SR-78 closures extended

Crews working to repair broken culvert, sinkhole

By Jordan P. Ingram

OCEANSIDE — Full lane closures along westbound state Route 78 were extended Tuesday through the rest of the week as maintenance workers continued emergency repairs to a collapsed metal culvert that led to the formation of a large sinkhole.

All westbound SR-78 lanes from College Boulevard to El Camino Real in Oceanside will remain closed until at least March 27 due to ongoing repairs and continued rain, according to Caltrans.

“We have a culvert that failed, that we have an emergency contract to correct,” Caltrans engineer Shawn Rizzutto told CBS8. “We have about 12 inches of depression that we’re going to need to repave back, and we’re going to go in and replace the culvert.”

Crews located the broken culvert — a pipe that drains water — approximately 30 feet underground. Since emergency repairs began last Wednesday, Caltrans officials have also reported the discovery of three more critically-damaged culverts in the area.

Portable message signs along Interstate 15 and westbound SR-78 were placed to alert motorists of the closure. Drivers may detour to the College Boulevard/Vista Way off-ramp, then west on Vista Way to the westbound SR-78 El Camino Real on-ramp.

After heavy flooding caused the corrugated metal pipes to collapse, displaced water carved new routes underground, creating a giant sinkhole.

“(The water) turned the ground underneath the highway into Swiss cheese,”

Carlsbad explores future of property near Shoppes

By Steve Puterski CARLSBAD — The

city is exploring potential uses for 67 acres on several parking lot properties at The Shoppes at Carlsbad.

The Carlsbad City Council unanimously approved a resolution forming a project team and “future negotiating” agents to work with mall owner Brookfield Properties to research options for the city-owned land during its March 14 meeting.

The decision comes after Brookfield submitted a letter on Jan. 20 requesting to negotiate a lease or sale of the Carlsbad property, according to Curtis Jackson, the city’s real estate manager.

Before a sale can commence, the city must comply with the Surplus Land Act, which promotes affordable housing on unused or underutilized public land. As part of the adopted resolution, city staff will review

compliance with Surplus Land Act (Assembly Bill 1486).

The Shoppes parking lot properties surround the regional shopping center, located south of Highway 78, north of Marron Road, east of Monroe Street, and west of El Camino Real, including the southwest corner of El Camino Real and Marron Road.

The city-owned parking properties total approximately 67 acres — 57 acres in Carlsbad (with deed restrictions) and 10 acres in Oceanside.

The Carlsbad Parking Authority acquired the parcels from developer Plaza Camino Real LP in two phases starting in 1969 when the first portion of the mall

built.

The second acquisition phase was between 1975 and 1981 when The Shoppes was expanded to its

Judge lifts injunction in Del Mar Heights rebuild lawsuit

By Laura Place

DEL MAR

— Crews have resumed construction at the Del Mar Heights school rebuild site after a judge lifted an injunction that had stopped all work on the project for the past 10 months.

After the district demolished the old school building, progress on the long-awaited rebuild was halted in May 2022 due to a lawsuit initiated by local group Save the Field against the City of San Diego regarding the permits issued for the project.

Judge Katherine Bacal ruled on March 6 to lift the injunction, stating that a recent Court of Appeals decision in a separate but related case had “fully and finally” resolved all issues raised by Save the Field.

The judge’s ruling seemingly ends the second lawsuit in the past three

years by Save the Field, whose main argument has been that the Del Mar Union School District failed to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, in the project process.

Chris Delehanty, Del Mar Union’s assistant superintendent of business services, said that Balfour Beatty Construction, the company leading the rebuild, was onsite with a bulldozer the same day the

injunction was lifted.

“We are excited to move forward, and we are looking forward to the challenge of getting it built as quickly as possible,” Delehanty told the district board of trustees on March 15. “There is some

work to do in really getting us back to where we were 10 months ago because 10 months of rain and weather and sun has taken an impact on the site, but we are moving forward.”

Save the Field first sued the district regarding its CEQA process for the project back in 2020, which resulted in Judge Joel Wohlfiel ordering an injunction requiring the district to re-evaluate project elements. The injunction was later lifted, and Wohlfiel ruled that the project did comply with CEQA, a decision that Save the Field appealed to the California Supreme Court.

When the Supreme Court in January refused to hear the appeal, Del Mar Union representatives argued the decision also resolved the 2022 lawsuit against the city of San Diego. Bacal agreed.

“We have finally come to an end of our litigation, and I’m very happy to share that the district has finally prevailed on the second lawsuit brought against it,” Delehanty said.

Save the Field representatives have yet to respond to a request for comment.

The district anticipated the rebuild would be complete in May 2023 when crews broke ground on the project early last year. Officials said they would share a new timeline for the project at a future date.

Delays caused by litigation have frustrated many Del Mar Heights families, whose students are currently split between Del Mar Hills Academy and Ocean Air School until the rebuild is complete.

Costs for the project, funded by Measure MM, have also increased by over $6 million since 2020.

said Vista Mayor John Franklin. “The ground underneath the highway is no longer reliable. So there is a potential for collapse anytime. And the rain is making things worse."

Once work is completed and the soil is compacted on the west side of the highway, Caltrans officials said motorists could expect eastbound SR-78 lanes to close for approximately two weeks.

Caltrans will update the construction schedule as new information becomes available, the agency wrote in a release.

Supervisor Jim Desmond criticized SANDAG for not making upgrades to SR-78 after voters approved a half-cent tax measure for repairs in 2004.

Desmond urged the regional planning agency to renew its commitment to prioritize the North County highway.

“Despite paying this tax until 2048, SANDAG has not made the upgrades and has instead opted for less used public transportation and mass transit projects,” Desmond said in a statement. “SANDAG must maintain its promise to San Diegans and make SR-78 a priority, as it is vital to the safety of North County. It is time for SANDAG to come back to the table with a regional transportation plan that benefits everyone in San Diego County.”

Franklin said the corrugated metal pipes should have been updated to concrete long ago with resources allocated from Sacramento.

“Unfortunately, this

product was allowed for use,” Franklin said. “Now, everything is concrete and lasts 100 years. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Caltrans estimated repairs to cost at least $20 million.

On Tuesday morning, Caltrans announced the eastbound SR-78 onramp at El Camino Real was closed due to flooding. Serveral hours later, the transportation agency advised the on-ramp and right lane had reopened.

Commuters are urged to drive carefully as another winter storm is expected to hit the area. For real-time traffic information, including road closures and maintenance work, visit quickmap.dot.ca.gov.

Women’s History Month

Carson’s pesticide warning

By Sheila S. Cameron

Marine biologist, scientist, researcher, naturalist scholar and gifted writer...meet Rachel Carson.

Carson wrote about the oceans in a three-book series in the 1940s and ’50s while working for the Fish and Wildlife Service. The trilogy explores the whole of ocean life spanning from the shores to the depths of the sea floor.

In 1962, Carson turned to conservation and published her seminal work, “Silent Spring,” bringing the nation’s attention to the problems caused by synthetic pesticides, particularly the harm being done by the liberal use of a poisonous spray called DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane).

This was a wake-up call for people to become consciously aware of our impact on the natural world. Carson spent four years researching and gathering examples of environmental damage attributed to DDT. (The U.S. government banned the substance in 1972.)

The Audubon Naturalist Society was also opposed to such spraying programs and hired Carson to help make public the spraying practices of the government and chemical companies. While doing this research, Carson decided to write her next book on pesticides and environmental poisons.

Many in the scientific community were documenting pesticides’ physiological

and environmental effects and shared their research and evidence they had compiled with Carson. She found that these pesticides posed significant dangers to humans and wildlife.

In 1959, Carson wrote a letter to the Washington Post that attributed the decline in bird populations — “the silencing of birds” — to pesticide overuse. She devotes a chapter to what she found in the bird population — the eggshells of their hatchlings were too thin to support them, and baby birds were dying before they could hatch.

In “Silent Spring,” Carson carefully documents pesticide effects on the connected natural ecosystem, devoting four chapters to cases of human pesticide poisoning, cancer and other diseases. Carson founded the environmental movement with this publication.

So with the legacy of knowledge Carson gave us, why are we still using poisons and lethal pesticides? Everyday wildlife and household pets are in danger of being poisoned when homeowners, businesses or exterminators use anticoagulant rodenticides (i.e., rat poisons) to control rodents.

Dozens of scientific studies have found rat poisons in a wide variety of wildlife, including foxes, bobcats, coyotes, mountain lions and every species of hawk and owl.

It’s peculiar how the ecosystem works — rats, mice, and gophers play a crit-

ical role as food for predators and seed dispensers for trees and plants. So using poison has the long-term effect of increasing rodent populations since the poison kills off the rodents’ natural predators, allowing the rodents to breed unchecked.

Solutions and non-toxic pest control that work:

• Seal cracks and crevices leading into your home with 1/4-inch metal mesh to block entry points.

• Trim foliage and tree limbs at least 2 feet away from the sides and roof of the house.

• Use snap traps or electronic zappers to catch any rodents remaining indoors. Never use glue or sticky traps; they kill songbirds and other wildlife.

• Attract barn owls with a nest box. A single barn owl can catch 1,400+ rodents a year!

• If you need a professional, only hire exterminators trained in IPM (integrated pest management).

In our own small way, we can create a safer, healthier environment for ourselves, our children, and the ecosystem we are all a part of. For example, just stopping the use of rat poisons will save hundreds of lives. We may not be Rachel Carson, but we can learn from what she taught us!

“In nature, nothing exists alone.” — Rachel Carson, “Silent Spring.”

Will ‘Greater Idaho’ inspire new State of Jefferson push? california focus tom elias

The myriad activists for a putative State of Jefferson in the mostly rural counties of Northern California don’t need much prodding to spring into action.

But they may soon be getting a push anyway, this time from similar-minded eastern Oregonians eager to split off from their current state and join up with neighboring Idaho.

That movement, called “Greater Idaho” because it would shift 15 rural eastern Oregon counties into Idaho, has so far won voter approval in 11 of those counties and will get a vote in May in northeast Oregon’s Wallowa County (population 7,391). The Idaho Legislature’s lower house has already approved the concept.

While the Greater Idaho movement is far younger than the notion of a State of Jefferson, which originated in the 1940s, it has moved closer to its goal. It is even due for discussion in the Oregon Legislature this year, with at least one state senator and one member of the lower house as sponsors.

The State of Jefferson, by contrast, has never gotten formal consideration in Sacramento. Its aim is not to join another state, but to rip away from Oregon some of the same counties now amenable to joining Idaho and link them to Northern California in a new 51st state, its putative capital Redding, in California’s Shasta County.

The State of Jefferson gets some support not only in Northern California, but also in southern Oregon, where roadside signs in cities like Grants Pass, Reedsport and Medford are readily visible.

It would be no surprise if California counties sympathetic to Jefferson joined Oregon areas pushing to join Idaho. Their complaints are the same: Most are politically more conservative than the dominant coastal, urban areas of their states. Many counties are wrapped into each legislative district in those regions, while some urban counties get dozens.

That last has been true since California in the 1960s bent to the U.S. Supreme Court’s One Per-

son, One Vote decision. Before then, state Senate seats were allocated by geography, so the northern counties often wielded significant power.

Now their mostly Republican representatives are part of small GOP minorities in both houses of the Legislature. It’s little different in Oregon, where tiny Wallowa’s populace would fit into a few Portland or Eugene city blocks.

The rural counties feel they suffer the same kind of taxation without representation that helped fuel the American Revolution and many folks there want out. They also despise gun control laws passed over the last few years in both Oregon and California.

In Oregon, they get some statewide sympathy. One poll often cited by Greater Idaho organizers found 68% of Portland area voters favor their Legislature at least discussing the idea of separation. They note that losing many eastern areas would let that Oregon become even more solidly Democratic than now.

But Greater Idaho and the State of Jefferson both face major roadblocks: Each would require a statewide vote okaying both letting significant areas pull out, along with congressional support and statewide voter support for whatever property split was worked out between existing state governments and new or revised ones.

Not to mention similar votes in Idaho, where voters would have to approve adding the rural Oregon counties which now get far more financial support from their state than they contribute via taxes.

All of which means none of the current state splitting or state altering ideas has yet become serious business, just like all the other 42 ideas for new state lines proposed formally and informally since California entered the Union in 1850.

The pandemic is over, return parking to downtown Encinitas

Dear Ms. Kellie Hinze, Mayor Tony Kranz and Mr. Bruce Ehlers, I am writing as a concerned citizen living on Third Street between D and E streets in the heart of downtown.

I have been approached by several non-restaurant business owners — some of whom are the backbone of Old Encinitas, supporting the community for more than 30 years — imploring

the city to treat them fairly so they may remain in business.

This means providing parking for their longtime customers, many of whom have grown frustrated attempting to visit their stores or utilize their services.

When the pandemic hit, we realized as a community that short-term solutions needed municipal approval to comply with state and federal safety guidelines.

Local business owners supported fellow business owners, especially food-and-alcohol serving establishments, by giving up parking spaces and reducing the roadway to create more opportunities for the food service industry.

Sidewalks became overcrowded with dining spaces, eliminating safe passage along sidewalks crowded with people, tables and waitstaff crossing to de-

liver food.

We as a community supported these measures. But clearly, the COVID-19 crisis is over in California, as stated by our state and federal officials.

That said, Encinitas continues to perpetuate unfair disadvantages to non-restaurants by not removing “gutter dining areas.”

These owners estimated that between D and E

streets, half the parking spaces are gone!

It’s time to return to treating all Encinitas businesses fairly, level the playing field back to preCOVID-19 guidelines by not allowing these businesses to use city property to double their restaurant footprint. Ms. Hinze, please help your voters.

Homeless services on the ballot

By City News Service REGION

— Gov. Gavin Newsom visited San Diego on Sunday to announce a “big idea, a big deal” ballot measure to address homelessness, mental health and substance addiction in California.

Newsom made the proposal during one of his final “state of the state” tour of cities across California at Alvarado Hospital, adjacent to San Diego State University, with several state and local officials.

The governor said “we have to address and come to grips” with providing permanent housing for the homeless, mental health treatment and drug addiction.

Newsom proposed a statewide measure that would go before voters in November 2024 to “modernize how California treats mental illness, substance use disorder and homelessness.''

Part of the measure would be paid for with general obligation bonds for building new community mental health facilities in California. More than 10,000 Californians with mental illness and substance abuse disorders would be served, Newsom said.

The ballot measure would also amend the state’s Mental Health Act, passed by voters about 20 years ago to fund programs for residents with serious mental health issues.

That act levies a 1% tax on incomes more than $1 million each year to help pay for California's mental health system. Newsom said he wants to add $1 billion a year for housing those with mental illness and substance abuse disorders.

The ballot measure would also assist veterans.

“Nobody does it better than San Diego,” the governor added. “We own this moment,” he added. “We’re going to win this thing in November 2024.”

Dr. Mark Ghaly, the state's Health and Human Services secretary, called Newsom’s proposal “a bold idea. We’re at the beginning of the next stage of behavioral health reform.”

Also on hand to endorse the governor's plan were state Sen. Susan Eggman, San Diego County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, Assemblyman Christopher Ward, state Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins and Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, who co-authored the Mental Health Services Act in 2004.

The measure would need to be approved by the Legislature and California voters.

Inland business owner named to Palomar board

By Laura Place SAN MARCOS —

The Palomar College Governing Board appointed Escondido business owner Cassandra Schaeg to serve as the new Area 2 trustee on Tuesday, filling a seat left vacant last month by former board president Christian Garcia.

The board selected Schaeg from a pool of six candidates after around two hours of interviews conducted in open session during the board’s March 21 meeting. She is the owner of tasting room and event space

Lola’s celebrates 80 years

Family-owned Carlsbad market a local treasure

By Steve Puterski CARLSBAD —

Eighty years ago, the city’s most iconic business (and perhaps longest-running) opened its doors in Carlsbad.

The first iteration of Lola’s 7Up Market & Deli opened on March 17, 1943, on the corner of Roosevelt Street and Walnut Avenue (the original store was located on the southeast corner).

The shop became a staple for locals and visitors seeking breakfast, lunch or an early dinner.

Today, the market is a third-generation business with the baton passing from Connie Trejo, 89, to her daughter, DeeDee Trejo-Rowlett, son, Henry Jr. Trejo, and niece, Socorro Jauregui.

During the weekend, Connie was the guest of honor to celebrate the store’s 80th anniversary.

“It doesn’t seem like 80 years,” Connie told The Coast News. “I had a really nice time and got to see a lot of people I haven’t seen in a long time. I’m glad my kids are still working here and taking over.”

The business was started in 1943 by Connie’s parents, Reyes Jauregui and his wife, Dolores “Lola” Jauregui. The couple bought the store from another couple who moved to Arizona for health reasons.

Back then, the city’s landscape was dotted with farms and a substantial Latino population. The store was first known as Jaure’s 7Up Market, and the Jaureguis lived next door.

The couple kept the location until 1986 before moving to its current spot across the street.

Over the years, Jaure’s was also referred

to as Lola’s due to the matriarch’s longevity and popularity in the Barrio neighborhood, the city’s first quarter. The mostly Latino population did not like the term “barrio” due to word’s negative connotations, according to Connie.

Regardless, Lola’s has stood tall over the past eight decades. After the Jaureguis decided to step aside, Connie and her sisters, including the late Ofie Escobedo, ran the market. Ofie Escobedo passed away in November at the age of 94.

Connie and DeeDee said their loyal customers had kept the business afloat for the past 80 years. And now, patronizing Lola’s has become a generational tradition passed down to their customers’ children.

“You see them as kids, and now they’re bringing their kids,” DeeDee said. “We are starting to see that second, third generation of customers, which is really cool.”

According to the family, the market’s popularity has gone national. Henry Trejo Jr, DeeDee’s brother, recounted how the family has run into people from Seattle to Las Vegas who remembered eating at Lola’s, including a runin atop the Space Needle in Seattle.

As for the old location,

SIP Wine and Beer and founder of the KPBS program Fresh Glass, both platforms she said she uses to elevate the work and stories of women and people of color in the food and wine industries.

Schaeg attended community college herself and has a master’s degree in public administration. She served on the County of San Diego Community Action Partnership Administering Board from 2018-2022 and works with educational programs including the California State University San Marcos College of Business Administration, California Center for the Arts Escondido.

She was also recognized earlier this year as one of the Top 50 Black Leaders of Influence by the San Diego Business Journal and County of San Diego Black Chamber of Commerce.

“I believe that community college is supposed to be a place to access resources. There is no one size fits all,” Schaeg told the board in her interview. “As I stand here in front of you, I recognize that I am the first to do a lot of things … When I look at DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] and diversity of worldviews, thought and equity, to how does someone have access and resources, I’m a prime example of that. What that looks like in the future is that more people who look like me should be standing up here.”

The four-person board initially struggled to reach consensus, with individual votes on whether to appoint each of the six candidates, including Schaeg, all failing 2-2.

On the first vote to appoint Schaeg, trustees Judy Patacsil and Roberto Rodriguez voted in favor while Jacqueline Kaiser and Michelle Rains voted against, with votes for all five other candidates also resulting in a split 2-2 failed vote.

At the end of the meeting, Rains changed her tune and called another vote in favor of Schaeg, with the motion passing this time 3-1. Schaeg was sworn in directly afterwards to applause.

Schaeg will serve as the Area 2 trustee, covering Escondido and the eastern third of the state Route 78 corridor, for the remaining two years of Garcia’s term.

Garcia’s departure marked the second time in three years that Palomar’s board president has resigned.

DeeDee said it’d been turned into an unofficial family and market museum. The walls are covered with photos of friends and family, wartime letters from the U.S. government and more. The family even opens the “museum” to allow quick tours for third and fourth graders to learn about Carlsbad’s history.

Perhaps 80 years from now, another three generations of the family will have taken over stewardship, keeping the iconic business thriving.

Crews stabilize Cardiff sinkhole as rain persists

By Samantha Nelson ENCINITAS

— Crews continue work to stabilize a sinkhole along Lake Drive in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, racing to make repairs as winter storms continue to bring significant precipitation to coastal North County.

The sinkhole first appeared in late February after heavy rainfall, forcing the city to close Lake Drive to allow crews to start repairing the hole.

On March 10, the sinkhole grew even more after more than an inch of overnight rain worsened its conditions.

Construction crews had to relocate all utilities such as gas, cable, electric and water before installing shoring to stabilize the sinkhole.

Following even more rain this week, the large sinkhole has become an ongoing headache for the city.

“Unfortunately, we ar-

current form.

“The land that was dedicated perpetually to public use as a municipal parking lot contains a reversionary clause that could revert the properties back to Brookfield or its successor if the city does not maintain it as a municipal parking lot,” Jackson said.

Before a sale, the city must declare the land as either surplus or exempt surplus land.

If the land is not declared as exempt surplus land, the city must send a written notice of the availability of surplus land to develop as low- and moderate-income housing to the California Department of Housing and Community Development, local public entities and other interested parties.

After the declaration, the land must be available for 60 days. Then, if an offer is made, the city must enter a 90-day good faith period of negotiations, Jackson said.

The council has previously discussed mixed-use and residential developments at properties adja-

en’t able to determine the exact size of the sinkhole,” said Portland Bates, the city’s economic development manager.

According to construction crew members on site, the sinkhole was created by a busted storm drain following large amounts of rainfall over the last few months.

Water also tore up a section of the bluff running for several hundred feet outside

of the hole adjacent to Lake Drive.

Bates said crews are now stabilizing the bottom of the sinkhole with rock and grout in anticipation of additional rain. Additionally, workers installed concrete and cross beams that held through the storm on March 15.

“The repair work on the sinkhole is still projected through April with updates

indicating the sinkhole is doing fine during our current rain storm,” Bates said.

Crews must complete the shoring work, reconstruct the embankment, rebuild the drainage inlet and reconstruct the drainage pipe, stormwater detention basin, roadway and sidewalk before repairs are done.

Recently, a section of San Elijo State Beach in Encinitas was also shut down on March 16 after a bluff collapsed beneath a campground. No injuries were reported in the incident.

Encinitas isn’t the only North County city currently dealing with sinkholes. State Route 78 westbound at College Boulevard was closed due to a sinkhole, created by a failed 50-year-old culvert.

A longtime trustee on the board since 2010, Wooden announced his resignation in mid-February after news surfaced that he was suspected of soliciting a sex worker in Florida, one of over 200 people arrested as part of a sting operation.

Wooden was most recently re-elected to the board in November, leaving nearly four years remaining in his term.

The district had 60 days to call a special election or commence a community appointment process.

The now four-person board discussed both options at their March 15 meeting and unanimously opted for the latter, noting that a special election would cost the district hundreds of thousands of dollars and be delayed until at least November.

“In my opinion, the most democratic thing to do is to let the voters decide and hear their opinion on that. However, I think that given the cost amounts … it doesn’t make sense to me to have a special election,” said Board President Gee Wah Mok. “This board has been elected and re-elected multiple times, so I think we are capable of making good decisions and making decisions on behalf of the community.”

Applications are due by 4 p.m. on April 6, and the board plans to interview applicants and vote on an appointment at a special board meeting on April 11.

While the term of Wooden’s former seat technically runs through 2026, the California election code states that the appointee would only serve until the next regularly scheduled election in 2024, at which time an election would be held to fill the remaining two years of the term.

pointment two times before, and I’m looking at people sitting next to me, and I think that process has worked well in the past,” said trustee Doug Rafner.

Dozens of community members have shared their preference for one appointee in particular — district parent Danielle Roybal, who has been outspoken about alleged shortcomings in Del Mar Union’s special education program, among other issues, and the top vote-getting challenger in the 2022 school board race.

“Now that Scott Wooden has resigned, I ask that you honor the community’s vote and assign me,” she told trustees, bringing along 80 letters of support from the community. “I represent the community that wants the board to work with them. Please allow me to be the bridge and show goodwill toward our voters.”

Roybal warned that if she was not appointed, she would begin the process of forcing a “recall,” more technically called a special election.

California election code states that community members have the right to petition for such an election within 30 days of the district appointing someone to the vacant seat.

According to the San Diego County Registrar of Voters, the number of signatures needed to force a special election equals 1.5% of the total registered voters as of the last regular election. With just over 31,000 registered voters, that equals around 465 signatures.

“If a trustee is assigned that is not of the community’s choice, they would hate to start a recall. But with only approximately 500 signatures necessary for a recall of an appointed trustee, they would do so in order to honor the community's choice,” Roybal said.

This process played out in the neighboring San Dieguito Union School District in 2021 when the faculty association forced a special election after Ty Humes was appointed to the then-vacant Area 5 seat.

Julie Bronstein ended up being elected and serving as trustee until 2022.

Vista hikes fines for selling tobacco products to minors

New rules shift penalties from clerk to retailer

By Laura Place

VISTA — New regulations adopted by the Vista City Council have quintupled the fines for retailers selling tobacco products to minors and implemented more serious licensing penalties if offenses continue.

Previously, selling tobacco products to a minor would result in a $200 fine for the clerk making the sale and a warning to the retailer, followed by license suspension for 30, 60 and then 90 days for each subsequent offense in three years and license revocation on the fifth offense.

Under new rules unanimously approved by the Vista City Council on March 14, retailers themselves will face a $1,000 penalty for a first offense rather than the clerk.

Second and third offenses in three years will result in 90-day and one-year license suspensions, respectively, with license revocation after a fourth offense.

The tighter regulations go into effect in mid-April and came about after public outcry about rising youth tobacco access at a meeting in late February.

Community members said increased penalties are long overdue and praised the city for cracking down.

“I want to thank you all for acknowledging the problem with tobacco in our community. I’m really against tobacco because I see it every day at my school,” said Miguel Castillo, a Vista High School STAY Club member. “I want this problem to be fixed in order for our future generations not to be exposed to these substances.”

City Attorney Walter Chung said the city opted not to have additional fines, license suspension, and revocation penalties since

$1,000 is the state’s maximum penalty for tobacco retailers.

“We want to make sure this is bulletproof so they won’t have any ability to appeal it,” Chung said.

The council also approved regulations prohibiting licensed tobacco retailers within 1,000 feet of other tobacco or canna-

City Clerk Kathy Valdez said this applies to tobacco-specific retailers and not convenience stores or gas stations that sell tobacco in addition to other products.

However, Councilmember Corinna Contreras said she would like to see this 1,000-foot limit apply to those locations as well.

Councilmember Katie Melendez, city officials agreed that all retailers’ fines should go toward youth tobacco prevention programming or scholarships.

However, they said they would prefer to see all tobacco retailers comply with the law.

“The amendments that are coming before us are very oriented toward preventing tobacco use for youth, so even if we continue to improve our funding accessibility for our youth scholarships, I think that would be a worthwhile use of these funds,” Melendez said.

Swiss chocolate vs. cokoladova

Cokoladova tycinka is Slovakian for chocolate bar, honoring the news that Toblerone is moving production from Switzerland to Slovakia.

Manufactured by Oreos owner Mondelez International, Toblerone is known for a unique recipe, triangular packaging, a Matterhorn logo and prisms of Swiss chocolate resembling the Alps.

Bring in Switzerland’s 2017 Swissness Act restricting use of national symbols on products that don’t meet certain criteria.

Meaning from now on Toblerone won’t be able to use the Matterhorn (with the hidden bear) logo, nor claim to be Swiss made.

Given that the 155-yearold company has decades of equity built up from using this logo, I must conclude there’s huge savings by this move. Yet the bean counters may not have factored in the costs of rebranding and lost sales.

Because one important factor of branding is the

ability of customers to spot you among the competition. For years, Toblerone’s logo and claim to Swissness have helped them stand out against everyday brands like Hershey and Mars.

Were I Toblerone’s competition, I’d be seeing this as a huge opportunity to steal their market share. Moving forward, Lindt or other Swiss chocolatiers will undoubtedly trumpet their Swiss roots, commitment and long affiliation with only the finest quality chocolate.

The economy’s in a funky place right now, and lower production costs should pay off over time. But it’s important to remember that many people consider chocolate to be a luxury that can be cut from

tycinka

the budget when times get tight.

And if the world’s economies crater anytime soon, it’ll be easier to not buy a consumer product that’s voluntarily saddled itself with such a significant rebrand.

My prediction: Mondelez needs 2-3 years to make up for the anticipated hit to its sales.

True, every business must make the stakeholders happy. And you pay attorneys and accountants for their advice.

However, marketing and sales professionals are charged with growing the business, and this challenge will certainly make their

lives more difficult. Well-run businesses let lawyers and accountants guide them while focusing on marketing and sales. That’s how you keep shareholders happiest in the long run.

Mondelez has obviously committed to this course of action, and I wish them well. But from a strictly marketing perspective, I’m kinda rooting for the competition.

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

Encinitas allocates federal grant money to nonprofits

By Samantha Nelson ENCINITAS

The city has allocated federal grant funds to several local nonprofits to help address community development and housing needs for low-income and homeless residents.

—

Each year, the city receives money through Community Development Block Grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The program aims to benefit low and moderate-income households, prevent neighborhood blight and slums, and occasionally provide aid for emergency needs like natural disaster response.

This year the city received $313,360 in grants. Four nonprofit public service providers applied to receive funding: Community Resource Center, Meals-onWheels, Interfaith Community Services and Legal Aid Society of San Diego.

The Community Resource Center requested $30,000 for its Homeless Prevention and Intervention Services program, which offers services in financial literacy, employment preparation, food assistance, supportive shelter and case management for low-income and homeless Encinitas families. The program also provides motel vouchers and case management to homeless residents to help them transition to permanent housing.

“I think we’re using it the correct way,” said Councilmember Bruce Ehlers.

While the city could only designate a little over $22,000 in block grant funds to CRC, the City Council agreed to fill that nearly $8,000 gap from the city’s general fund.

According to CEO John Van Cleef, in the last year, CRC experienced more visits for its services than before the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the past, CRC has either met or exceeded its goals using CDBG funding. For example, last year, the center reached its goal of serving 4,000 visits, while this year, the goal is at least 5,500 visits, or 515 Encinitas households.

Van Cleef said the request for $30,000 directly relates to its uptick in visits.

“All of our trends point

VOLUNTEER

toward an increase in demand in 2023,” Van Cleef said.

The Encinitas City Council also approved just over $17,000 of its CDBG program funds to Interfaith Community Services for its Bridge to Housing Network, which operates three permanent shelters, including La Posada in Carlsbad, Haven House in Escondido and Operation HOPE in Vista, and two rotational shelters in local faith-based centers like churches.

CRC also works with Interfaith Community Services through its shelter network and case management services.

Meals-on-Wheels of Greater San Diego, a nonprofit that delivers food and provides safety and welfare checks to approximately 75 low-income, homebound seniors in Encinitas, received $7,588 from the CDBG program for its meal delivery services.

The Legal Aid Society of San Diego also received $20,000 for fair housing services.

Additionally, the city allotted $42,668 for administrative services, $104,000 to the engineering department for public infrastructure and $100,000 to development services for residential rehabilitation.

While most supported the financial allocations, resident Elena Thompson questioned the city’s need for block grant funding.

“This money is from the federal government, and it’s for communities with slums or to prevent slums, and I feel like Encinitas might be stealing this money from more deserving communities,” Thompson said.

Thompson is also concerned that the city will seek a homeless shelter in Encinitas.

“The city, for all the wrong reasons, is embarking on having a homeless shelter in Encinitas… inch by inch, little by little,” Thompson said via email. “If people don’t activate and join the conversation, we may get what we don’t need when there are plenty of shelters and beds, services already in neighboring Carlsbad, Oceanside and Escondido.”

The city, with a population of 62,000, has been part of HUD’s program since 1990.

LOCALS ATTEMPT WHALE RESCUE

An approximately 800-pound adult pygmy sperm whale was found washed ashore on March 16 at South Carlsbad State Beach. Despite efforts from the SeaWorld rescue team and beachgoers to save the marine mammal, the whale was pronounced dead less than 24 hours later. The beached whale was spotted struggling in the surfline around 5 p.m. last Thursday at Lifeguard Tower 28 near Carlsbad Village Drive. SeaWorld rescue officials said the whale appeared emaciated and could have been dealing with infection. A necropsy will be performed to determine the rare whale’s cause of death. Photo by Patrick

VISTA

—

A motorcyclist who crashed into and killed a bicyclist in Carlsbad while fleeing from a California State Parks officer was sentenced last week to four years in state prison.

Eric Monte Burns, 29, pleaded guilty to causing the Aug. 15, 2022, crash that killed Brad Allen Catcott, 68, of Solana Beach.

Burns and his passenger, a 22-year-old woman, were hospitalized with serious injuries stemming from the wreck.

Carlsbad police said the afternoon chase began when a state parks officer tried to stop a motorcyclist for speeding and reckless driving.

The motorcyclist sped north on Carlsbad Boulevard and crashed into the cyclist, killing the victim at the scene.

Burns was initially charged with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and DUI counts, but those counts were dismissed as part of his plea.

He pleaded guilty last month to a felony count of evading an officer causing death, along with an allegation of causing great bodily injury to his passenger.

Vista Unified

District considers options to address falling enrollment

By Laura Place VISTA

— Over 100 parents, students and teachers gathered last week at Rancho Minerva Middle School for an informational forum regarding the possibility of the school being closed or combined with another site due to declining enrollment.

The emotional meeting was one of a series of community forums held over the past week at schools identified for possible consolidation in the Vista Unified School District. Officials announced this month that they would be forming a committee to evaluate the future of various properties, citing an enrollment drop of over 6,700 students in the past decade.

Rancho Minerva was one of four identified schools, along with Monte Vista Elementary, Beaumont Elementary, and Vista Innovation and Design Academy, or VIDA. Additional forums for community members to ask questions about the committee and consolidation process will take place in the coming months.

At Rancho Minerva’s March 16 forum, Superintendent Matthew Doyle assured the community that no decisions had been made regarding closures and that no schools would be closing within the next year.

“The board has made no decisions to close any schools at this point in time. They decided to engage in a process to consider whether or not we should close a school,” Doyle said.

District officials and leaders of Foresight Planning and Development, the district’s asset management consultant handling this process, provided background on how the district got to this point and

well each site is supporting educational programming, said Kristen Rose, CEO of Foresight Planning and Development.

Some potential recommendations could be to consolidate programming to specific schools, create magnet schools with smaller enrollment, remove excess portables, consider joint-use occupancy at certain sites or convert an existing site into a community space.

“What we’ve found is, within the context of declining enrollment and the district’s existing space, if we start to right-size campuses … we probably don't need as many total school sites as we have. There are 15 elementary school sites, and we could probably do with 13,” Rose said.

Carlsbad drops order for police hybrid vehicles

shared timelines for forming a committee and their decision-making process.

Public schools already receive little to no state funding for facilities maintenance, leaving districts to rely on bond measures like Vista Unified’s $247 million Measure LL passed by voters in 2018.

District COO Shawn Loescher said that while VIDA was identified due to the poor condition of its facilities, Rancho Minerva was identified because of its severely low student population, which ideally would be between 800 to 1,000 students.

“Declining enrollment has nothing to do with the quality of our teachers or the principal. It has to do with how many people live within a boundary,” said Loescher. “When we look at how many students of middle school age live in the area of Rancho Minerva, the number for next year is 417 … way below the critical threshold.”

Districtwide, Loescher said the student population has dropped from around 25,000 to 19,000 students

and is expected to drop to approximately 16,000 in a few years. However, leaders emphasized that this enrollment decline is not unique to Vista and is happening in districts throughout California.

The state mandates all districts going through a consolidation process to form an asset management committee of between seven and 11 community members.

This committee is tasked with analyzing the condition of the district’s properties and ultimately making recommendations to the school board.

After the board selects members from a pool of applicants at their April 6 meeting, the committee will meet four to six times between April and June and hold various community forums to gather community feedback.

The committee will make its final recommendations in June or July, and the board of trustees can accept or reject them.

Important things to analyze are the capacity of each school site and how

Forum attendees understandably had many questions about what might happen to their schools, most of which officials said they could only answer once the committee returned with recommendations.

One concern parents shared was about what would happen to the teachers at Rancho Minerva if the school were to close. Loescher said those teachers would follow the students since there would still be the need for the same number of instructors.

Other parents said if the school were to be converted to a magnet, they would like families to have the choice to stay or go to another school site — the same option given to families at Washington Middle School when it was converted to VIDA in 2014.

“We have not engaged in that dialogue because no committee recommendation has been made,” Loescher said.

More information about the asset management process is available at vistausd.org under the District Asset Management Committee tab.

The City Council approved the purchase of 40 new police vehicles — none of which are hybrid models due to manufacturing constraints.

The council adopted the resolution 4-1 during its March 14 meeting, with Councilwoman Teresa Acosta voting against the proposal due to the purchase of combustion engine vehicles not aligning with the city’s Climate Action Plan and sustainability goals.

Bradley Northup, the city’s superintendent of public works, said the city modified its order based on a recommendation from the Ford Motor Company, which informed the city on Feb. 22 its order of the 40 hybrids would likely not be fulfilled.

Northrup said the company did not specifically say it couldn’t manufacture the hybrid vehicles, or the nature of the manufacturer’s challenges in producing the order, adding it was unlikely the entire order would be met and could even be canceled.

“We placed the order with Ford Motor Company, but the company is recommending its customers modify orders,” Northup said. “There are delays from all manufacturers who take factory orders for police vehicles.”

In addition, the cost of the hybrids spiked by 22% due to an unexpected cost increase.

The contract for police vehicles is run through the state, preventing purchases with a cost increase of 3% per year. In addition, production delays will likely increase costs for Ford’s 2024 hybrid models.

Carlsbad police requested an additional $313,675 in December to cover cost increases and approved $2.4 million to the department’s 2022-23 operating budget to purchase 34 vehicles.

Conventional vehicles with internal combustion engines cost about $2,500 less than the contracted price, totaling $100,000 in upfront savings for the 40 patrol cars. But the caveat is the city won’t realize the fuel savings over time.

Asst. Police Chief Christie Calderwood said the department must secure new vehicles, even if they use a combustible engine, to replace aging and damaged cars and meet operational readiness requirements and employee retention goals.

The hybrid police vehicles have been in service in Carlsbad since 2020, saving the city 65,000 gallons of fuel or roughly $77,000 per year, Northup said.

“One of my priorities and roles is to ensure that all of our employees have the resources and equipment to maintain operational readiness,” Calderwood said, noting the department wants to meet the city’s climate goals, but outside forces have pushed them in a different direction. “In this case, it’s our patrol vehicles.”

Only a few manufacturers produce police vehicles, and Ford is the only one with a hybrid option.

Regardless, Acosta stressed her concern about the city falling behind on its climate and sustainability goals.

“I’m the only one who is that committed to making sure that we have this

Former delivery driver gets probation for stealing dog

By City News Service

ENCINITAS — A former Amazon delivery driver who stole an Encinitas woman’s dog while delivering packages was sentenced March 16 to a oneyear probation term.

Dena Vindiola, 37, was arrested in October, about three weeks after golden retriever Finn went missing from his owner’s Hollyridge Drive home. As part of her probation, Vindiola must abide by a number of conditions, including performing 10 days of community service involving animal care, staying away from any county dog parks and prohibitions against owning dogs.

According to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, Denise Reppenhagen’s dog went missing on Oct. 9, 2022, after her garage door was left open by a family member.

On Oct. 26, a neighbor discovered on home camera surveillance footage that a

woman who appeared to be an Amazon driver delivering packages, including at Rappenhagen’s home, loaded Finn into her car and drove off, the sheriff’s department said.

After the footage was aired on local news, the sheriff’s department received a tip from someone who recognized Vindiola, who was arrested Oct. 29 at a home in San Diego.

Sheriff’s officials said Vindiola worked for a third party delivery service that contracts for Amazon deliveries. She told sheriff’s investigators that she tried to give Finn to a friend and then to her mother, but neither wanted the dog, leading her to turn Finn in to an animal shelter in El Centro.

The dog was reunited with Rappenhagen the following day.

Vindiola pleaded guilty earlier this year to a count of grand theft of personal property.

The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE

TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than

one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 108357-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the

property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase.

First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www. clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 108357-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.

If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. FOR SALES

Aztecs stayin’ alive amid March Madness

From 9:05 a.m. Thursday morning till the clock hit 0:00 on the scoreboard in Denver on Sunday night, we saw the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament shrink from 64 teams to 16.

March Madness never disappoints — electric, dramatic and unbelievable.

Let’s recap …

It took only the second game of the tournament to spring a huge upset. Mid-major Furman took down ACC powerhouse Virginia in a game that shifted in the final seconds behind an errant pass that led to a game-winning 3-point shot to give the Paladins an unlikely win in their first appearance in the Big Dance in 43 years.

Miami vs. Houston: Both teams are wellcoached and can move up and down the floor. Houston knows how to get to the Final Four, and this gets the Cougars one game closer.

Edge to Houston.

Princeton vs. Creighton: Both teams are playing tough and tight. Both can shoot and score. This game, to me, is dead even. Who knows?

Xavier vs. Texas: Two

tough teams playing right. One will lose. I think Texas is a Final Four team and can create havoc. Xavier head coach Sean Miller has been excellent in rebuilding the Musketeers in his first season and a second stint in Cincy. Edge to Texas.

We’ll know the Final Four by Sunday … then off to Houston for the chip. It’s been a tremendous college basketball season. Cheers!

Next up in Orlando, the San Diego State Aztecs got off to a sluggish start, fought their way back and over a high-scoring Charleston team that won 20 games in a row this season. SDSU’s defense was tough and solid all game. On Saturday, the Aztecs had little trouble with Furman. Senior leadership and poise were the key factors in both games for the locals.

It didn’t take long for another tremor to shake the tournament as Princeton finished the game with

After Thursday, only 658 perfect brackets were left out of 20,635,335. After Friday night, there were none left, just wasted paper.

A day with skateboarding’s first family

Igrew up in the inland town of Montebello — not the best place to be a surfer. Since the ocean was 25 miles away, surfing was generally a weekend treat. On other days we studied Surfer Magazine or went sidewalk surfing, aka skateboarding.

Nobody I knew had the money to buy a manufactured skateboard, so I, like my friends, tore apart my steel-wheeled roller skates and hammered them onto a two-by-four. One pebble on the driveway and you were finished.

Our flesh must have contained silly putty, however, because we always seemed to bounce off the pavement. The worst that ever happened was a scraped knee.

Then again, I was not skating ramps or pools and the biggest challenge was the high school tennis court where I practiced turning, cutting back and hanging ten for hours.

I didn’t know it then, but there were other skateboarders who were taking these metallic deathtraps to the limit. One such quartet, named Logan, lived just around the corner in Hermosa Beach.

By the time the Makaha Skateboarding Team came to prominence, Bruce Logan was at center stage, doing 360s, nose wheelies and other moves I previously thought impossible.

While tops among them, Bruce was not the

water spot

only talented Logan. His brothers, Brian and Brad, and his sister Robin were also busting down the doors of skateboarding performance.

Last Saturday, I along with a few hundred other surf/skaters, mostly of my vintage, gathered for “Lunch with the Logans,” a celebration held at Todd Huber’s Skateboarding Hall of Fame and Museum in Simi Valley.

Skate legends Tony Alva and Laura Thornhill, both of whom were Logan team standouts, spoke of the days when the Logans, who are alternately known as “The First Family of Skateboarding,” redefined the new sport.

Dogtown leader Alva spoke eloquently about living in the Logans’ shed in Leucadia, the place where Brian fashioned the prototypes that would become the industry standard under the name “Logan Earth Ski,” which was the perfect name for a device that revolutionized youth culture in a way topped only by rock ’n’ roll music.

In the mid-1970s I bought a Logan board for

$25. I was in my 20s, strong and agile from surfing daily when I pulled up to La Costa’s black hill.

The road appeared as a silk ribbon, and I arrived to see local boys Gregg Weaver, Rodney Jessie, and Ty “Mr. Incredible” Page make the impossible look easy.

Page and Bruce Logan did endless 360s before Bruce upped the ante by rolling down the hill in a 40mph nose wheelie, devoid, in my flawed memory, of any safety equipment. Turns out he didn’t need it, as he rarely fell.

The afternoon at the museum progressed joyfully, Brian Logan handling the microphone like Chick Hearn at a Lakers game. Logan, who knows all the players in the game intimately, shared the mic with rivals like Henry Hester, his brothers and his sister, Robin, the skater who once took $4 for four races from Hester after defeating the champ in four consecutive runs.

These few words are a mere pinky fingernail of the body that made up that afternoon. Thanks for including me in a day that celebrates your family’s accomplishments, Brian. So stoked to help document some days that changed the world.

Chris Ahrens’ latest book, “AlphaPhoenicia, A Gangster’s Fairytale,” is available through his website at: Godngangsters.com, or through Amazon Books.

Rushing water is not a sound you hear in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.

Except for this spring.

“I thought it was the wind,” said our friend John after we were halted partway through our hike up Palm Canyon Trail because the creek did rise.

Our party of four was stunned when we came upon what is normally a trickle-of-a-stream about 20 minutes up the trail. The noise was loud enough that we had to raise our voices a bit to discuss the situation.

No passage possible, so we paralleled the creek, hoping to find a manageable crossing, until we couldn’t.

I was disappointed that we had to turn back, but excited to have seen this unusual result of Mother Nature’s work.

Like so much of California, the Anza-Borrego Desert has received greater-than-usual rainfall this winter. Not quite the torrents that have drenched many places, but it takes only a handful of inches to turn small streams into turbulent water too high to cross. The other result: flow-

ers — and the hordes of looky-loos that come to see them.

Though no one is calling this year’s floral display a super bloom, I give it an eight out of 10; it takes a lot less than that to draw visitors to this desert wonderland.

And though the park is nearly 600,000 acres, flower hunters congregate mostly in and around Borrego Springs, the unincorporated town of about 2,000 that sits within the park’s boundaries. Resi-

dents there brace for the onslaught of weekend swarms, so a word of advice: Go during the week.

Borrego Springs residents still talk about the super bloom of 2017 when the area was overrun with thousands from all points nationwide.

Businesses ran out of food, water and toilet paper. The park’s visitor center was mobbed and subsequently closed. Rangers and sheriffs attempted to break up traffic that was jammed to Julian, and

paramedics scrambled to care for all the numbskulls that didn’t bring water.

This year’s bloom is notable, too.

Among the low-growing vegetation, the first to bloom and in abundance now along Henderson Canyon Road, are sand verbena, desert primrose, desert lily and desert sunflower. At the state park’s visitor center’s garden, see brittlebush, heliotrope, chuparosa, barrel cactus, beavertail cactus and desert dandelions.

For more listings, visit the Anza-Borrego Foundation’s website. Volunteers at the park’s visitor center are well versed on the best places to see flowers.

Bonus: The giant metal sculptures of Ricardo Breceda. There are at least 130 scattered throughout the valley east of town. Many are giant re-creations of the animals that once lived in this desert. Some, like dinosaurs, never did.

And some, like the 350-foot-long serpent that undulates in and out of the desert floor, are just a figment of the artist’s imagination.

Get a detailed map at the Anza-Borrego Desert Natural History Association or at the Borrego Springs Chamber of Commerce, 786 Palm Canyon Drive.

Rebru hits the Longball, Beerfest comes to Petco

cheers! north county ryan

Irecently received a sample of Rebru Spirits’ (Barrio Logan) newest concoction Longball Lemon Iced Tea, which arrived in a nice box that I quickly put in my “lovely box” cabinet.

There comes an age where one doesn’t just dispose of nice packaging. I’ve been over that age for long enough that I’ve had to reconsider what I think of as a nice box.

This one was nice, but I digress.

Longball is an apple wine-based liquor that contains real tea, lemon, and other flavors. In addition to the bottle, there were single and double-shot cans of

ready-to-drink (RTD) Longball & Soda.

The canned cocktails were quite refreshing and not overwhelming palate blasters.

Since Longball is brewed with fortified apple wine, a fermented apple cider, it isn’t technically a spirit.

However, its alt-cocktail status allows it to be sold at venues holding a beer and wine license, and per a press release, it will be available at Total Wines around San Diego right about…now.

TURN TO CHEERS! ON 24

Descobres and Winebow Imports teamed up to curate a true Wines of the World tasting. Of the 34 brands represented at the show, only two were from the US, and the other 32 were from Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, Italy, New Zealand, and Spain.

I have been to several “Wines of the World” tastings to find a plethora of US wines, with only a handful from outside the country.

Kudos to Eric Rimmele, Descobres’s founding partner, and Jesse Nevarez, Winebow's director of national accounts off-premise, for putting together such a diverse representation of wines, especially Italian wines, with 11 Italian brands and 23 labels. Even more remarkable was hosting the event at The Westgate Hotel, an iconic award-winning hotel in the heart of San Diego.

It was good seeing Argentina being represented by the wines of Bodega Catena Zapata under the leadership of Nicolas Catena, who thrust Argentinian wine into the modern era with superior wine quality. Nicolas was named a Decanter Magazine Wine Legend in 1997.

Catena’s fourth generation includes daughters

Laura and Adrianna. Laura is the winery’s managing director and Catena Institute of Wine (CIW) founder and board member.

Adrianna traded being a historian to join the family’s wine business. She started the El Enemigo label with business partner Ale(jandro) Vigil, whom Adrianna met while studying at Oxford University and is also Catena’s winemaker.

Tessa Corbett, one of Winebows reps at the Argentina booth, took us through their power lineup that started with Adrianna Vineyard White Stones Chardonnay.

The vineyard is in Uco Valley in the foothills of the Andes Mountains with an altitude of 4,700 feet resulting in unique crispness, minerality, and acidity. Tessa was also pouring

Catena Malbec, a solid, everyday go-to malbec for me. She then pulled out the heavy hitters with the Nicolas Catena Zapata Bordeaux blend cuvee (65% cab sauv/35% malbec).

The fruit is harvested by hand with fermentation in 500-liter oak barrels, concrete, and stainless steel tanks and is aged in French oak for 18 months.

Then, Tessa unveiled the highlight of the booth when she poured the Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino. The Argentino is a 100% malbec produced from vines that are over 90 years old at 3,000 feet and newer 20-year-old plantings at 3,600 feet with 20% whole cluster and 80% berry fruit fermentation.

This was an exceptional malbec with gentle flavors and ultra-smooth tannins. I thought it was the

best wine at the show. Our next stop was down under where Winebow’s Andii Ulrich, a French wine scholar and WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) certified, took us through the Australian wine portfolio she was pouring featuring Australia’s Eden Valley Yalumba wines by owner Robert Hill-Smith.

“Yalumba is one of the world’s leading Viognier winemakers,” Ulrich said while pouring a viognier. The stone fruit flavors with a hint of saffron made this viognier a perfect pairing for Asian and Middle Eastern dishes. Ulrich also shared a grenache and, of course, shiraz. The second shiraz was Yalumba’s Signature label with their best cabernet sauvignon fruit

NOLA is a somewhat in-the-know way to say New Orleans, and it is the driving force behind Q&A Restaurant and Oyster Bar in downtown Oceanside.

I should also note that Q&A is part of the Brick Hotel, Frankie’s Oceanside cocktail bar and CocoCabana, a rooftop tropical cocktail bar, all from Grind & Prosper Hospitality. Q&A is derived from culinary director Quinnton “Q” Austin and is the North County extension of the Louisiana Purchase in North Park.

The Brick Hotel is the foundation of these great establishments, a building with a storied history and a place worthy of a staycation base camp. The building was initially constructed in 1888 as the town’s first hardware store, the historic brick structure has seen many lives over the past 130-plus years.

In 2022, the building opened its doors to guests as The Brick Hotel. Historic touches can be found in each room, from the 1880s-era bricks lining the walls to the wood luggage rack in the closet made from the original lumber that dates back over a century.

With just 10 unique rooms, it truly is a boutique hotel. Its location in the heart of the revitalized downtown Oceanside and all its on-premises restaurants and bars make it a desired place for locals and tourists alike.

My visit focused on Q&A, though, as I had an opportunity to record an interview for Lick the Plate Radio on The Mightier 1090 with executive chef and culinary director Quinnton Austin.

Our conversation covered him growing up in New Orleans, including being displaced by Hurricane Katrina, his early kitchen gigs, and some of the more notable stops that shaped his culinary style.

We also tasted some of his musical memories from being immersed in one of the more vibrant music scenes worldwide.

Quinnton trained at the Culinary Institute of New Orleans and then spent 15 years cooking in Louisiana. Chef Q has a long list of stellar kitchens on his resume, including Antoine’s — serving 700 people at lunchtime on average — Dickie Brennan’s, Copeland’s, Morton’s and Ruth’s Chris.

This impressive (and extensive) list was part of his plan to learn as many

Food &Wine

cooking styles and cultural tastes as possible in the New Orleans restaurant scene’s highly competitive culinary environment.

In 2018, Chef Q landed in San Diego to join Grind & Prosper Hospitality and open Louisiana Purchase in North Park.

Being a huge fan of oysters and New Orleans-style cuisine, I was excited for the meal that awaited later that night.

Given our location, I had to start with a cocktail, and the King Creole with a house rum blend, creole shrub, caramelized pineapple and cinnamon made me feel like I was sitting on Bourbon Street in the Big Easy.

The cocktail menu is loaded with NOLA favorites, including the infamous Hurricane.

Oysters were next up, and I’ll say up front that Q&A is an oyster lover’s paradise. They divide their offerings into regions, including Gulf Coast, East Coast and West Coast, with more detailed sub-regions within each.

Five preparations include Poppa Legba, charbroiled with sriracha lime

butter sauce, ghost pepper, cilantro and lime. Oyster Shooters with house pickled vodka and a French Quarter house bloody mix. Raw Oysters are offered, along with charbroiled with Cajun spice, garlic-lemon butter and parmesan.

And finally, my selection was the Oysters Rockefeller, charbroiled with spinach artichoke, herbs and parmesan. It’d been a while since I’d had a cooked oyster with that

fantastic mix of toppings, and it was delightful.

Chef Q mentioned in our interview that his fried chicken was inspired by his grandmother, and being the lover of fried chicken that I am, I had to try it. The dish, Chicken Man, included two giant wings and a thigh, and they were spectacular.

My companion had the Seafood Crepe with garlic cream, a seafood blend, potatoes and broccolini,

which was also quite tasty. We planned to sample three dishes, but the two we tried were so sizeable we left it at that.

So I will return for the Gumbo, Shrimp Creole N Grits, Crawfish Etouffee Catfish, Soft Shell Crab Salad, Crawfish Garlic Wings, the Prawn Jambalaya and the Frenchmen Strip Steak with a crawfish Monica sauce.

I’ll save room for the only dessert on the menu,

the NOLA classic Beignets. Next time back, I will also take a Lyft or Uber and partake in the rooftop bar for a happy hour before indulging in this fabulous New Orleans-inspired fare from a chef who does it as authentically as anyone.

NOTICE

TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS:

If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

If you consult either of these

resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY

OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call the number shown below in BOLD, using the REF number assigned to this case on SHOWN ABOVE. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust.

EVENTS CONTINUED FROM 13 blended with Old Vine Shiraz.

The nose had red fruit with blueberries and a hint of cedar and tobacco. The blend’s palate was complex and had a nice finish due to 21 months of aging in 33% new French, American, and Hungarian oak.

We finished the show in “Italy,” where guests could sample the 11 brands and 23 previously mentioned labels, including Brunello di Montalcino and Brunello di Montepulciano and many more.

Some might have noticed that most Brunello’s cost more when shopping around, and there is a great reason for this. Brunellos must be aged for five years before being released.

Riserva Brunellos require at least one more year for at least six years of aging. Also, Montalcino reds are 100% sangiovese fruit compared to Brunellos hailing from Montepulciano that require 70% sangiovese.

My two standouts for the Italian section were the Altesino Brunello di Montalcino and Riserva. I liked the acidic palate with cherry, plum, red fruit, and raspberry that followed the nose of red fruit with leather and vanilla.

The Riserva, to be

expected, had a less tannic and softer finish with the extra year of aging. Both were good, but if you can afford the extra $60 for the Riserva, it is the better of the two and had hints of chocolate that I did not get when tasting the non-reserve version. More info at descobres. com.

According to the staff report, the combustible engine vehicles would add 123 metric tons of annual emissions.

The police department is looking to expand its vehicle lifespan from four to eight years by launching its Take Home Vehicle program, which allows officers to take their department-issued vehicles home to streamline productivity. The move is also an effort to retain more officers for more extended periods of employment.

Mayor Keith Blackburn, a former CPD sergeant, said it costs about $180,000 to train and outfit an officer before they ride patrol fully. So he said it’s critical for the city and department to use every incentive to keep its officers in Carlsbad.

In April 2022, the Carlsbad City Council adopted a policy allowing the “funding, acquisition or use of military equipment by the Carlsbad Police Department.”

The following month, the council voted to replace the police department’s 17-year-old dispatch system, which included purchasing in-car video systems for 60 vehicles.

Avid surfer and board member

Michael Glenn making waves in Encinitas

Avid surfer, marketer and business executive Michael Glenn grew up in Corona del Mar, a small beach town just north of Encinitas. “My dad installed a sense of community in me- he loved talking to all the shop owners, having neighborhood parties, and doing charitable work.”

When Michael moved to Encinitas in the mid-‘90s, he knew North County was a special place to raise a family and create new business opportunities. “I wanted to continue my father’s passion for supporting the town I live in.”

And continue it he did. His love of surfing led Michael to San Diego State University where he studied meteorology, geology and geography. After graduation, friends would call and ask for surf forecasts which he obliged via a weekly fax starting in 1995. Now the reports have grown to include the daily surf blog North County Surf http://northcountysurf. blogspot.com/ and everything

that encompasses his life -- surfing, networking, charitable work, and supporting local businesses.

Michael is Director

of Business Operations for Printsmith Solutions, where he works with action sports, automotive, and real estate industries to help clients design and print their marketing materials. He serves on the Board of the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce and is on the Economic Development and Encinitas Visitors Center Committees. He also founded the North County Board Meeting in 2014, where he brought together over 150 businesses and is the Chairman of the Board.

“I joined the Encinitas Chamber because it was an extension of what I was already doing- helping grow local businesses and networking. I want to make sure we maintain our character in Encinitas. Being part of the Chamber is a great way to do that. The Chamber is a fantastic resource to help businesses navigate all the hurdles to becoming successful. If you’re a current business owner in Encinitas or want

to start one, please reach out to me to see how the Chamber can assist in your growth. northcountyboardmeeting@ gmail.com.”

“One of the best things of living and working here is that every day is a staycation. My perfect day is getting on my Electra bike with my wife, heading down to Coffee Coffee, surfing at Seaside, then grabbing lunch from my son at Urbn Pizza, chatting with the crew at Encinitas Surfboards, getting a carne asada burrito at Las Olas at sunset, and ending the night with a staycation at Surfhouse.”

“I see tremendous growth for the Encinitas Visitors Center being a resource for travelers and the community. I’ve always believed you should be proud of the town you live in. There are a lot of great places to visit in this world and I believe Encinitas is one of them.”

Springsteen tour adds San Diego stop on Dec. 2

By City News Service

REGION — A tour stop for Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band has been added in San Diego, one of two new shows announced Tuesday.

Springsteen, who is touring with the E Street Band for the first time since 2017, added a show at Pechanga Arena in San Diego on Dec. 2. Tickets for the San Diego show go on sale Friday.

Springsteen and The E Street Band last performed in San Diego on Sept. 2, 1981, at the Sports Arena. The newly added show will be at the same location, renamed Pechanga Arena San Diego.

Springsteen performed with a different band in San Diego in 1992. He performed an acoustic show at the San Diego Civic Theatre in 1996 after the release of his 1995 solo album, “The Ghost of Tom Joad,” which included the San Diego-inspired song, “Balboa Park.”

The 2023 tour opened in Tampa, Fla., on Feb. 1.

Tickets for the Dec. 2 concert will be available at 10 a.m. Friday on the AXS. com website and app and at 11 a.m. at the Pechanga Arena box office, 3500 Sports Arena Blvd. Prices for the 7:30 p.m. show have not been released.

Local Strut Hair Solutions founder unveils restorative hair care solution

Helena Gibson founded Strut Hair Solutions 21 years ago to help women struggling with thinning hair, a mission that began with her mother. “Her scalp would sunburn if she was in the sun too long or she’d avoid dating and social events because of her hair,” Gibson recalls. “I knew other women must feel the same way.”

She identified a void in the market for women with genetic thinning, like her mother, temporary hair loss due to menopause or post-partum and/or medical hair loss caused by chemotherapy, alopecia, trichotillomania and other conditions.

Over the years, Strut Hair Solutions has helped thousands of women in need of more hair become their best selves!

Today, Strut Hair Solutions is a space for women to feel vibrant, sexy and, above all, free of negative self-image caused by hair loss. Strut carries the best in European hair wigs, Remy hair extensions, topof-the-head pieces, natural topical solutions and non-invasive laser hair restoration treatments. Recognizing that high-quality hair solutions are an invest-

ment, Strut also provides washing, cutting and styling services.

“I am always inspired by the change in a client’s demeanor when we find the perfect hair solution for her,” Gibson says. “We always say: She walks in and then struts out!” The secret to Gibson’s success is hiring a team of professionals based on their passion and positive attitude.

“You can teach skills, but not attitude, that comes from within,” she says.

But she isn’t stopping there. Gibson recently launched her own product line, Unveil Restorative Hair Care, which includes

a thickening/hair growth serum as the hero product.

“I have taken the last 21 years of experience with clients telling me what was important to them, as well as selling other hair-thick-

most for my customers.”

Unveil Restorative Hair Care treats the causes of hair loss and delights each client with a fuller, thicker and richer head of hair.

You can find out more about Gibson’s new product line of hair thickening/ hair growth products, or to shop online, by visiting StrutHairSolutions.com or by calling 858-755-9447 to schedule a consultation with her team of hair specialists.
