Police increase holiday DUI patrols
By Walker Armstrong
CARLSBAD — The Carlsbad Police Department is stepping up efforts to keep roads safe during the holiday season as part of the national “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign.
The enforcement initiative runs from Dec. 11 through New Year’s Day, and additional officers will be on patrol to identify and stop impaired drivers.
“During the holiday season, we see families
and loved ones coming together to celebrate, and our goal is to make sure everyone gets home safely,” said Lt. Alonso DeVelasco of the Carlsbad Police Department’s Traffic Division. “Impaired driving isn’t just dangerous, it’s illegal.”
The campaign highlights the risks of driving under the influence. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety

Ranch evictions disputed Housing group says
notices illegal
VISTA — The city of Vista’s fair housing provider, Center for Social Advocacy San Diego County, has accused Green Oak Ranch of illegally evicting tenants from an on-site RV park, prompting ranch leadership to push back against the allegations.
Residents of the park, operated by the nonprofit Green Oak Ranch Ministries (a separate entity from the larger Green Oak Ranch), received notices on Sept. 30 informing them they needed to vacate the park within 60 days to make way for homelessness nonprofit Solutions for Change, co-founded by CEO Chris Megison, which is starting a 10-year lease of a 110-acre portion of the ranch in 2025.
According to the city, approximately 32 households lived at the park when the notices were issued. The notices also stated that residents who failed to give up possession of their property could face legal action.
Vista housing officials and San Diego Rescue Mission have been working since October to connect park tenants to new housing and other resources, and the Vista City Council expressed concerns about the situation in November.

San Marcos acts to safeguard senior housing
By Leo Place
SAN MARCOS —
The San Marcos City Council enacted a 45-day moratorium last week to prevent mobile home park owners from altering age requirements at senior-only parks, protecting senior housing in the city.
City leaders adopted the ordinance on Dec. 3 in response to a situation at Lakeview Mobile Estates, one of 12 senior mobile home parks in the city. The park rents to those 55 and older.
In July, park owners distributed a notice to residents with updated rules and regulations, stating that ownership reserves the right to change the park to an all-ages park at any time.
According to the City Attorney’s Office, this raised concerns about the city losing its ability to provide safe and decent housing opportunities to seniors.
In October, the City Attorney’s Office reached out to Lakeview for clarification regarding its intent and planned timeline to change age requirements.
Dowdall Law Offices, a law firm representing the park owners, did not clarify and argued that the city has no jurisdiction in this matter and “may not force owners to provide ‘older persons’ housing.’”
“We asked them to clarify, they declined to do so in quite vehement terms, and they did not provide us with the clarification we had requested,” said City Attorney Helen Peake. “If the owner had responded, the need for urgency would have been quite diminished.”
Due to this proposed change to age requirements, the moratorium states that there is “a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare arising from the lack of housing options for persons aged 55 and older.”
The City Council unanimously supported the moratorium, which would maintain the status quo while the city considered adopting a senior-only mobile home park zoning ordinance.
Since researching these zoning changes can be time-consuming, the city may renew the moratorium after the initial 45 days expire to buy itself more time.
“This is a precautionary action, so that we make sure that our residents are completely covered and we know exactly what’s going on,” said Mayor Rebecca Jones. “The fact they did not actually answer our question … is a little problematic and concerning to me.”
Under the California Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL), senior parks are defined as those where at least 80% of the residents are 55 and older.
In an October letter to the city, Dowdall Law stated that mobile home park owners have authority over the MRL after the U.S. Supreme Court ended 40 years of precedent set in Chevron, U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. earlier this year.
The court’s June 2024 decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo states that courts are no longer required to defer to a federal agency’s interpretation of ambiguously written law and restores the right to the court to interpret these laws independently.
The ruling emphasizes the necessity of clear and explicit delegations of authority from Congress, adding that courts will no longer infer agency powers from ambiguous or vague statutory language.
The Coast News spoke with Terry Dowdall, an attorney at Dowdall Law, to clarify how the shift away from the long-held “Chevron deference” relates to mobile home parks.
For years, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has erroneously interpreted the Housing for Older Persons
Act to make senior housing compulsory via zoning, according to Dowdall.
Dowdall told The Coast News the Supreme Court’s recent ruling means courts can no longer rely on HUD’s interpretation in legal challenges.
“At present, I await a response to questions about the position of the city relative to recent interpretations by the United States Supreme Court as to
administrative overreach by federal agencies. I have every expectation of maintaining a positive and amicable relationship which I have enjoyed for many years,” Dowdall said.
California Mobilehome Residency Law states that federal law does not specifically address the process of changing parks from senior-only to all ages.
While it is often the sole decision of park man-
agement in the case of rental parks, some local governments do require parks that were developed as “senior parks” to be maintained as such unless approved by the city or county, the MRL states.
John Mosher, representative of the San Marcos Mobilehome Residents Association, thanked the City Council for looking out for its seniors and responding with urgency to the situa-
tion at Lakeview.
“Thank you for expediting this and looking at the seriousness of what the residents of Lakeview are facing,” Mosher said. “I want to say thank you from senior citizens, that we can get this kind of help, to where we know our communities that we have existing, we won’t lose those, and we’ll have that available housing for seniors now and in the future.”

Carlsbad advances plans to fix Terramar steps
Coastal erosion has staircase in danger of collapse
By Walker Armstrong CARLSBAD —
The Carlsbad Planning Commission unanimously approved plans to repair a Terramar beach access staircase on Dec. 4, citing public safety concerns over its deteriorating condition.
According to city staff, the stairway connecting the Terramar community to South Carlsbad State Beach has sustained significant structural damage due to years of wave action.
This erosion has created unsafe conditions, including sea caves, and caused portions of the lower structure to collapse over the past year.
“It’s just a matter of time before the stairway collapses,” said project engineer Walt Crampton. “These treads are dangerous … and it’s just a matter of time before many people get hurt.”
The project involves replacing rusted handrails with stainless steel ones, repairing steps, backfilling sea caves with erodible concrete, constructing a shotcrete wall for stabilization and enhancing drainage systems.
The reinforced wall will be textured and colored to blend with the
surrounding coastal bluff. The repair work is expected to be completed in 2-3 months, but a Right of Entry Permit from State Parks will be required before work can begin.
During construction, small excavators, jackhammers and a crane will be stored on California State Parks property. After the project, the staging area will be reseeded with native plants.
The stairway, built in 1997 on a coastal bluff property at 5327 Carlsbad
Boulevard, is the only public access point to the beach within the Terramar area.
“This particular stairway is a critical means for providing public access,” said Commissioner Joseph Stine. “In fact, the only means for about a mile for people that [want] to enjoy the beach.”
The project faced jurisdictional challenges, as the California Coastal Commission argued it fell under its purview. However, multiple surveys conducted by licensed land surveyors
determined that the stairway lies within the city’s jurisdiction.
To address potential impacts on beach sand supply, the project includes a mitigation plan requiring either the placement of 85.1 cubic yards of sand on a nearby beach or payment of a sand mitigation fee.
The fee was estimated to total “just over $5,000,” according to city staff.
The commission approved the project unanimously, with two commissioners absent, un-
derscoring its alignment with public access goals under the California Coastal Act. Construction is expected to proceed following necessary permitting approvals.
“We’ve seen by the photographs … substantial deterioration,” Stine said, referencing images documenting erosion over the past year. “This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed ASAP.”
Kiosks, pushcarts
The Planning Commission agreed to expand a kiosk program at Carlsbad Premium Outlets to allow more mobile carts and stationary retail booths at the popular shopping mall.
The outlet’s updated program will feature 17 pushcarts, including one retroactively permitted 5x5-foot cart and 16 new 5x8-foot carts, and five kiosks of varying sizes, including four retroactively permitted units and one newly approved kiosk replacing an existing pushcart.
Retroactive permits were granted for some existing kiosks, including Wetzel’s Pretzels, Exxiypop Shoppe, Oasis Tacos, Maria’s Convenience Store and Buonissimo.
According to the staff report, the pushcarts and kiosks provide flexible retail options, enhance the shopping experience and fit the 300,000-square-foot
retail center’s existing architecture.
The Planning Commission also approved a 1% reduction in required parking, ensuring the number of spaces aligns with the 1,519 spots currently available on site.
According to staff, this parking reduction complies with the Carlsbad Municipal Code and does not involve removing any existing parking spaces.
“This particular project doesn’t negatively or positively affect [parking],” said Commissioner Joseph Stine. “So in terms of amending the development plan, because it does not adversely affect parking, I can support this project.”
The project was approved unanimously, with two commissioners absent from the meeting.
The updates also retroactively permit kiosks and pushcarts that have been operating with business licenses but without proper planning approvals.
Associate Planner Edward Valenzuela explained that the changes are intended to address administrative missteps and bring the property into compliance.
“With all the challenges of commercial real estate, anything that we can do as a city to help assist them and be more successful in their operations, I think, is good,” said Commissioner Peter Merz.

Can teen athletes stay a step ahead of torn
By Dr. Andrew D. Pearle
Ican always tell when school sports are back in full swing by the steady stream of athletes who limp into my office with torn ACLs. Every year, I have to tell heartbroken players that they'll have to spend the rest of their season on the bench.
Sadly, these conversations are becoming more frequent: The number of high school athletes who suffered ACL tears increased 26% between 2007 and 2022.
The incidence of torn ACLs has increased with the growth of youth sports. Kids are playing at younger ages and year-round. They're training harder.
Yet we haven't matched this growth with an investment in injury prevention.
Most ACL ruptures occur when an athlete moves in a way that involves a change of direction, like dodging another player or landing after a jump. Agility-based sports -- like soccer, football, and basketball -- have higher rates.
Girls experience ACL tears up to eight times more frequently than boys. High school girls playing yearround soccer have the highest risk of all -- an alarming 16% to 18% chance of rupturing an ACL.
Knee injuries are not an inevitable part of playing sports. Decades of research
have shown that targeted exercises to improve agility-based body control can reduce the risk of ACL tears and other knee injuries by 50% to 80%.
As an orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery, I work with hundreds of profes-
The incidence of torn ACLs has increased with the growth of youth sports.
sional athletes to prevent ACL tears using neuromuscular training programs, or NMT. Younger athletes can also benefit from these techniques.
NMT trains athletes to stay in control of their bodies when rapidly changing directions. It teaches them to plant and move explosively and safely, keep their balance when landing jumps, and decelerate, stop, and start with proper body mechanics. They require no special equipment; a typical regimen can be completed in just 30 minutes a week in the space of a yoga mat.
In one study, regular practice reduced all injuries by one-third. The NFL
ACLs?
and NBA have incorporated neuromuscular training into their workout programs.
Yet few high school athletes are trained in the method. The result has been an epidemic of knee injuries.
Each year, surgeons perform about 350,000 ACL reconstructions. But surgery is only a first step. Many athletes will never return to the field.
Rehab typically takes a year, and half of those who tear their ACLs will develop early-onset arthritis within five to 15 years.These athletes are at greater risk of re-tearing their ACLs -- and are seven times more likely to need knee replacements.
Sports leagues have long mandated protective equipment like helmets, pads, and shin guards. Now it's time for them to adopt the same attitude toward the prevention of torn knee ligaments.
I hate having to tell young athletes that their season is over -- and that their dreams of playing competitive sports may be, too. We have an effective way to keep them out of the operating room and on the playing field. Let's use it.

Letters to the Editor
To the Editor: Sprinkled with a few good projects, the current council has clearly failed Encinitas citizens, marred by over six years of incompetence and poor leadership.
They have failed to set aside political party allegiances and prioritize the well-being of Encinitas in every decision.
When they are gone — as is typical of fast-growth
politicians — their beloved, oversized, and overbuilt structures will remain, leaving daily citizens to deal with the consequences.
Not one council member or mayor has made a meaningful effort to collaborate with the dozens of California cities to form a simple alliance to push back against Sacramento’s “stack, pack, and trash the environment” housing policies.
United, these cities could have achieved far better solutions. Has this been the most damaging council and mayor since the city’s incorporation in 1986? Likely. Either way, our Encinitas community and families deserved far better than a legacy of leftover damage control.

Will Trump’s raids hit state economy?
There seems to be no question that President-elect Trump will follow through on his campaign commitment to conduct the largest-ever series of raids aiming to deport undocumented immigrants, whom he prefers to call “illegals.”
If and when this goes forward, much of the effect will hinge on whom the raids target. Trump speaks in general terms about going after all the undocumented, but he has said he will first seek out criminal aliens and those with amnesty cases already rejected by judges, but who remain in this country anyway. More than 1 million persons fall in those categories.
If his effort first targets the criminal element among the undocumented (federal statistics indicate their crime rates are lower than among U.S. citizens and green card holders), the effects on California’s economy and its psyche will be far less than if he goes after everyone here without government authorization.
Trump’s designated “border czar” Tom Homan, head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the previous Trump administration, has said he prefers targeting criminals first, especially those already in U.S. jails for crimes other than unauthorized border crossings.
If Homan is frustrated there, he might send a combination of Border Patrol, Drug Enforcement Agency and FBI agents to California’s many farms, to roofing projects, hotels and restaurants, all places where immigration raids were conducted on Trump’s previous watch.
This might provide easier pickings for Trump’s “biggest deportation ever,” since California officials say they won’t cooperate in ridding their jails of the undocumented. Most recently, California’s senior U.S senator, Alex Padilla (an MIT graduate who is himself the son of Latino immigrants), told CBS’ Face the Nation that California will not “utilize state and local resources to do the federal government’s job for them.”
“That’s just the California way,” Padilla said. “We embrace our diversity, our diversity that’s made our communities thrive and our economy thrive, and so we will assist families against the threats of the Trump administration.”
That’s what the current special legislative session concentrating on funding legal efforts to resist some expected Trump moves is mostly about. Gov. Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers know well that this state hosts about one-third of the estimated 11 million undocumented migrants now in this country.
Businesses and farms
that employ many of them have been largely silent about Trump’s threats, not wanting to provoke him any more than his November loss of California by more than 3.1 million votes already has. Some California farmers also are keeping quiet about immigration issues in part because they would presumably get far more irrigation water under Trump’s proposed policies than they have under President Biden.
Many have complained loudly (and on signs beside highways) that too much potential California farm water is “dumped into the ocean.” Nevertheless, a recent UC Merced study concluded that at least half of California’s estimated 162,000 farmworkers are undocumented, making the Central Valley — America’s richest agricultural area — extra vulnerable to effects of major immigration raids. Of course, raids that cause shortages of products from pears to pistachios, from almonds to apricots, could also lead to food shortages and even worse grocery inflation than America saw last year in a time of supply chain problems.
Hotel prices would also rise if their corps of room cleaners were depleted by immigration raids, and the already problematic price of housing could spike further if they decimate the high percentage of construction workers who are undocumented.
But there would be no such effects if Homan sent federal agents or even federal troops into jails and prisons to roust undocumented criminals from their cells, and that appears the likeliest first move. Yes, their families might be affected or even self-deport under that circumstance, but there would be few economic effects. And Gov. Gavin Newsom has said he would not resist such an effort. Meanwhile, public schools and even county governments are bracing for widespread raids, with specific targets currently unknown. Los Angeles County supervisors, for one example, passed a motion this month to expand funding of legal services for immigrants by $5.5 million.
All of which leaves California and other centers of illegal immigration in a waiting mode, not knowing for sure where the new Trump administration will strike first against the undocumented.

DRUKER’S FAREWELL
Mayor exits after 20 years on council, as new group sworn in
By Leo Place
DEL
MAR —
The city’s longest-serving elected official is retiring from local government and bidding goodbye to Del Mar after 20 years of service.
Mayor Dave Druker, 74, participated in his last Del Mar City Council meeting on Monday as he and his wife Kristen, a local volunteer and retired history teacher, prepare to move this month to Bellevue, Washington, to live closer to their children and grandchildren.
Druker was honored with appreciative comments from the community and proclamations from the City Council, Rep. Mike Levin, Assemblymember Tasha Boerner, state Sen. Catherine Blakespear and county Supervisor Terra Lawsom-Remer.
“I really want to thank the residents of Del Mar. You’ve given me an incredible experience over the past 20 years and seven months,” Druker said. “It has just been an honor to serve you and get to know you.”
That same night, council members Tracey Martinez and Dan Quirk were sworn into second terms,
and newcomer John Spelich was sworn in for his first term. The new four-person council will operate with one vacancy left by former Councilmember Dwight Worden until the 2026 election.
The council unanimously appointed Terry Gaasterland as the city’s new mayor and Martinez as deputy mayor. Unlike other cities where mayors are elected, Del Mar’s two highest vote-getting council members from the past election serve as mayor yearly.
‘Positive impact’
Druker has served five four-year terms on the council, including five rotations as mayor. He was first elected in 1996 and served until 2008, then took a hiatus before being re-elected again in 2016 and serving until 2024.
Community members and fellow council members applauded his wisdom, community engagement, respectful demeanor and practical approach to governance during his tenure. Martinez thanked Druker for his “integrity, honesty and selflessness,” and for taking his role se-
riously. She also credited Druker and his wife for convincing her to run for office in 2020.
“I thank you for the positive impact and legacy you have left behind in Del Mar,” Martinez said.
Similarly, Boerner thanked Druker for sharing his wisdom with her over her eight years in office and all his work over the past 20 years.
“That’s so much that you’ve given to not only Del Mar but our entire region,” Boerner said.
Community members said they would miss seeing Druker walking on the
beach with his corgis, tabling at the farmer’s market, and leading the charge at the annual New Year’s Day Penguin Plunge.
Others noted his service on countless boards and commissions, civic engagement including advocacy regarding city measures, and instrumental role in several initiatives — creating the Clean Energy Alliance, pushing for the relocation of the train tracks off the Del Mar bluffs, protecting the Community Plan, and pushing the city toward a “Guiding Principles” approach to complex issues.
“I want to really just
thank you, Dave. What you’ve given to Del Mar is above and beyond. I don’t know that anyone has served the city more than you have, in terms of the length of years and the depth of service in those years,” said resident Claire McGreal.
The Drukers moved to Del Mar 38 years ago (their home on 10th Street sold for upwards of $4 million earlier this year). Outside of city government, Druker has spent his career working in data, including 26 years as Vice President at DataSkill.
With Druker’s departure and the September retirement of Worden, who
served 10 years on the City Council and as city attorney years earlier, the council is saying goodbye to two sources of deep institutional knowledge.
Druker encouraged the City Council to continue prioritizing reason and relying on guiding principles to navigate complex topics, noting that “saber-rattling” doesn’t get anyone anywhere.
“Del Mar is a unique and fragile place. The internal issues are more threatening than any other, therefore we must continue to honor the Community Plan,” he said.
A Lifeline of Hope: How Food Assistance Gave Melissa a Second Chance
Melissa never imagined she’d need help putting food on the table. Her life, once stable and filled with plans, took a sudden turn when the Great Recession struck. As a newly single mom, she had just started over, determined to provide for her 10-year-old son. But when she lost her job, everything changed.
“It was a lot at once,” Melissa remembers. “I didn’t think I’d be unemployed that long. I was applying for jobs and interviewed constantly, but so was everyone else.”
For the first time, Melissa found herself in a food distribution line. She had always worked hard, never expecting to be in such a position. But accepting help wasn’t easy. Melissa struggled with the stigma attached to food assistance. “I often felt like people were judging me,” she admits. “I didn’t ‘look’ like I needed help. I had nice things because I had been employed — I had clean
clothes and shoes, a car, but I was now struggling to pay bills and feed myself and my son.”
The food Melissa received gave her the strength to keep going. It allowed her to focus on finding a job, to care for her son, and to hold onto hope during an incredibly challenging time. “Knowing there was food in the cabinet eased a lot of the stress. Knowing you have the next meal is a huge load off anyone’s shoulders,” she says.
Imagine if the San Diego Food Bank hadn’t been there for Melissa. Would her son have gone to school hungry? Would she have been able to present her best self at job interviews?
Years later, Melissa is in a much different place. She remarried, raised three sons, and recently became a grandmother. Life is filled with joys like exploring San Diego, decorating for the holidays, and cooking vegetarian meals with her family. But
she’s never forgotten the support that got her through those dark days.
“I’m active in the community now, partly because the community was there when I needed assistance,” she shares. Melissa collects and distributes food for Thanksgiving meals, organizes meal trains for neighbors in need, and helps families facing hardships. “Providing a meal or food for a meal is something so basic, but it has great impact,” she explains.
For Melissa, giving back is more than a kind gesture — it’s her way of paying forward the generosity that once gave her a second chance: “Giving back has made me a better person. It’s my way of thanking the Food Bank and its supporters for helping my family and thousands of other families.”
This holiday season, you can give someone else the chance to rewrite their story. Every $1 provides enough
food to provide two holiday meals to San Diegans in need. To get involved, visit sandiegofoodbank.org/holiday.
Your support ensures families like Melissa’s won’t have to face hunger alone. Together, we can be the lifeline that provides not just food assistance, but hope for the future.

Tips sought to ID woman hit, killed by train
By City News Service
CARLSBAD — Author-
ities reached out to the public today for help in identifying a woman who was fatally struck by a train in August in Carlsbad.
A northbound Coaster train hit the woman, believed to have been 50 to 60 years old, on a stretch of rails near Carlsbad Boulevard about 7:30 p.m. Aug. 12, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office.
NamUs, a national clearinghouse that centralizes information about missing and unidentified, person cases, reported that the train’s engineer noted the woman had been laying down in the tracks at the time of the collision.
She died at the scene.
The woman, believed to be Caucasian, was about 5 feet, 3 inches tall, weighed roughly 110 pounds and had curly brown hair, brown eyes and several tattoos, including the “Om” symbol alongside a distinct text containing an unidentified message on her left forearm, the

agency reported. Attempts to identify the woman via her fingerprints have been unsuccessful.
Anyone who might be able to help identify her is asked to call the medical examiner at (858) 694-2905.
Two injured in Encinitas collision
Two people were hospitalized on Dec. 7 after a two-vehicle collision in Encinitas.
Deputies from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office’s North Coastal Station responded at 9:55 p.m. Fri-
day to a collision involving two vehicles at the intersection of Santa Fe and Lake drives, the Sheriff’s Office said.
According to preliminary information from the Sheriff’s Office, a 24-yearold man was driving a 2003 Toyota Tacoma east on Santa Fe Drive and continued through the intersection of Lake Drive.
Simultaneously, a 16-year-old girl driving a 2016 Nissan Frontier west on Santa Fe Drive turned south onto Lake Drive in front of the Tacoma on a “left turn yield” green light

when the two vehicles collided.
The Tacoma overturned, and the driver was ejected from the vehicle. He was transported to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla with life-threatening injuries, and a 23-year-old passenger who was also in the Tacoma was taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla with non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said.
The use of alcohol or drugs is not believed to be a factor in the collision.
The driver of the Frontier remained on scene and was uninjured following the collision.
Motorists cited for traffic violations in Esco operation
A total of 67 motorists were pulled over and cited by police for various traffic violations in an enforcement operation in Escondido, such as speeding, driving without a license and using cell phones while driving, authorities said this week.
The operation was con-
ducted by the Escondido Police Department from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday and included traffic stops for sign and signal violations, according to an EPD statement. Both vehicles drivers and motorcyclists were cited.
The operation was funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Man sentenced 60 years to life for teacher’s murder
A man who opened fire on a car in Oceanside, leaving a young teacher dead, was sentenced Dec. 5 to 60 years to life in state prison, though that sentence will be served at the same time as an 89-year-to-life sentence the man is already serving for other charges in the case.
Vicente Huerta, 27, was found guilty in two separate trials for the June 4, 2022, shooting that killed 22-yearold Chelsea Pacheco.
The 60-year-to-life
term imposed last Thursday will be served concurrently with the previous 89-yearto-life sentence.
According to Oceanside police, Pacheco and others were in a car at about 11:30 a.m. when the driver got into an argument with Huerta, who was a pedestrian near the intersection of Grant and Division streets.
Huerta opened fire as the car drove off, police said. Pacheco, who was sitting in the backseat, was shot. She was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Huerta was arrested in Mexico about two months later.
Colleagues said Pacheco was a teacher at KinderCare in Oceanside, known affectionately to students as “Ms. Chelsea.’’ A GoFundMe page created by one of her co-workers described Pacheco as “a beloved teacher’’ and “the sweetest, most lovable person you could ever meet with a big heart. She always came to work with a bright smile on her face, ready to spread joy and laughter throughout the school.’’
Fire destroys O’side home; firefighter injured on scene
Neighbors help rescue man from burning house
By City News Service
OCEANSIDE — A fire destroyed a home after it started in the garage from an unattended cigarette and spread into the residence, with one firefighter receiving a knee injury while carrying a bedridden man from the home, the Oceanside Fire Department said Monday.
A resident of the home at 4455 La Quinta Place called the fire department at 3:37 p.m. Sunday to report the fire, which fully engulfed the residence with a bedridden man still inside, the OPD said in a statement.
Arriving firefighters found heavy smoke blowing out of an open garage door, the statement said. They
also found the previously bedridden man in the backyard after neighbors took him out of the home.
Before a ladder truck could cut a ventilation hole in the attic, three large explosions from superheated oxygen tanks were felt from inside the home, the OPD statement said.
Fire crews outside the home directed hose streams into the home and prevent-
ed the fire from damaging nearby homes. The previously trapped occupant was taken to a hospital for further evaluation, the OPD said. At 4:52 p.m., the fire was extinguished and declared contained.
An OFD fire investigator’s initial findings indicated the fire started in the garage from an unattended cigarette.

Bucky, Suki join San Diego’s trending pet names
By City News Service
REGION — Luna is the most popular name for both dogs and cats in San Diego, according to an industry report released this week, but names such as Bucky and Suki are on the rise in popularity for our furry friends.
According to Rover. com, an online marketplace for pet supplies, the most popular dog name in the
United States is Charlie, while the most purrfect cat name is Milo.
“The pet names we choose are a look into our latest cultural obsessions and our sources of joy,'' said Nicole Ellis, pet trainer and panelist on the Rover report. “This year's report reads like the magazines we used to love flipping through — the names are
equal parts tabloid-worthy and total comfort food.''
In San Diego, the top five pup names are Luna, Bella, Daisy, Charlie and Milo. For cats, it's Luna, Milo, Oliver, Cleo and Mochi. The aforementioned Bucky is the top “growth name'' in the county for dogs, with Suki for cats.
Other names trending in the region may have
something to do with their owner's appetite.
Barley, Biscuit, Brownie, Waffles and Boba all saw a marked increase in use over last year. Additionally, Charlotte, Mickey and Ziggy have increased by more than 200% since last year, the report found.
Nationwide, the name Bluey has been used much more frequently, likely ow-
ing its success to the Australian Heeler pup on young children's screens.
Sports names such as Brunson, Wemby, Kelce and others are on the rise, as are culinary names such as Calzone, Chive, and Provolone — all are up 211% compared to last year.
Even our pets are subject to the might of Swifties, with the Rover report find-
ing “Taylor Swift'' as a name increased 461% for dogs and 459% for cats. Results of the report are based on analysis of millions of user- submitted pet names provided by pet parents on Rover.com. The top 20 trending pet names are based on yearover-year growth with a minimum of 200 pets added in 2024, per name.

City, SeaWorld settle lawsuit over back rent
By City News Service
SAN DIEGO — The city of San Diego and SeaWorld have settled their lawsuit in which city officials alleged the park failed to pay more than $12.2 million in rent, late fees and interest.
The settlement has SeaWorld paying $8.5 million to the city and providing:
• Complimentary season passes to area teachers on an annual basis for five years;
• One free admission each year to active duty military and veterans for five years;
• 1,000 SeaWorld admission tickets that the city will provide to local school districts.
In its lawsuit, the city alleged that SeaWorld underpaid rent between Jan. 1, 2019, and April 30, 2022, while SeaWorld argued the payments were waived because the theme park was forced to shut down during the coronavirus pandemic.
City officials said the park was the only one of 800 city tenants with similar lease agreements in default for unpaid rent since the pandemic began.
er substances can also impair judgment and reaction times.
“If you see a driver who appears to be impaired, call 911,” the department advised.
The enforcement campaign is funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
“Let’s make this a joyful and safe holiday season for everyone on the road,” DeVelasco said. “We urge people to act responsibly and plan a sober ride home.”
Gao, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy in the San Dieguito Union High School District, was one of just two California students chosen for the competitive program.
“I am incredibly proud of and impressed by these extraordinary students, who are doing so much in their schools and communities to make a difference in the lives of others,’’ Thurmond said. “Their significant accomplishments speak to their impressive character and dedication. They will make excellent representatives for California.’’
Bode Gower, a senior at Ukiah High School in the Ukiah Unified School Dis-
trict, was the other senator selected. The first alternate is James Miller of Oxnard, a senior at Westlake High School in the Conejo Valley Union High School District.

Board adopts new immigration policy
Critics slam move as betrayal of public trust
By Karen Weil, CNS
SAN
DIEGO
— The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 3-1 on Dec. 10 to restrict the use of county resources for federal immigration enforcement.
Board Chairwoman Nora Vargas said the policy “is designed to ensure local resources are focused on addressing the county’s most urgent needs while protecting families and promoting community trust.’’
“Immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility, and our county will not be a tool for policies that hurt our residents,’’ said Vargas, who made the proposal.
According to a board letter, the policy directs the chief administrative officer to “report back within 180 days on the data related to any transfers or notifications during the past year to federal immigration authorities and provide recommendations” on how to implement it effectively.
The board letter states that “immigrant communities form an integral part of our county’s social fabric. When federal immigration authorities, including the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and U.S. Border Patrol, coerce local law enforcement to carry out deportations, family members are separated, and community trust in law enforcement and local government is destroyed.’’
Vargas, Vice Chair Terra Lawson-Remer and Supervisor Monica Montgomery Steppe voted yes, while Supervisor Jim Desmond was the lone no vote. Officials said Supervisor Joel Anderson was absent due to illness.
In a statement, Desmond said the decision “to turn San Diego County into a ‘super’ sanctuary county is an affront to every law-abiding citizen who values safety and justice.’’
“The Board of Supervisors’ 3-1 vote to embrace

this radical policy is a direct betrayal of the people we are sworn to protect,’’ he added.
The vote followed a lengthy public hearing, which was interrupted at one point by screaming from the gallery. Vargas then called for a brief recess.
More than 100 people offered feedback, with supporters stressing that migrants deserved protection and opponents saying the resolution violated federal policies.
Robert Hicks of the Anti-Defamation League of San Diego said the new county policy would keep families together. Immigrants and refugees “are an integral part of our society,’’ he said.
Patricia Mondragon of Alliance San Diego said county Sheriff Kelly Martinez has said she doesn’t have enough staff to respond to Citizens Law Enforcement Review Board concerns. In contrast, staff has been used for federal immigration enforcement.
“Right now, I’m more fearful for our safety when elected leaders rage-tweet misinformation to create division and hate,’’ Mondragon added.
According to a Times of San Diego article Tuesday, Martinez said her office “will protect the rights of undocumented individuals and follow state law in dealing with federal immigration enforcement.’’
San Diego resident Eli Komai described the policy as “toothless and more posturing.’’
He added that people come to the United States for safety and freedom, and gangsters thrive in lawless places. “If you cross here illegally, then you’re a criminal,’’ Komai said.
Citing victims of violent crime committed by undocumented migrants — including Laken Riley, a Georgia nursing student — Kim Yeater of Take Our Border Back said, “We the people say no on (agenda item) 29.’’
“Show up and protect us,’’ Yeater added. Before voting, Desmond also cited people killed or otherwise victimized by undocumented migrants as one reason to oppose the new county policy.

The Escondido City Council unanimously approved a 20-year ground lease with Round1 Bowling & Arcade for the mall’s three-level former anchor department store. The agreement includes a base rent of $100,000 annually, and the city expects to collect $2.7 million in total rent payments over the lease’s term.
Round1 plans to utilize all three floors of the space, offering activities such as bowling, karaoke, Japanese arcade and video games, darts, trampolines, billiards, ping pong, batting cages, roller skating, and more.
The venue will also serve food and beverages, including beer, wine, and spirits for adult patrons.
The Round1 concept began in Japan in the early 1980s when founder Masahiko Sugino launched a roller skating facility with arcade games under the company name Sugino Kosan.
By 1993, the business had grown into Round1, adding bowling and other activities. The company now
Bogus bomb threat made at Harrah’s

VALLEY CENTER —
An unfounded bomb threat prompted a law enforcement search of Harrah's Resort Southern California on Dec. 9.
An anonymous caller prompted the morning emergency at the gaming and entertainment center in Valley Center, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Office.
During an ensuing search of the premises, resort employees found an unattended backpack and cleared people from the immediate area “out of an abundance of caution,'' sheriff's Sgt. Brendan Cook said.
Authorities then inspected the bag and found nothing dangerous inside it.
Deputies proceeded to conduct a sweep of the entire resort with contraband-sniffing service dogs, discovering nothing amiss, Cook said.
operates more than 100 locations across Japan.
Round1 entered the U.S. market in 2010 with its first location near Los Angeles in the City of Industry. It has since expanded to over 50 locations nationwide, including nearby National City and Temecula facilities.
The company’s unique offerings include a sports challenge complex known as “Spo-Cha,” where customers can enjoy a variety of sports and entertainment activities for a fixed daily price.
According to the company’s website, Spo-Cha provides a distinctive experience that differentiates it from competitors.
Escondido Mayor Dane
White shared his enthusiasm for the project.
“We’ve been teased about this for a year,” White said, adding that Round1 is a favorite for his family after visiting the Temecula location for his daughter’s birthday. “It’s going to be a game changer – not only for that property but for families in Escondido as a whole. It’s going to be fantastic for Escondido.”
The family entertainment center is expected to create approximately 100 jobs. Developers plan to begin construction on the $22 million project in 2025.
North County Mall opened in the mid-1980s during a boom period for
shopping malls.
Recently, city leaders have been exploring ways to build revenue while simultaneously revitalizing the shopping center, even discussing the possibility of housing on the largely cityowned property.
Steerpoint Capital and Bridge Group Investments purchased the mall from Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield in February 2023 for $57 million, with plans for revitalization. Only Macy’s and JCPenney remain in the original anchor stores after Sears and Nordstrom closed in 2020. Costco backed out of plans to move into the former Sears building.

Vista, San Marcos bid farewell to council retirees
New officials sworn in after election finalized
By Leo Place REGION
— Two North County inland cities bid farewell to retiring council members and welcomed newly elected members following Tuesday's results of the November election.
In Vista, retiring eightyear Councilmember Joe Green received a warm send-off from city staff and fellow council members, who recognized the District 2 official for his largerthan-life personality, indisputable love for the city and ability to get things done.
Green has been instrumental in creating the city’s thriving, regulated cannabis marketplace, which brought in over $7 million in sales tax revenue this past year.
City leaders applauded him for drawing on his own lived experiences growing up in Vista to connect with residents and shape policy to improve the city.
“You have forever changed this city for the best. It’s incredible to see how you have grown into such a master leader; this is your art,” said Councilmember Corinna Contreras.
While city leaders were sad to see him go, Green assured them he would re-
main involved in the community. He has expressed interest in continuing to help create opportunities for cannabis businesses.
“I’m excited to remain here,” Green said.
Mayor John Franklin said he looked forward to seeing Green’s continued advocacy and work in the community outside the council and thanked him for being a uniting voice in divisive times.
“You’ve brought us together in times we didn’t
think we could come together,” Franklin said.
Katie Melendez was sworn in for a second term representing District 3 after defeating Denisse Barragan in November with around 55% of the vote, and newcomer Jeff Fox was sworn in after winning the District 2 race against Anthony White with around 62%.
In San Marcos, Councilmember Sharon Jenkins said goodbye after 12 years on the council. Prior
to serving on the city level, Jenkins worked 14 years on the San Marcos Unified School District Board of Trustees, for a total of 26 years in elected office.
“To those of you who played an important role in helping me to be the person and the public servant that I am today, I say thank you,” Jenkins said, speaking through tears on Tuesday.
Current and past council members said Jenkins had been an invaluable mentor and highlighted
her involvement in crucial city efforts, including the completion of the Creek District (located within her home district), the approval of several landmark buildings, and her leadership in the Measure Q sales tax campaign, which led to it being passed by a large margin in November.
Mayor Rebecca Jones said that during her tenure on the San Marcos School Board from 1998 to 2012, Jenkins led the district during a transformative time when the student population and the district were growing and improving.
“Thank you for being such a mentor, for being a friend, for being a colleague. We are so fortunate that you chose San Marcos to be your home, because
we have all benefitted from you in so many ways,” said Councilmember María Nuñez.
During the same meeting, District 4 Councilmember Ed Musgrove was sworn in for a second term, and Danielle LeBlang took her oath of office to fill the seat left by Jenkins.
“I have big shoes to fill. I absolutely do, and we have an amazing staff here, and I just could not be more thrilled and proud and honored to represent this city. I cannot wait to build on our success and stay on our positive path,” LeBlang said.
Musgrove defeated challenger Natasha Zander Hilmes in the November election with around 65% of the vote, and LeBlang bested opponent Alan Geraci with just over 57%.

Grape Day Park play structure to be removed
City says cracks in grapevine limbs pose safety risks
By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO —
Due to safety concerns, the city is removing the signature grapevine playground structure at Grape Day Park.
For 22 years, Vinehenge has served as a public art piece and playground next to the Escondido History Center in Grape Day Park.
Installed by Nature Works in 2002, the playground features a structure featuring oversized grapevines for children to climb on, a slide decorated with oversized grapes, benches shaped like grape leaves and faux rocks around the perimeter.
Vinehenge is a public art project with an interactive design that replaced the previous “Legacy” treehouse and climbing structure at Grape Day Park. Public art funding paid for the structure’s installation, which cost the city $167,000.
Over time, however, cracks began to form in the Vinehenge’s grapevine
limbs, with the most recent appearing in early 2023. Today, there are approximately 54 cracks throughout the entire structure, and two sections are missing.
Vinehenge was officially closed and sectioned off permanently last summer after a safety inspection of the play structure found significant degradation of the metal substructure in the limbs designed to support each other and the overall structure.
“The overall integrity of the structure was severely compromised,” Escondido Park Manager Wayne Thames told City Council on Dec. 4.
Nature Works, the original artist and company behind Vinehenge, requested that the city donate the structure to the primate department at the San Diego Zoo once it is removed.
City staff will begin exploring playground alternatives to replace Vinehenge and carry on its legacy at Grape Day Park.
Councilmember Consuelo Martinez wants to see the new playground structure pay homage to the city’s agricultural history.
“This will be a great move forward with a safe new playground,” Martinez said. “I know children have been waiting.”

Encinitas OKs revised Piraeus townhome project
Despite ongoing local opposition, project advances
By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS —
The Encinitas City Council approved revisions to Piraeus Point, a townhome development at Piraeus Street and Plato Place in Leucadia, during a special meeting Dec. 4.
The council’s approval advances the controversial project that has faced pushback from residents over environmental and safety concerns.
The revised project reduces the total number of units from 149 to 134, including 14 deed-restricted affordable units, while increasing open space conservation by 0.9 acres.
The developer also modified retaining wall heights and adjusted project waivers to exceed building height limits for rooftop elements and mechanical equipment.
The revisions stem from a settlement agreement between the city, Lennar Homes and the Endangered Habitats League, after a lawsuit aimed to address biological preservation concerns.
The complaint, filed by the Endangered Habitats League in October 2023, alleged the city approved the project despite the doc-
umented presence of federally protected animal species, such as the coastal California gnatcatcher, and threatened native plants, namely coastal sage scrub and southern maritime chaparral.
Southern maritime chaparral is a rare shrub habitat consisting of several unique plant species native to the coastal area, particularly Encinitas, and is considered threatened after decades of coastal development.
“The revised project reduces impacts to biological resources while increasing the conservation area onsite,” said project planner Esteban Danna, noting the
adjustments complied with the city’s general plan and state density bonus laws.
Residents, however, voiced strong opposition, citing inadequate affordable housing, environmental degradation, and traffic impacts.
Others criticized the lack of transparency in the project’s settlement process.
Despite the concerns, the council unanimously approved the revisions, with Councilmember Bruce Ehlers absent.
Some council members expressed disappointment over the project’s loss of participation in the Sand Compatibility and Opportunistic Use Program (SCOOP),
because it is so much sediment that we could use for our beaches,” said Councilmember Kellie Hinze.

Fred Lara Encinitas resident
“Here on this project, Lennar, a company that had $4 billion in profit, is asking the poor to give to the rich,” said longtime resident Fred Lara, adding the easement approval “is criminal incompetence to make such a deal.”
Lennar representatives defended the easement, emphasizing the company’s plans to reuse soil from the project on another development site, saving nearly $1 million in costs.
The council’s approvals mark the next step for the Piraeus Point project, which has been reduced in scope but remains a flashpoint in the community.
ally good idea when it took place, and to see it lost by the incentive that has taken is a little bit disappointing
idents decried the decision, arguing the land was undervalued and should remain under city control.
City staff said the $1.8 million easement payment will go to the city’s general fund, and future discussions are expected on how to allocate the funds for local improvements.

Herb & Sea: East Coast flavor, California charm
& food
Encinitas is home to many fantastic dining destinations, but none quite like Herb & Sea. Blending classic East Coast culinary traditions with a modern Californian sensibility, this restaurant is Chef Brian Malarkey and Chris Puffer’s coastal companion to the acclaimed Herb & Wood in Little Italy.
Malarkey is a nationally recognized chef who has created 15 successful restaurants, including Herb & Wood and Animae. Known for his appearances on "Top Chef: All-Stars" and "Guy’s Grocery Games," Malarkey brings expertise and creativity to all his projects. Since opening in November 2019, just before the pandemic, Herb & Sea has established itself as one of the most sought-after reservations in town.
When Frank and I arrived on a Wednesday evening, the energy was electric, with a line of eager diners already forming at the door before opening. By 6:30 p.m., the restaurant was buzzing,
nearly at capacity. Upon entering, we were greeted by the enticing aromas of woodfired meats and seafood and the warm glow of art deco-inspired decor.
Executive Chef Aidan Owens, an Australia native, oversees the Herb & Sea kitchen. Growing up on a farm near Byron Bay, Owens developed a passion for fresh, seasonal ingredients and international flavors. At Herb & Sea, he masterfully blends
Mediterranean influences with local California produce and seafood, working closely with purveyors like Dassi Farms and fisherman John Law. Owens changes the menu seasonally, ensuring each dish reflects the best of what’s fresh and available.
San Diego native Luke Ruiz, Herb & Sea’s general manager since 2021, brings a decade of hospitality experience to the restaurant. Our server, Andrea Carre-

no, was exceptional. Warm, vibrant and knowledgeable, Andrea walked us through the menu, shared insights into the restaurant’s freshsqueezed cocktail philosophy and made stellar recommendations throughout the evening.
Owens created an exceptional lineup of starters that showcased his knack for balancing bold and nuanced flavors. The Sumac Tomatoes were a standout,
The Beef Carpaccio paired razor-thin cut, tender filet mignon with a caramelized onion dip, arugula and a caprese vinaigrette, creating a harmonious blend of textures and flavors.
The Hoecake & Caviar was a delightful balance of savory and sweet, combining smoked striped sea bass rillette with brown butter corn cake and honey butter drizzle. Lastly, the Lamb Meatballs, with cucumber tabbouleh, zhug and pomegranate, packed bold Mediterranean flavors that left a lasting impression.
Frank paired his start-
ers with a glass of Jordan Chardonnay, a classic white wine that complemented the vibrant flavors. I enjoyed the Little Stickler, a bold cocktail with three chili-infused Santo tequila, prickly pear, lime and Tajín, before trying the H&S Old Fashioned, a modern take on the classic, featuring bourbon, amaro lucano, cynar, honey and an orange twist.
The entrées at Herb & Sea were extraordinary, with each dish showcasing impeccable technique and bold flavors. The Seared Local Halibut, sourced from Law, featured a golden crust that gave way to tender, flaky fish. Served with toasted orzo chorizo risotto, braised fen-

Craft dumplings delight
By Charli Shinstine ENCINITAS —
North County’s dining scene welcomes a new addition with the opening of The Dumpling Bar, a traditional Chinese dumpling restaurant in Encinitas Village.
The restaurant, which opened in mid-September at 119 N El Camino Real Ste E, offers house-made dumplings, soups, salads, vegan dessert buns, and boba milk tea.
“We chose to open our restaurant in Encinitas because we recognized an opportunity to introduce more diverse Chinese cuisine to the community, enhancing the already vibrant dining scene,” said Shuai Liu, a representative of The Dumpling Bar. “Our goal is to enrich the community with more dining options, and we hope our food will be something everyone enjoys.”
Owners Yingkang Lu and Xiaoxi Zhang also manage several San Diego area restaurants, including Kanpai BBQ & Shabu, Taste of Hong Kong and China Max restaurant in Kearny Mesa. Since a fire closed China Max in 2020, the restaurant has been under renovation

nel and sungold tomatoes, the dish was an exquisite balance of richness and depth.
The Grilled Local Swordfish, sourced from Andrew Hemstreet, was tender and succulent. Smoked jalapeño yogurt lent a creamy, spicy undertone, while sumac onion and Granny Smith apple added fresh, tangy notes that elevated the dish.
The Grilled Half Peri Peri Chicken, featuring Mary’s Organic chicken, brought bold, spicy flavors to the table. The ruby agrodolce provided a tangy glaze, while toum and Moroccan herbs added depth to this perfectly grilled dish. The Embered Beets cooked in coals also stood out with their smoky, caramelized sweetness complemented with pistachio butter, date vinaigrette,
and is expected to reopen this summer.
Since its soft opening on Sept. 16, The Dumpling Bar has operated as a single location, serving lunch and dinner daily from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 5-8:30 p.m.
Handcrafted dumplings, made fresh daily in view of customers, are a key feature of the menu. Highlights include xiao long bao (soup dumplings), chicken wontons with chili sauce and custard buns. Traditional hot green tea is available and beer options are expected soon.
Liu said the restaurant is focused on building famil-
pickled onions and crispy shallots.
We paired our entrees with Paso Robles Niner Cabernet Sauvignon. The richness of the entrées was perfectly balanced by the wine’s structured profile.
Andrea encouraged us to try the Carajillo, an offthe-menu Mexican-inspired after-dinner cocktail made with Licor 43 and fresh orange zest. This rich, aromatic drink was the perfect match for Herb & Sea’s exceptional desserts.
The Date Cake, served with butterscotch sauce, candied walnut and hazelnut gelato, was instantly my favorite, combining warm, comforting flavors with a touch of elegance.

“Instead of pushing for new items, we want to build up a taste of memory for the community we serve,” Liu said.
Often associated with New Year celebrations, dumplings typially consist of fillings ranging from ground meats like chicken, beef, or pork to vegetables and dessert fillings like red bean, black sesame or chocolate.
the Date Cake slightly edged out as the star of the dessert course.
Herb & Sea’s Happy Hour is Tuesday to Friday, from 5 to 6 p.m. Guests can even make reservations, a rare convenience for happy hour. A favorite is the Happy Meal, which includes a smash burger, three West Coast oysters, crispy frites and a glass of Prosecco for just $20. It’s a deal that feels too good to be true and a perfect excuse to stop by after work.
Herb & Sea isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a place where every detail from the food to the drinks to the hospitality comes together perfectly. If you are looking for a dining experience that’s as vibrant as it is delicious, Herb & Sea is a must-visit destination. More at herbandsea. com.

DOJ probe into SANDAG won’t result in charges
By City News Service
Criminal charges will not be filed against the San Diego Association of Governments or its employees following the conclusion of a federal Department of Justice investigation regarding its contracting practices, it was recently announced.
In a statement, SANDAG did not elaborate on the nature of the federal investigation other than to state that “it focused on
the contracting activities of SANDAG and whether those activities had violated federal law.”
SANDAG further noted that it “was not provided with complete information about the nature and scope of the investigation.”
DOJ officials could not be reached for comment.
While SANDAG was recently scrutinized for its toll collection practices, prompting a lawsuit alleging drivers on state
tries, stating that none of the termination notices followed the requirements of the Tenant Protection Act and were, therefore, void.
Route 125 were massively overcharged, it’s uncertain whether that was the focus of the investigation.
In its Friday statement, SANDAG said it was taking measures to bolster its internal operations and improve its business practices.
“Consistent with previous findings by agency management, the Office of the Independent Performance Auditor, and other external audits, substantive improvements are being

gets.’’
The SANDAG board continues to wrestle with the fact that it was kept in the dark about issues related to the SR-125 tolling system, and several members remain suspicious about who else knew about these issues early on.
Recent audits completed by SANDAG’s Independent Performance Auditor Courtney Ruby confirmed that agency executives were aware of significant finan-
a “mitigation plan” ordering the ranch to rescind the unlawful termination notices and provide relocation benefits equal to three times the last month's rent to each of the tenants who have already vacated the park.
“Failure to timely comply with the above-listed Mitigation Plan may be evidence that GOR and GORM acted ‘willfully or with oppression, fraud, or malice,’ triggering their liability for ‘punitive damages,’ including statutory penalties ‘up to three times the actual damages,’” the CSA states in the letter.
CSA added that any reissued termination notices must follow the Tenant Protection Act.
Dorinda De Jong did not respond to requests for comment. Hannah Gailey, director of Green Oak Ranch Ministries, said religious organizations are exempt from the Tenant Protection Act, making their evictions lawful.
“Green Oak Ranch Ministries is a 501c3 nonprofit and has the legal designation of a religious organization, therefore [Senate Bill] 567 does not apply, and our evictions are, in fact, legal,” Gailey said.
The updated Tenant Protection Act under SB 567 states that the protections do not apply to housing accommodations in a nonprofit hospital, religious facility, extended care facility, licensed residential care facility for the elderly, or adult residential facility.
Since the notices were issued, city personnel have also visited the park to connect tenants with housing and other assistance programs, successfully relocating several tenants. As of last month, the city said most households had found new accommodations.
City spokesperson Fred Tracey said the city referred the eviction notices to CSA San Diego County to better help RV tenants understand their rights.

Ruby’s office also found that when SANDAG rushed into a $28 million sole-source contract with Deloitte and A-To-Be to migrate over the back office system technology earlier this year, the agency failed to ensure that its financial accounting needs would be met.
pand its Solutions Academy, a program for families experiencing homelessness, specifically to provide additional housing and workforce development training.
The Green Oak Ranch board put the parcel up for sale around a year after the passing of the land’s former owner, Arie de Jong, last April.
After a competitive bidding process for the land, which included offers from Solutions and the County of San Diego, the nonprofit was awarded a 10-year lease in July, with exclusive rights to purchase the land for $10.5 million.
In preparation for Solutions for Change’s arrival, the Green Oak Ranch board ordered Green Oak Ranch Ministries to vacate all its programs and subtenants from the land.
The nonprofit is also relocating its recovery program to another area of the ranch, and a popular summer camp and retreat center will be shut down.
Following news reports about the evictions, Solutions for Change issued a statement stating that they had received undue criticism regarding the situation. The nonprofit said that while it may operate an RV park in the future, it is currently not up to code and would require a significant financial investment.
“Solutions for Change has expressed interest in potentially reopening some of the programs currently operated by Green Oak Ranch Ministries, including the RV park, under our management. However, as responsible organizational leaders and program managers it is imperative that any new program meet three key criteria: That it be legally operated, financially viable, and fit programmatically within our existing highly successful model,” the statement said.
“Since this letter was issued, the remaining tenants in the RV park have retained their own personal legal counsel. As this matter remains a landlord-tenant issue between the tenants, Green Oak Ranch, and Green Oak Ranch Ministries, the City of Vista refers all future inquiries to these parties and/or their attorneys,” Tracey said.
Solutions for Change plans to use the land to ex-
Solutions also said Green Oak Ranch Ministries could offer free housing and low rents because they leased the 110-acre property for $1 per year, while Solutions is paying market-rate rent for the lease.
Solutions has also worked to connect residents with housing and other services, including offering participation in its sober-living program. Green Oak Ranch Ministries has also offered some services to tenants.

Escondido launches pilot to regulate rentals
City approves its first-ever effort to regulate industry
By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO — The
Escondido City Council has approved a three-year pilot program to regulate short-term vacation rentals, marking the city’s first effort to impose rules on the estimated 181 rentals operating without oversight.
The program, set to begin July 1, 2025, aims to address safety concerns, neighborhood impacts and revenue generation for the city.
Escondido’s city code is silent on short-term rentals, and this lack of regulation has prompted residents to complain about nuisance properties and concerns about unregulated operations.
The council voted 4-1 in favor of the pilot program, requiring short-term rental hosts to obtain business licenses, short-term rental permits and transient occupancy tax (TOT) registration certificates.
Rentals will also be subject to safety inspections and regulations, including limits on the number of guests, proximity to schools and neighborhood parking use.
cense and associated permits.”
The program prohibits events like weddings and limits occupancy to two guests per bedroom plus two additional guests. Properties must also comply with parking restrictions and maintain clear noise, trash, and safety rules.
The city will require permit holders to notify the city within 30 days of any changes to ownership and will conduct inspections before issuing permits or renewals.
Licenses will be valid only for the duration of the business license and are non-transferable, automatically expiring upon property sale or transfer.
ground, raising worries among some parents about who might be staying so close to children.
Smith also pointed out that, unlike hotels and RV parks with onsite management, short-term rentals are often “unregulated” and typically allow guests to check in without a host present.
“I urge you to prioritize the needs of Escondido residents,” Smith said. “If you go forward with it, manage these effectively and keep the 500 feet (school) ban.”
Councilmember Consuelo Martinez cast the sole dissenting vote, opposing additional short-term rentals beyond the estimated 181 currently operating in the city.
Martinez advocated for an outright ban to address the region’s housing shortage.
“There could be unsafe or illegal operations occurring,” said Jennifer Schoeneck, the city’s economic development director. “We currently do not have a mechanism through code compliance or through the police department to track the complaints against short-term rentals.”
942 homes — will be allowed to operate as shortterm rentals.
The new program limits short-term rentals to single-family homes, duplexes, townhomes, and certain multifamily properties. Multifamily units will face strict caps, and only 2% of the city’s housing stock — approximately
Rentals in accessory dwelling units, income-restricted housing, vehicles, sheds, trailers, garages and properties created through Senate Bill 9 applications are prohibited. Rentals may not be within 500 feet of a school.
Hosts will need a business license, a short-term rental permit, and a TOT registration certificate. They must also pay a 10% TOT, a $250 annual fee,
and a $231 inspection fee. Violations of the regulations could result in gradually higher fines for the first three infractions ($1,000, $3,000 and $5,000, respectively) within 12 months; three violations within a year will also lead to permit revocation.
“For me, banning short-term rentals was never on the table,” said Mayor Dane White. “At the same time, you can’t have the wild, wild west, and in order to do business in the city you need to have a li-
Short-term rental operators voiced concerns about the new rules, particularly the 500-foot ban near schools. Mo Rashid, who operates rentals in the region, said the restriction unfairly penalizes responsible hosts.
“By targeting one or two homes saying that those are party homes, you’re impacting 24 other families,” Rashid said, suggesting the city adopt a 300-foot ban similar to RV parks and hotels.
Resident Mary Smith said a nearby short-term rental had disturbed the tranquility of her quiet neighborhood. She expressed concern that the property overlooks a play-
“If we were to ban them, we’d have over 100 vacancies that would happen practically overnight,” Martinez said. “Imagine that many people could find a place to live.”
Escondido joins other North County cities like Carlsbad and Oceanside in regulating short-term rentals. San Marcos bans them outright, while Vista and Poway lack formal regulations. The council will evaluate the program as applications increase, with a cap of 250 permits initially allowed before further council review.
RAIN, WIND, AND FIRE...

City welcomes whimsical ‘Neptune Jr.’ sculpture
By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS —
The city of Encinitas is preparing to welcome a whimsical new addition to its public art collection: "Neptune Jr.," a sculpture depicting a cherub riding a hammerhead shark.
Created by San Diego-based artist Sergey Gornushkin, the piece will be installed at Leucadia Oaks Park in early 2025, following a rigorous selection process by the city’s Arts Commission and approval from the City Council.
While the temporary installation has sparked excitement and debate, it represents a unique intersection of art, conservation, and community engagement.
Gornushkin described the sculpture, which will rest atop a 15-foot column, as a playful yet purposeful work of art.
“The idea behind the sculpture is to create awareness for marine protection,” Gornushkin told The Coast News. “The sculpture depicts a hammerhead shark with Cupid riding it. Cupid is a messenger of hope and peace and a new beginning.”
The cherub’s carefree stance atop the shark aligns with Encinitas’ active culture, where surfing, skating, and other outdoor activities are part of daily life.
out for its surprising and uplifting design, earning praise for its connection to the park’s coastal location and its engaging, story-like quality.
shark.
“It’s going to be at a park where there are skaters, so everybody’s riding something, just like the cherub is riding the shark,” Gornushkin said.
The sculpture's title, "Neptune Jr.," reflects his hope for the next generation.
The artist’s commitment to marine conservation runs deep. As president of the San Diego Sculptors Guild, Gornushkin has worked extensively on projects promoting environmental awareness, particularly through his gallery in Baja California, which collaborates with local universities on marine habitat restoration.
“It’s kind of an homage to my son, hopefully following in my footsteps, and to other kids in the new generation being aware of marine ecosystems and trying to protect them,” he said.
The piece’s journey to Leucadia Oaks Park began with an expedited call for submissions issued by the city’s Arts Commission. The jury, composed of community members and commissioners, reviewed six proposals for two park locations.
Public feedback also played a critical role in the decision. A survey conducted in October 2024 gathered 414 responses, with
“The piece has no religious connotation, and the cherub is a messenger of hope and peace,” Gornushkin said. “It was just a playful, fun idea with a good message.”
The sculpture was unanimously approved at a November council meeting.
the installation's temporary nature — the sculpture will remain in place for two years as part of the city’s public art loan program.
“It’s a low-risk opportunity to enhance public spaces,” he said. Fox echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of public art in fostering community engagement.
“Everyone seems to want something that shifts the moment in an uplifting way, a surprise encounter that unifies us in new perspectives and celebrates our unique culture here in Encinitas,” she said.
Commissioner Katy Fox highlighted the considerations that went into the selection process.
“We looked at aesthetic qualities, like how the sculptures would be seen at specific sites, how they cast shadows, and how they fit within the surrounding environment,” she said, adding that Neptune Jr. stood
94% of comments about Neptune Jr. being positive.
“People said things like, ‘This is awesome,’ ‘playful,’ and ‘abstract,’” Fox said.
Despite the overwhelming support, some residents raised concerns, including objections to perceived religious connotations or the depiction of a boy riding a
Artist Sergey Gornushkin Creator of ‘Neptune Jr.’
Mayor Tony Kranz supported the installation, acknowledging its potential to spark conversation — a core purpose of public art.
“Ultimately, the goal of the artist is to create a conversation, and I think this piece will be successful in that regard,” Kranz said.
Kranz also emphasized
For Gornushkin, he said the project is a labor of love, blending his passion for sculpture and environmental stewardship. Neptune Jr. is expected to be installed in late January 2024, and Gornushkin hopes it will inspire viewers of all ages.
“Our oceans, nature, the beauty we see and experience — it’s something to cherish,” he said. “Every generation needs to make sure the next generation gets to enjoy the same bounty and beauty that we do.”
human lives, forever altered,’’ Desmond said.
He noted that the county is already spending $5 million to provide legal counsel for undocumented migrants facing deportation, regardless of their crimes.
“I don’t think we can continue down this path,’’ he said. “Let’s prioritize safety over politics, justice over ideology and protection of innocent lives over all us.’’
Lawson-Remer said county law enforcement should not act as federal agents, which erodes trust and leads to fewer people reporting crimes. She told the board that the letter doesn’t prevent the county from giving assistance to federal agencies if there’s a suspected violation of the law but that if federal immigration authorities want county help in apprehending a suspected criminal, they must produce an arrest warrant.
“The policy is pretty limited — it’s not about open borders,’’ she added.
Vargas said it was “really unfortunate that people come here and share misinformation’’ and that she supports criminals being prosecuted.
Ian Seruelo, chair of the San Diego Immigrant Rights Consortium, said he applauded the board’s decision.
“By ensuring that our local resources are not used to detain and deport San Diegans, the Board is sending a strong message that immigrants are valued and welcomed in our region,’’ Seruelo, who is also the chapter leader of the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance San Diego, said in a statement.
Rep. Darrell Issa issued a statement criticizing the item.
“The shielding of criminal illegals with a law intended to stop law enforcement represents the most radical agenda of some members of this board,’’ said Issa, a Republican representing the 48th Congressional District, which includes the cities of Escondido and Poway, along with a portion of Riverside County.

Awesome!
No doubt inspired by “WKRP in Cincinnati,” Esther Keim of Anchorage, Alaska, this year completed her third Alaska Turkey Bomb, the Associated Press reported.
When Keim was growing up in rural Alaska, a family friend would drop turkeys to her family and others from a plane, along with newspapers and chewing gum.
She started her tradition with a small plane she rebuilt with her father, and this year she dropped 32 frozen turkeys to people living beyond roads. Dave and Christina Luce live a 90-minute snowmobile ride from the nearest town.
“I’m 80 years old now, so we make fewer and fewer trips,” Dave said.
Keim has “been a real good friend.” She hopes to start a nonprofit organization to solicit donations and reach more people, with more than turkeys.
“There’s so many kids out in the villages,” she said. “It would be cool to maybe add a stuffed animal or something they can hold.”

Family Values
• An unnamed mother in Cheshire, England, was sentenced to 7 1/2 years in
prison for “extreme neglect” after her 3-year-old daughter of hers was found to have been living in a drawer under a bed, the BBC reported.
The mother hid the child from her siblings and even from a boyfriend, who discovered her in 2023 after hearing her cry when the mom was away.
The court said she was severely malnourished, looking more like a 7-month-old baby, and had a cleft palate, matted hair and other deformities. The mother told police she had not realized she was pregnant and was “really scared” when she gave birth, calling the child “not part of the family.”
Judge Steven Everett said he could not “remember a case as bad as this in my 46 years.” [BBC, 11/26/2024]
• Three generations of a family in Palm Coast, Florida, celebrated Black Friday by shoplifting $400 worth of cosmetics and alcohol from a Target store, the Miami Herald reported.
A 76-year-old woman, her 54-year-old daughter and a juvenile granddaughter were arrested after a Target loss specialist saw the juvenile putting items in her backpack, police said.
The two adults were charged with theft and contributing to the delinquency of a minor; the girl was turned over to her father.

Firefighters battled
a blaze for more than 16 hours in Weston, Connecticut, on Thanksgiving, WFSB-TV reported, after flames erupted as someone tried to fry a turkey.
The fire, which started in the garage of a $4 million mansion, quickly spread to the rest of the house, and six other fire departments joined in the effort to fight the fire.
None of the residents or neighbors were hurt, but the home was deemed “uninhabitable.” [WFSB, 12/2/2024]

• If you’re fortunate enough to live in California, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas or Florida over the next couple of weeks, you can have your photo snapped while driving through Taco Bell, KTLA-TV reported.
“Every day in our drivethrus, we see moments that are so uniquely ‘our fans,’” said Chief Marketing Officer Taylor Montgomery. Select locations will be transformed into photo booths, with some of the photos ending up on a Taco Bell commercial during the third quarter of the Super Bowl.

• In Lone Tree, Colorado, on Nov. 23, police officer Jacob Tarr was busy arresting a suspect in a theft when the perp took off on foot, KY3-TV reported.
Thinking fast, Tarr commandeered a kid’s bike to continue the chase, police said.
“The suspect might’ve had a scooter, but Officer Tarr had determination, and a kid’s bike,” the police shared on social media.
The suspect, who had three outstanding warrants, was eventually nabbed and charged with felony theft. [KY3, 12/2/2024]
But Why?
Tyler Wade Gibson, 35, and his wife, Bailey Alexus Gibson, 32, were charged with child abuse on Nov. 27 in Columbia, Missouri, after Tyler tried to perform a circumcision at home on their infant son, Law and Crime reported.
The parents took the child to Lake Regional Hospital after being alarmed by the amount of blood; Bailey told police she was “very hesitant” about her husband doing the procedure but helped him do it.
Social services went to the home on Nov. 29 and removed five children. The Gibsons are scheduled to be back in court on Jan. 28. [Law and Crime, 12/3/2024]
Animal Antics
They say all fashion trends eventually come back around. Science Alert reported on Dec. 3 that orcas off the West Coast of North America have started wearing salmon as hats — again.
The fad was first noticed in 1987 in Puget
Sound, when orcas started balancing dead fish on their noses. Scientists believe they may be storing the food for later or “showing off,” or it may just feel good.
Humpback whales, for example, have been known to wear hats of seaweed. “ Honestly, your guess is as good as mine,” said Deborah Giles, science and research director at Wild Orca. With further study, “we may be able to gather enough information to show that, for instance, one carried a fish hat for 30 minutes or so, and then he ate it.” [Science Alert, 12/3/2024]
Incompetent Criminal
Maybe don’t record your crimes in your journal — that’s the lesson just learned by Vanessa Guerra, 30, of Mankato, Minnesota.
The Smoking Gun reported that on the same day that a 2004 Ford Freestar van was stolen, Guerra wrote in her diary: “Totally stole a car today! Something I never thought of doing.”
She sold the van to an auto salvage company for $2,000. As investigators closed in on Guerra as the thief, she told them she didn’t know the van was stolen — but they were “able to locate a journal belonging to Guerra” that included her admission.
She was charged with two felonies. [The Smoking Gun, 11/27/2024]

From the “But Why

The New York Post reported on Dec. 4 that Miller High Life has released a new cologne, just in time for the holidays.
Dive Bar-Fume evokes the smells of a bar counter, leather stools and tobacco so you can be in your favorite dive bar whenever you want.
It also includes sea salt (for the “basket of fries and popcorn”) and Champak blossom, which of course smells like Miller High Life. It’ll set you back $60 and comes in a fancy gift box. One commenter asked, “Does it smell like shattered dreams?” Touche. [NY Post, 12/4/2024]
Questionable Judgment
Amanda Joudrey LeBlanc of Blandford, Nova Scotia, found a dog sitter she liked and booked them several times over the summer, the CBC reported on Nov. 19.
That is, until she discovered a video of the sitter advertising an account on OnlyFans. LeBlanc immediately recognized her own home in the background -her bathroom and her outdoor pool.
She bought a subscription to the service and discovered more explicit content filmed in her house.
“I am still shocked by it to be honest with you,” LeBlanc said. “Everyone can do whatever they want. I don’t care. I just don’t want it done in my home.”
The dogs were not featured in the videos. [CBC, 11/19/2024]

San Marcos club provides basketball assist
Youth program aims to reduce cost barriers
By Leo Place
SAN
MARCOS
— As more families become priced out of expensive youth club sport opportunities, a nonprofit basketball club in North County is working to reduce financial barriers and invite more youth into prehigh school competitive ball.
San Marcos Basketball was founded in 2020 by San Elijo Hills residents Hilda Mateiu and her husband Ciprian Oltean, both of whom played basketball in their youth and on the Romanian National Team. The club features several teams for boys and girls in grades 4-7, with over 200 youth participating.
Mateiu, who has now lived in San Marcos with her family for several years, said she wanted to create more competitive basketball opportunities in the San Diego area that wouldn’t break the bank for families.
“We could see how all the clubs were charging an arm and a leg. Not everyone could do sports; not everyone could afford it,” Mateiu said. “When I played, my family was in a lot of financial distress. Sports were free in my country back then, and I got a lot of help from the community.”
The team charges families between $370 per season to be on a league team and $450 to be on a tournament team — far below that of other clubs, which can run upwards of $1,000 per season. The majority of fees go toward gym rentals for the team to practice, and all training and coaching is done for free by volunteers.
Partial and full scholarships are available to low-income, single-parent, and military families, as well as families with an immediate member who has a disability.
Practices are held several times a week at San Elijo Middle School, and teams participate in games and tournaments in San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County, Corona, Anaheim and Riverside. San Marcos Bas-
Holiday Bowl: Wazzu-Syracuse
By City News Service
REGION — Washington State will face Syracuse in the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 27, which will be played at Snapdragon Stadium for the first time, organizers announced Sunday.
The Cougars (8-4), who have lost three consecutive games, will be playing in the Holiday Bowl for the fifth time and first since 2017.
The Orange (9-3) have won three consecutive games. Syracuse will be playing in the Holiday Bowl for the first time.
This will be the second meeting between the teams. Syracuse defeated Washington State, 52-25, in 1979.
The Holiday Bowl has the second choice among the available former and current Pac-12 teams and is in a group with the PopTarts Bowl and Gator Bowl that have the first picks among Atlantic Coast Con-
ference teams following the College Football Playoff.
The Holiday Bowl was played at since-demolished San Diego Stadium from 1978 to 2019 and at Petco Park in 2022 and 2023. The 2020 game was canceled
because of the coronavirus pandemic and the 2021 game was called off just hours before kickoff due to COVID-19 issues within the
ketball draws kids from San Marcos as well as Escondido, Oceanside, Carlsbad and Vista.
Brian Rawlings has been coaching the club’s Thunder team for nearly a year, and has two sons who play in the club as well. Over his career of coaching youth basketball and baseball, Rawlings said he has seen club sport costs become “insanely expensive,” making joining infeasible for many families.
“That’s one of the most heartbreaking things I can imagine, that there are kids who can't participate on a baseline beyond recreational sports because of money,” Rawlings said.
While his coaching and training for San Marcos Basketball is unpaid, getting
to see families benefit from the financial assistance and players grow their skills is very rewarding, he said.
“There is a sacrifice, there are other opportunities where you could get paid to do it. But I love basketball, and there's nothing more gratifying than teaching a kid something and seeing them implement that,” Rawlings said.
The club also puts a heavy emphasis on training rather than just games, with the goal of preparing players for high school ball. San Marcos Thunder, the club’s competitive boys travel team, has snapped up champion titles at several regional tournaments including the San Diego Winter Classic (12U, 11U and 9U teams), the Ball-a-ween Corona Tour-
nament (11U and 12U) and more.
Andy Collins, whose son Cruz is a point guard on Thunder’s 12U team, said Mateiu and Oltean go above and beyond for the club. Outside of keeping fees low, they also shuttle other peoples’ kids to practices when they don’t have a ride, and they work to make practices fun, challenging and engaging.
“It’s just phenomenal, the amount of effort they put into it,” Collins said. "You can't complain about that level of instruction and not having to pay a lot of money. There's a lot of programs that charge double, if not more.”
The club has grown monumentally in the past few years, after having a rough start in 2020 with the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mateiu said. Now they are focused on garnering more sponsors and donations for the club so that they can get even more kids involved.
"I founded San Marcos Basketball for the purpose of making everything as affordable as possible," Mateiu said. "It's been growing a lot; it's fun to make it happen."
San Marcos Basketball is currently sponsored by The Hoop House training gym, which has a San Marcos location, the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Spalding, and Knott’s Berry Farm. It is accredited by the Jr NBA as well as USA Basketball.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying o all liens senior to the lien being auctioned o , before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s o ce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

Tree doctor wins ‘best of’ honor two years in a row
For over 40 years, Russell Bowman has been delighting residents of San Diego County with his plant and tree expertise.
So, it’s no wonder Bowman Plant & Tree Care Specialists have been named the San Diego Union-Tribune Community Press’ “Best of North County” voters’ poll for tree and plant care for a 2nd year in a row!
He is lovingly referred to as the San Diego “tree doctor extraordinaire” by his clients, Bowman is known for transforming sickly trees and gardens into Disneyesque wonderlands.
Using his own proprietary blend of organic biological nutrition, Bowman uses techniques he picked up during his time as a horticulturist at Disneyland.
“When you feed plants, you need to ensure they have enough time to absorb the nutrition, before it is degraded by the sun’s rays,” he said.
He’s done more than just care for sick plants and trees, he’s revolutionized both residential and commercial properties by the use of his organic fertilizer tanks that inject his magical formula through your irrigation systems.
In a very short time, this
the city is working with the Crown Heights neighborhood on the next mural project.”
One of the most recent additions to the murals at Joe Balderrama Park depicts the late Chargers star and NFL Hall of Famer Junior Seau. Seau grew up in Oceanside’s Eastside community and went on to play for the San Diego Chargers. He died in 2012 at 43 years old.
Paul Jimenez of GroundFloor Murals is responsible for the new Seau
program pays back through reduced water bills.
“When you give your body proper nutrition, it affects your overall health and boosts your immunity, so you don’t get sick. The same is true for plants and trees.” Bowman feeds complete “nutrition delivery biology” derived from earthworm castings to replenish the missing healthy soil biology.
This works with a client’s current irrigation system so that each time the landscaping is watered, the needed soil biology is replenished.
“This is the secret to keeping your property looking like a five-star resort.”
Russell is quick to point out that healthy plants and trees are also environmentally friendly. A healthy plant will be more efficient at photosynthesizing sunlight into oxygen and the healthy soil/ compost helps bring down uses far less water.
He donates his time and expertise for the trees for the Point Loma Association and gardens at the Rock Church in Point Loma, Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, the YMCA, Barnes Tennis Center, Chili’s Restaurants, Stone Brewery in Escondido, and San Diego Botanic Garden.
mural.
In Escondido, another North County city with a growing number of public murals, recently welcomed “Hummingbird Jubilee” as its latest installation on the corner of Maple Street Plaza and Grand Avenue in the downtown area.
Local artist Brenda Townsend of Brilliant Spectrum designed and installed the 14-by-100-foot mural, which was funded through public art dollars with approval from the Escondido Public Art Commission.
According to the city, the mural was designed to enhance the plaza, which
Questions to consider before buying your child a cellphone
It’s holiday shopping time and what’s one item on top of nearly every kid, tween and teen’s wish list? A cellphone.
If you’re considering buying your child a new phone, whether it’s their first one or an upgrade, Cox Mobile is here to share some questions to ask yourself before deciding which phone to purchase.
He also served with the San Diego Rose Society in Balboa Park for 12 years.
“My calling is to beautify the earth, making trees and plants healthy,” The Master Gardener taught me everything I know. I’ve learned that when you love something, it’s not something you have to do; it’s something you want to do.”
To learn more about Bowman and his services, please contact Russell at 858-499-9417. He provides tree and plant nutritional care as well as ongoing routine garden maintenance.

serves as an important connection to Grape Day Park, the California Center for the Arts, City Hall and Grand Avenue businesses.
Townsend’s vision was inspired by the arts and crafts movement, which emphasizes craftsmanship, simplicity and a deep connection to nature. The mural’s design features vibrant hummingbirds that represent joy, beauty and energy and complements the nearby Maple Street archway.
While working on the mural, Townsend incorporated yellow butterflies that she noticed fluttering around nearby plants.
MOBILE PHONE?
AT WHAT AGE SHOULD KIDS GET A
A child’s first mobile phone helps mark their transition into a new phase, one that offers more independence but also comes with significant parental considerations.
According to research from Stanford Medicine, just over three in four of kids had a mobile phone by age 12.
Every child is different, so there's no one-age-fits-all for their first mobile phone. Some kids take responsibility for the things they own from an early age, while others are more forgetful.
Timing also depends on how they’ll use the device. Some families may want their child to have a phone for safety purposes and to keep in touch with family or friends, while others may want to use it to play games or access social media.
WHICH FEATURES DOES MY CHILD NEED AND WHICH DEVICE MAKES SENSE?
Features depend on how your child will use the device – is it for safety purposes, to play games and connect with friends, or for directions when they’re driving to a school activity?
If it’s solely for parents and children to reach and locate each other quickly when needed, consider texting and video chat capabilities.
Is your child a new driver? You might want to upgrade their current phone with one that has GPS so they always know how to get where they’re going.
Do they love taking pictures and videos of their pets or during family vacations? Consider a phone’s
“This mural is intended to provide a fun and colorful, welcoming entrance to Escondido’s Historic Downtown, whether the Plaza is used as a walkway or as a destination in its own right,” Townsend explained in her proposal for the mural.
More than 40 volunteers helped Townsend in the painting process.
The building owner plans to enhance the surrounding landscape by renovating nearby planters and introducing plants that attract hummingbirds to create a living extension of the mural’s theme.
camera quality.
Device size, price and specs are also prime considerations. Cox mobile phone offerings include everything from a 4.7" iPhone SE to a 6.5" iPhone 15 Pro to a 6.7" Samsung Galaxy S24+ — with a wide range of features available, depending on the device.
WHAT RULES WILL YOU SET AND WHAT PARENTAL CONTROLS DO YOU NEED?
Make sure you establish phone rules that work for your family well before the gift is opened. Some common rules include:
• When and where your child is allowed to use their phone
• How many hours a day they can use the phone
• Permission (or not) for social media
• Where the phone is charged/stored at bedtime
Parental controls are another key consideration and may include restrictions on the type of websites your child can access, the ability to download applications and the amount of screen time they can have per day.
HOW SHOULD YOU MANAGE THE DATA NEEDED TO POWER THE DEVICE?
If this line is a new addition to your plan, you’ll
want to make sure your provider offers a family plan that works for you and your budget.
Do you prefer to pay for data as you go or pay the same amount every month? Cox Mobile offers data plans for both scenarios. Choosing Pay as You Gig means you get more control over your kid's device usage — you decide how much data to purchase, and you're not paying for unused data. The Gig Unlimited plan provides peace of mind that your child can always access the apps and services they need.
WHAT APPS SHOULD KIDS HAVE ON THEIR PHONES?
Common choices include secure messaging apps and locator apps that help parents find and connect with their kids. Games and educational apps are also popular, but remember: It's up to parents to vet apps to know which ones to trust and which might not be appropriate for your child’s age.
There’s a lot to consider when purchasing a phone for your child and setting the rules around its use, but it’s worth taking the time to shop for a device that will be right for both of you.
