 Every Thursday Main Street Oceanside hosts two markets that shut down half of Pier View Way in order to bring fun, food and more to Oceanside. The Farmer’s Market, which is Thursday morning from 9:00-1:00, features fresh local produce all year around. In addition there are beautiful flowers and other nursery items grown locally. Merchants set up shop who have many homemade fresh goods as well which ranges from baked goods to honey, salsa, hummus, olive oils and so much more to dip in and add to your favorite foods. The food is definitely the draw of the morning Farmer’s market but there are also dozens of craft booths set up as well. Many of these booths feature handmade clothing in addition to photography and other types of art. Lastly there are hot food booths as well and some are outsourced from our favorite local restaurants; the crepes are a fan favorite! The Sunset Market is Thursday evenings from 5:00-9:00 all year ‘round...   At its April 22, 2015, meeting, the MiraCosta College Board of Trustees appointed and swore in Frank Merchat as trustee for Area 4, representing Carlsbad.
Merchat is founder and manager of Night Oak, LLC, a multistate commercial real estate company based in Carlsbad. He has served five years as a member of the MiraCosta College Foundation and holds a bachelor’s degree in finance from San Diego State University.  April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and the MiraCosta College student club NAMI On Campus (National Alliance on Mental Illness) is hosting several activities to raise awareness of this type of assault.
The National Violence Against Women Prevention Research Center at the Medical University of South Carolina estimates that potentially 3.8 million women in the U.S. suffer from rape-related PTSD, many of whom do not speak up due to the stigma associated with it. NAMI is sponsoring these events in an effort to assist those victims who may feel unsupported within our community.

Victor B. is an artist. He creates all of his artwork using just a handful of colored pencils, paper and months of focus. Victor also lives with a developmental disability. Many people do not know that some of the best artists today deal with some form of disability. Such is the case for 23-year-old Victor, who moved to the United States from Mexico 10 years ago and has used art to communicate his thoughts to the world—and the results are stunning. Victor has created numerous artworks; his most recent was a six-foot-wide panoramic landscape depicting a church in his hometown of Pueblo, Mexico. The piece includes detailed illustrations of Catholic saints and popular Mexican celebrities surrounded by thousands of colorful flowers. |
