FAM also provides food to people who need it for their families and there is an allocation for how much a family is able to use.

“We no longer give out food that used to be cooked for the population,” Perdue said.

“They used to but it was different and things have changed. The numbers have increased that they can’t safely provide the food.”

It’s not just a bailout, however. People are given a six-month window to try to help themselves or FAM must refer them to other services. They also work with 2-11 OC and Homeward Bound, which helps reunite homeless people with their family.

Ocean Institute Launches Campaign to Re-Energize the Spirit of Dana Point THE LATEST: After receiving a California Cultural and Historical Endowment grant, the Ocean Institute recently launched a campaign to raise funds to match that grant in order for the Spirit of Dana Point to receive a new engine. Generally, grants such as these are offered to capital investment projects.

The engine currently in the Spirit is an antiquated diesel engine, and the Ocean Institute aims to update to a more environmentally friendly engine that keeps with the Ocean Institute’s goal of environmental sustainability while also maintaining the structural authenticity of the Spirit.

“This new engine will reduce emissions by over 80 percent and meet all current Environmental Protection Agency standards,” said Dan Goldbacher, director of maritime programs at the Ocean Institute.

WHAT’S NEXT: Goldbacher said the Ocean Institute hopes to raise funds to match the $68,765 dollars grant by Sept. 1.

“The Spirit of Dana Point takes more than 5,600 students onboard every year for educational programs,” Goldbacher shared. “We want to be able to continue that mission on this ship, originally built within Orange County.”

The Ocean Institute is calling upon the public and those that support the Spirit’s mission to raise funds for this vital upgrade. Those interested can reach out to Goldbacher personally at dgoldbacher@ oceaninstitute.org. —Daniel Ritz

Orange County Students 4 City Council Gets Campaign Trails Started THE LATEST: A few students from the high school graduating class of 2018 and other young politicians are intending to run for their respective City Councils. Some of the students only gained the right to vote within the last year, as some are 18 years old.

As of July 11, there were six candidates who are endorsed by the Orange County Students 4 City Council group including Jackson Hinkle and Jake Rybczyk who are running for San Clemente City Council; Ian Macdonald, 20, is running for Buena Park City Council’s District 2; Jose Trinidad Castañeda, 27, is running for Fullerton City Council; Mahmoud El-Farra, 18, is running for Mission Viejo City Council; and Manuel Chavez, 22, Costa Mesa City Council’s District 4. More candidates could join the organization in the future.

In order to receive support by the group, candidates must be 27 years old or

younger, pledge not to take any corporate funding for their campaign and raise funds through grassroots donations. The Students coalition has also hosted events where they encouraged people to register to vote.

The organization has already received some notable press in interviews with web-based progressive show The Young Turks and various local media.

Candidates are not officially able to pull nomination papers for City Council in Dana Point until Monday, July 16 for the Nov. 6 general election. The Dana Point Times will report and keep an update on candidates as nomination papers are pulled for Dana Point’s City Council election. —Eric Heinz

Glittering Gems Highlight at Monthly SOCGEMS Meeting on July 18 On July 18, Bob Johnson, a stonecutter, will discuss the fine art of creating a beautiful, glittering jewel out of raw material he’s found or purchased, at the monthly South Orange County Gem and Mineral Society (SOCGEMS) meeting at 7:15 p.m on Wednesday, July 18 at San Clemente Community Center, 100 N. Calle Seville.

Johnson began cutting stones in 1978 when he decided that hauling raw rock and gem materials to sell at 25-27 rock shows a year, all around the country, was getting to be “heavy work.”

“If I cut a big stone into a gem stone, I could put a bunch into a Tupperware and it weighed less and cost more,” Johnson said.

He retired from the gem trade in 2014 and has since put his love of stone cutting to work by teaching others.

SOCGEMS meetings are held the third Wednesday of the month, 7:15 p.m. in the San Clemente Community Center, 100 N. Calle Seville, San Clemente (next door to the library). Guests are welcome at no charge. Speaker presentation is preceded by hospitality and refreshments, a raffle and brief business meeting.

GEMS.com.The 56-year old nonprofit organization serves the entire South Orange County community.

Water Quality Plan Acceptance is a Significant Milestone for South Orange County San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) recently accepted the South Orange County Water Quality Improvement Plan (South OC WQIP) that lays a foundation for managing storm water runoff for years to come.

The regional municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) permit issued by the Water Board regulates storm water runoff from urbanized areas in the San Diego Region, which includes South Orange County, and requires the development and implementation of a Water Quality Improvement Plan for watershed management areas. On June 20, the Water Board accepted the South OC WQIP. The South OC WQIP identifies highpriority water quality conditions, such as human pathogen health risks, stream erosion and unnatural water balance, and establishes goals, strategies and schedules for addressing them. Strategies to improve human pathogen risks focus on controlling sources of human waste. Stream restoration efforts will combat stream erosion.

Eliminating dry weather runoff will help address unnatural water balance.

For more information about the South OC WQIP, contact Cindy Rivers at cindy.rivers@ocpw.ocgov.com or visit the OC Watersheds website, www.ocwatersheds.com.

Dana Point Times July 13-19, 2018

In response to the letter to the editor, “China Tariffs and What Has Happened” in the June 6-12 edition of the Dana Point Times, you cannot single out a few businesses for selling imported products.

Almost everything in every business is imported, be it Walmart or Nordstrom.

Our modern state of affairs is all caused by greed. It’s only going to get worse, thanks to giant monopolies like Amazon and an explosion of advertising, everywhere you look.

WHY I AM RUNNING FOR CITY COUNCIL IN MONARCH BEACH- DISTRICT 1 JOE JAEGER, Monarch Beach

I believe in five star neighborhoods, not just five star hotels. It’s time we have a City Council that puts Dana Point and Monarch Beach residents first. Unfortunately, our current Council majority has failed to preserve the character of our city.

We need to make sure Dana Point continues to be a great place to live. As your council member, I will fight to preserve our quality of life.

I will address the proliferation of residential recovery facilities (“Sober Living Homes”) in Monarch Beach by supporting a city ordinance that preserves the residential characteristics of our neighborhoods. I will promote community-based policing to combat illegal drug use and crime. I support collaborative programs and initiatives to address our homeless challenges.

I will re-establish the city’s Financial Review Committee to restore fiscal responsibility to city government, and work to ensure that Dana Point not only lives within its means, but creates surpluses to support investments in the hopes and dreams of our community – enhanced parks, beautification efforts, and continued development of the Lantern District and the revitalization of Doheny Village.

I support a Council initiative to develop a short-term rental ordinance that respects property rights but protects our quality of life. I will restore the integrity of our City Council by rejecting backroom deals with developers and no-bid contracts. And I will bring open government and transparency to Dana Point.

I am a member of the city’s former Financial Review Committee. During my 37-year career, I served as the Chief FinanPage 6

cial Officer for a publicly-held company, and held several senior-level positions with privately held companies. I earned my MBA at New York University, and also attended Harvard’s Program for Management Development.

I will always be accessible and available to all of my neighbors and Dana Point residents.

I am honored to have your support and pledge to put the needs of residents first.

For more information on my “residents first” campaign, please go to www. jaegerformonarch.com.

LAWSUIT THREATENING PROTECTION AGREEMENT COULD THREATEN STATE PARK

and San Onofre State Park. These areas are there for the enjoyment of us all; hikers, bikers, families, and surfers.

Last year, the San Clemente City Council filed a lawsuit which aims to erase the TCA’s commitment to avoid construction of the toll road in San Onofre State Park, but the City Council’s efforts to undo these hard-fought protections for the park are misdirected.

I sympathize with my fellow south Orange County community members who oppose construction of a TCA project through our community, but destroying protections for the San Mateo Watershed and San Onofre is not the way to protect our community.

ED SCHLEGEL, Capistrano Beach

As a longtime Capistrano Beach resident and advocate for San Onofre State Beach, I am extremely troubled by the San Clemente City Council’s efforts to invalidate protections for the park. Our community finally won a commitment to avoid construction in the park after 15 years of battling the TCA’s (Transportation Corridor Agencies) efforts to build a toll road through the Donna O’Neill Land Conservancy, the San Mateo Watershed

uring “Phase One” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it wasn’t necessarily an obligation to see every movie the franchise released.

If you already liked Thor or Captain America as characters, you’d check out their movies. If not, you weren’t necessarily missing much with your sporadic superhero viewing. Now, with the advent of Avengers: Infinity War having a huge cliffhanger affecting every hero’s arc, most viewers want to make sure their favorite characters are okay. Which is probably why so many people went to Ant-Man and the Wasp last weekend.

At the same time most of the Avengers are fighting Thanos in NYC, Scott Lang/Ant-man (Paul Rudd) is still on house arrest in San Francisco. He’s trying to find creative ways to keep himself and his 9-year-old daughter Cassie occupied at home. But then Hope van Dyne/Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) kidnaps him when she discovers that Scott has a telepathic connection to her mother, Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer)—previously presumed dead. On top of this, a mysterious villain known as “Ghost” (Hannah John-Kamen) and seedy black market dealer Sonny Burch (Walton Goggins) both want the Pym-van Dyne family’s technology.

The good thing about Ant-Man and the Wasp is that even with the tie-ins to Infinity War, it still works as a standalone feature. The best part is that the tone is the traditional light-hearted, fun romp we go to summer blockbusters for, compared to the grim turn Infinity War took last time. Rudd and Lilly carry the film as well as the first time in 2015 and Peyton Reed directs the right amount of jokes in between action. DP www.danapointtimes.com

GETTING OUT

On Stage at The Coach House: Henry Kapono

BY EMILY RASMUSSEN, DANA POINT TIMES

T

raveling from Hawaii, Henry Kapono—vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, composer, thrilling performer and award-winning musician—is coming to The Coach House on Friday, July 27.

Known for his rock vibe that reflects sounds of his Hawaiian culture, Kapono is a Grammy-nominated musician who started out with his laid-back island rock band of Cecilio & Kapono in the 70s and 80s.

Kapono launched his solo career soon after, producing 18 albums and producing fans worldwide to his Henry Kapono & Friends collaborations.

Kapono’s newest release, “Welcome 2 My Paradise!” celebrates the happiness of simplicity and beauty. Kapono will be performing many tunes from the new album at the July 27 performance.

“I wanted to keep it real simple, the theme of it is mainly an island boy going to America,” Kapono said. “It’s about my travels through different places in America, meeting people. It’s really about my life away from paradise, but I take paradise with me everywhere I go because it’s just who I am.”

Kapono has been traveling back-andforth from Hawaii to tours mainly on the West Coast for some 40 years. His performances at The Coach House span back to Kapono’s days with Cecilio & Kapano as well.

“They just keep asking me to come back and I’m happy for that. It’s a great place, the owner is a really great guy and I just enjoy making music,” Kapono said.

“I enjoy playing for people and making them happy.”

Kapono performs regularly in Hawaii, with a show on each island about once a month, doing conventions and private parties.

“My life has really been wonderful, I enjoy making music and playing music.

This tour is called ‘Welcome 2 My Paradise!’ which is a new album I’m releasing, and most people have most of my albums already—so they’ve been asking for a new album—this tour is based around the new album. I’ll play a lot of the old classics, I can’t get away without doing those, but most of it is focused on the new songs.”

Kapono said a key element of the new album is that he didn’t want to add too many things to the sound, or overproduce the tunes.

“I wanted it to be simple and I wanted it to be fun, just something new,” he said.

“There’s a song called ‘New York’ about stopping in New York at the airport for six hours and I just wrote a song. A lot of the songs are written in New York while Page 9

waiting for my flights.”

Kapono said he’s happy with the way the album came out. He feels the catchy lyrics of his song will stick in people’s minds as they drive home from The Coach House.

“They will probably get a few songs stuck in their heads on their way home,” Kapono said. “I like to mix things up for everybody. I have fans that love to hear the same thing all of the time, but I have the new songs which is something I want to get to everybody.”

Many songs on the album revolve around walking the sandy beaches of Hawaii, reflecting on his childhood, surfing, and the lifestyle of “aloha.” Kapono said he thinks audiences of his show will leave feeling happy, light and smiling.

“I think we have a fun show, that’s mainly what it’s all about is having fun and being in a happy place and playing some great music,” Kapono said. “I love The Coach House, I love playing there, people are so nice and I’m really looking forward to it.”

“Welcome 2 My Paradise!” releases the same week as Kapono’s tour to The Coach House.

Doors open at 6 p.m. on July 27 for the show, which begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 and VIP tickets are $50. The Coach House is located at 33157 Camino Capistrano, San Juan Capistrano. For tickets or more information, call 949.496.8930 or visit www.thecoachhouse.com. DP www.danapointtimes.com

GUEST OPINION: On Life and Love after 50 by Tom Blake

Tom Blake’s Column Turns 24 Years Old

T

wenty-four years ago, on July 7, 1994, my first newspaper column was published. It appeared in the South County Lifestyles section of four Orange County Register community newspapers.

People often ask, “Did you learn to write in journalism school?”

I answer: “No journalism school. I learned to write sitting on bar stools, while trying to meet women after my divorce.”

That answer probably needs an explanation.

On Christmas Eve 1993, my wife of six years took what furniture and belongings she wanted from our Monarch Beach home and moved out of my life. I was in Santa Rosa, north of San Francisco, visiting my 83-year-old mom.

I did not know about the move out. Oh, I knew we had some issues to discuss, but most couples do. I found out the morning after Christmas when she telephoned me at mom’s.

On the drive home, I had a notepad in my lap. When you’ve got nine hours to drive, knowing your wife has bailed out, a million thoughts go through your mind.

Being very careful, I jotted them down.

The first item: What about my dogs, Amy and Kira? Were they gone? Were they still there? Had they been fed or left water in two days?

The next item: Why did she do it without us discussing it first?

Although I wasn’t a writer, by trip’s end, I had a mishmash of notes on the notepad.

I had no idea those notes would be the start of a writing career.

When I opened the garage door, the dogs barked. They were okay. We were happy to see each other.

A month later, while serving sandwiches during lunchtime at Tutor and Spunky’s, my Dana Point deli, in front of customers and employees, I was served—with divorce papers!

That night, as I did every night, I jotted down my thoughts in what by then had become a soon-to-be-divorced-man’s diary. I wrote, “Today was the last straw.

I’ll get even with her. I’m going to begin dating immediately.”

I was 54 and thought dating would be a snap, as a plethora of single women came through the deli doors. What a rude

Dana Point Times July 13-19, 2018

awakening. Younger female deli customers wouldn’t date me. In fact, women regardless of age wouldn’t date me.

I sat on bar stools at Brio, Hennessey’s and other local singles’ hangouts, looking for love. I’d add the dating misadventures into the diary on those bar stools is where I learned to write.

After five months, I put the diary notes into a short story. I edited the material 25 times. It was 74 pages. I thought, maybe, I could get the story published.

I sent query letters to The New York Times, Playboy Magazine and Esquire. No response. The Orange County Register recommended I contact ON LIFE AND the Dana Point News, LOVE AFTER 50 the Register’s community

By Tom Blake paper.

After reading my material, the two women editors—Sherrie Good and Dixie Redfearn—agreed to a meeting at their office.

Sherrie and Dixie were right about the anticipated responses from women readers.

The first: “Who is this sniveling puke?”

The second: “He complains that younger women won’t go out with him. It’s a wonder any woman will go out with him.”

Welcome to the mid-life dating trenches, Tom. I wrote for the OC Register and many of its community papers for 17 years.

Seven years ago, I was blessed to join the team at Picket Fence Media—the publishers of the Dana Point Times, San Clemente Times and The Capistrano Dispatch.

I am very lucky to have this incredible opportunity to write for print newspapers.

I’m very fortunate to still have my articles printed by three vibrant newspapers, published by hard-working Americans.

And more importantly, it opened the door for me to meet Greta, a partner with whom I’ve shared so many incredible experiences in the 20 years we’ve been together, I don’t have time to write about them all.

Have things changed on the dating scene in 24 years? Not much. Except now, instead of focusing on dating after 50, it includes dating after 60, 70, 80, and even 90.

STORIES, SCORES, SCHEDULES AND MORE

Aiming for the Future Local hunters, fishermen demystify conservation, look forward by carrying on controversial tradition

BY DANIEL RITZ, DANA POINT TIMES

I

n the late 1800s, American wildlife was in dire straits. Market hunting, trapping, invasive species and America’s rapid expansion westward had pushed many wildlife species to their breaking points.

Over-hunting got the attention of soonto-be revered hunters George Bird Grinnell and Theodore Roosevelt, the founder of the National Audubon Society and the 26th President of the United States of America, respectively.

Grinnell and Roosevelt later assisted in establishing the American Conservation Movement around the idea that wildlife and other natural resources belong to all Americans—current and future.

Nationally, 74 percent of Americans believe the country should “do whatever it takes to protect the environment,” according to the Pew Research Center.

Unfortunately, today, in most cases except hunting and fishing, that is not translating into dollars. What is often seen as a black-and-white issue to many South County residents is in fact a far more complex, often considered ironic, issue.

A complicated connection South Orange County is full of hunters and fishermen actively engaged in the convoluted, and rapidly evolving conundrum of conservation’s economic distress.

Mark Erskine is a bow hunter and self-described conservationist residing in San Clemente. The 46-year-old describes himself as having always been an outdoor person, initially dedicated to fishing.

Erskine moved to Oregon from the East Coast in middle school. He said that his bow hunting experience actually amplified everything he already loved about nature.

“You have to get closer, be quieter, you have to be completely connected,” Erskine said. “You have to be part of their environment. You end up experiencing animals, including animals other than what you’re hunting, that you would not have noticed if you were not in that moment.

“I don’t take it lightly,” Erskine continued. “I don’t have a desire to hunt everything I can. I take it very seriously. I have a lot of respect for the animals. Unfortunately, there are a lot of television shows etc. in the public space that describe hunting as a Dana Point Times July 13-19, 2018

source of what we call the ‘thrill kill.’”

He said that as a bow hunter, he experiences a “take” as a “spiritual experience.”

“Every time I harvest an animal, I take a moment and reflect on its life, and its beauty,” Erskine said, visibly showing the experiences’ existential value. “It is a good thing to be able to share with people,” Erskine said. “To be able to tell the story of where the animal was taken, and how, to share its life and (explain) what exactly people are eating.”

“Me, I like to harvest things I can eat. I think it is a misnomer that you can simply hunt, because it is ‘the season.’ And that’s simply not the case.

“I have a tremendous amount of respect for the animal, and nature. As a youth, I would do stream rehabilitation in Oregon for steelhead and other native species.

Hunting and poaching are a different conversation. Here in the U.S. and Canada, the animals are everyone’s.”

Erskine mentioned that often, the conversation boils down to hunters being viewed as either avid “killers” or vegans.

“That’s a very disconnected relationship, in my opinion,” he said.

Not exclusive to terra firma Zach Augustine, 31, of Dana Point, mirrors Erskine’s opinion that many share a disconnected experience with the act of harvesting wildlife.

“When it boils down to it, it’s all about the experience,” Augustine said. “It isn’t always 100 percent fun when you take a big fish. It’s heavy.”

Most commonly fishing out of the Dana Point Harbor, Augustine voiced widely supported research sharing that commercial fishing is more detrimental to fish stock, and human health, than personal recreational participation.

For example, a study by the American Sportfishing Association revealed that the recreational sector added $152.24 in value, or GDP, for one pound of fish landed,

compared to the commercial sector’s $1.57 for a single pound of fish.

Fishbio.com states that Californians report for approximately 1.7 million of the United States’ recreational fishermen, the nation’s largest contributor despite being only 6 percent of the state’s population. There is reason to believe this is because of recent increases in fees and costs of licenses.

Economic groups with an annual household income ranging from $100,000– $149,000 make up the majority of this group.

This may add some weight to the argument that fishing is becoming cost-prohibitive for people in lower economic brackets.

Declining participation, declining income Income may not be the only demographic statistic relevant to this “conservation cash crisis.”

A new survey by the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife showed that today, only about 5 percent of Americans 16 years old and older, participate in hunting. That’s half of what it was 50 years ago and the decline is expected to accelerate over the next decade.

A large portion of this prediction revolves around a well-understood and forecasted “demographic wall” surrounding aging Baby Boomers phasing out of active hunting.

“We’re up against a demography wall,” said Keith Warnke, state hunting and shooting coordinator for the state of Wisconsin, per the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife website. “(There is) a wall of demographics when the number of hunters is really going to decline.”

Nearly a third of hunters in the United States are Baby Boomers.

“That means the way conservation was done in the past is not going to be sufficient in the future,” a representative from California Fish and Game stated.

The shift is welcomed by some who morally oppose the pastime, but surprising to some, it could also be leading to a crisis.

Where does the money go?

State wildlife agencies and the country’s

wildlife conservation system are heavily dependent on the sport for funding. Money generated from license fees and excise taxes on guns, ammunition and angling equipment provide about 60 percent of the funding for state wildlife agencies, which manage most of the wildlife in the United States.

This user-play, user-pay funding system for wildlife conservation. It has been incredibly successful at restoring the populations of North American game animals, some of which were once hunted nearly to extinction.

Funding for the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife operations comes from approximately 48 different sources, including 27 dedicated accounts within the Fish and Game Preservation Fund. About 16 percent of the department’s money comes from tax dollars in the state general fund and about 20 percent comes from hunting and fishing license fees.

The department has limited discretion in how it spends its money, with much of its operating revenues (around $400 million) designated for specific programs in the state budget. By law, hunting and fishing revenues must be spent on hunting and sport fishing programs, including fish hatcheries and stocking, habitat restoration, wildlife management and education programs. Other environmental revenues are directed toward conservation planning, environmental review and permitting and water resource management.

Additionally, the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act, or the Pittman-Robertson Act, as it’s more commonly known, requires that states use their revenues from hunting license fees for wildlife management.

Killing necessary to continue?

Those efforts run into a larger question: Is the greater public willing to pay more to protect wildlife?

Colorado’s wildlife agency has cut tens of millions of dollars in expenditures and trimmed programs that deal with invasive species. Vermont’s fish and wildlife department, which manages more than 25,000 species and nearly 2,000 native plants, is cautioning that even though the state leads the nation in wildlife viewing, that activity “provides no significant stream to the department that would allow for the management of the resources viewed.”

“Without a change in the way we finance fish and wildlife conservation, we can expect the list of federally threatened and endangered species to grow from nearly 1,600 species today to perhaps thousands more,” a panel on sustaining America’s fish and wildlife resources recently warned.

Often existing out of the public view, practicing outdoorsmen and women may in fact be essential in sustaining a wildliferich and diverse native environment to California and the United States as a whole. DP www.danapointtimes.com

Toledo Takes J-Bay, Again Filipe Toledo asserts himself at the world’s best right-hand pointbreak, comes away with back-to-back titles

N

ot to belabor the point, but it really is too bad the Hurley Pro won’t be coming to Lower Trestles this September.

San Clemente transplant Filipe Toledo just won the WSL Corona Open J-Bay in blistering fashion and now leads the world title race. It would have been fun to see what he could do with a little home-field advantage. Just the same, Toledo seems to possess that rare ability to surf lights-out no matter where in the world he is. Case in point, this was Toledo’s second win at the famed South African right point.

“Back-to-back wins is always something that I’ve dreamed of,” said Toledo from the winner’s podium. “It could not be more special here in J-Bay after last year, and this year we’ve had such good waves again. Thanks, God. Thanks, Jesus. Thank you to my family and everyone supporting me. I feel so blessed right now.”

En route to this first-place finish, Toledo was completely dominant. He posted five of the top 10 highest scoring rides in the contest and had five of the top 10 highest

unching on the tailgate of his truck, Dana Point Surf Club President Eric Diamond explained that one of his goals is to use the community’s entrenched surf scene to bring his hometown together.

“Micah Abadie exemplifies all that is great about our surf community,” Diamond said. “He’s a super-stoked surfer and a key, positive kid on the Dana Point club. He comes from a great family. He just got the Principal’s Award at Marco Forster Middle School. He got a 4.0 GPA all three years he was there. Good attitude, good grades and rips—he’s a

scoring heat totals throughout the event.

The win moves him to 7-0 when he’s in a WSL Championship Tour final.

“When it is finals day, it is just something that clicks,” Toledo said. “It is now or never, and I put it all on the line.

That is always my strategy, ‘Go big or go home.’ It is easy like that and I went big.

Finals is one of those heats where it is first or second, there are no losers, so I just go really big and put all my work on the wave. That is why I train. That is why

I’ve been really focused.”

That’s not to say it was all a walk in the park for Toledo. Meeting rookie Wade Carmichael in the final, he had his work cut out for him. The two met earlier in the year in the final of the Oi Rio Pro. “Repeating the final with Wade Carmichael, who has been really solid the whole event and surfing really well, it was a pleasure to surf against him. He took down some really big names,” Toledo said.

Carmichael took out Jordy Smith,

wonderful ambassador for Dana Point.”

Fourteen-year-old Micah will be heading off to Dana Hills High School at the end of summer, but for now you’ll find him chasing peaks at Salt Creek.

“My favorite thing about surfing is scoring fun waves with my friends and staying at the beach all day,” he said. “I feel cleansed and refreshed after a good session.”

With a firm grasp on his academic life and a passion for the sea, Micah’s soaking it all up. And as for future plans?

“I hope surfing will take me to new surf locations, including wave pools, with my friends and meet new people,” he said. “And a shout out to Dana Point Surf Club and Killer Dana for always stoking out the local groms—and to my friends who make the surf sessions fun no matter what.” DP

another San Clemente transplant, in the semifinals and Santa Barbara’s Conner Coffin in the quarterfinals. The result gives him a clear advantage over San Clemente’s Griffin Colapinto in the race for the 2018 Rookie of the Year award.

“I had no expectations coming into this year,” Carmichael said. “I am really happy.

I just want to keep improving my surfing.

I’m having that much fun, and I want to keep going. I am enjoying every minute of this. I want to thank everyone.”

As far as the race for the 2018 WSL World Title goes, Toledo finds himself in a commanding position with two event wins this season. He’s sitting out front of the pack by about 4,000 points at the moment.

Behind him is Australia’s Julian Wilson, who appears to be his biggest rival for the title. After that, Brazil’s Gabriel Medina and Italo Ferreira are in the mix, if they can get some momentum during the back half of the season. Medina is especially dangerous after the tour turns the corner.

With his third-place finish at J-Bay, Smith has cracked the top five.

As far as local talent goes, Colapinto made it to round four, but got tangled up with an interference call. He finished with a ninth-place result and sits at number 10 in the world. Kolohe Andino got tripped up in round three and Pat Gudauskas unfortunately bowed out in round two.

For the first time in 20 years, the women of the WSL Championship Tour also got a crack at J-Bay. As of press time, the early rounds of the contest had run but the event has since been put on hold due to lack of swell. When it does resume this week, Ventura’s Lakey Peterson will be looking to extend her ratings lead over seven-time world champion Stephanie Gilmore. Peterson is contending to be California’s first world tour champion since Tom Curren back in 1990. DP
