suggested revisions from the dais. Student mask requirements have become a contentious topic with parents, and whether children have to wear masks indoors on campus is set by California Department of Public Health guidelines. If approved, the proposal will be sent to state and local officials. “The overwhelming majority of the feedback I’ve received has been to make masks optional for students this fall,” said Davis, who was newly elected to the board in November. “Because we must adhere to state health standards, we are unable to create our own policy on this issue, but we hope to persuade CDPH to change their guidance based on the mountains of evidence now available that (needing) masks to ease the spread of COVID is no longer necessary.” Though mask requirements for fully vaccinated people and other pandemic restrictions have largely been lifted in California following record low infection rates and increasing numbers of vaccinations, masks are still currently required in K-12 schools. Masks and social distancing were also required for people attending the board meeting in person. Community members who spoke during the meeting had varied reactions to the resolution. Some, such as Dr. Susan Saucedo, opposed the request to make masks optional. “Science, expertise, and facts matter. This resolution, if passed, will compromise the credibility of this district,” Saucedo said. “CUSD is proposing to remove a public health recommendation. Will CUSD also spend time making future anti-public health resolutions to the CDC

and WHO?” Others, such as parent Clayton Riness, supported removing mask mandates. “We have 15 months of data. We know kids are not at risk,” Riness said. “The kids don’t want them. The parents don’t want them.” Revisions to the resolution suggested by Trustee Martha McNicholas included taking out language that refers to any sort of studies, adding in language that CDPH should provide timely guidelines, and emphasizing the request about mask requirements was being made on behalf of concerned parents. McNicholas also encouraged parents to contact CDPH. Trustee Amy Hanacek said she did not want to “slapdash” a request to CDPH and that information in the resolution should be factual. “This is not my wheelhouse. I am not a doctor,” Hanacek said. “For me, this is probably an exercise in futility. We need to do the right thing, stay focused, get the information we have from CDPH. I appreciate Trustee Davis wanting to advocate, but when we talk about efficacy, there’s no teeth to this. They’re not going to respond.” Trustees voted, 6-1, to bring back the revised item at the June 23 meeting. Trustees Gila Jones, Pamela Braunstein, Krista Castellanos, Judy Bullockus, McNicholas, and Hanacek voted yes. Davis voted no and wanted the resolution to be worked through at the June 16 meeting. “This is my first time writing a resolution,” Davis said. “I’ve been on the board for five months.”

Hostetter, 5 Others Indicted on Conspiracy Charge for Capitol Riot BY SHAWN RAYMUNDO, DANA POINT TIMES

Six men, including far-right activist and San Clemente resident Alan Hostetter, have been hit with a federal conspiracy charge and each faces a series of other offenses in connection to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. The 56-year-old Hostetter, a former La Habra police chief and yogi who last year led several anti-lockdown rallies in San Clemente through his group, the American Phoenix Project, was arrested June 10 on charges that include conspiracy, obstructing an official proceeding, and unlawful entry on a restricted building or grounds, according to the U.S. Justice Department. Russell Taylor, a close associate of Hostetter’s, along with Erik Scott Warner, Felipe Antonio Martinez, Derek Kinnison and Ronald Mele, also face multiple charges related to the Capitol insurrection. Taylor, 40, who was indicted on additional charges including obstructing law enforcement and unlawfully possessing a dangerous weapon on Capitol grounds, aided Hostetter in organizing Stop the Steal rallies, such as one outside the U.S. Supreme Court on Jan. 5. The indictments come months after Hostetter’s San Clemente apartment and Taylor’s Ladera Ranch home were raided by the FBI. Hostetter is already facing charges connected to his arrest at a protest he had organized last summer to remove fencing the city had placed around the Pier Bowl parking lot. Bilal Essayli, Hostetter’s attorney, said the federal charges and indictment brought against Hostetter were troubling, stating that his client didn’t enter “the Capitol building or engage in any acts of violence or had any weapons.” “He was there to protest and exercise his First Amendment right,” Essayli continued. “Today, he was charged with multiple felony counts, and I think it’s just very troubling, as an American citizen.” Taylor’s attorney, Dyke Huish, said last week he and his client will “challenge the charges where appropriate.” The 20-page grand jury indictment that was made public on June 10 alleges that the men, all from California, conspired “to obstruct, influence, and impede” the joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, when lawmakers were certifying the Electoral College votes. Following the Dec. 19 tweet from Dana Point Times June 18-24, 2021

former President Trump predicting that the protest of the election results in D.C. would “be wild,” Hostetter and the others began making plans to attend. “I will be there, bullhorns on fire, to let the swamp dwellers know we will not let them steal our country from us,” Hostetter wrote from his American Phoenix Project Instagram account the same day. “I hope you can join me!” Using social media and Telegram, an encrypted messaging app, the group of men—some of whom have self-identified as belonging to the Three Percenters anti-government militia group—coordinated travel plans to Washington, D.C., and promoted American Phoenix Project rallies. In the chat, which Taylor titled “The California Patriots-Answer the Call Jan 6,” the men also shared details about “gear” and weapons and firearms that they were planning to bring on their cross-country road trips, according to the indictment. Hostetter, in a text message to Taylor on Dec. 29, explained that he’d be departing for D.C. on Dec. 31, and asked to meet so “you can give me your backpack,” which was followed by three hatchet emojis, the indictment stated.

“Taylor responded, ‘Oh shiz. I need to pack that up. Alan, are you bringing firearms?’” the indictment continued to outline. “Hostetter texted back, ‘NO NEVER’ (Instagram now monitors all text messages), followed by three emojis of faces laughing with tears.” Taylor, the court filing stated, had also that same day posted to the California Patriots chat on Telegram to state: “I personally want to be on the front steps and be one of the first ones to breach the doors!” The night before the march on the Capitol, Taylor had posted a photo to a separate encrypted chat app, displaying gear he had laid out on a bed that included such things as a black plate-carrier vest, two hatchets, a stun baton, and a knife, among other things, according to the indictment. The court filing goes on to allege that on the day of the protest, Hostetter and Taylor, who reportedly was carrying a knife in his front chest pocket, were among a group of rioters who had pushed through a line of police officers on the Lower West Terrace of the Capitol, and had urged others to follow. “Taylor, followed closely by Hostetter, then pushed through the area that the Page 4

law enforcement officers had been blocking, moved up the stairs onto a structure erected for the Inauguration, and continued moving to the Upper West Terrace,” the indictment stated. Later that evening, the indictment added, Taylor sent out texts stating that he “stormed the capital (sic).” He also said in the text that he didn’t go inside the building, because he “had weapons.” “When asked by one of the individuals with whom he was texting what happens next, Taylor responded, ‘Insurrection!’” the indictment continued. FBI spokesperson Laura Eimiller said that Hostetter had his initial appearance in federal court in Orange County on June 10. Three of the others had court hearings in Riverside, and the fifth had a court hearing in Texas, she said. According to Essayli, the judge released Hostetter on a $20,000 signature bond with minimal conditions, such as surrendering his passport and abiding by all court orders. This past Monday, Hostetter appeared virtually in federal court to plead not guilty. During the arraignment, the judge ordered that Hostetter also surrender all of his firearms and barred him from traveling to Washington, D.C. danapointtimes.com

State Drops Restrictions on Face Masks, Social Distancing BY SHAWN RAYMUNDO AND LILLIAN BOYD , DANA POINT TIMES

n mid-March of 2020, a statewide order for Californians to stay at home was met with anxiety and angst. Coronavirus cases were on the rise, and to curb the spread, non-essential businesses were told to lock up and residents to limit trips outside the home. Since that time, California’s businesses and its roughly 40 million residents were faced with a continued sense of uncertainty, enduring pandemic-related restrictions that continued to evolve and shift based on COVID-19 metrics. Fifteen months later, those fears have turned into jubilation, as the state on Tuesday, June 15, lifted its restrictions, allowing businesses to operate at full capacity without social distancing requirements, and for fully vaccinated residents to ditch the face masks even indoors. The long-awaited reopening date came as the spread of transmission continues to fall and more Californians receive available vaccines. As of Tuesday, 55.6% of California’s population had been fully vaccinated, according to the state. Speaking from the entrance of Universal Studios Hollywood on Tuesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom declared,“We’re finally here.” He added, however, that the day shouldn’t be considered as “mission accomplished,” nor does it represent the state spiking the football. “It’s been a tough year for all of us, a tough 15 months for all of us, all the fear and anxiety that we’ve all had to work through—and I’m mindful of that stress still upon so many of you,” Newsom said. “I recognize the incredible burden that’s been placed on you over the last year, but I want folks to know that the state has your back as we come back.” Newsom boasted about the state’s metrics, noting that California has one of the highest vaccination rates in the nation and one of the lowest case rates. He attributed those accomplishments to the state’s observance of data and science, and “not ideology.” Though celebrating the efforts to lead in those categories, Newsom stressed that there’s still more work to do in getting residents to take the vaccine and to address the COVID variants. “We do need to keep our guard up; we can’t let our guard down,” he said, in front of a podium that said, “California Roars Back.” Vickie McMurchie, the executive director of the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce, says the community is elated to welcome loosened modifications and get back to Dana Point Times June 18-24, 2021

business as normal. She says the Chamber is encouraging each business owner to do what they and their staff feel most comfortable with and making sure that their expectations of patrons are clearly indicated before someone even walks in their doors, to ensure there’s no confusion. “We encourage the public to remember that everyone’s situations are different, and some businesses may still ask for patrons to wear masks or remain distanced—we should all do what we can to support these small businesses and ensure that they can keep their doors open in whatever way they feel is best for them and their staff, and keep their small business dreams alive and thriving,” McMurchie said. The No. 1 question the Chamber is facing from most of the Dana Point business sectors is how to attract more applicants and staff up for the reopening. “Our restaurants, retailers and tourism industry are experiencing a strong bounce back, but the inability to be fully staffed is making this re-entry to ‘normal’ very challenging,” McMurchie said. On June 11, California’s Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board (Standards Board) published its latest set of proposed revisions to the Division of Occupational Safety and Health’s (Cal/ OSHA) COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standards (Revised ETS). The Standards Board will vote on the Revised ETS at its June 17 Standards Board meeting. The proposed regulation will then be submitted to the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) for approval. Once approved, the Revised ETS will take effect for California employers no later than June 28. “The last-minute CalOSHA changes to modifications have made things a bit challenging as far as employers providing info to their staffs about having to be masked,” McMurchie added. “I do think everyone is beyond ready to show their faces, but admittedly, it does take some getting used to after the last 16 months we just had.” Newsom on Monday, June 14, said the state will be consistent with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, allowing fully vaccinated staff to work without masks. “Our small businesses have faced unprecedented challenges over the past year. They supported us throughout the pandemic, and now it’s our turn to support them,” McMurchie said. “Let’s celebrate our state’s reopening with a visit to your favorite Dana Point business and enjoy some maskless smiles and maybe even a hug of gratitude.” DP Page 5

Letters to the Editor LICENSES FOR E-BIKES JENIFER MASSEY, San Clemente Sunday, May 23, at 5 p.m., I was walking at the pier on the Beach Trail. One second before I planned to make a step to the right to go over the railroad tracks to get a cone at the ice cream shop on Avenida Victoria, a grown man flew by me on his e-bike. He had obviously come from the south on the Beach Trail ignoring signs saying “Walk Bikes.” The one-second difference saved me from going to the hospital or the morgue. I walk on the Beach Trail often, and the behavior of many bike riders is rude and dangerous. I, therefore, propose licensing requirements for e-bike riders and license plates so infringements can be reprimanded and safe bike ridership can make the Beach Trail a safe, pleasurable facility.

Amid the rise in popularity of electric bicycles and increased calls for public outreach and education, San Clemente officials have been working toward promoting bike safety. Photo: Shawn Raymundo

Pilgrim in 2020, I was stunned that the Institute’s remaining tall ship was also in disrepair. According to the June 10, 2021 OC Register, repairs for the Spirit are needed by the end of June 2021. These include a new deck and restored mast. The OI should have solicited funds well before now, and ideally should have been maintaining the Spirit throughout with previously allocated funds. The stewardship of the Spirit and the OI funds need oversight and should be under different management. Why can’t the OI keep their tall ships afloat? Their reputation shows lack of expertise and concern for the ship’s legacy to Dana Point, and connection to its residents. The sinking of the Pilgrim was an egregious event. With all the expertise

in the harbor and the OI’s knowledge of her condition, it is unfathomable that this could happen. We are now left with bones of the Pilgrim, scattered around the Institute like a disturbed graveyard. With all the wealth in the Dana Point, why can’t the OI fundraise better and manage their money? Where are they spending their money? The Ocean Institute’s CEO and President, Wendy Marshall, and Board Chairman Vipe Desai should be held accountable for the mismanagement of the boats and funds to keep them afloat. Both were operating the OI during the sinking of the Pilgrim and current disrepair of the Spirit. When the infrastructure of an Institute disintegrates, it is time to find new leadership.

Just days after announcing a need for support to accelerate restoration of the Spirit of Dana Point, Ocean Institute passed the halfway point in garnering support from the community. Photo: Courtesy of OI

Less-Popular Summer Movies BY MEGAN BIANCO

or those of us movie fans still waiting for all our most-anticipated blockbusters to hit theaters again, there are still at-home options, as always. Let’s take a look at some lesser-known flicks to fit the sunny mood. David Wain’s summer camp-set cult flick Wet Hot American Summer (2001) has grown to be a staple for some comedy fans’ vacations, but those who might not be into the stark, slightly mean-spirited tone of the farce, there’s a more wholesome and relatable piece in Greg Mottola’s Adventure-

Billy Wilder’s classic midlife-crisis comedy The Seven Year Itch (1955) is most famous for its sequence with Marilyn Monroe standing above a breezy subway gate, but the movie also takes place during summer.

Third Opening for Glasspar, After Year of COVID-Related Hurdles BY LILLIAN BOYD, DANA POINT TIMES

lasspar held a ribbon-cutting event on Wednesday, June 16, in celebration of the seafood restaurant’s third reopening—an occasion in which Chef Rob Wilson hopes the third time is the charm. After first opening in December 2019, Glasspar had only a few months of operation before the impacts of COVID-19 would force closures. But within that time frame, Wilson made an impression on the community. “I opened Glasspar with the purpose of bringing a classic American seafood hall to Dana Point,” Wilson said. “The restaurant focuses on thoughtfully sourced, respectfully prepared, and creatively presented ingredients.” After Gov. Gavin Newsom issued executive orders to put a halt to dine-in options at restaurants in March 2020, Wilson modified his restaurant model to provide a seafood market out of his restaurant. The restaurant, which initially ceased operations altogether after the state-mandated dine-in closure, reopened later that month, turning its raw bar into a fresh seafood market. Wilson says Glasspar prides itself on responsibly and locally sourced seafood, including lobster and halibut caught along Orange County’s coastline, and swordfish from the Avalon Trench off the coast of Catalina. Standout dishes on Glasspar’s menu include Baja White prawns over housemade pappardelle, local line-caught swordfish, and Peruvian bay scallop ceviche.

“I’ve always been tied to the coast, and Dana Point is especially close to my heart,” Wilson has previously said, noting that his 35-year career working for premier resorts has taken him all across the California

coastline. “Dana Point is not only where I spent much of my childhood; it’s where I held my first restaurant job. Glasspar allows me to cook from my heart in the community where my journey began.”

Markow, Sweeney Win Individual Titles at CIF-SS Track and Field Finals

It was the final day of competition by any Dana Hills athletes in any sport in this long and strange 2020-21 school year, and the Dolphins made the most of it on Saturday, June 12. Dana Hills had five top-three finishers, including individual championships by sophomore Allura Markow in the girls 3,200 meters and senior Jonathan Sweeney in the boys pole vault, during the CIF-SS Division 2 track and field finals at Moorpark High School. Markow won the girls 3,200 meters in a time of 11 minutes, 6.57 seconds, which was her second-fastest time this season. (She ran a time of 11:00.86 at the Arcadia Invitational on May 8.) Markow beat the field on Saturday by five seconds. The sophomore had also qualified for the girls 1,600 meters in the preliminaries on June 5, but she did not run in the race in the finals. This season, Markow finished third at the Orange County Championships at 11:12.66 and was second at the South Coast League Finals at 11:18.21. Sweeney won the boys pole vault with a personal-record clearance of 14 feet, 8 inches. It was a tight win for Sweeney, who won on total jump attempts. Sweeney cleared 14 feet, 8 inches on his third attempt, as did Gavin Hanes of Ramona. Both Sweeney and Hanes also both cleared 14 feet, 2 inches and 13 feet, 8 inches in their first attempts. However, Sweeney started his day at the 13 feet, 8 inches height, and Hanes had to start at 13 feet, 2 inches. Hanes’ two extra attempts at that height put the competition into Sweeney’s favor. Sweeney won seven of the nine pole vault events he competed in this season, including his last six in a row. Sweeney was the Orange County champion at 14 feet even on May 15 and the South Coast League champion at 14 feet, 6 inches on May 28. Junior Jai Dawson finished second in the boys 1,600 meters with a personal-record time of 4:09.26, less than a second behind the CIF-SS champion, Angus Fitzgerald of Royal, who won at 4:08.38. Dawson won the South Coast League in the 1,600 meters at 4:16.87, won the 3,200 meters at 9:20.01 and won the 800 meDana Point Times June 18-24, 2021

Dana Hills senior Jason Bannister shot a 4-over-par 76 to finish tied for 52nd out of 123 golfers in the CIF/SCGA SoCal Regional Golf Championships on Tuesday, June 15, at Brookside Golf Course in Pasadena. You Seong Choi of Anaheim Discovery Christian won the event with a 7-under-par 65. Kyle An of Aliso Niguel finished third with a 4-under-par 68. Bannister qualified for the event by shooting an even-par 72 to tie for fifth place at the CIF-SS Individual Championships on Thursday, June 10, at River Ridge Golf Club in Oxnard. Dana Hills teammate Nick Fry tied for 50th with a score of 82.

Dawson also qualified in the 3,200 meters in the preliminaries, but he did not run the event in the finals. Junior Tatum Hoff finished third in the girls 100-meter hurdles with a personal-record, wind-aided time of 15.50 seconds. Ayahna Bahati of Culver City won the event at 15.15 seconds. Hoff was the South Coast League champion in the

event on May 28 at 16.03 seconds and third at the Orange County Championships at 16.24 seconds. Senior Avery Karner finished third in the girls pole vault with a clearance of 11 feet, 2 inches. Gabrielle Pack of Peninsula won the event at 13 feet, 6 inches.

In the week of his baseball life, Dana Hills alumnus Luke Williams helped the Team USA baseball team qualify for the Olympics, got called up to the majors by the Phillies, got a hit in his first bigleague at-bat on June 8 and then hit a walk-off home run in his first start on June 9. The highlights continued when Williams returned to Southern California for the Phillies’ three-game series at Dodger Stadium, from June 14-16. To celebrate the homecoming, Williams played in all three games against the Dodgers, including starts at shortstop and third base in the final two games. He contributed a pinch-hit single in a 3-1 loss in the series opener, went 1 for 4 and scored a run in a 5-3 loss in the second game, and had memorable performance in the series finale, going 3 for 4 at the plate with two doubles in the Phillies’ 2-0 win. In his first eight major-league games, Williams was 9 for 19 at the plate for a .474 average, with three runs, two RBI, three doubles and a home run. Williams and the Phillies remain in California for their next three games against the Giants in San Francisco from Friday, June 18, to Sunday, June 20, before returning to Philadelphia.

History of Women’s Surfing Set Straight New Book Dives Deep into SeldomDocumented History BY JAKE HOWARD, DANA POINT TIMES

Currently rated No. 1 on the Championship Tour, four-time world champ Carissa Moore is no stranger to making history, as she now looks to become the first woman to win an Olympic gold medal for surfing. Photo: Courtesy of Matt Dunbar/WSL

n March of 1975, the first women’s “Expression Session” was held at Rocky Point on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. The humble beginnings of the modern pro movement, the event wasn’t like a normal surf contest. There were no judges, and photographers were invited to come and document the action in hopes of garnering exposure for these pioneering women. But, true to the nature of surfing at the time, when the day of the event came, hardly any of the photographers showed up—thus missing the opportunity to document an important moment in the evolution of the sport. Entrant Patti Paniccia—one of the key players in launching a professional tour for women—recalls being told by a photographer that “the magazines won’t buy photos of women, so we can’t afford to spend time and film money shooting you.”

The Honolulu Star-Bulletin ran an article about the Expression Session that included a photo, the caption of which read: “Girls like Patti Paniccia and Sally Prange … are seeking to change the image that women surfers are curiosities … endowed with too many male hormones.” But, wait, it gets worse—much worse. “The only sponsor that reached out to me was a company called CandyPants. They made edible underwear. I think they were cinnamon-flavored. CandyPants wanted the women to show up wearing CandyPants as part of a Waikiki sidewalk display,” Paniccia explained. “And I kept wondering what they expected us to say on that sidewalk.” The above is just one small instance of the challenges that women have faced over the generations, and while the World Surf League’s Championship Tour now

offers equal prize money for men and women, it took a long time to get there. A new book, Women on Waves, by local writer and former Dana Point Times contributor Jim Kempton, seeks to answer some of these questions. Detailing the trials and tribulations of women in water going way back to pre-contact Polynesia, the book starts in 17th century Hawaii with the story of a princess who was the owner of the oldest surfboard known to be in existence today. “The challenge with surf history is that it’s usually told through the male’s perspective, since those were the ones running the media outlets and brands, so a lot of this information wasn’t out there and had to be dug up,” Kempton said. Pulling from more than 800 interviews, most of which were conducted during the pandemic, Kempton has exhaus-

tively researched his subject and sheds new and important light on the plight of women in some of the world’s most competitive lineups. From today’s modern world champions, to unlikely early innovators such as famed early 20th century mystery writer Agatha Christie, to Marilyn Monroe, who was somewhat of a regular at Malibu for a period, to local heroes including Capo Beach icon Joyce Hoffman, this is a story that’s never been fully told from beginning to end. “From magazine articles to photos, women simply weren’t portrayed the same way as men in the surf media, and while that’s been changing in recent years, it’s critical that we know where we’ve been so we can better appreciate and understand where we’re going,” Kempton said. Women on Waves, published by Simon & Schuster, is currently available for pre-order and goes on sale July 6. “There’s a lot in there, and like any history, people will get out of it what they want,” Kempton said.“But like I said, it’s an important story that has never been fully told, and there couldn’t be a better time than right now to share with the world all the amazing accomplishments from these incredibly brave, strong women.” Jake Howard is local surfer and freelance writer who lives in San Clemente. A former editor at Surfer Magazine, The Surfer’s Journal and ESPN, today he writes for a number of publications, including Picket Fence Media, Surfline and the World Surf League. He also works with philanthropic organizations such as the Surfing Heritage and Culture Center and the Positive Vibe Warriors Foundation. DP

Water Temperature: 64-67 Degrees F Water Visibility and Conditions: 6-8

BY JAKE HOWARD, DANA POINT TIMES

s we dive deeper into summer, things are starting to seriously heat up among the NSSA ranks. Last weekend, the Southwest Division landed in Huntington Beach, where the winner of the Open Super Girls division was San Clemente’s Avery McDonald. Edging out her friend and fellow local rising star Mia McLeish, it was Avery’s first Southwest Open win of the season. “I knew I had to catch the right waves with an actual clean face, because conditions were so windy,” McDonald told the NSSA after the victory. She added, “Wave selection was the key, so I could push my turns harder to get the bigger scores.” An ideal warmup for the upcoming USA Surfing Championships at Lower Dana Point Times June 18-24, 2021

Trestles, McDonald has been selected to compete in both the Under-14 and Under-16 divisions. The event runs from June 21-25 and is well stocked with local talent, as well as some of the best up-and-coming surfers from around the country. And in case you were wondering if these groms are going to score some surf?

Yes, they most certainly are. According to Surfline, there’s a consistent run of south swell on tap that should keep the waves in the 4- to 6-foot range for the duration of the event. If you have a candidate for Grom of the Week, we want to know. Send an email to jakehoward1@gmail.com. DP

Page 14

Outlook: For Friday, the South/ southwest and Northwest swell mix tapers off, for waist-chest high surf, (3-4’). There will be a light+ sea breeze most of the day Friday. More South/southwest swell fills in over the weekend. Saturday sees waist to shoulder high waves, (3-4’+), then surf builds into the shoulder high to a foot overhead range, (4-6’) on Sunday. Winds stay light Saturday through Sunday morning, then light+ to moderate onshores develop for Sunday afternoon.
