County sued over AA deal

Suit targets flights at Carlsbad airport

By Walker Armstrong

CARLSBAD

— A local group

filed a lawsuit on Jan. 27 against the County of San Diego, alleging that officials violated state environmental laws when allowing American Airlines to provide daily flights out of McClellan-Palomar Airport.

The lawsuit, filed by Citizens for a Friendly Airport, challenges the Jan. 8 decision by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors to approve a two-year lease agreement with American Airlines.

The group alleges that the county ignored environmental risks, particularly related to noise, air quality and traffic congestion and failed to conduct a thorough environmental review before approving the project.

Specifically, the legal filing claims the project has potential adverse environmental impacts that were not properly evaluated.

“The project’s significant direct, indirect, or cumulative adverse impacts on the environment give rise to Respondent’s legal obligation to prepare an environmental impact report specifically for the project,” the complaint states.

The lawsuit further alleges that the county did not allow enough public input and violated existing land-use rules, including the airport’s conditional use permit with the city of Carlsbad.

The lawsuit requests an order prohibiting the county and American Airlines from proceeding with any aspect of the lease deal until after both parties fully comply

Crews snuff fire at sci-fi writer’s home

By Jordan P. Ingram

ENCINITAS — Firefighters quickly knocked down a garage fire at the Olivenhain home of an award-winning science fiction writer early Saturday morning, authorities said.

Crews initially responded to reports of a vehicle fire just before midnight on Jan. 24 at 801 Calle Santa Cruz off Camino Del Rancho, a spokesperson with the Encinitas Fire Department told The Coast News.

According to county property records, the home is owned by G. David Brin, author of “The Postman,” “Earth” and “Startide Rising.”

At approximately 12:05 a.m. on Saturday, neighbors, including Mayor Bruce Ehlers, reported hearing sirens followed by loud explosions and observed flames above the trees near the home.

Encinitas fills vacant

D4 seat

By Walker Armstrong

ENCINITAS — The Encinitas City Council appointed a small business owner as the new District 4 council member on Jan. 22, filling the vacancy left by newly elected Mayor Bruce Ehlers following his victory in November.

The council selected Olivenhain resident Marco San Antonio, owner of One Day Signs downtown, to fill the District 4 seat, which covers Olivenhain and parts of New Encinitas.

In addition to owning a small business, San Antonio is known locally for his leadership on the Olivenhain Municipal Water District board and volunteer firefighting background.

The decision followed hours of public comments, candidate interviews and council deliberations during a meeting that stretched late into the evening. The council approved San Antonio's appointment with a 3-1 vote, with Councilmember Joy Lyndes casting the lone dissenting vote.

After significant debate and a failed initial motion to select Brad Lefkowitz, owner of Waves Landscape Design, followed by another failed motion to appoint Denise Martin, a high school math teacher, the council eventually voted landed on San Antonio.

“My interest in serving Encinitas goes no further than here,” San Antonio said, addressing the council. “I do not have any political aspirations to go to Sacramento, I’m here for the sole purpose to make Encinitas the very best version of itself.”

As a first grader in 1980, San Antonio said he moved to Village Park in New Encinitas. In 1989, the family’s business, One Day Signs, was established under the historic Encinitas sign along Coast Highway 101.

Future of Vista magnet school stalls

By Leo Place

VISTA —

Vista Unified School District leaders are clashing over the next steps for magnet school Vista Innovation and Design Academy (VIDA), as some school board members argue that community members should have another chance to give input via a formal committee.

Following direction from the school board in early November, VIDA is preparing to move its programs from its current campus on Olive Avenue to the vacant Rancho Minerva Middle School, which closed last June, for the start of the 2025-26 school year.

These decisions came out of a school consolidation process conducted in mid-2023, with an asset management advisory committee (also known as a 7-11 committee) made up of district staff and parents recommending at the time to close Beaumont Elementary and Rancho Minerva Middle schools and relocate VIDA.

Several committee members have stated that they felt pushed toward making a recommendation predetermined by the district and were not permitted to discuss factors such as impacts on students and transportation.

While the former board majority agreed that re-

At the board’s Jan. 16 meeting, trustees Rena Marrocco and Sue Martin, elected in November, urged the board to reconvene the asset management advisory committee to make new recommendations.

“Basically, had we done this correctly from the getgo, we would not be in this situation right now … It was the district coming in with an agenda to get what it wants, without taking into consideration the very people we formed a committee to hear from,” Marrocco said. “Maybe we can just revisit this entire process to come up with a very fair outcome that will restore a good name and reputation with our community.”

Many community members have been upset by the decision to relocate VIDA, noting that the campus offers unique amenities

lion in renovations needed for the 60-year-old campus to meet safety standards. Funds from the school’s 2018 Measure LL bond are all but dried up, and the district did not put another bond before voters in 2024 due to a lack of support from board members.

“We are expensed out of Measure LL funds … and Fund 40 is oversubscribed,” district COO Shawn Loescher said. “For the funds that are currently tied up, you would have to release those funds to release them to VIDA.”

District administrators and board members Cipriano Vargas and Martha Alvardo have also repeatedly insisted that while the consolidation process involved difficult choices, it was done appropriately.

The motion to reconvene the asset management

“They were very clear recommendations for that land, and that was a committee that was a Brown Act committee,” Alvarado said. “The intent to negate recommendations both by the long-range facilities master plan, by experts, and also the 7-11 committee, really puts this district in a financial situation that we cannot afford.”

Loescher said that as long as Rancho Minerva sits empty without a planned use, it is vulnerable to charter schools that can petition to use it for their own programs. He also noted that

VIDA students cannot remain at the Olive Avenue campus long-term because it only has a few more years of usable life.

Martin said she is not advocating for the district to somehow come up with money to renovate VIDA but to slow down and ensure they are listening to the community.

“I’m talking about the process. That has to be redone, in order to keep trust with our community and to show respect and collaborate. We actually have to collaborate with them, and that didn’t happen,” Martin said.

Mario Bojorquez, who served as the committee’s vice chair, said he felt the asset committee was there to check off a box and provide the district with the answer they wanted. Reconvening the committee, he said, could be a positive step.

“I think it would be very helpful. A lot of us are interested in coming back to finish what we started,” Bojorquez said. “We had other recommendations for the district that were kind of pushed aside.”

Rail realignment route a train wreck?

By Shirli F. Weiss

After years of bluff failures along the LOSSAN corridor in Del Mar and repeated failed attempts to stabilize the bluffs, the Coastal Commission has required SANDAG to relocate the tracks off the bluffs by 2035.

This rail realignment project is central to two California priorities: maintaining the LOSSAN corridor for rail transport and preserving the coastal environment and the health of its communities.

While rail transport is not in jeopardy because the tracks will be relocated, environmental and community interests in coastal cities like Del Mar face severe risks. Del Mar is particularly impacted by potential double-track train tunnels under its homes and pollution-spewing tunnel portals near residential areas, especially as California now intends to relax diesel train emission standards. Additionally, forced eminent domain would displace families, disrupt schools, accelerate tax and destroy generational property ownership. Construction would bring years of disruption and pollution to Del Mar, Solana Beach and the Fairgrounds.

main. Safety was narrowly defined to ignore risks posed by transporting hazardous materials under homes. The resulting SANDAG studies favored highly destructive routes with portals in Del Mar.

Del Mar advocates for honest consideration of I-5-focused routes that bypass its city, avoiding tunnels under homes and floodprone areas. After public outrage, SANDAG hastily reintroduced an I-5 option (Route A) and included it in its Notice of Preparation (NOP) of Environmental Impact Report (EIR) along with two highly destructive routes (Routes B and C), but with minimal engineering and portal design challenges.

The NOP’s three proposed routes, scathingly criticized, created conflict among Del Mar, Solana Beach and the Fairgrounds, as each stakeholder recognized the highly destructive impact of tunnel portals in their city or grounds and strongly opposed them.

NCTD’s plans to increase diesel train frequency, coupled with California’s relaxed emission standards, highlight the significant air quality and health risks for Del Mar and the destruction of the coastal environment.

The NOP’s drew over 1,500 mostly negative public comments. Its cost projections for Routes B and C are also grossly unreliable because they failed to account for the cost of eminent domain of homes and easements and foreseeable accompanying litigation. As with the rail realignment, taxpayers would have to pay for eminent domain.

In response to the backlash, new SANDAG CEO Mario Orso promised a “value analysis” prioritizing community input. However, whose “values” are being prioritized are in question. The process has been closed to the public.

If Routes B and C proceed to the EIR while bypassing I-5-focused options, Del Mar residents will view the value analysis as another process manipulation advancing rail interests over community well-being.

Prioritizing rail speed and transit time over community impacts in Del Mar sets a dangerous precedent for California’s coast. As erosion and climate change force infrastructure inland, SANDAG’s myopic approach risks transit authorities’ disregarding community voices and environmental protections statewide.

Newsom order just showboating

If ever there’s been a political move that amounted to pure grandstanding, it was Gov. Gavin Newsom’s late 2024 executive order telling a state commission to give millions of California electric customers some rate relief.

Normally, when the governor orders a state commission to do something, he can be pretty sure his wishes will be carried out. That’s because the governor appoints virtually all state commission members and they serve at his pleasure. He can bounce them any time.

That’s true for the state Energy Commission, the Air Resources Board, the Parole Board and many others. But not the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), which sets natural gas and electric rates for all the private, investor-owned utilities in the state.

Yes, the governor does appoint the five utility commissioners. But no governor can fire them. They serve staggered sixyear terms, with either one or two appointments expiring every two years. The only appeals from their decisions are to state appellate courts, not ordinary county courts, as with all other agencies.

Once a governor anoints a PUC member, they are set for years to come, almost as secure in the job as federal judges, who get lifetime appointments.

So when Newsom issued his executive order, it wasn’t really an order. It was a wish. It was for show. He can tell PUC members what to do, but unless they have ambitions for other future appointments, his wishes mean no more than those of any other citizen.

california focus

hind only Hawaii, where all fuel burned to create power has to be shipped thousands of miles before it is used.

California electric bills have risen by as much as 110% — meaning they’ve more than doubled — over the last 10 years. In just the last three years, charges to customers of the three big privately owned utilities are up by more than 20%. Those increases, paid by every consumer either directly or as part of their rents, were all approved by Newsom appointees who received only cursory vetting from the state Legislature before they were rubber-stamped.

Newsom may not have power to enforce his current executive order, but if commissioners want reappointments to their cushy jobs — where almost all the tedious scut work is done by clerks or administrative law judges — they might at least try to please him.

Del Mar was promised a fair and transparent route selection process but received the opposite. In its 2017 and 2023 studies, SANDAG invited only rail stakeholders to determine and weigh the criteria for route selection. Participants included freight carrier BNSF, NCTD, LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency, and Caltrans. Absent were representatives of Del Mar, Solana Beach, taxpayers funding the project, and the Coastal Commission.

Rail stakeholders prioritized their operational wish list — speed, transit time, and costs — while downplaying community impacts such as pollution, noise, vibration, and eminent do-

The only acceptable solution is an I-5-focused route with tunnel portals away from residential areas and the coast to minimize environmental and community impacts while maintaining rail connectivity. Instead, SANDAG has allowed rail industry-biased processes to dominate.

In addition, Solana Beach’s mayor, using her position as SANDAG’s vice chair (she is now chair) to block a portal in her city, attempted to eliminate Route A without further study in the EIR. The Fairgrounds withdrew cooperation on unrelated housing matters to pressure Del Mar into supporting NOP routes disastrous to Del Mar.

Destroying a city to save a couple of minutes in travel time in a tiny 1.7-mile portion of the LOSSAN corridor or to allow freight trains carrying hazardous materials to increase speed is, to borrow a word used by the Union-Tribune editorial board to describe the realignment: “nuts.”

Bottom line? SANDAG must commit to a fair, transparent process that prioritizes community voices and actually minimizes harm. The only viable solution is a track realignment along I-5, away from coastal cities and the Fairgrounds. The future of California’s coastal communities depends on it.

When it was designed in the early 1900s, all this was supposed to make the PUC independent. Instead, regardless of whether they’ve been appointed by Democrats or Republicans, PUC members for more than 50 years have tended to kowtow to the utilities they are supposed to keep in check.

Newsom’s order told the commissioners to review more closely how companies like Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric spend customer money to stop transmission lines from sparking wildfires. Those expenses have been the supposed basis for several rate increases over the last two years.

One result is that California now has the second highest electric rates in the nation, be -

Newsom’s executive order comes atop his calling a special legislative session last fall with the aim — achieved — of getting lawmakers to force gasoline refiners to keep substantial stocks on hand at all times to avoid price gouging during times of routine maintenance or plant outages. Such gouging has been frequent over the last 40 years, with collusion between the oil companies that run the state’s big refineries becoming obvious. Any outage at any one refinery invariably brings huge price increases at every gas station.

In February 2023 alone, this amounted to a $2 per gallon increase in pump prices within a two-day span. Newsom tried to seem like a consumer champion by putting the clamps on some energy price hikes, while at the same time allowing his appointees at the Air Resources Board to make changes in gasoline formulae that appear certain to cause price increases. It’s a complex scene and one that suggests political motivation by Newsom. Why else would he issue his latest executive order, knowing all the while that no one involved has to pay it any heed?

HEALTH SCARE

Confusion, fear among patients after Scripps-Anthem split

By Leo Place

Since finding out on New Year’s Day that Anthem would no longer cover her care at Scripps Health, Escondido resident Kirsten Lozano has spent hours every day on the phone trying to get help.

Lozano, who lives with ulcerative colitis, had scheduled medical leave from her job for January and February to receive iron transfusion treatment for her low ferritin levels, which had left her feeling exhausted much of the day.

Instead, she was left in a state of panicked limbo after Anthem Blue Cross and Scripps Health failed to agree upon contract terms and terminated their contract on Jan. 1, leaving Scripps out of network for Anthem policyholders.

The change has affected around 125,000 people, who can no longer get their

Eve news. Lozano said she never would have switched from UCSD had she known this was possible.

“I’d be nuts to take that chance. I would have stayed with UCSD, 100%, because now I’m going to go back to them anyway.

When my continuation of care runs out, I’m going back to UCSD,” Lozano said.

Anthem and Scripps had been in contract renewal discussions since early 2024 and warned customers in October that Scripps may no longer be in-network if the two parties couldn’t agree. After failing to reach an agreement by the end of the year, they announced the end of their contract effective Jan. 1.

Both parties have pointed the finger at each other. Scripps officials said Anthem would not agree to remove bureaucratic “red tape” that required significant time for medical staff to navigate. Anthem said Scripps was demanding excessive pay increases to reimburse providers.

Scripps patients being treated for ongoing conditions as of Jan. 1 have been advised to request continuity of care from Anthem to retain coverage for treatment.

In Lozano’s case, this took weeks to get, and she has been unable to get care due to her authorizations from Anthem being repeatedly canceled.

Beeson scrambled to get a necessary surgery at Scripps rescheduled from Jan. 2 to early November.

In addition, Beeson is one of thousands of people now trying to find new doctors, including pediatricians, for her family. After spending hours on the phone trying to establish care, she said many doctors aren’t taking new patients or don’t have openings for several more months.

“All of our family of four’s doctors and specialists are with Scripps. It is literally a nightmare,” Beeson said.

Talks ongoing

As care costs rise, contract disputes between providers and insurance companies are becoming more common. Medical providers have decried that insurance reimbursements aren’t keeping pace with the skyrocketing cost of health care.

Walker said it’s a lousy situation for patients. All the same, she is hopeful the two parties will reach an agreement.

“With the cost of care rising and inflation, where in the past contracts would just renew, in the past three to four years we’re hearing so much about contracts being negotiated and then waiting until the last minute,” Walker said. “It scares people, of course it does, because people don’t want to lose that care that they need.”

At this time, Scripps and Anthem remain in contract negotiations. Scripps said it continues to work with Anthem but did not comment on the status of the talks.

“I was in tears on Jan. 2 because I could not get a hold of my primary physician, and I was getting messages from the Scripps care team that I was no longer a patient at Scripps. It was a terrifying moment for me, because I had no income,” said Lozano, 51.

Lozano said she switched to Scripps from UCSD Health in November, tired of driving from Escondido to La Jolla for appointments. She was never informed that in a matter of weeks, Scripps may no longer be in-network for Anthem.

She spends hours on the phone daily with either her insurance or Scripps.

“It’s been unbelievable. I’m pretty sick; I’m not doing well. I would hope that people who have worse situations than myself aren’t having to go through this,” Lozano said.

Others have also faced confusion over which plans are affected. Scripps’s website says they are outof-network for Anthem, Anthem Blue Cross and Elevance plans, but Blue Shield of California and Anthem Blue Cross Medicare plans are unaffected.

Erin Schrenk, 63, of Vista, has Blue Cross Blue Shield for federal employees and was initially told her care would no longer be covered at Scripps.

Scripps care for another 90 days.

Regardless, Schrenk and her husband plan to switch to Medicare in May when her husband turns 65. Once she switches, she hopes to continue seeing her Scripps primary care doctor, whom she’s had for around 20 years.

“I just have to look forward to May, and maybe that will work out for me,” she said.

Those in the health insurance industry are trying to help patients navigate the chaos. Jessica Schulte Walker, principal at Schulte Insurance Agency in Encinitas, said half her work is currently dedicated to helping impacted Scripps patients.

“You want to give your clients the right answers, and when you’re getting wrong answers on five calls and then right answers on

the next ones, it’s very difficult,” Walker said. “A lot of employers are going to want to switch their plans. There’s a lot of huge employers in San Diego that use Anthem.”

Those who did manage to get procedures done before the new year still face challenges. After finding out in October that negotiations between Scripps and Anthem might fail, Carlsbad resident Susan

“While Scripps continues to pursue a reasonable resolution, Scripps patients should contact their employer’s human resource departments to understand their health insurance options,” said Scripps spokesperson Janice Collins.

Anthem said they would like to see Scripps doctors back in-network.

“We continue to work in good faith to negotiate a new agreement for Scripps to remain in our network that includes reasonable payment increases that fairly compensate Scripps for the care they provide while also keeping care accessible and affordable for those we serve in San Diego County,” Anthem said on its website.

This is not the first time Scripps patients have lost coverage. On New Year’s Day of 2024, around 32,000 San Diego County seniors were affected when two major Scripps medical groups ceased accepting Medicare Advantage plans from carriers, including Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California and others.

O’side delays Vista Bella vote

Oceana residents fighting to appeal 6-story project

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — The

Oceanside City Council has delayed a decision on whether to approve a 73unit, six-story apartment complex in the Oceana community, opting to conduct a deeper review of potential safety and environmental concerns raised by residents.

During a Jan. 22 meeting, the council voted unanimously to postpone a final vote until April 23, allowing staff to further examine the project’s potential impacts. The development, proposed for a 1.74-acre site at 503 Vista Bella, would replace a vacant two-story office building with a residential complex that includes eight very low-income units and four employee-designated units.

The project, which utilizes the state’s density bonus law, allows for increased housing density and regulatory waivers in exchange for affordable housing units. The developer is requesting 16 waivers and two concessions, including reduced setbacks, courtyard requirements, and fewer parking spaces, saving the developer over $1 million in costs.

According to the developer, the cost savings will likely help reduce the project’s rental prices.

The project has sparked opposition from residents, with Ellen Marciel, who lives nearby, filing an appeal challenging the Planning Commission’s approval of

the development in October. “It does not belong here,” Marciel told the council, adding that more than 200 Oceana residents have submitted letters opposing what they call “the tower.”

Marciel’s appeal argues the project would worsen traffic congestion, limit emergency response access due to increased street parking, and impact pedes-

trian safety.

City staff countered these claims, stating that local intersections meet acceptable service levels, a new traffic signal is planned for Vista Rey and El Camino Real, and existing sidewalks provide pedestrian infrastructure. Staff also dismissed concerns about potential slope instability, citing a geotechnical study confirming the site’s bedrock can support the building.

Marciel also suggested the developer should contribute to funding fire evacuation plans, install flashing crosswalk beacons, and establish a $200,000 trust fund to offset potential heat and airflow blockages for neighboring homes. However, city officials said such conditions were not legally enforceable.

While city planners defended the project, Mayor Esther Sanchez voiced concerns about potential safety risks and unanswered questions, arguing the council lacked sufficient information to make an informed

decision.

“This project is bothersome in so many ways,” Sanchez said, adding that the city should not overlook safety concerns despite the state’s density bonus law.

“We don’t have all the information,” she continued. “We truly lack a lot of information—not just for the council, but for the residents who live so close and will have to use the same one or two roads.”

Sanchez also challenged the claim that the project would help address the city’s housing shortage, saying Oceanside needs more workforce housing, not market-rate units.

“We don’t need market-rate units,” Sanchez said. "We’re looking to save workforce housing, we’re looking to build workforce housing. This is not workforce housing."

According to the city’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment, of the 5,443 total units, Oceanside needs 1,268 very low-income homes, 718 low-income, 883 moderate and 2,574 above moderate-income homes.

Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce also sought clarification on whether the project’s geotechnical study accounted for a four- or six-story structure.

City Manager Jonathan Borrego suggested the city may need to hire a consultant for a more in-depth analysis before making a final determination.

The project is set to return to the City Council for further review and discussion on April 23, once staff gathers additional information as requested.

The deal in question, approved earlier this month, allows American Airlines’ regional subsidiary Envoy Air to operate daily flights between Carlsbad and Phoenix starting Feb. 13 using 76seat Embraer 175 regional jets under the American Eagle brand.

During the Jan. 8 meeting, Jamie Abbott, the county’s director of airports, said failure to approve the lease could jeopardize the county’s access to Federal Aviation Administration funding, totaling over $123 million for Palomar Airport since 1999.

“If the board chooses not to approve the lease agreement with American Airlines, it poses a risk of the county losing FAA grant funding for current and future capital projects,” Abbott said.

“I feel like we have a gun to our head, with the FAA saying, ‘Take this deal, or we’re going to take … somewhere between $5 million and $150 million of your money and sue you,’” Lawson-Remer said during Jan. 8 the meeting.

Supervisor Jim Desmond, whose district includes areas under the airport’s flight path, could not be reached for comment. A representative for Lawson-Remer said her office could not comment on pending litigation.

As of the lawsuit’s filing date, neither San Diego County nor American Airlines has publicly responded to the allegations.

Prop A remarks stir controversy

By Walker Armstrong

ENCINITAS — Councilmember Luke Shaffer’s remarks suggesting possible changes to Proposition A during last Wednesday night’s questioning of potential District 4 candidates have fueled mixed reactions from residents and reignited the polarizing debate over the measure’s role in the city’s housing policies.

Prop A, passed by Encinitas voters in 2013, is a voter-approved initiative giving residents direct control over significant land use and zoning decisions. The law mandates that any substantial changes to the city’s General Plan, zoning code or Local Coastal Program that intensify land use must be approved through a public vote.

During the Jan. 22 meeting, Shaffer asked each of the District 4 applicants whether adjustments to Prop A might help the city better navigate state housing mandates and prepare for future housing cycles.

“Prop A, as great as it is, I’m not going to say outgrown itself, but at some level, there are some adjustments that might be needed,” Shaffer said during the meeting. “Are you willing to open it up and see if there are ways to adjust it to the advantage of our city?”

In his questions, however, Shaffer did not elaborate on specific changes to Prop A or what he meant by “open it up.” And while almost everyone who answered Shaffer’s questions responded affirmatively, his comments were met with immediate pushback from his supporters.

In a conversation with The Coast News following the meeting, Shaffer attempted to clarify his comments, emphasizing his commitment to Prop A and his intent to strengthen its role in local governance.

“What I would call an enhanced Prop A isn’t off the table,” Shaffer said. “I want local control, and Prop A is intended to be local control … but it’s worth relooking at to ensure that it lands and is worth its application in a rapidly changing legislative landscape.”

The first-time council member said he is not advocating for a rollback of the initiative but instead aims to ensure it remains a functional tool for Encinitas as state mandates intensify.

A municipal governing body can’t modify a voter-approved initiative from the dais — only a vote of the people can amend existing law. Any attempt to change Prop A must be placed on the ballot by either a citizen’s initiative (via the signature-gathering process)

or a council supermajority (at least four votes).

Over the years, the city has tried multiple times to bypass or overturn Prop A to adopt a compliant housing element, including Measure T in 2016 and Measure U in 2018, both soundly rejected by voters.

In March 2020, the city filed a lawsuit against the California Department of Housing and Community Development seeking to “invalidate, or carve out, a portion of Proposition A,” but a judge denied its request.

The court ruled that legal precedent made clear neither the city’s state-mandated responsibility to adopt and update its housing element nor the state’s regulation of housing law supersedes the “power of initiative or referendum.”

“The city does not have the authority to amend Proposition A’s requirements; only the voters have that authority,” Judge Earl H. Maas III wrote in his 10-page opinion.

During the meeting, former mayor Sheila Cameron was among those who defended Prop A, rejecting the notion of amending the measure and describing it as essential for preserving local control.

“We do not want to work around Prop A — Prop A is perfect,” Cameron said. “What we need to do, and the only way to get around this and make it work, is to increase the amount of low-income housing. We could do 10% — that’s what we’re doing — it’s terrible. Fifteen percent in some cases. We begged for 25% during Measure U.” Cameron, who has advocated for responsible growth and development, also emphasized the importance of promoting homeownership.

“We need to be selling these houses, not just renting,” she said. “Because that’s like having a gerbil in the cage that keeps going around and around.”

Susan Turney, an Encinitas resident and longtime Prop A advocate, expressed skepticism about Shaffer’s approach and underscored the need to address housing challenges through thoughtful planning rather than targeting the voter-backed initiative.

“Prop A should not be the first point of attack in devising legal and workable housing plans,” she said, arguing the focus should instead be on “creating housing plans with higher percentages of affordable units to minimize the total number of units needed to comply with state mandates.”

Local attorney and housing advocate Marco Gonzalez weighed in on the broader challenges facing Encinitas, noting that Prop A’s requirement for voter approval complicates com-

After LA wildfires, O’side talks fire safety

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — Following devastating fires in Los Angeles, Oceanside residents have raised concerns about the city’s ability to handle a similar large-scale disaster in their own backyard, prompting a presentation by the fire and water utilities departments at a Jan. 22 council meeting.

The discussion stemmed from the Palisades and Eaton fires, which ignited on Jan. 7 and burned nearly 40,000 acres across Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Altadena, and Pasadena. The fires destroyed over 5,000 structures, claimed 28 lives and highlighted resource limitations in Los Angeles, including reports of water pressure loss and insufficient fire-fighting resources.

Oceanside Fire Chief Dave Parsons made it clear that no city, including Oceanside, is equipped to manage such a catastrophic event on its own.

“No fire department is designed to take care of an issue like what we saw at the Palisades and Eaton fires,” Parsons said. “If that’s what the community wanted, they couldn’t afford it, frankly. No jurisdiction can afford the water system and fire department resources necessary to stop an urban conflagration."

Parsons said that fighting an urban conflagration — an uncontrollable fire that spreads beyond barriers — requires regional and even national assistance. For instance, the Palisades and Eaton fires would have needed at least 20,000 fire engines, far exceeding the state’s total supply.

“That’s not reasonable, that’s not possible,” Parsons said. “There’s not even that many engines in the state, and you would need them there immediately.”

Aircraft assistance during those fires was also limited due to strong Santa Ana winds, Parsons added.

The fires in Los Angeles sparked questions about water resources, leading California Gov. Gavin Newsom to order an investigation into the Los Angeles

Department of Water and Power after reports of water pressure issues in critical fire zones.

In Oceanside, Water Utilities Director Lindsay Leahy emphasized that no municipal water system is designed to handle the scale of water usage needed for such an event.

“Our water distribution system is appropriately designed and sized for what it’s meant to do,” Leahy said, explaining that it supports drinking, irrigation, and small-scale firefighting efforts but is not built for catastrophic wildfires.

Oceanside has 7,368 city-maintained fire hydrants and 457 additional private hydrants, typically located on HOA or commercial properties, overseen by the fire department.

Leahy said the city’s water system includes 12 reservoirs holding approximately 50 million gallons, with proactive maintenance and a “constant replacement program” for pipes and valves.

Fire safety remains a top concern for residents in areas adjacent to wildlands, including near Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and the Calavera Preserve. Parsons commended Camp Pendleton’s robust fire protection measures, which include routine controlled burns, along the city’s northern border.

Oceanside resident Mike Tenhover recalled the 2022 Wala Fire, which damaged approximately 33 acres of the Wanis View

Preserve near the Oceanside Municipal Airport and Camp Pendleton border. While the fire was quickly controlled, Tenhover said the outcome could have been worse had strong Santa Ana winds been present.

Since then, Tenhover and the fire department have collaborated to improve fire safety in his neighborhood, including updated planting and brush removal.

Parsons stressed the importance of residents taking personal responsibility for fire preparedness by utilizing resources such as the county’s Alert San Diego mobile application and the regional Genasys Protect platform for emergency updates.

The fire chief also highlighted the city’s recent hiring of an emergency management coordinator to assist fire and police departments with large-scale emergencies.

The Oceanside Fire Department, one of the busiest in San Diego County, currently operates eight fire stations, with a ninth station set to open this summer in South Morro Hills. The department is staffed by 48 personnel daily and maintains a fleet that includes eight fire engines, six paramedic ambulances, and three wildland engines.

Parsons emphasized that while Oceanside’s fire department is highly efficient, it remains “resource constrained.”

“There are places we can go, but that’s where we are now,” Parsons said.

— A 32-year-old Escondido man was killed when he was struck by a vehicle while walking in that city, authorities said this week.

The Escondido Police Department received a call at about 6 p.m. on Jan. 25 about a man unconscious in the roadway at Rock Springs and Seven Oaks roads, according to a department statement.

Arriving officers found several motorists who were performing CPR on the man, police said. Paramedics rushed him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. His name was not released pending notification of relatives, police said.

Anyone with information about the crash was asked to call Traffic Investigator Paul Smyth at 760-839-4423.

A 33-year-old man was killed on Jan. 26 in a single-vehicle collision after he crashed into a curb and was ejected from his car in Oceanside.

The crash happened around 2:20 a.m. Sunday when the driver behind the wheel of a 2007 Scion TC traveling southbound on El Camino Real near the intersection of Vista Oceana crashed into the curb, causing the vehicle to overturn, according to the Oceanside Police Department.

The driver died at the scene shortly afterward, police officials said. His name was not immediately available.

The circumstances surrounding the crash were unclear.

No other injuries were immediately reported.

Crews battle Otay Mountain area wildfire

An evacuation order is in effect Jan. 28 for Otay Mountain-area neighborhoods as crews worked to contain the smoldering remnants of a wildfire that scorched about 10 square miles of remote terrain in the far southern reaches of the San Diego area over the last five days. Firefighters had the footprint of the 6,625-acre blaze 55% surrounded Tuesday, according to Cal Fire.

The blaze erupted just west of Doghouse Junction in the Otay Mountain Wilderness Area on Thursday afternoon. The fire’s cause remains under investigation.

Oceanside advances plans for El Corazon Park

Council seeks parkland status for 465-acre site

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— The Oceanside City Council has taken a significant step toward officially dedicating El Corazon Park as parkland while nailing down how the site’s tax revenues from residential and commercial activities will fund its development and maintenance.

The measure to develop a plan designating the site as parkland, introduced by Mayor Esther Sanchez and Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce at a Jan. 22 council meeting, received unanimous approval.

The decision marks a milestone in a decades-long effort to transform the 465acre property, which Silica Sand Mining Company gifted to the city in 1994 after its mining operations ceased.

El Corazon, or “the heart” in Spanish, sits at the center of Oceanside and has been the focus of extensive planning since 1995 when the City Council initiated a long-term use plan.

By 2003, a 15-member El Corazon Planning Committee was established to oversee the development of a conceptual master plan for the site. Sanchez, first elected to the council in 2000, appointed members to the committee, many of whom continue to advocate for the park’s realization.

El Corazon is home to

several facilities, including the SoCal Sports Complex, El Corazon Senior Center, William A. Wagner Aquatic Center, new residential developments, and the recently opened 7,500-seat Frontwave Arena.

The property also hosts a green waste and composting recycling facility.

“We’ve done an amazing job,” said Carolyn Kramer, a member of the original El Corazon committee. “A lot of good things in that park are going to happen.”

Despite significant progress, much of the planned parkland has yet to be physically built. Nearly three years ago, the City Council approved an agreement with Schmidt Design

Pets of the Week

EPPONNEE-RAE

is Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s pet of the week. She is a 10-year-old, 13-pound, female domestic short hair cat with a tortoiseshell coat.

Epponnee-Rae was adopted as a kitten. Ten years later, someone picked her up as a stray and took her back to the shelter where she was adopted.

When they couldn’t reach her owner and nobody came to reclaim her, Epponnee-Rae was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters.

She is a laid-back girl who needs a calm, quiet home.

The $75 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.

For information about adoption or to become a virtual foster, stop by Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza St., Encinitas, call 760-753-6413 or visit SDpets.org.

HARTFORD is the San Diego Humane Society’s pet of the week. She is a 5-year-old, 54-pound American pit bull terrier mix.

Hartford is a sweet dog looking for a patient and gentle family. She can be shy around new people but her affectionate, cuddly personality comes out once she builds trust. She isn’t a fan of new or busy environments, happy to play at home while sticking to the same daily walking routine. She would do well in a home with another social dog for company. She is smart, responds well to positive reinforcement training and has mastered basic commands. Hartford’s adoption fee is $110. She is in a foster home. Fees include spay/ neuter services, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, an incentive for pet insurance and a license for residence in Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, Escondido, Oceanside, Poway, San Diego, San Marcos, Santee, Solana Beach and Vista.

City staff plans to bring an item advancing Park Site 1 to a future council meeting.

“I look forward to making that happen as soon as possible,” Sanchez said.

As for formally dedicating El Corazon as parkland and establishing funding mechanisms, Borrego suggested a General Plan

Oceanside rejects Planning Commission appointment change

A proposal to change how the city’s Planning Commission members are

Currently, planning commissioners are interviewed and appointed by a majority vote of the council. The proposal also included limiting commissioners to two-year terms, though Joyce later suggested extending the limit to four years after hearing concerns from current commissioners.

Joyce and Figueroa argued that the change would ensure better district representation, improve transparency, and increase accountability on a commission that makes critical decisions on development projects across the city.

“It is extremely important that we constitute the Planning Commission in the best possible way it can be,” Joyce said. The proposal failed to gain traction, with the remaining three council members opposing the changes.

“It’s not political, it’s not favoritism, it’s ethical,” Balma said, adding that under the proposed system, council members could appoint friends, colleagues, or political allies, creating potential conflicts of interest.

Both Balma and Rosales pushed back on the original two-year term limit, arguing that commissioners need more time to fully understand the role’s complexities.

“If you understand what the Planning Commission does, it takes a year to get used to what’s going on,” Balma sasid.

San Diego chips in as Genesis host

sports talk

Time to plop down the welcome mat.

The golfers’ presence is as comforting as the empathy we share after Torrey Pines Golf Course was selected to lend a hand.

The Farmers Insurance Open has come and gone, but the door isn’t shut on professional golf in our region. With a heavy heart, the Genesis Invitational will move from the storied Riviera Country Club to the safety of Torrey Pines, Feb. 13-16.

While Riviera survived the fire that ravaged the surrounding Pacific Palisades area, the right call was an easy call. With first responders and shell-shocked residents still sifting through the wreckage, the optics and logistics of Tiger Woods hosting his annual event at Riviera was untenable.

So it’ll be another 72 holes of top-notch golf for the locals to enjoy while funds, and awareness, of those absorbing the haymaker of death and destruction remain in the spotlight. The loss of 29 lives and nearly 15,000 structures stands above any petty differences that often surface when San Diego and Los Angeles square off.

Instead of chanting “Beat L.A.” and giving the side-eye to our northerly neighbors, San Diego County is embracing the event, and its significance, with no second thoughts.

“This is an opportunity for San Diego to come together and do something with our brothers and sisters up in L.A.,’’ Marty Gorish, CEO of the Century Club that operates the Farmers, told the Associated Press. “I really, truly feel like that’s a part of it.

“I think here in San Diego we compete so much with L.A. on the field and consider them a rival, yet we’re all SoCal together.’’

SoCal strong is just that and with a star-studded field playing for the $20 million purse in a designated PGA signature event, the Genesis Invitational hanging its shingle at our seaside track is huge.

Local pickleball club under fire

By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS

— Bobby Riggs Racket and Paddle Club, a well-known hub for pickleball enthusiasts, is at the center of a contentious debate between the club's owner, city officials and neighbors over noise complaints that have led to citations and mandatory operational cutbacks.

For the past six months, the club has faced increasing scrutiny as the City of Encinitas considers amending its conditional use permit, first issued in 1975, to address what officials call a significant change in use.

Its arrival comes on the heels of a ho-hum Farmers won by Harrison English, who was a 100-1 long shot before the event. The Farmers field did little to move the needle, as most of the PGA’s biggest stars aimed for this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am instead of the Farmers, with its lower payouts.

But the Tour’s top players, and possibly Woods, will zero in on the Genesis Invitational, which will transition from being held at one of the world’s most famous private golf clubs to a public course that has few peers among municipal layouts.

Woods certainly knows his way around Torrey Pines. With his lengthy resume of success on the cliffs above the Pacific Ocean, some have joked it should be called “Torrey Woods” or “Tiger Pines.”

After making his mark there in the Junior Worlds Championship in his youth, Woods won eight times as a pro at Torrey Pines and that includes his dramatic comeback to snatch the 2008 U.S. Open from Rocco Mediate in a playoff.

Woods hasn’t tipped his hand yet on his participation. But since he suffered serious leg injuries stemming from a car accident in 2021, the Genesis Invitational is the only non-major Woods has entered.

If Woods is a go, it would mark his first showing at Torrey Pines since he finished tied for ninth in 2020.

Woods, an Orange County native, has perfect vision about the reason to exit Riviera for Torrey Pines.

“The devastation that is ongoing with the L.A. fires is such a tragedy and being from California, it hits home,’’ Woods posted on X. “My heart is with those who have suffered unimaginable loss.’’

San Diego knows.

It has experienced numerous wildfires that in an instant can uproot communities and bring devastation to our slice of heaven. We were basically spared during the recent wind event, but that’s no guarantee for the future.

So for one year at Torrey Pines, we’ll embrace this L.A. tradition and pitch in where we can. Golf is the focus, but this event is about much more.

Contact Jay Paris at jparis8@aol.com and follow him @jparis_sports.

The facility, originally home to seven tennis courts, now operates 22 pickleball courts, drawing large crowds and persistent noise complaints from neighbors.

Club owner Steve Dawson, a professional pickleball player, said the issue came to his attention when he began receiving official citations from the city.

"The day I received my first official complaint, I started working on a sound-dampening pickleball paddle that would solve all the issues," Dawson said. "It just didn’t get made in time."

Dawson acknowledged the tension between the club and some neighbors, describing the relationship as strained since the sport's meteoric rise in popularity has resulted in increased pickleball activity at the facility.

While some may prefer the club’s closure, Dawson warned that such an outcome could bring even greater community disruption.

“If the club gets closed down, chances are the property will be turned into

housing, and then they’ll all lose their ocean views and have to put up with construction for five years,” Dawson said.

To address the complaints, Dawson has mandated using quieter paddles on 18 courts near private residences and ordered 96 "quiet" paddles to be distributed to players.

He is also exploring more permanent solutions, such as sound barriers.

“The sound barriers will be 10- to 13-foot-high Plexiglas panels with acoustical ratings, designed and approved by acoustics engineers,” Dawson said, who plans to present quotes for the barriers to the city within the next month.

Despite these efforts, Dawson expressed frustration with the city’s recent decision to restrict court usage from 22 courts to just seven.

“I’m stuck in a catch-22," Dawson said. "How can I spend $200,000 on sound walls if they shut

“Although

me down?”

Mayor Bruce Ehlers confirmed the city’s involvement in reviewing the club’s permit and addressing noise concerns.

“The facility’s conditional use permit, initially issued in 1975 under county jurisdiction, is under review due to changes in use,” Ehlers said. “We have to do what’s right by our ordinances. We must do right by the protections and due process afforded the neighbors.”

Ehlers, who has a background in noise engineering, said city ordinances require noise levels to remain below 50 decibels over a one-hour period. Over the last six months, the city has fined the club for excessive noise following multiple complaints, and court availability has been restricted to roughly 25% of its capacity.

“Everybody recognizes what a great asset pickleball is,” he said. “But we have to follow our laws.”

While Dawson is com-

mitted to addressing the issues, pickleball players have urged city leaders to find a solution, emphasizing the club’s importance to the community.

Supporters of the facility have also started the Save Bobby Riggs Grassroots Committee to help the club resume operations at full capacity. Some have even offered to help pay for improvements, Dawson said.

“A lot of my patrons have said they’d like to participate in a capital fundraising project,” Dawson said. “I’ve been a good steward of the money that’s come in, so I’ve budgeted for such projects.”

Ultimately, Dawson hopes to find a solution that will work for everyone, balancing the club's interests with those of the city and its neighbors.

“I want the neighbors to love the club, I don’t want to be put out of business," Dawson said. "And I want the city to come out of this looking golden as well."

Wildlife education takes flight at San Elijo Lagoon

By Leo Place

ENCINITAS — North County families are getting the chance to explore the diverse wildlife at the San Elijo Lagoon in Encinitas via educational events and family-focused programs focused on connecting more people to nature.

On Saturday, dozens of people could be found at San Elijo Lagoon participating in school-based programs and the annual Wings Over Wetlands festival, which offers educational activities to introduce the public to the lagoon’s local birds.

Wings Over Wetlands is one of several annual festivals by Nature Collective (formerly San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy) at the lagoon, focusing on education, exploration and conservation.

“We try to make them hands-on, very accessible, and all about curiosity and discovery,” Kristin Evans, education and outreach senior director for Nature Collective, said of the festivals.

At different stations along the trail, attendees of all ages could observe wildlife through binoculars and learn about how various species catch food. At the Nature Center, San Diego County park rangers held a Hawk Talk featuring live predators, including a red-tailed hawk and great horned owl.

On the same day, dozens of Escondido Union Elementary School District students and parents visited the lagoon as part of the Get Out

In Nature (GOIN) program, which connects families with free, nature-based experiences at local parks, lagoons and beaches.

GOIN is funded by the California State Coastal Conservancy’s Explore the Coast grant, and participation and transportation are free for families in third through fifth grade at Orange Glen, Glen View, Rose, and Pioneer elementary schools in Escondido.

During the outing on Saturday, Nature Collective staff and volunteers led students, their families and district staff on a nature walk. The group stopped occasionally to observe Torrey pine needles, feathers fallen to the

ground, and even an owl pellet and record observations in their nature journal.

Evans said GOIN connects many families to the

outdoors who may not otherwise have the chance. Translation also allows Spanish-speaking families to be included.

“That’s one of the goals; to get families out, to feel safe and comfortable in a nature space,” Evans said.

“While we fund the majority

of the programs, the [Escondido Union] district funds the staff costs on their end, so they give as much as we do.”

The San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve is home to over 250 species of water and shore birds that make their home in the marsh wetland environment, including great blue herons, cormorants, snowy egrets, and endangered and threatened species such as the Ridgeway’s rail and Belding’s savannah sparrow.

The lagoon features over nine miles of trails. The Nature Center is located at 2710 Manchester Avenue and open from sunrise to sunset. For more information, visit naturecollective.org.

Taking advantage of Scottsdale’s good nature

Ihit the road

love serendipity, like this unexpected encounter with Maggie, a great horned owl surveying the elegant lobby of the Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort in Scottsdale, Ariz. She is perched on the gloved hand of Joe Miller, her head swiveling back and forth, her saucer-eyes bright.

Maggie is one of a half-dozen birds that regularly visit the resort with Miller, each with an assignment to: entertain guests; educate visitors on the importance of wildlife preservation; or keep smaller, peskier birds from dive-bombing the buffet table on the hotel patio.

These featured feathered friends come by way of Liberty Wildlife, a nonprofit organization that rehabilitates wounded animals.

“If they heal, we can return them to the wild,” says Miller, also known as Eagle Joe for his skilled work with the majestic birds of prey. If the birds don’t heal, “they are non-releasable and Liberty Wildlife cares for them.”

Miller encourages us to stroke Maggie’s amazingly soft feathers; she is com-

giant saguaro that might be 200 years old.”

If desert flora fascinates, an eye-popping collection can be seen at nearby Desert Botanical Garden. Its 140 acres support 50,000 gloriously robust cactuses and succulents. Getting lost on the garden’s five thematic trails is worth it, and your photos will make you look like a pro.

To see how architecture coexists harmoniously with Sonoran Desert landscape, visit Taliesin West, the serene home, studio and school built by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959).

The renowned architect spent winters here creating and teaching. He and his students constructed much of the retreat, which affords a sweeping view of the valley, from desert materials. When it’s time to eat in Scottsdale:

pletely unfazed. Because she suffered severe head and ear canal wounds, she’ll never be reintroduced into the wild.

Miller is integral to the Grand Hyatt’s history. He worked as a pipe-fitter during its construction, then was hired as the water-features manager when the property opened in 1986. Throughout his employment for the next 28 years, he also volunteered with Liberty Wildlife (wife Jan is director of medical services) and brought in birds to entertain children at the hotel’s camp.

Now, as Grand Hyatt’s wildlife director, Miller shares the birds with all guests daily and holds presentations on Fridays that feature owls, falcons, hawks and an eagle.

“(The birds) are now ambassadors for their kind,” Miller says. “For many guests, it’s the first time they’ve seen a bird like that up close. We’ve received thank-you letters from guests.”

Some of the current guests are second-generation.

“The children as adults

are returning to the hotel,” he says. “In the spring, when the hotel is loaded up, there are more than 200 people in the courtyard (for the bird show). That’s what you want out of a vacation.”

Animals were a prominent theme during our first day in Scottsdale. We encountered thousands of multi-colored butterflies at Butterfly Wonderland, and some of the 30,000 marine animals at OdySea, the Southwest’s largest aquarium.

The attractions are two of eight featured at Arizona

Animal Antics

A Starbucks employee in Mobile, Alabama, had to have stitches and rabies vaccinations on Jan. 10 after a pet Aotus monkey jumped out of a car at the drive-thru window and into the restaurant, according to Lagniappe.

The monkey ran up the employee’s arm to her head and started biting her until a co-worker grabbed it and threw it back out of the window.

Mobile Police Department public information officer Blake Brown said the monkey’s owner, Tammy Elaine Gardner, drove away from the restaurant before police arrived. The wounded employee said Gardner, who had another monkey in the car, later returned to the restaurant to check on her but wouldn’t give her name.

“The owner of the animal could face charges,” Brown said. The Starbucks location has banned Gardner and her monkeys from the drive-thru. “She’s welcome to come inside if she leaves them in the car,” the employee said. [Lagniappe, 1/17/2025]

Wait, What?

Jose Israel Teran Jr., 21, was taken into custody on Jan. 19 in connection with a road rage incident in San

Antonio, KSAT-TV reported.

In that confrontation, Teran allegedly shot a man in a semitruck while driving north on I-35. But it was Teran’s earlier criminal activity, on Dec. 30, that really had law enforcement’s attention.

He was accidentally added to a family group text string that day, in which members were discussing a 9-month-old baby’s upcoming baptism. Teran replied to the text, “That’s a nice Caucasian baby how much you want?” He went on to ask, “Are you not interested in selling? I’m willing to start the bid at 500k.”

The baby’s father called Teran, who explained that he purchases babies for their organs and could pay in cash or bitcoin. Teran told police he thought the group thread was spam, but he was charged with the purchase and sale of human organs.

Questionable Judgment

A housekeeping crew on a P&O Cruises Australia ship took passengers by surprise in December when they paraded by the ship’s swimming pool wearing their allwhite uniforms with pointy white hoods, News.com reported on Jan. 22.

The eight crew were dressed as upside-down snow cones, but passengers were horrified and were quick to document the incident on social media.“We were like, ‘Are we seeing this correctly,’ it was so bizarre,” said one cruiser from Melbourne.

Lynne Scrivens, communications director for the cruise line, said the housekeeping crew are from all over the world and had never heard of the Ku Klux Klan.

“They are limited with what resources they have on ships,” she said, explaining that they make do with what they can find for costumes. P&O Cruises Australia issued an apology following the event: “The crew members were horrified.” [News. com, 1/22/2025]

Exploring the joy of dumplings in North County

lick the plate

david boylan

Iwas recently reminded of how much I love dumplings when visiting the Board & Brew in Encinitas Village Center.

While grabbing lunch, I noticed a newish Chinese dumpling restaurant next door, The Dumpling Bar, a glorious revelation and another place to stop in on my frequent visits to Trader Joe’s.

(More on The Dumpling Bar in a bit. First, a backstory on how my dumpling love began.)

First, though, I had to research the differences between dumplings and pot stickers. There are so many variations of each that it’s hard to pinpoint every difference.

The primary distinction is in their cooking methods, where potstickers are steamed or boiled after being pan-fried, while dumplings are steamed or boiled, though in some cases, they are fried.

In my experience, pot stickers also have a denser dough with a tighter roll, whereas dumplings are fluffy and fabulous…and tend to be moister, so I lean towards dumplings.

And let’s not forget soup dumplings, which are a pleasure in their own right. Some could confuse them with bao buns, as both are stuffed with savory fillings and folded similarly.

The primary difference is that bao utilizes yeast-leavened dough, whereas soup dumplings call for unleavened dough – used in regular dumpling dough. The warm broth in soup dumplings provides a different level of dumpling pleasure and is worth adding to the mix occasionally.

My first real experi-

complete the procedure.

“It was a strange feeling to touch and suture my own urethra,” he wrote. He reassured followers that the surgery was performed outside of work hours and under the supervision of a urologist, and while he experienced some discomfort following the vasectomy, he felt fine the next day. [Oddity Central, 1/17/2025]

Awwww!

A sunfish at the Kaikyokan Aquarium in Shimonoseki, Japan, has a new lease on life — or at least, new “friends” to share it with.

The New York Post reported that the sunfish, who is the sole occupant of its tank, became depressed and stopped eating after the

ence with serious dumplings was at the Dumpling Inn & Shanghai Saloon on Convoy Street in San Diego.

While I can hardly claim to be an expert on the topic, there is something magical about their dumplings. And it does not hurt that the place is always packed, and the dumplings are flying out of the kitchen in high volumes.

My favorite way to experience Dumpling Inn is to get there early for one of their fabulous cocktails at the Shanghai Saloon bar within the restaurant and work up that appetite a little more.

It’s a regular meeting spot for me and fellow eater and dumpling lover Captain Mark Mihelich from Boundless Boat Charters after a day on the water.

Our go-to is usually two orders of dumplings, Boiled Pork and Boiled Fish and Chive, along with a half portion of the Braised Duck in Chef’s Chinese Spices…and trust me, the dumplings and half portion of duck is per-

aquarium closed for renovations in December.

“One of the staff members said, ‘Maybe it’s lonely because it misses the visitors,’” said an aquarium worker. “We attached uniforms of the staff members to the tank with a little bit of hope. Then, the next day, it was in good health again!”

Workers say the sunfish tracks the uniforms and face cutouts with its eyes as it swims by, and those still in the building wave to it every time they pass the tank.

Frequent Flyer

Mittens the cat gets around, to wit: On Jan. 13, the 8-year-old Maine coon was booked on a oneway flight from Christchurch, New Zealand, to Melbourne, Australia, Sky News reported.

fect for two men-of-the-sea type appetites.

I must add that Dumpling Inn is one of those rare restaurants where I would be happy with everything on the menu. More standouts include Sauteed Lamb with Chinese Greens in Satay Sauce, Kung Pao Seafood with shrimp, fish and calamari, and Spicy Pork with Eggplant in Garlic Sauce.

Lunch specials include Braised Duck Noodle Soup, Wonton Noodle Soup and Crispy Chicken Noodle soup, all three a great value of around $15. A nice way to enjoy the Dumpling Inn is to book a spa treatment at one of the many surrounding restaurants in the afternoon and head over for culinary pleasure afterward.

Back to the new local option, The Dumpling Bar, a traditional Chinese dumpling restaurant in Encinitas Village. The eatery opened last September at 119 N El Camino Real Ste E and offers house-made dumplings, soups, salads, vegan dessert buns, and boba milk tea.

But in Melbourne, Mittens was never unloaded from the baggage compartment. Instead, three hours later, the airline revealed that Mittens had flown back to New Zealand — about 7.5 hours in the air. Owner Margo Neas was told a wheelchair in the cargo area had obscured Mittens’ cage from the baggage handler’s view.

“It was not a great start to our new life in Melbourne because we didn’t have the family, we weren’t complete,” said Neas. After arriving back in Christchurch, Mittens was loaded onto another flight to Melbourne, where she was reunited with her family.

She “ran into my arms and just snuggled up in here,” Neas said. “It was just such a relief.” [Sky News, 1/22/2025]

I’ve done a few carry-out runs there lately and was impressed by the dumpling quality, the generous portion of S&S Baby Ribs, and the Crispy Fried Pork Chop. They have an open kitchen concept, and it’s fun watching their team making their fresh dumplings and pot stickers. Every time I’ve driven by, the place is bustling, which is always a good sign. There are other places in the North County area to enjoy dumplings, and with the help of some locals who know about the topic, I compiled a short list of places to try. I would welcome any feedback on the subject, as I’m sure we missed some:

Joyee’s Dumpling House is at 10550 Craftsman

Way Ste 185 in San Diego (4s Ranch) and 1711 University Drive Ste #150 in Vista.

Ten Gu Ramen at 2183 Vista Way Ste B2 in Oceanside is known for its ramen but also has a nice selection of dumplings.

On a loosely related top-

ic, I’ve always found Trader Joe’s to have a great selection of frozen potstickers, dumplings, fried rice, and other dim sum staples. They are great to keep in the freezer and perfect to add to stir-fry, combine with steamed veggies, or as a side or a main course. My favorite combination is to fry/steam some pork pot stickers and add them to their Veggie Fried rice, fried eggs, and fresh broccoli that I cook in the fried rice. Add the pot stickers towards the end so they do not fall apart. It works in a pinch and is delightful as a leftover as well.

That’s my take on dumplings, and after writing this, I must say I’d have to put them in my top 10 culinary pleasures.

The Dumpling Bar is located at 119 N El Camino Real Ste E, Encinitas.

County gas prices rise slightly

By City News Service

REGION — The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County rose two-tenths of a cent on Wednesday to $4.532, one day after increasing sixtenths of a cent.

The back-to-back increases follow a decrease of 2 cents over the previous six days, including a half-cent Monday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.

The average price is two-tenths of a cents less than one week ago and 5.4

cents lower than one year ago but 4.9 cents more than one month ago. It has dropped $1.903 since rising to a record $6.435 on Oct. 5, 2022.. A five-day streak of decreases to the national average price totaling 1.5 cents ended when it was unchanged, remaining at $3.12. The streak followed a run of nine increases in 10 days totaling 7 cents.

The national average price is nine-tenths of a cent less than one week ago but 9.5 cents more than one month ago.

Breaking the Silence: Exploring loneliness, isolation, connection

Loneliness and isolation can impact anyone, but they’re especially common as we age.

Join us for a meaningful discussion, “Breaking the Silence: Exploring Loneliness, Isolation, and Connection,” to uncover solutions and rediscover the power of human and animal connection.

Our expert panel includes:

• Geropsychologist — sharing insights on the mental and physical effects of loneliness.

their decisions and was not permitted to discuss factors such as impacts on students and transportation.

Bojorquez said that at the time, district leadership assured committee members that other committees would handle these topics. While he assumed these would be formal committees that would give recommendations to the board, this did not occur.

When asked about this by The Coast News, Loescher said, “Other groups, teams and/or committees did look at items such as transportation, school boundaries and magnet schools.”

While the district may have fulfilled state requirements for school consolidation by forming the committee, Bojorquez said the process left much to be desired.

“Doing the bare minimum isn’t something to be proud of,” Bojorquez said. “We’re afraid if people don’t speak out now, they’re just going to repeat the process again.”

lighted his qualifications, including his role as an elected director of the Olivenhain Municipal Water District in 2022, where he received 71% of the vote in his district.

“What we do in this life is for the benefit of [our children],” he said. “I want Encinitas to be secure and safe so that you and your children, and mine, can grow up feeling the same way I did, walking, biking, and spending time within its city limits.”

Ehlers, who initially motioned to appoint Martin, and other council members emphasized the importance of selecting an appointee who could serve effectively in the two-year role.

“This is probably one of the most important decisions we will make all year,” Ehlers said, who vacated the District 4 seat when he assumed the role of mayor in December.

Rather than holding a special election, estimated to cost between $275,000 and $450,000 and likely being held sometime in August, the council opted for the cheaper and more expedient appointment process to fill the seat.

The appointment process drew significant public interest, with eight eligible applicants vying for the position. During the meeting, candidates were given three

strength through community support and meaningful connections.

• Representative from the Village Encinitas — talking about local community programs that help older adults stay connected and support one another.

• Representative from Frosted Faces Foundation (Senior Dogs/Cats for Seniors) — highlighting the unique bond between seniors and rescue animals, and how these companions provide comfort, reduce isolation, and bring joy.

In this engaging event, we’ll explore:

• The emotional and

minutes to present their qualifications and vision for the district before answering questions from the council.

In addition to San Antonio, the applicants were:

• Lefkowits, who emphasized his work on the Urban Forest Advisory Committee and his ties to the local school community.

• Martin, a resident of New Encinitas, cited her leadership in Proposition A efforts.

• Michael Quinn, a substitute teacher and city Parks & Recreation commissioner, discussed his 30 years of experience in the natural foods business.

• Paul Templin, an engineer and former Peace Corps volunteer, underscored his work in cybersecurity for Toyota and ViaSat.

• Julie Graboi, an Olivenhain resident and MiraCosta College instructor, highlighted her extensive involvement in Proposition A and the city’s General Plan update.

• Eli Stern, a retired financial industry employee, shared his service on the city’s Senior Citizen Commission and Affordable Housing Task Force.

• Farhad Mahmoudi, a New Encinitas resident in the legal technology industry, presented himself as a candidate not interested in running for the seat in 2026.

former member of the city’s Public Health and Safety Commission, alleged San Antonio, a volunteer reserve firefighter with the Orange County Fire Authority, intentionally misrepresented himself on his application as a “firefighter engineer.”

“Nonetheless, what concerns me is that Marco deliberately altered his resume to present himself as a firefighter engineer, as opposed to what he was: a reserve firefighter,” Shook said during the meeting.

Lyndes also took issue with the apparent discrepancy over San Antonio’s role as a firefighter.

“I just will emphasize again, it’s what you write on your resume and what you don’t write on your resume … I would expect it to have been accurate to what his actual position was,” Lyndes said.

Supporters, however, praised his dedication to public service and willingness to step into the volunteer role with minimal financial compensation.

“You are giving enough by volunteering to go into burning buildings — that is service above self in its best way,” Ehlers said. “That doesn’t take away one bit. In fact, in my opinion … it actually helped me [make my decision].”

San Antonio will officially be sworn into his new role within the next few days, with a ceremonial swearing-in planned for the next City Council meeting.

Senator targets loophole

By City New Service

ENCINITAS — State Sen. Catherine Blakespear (D-Encinitas) introduced legislation on Jan. 22 to amend the state’s density bonus law to prevent developers from using the law to bypass local restrictions without providing substantial residential housing.

Senate Bill 92 would prohibit luxury hotels or other mixed-use projects with minimal housing from qualifying for bonuses under the law.

The proposed legislation requires developers to dedicate at least two-thirds of their projects’ floor space to residential housing to be eligible for exemptions from local development restrictions.

“The idea behind the density bonus law is to add meaningful housing throughout California, not as an afterthought to luxury hotel developments,” Blakespear said.

The proposal comes after controversy surrounding a mixed-use project in San Diego’s Pacific Beach neighborhood. The 22-story development at 970 Turquoise Street exceeds the area’s three-story height limit and primarily consists of luxury hotel rooms. The “Turquoise tower” includes just 10 affordable units, raising concerns that the project subverts the law’s intent.

pliance with state housing mandates.

“If you’ve got to put a housing element update to a Prop A vote, it'll never pass, and then we'll get sued, and we’ll be back in the situation where the courts have to tell us to override it,” Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez added that while Prop A serves an important purpose, it may need amendments to align with state requirements and avoid litigation.

“I think [Prop A] is fine for a lot of types of development,” Gonzalez said. “But at the planning level, where you’re required to bring your zoning code or your General Plan or your Local Coastal Program into compliance with state law, it doesn’t make sense to allow the electorate to refuse their obligations, which is what we’ve seen happen.”

Responding to the various critiques, Shaffer reaffirmed his support for Prop A while reiterating the need for flexibility.

“My commitment to local control hasn’t wavered,” Shaffer said. “If we say we want local control, then let’s make sure it’s local control and not some tool that we fell in love with … I want the whole toolkit to be available, not just that one tool.”

‘Radioactive Russian Roulette’ at San Onofre

In light of the on-going California fires let’s ensure better radiation monitoring, reduced public health risk and safe evacuation for our coastal community. The Samuel Lawrence Foundation feels it’s important to share a crucial report released by Public Watchdogs, which illustrates how Southern California Edison (SCE/Edison) and federal nuclear safety regulators play "radioactive Russian roulette" with public health and safety at SONGS, the now shuttered San Onofre nuclear power plant. Some 3.6 million pounds of radioactive waste sits 100’ from the beach in thin metal canisters at this site.

The report, titled "Radiological Regulatory Failure," details how the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) granted SCE sweeping exemptions from emergency planning and safety requirements, despite objections from California’s state officials. https://publicwatchdogs.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/ Radiological_Regulatory_ Failure_Final-5-16-17.pdf

Key findings include:

• There is no emergency planning for the 10-mile radiation zone around San Onofre.

• SCE is not obligated to maintain evacuation plans or notify the public promptly of a radiation release.

• Only three workers per shift will monitor and secure the site's 3.6 million pounds of deadly nuclear waste.

• The NRC reclassified San Onofre to have the same security requirements as a "medical research facility".

• Edison is exempt from working with local authorities on terrorist attack scenarios.

• Allowed Edison offi-

cials to remain anonymous in emergency situations and exempted Edison from providing organizational charts showing chain of command and identity of responsible executives during a nuclear emergency at SONGS

Charles Langley, executive director of Public Watchdogs, called the exemptions "recklessly permissive" and warned they set a dangerous precedent for decommissioning nuclear plants nationwide.

"The NRC has inter-

preted silence in the law as permission to grant Edison a 'get out of jail free' card if disaster strikes," Langley said. "But silence isn't golden here - it's deadly."

The California Energy Commission strongly objected to the exemptions, and argued they would "unreasonably diminish" public safety safeguards. However, the NRC approved them anyway just two weeks later.

Critics say the exemptions leave the region dangerously unprepared for po-

tential accidents or attacks at the beachfront nuclear waste dump. SCE maintains the site poses minimal risk now that it's no longer operational.

"The exemptions granted to Southern California Edison are deeply concerning and put millions of lives at risk," said Bart Ziegler, President of the Samuel Lawrence Foundation.

"With 3.6 million pounds of radioactive waste sitting in dangerously vulnerable conditions at San Onofre Beach, we need more robust safety measures, better monitoring and containment measures for leaks.

The NRC's decision to drastically reduce emergency planning and security requirements is alarming, as it puts the health and of 9 million people living within 50 miles of San Onofre in peril were a natural or human disaster to occur. As one nuclear physicist cited in the report warned, an incident at San Onofre could potentially be "40 times worse than Chernobyl".

Now is the time to take action to avoid the Government failures of the LA fires. It’s time to put our Federal, State and Local government leaders on notice we expect action.

Tree doctor wins award two years in a row

For over 40 years, Russell Bowman has been delighting residents of San Diego County with his plant and tree expertise.

So, it’s no wonder Bowman Plant & Tree Care Specialists have been named the San Diego Union-Tribune Community Press’ “Best of North County” voters’ poll for tree and plant care for a 2nd year in a row!

He is lovingly referred to as the San Diego “tree doctor extraordinaire” by his clients, Bowman is known for transforming sickly trees and gardens into Disneyesque wonderlands.

Using his own proprietary blend of organic biological nutrition, Bowman uses techniques he picked up during his time as a horticulturist at Disneyland.

“When you feed plants, you need to ensure they have enough time to absorb the nutrition, before it is degraded by the sun’s rays,” he said.

He’s done more than just care for sick plants and trees, he’s revolutionized both residential and commercial properties by the use of his organic fertilizer tanks that inject his proprietary formula through your irrigation systems.

He fills these magical fertigation tanks monthly to keep your property looking healthy and vibrant all year long.

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

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.”

true for plants and trees.”

Bowman feeds complete “nutrition delivery biology” derived from earthworm castings to replenish the missing healthy soil biology.

This works with a client’s current irrigation system so that each time the landscaping is watered, the needed soil biology is replenished.

“This is the secret to keeping your property looking like a five-star resort.”

Russell is quick to point out that healthy plants and trees are also environmentally friendly. A healthy plant will be more efficient at photosynthesizing sunlight into

oxygen and the healthy soil/ compost helps bring down uses far less water.

He donates his time and expertise for the trees for the Point Loma Association and gardens at the Rock Church
