lice have publicly identified a homicide suspect and his victim, both now deceased after reports of a domestic dispute ended with a man exchanging gunfire with police before allegedly taking his own life.

Oceanside Police responded to multiple calls about a family disturbance and apparent gunshots at approximately 11:56 p.m on June 22 in the 500 block of Fredricks Avenue.

Police discovered

34-year-old Kimberly Foster of Oceanside inside a residence dead from multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators gathered evidence at the scene that indicated she had been gunned down by a man she had been dating, 28-year-old Dorian Larkin, of Oceanside.

At approximately 2:38 a.m. on June 23, deputies from Riverside County Sheriff’s Office located Larkin driving on Interstate 15 near Winchester Road in

ACTOR ALAN ARKIN DIES

ENCINITAS

— In the wake of the recent death of 15-year-old Brodee Champlain-Kingman, killed in a traffic collision while riding his e-bike, the Encinitas City Council unanimously ratified a local traffic safety emergency declaration concerning e-bikes and bikes during a June 28 special meeting.

The proclamation stated that e-bikes are faster and heavier, a factor in collisions that tend “to lead to more severe injuries and subsequent hospitalization rates when compared to regular bikes.”

“My hope is to elevate this conversation about bicycling and safety to alleviate any other tragedies like we’ve recently experienced,” Mayor Tony Kranz said in the opening remarks of the meeting.

The number of crashes involving bicycles or e-bikes in Encinitas has nearly tripled since 2020, city officials said, from a total of 17 collisions in 2020 to 48 reported crashes in 2022.

Since the beginning of this year, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department has reported 11 e-bike-involved collisions in Encinitas. Bicycle collisions are highest during the summer months between June and September, according to the city.

The council adopted new safety measures modeled after a similar declaration made by the Carlsbad City Council last August following a spike in e-bike collisions. According

Solana Beach gets Measure S boost

By Laura Place SOLANA BEACH

— A one-cent sales tax adopted by Solana Beach voters last November is projected to bolster the city’s budget by over $4 million each of the next two years, providing crucial funding for things like maintenance and public safety efforts.

The Measure S tax was put on the ballot as a new source of revenue for street maintenance, public safety services, and maintaining safe and clean public spaces like beaches and parks.

The ballot measure was approved by over 66% of voters in the 2022 election, increasing the total sales tax in the city from 7.75% — factoring in existing state and SANDAG-imposed taxes — to 8.75%, one of the highest in San Diego County.

Measure S has brought in an estimated $750,000 in its first two months since going into effect in April. In the 2023-24 fiscal year that began July 1 and the following 2024-25 fiscal year, city leaders expect the tax to bring in $4.4 million annually.

Revenue from the tax is part of the city’s general fund, but leaders are careful to separate Measure S funds from the rest of the budget. Finance Director Rachel Jacobs said this is because of proposed legislation on the 2024 ballot focused on increasing transparency around local taxes.

“There is currently the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act Initiative, which could pose some issues related to the spending of that money, and that’s why we’re kind of tracking it separately to wait to see how that turns out,” Jacobs said.

Under the act, state and local officials must clearly define how proposed tax increases would be spent and clarify the differences between taxes and fees. All state and locally proposed taxes would also require voter approval by a two-thirds majority.

Millions in Measure S funds are already spoken for in budgets for these next two years, adopted by the Solana Beach City Council on June 28.

A total of $674,000 will go toward the La Colonia Playground Project, construction expected to begin

this fall, and $60,000 will go toward management costs for the tax itself.

Starting this year and continuing over the next four years, the city will also begin allocating hundreds of thou-

ing money for unfunded pension and benefit liabilities. This includes contributions to the PARS (Public Agency Retirement Services) and OPEB (Other Post-Employment Benefits) trust funds.

The city transferred around $800,000 into this PARS fund over the last fiscal year, bringing the current balance to just over $4 million. Over the next two years, the city anticipates adding around $180,000 to the fund.

sands of Measure S dollars to the asset replacement reserve to fund a $2.2 million new fire truck and $1.25 million fire engine.

Councilmember Dave Zito said while Measure S funds are ultimately part of the general fund, the city should not depend on the tax for recurring costs like replacing fire trucks.

“Measure S was supposed to be more than what we’ve been doing so far, and we should [already] be planning to replace our fire truck,” Zito said at a June 14 meeting.

City Manager Greg Wade said while they are re lying somewhat on Measure S to fund a new fire truck, the tax also allows the city to save for the new fire engine.

“The engine, we’re get ting a head start on,” Wade said. “The fire truck, to be honest, snuck up on us, and we have the money avail able, so we will be making a concerted effort to replen ish those asset replacement funds.”

Budget highlights

Within Solana Beach’s $28 million budget for 2023-24, the city plans to spend $13.5 million on cap ital projects.

The majority, $8.3 mil lion, will go toward pedestri an and biking improvements along Lomas Santa Fe Drive, including a multi-use trail, widened sidewalks, extend ed curbs, and improved ADA access.

Additional capital im provement projects for this year include the $710,000 annual pavement man agement project and the $500,000 for further plan ning for the city’s Marine Safety Center and the Mea sure S-funded La Colonia playground.

management.

At a June 28 meeting, Councilmember Jewel Edson emphasized the importance of keeping a conservative budget mindset and accounting for the rising costs of construction materials, general inflation, and the continued possibility of a recession.

“I don’t believe the sky is falling, [but] I do believe it’s best to take a conservative approach,” Edson said. “The budget before us tonight supports that approach.”

“I am a big fan of the PARS trust fund and want to keep socking away money as much as we reasonably can,” Edson said.

The largest sources of revenue for the city’s general fund are property tax, accounting for roughly 36%, and sales and use tax at 16% starting this fiscal year.

For general fund expenditures, approximately 45% goes toward public safety, 18% to general government costs and 12% to public works. The remainder is split between community development, community services, internal service funds

I don’t believe the sky is falling, [but] I do believe it’s best to take a conservative approach.”

State split ideas going to new lows

The idea of splitting California into two states is nothing new. No place as large as California, with its almost 170,000 square miles and its largest in the nation population of 39.2 million — even after losing 600,000 residents in the last few years — will ever be immune from people who believe smaller is better, as ex-Gov. Jerry Brown loudly proclaimed in the 1970s.

As early as the 1940s, some in California’s most northern reaches began seeking a divorce from the rest of the state. Their proposal has never earned a legislative or popular vote above the county level.

Supporting foster youth

By Jim Desmond

At the recent Board of Supervisors meeting, I put forward a necessary action to support Assembly Bill 1512, which holds significant importance for the welfare of foster youth.

The issue at hand revolves around the historical practice in California counties where, upon the unfortunate circumstance of a child's parents passing away, foster care youth’s Social Security benefits were collected by the counties.

The counties utilized these funds to cover the expenses associated with the care of these children.

However, this approach inadvertently contributed to an unfortunate trend of foster youth experiencing homelessness.

Fortunately, San Diego County recognized the flaws in this system and took the initiative to reform

Dear Editor,

the practice earlier this year. In San Diego, the Social Security benefits allocated to foster care youth are now deposited into a reserve account, where they remain untouched until the child reaches the age of 16.

This change ensures that these funds are safeguarded and available to support the youth's needs more responsibly and beneficially.

Assembly Bill 1512, advocated for at the Board of Supervisors meeting, seeks to extend this reform statewide.

If passed, the bill would require all counties in California to follow San Diego County’s example by directing the funds into a reserve account for each foster child.

Moreover, the proposed legislation also mandates that counties provide financial planning services to foster youth.

This addition is crucial

as it empowers these young individuals with the knowledge and skills to make sound financial decisions and set a foundation for a more promising future.

San Diego County has emerged as a leader in implementing these reforms, recognizing the importance of protecting and nurturing the financial well-being of foster youth.

The hope is that other counties throughout California will emulate their progressive approach and adopt similar practices.

By doing so, they can improve the lives of foster youth statewide, ensuring that these vulnerable individuals have the necessary resources and support to thrive and overcome their challenges.

lives in El Dorado County.”

Her sentiment echoed feelings in many Northern California counties, some of whose people have tried for decades to create a new 21-county State of Jefferson, which would putatively include everything from the Oregon state line south to the Sacramento and San Francisco Bay areas.

Since then, other splitting proposals have attempted to carve the state into seven parts, or three, or cut it in two along vertical north-south lines that would separate coastal counties from those a little bit inland.

But until recently, all such plans called for large new states — smaller than California, but nothing like Wyoming or Alaska, whose areas are large, but support populations of 700,000 or less.

Now, though, some folks in two counties that feel neglected want out. Last fall, voters in San Bernardino County — with the largest acreage of any American county — voted by a 50.6% majority to study separating from California to form a one-county state. Half a year later, that study has yet to begin in earnest.

More recently, a separatist movement has arisen in El Dorado County, best known for containing part of the gorgeous Lake Tahoe. The El Dorado portion includes what many consider Lake Tahoe’s prettiest area, Emerald Bay, and its rocky Fannette Island, whose permanent population has never exceeded one. That was a sometime 19th century English sea captain who built his own tomb and chapel on the peaked islet he considered a paradise.

El Dorado County’s population is somewhat larger than that at 193,000, but South Lake Tahoe remains its biggest city, with 21,350 residents. The county seat of Placerville has half as many folks, while other towns like Grizzly Flats, Pollock Pines and Camino are far smaller.

But that doesn’t matter to some residents of the county, who now support statehood for their large, mostly mountainous and wooded county.

“We all know that our problem is representation,” complained one statehood supporter. “We don’t have a voice. We don’t have one representative in state or federal government that

The state capitol would be in Redding, largest city in the area and the Shasta County seat.

Statehood activists in those counties long sought to ally with rural Oregon counties to make a somewhat larger state.

But rural Oregon now appears more bent on trying the “Greater Idaho” concept, seeking to move the Idaho state line west to take in virtually all of Oregon east of the Cascade mountain range. Because that, like Jefferson, would probably take a statewide yes vote, it’s highly unlikely, but still a fun fantasy for a lot of folks.

That’s also pretty much the situation in both San Bernardino and El Dorado counties, which lack many resources needed to sustain a state.

Such realism, though, never dents enthusiasm for independence. That’s how it is in El Dorado, where statehood supporter Sharon Durst, 84, believes the county could appeal directly to Congress to separate it from California, even though some western parts of the county are effectively rural bedroom suburbs of the state capital of Sacramento.

“We think we have grounds to stand on (with) the fact that El Dorado was actually a county before California was a state,” she wrote in an online essay. “It is impossible to believe that the men who wrote the Declaration of Independence would be of a mind to hold a people hostage of an oppressive state any more than an oppressive king.”

Much of that could also have been said by Jefferson advocates and those behind all the other 40-odd state splitting plans that have been proposed for California.

So chances are El Dorado and San Bernardino county enthusiasts won’t get any further than their predecessors.

But these days, few things are absolutely certain.

A Little Moore Café to reopen under new local ownership

Brunch pop-up events planned at Leucadian Bar

By Kaila Mellos ENCINITAS

— After shutting its doors earlier this year, A Little Moore Café is under new local ownership with plans to reopen the popular Encinitas eatery at a new location.

Earlier this year, Encinitas natives Deon Dickey and Andy Vasquez, who both grew up down the street from the café’s original location, purchased A Little Moore, a restaurant beloved by the community for decades.

“It was an opportunity we saw,” Vasquez said. “We stepped in and took ownership, but we will have the same concept. We’re not going to change much. Just up the ante a little bit on all levels of food quality and service. We plan to preserve and conserve Leucadia in Little Moore as much as possible.”

Along Coast Highway 101, landlords opted not to renew their leases with A Little Moore Café, Leucadia Barbershop, Paw Purrfection and Hart & Honey, and the sites were later selected by city lottery as future locations for cannabis dispensaries. Leucadia Barbershop and Paw Purrfection have since relocated.

The four cannabis businesses include Siesta Life Encinitas LLC to be located at 1038 S. Coast Highway (next to Trek Bicycle Encinitas), SGI Encinitas AP LLC at 1030 N. Coast Highway (A Little Moore Café), Humanity Encinitas 4 Inc. at 583 S. Coast Highway (Hart & Honey), and Ecrencinitas4

LLC at 211 N. El Camino Real (next to Cotixan Mexican Food).

Since purchasing A Little Moore from original owner Chang Han a couple of months ago, Dickey and Vasquez have been working on finding a space for the remake of the diner-style restaurant, but “lease negotiations are at a standstill

right now,” Dickey said. When a brick-andmortar front opens, they vowed to offer previous restaurant employees a second opportunity to work at A Little MooreCafé.

“Some of those people, this was their job for about 10 to 15 years before closure in some cases,” Vasquez said. “We’re keeping on the

of

previous owners for a year consulting, so they’re still going to be there every day. We are also offering everyone to try to get their job back so they will get the first chance at it.”

While lease discussions are still in the works, Dickey and Vasquez have arranged A Little Moore pop-up brunch on July 9 at

The Leucadian. The event also serves as a fundraiser, with 10% of all food proceeds going to The First Responders Children’s Foundation, a nonprofit providing college scholarships to children of parents who were killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty.

“We want to build rapport with the community and let them know the transfer of ownership was in good faith, and we’re not here to try to do too much,” Dickey said. “We just want to create a relationship with the community and have exposure to the new items we hope to offer. We’ll spice it up a little bit, but we also want to keep that diner feeling it once had of Leucadia’s funky vibe.”

The pop-up event is 21+ but does have an outdoor family area. Dickey and Vasquez plan to partner with other local Leucadia businesses for raffles and art up for sale.

“If we do a good enough job, we can guarantee a spot (at The Leucadian) during weekend hours as a pop-up until we finalize the lease,” Vasquez said. “We’re tired of being at a standstill, and we know the owners of The Leucadian super well, and they’re letting us do our thing and be creative. So, we’re excited about this.”

The new owners hope to reopen A Little Moore Café by the end of summer.

SDA teacher, photographer Glasgow dies at 74

By Kaila Mellos

ENCINITAS — San Dieguito Academy teacher and avid photographer Neal Glasgow of Cardiff, who spent the last 16 years of his teaching career inspiring Encinitas students, died on June 23 due to complications from surgery related to a stroke.

He was 74.

“He was an invaluable presence, leaving an indelible mark through his various endeavors,” said Peggy Just, Glasgow’s wife, remarked. “From surfing to imparting knowledge as a teacher and ultimately capturing the breathtaking beauty of our community through his remarkable photography.”

A native of Cardiff, Glasgow actually grew up on Glasgow Street, which he referred to as “his street,” and graduated from then-San Dieguito High School before working as a mechanic at Harloff Chevrolet (now Harloff BMW).

Glasgow explored his passion for cars for several years but later returned to San Dieguito High to work as a custodian.

While a custodian, Glasgow discovered his artistic side with ceramics,

prompting him to study pottery at Palomar College.

Glasgow later obtained a bachelor's degree and teaching credentials in art, science and car mechanics at San Diego State University.

In between classes and studying, Glasgow always found time to surf the waves on his way home.

Glasgow started teaching at La Presa Middle

School in Spring Valley in the 1980s and later moved to Piner High School in Northern California, helping establish a charter science school within the existing school district.

Glasgow offered student mentorships focused on collaborating with community experts, such as the staff at Bodega Marine Lab, on various environmental initiatives through-

out Sonoma County.

While working here, Glasgow met this future wife, Just.

The couple later enrolled in graduate school at Stony Brook University in New York, where Glasgow received his master’s degree in education.

While studying for his master’s degree, Glasgow continued teaching ceramics and instructed a bio -

technology course at Stony Brook.

After graduating, Glasgow returned to Encinitas and started teaching at San Dieguito Academy.

“Teaching was his true calling, and Neal spent the last 16 years of his career inspiring others,” Just said.

“His dedication to the field extended beyond the classroom, as he authored over a dozen books to empower educators to excel in the classroom.”

Glasgow and Just raised two sons, Shon and Christian, teaching them surfing and soccer at an early age.

Over the years, Glasgow spent time as a soccer coach for his boys’ teams and the SDA girls’ varsity soccer team.

Upon retirement, Glasgow discovered photography during his frequent nature walks.

Glasgow is survived by Peggy Just, his wife and partner of 30 years, sons Shon and Christian, daughters-in-law Coley and Cassie, five grandsons Ben, Charlie, Miller, Bastian and Finn, and his SDA family.

“The SDA community is saddened by the loss of a long-time teacher, colleague, and friend Neal Glasgow,” said Principal Cara Dolnik of San Dieguito Academy. “He made a lasting impact on students, staff, and families, and his vibe will continue to be felt across the Mustang community. Neal will be missed.”

Residents and visitors in Solana Beach are enjoying improved amenities at Fletcher Cove Beach Park after the recent completion

of a new $400,000 tot lot and resurfaced basketball court.

The popular tot lot was closed for nearly three months to allow the removal of old, worn-down play-

ground equipment and the implementation of a new shaded structure. Along with a bright blue rubberized surface with a whale design, it features a slide, monkey bars, swing set, ADA-accessible disc net climber, and stationary boogie board.

City leaders said the playground was designed to accommodate a wider range of age groups, with activities for children under age 5 like a mini “clubhouse” and sensory panels.

During construction, the city also closed the adjacent basketball court in early June for improvements. Crews resurfaced the cracked concrete with a bright blue design matching the tot lot and upgraded equipment with a new hoop and backboard.

City leaders and community members celebrated the opening of the new playground and court on June 28 with much fanfare, including live music, food, face painting and children enjoying the new equipment.

“It was an incredible day filled with joy, laughter, and a true sense of community spirit. We hope this revitalized space will serve as a hub of fun and enjoyment for families, friends, and neighbors alike. This space belongs to all of us,” the city said in a statement.

Fletcher Cove Beach Park is located at 111 S Sierra Ave and open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Rise in e-bike crashes fuels local safety, regulatory concerns

By Steve Puterski REGION

— The rising number of e-bike collisions in coastal North County San Diego over the past several years has sparked a growing demand for improved safety and regulatory measures for the increasingly popular mode of transportation.

In 2015, the California Legislature reclassified e-bikes — motorized bicycles powered by an electric battery— in Assembly Bill 1096 authored by former Assemblyman David Chiu (D-San Francisco).

Previously, e-bikes had been classified as “motorized bicycles.” However, the law, passed without any safety or impact studies and lobbied by special interest groups, re-classified e-bikes into the same category as traditional human-powered bicycles.

Since the change, and especially in the past four to five years, cities have been grappling with a significant increase in e-bike injuries and deaths. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported cycling deaths have increased by more than 20% statewide from 2018-22.

Last August, two cyclists were killed while riding e-bikes within one week of each other in Carlsbad, prompting the city to declare a local state of emergency, citing a 233% increase in collisions involving bikes and e-bikes since 2019, and launch its Safer Streets Together campaign.

Most recently, a 15-year-old was struck and killed while riding an e-bike last month in Encinitas. The community’s shock over the teenager’s death resulted in the Encinitas City Council ratifying a local state of emergency on June 28 related to e-bikes, bikes and vehicle safety.

What the law changed

In the reclassification of e-bikes, California lawmakers identified three types of e-bikes, none of which are subject to registration, licensing, or insurance requirements applied to vehicles:

1. A Class 1 e-bike has a top assisted speed of 20 mph and must be pedaled to operate;

2. A Class 2 e-bike has a top assisted speed of 20 mph that can be operated without pedaling by using a handlebar-mounted throttle;

3. A Class 3 e-bike has a top assisted speed of 28 mph that must be pedaled to operate. Riders must be at least 16 years old.

The law requires e-bike manufacturers to label each bike with its classification number, top assisted speed and motor wattage. A 750watt e-bike motor, the state

maximum, can produce top speeds of 28 mph. Nearly all e-bikes are permitted in designated California bikeways (bike paths, bike lanes, protected lanes and bike routes) with the exception of Class 3 (not permitted along bike paths or in protected lanes).

A “motorized bicycle,” or moped, is a two- or threewheeled “device” with or without operating pedals powered by electrical energy, an automatic transmission, and a motor of four horsepower or less with a top speed of no more than 30 mph. No one under 21 can be issued a class M1 or M2 license (motorcycles and mopeds, respectively) unless they complete a motorcycle training program.

School reactions

Local school districts have started requiring students to first obtain a permit before riding an e-bike to school. A school district in Orange County even requires payment for students to secure an e-bike license, according to Tim Evanson, executive director of pupil services at Carlsbad Unified School District.

Students riding e-bikes to school in the Carlsbad Unified School District must submit an application and attend a bike/e-bike safety presentation to receive a mandatory permit, a process the district started earlier this year. Evanson said about 10% of the student population rides an e-bike and most of the riders have already attended the safety presentation, which the district plans to make an annual process.

The school district also partners with Carlsbad Police Department, San Diego Bicycle Coalition and California Highway Patrol to offer safety courses and training, including four summer sessions from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on July 10 and Aug. 7 at Poinsettia Elementary School and Sage Creek High School, and Sept. 9 at Poinsettia and Valley Middle School. The fourth date is yet to be determined.

The classes are conducted by the Carlsbad Police Department, which received training through a partnership with the San Diego Bicycle Coalition.

Collision data

In March 2022, Carlsbad police reported 186 collisions from Jan. 1, 2019, through Dec. 29, 2021. Of those, 163 resulted in injuries to one or more parties.

Between January 2020 and July 2021, there were 99 collisions. Of those, the cyclist was determined to be at fault in 72 incidents, according to law enforcement.

Between 2018 and

2022, the Sheriff’s Department reported 235 traffic collisions along local roads in Encinitas, Del Mar and Solana Beach. But collisions involving bicycles and e-bikes in those same cities have increased by 50% last year when compared to 2018, with the majority of incidents occurring in Encinitas.

Lt. Ryan Wisniewski, of the San Diego County Sher-

iff's Department, said while the e-bike collision rate in Encinitas, Del Mar and Solana Beach has risen, e-bike collisions overall are on pace to see a decline this year. As of June 29, just eight e-bike-related collisions were reported compared to 44 incidents in 2022, according to Wisniewski.

But the lower number of collisions has produced devasting outcomes and in-

cludes the recent death of Brodee Champlain-Kingman, 15, of Encinitas, who died after his e-bike collided with a work van on June 23 along El Camino Real.

“It’s way different because you’re not going the same speed as an e-bike,” Wisniewski said. “It’s very popular and they’re fun. I’d much rather see a kid riding a bike than playing video games. But when you see them riding down (Coast Highway) 101 or some of the major thoroughfares like El Camino, they’re going 20 mph on an e-bike and cars are going 50 mph, you’re asking a 12-year-old to make a split-second decision like they’re a regular driver with no driver safety program or training.”

Residents are taking to social media and public meetings to share their apprehension about the growing prevalence of e-bikes along local roadways. Simultaneously, bike enthusiasts continue to stress the dangers of motorists not paying attention to cyclists sharing the road.

The long-time rivalry has played out in public forums, but law enforcement and local governments are

trying to bridge the gap through education and enforcement, according to Wisniewski.

Encinitas resident

James Giles, who recently had a family member involved in a bike-vehicle collision, said drivers must better pay attention as more cyclists are taking to the roads. On June 21, Giles' son, Aiden, was struck by a vehicle and landed on the windshield while riding his bike along El Camino Real. Aiden did not suffer any major injuries.

“I think we need to do more for the cyclists themselves,” James Giles said. “I don’t know what that would look like, but some education and possibly certification would probably be a good thing. We need to change our attitudes about where bicycles belong. I think there’s a general attitude here that the cars own the road and the cyclists don’t belong there.”

According to Wisniewski, a greater concentration of e-bikes appears to be within more densely-populated cities along the coast. In addition, the relatively high cost of an e-bike (between $1,500 to $5,000) places a greater number of e-bikes in more affluent areas, such as Encinitas and Carlsbad.

Wisniewski said cyclists, regardless of age, must learn hand signals and other rules of the road, such as properly changing lanes and coming to a complete stop at stop signs and red lights. Younger e-bike riders with less experience navigating the roads and traveling at a higher rate of speed can have difficulty changing lanes. And that's not accounting for motorists who fail to provide enough space for cyclists.

“You have everyone on the road and they’re not used to seeing all these e-bikes,” Wisniewski said. “Now you got nine, 10, 11 kids on e-bikes, and from a driver’s perspective, they’re not used to seeing that many modes of transportation on the roads all of a sudden.”

Laura Place contributed to this report.

IN 2015, the California Legislature reclassified e-bikes, originally categorized as “motorized bicycles,” into the same category as traditional human-powered bicycles. E-bikes are capable of traveling at speeds ranging between 20-28 mph.

Marine’s invention makes job safer, more efficient

By Staff CAMP PENDLETON

— A Marine who invented a device that allows a single Marine to safely reel and unreel hoses without the help of others hopes to see his invention widely distributed to support other Marine units.

The innovative device created by Sgt. John Evans, a U.S. Marine Corps Bulk Fuel Specialist with 7th Engineer Support Battalion (ESB), can attach to any existing hose reel base unit.

The device allows one Marine to do what usually takes three to four Marines, potentially improving productivity and safety for all bulk fuel specialists and water support technicians.

Evans’ invention enables a Marine to stand at a safe distance of 3 to 5 feet from the hose reel base unit, which should cut down on injuries.

He has already gone operational with a proto-

type model, saving his fellow Marines from extra work and injuries. The voyage Evans’ original drafting underwent, from Microsoft Paint 3D to

implementation, is almost as impressive as the invention itself.

On the same night he created it, and eager to share his invention, Evans

Who hates Steven Singer?

As my wedding anniversary approaches, I’m reminded of days long ago when I’d read personal ads like “SWF, loves long walks on the beach.”

Yet one ad that drew gobs of interest read, “Hunchback dwarf, bad breath, surly attitude.”

Being different, it instantly captured attention. The guy placing the ad met many beautiful women with his unique approach.

Wedding anniversaries also make one think of jewelers. Last week, driving into New York City from Newark Airport, I noticed the simple black billboard screaming, “I hate Steven Singer!”

Why would someone hate Mr. Singer so much that they’ll announce it with a billboard and website?

A Philadelphia jeweler, Mr. Singer supposedly had a customer who bought his wife a ring for their 20th anniversary. The wife loved the ring, and their celebration resulted in an unplanned third child.

Nine months after the jewelry purchase, the couple

came by the store to show off their new baby. The man complained about late feedings and changing diapers, loudly announcing, “I hate Steven Singer.”

Thus, a marketing campaign was born!

Most personal ads shout, “I’m nice!” so they don’t feel threatening. Most jewelry advertising focuses on shiny baubles and images of loving couples.

The hunchbacked dwarf and the angry husband are great stories, and they may even be true. Regardless of their veracity, such tales ignite people’s curiosity, encouraging them to learn more. They’re gimmicks…and they work.

Obviously, neither account I’m sharing fits the traditional mold. Indeed, had either been conven-

tional, most folks wouldn’t have given them a second thought. However, because they were so unusual, they captured attention from their respective audience… which was exactly the idea.

Regardless of the business you’re in, you may also be able to do something out of the ordinary to grab attention and increase sales. Examine what you’re selling and to whom you’re selling it. Then carefully research what your competition is doing, find the common patterns…and do just the opposite.

Announcing your presence in ways that are loud and brash may not be your normal style. But shaking things up with such a strategy could be just what you need to expand your presence in the marketplace.

You’ll immediately stand out from the crowd, get people buzzing about you and sell a lot more.

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

pitched my blueprints to him,” Evans said. “And as fate would have it, the officer of the day that night was a warrant officer who was in charge of the fabrication shop.

“He overheard my conversation and told me to let him know if I needed any help.”

Evans took the officer up on his offer.

After coordination with the warrant officer and 7th ESB leadership, Evans briefed his invention to the First Marine Expeditionary Force (I MEF) command.

The invention received full acceptance and approval from I MEF, and the construction of Evans’ first prototype commenced.

Over the next two years, Evans worked diligently and tirelessly with 1st Maintenance Company to create a working prototype. After much coordination and improvements of his blueprints, the Evans proto-

“I’ve researched roughly what it would cost to make my invention with aircraft aluminum, and I could easily make final product units for under $1,200,” Evans said.

“Not only that but with this budget, higher quality supporting materials could be used, resulting in a durable and effective product that can be packed up and easily transported in the back of a car.”

Innovation has always been at the forefront of Marine Corps tactics and training. As Marines strive toward the requirements of Force Design 2030, the Marine Corps has placed a focus on encouraging innovation as a means of adapting to ever-changing threats and environments.

Evans hopes his invention will be mass-produced and issued to each bulk fuel and water support technician unit.

Pet of the Week

Jedeye is pet of the week at Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She’s a 4½-year-old, 8½-pound, domestic short hair cat with a brown tabby coat.

Jedeye’s former owner neglected her. She was taken to a shelter in Orange County, but the shelter’s veterinary team had to remove her right eye.

Since losing her eye, she has adjusted to her new life. She was transferred to RCHS through Friends of County Animal Shelters.

Jedeye could probably live with kids 8 years or older. She might like living with other cats. Just make sure she has a “hidey box” where she can go when she starts to feel overwhelmed.

The $100 adoption fee includes a medical exam, neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, registered

microchip and a one-year license if the new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services.

For information about adoption or to become a virtual foster, stop by Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza St., Encinitas, call (760) 7536413 or visit SDpets.org.

Tri-City names Ma CEO

By Staff OCEANSIDE

— After a nationwide search, TriCity Healthcare District announced on June 29 the appointment of Dr. Gene Ma to the permanent role of president and chief executive officer of the organization.

Ma has served in the interim president and CEO position since March 2023 following the retirement of longtime CEO Steve Dietlin.

“I am pleased to announce that the board of directors selected Dr. Ma for this incredibly important role,” said Tracy Younger, the new chairperson of TCHD’s seven-member publicly elected board of directors.

Hamilton weighs in

When I began surfing in 1962, it was the latest, all- encompassing fad.

We now had our own language, clothing styles: Ivy League, which seems stupid now (wingtips on the beach?) or the more practical white Levi’s, surf shop T-shirts, Madras plaid shirts, Converse or blue deck shoes.

My parents were glad for any departure from my punk prototype ripped jeans, Army surplus boots and jackets and streaked hair.

Surfer girls (weirdly, you didn’t have to surf to be a surfer girl) were generally casually dressed in cotton dresses, or shorts and oversized T-shirt.

Most SoCal lineups were dominated by young males where only a few girls paddled out with us boys. In my crew, girls were always welcomed into the lineup, and I believe the alleged mistreatment of female surfers to be exaggerated. If anything it seems they got away with shoulder hopping and other offenses no guy ever could.

Oh, well. By the time I arrived on the scene, Linda Benson, Martha Sunn, the Calhouns and Joyce Hoffman were the dominant names in women’s surfing. By the late ’60s, Margo Godfrey Oberg dominated.

Since then, there have been a parade of females like Lisa Anderson and, more re-

cently, Carissa Moore leading a list too long for this column.

One of them made surf history after she lost her arm to a tiger shark, fought past the terror and the pain, and emerged as one of the best in her gender, especially when the waves were heaving over shallow reefs.

Anyone who’s seen the movie “Soul Surfer” or has followed Bethany Hamilton’s story for a while, realizes what an amazing athlete and human being she is.

Bethany has been a top-level competitor for around 15 years, and while she only competes in a select few events, she is now considering retiring.

Not because her best years are behind her, but because the World Surfing League (WSL) has adopted the International Surfing Association (ISA) policy on transgender participation.

Hamilton recently addressed her 2.1 million Instagram followers, saying that while she attempts to be loving to all people, she nonetheless has questions about the transgender inclusion guidelines, such as whether the pro surfers on tour had been asked their

thoughts on the new rules prior to their announcement, and whether hormone levels are an honest and accurate depiction that someone indeed is male or female, and whether this policy is good for the sport of surfing.

“I personally think the best solution would be to create a separate division so all can have an opportunity to showcase passion and talent,” she said, adding, “There’re glimpses of male-bodied dominance in sports such as running and swimming.”

In 2022, transgender surfer Sasha Jane Lowerson won the Western Australian longboarding championships in the women’s division. In 2019, while still identifying as a male, Lowerson, then known as Ryan Egan, won the WA longboarding title before transitioning.

Since surfing is now an Olympic Sport, it seems the WSL announced its transgender policy to be compliant with the International Olympic Committee, which released its latest policy in November.

The IOC stated that it would issue a framework but that ultimately guidelines would be left up to the governing bodies of the sports to determine how an athlete may be at a disproportionate advantage against their peers.

Humane Society waives reclaim fees

By City News Service

REGION — The San Diego Humane Society is waiving reclaim fees for picking up stray pets through July 16, officials said this week.

The SDHS will also extend its Empty the Shelters adoption promotion, cutting adoption fees in half for all adult dogs and cats 7 months and older until July 30.

The organization said statistics show that 1 in 3 pets becomes lost during their lifetime, and only 1 in

10 will be found.

“If they are lost, we want them to return to their family where they belong. If they are available for adoption, we want to find their perfect match in our animal loving community,” SDHS President and CEO Gary Weitzman said.

In 2022, the SDHS took in 275 stray dogs, cats and other small animals and 16% were reclaimed by their owners, officials said.

The nonprofit organi-

“Board members were impressed with Dr. Ma’s longtime commitment to Tri-City, as well as his achievements over the past several months of interim leadership, both of which weighed heavily on our decision.”

Ma is an emergency department physician at Tri-City for over 20 years and a 10-time honoree as one of San Diego Top Doctors in Emergency Medicine.

Prior to his time as interim president and CEO, Ma served in numerous administrative roles within Tri-City, including as chief medical officer from 2019 to 2023, and as chief of staff of the medical cen-

ter’s independent medical staff, a role which he held from 2015 to 2017.

From 2012 to 2022, Ma also served as CEO of WorkPartners, overseeing the turnaround of what would become the region’s dominant occupational health practice.

“It is absolutely the honor of my career to be chosen to serve as president and CEO of this amazing medical center, and to continue to work side-by-side with the dedicated members of the TriCity Family,” Ma said.

“I am so appreciative of every one of our partners, both within the hospital and in our community, and look forward to working

with them to continue to advance our mission.”

The Tri-City board of directors also announced changes to their leadership.

Younger, a health care business owner who lives in Carlsbad, has stepped into the chairperson position.

Rocky Chavez, an Oceanside resident and retired US Marine Corps colonel, stepped down from the chairperson role, a position he has held since 2022.

Dr. Nina Chaya, an anesthesiologist who has served on the board since 2020 and represents Zone 7, will now serve as vice chairperson of the board.

zation also offers programs that provide medical care and community education.

The SDHS is open for walk-in adoptions Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at its campuses in San Diego, Escondido, El Cajon and Oceanside.

The Lost2Found program can be accessed by texting LOST to 858-7265678.

Former players remember larger than life coach

By Noah Perkins

The details have mossed over with time, but Ken Stills remembers the heat; the muscle ache and fatigue; the dry mouth and dehydration.

“It was a different era,” said Stills, a standout defensive back in the El Camino High School Class of 1981. “You could get out there and do it all day in full pads. I don’t remember a lot, but I remember bear crawling and running on that hot football field all day. It was the dog days of summer, but we loved it — we didn’t know any better.”

Two decades later, the kids were different, but the practices stayed the same.

“The practices were very intense,” said Antwain Spann, also a star defensive back (Class of ’01). “We hated two-a-days. Even the guys that loved the sport hated them. They put us through hell.”

Love or hate those long days under the August sun in Oceanside, Stills and Spann agreed they were a necessary foundation for eventual NFL careers — Stills with the Packers and Vikings (198590), and Spann (2005-09) playing for the Patriots after he was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Giants.

“With the Packers, we went all day, every day — El Camino definitely prepared me for the NFL,” Stills said.

“El Camino built me in way, that if I hadn’t gone, I would have struggled,” Spann said. “I was ready for college football day one.”

The constant for El Camino football from 1976 through 2003 was head

coach Herb Meyer. Recently named one of Oceanside’s “Hometown Heroes,” Meyer was the through-line connecting Stills, Spann and several other former NFL players, including Toniu Fonoti, Bryant Westbrook, Dokie Williams, Michael Booker, J.C. Pearson and Toussaint Tyler.

“You form a football family,” Stills said. “All those guys; we always talk about how Herb impacted all of us.”

From 1959 until 1976,

Meyer was the head coach at Oceanside High School, posting a 113-44-6 record. At El Camino, Meyer went 226-104-9, winning eight San Diego Section championships.

Twenty years after he coached his final game, Meyer’s combined record of 339-148-15 remains the highest winning percentage in county history.

Meyer was an old school coach who pushed hard. Both Stills and Spann saw similarities between Meyer

and the head coaches they played under in the NFL.

“He was very stern and knew how to get you to your best,” Spann said. “At the same time, he would crack jokes and was loving – he did it in his own way. He had the same personality as Bill Belichick. They both are very detailed. Coach Meyer taught us techniques and coverages that we were running in the NFL; two guys at the top of their game.”

“Forest Gregg was my head coach [with the Packers], they had a lot in common,” Stills said.

On April 8, Meyer died while on a family vacation in eastern Washington. He was 87, but to his former players he still seemed larger than life.

“Some people you think are going to live forever and he was one of them,” Spann said. “I was hurt; that was someone responsible for why I was able to take my talent and move on to the next level.”

Carlsbad 6U team heads to World Series

By Jordan P. Ingram FALLBROOK

— The Carlsbad Youth Baseball

6U All-Star team punched its ticket to the Pony West Zone Finals in Simi Valley after a thrilling 11-9 comeback victory over Mission Bay at the Shetland regional tournament on July 2 in Fallbrook.

The Carlsbad team, consisting of players ages 3 to 6, finished second in last weekend’s top-two tournament, earning an automatic bid to the “World Series” and bypassing the Super Region next weekend in West Covina.

Struggling early from the batter’s box, at one point Carlsbad trailed by eight runs before battling back to take a two-run lead over Mission Bay in the final inning.

But Carlsbad’s defensive performance won the day, with standout plays from Bowie Valencia and Fynn Garcia preventing Mission Bay from mounting a comeback in its final at-bat.

With two outs, Garcia, 6, a second baseman, was

struck in the head with a ball on an errant throw. Instead of leaving the game, Garcia insisted on playing and made the game-ending out on the next play to seal the win for Carlsbad.

“It’s amazing. These kids showed toughness like

I’ve never seen before,” said Carlsbad head coach Aaron Cuker. “They knew what was at stake, what we had to do. And instead of getting discouraged, they all come together, rallied back, and got the win. To watch 6-year olds with that kind

“I cried,” Stills said. “He was an important guy to me.” In Meyer, Stills and Spann found an additional father figure — someone they could go to when trouble found them, as it often finds teenage boys.

“If I got in trouble, Herb was always there to support me,” Stills said. “We had a place that was shelter, that we could turn if we got in trouble, so we didn’t have to go home to our military parents who we knew were going to whoop our butts.”

As a sophomore, Spann was expelled from El Camino for using marijuana on campus. Meyer let Spann back on the team the following season, but it was a bumpy path back to playing time.

“Herb told me how disappointed he was in me — it was like I had a bright future before that happened, but you are going to have to work your way back,” Spann said. “He made me work my

butt off to get back. I was on the bench. The only time I got back on the field early that year was on special teams.”

After Stills’ playing days ended, he transitioned into coaching, with the help of Meyer, making good on a promise from years earlier.

“Herb told me, ‘Kenny, if you ever need a job when you come back [from Green Bay] you come see me,’” Stills, now the head coach at Bishop McLaughlin Catholic High School, in Spring Hill, Fla., said. “He gave me my first coaching job. I retired, moved back to Oceanside and he put me on his staff and continued to mentor me.”

Twenty-years since his last whistle, in the age of social media and the oft lamented “participation trophy,” could Meyer’s style of coaching work? Undoubtedly, but with more griping.

“You would have a lot more parents complaining,” Spann said with a laugh. “The kids might complain more about how tough he is, but it would still work.”

Meyer is gone, but for Stills, Spann and countless other players, students and community members, the legendary coach’s impact continues to be felt.

“The things he taught me I still teach people to this day,” Spann said.

“His philosophy was, ‘We are only as strong as our weakest link,’ and I took that with me,” Stills said. “We are going to win as a team not as individuals. I enjoy mentoring young men. I was blessed to have it given to me, now I am going to give it to these young men.”

of strength and resilience, it’s just amazing.”

Last season, the Carlsbad 6U All Stars team won its first-ever Pony League regional banner and finished 1-2 at the Pony West Zone Finals.

The Pony West Zone World Series is scheduled for July 13-16 at the Simi Youth Baseball complex in Simi Valley.

In Pool 2, Carlsbad will open the finals against Chino Hills at 4 p.m. on July 13, before taking on Hart Red at 4:30 p.m. on July 15 and wrapping up pool play against East Long Beach at 4 p.m. on July 16. The winner and runner-up from each pool will play in an eight-team, single-elimination tournament for the championship.

The 2023 Carlsbad Youth Baseball 6U All Stars team is Aidan Paulsen, Bowie Valencia, Bradley Gibson, Cole Jacinto, Curren Cuker, Emmett Lohr, Fynn Garcia, Kai Stoughton, Kate Packard, Leonidas Marshall, Lou Shortenhaus, Mateo De La Rosa, and Nixon Andrews.

O’Neill was chosen as the tournament’s MVP and most outstanding midfielder, scoring a team-high equaling 20 points on 15 goals and five assists in seven games.

The U.S. completed the tournament 7-0, including a 7-5 victory over Canada (52) in the tournament opener June 21.

Restaurant Row developer shares new project designs

By Laura Place SAN MARCOS —

Plans for the mixed-use development at the historic Old California Restaurant Row in San Marcos are taking shape, as existing businesses continue to operate until they either move to new locations or close for good.

After purchasing the 10.5-acre property in 2020, company San Marcos Restaurant Row LLC announced plans last fall to develop the site into a new community gathering space with 202 housing units, over 10,000 square feet of commercial space and a new 1.5-acre park.

Since the fall, project developer Lennar Homes has held three community workshops to gather feedback regarding project designs. At the most recent June 28 meeting, developers shared updated plans for the project, including detailed designs for a new park.

“This new neighborhood will celebrate the legacy of Old California Restaurant Row by incorporating a mix of outdoor social gathering areas that lead to the new public park, updated dining offerings and a range of housing options that align with the city’s goals for mixed-use development in this location,” said Lennar San Diego Division President Ryan Green. “As a local resident myself, I’m excited and eager to bring the community’s vision to life.”

The new park space will include a skared to as the “rolling plaza” — and pickleball courts, both of which received overwhelming community support at workshops. It will also feature an open space lawn, a small amphitheater, two

playgrounds for younger and older children, and two dog parks.

According to plans, the rolling plaza will be open to “wheels of all kinds,” including skateboards, scooters and roller skaters. A skate park specialist will also come on board to guide the final design.

Project construction is roughly planned for next spring. The next step, Tendick said, is for the city to share the project’s mitigated negative declaration, expected sometime this month.

The public will have 30 days to review and comment on the environmental review document. It will be posted on the City of San Marcos website’s planning page.

After that, the project team is aiming to have plans ready for review by the San Marcos Planning Commission by the fall. If approved by the commission, the project would then go to the San Marcos City Council.

Existing businesses

As project plans move forward, a small handful of existing businesses within the planned project area are continuing to operate These include Old California Min-

ing Company, The 55 Yardline Sports Bar and Grill, IHOP and Ascend Coffee, formerly known as Old California Coffee Company.

The proposed project area does not include the two buildings on the northeast end of the property or those east of the main restaurant center, including Fish House Vera Cruz, Buffalo Wild Wings, or Cocina Del Charro.

While some are planning to move to new locations, others are planning to close for good in the coming months.

Old California Mining Company will move to a new location at Creekside Marketplace ideally in the next four or five months, owner Nick Ceko said, and be renamed simply as Mining Company. The business has called Restaurant Row home for the past 26 years.

Ceko said they were hoping to be in the new location by this time but that obtaining all the necessary permits has slowed things down. He was able to secure the new property at 579 Grand Ave, formerly Phil’s BBQ, last fall.

“We got ahead of it and we were able to secure that spot, but it’s taken us a lot longer than we expected,”

Ceko said. “It’s been quite an adventure. We've kind of persevered through, at the point where we’re gonna start construction hopefully soon.”

Jim Hadly, owner of 55 Yardline, said his business would sadly be closing for good on Aug. 18. While he looked at various potential properties where they could relocate, he said the cost to build any of them out as a restaurant would have been too expensive.

“Finally, my wife and I and my business partner, we sat down and said ‘No, we’re gonna close,’” Hadly said. “We’ve been 18 years there, so it’s frustrating.”

Ascend Coffee owner Erin Harper said the business is continuing to operate at their current location on a month-to-month basis, but they are currently in talks about a new lease in San Marcos. They also shared plans earlier this year to expand to a Vista location.

“Our goal is to open a second location and continue to operate out of Restaurant Row for as long as we are able,” Harper said. “We are hoping we still have another year in our home store.”

Landon’s East Meets

West, a global fusion restaurant previously located in the same center, closed its doors in March. Thai restaurant King & I of San Marcos did not respond to calls from The Coast News.

Other project plans

In an effort to preserve Restaurant Row’s history, Lennar said the new project will incorporate some of its mission-style design elements, such as aged stucco, Mexican tiles and clay tile roofs. Certain original materials will also be repurposed.

Lennar said the 202 planned units will be separated into three main developments. The Green Court Townhomes will be located near the planned park with 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom options, and the Motor Court Townhomes in the center of the site will feature 2- and 3-bedroom units.

At the south end of the site along West San Marcos Boulevard, the Row Town and Town Over Commercial homes will provide 3-bedroom units located above ground-level commercial retail.

When it comes to parking, developers are relying mostly on shared parking agreements with businesses surrounding the project site, according to plans. The project itself will also provide between 70 and 85 public parking spaces onsite, along with around 400 private spaces for residents.

The design also features three public outdoor spaces along with the new park, as well as green landscaping and pedestrian connections throughout the site.

Information about the Restaurant Row project is available at smrestaurantrow.com. Design materials shared at past workshops are available on the website’s Outreach page.

Brother Benno’s soup kitchen safe for now, but future uncertain

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— Sack lunches and hygiene packs for homeless residents are safe for now at Brother Benno’s soup kitchen, but that could change if there are no improvements to the reported after-hour criminal activity in the Oceanside Industrial Park.

Brother Benno’s is a nonprofit organization that provides a variety of services to homeless individuals, including clothing, mail service, mobile showers and meals. Since first receiving its permit in 1991, the organization has operated out of its current facility at 3620 Production Avenue.

Over the past two decades, a growing number of complaints from neighboring businesses regarding

to reports, the number of cycling-related collisions in Carlsbad has dropped since the city launched its safety campaign.

The city of Encinitas will follow suit, utilizing road signs, education campaigns, and enhanced policing to enforce the proper use of bikes, e-bikes and motorized mobility devices.

“By declaring a local emergency, the city plans to create more awareness around the issue,” Kranz said. “The city has created a public education campaign which includes coordinating with school districts and private schools to relay traffic safety messages and implementing electronic messaging boards at high collision and traffic areas, reminding motorists and bicyclists the importance of roadway safety.”

In June, the Encini-

the behavior of some of the soup kitchen’s clientele after service hours has prompted revisions to the soup kitchen’s conditional use permit.

Despite the most recent changes made in 2021, some owners are still reporting cases of individuals urinating and defecating in front of businesses and sidewalks, harassing customers and employees, vandalism and loitering around the park.

Businesses in the park started a petition earlier this year to revoke Brother Benno’s conditional use permit.

In May, the Oceanside Planning Commission heard from police, business owners and Brother Benno’s representatives regarding the ongoing issues.

Commissioners had

tas City Council approved a change to an ordinance making it “unlawful for the operator of any bicycle to carry any other person upon the handlebars of any such bicycle” or “in any other manner not designed for passenger riding” on highways or public roads.

The amended code allows sheriff’s deputies to send first-time violators of the ordinance to an e-bike education course.

The city’s emergency declaration also includes renting 10 electronic message boards for 12 weeks at an estimated cost of $35,000. The panels will be placed in high-visibility areas, alerting motorists and cyclists to potential safety issues.

“They will have messages for both drivers and bikers because the responsibility is on both, and we want to make sure both are doing the right thing to be safe,” said Assistant City

mixed thoughts about revoking the conditional use permit and potentially forcing Brother Benno’s to move, which is what most of the business park wants to happen. Still, they agreed more action is necessary.

In addition to its previous suggested changes, the police also suggested eliminating the sack lunch program and ensuring the hygiene pack program ends at 10:45 a.m. in exchange for an in-house meal program that would serve food on site.

Police Chief Kedrick Sadler explained that problematic individuals who have been banned from receiving Brother Benno’s services have been collecting sack lunches from clients who are still allowed on site.

Prior to the city’s emergency declaration, the Encinitas City Council approved the coming fiscal year’s budget, which includes $75,000 for an e-bike safety education program in partnership with local schools.

During public comment, several residents expressed concerns over unsafe conditions for e-bike riders and cyclists on main thoroughfares like El Camino Real, Manchester Avenue and Coast Highway 101, which some described as “freeway-like” conditions.

Members of the Champlain-Kingman family also spoke during the meeting and acknowledged the urgency of this issue following the death of Brodee Champlain-Kingman.

“Brodee was an outstanding student. He had a hunger for knowledge and education, and in doing so, he studied diligently to ob-

participant. He excelled at snow skiing, beach volleyball, tennis and later at pickleball. He competed in multiple tournaments, winning a collection of trophies.

“I don’t want to leave this meeting tonight with the false narrative that OPD is somehow against the homeless and we don’t want people to eat food – that’s nuts,” Sadler said. “We understand there are people in unfortunate circumstances experiencing hard times, and everybody needs to eat, and everybody has the right and should be able to eat, but we just didn’t want folks who were banned to benefit.”

This time, dozens of Brother Benno’s volunteers and supporters showed up to defend the soup kitchen’s mission. Many were upset at the possibility of Brother Benno’s losing its sack lunch privileges.

“I’m disturbed by the round of additional sugges-

tain his learner’s permit to drive a motorized vehicle,” said Roy Kingman, Brodee’s father. “He did what he had to do to protect himself, and we did as parents to see him go forth into this world without our protection.”

According to Kingman, Brodee was a well-educated e-cyclist who knew the rules of the road, was wear-

tions that Brother Benno’s has been asked to abide by, especially removing the sack lunches and hygiene packs,” said Gregg Prather, Brother Benno’s board member. “That is especially egregious, that is shameful.”

Meanwhile, business representatives continued to press the idea that it’s time for Brother Benno’s to move.

“The point of a conditional use permit is to see if both sides can exist together,” said Andrea Contreras, a land use attorney who represents three property owners in the industrial park. “We believe it needs to come back to the Planning Commission on whether or not to amend or revoke the permit.”

Police and park tenants have also noted improvements have quelled issues during the day but criminal activity returns once the soup kitchen closes.

“The problem is at night,” said Planning Commission Vice Chair Tom Morrissey. “I think security needs to be 24-7.”

For now, the plan is to go forward with holding collaborative meetings between Brother Benno’s staff, business park managers, police and city staff to address issues within the park for the next 60 days.

Focus on Mental Health Awareness

Tri-City Medical Center’s Behavioral Health Team available to help you enjoy better mental health

By Sarah Jayyousi, MSW, LPCC, LCSW, Operations Manager Tri-City Medical Center Outpatient Behavioral Health Services

Each day, Tri-City’s behavioral health providers work hard to help our community members lead happier and more fulfilling lives through better mental health.

Although we see progress in prevailing attitudes toward mental health treatment, the fight against the stigma related to mental illness in our culture is real and ongoing. Therefore, people need to be encouraged to seek help when needed and prioritize their mental health in order to achieve balance and wellness.

Millions of individuals live with mental health problems in the United States and it’s important for all of us to raise awareness and advocate for policies that support mental wellness. Our shared experience with COVID-19 and the unparalleled stressors that have resulted over the past few years brought about increased levels of anxiety across all age groups, especially with children and young adults. By becoming more aware, we can help to support our loved ones with

mental illness. Additionally, each one of us can commit to supporting our own mental health by taking care of ourselves, talking about mental health and seeking professional help if needed.

Many people are unaware that anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric disorders. Com-

mon symptoms of anxiety include worrying, difficulties concentrating, reduced sleep, feeling restless or irritable, and having tense muscles. Some may experience panic attacks, fear of going outside and/or fear of encountering social situations. Symptoms of anxiety can even be accompanied

by physiological sensations, such as increased heart rate, rapid breathing, sweating and more. Others can be distressed by obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors akin to excessive washing, repetitive checking or extremely rigid rituals.

If you experience symp-

toms of anxiety, depression, paranoia, suicidal thoughts (or other mental health issues) that impact your daily functioning or ability to enjoy life, please know that these symptoms are treatable and you can achieve recovery.

There are many treatment options that help with

mental health recovery. These may include seeing a psychiatrist, meeting with a therapist, attending a support group or enrolling in an intensive outpatient program. If symptoms are severe or someone is experiencing a crisis, including suicidal thoughts, they can obtain services from outpatient crisis stabilization units, crisis centers, residential treatment programs, emergency rooms or inpatient treatment options. It is important to know that help is available in a variety of ways and that each person’s mental health needs are unique.

Tri-City Medical Center can assist with referring you to community resources. Our goal is to match services with the unique needs of the individual. We also have an evidence-based and recovery-oriented intensive outpatient program that helps individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and other mental health issues. You can reach Outpatient Behavioral Health Services by calling 760. 940.5050. We are here for you and are committed to supporting the wide range of mental health needs in the community.

Study: Walkable neighborhoods offer more community, better health

By City News Service REGION — Walkable neighborhoods facilitate a stronger sense of community and better health outcomes in adults than those in car-dependent communities, according to a report last month from UC San Diego’s Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science.

The findings, published online June 20 in the journal Health & Place, found adults in walkable neighborhoods are more likely to interact with their neighbors.

The study supports one of “six foundational pillars

suggested by United States Surgeon General Vivek Murthy as part of a national strategy to address a public health crisis caused by loneliness, isolation and lack of connection in this country,” according to the authors.

In May 2023, the Surgeon General Advisory stated that loneliness and isolation can lead to a 29% increased risk of heart disease, a 32% increased risk of stroke, a 50% increased risk of developing dementia among older adults and increased risk of premature death by more than 60%.

“Our built environments create or deny

long-lasting opportunities for socialization, physical activity, contact with nature, and other experiences that affect public health,” said professor James Sallis of the Wertheim school, senior author of the UCSD study.

“Transportation and land use policies across the U.S. have strongly prioritized car travel and suburban development, so millions of Americans live in neighborhoods where they must drive everywhere, usually alone, and have little or no chance to interact with their neighbors,” he said.

The study analyzed data from the Neighborhood Quality of Life Study, which included 1,745 adults ages 20 to 66 living in 32 neighborhoods located in and around Seat tle, Baltimore and Washington, D.C.

Walkable neighborhoods promote active be haviors like walking for leisure or transportation to school, work, shopping or home, the authors wrote.

“Neighborhood walkability may promote social interactions with neighbors — like waving hello, asking for help or socializing in their homes,” said the first author, Jacob Carson, a student in the UCSDSan Diego State University Joint Doctoral Program in Public Health.

According to the findings, neighborhoods where people must drive in and out, and where there

is an absence of gathering places, may have the opposite effect, preventing neighbors from socializing.

“Promoting social interaction is an important public health goal,” Carson said. “Understanding the role of neighborhood design bolsters our ability to advocate for the health of our communities and the individuals who reside in them.

“Fewer traffic incidents, increases in physical activity, and better neighborhood social health outcomes are just a few of the results of designing walkable neighborhoods that can enrich our lives,” he said.

Advanced treatments for congestive heart failure offered

An estimated 6.2 million adults in the U.S. have congestive heart failure, a chronic condition often caused by heart disease. For people recently diagnosed and hospitalized with heart failure, the new outpatient Advanced Heart Failure Clinic at Sharp Memorial Hospital offers hope.

For over 60 years, Sharp Memorial has earned a reputation for innovation and successfully treating advanced heart failure. And it is where San Diego’s first heart transplant was performed.

At Sharp Memorial, patients have the support of an expert team of cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, electrophysiologists and nurse practitioners that provides comprehensive heart and vascular care.

Before leaving Sharp Memorial, patients receive the clinic’s support, including medications delivered to their bedside, and education ensuring they understand and know how to manage their condition.

Follow-up care is critical. All patients are encouraged to visit the clinic within one week of leaving the hospital to meet with a nurse practitioner who manages their care with joint visits from cardiologists spe-

cializing in heart failure. The nurse practitioner focuses on providing further education and starting a treatment plan known as quadruple therapy. Quadruple therapy, which uses a combination of four different classes of medication, has been shown to significantly improve heart

function. The clinic closely monitors patients weekly or biweekly to adjust medication doses and achieve stability. Echocardiograms are performed to assess heart function and track improvements.

Once patients are stable, the frequency of visits can be reduced.

Early Detection Saves Lives

Carlsbad Imaging Center offers a variety of different screenings that can guide patients in taking preventative measures and assist doctors in treatment.

Coronary heart disease is the number one killer in the United States. The primary cause of this disease is the build-up of plaque in the arteries of the heart. One of the center’s most popular screenings is cardiac scoring, a pain-free, non-invasive exam that detects the amount of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries.  The center also screens for lung cancer, the number one killer among cancers. Studies have shown that a CT screening can greatly improve the likelihood of detecting lung cancer early while minimizing your exposure to radiation.

The leading cause of stroke is significant narrowing or blockage of the carotid artery caused by a buildup of plaque in the artery walls, which is treatable and Carlsbad Imaging center provides vascular and arterial screenings.

Another option is an abdominal aortic aneurysm ultrasound, which is recommended for men and women aged 65-75 who have ever smoked, or men over 55 years and women over 65 years who have a family history of aneurysms.

Ask about their full body screening package that combines cardiac scoring, lung cancer screening, a carotid ultrasound and a comprehensive, high-resolution scan of the abdomen and pelvis.

In cases where patients need extra support, the clinic's team members evaluate them to determine if they are suitable candidates for more advanced therapies, such as a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or heart transplant.

The Advanced Heart Failure Clinic is designed to

shift the focus from heart failure to heart success by providing excellent care, education and monitoring. By actively managing patients’ conditions, the clinic strives to improve their quality of life and promote positive outcomes for people with heart failure.

Sharp has cardiac spe-

cialists across San Diego County focused on helping people improve their heart health. To learn more or register for a free, on-demand webinar on heart failure, visit sharp.com/heart, or call 1-800-82-SHARP (1-800-827-4277), Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Drug pairing shows promise against pancreatic cancer, researchers say

By City News Service

REGION — In the fight against pancreatic cancer, a combination of drugs outperformed other treatments in human cell and mouse models, and should be used in human clinical trials, UC San Diego researchers announced June 28.

The findings were published in the Cancer Research journal, and “reveal the combination of drugs to be dramatically more effective and less prone to resistance” than a treatment-inhibiting KRAS approach alone.

While new drugs developed to inhibit KRAS — a gene that drives many types of cancer, especially pancreatic — are considered therapeutically promising, pancreatic cancer is especially drug-resistant, UC San Diego officials said.

Most treatments are effective for a short time period, but the cancer finds its way around them.

Researchers said one potential reason is that a “group of genes upstream of KRAS, called ERBB, appear to become upregulated in response to KRAS inhibition.

In other words, when KRAS goes down, ERBB goes up and drives KRAS and other related genes back up again.”

KRAS inhibitors “have

the potential to completely change the landscape of treating pancreatic cancer,” said Dr. Herve Tiriac, a co-senior author of the findings.

“However, we need to do a lot of upfront testing to optimize KRAS therapy, or clinical trials might get a lot of negative data,” said Tiriac, an assistant research scientist at the UCSD School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center.

Researchers confirmed that human pancreatic cells treated with the KRAS inhibitor MRTX1133, made by Mirati Therapeutics, become drug-resistant and increase ERBB.

However, pairing MRTX1133 with Afatinib

— approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration — could combat that resistance, and also lower the number of surviving cancer cells.

Pancreatic cancer cells were “exquisitely vulnerable” to the two drugs, according to the study.

The drug combo was tested on human pancreatic cancer cells, which are considered “a step up” from mouse models and the “stage zero” of human clinical trials.

Live mice treated with both drugs “survived significantly longer than those treated with either drug alone,” according to researchers.

UCSD study co-authors are Kevin Christian Montecillo Gulay, Xinlian Zhang, Jay Patel, Edgar Esparza, Deepa Sheik Pran Babu, Jonathan Weitz, Isabella Ng, Evangeline Mose and Minya Pu.

Vasiliki Pantazopoulou, Satoshi Ogawa and Dannielle Engle, from the Salk Institute, also are co-authors.

Funding for the study was provided by the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Research, the Alexandrina M. McAfee Trust Foundation, the Research for a Cure of Pancreatic Cancer Fund and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.

Hospitals in San Diego, state seeing fewer COVID patients

By City News Service REGION

— The number of COVID-positive patients in California hospitals continues to decline, dropping to 752, a decrease of 29 over the previous day, according to the latest state figures.

Of those patients, 89 were being treated in intensive care. Those numbers are through June 24, according to the California Department of Public Health.

The state began updating the numbers again last week after reporting paused May 11 due to a change in the state’s COVID-19 hospitalization data collection system, a result of the end of the federal public health emergency.

San Diego County’s total was 48 COVID-positive patients, down from 60 about a month ago and down from 93 on May 2. Of those 48 patients, five were being treated in intensive care.

The data include all patients diagnosed with COVID-19 during their stay. It does not necessarily mean they were hospitalized because of COVID-19 compli-

cations or that they experienced COVID-19 symptoms.

Meanwhile, San Diego County health officials reported 325 new cases of the coronavirus and one additional COVID-related death in its most recent weekly update on June 29.

That brings the county’s cumulative totals to 990,677 cases and 5,891 fatalities since the pandemic began in early 2020, according to the county Health and Human Services Agency.

A majority of people who die with COVID-19 are elderly or have an underlying health condition such as diabetes, heart disease or hypertension, health officials have said.

Hospitalizations, case and death numbers have been gradually declining for several months.

Federal emergency declarations stemming from the pandemic are now over, but health officials note that COVID-19 remains one of the leading causes of death, “requiring ongoing efforts to reduce severe illness through readily available vaccinations, testing and treatment.”

Cardiac arrest patient recovers against the odds

By Staff

OCEANSIDE — An extraordinary chain of survival involving family, first responders and Tri-City Medical Center saved David Mills’ life after he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest at home.

Mills’ cardiac arrest was caused by ventricular fibrillation, or VFib, which is a malfunction of the heart’s normal rhythm that can be fatal if not treated within minutes as the heart stops pumping blood to the body, including the brain and lungs.

“David, who is 67 and retired, underwent a total of 70 minutes of in- and out-of-hospital CPR, whereas the average CPR duration is about 25 to 30 minutes,” said Dr. Andrew Fischer, an emergency medicine specialist and base hospital

medical director at Tri-City.

“Medical data indicates that after about 45 minutes and definitely beyond 60 minutes, the chances of survival and having a favorable neurological outcome are less than 1%. This is why David’s survival and full recovery is so amazing.”

The chain of survival began when his wife, Georgia, heard him make some strange noises and found him unconscious with no pulse. She immediately called 911 while her 25-yearold grandson, Jacob, began doing CPR with guidance from the 911 operator.

“Starting CPR immediately is critical as the brain can only go about four to six minutes without oxygen before permanent damage occurs,” said Fischer, who treated Mills upon his arrival to the emergency room.

“Too often, bystanders wait for the paramedics to arrive, which can be too late. People who go into cardiac arrest still have residual oxygen in their blood, and hands-only CPR can keep that blood circulating until help gets there.”

In Mills’ case, first responders from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department arrived on scene within five minutes and continued CPR until the Vista Fire Department arrived shortly thereafter. Since VFib is a “shockable rhythm,” the EMTs and paramedics used an automated external defibrillator to shock his heart and attached him to a mechanical CPR device that provides automated chest compressions.

“Tri-City is one of seven base station hospitals in San Diego County, meaning we provide EMTs responding to a 911 call with medical direction while they are en route to the nearest hospital,” Fischer said.

“The call came into our radio room that the patient was on his way and that there had been a ‘witnessed arrest’ – the wife was there when it happened — and ‘bystander CPR’ from his grandson, which were positive signs. Knowing these parameters and that his heart was still in VFib with a shockable rhythm, we continued CPR with minimal interruptions during our assessment.”

The Tri-City team continued to treat Mills with antiarrhythmic drugs and other medications, as well as targeted temperature management, which low-

ered his core body temperature to between 32 and 36 degrees Celsius (89.6 to 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit).

This mild, induced hypothermia improves survivability and neurologic

outcomes.

Tri-City cardiologists inserted a stent into Mills’ heart as an EKG and ultrasound had revealed that his cardiac arrest was caused by an inferior myocardial infarction, or heart attack, due to a blocked artery.

Mills continues to recover, stating that he feels “physically stronger every day and is emotionally very optimistic about his future.”

“Tri-City has long been recognized as a center of excellence for the most critical of patients, including those who suffer cardiac arrest,” said Dr. Gene Ma, Tri-City president, CEO and emergency room physician.

“This is yet another demonstration of the exemplary collaboration of our teams working together to deliver exceptional care for the betterment of our community.”

Eppig wins patio matchup with simple, clean space

customer experience of visiting Eppig Brewing. No bells and whistles are needed to make for an enjoyable visit.

Carlsbad Brewing

Takeaway: The inside is enormous and filled with cool things. The outside is functional if you want to sit outside, but that is not the appeal of Carlsbad Brewing Company.

Eppig’s Bierhalle led the way in the now popular brewery corner of Vista. The brewery keeps it simple and, like its beer, focuses on quality. Carlsbad Brewing Company is next to the trampoline park, which could make for the best birthday party of your life.

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 North County Brewery Patio-Off challenge launch column. Skip below for an unexpected twist or two.

Eppig Brewing

The original patio has a fire pit and plenty of comfortable seating for small groups. A bonus picnic table area off the right of the entry appears to be pandemic inspired and ideal for the big family looking to all sit together.

In the bonus area, they’ve gone beyond merely blocking off part of the parking lot by adding car-

peted flooring and keeping it clean. I admire and head for the main space with my Fest bier. They have an EV-charger out front, which would be a nice amenity if I owned an electric car.

The dog and I find cozy lounge chairs to make our home base. We can feel the heat from the fire pit over here. The patio is more extensive than I remember from previous visits, but the service is as excellent

as ever. The patio is simple — tables and chairs under string lights — but comfortable and, dare I say, classy. There isn’t any food at the moment, but the Bierhalle has a relatively consistent schedule of food trucks on the weekends. The hours are limited during the week. They are closed entirely on Mondays and not open until 4 p.m. from Tuesday-Thursday. That impacts people like me who like drinking

Carlsbad Brewing Company is at the back of a large warehouse behind an indoor trampoline park. From the number of adults walking over in socks and e-bikes parked out front, I’m guessing CBC is a haven for parents.

They have an expansive beer list beyond their own beer. During my visit, they featured Russian River Brewing. They also serve food and offer table service—a rarity these days. Our service was excellent. We had parmesan fries and pretzel balls. They both went great with our beers. All of which we enjoyed on one of two patios that faced out toward the parking lot. The patios feel a bit like afterthoughts. They are small rectangular fenced-in platforms with a table and a few stools at the rail. If you want to drink your beer outside, they got you covered as long as it isn’t that busy.

No greater joy than a classic meatball sandwich

any pushback from the staff. If Just Peachy is still open, they have a decent selection if you need a bun in a pinch. If you want to make it great, order an extra side of sauce.

regional sandwiches that are new to me but worth exploring.

First off, let’s clarify that the term sandwich is used as a general describer and could include sub, hero, grinder or hoagie, depending on the region of the country you come from.

I’ll also point out that the meatball sandwich is a purely American invention with roots going back to the early 1900s on the East Coast, where, of course, there are very strong opinions on what region does them best.

I’ve been a massive fan of them forever, and at least once a year dive into making a big batch of homemade meatballs and a day-long red sauce — think Ray Liotta in Goodfella’s reminding his family to “tell Michael not to let the sauce stick, keep stirring it,” as he his life begins to spiral out of control. In certain northeast regions, Italian Americans call red sauce “gravy.”

Recently, I popped into East Coast Pizza in the Seaside Market Plaza for a quick slice but saw a customer in what seemed like an eye-rolling bliss induced by one of their beautiful meatball parmigiana sandwiches. I also discovered that they make their own meatballs, a step that most similar size operations don’t take, adding immediate credibility to this fast-paced eatery.

I quickly added one to my menu, knowing that by the time I devoured my slice and drove home, it would be a perfect temperature. I should note that I always order them with extra cheese and cooked well done for that extra crisp bun texture.

I’ve always enjoyed meatball sandwiches cold the next day as well. It accompanies the cold pizza, lasagna, and spaghetti that many of us appreciate.

My East Coast Pizza meatball sandwich experience got me thinking about the plethora of solid options we have in North County, so I got to putting together a list of those I’ve experienced and some new ones from friends I trust on the topic, most of whom have New York or New Jersey roots. I do take those folks to be authorities on the subject.

Bongiornos in Solana Beach does them right, along with a full menu of Italian American delights. Crust, also in Solana Beach, also makes their own meatballs and, to my surprise, does an excellent Chicago Italian Beef…but that’s a whole other column.

I’ve raved about the meatball sub at Moto Deli before, and I will continue to keep them on my

preferred list. Their sister restaurant Corner Pizza up the street in Leucadia offers meatballs, but no sub roll, just some bread on the side that you can concoct a slop-

py sandwich. I’ve discovered a simple workaround, bring your own buns….BYOB, so to speak.

Don’t be super obvious about it, but I’ve not gotten

Rosatti’s, Rosanna’s, Alices and Borrelli’s on El Camino Real in Encinitas are all solid meatball sandwich options that should be included in your quest. A bonus at Borrelli’s is their Veal Parm sub which is a rare find in these parts, and a good split with a friend, combine it with a meatball sub and enjoy half of each.

A few that I’ve not experienced but come highly recommended are American Heroes and Brew and Primo, both in Carlsbad. American Heroes and Brew has

Oceanside meatball offerings include Grazianos, Spiritos, Big Bobs, and Frazier Farms, whose deli/ sandwich counter is as good as it gets in North County.

And while I’m sure the big chains like Subway can all suffice in a pinch, they really can’t be included in this list as a big part of the joy of a meatball sandwich comes from the personality of the joint making it. Independent, family-run restaurants are the backbone of this category and should be supported.

If you want to give this a shot at home, it’s not that difficult. There are hundreds

of recipes out there but use, at the very least, a pork/ beef blend. To get authentic, include some ground veal in your mix. That trio will produce the desired consistency.

And make it the fattiest blend possible, please.

Meatballs are not supposed to be lean. Make your own sauce and let it simmer all day, filling your home with an aroma that will make the experience even better. Get some quality buns, mozzarella or provolone cheese, and put your spin on it. Meatballs freeze well, so it makes sense to whip up a large batch for future use. And please, try them cold the following day…you might be surprised.

CA Wine Festival turns 20 in Carlsbad

taste of wine

The 20th California Wine Festival, led by Executive Director Emily Kaufmann, kicked off June 23 and 24 at Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad.

The festival includes events in Carlsbad, Santa Barbara, Huntington Beach, and Dana Point. The Sunset Rare & Reserve Tasting on Friday featured a champagne reception followed by an evening of sampling hard-to-find trophy and library wines.

On Saturday, the wine tasting unfolded at the sun-splashed Heron Lawn of the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort. The vibrant tent village showcased over 100 California wines from 30 wineries, 20 restaurants, 11 craft breweries, and 16 artisan craft vendors. A live band provided a rhythmic backdrop to this sensory extravaganza, where wine and food took center stage.

The 2023 event continued the successes of previous events and perhaps was the best CA festival that Kaufmann has executed to date. I could write pages about the event, but when I look through my notes and pictures, several wineries and food purveyors rise to the top.

Napa Valley's Hall Winery truly impressed guests with its exceptional wines. Lisa Covey, Hall's PR director, poured three remarkable 100% cabernet sauvignons. The 2018 Eighteen Seventy-Three, a 91-93 point Robert Parker Wine Advocate award winner, showcased a deep garnet color, a complex nose of ripe blackberry and plum, and a palate featuring dark fruit, cocoa, and baking spice, all complemented by well-structured tannins and acidity.

The 2018 Ellie's had an earthy profile with blackberry and olive aromas, while the palate displayed blackberry, olive, cassis, and violet undertones, culminating in a long, smooth finish. The 2017 Jack's Masterpiece, a true masterpiece with a 96-point score from Owen Bargreen, utilized fruit from various Napa Valley vineyards, from Atlas Peak to St. Helena.

Jack's boasted a delightful baking spice nose, dark, opaque purple color, and a palate combining flavors of black cherry, pepper, and clove with a robust tannin structure. The mountain fruit components added body and ripeness. Learn more at hallwines. com.

The dynamic booth award goes to Doffo Winery in Temecula. Founder Marcelo Doffo, an Argentine immigrant and motorcycle enthusiast, has passed his passion to the next generation. His children, Damian, Brigitte, and Samantha, now handle daily operations. Celebrating 25 years, Doffo Winery is a must-visit for Taste of Wine and Food.

Culinary highlights at the festival included Luke Morganstern, executive chef of Orfila Vineyards Oceanside Tasting Room & Kitchen, serving his acclaimed sliders, paired with 2022 Sauvignon Blanc-Vogelzang and 2019 Pinot Noir-Sonoma County served by Assistant Manager Katharine Briggs.

A delightful surprise was Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken. The restaurant's chicken benefits from a proprietary Tennessee hot-and-spicy wet batter recipe created by the owners, which Espinoza said few have access to.

By Ryan Woldt

I’m on the prowl for a cup of coffee this morning.** I find it at Sleeping Tiger Coffees in Carlsbad, home of the colorful sleeping tiger mural painted by Michael Summers (prints available inside). I often see tourists posing in front of this wall as I pass the steps down to the beach at the end of Grand Avenue.

Today, I vary my route and hang a left on Carlsbad Blvd, then another quick left into Sleeping Tiger Coffees.

a paper price tag affixed somewhere. I sit at a table pushed up against a trellis wall under a huge, low-hanging chandelier. Why don’t I have a chandelier at home? I wonder. I feel classy as hell.

We share the space with a few common sparrows looking for crumbs and the occasional tourist passing through handling the merchandise.

My coffee is hot and solid. A pretty standard cup of black coffee that will always taste better than it is when you take it a few blocks down to the beach, which is what I decide to do.

I make my way back through the cafe. They roast a lot of different coffees. A display of whole bean coffees features coffees from Colombia, Guatemala, and Costa Rica. The brown bags are handstamped with handwritten origins.

As I leave, I see signs for live music and comedy nights. They are friendly reminders that things are a lot different now than last year and the year before. We can commune again.

Clarke started with the 2019 Forefathers, sourced from a rare 3-acre east-facing parcel in Alexander Valley that avoids excessive afternoon heat. She also poured the 2019 Embankment, boasting deep color and blackberry notes on the nose and palate, along with blueberry, plum, and subtle hints of chocolate.

The third pour was the 2018 Yoeman, showcasing two different clones with variations in size, acidity, and flavor. This diversification produced a noted “grip,” according to Nick

Goldschmidt. Finally, the 2019 Oakville Game Ranch was poured, featuring red clay and volcanic soil for excellent drainage, resulting in smaller berries with concentrated flavors.

The wine displayed a black cherry and black currant nose with floral undertones, and the palate offered intense dark fruit flavors and vibrant acidity. For more information, visit goldschmidtvineyards.com.

Sleeping Tiger has a full menu of espresso drinks with homemade syrups (per a sign) and a case full of pastries to accompany them.

If you read this column, I default to a simple cup of the black stuff. A pleasant barista hands my cup over the bar and offers up a treat for the dog.

He’s thrilled, and I’m appreciative. I wander past the tables, chairs, and racks of wine barrels inside, heading for the back patio.

There is a mini-vintage shop out back and a covered patio space. There is a repurposed with intention vibe here — lots of rust and wood.

Nearly everything has

Quito (our pup) and I wander another minute down the road and find ourselves looking at the ocean again. I’ve been coming to this spot for nearly six years. It never gets old.

The waves roll in, as they always do. My coffee tastes better here, as it always does.

*I saw this band at a small venue in Pittsburgh with a half dozen other fans in the late-aughts. Despite the small size of the audience, they came out and gave it 100%. Great show.

**See what I did there?

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: August 02, 2023; Time:

1:30 PM; in Dept.: 502. Court address: 1100 Union St., San Diego CA 92101, Central Courthouse. Court appearances may be made either in person or virtually, unless otherwise ordered by the Court.

Awesome!

Emerald Downs racetrack in Auburn, Washington, switched things up on June 25 with a Grandparents Race, WMTV reported. It was part of Grandparents Weekend, where nanas and pop-pops received free admittance and could participate in prize drawings. About 25 grandparents competed in the race, charging out of the horse gates toward a finish line about 40 yards away. Two of the racers stumbled and fell during the sprint, but no one was hurt. Steve Butler of Everett, Washington, was declared the winner. [WMTV, 6/26/2023]

For the Birds

The Cotehele medieval house in Cornwall, England, was all set to be the site of a five-day cherry-picking festival starting on June 28, the BBC reported, but blackbirds foiled the plan. Laura Jarman of the National Trust said that 80 trees were full of the fruits on June 19, but two days later “the gardener came to tell me they’d all gone ... feasted on by the very cheeky blackbirds. They’re so cute, we don’t mind too much,” she added. The site still plans to host an apple-picking event later in the year. [BBC, 6/23/2023]

Government in Action

Paavo Arhinmaki, 46, the deputy mayor of Helsinki, Finland, was caught in the act on June 23 as he and a friend spray-painted graffiti in a railway tunnel in the capital city, the Associated Press reported. The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency said the cost to clean up the graffiti would be about $3,830, but it’s not clear if the deputy mayor will face charges. “I have committed a crime and bear full responsibility for it,” Arhinmaki said, calling his actions “stupid fooling around.” However, he is re-

fusing to resign his position. [AP, 6/28/2023]

Unconventional Weaponry

Tristan Stetina, 19, was charged with fifth-degree assault (who knew degrees went to 5!) after an incident at a Mankato, Minnesota, restaurant on June 23, KSTP-TV reported. Police officers were called to the business after Stetina allegedly arrived there and “began yelling and throwing Skittles at employees and customers.” One victim said she experienced stinging on her back after being hit with one of the candies. Officers, who were familiar with Stetina, found him nearby and placed him under arrest; because he resisted, he was also charged with obstruction of the legal process and disorderly conduct. [KSTP, 6/28/2023]

Inexplicable

Public restrooms are a gamble on the best day, but in Columbus, Indiana, a discovery in the bathroom at Mill Race Park raised the bar: David Lancaster, part of the cleaning crew, found a dead octopus in a toilet there on June 22, with its long tentacles hanging out of the bowl. Fox59-TV reported that Mark Jones, director of the park department, said he didn’t know how the octopus had come to be in the toilet, but it had been removed. [Fox59, 6/26/2023]

Irony Harvard Business School professor Francesca Gino, who researches dishonesty and unethical behavior, is in the hot seat with her administration for ... submitting work that falsified results. NPR reported on June 26 that several people have alleged that Gino changed data in at least four papers about her studies. She is currently on administrative leave; for her part, Gino did not confirm or deny the claims, but said she is “limited into what I can say publicly. I want to

assure you that I take (the allegations) seriously and they will be addressed.” Investigators said they found incidents of fraud spanning more than a decade. [NPR, 6/26/2023]

Unclear on the Concept

When Oak Park and River Forest High School in Oak Park, Illinois, underwent a cybersecurity audit, TechCrunch reported, the vendor mistakenly reset every student’s password, which prevented students from being able to log into their Google account. Naturally, the school wanted to rectify the situation, so on June 23, they sent parents an email: “To fix this, we have reset your child’s password to Ch@ngeme! so that they can once again access their Google account. We strongly suggest that your child update their password to their own unique password as soon as possible.”

What could go wrong? Manning Peterson, an OPRF student’s mom, noted, “This is terribly insecure and you have just invited every single student’s accounts to get hacked.” It took the school a day to realize its mistake, whereupon it promised to send “a special password process that will be unique to your specific student.”

It’s Good to Have Goals

“Highpointing” enthusiasts seek to find tallest points in a geographic region. The hobby intrigues former Colorado resident Andrew Karr, so it’s only natural that in his new home state of Florida, he’d continue the quest. According to The Messenger, Karr has pledged to summit the highest point of every county in Florida — the flattest state in the country. He studies maps, rents kayaks and asks landowners for

permission to cross their property to achieve his goal, and he’s almost there: He’s summitted 61 out of 67 counties. [The Messenger, 6/29/2023]

The Aristocrats

A Brooklyn-based art collective called MSCHF created a teeny tiny handbag that sold for $63,000 at auction on June 28, CNN reported. The neon green bag, measuring less than 0.03 inches wide, is fashioned after an iconic Louis Vuitton bag called the OntheGo tote, but it was not sanctioned by the designer. It was made using technology that prints 3D micro-scale plastic parts and was sold with a microscope so the owner can see it. [CNN, 6/29/2023]

News You Can Use

The Bridge of Flowers between Shelburne and Buckland, Massachusetts,

draws walkers from both cities to view the flora alongside the footbridge, Mass Live reported. But now the Bridge of Flowers Committee is asking residents not to scatter loved ones’ ashes there. “It’s not healthy,” said Carol Angus, co-chair of the committee. “The gardeners and volunteers are then exposed to the human remains,” and the leaves and roots of the plants are damaged. “It’s very upsetting,” Angus added.

Recent Alarming Headline

At Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport on June 29, a 57-year-old Thai woman was preparing to board a flight when she became caught in the moving walkway in Terminal 2, The Guardian reported. The lower part of the woman’s leg was trapped beneath the belt at the end of the walkway; a medical team had to amputate her leg above the knee, and she then was transferred to a hospital to assess the chances of reattaching her leg. Airport director Karun Thanakuljeerapat offered “my deepest condolences regarding the accident” and said the airport would be fully responsible for the victim’s medical costs. [Guardian, 6/30/2023]

Great Art!

German artist Werner Hartl of Reichersbeuern paints stunning agriculture and landscape scenes, mostly of cows, Oddity Central reported. What sets Hartl apart is his medium of choice: diluted cow manure. Hartl places a canister beneath a cow’s rear end as it poops, then mixes the dung with water. “I use watered-down dung for the light shades ... I use dung with no water mixed in for the dark shades,” Hartl explained. “When it is wet, the ‘paint’ is a bit funky, but when it’s completely dry, it doesn’t smell anymore,” he said.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

Don’t fret if things at work might be going too slowly for you. Everything’s on track. Meanwhile, gather your family and friends for a lovely summer outing.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You might feel you’re being virtuous dedicating all this time to your project. But a little time off for summer fun with loved ones will help you relax and refill your energy reservoir.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your emotions might mislead you, but not your instincts. Do what you know to be right, even if you’d rather make other choices. Time will show that you chose well.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) This could be a good time to reevaluate some of the business decisions you’ve made during the past several months. A new advisor offers some much-needed counsel.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A personal challenge involving someone close to you needs precisely the kind of courage and honesty you can bring to the situation. Go to it — and good luck.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Continue to build your self-confidence by taking additional steps to assert your rights. Cheer up. The process gets easier with each clear-cut victory.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Despite your keen Capricornean sense of what’s right and what’s not, you still need facts to back up suspicions about a co-worker. Bide your time. The truth will come out.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A relationship you hope to save might seem too far gone to be rescued. But continue working with your partner to try to mend the misunderstanding.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20)

You need to keep your emotional side in check and let your logical self sort out the problem that threatens a longtime association. Expect some hidden truths to be revealed.

BORN THIS WEEK: You can be extravagant, and you can be frugal, almost at the same time. But whatever you do and whenever you do it, you do it with style and gusto.

Bill Walton and Stellar Solar are thriving in a post-net-metering world

As California implements historic changes to its solar net metering rules, the renewable energy landscape is shifting quickly.

But according to Stellar Solar CEO Kent Harle, his firm is ready to make the most of these seismic changes and has solutions in place to make it a seamless transition.

“We’ve been riding this ‘solar coaster’ market for nearly 25 years now,” Harle explains, “And our customers have taught us what we needed to know to stay nimble and resilient as renewable energy markets continue to mature and evolve,” he says. “We don’t plan to survive – we plan to thrive. And deploying solar plus batteries for self-consumption is now our primary message.”

Serving Southern California from its Oceanside headquarters, Stellar Solar has seen its share of energy policy revisions and market volatility over its history. But somehow, it has managed to grow from a small “virtual” office to a staff of over 150 professionals and a track record of more than 15,000 residential solar installations in San Diego and Or-

ange Counties, plus a recent expansion to Michigan with other states to follow and an impressive portfolio of commercial clients, including Cedars Sinai Hospital, the Salk Institute, US Foods and the US military and federal government, among others.

To hear Harle and his fellow founding partners Brian Grems and Michael Powers tell it, their customer-centric focus and attention to detail has long dictated the strategic direction of the company.

“Clearly what customers have always been looking for is more control over their energy future – what it costs and where it comes from,” asserts the company’s Director of Operations, Brian Grems. “And customers also want to be less dependent on the electric utility, especially with power outages increasing due to fires and factors like climate change,” Grems explains.

That’s one of the reasons the company started using electric vehicles nine years ago and embraced battery storage technology five years ago, long before its customers started asking for them. This strategy resulted in the company scoring the highest battery attachment rate with solar installations in the region, along with a reputation as battery storage experts.

“Years ago, we saw energy consumers being replaced

by the ‘prosumer’ -- a home or business that is sometimes a provider and sometimes a consumer of electricity,” Powers says. “And that has helped guide our product offerings.”

“We don’t have any crystal ball,” continues Harle. “But our goal has been to continue to build on our company's strengths to make sure our customers have what they need, so they can harvest the maximum value of the solar electricity they produce, store and use.”

Most recently, this has Stellar Solar working with customers to help them "electrify their lives," which includes planning to electrify transportation, cooking,

heating and cooling and so on.

And to help get that message out, they enlisted the stellar star power of a longtime solar advocate with an equally innovative track record: ESPN/Pac-12 broadcaster, Basketball Hall of Famer, NBA All-Time Team member, and San Diego-native, Bill Walton. Walton says that from the start, he was impressed by Stellar Solar’s reputation for quality. “When I learned that over 60% of their business comes from word-ofmouth customer referrals, I knew immediately this was the perfect team for me,” Walton says.

Now in its third year,

Walton’s partnership with Stellar Solar has been a winwin for both parties. “I’m honored, privileged, and fortunate to be teamed up with as knowledgeable and forward-thinking a solar company as there is in Southern California,” Walton states emphatically.

In partnering with Stellar Solar, Walton is not just talking – he’s walking the walk. By recently adding battery storage to his sizeable home solar energy system, he can now share his own personal experience on how the combination of solar and battery storage can practically eliminate the negative impact of NEM 3.0 and actually maximizes homeown-

er ROI.

Harle explains the shift in strategy this way: "Up to now, we were helping homeowners maximize value by selling excess energy back to the utility at close to retail rates. But under the new NEM 3.0 rules, ‘exported’ solar power loses up to 75% of its value when delivered to the utility. So now, we're focused on helping homeowners maximize their returns by off-setting peak and off-peak rates, when the sun doesn’t shine, through a combination of solar and battery storage. Why would anyone sell their excess energy back to the utility at $.05/ kWh when they can offset $.81/kWh peak rates?

We want customers to see solar energy and storage as any other type of investment they would make: you want to buy when prices are low and sell when prices are high,” Harle explains. “We’re giving customers the tools they need to maximize their investments and help control their energy future,” he says.

“I heard somewhere that customers don’t actually buy products or services,” Harle concludes. “What they buy is solutions to problems. And we think home solar plus battery storage represents a powerful package for homeowners looking for ways to manage their home energy problems, now and for many years to come.”

Senior Living Education Series

55+ Living Options You Didn’t Know You Had

Retirement communities and 55+ active adult living options are popping up all around the San Diego area (and in every other city in the country). What are they, exactly? What do they offer me as a senior? Where do I even begin? During this 90-minute panel discussion, learn the facts about local senior living options from some of the most knowledgeable and experienced professionals in the senior living industry. This seminar is for informational purposes only, and panelists will not attempt to sell anything.

Registration is Required Space Limited

Tuesday, July 18, 2023 • 10:00am-11:30am

Encinitas Senior/Community Center

1140 Oakcrest Park Drive, Encinitas NEW ROOM LOCATION… BANQUET HALL

required: www.SDMatureMoves.com or call (760) 502-7372

This free seminar is hosted by SD Mature Moves, Christie Kramer-LeVander and Ric LeVander, Certified Senior Housing Professional™ & Certified Senior Downsizing Coach™.

55+ living options you didn’t know you had

We at SD Mature Moves feel strongly about helping our clients, family, and friends make educated and informed decisions about what’s right for themselves. That’s why the next in our educational/informational series is all about 55+ Living Options You Didn’t Know You Had. At 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 18th, at the Encinitas Senior/Community Center, we’ll tackle that sometimes daunting and mysterious-seeming subject: retirement living options.

Get answers that will empower you to make informed, educated choices for your own future.

Gone are the days when folks “put a family member in a home.” These days we –

all of us – have options and the ability to decide and to delineate what we want for ourselves, whether it’s medical decisions or where and how we live.

Even if we decide to let our children, relatives, or complete strangers decide where we will spend the rest of our lives – that is still a choice we ourselves make.

Making healthy, smart choices and decisions is all about being educated and informed.

Not by TV or even internet ads, not by what the various media channels choose to endorse, but by getting the facts on the topics that are important to you.

Knowledge is power! And that is what this series

is about: helping you find answers to questions, solutions to problems, and the courage you need to face the next chapter in this thing we call life.

We have a “no selling” policy and this seminar is strictly educational/informational.

Our panelists will discuss industry norms and general information and will not try to sell you on any particular choice or community.

If you have questions about or an interest in their specific community, they will be happy to set up a private consultation with you, but this seminar is solely informational. We hope you will join us.

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

SHOOTING

CONTINUED FROM FRONT

Temecula.

When deputies attempted to stop the vehicle, he reportedly refused to yield and fled south and continued driving through Fallbrook and back into Oceanside.

After running over a tire-flattening spike strip that police had laid out in his path, Larkin exited his vehicle in a strip mall parking lot in the 500 block of Vandegrift Boulevard, pulled out a firearm and started shooting at officers, authorities said. The gunfire struck at least one law enforcement vehicle.

According to OPD spokesperson Jennifer Atenza, an Oceanside police officer and a Riverside County Sheriff’s deputy returned fire multiple times before the suspect fled the area on foot with officers still in pursuit.

At Gold and Sol drives, Larkin collapsed and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s office.

The involved officers are Oceanside police Officer Malcom Cisneros, employed by the department for nine years and currently a canine handler, and Riverside County sheriff’s Deputy Richard Schweitzer, a patrolman em-

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.

ployed by the sheriff’s office for about two years.

Per the countywide memorandum of understanding, the San Diego Police Homicide Unit was called to the scene to conduct the officer-involved shooting investigation. Detectives are currently gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses and examining the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

Atenza said the investigation and review process for officer-involved shootings is thorough. When the unit completes its investigation, the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office will review it to determine if the officers bear any criminal liability for their actions.

Oceanside Police and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office will conduct an administrative investigation into their officers’ discharge of their firearms, Atenza said. The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office will also be monitoring the investigation.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the San Diego Police Homicide Unit at 619531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477. Information specifically about the homicide can also be provided to Oceanside Police at 760-435-4900 or through Crime Stoppers.

The Senior Living Education Series is designed to educate and empower seniors to make good decisions during transitions. We hope to see you

Summer fun in our BACKYARD

Think about it: Visitors to our area spend thousands of dollars to travel here and stay, so check out why they are coming to Southern California and what they are seeing in our own backyard:

What happens after-hours at the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla? It’s Oceans at Night, a monthly, adults-only events that feature interactive experiences that represent the biofluorescent and bioacoustic activity that takes place in the ocean at night.

Guests enjoy live music, a glow-lounge with larger-than-life-sized games, food and drink from The French Gourmet, and colorful coastal sunsets from the aquarium’s expansive deck.

“Oceans at Night… creates a very different type of aquarium experience than during the day,” says Executive Director Harry Helling.

Because of its popularity, Oceans at Night has expanded onto Blue Beach — a 4,500-square-foot floor mural depicting the bathymetry (or map of the depth) of the underwater canyons off La Jolla Shores.

For all ages: small-group tours that take you up close and personal and behind the scenes with seahorses and octopuses. Learn about breeding programs and caretaking of sea life.

And don’t miss the Beyster Family Little Blue Penguins exhibit, a collection of cuter-than-ever, 12-inchhigh birds, each with its own name and personality.

A San Diego institution, Belmont Park on Mission Beach, is gearing up for its centennial celebration in 2025 with lots of changes and updates. Visitors will see new and improved rides, new murals by local artists, an expanded arcade and a new escape-room adventure.

“For 98 years Belmont Park has been a place travelers come to visit and locals come to gather,” says General Manager Steve Thomas. “We want to continue to be that place.”

There was a time when

whale-watching season ran from December to March, when enthusiasts followed the gray whale migration from Alaskan waters to the warm lagoons off the Baja Coast. Changes in climate, water temperature and food supplies have brought new varieties of whales to the San Diego and Orange county coasts.

“We have seen blue whales (weighing up to 200 tons),” says Donna Kalez of Oceanside Adventures, which offers multiple cruises each week. “But the biggest story now is the huge amount of fin whales (second in size only to blue whales) that we are seeing.”

There often are dozens to hundreds of dolphins cruising and jumping alongside the whale-watching boats.

From now until Oct. 29, you won’t find a giant, interactive, people-sized Venus flytrap anywhere but the San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas. Enter if you dare. The exhibit, Savage Gardens, takes visitors to the “bizarre and captivating world of carnivorous plants,” staged in the 8,000-square-foot, glass-enclosed Dickinson Family Education Conservatory.

Take a break from the sun and explore the Oceanside Museum of Art, featuring three exhibits through the summer: “Art for the People: WPA-Era Paintings from the Dijkstra Collection,” in which Depression-era artists have chronicled life in

this country from the stock market crash of 1929 to World War II; “Janet Taylor Pickett: Light, Color, and Desire,” whose paintings and sculptures explore “Blackness, identity and history”; and “Connie Jenkins: Intertidal,” which showcases the work of Jenkins, who made multiple visits to the Channel Islands over 13 years and documented what she saw with her camera. She took some of her tidepool photos and translated them into exquisite paintings that look like photographs.
