SDSU MEN’S SOCCER DOWNS SANTA CLARA IN MID-WEEK FRIENDLY 3-2

  Source: goaztecs.com press release Photo: Travis Nicklaw courtesy goaztecs.com August 17, 2016 (San Diego) – The San Diego State men’s soccer team got its first taste of the 2016 campaign on Wednesday in thrilling fashion with a 3-2 triumph over Santa Clara in a preseason friendly at SDSU Sports Deck. The match featured two 35-minute periods and one 30-minute frame on a sun-splashed Montezuma Road, as the Aztecs faced a Bronco squad that returned 20 letterwinners and five starters from last season after advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. “I think our team showed great determination today and I was very pleased with our resiliency,” said SDSU head coach Lev Kirshner. “I was also very happy that we were able to use all of our players who were eligible and get them some valuable minutes.  There were a lot of intangibles to take away from today, which will give us a springboard for our next friendly at Cal State Northridge on Sunday.” After a scoreless first period, the Aztecs drew first blood on a header by redshirt junior Dallin Cutler from the left side of the net with 13:27 elapsed in the second stanza. Just over five minutes later, Santa Clara got the equalizer on a penalty kick by Edsona Cardona. SDSU reclaimed the lead in the third period when a strike by redshirt senior Travis Niclaw found space in the lower right corner of the cage with nearly six minutes gone by. However, the Broncos levelled the contest after a free kick later in the frame, with Andres Jimenez converting through heavy traffic at the 16:20 mark. With just over five minutes left in the contest, the Aztecs went ahead to stay thanks to the efforts of redshirt freshman Pablo Pelaez, who launched a shot into the net from 20 yards away after a feed from redshirt senior Sergio Enriquez. Both teams utilized three goalkeepers on the day with SDSU’s Anthony Macias and Max Watkin making two saves apiece in the first and second periods, respectively. “Santa Clara did a great job in making things difficult for us on our initial possession and kept us from establishing a rhythm on our attack,” Kirshner said. “We also have to get better on deadballs. We gave up two today and those could negatively impact a season. But we were able to overcome those with great resolve and ended up making more plays than they did.” The Aztecs will play one more exhibition on Sunday when they travel to Cal State Northridge on Sunday, starting at 7 p.m. PT. SDSU officially opens its 2016 regular season the Gonzaga Soccer Tournament in Spokane, Wash., with matches against first-time adversaries UIC (Aug. 26) and Bradley (Aug. 28). MAN OF THE MATCH: Redshirt freshman Pablo Pelaez is the Aztecs’ Man of the Match after notching one goal and one assist on Wednesday vs. Santa Clara.  “Pablo changed the game when he went in at the No. 6 position,” Kirshner added. “It wasn’t on our specific agenda, but he dictated our rhythm and gave us a better possession. He had a great day.”

PADS LEAVE THE TROP SWEPT

  By Liz Alper Photo courtesy @Padres on Twitter August 17, 2016 (Tampa Bay) – After a miserable game last night, the Padres woke up with the prospect of a new day and a new game.  Christian Friedrich started on the mound against the ace of the Rays’ staff, Chris Archer. Right away, the Padres got hurt by the long ball once more.  Brad Miller smashed a two-run homer in the first to give the Rays a 2-0 lead.  The slaughter wasn’t as bad as last night, but it would be enough as the Rays sweep the Padres in three games.   The Padres come home on Thursday for a four game series against the Diamondbacks at 7:10 p.m.  Paul Clemens will start for the Padres.  

LANDLORDS NEEDED TO HELP HOMELESS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY

  By José A. Álvarez, County of San Diego Communications Office August 17, 2016 (San Diego) –San Diego area landlords: homeless people need your help. The County of San Diego and its many partners are looking for landlords who are willing to rent apartments to help house 130 people who are currently homeless. Thirty of them have been identified through the Project One for All initiative, a comprehensive program to help homeless people with serious mental illness find a place to live and receive intensive treatment services. The other 100 people are homeless veterans who have received a Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing voucher from the County, made available through funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, and are ready to move into a home. All 130 people now have the funds to pay their rent, but need to find homes. “We know there are landlords in the region who are willing to help the homeless, and I’m grateful to those willing to step forward,” said Chairman Ron Roberts, who, together with Supervisor Greg Cox, spearheaded the effort to establish Project One for All. “We need homes for vulnerable men and women who have no place to live,” Cox said. According to the 2016 Point in Time Count, there were nearly 8,700 people without a permanent home in San Diego County. Of those, 57 percent were living on the streets and the remaining were living in temporary housing. Fourteen percent of people living on the streets had serious mental health conditions. The County and its partners are tackling homelessness by actively promoting the many programs available to people without a place to live. Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing About 13 percent of the homeless in San Diego County served in the military. To help them find homes, the County’s Housing and Community Development Services has set aside $400,000 for a landlord incentive program. Under the program, landlords who rent to homeless veterans could get some incentives, including leasing bonuses of up to $500 for each new unit leased, as well as financial help with security and utility deposits up to $1,600. However, not everyone with housing vouchers can find a place to live.  More than 100 people currently have vouchers but the region’s low vacancy rates and high rents make it difficult for them to find a home. “We are giving landlords incentives and making it easier for them to rent to veterans so that they can help us get them into safe and stable housing,” said Todd Henderson, County Housing and Community Development Services director. Landlords willing to help military veterans find homes can now call or visit 2-1-1 San Diego for information. The 2-1-1 line will refer landlords to the proper jurisdiction so the service will be a benefit to all the organizations in the county who need housing for homeless vets. Project One for All In July, the County Health and Human Services Agency launched Project One for All, a plan to place people who are homeless and have serious mental illness in treatment services paired with supportive housing to fully integrate housing, mental health services, primary health care, alcohol and drug services, case management and social services to help participants become stable and live more productive lives. About 1,250 people in San Diego County are homeless and have serious mental illness. To better coordinate efforts to help these people, the County integrated the Department of Housing and Community Development into the Health and Human Services Agency. The County has identified 30 people receiving services through Project One for All who also need a home. “One way to help homeless people get – and stay – off the street is supportive housing,” said Alfredo Aguirre, Director of HHSA’s Behavioral Health Services. “Having a home helps people with their recovery, gets them back on track and recapture the goals and dreams they had growing up.” Project One for All is expected to decrease hospitalizations, calls for emergency transport, and the frequency with which law enforcement responds to psychiatric emergencies. In all, there are nine measures the County will use to monitor progress. The County is investing $16 million in support of Project One for All in the fiscal year starting July 1 and $19 million the following year. Funding comes from a mix of sources, including Mental Health Services Act, state and federal funds. In addition, the County and City of San Diego housing authorities are contributing $4 million in housing vouchers to the project in the coming fiscal year and $9 million next year. Project One for All and Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing supports the County’s Live Well San Diego vision for a healthy, safe and thriving region.

LA MESA TRAVELODGE SUED OVER ALLEGED DISCRIMINATION AGAINST DEAF WOMAN WITH SERVICE DOG

  East County News Service August 17, 2016 (La Mesa) — A lawsuit alleges that the Travelodge hotel in La Mesa discriminated against a deaf woman traveler, due to her service dog. The plaintiff, Naomi Sheneman, is represented by Eisenberg & Baum Law Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. A statement issued by the New York law firm states, “”It is disturbing in 2016 that people could actually be refused access to hotels on basis of their deafness. Our client has brought this lawsuit not only to redress the discrimination that already occurred, but to ensure that any other Deaf individuals that seek access to hotels with service animals will not be discriminated against. There is no excuse that Travelodge cannot be accessible to Deaf individuals with service animals. Their lack of awareness for the need to properly accommodate the Deaf community cannot continue.” East County Magazine has contacted Travelodge La Mesa and requested comment on the lawsuit. Sheneman communicates primarily in American Sign Language and is a registered interpreter for the deaf.  Her hearing dog, Chocolate, alerts her to noises. According to the suit, “After Naomi asserted her civil rights by refusing to sign a discriminatory damage policy form pertaining to guests with animals, Travelodge told her that she was no longer welcome at the hotel, and she was forced to leave.” The suit claims that Sheneman arrived to check at the Travelodge, located at 7911 University Avenue, on March 8th.  She had prepaid the $185 bill online at Expedia.com.  However, front desk staff “appeared obviously displeased to see the dog” which had on a service uniform.  The front desk clerk allegedly referred Ms. Sheneman to a sign posted near the desk reading “No Pets Allowed.” Sheneman explained that Chocolate was a service dog and the clerk began the check-in process. The clerk gave Sheneman a form asking for a damage deposit, which she paid. But Sheneman objected when given a second form titled “Damage Policy covering an Animal in the Room” that listed charges for damage by a guest’s animal. Sheneman accessed the Americans with Disabilities Act website and showed the clerk the following: Can I charge a maintenance or cleaning fee for customers who bring service animals into my business? A: No. Neither a deposit nor a surcharge may be imposed on an individual with a disability as a condition to allowing a service animal to accompany the individual with a disability, even if deposits are routinely required for pets. However, a public accommodation may charge its customers with disabilities if a service animal causes damage so long as it is the regular practice of the entity to charge non-disabled customers for the same types of damages. The clerk appeared to call a manager on the phone, then printed and showed Sheneman the same language from the ADA site and said she would be responsible for any damage caused by her dog. Sheneman said she believed that the first damage deposit already addressed her responsibility and that the second form was discriminatory due to her service animal.  She refused to sign the form then said she wanted to keep the second deposit form to investigate if it was discriminatory. But when she folded the form to put it in her bag, the suit contends, the clerk grabbed the form and tore it, though Sheneman managed to keep most of the form. The clerk then told Sheneman she could not stay at Travelodge and refused to give her a refund. Shenenam stayed at another hotel.  After several calls to Expedia, Travelodge offered a partial refund but eventually refunded the amount in full. The suit alleges that Travelodge violated of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Unruh Act, and the California Disabilities Act. The plaintiff, a resident of Rochester New York, travels to San Diego frequently for work and indicates she wants to stay at the Travelodge in the future. The suit seeks monetary damages and an injunction requiring Travelodge to implement a policy prohibiting future discrimination against deaf or hard of hearing people, as well as training of all personnel.

SAMMY’S WOOD-FIRED PIZZA HAS TASTY VEGETARIAN OPTIONS

  By Chisato Iversen August 17, 2016 (La Mesa) – East County Magazine stopped by Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza ( 8555 Fletcher Pkwy, La Mesa) to have some lunch.  I was pleasantly surprised to see that unlike most pizza places this restaurant has wide variety of foods and was really international–from soups, to tacos, all the way to, of course pizzas. I am pescatarian, so was definitely really happy to see that they have a lot of food options that are for vegetarians or vegans.  The restaurant was very spacious with upscale architectural elements and comfortable seating. We had the choice of sitting outside on the patio or inside. Our service was great; they were ready to take our order and had our food prepared quickly. We ordered the Wild Arugula and Red Quinoa Salad, Crisp Brussels Sprouts, and the Kung Pao Calamari. All of these dishes were beautifully presented, flavorful, and affordable, with generous portions. Our editor has previously sampled various meat and veggie pizzas and other dishes here, from lettuce cups to cauliflower, and indicated all were delicious. This is the perfect place for a quick lunch. Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza is a chain restaurant that started in San Diego County and is now located throughout California and in Nevada.  If you are interested in more information on Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza, you can visit their site at http://www.sammyspizza.com

HELIX WATER TO CONSIDER FEES, CHANGES AT LAKE JENNINGS CAMPGROUND

  East County News Service August 17, 2016 (La  Mesa) – At today’s 2 p.m. meeting of the Helix Water District Board (7811 University Ave., La Mesa), directors will consider addition of fees and other changes at Lake Jennings, including adding kayak rentals and a tee-pee rental venue at the campground.  These are the latest improvements proposed by a committee led by director Joel Scalzitti.    As a result, the lake that some board  members sought to close due to budget shortfalls is now operating at a profit.  View board package and agenda. At its last meeting, the board voted 3-2 for hefty rate hikes of 10.1%, effective on water use after  November 1,2016 and billings starting January 1,2017. That action has inspired five challengers to run against two board members who voted for this hefty rate hike as well as earlier recent increases—moves that fueled outrage in public comments and emails sent to the board. A drought update in the board report shows a 21% reduction in water use since July 2016. But director Kathleen Coates-Hedberg says her own calculations show 18%. In an e-mail to constituents she writes,”However, just one week before this water use report came out (done in house)…our General Manager & staff said that we need to raise rates over 10% as customers will NOT be using more water than last year and our budget will fall short, thus they went with an estimated cumulative -20%! Joel Scalzitti and I said let’s wait and see…because if we raise rates over 10% people will use less water once their bills come in!” She adds that the district cannot afford to “continue down this death spiral…increase rates, water use lower, lower revenue, budget shortfall, need to increase rates…our customers cannot afford these outrageous rate increases year after year!” Incumbents John Linden and Chuck  Muse, who voted for the rate hike, face stiff competition in November’s election. At least two of their competitors, Dan McMillan and Mark Gracyk, have strongly opposed the rate hikes and say they would work to roll back rates. Both have been endorsed by the Grossmont-Mt. Helix Improvement Association, which fought against the rate hikes. Linden will face three formidable competitors:  Dan McMillan is a former director of the Padre Dam Municipal Water District and San Diego County Water Authority, as well as a director on the San Miguel Consolidated Fire Protection District Board.  Luis “Lu” Tejeda is a retired Helix Water District employee. Aaron Zajac is a calibrator.     Muse has two challengers: Mark Gracyk, a water manager at the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar, and Erik Collins, a finance manager. Director Joel Scalzitti, who voted against the rate hike, is running unopposed. 

TRUMP’S TROUBLING TIES TO KREMLIN AND PRO-RUSSIAN DICTATORS

  East County News Service August 17, 2016 (Kiev) — Ukraine’s new anti-corruption bureau has revealed that handwritten ledgers list $12.7 million in secret and illegal cash payments earmarked for Paul Manafort, campaign chairman for Donald Trump, from 2007-2012, the New York Times reports.  Manafort was a consultant at the time for Viktor Yanukovych, the pro-Russian president later deposed. Criminal prosecutors are also investigating allegations that Manafort set up an offshore shell company to launder money for a Russian oligarch, Oleg Derepaska close ally of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. Manafort has denied receiving any of that $12.7 million in cash, though if such a transaction did occur it could be untraceable. Oddly, Manafort has told the Los Angeles Times previously that he is an unpaid volunteer working free for the Trump campaign, despite the fact that he’s previously been a hired consultant for a variety of high profile clients including Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos and former U.S. President Ronald Reagan. Is he really unpaid, or could he be getting cash under the table from another source, such as Putin or Russian organized crime interests seeking to influence U.S. policy? Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook has issued this statement, the BBC reports: “Donald Trump has a responsibility to disclose campaign chair Paul Manafort’s and all other campaign employees’ and advisers’ ties to Russian or pro-Kremlin entities, including whether any of Trump’s employees or advisers are currently representing and or being paid by them.” Trump has baffled political pundits with his unabashed admiration for Putin.  The Atlantic reports that Trump has offered “the most pro-Kremlin slate of statements of any U.S. presidential candidate since Henry Wallace’s Progressive Party campaign of fellow travel in 1948. Trump has suggested that NATO is obsolete and should be dismantled or drastically scaled back. He’s indicated he would not necessarily come to the aid of NATO allies in the event of a Russian attack. He spoke about conceding Russian annexation of Crimea, a region of Ukraine that Moscow annexed in 2014, in what the global community almost universally views as a violation of international law. In addition, the Atlantic notes, “Trump has expressed his admiration for Putin’s style of leadership, expressed hope that the two men would get along well, and claimed that he knew Putin, only to say later that they had never met.” The Republican Party platform shifted to pro-Russian stances, including dropping an agreement to arm the Ukraine against Russia, sparking outrage among some conservatives.  The Los Angeles Times reports that Manafort and the Trump campaign were suspected to be behind these changes, though the Trump team has denied this. The Democratic National Committee has blamed Russia for hacks into emails between the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Trump himself publicly called for Russia to hack in and get Clinton’s missing emails, but later claimed he was joking. Conservative columnist George Will said on Fox News earlier this week that one of the reasons Trump may be refusing to release his tax returns is that they may show “he is deeply involved in dealing with Russian oligarchs,”CNN’S Money has reported. Will also warned about Trump’s ties in a recent Washington Post editorial ,in which Will urged voters to read Franklin Foer’s Slate essay “Putin’s Puppet”. That essay states,” …we should think of the Trump campaign as the moral equivalent of Henry Wallace’s communist-infiltrated campaign for president in 1948.” Foer concluded, “A foreign power that wishes ill upon the United States has attached itself to a major presidential campaign.” .According to a Washington Post investigation, “Since the 1980s, Trump and his family members have made numerous trips to Moscow in search of business opportunities, and they have relied on Russian investors to buy their properties around the world. “Trump’s son, Donald Jr. told a real estate conference in 2008, “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,” Trump’s according to an account posted on the website of eTurboNews, a trade publication. “We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.” Why might Trump turn to Russian financiers? New York Magazine has observed,” Trump’s habit of refusing to pay back people who loan him money means regular American banks won’t lend him money anymore, making him dependent on unusual sources of financing.” Just how much does Trump owe to Russian financiers of dubious character—and if elected President, what might he be willing to do to erase those debts? Do we want someone getting daily security briefings and access to nuclear launch codes to be beholden to foreign interests—especially Russia’s dictator or potentially, Russian criminal enterprises? Trump, in a late July news conference, stated disingenuously, ““I have nothing to with Russia. I have nothing to do with Russia — for anything.”  He then qualified that by saying he’d sold condos to Russians, the Washington Post reports. The Washington post gave Trump a four-Pinocchio rating, calling those statements “artfully deceiving.” The Post documents numerous Trump family efforts through the years to secure major business deals in Russia, but notes that without seeing the tax returns Trump has refused to disclose, it is impossible to confirm how closely his business dealings in Russia may be. A Slate magazine investigation has revealed other top Trump advisors with strong Russian ties and Trump’s own associations with Russian oligarchs, some with reported mob ties.  The magazine also discussed Putin’s pattern of stealthily meddling in other countries’ elections to install leaders supportive of pro-Putin policies. Slate concludes with the observation that more and more political leaders and analysts on both sides of the political aisle are now voicing: ”Donald Trump is like the Kremlin’s favored candidates, only more so.”

BLOCK BILL REQUIRING VOLUNTEER SERVICE HOURS FOR CALIFORNIA LAW STUDENTS HEADS TO GOVERNOR

  East County News Service August 17, 2016 (Sacramento) – A bill requiring law students to complete 50 hours of supervised volunteer or pro bono service before taking the bar exam will go the governor after the state senate voted late Monday to approve changes made in the Assembly. “This bill, SB 1257, provides law students with hands-on experience in addition to classroom theory before going on to practice law, and provides California’s indigent with a new resource for legal assistance,” said Sen. Marty Block (D-San Diego), the measure’s author. He added that representing low-income clients might also spur law student interest in high need, but relatively low-paid fields of law. Under the bill, law students will be required to complete, sign and submit a form to the State Bar confirming completion of 50 hours of pro bono service. Acceptable service under the bill would include work that benefits the public interest or persons who are indigent or of modest means. Partisan political activities would not qualify as pro bono service. In the Assembly, the bill was amended to allow students to receive payment for their work, so long as payment was not from the client who benefitted from the service. Students who are already licensed in foreign countries or other states are exempt from the bill. “SB 1257 will provide practical experience for law students, legal assistance for needy Californians and staff support for organizations that already represent the underserved,” Block said. SB 1257 is supported by the Conference of California Bar Associations and the Monterey College of Law. It was approved by the Senate on a 26 –12 vote.

ONE DAY FAST IN SUPPORT OF FARMWORKERS

  By Jonathan Goetz Top: Photo Credit: Robert Longer Right: Photo Credit: Emily Davenport Bottom: Photo: Tom Lemmon   August 17, 2016 (San Diego) — Throughout California yesterday, legislators and community leaders fasted in support of agricultural workers, who do not currently receive the same overtime benefits as non-agricultural workers despite the physically demanding nature of their job. This could change if South Bay Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez’ Assembly Bill 1066 is passed and signed into law. A rally was held on the steps of the Capitol in Sacramento featuring Gonzalez, andother officials.Local resident Tom Lemmon, founder and chair of the San Diego Building and Construction Trades Council AFL-CIO. Both participated in the fast and raised awareness via social media. Rather than simply removing the exclusion of farmworkers from overtime protections immediately, the provision is phased in over six years to allow farms whom so choose to hire more workers. Beginning in 2019 agricultural work in excess of 9.5 hrs/day or 55 hrs/wk would require overtime. One year later in 2020, that would be changed to 9 hrs/day or 50 hrs/wk. In 2021, overtime pay would be required for those working 8.5 hrs/day or 45 hrs/week, and in 2020 the same 8-hour day and 40-hour week as employees in less physically demanding jobs would earn overtime pay. Growers have argued that increasing pay would raise prices, however any increase in cost would be borne primarily by consumers outside of California.  According to the California Department of Food and Agriculture, over a third of the country’s vegetables and two thirds of the country’s fruits and nuts were grown in California. In 2014, 40% of California’s $51 billion in crops were exported to foreign countries.
