Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Wednesday, August 14th.
You'll be interested to know.
Eighty-nine years ago, today, in 1935, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act,
establishing a permanent national old age pension system through employer and employee
contributions.
This landmark legislation marked a significant step towards providing financial security
for retired Americans, and it laid the foundation for the modern welfare state, ensuring that
older citizens receive support in their later years.
So now you know.
And now, it's time for the Surf Report.
Expect a mix of waist-to-chest high waves from the south-southwest on Wednesday with
occasional shoulder high sets.
Mornings will be glassy with light south winds less than five miles per hour.
Afternoons will become onshore and semi-choppy with winds shifting west at five to ten miles
per hour.
On Thursday, waves will be knee-to-waist high with occasional stomach high sets.
Winds remain glassy with south-southwest winds less than five miles per hour shifting onshore
in the afternoon.
Wednesday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking glassy in the morning until ten at
two to four feet.
Then conditions turn fair to choppy until sunset.
Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a two-and-a-half foot incoming high tide when a south swell
is two and a half feet at 15 seconds and the onshore wind is two miles per hour.
The first low tide Wednesday will be one foot at 1245 a.m. with a five-foot high tide at

In Local News
There is discord among housing advocacy and tenant rights groups regarding Proposition
33, a measure on California's 2024 ballot that would give city governments expanded
power to control rent costs.
For nearly three decades, California's Costa-Hawkins law has restricted cities from imposing rent
control on single-family homes or apartments built after 1995.
Proposition 33 aims to change that, allowing cities to set rent control for any housing
type.
Similar measures were rejected in 2018 and 2020.
San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria opposes the measure, arguing it will deter developers and worsen
the housing shortage.
Residents have raised nearly $70 million.
Gloria stated that current housing policies are increasing supply and reducing rents,
and this measure would undermine those efforts.
Now on to sports.
Yankees' third baseman, Jazz Chisholm, is likely headed for the injured list due to
a left-owner collateral injury.
Director Aaron Boone announced the team has not ruled out surgery, but the full extent
of the injury will be known after doctors review his MRI results.
Chisholm, optimistic yet sore, expressed some concern.
Since joining from the Miami Marlins, he has been a standout performer.
With Chisholm out, Boone plans to use Oswaldo Cabrera and DJ La Mejia at third base.
Potential call-ups include Jimmy Jones, Oswald Parassa, and Caleb Durbin.
In local sports, the Padres at home beat the Pirates 3-to-zip.
Today, game three of the series at Peco Park starts at 1 p.m.
In top news, a storm of controversy is swirling over dairy consumption.
While multiple servings of milk, cheese, or yogurt have been a staple of American nutrition
advice, a growing number of researchers and doctors suggest reducing dairy intake or even
eliminating it.
The U.S. government, which recommends three servings of dairy daily, is re-evaluating
its guidelines.
Some studies link dairy-rich diets to cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, while others
suggest benefits like lower risks of some cancers and type 2 diabetes.
Experts recommend moderation, with one serving of dairy daily being sufficient for most adults.
In business news, the United Auto Workers, one of the country's largest unions, has
filed federal labor charges against former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon
Musk.
The union alleges that both men attempted to intimidate workers during a conversation
on Musk's social media platform.
The charges highlight Trump's comments about handling striking workers, suggesting they
could be fired.
The United Auto Workers claims these remarks threaten workers' rights.
Musk, known for opposing unions, posted inaccurate statements about United Auto Workers' leaders
on X.
The union has endorsed Kamala Harris and aims to counter Trump's appeal to working-class
voters.

Let's talk science.
A Mississippi man, Hedy Templeton, made an extraordinary discovery while wading through
a rural creek in Madison County.
Templeton, an avid fossil hunter, found a fully intact, seven-foot-long mammoth tusk,
likely from the last ice age.
According to the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this tusk, belonging
to a Colombian mammoth, is a rare find in Mississippi.
The tusk was carefully excavated and transported to the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science
for preservation and study.
This discovery provides a unique glimpse into the region's prehistoric past, highlighting
the rich geological history of Mississippi.
And in entertainment news, Van Aflac and Matt Damon have acquired a screenplay titled Killing
Gawker, which explores billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel's campaign to take
down the media outfit for posting excerpts from a Hulk Hogan sex tape.
The film is based on a book detailing the 2016 court case, where Hogan won a $140 million
judgment against a Gawker editor, founder Nick Denton, and Gawker itself.
Aflac is rumored to play the famed wrestler, though no casting has been announced yet.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the 32nd president, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
And he said,
There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
