SMUSD inks deal with spa

Golden Door, school district OK land swap

By Leo Place

The San Marcos Unified School District has entered into a land exchange agreement with the luxury spa resort Golden Door, allowing both parties to expand their operations.

The agreement, approved by the school board on Feb. 12, states that SMUSD will give Golden Door a long-vacant property at 567 Deer Springs Road. In exchange, Golden Door, located just outside the San Marcos city boundary, will acquire and give the district a vacant property at the corner of Cassou Road and North Twin Oaks Valley Road.

“We developed an agreement with Golden Door Properties, in which they will acquire this property and subsequently exchange it for the Deer Springs Road property,” said SMUSD Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Erin Garcia.

SMUSD officials said the district bought the 28-acre Deer Spring Road property many years ago, but it remains undeveloped and has never been used. The lot is adjacent to the 600-acre Golden Door property.

According to the agreement, Golden Door will also pay the district $325,000 to cover the difference in value between the two properties.

The 1.2-acre lot the district will get is adjacent to the alternative school, Twin Oaks High School, and close to other district property, including Twin Oaks Elementary School and the Agriculture Farm.

Deputy Superintendent Tiffany Campbell said the property will

Cutters intercept migrants

Boat with 13 people seized off Encinitas

By Staff

ENCINITAS

—

The

U.S. Coast Guard intercepted 13 migrants aboard a panga-style vessel approximately 22 miles west of Encinitas on Feb. 21, officials said.

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations patrol aircraft spotted the vessel at 7:20 p.m. and alerted Coast Guard watchstanders at Sector San Diego, the department said.

The Coast Guard cutters Haddock and Benjamin Bottoms were diverted to respond, and small boat crews were launched to intercept the vessel.

The AMO aircraft tracked the panga until it entered the U.S. Contiguous Zone, a maritime area extending 24 nautical miles from the U.S. coastline, guiding Coast Guard crews to its location.

Authorities took 13 adults into custody, including 10 men and three women, all of whom claimed Mexican nationality.

The Coast Guard transported the individuals to Sector San Diego, where they were turned over to Border Patrol personnel in San Clemente.

The incident is the latest in a series of apparent maritime smuggling attempts along the San Diego coastline. In January, the Coast Guard stopped a panga boat with 15 migrants off Point Loma.

DA’s Office contacts city over council vacancy

Public integrity unit responds to local complaint

By Leo Place

DEL MAR

—

The city of Del Mar was recently contacted by the San Diego County District Attorney’s Public Integrity Office with questions about the City

Council’s vacant seat, the city attorney confirmed last week.

At the Del Mar City Council’s Feb. 19 meeting, City Attorney Leslie Devaney reported that the DA’s Office contacted her earlier that month and told her that a complaint had been filed with their office regarding the council vacancy that occurred following Dwight Worden’s resignation in the

fall.

The DA’s Public Integrity Office investigates and prosecutes criminal misconduct related to public officials. Devaney said the deputy district attorney who contacted her was calling strictly on background and did not confirm the com-

plainant’s name or whether there would be an investigation.

“She asked if I could give her background on that item, which I did. She also confirmed that the council’s handling of the vacancy is not a criminal matter,” Devaney said.

The DA’s Office declined to comment on the matter.

“We do not provide in-

formation or even confirm whether we are involved in investigations,” spokesperson Tanya Sierra said.

Some community members have criticized the outcome of the recent council vacancy. Between October and November, City Council members repeatedly failed to agree upon an appointee for the position and deadlocked on whether to proceed with a special election.

Because official action was not taken by the November deadline, the council was left with a seat that will remain vacant until the next election in 2026. Some community members and appointee candidates criticized this outcome, with concerns that the four-person council will continue to deadlock and be unable to complete city business.

Suspect details emerge in slaying

Shaffer defends ‘rifle’ comments

By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS — Councilmember

Luke Shaffer on Feb. 19 defended his comments at the previous week’s meeting about the Quail Meadows Apartments project, saying his remarks had been “taken out of context for partisan political objectives” and reaffirming his commitment to serving Encinitas.

“My words were meant to express my commitment to standing up for our town and what we believe is right, not to promote violence or division in any way,” Shaffer said. “Unfortunately, there are individuals who have opposed me from the very beginning who are now trying to misrepresent my words to tarnish my reputation.”

Shaffer’s response came amid criticism over his statements at the council’s Feb. 12 meeting, where he voiced opposition to

state-mandated housing policies and raised concerns about development projects impacting city safety.

During that meeting, the council voted 3-1 to deny two appeals of the Quail Meadows Apartments project, allowing the 448unit development to move forward despite concerns about traffic congestion, drainage infrastructure and the impact on nearby wetlands.

The decision followed hours of public debate and council deliberations, including remarks from Shaffer, who framed his opposition to state housing mandates in historical terms, comparing them to early American struggles against foreign rule.

A

long-overdue fix for nuclear waste costs

By Jim Desmond

You’d be hardpressed to find a Southern Californian who doesn’t know the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS). It’s a landmark we’ve all seen driving on Interstate 5. What many people don’t know is that the facility is also a de facto permanent storage site for spent nuclear fuel.

Even fewer people are aware that this situation is a big financial problem for both taxpayers and nuclear utility ratepayers — a problem that only a renewed focus on government efficiency can solve.

The federal government has failed to make good on a decades-old legal and contractual obligation to build a permanent spent fuel disposal facility, as established in the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982.

When a regular person breaks the terms of a contract, they are frequently responsible for paying financial damages. Unfortunately for U.S. taxpayers, the federal government is no different. Because the government has failed to fulfill its obligation to begin disposing of spent fuel each and every year since 1998, we’re on the hook for the costs of continued storage at nuclear reactor sites like SONGS, which is one of 76 sites in 34 states across the country with stranded spent fuel.

Just how much are we paying? It costs taxpayers a mind-boggling $2 million daily to store spent nuclear fuel on-site. That’s on top of the $10.6 billion we’ve already paid. This situation isn’t fair, and it’s not sustainable.

There’s also the question of ratepayer dollars. Electric utility customers in San Diego County and nationwide have pre-paid to develop a permanent repository that would house spent

fuel deep underground. We’ve already paid $46 billion — including interest income — for that purpose, yet taxpayers continue to foot the bill for on-site storage.

To stop the financial waste, we must address the nuclear waste. That’s why, four years ago, I took action by signing on as co-chair of the Spent Fuel Solutions (SFS) coalition to advocate

Current law also includes a rigid linkage between construction authorization for CIS and a repository that must be revised to avoid a decades-long delay in developing temporary storage facilities.

Finally, SFS supports a collaborative repository siting program similar to the ones that have succeeded in Finland, Sweden and other

Taxpayers are on the hook for a mind-boggling $2 million a day to store spent nuclear fuel on-site.

for real solutions at the federal level. I have been working directly with local leaders, members of Congress, and regulatory agencies to push for a clear path forward.The Department of Energy was already doing its part by pursuing a collaborative siting process for consolidated interim storage (CIS) facilities. Providing nuclear utilities access to offsite storage would help reduce the financial damages taxpayers currently pay to house spent fuel at nuclear reactor sites. Although DOE’s program has been temporarily placed on hold, we are hopeful they will resume work quickly.

In addition to this administrative work, legislative changes will be needed due to limitations in the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 that prevent the timely development of spent fuel solutions. Our coalition has adopted policy principles that address these deficiencies and prioritize efficiencies.

Specifically, we would like to see the U.S. spent fuel management program transferred to a new organization established for that sole purpose. That organization must also have access to reliable funding.

IRest in peace, Roger Diamond california focus

f you’ve ever been accosted by an initiative or recall petition carrier outside a grocery, big box store a la Costco or Home Depot or voted for or against any California initiative in the last 50 years, you have been affected by Roger Jon Diamond.

Diamond, possibly the least known major contributor to California politics in the last century, died at 81 in February, exactly six weeks after he and his family lost their bluffside home in the early January Palisades fire.

The blaze destroyed Diamond’s hacienda-style home of 50 years overlooking the Pacific Ocean and two other homes just blocks away that belonged to his two daughters and their families.

Diamond was best known for his 20 years as head of a community organization called No Oil Inc., which successfully fought off several attempts to drill major oil wells below his bluff and in other coastal zones.

But his biggest political contribution came first in a shopping mall more than 90 miles east in San Bernardino and then in a series of courtrooms.

In 1970, Diamond took on as a nonpaying pro bono client a grassroots group called the People’s Lobby, headed by activists Ed and Joyce Koupal (no relation to Jonathan Coupal, head of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association).

Court, as the mall’s owner Homart Development Co., tightly regulated all activity in its 32-foot-wide corridors and the adjacent parking lots.

The bottom line: Diamond took the case to the state Supreme Court and won access. Eventually, a variety of other court cases and settlements reduced petition carriers to operating almost exclusively outdoors, but still allowing them on store and mall properties. Those settlements have been imitated in most states across the nation.

Koupal’s Environment Initiative made the ballot and lost, but Diamond’s lawsuit lives on.

If you’ve ever walked down a beach accessway between private properties, you were a beneficiary of the 1972 Coastal Initiative, one of the first measures to gather signatures on commercial property.

countries. Recently, Canada formally announced the selection of an informed and willing host community.

Residents in the Township of Ignace confirmed their willingness in a vote, with 77% of respondents affirming their support. A majority in the Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation also agreed to host a spent fuel repository. With the site selection complete after a nearly 15year process, Canada is now poised to begin regulatory reviews.

Legislation that mirrors our coalition’s priorities would affect the critical changes necessary to ensure a successful spent fuel management program similar to Canada’s. It would also help improve the program’s efficiency to safeguard taxpayer dollars and fulfill the federal government’s commitment to disposing of spent nuclear fuel.

Our communities deserve more than empty promises. They deserve fiscally responsible leadership that delivers real results. It’s time to fix this problem once and for all.

Jim Desmond represents District 5 on the San Diego County Board of

The Koupals’ group sought to put an omnibus measure called the Environment Initiative onto the 1972 ballot, and began to gather signatures for it.

This was long before the days when consultants offered anywhere up to $6 per signature for valid John Hancocks from registered voters.

Ed Koupal came up with the then-original idea of seeking out voters at indoor shopping malls, then a fairly new and growing phenomenon. Diamond among them, some Koupal associates began soliciting shoppers at San Bernardino’s Inland Center and were quickly kicked out by county sheriff’s deputies.

Diamond, who had been a lawyer just four years at the time, sued. He claimed shopping malls like the Inland Center –which at the time hosted upwards of 25,000 visitors daily – were de facto public places.

He put his name on the lawsuit against 28year Sheriff Frank Bland, referred to in one biography as “a John Wayne lawman.” It was known as Diamond v. Bland.

The case was quickly laughed out of San Bernardino County Superior

Then-Gov. Ronald Reagan used the same tactic to qualify a tax-cutting ballot initiative in 1973 also taking advantage of Diamond’s lawsuit. Reagan’s measure lost, but morphed into the landmark 1978 Proposition 13, which remains law today and keeps property taxes here well below national averages.

The consumer advocates who qualified the 1988 Proposition 103 to regulate insurance prices also circulated petitions at shopping malls. So did sponsors of later initiatives to ban smoking in most indoor spaces and tinkering with the definitions of felonies and misdemeanors.

Diamond loved all this. “I wanted California to have open politics and I’m glad I helped with that, even if I don’t always agree with the causes they push.”

Diamond was always vocal for the environment, accosting nearby smokers in the stands at countless baseball, football and basketball games. He never left a game early and would castigate friends who sometimes did.

Roger Diamond was a unique contributor to California politics, giving outsiders like himself influence they otherwise never could have had.

Rest in peace, Roger. May we sometime soon encounter more of your kind in politics.

NCTD urgently seeks to replace Sprinter fleet

Transit agency aims to expand microtransit

By Leo Place

OCEANSIDE — The North County Transit District is pursuing a replacement of its Sprinter rail fleet servicing Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido following an increase in mechanical failures and maintenance challenges.

The Sprinter fleet replacement is one of several high-priority capital improvement projects for which NCTD is seeking grant funding in 2025. Replacement of the vehicles alone will cost around $264 million, and necessary upgrades to the platforms and the operations and maintenance facility will cost an additional $87 million.

NCTD obtained the Siemens Desiro diesel multiple units as a “one-off boutique system” that is widely used in the United Kingdom but not seen anywhere else in the United States. Due to various maintenance challenges, only five of the 12 vehicles are currently able to run, with NCTD often sourcing needed parts from other Sprinter vehicles.

Mechanical failures for the Sprinter spiked dramatically in 2024 compared to previous years,

with 282 documented failures last year.

“Because the Sprinter is a one-of-a-kind vehicle, we’re facing challenges sourcing some of the parts. What we’ve been able to do is utilize existing resources on some of the other vehicles, to make sure that we have enough to maintain the service and that we have a spare vehicle in case there is mechanical failure there,”

NCTD Chief of Staff Mary Dover said at the district board’s Feb. 20 meeting.

The fleet is halfway through its advertised 30year lifetime but cannot

wait much longer to be replaced. NCTD CEO Shawn Donaghy said the agency initially planned to replace the fleet in 2035 but is now aiming for as early as 2028 or 2030.

“There is a grave need to replace that fleet,” Donaghy said. “That [maintenance] crew is doing a great job over there, keeping the equipment the best they can on the track, but we really need to escalate our time frame on getting new vehicles in here to really focus our energy on getting rid of the old ones.”

Fleet replacement would also require adjust-

ments to the Sprinter platforms, which are built to accommodate the unique shape and size of the current vehicles.

NCTD has requested $3.2 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s BUILD (Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development) grant program to replace the fleet. The funds will be awarded in the summer.

The agency also plans to double-track 9.5 miles of the Sprinter route as part of the Sprinter Corridor Service Improvement Project to increase service frequency from 30 minutes to 15

minutes.

This project’s first phase will involve upgrading railroad signals and other obsolete infrastructure along the corridor, followed by four separate phases of double tracking.

NCTD received $10.2 million in federal funding last year to upgrade signals in Oceanside and begin preliminary engineering and environmental work for double-tracking on the eastern portion of the corridor between San Marcos and Escondido.

“The Sprinter corridor, to me, is the most important railroad corridor we have in our network. If we could double track that line and get cars on there that could run 15-min service, I think it could be one of the single most successful rail lines in the state of California,” Donaghy said.

Other 2025 priority projects in North County are the Camp Pendleton–San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Double Track and Bridge Replacement Project, which will replace bridges along the corridor and add 1.5 miles of double tracking, and the Buena Creek Grade Separation project, which will eliminate the atgrade Sprinter crossing in the Buena Creek area near Vista.

NCTD and SANDAG are also preparing to begin construction on the San Dieguito Double Tracking and

Special Events Platform project, which will add 2.1 miles of double tracking between Solana Beach and Del Mar, replace the century-old rail bridge across the San Dieguito Lagoon and add a new rail platform at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Construction is expected to begin in early 2026 and finish in 2030.

At the same meeting, the NCTD Board also discussed expanding the NCTD+ microtransit program and discontinuing two Breeze bus routes.

Last summer, the district launched its first NCTD+ program in San Marcos, with an on-demand microtransit serving a 10-mile city zone. The program has seen success, with around 100 weekly riders and one-way trips lowered from $5 to $3.

In May, a second microtransit program will launch in Vista, servicing the Vista Transit Center, Moonlight Amphitheatre, the North County Courthouse and shopping centers like the Vista Terrace Marketplace and Stater Bros on North Santa Fe Avenue.

NCTD has proposed cutting the Breeze 334 one-way circulator route to avoid service duplication and unnecessary spending, as the NCTD+ service area will encompass the route. “Breeze Route 334 is not considered underper-

Public library headed to mall

Escondido plans temporary move amid renovations

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO — Lo-

cal officials are expected to approve a plan in the coming weeks to temporarily relocate the city’s public library to North County Mall for a year while its 45,000-square-foot home undergoes long-overdue modernization.

The Library Board of Trustees recommended the mall as the best of three relocation options, as it would ensure adequate space for the library’s collection and staff during the Escondido Library Critical Infrastructure and Modernization Project.

Built in 1980, the Escondido Public Library is the city’s only library, serving more than 150,000 residents.

Over the years, insufficient funding has left the building with a deteriorating roof, seeping windows, outdated HVAC systems, water-damaged ceilings, cracked floor tiles, and non-compliant ADA accessibility.

In 2021, Escondido received a $10 million grant from the California State Library to address critical infrastructure issues. Last year, the city hired IDS Group for $747,000 to oversee architectural and engineering design.

The city considered three potential temporary locations: gallery space at the California Center for the Arts, a storefront on Grand Avenue, and a

50,000-square-foot space inside North County Mall, previously occupied by Forever 21.

Although the mall had the highest monthly rent, city staff determined it to be the most cost-effective option after considering renovation costs. The estimated one-year moving costs:

North County Mall –$540,000

Storefront on Grand Avenue – $550,000 California Center for the Arts Museum – $510,000 (but offered less than 10,000 square feet of space)

If approved by the City Council on March 19, the library would close for about a month, tentatively between April 14 and May 14, before reopening in its temporary

location near the mall’s food court.

Library trustees expressed concerns about the month-long closure and its impact on patrons, particularly Escondido’s unhoused population, which relies on library services.

“I know some services will be limited, but I want to make sure they can still receive those services,” Trustee Maribel Reyes said at a Feb. 13 board meeting.

Some programming will continue at the Mathes Education Center, adjacent to the library, though services will be scaled back. The Friends of the Library bookstore will also relocate to the mall.

City officials plan a marketing campaign to in-

form the public of the upcoming move.

“We want to make sure we have overly communicated with the public as much as we possibly can,” said Francisco Vargas, a management analyst with the city’s economic development department.

Trustee John Schwab urged city staff to reopen the library as soon as possible after the move, saying, “A month’s a long time to close the library.”

City officials acknowledged the importance of minimizing disruptions.

“We understand that the library is an important service to this community,” Vargas said. “We will speed up that process as much as possible.”

Southwest adding daily flights to Fresno airport

By City News Service

REGION — This fall, Southwest Airlines will begin offering twice-daily flights between San Diego International Airport and Fresno Yosemite International Airport, it was announced last week.

The flights begin Oct. 2 and will operate from Phase 1A of the New Terminal 1, scheduled to open in September.

Additionally, in October, Southwest will expand

service to Tampa, Florida from once a week on Saturdays to five days a week on Thursdays through Mondays. Four seasonal routes to Colorado Springs, Colorado; Columbus, Ohio; Milwaukee; and San José Del Cabo, Mexico will extend to the October schedule.

According to the airport authority, phase 1A of the New T1 will offer 19 gates when it opens this summer and 30 total when Phase 1B opens in 2028.

By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS

— The Encinitas Planning Commission recommended approval of a mature tree ordinance on Feb. 20, advancing the long-debated measure to the City Council for final consideration next month.

The proposed ordinance establishes protections for mature trees on public property and private developments, including new subdivisions, multi-family housing and commercial projects. Several years in the making, the proposal outlines a mitigation process requiring developers to preserve, relocate or replace removed trees at designated ratios.

Single-family homes and properties in very high fire hazard zones would be exempt.

“This effort was initiated by the City Council in December 2021,” said senior planner Evan Jedynak, noting the measure aims to define what qualifies as a mature tree and establish preservation standards.

During public comment, arborist Mark Wisniewski expressed support for the ordinance but raised concerns about enforcement, citing past instances of tree protections not being followed.

“I would just like to see that enforcement is enforced, including on current projects,” he said. Commissioners discussed concerns about the ordinance’s impact on commercial property owners, its applicability to housing density bonus

projects, and why palm and eucalyptus trees are exempt. They also sought clarity on enforcement mechanisms and how the ordinance applies to cityowned properties.

Last September, the Encinitas Planning Commission approved the Torrey Crest residential subdivision with conditions to address concerns over mature tree preservation, traffic and environmental impact.

The density bonus project on Melba Road and Island View Lane in Old Encinitas will demolish all existing structures to make way for 30 single-family homes, including three affordable housing units.

One of the project’s more controversial elements was the potential removal of up to 100 mature trees, some over 100 years old, as part of road widening plans for Melba Road.

The City Council is expected to review the mature tree ordinance on March 26. If adopted, it would introduce new tree preservation requirements for future development in Encinitas.

Fire Station 1

The Encinitas City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved the relocation of Fire Station 1 to a temporary facility at the Pacific View Art Center property, following structural concerns that led to the station’s closure last October.

The council allocated $125,000 to design sewer, water, electrical and IT infrastructure to support the temporary fire station at 608 Third Street. The approximately 2,500-squarefoot modular structure, located in the property’s southeastern corner, will include bedrooms, an office and laundry facilities.

Officials said the facility could later be repurposed for other city needs.

The temporary station is expected to improve emergency response times downtown, which has experienced delays due to train crossings and increased call volumes in high-density areas.

Fire Chief Josh Gordon outlined the challenges posed by the closure of Fire Station 1, citing a 2014 facility conditions assess-

Victim ID’d in hit-run

By City News Service

VISTA — Authorities

have publicly identified an apparent hit-and-run victim who was found dead next to an electric skateboard last week on a Vista roadway.

A passerby found the body of Heath Ogle, 35, in the 2200 block of North Santa Fe Avenue shortly before 10:30 p.m. Feb. 19, according to the county Medical Examiner’s Office.

Investigators believe that Ogle, a Vista resident, had been struck by a vehicle, the agency reported. No other information was publicly available.

Man, 22, arrested for ghost gun

SAN MARCOS — A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of several weapons charges in San Marcos, authorities said Feb. 23.

Daniel Castellanos was taken into custody by deputies just after 8 p.m. Feb. 22 in the 900 block of Mendocino Drive, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities said Castellanos was also wanted for committing domestic violence in the city of Vista on Feb. 21.

“During a search of Castellanos’ vehicle, deputies found a loaded, unregistered, and unserialized handgun (also known as a “ghost gun’’) by the gas pedal,’’ sheriff’s officials said in a statement. “... Ghost guns do not have a serial number or other identifiable markings, making it extremely challenging for law enforcement agencies to track these firearms to their owner or maker.’’

Castellanos was booked into the Vista Detention Facility for alleged domestic violence and additionally on suspicion of four felony charges: manufacture, sale and possess an undetectable firearm; criminal storage of a firearm; carrying a loaded handgun not registered by owner and possession of large capacity magazine.

State legislators float immigration overhaul

GOP: Safety entails changes to sanctuary law

By City News Service

SAN DIEGO — Calling it essential for public safety, the state Senate minority leader and other advocates unveiled a proposed overhaul of California’s “sanctuary state’’ law on Feb. 21 at the downtown San Diego County Administration Center.

Brian Jones, R-San Diego, said Senate Bill 554 would do two things — protect the public from “violent, felony criminal illegal immigrants,’’ and mandate cooperation by local authorities in cases involving specific violent crimes.

Jones’ proposal is a response to state Senate Bill 54, passed in 2017, which limits local and state law enforcement agencies’ involvement in federal immigration enforcement.

According to Jones’ office, SB 554 “prevents local jurisdictions from further restricting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement beyond what SB 54 already prescribes. It also mandates that local law enforcement cooperate with (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) in cases where SB 54 simply allows it, ensuring violent offenders are not shielded from federal immigration authorities.’’

As he stood outside the Administration Center before a podium with a sign reading “Safety Before Sanctuary,’’ Jones said a group of protesters who gathered at the event and other critics hadn’t read his bill.

Those protesting could be heard shouting, “When we fight, we win.’’

Jones said that several months ago, “the radical Democrats on the (San Diego County) Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance describing the county as a super-sanctuary county, to protect the most dangerous illegal immigrants in county from deportation.’’

Last December, supervisors voted 3-1 to restrict

the use of county resources for federal immigration enforcement.

Former board Chairwoman Nora Vargas said the policy “is designed to ensure local resources are focused on addressing the county’s most urgent needs, while protecting families and promoting community trust.’’

Jones said the policy effectively prohibited law enforcement from handling criminal offenses by undocumented migrants, making it easier for them to return to the county and “continue their crime spree, regardless of how many felony convictions they have.’’

Jones represents the 40th District, which includes numerous cities and communities in San Diego County.

State Sen. Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh, R-Yucaipa, said everyone should feel secure, regardless of their background and that neighborhoods should be “the sanctuaries for families.’’

Ochoa Bogh, co-author of SB 554, said the bill would create a safer environment “including (for) undocumented families who deserve protection from those who wish to harm them.’’

Ochoa Bogh said many people believe sanctuary policies were created with noble intentions to protect law-abiding, hardworking undocumented immigrants. However, when those policies extend protections to undocumented violent criminals, “they undermine public trust and safety for all residents, including those they are meant to protect,’’

County water project advances

By Jordan P. Ingram REGION

— The San Diego County Water Authority has reached the halfway mark in a significant infrastructure project to extend the life of the historic First Aqueduct, a critical component of the region’s water supply system.

The $66 million Southern First Aqueduct Facilities Improvement project aims to enhance the reliability of water delivery by renovating nearly 100 structures along two large-diameter pipelines stretching from North County to South County.

“The First Aqueduct has served our region for over 70 years, and this investment is about making sure it continues to do so reliably,” said Nick Serrano, chair of the Water Authority board of directors. “This project is a great example of our water bills at work – ensuring that the infrastructure delivering safe and clean water to our homes and businesses remains strong for generations to come.”

The First Aqueduct, which serves 11 water agencies across San Diego County, has operated for over seven decades. The project focuses on two parallel pipelines built in the late 1940s and 1950s.

flow and maintain reliable service during construction.

The 21-mile-long construction work begins north of Escondido and east of Interstate 15, continues south through Escondido, Poway, Rancho Bernardo and unincorporated areas of San Diego County, and ends at the San Vicente Reservoir in Lakeside.

The project's funding comes from water bills collected across the region as part of the Water Authority’s Capital Improvement Program.

Work began in spring 2024 on Pipeline 2, with the first phase scheduled to conclude at the end of February. The second phase will focus on Pipeline 1, keeping one pipeline in operation at all times to minimize service interruptions.

she added.

“Communities lose faith in the system when they see offenders back into the streets,’’ which leads to a reluctance to report crimes or cooperate with law enforcement officers, Ochoa Bogh said.

She added that SB 554 “is a compassionate and necessary response’’ to the challenges posed by sanctuary policies.

“By refining these laws, we honor the original intent of protecting vulnerable communities, while ensuring those who commit violent crimes are held accountable,’’ she said. “Together, we can create a California where safety and justice prevails for everyone.’’

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who announced his candidacy for governor earlier this week, said his job as the bill progresses in the Legislature will be “to impose some common-sense, some reason and some truth to what we are experiencing here in California, particularly because of the failures of SB 54.’’

That law “and let me make this perfectly clear, does absolutely nothing but harm the people they say they are protecting,’’ Bianco said.

Bianco said when SB 54 first passed, “we told the Legislature of the consequences that were going to happen because of this.’’

Other elected officials supporting Jones, including county Supervisor Joel Anderson, spoke during the event.

A total of 99 structures will be repaired or upgraded as part of the project, including valves used to drain water, access points for pipeline inspections, and valves that release trapped air.

Crews will also build new connections between the two pipelines, making it easier to control water

“As Phase 1 of the project moves toward completion, the Water Authority is grateful to the many neighbors and property owners impacted by the construction for their patience and support as this vital work continues,” Serrano said. “By making these improvements before they become urgent, we avoid more costly repairs and reduce the overall cost of system maintenance while keeping our water supply safe and the taps flowing.”

Residents with questions about water service should contact their local provider. Questions about the project can be directed to FirstAqueduct@sdcwa. org. For more details, including an interactive map showing work locations, visit sdcwa.org/first-aqueduct.

Pets of the Week

ZOUP is Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s pet of the week. She is a 12-year-old, 7-pound, female domestic short hair cat with a brown and white coat. She came to RCHS from a crowded shelter in Orange County through Friends of County Animal Shelters. According to animal care staff, Zoup is hesitant in new situations, but she adjusts quickly.

During the first few days after her transfer, she was scared, and she would meow when people got too close for her comfort. Once she relaxed, Zoup greeted her caregivers by leaning in for pets, then giving them soft head butts. She seems to like her wand toy.

The $75 adoption fee for includes medical exam, spay, up-to-date vaccinations and 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 to the public 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day but Tuesday.

Who’s NEWS?

Business news and special achievements for North San Diego County. Send information via email to community@ coastnewsgroup.com.

Cleo is a joyful and affectionate dog who thrives on activity and attention. She needs plenty of exercise and engaging activities to keep her happy.

She loves people and isn’t shy about leaning in for affection. On walks, Cleo can get excited meeting reactive dogs, so she’ll need a handler who can guide her through those moments.

She is a big fan of fetch with squeaky balls and enjoys a good game of tug-orope. She also loves food and needs to be fed 2-3 times a day with treats in between to keep her satisfied.

Cleo’s adoption fee is $110. She is at the Escondido campus. Fees include spay/neuter services, current vaccinations, permanent microchip ID, an incentive for pet insurance and a license for residence in Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, Escondido, Oceanside, San Diego, San Marcos, Solana Beach and Vista.

Civic servant

Marti Kaye dies

By Staff DEL MAR — Martha

“Marti” Kaye, a longtime Del Mar resident whose passions spanned the arts, environmental activism, and civic engagement, died Feb. 18 of complications from Alzheimer’s disease. She was 91.

Born Martha Louise Wood on Jan. 25, 1934, in Long Beach, she was raised in Laguna Beach and later attended Denison University and the University of Southern California. Her early years included time in Banning, where her father, Dr. Leonard Wood, rode horseback to care for patients on a nearby Indian reservation.

Shortly after marrying Peter Kaye, her husband of 60 years, she moved to Del Mar, where they built a glass and cedar home on Ocean View Avenue, designed by renowned mid-century architect Lloyd Ruocco.

As she raised their three sons — Loren, Terry, and Adam — she pursued a variety of interests, from sculpture and modern art to science and music.

An art enthusiast, she studied at the now-defunct La Jolla Museum School and collected works by Richard Allen Morris and Mac McClain.

She audited science classes at UC San Diego, and her diverse taste in music ranged from jazz pianist Oscar Peterson to violinist Itzhak Perlman to avant-garde composer Harry Partch, whom she befriended.

In the kitchen, her dedication to fresh ingredients made her farmers-market-to-table cooking an art form of its own. That passion extended to the broader community when, in the mid-1980s, she played a key role in founding the Del Mar Farmers Market.

As its first board president, she helped establish it as a nonprofit organization that continues to support the community.

Her civic engagement extended to environmental activism. In 1989, inspired by a former prime minister

DIEGO

— The San Diego Zoo is celebrating 100 years of friendship with Taronga Conservation Society Australia with the arrival of a new female koala joey this year.

of New Zealand, she successfully lobbied the Del Mar City Council to declare the city a nuclear-free zone.

“A lot of people initially said, ‘Why waste your time trying to prevent nuclear war?’” she told the Los Angeles Times at the time. “Because when something like this comes off locally, everyone can stand up and raspberry the big government. Because that’s what it is—a raspberry.”

That same year, she was appointed to Del Mar’s Design Review Board, serving a single term. She also volunteered as a docent at Torrey Pines State Reserve and the San Diego Natural History Museum. Alongside longtime friend Ann Silber, she helped establish a lowcost dental clinic at St. Leo Mission Church in Solana Beach.

A dedicated outdoorswoman, she was an active member of the Sierra Club’s San Diego County chapter, taking weekly hikes in the local mountains and backpacking through the Sierra Nevada with a women’s group. She even climbed Mt. Whitney, California’s tallest peak.

Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2010, she spent her final years in the Carmel Valley home of her devoted caregiver, Alice Rafferty. She died peacefully with her three sons and Alice by her side.

Marti was preceded in death by her husband, Peter Kaye; her parents, Leonard Wood and Anna Bray; her brother Bradford Voight; and her sister Joan Kay.

She is survived by her brother Leonard Wood of Dana Point; her sons Loren (Sacramento), Terry (Torrance), and Adam (Encinitas); five grandchildren — Nicole, Rhianna, Zoe, Thomas, and Ellery; and one great-grandson, Evan.

Donations may be made to the UCSD Shiley-Marcos Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center or the Alzheimer’s Association San Diego/Imperial Chapter.

A celebration of life is pending.

Since 1925, the San Diego Zoo has become home to the largest population of koalas and operates the most successful koala breeding program outside of Australia. This year marks 100 years since the first two koalas arrived in San Diego as a gift from Sydney.

To honor this partnership, Taronga has named the joey Inala (“in-ahlah”), which means place of peace or rest and is from the Wakka Wakka / Jungara (“yung-garrah”) area in Queensland, Australia.

Born to mother Adori, the young marsupial turned 7 months old on Valentine’s Day and is the first koala birth for the zoo in two years.

Young Inala is doing well and has begun exploring outside her mother’s pouch. At times, she can be spotted tucked on her

mom’s belly or riding on her back.

Inala is still nursing but will taste eucalyptus leaves on occasion and will continue to eat more eucalyptus as she grows older.

Koala joeys are born incredibly tiny (roughly the size of a jellybean),

hairless, blind and still developing. Guided by their senses of smell and touch, they make their way into their mother’s pouch to nurse.

Koala joeys typically stay in the pouch for up to seven months and often remain close to their mother

for one to three years. Dedicated experts from San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance study koala populations both at the zoo and in their native Australian environments in effort to better understand the species’ unique ecology, reproductive behaviors and overall health.

According to the Wildlife Alliance, the findings from this work are instrumental in advancing conservation initiatives for koalas and ensuring their survival for generations.

Despite ongoing conservation work and the species’ popularity, koalas are classified as endangered in Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act of Australia.

Main threats to this species in their native habitat include fragmentation, disease and bushfires — such as the wildfires in 2019-20 that burned 59 million acres, roughly the size of the United Kingdom.

Silver Bay Kennel Club Dog Show

Canines steal show at Del Mar Fairgrounds

By Leo Place

DEL MAR — Thousands of dogs of all shapes and sizes, as well as their owners and handlers, took to the Del Mar Fairgrounds this past weekend for the Silver Bay Kennel Club Dog Show.

The three-day expo, which ran from Feb. 21 to

23, featured American Kennel Club all-breed shows, rare breed shows, and obedience and rally events. Silver Bay Kennel Club of San Diego, one of the oldest kennel clubs in Southern California, had 4,299 dogs in the show.

Other clubs involved over the weekend includ-

ed the San Diego Labrador Club, San Diego Dachshund Club, St. Bernard Club of San Diego, Toy Dog Fanciers of North San Diego County, American Eskimo Dog Club of America, Bulldog Club of San Diego County and San Diego Collie Club.

Viewers watched group shows in the sporting,

hound, terrier, working, terrier, toy, non-sporting and herding dog categories, with various breeds taking home titles.

Sabrina Webster, 22, of San Diego, began showing her pug Toulouse last year and attended the SBKC show for the first time on Feb. 21.

“It’s been fun,” she said. “We’ll do another show later today.”

Two-year-old bloodhound GCH Quiet Creek’s Hot Toddy was named Best In Show on Feb. 23. She is handled by Tara Schultz and owned and bred by S Lacroix Hamil and T&B Schultz.

Attendees were also

able to peruse dog boutique vendors and the Dog Expo.

“It’s a family-friendly dog expo where you can see and meet different dog breeds and talk with owners, breeders and dog experts,” said Silver Bay Kennel Club VP Jan Hill. For more information, visit silverbaykc.com.

Locker aims to ‘turn heads’ in final prep season

Carlsbad QB setting records at Maranatha

By Noah Perkins

On a Sunday in late January, with a steady flow of rain coming down, Carlsbad resident and Maranatha Christian junior quarterback Jake Locker dropped back in three quick steps and rolled out right before firing a pass to a receiver on the near sideline.

His navy blue Marantha shirt wet through with sweat and his hair caked with moisture.

Rain or shine, every seven days or so, Locker drives 90 minutes to get out on a high school field in north Los Angeles to work with Danny Hernandez –often called a quarterback guru in football circles.

“We ended up canceling the session a little bit earlier because it got so hard,” Locker told the Coast News. “[Hernandez] had a great mindset: ‘You aren’t going to be in San Diego forever; you are playing away games. You have to get used to it.’ I took his feedback, gripped the ball a little bit looser and was able to excel in the rain.”

Locker throws maybe twice a week in the offseason. The rest of the week is devoted to repetitious bodywork, improving mechanics, strength and speed.

“I focus on the physical side every day,” Locker said. “I’ll be sore on some body parts and then I’ll be working on every other muscle in my body. My goal is 11.5 (seconds) in the 100-meter dash. I don’t throw often, but it’s the details that go into it. Every single day I am putting in towel work;

with the right mindset.”

Going into his senior year, Locker said risk-taking and extending plays are his developmental focus.

“I could have extended plays a little more because I am an athlete and I need to use that part of my game,” Locker said. “The mental part is I want to be too perfect and I care too much. I have to be willing to throw that pick to throw another touchdown.”

going through the motions; perfecting my form; I am never perfect.”

In addition to seven-on-seven practice at Marantha, Locker recently started working with former NFL quarterback and college All-American Akili Smith at SDSU, joining a small group of the county’s best high school quarterbacks.

“[Akili] brings me through all the realistic movements; the finest details within a game,” Locker said. “We work on all types of throws that we may do in a game or at the next level – RPO work; making your reads on time; footwork.”

“His work ethic is as good as it gets,” Marantha senior tight end JD Class added. “He’s ready to work on anything he needs to and pushes himself on the field

and in the weight room.”

In only eight games this past season, after transferring in from Del Norte in week four, Locker set the Marantha stat sheet ablaze, establishing new program records in passing yards (1,911) and touchdowns (27).

With Locker, the Eagles improved to 8-4 after back-to-back five-win seasons.

“He did an unbelievable job coming in and being a great teammate,” said Marantha head coach Nick Novak. “He hit the ground running. His work ethic is unmatched. It makes it easy on a coach when you get a student-athlete like Jake.”

In a five-touchdown performance against O’Farrell Charter School, Locker threw his best pass of the season, a 37-yard touch-

down to receiver Hudson Heinrichs off a play action. The call ‘Fake 31 Z Post Y Cross X Post Sit’ is a favorite of Locker’s.

“You read the safety in the middle if it’s single high,” Locker said. “He should come down on the run fake and you just launch that post. If not, the corner usually runs that post, and the cross is open. If all else fails, there’s a post curl third read. One of those guys is open if you time up your feet. I love it.”

“It was perfectly right over the shoulder where it needed to be,” Class said.

His accuracy and timing, according to teammates and staff, are his biggest attributes as a thrower.

“I ran a seam from the middle of the field and the ball was there right when my hands went up and

it was perfect and exactly where it needed to be,” Class said. “He didn’t wait too long or lead me into a safety.”

“He is a very accurate passer, even when he gets less than two-seconds to get it off,” Novak added. “He’s a pass first run second guy.”

The Marantha season ended with a 20-8 second-round loss to eventual San Diego Section Division V-AA champion Calipatria.

Two months removed, Locker’s three playoff interceptions still gnaw at him.

“I felt pretty confident during the season.” Locker said. “Playoffs came and we were at a size disadvantage. That whole game I wasn’t playing to my best ability. I didn’t take enough risks. I should have played a little more free. I didn’t come out

“Those throws that you see — back shoulder throws — take a lot of trust and reps and practice working with your receivers,” added Novak, who played five seasons with the Chargers and another five bouncing around the NFL as a kicker. “It’s the type of relationship you saw with Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates. He will be able to do that next season because of the buy-in and preparation for what they are doing seven-on-seven. There is a consistency of showing up and a sense of urgency. That’s all it takes.”

Probably a bit overlooked in the county among the pantheon of high school quarterbacks playing at bigger schools, Locker’s goal is Division I college football. This offseason, SDSU and Cornell have shown an interest.

“As long as I know how good I am I don’t get affected by ratings,” Locker said. “I have one more year to turn some heads and get the right coaches looking at me.”

“Colleges may overlook guys at our level because we aren’t playing against DI athletes,” Novak added. “If I can play 10-years in the NFL he can play college football at a DI program. He could play for any [high school] in the county.”

SDFC blanks reigning champs in MLS opener; home debut Saturday

By City News Service

SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Football Club defeated the reigning MLS Cup champion Los Angeles Galaxy, 2-0, in their first game, with Anders Dreyer scoring twice in the second half Sunday in Carson.

“I think the most important thing is that the boys showed conviction for what we’ve been working on all preseason,” SDFC coach Mikey Varas said.

“They showed the quality that they have. I think they did a fantastic thing today. It’s not easy. What they did, they make their football coming to life on the field, and I’m so proud of the conviction that they showed.”

CJ dos Santos made three saves for the shutout, stopping shots by Gabriel Pec in the 47th minute, Miguel Berry in the 79th minute and Ruben Ramos Jr. in the 80th minute.

SDFC capitalized on a failed clearance attempt by Los Angeles defender Emiro Garces for its first goal. Hirving “Chucky” Lozano controlled the ball and sent a cross to Dreyer, who put a left-footed shot past Galaxy goalkeeper Novak Micovic in the 52nd minute.

On the second goal, Dreyer sent a through ball from behind the halfway line that Tomás Ángel outraced Gabriel Pec to control about 30 yards from the goal line. Ángel then drove to just outside the penalty area when he passed diagonally to the on-rushing Dreyer, whose left-footed shot from about 10 yards out hit the crossbar, then bounced past the goal line three minutes into second-half stoppage time.

SDFC led 9-7 in shots and 6-3 in shots and goal in front of a sold- out crowd announced at 25,224 at Dignity Health Sports Park.

Micovic made four saves, stopping shots by Marcus Ingvartsen and Dreyer, both in the 59th minute, Lozano in the 66th minute and a header by Paddy McNair in the 86th minute.

The loss ended the Galaxy's 21-game undefeated streak at Dignity Health Sports Park, including winning the MLS Cup.

The game was the first in MLS for Dreyer and Lozano, who called the victory “a very important step for the club and for the players.”

“We’ve been training a bit over a month, and you see the result that the guys are willing to sacrifice and give our all for the team,” he said. “We showed it on the field and each and one every one of us did our job.”

SDFC makes its home debut at Snapdragon Stadium on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. against St. Louis City SC.

Oceanside to allow four pot storefronts by ’28

Two existing cannabis retailers set for licensure

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —

Oceanside will likely see four storefront cannabis dispensaries open over the next four years, including two reserved for businesses already operating in the city.

The Oceanside City Council approved a framework for storefront dispensaries on Feb. 19, significantly altering staff recommendations. The council increased the number of future dispensaries from three to four, allowed another existing business preferential treatment, and replaced a proposed weighted lottery with a merit-based selection process.

Nearly two years ago, the council directed staff to develop a storefront dispensary program initially intended for two businesses. That later increased to three dispensaries, reserving one license for MedLeaf, Oceanside’s sole cannabis delivery service, if it meets

evaluation criteria, and selecting two additional businesses through a lottery.

MedLeaf representatives previously argued they deserved to bypass the lottery based on their compliance record over five years of operations.

At the Feb. 19 meeting, Left Coast LLC, the city’s only cannabis business with manufacturing and distri-

bution licenses, successfully lobbied for the same preference.

“We’ve been here since the beginning when cannabis was a new idea to the city, ultimately shaping the framework and stigma that the city has today,” said Left Coast owner Alexandria Kometas.

Kometas argued Left Coast had “proven to be

“With cannabis shifting to vertical integration, this will ensure us growth within the city of Oceanside and job stability for our team,” Kometas said.

Several Left Coast employees, including Oceanside residents, supported Kometas’ request.

ed savings have come from. The SSA is ninth on the list, with the Department of Education number one.

The Social Security Administration already faces a major staffing challenge. Testifying before Congress

Councilmember Rick Robinson proposed increasing the dispensary count from three to four to accommodate Left Coast. If they meet city evaluation criteria, both MedLeaf and Left Coast will receive licenses.

Robinson also suggested replacing the lottery for the two remaining licenses with a merit-based scoring system. Licenses would be awarded to the two highest-scoring applicants, with ties broken by a five-member panel using blind, ranked-choice voting.

The council approved Robinson’s amendments by a 4-1 vote, with Mayor Esther Sanchez opposing the increase from three to four dispensaries. By another 4-1 vote, the council eliminated zoning restrictions that previously limited dispensaries to Mission Avenue, Oceanside Boulevard, and Vista Way corridors. New rules allow dispensaries in neighborhood commercial, community commercial, limited commercial, and special commercial zones, in addition to general commercial and industrial areas.

Sanchez and Councilmember Jimmy Figueroa

expressed concerns that dispensaries might concentrate in historically underserved neighborhoods or near schools and youth groups.

City staff clarified that proposed locations near sensitive areas like schools, liquor stores, tattoo parlors, or massage businesses would lose points in the application process.

Staff also recommended limiting historic district restrictions solely to the Historic District Village Commercial Area. Dane Thompson, the city planner overseeing the cannabis program, explained other nearby shopping centers lacked historical connections to Mission San Luis Rey and, therefore, shouldn’t be prohibited.

The city estimates annual tax revenue from four dispensaries to be nearly $1.7 million, based on the current 5% retail tax rate.

City Manager Jonathan Borrego said staff would return with finalized scoring criteria and program rules for council adoption. License selections are anticipated by fall, with businesses expected to begin operating by 2028.

last year, former SSA Commissioner Martin O’Malley said the agency “will serve over 7 million more beneficiaries with about 7,000 fewer full-time permanent staff when compared to FY 2015,’’ by the end of Fiscal Year 2024. If the Oceanside office is indeed closed, North County residents still have an office in San Marcos, as well as in San Diego and several other county locations.

Interfaith to reuse beds for withdrawal services

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO

— The Escondido City Council has approved a request from Interfaith Community Services to repurpose its former emergency shelter beds for withdrawal management services at its headquarters on West Washington Avenue.

In a 3-2 vote on Feb. 19, the council approved an amendment to Interfaith’s conditional use permit, initially granted for the Haven House, a 49-bed emergency shelter. The shelter closed over a year ago due to a lack of funding, leaving the beds unused.

Interfaith CEO Greg Anglea said the organization’s withdrawal program has been effective but is struggling with limited capacity.

“This program is working really, really well – the problem is it’s full,” Anglea told the council.

The program provides a 14-day treatment plan that includes intensive engagement, round-the-clock support, access to healthcare, substance abuse counseling, and mental health services. Participants are then connected to long-term treatment options.

Of the more than 200 individuals who entered the program last year, approximately 70% were homeless in Escondido. Overall, roughly 70% completed

treatment and moved into longer-term care. In the past three months, Interfaith’s outreach teams have placed 45 people into the program, with only two failing to complete it, according to Anglea.

The decision follows a separate council vote last month that approved changes to Interfaith’s permit to address concerns that its services could contribute to issues such as loitering, littering, and increased emergency calls in the area.

Anglea said the program’s existing 10-bed fa-

cility generated just 11 calls for service last year—10 for medical reasons and one related to mental health. He urged the council to approve the expansion, emphasizing its urgency.

“This is an opportunity to help people change lives, to save lives, and to improve the entire community,” Anglea said.

He also pointed to the severity of the region’s substance abuse crisis, noting that Escondido has the highest rate of opioid and methamphetamine overdoses among North County

ment and a more recent seismic study that found the building’s unreinforced masonry would not withstand an earthquake.

The cost to retrofit and bring the station up to code was estimated at $9 million.

“We did not anticipate it necessarily getting red-

cities. The 92027 ZIP code leads in fentanyl overdoses, while 92025 has the highest number of methamphetamine overdoses, he said.

Interfaith plans to fill up to 59 beds in the expanded program. The organization also provides transitional housing and recuperative care for unhoused individuals at its Turk Recuperative Care Center nearby and a family shelter at its Hawthorne Veteran and Family Resource Center.

While many residents and speakers at the council

tagged, but it did,” Gordon said. “The seismic evaluation that we had done basically showed that there was unreinforced masonry that needed to be retrofitted.”

The closure has increased response times, with backup crews operating out of Fire Station 3 on Orpheus Avenue in Leucadia. Gordon noted that the station, originally designed for four personnel, current-

meeting supported the expansion, some voiced concerns that additional withdrawal beds could attract people from other cities. City leaders have previously questioned whether Interfaith primarily serves Escondido residents.

Anglea said the nonprofit prioritizes unsheltered individuals in Escondido and uses case management data to track participants. About 80% of those receiving services have ties to the city, either through family or residency, he said. However, the withdrawal program does not turn away individuals based on their city of origin.

Mayor Dane White, who has previously criticized Interfaith, acknowledged the improved relationship between the city and the nonprofit. He retracted a statement last year to the San Diego Union-Tribune, calling the relationship “beyond repair.”

“Every expectation that I had set forth has been met 100%,” White said. “There is now regular communication – it’s a totally different relationship.”

White, who motioned to approve the permit change, added conditions requiring Interfaith to track data on the program’s participants, including how many are from Escondido, where others come from, and how many complete treatments.

Olejniczak, who had more than 1,300 days credit for custodial time served before sentencing, was imprisoned from February 2004 until November 2013.

The suspect is believed to be traveling with a small white dog in a silver 2013 Chevrolet Equinox, California license No. 8BQJ420.

She is 5 feet, 2 inches tall, weighs about 165 pounds, and has brown eyes, brown hair and tat-

Deputy Mayor Consuelo Martinez and Councilmember Christian Garcia supported the measure.

“I think it’s a step in the right direction,” Martinez said.

Council members Joe Garcia and Judy Fitzgerald voted against the amendment, citing concerns that it could attract more homeless individuals outside the city.

“I believe this will be an attraction,” Joe Garcia said, adding that Escondido must first address its growing homeless population.

Fitzgerald questioned how Interfaith determines whether an individual is from Escondido and said the city shoulders much of North County’s burden for homeless services.

White pushed back against concerns that the program would primarily serve people from outside the city.

“With respect to being from Escondido, we want to help those with ties here, who are from Escondido first, and I wholeheartedly stand by that,” White said. “However, in this particular situation, it can still be Escondido-prioritized. I know some of you are business owners, and I’d venture to say that if the individual sleeping in front of your store was willing to accept a bed, you probably wouldn’t care if they were born here or not.”

and I think everyone knew that,” said Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes. “But I came to the conclusion that it is our best opportunity for this temporary facility.”

This will be the school district’s second property acquisition in the last month.

“It’s likely to be in the realm of helping either our expansions happening at our alternative school, where we have an adult school also on the same property, or CTE [Career Technical Education], which is our most likely possibility,” Campbell said.

In January, the school board authorized the $12.5 million purchase of four acres of land in North City.

In 2022, Golden Door purchased a 2,000-acre site across from its property on the other side of Deer Springs Road to be conserved as open space.

Nessy Burgers in Fallbrook is worth the drive

While doing some research on restaurants outside of my coastal bubble, which has been long overdue, Fallbrook was mentioned, so I set my sights on a worthy adventure.

I mentioned this to a co-worker who lives there, and he quickly responded, “Oh, you have to go to Nessy Burgers.” So that made it easy. A lunchtime feast was on the calendar.

Co-founded by Sandy Webster of Fallbrook, Nessy Burgers began as a hamburger trailer operating on Caltrans property on Highway 76 near Interstate 15. Nessy’s delicious burger and other hearty menu items became a regular stop for truckers who frequented the I-15 between San Diego and Riverside County.

Like with any thing good, the word got out, and people started trav eling from all over Southern California to try Nessy’s legendary hamburgers.

construction workers and the like with big-time lunch appetites to feed. That’s always a good sign. I was with my regular LTP eater and co-worker Alec, and we decided to split three items between us: the Nessy Burg-

the only lettuce that belongs on a burger, in my opinion. For the final touch, every Nessy burger comes with American cheese, sliced jalapeno peppers and pickles on the side. It was perfect to split.

I should also say that for North County coastal dwellers, it’s an easy and scenic drive out the SR-76 to Nessy. The restaurant was named Nessy Burgers as an homage to Scotland’s famous and mysterious Loch Ness Monster. Of course, the folks at Nessy put their own spin on that, as their unique blend of spices remains a secret today.

I showed up around 11:30 a.m. on a Wednesday, and the line had already formed around the building. These were serious eaters,

er, the Moon Dog and the Top Sirloin Steak Sandwich. I must say that the Nessy half-pounder is a sizable burger and definitely food coma material if eaten solo. The appeal of Nessy Burgers’ flavor goes beyond having a largish burger patty and secret spice mix. Nessy serves its burgers with a special sauce recipe, complemented by a mighty fine sesame seed bun delivered daily.

The burgers are topped with slices of ripe, juicy jumbo tomatoes, crisp sweet onions (grilled upon request) and iceberg lettuce — really,

The Moon Dog (I love that name) was up next, and I can’t say I’ve had a hot dog sliced in half on a toasted round or sesame seed bun served with lettuce, onion and Nessy sauce, but it worked.

We wrapped it up with the giant Top Sirloin Steak Sandwich served on a French roll with thickish slices of steak cooked to your desired doneness, topped with tomato, onion, mayo and A1 sauce. This sandwich was right up there with the burger on the yum scale, and even though I had just half, I had leftovers that I chopped up for some steak and eggs the following morning.

Speaking of breakfast, Nessy offers a full lineup of breakfast sandwiches, including their famous burger

with eggs, Polish sausage with eggs, and more standard ham and bacon with egg sandwiches.

Other lunch offerings include a BLT, Turkey Burger, Chicken Breast Sandwich and Grilled Cheese Sandwich, all of which are available protein-style to lighten their impact.

Being from Michigan, the land of chili dogs, I was excited to see a nice selection of them on the Nessy menu, along with a Chili Bowl, Chili Cheese Fries and Chili Nachos. Given that they are open until 7 p.m., I would probably save my foray into these heavier menu items until later in the day.

According to some regulars, the Nessy Shake, in vanilla, chocolate or strawberry, is worth saving some room for. They mix it up the old-fashioned way, and it gets rave reviews all around.

I should mention there are a couple of other joints worth checking out at this roadside stop, including Pala Mesa Market and the Ribshack. The latter was producing the sweet scent of burning wood, smoking meats low and slow. I think

both of these places will be worth coming back to on their own.

For me, the joy in a place like Nessy Burger is how it started from such humble beginnings in 1989 and has evolved into a thriving business based on value, quality and portions. That is a long run in the restaurant world and a testament to the fact that they have found a formula that works kept things simple and has con-

sistently served good stuff for over 30 years.

Finding a niche in the competitive restaurant world is tough, but Nessy has done just that. If you are a fan of classic diner food with an original twist, I’d suggest a mini road trip to Fallbrook to check them out.

The menu and more are at www.nessyburgers.com. Follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

It’s Come to This

Visitors to the Chengdu Snow Village in the Sichuan province of China were left with a “bad impression” of the tourist attraction in early February, Reuters reported.

Because of unseasonably warm weather, project coordinators had to improvise the “snowy” atmosphere, stapling cotton sheets to the rooftops and scattering white sand, cotton batting and soapy water to simulate snow throughout the property. Snow Village organizers said entry fees would be refunded, and the village has closed. [Reuters, 2/17/2025]

It’s a Mystery Investigators in Munich, Germany, are stumped by the sudden appearance of more than 1,000 small stickers on grave markers in three different cemeteries, the Associated Press reported.

The stickers feature a QR code that, when scanned, reveals the name of the person in the grave and the location within the cemetery. “The stickers were put both on decades-old gravestones and very new graves that so far only have a wooden cross,” said police spokesperson Christian Drexler. Police are investigating property damage as well, because when removed, the stickers leave discoloration. [AP, 2/19/2025]

Space Trash

Officials at Poland’s space agency POLSA are examining debris that fell onto the premises of a business in Komorniki on Feb. 19, Reuters reported, to determine whether it originated from a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

Later that day, a second “identical” container was found about 19 miles away in a forest. POLSA said it has been monitoring the flight of the Falcon 9, which launched on Feb. 1 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, and “will verify the object with SpaceX.” News outlets in Poland reported that flashes were seen in the sky on the morning of Feb. 19.

Residents of Godstone High Street in Surrey, England, may be out of their homes for months after a huge sinkhole opened up on Feb. 17, the BBC reported. Two sections of the road caved in, causing people in 30 homes to be evacuated.

“We’ll be looking to completely rebuild the road,” said Surrey County Council’s Matt Furniss. “It’s currently stable, it isn’t growing anymore.” Local business owners are concerned about how the closure will affect them. Shane Fry of DD Services said it would be “a trialling few months for us.” [BBC, 2/20/2025]

News You Can Use

The SS United States, which has been docked and deteriorating at a Philadelphia port since 1976, started its 18-day passage to Alabama on Feb. 19, NBC10-TV reported. The ocean liner, in service from 1952 to 1969, holds the record for fastest eastbound and westbound trans-Atlantic crossings, but on this final journey, it will be towed at 5 knots (or about 6 miles per hour).

In Alabama, it will be stripped of its innards — furniture, engine room equipment, cables and flooring — and then will be moved to Okaloosa County, Florida, where it will be sunk offshore and turned into a scuba-diving destination. Capt. Joseph Farrell, a ship-sinking and reef expert, said the sinking will be “a final chapter for the last all-American-made, American-flagged ocean liner.” [NBC10, 2/19/2025]

Repeat Offender

For the second time in a month, a teenager in the Bronx has been charged with trying to take a subway train for a joyride on Feb. 18, Pix11-TV reported.

Police said the 15-yearold tried to operate the No. 2 train from the Prospect Avenue station. He was arrested in late January with a group of kids who drove the R train in Brooklyn. He was charged with reckless endangerment and criminal trespassing. [Pix11, 2/19/2025]

Way the World Works

In the aftermath of the wildfires in California, at least two residents have returned to their homes only to find new and unwelcome tenants, the Los Angeles Times reported.

water coming in and telling us how to live our life,” Shaffer said during the Feb. 12 meeting.

“I am willing to go stand there on the freaking property myself and say, ‘Not my property, not now.’

If another man or woman wants to stand out there and say, ‘You don’t get to bring your trucks out here,’ I’m willing to do that. At some point, there have to be people that are willing to pick up a rifle. That’s why we get to have this.”

After some community blowback, Shaffer later sought to clarify his remarks, stating that his words were distorted and emphasizing his dedication to protecting the city.

“I hope you can see that, I really do,” Shaffer said. “(Protecting the city is) the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do. Don’t be misled by the twisting of my words for political purposes.”

Mayor Bruce Ehlers cautioned against aggressive opposition to state

ing by the pool during the day. The large bear seems to be foraging in neighbors’ trash bins and is probably behind an attack on a neighbor’s pet goat, Lorenzini said. “It’s definitely not moving,” he said.

He’s hoping to get the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to help after they relocated a 525-pound bear at the end of January.

In that case, the Altadena-area bear was lured into a trap with peanut butter and rotisserie chicken, then moved to Angeles National Forest.

The wildlife agency told Lorenzini that after his bear is removed, he’ll need to seal up the crawlspace, as it will probably try to return. “I know we’re encroaching on their territory,” Lorenzini said of the bear, “so I’m sympathetic to that. But at the same time ... I’m exposed if anyone gets hurt. This is a wild animal.”

Inept Criminals

An observant deputy was credited with foiling the attempts of Jose Francisco Herrera Munoz, 18, and Angel Gonzales Gutierrez, 19, to launch illegal drugs into the U.S. Penitentiary Pollock in Grant Parish, Louisiana, Denver7-TV reported on Feb. 18.

Both men are from Greeley, Colorado. Munoz and Gutierrez had planned to use a compressed air cannon, which has a range of 350 feet, to send $112,000 worth of tobacco and $89,500 worth of methamphetamine over the prison wall, but the deputy acted before they could make the delivery.

“That much meth would have just been devastating in that population,” said Sheriff Steven McCain. They were charged with attempting to introduce contraband into a penal institution and attempting to distribute meth. [Denver7, 2/18/2025]

Is it time to hang out your shingle?

ask

mr. marketing rob weinberg

Lately I’ve noticed increasing numbers of folks telling me they’re starting their own business. Some have sworn to never get laid off again; others are disgusted with blatant ageism.

The interest seemingly cuts across industries and disciplines, but everyone shares one trait: a desire to control their own future.

You, too, may be thinking about starting your own business. Before you pull the trigger, it’s really important to understand the value of having a comprehensive business plan in hand.

Few people will tell you this: Approximately 70% of companies surviving for five years follow a strategic business and marketing plan.

Now consider that 71% of fast-growing firms have such plans.

Hmm… business plans leading to higher survival and growth rates. Coincidence? I think not!

Inside tip: 99.9% of U.S. businesses have under 100 employees. Meaning managing (and surviving) both lean times and overwhelming success comes down to having built that plan early on, so you’ll know what you’re doing.

There are definite benefits to having (and using) a well-organized business plan:

CLEAR DIRECTION: Clarify the business’s goals and objectives, providing a roadmap, setting a clear strategy and guiding your

housing policies, warning that rejecting projects outright could lead to losing local control and legal consequences under state law.

“Even if you can act in a day, in two days, five days, it will not take long to get one or more Builder’s Remedy applications in place; that is the trigger point,” Ehlers said. “It may feel good to sit up here and say, ‘Hell no,’ but you’re ultimately costing Encinitas a hell of a lot more and causing irreversible harm.”

Community members also weighed in on Shaffer’s

decision-making.

GREATER FOCUS: Owners and employees have better understanding of priorities and goals, improving daily operations.

BETTER DECISION-MAKING: A business plan incorporates research, financial projections and market analysis, providing data for making informed decisions about every aspect of the company.

ATTRACTING INVESTORS AND LENDERS: A plan is critical to getting funding, showing folks with money that the business has a solid strategy, market understanding and a realistic financial outlook.

RISK MANAGEMENT: Doing a SWOC analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, challenges) sets you up with strategies to mitigate problems. This reduces unpleasant surprises later.

MONITORING PERFORMANCE: Set measurable goals and performance targets, making it easier to track progress over time. This simplifies adjustments when things go sideways (as they invariably will!).

EXPANSION PLANNING: You’re building a blueprint for how to expand, enter new markets or diversify offerings, ensuring necessary resources are there to support growth.

BETTER COMMUNICATIONS: This strategic tool helps align stakeholders, employees and partners around common visions, strategies and goals.

Bottom line: Business plans help startups (in particular) stay focused, providing a foundation for long-term success, guiding important decisions and anticipating challenges. I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

During public comments at this week’s meeting, several residents criticized his remarks, including resident Brian Stone, who called them “reprehensible,” and Marlon Taylor, a veteran and school board member, who described them as “particularly troubling.” Both Stone and Taylor also criticized Ehlers for a separate remark in which the mayor apparently lik-

“Land use matters have always been the most important in our community, and it made somebody speak about picking up rifles to keep development from happening, which was a shame,” Kranz said. “It was a shame to hear you say that you declared the state an enemy when just months ago, you took an oath to support the state constitution.”

Shaffer maintained that his focus remains on the well-being of Encinitas residents.

“At the end of the day, I’m a father, and I’m a husband. I was born and raised in this community… I love this town deeply and will continue to stand up for all that live in it,” he said.

Raising the bar: Formula for success at The Rhoades School

The Rhoades School inspires curious minds to think deeply and live courageously. Since 1980, we have been known in San Diego County for our excellence in preschool through eighth grade education.

By combining rigorous academics with high-impact instruction we can meet the unique needs and passions of gifted students.

CURRICULAR INNOVATION

At The Rhoades School, we believe academic rigor not only creates a foundational knowledge base for our students, but develops in them lifelong love of learning. However, we don’t just challenge students to challenge them.

Each year, we collect and analyze data to adapt our curriculum to meet the needs of students and society today, incorporating intentional technology and digital content with dedicated spaces in both our Lower and Middle schools.

Even our preschool follows a research-based curriculum called Links to Learning, balancing academics and play to foster curiosity and confidence while promoting important social skills and character development.

At every stage, our ac-

ademic standards ensure that our students receive an advanced and tested curriculum that sparks excitement in learning.

Our campuses are also purposefully designed to combine learning with application: from STEM spaces where students can work with 3D printers, circuitry, robotics, and coding to a full music and recording studio, we provide opportunities for students to delve into projects and build upon their own passions.

What’s more, as an Apple Distinguished School, we use technology to support both individual and group learning. Second graders create ebooks using Book Creator, fourth graders design their own food truck businesses with iPads, and fifth graders use Adobe Draw to create self-portraits.

In our Middle School, students use iMovie to bring historical events to life and build models of historical inventions to demonstrate how technology changes lives.

INSPIRATIONAL INSTRUCTION

Our emphasis on academics is successful because of our staff of excellent teachers, who use research-based instruc-

tional practices to tailor each lesson to drive student learning.

We do not just teach our students information: we teach them how to learn. This means teaching them how to take notes in a history class versus a science class, how to ask thoughtful questions, and how to apply their knowledge in real-time.

For example, we use project-based learning to deliver high-level content across subject areas and inspire connections between topics. This helps students connect classroom learning to the real world while allowing our teachers to measure their ability to understand the subject at hand.

At The Rhoades School, each new year centers on a Service Learning theme, such as environmental sustainability or food insecurity. Our students will participate in long-term projects that challenge them to solve these real-world issues.

Ultimately, by focusing on learning as a process, we ensure our students understand that learning does not end with the school year. You can learn more about The Rhoades School at our Virtual Info Session on March 1, or visit: RhoadesSchool.com

forming, however, constrained resources require NCTD to limit duplicative services where possible,” a staff report states.

NCTD board member and Vista City Councilmember Corinna Contreras expressed concern about cutting the route

“Is it fair to say that the elimination of the 334 is going to help sustain NCTD+? Is that the actual goal? Because I can get behind that, but if you’re telling me we’re eliminating this just to have a 12-month pilot and there’s gonna be a gap in the service, I can’t be behind that,” Contreras said.

Donaghy said the district is committed to funding the NCTD+ Vista program beyond the initial 12-month term and noted that the term “pilot” is mostly used for reporting purposes.

He added that the agency applied for funding through SANDAG’s Access for All program for

MOONLIGHT BEACH HALF MARATHON

Run

hard, party harder

ENCINITAS — If you love running with a side of epic ocean views and a splash of St. Patrick’s Day madness, the Moonlight Beach Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K on March 16, 2025, is your kind of race.

Whether you’re a speed demon chasing a PR or just here for the good vibes and post-race fun, this is the event you don’t want to miss.

A COURSE WORTH RUNNING

Forget boring routes— this fast and scenic coastal course takes you through some of the best views Encinitas has to offer.

Whether you’re crushing the half marathon, blazing through the 10K, or cruising the 5K, every step brings ocean breezes, sunshine, and pure California running magic.

No surprise this is the fastest-growing half marathon in the region.

RUN FAST, DRESS WILD

It wouldn’t be an Excelarace event without a little flair. The St. Patrick’s Day Costume Contest is back, and if you’re not rocking some green, you’re do-

ing it wrong. Get creative, get weird, and maybe even take home a cash prize for your efforts. Running 13.1 miles in a leprechaun suit? Respect.

MORE THAN JUST A RACE

This isn’t just about the run—it’s about the people. The Moonlight Beach Half Marathon has become a local favorite, bringing together athletes, weekend warriors, and first-timers for one big celebration of fitness and community.

Even Coast News, a proud sponsor, backs the hype: “This event brings our community together in a healthy way, and we love to support Excelarace events for that reason. This year promises to be a lot of fun.”

DON’T JUST RUN— MAKE A DAY OF IT

Cross that finish line, grab your medal, and head straight into Downtown Encinitas for some wellearned post-race indulgence. Whether it’s coffee, craft beer, or tacos (or all three—no judgment), the post-run scene is just as good as the race itself.

SECURE YOUR SPOT NOW

Here’s the deal—this race sells out fast. Don’t be the person watching it unfold from the sidelines. Sign up now and lock in your spot for one of the best race experiences of the year.

RACE DETAILS:

• Date: March 16, 2025

• Location: Moonlight Beach, Encinitas, CA

• Distances: Half Marathon, 10K, 5K

• Theme: St. Patrick’s Day Costume Contest

• Registration: Open now at https://moonlightbeachhalfmarathon.org

microtransit in Vista and Fallbrook, but was unsuccessful. NCTD plans to apply for funding through the SANDAG Flexible Fleets program later this year.

“I was extremely disappointed, but I was not surprised,” Donaghy said of not receiving the Access for All funds. “I find that SAN DAG has continued to fund things that are on their agenda that I think are far less effective than NCTD+.”

The district also plans to cut the Breeze 444 route servicing the Carlsbad Poin settia Coaster station due to poor performance, with about 20 average weekday boardings in 2024.

The board will hold public hearings regarding eliminating these routes in March.
