Since the opening of Olympus Park in early May, many have enjoyed the park’s numerous attractions, including a skate park and zipline.

However, neighborhood residents have deRANCHO scribed something far less appealing — parked cars SFNEWS obstructing fire lanes, public urination and loitering on private lawns.

Jordan Stockholm, a longtime Piraeus Street resident, fears his neighborhood has been plunged into a seemingly irreversible change.

Stockholm recalled one particular incident when his wife was verbally abused for asking teenagers not to ride their e-bikes through the park section designated for younger children.

“My wife spoke up and said, ‘Hey, please stop.’ They got in her face and there were four of them standing there yelling obscenities at her,” said Stockholm, who was speaking with his wife on the phone at the time of the incident and told her to “run.”

“And someone on the phone heard me say it and said, ‘Yeah, run you b---.’”

Stockholm has reached out to the city multiple times requesting parking enforcement and even the removal of the skating feature, fearing that it attracts unruly individuals.

“I wish my little boy felt comfortable now wanting to go to this amazing park but after he saw his mom being verbally attacked, he was afraid,” said Stockholm. “I’m not asking the city to tear the park down. I’m asking them to do the right thing

By City News Service

CARLSBAD — Former professional skateboarder Mark “Gator” Rogowski, who was convicted of raping and murdering a woman in Carlsbad 30 years ago, was scheduled to make his fourth plea for parole on Thursday.

Rogowski was sentenced to 31 years to life behind bars for the 1991 killing of 22-year- old Jessica Bergsten, who was struck over the ROGOWSKI head with a metal steering wheel lock, raped and suffocated.

Her skeletal remains were found buried in a shallow grave in a remote part of the desert in Imperial County. Rogowski confessed to the killing weeks later.

Now 54, Rogowski was denied parole in 2011 and 2016. In late 2019, he was granted parole, but the decision was reversed last year

by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Thursday morning’s hearing was to be held behind closed doors at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, where Rogowski is incarcerated.

‘Bike to Peter’ honors injured Callaway worker

By Steve Puterski

OCEANSIDE — It was an emotional day as 60 Callaway Golf employees rolled up to Tri-City Medical Center to visit one of their own.

The crew came in support of Peter Ligotti, an employee at Callaway Golf, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, a broken cheekbone and orbital socket and spent 22 days in a coma following an April 4 mountain biking accident.

Since then, he’s spent his days at Tri-City but was released to his family on May 20 to continue his rehabilitation, which may take between six months to two years, according to Emily Ligotti, Peter’s wife.

But for Peter Ligotti, just being able to see his friends and co-workers was more than enough to lift his spirits.

“It shocked me how many people came,” he said. “It shocked me how many parts of my life were represented by people who

Legion ousts Escondido post commander

By Tigist Layne

ESCONDIDO — Michael “Mick” Sobczak was removed as the post commander of J.B. Clark American Legion Post 149 last week and has transferred out of the post after facing a “trial” by his fellow post members, the result of social media posts that surfaced showing his ties to the Proud Boys.

In January, the Union-Tribune first reported that Sobczak was removed from two national leadership roles by the American Legion after photos shared on two social media accounts showed him wearing a Proud Boys jacket and marching with other Proud Boys at a Dec. 12 pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C. The rally eventually turned violent.

In a separate video shared on a Facebook account under the name “Mick Florio,” Sobczak bragged about a physical altercation with an anti-Trump activist during a protest in Yorba Linda in Orange County.

The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies the Proud Boys as a hate group, and the Anti-Defamation League describes the organization as a gang.

Since Feb. 16, Sobczak had been the subject of a trial that would determine whether he would be removed from his position or from the post altogether.

John Smartt, the post’s former 1st vice commander, directly under Sobczak in the chain of command, told The Coast News via email that the trial concluded on Saturday, May 22: “Michael Sobczak is no longer Commander of American Legion Post 149.

Additionally, he appeared at the Evidentiary Hearing that was scheduled on May 22nd at the Post and through his attorney, provided a copy of his transfer out of Post 149 effective May 20, 2021.

The post’s board, which consists of three officers — Smartt, a judge advocate and a disinterested party — conducted Sobczak’s trial.

Smartt said that the post had completed its elections and that a new commander would be installed on June 5. Smartt will serve as acting commander until then.

According to the post’s election announcement via Facebook, the new commander will be Mike Frank. Sobczak was also up for re-election.

Sobczak has a right to appeal the verdict, according to the post’s bylaws, but it is unclear if he will do so. He did not respond to requests for comment and has previously declined multiple requests from The Coast News.

The members “look forward to putting this difficult time behind us,” Smartt said in his email.

Teachers union initiates recall of San Dieguito trustee

By Bill Slane

ENCINITAS — Yet another recall effort is underway in North County.

After the San Dieguito Union High School District’s marathon meeting late Thursday night, Trustee Michael Allman, of Area 4, was served with a Notice of Intention, the first step in a recall process for his seat.

If the recall is successful, it would mark the second special election on the school board this year initiated by the San Dieguito Faculty Association (SDFA), a local teachers union.

In late April, the San Dieguito Faculty Association launched a petition to challenge Trustee Ty Humes just one week after his provisional appointment. Humes is now facing a special election for his Area 5 seat.

Allman joins the likes of Carlsbad Councilwoman Cori Schumacher, Oceanside Councilwoman Kori Jensen and Vista Unified School District Trustee Martha Alvarado as elected officials who now face recall efforts in the North County.

Allman was elected to his seat in the last November election and his current term does not end until 2024.

Duncan Brown, president of the San Dieguito Faculty Association, told The Coast News Allman has created “havoc” within the district since taking office.

“Really since Michael Allman has taken office in December," Brown said.

Much of the criticism surrounding Allman focuses on a Facebook group started by Allman as part of his election campaign.

While he is no longer a group administrator, his wife, Lee Ann, remains one.

The private group, SDUHSD Families for School Reopening, has nearly 2,000 members and has been the subject of controversy after several posts were published disparaging teachers and those opposed to a full return to on-campus instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a statement announcing their intention to lead the effort to recall Allman, the SDFA also made several counts against the trustee.

“Mr. Allman has repeatedly violated numerous Codes of Conduct included in the San Dieguito Union High School District Master Contract, Board Bylaws,

SDUHSD TRUSTEE Michael Allman was served with a Notice of Intention after a May 20 school board meeting. The San Dieguito Faculty Association alleges Allman has has created “havoc” within the district. File photo

and School Board Policies, therefore, disregarding the obligations he was sworn to uphold,” SDFA said in the statement.

Allman told The Coast News he has no intention to resign before the end of his term.

“I have every intention of serving out my full term, including defending the recall,” Allman said. “I don’t intend to be quiet while people disparage my character and attempt to recall me.”

Speaking on some of the criticisms charged to him, Allman said he has tried to focus his own criticisms onto the teachers’ union as a whole rather than individuals.

“I know that some people in the union, in particular, will say that teachers are the teachers’ union but I can give you many examples that show the union leadership does not reflect not just all the teachers but even the majority of the teachers on some issues,” Allman told The Coast News.

Allman does admit to calling out at least one or

two specific teachers by name in the past, however, he contends that the behavior of those in question warranted open criticisms.

In an email to his rank and file teachers, Brown expressed optimism that the effort would be successful.

“Our community is behind us and will stand with us in this fight,” Brown wrote.

Allman will have seven days to respond to the Notice of Intention, after which the SDFA will have ten days to file the neces-

sary documents with the county to move the recall forward.

Following that, there will be 120 days for SDFA and its supporters to collect just over 5000 signatures that will be required to force a recall election.

Low-cost housing? The state keeps ignoring new realities

F

Why is crime up in Encinitas?

A

By Julie Thunder

ccording to FBI crime statistics recently published on SANDAG’s website, it remains true that Encinitas experiences a lower rate of crime than does the wider San Diego region.

That’s the good news.

The bad news, unfortunately, is that things are changing: The city of Encinitas saw the local crime rate rise sharply in 2020.

The tally of what the FBI terms “Index” crimes (a combination of violent crimes and crimes against property), was up 17% per capita in Encinitas, in stark contrast to an 8% decline in the broader region.

Violent crime in Encinitas increased 55%, versus 1% for the region, and Encinitas property crimes were up 12%, versus the region’s decline of 10%.

The FBI documented crime increase comports with anecdotal evidence one hears from residents.

Many believe Encinitas is experiencing more crime, and they may be right.

One’s first reaction to this news might be to suspect the influence of the pandemic and the associated lockdown, or perhaps last year’s social discord on display across the nation.

They would be mistaken. Were it so, we would observe a parallel effect in the data pertaining to other cities and towns. In fact, only one other locality saw a comparable increase in crime: Valley Center, with a population less than 1/6 that of Encinitas, took the top spot, with its index crime rate up 22% — likely a small absolute increase on a very low base.

Without access to more granular data it’s difficult to form a reasoned conclusion about the cause of this increase.

Hopefully it is the result of some local policy misstep. If so, a policy adjustment could lead to a course correction.

Looking back over the prior year, one local government policy shift is noted — Encinitas became more accommodating toward the homeless population, likely resulting in growth of that cohort among us.

Many residents believe that more homelessness results in more crime — perhaps it’s true.

We need to know for sure.

This is an issue that demands more scrutiny. The public deserves to know what is happening and to have a say in what will be

done about it.

A sound understanding of the causes of crime in Encinitas cannot be developed without thorough knowledge of the facts and circumstance.

To avoid misapprehension of the issue, the City Council should communicate to the San Diego County Sheriff its desire that full public disclosure be made of the reports and underlying data on which the FBI summary was based.

Naturally, such data should be anonymized to the extent necessary to protect the innocent and to avoid interference with ongoing investigations.

Assessing the problem of crime with incorrect information can lead to bad policy decisions.

If the surge evident in the latest report resulted from increased homelessness, we need to know that.

If not, we need to discern the true origin of this social deterioration.

The City Council should enable the residents of Encinitas to have access to this information, in order to shed light on whatever the truth may be.

Letters to the Editor

Please no more pickleball-only courts Dear Commissioners, I play tennis at Cottonwood Creek Park in Encinitas two or more times a week.

I find the arrangements friendly with players respecting the onehour limit. And pickleball players moving to one side and rotating quickly into games when tennis players arrive.

Some of the friends I rally with are not as patient with the long wait times to play.

The single court by Moonlight Beach is always full and another nearby park only has pickleball

courts.

The long wait time has caused me to lose tennis partners and made me consider paying to join a private club to have a court to play.

Hearing the city is thinking of building pickleball-only courts makes me feel excluded.

I strongly disagree with building the pickleball-only courts. Multi-use courts include all players and inspire people to try another sport.

The game of tennis has fewer injuries, provides better aerobic exercise and has longer games

than pickleball.

Time on the court to finish a game needs to be considered to ensure a fair ratio of city-owned tennis to pickleball courts.

It’s not only about the number of people who play, but that all sports enthusiasts get a chance to play.

My letter was prompted by a petition for pickleball-only courts and a posted city notice of upcoming meeting on courts.

Please include me in meetings about the topic.

Promise Yee Encinitas

rom Sacramento comes word that the median price for a single-family home in California skyrocketed by 24% over less than one year, topping $810,000 in May, a rise of almost 30% from the previous year.

At the same time, one developer of “affordable” housing in Southern California revealed that the average cost of a two-bedroom unit in a new four-story, 48-unit building that will target low-income families, comes to $729,265. Much of that tab will be picked up by local taxpayers, and the building is pretty typical of so-called affordable housing all around California.

Such buildings, the developer said, will likely “increase affordable housing opportunities for families who often have difficulty finding appropriately sized housing” in the region.

Even if thousands of buildings like this one were constructed around the state over the next six years, they wouldn’t come close to solving California’s housing shortage, which some experts say is the main reason median prices keep rising steeply. Gov. Gavin Newsom plumped during his 2018 campaign for building 3 million new units by 2025, a total that won’t even be approached.

Rather than focusing on ways to really resolve the state’s housing problem — and thereby deal simultaneously with the homeless crisis which now sees more than 160,000 individuals sleeping outdoors or in mass shelters every night, winter or summer — state and local officials persist in trying to build ever more expensive new structures.

That’s happening, unreasonably, while the potential solution involving very little new construction stares these same local and

california focus

tom elias

state “experts” in the face.

The answer is simple, and will resolve problems for many disparate interests. It’s also inevitable, even if many state legislators and developer interests refuse to see it.

That solution has been obvious since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, when thousands of businesses sent their white collar workers home to do their jobs at the same time the businesses themselves started campaigning to get out of long-term leases.

Because many of those companies are delighted to let employees stay home post-pandemic, thus cutting their real estate costs, billions of square feet of former office space are now vacant, most of it likely to stay that way for the foreseeable future.

Law firms, stock brokerages, insurance companies, internet firms — essentially office-based businesses of all types — are dumping their leases, moving to smaller quarters and enjoying the fact their employees appear to be just as efficient away from the office.

Polls indicate about two-thirds of onetime office workers prefer to stay home, where they can set their schedules more independently and save money on both child care and commuting costs.

That leaves building owners holding the bag.

Many are real estate investment trusts whose shares are sold as investments to folks expecting regular div-

idend payments. The main way for them to recover their investments in office towers and other buildings will be to turn them at last partly into residences, as this column first suggested in April 2020, when the trend became obvious to anyone looking.

The current office vacancies do not exist just in California. The New York Times the other day headlined a long-ish story on the office-conversion scene there “Eerie Emptiness in New York.” Quite a contrast to the many previous tales of overcrowded Manhattan.

Once buildings are converted either wholly or in part to residential units, much of the housing shortage will disappear. It’s a far cheaper and easier task than building billions of new square feet, often in places where existing residents don’t want them.

That means fewer lawsuits, less disruption of established neighborhoods, more convenience for most residents. It also means fewer construction jobs, although there will still be plenty of work involved in drywall, carpentry, electricity and plumbing shifts, plus construction of new elevators. But the buildings’ profiles and footprints will not change, giving neighbors little to gripe about.

The real question here is why legislators and local city council and county board members keep pushing more and more new construction, which is obsolete and hard to sell even before it’s built. The answer most likely lies in campaign donations from developers and building trade unions.

So once again, it’s money interfering with inevitable progress and problem solving.

Allman recall effort is a ‘disturbing use of power’

I

By Susan Siljander

t is unconscionable that Duncan Brown delivered recall paperwork to Mr. Michael Allman.

The arguments for a recall are that of a spoiled child, someone who did not get their way.

The San Dieguito Faculty Association (SDFA) cannot recall someone because they disagree with their politics.

Mr. Allman was nominated by the majority FOR THESE tenets. He was nominated on the platform of listening to students and parents.

He was NOT nominated to listen to the teachers’ union. While the SDFA may not like that, it is not grounds for recall.

This is a disturbing use of power and funds. Please rescind this action immediately, as it has no basis in facts and is further disrupting our schools.

“The grounds for the recall” that were delivered to Michael Allman, outside the SDUHSD district office on May 20, 2021, in quotes, are verbatim: • “Since taking office in December, 2020, Michael Allman has repeatedly disregarded the obligations he was sworn to uphold.”

False.

Mr. Allman has conscientiously visited every campus, attended every board meeting, talked offline with parents and students about all manners of worries/complaints against the District.

This could be proven with a log of his daily activities or a review of his emails.

He ran on the platform of listening to students and parents and has delivered on his platform. He did NOT run on the platform of listening to the teachers’ union.

• “Michael Allman does not support public education and has publicly encouraged and engaged in discussions about ‘school choice,’ vouchers, and charter schools in our District.

His private Facebook group is managed by a charter school administrator.”

False.

I have been in this Facebook group since its inception and this is simply not true.

While there are some

members (parents) who have repeatedly recommended moving to private schools or school choice vouchers, Michael does not engage in those discussions.

Prior to election, Mr. Allman used the Facebook group to espouse his platform and get volunteers.

After the election, Mr. Allman participates in the Facebook group to write summaries of board meetings. I find these summaries to be very insightful and nowhere does Mr. Allman propose charter schools.

• “Michael Allman has made public disparaging comments about students and student Board members. ‘I think the value that they (student Board members) provide in what we have to decide on is very near zero’ (12/15/20 Board Meeting).”

He was speaking to Trustee Young to remind her that she is voting on behalf of 13,000+ students and all of their families.

She cannot abdicate her vote to six student board members.

Students were not voting on this issue, but Trustee Young wanted to allow the student Board members to vote. I was listening to the board meeting at the time and I felt it was a valid statement, even if it hurt some people’s feelings.

It was also very clear in this timeframe that student board members were regurgitating the words of SDUHSD administration and teachers and were not representative of the student population. Student board members don’t vote on every issue and even when they do, their votes are symbolic.

The following board meeting he publicly apologized for his hasty choice of words.

• “Michael Allman has allowed racial slurs and xenophobia to go unchecked in the private Facebook group he uses for School Board business.”

Absolutely false.

I have never seen a racial slur or anti-Jewish slur in that Facebook group.

• “Michael Allman has created a hostile work environment by repeatedly and publicly making and encouraging disparaging comments about SDUHSD

teachers and administrators both individually and collectively, going so far as to encourage firing them and taking individual action to discipline them.”

I am not at SDUHSD HQ. I have found that questioning status quo, which was the platform Mr. Allman ran on, is often times unsettling to current employees. Disciplinary and employment actions for teachers are controlled by a collective bargaining agreement between the teachers’ union and the district.

Mr. Allman is not afraid to hold individual teachers accountable for inappropriate in-classroom behavior and when parents have described this inappropriate behavior, he directs them to report it through the proper channels.

He is doing what the taxpayers asked him to do, and what taxpayers voted for him to do.

• “Michael Allman has repeatedly violated numerous Codes of Conduct included in the San Dieguito Union High School District Master Contract, Board Bylaws, and School Board Policies, he must be removed from office through recall.”

This is so vague as to be a worthless statement. If Codes of Conduct, the Master Contract, Board Bylaws and Policies have been violated, it is the responsibility of the Board President to discipline or sanction a board member.

This has never occurred with Trustee Allman, and in any case, is not the responsibility of the teachers’ union to enforce.

Take it up with the Board President. In addition, when there is a question of policy or law, the lawyers are routinely asked to provide advice. The lawyers have never raised an issue of a violation by Trustee Allman.

To read how other parents in our district value Trustee Allman and are appalled by these strongarm, bullying tactics by the teacher’s union, go to www. allmanforschoolboard.com/ testimonials.

SONGS: Correcting the record

R

By Al Bates

ecently I had the opportunity to join my colleagues from San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) at the May 13 Encinitas Environmental Commission meeting.

We had asked to present at the meeting to correct the many erroneous claims made by the Del Mar-based Samuel Lawrence Foundation at the April 8 meeting of the Commission.

This was important for us to do. As a nearly 40-year resident of Encinitas, I want my community to have the facts about SONGS and how spent nuclear fuel is safely stored there.

This includes bodies such as the Environmental Commission (and city councils). Much of what they heard from the Foundation April 8 was just plain wrong. I speak from experience.

Nuclear energy has been my career since leaving college with a degree in nuclear engineering. I started at SONGS in 1980 and have worked at other nuclear plants in this country and overseas.

For instance, the commissioners were told that our canisters will crack, and nuclear material will leak into the ocean, land, and air.

What was not explained was the science to support the assertion.

Spent nuclear fuel is a solid, ceramic pellet.

The canisters contain no liquid, only inert helium gas. Squeezing a solid pellet, itself sealed in a 14-footlong zirconium-steel al-

loy fuel rod, through a microscopic crack would be physically impossible.

Furthermore, the spent fuel canister itself is surrounded by a steel liner, which is then surrounded by 10-foot-thick concrete.

This amount of concrete shielding, unaffected by any hypothetical canister cracking, effectively reduces the outgoing radiation to tiny fractions above natural background levels. Bottom line: Nothing gets out.

The commissioners also heard a claim that our canisters “cannot be adequately monitored, inspected, repaired, or replaced.”

The U.S. has been storing spent nuclear fuel in welded-lid canisters since 1986 with no impacts to people or the environment.

At SONGS, we have been doing so since 2003, with a similar record. The canisters have a service life of 100 years or more.

At the Commission meeting, we provided links to hundreds of pages of peer-reviewed papers and documents from credible state and federal regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the California Coastal Commission to support our positions.

The Foundation provides no technical data or studies to support their claims.

As to repair, we helped develop an industry leading method using a metal coating that bonds to the canister surface, an application used by the Department of Defense for military applications.

The Foundation dismissed it as “spray paint.”

What is it? A process that

takes heated metal particles suspended in helium and uses a de Laval nozzle to accelerate those particles to supersonic speed, which results in metallurgical bonding with the base metal on impact.

We don’t anticipate ever using it at SONGS, but we have it ready to go.

Regarding inspections, again we undertook an industry leading effort using robots and a borescope that can see detail down to 0.001 of an inch and inspected eight canisters in 2019 with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission observing.

Our inspection and maintenance program for the vertical storage system was reviewed by an independent engineering firm under the auspices of the Coastal Commission, which subsequently approved it. The inspections were performed consistent with ASME-approved Code Case N-860.

The Samuel Lawrence Foundation believes the spent fuel at SONGS will be on our coastline forever.

I don’t share that view.

The Action for Spent Fuel Solutions Now coalition, made up of private and public sector entities, is actively working to ensure the federal government fulfills its obligations and removes this fuel from the Southern California coastline.

I believe we have a choice: Do nothing or take action. I believe taking action is in our community’s best interest.

Council to oppose House bill, says it’s too strict on legal gun owners

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — City Council is urging Congress to reject a bill that would impose strict gun control laws on those who own or who are wishing to own firearms.

Originally introduced in January to the House of Representatives, H.R. 127 proposes to establish a process for licensing and registration of firearms, and prohibits possession of certain ammunition and large capacity ammunition feeding devices.

Under this bill, the Department of Justice would be responsible for establishing and maintaining a publicly available database of all registered firearms.

The DOJ would issue licenses only to individuals over 21 years old or older who complete a criminal background check, a psychological evaluation, a certified training course and who have insurance policies.

Councilmembers Chris Rodriguez and Kori Jensen came forward to Council requesting to write a letter rejecting the bill and sending said letter to Rep. Mike Levin (D-San Juan Capistrano) during the May 19 meeting.

According to Rodriguez, the bill would greatly impact Oceanside’s legal gun owners.

“In a city like Oceans-

HR 127: The Firearm Licensing and Registration Act would establish licensing requirements to posses a firearm and ammunition, including a psychological evaluation and insurance policy. Individuals hospitalized with a mental illness would be denied a license. The bill also prohibits possession of ammunition that is .50 caliber or greater. File photo

ide where there is a large military presence, where there are about 30,000 to 40,000 residents who are responsible gun owners who want to protect their families, H.R. 127 seeks to do many things that will violate those residents’ rights,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez took particular issue with the public database of registered firearms.

“That database could

be accessed publicly, which means the public would know who owns weapons and who doesn’t,” he said.

Rodriguez and Jensen also took issue with the psychological evaluation requirement.

“At one point or another, every person’s medical record contains exclusionary criteria that could deny them their Second Amendment rights,” Jensen said.

Jensen noted that the psychological evaluations would have to be conducted by a licensed psychologist approved by the Attorney General, not independently, and would include interviewing and evaluating other members of the home as well as ex-spouses.

She also suggested that the bill would keep people from seeking treatment for their mental and other health issues if it

means losing their Second Amendment rights.

Deputy Mayor Ryan Keim also agreed that the bill isn’t good for Oceanside or the country as a whole, calling it an “absolute disaster” of a bill.

He said the bill, if passed, would further burden the DOJ and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), thus taking away from their focus on illegally acquired weapons.

Keim, who previously served as an Oceanside police officer, explained that from his experience most gun violence happened with illegal guns.

During his time working with gang related activity, none of the guns he recovered from gangs were registered to the individuals involved.

Police Chief Fred Armijo told Council that of the 108 violent crimes involving firearms committed in Oceanside in 2020, not a single one of them was registered to a suspect.

“Our problem is that gun violence in our city is committed by people not lawfully registering,” Armijo said.

For Armijo, the bill would not have an impact in addressing such gun violence in the city.

Some questioned Council’s need to write and send a letter to Levin regarding this bill.

Resident Roger Davenport suggested that the bill was a means for Rodriguez to push his campaign for the 49th district congressional seat, currently held

by Levin, and said it would be “inappropriate” for Council to take a position on this bill.

He also supported the bill, suggesting that most residents in the city and nation are in support of stricter gun laws.

Though Mayor Esther Sanchez didn’t necessarily see the issue of H.R. 127 as falling under the Council’s purview of issues related to the city, she agreed that the bill went too far and supported writing a letter after seeing her fellow councilmembers’ passion against the bill.

Sanchez also noted that th bill has been stuck in committee for months and is not likely to pass.

She also urged Council to focus on issues that could improve Oceanside, especially with $32.3 million in COVID-19 relief funds on its way.

“As we go forward it’s important that we focus on things we can do here in Oceanside, but certainly constitutional rights are important to every one of us,” Sanchez said.

With a unanimous vote of approval, Council directed staff to write and mail an opposition letter to Levin’s office.

Other neighbors have reported similar concerns to city officials, such as parkgoers urinating in driveways and bushes and bullying in the area surrounding Olympus Park.

“They’ve come in here with no respect to anyone around them. I’ve heard cursing, I know there are some issues,” said Brandi Pullman, a neighborhood resident. “It’s just a bummer to see these kids act this way. Where are the morals and the values?”

Opened on May 2, the Encinitas City Council was enthusiastic to open what it had labeled a passive-use park.

T he C oast News Passive-use parks are self-managed, designed for a smaller population, and typically lack features such as designated parking and public restrooms.

“The top portion of the park is for more passive use and the bottom area is for more active use,” said Pat Piatt, a city spokesperson. “The park followed the preferred design concept that was approved.

“The park is new and attracting many visitors at this time. The city will continue to monitor the use of the park. At this time, the city is not considering any changes to the skate element.”

signed as a passive neighborhood park,” said Stockholm. “And they told us in the city meetings that they're purposely not putting bathrooms because of the passiveness. They don’t expect anyone to stay long enough to need a restroom.

“Well, if that was the case, this past Sunday I wouldn't have caught two people in my yard — one woman squatting and another man I caught before he started peeing.”

Since opening, the park has employed a security guard seven days a week in an effort to maintain safety, according to Piatt.

On May 21, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department began parking enforcement around con-

gested fire lanes on Olympus Street in response to several residents’ complaints.

The enforcement will remain in place until August 21.

Following the restrictive new signage, visitors have taken to parking along Piraeus Street, leaving a dangerous blind spot for cars on Olympus turning south onto Piraeus.

“There wasn’t anticipation that this would be a problem when this was built,” San Diego Sheriff’s Lt. Matt Blumenthal told The Coast News. “The worst part of it was that the city built a really nice park. I think because of that, as well as just things like the e-bikes, it becomes a congregational area for people to hang out.”

Escondido City Council votes against cannabis legalization

By Tigist Layne

ESCONDIDO — After a lengthy discussion on cannabis legalization, the Escondido City Council on May 19 directed staff not to take action toward legalizing cannabis use in the city.

Wednesday’s discussion on potentially legalizing cannabis in the City of Escondido did not require a vote, but the council did decide 3-2 to not pursue cannabis legalization and to maintain the existing prohibition of cannabis production and sales.

Councilmembers Mike Morasco, Tina Inscoe and Joe Garcia voted against pursuing cannabis legalization, with Councilwoman Consuelo Martinez and Mayor Paul McNamara voting in favor.

The issue was first on the council agenda on March 24, as well as a resolution to accept up to $75,000 in Cannabis Equity Act Grant funding. The council, however, voted 3-2 to postpone the discussion to a later date.

This discussion came one week after the deadline for the grant funds.

At its March 24 meeting, the council received 131 public comments on the issue, with 110 voicing support of legalization and 21 opposed. These were not read aloud at that meeting because the discussion was postponed.

At Wednesday’s meeting, the council heard 18 public comments, the majority of them against legalizing cannabis.

McNamara decided not to have the previous 131 comments read aloud, explaining that it wouldn’t be an efficient use of time.

Martinez expressed her disappointment that the previous comments would not be read aloud and that the meeting was scheduled one week after the grant deadline, which she claimed was “done intentionally.”

Martinez also brought up the concern that several organizations have already indicated that they would put the issue on the ballot if the council doesn’t address

it soon.

“There will be dispensaries in Escondido… more than half of the voters support legalizing cannabis,” Martinez said. “I see this as something that’s going to happen in our city and I would much rather get ahead of it and us have control of where these dispensaries would go… and who is going to make these decisions.”

City staff also highlighted this concern in the staff report.

“Cannabis regulations adopted by voter initiative leave a city with little control over the form of regulation, and yet the city still bears responsibility for administering the same regulations. Moreover, regulations left to adoption by initiative offer no guarantee of a funding mechanism to cover the costs of administration,” the staff report said.

This is what occurred in the City of Vista in 2018.

Morasco said that if the issue were to go to a ballot, he believes Escondido residents would vote against it.

“I don’t care about tax dollars from cannabis… just like I don’t care if we get one single tax dollar from prostitution or from gambling or anything else,” Morasco said. “If something were to come up… I have the faith that the citizens of Escondido would have the strength and the ability… to keep Escondido the city of choice for families, youth and everything else except for cannabis.”

The Escondido council currently has a conservative majority with Republicans Morasco, Inscoe and Garcia holding the majority of the seats.

Despite the council officially being a nonpartisan office, members’ political leanings and philosophies tend to play a part in the council’s agendas and voting patterns.

In 2018, the council unanimously voted to prohibit the sale and cultivation of cannabis in the city.

But that was a different council than the one that is seated now.

Sports Loyal opens season with 0-4 road trip

By City News Service

REGION — San Diego Loyal SC concluded their season-opening four-game road trip May 22 with their fourth loss, allowing goals late in each half in a 2-1 loss to Louisville City FC in Louisville, Kentucky.

Louisville City FC was awarded a penalty kick one minute into stoppage time in the first half when referee Ismir Pekmic ruled that midfielder Jack Blake had fouled Napo Matsoso in the penalty area.

Goalkeeper Trey Muse made a diving stop of Cameron Lancaster's penalty kick but the ball went right back to Lancaster who put a left-footed shot from the center of the penalty area into the net.

Louisville City FC (2-0-1) increased its lead to 2-0 in the 88th minute when Kyle Greig headed a volley in the penalty area, made a half turn and was able to push the ball past Muse with his leg while facing away from the goal.

SD Loyal coach Landon Donovan was ejected shortly after the goal for failing to return to the coaches box.

SD Loyal avoided its second shutout in three games when Blake put a right-footed shot from outside the penalty area into the top right corner of the net for his first goal of the season.

SD Loyal will play its home opener Saturday against Las Vegas Lights FC at Torero Stadium.

Sockers break ground on new O’side arena

By Bill Slane

OCEANSIDE — The San Diego Sockers are finally getting their forever home.

Coming off their Major Arena Soccer League record fifth league championship in April, the club broke ground last week on what will eventually become its new state-of-the-art 6,000seat arena that will also play host to myriad other concerts and events in the city of Oceanside.

“The Sockers have always been winners,” said Craig Elsten, the chief marketing officer of the club.

“The Sockers have also always been renters. And as a representative of the club I can tell you that we’ve always struggled.”

When the Sockers played their first season in 2009 the club played out of the 3,500-seat Del Mar Arena at the Del Mar Fairgrounds before moving to the Pechanga Arena San Diego in 2012.

The placeholder name of the arena is currently Califino Arena, named after the tequila business venture of the team’s owners and its head coach Phil Salvagio, but naming rights are expected to be sold at a later date.

The arena will be located in the El Corazon area of Oceanside near the SoCal Sports Complex which is already home to 20 soccer fields and plays host to numerous youth soccer events.

The goal is to have the

Sockers’ arena fully open and operational for the 2023 season opener.

The arena is being built completely with private funds and no taxpayer dollars, according to the Sockers.

“The patch of ground behind us just looks like dirt and weeds right now but it’s about to undergo a conversion and we truly believe that will help lead to a conversion for this region as well,” Elsten said.

Kraig Chiles, a San Diego native who has been with the Sockers since their first season in the MASL in 2009, is excited to use the excitement of a new stadium to build an even brighter future for the club.

“We’re building on the

momentum of the championship and it looks like we’re creating what’s going to be our forever home for the long-term future which is rad,” Chiles said.

The team has struggled in the past in getting optimal dates for its games due to scheduling conflicts having to share the Pechanga arena with several other tenants. The club hopes that having their own space will allow them to give more opportunities for fans to come and cheer them on in the future.

“This gives a lot more flexibility in terms of practicing in the arena and opportunities to get the best dates available which will significantly help attendance and help the orga-

nization financially and in turn help keep the organization around for many, many years from here,” Chiles said.

Also in attendance at the ceremonial groundbreaking this week were members of the Oceanside city council including Mayor Esther Sanchez who welcomed the Sockers to the city and expressed what she thinks will be great excitement from locals.

“I just heard the dream of the Sockers was to find a home; well you have found one here in Oceanside,” Sanchez said. “You will find that our community is a big, big supporter of soccer. You will find that a lot of kids are going to want to shake your hand.”

It was a tight finish for both the boys and girls championship at Coral Mountain.

Three boys were tied for the lead going into the final hole (Verwers, Griffin Rhoads and Logan Kim).

However, recent TTC winner Verwers nearly holed a chip for eagle on the final hole that led to a tap-in birdie taking the clubhouse lead at 6-under.

Kim and Rhoads, both

at 5-under, had chances at birdie to force a playoff but just narrowly missed the cup, paving the way for Verwers’ second victory in as many starts.

Sugimoto’s switch from VUSD agrees to seek equity in girls’ sports baseball to golf pays off

By City News Service

sports talk jay paris

T

he catch was Steve Sugimoto’s time was up for handling pitches.

So he became a switch-hitter, ditching his baseball bat for golf clubs.

He turned to scoring aces instead of working with them.

The change came when Sugimoto was a Rancho Bernardo High sophomore. Now the San Diego State senior is bound for the NCAA Championship, running through Tuesday at the Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The Aztecs advanced to golf’s version of the Big Dance and that means Sugimoto’s smile can finally go toe-to-toe with his father, Masao.

“My dad lit up when I told him I was going to return to golf,” Sugimoto said.

“I had played a lot of baseball growing up, so I was a late bloomer and took a different path to get here.”

Sugimoto, whose brother, Eric, plays professionally in Japan, was a rare catcher who could read greens and depth charts. He eyed the stacked and tradition-rich Rancho Bernardo baseball program and decided he would rather tee off than be teed off about not playing.

“It’s a powerhouse with teams that look like college teams out there,” said Sugimoto, who has three top-20 finishes this season.

“They have draft picks every year coming off their teams. Baseball was fun, but I just saw my window closing.”

When it slammed shut, the door opened to golf for someone who’s not a long driver but has the drive few can match.

“Steve is just a die-hard San Diego State guy, someone who really wanted to be here,” Aztecs golf coach Ryan Donovan said. “He’s just a great team guy.”

Waving pom-poms for the red-and-black is dandy. Donovan wondered if Sugimoto’s enthusiasm matched his game.

“We didn’t know what he was going to do in college,” Donovan said.

Luckily, Sugimoto did.

He was determined to make the team, go low and keep his colleagues up.

“He’s just a super nice guy,” SDSU golfer Youssef Guezzale said. “He is all about team chemistry, all the time.”

It’s a 24/7 bonding experience for four of the Aztecs’ top five golfers, Sugimoto and Guezzale included. They share a place near campus, a true foursome on and off the course.

“The chemistry with this group is off the charts,” Donovan said. “With four of them living together they kept everyone accountable and they pushed each other.

During COVID, they didn’t have anything else to do but go practice and they did.”

Sugimoto is half of the tandem with Rancho Bernardo roots taking aim for the No. 25-ranked Aztecs.

Zihao Jin played three years with Sugimoto as a Bronco before heading to SDSU, too.

“He was already on the RB golf team when we met and he was the best player,” Sugimoto said. “So I had a lot of work to do.”

The trick was earning an athletic scholarship to a D-I college.

The treat was the SUGIMOTO pair of products coached

by Richard Deem at Rancho Bernardo landed at SDSU. “Isn’t that super cool?”

Donovan said. “It’s crazy.”

Some thought Sugimoto was nuts to pivot to golf.

But he stuck to his conviction and now he’s playing on college golf’s biggest stage with a savvy game that is built around precision and course management instead of brawn.

Off the tee, the 5-foot-5 Sugimoto, an All-Mountain West selection, is usually behind his competitors. But when plucking the ball from the hole, Sugimoto’s scores are often better.

“I might be out of position or way far back, but I can still hit it closer than my opponent and make them feel a little uneasy,” Sugimoto said. “You might have it 50 yards past me, but I still make birdie and that’s fun in my head.”

Lo and behold, there’s that Sugimoto smile again.

It’s the one that runs in the family.

VISTA — The Vista Unified School District has reached an agreement to upgrade and improve its athletic facilities and resources for female student-athletes, resolving a Title IX dispute regarding gender equity at district campuses, it was announced May 25.

The agreement with the California Women’s Law Center and Legal Aid at Work’s Fair Play for Girls in Sports project includes adding more athletic opportunities for girls, building upgraded softball dugouts, bullpens and a scoreboard, and replacing bleachers, among other changes.

Construction on a new softball field has been completed at Rancho Buena Vista High School and completion of Vista High School’s new softball field is weeks away.

VUSD will also conduct ongoing Title IX training for all district administrators and coaches “to make sure that gender equity is a common language and a continued commitment at all its high schools, supporting a systemic shift toward equity for girls,” according to a joint statement released by the California Women’s Law Center and Legal Aid at Work.

The school district was initially contacted “on behalf of their clients regarding the inferior facilities, equipment, and treatment softball players were provided compared to many of the boys’ programs,” according to the statement.

Amy Poyer, senior staff attorney at CWLC and Title IX co-counsel, said, “We are pleased that Vista Unified has agreed to take the steps needed to ensure girls have the same opportunities, treatment and benefits as boys. This resolution shows that even in challenging times, during a pandemic, schools can and must prioritize providing an equitable educational environment for female and male students alike.”

The changes VUSD instituted will make the district “a leader in sports equity among CIF San Diego Section schools,” which according to the organizations must add a total of 47 participation activities for girls in order to comply with Title IX, the federal law that requires all schools receiving any amount of federal financial assistance to maintain gender equity in their athletic programs.

“Vista Unified is committed to implementing our

value of equity throughout the district,” said VUSD Superintendent Matthew Doyle. “Athletics is a key aspect of our instructional program, and we are working diligently to ensure that female athletes have the support and resources they need to reach their full potential. Our two new multimillion-dollar softball fields at Rancho Buena Vista High and Vista High are a testament to our commitment to equity for our female athletes.”

Kim Turner, director of legal aid at the Work’s Fair Play for Girls in Sports project at LAAW, and Title IX co-counsel, said, “Having equal opportunities to play sports is so important for girls, starting at a young age and continuing throughout their life. Girls who play sports get higher grades, have better physical and mental health, and make higher wages as adults. 95% of female executives of Fortune 500 companies played sports growing up.”

Commission supports recreational marijuana in Encinitas

By Bill Slane

ENCINITAS — Months after voters passed Measure H, which called for the zoning and regulation of marijuana retail, cultivation, manufacturing and distribution in Encinitas, the city’s Planning Commission has now recommended the council make needed changes to bring recreational marijuana to the city.

The measure passed in the city last November’s election with just over 51% of the vote.

The Encinitas City Council will hear the amendments for the first time at a later meeting before considering them for adoption after a second reading. The proposed amendments will then be sent to the California Coastal Commission for approval.

MEASURE H amendments require marijuana retail or manufacturing sites to be at least 1,000 feet from schools or day care centers. File photo

The amendments will not become effective and the city will not begin accepting permit applications until after they are approved by the Coastal Commission.

Measure H also stipulates that no changes can be made to the related ordi-

nances by the City Council for three years without a public vote.

The Planning Commission did not have much power to make changes to the amendments that were voted on by the voters, but they did make several separate recommendations to

the City Council such as implementing a public outreach effort.

“Most important would be the odor management ordinance which we desperately need,” Commissioner Kevin Doyle said. “Every municipality that’s started dealing with commercial agricultural growing of marijuana has run into this issue and I don’t want us to get bitten by it.”

The commission also recommended the creation of a map showing where in the city the different uses of marijuana will be and won’t be allowed.

“Can we show the public, and quite frankly I’d like to see it someday too, how much of the city is open to (marijuana) retail,” Chair Bruce Ehlers said.

“But I think that’s part of the public outreach as well.”

Commissioner Steve Dalton, noting how little power the commission has over changing the measure, said it was important for the commission to recommend to the council the importance of balancing the information that will be presented to the public.

“I think there is maybe where we have an opportunity to put some information out about this but we don’t really have the opportunity to fine-tune the ordinance itself or change any aspect of the ordinance,” Dalton said.

Under the amendments, marijuana retail or manufacturing sites would be required to be at least 1000 feet from places such as schools or daycare centers. But there was still much concern during public comment about keeping marijuana away from chil-

dren.

“This is a business that needs to attract new customers and the best new customers, that we know from the predatory businesses of alcohol and tobacco and now marijuana, are young people,” said Judith Strang, the executive director of the San Dieguito Alliance for Drug Free Youth.

“So I’m suggesting to you a really clear view of what’s in the municipal code and make those changes that would be necessary to better protect our young people.”

This recommendation was first expected at a planning commission on April 1 that was canceled. It was later placed on the agenda for the May 6 meeting but was continued to the meeting this week due to an agenda full of higher priority items for the commission.

O’side wins mayor’s H2O challenge

By City News Service

OCEANSIDE — The city of Oceanside placed first in the 2021 Wyland National Mayor's Challenge for Water Conservation, it was announced May 26.

The annual competition was held during Earth Month to bring awareness to the importance of using water efficiently, especially as California moves into its second consecutive dry year.

Mayors nationwide participated in the competition by challenging their residents to pledge to conserve water, reduce carbon emissions, reduce waste, and take other sustainable actions on behalf of their communities.

“The Oceanside community has always been a leader when it comes to sustainability, and I am honored to be the mayor of the most water-wise city in the nation,” Mayor Esther Sanchez said. “Oceanside has proven that our residents know how to protect the environment, improve water efficiency, reduce waste, and continue to implement actions that will create a better future.”

Organizations including MainStreet Oceanside, the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce, Visit Oceanside, ProduceGood, local schools, the North County Lifeline after-school program, numerous Oceanside-based Girl Scout troops and individual residents and businesses took action throughout April to score the win.

In total, Oceanside collectively saved 32,945 gallons of water, 137 pounds of CO2, and collected over 10,000 pounds of debris from entering our waterways, according to the city officials.

A perfect post-COVID getaway, conveniently located hit the road e’louise ondash

I

hope I don’t jinx things by saying that it appears that we are coming out of this pandemic. Lots of people are more than ready to head for destinations that provide a change of scene, allow for social distancing and aren’t further than a half-day’s drive.

The towns in the Santa Ynez Valley in Santa Barbara County check all those boxes. Solvang, Ballard, Buellton, Los Alamos, Los Olivos and Santa Ynez are nestled between the Santa Ynez Mountains to the south and the San Rafael Mountains to the north — unique because these mountain ranges run eastwest, unlike most ranges that run north-south. This makes for ideal grape-growing and hence the reason the valley is popular with anyone who enjoys wine.

However, this wine region flew beneath the radar until the 2004 film “Sideways” hit the theaters.

The story revolves around a pre-wedding, bachelor-buddy road trip. Nearly the entire film was shot in this region, showcasing the

THE VINLAND HOTEL and Lounge is the gateway to Solvang’s vibrant downtown. It’s a couple minutes’ walk to restaurants, the Elverhoj museum, boutiques, galleries and bakeries where visitors get a taste of Denmark in the Santa Ynez Valley.

charming countryside and family-owned restaurants and wineries.

Fifteen years later, it’s good to discover that the film’s popularity did not spoil all that the valley has to offer. Its towns and 60 wineries are still lowkey, scenic, welcoming and

beautiful.

If you go: Stay: Vinland Hotel and Lounge is located just as you enter Solvang from the west and only a few minutes’ walk to the heart of the activity. Updated rooms are spacious and reasonably priced. Top suites

come with a partnership with three nearby wineries, offering guests exclusive perks and experiences with the vineyards. The V Lounge opens to a patio and offers savory tapas. Notto-miss: shrimp and quinoa lettuce wraps and the spanakopita. The lounge

offers reduced-price happy hour drinks and even specialty cocktails.

Breakfast: Solvang Restaurant is the place to find aebleskivers, the traditional Danish sweet treat that looks like an oversized doughnut hole and is cooked in a special

pan. It’s served with powdered sugar, jam, syrup or a combination of the three.

Owner Jeff Paaske promises fresh aebleskivers all day because the restaurant has a dedicated, full-time aebleskiver-maker.

The menu features generous breakfasts and traditional Danish foods. Bonus: The restaurant’s authentic, colorful, intricate woodwork created by Danish artist Ferd Sorensen, considered the father of Solvang’s architecture.

Lunch: Industrial Eats in Buellton prides itself in creating tasty, seasonal dishes from locally sourced sustainable farms. Sit out under the trees or at communal tables at the repurposed warehouse and enjoy pizza from wood-fired ovens or other menu items that offer plenty for both meat-lovers and vegetarians. Herbs and spices are used liberally and the menu makes for interesting reading.

Dinner: Trattoria Grappolo in Santa Ynez is everything you want in a traditional Italian restaurant and more. You’ll see plenty of local patrons, so you know the fare is worthy.

The menu also offers gluten-free and vegan choices. Especially tempting: Melanzane alla Parmigiana (eggplant, tomato and parmesan cheese) and Faroe Island salmon cooked in TURN TO HIT THE ROAD ON A15

Encinitas agrees to debt financing, three roundabouts

By Bill Slane

ENCINITAS — The Encinitas City Council this week agreed to pursue further debt financing for the completion of the Leucadia Streetscape project as well as agree to the construction of three roundabouts as part of the plan.

It is just the next step in a project that has been worked on for several years by the city.

“Streetscape is the biggest project the city has ever undertaken and we’re making tremendous strides,” Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz said. “I just

want to be sure that if we’re going to do debt financing that we have those very important traffic calming measures.”

The City Council was given two alternatives for the segment of Leucadia, with one offering the construction of two roundabouts. The option chosen unanimously by the council consisted of building three roundabouts at Jupiter Street, Grandview Street and Bishop’s Gate Road.

There was some confusion in terms of the placement of bike lanes along the Coast Highway 101 corridor

as every member believed that there would be bike lanes along the full length of the project in both directions. It turns out that is not currently in the plans.

“There will be accommodations for bikes throughout the entire length,” Jill Bankston, acting city engineer said. “But we’re not bringing the entire corridor down to one lane and there isn’t enough width to have two lanes of traffic and a buffered bike lane through the entire corridor.”

Several of the public comments were about bike

lanes in Streetscape, expressing disappointment that the plan presented didn’t include them for the length of the corridor.

“It sounds like that whole section is going to be ignored,” Encinitas resident June Honsberger said.

“It sounded like the side of 101 next to the train tracks wasn’t going to have any improvement so I would appreciate some clarification on that because if that’s the case I am going to be very disappointed that we, once again, aren’t going to see any improvement.”

According to city staff,

if the council requested to remove some of the parking from the Streetscape plan to create more room to accommodate bike lanes in both directions, it could lead to issues with approval from the California Coastal Commission.

“I really want to be clear that we’re not directing or asking this project get derailed over this,” Mayor Catherine Blakespear said. “I know that’s the kind of thing that can make it not actually acceptable to the coastal commission and then we get into a multi-year process of nego-

Former dean at CSUSM under criminal investigation over expenses

By Tigist Layne

SAN MARCOS — A former dean at California State University at San Marcos (CSUSM) is being investigated by the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office for allegedly spending tens of thousands of dollars on improper travel expenditures.

Michael Schroder, who was the dean of extended studies until February 2020, was dismissed by the university after the Union-Tribune reported at least $41,000 in unallowable expenses.

Caltrans, SANDAG pedestrian improvements at Manchester Avenue The Caltrans and SANDAG North Coast Corridor (NCC) project continues to make exciting progress in the cities of Encinitas and Carlsbad.

From the addition of Carpool/High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes on Interstate 5 (I-5) to new bike and pedestrian trails, and the restoration of the San Elijo Lagoon, crews are working diligently to deliver important quality of life projects throughout this corridor.

Part of the work includes environmental and community enhancements to the I-5/Manchester Avenue interchange in Encinitas. If you’ve driven by recently, you’ve likely seen crews working on a series of new bike and pedestrian improvements.

In February of this year, crews began preparing the location between the I-5/Manchester Avenue interchange and the San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center to install underground utilities by removing trees, shrubs, and other vegetation along the southerly side of Manchester Avenue.

Shortly after, in March, crews began demolition and excavation along the northerly side of Manchester Avenue between Ocean Cove Drive and MacKinnon Ranch Road to fill an existing sidewalk gap in the local

network. After pouring concrete and restriping pavement, the new sidewalk was completed at the end of April, further enhancing east-west connectivity and coastal access.

Crews have now shifted their focus back to the southern side of Manchester Avenue, beginning demolition and excavation.

Once complete, there will be new Class II bike lanes and a new decomposed granite walking path on the southerly side of Manchester Avenue between the I-5 interchange and the San Elijo Lagoon Nature Cen-

ter. All work along Manchester Avenue is expected to be completed by early fall 2021.

tiations.”

City staff said they would go back to look at designs in the hopes of finding a way to accommodate the bike lanes, which are of great interest to the public. Staff said they would return to the council with their findings in one week’s time.

“I just want to assure that the team will get right on it,” Development Services Director Lillian Doherty said. “We’ll make sure this is a top priority to get a response. At the minimum, I think we can get an answer to the feasibility.”

phase of construction is in the cities of Solana Beach, Encinitas, and Carlsbad as part of the North Coast Corridor Program. Build NCC includes extending the existing carpool lane on I-5 in each direction from Lomas Santa Fe Drive to State Route 78, double tracking the rail line and replacing the highway and rail bridges at the San Elijo Lagoon, restoring the San Elijo Lagoon, and constructing nearly seven miles of new bike and pedestrian trails.

Construction on Build NCC began in early 2017 and will be complete by 2022.

SCHRODER

asked to make restitution for these expenses. Margaret Chantung, the school’s chief communications officer, said she could not disclose how much restitution is being sought or any further information provided to the District Attorney’s Office related to Schroder due to the ongoing criminal investigation.

A spokesperson for District Attorney Summer Stephan said they do not comment on ongoing investigations.

According to the 2019 formal audit conducted by the CSU Chancellor’s Office into expenses incurred

by Schroder between July 2017 and June 2019, these expenses included a Guns N’ Roses concert and an NFL game that he billed as official college business.

“We found that the dean submitted fraudulent hospitality claims in at least 33 instances for the period from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2019. Attendees the dean listed on many of his hospitality meal claims

stated they were not at the meal. Further, the dean engaged in excessive spending by frequently staying at hotels that exceeded the allowable California State University hotel maximum and claiming reimbursement for business-class airfare with either inadequate or no justification,” the audit said.

Schroder sought and received reimbursement for 182 hospitality expenditures totaling $36,675, according to the audit report.

“When we questioned the dean about his trips and the related reimbursement claims, he repeatedly responded to our questions by saying that he could not recall or did not remember pertinent pieces of information,” the report said.

For two years, the dean’s fraudulent travel and hospitality claims were reviewed and approved by his supervisors, the provost for academic affairs and vice provost.

However, both said in 2019 that they did not review the dean’s claims very carefully, as they trusted others to do so.

According to the university, Schroder is the only current or former CSUSM official under criminal investigation by local prosecutors. Schroder is also the first administrator in the university’s 32-year history who has been subjected to a restitution demand.

Schroder could not be reached for comment.

A vegetarian sausage is also available. All of this served up from a vintage Airstream trailer on the property, adjacent to the Sideways Inn, featured in

the 2004 film.

See and do: Santa Ynez Valley Botanic Garden, in Buellton’s RiverView Park, is a 2.5-acre natural retreat that offers both shady serenity and a place for kids to play and learn about the local environment — the Santa Ynez River watershed. The butterfly garden, willow maze, play elements, artwork, good signage and covered picnic tables will keep everyone’s attention.

SDUHSD ratifies Lynch contract

By Bill Slane

MORE THAN 60 friends, family, co-workers and hospital workers celebrated Peter Ligotti, right, on May 20 at Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside. Ligotti suffered a traumatic brain injury after a mountain bike accident. His Callaway Golf co-workers organized a “Bike to Peter” event. Photo by Steve Puterski

BIKE FOR PETER CONTINUED FROM A1

man for Callaway.

Ligotti, who’s been with the company for more than 20 years, has been active for most of his life, according to CAF co-founder Bob Babbitt.

Ligotti played golf with Tiger Woods at Stanford and since his college days has been an avid mountain biker and surfer, to name a few, Babbitt said.

Ligotti’s competitive drive, though, is why Babbitt said he believes Ligot-

ti will be able to overcome his injuries.

“You name it, the guy does it,” Babbitt said.

“What happened to Peter … we see that with our athletes. It’s community and sports that bring them back. At this point, it’s community and eventually, it’ll be sports.”

At work, Ligotti brings a stable and positive presence to the office, Norton said. While news of Ligotti’s injury hit the office hard, support from friends and co-workers has kept up his spirits, Ligotti

said.

During his time in the hospital, visits from co-workers and friends are what kept him going, Ligotti said. And the support system, Emily Ligotti said, has made a difficult situation a little bit more manageable.

“We just wanted to continue that tradition,” Norton said. “Of course, we were thinking about him when he got hurt … and offering support. We just wanted to show we’re thinking about him and the work he does here.”

ENCINITAS — The San Dieguito Union High School District has agreed to ratify the temporary employment contract of Interim Superintendent Lucile Lynch as it also begins its search for a more permanent superintendent.

Lynch has made it known she fully expects to only be in the position for a limited time and does not have interest in a per ma nent position.

T h e c o n t r a c t , LYNCH signed by Lynch and Board President Maureen Muir and ratified by a vote of 4-1, will pay Lynch $1,100 per day worked but entitles her to no health and welfare benefits. Trustee Katrina Young cast the lone no vote.

In explaining her vote against the ratification, Young said that while she has known Lynch for some time as a member of the SDUHSD community, she felt it was more important to stand with her original objectives and hopes for an interim superintendent.

“I admire all the work that you’ve done and I also admire how well we’ve worked together,” Young said. “But if I have to stay true to my original intent of what I wanted for

a superintendent and the intents of the Education Code, I’m going to vote no.

But I want you to know it’s in my role as a trustee and not my personal role.”

Normally a requirement for the position under the Education Code is a teaching or administrative credential but the requirement was waived in Lynch’s case who does not hold any type of credential.

As part of that waiver, Lynch has been given and will continue to receive the proper training and education from the district.

“Everyone’s been terrific. I mean everyone has made themselves readily available,” Lynch said.

“I really am thankful for their expertise.”

Maybe the biggest issue that plagued the previous superintendent was their lacking communication ability that some in the district saw as a source of conflict that has been brewing for well over a year inside the district.

District parent Heather Dugdale spoke to that issue during the public comments.

“We have a huge social media and media problem in this district and it needs to be addressed appropriately and professionally and that has not been done,” Dugdale said. “By her own admission, Ms. Lynch is here for a short

time and she’s here to listen and try to bridge communication gaps. We’ve seen that since her tenure began.”

It is a very tumultuous time for the San Dieguito district, with possibly two separate out-of-cycle elections for trustee seats on the horizon, plans to make for the coming semester with the still ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, upcoming labor negotiations with the teacher’s association, a search for a permanent superintendent and much more on the table.

With that, Muir attempted to ease some possible anxiety district parents may be feeling by showing her confidence in Lynch as an interim district leader.

“I want the parents to know and our community to know that we have chosen someone that is going to be respectful, respectful of our employees,” Muir said. “We’ve had a bad year but we are definitely coming out of it and we’ve chosen someone that is going to take us there.”

The board also voted in a unanimous vote to move forward with a superintendent search in which the board will review all Requests for Proposals from search firms before coming to a decision on the firm that will aid the district in its nationwide search for a permanent superintendent.

Solana Beach school district advances equity, diversity policy

By Bill Slane

SOLANA BEACH — A new policy on diversity, equity and inclusion is being fast-tracked for approval by the Solana Beach Elementary School District after discussions following the first reading of the draft policy this week.

The district adopted a resolution last June affirming its commitment to fight against institutional racism.

Following that adoption, an Institutional Racism Advisory Group was formed involving staff, administrators, parents and community members. The draft policy is a result of multiple meetings of that group.

“We’ve had the impact of recent current events on all of us,” Superintendent Jodi Brentlinger said.

“Like the pandemic, which we have seen, there exists a variety of opinions and perspectives about the subject of diversity, equity and inclusion which further adds pressure to what and how schools should respond to that.”

Some of the key points of the draft policy include identifying and correcting cultural biases or institutional barriers and committing to making decisions with a “deliberate awareness of impediments to ensure equitable access and equal outcomes.”

Brentlinger has been a part of the advisory group discussions but made it clear the policy is a recommendation to the school board.

“It’s important to clarify that the board is the one who makes policy decisions and as the advisory group we are the ones that will make recommendations to the board,” Brentlinger said.

There was general support from both the public and the board itself for the proposed policy with Member Dana King pleased with how it could help the

District Attorney’s Office planned to argue that Rogowski “remains an unreasonable risk of danger to society” and should remain behind bars.

One of Bergsten’s family members was also expected to attend the hearing and provide a statement to the parole board outlining the murder’s impacts on the family.

“The family and friends of Jessica Bergsten deserve the continued promise of justice in this case,” San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan said. “Our office has a responsibility to argue strongly against releasing this violent defendant.

“We handle hundreds of parole hearings each year, doing our best when it’s appropriate to make sure dangerous criminals are not released and crime victims are given a voice.”

district turn words into actions.

“The appropriate messaging that is in our board policies talks about our belief in diversity, equity and inclusion,” King said.

“That’s talking the talk.

And what I think this policy is going to allow is for staff to really walk the walk.

“I think most of us feel there is an urgent need to make this world, and this

school district specifically, a better place.”

Member Julie Union, however, said she couldn’t support the policy as it was written in the draft presented to the school board.

“I’m concerned about the new equity-based California state math framework being discussed that would include the same math classes for students in grades K-10th grade, eliminating honors classes,”

Union said.

Union also has issues with the use of critical race theory in the forming of the policy.

“With a (critical race theory) lens, I’m concerned that some children will be indoctrinated into thinking people with white skin are inherently racist and all people of color are oppressed,” Union said.

The proposed next steps for the policy were

for the board to begin participating in diversity, equity and inclusion professional development sessions beginning in the fall as well as become involved in broader community engagement before the policy was brought back for a second reading in January of 2022.

However, it was decided instead that the board will come back at their June 17th meeting with

recommended changes for a second reading of the draft policy.

“I think it’s important for everyone to know we’re going to have to have a majority on it,” Board President Vicki King said.

“If we don’t have that then I like the idea of a third reading or proceeding with plans.

“We’ll all be able to make our positions known at the next meeting.”

Supervisor urges rental, mortgage help for military families

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — As the county gears up to use millions of federal dollars to address local impacts left by the COVID-19 pandemic, one supervisor is proposing to use a chunk of that money to help first responder and military families with rental and mortgage assistance.

On Tuesday, May 25, Supervisor Jim Desmond announced his proposal for a $40 million grant program, which would provide up to three months of past due rent or mortgage payments, with a maximum of $6,000 per household, for first responder and military families living in San Diego County.

The $40 million would come from the $300 million allocated to the county by the federal government for recovery efforts related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Each of the five supervisors submitted their plans on how that money should be spent in the county, making the $40 million grant program for first responder and military families one of Desmond’s proposed ways to spend the money.

Desmond acknowledged that while many San Diegans have been impacted by the pandemic, two groups that he believes have been forgotten throughout relief efforts are first responders and

military families.

“While husband or wife has been out there putting their lives on the line for us during this pandemic, many of the first responders and military families have lost their jobs, or have had to miss work while helping their kids with schoolwork,” Desmond said during a press confer-

ence Tuesday. “This has impacted their income and affected their ability to pay for rent or mortgage.”

Rena Rhine, a Navy veteran and wife of an active-duty sailor, was already feeling the effects of San Diego’s high cost of living when her family moved here in 2019.

As they adjusted to the

new cost of living, in less than a year they were hit with the pandemic.

Just as her family tried adjusting to the pandemic’s impacts, her husband was given short notice to deploy in response to the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt COVID-19 outbreak, leaving her alone to take care of their children.

“My already changing world dramatically shifted,” Rhine said.

Rhine and her family had to make hard financial decisions and would pick up free school lunches to keep her kids fed.

While taking care of her own family, Rhine was also supporting hundreds of other military families facing sudden and shortterm job loss, struggling with monthly bills and trying to keep food on their tables as well.

Fellow Navy veteran and spouse, Christina Bulow, also moved here in 2019.

Her family thought they were prepared for high costs after moving from Hawaii but quickly discovered the high cost of living in San Diego “was something different” for military families.

They quickly went through years of built-up savings and often contemplated selling more items to make it by.

Then just as they started to find their groove here, the pandemic hit right in the middle of a promising job search for Bulow, which froze her new job prospects and delayed her from getting a job for another year.

The pandemic also forced her son out of the coveted military childcare system, which added to the mounting struggles.

“I found myself at home

trying to do my job and be a mother at the same time,” Bulow said. “As much as my husband wanted to be there, he was essential and had to be at work doing what he needed to do.”

According to Rhine and Bulow, Desmond’s proposed $40 million grant program would help families like theirs make ends meet.

If the program doesn’t happen, they explained, their families would have to continue to make difficult decisions on where to find their children’s clothes and what bills they can pay each month.

The Board of Supervisors will vote on the prioritization of their proposed programs on June 8. Once those programs are decided, the county would then need to spend time setting up those prioritized programs.

Desmond wasn’t sure how long that process could take, but he hopes that everything would be ready to go within a month.

“Three hundred million is a lot of money,” Desmond said. “We have five different supervisors trying to spend it in different ways.”

Desmond is hopeful that the program he has proposed to help first responder and military families is non-controversial and non-partisan enough to be approved by the other supervisors next month.

Standoff ends Carlsbad’s preliminary budget estimates small surplus with suspect In total, the operating budget killing himself is estimated at $303.6 million

By City News Service

CAMP PENDLETON — A lengthy overnight police pursuit that began near Mission Valley and ended early this morning on Interstate 5 in San Onofre turned into a standoff that shut down the freeway for hours before the domestic violence suspect who had led the chase fatally shot himself inside his SUV. The events that prompted the cross-county pursuit began about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, when the San Diego Police Department received a call regarding an assault victim in the 3600 block of Central Avenue, SDPD Lt. Carmelin Rivera said.

When detectives contacted her, the 25-year-old woman told them her boyfriend had violently abused her over a two-day period, hitting her on the head with an ax, choking her, tying her up inside his apartment and sexually assaulting her.

“While she was being held captive, he told her that he was going to buy a gun and (that) if the police were called, he would kill her,” Rivera said.

When the alleged assailant left the apartment, the victim — who had suffered two broken ribs, swelling to her face and bruises all over her body — managed to escape and alerted neighbors, who called the police, Rivera said.

About five hours later, patrol officers spotted the suspect’s white BMW X5 on Interstate 15, near Interstate 8. When they tried to pull the man over, he refused to yield and continued heading north.

As police and California Highway Patrol officers pursued the 28-year- old suspect to the north and west, he ran over several spike strips officers had laid out in his path on Interstate 5, near Del Mar Heights Road and Carlsbad Village Drive.

Still, he would not pull over, Rivera said.

About 3:30 a.m., the SUV finally rolled to a stop on Interstate 5 near Cristianitos Road in the far northern reaches of San Diego County, its tires shredded.

The CHP shut down both sides of the freeway as the man hunkered down in his disabled vehicle, refusing to give himself up.

“Officers negotiated with him for about an hour and tried to convince him to surrender,” Rivera said.

“Despite the officers’ efforts, the suspect drove off again, crossed into San Clemente, and then (doubled) back southbound on I-5, near the Basilone Road exit.”

There, Orange County sheriff's deputies in SWAT vehicles were able to box in the suspect’s SUV. “At about 6:15 a.m., the suspect attempted to drive off again, but the armored vehicles stopped him,” Rivera said. “Before officers could get the man to surrender, he shot himself in the head.”

CARLSBAD — Despite a pandemic, the city is projecting a modest surplus, along with the formation of a new homeless department in its Fiscal Year 2021-22 preliminary operating budget.

Additionally, the Carlsbad City Council will also consider adding a diversity, equity and inclusion position, as lobbied

by Councilwoman Priya Bhat-Patel during the council’s May 18 meeting.

The city is also investing a significant amount of money into its information technology infrastructure to be more vigilant against potential cybersecurity threats.

In total, the operating budget is estimated at $303.6 million, with the General Fund operating budget projected at $184.2 million and revenues of

$178.8 million.

The council must approve the final budget before July 1.

“We focused on our attention in fashioning this budget based off the four priority goals and why we really married those funding sources to match those,” said City Manager Scott Chadwick.

According to Chadwick, this was one of the most difficult budgets to produce because of the challenges of the pandemic.

Chadwick said the city will no longer allow departments to roll over excess funds for the next year as those monies will be reallocated to the General Fund for the next fiscal year.

And due to the constraints, he said some projects will not get done this year.

Also, the council will consider staff’s recommendation to allocate $10 million to its pension debt liabilities for CalPERS, and transfer $3.5 million from the General Fund reserves to the infrastructure replacement fund.

Mayor Matt Hall, though, hesitated at the allocation for CalPERS, saying he wants a deeper look into the city’s obligations, noting the city has paid $50 million over the last several years.

City staff is also proposing hiring 31 new positions including three for homelessness, 15 firefighter, paramedics and emergency medical technicians and creating the Housing and Homeless Services Department, which includes at least three new positions, according to the staff report.

The operating budget is increasing 2.4% from FY 2019-20, much of it due to the economy rebounding from the COVID-19 pandemic and associated losses of revenues from all sec-

tors of the economy.

General Fund revenues are projected to increase by $6.1 million with the largest projection coming from Transient Occupancy Tax (hotels). The city estimates a 46.5% increase in TOT, 10.5% more in sales tax and 4.8% in business license taxes, according to the report.

Additionally, expenditures are expected to increase by 8.1% including by $20.6 million for General Fund expenditures.

But the $483,000 surplus is a result of one-time expenditures of $5.9 million associated with the City Council’s goals. Excluding those one-time costs, the operating budget provides a surplus, according to the staff report.

As for the IT upgrades, it’s part of the city’s Strategic Digital Transformation Investment Program, which was designed in 2019 and led by Maria Callander, director of IT. Over the next five years, the city will invest $26.9 million, although

$11.5 million has already been appropriated and the FY 2021-22 budget calls for an additional $2.8 million.

This year’s projects include pursuing up-todate security, hardware, software, data analytics, problem-solving and helping meet environmental, mobility and sustainability goals.

“One project that is essential to the city’s digital transformation is the consolidation and replacement of our core systems,” Callander said. “The city is investigating ways to consolidate these number of systems to as few as possible.”

Laura Rocha, deputy city manager, updated the council on unemployment, real estate and the workforce and how those tie into the budget.

Rocha said unemployment is at 5.6% in Carlsbad and 6.9% in San Diego County, while commercial real estate vacancy rates are 9.3% for industrial, 14.7% for office and 8.6% for retail.

Local water districts get piece of $44.3M settlement refund

By Steve Puterski

REGION — A settlement between the San Diego County Water Authority and Metropolitan Water District is delivering a windfall of refunds to local water districts.

The SDCWA filed suits between 2010 and 2018 challenging how Los Angeles-based MWD set rates and imposed charges. SDCWA won several “critical issues” from 2011-14 and was awarded $44.3 million by a state court in January to refund rates and repay overcharges, according to a press release.

SDCWA is also entitled to attorney’s fees and costs for those cases, although the exact amount is to be determined.

The money has been reallocated to its member agencies, with most securing more than $1 million in refunded money.

“This day has been a long time coming,” Water Authority Board Chair Gary Croucher said in a press release. “We never wanted to litigate these issues – but if we had not had the courage to do so, MWD would still be collecting the illegal fees and we would not have money to give back to local retail water agencies across the region.”

The court found MWD illegally charged SDCWA for water stewardship charges and breached its contract

by setting illegal rates for transporting SDCWA’s independent water supplies. Additionally, the court ruled MWD can’t disqualify local water supply projects from receiving funding and SDCWA is entitled to an extra 100,000-acre feet of MWD water per year.

The court determined that MWD unlawfully under-calculated the Water Authority’s statutory water right. As a result of the recalculation, the Water Authority’s preferential right to MWD water increased from 18.53% to 24.22% in

fiscal year 2018, according to the SDCWA release.

As for the member agencies, each refund is based on the amount of municipal and industrial water each agency purchased from 2011-14, according to a City of Carlsbad staff report.

The city received its one-time payment of nearly $1.7 million on March 4 and will apply those funds over a five-year period to offset rate increases. According to the staff report, 16 of the 24 members will use the refunded money to offset future cost increases.

Del Mar teen a finalist in design contest

By Staff

DEL MAR — A Del Mar teen’s design of a mobile COVID-19 vaccine and testing center was named a finalist in the 2021 National High School Design hosted by the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum.

Allison Casey, a student at La Jolla Country Day, was a top three finalist and youngest of the top 15 submissions from around the country.

Casey’s schoolmate A kaash CASEY Doshi received an honorable mention.

This year’s competition challenged high school students to craft a solution for the prompt, “What would you design to create a healthier world.”

Casey envisioned a mobile health center that visits low-income communities disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.

The portable health center would help eliminate barriers such as language, technology, information and technology, according to a release.

Casey later expanded the concept to provide flu shots or other vaccines in addition to multilingual medical information and free COVID testing.

“I like being creative and using science to come up with new ideas to change how the world views an issue,” Casey said a statement. “It has been one of my goals to come up with one of those ideas.”

CARLSBAD EDUCATIONAL Foundation’s annual Kids Care Summer Adventure program kicks off June 14 with more activities and a STEAM-based curriculum at Jefferson and Poinsettia elementary schools. Courtesy photo

Kids Care offers summer learning fun

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — Summer is drawing near and for some elementary students, it’s time for the Carlsbad Educational Foundation’s annual Kids Care Summer Adventure program.

This year, the program has been revamped to include activities with a greater emphasis on STEAM-based curriculum, along with reading and writing.

Kids Care Area Manager Jennifer Rodriguez said the program is packed with fun daily activities to avoid the appearance of traditional school and encourage student engagement.

The program, which will be held at Jefferson and Poinsettia elementary schools, is also aligned with the mission of the Carlsbad Unified School District, ac-

cording to Rodriguez.

Kids Care Summer Adventure begins June 14 and runs through Aug. 20 and is open to any elementary student regardless of their home district.

“Throughout the entire camp, our activities link to one or more of those elements,” Rodriguez said.

“That’s how we’re keeping the education inside the program. Half the time they won’t even know they’re learning, which keeps it exciting.”

Kids Care Summer Adventure is a 10-week program with a new theme every two weeks.

For example, Rodriguez said one of the projects will be for kids to build a solar-powered pizza, while another is learning how to write a script and then act it out.

Rachel Tamayo, di-

rector of after-school programs at Carlsbad Educational Foundation, said one goal is to provide seven to eight activities per day and integrate those into the foundation’s educational directives.

Additionally, the foundation was awarded an $18,000 grant from the Carlsbad Charitable Foundation for additional curriculum development, student materials, and staff training specifically designed to help kids catch up over the summer.

Tamayo said one of Carlsbad Educational Foundation’s priorities is to minimize learning loss over the summer, which is why the foundation is focusing on delivering a fun atmosphere.

“We’re making sure we’re focusing on minimizing the learning loss by fo-

cusing on reading, writing and math,” Tamayo said.

“They’re going to have fun while they’re learning.

Some of the biggest changes … is getting the staff more enthusiastic and helping hype up the students and daily challenges.”

Some of the themes include Wild Safari, which teaches kids about the animal kingdom; Waterpalooza, which educates campers about water and its ecosystem, and Big-Time Talent, which focuses on the performing arts, Rodriguez said.

The early-bird rate for the Kids Care Summer Adventure program is $199 per week by May 31 and $225 on or after June 1.

The program runs from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more, call (760) 929-1555 or visit www.carlsbaded.org.

Too quick to blame?

Am I? Let me just say that no car of ours has ever seen the inside of a garage.

Let me add that you cannot walk a straight line through my husband’s home office.

After decades of marriage, I have given up the fight. I might have held strong but I had children.

Now I’m basically outnumbered.

If you want my daughter’s eyes to absolutely shine, give her $3 and point her toward a garage sale.

My worst memory is when the garage sale was right across the street, and by the time we got over there, everything had been marked free for the taking.

Makin Island fleet returns sailors, Marines

State grant to spur San Diego region wildfire preparations

By City News Service

REGION — A newly issued $3.5 million state grant will help provide San Diego County residents assistance in safeguarding their homes from the threat of wildfire, officials announced May 20.

The funds, allocated through Senate Bill 85, will allow the Fire Safe Council of San Diego County, in partnership with the Resource Conservation District of Greater San Diego County, to help more property owners reduce wildfire risks within wildland-urban interface areas of the watersheds of the Otay River, San Diego River, Sweetwater River and Tijuana River.

The programs provide funding to implement fuel-reduction projects through the creation of fire breaks; removal of

dead, diseased or dying trees; assistance to elderly, disabled and low-income residents in establishing defensible space around their homes; and scheduling of workshops and firepreparedness training sessions.

San Diego County residents are invited to register for two free fuel-reduction programs: — No-Cost Chipping Program: curbside chipping for homeowners who have completed their defensible-space preparation.

— Defensible Space Assistance Program: a service to assist low-income elderly or disabled residents in creating defensible space around their homes.

Residents interested in further information about the services can contact the Fire Safe Council at 619-562-0096.

OCEANSIDE — More than 5,000 sailors and Marines of the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group arrived off the coast of Southern California on May 21 and will conclude a seven-month deployment to the U.S. 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th Fleet areas of operation.

Marines with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, embarked aboard the ships of the ready group will disembark at Camp Pendleton.

USS Makin Island, USS San Diego and USS Somerset will return to port at Naval Base San Diego following the offload. A contingent of USMC personnel will remain aboard the ships for the pier side arrival.

“I am so proud of the resilience and strength of character our sailors and Marines displayed while serving our nation across four different fleets,” said Capt. Henry Kim, Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group commander. “Despite the additional challenges of protecting a COVID-free bubble within the ARG, our Blue-Green Team determinedly exemplified the mottos of all three ships, ‘Gung Ho!’ ‘Stay Classy!’ and ‘Let’s Roll!’”

The group is comprised of the amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island and amphibious transport dock ships USS San Diego and USS Somerset.

It departed Nov.10, after completing a pre-deployment sequester and backto-back at-sea exercises in October.

Ahhh, another three-day weekend; time for a family BBQ or a quick get-away. But, while we’re all busy having fun, it is important to remember the true meaning of this holiday.

It is a day for remembering the men & women who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Formerly known as Decoration Day, this holiday originated after the American Civil War to honor soldiers from both sides. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service.

Many volunteers will place American flags in cemeteries to honor our fallen. Check with your local American Legion, VFW, or scout troop if you would like to participate in this special tribute.

Plan your weekend of fun but please be sure to take a moment to honor those who gave all for our freedom to enjoy this weekend.

Exploring Human Design to access the body’s consciousness soul

on fire susan sullivan

I

guess Covid is mostly over. I didn't get the memo, but I can see by the backed-up freeway these days that more people are out and about.

In thinking about going back out there, I wondered about how I show up these days when interacting with other humans in the world.

I did a lot of reflecting this year on my birthday, and I felt like there are so many new beginnings. That this is the starting point again of some great reset in my life.

So, as any good mystic will do from time to time, I had an astrological reading done, got my tarot cards done, and visited a palm reader.

This year I wanted to go deeper than all that, so I sought a reading and interpretation of my Human Design.

What is Human Design, you ask? Well, that's this week's column.

Your Human Design Chart, also called a BodyGraph, is calculated using your birth date, time, and place, to reveal your genetic design. On the most practical level, Human De-

My sweet, generally shy child started stuffing boxes like she hadn’t a toy to her name.

Within 10 minutes, you could no longer find my living room floor. You could find a slot-car set with no cars, several sheets of leftover tile, an old dish drainer, a dirty rug, a broken basket made of pine cones sprayed gold, a really swell plastic Halloween bowl, half a travel game, a red tulle dress that might actually add to our costume box

sign shows you where and how to access your body's consciousness as a decision-making tool, and ultimately, how to live as your true self.

Human Design was originated by Alan Robert Krakower, who published a book called The Human Design System under the pseudonym Ra Uru Hu in 1992. Krakower claimed that he developed the Human Design system following a mystical experience in 1987.

There are five types in the Human Design reference - Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors.

The four types are defined by three categories: the strategy, or how you make decisions, how the aura functions and affects others, and your signature, which indicates where your life is moving.

Our Human Design is meant to be lived, and the power in understanding our design comes from taking action based on what we discover.

Sometimes that action is shedding conditioning we’ve taken on throughout the years about who others think we should be and how others think we should walk through the world.

Sometimes that action is leaning deeper into what

and a miniature spa that squirted water all over.

There was more, but those are the highlights.

When asked to pick up her newly acquired pile of stuff and find a place to put it all, she turned to me without the smallest twinge of conscience and said, “But there’s no room left in my bedroom.”

The space in the playroom attic and beneath her bed is filled with brimming Rubbermaid containers.

Her closet floor is covered with plastic baskets, also brimming with every cheap party favor ever given her, every comic book, 100 dried-up marker pens, oneeyed stuffed animals and

assorted game pieces.

I have quit hoping to win the lottery. I just want the “Antiques Roadshow” to roll through town. Something in that tacky pile must be worth something.

But I know, with the words “No, don’t throw that out!” ringing in my ears, the item that would have caught us a spot on that show and an appraisal in the thousands was that one absolutely hideous, useless thing I gave to the thrift shop, just last week.

we already feel to be authentic, natural, and true.

Human Design is an amalgamation of both ancient systems and modern science. It combines astrology and astronomy, the I Ching and biochemistry, Kabbalah and quantum mechanics, the chakra systems, and genetics.

Human Design is not a religion, having no rituals nor taking any stance on god. It is similar to a personality inventory system to assist one with a deeper understanding of how they best operate in the world.

Human Design purports to be a self-help method that does not have any religious component. It has

been called “the new astrology.”

There's a website at www.jovianarchive. com that calculates your Human Design, but if you want to understand what the graph and chart mean, similar to an astrological chart, you must seek out someone schooled in the art and practice.

One such student of the art is Ilona Barnhart, who can be found as one of the healers and mystics in the Four Moons Collective in Encinitas.

Her soul is on fire for this work, and she has an infectious passion for this interpretive analysis of individual Human Design. I

thoroughly enjoyed our consultation, and I refer back to the recording often.

Check out www.fourmoonsspa.com for booking information and to find out more about this interesting and exciting pseudo-science.

The science perhaps is in differentiation.

Now more than ever, we are being called to live as our most authentic selves and to show up for each other and the world as boldly as we can with our innate and unique gifts.

By adding this knowledge and uncovering this next level of understanding the essence of ourselves, that task is made much easier.

S

ummer in Southern California is not so much a season as it is a ritual, or what Hemmingway might call “a movable feast.”

If it were a season, however, it would be owned by youth. I can still recall being young and sitting in the afternoon heat in mid-June, watching the clock count down to 3.

Then, at the buzzer, we were freed and transformed from Catholic school students, sitting tall in our desks, to wild animals whose only disciplines were taught by the cold hand of ocean water.

Up until my late teens, I lived inland and getting to the beach required a lift from my father, an older friend, or a stranger as we hitchhiked to the nearest shoreline, which was usually located in Huntington Beach.

When not at the beach we swam in the municipal swimming pool, growing darker in skin tone by the day while our hair turned lighter.

Then brown became red and blond became green, thanks to all that chlorine. Hot dogs, KoolAid and zinc oxide were the main expenses.

I awoke one summer morning to a cobalt blue sky and, pounded my fist into my pillow after realizing I had no ride to the beach. Slipping into my old, worn jeans and a faded T-shirt I prepared for the drudgery of yard work.

Suddenly, Danny’s Dodge Dart rolled up like a desert mirage, with two surfboards stacked on the roof. He knocked on the front door and confronted my mother.

In words more polite than I had ever heard leave his usually foul mouth, he said, “Good morning, Mrs. Ahrens. Is Christopher allowed to go to the beach with me? We’ll be home before 5.” Mother agreed, I loaded my board on Danny’s car and we were off.

The first thing he did was pull into a gas station where regular was up to 27 cents a gallon. I gave him a buck and he returned with 25 cents change.

If we surfed in the afternoon, it was usually at Doheny, because it rarely blew out when the onshore winds hit.

That day was like countless others, learning to ride waves and fall without hurting myself, to turn, cut back and walk to the nose.

The world faded as we logged uncountable miles on those little waves.

Friends were made, summer flings were attempted and freckles gave way to skin with the texture of raw hamburger. We never thought of skin cancer, or politics, or war, or racism.

Paying with sunburn, jellyfish or sea urchin spines was part of the price. And, a bargain.

Nothing hurt more than being kept away from the beach on a summer day.

We thought only about our friends, what surfboard we wanted to buy, and where we would get the money for it.

Girls rarely surfed in those days, but those who did were sought after by us boys who wanted to date them.

Beyond that, we thought only about the rising swell and if we would be there to meet it.

The magic summer days depicted above happened between 1962 to 1967.

They would eventually be replaced by far better waves, travels and a move to Encinitas in 1970. But TURN TO WATERSPOT ON B8

Amtrak Pacific Surfliner says RSVPs needed for peak travel

By City News Service

REGION — Reservations will be required on peak travel weekends, beginning with the Memorial Day period, for Amtrak Pacific Surfliner trains that travel between San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, it was announced May 25.

Additional train cars are being added when possible to increase the number of available seats on select trains, but the number of seats onboard each Pacific Surfliner train is limited.

To safely manage capacity during periods when more travelers are anticipated, customers will need a reservation to travel on the following dates: -- Memorial Day weekend: May 28-June 1; -- Fourth of July weekend: July 2-5; -- Opening weekend of Del Mar Races: July 16-19; and -- Labor Day weekend: Sept. 3-7.

Additionally, the Rail 2 Rail program will be suspended on most of the dates above, during which monthly Metrolink and

COASTER passes will not be accepted onboard Pacific Surfliner trains.

Amtrak monthly and 10-ride passes may still be used. However, multi- ride ticket holders will be required to confirm each trip (train and date) through the Amtrak RideReserve program on Amtrak.com, the Amtrak app, or with an Amtrak agent prior to traveling during the reservation period.

Passengers are asked to wear a mask at stations and onboard trains at all times, wash hands or use sanitizer often, and to stay home if they are feeling sick.

Per federal law and Amtrak policy, all customers and employees must wear a face mask or covering that fully covers the entire mouth and nose, fits snugly against the side of the face, and secures under the chin at all times while onboard and in stations.

More dates may be added where a reservation is required, depending on travel demand throughout the summer. For the latest information, visit www.pacificsurfliner.com/schedules.

San Marcos mayor gives State of the City address

By Tigist Layne

SAN MARCOS – San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones delivered the 2021 State of the City address on Wednesday, May 19, hosted by the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce. The virtual event highlighted themes of resilience and innovation while paying a special tribute to frontline workers.

The event started with messages from sponsors followed by a tribute to local healthcare workers who were on the frontlines of navigating the COVID-19 pandemic.

Councilwoman Maria Nuñez then highlighted Kaiser Permanente, which is set to open a new 7-story hospital in San Marcos by 2023.

Councilman Randy Walton highlighted San Marcos’ North City neighborhood, which is the new downtown district that is still only 25% developed.

Once completed, it will include new housing, restaurants and businesses with an emphasis on sustainability.

This was followed by a message from Councilman Ed Musgrove paying tribute to Palomar Health, one of the largest healthcare systems in the county, and an overview of the Discovery Village Development Project by Chamber CEO Rick Rungaitis.

During her address, Mayor Jones highlighted some of the city’s programs that helped residents navigate through a COVID-19 year, including the business sustainability program, the rental assistance program and the various virtual solutions the city implemented in place of city services.

“Our city has taken an innovative approach at every bend in the road, charting our course for recovery.

There is certainly renewed hope on our horizon, and

it's important to reflect on what this community has accomplished in the past year,” Jones said.

Jones highlighted local businesses owners in her address, Steve Munsen, owner of dos Desperados brewery, and David Susuga, owner of Umami Japanese, for their perseverance in carrying their businesses through a difficult year.

Jones then paid tribute to the city’s fire department.

“I commend our worldclass fire department for achieving the prestigious class one public protection classification, the highest level of recognition available from the insurance service organization,” Jones said. “Only 37 fire departments in the state of California and 348 fire departments nationwide have earned this distinction.”

As well as the city’s sheriff’s department, as the city’s crime rate has dropped 40% in the last 5 years.

Jones briefly touched on the city’s Climate Action Plan update and the Housing Element update that the public can stay informed on through the city’s website.

She also promised a summer of activities, events and even the return of 4th of July fireworks on

FIREFIGHTERS FILL THE BOOT FOR BURNS Firefighters from across the county will take to the streets June 17 for the Burn Institute’s 22nd annual “Fill the Boot for the Burn Institute” firefighter boot drive. Firefighters will be at intersections across the county to collect donations for the Burn Institute’s fire and burn prevention education and burn survivor support services. Banners with QR codes for donating will hang at participating fire stations through June. Proceeds benefit the Burn Institute’s fire and burn prevention education programs and burn survivor support services. If you do not catch a red light or see a firefighter on your commute, you can still donate at https://secure.givelively.org/donate/burn-institute/boot-drive. Courtesy photo

the horizon.

“As we move back towards what was once business as usual, we will never forget the integration and resilience of our city and local businesses to weather the storm and continue dreaming big,” Jones said.

“The city of San Marcos is a diverse, vibrant community that we can all be proud to call home. We know that it takes a collective effort from all of us to dream big, move our city forward and achieve great things into our future.”

Nonprofit sues Cox for using bear in campaign

By City News Service

REGION — A local animal rights nonprofit is suing gubernatorial candidate and Rancho Santa Fe businessman John Cox for his use of a 1,000-pound Kodiak bear on the campaign trail.

The Animal Rights and Protection League alleges in a lawsuit filed May 24 in San Diego Superior Court that the bear, Tag, has been “drugged and abused” for use promoting Cox’s run for California governor.

Tag has been on display for public appearances since Cox announced he was running, including one such stop at Shelter Island in San Diego earlier this month, and is also featured in a television ad for his campaign.

Cox, who is running to unseat Gov. Gavin Newsom

in a recall election later this year, has used the animal to illustrate his campaign theme of “Beauty and the Beast.” Newsom, who Cox presents as an elitist out of touch with the needs of Californians, is the “beauty” in that equation.

The Animal Rights and Protection League, which says it also sent cease-anddesist letters to Cox’s residential and business addresses, is seeking to have a judge immediately halt Tag’s use for any future events.

Cox’s campaign issued a statement regarding the suit, which read, “The establishment is running scared from the bear because they don’t like that we’re going to make the big beastly changes California needs. Gavin Newsom and

his insider friends want to distract from the important issues like slashing taxes, fixing the homelessness epidemic, and reducing the cost of living, so families and businesses don’t have to flee the state.”

Previously, Cox’s campaign also said, “Every care was taken to ensure Tag’s comfort and safety with the approval of several government agencies.

California needs beastly change and that may ruffle some feathers of left wing activists.”

The filing of the suit came shortly after the San Diego Humane Society stated it was investigating the bear's use for possible violations of the San Diego municipal code, which the group said “strictly prohibits this type of event.”

Odd Files ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT When Damien Desrocher, 28, decided to “return to nature” in December, it meant leaving his job as an air force computer technician and moving to the northern French town of Wahagnies, where he started raising snails. But they’re not for eating, Reuters reported. Desrocher harvests “slime” from the snails and uses it to make bars of soap. A single snail will yield about 2 grams of slime. Desrocher needs about 80 grams of slime to make 15 100-gram soap bars. “It’s all in the dexterity of how you tickle,” he said as he demonstrated the harvesting technique.

“I only touch it with my finger, you see it’s not violent, it’s simple.” Desrocher said snail mucus contains molecules of collagen and elastin, which have anti-aging and skin-healing properties.

[Reuters, 5/17/2021] SILENT BUT DEADLY In North Carolina, large stands of wetland forests along the coast have died, giving the areas an apocalyptic appearance, CNET reported. Salt water from rising seas and storm surges is causing the destruction of tens of thousands of acres. Researchers at North Carolina State University are studying the “ghost forests” to measure their environmental impact, which includes emitting greenhouse gases — car-

bon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide — that they call “tree farts.” Graduate student Melinda Martinez acknowledged that the trees don’t emit as much as the soils, but, she said, “Even the smallest fart counts.”

[CNET, 5/14/2021] PUT A RING ON IT Avid snorkeler Susan Prior of Norfolk Island, Australia, often sees small mullet fish with rings around their middles — usually plastic rings from juice and milk bottles, she said, according to the New York Post. “Mullet snuffle through the sand looking for food, making it so easy for a ring or a hair tie to flip over their noses and get stuck,” she wrote in a blog post. But in early May, Prior, who also takes underwater photos, captured a snap of a mullet fish sporting a gold wedding band. Prior remembered that she had seen a social media post about a lost wedding ring in the bay, but she couldn’t catch up to the fish to retrieve the item. She did, however, remind others to snip any plastic rings before putting them in the trash so that the fish aren’t “slowly strangled.” [NY Post, 5/14/2021] NO GOOD DEED After Bryan Thayer, 34, finished up at his bar and grill in Metairie, Louisiana, on May 8, he stopped off at the City Bar, where he and a friend bought a drink for another patron, Andrew Nierman, 32. The first drink they bought spilled on Nierman, so they furnished him

with a replacement. But Nierman evidently wasn’t satisfied with that. “He grabbed my head and (bit) a chunk out of my nose,” Thayer told The Times-Picayune, then ran out and jumped in a car. Thayer, who was holding his nose together, and other witnesses ran outside and flagged down a deputy, who stopped Nierman. He admitted to biting Thayer but said he’d been “accosted” by him.

Doctors patched up Thayer’s nose, but he said his injuries will preclude him from working at his own bar for a time. [Times-Picayune, 5/18/2021] OOPS Three neighbors of Cara Louise, 28, of Bedfordshire, England, became alarmed on May 12 when they noticed what appeared to be a corpse wrapped in trash bags and duct tape lying in Louise’s yard. While Louise was picking up her 5-year-old from school, seven police officers descended on her home. When she returned, she provided an explanation: “The prop in the garden was part of our theme” for Halloween, she said, but she had neglected to dispose of the fake corpse after the autumn holiday.

“He” was kept behind her trash bins, but she moved him as she worked in the yard and forgot to put him away. “I have a tip for all parents who go all-out at Halloween like myself — dispose of props or put them away safely,” Louise told the Daily Mail. Laughing with officers, she wondered

When she turned on the light, she was horrified to see that it was blood. Blood was coming in where her ceiling fan was attached to the ceiling, and the fan had spattered it all around the room. Cardenas called 911, and officers determined that the man living in the apartment above hers had died.

“The firefighters knocked down his door and the body was laying exactly where my fan is underneath,” Cardenas said. “He had carpet but the blood seeped through to my ceiling.” Police said the man had died of natural causes and had been deceased for five to six days.

Cardenas stayed at a hotel for a few nights but now has to replace her damaged belongings. She said she was traumatized by the incident: “It was awful, an awful impact.” [KTSM, 5/17/2021]

Summer Reading contest kicks off at O’side library

By Staff

AWESOME! On May 11, police in South Euclid, Ohio, responded to the Walmart store there after a confrontation between Maneka Garner, 25, and Precious Jackson, 36. The two women, who once lived in the same duplex, apparently have been feuding for some time, as Jackson had previously taken out a protection order against Garner. When they met in the potato chip aisle of the Walmart, The Smoking Gun reported, Garner pulled down Jackson’s mask and tried to spit on her, then reached into Jackson’s cart and picked up a 10-pound log of ground beef, which she used to strike Jackson “a couple of times in the face,” police said. In their report, they identified the meat as a “blunt object.”

Police said Garner has a history of violent behavior; she pleaded not guilty to assault and violating a temporary protective order. [The Smoking Gun, 5/13/2021]

BRIGHT IDEA Ever stepped off a curb unexpectedly or run into a pole while looking down at your phone? Minwook Paeng, an industrial design student at London’s Royal College of Art and Imperial College, has invented a device that will alert you to obstacles in your path: the Third Eye. A small translucent case shaped something like an eye affixes to the forehead with a thin gel pad, DeZeen reported, and “the black component that looks like a pupil is an ultrasonic sensor for sensing distance,” Paeng explained.

When the gyroscope senses the head angled downward, the plastic “eyelid” opens and warns the wearer of obstacles in their path with a buzzer. Paeng believes humans are evolving into “phono sapiens,” developing “turtle neck syndrome” and a curved pinky finger from holding our phones. “I hope that the act of ironically pointing out what we are doing with our smartphones can help people take time for self-reflection,” Paeng mused.

UCSD School of Medicine gets $5M grant for Alzheimer’s trial

By City News Service

REGION — The National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded a $5 million grant May 25 to researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine to conduct a clinical trial of a gene therapy for treating Alzheimer’s disease or Mild Cognitive Impairment — a condition that often precedes full-blown dementia.

Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses genes or gene products to treat or prevent disease instead of relying on drugs or surgery.

The clinical trial, developed by principal investigator Dr. Mark Tuszynski, a professor of neuroscience and director of the Translational Neuroscience Institute at UCSD School of Medicine, delivers the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene into the brains of qualifying trial participants, where it is hoped it will prompt production of BDNF in nearby cells.

BDNF is part of a family of growth factors — or proteins — found in the brain and central nervous system that support the survival of existing neurons and promote growth and differentiation of new neurons and synapses. BDNF is particularly important in brain regions susceptible to degeneration from Alzheimer’s.

“We found in earlier studies that delivering BDNF to the part of the brain that is affected earliest in Alzheimer’s disease — the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus — was able to reverse the loss of connections and to protect from ongoing cell degeneration,” Tuszynski said. “These ben-

efits were observed in aged rats, aged monkeys and amyloid mice.”

The three-year trial will recruit 12 participants with either diagnosed AD or MCI to receive the treatment, with another dozen individuals serving as comparative controls over that period.

A previous gene therapy trial from 2001 to 2012 using the gene and a different protein called nerve growth factor found heightened growth, axonal sprouting and activation of functional markers in the brains of participants.

“The BDNF gene therapy trial in AD represents an advance over the earlier NGF trial,” Tuszynski said.

“BDNF is a more potent growth factor than NGF for neural circuits that degenerate in AD. In addition, new methods for delivering BDNF will more effectively deliver and distribute it into the entorhinal cortex and

Tuszynski said the clinical trial has begun enrolling participants, but multiple slots remain available. For more information on the trial, contact Michelle Mendoza at 858-534-8857 or email genetherapy@ucsd.edu.

In addition to the NIA funding, the gene therapy trial is supported by a gift of $250,000 from philanthropist Darlene Shiley and a grant of $700,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association.

In honor of the recent National Endangered Species Day, Escondido Creek Conservancy wanted to highlight the Orcutt’s Brodiaea (Brodiaea orcuttii). This cluster-lily is native to Southern California and primarily San Diego County. Each flower has six purple petals and is found in moist meadow areas. There is a long-term countywide effort to monitor populations of this flower and other rare plants.

Bagby Beer owner talks big changes, surviving pandemic cheers! north county

ryan woldt

I

s anyone else bummed about the May Grey, and impending June Gloom? If only there was some-thing that could cheer me up. Oh wait, there is! Beer! Beer and for the first time in a long, long time going out into the world.

There are certainly challenges to re-engaging, and old social skills need to be relearned, but there are plenty of beers to try along the path.

Bagby Beer has, like me, also been in a state of hibernation. From the beginning, they were one of the breweries that understood the gravity of the coronavirus pandemic and all the possible what-if’s that came with it.

I reached out to Dande Bagby, co-owner of Bagby Beer with her husband Jeff, to see how they are doing at this moment, and if, like me, they are starting to reengage with the world.

Cheers!: Hey Dande, thanks for catching me up on what's going on at Bagby. You've been very honest with your customers about the impact of Covid-19 throughout the past 13 months. At this moment, what is the physical and emotional status of your company and team?

Dande: Of course! Like everyone, the COVID-19 pandemic had a massive impact on our business and on us as individuals. It is not hyperbole to say that we are forever changed, our business is forever changed, and

BAGBY BEER in Oceanside is now offering its popular brew in cans.

also that we are so tired!

It has been an emotionally and physically exhausting endeavor that is really tough to put into words.

One of the realities of owning a business is that to at least some degree, you have a say over the direction things go, and some influence over that. This situation upended that paradigm in some ways, as the ability to steer the outcome was out of our hands, or so it felt at the beginning.

It was clear that there was some diversity in how both people and businesses were handling the pandemic, how it was affecting them, and of course, we know now how polarizing and political the entire subject became.

We knew that our business and personal values would come into play, and as individuals, we are quite principled. This meant that we’d take a clear unwavering stance, and hold steady.

So that is what we did, and continue to do! But, this isn’t without consequence.

Due to our delayed re-

opening, we have lost virtually all of our previous employees, save our Lead Brewer Brandon and our Executive Chef Robert. The original core of our team is quite small but is even more galvanized than ever be-

cause of everything we’ve been through together.

We have a new (much smaller) team, lead by our new and uber-experienced Operations Manager. Training started last Monday for the crew and is progressing.

These are really great people who seem to really

embrace the Bagby vision of committed hospitality and teamwork and we are thrilled to have them. It has allowed us to start at zero, and introduce them to us, our place, our goals and values, and that has been a fun and rewarding piece so far.

Cheers!: What does the

near future hold for Bagby Brewing? How difficult is planning now com-pared to say, six months ago?

Dande: Bagby Beer will be different! We are affectionately referring to us as “Bagby 3.0” and much like a new software release, there are some new features. The structure and foundation re-main intact and stronger than ever, but some of what our guests will experience will be unique. Our food menu, for example, is 100% new. There is no single dish that existed before.

We did so much reflection over the past year and realized that the food component was largely tied to what we offered when we opened, which was generally a reflection of our Chef at the time, and who we were then.

We have changed, our Chef has been with us for coming up to 5 years, and we believe strongly in him and his talent. We needed him to reimagine the kitchen entirely, the staff, the food, the plating, everything. Our menu is awesome.

Every single dish has a story, some connection to an inspiration he or one of us has had. In gen-eral, the food is far more thoughtful, with depth, interesting ingredients and developed flavors. Oh, and nearly every dish will have a plant-based version—not a version that can be made plant-based— an actual designed and dedicated plant-based plate.

We’re pumped to share these dishes with everyone.

We also know that there are tons of our guests who we love and have missed, that are really connected to our former menu.

This is a big reason we didn’t make this shift before. But, the time is now.

We have to uncouple ourselves so we can find a truer reflection of who we are now. We’d love for folks to come back with an open mind.

Catena Zapata vineyards takes you higher at West End Bar taste of wine frank mangio

W

hen one thinks of malbec, hopefully, they are thinking of fruit grown high in the mountains of Mendoza, Argentina. Mendoza is the malbec capital of the world and just so happens to be the home of Catena Zapata vineyards.

Senior Editor Frank Mangio and I were excited to attend a Catena Zapata Wine Dinner at Sal Ercolano’s West End Bar & Kitchen with Andii Ulrich of Winebow Imports, WSET Advanced, narrating the evening. It was only fitting that Chef Noe teamed up with Ercolano’s good friend Jose Luis, a Sommelier and Chef, from Canete, Peru to prepare the five-course dinner paired with Catena Zapata wines.

Catena Vineyards was started in 1902 when Italian immigrant Nicola Catena founded and built the winery in 1902. Catena is famous for resurrecting Malbec from phylloxera that destroyed malbec vines in France.

The second generation was Domingo Vicente (DV) Catena. When DV went to Buenos Aires, the Argentine capital and noticed its fancy Parisian-styled restaurants, he saw a wine market waiting to be conquered. This inspired DV to create Tinto Buenos Aires, a blend of malbec, bonarda and petit verdot, which quickly became Argentine table wine in restaurants and homes.

Today’s Catena Zapata is overseen by third-generation Nicolas Catena Zapa-

ordering platform. This system has been upgrad-ed nicely over the past 6 months or so, and we think it is working well. We will also offer coun-ter/bar service for those who’d prefer to order in person.

Reservations, large party and group events will start booking in July.

As far as planning, it is so much easier than it was three, four or five months ago when there were so many unknowns.

All indications are that the pandemic is ebbing and we can reasonably antici-pate that trend to continue, and that is a huge relief.

There is still a lot of confusion though, and many regulations to navigate, so it will be great when we can just get back to normal operations.

Cheers!: You just launched a new canned

ta and his daughter Laura Catena. His Catena Dream was “to make Argentine wines that can stand with the best in the world” and he is credited with transforming Argentina wines.

Inspired by the Napa revolution of the 1970s, ’80s, and by the Judgement of Paris, Nicolas knew to make a difference, he needed to search for cooler climates further south and higher in altitude than traditional vineyards.

After doing exactly this, he is justly credited with putting Argentinean wines on the world stage with the best of the best.

In fact, Wine Enthusiast named Catena Zapata as the “New World Winery of the Year” in 2010 and Wine Spectator awarded Nicolas with a Distinguished Service Award in 2012 for his efforts to raise Argentina wine quality and earn worldwide recognition.

Additionally, Nicolas created the Catena Institute in collaboration with the University of California Davis and Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. The Institute provides leadership for the university research and development programs to advance and promote wine knowledge for the benefit of wine technicians and the wine community.

Back to the dinner, Ulrich did a fabulous job explaining the different categories of Catena Zapata wines over the five-course dinner. For example, the evening kicked off with Chef Noe and Chef Luis mini bites paired with 2018 Catena “Tupungato” Chardonnay from the Appellation Catena collection from single appellations.

The high altitude (5,000 feet) where the fruit is grown promotes crisp minerality and rich fruit profiles with low alcohol and was definitely true beer program. Congratulations! What has the response been, and how did you choose which of your beers to make available in cans? Are there plans to distribute outside the brewery?

Dande: Cans are fun!

It has been great fun to see our beers in this format—the ease of grabbing a 4-pack or case is so cool (versus hand-filling crowlers).

So far the beers we have canned are those we had just brewed, so that has been the deciding factor.

We really would love to see folks take a 4-pack home with them after their time at the brewery, or swing through on their way to a barbecue to stock up. We have ordered a new 3-door reach-in [cooler] that we are installing in our main bar for this retail aspect.

Next up was a beef empanada served with D.V. Catena in homage to Domingo featuring the original malbec (72%), bonarda (also known as Charbono-21%), and petit verdot (7%) blend.

A balanced red blend combo accenting the empanada spices and flavoring.

The third course was Leg of Lamb served over polenta and melted mozzarella paired with 2017 San Carlos Cab Franc also from the Appellations collection.

The 100% cab franc is aged 12 months in the barrel with 35% new French oak. The sandy loamy soils

and altitude create a nose and palate of ripe fruit with hints of eucalyptus and black pepper and a long, smooth tannin finish.

The main course featured grilled skirt steak topped with chimichurri sauce alongside papas fritas (French fries, garlic, and parsley) paired with 2016 Catena Alta Historic Rows Malbec.

Ulrich spoiled the guests with a bonus 2016 Nicolas Catena Zapata pouring, from the Catena Zapata category. This premium category has plant by plant selections marked with a red sash on the plant in the field and is the best

fruit that Catena has to offer.

This cab sauv (59%), malbec (33%), and cab franc (8%) blend was a stunning pairing proving at least to me that Catena is a premium wine. Dinner concluded with chocolate pudding served with an Australian Yalumba Antique Tawney port.

A great evening of wines, food, and narration.

Bravo Sal, Andii, Chef Noe, and Chef Luis! More details and info at catenazapata. com and westenddelmar. com.

CARLSBAD DOWNTOWN VOLUNTEERS HONORED

Mon-Fri 7-5 Sat. 7-3 www.vistapaint.com

ENCINITAS - 270-C N. El Camino Real 760.634.2088 ESCONDIDO - 602 N. Escondido Blvd. 760.839.9420 • VISTA - 611 Sycamore Ave.760.598.0040

CARLSBAD — As part of National Volunteer Month, Rep. Mike Levin recognized two MainStreet Oceanside volunteers for their outstanding volunteer commitment to Downtown Oceanside.

Nominated by MainStreet, Oceanside resident and downtown property owner Lauren Sweeton (above, left) and downtown resident and longtime MainStreet volunteer Mary Ann Thiem (above, right), received Special Congressional Recognition from the 49th District’s congressman.

Sweeton was awarded a Congressional Certificate of Recognition for her leadership for a new visionary landmark sign that will wel-

come all to a more walkable, safe and artistically creative downtown destination.

Sweeton’s vision for an inviting and vibrant Downtown spurred the Oceanside Landmark Sign project under the Downtown Oceanside Property and Business Improvement District.

“It has been a pleasure to work on the Downtown Oceanside placemaking project,” Sweeton said. “We hope this project brings more pedestrian traffic and increases time spent in Downtown, while providing a new public art piece for locals and visitors to enjoy.”

Thiem was awarded a Congressional Certificate of Recognition for her service

on the MainStreet Oceanside board of directors and as chair of the MainStreet Design Committee, which has led to the creation of the Art that Excites program. Thiem has worked to see Downtown Oceanside transformed into a destination for public art.

Her dedication to the community-driven public art program has helped to bring four curated murals to the Downtown District.

“I’ve lived in and loved Oceanside for over 20 years.

I’ve watched it grow and get better and better,” Thiem said. “I am happy and extremely proud to have been part of MainStreet during this exciting time.”

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, as follows: 1.

That the above recitations are true and correct.

2.

That the public interest and convenience requires, and it is the intention of this legislative body to levy and collect assessments to pay the annual costs and expenses for the maintenance and/or servicing of the Improvements for the Assessment District, with the Improvements generally described as follows: the maintenance of certain street lighting improvements, street trees, and median landscaping improvements, as set forth and described in the Report. The proposed new improvements to be maintained and serviced caused generally by new development within the Assessment District are described as follows: the maintenance of certain additional street lighting improvements and additional landscaping improvements, including replacement of street trees and median landscaping improvements, all as set forth and described in the Report.

3.

That said improvements are of direct benefit to the properties within the boundaries of the Assessment District, which the legislative body previously declared to be the area benefited by the improvement, as identified and referenced in the boundary map previously approved by the City Council, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk and open for public inspection, and which is designated by the name of this Assessment District.

4.

That the Improvements are referred to Harris & Associates, who is directed to make and file the Report generally containing the following: A. Plans and specifications describing the general nature, location and extent of the Improvements within the Assessment District; B. A diagram for the Assessment District, showing the area and properties proposed to be assessed; C. An estimate of the cost of the maintenance and/or servicing of the Improvements for the Assessment District for the Fiscal Year commencing July 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2022; D. An assessment of the estimated costs of the maintenance and/or servicing, assessing the net amount upon all assessable lots and/or parcels within the Assessment District in proportion to the benefits received.

5.

That the Report, as presented, is approved on a preliminary basis, and is ordered to be filed in the office of the City Clerk as a permanent record and to remain open to public inspection. Reference is made to the Report for a full and detailed description of the improvements to be maintained, the boundaries of the Assessment District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the Assessment District. All Street Lighting Improvement Zone, Street Tree Improvement Zone and Median Landscaping Improvement Zone assessments are to remain the same as the previous year and all new assessments added to the tax roll will be calculated at the same unit rates as the previous year.

6.

Notice is hereby given that a public hearing is scheduled at the regular time and in the regular meeting place of the City Council on the following date: Tuesday, July 13, 2021 At that time this legislative body will hear protests or objections in reference to the annual levy of assessments and to any other matters contained in this resolution. Any persons who wish to object to the proceedings or the annual levy should file a written protest with the City Clerk prior to the time set for the public hearing. If there is a majority protest against the levy of an annual assessment that is increased from the previous year, the proposed increase in the assessments shall be abandoned. A majority protest exists if, upon the conclusion of the hearing, written protests filed and not withdrawn, represent property owners owning more than 50% of the assessable area of land within the Assessment District.

7.

That the City Clerk is authorized and directed to give notice as required by law by causing a copy of this Resolution to be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the City of Carlsbad not less than 10 days prior to the date set for the public hearing.

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 caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation.

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.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

MAY 28, 2021

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you would prefer to move forward at a steady pace, it might be a good idea to stop and reassess your plans. You could find a good reason to make a change at this time.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Just when you thought you had everything planned to the smallest detail, you get some news that could unsettle things.

But a timely explanation helps put it all back on track.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Home and work continue to compete for your attention. But you handle it well by giving each its proper due.

Someone you trust offers valuable advice. Listen to it.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Unsettling news creates a difficult but not impossible situation. Continue to follow your planned routine, but keep your mind open to a possible change down the line.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Lick your wounded pride if you like, but it’s a better idea to find out why your suggestions were rejected. What you learn could help you deal with an upcoming situation.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Feeling a bit listless? No wonder.

You might be pushing too hard to finish everything on your to-do list. Cutting it down could help get your energy levels up.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Taking time out of your busy schedule might be the best way to handle that sensitive private matter. It will help reassure everyone involved about your priorities.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Insist on full disclosure by all parties before agreeing to be part of a “great deal.” What you learn should help you decide whether to go with it or not.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your decision to protect the secret that was entrusted to you might irk some people. But it also wins you the admiration of those who value trust and loyalty.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Creative activities take on a practical approach as you realize you might be able to market your work. Ask for advice from someone experienced in this area.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) If you’re suddenly a bit unsure about your decision, ask trusted colleagues and/or friends or family members for suggestions that could help resolve your doubts.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A workplace situation could get stormy. But stay on course until there’s a solution that meets with everyone’s approval, and things finally can calm down.

Summer F un & Opportunities Leading Note Studios Wins ‘Music School of the Year 2020’ Congratulations to Leading Note Studios owner Camille Hastings for winning the 2020 Music Academy Success System School of the Year Award!

Nominated through MASS in a competition involving over three hundred schools nationwide, Leading Note Studios won Music School of the Year in a ranking amongst the top 7 schools in the nation.

Leading Note continues to bring music & joy to the community, serving over 580 clients weekly from toddlers to adults. The school offers recitals, camps, instrument rentals, lesson packages,

and an in-house recording studio for students of all experience levels.

With over 12 years of experience, The Encinitas-based music school opened its second location in February 2020. In the face of the pandemic they provided zoom lessons and maintained their diligence and commitment to their students. Lessons are now offered online and in person.

With a variety of music summer camps coming up, Leading Note Studios owner Camille Hastings is looking forward to another successful season of summer camps.

“We’ll keep the classes small and safe” Hastings said, “but we’ll keep people laughing and bring music to your household.”

This summer, half-day and full-day music camps will be offered from June to August starting at $325.

The school will be hosting rock bands, musical theatre, and intro to music and audio engineering and recording camps. Students will have the opportunity to improve their skills in vocals, engineering, string instruments, songwriting, jazz, rock, and much more.

The Grauer School

Rediscover your sense of joy & play!

The Buddhists have a concept called “beginner’s mind.” They have long understood that the free, peaceful, innocent, unhurried, unstressed mind is the one with the greatest access to wisdom and clarity.

Why must educators throw out all we know about best practice education just because kids enter high school?

Some of the greatest improvements we’ve made to The Grauer School in recent times have everything to do with social and emotional well-being and development.

What high school has a swing set and a tree house classroom—places of pure youth and pure joy. And a fast-growing Torrey pine tree is beautifully shading our tree stump circle classroom back in our wildlife preserve—what a place to be!

It’s like…childhood!

Weekly our students meet in their Core Values Portfolios groups to drop the curriculum for an hour and just talk about How We Are Doing! How are we feeling?

What values are we living out?

“I reviewed a really ex-

cellent new textbook proposal this week and integrated some test results into our teaching program and, sure, I felt great about doing all that. But something tells me I added the most value to my students’ week while I was chasing them around with my giant squirt gun on a sunny day and some of them were screaming for pure joy.” — Stuart Grauer, Ed.D.

New Name, Same Great Program!

Carlsbad Galaxy is now City SC Carlsbad You may have heard your friends talking around town about signing up for a soccer program that sounds brand new...Carlsbad Galaxy is now City SC Carlsbad!

City SC Carlsbad is excited to continue their long history of serving the local youth sports community under the new name and new badge. (If you are feeling nostalgic for the old Carlsbad Wave, Carlsbad Lightning, Carlsbad United or Carlsbad Galaxy programs, City SC Carlsbad is the league you are looking for!)

With the fall recreational soccer season just around the corner, City SC Carlsbad is proud to offer the same great low cost program they have for years. The season includes 13 weeks of programing from August – November, games on local Carlsbad fields, professional referees, full adidas uniform (with home and away jerseys), picture package, organized league and communication (including premium access to the Team Snap team communication platform), and of course, an end of season medal to commemorate the season.

In addition to all the great perks and professional organization provided by the league, City SC Carlsbad offers unrivaled coach education resources and train-

ing for all volunteer coaches to further enhance the recreational soccer experience for participants of all ages.

“We take great pride and responsibility in providing the best recreational soccer environment in all of San Diego,” said Gregg Cacioppo, City SC Carlsbad

We take great pride and responsibility in providing the best recreational soccer environment in all of San Diego.”

Gregg Cacioppo Director Of Recreation

Director of Recreation. “We ensure that all of our volunteer coaches have the tools they need to provide you with a great soccer experience by providing a guided coaching curriculum, an onfield coaches training run by our competitive coaches, and the equipment they need to be successful.”

The program features divisions for players ages 4-18 (birth years 2017-2003) and also offers members the flexibility to enroll in

either a North Carlsbad or South Carlsbad Division to ensure a convenient field location for practices and games, regardless of which corner of Carlsbad you call home. The North Division spans from Cannon Road to Las Flores Drive, while the South Division spans from Palomar Airport Road to La Costa Avenue. Participants also have the option to submit a buddy request at the time of registration.

Whether you want to be on a team with a friend at school or a neighbor you carpool with, if the request is reciprocated by both parties, the league works hard to factor in these requests while also building balanced rosters.

To register for the program please visit the City SC Carlsbad website and complete the online registration process: www.ourcitysc. com/recreation Registration for the City SC Carlsbad Fall Recreational Season closes on July 3, 2021 and spots are filling up fast! Be sure to register early as divisions regularly fill up before the deadline!

The 2021 fall season is already shaping up to be one of the most memorable yet, and we thank you in advance for choosing City SC Carlsbad as your place for youth soccer!

We are Carlsbad!
