ENCINITAS — A cyclist was killed Nov. 28 in a collision with a vehicle at an Encinitas intersection, authorities said.

The collision happened at about 11:49 a.m. when a cyclist was struck by a vehicle that was turning right from westbound Leucadia Boulevard to Moonstone Court, according to Deputy Eric Rader of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.

Bystanders gave medical aid to the victim, Rader said.

The injured cyclist was taken by ambulance to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, where he died of his injuries, the deputy said.

Deputies with the department's Traffic Accident Reconstruction Team are investigating the accident.

North County resort, airline entrepreneur Ted Vallas dies at 99

By Jordan P. Ingram & Steve Puterski

REGION — Longtime Encinitas resident and entrepreneur Theodore Lambro “Ted” Vallas died of heart failure on Nov. 13 at Scripps Memorial Hospital in Encinitas, according to a family spokesperson.

He was 99 years old.

“June, Tee and the entire Vallas family are overwhelmed by the heartwarming response from Ted’s friends, business associates and family members,” a family spokesper-

son told The Coast News.

Vallas was born on March 11, 1921, in Pocatello, Idaho.

In high school, Vallas was a standout basketball, football and baseball player, according to his 2009 s e l f - p u b - VALLAS lished memoir, “Life is an Opportunity.”

Upon graduation in 1940, Vallas enlisted in the

Navy’s aviation program.

During World War II, he served as a gunner and radioman in a Douglas TBD Devastator, a carrier-based torpedo bomber on the USS Wasp.

After three years of fighting in the Pacific Theater, Vallas earned the title of chief petty officer.

In 1946, Vallas enrolled at the New England College in New Hampshire to play football and baseball.

After two years, Vallas had a brief stint at the

University of New Mexico before enrolling at Balboa University (now California Western School of Law).

During his time at Balboa, his baseball career flourished after a chance meeting with Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Hank Greenberg, who worked for the Cleveland Indians.

Later, Vallas nearly signed with the San Diego Padres, a minor-league affiliate of the Indians at the time.

Eventually, Vallas left

baseball for a more lucrative career as an entrepreneur, going on to own several resorts and country clubs, including El Camino (currently featuring a tribute to Vallas in the lobby), Whispering Palms (Morgan Run), Imperial Valley (Barbara Worth) and Olympic Resort in Carlsbad and Palm Desert.

Additionally, Vallas developed country clubs in England, France, Portugal Holland and Morocco, according to his book.

He also owned two avia-

tion companies that operated out of Carlsbad, including Air Resort Airlines and California Pacific Airlines.

The future of California Pacific remains unclear.

Vallas is survived by June, his wife of 67 years; his son Theodore “Tee” Vallas, of Carlsbad; brother Charles Vallas, 103, of Florida; brother Larry Vallas, 98, of Oceanside; and sister Vangie Pemberton, 96, of Spokane, Washington. Vallas had two younger sisters, Peggy and Helen, both of whom predeceased him.

Black Friday local shopping trends flipped

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — Black Friday had a different tone this year.

Typically, Black Friday is chaotic with massive lines, big deals and fights, but this season was changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and more people going online to get Black Friday deals. And while most of the data from Carlsbad and surrounding areas is still out, the pandemic may have altered how the biggest retail week of the year moves forward, according to Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce President and Chief Executive Officer Bret Schanzenbach.

The pandemic reversed the normal trends, although residents still hit the stores to sniff out those Christmas sales, he said. But most retailers, especially small and local businesses, went allin with their online deals to compete with Amazon and big-box outfits such as Walmart and Target.

“For years we saw the trend move and encroach more and more on the national holiday of Thanksgiving,” Schanzenbach said.

“With COVID, we saw the opposite. All the big retailers were closed. It was more like a Black Friday week.”

The annual tradition of big online deals the Monday after Thanksgiving, known as Cyber Monday, appeared to run counter to tradition, meaning those businesses ramped up their efforts before the holiday to compete with the bigger retail outlets and marketplaces.

In Carlsbad Village, foot traffic was down for Small Business Saturday, but people still rallied to support their local businesses, according to Carlsbad Village Association(CVA) Executive Director Christine Davis.

While no records were broken, she said the smaller businesses were able to redirect some sales to their online platforms.

Davis said most have pivoted to increase their online presence due to in-store restrictions from the pandemic. And although times have been tough, those small businesses are refusing to quit, she said.

“The businesses are holding on and not many are holding up the white flag of surrender,” Davis said.

“There is a lot of tenacity.”

Schanzenbach said Cyber Monday wasn’t as big of a deal due to how the pandemic changed the whole week. On Black Friday, however, he said there was a noticeable drop with in-person shoppers and lines were non-existent at two big-box retailers.

Davis said the difference in the Village is they have a loyal customer base.

“I was impressed with the amount of support and pride everyone had in downtown Carlsbad,” she said. “It was nice to see.”

On Dec. 5, the CVA is hosting its Maker’s Market at St. Michael’s by-the-Sea Episcopal Church.

Leucadia 101 to host virtual art auction

By Caitlin Steinberg

ENCINITAS — This holiday season, Leucadia 101 Mainstreet Association will host “Collective Introspection,” its first virtual art auction featuring over 12 local artists showcasing painting, ceramics, photography and local beer for auction.

In addition to bidding on original art pieces, shoppers can purchase reproductions printed on posters and notecard sets as well as limited edition holiday six-packs of beer from local breweries any time between Dec. 4 to 11 through the Leucadia 101 (L101).

Executive Director Annika Walden stressed the association’s dedication to supporting local businesses and artists, saying the upcoming holiday retail season called for creativity on the part of the L101.

“Leucadia is known as the ‘art and soul of Encinitas’ and we wanted to bring local art to our community during the holidays, especially because we chose to forgo our beloved annual LeucadiART Walk this summer,” Walden said.

“We are thrilled to contin-

ue our long-standing support of local artists and hope the community will bid generously to support them as well.”

Participating artist Pepa Ivanoff believes the auction’s title, “Collective Introspection,” relates not only to the local fine art community but to the world as a whole.

“Introspection is about looking within and understanding yourself,” Ivanoff said. “I believe that during COVID a lot of us have be-

gun to think more collectively.”

Ivanoff, a painter, mural artist and graphic designer, moved to Leucadia 16 years ago from her native country of Australia.

In keeping with the introspection theme, her auction piece is a stand-alone painted Flamingo installation.

“For me, the flamingo represents accepting yourself and accepting where you are in life,” Ivanoff said. “Don’t be afraid to stand out. Don’t be afraid

to be a flamingo amongst a flock of pigeons.”

LaMonte Lamoreaux, a featured Cardiff painter, sees the art showcased as unique symbols of a defining moment in the country, auctioning his own painting titled, “Coastal Kin.” “I was inspired by the community of wonderful people, friends and neighbors that really want to work together to reopen the schools and keep businesses open,” Lamoreaux said. “My piece is about the community we live in and the ocean we are drawn to.”

Like many creatives, both Lamoreaux and Ivanoff have found themselves inspired to experiment and expand their creative processes as a result of the additional time at home during the pandemic.

“I’m raising two little girls in Cardiff and this is what we do a lot now,” Lamoreaux said. “We’re painting and creating a lot together, laughing a lot together and that is reflected in my style.”

According to Walden, the virtual auction’s success will determine whether L101 will host additional

virtual events supporting local creatives in the coming year.

“Our artists have been left out of the conversation since COVID,” Walden said. “Anything [L101] can do to help the community out, even if just a little bit, we’re going to do it” All pieces featured in “Collective Introspection,” including original works of art, posters, as well as sixpacks holiday beer will be available for pick up at the Leucadia 101 office Dec. 16 to 17 from 12 to 6 p.m.

Featured artists include Jonny Alexander, Jack Antal, Loryn Cook, Laura Fischer, Chase Hartman, Pepa Ivanoff, Kate Joiner, Joel Kaneshiro, Roy Kerckhoffs, Troy Kingman, Kuni Kobashi, LaMonte Lamoureux, Jeannine Moeder, Laurie Nasica, Zach Smith and Charley Taylor with bidding beginning between $85 to $250.

Bids on holiday sixpacks start at $15 and feature Duck Foot Brewing Co., Guthrie CiderWorks, Local Roots, Luna Bay Booch, Rosé Water, Saint Archer Brewing, Tiny Bubbles and Topo Chico.

Blood Bank seeks convalescent plasma as COVID cases rise

By City News Service

REGION — As coronavirus cases and hospitalizations continue to spike in San Diego County and across the country, the San Diego Blood Bank put out another plea Dec. 2 for donations of COVID-19 convalescent plasma used to treat patients battling the illness.

According to the blood bank, orders for the plasma — taken from the blood

of those who developed antibodies upon recovering from the virus — have tripled in the last month, as have hospitalizations.

San Diego Blood Bank was one of the first blood banks in the country to begin collecting COVID-19 convalescent plasma.

In addition to supplying local hospitals, the blood bank has supported surge centers and other blood

banks across the country.

Anyone previously diagnosed with COVID-19 can sign up at sandiegobloodbank.org/donateplasma.

All blood donations are being tested for antibodies as part of the blood bank’s standard testing panel to qualify donations for COVID-19 convalescent plasma.

If a donation tests positive, the plasma in the do-

nated blood may be used to help hospital patients fighting COVID-19.

Historically, convalescent plasma has been successfully used to treat SARS, MERS and the Spanish flu, so there is evidence that it may help people suffering from certain infectious diseases like COVID-19.

“We need anyone who has recovered from

COVID-19 to contact us to see if they are eligible to donate their plasma,” said David Wellis, CEO of the San Diego Blood Bank.

“The need has already increased over the last couple of weeks and we anticipate even more requests from hospitals as we head into the new year.”

Appointments are required to donate blood and convalescent plasma.

Exciting city updates as ’21 nears

T

he last several weeks have been a roller coaster for all of us, with the ups and downs of the election followed by worry and anxiety about the current surge in coronavirus infections.

It’s critical that here in Encinitas we continue to do our part to avoid large gatherings, wear our masks, physically distance, and keep ourselves and others well.

The city is diligently following all state and county guidelines, while doing everything possible to support our local business community as they weather this extremely difficult period.

The challenges and opportunities facing the City of Encinitas go on, with exciting prospects for building a better future here at home.

Just around the corner, 2021 beckons.

Here are some recent developments: Designing the future of El Camino Real corridor

The city recently approved the acceptance of a $300,000 state grant to create an El Camino Real Corridor Specific Plan, which will allow the community to plan for future residential and commercial uses in this corridor.

As the city’s staff report stated: “Existing conditions of the El Camino Real Corridor include a series of commercial (strip mall-style plazas) with varying depths and uses.

Several buildings and uses … were developed prior to the incorporation of the City (before 1986), and as such create inconsistencies of development from adjacent properties and uses.”

The Specific Plan will lay out how future residential and commercial uses will function and work together.

mayor’s minute catherine blakespear The public outreach portion has not yet started, but community leaders and engaged citizens will take a strong role in helping the city create a holistic plan for this corridor to allow the area to evolve in ways that meet the community's needs.

Cannabis is coming

Encinitas voters appear to have approved Measure H by a slim margin, allowing up to four stores that sell cannabis products and a full supply chain, from growing to cannabis kitchens, manufacturing to sales. At this writing, the measure has garnered 19,962 votes in favor to 19,077 opposed (51% to 49%).

Recognizing the will of our voters, the city's elected leadership and professional staff will implement Measure H. Interestingly, a cannabis initiative in Solana Beach failed 62% to 38%.

Given that the election results are not yet certified the city does not have a process established for accepting applications or locations but future details will be forthcoming.

Encinitas continues environmental leadership

The city approved an update to our Climate Action Plan, lauded by more than 20 speakers including members of the Climate Action Campaign and other environmentalists.

The city’s environmental commission also unanimously favored it.

Some of the highlights include more bike parking, better data tracking to

document transportation choices before and after a project, electrification in new construction and a municipal telecommute policy, among other things.

In coming months we’ll be unveiling a program for your home food waste to be diverted from the landfill and placed into the green bins currently used exclusively for yard waste.

We’ll also be officially launching our Community Choice Energy program, providing electricity sourced from 100% renewable sources. This is exciting!

At the Dec. 9 City Council meeting the election results will be certified and the re-elected members will take the oath of office.

This meeting is usually festive, however, the Zoom format won’t easily substitute for the feeling of energy in the room.

It appears that all the same City Council members will remain on the City Council, a happy outcome.

On Dec. 9 at 6 p.m., the City Council will introduce a new density bonus ordinance being driven by requirements in state law, and we’ll discuss providing more aid to small businesses as part of the CARES Act funding.

At this holiday time I'm feeling grateful for you, the residents of Encinitas, and the opportunity to resume writing these newsy columns as your Encinitas Mayor now that the election is behind us!

The promise of COVID-19 vaccines on their way has shown us the light at the end of the tunnel.

Even though this holiday season has been more difficult than others, I hope that it will inspire memories of this unusual timeout-of-time that we’re all experiencing together.

Catherine Blakespear is the Mayor of Encinitas.

t is well established that wearing face masks confers a high degree of protection from the coronavirus plague on both wearers and those around them. Plenty of documentation shows social distancing also helps, as do frequent hand washing, good ventilation and disinfecting surfaces that are frequently touched.

Also effective are quarantines of new arrivals from other states and countries, as well as isolating those with positive COVID-19 test results.

But as infections of the virus accelerated across California this fall, some other tactics ordered by authorities like Gov. Gavin Newsom, the state health department and most county health officers looked a lot like guesswork, seemingly flailing at the virus without much science to back the moves.

Justifiably desperate to keep hospital beds and front-line personnel available and healthy in the face of advancing infection rates and hospital admissions, these officials mandated sweeping lifestyle changes in at least 41 counties with 94% of Californians.

It’s unknown whether the new measures can do what once was called “flattening the curve.” No one knows if the current, almost statewide 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew will slow infection. One thing for certain: It won’t achieve much if it’s not enforced, and many county sheriffs from Los Angeles to Sacramento and beyond are not bothering.

None has been disciplined yet for such scofflaw practices.

That’s because of uncertainty over the curfew’s efficacy. Authorities also say much of the recent COVID-19 spread stems from family gatherings large and small, from weddings to Thanksgiving din-

california focus

thomas d. elias

ners to relatives watching TV together. Curfews won’t touch that.

Plus, no one has reliably measured how much of the spread can be traced to such gatherings if attendees were masked. Which raises the question of whether some of what we hear from health authorities stems not from reality, but from theories taught in graduate epidemiology classes.

It’s a one-size-fits-all approach unjust to areas where folks have not crowded mask-free into bars and nightclubs.

Things are similar with restaurants and gyms, mostly closed to indoor activity since mid-July. This also is a sweeping approach that ignores vast differences in how safely these businesses operated. Some gyms, for example, installed thorough ventilation systems while they were shuttered between mid-March and late June.

Many gyms also limited occupancy when they reopened for a while in the summer, sanitizing machines and weights hourly, while requiring all users to wear masks.

But one-size-fits-all rule makers re-closed conscientious businesses at the next disease surge right along with irresponsible outfits. Regular inspections could have determined which ones might safely stay open and which should not, but this did not happen.

It’s similar for restaurants, where authorities months ago banned indoor dining in most counties, but later allowed outdoor service. One November report indicated just 3.5% of

all infections successfully contact-traced in California originated in restaurants.

Yet, as infection rates and hospitalizations spiked during the late fall, all outdoor dining was ordered to close in many areas, including Los Angeles County, the state’s biggest population center.

That county’s health director said inspectors found at least 80% of eateries serving in open air did not socially distance their tables properly. So all restaurants were closed. How fair is this to the 20% that lost money by separating tables widely for the sake of social distance?

Plus, the wholesale restaurant closings put several hundred thousand persons out of work, some of that toll probably unnecessarily.

The well-meaning but autocratic health officials now serving as benevolent dictators under various laws for dealing with emergencies believe what they impose does save lives.

Could they save those same lives if they enforced their rules mainly on businesses that ignore safety procedures, rather than on everyone?

Meanwhile, hope is now widespread that an impending mass vaccination campaign can end this crisis and the unfairness it has inflicted as officials flailed at a situation no active medical professional had previously experienced.

And after it ends, lawmakers at every level from county boards to Congress must reexamine emergency laws and make appropriate changes to create new rules hinging on information, not speculation and untested theory. If they don’t, we will have learned nothing from this year’s very painful experiences.

Transit district to upgrade railroad signaling equipment

By Dan Brendel

DEL MAR — The North County Transit District (NCTD), a public agency, will soon upgrade certain railroad signaling and monitoring equipment, some for the first time in decades, though plans for future capital replacement remains uncertain.

NCTD aims to deploy the majority of $33 million of federal, state and local grants over the next several years toward upgrading train and crossing control systems. Such systems include signals, switches, gates, bells and lights.

The district also plans to install wireless monitoring and emergency communications equipment in Del Mar and near Miramar, though it hasn’t yet identified funding for this project.

NCTD, governed by North County elected municipal officials, operates rail, bus and shuttle services. Its FY 2020 operating budget weighs in at $117 million. About three-quarters of its operating revenues come from federal, state and local subsidies, the remainder from passenger fares and other generated income.

“A lot of these projects will be the first … we’ve done on the Coaster [a regional commuter] corridor since we purchased it from BNSF.” In 1992, NCTD Executive Director Matthew

Tucker told the board of directors at its Nov. 19 meeting, “I'm hoping that the next time we have to deal with this is 15 to 20 years from now.”

“Some of the equipment has been upgraded as part of specific projects,” but this, “Will be the first

… corridor-wide approach to signal modernization,” NCTD spokeswoman Kimy Wall told The Coast News.

Regarding planning for the next round of capital replacement, Tucker said, “The key is going to be … knowing what the [equipment] vendors are

doing,” in terms of fielding new technology. “Then hopefully [we’ll have] enough time to be able to fund it.”

“NCTD has more than $1 billion in unfunded capital needs,” Wall said.

“NCTD, like all transit agencies, does not receive

sufficient funding to complete all replacement and state-of-good-repair projects along the optimal replacement schedule.

Accordingly, NCTD must prioritize capital expenditures.”

However, “NCTD conducts condition as-

sessments and preventive maintenance activities to ensure that all assets can be safely operated within regulatory requirements,” she said.

The Coaster’s crossing and train control systems are 71% and 45% obsolete, respectively. The Sprinter line uses 1990s technology, according to Signal Manager Zachary Taylor “Obsolete does not mean unsafe,” but rather the equipment “Is no longer supported by the manufacturer… they're no longer creating spare components,” he said. In upgrading systems, NCTD hopes to move “Towards predictive analytics,” using data to forecast “problems before they occur.”

NCTD plans signal upgrades at numerous locations, including nine in the Carlsbad area in 2022 and two in Encinitas and Del Mar in 2023.

Wireless equipment installed near Del Mar and Miramar would complete a systemwide network for monitoring the tracks and communicating with railcars in the event of an emergency.

Del Mar and Miramar are, “Two critical safety areas where we need more camera visibility,” Tucker said. “Oftentimes at Miramar, if we’re having a significant rain event, we're having to deploy someone to stand out there.”

Coronavirus County reports 1,217 COVID-19 cases, 16 deaths as holidays near

By City News Service

REGION — San Diego County health officials reported 1,217 new COVID-19 cases and 16 additional deaths Wednesday as county leaders urged caution heading into the holiday season.

Wednesday’s data raise the county’s totals to 84,638 cases and 1,035 deaths while hospitalizations continue to surge.

The San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency reported that 739 coronavirus patients were hospitalized as of Wednesday, with 209 of them in intensive care. That compares to 723 reported Tuesday, with 197 in the ICU. The number of people with COVID-19 in area hospitals has nearly tripled from one month ago — 288 were hospitalized on Nov. 1.

The 739 is also double the previous peak in mid July.

Of the 84,638 cases logged in the county since the start of the pandemic, 4,726 — or 5.6% — have required hospitalization and 1,038 patients — 1.2% — had to be admitted to an ICU. The total number of people hospitalized for any reason in the county is 4,448 — fairly consistent with the past several months — but the percentage of COVID-19 patients in the region’s hospitals rose from 6% a month

ago to 16.6% on Wednesday.

Dr. Wilma Wooten, the county’s public health officer, also raised attention to 77% occupancy of the county’s ICU beds. Of the 696 ICU beds in the county, 538 are currently occupied — 209 by coronavirus patients, or 39%.

San Diego County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher offered a chilling reminder that statistics on COVID-19 are delayed due to the virus’ incubation period.

“We expect this to get

worse before it gets better,’’ he said.

Supervisor Greg Cox urged county residents to take the pandemic seriously, even as we get closer to winter holidays.

“This is not the year for caroling, this is not the year for ugly sweater contests,’’ he said.

While an influx of cases tied to Thanksgiving gatherings has not been seen yet, both supervisors thanked the majority of families for staying safe during the hol-

iday.

Fletcher also advised religious followers to worship outdoors and maintain distance.

On Saturday, the county broke its previous policy of not revealing the locations of community outbreaks by announcing Awaken Church on Balboa Avenue was the site of a community outbreak, and asked those who attended in-person services from Nov. 15-22 to quarantine for 14 days and monitor for COVID-19 symptoms. The church has continued to hold indoor religious services in violation of county orders.

On Wednesday, the county expanded its outbreak advisory to include two other locations of the church, 1760 Descanso Ave. in San Marcos and 861 Showroom Place in Chula Vista. County officials are advising anyone who attended services at those churches between Nov. 15-22 to get tested for COVID-19. As of Wednesday, the three outbreaks constitute 64 cases.

“We recognize the role religion and faith play in people’s lives, particularly in trying times,’’ Fletcher said. “But the building does

not constitute the faith.’’

Wednesday marked the 22nd consecutive day more than 600 new cases have been reported and the 10th day of the last 13 more than 1,000 new cases were reported — including two days over the Thanksgiving weekend with more than 1,800 new infections.

A total of 21,701 tests were reported Wednesday, with 6% returning positive, raising the 14-day average to 6.3%.

On Tuesday night, San Diego State University confirmed it was canceling its normal five-day spring break and instead giving students four “rest and recovery days’’ scattered throughout the spring semester — on Feb. 12, March 8, March 30 and April 15.

These days are intended to provide mental health breaks for students and faculty during the pandemic.

According to a university statement, “rest and recovery days are specifically designated for no instruction, no assignments, no deadlines and no exams.

Office hours, meetings and committee obligations will be suspended during each rest and recovery day.’’

A total of 17 community outbreaks were confirmed Tuesday. Over the previous seven days, 81 community outbreaks were confirmed.

A community outbreak is defined as three or more COVID-19 cases in a setting and in people of different households over the past 14 days.

San Diego County fell deeper into the most-restrictive purple tier of the state’s four-tiered reopening plan on Tuesday, with an unadjusted 30.5 new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people.

Even with an adjusted rate of 15.3 per 100,000 due to significant testing increases by local health authorities, that number far exceeds the strictest tier’s baseline of seven daily cases per 100,000.

The testing positivity percentage is 2.3%, keeping it in the orange tier for that metric.

REGION — UC San Diego is boosting its coronavirus testing efforts and increasing the number of samples taken for wastewater early detection, among other efforts to prevent the spread of the virus on campus, university leaders announced today.

UCSD calls its combined pandemic safety efforts the Return to Learn program, a suite of education, monitoring, testing, intervention and notification tools intended to keep students and faculty on campus safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“While UC San Diego is one of the few colleges in the nation with low rates of infection and a large student body on campus, the

university remains vigilant to reduce transmission of virus in our community to the greatest extent possible,” UCSD Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla said. “Our multilayered strategy provides resiliency along many dimensions of the Return to Learn plan.”

UCSD has nearly 10,000 students living on campus and thousands more living off campus. The university has maintained an average positivity rate between 0.17% and 0.43% among on- and off-campus students during its fall quarter. San Diego County’s average positivity rate was between 2.7% and 6.1% in that same time frame.

One way UCSD is expanding detection is increasing the number of wastewater sampler locations.

The campus first started monitoring wastewater outflow in summer with six wastewater samplers and expanded to 52 samplers on Nov. 22. The additional samplers cover more than 100 residential buildings. In the coming months, the campus will have up to 200 samplers online to cover the entire campus.

“This wastewater testing system is a way to stay one step ahead of the virus on campus at a time when there is increasing viral activity in the county,” said Return to Learn project colead Natasha Martin, associate professor of medicine at UCSD School of Medicine.

“With wastewater, we are essentially running pooled testing of every student in the monitored buildings every day. The critical part program is that when we get a positive wastewater signal, we notify those in the buildings draining wastewater into the manhole where we detected the positive signal, and we encourage them to come in and get tested.

Those who are positive can move into isolation housing.’’

The new samplers detected traces of the novel coronavirus coming from nine different areas on campus on Nov. 23 and Nov. 28. The university notified residents and more than 700 students were tested.

As of Nov. 30, three students were identified as shedding virus in buildings covered by the alert, likely contributing to three of the nine different areas which detected traces of the novel coronavirus.

The university will continue to monitor the areas where active virus was recently detected to see if the traces have been eliminated. UCSD has set aside 604 units in two separate buildings for quarantine and isolation housing.

Martin says that if an individual tests negative on Monday and somehow picks up the virus on Tuesday, UC San Diego can detect it that day through wastewater surveillance.

MiraCosta College poised to weather budget constraints

By Dan Brendel

OCEANSIDE — MiraCosta College, a North County community college district, faces various budget pressures as it proceeds into FY 2020-21, though a healthy fund balance and favorable borrowing conditions may lend resilience.

The district’s annual primary operating budget, which the elected board of trustees unanimously adopted Oct. 15, weighs in at $137 million. That’s on par with the City of Oceanside’s General Fund budget and double Encinitas’.

MiraCosta’s budget, a 6% increase on actual expenditures last year, takes into account slowing property tax revenue growth, rising pension and healthcare costs, and COVID-related deferrals of state funds, administrators say.

The district, which runs four campuses serving a total enrollment of over 20,000 students, derives the lion’s share of its funding from property taxes — this year, about 86%, according to an Oct. 8 budget meeting.

Administrators portend that revenue stream’s annual growth rate could halve in coming years, down from 5.9% in FY 2019-20 to 3% in FY 2024-25.

Growing employer contribution rates to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, CalPERS, will put “tremendous pressure on rising costs of salaries and benefits,” according to the district’s budget document.

Between CalPERS and the California State Teachers’ Retirement System, CalSTERS, staff see MiraCosta’s pension costs rising 40%, from about $12 million presently to $17 million by FY 2024-25.

Healthcare costs are also growing, especially due to COVID. MiraCosta budgeted a 9% increase in premiums this year, and then another 15% next year.

“We would have seen a 30% increase in Kaiser rates this year, but they’re capped

at 15%,” V.P. of Administrative Services Tim Flood told trustees Oct. 8.

While not literally prohibiting increases of 15% or more, federal regulations require that insurers publicly justify certain increases of such magnitude. If a state review finds a rate hike “unreasonable” and the insurer refuses to lower it, the insurer must notify health plan members of the finding, according to California’s Department of Managed Health Care.

MiraCosta administrators assume annual rate increases will return to a more normal 4% by FY 2023-24.

To help balance its budget, COVID having gutted revenues, the state deferred certain funding for community colleges.

“We're not optimistic about recouping our money” in the next two years, Superintendent Sunita Cooke told trustees.

Pre-COVID, state funds comprised 7% of MiraCosta’s primary operating revenues.

Overall, administrators expect budget shortfalls totaling roughly $7 million over the next three years, which they’ll plug by drawing down the General Fund balance.

MiraCosta ended FY 2019-20 with a fund balance equal to 25% of expenditures. A few years of deficits will reduce that proportion to 17% by FY 2024-25, closer to the trustee’s target of 15%.

The district maintains AAA ratings from Moody’s and S&P. In September the district issued $255 million in capital improvement bonds — the second tranche of $455 million taxpayers approved in 2016 as Measure MM — at a $28 million premium.

The bonds will fund a slew of new facilities and upgrades — for example, new student service and administrative buildings, new parking lots and a new chemistry and biotech building.

MORE THAN 100 residents participated in “Lisa’s Walk” on Nov. 28 at Hosp Grove Park in remembrance of Lisa Thorborg, 68, who was fatally stabbed last week in the Carlsbad park. Photo by Steve Puterski

Residents honor woman killed on hiking trail

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — One week after police discovered the body of 68-yearold Lisa Thorborg on Nov. 23 at Hosp Grove Park, more than 100 Carlsbad residents came together to honor her life.

“Lisa’s Walk" was organized by Angela Derby, who invited residents of all ages (wearing masks) to walk and bring flowers to remember Thorborg, who was found stabbed to death last week on a hiking trail near the 2600 block of Monroe Street in Carlsbad.

The group met at Hosp Grove Trail East, laid flowers on the path where Thorborg’s body was found, Derby said. Thorborg’s sonin-law, Derek Andre, briefly spoke to a small group of locals who said a prayer for Thorborg. Andre told the group the family wanted to convey a message of "being good to each other."

Andre posted on Nextdoor saying his mother-inlaw would have loved the affection.

“What a beautiful gesture the walk with you all was this morning,” Andre said. “I know Lisa would have been very touched

and felt the love. Let’s please all take care of each other and be kind to each other in this time of grief and healing.”

Thorborg, a widow and native of Sweden, recently moved to Carlsbad with her daughters and their husbands, Derby told The Coast News. Shy by nature, Thorborg posted to Nextdoor on Nov. 11 asking if anyone wanted to join her for a walk.

Twelve days later, an unknown person fatally stabbed her between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., according to Carlsbad police. Law enforcement is currently investigating Thorborg's death but no arrests have been made.

“We wanted to make our presence known and seen,” Derby said, adding that many people have started phone trees and walking in groups. “It was something to finish her walk and be there for the family.”

Judy Bliss, a 20-year Carlsbad resident, spoke of fear and uneasiness within the community following Thorborg's death.

However, Bliss said the community gathering sent

a message to area residents that the community will not tolerate this type of violence.

Bonnie Schmiege, 69, who lives alone neara the trails, said she had passed Thorborg several times while walking at Hosp Grove and they exchanged friendly waves.

Schmiege said she hoped the walk showed the community’s support for the family.

“I walk that same loop maybe five times a week,” Schmiege said.

“This makes me very anxious now because we don’t know who this was. I’m leery about going on it now, or at least until someone is found.”

As for the investigation, the CPD received a tip about a man who may have been in the area around the time of Thorborg's death. The man was described as a white

or Hispanic adult, 5-foot, 10-inches, husky build with a tan complexion and dark hair.

He was seen wearing a black shirt and shorts and possibly a black hat, walking with a slight limp or shuffle. If you have any information related to this case, contact Lt. Jason Jackowski at 760-931-2218.

La Costa corridor residents brace for flood of developments

By Caitlin Steinberg

ENCINITAS — Another 72-unit development has been announced for Northern Leucadia at the corner of La Costa and N Vulcan Avenues, prompting fierce opposition from residents fearful of upcoming developments’ impacts on outdated traffic infrastructure.

The complex is one of five large developments slated to break ground in coming years in the corridor intersecting La Costa Avenue, the N Coast Highway and the 5 freeway.

The location of Matteson’s Florist and home of the locally known “Jesus Christ is Lord” sign, the property was purchased by Wermers Properties, a San Diego based multi-family real estate developer.

According to Wermers, the development will include a total of 72 for-lease apartment homes, 111 parking spaces, a game plaza, clubroom, gym, outdoor entertaining spaces and a pet spa spanning a total of 97,909 square feet at 1967 N. Vulcan Ave. Of the 72 units, 60 will be “market-rate” and 12 will be “low-income” residential units as per state requirements.

The property has yet to be seen by the city’s Planning, Traffic and Safety Commissions or be issued Coastal Development and Design Review permits. It is still in its own community outreach and development phase, seeking input from local residents at a Citizen Participation Program (CPP) meeting on Nov. 20.

with the development, attended Wermers’ CPP meeting as well as an additional meeting on Nov. 16 between Mayor Catherine Blakespear, Councilmember Tony Kranz and over 60 concerned residents.

Citizen-run groups such as Leucadia Cares and NOW Leucadia are fearful the region’s upcoming developments will overwhelm current traffic infrastructure. As is, La Costa Avenue is a two-lane road without sidewalks or adjacent parking.

Residents fear a consistent influx of traffic will cause an unsafe environment for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.

“We’re not opposed to properties being developed

more densely,” Lyons said.

“This is about whether or not this can be done safely from a traffic standpoint.”

According to the planning documents released by the City to Leucadia NOW, Wermers said the development requires a four-lane road for safe transportation, however the city of Encinitas has neither plans nor funding to widen La Costa Avenue.

Kranz, representative for District 1, acknowledged the challenges facing his district and the city’s lack of ability to curtail developer projects.

“Nobody in Encinitas is thrilled about the idea of additional development, largely because it seems that our infrastructure still

leaves a lot to be desired,” Kranz said. “We are not keeping up as a city with all the development that has taken place since incorporation, so the frustration is understandable.”

According to Kranz, laws and regulations drafted by the state legislature remove local authority, hindering the City Council from managing and limiting projects beyond legal parameters.

“The state isn’t concerned with the infrastructure needs Leucadia may have,” Kranz said. “They are much more dedicated to seeing the housing itself built.”

State passed legislation such as SB-330, the Housing Crisis Act of 2019, prohibits

local agencies from disapproving, or conditioning approval of any development providing low or moderate-income housing provided the project remains up to zoning ordinances and general plan land use.

“The reality is, the system has been somewhat rigged in a way that makes it very difficult for a city council to stop legal developments from happening,” Kranz said. “It’s difficult for people to get used to how hard it is to stop some of these projects and I’m right there with them.”

During the Nov. 16 virtual meeting with Kranz and Blakespear, residents asked why the developer can’t be forced to pay for updates to infrastructure.

Kranz acknowledged residents’ frustrations, however he said there is an established legal precedence of what can be financially extracted from a developer in regards to traffic mitigation. Developers may only be responsible for infrastructure immediately adjacent to their properties.

According to Kranz, while the 1967 Vulcan apartments aren’t enough to singularly overwhelm the La Costa corridor’s infrastructure, the cumulative impacts of all nearby developments may, committing him to coordinate traffic mitigation measures between individual developers’ future properties to benefit the corridor as a whole.

For now, groups such as Leucadia Cares and Leucadia NOW have pledged to remain actively involved in all La Costa corridor CPP meetings in an attempt to relay residents’ infrastructure and construction concerns to developers.

At Wermers’ CPP meeting on Nov. 20, over 60 residents expressed their frustrations ranging from the lack of appropriated parking spaces, adjacent infrastructure and public safety.

“We started to see some really big red flags in developer’s plans and thought ‘we’ve got to get a group of neighbors together,’” Lyons said. “People want to fight this so we’re here to help.”

Lyons recommends any residents to get involved by emailing leucadiacares@ gmail.com or visiting NOW Leucadia.

Wermers Properties did not respond to the Coast News’ request for comment.

Conceptual planning complete for Loma Alta Wetlands project

The Loma Alta Wet-

The project will include more than 1,500 feet of new natural trails with educational signage and connections to nearby city facilities, as well as im-

provements to the wetland water quality, storm flow protection and wildlife habitat expansion.

According to Project Manager Justin Gamble, the “Conceptual restoration planning is complete,” including a feasibility study and technical surveys needed to conduct preliminary engineering.

Since 2019, the city has held three public workshops for residents to provide their input on the project’s conceptual design.

“The community helped identify the restoration goals and directly played a part in selecting the conceptual design features,” Gamble said via email. “For example, in our January 2020 workshop, we used an interactive format where attendees worked in groups to identify project phases, preferred trail alignments and wetland restoration features.”

The project still needs to complete its California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA ) process as well as final engineering and obtaining required permits for construction.

Recently, the city was notified of a $175,000 preliminary grant award from

CITY OFFICIALS are working to restore the Loma Alta Wetlands near Buccaneer Beach in South Oceanside, helping to preserve wildlife habitat of the snowy egret, above, and great blue heron, pictured on A1. File photo

the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation’s Coastal Resiliency Fund. The award will fund the project’s final design, which will then make the project ready for construction.

Aside from the federal funds, the city has received $410,160 from a State Coastal Conservancy grant to fund the planning and design.

“The City is actively

seeking opportunities and applying for additional State and Federal grants to fund the project’s construction,” Gamble said.

“The construction timeline is entirely dependent on the City securing an implementation grant, as no City funds are currently dedicated to the project.”

In January, Oceanside resident Shari Mackin told The Coast News she was concerned that the project would not include the Buccaneer Beach Park and the decommissioned La Salina Wastewater Treatment Plant property.

Gamble explained that the wetlands’ enhancement “Is a standalone project.”

“Other planned projects in the vicinity of the restoration site do not preclude its implementation,” Gamble told The Coast News. “However, staff are working cooperatively across projects (where feasible) to incorporate features that will benefit the overall area.”

Gamble said an example would be the future connection of the wetlands trail system to the Coastal Rail Trail extension that is also in the design phase near Loma Alta Creek.

Carlsbad readies affordable housing plan for state review

By Dan Brendel

CARLSBAD — Carlsbad residents have until Dec. 14 to weigh in on a draft affordable housing plan, including sites for potential future rezoning, before city staff submit it to the state government for review.

The plan, once finalized by next spring, would become part of the city’s General Plan and remain in effect through 2029.

As required by state law, it aims “to provide the city with a coordinated and comprehensive strategy for promoting the production of safe, decent, and affordable housing,” according to the draft.

It “identifies strategies and programs that focus on,” among other things, “conserving and improving existing affordable housing” and “removing governmental and other constraints to housing investment.”

An advisory task force of city council appointed residents, together with city staff and a consultant, honed the draft plan through regular meetings since January.

If the task force gives its blessing Dec. 14, staff will tender the plan to the state’s Department of Housing and Community Development, HCD, which implements state housing law, by month’s end.

After negotiating

tweaks to HCD’s satisfaction, the plan will wind through the city planning commission and city council, seeking final approval

zoning. But other sites to meet lower-income targets would require rezoning, which the draft proposes to accomplish by 2024.

It sounds great around The Shoppes at Carlsbad, but not down the street where some of us live.”

Carl Streicher Carlsbad Advisory Task Force Member

no later than the statutory April deadline.

Municipalities don’t build affordable housing themselves.

But state law requires they take certain measures to make their land use regulatory environments more conducive for the private market to build housing affordable at lower incomes.

In particular, municipalities must identify parcels with zoned residential densities the state considers high enough for builders sufficiently to spread costs and achieve economies of scale.

For housing affordable at the lowest incomes, these densities generally would yield multifamily construction.

The draft plan identifies enough sites to meet the city’s higher-income housing production targets without requiring any re-

“There will be action taken by the city to work with property owners, to work with local residents, to make final determination on sites for rezoning,” consultant Rick Rust told the task force at their Nov. 30 meeting.

Parcels identified for potential multifamily housing include light industrial and commercial properties in the city’s eastern half; certain residential properties throughout the city; and certain publicly owned properties, especially 50 acres of city-owned parking lot around The Shoppes at Carlsbad, a mall.

Whereas the city’s highest residential zoning designation currently allows density up to 30 units per acre, the draft plan proposes two new designations, allowing up to 35 and 40 units per acre, respectively.

The draft envisions ap-

plying these only to some publicly-owned or industrial parcels.

Though task force member Carl Streicher expressed concern the new zones could become more prevalent over time.

“The concern is, once we pierce that veil … that we as a community may look for expanding” their use, he said. “It sounds great around The Shoppes at Carlsbad, but not down the street where some of us live.”

Future rezoning would entail environmental and traffic studies, and also

must comport with the General Plan’s other chapters, including those pertaining to land use, open space and transportation.

“There are checks and balances,” in that “these other [General Plan chapters] have to be taken into consideration,” task force chairwoman Carolyn Luna said.

The draft proposes numerous other policies to spur affordable housing production, such as developing pre-approved plans to build accessory dwelling units (aka ADUs, or “granny flats”).

These could save interested homeowners the time and cost of developing their own architectural designs, Rust said.

The plan would also expedite city approval processes for developers, in trade for their building extra affordable housing; require less parking, a major construction cost, especially for underground parking, under certain circumstances; and develop objective design standards for mixed-use and multi-family projects, mitigating the time and cost of subjective city review.

San Marcos businesses hopeful after Small Business Saturday

ple stop and think about what a community would look like without these small business,” Masterson said.

“It reminds us that we all have to do our part to make sure we keep it going the way we want it to be when we come out on the other side.”

Camille Hastings, owner of Leading Notes Studios, also participated in Small Business Saturday and, though she did see more interest in her services because of it, she is hopeful that consumers keep shopping small throughout the holiday season.

“I think we need to keep reminding people that small businesses and local businesses still need their support. It doesn’t end with just this one day,’ Hastings said.

“I definitely feel like the San Marcos Chamber is a helpful resource for me as a business owner, and I think they should do even more get people to keep shopping locally.”

Hastings added that, despite such an uncertain time, it was encouraging to see people supporting each other, and she’s hopeful for an even bigger turn out next year.

SAN MARCOS — San Marcos residents shopped small on Nov. 28 in celebration of Small Business Saturday, a nationwide initiative that aims to get consumers to shop at their local businesses.

And despite COVID-19 restrictions, businesses in San Marcos saw a wave of support from their locals.

To get the word out, the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the city, provided local businesses with “Shop Small Saturday” promotional strategies including free and customizable marketing materials and social media resources.

The chamber also sent weekly newsletters and email blasts, as well as promotions on social media accounts to encourage residents to participate.

Deon Masterson, owner of Finely Home in San Marcos, told The Coast News that she had the second biggest sales day since she opened two years ago.

“We got some really good exposure and really good support from the community. People came in all day and said that they wanted to see us survive in this pandemic,” Masterson said. “I think they came out of curiosity, but also out of loyalty and out of a sense of community and wanting to make sure that small businesses make it.”

Masterson attributed the turnout to the city for encouraging consumers to shop locally, including Mayor Rebecca Jones, who frequents the store.

“When you turn it into If every person takes one small step a thing and you call it Small toward being more conscientious Business Saturday and you of the environment, the collective effort will change the planet. talk about it, it makes peo-

ESCONDIDO — The Sierra Club in North County recently launched a new Stop Harvest Hills campaign alongside a number of community and environmental organizations that also oppose the project.

The campaign includes a new video urging the halt of the development.

“We are ready to re-ignite the fight to halt sprawl development in Escondido and to Stop Harvest Hills,” said Laura Hunter, Chair of the Conservation Committee of the Sierra Club North County Group. “Defeat of the Harvest Hills development proposal is a top priority for San Diego Sierra Club

members and their allies.”

The proposal is a highend sprawl development that proposes developing 550 luxury homes on 1,100 acres of land in the San Pasqual Valley on county property near the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

The city would need to annex the land into the municipality’s boundaries as part of the approval.

Proposed by Concordia Homes, the development has been in the planning process for six years and was formerly known as Safari Highlands Ranch before being rebranded as Harvest Hills.

Critics of Harvest Hills say it will endanger wildlife

habitats, increase wildfire risk and have negative effects on transit and climate change.

Proponents of the agri-neighborhood project say that it supports sustainability by being the city’s first-ever carbon neutral, net-zero energy housing community.

The video features several speakers, including San Pasqual Valley Preservation Alliance member Scott Graves, Escondido resident Linda Stanwood, Youth Climate Activist and Escondido resident Aisha Wallace-Palomares, Tribal Councilmember of the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians Dave Toler and former

Escondido Union School Board member George McClure.

“Large-scale fires are becoming more frequent and more devastating … the addition of several hundred cars evacuating on narrow winding roads will delay our evacuation times and result in homeowners getting trapped,” Graves said in the video.

More than two dozen community and environmental organizations have already shown support for the Sierra Club in opposing the project and have joined in organizing against it.

“Sierra Club opposes Harvest Hills for a number of reasons, not the least of

which is that this new development will decimate hundreds of acres of critical wildlife habitat and pristine open space to build 550 “estate homes” in a ‘Very High Danger’ fire zone, exacerbating potential evacuation efforts of area residents to a dangerous level, and draining funding from the urban core,” stated Sierra Club San Diego Chapter Conservation Chair George Courser.

The Escondido City Council is expected to vote on the Harvest Hills development in the coming months.

Representatives for Harvest Hills could not be reached for comment.

Legendary Knob Hill Christmas display won’t light up this year

By Tigist Layne

SAN MARCOS — For more than 30 years, the holiday light extravaganza known as “Christmas on Knob Hill” has attracted tens of thousands of visitors from all over the country, but the iconic display in San Marcos will not light up this year because of COVID-19 concerns.

Bill Gilfillen, an 82-year-old retired Navy flight engineer, and his family have hosted Christmas on Knob Hill for 33 years at their home at 1639 Knob Hill Road.

From Thanksgiving Eve to Dec. 30, passersby would gather to see more than 100,000 holiday lights cover the Gilfillen residence, along with displays of Santas, reindeer, snowmen, sleighs, Disney characters, giant candy canes and more.

The display would typically take about 2 to 3 months to set up, according to the family, but it is completely powered by solar energy.

In previous years, Gilfillen would walk outside to greet the visitors, many of whom came from beyond San Marcos and California.

Visitors also enjoyed a visit from Santa every night for about a week before Christmas.

This year, the Gilfillen home shows no signs of Christmas lights or decorations. The family issued a statement, which is also

written on a white board outside of their home: “To all our friends who visit Christmas on Knob Hill: For the first time in over 30 years, due to the virus and our concern for our families’ and friends’ well-being, we will not have a display this year. But we promise 2021 will be bigger and brighter.”

Claudia, a San Marcos resident who was passing by the home and stopped to read the sign, told The Coast News that this will be the first year her kids won’t be able to visit Christmas on Knob Hill.

“I have two little girls, they’re 6 and 8 years old, both born in San Marcos,” Claudia said. “My husband and I have been coming to this house during the holidays since before they were born. It’s really strange seeing it like this, but, at the same time, I get it. They have to protect their family.”

She added that she never thought she and her family would have to give up some of their beloved holiday traditions, which can be a hard pill to swallow.

As San Diego County, along with the rest of the nation, continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, many families like the Gilfillens are having to face the reality that even the holidays and sacred family traditions may not be the same for a while.

Vista OKs new marijuana fee structure

By Steve Puterski

VISTA — The city is tackling medicinal marijuana fees again as it ramps up its processes to regulate and foster the industry.

During its Nov. 10 meeting, the City Council approved several new fees for filing and processing applications for renewals, transfers, relocation, relocation and modification, and appeals, according to Aly Zimmerman, assistant city manager.

Zimmerman said the new fee structure is as follows: $329 for renewals of medical or enterprise; $662 for a transfer; $269 for change in management; $2,330 for both the relocation and relocation and modifications of a facility; and $500 for an appeal.

“It seems like we’re always coming back with fees, but part of that is because it’s a brand-new industry for the city,” she said. “We do need to recover the cost to implement new requests.”

Measure Z was approved in 2018 and allows up to 11 medicinal dispensaries in the city.

In 2019, the City Council

approved marijuana enterprise businesses such as testing, manufacturing and distribution as well as delivery services for the dispensaries.

One resident said she worried about the businesses being able to hide

They are paying taxes and abiding by the law.”

Councilman Joe Green Vista City Council

owners through their business formation structure.

However, Zimmerman said the city, and state, fully vets each application, which is why the city approved the new fees.

She said the California Bureau of Cannabis Control, along with city staff doing its own independent research, investigates those business structures.

Zimmerman said the city will not issue a li-

cense unless a business already has a state license.

“There’s been a lot of dedication to cannabis and implementation of Measure Z,” said Councilwoman Corinna Contreras. “It’s been very smooth and at a point where we’ve done a good job of implementing and recovering the cost with staff.”

Since Measure Z has passed, the city has also approved other fees related to the industry, such as a Measure Z application ($9,368), an enterprise license ($4,318), delivery ($978) and retail expansion ($390).

According to the staff report, city fee rates are established by multiplying the estimated time spent by the average hourly rate for the position or positions conducting the review.

In some cases, the hourly rate for multiple positions within a department or division are averaged to create the “average hourly rate.”

“They are paying taxes and abiding by the law,” said Councilman Joe Green. “These fees before us … are extremely reasonable.”

San Diego Humane Society is here for you and your pet When it comes to providing adoption services, emergency rescue operations, veterinary services and even free pet food during these trying times, San Diego Humane Society is here for San Diegans regardless of where they live.

Called SDHS for short, the humane society is an open admission animal shelter that services all of San Diego County’s cities.

“We really want people to know we are here to help them throughout the county,” said Gary Weitzman, president and chief executive officer.

SDHS has five campuses in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside, Ramona and San Diego and accepts all sorts of animals, including livestock and wild animals.

The shelter’s humane officers pick up strays found along beaches, parks and

other parts of communities, and they enforce and investigate animal cruelty and neglect laws.

SDHS also tries to help pet owners keep their pets during hard times. When someone comes in to relinquish a pet, the shelter tries to provide alternative options for the owner so that they may keep the animal, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I couldn’t have gotten through the last nine months as well as I have without my dog,” Weitzman said.

The shelter has also been operating outdoors, so residents can still adopt.

To further help pet owners, SDHS has been providing free pet food at all of its campuses. The shelter recently provided its 1.5 millionth free pet meal.

The shelter even has a

“We feel like it’s a really important part of our mission,” Weitzman said about the wildlife center.

“We want to be there for all animals.”

Recently, SDHS assisted the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, when 12 spiny lobsters that were illegally caught were found in an impounded car in El Cajon. A humane officer released them back into the ocean near the Ocean Beach Pier.

San Diego Humane Society is also highly committed to providing veterinary medicinal services. In 2018, SDHS opened the Pilar & Chuck Bahde Center for Shelter Medicine, the first of its kind in California.

Now the shelter is expanding its veterinary services to help even more people keep their animal

companions. A new community veterinary service will offer a mobile component that will travel to various parts of the county, providing vouchers to residents while partnering with area veterinarians to help those who can’t afford to go through private veterinary practices.

So regardless of which city you live in, San Diego Humane Society is here for you and your animals.

“We need them,” Weitzman said. “We really need that unconditional love and simplicity of having an animal companion.”

Residents can also help SDHS this December, which is an especially important fundraising time so that the nonprofit can care for nearly 50,000 animals in the coming year. To learn more about how you can help, visit sdhumane.org.

Sports Carlsbad’s Hamner picked for Pickleball Hall of Fame sports talk jay paris

S

omeone said “pickle” and Alex Hamner’s response was predictable.

“Hey, I like pickles,” she said.

Um, not the one you plop on your sandwich. This one is about a sport that Hamner has nailed since embracing it.

Hamner, of Carlsbad, has been selected to the Pickleball Hall of Fame. But when the selection committee reached out, she nearly didn’t answer because her cellphone revealed an unfamiliar number.

“Is this one of those prank calls?” she said.

“Should I block it?”

Instead, the conversation wasn’t about a pitch for a product. It revolved around her considerable accomplishments that piqued the hall’s interest and congratulating her for being part of the 2020 class.

“It’s such an honor,” Hamner said. “To actually be inducted is pretty special.”

That’s true of Hamner’s pickleball skills, a sport she embraced about 11 years ago. After playing tennis

and field hockey at Oceanside High and lacrosse at Long Beach State, Hamner grabbed a paddle, and since has never appeared to be swimming upstream.

“It’s just so much fun and the camaraderie among the players, well, it makes you want more,” Hamner, 57, said. “Plus, it’s a great form of exercise, although it doesn’t look like the players are getting exercise. If you play for 20-30 minutes you wonder, ‘Why am I sweating so much?’ ” Those really perspiring are her rivals on the net’s other side. Facing Hamner’s all-court game and give-noquarter attitude isn’t something opponents relish with their pickleball.

“She is, of course, a great player,” said Jennifer Lucore, Hamner’s Hall of Fame partner from Oceanside and the one who introduced her to pickleball after they spent years playing tennis at Oceanside’s El Camino Country Club.

Hamner’s resume is smashing and it illustrates her mettle. She’s won 21 gold medals at the USAPA Nationals, U.S. Open Pickleball championships and the Tournament of Champions.

Add all that up and it’s clear why this accountant by trade is keen with more than numbers.

“My tennis background does help but there are a lot of differences in pick-

REGION — San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham has sued a Midway District strip club where he was stabbed in October.

Pham, 32, was stabbed around 10:30 p.m. Oct. 11 outside Pacers Showgirls International by an unknown person or persons who took part in a fight that broke out in the club’s parking lot.

According to the lawsuit filed Nov. 24 in San Diego Superior Court, the fight outside Pacers left Pham “trapped” inside the club.

The suit alleges the club’s private security “escalated the risk” to Pham “by participating in the fight and antagonizing” the fight participants.

Pham later tried to leave the club, and while walking toward the valet stand to get his car, he was attacked by someone who stabbed the major leaguer “without any provocation,” the complaint states.

A statement released by the Padres shortly after the incident described Pham’s injury as a non-life-threatening slash wound to his lower back, while the lawsuit alleges he suffered “catastrophic injuries, which have and will

REGION — San Diego’s Professional Golf Association Tour event, the Farmers Insurance Open, will be held Jan. 25-31 at Torrey Pines Golf Course, but spectators will not be permitted due to the coronavirus pandemic, event organizers announced Nov. 30.

“We recognize that COVID-19 requires dramatic modifications to the operations of our annual event,” said Marty Gorsich, CEO of the Century Club of San Diego, the nonprofit organization that operates the event.

“We have been working closely with the PGA TOUR as well as the county and City of San Diego in our planning,” he said.

“The safety and well-being of everyone affiliated with the Farmers Insurance Open and our community remains our top priority.

While we will certainly miss the energy our fans bring to Torrey, we remain focused on delivering a PGA TOUR competition that showcases the best players in the game set against the backdrop of one of the most storied courses in the world.”

Oceanside resource centers help Divorce Lawyers ho Mean Business communities navigate pandemic w P c ,F

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — Though COVID-19 has limited social gatherings, Oceanside’s community resource centers continue to service residents by providing weekly meals, COVID testing, afterschool programs and other social services.

Oceanside has three community resource centers dispersed throughout the city in Crown Heights, Eastside and Libby Lake.

The centers originally opened in the mid-1990s to address concerns regarding gangs, drugs and a lack of resources in these communities.

Today, the centers work with several community nonprofits and organizations to provide social services and other resources.

At the Crown Heights center, North County Lifeline provides weekly food distribution and an afterschool program for a limited number of children.

The Crown Heights center also works with Vista Community Clinic to assist residents with applying for Cal-Fresh and Medi-Cal. In the Eastside, Chavez Community Resource Center also works with Vista Community Clinic to provide Medi-Cal and CalFresh assistance.

Additionally, the center is working with the Oceanside Unified School District to provide space for virtual learning in its computer lab onsite.

Throughout the pandemic, elementary school student were able to use the lab to tune in to class.

“There’s a lot of families and kids who don’t have access to WiFi or even just a quiet place for Zoom

classes,” Mendoza said.

He added that all of the students are separated by 6 feet and wear masks while in the lab.

Both staff members and guests at all of the centers are required to follow COVID-19 guidelines including wearing masks and maintaining 6-foot distance from each other.

At the Libby Lake center, there is enough space for Vista Community Clinic medical and dental offices, Interfaith Community Services and additional virtual learning assistance like the program at Chavez.

Mendoza said the technology and language barriers at home have been difficult for children continuing to learn.

“What people really don’t see is the work that’s being done here,” Mendoza said. “We have two public library employees that have been doing an amazing job working with these kids.”

Between April and October, the centers worked with the Botanical Community Development Initiatives (BCDI) to provide fresh produce from local farmers to residents on a weekly basis.

According to Maria Yanez, housing program manager in the city’s Neighborhood Services department, the communities were concerned about having food throughout the pandemic.

The center was able to provide 200 boxes on a weekly basis, with 50 boxes per each center including at the John Landes Recreation Center in the Tri-City area.

Once funding for that program ended, the other nonprofit organizations

working with the centers continue to make sure food distribution hasn’t stopped.

Yanez said there are plans to bring back the program to potentially provide more than just fresh produce — a decision that will go to City Council in the upcoming weeks.

The centers have also been working with Vista Community Clinic to provide COVID-19 testing at six different locations throughout the city, including the three centers as well as John Landes Recreation Center, Melba Bishop Recreation Center and at New Song Community Church.

Carlsbad artist crafts miniatures of landmark small talk

By Jordan P. Ingram

CARLSBAD — Shortly after the news broke that Carlsbad’s iconic smokestack was slated for demolition, local artist Bryan Snyder decided to memorialize the landmark with handcrafted miniature resin sculptures.

For the longtime Carlsbad resident, the monthlong art project was an attempt to preserve the memory of the city’s historic structure.

“As a local artist, community member and advocate, I felt it was my responsibility to try and preserve it,” Snyder told The Coast News. “Once it’s gone, to have a miniature sculpture made by a local artist in the heart of (Carlsbad Village) is an attempt to keep the memory going.”

Snyder, who lives in Carlsbad Village with his wife Susannah and their seven-year-old son Henry and five-year-old daughter Stella, has long contributed to the growth of Carlsbad’s blossoming art scene.

In 2015, Snyder helped TURN TO SCULPTURES ON B11

ENCINITAS — Sam, a Galapagos giant tortoise who came to live at San Diego Botanic Garden and served as a special needs therapy animal for many years, died peacefully on Nov. 5.

In 1966, Julian Duval, president emeritus of the Botanic Garden, worked at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. He brought home a baby Galapagos giant tortoise.

After many years, Sam grew to more than 500 pounds in adulthood.

Leslie, Duval’s wife, later wrote a children’s book about Sam, “Too Big To Lose: The True Story of a Young Girl’s Friendship with a Galapagos Tortoise named Sam.”

In 2012, Sam came to live at San Diego Botanic Garden.

H a p p i l y, Sam spent the rest of his days at the Garden working as a SAM therapy animal for disabled individuals.

He was humanely euthanized after a prolonged illness that was determined to be a heart condition. “... While we miss him terribly we are confident (Sam) enjoyed the life that he had, and it serves to remind us how we should also value and make the most of the time we have,” said Duval.

Doorways are the gates of chi in feng shui and have been a focus in many cultures and many tales. “Never darken this door again” and Jim Morrison’s The Doors come to mind. Pyramids had doors where only the priests could enter, and a locked door with a hidden key always figured in the classic mysteries.

I’d like to say I have been giving doors a lot of deep contemplation, but deep contemplation rarely shoehorns itself into my general schedule. Anytime I indulge in it, I fall asleep.

Fortunately, I have a lovely writer friend who did the deep thinking for me and then graciously shared some thoughts on doors that set me thinking.

She recently visited her childhood home to find it had been given an extraordinary new door. She immediately felt it changed the entire energy of the home, both before you entered and after.

The shift struck deep chords in her. As she put it, “It took me and started to wash the walls of the old writings that marked my youth – the old writings that you would just assume weren’t there. We all have spots like that, marked up.”

GRANDDAUGHTER LOVE

A Carlsbad bride-to-be made a unique stop before tying the knot. Tami Zack visited her grandmother at her GlenBrook Health Center home moments before her nuptials. Due to the pandemic, Zack’s grandmother, Joan Jeske, could not attend the Nov. 22 wedding, so the visit was held the main lobby of the community where they exchanged letters and a champagne toast.

EMERGENCY APPEAL

The Vista Historical Museum has suffered a water main break, and is in the process of repairing the problem. This will cost several thousand dollars that its budget does not have.

Due to the COVID-19 shutdown, it has had to cancel all fundraising activities for 2020, so the museum is asking for the community’s financial help. Donations can be given through vistahistoricalsociety.com or by mail at P. O. Box 1032, Vista, Ca 92085. (Note - A good time for a year-end tax deduction.)

County reopens COVID-19 rent assistance program

By City News Service

REGION — An additional 10,000 households economically impacted by COVID-19 are able to apply for rent relief from San Diego County, part of $27 million county supervisors allocated for just such a purpose.

County residents economically impacted by the pandemic could qualify for assistance of up to $3,000 to pay for past-due or upcoming rent through the second wave of the Emergency Rental Assistance Program that started Dec. 1.

County leaders are anticipating awarding more than $10 million in assistance to residents who applied during the first round of applications at the beginning of October, although details about when that money is expected are scarce.

For the new round of funding, the county will review applications as they are received and will continue to take applications until funds are depleted.

Those who apply will be able to check their application status online at any point in the process.

To be eligible, households must be renting and have experienced a financial hardship directly related to COVID-19.

This includes a loss or reduction of income or an increase in medical expenses.

Households must also fall under 60% of the area median income to qualify.

For example, to be eligible, a single-person household can earn up to $48,540 and a four-person household can earn up to $69,300.

The program will be able to assist about 10,000 households.

Residents who live in cities with their own COVID-19 rental relief program will not be eligible for the county program unless their cities' funds have already been depleted.

Also, applicants must not receive any other forms of housing subsidy, such as Section 8 or other rental assistance programs, rapid rehousing assistance or rental assistance from non-

profit agencies.

Only one application per household will be accepted and the applicant's landlord must agree to participate in the program for the county of San Diego

to process the emergency rental assistance grant.

Applicants can find more program information, including how to apply and detailed eligibility criteria, at www.SDHCD.org.

Pet of the Week Bellwether was transferred to RCHS with hundreds and hundreds of foxtails in her fur and embedded in her skin.

She was shaved then underwent several surgeries to remove the foxtails that were too deep to pull out.

Now she’s a happy, healthy, frisky 3-year-old shepherd mix with lots of enthusiasm and energy.

She’s an active dog who really loves people and can be selective about her dog friends.

The $145 adoption fee includes medical exams, vaccinations, spay, and

Mining the past, or identity theft? waterspot chris ahrens

I

’ve heard them called “Hipster Longboarders,” and to be honest they bug me. Not because of their talent, which is obviously more than adequate with their left-go-right turns and dignified trips to the tip.

All very impressive, but only in a karaoke sort of way.

Gosh this is going to sound curmudgeonly, but here goes: My generation made a go of surfing because they took from the previous generation, moved beyond it and invented something new.

The old guard from my time consisting of surfers like Phil Edwards, Paul Strauch and Miki Dora were replaced by Nat Young, David Nuuhiwa and Gerry Lopez. That’s the way progress

is supposed to work — Honor your elders, learn their ways and move beyond them.

The current generation is more often busy trying to imitate the past on what they call “logs,” a label I personally find offensive because of its primitive connotation.

Fishes, mini Simmons, Eggs, Nuuhiwa-style noseriders, single fin semi guns with lollypop colored resin pin lines have been the rage now for some time.

Nothing at all wrong with any of that being done as a fun romp into the past, but when ’60s longboarding is imitated right down to the rusty VW Van and the entire package becomes your identity, I consider it identity theft.

It’s been over half a century since the surfers I grew up with and I abandoned longboard dreams for something more. True, it was a baby and bathwater revolution that abandoned longboarding completely for a time, but it was all about moving forward.

I still recall sitting on

A ’70S STYLE Fish from the master, Skip Frye, is a joy forever. While beautiful to contemplate and fun to ride, why not lift the curtain on the future? Photo by Chris Ahrens

the beach at Rocky Point on the North Shore of Oahu, discussing the possibility of carving a 360-degree loop,

something California surf star Mark Martinson would soon nearly accomplish and, I am told, Australian Wayne Lynch was about to pull off.

Maybe it’s a communal and deeply seeded fear of the future that keeps generation whatever locked into the past. If so, they are not responsible, but their teachers certainly are.

I try not to roll my eyes when I see them prance by: brightly colored nylon trunks, rubber beavertail with flap unbuttoned, flicking long hair, while carrying a 30-pound leashless longboard.

Entering the water, the show is athletically impressive for at least a few minutes. Five, ten, heels. Perfect cutback, matador arms thrown back as a style move.

Of course, they’re not the only ones getting into the nostalgic act — even older surfers sometimes go post-WWII, riding shrunken down Simmons’ twinfins or ancient finless alias.

And why not? There’s fun and lessons to be had in mining past performances.

Even so, a balsawood world quickly evaporates in an electrified mountain of cell towers and self-driving cars once you hit dry land.

There are still a few surfers (North County’s Ryan Burch and Australian-born Daniel Thomson come to mind) who research ancient designs, take them to the extreme, ride them well, improve upon them vastly and build something barely recognizable.

Many more modern surfers, however, have their fingers glued to a time machine that lands them squarely in my generation.

It’s really none of my business what they ride, but I kind of feel sorry for them and think they are missing out on the most creative and adventurous years of their lives.

Again, I identify.

Then I contemplated the other doorways in my life, and like my writer friend, I saw how many marks, visible and hidden, there are.

There are smears that measured my babies’ growth, frustration in the slammings, the dent where my son took a 15-stitches header, dog pawprints, shoe scuffs, my daughter’s extemporaneous artwork – the signs of life, messy but marvelous.

Cannabis tax revenue for Q3 reported

By Staff

REGION — The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) reported revenue numbers for cannabis sales for the third quarter of 2020.

As of Nov. 16, California’s cannabis excise tax generated $159.8 million in revenue reported on the third quarter 2020 returns due by Nov. 2, and the cultivation tax generated $41.0 million.

Sales tax from cannabis businesses totaled $105.9 million in revenue for the same period. Sales tax applies to sales of cannabis, cannabis products, and other tangible personal property.

Certain retail sales of medicinal cannabis are exempt from sales and use taxes when the purchaser provides, at the time of purchase, a valid Medical Marijuana Identification Card issued by the California Department of Public Health and a valid government-issued identification card.

Total tax revenue reported by the cannabis industry is $306.7 million for third quarter returns. This does not include tax revenue collected by each jurisdiction.

Previously reported revenue for second quarter 2020 returns was revised to $260.2 million, which included $135.0 million in cannabis excise tax, $30.7 million in cultivation tax, and $94.5 million in sales tax.

Cannabis tax revenue data is available on the CDTFA Open Data Portal.

Eggnog is gross.

Prove me wrong.

Cheers!

Ryan Woldt

T

hanksgiving was the unofficial opening weekend for eggnog. I’m, of course, referring to the creamy alcoholic milk, egg and booze cocktail, and not the small town in south-central Utah.

We don’t know for certain the origins of eggnog. Commonly accepted history credits the British for drinking warm, curdled milk, wine and spice drink called “posset” that evolved into eggnog in the Americas in the middle of the 1700s.

To make modern eggnog, you obviously need eggs (or in some recipes only the egg whites). You beat or whip them until frothy.

Add thick whipping cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, any spices that are to your preference and then your alcohol(s) of choice. Most often brandy or whiskey and spiced or dark rum is the kicker.

It is an elaborate, painin-the-butt recipe that is best made in bulk to avoid continually raising your blood pressure.

When you’re done, I recommend putting it in the refrigerator a full day ahead of your planned drinking to make it as

chilled as possible.

The colder it is the easier it will be to mask the taste because, and I believe this with all of my heart, eggnog is gross. It’s frosting gravy, which only sounds good in theory.

Unless you are Rocky training for your fight with Apollo Creed or you’re suffering from the flu in the 1800s and get a prescription from your doctor (the same one still recommending bloodletting to remove bad humor) there is no reason to be drinking raw eggs.

Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps, and my throat seems to be closing up.

And yet, eggnog lovers are passionate advocates for the drink. Every major dairy in the country makes a premade, nonalcoholic eggnog you can take home in a milk carton.

In non-pandemic years I have to distract my wife from the dairy section of the grocery store by pointing out the Christmas tree cookies in the bakery.

Never have I gone to a family winter holiday party without seeing the big punch bowl filled with sour milk and dusted with nutmeg.

Every aunt, uncle and cousin will ask if I’ve “tried Grandma’s eggnog yet?” The answer is always, “No Uncle Rico! Gosh!” but they keep pestering me until I cave and pour a halfounce into a coffee mug.

I’ll let it touch my lips

least there is that. Even so, hours later the ghost of eggnog present still feels present on my lips. Taunting me.

When it comes to holiday drinks, I’m all for wassail — which is a hot mulled cider — or a Gluhwein, the traditional hot Austrian spiced wine drink.

Rumor is Meadiocrity Mead has produced a honey-based variation this year called Gluhmet that they are serving hot or cold and that I’m looking forward to trying.

My point is, I’m open to trying new things, but eggnog is where I draw my line in the snow. Eggnog is gross. Prove me wrong.

dam Carruth, proprietor and winemaker of Carruth Cellars, a San Diego-based urban winery, held their Annual Reserve Sale a few weeks ago.

Of course, Senior Editor Frank and I could not resist an event with great wines on deep discounts.

Once a year, the Carruth Cellars team digs deep into its reserve wine storage to gather up limited and award-winning wines for its largest and most treasured sale of the year.

Just in time for the holiday season, it was a great opportunity to stock up on bottles up to 50% off as gifts for wine-loving friends, and favorites to fill your own wine rack!

Guests enjoyed tastings of limited and endangered wines at five stations spread throughout the tasting room.

The five stations consisted of Burgundy, Italian, Rhone and Bordeaux split in both left and right bank stations.

The admission price included 12 tastings, a special event take-home logo wine glass, and a Red Oven wood-fired personal pizza.

The station concept provided a great way to pace guests through the wine maze and adhere to COVID-19 protocols.

Every 20 minutes, guests in groups of two to six patrons moved station to station with two of the 20 minutes reserved for cleaning the station before the next group showed up.

ith the addition of Everest Himalayan Cuisine to the downtown Encinitas restaurant scene, it could be said that we are close to having a full range of international dining options in Encinitas alone.

And while it was sad to see Kim’s depart, Everest is a very worthy, family-operated replacement serving up an authentic blend of Nepalese, Indian and Tibetan food that I’ve become quite fond of over the past week of sampling their delights.

From the appetizers, I had the Vegetable Samosa and Lamb Choila, both of which were tasty. The Daal is a beautiful lentil-based soup that I enjoyed thoroughly.

I’m a huge fan of Chicken Tandoori and theirs is amazing. This classic bonein chicken dish is marinated in yogurt and spices then broiled in a tandoor oven and served with sauteed onions, cabbage and bell pepper. I like to coat it with or dip it in their delicious Raita yogurt-based sauce.

All these dishes are best with a side of Naan flatbread and again, get a couple of orders of Raita sauce to dip everything in.

Their dumplings are called Momo and I loved the chicken version. All of this went great with a bottle of Taj Mahal lager and some Kheer (rice pudding) for dessert. I’ve been twice and plan on eating my way through the entire menu, so I’ll report back on the rest of it in a month or so.

Is it a fusion of sorts or does it have its own unique characteristics and dishes?

To be honest, when he starts cooking, I feel hungry and that never happened in my previous restaurant. I welcome your readers to please try Everest Himalayan Cuisine and compare it to the others.

LTP: How are you liking the new location on Coast Highway in the heart of Encinitas?

Ishwari: To be honest, I love Encinitas, not only the location but the people are the best human beings in the world.

They are very kind, helpful, honest, humble and spiritual. I used to own a restaurant in Encinitas.

I can't go away from the lovely people of Encinitas.

I choose Coast Highway in the heart of Encinitas because my lovely customers can find me easily and I can serve our healthy food to them. This is a great location and we have plenty of parking behind the restaurant and outdoor dining to go with our carryout.

LTP: For those that have not tried Himalayan cuisine, what dishes would you suggest starting with?

Ishwari: I would like to suggest the Nawaratan Korma, Aloo Bhanta, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Korma, Lamb Curry, Salmon Tandoori, Rack of Lamb and Momos are the best.

Feast in a box Remember the time when Thanksgiving meant inviting the neighborhood and as many family members as could drive or fly in to fill up on a Thanksgiving feast at your home, a feast that could take days to prepare for the big get-together?

The scent of food cooking filled homes in the neighborhood. But like most of our treasured moments, this year was very different and this Thanksgiving Day we had to deal with gatherings of “under 10” only, masks and 6-foot distancing.

The only thing that remained the same for us was that beautiful Pinot Noir wine that paired perfectly with this year’s eventual Thanksgiving dinner… in a box!

I found a savior in Seaside Market in Cardiff. This was a Thanksgiving dinner in a masterfully prepared box that would feed about 10, with leftovers for the next day.

Alongside the freshly roasted turkey was stuffing, potatoes, squash, string beans, cranberry sauce and even a fresh pumpkin pie.

I have annually paired my Thanksgiving feast with

several bottles of Pinot Noir and again this year, these wines kept this tradition alive. Our “under 10” guests were requested to make a choice of “best pairing” of the three Pinot Noir current release wines presented to enhance the food choices.

They were: Frank Family Carneros Napa Valley, 2018 ($30), Laetitia Estate Arroyo Grande Valley, 2018 ($24) and San Simeon Monterey, Estate Reserve 2017. ($22) Pinots have lots of smooth tasting red fruit on the palate, and not a lot of tannins. Minimum tannins mean mellow, tasty wines that don’t need much aging to deliver quality. Your turkey, ham, fish or pork will easily marry up its flavors with many Pinots.

San Simeon’s distinct flavor is achieved within the renowned Santa Lucia Highlands, south of Monterey, and just minutes away from the Pacific Ocean. Subtle spice is achieved from French oak barrels aging its Pinot Noir for at least 10 months. Once out and in bottles, black cherries and raspberry notes dominate, for a truly exclusive San Simeon flavor. It was the most favored wine of the group.

Bobcat burned in El Dorado Fire released back into wild

By City News Service

RAMONA — A young bobcat that was nursed to health in the San Diego area after being badly burned in a San Bernardino County wildfire was returned to its natural habitat today for release back into the wild.

A state Department of Fish and Wildlife warden picked up the rehabilitated animal this morning from the San Diego Humane Society's Ramona Wildlife Center for transport to a site outside the El Dorado Fire burn area rich with nourishment resources, SDHS spokeswoman Nina Thompson said.

The bobcat, then 7 to 9 months old, arrived at the Highland Valley Road wildlife center Oct. 13 after being found by a Yucaipa resident walking her dogs, according to the Humane Society.

A medical team with SDHS Project Wildlife went to work debriding and dressing the ailing

bered for his work, and explained, “We really enjoyed creating an old-fashioned but new holiday look at the same time.

So many hours went into each wreath and we hand-painted natural materials to give them an extravagant look. A horse chestnut or a walnut painted gold, with a few pomegranates placed on a traditional pine wreath, create a visual look that is memorable.”

PAINT IT GOLD! When sharing his design secret of “paint it gold,” he referred me to the Golden Artist Colors Co. in New York, whose selection of over 20 varieties of gold paint are suitable for outdoor projects.

Their catalogue is available at www.goldenpaints. com, or 607-847-6154, and locally available at Dick Blick stores.

“Sometimes constructing the natural wreath can be tricky, but we used a drill and floral picks to stabilize the fruit, nuts and grasses and eventually you get the hang of it,” said Gary. Detailed design plans can be found on the Martha Stewart website and Etsy.

cat's burns, some of which were severe and infected.

The treatment regimen included bandage changes, strong antibiotics and pain medication to keep the feline comfortable.

Within a month, the recuperating bobcat doubled in size to more than nine pounds.

“This is why we work so hard for every single patient who comes through our doors — so they can return to the wild and thrive in their natural habitat,’’ said Andy Blue, campus director at the Ramona Wildlife Center.

“This little fighter went from emaciated with severe burns to becoming a feisty predator who will be able to fend for herself in nature. We are thrilled!’’

The northeastern San Diego County wildlife veterinary facility specializes in caring for apex predators and birds of prey, including bears, bobcats, coyotes, eagles, hawks, mountain lions and owls. with which to build my wreath, I visited the Carlsbad Farmers Market, held on Wednesdays, where I met Brooke Maldonado from Maldonado Farms in Encinitas.

Her beautiful display of cut flowers wows all passersby at the market, and that day she displayed two elegant wreaths crafted from local eucalyptus.

She had constructed the base of wreath from eucalyptus and used fresh flowers including Billy Buttons, Statice and Blue Thistle to create a natural, holiday alternative to a pine wreath.

FRESH CHRISTMAS TREES Later in the week, I visited the family farm in Encinitas, where Fred and Kim Maldonado offer an outstanding variety of Christmas trees, wreaths and holiday plants. “Our trees come from my farm in Oregon, which are shipped weekly, so we can guarantee their freshness.”

She took me on a tour of the greenhouses where the wide variety of Spruce, Cedar, Noble Fir, Blueberry Juniper and Grand Noble are offered in wreaths, swags and trees. “It is important when hanging a wreath outdoors to be aware of the California sun. Be sure to place your wreath in a shady area, LOCAL TALENT In search of unusual or under a doorway, to keep fruit and plant materials the needles from burning.

LOCAL ARTIST Bryan Snyder puts the finishing touches on his miniature resin sculptures of Carlsbad’s iconic smokestack.

Snyder launched the art project to help preserve memories of the city’s historic landmark. Built in 1954, the Encina facility was San Diego County’s largest fossil fuel power plant. The plant was retired in 2018. Photo by Henry Snyder

SCULPTURES establish the Carlsbad Art Wall, which has become a landmark of its own, attracting artists and visitors from around the world.

The digital artist has also hosted numerous art shows and scavenger hunts, as well as working with local businesses for creative marketing purposes to promote the artistic culture within the Village.

But Snyder’s latest project presented a different set of challenges, namely working with art resin,

a material Snyder hasn’t handled in many years.

The sculptures are cast by pouring art resin into an original Chavant clay mold crafted by hand. There is very little room for error.

“If you mess up the mold or resin cast, you pretty much have to start all over again,” Snyder said. “It’s art but it’s also a science project — a lot of chemistry going on.”

After the resin dries, the sculptures are sanded, painted, glazed, positioned on a cardboard mounting board and packaged with a spray-painted “Snyder”

logo on the exterior.

These are not mass-produced duplicates rolling off some foreign assembly line — each sculpture, made in Snyder’s studio, will reveal its own unique set of peccadillos.

“They will see the imperfections – evidence of the artist’s hand,” Snyder said. “I could have 3D printed them offsite but then it becomes merchandise, not a handcrafted piece of art.”

And Snyder isn’t working alone in his studio.

Snyder’s son, Henry, has taken photos of his father’s

work throughout the various stages of production, helping attract plenty of interested buyers on social media. And Stella has provided a steady hand helping package her dad’s art.

Most of all, Snyder said the project has grown out of his desire to preserve local memories and legacies.

“It’s important to keep those memories alive and I think this sculpture does that,” Snyder said.

Carlsbad Power Plant Sculptures are available for purchase on Snyder’s website, snyderartdesign. com.

Also, spray the wreath daily with water to keep it from drying out.”

Maldonado Farms is located at 556 Union Street in Leucadia and the tree lot is open every day from 9 a.m.

to 9 p.m. Their floral products are also available at the Carlsbad Farmers Market on Wednesdays.

I hope I have given you some ideas for your holiday decorations.

DEC. 4, 2020

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your sense of fair play is strong this week, which can cause a problem with a longtime relationship. But in the end, you’ll know what decision to make.

1. TELEVISION: What kind of pet did Robert Blake have on the 1970s series “Baretta”?

2. MOVIES: Which 2002 movie tagline was, “With great power comes great responsibility”?

3. GEOGRAPHY: Which Balkan nation’s capital is Sophia?

4. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE: What day of the week did the ancient Romans refer to as “dies Saturni”?

5. LANGUAGE: What is the word that stands for “N” in the NATO phonetic alphabet?

6. U.S. STATES: Which state features a body of water named Lake Lanier?

7. HISTORY: When did World War II begin?

8. MEDICINE: What is trepanning?

9. U.S. PRESIDENTS: How many days did William Henry Harrison serve as president of the United States?

10. ANATOMY: What is the largest part of the human brain?

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel that you have all the answers right now. But it might be wise to listen to other ideas before you decide to close the lid on other possibilities.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bovines give and expect loyalty, so it might not be easy to reconcile with someone you feel let you down. Why not ask a neutral party to set up a clearthe-air meeting?

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Anticipating the holidays with family and friends fuels your must-do Gemini energies. But try to pace yourself so you’ll be up for whatever comes along later.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) More background information might come through regarding a decision you expect to make. Be sure to check the source carefully before you move.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The strong, nurturing nature of the Lion comes through this week as you reach out to family and friends in need of your warm and loving support.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A relationship that has almost totally unraveled could be close to being restored with more effort on your part to be more patient and less judgmental.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You might not know all the facts behind an unwelcome development, so keep that Scorpion temper in check and resist lashing out at anyone.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good time to reinforce relationships — family, friends, colleagues — that might have been overlooked in recent years.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Family situations continue to thrive. Business associations also improve. Some holiday plans might have to be shifted. Be flexible.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Avoid any influence of negative energy in this week’s aspect by not allowing small problems to grow into large ones. Work them out immediately.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A friend might need advice on how to deal with a challenge to his or her moral values. And who better than you to give the honest answer? Good luck.
