Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Thursday, September 4th. You'll be interested
to know. 137 years ago, today in 1888, George
Eastman received a patent for his roll film camera
and registered the trademark Kodak, a moment
that democratized photography by making it accessible
to everyone. and sparked a revolution in visual
storytelling. This invention, celebrated as a
triumph of human ingenuity, transformed how people
capture memories, document history, and share
experiences, inspiring generations of photographers
and innovators. So now you know. And now, it's
time for the Surf Report. Thursday in Encinitas.

news, if you have noticed a sudden influx of
election mailers in your mailbox, you are not
alone. A father was supposed to be free of elections
has turned into a big and expensive political
fight centered on redistricting. Congressman
Darrell Issa represents a district that previously
voted for President Donald Trump by more than
15 percentage points. But two well -known challengers,
Amarkampa Nanjar and San Diego City Councilmember
Marni von Wilbert, are now lining up to run against
him. In about five weeks, voters will decide
whether to adopt a new map advanced by Governor
Gavin Newsom, which could significantly change
district lines. This battle is drawing millions
of dollars with Netflix founder Reed Hastings
donating heavily to support Newsom's plan. Now
onto sports. Who will define the 2025 fantasy
football season? Our featured pros revealed their
expert predictions for players likely to appear
on championship -winning rosters this year. These
insights highlight breakout stars, draft values,
and league winners that experts believe will
be the backbone of title teams. Among them, Christian
McCaffrey is projected to be the most rostered
player, while others like Tetero McMillan and
Braylon Allen are also expected to shine. As
we look ahead, predictions for top players in
2026 are also discussed, emphasizing the importance
of strategic drafting. Tonight, the NFL season
kicks off on NBC in Peacock. At 8 .20 Eastern
Time, the Cowboys are at the Eagles, with the
Eagles favored by 8 .5 and the over -under set
at 47 .5. Coach Nick Sirianni, a lifelong football
enthusiast, surprisingly admitted he was unaware
of the team's Super Bowl championship banner
unveiling before the opener against the Dallas
Cowboys. While the Eagles have focused on the
current season, wide receiver A .J. Brown emphasized
their readiness to move forward. With powerhouse
players like Hertz and Brown, the Eagles are
favorites to win another Super Bowl, while the
Cowboys face challenges after trading star -ed
rusher Micah Parsons in local sports. Yesterday
afternoon at Petco Park, the Padres lost to the
Orioles 7 -5 to complete the three -game series
sweep. Orioles pitcher Kavich earned the win
with five innings, seven hits, four earned runs,
and three strikeouts, while Padres -Cortez took
the loss after two and one -third innings. Tatis
Jr. homered for the Friars, while the Orioles
hit four home runs, including Holliday and Jackson.
The Padres finished with 10 hits, one error,
and six runners left on base. San Diego's record
is now 76 -64. Tomorrow night, the Padres face
the Rockies at Coors Field in Denver for Game
1 of a three -game series. The Padres pitcher
has yet to be determined. Kyle Freeland starts
for Colorado with a record of 3 -14 and a 5 .41
earned run average. First pitch is at 5 .40 under
clear skies with a temperature around 69 degrees.
In top news, this low calorie ingredient could
be contributing to cognitive decline, a study
finds. Some sugar substitutes, like those in
diet soda and ultra -processed stacks, could
have consequences for long -term brain health,
according to a study published Wednesday in Neurology.
Scientists found that the consumption of low
and no -calorie sweeteners was associated with
faster cognitive decline. The study followed
more than 12 ,700 adults from Brazil for a median
of eight years. Participants completed cognitive
tests every four years, revealing that middle
-aged people under 60 years old who consumed
the highest amount of sweeteners showed faster
declines in overall thinking and memory skills.
Researchers found the link to faster cognitive
decline was stronger in people with diabetes
than those without. Sumoto emphasized the importance
of understanding any association with brain imaging.

mining company, with their stake valued at over
$1 .5 billion after its stock debut. Shares in
American Bitcoin Corporation soared to $14 on
its first trading day, closing at $8, up 16 .5%.
Eric Trump dismissed conflict of interest criticisms
as insane, stating his father is running a nation
and is not involved in their business ventures.
The Trump family has launched several crypto
ventures, including World Liberty Financial,
which has earned around $500 million since last
year. Eric Trump has traveled internationally
to rally support for the crypto industry. Well,
alrighty, folks. It's time for the quote of the
day. And today, our quote comes from the American
photographer and environmentalist, Ansel Adams.

make it, highlighting the transformative power
of photography in capturing and shaping human
experiences. And that's a wrap for this morning.
