When Carlsbadistan’s Jennifer Cushman, 26, died May 19, 2008 after brain surgery at Tri-City Medical Center she helped save four people by donating her organs. Today, Cushman along with 37 other organ donors, are being “honored New Year’s Day with a floral tribute during the annual Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena,” according to a story in the North County Times.
Her organs helped save the lives of four people including a 14-year-old girl, said Sharon Ross, a spokeswoman for the nonprofit organ-donation organization, Donate Life California, and outreach manager for Donate Life’s chapter serving San Diego and Imperial counties.

Tomorrow night (January 2, 2008) Carlsbadistan’s finest will be holding a top secret sobriety check point on PCH just south of Tamarack, according to a press release in the North County Times. The spot is great because with water on both sides of the road there really is no way to escape.
People driving with open containers, registration problems, broken windshields, no front license plate, or bongs that take up half the front seat are discouraged from driving the coast between Cannon and Tamarack on Saturday night. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
