Month: September 2011

San Diego County on Wednesday released two proposals to establish a supervisorial district where the majority of the population is made up of ethnic minorities, a month after abandoning its original plans amid legal threats from civil rights attorneys.

The county’s two alternative maps, scheduled for consideration by the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, [Sept 6th] would create a South Bay district where Latinos and African Americans constitute a majority of the voting-age population.

There have been numerous shark sightings along San Diego’s coast lately – including Sunset Cliffs – to give ocean-goers second thoughts. Or I should say, some ocean-goers.

Today, Thursday, September 1, around 9 a.m. a visiting Kentuckian reported spotting a dorsal fin slicing through the ocean off Sunset Cliffs, along the 1200 block of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. A guy near her checked it out with binoculars and followed the fin as it moved around offshore.

This possible sighting has not been confirmed, and lifeguards stated it was not “credible.”
