Vista eyes pot lounges

City drafts proposal to amend Measure Z

By Leo Place

may be asked in the coming years

whether to amend a cannabis dispensary initiative to allow lounges where patrons could consume inhalable and ingestible cannabis in a safe environment.

“We’re

at a place where probably the cannabis industry and voters would support that.”

John Franklin Mayor of Vista

Residents’ approval of Measure Z in 2018 allowed the operation of up to 11 medical cannabis dispensaries in the city (10 are currently active), with the City Council approving recreational retail in 2021. The 7% cannabis tax has been a massive boon to the city’s General Fund, bringing in $7 million in revenue last year.

City leaders have discussed cannabis lounges various times in recent years, specifically the idea of allowing lounges affiliated with existing dispensaries.

In July, the City Council approved a cannabis equity program and instructed staff to research options for other ways to promote cannabis revenue.

Councilmember Joe Green, a staunch advocate for cannabis businesses, said he would like to grant accessory licenses for local dispensaries that would allow them to also operate a lounge. He

Racehorse dies after training injury

Staff and wire reports

DEL MAR — A 6-year-old gelding named Elector was euthanized Nov. 16 after sustaining an “inoperable right front ankle injury” during training at Del Mar Racetrack, officials confirmed.

Elector, foaled on Jan. 9, 2018, competed in 17 career races with three wins, including a victory at Del Mar on Aug. 18. He is the fifth horse to die this year at Del Mar due to racing or training-related injuries.

The death was con-

firmed by a Del Mar spokesman on Sunday, following initial reports from the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The incident occurred just weeks after Del Mar hosted the Breeders’ Cup World Championships, where the event recorded its third-highest all-sources handle in history.

However, the event was marred by tragedy when Jayarebe, a 3-yearold French horse, collapsed and died of an apparent cardiac arrest after a race.

VISTA — Voters in Vista

Encinitas denies Clark, Torrey Crest appeals

By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS —

The Encinitas City Council on Nov. 13 unanimously denied an appeal challenging a permit extension request for the 199-unit Clark Avenue Apartments project.

The project developer, Western National Properties, will build 199 rental units throughout 15 buildings in the 600 block of Clark Avenue and 500 block of Union Street. Twenty percent (40 units) of the units will be dedicated to low-income housing.

The council affirmed the city’s Director of Development Services Kerry Kusiak’s prior approval of the developer’s request for a one-year extension, extending the project’s expiration date to Sept. 14, 2025.

Cindy Cremona, representing the Clark Development Action Group, highlighted issues regarding the notification process for the permit renewal.

Cremona said approximately 50 affidavits from residents within a 500-foot radius of the project state that they were not properly notified of the extension request.

“Residents were not given adequate time to respond,” Cremona said in the meeting. “Those who were notified received minimal information on the notice itself, including the expected date of the decision and how to find the decision.”

Senior Planner Christina Bustamante said the project was initially approved on Sept. 14, 2022, and has been pursued actively by the developer, with grading and building permit applications in progress.

However, Bustamante said since construction permits had not been issued before the initial expiration, the developer filed for a time extension, which was approved to extend the expiration to Sept. 14, 2025.

“The public noticing was provided in accordance with the Encinitas Municipal Code, and notices were mailed to owners and occupants within a 500foot radius,” Bustamante said during her comments. “There has been no evidence or information provided

to support the appellant’s claim [the notices weren’t sent out].”

Bustamante said this request was the first extension and did not involve any changes to the original project scope or conditions.

In addition, Cremona raised safety and access concerns, stating that Union and Clark streets do not meet the standards for unencumbered access needed for emergency vehicles, presenting a notable safety risk.

“We also have signif-

icant safety and access concerns,” Cremona said. “We’d like to see the fire department and/or the fire marshal’s documentation and reports that state that Union and Clark are within code.”

Regarding the appellant’s claim about the project’s compliance with fire and building codes, Bustamante affirmed that the Encinitas Fire Department had reviewed the project and found it met all necessary fire codes.

Bustamante highlighted that no new evidence or changes in city policy or conditions had emerged since the project’s initial approval to warrant additional analysis.

Several residents spoke up at the meeting, expressing similar sentiments as Cremona, but despite calls for further review, the council unanimously adopted a motion to uphold the original extension approval, citing the binding nature of state housing laws.

“This is just so indicative of the city’s consistent disregard of the residents in

favor of developers,” Cremona said. “It’s very frustrating.”

The project site has been a source of frustration for some residents since it was approved.

Last year, neighbors of the Clark Avenue Apartments site complained to the city and local law enforcement about squatters, fires and other safety issues on the vacant property.

Cristina Vega, who lives next door, described the property as messy and cluttered. At the time, Vega said the site has attracted squatters and other homeless individuals who have trespassed onto the property and caused panic in the community by starting fires and engaging in other unsafe activities.

The Encinitas City Council on Nov. 13 unani-

mously denied an appeal by a local group opposing a 30home development on Melba Road and Island View Lane, allowing the project to move forward despite neighbors’ concerns.

The appeal, filed by the Melba Alliance for a Safe and Healthy Environment (MASHE), challenged the Planning Commission’s September approval of the Torrey Crest project. MASHE argued the development would create safety issues, contaminate soil, increase traffic and result in the removal of mature trees without adequate mitigation.

Developer Torrey Pacific Corporation’s plan also features a private road, a park, road widening along Melba Road and other site improvements on the 7-acre parcel near Oak Crest Mid-

City revises climate plan

By Walker Armstrong CARLSBAD — The

Carlsbad City Council adopted an updated Climate Action Plan on Tuesday aimed at meeting the city’s 2045 greenhouse gas reduction targets.

After a public hearing featuring a range of community opinions and detailed deliberations among elected officials, the council’s decision on Tuesday reflected a balance between achieving climate goals while addressing economic and feasibility concerns raised by various stakeholders.

the state’s emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030.

Mayor Keith Blackburn proposed the motion for Option 1, which included a proposed amendment that meets the minimum 2045 reduction target but excludes measures such as updated reach codes for residential and nonresidential buildings and city-owned solar carports equipped with battery backups and charging stations.

“I got a little bit of coaching from the city manager on how to properly do this, so my motion is going to be for (Option 1), but with the addition of city-owned solar canopy or carport with battery backup and charging stations,” Blackburn said.

This option meets but does not exceed the state’s 2045 greenhouse gas reduction target of achieving carbon neutrality through reducing greenhouse gas emissions and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The council ultimately voted 4-1 in favor of adopting a revised Option 1 that includes the implementation of solar canopies or carports, with Councilmember Teresa Acosta voting against the motion due to her preference for Option 4.

This option includes all the proposed measures in the plan’s update and exceeds the 2045 greenhouse gas reduction target by approximately 6,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.

“I won’t be supporting (revised Option 1) because I’m adamant that we need to do as much as we can, and that’s Option 4,” Acosta said, explaining her vote against the motion.

Over the last 10 years, California has passed two key laws setting ambitious climate targets. Senate Bill 32, passed in 2016, requires the California Air Resources Board to reduce

Looking further ahead, Assembly Bill 1279, passed in 2022, mandates an 85% reduction in emissions from 1990 levels by 2045.

Per 2016 baseline data, Carlsbad’s total emissions were 981,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. The largest contributor to emissions was transportation on roads and streets, accounting for 51% of the total emissions from all vehicle travel. Electricity usage followed at 27%, and natural gas contributed 14% to the city’s overall carbon footprint.

The city’s emissions are equivalent to the consumption of 110 million gallons of gasoline, the continuous operation of 218,000 passenger vehicles for one year or the electricity consumption of 124,000 homes for one year.

The approved Climate Action Plan update now mandates the construction of solar panels over outdoor parking spaces at eligible city-owned parking lots, alongside other measures, while balancing feedback from community members and business leaders who voiced concerns over feasibility and cost.

The meeting, which featured extensive public input, reflected the community’s varied perspectives on Carlsbad’s climate priorities. Proponents of stronger measures, such as the Sierra Club and residents advocating for full electrification, argued for comprehensive reach codes to enhance emissions reductions.

Feedback from members of the Sierra Club suggested the city electrify its fleet faster, require new construction to be all-electric, increase charging infrastructure along thoroughfares such as state Route 78, install bike lane improvements along Coast

Green Oak RV park tenants stunned by eviction

City leaders scramble to help before New Year’s

By Leo Place VISTA —

When residents of the Green Oak Ranch RV Park in Vista describe the park, they have called it a “blessing” — a safe and affordable place to live on a beautiful piece of property.

In October, tenants received a notice from Green Oak Ranch Ministries, the nonprofit running the park, that they would all be evicted in 60 days and needed to find another place to live.

The news left 32 households, many with young children and seniors on fixed incomes, suddenly facing a desperate situation.

The park will be cleared by Dec. 31 to make way for homelessness nonprofit Solutions for Change, which will commence a 10year lease of a 110-acre portion of the ranch at the start of 2025.

One 72-year-old resident of the RV park, who has lived there for 11 years and asked not to be named, said there is no reason to force all the tenants out on such a short timeline. Some of them have lived there for nearly 20 years and are now being forced out right before the holidays.

“We figured if something is going to be going

on, it’s going to be years and years. What’s the rush?” the resident said.

The 110-acre parcel of the historic 140-acre ranch, located in Vista’s Shadowridge neighborhood, currently houses the RV park in addition to a popular summer camp and retreat center and a residential men’s recovery program operated by Green Oak Ranch Ministries.

Solutions for Change plans to use the land to expand its Solutions Academy, a program for families experiencing homelessness, specifically to provide additional housing and workforce development training.

City leaders expressed their dismay at the situation at a Nov. 12 council meeting and discussed how city staff and outreach providers are working to connect the RV park tenants with resources and housing.

“At the end of the day, just because someone has the legal right to do something doesn’t mean it’s morally right to do. This is me expressing my opinion, that I do think this eviction is wrong and I think the tenants deserve more time, but that is not something that we have control over,” said Councilmember Katie Melendez.

As of Tuesday, city staff

said, all but four or five households in the RV park had identified housing to move into, in addition to three households they had not been able to connect with yet.

The Green Oak Ranch board put the parcel up for sale around a year after the passing of the land’s former owner, Arie de Jong, last April.

After a competitive bidding process for the land, which included offers from Solutions for Change and the County of San Diego, the nonprofit was awarded a 10-year lease in July, with exclusive rights to purchase the land for $10.5 million.

According to an August letter from the ranch board to Green Oak Ranch Ministries obtained by The Coast News, the board ordered the nonprofit to vacate the property and remove all subtenants — including the RV park tenants — by Dec. 31.

Green Oak Ranch Ministries will also have to move its recovery program to another part of the ranch and will lose much of its funding due to the closure of the summer camp.

According to Byzak, the city of Vista indicated to Solutions that the park would need to be brought up to code and receive a permit to continue.

Byzak said Solutions has not received sufficient information about the park’s economics and would potentially need to invest significant funds to bring it up to code.

“You can’t really take over an RV park that’s unpermitted and expect somebody to just run it,” Byzak said. “Our understanding from the city is that bringing it up to code may be significant.”

Byzak added that an RV park may be opened in the future, and Solutions for Change also surveyed park residents to ask if they would be interested in living in a new park.

At the council’s recent meeting, City Manager John Conley acknowledged that the Green Oak Ranch RV park has been unpermitted for several years but that it does not appear to have major issues that need to be abated.

“We’ve been aware of them having an RV park there for a long, long time. We’re not aware of when it

O’side to rename shelter

Rescue Mission will continue to manage center

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— The Oceanside City Council has agreed to change the name of the city’s 50-bed homeless shelter and extend a property use agreement with San Diego Rescue Mission to manage the shelter’s operations for at least another year.

In 2021, the council approved a three-year agreement with San Diego Rescue Mission to run and operate the Oceanside Navigation Center. Two years later, the shelter officially opened at 3131 Oceanside Blvd at the former Ocean Shores High School campus.

As the expiration date of the original agreement approached on Nov. 17, San Diego Rescue Mission requested a one-year extension of the property use agreement until Nov. 16, 2025.

The existing agreement sets forth the terms and conditions for using the facility and governing the operations of the services provided by San Diego Rescue Mission.

Since the shelter has been operating for over a year now, staff recommended separating the property use agreement

from the facility operating agreement this time. Staff will bring the facility operating agreement to the City Council for consideration in January.

The San Diego Rescue Mission also requested to change the shelter’s name to “North County Lighthouse,” however Mayor Esther Sanchez requested changing that request to “Oceanside Lighthouse” instead.

“I know that we are very focused on ensuring that we are addressing our homeless folks in Oceanside,” Sanchez said. “Oceanside Lighthouse would be fine, but to say North County suggests that it is more regional, and I am concerned about that.”

Since opening, the shelter has taken in 508

people, with 282 successfully leaving the shelter into an appropriate support program or permanent housing. Of the people served at the shelter, over 44 were veterans, 41 were children, and 58 were victims of domestic violence.

According to the city, the shelter serves as a “critical entry point” in its response to homelessness and a “short-term solution” to help people get off the streets and into housing.

The San Diego Rescue Mission will continue to provide services to unhoused individuals in lieu of paying rent on the facility. City staff estimates these services cost over $1 million annually.

Meanwhile, the city remains responsible for maintenance and utility costs for the property.

O’Hara overwhelms Preston in District 2 race

Encinitas council

majority no longer Democrat-backed

By Jordan P. Ingram

ENCINITAS

— After the latest batch of election results, Jim O’Hara now holds an insurmountable lead in the race for the District 2 seat on the Encinitas City Council, defeating challenger Destiny Preston, who trails by more votes than ballots remaining to be counted.

As of Nov. 20, O’Hara leads with 55.38% of the vote to Destiny Preston’s 44.62%, according to the latest count. O’Hara leads by 778 votes with 8,327 ballots cast and an estimated 321 still outstanding.

Preston did not respond to requests for comment on the latest results, which have effectively eliminated her from contention. The Democrat-backed candidate has yet to concede the race and previously told The Coast News she would “wait until all votes are counted and the final results are certified before making any statements.”

Tony Kranz and Allison Blackwell, also endorsed by the San Diego County Democratic Party, each conceded their races last week once defeat became apparent.

O’Hara, owner of the event management com-

pany Race San Diego LLC, built his campaign on public safety, infrastructure and fiscal responsibility. He has advocated for prioritizing essential community needs, such as road repairs and law enforcement, over large development projects.

“I am grateful for the incredible number of hours and hard work that my campaign team and volunteers put in during this election. I also want to thank my opponent and her team on a

very well-contested election campaign,” O’Hara told The Coast News. “I am humbled to have earned the privilege of representing the residents of Encinitas on our City Council. There’s a lot of work ahead. City Council has a full plate, and our city needs to begin healing itself.

“So, the celebration will be short, and I’ll be getting right back to work,” O’Hara continued. “I want to invite all Encinitas to stay involved past this election.

crats, including Congressman Mike Levin and state Sen. Catherine Blakespear, and raising nearly twice as much in campaign contributions as O’Hara, Preston, a new figure to Encinitas politics, was criticized by opponents over her residency status and the amount of outside donors contributing to her campaign.

At the time of publication, Preston’s candidate and business Facebook accounts are no longer active, but her Instagram profiles remain online.

The Coast News has attempted to reach Preston at her residence and business, Radiate Metta Wellness, but those efforts have been unsuccessful.

The Coast News also contacted her campaign manager, Jared Sclar, but did not receive a response to requests for comment.

facts.

“Change is hard, but if we don’t take the housing crisis seriously, Encinitas will turn into a community of millionaires and aging individuals holding on for dear life to a mythic perception of the past that if we just refuse to follow the law, we can ‘Make Encinitas Great Again,’” Preston continued. “...I hope that the incoming Council will recognize that there are many renters in the city, especially in District 2. I hope that they recognize that working-class and middle-class people contribute significantly to our community character... We need housing for all income levels, and this will require smart growth. The ‘no-growth’ approach is not only illegal, but it will also ultimately destroy the community character they claim to want to protect.”

Bring your voice and your ideas to City Hall. Encinitas’ greatest resource is the amazing people who reside here. When you come to City Hall, we will be listening.”

Preston, a small-business owner with a background in environmental policy and city planning, centered her platform on climate resilience, infrastructure safety and responsible development.

Despite endorsements from high-profile Demo -

In a written statement provided on Nov. 14 to the Voice of San Diego, Preston responded to some questions regarding the election process and some of the more pressing issues facing Encinitas residents, such as affordable housing.

“Many residents have described this year’s election as the most toxic and divisive election in recent history,” Preston wrote. “Misrepresentations and complete fabrications about opposing candidates and their policy positions robbed the electorate of making decisions based on

The election of Bruce Ehlers, Luke Shaffer and O’Hara flips the council majority away from Democrat-supported leadership for the first time in years.

In Encinitas, there are 19,856 registered Democrats, 11,395 Republicans and 10,395 voters who declined to state their party preference, according to the Registrar of Voters. In related news, Measure K, the city’s proposed one-cent tax increase, failed to pass, with 52.3% of voters rejecting the proposal compared to 47.7% of those voting in support.

Save lives this season

By Summer Stephan

My office has the tough duty of seeing the specifics of every fatal DUI that happens across the county and as you can imagine, the details are heart-wrenching.

Case after case documents how lives were cut short and family units left in shambles with the painful knowledge that the catastrophe could have been prevented by a very simple act: not driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Just this month a 25-year-old man in North County was sentenced for driving under the influence of drugs and causing the death of a mother and her 4-year-old daughter.

Also this month, a 38-year-old drunken driver was found guilty at trial of running over and killing a man as he walked to work in University Heights last summer.

These defendants, just like any person, could have prevented the tragic outcomes of these cases by simply not driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Instead, here I am telling you about the death and destruction caused by bad decisions. Unfortunately, the number of young drivers involved in fatal DUI-related crashes has increased this past year.

More than half of the individuals charged with DUI homicide offenses in

2024 were between the ages of 18 and 26 at the time of the collision.

Our office has a specialized team of prosecutors and investigators who bring justice to DUI offenders who cause death. We just received a nearly $900,000 grant — our 11th one in a row — from the California Office of Transportation Safety to prevent and prosecute impaired driving deaths and DUI-drug cases.

This grant comes as fatal DUI numbers in San Diego County remain at an all-time high with 25 people already being killed this year.

My message to every driver in San Diego County is clear and I hope every reader will help me spread the word: If you are caught drinking or drugged driving, you will be prosecuted. If you kill someone because of your impaired driving, you can be charged with homicide.

As we enter the holiday season when many people are celebrating with drinks or other substances, please begin your celebration by designating a sober driver or planning for a ride.

Do not end the year with a DUI on your record or even worse, by taking someone’s life. The combination of alcohol and marijuana have been the cause of death in several DUI cases.

Even though either substance may be legal to consume at the appropriate age,

Subscriptions:

An old saying tells us “no one votes for the vice president in a presidential election, just for the president.”

Money factors in making next veep california focus

But the quick ascension of Californian Kamala Harris to her party’s presidential nomination last summer demonstrates how vital the choice can be, a decision usually made solely by prospective presidential nominees.

So it was this year with both Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. (for James David) Vance.

Valley money followed the choice of Vance. At least $100 million in donations to the Trump campaign and maybe $200 million, both direct and indirect.

it’s not legal or safe to drive while under their influence.

At least 30 people die every year in San Diego County due to DUI driving. Here are some of the recent statistics that I hope will assure you to make a sober driving plan if you plan to consume alcohol or take substances that could impair your judgment.

• In 2022, 33 people were killed in 32 DUI-related crashes.

• In 2023, 32 people were killed in 29 DUI-related crashes.

• This year, 25 people have been killed so far in 20 DUI-related crashes.

Since DUI crashes are 100% preventable, I am calling on all Californians to think twice before getting behind the wheel while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

When you’re invited to that next holiday party or as you celebrate the year coming to an end, don’t become a San Diego statistic of someone gone too soon or someone who caused another person’s death. Plan on how you will get home safely and don’t let anyone drive who you suspect may be impaired.

On behalf of our entire team at the District Attorney’s Office, we wish you a joyful and safe holiday season.

Summer Stephan is the district attorney of San Diego County.

Letters to the Editor

In response to the Nov. 8, 2024, cover story, “Safety concerns, delays plague Santa Fe work,” we share in the frustration of Dr. Nikolas Capetanakis and all those affected by the impact of the construction.

We are also impacted due to the diverted traffic on Melba Road.

Not too long ago, the city lowered the speed limit on Melba Road to 20 mph. Due to the diverted traffic from Santa Fe, we have witnessed cars, NCTD buses, school buses, and garbage trucks far exceeding the newly posted speed limit

with zero enforcement.

Both the city and the contractor diverted traffic to Melba Road and did nothing to ensure traffic enforcement on these new routes.

Ironically, some of the cyclists the city is trying to protect with the “protected bike lanes” in the Santa Fe project are the kids on e-bikes traveling on Melba Road to and from SDA, Ocean Knoll and Oak Crest.

The story quotes Mayor Tony Kranz: “If things aren’t working when it’s finished, we’re going to definitely find a way to make it work. And, if that means changing

things after the project is completed, you know, we’ll take that as a lesson learned and not make the same mistake again.”

No, Mayor Kranz. It’s bad enough that this project is delayed and is facing scrutiny around the design.

The Santa Fe project was a significant disruption and used significant taxpayer money. When this project is finished, there should be no reason for “things” not to be working or the need to change “things.”

Judy Wallace Encinitas

It’s pretty clear that Walz calling Republican President-elect Donald Trump and his choice of Vance “weird” first propelled him into Harris’ consciousness. Previously, he was almost completely obscure on a national level.

But Walz performed well as a prospect and other possibilities had more potential drawbacks. So he suddenly became nationally prominent, at least for a while.

Things were apparently far more complex in Trump’s selection of Vance, best known previously for his 2016 autobiography, “Hillbilly Elegy.”

For several years after his book became a bestseller, Vance worked as a venture capitalist in Silicon Valley, an experience that developed into a large factor in his selection as Trump’s running mate. His access to billionaires in the San Francisco suburbs may have attracted Trump to him as much as anything else.

Vance did, after all, write on Facebook in 2016 that “I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler.” The quote did not become public until 2022, while he ran for the Senate.

Vance also declared Trump to be “reprehensible” and “an idiot.” Now he says those fairly recent views of his current boss are obsolete. For Vance, Trump has become the cat’s pajamas, now that he’s made Vance nationally prominent. It gives Vance the appearance of an opportunist.

There was apparently plenty of opportunism in Trump’s own choice, which included complete exoneration of Vance’s previous views of him. Before, Vance just didn’t understand, Trump told those who asked. Now he does. This may be a new form of what Chinese Communists call “reeducation.”

It turns out Trump’s choice may be a pretty good illustration of another old saying, “If you want to understand a story, follow the money.”

For plenty of Silicon

For example, Peter Thiel, a major venture capitalist and co-founder of PayPal, was no Trump enthusiast until after the new president-elect chose Vance, a Thiel protege. Thiel and pals like fellow venture capitalist Marc Andreesen kicked in tens of millions and raised even more from others, the precise amount yet to be fully reported. Vance has also worked with technology billionaire David Sacks in the Bay Area. Sacks sat beside Trump last summer at a $300,000 per person fundraising dinner on San Francisco’s Nob Hill, where Trump informally polled the room on his choice for veep.

Some of those present also helped persuade billionaire Tesla and X owner Elon Musk to become a Trump activist; he eventually kicked in more than $75 million.

At the same time, sources say, many venture capitalists view Vance as a potential barrier to revival of a tax plan proposed by Harris and President Biden which aimed to impose a 25% levy on unrealized capital gains valued at over $100 million. This plan could cost some venture capitalists billions. The high-tech Republican-leaning billionaires also are reported to view Vance as their shield against tough regulation of artificial intelligence; they and their Democratic cohorts also successfully lobbied Gov. Gavin Newsom to veto a state bill that would have imposed the world’s first regulations on A.I. And some see Vance as helping them fend off heavy taxation of cryptocurrency profits.

All of which means there has rarely been a more obvious case where following the money helps explain a major political decision. The plain reality is that if Vance had not spent several years in Northern California, he almost certainly would never have graced this year’s Republican ticket.

It’s a much more complex story than what happened among Democrats, even if Walz was even more obscure than Vance before last summer. Email Thomas Elias

SoCal news guild inks jobs contract

By Samantha Nelson REGION

— A union representing journalists employed by the Southern California News Group recently announced its members have approved their first employment contract nearly two months after threatening to strike.

The Southern California News Group Guild — representing 125 members across 11 newsrooms, including the Orange County Register and L.A. Daily News — confirmed that 93% of its members voted on Nov. 15 to ratify a contract with the media company’s owner, New York-based investment firm Alden Global Capital.

The contract ratification vote followed two years of negotiations and the guild’s strike authorization vote in September, in which over 94% of members voted in favor of a strike.

“The gains in this contract will be life-changing to Guild members, especially those at the bottom of the pay scale. Some of those people are veteran colleagues who have not received a raise in over a decade,” said Charlie Vargas, reporter and member of the Guild’s contract actions team. “The other new members, both current and future ones, will get to start their careers with a bit of a higher leg up to contribute to a profession in dire need of committed journalists. This commitment to them all is a step in the right direction in the future of journalism.”

The new contract states that members will receive an average 12% pay raise over two years, with some long-serving, underpaid employees seeing increases of more than 48%. All members are guaranteed at least a 6% raise over two years.

O’side fined for sewage spill

In 2020, storm overflow polluted local waterways

By City News Service

OCEANSIDE — The city of Oceanside has agreed this week to pay $1.5 million for nearly two million gallons of sewage that overflowed at a lift station and wastewater treatment plant during a major rainstorm in 2020.

room owners,” said Sean Emery, an SCNG reporter and guild unit chair. “For the first time in many, many years our members will see much needed raises, particularly those who have struggled to get by on the lowest end of the pay scale. We have the power of our members to thank for this significant step forward.”

The Southern California News Group is a subsidiary of MediaNews Group, a Denver-based company owned by Alden Global. Known in the industry as a “vulture fund” and “the destroyer of newspapers,” Alden Global owns more than 200 daily newspapers and has a reputation for cutting costs and staff to boost profits.

Last year, Alden Global purchased the San Diego Union-Tribune in a controversial sale by L.A. Times owner and billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong.

The Private Equity Stakeholder Project reports that Alden Global has recently expanded into the mobile home sector, spending over $275 million to acquire more than 10,000 manufactured housing lots over the past four years. During this time, rents in several of these lots have increased by 50 to 100%.

“This is a hard-fought first step in a continuing process of pressuring the company to do the moral thing,” said Mindy Schauer, a photojournalist and member of the bargaining committee.

“We will keep fighting for what our hard-working employees deserve.”

Southern California News Group journalists voted to unionize in June 2021, joining Media Guild of the West, the Los Angeles-based local of The NewsGuild-CWA that represents journalists in Southern California, Arizona and Texas.

“This is a first step in repairing some of the damage that Wall Street has done to local journalism and to Main Street here in Southern California,” said Matt Pearce, president of Media Guild of the West. “These journalists stood up, demanded what was fair, and now the Southern California News Group is set to add at least $700,000 of new investment into their journalism serving our communities at a time when many of our other local newsrooms have been making cutbacks.”

The April 2020 heavy rainfall led to over 900,000 gallons of untreated sewage discharged from the Buena Vista Lift Station and around 820,000 gallons of sewage from the San Luis Rey Water Reclamation Facility, according to the State Water Resources Control Board.

The lift station discharges sent sewage into Buena Vista Creek and Buena Vista Lagoon, while the water reclamation facility’s sewage was released into the Windmill and Pilgrim creeks, flowing eventually into the San Luis Rey River.

The settlement was reached between the city and the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board.

As part of the agreement, Oceanside received a 10% penalty reduction if it agreed to conduct a feasibility study on how to prevent similar overflows in the future.

The San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board approved the settlement last week.

“Sewage spills are one of the most significant impacts to local water and public health,’’ said the board’s executive officer,

Maria A. Juarez Vista November 15, 2024

Barry Gelernt Oceanside November 9, 2024

David Gibson. “We can’t assume that the rainfall pattern of the last 50 years will be the same over the next 50 years. Today’s action by the board reinforces the need for local agencies to plan and harden sewage systems to manage these flows and prevent failures that may result from these atmospheric river storm events.’’

Residents sue

South Bay water treatment plant

A lawsuit was announced Nov. 18 on behalf of a group of South Bay residents affected by raw sewage allegedly discharged from the South Bay International Water Treatment Plant and flowing into the waters of southern San Diego County.

The complaint filed last Friday in San Diego Superior Court alleges Veolia, which was contracted by the International Boundary

and Water Commission to operate, manage and maintain the plant, has failed to prevent hundreds of such sewage discharges over the years.

The California Coastal Commission reported last year that more than 100 billion gallons of transboundary flows have been discharged from Mexico into Southern California over the past five years, and the complaint alleges, “Much of this contamination is directly attributable to the defendants’ failures.’’

Veolia issued a statement in response, saying it has properly maintained the plant and that the U.S. and Mexican governments have failed to fund or implement solutions, such as additional infrastructure to help manage a surge in “unprecedented’’ sewage flows.

In a separate statement issued last month, Veolia said a population boom in Tijuana has also played a large role in contributing to

a volume of transboundary flows the plant wasn’t originally designed to handle.

Along with health concerns — headaches, nausea and respiratory issues — attorneys with Frantz Law Group, which filed the lawsuit, said the pollutants have led directly to numerous beach closures, boil water notices and requirements on keeping South Bay schoolchildren indoors.

The complaint states that through the various spills, leaks and discharges of sewage, Veolia is in violation of its state permits under the Federal Clean Water Act.

Local leaders continue to grapple with the sewage crisis and have sought assistance from the federal government.

San Diego County has requested the declaration of a national state of emergency and the San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted last month to potentially pursue litigation of its own.

CHRIS SWIMLEY, owner of Machine Print Shop.

Like many denizens of southern California, my bride and I frequently end our day with a glass of wine.

Being so close to many local wineries, it was probably inevitable that we would end up joining a wine club. You know the deal: They pick their latest releases for you every few months and either ship them to you or you can go pick them up.

Plus there’s always a free glass of wine awaiting you to encourage you to visit…and buy more stuff.

Since we both spend way too much time at our desks (and we live so close to the winery), we use the bi-monthly releases as an excuse to take a day to pick up our shipment. Which is why we traveled to Temecula this past weekend for a drink and lunch with some friends.

Being both a writer and a communications professional, messaging is very important to me. I understand how critical it is to make every word work toward achieving your objective, and believe that everything is marketing-related.

This explains why the name of the red wine we had collected – Libido –struck me. Such a moniker demands attention while screaming passion and unbridled lust.

We eagerly turned to the label on the bottle’s reverse, containing a story romancing the wine we’d purchased. We anticipated something hot and steamy speaking of the wine’s color matching her lips…or perhaps the bloodshot rage in a jealous husband’s eyes.

No such luck. Instead, we read of a traveler being welcomed to someone’s home. It was nice, but didn’t fulfill the promise made by the product’s name.

As we headed out of town, I found myself driving behind a truck for Personal Plumbing. Now, when I hear the phrase “personal plumbing,” my mind goes to my urologist’s office. So maybe there was a better way for this company to have made the same point.

The bottom line is this: Words do matter. Just saying whatever you want without considering the impact on the reader is going to confuse customers and/or make you lose opportunities.

And if you see your message from the other person’s perspective, you might be surprised to realize that sometimes you sound silly, or you’re leaving money on the table.

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

By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS — The

Encinitas City Council unanimously approved an emergency declaration last week to address safety concerns at the recently shuttered Fire Station 1 and advance efforts to find a temporary relocation site for fire crews.

The station, built in 1957 and located at 415 2nd Street, was closed on Oct. 8 after an assessment deemed the structure unsafe due to inadequate seismic reinforcement.

During the Nov. 13 meeting, Fire Chief Josh Gordon detailed the urgent need for temporary accommodations to ensure continued fire services west of the railroad tracks, an area with the city’s highest call volume.

Gordon said since fire crews were moved to Fire Station 3 on Orpheus Avenue, response times in the district have increased and now exceed the city's adopted eight-minute response standard.

According to Gordon, a typical response time is around six minutes and 50 seconds.

Several locations were reviewed for the temporary fire station, including the Moonlight Beach parking lot and City Hall, but logistical challenges and zoning restrictions limited their

feasibility.

Gordon recommended the Pacific View Cultural Arts Center as the most viable option due to its location west of the tracks and access to existing utilities.

However, council members raised concerns about the visual and functional impact of a temporary fire station on the newly renovated Pacific View campus, a $15 million project (from purchasing the school to renovating the site) developed as an arts and cultural space with significant community investment.

Councilmember Joy Lyndes said it’s important to maintain Pacific View's role in the arts.

“We need to be respectful to the investment in that asset that we’ve put in so far,” Lyndes said. “I think visually, we need to keep the fire station from blocking the structure, but also, functionally, people will want to use that space to get to their classes and to maybe even meet their friends and neighbors outside that space.”

Fiscal implications also came into focus, with the estimated cost for the temporary structure totaling $1.9 million. The council also discussed possible alternatives, including constructing a temporary replacement station after demolishing the original

Fire Station 1 building, but Gordon cited complications with that proposal.

“I'm not sure how long demolishing would take, plus I know there's some asbestos and lead issues in there, but we could end up doing that,” Gordon said regarding the proposal to build a temporary site at the current Fire Station 1 location. “The only obstacle we'd run into is if we determine we're going to build a new fire station there, then we'd have to relocate that [temporary] fire station.”

The council decided to form a subcommittee, including Mayor Tony Kranz and Councilmember and Mayor-elect Bruce Ehlers, to further investigate potential alternatives. The subcommittee aims to report back by early December to keep the process moving forward.

The council approved the emergency declaration, ensuring city officials can continue exploring options while maintaining public safety and fiscal responsibility. The temporary relocation remains an open matter as the subcommittee conducts further review.

“We’ll deal with it pretty urgently,” Kranz said. “It's going to be a challenge to come up with a better idea, but we're going to do our best, and we'll do it as quickly as possible.”

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — The Oceanside

Unified School District has approved a plan to install solar panels on parking shade structures and electric vehicle charging stations across its campuses at no cost to the district, marking a significant step toward sustainability and cost savings.

The school board on Nov. 12 approved a power purchase agreement with Veregy, a clean energy solutions company, to install solar arrays at all 22 school sites.

According to Mark Kummelehne, the district’s director of facilities, planning and construction, the agreement also includes the installation of approximately 88 EV charging stations.

Under the agreement, Veregy will cover all design, installation, and maintenance costs while selling the generated electricity to the district at a fixed, competitive rate. The district expects to save $500,000 annually as a result.

The total cost of the project, estimated at $25 to $30 million, will be fully funded by the PPA.

“This partnership with Veregy represents OUSD’s commitment to sustainable, fiscally responsible energy solutions that directly benefit our schools and community,” said Superintendent Julie Vitale. “We are proud to be leading the way in implementing renewable energy solutions that align with our environmental goals and provide significant cost savings to the district.”

The solar initiative aligns with the district’s

broader goals of reducing energy usage and fostering environmental responsibility without requiring upfront financial investment.

Oceanside Unified has been working with Veregy since 2021 on energy efficiency projects, including HVAC upgrades, and has been planning the solar rollout since then.

Kummelehne noted that by taking the time to research and plan, the district is now positioned to implement newer, more efficient technologies.

Kummelehne acknowledged that the district is catching up with other regional school systems that have already adopted solar energy.

“I think it’s a good gig,” he said, adding that the energy savings are particularly timely as costs continue to rise.

The first phase of the project, covering at least 11 school sites, is expected to be completed by December 2025.

As a result of what investigators called “Operation Bear Claw,” Ruben Tamrazian, 26, of Glendale; Ararat Chirkinian, 39, of Glendale; Vahe Muradkhanyan, 32, of Glendale; and Alfiya Zuckerman, 39, of Valley Village, are all facing charges of insurance fraud and conspiracy, the state agency said.

The suspects allegedly claimed to an insurance company that in January, a bear climbed inside their 2010 Rolls Royce Ghost in Lake Arrowhead and damaged the interior, and they provided video footage to the insurer to support the claim, according to the DOI.

“Upon further scrutiny of the video, the investigation determined the bear was actually a person in a bear costume,” the agency stated.

Investigators with the Department of Insurance, Glendale Police Department and California Highway Patrol then determined the same suspects had submitted similar insurance claims

Odd Files

Crème de la Weird

On Nov. 7, the South China Morning Post reported an uproar following a social media post depicting a small child urinating on a table full of food.

The baby’s mother captured the moment on video when her child sprayed the breakfast table with urine, then proudly revealed that the family had continued to eat the food.

The Beijing mom commented that they “rarely put disposable diapers on him ... We do not cover it because it is better not to interrupt the child while he is urinating.” [South China Morning Post, 11/7/2024]

Recurring Theme

On Nov. 8, police in Los Angeles arrested a man who had apparently been living in the crawl space beneath a 92-yearold woman’s home, The New York Times reported.

She had heard unusual noises from inside her house and assumed they were animals, but when family members heard knocking, they called police.

When officers arrived, the alleged squatter, Isaac

of damage to two other vehicles at the same location on the same date — a 2015 Mercedes G63 AMG and a 2022 Mercedes E350 — and they also provided video in those claims.

“To further ensure it was not actually a bear in the video, the department had a biologist from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife review the three alleged bear videos and they also opined

Betancourt, 27, who was naked, would not come out from under the home. Betancourt had to be forced out with gas; he was released after his arrest for trespassing. The homeowner’s son-in-law, Ricardo Silva, said the entrances to the crawl space would be secured. “It’s probably not uncommon, you know,” Silva said, “in this day and age, people are looking for shelter.” [NY Times, 11/13/2024]

The Aristocrats

Auction house Reeman Dansie in Colchester, England, announced that a slice of wedding cake from the marriage of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip has been purchased for $2,831, United Press International reported. The little slice of history, part of a 500-pound cake served at the Nov. 20, 1947, wedding, had been given as a gift to Marion Polson, a housekeeper at Holyrood House in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was preserved in a box bearing the then-princess’s insignia and included a letter from the bride. No word on how it tasted. [UPI, 11/11/2024]

it was clearly a human in a bear suit,” according to the Department of Insurance.

“After executing a search warrant, detectives found the bear costume in the suspects’ home.”

The alleged fraud led to a loss of $141,839 by the insurance companies, according to the DOI. The case is being prosecuted by the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office.

International reported.

“We deeply regret this unfortunate error,” the company said in a statement. It was unclear how many dolls carried the misprint, but the company said they were mostly sold in the United States. Mattel helpfully advises people who have purchased products with the misprint to dispose of the boxes. [UPI, 11/11/2024]

Awesome!

Aaron Fowler, a surfer in Denmark, Western Australia, was riding the waves on Nov. 1 when he spotted an unusual bird, the Albany Advertiser reported.

“There was this big bird in the water ... and it just stood up and waddled right over to us,” he said. The emperor penguin had swum thousands of kilometers from Antarctica and was malnourished; it was given into the care of the University of Western Australia’s School of Biological Sciences, where its rehabilitation is expected to last a few weeks.

One expert there said the penguins are never observed north of the 60th parallel south. “It was kind of funny,” Fowler said, “like as he came out of the water, he went to do a tummy slide — like I guess he’s used to on the ice — and he just did a kind of face-plant in the sand ... and looked a bit shocked.” [Albany Advertiser, 11/5/2024]

O’side seeks artists for downtown mural

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — A downtown business organization is asking artists to submit their ideas for a mural to enliven the bland, gray walls of an underground pedestrian tunnel at the Oceanside Transit Center.

MainStreet Oceanside has launched a call for artists to transform the tunnel “into a large-scale art project that reflects Oceanside’s cultural and environmental character” that thousands of daily commuters could experience.

The project is part of MainStreet’s “Art That Excites” program, which seeks to enhance the downtown area’s cultural and visual landscape through various public art pieces like the recently completed mural on the Oceanside Transit Center’s parking garage, completed by San Diego artist Jonny Pucci.

“This tunnel project represents a wonderful collaboration with the local neighborhood, MainStreet Oceanside and NCTD to create a community-inspired representation of

suggested that an amended measure be put before voters in 2026.

“Measure Z did help move the needle forward, but we really need to amend the measure to make sure our existing businesses can remain successful and competitive in a quickly-changing and evolving industry,” said Green.

The council unanimously agreed to direct staff to create draft ballot language. Other council members, including Mayor John Franklin, agreed that the time was right to make some updates.

“We’re at a place where probably the cannabis industry and voters would support that,” said Franklin. “It does look like we need to go back to the people, and I think it’s a good opportunity too, because I think there’s some things the dispensary owners would like fixed and the city would like fixed, and it would probably give us an opportunity to set some things right.”

Several cannabis lounges have opened in recent years throughout California. The first lounge in San Diego County, Sessions by

Del Mar council fails to fill seat

Officials agree to hold vacancy through 2026

By Leo Place DEL MAR —

The Del Mar City Council will conduct its business one member short for the next two years after its four current members failed to take action to fill a vacancy.

Oceanside’s unique history and diverse culture while increasing the space’s desirability and enjoyment for both locals and visitors,” said Jane Marshall, president of the Oceanside Coastal Neighborhood Association and design committee liaison for MainStreet Oceanside.

The total project cost for the Oceanside pedestrian tunnel is estimated to be approximately $231,000.

North County Transit District received a $144,000 grant from the California Department of Transportation’s Clean California Local Grant program to support the pedestrian tunnel art project. The grant will also fund additional security improvements including cameras and speakers that aim to increase safety.

The request for qualifications is open to all artists and collaborative artist teams. The selected artist or team will receive $165,000 for the project.

The council has been operating with four members since the retirement of Dwight Worden in September, and had until this month to decide how to fill the seat. The council had the option to appoint a new member to serve the remaining two years of Worden’s term, allow voters to select a replacement through a special election, or leave the seat vacant.

On Monday, the council deadlocked in a 2-2 vote over whether to proceed with a special election in May of 2025, failing for a third time to move forward with filling the seat. This means the seat will not be filled until the next regularly scheduled general election in 2026.

Council members Terry Gaasterland and Dan Quirk voted in favor of proceeding with the special election, and Tracy Martinez and Mayor Dave Druker voted in opposition, arguing that the projected $250,000 cost for the election was not justified.

“I cannot vote to have a special election,” Druker said, stating that he would rather leave the seat vacant.

Gaasterland and Quirk argued that voters should be able to choose their representative if the council cannot.

“We have not been able to settle on one candidate. To me, that proves we have a range of interests and a range of voices,” said Gaasterland. “At this point, our council has failed, and it’s time for the people to choose who they want in the fifth seat.”

The council also reached deadlocks when voting on potential appointees on two separate occasions last month. On Oct. 7, they came to a split vote between Del Mar Finance Committee member Jeff Sturgis and former Planning Commissioner Ted Bakker, and then again between Sturgis and Planning Commissioner Jas Grewel on Oct. 21.

Residents have criticized the council for not being able to make an appointment and have been split on how the city should proceed. On Monday, several advised the city against dropping a quarter of a million dollars

the Bay, is opening soon in National City and will feature a recreational dispensary in addition to a restaurant atmosphere where patrons can order and consume cannabis products.

Vista residents have come forward both in support of and opposition to cannabis lounges. Heidi Whitman said many people who use cannabis medicinally are not technically

permitted to smoke in their rental apartments or homes and that lounges provide the safe space they need.

“Please support amending Measure Z to allow your constituents legal access to use their medicine,” Whitman said.

Some residents said these lounges would pose health risks to employees and patrons and also produce smoke smells that

would bother nearby businesses and pedestrians. Others argued that Vista has enough cannabis businesses and that allowing even more helps to normalize cannabis and sends the wrong message to youth.

“This move poses significant public health risks not only to patrons in these lounges, but also to employees, community members, and employees of nearby

Mar’s council is set to look substantially different come January. Druker will be retiring after nearly two decades on the council, and newcomer John Spelich will take a seat after being elected earlier this month. (He ran uncontested along with Martinez and Quirk, who were both elected to second terms.)

Grewel, whose appointment bid was supported by Martinez and Druker last month, accused Quirk and Gaasterland of scheming to get Sturgis on the council. On Monday, she shared an email in which Quirk said he would try to convince other council members to support Sturgis’ appointment.

on a special election and noted that the council has been able to find consensus on the majority of issues.

They also noted that the process of filling the vacancy has become too political.

“I think we need to consider taking a pause,” said Del Mar resident Carol Kerridge. “It has become a huge power struggle among neighbors and friends.”

However, others said the council should do everything possible to avoid having a long-term vacancy and prevent further deadlocks that could result in city business not moving forward.

“Our City Council cannot be an even number, which in my opinion, has been very obvious this past month. You have been unable to appoint a fifth member. We cannot have a stalemate the next two years,” Camilla Rang, another local resident, said.

Vacancy aside, Del

Quirk did not shy away from stating that this was a political process and that he supported Sturgis because he believed he would be a favorable swing vote.

“I think someone like Jeff [Sturgis] would, yes, support me, which is why I’m in favor of someone like that,” he said.

Quirk also claimed that Martinez and Druker were only opposed to a special election because Sturgis would likely win and repeated his assertion that $250,000 is an inconsequential amount of money to spend for this process.

Druker argued that Del Mar voters’ approval of a salary increase for council members in the recent election proves that residents trust the council to make the right choice. At the same meeting, the council unanimously agreed for city staff to continue investigating alternate financing options for the city’s utilities undergrounding project after seeing costs skyrocket above initial projections.

businesses who may be exposed to secondhand and thirdhand marijuana smoke,” said resident Megan Stewart.

City officials said the city’s existing dispensaries take their safety regulations seriously, particularly when it comes to youth. Franklin said that none of the local dispensaries have ever failed a youth decoy operation performed by the Sheriff’s Department. When it comes to smoke, Green said lounges have stringent filtration standards and that some consumption lounges are for ingestible (edible) cannabis only.

Councilmember Corin-

na Contreras also noted that she gets complaints from constituents about having to smell marijuana smoke and that having dedicated lounges for consumption could help address this.

“This is us empowering the community to make the decision on their own,” Contreras said.

Vista has been a leader in North County in supporting cannabis businesses.

Last month, the City Council discussed the possibility of permitting cannabis events at Brengle Terrace Park. In the coming months, the council will review another policy that would allow these events in other public areas.

Consumer group warns of buying unsafe toys

Survey: Smart toys, water beads pose safety risks

By City News Service

REGION —

Parents

in Southern California know the dangers of recalled and counterfeit toys for children as the holiday season fast approaches, but gift items shipped from overseas can be equally hazardous, a consumer advocate group warned this week.

That’s because when a toy or other product is purchased online from another country and shipped directly to a consumer in the United States, it generally does not get inspected before it’s delivered, according to the California Public Interest Research Group.

“Once the products arrive at your home or in the warehouse of an online seller, if regulators find out about any dangers — from consumers, retailers or their own investigators — they often are powerless to stop the online sales or take the sellers to court to pursue recalls,’’ CALPIRG’s annual Trouble in Toyland report says.

tices by U.S. authorities are games, infant busy boards, educational toys, children’s jewelry, blocks, plastic rideon toys, baby teethers and stuffed animals, consumer advocates said.

The proliferation of toys from overseas manufacturers that are often sold under

the radar online is a recent phenomenon, CALPIRG’s report stated.

The Trouble in Toyland survey also focused on concerns about water beads, smart toys that invade children’s privacy, high-powered magnets, button cell batteries and the ease with which consumers can still buy recalled toys, even though it’s illegal to sell them.

serted into an ear canal, the water beads absorb bodily fluids and expand,’’ CALPIRG said in the report. “This can and has led to a blocked airway, intestinal or bowel blockage, lung or ear damage and other life-altering injuries.’’

The report said that about 7,800 children were treated in emergency rooms from 2016 through 2022 for injuries or illnesses caused by water beads, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

As for so-called “smart’’ toys, the group advised parents to find out whether the item is collecting information about the child, or transferring such information to another company besides the manufacturer.

“Best to find manufacturers and toys that don’t share any data at all,’’ according to the report.

The 2024 survey, issued Tuesday, concludes that the growing problem of unregulated overseas shipments of toys and other items are made possible by aggressive marketing from international sellers, incomplete domestic laws and the popularity of online shopping that surged during the coronavirus pandemic.

Officials often have no idea what’s coming into the country because of legal loopholes and the sheer volume of shipments, accord-

The consumer group said that direct-to-consumer items from another country — while inexpensive and easy to find — can put families at risk. Online retailers, which don’t have to follow

the same laws as brick-andmortar stores, and lower-tier physical stores that may not vet sellers as well as larger chains, may also market items that can be hazards, CALPIRG said.

Dr. Helen Arbogast, manager of the Injury Prevention Program at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, said choke hazards for children are an ever- present danger when buying toys. She called out button batteries — those flat cell batteries that look like air tags — as being of particular concern this season, especially for children under 5 years old.

Arbogast suggested a sure test of an item to determine its danger of causing choking. If an item falls through a toilet paper roll, “it is a choke hazard,’’ she said.

Lots of island love at L&L Hawaiian Barbecue

While I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing Hawaiian plate lunch on the islands, when I think about it now, my mind always drifts back to Kealani’s on D Street in downtown Encinitas.

Our office was in the area now occupied by Sun Bum, and it was an easy walk to lunch and my introduction to this style of food. Manhattan Giant Pizza was next door, and it was a special block for sure that I still miss.

Memories aside, I was reminded of this cuisine recently while driving through Oceanside and passing by L&L Hawaiian Barbecue. It had been a while, so I thought it would be perfect to revisit and give this place a shot. They definitely have some history in the area and deep Hawaiian roots.

Founded in Honolulu as L&L Dairy in 1952, L&L became a popular eatery in Hawaii. The iconic L&L Hawai’i brand was established in 1976 by Eddie Flores, Jr., who, with partner Johnson Kam, grew the company into a popular international restaurant franchise specializing in Hawaiian cuisine.

They introduced L&L to the U.S. mainland in 1999, when most Californians were unfamiliar with the plate lunch, renaming it L&L Hawaiian Barbecue to appeal to the masses.

Since then, the concept has expanded to over 200 L&L Hawaiian Barbecue restaurants in Hawaii, California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, Utah, Texas, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Japan.

Now, on to the history of the plate lunch, also known to many as “the state food of Hawaii.” The plate lunch dates back to 19th-century laborers on sugar plantations and pineapple fields, who brought rice and leftovers to work in compartmentalized tins.

Meals were often shared, resulting in a mix of recipes from Japan, China, the Philippines, Portugal, Korea, and even New England. This was culinary fusion at its core. Given the heavy nature of some of these dishes, were the workers allowed food coma-induced naps or siestas after eating? I think not.

And then there’s the whole Spam connection to the plate lunch and Hawaiian cuisine in general. Its roots go back to World War II when the U.S. military used Spam as a reliable source of food for G.I.s. It

was also one of the scarce food rations available to the island population and became an essential part of their cuisine.

Spam Musubi was an offshoot of this and a tasty delight comprised of grilled Spam on rice wrapped in dried seaweed, served as is or with an egg. L&L does it this way and also offers it in Spam Saimin, a noodle soup unique to Hawaii served with Spam and fresh green onion.

That is a fine segue to the food offerings at L&L, which is what this is all about. I would strongly suggest one of their lighter portions if you hit L&L for lunch — unless you have some time after for that aforementioned food coma or siesta.

Chicken katsu is a great

example of that, along with the Lighter Garlic Shrimp, Lighter BBQ Chicken, or possibly even the BBQ Beef or Chicken Bowl. Exercise some portion control and split it into two meals.

My peak Kealani’s indulgences were almost 20 years ago when there may have been slightly hungover weekdays in my life, and I discovered the Loco Moco as a desirable relief for those symptoms. The combination of savory hamburger patties over rice topped with brown gravy and two fried eggs with a Mexican Coke seemed like the perfect meal at the time.

I should mention that L&L’s menu has expanded beyond plate lunch staples into some very alluring directions. I noticed Pork Adobo, Shanghai Lumpia,

and macaroni salad was plenty hearty enough, with a portion sizable enough for two meals. I loved the Chicken Katsu Curry, and again, a mini portion was fine.

Egg Rolls, Portuguese Sausage, Beef Curry, and a nice selection of burgers and sandwiches.

I’m looking forward to exploring the menu further, as my sampling to date has been primarily on the plate lunch offerings, and all of those were spot on. The mini Kalua Pork with cabbage and sides of white rice

One new offering to me is the Kalua Pork and Lau Lau, which consists of Hawaiian-style pulled pork with fish and taro leaves. And being a fan of unique variations on surf and turf, the Seafood Combo with fried fish, shrimp, and a choice of beef, chicken, or short rib sounds like another winner.

There are plenty of

breakfast options, Keiki (kid’s) meals, and, of course, plenty of beverages, including Hawaiian Sun, which just seems to be the natural choice to go with your island experience. In addition to the Oceanside location on Coast Highway 101 and Oceanside Boulevard, there are locations in San Marcos and San Diego. Learn more and check out a sample menu at www. hawaiianbarbecue.com. Please note that individual location menus are more extensive than what is shown on the main menu.

Lightscape back for third year in Encinitas

Botanic Garden welcomes global holiday sensation

By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS

— The San Diego Botanic Garden will welcome back its popular Lightscape event for a third year, offering an illuminated holiday experience with new artistic

installations along a onemile trail.

From Nov. 15 through Jan. 5, visitors will encounter vivid displays, including tunnels of light, illuminated California poppies, and a flame skimmer dragonfly, all designed to bring a fresh, immersive perspective to the garden’s 37-acre grounds.

The Lightscape exhibit, produced in association with Sony Music and Cul-

ture Creative, has gained global acclaim with successful displays in cities like London, Chicago, Melbourne and New York.

This year, the San Diego show will offer returning favorites along with new installations to engage visitors of all ages.

“We are thrilled to welcome Lightscape back to San Diego Botanic Garden for a third year,” Ari Novy, the Garden’s president and

CEO, said in a statement.

“This event has grown to become a holiday tradition for so many, offering new and exciting installations for visitors of all ages to enjoy each year. We look forward to transforming the Garden into an enchanting after-dark experience where family and friends can celebrate and make memories together.”

The trail will feature opportunities to enjoy sea-

sonal treats and drinks along the route, enhancing the festive atmosphere.

Tickets start at $26 for adults and $15 for children aged 3-12 and are free for children 2 and under. Discounts are available for Garden members and active or combat-disabled military personnel with identification.

Parking costs $10 in advance or $20 on the day of the event, and entry

times are staggered every 15 minutes.

Founded in 1970, the San Diego Botanic Garden features more than 5,300 plant species across four miles of trails and an 8,000-square-foot conservatory.

The garden plays a key role in conservation and plant science, working to address challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss.

was initially established, but has been operating without the land use approvals normally included with an RV park,” said City Manager John Conley. “As long as they were happy doing their thing on their own, we didn’t go down to mess with them.”

Byzak said Solutions for Change has also been offering residents resources, including referrals to other agencies and the option of entering their own programming.

“Nobody wants to see anybody without a place to stay,” he said.

Hannah Gailey, director of Green Oak Ranch Ministries, said the organization is working with the city, San Diego Rescue Mission, and other organizations to find affordable housing options for RV park residents.

“The evictions were incredibly difficult and we are sad to say goodbye to the community that has been built. The families in the RV Park homeschooled together, shared meals, received weekly drop offs from the local food bank, and were incredibly supportive of

each other. They were truly doing life together. While most residents have found new homes, a few are struggling to find affordable solutions,” Gailey said.

Coletta, a park resident who asked to use only her first name, moved into the park in April with her husband and three young daughters. She did not

know at the time that the park was unpermitted or that she would be evicted so soon.

“When we moved in in April, we didn’t know it was

gonna come to this,” Coletta said. She has faced several challenges in finding a new place to live, as many affordable RV parks do not

accept RVs older than 10 or 12 years — hers is around 20 years old. If she parks on the street or in someone’s backyard, she worries that they will be forced to leave again if neighbors complain. (Vista’s new camping ban also prohibits sleeping in vehicles and RVs on city streets.)

Coletta said Green Oak Ranch Ministries has offered shared housing opportunities but worries about the safety of living with strangers.

She is sad to lose the RV park’s community, where she said it feels safe for her kids to play outdoors and everyone looks out for one another.

“We’re really just praying. We know something is gonna work out somehow,” she said.

Boatload of holiday fun in and around San Diego

Ghit the road

ondolier Luke “Luciano” Andreen surprises us with a question: “Would you like me to sing a song?”

Absolutely.

“In English or Italian?”

Since we are sitting in a Venetian gondola slipping effortlessly through the canals of Coronado Cays, Italian seems the appropriate choice.

And a beautiful performance it is.

“The song is from the opera ‘I Puritani’ by Vincenzo Bellini,” says Andreen, who has traded the traditional gondolier’s sunhat and striped shirt for a Santa hat and green, tinsel-laden jacket. “The character is singing about how he just lost the love of his life and is upset about it.”

Andreen’s aria ends our 50-minute gondola ride with a flourish. We’ve cruised through one of the county’s most prestigious neighborhoods where one waterfront home lists for $43 million. Having worked in real estate research, Andreen also serves as our historian for mansions and yachts in “The Cays.”

“Some of these houses

quite different,” says Chief Operations and Experience Officer Tomoko Kuta, including the music. “We want to cover a range of time periods because of the range of ages of visitors.” Runs through Jan. 5.

have been torn down and rebuilt three times,” he says of the enclave where prices begin at $3 million. This degree of wealth is hard to grasp, as well

as the fact that our serene gondola ride is within view of the phrenetic city across the bay, but we feel a million miles away and in the holiday spirit.

“Most people are surprised at how calming the ride is,” says Long Beach native Sean Jamieson, founder of The Gondola Company of Coronado 25 years ago. “As a gondolier, you are dealing with people that are in a much better mood than as a waiter.”

Jamieson’s love for boating is a logical extension of his childhood in Long Beach.

“We didn’t have parks. We had the beaches and the bays. We were in the water at all times, whether we were surfing or going fast behind a ski boat or slowly in a gondola.”

Jamieson and his former partner constructed three of the company’s six

gondolas; five carry six passengers; one carries 13. Company gondoliers must learn to master the unusual skill of propelling the boat with a single oar from only one side.

“In Venice, the canals are narrow and there isn’t room for two oars,” Jamieson says.

Southern California offers many additional ways to celebrate the holidays:

• Lightscape – Sparkly dragonflies, floating golden poppies, illuminated trails and glowing stars are just a few of the shiny art installations in the one-mile long a dazzling holiday exhibit of lights, color and music at the San Diego Botanic Garden. “Each installation is

• Winter Fest OC – It’s the 10th year for this Orange County holiday event that features snow play, ice tubing, ice skating, carnival rides and more. Nov. 22 to Jan. 5 at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa.

• Big Bear Lake — Winter has arrived at this alpine town at 7,000 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains. That means it’s time for Big Bear Snow Play, SoCal’s largest snow-tubing hill. Two Magic Carpet lifts mean it’s nothing but downhill fun.

• Bahia Resort, Catamaran Resort and Lodge at Torrey Pines — Iconic San Diego resorts offer a plethora of holiday activities for locals, including Whoville/Grinch-themed Jingle Belle Cruises on Mission Bay, gingerbread houses display, ringside seats for the Mission Bay Parade of Lights and more.

RAIN, WIND, AND FIRE...

Every year there are over twenty thousand chimney/ fireplace related house fires in the US alone. Losses to homes as a result of chimney fires, leaks and wind damage exceeds one hundred million dollars annually in the US.

PROJECT CASE NUMBERS: MULTI-004190-2020, SUB-004194-2020, DR-004191-2020, CPP-003928-2020

Acting as a lead agency for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City of Encinitas, Development Services Department, is issuing this Notice of Preparation (NOP) of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed Olivenhain Estates Residential project.

A Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared to evaluate the potential environmental e ects of the proposed project. The EIR will identify any potential signi cant impacts, propose feasible mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate potentially signi cant environmental impacts, and discuss feasible alternatives to the project that may accomplish basic project objectives while lessening or eliminating any of the project’s signi cant impacts.

It is anticipated that the EIR will focus on the following environmental issue areas: aesthetics, biological resources, cultural resources (archaeology); geology and soils (paleontological resources), hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology/water quality, noise, public services, transportation/tra c, and tribal cultural resources. All other topics identi ed in Appendix G to the CEQA Guidelines would be addressed in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15128. Other required sections of CEQA will be addressed including cumulative impacts and project alternatives.

For purposes of this notice, the City of Encinitas is soliciting the views of public agencies and other interested parties regarding the scope and content of the Draft EIR for the project. Comments on the Notice of Preparation document must be sent no later than December 23, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. to Christina Bustamante, Senior Planner, Development Services Department, via mail at 505 S.

Project Description

The project proposes the subdivision of a single lot into 16 lots using State Density Bonus Law; the construction of 14 single-family residential dwelling units (13 market-rate units and one (1) “very low” a ordable housing unit); as well as the construction of a private road (Lot A), an open space (Lot B), cut and ll grading thresholds exceeded, retaining walls exceeding six feet in height, and associated utility, drainage, stormwater, landscaping and roadway improvements (Project or proposed Project). The Project also includes construction of a portion of Trail Segment 82 along the Rancho Santa Fe Road project frontage. The project requests waivers as permitted under the State’s Density Bonus Law. Waiver requests allow projects to waive certain development standards that would physically preclude the construction of the project at the proposed density. The approximately 4.75-acre site is located at 105 S. Rancho Santa Fe Road, Encinitas, California and is bounded to the north by single-family residences, to the south by professional o ces, to the east by Peppertree Lane and to the west by Rancho Santa Fe Road (refer to Figure 1, Project Location).

The Project site is composed of a single parcel; County of San Diego Assessor Parcel Number (APN 259-221-57) and is located within the Rural Residential 2 (RR2) General Plan Land Use Designation and the Rural Residential 2 (RR-2) Zone. These land use and zoning designations are intended to support single-family residential uses. The Project site is not located within the Coastal Overlay Zone. City approval of density bonus, tentative map, and design review permit will be required to allow for project development.

Another oarfish ashore

By City News Service

ENCINITAS — For the second time this year, a rare deep-sea oarfish has washed ashore in San Diego County, giving scientists a chance to study the species without plumbing the depths of the ocean.

In early November, Scripps Institution of Oceanography doctoral candidate Alison Laferriere found the deceased 9.5foot specimen at Grandview Beach in Encinitas — just the 21st of its species documented to have washed up on California beaches since 1901, officials said.

The previous 12.25-foot-long fish was found in August by kayakers and snorkelers in La Jolla Cove.

Ben Frable, manager of the Scripps Oceanography Marine Vertebrate Collection – one of the largest collections of deep-sea fish in the world – contacted the NOAA Fisheries West Coast team to recover the specimen and transport it to the Southwest Fisheries Science Center, according to a Scripps statement.

“We took samples and froze the specimen awaiting further study and final preservation in the Marine Vertebrate Collection,” Frable said. “Like with the previous oarfish, this specimen and the samples taken from it will be able to tell us much about the biology, anatomy, genomics and life history of oarfishes.”

It is unclear why two of the rarely seen, short-crested oarfish have washed up on local shores, Frable said.

“It may have to do with changes in ocean conditions and increased numbers of oarfish off our coast. Many researchers have suggested this as to why deep-water fish strand on beaches,” he said. “Sometimes it may be linked to broader shifts such as the El Niño and La Niña cycle, but this is not always the case. There was a weak El Niño earlier this year. This wash-up coincided with the recent red tide and Santa Ana winds last week, but many variables could lead to these strandings.”

The species has a long, scale-less, ribbon-like silvery body with dark spots.

A long red dorsal fin crest extends from the top of the head.

Often described as sea serpents, oarfish can grow to lengths of 30 feet and are the longest bony fish in the world. Oarfish have a mythical reputation as predictors of natural disasters and earthquakes. If someone finds an unusual or rare creature on the beach, they are encouraged to alert the local lifeguards. If in Southern California, members of the public can notify Scripps Institution of Oceanography at scrippsnews@ucsd.edu or 858-534-3624.

Many beaches may be marine protected areas, where taking of organisms – living or dead – is illegal.

Jobless rate rises to 4.7%

By City News Service

REGION — San Diego County's unemployment rate increased slightly in October to 4.7% from a revised 4.5% in August, and above the year- ago rate of 4.3%,according to figures released Nov. 15 by the state Employment Development Department.

October's rate compares to 5.4% for California and 3.9% for the nation as a whole during the same month.

Between September 2024 and October 2024, total nonfarm employment increased from 1,563,300 to 1,575,500, a gain of 12,200 jobs. Agricultural employment lost 100 jobs.

“This should not be approved until a suitable agreement is reached between Island View neighbors, the applicant, and the city,” said Bernard Minster, speaking on behalf of MASHE.

Minster said the group does not oppose the Torrey Crest project but seeks to collaborate with the city and developer to identify and address project shortcomings and mitigate its impact on the neighborhood.

The project has raised concerns from neighbors over potential safety issues due to increased traffic projections on Island View Lane, a narrow road that was originally used as a private drive to a now-abandoned home at 1190 Island View Lane.

Developer representative Brian Staver, whose family has owned the property for decades, described the project as an “environmentally responsible place to put 30 homes,” highlighting its proximity to schools, parks and other amenities.

“(The project is) walkable to schools of all levels … Oak Crest Middle School, San Dieguito Academy, to name a few of the closest ones,” Staver said. “Repeatedly, we have revised the project based on what

month-over gains for the second consecutive month, adding 3,800 positions. The majority — 2,300 — came from local government, with many of those in government educational services.

Trade, transportation and utilities posted the second-largest gain with 2,400 jobs added, 88% of which came in the retail trade subsector. Nearly every other industry sector saw some gains as well: Private education and health services with 2,200 new jobs and professional and business services, construction, financial activities, leisure and hospitality, and other services yielding a combined growth of 4,800 jobs.

In October, the only industry to lose jobs was man-

ufacturing, contracting by 1,000.

Compared to last year, total nonfarm employment increased by 11,200, while agricultural employment fell by 400 jobs.

The sector with the most jobs added was private education and health services, which saw gains of 12,000 — 84% of which was in the health care and social assistance subsector.

Six other sectors saw year-over gains for a combined total of 6,500 jobs added.

Three industry sectors lost employment over the year: manufacturing with 4,500 and professional and business services and information combining for 2,800 jobs lost.

During the meeting, Senior Planner J. Alfred Dichoso said the project, which includes three very low-income units, complies with state density bonus law and the city’s inclusionary housing ordinance.

While the appellant argued for more affordable units, Dichoso said the current proposal met all regulatory requirements.

“The property is zoned residential three, which allows for three dwelling units per acre with a minimum lot size of 14,500 square feet,” Dichoso said. “The project is surrounded by single-family development, with Oak Crest Middle School to the north and a private stable to the west.”

Mayor Tony Kranz expressed frustration with the project but said the city had no legal grounds to block it.

“I do find it somewhat ironic, I started … serving

on the City Council in 2012, and a couple months in, a very controversial density bonus project was heard on appeal, and it was baptism by fire, so to speak,” said Kranz, who will soon be succeeded by Mayor-elect Bruce Ehlers. “So here, at the end of my service on the City Council, I found myself in the same position with a density bonus project that is frustrating for me because of the impacts and the loss of space that people have grown to love.”

The council’s 4-0 vote also approved modifications to public road standards for improvements to Melba Road, preserving several mature trees.

However, the project will cause many other trees to be removed, which remains a contentious issue. Critics argued that replacement trees would be inadequate, with one speaker describing them as “skinny little sticks.”
