Man electrocuted, killed hanging lights

By City News Service

ESCONDIDO —

More than $16,000 has been raised as of Dec. 4 to help support the family of an Escondido man who was electrocuted and died while putting up Christmas lights.

The man, Antonio Pascual, age 24, was putting up lights at a residence near the intersection of Idaho Avenue and Skyline Drive in East Valley when he was electrocuted on Nov. 29, according to authorities.

Pascual was injured after he reportedly threw the lights over a high-voltage power line, fell and was temporarily trapped hanging in a tree while rescue and utility workers turned off the electricity. He was taken to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

“He was a brother, a son and a uncle,’’ states the GoFundMe page set up by

ousted the city treasurer, and renewed the city’s half-cent sales tax, according to final election results.

Sanchez narrowly defeated Deputy Mayor Ryan Keim in one of the county’s closest races, securing reelection by just 232 votes, per the San Diego County Registrar of Voters’ final tally released Dec. 3.

Keim led the competitive race early in November, but the race flipped in Sanchez’s favor as more ballots were counted later in the month.

“I’m so excited and just so proud of our community,” Sanchez said. “I’m proud to be able to serve Oceanside at this specific moment in time with staff who I think really care about our community.”

Sanchez, Oceanside’s first Latina mayor, was first elected to the City Council in 2000 and became mayor in 2020. Born and raised in Oceanside, she grew up in the historic Eastside neighborhood.

In addition to Sanchez’s reelection, voters chose Jimmy Figueroa to represent District 3, the seat currently held by Keim, who opted to run for mayor rather than seek reelection.

Fairgrounds starts public outreach for future use

By Leo Place

DEL MAR —

The 22nd District Agricultural Association is preparing to launch a broad-reaching community engagement effort in 2025 regarding future land use at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

The master site planning effort, coined as Fairgrounds 2050, piggybacks off the 22nd DAA’s strategic planning process conducted over the past few years. Fairgrounds 2050 will lay out a land-use plan for upgrades and improvements to existing facilities and the addition of new facilities to support new program opportunities.

In September, the 22nd DAA, the state board managing the Fairgrounds, adopted 16 guiding principles for the master site planning process to help shape public discussion and set necessary parameters. These principles include environmental stewardship, community focus, accessibility, fiscal responsibility, and purposeful planning.

The Fairgrounds is working with communications firm Southwest Strategies to conduct public outreach over the next year. This will include presentations to all 18 cities in San Diego County and the county Board of Supervisors and a “regional listening tour” with town hall events throughout the county and at the Fairgrounds.

Southwest Strategies CEO Chris Wahl provided an update about the master site plan at the board’s Nov. 14 meeting, stating that “there is a lot of work to be done,” but that public input is a crucial first step.

“This 2025 year is going to be the year we really have the opportunity to get out and start talking about it more,” said Wahl. “We

cause this is such an incredible public asset.”

The Fairgrounds has formed several committees comprising 22nd DAA board members to guide the process. The district is also forming a technical advisory coalition that includes experts in traffic, water, water resources, and biological resources to develop a set of parameters for the project.

Board Member Don Mosier said rising sea levels will be a critical environmental factor in the master site planning process.

“This is a challenging site, particularly given the range of estimates for sea level rise, which vary tremendously from about two feet to six feet for 2050,” Mosier said. “I hope we can address those in our master plan and have some resiliency estimates when we get to the final master plan.”

The Fairgrounds will also begin outreach to the California Coastal Commission next year, as the final master site plan and environmental impact report will ultimately require approval from the state body.

As this outreach continues, Southwest Strategies will provide quarterly updates to the 22nd DAA

end of 2025.

In 2026, the Fairgrounds plans to use the design objectives, public feedback, and technical advisory committee input to solicit development proposals through an international design competition.

“The timeline for the next year is pretty clear. After that, it gets a little bit less clear, but the more progress we make now, the more we can move forward in the future,” Wahl said.

One potential type of development that the Fairgrounds has been discussing for years is housing. Earlier this year, the 22nd DAA and the city of Del Mar entered into an exclusive negotiating rights agreement to explore developing 61 affordable housing units on Fairgrounds property to help Del Mar fulfill its state housing obligations.

However, these talks were paused in the summer

due to the threat of a possible rail tunnel through the Fairgrounds property, as outlined in one of three rail realignment options proposed by the San Diego County Association of Governments.

Residents can find more information about the Fairgrounds 2050 at delmarfairgrounds.com/fairgrounds2050.

Budget

Fairgrounds CEO Carlene Moore said the district fell short of its revenue-raising goals for 2024, partially due to the unexpected $5.6 million repayment of a 2020 Paycheck Protection Program loan and the cancellation of planned events.

One was the cancellation of KAABOO around one month before its scheduled return, which cost the district around $3 million in revenue. According to Moore, the festival is ex-

pected to go forward in 2025, with the Fairgrounds charging a $50,000 non-refundable deposit.

In 2025, the Fairgrounds forecasts just under $90.5 million in gross revenues, with around $53 million coming from the 2025 San Diego County Fair and $89.6 million in expenditures, not including capital projects.

This leaves around $1.2 million in actual cash flow after operations, payroll and debt service. Fairgrounds currently pays around $5.2 million annually in principal and interest on bond debt obligations, projected to be paid off entirely in 2040.

By the end of 2024, the district will have spent $4.8 million on capital improvement needs and will face a $5.8 million capital expenditure budget for 2025.

A significant portion of funding for next year’s

improvements — around $3 million — is expected to come from net revenues from 2024 that will be available in the coming months. According to a staff report, if these funds do not materialize, the district will likely have to draw from its reserves.

The Sound, the Fairgrounds’ music venue operated by Belly Up Entertainment, will have put on 54 of its 80 forecasted shows for 2024. However, Moore said the shows themselves have been well-attended and elicited more revenue than expected, and the venue is continuing to grow in popularity.

“While we will not achieve the total number of shows for 2024, the success of the shows are more on par than what were anticipated,” Moore said.

In 2025, The Sound is planning 75 shows.

Escondido voters adopt sales tax hike

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO —

As the November election results near completion, Escondido residents can expect to see a 1% sales tax increase and a new face on the City Council starting next year.

As of Dec. 3, nearly 76% of San Diego County’s ballots have been counted. Based on these numbers, 61% of Escondido voters supported Measure I, which would apply a onecent sales tax to purchases made within city limits.

The tax will be collected to provide funding for essential services, including public safety, homelessness response, street and infrastructure improvements, increased police, fire and paramedic services, and the maintenance of parks, trails and open space.

Incumbent Councilmember Christian Garcia, who is currently serving as deputy mayor, also won his District 3 by a landslide over opponents Veronica Cigarroa and Christine Spencer. Garcia, who was appointed to the vacant seat in early 2023, won nearly 61% of votes.

In District 4, Judy Fitzgerald has secured more than 68% of voters’ approval over her opponent, Rod Howell.

Fitzgerald will take over the seat currently held by longtime Councilmember Mike Morasco.

Escondido City Treasurer Douglas Shultz ran for reelection unopposed.

For the Escondido Union High School District board, incumbent Board President Christi Knight has defeated challenger Clay Brown for Trustee Area 3 with nearly double Brown’s votes.

In Trustee Area 4, incumbent Ryan Williams secured his seat with approximately 65% of the vote against challenger Dara Czerwonka.

Williams, who was appointed to the board in early 2023, also celebrates his first election win.

In the Escondido Union School District race for Trustee Area 3, which covers kindergarten through eighth-grade public schools, incumbent Mark Olson has won approximately 53% of the votes over challenger Juan Manuel Vargas.

San Marcos raises developer fees

By Leo Place SAN MARCOS — Developers,

homeowners and businesses in San Marcos will face increased costs related to construction, permitting and public facility impacts after the City Council adopted comprehensive changes to several fees this week.

The changes adopted Tuesday to the city’s public facility fees, user fees and in-lieu housing fees come after months of studies and outreach to developers and residents. Since some of these fees have not undergone a comprehensive update in nearly 25 years, staff said it was necessary to start from the ground up.

“Recognizing that it’s been a bit of time since our last update, we wanted to be thoughtful about how we approached this,” said Development Services Director Isaac Etchamendy. “So what we started with was really looking at this from scratch. We wanted to make sure that rather than revisiting outdated studies and trying to update them, we just took a fresh look at the city.”

Fee changes will take effect in March. However, projects submitted prior to this date or that are already being processed will be exempt from the increases to in-lieu and public facility fees under a two-year grace period.

The city will conduct additional outreach to developers and the larger community about the changes over the coming months.

In-lieu fees

Under the city’s inclusionary housing ordinance, all residential developments must make 15% of the proposed units affordable or pay an in-lieu fee to the city to go toward other affordable housing developments.

Since 2000, the city has charged a flat rate of $9,300 for its affordable housing in-lieu fee. Now, the city will charge a rate of $15 per square foot in each proposed development.

The $15/square foot in-lieu fee is well below the allowable maximum of $25/ square foot, which city staff worried would disincentivize development. It is also lower than the rates in most neighboring North County cities, where fees range from $16 in Carlsbad to $34 per square foot in Del Mar. (Escondido is the exception, as it currently charges $0.)

“We wanted the fees to meet the needs to develop affordable housing while not overburdening development and potentially negatively impacting or slowing development,” said Housing and Neighborhood Services Manager Sylvia Daniels.

In-lieu fees have been instrumental in creating affordable housing in San Marcos, supporting the development of 3,308 deed-restricted units over the last 20 years, according to the city. Earlier this year, the City Council also amended an ordinance to apply inclusionary housing requirements to rental developments rather than just

tifamily residential developments will pay a total impact fee of $12.45 and $14.10 per square foot, respectively. Commercial developments will pay $20.18/square foot, office developments $18.72/ square foot, and industrial developments $12.34/ square foot.

These changes increase public facility fees for single-family residential developments but decrease them overall for multifamily developments. However, the city said the difference is made up with the in-lieu fee for the latter.

for-sale projects, doubling the potential for these fees.

Mayor Rebecca Jones applauded San Marcos’ performance in the affordable housing sphere.

“We’re crushing it in the affordable housing compared to our sister cities,” Jones said.

All projects submitted to the city after March 5 will be subject to the new fee, with the two-year grace period in place for other projects. Staff said this grace period will hopefully prevent in-progress projects from being withdrawn due to a massive change in fees midstream, as many developers budget for in-lieu fees early on in the process.

While in-lieu fees are important to creating affordable housing, some areas of the city require developers to meet 15% affordability without the option for a fee. This is in place in the city’s Creek District and University District, also known as North City, where significant growth is projected over the coming years.

Public facility fees

The City Council also made changes to its public facility fees — also known as impact fees — which charge developers for the capital costs associated with growth. Fees are calculated based on the anticipated extra demands that new developments will place on facilities such as streets, transportation and parks.

The new structure sets fees based on six new facility categories — transportation; parks, trails and recreation; fire and EMS; advanced planning; habitat conservation; and storm drainage.

Single-family and mul-

When setting these fees, staff said they had to take into account that developers are also facing public facility fees from other agencies, such as Vallecitos Water District. Because some other agencies’ fees are already high, the city had to keep theirs lower to prevent overburdening developers.

“So, we don’t collect as much because others are collecting so much,” City Councilmember Sharon Jenkins said.

User fees

When it comes to user fees, which are charged for services like permit and plan reviews, the city currently charges well below what it costs staff to perform many of its services, Etchamendy said.

The City Council agreed to increase around half of its fees to better align with staff time costs. The largest increases affected building and planning services processed through the Development Services Department.

Some of the more significant increases are for processing large-scale development applications. For example, the cost of processing a subdivision map will increase from $2,690 to $14,700; services for a site development plan will increase from $2,470 to $17,600; and processing a specific plan will increase from $2,860 to $24,500. Business licenses will see an additional fee ranging from $16 to $154, depending on the type of business.

For homeowners seeking permits and plan approvals for single-family housing development, fees will be around 10 times higher — increasing from

Residents challenge Silvergate project’s fit in wealthy suburb

By Leo Place

FE

RANCHO SANTA

—

A proposed 160-unit retirement community intended to bring needed senior housing to Rancho Santa Fe faces pushback from residents who claim the project does not match the area’s rural character or zoning requirements.

The Silvergate Rancho Santa Fe project proposes a mix of rental cottages, apartments and memory care units for residents 60 years and older at a long-vacant 28-acre site at the corner of Calzada del Bosque and Vida de la Valle, across from Chino Farms.

The developer, Solana Beach-based AmeriCare Health and Retirement, Inc., purchased the property in 2021 after eyeing it for years. Leaders say the plan is to provide a closeto-home retirement option for Rancho Santa Fe’s aging population.

This would be AmeriCare’s fourth Silvergate location, with other facilities in Fallbrook, San Marcos and Rancho Bernardo.

“The property at the corner of Calzada Del

Bosque and Via de la Valle was listed for sale and offered AmeriCare the unique opportunity to secure a site large enough for the development of a new, second-generation, campus-style retirement community at a location that could best serve the needs of Rancho Santa Fe and the area’s growing senior population,” said AmeriCare President and COO Greg Petree, who runs the company with his father David Petree and brother Matt Petree.

For the past three years, AmeriCare has been involved in entitlement planning and design review with the Rancho Santa Fe Art Jury, which reviews development and building applications “to ensure new projects maintain the ‘high artistic result’ described in the Rancho Santa Fe Protective Covenant.”

During the jury’s most recent review of the project in October, which drew a crowd of residents, the jury listed several items for the developer to address regarding the architectural design before it could be approved.

In response to design concerns, AmeriCare said they have worked with the Art Jury to make the structures match Rancho Santa Fe’s rural characteristics, with elements like cantilevered wood balconies, Ju-

liette iron balconies, and the removal of all window stacking.

Silvergate Rancho Santa Fe plans to host at least 200 residents, which is the “sweet spot” for creating an energetic and involved community without being

too large, Greg Petree said. While AmeriCare boasts a long waiting list of Rancho Santa Fe seniors interested in moving into Silvergate, many residents say the project does not fit the rural, low-density style that the community has preserved for decades or the site’s zoning.

Zoning, flooding

Rancho Santa Fe is governed by a nearly 100-year-old Protective Covenant outlining permitted property uses in different areas. The Silvergate lot is zoned as Class C, which only allows residential uses such as multi- and single-family dwellings or an “apartment house, hotel, private school, fraternity dwelling, club, dormitory, boarding house or lodging house.”

Some residents argue that Silvergate’s amenities, such as a clubhouse, restaurant, spa, and sports facilities, are not permitted under Class C. They also say Silvergate’s inclusion of 24 memory care units will violate the covenant, which prohibits institutions for the “care, cure or restraint of the mentally impaired” anywhere in the ranch.

In a recent petition, residents opposing the project stated that Silvergate could only be permitted if the language of the covenant is changed, which would require two-thirds approval by Rancho Santa Fe Association members. The petition asked the RSF Association Board of Directors and Art Jury to pause any actions regard-

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.

Encinitas parade, tree lighting kick off holidays

By Walker Armstrong

ENCINITAS — The city of Encinitas is preparing to launch its holiday season with two cherished annual events: the 30th lighting of the Encinitas Heritage Tree and the 67th Encinitas Holiday Parade.

The festivities begin from 4 to 6 p.m. on Dec. 6 with the lighting of the Encinitas Heritage Tree at Moonlight Beach’s upper parking lot.

Hosted by the Encinitas Historical Society, in partnership with the City of Encinitas and the Encinitas Rotary Club, the event is free to the public and includes complimentary parking.

This year’s celebration will feature a performance by legendary songwriter Jack Tempchin, a 2019 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee known for penning iconic Eagles hits such as “Peaceful Easy Feeling” and “Already Gone.”

Local music groups, including the San Diego North Coast Singers children’s choir and three elementary school choirs, will also perform. Returning for its fourth consecutive year, the local band Free Verse will open the event with holiday classics and join the choirs for a grand finale.

The lighting ceremony honors a 90-foot Norfolk pine planted in 1952 by Peter and John Danforth. Designated a protected Heritage Tree in 2011, it

has been maintained and lit annually by volunteers led by long-time Encinitas resident Luis Ortiz.

After a long journey from the North Pole ahead of Christmas Eve, Santa and Mrs. Claus will make a spe-

cial appearance, arriving on an Encinitas fire engine.

The holiday celebrations continue Dec. 7 with the 67th annual Encinitas Holiday Parade, themed “Creativity in Motion.” Sponsored by Online Build-

ers, a San Diego-based general contracting firm specializing in commercial construction services, the parade begins at 5:30 p.m. on Coast Highway 101, traveling south from D Street to J Street.

a roast to remember

The parade at 5 p.m. will be preceded by a ceremonial tree lighting and a visit from Santa Claus at the Lumberyard Shops courtyard.

This year’s Grand Marshal, mural artist Kevin An-

derson, will lead the procession. Anderson, whose work adorns local landmarks, said he was grateful for the opportunity.

“I feel very honored to be nominated as Encinitas’ Grand Marshal,” Anderson said in a statement. “My wife just lit up when we heard the news [and] I look forward to seeing all the wonderful people during the holiday parade and shouting Merry Christmas!”

The event will feature a record 105 entries, with participants competing for awards such as Best Use of Theme, Best Use of Lights, Best Spirit, Best Performance, and Best Overall. The parade is the largest of its kind in North County, drawing more than 10,000 spectators annually.

Coast Highway 101 will close at 4 p.m., with free parking and shuttles available at San Dieguito Academy High School and Ecke Sports Park/YMCA, with ADA-accessible shuttles from San Dieguito Academy.

Billy Rendler, president of Online Builders, highlighted the company’s support for community events.

“Online Builders is proud to be the foundation of this year’s Encinitas Holiday Parade,” Rendler said in a statement. “We are committed to turning creativity into reality and making every moment of the parade as memorable as the spaces we build.”

Dark Xmas Market brings Krampus spirit to Vista

By Leo Place

VISTA — Krampus, St. Nicholas, the haunting Mari Lwyd and other figures from European folklore will take over downtown Vista in a couple of weeks as the third annual Dark Xmas Market returns to celebrate unique holiday customs from around the world.

The market, also known as the Wild Hunt of Vista Krampus Run, celebrates European winter folklore and tradition. The event is a collaboration between Vista community art space Backfence Society and Twisted Heart Puppetworks founder Tania Yager.

This year’s event will feature upward of 40 vendors with gothic-inspired crafts and other goods, a children’s area, cider from Twisted Horn Mead & Cider, a scavenger hunt, and the “wild hunt procession” featuring Krampus — the demon-esque counterpart to St. Nicholas of Germanic and Austrian folklore who punishes bad children — and other creatures from Welsh, Scandinavian, and Bavarian winter lore.

The idea for the event started in 2021 after Yager held a solo show with her work at Backfence Society. Both Yager and Backfence Executive Director Sarah Spinks share a love for the traditional holiday markets in Germany, and the two decided to expand the event to celebrate different folkloric holiday traditions.

“We thought, wouldn’t it be cool if we did a market and had vendors and had Krampus running through the street?” Yager said.

The first year exceeded expectations, drawing around 1,000 people. Since then, the event has grown in popularity and draws visitors from all over the region, with nearly 3,000 attendees last year.

A main feature of the market is the wild hunt procession, which blends the concept of the mythical wild hunt — a raucous procession of spirits on winter nights, rooted in myths from across Europe and, most notably, Scandinavia — and the Ba-

varian Krampus run (Krampuslauf), which re-enacts the tradition of St. Nicholas and Krampus traveling through the streets to visit families.

Along with being entertaining to watch, cosplayers who frequent the Renaissance Fair or the Vista Viking Festival have another chance to dress up and enter a new world.

This year, Yager said she is focused on increasing the quality of the event to make it even more memorable. In addition to cosplayers in impressive costumes, the wild hunt procession will feature large ornate puppets depicting folkloric characters.

Yager and a team of other artists have spent upwards of 100 hours on one of the puppets depicting St. Nicholas (a representation distinct from the modern Santa Claus), who will be walking through the streets and engaging with the audience.

“We wanted to give people some spectacle and some street theater,” Yager said. “It’s been a giant labor of love, which has been fantastic.”

Spinks said this event represents exactly what Backfence hopes to promote — creativity and bringing people together.

“I think Tania does a

great job as an artist, having a creative vision for the event. She has a way of organizing people around this event, and the enthusiasm for the event is palpable,” Spinks said.

The Dark Xmas Market is also a way to show love to local businesses.

Twisted Horn Mead & Cider along La Mirada Court has served their libations at the Dark Xmas Market for the past two years. Owner Vince Obarski said that although their business isn’t in downtown Vista, the market is a great opportunity to reach more customers and engage with the community.

“It’s good to be involved

in events where it’s community-based; in other words, not just shutting up in watching the football game. It really brings a lot of people together to have them experience things they’ve never really experienced before,” Obarski said.

This year, Twisted Horn will serve cider inside Backfence Society and in an outdoor vendor booth.

While the folkloric imagery of the event may seem intense to the uninitiated, Yager said the goal is to engage the community in learning about different customs and traditions in a fun and creative way. She emphasized that the event is family-friendly, with several children walking in the procession with their parents.

In the weeks leading up to the market, Yager has held lectures about Alpine traditions and the folklore that forms the basis of many Christmas traditions. Backfence Society has also held crafting events, where people can make puppets for the procession.

“Something that I’m really proud of is the level of civic engagement for this event that’s once a year. The amount of engagement that’s happening, and community building, it’s really fabulous,” Yager said.

The free event will be held from 4 to 8:30 p.m. on Dec. 14 at Backfence Society, 110 South Citrus Avenue. RSVP on Eventbrite at rb.gy/p0qaua.

Help stop Quail Meadows

By Steven Gerken

Our case against Quail Meadows

Apartments caught the City Council’s attention on Nov. 20. On a 4-0 vote, the council agreed to delay its decision on the massive project until Feb. 12.

That gives Encinitas Citizens for Responsible Development, an all-volunteer community association, about 10 weeks to raise funds and retain experts to gather still more information to show how the proposed 448unit complex violates environmental laws.

We support affordable housing. Our fight is to require responsible development of affordable housing and compliance with environmental law so that development does not threaten public safety and unique coastal habitat.

The council’s postponement acknowledges that affordable housing projects — despite the many carrots and sticks written into state mandates — don’t deserve carte blanche exceptions from the Coastal Act and California Environmental Quality Act.

Pricey coastal real estate? Look inland

Not many places could take a 5% drop in their median home price and still remain the most expensive ZIP code in America for real estate.

But Atherton did that this year, taking a $400,000 median price dip, but still maintaining a median of $7.9 million per property sold.

This brought Atherton’s 94027 ZIP code, in San Mateo County slightly north of Stanford University, its eighth consecutive title as the priciest place in America.

many areas, with inland California boasting prime areas for development.

The prospect of new communities in some currently vacant desert areas has also been touted by some housing officials as a solution not only to the affordability crisis, but also to homelessness.

Local efforts to halt the largest apartment complex in the city’s history need support.

ney will further demonstrate that plans for two, four-story buildings on 12 acres at Quail Gardens Drive and Kristen Court are incompatible with existing wetlands, protected habitat, steep slopes and a stream — identified in 1948 as a blueline stream on government maps, an inland waterway that feeds into Cottonwood Creek.

Last month, Mayor-elect Bruce Ehlers and council members-elect Jim O’Hara and Luke Shaffer rode to historic victories on campaigns that promised to fight state housing mandates.

At City Hall, a new City Council will be seated when the continued public hear-

ing reopens Feb. 12. Ehlers and his new colleagues could follow through by retaining special counsel to advise Encinitas on the intersections of housing and environmental laws.

Encinitas residents and business owners deserve to be represented by experts in public agency law, land use and planning, housing and CEQA.

We trust that the City of Encinitas, with new leadership and a new willingness to challenge state housing mandates, will seek that counsel.

For nearly two decades, we have lobbied for responsible development on Quail Gardens Drive. Even with the law on our side, fighting well-funded developers is expensive.

To continue to pay appeal fees and engage scientific and legal professionals, Encinitas Citizens for Responsible Development needs your help. Thank you for making a donation of any size at www.ecrd.info.

To the Editor: I am grateful to Marcelo Garzo Montalvo for reminding us about the rich history of ethnic studies, now that it is expanding into elementary and high schools (“Do Ethnic Studies Right,” Nov. 29, 2024).

As a teacher in a public California campus, I am delighted by how the field has already shed light on cultures and communities that have seemed silent — even forcibly silenced — until now.

But I wonder about his insistence that ethnic studies remain tied to its political roots, and that somehow this represents the better way for schools to introduce it to adolescents and teenagers.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m all for fighting oppression,

exposing underlying power structures and empowering students to be agents of change, all of which, apparently, drove the movement behind ethnic studies when it burst on the scenes in the 1960s.

But the author gives us no reason to think that the origin of the field has some kind of authoritative monopoly over how we should understand and develop it today.

Sociology, for example, began with a somewhat political purpose, partly in opposition to the approach that dominated economics at the time.

But plenty of its practitioners and students today — probably the vast majority — see sociology simply as a domain of empirical and

theoretical research, both qualitative and quantitative, illuminating social life. I see no reason to think of this as failing to “do sociology right.”

The author similarly provides no evidence that young, pre-college Californians will learn more from ethnic studies if they see it as fundamentally agenda-driven.

In fact, if recent history is any guide, fields of study gain more ground — and fewer opponents — the less they are politicized.

Would the author prefer to do ethnic studies “right,” as he understands it, if that risked not doing it at all?

Jeff Helmreich is associate professor of philosophy at UC Irvine.

But Newport Beach is not far behind. The seaside Orange County city has three ZIP codes with median prices topping $4.6 million, all up a few hundred thousand from last year.

It’s rather eye-popping, but of the 10 priciest ZIPs in the nation, seven are in California. The median is the price level where half of all sales are for higher amounts and half for lower.

For both Atherton and Newport Beach, this means in practical terms that sales prices topping $10 million have lately been pretty common.

Only Atherton among the highest-price California ZIPs has no waterfront. But not to worry, it is within a couple of miles of several marinas fronting on the San Francisco Bay, where homeowners can also park their boats — even if they can’t dock outside their back doors, like at some properties in Newport Beach.

There’s a lesson here for young families wanting to live in California, but unable to afford the ultra-high prices of the most expensive ZIPs: Look inland.

Areas like Glendale, Pasadena, Rancho Bernardo, Tracy and Elk Grove sport plenty of extremely livable homes and condominiums at prices far beneath what similar properties draw in coastal communities.

This explains why California’s inland areas are growing far faster than coastal locales.

In fact, coastal areas in other areas of the country also boast prices soaring above what almost any first-time buyer can afford.

The three non-California ZIPs on the national top 10 list include one in Miami Beach, Fla., and two on Long Island, N.Y.

High prices that are nevertheless still rising were common not just in California and the other top 10 ZIPs, but also nationally, creating a crisis that presidential candidates last fall promised to fix by spurring the building of millions of new homes.

These would rise in

After real estate prices slipped a little overall in 2022 and 2023, says the Property Shark real estate research firm which generated the latest top 10 rankings, they rose again this year in most places.

The firm reports that two-thirds of the nation’s 100 priciest ZIP codes saw sale prices increase in 2024, compared with just 29% in 2023.

One result was that a record 15 ZIP codes saw median sale prices of $4 million or more.

Plus, prices in large cities pretty much mirrored the top rankings of ZIP codes.

New York, which took over last year for Los Angeles as America’s highprice leader among sizable cities, retained that ranking, even as its toniest ZIP, which includes Tribeca, was only No. 23 nationally. L.A. remained No. 2, with Palo Alto trailing not far behind at No. 4.

A key finding is that about two-thirds of America’s priciest ZIPs are clustered in Los Angeles, Santa Clara, San Mateo and Orange counties, contributing to the home price crisis that has driven many young professionals to live in other states while telecommuting to jobs in California, putting in only occasional appearances at their nominal offices.

One side effect has been that neighboring states like Nevada and Arizona are now more politically centrist than their long history as Republican bastions might indicate.

Ex-Californians have also driven up prices markedly in those states, as well as Idaho, Texas and Oregon, where many new residents arriving from California report being ostracized by longer-term residents.

The bottom line: The priciest California areas show no signs of major pricing retreats, which leaves few coastal options for young families seeking to buy first homes.

That makes looking inland — even to deserts — a must for many.

Knights’ historic season ends in title game loss

Granite Hills

RB Max Turner cruises for 5 TDs

By Noah Perkins

SAN

MARCOS

— A season of triumph ended in heartbreak for San Marcos as turnovers and an early 21-point deficit proved insurmountable in a 42-25 loss to Granite Hills in the San Diego Section Division I Championship game.

Heading into the championship game, the Knights (11-2, 5-0 Palomar) had gone undefeated in conference play, won a Palomar League title and boasted a nearly 300-point score differential against opposing teams this year.

“We had a very strong team bond that only strengthened as the season went on,” said senior wide receiver and linebacker Elijah Bechtel, who led the Knights’ defense with 10 tackles. “We have amazing players but just came up a little short.”

However, San Marcos’ record-breaking season, seven-game win streak, and postseason hopes ended in one fell swoop Saturday night at Southwestern College. The Eagles’ sixth-straight victory and third-consecutive division title punch their ticket to the Southern California Regionals.

Granite Hills senior running back Max Turner set the tone early with a two-yard touchdown run on the Eagles’ opening

drive, foreshadowing what would be a long evening for the San Marcos defense and a career night for the standout rusher.

Turner finished with 220 yards on 29 carries and five touchdowns.

“[Turner] does a fantastic job of getting behind his bigger blockers and hiding behind them,” said San Marcos defensive line

Wave FC president leaves club for FIFA

By City News Service

SAN DIEGO — San Diego Wave FC President

Jill Ellis will step down from her role with the club effective immediately and will become the Chief of Football at FIFA, it was announced this week.

“I want to extend a huge thank you to the staff and players of the Wave for their profound commitment to the club,’’ Ellis said in a Dec. 3 statement that wished the club and its new ownership group “the very best for the future.’’

San Diego Wave FC Owner Lauren Leichtman praised Ellis in a statement that also noted the new owner’s vision for the club’s future.

“Under Jill’s leadership, the Wave set a standard of excellence as an expansion club in the NWSL. The new owners of the club are committed to building a culture of winning on and off the

pitch....Additionally, we are excited to announce that we are in the final phase of identifying a new head coach on the heels of a global search. We look forward to sharing additional developments ahead of the 2025 NWSL season.’’

After the Wave earned the best regular-season record in the league in 2023, last season was a struggle. The club fired coach Casey Stoney in June, and Stoney was replaced by Paul Buckle and then Landon Donovan. The club announced last month that Donovan would not be returning as coach, and the search for a permanent coach continues.

Ellis’ departure follows off-the-field controversies that included allegations of a toxic and hostile work environment under her watch.

A former videographer with the team alleged over social media that more than 30 employees have either quit or been fired since the team’s inception, and Alvarado called for Ellis’ removal from the club and the NWSL.

coach Nick Sienkiewicz. “He really reminds me of a young Darren Sproles and does a great job not going down on first contact as well.”

Trailing early, San Marcos appeared poised to respond, marching deep into Granite Hills territory before junior quarterback Kreet Makihele’s pass was intercepted by defensive

tackle Kuba Pollak. The turnover led to a 63-yard touchdown pass for Granite Hills.

Early in the second quarter, Turner added another goal-line touchdown, extending the Eagles’ lead to 21-0.

“Granite Hills’ rushing performance is one of the best we have faced this season,” Sienkiewicz said.

“Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.”

“It’s hard to say too much positively when we give up 42 points, but our boys fought as they have done all year.”

San Marcos gained momentum late in the first half with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Makihele to CJ Williams.

A recovered fumble on the ensuing kickoff set up a Caleb Reese rushing touchdown for San Marcos, narrowing the Knights’ deficit to 21-12 after a failed twopoint conversion.

The Knights opened the second half with a brief flicker of hope after a 99-yard kickoff return touchdown by Brady Pohl, marking 18 unanswered points to cut Granite Hills’ lead to 21-18.

“Our guys never quit and showed grit throughout the game,” Bechtel said.

Granite Hills quickly answered with another Turner rushing touchdown, effectively quashing San Marcos’ comeback hopes.

“Up front, I thought we played like warriors and forced them to get out of some of the stuff they do really well,” Sienkiewicz said, who acknowledged the efforts of underclassmen Ty Sagersar (who finished with 11 sacks this season), Colton Walker and Micah Paula.

“Kieran Sullivan, the lone senior, was lights out and the heartbeat of the line this year,” Sienkiewicz added.

Makihele capped the Knights’ scoring with a

14-yard touchdown pass to senior receiver Colton Willard with six minutes left in the fourth quarter, marking the final touchdown of the season for San Marcos.

Despite his Palomar League Offensive Player of the Year honors, Makihele struggled in the title game, throwing three interceptions and losing a fumble.

Coming into the game, Makihele had thrown 42 touchdowns against just six interceptions for the season, bouncing back from a broken collarbone that sidelined him for a chunk of the season last year.

“[Playing with Kreet] is amazing,” Bechtel said. “He’s a great player and a great person on and off the field. He has a huge future ahead of him.”

Makihele’s 44 passing touchdowns this season are a school record, with Knights’ senior wide receiver Jase Nix also setting a new mark for pass catchers.

Granite Hills secured its third consecutive section championship, while San Marcos reflected on a transformative season under head coach Tom Carroll, who inherited a 1-10 program in 2022.

“Our season is just the start for a winning San Marcos football program,” Bechtel said. “We were sad of course as would anyone after losing. Coach Carroll and the staff were proud of the fight we had and had nothing but love for us seniors.”

Carlsbad OKs new medical office

Officials note parking concerns for Village project

By Walker Armstrong CARLSBAD —

The Carlsbad City Council unanimously approved a resolution on Dec. 3 to move forward with a two-story medical office building located at the corner of Grand Avenue and Hope Avenue in the city’s Village Center District.

The Grand Hope Medical Office development, which aligns with the city’s Climate Action Plan and Village and Barrio Master Plan, is expected to provide a mix of transportation and environmental benefits while addressing some public concerns.

While the council praised the project's design and alignment with city goals, parking concerns dominated the discussion.

“We didn't have public comment in person here in council chambers tonight, but we did receive a lot of public comment, and of course, the planning commission did too,” Councilmember Teresa Acosta said in the meeting. “It seemed to me that the number one concern about the

project was parking.”

In a written comment, resident Stan Katz said that eight covered parking spaces aren’t sufficient for a 10,000-square-foot medical building.

“The current building is one-fifth that size and has more parking,” Katz wrote. “This will cause parking issues in the neighborhood.”

Resident Keith Valentine agreed, questioning why a new office building seven times larger than the existing structure would have a 20% reduction in onsite parking.

The approved project at 2879 Hope Avenue will replace an existing one-story structure with a 10,671-square-foot medical office building featuring three tenant spaces, a common egress balcony, and a

one-story parking garage.

The applicant requested and received approval for a modification to the building massing standard, which typically requires a five-foot step back in the facade every 40 feet.

A 2,803-square-foot enclosed parking garage will be included in the project, featuring four traditional parking spaces and two lift systems, each accommodating two vehicles, for a total of eight parking spaces.

Under state law, local governments cannot enforce minimum parking requirements for developments within a half-mile of public transit, such as the nearby Carlsbad Village Train Station.

As a result, the applicant proposed eight electric

vehicle spaces, exceeding state requirements.

Following public concerns, the Planning Commission revised the parking plan to include four EV spaces, three standard spaces, and one ADA space.

Councilmember Melanie Burkholder, who represents the district where the project will be built, said parking was her primary concern for the project.

“There have been some numbers thrown at us that there would be, like, 300plus people coming in and out of these spaces,” Burkholder said. “So I was just wondering if we could look at those numbers.”

Acosta acknowledged the constraints and emphasized the need for creative solutions to address the broader parking challenges in the village.

“We’re going to have to think of other creative ways to create public transit or find other parking systems in the village,” she said.

Despite these challenges, council members commended the applicant for a project they believe will enhance the area.

“Thank you for a beautiful building, and thank you for trusting Carlsbad with this project,” Councilmember Priya Bhat-Patel said.

Old Sears location slated for 71 homes

By Leo Place

SAN MARCOS — The former Sears site along San Marcos Boulevard, which has sat vacant for 15 years, will be transformed into a 71-unit residential development with accompanying commercial space after the Planning Commission approved project plans on Monday.

Housing developer Lennar Homes proposed the project, which it says will complement its neighboring development at the former Restaurant Row site that was approved last year.

The 2.7-acre lot has been eyed for residential development for years but never broke ground after The McDonald Group received entitlements for a separate 82-unit development in 2018.

San Marcos Development Group LLC has owned the property since 2021, and Lennar is currently in escrow to obtain it.

“It came to us as an opportunity for acquisition in the middle of last year,” said Lennar Director of Entitlement David Shepherd. “We thought, let’s see what we can do, given what we’ve

“He had been working on putting up Christmas lights ... Something that we always did for our client,’’ the GoFundMe page reads.

done with Restaurant Row.”

The Planning Commission approved the project on Monday by a 6-1 vote. Since the application does not include a rezone, specific plan or General Plan amendment, it only requires commission approval and does not need to go before the City Council.

The project includes for-sale condominium units ranging from one to three bedrooms. A mixed-use building fronting San Marcos Boulevard will include 17 two-story townhomes above a mixed-use first story, with eight separate buildings behind it holding 54 three-story attached rowhomes.

On the first floor of the street-facing building, there will be around 3,000 square feet of resident amenities and another 3,000 square feet of commercial space for lease, with no commercial tenants identified at this time.

Parking was a topic of scrutiny at the meeting, as Lennar proposed making around one-third of the project’s 161 parking spaces

EPD chief retires

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO — Escondido Police Chief Ed Varso

will retire on Dec. 6, concluding a 27-year law enforcement career that included nearly 23 years with the Escondido Police Department.

The city will launch a nationwide search for his replacement after the first of the year, with plans to appoint a new chief by June.

Varso, who announced his retirement last month, began his career in 1997 with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department before joining the Escondido Police Department in 2001.

Over the next two decades, he rose through the ranks, holding positions as sergeant, lieutenant, captain, and assistant chief before becoming chief in early 2020.

“It has been an honor to serve as chief of police through some of the most challenging times ever to face the city of Escondido,” Varso said in a news release.

In 2022, Varso briefly left EPD to help build the newly established Menifee Police Department, where he worked to instill core policing values before returning to Escondido as chief.

During his tenure, he gained experience in nearly every division of the department, including special investigations, traffic, and emergency negotiations, and served as the public information officer.

City Manager Sean McGlynn praised Varso for his contributions.

“Ed has been an incredible leader during his time in Escondido,” McGlynn said. “He has been extremely visible in our community and has proactively made himself available to our residents.”

The city plans to rotate the department’s three current captains as acting chief until a successor is named.

“I want to thank (McGlynn), the Escondido City Council, and our entire community for entrusting me to lead your police department, not just once, but twice,” Varso said. “I have my full faith in the current EPD management team and look forward to seeing them take this exceptional police department to new heights.”

Sage Road to reopen after yearlong closure

By Samantha Nelson FALLBROOK — Sage

Road, a key connection for Fallbrook-area residents to state Route 76 and an alternative fire evacuation route, is expected to reopen after repairs are completed later this month.

The road has been closed since last winter when heavy rainstorms caused the culvert beneath it to collapse, forcing its closure for safety reasons.

The yearlong closure has been a source of frustration for residents and raised serious concerns when the Garden Fire recently broke out, leaving only one evacuation route in the fire-prone area.

Sage Road falls under a special district called a permanent road division (PRD), established and funded by property owners along the road. The county does not maintain or fund the road, leaving residents in the PRD responsible for financing repairs through assessments or special taxes.

Any changes to the funding or approval for repairs require a majority vote by property owners.

“Think of us as a contractor only doing work for them when requested and paid for,” said Miles Himmel, communications director for Supervisor Jim Desmond’s office.

The Pala Mesa 13A PRD, which oversees Sage Road, has been underfunded since 2020 and currently faces an estimated $5 million in road maintenance needs. Earlier this year, residents were informed of the necessary repairs and costs.

While the county encouraged residents to apply for a loan to help fund the

work, a lack of consensus among property owners prevented action.

“It would be like someone coming onto your property, doing construction, and forcing you to pay for it when you didn’t ask for it,” Himmel explained.

Sage Road, a secondary exit for the neighborhood, also serves as an alternative fire evacuation route. When it was closed, residents were forced to use only one other exit, which caused great concern when the Garden Fire broke out a few weeks ago.

“We just don’t want to die in a fire up here,” Susie Pusch, a Fallbrook resident who lives on Sumac Road with her husband, told CBS8 in November.

Recently, the county identified a more cost-effective way to complete the repairs, reducing the cost to $77,144, which the PRD’s funds can cover.

Crews will work 12hour days between Dec. 1620 to reopen the road.

While Pusch welcomed news of the repairs, she expressed concern about ongoing construction to repair a water pipeline in the area. The San Diego County Water Authority began the $42 million project about a month ago, staging heavy equipment along Sage Road, which Pusch said is causing additional wear and tear on the already fragile route.

“We never received a notice about the project,” Pusch said. “The day before the fire, a massive truck got stuck in front of our house for about a half-hour, blocking neighbors from leaving and entering.”

Pusch and others on the PRD road committee

have raised questions about who authorized the project given Sage Road’s damaged state.

“We are concerned more damage will be done and we will be left to foot the bill via PRD taxes,” she said.

Repairs to Sage Road are expected to alleviate some immediate safety concerns, but residents still face challenges navigating ongoing infrastructure issues in the area.

PATNOE

— The Carlsbad City Council on Tuesday appointed Assistant City Manager Geoff Patnoe as the city’s next city manager starting Dec. 19. A UC Davis graduate with a degree in political science and public service, Patnoe will succeed Scott Chadwick, who announced his departure on Nov. 21 to become president and CEO of the Port of San Diego.

In March 2020, Patnoe was hired as assistant city manager, playing a key role in guiding the city through the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I’m so happy for Jimmy,” Sanchez said, noting similarities between herself and Figueroa as Oceanside natives who grew up in historically underserved neighborhoods.

“This is a great opportunity, but it’s going to be on us to show the community that we will put them

“We’ve seen Geoff in action and have been impressed by his strategic thinking and leadership,” Carlsbad Mayor Keith Blackburn said in a statement.

Patnoe’s more than 20 years of local government experience include serving for a decade as the director of the county’s Office of Strategy & Intergovernmental Affairs and executive director of the San Diego County Taxpayers Association.

“We have a great team in place, and together we will work hard every day to deliver an exceptional level of service to our residents and businesses,” Patnoe said.

Thoughts on Thanksgiving

ask mr. marketing rob weinberg

Over the past several months, I’ve been increasingly upset about the state of the world. I couldn’t wait for the election to pass so we could all move on with our lives.

You may recall the lunch I had in August, reuniting me with a childhood friend whom I hadn’t seen in 20 years. As we parted, I asked her if she was happy with her life. Her response: “I’m grateful.”

I’ve since given the wisdom of that answer a lot of thought. And without getting maudlin, I’m taking a moment here to reflect on the important things in my own life.

Sales wizard Zig Ziglar noted, “The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.”

In that spirit, I’m taking time today to appreciate the many things, large and small, that make my days better.

These include a loving wife and daughter, my physical and mental health, and an affordable roof over my head. Our home has clean water and heat, and

we never go to bed hungry.

We get to travel and spend time with good friends. I appreciate nature’s beauty, taking time to absorb the experience whenever possible. I enjoy my bride’s culinary skills and my daughter’s baking, and I value the importance of music and art in my daily life.

As I consider this topic further, I’m grateful I command the community’s respect. I enjoy my career and do what I love. And, except under the worst circumstances, we’re maintaining our sense of humor.

I’m appreciative of a comfortable office chair and a window to look out of. With luck, I’ll soon have another puppy in my life to watch old movies with me.

And chocolate. Let’s not forget chocolate!

I learn new stuff from everyone I meet. Each morning’s a clean slate, ripe for adventure. My life includes smiles, laughter, hugs and old friends with whom I can share deep, thoughtful conversations where I can take off the mask and be the real me.

Finally, I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts and engage with so many. I get positive feedback that strengthens me and criticism to help me improve myself.

So, while everything’s not perfect, I look at all I’ve got…and I am grateful for a good life.

Thank you for being a part of it.

TURKEY TROT

Over 8,300 participants kicked off their Thanksgiving holiday at the O’side Turkey Trot on Nov. 28, the largest field size the race has seen since 2017. The top-ranked trot celebrated its 19th annual event and its second year in the care of producers San Diego Running Co.

DAMAGE CONTROL

Oceanside’s Nathan Hunt serves as a third class damage controlman aboard the USS Sterett, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer as the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group conducts routine operations in the US Third Fleet area of operations in the Pacific Ocean.

LION RELEASED

A young female mountain lion who was found severely emaciated, anemic and with soft tissue trauma after an animal attack in the Yucca Valley in May was released in San Bernardino County after healing for six months at the San Diego Humane Society’s Ramona Wildlife Center.

PIE PATROL

The Oceanside Police Department and other law enforcement agencies delivered pies to at least 175 people throughout the San Diego County community during Operation Pie Patrol on Nov. 25. This is the program’s fourth year and first for Oceanside. The program started in 2020 to help curb elderly loneliness during the COVID-19 pandemic.

BUDGET AWARD

The City of Carlsbad’s annual budget has been recognized by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States

and Canada for the 19th year in a row. The award is the highest form of recognition from the organization, which demonstrates the city’s budget serves as a guide for policy, financial planning, operations and transparency.

CAREER FAIR

Grauer School students got the chance to hear from parents who are professionals in industries including the arts, business, biotech, education, engineering, entrepreneurship and product development, human resources, law, medicine, real estate, sales and marketing and more during the school’s Career Fair held earlier in November.

Pets of the Week

SKIDDY is Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s pet of the week. He is a 2-year-old, 16-pound, male domestic short hair cat with a black coat.

Skiddy was picked up as a stray before he was taken to a crowded, local shelter. When nobody showed up to reclaim him, he was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters.

His report card says Skiddy is all revved up and ready to roll into a home filled with fun. With his boundless energy and outgoing personality, this big boy is eager to find the right family to share his adventures.

The $100 adoption fee for Skiddy includes medical exam, neuter services, up-to-date vaccinations, and a registered microchip.

For more information, stop by Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas, call 760-753-6413 or visit www.SDpets.org. The kennels and cattery are open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day except Tuesday.

BERGELMIR is the San Diego Humane Society’s pet of the week. He is a 3-year-old, 53.5-pound American pitbull terrier mix with a fawn and white coat.

Bergelmir is an energetic dog who is looking for a new best friend. He enjoys the company of his favorite humans and like-minded dogs.

He may need help learning some leash skills and other dog manners. With treats and positive reinforcement training, he should be back on track. He will do best in an adult household or somewhere without young children.

Bergelmir’s adoption fee is $25 until Dec. 17, after which it will return to $110. He has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered.

He is available at the San Diego Campus at 5500 Gaines St., open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fees include spay/ neuter services, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, an incentive for pet insurance and a license for residence in the city limits of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, Escondido, Oceanside, Poway, San Diego, San Marcos, Santee, Solana Beach and Vista.

WETSUIT SEASON

water spot

Anyone born in this century is tired of hearing how rough previous generations had it. In my youth the stories were about walking 5 miles in the snow. We now tell the children about how we surfed in the winter without wetsuits, sitting around a fire ring composed of an old car tire. While these stories are true, I don’t look forward to returning to that frigid time.

When I began surfing in 1962, wetsuits were around, but rare, and only in the form of stiff rubber jackets with beaver tails. The tails were rarely employed for warmth but left to flap in the breeze as a kind of speed indicator. (Check old footage of surfers running down the line while that black flag trains behind them.)

It wasn’t until the late ‘60s that I saw what was called a “Farmer John” wetsuit. While this sleeve-

less garment covered everything but the arms, it was, nonetheless, a great improvement. If memory serves, they were made by Santa Cruz surf pioneer Jack O’Neill.

We were surfing Sunset Cliffs one afternoon when a friend of ours exited the water with a Farmer John. When we asked him about it, he replied, “It’s like wearing pajamas.”

Full suits that cover the entire body were not far behind, and then the cold world of surf opened up from Santa Barbara north.

The furthest north I ever surfed was on Vancouver Island in Canada. I was wearing a Rip Curl Wetsuit given me by local surfing pro, Brad Gerlach, along with a set of neoprene booties. After tearing one of the booties on a sharp rock, I was forced to retreat to shore, there to watch the crisp little waves peel into a small bay. The water, I was told, was 42 degrees. I shiver thinking about it.

This year, our local surf spots have been the coldest in recent memory, hovering at 60 degrees and below. With my full suit out for repair, I am left with a thin jacket and a “short john,” a combo that doesn’t quite do the trick.

If you’re considering a new wetsuit and don’t want to spend a ton of cash, I suggest layering. You can buy a warm jacket that will work well in all seasons but win-

There are many great wetsuit brands available in all the surf shops. They all look good, but some of them fall apart before the last north swell has creased

When I began surfing in 1962, wetsuits were around, but rare, and only in the form of stiff rubber jackets with beaver tails ... left to flap in the breeze as a kind of speed indicator.

ter, and a long john to accompany it when the ocean temp plummets. Of course, you can spring for a series of suits for all occasions, but that option can be pricey.

the points. I suggest checking with friends before purchasing any wetsuit. While I am not endorsed by any company, one of the best wetsuit com-

panies I’ve encountered is Boz. They can be tailor-made to your shape, and while they are assembled in Peru, you can find an outlet to serve you in San Diego. Boz can be reached by hitting the link: mapquest. com/us/california/boz-wetsuits-402478504

Holiday cheers: Gift ideas for the craft beer crowd

With the holiday gift-giving season ahead of us, it seems like the perfect time to help guide those who have a beer enthusiast among their family and friends.

As always, the goal is to support our local businesses — especially independently owned breweries and beer-adjacent partners.

What Not to Buy

Let’s start with what the beer enthusiast doesn’t need this holiday season. While results may vary, my careful case study of one beer lover has made it clear that there are a few things they just don’t want:

• Another beer cozy (no matter how clever the comment on it is)

• Another shaker pint glass (no matter how personalized)

• Another generic beer shirt found on Amazon’s “gifts for beer lover” search (invariably and incredibly both too small and too large

Joel Grier’s “Flights Across America: A Brewery Lover’s Journey,” which will be released Dec. 17, inspires readers to explore breweries across the country.

Beer Events

Tickets for local beer events and festivals make fantastic gifts. Here are a few upcoming events to consider:

• Dec. 7: South O Brewing’s 3rd Anniversary Invitational (featuring exclusive bottle offerings)

• Dec. 6-7: Pizza Port’s Strong Ale Festival

at the same time)

• Another bottle opener (unless it comes with a bottle of something to open)

What to Buy Instead

Here are some options that will truly impress:

Local Brewery Swag: Let your gift recipient show off their “if you know, you know” beer knowledge wherever they go. For something funny, check out Inzane Brewing’s selection of beer-witticisms. For local vibes, South O Brewing has redesigned its merch to highlight its community zeal and history.

Burgeon Beer Company gives 1% back to the planet through their tree-planting initiative, so that’s two gifts

for the price of one!

Hoppy Beer Hoppy Life Merchandise: Locally owned and specializing in stylish, beer-themed designs, Hoppy Beer Hoppy Life offers high-quality, unique options. Check out their website or Instagram for the latest releases.

Special Beer Releases: Many local breweries announce new beer releases on their social media platforms. Keep an eye out for holiday-themed beers.

Craft Markets at Breweries: Shop for unique, beer-inspired gifts at local craft markets hosted by breweries.

Pure Project Guided Beer Tastings: Impress your beer-loving friend

Struggling with Weight Loss?

Before After

Renowned cardiologist, Dr. Chavira, has developed and supervised a unique and comprehensive approach to weight loss management. Most programs focus only on weight loss, increased activity and healthy eating. While this is a worth while endeavor, the complications of obesity, such as hypertension, diabetes, high- cholesterol and a higher rate of cancer, must also be addressed for patients to reduce risks and optimally improve overall health, weight loss and quality of life.

Contact Dr. Chavira for a FREE visit to explain the details of this revolutionary program to healthy weight loss.

This clinic offers cash based programs for those serious about health and weight management.

with in-person or virtual tastings led by one of Pure Project’s in-house, Cicerone-certified staff. Check their website for details.

The Brewers Taproom Mystery Bags: Travis Hudson, manager of the Brewers Taproom in Encinitas, says their bags include 6-8 beers of different styles and breweries. “It’s a great way to get people to try beers they wouldn’t normally buy and expand the palates of typical beer drinkers,” Hudson said. Mystery Bags are also perfect for BBQs, camping trips, or holiday parties.

Membership Clubs: Big spender, are you? Ok, here’s one: a membership to AleSmith’s Order of the Anvil.

RECIPE

At $375 annually, it offers exclusive beers, free tastings, and discounts. Other local breweries also have membership clubs worth exploring.

Homebrewing Supplies: SoCal Brewing Supply, a local family and veteran-owned shop, has starter kits for beginners and hardto-find equipment for experienced brewers. “If we don’t have something, I’ll get it,” says co-founder Travis Johnson.

Books About Beer: “Drink Beer, Think Beer” by John Holl changes the way readers approach and appreciate beer.

“The Beer Bible” by Jeff Alworth is an updated deep dive into all things beer.

• Jan. 11: San Diego Beer Fest

• Jan. 18: Burgeon Beer Company’s 8th Anniversary Invitational (known for its impressive guest brewery lineup)

Of course, what beer enthusiasts — and perhaps all of us — want most is the gift of time. Take time to visit local breweries and taprooms, supporting local businesses while enjoying live entertainment and games.

Candy cane pretzel bark cookies

StatePoint

When we think about the holidays, a lot of the special moments we remember most fondly from years past involve sharing food with loved ones — from festive cookie exchanges to the scents and smells of family-favorite dishes and desserts, to warm beverages on cold nights.

In that spirit, McCormick is partnering with famed bakery Milk Bar and its rule-breaking, award-winning founder and CEO, Christina Tosi, to create and share Milk Bar and McCormick Candy Cane Pretzel Bark Cookies.

As part of the collaboration, McCormick and Milk Bar are sharing the recipe, so you can make these delectable cookies at home!

Ingredients:

• 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup light brown sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 teaspoon McCormick Pure Peppermint Extract

• 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

• 2 cups white chocolate chips

• 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons McCormick Candy Cane Sugar, divided

• 1 1/2 cups mini pretzels

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two halfsheet pans with no-stick cooking spray or line with parchment or silicone baking mats. Mix butter and sugars in large bowl with heavy spatula for about 2 minutes until well blended. Add egg and extracts, stirring until combined and fluffy, about 1 minute.

2. Mix flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in medium bowl. Add dry ingredients to butter and sugar mixture, stirring just until combined. Stir in white chocolate chips, 3

tablespoons of the Candy Cane Sugar and mini pretzels, mixing until evenly blended.

3. Place remaining 1/4 cup Candy Cane Sugar in medium bowl. Use a 1/3cup measuring cup or 2 3/4-ounce cookie scoop to portion dough into balls. Toss dough balls in Candy Cane Sugar to coat and place 2 to 3 inches apart on prepared baking pans.

4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until edges are golden brown. Cool completely before serving.

Tip: Can’t get your hands on McCormick Candy Cane Sugar? Increase McCormick Peppermint Extract to 1 1/2 teaspoons, stir in 2 tablespoons of red colored sugar along with the chocolate chips, then use 1/4 cup red colored sugar to roll cookies before baking.

Sandwich nirvana at Board & Brew in Encinitas

As I’ve expressed in past columns on the regular, I am a big fan of a well-crafted sandwich, something I’m not going to be able to create myself easily.

I’ve heard friends rave about Board and Brew for years but have never had one convenient to my work or personal daily life.

That changed recently when I noticed the sandwich shop opened in the Trader Joe’s/Ralphs shopping center (formally known as Encinitas Village Center) in May on the northeast corner of El Camino Real and Encinitas Boulevard.

Given that Trader Joe’s is my weekly go-to store for groceries and wine and the rare shopping experience I look forward to, having a Board and Brew to add to the experience just made it even better.

Before I dig into their story and what makes them so great, I’ll say upfront that I would be happy and satisfied eating any sandwich or salad on their menu. Most of them are sizable enough to be stretched into two meals if you have that type of portion self-control, and well, that varies for me as some of them are so delicious I just can’t stop.

The backstory goes something like this: Founder Tom Powers started Board and Brew in 1979 in Del Mar with a simple idea — to provide the freshest, highest-quality food at the best value. That value still holds true, as they really do serve hefty portions.

The open-air patio, a slate of local craft beers (including their own) and the Baja-reggae-surf-skate set-

ting are the perfect representation of this area. It just so happens that the Encinitas franchise is owned by local Clayton Wheeler, who, along with business partner Craig Applegate, now holds 11 franchises.

There are now over 30 Board and Brew locations in California and Arizona. I’d love to see them expand to Michigan, as their concept would work well in some of the state’s coastal areas.

As I mentioned, I’ve eaten my way through most of the menu and can honestly say there is something for everyone here. I’m go-

ing to focus on my top five sandwiches and a salad or two to mix it up a bit.

The Turkado has become my go-to, and for good reason. It’s thinly sliced turkey breast, and Jack cheese topped with Avocado, mayo, onion, tomato and lettuce on sourdough. Actually, I am always happy with any of their turkey options, which also include the Turkey Deluxe, Turkey Club and California Delight.

I’ve also derived great pleasure from the Tub O’Tuna, Veggie Supreme and Italian Sub. I should note that all these sandos are made extra special by the

bread they are served on, be it sourdough, baguette or sweet wheat bread. They all provide the perfect vessel to complement and handle the toppings stacked high.

That brings me to the hot sandwiches, and there is not a weak link among them. Of course, being the French Dip freak I am, I had to try their Beef Dip, as they call it. It’s a solid version for sure, with freshly baked roast beef and melted Swiss cheese on a toasted baguette and a cup of au jus perfect for dipping. They even offered up a side of horseradish to give it a kick, which I gladly accept-

ed.

The Left Coast Pastrami is their take on the deli classic one of their heavier options but still worthy. I’ll leave the pepperoncini peppers off next time as I don’t think they add to the sandwich, but I still devoured it

enthusiastically. Baja Beef, Roast Beef Spicy, Baja Chicken, Chicken Club and a Baja wrap for all you gluten-free folks round out the hot sandwiches.

I should also note that most of them come with a side of their Secret Sauce, a scratch-made delicious addition that they say provides their “sandos liftoff to a whole new planet of flavor.” I like that description. I’ve also accompanied all my sandwich experiences with their homemade potato salad, which is perfect. Now, if they would only offer a nice pickle slice to go with it, I’d shower even more love on the Board & Brew experience.

And while salads are not top of mind for me here, their Chopped Salad is a winner. It’s a tasty mix of Genoa salami, smoked ham, Jack cheese, Banana peppers, chopped tomatoes, red onions, Garbanzo beans, and green leaf lettuce with Italian dressing on the side. They also offer a Cobb, Caesar and Green salad.

A freshly baked chocolate chip cookie and assorted dirty chips round out the sides.

And while I’ve not partaken in the “brew” side of Board and Brew, the bar portion was hopping on a recent Sunday with folks enjoying their favorite local beers and football.

The great thing is that if you are reading this in North County, there will be a Board and Brew not far away. If you’ve not been, I’d highly suggest it. All the details and locations are at www.boardandbrew.com.

Glögg tastings, classic cars at Deer Park Winery

Celebrate the season as glögg arrives at Deer Park Winery and Auto Museum. This mulled wine, loaded with all the best Christmas spices, is available in the decorated tasting room or in the olive garden next to Stanta's slaigh to get you in all the Holliday spirit.

At the New Year — still in festive holiday spirit — welcome home the “Spirit of Escondido,” a 1903 Oldsmobile, from completing the famed London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. This run celebrates the emancipation of the motor car and the sole San Diego County entry should return via cargo ship through the Panama Canal around Jan. 6, 2025.

Spanning 15 acres, this family-owned estate invites visitors to explore its award-winning wines and an extensive collection of classic convertibles and Americana memorabilia. The museum boasts over 100 classic cars, with a particular emphasis on convertibles from the late 1800s to the “last convertible” of 1976. Housed across three distinct buildings, the collection features iconic models such as the 1959 Cadillac Biarritz, celebrated for its distinctive tail fins and bullet taillights, and the 1950 Nash Rambler, famously known as the “Lois Lane” car and for driving Marylin Monroe in the east coast Christmas parade. Each vehicle is accompanied by detailed information, offering insights into its historical significance and design.

Complementing the automotive exhibits, Deer Park Winery produces a selection of estate-grown wines. The tasting room offers flights featuring varietals such as Sangiovese, Petite Syrah, Merlot, Chardonnay, Cham-

pagne and in the winter, the gold medal port style wines.

Guests can enjoy their tastings on a sunlit patio overlooking the vineyards, with options to pair wines with charcuterie boards, cheeses, and freshly baked French baguettes.

As the holiday season approaches, Deer Park Winery and Auto Museum is set to enhance its offerings with festive events and activities. Get away from the maddening midday crowds and relax. On Dec. 7, the venue will host a Winter Party featuring complimentary Glögg tastings — a traditional Scandinavian mulled wine — accompanied by a live music performance.

This event provides an opportunity for guests to immerse themselves in the holiday spirit while exploring the museum's extensive collection of classic cars and Americana artifacts. The museum and tasting room maintain their standard operating hours, open Thursday through Monday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., ensuring ample opportunity for holiday visitors to experience the unique blend of automotive history and viticulture that Deer Park Winery & Auto Museum provides. For more information, visit deerparkmuseum.com. Located at 29013 Champagne Blvd., Escondido, CA.

The perfect holiday gift? Give the gift of music

The holidays are a time for joy, giving, and celebration. Finding a gift that truly stands out can be a challenge, but this year, consider a present that sparks creativity and lasts a lifetime: the gift of music lessons. It’s a thoughtful and meaningful choice that will leave a lasting impression on the recipient and bring joy for years to come.

WHY MUSIC LESSONS?

Music lessons are more than just an activity; they’re a transformative experience. For children, teens, or adults, learning an instrument or honing vocal skills offers countless rewards. It’s a gift that nurtures creativity, fosters discipline, and brings happiness. Unlike toys or gadgets that might lose their novelty, music lessons provide a skill and passion that can be cherished forever.

When you give the gift of music, you’re investing in personal growth, emotional well-being, and a creative outlet. It’s a gift that keeps giving, as students of all ages build skills that enhance their lives in immeasurable ways.

A PATH TO CONFIDENCE AND CREATIVITY

Music education is a gateway to building confidence and character. It teaches focus, discipline, and perseverance—qualities that resonate across all areas of life. Research shows that students in-

volved in music tend to perform better academically, scoring significantly higher on standardized tests. Beyond academics, music promotes emotional well-being, reduces stress, and fosters happiness.

Imagine gifting someone the opportunity to explore their creative potential, express themselves, and feel empowered through the universal language of music. Whether it’s strumming a guitar, singing their favorite songs, or mastering piano melodies, the confidence and joy gained through

music lessons are priceless.

BENEFITS FOR ALL AGES

Music lessons aren’t just for children—adults benefit too! Many adults regret not learning an instrument earlier in life or wish they hadn’t stopped. The good news? It’s never too late to start. Adults who begin music lessons often discover a new passion, enjoy relaxation, and even experience cognitive and physical benefits, such as better coordination and faster response times.

For children, music lessons

create a safe space to explore emotions and ideas while opening doors to self-expression. Teens often find music to be a constructive way to channel their energy and creativity. Across all ages, music connects us in a way that words often cannot.

CELEBRATING LOCAL AND NATIONAL RECOGNITION

At Leading Note Studios, we’ve proudly served the community for over 15 years, fostering a love for music in students of all ages. Our dedication to excellence has been recognized locally and nationally. For five consecutive years, we’ve received the “Best of Encinitas” award, and in 2021, we were honored with the prestigious title of National Music School of the Year.

These accolades reflect the passion of our talented instructors and the success of our students.

From beginner to advanced levels, we create an environment where creativity flourishes, confidence grows, and lifelong skills are built.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS AND PARENTS SAY

“Leading Note Studios has been a wonderful place for my daughter to learn piano. The instructors are patient and knowledgeable, and she looks forward to her lessons every week.” – Sarah G.

“As an adult learner, I was nervous about starting guitar

lessons, but the team at Leading Note made me feel comfortable and confident. It’s never too late to start!” – Michael T.

“We’ve seen such incredible growth in our son’s confidence since he began voice lessons. He’s thriving not only as a singer but also as a student.” – Amanda P.

GIVE THE GIFT THAT LASTS

This holiday season, give a gift that inspires creativity and joy: music lessons. At Leading Note Studios, we offer personalized instruction for all ages and skill levels. Whether it’s piano, guitar, voice, or another instrument, we have expert instructors ready to guide your loved one on their musical journey.

How to protect your heart over the holidays

By Pratiksha Gandhi

The holiday season is a time of joy and connection, but it’s also a

when heart attack rates spike.

Studies show that more heart attack deaths occur on Dec. 25, Dec. 26 and Jan. 1 than any other days of the year. Overeating, excessive drinking, stress, and disrupted routines are major factors.

For some, loneliness or family tensions add to holiday stress, which can strain your heart health. But with a few mindful habits, you can enjoy the season while protecting your heart:

PRACTICE

‘HARA HACHI BU’

Adopt the Japanese principle of eating until you are 80% full, known as Hara Hachi Bu. This helps

you avoid overeating while still enjoying holiday meals. Fill your plate with hearthealthy options like vegetables, fruits, and lean pro -

teins, and savor each bite.

CONNECT WITH OTHERS

If you feel lonely, reach

STUDIES SHOW that more heart attack deaths occur on Dec. 25, Dec. 26 and Jan. 1 than any other days of the year. Stock photo

out to friends, neighbors, or even volunteer.

Helping others can create meaningful bonds and reduce stress.

DRINK SMART

Avoid too much alcohol, which can lead to “holiday heart syndrome,” causing irregular heart rhythms. Opt for water or festive non-alcoholic drinks.

STAY ACTIVE

Incorporate movement into your day, like taking a walk after meals. Physical activity reduces stress and supports heart health.

SET BOUNDARIES

Family gatherings can trigger old tensions. Politely excuse yourself from conflicts or steer conversations toward positive topics.

MANAGE STRESS

Take time for yourself with simple practices like deep breathing, meditation, or even quiet moments

with a good book.

KNOW THE SIGNS

Be alert for symptoms like chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath. If these occur, seek medical attention immediately.

By practicing mindful habits like Hara Hachi Bu and focusing on connection and self-care, you can protect your heart and create a joyful, healthy holiday season.

Remember, the best gift you can give yourself and your loved ones is your health.

Gratitude as your holiday superpower: 5 transformative tips

The holidays are more than just a time for gifts and gatherings

— they’re an opportunity to pause, reflect and ground ourselves in gratitude. At 4ntent, we see gratitude not just as a seasonal sentiment but as a powerful tool for personal growth and resilience.

angie & marc rosenberg

the smallest joys — a warm cup of coffee, a kind word or even a moment of peace — that have the biggest impact. Start by acknowledging one thing you’re thankful for each morning to set a positive tone for the day.

Through our MENTAL EDGE Framework, we help athletes achieve lasting confidence and mental clarity. While we won’t unveil all the elements of this transformative system just yet, we’ll share five actionable tips that can make gratitude your superpower this holiday season.

1. START SMALL: GRATITUDE FOR THE EVERYDAY Gratitude doesn’t have to be grandiose. Often, it’s

Quick tip: Keep a sticky note by your bedside. Before you get up, jot down one thing you’re grateful for. Watch how this simple act shapes your mood.

2. TAKE A GRATITUDE BREAK WHEN STRESSED

The holidays can bring moments of overwhelm. When tension arises, use gratitude as a quick mental reset. Focusing on a positive aspect of the situation — even something small — can help shift your mindset and bring immediate relief.

Quick tip: When stress strikes, take 30 seconds to list three things in the moment you’re thankful for. This mental pause can be surprisingly calming.

3. USE GRATITUDE TO STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIPS

Gratitude has the power to transform how we connect with others. A sincere

“thank you” or acknowledgment of someone’s impact can deepen bonds and create lasting positivity.

Quick tip: Each week this season, take a moment to send a message or write a note to someone you appreciate. Be specific — tell them exactly why you’re grateful for them.

4. ALIGN MIND AND BODY IN GRATITUDE

True gratitude isn’t just a thought — it’s something

you feel. Connecting your mind and body can help anchor gratitude deeper within you. Activities like mindful breathing or a walk outside can enhance your sense of presence and thankfulness.

Quick tip: Take a 5-minute “gratitude stroll.”

Focus on your senses and appreciate the beauty around you — whether it’s the crisp air, the sound of leaves or the colors of the season.

5. REFLECT TO CREATE LASTING GRATITUDE

Gratitude is a skill that grows with practice. The holidays are the perfect time to reflect on the positive mo-

ments of the year and set the stage for a gratitude-filled future.

Quick tip: Dedicate 10 minutes to reflecting on the past year. Write down three moments that made you smile and what they taught you. Revisit these reflections whenever you need a boost.

WHAT’S NEXT

At 4ntent, gratitude is just one of many tools in the MENTAL EDGE Framework — a system designed to empower mental clarity, emotional resilience and lasting transformation. These tips are just the beginning of what’s possible when you align your mind and actions for success. Curious about how you can take gratitude — and your personal growth — to the next level? Stay tuned as we explore more ways to create meaningful change, one step at a time. This holiday season, let gratitude guide your heart, lift your spirit and strengthen your relationships. Remember, the practice of gratitude doesn’t end when the decorations come down — it’s a skill that can transform your life year-round.

Happy Holidays from all of us at 4ntent!

DON’T IGNORE ISSUES WITH YOUR BITE

By Carey O’Rielly DDS and Tracy Evans DDS

How your teeth come together and how well you chew is known as your “bite,” or occlusion. Problems with your bite can result from crowding, an over or under developed jaw, missing teeth and improperly erupted teeth.

Unaddressed bite issues can lead to tooth loss and infection. It can also cause tooth wear, damage and breakage, due to clenching and grinding. Chewing that isn’t optimal can also lead to digestive problems.

Older

Each year, up to 160,000 older adults living in the United States are hospitalized and as many as 10,000 die due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). RSV is a highly contagious virus that spreads through close contact with infected individuals, typically increasing during the fall and peaking in winter.

While most people with RSV develop mild symptoms, like that of a common cold, RSV can cause severe illness in older adults, especially those with certain medical conditions, like chronic lung disease, chronic heart disease or a weakened immune system.

That’s why the American Lung Associatio is encouraging adults at increased risk for severe illness to protect themselves against RSV. Here’s what they want you to know:

Severe Illness is Preventable: In 2023, RSV vaccines became available to help protect older adults from severe RSV illness, however, according to the most recent data, only 24% of older adults received it.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends RSV vaccination

One patient who came to the office had been clenching and grinding so much that the enamel, the outer, hard tissue of several teeth had worn away. This exposed the dentin, or softer tooth, which caused sensitivity.

Someone else who wondered what could be

causing pain in all his teeth was asked if he might be clenching or grinding. The answer was yes. He was beginning to lift heavier weights and when he did that, he clenched! Grinding or “bruxism” can also cause jaw pain or pain around the ears. Problems that result from

crowding, missing teeth, or an over-/underdeveloped jaw can often be addressed by orthodontic treatment.

Using either traditional wires or Invisalign aligners, the teeth can be shifted into a position that is best for the bite. Invisalign treatment consists of progressive trays that are pop -

ular because they are simple to use.

The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are the only two-sided joint in the body and it takes the brunt of all biting and chewing.

When the area becomes inflamed, it is known as temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD).

for adults aged 75 and older, and adults ages 60 to 74 at increased risk for severe RSV disease.

National Immunization Survey data shows that RSV vaccination rates vary, with 27% of white/non-Hispanic adults having received a vaccine, compared to 21% of Black/non-Hispanic adults, and 15% of Hispanic/Latino adults. At the same time, Black and Hispanic/Lati-

no populations have higher rates of underlying conditions that increase the risk of severe RSV illness.

Healthy Habits Can Also Help Stop the Spread: In addition to vaccination, you can help stop the spread of RSV with these everyday actions:

• Washing your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds

• Covering your coughs

and sneezes with a tissue

• Avoiding close contact with people who are sick

• Staying at home when you are sick and avoiding close contact with others

• Cleaning frequently touched surfaces

• Taking steps for cleaner indoor air

For more information about RSV in adults and to learn steps to prevent severe illness, visit Lung.org/rsv.

This can also lead to head and neck pain or wearing of the cartilage or bone in the jaw joint. Wear and tear on these joints will also affect chewing over time.

Another factor that could cause a bite issue is recent dental work that’s set too high. Not only are high spots a nuisance, they can also produce pain and soreness in the tooth just worked on. This pain usually will not go away until it is adjusted, so be sure to let your dentist know if there is pain or discomfort that lasts more than a couple of days.

into tandem spots, in which cars park directly behind each other. Lennar requested and was granted a conditional use permit exempting them from the city’s standard 10% limit on tandem spaces in a project.

Planning commissioners said tandem parking poses unique challenges and expressed concerns about resident and visitor parking spilling over to the Regal Cinemas site directly east. Commissioner Kevin Norris said the HOA will need to enforce parking rules and not leave it to the theater to deal with it.

“Cars are going to be parked wherever they can, and I think a lot of them are gonna wind up in the theater,” Norris said.

Shepherd said the HOA will have a parking management plan but that they can’t control people who choose to break the rules. He added that tandem parking was necessary to achieve the desired density and that the garages are essentially the only areas where people can park onsite.

Commissioner Lionel Saulsberry said he would like to see more communication with the movie theater to prevent potential

“I’m glad that something is going to be happening with that Sears building, but I do have concerns about the parking,” Saulsberry said.

While the Sears project is separate from the Restaurant Row project, Lennar said the two sites will be connected with shared courtyards, walking paths, and a shared entry driveway. There will also be improved pedestrian, bike and vehicle connectivity, and the two sites will likely have a combined HOA.

Lennar will also complete improvements to San Marcos Boulevard as part of the project, including six on-street parking spaces, an improved sidewalk, and a local access lane for bikers and cars.

The Restaurant Row project, known as The Row, will construct 202 housing units, over 10,000 square feet of commercial space, and a 1.5-acre park with a skate park and pickleball courts. City leaders approved these plans in late 2023, hoping that they would invigorate the area after the decline of the once-thriving dining and entertainment hub established in the 1970s.

Shepherd said Lennar hopes to have homes at the Sears site open and for sale by late 2025 or early 2026.

ing the project until after this vote.

“The Project, as presently envisioned, is a for-profit business whose scale, density and metrics far exceed anything undertaken in Rancho Santa Fe’s almost 100-year history and would drive a stake in the heart of all the RSFA’s Governing Documents, especially the Covenant itself, and likely will lead to further similar large scale developments that will destroy historic Rancho Santa Fe,” the petition states.

Dick Clotfelter, an 87-year-old Rancho Santa Fe resident and former association board member who has lived in the ranch most of his life, said residents had voted many times over the years regarding changes to the language of the covenant. The Silvergate situation should follow the same standard, he said.

“It doesn’t fit the zoning of what that land is zoned for. That would require a modification,” Clotfelter said. “The covenant is very clear that if there is disagreement, it should be brought to the people.”

AmeriCare states that the project is permitted under the current zoning and will be developed be -

Affordable Home Opportunities in Encinitas

Point Farms Affordable Apartments

We are excited to announce the availability of 40 one-to-three-bedroom affordable housing apartments located at 1150 Quail Gardens Drive, Encinitas, CA 92024, for qualified very low-income households at 50 percent, or less, of the annual area median income (AMI). Four of the units are reserved for households whose incomes are 30 percent, or less, of the AMI.

IMPORTANT DATES

Interest list opens to the public - December 14, 2024

Interest list closes - December 28, 2024

Lottery Selection Date - January 3, 2025 INTEREST

WEBSITE: https://www.liveatfoxpointfarms.com/

Please visit https://www.liveatfoxpointfarms.com/ to register for the interest list which will be open for two weeks only and then close. When the waitlist closes, a lottery will be held in approximately two weeks later, and winners will be contacted in the following weeks via email and notified of their place on the waitlist. The 40 affordable units will have a staggered release for occupancy over the next year and half, which translates to 2-3 units per month becoming ready for occupancy and assuming no construction delays. Four units are immediately available; however, actual occupancy of the 36 remaining affordable units will take a significant amount of time and immediate occupancy should not be expected. Lottery winners will be contacted in sequential order to start the income eligibility process, which takes about four weeks. If lottery winners do not meet the eligibility requirements, then they will not be able to occupy the affordable units, and we will move on to the next lottery winner. Due to overwhelming demand, we will not have the ability to be in contact with all interested parties and will have updates available only on our website. We anticipate having a telephone line available in January 2025 which will be posted on the property website, along with all other updates. We thank you in advance for your patience with us over the course of this exciting lease-up process and wish you the very best!

low the maximum density allowed for Class C, which permits up to 50% site coverage and building heights up to 35 feet. The project will have less than 25% site coverage and a mix of single- and two-story structures.

“We have had earlier conversations with the County’s planning department and they have confirmed that the Silvergate Retirement Residence project that we are proposing for the Rancho Santa Fe site is allowed under their Land Use Matrix, subject to receiving an approved Major Use Permit for the project,” said AmeriCare CEO David Petree.

Some Art Jury members have also raised these questions, and on Nov. 19,

the jury agreed to hire a land use attorney to consult on this matter.

Residents have also raised concerns about the land being in a flood plain, especially considering rising water levels and the higher frequency of rain and flooding events in recent years.

On Tuesday, Clotfelter sent a letter to the RSF Association board claiming that AmeriCare has not used an updated flood map to plan their project and that the project poses liability and risks for Rancho Santa Fe and its residents.

While the site is largely flat, Greg Petree said only the southwest corner is located within the flood plain, and all building pads will be elevated safely

above flood levels. The site also has two bioretention basins to capture stormwater runoff and sits several feet higher than the agricultural site to the south, he added.

If Silvergate passes muster with the Art Jury, the project will still require approval from the RSF Association Board of Directors and a major use permit from the County of San Diego. AmeriCare leaders said they hope to start construction next year and open the facility in 2028.

“Any further delays to the approval process for this project would simply exacerbate the shortage of senior living housing in Rancho Santa Fe and the neighboring proximate areas,” said Greg Petree.

Odd Files

Suspicions Confirmed

Parents and teachers at Gosho Kodomo-en kindergarten in southwestern Japan thought for sure someone with a footwear fetish was swiping little shoes from cubbies at the school, the Associated Press reported.

Police installed three cameras in the school, and on Nov. 11, zeroed in on another culprit: a weasel. “It’s great it turned out not to be a human being,” said Deputy Police Chief Hiroaki Inada.

The stolen shoes have not been found, but the school has installed a net over the cubbies to keep the weasel, who is still on the loose, out. [AP, 11/24/2024]

Ewwwww

• Los Angeles is known for many things, but perhaps its most ignominious claim to fame is being the “clogged capital” of the United States on “Brown Friday” — the day after Thanksgiving, when plumbers nationally go out on emergency calls 65% more often than on other Fridays.

Analysis by Yelp showed that plumbing-related searches went up 73% in L.A., followed by 37% in Miami, United Press International reported.

Roto-Rooter said the most common problem ar-

eas were kitchen sinks, toilets and garbage disposals. [UPI, 11/21/2024]

• Looking for a different type of pizza than the standard pepperoni or sausage?

At Pizza Hut restaurants in China, customers are being offered deep-fried frogs on top of their pies, the Independent reported on Nov. 21.

The pizza has a thick crust with red sauce and basil, with a whole fried bullfrog on top. The limited-time variety is being offered in a collaboration with Dungeons and Dragons and is called “Goblin Pizza.” [Independent, 11/21/2024]

Rude

Starting on Jan. 1, the Garden of Remembrance cemetery in Stoke-on-Trent, England, will welcome visitors from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, the Stoke Sentinel reported.

But should family members want to visit at other times, they’ll be required to buy a VIP pass for 5 pounds (or 10 pounds, if they also want to visit the rose garden).

“Now I need to pay a membership fee to visit my dad’s grave,” groused Jode Bourne, whose father, Mark, is buried there. “This is an absolute disgrace.”

A posted notice says the new rules will make “the site secure for our staff, families and visitors.” [Stoke Sentinel, 11/23/2024]

• A prop gravestone for Ebenezer Scrooge, left behind after a 1984 movie adaptation of “A Christmas

Carol” starring George C. Scott, was smashed on Nov. 24, the BBC reported.

The cemetery next to St. Chad’s Church in Shrewsbury, England, was part of the scene where Scrooge meets the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come; much of the movie was filmed there.

Town council clerk Helen Ball said the stone is “in multiple pieces. I think it’s one of those things that’s very dear to everybody’s hearts.” She said the council would determine whether the stone could be repaired.

No Good Deed ...

Nigel Carter, 64, of Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, collected 500 bikes to send to a charity in Sudan that helps people who need cheap transportation to school or work, the BBC reported on Nov. 22.

But a Scottish Environment Protection Agency inspector said the shipment could not leave the port because some of the bikes needed minor repairs, such as oil on chains and new brake cables.

Carter said he found it “ludicrous” that the bikes were returned to him.

A SEPA official said he had a duty to ensure that Scotland’s waste was not dumped on another country, but Carter said the Sudanese charity had picked out the bikes and were happy with their condition.

They will likely be returned to the recycling center where they came from and scrapped. [BBC, 11/22/2024]

It’s

a Mystery

George Oliver of Calvert County, Maryland, often walks the beach looking for fossils, NBC News reported. As he strolled along Chesapeake Bay on Nov. 4 during low tide, he spotted a coffin in the water.

Inside was a nearly whole human skeleton. Oliver removed the skeleton and dug the mostly submerged coffin out of the water.

“When I first found it,” he said, “you could not tell that there was human remains. You just thought that it was full of beach sand.”

Oliver called the sheriff’s department, who called an archaeological society. Based on the construction of the coffin and the condition of the body, it’s believed to be at least 100 years old.

Kelcey Ward, a crime scene technician with the sheriff’s office, said the skull showed signs of “a gunshot wound or blunt force trauma of some sort.” The remains and coffin will be interred at a local cemetery. [NBC News, 11/21/2024]

The Passing Parade

Have you ever really loved a car? The Polara family of Padarshinga Village in India REALLY loved their 18-year-old Suzuki Wagon R, Oddity Central reported. They believed the hatchback to be their lucky car, so when it burned its last gallon of gas, they gave it a special send-off: a lavish burial ceremony attended by more than 1,500 guests.

The Polaras had a

15-foot-deep hole dug on their property, then had the car, covered with flowers and decorated with garlands, lowered into it as music played.

The ceremony included several rituals and cost the Polaras more than $4,500.

“This car was more than just a vehicle,” Sanjay Polara said. “It was part of our journey toward success.”

He plans to plant a tree over the grave as a marker. [Oddity Central, 11/22/2024]

News You Can Use

Looking for a torture method even more sinister than sitting across from your politically outspoken cousin at the holiday dinner table?

LAD Bible reported on Nov. 21 that an Italian monk, Franciscus Brunus de San Severino, described “goat’s tongue” in his 1502 treatise on torture methods — but it’s not entirely clear whether the medieval practice actually took place.

It involves soaking the subject’s feet in saltwater, then securing them in a stock and letting a goat lick them to the point of peeling and bleeding. The torture method, which may date back to ancient Rome, could have resulted in death from infection. [LAD Bible, 11/21/2024]

Air Travel’s Golden Age

On Nov. 25 at Boston’s Logan International Airport, two planes got a tad too chummy on the tarmac, Fox News reported.

An American Airlines

Boeing 777 was being towed when its wing clipped the wing of a Frontier Airlines Airbus A321 that was parked at a gate, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

There were no injuries reported to passengers, but all passengers exited the planes, and American removed its plane from service.

Frontier said all passengers would receive a $100 travel voucher, as well as the option to rebook on Frontier or receive a full refund. An airport spokesperson called it a minor incident. [Fox News, 11/25/2024]

• On Nov. 16, aboard United Airlines flight 502 from Austin, Texas, to Los Angeles, one traveler lost his composure and started beating up ... his seat.

The New York Post reported that the unnamed man, dressed in sweats, stood on his seat and repeatedly kicked its backrest as bystanders watched and took video.

“The flight attendant walked by a couple times, nobody was doing anything,” said witness Gino Galofaro.

He and two other passengers decided to take matters into their own hands, zip-tying the irate passenger’s hands and feet and strapping him into a seat.

About an hour later, as the flight landed, law enforcement met them at the gate. United Airlines said he has been banned from future flights. [NY Post, 11/26/2024]

n a world of uncertain-

ty, I thought that one thing I could count on was that apples grow on trees.

Not so in this southeast corner of Washington State.

As we head toward Walla Walla on this warm, late-September day, we see thousands of rows of trellises supporting millions of ready-for-picking apples. We learn that this growing method directs energy into the fruit rather than a trunk, and it also makes for easier harvesting. No tall ladders and no fighting thick branches. Genius!

When we stop to get a closer look, a friendly farmworker drives by and invites me to pick a couple of apples. I can’t resist.

Besides apples, Walla Walla Valley is known for wheat and wine; the former provides an endless, golden, rolling vista; the latter — well, it’s wine. The birth of the wine industry occurred in 1970, and now Walla Walla Valley American Viticultural Area extends across 3,000 acres and the Oregon border and includes 135 wineries. The AVA is divided into six districts, each offering unique characteristics, growing conditions and experiences. Traveling among its wineries is relax-

ing, easy and crowd-free.

Our visit brought us to three, which offer multiple white blends and reds:

• L’Ecole No. 41 Westside District. Located in a beautifully restored French schoolhouse, circa 1915 when French Canadians resided here. The building serves as both tasting room and history museum.

• Saviah Cellars Southside District. Names of its wines reflect the owners’ Montana roots. Enjoy tasting with a view to vineyards and the Blue Mountains.

• Rotie Cellars — Rocks District, Oregon. A unique industrial-style tasting room and vineyard where vines amazingly thrive among basalt cobblestones, carried to the area by erosion of the Blue Mountains.

You can travel from Walla Walla’s present to its past with a visit to the Fort Walla Walla Museum, which features an extraordinary collection of arti-

facts, exhibits and historic buildings on 15 acres. Visitors learn about the Lewis and Clark expedition, Native American settlements, fur trading, a gold rush, missionaries, the military fort, Buffalo Soldiers and more. The complex is a remarkable endeavor for a city of 33,000.

“Fort Walla Walla Museum is a regional history museum and (this) region has been known as the Cradle of Pacific Northwest history,” says Executive Director James Payne, who began as a volunteer 28 years ago. “For a community of this size to have a collection this large…it shows this community has placed a high value on its heritage.”

Not to miss: The astounding exhibit that replicates a full-size 33-mule team and the combine used to harvest thousands of acres of wheat on the steep slopes of Walla Walla Valley farmland.

“I don't know of anywhere else in the world where you can see this exhibit,” Payne says.

Today, area small farms supply Walla Walla’s restaurants, creating a vibrant scene that focuses on fresh, local products, scratch cooking and creative fusions of flavors. A sampling:

• Hattaway’s on Alder — Southeastern U.S. cuisine is served up by owners/ Southerners Richard and Lindsay Hattaway. Outstanding: The clams in coconut tomato broth and the duck and sausage dirty rice.

• Mama Monacelli’s Kitchen — Owner and expert baker Nancy Monacelli has created a totally gluten-free restaurant (breakfast and lunch). Outstanding: Delectable, gluten-free pastries and muffins.

• TMACS — Third-gen-

eration Walla Walla native Tom Maccarone traded corporate work for restaurant ownership. Outstanding: Lamb chop lollipops, seafood risotto and butternut squash agnolotti.

• Maple Counter Café — Just watching the platefuls of food pass by our table is almost entertainment enough, but our generous, everything-from-scratch breakfast is a feast. Plenty of gluten-free options. Prepare for leftovers. Not far from these eat-

eries is the Wesley Walla Walla, an 1878 Victorian mansion that has been beautifully renovated with great attention to detail by owners David and Robert Wesley. Generous space is allotted to patio seating and a garden. Suites and common areas showcase the couple’s art collection, and manager Pascal went above and beyond to make our stay perfect.

Give hope to animals this holiday season

This holiday season, the greatest gift you can give to animals in need is a second chance. San Diego Humane Society has hundreds of pets in their shelters, waiting for a loving home. But if you aren’t ready to adopt, there are still ways to make an incredible impact for shelter animals.

Here’s how you can change lives this December and beyond:

1. Adopt: If you’ve been thinking about adding a new companion to your family, now’s the time! Adopting a shelter pet is an incredible way to add magic to this holiday season and create memories that will last a lifetime. Plus, you’ll make the future merry and bright for you, your new pet and the next animal who will benefit from the space you’ve created in the shelter. Browse adoptable pets at sdhumane.org/adopt

2. Foster: By temporarily opening your heart and home to a shelter pet, you give animals the opportunity to decompress, reducing their stress and minimizing their risk of illness. Fostering a pet also creates space in the shelter for another animal with nowhere else to turn! Whether you foster for a few days or a few weeks, you can change an animal’s life. And with kittens, puppies, adult dogs and small pets available, there’s sure to be a foster pet who is the right match for your home. Get started

today at sdhumane.org/ foster.

3. Volunteer: The holidays inspire many of us to think ahead to the new year, and how we can give back to the causes that mean the most to us. If animal welfare is important to you, consider donating your time at one of San Diego Humane Society’s five campuses. Opportunities include everything from helping care for animals in the shelter, supporting special events, becoming a community ambassador and more! You can find more information and sign up at sdhumane.org/volunteer

4. Donate: San Diego Humane Society cares for more than 40,000 animals every year, provides support services for pet families in need, and keeps animals and people safe in 13 cities throughout San Diego County. But this work is only possible with the community’s help. When you make a gift to San Diego Humane Society, you give hope to animals and the people who love them. Even better, your donation before Dec. 31 will go twice as far thanks to a generous $500,000 match from the Resource Partners Foundation. Donate today at holidaydrive.org

Your support this holiday season means a brighter year ahead for thousands of animals and pet families in our community. To learn more and get involved, visit sdhumane.org

Travel solutions at Index Urban

With three generations of family ownership, Index Urban knows how to make the destination feel like home for the traveler.

“We are a travel goods store, carrying brands that provide the solution of travel,” owner Jon Cantwell said.

For the modern adventurist, the problem is maximizing what can be packed while minimizing the space it takes to do so.

“Our best-selling brand Briggs & Riley makes such a good bag,” Cantwell said. “Often, people are looking for carry-on only. They want to get there with whatever they have onboard, and they want to get going. They have learned to edit down what they pack.”

The Briggs & Riley bag fits the airline appropriate dimensions of carry-on luggage, but, when opened, expands out beyond the normal width of what is allowed and compresses down.

“The experienced traveler wants to cut down a lot, but that is tough to do if you are going on a two-week trip,” Cantwell said. “If you are going to a colder climate you are going to need heavier jackets. We want to make it easier to get to where you are going.”

For those looking to reduce, a wallet made in

Holland by the brand Secrid, is a current top-seller. The minimal wallet is good for men and women. It fits in the front pocket or a handbag. Flat and compress, stored credit cards are hinged up and staggered and with the tap of a lever you can remove the card you want easily.

“it’s the craziest thing I’ve seen in 40 years of retail,” Cantwell said. “Most people who buy it don’t wake up in the morning thinking I am going to buy a wallet. When one member of the family gets it, it blossoms to a son or daughter or someone else wanting it.”

Brand loyal consumers find the recognizable as they walk Index Urban: Patagonia for the adventurer; Bric’s with an Italian flare; Tumi known for the highend; Fjällräven from Sweden; Topo Designs out of Colorado.

Now open at 967 S Coast Hwy 101 in Encinitas, Index Urban’s sister location has operated in Hillcrest since the late 1950s, when Cantwell’s father-in-law John Balistreri, an immigrant from Palermo, Italy, opened it as a shoe repair

shop. It then evolved to luggage repair and then, naturally, travel goods.

Cantwell’s son Jordan – Balistreri’s grandson – is also involved in the business.

“Three generations is tough to do in retail,” Cantwell said. “You have to try to get better every day and help the customer more than the competition would.”

“He was the quintessential success story,” Cantwell added. “He came from Italy alone at 18, with $36 in his pocket. He learned to be a cobbler on fifth avenue [in Hillcrest] and then when the owner retired, he bought the store. Then he started carrying luggage brands.”

Grandson Jordan’s presence is noticeable throughout both locations with his original abstract paintings featured throughout the store. An art studio that both father and son use is found on the second level at the Hilcrest location.

“We get plenty of people that just come in to look at the art,” Cantwell said. “It helps personalize the store.”

True to Balistreri’s original concept, Index Urban still provides luggage repair

services.

As it goes in Italian "Le tradizioni sono tramandate di generazione in generazione." - Traditions are passed down from generation to generation.

“So much of what we sell we can fix if something goes wrong,” Cantwell said. “That’s important to us too.” 967 S Coast Hwy 101 Ste 105B Encinitas, CA (in the Lumberyard) 760-230-2006
