Having been watching the chaos in Agua Hedionda Lagoon since someone mentioned it to us last week, we find it very hard to believe that this doesn’t happen more often, what with all those PWCs buzzing around and around in that tiny corner of the lagoon:
A 13-year-old was flown to Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego after a collision Friday [Aug. 24, 2007] of two personal watercraft at California Water Sports in Snug Harbor Marina, according to officials. . . The boy’s watercraft was bumped by another, causing pain to his back, firefighters said.
The boy was flown to the hospital via life flight, however, his injuries were not that serious according to The North County Times. The helicopter was simply used because traffic was so bad on The 5.

The Carlsbad Boys & Girls Club has received a “conditional approval” for the $7 million, 18,600-square-foot clubhouse they hope to build in Carlsbad’s Bressi Ranch development.
Saying the project’s architecture was “stunning” and the building was “well deserved” for the nonprofit youth organization that’s put up with a temporary clubhouse in La Costa for 25 years, the commission voted 6-0 to grant the project a conditional use permit. Commissioner Bill Dominguez was absent.
The organization hopes to have the clubhouse open in 2009.

As everyone under 16 will tell you, July 21 is the day that the seventh and “final” installment in JK Rowlings Harry Potter series Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows drops on the world. And to get a jump on the action, bookstores are staying open until midnight on July 20th so they can start selling the books as soon as the 21st rolls around. Borders Carlsbad at 1905 Calle Barcelona in The Forum is hosting a Grand Hallows Ball featuring:
An evening of wizardly activities, fantastical games, and stupendous giveaways! Get your copy at the stroke of midnight.
So if you have some Potter fans in your family, this will definitely be the place to be. And don’t think there won’t be a huge, long line filled with kids (and a lot of adults, sadly) in costume stringing down the front of the buidling.

When our friends Cec and Katie sent us an invitation to their neighborhood “4th of July Parade,” we honestly imagined a couple strollers with flags taped on and Cec in a Uncle Sam costume. We thought we’d stroll the neighborhood waving to strangers and write it off as performance art.
When we arrived at Terramar at about 11:20, however, what we found was a completely decorated neighborhood and a parade lead by a red Lincoln Continental convertible with floats, people in costumes, and Captain Mike Davis of the Carlsbad Fire Department behind the wheel of Carlsbad’s old-time fire truck. And yes, there was even an Uncle Sam in the march. We were overwhelmed by the sense of community, neighborhood pride, and America love. It made us damn proud to be Carlsbadistanians.

According to a newly approved facilities master plan for the Carlsbad Unified School District Buena Vista and Magnolia Elementary schools could be closed for good. The North County Times reports that it is being discussed.
Nothing would happen quickly, board President Kelli Moors stressed Thursday as she discussed the planning document that the board approved late Wednesday night. “I think the thing to keep in mind is that both schools will continue to operate in the coming (school) year,” she said.
