After Steve Aceti ruins all our surf spots in 2012 with his giant sand dump, Encinitas will probably drop off the list.

Sand lobbyist awards his own project
It's really fascinating watching people's propaganda machines at work.
Local sand lobbyist Steve Aceti as he appeared in the LA Times.

From the San Diego Union Tribune,
Group praises Encinitas for using reclaimed sand
ENCINITAS: A national advocacy group has honored the city of Encinitas for using reclaimed sand from a construction project to replenish an eroded beach.
The American Shore and Beach Preservation Association announced Monday that Encinitas is the recipient of its 2009 Best Restored Beach Award.
The sand was reclaimed from the construction site of Pacific Station, a $40 million residential and commercial project being built in downtown Encinitas by John Dewald & Associates.
In January, 37,000 cubic yards of high-quality sand were taken from the site and trucked to the northernmost beach of Encinitas, sometimes referred to as South Ponto. The loads of sand were dumped in the tide to help offset erosion.
Because of the southerly coastal flow, the sand will migrate to other Encinitas beaches over time, officials said.
Harry Simmons, president of the preservation association, said it created the award in 2001 to recognize such restoration efforts. The group's mission is to foster “sound, farsighted and economical development and preservation of our beaches.” –T.M.

Leucadia Found
Here is a song about Leucadia, written and performed by a homegrown Leucadian.
That is by Diana Monzeglio, a San Dieguito Class of ’77 grad, and recorded for the KGB Home Grown album made that year. Backing vocals are by Sara Ecke May.
