What’s Up With... TOP NEWS SAN CLEMENTE SHOULD KNOW THIS WEEK
OCSD to Fully Implement Body-Cam System by Summer’s End BY BREEANA GREENBERG
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department is expected to fully roll out its bodyworn camera system by July, according to OCSD Director of Public Affairs and Community Engagement Carrie Braun. Dana Point Police Services, the last patrol station to get its body-worn cameras online, launched its system on May 31 following a weekslong implementation delay. The postponement, Dana Point Police Chief Lt. Kirsten Monteleone explained, was the result of connectivity issues. The rollout consists of “over 1,000 body-worn cameras throughout (OCSD’s) 13 contract cities, unincorporated areas, Transit Police Services, Harbor Patrol, and John Wayne Airport Police Services,” Braun said in an email. The cameras’ purpose—part of a $12.7 million contract that the Orange County Board of Supervisors approved in July 2021—is to capture all interactions between OCSD department members and the public, as well as interviews with suspects and victims. “It is mostly for evidentiary reasons. It’s to capture everything that we see and things that we don’t see as well,” Monteleone said. “This is a fantastic tool, in my
opinion. It’s also to promote accountability with the public. If you know that you’re being recorded, it’s not a bad thing.” The cameras will be on “any time there is public contact, regardless,” Monteleone said. “If (deputies are) on a call, if they do anything proactive, they do a car stop, it’s always on,” she said. “The only time it isn’t on is when they’re just by themselves, not on a call for service or doing any enforcement.” OCSD personnel are expected to activate their body-worn cameras “prior to arriving at a call or initiating enforcement action and shall terminate once the Member has cleared their self from the call or the contact and/or the incident has concluded,” according to OCSD’s Policy 447 on Body-Worn Camera and In-Car Video Systems. When cameras are turned off at the conclusion of an incident, personnel are expected to “verbally note the date, time and reason for the deactivation on the recording itself.” Additionally, according to the policy, personnel are not to turn off their cameras if a citizen requests that they do so unless the circumstances require an exception, such as victim confidentiality and confidential informant or citizen informant safety. “There (are) some guidelines in regards to confidentiality,” Monteleone said. “It’s going to be a case-by-case situation.” Footage recorded by body-worn cameras will be stored for a minimum of two years. The public may request access to

body-worn camera footage through a public records act submission and may visit the OCSD website for information on records requests. San Clemente Police Service’s body-worn camera system was implemented in October 2021 as part of a phased deployment of the program across OCSD’s divisions. The cameras have “been effective in assisting our deputies to accurately capture interactions with the public to promote accountability and enhance public trust,” Braun said. Braun added that the cameras have been a useful tool to support deputies writing reports and providing testimony. “The cameras also go beyond these purposes to enhance public trust by promoting accountability during police-public interactions,” Braun said.“In some cases, body camera videos may also provide a positive training opportunity to continuously improve the skills of deputies.”
However, Braun noted that the cameras should be considered as only one of many sources of data on an incident. “While they are a beneficial tool, the cameras provide only a limited view of any incident or encounter,” Braun said. “The videos should be considered as another point of reference alongside witness and victim statements, interviews, forensics, and any other applicable evidence or documentation.” Monteleone said she is optimistic that the body-worn cameras will be a helpful tool for her deputies. “I think, going down the road when we’re prosecuting these crimes—the camera doesn’t lie. I think that it’s really going to be a helpful tool down the road,” Monteleone said.“Once we start using it more, like I said—it’s only been a couple weeks—but it’s going to be invaluable, and I think it’s going to actually help some of our crimes down the road get solved.”
Exchange Club Honors Lifeguards of the Year for 2020, 2021 BY C. JAYDEN SMITH
The Exchange Club of San Clemente last month recognized two of the city’s lifeguards, Raselle Chetwynd and Jaden Blanc-Hall, for their service to the community, naming each of them as Lifeguard of the Year for 2020 and 2021, respectively. Chetwynd, who first joined the City of San Clemente’s Marine Safety team in 2014 alongside Blanc-Hall, became the first woman to receive the peer-nominated honor in the award’s 42-year existence. Over the years, the two have climbed the ranks to become ocean lifeguard supervisors. Members of the Exchange Club on May 19 gathered with city officials, dignitaries and the honorees’ fellow lifeguards at the San Clemente Community Center

for the annual awards ceremony, which marked a return to normal traditions after a pandemic-induced hiatus. Both honorees were presented with a new custom Terry Senate surfboard inscribed with their name, a plaque by the San Clemente Exchange Club, and a custom piece of art painted by local artist Kelan O’Brien. Mayor Gene James presented Chetwynd and Blanc-Hall with mayoral challenge coins and gave a speech in recognition of their achievements. Marine Safety Capt. Rod Mellot spoke about the two honorees, sharing that they are exemplary members of the Marine Safety Division and contribute valuable skills to the team. sanclementetimes.com

Council Approves Water Conservation Measures
limiting the time residents could water their yards, from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m., and would prohibit watering within 48 hours of measurable rain. If passed, it would also require home and property owners to repair water leaks within five calendar days, regardless of shortage conditions, and bar watering on turf on medians with potable water, among other changes. “(The changes) do mostly revolve around those permanent water waste restrictions that are valid year-round regardless of shortage level,” Beach said during her presentation to the council. “Some of them are just to be more consistent with other local water agencies.” Adjusting the time frame for repairing leaks was meant to help water customers, as they previously had only 72 hours to do repairs. According to the staff report, the city expects these actions, including a public information campaign, to contribute in various ways to reducing the water shortage. The rate modifications, which could do the most to reduce the short-
age, are intended to offset revenue and incentivize conservation. Those at even-numbered residential addresses must irrigate on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from March through November and on Mondays in the winter. For those residing on odd-number addresses, they must irrigate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and Saturdays in the winter. As for commercial and irrigation accounts, they’ll irrigate on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, and on Thursdays in the winter. “Our customers may remember these days from the last drought when we last were in the Level 2 Water Alert,” said Beach. “We kept them the same to keep it consistent for our customers and also because they did such a great job during the last drought, helping us cut back by really honing in on their irrigation and using an appropriate amount of water throughout the week.” When asked by Mayor Gene James to clarify the number of days San Clemente would have enough water to survive in
case the city was cut off because of a natural disaster or similar event, Dave Rebensdorf, utilities director, answered with roughly 23 at the current rate of consumption. “If our customers are reducing their water rate use, then that’s extended out, but in the summertime our customers are going to be using more water than they would under just an average scenario,” said Rebensdorf. Customers are advised to limit landscape irrigation however possible, but Beach also confirmed that the Municipal Water District of Orange County’s turf removal program is ongoing. Regarding water options, Rebensdorf said the city has an “aggressive program,” given that more than 50% of customer demand on irrigation comes from recycled water, and that the utilities department is looking to expand. An additional 10% of customers could be converted to recycled water soon. City staff will also research the possibility of joining the South Coast Water District in developing a desalination plant near Doheny State Beach through a feasibility study and other methods. Positives the Doheny plant would potentially present in comparison to the Carlsbad Desalination Plant, according to Rebensdorf, include a more environmental process and lower cost of water. The city’s efforts to reduce water usage will not apply to non-customers, however. “The customers that live within South Coast Water District and Santa Margarita Water District service areas, they will follow whatever requirements are in level to those water districts,” said Rebensdorf. City Manager Erik Sund said the city will soon include flyers in water bills going forward to notify customers of the changes. The ordinance will next move to a second reading for formal adoption, likely to occur at the council’s June 21 meeting.
Voters to Decide Whether City Clerk, Treasurer Should be Elected or Council-Appointed
operating under the city manager’s authority posed a potential conflict of interest. According to the city’s organizational chart, the city clerk, currently an elected position, works under the city manager. Knoblock claimed that position structure was “an inherent conflict,” and questioned whether it promoted loyalty to the citizens or “the man who pays the paycheck.” “I agendized that issue; the mayor suggested that he could support talking about that issue if we also talked about the possibility of potentially having an election to decide what we’re going to do,” said Knoblock, who added that he felt blindsided by the ballot measure proposals before the council. Regarding the ballot measures, Ward cited concerns over possibly removing
the voters’ ability to choose the city clerk and treasurer positions, as well as removing the clerk’s office from underneath the city manager’s control. She also pointed to San Clemente using the city manager model since its founding in 1928 as a sign of the model’s efficacy. “How can we get a good city clerk if … the people vote for it to come to us?” asked Ward. “If we separate the position … and take it out of (the city manager model), our city clerk would only be making, I think it’s $500 a month.” After receiving confirmation on the pay from City Clerk Joanne Baade, Ward referenced conversations she had with other city clerks who gave the consensus opinion that the city would not find a (Cont. on page 5)

In accordance with local and statewide entities acting to combat a drought emergency, San Clemente City Council last week introduced an update to the city’s Water Conservation Ordinance (WCO) and adopted a resolution declaring a Water Shortage Level 2 Water Alert. With the unanimous vote at the June 7 meeting, councilmembers also directed staff to expand the city’s public information campaign, implement surcharges on potable water, limit landscape irrigation around the city, and increase water waste patrols. Under these new measures, San Clemente’s water customers can expect to see a monthly increase of about $4 to their bills, accounting for an additional variable rate surcharge of $0.30 per cubic centric foot and a fixed rate surcharge of $0.74 per meter equivalent. The ordinance, which looks to repeal and replace the current WCO, is intended to achieve consistency with the 2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan the council adopted in June 2021, and to include additional permanent water waste restrictions adopted in January by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), according to Water Conservation analyst Niki Beach. Following Gov. Gavin Newsom’s statewide drought emergency declaration last October, and the SWRCB adopting emergency conservation regulations on May 24, San Clemente was required to implement demand-reduction actions. However, the city’s report did not identify a potential water shortage in Fiscal Year 2022-2023. The potential changes to the WCO would shorten the irrigation period,

San Clemente residents voting in the General Election this November will notice two ballot measures for which they will choose how candidates can assume the offices of City Clerk and City Treasurer. The City Council voted, 3-1, on June 7 to add the measures that will ask whether the positions should be appointed by the council or elected by the public. Additionally, Mayor Pro Tem Chris Duncan and Councilmember Kathy Ward will form a new subcommittee tasked with drafting arguments in favor of the council appointing the positions. San Clemente Times June 16-22, 2022
Councilmember Laura Ferguson was absent from the meeting. The vote comes months after the council initially opted not to add the ballot measures to the upcoming election, and follows the early-May meeting in which the council formally called for the General Municipal Election in November. Councilmember Steve Knoblock, the lone vote against the resolutions that established the ballot measures, had asked the rest of the council late last month to take up a discussion regarding a concern of his—whether the position of the city clerk Page 4

Annual Ohana Festival Announces Lineup for 2022 Encore Weekend
Local Republican Women’s Group Raises Money, Donates Goods to Expectant Mothers BY HAYZE LAW
The San Clemente Area Republican Women (SCARW) last month provided support to expectant mothers by raising money and donating goods to the Pregnancy Resource Center, as well as holding its annual Operation Baby Shower. During the Baby Shower at Camp Pendleton on May 26, SCARW presented more than $3,000 worth of club-donated items to expectant mothers, who each received layettes that included crib blankets, baby wash, baby lotion, baby wipes, hooded towels, onesies, toys and bottles, among other items. The annual party is for expectant mothers and offers a meal, mixer games and several prize items. Traditionally, the event hosts up to 25 expectant mothers, and this year, spouses and other children joined as well. “The mixer games enabled mothers to interact with each other and make new friends,” said Publicity Chairperson Sue Pieczentkowski. Winners of the games received special prizes. They also received door prizes, such as a box of diapers or specialty items, and small “mommy bags” with personal goods. The donations came from SCARW members and friends of the club, including Bible study groups, and a class of first-graders whose teacher allowed the students to bring items as part of a community service project. “Operation Baby Shower was the perfect opportunity to thank our military personally for their invaluable service to our country,” said Pieczentkowski.
(Cont. from page 4) good candidate to fill the position, especially given the litany of duties the clerk performs. Ward expressed concerns for the future of the clerk’s office, although she, Duncan, and Baade acknowledged that the council was only deciding whether to add on the measures. Knoblock asserted his position that no elected official should be employed by the city manager. Mayor Gene James said that the city has been fortunate to have someone like Baade as the city clerk, and that residents have recognized Baade’s proficiency by electing her for years. However, James said he agreed with Knoblock in that it was awkward having an elected official reporting to the city manager. “I don’t think in the current scenario, it’s a problem,” he clarified. “But, it’s a San Clemente Times June 16-22, 2022

As part of its Community Outreach Program, the club last month also supported the Pregnancy Resource Center by donating layettes. Club members also helped raise $855 for the center by participating in the annual Walk for Life in Dana Point, which the center sponsored. Three club members visited the Pregnancy Resource Center on May 31 to deliver the four layettes containing numerous baby items, as well as three boxes of cloth-like baby wipes and a twin-size comforter set.
As popularity grows for the Ohana Festival, the annual weekend event at Doheny State Park this September is set to return a second set of performances known as Ohana Encore. Eddie Vedder, the festival’s founder and lead singer of Pearl Jam, will return once again to headline, along with music icons The Black Keys, Alanis Morissette, The Roots and Haim. The encore weekend will take place on Oct. 8-9, at the state park following the initial festivities slated for Sept. 30 through Oct 2, which already include a star-studded set. After last year’s festival, Variety wrote, “Not only did Ohana roar back to life with two headlining sets by Vedder and another by Pearl Jam, it actually grew into a second ‘encore’ weekend headlined by Pearl Jam, setting the stage for further expansion in the future.” Vedder and Morissette will kick off the first night, along with The Roots, Julieta Venegas, The Front Bottoms, Amos Lee and Marcus King, among others. On the second night, the lineup will include Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Afghan Whigs, Amyl and The Sniffers, Iceage and others ahead of the headlining acts Haim and The Black Keys. “Beyond Ohana continuing its expansion, it is defining its future with its diverse and inclusive lineups,” an Ohana Festival statement said. A portion of the proceeds will go toward the San Onofre Parks Foundation
and the Doheny State Beach Foundation, among other charities. Pre-sale tickets for Ohana Encore will be available at 10 a.m. on Thursday, June 16. All remaining tickets will be available to the general public the following day. Included in ticketing options are single-day general admission, single-day VIP, weekend general admission, weekend VIP and ultimate VIP. Weekend admission passes start at $280, while single-day passes start at $159. Ticketing and other information can be found at ohanafest.com.
problem of perception.” James added that the city clerk position has much more power than councilmembers, which could spell trouble if the wrong person got elected. He said it was right to give the decision of authority to the people, and initially made the motion to approve adding the measures, with Ward seconding it. Knoblock jumped in to ask Ward whether a conflict of interest would exist if the city manager hired an active councilmember, such as he or Duncan, to be a legislative consultant, to which she responded that such an occurrence had never been an issue. Ward then wanted to ask Baade whether a city manager had ever tried to influence her, and described Knoblock as “looking for a solution in search of a problem.” Duncan said Knoblock had raised a fair point, although he was in favor of
the council appointing the positions going forward. “If that’s not what the voters want, then I think we’ve got to go back and look at what Steve’s talking about, and if you’re elected, you can’t also be working for the city,” said Duncan. Knoblock asked if it would be appropriate for them to adopt a policy stipulating that no elected official should work under the city manager, council, or any other official. “I think that throws the baby out with the bathwater right now, because I don’t think we have a good plan going forward,” James responded. “I totally understand what you’re saying, but … I would rather hold off and see what those voters say in November.” To the motion, Knoblock voted no, because he held that complete independence for the clerk and treasurer positions meant being elected and
operating away from the city’s purview, although James and Ward said the ballot measures were the first step in getting what Knoblock wanted. Regarding the direct arguments, the subcommittee of Duncan and Ward would write it on behalf of the council before it goes to print in a voter information guide. The council also voted to include an impartial analysis, written by City Attorney Scott Smith, and to allow for rebuttals to be submitted and printed. Baade said she will post a notice inviting arguments from the public, translated into Spanish as well as English, by late next week or early on during the week of June 20. Citizens will be able to find the process to file an argument by visiting the city’s website and the links to election information, by viewing the city’s bulletin board, or by calling the city clerk’s office at 949.361.8200.

MEMORIAL DAY MAUREEN SHEA, San Clemente I attended San Clemente’s 2022 Memorial Day Observance. Keene Sherburne’s keynote was incredibly moving. Todd Spitzer shared a few words. Tim Brown, Master of Ceremonies, presented a gift from the City of San Clemente. I found it curious Tim did not audibly mention what the “gift” was. Then he gave a similar gift to Gene James, saying something to the effect of “Gene, you need an ammo box, too.” An ammunition box was the City of San Clemente’s gift to Todd and Gene, the same week of the senseless shooting in Uvalde. Stop and let that sink in.

Probably no one was happier than I when the City Council finally voted to ban e-bikes from the Beach Trail. For the first couple of weeks, those signs at the beginning of every trailhead warning of $100 fines if caught on the trail with an e-bike seemed to be working. But, with no enforcement to be found anywhere, the word has apparently gotten out to the scofflaws. I was out of town for about a month, and when I returned to the Beach Trail, I’ve seen e-bikes, and no one is stopping them. Just last week, there was an older man and a younger guy riding e-bikes on the trail, but under pedal power. I thought no e-bikes meant no e-bikes, period. Then a couple of days later, a younger man on the trail near North Beach was going full motor power. But it gets better. The same day on the Mariposa footbridge, I heard a speeding e-bike coming up behind me and stepped out of the way, as did two women walking on the opposite side of the bridge. Screaming past us was a purple-haired young woman not even attempting to slow down. And bikes are supposed to be walked on the bridge. With no enforcement, school is out, and this is just the beginning of summer, so it is just going to get worse. What good is putting a law in place if

THURSDAY | 16 VICTORIA BAILEY AT CASA ROMANTICA 7 p.m. Victoria Bailey, aka the Honky Tonk Woman, is a Huntington Beach-based country music artist. The classic country singer-songwriter was surrounded by music in her household from an early age. From her drumming father’s rock ‘n’ roll band practices to her mom playing the narrative-driven songbooks of folk icons such as Cat Stevens and James Taylor, Bailey was naturally drawn to music and the art of storytelling. It was the at-first daunting yet exhilarating aspect of performing live that made Bailey realize this was life’s path for her. She found a sense of community very early on by playing honky tonks and bars that allowed the opportunity to cut her teeth on the craft of traditional country music. This live concert takes place outdoors at Casa Romantica’s Ocean Terrace. Admission is $12.

GUEST OPINION | Life’s a Beach by Shelley Murphy
JUNE DELIVERS CHANGE TO PARENTS J une is an underrated month. January gets all the glory. As a parent, I maintain June is a much more pivotal month than January. January is advertised as the season of new beginnings. Yet, most changes such as adopting a holistic diet, exercise regimen or financial plan are short-lived. June, however, is the month of life-changing metamorphosis, including momentous graduations, weddings and childbirths. This month, I celebrated both a graduation commencement and a baby shower. Reflecting upon the fork-in-the-road milestones, I realized that while they are divergent, they share some similarities. Each marks an ending and beginning; elicits trepidation and excitement; and LIFE’S A BEACH prompts cheerful and BY SHELLEY MURPHY tearful responses. It had been years since I participated in the time-honored tradition of showering soon-to-be parents with congratulatory gifts they’ll need to navigate their new baby’s arrival. So much has changed, thankfully, since my baby showers back in the 1990s. First, our decades-old “fashion” was hideous. We wore ugly, billowy tents covering our growing bellies instead of chic knit dresses hugging our baby bumps. At my shower, female friends and I ate tiny sandwiches, sipped fancy teas and played games involving diapers. Today’s baby showers have evolved into lively coed parties featuring trendy games and
spirited beverages. I’m grateful for the many gifts showered upon me; the countless baby blankets, books and bottles came in handy. But nowadays, baby shower registries include a plethora of amazing possibilities, include high-tech gadgets and designer strollers. Today, a baby monitor is a surveillance device complete with infrared night vision, video cameras, and two-way communication. My first baby monitor transmitted so much static noise that I lost sleep lying awake trying to detect my son’s sounds. At this point in my life, I have been a parent for almost half of my existence. Yet, I don’t feel qualified to offer advice to soon-to-be moms and dads. There are no words to prepare parents for that first embrace with their newborn, the moment when a love so powerful turns life upside down and the little person placed in your arms rules your heart and world forevermore. It’s been decades since my boys were small enough to swaddle, but I remember long nights spent cradling an inconsolable infant, and questioning my parenting skills, or lack thereof. Back in the day, there were no blogs to turn to for pregnancy advice, no online support groups or access to answers with the click of a mouse. In hindsight, I wish I could’ve spent more time appreciating the moments instead of worrying about my babies, but I’m a hall-of-fame worrier. And, as a parent, I worry, because it’s part of the job. There’s truth to the adage, “With little kids come little problems and with big kids come big problems.”

In the beginning, when they’re newborns, concerns center around meeting benchmarks, measuring motor function, cognitive advancement and physical development. Then, in the blink of an eye, the sleep schedules, growth charts, and first steps give way to worries about teen driving, covert parties, and newfangled romances. It’s cliché, but true, the sleepless nights spent lying on the floor next to a little kid’s crib will pale in comparison to nights spent pacing the floor waiting for a big kid to walk through the door. But, alas, parenthood is not all gloom and doom. Being a parent also means experiencing some of life’s most fulfilling heartfelt moments. And there’s more good news, with bigger kids come bigger joys: the excitement of watching them walking across
the stage at high school graduation; witnessing them make decisions about college and careers; and seeing them find the person to share their journey. Parenthood is a perplexing paradox. Being a parent is both my most challenging and most rewarding job. At times, weathering the changing seasons of parenting is trying, but it’s well worth it: being a mom is the best part of life.

ENCOURAGING E-BIKE SAFETY FOR THE SUMMER Photo: Courtesy of Adobe Stock
I
t’s hard to believe that summer is here! I’m sure many of you have teens who are excited to spend the summer hanging out with their friends and relaxing at the beach. This break from the structure and demands of school is a welcome relief to most families. Summertime can feel like a welcome release from the rules and restrictions of school for the youth in your household. However, the freedom of summer also corresponds to an increase in accidental injuries, car crashes, and risk-taking behaviors by young people as they find themselves with more time on their hands to spend outside of the house. The increase of youth with e-bikes makes it easier for them to get around without having to rely on parents for a ride to hang out with their friends. While e-bikes are convenient for parents and youth alike, it is essential to make them aware of how to safely operate these motor vehicles and inform them of critical guidelines to keep them safe through the summer and all year long. One of the most important safety San Clemente Times June 16-22, 2022
tips you can enforce is ensuring your teen wears their helmet with the buckle secured. All youth under the age of 18 must wear a helmet while riding a bike. In addition to this, Class 3 e-bikes with speeds reaching over 28 mph require helmets regardless of age (you must be WELLNESS & 16 or older to ride PREVENTION this class of bike). BY ANGELA PHILLIPS In 2021, trauma centers saw an increase in e-bike-related injuries, and of those injuries, 36% were youth under the age of 17. In my neighborhood, I often notice teens riding their e-bikes with their helmets on their handlebars or unsecured on their head. This does nothing to protect their head in the event of a crash. Lack of experience, distracted drivers, and recklessness increase the risk of a crash, making it all the more important to ensure your child is wearing their helmet properly; it could save their life.
Before they take their first ride, make sure your teen knows the rules of the road. You do not need a license to operate an e-bike, so there is no formal training involved before taking the first ride. Youth are not always familiar with basic bike safety rules such as riding with traffic and staying in bike lanes when available. Tandem bike riding is not permitted unless the bike is a two-seater (these are not recommended for youth), and talking on the phone or texting while riding can be extremely dangerous—encourage your child to put their phone in a safe place. In addition to this, at speeds of up to 28 mph, it may be harder for inexperienced riders to brake for pedestrians and oncoming traffic. Research shows that most youth under 12 do not have the perception or reaction time necessary to brake at higher speeds. Spend some time helping your teen to get familiarized with their e-bike before letting them ride on the street. Please review the San Clemente city ordinance
Page 12
regarding where e-bikes are prohibited, discuss e-bike etiquette, and accompany your child on safety-check rides. You can also visit the California Bicycle Coalition for important bicycle safety information and laws. Whether your teen already has an e-bike or you are considering a purchase, it is important to do your research to ensure their safety. Taking these extra precautions will help give you peace of mind while your teen enjoys the freedom of their summer break!

Pro Pickleball Pops Orange County Cup draws thousands to Life Time RSC courts BY ZACH CAVANAGH, SAN CLEMENTE TIMES
T
he eyes of the court sport community were focused on San Clemente last weekend from Thursday, June 9, through Sunday, June 12. The Professional Pickleball Association’s Select Medical Orange County Cup returned to Life Time Rancho San Clemente and drew nearly 1,000 athletes, more than 4,000 spectators and strong viewership for live Saturday and Championship Sunday broadcasts on Tennis Channel. Coming out of this weekend, the PPA also partnered with Tennis Magazine for the publication’s first-ever joint tennis-pickleball issue. In San Clemente, more than 300 medals were awarded in more than 100 events, as the Orange County Cup saw competitions over numerous divisions based on varying skill levels, ages and demographics. There were professional, open, senior and skill/age group compe-
titions in men’s and women’s singles and doubles, as well as mixed doubles. Amidst the bevy of competitors from local origins and far beyond, the spotlight was placed on the competition’s professional ranks, as top-ranked players contended for more than $133,000 in prize money over the four-day event. On the women’s side, No. 7 seed and Orange County native Parris Todd scored the result of the weekend with a five-set championship upset of PPA singles No. 1 Anna Leigh Waters. Todd was in her first PPA championship appearance and took the title in front of friends and family from Newport Beach. The match was Waters’ first singles loss of the season. The 15-year-old Waters didn’t go home without a gold on the weekend, as she took the win in the mixed doubles with 19-year-old teammate JW Johnson, the men’s No. 4 singles player. Waters and Johnson took down the team of Lucy Kovalova and Matt Wright, tied at No. 2

in the mixed doubles rankings, with a dominant fifth set. Kovalova of Slovakia got the upper hand on Waters in the women’s doubles in a three-set sweep. Kovalova and Callie Smith, Nos. 1 and 2 in the women’s doubles rankings, bested the mother-daughter team of Leigh Waters and Anna Leigh Waters, tied at No. 3 in the PPA rankings. On the men’s side, Johnson also scored an upset in the singles by sweeping No. 2
singles player Tyson McGuffin. In men’s doubles, Wright and Riley Newman, the No. 2 and 3-ranked doubles, scooped up a four-set championship win. The PPA Tour won’t be back in action until August, but it will be back in Southern California for the Skechers Manhattan Beach Invitational on Aug. 4-7. The Tour returns to Orange County in November for the Takeya Showcase at the Tennis Club at Newport Beach on Nov. 17-20. SC

Required Summer Surf Reading Steve Pezman’s new ‘Turn and Go!’ is a must-read for any surfer worth their salt BY JAKE HOWARD, SAN CLEMENTE TIMES

here are a lot of books about surfing out there. Some are good, some not so much. But one tome that should be on every surfer’s bookshelf is the recent release Turn and Go! 50 Years of Surf Writings, by Steve Pezman. After more than a half-century of documenting the sport, culture and lifestyle of wave-riding, Pezman shares some of his favorite tales in his classic, gentle, thoughtful voice—and every single one is amazing. Comprised of various essays, interviews, profiles and other writings, every piece in the 332-page book comes straight from a man who’s spent his entire life in “surfing’s gravitational center.” Pezman was born in Los Angeles in 1941 and began surfing around Long Beach while a student at Wilson High School in the late ’50s. It was during this time that Pezman also served as an ocean lifeguard in Seal Beach.

at least convince us somebody wanted this magazine.” More than 30 years down the track, The Surfer’s Journal is a reader-supported beacon of inspiration for surfers everywhere. Focusing on the artists, travelers, craftspeople and eccentrics who make the sport so colorful, after the fall of Surfer, Surfing and Transworld magazines, The Surfer’s Journal stands as the premier surf magazine in print in America today. It’s also one of the last print surf magazines in business, and for that, the surf world owes the Pezmans and their dedicated staff a huge gratitude. All of these years of writing, editing and publishing are woven into Pezman’s new Turn and Go! Not only is the book an incredible, highly detailed firsthand accounting of our collective history, it’s also a full-on page-turner. Pezman’s writing and voice are sensitive, humorous and always true to the core values of what it means to be a surfer. Copies of the book are available at surfersjournal.com. A book-signing event with Pezman is scheduled for July 7 at the Surfing Heritage and Culture Center in San Clemente. Stay tuned for further details. 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. SC
hat are Satya Aguilar’s favorite things about surfing? Paddling out with family and friends and going as fast as possible. That’s a hard combo to beat. A ripping 9-year-old, Satya, or Sunny as her friends call her, just wrapped up a very successful Western Surfing Association season in which she finished ranked third overall in the Under 10 division. “She loves to surf with her friends, Reese, Harper, Sailah, Peeta, Teagan and Isla,” says her father, Ryan. “She loves her crew of friends—it makes surfing so much fun.” Sunny is also fired up when paddling
out with her older brother, Bodhi, who’s been surfing lights out lately and has shown up here as the Grom of the Week in the past. Together, the stoke level is through the roof with this amazing sibling duo. When she’s not in the water, chances are you can find Sunny in the kitchen baking treats, rolling around the neighborhood on her skateboard or training hard in the jiu-jitsu dojo. She also loves hanging with her various pets, including a pooch, a bunny and some chickens. Growing up in an epic San Clemente surf family, Sunny is part of a super-stoked, super-talented next generation who are leading the charge into the future.

Water Temperature: 67-69 Degrees F Water Visibility and Conditions: 5-10 Thursday: Fresh S swell builds with minor NW windswell mixing in. Sets from the S are in the waist to shoulder high zone for the better exposed breaks in the area (3-4’+). Select summer focal points see occasional bigger waves going head high in the morning and slightly overhead by the afternoon. Calm to light/variable wind in the morning, trending to light onshore flow from the SW by the afternoon. Wind lightens back up in the evening. Outlook: The S swell tops out Friday and then eases through the weekend. Top spots still offer sets in the waist to head high zone (3-5ft) Friday, easing to mainly around the waist to chest high zone for the weekend as refreshed NW windswell blends in. Southerly wind sets up textured conditions Friday morning, then morning wind looks more favorable through the weekend. Moderate onshore flow sets up bumpy afternoons.
