OCEANSIDE
Oceanside Harbor users are asking the city to reorganize its marine public safety program to improve the harbor’s lifeguarding, patrol and rescue services.
Police Department officers have shouldered public safety at the harbor for years, but some boaters say the police spend increasing amounts of their time patrolling in town instead of on the waterfront.
Also, sometimes new police officers assigned to the harbor have little ocean experience and are not trained or ready for the rapid response needed to save a vessel on fire in the harbor or in danger of sinking on the open sea.
“Some change is going to have to come,” said Les George, a retired Vista firefighter who’s rented a slip at the Oceanside harbor for 40 years and had a charter business there for 26 years.

Rodgers called the series the most thorough retelling of what happened.

and i strongly suspect that minority cable system ownership, numbers are not much better and much lower. do these numbers suggest to you there s sufficient diversity of ownership and offer aings of diverse media content, and should we be concerned that those levels could decrease even further following voluntary relocation of broadcasters during the lead up to incentive options? i think those numbers suggest that there is a sad limitation on the number of minorities that are involved in ownership. i think my comments and my remarks are meant to suggest that there are 1700 or so tv stations across the country. there is an opportunity for diverse ownership and there may be in a world where the national licensees and the national providers of the content is the reality that we live with. and i think the country is at risk in terms of less diversity, and i would note that minority groups are very dependent on broadcast reception. 28% of asian household, 23% of african-american
