O’side readies shelter

City’s new 50-bed Navigation Center accepting referrals

By City News Service

OCEANSIDE — A yearround 50-bed homeless shelter is poised to officially open in Oceanside in the coming weeks following a ribbon-cutting on Friday, offering a variety of support services and case management, officials announced this week.

The Oceanside Navigation Center is intended to transition “individuals into a stable and healthy permanent living situation.”

Toddler kills 1-year-old sister in shooting accident

From staff and wire reports REGION — A 1-yearold girl was accidentally shot and killed by her 3-year-old sibling on July 17 in Fallbrook.

According to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, deputies responded to the 1100 block of South Stagecoach Lane near Hidden Walk Lane at around 7:30 a.m. about a report regarding an accidental shooting.

A preliminary investigation led deputies to discover that a 3-year-old got ahold of an unsecured handgun

and accidentally shot their 1-year-old sister in the head.

According to the sheriff’s department, paramedics arrived at the location to transport the 1-year-old to Palomar Hospital. The girl was pronounced dead at around 8:30 a.m. despite life-saving efforts.

Law enforcement told The Coast News both parents were home at the time of the inciden, but no arrests have been made.

“The sheriff’s department extends our sympa-

“Our goal is not just to provide a bed for the night, but to provide our residents with the tools and resources they need to break the cycle of homelessness,'' Mayor Esther Sanchez said. “By providing a range of services under one roof, we can make a real difference in the lives of Oceansiders who are struggling.”

The city purchased the property — a former school located at 3131 Oceanside Blvd. — and has invested in major renovations and upgrades, including new windows, HVAC system and roof, as well as a fire sprinkler system, sewer lines, showers, kitchen, furniture, computers, landscaping and ADA improvements. The project was partially funded by a grant of $3.3 million from the county and $2.25 million in federal funding secured by Rep. Mike Levin, D-Dana Point.

Solana Beach considers easing ADU regulations

Officials explore changes to help facilitate building

By Laura Place

In the face of an ever-growing state housing need, Solana Beach leaders are planning updates to accessory dwelling unit regulations to better facilitate the construction of these structures throughout the city.

Proposed changes include aligning local guidelines with state regulations, implementing a permit-ready program with pre-approved unit designs, allowing construction in environmentally sensitive areas and increasing grading limits.

Creating accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, is one of many strategies the city relies on to meet housing production goals identified in their Housing Element. Of the 90 ADU permit applications received since the beginning of 2020, 18 have been approved, 35 are still under review and 24 have resulted in constructed units, per city data through the end of June.

Solana Beach Community Development Director Joseph Lim said these numbers put the city well on its way toward meeting its goals, but a handful of folks have been unable to apply for permits due to the current limitations.

“I think with some of the ordinance changes, we’ll see more ADUs applications coming in,” Lim said.

At its July 12 meeting, the Solana Beach City Council supported the idea of less restrictive ADU regulations and specified what changes to the ordinance should be made. The goal is

to make adjustments before the end of the year.

“I think we’re all clamoring for housing, and these ADUs seem to be what works in our community,” said City Councilmember

The proposed permit-ready program would mimic those adopted in neighboring cities like Encinitas, offering a series of pre-approved plans for units of different sizes and styles designed by an architect.

City staff said most ADU applicants currently wait two to five months for the city to approve a permit; however, the permit-ready program could reduce this wait time “quite significantly” with its already-completed site and floor plans and other necessary elements.

“This program would assist owners in creating ADUs by expediting the review process and reducing pre-construction costs and plan preparation time,” Lim said.

With the support of the council, city staff will now

Woman arrested in suspected arson at parents’ home

By City News Service

ENCINITAS — A 42-year-old woman who is the subject of a restraining order and suspected of setting her parents' home in Encinitas on fire was arrested July 12.

Deputies from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department North Coastal Station were called at 2:45

p.m. to a home in the 1400 block of Via Terrassa, near El Camino Real, regarding someone seeing smoke coming from the home and upon their arrival the deputies and firefighters put the fire out, said Sgt. Anthony Portillo of the Sheriff's Bomb/ Arson Unit.

There was no one home and the deputies and fire-

fighters thought the fire seemed suspicious. They then contacted detectives from the Sheriff's Bomb/ Arson Unit, Portillo said. Detectives determined the cause of the fire to be arson and discovered the victims and their daughter, Stacey Eaton, had argued earlier that day.

Eaton was arrested

begin the process of finding architects interested in participating in the program via a request for proposals or RFP. Architects would refer to the styles of the city’s existing buildings to create ADU designs for council approval.

Council members said they would also support recommended changes to grading rules, increasing the maximum grading limit from 50 to 100 cubic yards and exempting the excavation immediately below the habitable area.

Council members also showed initial support for allowing ADUs in currently restricted environmentally sensitive habitat areas.

These include bluff top sites like coastal and inland bluffs and canyon rim properties, as well as fire hazard areas and the hillside overlay zone.

Residents say the city’s current blanket restrictions on ADUs in these areas have prohibited potential applicants from being able to build.

“I understand having reasonable restrictions, but I feel like the prohibition is just unreasonable,” said Mark Mariani, whose residence falls in the hillside overlay zone. “I’m encouraging you guys to, pretty please, take this into consideration and help us in these lots.”

Andy Crocker, an architect in Solana Beach, said aligning the city’s regulations with state guidelines and allowing construction in the environmentally sensitive zones would help tremendously.

“I’ve had a lot of clients wanting to do ADUs for

several hours later after she was found hiding a couple of blocks from the home. She was booked at the Vista Detention Facility on charges of arson to an inhabited dwelling, elder abuse and a violation of a restraining order.

Portillo said the home suffered moderate smoke damage and the flames were confined to one room.

State’s movie tax credit really works

If there’s one tax break

California lawmakers have granted that really works, it’s probably the film tax credit that was extended another five years the other day with a signature from Gov. Gavin Newsom.

While a lot of the talk about a massive population exodus from this state is exaggerated hyperbole (California having lost less than 2% of its populace to out-migration over the last decade), there was nothing fictional about what was happening in entertainment, the state’s third largest industry.

Promise, perils of AI

By George Galdorisi

The headline on the first page of the New York Times Sunday Opinion page in early July could not have been more stark or more menacing: “The True Threat of Artificial Intelligence: Technology Forged by Private Markets Won’t Solve the World’s Problems. It Will Only Amplify Them.”

If that statement doesn’t get your attention, it’s likely that nothing will.

It would be difficult to identify a technology that has been talked and written about more than those under the umbrella of artificial intelligence or AI.

The term AI is generally used to include big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning, a trifecta of technologies that impact our lives today and promise to have an even more profound effect in the future.

Sadly there is vastly more heat than light when AI technologies are discussed in the media.

The article mentioned above is a prime example. It notes, for example: “More than 350 technology executives, researchers and academics signed a statement warning of the existential dangers of artificial intelligence. They said that mitigating the risk of extinction from A.I. should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.”

I suspect that we all agree that the phrase “risk of extinction” is pretty strong stuff.

Another article entitled: “Robot Overlords? Maybe Not,” quoted Alex Garland, director of the movie “Ex Machina,” who talked about artificial intelligence and quoted several tech industry leaders.

The theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking told us that “the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.”

Elon Musk, the chief executive of Tesla, told us that A.I. was “potentially more dangerous than nukes.”

Steve Wozniak, a co-founder of Apple, told us that “computers are going to take over from humans” and that “the future is scary and very bad for people.”

More strong stuff. More recently, the advent of AI-powered technologies such as ChatGPT, Bard and Bing have sent concerns about AI into overdrive.

Is it any wonder that the general public has become skeptical — or even fearful — of AI and why many are calling for a complete halt to AI development?

We (my fellow Coronado colleague Sam J. Tangredi) think that these fears are overwrought. We base this opinion on years of research that has been manifested in many articles in professional journals, numerous papers presented at professional conferences, and in two books, “AI at War: How Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Are Changing Naval Warfare” and the forthcoming, “Algorithms of Armageddon: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence On Future Wars” (both by the U.S. Naval Institute Press).

There is a saying attributed to H. L. Mencken: “For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong.”

In spite of this caution, it is rather straightforward to get to the bottom of fears about AI and suggest that there is a simple way to unpack concerns about artificial intelligence if we recognize the fact that the term AI is far too broad and encompasses too much.

Current AI systems, often referred to as “narrow AI” or sometimes “weak AI” are ones that exist today. These algorithms suggest pithy responses to an email, finish your sentence in an email, provide buying suggestions on various websites, defeat champions at chess or on game shows or many other tasks that happen in our daily lives often without our awareness.

Many technology advocates — and increasingly the general public — believe

that narrow AI can and will evolve into “artificial general intelligence” (AGI).

As the New York Times article points out: “AGI doesn’t exist yet, but some fear it could. However, that would mean that technologists will build systems that are generally smarter than humans.”

And therein lies the rub. The hype has outstripped reality. We would have to convince ourselves that humans will have the means (at present, highly doubtful) and the desire (again, why would they do that?) to create machines that will trump our human abilities, take over the world and end humanity because we humans are no longer necessary.

These dystopian scenarios are the stuff of science fiction, but for some reason, many take the leap that if computers can beat professional players in Texas Hold ’Em Power, they will somehow decide become too powerful to control.

While there is a popular term, “Never say never,” that is where our money is: We humans are a smart lot, and we won’t decide to build computers that even approach human consciousness.

Finally, it is worth recalling that due to the marvelous benefits that cutting-edge technology has bestowed on humanity, we do have a tendency to buy into technology hype.

To provide just one small example, a decade ago, legions of tech experts, venture capitalists, government officials and many others predicted that driverless cars would be ubiquitous on our highways today.

That hasn’t happened, and as deaths caused by driverless cars mount, the hype-induced vision of a driverless car future has dissipated.

We can manage AI. It will not manage us.

Television production was migrating en masse to newly built studios in Canadian cities like Vancouver and Toronto. Moves were increasingly filmed in Georgia, Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina and New York. All that was happening not because of greater resources, but because of tax subsidies granted by those states and some Canadian provinces.

Local governments went so far as to foot the bill for construction of studios, purchase of trailers for dressing rooms and even hotel bills.

So early in the last decade, California realized it could no longer take for granted its status as the entertainment capital of the world.

If the Golden State wasn’t careful, Los Angeles might have become little more than a home to studio executives, post-production houses and editing rooms. It could have been sayonara Hollywood, except for a whitewashed sign in the hills visible from the Santa Monica Freeway, a wax museum and some memorabilia shops along a few faded boulevards.

Some other industry easily could have displaced entertainment as the third biggest in this state, behind only high technology and agriculture.

But that didn’t occur; entertainment survived as big business here largely because of tax credits granted to the industry in return for keeping production within the state.

“You follow the money,” actor-director Ben Affleck told one reporter after the tax credit money began flowing. He noted that tax credits and incentives sometimes cover as much as one-third of production costs in a business where profit margins can be thin.

States go after California’s production schedules because they can lead to new jobs (mostly temporary ones) and more government revenue without the kind of environmental problems that accompany

new factories and other facilities.

Movie makers almost always guarantee host states they will leave conditions exactly as they were before, or better. Many a home in Southern California, for example, has gotten a face-lift after being used for a movie location.

One study showed that over the last decade, California’s tax credits produced at least $1.11 in state and local tax revenues for every dollar of tax benefits deployed.

Relatively small as California film location credits have been (less than one-fifteenth of national credits from a state with about one-ninth of the national population), the spending has led to more than $10 billion in movie spending in California over the last decade.

Plus, it helps keep the high-paid, highly taxed film industry executives and stars and their resources at home.

So it was only sensible for the Legislature and Newsom to renew those benefits this summer, along with a couple of new benefits to the industry.

One new bone tossed to the studios: When their credits are larger than their tax bills, they will now get cash payments from the state, rather than just carrying the benefit over to future years of tax returns.

The new rules also include safety factors inspired in part by the “Rust” debacle, where actor Alec Baldwin accidentally killed a cinematographer on a movie set in New Mexico because he believed a prop gun wasn’t loaded, when it was.

Movies involving firearms will now need to have a safety adviser on set during filming. Armorers and prop masters will also get new training and for the first time must be licensed.

Plus, a small part of tax credits will depend on meeting new diversity targets, with a subsidy for training film workers going to community colleges that serve mostly students of color.

It’s a deal that promises to keep entertainment big business in California and continue a tax benefit whose benefits to the state have long been proven.

Del Mar Horsepark reopens

Sunshine Classic is facility’s first show in four years

By Laura Place

DEL MAR — A buzz of activity returned to the new-and-improved Del Mar Horsepark last week as it reopened for the Del Mar Sunshine Classic, the first show at the iconic park in nearly four years.

The five-day show from July 12 to 16 kicked off the park’s first regular summer season since 2020, following a multimillion-dollar renovation overseen by new operator Horse Shows in the Sun, or HITS.

Folks in both the local and national equestrian scene alike have been chomping at the bit to get back in the arena after the cancelation of the 2020 summer season due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent discontinuation of all equestrian activities in early 2021 due to water maintenance issues.

Since taking over the park in 2022, HITS has implemented not only a new water drainage system but state-of-the-art footing in the show arenas, larger stalls, new VIP seating, a new cafe and restaurant, and updated restrooms.

“It was a long process, but definitely worth the wait. I think everyone is so excited to be back here in Del Mar. This is one of our favorite facilities, so the riders are really excited to finally be back,” said Del Mar Horsepark general manager Dale Harvey.

In addition to the daily hunter and show jumping competitions for various ages and experience levels, the Sunshine Classic included a $25,000 Welcome Classic on July 13 and a $100,000 Sunshine Grand Prix on July 15.

Show jumper Guillermo Obligabo of Rancho Santa Fe said he had been riding at the park for over 20 years when it closed and was pleased to be back.

“It’s always been a good place for the community

to be able to show at home. This is one of the best last fields in the West Coast, so having this place back is unbelievable,” Obligabo said.

Olympic show jumper Cassio Rivetti, who operates Cassio Rivetti Stables in Rancho Santa Fe and also competed at the Sunshine Classic, said the new footing technology is what really makes the new park stand out as a premier showing destination.

“Everything is safer for the horses. Our horses can’t ride on bad footing. They give us the best conditions that we expect for five-starlevel shows,” Rivetti said.

“It’s really important for us to have a place like that.”

The horses’ comfort extends beyond the arena and into their stalls, which have been widened and outfitted with rubberized floor mats and new doors.

While there are still improvements to be made at the park, such as the revamping

of the covered arena set to begin later this fall, riders said the Sunshine Classic is a sign of good things to come.

“As a first show, it looks really good,” Rivetti said.

In further celebration of the park’s opening, HITS also planned a mural painting event on July 15 led by internationally renowned artist and sculptor Jerome Gastaldi, giving visitors the chance to contribute to a colorful piece of art at the park.

Upcoming shows in the Del Mar Summer Series include the Del Mar Summer Festival on Aug. 2-6 (premier) and Aug. 9-13 (national) and the Del Mar Summer Classic on Aug. 23-27 (premier) and Aug. 30 to Sept. 3 (national.)

Following the summer season, the horse park will host seven additional shows between September and October.

Ex-candidate avoids criminal charges for alleged threats

Morris now facing defamation lawsuit related to blog posts

By Laura Place ENCINITAS

— The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office has declined to bring criminal charges against former Encinitas mayoral candidate Jeff Morris related to a slew of anonymous threats made on a local blog.

Since then, a local woman who claims she has been the target of much of the online abuse has filed a civil defamation lawsuit against Morris, his wife, and other parties related to their alleged online conduct.

In May, the Sheriff's Department confirmed it was investigating threatening language posted anonymously on the Blogger forum Encinitas Undercover, with the matter eventually being passed on to the District Attorney’s Office.

During the investigation, law enforcement noted parallels between the anonymous Blogger posts beginning last fall and those made by Morris on his public-facing social media pages and said they had received several complaints from residents about posts that contained threatening language.

However, as of early July, the DA's Office has

declined to file any charges against Morris, and the Sheriff's Department is no longer investigating the situation.

“We can only file charges when we believe we can prove them beyond a reasonable doubt,” said DA’s Office spokesperson Steve Walker.

This marks the second time in the past eight months the county DA's Office has failed to bring criminal charges against Morris due to a lack of evidence. Four months after he was arrested on Christmas day at his home following an alleged domestic

violence incident, prosecutors ended up dismissing all misdemeanor charges, stating that law enforcement had been unable to locate witnesses to the incident.

Paul Neuharth, Morris’s longtime attorney, said Morris and his family moved out of the state weeks ago “because of all the harassment they received here in Encinitas.”

Natalie Settoon, the Encinitas woman behind the defamation lawsuit, said much of the vitriol has stemmed from her vocal opposition to Morris’s mayoral candidacy last

year. Indeed, many of the posts from Morris’s main page and anonymous posts on the Blogger forum have been concentrated on the outcome of the 2022 election.

Settoon has sought multiple protective orders against Morris related to his online posts, two of which resulted in temporary restraining orders that have since expired. On one of these occasions in December 2022, Morris was required to temporarily surrender his firearms, including several pistols, rifles and a shotgun. Each of Settoon's attempts to ob -

tain a permanent restraining order against Morris has been denied.

Leslie Akins, the attorney representing Settoon, said the DA's decision not to pursue criminal charges is unfortunate, but that they will move ahead with the matter as a defamation case in civil court.

“The level of harassment that was directed at Natalie and others was very significant and very, very threatening,” Akins said. “It’s hard to believe after reading everything that’s been posted that that would be the decision they came to.”

The Morrises have never been definitively linked to the anonymous posts on the Blogger forum. Blogger permits anyone to comment under the name “Anonymous,” and most of the comments on Encinitas Undercover are posted anonymously.

However, Settoon’s defamation case argues there are clear signs the anonymous posts are authored by Morris, including the consistent use of terms like “skank” and “whore” and the tone of the posts. In addition, several anonymous posts that speak positively of Morris in the third person would also occasionally go into the first person, which Settoon said tipped his hand.

Akins said they are prepared to not only subpoena the hosts of the web -

sites where the posts were made to confirm that they came from Morris, but also include the expertise of a forensic linguist on the matter.

Neuharth emphasized that Settoon has never presented solid evidence supporting the claim that Morris authored any anonymous postings.

“She had absolutely zero evidence that postings were being made by Mr. Morris anonymously,” Neuharth said. “She tried to make allegations because the anonymous post would have the same word as a Jeff Morris post, and if it was negative, that somehow it had to be from him.”

Defamation case

The defamation complaint filed July 12 alleges that Morris, his wife Kim, and other unnamed defendants impugned Settoon’s character by falsely accusing her of “moral turpitude,” committing criminal offenses, being mentally ill and having sexually transmitted diseases in various online posts.

The complaint focuses mostly on anonymous posts on the Blogger forum that Settoon claims were posted by or on behalf of Morris, as well as posts under his name on the Encinitas Watchdog page on Facebook, of which Jeff and Kim Morris were adminis-

Newsom urged Assembly Dems reconsider vote

By Steve Puterski REGION

— A small faction of state Assembly Democrats caused a firestorm last week after killing a bill redefining human trafficking as a “serious felony.”

After Senate Bill 14 was killed on July 11 in the Assembly’s Public Safety Committee, social media exploded with a range of accusations against Democrats, from protecting traffickers and supporting pedophilia to failing to use common sense to address a bipartisan issue.

At least one Democrat member of the Assembly Public Safety Committee reported receiving a death threat, according to a report by CalMatters.

The bill, making human trafficking of a minor (age 0-17) a serious felony and treated as a strike under the state’s three strikes law, was brought back on July 13 when Assemblyman Heath Flora (R-Ripon) called for a vote on the Assembly floor. The Democrats defeated the bill 43-17.

The California Assembly subsequently voted on July 13 to return the bill to the Public Safety Committee, where it passed on a 6-2 vote, with Assemblyman Isaac Bryan (D-Culver City), the Democratic majority leader, and Assemblywoman Mia Bonta (D-Oakland), wife of state Attorney General Rob Bonta, abstaining.

The bill was authored by Assemblywoman Shannon Grove (R-Bakersfield) with a bipartisan coalition of more than 30 co-authors.

After the July 13 hearing, the total of coauthors grew to 50. In the state Senate,

ESCONDIDO — An 18-year-old man and three teenage boys suspected of burglarizing 10 businesses in Escondido early today were taken into custody following a brief predawn road chase that ended when the car they were in crashed near the intersection of Interstate 15 and state Route 78.

The events that led to the pursuit began about 3:15 a.m., when a security guard working in the 600 block of North Broadway in Escondido made an emergency call to relay information provided by a transient who saw four youths loading what he

TODDLER CONTINUED FROM

Grove’s bill sailed through committees and the floor with bipartisan approval.

During a July 12 press conference, Grove said she received a call from Gov. Gavin Newsom, who expressed shock and dismay over the committee’s action.

Two years earlier, Grove introduced a broader bill regarding human trafficking, SB 1042, which failed to pass through the legislature.

“This is a bill with strong bipartisan support, and protecting victims of child sex trafficking should not be a partisan issue,” Grove said at the press conference. “Today is a victory for every survivor. However, the battle is not over — SB 14 must still go through the

Assembly Appropriations Committee when legislators return from Summer recess. I believe most As-

the Assembly Appropriations Committee.”

The California Legislature is currently in recess,

What kind of signal are we sending … if we can’t pass a bill to hold traffickers accountable. You can choose a team. Pick pedophiles or children.”

sembly Democrats want to vote for this bill if they are given a chance, and I am hopeful we can succeed in

and the Assembly Appropriations Committee is scheduled to take up the bill when the session recon-

venes on Aug. 14.

Currently, child trafficking carries a sentence between five to 12 years in prison and a $500,00 fine for a first offense, with penalties increasing up to life in prison if the crime involves violence, coercion, fear or threats.

Under California’s three strikes law — which currently includes the crimes of murder, attempted murder, rape, sodomy by force, arson, bank robbery and first-degree burglary — penalties increase significantly.

The California Assembly Democrats’ posted a since-deleted tweet on July 12 after the controversial vote: “The current 3 Strikes (sic) model dispro-

portionately affects Black, Indigenous & (sic) People of Color communities, so any bill that builds on this system needs to ensure equity & (sic) that unforeseen consequences do not lead to trafficked children being punished under the law.”

Isaac Bryan (D-Los Angeles) explained his abstention by saying on Twitter, “The people most vulnerable to being charged with trafficking are the victims of trafficking themselves. Charges are used to leverage their cooperation in prosecution, and their survivor status is erased, with many currently incarcerated in youth and adult prisons.

On July 13, Assemblywoman Liz Ortega reversed course, tweeting that she made a “bad decision” regarding her abstaining from the July 11 vote, thus helping kill the bill.

“Voting against legislation targeting really bad people who traffic children was wrong,” Ortega later said. “I regret doing that and I am going to help get this important legislation passed into law.”

Denise Aguilar, a co-founder of Freedom Angels, responded to Ortega on Twitter.

“I’m glad to hear you have changed your position after we spoke to you yesterday (July 12) when you told us to our face there’s enough punishment for child traffickers,” Aguilar said.

Flora’s call for a vote on the Assembly floor was met with pushback as Democrats said the bill may not be fully funded without going through the Appropriations Committee.

“I’m calling on us to do what is right,” Flora said on July 13. “What kind of signal are we sending … if we can’t pass a bill to hold traffickers accountable. You can choose a team. Pick pedophiles or children.”

believed was an ATM into a maroon Cadillac sedan, according to police.

The guard then discovered that a doughnut shop in the area had a broken front window and possibly had been burglarized.

When patrol personnel found the vehicle a short time later on Park Avenue near Broadway, they saw the suspects placing a large safe in the front seat, the Escondido Police Department reported. Seeing the officers approach, the youths jumped into the car. After the driver backed into a patrol vehicle, the Cadillac sped away, police said.

Following a rough-

ment said in a statement.

ly five-minute high-speed chase, the driver of the Cadillac lost control while trying to make a right turn from southbound Centre City Parkway onto westbound Washington Avenue, sending the car crashing into a palm tree in a parking lot, according to EPD.

The occupants then scrambled out of the vehicle and made a failed attempt to escape on foot, police said. Officers took one into custody just outside the car and caught the other three nearby.

The suspects, all residents of Hemet, were treated at hospitals for injuries they apparently had suffered

in the car crash.

In addition to the safe, officers found cash, jewelry, stolen store merchandise and a loaded gun inside the damaged Cadillac.

Investigators believe the four teens burglarized the following central and western Escondido businesses overnight: Blue Mug Coffee and Tea, Del’s Barber Shop, Donut Star, George Burgers, Glamour Brows, La Michoacana Plus, Lourdes Mexican Food, Sally’s Beauty, 10 Perfect Nails, and Top Trendy Nails and Spa.

Detectives were working with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department to determine if several

overnight burglaries in San Marcos and other previous ones in Escondido were committed by same group.

The adult suspect allegedly driving during the pursuit was identified as Adrian Isaiah Jaramillo. The names of the other suspects were withheld because they are minors.

Burglary spree leads to chase, arrests of four teens

A debatable campaign tactic

ask mr. marketing

rob weinberg

Perhaps you’ve heard the 2024 presidential campaign has started. Today, there are 17 candidates, and more may still appear.

With a dozen wannabes already in place, the Republican Party has announced a threshold to qualify for the Aug. 23 primary debate.

Only candidates with 40,000-plus individual campaign donors (and 200-plus unique donors in 20 states or territories) will appear on stage.

Enter North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum. With 779,000 constituents (the fourth least populous state), Burgum probably can’t outgun names like Trump and DeSantis. Hoping to improve his chances, he’s using an interesting marketing ploy.

A long-shot contender at the bottom of recent polls, he’s offering $20 gift cards to the first 50,000 people who donate $1 to his campaign. One lucky contributor will win a Yeti Tundra 45 cooler (value $300).

This maneuver has generated healthy amounts of free press in the New York Times and elsewhere, though their using words like desperation probably haven’t helped him.

Burgum’s campaign admits these promotional efforts are meant to help “secure a spot on the debate stage while avoiding paying more advertising fees to social media plat-

forms who have owners that are hostile to conservatives.”

Campaign finance lawyers are questioning the legality of Mr. Burgum’s strategy.

Other candidates (Chris Christie, Perry Johnson) are using equally novel approaches to gain donors, with varying degrees of success.

Retailers use loss leaders to get customers in the door, hoping they’ll buy other, more profitable items too. In Mr. Burgum’s case, he’d better have a strategy for converting sales prospects into longterm customers if he’s looking for lasting success.

The problem is that with his short runway and heavy competition, Mr. Burgum may not be able to successfully turn these 50,000 prospects into voters.

Arguably, even if he gets onto that stage, he still must outshine some better known (and presumably louder) competitors.

The show is two hours long, and after subtracting time for questions, drama and (ostensibly) 11 other candidates wanting to speak, he’ll be fortunate to get six minutes of airtime.

Advertising doyen

David Ogilvy observed, “It’s not creative unless it sells,” so this move is arguably worth it if it helps Mr. Burgum achieve his shortterm objective.

It’s certainly an interesting angle, and he wouldn’t be the first president who bought his way into office.

With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

Encinitas nonprofits profiled for San Diego Gives Day

By Kaila Mellos REGION

— Each year, San Diegans get the opportunity to participate in a day of giving to help support local nonprofits, and this year, three Encinitas organizations are being highlighted for their years of work in the community.

San Diego Gives Day, started in 2021, has given charities around the county a chance to earn donations toward achieving their overall goals or completing specific projects. Last year, 327 nonprofits raised $1,088,647 from over 3,700 donors.

San Diego Gives aims to raise at least $1.5 million for 350 nonprofits this year, and many have nearly reached or already surpassed their set goal point.

In Encinitas, multiple charities seek help funding future projects, including California Institute for Human Sciences, Community Resource Center, and Coastal Roots Farm.

California Institute for Human Sciences

The California Institute for Human Sciences, located on El Camino Real in the heart of Encinitas, is an accredited university teaching students who want to dive deeper into the mind, body, and spirit.

“Our whole mission is mind, body, spirit education,” Nicole Riel, director of development and public programs at CIHS, said. “We have degrees in integral health, holistic psychology, and noetic sciences, and we focus on the whole person.”

In 2021, CIHS earned regional accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, Senior College, and University Commission, one of six national institutional accrediting agencies.

After 30 years of being part of Encinitas, the organization is committed to providing higher education to whoever walks through its doors, mainly offering students seeking master’s or Ph.D. degrees.

The school has only just partnered with San Diego Gives after discovering them last year a little too late to register as a nonprofit. But this year, they are hoping that the community that they established will help them reach their $20,000 goal.

“We’ve got a couple of specific projects that we’re looking to get funded,” Riel said. “Our number one is the scholarship fund, which we are just launching in the fall of 2023. We also have a research fund that we’re trying to get funded to help with consciousness research and expand another open research.”

The school is also organizing a conference next year to speak on the tie between neuroscience and consciousness.

So far, CIHS has not received any donations through the San Diego

Gives site but will continually accept donations until the campaign ends in September. After that, there is also a place to donate directly on their website.

Community Resource Center

The Community Resource Center aims to help people create paths to healthy food, stable homes, and safe relationships. The nonprofit, founded in 1979, provides emergency assistance, case management, counseling, shelter, and food assistance to low-income individuals and families who are economically vulnerable, unsheltered, or at imminent risk of being unsheltered, including domestic violence survivors.

The CRC is the primary provider of social services and domestic violence programs in coastal North County San Diego, serving more than 6,400 individuals each year regardless of race, religion,

gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age, or immigration status.

They have been working with San Diego Gives since its beginning in 2021 and have exceeded the expectations they set every year since.

“In 2021, we exceeded my expectations for fundraising by more than 200%,” said Debbie Murray, chief philanthropy officer at CRC. “In 2022, we experienced yet again the generosity of our community, seeing another increase in gifts received. And, over the two years, 9% of donors have been new donors, illustrating the impact of San Diego Gives in making CRC more visible to a wider audience.”

Murray hopes that the continual use of partnering with San Diego Gives will help the organization gain even more recognition in the county as a helping hand and possibly bring

more people to them that need help.

“Although CRC is widely recognized in the North Coastal region of San Diego County, we aren’t as well-known throughout the rest of the county,” Murray said. “I thought San Diego Gives would be a great opportunity to increase our visibility to a wider audience – the community of potential supporters, but also, great importance, those individuals and families who might need our programs.”

Last year, with their support exceeding what they expected, they were able to help over 300 people in the North Coastal region.

“CRC relies on the generosity of our community for financial support. Last year, we helped 333 people find safe housing, distributed more than 612,000 pounds of food, and answered 2,790 calls to our 24-hour domestic violence

Gives Day since it began in 2021 and have been able to fundraise for initiatives on the Farm that would not be possible without donations.

“Any nonprofit in San Diego is invited to be a part of this greater movement of a fundraising campaign,” said Kesha Spoor, director of philanthropy, communications, and impact strategy at Coastal Roots. “The Farm, we do our campaigns during other times of the year, but we’ve felt we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to join this greater movement of San Diego giving.”

This year, they are asking for and have received $1,800 towards their environmental education initiative. On the 17 acres of land run by Coastal Roots Farm, they run multiple educational activities besides producing food.

hotline,” Murray said. “Financial support is critical to ensure we have the staffing and program funding to provide the assistance our neighbors need.”

This year so far, CRC has been able to raise $15,553 after just setting the goal of $15,000.

“Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of our neighbors in need of food, stable housing, and safe shelter from domestic violence,” Murray said. “Supporters transform lives, helping our neighbors move from hunger to hope, from crisis to community, from the shadows to shelter.”

Supporters of the nonprofit can continue to donate through the San Diego Gives website or learn more about the charity and get more involved.

Coastal Roots Farm

Coastal Roots Farm is a nonprofit Jewish community farm and education center in Encinitas owned by the Leichtag Foundation. They thrive by practicing organic farming, sharing the harvest with those who lack access, delivering unique farmbased, environmental education, and fostering inclusive spaces for people of all ages and backgrounds to learn about food, farming, and Jewish tradition.

They believe engaging in ways that catalyze a healthier, more vibrant community and a more sustainable future for our region is essential.

The Farm, located on land recognized as indigenous to the Kumeyaay and Luiseño peoples, is responsible for growing 80,000 pounds of fresh organic food that goes to more than 40,000 people.

They have been able to be a part of San Diego

The Farm’s Environmental STEM, Nutrition & Workforce Development Programs provide San Diego County youth with barrier-free, outdoor environmental science and nutrition education, workforce development, and career pathway experiences, including Field Trips, Career Pathway Experiences, After school on the Farm and Seasonal Farm Camps, a Counselors-in-Training Program, and Farm Internships.

The Farm strives to reduce barriers to participation by ensuring its educational programs are accessible to all, regardless of ability to pay. While the Farm’s educational programming is open to all students from San Diego County and beyond, the Farm actively partners with communities across San Diego County that have historically been underserved to participate in Farm programs at no cost.

The Environmental STEM, Nutrition & Workforce Development Programs serve over 9,800 youth, including half of low-income and underserved students.

Coastal Roots Farm is still accepting donations through San Diego Gives website but has multiple other opportunities to also go towards giving back to them. They have a farm stand open twice a week on a pay-what-you-can system with food grown by them. There are also opportunities for direct donations through their website.

Padres open 2024 season in So. Korea

By City News Service

Time for the piddling Padres to punt on ’23

REGION

— The Padres will open the 2024 baseball season with a pair of games in Seoul, South Korea, against the Los Angeles Dodgers — marking the first regular-season Major League Baseball games ever played in Korea, it was announced last week.

MLB and the MLB Players Association on July 12 announced the historic series, along with international games involving other teams in Mexico City and the Dominican Republic, in addition to previously announced games in London.

The Padres-Dodgers games are scheduled for March 20-21, with each team taking a turn as the home team.

“Korea is a great baseball country with a rich tradition, passionate fans, and talented players, including current Padre and San Diego fan favorite Ha-Seong Kim,” Padres CEO Erik Greupner said in a statement.

“The Padres are proud to serve alongside the Dodgers as global ambassadors for the game of baseball with our historic 2024 Korea Series.”

The series will mark the second straight season in which the Padres will play internationally — they faced the San Francisco Giants for two games in Mexico City in April.

The Padres also opened the 1999 season in Monterrey, Mexico, against the Colorado Rockies.

MLB and the players union also announced 2024 regular-season games in Mexico City (Houston Astros vs. Colorado Rockies, April 2728) and the Dominican Republic (Tampa Bay Rays vs. Boston Red Sox, March 9-10).

A London series between the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, set for June 8-9, was previously announced.

Pitcher Christian Koch throws perfect game to help Encinitas All Stars earn West Region bid

By Jordan P. Ingram Encinitas Little League Intermediate All Stars

pitcher Christian Koch served up a perfect game against Silver Spur Little League in Saturday’s final of the Southern California Intermediate 50/70 Baseball Championship, allowing no hits or walks over six innings in an 11-0 run-rule victory at Perez Field in Ventura.

After winning the District 31 and Section 6 championships last month, Encinitas went undefeated over the weeklong tournament, punching its ticket to the West Region tournament as the SoCal state champs and becoming just the fourth Encinitas Little League All Stars team to advance to the regional in the organization’s 66-year history.

The right-handed Koch had 13 strikeouts over six innings en route to achieving a rare pitching milestone against the team from Rolling Hills Estates in Los Angeles County. Of Koch’s 73 total pitches, 53 were strikes or 72%.

At the plate, Encinitas

scored 11 runs on 15 hits, including Will Friedrichs’ three-run homer to right field in the 6th inning that helped secure the win by invoking the 10-run rule. Friedrichs finished 3 of 4 with 5 RBI to lead the team.

In addition to a historic pitching performance, Koch went 3 for 4 with an RBI. Tanner Hellman went 2 for 4, Curren Haberfield finished 2 for 4 with an RBI, and Blake Larson went 3 for 3.

At the SoCal state championship tournament, Encinitas scored 45 runs while surrendering only five. Since the beginning of the summer, the team has outscored its opponents 11712. The team remains undefeated in postseason play.

“We feel very blessed to be in the situation we’re in,” said head coach Ted Haberfield. “The boys are playing extremely well together; the

chemistry and intensity is evident. We are now entering uncharted territory. We finally won the SoCal tournament. The team is anxious to see how far they can go, with the World Series our biggest goal.”

The Encinitas Little League, Intermediate All Stars, begin pool play in the regional tournament against Oregon at 5:30 p.m. on July 20 in Nogales, Ariz. Following the opener against Oregon, Encinitas will play NorCal at 8 p.m. on July 21, Washington at 5 p.m. on July 22, and Alaska at 5 p.m. on July 24.

After four games, teams will be seeded in a single-elimination tournament to qualify for the Little League World Series.

The 2023 Little League Intermediate 50/70 Baseball World Series is tentatively scheduled for July 30Aug. 6 at Max Baer Park in Livermore, California.

Editor’s Note: 50/70 refers to the distance from the pitcher’s mound to home plate (50 feet) ace between bases (70 feet).

The Padres are in the hot corner and this has nothing to do with third baseman Manny Machado. The trading deadline is closing fast and it equals the rate of speed of the Padres’ free fall.

No matter which way the flailing and failing Padres turn, they are backed into a corner.

When this season’s curtain was raised, the beginning of August was to be a signal to ramp up for the final two months. A time to fill out the roster, to bring in some reinforcements and the opportunity to mold a dynamite regular-season squad into one that could cause damage come October and bring the Padres their first World Series title.

Unfortunately the buzz generated from the unprecedented turnout at FanFest has morphed into a bona fide train wreck for the Padres and their backers. A season that was to be so special is the most disappointing in franchise history and when peeling through the Padres’ pathetic lore, that’s saying something.

But nothing comes close and those close to the team know it. This Petri dish experiment of asking four hitters to carry an offense, a thin rotation that doesn’t go deep into games to preserve an overworked bullpen and a pencil-thin bench was a fantasy.

So now what?

Sports, all sports, is about making adjustments and for the Padres to stand pat while imagining things will somehow be different is the stuff of unicorns, rose-colored glasses and a portly guy shimmering down a chimney.

One can’t keep their faith and their sanity at the same time with this collection of players. The Padres don’t pass the test, and that includes the one by eyes, won-loss record and includes the daunting task of passing the numerous teams ahead of them.

Should the Padres sell off and start fresh? No way, because there isn’t a path for them to do it and

sports talk

jay paris

despite their pratfalls, they remain in a win-now mode.

Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr., Xander Bogaerts and Juan Soto aren’t going anywhere; Soto, at least, until after 2024. Owner Peter Seidler didn’t allow Encinitas’ AJ Preller, the director of baseball operations, to demolish the farm system just to kick Soto to the curb prematurely.

PItchers Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove are secured by long-term deals so they stay put too.

But lefty Blake Snell and closer Josh Hader are attractive, although contemplating a stellar haul is likely a pipe dream. But something is better than nothing.

Would a contender pay a steep price for those two proven commodities? Yes, to a degree. But with them being two-month rentals before reaching free agency, the return will be muted.

Swing man Seth Lugo should skeddadle too, but again the pieces coming to San Diego won’t shake the Padres from their funk.

First baseman Jake Cronenworth?

No takers with his bloated contract and bogged-down statistics.

Second baseman HaSeong Kim? He’s among the few Padres playing with any fire and the customers have noticed.

Think that’s a stretch? Listen to the player introductions before Petco Park games and Kim regularly gets the biggest cheer. The 2023 Padres certainly don’t deserve a toast. But they can’t let a dismal ’23 derail what could be a potential run in 2024 by not facing the fact that this year is kaput.

Wave FC to host NWSL Championship at Snapdragon

By City News Service

REGION — San Diego

Wave FC will host the National Women’s Soccer League Championship at Snapdragon Stadium on Nov. 11, it was announced this week.

The league final will return to the West Coast for the first time since 2018.

“We are extremely proud and honored to have been selected to host the 2023 NWSL Championship game,” San Diego Wave FC President Jill Ellis said.

“This gives us another

significant opportunity to welcome the world’s game to San Diego, and we could not be prouder of our fans for embracing our club and creating the passionate atmosphere that is giving us the opportunity to bring this event to Snapdragon Stadium.”

The NWSL Championship game is another in a rapid succession of marquee soccer matches, following a Gold Cup semifinal between the United States and Panama this month and two international exhibition matches next

week — Wrexham AFC vs. Manchester United on Tuesday and SD Loyal vs. Borussia Dortmund on Thursday.

Opened in August 2022, Bashar Field at Snapdragon Stadium serves as the home of Wave FC as well as the San Diego State Aztecs football program and the San Diego Legion of Major League Rugby.

“With top-notch facilities, a passionate soccer community and a favorable coastal climate, San Diego sets the perfect stage for our marquee

event,” NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman said.

When used for soccer-specific events, the venue seats 32,000 spectators. Last September, Wave FC played its inaugural home match at the stadium in front of a sellout crowd, breaking the league’s single-game attendance record.

The 2023 NWSL playoffs will feature the top six teams at the end of the regular season, with the top two seeds earning a first-round bye to the semifinals.

The quarterfinals are set to begin Oct. 22 and will air across CBS Sports Network and Paramount+. Semifinal matches will take place Nov. 4 on CBS Sports Network ahead of the Championship match on Nov. 11.

The championship will be staged at 5 p.m. local time on the CBS Television Network and Paramount+.

All playoff matches will stream outside of the U.S. on Watch.NWSLSoccer.com and across the league's various international platforms.

— Following 18 years with the program, the last nine as head coach, San Diego State University skipper Mark Martinez announced his retirement on July 13.

As head coach of the Aztecs, Martinez compiled a 257217 record (.542), winning three Mountain West tournament titles, in 2015, 2017 and 2018 to go with one regular season title in 2023.

Prior to his elevation to head coach, Martinez spent nine years as an assistant at SDSU under the late Tony Gwynn, serving as the program's associate head coach before succeeding the Baseball Hall of Famer on Aug. 20, 2014.

“I want to thank Tony Gwynn and the Gwynn family for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to coach at SDSU,” Martinez said. “Coach Gwynn changed our life’s trajectory and I’m forever grateful.”

Under Martinez’s tutelage, the Aztecs garnered 46 all-Mountain West accolades since 2015, including four conference Pitcher of the Year honorees, one MW Player of the Year recipient and one league Freshman of the Year winner, according to university records.

In that time frame, the Aztecs have also had 53 student-athletes chosen in the MLB First-Year Player Draft, with 13 of those selections making the big leagues.

“Mark’s teams have been competitive on and off the field, and he has left a lasting mark on Aztec Baseball,” said SDSU Director of Athletics John David Wicker. “He has left the program in a good place and I’m appreciative of his efforts.”

Over the past nine years, SDSU has had 75 players earn Mountain West all-academic honors.

After spending the previous 17 years as an assistant coach at New Mexico, Martinez was hired in a similar capacity at SDSU in July 2005, initially overseeing Aztec infielders and coaching at third base, according to a university statement.

Along with Gwynn, Martinez helped the Aztecs end an 18-year drought from NCAA postseason play with a regional appearance in 2009.

During this transition, pitching coach Shaun Cole will serve as San Diego State’s acting head coach.

REGION — Recent La Jolla Country Day School graduate Breya Cunningham scored 10 points and added five rebounds to help the United States team advance to the quarterfinals of the FIBA U19 Women’s World Cup with a 112-36 round-of-16 rout of Argentina on July 19 in Madrid.

Allie Ziebell of Neenah, Wisconsin, scored a team-high 20 points for the United States., which is unbeaten in four games in the competition.

The U.S. will face the Czech Republic in a quarterfinal game on July 21.

On July 18, Cunningham scored 16 points (making 8 of 9 of her shots) and pulled down 8 rebounds as the U.S. completed group play 3-0 with a 112-49 rout of Chinese Taipei.

The Americans outscored their opponents 297- 161 to win Group B.

The Padres haven’t shown they are even an average team over four months and now some anticipate it to play 20 games over .500 in the final two months, which is what is required to sniff the playoff race? A team that has zero winning streaks over three games and has yet to prevail in an extra-inning game?

The Padres need to set their pride, and exaggerated expectations, aside and get real. Bruised egos eventually heal and for the Padres to get healthy, they need to aim for ’24. Even if that means waving a white flag on ’23.

Anything else is a form of malpractice to a fan base that has been phenomenal. They continue to fill Petco despite the Padres’ numerous and clear shortcomings.

Everyone linked to, and with, the Padres despises the Dodgers and we get it. But the haters should embrace a slogan “Dem Bums” made famous decades ago, when Seidler’s grandfather, Walter O’Malley, owned the club.

That rallying cry in Flatbush should be repeated in East Village: “Wait till next year!”

Board split on gun violence study

Activists claim report a guide for county gun policy

By City News Service SAN DIEGO

— The San Diego County Board of Supervisors today failed to advance a study on gun violence, along with recommendations, with supervisors deadlocking on a 2-2 vote.

The study, prepared by Health Assessment and Research for Communities, offered statistics, public input, key findings and methods to lessen the problem, including safe gun storage.

Board Chairwoman Nora Vargas and Vice Chair Terra Lawson-Remer voted in favor of the study, while Supervisors Joel Anderson and Jim Desmond were opposed. The board’s District 4 seat remains vacant following the resignation of Nathan Fletcher — accounting for Tuesday’s tie.

According to the county board clerk, the board — which formally requested the gun violence study in April 2022 — may consider formally approving the report at a future meeting.

Vargas said the study was especially important, and cited Monday’s death of a 1-year-old girl who was accidentally shot and killed by her 3-year-old sibling in Fallbrook.

Earlier in the meeting, Vargas said the plan “in no way restricts or limits gun ownership.’’

But Desmond said the report showed him that “we’re dealing with a mental health crisis. That’s absolutely where the focus needs to be.’’

HARC researcher Daniel Polk said community engagement was at the center of the study, and noted two surveys with over 1,000 responses, 12 public forums, a 16-member community advisory group, online public feedback and regular project updates.

He added that a variety of data sources were used, including emergency medical services, county agencies, the Automated Regional Justice Information System and independent research organizations.

One study finding said that, from 2017-22, there were 1,310 deaths from firearms in the county. The breakdown of those deaths, according to the study, was: 70.9% suicide, 28.9% homicide, and the remainder accidental or undetermined.

The firearm-related homicide rate increased by 56.3%, while the firearm-re-

lated suicide rate fell 18%.

Polk said he and others “heard a wide range of perspectives’’ on gun violence, with mental illness, drug abuse, crime, gang violence and lack of family/social support systems being listed as factors.

The public offered solutions such as better mental health care, strict enforcement of penalties for crimes, funding for community organizations, after-school programs and domestic violence support services.

Other recommendations in the study included a partnership to connect firearm-injury patients and their families to services such as mental health care or financial assistance; offering gun-lock devices free of charge; and outreach programs that focus on changing community norms about gun violence.

The recommendations “are a starting point for the county,’’ Polk said.

Most speakers at Tuesday’s public hearing supported making the report part of county policy.

Jill Cooper, of Never Again California and a retired teacher, discussed the experience of participating in a mass-shooting drill at a school.

“What if we could be proactive and turn troubled potential shooters away from violence?’’ Cooper asked. She added that the report shows what communities know: Gun violence is destroying them, and putting youth at risk.

Michael Schwartz of San Diego County Gun Owners said his group participated in the report listening sessions, offered feedback and went to presentations on the final results.

“It became pretty clear that the results from this study do not present the epidemic or crisis that the political rhetoric from the

turn to suicide and

violence.’’

Lawson-Remer stated after the vote that even though county residents support common-sense gun safety reforms, “their wishes were thwarted by the radical gun lobby and the Republicans on the Board of Supervisors.’’

Lawson-Remer, a Democrat, said she was “appalled that on the day after a 1-yearold was tragically killed by her 3-year-old sibling who accessed an unsecured firearm, our board was unable to support even a simple educational campaign to promote safe storage and common sense gun safety.

“I will continue fighting to protect our children and communities from gun violence,’’ she added.

anti-gun groups’’ claim, he said. Schwartz said the county in general is extremely safe and that, while tragic, gun deaths are a rarity.

He said the county already funds gun violence prevention, in the form of law enforcement, mental health programs and gang prevention efforts.

“We don’t need more bureaucracy,’’ he added.

Before the vote, Lawson-Remer also mentioned the Fallbrook tragedy and added that “if the gun had been safely stored, we might be having a different outcome. Safe storage saves lives.’’

“All of us are heartbroken over the constant drum beat of mass shootings,’’ she added. “We have the power to change this.’’

However, Desmond pointed out that one in five adults in the United States now lives with mental illness, and that the San Diego Union-Tribune earlier this year reported that the rate of adults placed on 72-hour mental- health hold has almost doubled.

A safely stored gun is not violent, and clearly children shouldn’t have access to loaded firearms, Desmond said.

He said the recommendations don’t go far enough in terms of mental health treatment, and that he wanted to see more emphasis on promoting safe storage.

In a statement after the vote, Anderson said gun violence “is abhorrent, and I think we should focus on addressing the root of the issues.’’

Anderson added that 70% of total gun deaths were due to suicide, and, “This is why I have focused on investing in mental health, suicide prevention, law enforcement, and opportunities for people to improve their lives so that they don’t

Firefighter program

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously this week to advance a proposal that would expand opportunities for volunteer reserve firefighters, including stipends and training.

Supervisors will consider formally approving the ordinance on Aug. 29.

The proposed changes include “establishing new opportunities to join the Volunteer Reserve Firefighter Program, formalizing training opportunities with established high school fire and emergency medical services programs, and engaging with rural and diverse high school students.’’

Holly Porter, deputy chief administrative officer, said the amended ordinance will strengthen the career path for those wanting to be volunteer firefighters.

“We have the opportunity to enhance the diversity of our firefighting workforce, so that it better represents the communities served in our region,’’ Porter said.

Fire Authority Chief Tony Mecham said that department is proposing stipends of $192 per shift for restricted volunteer reservists and $384 per shift for those who are full volunteers.

Stipends for those serving in other volunteer firefighting roles range from $95 to $145.

Tri-City Medical Center reached a milestone on July 11 with its successful 100th implantation of a device into the heart of a patient with congestive heart failure.

Dr. Aaron Yung, a board-certified interventional and structural cardiologist, implanted the 100th Watchman FLX Left Atrial Appendage Closure into the heart of Connie Kindel, a 67-year-old patient with congestive heart failure who takes warfarin for her non-valvular atrial fibrillation, or AFib.

“This latest generation device serves as a safe and effective stroke risk reduction alternative for patients with non-valvular AFib, especially those with a compelling reason not to be on blood thinners,” Yung said. “For Connie, this procedure is life-changing as it will reduce her risk for stroke and bleeding, as well as allow her to stop taking a blood thinner forever.”

Tri-City, which performed its first Watchman implant on Oct. 16, 2020, is the first hospital in North County to reach this 100th procedure milestone.

“The multidisciplinary team consisting of interventionalists, electrophysiologists, cardiac imaging specialists, nurses and staff has worked hard to make this milestone possible

and to transform the lives of those living with AFib,” said Dr. Gene Ma, president and CEO of Tri-City. More than 12 million people are expected to have AFib by 2030, according to the American Heart Association. AFib is a quivering, rapid heart rhythm arising from the top two chambers, or atria, of the heart.

The condition can cause blood to pool in a small pouch of the left atrium called the left atrial appendage and form clots, where almost 90% of stroke-causing clots from the heart begin.

The device is made from a light, fabric-like membrane and metal frame resembling a parachute and comes in five sizes to adapt to a person’s heart anatomy.

Most patients stay overnight and then come back for a follow-up about six weeks later. During that time, they remain on a blood thinner and lowdose aspirin while a layer of heart tissue begins to grow over the device to secure it in place and form a barrier against blood clots.

“I am so grateful that Tri-City Medical Center offers this procedure and feel that it has given me a new lease on life and peace of mind,” said Kindel, who has been discharged from the hospital. “Tri-City is one of the best hospitals I’ve ever been to and the only one I will come to.”

BBQ reimagined at Leucadia’s Smoke & Salt

If you’ve been on Coast Highway in north Leucadia lately, there is a good chance you’ve caught a whiff of one of life’s great aromas — low and slow burning wood smoking a variety of meats.

This, my friends, is an authentic BBQ, and it’s happening at Smoke & Salt, a fun backyard environment behind The Leucadian Bar featuring the creative culinary touches of chef/owner and longtime Leucadia local Jarle Saupstad.

Both Saupstad and the Leucadian have a long history in this neighborhood. Jarle’s grandparents settled in the area decades ago, giving Jarle one of those enviable youths spent growing up in a much simpler Encinitas.

I was delighted to hear that his first restaurant gig was at Olyo’s Pizza, the classic, old-school joint is known for great pizza and being very narrow. It closed in 2006, which gave me a few years to enjoy it, and I feel lucky.

Jarle cut his culinary chops on big yachts in Florida and some fine dining establishments nationwide, earning a James Beard Award nomination for “Best Rising Star Chef.” He was also part of the culinary team that opened Union Kitchen & Tap in Encinitas.

The pandemic derailed a planned BBQ theme restaurant and brought him back to Encinitas, where a fortuitous meeting with the owners of the Leucadian presented what he calls a

“microeatery concept” that resulted in Smoke & Salt taking shape.

If one concept was lacking in Encinitas, it was a solid BBQ joint. And Smoke & Salt has filled that void nicely.

On a quick side note, if you’ve not been to the newish Leucadian Bar, it has been given a modest freshen-up with a newly-renovated bar, pinball machine, darts, pool tables, and a cool backyard area. It’s a perfect space to watch sports or hang with friends outdoors.

Now, combine that with

Smoke & Salt cranking out mouthwatering food perfect for a beer-fueled appetite, and it’s become quite the local scene. I should also mention that they also have a Touch Tunes jukebox, perfect for creating a fun dance party while drinking, then segueing into some country-twinged tunes for the BBQ chow down that awaits.

As much as I lament the death of traditional jukeboxes, the convenience of Touch Tunes and the like can make for a fun evening.

Other than all your smokey favorites, like his

dry-rubbed brisket smoked for 18 hours, a 24-hour brined-then-smoked chicken and smoked pork spareribs finished on the grill, he has provided some fun new twists that will probably play better with the healthy coastal dwellers.

Chicken fried cauliflower, Korean fried chicken sandwich – a super crispy thigh with Nashville style hot sauce and house pickle, and the Brisket Bahn Mi with smoked brisket, pickled veggies, Korean inspired BBQ sauce on a fresh baguette.

Jarle also mentioned that his Smoke & Salt Burger created quite a buzz. When he described it as an American Wagyu patty with house pickles, cheddar and American cheese, shaved lettuce and secret sauce, I had to give it a shot.

For those of you unfamiliar, Wagyu is a Japanese beef cattle breed known for its marbling that gives the meat flavor and tenderness. You don’t want to put too much stuff on a piece of meat like this, which is evident in Jarle’s simple toppings.

Sides include Brussels

sprouts, mac and cheese, Korean-inspired coleslaw, Caesar salad, cornbread and house fries. Everything I saw on the changing menu was under $20, except for a rib platter.

And please, please consider the time that goes into making a good BBQ. It’s a labor of love, and the margins are thin.

Smoke & Salt is a welcome addition to the Encinitas dining scene, and I highly suggest it. Find Smoke & Salt at 1542 N. Coast Highway, Encinitas or Instagram @smokeandsaltrestaurant.

After years learning to cook on Florida yachts and in top-notch kitchens around the U.S., Saupstad has returned home to open a legitimate BBQ joint behind The Leucadian Bar on Coast Highway 101.

Boochyard overcomes The Oasis

petition is focused solely on the patio, not the beer!

ROUND 1 WINNER:

Local Roots’ The Boochyard Taproom has entered the North County Brewery Patio-off tournament, a summer challenge to find the best brewery patios in North County.

For those keeping track with brackets at home, Local Roots is an unseeded outsider, replacing Battlemage Brewing, whose patio turned out to be a myth.

On paper, Local Roots is the underdog taking on Burgeon Brewery’s Oasis location in Escondido, an established locals hot spot.

As a reminder, breweries are scored on a 100-point scale with a max of 20 points per category. See the scoring details in our NCBPO launch column. Skip below for an unexpected twist or two.

Local Roots, The Boochyard Taproom (Vista)

For starters, wow.

You’ll roll past the massive skateboard at the indoor skatepark and into a quiet business park. The patio at Local Roots is equally huge in scale, and it lays out before you like some royal estate as you come down the hill.

This is one of the most prominent patios I’ve ever seen. There is a grassy patch in the sun for games like cornhole or having a picnic. Adirondack chairs dot the edges for casual viewing.

Under a shade sail, oversized wooden tables accommodate groups, and tucked into the front corner of the grassy knoll is a lovely lounge area centered by a fire pit. That’s just the first level.

Move up two steps onto the concrete patio, and you’ll find tall rounds under umbrellas, couches along the wall, and plenty of open space to accommodate events under the overhead bulbs crisscrossing the area. Three oversized doors are rolled up, bringing the outside in or vice versa.

I don’t drink a lot of kombuchas, but the bartender suggests tasters until I find what I want. I try a Purple Haze.

The music is a little fist-pump-y for the early afternoon, but it fits the vibe: Instagram meets Rugged Brewer meets SoCal. It isn’t hard to imagine a crowd of kombucha enthusiasts jamming out to a live band on the porch.

Even if I didn’t want to test the kombucha waters, several guest beers and wines were on the board. They have a full menu of wood-fired Brooklyn-style pizzas if I feel peckish.

I imagine laughing with my wife when a string of cheese drips down on her chin. There is a good chance a millennial rom-com will be filmed here someday.

I ask someone what they think of the space, and they have the perfect reply. “It’s nice when it is empty like this because I hate people, but I think even if it were packed, there is enough space where it wouldn’t feel cramped.”

I agree and put my feet up by the campfire.

Burgeon Beer Co.’s The Oasis (Escondido)

Column note: Local Author and host of the long-running Beer Night in San Diego podcast, Cody Thompson, stepped in to help review some of the breweries near his HQ in Escondido.

Burgeon did the nearly unthinkable — opening a new location amidst the Covid pandemic. The Oasis is a 100 percent outdoor beer-drinking experience that offers an open-air, well-spaced option for beer drinkers hoping to socially distance while sipping killer beers* outside their bubble or backyard.

With businesses wide open, this location has genuinely lived up to its name. It’s an Oasis beckoning beer fans from all over the county to saddle up to one of its many permanent tables underneath gorgeous trees or branded umbrellas offering the perfect shade levels during the hotter days in the Valley.

You’re never more than a few feet away from the taps to fill up on a second or third beer.

The staff at the Oasis have created a positive cul-

ture and atmosphere. Welcoming, friendly faces greet you as you enter the space and before you finish your first Treevana. You’ll feel like you belong to the family.

On busier days, the Oasis expands its patio space, taking up real estate with picnic tables so you can almost always find a place to sit back and relax.

Where we’ve seen many locations throughout San Diego either team up with a food vendor or offer food onsite, Burgeon the Oasis offers on-site food trucks and vendors Thursday through Sunday.

Temecula wine tour kicks off at Halter Ranch

taste of wine

Frank and I were long overdue to visit some Temecula wineries, starting with Halter Ranch Temecula, formerly Hart Winery.

The late Joe Hart and his sons are known for their passion for farming and winemaking combined with a love for their craft.

After Joe’s passing, his family made a hard, bittersweet decision to sell. With numerous offers, they ultimately chose to sell the property to Swiss entrepreneur Hansjörg Wyss, owner of Halter Ranch in Paso Robles.

Halter Ranch Paso is a sprawling 2,700-acre estate against the Santa Lucia Mountain Range.

Wyss preserves the natural environment while producing exceptional terroir-driven wines. Established in 1996, the vineyard spans 200 of the 2,700 acres and is strategically planted on steep slopes at 1,950 feet elevation.

In 2011, Halter Ranch completed a state-of-theart production facility with a gravity flow system for gentle fruit extraction. The winery’s energy efficiency is enhanced by night air-cooling, natural lighting, and expansive caves covering 20,000 square feet for stable wine storage.

Wyss’s ethos of nature, preservation, and quality wines, led by winemaker Kevin Sass, was likely the driving factor in selling Hart Winery to Halter Ranch.

In 2011, Sass joined Halter Ranch as a winemaker after his 11-year period at Paso’s Justin winery, where he started as an intern and progressed to grower relations manager before assuming the role of Justin’s winemaker in 2006. He leads winemaking at Halter’s Paso, Temecula, and Hill Country, Texas, locations.

Roselle Hochstrasser, a server formerly at Hart Winery, and business manager Tessa Piercy guided us through an impressive lineup: whites and a rose, then eight reds.

We began with the 2021 Grenache Blanc (92%) with hints of picpoul blanc (5%) and viognier (3%). Its refreshing palate showcased melon, Meyer lemon, honey, and cream. Next came the 2021 Viognier (100%) with white peach, apricot, and subtle pear notes.

The 2022 Grenache (86%) Rosé, blended with 11% picpoul blanc and 3% mourvedre, offered flavors of dried mango, passion fruit, apricot, watermelon, and a citrus finish. These

selections set the stage for the array of reds to follow.

Our first red was the 2020 Barbera (100%), now sourced from Temecula due to glass wing sharpshooter insects, replacing the onsite estate-grown fruit. It’s one of the three estates for Temecula-sourced reds retained from Hart Winery.

2019 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (75% cabernet sauvignon, 20% malbec, 5% petit verdot) showcased a palate of blueberry, raspberry, and cocoa with velvety tannins.

The 2019 Ancestor Blend (60% cabernet sauvignon, 23% malbec, 17% petit verdot) stood out with

enced by local eucalyptus on the nose.

Our final wine was a 2020 Tannat (100%) Reserve. The 40% new French oak imparted a caramel, surprisingly soft finish for Tannat fruit that can impart strong finishes.

Halter Ranch is successfully preserving Hart wines and introducing Halter’s terroir-driven Paso wines in Temecula.

The winery’s Temecula location is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., offering weekend food and live music on Saturdays.

San Diego’s Butcher Shop, is hosting a Cakebread Wine Dinner at 6 p.m. on Aug. 3. Guests will experience an evening with wines from Napa Valley paired with

executive chef Brian Gist’s culinary creations. The cost is $120 per person and includes tax and gratuity. RSVP at butchershopsandiego.com.

The black cherry, cocoa, and vanilla flavors were assisted with American oak aging.

The sangiovese also receives American oak treatment, while all other wines are aged in French oak. Next, we enjoyed the renamed Chaparral blend, formerly Tres Hermanos Rhone Blend, paying homage to Joe Hart’s sons — Jim, Mike, and Bill — who worked at the winery.

This delightful wine comprises 70% syrah, 25% grenache, and 5% mourvedre, offering a palate of cherry, clove, and a hint of caramel. The Cotes de Paso (Rhone) shares similar fruit to Chaparral but with different percentages — 70% grenache, 15% syrah, and 13% mourvedre.

The standout reds of the day were the 2019 Estate Syrah (100% syrah), featuring a delightful blueberry palate enhanced by notes of clove and pie spice, evoking the aromas and flavors of a blueberry pie.

Following that, the

its added richness and complexity, offering a blueberry, blackberry, and dark cherry palate. It was my top choice of the day.

Local medium James Van Praagh holding event in Encinitas

By Jordan P. Ingram ENCINITAS

— After four decades in the public eye as a clairvoyant lifting the veil between the earthly and spiritual realms, internationally known psychic medium and Encinitas resident James Van Praagh has a philosophy for the skeptics of his work.

“What people think of me is none of my business,” Van Praagh told The Coast News.

Van Praagh, 64, has spent most of his career writing New York Times best-selling books, inspiring and creating television shows and movies, and sharing his extrasensory observations with Oprah, Larry King and Dr. Phil McGraw. In 2002, Van Praagh’s book “Talking to Heaven” inspired the twopart CBS miniseries “Living With The Dead,” starring Ted Danson.

More recently, the New York-born spiritualist has launched his School of Mystical Arts, offering online courses on everything from healing and meditation to developing and enhancing spiritual intuition and earning mediumship certification.

Today, Van Praagh enjoys the energy of Encinitas, a town he has called home for the past nine years. Later this month, the intuitive channeler will hold an event on July 28 at the Seaside Center for Spiritual Living in Cardiff.

“I found out how spiritual Encinitas was, beyond the (Self-Realization Fellowship Encinitas Temple),” Van Praagh said. “There is a bedrock in this area of quartz crystal. That’s why we chose Encinitas — it’s an energy space.”

Van Praagh said his

journey as a spiritual medium started at a young age while living with his Irish Catholic mother and three siblings in Queens, New York, often witnessing bright-colored spirits hanging out in the room with him. After informing his mother of his visions,

Van Praagh’s mother told him, “They will always help you, never harm you.”

As a child, Van Praagh said he was a target for bullies, but his mistreatment never turned him jaded or angry. Rather, the supernatural seer embraced concepts of universal love,

spiritual unity and peace.

“Often, I can’t relate to this world, the way we treat one another is just wrong,” Van Praagh said. “Treat others as you want to be treated. Love is a natural vibration, the soul’s energy. There is no fear in the spiritual world — that’s a limited human emotion. But we get caught up in human ego, and we aren’t happy because we are trying to live in this social media landscape.”

Growing up, Van Praagh went to church with his mom but never felt like he knew why he was there. While he enjoyed the pageantry of a Catholic mass, he said never quite understood it. Later, Van Praagh said he attended a seminary prep school to be a priest, not because he felt a higher calling, but rather to please his mother.

“Most kids come into this life, they are open and then they get programmed,” Van Praagh said. “And they start to think, ‘I’ll receive more love if I do what (my parents) want.’ They try to please people. By middle age, they don’t feel fulfilled in life — ‘Oh I’ve been living someone else’s life instead of my own.’”

After moving to the West Coast and graduating from San Francisco State with a broadcasting degree, Van Praagh moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a sitcom writer, eventually getting a job at

the Hollywood-based William Morris Agency, now William Morris Endeavour.

As time passed, Praagh continued to meet with fellow mediums, sharing more of his experiences, embracing his preternatural abilities and vowing to dedicate his gift to the service of others.

‘I see dead people’

Van Praagh describes his clairvoyance and intuitive gifts as pictures or movies playing in his head. He also claims to be clairaudient, or perceiving by hearing the inaudible, and clairsentient, or picking up emotional or psychic energy imperceptible to the standard five senses.

According to Van Praagh, raising his vibrational frequency to a higher spiritual level and keeping it elevated allows him to relay messages from beyond the veil to family members and relatives in the physical universe, all of which took him years to develop.

So what type of message does a departed soul have to share?

“(The spirits) give me a really strong sense of their personality, and many times they’ll come through to bring their final message — one last chance to tell a loved one they loved them or deliver a final message,”

Local man heals after snowboard fall

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO

— After experiencing a life-altering snowboarding accident, a resident has surpassed his recovery expectations, a miraculous development that he attributes to his positive outlook and dedication to fitness.

Ehrin Nussbaum, 36, has always liked to be on the move and enjoyed trying new things. Growing up in North County, he could be found surfing, snowboarding, riding motorcycles or skydiving.

“My motto is I’d rather regret the things I did than the things I didn’t do,” Nussbaum said.

Nussbaum picked up snowboarding about seven years ago as a new hobby. Soon, he frequently traveled from his home in Escondido to California snowboarding spots like Big Bear and Mammoth mountains and even as far as Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

On Jan. 30, 2022, Nussbaum was enjoying a leisurely day of snowboarding at Big Bear after hurting his heel while snowboarding the previous week.

When Nussbaum attempted a 15-foot jump, he realized he was falling way too fast after making the jump. Going between 35 and 40 miles per hour, Nussbaum fell 35 feet vertically and 100 feet horizontally before his body slapped the ground, breaking several bones.

At the time, Nussbaum didn’t immediately understand the severity of the damage to his body.

“I thought, ‘Oh this is going to suck tomorrow,’” he said.

But Nussbaum quickly realized his left arm was

broken, and he couldn’t move his legs.

Doctors later informed Nussbaum about the catalog of injuries and broken bones sustained in the fall, including a dislocated right leg, fractured hip and femoral head (the “ball” in the hip joint allowing movement), left femur compound fracture (broken bone causing break in the skin), and fractures to his L1-L5 vertebrae and left humerus (upper arm bone).

Luckily, Nussbaum was with friends who could find help fast and prevent other snowboarders from hitting him. A rescue team brought him down the mountain on a sled to an ambulance,

transporting him to a helicopter to the nearest hospital.

In the helicopter, Nussbaum realized the severity of his situation as he listened to the first responders’ concerns about his condition. According to EMTs, he needed to get to the closest hospital for fear that the bone sticking out of his leg had cut an artery, potentially causing him to bleed out.

Despite the dire situation, Nussbaum tried to stay positive by cracking jokes.

“The one thing I could control at the time was my outlook on the situation,” Nussbaum said. “I had to find what joy I could.”

Nussbaum underwent

several surgeries and remained in the hospital for a week and a half before being transferred to an acute care rehabilitation facility near Los Angeles. There, he lived with his sister for several months while in a wheelchair until he was cleared to walk again in May.

Nussbaum spent the early days of his recovery learning what he could do. After he was discharged, he set goals with physical therapists and even began working out again in his sister’s home gym.

“I wanted to be as independent as possible,” he said.

After returning home, he went to EōS Fitness in Encinitas. Nussbaum enjoyed returning to the gym atmosphere, reconnecting with a fitness community and accessing a variety of workout equipment and outdoor area features.

EōS Fitness recently selected Nussbaum as its “Submit Your Fit” gym-level winner for its Encinitas location. The contest recognizes gym members with transformational stories of how fitness has improved their lives.

Nussbaum still has some physical limitations, but his recovery so far is beyond expectations. He has even returned to snowboarding, although he promises never to make any big jumps again. Despite his positive outlook, recovering from his injuries wasn’t easy and took its emotional toll.

“It’s okay not to be okay sometimes, but it’s not okay to stay there,” Nussbaum said. “We have a responsibility to those who are there for us to make a genuine effort to be there for ourselves.”

“biggest hot dog parking lot in North County.”

Court filings also reference anonymous posts containing threatening language referencing Settoon and another woman, including statements like “payback is coming,” “you will pay,” and graphic descriptions of sexual violence.

Along with the Morrises, the defamation complaint mentions 15 unnamed “does” that Settoon argues are liable for defamation. Ten of them are entities or persons that Settoon “is informed and believes” employed Jeff or Kim Morris and allowed them to make defamatory online posts using their servers or digital equipment.

Akins said they will be bringing forward evidence to support these claims as the case moves forward.

Sgt. Heather Bruton of the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station said law enforcement did not attempt to trace the IP address or addresses behind the anonymous posts during the course of their investigation because the District Attorney’s Office did not direct them to do so.

The District Attorney’s Office declined to comment on what investigative methods were and were not used.

However, attorneys for Settoon said Morris has not filed this form or turned over his firearms since being served on June 26. This constitutes a violation of the restraining order — a potential felony — even though the order is no longer active as of July 14.

In a July 7 post in the Facebook group Encinitas Uncensored, Kim Morris noted that the sheriff’s investigation had been dropped and that she had deactivated the Encinitas Watchdog page. She did not respond to requests for comment regarding the defamation suit filed days later.

“Hopefully we can all move past this negative year and focus on more ways to be better people. I have stepped away from social media as it will get in your head and make you crazy,” Kim Morris said in her post.

More charges?

In addition to the defamation case, Settoon has reported other possible criminal violations assigned a case number by the sheriff’s department, alleging that Morris breached a temporary restraining order by failing to file a receipt for firearms and firearm parts.

Persons served with a temporary restraining order are required to file this document, known as a CH-

Attorneys for Settoon said they know Morris has firearms because he turned them over to an arms dealer back in December when the initial restraining order was filed against him. In a May 3 post on the Encinitas Uncensored Facebook page, Morris confirmed that he had obtained his firearms again after that order expired.

“Don’t worry, I got my guns back…beat the corrupt Sheriffs, now I’m coming for the Encinitas Illuminati. I don’t lose to SCUM… Fools shouldn’t be lying to the judge. I’m not done with her (Settoon) yet,” the post read.

Despite this, Neuharth said he is not certain whether Morris ever retrieved his firearms, and that regardless, he would not be required to turn them over again because the temporary restraining order is now inactive.

Akins said her hope is that Morris ceases his alleged defamatory and threatening conduct going forward.

“It remains to be seen if he’s going to continue the conduct that we've seen,” Akins said. “For Natalie's sake and that of the other parties, I think it's in every-

Kayak to nirvana water

spot

The water is warming up, and the sun is out. Finally. That’s all I need for my brain to hit auto.

Like the future AI that will someday end up living my life for me, I robotically grab my favorite surfboard, load it up and set my inner GPS for the beach.

As most of you know, however, heading to the beach in summer is not being at the beach in summer.

The roads are packed, parking spots are rare, and a fiberglass highway has sealed off every decent surf spot from Oceanside to En cinitas, and undoubtably, beyond.

Double-parked, I check out the waves at Sea side before being repelled by a tourist spraying a toxic blend that has “Sunscreen” on the unrecyclable plastic container over his large, doughy frame. (The over spray from this has got to be as bad as secondhand smoke; would Encinitas please outlaw this item.)

What few waves are available are being ripped by surfers a fifth my age. My guess is that they are not as welcoming as they are skilled, so I hop back into my vehicle and drive home in a pathetic, self-pitying huff.

Returning my board to its proper stall, I nearly trip over the dusty kayak taking up a large fraction of our garage.

Then it hits me: Why not avoid all the hassle, drive to the bay and bob around with a fishing rod for the remainder of the morning?

Catching something, which I don’t expect to do, would be icing on an al ready appetizing cake.

Loading a kayak into a Honda Element is not that easy. Neither is drag ging a 60-pound plastic hull down to the sand. The good news, however, is that there is plenty of parking, the launch is simple and I am out in deep water with in minutes of arrival.

Seconds later I am moving to a gentle rhythm that correlates with my inner sounds. Drifting to a stop, I cast out and find that the reel is locked up due, no doubt, to my not cleaning the sand and salt water from its gears the last time I used it.

Sometimes happiness is not a matter of choice but of having choices elim inated. With fishing out of the question, I am free to explore the lagoon.

The shallows have at tracted three young egrets that are apparently plung ing their saber-like beaks into the mudflats in search of crabs, worms or shrimp.

One bird waits, kung

fu-still, before striking. I’m not sure if it got the little fish it was stalking.

Jumping mullet have suckered many a naive fisherman into thinking that they’ll bite. They don’t, for the most part. Even if they did, they’re not worth the trouble.

It’s quiet out on the water, peaceful, stress-free and a big change from the hustle and hassle that generally characterizes summertime in Southern California.

Two hours leaves me with aching muscles, sunburned ankles and all the lifting, tying down and cleaning that will follow.

It also leaves me with the types of memories that have rocked me to sleep ever since I fell in love with the rhythm of moving water all those years ago.

New hoops league brings competition, sisterhood

Senior women’s basketball league comes to Carlsbad

By Steve Puterski CARLSBAD

— Local matrons come for the hoops and stay for the sisterhood.

This year, the San Diego Senior Women’s Basketball Association is celebrating its 25th anniversary by expanding to North County and offering a senior women's basketball league through a partnership with Carlsbad by the Sea senior living facility.

The new venture, open to all senior women 50 and older, will start this fall. Practices and games will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Fridays at Pine Avenue Community Center in Carlsbad, according to Karen Blair of the San Diego Senior Women’s Basketball Association.

The league also created a player development committee to assist new and returning elderly players and will offer an Aug. 18 rookie training session before the start of the regular season in September.

“We offer training for rookies to avoid injury,” she said. “We will take care of you. We’ll help you play safe. That’s our goal.”

One of the founding members of the new Carlsbad-based league is Marge Carl, a spry 93-year-old

who started playing basketball during World War II in her native Queens, New York.

James Naismith invented the sport in 1891 with a very different set of rules from today’s game.

For years, players had to shoot with set shots (no jumping) and weren’t allowed to cross half-court, forcing them to pass the ball across the center line

to another group of players in the offensive zone.

Despite her opposition to the half-court rule, Carl quickly became hooked on hoops.

In 1994, Carl said she came across the San Diego Senior Women’s Basketball Association, a group of women wanting to remain active through basketball.

Since then, the league has grown in popularity

with more than 100 players of different skill levels and age divisions.

Carl’s team, the San Diego Splash (affectionately known as the Splash Sisters), is the organization’s oldest — with players in their 80s and 90s — and most recognizable team.

ESPN released a short documentary on the team, “Make a Splash,” as part of the network’s W. Studios

Fifty/50 Shorts.

In the film, fellow Splash teammate Nina Duncan warned people of Carl’s skills on the court.

“Marge will be 90 soon, you can’t stop her shots,” Duncan said.

Oceanside resident Grace Larsen, 97, is currently the captain of the San Diego Splash. Larsen and others are planning to spend an afternoon in

a booth promoting the new senior women's hoops league from 2:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 2 at Carlsbad Farmers Market on State Street between Carlsbad Village Drive and Grand Avenue.

“It’s a sisterhood and basketball saved my life,” Carl said. “When I hurt my back, they helped me get me back. Every one of them.”

Di Meredith, president of the San Diego Senior Women’s Basketball Association, said the league is a source of pride, joy, and comradery among older women.

The organization also offers players the chance for stiff competition, including an opportunity to play at the National Senior Games.

Meredith, a basketball lifer who plays and coaches in the league, was raised in north Texas and grew up playing hoops on her dairy farm. She continued to play in junior college before coaching for seven years and eventually joined the senior women’s basketball league in 2009.

“I thought my basketball career was over and it was a nice treat,” Meredith said. “The women do things besides play basketball. You find friends and it’s a whole community that I didn’t have before.”

A Petition for Probate has been led by Bonnie M. Chapman in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego.

The Petition for Probate requests that Bonnie M. Chapman be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the le kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal

representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person les an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as

follows: Date: November 21, 2023; Time: 10:30 AM; in Dept.: 504. Court address: 1100 Union St., San Diego CA 92101, Central Courthouse.

The department’s in person instructions, MSTeams video conference link, MS Teams conference phone number, and assigned conference ID number can be found at www.sdcourt. ca.gov/ProbateHearings. Plan to check 15 minutes prior to the scheduled hearing time.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or le written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must le your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of rst issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as de ned in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS

In 1973, Nissim Kahlon was living in a tent on a beach north of Tel Aviv, Israel, the Associated Press reported. He started scratching into a sandstone cliff wall along the beach, and eventually excavated a cave and moved in. Fifty years later, his created home is a sandcastle, with multiple floors, staircases, detailed mosaic floors and plumbing. But now Israel’s Environmental Protection Ministry is moving to evict Kahlon, saying the structure is illegal and threatens the coastline. He said he first got a demolition order in 1974, but since then the government has left him alone, even connecting his home to the electrical grid. “I am not leaving here,” Kahlon, 77, said. “I am ready for them to bury me here. I have no other home.” [AP, 7/12/2023]

BUT WHY?

French President Emmanuel Macron now has the singular distinction of being the first French head of state to receive a body part in the mail, the Evening Standard reported. On July 10, a severed finger belonging to a “living human being” arrived at the Elysee Palace, where it was “initially put in a fridge where the police put their snacks,” a source said. “This was to make sure it was preserved and could be analyzed as

quickly as possible.” The former owner of the digit was identified and given “full medical support,” but it was unclear what the meaning behind the delivery was. [Evening Standard, 7/13/2023]

THE TECH REVOLUTION

The Toronto Zoo has a favor to ask of visitors to Nassir the gorilla: Please don’t show him photos or videos on your phone. Like any other 24-year-old primate, Nassir is “fascinated by videos, and screen time would dominate his life if he had it his way,” according to the zoo’s website. The Toronto Star reported that Maria Franke, director of wildlife conservation and welfare, is noticing the effect of visitors sharing their content. “It was causing him to be distracted and not interacting with the other gorillas ... He was just so enthralled with gadgets and phones and the videos.” A sign now warns visitors: “Some content can be upsetting and affect their relationships and behavior within their family.” Phones down, humans. [Toronto Star, 7/7/2023]

PRECOCIOUS

An 8-year-old boy faces multiple charges, including first-degree robbery, after he carjacked a vehicle at gunpoint on July 11 in Montgomery, Alabama, WSFA-TV reported. Officers tried to stop the car, but the little driver wouldn’t stop and later crashed into another car. A witness, “Snake” Knapp, said he saw

the kid pick up two adults along the way. “I think parents just really need to know where their kids are, what their kids are doing,” Knapp mused. [WSFA, 7/11/2023]

EWWWW Doctors at the Wright-Patterson Medical Center near Dayton, Ohio, presented a case in the New England Journal of Medicine on July 6 that detailed a man whom they diagnosed with “hairy tongue.” Gizmodo reported that the 64-year-old consulted with doctors when he developed a green, fuzzy layer on his tongue. He was prescribed antifungals, but they didn’t help. Hairy tongue occurs when keratin causes a buildup of papillae, the tiny projections on the tongue. The man was directed to scrub his tongue with a toothbrush four times a day and stop smoking, and the green fuzz disappeared. [Gizmodo, 7/12/2023]

WELCOME TO MY FETISH Lakewood, Colorado, police are searching for a serial panty thief, The Denver Gazette posted on July 6. The unknown suspect, described as having short black hair, a black goatee, dark eyes and a muscular build, allegedly lifts women’s underwear from laundry rooms at the Lakewood Towers at Belmar apartments. Over the course of at least 26 incidents, he “has taken approximately $4,881 worth of items,” Lakewood police said. [Denver Gazette, 7/6/2023]

ANIMAL ANTICS

— People living in the Travis Heights neighborhood of Austin, Texas, are thinking twice about venturing outdoors — and it’s not because of the heat. A red-shouldered hawk is terrorizing pedestrians — to the point that U.S. mail delivery has been suspended in the area indefinitely, KTBC-TV reported. “Imagine walking out of your house and knowing that you’re going to get punched in the back of the head by an animal with large talons,” said Alfred Del Barrio. He said he avoided the hawk on a run because he saw its shadow. Nicole Netherton of the Travis Audubon Society said the hawk is protecting its young. “Trying to ignore them so that they can get their business and breeding done is probably the best advice,” she said. State and federal laws protect migratory birds. Meanwhile, residents are asked to pick up their mail at a local post office until further notice. [KTBC, 7/10/2023]

— A wedding at Maison Albion in Albion, New York, recently sported an unexpected extra member of the wedding party, People reported. J, a llama, was hired to be a surprise groomsman by the bride’s mother, who knew her daughter wants to own a llama farm one day. Llama Adventures provided J and outfitted him in a tux that made him look as if he was wearing white gloves and standing on two legs, and he gamely stood with the other groomsmen

as the nuptials took place. “The bride was absolutely delighted,” said photographer Cathy Craft, “and the guests thoroughly enjoyed it.” [People, 7/7/2023]

POLICE REPORT

Quincy, Illinois, police are hunting for a rabbit, NBC Chicago reported. Early on July 6, someone wearing a full bunny suit entered the Winners Wash Laundromat and rifled through drawers, stuffing several items into a backpack. Surveillance video caught the fuzzy culprit, who has not been identified. Quincy police are hopping mad and seeking leads. [NBC Chicago, 7/7/2023]

LEAST COMPETENT

CRIMINAL

KLKN-TV reported that on July 11, an unnamed 20-year-old man from Lincoln, Nebraska, was pulled over near Norfolk as he drove his motorcycle at speeds up to 106 mph. The driver had a suspended license and, in fact, had just left the Stanton County Courthouse, where he had been sentenced for ... driving with a suspended license and speeding. The judge had ordered him to pay fines for both offenses. He was charged again and bonded out of jail. [KLKN, 7/11/2023]

THE CONTINUING CRISIS

The Nikko Japanese Steak and Sushi Bar in Pace, Florida, has closed after an incident in June, WSB-TV reported. The Santa Rosa County Sher-

iff’s Office investigated after seven people were hospitalized following meals at the restaurant, finding that bottles and packets of soy sauce tested positive for methamphetamine. But no charges were filed, as detectives could not determine who contaminated the food “due to lack of witness observations and surveillance footage.” On July 7, the restaurant’s owners announced on Facebook that they would be closing: “Today, a family-owned and operated business is closed, and 20 employees are out of work, all because of the power of social media,” the post read. [WSB, 7/11/2023]

SEEMS LIKE A BAD IDEA

The crater of the inactive Teoca volcano outside Mexico City is home to a football pitch where 10 teams play each weekend, Yahoo! News reported on July 10. “It’s a unique pitch,” said player Adrian Garcia. A league representative said the field is about 70 years old; before it was converted to a sports venue, it was a ceremonial site. Goalkeeper Daniel Mancilla Pena called it a “very nice setting to play football.” Yeah, well, Mexico sits on the Ring of Fire, a seismically and volcanically active zone, so make sure you don’t have much stoppage time.

Days afternoon Owners, dogs turn out for Pupologie Cardiff Dog Days of Summer

By Kaila Mellos ENCINITAS

The Encinitas Community Park was filled with vendors, music, and plenty of dogs on July 16 to celebrate the 18th annual Pupologie Cardiff Dog Days of Summer, presented by Cardiff 101 Main Street and the City of Encinitas.

—

The free event featured numerous dog-related vendors, rescue groups, pet adoption agencies, and an obstacle and agility course for dogs to show off their skills.

Local officials, including Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner and Cipriano Vargas, a representative for Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer, presented proclamations to Alison Wielechowski, executive director of Cardiff 101, in recognition of the popular Dog Days event honoring our four-legged friends.

On the main stage, the San Diego Fire Department officials introduced Cory, a search-and-rescue dog..

Other demonstrations included an Urban K9 Obstacle Course led by K9 Coach J.T. Clough and a lure activity sponsored by SwiftPaws.

The event also featured a host of dog contests on

the main stage, handing out awards for best-looking big dog, best-looking medium dog, best-looking small dog, best dressed, best trick, cutest puppy, owner and dog lookalike, and silver facess.

To the side of the main stage, an area dubbed “Rescue Row,” presented by the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, featured dogs looking for their forever homes.

All Rescue Row event proceeds were donated to Rancho Coastal Humane Society, whose focus is to rescue, shelter, and find homes for companion animals while promoting humane ideals through education and community outreach.

The city’s “Pet Health Expo” was also providing pet micro-chipping in part nership with San Diego Humane Society to ensure all animals have up-to-date information in case a pet be comes lost.

The Libation Lounge featured refreshments from Lost Abbey, Wings and Ar row, Boochcraft Hard Kom bucha, Ashland Hard Selt zer, Seaborne Cocktails, and !mprov non-alcoholic cock tails. Visitors could find a break from the sunshine un der one of many Neso shade tents across the grounds.

Educational Opportunities

Savage Gardens: ‘The Real and Imaginary World of Carnivorous Plants’

Now open at San Diego Botanic Garden

Explore the bizarre and captivating world of carnivorous plants with Savage Gardens, a new exhibition at San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas. Now through October 29, the traveling showcase presented in partnership with Ohio based Tork Collaborative Arts, features hundreds of real carnivorous plants that feast on insects,

along with three larger-thanlife installations inside and around the Garden’s 8,000 square foot, glass-enclosed Dickinson Family Education Conservatory. Visitors of all ages will delight in getting a bug’s eye perspective of these unique plants with 10 to 15foot interpretations of multiple Sarracenia Trumpets, a walk-in Fanged Pitcher Plant Nepenthes, and an interactive Venus Flytrap. Recreated to look and feel like a swampy bog habitat where carnivorous plants are typically found, the Conservatory is transformed to high-

light these fascinating and often misunderstood plants with educational elements that explain why carnivorous plants have evolved to eat insects. Vendors will also be featured on select weekends selling plants, potting materials, and other merchandise for visitors to enjoy. Entrance to the exhibition is included with Garden admission. Members are free, non-member admissions range from $10-$18. The Garden is open six days a week from 9 am to 5 pm, closed Tuesdays. To learn more and book your tickets, visit www.sdbg.org.

Our Top 3 benefits of Summer Music Camps

Summer is just starting, and for most of us, we may look back on our endless, carefree summer days of childhood with fondness and joy.

However, now that you are a parent, you may have mixed feelings about this season. How will we manage childcare?

The best answers to these questions can be summed up in three words: SUMMER MUSIC CAMPS!

Not only is summer camp fun, but did you know that there are a wide range of benefits of summer music camps for children?

Here are our Top 3

Benefits:

1. Personal Growth, Learning, and Development

Music camps are a great way to keep your child learning music and retaining what they learned throughout the year.

2. Positive Role Models

Camps give an opportunity to interact with positive adult role models who are musicians. Forming these role model relationships can help kids develop the confidence, self-esteem, and skills they need

to succeed in school and life.

3. Socializing and Friendship Building

A summer camp program provides a safe environment for children to develop social skills, decision-making skills, and even experience the many different ways to learn music!

Music Camps offers an exciting, inspiring week within a safe, welcoming environment that will help them grow as musicians and individuals.

Van Praagh said. “It might be forgiveness, ‘I miss you,’ closure, unfinished business. And I’m the conduit for that work.”

And even during the course of daily living, Van Praagh said he is frequently visited by “spirit people.”

“I see dead people all the time,” Van Praagh said. “I was born this way.”

Skeptics

Over the course of his long career, the self-proclaimed clairsentient has faced considerable skepti-

cism and scrutiny. In 1994, Van Praagh appeared in a special segment on “Unsolved Mysteries,” highlighting parents who went searching for answers after their son had fallen to his death while climbing Mt. Fuji in Japan.

Despite entering their meeting with Van Praagh with trepidation, Sue and Don Raskin said they were impressed by Van Praagh’s abilities, especially when he mentioned the couple’s miscarriage 33 years earlier.

“When he told us about these events and named all the people that had been gone for many, many years, he was able to get their personalities so right on,” Sue Raskin said during the episode. “There’s just no possible way.”

During the episode, Van Praagh later met with a group of individuals randomly selected by the show’s producers. The group included professor Michael Shermer, executive director of The Skeptics Society and publisher of Skeptic magazine, who said Van Praagh’s performance was nothing more than a magic trick consisting of calculated guesses and general statements.

“Van Praagh is a mentalist,” Shermer said

during the episode. “A mentalist is a magician doing an act. He’s doing what we call ‘cold reading.’ You meet somebody you’ve never seen before and you tell them things about them. You start general, you throw things out rapid-fire, you watch their facial expressions to see if

you’re getting hits or misses. When you get a miss, you go right on to the next thing. When you get a hit, you follow that ’til the end, until they start saying no again. And then you go to the next thing. And you keep doing that.”

Others have been less diplomatic, calling Van

Praagh a “snake oil salesman” making money off vulnerable individuals desperately seeking to communicate with a lost loved one.

Van Praagh acknowledged there are plenty of bogus fortune tellers looking to manipulate people and make a quick buck, but that’s not him. For Van Praagh, his gift is something he treats with care and wishes to share with others in the hope that it may offer someone a new perspective or a positive boost.

“In every field, there are people without integrity, not just psychics,” Van Praagh said. “It upsets me because I have a lot of integrity. It’s very sacred work, but television producers make it look like a circus act. I never sold my soul — through Hollywood, television shows — I’ve always been true to myself.”

An Evening of Spirit with James Van Praagh will be held at 7 p.m. on July 28 at the Seaside Center for Spiritual Living, 1613 Lake Drive, Encinitas, CA, 92024. Tickets are $75-$135.

The VIP event begins at 5:45 p.m. and includes a pre-event reception with Van Praagh, appetizers and cocktails.

ADUS CONTINUED FROM 3

their parents, or for their grown children so they can stay in the community, and they run into the fire zone and the grading issue consistently,” he said.

The relaxed regulations would still include specific setback requirements, depending on the zone, to limit negative impacts on the natural area.

As previously reported by The Coast News, the passage of several state laws has made it notably easier for California residents to construct ADUs in the past few years.

Another hurdle for North County cities is finding ways to incentivize deed-restricted, low-income ADUs, since many count on these types of dwelling units to satisfy state-mandated requirements for low-income housing.

In neighboring Del Mar, one of the county’s most expensive and affluent cities, an ADU Incentive Pilot Program offers developers and property owners a 500-square-foot floor area bonus if they agree to rent out the ADU to low-income households for at least 30 years.

Carlsbad Jewelry teams up with artist Gabrielle

Front Porch Gallery and Carlsbad Jewelry each have a long-standing relationship with the North County San Diego community. Both businesses share a common mission: to create artwork and jewelry that encapsulate the beauty of Carlsbad, drawing inspiration from its people, places and elements.

Now, the pair is gearing up for an artistic collaboration that will showcase jewelry and art from locals. From July 22 to July 30, visitors of the shops can expect free jewelry repair, 35% off jewelry and meet and greets with local artists.

Rob Jewels, owner of Carlsbad Jewelry, explained that the objective of this partnership is to display the abundant creativity in Carlsbad, providing both customers and locals with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of art and jewelry.

With years of experience in the jewelry industry, Jewels has successfully cultivated an extensive list of dedicated and loyal clientele. Several years ago, Jewels decided to plant roots in Carlsbad, embracing the cities vibrant community.

“Carlsbad Jewelry has always looked for ways to be more integrated into our love-

ly community through building comradeship and adding value to such collaborations,” Jewels explained.

The sense of connection that Jewels developed with Carlsbad, coupled with the presence of talented artists in the area, served as the driving force behind his decision to pursue this collaboration.

“Front Porch Gallery is here to connect, inspire and engage. Carlsbad Jewelry is proud to engage in this beautiful connection of community creativity and expression,” Jewels explained. “Art is all about creative expression and design...something that is reflected in the art of making jewelry as it is one of the oldest forms of art. Carlsbad

Jewelry is proud of hosting such a local artistic event because we love bringing creativity, beauty, and connection to Carlsbad community.”

One of the artists showcasing her work is Julia “Gabrielle” Benot. Benot has a

deep history with artistic expression and has formed a group of like-minded individuals.

“We are a group of female artists known as Artezza Group. Together, we bring a diverse range of artistic styles and mediums to our clients, fulfilling their needs for unique custom art,” Benot explained. “One such artist is Hailey Sullivan, who is also showcasing her incredible artwork at the show. This is an exciting moment for her as she is presenting her very first piece in a unique finish of mixed media with gold leaf, rhinestones, and an ultra-modern glass frame.”

Benot and Artezza Group’s connection to Carlsbad Jewelry and Front Porch Gallery represents the stores immersion within the community.

“Front Porch Gallery has provided us with a fantastic opportunity to showcase our artwork and reach a wid-

er audience. Through their collaboration with Carlsbad Jewelry, we are able to display our pieces alongside beautiful jewelry, creating a unique and captivating experience for art and jewelry lovers alike,” Benot explained.

Annette Speed is another local artist displaying her work.

“Carlsbad is a very peaceful place to do art in, plus I live in Carlsbad,” Speed explained. “I want to share the beauty of art.”

In addition to the monthlong collaboration, there will be several jewelry & art parties at the shops.

From 1p.m. to 5p.m. on Saturday July 22 and Saturday July 29, guests can browse artwork, eat, drink and mingle amongst the local artists.
