— The Escondido City Council will consider a new man agement agreement with the California Center for the Arts several weeks after residents and elect ed officials expressed concerns over the ven ue’s showing of a contro versial art installation. The discussion of crafting a new agree ment, which expired three years ago and was never renewed, comes after the arts venue opened the “Street Lega cy: So Cal Style Masters” in June, highlighting Southern California’s subcultures.The exhibition, which closed Aug. 28, featured a controversial artwork by OG Slick, “Three Slick Pigs,” featuring three Porky Pig-style statues wear ing police uniforms and dancing in front of a large black-and-white photo of Minneapolis po lice officers wearing riot gear.Spray-painted on the large backdrop is the ac ronym “A.P.A.B.,” which stands for either “all pigs are bastards” or “all po lice are bastards.” Despite some public outcry, the arts center’s board of trustees voted in favor of keeping the piece on Accordingdisplay.to a state ment released by OG Slick on Instagram, the artwork is “a satirical look at excessive police force and abuse of power by some individuals who hide behind the badge of the largest ‘gang’ in the U.S.”Others did not appre ciate the artist’s attempt at satire.“Ithink it’s hate speech,” said Coun cilmember Mike Moras co. Shortly after the ex hibit’s opening, Morasco requested staff to bring back a “possible fund ing” discussion regard ing the arts center. Mayor Paul Mc Namara added to Moras co’s request to review the management relation ship between the city and the California Cen ter for the Arts. The council previ ously considered cutting the arts center’s funding in the spring to make up for a city budget deficit,

The San Diego Humane Society will take in the 108 beagles who arrived on a flight to Gillespie Field on Wednesday afternoon. The society says foster volun teers are ready to provide care for the dogs, who will be transported to the soci ety’s El Cajon shelter for in take and Aboutexams.50of the beagles are set to stay with SDHS fosters until they are adopt ed, while other local shelters — including Rancho Coastal Humane Society and PAWS of Coronado — will place the remainder of the beagles. San Diego Humane Society Senior Vice Presi dent Brian Daugherty said the dogs will need to be assessed, spayed/neutered and receive medical checks before they can be adopted, a process he said could take a fewInweeks.July,43 of the rescued beagles were also flown to the region and transported to the Helen Woodward Ani mal Center in Rancho Santa Fe.

San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance’s Northern White Rhino Initiative is dedicat ed to saving the northern white rhino through inno vative reproductive tech nologies, including artificial insemination, in vitro fertil ization and embryo transfer.
At the Nikita Kahn Rhi no Rescue Center, an inter disciplinary team—includ ing wildlife care and health teams, reproductive phys iologists and geneticists— are working with southern white rhinos as a model for developing these advanced reproductive technologies, with the ultimate goal to establish a sustainable pop ulation of northern white rhinos using banked genet ic material from the Frozen Zoo®, a critical component of San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance’s Wildlife Biodiver sity Banking efforts. Only two northern white rhinos remain on earth, residing at a wildlife conservancy in Kenya. Both are females and unable to reproduce naturally. The work being done to conserve the northern white rhino may also be applied to other rhino species, including crit ically endangered Sumatran and Javan rhinos. Livia and her calf will remain in their private habi tat for a period of time while they continue to bond. The calf will eventu ally be introduced to the other rhinos living at the Nikita Kahn Rhino Rescue Center—including five oth er adult females, one adult male, 1-year-old Arthur, and Edward and Future, both born at the Rhino Rescue Center in 2019 following hormone-induced ovulation and artificial insemination. An estimated 18,000 southern white rhinos re main in native habitats worldwide. The southern white rhino is classified as Near Threatened on the In ternational Union for Con servation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Spe cies, due to poaching threats and illegal trafficking of rhi no horn.Currently, it is estimat ed a rhino dies every eight hours in South Africa, due to forpoaching.Visitsdzsafaripark.orgmoreinformation.

If you’re a gambling man or woman (and two of this fall’s seven California ballot prop ositions are about gam ing), don’t bet the house against either November’s Prop. 26 or Prop. 27. Both these competing initiatives aim to legalize what once was criminal in this state. Legalizing one time vices seems to have become a ballot-box favor ite. The recent history of marijuana laws makes this clear, as voters first ap proved medical marijuana and later okayed full rec reational use of the weed, to the point where it’s now hard to find a city or town without at least one canna bis dispensary.Thehistory of legal gambling in California is only slightly less telling, voters in 2000 approving Indian gambling on once poor and desolate Native American reservations by an overwhelming 65%35% margin. They later drew a line and in 2004 refused to allow slot ma chines in urban card rooms and horse race tracks. But in 2008, tribal compacts vastly expand ing the number of slot machines on some reser vations were approved easily.Now come Props. 26 and 27, both aiming to le galize sports betting, a huge pastime from which Californians have been formally excluded. This still sends many thousands to Nevada for live betting and on to illicit offshore websites for online wa gers.It’s still unclear what would happen if both ini tiatives pass. If there’s a precedent here, it might be the 1978 battle between the Proposition 13 proper ty tax limits and milder limits in the rival Proposi tion 10. In that case, both passed, with 13 getting more votes and standing as untouchable law ever since.The betting initiatives differ widely: Prop. 26 al lows sports betting, but in-person only at casinos on semi-sovereign reser vations and at four horse race tracks — but not on line. It would also allow casino tribes to sue card rooms over some games they offer, while okaying dice games and roulette at Native American casinos. Meanwhile, Prop. 27, backed by online giants like FanDuel, DraftKings and BetMGM, legalizes online and other mobile sports betting, but would see the big operators each partner with Indian tribes. Fully 85% of tax revenue produced from this would be earmarked for housing and to help solve home lessness.Both measures pro vide avenues for almost unlimited growth of the interest groups behind them. It’s hard to see how they could co-exist, so the strong likelihood is for drawn-out legal battles over which one will gov ern, if both pass. So far, more than five dozen casino tribes are backing Prop. 26, which they see as their ticket to even more prosperity than they now enjoy. Most like ly, more Native Americans would gain wealth under 26 than with 27, where the bulk of the money would go to the big gaming com panies and a relative pit tance to aid the unhoused. The measures prom ise to make new money for many tribes that already rake in plenty; there’s precious little to protect gambling addicts from los ing whatever savings they may Today’shave. Indian gam bling, confined for the most part to reservations, also does little to protect gamblers from addiction. But at least now they usu ally must go to tribal lands to activate their habit. Cardroom operators, longtime exploiters of loopholes in restrictive state laws, whine that if 26 passes, it will prevent them from ever getting into games they now can not run, but which remain potential sources of riches. Their committee, with the pious-sounding name “Taxpayers Against Spe cial Interest Monopolies,” says 26 would “guaran tee tribal casinos a near monopoly on all gaming in California, adding rou lette, craps and sports wa gering to their current mo nopoly on slot machines.” All this leaves little doubt we are seeing a con test between heavily mon ied interests over who will become the most wealthy. That’s why, having raised more than $300 million before the Fourth of July, this campaign figures to become the most expen sive state electoral contest ever, of any type. The healthiest re sponse from voters would be to reject both measures, but given the pent-up de mand for sports betting in California and voters’ pri or approval of things long considered vices, that’s not likely to happen. Which means big-time sports betting will soon ar rive here, with a corps of lawyers likely to decide its eventual shape and scope.

— The city has hired an Ir vine-based consultant to help update the Grape Day Park Master Plan and de sign the aquatic center, projected to be finished by October 2025. The City Council agreed to enter into a $1,040,400 agreement with LPA, Inc. to design the $12 million aquatic center to replace the existing, small er James A. Stone pool at Grape Day Park. As part of the package, the firm will also assist in completing the Grape Day Park Mas ter Plan, which needs to be updated to include new elements such as a new lo cation for the restrooms and otherConsiderationsamenities. for the new aquatic center include a lap and competition pool, a recreational pool, splash pad, locker rooms and other pool support offices, land scaping and parking lot re configuration. Adding div ing boards have also been suggested.“The community has been waiting decades for an aquatic center, so I’m really happy that this is happen ing,” said Councilmember Consuelo Martinez. The aquatic center will serve the entire community and will especially benefit high school aquatic sports programs, according to Danielle Lopez, assistant director of Community Ser vices.“Our existing facilities are heavily used by our high school aquatics program for practices but are not suit able for competitions, so our teams are having to travel outside of Escondido to host their games and their tour naments,” Lopez said at the Aug. 24 council meeting. Before work on the pool design can begin, the Grape Day Park Master Plan up date needs to be complet ed, which is expected to take about seven months of community and stakeholder outreach. Lopez said once the plan is finished and the city requests bids for con struction of the park up dates, design on the aquatic center can begin. The park’s new re stroom facilities are in the design phase. One new element of the restrooms not included in the origi nal Grape Day Park Mas ter Plan is their location — originally the new re strooms were to be rebuilt in their current location but have since been moved to the center of the park.

The change in the city’s General Plan from a “low density” to “medium low density” residential desig nation allows for a maxi mum of five units per acre. However, state density bo nus rules allow the appli cant 5.88 units per acre. Of the 15 two-sto ry homes (atop garages) proposed, one would be deed-restricted for very low-income earners. The an ticipated price of the homes upon completion is $700,000 to $800,000.Whilethe council gen erally agreed that the proj ect was a unique way to address housing shortages in Vista, Melendez said the one deed-restricted home is “not going to solve our hous ing instability issue that we haveMelendezhere.” said she would like to see additional units deed restricted or des ignated affordable housing. On July 19, the Plan ning Commission denied the project — but with some recommendations on how to bring the project back. The planners found that the lot sizes and project de sign were incompatible with the neighborhood, saying that the proposed lot sizes were “significantly larger” than in surrounding neigh borhoods. They also had concerns about whether the infrastructure for emergen cy services was adequate. The issue came back before the council. Coun cilmember Corinna Contre ras said she struggled with a yes vote due to the substan dard status of McGavran Terrace, on the north side of the property, and its use as a secondary emergency route.“I really do not believe that density is an issue,” Contreras said. “I think the issue is the configuration of this lot with a proposed emergency access point, that really isn't suitable for an emergency.”McGavran Terrace is a private road owned by the residents. Councilmember Joe Green said that the sec ondary fire access will ben efit those Councilhomes.members asked staff about addressing traffic and road safety con cerns, which will require later action.

Council overrides planners, OKs development
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was the first day of school. It comes far too early for me, while the ocean is still 73 degrees and the sun shines without hindrance, but there you are. I always ease the jolt by watching the kinder gartners.Iwasn’t on hand for that first 15 minutes, which are always harrowing and hilarious. My sources re port, however, that it was fairlyTherepredictable.isalways one child who won’t let go of mom without a struggle and at least one mom who has to be firmly nudged out the door.Somehow, everyone is finally shuffled off in the right direction, doors close and a true milestone is reached by all concerned. With your first, it can be very tough to imagine the shrieking and quiver ing whirling dervish at tached to your leg will soon be chatting up a new friend in a circle on the floor. But by jiminy, she will. The highlight this year, however, was the hid er. There’s a reason for frequent head counts those first few weeks. The first time he had to be coaxed out of the playground play tunnel. The second time he was spotted in the bushes by a passing mom. This provided plenty of adren aline rushes for all con cerned.Ialso spotted the tell tale signs of the first run-in with that long list of social niceties. As one teacher led her little guys through the library, I heard “and it seems that some of us hav en’t learned about sharing yet.”When I finally had a reason to wander into the kindergarten rooms, there was only 20 minutes left of the day. At first glance, ev eryone seemed involved in any number of activities. Then one child sud denly came flying up with a slightly stricken look and asked, “Will my mom be hereIsoon?”amcertain he had asked his teacher that same question every half an hour, but, glory be, here was a second opinion that might well provide a more acceptable answer. To his disappointment, I told him that same thing I expect he had been hear ing all day. “Oh yes. She’ll be here pretty soon.” It was the same answer I would have given him had it been 9 a.m. Anything more specific risks a melt down, and for these guys, 10 minutes is the same as two hours.There was the predict able after-school mini-tan trum in the library when one mom gamely stopped to make copies of something. Her weary 5-year-old had simply used up every drop of willpower and good be havior he could muster. Spending one more minute in these trying halls was out of the question. He rallied when I of fered him and his sister a choice of small trinkets from my stash of treats. That was all it took to suck it up and buy mom that critical extra time. It’s easy to be a hero if 1) it’s not your child 2) it’s the end of the day and 3) the child hasn’t begun to hold his/her breath. Truth was by that time, we all needed a nap.

The city pays annu al fees of approximately $810,000 for natural gas and electricity, $337,579 for maintenance and $655,370 in management fees, the latter of which is paid in two installments in July and TheJanuary.July installment was paused due to the coun cil’s Californiadiscussion.
NEW KNEE REPAIR Patients with tears of their anterior cruciate liga ment (ACL) now have a new treatment option that can replace the need for ACL reconstruction surgery, as a North County doctor recent ly became the first in San Diego County to perform a procedure using a new implantable device that enables the body to heal its own torn ligament. The minimally invasive surgery was performed by Carlsbad resident and Scripps Clin ic surgeon Tim Wang, MD, at the new advanced am bulatory surgery center at
On first day, the little ones didn’t disappoint talksmalljeangillette but cutbacks were avoided with COVID-19 relief funds. The city reduced the center’s funding from $1.9 to $1.5 million, including a $133,000 reduction in the management fee, intending to renegotiate the manage ment agreement in the fol lowing months.
Joe Garcia, who served as Es condido Police Depart ment’s chaplain for over 15 years and has two brothers who are retired police offi cers, was also unhappy with the piece and the center’s response.Aspart of the soon-tobe new management agree ment, Garcia wants to see quarterly reports of activi ties going on and funding to the center divided into por tions that are given to spe cific areas – mainly to the center’s performing arts department and its Tierra Caliente Academy of Arts, a nonprofit dance organi zation based in the center. Garcia also wants to have more “open dialogue with the center.”Garcia noted he has been a 25-year resident of Escondido and didn’t know the center had an art muse um, suggesting the center’s marketing strategies had failed.McNamara and Garcia also claimed the piece of fended more people than what some of the public speakers present at the meeting suggested. Garcia said he had many people ap proach him demanding the city defund the center. However none of the 20 public comments on Aug. 1 reflected that sentiment and demanded the city keep funding in place or in creaseAccordingit. to Deputy Mayor Tina Inscoe, all coun cil members have attended the exhibit and have seen the installation, noting the installation has been “ex tremelyCouncilmembersuccessful.” Con suelo Martinez said she found the timing of the discussion disappointing, considering it followed the council’s approval of the city budget in June, which includes the center’s fund ing. “The timing seems very retaliatory,” Martinez said. “It caused a lot of angst and upset the Whilecommunity.”Martineznoted she did not share the same reaction to the installation as several of the other coun cil members, she agreed the management agreement needed to be updated.

Chief Op erating Officer Katie Muel ler said staff got to work on developing ideas for next year’s fair and selected one that celebrates San Diego County’s climate and out doors, “from the pines to the palms.”“Ilove this theme because it's a real call to action,” Mueller told the board. "What you’re going to see is a celebration of the diversity of outdoor ac tivities that we have in San Diego County and beyond. Picture summer camp meets the start of summer." Alongside the usual carnival and grandstand performances, attendees can expect vendors offer ing re-imagined campfire snacks, exhibitions honor ing the state and national parks, and opportunities for traditional summer camp activities like scav enger hunts, arts and crafts and relay races. An accompanying logo for the 2023 fair depicts a Ferris wheel against the backdrop of mountains, pine trees and palm trees, and an image of a pitched camping“We’retent. looking for ward to next year and cre ating a fun, memorable ex perience the whole family can take part in together, and we hope to help inspire guests to ‘get out there’ and explore some of the natural beauty around us both near and far,” said Fairgrounds CEO Carlene Moore. Next year’s season will run Wednesdays through Sundays throughout June and be closed Mondays and Tuesdays, except the fair’s last week in July. As a re sult, the 2023 fair will run one day longer than this year’s 21-day stretch. The fairgrounds didn’t stop with planning for 2023, though. Breaking the mold of previous years, staff also presented the proposed theme for the 2024 fair, “Let’s Go Retro,” to theFairboard.officials said they are trying to move away from annual fair planning and instead take a longer view to get ahead of com peting fairs throughout the country. Board Vice Pres ident Frederick Schenk explained that many en tertainers often book their performances up to 18 months in advance. “This is kind of ground breaking for us, but it is so important,” said Schenk. "A fair takes at least 10 months to begin planning, but an even better fair takes even longer. By ap proving this theme, you’re allowing our staff to begin the thought process for the [2024]Muellerfair." said the “Let’s Go Retro” theme would be reminiscent of the colorful aesthetics of the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s and could be tied into the fair entertainment in a way that hasn’t been done in years past. Board members ulti mately decided to table a vote on the 2024 theme un til a future meeting after expressing concerns about rushing into plans and not giving staff enough time to incorporate attendee feed back from the past fair. Officials said planned dates and a logo for the 2024 fair would also be an nounced this fall. Officials were pleased with the outcome of the most recent fair, which concluded July 4 and saw approximately 973,000 at tendees, just under their at tendance goal of 1,000,050 after a two-year hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.Moore said they were able to deliver an allaround successful fair de spite hiring challenges in the months leading up to the event and complica tions presented by infla tion and the new COVID-19 variant.“We were in the pro cess of responsibly regrow ing our full-time staff, not to mention the 1,200 or so folks needed to produce the San Diego County Fair,” Moore said. “We delivered on a pre-pandemic fair with, in essence, pandem ic-sized staff.” A financial report out lining revenue from the 2022 fair will be presented to the 22nd DAA board at their October meeting.

KAYAKERS PADDLE toward icebergs at Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon in Iceland. It is one of the stops on the annual Iceland tour offered by GeoTours through the Anza-Borrego Desert Natural History Association.
“There was an underly ing tension during the trip about the pending volcanic eruption,” Case said. “We were getting updates from Gisli (our superb Icelandic driver) about earthquakes near the site of last year’s volcanic eruption, signal ing the rise of magma (mol ten rock) upward toward Earth’s surface. We were fortunate the eruption didn’t affect air travel this time.”Tour leaders Ebiner and Barrie decided to see it firsthand between sched uled tours, and although Fagradalsfjall is not far from the capital city, Reyk javik, the hike to and from the volcano was an arduous 9-mile round trip. “The terrain was steep and rocky in places,” Bar rie said, “but Icelandic au thorities have been quick to improve the route and also place safety-monitor ing personnel on-site.” Despite nature’s dra ma, Solana Beach business owner David Cain found the visit to a puffin colony was his favorite adventure. “It wasn’t just seeing the puffins,” he said. “It was the whole day’s expe rience,” which included talking with the family that offered the tour and were stewards for the land; the tractor-drawn cart ride over the wetlands; the hike uphill on the black sand beach; and the walk at the top of the headlands, part of the puffins’ habitat. “(Iceland) was a trip of a lifetime for me,” Cain said. “It exceeded every one’s Forexpectations.”morephotos and discussion, visit book.com/elouise.ondashwww.face e’louise
Amecca for geolo gists.That’s what Iceland is for Don Barrie, a geology professor at San Diego Mesa College and co-leader of annual summer trips to the island country.“Something about it transforms me,” he said. “The geology is in your face. It’s easy to imagine how the Earth was formed. It a cliché, but it is the land of fire and ice.” Barrie and co-lead er Matt Ebiner, a retired geography professor and owner of GeoTours, served as leaders for two tours to Iceland composed main ly of members of the An za-Borrego Desert Natural History Association. Sev eral participants are North County residents. Prospec tive travelers had to be quick to register. “We knew Iceland was a popular association trip,” said San Marcos resident Laurie Brindle. “So last August, we were poised to hit ‘send’ the moment on line registration became available (for this year). According to Matt, it sold out in three minutes. We didn’t make it. Fortunate ly, a second tour was added and we were in.” The tours followed the coastal route known as the Ring Road because it wraps around the perime ter of“InIceland.summertime, it’s verdant green, with fields of lupine and volcanic landscapes that look other worldly,” Barrie said. “In southern Iceland, valley glaciers seem to pour from Vatnajokull, Iceland’s larg est ice cap, creating riv ers of snow and ice falling down onto dark volcanic rock.”As beautiful as that sounds, Iceland is unique in another respect. “It’s the only place on Earth where a divergent tectonic plate boundary — where two plates pull apart — slices through the middle of a large oce anic island,” Barrie said. “Straddling an active plate boundary, where the North American Plate moves westward with respect to the Eurasian Plate, was a thrill of a lifetime” during his first trip to Iceland in 2015.“All I knew after that trip was that I had to re turn.”Ebiner and Barrie work to provide new ex periences each year. This time it was visiting the site of the 1783-1784 Laki erup tion in southeast Iceland. The volcano’s lava, ash and toxic gases changed the Earth’s temperatures, poi soned crops, and caused ill ness, famine and death in humans and animals. Getting to the eruption site involved traveling into Iceland’s interior, far from the Ring Road, Barrie said. “We forded several rivers en route.”Thetrek was worth it. “The views from the top of Mount Laki were spectacular, especially looking down on the string of volcanoes running in both directions with a gla cier in the distance,” said Cardiff resident John Case. “We learned these volca noes are referred to as a craterLuckrow.”and timing were working in concert this year with regard to an other eruption — that of Fagradalsfjall volcano, which began on Aug. 3.

By Ryan Woldt The most important note you should take away from this Bean Journal column is that the Old California Cof fee House and Eatery in San Marcos is still open. Yes, there is a propos al for the redevelopment of Restaurant Row, but the future is murky. Until then, Old Cal Coffee is still serv ing coffee, gelato, tea, pas tries, wraps, sandwiches and acai bowls. I mentioned coffee, didn’t I? There is still Wi-Fi and patio tables shaded by trees and bright red umbrellas that — with a light breeze passing through — remind me of tailgating Wisconsin footballInside,games.there are plenty of tables for remote workers to set up laptops under worn wood ceiling beams. A new, hipster cafe would covet the glossy sheen of wear on those beams, but here it has come honestly.

Old Cal Coffee has been in business since 1990.* The walls are covered in mechanical gear-inspired artwork and framed prints of vintage hot air balloons and trains. The iconic, the ater marquee-inspired Old Cal Coffee sign is lit up over a vintage couch that offers an alternative to the table tops. Silhouetted in the light of the letters is a gentleman clicking and clacking on a laptop.On the morning I’m vis iting, all the doors are wide open, blurring the lines be tween indoors and out.
Erin Nenow, co-owner of the cafe, roasts the cafe’s featured coffee. After 15 years in the coffee business, she launched Ascend Roast ers during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. The batch-brewed drip coffee I’m drinking this morning is a Costa Rica coffee appropriately named “House.” It’s a medium roast that I would proffer leans a bit dark — just a lit tle bit.Ascend Roasters does a great job of meeting the needs of its customers with more traditionally roasted beans.It isn’t packed midweek, mid-morning, but there is a consistent stream of customers lining up at the register.The crowd is a mix of retirees and moms with strollers, remote workers, students** and what appear to be the employees of ev ery business that shares the parking lot at Restaurant Row. Their logo tees and comfortable shoes give them away.Behind the counter, Erin greets most of them by name, and everyone gets a smile. No one is rushed through, and no one seems to mind waiting a moment for the punchline or to receive an extra dash of cream.There is a sense of neighborliness that perme ates the space. I take my coffee to the patio and settle in the shade under an umbrella near the back. I can just hear the in die rock music filtering out through the open doorways. Cars rush by on San Marcos Boulevard, but it is easy to shift focus to the hillsides surrounding Dou ble Peak Park in the back ground.The smell of toasted bagel mixes with the sweet sourness of recently wa tered succulents that adorn the stone half-wall that lines the patio. Someone sits down nearby and opens a book, settling in.
Old Cal Coffee isn’t on my way or even near my home, but while I can, I’ll make the drive. I’ll do it for a cup of coffee. I’ll do it for a home made chocolate chip cookie, and I’ll do it to bask in the little moments of humanity afforded me here.
*There have been vari ous iterations and remodels through the years. The orig inal coffee shop was called Mocha**CalMarketplace.StateSan Marcos and a couple high schools are nearby.

Our loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Mary Frances Owens Kressin, peacefully went home to the Lord on June 19, 2022, at the age of 90. Mary was an only child to Bill and Frances Owens.Though you would rarely meet a humbler per son, she grew up in Edina, Minnesota in a country club community. Mary was an only child, but was very close to her many, many cousins and consid ered them siblings. Mary was a good stu dent, but also excelled in sports like softball, which was unusual for girls of that era. She was involved in drama, even gaining membership in the Nation al Thespian Society while in highAfterschool.university, Mary starred in a local TV show in Minneapolis, reading books to children…..a precursor to today’s zoom classrooms!Maryattended Catho lic school growing up and so continued her educa tion at St. Catherine’s Col lege, majoring in Library Science.Her time at “St. Kate’s” was incredibly special to her. She often commented that one ad vantage of going to an all-women’s college was that a woman’s opinion was never diminished by a professor deferring to a male student’s opinion. Another advantage was that you could wear curl ers in your hair to class and no one minded! Mary was very well traveled. She traveled to many big cities in the U.S. and even Taxco de Alar con, Mexico’s silver capi tal, with her parents. She traveled to Europe twice on St. Kate trips, making many memories with her dear friends, and stayed very involved in the St. Catherine alumni group. After the children were raised, she also had fantastic trips with Tom to Cabo, Guatemala, Canada, and even AfterSingapore!university, Mary was hired as a Worthing ton school librarian. Since each school in those days did not have a school li brary, Mary drove a huge bookmobile all throughout the district even in snowy winters.Tom often joked that she needed to join the teamster union. She worked as a children’s li brarian until she married. In the late 1950s, Mary went on a blind date organized by her cousin Helen. There she met the love of her life, Tom. They married in 1959 and began growing their family right away.They moved to Tor rance, California from Minnesota following Tom’s job. Within 8 years, Mary had given birth to 6 chil dren. Mary and Tom cel ebrated by going out to dinner the day the cloth diaper pail was thrown away!As the family grew, Tom and Mary need ed to move to bigger homes. From Torrance, they moved to 2 different homes in Palos Verdes, and then on to WhereverCarlsbad.they lived, Mary made the house into a home. Mary was a devot ed mother to her children, never thinking of herself and always putting them first. She made sure books were always a part of their lives as well as supporting them in any sports they wanted to participate in. She was often seen driving the big blue “bus” (Ford van) around town filled with all of her children. She never failed to give her children good, nutritious meals, even put ting vegetables in their sack lunches. She and Tom firmly believed in treating all their 6 children and 16 grandchildren equally re gardless of achievements or status in life. She even counted the jellybeans in the yearly Easter baskets so no one would feel left out. She loved them all unconditionally.completelyWhilesupportingher husband unceasingly, he would freely admit she kept him in line. Mary was the moral compass for us all. After raising the chil dren in Carlsbad, Tom and Mary moved to La Costa to enjoy the marvelous beach views, and then Leucadia to enjoy the marvelous beachInwalks.2005,they moved to warmer Fallbrook, where a 1 story home seemed more practical. In Fallbrook, they have been active members of the communi ty and dedicated parishio ners of St. Peter the Apos tle Church.Maryis greatly missed and survived by her hus band of 62 years, Tom; her children and their spouses: Maggie (Peter), Peter, Katie, Andrew (Di ana), Jim (Cathy), and Joe (Angelina); her grandchil dren: Maureen (Nick), Ryan, Brendan, Caitlin, Thomas, Lauren, Mathew (Cheyenne), Sarah, Daniel (Tiffany), Jared, AJ, Mary Cate, Skye, Jacob (Henri etta), and Leah (Jared); and her great-grandchil dren: Arden, Lennox, Liam, and Audrey.

If Tatis truly is re morseful, and to be fair his words are hollow at this point, then Tuesday could be a landmark day in fran chise history. One can find the light in the strangest of places if they look at it just right, and just maybe after doing so much wrong, Tatis can once again shine. Tatis’ past is clouded with him not agreeing to the club’s request to fix his compromised shoulder, him arguing with teammate Manny Machado in the dug out and by his poor judge ment in riding motorcycles in the offseason that led to him breaking his wrist. “I’m learning, I’m ma turing,” Tatis said. That’s all fine, but at 23 and possessing one of the richest contracts in base ball history, his maturation is coming at an odd time. Better late than never, but it’s clear Tatis can no lon ger play the “I’m a kid” card when he runs afoul of commonTatissense.blindsided every Padres booster by cheat ing, seemingly turning to a atisdrugperformance-enhancingforanedge.WithTaflunkingadrugtestforsubstanceheclaimedmis takenly entered his body, he won’t play this year and for a month or so next year. “Wait until next year” is a common baseball cho rus when a team is elimi nated. But the Padres, in a rare position to make the postseason, are already spouting that about one of their best Beforeplayers.hecould return, Tatis had to come clean and we’re not referring to a sample in a beaker. Ta tis did that while breaking news that he will have his shoulder operated on and will spend much of the off season in San Diego. This is about going for ward, which should drive anyone looking for redemp tion.Regardless of the past, the future of Tatis and Pa dres is cemented with his $340 million contract not expiring until after the 2034 season. Tatis will re ceive $36 million in each of the pact’s final six years. Something else with an expiration date was for giveness and the clock was running for Tatis. Tatis needed to do something that has avoided him throughout his spec tacular and abbreviated ca reer and that is to act like a man. Like a man, it was past time for Tatis to be re sponsible for his actions. Tatis saluted those who had, and continue to have, his back through all his missteps. He pointed affec tion toward his followers, many of whom are Little Leaguers who will never look at their prized Tatis Padres jersey in the same way.The way back to their good graces is by words and actions. It comes from breaking from the past and, like any good man, ac knowledging that a blunder was made and that it won’t happenTatisagain.did force count less adults to have a serious discussion with children about the consequences of not playing by the rules. That their favorite player, Tatis, was more of a scoun drel than a superstar this season for reasons unrelat ed to throwing or catching a baseball is noteworthy. But a bigger lesson can be delivered by revealing that a winner can lose and still forge on. Is that Tatis’ narra tive going forward? He says so, but time will tell if the Tatis who appeared on Tuesday has become the man the Padres had always hoped he Wordswould.are great, ac tions are better and Tatis needs to shine with both to restore his reputation.

By Staff VISTA — Join Urban Corps of San Diego Coun ty and the city of Vista for a community tree plant ing event 9:30 a.m. Sept. 7 at Raintree Park, 545 E. Townsite Drive. This free event will give residents an opportunity to plant a community tree that will help build the urban forest in Vista.“As a conservation corps, we know the value of trees in a community,” said Kyle Kennedy, CEO of Urban Corps of San Diego County. “Not only do they provide beauty, but they provide shade to keep areas cool. With the record heat that we have had, adding more trees to a community is a huge ben efit.”Urban Corps was awarded $1.253 million in Proposition 68 funding from CAL Fire’s Urban and Community Forestry’s Urban Forest Expansion and Improvement grant to plant 2,000 trees through out San Diego County in cluding 200 trees through out the city of Vista. “We are excited to partner with Urban Corps to support our efforts to maintain a thriving urban forest in Vista,” said Kuna Muthusamy, director of Public“OurWorks.urban forest is an important part of our infrastructure. It enhanc es the beauty and livabili ty of the city and provides many benefits including shade, run-off and erosion control, improved air qual ity and climate change mitigation.”Thecity of Vista has about 19,000 trees with around 8,000 of these trees planted on city-owned property, including street medians, parks, open spac es and at public facilities. The remaining bal ance can be found in lining main and arterial roads or are privately owned trees that were planted in the public right-of-way portion of many parcels during the development phase of home building projects. Since 2018, the city has planted more than 600 trees and will continue to seek out partners and grants for future plant ings.Urban Corp’s San Di ego County Urban For estry and Arboriculture Project has a total of seven partners including the cit ies of Vista, Encinitas, San Diego, Imperial Beach and La Mesa along with the Rancho Santa Fe Associa tion.All partners have agreed to receive trees and are working with Urban Corps on appropriate spe cies, location and proper maintenance.

Vista hosts community tree planting
Fernando Tatis Jr., fresh from hitting 42 home runs last year, smacked his first one this year last week. It came without a pitch er on the mound nor was it accompanied by one of Tatis’ signature bat flips. There was no cheering crowd marveling over their goose bumps, with Tatis connecting with very few souls in Petco Park. “I have made mistakes, but I’m going to learn from them,” Tatis said. Tatis came clean after a dirty drug test revealed he had ingested a perfor mance-enhancing drug that drew an 80-game suspen sion from MLB. He finally met with the press since the stunning news broke on Aug. 12, facing the music that was far from a happy tune.“This is the most terri ble time of my life,” Tatis said. “It was a stupid mis take; it was me being reck less.”His redemption tour was in full gear, as he also spoke with his disappoint ed teammates. This came after he had apologized to general manager A.J. Prel ler and presumably bowed his head in shame toward Padres owner Peter Seidler. “I have let so many people down,” Tatis said. “I have lost so much love from people. I have failed.” But he won last week by being contrite and try ing to convey a sense of understanding of the fall out from him cutting a cor ner. He stood by his tale of treating ringworm with the banned substance, which is commendable if still not whollyThebelievable.truthisTatis took a giant step forward, a piece of footwork that eclipses the little shuffle he does before touching third base on homers. The process was difficult, and it required Tatis to squirm before the cameras as he asked for for giveness.“There’s no (one) other to blame but myself,” Tatis said. “I made a mistake.” When winners lose, they accept it and learn from it. No one goes through life undefeated and that’s been proven time and Whenagain.losers lose, they point fingers at others or use mitigating circum stances as a crutch. The opportunity to grow is stunted by their lack of ac countability.
