Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Monday, June 17th.
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science
and entertainment.
At first, you'll be interested to know, 249 years ago, today in 1775.
The Battle of Bunker Hill took place in Boston, Massachusetts.
This battle marked the first major conflict of the American Revolution.
Although the fighting took place on Breed's Hill, the battle's name references the nearby
Bunker Hill.
British and colonial forces clash for two hours, leaving lasting impacts on Charlestown
and the colonies.
The battle, though a tactical British victory, galvanized the colonial resistance and inspired
future generations to fight for liberty and justice.
Each year, people gather at the Bunker Hill monument in remembrance.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.

In local news.
Grading resumes for Oceanside's much anticipated ocean camp project.
Featuring an artificial wave lagoon, resort hotel, retail shops and nearly 700 homes.
The 92 acre site, formerly a drive in theater, awaits city permits for infrastructure work
expected this year.
Despite past environmental challenges, a settlement reduced the housing count and added affordable
units.
Supported by locals and surfers, ocean camp promises to boost Oceanside's appeal.
Details on the wave pool's technology remain undisclosed, but the development aims to offer
diverse recreational activities and enhance the local economy.
Now on to sports.
Bryson DeChambeau has won his second U.S. Open, triumphing at Pinehurst number two.
DeChambeau's victory came as Rory McElroy faltered, missing crucial putts and continuing
his nearly 10-year major championship drought.
DeChambeau's crucial par on the 18th hole secured his win by one stroke.
McElroy's struggle, including bogeys on the final holes, highlighted the intense competition.
DeChambeau praised McElroy's skill, acknowledging his own luck in the victory.
This win adds to DeChambeau's 2020 U.S. Open title, showcasing his resilience and strategic
play under pressure.
In local sports, the Padres on the road lost to the Mets 11-6.
And tonight, the Padres head to Philadelphia to take on the Phillies.
In top news, Warren Kitty added 4 million more GameStop shares, bringing his total stake
to 9 million shares, valued at $262 million.
Despite this move, GameStop stock sank 4 percent, trading at $30.18 on Friday.
Last week, Keith Gill, known as Roaring Kitty, revealed his 120,000 GameStop call options.
Fans speculate he used proceeds from these options to buy the additional shares.
GameStop recently raised $2 billion from a share sale, but reported a 28 percent drop
in first-quarter net sales.
In business news, a $4.5 billion settlement between Duquan, Terraform Labs, and the SEC
marks a resolution in the high-profile case involving Kwan's failed stablecoin.

billion settlement.
Kwan, known for his collapsed stablecoin in 2022, faces significant legal challenges.
With Terraform Labs' bankrupt, the ability to pay the fine remains uncertain.
This settlement is part of broader efforts to hold crypto bad actors accountable as the
market matures, with increasing involvement from major financial firms.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $66,000, Ethereum is $3,500, and Solana is $147.

Let's talk science.
NASA's 47-year-old Voyager 1 probe is fully operational again after seven months of technical
issues.
In November 2023, the spacecraft over 15 billion miles from Earth began transmitting unreadable
data.
Researchers traced the problem to corrupted memory in its light data subsystem computer.
By April, two instruments were restored, and now all four are sending readable data.
Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 continues its mission, studying interstellar space, showcasing
the incredible longevity and resilience of this historic probe.
And in entertainment news, Matt Damon and Casey Affleck star as two thieves on the run.
In the trailer for Doug Liman's heist movie, The Instigators, set to premiere on Apple
TV plus on August 9, Damon plays Worry, a desperate father, and Affleck is Cobby, an
ex-con.
After their heist on a corrupt mayor, goes awry, they embark on a chaotic escape with
Rury's therapist, portrayed by Han Cha, reluctantly joining their adventure.
The film also features Michael Stolbark, Paul Walter Hauser, Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina,
Toby Jones, and Jack Carlo.
The Instigators is produced by Artist Equity, Studio 8, and The Walsh Company.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the U.S. representative who originally dedicated the Bunker Hill monument
in Charlestown, Massachusetts, Daniel Webster.
And he said,
Behold, then, fellow citizens, the difference resulting from the operation of the two principles.
Here, today, on the summit of Bunker Hill, and at the foot of this monument, behold the
difference.
I would that the 50,000 voices present could proclaim it with a shout, which should be
heard over the globe.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
with local news and the surf reports.
Have an amazing day, my good friends.
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
