When Dean A. Goetz lost a few feet of his Terramar back yard he got worried enough to get the permits to build a $500,000 concrete wall to “protect beach goers,” according to a story in the North County Times. But at least one surfer didn’t like that.
. . . local surfer Dustin Rosa said the “true nature of their concern is protecting their backyards, not public safety.” . . Rosa contacted the San Diego County chapter of the Surfrider Foundation last week after construction of the wall began. . . . Todd Cardiff, an attorney with the Coast Law Group and an adviser to Surfrider, also rejected the safety argument. He noted that the main bluff collapse in the area occurred Dec. 19 and that the problem couldn’t have been that urgent if the fixes are just beginning now. . . .”We are going to do everything we can do to make them take that sea wall out,” Cardiff said. “This is one of the most cynical attempts to avoid the public process that I’ve seen in a long time.”
It will be interesting to see what happens on this one.

Talk a walk back to Woodstock this Friday night at Stagecoach Park as the counter culture electric blues of Canned Heat take the stage for opening night of The City of Carlsbadistan’s 2009 TGIF: Jazz In The Parks.
Canned Heat’s unique blend of modern electric blues, rock and boogie earned them international attention and secured their niche in the pages of rock ‘n’ roll history with their performances at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival (along with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and The Who) and a headlining slot at the original Woodstock Festival in 1969. Now celebrating their 40th anniversary, Canned Heat is still going strong. Anchored throughout by the steady hand of drummer/band leader Adolfo “Fito” de la Parra (a member since 1967), Canned Heat is on track to carry the boogie-blues it made famous well into the 21st century.
Save us some cheese and crackers please. It’s a long walk to the Eastern Front.

At an afternoon press conference June 15, 2009 at 2:30 PM at Carlsbad’s Pacific Ridge School Dr. Eileen Mullady, the Head of the School, (pictured right) and Rick Sapp, Chair of the school’s Board of Trustees, gave reporters an update on the 35 students and seven faculty members who are currently being held in swine flu quarantine in Yichang, China after several students and teacher got sick during their 13-day educational tour:
Since the evaluations on June 11, we have nine students and two teachers currently in a hospital in the city of Yichang undergoing further evaluation. Our remaining 26 students and five teachers are quarantined in a nearby hotel. We have been told that seven people [six students and one teacher] have tested positive for H1N1 on the initial screenings and they are recovering. Our teachers have informed us that in the last 24 hours, there have been no additional confirmed cases of H1N1 in our group.
Unfortunately, Mullady did not know when the students and teachers would return home. “We could have students out of quarantine by the end of the week.”

On Saturday night, June 20, 2009 Dr. Tim Lee, a UCSD-trained biologist with a PhD in ecology from UC Davis, will be performing his twisted brand of science comedy through Powerpoint at the Carlsbad Village Theater. He was interview recently by the San Diego Union-Tribune and explained exactly what kind of people enjoy his shows:
I’ve found that, in general, the people who come out to my shows are very bright and possess a strong intellectual curiosity. I feel really lucky to have an audience like that. When I started out in comedy, I spent countless nights performing to a room full of drunks. They want you to get dirty as quickly as possible. I felt like a stripper. Now that I’m doing my own shows, it’s like teaching a class full of gifted students. I trust they understand what I’m talking about and go with it. If you talk down to them, they’ll get bored.

In a Wall Street Journal blog post writer Nick Timiraos throws out some pretty appaling Real Estate statistics from the neighborhood:
In Carlsbad’s 92009 zip code, where Zillow tracks a median home price of more than $500,000, nearly one in 50 homes had received a notice of default in the 12 months ending in February, according to RealtyTrac.
Times are tough indeed.
