Tesla dealer tagged
Swastikas, profanity scrawled on vehicles
By Jordan P. Ingram
ENCINITAS — The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office is investigating vandalism at a Tesla dealership in Encinitas after multiple vehicles and the building were spray-painted with swastikas and profanity early Monday morning, officials said. Deputies from the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station discovered the vandalism just after 5 a.m. while on patrol in the 1300 block of Encinitas Boulevard.
No suspects have been identified, and no arrests have been made, the sheriff’s office said.
The incident occurred sometime after a March 15 protest outside the same Tesla dealership, where demonstrators rallied against federal funding cuts as part of a nationwide movement.
Since taking office, the Trump administration has embraced Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s efforts to slash government spending by targeting “waste, fraud and abuse” under the newly-created Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

SOLANA BEACH — Ratepayers in Solana Beach will see an increase in sewer fees ranging from 10% to 8% over the next three years to fund sewer and wastewater infrastructure maintenance and operation.
The Solana Beach City Council agreed on March 12 to adopt increased sewer rates for the next three years and to bring back rates for another review in 2028. The city’s rates have been $682.30 per equivalent dwelling unit since 2020, with no increases in the past five years.
The council considered several scenarios presented by consultant Raftelis Finance, including annual increases ranging from 6.5% to 11%. Ultimately, the

Encinitas official takes family leave
By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS — Dep-
uty Mayor Joy Lyndes announced on March 12 that she will take a family medical leave from the Encinitas City Council for up to 60 days, beginning March 17, to care for her husband who is battling advanced cancer.
During a March 12 council meeting, Lyndes shared her decision in a prepared statement, acknowledging the challenges her family is facing and expressing gratitude for the support she has received.
"My husband and family have been dealing with a significant struggle,” Lyndes said. “My husband is fighting advanced cancer, the medical treatment and his fight to survive are continuing, intensifying and difficult. I appreciate all the care and generous assistance that friends in the community have given us throughout the past several months so that I can prioritize supporting him and my family through this hard time.”
Lyndes said she has put in place a system of communications to remain informed on city matters throughout her leave, though she anticipates she will not be able to attend City Council meetings or regional assignments and will have limited availability to respond to city matters.
“I understand this places more responsibility on my City Council colleagues, and I want to thank them in advance for their assistance,” she said. “You have my commitment that I will return as soon as possible.”
Lyndes also expressed appreciation for the Encinitas community, calling it a “supportive, spiritual and caring community.”
Federal grants
With federal funding dwindling and calls for accountability growing, the Encinitas City Council on March 12 debated how to distribute critical housing and community development grants while balancing local concerns over public safety.
The discussion centered on the draft Fiscal Year 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, which outlines how the city will allocate
Scripps plans medical center
By Leo Place
SAN MARCOS —
Scripps Health will build a new medical center in the North City area of San Marcos on land initially purchased decades ago, the health system announced Monday.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds — federal dollars to assist low-income residents, improve infrastructure, and prevent blight.
The city has received CDBG funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) since 1990. For fiscal year 2025-26, the city anticipates receiving approximately $273,884, though final figures have not yet been announced.
The Consolidated Plan is a required five-year document that guides how CDBG funds are spent. These federal dollars must be used for projects that benefit low- to moderate-income individuals, address urgent needs, or prevent and eliminate blight.
The proposed funding for the FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan includes:
Public services (capped at 15%): $41,000 allocated among the Community Resource Center (CRC),
The Scripps San Marcos Medical Center campus will be on a 13-acre site south of state Route 78 and north of Discovery Drive. The project will have two phases: a comprehensive ambulatory facility and an acute care hospital.
Scripps Health originally purchased around 80 acres of land in 1990 to build a San Marcos medical center, but president and CEO Chris Van Gorder said it wasn’t the right time. Instead, much of the Scripps land was used to build homes and extend Discovery Street in partnership with developer H.G. Fenton.
Over the past four years, Scripps has been developing a master plan for a medical center on the remaining 13 acres of land. Last week, the Scripps Health board of trustees approved plans for the $1.3 billion facility.
“Our patient population in the area has since grown to the point that it made sense for us to move forward. Scripps provides care to many residents of the San Marcos region today, and this campus will expand access and make care more convenient for these patients and their families,” Van Gorder said.
Scripps is now working
with the city of San Marcos on developing a comprehensive ambulatory care facility. The facility will feature multi-specialty and primary care physician offices, ambulatory surgery, cancer care, complex imaging, laboratory and other services.
The acute care facility will range from 200 to 250 beds and provide a broad range of inpatient and outpatient hospital services.
According to Scripps spokesperson Janice Collins, there is no planned start date for construction at this time.
This new facility will be directly across from the existing Kaiser Permanente San Marcos Medical Center, which opened in 2023, and around a mile from Scripps Health’s primary care offices on Campus Way.
“A major player like Scripps choosing to invest in San Marcos is exciting on so many levels,” said San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones.
“We have worked hard to become a premier health care hub in the region, which not only supports a strong local economy but contributes to the ultimate goal of making
San Marcos a place where people live long, healthy lives.”
The North City area has boomed with development in recent years. The land directly adjacent to the Scripps property, known as North City West, is currently being developed with new housing and is also planned for a new park.
The San Marcos Unified School District also bought a 4-acre plot in North City West earlier this year, but it has not been confirmed as being used at this time.

IGrid imperils state autonomy california focus
f California wants power company executives from coal-happy states like Wyoming and Utah to run energy policy in this state, then the state Senate should pass a proposed law called SB 540, sponsored by Silicon Valley Democrat Josh Becker.
Similarly, if California wants its most important environmental decisions to be made by a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) controlled by President Trump, pass this bill.
But if California wants to continue controlling its own destiny in deciding what kinds of energy sources to employ as power needs expand, then a no vote is needed.
nia’s energy market in the hands of an (organization) heavily dominated by coal interests. California would be subject to…a market authority not interested in either California or its policies.”

WRITERS/COLUMNISTS INTERNS
There are thousands of women upon whose shoulders we stand today — women who defied expectations, shattered barriers, and created paths for us to walk freely. The privileges we enjoy today were painstakingly won by those who came before us, shaping every facet of our lives.
Yet, when you were in school, did your history books truly reflect the contributions of women who have shaped our world? Did they highlight women as writers, aviators, photographers, advocates, or pioneers in voting rights, labor laws, civil rights, scientific research, medicine, the military, literature, the arts, sports, and politics?
As we celebrate Women’s History Month, I’d like to highlight a few of these intrepid women — trailblazers whose courage and contributions continue to inspire.
Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797): An early inspiration to the suffragette movement, Mary Wollstonecraft was a writer and activist who, in the 18th century, advocated for women’s education and equal standing with men. Her groundbreaking work, “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman,” laid the foundation for the fight for gender equality.
Barbara McClintock (1902-1992): Barbara McClintock pursued genetics at a time when women were largely excluded from the field. She made groundbreaking discoveries about how genes move within chromosomes — work that was initially dismissed but later recognized as a critical step toward understanding DNA. In 1983, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Lise Meitner (18781968): A brilliant physicist, Lise Meitner was the first to explain the process of nuclear fission when uranium was bombarded with neutrons. Although her male colleagues received the Nobel Prize for their work, Meitner was overlooked. However, she was later honored with the Enrico Fermi Award in 1966, and in 1997, Element 109 was named meitnerium in her honor.
Mourning Dove (18841936): Born Christine Quintasket, Mourning Dove was one of the first Native American women to publish a novel, “Cogewea, the Half-Blood: A Depiction of the Great Montana Cattle Range.” She was also the first woman elected to the Council of the Confederated Colville Tribes, dedicating her life to preserving Indigenous culture and storytelling.
Amy Beach (18671944): At a time when a newspaper headline questioned, “Are Women Composers People?” Amy Beach defied expectations. Her Gaelic Symphony in E Minor was the first symphony composed and published by an American woman and was performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1896. She later helped establish the Society of American Women Composers, advocating for women in music.
Make no mistake, large companies like Google in and near Becker’s district want this bill, which would probably allow it and similar firms operating insatiably power-hungry artificial intelligence (AI) plants going up in many rural parts of the West to use all the coal-fired energy they like, and hang the smog effects — which California has resisted for decades.
Becker chairs the state Senate Energy Committee, where his bill is due for its first vote April 8. Ironically, on accepting that job, he promised to push for clean energy.
This is actually the second big effort in the last eight years to have California join something informally called a Western regional electric grid. Like current Gov. Gavin Newsom, ex-Gov. Jerry Brown also pushed the idea.
One reason this plan has a better chance of passage today than in 2017 is increased union domination of the California Legislature, achieved mostly via campaign donations. Back in 2017, the similar earlier plan was opposed by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), which issued dire warnings about loss of California authority. Now the IBEW sports contracts with big AI farms and with PacificCorp, an Oregon-based utility that controls vast coal resources from Montana to Texas, the nation’s largest coal using state. The regional grid, said Court, could completely control how California’s Independent System Operator manages this state’s grid. “California,” he said, “would give up its right to demand that its own environmental, consumer and health laws be followed.”

The Grimké Sisters: Sarah and Angelina Grimké grew up on their father’s plantation in South Carolina but defied societal norms by teaching enslaved individuals to read and write — despite their parents’ objections. They later moved to Philadelphia, became Quakers, and became among the first women to publicly denounce slavery while advocating for equal rights for women. In 1838, Sarah Grimké published “Letters on the Equality of the Sexes,” a powerful argu-
Bessie Coleman (18921926): Inspired by French women fighter pilots in World War I, Bessie Coleman dreamed of becoming an aviator. Denied flight instruction in the United States due to her race, she moved to France, where she earned her pilot’s license in 1921 — becoming the first Black American and Native Cherokee woman to do so. She later became a stunt pilot and encouraged other Black Americans to pursue aviation.
Frances Perkins (18801965): After the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911, which killed 146 workers, Frances Perkins became a leading advocate for workplace safety, child labor laws, and fair wages.
As President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Secretary of Labor from 1933 to 1945 — the first woman to hold a U.S. Cabinet position — she played a pivotal role in shaping Social Security and the Fair Labor Standards
Gertrude Bell (18681926): Gertrude Bell was a scholar, archaeologist, adventurer, and diplomat whose knowledge of the Middle East was invaluable to British intelligence during World War I.
Fluent in Arabic, Persian, French, German, Italian, and Turkish, she played a crucial role in shaping modern Iraq, yet she was notably absent from the Lawrence of Arabia narrative. Her contributions, however, remain undeniable.
Women’s History Month is about recognizing, remembering, and honoring the women who have shaped our world. Their stories are not just history — they are a call to action. The fight for equality and justice continues, and as Robert Frost once wrote, “We have miles to go before we sleep.”
The advantage: New power supplies could become available to California more quickly. The disadvantage: Much of that power would be from “dirty” sources, plants fired by coal, oil and natural gas. Especially coal, which is favored heavily by regulators in states with large coal reserves, like Montana and Wyoming.
No question, Idaho and Utah are not as coal dependent as they once were, but they remain far more reliant on that source than California. Utah, especially, has plants itching to export coal energy to California.
So, says Jamie Court, director of the Consumer Watchdog public advocacy group and the most vocal opponent of the Western grid, “Sovereignty issues that have doomed the Western Regional Transmission Organization and prevented it from becoming law have not gone away. In fact, they are more perilous than ever.”
Advocates against the regional grid contend flatly that “This…would place control over Califor-
What’s more, California consumers could be forced to help pay for construction of new transmission lines all over the West. Building new power lines is already a major part of most utility bills here. The new plan does contain so-called guardrails aiming to protect California, including a “statement of governance” saying the new regional grid would “respect California’s right to set policies.” But that statement could be overridden by a simple order from FERC whenever Trump desires.
What’s more, there is no realistic way to escape this deal, once made. Any attempt for California to get out would need approvals both by the regional grid’s officers and by FERC. It’s as if California were considering inviting Enron to move in and take over the state’s grid again, even if that turns out to be as crooked and disastrous as when it happened during the early 2000s energy crunch.
No, this proposal is not labelled “Coal, Coal, Coal,” but reality is that a lump of worthless coal is just what California would likely end up holding.

Sheriff busts two in sting
By City News Service
ENCINITAS — Two people were arrested on Saturday in Encinitas during a San Diego County Sheriff’s Office “Shoulder Tap Operation,’’ which involved two minor decoys asking adults to buy alcohol in front of two liquor stores, authorities said this week.
The operation was conducted on Saturday, in which 34 adults were asked by minors under the supervision of an officer to buy alcohol, according to the sheriff’s office.
Sheriff’s officials said two adults purchased alcohol for minors. The names of the two arrestees were not immediately available.
The penalty for distributing alcohol to a minor is a minimum fine of at least $1,000 and/or 24 hours of community service, according to officials.
“The Alcoholic Beverage Control conducts these compliance checks statewide to reduce the availability of alcohol to minors. Statistics have shown that young people under the age of 21 have a higher rate of drunken driving fatalities than the general adult population,’’ the sheriff’s office stated.
In July 2024, the SDSO received a $75,000 APP grant. Officials said the money was earmarked for communities patrolled by the sheriff’s office to reduce alcohol-related crimes and educate ABC-licensed businesses.
Authorities urged anyone with information on licensed alcohol establishments providing alcohol to minors to call Crime Stoppers at 888580- 8477 or the sheriff’s office non-emergency line at 858-565-5200.
of a 16-month investigation that led to two indictments charging the defendants with crimes that include drug trafficking, conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and conspiracy to commit money laundering offenses.
Among those charged are two of the organiza-
tion’s alleged leaders, Escondido residents Hector Armando Espinoza, 29, and Demetrius Collins, 34.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Collins agreed to sell an undercover agent thousands of fentanyl pills, as well as methamphetamine, on two separate occasions last year. The agent
was told to send money to another co-defendant’s residence in Escondido, then Collins allegedly mailed the drugs to the agent. Espinoza allegedly provided the drugs that were part of those sales, but after discovering a tracking device that law enforcement placed on his
State finds ‘issue’
with Terramar repairs
By Walker Armstrong CARLSBAD —
The California Coastal Commission has found a “substantial issue” in an appeal challenging a property owner’s plans to repair the crumbling public beach access staircase at Terramar, setting the stage for a full de novo review at a future meeting.
During its March 13 meeting, the commission heard a staff presentation outlining concerns over the city-approved plan, which includes building two tiedback shotcrete seawalls, infilling sea caves with erodible concrete, drainage improvements and handrail and step replacements.
The project aims to stabilize the deteriorating staircase, a privately owned structure connecting the Terramar neighborhood to South Carlsbad State Beach.
The commission’s San Diego District staff recommended a “substantial issue” finding, citing concerns over jurisdiction, shoreline protection policies, public access and the project’s reliance on an unpermitted seawall.
According to commission staff, portions of the project extend seaward of the mean high tide line, meaning they fall under the Coastal Commission’s jurisdiction. The city has disputed this finding, arguing that multiple surveys confirmed the project lies within its authority.
“The city submitted a letter in response to the staff report disputing this determination,” a commission staff member said.
“And while the commission’s mapping unit does not believe the site is bisected based on their initial review, the city’s continued dispute of this determination supports a finding of substantial issue and further review on de novo.”
The commission also raised concerns about whether the new seawalls comply with Carlsbad’s Local Coastal Program (LCP), which restricts shoreline protective devices to cases necessary to protect existing structures, coastal-dependent uses or public beaches in danger of erosion.
According to the appeal, filed by Commissioner Caryl Hart and Commissioner Justin Cummings, the project does not meet these criteria and lacks a sufficient alternatives analysis required under the LCP.
“The alternatives considered did not include repairs or stabilization measures on the staircase itself, or redesigning the staircase without constructing

During a law enforcement operation that saw search warrants served throughout Southern California and Virginia, all 16 defendants were taken into custody Tuesday morning,
according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
“This group was flooding our community with methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl and prescription pills — drugs that tear families apart and put lives at risk,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Andrew Haden in a statement.
Del Mar Union leader to retire
By Leo Place
DEL MAR — Del Mar Union School District Superintendent
Holly McClurg will retire at the end of the school year after 13 years in the district’s top role, she announced in a message to families on Thursday.
McClurg did not give a specific reason for her departure but said she made the decision after considering it with her family. She said the school district board will begin the process of selecting a new superintendent in the coming weeks.
“Until my retirement in July, I remain fully committed to leading our district and ensuring a smooth transition. I have full confidence that our district will continue to thrive with new leadership, building upon the foundation of greatness we have created together,” McClurg said.
The announcement came the day after the Del Mar Union school board completed an evaluation of McClurg in closed session on Wednesday.
The board did not share the evaluation's outcome, and McClurg did not make any announcement about retiring during the meeting.
I will forever cherish the inspiring learning, the rewarding work, and, most importantly, the incredible children I have had the privilege to serve. Thank you for your partnership, your support, and the care you show our children every day. It has been an honor to serve alongside you in support of our students,” McClurg said.
Last month, McClurg was honored by the Association of California School Administrators as Region 18’s Superintendent of the Year, and was praised for her work by fellow administrators.
new shoreline protection or other lesser measures,” the staff member said. “So staff believes there’s still insufficient evidence that the approved project is the least environmentally damaging alternative.”
The appeal also challenges the mandatory mitigation measures, arguing it fails to address the longterm impact on shoreline sand supply and public access. The city’s approval required placing 85.1 cubic yards of sand on a nearby beach or paying a sand mitigation fee of approximately $5,106.
However, commission staff noted the mitigation plan only accounts for 20 years of impact, despite the project’s estimated 75-year lifespan.
Another central point of contention is the existing seawall north of the staircase, which was built under an emergency permit in 2009 but remains unpermitted. The appeal argues the new seawalls would
McClurg’s current four-year contract expires in 2027. It is unclear whether Del Mar Union will continue to pay her over $300,000 salary for the year after she retires.
McClurg joined the district in 2009 as the assistant superintendent of instructional services and became superintendent in 2012. She has worked in education for 36 years.
“This district and its people will always hold a special place in my heart.
“Dr. McClurg demonstrates her commitment to educational quality and student achievement with everything she does,” Chris Delehanty, assistant superintendent of business services, said regarding her recognition. “She is the driving force behind our long-term strategic planning, providing a clear focus and an articulated plan that is centered on students and student learning and grounded in research-based best practices.”
Del Mar Union is a K-6 district with nine elementary schools. It serves approximately 3,500 students.

Housing complex to offer dozens of low-income units
By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —
The City Council has approved a loan of up to $65 million in tax-exempt state bond funds for an eight-story, 179-unit affordable housing project in downtown Oceanside.
The low-income housing development, located at 712 Seagaze Drive, will consist entirely of studio apartments, each about 300 square feet, and will be reserved for households earning 30% to 60% of the area median income (AMI).
The California Municipal Finance Authority granted the funds to the project developer. Under TEFRA (Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act ), the city must hold a public hearing and approve the loan. However, the city is not responsible for the loan or any associated debt.
According to Housing and Neighborhood Services Director Leilani Hines, who spoke during a March 12 public hearing, the bond issuance approval was necessary to comply with Internal Revenue Service and state law requirements.
Of the units, 45 will be designated for extremely low-income tenants earning around $32,000 annually (30% AMI), 43 units will be set aside for those at 50% AMI (approximately $53,000 per year), and 89 units will be for tenants at 60% AMI (about $70,000 per year).
The project was initially approved in 2022 with plans for 64 hotel rooms, with only 10% of the units designated as affordable housing. However, in early 2024, the City Council permitted the developer to convert the hotel rooms into additional apartments, increasing the total number of units to 179.
Last summer, Kansas-based developers Chris and Bryan Elsey secured $48.7 million from California’s Affordable Housing
and Sustainable Communities Grant Program, which required the project to be fully dedicated to affordable housing.
The total project cost is estimated at $96.5 million, covered by the state grant and bond funds.
During the hearing, some residents raised concerns about the lack of larger units for low-income families with children.
Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce acknowledged the concern but emphasized that other multi-bedroom affordable housing projects are in the pipeline.
“This is part of a diverse affordable housing system that we’re attempting to build out,” Joyce said, adding that constructing extremely low-income units is a rare and challenging achievement.
Hines noted that the project will help serve people at risk of homelessness.
The Seagaze project will account for 26% of the 691 affordable units Oceanside expects to add by 2026. Other upcoming projects include the 111unit South El Camino Real development, set to break ground in the spring, featuring two- and three-bedroom units for households earning between 30% and 80% AMI.
Other potential affordable housing developments include the 199-unit Olive Park Apartments, which applied for approval earlier this year, the 43-unit Shadow Way Apartments and the 56-unit South Coast Villas.
Mayor Esther Sanchez cast the sole dissenting vote on the Seagaze financing plan, citing concerns over the small studio sizes and a 30-space parking shortfall.
“I wish we could have had a better project,” Sanchez said.
Appeal change
The Oceanside City Council has voted to expand its authority in reviewing appeals of Planning Commission decisions, allowing members to examine entire development projects rather than specific issues raised in an appeal.
The March 12 decision, approved by a 3-2 council majority, changes the appeal process to a de novo review. This means council members can now assess a project in its entirety rather than being restricted to the appeal’s listed concerns.
For years, when a resident appealed a Planning Commission decision, the City Council’s review was confined to the specific issues outlined in the appeal. The new process allows the council to consider broader aspects of a project while still requiring an appeal to be filed by a member of the public before it reaches the council.
“It is not our recommendation to remove appellants,” said City Attorney Steven Burke during the meeting.
Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce, who requested the change alongside Mayor Esther Sanchez, expressed frustration with the previous limitations.
“It’s frustrating because members of the public expect us to review a project in its entirety, and then we have a narrow scope of which we can ask questions,” Joyce said.
Some residents supported the change, including Jimmy Knott, who called it a “good step” toward improving public representation.
However, Caylin Frank of the Building Industry Association of San Diego strongly opposed the decision, warning it could create delays and discourage housing development.
“The Planning Commission already conducts thorough reviews ensuring projects align with the city’s vision and zoning laws,” Frank said. “Allowing appeals to restart the process from scratch creates avoidable delays, adds uncertainty, and discourages investment in much-needed housing.”
Frank also cautioned that the change could violate Oceanside’s state-man-

County jobless rate rises to 4.5%
By City News Service REGION
— San Diego County’s unemployment rate increased to 4.5% in January, up from a revised 4.2% in December and above the year-ago estimate of 4.3%, according to figures released last week by the state Employment Development Department.
January’s unadjusted unemployment rate was 5.5% for California and 4.4% for the nation during the same period.
An EDD spokesman said the information released Friday differs slightly from the most recent EDD report due to the U.S. Department of Labor’s annual revision process.
Between December 2024 and January 2025, total nonfarm employment decreased from 1,578,600 to 1,553,300, a drop of 25,300 jobs. Agricultural employment lost 200 jobs.
The trade, transportation, and utilities sector saw the largest decrease, recording a decline of 8,500 jobs — 60% of which were in retail trade as seasonal workers were laid off.
The transportation,
warehousing, utilities and wholesale trade subsectors also contracted payrolls by a total of 3,400 jobs.
Leisure and hospitality saw the second largest cutback in month-over-employment, losing 5,000 jobs, 86% of which were concentrated in accommodation and food services, as seasonal layoffs continued. Additionally, eight other industries lost jobs month-over-month: professional and business services, construction, financial activities, private education and health services, other services, manufacturing, government, and information lost a combined 11,800.
Government jobs saw the most significant growth, adding 9,300 — 5,200 of which were in local government. On the other hand, seven industries lost jobs over the year, led by professional and business services with a decline of 5,800. Manufacturing, trade, transportation, and utilities, financial activities, construction, information and other services further reduced employment by 10,000 jobs.

San Marcos adopts battery storage rules
City sets new safety standards amid concerns
By Leo Place
SAN MARCOS —
The San Marcos City Council adopted new guidelines for battery energy storage system facilities this week as residents continue to share concerns about proposed projects in North County.
The guidelines, adopted Tuesday, apply to all new and existing battery energy storage system projects, or BESS, exceeding 600 kilowatt hours within the San Marcos Fire Protection District. Requirements were developed to align with California Fire Code and National Fire Protection Association standards.
from residents in Eden Valley and Escondido due to its close proximity to residences and Palomar Medical Center. Last year, Escondido leaders temporarily banned new battery storage projects to allow more time to draft zoning regulations.
San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones said the city’s new guidelines will apply to Seguro, as it lies within the San Marcos Fire Protection District, but they are meant to guide all battery storage projects.
“This is not specific to Seguro; it’s related to every lithium ion BESS facility,” said San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones. “Tonight is actual policies and guidelines that are going to be a living, breathing document.”
Guidelines
the methods employed and results touted by the White House.
Musk has claimed to have already saved tens of billions in American taxpayer dollars by cutting thousands of government jobs since DOGE’s inception.
However, the DOGE website documenting these supposed savings has been rife with errors, including taking credit for terminating contracts that have already expired and overinflating reported savings by orders of magnitude higher than their actual value.
The swift and sweeping nature of Musk’s cuts to federal jobs and programs have fueled protests and boycotts of Tesla around the country, which have seemingly started to impact the auto company.
Forbes magazine reported on March 28 that Tesla stocks appear “poised to decline” for the ninth consecutive week due to “weakening brand perception” in the U.S. and
European Union, among other factors.
Over the weekend, protesters lined the street outside the Encinitas dealership, holding signs reading “Stop Trump and Musk Wrecking U.S. Gov Jobs,” “Make Lying Wrong Again,” and “Don’t Give Power to a Nazi.” The event was part of a broader demonstration organized nationally by Tesla Takedown and co-sponsored locally by Swing Left/ Take Action San Diego, the Democratic Club of Carlsbad and Oceanside and Indivisible 49.
The sheriff’s office has not connected the protest to the vandalism, and the investigation is ongoing.
Authorities urged anyone with information about the vandalism to contact the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office at (858) 868-3200 or call Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for tips leading to an arrest. Anonymous tips can be submitted online at www.sdcrimestoppers.org.
BESS facilities have been identified as a crucial means of achieving the state’s climate goals, due to their ability to store solar energy effectively. However, the safety of these projects is also under public scrutiny due to concerns about fires.
Fire Marshal Jason Nailon said the guidelines will evolve and must be updated regularly to keep up with BESS technology advancements and new regulations.
“This document serves as a best-practices guide for developer guidelines,” Nailon said. “Given the evolving nature of our BESS testing and requirements, this document is continually being developed. Staff and myself are already working on updates to version two.”
San Marcos leaders last discussed this topic in September, when the council considered a resolution to oppose the Seguro BESS project planned for the unincorporated area of Eden Valley between the borders of Escondido and San Marcos. The council chose not to take a stance on Seguro then, but instead developed regulations for these projects.
The Seguro project has drawn strong opposition
The 20-page guideline document lists several requirements for proposed projects, including 100-foot setbacks from lot lines of residential, educational and institutional uses, 10 feet of distance between each storage container, emergency vehicle access roads within 150 feet of all parts of the facility, and water supplies onsite in case of fires.
Developers must also submit reports related to plume modeling, hazard mitigation, explosion control systems, emergency preparedness plans, proof of large-scale fire testing, and demonstration of compliance with applicable fire codes.
Concerns about BESS facilities have risen in recent years due to thermal runaway events, which occur when a battery’s temperature rises rapidly and uncontrollably, causing a fire. These incidents can release dangerous chemicals into the air or cause them to leak into the earth.
In September, a blaze broke out at a San Diego Gas & Electric lithium ion battery facility in Escondido, resulting in the closure of several schools and the evacuation of nearby businesses. The fire was limited to one battery container, but
County OKs road upgrades

VALLEY
CENTER
— The San Diego County Board of Supervisors on March 12 unanimously approved a concept plan for a portion of a road in the Valley Center community that features safety improvements, including a roundabout.
According to the county Land Use and Environment Group, the Valley Center Road Corridor Concept Plan and an accompanying ordinance will “improve safety and traffic flow considering all road-user types,'' including bicyclists, drivers and pedestrians in North and South Villages of Valley Center.
Some of the plan features are:
it still stoked residents’ worries about the impact on air quality.
In January, a large blaze burned for several days at the Moss Landing BESS facility in Northern California, causing the evacuation of over 1,200 residents. A group of residents have since filed a lawsuit against facility owner Vistra and other entities, claiming they failed to implement sufficient fire safety measures.
In San Marcos, residents said the high wildfire risk in the area makes it even more important to have guidelines in place for battery energy storage.
“I want to thank the city council and the fire department for being at the forefront of ensuring that this city has comprehensive protection guidelines for BESS facilities,” said San Elijo resident Lindsey Smith.
Phyllis Laderman, who lives on Surrey Lane directly adjacent to the proposed Seguro site, said she is grateful to see regulations but would like them to be more strict.
“I’m glad to see them, I actually personally don’t feel they go far enough, but that’s because I have a personal vested interest in all of this,” Laderman said. “I would really urge that you approve this, because it is a starting place.”
Increasing education
Despite community concern, energy leaders in the county say the technology for battery energy storage is much safer than in the past. Data from the Electric Power Research Institute indicates that BESS facility incidents are decreasing even as the number of projects grows.
At the Clean Energy Alliance’s Feb. 28 board meeting, leaders said the facilities experiencing fire incidents are “legacy” projects utilizing old technology, which have a higher chance of thermal runaway than new projects.
“The incidents that happened here in our region
• a two-lane roundabout at the intersection of Miller and Valley Center roads, and a multi-use path outside of the vehicle travel lanes;
• crosswalks at intersections near a public road;
• a separated bikeway on both sides of Valley Center Road throughout the corridor;
• traffic signals at the Sunday Drive and Old Road intersections;
• a controlled pedestrian signal at Rinehart Lane;
• extending the sidewalk on the corridor's east and south sides;
• maintaining the Heritage Trail pathway on the corridor's west and north sides, with minor modifications at the roundabout to accommodate the multi-use path, and at planned curb extensions.
Valley Center, located in northern San Diego County, has a population of just over 10,000. The community is known for its agriculture and rural character but has experienced some growth in recent years.
According to the county, the long-term Valley Center Road plan would be developed using grants and discretionary permit approvals for private and capital improvement projects when funding is available.

ask mr. marketing rob weinberg Spring for the twenty
At last night's chamber of commerce event, I met someone who helps 20-somethings plan for retirement. Her business card had basic contact information, disclaimers in mouse type, and a ¼-inch corporate logo.
It was hardly memorable, but who cares, right? After all, I'm not her prospect.
Still, one thing caught my eye: The corporate switchboard number had been crossed out, leaving only her cell number legible. She said she prefers people calling her directly to build relationships with them and risks losing control if calls go to HQ. Given that service businesses are typically built on relationships, I respect her motives…just not her strategy. Call me old-fashioned, but to me a crossedout number just looks amateurish.
Of course, there are situations she encounters where the corporate phone number must be in place, and in those circumstances she doesn't touch it. She only skirts that rule when she can.
Making matters worse, because she works entirely on commission, she wants to use her existing inventory of cards before printing anything new.
As a business owner, I understand the importance of watching expenses.
But when you consider that for $20 she could print a second business card exactly like the first but with just her phone number on it, why not opt for the professional image?
After all, she's already investing time and money in events that will presumably expose her to the right kind of clientele. And if she picks up one new customer, the cards will have more than paid for themselves.
I know that many people don't use business cards anymore, thinking that having their phones kiss is enough to leave an impression.
But the reality is leaving a conversation holding something tangible can significantly improve someone remembering you and wanting to do business with you.
If you have a business card that is both branded and memorable, you're
Madison wins Tri-City basketball tournament
By Staff CARLSBAD
— Madison Middle School won the first-ever Tri-City Invitational basketball tournament, defeating Double Peak 47-40 in the championship game on March 15 at the Carlsbad Boys & Girls Club.
The tournament brought together top middle school teams from North County, including Calavera Hills (Carlsbad), Martin Luther King (Oceanside), Madison (Vista), and Double Peak (San Marcos).
The event aimed to highlight young talent while reducing financial barriers to competitive sports.
In the semifinals, Double Peak advanced past Martin Luther King, while Madison secured its spot in the title game with a win over Calavera Hills. The final was a hard-fought contest, with both teams showcasing strong shooting, ball movement and defensive play.
The Mustangs’ standout performers included Irfaan Sidiqi, Blake Ramos and Marcus McFerran, while Double Peak was led by Steven Stagnaro. McFerran was named the tournament’s most valuable player.
After the game, Madison players received medals and hoisted the inaugural championship trophy as fans cheered.
The event drew more than 200 spectators, including parents, community leaders and high school coaches. Organizers said the tournament was as much about mentorship and community engagement as it was about basketball.
“This tournament was about more than basketball,” said Allen Newsome III, president of Tri-City Athletic Club, a nonprofit organization behind the event. “It was about providing a platform for these young athletes to shine, to compete at the highest level, and to know that their hard work matters — re -
gardless of financial background.”
Carlsbad Boys & Girls Club CEO Chad Nelson called the turnout, competition and energy “everything we hoped for and more.”
“We saw young athletes push themselves, support each other, and embrace the values of leadership and perseverance,” Nelson said.
The tournament was free for all participants, and financial support was provided by Abigail’s Medical Supply, The Players Promise, Carlsbad Boys & Girls Club, Vista Boys & Girls Club, Surf Brothers Teriyaki, Galvanized Strategies and Robcon Realty.
Organizers said they hope to expand the event
in 2026 to include middle school teams from Escondido, Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Encinitas and Del Mar.
“Our dream is to hold this tournament at Front Wave Arena,” said Aaron Byzak, director of the TriCity Athletic Club, referring to the new Oceanside venue that hosts the Los Angeles Clippers’ G League team. “We see the Tri-City Invitational as a way to bring talented young athletes and the community together and want this to grow into a must-attend event in North County.”
Tri-City Athletic Club, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, seeks sponsors to help expand future tournaments, mentorship programs and academic initiatives.

Students honored in C-SPAN contest
By Walker Armstrong CARLSBAD —
Three students from Community Montessori in Carlsbad have received honorable mention in C-SPAN’s 21st annual StudentCam film competition, a national documentary contest encouraging students to explore issues of importance to their communities.
Devin Mingardi, Vincent Chase and Wesley Robson were recognized for their documentary, "The Price of Life: America's Healthcare Crisis," and will each receive a $250 award.
The competition, which drew over 1,700 entries from nearly 3,500 students across 42 states and Washington, D.C., challenged participants to craft short documentaries under the theme, “Your Message to the President: What issue is most important to you or your community?”
Craig McAndrew, C-SPAN’s director of education relations, commended students for their dedication to research and storytelling.
“Through in-depth research and interviews with an array of topical and technical experts,
[these students] have crafted impactful short stories that capture issues of wide public interest and importance,” McAndrew said. “[Their] documentaries set a very high bar for future StudentCam filmmakers, and [they] should be proud knowing [their] work will inspire [their] peers and foster thoughtful consideration from all audiences.”
Robert Clark, an educator at Community Montessori, was also recognized for his advice to students throughout the competition.
Harper Haden and Helena de la Houssaye, students at Correia Middle School in San Diego, earned second place in the competition for their documentary, “One Pill Can Kill,” which examines the impact of fentanyl trafficking across the U.S.-Mexico border. The film will be broadcast on C-SPAN on April 9 at 6:50 a.m. ET, with additional airings throughout the day. StudentCam, funded by the C-SPAN Education Foundation, has awarded over $1.6 million in prizes since its inception in 2004. The winning videos can be viewed at studentcam.org.

County home prices up last month
By City News Service
REGION — Home prices in San Diego County rose in February compared to the previous month, and they were still higher than housing prices one year ago, the California Association of Realtors announced this week.
Last month, the $1.04 million median price of an existing single-family home in the San Diego area reflected a 1.0% increase from January’s $1.03 million sales price. The February figure was a 6.1% increase from $980,000 one year ago, according to the report.
February’s statewide median home price was $829,060, down 1.2% from January but up 2.8% from $806,480 in February 2024. Year-to-date statewide home sales edged up 2.6%, the survey said.

However, the downward trend in the statewide median price will likely reverse in the coming months, as home prices typically begin rising in March and continue climbing until the end of the homebuying season in August, according to the report.

“If the city moves forward with the change, we believe the California Department of Housing and Community Development will take enforcement action as they have before against other noncompliant jurisdictions,” she said.

“The new sea walls would tie into, and be dependent on, an unpermitted sea wall that’s located immediately up close to the staircase,” a staff member said.
The project has drawn support and opposition from community members and advocacy groups.
In a letter to the commission, Surfrider Foundation argued that the project relies too heavily on coastal armoring which could exacerbate erosion and limit public beach access. The group also criticized the lack of consideration for alternative designs, citing other coastal staircases in Carlsbad and Encinitas that do not rely on seawalls.

“Lower borrowing costs made homeownership more accessible to buyers who were previously sidelined by affordability challenges, while the rise in available inventory will help ease some of the competitive pressures that have defined the market in recent years and set a positive tone for the market for the rest of the year.’’
The median number of days it took to sell a California single-family home in February was 26 days, up from 22 days in February 2024.
City Manager Jonathan Borrego, however, said the change could make the process more efficient by streamlining staff presentations.
“It could make our job easier,” Borrego said, explaining that staff often conduct an “exhaustive analysis” of 10 to 15 different appeal issues. Under the new process, they would still consider those issues but present a comprehensive project review for the council.

“These men were looking for good jobs so they could provide for their families and build a future,’’ said Agnieszka Fryszman, one of the attorneys representing the plaintiffs. “Instead, they allege, they were trapped — isolated at sea, beaten with metal hooks, not getting enough food, working around the clock — and facing financial penalties if they tried to leave.’’
Three of the men allege they were beaten or stabbed by the ship’s captain, while the fourth man claims he suffered severe burn injuries in an accident but was denied medical care and not permitted to leave the vessel.
One of the plaintiffs, Akhmad, said he was forced to continue working for two weeks after his leg was cut open from thigh to shin, exposing his bone.
Another, Angga, alleges he was stabbed with a needle and later discovered that none of the wages he was supposed to receive for “many months’’ of work had been sent to his family.
The lawsuit alleges that fishing vessels in Bumble Bee’s supply chain keep workers at sea for prolonged periods, preventing them from leaving and isolating them from sources of help.
analysis did not occur,” wrote Mitch Silverstein, Surfrider’s policy coordinator for San Diego County.
“This oversight, along with an incorrect interpretation of when coastal armoring is allowable per Carlsbad’s
LCP, has led to a locally-approved project that relies excessively on armoring and artificial bluff infill.”
Residents, including frequent Terramar beachgoers and surfers, submitted written comments
The men say they were threatened with financial penalties for attempting to quit and that deductions, fees, and fines were imposed on their wages.
Bumble Bee representatives said the company will not comment on pending litigation.
Bumble Bee, one of the world’s largest seafood brands, has faced scrutiny in recent years over alleged labor abuses in its global supply chain. The company’s tuna is sourced through “distant-water fishing,” a practice U.S. Customs and Border Protection recognizes as a practice at “high risk for forced labor.”
In 2022, nonprofit group International Labor Rights Forum sued Bumble Bee and its subsidiary Taiwan-based Fong Chun Formosa Fishery Company, Ltd., alleging forced labor and inadequate worker-safety standards.
“We continue to work within our supply chain, with others in the tuna industry and through the Seafood Task Force to make the responsible recruitment and treatment of all workers an ongoing top priority,” the company said at the time.
The most recent complaint seeks financial damages for the plaintiffs and policy changes.
“Our clients are seeking justice not only for themselves but to implement changes that will protect other fishers, including men at sea right now on the same boats,’’ Fryszman said.
raising concerns about the impact on wave conditions and long-term sand loss. Others, however, have expressed support for immediate repairs, pointing to safety risks posed by the deteriorating structure. The Carlsbad Planning Commission unanimously approved the project in December, with project engineer Walt Crampton warning that the stairway could collapse without repairs.
The Coastal Commission’s determination that the appeal raises a substantial issue means that the project will now undergo a full de novo hearing, during which commissioners will decide whether to approve, modify or reject the proposed repairs.
“It’s just a matter of time before the stairway collapses,” Crampton said at the December hearing. “These treads are dangerous … and it’s just a matter of time before many people get hurt.”

‘Calm’ Badrani races to NCAA title
CSUSM junior rallies to win 400 at DII meet
By Noah Perkins
Cal State San Marcos junior sprinter Rasha Badrani joined the cross-country team as a freshman at San Pasqual High School in Escondido to lose weight.
“I hated cross country; it was awful,” Badrani remembered.
Seven years later, the girl who didn’t like to run has sprinted to a national championship.
Badrani won the 400 meters at the NCAA Division II Indoor Track and Field Championships on Saturday at Fall Creek Pavilion at the Indiana State Fairgrounds and Event Center.
“It feels unreal,” Badrani told The Coast News. “Winning a national title is something I’ve always dreamt about. I never thought I was capable of achieving it. It feels good that all the hard work my coach and I put in has paid off.”
Badrani tied her personal best of 52.92 seconds, crossing the finish line 0.28 seconds ahead of runner-up Peace Nwaelehia from West Texas A&M.
After a sluggish start off the blocks, she completed the first lap in the twolap sprint in 25.50 seconds — the slowest in her heat. Badrani surged in the second lap, recording the fastest split of 27.42 seconds.
CSUSM track and field assistant coach Anthony Heredia, who leads the sprinters and hurdlers, wanted Badrani to start the race at a faster pace.
“It was scary,” Badrani said. “I got out and realized
I was 50 meters behind [the other runners]. I knew as the race went by I’d be able to pick them off one by one. Towards the end it was just sprinting and I gave it everything I had left.”
“She tends to be a little slower out of the blocks and stronger coming home,” head coach Torrey Olson added. “It makes for very exciting races. It is hard to move past people indoor. There is the conventional race model, but then there are the athletes and their strengths. It would have been ideal to be out a little bit faster but at the same time that’s the way competitions end up. She did not panic, and she did a great job responding to the situation.”
During the warmups, Badrani said she envisioned the race: getting out of the blocks and cutting in, finishing the first lap, and repeating the race strategy in her head.
“I wanted to stay with them and that didn’t go according to plan,” Badrani
said. “I stayed calm. In the last 100 I told myself to stay big and open in my strides. A lot of people get small and that’s what costs them time.”
Badrani is the only female runner at the Division II level to record a time under 53 seconds this season, placing her eighth on the all-time Division II list.
The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association named her a firstteam All-American.
“She holds herself to a super high standard across the board,” Olson said. “With so many athletes who become successful it starts with having that internal drive. She is extremely consistent, dedicated, passionate and sets really high goals for herself. She is not outworked by anybody.”
During the indoor season, Badrani shaved time, improving from 55 to less than 53 seconds in the 400.
“That’s a massive jump at this level,” Olson said. “She is very comfortable looking ahead and setting
NCAA Tournament
UCSD men, women qualify in first year
By Staff REGION —
UC San Diego’s men's and women’s basketball teams reached the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history.
And the Tritons did it the first year they were eligible.
The UCSD men (304), seeded 12th, played fifth-seeded Michigan in a first-round game Thursday in Denver. The 16th-seeded UCSD women (20-15) took on Southern in a play-in game on Wednesday, with the winner facing top-seeded UCLA in Los Angeles on Friday. (Both games ended too late to be included in this edition.)
UC San Diego was postseason eligible this year after waiting four years for reclassification from NCAA Division II. Both teams won Big West tournament
titles to earn automatic NCAA tournament bids.
San Diego State also sent both its men’s and women’s teams to the NCAA tournament.
The stay was short for the 11th-seeded men (2110), who were bounced by North Carolina, 95-68, in a play-in game on Tuesday pitting two of the four lowest-seeded at-large teams.
This was the fifth consecutive season the Aztecs reached the NCAA tournament; they reached the Sweet 16 last year.
The 14th-seeded Aztecs women (25-9) face third-seeded LSU (28-5) in Baton Rouge on Saturday at 7:15 p.m. (ESPN).
SDSU’s women earned an automatic bid by winning the Mountan West Conference tournament in triple overtime against Wyoming.
meaningful and challenging goals and working towards them.”
Badrani arrived back on campus Sunday and was ready for practice Monday.
“She had the option of not coming in on Monday but she said, ‘No I like coming to the lift, I will be there tomorrow,’” Olson said.
“My goal is to keep dropping time,” Badrani added. “I want to compete with the best and win a national title outdoors. I also have my eyes set for worlds [World Athletics Championships] in Tokyo this September.”
Badrani competes internationally for Lebanon’s national team.
“Rasha has room to continue developing physically and mentally,” Olson said. “She’s not the kind of person to be like, ‘Now I did that, I can relax for a while.’ She takes progress and it bolsters her motivation.”
The victory marks the first NCAA national championship for the CSUSM track and field program. Badrani is the second athlete in the school’s history to claim an NCAA title, following Jaime Jacob, who triumphed in the 2019 women’s golf individual championship.
Badrani’s win contributed 10 points to CSUSM’s total, resulting in a tie with Stanislaus State for 19th place in the team standings.
“The support from my coaches and teammates [is something I will always remember,” she said. “I was the only one there and I got videos from the watch party of everyone cheering and screaming me on. It’s the one thing I haven’t been able to forget. Watching how happy my teammates were for me has been my favorite part of this whole thing.”
Wave ties Angel City to open NWSL season
By Staff
REGION — San Diego Wave FC earned a 1-1 draw against Angel City FC in the club’s NWSL season opener at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Midfielder Gia Corley scored the team’s lone goal in her NWSL debut.
In the fifth minute, forward French international Delphine Cascarino charged down the right flank and set up Corley in front of goal. She finished from close range to score the Wave’s first goal of the 2025 season and give the team the lead.
Goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan kept it a 1-0 match in the 19th minute with a double save. She made a point-blank save of Clair Emsle’s shot off an Alyssa Thompson cross to the far post, then stopped Giselle Thompson’s attempt off the rebound.
Angel City broke through in the 54th minute when midfielder Kennedy
Fuller played a ball over the top to an ongoing Alyssa Thompson, who slotted a shot to the far post. In the lead-up to the match, both teams joined together to demonstrate support for the L.A. community after January’s devastating wildfires.
The Wave supported Angel City’s “Seats of Strength” initiative for the match, a program that allows fans to purchase tickets to a game at BMO Stadium for first responders and those impacted by the fires.
The Wave’s match kits featured limited-edition San Diego Fire-Rescue Department patches on the back of the player jerseys to highlight its ongoing partnership with the local fire department.
San Diego hosts Utah on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Snapdragon Stadium in the club’s home opener.

Vista declares short-term rental a nuisance
‘Outrageous’
parties disturb neighborhood
By Leo Place
VISTA — City officials have declared an unlicensed short-term rental in Vista a public nuisance in the face of dozens of complaints from neighbors, multiple code violations, and nearly $18,000 in unpaid citations.
On March 11, the Vista City Council unanimously approved the public nuisance abatement at 853 Crescent Drive, located on a quiet residential street east of Vista Village. This includes placing a lien on the property to pay off the citations.
Neighbors say that for the past year and a half, the home has been the site of large, raucous parties lasting late into the night. Young people drink, make noise and congeal the small street with cars.
The Crescent Drive home has not obtained a short-term rental (STR) permit, business license, or paid transit occupancy tax to the city, violating Vista’s STR ordinance adopted in June 2024.
Despite repeated citations from the city since August and two cease-anddesist letters, the property continued to host guests as recently as early March.
“We won’t issue them
an STR license at this point, based on all their prior actions,” said City Attorney Walter Chung.
The home has been listed on various short-term rental websites, including Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO, under “The Fun House,” boasting a large backyard with basketball and pickleball courts. These listings were removed last week.
The Sheriff’s Office responded to 17 incidents at the house from January 2024 to February 2025, mainly for parties and incidents of grand theft and armed and suspicious indi-
viduals, city officials said.
Neighbors said the property owner has done nothing to address the issues after repeated conversations. They have filed nearly 40 complaints with the city of Vista.
“It has taken 17 months to get here tonight, and we are here after much effort. It hasn’t been an easy 17 months, as it has taken a toll on my health and my neighbors’ health,” said resident Anna Strong.
Daniel Soraci, who manages the property for his father, Antonio Soraci, explained at the March 11 council meeting that he at-
tempted to bring the rental into compliance but didn’t know he was supposed to obtain a license or STR permit until October.
Soraci also said he missed many of the city’s notices because he didn’t check the mail at the Crescent Drive property.
Soraci acknowledged that some parties got out of control in the early days of Airbnb operations but said he sought to address these issues with a two-night minimum stay, stricter house rules, and proactive communication.
“If I receive reports of unauthorized gatherings
from neighbors, I take immediate action by contacting the guests if necessary, or Airbnb support,” Soraci said. “I fully understand the impact that noise disturbances can have in a community, and I want to make sure I remain committed to maintaining a peaceful environment.”
However, neighbors refuted this. Bill Froelich said that about a month and a half ago, when he reached out about an “outrageous” party held at the house, Soraci simply told him to call the cops.
“I don’t see any effort on the owner or Daniel the manager’s part to curtail these types of events when they start happening,” said Froelich. “He did nothing, he has done nothing, [and] I don’t expect him to do anything.”
An initial notice of violation was issued to Antonio
Soraci on Aug. 12, ordering him to complete STR and transient occupancy tax documents and obtain a business license within two weeks.
The property began to rack up fees after repeated findings of continued violations, eventually growing to $2,000 per violation. As of March 11, code enforcement officials said none of the $17,875 in citations had been paid off.
City staff said that despite ongoing enforcement, the property has generated around $42,000 in revenue without paying the city’s hotel tax. Members of the City Council said they would not tolerate any more violations.
“Not only is it disrespectful to our residents and our city, it is also a waste of resources to have to send our deputies to this home,” said Councilmember Dan O’Donnell.

Mastering the art of seed starting: Where to begin
In the eight years since starting vegetable seed indoors, I have tried numerous products. The students in my Carlsbad Senior Garden and I have experimented with plastic sixpacks, peat pots, even egg cartons.
But the product that now gets the prize for container of the year is a half-dollar shaped pod, filled with lightweight sterile soil, called Jiffy Pods or Jiffy Soil Pellets.
We all agree that whoever invented this product should be making a million dollars; needless to say, we are some of their best customers.
Whichever container you choose to work with, line up in a plastic storage box, such as a sandwich box. To begin your seed starting project, gather your pots on your worktable and begin the process.
If you are using empty containers, purchase a 5-pound bag of seed-starting mix or lightweight potting mix.
HOW TO START YOUR SEEDS
• Choose at least six of
the containers mentioned above (or one six-pack). I encourage new gardeners to start with six containers to plant six varieties of seed (suggestions below).
• If you are using an empty container, fill with high quality seed starting mix or potting mix about ¾ full.
• When using Jiffy Pods, place in a small plastic storage box and they will expand.
• Water all just until water comes out of the holes.
• Using a pencil or your finger, make a hole that is twice the depth of the seed.
(For example, a zucchini seed would be planted 1 inch deep)
• Place two large seeds in the hole, cover with soil and tamp down.
• The final step is to place your containers in a larger plastic box with lid.
• Find a warm table near a window, but do not place in hot sun. Cover with lid, allow to begin the germination process to begin. Open once per day for air circulation.
• After three days, open lid, but don’t add water until dry.
• Seeds should emerge in 5-7 days.
CHOOSE SEEDS WISELY
I advise all new gardeners who just can’t wait to get started to choose six varieties of seed that will almost always germinate.
We start with six so that you can evaluate your success and move on to more varieties.
The largest, most robust seeds are any in the squash family such as pumpkin, zucchini, summer squash and gourds. All peas and beans germinate quickly, as do all cucumbers and nasturtium.
The seed that gives gar-
RAIN,
“The
three
deners the most trouble as far as germinating are tiny seeds such as petunias, poppy, lettuce and some greens. We will cover the difficult seeds at a later date.
HARDENING OFF
As soon as your little sprouts reach at least 2-3 inches, you can begin “hardening them off,” which is the process of toughening them to be ready to plant outdoors.
Place in a cool but welllit room and allow them to grow in their containers until at least 5 inches tall.
Be sure to rotate daily,
so they don’t get leggy and fall over!
Next time we will talk about that exciting process of taking your little babies outside! Just like learning how to ride a bike, practice makes perfect.

Developer buys nursery for mixed-use project
By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE
— A developer plans to convert a longtime plant nursery into a mixed-use community along Oceanside Boulevard.
Lehi Property Development LLC purchased the 68.3-acre property at 3231 Oceanside Blvd in early March for $18 million. The site, currently home to Moon Valley Nursery, has operated as a nursery for over two decades.
Dallas-based real estate firm CBRE represented the seller, with Matt Carlson, Hunter Rowe, Camille Doan, Will Pike, Barbara Perrier, Mike Longo and Joe Cesta handling the transaction.
While the property is zoned for industrial use and could accommodate future industrial developments, the developer intends to seek a zoning change to allow for a mixed-use project. Similar properties across
council agreed to a variable schedule with 10% increases in 2026 and 2027, 8% in 2028, and 7% in 2029 and 2030.
The city also agreed to reassess rates in 2028 if they need to be adjusted.
Under this schedule, rates would increase from $750.54 in 2026 to $1,020.84 in 2030. These proposed rates must now be confirmed at a public hearing on May 7.
“We do have to acknowledge that we haven’t raised rates in five years, so people have had a really nice time of really steady rates from us,” said Councilmember Dave Zito.
“Over time, I’d also like to plan for minimizing rate shock to our ratepayers and not having to shock them with really large increases.”
Different rate scenarios were developed based on a three-year estimate of capital improvement needs from the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority (JPA), which manages all wastewater services for Solana Beach, Encinitas and Del Mar.
While rates usually are adopted on a five-year
California are being considered for rezoning as cities work to meet state-mandated housing requirements.
“The buyer intends to transform this rare 68-acre coastal site into a vibrant mixed-use community that exemplifies the power of visionary development,” said Carlson, executive vice president at CBRE. “By navigating the complexities of
rezoning and leveraging the unique topography, the buyer’s plan to build additional housing will not only maximize the land’s potential but also contribute to the region’s growth and sustainability.”
CBRE representatives noted that the city has been focusing on its Smart and Sustainable Corridors Specific Plan, which aims to
revitalize Oceanside Boulevard and other key areas through mixed-use, infill and redevelopment projects designed to be pedestrian, bicycle and transit-friendly while preserving open space and reducing urban sprawl.
“Despite having multiple offers from a wide range of industrial developers, our team is pleased with the vision set forth by the buyer and supporting a higher and better use for such a large land site in San Diego County,” said Rowe, a CBRE First Vice President.
The proposed project is still in its early stages, with the developer expected to seek city approval for rezoning and development plans.
Youth Commission
The City Council officially reestablished the Youth Commission on March 12 after a 15-year hiatus, unanimously approving its return and adopting
schedule, council members said they preferred to bring rates back for review in three years, as the San Elijo JPA is still completing its full facilities master plan with exact project costs for the coming years.
At this point, the San Elijo JPA expects to need around $9.6 million in capital improvement over the next three years.
These projects include safety improvements to headworks, which block large debris early in the water treatment process; refurbishment of sedimentation tanks, which remove particles from water; replacement of the RAS (return activated sludge) pipes; and refurbishments of digesters, which prepare solid material removed
its bylaws.
The decision follows a months-long effort by local teens advocating for a platform to have their voices heard on city issues.
“While the prior commission was dissolved almost 15 years ago, the need for youth input remains an important element to informing the city’s work,” said Oceanside Library Division Manager Marie Town.
The Youth Commission will give Oceanside’s high school students an opportunity to engage in local government and provide input on decisions affecting the city’s youth.
The city previously had a Youth Commission from 1999 to 2010, but it was dissolved due to commission consolidation and attendance issues that led to frequent meeting cancellations in its final two years.

In addition to contributions from member agencies, the San Elijo JPA’s capital projects are also funded by recycled water revenue, financing such as bonds, and grants.
The city also has to consider how to maintain a minimum level of reserves in its Sanitation Fund, which can also be used to fund capital improvement projects. Presently, the city’s reserves are projected at around $12.5 million for fiscal year 2025, well above the target of $7.2 million.
junior Lanae Branch, who led efforts to bring back the commission in October, emphasized its importance.
“This isn’t just about creating a symbolic group, it’s about ensuring that students will always have a seat at the table,” Branch said. “There were concerns about whether young people will step up or not, but my presence here and so many other engaged young leaders proves we are serious. There are students ready to serve, ready to engage, and ready to bring fresh perspectives to issues that impact us all.”
The Youth Commission will consist of nine regular members and two alternates, meeting bimonthly with support from library staff. Members must be Oceanside residents in grades 9-12, and the commission’s composition will reflect the city’s demographics, diversity, and four council districts.
what we net at the end with being able to have our reserves in a healthier place,” said Councilmember Jewel Edson.
By next year, this rate increase will give Solana Beach one of the more expensive annual sewer costs compared to other agencies’ current rates, including Escondido ($725), Poway $723), Vista $708), Cardiff ($663), Carlsbad ($646), Encinitas $635), Leucadia Wastewater District ($517) and Vallecitos Water District ($468).

Some city council members advocated for a rate scenario with an 8% increase annually for the next five years. However, they recognized that the other scenario would result in higher reserve savings for a small rate difference.
“I know we have these water rates that are going up exponentially and other rates as well, but when it comes down to $13.66 cents, it doesn't seem that dramatic when you look at
However, Solana Beach Finance Director Rachel Jacobs noted that these figures are based on 2025 rates, and several cities will also increase their rates in the coming years.
"Several of them, as you can see here, have rate increases that will be happening in 2026, so a lot of those will put us not as much on the top end as we would be with the proposed increases, but kind of level us more into the middle,” Jacobs said.

Cork & Craft: Where beer, wine, food converge
Where else can you enjoy craft beer, housemade wine, and a chef-driven menu all under one roof? The Cork & Craft at Abnormal is San Diego’s only restaurant, winery and brewery in one location, offering a unique experience for food and beverage lovers.
Whether you’re sipping on a house-crafted beer, enjoying a glass of in-house wine, or indulging in a thoughtfully prepared dish, passion and creativity are evident in every detail.
With multiple seating options, guests can dine indoors, relax on the outdoor patio, sit at the bar, or book The Library, a private space for special events. The restaurant features 40 taps, including Abnormal’s signature brews alongside guest draft beers.
The house-created wines provide an alternative for those looking beyond beer. The gastropub menu blends refined techniques with comforting flavors.
Recently, owner and executive chef Ethan Yang of GlassBox joined Cork & Craft as a managing partner, bringing his expertise and innovative approach to the dynamic kitchen team led by executive chef Scott Cannon.
Terry Tse, Ethan’s general manager and director of operations at GlassBox, has also joined as general manager and director of operations, ensuring seamless service. With this powerhouse team, Cork & Craft is reintroducing a refined dinner menu previously offered before the pandemic.
Executive chef Scott Cannon has shaped the restaurant’s identity by blending elevated flavors with approachable dining since joining The Cork & Craft at Abnormal in 2016. A Central Valley native from Coalinga near Fresno, Cannon’s culinary journey took
a turn when he switched from studying heating, ventilation and air conditioning to culinary arts at the American Institute of Technology.
After graduating in 2005, Cannon moved to San Diego, where he trained under executive chef Paul McCabe at L’Auberge Del Mar, refining his skills in fine dining. In 2010, he spent time in Oregon, but San Diego’s vibrant food scene drew him back in 2012. He worked at Delicias in Rancho Santa Fe and Jake’s Del Mar before finding his home at Cork & Craft.
Cannon’s talent earned him a 2018 Zagat “30 Under 30” finalist distinction. As Cork & Craft reintroduces its formal dinner menu, he leads the kitchen with refined techniques, inventive dishes, and a commitment to creating memorable dining experiences.
Our server, Gavin Hole, and Cannon welcomed us shortly after arriving. Wanting us to experience the menu entirely, Cannon suggested we try something from each section. With Gavin’s expert beer pairings, each dish reached another level.
We started with the roasted carrot hummus served with house-made naan, pickled red onion and tzatziki. Cannon’s passion for making naan was
evident — the fried naan was golden and crisp on the outside, yet warm and pillowy inside. Gavin paired it with Familia, a light Mexican-style lager. Its malt-forward character, subtle corn sweetness, and citrusy lime notes from Motueka hops balanced the hummus and enhanced the naan.
Next, the seared salmon arrived, plated with celery root mashed potatoes, broccoli and an apple cider butter emulsion. The buttery emulsion added richness, while the slightly sweet celery root mash provided depth. Gavin recommended the Abnormalweiss, a light and aromatic wheat beer with clove notes and fruity hints of banana and citrus. The citrus and spice balanced the dish, making for
a harmonious pairing.
For our main entrée, we had braised short rib served over pumpkin risotto with bok choy and a spiced demi-glace. The fork-tender short rib was flavorful, and the spiced demi-glace added layers of richness.
Gavin paired this dish with Abnormal Brown Ale, a light-bodied brew with chocolate and toffee notes and a smooth finish. The nutty depth of the brown ale complemented the demi-glace, making for a standout pairing.
As we were winding down, Cannon recommended garlic noodles as a surprise dish from the “Extras” menu. This deceptively simple yet bold dish featured thick spaghetti-like noodles tossed with cremini mush-
rooms, fresh Parmesan, scallions and confit garlic, finished with soy sauce.
Gavin paired it with Abnormal Mocha Stout, brewed with cacao nibs, lactose and local coffee. Initially, I wasn’t sure how it would work, but after three perfect pairings, I trusted Gavin’s instincts. He was spot on again.
The deep, roasted coffee notes and creamy texture of the stout paired beautifully with the umami-rich noodles.
For dessert, Frank and I both had our eyes on the crème brûlée bread pudding, and Cannon confirmed it was the way to go. The brioche bread pudding was topped with seasonal mixed berries, currently blueberries then warmed in the oven and finished with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
The contrast between warm, custardy bread pudding and cold, creamy ice cream was heavenly. Paired with a few remaining sips of Mocha Stout, the deep chocolate and coffee notes enhanced the dessert, making it the perfect sweet finale.
With beloved gastropub favorites that pair seamlessly with its housebrewed beers and wines and a new refined dinner menu in the works, Cork & Craft is a North County gem that
should be on every food lover’s radar.

Art & AI: Words of the masters
By Bob Coletti
In a sunlit studio in San Diego, an artist sits before a massive canvas, a brush poised between his fingers. His work is bold, abstract and filled with raw emotion, yet something feels missing.
In the mid-1970s, the surfing world suffered from a hangover after the mid-60s “shortboard revolution” began growing stale.
Leader of a surf revolution water spot
The leaders of the movement — Nat Young and Bob McTavish in Australia, Corky Carroll and Rolf Aurness in California — were still relevant, but their surfing styles were fading from style.
Bottom turn, pull in, get barreled, kick out. Cool, but after a while…
In Hawaii, the vacuum was filled by Gerry Lopez, Barry Kanaiaupuni, and Jeff Hackman. Few California stars decorated international skies. Then, just as the Hawaiians were hitting stride, a second Aussie wave hit the shore running.
Led by Mark Richards, Peter Townend, Ian Cairns and Rabbit Bartholomew, the Australians dominated the new world, tore up the waves along with the old rules and swept almost every major event they entered, leaving American power brokers struggling to catch up.
The door had been busted down, and the Americans were now knocking to get in, much as they had when boards first went short in the ‘60s. In 1971, South African Gavin Rudolph caused a blip on the radar when he seemingly came from nowhere to win big in Hawaii.
This would be followed up some four years later by an 18-year-old South African who proved that Rudolph’s win was no fluke.
Shaun Tomson had it all. If he had wanted, his movie star looks could have led him to play the role of a top pro surfer on the big screen. But he didn’t need to pretend to be someone else — he was the real thing, and in mine and the opinion of many, ranked as the best surfer in the world for a time.
By 1975, Tomson and his cousin, Michael Tomson, had become part of the “Free Ride” generation.
chris ahrens
Named after the most popular surf movie of the time, the band of gypsies surfed more radically than anyone prior.
When Michael Tomson dropped from surfing’s world title race, Shaun was the lone spoiler against the dominant Australians.
Footage of Shaun taking off behind Richards, who would become a fourtime world champion, where Tomson squeezed out of the tube behind Richards, may not have been a deadly wooden spike, but it was undoubtedly a splinter in the side of Aussie rules.
Tomson won his lone world title in 1977. Although this is impressive, it falls short of recognizing Shaun’s innovations in tube riding and pulling through the back of a closed-out wave. It also gives no hint at Tomson’s humanitarian efforts.
Okay, this is the part when I get to name-drop. This just in from Shaun Tomson:
“Chris Ahrens brings to life rumors and forgotten, half-told stories about Windansea and its surf community. His story about Woody Brown and Dickie Cross paddling down from closed-out Sunset Beach to Waimea Bay as the sun was setting is truly bone-chilling and brings to life every surfer’s most elemental fear — being caught out alone at night in monster surf.
“This story alone is worth the price of admission to be immersed in a rich and fascinating culture. Buy it and leave it open on the coffee table so your friends can disappear into its lore of surf.”
Thank you, Shaun.

No matter how many colors he layers or how many unconventional techniques he employs, he cannot shake the feeling that his work lacks depth. It is as though he is skimming the surface of something profound but never quite diving in.
Frustrated, he shut his laptop, which had flooded his feed with yet another algorithm-driven art trend. He longed for something timeless, something that resonated beyond mere aesthetic experimentation. As he drifted into restless sleep that night, he dreamed of a grand, vaulted hall filled with towering paintings, sculptures, and murals that seemed to breathe.
A figure emerged from the shadows, draped in a deep blue cloak, his eyes full of wisdom.
“You seek something greater,” the man said in a thick Italian accent.
“Who are you?” The artist asked, stepping forward.
“Leonardo,” the man replied with a knowing smile.
He caught his breath and before he could react, another voice joined in, rich and commanding.
“Art must serve the soul, not just the eye,” said a tall, bearded man holding a chisel.
“Michelangelo?” The artist whispered, eyes wide.
They walked with him through the dreamlike hall, where Raphael’s frescoes glowed with life, Caravaggio’s figures leapt from the canvas in chiaroscuro brilliance, and Botticelli’s Venus seemed to ripple like a living thing.
“We studied the world, its forms, its light, its divine proportions,” Leonardo said, guiding the artist’s gaze toward a sketch of a human figure, measured with golden ratios.
“We did not merely express, we discovered,” Michelangelo added, his sculptor’s hands gesturing toward David, marble so perfectly chiseled it seemed as if the veins would pulse at any moment.
The artist was overwhelmed, saying, “But the world has changed. Art is different now. We have technology, new ways to create.”
Leonardo nodded, “Yet without knowledge of foundation, invention becomes shallow.”
“Mastery is not a chain, it is a springboard,” Michelangelo said. “Innovation without discipline is fleeting. But when you honor what came before, you create something eternal.”
Waking with a start at dawn’s first light filtering through his window. He turned to his work in progress and saw it with new eyes.
The Renaissance artists had not merely painted, they had understood. They had dissected anatomy, studied
optics, and infused their work with meaning drawn from philosophy, mythology, and faith.
With renewed purpose, he picked up a pencil, not to sketch an abstract shape but to study the structure beneath. He immersed himself in old masters’ techniques, learning not to copy but to absorb. His work transformed not into a mere imitation of the past but something deeper — art that carried the weight of history while speaking in a voice of the present.
For true artistry, he realized, does not discard the past. It listens, learns, and then transcends.
Today’s artists would do well to look to the Renaissance masters for inspiration, not as a means of imitation but as a foundation for deeper artistic understanding. The great artists of the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Caravaggio and others, were not only creators but also scholars of form, light, anatomy, and philosophy. Their work was built on discipline, observation, and an integration of science and art, resulting in creations that have remained timeless.
In contrast, much contemporary art leans heavily on conceptual experimentation, digital tools, and fleeting trends, often at the expense of technical mastery and depth. While innovation is essential, it is most powerful when rooted in knowledge of artistic fundamentals. The Renaissance artists did not simply express themselves; they studied the world to translate it into their work with unparalleled precision and meaning.
To advance meaningfully, modern artists should engage with these principles of rigorous study of composition, anatomy, and perspective in an understanding of how light and color function, and a respect for the balance between intellect and creativity.
By embracing these timeless techniques while applying them to modern contexts, artists can create work that is not only con-
temporary but also enduring work that does not just follow trends but defines them.
In an era when artificial intelligence can generate paintings in seconds, the question of what defines true artistry has never been more pressing. AI-created art, while visually striking, often lacks the depth of human intent, historical context, and technical mastery that define great works. It operates by remixing existing data, producing images that mimic artistic styles without the foundational understanding that guided the original creators.
In contrast, traditional art, particularly that of the Renaissance, was rooted in rigorous study, craftsmanship, and a profound engagement with the world. The Renaissance masters were not just painters, they were anatomists, engineers, and
philosophers who blended technical skill with intellectual depth.
As modern artists navigate this shifting landscape, they would do well to look to these historical figures for inspiration. While technology offers powerful tools for creation, true artistic innovation comes from a mastery of fundamentals.
Just as the Renaissance artists built upon the knowledge of classical antiquity to redefine their era, today’s artists must ground themselves in the principles of the past to create work that is not only contemporary but also enduring.

Fine Points of Law
Marc Jaisli, a councilmember in Buchs, Switzerland, was fined $7,390 after he purchased pink plastic water pistols for his godchildren, the Associated Press reported on March 11.
Doing so violated the country’s weapons law, prosecutors said. They ruled that even though the pistols were imitations, “they could be confused for real firearms due to their appearance.”
Jaisli said he hadn’t been aware of the violation but paid the fine. [AP, 3/11/2025]
Rude
A German soccer match on Feb. 23 was abruptly canceled after an unexpected incident on the field, NationalWorld reported.
As the referee was checking players’ IDs while they warmed up, the child of one player “came closer and closer to me, then suddenly — to my complete surprise — gave me a sharp bite in my left testicle,” said referee Stefan Kahler. “I did not start the game, because of the pain I was in and the situation. It was the child of one of the FC Taxi players who was to blame.”

were legacy projects, projects that were built early on and so were designed and built under a totally different standard of codes than we have today,” said Cleantech San Diego President and CEO Jason Anderson. “You all, and the general public, I think have every right to be concerned, but I also hope we can start to be more properly informed.”
The CEA, which serves the cities of San Marcos, Carlsbad, Del Mar, Escondido, Oceanside, Solana Beach and Vista in a community choice aggregation program, has been discussing safety standards as they approve BESS projects in the county, such as an energy storage agreement for a 6-megawatt BESS project at Camp Pendleton.
San Marcos City Councilmember Maria Nuñez, who also serves on the CEA Board, said she would like to see more education and engagement with the public about battery energy storage projects.
“I share a lot of the concerns that the residents have brought forward today. What I would like to see is a lot more education. I think this is very complicated, but I also think it’s very critical for us to embrace this technology,” Nuñez said at Tuesday’s council meeting.
San Diego County is also updating regulations for BESS projects in unincorporated areas.

Smooth Reactions
The Top Secret Comedy Club in London will no longer admit audience members who have undergone Botox injections, United Press International reported on March 10.
“I’ve had numerous complaints from performers who find it increasingly challenging to gauge audience engagement and bounce off their reactions,” said owner Mark Rothman. “Comedy thrives on connection, and facial expressions play a huge part. ... Frozen faces from Botox impact the entire atmosphere.”
Show attendees will be submitted to an expression check at the door. [UPI, 3/10/2025]
Just Desserts
On March 6, the state of Texas charged Amber Paige Laudermilk, 34, with abuse of a corpse, the Austin American-Statesman reported.
The court filing revealed that Laudermilk, an embalmer at Memorial Mortuary and Crematory in Houston, allegedly used a scalpel to castrate the decedent, Charles Roy Rodriguez, 58, a registered sex offender who lived in Brookside Village, Texas.
She then stuffed his sex organ into his mouth and told an embalming student who witnessed the
mutilation, “You didn’t see anything.”
Laudermilk faces six months to two years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. [Austin American-Statesman, 3/12/2025]
Saw That Coming
An unnamed man in Memphis, Tennessee, learned a pointed lesson on March 10 when his dog, Oreo, jumped into his bed and got his paw stuck in the trigger guard of the man’s loaded gun, FOX13TV reported.
The gun fired a bullet that grazed the man’s left thigh, which was treated at a hospital.
“The dog is a playful dog, and he likes to jump around and stuff like that, and it just went off,” said the man’s girlfriend, who was also in the bed. Police filed an accidental injury report. [FOX13, 3/10/2025]

The COP30 climate summit scheduled for November in the Brazilian city of Belem is expected to bring more than 50,000 people to the area.
So with the goal of easing traffic to the city, the government is building a new four-lane highway through the protected Amazon rainforest, the BBC reported on March 12.

Border Patrol seizes 240 pounds of cocaine
By City News Service
SAN DIEGO — Border Patrol officers intercepted eight different cocaine smuggling attempts at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry this month, preventing more than 240 pounds of the drug from entering the country.
The first three seizures occurred March 4 at around 2 p.m., when an empty commercial tractor-trailer driven by a 31-year-old man was referred to secondary inspection, where a K-9 unit alerted officers to a non-factory compartment in the cabin floor, according to Monday’s statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Officers said they discovered and extracted 18 packages of cocaine weighing almost 47 pounds.
Then at around 3 p.m., a 39-year-old man driving an empty commercial tractor-trailer applied for entry into the country. Officers referred the driver and tractor-trailer for additional inspection, and a K-9 alert allegedly led to the discovery of a non-factory compartment in the cabin floor, where officers extracted 24 packages of cocaine weighing around 61 pounds.
Ten minutes later, a 52-year-old man driving

“Our harvest has already been cut down. We no longer have that income to support our family,” he said. “For those of us who live on the side of the highway, there will be no benefits,” he said, as the highway will not connect to adjacent communities. [BBC, 3/12/2025]
Religious Message
An American Airlines flight from Savannah, Georgia, to Miami was forced to turn back to the airport just after takeoff on March 10, The New York Times reported.
Flight attendants first thought passenger Delange Augustin, 31, was having a seizure as he yelled and shook, but it turned out he believed a satanic spirit had invaded the cabin, and he was swallowing rosary beads to ward off the spirit.
During a struggle, he kicked one attendant so hard they tumbled into the window on the other side of the plane. After landing, Augustin went to the front of the plane and started throwing punches at flight attendants.
Other passengers wrestled him and his sister, who was flying with him, to the floor. The sister told law enforcement that they’d been traveling to Haiti to “flee religious attacks of a spiritual nature.”
Augustin had told her that “Satan’s disciples had followed them onto the plane and the legion did not want the Augustins to

Unclear on Concept
Air India is begging passengers to “use lavatories only for purposes they are meant for,” the New York Post reported, after a flight from Chicago to Delhi on March 5 had to return to O’Hare.
During that journey, passengers flushed plastic bags, rags and clothing down the toilets, putting eight of the 12 lavatories out of order.
The plane was over Greenland when it turned back to Chicago, five hours into the 14-hour flight.
“The decision to divert was taken entirely in the interest of passenger comfort and safety,” Air India reps said. “Our teams have previously also found objects such as blankets, innerwear and diapers,” they said. [New York Post, 3/12/2025]
Americans Abroad
Instagram influencer and “outdoor enthusiast” Sam Jones may lose her visa for Australia after she posted a video of her grabbing a wild baby wombat from its distressed mother, the BBC reported. The post on March 11 has since been deleted from her Instagram account.
Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese suggested she “take a baby crocodile from its mother and see how you go there.”
In the video, Jones carries the hissing and struggling joey to a car, saying, “I caught a baby wombat!” as the mother chases her. She then puts the joey back down beside the road. But wombat experts are unamused. “Snatching a screaming baby wombat from their mother is not just appalling, it’s very possibly illegal under state or national laws,” said Suzanne Milthorpe of World Animal Protection Australia.

The Foreign Press
The South China Morning Post reported on March 7 that online shops are selling “bank soil” — dirt dug up outside major Chinese banks that is said to bring wealth and good fortune to buyers. The price can be as high as $120 per portion.
The soil is harvested from potted plants in bank lobbies or green areas outside the buildings. A sales rep claimed, “This soil ... is believed to enhance wealth and dissolve bad energy, though we cannot scientifically prove this.”
They went on to say the soil is collected at night, while another vendor said their dirt is collected at noon.
One commenter asked, “I live next to a bank, so why has my fortune not improved?” [SCMP, 3/7/2025]
a third empty tractortrailer attempted to cross customs and was directed to secondary inspection, where a K-9 alert prompted a more thorough search. Officers allegedly uncovered a non-factory compartment beneath the cabin floor containing 25 packages of cocaine weighing over 63 pounds.
The next day, officers intercepted five additional cocaine smuggling attempts between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
At around 3 p.m., two separate commercial tractor-trailers were referred for secondary inspection. Through “non-intrusive imaging technology,’’ passenger-side floors of both tractor-trailers revealed suspicious compartments, the agency said. A K-9 inspection allegedly led officers to discover non-factory compartments containing 12 packages of cocaine weighing almost 31 pounds.
At 4:30 p.m., the final seizure occurred when officers stopped a 38- yearold man also operating an empty commercial tractor-trailer. A secondary inspection led to the discovery of six packages of cocaine hidden in a non- factory compartment within the cabin floor weighing over 15 pounds, authorities said.
Planning and administration (capped at 20%): $55,000, which includes Fair Housing Services.
Other uses (no funding cap): $178,000 for the Residential Rehabilitation Program, which assists low- to moderate-income homeowners with property improvements.
From October to December 2024, a public engagement process included surveys and meetings, identifying infrastructure improvements (70%), homeless services (40%), and housing services as the community’s top priorities.
John Van Cleef, CEO of Community Resource Center, said he supported the funding plan and requested an additional $14,040 from the city’s general fund to meet the three organizations’ requests fully.
“I’m here to support (the) staff proposal on the funding for the organizations involved,” Van Cleef said, adding that CRC has seen a 12% increase in food service demand in the past year.
However, some residents voiced concerns about public safety issues near CRC’s Second Street location.
Martin Tracy, who owns property near the CRC, objected to continued funding, stating, “I live with it every single day — urination, people trashing my place. I had
vandalism on my gate last week.”
Council members considered declining federal funding altogether, noting that Encinitas received $356,000 in 2020 compared to the projected $273,000 for 2025. Mayor Bruce Ehlers expressed concerns about future allocations.
“This (funding) is an estimate of what we might get,” Ehlers said. “It could be zero, in which case we need to be careful.”
A key topic was whether to implement performance metrics in funding agreements with grant recipients.
Councilmember Jim O’Hara called for adding memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with clear accountability measures.
“Simply achieving your goals is not enough,” O’Hara said. “If we serve 415 families, that helps. If we impact 415 neighbors in a negative way, it offsets that help.”
Councilmember Marco San Antonio, who owns a business downtown, echoed concerns about homelessness-related activity.
“I have a duty to those people that come to me and ask me about the homeless situation that seems to keep growing,” San Antonio said. However, Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes urged the council to recognize CRC’s role in providing homeless services.
“I caution us not to choose to blame the provider for the problem,” she said. “I think that CRC is part of the solution.”
The council agreed to continue the public hearing to April 16, allowing more time for public input before a final vote. The decision also included completely funding grant recipients with a $14,000 general fund subsidy and directing staff to draft performance-based MOUs to ensure accountability.
The draft Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan will be available for public review through April 12 at City Hall, the Encinitas Community and Senior Center and library.

Say Goodbye to Neuropathy! Join Us
Experience the future of healing
Regenerative medicine is a form of molecular biology that revitalizes the body by regenerating, re-engineering, or replacing human cells, tissues, or organs to establish normal function. At our practice, we utilize cutting-edge human cellular tissue products and protocols tailored to restore your injured or painful area to as close to normal as possible.
Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with a bone, joint, ligament, muscle, or nerve problem? As we age, our ability to heal diminishes, and pain increases due to a decline in stem cell function and quantity. Stem
cells become dormant and nonproductive, leading to a cycle of discomfort and limited mobility. Replenishing this supply presents increased opportunities to reduce or eliminate pain in joints and nerve pain associated with neuropathy. By transplanting the correct tissue, in the correct amount, into the injured or painful part of your body, we can activate dormant cells, regenerate new tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore normal function. Unlike medications that merely mask symptoms, regenerative medicine addresses the root cause of your discomfort, offering
a promising alternative to invasive surgeries like joint replacement. If you’re wondering whether regenerative medicine can work for you, don’t miss our free workshop at noon on March 26 at Beach Plum Kitchen, 6971 El Camino Real #201 in Carlsbad. Join esteemed presenters Dr. Scott SeBastian and Teresa Lambert, NP, as they share insights into the transformative power of regenerative medicine.
Attendance is free, but RSVP is required. Secure your spot by calling 760942-3321 today. Take the first step towards a healthier, pain-free future.

From Trauma to Triumph
Hypnosis can transform your life in just one session
From the moment you walk into Heartwise Hypnotherapy, this soothing sanctuary brewing with beautiful hand-crafted music melts you to the bone. This is where master hypnotist, Brian Festa, has helped hundreds of San Diegans find relief from decades of trauma, often in just one session.
Young professionals, entrepreneurs, and business leaders in San Diego often find themselves weighed down by unresolved trauma despite their outward success. Many carry wounds ranging from severe incidents like sexual assault and devastating accidents to equally destructive but less visible "little-t traumas": childhood bullying, public humiliation, emotionally vacant parents, business pressures, or wearing too many hats for too many years.
"Many people don't realize their self-destructive patterns are desperate attempts to numb their pain," Brian explains. "What looks like stress eating, excessive drinking, pornography addiction, endless scrolling, shopping binges, anger outbursts, or chronic procrastination, are coping mechanisms to fill a void left by wounds of the past, and conditioning that has kept them in victim mentality."
A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH THAT WORKS
What sets Heartwise Hypnotherapy apart is Brian's trauma-informed approach that works directly with both mind and body. With 25 years in the healing arts as a certified hypnosis trainer, holistic consultant, and coach, Brian accesses the subconscious where trauma patterns are deeply ingrained.
"Most therapies keep people talking about their trauma, keeping them in a stress state. My HeartWise Method works differently," Brian explains. "We gently bring memories and feelings to the surface for release, then create a calm or even euphoric state to replace the reactive one. This shifts the body's biochemistry to operate from an entirely new program and build emotional resilience quickly and compassionately.
TRANSFORMING SAN DIEGO LEADERS
This approach has proven particularly valuable for North County's driven professionals who need rapid results without spending years in traditional therapy. Clients report profound shifts after
just one session.
“After years of struggling with focus issues I called ADHD, I knew it stemmed from a trauma response that I've been refusing to overcome. I decided enough was enough. Now I can concentrate without medication," shares Michael, a local tech entrepreneur. Business leaders and professionals county-wide like him report clearer decision-making, and improved relationships both at work and home.
The HeartWise Method quickly installs tools directly into clients' subconscious minds, allowing thoughts and feelings of fear to simply melt away. "Clients often describe feeling as if a weight has been lifted after sessions, as long-held emotions are finally acknowledged and let go."
"My mission is to take 300 trauma “survivors” to “Thrivers” this year," Brian shares.
"Feel free to just call me directly. I'm always happy to be a listening ear. If unresolved trauma is holding you back, together we can metabolize the past so you can move forward lighter and brighter."
Call (858) 330-3500 or visit heartwisehypnotherapy.com to schedule your free consultation.
