OCEANSIDE — A 16-year-old El Camino High School student managed to escape a man who jumped her and put her in a bear hug as she was on her way to class on the morning of Thursday, May 30, authorities reported. The girl was walking to the east on Mesa Drive in Oceanside shortly before 7:30 a.m. when the unkempt stranger walked by her in the opposite direction police spokesman Tom Bussey said. Once past the teen, the stranger turned around and grabbed her from behind, Bussey said. During an ensuing struggle, they fell to the ground, after which the girl was able to break free and run to safety. The victim described the would-be abductor as a balding, roughly 5-foot9-inch, 150-pound white man in his 50s. The perpetrator, who had a scab on right side of his neck, was wearing baggy, dirty black jeans and a tan pullover sweatshirt with a zipper at the chest. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Oceanside police.
ENCINITAS — A site that Encinitas THE officials have tabbed for future afVISTA fordable housing is being blocked by NEWS the California Coastal Commission, which has the ultimate say on the passage of the city’s housing plan. The Coastal Commission is scheduled to decide the fate of the city’s so-called “housing element update” on June 13. But the state staff is recommending the housing RANCHO element update be SFNEWS amended to remove a property in north Leucadia from the inventory of proposed sites, arguing that its inclusion goes against the commission’s charge of providing hotel and motel space for coastal visitors. The 2.97-acre site is known as the “Jackel Property,” the namesake of Fenway Capital Advisors’ Managing Partner Larry Jackel. Fenway Capital is developing the 124-room Encinitas Beach Hotel on property just north of the site. According to the city’s proposal, the site would yield 33 housing units, among the lower unit-yielding sites on the city’s map, which would yield just under 1,450 units as currently proposed. But the Coastal Commission said that upzoning the property, which is currently zoned for hotel and motel use, to high-density residential conflicts with the state Coastal Act,

Queen of the hill La Costa Canyon grad Roxanne Vogel becomes fastest in world to climb the summit of Mount Everest
By Steve Puterski
CARLSBAD — She stood as high as a commercial airliner at cruising altitude, atop the world. On May 22, La Costa Canyon grad Roxanne Vogel, or Roxy to friends and family, summited Mt. Everest, the world’s tallest peak at a towering 29,020 feet. And she did it in just 10 days, becoming a media sensation along the way. Described as a “lightning ascent,” Vogel, 33, reached the summit faster than anyone, ever. She was guided by Lydia Bradey and Sherpas Mingma Tshering and Pasang Tendi. “It hasn’t really (sunk
in),” Vogel said. “I’m glad I was the first one to successfully do it because it’s cool to be the first to do anything. Hopefully, I’ll be a good resource for people going forward.” Never a climber or one to spend much time in the outdoors, Vogel’s path to Everest started in college at North Carolina State. She began hiking and hitting the outdoors, but it really wasn’t until she was enrolled in a study abroad program in Peru and visited Machu Picchu, where she became drawn to those challenges.
