Trustee sues over ballot tag

Allman claims rival’s ‘educator’ title deceptive

By Laura Place

ENCINITAS — A new lawsuit claims that North County school board candidate Kevin Sabellico used a misleading ballot designation by defining himself as an “educator/board member” and demands that the San Diego County Registrar of Voters reject this designation ahead of the November election.

Trustee Michael Allman, an incumbent San Dieguito Union High School District board member, filed the lawsuit on Monday against Sabellico, his opponent in the Area 4 race in the November election. The complaint also names San Diego County Registrar of Voters Cynthia L. Paes.

A ballot designation is a short description of a candidate’s principal profession, vocation or occupation that appears beneath their name on the ballot. California Election Code defines a “principal” profession as being the “primary, main or leading professional, vocational or occupational endeavors of the candidate.”

Community members have until Aug. 19 to file a legal challenge to any candidate’s ballot designation or candidate statement. All challenges must be resolved by Aug. 30, according to the county registrar’s office.

Allman’s lawsuit states that Sabellico’s designation as an “educator” is misleading to voters, especially as Sabellico’s income is mainly earned from work as a political campaign consultant.

“Sabellico’s use of ‘Educator’ is an attempt to mislead voters into believing that he currently is or has recently earned a living in the field of education — i.e., as a teacher, professor, or administrator of a school — when, in fact, all of his reported income derives from his activities as a political campaign consultant,” the complaint states.

Sabellico is best known for his work on several political campaigns, including

ENCINITAS

— A burglary suspect led deputies on a brief but wild chase through Encinitas on Aug. 20, crashing his vehicle into five others — including two patrol cars — before making a failed attempt to get away onfoot.

The pursuit began shortly after 9 a.m., when deputies investigating a report of a prowler at a home in the 600 block of Fourth Street, between E and F streets, saw a man exit the residence, get into a car and drive off, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.

For about 10 minutes, the suspect — later identified as 31-year-old Dominic Ferrara — fled from deputies, allegedly

crashing his vehicle into two parked cars, ramming two patrol cruisers and getting into a collision on southbound Interstate 5 near La Costa Avenue, sheriff’s Lt. Zheath Sanchez said.

Following the final crash, the suspect allegedly jumped out of his car and ran off into a neighborhood near the 500 block of Rockport Court in Encinitas, near Interstate 5. Deputies fanned out through the area and were able to get Ferrara into custody without incident in short order, the lieutenant said.

The suspect was expected to face charges of burglary, reckless evasion of peace officers, assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism.

A rare bee has been spotted in San Diego County following a three-year absence of observations, officials announced this week.

According to the National Parks Service, in early September 2020, a population of Anthophora urbana clementina (San Clemente Digger Bee), known to only be on San Clemente Island, was discovered at Cabrillo National Monument.

The San Clemente Digger Bee is a subspecies of Anthophora urbana native to the southernmost Channel Island.Since the beginning of the surveys in March 2021, nearly 3,200 observations of native bees have been made on iNaturalist.org.

Candidates seek trio of Encinitas council seats

By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS — Local

voters will decide on Nov. 5 who will occupy two City Council seats and the mayor’s office, with candidates offering diverse platforms on key issues that resonate with residents, business owners and public officials.

Incumbent Mayor Tony Kranz and Councilmember Bruce Ehlers are running for the mayor's office. Deputy Mayor Allison Blackwell and Encinitas native, military veteran and high school coach Luke Shaffer are running for the District 1 seat. Encinitas residents and business owners Jim O’Hara and Destiny Preston are seeking the District 2 council seat.

Encinitas voters will also consider a ballot measure proposing a 1% sales tax hike to “provide locally-controlled funding” for municipal services, like infrastructure and environmental facilities.

Mayor Tony Kranz

Elected to office in 2022, Kranz said in an interview with The Coast News that he has focused on public safety, affordable housing and improving infrastructure. He has spearheaded projects like the Streetscape initiative, the purchase of Surfer’s Point, stormwater drainage improvements and the new Pacific View Arts Center.

Kranz also said he has tried to prioritize balancing the impacts of major development projects with maintaining local control.

“First of all, you have to do your best to mitigate the impacts of these developments,” Kranz said. “Those impacts are real, and the ability to get the developer to make improvements around the city is really lim-

ited.”

Kranz said that ongoing and planned infrastructure projects, including stormwater drainage systems in Leucadia, traffic safety measures and rail crossings, have been central to combating the effects of increasing development.

Kranz also reiterated the importance of complying with state housing laws to avoid costly legal battles, reflecting on past experiences where the city faced expensive litigation for opposing state mandates. Instead, Kranz said he supported the ballot measure proposing a 1% sales tax hike to pay for infrastructure upgrades.

“Forty percent of what we will receive from the new sales tax is likely to be from visitors,” he said. “That gives visitors the opportunity to contribute to the infrastructure that we have to maintain in order to make a visit to our community

something they can enjoy.”

Kranz said environmental preservation and social justice are two other critical priorities. These include ensuring that the city’s development aligns with sustainability goals while supporting local businesses and creating public spaces like the new neighborhood park in Leucadia.

Bruce Ehlers

Ehlers, a council member since 2022 and former chairman of the city’s Planning Commission, said that if elected mayor, his key priorities include focusing on basic infrastructure such as pavement maintenance, storm drain rehabilitation and addressing flooding issues in Leucadia. He said the city has neglected these issues, leading to declining infrastructure quality and high maintenance costs.

“Basic infrastructure first, then beautification

and vanity projects,” Ehlers said. “We’ve neglected our pavement, storm drain rehabilitation and Leucadia flooding for too long.”

Ehlers, principal author of the voter-backed Proposition A, expressed opposition to what he said is excessive development in Encinitas, emphasizing his long history of challenging developers who, in his view, prioritize profit over the community’s well-being.

Ehlers also criticized the state’s inability to differentiate between good and bad development projects, mentioning the Goodson project as an example of poor planning.

According to Ehlers, Prop A, a 2013 ballot initiative providing voters the final say on major zoning and density changes, is crucial for maintaining local control over land use and preventing speculative development that could drive

up land prices and alter the community’s character.

“I’m committed to wrestling back control of our land use ordinances from the state and defending Proposition A,” he said. “It’s essential to preserving the character of our community.”

During a public forum on Aug. 13, Ehlers said he opposed the 1% sales tax hike, saying the tax would significantly burden residents.

“At a time when we’ve had double-digit increases in our sewer and water rates, we’ve got almost double-digit inflation. The bottom line is we shouldn’t be doing it now,” said Ehlers regarding the tax hike. “We should look and wait and see where the economy goes and not have fixed-income people and lower-income people pay more.”

District 1

Allison Blackwell

Appointed to the District 1 seat in Jan. 2023 after Kranz was elected mayor, Blackwell said in an interview that during her tenure and campaign, she has focused on tackling key issues like aging infrastructure, affordable housing and homelessness.

“Infrastructure is a big deal in Encinitas,” Blackwell said. “We’ve got things from drainage, which we’re making some headway on, but it’s very expensive overall.”

She said there is a critical need to address both aging infrastructure inherited from the county and the gaps caused by new housing developments. Blackwell highlighted mobility improvements, road paving and safe rail crossings, especially in areas north of Leucadia Boulevard.

Blackwell said the city needs practical housing solutions to maintain its diverse economic base while addressing the challenges posed by state housing mandates.

“Affordable housing is about more than just compliance with state mandates,” Blackwell said. “It’s about ensuring we have a diverse economic base, where people from all walks of life can live and enjoy the community.”

As part of her tenure, she said she worked to create the Affordable Housing Task Force to explore new opportunities and innovative solutions to address housing concerns. On the other hand, she said homelessness is a humanitarian crisis and believes in addressing the root causes rather than merely enforc-

How to keep teachers from leaving their jobs

By Emily McGinnis

There’s never been a more stressful time to be a teacher. I say that as someone who worked in K-12 schools for more than 20 years, first as a teacher and then as a principal.

Educators enter the profession out of a passion for teaching and helping kids. But today, they’re leaving in droves. Between 2020 and 2022, about 300,000 public school teachers and staff quit. K-12 teachers have the highest burnout rate of any profession. Nearly a third are considering leaving the profession.

For the sake of the next generation, school districts and local governments need to figure out how to keep teachers in classrooms. Improved salaries would help — teachers are underpaid. But even that wouldn’t entirely solve the problem.

We need to turn schools back into places where teachers want to be. Many of these institutions are no longer havens for learning.

Pressure on teachers has mounted over the years as society has made them scapegoats in cultural and political battles. They face unprecedented criticism from parents and governmental officials.

Stressors are also increasing inside. Schools are growing more violent. Since the pandemic, 38% of K-12 schools have seen an increase in physical violence between students, 45% have seen an increase in threats, and 37% report an increase in bullying.

The teacher shortage, along with staff cuts, force those who remain to take on more responsibilities — supervising morning drop-off, recess or afterschool programs.

Most teachers can’t afford to spend more time on the job. Already, more

K-12 teachers have the highest burnout rate of any profession. Nearly a third are considering leaving the profession.

than 80% of teachers have worked a second job to help make ends meet.

Burnout is a downward spiral. It drives teachers away, which increases the workload — and burnout — of those who stay.

Of course, the elephant in the classroom is money. Local and state governments must allocate more funding to their public schools.

Instead, states like Connecticut and Utah are slashing education budgets. Tennessee, South Carolina, and Oklahoma are considering rejecting billions in federal education funding. Nearly $200 billion in Covid-era federal aid is set to expire soon.

In Texas, lawmakers failed to approve teacher pay increases despite a $38.7 billion surplus.

We need to increase school funding to retain and attract more teachers. But how we go about using funds is just as important. Schools should prioritize hiring assistant teachers and tutoring services.

Even schools dealing with budget cuts can make changes to support their teachers. For instance,

Anti-crime feud mostly avoidable

This fall’s campaign over the anti-crime Proposition 36 now promises to be one of the more expensive and unnecessary ballot measure campaigns California has seen, as avid supporters of the 2014 Proposition 47 battle to keep it alive in more than just name.

It's a political fight that could have been avoided fairly easily by Gov. Gavin Newsom and the several district attorneys and big box store chains behind the new ballot initiative.

They could have (should have) used a decade-old process letting initiative sponsors reach agreements with legislators who have opposed their measures, leading to new compromise laws and then withdrawal of the initiatives involved.

The clear-cut conflict between Newsom and liberal Democrats who dominate the Legislature and the sponsors of Prop. 36, who called their measure the Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act (even though its link to homelessness is unclear) was always plain: Newsom’s side sees Prop. 47 as largely successful in reducing repeat crimes and treating the drug addictions that motivate many offenses.

But much of law enforcement views Prop. 47 as an abject failure that’s caused more crime by reducing many former felony offenses to misdemeanors and setting $950 as the lower limit for the value of felony thefts.

laws allowing felony prosecutions on the third theft offense, regardless of value.

The new laws also let judges impose restraining orders preventing “minor” thieves from revisiting stores they’ve shoplifted, while eliminating time limits for prosecution of organized retail thievery like last year’s well publicized smash-and-grab burglaries of major retail stores. This lets the governor and his legislative allies claim they’ve solved the Prop. 47-related problems that led large companies like Walmart, Walgreens and Nordstrom to close multiple California stores in part because of major losses from thefts enabled by Prop. 47.

But the laws they passed are not as tough as Prop. 36, with its extreme emphasis on shoplifting offenses. Still, some lawmakers who voted against the Newsom-linked package maintained its increased emphasis on repeat thievery will increase mass jailings of minorities.

“These measures deepen mass incarceration and (that) is going in reverse of where Californians (wanted to go via Prop. 47),” said Democratic state Sen. Lola Smallwood-Cuevas of Los Angeles.

administrators can show teachers they value their expertise by standing behind their decisions when dealing with quarrelsome parents.

It also makes a difference to respect their time. When I was a teacher, I’d often be up by 5 a.m., at school by 6:30 a.m., and home at 6 p.m., all while juggling family responsibilities — and preparing the next day’s lesson on my own time.

It doesn’t cost any money to have administrative staff take turns covering morning drop-off or lunch supervision. As a principal, I provided teachers with meals donated by local restaurants, freeing up time after work so they could enjoy dinner at home with their families.

If we care about children, we have to nurture their teachers. Too many have lost the joy of educating. By respecting their time and improving their workplaces, we can bring that joy back.

Emily McGinnis is a former educator and principal. This piece originally ran in the Dallas Morning News.

Never mind, they say, official statistics that suggest most crime levels are now near all-time lows.

The get-tough side in this dispute had no problem gathering more than 600,000 voter signatures to qualify its plan for the ballot.

It would allow prosecutors to aggregate the value of goods an accused has stolen and conduct a felony prosecution when the total goes over the $950 limit. It would also crack down hard on fentanyl users, dealers and illicit manufacturers.

The obvious compromise could have been to aggregate the take from thefts by individuals, but leave all the anti-drug addiction benefits of Prop. 47 intact.

Such a deal would have restored some crimes reduced by Prop. 47 from felonies back to that status, including things like burglary of stores during business hours and forgery. At the same time, a compromise could have left things like drug possession and writing bad checks as misdemeanors.

But there was no attempt at compromise. Rather, under pressure from Newsom, legislators passed a package of new

Her statement added that, “Increased criminalization too often falls on the backs of Black and Latino Californians.”

Other Democrats opposed the bill package because it creates two new crimes they say are already covered under existing laws: breaking into a vehicle with intent to steal and possessing property stolen from a vehicle with intent to sell it.

If it looks like the conflicts between the new bill package and Prop. 36 seem fairly small, with both aiming at alleged flaws in Prop. 47, that’s because they are. That’s also why it was plain from the moment Prop. 36 qualified for the ballot that it would essentially be unneeded if legislators passed new laws accomplishing many of its aims. They’ve now done that. Which means voters will be wasting their time and psychic energy if they get very caught up in the upcoming ballot measure fight.

The basic reality is that most of this exercise and expense could and should have been avoided.

Oceanside voters to decide mayor, Measure X

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— This November election is stacked for Oceanside voters, who will decide on the city’s next mayor, two council seats, two school board trustees, city treasurer, city clerk and a ballot measure determining whether to extend Measure X, a half-cent sales tax another decade.

Mayor

Incumbent Mayor Esther Sanchez will face Deputy Mayor Ryan Keim, who will forgo running for his current District 3 for a shot at the mayor’s seat.

Sanchez has been on the City Council since 2000, serving for 20 years before she was elected mayor in 2020. She is the first woman and first Latina to be elected Oceanside mayor.

On her campaign website, Sanchez states she has taken the lead on creating more parks along with the El Corazon Senior Center and Aquatics Center and was behind saving Goat Hill Park Golf Club, Oceanside Public Library and the Brooks Street Pool from cuts and closures. She has also expanded affordable housing and protected rent control for seniors and veterans.

“We must implement our Climate Action Plan, address traffic and parking issues, become bicycle-friendly, and embrace agri-tourism/preserve our agricultural lands,” Sanchez

states. “We must shelter our unsheltered, create employment centers, address food insecurities and meet affordable/workforce housing needs.”

Keim was first appointed to the City Council in 2019 during the council’s transition from at-large seats to district elections. In 2020, the former Oceanside police officer was elected to represent District 3. In an interview with The Coast News last year, Keim said his top three priorities include addressing homelessness and crime, fixing the city’s disappearing beaches, and unifying the city in its fight to maintain local zoning and housing control.

“For so long, we have

taken a back seat to these critical issues… we cannot let up, we have to have advocacy and strong leadership,” Keim said last year.

Sanchez has raised $30,281 between Jan. 1 and June 30, with backers including $500 from Yasukochi Family Farms, another $500 from Donal Yasukochi of Oceanside, $1,000 from Margaret Matthews of Oceanside, $1,000 from Rena Marrocco of Vista, $700 from Sally Haggerty of Oceanside and $400 from Let Oceanside Vote, among others.

Keim has outpaced Sanchez with $51,921.76 raised so far, with contributions including $5,500 from the Infrastructure PAC of the Associate Gener-

IT’S NOW OR NEXT

al Contractors of San Diego, $4,000 from Cheryl Stewart of Oceanside, $2,000 each from Lisa Evans and Tom Evans of Evans Farm in Oceanside, and $1,500 from Tom Aldrich of The Brick Hotel in Oceanside. Yasukochi also donated $300 to Keim’s campaign.

Overall, between 2023 and 2024, Keim has raised $92,008.44 and Sanchez has raised $42,681.

District 3

Four candidates are vying for the District 3 council seat: Jimmy Figueroa, Tom DeMooy, Laura Bassett and Austin Sorensen.

Figueroa is the donor relations manager for TrueCare, a local healthcare clinic, and the former executive

director of Operation HopeNorth County, a homeless shelter for single women and families. He grew up in the Tri-City neighborhood and has lived in District 3 for over 30 years.

According to his website, Figueroa prioritizes addressing homelessness and creating more affordable housing options, improving public safety with more prevention-based resources, supporting first responders and the police department’s current efforts serving the city under the 21st-century Community Policing model, economic stability, implementing the Climate Action Plan and preserving sandy beaches.

“I firmly believe that together, as a community, we possess the power to make lasting positive changes in our neighborhoods and create opportunities for all,” Figueroa states on his website.

DeMooy, another longtime District 3 resident of South Oceanside, has been active in the city’s Neighborhood Watch Program for several years. He also served as a MainStreet Oceanside board member, a Downtown Advisory Committee member, and a volunteer for the Oceanside Independence Day Parade.

According to his website, DeMooy is “dedicated to reducing crime, graffiti, disorder, and homelessness.”

Bassett, another

Oceanside lifer, is an independent real estate broker, a licensed professional fiduciary, and a local volunteer. She has assisted the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce with events, including Harbor Days and Operation Appreciation, and has been a long-time volunteer at the historic Star Theatre downtown.

Bassett hopes to improve the city’s local economy, preserve and enhance city beaches, acquire more housing for Oceanside families, improve public safety by supporting city police and firefighters, and maintain a balanced budget with wise spending of taxpayer dollars.

According to her website, Bassett’s “professional experience starting businesses and working as a fiduciary, along with her degree in accounting makes her uniquely qualified to handle budget issues and cutting waste without affecting Oceanside’s unique charm.”

Sorensen is a small business banker at U.S. Bank. The Coast News was unable to find other information regarding Sorensen at this time.

So far, Bassett has raised the most funds with $50,028.81 in contributions. Figueroa has raised $14,352.43, and DeMooy $650. Sorensen has not reported any campaign con-

Familiar candidates in Del Mar, Solana Beach

By Laura Place

Del Mar and Solana Beach will see some familiar faces running in council and school board races and the San Dieguito Union High School District board is facing a potential shift to a more conservative board.

Del Mar City Council (Top 3)

Del Mar voters will be asked to select three individuals to serve on the Del Mar City Council and three to fill seats on the Del Mar Union School District board of trustees.

Del Mar council members and school board members are all elected at large rather than by district, which is common in most other cities.

Del Mar’s council race will be fairly straightforward, with three candidates running for three open general seats. Incumbents Tra-

cy Martinez and Dan Quirk are running for re-election alongside new candidate John Spelich, while incumbent and current mayor Dave Druker is retiring after nearly 21 years on the council and is not seeking re-election.

Both Martinez and Quirk were elected in 2020 and are seeking their second four-year terms.

Del Mar Union

In the Del Mar Union School District, two incumbents and four challengers are running for three open school board seats. Trustees Gee Wah Mok and Alan Kholos will both be on the ballot, and Trustee Erica Halpern is not seeking re-election.

Challengers include parents Danielle Roybal and Genevieve Goldstone, retired teacher William Porter III, and Del Mar Schools Education Founda-

tion Vice President Helen Doyle.

Like the city of Del Mar, the Del Mar Union School District holds at-large elections rather than electing board members by area. In this election, the top three vote-getters will be elected to the board.

Kholos will seek election after being appointed to the board in 2023 due to former trustee Scott Wooden’s resignation. While the term for that seat technically lasts until 2026, the election code states that an appointee can only serve until the next regularly scheduled election, which is the upcoming 2024 election.

Mok has been on the board since 2019 and is seeking his third term. Halpern is retiring after serving on the board since 2015.

SDUHSD

Five candidates are

running for two open seats on the San Dieguito Union High School District board of trustees, a race that could change the board's balance.

Incumbent Michael Allman is running for re-election to his Area 4 seat, representing Rancho Santa Fe and parts of Carmel Valley, against former Carlsbad Planning Commissioner and political consultant Kevin Sabellico.

Current Area 2 Trustee Katrina Young is not seeking re-election. Jodie Williams, currently a trustee on the Encinitas Union High School District board, and parent Kelly Friis are both running for the SDUHSD Area 2 seat, which covers La Costa Canyon, La Costa Oaks South and Rancho Ponderosa.

While school boards are supposed to be nonpartisan, San Dieguito’s board has been split along hard party lines in recent years.

Young, along with trustees

Jane Lea Smith and Rimga Viskanta, currently make up a Democratic majority on the board, while Allman and Trustee Phan Anderson are in the minority.

Solana Beach

City Council

All three incumbent Solana Beach City Council members whose seats are up for election are running unopposed in November. This includes Mayor Lesa Heebner, District 1 Councilmember Dave Zito and District 3 Councilmember Jewel Edson.

Heebner is seeking her second term as mayor after winning the city’s first-ever mayoral election in 2020. She previously served 13 years on the City Council.

Zito has served on the City Council since 2012 and is seeking his fourth term. Edson is running for her third term, having been on

Three individuals are also running for three open seats. These include Area 2 incumbent Dana King, Area 3 appointee Katie Suel and challenger Tanya Koshy.

King has been on the school board since 2020 and is running unopposed for his second term for Area 2, which includes Santa Helena and Solana Vista Elementary School. Suel was appointed to the board in 2023 to fill the seat for Area 3, which includes Carmel Valley and parts of Rancho Santa Fe, as well as Solana Santa Fe and Solana Highlands elementary schools. She is also running unopposed.

Koshy, a district parent and business owner, is running unopposed for the Area 5 seat. Incumbent Julie Union is not seeking re-election.

HUD change a win for vets

By City News Service

ENCINITAS — Veterans at risk of homelessness have expanded access today to rental assistance and affordable housing programs thanks to changes by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Rep. Mike Levin, D-Dana Point, announced the changes this week, which end HUD’s practice of counting veterans’ disability benefits as income for the purposes of rental assistance.

United States. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs’ point-in- time count from January 2023, there were nearly 11,000 homeless veterans in California. As of the January 2024 point-in-time count, there were 865 homeless veterans in San Diego County.

Before HUD’s changes, service-connected disability benefits were counted as income when determining eligibility for housing assistance -- causing some veterans to exceed the income eligibility threshold for housing programs.

“I was called to serve my country after September 11th and when I came home from Iraq, I was not the same,’’ said Isaac Estevez, U.S. Army veteran. “My PTSD caused me to fall into homelessness, substance abuse and I committed crimes just to survive. Then I connected with the VA and PATH, and thanks to HUD-VASH, I was provided the support I needed to achieve sobriety and get connected to housing.

“These policy changes will make a tremendous impact in getting homeless veterans off the streets and into affordable housing units for a stable future,’’ Levin said. “We know that having a stable home produces better life outcomes and our veterans deserve nothing less.

“Now, veterans will not have their disability benefits held against them when applying for rental assistance. I thank HUD for acting and heeding my call to do more to help homeless veterans. Our nation’s heroes should never go hungry, unemployed or without a place to call home.’’

California is home to around one-third of all homeless veterans in the

“Our PATH teams frequently encounter veterans who must be turned away because they have too much income from their service-connected disability benefits to qualify for lifesaving programs -- leaving some to choose between needed benefits and housing opportunities,’’ said Jonathan Castillo, chief regional officer of nonprofit PATH, or People Assisting the Homeless.

“Thankfully, this policy shift will allow more veterans not only in San Diego County, but across the country, to get connected to housing and supportive services.’’

According to Levin’s office, going forward, veterans will not be denied admission to supportive housing subsidized by HUD due to their service- connected disability benefits.

“The HUD changes announced today will help more Veterans like me find the support and stability they deserve,’’ he said.

In Dec. 2022, Levin sent a letter to HUD and the Office of Management and Budget requesting implementing the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 include language excluding veteran disability compensation from income calculations for the purposes of HUD programs.

While it was not including in the final rule published in Feb. 2023, Levin continued to advocate for the change. In May 2024, Levin and Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Sherman Oaks, introduced the Housing Unhoused Disabled Veterans Act, a bipartisan bill to exclude disability compensation and pension benefits received by a veteran from HUD’s definition of income for the purposes of housing assistance.

Newcomers aim for Vista shakeup

By Laura Place

VISTA — Competitive races are shaping up for two seats on the Vista City Council.

District 3 Councilmember Katie Melendez will run against challenger Denisse Barragan, and two newcomers will throw their hats in the ring for the District 2 seat that will be vacated by Councilmember Joe Green.

Melendez, who currently serves as Deputy Mayor, is seeking her second term to represent District 3, which includes Breeze Hill, West Vista Village, Melrose and Grapevine. Her opponent, Barragan, is a local business owner.

In District 2, which includes the Vista Civic Center, Vista Valley, and the Main Street area of downtown Vista, Marine veteran and activist Anthony White is running against business owner Jeffrey Fox.

Green, who has been on the City Council since 2016, is not seeking re-election.

Vista Unified

Seven candidates are running for three open seats on the Vista Unified School District Board of Trustees.

Area 4 Trustee Cipriano Vargas is the only incumbent running for another term in 2024, with trustees Rosemary Smithfield and Julie Kelly not seeking re-election. Elected in 2016, Vargas is running against Frank Nuñez and nonprofit director and parent Zulema Gomez to represent central Vista.

Parent and PTA leader Amanda Remmen and parent Michael Markov are running for the Area 1 seat, currently held by Smithfield, representing northern Vista and parts of Oceanside. Retired teacher Susan Martin and business owner Anthony “TJ” Crossman are running for Kelly’s Area 5 seat, representing Ocean Hills, Buena Vista and Shadowridge.

San Marcos City Council

Two seats are up for election on the San Marcos City Council this November, with just one incumbent coming back for a shot at another term and several newcomers throwing their hat in the ring.

District 4 incumbent Ed Musgrove is seeking his second four-year term and is challenged by Natasha Zander Hilmes. District 4 encompasses northern San Marcos, including Richland, Santa Fe Hills, and Palomar College.

District 3 Councilmember and Deputy Mayor Sharon Jenkins has served on the council since 2012 and will retire at the end of her term. Attorneys Alan Geraci and Danielle LeBlang are seeking her District 3 seat, which represents Cal State San Marcos, North City and the Creek District.

San Marcos Unified

Three incumbents on the San Marcos Unified School District board of trustees are each facing a challenger in their re-election bids this November

In the Area A race, which represents the district’s southwest area, including portions of Carlsbad, incumbent Carlos Ulloa is running for re-election against parent and business owner Heidi Herrick.

The Area B race, representing San Elijo Hills, Discovery Hills and Lake San Marcos, includes incumbent Sarah Ahmad and small business manager Brittany Bower, and Area D incumbent Jaime Chamberlin is running against parent and business owner Lena Lauer Meum.

Ulloa, Chamberlin and Ahmad were all elected in 2020 and are running for their second term on the board.

Shin, Collins vie for D2 seat

By Samantha Nelson CARLSBAD

— Voters will decide on two council seats, two school board trustees, the city treasurer and a ballot measure during the November election.

In District 2, the city’s largest district by land area, business owner and fire captain Kevin Shin faces off against Tyler Collins, a fellow businessman and current chair of the Carlsbad Housing Commission.

Former San Dieguito school board member Maureen “Mo” Muir will not be running for the D2 seat in this year’s election.

Since appointee Councilmember Carolyn Luna can't run, this year's election guarantees either Shin or Collins, both political newcomers, to the District 2 seat.

District 2 encompasses Tamarack Point, Calavera Hills, Robertson Ranch, Rancho Carlsbad, Carlsbad Ranch, Bressi Ranch, Kelly Ranch, and parts of La Costa Greens, Rancho Carrillo and Poinsettia.

In an interview with The Coast News last September, Shin emphasized public safety and addressing homelessness as his top priorities.

“I understand viscerally what the homeless issues are,” he said last year. “As a fire captain, I’m the one responding the vast majority of the time to calls, and I know how it feels as a business owner. It’s going to take a comprehensive approach to be able to find solutions.”

Similarly, Collins lists public safety as a top concern. On his campaign website, he pledges to keep the police department “properly funded” and maintain city parks, keep streets clean, roads paved, and utilities working — all while spending taxpayer money responsibly.

“I also promise NOT to raise taxes,” Collins states on his website.

Shin’s campaign raised $18,839.15 between Jan. 1 and June 30,. Collins did not report any contributions during the same period.

In District 4, covering Carlsbad’s southern boundary with Encinitas, voters will choose between incumbent Councilmember Teresa Acosta, a businesswoman and former professor, and Greg Day, an airline pilot and Marine combat veteran.

Elected four years ago, Acosta aims to continue working on her top three priority areas: sustainability, affordability, and public safety.

“While I am excited about what we have accomplished in my first term, there is still work to do to improve our community,” Acosta states on her campaign website.

Day identifies public safety, the environment, and homelessness as his primary concerns, promising to bring “common sense solutions.”

“Now more than ever, we need representatives who will make common

sense decisions based on law and order, and the best interests of the residents of Carlsbad,” Day states on his website. “We need leadership that will focus the attention of the city on logical solutions for local problems and not focus on appeasing and fulfilling the agenda of special interest groups.”

Acosta has so far raised $20,411, while Day has raised $17,712.64.

Four candidates have qualified to fill the partial term of city treasurer: Gregorio Kahn, Michael Wil-

liams, Christian Peacox, and Thomas Krouse Jr.

The elected candidate will complete the remaining four-year term that began in November 2022, when City Treasurer Craig Lindholm was last re-elected. Lindholm announced his retirement earlier this year.

Voters will also decide on Measure B, which seeks to update Proposition H, a voter-approved initiative that prohibits the city from spending more than $1 million on certain projects without voter approval. If

passed, the update would raise the minimum spending amount to $3.09 million, with annual increases based on the regional consumer price index. The Carlsbad Unified school board will also have new representatives. Jen Belnap, a Parent Teacher Association board member, will face teacher and parent Alison Emery in Area 2. Laura Siaosi, a parent and volunteer, will compete against PTA secretary and businesswoman Ejehan Turker.

San Dieguito Believes in the Power of Community

Supporting and promoting the needs of local businesses

Jasmine Singh is the Events & Marketing Coordinator for the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce and plans all things events related, including the Chamber’s upcoming Oktoberfest on Sept. 29 and its 60th anniversary celebration Oct. 24 at the Institute of Contemporary Art, North.

honor outstanding businesses and individuals with awards, live music, a paella chef, and a live painting of the event. Our goal is to make every business feel valued as we celebrate this diamond milestone together.”

Born in New Dehli, India, Jasmine has called Encinitas home for the past 10 years. “I grew up in Orange County and always felt drawn to this area. My family took trips along the coast, and we’d rent a house in Encinitas during the summers. Those trips are fond memories and left me with a deep connection to this community.”

She brings this insight into her role for the Encinitas Chamber.

After graduating with a Sociology degree from UC Santa Cruz, Jasmine gained experience managing large events like Ohana Festival, Bhakti Fest, and nonprofit fundraisers. She also founded Nomad Eats, a Vegan food company.

“Recently I sold my business, a plant-based food pop-up and cheese sauce company. Running that business gave me firsthand insight into the challenges entrepreneurs face.”

“I’m passionate about creating experiences that bring our community together and spark joy. My love for hosting has evolved from intimate gatherings at home to organizing large-scale events like our upcoming Oktoberfest which will feature traditional German food and beer as well as a local headliner band, a new dog costume contest, and more.”

In her role, Jasmine also handles all of the Chamber’s social media. “We share everything from our Visit Encinitas popups to member spotlights, business specials, ribbon-cuttings and our upcoming mixers and events. Our goal is to empower and support local businesses, so you’ll see us promoting their latest offerings and celebrating their successes. Follow us @encinitaschamber to stay up to date on what’s happening around our city.”

Perfect day in Encinitas?

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

An inside look at North County’s upcoming prep football season

By Noah Perkins

With Friday night lights returning on Aug. 23, The Coast News traveled around North County to meet the coaches, players, and teams competing in the upcoming football season. Here’s what we learned:

La Costa Canyon (Avocado League)

Last Year: 5-6; 1-4 league play

Coach: Sean Sovacool

Key Returning Player: Quinn Roth, Jr, quarterback

Key Departing Player: Trevor Ladd, tight end Season Opener: 8/23 –at St. Augustine

Outlook 2024: La Costa Canyon opened last season hot, dropping 41 points in a win over University City. Going into October, the Mavericks were 5-1 behind an offense that scored 49 points in back-to-back games.

And then, the bottom fell out with four straight Avocado League losses.

Six-foot-four junior quarterback Quinn Roth was second-team all-league as a sophomore, throwing for 2400 yards and 20 touchdowns. Sovacool, in year 15, said of Roth, “he’s arguably the best quarterback I’ve ever coached at La Costa Canyon.” After an “on-fire summer,” expectations are high.

Coby Herman can line up both in the backfield and out wide and is as dangerous as they come with the ball

in his hands. Last season he tallied 800 all-purpose yards.

Tight end Nolan Keeping doubles as a soccer goalie and is a physical blocker with “great range.”

On the defensive side of the ball, junior linebacker Henry Mallory is, as Sovacool says, “a Silverback Gorilla.”

Only one returning starter on the offensive line could make pass and run protection a problem.

Fun Fact: La Costa Canyon alum David Quessenberry is a reserve offensive lineman for the Minnesota Vikings, head coached by another La Costa Canyon alum, Kevin O’Connell.

Quotable Notable: “It’s crazy – they [Quessenberry and O’Connell] are both great guys with very different stories to get there. It’s super exciting that several of our players are in and around the NFL.” – Former La Costa Canyon head coach Darrin Brown.

El Camino

(Avocado League)

Last year: 7-5; 2-3 league play

Coach: Michael Hobbs

Key Returning Player: Leonidas Bell, Sr, running back

Key Departing Player: Carson Howard, quarterback

Save the Date: 9/27 – at Oceanside

Outlook 2024: Questions abound for El Camino. Quarterback Carson How-

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR THE NORTH COASTAL VOLUNTEER SHERIFF’S PATROL

The North Coastal Sheriff’s Station is recruiting for its Volunteer Sheriff’s Patrol. This program involves:

• Conducting home vacation security checks

• Assisting with traffic control

• Patrolling neighborhoods, schools, parks, and shopping centers in patrol cars and on foot

• Visiting homebound seniors who live alone in the communities of Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar, and portions of the county’s unincorporated areas, such as Rancho Santa Fe

• Performing other duties as needed

The primary mission of the volunteers is to serve as an extra set of eyes and ears for the deputies on patrol. To be eligible, volunteers must be at least 50 years old, in good health, and have no significant mobility limitations. Volunteers must pass a background check, have auto insurance, and a valid California driver’s license. Training involves two weeks at the Sheriff’s Academy plus several in-field patrols. Volunteers must commit to four 6-hour shifts with a partner and attendance at one program meeting per month. If interested, please contact the Volunteer Sheriff’s Patrol at (760) 966 3579 to schedule an initial interview.

LAST SEASON, San Marcos High School then-junior Nofal

went unbeaten in conference play to

to take it further

ard graduated, along with him leading rusher Devin Cerda, leading receiver Ryan Speltz and leading scorer Ray Teale.

Senior running back Leonidas Bell, an explosive six-foot-one, two hundred pounds, who averaged over nine yards per carry — including a 75-yard dash last season — brings experience to an offense featuring several new faces.

Defensive returners include Kingston Faatili, Jake Williams, Caleb Reese and secondary ballhawk Qayden Coleman.

Quotable Notable: “Oceanside-El Camino is a rivalry. You want to beat those guys. A lot of trash talk is going on, and there are a lot of good players on the field. You see each other everywhere. We knew the same people and went to the same parties – played pickup basketball against each other. Any time you know people on the other team, it becomes a little more intense. We weren’t very good my years but we did beat

“Back in the day, you had to win your conference to go to the playoffs, which was much more difficult than it is now where everyone goes. We missed out because we could never win the Avocado League. We always had a lot of pride in football at Oceanside from the earlier players before the split off to El Camino. That rivalry with El Camino was fierce. We wanted to be the big dog in the city, but we grew up with everybody, so we all knew each other. We respected them, but the games got intense.” – Charles Dimry, Oceanside, class of 1984, 12year NFL Veteran.

Santa Fe Christian (Coastal League)

Last Year: 6-6; 5-1 league play

Coach: Jon Wallace

Key Returning Player: Connor Ashford Sawyer, Sr, tight end

Key Departing Player: Greyson Mundis, running back

Save the Date: 11/2 – at Bishop’s

and the

Oceanside.” – J.C. Pearson, El Camino class of 1982, 8-year NFL veteran.

Oceanside (Valley League)

Last Year: 7-5; 5-1 league play

Coach: Fale Poumele

Key Returning Player: Joesph Vinup, Sr, quarter-

back / wide receiver

Key Departing Player: Geordan Beamon, defensive end

Save the Date: 9/27 – El Camino

Outlook 2024: Reminiscent of 1990s NFL player ‘Slash’ Kordell Stewart, Oceanside senior Joesph Vinup does a little of everything. Last season, Vinup threw eight touchdowns, had 36 carries, and notched 20 catches.

Five-foot-six-inch junior running back Adrian Luna averaged nearly six yards per carry and is primed to take on a larger role in the offense with Georgie Nua graduated.

The defensive players responsible for 21.5 of 26.5 sacks last season are gone. Will the Pirates be able to generate enough of a pass rush to slow down opposing offenses?

Quotable Notable:

Outlook 2024: A quarterback battle has developed in Solana Beach this summer. Santa Fe Christian sophomores Dax Labrum, Brett Vermillion, and junior Hunter Coley are all in the mix to earn the starting job. The incumbent, two-year starter, senior Andrew Hidy, is currently dealing with an elbow issue.

The good news for the Eagles is continuity, only two contributors last season graduated.

“We had a young team last year, so as a small school, we are senior heavy,” head coach Jon Wallace said. “Their experience has shown up in camp. We were not a detail team last year. [The experience] helps us move faster, we can install quicker, teach more concepts.”

Unsung seniors Tyler Massey and Diego Morales play on the offensive and defensive lines and have been particularly strong at camp.

“They are killing it,” Wallace said of his anchors. “We have a good squad of guys and we are all bought in.”

“My first practice I had never played tackle football before, now it’s my favorite thing I do at school,” added Morales.

Senior tight end Connor Ashford Sawyer stretches the field and provides a safety blanket for an inexperienced quarterback.

“He’s one of the hardest workers in practice and is a big leader on the team,” Morales said.

Carlsbad (Avocado League)

Last Year: 10-1; 5-0 league play

Coach: Thadd Macneal

Key Returning Player: Tyler Prasuhn, Sr, kicker, punter

Key Departing Player: Julian Sayin, quarterback Season Opener: 8/23 –at Lakewood

Outlook 2024: Reigning Avocado League cham-

pions five years straight, Carlsbad didn’t just win last season; they dominated, outscoring opponents 424140, ripping off 10 straight wins before a 46-45 upset loss in overtime in the opening game of the playoffs against Granite Hills.

With eighty-six touchdown passes against 10 interceptions for his high school career, a five-star recruit Julian Sayin, now at Ohio State, is impossible to replace.

If that’s not difficult enough, the Lancers also graduated six-foot-five-inch jump ball extraordinaire Griffin Rosenbloom; leading receiver Josh Ball; leading rusher Mason Walsh; leading tackler Thomas McCormick; leading sack-man Jude McLellan.

The 2023 team was built for a championship but came up short. In 2024, a step backward seems likely.

Kicker-punter Tyler Prasuhn returns. Last season, he converted 57 of 58 PATs and landed eight punts inside the opposing 20-yard line.

Fun Fact: Lancer alums Brandon Chillar and Brett Swain overlapped with the Green Bay Packers from 2008-2010.

San Marcos (Palomar League)

Last Year: 9-3; 5-0 league play

Coach: Tom Carroll

Key Returning Player: Kreet Makihele, Jr, quarterback

Key Departing Player: Cayden Woolwine, tight end, linebacker

Save the Date: 11/1 –Del Norte

Outlook 2024: A broken collarbone sidelined then-sophomore quarterback Kreet Makihele for a month in the middle of the season. Bradley Jenkins played admirably in relief, helping guide the Knights to a Palomar League championship.

A healthy Makihele will be a big help for a San Marcos team that returns most of last season’s key skill players.

Leading rushers Tabari Lane and Ethan Martinez form a two-headed monster in the backfield.

Jase Nix, a dynamic senior receiver, came up nine yards short of the 1,000yard mark last season and is poised for another big year.

The offense is back nearly in full. The defense has been hit hard by roster turnover. Ten of the top 11 tacklers graduated.

San Marcos allowed only 172 points behind two shutouts. That will be difficult to repeat.

Fun Fact: Quarterbacks coach Mike Fouts is the nephew of legendary Chargers quarterback Dan Fouts.

Vista (Valley League)

Last Year: 1-9; 1-5 league play

Coach: David Fa’atu’iese

Key Returning Play-

er: Alden William Evans, Jr, tackle, nose guard

Key Departing Play-

er: Isaac Robinson, safety, wide receiver

Save the Date: 11/1 –Rancho Buena Vista

Outlook 2024: 1-9 last season, there were few bright spots for Vista, led by first-year head coach and Panther football alum David Fa’atu’iese. The team’s lone victory came against crosstown rival Rancho Buena Vista in the season’s closing game.

Junior Alden Wiliams Evans is enormous at sixfoot-six and north of 300 pounds. Keoki Beccera is adept at generating pressure on the quarterback from the edge rusher position.

Broc Schweikhard, a middle linebacker at only five feet nine inches, is a possible all-league player in 2024. He is undersized but pugnacious.

Rancho Buena Vista

(Valley League)

Last Year: 1-9; 1-5 league play

Coach: Terrance McKinnie

Key Returning Player: Pete Kinman, Jr, wide receiver, defensive back

Save the Date: 11/1 – at Vista

Outlook 2024: It was an ugly 1-9 season, with Rancho Buena Vista generating less than 10 points of offense per game. Most of last year’s key contributors return, providing continuity for a team that hasn’t won more than two league games in six years.

Senior running back and linebacker Caleb O’ray is everywhere on the field, and tackle Ruben Pulido provides a lot of bulk at 350 pounds.

Mission Hills

(Avocado League)

Last Year: 9-4; 3-2 league play

Coach: Chris Hauser

Key Returning Player: Troy Huhn, Jr, quarterback

Key Departing Player: Jayden Williams, wide receiver Season Opener: 8/23 –Granite Hills

Outlook 2024: A deep run in the 2023 playoffs ended in the Division I San Diego Section Championship game against St. Augustine.

Losing playmaker Jayden Williams hurts, but the Grizzlies are built to win in 2024.

Troy Huhn has the look of a lab-grown quarterback, and he gets a lot of help with Giovanni Harte lining up behind him in the backfield. Last season, Harte broke the 1,000-yard mark and found the endzone 13 times on the ground.

Senior tackle Liam Kline anchors the unit responsible for protecting Huhn and Harte.

Torrey Pines

(Valley League)

Last Year: 7-4; 4-1

league play

Coach: Scott Ashby

Key Returning Player: Ryder Young, Sr, running back

Key Departing Player: Kade Wilkin, defensive line

Season Opener: 8/23 –Freedom

Outlook 2024: It doesn’t hurt as much as Carlsbad losing Julian Sayin, but the graduation of defensive lineman Kade Wilkin is an inconceivable void to fill for Torrey Pines.

Wilkin made opposing quarterbacks miserable to the tune of 13 sacks and five forced fumbles. He also added 4 blocked punts.

Ryder Young is a workman in the backfield, coming off of a two-touchdown, 40 carry season.

Cathedral Catholic

(Western League)

Last Year: 4-8; 2-2

league play

Coach: Scott Ashby

Key Returning Player: Cade Smith, Jr, linebacker

Key Departing Player: Ethan Ford, running back

Season Opener: 8/23 –

Mater Dei Catholic

Outlook 2024: The Dons come into this season 14 touchdown passes, 15 rushing touchdowns and 10 receiving touchdowns lighter, with Ethan Ford, Charlie Abts, Jack Stevens, Matthew Hammond and Ty Jude Cortes graduated.

Junior wide receiver and Stanford baseball commit Hunter Harrington, a rangy six-foot-two, looks like a breakout player in the making.

Escondido

(Valley League)

Last Year: 3-9; 1-5 league play

Coach: Stephen Dixon Key Returning Play-

Key Departing Play-

Season Opener: 8/23 –at Orange Glen

Outlook 2024: With a freshman under center, the Cougars 2023 season was one of growing pains. Caden Thompson threw for 19 touchdowns but also had a propensity to complete passes to the other team – 14 interceptions. If he can cut the turnovers down, Escondido could be poised for a rebound season.

Wide receiver Josh Gonzales had a Randy Moss year as a sophomore, serving is the ultimate frosh safety blanket. He averaged over 100 yards receiving per game and scored 14 touchdowns.

Split out opposite Gonzales is sophomore Ezekial McIntyre, coming off a 52-catch season.

The Cougars like to throw the ball, limiting opportunities for running backs, but having lead rusher Friday Pollard back helps balance the offense.

Public Review and Comment Period

August 6, 2024 through September 20, 2024

Local Agencies Covered: City of Oceanside Oceanside Small Craft Habor District Morro Hills Community Services District

The San Diego County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) invites all interested agencies, persons, and organizations to review a revised draft report on a municipal service review covering the Oceanside region. The underlying aim of the municipal service review is to provide an independent “snapshot” of the level, range, and adequacy of municipal services in the Oceanside region relative to community needs by the three local agencies directly under the LAFCO oversight City of Oceanside; Oceanside Small Craft Harbor District; and Morro Hills Community Services District. This includes addressing governance and related accountability topics per statute. Once a final report is completed, the Commission will use the municipal service review over the proceeding five-year period to (a) guide subsequent sphere of influence updates, (b) inform future boundary changes and out-of-agency services, and – if merited to meet community needs – (c) initiate government reorganizations, such as special district formations, consolidations, and/or dissolutions.

LAFCO is currently inviting public review and comment on a revised draft report covering the municipal service review. Comments should be submitted in writing (emails preferred and directed to Analyst II Michaela Peters at michaela.peters@sdcounty.ca.gov) no later than Friday, September 20, 2024. Staff will incorporate written comments that are received by this date into the preparation of a final report, which is expected to be presented to the Commission as early as its October 7, 2024 meeting as part of a separately noticed hearing.

Hostetler, a right-handed pitcher who grew up in Encinitas, has been a fixture in the local baseball scene from a young age, playing for Encinitas Little League and later under Mustangs coach Carlos Fletes.

Hostetler recently wrapped up summer ball as a starting pitcher with the Matsu Miners in the Alaska Baseball League, where he was named to the All-ABL First Team earlier this month.

“Encinitas Little League was a huge part of my baseball career,” Hostetler said in an interview with The Coast News. “Everybody involved with that organization was kind of dedicated to winning and making the best baseball players they could.”

A self-described “sinker, slider, change-up guy,” Hostetler said his formative years on the mound were heavily influenced by his former little league and pitching coach, Brian Mazone.

“[Brian] was my pitching coach throughout little league and high school, and I was super fortunate

Last season at Whitman, Hostetler went 6-2 in a breakout campaign, recording 92 strikeouts and 35 walks for a 4.54 ERA.

Before signing with the Brewers, Hostetler was set to transfer to the No. 10 Oregon State Beavers to play his final season of college ball.

In a conversation with The Coast News, Mazone said Hostetler possesses a strong work ethic, noting that he has always been focused and driven, with a "nothing’s going to get in my way" attitude. Over time, he observed Hostetler’s growth, not only in his physical abilities, such as increased velocity, but also in his mental maturity and understanding of the game.

“He works really hard, and he’s focused on what he’s doing, and he has a goal,” Mazone said. “I think

Hostetler signed with the Brewers after an area scout noticed his performance. He’s currently training at the Brewers’ spring training complex in Phoenix, participating in a developmental Bridge League for new signees.

“Right now, it’s just a matter of getting ready to perform when I need to and being ready when my name’s called,” Hostetler said. He hopes to move up within the Brewers’ minor league system, with a longterm goal of reaching the major leagues within five years.

Hostetler will be eligible to join one of the Brewers’ minor league affiliates — he said most likely in Low- or High-A — following the completion of the Bridge League season, which ends in September.

“There’s definitely stress,” he said when asked about the competitiveness of where he’s at in his career. “But at this point, I feel like I know myself pretty well, I know my mechanics pretty well, and I have all kinds of things to fall back on when I do feel that stress.”

The original monastery was destroyed in 1959 but was subsequently re-established by 48 surviving monks. The Indian government generously donated land for a Tibetan refugee settlement, including Gaden Monastery.

Today, the monastery and its monastic college are supported by the tours.

The events will take place primarily in Encinitas from Aug. 25 to 31. The schedule is available at thecoastnews.com. To schedule a private blessing or healing ritual, call 760-815-2229.

Siesta Life cannabis shop opens in Encinitas

By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS

— Siesta Life, a new recreational cannabis dispensary, officially opened its doors Saturday as one of four businesses selected from over 200 applicants in a city-run lottery nearly two years ago.

Bertin Porcayo, owner of the shop at 1038 South Coast Highway near the corner of J Street, said the locally-owned and operated business strives to differentiate itself from the city’s two existing dispensaries, Wellgreens and The Cake House.

“We are focused on being the locals’ shop in Encinitas,” Porcayo said. “We're all friends and family, the group that was able to put this together, and we have no corporate backing at all.”

Free activities for the whole family including bungee trampolines, rock climbing walls and more. FREE admission for kids under 18 with a parent or guardian.

AP LLC, is slated for 1030 North Coast Highway near Le Papagayo restaurant in Leucadia.

The opening of Siesta Life is a part of the broader implementation of Measure

Sept. 7 - 8, 2024 Sat. 10am - 10pm Sun. 11am - 9pm

H, approved by local voters in 2020, which allows for the sale, manufacture and cultivation of cannabis in Encinitas.

Following its passage, the Encinitas City Council adopted an ordinance consistent with the measure, and the California Coastal Commission later approved necessary amendments to the city’s Local Coastal Plan. The selection process for cannabis retailers in Encinitas involved a lottery that gave preference to businesses with significant experience in the cannabis or pharmaceutical industries. All four winning businesses were selected from a pool of 171 applicants who met these criteria — and Siesta Life was chosen first.

“Out of all the applicants, we were chosen first in the lottery, which is pretty amazing, right? That's like a less than 1% chance, you know," Porcayo said.

A San Diego native who has been involved in the nightlife and music industries for nearly three decades, Porcayo said he and his team are focused on establishing themselves as a staple in the Encinitas community, blending their passion for music and cannabis under the Siesta Life brand.

“We’re here for the community,” he said. “Any medicinal cannabis knowledge that they’re looking for, we’re here for them and that’s the information we want to share with everyone.”

Surf competition honors life of Encinitas lifeguard

By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS

— For family and friends, few surfers embodied the spirit of the sport like Blake Dresner, an Encinitas native and lifeguard who passed away on a surf trip in Mexico four years ago.

By all accounts, dynamic in the water and a loyal friend on land, Blake’s legacy lives on through the annual surf contest in his name.

This year was no different as hundreds gathered at D Street on Aug. 17 to watch surfers of all skill levels duke it out in a series of heats, all hoping to be crowned champion of the 2024 Fourth Annual Blake Dresner Surf Contest.

Allison Dresner, Blake’s older sister and one of the event’s main organizers, told The Coast News that the contest was designed to be fun and less competitive than traditional surf contests, reflecting Blake’s disdain for the pressure-filled surf competitions he participated in growing up.

“We thought about how much Blake ended up hating other surf contests, … all the big surf contests that were almost national, that just put much pressure on kids, and so Blake ended up hating surf contests,” Dresner said. “Our whole goal was to make a surf contest that Blake would have really loved to be a part of.”

The contest, which be -

gan in the summer of 2021, quickly became a beloved tradition and cornerstone of the local surf community. The event celebrates Blake’s spirit in a way that resonates deeply with locals and onlookers alike.

The EPICC Foundation, established in Blake’s memory to provide life-saving training and emergency preparedness to coastal communities around the world, organizes the contest. The ethos of how

Blake approached surfing is high-level surfing with a focus on enjoyment rather than intense competition.

Josh Sirota, vice president and co-director of the EPICC Foundation, said the foundation was inspired by Blake’s passing and an experience Blake had while on a surf trip in Java with his friend Tory Knowles.

“Blake and Tory were hanging out on the beach, and there were these lo -

News that after witnessing the lack of life-saving and emergency preparedness knowledge, Blake was motivated to become a lifeguard.

“It was just crazy seeing how, when those kids were drowning, no one knew what to do or how to rescue them,” Knowles said. “They were all just screaming and yelling, and yeah, so we had to step in and help these people out.”

Aside from his commitment to lifeguarding, many regarded Blake as the epitome of what it means to be a surfer. An avid fisherman, swimmer and traveler, Blake inspired others to live up to a standard he seemed to set with ease.

“I really don’t even surf much anymore, I don’t really even have that desire,” Knowles said. “Now that he’s gone, it feels like I really have no one to push me like he did. That made me better, it always made me better.”

you ever do that sh*t again, I’ll knock your f*cking lights out.’”

A few months later, when Sirota was being hassled at another contest by groms from another school, he said Blake got involved and made sure the other kids backed off.

“I thought he hated me,” Sirota said. “But he was like, ‘Dude, I got your back. Don’t worry about it.’” This year’s contest saw surfers battling it out in a series of tight heats, with the finals drawing an enthusiastic crowd of locals, family and friends. The judges, all seasoned veterans of the sport, ensured the event remained true to its community roots.

“It’s become something super prestigious within the community,” Sirota noted. “Winning this thing is something that gets talked about until the following year.”

cal kids that were swimming on the inside, and two of them got swept out to sea,” Sirota said. “And they jumped in the water and swam out and basically saved these two kids that, for sure, would have drowned without him.”

Knowles said that after witnessing the lack of life-saving and emergency preparedness knowledge, Blake was motivated to become a lifeguard.

Knowles told The Coast

Sirota, a few years younger than Blake, said he had both looked up to him and been intimidated by him since high school. He recalled a surf team tryout where he pushed Blake out of position to grab a wave and make it through the heat.

“I was super proud of myself,” Sirota said, laughing as he told the story. “But when I was rinsing off in the shower, Blake came up to me, and he goes, ‘Hey,

As the contest concluded and the waves settled, Blake’s spirit was palpable during the award ceremony, where 28-year-old Taylor Clark was celebrated with a shower of Coors Light — Blake’s favorite beer — after winning the men’s division. While Victoria Duprat clinched the women’s and Jett Maughan won it for the groms.

“Truly, my life has gotten more dull since he’s been gone,” Allison said. “But this contest brings a bit of that light back.”

He took a major pivot in May when he announced he was dropping out of the City Council race to run for San Dieguito school board and was resigning from the Planning Commission after being appointed to the county’s Environmental Health and Quality Advisory Board.

The Coast News was unable to independently verify whether Sabellico has been employed by the school district as a substitute instructional assistant, and a spokesperson did not respond to requests for information in time for publication.

Sabellico also requested, and was granted by Paes, the designation of “board member” in reference to his position on the county’s Department of Environmental Health and Quality, which he was appointed to in May.

Allman claimed this title is also misleading, noting that this is an unpaid position on the advisory board that only meets once per month and, therefore, it does not constitute a principal profession.

Evan Sorem, an attorney working with Sabellico’s campaign, released a statement on Tuesday in response to the lawsuit. The statement explained that Sabellico’s substitute instructional assistant role involves working with teachers to implement programs for students with learning or behavioral differences. The statement also noted that he has his substitute teaching credential from the State of California.

Emails between Paes and Sabellico, included as exhibits in the lawsuit, show that Sabellico did not suggest designations referencing his campaign consultancy. His first suggested designations included “Educator/County of San Diego Boardmember” and “Educator/County of San Diego Policymaker.”

However, Paes said these designations did not meet requirements and also had a “substantial likelihood to mislead voters as to your principal profession, vocation, or occupation.” She did suggest “Educator/Board Member” in a subsequent email, which Sabellico accepted.

SDUHSD scrutinized for special ed litigation

Study: Lawsuits, settlement costs surpass $1M in ’23

By Laura Place

ENCINITAS — The San Dieguito Union High School District is reviewing areas for improvement in its special education services and operations as community members call on leaders to be more transparent about its legal spending on cases against special education families.

At an Aug. 8 meeting, the district board of trustees reviewed the results of a recent study by the state’s Financial Crisis and Management Assistance Team (FCMAT) regarding the district’s special education services.

The study, which was conducted in the spring of this year, specifically examined staffing, enrollment, spending and transportation in the special education department and identified areas for improvement. The district’s last FCMAT study on special education was in 2015, and it also received a 2022 FCMAT study focused on general district operations.

“I understand that these reports have been done before, and I also understand we’ve had quite a lot of transition in leadership, so it was important to update this report so that we can make

this an actionable document for us,” said Superintendent Anne Staffieri.

One section of the report focused on litigation and settlement spending on special education cases, an area where the district is facing growing scrutiny from parents and the community.

Legal spending

Carolynne Beno, FCMAT Intervention Specialist, said SDUHSD is prevailing in most of its special-education litigation with the state Office of Administrative Hearing, which reviews cases where the district and a family disagree on what services their child needs.

The FCMAT study noted that special education

tends to be highly litigious due to differing interpretations of what constitutes a “free appropriate public education.” However, Beno encouraged the district to pursue alternative dispute resolution whenever possible.

“Obviously, you’re working with your attorney to decide which cases to take to court for due process. What we found is your district wins most of the time, indicating that you are defending the right kind of decisions,” Beno said.

Some community members refuted this, noting how the district spent the last two years litigating unsuccessfully against one special education family, the Ogawas, before finally agreeing to enter a settle-

ment in June.

San Dieguito refused the Ogawa family’s request to grant a non-public school placement for their teenage daughter at The Winston School in Del Mar, going against the advice of the rest of her Individualized Education Program (IEP) team and forcing the family to pay out-of-pocket for her tuition.

A state Office of Administrative Hearings judge and a federal appeals judge both ruled in favor of the family, ordering the district to fund the student’s placement at Winston. The district board appeared set to appeal the case again in April but then agreed to settle with the family two weeks later for an unknown sum.

San Dieguito rejected

a records request from The Coast News for the exact amount spent on litigating the Ogawa case. However, the FCMAT noted that the district’s spending on special education litigation and settlements has grown steadily over the past three years — from around $846,000 in 2021-22 to $928,000 in 2022-23 to just over $1 million last year.

Kelly Ogawa, who fought the district over needed services for her daughter, said San Dieguito has failed to lower legal costs since the 2015 FCMAT study noted the same issue.

District parent and litigation attorney Evan Sorem also spoke up for the Ogawas, criticizing San Dieguito Special Education Director Tiffany Hazlewood for dragging out the process and refusing to work collaboratively with the family.

Sorem also claimed that the attorney law firm Orbach, Huff and Henderson, which litigates special education cases for the district, took the district for a ride by advising the board to continue fighting the Ogawa

“Now, in 2024, FCMAT is again highlighting the same issues, and it’s alarming that despite repeated warnings and recommendations, these problems have persisted for nearly a decade. This ongoing inaction is unacceptable,” Ogawa said. “It also makes me think these reports are placed on the shelf and nothing is done.”

FINANCIAL CRISIS and Management Assistance Team, or FCMAT, found San Dieguito Union High School District’s costs related to special education litigation have continued to rise over the past three years.

tributions raised at this time.

District 4

In District 4, incumbent Councilmember Peter Weiss will face Amber Kae Niuatoa and Omar Hashimi.

Weiss previously served as city engineer, public works director, city manager and mayor before taking over the District 4 seat in 2020.

“I am familiar with all aspects of local government, I have the skills, experience and unique qualifications to represent the City. I have demonstrated my support for businesses and overall economic development to expand the City’s tax base,” Weiss states on his website. “Over the past few years we have created a positive investment environment that has successfully attracted new businesses and development. We need to continue those efforts in order to provide programs and services to our community.”

Niuatoa has served as Brother Benno’s volunteer and teaches sociology at MiraCosta College, where she graduated.

According to her website, Niuatoa was asked by fellow residents to step up to represent her district.

“District 4 deserves new leadership and a representative who puts community interest over investor interests,” her website states. “I prom-

ise to address community concerns, including the housing crisis, infrastructure, environmental sustainability, and the local economy.”

Hashimi, who lives in the Rancho Del Oro community, is a commissioned officer in the United States Army Reserve, a real estate investment director, and a small business owner. His priorities include addressing housing and homelessness, encouraging small business development, improving public safety and implementing environmentally sustainable solutions for the city.

“My background in housing and real estate management and the skills I gained serving our country will be pivotal when tackling the housing crisis, figuring out our role in climate stabilization, creating a welcoming environment for small business growth, and protecting the health and safety of our residents,” he states on his website.

Weiss has so far raised $59,428.07, Niuatoa has

raised $9,244.15 and Hashimi $681.39.

Officials/Measures

Incumbent City Treasurer Victor Roy will face challengers Phyllis Dominguez, a local businesswoman, and Jack Fernandes, an experienced businessman and treasurer. City Clerk Zeb Navarro is running for reelection unopposed. Voters will also decide whether or not to extend Measure X, the city’s halfcent sales tax, for another 10 years.

California Wine Festival returns to Park Hyatt

The California Wine Festival returned to Carlsbad’s Park Hyatt Aviara Resort for two days of alfresco tasting events. Guests could try pours from esteemed winemaking regions across California, paired with gourmet appetizers from many of North County’s top restaurants.

Day 1 kicked off with a Sunset Rare & Reserve Tasting, a special experience for wine enthusiasts that featured a sparkling wine reception that flowed into sampling hard-to-find reserve wines. On Day 2, the wine tasting experience continued at Park Hyatt Aviara Resort’s Heron Lawn.

Attendees continued their wine education and exploration through intimate conversations and tastings with winery representatives hailing from California’s world-famous wineries as well as culinary talent from the region’s most lauded restaurants.

Emily Kaufmann, executive director of the California Wine Festival, said, “We founded this event in hopes that wine enthusiasts can engage with represen-

tatives from wineries that they already know and love, while also discovering new wines that they’ve never heard of.”

Last year, we discovered Gus’s World-Famous Fried Chicken and planned to make this our first stop at this year’s show. Gus’s is the best chicken I have ever had. The large pieces with a thin, hot and spicy batter fried in peanut oil is mouthwatering delicious. I dream of a Gus’s opening in the San Diego area.

Mynor Espinoza, Gus’s director of marketing and public relations, was not hopeful for a San Diego area opening in the near future, but said they have discussed the possibility of a San Diego location. The

nearest Gus's is located in Santa Ana.

On our way over to Gus’s we saw Orfila Vineyards and Winery executive chef Luke Morganstern, who shared some of the changes at Orfila. The winery closed its Oceanside Tasting Room to join forces with Brickmans Restaurant & Bar at Lake San Marcos. Additionally, Orfila is putting in a full kitchen at its main Escondido location.

Amalfi Cucina, which has opened several North County sites, purchased Orfila’s Oceanside location. We learned about the Orfila updates while enjoying its 2023 Sauvignon Blanc, 2023 Sangiovese Rose and 2020 Sangiovese. It was a pleasure reconnecting with Hall Napa Valley director of public relations Lisa Covey, especially after my visit to the winery earlier this summer. Covey presented a standout lineup: the 2023 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc, 2018 Terra Secca Red Blend and the star of the lineup, the 2019 Eighteen Seventy-Three. Named after the historic Bergfeld Vineyard in St. Helena, this wine dazzled with a floral nose, blueberry hints, and a pal ate of ripe dark fruit and smooth tannins—a true tes tament to Hall’s winemak

ing prowess.

Next, we ventured to the Booker Wines booth, where brand ambassador Carson O'Connor poured some Paso Robles winners. The Harvey & Harriet wines, dedicated to owner Eric Jensen’s parents, are accessible, quality wines that won’t break the bank. The 2021 Chardonnay and 2020 Red Blend exemplified this philosophy, offering excellent value.

For those seeking a

more indulgent experience, the 2019 Fracture Syrah, aged 18 months in new French oak, impressed with its dark, opaque color and complex palate of black cherry, blackberry, clove and coffee— a perfect match for hearty beef or pork dishes.

The journey continued at Hope Family Wines, where brand ambassador CJ Gormley and wine educator Maddi Teague showcased a crisp 2022 Chardonnay, a

2023 Cellar Select Rosé and a 2022 Malbec with a hint of black tea. Hope's flagship 2021 Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon did not disappoint, rounding out a strong showing from this Paso Robles favorite.

In between tastings, a visit to Scott Condon’s Inferno Wood Fired Pizza was a must. Its light, airy crust — thanks to a 48hour fermentation — was

CAN IT! Easy pickling recipes

jano’s garden

In 1858, in Vineland, New Jersey, a tinsmith named John Landis Mason invented and patented the Mason jar. This screw threaded glass jar revolutionized food preservation, and is still used today, under the names Ball or Kerr canning jars. Many of us still use the jars for our fall preservation and canning activities.

We have simplified this week’s recipes for this century, so you won’t heat up your kitchen with canning equipment that generates steam.

These recipes are called Quick Pickles, but instructions for most canning recipes and traditional procedures can be found at www. ballmasonjars.com, including Canning & Preserving 101.

YOU CAN CAN ANY FRUIT OR VEGETABLE!

Be it cucumbers, beets, cauliflower, apples, peaches, pears or plums, these basic recipes can be applied to all.

The brining liquid is also the same with a concoction of spices usually called pickling spices.

If you want to make the mix yourself, the traditional pickling herbs are dill, mustard seeds, celery seed, garlic, pepper and cloves. The additional spices that might change the flavor include hot pepper flakes, coriander, basil, coriander seed and curry powder. Be certain to purchase only Ball or Mason glass jars with two lids. At this time of year, it is a good idea to buy the 12-jar case. For best results, don’t reuse old food jars, and sterilize all parts of new jars before using.

SWEET SUMMER MEMORIES

“Dilly beans,” as they are known in the Midwest, were stored on all of our Wisconsin grandmother’s shelves and served as a cold salad in the summer with fresh corn and Sheboygan bratwurst.

This summer dinner was the go-to meal my parents prepared every Sunday afternoon at our summer cottage on the lake.

When I make the beans, it brings back memories of cool summer nights eating dinner on the screen porch, while the evening fog rolled in from Lake Michigan.

HOW TO MAKE DILLY BEANS

(the easy way)

Recipe from Food.com (Matthew Molus)

Ingredients: (yields 10 pint jars; recipe can be cut in half)

• 4 pounds fresh green beans

• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, mustard seeds, dill seed per jar

• 1 whole clove garlic per jar

• 5 cups white vinegar

• 5 cups water

• ½ cup pickling salt

Directions:

1. Wash and sterilize in

hot water both jars and lids; this recipe makes 10 pints which can be halved to five pints.

2. Set aside while cooking the beans. Clean and cut beans the same length as pint jars. Place all spices in each jar. Add beans to the jar to fit, leaving head room for lids. Boil vinegar, salt and water to boil and pour hot liquid over beans.

3. Tighten lids, cool and refrigerate for at least one week. Made in this fashion, they cannot be stored at room temperature, but must be refrigerated.

A MODERN VERSION OF GIARINIERA

One of my favorite can-

2977 Ocean St

Carlsbad, CA

5 BED | 6.5 BATH | 4,564 SQ FT $11,550,000

Santistevan

Ingredients: (makes 4 pint Ball jars)

• 1 tablespoon canola oil

• 1 teaspoon each cumin seed and coriander seed

• 2 teaspoons curry powder

• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

• 1 whole clove garlic, smashed

• 1 head fresh cauliflower, cut into florets

• 1 cup water

• 1 cup rice wine vinegar

• ½ cup cider vinegar

• 3 tablespoons sugar

• 1 teaspoon pickling salt

Directions:

ning projects that uses a variety of vegetables from your garden or vegetable market is giardiniera, which combines pickled cauliflower, carrots and onions.

This Italian pickled relish has been used in home kitchens and restaurants for decades.

In Chicago delicatessens it is used as a topping for Italian beef sandwiches, subs and even pizza. The New York version is added to salads, sandwiches and pasta.

While searching the recipe, I found one from Alton Brown, who changed it up by adding Indian curry spices. He calls it “Hurry Curry Cauliflower.”

Wash and sterilize the jars and lids in hot water. Set aside while cooking. Sauté cumin and coriander seed in canola oil. Add curry powder, ginger and garlic to pan. Stir until spices are fragrant. Add the florets to the pan and toss to coat. In a separate jar with lid, combine the water, rice wine vinegar, cider vinegar, sugar and pickling salt. Shake to combine.

Once the cauliflower is slightly tender, add to Ball jar. Pour the pickling liquid over the cauliflower, filling it to the top of the jar. Cool, chill and store in refrigerator for at least one week to develop flavor.

Happy canning!

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Public hearing to consider a Zoning Code Amendment (ZA), General Plan Amendment (GPA), and Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) for the adoption of a new Specific Plan Area (SPA) known as the El Camino Real Specific Plan (ECRSP). The ECRSP provides a regulatory framework to guide future site-specific development and improvements within the commercial corridor to support revitalization of the SPA through implementation of streetscape improvements, and objective design standards that would ensure future site-specific development and redevelopment achieve the land use vision and design objectives intended for the SPA and for housing that may be proposed through State legislation.

The LCPA will not become effective until after adoption by the California Coastal Commission. Legal notice of public hearing published on July 26, 2024, began a six-week Notice of Availability public review period (July 26, 2024, through September 6, 2024), which is required prior to any final action being taken by the City Council on the LCPA request.

EAST COUNTY REGIONAL CENTER BY STATUE, 250 E. MAIN STREET, EL CAJON, CA 92020 Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $521,693.38 Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt owed.

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

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The City of Vista is updating the General Plan (Vista 2050), to address recent state statutes, guidance, and requirements, reflect the diversity of the City of Vista, and to provide access and opportunities for all. This review and update process encompasses the entire General Plan, including the goals and policies, except for the Housing Element, which is on a separate track as it was certified by HCD back in September of 2022.

As a part of this process, the City is preparing a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) to evaluate changes in the physical environment that could occur as a result of adoption of the proposed Vista 2050, which includes a comprehensive update of the City’s current General Plan 2030. The PEIR is being prepared by the City in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to evaluate potential significant environmental effects associated with implementation of Vista 2050 and to recommend mitigation measures, as required.

Under the CEQA, upon deciding to prepare a PEIR, the City, as lead agency, is required to issue a Notice of Preparation (NOP) to inform trustee and responsible agencies, organizations, and other interested parties, of the decision to undertake preparation of a PEIR. The purpose of the NOP is to provide information describing the proposed project and its potential environmental effects to those who may wish to comment regarding the scope and content of the information to be considered in the PEIR.

SUBMITTING COMMENTS

Comments as to the appropriate scope of analysis in the PEIR are invited from all interested parties. Written comments on the scope of the PEIR will be accepted from August 20, 2024 until 5:00 p.m. on September 19, 2024.

CITY OF DEL MAR NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Monday, the 9th day of September, 2024, at 4:30 p.m., (or as soon thereafter as practicable) in the City of Del Mar Town Hall, 1050 Camino del Mar, Del Mar, California, the City Council will conduct a public hearing on the following:

Project: Introduction and Adoption of an Ordinance to establish regulations for Short Term Rentals (STRs)

Location: Citywide

Applicant: City of Del Mar

Environmental Status: Not subject to CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA only applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

Staff Contact: Amanda Lee, Principal Planner alee@delmar.ca.us or (858) 704-3645

Description: This is a request for City Council to: 1) Confirm the environmental determination that the proposed STR Regulations project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (General Rule) because CEQA only applies to projects with the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment; and 2) introduce and adopt an Ordinance amending the Del Mar Municipal Code and certified Local Coastal Program to establish regulations for STRs in a new DMMC Chapter 30.96.

On August 13, 2024, the Planning Commission voted 4-0 to confirm the environmental determination and recommend approval of the code amendments with a recommendation to modify the definition of short term rental to define STRs as less than one month and define what that means.

Those desiring to be heard in favor of or in opposition to this item will be given an opportunity to do so by participating in the City Council meeting in-person by addressing the City Council for up to three minutes or by submitting a written comment. Please submit a completed “Speaker Slip”, including the item number you wish to speak on, to the City Clerk prior to the Mayor announcing the agenda item. The forms are located near the door at the rear of the Meeting Room. When called to speak, please approach the podium and state your name for the record.

Written Comments: Members of the public can participate in the meeting by submitting a written red dot comment via email to cityclerk@delmar.ca.us. The deadline to submit written comments is 12 p.m. on the day of the meeting and the subject line of your email should clearly state the agenda item you are commenting on.

Under California Government Code 65009, if you challenge the nature of the proposed action in Court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or written correspondence delivered to the City at, or prior to, the public hearing.

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.

At the Adobe Road booth, regional sales director Callum Clarke impressed with a robust lineup that included a chardonnay and pinot noir sourced from Petaluma Gap, specifically Sangiacomo Vineyard’s Roberts Road vineyard.

However, the highlight was the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley’s Beckstoffer Georges III vineyard.

With a nose of plum and cigar notes, and a palate bursting with dark fruit, spice and firm tannins, this wine earned 94-point ratings from both Wine Spectator and Robert Parker. It was my top pick of the event.

Finally, we visited Lloyd Cellars, where husband-and-wife team Rob and Bonnie Lloyd offered a

taste of their expertise. Rob had experience as Rombauer's assistant winemaker, associate winemaker and winemaker spanning 2001 to 2008, and I correctly guessed that the value-priced Prescription Chardonnays were going to be good.

The 2022 Lloyd Pinot Noir delivered classic cherry and cola flavors with a lingering finish, while the 2021 Prescription Cabernet Sauvignon, with its blackberry notes and soft tannins, proved to be a wellpriced, solid everyday wine reminding me of the Harvey & Harriet brand.

Experience the future of healing

Regenerative medicine is a form of molecular biology that revitalizes the body by regenerating, re-engineering, or replacing human cells, tissues, or organs to establish normal function. At our practice, we utilize cutting-edge human cellular tissue products and protocols tailored to restore your injured or painful area to as close to normal as possible.

Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with a bone, joint, ligament, muscle, or nerve problem? As we age, our ability to heal diminishes, and pain increases due to a decline in stem cell function and quantity. Stem

cells become dormant and nonproductive, leading to a cycle of discomfort and limited mobility. Replenishing this supply presents increased opportunities to reduce or eliminate pain in joints and nerve pain associated with neuropathy.

By transplanting the correct tissue, in the correct amount, into the injured or painful part of your body, we can activate dormant cells, regenerate new tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore normal function. Unlike medications that merely mask symptoms, regenerative medicine addresses the root cause of your discomfort, offering

a promising alternative to invasive surgeries like joint replacement. If you're wondering whether regenerative medicine can work for you, don't miss our free workshop on Sept. 4, 2024, at 5:30 PM, at Leucadia Chiropractic, located at 1351 Encinitas Blvd. Join esteemed presenters Dr. Scott SeBastian and Teresa Lambert, NP, as they share insights into the transformative power of regenerative medicine. Attendance is free, but RSVP is required. Secure your spot by calling 760942-3321 today. Take the first step towards a healthier, pain-free future.

ing against encampments.

Blackwell said the city’s approach, particularly the partnership with Vista on the navigation center, provides shelter and essential services to help stabilize individuals.

“I really love serving Encinitas,” Blackwell said. “It’s not an easy job, but I truly feel passionate about being part of shaping the change in our community.”

Luke Shaffer

Encinitas native and former U.S. Marine Corps F-18 pilot Luke Shaffer told The Coast News he advocates for a comprehensive approach to city planning that prioritizes transparency, fiscal responsibility and community-driven development.

Shaffer, a La Costa Canyon High School coach, emphasized the need for a long-term vision for Encinitas, including a “2050 plan” to guide sustainable growth and infrastructure improvements. As the city faces increasing pressure from state mandates and high-density developments, Shaffer said there’s a need for a careful balance between progress and preserving the community’s character.

“This is a community that could lead by example for the globe, not just the state, not just the nation,” Shaffer said. “We can do it right and show people we have a way to fight against these big bureaucratic requirements.”

Among issues like addressing infrastructure needs and public safety concerns, Shaffer stressed the need for greater transparency in government decisions — particularly in planning and development. Shaffer said he supports the idea of a more interactive and informative city app that keeps residents updated and involved in local issues, allowing them to provide feedback and make informed decisions.

“We need a basic, com-

family rather than meeting their demands early on in order to continue being paid.

“Any lawyer with any basic understanding of special education law asked to review the Ogawa case back in January of 2022 when it was filed would have told Hazlewood and the district that litigating the Ogawa case was unwise,” Sorem said.

In an email sent this week to special education parents, Hazlewood announced she is leaving the district to become the executive director at the North Coastal Consortium of Special Education, which oversees special education operations in 14 districts throughout San Diego County.

prehensive, forward-looking plan that is public knowledge and guides decision-making from here on,” he said. “It’s about transparency and ensuring the people have the real information, not just what we want them to hear.”

On his website, Shaffer said he opposes the 1% tax hike. However, in an interview with the Coast News, he said he is “skeptical” about the tax, questioning the current administration’s spending habits. While he’s not opposed to the tax itself, he wants clear accountability and a specified plan for how the funds would be used.

“I was born here, I was raised here, I left, and now I’m raising my family here. I’m more than likely going to die here,” Shaffer said. “I’m not just running for a seat; I’m standing up for the place that has shaped me.”

District 2

Jim O’Hara

With a platform focused on public safety, infrastructure and fiscal

responsibility, O’Hara told the Coast News that transparent decision-making that prioritizes the community’s interests over large development and vanity projects is needed.

“My platform isn’t very sexy, but it’s about what basic government is supposed to do, focusing on public safety, infrastructure, and fiscal responsibility,” O’Hara said. “City Council is not meant to be a career politician’s position; it’s meant to be local representation, and I think it’s time we bring that back.”

O’Hara, who owns and operates Race San Diego LLC, an event management company that handles The Kook Run, said his platform centers on enhancing public safety, improving local infrastructure and ensuring fiscal responsibility. He said he advocates prioritizing essential services like road repairs and law enforcement over projects catering to external interests.

“We need to prioritize the needs of the community, like road repairs and

drainage, over trophy projects that don’t serve Encinitas residents,” he said.

“Public safety is a priority, and that means giving our Sheriff’s Department and Fire Department the tools and support they need, as well as addressing homelessness with compassion and accountability.”

O’Hara said he is committed to transparent governance that reflects the needs and values of Encinitas residents. He emphasized his long-standing involvement in the community through business management, event organization and participation on local boards, stating that his candidacy is not a stepping stone but a commitment to ensuring the future of Encinitas is guided by someone deeply invested in its well-being.

“This is not a stepping stone for me. Our future is too important to be someone’s stepping stone,” O’Hara said. “We need someone who shows up, cares and isn’t going to be beholden to Sacramento but to the residents of En-

cinitas.”

Destiny Preston

Preston, a small-business owner, has worked with the California Coastal Commission and Caltrans and is focusing her campaign on climate resilience, infrastructure safety and responsible development.

“My life has really been shaped by a passion for public service and the environment,” Preston told The Coast News. “I studied environmental policy during my undergrad years … and since then, I’ve been focused on working in local government and on various boards. I believe this experience uniquely positions me to deliver on day one as a council member.”

With a background in environmental policy and city planning, Preston said her experience in coastal and transportation planning is a crucial qualification for the role. She has pledged to seek funding to improve safety measures for all road users, highlighting the importance of wildfire resilience and sus-

tainable development.

“I support context-specific development, and it’s vital that no particular areas of the city are overdeveloped and that we have the infrastructure to support new growth,” she said.

Despite a stated record of public service, questions have been raised about Preston’s record of residency in Encinitas. She said she has been a full-time resident since 2022, moving to the city after growing up in Los Angeles and spending time in the Bay Area.

“I’ve had immediate family in the Encinitas area since 1994, so that was the first time I came here, about 30 years ago as a four-year-old,” Preston said. “I’ve been connected to this area for some time now, and like I said, grew up splitting my time between LA and North County.”

Preston is endorsed by prominent Democratic figures, including Congressman Mike Levin and State Senator Catherine Blakespear. She said her endorsements from high-profile Democrats underscore her alignment with the party’s broader values, although some voters have raised concerns about outside influence in local politics.

“I don’t believe that the number of years lived here should be a prerequisite for serving,” Preston said. “What’s most important is who’s qualified to govern and who has the experience to deliver on public policy issues.”

Ballot Measure:

1% Sales Tax Increase

Encinitas voters will also consider a proposed one-cent sales tax increase in November. The measure, which could generate $15 million annually, aims to fund infrastructure projects like storm drain repairs and pollution reduction.

While a city survey showed around 60% support, some residents oppose the increase, citing concerns about tax burdens and accountability.

Allman and Trustee Katrina Young also encouraged district staff to gather more feedback from special education families to learn more about needed areas of improvement, as the FCMAT study only included input from staff and administrators.

“How do we measure, in a systematic way from parents, how well they think we’re doing? Because I think if we had a systematic process where at the end of something, if we surveyed them or had a discussion, we can measure how well we are doing and identify some areas we can do better,” Allman said.

Recommendations

FCMAT made several recommendations to improve special education operations, many of which the district has already begun to implement, according to Staffieri.

Trustee Michael Allman said he would be in favor of looking into other alternative forms of dispute resolution, such as an independent ombudsman, rather than jumping into litigation.

The study recommended hiring another behaviorist to help meet behavioral support needs in the district — SDUHSD only has one — and scheduling more co-teaching time between special education and general education teachers.

FCMAT also noted that San Dieguito has more special education administrators than other similarly-sized districts, which echoes findings in the 2022 FCMAT study about the high number of overall education services administrators.

Despite the high number of administrators, FCMAT noted that many special education staff said they need more program supervisor support at individual school sites. The study recommended making sure that supervisors can maximize their time at school sites and deal with other responsibilities at other times.

When it comes to transportation, FCMAT Consultant Tim Purvis said

the district transported 61 students on two general education routes and 120 students on 15 special education bus routes this past school year.

The study recommended finding a way to add additional bus runs in the morning and afternoon, allowing more students to ride fewer buses.

Staffieri commended the district’s special education staff for their work and said the district is committed to making improvements in the future.
