OCEANSIDE — Passenger rail service between the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo and Oceanside stations remained suspended this week due to a landslide that again sent boulders and debris onto the tracks and damaged the Mariposa Trail Bridge in San Clemente. Despite ongoing repair efforts by Metrolink and Orange County Transportation Authority, there is no clear timeline when passenger

ENCINITAS COMMUNITY CENTER

CARLSBAD — A local developer, whose proposal for a mixed-use project in Carlsbad Village was rejected by the Carlsbad City Council nearly six years ago, has now submitted a revised set of RANCHO plans for review by the city’s Planning SFNEWS Commission. The city’s planning department is reviewing an application for a four-story, 45-foot-tall development — the maximum allowed in the Village — with nearly 3,000 square feet of firstfloor retail space and five residential units above, known as Carlsbad Village Square. The latest proposal by developer Leor Lakritz is the second iteration of the failed Carlsbad Village Center project, which the City Council denied in a 2-1 vote in 2018. At the time, the project faced heavy pushback from community members concerned that it did not fit the character of the Village. While the new project has much of the same bulk as before, architect Kirk Moeller said there are several changes. The proposal no longer features an underground parking garage but relies on nine lift parking spaces. The site is pulled back slightly from the property line and features a more modern design than the previous craftsman style. “I think our newer building is less imposing than the original,” said Moeller, who also resides in Carlsbad. Despite its differences from the original project, Carlsbad Village Square is already drawing similar concerns. Last Thursday, dozens of residents expressed their disdain for the design at an informational meeting at the

rail service will resume. As of Jan. 31, Orange County and Inland Empire-Orange County Metrolink line trains were only operating as far south San Juan Capistrano, with no alternate transportation to or from either San Clemente or Oceanside. Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner service between Los Angeles and San Diego was also disrupted, with some trains canceled and others using bus bridges around the landslide area.

SDUHSD commits to new aquatics facility

School board still optimistic despite ballooning costs By Laura Place

ENCINITAS — San Dieguito Union High School District leaders said they are committed to moving forward with a long-awaited aquatics facility at Torrey Pines High School even as they face a major jump in project costs. The planned aquatic facility, the final phase of a three-stage athletic facilities project, would provide the first on-campus pool in a district with over 800 aquatics athletes who participate in sports like swimming, diving and water polo. San Dieguito families and coaches have been pleading with the district to provide pools for years to offset the burden on athletes who rely entirely on pools in surrounding areas, which often require practicing early in the morning or late at night. “A pool is best for our children. Practices would happen at school at reasonable times and allow our kids more time for studying and sleep, both essential for student-athletes,” parent Misty Green told the school board on Tuesday. After over a decade of discussions and delays, plans for the aquatic facility are currently awaiting approval from the Division of the State Architect, a process anticipated to take several more months. Once approved, the project can go out to bid. However, San Dieguito leaders informed the district board at its Tuesday meeting that project costs have grown significantly since the last review in early 2022, and the $14 million set aside for the project is no longer sufficient. Superintendent Anne Staffieri said the district needs to figure out how to fill a $6.9 million funding gap before they can move forward. “We need a stronger financial plan if we’re going to go out to bid,” Staffieri said. According to Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Pearl Iikuza, an updated review of the project in December found that construction and equipment costs have grown from $10 million in 2022 to $17.8 million. Additional soft costs such as programming, permitting and contingency bring the total price tag to just under $21 million. This increase is partly due to higher costs in the construction industry, staff said. The district also identified the need for additional mitigation costs due to unexpectedly poor soil conditions and opted for an overall larger building and pool deck to accommodate programming needs. Leaders are currently considering multiple op-

A facility would provide the first on-campus pool in a school district with more than 800 aquatics athletes. projects. However, the district will have to wait until these funds are audited in May to know for certain how much can be used. “It’s not freely available at this point to shore up the shortfall,” Iikuza said. “We clearly need to think about ways to supplement funding sources.” In response to this, the district board granted approval for the superintendent to explore fundraising options such as the creation of an aquatics booster nonprofit, partnerships with local groups like the YMCA, or entering rental agreements for the facility. In order to prevent any further delay in putting the project out to bid, Staffieri also recommended immediately engaging in conversations with the facilities subcommittee and community members to discuss a path forward, including possible ways to cut project costs. Over a dozen parents and student-athletes spoke at the board meeting in support of moving forward with the pool. Several individuals, including members of the longstanding San Dieguito Pool Feasibility Committee, said they are ready to help the district push the project over the finish line. “You have an army behind you,” said parent and

the project is expected to take around 14 months, according to the district. Board members all expressed their commitment to moving the process forward in order to make the aquatics facility a reality. Trustee Katrina Young said while she has some reservations about the financial status of the project, she is optimistic. “While there’s one way of looking at the numbers tonight, that we don’t have enough money to build a pool today, but the flipside is that we’re close,” Young said. Despite optimism about the long-awaited project, disagreements arose midway through the discussion when Trustee Michael Allman emailed his fellow board members a resolution that was not in-

cluded in the meeting agenda, which he asked them to approve. Allman’s self-authored resolution declared full support for the pool and suggested that the district designate funds from other unstarted Measure AA projects to close the funding gap. Trustees Young, Rimga Viskanta, and Jane Lea Smith declined to support it and said they were frustrated that Allman would send a surprise resolution without allowing district staff, the superintendent, or the public to review it first. “I don’t appreciate surprises mid-meeting when I’m trying to pay attention at a meeting... This feels like a political stunt, which is unfortunate because we are all working so well together,” Viskanta said. Trustee Phan Anderson seconded Allman’s resolution and said she questioned whether the other trustees were really in full support of the pool project. Ultimately, the board approved an altered resolution in a 4-1 vote, with Anderson opposed, stating that the board intends to build the pool and directing the superintendent to collaborate with staff and the community to gather details about how to fund and move forward with the project.

larger Torrey Pines sports facilities project, the district renovated the school’s athletic fields and tennis courts and repaired amenities at the school’s softball fields in response to Title IX complaints. The second phase proposed modernizing the school’s locker room and constructing a new building with new team rooms. However, the price of that phase also grew significantly from $6.4 million to just under $11 million due to inflation in construction and labor costs. As a result, the district board agreed in December to eliminate plans for the team rooms for the time being and just move forward with the modernization.

while the aquatics community in the area is very strong, not having a central facility to use takes a toll on athletes. “To not have that kind of really strong representation here without a pool, without a main center that we can gather around to have these events... to have these 5 a.m. practices, to have these inconvenient times, to have all these away games and taking away from such a highly academic district, and to take away from that and impact our mental health, is truly tragic,” Chen said. “It’s really necessary to have a pool to be able to support our athletes like that from a much closer distance.” In the first phase of the

Mayor passes the buck

By Denise Martin

ast week’s videos and images of residents and business owners waist-deep in standing water, dealing with mud, and cleaning up debris that shocked many were nothing new for the area. These decades-old threats to public health, safety, and property that finally have the city’s attention have somehow escaped Mayor Tony Kranz’s attention. Real leadership would have prioritized safeguarding homes, businesses, and personal possessions over vanity projects. Instead, we get apathy, passivity, and pass-the-buck indifference. Before he was elected to the city council in 2012, Mayor Tony Kranz was in the audience and among those begging the city council for solutions to the extreme flooding dangers. However, once elected, he took a back seat to the issue and sat on his hands. Here’s just a smattering of Mayor Kranz’s non-responses to the dire situation: • “The cost to do something that would handle the bigger storms is just not a good use of money.” (2024, ABC 10)

• Calling the situation “heartbreaking,” Mayor Kranz directs affected residents to fill out a form with the county. (2024, SD Tribune) • “Sandbags are available at the public works yard at Calle Magdalena.” (2024, The Coast News) • Kranz said that he hasn’t gotten a clear answer from the city as to what hydrology studies have been conducted. (2022, The Coast News) • “We recognize that addressing the flooding is very important, but it’s a question of how to pay for it; it’s going to be many millions of dollars and that’s tough.” (2022, The Coast News) • “It’s been frustrating for me because there have been things on the drawing board that have just disappeared and I’ve been told that they keep getting set aside for one bureaucratic reason or another,” Kranz said. (2022, The Coast News) • “There’s still a heck of a lot of flooding that goes on,” asks the 2012 Council for answers and transparency regarding flooding (2012, Kranz address to Council) In addition to com-

plaining about the flooding as a resident, Mayor Kranz has had more than 10 years on the council to champion solutions, during which time he seems to have been content to blame the county, allow city staff not to provide clear answers, and make it a budget afterthought. One lawsuit was already filed in late 2023 after December 2022’s storm and associated damage. After this past week’s damage, additional lawsuits are likely to be filed. The taxpayers will shoulder these legal costs for what appears to be longterm neglect from Mayor Kranz while he continues to tell us that fixing the problem “is just not a good use of our money.” Mayor Tony Kranz appears to be grudgingly waking up to this extreme situation just in time to ask for your vote in November. Think carefully before giving it to him. Given his track record, we can only assume he will continue to do what he’s done in the past. Denise Martin is a resident of Encinitas.

Beware of phony utility workers

By Scott Chadwick

he San Diego County Water Authority has received reports of people posing as water agency workers to gain access to homes. Door-todoor scams like this pop up from time to time across service sectors so it’s important to stay vigilant. We have not had reports of this specific activity in Carlsbad, however it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution if a stranger approaches your home. Be wary of anyone who claims to be a utility worker or repair person and tries to gain access to your home, asks for payment information, tries to sell you a product or asks for a donation. In general, if a stranger rings your doorbell, the first

thing to remember is that you do not have to open the door. The safest course is to politely tell the person you are not available. If you do answer the door, our Police Department has the following advice: Verify identity: Ask for identification or a badge to confirm that the person is a legitimate representative of the organization they claim to be with. Contact the organization: Contact the organization directly using their official contact information. Do not use contact details provided by the person at your door. Be wary of high-pressure tactics: Scammers often use high-pressure tactics to get you to act. If you feel rushed or uncomfortable, it’s

a red flag. Trust your instincts: If something feels off or if you have doubts, it’s okay to close your door. Scammers often rely on exploiting people’s emotions, so trust your instincts. Remember that legitimate businesses, charities and other organizations respect your right to make an informed decision. If you have concerns or doubts, it’s always better to be cautious. The Carlsbad Police Department’s website has more information about how to prevent crime around your home. Call the 24/7 police non-emergency line at 442339-2197 anytime you have a concern. Scott Chadwick is the city manager of Carlsbad.

or many years, California drivers and Republican politicians have blamed Democrats and high gas taxes for the huge difference in the price of gasoline here compared to other states. It turns out they’ve been wrong, some of them just plain self-serving. We know this with certainty now for the first time because of a yearold state law with the odd designation of SBX1-2, passed in an emergency legislative session after extreme gasoline price increases during last February. In that month, pump prices leaped more than $2 per gallon over just two days, oil refiners explaining that they had some “unexpected” shutdowns. Gov. Gavin Newsom called this a “fleecing” of California drivers, and oil company profits in this state jumped to levels 70% above what they were elsewhere. They’ve dropped a little since then. So we got a new law forcing refiners in the state to report their per-gallon profit margins to a new division of the state Energy Commission, which must publish them and then decide whether they constitute price gouging. If the commission makes that ruling, it can then impose price limits. The first reports came in late last year and received virtually no media coverage. It turned out big California refiners like Valero, Chevron, Conoco-Phillips, Marathon and PBF raked in an average of $1.49 per gallon in gross refining profits during the fairly typical month of September, almost three times their 66-cent margins in January 2023. That’s after the costs of crude oil, taxes, environmental fees and transportation are subtracted. Of course, the 66cent January 2023 margins were already unusually high, about one-third more than the previously normal margins of about 50 cents the refiners historically reaped here. Said Jamie Court, president of the Consumer Watchdog advocacy group, “This data proves California oil refiners profited wildly from California gas price spikes… It is precisely why California needs to implement a strong price gouging penalty as soon as possible.” He’s right. The figures prove that while government causes some gas price inflation here, refin-

california focus

tom elias

ers actually cause most of the price differential of more than a dollar a gallon between California and other states. Essentially, they are treating California like a gigantic ATM with unlimited reserves. This all demonstrates that even though prices are down somewhat since last February, they remain much higher than previously, with refiners not being the least bit bashful about upping their profits whenever they please. September brought such a moment, as they raised margins from $1.29 per gallon in August. This was a 13% increase in a single month, when no extraordinary events occurred. Court suggests the Energy Commission, which now ought to exercise for the first time its option of setting a “reasonable maximum” profit, should limit margins to 60 cents per gallon, just below the levels of January 2023. That would amount to a 10% penalty to the refiners for their gouging of the last year. For consumers, this could mean a quick price drop of almost a dollar a gallon, a welcome relief in the state with America’s second highest average cost of living. But so far, the Energy Commission has not acted on its mandate, saying it is still determining whether any of this constituted price gouging. That decision is due by June at the latest. But the September numbers leave no doubt of what the finding will need to be: It’s eminently clear the refiners have gouged and are deserving of the penalty SBX1-2 calls for. Yes, there would be bleating from oil companies about how the state is wrecking its business environment — an environment they have exploited to the tune of billions of dollars over the last year. If they don’t pay a price for their unfair business practices now, it’s hard to see when one would ever be justified or imposed on any price-gouging business or industry.

New Marine Safety Center design shrinks again Officials say design now at ‘minimal point’ By Laura Place

SOLANA BEACH — City leaders reviewed yet another design for the new Marine Safety Center at Fletcher Cove Park last week, with officials stating that ocean views have been preserved as much as possible while also providing the necessary space and view corridor for lifeguards. San Diego-based Domusstudio Architecture's most recent presentation to the Solana Beach City Council marked the firm's third iteration of the project in the past year. The studio has tweaked and slimmed down the design repeatedly in response to residents’ concerns about obstructing views, with the last review taking place in November. On Jan. 24, domusstudio presented plans for a building with a smaller roof and moved further south to tuck into the bluff slope beneath Las Brisas Condominiums. The observation tower was also moved closer to the bluff. While the city asked for the tower height not to exceed that of the current safety center, principal architect Jon Dominy said doing so would limit lifeguards’ views of the bluff toe and

the beach from the north to the south. Raising the tower by another couple of feet above the current ridgeline expanded the sight line just enough to safely monitor the beach. “We’re really at the minimal point, we felt, on what’s functional for them for observation,” Dominy said. Drastically shrinking the butterfly-style roof also removed much of the planned shade for the tower, which is less optimal for lifeguards, Dominy said. Therefore, shading will have to be employed in other ways. Marine safety personnel are in desperate need of

a new facility to replace the current 1940s-era structure, which they say is inadequate for current operations and equipment. Residents who spoke during public comment said they appreciated the changes that had been made. However, some said they were still unsatisfied with how it blocked views and claimed that the observation tower could be made shorter. “I pay a lot of money, I'm a retiree, and I do not wish any obstruction to my view. You need to please come up with something that will be agreeable to everybody. We need to meet the needs of

the community and also the homeowners,” said Las Brisas resident Maureen Finkelstein. Another resident suggested that the lifeguards lower the tower and rely on cameras to monitor the beach, as well as “drone-delivered flotation devices.” Council members said it is not possible to make everyone happy while also meeting the needs of lifeguards. Councilmember Dave Zito noted that the use of the city’s beaches has grown monumentally since the original center was built in the 1940s and will continue to grow, especially with the ongoing sand expansion

project. “One could say that going forward, our needs are probably going to increase rather than decrease, and we’re probably going to have to have more staff at some point if this continues to go on this path... We want to be able to meet the operational needs of the lifeguard for at least the next 50 years,” Zito said. Up to 17 marine safety staff use the center during the weekends, with slightly fewer on weekdays, according to Marine Safety Captain Jason Shook. Going forward, the council gave direction for the city to implement story poles reflecting the height of the new design before they officially sign off on it. Council members also agreed to extend a professional services agreement with Domusstudio through the end of 2025 for an ad-

ditional $500,000 to cover the creation of a final design package. Once approved by the council, the design will need to go before the California Coastal Commission. Construction funding for the project has not been identified, city officials said. Leaders concurred that since the project is coming from the city itself, the council does not need to approve it first by the city View Assessment Commission. At the same meeting, the City Council also bid farewell to City Manager Greg Wade and thanked him for his nearly nine years of service. Wade is departing to lead the Clean Energy Alliance, a community choice energy joint powers authority of which Solana Beach was one of three founding cities. Assistant City Manager Dan King was appointed as the interim city manager.

New Year, New You is Possible at The Smart Fit Method Everyone talks and dreams about getting fit and healthy, and even though the new year is the perfect start line, very few people have actually done it. Why not? Because until now, they didn’t have access to the tools they needed to succeed. The two tools you need to succeed are a personal trainer and the right equipment. The best way to ensure success in a fitness goal is to hire a personal trainer. Good personal trainers provide accountability, motivation, and injury prevention. They use their wealth of knowledge to help you reach your goals. The downside is cost. At an average of $75 per session three times a week, you’re spending a minimum of $900 a month on fitness, which is an unsustainable amount of money. At that price, you’ll be back on the couch in no time, back to excess body fat, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, or even worse. Not only that, most gyms use outdated equipment.

The Cake House opens as the first cannabis shop in Encinitas

By Samantha Nelson

ENCINITAS — The city’s first of four cannabis shops is set to open by the end of the week. The Cake House, a Southern California recreational cannabis chain, will be the first marijuana dispensary to open in the city since residents approved Measure H in 2020. While recreational cannabis is legal statewide, individual cities and counties can choose whether or not they allow businesses to sell it. Measure H, a voter-backed initiative allowing for the regulated sale and cultivation of cannabis in Encinitas, required the city to regulate cannabis retail sales. In 2022, the city chose four cannabis enterprises through a lottery process out of 200 applicants: The Cake House at 583 South Coast Highway, ECR Encinitas4 LLC at 211 North El Camino Real, STIIIZY at 1030 North Coast Highway and Siesta Life Encinitas LLC at 1038 South Coast Highway. In a presentation to the Encinitas City Council on Jan. 24, city staff provided

status updates on each of the four dispensaries, noting that The Cake House had obtained its state license and was nearing completion. ECR Encinitas4 LLC is not far behind, having already obtained its state license as well and is currently under construction. Siesta Life Encinitas LLC has also obtained its state license and is currently undergoing building checks with the city. STIIIZY has completed its building plan and is expecting to begin construction soon but it is still waiting on its state license. According to The Cake House employees, the plan is to commence its soft opening by Friday, if not sooner. The shop’s staff is currently busy setting up the store, which will feature an open-floor concept similar to its sister store in Vista. “We’re going to be the first ones to introduce cannabis as a face to the community, so it’s going to be a great running storefront,” said General Manager Erica Arroyo.

Ryan Anderson, director of marketing for The Cake House, likened the shop’s layout to a grocery store, where customers are free to peruse the aisles filled with a variety of cannabis products. Upon walking into the pot shop, patients will have their IDs checked at the front desk, with on-site security providing assistance during store hours. Once given the green light, the customer then heads into an adjacent room where all products are kept on the main dispensary floor. Anderson said The

Cake House stocks up on just about any kind of product, from cannabis flowers and topical creams to concentrates, tinctures, drinks, edibles and more. All of the products are tracked and traced through the Department of Cannabis Control. “We have an extensive menu to hit every category,” Arroyo said. “We have a more holistic vibe, a more wellness vibe — we have that to draw everyone in, plus some great introductory items like CBD.” According to Anderson, The Cake House only stocks the freshest product

available. “We only intake products up to a certain level,” he said. “In fact, we recently just rejected an order that had an Aug. 23 date on it – if it’s older than 90 days, we will not put it on the floor.” Anderson, Arroyo and the rest of the team are excited to be the first dispensary to open in Encinitas. “We were very adamant about opening first and hitting the ground running,” Arroyo said. “We’re ready to go as soon as we get everything stocked up.” The dispensary currently has about 15 employ-

ees and expects to hire up to 24 workers. Hours of operation will be from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. While many are excited about the new pot shops, other residents are still weary and concerned that the shops will harm the community, particularly its youth. Anderson assured that minors would not have access to the store. “We have a zero-tolerance policy,” he said. “Even if a parent comes in with their 15-year-old and asks for them to wait in the lobby while they shop, we will not allow it.” Security will be on-site during operation hours, and the store will be monitored 24/7, he noted. Some residents were also stressed that strict code compliance needs to be enforced on the pot shops. Anderson said The Cake House follows all regulations and strives to be on top of any changes in the law. In other cannabis-related news, the City Council approved an extension to its contract with HdL Companies for an additional $79,500 for ongoing cannabis consulting until June 30, 2025. The council also voted to allow for a non-storefront, delivery-only dispensary in addition to the four brick-and-mortar shops under Senate Bill 1186, which went into effect on Jan. 1. The Cake House intends to eventually expand its services to include delivery.

Levin nets $53M to replace San Dieguito Bridge Federal funds target LOSSAN corridor repairs By Laura Place

OCEANSIDE — Over $53 million in federal funds netted by Rep. Mike Levin will go to the North County Transit District for the replacement of the 107-yearold San Dieguito Bridge in Del Mar, ushering in much-needed repairs to the North County segment of the LOSSAN rail corridor. Congressman Levin (D-Dana Point) announced the funding alongside State Sen. Catherine Blakespear (D-Encinitas) and local North County leaders during a press conference at the Oceanside Transit Center on Thursday. The day prior, another landslide in San Clemente

closed rail service between San Diego and Orange counties, exhibiting the vulnerability of key sections of the 350-mile corridor. “When you think about the hundreds, the thou-

sands, of commuters who were disrupted from this one slide, you realize how important it is that we invest in the resiliency of this corridor and that we commit ourselves to making

train travel equivalent to car travel,” Blakespear said. The stretch of rail through Del Mar is considered another major weak link along the corridor. The new cement San Dieguito bridge will replace the antiquated wooden trestle bridge that carries trains over the lagoon, elevating it above the floodplain and double-tracking it to allow for more frequent travel. “This replacement bridge is going to expand from a single track to add one mile of double tracks; it’s going to raise the height of the tracks by eight feet to account for increased sea level changes; and it's going to prevent service disruptions and increase trips,” Levin said. The federal funding will also cover the creation of a special events platform at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, which officials hope will

alleviate traffic congestion from people attending the fair, horse races and other events. Despite the hefty price tag for the bridge replacement, maintaining the current infrastructure already requires a significant investment from NCTD, according to agency board chair Jewel Edson. “NCTD spends more to maintain this bridge than on any other bridge that's located within our region’s portion of the coastal rail corridor,” Edson said. The completion of the new bridge is essential to being able to start other high-priority rail projects, namely the relocation of the rail tracks off of the failing Del Mar bluffs. The new corridor, likely to run through tunnels under the city, will ultimately connect to the new double-tracked bridge.

The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), the agency overseeing the rail relocation, aims to have the tracks off the bluffs by 2035. The needed funding for the project will likely be in the billions and remains to be identified. “That project is critical to moving the tracks off of the Del Mar bluffs. In order to go into a tunnel, this project has to be done first. We have to have double tracking; it has to be out of the lagoon and has to be raised up eight feet,” Blakespear said. Levin also announced that the rail corridor has been added to the federal Corridor Identification and Development (ID) program, which facilitates the identification of projects for strategically important rail corridors across the country.

Oceanside settles on new inclusionary rate By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — The City Council finalized changes on Jan. 24 to the city’s inclusionary housing policy, requiring developers to include at least 15% affordable housing in citywide residential projects. The council voted 3-1 to approve the new rate and several other code changes. Councilmember Peter Weiss was absent from the meeting. Deputy Mayor Ryan Keim was the lone vote against the move, standing firm in his opinion that more affordable housing — up to 20% — would be better suited in the city’s Smart and Sustainable Corridors Plan areas along Mission Avenue, Oceanside Boulevard and Vista Way. “We need to encourage density in the right spots,” Keim said. The City Council has debated whether to keep a 10% inclusionary housing rate (except for 20% in specific smart and sustainable corridors) or to increase the requirement to 15% citywide. The idea to change affordable housing minimums stemmed from a workshop last summer where dozens of community members asked for more affordable housing. After vacillating between several variations, the council arrived at 15%

citywide, regardless of the type of housing project. The council also raised the inclusionary threshold from three units to 10 or more. Multifamily residential projects must offer a balanced mix of units based on the number of bedrooms, similar to market-rate units. These units should have equal access to amenities and be evenly spread throughout the project. The change also allows accessory dwelling units to be reserved as affordable to meet the inclusionary housing rate requirement. Despite some criticism, most of the audience applauded the council’s decision to increase the rate. Sunny Soto, an Oceanside resident and organizer behind the Sunny Street Outreach Movement mutual aid group, said the change is a “no-brainer.” Soto said the city’s current inclusionary housing rate of 10% was approved in 1993 and hasn’t changed since. “That’s 30 years ago now,” Soto said. “An increase of 5% is the very least we can do.” Developers can opt out of including 15% affordable housing by paying the city an in-lieu fee of $20 per square foot. The city can then use this money to construct affordable housing projects such as Greenbrier Village or Mission Cove.

ESCONDIDO — Centre City Parkway will soon have posted speed limits for the first time in the thoroughfare’s history. The Escondido City Council voted to establish speed limits throughout the corridor on Jan. 24, following recommendations from both city staff and the city’s Transportation and Community Safety Commission, which met earlier in January to approve the new speed limits. The corridor was one part of US Highway 395 until the city took over ownership in 1978. Since then, the city has never posted new speed limits and has stuck with its 65-mile-per-hour prima facie speed limit as per state law until now. New speeds will vary along the 6.5-mile stretch of road that extends from the city’s northern and southern boundaries based on a breakdown of different road segments. The northern city limits to El Norte Parkway will be 55 miles per hour, El Norte to Mission Avenue will be 50 miles per hour, Mission to Towne Centre Driveway will be 45 miles per hour, and Towne Centre to the city’s southern limits will be 50 miles per hour. According to City Traffic Engineer Edd Alberto, the new speed limits were determined based on the activity surrounding the road segments plus state-required traffic and engineering studies that calculated the average prevailing speeds in each segment. The uses along the corridor vary; for example, the northern portion above El Norte has long stretches between signalized intersections with little development along the roadway,

which allows for the highest of the new speed limits. In comparison, the stretch from Mission to Towne Centre has more closely spaced intersections and is surrounded by downtown uses and activity. “Through our monitoring, we felt like it was time to post the speed limits,” Alberto told The Coast News. According to the staff report, speed plays a critical role in the cause and severity of motor crashes. As speed increases, the risk of fatality in a crash also increases. The report also cites the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s

In-Depth. Independent. THE COAST NEWS

thecoastnews.com

“Literature Review on Vehicle Travel Speeds and Pedestrian Injuries,” a 1999 study noting that fatal and serious injury rates “increase substantially” when speeds rise. Signage for the new speed limits will cost the city approximately $2,000. The new limits will go into effect once all signage is posted. Alberto said the city hopes to post the new signs

by the end of February. The city will also begin posting temporary signs near the freeway exits and other entry points onto Centre City Parkway in the weeks before the new signage, warning residents that the speeds have changed. Police will issue warnings to drivers during the first two weeks of the new speed limit signs being posted.

Del Mar offers limited TK School district expects 25 kids eligible next fall By Laura Place

DEL MAR — Under a limited program the district board approved earlier this month, a small number of students will have access to transitional kindergarten, or TK, in the Del Mar Union School District next fall. The district’s transitional kindergarten early intervention program, as it is called, will be open to foster, homeless and income-eligible students who turn four years old by Sept. 1. District leaders anticipate that around 25 students will be eligible for the program, although the number could change. The state requires all elementary school districts to offer transitional kindergarten, or TK, as a precursor to regular kindergarten for all four-year-olds by 2025-26. However, Del Mar is one of a handful of districts in California that claim to be exempt from this requirement as basic aid districts, meaning their income from property taxes exceeds state funding for average daily attendance. At the board’s Jan. 17 meeting, district leaders said while they do not receive additional funding from the state to implement full TK, they are able to offer a limited program with excess dollars that were freed up due to declining enrollment. “We don't have the funding sources to add another grade level for all students at this time, and so having a transitional kindergarten early intervention program for a group of students is something we can do,” said Assistant Superintendent of Instructional Services Alison Feiberg. Unlike schools funded under the Local Control Funding Formula, which lose funding when enrollment declines, basic aid districts receive the same amount of funding from property taxes even with the drop in students. District leaders say that a decrease this past year freed up around $1.1 million in excess dollars. Along with putting some money toward unfunded facilities

projects, staff proposed allocating $548,000 to fund two classes of the limited TK program, which could hold up to 40 students. However, all eligible students who enroll will be accepted, they said. The district board approved the program in a 3-2 vote, with trustees Katherine Fitzpatrick and Doug Rafner opposed. Rafner said he supported the program but questioned what would happen if the available seats were not filled. If there are extra seats, he said he would like staff to come back for further discussion about how to fill them with other students. “If we can't meet what we’re approving, why not open it up to others?” he asked. In a heated discussion, trustees Gee Wah Mok and Erica Halpern said they did not want to get into the possibility of expanding TK when they didn’t have enough money to fund it. “I don’t want to open the door to a general TK program. I'm concerned that if you start to open up any spots to non-qualified students, we will just create a problem,” Halpern said. Mok said that with the current funding situation, the district will never get to a full program. The district board discussed the possibility of fully implementing TK at its December meeting but was told it would cost around $4.4 million to implement one full year for 290 chil-

dren in 16 sections. Fully funding TK would require the district to pull from its general fund, which leaders said could jeopardize other priorities such as small class sizes, STEAM+ programs and counselors. Fitzpatrick, a staunch advocate for TK in Del Mar Union, disagreed that the district does not have the funds to provide TK. She noted that they receive more funding in property taxes than most neighboring districts and said declining to fund TK is a disservice to local families. “This has been really great to see that you guys are making efforts to implement TK. However, I don't want to limit it, especially if we have the ability to serve more students next year,” Fitzpatrick said. A parent of a four-yearold who spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting said she would like to see any additional funding go toward a TK program that prioritizes students based on age rather than income level. “I hope that we can allocate this to the TK program, so some kids like my four-year-old can benefit from it,” she said. Superintendent Holly McClurg said staff will come to the board with updates about other program details, including the location. Four other neighboring elementary districts are also not offering TK. These include Solana Beach, Encinitas Union, Rancho Santa Fe and Cardiff school districts.

Torrey Pines grad relishes hometown Farmers Open sports talk jay paris

ichael Kim chuckled, and after years of an up - a nd- dow n ride on the PGA Tour, he deserved it. When the Farmers Insurance Open compiled a note of locals playing in last week’s FIO, Kim was an outof-towner. “I’m kind of looking at the list, and I see Charley Hoffman (Rancho Santa Fe); yeah, I get that,” Kim said. “I see Xander Schauffele (San Diego State, Carmel Valley), yeah, I get that. “I see J.J. Spaun (SDSU); I’m like, hmm if you remember J.J., you probably should remember me.” Kim, who led Torrey Pines High to the state title in his senior year, didn’t let the oversight derail his positive vibe. Not after riding an elevator that most pros experience. That’s why Kim’s smile is extra wide when he’s on the Torrey Pines courses he knows well.

Kim, 30, has played on them and watched this event so many times that it’s hard to decipher the exact number of his visits. What’s clear is that outside of a major, nothing is sweeter for Kim than showing well on the cliffs overlooking La Jolla. “Yeah, this tournament is obviously really special for me,” said Kim, a Dallas resident who stayed with his parents in Del Mar for the FIO. “Torrey Pines is where I grew up playing. So I’m always excited to come back to this event, and it’s almost

a dream come true. The dream is to actually win the thing, so we’ll see.” Kim didn’t quite cross that off his wish list, finishing tied for 37th. But he’s pumped about his play of late, which includes making three straight cuts and a tie for sixth at the recent American Express in La Quinta. That’s three tournaments of solid golf, and if the golf gods owe anyone a solid, it’s Kim. He made his pro debut at the FIO in 2014 with butterflies.

“To be honest, I just remember being super nervous on the first tee,” Kim said. “I remember my game wasn’t in good shape. I kind of scrapped it around Thursday on the North Course to shoot 2 under. “I went to the back of the range, and I saw Tiger (Woods) was hitting some golf balls, and Sean Foley was his coach at that time. I had known Sean a little bit at that point, so I kind of used him as an intro to get a picture with (Woods) afterward. “I know I played pretty terrible that Friday to miss the cut. I just remember those first-tee jitters. It was as nervous as I’ve ever been.” Golf isn’t for the faint of heart. That’s something Kim, who posted a low amateur score in the 2013 U.S. Open, learned quickly. When Kim won the John Deere Classic in 2018, his arrow was pointed up. After that, there was a thud as he returned to Earth. Over a span of 44 PGA Tour events that featured a cut, Kim survived to play on the weekend only once. His world ranking, which had reached No. 199, nosedived to one with a comma in it. Challenging for someone seemingly poised for greatness? “It has been a pretty

France’s Pavon makes history By Staff

REGION — Matthieu Pavon made history Saturday, firing a 3-under par 69 to become the first golfer from France to win on the PGA Tour in the modern era with his victory at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. Playing on the South Course, Pavon sank an 8-foot birdie putt at No. 18, giving him a 13-under 275 for the week and a onestroke win over Denmark’s big roller-coaster ride,” Kim said. “When you grow up hoping to someday play, you only think about the good things that might happen; you don’t necessarily think about all the bad things that might happen. “During those ups and downs, I feel like I’ve grown a lot as a person and as a golfer. Surely, I am much more knowledgeable about my mental game, my full swing, and all that. Hopefully, I can use those ups and downs to further my career starting now.” Chris Drake, Torrey Pines High’s longtime golf coach, isn’t surprised that Kim, now ranked No. 101, is back on his game. “He’s always had a solid

The Tour’s modern era began in 1968. “It is big for our country,” the 31-year-old PGA Tour rookie said, according to the Associated Press. “I hope it will inspire a lot of people, because coming from an amateur player which is 800 in the world to a PGA Tour winner is pretty big.” work ethic, said Drake, who was also Kim’s teacher in an AP U.S. History class. “And I think it is showing now. “He was an excellent student. He was able to manage playing in junior golf tournaments all over the country and have excellent grades.” One is graded on the PGA Tour on how much money they’ve earned. With Kim making three consecutive cuts, he eclipsed the $6 million milestone in career earnings. While it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for Kim, that’s still a pretty keen roller-coaster ride.

Lancers on hot streak after ‘frustrating’ opener By Noah Perkins

CARLSBAD — For most coaches, silver linings are hard to find in 39-point losses. Carlsbad High School varsity boys’ basketball coach Clark Allard looked back on the Lancers’ Nov. 18 opening game molly-whopping against defending CIF Open Division state champion Harvard Westlake as the catalyst to a nearly three-month hot streak the team continues to ride. “After the game, we told the team we are always a better team in February than we are in November,” Allard told The Coast News. “The reason we wanted to play that game was to see how far we had to go and if we wanted to compete against the best, how to do it.” The elite Los Angeles private school got up early against Carlsbad, controlling the game for an easy 83-44 victory under the leadership of Christian Horry, the son of former NBA player Robert Horry, and a lineup as big as some current pro teams (four players above six-foot-seven and two at six-foot-five). “In the moment, it was obviously a little frustrating,” Allard said with a chuckle. “We didn’t play our best game and they shot really well. They are

so well-coached and play really solid on both ends of the floor. We tried to double-team and put pressure on them, and they made you pay for those things. So it kind of snowballed after getting in a hole in the first quarter.” The loss wasn’t sur-

prising; how the Lancers responded was. “Before the season, looking at our schedule, I thought we had 15 games we had a chance to lose,” Allard said. “One of the best games that we played [so far, all season] was the game right after Harvard Westlake. Against Pacifica Christian in Orange County — a very good team – we were up by 40 when we took our starters out. In comparison to Harvard Westlake, we seemed more confident and it felt like a drop in talent level.

“We like our guys to be battle-tested,” he added. “We think that helps in the playoffs when it really matters. Our main goals are to win a league championship and a CIF championship. The tougher the schedule you play the more games you get that reflect the environment of the big games.” Since the opening-night loss, the Lancers have gone 23-1, including winning the Tarkanian Classic tournament in Las Vegas and the Holiday Classic tournament at Tor-

rey Pines. Currently, Max Preps has Carlsbad as the ninthranked team in the state. “We still feel like there is a decent amount of meat on the bone where we can get better,” Allard said. “I think we are one of the best transition teams in the state. If we can get stops, steals, and long rebounds, we are hard to guard in transition. We are versatile defensively; we can switch and not lose much. We have shotmakers, and the main thing is that we are just now starting to mesh as a team.” Six-foot-three junior Jake Hall and senior Tony Duckett, 6-foot-4, lead the Lancers’ scoring attack at 20 and 18 points per game, respectively. “They have both improved a ton,” Allard said. “Jake has been a prolific scorer, scoring 21 as a freshman, but now he is getting face-guarded and double-teamed every game, and he has turned into an exceptional passer. He has also become a much better defender; he can guard one through five. On top of that, he has become a much better leader. The last two years, he took a backseat to the upperclassmen. This year, he has taken on a leadership role.” On Duckett, Allard said, “Tony is the most improved player in all of San Diego. On top of growing a couple of inches, he has really developed a complete scoring package where he can score at all three levels: off-ball screens, catch and shoot, and going to the basket. It makes us really hard

to guard, where if a play breaks down, we can just get it to Tony and expect him to put it in the basket.” Allard called senior transfer and Pepperdine commit Jael Martin the team’s “missing piece.” At six-foot-nine, Martin has been unrelenting under the basket on both ends of the floor. “Both of our last two teams were very good, but it was hard for us to get stops in the paint,” Allard said. “He’s arguably the best rim protector in the state and he cleans up a lot of our defensive breakdowns. He’s averaging close to four blocks a game, is our leading rebounder and is shooting close to 70% from the field.” The Lancers won the 2022 CIF San Diego section championship. This year’s team might just be better. “To be 19-2 at this point is better than what we expected to be,” Allard said recently. “It’s a testament to our guys being super talented and learning how to win in a lot of different ways.” A playoff rematch against Harvard Westlake is possible, but Allard doesn’t think it would be the same game. “If we played Harvard Westlake, I am very confident we wouldn’t lose by 40,” he said. “We would have to play our A-plus game to beat them; that’s why they are the defending champions. “I do think we can compete with anyone in the state and we have proved that with some of our wins.”

Blakespear plans to close legal defense fund After settlement, fund raises $180K in contributions By Jordan P. Ingram

ENCINITAS — Democratic legislator State Sen. Catherine Blakespear is reportedly closing a legal defense fund she created to combat a censorship lawsuit with constituents who accused her of blocking them on her official Facebook page. Since it was established, Blakespear’s legal defense fund has raised $300,000 in contributions, with $182,000 pouring in from various supporters in the months after the lawsuit was settled in early September. The Los Angeles Daily Journal first reported the story. “The plaintiffs and I settled the lawsuit in the fall of 2023, and throughout the end of the year, I worked to raise the money to pay my legal bills,” Blakespear told The Coast News via email. “There is no ongoing litigation, and I am currently in the process of closing the legal defense fund.” State law allows legislators and candidates to establish legal defense funds for cases “arising directly out of the conduct of an election campaign, the electoral process, or the performance of the officer’s governmental activities and duties.” While there are no contribution limits for these funds, any remaining funds must be disposed of once the legal issue is resolved and all associated expenses have been paid, according to the Fair Political Practices Com-

mission. As previously reported by The Coast News, Blakespear established the legal defense fund after Encinitas resident Garvin Walsh and several others filed a lawsuit alleging the former mayor had violated their constitutionally protected free speech rights by blocking them from participating on her Facebook page. Under the legal representation of Rancho Santa Fe attorney Carla DiMare, the plaintif fs also accused Blakespear of breach of contract for allegedly BLAKESPEAR violating a pr e v iou sl y signed settlement agreement by issuing a bad-faith apology and paying a $5,000 fee using her campaign funds rather than personal finances. The Coast News reported on Sept. 4, 2023, that a settlement between parties had been reached. Five months after the complaint was settled and dismissed, Blakespear’s legal defense fund still remains active with a cash balance of $32,665. “In 2022, Blakespear could have avoided the Walsh litigation, and therefore her legal defense fund, by simply issuing the apology that she had agreed to issue and paying the $5,000 that she had agreed to pay,” DiMare told The Coast News. “After the Walsh case was settled, Blakespear did not close her fund. She kept her fund open for business and pulled in $182,000 in donations. It’s troubling. It is

also reasonable to ask if she now owes favors.” Since the settlement on Sept. 4, the legal defense fund has received monetary donations from several casino gaming tribes, including Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation ($10,000), Pechanga Band of Indians ($5,000), Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians ($5,000) and Jamul Indian Village of California ($5,000). Other post-settlement contributors to the legal defense fund include McDonald’s Corporation ($7,500), the Govern for California Courage Committee ($7,500), Southern California Edison ($5,000), Davita, Inc. ($10,000), California Business Properties Association PAC ($10,000) and a committee sponsored by the California Faculty Association ($10,000). The most recent donation came earlier this month with a $10,000 contribution on Jan. 5 from Escondido-based Prime Capital HR and Dalrada Financial Corporation. On the other side of the ledger, between Jan. 1, 2023, and Sept. 30, 2023, Blakespear’s legal defense has reported $269,705.93 in expenditures, including $55,000 to Olson Remcho, a political law firm representing Democrats in California. “It’s quite sad and shameful,” Walsh told The Coast News via email. “Catherine Blakespear got herself into a mess and turned to political donors to bail her out. Now she is indebted and will repay her debts with votes in the legislature at the expense of her constituents. I hope people will realize that her conduct in this whole affair has been dishonorable.”

rolled in the program, the Federal Railroad Administration has issued a $500,000 grant to create an initial development plan for the corridor. Levin said that while this may seem like a small amount of money, it ultimately increases the chance of obtaining additional funding for needed improvements like the Del

Mar rail relocation. “That will put us on a much better path forward to be able to secure the potentially billions of dollars in additional funding that will be needed,” Levin said. While these are positive steps forward, officials say more leadership at the state level is needed to fully realize critical rail improvements. Blakespear, who is also the chair of a new Senate subcommittee focused on

resiliency for the LOSSAN corridor, said she is working to align state interests with those of the local and regional agencies that have been driving the project. “When we’re asking for greater state leadership, what we’re really saying is, we want to align goals and have a shared set of commitments to meeting those goals. Right now, we don't have a system that’s doing it,” Blakespear said. “What does the state want to see?”

‘Best of’ contest is back By Staff

The vibrant communities of North County are gearing up to celebrate excellence and recognize outstanding local businesses and services through “The Best of North County” awards. From beloved eateries to trusted service providers, residents are encouraged to nominate their favorites for this prestigious accolade, with nominations open until Feb. 14. Whether you’re an owner, an employee, a customer or a fan, this is the opportunity to let your voices be heard. Chris Kydd, the publisher of The Coast News Group, said that the contest places a well-deserved spotlight on outstanding local business owners, operators, and employees. From pizza parlors and diners to automotive shops and dentists, small businesses are an invaluable thread in the fabric of our area and need the community’s support. The Coast News launched The Best of North County last year in response to many requests from readers who wanted a contest solely dedicated to celebrating excellence in North County, something that hadn’t been done prior to this event. “North County has evolved into an area with its’ own unique identity very different from San Diego proper,” Kydd said. “We have over 1.22 million residents and represent about onethird of the total economy

in San Diego. It is time to reward those businesses that we frequent every day and that is exactly what The Best of North County accomplishes.” Voting will begin on Feb. 28 after all nominations are received. Visitors may cast one vote per subcategory and are invited to return every day through March 13 to support their favorite local businesses. Credibility is essential in any competition, so a third party will handle the entire process. Gold and Silver winners will be awarded in over 200 subcategories, classified within eleven consolidated categories: • Entertainment. • Education • Food & Beverage • Home and Garden • Law • Lifestyle & Beauty • Medical • Real Estate • Services • Shopping

• Vehicle & Services Winners will be announced, featured online at TheBestofNorthCounty. com and published in The Best of North County winners guide. The Coast News Group is looking for a title sponsor for this year’s contest and encourages any interested individuals or businesses to contact the newspaper. The Coast News Group plans to publish thousands of copies of the glossy, full-color volume that will be distributed throughout the community. Along with showcasing the winners, the magazine is designed to serve as a guidebook for both locals and visitors seeking the very best that the area has to offer. Last year, the contest generated over 1,100 nominations, and the team is expecting to exceed that this year. Submit your nominations at TheBestofNorthCounty.com.

Woman sentenced after occupying elderly victim’s home By City News Service

REGION — A woman who illegally moved into an 89-year-old resident’s Carmel Mountain Ranch home after the victim was moved into a nursing care facility was sentenced Jan. 29 to two years of probation. Asfar “Benny” Shamlou, 67, moved into the victim’s home in 2021, claimed to the victim’s family that she

owned the home, and then refused to leave, according to the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors say the victim has dementia and suffered a stroke prior to being moved into a care facility. After discovering the home was vacant and delinquent on property taxes, Shamlou moved in, according to the D.A.’s Office,

which said Shamlou threw away all of the owner’s possessions and remodeled the home. Shamlou was convicted by a jury last month of felony counts of theft from an elder, burglary, grand theft of personal property, and vandalism. As part of her probation, Shamlou was also ordered to perform 150 hours

of community service and to stay away from the victims and the home. The victim’s family is working on regaining possession of the residence, the D.A.’s Office said. ...A Rancho Bernardo man was arrested Jan. 30 after police raided his home — allegedly finding ghost guns and rocket-propelled grenades — in response to his teenage son’s purported

threats to shoot up his high school, authorities said. Neal James Anders, 45, was jailed on suspicion of possession of illegal firearms, manufacturing assault weapons and possession of destructive devices, according to the San Diego Police Department. Anders’ son, whose name was withheld because he is a minor, was taken into

custody Friday and booked into juvenile hall after fellow Rancho Bernardo High School students reported that he had made comments about carrying out a shooting at the Paseo Lucido campus. Anders was being held at San Diego Central Jail on $300,000 bail pending arraignment, scheduled for Thursday afternoon.

project site, which currently features two container-style eateries, Choice Juicery and Crackheads. While some attendees were less angry about the project than others, many agreed that the project did not fit the area. “It’s taller than anything else on this block,” said resident John Raue. “Its design is a lot better than the design that got voted down three or four years ago, but it just doesn’t fit the feeling of the village.” Christine Davis, executive director for the Carlsbad Village Association, said she was encouraged that the applicant organized the meeting but was disappointed that the format and location did not allow for more productive discussion. Many attendees said they could not hear Moeller, while others were shouting over one another. “I was hoping to talk more about the proposed ar-

chitectural style, character, and aesthetics since this location is so prominent that it will influence future development in Carlsbad Village. I was also hoping to talk about their commitment to adding retail that will complement downtown and offer us something unique or something we don’t current-

ly have. I am looking forward to hearing more from them,” Davis said. Lakritz told The Coast News that the proposed project complies with all current development standards and that he is not asking for any variance or zoning change. “I think it will have a

big impact, a big windfall. I think it will attract more tourists and provide more places for people to entertain themselves,” Lakritz said. “The whole Village is changing — there are new stores and new restaurants; everything is moving forward. I’m just exercising my right to move forward too.”

He said he is also discussing with the current tenants about continuing to operate in the new development. Despite strong adverse reactions at the initial information session, Moeller said they have also received positive feedback about the project. “There were a lot of people who came to that meeting, and believe it or not, we do have a lot of supporters also — they just don’t show

Beer in Review: A year of indie craft breweries I Like

Beer

jeff spanier

y the time this article is published, most Americans will have faltered — or forgotten — their New Year’s resolutions. I am happy to report that I successfully maintained my annual commitment, one that I have pledged to again this year: Supporting local, independent craft breweries and taprooms. Even in my travels across the country and abroad, I seek out small, unique, independently-owned businesses. I find that they always have a story to share as well as terrific beers, unlike the mainstream and larger brewery options. More often than not, I get to meet an equally impressive owner, brewer or team member. Here is my 2023 Beer in Review: January: I rang in the New Year with a Gold Medal-winning beer, Rye Dawn brown ale from Breakwater Brewing Company. The CoLab Public House, which houses Breakwater Brewing, has been a go-to spot when meeting up with friends and family who also want to enjoy a glass of wine.

The tasting room was only open for forty-five more minutes, but it was a very impressive short visit. Unique wild and sour ales made using “ancient arts” and modern innovations. I left with several bottles. August: In an earlier trip to Seattle, my visit to Georgetown Brewing had been thwarted. So, this trip was highly anticipated. Instead of chastising myself for missed opportunities, I relished in the absolutely mind-boggling number of excellent beers. Manny’s Pale Ale may be the best pale ale I’ve ever tasted. I had several to reassess and confirm that judgment.

Peace Pies raw food cafe returns to Leucadia lick the plate

david boylan

remember the day vividly in September 2019 when the building housing Mozy Café, Shatto & Sons, and Peace Pies was destroyed in an all-consuming fire. All three establishments had long local histories and devoted customer bases. Mozy was my go-to lunch spot, and I dabbled in Peace Pies at a point when my vegan sensibilities were not yet as evolved as they have become. Over four years later, building owner Jim Shatto’s vision to provide spaces for small businesses to flourish arrived with the opening of the new Peace Pies on January 12 and Leucadia Barbershop shortly after. I love that Peace Pies is back in the neighborhood it helped to define, and that owner JP Alfred has created a beautiful new indoor and outdoor environment to enjoy his elevated vegan delights. JP has a backstory worth telling in brief, and then I’ll get to the vegan goodness he is creating at the new Peace Pies. He was raised in southern Rhode Island and grew up on a very standard American diet with a heavy emphasis on pasta. His grandfather had a large garden, which was always incorporated into dinners seasonally, so the early seeds were planted with JP, so to speak. His kitchen gigs began when he was 13 years old, washing dishes and peeling shrimp while quickly falling in love with restaurant culture. The hard work, comradery, and meditative tasks that passed the workday were all appealing to him. This began a series of restaurant gigs, including seafood, burgers, Italian and Mexican. The kitchen became his haven. At 18, seeking a change from East Coast winters, he headed west in search of the California lifestyle. He landed in Ocean Beach and formed the jaded misconception that all of California would be exactly like it — kind of like when I landed in Encinitas! He quickly landed a job at an Italian restaurant in San Diego’s Hillcrest neighborhood, where the head chef spoke Italian, and the rest of the kitchen spoke Spanish, so he was forced to quickly learn how to prepare entrees without verbal communication — a key skill in the restaurant world. Next up was People’s Organic Food Co-op in the vegan deli, where he was

given the freedom to create recipes using the co-op’s amazing produce and grocery aisles as his pantry. He quickly realized the need and demand for raw food and began a deep dive into raw vegan recipe development. He loved the challenge of manipulating traditional recipes to make them vegan. In 2007, he was frequenting farmer’s markets and noticed the lack of clean, vegan-prepared food options. He set up shop at a market, bringing pie and pizza crusts and creating dishes on the spot with what was locally and seasonally available. In 2008, he opened his first location in Ocean Beach, which served as a commissary to make food for the markets. With growing demand, in 2011, he took over a former raw food restaurant called The Greenery in Leucadia from Chris and Melissa Carrier. A devoted base of North County patrons quickly developed until the

fire in 2019. Given all that restaurant experience, the artistry that JP puts into many of his dishes made more sense, as it is truly chef-driven vegan cuisine. “I’m a firm believer that people eat with their eyes first and there’s something to be said about how a dish is served,” JP said. “You can tell how much respect and love is put into every aspect of our offerings by how they look when they’re presented. I want our plates to showcase the vibrance of raw food and be parallel with the atmosphere in which it’s served.” I can attest to the fact that some of his creations are truly culinary works of art. All of the offerings at Peace Pies are made inhouse, raw, vegan, glutenand soy-free. None of the food is heated above 115 degrees to protect the integrity of the nutritional benefits of the ingredients. They use seeds, nuts, fruits and vegetables as their main ingredients and

manipulate them into nostalgic dishes in a very aesthetically pleasing manner. I also found their desserts amazing and can’t really tell the difference between them and non-vegan pastries. At Peace Pies, JP utilizes seeds, nuts, and fruits to prepare desserts, recreating childhood favorites such as Girl Scout cookies, Hostess cupcakes, Butterfingers, and Twix, all free from refined sugars, gluten, soy, and grains. My visits to Peace Pies have included the Majestic Mediterranean Wrap with falafel, cucumber dill, hummus and veggies. Wow, this was a hearty and flavorful lunch, though next time, I may have to make it dinner as it is quite substantial. I’ve also tried the Kelp & Kale Salad with kelp in noodle form, kale, cashew cheese, olives and avocado. I’ve never experienced kelp in this form, and it was a delight. I loved this dish, and it’s another visual masterpiece from JP.

And how could I not try the Bliss Burger? The name itself sold me, and well, this was so pretty to look at that I almost didn’t want to disturb it. But I did, and it was delicious. Their pastry case is a beauty, with several decadent offerings. I went with their version of Twix, and it was presented with culinary flair as well…and tasted better than a real Twix, in my opinion. Peace Pies is back in a

big way and worth adding to your North County culinary mix, regardless of whether you are a full-on vegan or can just appreciate a healthy balance in your diet. Quality, purity and integrity need to be nurtured and supported, and Peace Pies has all that and more.

hen you think of what you love or what you are attracted to, what are these things, people or qualities? You probably have a level of awareness of your likes and dislikes. There are basic laws of attraction such as like attracts like, nature abhors a vacuum and the present is always perfect. You may have practiced these mindsets in the past, or you sought advice and were told to manifest the positive. These are great exercis-

work on your core beliefs, but you also have to work on a positive mindset. These are the two initial steps to take before you can really manifest. You may find yourself frustrated if you continue to attract something that is fear-based in your work or relationships.

As you take an assessment of the things you love this February, look for the following things. • Am I doing what I love daily? • If I’m not, why not? • Is there something holding me back? • What do I really believe about myself? • What do I say to myself?

You can remove the critical, lack-of-belief voice and substitute it for another voice. Then, your deep-seated pain lies in what you think is true about yourself. Often, this fear holds us back.

WHEN MARIA adopted Griz from San Diego Humane Society, two lives were changed for the better. Courtesy photo

Find love, for now or ‘furever’ Seeking a companion to cuddle up with you on the couch? Or perhaps you need a quiet confidant you can share your deepest secrets with. Maybe you’re an outdoor adventurer looking for the perfect match for your active lifestyle. No matter what you’re searching for, San Diego Humane Society promises to help you find love. The local nonprofit animal shelter continues to have a record-high number of animals in care, with more than 270 dogs and 80 cats currently available for adoption. With so many deserving animals in need of homes, now is the perfect time to add a new pet to your family, either permanently through adoption or temporarily through fostering. Browse the organization’s website or visit one of their four shelter locations in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside or San Diego to meet adorable pets and start a love story like the happy tale of Griz and Maria. Griz was surrendered to San Diego Humane Society and suffering from serious skin allergies that caused itching and scabbing. The shelter’s staff provided him with medicated baths, allergy medicine and lots of TLC before Maria welcomed him into her home. He now enjoys going on adventures with his family, and he especially

loves car rides and spending time with his favorite humans. Maria says that she has found a lifelong best friend in Griz and that he knows exactly how to cheer her up when she’s feeling down. When Griz was adopted, two lives were changed for the better, and a beautiful bond was created that continues to grow stronger every day. There’s no question that pets like Griz add a special type of love to our lives. Their adorable quirks, sense of companionship and unwavering dedication to brightening our day help us to combat feelings of loneliness and improve our mental and physical health. There are so many benefits to adopting or fostering a pet, including that it saves lives! If you choose to temporarily open your home to a pet in need, San Diego Humane Society will provide you with everything you need to be successful, including training, supplies and veterinary care for your foster animal. Giving an animal a break from the shelter can be truly transformative for them and incredibly rewarding for you. If you’re ready to open your heart and your home to a love like no other, visit sdhumane.org to browse adoptable pets or sign up to foster. Your new best friend awaits!

Construction of the FiberCity® network is well underway! This multi-year, privately funded fiber internet infrastructure project puts Oceanside on the map and the city will enjoy sustained digital prosperity for generations to come. Oceanside FiberCity® will end residents’ connectivity woes, helping businesses thrive, and it will enable the City to digitally advance their services and vision for the community making it an even greater place to live, work and play. In this information age, technology impacts everything from education and healthcare to emergency services and home security. It’s transforming the way we live, work and play, and this digital revolution is growing rapidly. The Oceanside FiberCity® network will support all of this and more. The network is open access, meaning that multiple service providers can join the network, whether that be internet service providers or other providers. This is one network for all which also benefits the environment by negating the need for over building the city with multiple internet networks, not to mention reducing disruption from construction work in the community. The FiberCity® network will bring a connectivity point to homes and businesses, and as we build, we will lay the connectivity

‘Tree Doctor’ wins award 2 years in a row Since 1985, Russell Bowman has been delighting residents of San Diego County with his plant and tree expertise. So, it’s no wonder Bowman Plant & Tree Care Specialists have been named the San Diego Union-Tribune Community Press’ “Best of North County” voters’ poll for tree and plant care for a 2nd year in a row! He is lovingly referred to as the San Diego “tree doctor extraordinaire” by his clients, Bowman is known for transforming sickly trees and gardens into Disneyesque wonderlands. Using his own proprietary blend of organic biological nutrition, Bowman feeds plants at night — a technique he picked up during his time as a horticulturist at Disneyland. “When you feed plants at night, they have enough time to absorb the nutrition, before it is degraded by the sun’s rays,” he said. “That’s why, when most people are winding down their days, eating dinner, and going to bed, we are out feeding plants and trees.” He’s done more than just care for sick plants and trees, he’s revolutionized both residential and commercial properties by the use of his organic fertilizer tanks that inject his magical formula through your irrigation systems.

RUSSELL BOWMAN is lovingly referred to as the San Diego “tree doctor extraordinaire.” Courtesy photo

In a very short time, this program pays back through reduced water bills. “When you give your body proper nutrition, it affects your overall health and boosts your immunity, so you don’t get sick. The same is true for plants and trees.” Bowman feeds complete “nutrition delivery biology” derived from earthworm castings to replenish the missing healthy soil biology. This works with a client’s current irrigation system so that each time the landscaping is watered, the needed soil biology is replen-

ished. “This is the secret to keeping your property looking like a five-star resort.” Russell is quick to point out that healthy plants and trees are also environmentally friendly. A healthy plant will be more efficient at photosynthesizing sunlight into oxygen and the healthy soil/ compost helps bring down uses far less water. He donates his time and expertise for the trees for the Point Loma Association and gardens at the Rock Church in Point Loma, Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery,

the YMCA, Barnes Tennis Center, Chili’s Restaurants, Stone Brewery in Escondido, and San Diego Botanic Garden. He also served with the San Diego Rose Society in Balboa Park for 12 years. “My calling is to beautify the earth, making trees and plants healthy,” The Master Gardener taught me everything I know. I’ve learned that when you love something, it’s not something you have to do; it’s something you want to do.” To learn more about Bowman and his services, please contact Russell at 858-499-9417. He provides tree and plant nutritional care as well as ongoing routine garden maintenance. Russell Bowman abides by all applicable state laws and requirements and does not perform any services that require a licensed contractor. Business license B2017006153.

Be in the know and in the money ask mr. marketing rob weinberg

ately I’ve been bumping into a surge of people who purposely ignore the news. Given the border conflicts, climate distress and just plain incivility going on in the world today, I understand their need to avoid the daily reminders of our communal problems. Ignorance is bliss, and all that. Yet I can’t help myself. As a business owner, it’s incumbent upon me to stay current, both for myself and for my clients. Like a car wreck on the highway, I have to look. I’ve actually become a big believer in following the news. Not just online, where I typically have algorithms feeding me more of whatever I read last, but magazines and newspapers. Reveling in getting newsprint on my fingers each morning, I read the LA Times, San Diego Union-Tribune and a ton of magazines cover to cover. I also follow The Coast News, other local papers and 9-12 news feeds across the political spectrum. Because of this exposure, I typically learn about a lot of stuff that wouldn’t otherwise be on my radar. I like traditional me-

dia because it exposes me to a wide variety of issues and business or demographic trends that I’d have otherwise easily missed. It was this news flow that helped me and a partner see the growing number of books being written annually (2 million in the US alone). As my partner is a professional writer, it was an easy step to starting Write Away Books, offering services to help authors go "from idea to manuscript to marketplace." Regardless of what you sell, there are probably additional products or services you can offer, and new audiences you can be reaching. However, if you’re not using a diverse news feed to track what’s going on in the world around you, I promise you’re missing opportunities. Layer atop the news joining networking groups and talking to lots of people with diverse opinions, and you’re guaranteed to be better positioned for huge success. As you’re firming up your strategies for the coming quarters, your organization can only benefit by exploring beyond your current limits. Opportunity awaits the brave and rewards those with vision. And the best way to gain that vision is by being aware of events taking place in the world today. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

Purrmione Granger is Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s pet of the week. She is a 4-year-old, 9-pound, female, domestic short hair cat with a red tabby coat. She was taken to a local shelter along with several other cats. When the other cats were adopted, Purrmione Granger was transferred to RCHS through Friends of County Animal Shelters. She stayed in a group room and loves other cats. The attendants in the cattery agree that a wand toy and playtime are the quickest ways to her heart. Purrmione can be timid and is seeking a patient and understanding home where she can blossom at her own pace. The $100 adoption fee includes a medical exam, neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, registered microchip and a one-year license if the new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services.

vices, including counseling, special education, college and career planning, and resources for students with diverse needs, are valued by parents and guardians who want their children to receive personalized attention and assistance.

Aging Solo: Navigating independence with confidence What is meant by the term “solo ager”? Usually, this refers to adults aged 55 and above who find themselves — whether by circumstance or by their own choice — without the traditional support of adult children or close family. For those anticipating aging without that safety net, the journey may seem daunting and isolating. Yet, “solo” doesn’t mean “alone”! Growing old doesn't mean a descent into helplessness. Embracing your later years with grace and assurance is possible, and the first step is a well-

thought-out plan. Whether you possess a robust support system or not, this seminar can help anyone navigating the challenges of aging independently. Our panel of experts will help educate, equip, and empower you with knowledge and tools for the future. • Learn Expert Advice: Navigate tough medical, financial, and housing decisions. • Learn Real Solutions: Build a support network tailored to your specific needs.

• Learn Essential Questions: Find out the questions about aging solo you might not even realize you need to be asking. • Learn How to Leverage: Utilize services, technology, and resources to your best advantage, to enhance your life journey. Empower yourself with the information you need to plan for a safe, financially secure, healthy, happy old age. Register now for this informative and empowering session of the Senior Education Series.

A meandering, memorable Surfliner trip to SLO hit the road e’louise ondash

he train platform at the Oceanside Transportation Center is deserted when we arrive at 4:30 a.m., but as Amtrak’s 4:57 a.m. northbound Surfliner approaches, the number increases to a half-dozen. We have about a minute to climb aboard, settle our luggage and find our seats. The next time I check my surroundings, our train is pulling into Los Angeles’ Union Station, where the number of passengers boarding increases considerably. For a moment, I regret having dozed away the miles between Oceanside and Los Angeles, but then it occurs to me that the sun is just coming up, so we didn’t miss much. During the 15-minute layover at Union Station, I head to the car behind ours for coffee, juice, pastries and vegan gluten-free cookies. Besides these complimentary snacks and drinks, business class fare — $20 to $30 more than coach — gives passengers the services of an attendant; additional leg room; priority boarding; and a fully refundable ticket if canceled prior to departure. Seats in

AMTRAK’S SURFLINER, left, passes through Gaviota State Beach, 33 miles west of Santa Barbara. Much of the 351-mile Surfliner route between San Diego and San Luis Obispo includes spectacular shoreline, quaint towns and, at this time of year, emerald-green foothills, some that can be seen only by plane or train. At right, the seven-hour-plus trip from Oceanside to San Luis Obispo allows passengers to set up camp for working, reading and watching California’s coastline pass by the windows.

all coaches have outlets for charging devices, and Wi-Fi is available throughout most of the ride. Our destination on this early-January day: San Luis Obispo, or SLO Town as locals call it. This Central Coast town (population 45,000; 65,000 when Cal Poly is in session) also is the end of the line for the Surfliner. Our goal: to spend 3½, car-free days in SLO. (More on that later.) There is plenty to see outside Amtrak’s Surfliner windows on the run between San Diego and San Luis Obispo. This community

garden in Carpinteria, the stop between Santa Barbara and Ventura, sits adjacent to the tracks. Photo by E’Louise Ondash The Surfliner is not the fastest way to get from North County to SLO — although it could be depending on what happens as you thread your way through the maze of freeways that is Los Angeles. Today, however, we find that spending a couple of extra leisurely hours on the train is a more-thanfair trade for avoiding the often-white-knuckle drive through the state’s largest metro area. In fact, as our

train pulls into SLO, I find myself hustling to stash my iPad, notes and book into my backpack and wishing we had just a bit more train time. Looking back on our 350-mile, six-county trip, we found it both relaxing and entertaining. I relished the uninterrupted time for reading, and when my eyes needed a break, there was an IMAX show happening right outside our window. We saw stunning coastline, quaint small towns worth further investigating, and some awe-inspiring countryside that, in some

cases, can only be seen by plane or train. There are two dozen stations between Oceanside and SLO, and though that sounds like a lot, the train never stops for more than a minute at each station. I occasionally checked our progress on my phone, and was surprised at the meandering route of the Surfliner, sometimes heading due north and sometimes heading due west — a reminder that California’s coastline sometimes faces south. The seven-hour-plus trip from Oceanside to San Luis Obispo on Amtrak’s

Surfliner allows passengers to set up camp for working, reading and watching California’s coastline pass by the windows. Photo by E’Louise Ondash Some of the scenes beyond our window were expected; some were not. I’ll remember what must be the healthiest magnolia trees in Southern California, thriving near the Simi Valley Station; the looming Santa Ynez Mountains; early stages of construction of a village near Moorpark Station; the seemingly endless emerald hills of Lompoc and strawberry fields of Camarillo; the community garden of Carpinteria; the Victorians of Oxnard; the sharp silhouette of the Channel Islands, looking as if they’d been pasted on the horizon; the cyclists peddling along Highway 1; the historic Ventura Pier stretching into the ocean; and the sunlight dancing on the hypnotizing Pacific surf, reminding us why we endure the high cost of West Coast living. All of this made climbing out of bed at the ungodly hour of 3 a.m. very much worth it. The damage caused by recent heavy rains may necessitate the periodic closure of portions of the track, so check with the Surfliner’s schedule. Travel by bus may be necessary to bypass these sections.
