Quake rattles county
No injuries, damage reported after 5.2 temblor
By City News Service
ENCINITAS — No major damage or injuries have been reported one day after a 5.2-magnitude struck the eastern San Diego County highlands and was felt as far north as Los Angeles.
“At this time, @SDSheriff has not received any reports of injuries or major damage caused by the earthquake,’’ officials with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office noted on social media around midday Monday, shortly after the temblor struck. “This is a developing situation.’’
Meanwhile, Cal Fire representatives also said that agency had not received any reports of injuries or property damage. Caltrans, however, reported that boulders had tumbled off a roadside embankment onto a stretch of state Route 76 near East Grade Road, just west of Lake Henshaw in Santa Ysabel.
The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services said the agency was working with local officials to assess any possible damage or impacts from the quake. The governor’s office issued a statement saying Gov. Gavin Newsom had been briefed on

Fed funds lost
Drainage, rail and road upgrades across North County were left unfunded in the latest federal budget, delaying progress on nearly $25 million in proposed improvements.
By Leo Place
Aseries of major infrastructure projects throughout North San Diego County have been left without requested federal dollars after being excluded from a federal spending bill, with lawmakers concerned about risks to additional funding allocations.
To prevent a government shutdown following disagreements about budget appropriations, Congress agreed in March to pass a continuing resolution to keep basic government functions up and running through September. As a result, all Com-
munity Project Funding requests to the House Committee on Appropriations were scrapped for the 2026 fiscal year.
Rep. Mike Levin (D-Laguna Niguel), appointed to the appropriations committee in January, submitted funding requests for 15 projects — nine in North San Diego County, totaling $24.5 million, and six in Orange County, totaling $21.2 million.
While Levin was looking forward to continuing to raise money for critical improvements in the 49th Congressional District, none of these projects re-
ceived funding in the budget passed by the Republican-controlled House and Senate.
“None of them will be funded, at least not immediately,” Levin said. “We’re really in unprecedented times right now where we’ve got a very volatile, unpredictable situation, and I wish we didn’t.”
Community Project Funding requests that missed out on funding this year in San Diego County include:

Interfaith plans new 150-bed recovery facility
Pending
By Leo Place
SAN
MARCOS
— Interfaith Community Services is partnering with the city of San Marcos to establish a 150-bed substance use disorder treatment facility along West Mission Road, pending the approval of state funding for the project.
On April 8, the San Marcos City Council approved an agreement with Interfaith and San Marcos United Methodist Church to establish a recovery and wellness campus at the church’s property at 800 West Mission Road. The item was approved as part of the consent calendar and was not pulled for discussion.
Interfaith is seeking funding through California’s Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) to cover around 90% of the total project cost, estimated to be between $40 million and $60 million. BHCIP will announce grant recipients in May.
“Together, Interfaith Community Services, San Marcos United Methodist Church, and Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation are in the initial phases of creating a safe and secure San Mar-
cos Recovery & Wellness Campus that would address the dire need for increased substance abuse treatment,”
Interfaith CEO Greg Anglea said. “Following submission of a grant application to the State of California late last year, our team is waiting to hear if funding might be awarded.”
“As we prepare for next steps and possible funding that would make the project possible, the team plans comprehensive outreach, listening, and education with the community,” Anglea continued.
Interfaith first reached out to the city about the idea for the facility in December when they applied for BHCIP funding, according to San Marcos Housing and Neighborhood Services Director Sylvia Daniels. Daniels said that a facility of this kind would provide crucial recovery ser-
vices and would align with the city’s Housing Element obligations to provide shelter space.
“We’re just excited about the opportunity for the partnership with Interfaith,” Daniels said. “I think the fact that it wasn’t brought up and wasn’t
pulled from the consent calendar acknowledges that it has full council support.”
If Interfaith is chosen for the BHCIP grant, it would fund the construction of a new 150-bed campus for substance use treatment and recovery. The funding would also grant the project by-right status, requiring the city to approve it ministerially.
However, Daniels said there will be opportunities to provide public input as the project goes through the city’s formal planning and permitting process.
The Mission Road property is owned by San Marcos United Methodist Church, but sits largely unused after the church merged with First United Methodist Church of Escondido. The Montessori School of San Marcos also operates on the property.
Lead Pastor Lisa Petty
said that while there are still many details to pin down regarding the treatment center project, she sees this as an opportunity to answer the church’s call to love all people, especially considering how many people are affected by addiction.
“My thoughts were, what a great idea for a space that really sits pretty fallow outside of the school … and how could we use it to help people in need in our community, with the recognition that we continue to see overdoses with fentanyl on the rise, we see alcohol abuse on the rise, and there’s so much need? What does it look like for us to help address this in conjunction with our community?” Petty said.
Petty also recognized that people may have concerns or questions about this type of facility. She said that if the funding is granted and plans move for-
ward, retaining walls and fences would separate the treatment campus from the Montessori School.
“I want to assure people that these are all things we have thought about, and want to have conversations with the community about, to hear them, address them, and make sure we can help people,” she said.
Need for beds
Under the agreement, Interfaith would lease the property from San Marcos United Methodist Church. One building would house the residential treatment program, and another would house the withdrawal management program. The center would have a 35-bed congregate withdrawal management program, a 90-bed residential treatment program with 47

The high costs of incompetence
It’s easy to blame the Trump administration for much of the incompetence that’s so readily visible in Washington, D.C. these days.
Certainly, some of the officials he worked hardest to get confirmed to his administration have exhibited among the highest levels of ineptitude. Those included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, national security advisor Mike Waltz and super diplomat Steve Witkoff, all of whom were on the Signal app dealing with top secret schedules for an air attack on Yemen’s Houthi militants, who have disrupted sea lanes in the Middle East.

WRITERS/COLUMNISTS INTERNS
n March 16, 2025, the New York Times ran a piece by opinion columnist Zeynep Tufekci titled “We Were Badly Misled About the Event That Changed Our Lives.”
The piece outlines how the Times was misled into reporting that a lab leak was unlikely to have caused the COVID-19 epidemic.
With more than 15,000,000 daily visits to its website, the New York Times is arguably the single most influential source of news in America today. Unlike its more heavily trafficked competitors, such as Google and YouTube, the Times, with about 1700 reporters, creates its own content, making it the 800-pound gorilla of the news. Many of the stories we read elsewhere actually originate in the Times.
So when the New York Times runs a story telling us how it was misled about the origin of a pandemic that killed millions, that story is itself big news. I found the piece heartening.
According to Gallup, in 1976, about 70% of Americans trusted the traditional print and broadcast media. Today that’s down to about 30%. Simply put, most people no longer trust the legacy media.
If that lost trust is ever to be regained, it will be through the kind of honest, self-critical journalism exemplified by this New York Times piece.
In broad strokes, then, here’s how they were misled.
At that juncture, it appears that the Times did not assign a team of reporters to thoroughly investigate the apparent tension between common sense and the authoritative pronouncements. It ran with the pronounce-
The Wuhan lab leak theory was once dismissed as a debunked conspiracy. Today, it’s the most probable hypothesis.
ments, as did most of the media.
However, a loosely knit group of internet researchers, independent scientists, and relatively obscure journalists did go on to investigate that tension and eventually found that several prominent scientists and high-ranking officials had deliberately lied to the media, probably to hide their role not only in sponsoring but actually in funding the research being conducted by the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That research included efforts to enhance the transmissibility and lethality of the coronavirus.
First, news outlets should be skeptical of authoritative pronouncements, especially those made by high-ranking officials. Such pronouncements should be thoroughly investigated before they are passed on to readers as true.
I mean, sometimes high-ranking officials lie, right?
They may lie about weapons of mass destruction. They may lie about a laptop computer. They may lie about an office break-in. They may lie about a dossier. They may lie about a research project gone horribly wrong. The list of possibilities is endless.
Second, when a news outlet discovers that it has been misled, it should immediately apologize to its readers and print a thorough explanation and correction. Anything less could further harm its reputation, already damaged by the misleading piece.
A belated and equivocal correction might cause even the casual reader to believe that the news outlet was merely serving as a mouthpiece for high-ranking officials. Some readers might even lose trust in that news outlet to the point where they cancel their subscriptions.
Somehow, the communication also went to the editor of the Atlantic magazine, who promptly revealed the security breach. Meanwhile, Russian hackers were trying also to breach the app. Later, it was disclosed Waltz and others in the Signal group also conducted other official business on insecure gmail accounts.
Just a “glitch,” Trump claimed of the security breach involving his top defense aides. That’s the same Trump who demanded onetime Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s imprisonment for using a non-government communication channel. Trump appeared to be using a very plain double standard.
Republicans in Congress also had no good excuses for their own incompetence, which has affected some of California most Trump-favoring counties. For more than 100 years, Congress awarded extra money — but never much, by federal budget standards — to counties whose land is largely owned by federal agencies like the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management.
Further federal incompetence has now reached levels and areas of expertise including public health and scientific research, with seemingly random cuts to the National Weather Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other grant-giving agencies like the National Institutes for Health.
This alarms some of the Democrats who control California government sufficiently to get them to make new commitments to fund research in California with state money, if the feds won’t do their share.
It’s worth noting California is already the nation’s leading ‘donor’ state, paying far more in federal taxes than the federal government spends here. In 2024, Californians paid $692.2 billion in federal taxes, while the state received $609.1 billion in federal funds, including Social Security payments, military pensions and all other forms of spending. (That amounted to a “donation” of more than $2,000 per Californian to folks in “recipient” states like Mississippi and West Virginia.)

In 2019, the Wuhan Institute of Technology was studying various coronavirus strains in its secure biolabs when a new and virulent strain infected people nearby. Common sense suggested a lab leak.
In 2020, several prominent scientists and high-ranking officials from various governmental and non-governmental organizations in the medical research community assured the New York Times and other media outlets that the COVID pandemic almost certainly did not start with a
A summary of the uncovered evidence is available on the U.S. Right to Know website, a nonprofit that investigates corruption in public health research.
The belief that SARSCoV-2 leaked from the Wuhan lab was once dismissed as a debunked conspiracy theory. Today, the lab leak theory is widely held to be the most probable hypothesis. Ironically, the only conspiracy was among that group of prominent scientists and high-ranking officials who so skillfully steered the Times away from the lab leak theory.
That is why “We Were Badly Misled About the Event That Changed Our Lives” is such a landmark story. The Times made a mistake, admitted it, apologized for it, and corrected it. Some critics point out that they could have acted a bit sooner and that their regret could have been conveyed somewhat less tacitly, but that is quibbling.
The Times did the right thing and, after all, trust can only be restored one small truth at a time.
If the New York Times were to run a few more such pieces, I might once again take out a subscription.
Scott H. Chambers is a cartoonist, writer, and songwriter who lives in Encinitas.
This year, that was to be just over $250 million, a pittance in a budget totaling more than $6 trillion. The money is supposed to help rural counties compensate for the fact that much of their territory can never be taxed, very different from urban counties where huge swaths of land are privately owned.
California’s share of the pot this year was to be about $33 million, reported CalMatters, the money going to small-population counties like Alpine, where 96% of land is federally owned, and Trinity (73%).
Because they can’t tax that land, the counties need a supplement to the property taxes they can assess to help pay for things like schools, road repairs and law enforcement.
Like most similar counties nationally, rural ones in California consistently vote Republican, but Democrats have never cut off their funds. This year,
Said Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener of San Francisco, “Scientific research and innovation is the engine of California’s prosperity. …This foundation of the state’s success is threatened by Elon Musk and President Trump’s efforts to bulldoze…our most esteemed scientific institutions.”
So he’s asking fellow legislators to set up a new state Institute for Scientific Research, which among other things would try to make sure Californians have access to the most modern vaccine updates even as Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tries to discredit some vaccination requirements for schoolchildren.
This all forms a picture of gross incompetence at the highest levels of the federal government, some of which might have to be made up for by state and local governments.

THE BEST OF NORTH COUNTY 2025
North County Businesses Boost Support for Military Families
In North County, the military is more than just present — it’s a vital part of everyday life. With bases stretching from Coronado to Camp Pendleton, San Diego County is a key hub for U.S. military operations. The Navy’s Pacific Fleet is headquartered here, the Marine Corps operates from Miramar and San Diego proper, and the Coast Guard maintains a strong presence. Camp Pendleton, located in North County, is the largest Marine Corps base in the country.
Cities like Oceanside, Carlsbad, and Del Mar share deep military ties and are expanding efforts to support the service members and families who call the area home. U.S. Rep. Mike Levin(D), whose district includes Camp Pendleton, emphasized the importance of community support.
“These men and women dedicate their lives to serving our country, and we owe it to them to provide stability and opportunity — especially for their families,” Levin said. “That starts with access to affordable housing, education, and jobs right here in North County.”
Affordable housing is a growing concern, with rental prices often exceeding what military families can afford. In response, local governments are collaborating with landlords and veteran organizations to increase rental assistance and affordable housing options.
Organizations like Support the Enlisted Project (STEP) and Armed Services YMCA Camp Pendleton provide emergency financial help, childcare, and resources for incoming families. Workforce support is also expanding, with the North County Chamber of Commerce teaming up with Hiring Our Heroes to host job fairs and networking events for military
spouses and transitioning service members.
Schools such as Oceanside Unified and Carlsbad Unified offer counseling and academic support for military-connected students. Local colleges, including MiraCosta College, have veterans’ centers that assist with advising, financial aid, and peer support.
Community events celebrate and honor those who serve. Oceanside’s Operation Appreciation offers a day of food, music, and fun for active-duty personnel. Carlsbad hosts the Military School Band & Choir Festival and an annual Veterans Day Parade. Local businesses, like Toyota Carlsbad, show appreciation through military discounts and special services.
North County is sending a strong message: military families aren’t just welcome — they’re an essential part of what makes the region thrive.

Encinitas changes permit parking rules
City to curtail permit abuse in Via Molena zone
By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS
— The Encinitas City Council on April 9 approved a series of changes to the city’s residential permit parking program in response to concerns from residents in the Via Molena neighborhood over permit abuse and continued parking issues.
The council voted 3-0, with Councilmember Luke Shaffer and Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes absent, to amend the municipal code governing the city’s pilot permit zone, known as Zone D. The updates include adding expiration dates to residential permits, raising fees, transitioning to a digital permitting system, and limiting the number of resident and guest passes per household based on unit size.
The changes follow a recent survey of Via Molena area residents who reported ongoing street parking issues, an excessive number of permits per household, and abuse of the guest pass system by nearby apartment tenants.
The city established Zone D in April 2023 after years of reported disturbances and spillover parking tied to The Resort at Encinitas apartment complex. Residents said conditions worsened after the complex began charging $25 per space for on-site parking, prompting tenants to park on surrounding streets, including Via Molena, Via Tavira, Via Sarasan, Via Palacio and Via Villena.
Community members described the resulting environment as unsafe and unsanitary, citing vandalism, discarded syringes and condoms, beer cans, public urination and defecation, and verbal harassment.
“We got permit parking because of social problems, not parking availability,” resident Sandra Anderson told the council. “The issues we faced included relentless
trash, discarded beer cans and bottles, used condoms and syringes, public urination and defecation, young women being harassed, car repairs taking place on our streets.”
While city staff initially recommended against establishing the zone due to adequate parking availability, the council moved forward following months of public input.
After the launch of Zone D, residents of the Ritz Colony and The Cape apartments complained they could no longer park on nearby public streets. Residents on Beechtree Street also reported increased parking and nuisance activity shifting into their neighborhood.
In response, the council expanded the permit area to include the Ritz Colony and The Cape apartments.
Mayor Bruce Ehlers, who led the push for the original zone, said the program was always about protecting residents’ safety.
“The primary issue here was quality of life and safety, too,” Ehlers said. “I don’t know how many slide shows of debris, drinking, throw up, illicit activity, material on your neighborhood cars, cars being worked on, people drinking in and around their cars — during the day, evening, and night.”
At last week’s meeting, Ehlers introduced a motion that included:
• Removing a clause limiting permit zone findings to commercial uses
• Adding a one-year expiration date to residential
permits
• Capping permits by unit size (one for a one-bedroom, two for 2–3 bedrooms, three for 4+ bedrooms)
• Reducing guest pass limits (two for one-bedroom units, three for all others)
• Shifting to a digital, license plate-based system
• Exploring exemptions for service and delivery vehicles
• Increasing annual residential permit fees from $5 to $25
• Reducing guest pass duration from 30 days to two weeks
• Considering policies for large-party exemptions and a Good Neighbor parking program
City traffic engineer Abe Bandegan presented a one-year update, noting that more than 350 permits had been issued, but demand remains low.
“At no point have we had more than 40 to 50% of the parking spaces occupied,” Bandegan said.
Survey responses from about 60 residents out of 400 eligible units showed mixed reviews. While some reported improvements, others criticized the complexity of the guest pass process and called for stricter enforcement.
Councilmember Jim O’Hara voiced support for a digital system and emphasized user accessibility.
“We should make this easy for the residents to sign up online,” O’Hara said.

OCEANSIDE’S BEACH erosion has accelerated over the past 10 years, leaving mostly rocks and pebbles. File photo
O’side gets $1.8M for beach project
State grant a ‘critical step’ in restoration effort
By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —
Oceanside has received nearly $1.835 million in state grant funding to support its beach restoration efforts, city officials announced.
The California Coastal Commission approved the grant to fund a baseline monitoring program for the city’s RE:BEACH pilot project. The project aims to combat long-standing shoreline erosion through a “living speed bump” concept designed by Australian firm ICM.
The concept includes building two artificial headlands at the Tyson and Wisconsin Street beach access points and constructing an artificial reef offshore to help retain sand along the coast.
GHD, an engineering firm based in Oceanside, will lead the baseline monitoring program. The data will help refine the design and provide a point of comparison once the project is underway.
In addition to the monitoring work, Oceanside will use the funds to update its vulnerability assessment, add a focused supplement to its Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan, and develop a targeted amendment to its Local Coastal Program to address sea level rise and related adaptation strategies.
“By investing in robust monitoring of shoreline conditions and taking a first step in updating the city’s Local Coastal Program to address sea level rise, Oceanside will be better equipped to make science-based decisions that protect its coast for future generations,” said Kelsey Ducklow, coastal resilience coordinator for the California Coastal Commission.
Erosion has plagued Oceanside’s beaches for decades, largely due to the construction of the Camp Pendleton Boat Basin in 1942 and the Oceanside Small Craft Harbor in 1963.
Those developments blocked the natural flow of sediment into the Oceanside Littoral Cell, preventing sand from replenishing the

Fair board seeks public input for future site plans
Staff and wire reports DEL MAR — The owner and operator of the Del Mar Fairgrounds has launched a public outreach campaign to solicit input from local governments and county residents regarding its future.
city’s shoreline. In recent years, the erosion has worsened, leaving beaches covered in rocks and pebbles.
Officials hope the new headlands and reef will help capture drifting sand and restore the beach — a method that has seen success in Australia’s Gold Coast region, which faces similar coastal challenges.
ICM was selected as the design competition winner in early 2024 for its proposed solution. The project remains in its final design phase, and if full funding is secured, construction is expected to begin as early as next year. The estimated total cost is $55 million.
Oceanside Coastal Zone Administrator Jayme Timberlake called the grant a “critical step” toward advancing the city’s coastal resilience goals.
“Through our RE:BEACH initiative, we have closely partnered with the community to find the best solution to our coastal challenges – and now, per our new agreement with the Coastal Commission, we are able to increase our understanding of the current coastal conditions, which will enhance and inform implementation of the RE:BEACH Oceanside project and future planning for the entirety of Oceanside’s coast,” Timberlake said.
The City Council recently approved applying for a $21.25 million state grant to fund the sand nourishment portion of the project, which includes placing 900,000 cubic yards of sand at the project sites. If approved, the city will cover the remaining $3.75 million of the $25 million sand component through its sand replacement account, Measure X funds, or the general fund.
“Oceanside is taking action to restore beaches now and for future generations,” said City Manager Jonathan Borrego. “We are proud to be a leader among California’s coastal communities in identifying and implementing world-class solutions, and grateful to the coastal commissioners and staff for recognizing our need to preserve public access to sandy beaches.”
The final design will require approval from the California Coastal Commission before construction can begin.
Through the “Fairgrounds 2050’’ master-planning initiative, the 22nd District Agricultural Association will hear from residents countywide on what would be “the best and most sensible uses’’ for the association’s three properties: the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the Surf and Turf Recreation Center, and the Del Mar Horsepark.

The 22nd DAA first announced it was preparing to launch the public outreach campaign with communications firm Southwest Strategies in December 2024.
The outreach efforts will include “a statistically significant quantitative survey’’ of county resi-

Presentations will also be made to various local governmental and business-related entities such as the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, 18 city councils, the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, the San Diego Regional EDC, the San Diego Tourism Authority, and the San Diego Association of Governments. The first of its 18 city council presentations happened earlier this month in National City.
Additionally, public workshops will be held in each of the county’s five supervisorial districts.
The 22nd DAA will also form a technical council of experts who will weigh in on the technical aspects of the new plan for the association’s three properties, spread out across 324 acres.

restriping won’t include bike lane

The Encinitas City Council on April 9 voted to reject a late agenda item that would have advanced a grant application for a roundabout at Hygeia Avenue and Leucadia Boulevard.
The proposed action would have granted a onetime exception to Council Policy C-003, which requires council-initiated items to be submitted by 3 p.m. the Tuesday before a meeting. The exception was necessary to consider the Hygeia roundabout project for $3.5 million in grant funding through SANDAG’s Smart Growth Incentive Program.
The proposed roundabout at Hygeia Avenue and Leucadia Boulevard
represents the final of three original roundabouts along the corridor between Orpheus and Vulcan avenues.
The project includes road regrading, sidewalk upgrades, and new landscaping.
According to city staff, the roundabout is expected to improve traffic flow by removing a stop sign, en-
hance safety for drivers and cyclists by reducing conflict points, and boost pedestrian access with added sidewalks.
Council members Jim O’Hara and Marco San Antonio opposed the exception, citing concerns about process, precedent, and the absence of Councilmember Luke Shaffer, whose dis-

trict includes the project area.
Mayor Bruce Ehlers voted in favor, and Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes was absent on family medical leave.
Shaffer submitted a statement in his absence expressing his opposition: “I respectfully express my opposition to the proposed one-time exception to policy C, 003. I believe there is no valid justification for this exception.”
O’Hara motioned to deny the exception, stating the council must uphold its own policies.
“We can’t, this is not a precedent we should set,” he said. “This is not about grant writing ... this is really about Policy C-003.”
Steve Link, a former Carlsbad traffic commissioner, presented data on crash rates at existing North County roundabouts and concluded that the safety benefits were unclear.
“Our roundabouts in North County have a much higher overall crash and injury rate, and it’s not consistent with the generic safety statement,” he said.
Other speakers, including Leucadia resident June Hansberger, urged the council to proceed with the grant application, citing traffic volumes and pedestrian safety concerns at the intersection.
“This is a safety issue for our neighborhood,” Hansberger said. “[So many] cars go down this road every day, and we need to make it safer.”
Planning Commissioner Robert Prendergast also spoke at the meeting, saying the Hygeia roundabout project is shovel-ready, previously approved in 2019, and noted the city already has matching funds, increasing the likelihood of securing the SANDAG grant.
ing contract and voted to keep existing striping on Birmingham Drive after residents opposed a proposed bike lane.
The contract was unanimously awarded to Quality Construction and Engineering, the lowest responsive bidder, as part of the city’s Pavement Management Program. According to city engineer Badr Suleiman, the contract includes the base bid and two additive alternates, with construction expected to begin in summer 2025.
“The recommended action tonight is to award the base bid … to the lowest responsive bidder in a total construction cost of $3.8 million,” Suleiman told the council.
However, the agenda item also included plans to restripe Birmingham Drive with a new eastbound, uphill bike lane, drawing strong opposition from several public speakers who raised concerns about safety and transparency.
“The existing roundabouts on Leucadia Boulevard have proven to be very successful,” Prendergast said. “From I-5 to PCH, moving traffic through and reducing our greenhouse gasses and helping us meet our climate action plans.”
Kranz also addressed the council, encouraging the roundabout project to move forward.

Ehlers, who introduced the item, said the roundabout was part of a longplanned corridor project and that the opportunity to pursue the grant at no cost to the city warranted reconsideration.
“This would restore that money, although this money would be dedicated to this project and only this project in the future,” he said.
Ehlers said the grant application had been written by community volunteers, including former mayor Tony Kranz and residents who had worked on the project for years.
“The timing was such that … we will miss the grant opportunity,” Ehlers said. “So that’s why I went forward with this.”
During public comment, residents expressed a range of opinions. Some speakers opposed making an exception to policy and raised concerns about city oversight of resident-led grant applications.
“Here we have an opportunity to get $3.5 million of grant money from SANDAG, which is essentially funded by our community taxpayers paying into the SANDAG Transnet tax,” Kranz said.
Since the motion to approve the exception failed, the second part of the item — authorizing city staff to submit the grant — was not considered.
Ehlers acknowledged the outcome following the vote but defended the decision to bring the item forward.
“I’m not one that likes bypassing policy or process,” he said. “But in this case, I thought it’s worth the discussion.”
Paving contract
The Encinitas City Council on Wednesday approved a $3.8 million pav-
“I find it disturbing that important restriping on an artery like this could be initiated more or less anonymously in a 400page document on pavement maintenance,” said Ron Medak, speaking as a resident and commissioner on the Mobility and Traffic Safety Commission. “Birmingham is very dangerous … Liverpool (Drive), as somebody suggested, is a very good alternative, much less traffic.”
Several speakers, including representatives from Cardiff 101 Main Street and the Cardiff Town Council, argued that Birmingham’s narrow lanes and steep grade make it unsuitable for a bike lane.
“The proposed eastbound bike lane would remove approximately eight feet of roadway, about four feet from each side,” said Rahul Deshpande, a member of Cardiff 101 Main Street and chair of the Cardiff Town Council. “This would dangerously narrow the space available for vehicles, increasing the risk for both drivers and cyclists.”
Councilmember Jim O’Hara, who pulled the item from the consent calendar, agreed with the public’s concerns and said the proposed changes were not clearly conveyed in the staff report.
“I was really grateful that Cardiff Town Council and Cardiff 101 brought this to our attention that this had been changed from what I think we all read as restriping to mean striping the same again,” O’Hara said. “To me, that line, that bike lane, just for the point of safety, doesn’t fit there.”
The council voted 3-0, with Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes and Councilmember Luke Shaffer absent from the meeting, to approve the paving contract while amending the restriping portion of the plan to nix the uphill bike lane and keep the existing lane configuration on Birmingham Drive.
Oceanside OKs some new tenant protections
By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — The
Oceanside City Council on April 15 approved limited tenant protections following hours of emotional public testimony and debate over a broader proposal introduced earlier this month.
Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce and Councilmember Jimmy Figueroa proposed a series of tenant protections on April 9, aiming to go beyond existing state laws that limit rent hikes and require valid reasons for eviction after a tenant’s first year in a unit.
“Neighborhoods that I represent like Crown Heights are being systematically dismantled for their wealth extraction,” Joyce said during the meeting.
“When talking to families of District 1, I couldn’t step one foot without talking to someone who had been evicted for remodels, raised rents, or a landlord’s family member had moved in – and a lot of times they later find out that a family member didn’t move in, but how would they go back and prosecute that? They’ve already moved. We have to make it work. If we fail to act, we will absolutely lose the economic and racial diversity which is so core to our values.”
While the original proposal called for a sweeping set of tenant protections, the council only approved a few measures, including requiring landlords to provide one month’s rent for relocation in cases of “no fault” evictions.
The council also direct-
ed staff to explore a rent stabilization clause that would apply only to older, corporate-owned apartment buildings.
The vote was 3-2, with Mayor Esther Sanchez and Councilmember Rick Robinson opposed.
The council unanimously approved a separate measure requiring new manufactured home residents to receive written notice of their rent control protections, with a signed receipt on file.
Other proposals failed to gain support, including a preservation ordinance modeled after San Diego’s policy that would have required stricter notice and protections for tenants. That motion failed 2-3, with Sanchez, Robinson, and Councilmember Peter Weiss voting against it.
Joyce and Figueroa had also proposed other tenant-friendly policies, such as immediate “no
fault” protections for all renters, a local “right to return” clause, stricter definitions of substantial remodels to prevent misuse of eviction laws, and a plan to
ions for and against the proposed ordinance.
“These policies aren’t about creating obstacles, they’re about creating breathing room,” said
of the Oceanside Housing Commission, expressed frustration that the commission’s recommendations from last year never made it to the council.
“We’re asking the council to listen to your commissioners. We did the research back in June to bring this before you,” Williams said, adding that the commission opposed allowing rent increases as high as 10% under state law.
Critics of the ordinance, including council members and representatives of the rental industry, argued that the changes could harm small-scale landlords and worsen the city’s housing crisis.
on rental income and may struggle to absorb additional financial burdens.
Robinson said the proposal was premature and lacked a full understanding of the city’s rental housing challenges.
“This isn’t going to help the ones who were worried about getting evicted tomorrow,” Robinson said. “We don’t know what the full problem is… if we’re going to do anything, we need to ask staff to help identify the problem, and then fix that.”

“The longterm solution isn’t more regulation on the people providing housing, it’s building more of it,” said Taylor Thompson, director of governmental affairs with the North San Diego County Association of Realtors. “We need more housing of all types for all income levels.”
Thompson emphasized that most rental units in Oceanside are owned by retirees and veterans who rely

Sanchez echoed concerns about unintended consequences and said the city needed to prioritize issues such as homelessness and gather more community input.
She warned against the displacement of Latino communities, drawing comparisons to what she described as a loss of cultural neighborhoods in cities like San Francisco.
“I want to make sure we do this right,” Sanchez said. “We have a responsibility to protect all of our residents, but we also need to think long term and holistically.”

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying o all liens senior to the lien being auctioned o , before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of the outstanding lien that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s o ce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, bene ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The trustee relies solely on the trustee’s sale guaranty and/or Information provided by the lender regarding the lien priority and title condition and does not Independently verify such Information.

ribbon-cutting event
Carlsbad unveils new public garden
By Staff CARLSBAD — On
National Gardening Day, Carlsbad city officials and community members gathered to celebrate the grand opening of the Stagecoach Park Community Garden — the first garden of its kind in south Carlsbad and the city’s fourth overall.
The new garden, located at Stagecoach Community Park, features 35 raised planting beds — including two ADA-accessible beds — along with composting stations, an information kiosk, tool storage, picnic seating and a shade structure.
City leaders say the garden is intended to bring residents together while promoting sustainable living and healthy food production.
“This new garden will serve as a place to connect with neighbors and support healthy, sustainable living,” city officials said in a statement. “It’s also a key part of our long-term vision for accessible green spaces in every part of Carlsbad.”
The garden’s opening marks the culmination of a multi-year effort to expand Carlsbad’s network of community gardens to each quadrant of the city. For decades, the Harold E. Smerdu Community Garden in northwest Carlsbad was the only one in the city. The Calavera Schoolhouse Community Garden opened in 2017 in the northeast, followed by Pine Avenue Community Garden in the northwest in 2018.
Until now, the city’s southeast district remained the only quadrant
without a garden.
During development of the city’s Parks & Recreation Master Plan update — approved by the City Council in late 2023 — residents identified community gardens as a top priority. The Stagecoach site became a prime candidate for conversion after the city outsourced its parks maintenance services, freeing up a fencedin maintenance yard.
The City Council approved garden plans in April 2024, and in July awarded a $464,353 construction contract to ACE Capital Engineering to begin work.
The project was funded using developer parkland in-lieu fees — a system that allows developers to pay into a fund rather than setting aside land for parks. The city has appropriated more than $600,000 for the project to date, with estimated annual maintenance and operations costs of about $72,000.
According to city staff, more than 400 residents remain on a waitlist for garden plots citywide, underscoring the high demand for such community spaces.
Patrice Smerdu, a member of the Carlsbad Community Gardens Collaborative and daughter of the namesake of the city’s original community garden, said the new garden will provide much-needed access to gardeners in the city’s southern neighborhoods.
“It’s just really a delightful plan,” Smerdu previously told The Coast News.
City officials say the Stagecoach garden reflects broader goals under the city’s 2023-2027 Strategic Plan, which includes expanding access to outdoor recreation, promoting environmental sustainability and building stronger neighborhoods. City staff are now exploring options for a fifth garden in the city’s southwest quadrant.
As part of its ongoing gardening outreach, Carlsbad’s public library system offers a “Grow Your Garden” workshop series and free seed distribution through its Seed Library program, available at all three library branches.
New art banners set to debut
26th Arts Alive will feature 60 original works
By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS —
After more than two decades of showcasing the work of local artists on streetlight banners, the 101 Artists’ Colony is preparing to unveil the 2025 Arts Alive Encinitas collection during a public reception on April 19 at Pacific View Arts Center.
Now in its 26th year, the Arts Alive program will debut 60 original hand-painted banners, later displayed along Coast Highway 101 from La Costa Avenue to Cardiff Restaurant Row and at Cardiff Town Center. The unveiling event, held from 3 to 5 p.m., is free and open to the public.
“This has been actually going since 2000,” said Danny Salzhandler, president of the 101 Artists’ Colony. “So it’s 26 years we’ve been doing this.”
Salzhandler acknowledged the program skipped a few years due to logistical challenges but continued even during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We did it through COVID, and we had one of the best years ever, believe it or not,” he said.
Each banner is painted by a local artist and installed on light poles for public viewing over two months. According to Salzhandler, the process of organizing the exhibit has remained largely consistent over the years.
“We pick artists, we give them the banners, they paint them, we hang them, we auction them,” he said.
One banner painted this year by longtime contributor Darlene Katz features a dog swimming with a tennis ball in its mouth.
“Encinitas is a real dog town in a good way, not a bad way,” Salzhandler said.
A banner honoring the late Trish Dugger, Encinitas’ first poet laureate, will also be displayed. Salzhandler recalled Dugger’s longstanding involvement with the Artists’ Colony, from poetry readings to slams.
“She was proclaimed the first poet laureate of Encinitas, and we have a banner in her honor,” he said.
Following the unveiling, banners will be available for silent bidding beginning at the reception. Bids will be accepted by phone at 760-473-5164 until a live auction is held on July 13 at Cardiff Town Center. Banners are removed in late June, cleaned at a local
car wash, and dried publicly before being returned to the artists for touch-ups.
Sponsors for this year’s program include Seaside Market, Leucadia 101 Mainstreet, Hansen Surfboards, and Surfing Madonna Oceans Project.
Salzhandler, who helped found the program and personally hung banners for many years, said the city is stepping in to assist with installation this year.
“They’re giving me a break,” he said. “The city is going to contract out hang[ing] the banners, so those can make it easier on me.”
Looking back on the program’s origins, Salzhandler credited Peter Norby, then-director of the Downtown Encinitas Mainstreet Association, with first proposing the idea of painting banners for street poles.
“He’d seen the idea
somewhere. And so we got [artists] together. We all painted. We didn’t really know what we’re going to do with them,” Salzhandler said.
What began as a small effort to liven up the community became an annual tradition. The banner program continued even after the group lost its physical gallery space in 2007.
“We haven’t had a place since 2007 when they tore down those pink buildings,” Salzhandler said, referring to the site on which the Moonlight Lofts now stand. “Now we don’t have any place to call home except the light pole.”
At 75, Salzhandler said this unveiling may be his last at the program’s helm.
“I want to make sure this one is a good one,” he said. “We’re hoping for good weather and a good turnout, and another year for Arts Alive.”
Easter: Don’t buy bunnies, chicks as gifts
By City News Service REGION — As they do each year when Easter approaches, shelter officials and animal rescue groups are urging people not to buy rabbits or baby chicks as holiday gifts for children.
Buying or adopting a live animal on a whim often leads to abandonment when the novelty wears off and families realize they’re not equipped to properly care for the pets.
Instead of a live animal, rescue groups recommend buying a stuffed toy bunny or chocolate candy rabbit for kids’ Easter baskets.
John Van Zante of the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, a nonprofit animal shelter in Encinitas, told City News Service that he’s seen the damage caused by the Easter gift phenomenon firsthand.
“I thought this problem had gone away, until some of my neighbors had small children and they started buying them new bunnies every Easter. Three to four weeks later they would end up in my yard (or as dinner for the coyotes in the area),’’ Van Zante said.
“I tried to convince
them to get stuffed toy rabbits for the kids, but they insisted that they loved live rabbits, and the promised to take care of them. And if they decided they didn’t want them anymore, they would be safe if they let them loose because ‘Rabbits are wildlife. They’ll be okay.’’’
In fact, domestic rabbits are not the same as wild rabbits and are not equipped to survive outside.
“I also thought the days of people giving baby chicks were over. Again, nope,’’ Van Zante told CNS. “One of my daughters and her husband have chickens. They’ve always gotten them as babies and kept them their entire lives. But I remember her saying they went in to buy baby chicks and there were families in there buying ‘Easter chicks.’ Chickens can be noisy, and fragrant. If you get a chick who ends up being a rooster, it won’t take long for your neighbors to really not like you. They’re cute when they’re little ‘peepers.’ But when the fuzz falls out and the feathers begin to grow in, they’re very unattractive. By then
the kids are tired of feeding and cleaning.’’
Van Zant said the RCHS does have rabbits available for adoption, and counselors interview potential adopters to make sure they’re really interested in caring for the animals, “and not just as a prop for Easter.’’
Colleen O’Brien, senior vice president for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said buying animals as gifts “teaches kids the dangerous lesson that these thinking, feeling individuals are toys that can be tossed aside when the children tire of them. Animal companions are a years-long commitment, not a holiday prop, and PETA urges everyone never to give any animal as a gift.
“When people are ready to add an animal to their family, PETA reminds them to always adopt, never buy from a breeder or pet store -- and that goes for rabbits and chickens, too.’’
California pet stores are prohibited from selling dogs, cats and rabbits unless they are obtained from a public animal control agency, shelter or rescue organization, under As-
sembly Bill 485, which took effect in January 2019. San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, then a member of the state Assembly, later authored AB 2152, sponsored by the San Diego Humane Society, which closed a loophole in AB485 involving animals bred out-ofstate. It took effect in January 2021.
Despite those laws, direct sales of rabbits are still permitted, including online, and illegal street sales also occur in which baby bunnies are sometimes deceptively marketed as adult “dwarfs.’’
These rabbits are rarely spayed or neutered, and purchasers can often find themselves dealing with one or more litters of unwanted rabbits, increasing the burden on city shelters and rescue groups.
“Because each pet adoption is based on a detailed consultation with an adoptions counselor to ensure it is a good fit for both the animal and the person, we would not caution adopting a rabbit due to the time of year,’’ San Diego Humane Society spokeswoman Nina Thompson told CNS.
IN 2020, the 101 Artists’ Colony held its Arts Alive event and auction amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “We did it through COVID and we had one of the best years ever, believe it or not,” Artists’ Colony president Dannny Salzhandler said. File photo

Fifth graders create native pollinator refuge
NB Ranch latest district school to install garden
By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO — Fifth-graders at North
Broadway Elementary School marked the arrival of spring by planting a new pollinator garden filled with native plants, part of a growing initiative to bring green spaces and outdoor learning to Escondido-area schools.
North Broadway, recently rebranded as NB Ranch, was one of three Escondido Union School District campuses to install a pollinator and indigenous plant garden last month.
The project is a collaboration between the district and Nature Collective, a conservation nonprofit formerly the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy.
The gardens include native plant species designed to support bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators essential to San Diego County’s ecosystem.
“In an urbanized area, most habitats are developed, highly cultivated, and not native, so this allows us to establish these mini-corridors of native habitat, so pollinators have a refuge,” said Kristin Ev-
ans, senior director of education and outreach for Nature Collective. “Meanwhile, this garden also becomes a refuge for the students as much as the wildlife.”
Nature Collective focuses its work within the Escondido Creek Watershed and has developed a strong partnership with the school district over the years.
The organization says students in Escondido — many of whom come from underserved and under-resourced communities —
benefit from increased access to hands-on environmental education.
“All of these students and their schools are investing in conservation action projects, so they are hosting these corridors and ensuring that these plants and pollinators are going to be here for longevity,” Evans said.
Students played an active role in the garden’s development. Before planting day, fifth-graders helped design the garden’s layout.
On site, Nature Collective staff guided them
on how to properly remove native plants from their pots and place them into the soil.
The garden will serve as a “living classroom” for future learning, including Nature Collective’s eightweek afterschool program, which will teach students about pollinators, planting and environmental care. Teachers at NB Ranch also plan to incorporate the garden into their regular lesson plans.
Principal Cherry Moore said the garden is one of several site-wide
changes designed to refocus the school on environmental science and expand outdoor learning opportunities.
“Now, when students read about pollinator gardens or learn about them in science, they’re going to know what that is,” Moore said.
The garden complements the school’s “Secret Garden,” which features citrus trees and other produce used in class projects.
Additional planned features include a sensory garden, outdoor classroom, future vegetable gardens and hydroponics systems. The school has also added classes in woodworking and veterinary science.
Moore said the transformation is part of the district’s “Framework for the Future,” emphasizing
whole-learner outcomes through personalized and inclusive education.
Next year’s project may include a “labyrinth” and sensory garden designed to help students regulate emotions and find a quiet space separate from the playground, she said.
Several local partners supported the pollinator garden, including Mountain Meadow Mushroom Farm, which donated mulch, and San Diego Gas & Electric, which provided grant funding to Nature Collective.
With the school located near agricultural programs at Escondido High School, Moore said the shift to environmental science gives NB Ranch students a natural pathway toward more advanced agriculture studies in the future.

All things Padres can be found on ‘Friar Territory’
sports talk
jay paris
The Padres are sizzling at home, which brings us to a homegrown observer.
Kyle Glaser always had the national scoop as a keen writer for Baseball America and as a frequent broadcast guest when talking baseball.
But there were few teams Glaser, a Torrey Pines High graduate, knew better than the Padres.
And if timing is anything, Glaser’s might be everything.
“I had a connection with everyone up-and-down the organization,’’ said Glaser, who once covered the Padres for the Riverside Press-Enterprise and wrote for the North County Times.
Glaser recently launched the “Friar Territory” podcast, which coincided with the Padres’ best start in ages. They won their first 11 games at Petco Park, which provided content, and sent viewers toward Glaser’s production.
“We’re enjoying the moment,’’ Glaser said. “Obviously we want it to keep growing and to get better.’’
He was referring to "Friar Territory," although the Padres fit snugly with that description, too. Their recipe of being resilient and aggressive with an all-gas (or electric), no-brakes approach is refreshing and rewarding.
Much like the Padres, Glaser, 36, has his knees bent and is riding a winning wave that is baseball driven.
“It's only been a couple of months, but we’ve seen consistent growth since the show started, which is cool and a promising trend,’’ Glaser said. “We try to put the best show out there for people to enjoy.’’
Friar Territory is part of
munity-led — not developer-led,’’ said 22nd DAA CEO Carlene Moore. “We also understand that we are more than an events center to San Diegans: We are San Diego County’s iconic community gathering place, a hub for economic opportunities, and stewards of our sensitive coastal ecosystem. We have been here at the Fairgrounds for nearly a century. Through Fairgrounds 2050, we can ensure that 25, 50, and 100 years from now and beyond, we continue to provide a thriving, innovative, and fun place in times of celebration — and a place where people can turn to in their times of need.’’
The Fairgrounds has formed several committees comprising 22nd DAA
frequent guests and former Padres Mike Cameron and Heath Bell on the “Friar Territory” podcast. Glaser, a Torrey Pines High graduate, is host of the lively and opinionated program. Photos via X
the Foul Territory Network, which has vast reach across the Major League Baseball landscape.
When Glaser left Baseball America last year to start earning his MBA from USC, his writing took a relative breather.
With his studies behind him, Glaser found a present that included baseball. He's seamless in transitioning from scribbling about it to yapping about the game with a grip on us.
While still at USC, Glaser was often a guest on Foul Territory Network shows, where he caught the ear of its CEO, Marc Weiner.
“Kyle is a great writer and he has an incredibly smooth podcast voice,’’ Weiner said.
The pair kicked the tires on a show centered on the Padres. They were fortunate that the team produced compelling content and victories in the season’s early stages.
“There’s never a shortage of story lines,’’ Glaser said.
They pushed "Friar Territory" from the harbor about 40 shows ago. It’s a blend of Glaser’s deep understanding of the Padres and the input from two former players, reliever Heath Bell and outfielder Mike Cameron.
“Having the players’ perspective is so, so key,’’ said Glaser, who attend-
ed countless Padres games while growing up in Rancho Santa Fe. “Both of them are really insightful.
''Mike played the game forever and he knows the game inside-and-out. And Heath isn’t afraid to tell it like it is.’’
Bell, a three-time AllStar with the Padres, agreed.
“I was never a politically correct guy, but I feel like I was correct,’’ Bell said. “Kyle is pretty good with us throwing ideas back-and-forth at each other. Although I interrupt him more than he interrupts me."
Nothing, it appears, can slow the Padres.
Glaser has seen enough Padres baseball to be realistic, but impressed, with the club's presence. It's rallied for five victories in the initial 17 games despite being tied or trailing entering the seventh inning.
This stretch is special, with the Padres breaking from the gate at 14-3.
"Their identity is something that their manager Mike Shildt says often," Glaser said, "It's that they don't feel pressure, but that they apply it."
Their season, and Glaser's show, embark with hopes that it's a memorable summer.

Exhibit honors those who broke baseball’s color barrier
By City News Service
SAN DIEGO — The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum's touring exhibit on the Black and Latin American players who broke the color lines for the then-16 Major League Baseball teams, “Barrier Breakers,” opened Tuesday at the San Diego Central Library.
The opening coincides with MLBl’s Jackie Robinson Day on the anniversary of his debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947, breaking the color line.
The exhibit also includes a special tribute to Johnny Ritchey, who broke the professional base-
board members to guide the process. The district is also forming a technical advisory coalition that includes experts in traffic, water, water resources, and biological resources to develop a set of parameters for the project.
22nd DAA Board Member Don Mosier said rising sea levels will be a critical environmental factor in the master site planning process.
“This is a challenging site, particularly given the range of estimates for sea level rise, which vary tremendously from about two feet to six feet for 2050,” Mosier said. “I hope we can address those in our master plan and have some resiliency estimates when we get to the final master plan.”
The Fairgrounds will also begin outreach to the
ball color barrier on the West Coast with the 1948 San Diego Padres of the Pacific Coast League. The exhibit will run through May 31. Ritchey was born and raised in San Diego. At 15, he and another black player, Nelson Manuel, played on the Post Six American Legion squad that won the Junior World Series in Spartanburg,
South Carolina, in 1938, even though neither could play in the event because of laws forbidding integrated athletic competitions.
Ritchey played at San Diego High School and then-San Diego State College. His time in college was interrupted by serving in the U.S. Army for 27 months during World War II in a combat engineering unit, seeing service at the invasion of Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge and in the Philippines, rising to the rank of staff sergeant.
Ritchey returned to San Diego State following the war and was the Aztecs' leading hitter in 1946 with
a .356 average. He began his professional career in 1947 with the Chicago American Giants, leading the Negro American League with a .381 batting average.
Ritchey made his Padres debut March 30, 1948, grounding out as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning of a 7-4 season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Angels at Lane Field, now the site of a park bearing its name in downtown San Diego.
He batted .323 as a rookie with the Padres in 1948. He also played with the Padres in 1949.
Ritchey died in 2003 in Chula Vista at the age of 80.
California Coastal Commission next year, as the final master site plan and environmental impact report will ultimately require approval from the state body.
As this outreach con-
tinues, Southwest Strategies will provide quarterly updates to the 22nd DAA board beginning in February. Under current timelines, the board plans to adopt a set of design objec-
tives for the project at the end of 2025. In 2026, the Fairgrounds plans to use the design objectives, public feedback, and technical advisory committee input to
solicit development proposals through an international design competition.
“The timeline for the next year is pretty clear. After that, it gets a little bit less clear, but the more progress we make now, the more we can move forward in the future,” Wahl said.
One potential type of development that the Fairgrounds has been discussing for years is housing. Earlier this year, the 22nd DAA and the city of Del Mar entered into an exclusive negotiating rights agreement to explore developing 61 affordable housing units on Fairgrounds property to help Del Mar fulfill its state housing obligations.
More information on Fairgrounds 2050, including the survey for residents, is available at https:// www.delmarfairgrounds. com/2050.
THE FAIRGROUNDS will conduct public outreach over the next year, including presentations to all 18 cities in San Diego

Groups appeal Quail Meadows to state agency
By Leo Place
ENCINITAS — Two community groups are appealing the Encinitas City Council’s approval of the controversial Quail Meadows Apartments project in February to the California Coastal Commission.
First proposed in 2022, the Quail Meadows development would bring 448 housing units, including 90 affordable units, to a 12acre site along Quail Gardens Drive. It was brought forward by developer Baldwin & Sons, and would be the largest housing project in the city’s history.
This is the second time the project has faced an appeal in recent months. In the fall, local groups Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (SAFER) and Encinitas Citizens for Responsible Development (ECRD) appealed the Planning Commission’s approval of the project, bringing the matter before the City Council.
After a lengthy discussion in February, the council upheld the Planning Commission’s decision in a 3-1 vote. Leaders expressed at the time that they felt forced to deny the appeals and move the project forward due to threats of litigation from Baldwin & Sons and the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
In early March, ECRD, SAFER, and consulting
firm Hamilton Biological each appealed the City Council’s decision to the California Coastal Commission. However, SAFER has since withdrawn their appeal, the Coastal Commission confirmed Tuesday.
The appeals claim that the project violates the Coastal Act and the city’s Local Coastal Program (LCP) on multiple fronts, focusing on potential impacts to wetlands and local habitats, particularly Cottonwood Creek near Moonlight Beach.
“There’s sort of a pattern of projects in Encinitas that are trying to get around the LCP and the Coastal Act,” said Robert Hamilton of Hamilton Biological. “I think it’s important to hold the city accountable to their
LCP.”
One of the appeals’ main claims is that the project’s drainage plan relies on unpermitted and illegal infrastructure, including a headwall and pipes, which impede the natural flow of a stream that acts as a tributary to the creek.
Although the previous landowner is believed to have implemented this unpermitted system, Hamilton said it needs to be addressed and fixed in the Quail Meadows project.
“There’s quite a bit of Coastal Act precedent saying you can’t rely on unpermitted development for a new coastal development. That’s the crux of what we’re appealing on,” Hamilton said.
ECRD’s appeal said the
Quail Meadows project fails to work around and preserve this well-documented drainage flow, referred to in the project’s Biological Resources Letter Report as an “unnamed tributary.”
“Due to the presence of this tributary to Cottonwood Creek and its natural drainage course, the project would be consistent with the LCP if it incorporated the drainage course into the design of the development, rather than divert its flows into the proposed box culvert at the edge of the wetland area,” ECRD’s March 4 appeal states.
The appeals also address the developer’s plans to repair a leaking pipe on the property via a slip line. Hamilton Biological said in their appeal that this
leak has become an important source of water for two existing wetland areas and that repairing the pipe would lead to the wetlands’ demise.
Appellants pointed to a section of the Encinitas LCP that requires the city to preserve and protect wetlands, and prohibits any “net loss of wetland acreage or resource value” due to development.
The appeals also allege that the project does not sufficiently analyze traffic impacts on coastal access or special communities, including the San Diego Botanic Garden, San Dieguito Heritage Museum, and the Encinitas Union School District’s FARM Lab, which draw thousands of visitors annually.
“The project is located on Quail Gardens Drive, which also provides exclusive access to several popular visitor sites,” ECRD’s appeal states. “No analysis on impacts to access of these attractive and essential community and visitor resources has been performed.”
Baldwin & Sons did not respond to requests for comment about the appeals.
Coastal Commission officials said they have not set a hearing date for the appeals but expect to bring it forward before the end of 2025.
“While the Commis-
sion has not yet scheduled the hearing for the Quail Meadows Housing Project appeal for a specific month, we do indeed expect it to be heard within the year,” said Coastal Planner Stephanie Leach.
Since its proposal, the Quail Gardens project has undergone major revisions, including a decrease in units, a reduction from six stories to four, and the addition of 749 parking spaces, exceeding the state minimum.
Steve Gerken, a founding member of ECRD, said he remains hopeful of a favorable outcome for residents and the surrounding environment.
“We hope that the commission finds substantial issues and calls for a de novo hearing,” said Gerken. “Ideally, Baldwin would agree to sell the property to a foundation that could transform the area into a resource for all Californians — a coastal gem with riparian areas, a coastal stream, protected wildlife and native vegetation. It could become a beautiful, accessible natural space for everyone.
“Realistically, I hope they significantly downsize the project to make it compatible with fire safety, flood risk, and community needs, while also including low-income housing as part of a designated Housing Element site. Those are the two main visions I have.”

Dog groomer sentenced
By Leo Place VISTA — A Solana
Beach dog groomer was sentenced to five years in state prison last week after pleading guilty to the attempted sexual assault of a 75-year-old woman.
Tony Choi, 52, was sentenced by Judge Robert J. Kearney on April 7 in Vista Superior Court after pleading guilty to one count of residential burglary and one count of attempted sexual penetration of an incompetent person with a foreign object in February.
In October 2024, Choi showed up at the Carmel Valley home of the septuagenarian and asked if her
dogs needed to be washed. After the woman invited Choi into her home, he tried to sexually assault her.
The woman’s caretaker was home and disrupted the incident, at which point Choi fled the scene in his car. That evening, he was driving the same vehicle when he returned to his Manzanillo Court home and found deputies waiting to take him into custody.
Choi was originally charged with felony assault, first-degree burglary, attempted rape of an incompetent person, and elder abuse.
...In Oceanside, police arrested Jordan Taylor Eu-
staquio, 34, of Oceanside, on suspicion of murder in connection with the death of man found in dirt lot in February.
Just before 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 11, officers were sent to the 400 block of Foussat Road “regarding a subject with obvious traumatic injuries,’’ according to the department. They found 48-year-old Felipe Martinez of Oceanside in a dirt lot.
Anyone with information about the death can contact Detective Mark Theriot at MTheriot@ oceansideca.org, or 760435-4378.

the situation.
“The state is coordinating with local authorities to assess any damage and if emergency response is needed,’’ according to the statement.
The temblor hit at 10:08 a.m. Monday, centered in the Pine Hills area, about 2.5 miles south of Julian, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. A series of aftershocks promptly followed in the same general area, most with magnitude readings of less than 3.0, though one near Borrego Springs registered 3.5, and one struck again near Julian around 11:30 a.m. that registered 3.9, the agency reported.
The initial shaker was felt as far away as Orange
and Riverside counties, as well as in West Los Angeles.
The National Weather Service issued a statement saying there was no threat of a tsunami in connection with the quake.
Seismologist and Southern California earthquake expert Lucy Jones said the quake appeared to have shaken “a very large area.’’ But given its size and depth, it was unlikely to have caused any serious damage “to a normal California building,’’ though it may have knocked around unsecured objects.
“There shouldn’t be structural damage,’’ she added. “If there is, it’s in a pretty bad building.’’
Following the quake, Metrolink canceled service on Orange County Line train 608 between San
Clemente and Oceanside, allowing crews to conduct precautionary track inspections and determine if any damage had occurred.
One resident in the Vista area noted online that the quake “sounded and felt like a bomb went off.’’
Bessie Eberhardt of Fallbrook told City News Service the temblor was one of the strongest she has felt in her decades of living in Orange and San Diego counties.
“It started with a slight tremor and loud boom; then the shaking started,’’ she said, adding that she was worried for her 93-year-old mother, whose bedroom is on the first floor of their home. “It lasted as long as it took me to run downstairs and get to my mom, who was disappointed she slept through it.’’
Most health insurance plans accepted, including Kaiser and TriCare.

Surf shop worth the walk
water spot
When I began surfing in 1962, six surf labels decorated my bedroom door. Gordon & Smith, Hobie, Hansen, Dewey Weber, Jacobs and Bing. I knew nothing about surfboard design and so was influenced primarily by the color of the board and if it was featured in Surfer Magazine that month.
There was Lance Carson, hanging ten in a way that prompted Bruce Brown to say, “He could eat a ham sandwich while there.” (This is a slight misquote, but you get the idea.) Because the Jacobs team wore red nylon trunks, I had to have a pair of them.
On my 14th birthday, my mom drove me through Hermosa Beach in search of the shorts I quickly wore out. A few years later I bought a Jacobs Lance Carson Model at the Jacobs shop just because Lance was behind the counter. I loved that board.
The Bing Donald Takayama Model caused me to split my allegiance. As with most models at that time, this one was handshaped by the person whose
name it bore, Takayama himself. Jacobs would complicate matters further by featuring Paul Strauch Jr. in the “cheater five” stance he made famous.
Jacobs had won my heart until David Nuuhiwa, a rail-thin Hawaiian kid with long, black hair flowing, took over. Nuuhiwa surfed as naturally as a Slinky moving down a set of stairs, and when he floated to the nose, a new style of poetry was born.
Images of the “David Nuuhiwa Noserider,” and later, the “David Nuuhiwa Lightweight” occupied every portion of my developing teenaged brain.
I was living 25 miles inland at the time in a town called Montebello. We were surfers, stranded beyond our natural element and
would do anything to get to the beach. (I once walked to the sand and home again in response to a challenge.)
When Bing opened a surf shop 15 miles to the south of us, in Whittier, I walked there, touched the rails of the most beautiful art pieces I had ever seen, and walked home.
Some of my friends, the dearly departed George Lanning and Al Nelson among them, shaped for Bing in the mid ’60s. Around that time there was a photo in Surfer of Nuuhiwa holding a chrome-planted Skill 100 plainer.
The photo prompted the ever-controversial Lanning to lead his fellow workers in a strike where part of their demands were that each of them received a chrome-plated plainer. You can imagine how that ended.
It’s been several years since Bing Surfboards invaded Leucadia with some of the finest looking longboards ever built. Under the direction of shaper/designer Matt Calvani, Bing is once again worth tramping 30 miles on foot for.
While some of the boards are picture-perfect replicas from the ’60s, others take advantage of board design improvements over the last half-century. Cruise by Bing’s Coast Highway shop and dream a little on the prettiest resin lollipops you’re very likely to see, or ride.

Avocado Fest brings thousands to Fallbrook
By Samantha Nelson FALLBROOK
— Tens of thousands of visitors packed Main Street on Sunday for the 38th annual Fallbrook Avocado Festival, a celebration of the region’s most iconic crop.
Held each April, the festival highlights the avocado, grown extensively in groves throughout Fallbrook and the surrounding hills of North County San Diego. Organizers estimated this year’s event drew roughly 100,000 attendees.
California produces the majority of the nation’s avocados, with San Diego County among the state’s top growing regions. Nestled in the inland hills near

resources often face long wait times to get into a program.
The implementation of Senate Bill 43 in January has also made it easier for those with severe substance use disorders to be forced into treatment, further increasing the need for beds. SB 43 changed the definition of what constitutes “gravely disabled” to include those who cannot ensure that they get necessary medical care due to their substance use, and individuals who meet these criteria and end up in the hospital can be kept there on short-term holds.
While this hold would ideally give the hospital time to find a detox or recovery bed for the individual, the lack of beds makes this difficult.
The San Marcos facility would allow Interfaith to expand its substance use disorder programs, using the model of its Recovery and Wellness Center in Carlsbad. The organization also recently gained approval to open up to 59 withdrawal treatment beds at its former emergency shelter space in Escondido.

I learned the practice of site assessment while a student in the Master Gardener Program at Cornell University. One of the professors, Charlie Mazza, offered us this advice: “Tell your new gardeners to look up in the sky!”
His book, “Site Assessment for Better Gardens and Landscapes,” available on the Cornell University website, takes you through all the steps of getting to know your yard and growing conditions.
Mazza advises all home gardeners to begin by standing in the yard just after sunrise to locate where the
sunlight falls on the ground. Is it dappled sun, full sun, partial shade or full shade? Repeat this process two more times during the day, at noon and at 5 p.m. Is there a spot that has full sun without overhanging trees or buildings that produce shade? This is the perfect spot for most vegetables, and this is where you want to begin your raised bed or container garden.
GET TO KNOW YOUR MICROCLIMATE
Observing your microclimate involves recording
site temperature and humidity levels. North County has extremely unpredictable weather.
We can only observe that there might be bright sun in the morning in Vista with a temperature of 76 degrees, and if we drive to Carlsbad, we see the marine layer hanging over the coastline with a temperature of 69 degrees!
The point of all this observation is that, most likely, areas within 2-3 miles of the ocean will not receive enough bright sunlight for the required number of
hours to produce the perfect beefsteak tomato. Instead, I opt for the miniature tomatoes (million bells, grape, yellow pear) or Italian Roma varieties.
Other vegetables, such as peppers, greens, herbs and all types of squash, will grow in most areas of North County. With daytime temperatures of 69-70 degrees, it is time to plant.
Whether you have grown your vegetable and herb seedlings yourself, or purchased them at a garden center, here are your instructions:
FACTORS IN TRANSPLANTING
• Choose your planting day wisely — The day should not be a clear, sunny, breezy “beach day,” but instead rather gloomy! A damp, drizzly and warm day is what you are hoping for.
• Peppers and herbs — Plants with upright stems and two sets of healthy leaves, such as peppers or basil, need a deep hole with compost added to the bottom of the hole. The hole itself should be at least a few inches deeper than the pot in which it is planted.
Tap the plant gently out of its pot, and place in the hole, making sure to water each plant individually. Don’t hold off to water the entire row, since they dry out quickly.
If you are using a peat pot or peat pods, loosen the peat walls, or remove entirely. In the case of the peat pods, you can loosen or remove the netting, with care taken not to disturb the roots.
• Squash family — Our Senior Community Garden members have had great success in starting many varieties of the squash family from seed. After three weeks of growth from seed, the hardy summer squash, winter squash, mini pumpkins and cucumbers are ready to go in the ground.
If you have a raised bed that is at least 4 by 12 feet, with a grassy area in which the plants can roam, these
fast-growing beauties will fill the bed and escape into your yard.
Create four hills at the edge of the beds, dig a goodsized hole in the hill that is a few inches deeper than the squash in the pot. Add compost, place the pot in the hole and cover the base of the plant with more soil. You are creating something that looks like a moat, so the squash can spread its leaves without touching the ground.
Be certain to water immediately, and feed with diluted fish emulsion during the first week.
• Tomatoes — Unlike all other vegetables transplanted into the ground, the tomatoes need a shallow trench dug for planting day. Prune lower leaves of the young seedling and plant the stem so only top leaves are above ground. This allows the roots to grow underground and the upper stem to grow taller and sturdier.
Water as with other vegetables and fertilize with fish emulsion in first week. Be sure to give it a 3- to 4-foot cage to stabilize the stem.
Happy gardening!

Marisi La Jolla: A masterpiece of Italian elegance
When Marisi La Jolla opened in 2022, it introduced a new level of Italian fine dining to La Jolla Village. The space exudes vintage coastal glamour with beautiful art deco flourishes throughout. Guests can dine inside the stylish Lemon Room, at the marble bar or enjoy the fresh ocean breeze on the patio or deck.
Marisi executive chef Cameron Ingle, who joined the restaurant in August 2023, brings a wealth of experience from working with some of the country’s most celebrated chefs, including Thomas Keller at Bouchon Bistro, Ori Menashe at Bestia and Bavel and Dan Barber at Blue Hill at Stone Barns.
Ingle’s reverence for oldworld Italian technique, particularly using a wood-fired hearth, resonates in many dishes.
“It’s disciplined cooking,” Ingle said. “It takes seven minutes to cook a piece of swordfish on the hearth versus two minutes on a cooktop.”
But as Frank and I discovered, the results are worth the wait.
Our server, Lucas Isumi, and Chef Ingle guided us through an extraordinary tasting — seven antipasti, two pastas, a main, dessert and a curated lineup of
wine pairings. This culinary journey revealed the kitchen’s devotion to seasonality, thoughtful restraint, and perfect execution.
We began with focaccia, organic Tehachapi red fife flour baked to a lightly crisped on the outside and cloud-soft within a round loaf. This was served with roasted green garlic dip, whipped brown butter, and aged balsamic. It was the perfect welcome bite, paired with Private Property Chardonnay, a creamy, fruit-forward white that lifted the richness of the bread and butter with its bright acidity, melding with the acidity of the aged balsamic.
The next float in our culinary parade featured three beautifully plated antipasti.
Local Crudo delivered pristine slices of raw local fish served with calamansi vinaigrette, shallots, and crispy
capers, creating a nice tang for the crudo.
The Chicken Liver Mousse was silky and savory, paired with jujube purée and large seasoned crackers for a satisfying contrast of textures. The Tomato Tartare, brightened with caper, roasted garlic, and basil aioli, and served with grilled sourdough, was a great example of Marisi’s Italian prowess.
The next trio of dishes came straight from the hearth. Blistered and smoky, grilled beets were cut into cubes and served with creamy smoked goat cheese, pistachio, and raspberry. The
combination evolved into a pink hue perfect for each beet bite.
Colossal prawns were roasted over hot embers and served with salsa roja, charred just enough to add intensity while preserving their natural sweetness. The Hearth-Roasted Bone Marrow was melt-in-your-mouth magic, topped with breadcrumbs, roasted garlic, and Calabrian chili that brought a delightful hint of spice.
These bold and nuanced flavors were enhanced by thoughtful wine selections curated by Sommelier Chris Plaia, who has led Marisi’s
extensive wine and cocktail program for 2½ years.
With these antipasti, we sampled a flight of Italian wines: the crisp Tre Monti Albana, the mineral-driven Picariello Greco di Tufo and the earthy Calabretta Etna Rosso from Sicily. Each wine played beautifully against the hearth’s smoky intensity and the antipasti’s varied profiles.
We followed with two pasta dishes showcasing Marisi’s commitment to handmade excellence. The Rigatoni stood out, tossed in a fresh pomodoro sauce with Calabrian chili for subtle heat, stracciatella cheese for creamy richness and basil for balance.
Each bite was soulful and satisfying. The Carbonara featured bucatini noodles tossed with Winfield Farms bacon, egg yolk, and black pepper. For a limited time, it also included freshly foraged morel mushrooms from Northern California, adding an earthy richness to the dish. It was rich and comforting, complementing the standout rigatoni.
The main course, local halibut, was a crown jewel of the evening. Perfectly seared and flaky, it rested on a silky potato purée with chanterelle mushrooms and a kiss of lemon juice. The La Colombera Colli Tortonesi, with gentle creaminess from malolactic fermentation, ele-
vated the dish even further, accentuating the fusion of the halibut and mushrooms.
To end the evening, we were presented with the Gelato della Nonna Cake. Built upon a pine nut sponge, the layers included semifreddo, strawberry basil sorbet, and vanilla bean gelato, drizzled with a touch of syrup and served with a pour of Antica Torino Amaro della Sacra—a perfect finale that whispered of Italian summers and Nonna’s kitchen.
“Marisi” is a word blending the names of owners Alex Adler, Eric Adler, Alan Adler, Moy Lombrozo, and Isidoro Lombrozo’s grandparents: Marila and Isidoro. It evokes family, history, and care, qualities that shine in every detail, from service to wine curation to Chef Ingle’s elegant dishes kissed by their Santa Maria hearth and the extra time it takes to cook food in the hearth’s embers.
For those seeking Italian excellence in La Jolla, Marisi is not just a destination; it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, heart, and culinary joy. Marisi is open for dinner Sunday-Thursday, 5 to 9 p.m., and Friday-Saturday until 10 p.m. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. For more information or reservations, visit marisilajolla.com.

Is SEO dead? digital 101
By Phil Hudson
“The sky is falling!” shouted Chicken Little. We’re all familiar with this childhood parable, but how quickly we forget its invaluable lessons about ignoring rumors and critical thinking. So, is Search Engine Optimization (SEO) dead? No.
I’ve been working in Digital Marketing for fifteen years. During that time, I’ve heard this old refrain dozens of times, usually when there is a significant technological advancement in the marketing and advertising space: Google Panda (2011), Google Penguin (2012), Google Think Brain (2015), iOS 14.5 Privacy update (2021), Chat-GPT (2022).
So, what’s the reality? SEO isn’t going anywhere. Will it change? Absolutely, and it has done so since the dawn of the World Wide Web in 1991.
In 2023, John Mueller, Senior Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google, said, “As long as machines read websites, technical SEO will remain an important part of making the most out of a website. It's not going away. And as long as humans look at websites, performance and user-experience is going to remain just as important.”
This was well after Generative AI had been released and accounted for, and that applies as much in 2025 as it did in 1998 when Google was just an idea a couple of college kids had.
At Search Central Live in NYC last month, Mueller said, “If you’re doing the right thing for search, then you’re automatically doing the right things for AI.”
So, what should you be doing? Search engines examine over 200 ranking factors and signals, but a few matter more than others.
Have a technically sound website that functions great on mobile devices and desktop computers.
Optimize each page for unique keywords your customers are looking for and match the intent of their search.
Promote yourself responsibly.
More importantly, what should you stop doing? Chasing trends, tricks, hacks, and shortcuts. That’s a fast way to get blacklisted.
Remember: the sky is not falling. The fundamentals still matter.

Continuing Crisis
In December 2022, Mark Lucas, owner of HCS Furniture in Buckinghamshire, England, parked his 6-month-old work van in a stacked car park in central London, the BBC reported. It’s still there.
In this type of structure, mechanical platforms and lifts are used to stack the cars on top of each other, saving space. When Lucas went to retrieve the electric van, he was told he couldn’t because “the stacking system had malfunctioned.”
He and his co-owner, Steve Davies, rented another van, which they thought would be a temporary fix, but after a couple of years, “we gave the hire van back and took out another loan to buy a second van,” Davies said.
In January 2024, Lucas was told the garage repairs were unlikely to happen before May 2024, but losses would be recoverable from the responsible party. But the partners can’t claim losses until the van is freed. “While we’re trying to grow the business, we can’t because we have all this,” Lucas said. [BBC, 4/7/2025]
Alarming Headline
An already difficult day was made even more dreadfully memorable on April 7 in Philadelphia, the Western Standard reported. As pallbearers maneuvered a casket to a graveside service at Green Mountain Cemetery, the plywood platform above the burial hole gave way, sending them sprawling and causing injuries to legs, hands and backs.
The son of the deceased was pinned under the casket and briefly lost consciousness, according to the deceased’s stepdaughter, Maribel Rodriguez. “It was just a horrible incident that happened in a bad moment,” she said. The family is hoping for an apology and possible reimbursement for the chaos. [Western Standard, 4/8/2025]

‘Guerrilla gardener’ adorns Oceanside Harbor
Despite no legal standing, retiree aims to beautify
By Jasmine Kirstein
OCEANSIDE — The new succulent garden next to Dock B in Oceanside Harbor has received dozens of compliments from residents and visitors alike.
“They’re just beautiful!” exclaimed a boat owner from Dock B when he walked by earlier this month.
One visitor to the harbor compared it to the sea floor with its colorful cacti, coral-like succulents and vibrant jade plants.
However, the City of Oceanside takes no responsibility for the new garden.
This work was done by Marlon Bringas, a retired commercial truck salesman who has become a “guerilla gardener” in the Oceanside area.
Guerrilla gardening is the practice of planting where the gardener does not have the legal right to garden and has a long history of political or environmental activism. Activists often participate in this trend to reclaim derelict urban areas.

munity member and beautifying it. I wished everyone looked around and thought about how they can make the place better.”
Most of the plants were “misfits” from a friend’s nursery in San Clemente. Since they had irregularities like rashes, the plants could not be sold and were donated to Bringas’ cause. Other plants were collected from around the area.
“I’ve been doing this for a while,” Bringas said, “so I [have] an eye for where
to put what, where. These have all been switched around 100 times ’til Tuesday.”
Bringas said he developed a green thumb when he planted drought-tolerant plants in his girlfriend’s residence in Carlsbad to reduce water usage and bills.
Despite the positive public reception, Bringas was told to remove the garden by the city of Oceanside.
The Harbor Master, Joseph Ravitch, did not re-
spond to calls but stated in an email exchange: “While we appreciate community members who take pride in their surroundings, we have policies in place regarding modifications to City property, including landscaping, to ensure safety, accessibility, and consistent maintenance standards…
“We value the passion our community members have for beautification, and we’re always open to discussing appropriate channels for those interested in contributing to public spaces, such as through our official volunteer programs and community initiatives.”
The City of Oceanside plans to carefully remove the plants and return them to Bringas.
A San Diego resident approached Bringas and asked if she could name his garden after her late husband, Harold, who loved succulents and boating. She recently held a memorial service at the harbor for her late husband and put a plaque among his plants that reads, “Harold’s Garden.”
“I think he should keep doing it even if it’s just as a form of rebellion,” said Hardison, the oil painting studio owner.
Bringas still aspires to plant a garden around the Oceanside Harbor sign, this time with the city’s help.
“Everyone’s been cordial,” said Bringas. “At the end of the day, I just thought I could beautify the area.”

Are you at a crossroads and unsure which way to go? Feeling like you’re stuck with nowhere to turn? Are you hitting the same roadblocks again and again?
Joseph Clarke can help. He is a former attorney who holds degrees in philosophy and creative writing. He is also a leukemia survivor, husband, father, and certified Reiki Master. His goal is to help you connect with the natural wisdom of your heart, so you can discover more of what life has to offer and experience more peace and harmony in daily life.
“I began experiencing an intense spiritual awakening in 2018,” Joe says. “It was overwhelming! It was also an opportunity to learn and grow. I studied Buddhism, mystical teachings, Reiki healing, and mindfulness practices. I worked with a variety of spiritual teachers, guides, and medicines. Together these resources have provided me with a broad and diverse collection of self-healing methods. I became a spiritual guide so I could share what I’ve learned with others, reduce their suffering, and help them find the path of
healing and flourishing.”
Joe taps into many resources during healing sessions, including: Reiki energy healing, mindfulness coaching on breathwork and meditation, and heartto-heart dialogue about your struggles and goals. After each session, you’ll feel more connected to the present moment through your heart. You’ll sense more inner balance and inner peace. And you’ll feel better equipped to handle the difficulties and opportunities that life presents.
”I believe life is an opportunity to discover who we truly are,” Joe explained. “Our fears and insecurities hold us back, keeping us stuck in old patterns and hopeless ruts. I can help you recognize these roadblocks. I can help you clear them. And I can help you discover and integrate new, healthier patterns into your daily life. I want to see you heal, grow, and flourish. We can do it together.”

which seeks to lower and double-track a segment of the railroad passing through Carlsbad Village, to complete the preliminary design and environmental review phase
• $1.45 million for Riverpath Del Mar Phase 3 to complete the last section of the city’s Scenic Loop Trail
• $2.4 million for North Coast Highway 101 drainage improvements in Encinitas, including extending a 60-inch storm drain further south to alleviate flooding risks in Leucadia
• $4 million for the Lomas Santa Fe Drive project in Solana Beach, to complete multi-modal access
• $4.25 million for Emerald Drive Complete Streets in Vista to reduce vehicle speeds on the high-traffic road, install traffic calming measures like roundabouts, and add biking and walking facilities with safe pedestrian crossings.
• $4 million for the Pier View Way Bridge reconstruction in Oceanside to address deteriorating structure, ensure compliance with updated earthquake design standards, and protect pedestrian and vehicular accessibility and traffic.
• $3.25 million for Buena Vista Lagoon Enhancement in Oceanside to address increased sed-
imentation, invasive vegetation, declining coastal biodiversity, degrading water quality, water circulation restrictions, and vector concerns. The funding would allow 65% design completion for the project.
The congressman said he is also concerned about projects that have already been allocated funding but have yet to break ground, noting that the Trump administration has targeted various forms of funding to states, withholding it as a means of retaliation.
In the past couple of months, the Department of Transportation has announced an investigation into California’s highspeed rail project and the possibility of pulling $4 billion in federal funding
for it. The Environmental Protection Agency is also challenging clean transportation waivers granted to California by the Biden administration.
Outside of transportation, the Trump administration cut hundreds of millions of dollars in pandemic relief grants for K-12 schools in California and several other states earlier this week, leading California Attorney General Rob Bonta to sue the U.S. Department of Education.
Levin said he is keeping a close eye on projects that were recently allocated federal funding, such as the San Dieguito Double Track, Rail Bridge and Special Events Platform Project, which received $53 million in early 2024.
Democratic leaders are also concerned about the impact on transportation projects as the federal government’s priorities shift away from focusing on climate change and equity.
For coastal rail projects such as the planned relocation of the tracks on the Del Mar Bluffs, climate change impacts, such as erosion and rising sea levels, play a massive role in the need for improvements. While this shouldn’t be a partisan issue, said state Sen. Catherine Blakespear (D-Encinitas), applications for federal money may need to focus more on the benefits to commerce and the military to be successful.
“It’s not clear exactly what will end up happening with the pursuit of grants
regarding the rail line, but there will be a prioritization of grants for different values,” Blakespear said.
SANDAG, which is leading the San Dieguito Bridge project and many other transportation projects, is also facing uncertainty. At a March 28 meeting regarding the 2026 budget, leaders said they are carefully monitoring transportation projects that have yet to execute a funding agreement.
“Given that 30% of the budget is funded with the federal funding, we are concerned that certain federal funding is at risk, and could eliminate or delay our projects,” said Susan Huntington, SANDAG director of financial planning, budgets and grants.
