Bye Bye Beach: Carlsbad Shuts Down

by The Editors on July 5, 2007

Beach Closures

On Sunday July 8, 2007 you can say goodbye to your peaceful mid-morning Tamarack surf as the City of Carlsbad shuts down the entire beach from the Cold Waters to Pine Street and turns it over to 1,000 lycra-clad, masochistic body-shavers and their significant others for the annual Carlsbad Triathlon. If, however, you enjoy watching people of all shapes and sizes jiggling around town in their underwear then this might possibly rank up there as the best day of your year.

The Elite Division dives into the surf at 8:00 AM with the rest to follow. For a schedule of the entire Carlsbad Triathlon and Health & Welness Weekend click the link below.

Carlsbad’s Helping Hann

by The Editors on June 27, 2007

There’s nothing like a write up in the local paper to help a high school grad get where she’s going. Carlsbad’s Miranda Hann, 18, got the full deal in the San Digeo Union Tribune when writer Leah Masterson broke it down for everyone.

Miranda Hann isn’t your typical teenager. . . Throughout her high school career, she spent weekends and summers volunteering for organizations that nurtured her love of science and her desire to enter the field of medicine. . . For three years, Hann volunteered every weekend in the Maternity Unit at Tri-City Medical Center.

Right on, Miranda.

Laverson’s Silly Face Putty

by The Editors on May 23, 2007

Carlsbad Plastic Surgeon Dr. Steve Laverson claims he is one of the first cosmetic surgeons to begin using the recent FDA approved PERLANE(R) injectable injectable filler on patients in the United States.

“We help patients maintain the youthful look they want in the easiest way possible,” says Dr. Laverson. “It used to be the only way to restore youth was to either tighten or surgically lift the skin. Cosmetic fillers, like PERLANE(R), give consumers more options to smooth aging facial features.”

According to the doctor “The U.S. market for facial fillers is about $175 million” and it appears that he wants his piece.
