DEL MAR — A lawsuit filed by a group of Del Mar residents seeks to halt the North County Transit District’s contract with Exbon Development Inc. to carry out a railroad fencing project along the Del Mar Bluffs, alleging that the district is skirting local and state development laws. The March 21 lawsuit filed in San Diego County Superior Court by nonprofit Friends of the Del Mar Bluffs is the latest development in a saga of heated pushback against the proposed fencing project, as residents claim it will block pedestrian and surfer access to the trails and beach and damage the sensitive terrain. The NCTD’s Phase 1 fencing proposal in Del Mar includes 3,723 linear feet of fencing along the upper bluffs, beginning at the Coast Boulevard railroad crossing, with a combination of a 4-foot high black vinyl-coated, chain link fence and a 6-foot black, welded wire mesh fence. “The fencing described by NCTD that it planned for the Upper Bluff and Lower Bluff would be damaging to the environment, including by permanently altering the bluffs, accelerating erosion, and creating artificial physical barriers with a prison-like, industrial appearance,” the complaint TURN TO LAWSUIT ON 6

For example, a resident who pays $22.84 for a 64- or 96-gallon cart will begin to pay $32.09 monthly by July 1, 2024. For commercial customers, the standard cart bundle including three 96-gallon carts for waste, recycling and food scraps will jump from $45.46 to $63.05 monthly.

Fair returns with full carnival midway By Laura Place

Solana Beach council stands against ‘ghost guns’ By Laura Place
SOLANA BEACH — Returning to the dais for the first time in over two years, members of the Solana Beach City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved an ordinance regulating non-serialized firearms, or ghost guns, in the city. The ordinance was brought before the council to align local policies with new federal regulations announced Monday by the U.S. Department of Justice, expanding the definition of “firearm” to include kits that allow buyers to build their own non-serialized gun at home and prohibiting the possession, purchase and sale of non-serialized untraceable firearms. By expanding firearms regulations to include gun kits and 3D-printed guns — a current loophole in California law — city leaders hope to reduce the number of unserialized firearms, make it easier for law enforcement to trace firearms used in a crime, and prevent the sale of all firearms and kits to convicted felons and other prohibited individuals. The new regulations go into effect 120 days after publication in the Federal Register, according to the Department of Justice. Similar ordinances have also been passed by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and the City
of Encinitas. “The ordinance before you makes some changes to close those gaps before the state and federal laws go into effect with respect to ghost guns,” said City Attorney Johanna Canlas. Law enforcement seized two ghost guns within Solana Beach city boundaries in 2021, but there has been no record to date of an unserialized

DEL MAR — The 2022 San Diego County Fair will return to an independent midway model for its popular carnival under an agreement reached between the 22nd Distwrict Agricultural Association and carnival operators Talley Amusements and Ray Cammack Shows in court this week. Plans for the carnival fell into jeopardy this month when a judge granted an injunction stopping the 22nd DAA from carrying out their master carnival contract with RCS for the upcoming fair, following allegations of favoritism in the request for proposals process. After hours of conversations over the Easter weekend with San Diego Superior Court Judge F. Ronald Frazier, all parties agreed to return to the independent midway format used in the past, with different games and rides offered by multiple operators rather than being handled by just one. The decision was announced Monday afternoon. “With this resolution, reached by the 22nd District Agricultural Association, Ray Cammack Shows and Talley Amusements, the 2022 Fair will proceed with an independent carnival midway, offering a full array of rides, games and food,” 22nd DAA spokeswoman Jennifer Hellman said in a Monday statement. “The resolution is consistent with prior independent midways held at the Fair and addresses the issues raised by the Court’s recent injunction ruling. Discussions will continue over the next week concerning the midway layout plan which the parties have committed to resolve.” John Moot, the attorney representing Talley Amusements in an ongoing lawsuit against the 22nd DAA alleging corruption, favoritism and bid-rigging during the Del Mar Fairgrounds’ selection process of a master carnival operator for last year’s county fair, said the litigation will be stayed until after the fair, with conversations to resume in July.

“Everybody put aside their differences to make sure we had a full and complete carnival for 2022,” Moot said. “It will be determined after the fair is over how we proceed forward after this. No one has given up any of their positions in the case.” The timing of the agreement gives the Fairgrounds little time to spare to com-
plete plans for the fair, scheduled to begin June 8 and run through July 4. During a previous board meeting, the 22nd DAA board unanimously approved grandstand entertainment contracts for performances by Nate Bergatze and Leanne Morgan, For King and Country, Sam Hunt and John Fogerty.

In removing Ehlers, council displays astounding tin ear By Geoff Nathan
On Wednesday, April 13, the Encinitas City Council voted to remove Bruce Ehlers from the Planning Commission. This came at the end of a contentious two-hour session, where every piece of written communication received, every ticketed item registering an opinion and every one of the 30-plus speakers indicated strong support for the commissioner. Cumulatively, they testified to Ehlers’ character, his knowledge, and his dedication to making the city a better place. Yet the vote was 5-0. Why? For those unaware, the city is currently in violation of California law regulating affordable housing. The current council has been struggling to bring Encinitas into compliance with state requirements. Ehlers’ termination was predicated on two points related to this issue: 1) that he opposed implementing “objective standards” under state law in evaluating housing sites and 2) that he served as treasurer of a group suing the city. The second charge problematically conflated several disconnected issues, as many pointed out. Even Mayor Catherine Blakespear, who spearheaded this motion, seemed to abandon this specific point. As for the first: Ehlers does not oppose state requirements, but he has been vocal in his opposition to the city’s method of meeting those requirements. That he is also running for council apparent-
ly made his long-standing and public stance suddenly a burning issue. What is particularly disturbing about this unanimous vote was the precedent it set. Many commissioners past and present have publicly objected to and ignored council policies and city regulations while serving. As a member of the old Traffic Commission, for example, not only did I occasionally reject these
of a carpetbagger in Encinitas, so this may be understandable. But Tony Kranz — the only member seeming to struggle with the vote — echoed such thoughts. This was ironic, given that he also spoke of Ehlers as a mentor. Perhaps given Kranz’ own mayoral ambitions, this was political kabuki on his part. Thus, without regard to the public interest, to history or to apparent self-awareness, the council

Many in Encinitas will remember the muchmissed Bob Nanninga, whose comments and actions while on the Parks & Recreation Commission make Ehlers seem like a Trappist monk who has taken a vow of silence. None — zero — of these commissioners were removed in this manner. Regardless of the merits of this termination, the council’s tin ear on the matter was astounding. Councilman Joe Mosca incredulously implied during his comments that Ehlers was free to exercise his First Amendment rights, but not as a commissioner. Mr. Mosca is still a bit

The mayor, in trying to preemptively protect herself, uttered a banality about governance not being a popularity contest. Like most rhetoric, such words possess the malleable quality of being true when convenient. But it epitomizes all that’s wrong with current city governance and presages what a future State Sen.

nyone who knows California well will realize that Palo Alto does not look much like nearby Mountain View. Or that Pasadena looks very little like its neighbor Altadena. That Rancho Mirage looks quite different from nextdoor Cathedral City. These distinctions are often called character. They make locales different from one another; they make life less boring and offer choices to people deciding where they’d like to live and what lifestyle they want. Sure, it costs more to live in some places than in others. And yes, some persons and their families can afford larger homes than others. America, after all, bills itself as a land of equal opportunity, even if it’s far from perfect in providing that. But it has never claimed or sought to be uniform. Many laws suggest that every American should be provided for. None says all will have equal means. Yet, the state of California has sought uniformity in the field of housing for the last several years, led by Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener of San Francisco, who tried unsuccessfully for years to pass bills requiring every city in the state to become much more dense. Wiener’s persistence paid off for him last year, when he pushed through new laws best known by their numbers, Senate Bills 9 and 10, which ban zoning for single family houses everywhere in California. SB 9 allows six residential units on almost all lots where there is now one; SB 10 allows up to 10 units on any lot within easy reach of rapid transit. Neither law requires builders to provide new parking or parks, mitigate added traffic, assure water supplies or any other requirement usually imposed on developers of new home subdivisions. Nor are there any controls on how much of the new housing can become short-term vacation rentals or temporary corporate housing. It’s open season, then, on the character of every city in the state. If Wiener had his way, California would have nothing but apartments and condominiums, no houses with sizable yards and open space. For him — and for Gov. Gavin Newsom, who seemingly will sign any bill Wiener writes — it’s fine if all cities look alike. One size fits all, even in cities that already have plenty of vacant units, as many now do.

this down, seeking to preserve their unique qualities, in steps Newsom’s appointed attorney general, Rob Bonta. This, of course, is Bonta’s right, which he sees as a duty. And it’s within the tradition of state attorneys general enforcing the laws they like and ignoring those they don’t. Every attorney general of the past 50 years has done this: Republican Dan Lungren enforced almost no laws intended to ensure equal access to housing for minorities. Democrat Xavier Becerra did little to enforce state masking mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic. And on and on, going back at least 50 years. Bonta makes it his mission to go after cities trying to carve out exceptions to SB 9 and 10. When leafy Woodside tried to exempt itself as a cougar habitat, Bonta warned of a lawsuit and the town backed down. When multifaceted, racially pluralistic Pasadena tried to limit SB 9 lot splits and consequent teardowns in areas with historic or architecturally significant housing, Bonta denied that any such areas should be exempted because, his top deputy claimed, they are not really historic. But he could not disprove the Pasadena argument that in the neighborhoods the city called landmarks, there is “historical, cultural development and/or architectural context.” Doesn’t matter, Bonta says. Go ahead and buy up historical bungalows, he essentially told developers, then tear them down and split the lots if you like. Do this, of course, and Pasadena will lose much of its distinctiveness. Some cities, of course, accede readily to state housing demands, despite relatively high vacancy rates. Much of once-resorty Santa Monica, for one, now looks somewhat like a mini Miami Beach, with many new apartments and condominiums lining its main streets. Only time will tell how much California will change, and feelings are mixed among homeowners, with some licking their chops at selling their longtime homes and others determined to resist.

Residents dive into food waste From coastal to inland areas, North County turns to compost By Jacqueline Covey
bles. “In the San Diego region, our soils are very low in organic material, there’s not much there,” said Michael Wonsidler, program manager for the county’s Solid Waste Planning and Recycling and Creative Services sections. “It’s mostly sandy material that needs that introduction of organic material.” At home, residents all over the county are stepping up to recycle this material and feed their gardens. Composting is a long-standing practice in many areas in North County, and it’s gaining more traction with the passage of new legislation. Carol Graham has a hard time pinpointing when she began composting, but it was sometime after she moved to Encinitas in the 1970s but prior to joining the Solana Center for Environmental Innovation roughly 20 years later. Composting is the natural heating and cooling of waste as it decomposes. Whether in an outdoor bucket or pile, a mixture of yard clippings, food scraps and air decomposes into material that resembles dirt. The process transforms inedible food scraps and green waste that typically goes to the landfill to produce a natural soil amendment while preventing the production of methane. “I notice that the compost I sift out of the finished
GHOST GUNS
Under the new federal regulations, retailers selling firearm kits must run background checks on all prospective buyers, and firearms dealers and gunsmiths will be required to add a serial number to any 3D-printed or other unserialized firearm in their inventory. Gun retailers and firearms licensees also must retain firearm licensing records for the full licensing term rather than the previous requirement of 20 years. The goal is to prevent destruction of records that could assist law enforcement in tracing firearms used in violent crimes or homicides. Mayor Lesa Heebner also referenced the widely-reported shooting of 10 people in a Brooklyn subway station on Monday, and reports that the gun left at the scene showed evidence of someone attempting to scratch off the serial number. “This is an important issue, and it keeps us safe, including our law enforcement officers,” Heebner said of the ordinance.
REGION — These days, you might hear a common refrain from neighbors: “We barely have trash anymore.” As subscribers of San Diego’s Food2Soil Composting Collective dropped off their kitchen scraps at Wendy Miller’s home dropoff on Monday in the City Heights neighborhood of San Diego, each had similar observations — their trash cans are taking longer to fill. Instead, residents are collecting food waste to be turned — once, twice, three times — in compost bins at their homes or third-party sites. “I love doing it from my front yard,” Miller said. “I know I’ve got gardeners coming from all over.” Subscribers can then choose to take finished compost for home gardens or landscape amendments at the drop off. Food2Soil is one program of many working to help North County residents recycle organic waste. Statewide, the goal is to relieve landfills of organic waste on a far larger scale. Senate Bill 1383, which took effect in January, aims to reduce organic waste disposal by 75% and rescue at least 20% of disposed of surplus food by 2025. SB 1383 requires cities to offer curbside pickup, i.e., the green bins and procurement levels for businesses and municipalities to use the organic recycla-

in a hit-and-run while driving a stolen vehicle the following day and arrested, at which time deputies found a ghost gun in the vehicle. Despite low levels of local incidents involving ghost guns, city councilmembers have historically supported strengthened local regulations. In the past three years, the council adopted an ordinance requiring the safe residential storage of firearms in the city, passed a resolution calling on the 22nd District Agricultural Association to prevent the sale of unregulated firearm kits or parts at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, and passed two other resolutions supporting firearm safety legislation. “While I recognize that there are regulations coming down from the federal level and the state level, activists in this area have noted that strategies have to occur at every single level,” said councilwoman Kelly Harless. “I’m really proud our city has taken such a proactive role in this.”

catching up. For example, just this past week, Oceanside and Waste Management just approved a contract for curbside organic recycling services by 2024. For residents in unincorporated areas, such as Fallbrook, Lakeside and Spring Valley, the County of San Diego ensure they have access to organic waste disposal. “Sometimes food will go bad,” said Jessica Toth, executive director at the Solana Center for Environmental Innovation, which works with 19 cities in San Diego County to keep the diversion ball rolling. “But there’s a lot we can do to prevent what we’re wasting — it should be returned to [the Earth].” Toth said that the region generates 1.6 million tons of organic waste, 500,000 tons of that from food. Across the state, organic waste produces 20 percent of the state’s methane. (Methane is 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide, both are considered significant greenhouse gasses.) “It is very important that the minerals and nutrients we mine from the Earth,” Toth said. Compost has the unique ability to put nutrients back in the ground after it’s been ripped into for farming and development. It also holds four times its weight in water, which strengthens soil during droughts, provides erosion control, and stabilizes the ground after a fire.

ESCONDIDO — Authorities on Tuesday publicly identified the 56-yearold man killed when he got out of his vehicle inside an automated car wash in Escondido and got pulled into part of the machinery that operates it. Rene Jaime of Las Vegas was staying with family during a trip when he went out Friday evening, April 15, to visit a store and get his car washed, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office. About 11:45 p.m., Jaime drove his Scion xB hatchback into the mechanized car wash in the 2100 block of East Valley Parkway in Escondido. While the car was going through the cleansing system, Jaime stepped out for unknown reasons and was dragged into part of the mechanism, winding up wedged between it and his vehicle. Alerted by an alarm signaling a malfunction in the equipment, a witness investigated and found Jaime trapped inside the car wash, Escondido Police Department Sgt. Chris Leso said. Patrol officers were able to free the victim by lifting and moving his car, and paramedics took him to Palomar Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, Leso said.
Man gets 15 years in wife’s DUI death By City News Service
CARLSBAD — A man convicted of driving drunk and slamming a car into a traffic pole in Carlsbad, resulting in his wife’s death, was sentenced April 15 to 15 years in state prison. Santos Hernandez Ramos, 40, was convicted by a Vista jury last year of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and other charges, though the panel was unable to reach a verdict on a second-degree murder count. Ramos’ license was suspended at the time due to a 2017 DUI conviction out of San Bernardino County.
menting on the mayor’s social media posts. Michael Curran, an attorney at the Carlsbad-based law firm Curran & Curran Law, submitted the cease-and-desist letter on April 12 on behalf of Robert Nichols, former chairman of the Surfing Madonna Oceans Project, and approximately 15 other “citizens rights advocates,” requesting that Blakespear allow residents to freely exchange their views on her Facebook posts without being blocked or having their comments deleted.
On Monday, Curran told The Coast News that his clients reported having their full access to Blakespear’s Facebook page restored. Additionally, Curran said he corresponded with lawyers representing the mayor who indicated Blakespear had unblocked the residents in question. Blakespear did not respond to a request for comment on this story. As a result, Curran said that his clients would “probably” not be pursuing any further legal action against the mayor, although he
maintained that his client’s rights had nonetheless still been violated and that further action was not totally off the table. “My clients have been damaged as a result of not being able to participate in free discussion and being blocked,” Curran said. “So this is something that we’re still in the process of discussing.” Curran informed The Coast News on Tuesday afternoon that he also sent a cease-and-desist letter to Councilwoman Joy Lyndes on behalf of several of the
same Encinitas residents. While Curran said he appreciated the mayor’s reversal in allowing his clients back onto her Facebook page, he said that he was disappointed that it had taken legal action on behalf of residents to compel a response. “Clearly what happened here is that [Blakespear] got caught violating actual law and failing to provide the public with equal access to a Facebook page that she provides and on which she does public business with the city,” Cur-
ran said. “When we pointed this out, they scrambled and she and her attorneys fixed it, so while we appreciate the fixing, we do not appreciate the original violations of the law that necessitated this action on our part.” The attorney sent the cease-and-desist letter claiming that Blakespear had prevented certain individuals — who had expressed viewpoints critical of the mayor and her policies — from viewing or commenting on her mayoral TURN TO FACEBOOK ON 13

states. NCTD has attempted to assert its sole authority over all decisions related to the railroad, arguing that federal requirements for railroad safety override local policies. However, Friends of the Del Mar Bluffs claim in the lawsuit that NCTD is obligated to follow state and local laws under their 2018 grant agreement with the California State Transportation Agency, as a condition of using state funds for any projects. The NCTD has filed two petitions with the federal Surface Transportation Board asking them to recognize NCTD’s sole authority over the project, but has yet to receive a response. On Wednesday, the district filed an update with the federal board describing the escalating pushback against the project via the lawsuit. “This is clearly an attempt by Friends of Del Mar Bluffs to bypass the STB and to seek relief through forum shopping in state court,” the update states. “NCTD respectfully urges the STB to issue a decision on the preemption issues it raised in its petition herein as soon as possible, especially with respect to the safety fencing project, which NCTD will commence construction of imminently.” The NCTD also filed a notice of removal on Wednesday which transfers the suit out of San Diego County Superior Court and into the federal California Southern District Court, stating that the case ultimately focuses on federal laws. Friends of Del Mar Bluffs attorney Anders Aannestad said they will “address the proper forum for this litigation in court at the appropriate time.” “We anticipate that NCTD’s strategy in removing the case to federal court is to eventually have a federal administrative agency decide these important issues that should be decided by California courts,” Aannestad said in a statement.
ey,” said resident Katie Taylor. “I didn’t know the numbers would turn out like that but I do recommend you stay with Waste Management because I don’t want to see Republic Services anywhere near Oceanside because it would probably be three times that amount.” Republic Services, another nationwide trash collector like Waste Management, originally proposed a $40.9 million contract with the city last November. According to Water Utilities Director Cari Dale, the “substantial” rate increases are due to Senate Bill 1383, also called California’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction law. The bill aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing organic waste in landfills, which emits methane, a greenhouse gas that has about 80 times more warming power than carbon dioxide. The law also requires 20% of edible food that would be disposed of to be recovered for human consumption by 2025. Councilmember Christopher Rodriguez was one of the two council members to vote against the contract approval as a way to stand up against the state’s new mandates. “Sacramento likes to move on policies with respect to offsetting climate change at the expense of you California residents, and I disagree with that,” Rodriguez said. “Until local jurisdictions start to fight back against the nonsense coming out of Sacramento, they’re gonna keep passing regulations and expect you to pay for it.” Mayor Esther Sanchez also voted against the agreement but for different reasons than Rodriguez. “We have not done enough to get the lowest cost for service and the best services,” Sanchez said. “There is not enough education and outreach.” To compost collected organic materials, Waste Management has entered into a separate agreement with Agri Service, which operates the El Corazon compost facility. The city is set to terminate its current operating and property lease agreement with Agri Service by the end of 2023.

day after receiving a letter from State Attorney General Rob Bonta on behalf of the California Coastal Commission instructing the board not to approve the contract until they had complied with the Coastal Act and the California Environmental Quality Act. The contract will cover the first phase of fencing implementation, including 4- and 6-foot fencing directly west of the railroad beginning at Coast Boulevard and running south around 675 feet. Six-foot fencing will begin again with an approximately 75-foot stretch east of the railroad around 13th Street, and then again along the upper bluff from 9th Street to down past 4th Street. Fencing connecting these areas will be completed in Phase 2, according to NCTD. Construction is planned to begin this summer and should cost no more than $1.5 million, according to the contract. Following the contract approval, the California Coastal Commission also issued a cease and desist letter to the NCTD on March 7, asserting that they would need to obtain a coastal development permit prior to constructing the fence.
Fenced in
A 2020 trespassing risk mitigation study by NCTD identified Del Mar as one of three areas with the most train strike and trespassing incidents in San Diego County, alongside Encinitas and Oceanside., resulting in proposed fencing projects. While construction is underway in
Oceanside and preparing to kick off in Encinitas, Del Mar has continued to push back. The study found the greatest number of strike incidents on the railway in Del Mar have occurred on a short stretch between Coast Boulevard and 13th

Street, where the railway’s gradual turn to the east creates a “blind corner.” Nine train strike incidents took place in Del Mar between 2016 and 2021, with six resulting in fatalities, according to the NCTD website. Many residents and city officials have advocated for the fencing to be limited to the area near Coast Boulevard where more strike incidents have occurred, and for NCTD to do away with plans for fencing that could limit public access on the upper bluff trails enjoyed by countless pedestrians, bikers and joggers and where accidents are far less common. “We understand it’s a dilemma. You have to have public access, but you have to keep it as safe as possible. You have to figure it out, and you have to work together,” said resident Ca-
milla Rang, a bluffside resident of more than 20 years. “You can make it safer, but you can’t bubble-wrap it.” The NCTD gave the city of Del Mar until Feb. 28 to agree to a modified 4-foot-tall fence design on the Del Mar bluffs rather than the original 6-foot option, with the caveat that the city would need to take on maintenance responsibility and liability due to the reduced height. The City Council ultimately rejected the offer in a 3-2 vote, leaving NCTD to proceed with a 6-foot design. Residents have also shared concerns about the fragility of the bluffs and the potential impact of fence construction –– particularly the proposed drilling of 3-foot holes –– citing yet another reason that the district needs to acquire a Coastal Development Permit. A 2020 geotechnical study of the proposed fencing area by Leighton Consulting, commissioned by NCTD, concluded that the project would “not impact the stability of the bluffs or the trackbed support, nor promote additional erosion/bluff retreat.” However, the city of Del Mar claims that several unknowns remain about the potential impact to the bluffs. The city solicited a third-party geotechnical review of Leighton’s study by Atlas Technical Consultants in September 2021, which noted that the study did not discuss the potential impacts to bluff stability from construction equipment and vibrations, among other factors.

Oceanside Unified sells rest of Garrison site School board OKs $16M sale to Van Daele Homes By Samantha Nelson
OCEANSIDE — The Oceanside Unified School District board recently approved the sale of the remaining 8-acres of the former Garrison School property to housing developer Van Daele Homes for $16 million. The board unanimously approved the sale and purchase agreement during its April 12 meeting. Developer Van Daele Homes is only buying about 8.2 acres of the total 11.2 acres of property located at 333 Garrison Street, while the other 3 acres were purchased by the City of Oceanside for $3.3 million in February for the El Corazon Sewer Lift Station. The lift station will be built at the north end of the former school site near the corner of Garrison and Mesa Drive and will pump 5 million gallons of wastewater daily, while the remainder of the property will be developed into new homes. Van Daele Homes has both single- and multi-family housing developments

throughout California and Utah. Its closest developments include single-level flats in Rancho Cucamonga and single-family, detached home development in Chatsworth, north of Los Angeles. Oceanside Unified sold the remaining 8.2 acres of property to the
housing developer for $16 million. The entire 11.2 acres of property was originally appraised at $13.3 million. “Our initial suggestion to the city was that they buy it all and make good use of it but they declined and chose to buy 3 acres,” said Trustee Mike
Blessing. Garrison Elementary closed during the 20192020 school year due to sinkhole damage. Students were moved to San Luis Rey Elementary, which is set to undergo major renovations over the next few years, will be renamed after Pablo Tac, a local indig-
enous scholar born at Mission San Luis Rey in 1822, in an effort to better unite the two merged schools. Victoria Mariani, a teacher at San Luis Rey, questioned why the school’s multipurpose building’s entire ceiling cannot be raised as part of the modernization process
especially now that the district is set to receive several million more dollars for the Garrison property than what was originally anticipated. Currently, the plan is to only raise part of the ceiling above the stage, but Mariani noted that it wouldn’t help with acoustics for performing arts shows. “The current height of the San Luis Rey multipurpose room creates a dark, claustrophobic feeling which is not conducive to a musical or theatrical performance,” Mariani said. Mariani also noted that the district is receiving more money for the Garrison property than the entire cost of the modernization effort for San Luis Rey, which is set at $18 million. “District leaders have said that they do not want to pay any additional costs that would accrue if the ceiling were to be raised, however in light of tonight’s proposed $16 million price tag on just part of the Garrison campus and the district’s plan to remodel Reynolds Elementary with a starting budget of $50 million, it is glaringly obvious that there is no equity among schools among Oceanside Unified,” Mariani said.
Del Mar delays return to in-person meetings until September By Laura Place
DEL MAR — The Del Mar City Council opted on Monday to continue holding city public meetings in a solely remote format through September, with the possibility of bringing them back earlier, even as the majority of jurisdictions in San Diego County return to in-person meetings. City staff originally recommended a June timeline for the return to the council chambers for meetings, as part of the city’s move to Phase 2 of COVID-19 reopening protocols. The council, however, expressed a desire to continue in a remote format until the fall due to recent small spikes in COVID-19 cases, a light meeting schedule over the summer, and the need for staff to adjust to a new work format in the coming months. No vote was taken on the matter, but three of the five council members expressed strong support for the idea while Councilman Dave Druker and Mayor Dwight Worden said they were fine with either option. The council has just four meetings scheduled between June and September, according to the council calendar. “We’re a small city with a small staff that’s stretched pretty thin, and by coming back in September instead of June, we are helping our staff help us,” said Councilwoman Terry Gaasterland. “There remains uncertainty [with COVID-19], and we are highly comfortable as a
pre-COVID, of people coming to public works in person … it’s not enough of a frequency to even warrant a Zoom room,” said Jones. Councilwoman Tracy Martinez, however, expressed concerns about residents being unable to access needed information services on Fridays if no one is there to answer the phone, for example. “Why should our residents have less access [than other cities]?” Martinez asked. Jones said the city will make sure that office phone lines forward calls and messages to staff if they are working remotely, to ensure residents can find the inforACROSS THE REGION, a handful of city governments, including Del Mar, are reluctant to re- mation they need. turn to in-person meetings due to COVID-19 concerns.

immediately,” said Colleen Windsor, spokeswoman for the transit agency. Mask-wearing requirements on transit operations were thrown into doubt Monday when U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle in Florida issued a ruling saying the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had exceeded its authority by mandating face coverings on mass transportation. Most major airlines — including Southwest, Delta, American and United — quickly made mask-wearing optional in response to the ruling. The Transportation Security Administration also announced that it would no longer enforce the mask rule at airports. According to Sabrina LoPiccolo, spokeswoman for the San Diego County Airport Authority, masks remain optional while traveling through San Diego International Airport for both passengers and employees. “Our primary goal is to ensure the health and safety of the traveling public,’’ she told City News Service. “We will continue to comply with TSA guidance on masking. At this time, TSA’s mask mandate is not in effect.’’ The ride-hailing service Uber also dropped its mask mandate for drivers and passengers, saying face coverings are still recommended. Lyft had not yet issued any changes in its masking policy. — City News Service

Carlsbad education group hosts inaugural gala May 21 Neil Diamond tribute band tops bill at Omni resort By Steve Puterski
CARLSBAD — The Carlsbad Educational Foundation is hosting its first-ever gala next month, looking to expand its role as the biggest private financial supporter of the Carlsbad Unified School District. And the local nonprofit organization will have some help from cult-favorite musical act “Super Diamond,” the famous Neil Diamond tribute band, which headlines the May 21 gala at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa. The gala will be the foundation's first in-person event since the pandemic began two years ago and also a way the nonprofit can streamline fundraising to benefit students in the district, according to Laura Pitts, CEO of Carlsbad Educational Foundation. The event will also honor J.R. Phillips, the former chairman of the group’s board, who helped double

their fundraising efforts and led the organization to new heights even as the pandemic pummeled the district. Once the school district identifies a particular need, Carlsbad Educational Foundation helps bridge state funding gaps, focusing primarily on awarding grants for music, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) and innovation, Pitts said. “What I really like about the gala is all the attendees that come are going to walk away with a stronger understanding of our mission,” Pitts said. “It will be an entertaining event and also one that can have a huge and immediate impact on the 11,000 students in the district.” The organization, which was founded in 1983, has been a fundraising arm and support system for Carlsbad Unified for decades. Phillips, who left the board last year, said over the past seven years, Carlsbad Educational Foundation has nearly doubled its fundraising from $500,000 to $1 million per year. The local group offers 40 programs, including Kids Care, an onsite before-and-after school program that has been “massively profitable” for the
nonprofit, which gives every dollar of profit to the school district. Additionally, Phillips said the board and staff have listened to parents, students and district officials, allowing Carlsbad Educational Foundation to better tailor its programs to meet the community's needs. Another program, Science Lab Supercharge, donates money to middle school teachers for consumable materials. According to Pitt, the group has helped increase funding exponentially — from $0.66 upward to $10 per student. One of the organization's future goals is to streamline its fundraising efforts to help the community better understand the foundation and its mission, starting with its first-ever gala. “We’re hoping to find the right audience with the gala, grow that audience over the next few years and get better, and better, and better at messaging,” Phillips said. “The old saying is, ‘Quit selling them what you have and sell them what they want,’ and you’ll make more money.” Prior to booking the band "Super Diamond," Phillips said the advice was to "go big" when selecting a musical act to sell more tickets to the event. The San Francisco-based group will perform Neil Diamond classics, including “Sweet Caroline,” “America,” “Cherry Cherry,” “Song Sung Blue" and "Forever in Blue Jeans.” The gala will feature both silent and live auctions, a special student performance and a surprise “grand prize.” Tickets are available, although prices increase on May 1. Currently, tickets are $250 per person and $2,000 for a table of 10. After May 1, individual tickets increase to $275.
HOLLYWOOD — A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled this week honoring “Better Call Saul” star Bob Odenkirk for a career in which he has received 16 Emmy nominations as a producer, writer, actor and lyricist. Odenkirk reminisced at the ceremony about how he used to visit the Walk of Fame and “pretend” to show complete disdain for all things Hollywood. “ I walked the streets with my nose high in the ODENKIRK air, scoffing at every symbol of Hollywood and fame and famous people and celebrities and everything about it that was so big and distant and intimidating,” he said. “And I still do that. I still pretend to disdain it all. It’s healthy. It’s better that way. But inside, I don’t disdain Hollywood. I love it.” David Cross and “Better Call Saul” castmate Rhea Seehorn were among those joining Odenkirk at the ceremony in front of the former Redbury Hotel building at 1725 Vine St., near Hollywood Boulevard. Cross and Odenkirk starred in and hosted the 1995-98 HBO sketch comedy “Mr. Show with Bob and David” which brought Odenkirk two Emmy nominations for outstanding writing for a variety or music program and one for outstanding music and lyrics as the lyricist for the song “How High The Mountain.” The star is the 2,720th since the completion of the Walk of Fame in 1961 with the first 1,558 stars. It is next to the star of Bryan Cranston, with whom Odenkirk co-starred in “Breaking Bad,” the 200813 AMC drama about a cancer-stricken high school chemistry teacher who turns to making and selling methamphetamine. The ceremony came on the same day as the start of the sixth and final season of “Better Call Saul,” AMC’s spinoff of “Breaking Bad.” Odenkirk received outstanding lead actor in a drama series Emmy nominations in each of first four seasons of “Better Call Saul.” He is also a producer of “Better Call Saul,” which received outstanding drama series Emmy nominations in each of its five completed seasons, which resulted in five more Emmy nominations for Odenkirk.

County presents three draft maps for SDUHSD By Anna Opalsky
ENCINITAS — The county's Committee on School District Organization presented three draft electoral maps for the San Dieguito Union High School District during an April 13 public hearing. Since the San Diego County Office of Education assumed control of the school district’s redistricting process earlier this month, the committee has held two public hearings to allow community input for the demographer. The county’s involvement comes amid a pending lawsuit alleging violations of both the California Voting Rights Act and Brown Act. In a letter to Superintendent Cheryl JamesWard, County Superintendent of Schools Paul Gothold wrote the county's takeover was “appropriate given issues calling into question the timeliness and legality of the District’s action to adopt a redistricting map.” In compliance with the California Education Code and California Voting Rights Act, the maps presented by the demographer, Washington D.C.-based company ARCBridge Consulting and Training, balanced the population within a 10% variance without diluting the representation of minority voters, according to an ARCBridge representative who spoke at the meeting. In addition to the redistricting requirements, many speakers at the first public hearing on April 6 requested the new maps maintain the current election cycles and trustee representation of each district; place a middle and high school in each area, and keep intact communities of interest, such as elementary feeder school districts. “We have to look at [census data] and see how to draw the areas such that we meet the redistricting criteria, as well as preserve the interest of the community, continuity of trustee election cycles … [and representation] of minorities,” said Priti Mathur, a representative of ARCBridge. In 2021, ARCBridge worked with neighboring school districts, including San Diego Unified High School District, San Diego Community College District and Los Angeles Unified High School District. The company has not previously worked with the County Office of Education or San Dieguito Union High School District, according to Mathur. The three maps presented at the April 13 public hearing were all based on the school district’s 2017 “Cranberry Map,” the map currently used by the district for which the population variance was out of compliance at 27.9%. Considering public input, all three maps maintained election cycles, did
not displace trustees and attempted to keep communities of interest intact, according to Mathur. The first map presented, Map A, has a population variance of 3.76%. There is one middle school in each area and at least one high school in every area, with the exception of Area 3. Both San Dieguito Academy and Sunset High School are located in Area 1. The second proposal, Map B, has a variance of 0.98% and keeps the same distributions of middle and high schools per area as Map A. The third map, Map C, has a variance of 0.3% and places one middle school and high school in each district, moving San Dieguito Academy from Area 1 to Area 3. During the public hearing, 15 speakers commented on the maps. Regarding the distribution of schools, some favored Map C for the school in Area 3, however, some said that moving San Dieguito Academy would divide the Hispanic community near Ocean Knoll Elementary, which is right next to the high school. “It is important that [the Hispanic community] remains intact with their Ocean Knolls Elementary and Area 1 neighbor,” one speaker, a resident of Solana Beach, said. “I realize [this] means that Area 1 would not have a high school and that is a compromise that works for my community.” Following this hearing, the demographer will revise the maps using the community’s feedback, according to County Board of Education President Rick Shea. The next public hearing will be held Wednesday, April 20. The deadline for the county to select a map is April 30.

Locals help Ukrainian refugees keep pets By Steve Puterski
CARLSBAD — Over the past several weeks, thousands of Eastern European refugees escaping the Russian invasion of Ukraine have fled their homes for Tijuana near the U.S.-Mexico border. On top of a grave humanitarian crisis, numerous refugees are being forced to abandon their pets in Mexico, according to two nonprofits and Carlsbad Councilman Keith Blackburn. Blackburn, a longtime animal advocate, recently connected with Oceanside resident Erin Riley-Carrasco, owner of Alma Rescue, a local group that rescues animals and helps spay and neuter dogs in Tijuana and Vizcaino, Mexico. Blackburn, attempting to understand the situation and policies involving refugees and their pets, contacted the Border Patrol, U.S. Customs, Centers for
Disease Control and congressional representatives but was bounced from agency to agency. After some continued digging, Blackburn was able to determine the policy for allowing dogs and other pets to enter the United States was inconsistent, at best. “I got a panicked call from someone who said what can you do to help because we need help now,” Blackburn said. “What are the rules, what do they need and enforce consistently. That was just too much. I got frustrated and started working with Erin.” Riley-Carrasco, who has described pets as “family members,” said some border agents will let families cross California's southern border with dogs, while others do not. Others were forced to leave their beloved pets behind on the streets of Tijuana.
According to the New York Times, federal health regulations prohibit — except on an “extremely limited basis” — any dogs from entering the United States if they have been in any one of roughly 50 countries, including Ukraine. The Centers for Disease Control has classified these countries as “high risk” for rabies. In some cases, Riley-Carrasco was able to connect with a shelter in Mexico to temporarily house refugee pets left at the border. Some vets have assisted the group by helping administer rabies vaccines, but frequent trips to the border have been difficult, costly and time-consuming. “The last eight times I’ve crossed with a carload of dogs they haven’t even looked at the vaccination books I have,” Riley-Carrasco said. “All they require is an updated rabies
vaccine after one month.” Since launching her outreach efforts, Riley-Carrasco connected with Victoria Pindrik, founder of the Save Ukraine Relief Fund, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit dedicated to assisting refugees. Two days after the war began, Save Ukraine Relief Fund had boots on the ground in Poland to help refugees, providing humanitarian aid and helping with evacuations, housing, food, clothes and more. According to various media reports, as many as 1,000 refugees are landing in Tijuana every day. Pindrik said the stress and emotional toll of the war have been difficult for most and the thought of losing, or having to abandon a pet, adds to the rigors of having their lives altered forever. “These pets are a part of their family,” Pindrik said.

Property offenses drive Encinitas crime rate upward Report: City’s overall crime rate increased by 31% By Stephen Wyer
ENCINITAS — While perhaps unsurprising to some residents, political candidates and local law enforcement officials, the overall crime rate in Encinitas increased by 31% in 2021, according to SANDAG’s latest crime report released on Tuesday. According to the report, crime throughout San Diego County rose by 9% between 2020 and 2021, with violent crime increasing by 8% and property crimes rising by 9% (Violent crimes included homicides, rapes, and aggravated assaults. Property crimes included robberies, residential burglaries, larceny, and motor vehicle theft). While the city’s violent crime level rose by just 2% — which is below the regional average — property crimes increased by a whopping 37% in 2021, the data shows. Only the city of Solana Beach had a higher rate of property crime (49%) countywide. Last year, $4,369,895 worth of property was reported stolen in Encinitas, a 16% increase from 2017. Of that stolen property (in dollar value), $699,640 was recovered.
NEARLY $244 MILLION worth of property was stolen in the San Diego region last year, an average of $668,000 per day, according to the latest SANDAG report. Thirty-four percent (34%) of this property, valued at over $83 million, was recovered in 2021. Courtesy photo
Capt. Dustin Lopez, of the San Diego Sheriff’s North Coastal Station, told The Coast News the numbers were predictable to law enforcement and reflect a combination of factors, including trends attributable to the pandemic and the impact of state policies on criminal justice system. Since crime rates in 2020 were lower throughout San Diego County as a result of mandatory stay-at-home orders and business closures related to COVID-19, Lopez said last year’s increases, particularly property crimes, partially reflect an overall increase in social activity
coming out of the pandemic. “I knew the [crime rate] was going to be higher because with the pandemic people were completely in lockdown, stores weren’t open, so I knew that with the reopening of everything trickling into 2021 and people re-engaging in society, that overall crime and especially theft would likely go up,” Lopez said. Cynthia Burke, senior director of data science at SANDAG, told The Coast News the regional crime uptick was indubitably connected to the end of pandemic-era stay-at-home orders. Burke also empha-
sized that last year’s numbers are still low relative to the preceding years. “Considering our other figures in the report, our crime rates are still historically low,” Burke said. “Property crime rates increased 9%, for example, over the past year, but are still the second-lowest in the past 42 years. 2020 was also an unusual year with COVID and stay-home orders, and with things opening back up, there is more opportunity for crime than in the last calendar year.” For instance, with more businesses open and more people out of their residences, an uptick in burglaries
was largely consistent with what police were expecting, Lopez said. Like many municipalities statewide, Encinitas has also not been immune to a post-pandemic surge in petty thefts. Lopez also said that coastal cities throughout the county, including Encinitas, are experiencing an increase in transient populations, which he suspects is significantly contributing to the city’s escalated crime rate. “Anytime you talk about beach communities like [Encinitas], you should talk about the transitory populations coming in and out of cities,” Lopez said. “I think with (Interstate) 5 so close to the coastal cities it really allows for greater ingress/egress between cities down here. For instance, we’re seeing more criminals coming from Los Angeles into our cities, we’ve documented this through arrests, and we’ve really seen that transitory population coming in and having an impact here locally.” But Lopez also blamed state policies for exacerbating crime at the local level. In particular, he pointed to Proposition 47 — a voter-approved referendum in 2014 that reclassified certain felonies as misdemeanors with lesser penalties — impacting drug and property crime numbers. “We’ve seen a huge increase after Prop 47 in terms of drug and theft
crimes,” Lopez said. “Prop 47 really had a huge impact on drug offenders, and there’s a direct correlation between drugs and theft-related crimes. “Drug addictions are generally sponsored by illegal activity, and with Prop 47 it’s gotten harder to get people into rehabilitation programs and put that pressure on them, so we have a large drug-offending population out on the streets right now.” Councilman Tony Kranz agreed with Lopez, saying the city’s rise in crime, at least in part, could be attributed to both post-pandemic trends and the impact of state policies. And similar to Lopez, Kranz also suggested the city’s reputation as a prime coastal destination was likely correlated with the surge in property crimes reflected in the SANDAG report. “These [numbers] are consistent with what we’re seeing around the region and the state and the country really in terms of an uptick in crime,” Kranz said. “It’s something that we as city leaders never rest about. We’re always trying to lower crime and we spend millions of dollars on our sheriff’s department and we have a captain who is totally focused on addressing the crime issue.” “We don’t like these TURN TO CRIME RATE ON 20

Sports Carlsbad’s Dickerson gets NFL offseason dominated by QB movement his shot with the champs sports talk jay paris
B
efore Alex Dickerson was a father, he was “Grandpa.” Dickerson, of Carlsbad, is the Atlanta Braves’ designated hitter. But prior to Dickerson landing in the South, the former North County prep standout earned a nickname that didn’t match his birth certificate. “Whenever I hear that, it brings me back to my high school days in Poway,” Dickerson said. “I’m not sure how it has surfaced again, but it has.” Rew ind to Dickerson’s teenage years when he also played football at ALEX Poway. Af- DICKERSON ter his sophomore season, Dickerson underwent back surgery, which cost him his junior year in athletics but delivered a moniker that stuck. Dickerson, as expected, hobbled around after getting his back back on track. With him shuffling around campus looking like someone 75 instead of 15, “Grandpa” came to life. No matter the years, or team, Dickerson is always happy to be back at Petco Park. “It’s really exciting,” Dickerson said during the Braves’ recent visit to christen the Padres’ home schedule. “Because I always know I’ll have someone there to support me.” Once Dickerson caught a fly ball to end the inning and turned to throw it into the stands. Lo and behold the fan on the other end was a familiar face. “It was a high school teammate I hadn’t heard from in a long time,” Dickerson said. “He said, ‘Hey Alex,’ and I said, ‘Hi Tony, nice seeing you but I got to go in.” The Braves are all-in on the left-handed-hitting Dickerson giving them some pop in the lineup and some occasional work in the outfield. “We’re looking at him to drive in some runs,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “But he might have to hit one off the hands to do it.” Dickerson has been finding the barrel but the ball isn’t finding open spaces. So despite him going 1-for-21 to start the season, no one wearing a Braves uniform is panicking. Including Dickerson. “It’s a lot different
than when I was in high school,” Dickerson said. “I would stress out if I didn’t get a hit against Rancho Bernardo.” Dickerson’s occupation has provided him with perspective. Yes, he’s in the majors and no, it hasn’t been a smooth stretch of highway in reaching them. “There’s been a lot of hard work,” Dickerson said. “And a lot of ups and downs.” It’s been the baseball equivalent of a carnival ride. Dickerson was all-everything at Indiana University, including being named the Big Ten Conference’s top player in 2010. After the Pittsburgh Pirates drafted him in the third round the following year, those tracking Dickerson saw him excel at every minor league level. His journey has included two stints with the Padres (2015-16, ’19), the San Francisco Giants (2019-21) and now the Braves, the defending world champions. In Dickerson’s orbit, it’s been quite a journey. It’s one that has seen him battle through ankle, hip, back, shoulder and hamstring ailments. Dickerson is feeling good now and it shows. “I’ve always enjoyed watching him hit,” Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson said. “He’s got that smooth, left-handed swing.” It was Tony Gwynn’s stroke that Dickerson admired while going to countless Padres game while growing up. That the late Gwynn also resided in Poway made him extra special in Dickerson’s eyes. “I always said he was a neighbor,” Dickerson said. “But, actually, he lived on the other side of the town.” Dickerson is realizing most every baseball-playing kid’s dream and he doesn’t take it lightly. That’s why Dickerson was back at Poway during the offseason, honing his craft with his former hitting coach, Deron Johnson. And Bob Parry, Dickerson’s ex-head coach at Poway, is always quick with an encouraging word. Being fast is something Dickerson needs to be now that “Grandpa” became a dad in 2020. Little Levi is usually on the prowl in their Carlsbad home, except he’s not very little anymore. “He is a big kid,” said Dickerson, and few things match the pride of the father. “He’s in the 100% percentile in every group and he’s really strong.” Levi will soon realize how often his daddy’s strong will was tested. It started when he first answered to “Grandpa.” Contact Jay Paris at jparis8@aol.com and follow him @jparis_sports

iming can be everything. All I discovered was, at worst, littering. But when I stumbled across it, I was “in a mood,” and it suddenly represented every piece of careless student mayhem that had ever taken place in the school media center. Right there and then, I decided heads would roll. As I was shelving books, I had found a baseball-sized wad of tissue paper scraps jammed down out of sight. I find these sorts of treasures, and worse, on a regular basis, but this time I had some eyewitness evidence leading to the culprits. I had been on hand when the small group of fifth-grade students had been snipping that very tissue for an art project the week before. I had forewarned them several times that the blizzard of tissue bits needed to disappear before they did. Oh, it disappeared all right — down behind the books. It’s spring. They’re fifth-graders. I should have been more specific. I can rarely ID those who leave such flotsam behind, so I generally consider it an occupational hazard. But that day, I gave free rein to my ire and fired off a scathing note and the offending ball of refuse, to the teacher, asking that she show the class my discovery. I just wanted whoever did it to know they were busted and perhaps be a little chagrined when the teacher took the class to task on his/her behalf. To my surprise and delight, a folder full of apology notes appeared on my desk the next day. The variety and tone of the notes were beyond hilarious and a real study in pre-teen guilt, innocence and artistic leanings. Some were scribbled on notebook paper, while others were works of art

small talk jean gillette with hand-crafted envelopes, in pencil, rainbow colors and one in gold gel pen. I had a good hunch about who actually stuck the paper in the shelf, and sure enough, his was the only letter that simply said, “I’m sorry about the tissue stuffed behind the books.” Every other note included a general disclaimer that left me laughing for hours. One said wryly, “I’m not sure who or what did it, but our class needs an attitude adjustment.” Another attorney-in-the-making said, “I’m sorry about the tissue incident, but I’m also thinking the after-school care kids did it, because they use tissue paper for arts & crafts.” Then there was, “We’re all sorry about the mess in the media center and especially the wad of paper. Whoever did it is really sorry, I hope.” The most cryptic of all simply said, “I’m sorry for leaving tissue paper on the ground. I did not shove it into the bookcase, but I was a cause why it was shoved in the bookcase and I’m sorry.” Well, they were so adorable and endearing, I had to cancel the beheadings altogether. I actually wanted to run in and give them all a hug. I refrained, however, remembering just in time that if it’s a choice between beheading and public hugging, most fifth-graders will happily choose the block.

Oceanside expects budget surplus next year Report notes higher inflation, several new hires OCEANSIDE — Despite higher potential inflation costs and more city employees across several departments, the city of Oceanside expects a $2.4 million surplus at the end of the fiscal year, according to an April 13 staff report. The city’s proposed revenue for next year is $189.19 million with $186.06 million in expenses and a transfer of $1.09 million to capital improvement projects, leaving a surplus of $2.4 million. The city’s revenue comes from a projected $79.79 million in property tax, $27.55 in sales tax and $8.8 million from transient occupancy tax. The projected surplus is less than what staff originally reported to the Oceanside City Council during its five-year financial forecast in February — a reduction largely due to ongoing costs related to several new city positions. The latest positions include: an additional associate engineer, lead public works inspector and code enforcement officer to Development Services; an office specialist and three EMTs to the city's Fire Department, and a new Parks and Recreation director. Jill Moya, the city's financial services director, said about
$1.4 million in these ongoing costs have been added to the budget. The creation of these new positions breaks the city-implemented hiring freeze over the last two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The budget also accounts for a 5% inflation increase, which is greater than the previous year’s inflation assumptions (0% to 2%) because of the current economic environment. The city has also added $350,000 to the city’s vehicle fleet fund to account for rising gas prices. “Our treasury manager is monitoring the rising interest rates to take advantage of investment opportunities within our investment policy as they become available,” Moya said. “It’s important to note that we’re continuously monitoring the status of the city’s revenues and expenses and as needed as we did during the pandemic, we can cut back on expenses or initiate a hiring freeze to manage our costs. Councilmember Christopher Rodriguez was pleased to see the 5% inflation increase accounted for in the budget. “One of my biggest concerns was preparing for inflation,” Rodriguez said. “Everything is going up in cost and we have to be wise as a city to prepare for those additional costs especially if those continue and we head into recession, so I’m happy to see the 5% placeholder to absorb those costs so we’re
not surprised by them in the future.” Rodriguez was also excited about the new Parks and Recreation director position being added to the roster. Mayor Esther Sanchez said she was supportive of funding a Parks and Recreation director, but wants to see an assessment on what exactly that position would be doing and what the department needs to return service levels back to pre-COVID. “I have been asking the same questions for the last six to eight months, and that is what this position would do,” she said. “I think it’s very important to know what this person would be doing, and I understand we’re trying to expand and we do have a lot of vacancies… I would like to see some kind of study to see number one, what would it take to do the things we were doing before COVID, and number two, the things we have on the daïs and what we would like to see more of and what the structure would look like.” Other assumptions already included in the budget are a $4 million increase in water utilities for the city due to the Pure Water Oceanside water purification facility beginning operation earlier this year. Water Utilities Director Cari Dale reported no rate increases to water or sewer either this year or next. Residents will see an increase in solid waste rates beginning in 2024 under

the city’s new contract with Waste Management. As recently reported by The Coast News, waste pickup rates are expected to rise by 38% for commercial and 40% for residential consumers mostly to account for the new state law that targets reducing organic materials from landfills. The city is also adding a new position to help manage the organics program. The city also has $164 million lined up in capital improvement projects. City Engineer Brian Thomas noted that development impact fees began trending down last year, and if they continue to do so the city may have to dip into the general fund to fund more projects. The city collects development impact fees through thoroughfare signals, citywide drainage, park and public facility fees. Bikewalk Oceanside Chairman Tom Lichterman is concerned about the lack of work on the Oceanside portion of the Inland Rail Trail that is supposed to connect Escondido to Oceanside with a bike path following the Sprinter rail corridor. The project was first approved in 1995, and while significant progress has been made in Escondido, San Marcos and Vista, Oceanside’s portion has yet to be completed with the path ending at Melrose Drive. “Oceanside residents are still waiting to see something get started on this

project,” Lichterman said. Interim City Manager Jonathan Borrego explained that the city has been unsuccessful in obtaining grant funding for the Inland Rail Trail as of this point but will continue trying anyway. “It’s only a matter of time because it is a priority project of ours,” Borrego said. As for Oceanside Harbor, with revenues and expenditures both exactly about $8.8 million, there isn’t any money left to go toward improvement projects, such as dock replacements. Public Works Director Hamid Bahadori said the current year’s J-dock replacement project will need to carry over about $436,000 into next year’s budget, though the harbor may not need all of that money in the end. About $2.19 million is being pulled from the harbor’s current $3.6 million reserve funds for infrastructure improvements. Bahadori said this move was necessary until staff can present a needs assessment study for prioritized harbor improvements. Liz Rhea, chair of the Harbor and Beaches Advisory Committee, doesn’t want to increase slip rent fees in the harbor to pay for the capital improvement projects, but Councilmember Peter Weiss noted that rate increases most likely have to happen in the future to increase revenues. “They have to go up at some point,” Weiss said.

of free speech rights guaranteed under the U.S. and California constitutions. While there is no law against a private individual restricting access to their personal social media, recent federal rulings have determined that constitutional violations can be triggered if access is restricted to an elected officeholder's social media page used to promote or discuss topics related to their official capacity. Since Blakepsear uses her official mayoral Facebook page as a forum to discuss city and regional business, events and projects, all speech on such a forum is subject to First Amendment protections, Curran argued. David Snyder, an attorney and executive director of First Amendment Coalition, previously told The Coast News that judges have generally considered officeholders’ social media pages as “public forums,” which are protected under the First Amendment. “...The government cannot discriminate based on viewpoint,” Snyder said. “They cannot block speech because they disagree with you on a position. If the only thing talked about is public business and the officeholder lists themselves as ‘Mayor Joe Smith,’ that will likely be found to constitute a public forum and to limit the official’s ability to block people arbitrarily based on their political views.”

Inspired Senior Living
I
first began bodysurfing in the early ’60s, after hitchhiking to Huntington Pier, where I terminated my journey from inland, but found myself without a surfboard. Not that it would have mattered anyway — board surfing was banned after 10 a.m. and we never arrived there until around noon. The surf, as I recall, was generally chunky and blown out and at higher tides turned the shore break into an aquatic wheel of fortune — good fortune for those catching the best waves, bad if you landed wrong. Don’t get me wrong, HB Pier is not a Newport Wedge jackhammer that can snap your neck in a fraction of a second, but it can display enough power to get your attention. Being good at bodysurfing, which I am not, requires timing, technique, and agility. Timing, in being able to catch the right wave in the right spot at the right moment, and tuck roll out the back of before it grinds you into the bottom. Technique, in knowing where to put your hands and how to angle and place your body as you ride. Agility, in being able to twist and flex instantly as green water turns top mud. Nothing else is required for bodysurfing except a swimsuit, although fins are helpful for those of
water spot chris ahrens us requiring a little extra help. Short, stiff fins seem to be best for the sport and can be purchased for around fifty bucks at your local surf shop. Once called “handguns,” before that term fell out of favor for obvious reasons, small planing devices that fit onto the hand are now known as “hand planes” or “hand boards” and can enhance the ride by offering more planing surface and a longer ride. Legendary North Shore lifeguard Mark Cunningham is among the greatest bodysurfers of my generation and could often be seen getting deep barrels at Pipeline amid a field of foam and fiberglass. In Southern California, the aforementioned Newport Wedge is the place for great bodysurfing. The good news is you don’t have to be a great swimmer to bodysurf the Wedge. The bad news is that when the Wedge is living up to its name, a tiny side wave will combine with a decent sized incoming swell, jack up the wave to many times its original height and unload tons of
saltwater in one big painful womp! Kneeboards, bodyboards, hand planes and purists with nothing but a set of Duck Feet compete for the peak and fall from the sky into those hungry jaws. Board surfing has also become common in recent years at the Wedge, where surfers take off deep and score barrels not found this side of Hawaii. My suggestion to the inexperienced is to watch the Wedge, rather than ride it. The next time you hear of a big south swell hitting the California coast, head down early and find a place in the sand. Trust me, the show is well worth the price of admission. Otherwise, San Diego’s North County offers a fun alternative for those who don’t relish sacrificing broken bones to the ocean. So, pick up a pair of fins and I’ll catch you in the fun zone. *** Back in the world of foam and fiberglass, don’t forget to check out California Surf Museum’s latest exhibit: “Donald Takayama: Shaping Boards and Lives.” The California Surf Museum, which requires a small donation to enter, is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily and is located at 312 Pier View Way in Oceanside.

Spring Festival a hopping success By Laura Place
SOLANA BEACH — La Colonia Community Park was hopping on Saturday as hundreds of families enjoyed an egg hunt, bouncy houses and face painting in the sunshine at Solana Beach’s annual Children’s Spring Festival. Many families came specifically for the highly anticipated egg hunt, where excitement surged through the air as everyone from toddlers to 9-year-olds, separated into different areas by age group, searched for plastic eggs containing small treasures. After completing their hunt, kids proudly spread out their winnings on the grass and compared how they did with their siblings and friends. Parents had the chance to catch up with each other, and kids were able to spend the day with their neighbors, relatives and classmates. Many residents attend the event every year, but for several families, it was their first time back since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Everyone is out, the sun is out … it’s a really local feel,” said resident Natalya Soto, who came to the festival with her two young daughters. “They look forward to it more than I do. For me it’s just something to do with them to get outside, for them it’s more about the egg hunt and meeting their

classmates.” Following the egg hunt, kids could be seen lining up to get their face painted with bright flowers and bunnies, bounce in the bounce houses, and color in coloring sheets with Easter-themed illustrations. Emotions grew high once again when volunteers with the local Boys and Girls Club, who helped to run the
event, called kids over with a bunny piñata. A gathering crowd of kids called for its destruction as each one stepped up to take a whack, until it broke open with hundreds of small candies. For those more interested in meeting an Easter bunny than whacking him with a stick, the character was also present at the festival and available for photos.

G
eneral manager David Jessup is up to his ears in new furniture and redesign activity, but he is kind enough to give me an hour of time for a walkabout of the Kenwood Inn & Spa near Sonoma County’s charming Kenwood. The stroll unveils the rich ambiance of Italy’s Tuscan countryside, but one thought keeps reoccurring to me: This meticulously maintained property must require a lot of attention. Of course, this is not my problem; I have only to suck in all the gorgeousness of the carefully pruned hedges; the newly sprouting grape vines; the splendid rose bushes; the flowering fruit trees (apple, pear, fig and citrus); the vine-covered trellises; the multiple fountains, patios and pools; and the millhouse with a waterwheel that generates that beautifully serene sound of churning, trickling water. “We put a lot of effort into the exterior, and now we’re putting some TLC into the interior,” Jessup explains as he takes a break from directing what looks like a dozen furniture movers, interior designers and assistants. The inn “was falling down in 2017,” when the Four Sisters Collection bought it, Jessup says. The new owners revitalized the Mediterranean buildings and the 2.5 acres of gardens and vineyard.

Are you ready for a new adventure beer? cheers! north county
ryan woldt
I
like adventures, and I like beer, so when I saw a new beer called Rove Adventure Beer with some silhouetted pine trees and the tagline, “For all of life's adventures,” in my Instagram feed, I assumed it was some targeted marketing. It wasn’t. It was (and is) a new beer offering from the team at Pure Project Brewing. I was in the middle of planning an epic camping trip, my first to Yosemite National Park, and I was already looking for a beer to bring along. This could be the beer I enjoyed at the end of a long day roving the hiking trails. This could be the beer I drank next to the campfire while trying to remember every awe-inspiring crevice of the dawn wall. But why I wondered, would they create a new brand identity for this one beer? I had to find out. I reached out to Makenna Barris, director of marketing at Pure Project, to ask. Cheers!: Rove Beer is — to my understanding — not

a new brewery but a single branded beer. Why decide to create a brand identity separate from Pure Project to promote this new product? Makenna: Yes, Rove is a complementary brand to Pure Project. Due to the approachability and shelf stability of the beer, we
believe it has the potential to access a wider consumer base. Cheers!: How is Rove different from Pure — either the beer itself or will it have its own team on the operations side? Makenna: The Rove brand will still carry the same passion for quality and attention to detail as all of our beers. As opposed to some of our more complex offerings, Rove is built on four simple ingredients: water, malt, hops, and yeast. T he team on the operations side is one and the
same at this time, but that has the potential to change as the brand grows. Cheers!: How would you describe the vibe of Rove Beer, and how does the beer itself help push that vibe? Makenna: We're calling Rove an adventure beer — as in, it's the perfect sidekick for all of life's adventures — and that very much contributes to the vibe of the beer. It’s only 4.2% ABV, so this beer is perfect after a hike, a surf session, or a backyard barbeque. Adventure can mean

a lot of things to different people, and Rove is suitably “sessionable” for whatever your definition of adventure may be. Cheers!: Can you explain what Pure/Rove means when you say, “Beer for Good?” Makenna: As a brewery, we know that we have an impact on our environment. And as a business, we know we have an opportunity to do right with our profits and within our community. To that end, we are certified climate neutral, plastic neutral and are a 1% for the Planet company. As a 1% company, we donate 1% of all sales to non-profits that work to protect our planet. Cheers!: Is there anything else we should know about the Rove Beer brand right now, or you have planned for the future? Makenna: Follow Rove on Instagram @rove.beer, and keep an eye out for some summer giveaways! And we always love to see everyone’s adventures, so tag us in your next #roventure. Cheers!: What is the best way for beer drinkers in North County to try some Rove beer? Makenna: Rove is available at all Pure Project taprooms and online at www.rove.beer for shipping throughout California. Cheers!: Since you’re already here and I’m already asking questions… Is anything new (besides Rove) you want to share about Pure Project? Makenna: We’re still basking in the afterglow of our latest taproom opening in North Park. If you haven’t checked out the space yet, head down for some epic backyard Biergarten vibes. Porch swings, fire pits, and fresh beer flights — you really can’t go wrong. My Yosemite trip was canceled last minute due to snow, closed roads, and single-digit temperatures, but I already had the beer in hand. I decided to seek out some adventures close to home. It went down quickly after a kayak around Lake Hodges. It kept me refreshed after a hike through Hosp Grove. Then I basked in the afterglow of adventure at home with the can cracked, the ballgame on the radio, and a campfire. According to Makenna, there are no more one-off branded beers planned at Pure for the time being, but who knows what adventure is waiting for Pure Project just over the horizon? Stream the Roast! West Coast coffee podcast on the Coast News Podcast page, and be sure to follow and share your drinking adventures with Cheers! North County on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Carruth’s 12th Barrel Tasting event
O
ver the course of the pandemic, many industries were hard hit, but perhaps the hardest hit was the food and beverage industry. A former supervisor once told me, “Rico, when things get tough, there are opportunities to excel.” This was also the attitude of the food and beverage industry during the pandemic. I think two of my favorite outcomes were QR code menus that can be updated on the fly with items and prices and Carruth Cellars’ way of doing events. For more than a decade, owner Adam Carruth has hosted barrel tasting events where guests make reservations and get to spend 20 minutes at each of the five stations with a particular theme, such as Burgundy, Italy, Right Bank, Left Bank (Bordeaux) and Rhone. At the 12th annual Barrel Tasting event on Mrch 26 and 27 in Solana Beach, we were in the first group and paired up with longtime Carruth Cellars wine members Keith Greener and Debbie Day, along with their son Jack Greener. The event started with the Burgundy station. Jamie was pouring two pinot noirs, one with fruit sourced from Sonoma Coast and the other from the Russian River. The second station was the Italian station with two zinfandels, including one with fruit from Milligan’s Dry Creek vineyard that Carruth has been sourcing since 2005. Scuderie Italia mobile pizza oven served up delicious compliments at this station. Right Bank barrel samples at the third station featured fruit sourced from Dry Creek and Chalk Hill. The fourth station was Left Bank (Bordeaux) serving my favorite Carruth Wine, BDX North Coast Blend, before the final Rhone station. Note: A new Carruth Oceanside venue is now open.

15 years of Licking the Plate lick the plate david boylan
I
t occurred to me recently that 2022 marks 15 years of writing Lick the Plate between The Coast News and Surf City Times, where it was called Encinitas Eats. I’m estimating around 750 columns give or take with just a few weeks missed and our new bi-monthly format. And while it’s not a huge milestone, it provided a reason enough to celebrate for a column idea I’ve had for a while that would highlight stories that basically wrote themselves. People from the culinary, culture and music worlds who were either so personally interesting to me, at the top of their game, or provided a product or service that I couldn’t get enough of. Columns like that just flow out of my head effortlessly with never any shortage of words, a problem I would welcome weekly. With that, of the hundreds of columns, I’ve come up with a list of some that were a joy to experience and write that I’d like to share. I’ll try to go in chronological order, but it may not be exact. Going way back, one of my first columns was the now-shuttered Fulano’s Mexican Cafe, the restaurant on Leucadia Boulevard that was a mystery to folks for many years. I felt more connected to my community after that story and privy to some inside information on the place that many just speculated on. Ogata was one of the original Sushi joints that was just a joy to frequent. We called it “budget sushi” as $10 could fill you up. I remember the owner being very thankful and feeling kind of clever with my headline of “Domo Arigato Mr. Ogata,” which was a nod to the Styx song but actually translated to “Thank you, Mr. Ogata.” Blue Ribbon Pizza was such a unique concept when it first opened and blew me away on so many levels, that was an easy one, same with The Flying Pig in Oceanside. The weekly tasting menu paired with wine at Firefly was a culinary delight and introduced me to many unique food and wine pairings that I still reference today. One of my road trip columns to San Diego was to one of my favorite restaurants ever, the charming French Bistro Café Chloe. It was like a slice of France in East Village, easy to love and a joy to write about. And, of course, my be-

loved Juanita’s in Leucadia. The first column was a love letter to my favorite taco shop-type restaurant and the second was an actual interview with one of their California Burritos, or “Cal Burrito” as we called him. It is still the only interview I’ve come across with a food item on a menu … a Lick the Plate original one might say! Being a recipe contest judge and then writing a story on the San Dieguito Heritage Museum Lima Bean Festival taught me
some fascinating history on this area, including the important role that the versatile legume played in the settling of Olivenhain and Encinitas. As a big history buff, it was a delight to put that one together. All of my “where they eat around town” columns that featured area businesses, bands, teams and the like have all been great fun. Bing Surfboards, Corner Frame Shop, Coast Law Group, SDA track team, Surfy Surfy, Dorothy & Bill, and many more all
shared some of their favorite places to eat, often resulting in fun new column ideas. The cocktail column that took me from the American Legion to Moonlight Lounge and O’Hurley’s, sampling drinks along the way of the basic and crafty variety, and was a hoot. When Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista and Escondido began to up their culinary games it was very cool to break out of my Encinitas bubble and experience all they were bringing to the North County dining scene. A few that stand out include the smoky goodness of Campfire, the innovative Wrench & Rodent, Miller’s Table, The Wooden Spoon, Frazier Farms, Yellow Deli and many more. Old school classics like Encinitas Café, Pannikin, Rosanna’s, Tip Top Meats, Privateer and One More That’s It were right up my alley. My annual fish stories column courtesy of Captain Mark Mihelich and Boundless Boat Charters have provided big-time story fodder and unbelievable experiences. And lucky for me, some more recent discoveries have rocked my writing world. Some of those included Vaga at the Alila Marea resort in Leucadia, Big Jim’s Roast Beef, Ponto Lago at the Park Hyatt Aviara, Matsu, Moto Deli, Valentina, MRKT Space, Kai Ola, and Pedro’s Fish Taco’s. As I wind this one down, it occurred to me that I’m just scratching the surface — there are dozens more stories that wrote themselves. A trend you may have noticed through all this is the variety, the lowbrow to highbrow and everything in-between content that makes me love writing this column and sharing my discoveries, both new and old. And as always, a big thanks to The Coast News for providing the platform.

County wine industry sales grow 19% in 2021 By CIty News Service
REGION — San Diego County winery sales saw a 19% increase last year over 2020, but sales have not yet rebounded to a pre-pandemic high, according to a report released April 13 by the San Diego County Vintners Association. According to the report, county wineries realized about $44.1 million in gross sales in 2021, a little short of the local winery industry’s all-time- high of sales in 2019 — $46.2 million. The number of active wineries in San Diego County also rose to 160 in 2021. “San Diego wineries and vineyards are harvesting higher quality grapes, creating award-winning wines, and expanding the ways in which people can enjoy wine with more outdoor patios and tasting experiences than ever before,” said Ray Schnorr, Vintners Association president and co-owner of Highland Valley Vineyards in
Escondido. According to the report, 1,370 acres of vines were harvested in the region last year, producing 3,073 tons of wine grapes with a production value of $5.2 million. These figures are down from pre-pandemic 2019 when county vineyards harvested 3,596 tons of wine grapes, worth $5.58 million, with a sales price of $1,552 per ton, a record amount in the region. The report found 81% of growers reported excellent to good harvest quality, the strongest since 2016. The top three varietals produced in the county last year retain their rankings from prior years — cabernet sauvignon, syrah and sangiovese, respectively, with grenache and merlot tied for fourth, and chardonnay and petite syrah tied for fifth. Last year marked the first time that a white wine has appeared in the top five for regional varietals.

20 CRIME RATE CONTINUED FROM 10
numbers but it’s one of the realities we live with is that there are criminal elements in our community, and frankly some of it is because of the affluence of our community. You have crime sprees with gangs that have identified this area as target-rich, and so as a city, we’ve been working to address that.” Kranz also pointed out that while the numbers seem grim, the overall crime rate in the city has still declined over larger spans of time. “You look at these graphs on crime and they go up and down, and the reality is that 20 years ago these numbers were much, much higher, so we’ve really made improvements,” Kranz said. “There are people who are unhappy with our city that are pointing to this as evidence that we’re doing something wrong. But the reality is that we’ve spent millions on police enforcement and we have a really strong team of deputies out there working to reduce crime, and I think they’ve been doing a great job. But nonetheless, these issues will always be with us.” Cid Martinez, an associate professor who researches crime reduction, community policing, and gang violence, at the University of San Diego, disagreed with Lopez and Kranz about the impact of state policies such as Prop 47 on Encinitas. Rather, Martinez ar-
T he C oast News gued the recent rise in crime is largely tied to desperate socioeconomic conditions more than anything else. “Not a whole lot of research shows that these propositions at the state level are directly related to increases in crime,” Martinez said. “Research done by UCI’s criminology department for instance shows that there’s actually very little evidence that state policies are responsible for increases in crime in California. “Instead, this state is under a lot of duress and it’s not a coincidence that crime spikes significantly right after the pandemic. So for Encinitas, I would say that this is more attributable to economic and social conditions rather than state policy.”
Leadership criticized
Some community members argued that city leaders need to take more accountability when it comes to issues of public safety in Encinitas. Cindy Cremona, a local business owner and mayoral candidate, said most Encinitas residents, the numbers in the SANDAG report were unsurprising given the current state of city government. “In my mind, this [report] confirms what residents have been saying and have been concerned about for the last two years,” Cremona said. “I think that the residents do have doubts and questions about current leadership, and it’s the rea-
son why I’m running. City leadership needs to be more transparent and more forthcoming” According to Cremona, to reduce crime, the city needs to develop a better relationship with its law enforcement partners while earning back the trust of citizens whose confidence has been eroded by the policies of the current city government, Cremona added.
Jeff Morris, also running for mayor, said the rise in crime can be attributed to the city’s deleterious policies on homelessness. In particular, Morris took issue with the city’s decision to provide hotel vouchers to the homeless during the pandemic. The majority of those taking advantage of this program have been out-oftown transients, who have
The property crime rate for the San Diego region increased 9% in 2021, but was still the second lowest in 42 years. Summary from SANDAG report
“I think that the mayor and city government can better support the sheriff with resources, making sure they have what they need to do their jobs and be proactive against these crime waves and where we’re targeting our efforts,” Cremona said. “And you have to be proactive and not just reactive. A great relationship with the local sheriff’s department is really critical, and so is keeping on top of what’s happening and reassuring residents. “I think that for residents in Encinitas, communication from local government about such matters is so important, just that residents hear from their leadership and see and understand what their leaders are accomplishing.”
driven the city’s subsequent crime wave, Morris argues. “This happened because the mayor brought the homeless to our community and didn’t properly take care of them,” Morris said. “When she brought them in and filled our hotels with the homeless, she didn’t have a plan for them. This wasn’t something that was unexpected. With homelessness and crime, there’s a correlation, the more homeless you have, the more crime you have. “I believe that this [report] shows that our leaders are unfit to govern and lack the capacity to protect the community as well as the homeless,” Morris continued. “They knew that their actions of filling our town with other cities’ homeless

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office 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, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the
public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call the phone number shown below in bold, using the Reference number assigned to this case on SHOWN ABOVE. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Notice, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid assessments secured by said Notice with interest thereon as provided in said Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Notice of Assessment and Claim of Lien.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF PAUL ARCHIE RUSSELL Case# 37-2022-00010332PR-LA-CTL To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Paul Archie Russell. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Daniel Orville Russell, in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego. The Petition for Probate requests that Daniel Orville Russell be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: July 5, 2022; Time: 11:00 AM; in Dept.: 504. Court address: 1100 Union St., San Diego CA 92101, Central Courthouse. Appearances may be made in person in the department; or by using the department’s Microsoft Teams (“MSTeams”) video link; or by calling the department’s MSTeams conference phone number and using the assigned conference ID number. The department’s in person instructions, MSTeams video conference link, MS Teams conference phone number, and assigned conference ID number can be found at www.sdcourt.ca.gov/ ProbateVirtualHearings. Plan to check 15 minutes prior to the scheduled hearing time. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

APRIL 22, 2022
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Temper your typical Aries urge to charge into a situation and demand answers. Instead, let the Lamb’s gentler self emerge to deal with a problem that requires delicacy. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You are aware of what’s going on, so continue to stand by your earlier decision, no matter how persuasive the counterarguments might be. Money pressures soon will ease. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) By all means, have fun and enjoy your newly expanded social life. But don’t forget that some people are depending on you to keep promises that are very important to them. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You need to wait patiently for an answer to a workplace problem and not push for a decision. Remember: Time is on your side. A financial matter needs closer attention. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You now have information that can influence that decision you planned to make. But the clever Cat will consult a trusted friend or family member before making a major move. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Good news: You’re finding that more doors are opening for you to show what you can do, and you don’t even have to knock very hard to get the attention you’re seeking.
TRIVIA TEST ANSWERS
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your gift for creating order out of chaos will help you deal with a sudden rush of responsibilities that would threaten someone less able to balance his or her priorities. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Congratulations. Your energy levels are coming right back up to normal — just in time to help you tackle some worthwhile challenges and make some important choices. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) The sage Sagittarian should demand a full explanation of inconsistencies that might be cropping up in what had seemed to be a straightforward deal. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A conflict between obligations to family and to the job can create stressful problems. Best advice: Balance your dual priorities so that one doesn’t outweigh the other. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t guess, speculate or gossip about that “mystery” situation at the workplace. Bide your time. An explanation will be forthcoming very soon. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Boredom might be creeping in and causing you to lose interest in a repeat project. Deal with it by flipping over your usual routine and finding a new way to do an old task. BORN THIS WEEK: You can warm the coldest heart with your lyrical voice and bright smile. You find yourself at home, wherever you are. © 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.
