Family pursues ‘healer’

Dr. Bronner’s settles ketamine massage death

By Leo Place

ENCINITAS — The family of a former Dr. Bronner’s employee who died in late 2022 has settled its legal case against the Vista soap company, and is now focusing on legal action against an Encinitas man who allegedly gave her a ketamine massage the day she died.

Denise Lozano, 50, died in December 2022 after receiving what was supposed to be a ketamine massage from Christian Lee Allbert, who operates Encinitas holistic healing center Soul Reintegration. Lozano’s cause of death was an accidental overdose of MDA, a drug similar to MDMA that is more potent, and no one has been criminally charged in connection with her death.

Lozano’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Dr. Bronner’s and Allbert in December 2024. They claimed that Dr. Bronner’s executives, including CEO David Bronner and his wife Mia Bronner, referred Lozano to Allbert after using his services in the past, and that he ultimately gave her a lethal dose of MDA.

Encinitas closes D Street stairs

By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS

— The City of Encinitas has closed the D Street beach access staircase, citing emergency structural concerns that make it unsafe for public use.

The closure, announced Tuesday, is effective immediately and applies to the staircase at 404 W D Street. The staircase is a popular entry point to a stretch of beach running below the bluffs from Moonlight Beach south to Swami’s Point.

“Barricades will be installed to secure the area,” according to a city press release. “The staircase will remain closed until repairs

can be made. The reopening date will be determined once further assessments are completed.” City officials could not be reached for more information on

the type of structural concerns, when the assessments will occur, or if the city anticipates the staircase opening before summer.

Beachgoers are encouraged to use Moonlight Beach as an alternative access point. All other beach access points within the city will remain open and available for public use.

“The City appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation as we work swiftly to complete repairs and ensure public safety,” the release stated. The current staircase at D Street was built in April 1989, a rebuild of the county’s previous structure erected in 1977.

Judge denies bid to halt American Airlines flights

By Walker Armstrong CARLSBAD

— A San Diego Superior Court judge on April 4 denied a request to temporarily halt commercial American Airlines flights at McClellan-Palomar Airport, ruling that the plaintiffs failed to show sufficient harm to justify stopping the service.

Citizens for a Friendly Airport, a Carlsbad-based advocacy group, filed the motion for a preliminary injunction as part of its ongoing lawsuit against the County of San Diego.

The group is challenging the county’s approval of a lease agreement with American Airlines, alleging the decision violated a 2021 court order requiring consultation with city officials before authorizing commercial air service.

In a March 30 statement, the group said it was seeking to suspend the twice-daily flights between Carlsbad and Phoenix “until the trial is over.”

The flights, operated by American Airlines’ regional carrier Envoy Air under the American Eagle brand, began Feb. 13. The San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved the lease in January, bringing commercial service back to the Carlsbad airport for the first time in nearly a decade.

evaluating the merits of the preliminary injunction, and I look forward to having a hearing on the merits,” Yeh said.

The county and American Airlines have contended that the lawsuit is preempted by federal law, including oversight from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Airline Deregulation Act. The airline called the lawsuit “an unlawful attempt to directly regulate aircraft operations and service.”

Citizens for a Friendly Airport rejected those claims, calling them exaggerated. In a statement, the group said American Airlines is overstating the financial impact of suspending a limited number of daily flights, particularly for a company with a multibillion-dollar market valuation.

Cory Briggs, attorney for Citizens for a Friendly Airport, argued the county violated a permit established in 1980 that designated the airport for general aviation and basic transport — also known as a B-II airport.

However, Superior Court Judge Gregory Pollack said the plaintiffs did not meet the legal threshold required for injunctive relief.

“It’s not even a close call,” Pollack told Briggs. “You’ve not satisfied that prong at all. This is a situation where $600,000 would

American Airlines criticized the timing of the request, noting the motion was filed nearly two months after the lease was approved and flights had already begun. Halting service now, the airline argued, would result in actual and irreparable harm, including loss of revenue, reputational damage and layoffs.

be lost in contract; there are jobs involved, there are passengers as well. And your motion is not asking to freeze the status quo — you’re asking to dramatically disrupt it.”

In court filings, the county and American Airlines argued that the lease complies with McClellan-Palomar Airport’s conditional use permit, or Coastal Development Permit 172. The permit, they said, allows for both scheduled and unscheduled commercial airline operations.

In a statement to The Coast News following the ruling, Jack Yeh, the attorney representing American Airlines on the matter, said the judge made the correct decision.

“We think the court made the right decision in

An injunction blocking the commercial flights would have had serious financial consequences for McClellan-Palomar Airport, which is facing a projected $3.8 million budget shortfall for the 2024-25 fiscal year.

A case management conference is scheduled for Nov. 4, when a trial date may be set.

More empty rhetoric

EDITOR’S NOTE: This letter is a response to last week’s op-ed by Community Resource Center CEO John Van Cleef, “Enough is enough.”

By S. Garcia

If calling attention to the daily decay of our public spaces, open-air drug use, and the surge in homeless-related issues is “stoking fear,” then let’s be very clear: fear is not the problem — denial is.

What’s truly dangerous isn’t the language or imagery used in a social media post. It’s the refusal by leaders like John Van Cleef to acknowledge what Encinitas residents and business owners witness daily: sidewalks turned into shelters, storefronts turned into bathrooms, and public parks turned into encampments.

Instead of confronting these escalating consequences, Van Cleef offers empty outrage over tone, ignoring the deep frustration and growing alarm of a community that has had enough.

He calls it “cherry-picked data.” We call it lived experience.

mendable.

But what’s not commendable is how far it has overstepped. What began as a local resource has become a hub that actively draws in transient populations, most with no ties to Encinitas.

After receiving food and services, many linger in the community. They camp illegally. They sleep in front of businesses. They use

Good intentions and virtue signaling will not clean our streets or keep our families safe.

drugs in the open. They steal from local stores.

Here’s the truth no one wants to say: The CRC has become a business that depends on the persistence of homelessness to sustain itself.

They advertise services near trolley stops, drawing more people into Encinitas.

Why? Because they receive local, state, and federal funding based on the size of the problem they serve. If homelessness were solved, the money would dry up, as would the $10-$14 million expansion they’re now pushing.

Why would they want to eliminate the very issue that funds them?

While Van Cleef clutches his pearls over a cartoon, he remains silent about the actual damage happening every day. Guns have been pulled on neighbors. Storefronts defecated on.

Letters to the Editor

Density bonus flaws

Dear Editor, Recently I sent a letter to State Sen. Blakespear, a former mayor of Encinitas, regarding the flaws of density bonus, which I would like to share with those of you who live in Encinitas.

Dear Sen. Blakespear, I’m writing to express concern about the threat Senate Bill 79 poses to those of us who genuinely care about providing affordable housing. SB 79 has virtually no affordability requirements and threatens to override voter-approved Proposition A height limits in Encinitas.

As you may know, Encinitas has already been hurt by the state’s current density bonus laws, which heavily favor market-rate units and allow only a minimum number of affordable homes.

A recent example is the 30-home Torrey Crest development on Melba Drive. Of those 30 homes, just three will be affordable — and that’s after three existing lower-income homes were demolished.

Bottom line: Existing lower-income renters will be displaced, and there will be zero net gain in affordable housing.

On top of that, a large number of trees will be cut down, and bird and wildlife habitats will be replaced with heat-producing hardscape.

housing, our legislators seem to be blaming the public for pushing back.

This tactic — straight out of Trump’s playbook — paints concerned residents as NIMBYs. SB 79 is just the latest example of California’s flawed housing policies, pushed

Why are lawmakers pushing laws that cater to developers while ignoring the real need for affordable housing?

The Community Resource Center (CRC) may have started with good intentions, but today it has become a regional magnet for homelessness, addiction, and lawlessness — drawing individuals from across the county and beyond, with little regard for the impact on Encinitas families, small businesses, or public safety.

Van Cleef accuses Save Encinitas Now of “dehumanizing” the homeless. But let’s be clear: what actually dehumanizes people is allowing them to sleep in bushes, on sidewalks, and in parks — unsheltered, untreated, and unsafe.

It’s dehumanizing to ignore open drug use, overdose deaths, and the daily spiral of suffering on our streets while pretending this is compassion.

It’s not noble — it’s negligence.

Yes, the CRC may help some people. That’s com-

This isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s dangerous and has created a public safety crisis. These consequences are eroding downtown Encinitas. Families are avoiding the downtown. Many business owners are struggling. Residents no longer feel safe in their city.

And what does Van Cleef offer in response? Hollow moral platitudes. He speaks from a perch of moral superiority, yet provides no real solutions for the rising crime, the filth, the overdoses, or the escalating mental health emergencies — many of which are drawn to Encinitas by the CRC. Our community deserves action, not ideology.

Encinitas residents should be deeply offended by Van Cleef (who DOESN’T live in Encinitas) and those like him who place the appearance of compassion above the reality of it.

There is nothing compassionate about enabling an ecosystem of harm while claiming the moral high ground. This isn’t a housing crisis — it’s a crisis of clarity and courage.

Over 50% of weekly local sheriff calls are now related to homeless issues. Encinitas is overwhelmed — and the CRC wants to grow?

Even worse, they now intend to expand their services into neighborhoods across the city. Plans for mobile food distributions would push these same problems from downtown into our residential streets. We cannot allow that to happen.

Let us be absolutely clear: We urge the Encinitas mayor and City Council to reject the CRC’s proposed expansion immediately and unequivocally. It represents a growing threat to our city’s safety, livability and future.

It’s time to stop confusing passivity with compassion. Real compassion demands responsibility, structure, and solutions.

Good intentions and virtue signaling will not clean our streets or keep our families safe. Enough with the empty rhetoric — it’s time for real leadership.

Enough is enough..

S. Garcia is an Encinitas resident and one of several operators of the Save Encinitas Now page on Instagram.

It’s clear that the Building Industry Association and certain developers — who value profit over community — hold the most sway in Sacramento. Rather than improving current density bonus laws to meaningfully increase affordable

I’m looking for answers, not excuses. Why are lawmakers pushing laws that cater to developers while ignoring the real need for affordable housing? Why aren’t they fixing the current policies to better serve lower- and middle-income Californians? Why aren’t they working with local governments — instead of setting them up to be sued?

I would appreciate hearing your perspective on SB 79 and the state’s approach to density bonus laws in general.

Calif. Medigap policy hurts kidney patients

Dear Editor, My father requires dialysis treatments for End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), or kidney failure.

As his caregiver, I see how consuming and exhausting dialysis is for him, but it keeps him alive. Like my father, over 91,000 Californians rely on life-sustaining dialysis treatments due to ESRD.

However, a gap in California law unfairly threatens their financial stability.

ESRD patients under the age of 65 are explicitly excluded from a law requiring Medigap coverage to be accessible for people under 65 with a disability.

Medigap, or Medicare supplemental plans, are critical in helping people cover the 20% of treatment costs that Medicare doesn’t pay.

Other states give patients the option to buy Medigap plans, but Cal-

ifornia is one of just four states that exclude patients under 65 from purchasing coverage. That gap often forces those patients to reduce their incomes until they qualify for Medi-Cal. People like my father deserve better from our state. I thank California Senator Dr. Akilah Weber Pierson (D-CA-39), for co-authoring Senate Bill 242, which extends affordable Medigap access to ESRD patients who are under age 65 and encourage Assemblymember Dr. Darshana Patel (D-CA76), and the entire California state legislature to support this important bill. By doing so, California can alleviate the financial hardships ESRD patients face and ensure they receive the comprehensive care they deserve.

O’side to designate Ivey Ranch as historic site

Nonprofit fears designation may impact programs

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —

The Oceanside City Council narrowly voted to move forward with registering the land at Ivey Ranch Community Park as a historic cultural resource, despite a nonprofit's concern that the move could hinder its ability to offer programs for people with disabilities.

On March 26, the council voted 3-2 to direct city staff to pursue local, state and federal historic designations for the land and the 135-year-old farmhouse on the property, located next to Mission San Luis Rey.

The San Luis Rey Band of Luiseño Indians, also known as Mission Indians, requested the designation, asking the city to recognize the site as a Payómkawichum “first contact” area, citing its historic and ancestral significance. The former village of Quechla once stood where the park is now, adjacent to the mission, and Spanish and Native American artifacts have been found on the site.

cluding cultural surveys.

Tonya Danielly, executive director of Ivey Ranch Park Association, urged the council to remember the site’s original purpose in the 1980s: a park for people with disabilities.

The city acquired the land from the L.O. Ivey Trust in 1981 and has since leased it to three nonprofits serving people with special needs: Ivey Ranch Park Association, Casa de Amparo and Canine Companions. Ivey Ranch Park Association provides equine therapy, after-school care, an adult day program, and other services for children and adults with disabilities.

The Ivey Ranch child development center operates out of the historic ranch house, and its equestrian

program uses a barn built about a decade ago.

Volunteers and leaders at Ivey Ranch fear that the historic designation could complicate or prevent planned expansions, including a proposed 900-squarefoot addition to the farmhouse for classrooms, a restroom and office space, and a 720-square-foot storage addition to the hay barn.

According to Mayor Esther Sanchez, the tribe had not been properly notified about certain past projects at the park, including expansion efforts, in violation of state law. Sanchez said neither the city, tribe, nor

tenants were at fault for the oversight, which spanned over three decades.

The tribe has also requested to be included in all future discussions about the site and to form a memorandum of understanding with the city to formalize a partnership.

Council members Peter Weiss and Rick Robinson voted against the motion, arguing that the site had been denied historic designation three times due to the extent of changes made to the land. Weiss added that the city already requires historic permits for work near the mission, in-

“We are stewards of this property. We do right by our neighbors, and we will continue to do the right things,” Danielly said.

Danielly said she had previously worked with the same tribal leaders on archaeological surveys at the site and claimed that Casa de Amparo and Canine Companions staff were not informed of the proposed designation.

Numerous volunteers and client family members spoke in opposition, expressing concern that the designation could interfere with services or lease renewals.

City Attorney Steven Burke Jr. said the city, as landowner, has sole authority over leases and explained that while a historic designation could introduce more environmental and archaeological requirements, similar reviews are already required under existing historic permits.

“There are some requests in the letter that are broader, which I think is where some are concerned,” Burke said.

Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce, who supported the motion, emphasized that the vote was solely about initiating the registration process.

Joyce pledged to preserve Ivey Ranch’s services and, if possible, help them grow.

Fallbrook group aims to slow cannabis plans

Residents fear more cultivation could harm area

By Samantha Nelson FALLBROOK

— Community leaders in Fallbrook are calling on San Diego County officials to pause plans for a cannabis program in unincorporated areas until environmental analysis is updated with more recent data.

In late March, the Fallbrook Planning Group — a 15-member elected advisory board — approved its recommendations and comments on the county’s draft environmental impact report (DEIR) for the proposed Socially Equitable Cannabis Program.

The program, advanced by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors last year, would open the door to allow commercial cannabis operations in the county’s unincorporated areas. It also includes a social equity component aimed at providing opportunities for individuals previously incarcerated under past cannabis laws to participate in the legal market.

While some residents have concerns about the social equity component, the planning group’s comments focused exclusively on environmental concerns.

The DEIR outlines five alternatives, from maintaining the status quo to allowing varying levels of commercial cultivation, including outdoor and mixedlight grows with buffer zones between operations and sensitive land uses like schools, parks and homes:

The group ultimately recommended Alternative 1 in the DEIR, the “no project” option, which would keep current regulations in place and prohibit new cannabis businesses from opening.

“Based on current comparative program failures and court rulings in other counties, cities and states,” the group stated, the county should pause and reevaluate

the project. “For example, the idea that legal cannabis businesses will help prevent illegal cannabis businesses, appears to be flawed,” the group added in its formal comments.

However, the group acknowledged that no change to current regulations is unlikely, so it also endorsed Alternative 4, which allows only indoor and mixed-light cultivation with expanded 1,000-foot buffers, as the “environmentally superior alternative.”

Eileen Delaney, chairperson of the Fallbrook Planning Group, said the community’s main concerns center on odor, pesticide use, water consumption, drainage, and other environmental impacts that could harm neighboring farms, orchards and wineries.

“For example, it has recently been observed that the odor from cannabis can be so strong that it can permeate the skin of the grapes being grown close by and alter their flavor,” the group stated. “Indoor cultivation would help eliminate these negative impacts.”

Currently, no confirmed scientific evidence shows that cannabis odor can contaminate grapes.

Despite backing indoor cultivation over outdoor grows, Delaney said concerns remain about indoor operations. Delaney and Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce CEO Lila Hargrove — both members of an ad hoc committee that reviewed the DEIR — agreed

that the county’s report contains outdated data.

“There’s now six or seven years of data from areas that have allowed cannabis programs not included in the report,” Delaney said.

According to the group’s written comments: “Data from other municipalities that have had cannabis programs for several years, which was not included in this DEIR, as well as new data that is just being discovered, shows that odors, pesticides, water, drainage and other factors from outdoor cultivation have had, and continue to have substantially negative environmental effects. These effects threaten the health and safety of residents, especially growing children.”

The group also raised concerns about cultivation being allowed on agriculturally zoned A70 and A71 lands, which often border residential areas in the unincorporated county.

Residents also worry about cannabis events and consumption lounges leading to more impaired driving on rural roads.

“We already have enough problems with drunk drivers,” Delaney said.

Dispensaries, which are subject to tighter regulations, were not as much of a concern, she noted.

Crash victims

ID’d

By City News Service REGION

— Authorities have publicly identified six people who were killed recently in San Diego-area traffic accidents, including two wrecks that each claimed a pair of lives.

The most recent of the roadway fatalities took place about 7:45 a.m. March 31, when a westbound Ford SUV veered off a curving stretch of Gopher Canyon Road in Bonsall and crashed into a ditch near Valley of the King Road, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office.

The driver, 47-yearold Madeline Afasene of Oceanside, died at the site of the accident.

Three of the traffic deaths occurred on March 30, the agency reported. At about 2:30 p.m. that day, Rachquel Andersen, 43, was driving an Acura SUV that collided with a pickup while traveling east on Betsworth Road at Lilac Road in Valley Center. An ambulance crew took Andersen, a Valley Center resident, to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, where she was pronounced dead.

Roughly 12 hours earlier, a head-on collision on Interstate 15 in Escondido left two motorists dead. Shortly before 2:30 a.m., 33-yearold Jesus Rivera Robles, address unknown, was driving a Volkswagen sedan that collided head-on with a BMW being driven by 36-year-old Diego Jose Gutierrez of Escondido to the north on the southbound side of the freeway near Deer Springs Road, according to the medical examiner. Both men died at the scene.

The county agency reported that the other two roadway fatalities also resulted from a single crash. Shortly before 12:30 a.m. March 29, 22-year-old Abraham Arana of San Diego lost control of the car he was driving on an elevated transition ramp from eastbound state Route 94 to northbound SR-15 in the Grant Hill area, about a mile east of Balboa Park.

The vehicle crashed into a freeway sign before plunging off the bridge and landing on the westbound side of SR-94. Arana and a passenger in the car, San Diego resident Amanda Silva-Flores, also 22, died before paramedics could transport them to a hospital.

The Roosevelt greenlit despite parking issues

New Village project to replace office building

By Walker Armstrong CARLSBAD —

The Carlsbad Planning Commission on Wednesday voted 4-0 to recommend approval of a proposed mixed-use development in the Village, despite public concerns over parking and building design.

The project, known as The Roosevelt, would replace an existing 8,000-squarefoot commercial building at 2621 Roosevelt Street with a 45-foot-tall, mixeduse structure featuring 23 residential units, five retail suites, and two office units. The development also includes a 4,000-square-foot public plaza and 24 surface parking spaces beneath a podium, landscaping, and drive aisles.

Located on the south side of Roosevelt Street between Laguna Drive and Beech Avenue, the project spans 0.46 acres and is zoned Village Barrio under the city’s General Plan.

Developer Brendan Foote, managing principal of Fabric Investments, said the design reflects community needs and logistical constraints, including a required fire lane and upper-level setbacks.

“We embraced this card that was dealt to us,” Foote said. “We’re not, you know, an out of town group. We do care a lot about the community and the neighborhood.”

The project requests two 50% density bonuses under state law in exchange for four affordable units — two for very low-income and two for moderate-income households. It also seeks two concessions and eight waivers under the state Density Bonus Law. These waivers would allow the development to exceed the area’s 35-foot height limit, eliminate commercial parking requirements, and depart from various design standards related to massing, setbacks and window coverage.

Several residents expressed concerns about the already limited parking in the area.

“There’s hardly ever a time where you don’t have a parking issue,” one resident said during public comment. “In aggregate, we have to consider the parking in that part of the Village. It’s just impractical as it is right now.”

Another Village resident, Lori Robin, said the building’s dark color palette is out of character with the surrounding architecture.

City staff determined the project qualifies for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act for infill development, and commissioners voted to recommend approval of the exemption and the site development plan.

Commissioners and staff acknowledged the city’s limited authority under state housing laws, including AB 2097, which restricts cities from requiring parking near transit stops.

“AB 2097 is the latest in the line of a number of laws that the state legislature has passed to strip away local control and discretion in decision making,” said Mike Strong, associate director of community development.

Commissioner Peter Mertz said he initially had “serious concerns about the parking” but was ultimately swayed by the applicant’s presentation and track record. Commissioner Nicholas Foster added that while local concerns are valid, “we have to follow state law, although many of us may not agree with state law at all times.”

Construction is anticipated to begin in mid-2025 and be completed by mid2026.

Escondido lags on housing goals

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO

— A report presented in late March shows Escondido continues to fall short of its state-mandated housing goals across all income levels.

The report, delivered by city staff on March 25, tracks Escondido’s compliance with its Regional Housing Needs Allocation, or RHNA, as part of the city’s Housing Element, a mandatory plan that outlines how local jurisdictions will accommodate future housing demand.

Since 1969, California law has required local governments to plan for housing growth by affordability level. Escondido is currently in the sixth planning cycle, which spans from 2021 through 2029 and requires the city to plan for 9,607 new units. That includes 1,864 units for very low-income households, 1,249 for low-income, 1,527 for moderate-income, and 4,967 for above moderate-income residents.

city’s limited progress in delivering moderate-income housing.

Morones noted that a large development had converted market-rate units into moderate-income housing just before the start of the current RHNA cycle in 2021.

However, the state did not count those units. She added that while the city remains open to similar

DHS issues waiver to spur border wall construction

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem issued a waiver of environmental regulations April 8 to speed up construction of more than two miles of border wall in San Diego County.

The waiver is the first under the new administration, which will forgo laws such as the National Environmental Policy Act requiring federal agencies to assess and consider potential environmental impacts prior to major federal actions.

In a statement, DHS said the waiver is intended to “cut through bureaucratic delays ... that can stall vital projects for months or even years.’’

The waiver covers the following projects:

-- SDC Jacumba Gap Wall Project, which is about two miles;

-- SDC Smugglers Gulch Project, at about 350 feet;

-- SDC 4 Wall Project, which is between 600 and 1,500 feet.

“Together, these projects will close critical gaps in the border barrier and enhance border security operations in the San Diego (SDC) Sector,’’ the DHS statement continued.

Halfway through the cycle, Escondido has completed approximately 15% of its target, with 1,496 total units reported. This includes 149 very low-income units, 153 low-income units, 48 moderate-income units, and 303 above moderate-income units.

According to the report, 63% of the units are multifamily, 27% are accessory dwelling units, and 10% are single-family homes.

City Planner Veronica Morones identified two key challenges: a lack of planning department staff and the high cost for developers to finance rental housing.

Some council members expressed concern over the

conversions, “the city hasn’t received any significant project applications for moderate-income homes since the cycle began four years ago.”

Mayor Dane White said Escondido is not alone in struggling to meet its housing goals.

“Virtually every city in the county is in the same boat with the exception of one,” White said. White also criticized the state’s targets, suggesting they are unrealistic for many municipalities.

“I wish we were building housing faster… but I’m thrilled with the progress we’ve made,” he said.

Among North County cities, Escondido has the highest RHNA allocation. Countywide, it trails only San Diego.

County issues shellfish warning

By City News Service REGION —

San Diego

County health officials on April 4 advised residents to avoid locally harvested shellfish — such as mussels, clams, scallops or oysters — not purchased from a state-certified commercial harvester or dealer.

In a statement, county officials said Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties have also issued safety notifications, as “dangerous levels of domoic acid, which can cause amnesic shellfish poisoning, have been detected in locally harvested mussels.’’

According to the county, the warnings don’t apply to shellfish sold at stores from approved sources, including local markets or restaurants, “because state law allows only state-certified commercial shellfish harvesters or dealers to sell to restaurants and markets.’’

Certified harvesters

and dealers are subject to frequent mandatory state testing that monitors for toxins, the county said. Amnesic shellfish poisoning symptoms can be felt within 30 minutes to 24 hours after eating toxic seafood, according to the county. Mild cases may involve abdominal cramps, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, and vomiting. Symptoms resolve within several days, according to the county. However, those suffering from a severe case may have trouble breathing. They may also suffer “confusion, disorientation, cardiovascular instability, seizures, excessive bronchial secretions, permanent loss of short- term memory, coma or death,’’ county officials said.

The state Department of Public Health “will continue local sampling to determine when sport-harvested shellfish is safe to eat again.’’

Five UCSD student visas revoked

Trump admin points to national campus protests

By Leo Place

SAN

DIEGO

— Five students at UC San Diego had their F-1 visas suddenly revoked by the U.S. government, and a sixth student was detained at the border, denied entry and deported to their home country, university Chancellor Pradeep Khosla said.

In an April 4 campuswide notice, Khosla said the students’ visas were removed “without warning” and with no explanation from the federal government.

“The students have been notified, and we are working directly with them to provide support,” Khosla said.

UC San Diego students are among hundreds recently impacted by the government’s crackdown on student visa holders.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order

in January that threatened to revoke the visas of people who participated in pro-Palestinian protests last spring amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on March 27 that the government had revoked the visas of 300 international students studying in the United States, including dozens in California.

The University of California said on April 4 that

they are aware of student visa terminations across various campuses. According to news reports, students have also been affected at UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, UC Davis and UC Irvine.

“This is a fluid situation, and we continue to monitor and assess its implications for the UC community and the people affected,” the University of California said. “We are committed to doing what we can to support all mem-

Dieguito Believes in the Power of Community

bers of our community as they exercise their rights under the law. In doing that, the University will continue to follow all applicable state and federal laws.”

Rubio has boasted about stripping visas from pro-Palestine protestors on college campuses in recent weeks, whom he referred to as “lunatics” and accused of supporting Hamas.

Since early March, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have detained several international students at schools, including Columbia and Harvard, who have participated in pro-Palestine protests.

However, the crackdown is not solely focused on students, and involves many different types of visa holders as part of a broad range of immigration policies implemented by the Trump administration.

“The overwhelming majority of student visas in this country will not be revoked, because the overwhelming majority of people that are coming to this country to study are not involved and associated or aligned with organizations that seek to do damage in this country, and that, frankly, organizations that hate the United States government and hate our way of life,'' Rubio said. “So I just think it's crazy to continue to provide visas so people can come here and advocate for policies that are in direct contradiction of our national interest.''

It is unclear whether the UC San Diego students whose visas were revoked were targeted for their involvement in protests.

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— The city of Oceanside is applying for a $21.25 million state grant to help fund a large-scale sand nourishment project aimed at restoring the city’s eroded beaches.

The grant funding from the state’s Division of Boating and Waterways’ Public Beach Restoration Program would cover most of the sand nourishment portion of the city’s RE:BEACH Oceanside Project, a pilot effort to combat decades of beach loss through engineered coastal improvements.

The total sand component of the project is expected to cost $25 million, with the city contributing the remaining $3.75 million from either its sand replacement account, Measure X funds, or the general fund.

Camp Pendleton Boat Basin in 1942 and the Oceanside Small Craft Harbor in 1963. Those projects interrupted the natural sediment flow into the Oceanside Littoral Cell, causing sand to accumulate north of the harbor and limiting its ability to reach the city’s beaches.

The RE:BEACH project is in its final design phase, and construction is expected to begin as early as next year. The total estimated cost of the project is $55 million.

At a City Council meeting on March 26, several residents and members of the advocacy group Save Oceanside Sand urged city officials to act more quickly by funding short-term sand replenishment projects, especially in South Oceanside, while waiting for the pilot program to be fully implemented.

UC San Diego officials are urging international students to engage with the International Services and Engagement Office, including their Immigration Policy Updates webpage.

“We recognize that recent federal immigration actions, whether occurring locally, within the UC system, or across the country, are distressing for many in our campus community. We reiterate our strong support for our valued Triton international students and everyone in our Triton community,” Khosla said.

The Coast News wire service contributed to this report.

The project, officially called the Phase 2 Sand Nourishment and Retention Pilot Project, includes constructing two artificial headlands about 2,000 feet apart at Tyson Street and Wisconsin Street beach access points. It also calls for an offshore artificial reef approximately 800 feet from the shoreline and the addition of about 900,000 cubic yards of sand both onshore and nearshore.

Officials hope the headlands and reef — described as “living speed bumps” — will help trap both new and naturally drifting sand along Oceanside’s coast. The strategy has seen success on Australia’s Gold Coast, which has dealt with similar erosion issues.

Beach erosion in Oceanside dates back more than 80 years, mainly due to the construction of the

Bob Ashton, the group’s executive director, said he hasn’t seen the “sense of urgency” he believes the project requires. He noted that expansion of the pilot project along the entire coastline is not expected until 2034 or 2035.

“That doesn’t make sense,” Ashton told the council. “We could do something now.”

Ashton said more than 65% of the city’s shoreline currently lacks usable beach, calling the situation “unacceptable.”

“Forcing us to wait 10 years is irresponsible,” he said. “There are a lot of people trying to recreate on our existing beach.”

Ashton pointed to beach restoration efforts in nearby cities such as San Clemente, Encinitas and Solana Beach and called for Oceanside to show similar “political will.” He proposed using the city’s existing SCOOP permit to

Sheriff probes death

By Leo Place

SAN MARCOS — Homicide detectives with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department are investigating the death of an individual who was discovered in a San Marcos apartment on Saturday.

Sheriff’s officials said deputies from the San Marcos Patrol Station responded to a call around 3 p.m. regarding a person found deceased inside an apartment in the 1000 block of Armorlite Drive, across the street from Palomar College.

While the individual had no obvious signs of trauma, the Sheriff’s homicide unit took over the investigation due to the suspicious nature of the incident, the department said.

The investigation is ongoing, and the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office is determining the cause and manner of death.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call the Sheriff's Homicide Unit at (858) 285-6330/after hours at (858) 868-3200. You can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

...In Carlsbad, a pedestrian was struck and killed by a vehicle, authorities said.

The crash occurred around 5 a.m. on April 2 in the 6600 block of Carlsbad Boulevard, according to the Carlsbad Police Department.

Police officials said a vehicle traveling northbound, just north of Island Way, hit the pedestrian who was standing in the roadway.

The driver waited for police to arrive on scene, officials said. The victim was taken to a hospital, where the person died shortly afterward.

Further information about the victim and driver was not immediately available.

CONTINUED FROM 5

the San Luis Rey Band of Luiseño Indians stressed that the tribe supported the nonprofit’s mission and saw no conflict between the historic destination and the current programs offered at the park.

“Understand that we also, as a tribe, are in support of what Ivey Ranch is doing with their program,” Vernon said. “It’s not about their program, it’s about the earth under the ranch there.”

Other tribal members echoed that support, calling the land sacred and urging its protection. One speaker suggested the nonprofit may have outgrown the space and should consider relocating.

Every Journey Through Grief

At Allen Brothers Mortuary, we recognize that grief looks different for everyone - especially for individuals on the autism spectrum. This April, during Autism Acceptance Month, we reaffirm our commitment to create a compassionate, understanding space for all who grieve.

Those with autism may express sorrow in unique ways - some may struggle to find the right words, others may process loss through routine or sensory experiences. That’s why our staff strives to offer support that is sensitive, patient and inclusive.

Whether you’re planning ahead or navigating a recent loss, we’re here to walk with you - at your pace, in your way. Because grief is universal. And so is the need to be understood.

The priorities identi ed in the Consolidated Plan direct the allocation of funds for the FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan, which is the rst Annual Action Plan in the FY 2025-30 Consolidated Plan. For FY 2025-26, the City of Carlsbad anticipates an annual entitlement grant of $550,741.

The draft FY 2025-30 Consolidated Plan and FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan will be available for 30-day public review beginning on Monday, Mar. 31, 2025, on the city’s website: https:// www.carlsbadca.gov/city-hall/grants-assistance/cdbg.

City grants $6M loan for Richmar project

By Leo Place

SAN

MARCOS

— The San Marcos City Council has unanimously approved a $6 million loan for the Richmar Senior Village project, a proposed 52-unit affordable senior housing development that has been in the works for several years.

Richmar Senior Village will be located on a vacant site at the intersection of Firebird Lane and Richmar Avenue, across from Richmar Park. The project will be designated for adults 55 and over, making between 30% and 60% of the area median income, with eight units set aside for veterans.

At its Tuesday meeting, the council agreed to amend an existing development and loan agreement with developer National CORE, which proposed a much larger version of the project in 2015 called Richmar Station.

However, these plans became less feasible over the years, and National CORE began to pursue a more condensed 52-unit project in 2023. San Marcos previously granted

The $6 million loan and agreement with the city will be crucial to helping National CORE obtain other funding for the project, particularly in the form of low-income tax credits from the county. The organization applied but was unsuccessful in the most recent round of county funding, but will be applying again in the future.

“The city’s funding commitment will assist the developer in achieving additional funding sources and bringing the project to fruition,” said Housing and Neighborhood Services Director Sylvia Daniels.

The total costs of the development are around $32 million. Along with the city’s $6 million loan, National CORE receives $16 million in private sector funding and assurances of a mortgage of around $5.3 million, National CORE Vice President of Acquisitions John Seymour said.

“The private sector is coming to the table. It’s not just the city and the county funding this project. Your money will be leveraged to the greatest extent possible,” Seymour said.

If National CORE can obtain tax credits, they hope to receive final approvals for the project in 2025 and begin construction in late 2027. A waitlist will likely open a few months before construction is complete.

SANDAG gets permits for bridge undercrossing

Pedestrians now must cross tracks illegally on trail

By Leo Place

DEL

MAR

— The city of Del Mar has granted SANDAG encroachment permits to build a pedestrian undercrossing at the new San Dieguito rail bridge, which will connect to the Coast to Crest Trail.

SANDAG plans to begin work in early 2026 on replacing the 108-year-old San Dieguito Railway River Bridge, which carries trains over the San Dieguito Lagoon. The wooden trestle bridge will be replaced with a concrete bridge elevated above the floodplain.

The new bridge is one element of the $347 million San Dieguito Double Track and Special Events Platform Project, which will add 2.1 miles of double tracking between Solana Beach and Del Mar, and a special events platform at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

The planned undercrossing at the south end of the bridge will connect the Coast to Crest Trail with a walkway beneath the new bridge. Currently, pedestrians must walk across the rail tracks to continue on the trail.

“The pedestrian undercrossing on the south side of the river would provide a legal, grade-separated pedestrian crossing that currently does not exist at this location to connect the Coast to Crest Trail,” a city staff report states.

The City Council was unable to vote on the permits at its Tuesday meeting due to a lack of a quorum of non-conflicted members.

Only three council

posed the timing of the bridge replacement and double-tracking project. In January, the council asked SANDAG to delay the project until after a route had been chosen for the Del Mar rail realignment project.

members were present, with Dan Quirk absent. Tracy Martinez and John Spelich had to recuse themselves due to the proximity of their homes to the project site.

Instead, the council delegated authority to City Manager Ashley Jones to approve permits for the project.

“This was an exception-

al action that was primarily done to ensure that the City was able to consider and process SANDAG’s encroachment permit timely since this item has been pending Council consideration for the last two Council meetings,” Jones said.

The Coast to Crest Trail is a planned 71-mile trail extending from Volcan Mountain in Julian to Del Mar.

Approximately 20 miles of gaps remain before the trail is complete.

The new trail and undercrossing at the bridge will be graded and range in width from 8 feet to 12 feet, according to the city.

SANDAG’s permits will also allow them to relocate utility lines, install a new firewater main near the fairgrounds, build a slope embankment, and construct a temporary platform to support the double track construction.

They will also construct a new driveway along Jimmy Durante Boulevard at 21st Street for North County Transit District to conduct rail maintenance and access its utility shed.

SANDAG expects the bridge replacement, double tracking and special events platform project to take around four and a half years and finish in 2030.

Judge admonished for comments

By City News Service

SAN DIEGO — A recently retired San Diego Superior Court judge was publicly admonished April 3 by the state’s agency that investigates judicial misconduct complaints for missing more than 150 days of work and making “undignified, discourteous and offensive comments’’ while on the bench.

Judge Howard Shore was previously censured by the state’s Commission on Judicial Performance for frequent absences, while Thursday’s decision also references comments he made that could be “reasonably

Last year, an Orange County Superior Court judge disqualified Shore from hearing several Racial Justice Act motions.

The commission wrote that Shore denied his comments reflected bias or that he was opposed to the Racial Justice Act.

Regarding his absences from the bench, Shore said his frequent Fridays away from the courthouse stemmed from a personal issue involving a family member living in Los Angeles.

placing sand before the pilot project is complete could be counterproductive, as it may wash away before retention measures are in place. He noted that nearly 300,000 cubic yards of sand placed in South Oceanside several years ago disappeared within two years.

Parole ban for aging sex offenders advances

By City News Service REGION

— A bill co-authored by state Sen. Brian Jones, R-Santee, and sponsored by the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office, which aims to prevent people convicted of violent sex offenses from receiving elderly parole, was unanimously passed by the state Senate Public Safety Committee on Tuesday.

Proponents say Senate Bill 286 would close a

loophole that allowed for early releases of violent sex offenders through the state’s elderly parole program. Its authors have dubbed the bill as “Mary-Bella’s Law’’ after two of the victims.

The program makes parole hearings available for inmates over 50 years of age if they have served at least 20 years of their prison sentence.

A prior law change lowered the program’s age

County expands citrus quarantine

By City News Service VALLEY CENTER —

The state Department of Food and Agriculture has declared a citrus quarantine expansion in the community of Valley Center, after detecting a fatal disease known as “citrus greening’’ in two trees located in residential neighborhoods during regular inspections, San Diego County announced April 4.

This bacterial disease called Huanglongbing (or HLB) “is a major threat to San Diego County’s $144 million annual citrus crop and can impact residential citrus tree owners,’’ county officials said in a statement.

HLB “causes misshapen, bitter fruit and eventually kills infected trees,’’ according to the county. “There are over 350 businesses that may be affected by the quarantine expansion, including over 100 growers with approximately 1,700 acres of commercial citrus and three commercial nurseries.’’

The county samples from trees on the property where HLB was confirmed, along with the surrounding area, are being tested for the disease.

According to the county, the state department declared the expansion on March 26. There was already an existing quarantine in place, although the start date was unavailable.

“The quarantine protects the region’s food supply, agricultural economy, and environmental sustainability by restricting people and businesses from moving

Hargrove also questioned how cannabis tax revenue would be allocated.

“Releasing violent rapists under the so-called ‘Elderly Parole’ is not only an insult to victims but a grave danger to Californians,’’ Jones said at a news conference outside the Capitol in

“SB 286 finally corrects this failure and ensures that rapists and child molesters don’t have a ‘get out of jail free card’ just because they turned 50. Mary-Bella’s Law helps ensure the most violent sex offenders serve their full sentences, regardless of age, and puts the safety of

Californians first.’’

The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office has criticized the law change that lowered the program’s age of qualification and opposed the potential releases of several prisoners under the new law.

In recent years, a man convicted of kidnapping and raping two women qualified for elder parole despite a sentence of 567 years to life. Another man

who raped seven women in Pacific Beach in the 1990s was sentenced to 96 years, but qualified for elder parole. Both men were denied release.

“It’s unfortunate that after a horrific crime such as rape or child molest happens to you and the perpetrator receives a lengthy prison sentence, victims have to continue to fight for justice years later,’’ Stephan said in a statement.

citrus nursery stock, plant parts and fruit outside the quarantine boundaries and off their properties. Unfortunately, Huanglongbing is fatal to citrus,’’ said San Diego Agricultural Commissioner Ha Dang.

“Our goal is to prevent this disease from spreading,’’ Dang said. “By working together, we can all protect our food supply, local agriculture, and environment from this devastating disease.

“Partnering with state and federal regulatory partners, we are working closely with residents and agricultural operators, and ask for everyone’s cooperation with the ongoing regulatory activities,’’ Dang added.

An exception is being made for agricultural businesses that must comply specific requirements for cleaning, packing commercial fruit (prior to it be moved) and treatment, according to the county.

While the disease isn’t harmful to people or animals, it’s “deadly to citrus and could be devastating to the county’s citrus industry,’’ the county said.

The Asian citrus psyllid spreads HLB, if it carries the bacterium when feeding on citrus trees.

There are existing HLB quarantines in Fallbrook, Oceanside, Rancho Bernardo and Valley Center, the county said, adding that the expanded quarantine involves citrus-growing regions in Pala and Pauma Valley.

Revenue generated through the program would go to the county’s general fund, which may be used in incorporated cities and unincorporated areas.

The Fallbrook Planning Group also included recommendations on operation hours, setbacks and other regulatory controls in its formal comments.

The 60-day comment period for the draft environmental impact report closed March 31. All feedback will be reviewed as the county prepares the final environmental report, which is expected by the end of the year.

The program will then go before the county Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors for final consideration.

“Denise was an employee of Dr. Bronner’s at the time of her death two years ago. She was a cherished employee and treasured member of Dr. Bronner’s community and a beloved daughter, sister, mother, and family member. We hold her and all those who loved her in our hearts,” the statement said.

“The Lozano and Bronner families have now resolved the legal case amicably, and the lawsuit against the Dr. Bronner’s company, as well as its CEO, and other employees, will be dismissed.”

The Vista-based company explained that Dr. Bronner’s does offer ketamine-assisted therapy as an employee benefit; however, the massage Lozano received was not part of the company-provided program.

In addition, neither David nor Mia Bronner recommended that Lozano get a ketamine massage, the company asserted.

“The lawsuit alleges that Denise died while receiving a form of ketamine treatment that may have involved other drugs. She received the treatment at her home, unrelated to the legal and authorized program Dr. Bronner’s company offers as a mental health benefit,” Dr. Bronner’s said.

Lozano, described as a kind and loving artist and activist, worked at Dr. Bronner’s in a group of artists and performers called the “Foamy Homies,” who dance and blast all-natural foam at community events in the “Magic Foam Experience.”

In addition to her role at Dr. Bronner’s, Lozano was a director at Amikas, a nonprofit building tiny homes for homeless women and children. She was involved in the community creator space CoLab.

Attorney Marc Bragg, representing the Lozano family, said they reached an amicable resolution with Dr. Bronner’s and are now focusing on Allbert, 64. Bragg said they have served him with the lawsuit, but that he has not responded or made any appearance in court.

Allbert told The Coast News last week he was not aware of the lawsuit. He was sent a copy of the complaint, and he declined to comment.

According to the San

Diego County Medical Examiner’s autopsy report, Lozano had a scheduled ketamine massage at her home on Dec. 12, 2022. The masseuse provided a two-hour massage, and at around 5:30 p.m., Lozano took ketamine and went to lie down in her bed while the masseuse waited on her couch.

After waiting “a while,” the report says the masseuse checked on Lozano and found her unresponsive in her bed. He called 9-1-1 at around 6:37 p.m., with paramedics arriving soon after and confirming her to be deceased.

The report does not clarify whether the masseuse provided the MDA that Lozano took. However, her family’s lawsuit claims that Allbert gave her the substance, and that she was led to believe it was ketamine.

The autopsy report confirms that no ketamine was found in her system.

“Defendant Allbert did not advise or inform Denise that he was providing her with MDA or MDMA, or any other controlled substances in combination with MDA or MDMA,” the suit states.

The lawsuit also claims that Allbert waited longer than he should have to call paramedics, which may have tampered with the scene.

Bragg said the family held off on filing a lawsuit against Allbert because other agencies, including the San Diego Police Department and Drug Enforcement Administration, said they were conducting their own investigations into the incident.

However, Bragg said the family began to receive “mixed messages” from in-

vestigators about the status of the investigation, and Allbert was ultimately never charged in connection with Lozano’s death.

“It felt like it evaporated. We felt like there was enough evidence there to arrest him,” Bragg said. “We’re gooing to start focusing on Allbert and trying to locate him.”

Kelly McKay, spokesperson for the DEA’s San Diego field office, said their investigation into Lozano’s death is closed and declined to provide further comment. The San Diego Police Department did not respond to inquiries by print deadline.

The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office did not comment directly on the case. However, spokesperson Tanya Sierra said the office can only file charges “when we believe we can prove them beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Allbert has faced other charges from the District Attorney’s Office. In 2023, less than a year after Lozano’s death, Allbert was arrested for possession of cocaine, ketamine, MDMA, metal knuckles and a leaded cane, and sentenced to two years of felony probation in January 2024. According to the business website, Allbert’s expertise at Soul Reintegration includes “qi gong, breathwork, crystal grid work, nutritional guidance, plant medicine, and sound healing.” However, he does not appear to be certified as a massage professional through the California Massage Therapy Council, which issues licensing for massage therapists and practitioners.

The next hearing in the case is in May at the San Diego Central Courthouse.

Encinitas grants alcohol permit to cafe

By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS —

The Planning Commission on Thursday unanimously approved a permit allowing A Little Moore Café to serve beer and wine at its new location along North Coast Highway 101 in Leucadia.

The permit grants the newly relocated restaurant a Type 41 license from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for on-site consumption of beer and wine indoors and on its outdoor patio.

The restaurant is located at the new Shatto Building at 698 N. Coast Highway 101, a new structure that replaced a building destroyed by fire in 2019.

According to a city planner who presented the staff report at the meeting, the restaurant currently operates during breakfast and lunch. However, the permit would allow alcohol service daily from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. indoors and until 10 p.m. on the outdoor patio. Distilled spirits would remain prohibited, except for cooking.

The applicant, James Shatto, held a neighborhood meeting on March 19 where property owners and tenants within 500 feet of the project site were invited to discuss the request for alcohol service.

Five neighbors attended the meeting and voiced

concerns about noise, limited parking and late-night alcohol service. One neighbor expressed support for the project.

“I did have some concerns about the early hour of the service being provided, but nothing that brings it to the level of objecting,” said Commissioner William Brent Whitteker. “I think they sound very responsible.”

Commissioner Susan Sherod also voiced support.

“Breakfast does include alcohol, sometimes, for some people. So I’m okay,” she said.

Jennifer Winter, a co-owner of A Little Moore Café, spoke about her personal ties to the community and her desire to preserve a piece of old Encinitas.

“This is a business that we acquired that had been in the community a very long time,” Winter said. “Being able to continue business and get this license will help us stay in business.”

Lifelong Leucadians Deon Dickey and Andy Vasquez reopened the beloved eatery when the original owners, Chang and Mison Han, closed the business after 50 years.

The cafe’s reopening has been met with warm reception from locals, who appreciate the owners’ commitment to keeping the cafe’s nostalgic, old-school diner vibe. The new owners say the menu has stayed true to its roots, featuring classic items like Han’s teriyaki and eggs and traditional American diner staples.

New bike rules coming to Del Mar

City Council aims to align with neighboring cities

By Leo Place

DEL

MAR

— The Del Mar City Council unanimously approved new regulations for bicycles and e-bikes on April 7, in order to align with rules in neighboring coastal jurisdictions.

City leaders said the regulations are needed due to the recent increase in e-bikes and the higher risk they pose, and to create consistent regulations between Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas, which are all served by the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station.

Increased enforcement and regulations around e-bikes in North County began to take shape in 2022, after two cyclists on e-bikes were killed within one week of each other last summer in Carlsbad. In 2023, the Encinitas community was also shaken by the death of a 15-year-old who was killed in a collision while riding an e-bike.

Both Solana Beach and Encinitas adopted new bike regulations in 2023, and in Del Mar, adopting an e-bike ordinance consistent with other jurisdictions is one of the city’s priority items in its work plan.

“We have been lucky in the big scheme of things.

We’re hearing from other communities that have had a proliferation of e-bikes, and along with that, some very dangerous conditions, serious accidents, other things,” said City Manager Ashley Jones. “Fortunately, Del Mar has not seen that magnitude here, but it’s important for us to keep our code updated.”

Proposed regulations presented Monday require bikes to use the designated bike path or bikeway whenever there is one available, and prohibit bikes from riding in any park or preserve or along trails or walkways at the San Dieguito Lagoon or River Valley, unless otherwise noted.

Riders will also be required to wear and strap

helmets, and follow all applicable laws such as yielding to pedestrians and obeying traffic signals and signs.

Importantly, the ordinance also adds a diversion program in Del Mar, which allows first-time violators of bike laws to take a bike safety training course approved by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department rather than receiving a citation.

One regulation remains to be decided regarding sidewalks. The ordinance presented Monday prohibits riding bikes on sidewalks in the business district, which city staff said is consistent with the cities of Solana Beach and Encinitas.

However, some council

members said they would like to see bikes prohibited on all sidewalks. Councilmember Tracy Martinez said she would be “hardpressed” to approve an ordinance without this stipulation.

“I do not support riding on sidewalks on bikes, period,” Martinez said.

City leaders said they would research this issue further, and bring back other options when the council reviews the ordinance again for a second reading.

While Del Mar hasn’t seen the same fatal bike accidents as some neighboring cities, bikers note that there are still safety risks.

Mayor Terry Gaasterland, an avid e-biker, said that when biking on Highway 101, cars will often back up into the bicycle lane without noticing the people riding there.

“I myself have practically run into cars that are in front of me, and the only place to go is the road,” Gaasterland said. “I use my e-bike all over the city, and I try to be very safe and try not to die.”

Resident Brad Walters also noted that there are scenarios where it’s necessary to leave the bike lane and go on the road, including when making a left turn or to avoid parked vehicles or debris blocking the lane.

City staff said the ordinance would account for these scenarios.

Every year there are over twenty thousand chimney/ fireplace related house fires in the US alone. Losses to homes as a result of chimney fires, leaks and wind damage exceeds one hundred million dollars annually in the US.

CHIMNEY SWEEPS, INC., one of San Diego’s leading chimney repair and maintenance companies, is here to protect you and your home from losses due to structural damage and chimney fires.

Family owned and operated and having been in business for over 30 years, Chimney Sweeps Inc. is a fully licensed and insured chimney contracting company (License #976438) and they are certified with the National Fireplace Institute and have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

For a limited time, readers of this paper will receive a special discount on our full chimney cleaning and safety inspection package with special attention to chimney water intrusion points in preparation for the rainy season.

SDA’s Yarbrough aims for new pole vault mark

Owner of county sophomore record eyes junior honors

By Noah Perkins

ENCINITAS — After a record-breaking sophomore season, San Dieguito Academy junior Dylan Yarbrough is aiming even higher this spring — literally.

Last year, Yarbrough set the sophomore record at the 2024 Jaguar Invitational at Don Nicholson Stadium in Tracy with a vault of 16 feet, 2 inches. The vault surpassed the previous record of 16 feet set by La Costa Canyon alum Garrett Brown.

“My previous personal record was 15 feet,” Yarbrough said. “When I got to the meet, there was a strong tailwind, so I cleared 15 easily. Then we moved to 15’3” and 15’6”. When we raised it to 16 feet, I cleared it. I just focused on hitting it hard and getting back fast. It was an amazing feeling with everyone cheering, knowing I had just set a record.”

Now a junior, Yarbrough has his sights set on the county junior record of 16 feet, 8 inches, set by University City’s Kai Anderson last season.

“I’m going for the record

this year,” Yarbrough said. “Right now, [Anderson] is clearing 16’9” and is aiming for 17 feet.”

Yarbrough has circled the Jaguar Invitational, Arcadia Invitational, and Mt.

SAC (San Antonio College) Relays as key meets where he hopes to make his mark.

“The bigger meets are coming up,” he said. “I’m not peaking yet. Next week, I’ll probably lay off heavy train-

ing and start going for higher bars.”

In pursuit of the record, Yarbrough has focused on improving his speed and comfort with larger poles. He currently uses a 16-foot

pole but plans to switch to a 16.5-foot model later this month.

“I can definitely improve my speed,” he said. “That will help me get on bigger poles. The higher-length pole is really going to fly me over.”

Pole vaulting runs in the family. His father, Jason Yarbrough, vaulted for UC Davis in the early 1990s and introduced Dylan to the sport through the North County Pole Vault Club in Escondido.

“It’s exciting because it’s a passion I had when I was growing up, and it’s fun to watch him share the same joy I had when I was vaulting,” Jason Yarbrough said. “To see him take off and develop so much faster than I ever did is an exciting journey to be on with him.”

Early on, Jason Yarbrough, who had a personal best of 14 feet, 6 inches in high school, watched in amazement as his son quickly surpassed his accomplishments, adding that he has a “natural aptitude.”

“The major step to becoming a real pole vaulter is bending the pole,” Dylan said. “I picked it up fast.”

Jason Yarbrough still recalls his son’s first meet as an eighth grader in Menifee.

“He got a personal record (PR) of 8 feet,” he said.

“You ring a bell when you set a personal record, and he kept going. He rang the bell five times by the end of the meet. I didn’t vault 10 feet until the end of my freshman year, and he did 10’6” in his first meet as an eighth grader.”

In addition to his dad, Dylan draws inspiration from Swedish Olympic champion Armand “Mondo” Duplantis.

“Mondo is going crazy right now setting world records,” Yarbrough said. “I love watching the Olympics.”

Off the track, Yarbrough is ASB president at San Dieguito Academy, elected by the student body.

“I wanted more leadership experience,” he said. “It’s a lot of meetings with the principal and public speaking and planning events, so it takes up a lot of my time, but it’s been fun.”

However, his achievements on the track have drawn early recruiting interest from Harvard and Stanford.

Yarbrough will compete in the Division II CIF San Diego Section Track and Field Championships on May 17 at University City High School. The top finishers will move on to the Masters finals the following Saturday, May 24, at Mt. Carmel High School.

SAN DIEGUITO Academy junior Dylan Yarbrough competes in the pole vault at a Jan. 11 event at Great Oak High School in Temecula. Last year, he set the county sophomore record with a vault of 16 feet, 2 inches. The junior record is currently 16 feet, 8 inches. Photo

Book backs women traveling solo

Traveling solo. Not something many of us will do — especially women. Who wants a table for one? What if you get lost? How do you stay safe?

All these are challenges when you hit the road alone, but Paula Silverfarb is here to say that women can go where they want and do it by themselves.

“Solo travel is more than just an adventure,” writes the Encinitas resident in her newly published “The Smart Woman’s Guide to Successful Solo Travel: Practical Tips and Advice for Women Traveling Alone.”

“It’s an opportunity for growth, self-discovery and newfound freedom. The word ‘solo’ isn’t just about being alone; it’s more like a

hit the road

mindset. ‘Solo’ encapsulates a spirit of individuality and self-development, a personal odyssey undertaken with intentionality.”

Silverfarb, who has long been an advocate for empowering women, learned early on that going it alone could mean having a richer experience.

“When I traveled with other people, I found I had to compromise my desires,” she says, “so after a few of those experiences, I realized that the time we spent hav-

ing disagreements is time I could’ve been in a museum. I purposely chose solo travel because I could make my own itinerary. After my first solo trip, I realized it was the best way for me to fully experience the destination.”

Silverfarb’s first solo trip was to Ireland in 1981 while living in England and attending university. She even hitchhiked around the country, something women prob ably wouldn’t attempt today.

“The green, rugged land scape of Ireland is gorgeous, and the beer is really a treat, too,” she says. “I think Ire land is particularly safe for solo women. The Irish are helpful, compassionate and friendly. Of course, there are bad apples everywhere. My tip is to always be vigilant.”

way.”

That’s because budget-friendly accommodations, especially hostels, are where “the real magic happens. They become vibrant hubs pulsating with shared stories, valuable tips and connections with like-minded adventurers.”

The author explains how to stay safe in the book, as well as lots of other helpful information about:

• General concerns about traveling solo

• Staying healthy

• How to pace yourself, deal with money, credit cards and travel insurance

• How and what to pack — the longer the trip, the less you should take because hauling heavy luggage gets old fast

• Online resources for travel books and magazines; virtual tour sites; travel sites for women; work, study and volunteer programs abroad; travel gear; and hostels

• How to travel on a budget

“Nearly all my travels have been on a shoestring budget.” Silverfarb says. “I wouldn’t have it any other

RICHMAR

CONTINUED FROM 12

there’s 1,500 people for 52 homes on the list,” Seymour said.

Councilmember Maria Nuñez emphasized the importance of reaching out to residents who may be interested in applying for units.

She also lamented the need for affordable housing in the city, particularly for seniors.

“Some of them probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting one of these coveted homes,” Nuñez said.

The three-story building will feature 10 studios, 41 one-bedroom apartments and one three-bedroom apartment.

Silverfarb grew up in suburban Los Angeles and “fell in love” with San Diego after graduating from UC San Diego. She settled here for good in 1987. After varied careers that included working in the financial industry, for the City of Carlsbad and the North County Transit District, within the county fair circuit, and for Ted Turner colorizing classic films, Silverfarb retired recently to focus on crafting, photography, teaching water aerobics and writing her book. She travels less these days but has collected memories from about 15 countries. Some she visited multiple times, and anecdotes from these trips are sprinkled throughout the advice in her book.

Most destinations were in Europe “mainly because I lived there a couple of times in my life,” she says. “I try to spend a quality amount of time in one place. When you solo-travel, you can go deeper — immerse yourself in the adventure. Traveling alone is not for everyone, but it’s my preference.”

Hope Through Housing Regional Director Stephanie De La Torre said they provide connections to medical and behavioral health care, access to food, and teach necessary life skills.

The organization has also been implementing gardens that residents can work in, which is good for their mental and physical well-being.

“One thing here in San Marcos is we’re always getting questions about senior housing. So it’s great that this will be available to seniors in the San Marcos community,” De La Torre said.

Each apartment will include either a balcony or patio, and one will be a manager’s unit.

The building will also include a community room, lounge area, outside gathering areas, garden beds, a communal laundry room and an elevator.

National CORE has developed hundreds of affordable units in San Marcos, particularly in the Richmar neighborhood. Other projects include the ongoing Villa Serena development, Alora and Estrella, Westlake Village, and Paseo de Oro.

The city will lease the Richmar Senior Village project to National CORE for a 99-year period.

Ten (of many) reasons to love 24 Suns in O’side

I’ll begin this love letter to 24 Suns by stating that there are far more than 10 reasons to get yourself there ASAP, but for the sake of word counts and such, I’ll highlight some that stood out.

First off, when I noticed the Oceanside location I assumed it was somewhere coastal and was pleasantly surprised that it was a few miles inland in a strip mall on Mission Avenue. It’s exactly one mile from my office warehouse in a light industrial, decidedly untrendy part of Oceanside and probably a smart decision from a cost perspective for the young team heading this exciting endeavor.

That segues smoothly into my next point of adoration, the team behind 24 Suns. It’s comprised of former Addison chefs Nic Webber and Jacob Jordan along with General Manager Kyle South, a seasoned wine expert and former lead sommelier at Addison as well. That is some serious talent behind 24 Suns and one of the primary reasons to give this place a visit.

And speaking of the name and concept, it’s a fascinating one for this visionary Chinese-influenced restaurant. It’s rooted in the philosophy of the 24 solar terms, blending ancient Chinese traditions with modern innovation, featuring dishes

steeped in history yet presented with a creative twist, and that is reason number three.

I’m going with the transformation of the interior space at 24 Suns as reason number four. You may remember Irina’s from a past Lick the Plate column. Well, they have completely renovated the interior and made it their own. The new interior draws inspiration from cultural motifs and symbolism, blending modern elegance with deep-rooted Chinese heritage. Highlights include a ruby-red vertical tile bar with a polished stone countertop, custom-built booths and an open kitchen window showcasing the artistry of the culinary team. A new lounge area with plush seating offers a cozy spot for cocktails.

Any restaurant whose

menu rotates every two weeks is making a serious effort to innovate and provide a unique and fresh experience for its customers. That’s exactly what the team at 24 Suns is doing and that means you should be checking their website on the regular to see what’s new. This level of culinary innovation and effort makes for a solid number five on my list.

I have to give some more love to GM and former Addison sommelier South as reason number six. This Taos, New Mexico, native has an impressive background and deep understanding of hospitality and beverage curation. His wine and sake lists are modest yet elegant and his suggestion of the Stift Göttweig Austrian Grüner Veltliner was perfect and made me smile given my recent Grüner obsession.

He was welcoming, fun and charming, further elevating the experience.

The elegant-without-the-attitude vibe that prevails at 24 Suns, the one that aims to create a Michelin-level dining experience, is my number seven. A team with this caliber of talent could easily intimidate but instead has created a worldclass dining experience in a modest location that welcomes everyone. I did not see an ounce of trendy, no servers in ironic T-shirts featuring retro rock stars or a DJ distracting with thumping beats. All that would take away from the food and that’s the star at this restaurant and what creates longevity in this business.

If you don’t mind, I’m going to lump together reasons seven through 10 as they pertain to our dining

experience. I think that as a whole warrants a big part of my Lick the Plate love for 24 Suns.

The meal started with a very classy move, one that brought back memories of being upgraded to first class on Delta and receiving a warm washcloth to start meal service — and has since been discontinued. In this case a copper bowl was presented with a tightly wrapped small towel in warm water. It goes back to when everyone was required to wash their hands in a

large copper basin before entering an imperial palace for a feast.

To kick things off, we went with the one-of-a-kind Bird’s Nest, a literal nest made from Kataifi, a Middle Eastern dough sliced uberthin and crispy to form a nest for a smoked swordfish rillette with green Sichuan, cilantro and roe. A first for me and a flavor and texture explosion of goodness.

The Sichuan Dry Aged Toro Crudo with mala chili oil, peppers and gooseberry was world-class as well. As you may be aware, toro is tuna belly and when prepared correctly melts in your mouth, and the foam that provided the bed was lick the plate worthy for sure. My culinary education was furthered when I learned that jiaozi is a traditional Chinese dumpling and theirs with doubanjiang butter, scallop, shrimp and charred pineapple was dumplings elevated to a higher level.

The Brown Butter Fried Jidori Chicken, Snake River Farms Wagyu, Five Regions Half Duck and Wok’d Local Greens are my bonus reasons. But honestly, the entire menu looked spectacular. 24 Suns is definitely worth checking out. Please note hours and menu updates at www.24sunsdining. com and find them at 3375 Mission Ave., Oceanside.

I Like Beer

For craft beer enthusiasts, springtime brings more than just warmer weather and longer days. It means the annual return of Russian River Brewing’s Pliny the Younger. And, in our town, it means the San Diego Beer News Awards.

Pliny the Younger was first brewed by Russian River Brewing in 2005. In the 20 years since its inception during the boredom of “the slow days of winter,” according to the Russian River website, the triple IPA has developed into a phenomenon that brings out beer lovers and nerds far and wide.

The core of the beer’s profile is the same as the original version, but each year a subtle change is made to offer something for beer enthusiasts to wax philosophical about while sipping away. This year, Russian River added Tangier hops to give more orange-flavored notes.

The rarity of the beer added to the 10.5% abv

punch it packs means it's served in a smaller tulip glass in most places. This encourages sipping, which was harder to do with this year’s version than last year’s. The 2025 version is more easy drinking with the bitterness dialed back slightly and a dry finish leaving you wanting another taste.

In San Diego, there are only a few places lucky enough to pick up the handle and a keg or two for the

coveted but limited release. One such place, PCH Sports Bar in South Oceanside.

Owner Amy O’Donnell has been a fan of Russian River since she opened her venue 17 years ago. I visited on a very busy afternoon with a long line for Pliny already forming, but O’Donnell took me into “The Ship” side of PCH to chat over a beer.

O’Donnell: We are very good pals with Russian Riv-

er. We are good customers, and they are good to us. So, we get Pliny the Younger and we do a Russian River tap takeover. We have eight beers from Russian River on tap right now.

ILB: How many taps do you have in total and how many are craft beers?

O’Donnell: 20 total taps. And all are crafts. It’s part of our agreement with the world. No crap on tap. We’ve been doing this a long

time. We are usually the first line of defense for beer education.

ILB: Where did this passion for craft beer come from?

O’Donnell: It just evolved with the city. In that crash of 2008, beer in San Diego was little less touched. Beer saved America. Beer saved San Diego for sure!

ILB: Was there a beer back then that you just had to have on tap?

O’Donnell: I’m an IPA drinker. We had Stone. And the Stone rep put me in touch with Russian River, and then it still took two years to get Pliny the Elder.

ILB: And what do you think of this year’s Pliny the Younger?

O’Donnell: It’s delicious. They did something a little different; it’s a little smoother this year.

ILB: What exactly is “The Ship”?

O’Donnell: “The Ship” is the dark side of PCH Sports Bar — in a good way. On Friday and Saturday nights after 5, we stop making liquor drinks on the other side and you must come here to “The Ship” and deal with the pirates.

ILB: It feels like grownup "Pirates of the Caribbean" in here.

O’Donnell: The murals were painted by local artist

Sean Dominguez. It changes up seasonally too. It’s a community art project for sure.

ILB: Besides “The Ship,” what makes PCH Sports Bar special?

O’Donnell: We are all here all the time. We are all long-term employees, locals, working hard and making people feel good about South O. Don’t ignore your local places!

Cheers to that! And we have a lot of amazing local breweries here in North County as evidenced by the San Diego Beer Awards 2025. Here’s a partial list of the bling brought in by our locals:

• Best Breweries: Pure Project Vista (North) and Burgeon Beer (West)

• Best New Breweries: Weir Beer (2nd) and The Roadies (3rd)

• Best Hoppy Beer (nonIPA): Burgeon’s Carlsbad Crush

• Best Sour/Wild Ale: Pure Project’s Mount Eden

• Best Coffee Beer: Pizza Port’s Bacon & Eggs For the complete rundown of winners, see the San Diego Beer News website.

Learning, engagement all summer long at The Rhoades School

At The Rhoades School, our academic year is full of hands-on learning and opportunities for each student to engage their whole self in education. But we don’t stop there. Our summer camp begins the week of June 16th and runs until August 22nd, with a wide variety of offerings available to fit the interests of each student.

We invite anyone in our community, whether they are a current student or not, to join us for summer camp! This is a great chance to make new friends, explore a new interest, keep the mind engaged, and learn something new, all while having a blast.

EMBRACE THE ADVENTURE

This summer, our theme is “Embrace the Adventure”—and that is just what we plan to do! Whether enrolled in our Day Camp, Academic Camp, or one of our Specialty Camps, new adventures await.

Our Day Camp is available to rising Kindergarten through 5th Grade students. We mix time indoors and outdoors and keep campers busy with a variety of subjects so that everyone

can explore new things. This includes art and design, science and nature exploration, community service, and skill development with friendly competition.

Our themes this year feature “Artists Studio”, “Urban Designers”, “STEAM Academy”, “Crack the Code”, “Kids Helping Kids”, and more!

SPECIALTY CAMPS WITH A FOCUS ON FUN

This year in our Specialty Camps, we are excited to see what our artistic campers create in Booksicals, Cartooning, Movie Maker, Wild About Art, and Art Deco camps.

We also offer two different age-group sections of Dungeons and Dragons camp, along with a section of Magic: The Gathering camp. Campers can also participate in two camps focused on foods from various cultures with our Pizza World Tour and our Global Celebrations camps.

EDUCATION THROUGH ACADEMIC CAMPS

Odd Files

Americans Abroad

Ukrainian American national Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov, 24, was arrested on March 30 after he made a visit to a remote island in the Indian Ocean, the New York Post reported.

North Sentinel Island is home to a hostile, isolated tribe called the Sentinelese, and traveling there is banned. Polyakov was seen taking off in a small boat around midnight on March 29, with his only cargo a coconut and a can of Coke, which he intended to present as “offerings for the Sentinelese.”

HS Dhaliwal, the director general of police on the Andaman Islands, said officials were trying to find out more about Polyakov. He did make it to the island but appeared to be ignored by the natives. He left his offerings on the beach and collected sand samples, then returned to South Andaman. Police say in January, Polyakov filmed another remote tribe, the Jarawa, while visiting the Baratang Islands.

An American missionary, John Allen Chau, was killed with an arrow by the Sentinelese in 2018. [NY Post, 4/2/2025]

Surprise!

When a babysitter in Great Bend, Kansas, helpfully looked under the bed to check for “monsters” on March 24, she actually found one, NBC News reported.

The Barton County Sheriff’s Office was called to the home, where the babysitter had come face-to-face with a man hiding under the child’s bed, around 10:30 p.m. After a short altercation with the babysitter, the man fled the home. The suspect, who was captured the next morning, was Martin Villalobos Jr., 27, who once lived in the house.

Villalobos was under a protection order and had been warned to stay away from the home. He was arrested on charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, aggravated

battery, child endangerment and other offenses and held on $500,000 bond. [NBC News, 3/27/2025]

Awwww!

Pat DeReamer of Louisville, Kentucky, and Mary Wheaton go waaaaay back — all the way to 1944 in Indianapolis, when Wheaton gave DeReamer a birthday card for her 14th birthday on April 1. When Wheaton’s birthday came around a month later, DeReamer added her own message to the same card and gave it back to Wheaton.

For the last 81 years, they’ve been sending the card back and forth, WLKYTV reported.

“We never said, ‘We’re going to do this,’” DeReamer said. “It just happened.” Now in their 90s, the old friends don’t get together as much, but they remain “really good friends.” [WLKY, 4/2/2025]

Animal Antics

Mail carrier Wayne White was on his route in Hyannis, Massachusetts, on March 28 when he ran into a flock of troublemakers, WHDH-TV reported.

As he got in and out of his truck and delivered mail, three wild turkeys followed and harassed him while he tried to fend them off with a box. “Every time I moved the truck, the turkeys followed,” White said.

One encounter with the birds was caught on a home’s surveillance video and showed White trying to do his job as they gobbled at him. “I do a lot of stuff on Nantucket, so I see deer all the time, but this is my first time with turkey,” he said. [WHDH, 3/29/2025]

A Cautionary Tale

Minot, North Dakota, mayor Tom Ross resigned on April 1, which some might find a fitting date for his ignominious downfall.

KMOT-TV reported that Ross was the subject of a complaint made in late January by the city attorney, Stefanie Stalheim, who said she had received a sexually explicit text from Ross. Ross admitted he had made a video of himself masturbating during his lunch break, intending to send it to his romantic partner.

“I do take responsibility for this mistake,” Ross said. “I tried to immediately correct it and was unable.”

Criminally Stupid

Crush Comics in California’s Castro Valley was burglarized on March 22, CBS News reported. The thief took a display of the store’s most valuable comic books, said owner Josh Hunter. He figured they were gone for good, but then, just 12 hours later, one of his employees stumbled upon an eBay listing for a very specific comic book from the store.

“I’m just going to buy that and see what happens,” Hunter said. When he got the seller’s name and address, he searched on Instagram and saw the burglar’s offer to buy, sell or trade Lego sets. Next, Hunter called another comic shop and a toy store that had also been broken into and shared his findings.

When the sleuths turned their results over to police, Alameda County Sheriff’s officers served a search warrant at the home of Noorullah Amiri, 29, of Livermore, where they found tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of comic books, collectibles and Lego sets. Amiri was taken into custody on March 27. [CBS News, 4/2/2025]

Alarming Headline

Felipe Hoyos-Foronda, 38, of Queens, New York, was taken into custody at John F. Kennedy International Airport on March 28 after a medical procedure at his home went south, CBS News reported.

According to police, a 31-year-old woman went to Hoyos-Foronda’s home to have her butt implants removed. When the woman suffered complications, he called EMS and then took off, intending to flee to Colombia. First responders found the woman unresponsive.

The criminal complaint said Hoyos-Foronda admitted to performing the procedure without a license and administering lidocaine, “causing her to go into cardiac arrest.”

Officials say the victim is still hospitalized with no brain activity, and she shows signs of lidocaine toxicity. [CBS News, 4/2/2025]

Tree doctor wins award 2 years in a row

For over 40 years, Russell Bowman has been delighting residents of San Diego County with his plant and tree expertise.

So, it’s no wonder Bowman Plant & Tree Care Specialists have been named the San Diego Union-Tribune Community Press’ “Best of North County” voters’ poll for tree and plant care for a 2nd year in a row!

He is lovingly referred to as the San Diego “tree doctor extraordinaire” by his clients, Bowman is known for transforming sickly trees and gardens into Disneyesque wonderlands.

Using his own proprietary blend of organic biological nutrition, Bowman uses techniques he picked up during his time as a horticulturist at Disneyland.

“When you feed plants, you need to ensure they have enough time to absorb the nutrition, before it is degraded by the sun’s rays,” he said.

He’s done more than just care for sick plants and trees, he’s revolutionized both residential and commercial properties by the use of his organic fertilizer tanks that inject his proprietary formula through your irrigation systems.

He fills these magical fertigation tanks monthly to keep your property looking healthy and vibrant all year long.

In a very short time, this program pays back through reduced water bills.

“When you give your body proper nutrition, it affects your overall health and boosts your immunity, so you don’t get sick. The same is true for plants and trees.” Bowman feeds complete “nutrition delivery biology” derived from earthworm castings to replenish the missing healthy soil biology.

This works with a client’s current irrigation system so that each time the landscaping is watered, the needed soil biology is replenished.

“This is the secret to keeping your property look-

ing like a Disney five-star resort.”

Russell is quick to point out that healthy plants and trees are also environmentally friendly. A healthy plant will be more efficient at photosynthesizing sunlight into oxygen and the healthy soil/ compost helps bring down uses far less water.

He donates his time and expertise for the trees for the Point Loma Association and gardens at the Rock Church in Point Loma, Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, the YMCA, Barnes Tennis Center, Chili’s Restaurants, Stone Brewery in Escondido, and San Diego Botanic Garden.

He also served with the San Diego Rose Society in Balboa Park for 12 years.

“My calling is to beautify the earth, making trees and plants healthy,” The Master Gardener taught me everything I know. I’ve learned that when you love some-

thing, it’s not something you have to do; it’s something you want to do.”
