Encinitas man sentenced in hit-and-run VISTA — An Encinitas man who left the scene of a crash that seriously injured a mother of three near Moonlight Beach was sentenced today to probation and a year in jail. Justin Walt Parker, 39, pleaded guilty in January to felony hit-and-run with serious bodily injury. He faced a maximum of two years in prison. Parker turned himself in about two weeks after the Sept. 22 crash, which left 33-year-old Ashley Lane with a concussion and broken bones and caused her to suffer three strokes, according to sheriff's officials. Lane was crossing the street in the 100 block of Encinitas Boulevard when she was struck by a westbound white Ford F-150 pickup truck shortly before 7:30 p.m., Capt. John Maryon said. According to witnesses, the driver stopped, got out of his vehicle and told bystanders the victim appeared to be all right, then got back behind the wheel of his truck and drove off. Paramedics took Lane to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla with serious head, spine, pelvic and limb injuries. Investigators tracked down Parker's truck at a custom automotive shop in Riverside. By then, the damage it sustained in the crash had been repaired, the captain said. Parker was booked into county jail and soon posted bail of $250,000 and was released from custody. — City News Service

STANDING UP, WALKING OUT By Steve Puterski and Aaron Burgin

REGION — Protesting gun violence on school campuses, millions of students made their voices heard on March 14 as part of National Walkout Day. Organized nationally by the Women’s March Youth EMPOWER movement, the protest called for students to leave class at 10 a.m. for 17 minutes to honor the 17 students killed by a gunman at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14. on the one-month anniversary of the shooting.

Across North County, meanwhile, students organized and joined in the protest in support of the movement and victims and survivors of Parkland. At Carlsbad High School, hundreds, if not more than 1,000 students, poured out on to the football field listening as several student organizers spoke about the tragedy, gun violence and the lack of political resolve to address the issue. The students filed into the stadium in a calm and orderly fashion, then returned to class.

SOLANA BEACH — Improvement plans for a 3.44-acre vacant parcel at the northeast end of the city forged ahead at the Feb. 28 meeting, with council members approving the necessary permits for habitat restoration, minor grading and trail upgrades. Once completed, the project will feature 2,080 linear feet of improvements through the triangular lot and a 780-linear-foot extension of the Solana Beach Coastal Rail Trail on the western boundary along Coast Highway 101. Associated amenities include signage walls, donor and dedication areas, a view deck overlooking the San Elijo Ecological Reserve and the Pacific

Ocean, an information kiosk and benches. The trails will provide a connection to the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy’s existing system in the reserve via North County Transit District’s newly built railroad pedestrian underpass. It is anticipated the extension of the Coastal Rail Trail would connect to a future Highway 101 crossing, providing access to Cardiff State Beach. The property was home to a gas station in the 1950s and ’60s and a fruit stand in the ’70s. In 1982, San Diego County and the California Coastal Commission approved a project known as Sandcastle ReTURN TO HARBAUGH ON A12
