Teens defend exposé School pushes back on financial claims

By Laura Place

DEL MAR — Two Canyon Crest Academy seniors who published an investigative report about their school foundation’s financial practices are standing behind their work despite strong opposition from administrators and foundation leaders.

At the same time, many parents and community members are also applauding the students’ efforts and now demanding that the district examine how high school foundations manage their finances.

The 15-page report, titled “Ravens for Transparency,” was written by Kevin Wang and Litong Tian, both 17 years old and members of clubs supported by the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation.

Wang is involved in the robotics club, and Tian is involved in speech and debate and several other activities.

New Culinary Sensation in Carlsbad Village

Jalisco Cantina is a fresh new take on Mexican style and cuisine.

Started in Whitefish, Montana in 2018, and now at 2961 State Street in downtown Carlsbad, Jalisco Cantina is making “fresh casual” something worth trying. It’s about a great, laid-back environment that features exceptionally fresh fare, a wide variety of tequilas, and thoughtfully crafted cocktails. It is family-owned and quality-focused.

The name “Jalisco” combines two Nahuatl words (the language of the Aztecs) to mean “sandy place.” Jalisco is an area of central-coastal Mexico that is rich with picturesque landscapes, rolling hillsides and the magnificence of the blue agave plant. This region is the source for the tequila industry and home to the finest tequilas in the world.

“We take the time to make everything fresh every day,” said Jalisco’s founder, Dave Pike. “Our goal is to appeal to more than just your tastebuds, but to give all of your senses a total experience; something unique and wonderful from the food, drink, atmosphere, to the music, colors and textures.”

The Jalisco culture is filled with warm, welcoming people who embrace fresh ingredients in their dishes. This philosophy serves as inspiration for the cuisine at Jalisco Cantina. Their scratch kitchen offers creative and delicious fresh food choices that pair wonderfully with some of the finest tequila and handcrafted cocktails available. At Jalisco Cantina, you will enjoy their uniquely made dishes and specialty drinks which reflect a region and culture as vibrant as the Mexican sun.

Building a perfect meal of incredible flavors is so easy to do at Jalisco Cantina. There is a beautiful authenticity to their menu, with each dish sounding better than the next. It makes you want to try it all.

Start with the blackberry infused La Mora margarita or a hand-crafted Pineapple Mojito. Share a starter of Guacho Papas Fritas (fries) with birria, chihuahua cheese, pickled red onions, fresh jalapeno, lime cream and cilantro. You’ll go crazy over their Carnitas tacos with unctuous crispy pork shoulder or their Chile Relleno with blackened shrimp. And don’t forget to add a side dish of Corn Elotes with yummy jalapeno crema and tajin. It is all just a true flavor explosion.

Jalisco Cantina also offers a full bar with beer in bottles and draft as well as everything from chardonnay to rose to prosecco, and non-alcoholic options too. Their ambience is pure Carlsbad with an elevated but approachable design. Jalisco Cantina is open daily for walk-in, reservations and take-out. See you there!

Vista crafts policy for using cannabis revenue

City considers more deputies for DUI enforcement

By Laura Place

VISTA — Vista offi-

cials are hammering out details for an official policy regulating how the city spends millions of dollars in cannabis sales tax revenue each year.

Since 2021 — the city’s first full year of cannabis revenue — Vista has allocated $4 million each year to its general fund.

In the same year, the city also set aside around $466,000 annually for specific projects and programs, including funding a sheriff's deputy, two park rangers and bathroom maintenance.

At the Vista City Council’s Sept. 10 meeting, Councilmember Joe Green proposed a new policy to allocate 65% of cannabis revenue to the general fund with a floor of $4.46 million to maintain previous contributions, 15% for youth and educational scholarships and 20% for one-time projects.

“As the council that has overseen legislation of retail cannabis and the impacts in our city over the past four years, it only makes sense that we come up with a policy that can guide future councils on the most efficient and effective way to allocate these funds for our community,” Green said.

After much discussion, the council also directed the general fund contribution to fund an additional Sheriff’s deputy focused on DUI enforcement. With this addition, two deputy and two park ranger positions will be funded annually using cannabis dollars.

Vista has been a regional leader when it comes to marijuana business.

The citizens’ initiative, Measure Z, which passed in 2018, authorized up to 11 recreational marijuana shops in the city and established a 7% tax on all gross sales, and Vista was

the first North County city to permit local recreational cannabis dispensaries in 2021.

The city’s cannabis revenue has grown significantly since then, bringing in over $6.9 million total this past fiscal year.

Over the past few years, over $7 million in cannabis revenue have been allocated to youth prevention programs, scholarships, cannabis enforcement operations, park improvements, little libraries, street lighting, performing arts, and other programs.

“We are leading the

charge on how to responsibly use the public’s sales tax funds,” said Councilmember Corinna Contreras.

Using the council feedback, city staff will bring back a full policy for adoption at a future meeting, likely in October, according to city spokesman Fred Tracey.

Funding deputies with pot revenue

Much of the council’s discussion about a cannabis revenue policy focused on staffing in the Vista Sheriff’s Department, and whether cannabis funds

should be used to support new positions. This was also a point of disagreement among the council in 2021.

Vista Mayor John Franklin proposed allocating 18% of the city’s cannabis revenue toward two new deputy positions in perpetuity to better serve the city and reduce the strain on other deputies.

“We clearly have the money, and I believe community members agree that there would be widespread benefit,” Franklin said.

Sheriff’s Capt. John Boyce of the Vista Station said the force is in desperate need of additional deputies in its traffic unit, especially to handle DUI enforcement. Boyce said the city saw 284 DUI arrests and 162 DUI-related crashes in 2023, with numbers on track to be even higher this year.

However, Vista deputies are often busy with traffic collisions, Boyce said. By having a designated DUI deputy, similar to the model used by Carlsbad Police Department, he hopes to step up enforcement and incentivize people not to drive under the influence.

“Right now, we have a lot of traffic collisions that tie up our deputies’ time, so

DUI enforcement is when they have free time,” Boyce said. “We have several deputies here in our traffic division that are waiting for this day, that we would have designated DUI enforcement.”

City Manager John Conley said the total annual cost for a new deputy would be around $420,000.

Besides Franklin, council members were initially reluctant to use cannabis funds for this purpose, noting that this revenue is likely to decrease in the coming years as dispensaries pop up in other cities and become less concentrated in Vista.

“If we could, I would like to give you two deputies. I just do not want to do it out of the cannabis funds,” said Councilmember Dan O’Donnell.

Hiring more deputies has been a larger discus-

sion in the city in recent years, and the City Council is currently awaiting more concrete data from the Vista Sheriff’s Department regarding their needs. However, after hearing about the need for a DUI enforcement officer on Sept. 10, council members said they could be amenable to using cannabis funds for this position. The city will now be tasked with cutting costs elsewhere to cover the approximately $420,000 cost.

“It’s unusual to me to make a decision without knowing what the funding source is,” said Councilmember Katie Melendez. “Part of me feels that I don't have any concern where the funding comes from, because it is a priority to me, but I do want to practice that fiscal responsibility of knowing where our coins are coming from.”

No to ‘Density’ Preston

The election for District 2 seat on the Encinitas City Council is an open race with no incumbent, so voters have a distinct and consequential choice.

The candidates are Jim O’Hara (No Party Preference), age 50, and the 34-year-old Democrat, Destiny Preston.

O’Hara is a pre-med graduate of the University of Hawaii, a resident since 1997, a family man, businessman, and civic group participant — a “what you see is what you get” type.

Preston is a state government employee working remotely from Encinitas since moving here in 2022. Looking at her resumé, she seems singularly ill-suited to serve on the council.

Preston’s newcomer status has been criticized on social media, including a cartoon depicting her as a carpetbagger. That’s enough of an issue for her that she responded with a “Myths vs Facts” page on her website.

Her response includes the risible claim that she “grew up right here in our region and her entire immediate family is within a 150-mile radius of Encinitas.”

Despite the City Council being a nonpartisan office, Preston emphasizes her San Diego County Democratic Party endorsement. She has little to say about issues, instead focusing on her “values” and resumé.

Yet the closer one looks, the less appealing she seems.

What is clear is that Preston has been groomed as a candidate since before she first came to Encinitas in 2022. She was very busy the following year. In 2023, Destiny was appointed to three advisory boards — the Coast Advisory Board, Leucadia 101 Mainstreet Association, and the San Diego County Community Action Partnership Advisory Board, the latter by Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer.

She also changed her residence to District 2, knowing that Councilwom-

from the cheap seats

Garvin Walsh

an Kellie Hinze would not seek reelection, and signed up for Emerge California’s “6-month, intensive training program for Democratic women who are planning to run for elected office,” which concluded in 2024.

Also, to claim “Businesswoman” as part of her ballot designation, Preston established a massage therapy business.

Keep in mind that she has a full-time state government job, sits on three boards, and is running for election, so it’s hard to imagine that she has much time for business.

That’s probably a good thing — a visit to her website makes it clear that her appointment calendar is wide open. But the “businesswoman” designation enjoys credibility with low-information voters, of whom there are many.

With that preparation, Destiny was ready to go.

She launched in March 2024, pulled her election papers in May, and was feted in June at an event held at state Sen. Catherine Blakespear’s home, which was also hosted by Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner, Councilmember Kellie Hinze and Councilmember Joy Lyndes, Lawson-Remer and former Councilmember Lisa Shaffer.

If you believe that sponsorship is a coincidence, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

Preston’s campaign seems to be built around three parallel strategies: avoid taking positions that could shed light on her views, trumpet the Democratic Party endorsement, and rely on supporters to ooh and ah about her credentials as a “public servant.”

We’ll see whether or not that strategy is a good one.

In this writer’s view,

Preston’s resumé should be disqualifying for election to City Council.

The main fault line in Encinitas politics is Sacramento’s intensifying pressure to densify the city. The issue has repeatedly featured in local elections and has been the subject of litigation.

State lawmakers and policymakers want more multi-family housing in Encinitas and other coastal communities. Residents’ natural and reasonable fear is that this will negatively affect the city.

These are tricky policy shoals through which the City Council must navigate. The community needs elected officials who will seek ways to avoid harm or slow down the process, awaiting a less demanding housing policy regime.

Both Mayor Tony Kranz and his challenger, Councilmember Bruce Ehlers, seem amenable to that approach. But they will need others on the council to support them.

Candidate O’Hara could be that sort of council member. Preston cannot. Both her academic career and her time as a government employee make it clear that she is all-in with the density program. Her livelihood depends upon advancing the mass transit/ density agenda.

It would be unreasonable to expect that she would negate her well-paid work in “public service” by adopting positions on the council to resist the density agenda. She rose as a darling of the local Democrat establishment because she was on board with the plan. If elected, she will owe her seat (and future prospects) to her conformity to that agenda.

Destiny Preston is an opportunistic public-sector careerist who is unmistakably a part of the Sacramento establishment pushing urban density in Encinitas and other coastal communities.

If that is what you want to see in Encinitas, she’s your girl. If not, Jim O’Hara seems like the better choice.

Community Commentary

Ehlers should not be our mayor

Bruce Ehlers continues to demonstrate that he is not suited to represent all Encinitas residents. His actions and policies often serve some at the expense of others.

In his early years, Ehlers was a constructive and collaborative figure, actively addressing issues in the community in a structured way.

He exemplified the kind of engagement we seek in a democracy, applying his skills to specific problems. In 2013, the zenith of his work was authoring and passing Proposition A (a badge he still flashes daily), which requires public votes for certain developments — a measure he believed would protect his lifestyle in Olivenhain.

His plan to require a public vote to approve certain developments meant (he thought) that his comfortable, secluded lifestyle in Olivenhain would be protected.

Then, something snapped around 2017. Ehlers’ Prop A, finally tested, was working against him. The votes that were supposed to protect his lifestyle suddenly clashed with state law, which required more housing to invade BruceWorld.

Invasion! It triggered a Prop A vote. The voters said “no,” but the state said “yes.” The voters said “no,” and lawsuits came flying at our city from the state, a builders association, and a tenants’ rights group.

The court saw the obvious conflict between Prop A and state law. Ehlers had not planned for this. In 2018, after millions of Encinitas dollars spent on lawyers, the court ordered Prop A temporarily “suspended” to allow the city to comply with state law.

Prop A had backfired. Its effort to serve a small group became a disservice to us all. We all saw the terrible result of this — a housing element was rushed into place to comply with the court’s order, resulting in terribly unpopular developments, all at the cost of millions of dollars in legal fees to Encinitas.

The local control promised by Prop A did not exist. It does not exist. It is an idea that worsens the problem it was designed to prevent. (Spoiler alert: this is going to happen again.)

Then, Ehlers snapped. As chairman of the Planning Commission, Ehlers had vowed to “perform such duties as may be specified by ordinance or resolution of the City Council or by the laws of the State of California.”

But Ehlers was not complying with his vow, according to the City Coun-

cil (and city attorney, no doubt). Ehlers’ involvement with a community organization and his public comments made it clear that he was actually working against the City Council. Ehlers was asked by our city leaders to kindly “step down” from his role on the Planning Commission. Ehlers said “no.” The city said “yes.” Ehlers said “no” and forced a contentious hearing before the City Council, dividing the community. At the hearing, I will never forget then-Councilman Tony Kranz imploring Ehlers to change his ways. He refused the gesture. By unanimous vote, the City Council stripped Ehlers of his role.

This has never happened in our city. The local control, the vow, the good governance, all that Ehlers championed he now rejects. He would not acknowledge his perceived conflict of interest caused by the conflict he created. In a twist of fate (only in politics), being fired actually propelled him to a seat on the same City Council. It is a classic example of how “local control” really means “hyper-local.” Ehlers is very popular with enough of the good people of Olivenhain who share his wish for an Encinitas of old.

My law firm was involved in aspects of the creation of the City of Encinitas in 1986. Like a broken record, Ehlers seeks a return to that era by repeating “local control,” mostly over land use. But local control really means having leaders who seek solutions that benefit all of Encinitas in a dynamic society.

Ehlers should not be our mayor. Our mayor represents all of us. Our mayor’s conduct reflects on each of us, visitors and the many stakeholders who deal with Encinitas daily. Ehlers’ “snap” found him in the company of a loud, disruptive group of supporters who get their energy from grievance. The list of complaints is endless, with solutions only serving narrow needs. Ehlers is a great advocate for single-cause issues that serve a small group of people. He does not work for all of us.

I encourage my fellow Encinitans to vote to keep Tony Kranz as our mayor. I have known him and his family for 60 years. He has taken us through difficult times and contentious issues with all the grace and leadership of a great mayor.

I hope you will join me to preserve, protect, and maintain a forward-moving and positive Encinitas.

Sheriff mum on rail death

By Walker Armstrong

ENCINITAS — A person was fatally struck by a Coaster train earlier this month in Encinitas.

While law enforcement confirmed the fatality, officials refused to release any additional information concerning the circumstances surrounding the incident.

At approximately 6:10 p.m. on Sept. 2, sheriff’s deputies and fire personnel responded to a train-pedestrian collision in the 2000 block of San Elijo Avenue, according to News Flash Media.

Upon arrival at the scene, first responders reportedly discovered a stopped Coaster train and a pedestrian on the railroad tracks. The individual was pronounced dead at the scene.

In an email response to questions, Kimberly King, media relations director at the Sheriff’s Department, told The Coast News there would be no official public statement on the death, adding the sheriff’s department no longer reports on “train incidents where we believe there is a possibility it may be suicide related.”

“We do not want people who may be in crisis to see a release and believe this may be a viable option to harm themselves,” King said in the email.

Since Jan. 1, there have been at least 20 rail casualties in San Diego County, according to the Federal Railroad Administration’s Office of Safety Analysis. A majority of these deaths have occurred along the tracks in North County.

Cade Joseph Wood, 18, of Encinitas, was fatally hit by a southbound BNSF freight train on Jan. 13 near Vulcan Avenue and D Street. In early February, two individuals were killed over the weekend in separate train collisions in Vista and Camp Pendleton. Five days later, a woman was struck and killed by a Coaster train in Encinitas.

In March, a man was hit and killed by a TURN TO RAIL DEATHS ON 30

Homeless solutions?

North County mayors talk crisis, strategies at forum

By Samantha Nelson CARLSBAD —

Mayors from several North County cities discussed their approaches to tackling homelessness during a Sept. 5 forum at Pacific Ridge School.

The forum, held at the private school in Bressi Ranch, featured Carlsbad Mayor Keith Blackburn, Oceanside Mayor Esther Sanchez, Encinitas Mayor Tony Kranz and San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones.

The mayors shared their cities’ efforts to address homelessness and explored potential regional solutions. Tigist Layne, a North County reporter with Voice of San Diego and former reporter with The Coast News, moderated the event.

“If any of us had a solution, we wouldn’t keep it a secret,” Blackburn said. “We’re all struggling with what’s the best answer.”

The discussion kicked off with data from the Regional Task Force on Homelessness’s 2024 Pointin-Time Count, which estimates the number of homeless individuals in each city. While acknowledging the count’s limitations, Sanchez noted the difficulty of reaching every homeless person, suggesting that the actual numbers are likely higher.

“We know these numbers are not very accurate,” Sanchez said. “It’s all done in the same way, we get volunteers to help with police, and it’s like 4 a.m. – it’s hard to count people at that time. There are probably

more people in difficult to reach, well-hidden places.”

According to the 2024 count, Oceanside had 522 homeless individuals, an 11% decrease from the previous year, though the unsheltered population increased by 24%. Despite the decline, Oceanside has the second-highest unsheltered population in North County, behind Escondido.

Oceanside has made strides in addressing homelessness, including the recent openings of the 50-bed Oceanside Navigation Center and Greenbrier Village, the city’s first permanent supportive housing site.

The Coast News previously reported some center graduates have moved on to Greenbrier Village as the next step in their housing journey.

Blackburn noted that some homeless individuals may be moving between cities, which could cause fluctuations in local counts.

“We don’t know how many people counted last year were found elsewhere,” Blackburn said.

Carlsbad’s data shows a 47% increase in the overall homeless population and an 87% rise in unsheltered individuals since last year. Blackburn attributed the city’s approach to addressing homelessness to its outreach team, which includes police officers, social workers, and housing staff.

“We’re handling it one person at a time,” he said.

Kranz emphasized that, regardless of the numbers, those living on the streets need assistance. He highlighted the city's Safe Parking program and the Buena Creek Navigation Center a 48-bed shelter opened in partnership with Vista.

Encinitas saw a 67% increase in its homeless population this year, with a 58% rise in unsheltered individuals. San Marcos experienced a sharp increase from just two homeless people last year to 35 this year.

Marine found, detained on base

Officials locate soldier following 17-day search

By Laura Place CAMP PENDLETON

— A 23-year-old U.S. Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton who was reported missing over two weeks ago has been located on the base and taken into custody, military officials confirmed.

Lance Cpl. Bailey Cameron had not been in touch with his family since Aug. 23, when he was last seen leaving a Carlsbad bar. A fellow Marine also reported sightings of Cameron on the base on Aug. 31, when he appeared to be in distress.

On Wednesday, a Camp Pendleton representative confirmed that law enforcement had apprehended Cameron that morning.

“He was located and detained by the Provost Marshal’s Office aboard Camp Pendleton. His parents were notified of his situation,” said Capt. James C. Sartain, Operations Officer at Camp Pendleton. “The Marine Corps is committed to ensuring the welfare of all its service members while upholding the high standards of personal conduct and accountability. Due to the ongoing nature of the case, further details regarding potential administrative or legal actions cannot be disclosed at this time.”

Camp Pendleton also requested that everyone respect Cameron and his family’s privacy and that the situation be handled according to military procedures and law. They did not answer questions about his condition when he was discovered.

Last week, law enforcement stated that investigators had observed Cameron on base but that he “avoided them.” As of Sept. 4, the U.S. Marine Corps said they no longer considered him a missing person.

Over the course of Cameron’s absence, his parents worked closely with The RAD Movement, a nonprofit supporting families of missing persons. The nonprofit regularly shared information about Cameron’s disappearance on social media, including interviews with his parents.

Speaking in a Facebook live video on Sept. 2, Cameron’s parents said Cameron was set to finish his five-year Marine Corps service this

month and had been struggling with what life would look like afterward.

Last week, group founder Sharie Finn heavily criticized law enforcement and military officials for claiming that Cameron was no longer missing, noting that he still had not been found and his family remained concerned for his safety.

In a Wednesday statement, The RAD Movement confirmed Cameron had been located and thanked those who had assisted in the search.

“While we cannot share specific details, for obvious reasons, we are pleased to inform the public that his parents have received assurance that Bailey will receive the appropriate help he needs. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to every individual who dedicated countless hours to searching for Bailey for the past 17 days,” the statement said.

Ex-Marine gets 3 years for selling ghost guns

A former Camp Pendleton Marine who sold nearly two dozen unserialized “ghost guns” to undercover officers was sentenced on Sept. 16 to just over three years in federal prison.

Christian Ferrari, 23, pleaded guilty to selling 22 rifles to officers with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives on four separate occasions last year.

Federal authorities first learned of the gun sales in January of 2023, when Riverside County sheriff’s officials notified ATF that Ferrari was involved in manufacturing and selling guns and would be expecting a call from someone interested in buying firearms, according to a prosecutor’s sentencing memorandum.

Between March and May of last year, prosecutors say Ferrari met with undercover agents in San Diego and El Cajon and sold the rifles for a total of nearly $24,000.

At his sentencing hearing in federal court, Ferrari told U.S. District Judge Cynthia Bashant that his involvement in the gun sales was “really stupid.”

“I understand what I did is really wrong and the possibility of the harm that could have been created just from my actions,” he said.

Encinitas adopts new vision for El Camino Real

Framework set for city’s bustling business corridor

By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS —

The Encinitas City Council unanimously adopted the El Camino Real Specific Plan on Wednesday night, finalizing a framework for the future development of one of the city’s most significant commercial corridors.

The plan, which has been under development since 2021, includes new design standards, streetscape improvements and mobility enhancements for the El Camino Real area. It seeks to promote sustainable development while enhancing pedestrian and bicycle access and preserving the corridor’s commercial identity.

“The specific plan provides a framework for the development and future redevelopment and revitalization of the corridor,” said Brooke Peterson, principal in charge of the consultant team working with the city’s Development Services Department. “The corridor has unique conditions that really need those tailored design standards to help facilitate redevelopment and revitalization.”

The plan area encompasses 228 acres along El Camino Real from roughly Encinitas Boulevard to the south to Olivenhain Road in the north.

The specific plan also includes a community benefits program, which encourages developers to add public amenities, such as plazas and parks, in exchange for certain incentives. However, the council voted to strengthen language around these amenities, changing the wording from “encourage” to “require” for the development of public spaces.

“I hate the word encourage, but I love the word require,” Councilmember Bruce Ehlers, who proposed the amendment, said during the meeting. “I’m a black-and-white planning

commissioner. [The word encourage] is wishy-washy. Why can’t we make it ‘require’?”

The council also agreed to incorporate stricter tree-planting requirements to reduce urban heat and increase tree coverage along the corridor. Larger trees, reaching 20 feet or more at maturity, will now be required in developments along El Camino Real. All new buildings, additions, exterior alterations, landscaping, signage and construction projects will be subject to design review, with some exceptions.

Other objectives con-

tained within the plan include:

Streetscape Transformation: The standards aim to make El Camino Real a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly commercial corridor with improved safety, comfort, and visual appeal.

Public Realm Enhancements: Development should create attractive, high-quality public spaces, landscaping, and amenities for pedestrians and cyclists.

Parkway Design: Additional right-of-way space should include parkways between sidewalks and curbs, enhancing pedestrian safety and experience.

Conflict Reduction: Streetscape designs should minimize conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.

Streetscape Features: Parkways should feature street trees, low landscaping, and non-vegetated ground covers. Utility elements like streetlights and signage are also included.

Cycleways and Crosswalks: Cycleways must be physically separated from roads, and crosswalks should have high-visibility markings and pedestrian safety features like flashing lights and adequate crossing times.

OLDER. WISER. BETTER.

Lighting and Pavement: Enhanced architectural paving and appropriately scaled lighting should be installed to improve safety and aesthetics.

Consistent Signage and Furniture: Future wayfinding signage and streetscape furniture should be consistent in style, durable, and enhance the pedestrian environment.

While the plan primarily focuses on commercial development, council members discussed the potential for state laws like Assembly Bill 2011 and Senate Bill 6, which could permit residential projects in commercial zones. The plan includes some provisions to address this, though no residential development is currently permitted under the plan.

Despite some community members’ concerns about reduced parking requirements, the council emphasized that the plan’s focus on improving pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure would offset those impacts over time.

The El Camino Real Specific Plan will now guide the corridor’s future development, providing a detailed framework for sustainable growth and public space improvements.The partnership will also provide Palomar patients access to Sharp’s specialized and higher-acuity services, such as transplants and advanced oncology procedures.

As the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, we are proud to spotlight El Camino Memorial Encinitas as our longest-standing member.

A native, Linda went to school in San Diego City and got her Elementary Teaching Credential at SDSU. She worked for 35 years in the Santee and Cajon Valley School Districts.

This recognition is a testament to their unwavering commitment to the community and marks the perfect time to reflect on the crucial role funeral services play in our lives.

After their 3 children graduated college, she and her husband moved to Encinitas - being closer to the ocean was a dream come true. “I consider myself very fortunate to live here. When traveling and people ask, “Where are you from?” and we reply Encinitas, the response is always, “What are you doing here?”

Funeral services are much more than rituals and ceremonies; they provide a structured way for families and friends to come together, celebrate the life of the deceased, and find solace in shared memories.

Isabel Velarde is the location manager for El Camino Memorial Encinitas. “I am in charge of not only making sure that my location runs smoothly, but that we are also able to service our families in a unique and respectful way.”

Linda knew she wanted to get involved in the community. She saw an article about two lovely ladies who operated a thrift shop. She visited the shop and joined the Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito 8 years ago. Since then, she has served as Hospitality Chairman, Corresponding Secretary, Membership Chairman and is now serving as President of the 200-member organization.

“The Thrift Shop provides a wonderful shopping opportunity with amazing prices. All merchandise is donated and includes women’s clothing -from work-out wear to everyday clothing to formal wear -- shoes, jewelry and accessories, men’s clothing and books, housewares and decorator items.”

In the mid-’70s, I began hearing about these kids from Carlsbad: David Barr and Joey Buran. Barr was a fast, vertical regular foot, and Buran was a nuggety, goofy foot with a knack for finding the tube.

While still in his teens, Barr was on the rise in the newly formed professional surfing tour.

“On Small Business Saturday we will have lots of new merchandise, discounts for the military and teachers; retired or working. Be sure and stop by 1542 Encinitas Boulevard!”

El Camino Memorial also offers pre-planning services, a thoughtful and responsible step that can erase the burden on loved ones during a time of grief. “Pre-planning is important because we all have questions about what happens when someone close to us passes, and the information removes the burden of having to make decisions at a difficult and emotional time.”

We tutor preschool children, support a local immigrant integration program, offer student scholarships, provide books to the Boys and Girls Club and

Barr’s goofy foot counterpart, Buran, was initially more difficult to take seriously, perhaps because of his nickname, “Sand Crab.” Rising about the childhood handle, Buran showed promise in his early teens by finishing high in numerous local competitions.

While Carlsbad has limited tube potential, Joey sought shelter in the sandbars to the north and the reefs to the south, mostly in La Jolla.

The Pipe Masters, then the most prestigious surf contest in the world, determined who was the world’s best tube rider.

It seemed likely that Australians Tom Carroll or Mark Occhillupo could take it. If not, Hawaiians Gerry Lopez, Rory Russell, Dane Kealoha, Michael or his brother Derrick Ho had a good shot.

La Jolla, however, was not always welcoming to surfers from out of town, and Buran, mainly because he was a threat to the Windansea power structure, was denied an all-access pass by some of the more vigilant locals.

No betting man could count out South Africa’s Shaun Tomson. For reasons nobody can explain, no California surfer had ever won the Pipe Masters, and 1984 seemed like history would repeat itself.

Buran, who had placed seventh in the world in the 1983 pro ranks, had a confidence in himself that few shared. His emotionally based power had festered in his heart since childhood, when he proudly proclaimed, “I am going to win the Pipe Masters someday.”

The surf was big and powerful, cracking on Pipe’s second reef when Buran prevailed over the best in the world to be crowned Pipe Master.

He had achieved his

Joey tells it in his memoir: “I sat on the beach at Pipeline, mulling over an interesting question: What will my life be now? I’d just fulfilled my ultimate dream of winning the Pipeline Masters. In my 23 years no other life dream or goal had ever crossed my mind. Winning Pipe had occupied me for 12 years, driving everything I lived for as a surfer and a man; now, as suddenly as being shot out of a Pipeline cannon barrel, it was behind me.”

Finding the victory shallow led Buran to explore life’s deeper meanings, a journey that led him to marriage, children, faith and becoming a Christian pastor.

The mere 500 words in this column make Buran’s journey seem easy. It was not. But when his unwavering determination combines with his rock-solid faith, mountains move. As well as being an adrenaline-pumping read, this story is inspiring for anyone setting aim for an unlikely dream.

— While well-intentioned, the first several states attempting to divert food waste from landfills and incinerators posted just a 20% success rate, according to a study published last week.

The study, published in Thursday’s issue of Science, “was conducted by researchers at the UC San Diego Rady School of Management. They found that of the first five states to adopt food waste bans, Massachusetts was the only one to have shown marked success.’’

“We can say with high confidence that the combination of waste bans did not reduce landfilled waste by more than 3%, and that is including Massachusetts, which successfully reduced landfilled waste by 7% — gradually achieving a 13.2% reduction,’’ said Robert Evan Sanders, assistant professor of marketing at the Rady School and coauthor of the paper. “Essentially, the data suggest that in four out of the five states we studied, these laws did nothing to reduce waste.’’

In total, over the last 10 years, nine states have made it illegal for businesses who generate food waste such as grocery stores to dispose of it into landfills or incinerators.

Despite the lack of success, the study’s authors believe there is something to be offered here.

“With food waste around the globe contribut-

ing 8 to 10% of greenhouse gas emissions, we certainly don’t think states should abandon these laws, but more action needs to be taken to make them effective,’’ said Fiorentia Anglou, coauthor of the paper.

While the first five states to implement such bans — California, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont and Massachusetts — had similarities, where Massachusetts differed is where the authors make their distinction.

According to the writers of the study, The Bay State:

— Has the most food waste processing facilities per square mile of any state, allowing for the waste to be properly be disposed of;

— Has the easiest-to-understand language in its ban of any of the states studied, with the fewest exceptions; and

— Has the most rigorous enforcement, with more than triple the number of

inspections per food waste generator of the second closest state, Vermont.

According to the study, the authors compared states with band to similar states without and projected how much waste would have gone into landfills if not for the bans.

“With most of these laws, about 70% of commercial organic waste would have been illegal to send to landfills,’’ said Ioannis Stamatopoulos, coauthor of the paper and associate professor at UT Austin’s McCombs School of Business. “If you take all that organic waste out of landfills, it should reduce the amount of waste that’s going into landfills by 10% in some cases, and that should have been something we were able to see in the data but did not.’’

The authors note California is making correct moves if the state wants the food waste bans to be more efficacious, including the 2016 passing of SB 1383, which requires jurisdictions to provide organic waste collection services to residents and businesses alike. It went into effect in 2022.

“Our findings indicate that simply implementing a food waste ban is not enough to achieve significant reductions in landfill waste,’’ the authors write. “Massachusetts has shown that with the right combination of comprehensive coverage and effective enforcement, these bans can work. It’s crucial for other states to learn from this model and adapt their policies accordingly to meet environmental targets and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.’’

The county saw a 4.7% decline in sales compared to July, but a 3.2% increase over August 2023.

Statewide, August’s sales pace fell 6.3% from the 279,810 homes sold in July of this year to 262,050, but was up 2.8% from a year ago at this time.

“Home price growth in California continued to moderate in August as the market neared the end of the traditional home buying season,’’ CAR President Melanie Barker said in a statement. ‘’With the Federal Reserve signaling it will lower interest rates soon, mortgage rates are expected to ease well below their recent peaks. As such, housing affordability will improve in the fall, and buyers will benefit from lower costs of borrowing in the coming months.’’

The median price of an existing, single-family home declined somewhat in San Diego County, from $1.02 million in July to $1.01 million in August — up from $1 million at the same time last year.

Grads head to arena

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE —

Grad-

uation ceremonies for three Oceanside high schools will be held at the new Frontwave Arena starting next spring, thanks to a recently approved agreement between the Oceanside Unified School District and the arena.

The 2025 graduating classes from Oceanside High School, El Camino High School and Surfside Academy will celebrate their commencements in June in the new 7,500-seat arena.

Previously, Oceanside and El Camino held their graduation ceremonies at their on-campus stadiums, while Surfside Academy, an independent continuation high school, held its ceremony on a campus field.

Due to size constraints at the former locations, se -

niors were limited in the number of family members who could attend. The arena’s larger capacity will allow more loved ones to watch students receive their diplomas.

“It’s a top-notch facility,” said Surfside Principal Eric Frandsen about Frontwave Arena.

Frandsen expressed excitement for his students

to celebrate their milestone in the new venue with more family present.

“So many students have struggled for so long to reach this milestone — they deserve this recognition,” Frandsen said. “We couldn’t be more thrilled.”

Oceanside High School Principal Skyler Garrahy said her students will have a “college-esque experience” by holding the cere -

Del Mar eyeing council vacancy

City has 60 days after Sept. 24 to replace Worden

By Laura Place DEL MAR —

The city of Del Mar is moving forward with an appointment process to fill a seat on the City Council that will be vacant after Dwight Worden resigns later this month.

Worden, who has served on the council since 2014, announced in late August that he will resign effective Sept. 24. The city then has 60 days to either make an appointment or call a special election to fill the seat for the remaining two years of his term.

The City Council voted 3-1-1 on Monday, with Dan Quirk opposed and Worden abstaining, to move forward with the appointment process. The application is now available on the City Council webpage until 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 27.

The city is tentatively planning to hold applicant interviews and select an appointee at the City Council’s Oct. 7 meeting. Applicants must be 18 or older, and a resident and registered voter of the City of Del Mar.

disagreements on important issues like the rail. He also claimed that the appointed person would likely feel obligated to the council members who appointed them.

“The vulnerability of an appointed council member to feel obligated to those that appoint them is quite strong, and there’s a lot of important issues here, and frankly, I think the city needs to turn in a radically different direction. I am strongly inclined to a special election,” Quirk said.

Other council members disagreed, stating that a candidate would be chosen based on their qualifications and would be expected to be an independent council member.

The council majority noted that the appointment process would fill the vacancy faster and cost far less than a special election, which would not be able to take place until March 2025 and could cost up to $250,000.

“The people of Del Mar really do like to be able to vote for their council members. However, the special election is extremely expensive compared to an appointment,”

Councilmember Terry Gaasterland said.

Quirk was the sole council member to speak in favor of a special election.

Quirk said he is unlikely to agree with his fellow council members on a candidate, due to their

“I don’t think whenever we appoint for DRB (Design Review Board) or Planning (Commission), I don’t feel they’re beholden to me. I feel like they’re a qualified candidate based on the questions that I might ask or others ask, and I form an opinion on that,” said Councilmember Tracy Martinez. Links to the application and more information about the appointment process can be found on the City Council webpage under “City Councilmember Vacancy.”

In addition to the appointment and Worden’s resignation, the council makeup will see further changes with the regularly scheduled Nov. 5 election, where three general seats are open.

Quirk and Martinez are running alongside newcomer John Spelich, and Dave Druker is stepping down at the end of his term.

County sets deadline for funds

By City News Service

REGION — More than $867,000 in unclaimed funds remains on the county’s books, with just 10 days left to claim it before it rolls into the county’s general fund.

San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister on Thursday reminded San Diegans that time to claim the $867,171 is running out.

“There are only ten days left to file a claim,” McAllister said.

“If you’ve done business with the county in the last three years, includingpaying property taxes, you could be on the unclaimed monies list.’’

Every year the county attempts to return funds owed to taxpayers but cannot for whatever reason — usually warrants/checks undeliverable by the postal service. These can come from overpaid taxes and bills being paid to contractors doing business with the county.

According to McAllister, the smallest refund available is $15 and the largest is $25,118.40.

“Some possible returns are quite large — in the thousands, with the highest over $25,000,’’ he said. “I’m sure people could use this

money, so my staff and I are working hard to return it to its rightful owners.’’

Countywide money that is unclaimed for three years and property tax refunds that are unclaimed for four years must be turned over to the county’s general fund, current state law reads.

A full list of money owed can be found at www.sdttc. com/content/ttc/en/tax-collection/Unclaimed-Money. html.html.

To view a list of the unclaimed refunds, go to the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s website. Hard copies of the

list are available at the following Treasurer-Tax Collector locations: — Chula Vista, 590 Third Ave; — Santee, 10144 Mission Gorge Road; and — San Marcos, 141 East Carmel St.

According to the office, people owed money can follow the instructions on the unclaimed money website to file a refund claim by Sept. 22. Additionally, you can email claims to refunds@ sdcounty.ca.gov or call 1-877-829-4732 for more information.

Mako (left) is pet of the week at Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She is a 1-year-old, 16-pound, female Chihuahua mix.

Mako was a stray dog who was picked up by a good Samaritan and taken to a crowded shelter in Riverside County. When nobody came to reclaim her, she was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters.

Her new family will need to give her the time and all the space she needs to get settled into her new home. It takes time to become a family. For more information, visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas, call 760-753-6413, or log on to www.SDpets.org.

Max (center) is the San Diego Humane Society’s pet of the week. She is a feisty 6-month-old kitten with lots of energy and a spicy side to her.

Max loves to wrestle, pounce and occasionally show her affection with a nibble. She is looking for a human who understands her enthusiastic love language. An adult-only home may be the best environment for her. Max’s adop-

tion fee is $140. She is located at the Oceanside campus at 572 Airport Road. The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, an incentive for pet insurance from MetLife and a license for residence.

Tulip (right) is pet of the week at the Helen Woodward Animal Center. She is a tortoiseshell coat kitten who loves affection and cuddles.

According to the center, Tulip could be taking the coziest nap imaginable, yet she would still perk up when someone approaches her cat condo and happily throw her face into the hands of whoever wants to disturb her. She makes for a great couch companion. Tulip’s adoption fee is $145 plus a $36 microchip fee. She has been altered and is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations. She is microchipped for identification as with all pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center, located at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe. For more information, call 858-756-4117, extension #1, or visit animalcenter.org.

“When I looked at those, it was clear that they were basically ripping us off,” Wang said.

After looking at financial statements, reviewing foundation documents, and speaking with various club coaches and students at CCA and other district schools, the two students published the report on Sept. 8. It immediately spread like wildfire, Wang said.

The students’ investigation focused on several areas of the foundation’s finances, claiming there is a lack of transparency in reporting where money is allocated as well as the salaries of foundation leaders.

Financial concerns

students in the department.

This policy, which CCAF says has been in place since 2006, has been controversial among parents who argue that they cannot control where their donation goes. Foundations at other district high schools, including Torrey Pines and San Dieguito Academy, appear to allocate 100% of donations made out to specific programs to only that program.

The report also states that the foundation has taken a percentage of the robotics club’s revenue at the end of every year to cover foundation management expenses without stating how funds are calculated.

meeting with his parents the next day.

Killeen did not respond to a request for comment.

Pushback

Days after the report was published and began to draw intense attention from parents and students, the CCA Foundation and Killeen released statements discrediting Wang and Tian’s report.

Killeen called the report “grossly erroneous and misleading” but did not identify specific misinformation in it.

The report focused heavily on the salary of former Executive Director Joanna Couvrette, which has been much higher than that of executive directors at other school foundations, and the lack of past IRS salary disclosures for Couvrette and Finance Manager Gina Mahmood.

Both have been involved with CCAF for 12 years, with Couvrette departing the foundation in May for unknown reasons.

According to Form 990s filed by the foundation, Mahmood has not filed a salary disclosure since 2015, and Couvrette did not report her salary from 2015 to 2020. As of May 2024, Couvrette’s salary was over $161,000, and she was listed as the foundation’s only paid employee on the foundation’s Form 990.

In a statement rebutting the report, CCAF claimed the IRS does not require officers, directors or trustees to report their salaries in Form 990 if their annual salary is less than $150,000 and claimed Mahmood is not an officer.

However, federal law states that organizations filing out Form 990 must list all current officers, directors and trustees when reporting executive compensation, regardless of their income.

“CCAF relied on the advice of our professional CPA firm who prepared our filings. The CCAF Boards have always been composed of parent volunteers. We hired outside professionals to handle these matters and it was reasonable to rely on their expertise,” said CCAF Board President Sandra

Sincek said in response to The Coast News.

The report also explained that in 2023, the foundation itemized around $674,000 worth of expenditures as “Other Program Expenses” without explaining what this included. This category has amounted to over $3.5 million over the past 10 years, the report said.

“Donors should not accept that the Foundation’s largest expense is left completely vague,” the report stated.

Wang and Tian also raised concerns about money being allocated away from clubs to other areas by the foundation.

CCAF donors have the choice between an unrestricted donation to the Raven’s Fund, which supports multiple school programs, or a restricted donation to a specific STEM, athletics or arts program.

With the latter, an individual club or program receives 75% of the direct donation, and the foundation puts 25% into a larger fund for the program’s department (either STEM, athletics or Envision) to fund improvements that benefit all

For the Aluminum Narwhal robotics team, the report claims the foundation has taken around $150,000 over the past six years through the 25-75 donation structure and for management overhead expenses, with only $10,000 of the Foundation’s STEM Fund going back to the robotics team for their expenses.

Meanwhile, Couvrette has been the highest-paid executive foundation director in the district. The next-highest paid executive director at Torrey Pines makes a salary of around $30,000 less in comparison, the report states.

“As a result of these exorbitant fees, many clubs like the Robotics team have become dependent on Summer Camp programs to fund their operations, as the foundation has relatively less influence over the revenue generated from these camps,” the report states.

Wang and Tian initially published their findings anonymously in order to prevent retaliation. However, this changed after Wang was called into the office of CCA principal Brett Killeen last week.

During that meeting, Wang said Killeen confronted him about the report and accused him of defaming the school; and also set up a

In statements last week, the foundation called the report an “attack on CCAF” and criticized the two students for not speaking with them directly about their concerns. They also claimed the report would damage the foundation’s fundraising abilities.

“There is an opportunity to learn and grow, but growth will only be possible with accountability, a recognition of the harm caused by the document and website, and a desire to move forward constructively in service of the CCA community with truth and integrity,” the foundation’s statement read.

Wang and Tian said they did reach out anonymously to the foundation with their findings before publishing, but did not receive a response. Instead, Killeen responded to the email and told them to come address him in person, they said.

In their rebuttal, the foundation addressed the large amount of funds in “Other Program Expenses,” stating that this covers “rolled up” costs not otherwise allocated to a program with its own line item. This has included facility improvements such as new furniture, flooring and sound systems, as well as spending on camps, clinics, and coach stipends.

Pizza pilgrimage with Gianni Buonomo wines

For the past three years, I’ve hosted Keith Rolle, owner and winemaker of Gianni Buonomo Vintners, and Al Dorvinen, Giannia Buonomo’s wine club manager, at my home, Casa Cassoni, for our annual pizza pilgrimage.

This tradition blends my passion for crafting authentic Neapolitan pizzas with their award-winning wines. Notably, Gianni Buonomo has been named the best San Diego winery by San Diego Magazine for six consecutive years.

Making great Neapolitan Margherita pizza starts months in advance.

Each February, I plant non-GMO San Marzano tomato seeds, known for their unique flavor and meaty texture. This year, I experimented with a 48-hour coldproofed dough using Italian

“00” flour, resulting in a pillowy soft crust that was easy to stretch.

My Kamado Joe ceramic cooker reaches over 900°F, allowing pizzas to bake in just two minutes and achieve the signature “leoparding” on the crust — a hallmark of the true Neapolitan style.

gnon, sourced from Alice Block in Rutherford, was rated among the seven best wines from the Rutherford AVA by the Robb Report. This elegant wine displays a garnet to an inky purple hue, with aromas of blue fruits, black raspberry, and cinnamon. Velvety tannins frame flavors of dried cherry and black cherry.

To celebrate the end of my San Marzano tomato season, I prepared a hearty Bolognese sauce and paired it with the 2021 Fiftyrow Charbono.

Sourced from Wheelhouse Vineyard in Suisun Valley, this Charbono offers aromas of black fruits and cocoa. Initially bright, it evolved into a dark, full-bodied wine with rich layers of dark fruits and natural acidity — a perfect match for the robust sauce.

are barrel-aged in French oak for 24 months.

Keith and Al, Gianni Buonomo’s owner/winemaker and wine club manager, respectively, arrived with five exceptional wines from Gianni Buonomo, focusing on rare and underappreciated varietals that intrigue adventurous wine enthusiasts.

Three were from their California Collection, with grapes sourced from Amador County in the Sierra Foothills.

We began with the 2021 Barbera, offering blackberry, black cherry, and raspberry flavors with light tannins — a delightful match for the Margherita pizzas.

Next was the 2020 Nebbiolo, a full-bodied wine with aromas of spicy rose petal and leather, notes of cola and dusty oak, and a hint of tart cherry on the finish. Our third California wine was the 2020 Lagrein.

Typically used for blending, Keith skillfully crafted this into a full-bodied wine featuring dark berries, chocolate and spice, with assertive tannins. All California Collection wines

We also enjoyed the 2020 Sangiovese, made with grapes sourced from Washington’s Rattlesnake Hills AVA. It offered cherry, plum, and cranberry on the palate, with a hint of black tea on the finish.

Keith concluded with the 2016 Aglianico from the Buonomo Reserve series, aged 36 months, in onceused French oak. This wine had a savory red berry palate with hints of leather and spice, pairing beautifully with the pizzas.

Exciting changes are underway for Gianni Buonomo. They’re moving to a new location on Hancock Street near Pechanga Arena in Point Loma.

After nine years in Ocean Beach, the move offers benefits like better parking and nearby food options. The new location is slated to open in October. Learn more at gbvintners.com.

Fiftyrow Vineyards

Continuing our exploration of standout wineries, we turn to Napa Valley’s Fiftyrow. Founded in 2002 by Paul Johnson and leg-

endary Napa winemaker Gary Galleron — known for his work with Vineyard 29, Grace Family and Chateau Montelena — Fiftyrow has become an under-the-radar favorite from New York to Los Angeles.

From the outset, Paul told Gary, “Do not make the wine; teach me to make the wine.” After years of handson training, Paul became the winemaker in 2011. With Gary shifting to semi-retirement, Paul brought Jake Stuessy — a Galleron protégé — on board. They are a great team and reach out to Gary as necessary to tap his decades of winemaking knowledge.

Fiftyrow’s mission is to produce great wines accessible to a broad audience. They focus on single-vineyard wines from Napa Valley without the triple-digit price tag.

They meticulously source sustainably grown vineyards to create top-quality, small-production wines like their single-vineyard Rutherford Cabernet, which recently received 96 points.

I had the pleasure of tasting two of their gems. The 2021 Cabernet Sauvi-

Recognizing changing market demands during the 2008 recession, Paul launched the Smokescreen brand to offer great-value wines under $30. Smokescreen sources grapes from acclaimed vineyards using techniques reserved for pricier wines. The result is wines that overdeliver on quality without compromising affordability.

I also tried two Smokescreens. The 2021 Smokescreen Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a fruit-forward wine with aromas of blackcurrants and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied with notes of dark fruits and toasted mocha, finishing with polished tannins. The 2022 Pinot Noir exhibits balance and elegance, with aromas of blueberry and red raspberry and flavors of blackberries and black cherry.

Kudos to Paul Johnson and his team for crafting high-end Fiftyrow wines alongside budget-friendly Smokescreen offerings, allowing consumers to enjoy quality without compromise. More information at fiftyrow.com.

UCSD scientists study Greenland mega-tsunami

By City News Service

REGION — Two UC San Diego seismologists were among an international team of scientists who set out to investigate a mysterious seismic event lasting for nine days, a report published today revealed.

Alice Gabriel and Carl Ebeling of UCSD’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography were puzzled like scientists around the world when, in September 2023, the seismic waves continued for more than a week.

The culprit was a mountaintop in a Greenland fjord collapsing into the water. The resulting wave topped 650 feet and ricocheted back and forth in the narrow fjord for nine days, keeping up the seismic signal baffling scientists. A wave in a partially enclosed

According to the scientists, climate change spurred the glacier melt at the foot of the mountain, causing the landslide. It displaced more than 25 million cubic meters, enough to fill 10,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools. The authors of the study believe a warming climate could cause more large-scale landslides.

The research was published in Thursday’s edition of Science.

“When we set out on this scientific adventure,

everybody was puzzled and no one had the faintest idea what caused this signal,’’ said Kristian Svennevig, a geologist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland and the study’s

lead author. “All we knew was that it was somehow associated with the landslide. We only managed to solve this enigma through a huge interdisciplinary and international effort.’’

The massive, rebounding waves did not hurt any people, but did destroy around $200,000 in research equipment at an empty scientific camp on an island.

“Climate change is shifting what is typical on Earth, and it can set unusual events into motion,’’ said Gabriel, whose work on this study was supported by the European Research Council, Horizon Europe, the National Science Foundation and NASA.

Cities, Fairgrounds adopt joint rail resolution

By Laura PLace

DEL

MAR

— The cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach, along with the Del Mar Fairgrounds, have entered into a joint agreement outlining their expectations for the San Diego Association of Governments as they continue planning for the regional rail realignment project.

The resolution was created in response to three proposed realignments for the Los Angeles-San Luis Obispo-San Diego rail corridor in Del Mar, which SANDAG said would be advancing for environmental study in a notice of preparation released this summer.

These alignments include one starting in Solana Beach and running along Interstate 5, known as Alternative A, and two options starting in Del Mar, one following Crest Canyon (Alternative B) and another along Camino Del Mar (Alternative C).

Alternative A quickly garnered strong opposition due to its high cost and potentially devastating impacts on the Fairgrounds and other infrastructure in Solana Beach. Officials from both entities also noted that SANDAG never included them in discussions about the route before it appeared in the NOP.

Last week, Del Mar, Solana Beach and the 22nd District Agricultural Association — the board governing the Fairgrounds

— signed a joint resolution calling on SANDAG to engage all affected parties equally in route discussions and to bring back new route alignments that limit negative impacts wherever possible, among other demands.

“The joint resolution is really intended to find commonalities between all of the stakeholders in the process to provide SANDAG, what our expectations are, what our priorities are, aligned across all three cities and the agricultural district,” said Solana Beach City Manager Alyssa Muto.

Along with equal engagement of stakeholders, the resolution calls for SANDAG to consider how to avoid or minimize nega-

tive or adverse impacts on businesses, public and private property, public safety, tourism, sensitive environmental areas and the regional economy.

It also said decision-making related to a route, project objectives and determinations of significance under the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, should be based on research, engineering and technical evaluations.

Strategic resolution

The resolution was also a strategic move for Del Mar, as the small city fights for a voice in the regional project that will have unprecedented local impacts.

Alternative A had more

support among Del Mar residents than in neighboring Solana Beach due to its avoidance of a tunnel portal within the city of Del Mar. However, city officials agreed that none of the proposed alignments in the NOP were acceptable, partially due to the lack of specific details regarding each route.

“We’re trying to hold hands with our neighbors and have a collaborative approach to leverage SANDAG in the way we want,” said Del Mar Councilmember Dwight Worden, whose last council meeting will be Sept. 24. “We will have a lot more juice with them, if all of us are collaborating and using the same voice.”

For Del Mar, the resolution is also a show of goodwill to the Fairgrounds, which recently decided to pause discussions with Del Mar about building state-required housing on their property until the city formally opposes Alternative A.

The City Council has chosen not to take a stance on any alignments yet until SANDAG can provide more details about the exact locations of tunnels and other infrastructure. This will help to clarify who may have a conflict of interest.

Since the action of the 22nd DAA, state housing officials have already begun reaching out to Del Mar, asking them to demonstrate that housing discussions are moving forward, said City Manager Ashley Jones.

“I want to remind everyone that there’s more at stake, and there’s more this is intended to do than just deal with the LOSSAN issue. It’s also intended to work collaboratively with our partners to try to keep things on track and maintain good partnerships,” said Jones.

The resolution also includes the city of San Diego, which has yet to sign it.

Next steps

During the NOP scoping process, SANDAG received over 1,500 comments from individual residents and local agencies regarding the three planned routes.

Following strong negative feedback, SANDAG has paused the NOP process and is now engaging in a value analysis using a third-party consultant. This process will engage all affected stakeholders in discussing concerns and technical aspects of each alignment and is expected to be completed later this fall.

“The joint resolution is very much in line with the value analysis work we are doing in partnership with Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, San Diego, Solana Beach, the 22nd District Agricultural Association, North County Transit District, and Caltrans. By working together, our hope is to find consensus around a range of alternatives to study in the environmental analysis phase for the LOSSAN Rail Realignment project,” SANDAG said in a statement.

Copies of all comments on the NOP are expected to be made available for public review in the coming weeks. At the same time, SANDAG is also in the process of identifying a lead federal agency that will work with them on a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) study, separate from the state-level CEQA study.

Both must be completed before the project can progress, and a final alternative can be chosen.

Telephone: 408.286.7000

On or about December 1, 2020, Petitioner and Respondent entered into a written contract whereby Petitioner, as a Breeder of Golden Retriever dogs, agreed to allow Respondent to be the Guardian of one female golden retriever puppy named Babette, with a Microchip Number 956000013457174, who was born on October 12, 2020. The underlying purpose of the Contract was to allow Respondent to possess a free dog with Petitioner retaining breeding rights with further obligations by each party as set forth below.

Pursuant to the agreement, Respondent, as the Guardian had various obligations that must be upheld which included, but are not limited to, providing vet care as needed to Babette, such as regular vaccinations, monthly ea and tick medications as approved by Breeder/Petitioner. Respondent was responsible to license the dog with the County where she lives and must keep the license current. Most importantly, Respondent was and is obligated to “surrender the dog to Breeder whenever requested an on occasions such as, but not limited to breeding ... and to cooperate in arranging transport of the dog to the assigned location upon Breeder’s request for testing and collection” and “Guardian may not use or allow the use of the dog for breeding purposes except as those arranged for by the Breeder.”

Further pursuant to the contract, the transfer of ownership of the dog from Breeder to Guardian would occur at the termination of the contract, or sooner if Breeder deems acceptable. However, if, prior to transfer of ownership of the dog from Breeder to Guardian, the following occurs, the guardian agreed to pay the breeder the sum of $3,000.00: Guardian absconds with the dog, transfers possession of the dog to anyone other than the breeder, fails to advise the breeder of any change of Guardian’s address, or ceases communications with the Breeder.

participate in binding arbitration pursuant to paragraph 10 of the Contract. See Ruiz Decl. at Exhibit C Petitioner, through counsel, has sent several demands for the parties to participate in binding arbitration, proposing Lee Jacobson and James Dilling to arbitration the matter. Within these letters, which were sent via email, US Mail and Certi ed mail on at least three occasions, Petitioner highlights to Respondent the various ways Respondent was in breach of the Contract, which include failing to meet her obligations to surrender Babette to Petitioner whenever requested, particularly for breeding purposes, failing to cooperate in arranging transport of Babette to assigned location upon Petitioner’s requests for breeding purposes as required by the Contract, and failing to notify Petitioner of Babette’s heat cycle so that purpose of the Contract could be ful lled.

Based on the foregoing, petitioner believes it is entitled to: Liquidated damages of at least $3,000.00; Consequential damages of at least $132,000.00 calculated based on there being three (3) litters remaining due under the contract, with an average litter of 8-10 puppies, each puppy being worth $5,500 at 8 weeks old (8 puppies x 3 litters x $5,500 = $132,000.00); Equitable remedies such return of the Babette forthwith; and reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred by Petitioner to be awarded by the Arbitrator under the Contract.

Case No. 308748

PETITIONER GRAVITAS GOLDEN LLC’S PETITION TO COMPEL ARBITRATION AND POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT THEREOF

Date: 07/16/24

Time: 8:30 a.m.

Dept: 2 COMES NOW Petitioner, Gravitas Golden LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (“Petitioner”), and hereby Petitions the court for an Order Compelling Respondent, Barb Ladeveze, to Submit to Binding Arbitration as required under the subject Contract attached to the Declaration of Nicholas R. Ruiz (“Ruiz Decl”) in suppo1i hereof as Exhibit A FACTS

Pursuant to paragraph 10 of the Contract, the parties agreed to binding arbitration in the County of Tulare, State of California, for any and all claims and disputes arising under or relating to the Contract. Said paragraph provides for an assessment of costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney fees.

On or about August 13, 2023, in breach of the Contract, Respondent noti ed Petitioner that the dog was in a heat cycle in May of 2023 and failed to notify Petitioner thereof.

On or about May 5, 2023, in further breach of the Contract, Respondent noti ed Petitioner of another of Babette’s heat cycle and refusal to cooperate with Petitioner to surrender the dog to Petitioner for breeding purposes.

Since May of 2023, Respondent and Petitioner emailed back and forth a few times trying to reach an amicable resolution. However new terms proposed by Respondent were not acceptable, negotiations have stalled out, and therefore, the instant petition is necessary to compel arbitration.

On January 8, 2024, Respondent, via email, again indicated Babette has started another heat cycle and speci cally indicated “under no circumstance will I release her to you or any driver you delegate to pick up until [a new] agreement is entered into.”

See Ruiz Decl. at Exhibit B

On January 18, 2024, Petitioner demanded via email that due to Respondent’s repeated breaches of the Contract, that the parties

A. GROUNDS FOR PETITION. Under both California and federal law, a written agreement to arbitrate is generally valid, enforceable, and irrevocable except on grounds that exist for the revocation of any contract. See Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 1281; 9 U.S.C. § 2. The enforcement of arbitration in California is generally governed by Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 1280 et seq., often referred to uno cially as the California Arbitration Act (“CAA”), subject to limitations imposed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., when applicable.

A party may le a petition under the CAA in the superior court to compel the other party to arbitrate the dispute. See Cal. Code Civ. Proc.§§ 1281.2, 1281.4. A petition to compel arbitration (and any other petition led under the CAA) must be heard by the court in a summary way in the manner provided for making and hearing motions. Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 1290.2; Rosenthal v. Great W Fin. Secs. Corp., 14 Cal. 4th 394, 407. The court generally must order the parties to arbitrate if it nds that there is an agreement to arbitrate unless it nds that the party seeking to compel arbitration has waived the right to compel arbitration or there are grounds to rescind the agreement. Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 1281.2(a), (b). B. EXISTENCE OF AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. As a threshold matter, the party seeking to compel arbitration must establish that an agreement to arbitrate exists. Under Cal. Rules of Ct., Rule 3.1330, a petition to compel arbitration must allege the provisions of the written agreement and the paragraph that provides for arbitration. An arbitration clause in an agreement that provides for arbitration of any dispute or claim arising out of the agreement “or any resulting transaction.” (Johnson v. Siegel (2000) 84 Cal. App. 4th 1087, 1095, 1102; see also Bak v. MCL Financial Group, Inc. (2008) 170 Cal. App. 4th 1118, 11261127).

Here, there is a written

contract (the “Contract”) signed by both parties, attached Ruiz Decl. as Exhibit A, and incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Contract, paragraph 10, parties agreed to Binding Arbitration: All claims and disputes al ‘ising under or relating to this Agreement are to be settled by binding arbitration in the County of Tulare, state of California or another location mutually agreeable to the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted on a con dential basis pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any decision or award as a result of any such arbitration proceeding shall be in writing and shall provide an explanation for all conclusions of law and fact and shall include the assessment of costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Any such arbitration shall be conducted by an arbitrator experienced in business and contract law and shall include a written record of the arbitration hearing. The parties reserve the right to object to any individual who shall be employed by or a liated with a competing organization or entity. An award of arbitration may be con rmed in a court of competent jurisdiction. C. The Claim Is Within the Scope of Issues that the Agreement Subjects to Arbitration. The scope of the matter to be decided by the arbitrator is delineated by the parties’ agreement (Brinkley v. Monterey Fin. Servs., Inc (2015) 242 Cal. App. 4th 314, 329-334; Khalatian v. Prime Time Shuttle, Inc. (2015) 237 Cal. App. 4th 651; City of L.A. v. Superior Court (2013) 56 Cal. 4th 1086, 1095). Here, the dispute between the parties is within the scope of the arbitration provision as it clearly arises from the contract itself as it relates to speci c breaches of the Contract; i.e., Respondent was in breach of the Contract by failing to meet her obligations to surrender Babette to Petitioner whenever requested, particularly for breeding purposes, failing to cooperate in arranging transport of Babette to assigned location upon Petitioner’s requests for breeding purposes as required by the Contract, and failing to notify Petitioner of Babette’s heat cycle so that purpose of the Contract could be ful lled.

D. Demand For Arbitration Has Been Made, Though Not Required Under the Circumstances. In some instances, the party seeking to compel arbitration of a dispute must make a timely demand for arbitration. However, If the opposing party has refused to arbitrate, the party seeking to compel arbitration need not show a demand for arbitration as a condition precedent to a successful petition to compel. Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 1281.2 does not include a requirement that the petitioning party have made a demand for arbitration, only that the other party has refused to arbitrate. Arbitration can be refused without a formal demand ever having been made. (Hyundai Amco Am,., Inc. v. S3H, Inc. 232 Cal. App. 4th 572, 577 (2014).) Here, Petitioner has made several attempts to resolve the dispute amicably before retaining counsel. (See Ruiz Decl. at ¶¶ 7 and 8). Thereafter, through counsel, Petitioner demanded Respondent to participate in binding arbitration via several emails and letters, which are attached to Ruiz Decl. as Exhibit D Respondent, however, has refused to respond to said

communications. Prior to Petitioner retaining counsel, Respondent did respond to emails directly from Petitioner, so it is obvious that her email address where demands for arbitration were sent by Petitioner’s counsel is accurate. Letters were sent to Respondent demanding parties submit to binding arbitration via email, U.S. Mail, and Certi ed Mail, with return receipt requested. (Ruiz Decl. Exhibit D.) CONCLUSION

Based on the foregoing and the supporting Declaration of Nicholas R. Ruiz and exhibits thereto, the instant petition to compel arbitration must be granted.

Gourds galore: What to do with winter squash?

With fall quickly approaching, we are all harvesting vegetables with warming menus in mind.

In our 20-foot raised bed garden at the Pine Street Senior Garden plot, our butternut squash began producing in August and shows no sign of slowing down.

In most traditional American cooking, winter squash and sweet potatoes and are used mostly as holiday dishes, topped with butter and a sweet element such as brown sugar.

But two of my students, Win and Francisca Thomas, who are avid and inventive cooks, prepared this recipe for our gardening class, and everyone wanted the recipe.

Win recently purchased a small outdoor pizza oven to use on their Carlsbad condominium patio, but he also gave instructions for those who are not so lucky to have the real thing!

BUTTERNUT SQUASH PIZZA

We often think of mak-

ing pizza with a tomato and cheese topping, but this recipe is a savory combination of baked butternut squash, fresh mozzarella cheese, roasted Kale chips and parmesan cheese.

Ingredients:

Fresh or frozen pizza dough or pre-made Boboli

One 3-4-pound butternut squash

Two one-pound pieces of fresh mozzarella

One cup of freshly grated Parmesan Olive oil, salt and pepper

For Kale chips, two large handfuls of fresh kale, smooth variety.

Directions:

Poke holes in whole squash and microwave on high for two minutes. This will loosen skin. Peel and slice into rounds, removing all seeds.

Cook the sliced rounds, adding a drizzle of olive oil and salt, in a baking dish in a 350-degree oven until soft. Remove and cool. Cut into bite-size pieces and set aside.

Prepare dough. If using frozen dough, defrost completely and allow to rise for two hours, tightly covered with plastic wrap.

If you are familiar with pizza dough, prepare it in your normal fashion, pulling until one large round is formed.If using pre-cooked Boboli, prepare in the same fashion.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees; place a pizza stone

or pan in the oven to preheat.

Place pizza dough or Boboli on the pan. Top with slices of mozzarella to cover. Add squash in a decorative fashion.

Cook only until the cheese melts, about five minutes. Remove from oven.

While cooking pizza, prepare kale chips. Strip kale from stems, toss in salt

and olive oil and bake

Turn oven down to 250 degrees and cook kale leaves on a cookie sheet, turning once until crispy.

When the pizza is done, add fresh parmesan cheese and kale chips. Serve to your hungry crew!

PUMPKIN PLACE

While shopping for winter squash, don’t miss the display of smaller pumpkins soon to appear at our favorite vegetable markets. Unfortunately, pumpkins are one of the most under-utilized vegetables that will be available this fall.

Ask your vegetable purveyor to find a small pie pumpkin or Long Island cheese pumpkin.

The best cooking pumpkins will have thin skin and weigh no more than three pounds.

PUMPKIN PUREE

What could we do instead with this flavor-packed vegetable? It could be baked, roasted, or stewed into soup. Because of the sheer thickness of the skin and the difficulty of cutting into it, we avoid cooking with it.

Butternut squash is a great vegetable for a variety of delicious fall recipes. Courtesy photo Given the overabundance of vegetables at this time of year, it makes sense to cook with them and puree and freeze them for later.

RAIN, WIND, AND

Cook in the same fashion as any winter squash. Open the small pumpkin, scoop out the seeds, and place face down in the baking dish with a small amount of water in a 350-degree oven. Allow to cook until skin is soft and the inside is cooked.

Remove from oven and allow to cool. Scoop out the inside portion.

Process in a food processor or blender. If the mixture is too watery, strain.

Freeze or use immediately in pumpkin soup, pumpkin muffins or any recipe from The Food Network!

In the next few weeks, we will be visiting local pumpkin patches and will pass on our recommendations to you. Contact us if you have a favorite pumpkin patch or vegetable market.

neighbor and a Navy hospital corpsman stationed at Camp Pendleton, was walking her dog when Arriola shot her. After the shooting, he repeatedly claimed to bystanders and police that she was a trespasser. Investigators searched the defendant’s car and found the victim’s last name scrawled in black permanent ink on the radiator tank. A list of other names and words was also written on the tank, with the final entry “R.I.P.” concluding the list.

Arriola was a former Marine who was discharged for desertion and later diagnosed with schizophrenia, leading to four hearings between the killing and his trial to determine whether he was mentally competent to stand trial. Three separate doctors found him competent, according to court documents.

In his appeal, Arriola’s attorney argued his schizophrenia diagnosis should have meant he was incompetent to stand trial, but a three-justice panel of the Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled Arriola failed to show that the various doctors’ opinions about his competency weren’t supported by evidence.

His attorney also challenged the jury’s finding on the lying in wait special circumstance allegation, which made Arriola eligible for a life without parole

sentence. On appeal, his attorney argued that the evidence didn’t show he waited for Rideout and ambushed her.

The appellate panel disagreed, stating that evidence at the murder scene suggested Rideout was surprised by her killer. The court also wrote that when noting Rideout’s name on his car’s radiator tank and a book found in Arriola’s apartment that explained gun laws regarding self-defense and how to legally eject trespassers, “the evidence indicated Arriola planned to kill Rideout under the guise of self-defense’’ and that the jury was reasonable to determine “that the encounter between Arriola and Rideout was not a coincidence, but rather the result of a planned surprise attack.’’

The appellate court did agree with Arriola that the trial judge should not have imposed a firearm enhancement when sentencing him. The firearm enhancement added a 25-year-to-life term on top of the life without parole sentence.

The appeals court agreed that the judge applied the wrong legal standard by finding that the firearm enhancement would endanger public safety if it wasn’t imposed.

The case will return to a local court for resentencing.

Clubs’ building for sale

By Walker Armstrong

ENCINITAS — The building housing the longstanding The Saloon and Shelter nightclub on Coast Highway 101 in downtown Encinitas has been listed for sale as of Monday, but the popular night spots will not be impacted by the transaction, the listing agent said.

“The building itself is for sale, not the businesses,” said James Bengala, a commercial real estate agent in charge of the listing. “The Saloon and the Shelter are both locked into a very long-term lease through the year 2036, so they’re good.”

Concerned about Mental Health or Chemical Dependency Issues?

Aurora Behavioral Healthcare San Diego is a 101 bed mental health and chemical dependency treatment hospital located in Rancho Bernardo, providing inpatient and outpatient services for children, adolescents and adults. Aurora San Diego Hospital is a proven leader in behavioral healthcare treatment in San Diego County and is fully licensed and accredited by the Joint Commission on Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).

For more information on hospital programs and services please visit our website at: aurorasandiego.com or call 858-675-4228 to speak to one of our mental health professionals and to schedule your NO COST confidential assessment.

The property, listed at $6,466,549, encompasses 6,188 square feet, equating to $1,045 per square foot. Bengala said this pricing was “right in the middle” of other comparable commercial properties along the Highway 101 corridor, ranging from Carlsbad to Del Mar.

The structure, which dates back to the early 1930s, has been in the same family since 1957. The current owners are looking to sell to the right group that will honor the property’s legacy rather than simply aiming for the highest bid.

“The sellers want to find the right group to pass on the baton because this is a legacy asset,” Bengala explained. “It really is a legacy asset, and so it’s important to them to find the right group that is going to take care of the place after they move on with their lives.”

Bengala said that while there has already been significant interest in the property since it was listed on Monday, the current tenants’ operations will continue uninterrupted.

“As far as the public knows and sees, they’ll notice nothing different,” Bengala said.

asked about the students’ claim that the foundation charges a percentage of clubs’ revenues for management expenses at the end of each year. The foundation stated that management/ salary overhead costs are shared between all programs based on the revenue they each bring in.

When it comes to the 75-25 split for donations, the foundation said it is a gross misrepresentation to de-

scribe the 25% contribution to the department funds as a “fee” or being “taken” from clubs.

Since the report’s release, CCAF said they are open to having a new independent audit performed by another firm this year, in addition to the yearly audits done by a different firm for the past eight years, in order to restore community trust.

They also stated that they will form an audit committee and hold financial open houses in the coming months.

Woman killed in hit-run

By Samantha Mason CARLSBAD —

A Carlsbad man was arrested early Tuesday after allegedly fleeing the scene of a crash that killed a 23-year-old San Diego woman on Las Palmas Drive, police said. The incident occurred at around 12:37 a.m. in the 2200 block of Las Palmas Drive. According to the Carlsbad Police Department, a Volkswagen Jetta collided with three parked cars before striking the woman, who had just exited her vehicle. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses reported that the Volkswagen was traveling eastbound at a high rate of speed before the collision.

The driver, identified as 26-year-old Jose Manuel Zambrano Cruz, of Carlsbad, allegedly fled the scene but was later located in the 6600 block of El Camino Real. He was arrested on charges of felony hit-and-run, DUI causing injury or death and vehicular manslaughter and booked into the Vista Detention Facility. The identity of the deceased is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

The cause of the collision is under investigation, with alcohol suspected as a contributing factor.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Traffic Accident Investigator Corporal Matt Bowen at 442-339-2282 or matt.bowen@carlsbadca.gov.

Cheap tissues, costly lesson: A buyer’s regret

There’s a wise old saying: “There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are

HOMELESS

City Council’s recent decision to ban encampments on public property. Several local cities adopted this policy after the Supreme Court’s Grants Pass v. Johnson decision allowed municipalities greater control over public camping penalties.

“When they’re told they can’t just stay in a park and spend the night there day after day, it puts a little pressure on them,” Jones said. “Everyone has to follow the same rules.”

In Oceanside, Sanchez said the police are exploring options for encampment bans but expressed concerns about criminalizing homelessness. “I don’t think criminalizing homelessness is the answer,” she said. “I think we can do a lot better.”

Instead, Sanchez hopes to learn best practices through a new agreement with Carlsbad to clean up encampments along state Route 78. The cities are sharing an $11.4 million grant to provide wraparound services for homeless individuals in the Buena Vista Creek area over the next three years.

The mayors agreed that addressing homelessness requires regional collaboration rather than shifting the burden to one area.

“We care, we’re trying our best,” Blackburn said. “Are we successful all the time? Absolutely not, but we’re learning from our mistakes and building on our successes.”

Sanchez, a former public defender, and Blackburn, a former prosecutor, both highlighted the impact of Proposition 47 on the region’s ability to address substance abuse among homeless individuals. Sanchez voiced her support for Prop 36, which would reclassify certain drug offenses and mandate treatment for some offenders.

Jones encouraged residents to contribute by volunteering at shelters or helping those struggling with homelessness.

“We have to remember that this is all of our problem,” Jones said. “It’s getting people the mental health that they need, it’s getting food to folks and continuing to build affordable housing...We are definitely working hard to address this situation.”

this man’s lawful prey.”

This came to mind after buying Winco’s house brand of tissues. I consider tissues generic merchandise, so why pay $1.89 at Target when I can pay $1.38 at Winco?

Besides, I was already there buying other stuff and needed a box for my car.

Today’s technology allows you to pull out individual tissues from a box. It’s a minimum expectation for every brand and prevents embarrassment from sudden sneezes or allows gentle

guidance out the door for that spider.

Surprisingly, this technological advancement wasn’t the case with my new acquisition. Here, I grabbed one tissue, only to discover 12 more immediately following in an unbroken chain. It seems the manufacturer didn’t adequately cut the paper. This led to the hygienic version of a magician pulling 20 handkerchiefs from his sleeve.

Regular readers will have already figured out that I thrive on the idea of

being different from everyone else in the crowd. But that difference should be in addition to offering whatever your competition provides.

Because, as I learned while driving at 70 and a sneeze came upon me, it’s hardly cost-effective to force me to take a dozen tissues when I only need one.

Realistically, even as I shop at Winco, I will now think twice before buying their tissues ever again. Their inferior product quality doesn’t reach the min-

imum bar of deliverables that I’ve set.

So, even if I have to pay more at Target, Costco, or elsewhere, I’ll get what I want. Regardless of your industry, this offers several useful lessons:

Customers pay attention to whether you deliver what they think they’re buying. Deliver what the competition offers, THEN find ways to be different.

Short-term, price attracts customers. In the long term, they’ll look for

quality. Here’s the bottom line: tomorrow’s success depends on investments you make today, whether in people, technology, or vendor relations. And as my friends at Winco reminded me, cutting corners can easily drive away the sales you’re looking to make. And that’s nothing to sneeze at. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Get better ideas at www.askmrmarketing. com.

O’side schools aim to cut suspension rates

Programs aim to keep students on right track

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — The

Oceanside Unified School District has been working to reduce its suspension rates through alternative methods that aim to keep students in school and help them make better decisions.

The school district’s efforts are part of a broader initiative to foster a stronger sense of belonging within the school community.

“Districtwide, we’re focused on creating a better sense of belonging at our schools through what we’re calling a ‘beloved community,’” said Jordy Sparks, the district’s executive director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Student Supports. “We want students to be in school more often. Suspension, especially outof-school suspension, takes

students out of school, and when that happens, they’re often unsupervised, falling behind on work and accumulating absences.”

Absences from suspensions can lead to students falling behind in classes and, in extreme cases, affect their ability to grad-

uate. Sparks noted that students of color, particularly young Black and Latino men, have been disproportionately affected by the district’s historically high suspension rates.

In response, the district has introduced programs like Restorative

Reset, a voluntary alternative to suspension. Students participating in the program attend an off-site program where they complete schoolwork, reflect on their behavior and take responsibility for their actions.

In return, they are not counted as absent, and the suspension does not appear on their school record.

Students can still choose to take their outof-school suspension, but Sparks said this rarely happens. Additionally, the district has introduced a mediation program at Oceanside High School, allowing students in conflict to request a trained mediator via QR codes placed around campus.

Sparks described the mediation program, introduced last year, as a “major contributor” to reducing out-of-school suspensions.

Jesus Ramos, a 16-year-old sophomore at Oceanside High School, has participated in Restorative Reset multiple times. Ramos, who had been sus-

pended for fighting, credits the program and its staff, particularly James Donnelly and Vu Nguyen, for helping him improve his behavior.

Now, over a year since his last suspension, Ramos is focused on his schoolwork and his future aspirations in music. Ramos offered this advice to other students facing similar hurdles: “Just pay attention and do your work.”

After graduation (or sooner), Ramos hopes to start making music. He favors hip-hop, noting some of his favorite artists include rapper Trippie Redd and late rappers XXXTentacion and Juice WRLD.

Sparks emphasized that the goal of these programs is to teach students lifelong skills.

“We hope that it’s helping to develop the skills in young people to understand the difference between intent versus impact, why what they did was harmful, and how they can be mindful about going forward,” Sparks said.

Supervisors OK battery site policies, but nix ban

By City News Service

REGION — Following the recent lithium battery fire at an Escondido storage facility that prompted evacuation orders and warnings, county supervisors this week approved policies regulating the approval and operation of future energy-storage sites in unincorporated areas, but stopped short of imposing a moratorium on new facilities.

The Board of Supervisors, on a 4-1 vote, approved additional requirements for fire suppression technical reports and/or disclosures to ensure new battery energy storage systems go “above and beyond’’ current code requirements.

The board’s vote came after lengthy public hear-

The team, comprised of 68 scientists from 41 re-

ing and discussion among the supervisors themselves on how to regulate battery energy storage systems, which some residents have criticized as dangerous to their communities.

Supervisors also nixed a proposal that would have required new BESS facilities to use modular designs within an enclosure, and have projects follow National Fire Protection Association guidelines.

Based on an amendment from board Vice Chair Terra Lawson-Remer, the county fire chief will instead “analyze appropriate residential buffer distances based on plume modeling and develop a plan for battery energy storage systems facilities.’’ The chief is expected to update the board

In a statement, Lawson-Remer said battery storage infrastructure “is necessary for us to meet our climate goals, but these facilities must be sited and built in ways that protect the health and safety of our residents.’’

“After the recent fires, I listened to resident concerns and developed an approach that will establish safeguards to keep residents safe while allowing for climate-friendly battery storage to continue to be built,’’ she added.

Supervisor Joel Anderson said in a statement that as an elected official representing communities facing extreme fire risk, “it is important that (the board) move forward with the highest and safest standards in the nation in order to protect our residents.”

Before making their decision, supervisors heard from numerous residents in favor of a moratorium.

Stephani Baxter, a Fallbrook Community Planning Group member, said there are two BESS projects in her community, one of which is near a watershed. She described them not only as a noise nuisance, but also the cause of light pollution and lowered property values.

“This shows there is stuff out there that we still don’t understand and hav-

“If this is truly about conservation and sustainability, I wonder where the environmental advocacy groups are for such a precious watershed,’’ Baxter added.

Opponents said a moratorium would result in lost jobs and damage the county’s overall climate action goals. Serena Pelka, a policy advocate with the Climate Action Campaign, said BESS facilities helped prevented blackouts during a summer of high temperatures in the county.

“Keeping the lights on saves lives, and keeps our economy stable,’’ Pelka said. “The board has to ask itself, what is the human-health cost if we stop building battery storage in our region?’’

Odd Files

Inexplicable

When Las Vegas police responded to a call in the wee hours of Aug. 27 about someone lying face-down on the ground outside a funeral home, they might not have expected the most obvious explanation: They found a dead body amid the landscaping, with a casket nearby on a rolling cart.

KTLA-TV reported that a door to the funeral home was open, and flower petals were scattered on the floor leading out of the door. Investigators learned that the body was that of a person who had been the subject of a viewing the previous day, and surveillance video showed a woman breaking in and moving the casket outside.

Police arrested Patricia Sierra, 47, the next day and charged her with grand larceny, burglary and disturbing human remains; she couldn’t explain her actions, she said, because she had consumed six beers and blacked out. Sierra remained in jail on $11,000 bond. [KTLA, 9/5/2024]

The Passing Parade

On Sept. 10, as Delta Flight 295 taxied toward takeoff at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the Airbus A350 headed for Tokyo clipped the tail off a smaller plane,

the Associated Press reported.

No one was injured on either aircraft, but passengers had to deplane and be rebooked on later flights. Jason Adams, who was aboard the regional jet headed to Louisiana, posted to X about the collision:

“Well that was terrifying. ... Very jarring, metal scraping sounds then loud bangs. We’re fine. No fire or smoke,” he wrote. [AP, 9/10/2024]

Ewwwww!

How else do you celebrate Labor Day in Michigan than participating in a ranch dressing chugging contest? Fox17-TV reported that Zach Orvis of Belding, Michigan, won the first-ever competition at The Harmful Roester restaurant by downing 24 ounces of the creamy delight in 10 seconds, beating 11 other contestants.

“I’ve seen people pour about that much on their salads, so what’s the difference?” Orvis said. “I don’t feel sick at all.” Orvis won a $100 gift card and a free order of all-you-can-eat wings every week until spring 2025. [Fox17, 9/1/2024]

— People in the Netherlands spend more than 900 million euros on drugs each year. How do we know this? KWR, the research institute for drinking water businesses, analyzed sewage samples.

NL Times reported that the researchers looked for residue of cocaine, speed and ecstasy between 2015 and 2022 in Dutch sewage treatment plants.

“We are assuming a fairly conservative estimate,” KWR researcher Thomas ter Laak said. “This provides insight into the size and consumers of the Dutch illegal drug market.” [NL Times, 9/12/2024]

Nine Lives

Nicci Knight of Newby, North Yorkshire, England, was enjoying a vacation in Turkey when her neighbors let her know they had found her cat, Ted, drowned in their pond. “I had to break the news to my husband and our four children, and we were all absolutely devastated,” Knight said.

The BBC reported on Sept. 6 that Knight arranged for her pet to be cre-

mated and went on with the holiday. But four days later, her cat sitter, who had been looking after the family’s other cat, called her and said Ted had just walked through the cat flap on the door.

Knight realized she had “paid 130 pounds to cremate someone else’s cat.” After returning home, she collected the cremains, which had been labeled “Not Dead Ted.” The family has not been able to trace the owner of the drowned cat; they believe it was probably a stray.

[BBC, 9/6/2024]

Overreaction

A man suffered two brain bleeds, multiple skull fractures and multiple facial bone fractures, Las Vegas police said, after a convenience store clerk beat him with a bat for taking too much nacho cheese sauce.

On Sept. 3, KSNVTV reported, officers were called to the store where the man was lying on the ground and bleeding.

The person who called 911 asked the clerk, Myron Bullie, to call for help, but he responded, “I’m not going to call 911. He better have learned a lesson.”

Bullie told police he had warned the victim about taking too much cheese, but the victim said he wasn’t leaving without it. Bullie is being held on $10,000 bond at the Clark County Detention Center.

Great Art The Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations in Marseilles, France, is offering special visiting hours to naturists -- people who shun clothing -- until Dec. 9, Canoe reported on Sept. 2.

Nude patrons will be welcome one evening a month to see the exhibition “Naturist Paradises,” which is described as a “journey of discovery of the very first naturist communities, first in Germany and Switzerland, then in France,” according to the museum.

Although nudity is welcome, the museum will require visitors to wear shoes “to avoid getting splinters,” an official said. [Canoe, 9/2/2024]

Wait, What?

Earlier this year, social

media star and model Suellen Carey, who lives in the United Kingdom, shared her wedding with her many followers, the Daily Star reported on Sept. 12.

The ceremony was unconventional, as Carey married ... herself. She called her lifestyle “sologamy” — or she did, until she recently divorced herself, even after several rounds of couples therapy.

“It’s crucial to know when to end a cycle,” Carey posted. “Even commitment to oneself can have its challenges, such as dealing with the expectation of being perfect for yourself all the time.”

She said she felt lonely in her self-marriage and her own company was “exhausting.” We can only imagine. [Daily Star, 9/12/2024]

Police Report

Plaintiffs known only as “John and Jane Doe” have filed a $25,000 lawsuit in Florissant, Missouri, against the City of Florissant and an unknown police officer called “Joe Smith.” The Does say Smith is “a sexual voyeur and predator of the worst kind,” KMOVTV reported on Sept. 11. According to the suit, Jane Doe was pulled over in February for a broken taillight. The officer asked if she had insurance and directed her to pull up proof on her phone and show it to him. At that point, he took her phone back to his cruiser, turned off the Bluetooth linked to her car, and didn’t come back for 10 minutes. He didn’t give her a ticket, but, she alleges, he scrolled through her photos and found intimate images that she had shared only with her husband. Jane Doe found out about his snooping when the FBI contacted her in July to ask that she identify a photo of herself that had been enlarged and printed.

Agents said it was not the only photo of her that they found in the officer’s possession.

Jane Doe said she has been disturbed and has suffered humiliation, emotional distress and mistrust. The Florissant Police Department said in a statement that the officer is no longer employed there, and no other officers were involved. [KMOV, 9/11/2024]

Owner’s Club emerges as region’s premier social club

Imagine a space where North County’s most driven and passionate individuals are able to come together not just to network, but to inspire meaningful connections. Welcome to the Owner’s Club, the North County Club, a community networking anchored in sports, entertainment and lifestyle.

Founded by life coach Nick Petro, and owner of Frontwave Arena Phil Salvagio, the Owner’s Club seeks to cultivate a culture of inspiration and connections through exclusive membership.

Why Owner’s Club?

The Owner’s Club was created for “business owners, founders, executives, local companies, movers & shakers, and anyone who supports North County businesses”, says founder Nick Petro. Following a series of business mixers he hosted, Petro and his business partner, Phil Salvagio, were inspired to create a club that blended “personal and professional experiences” for the members.

“Our objective is to consistently exceed member expectations by delivering exceptional experiences,” says Petro.

Member Perks & Frontwave Arena

Step into a world of luxury with year-round

access to the Sub-Limit Lounge. Amenities include a co-working space and conference rooms, cocktail bar, televisions, pool table, shuffleboard and even a golf simulator. Members can rent out the lounge space for their own private events. Family-friendly and community events will be held as well.

Home to the San Diego Sockers and the San Diego Clippers, special access to Frontwave Arena is arguably the most alluring aspect of the Owner’s Club. Exclusive membership in the club guarantees VIP sports tickets, entrance and a complimentary cocktail at the Califino Lounge. Club members also have access to the premier Pala Lounge pre, during and post all things music, sports, and entertainment that will be held at Frontwave Arena.

Founding 50

The first fifty individuals who earn membership with the Owner’s Club will be inducted into the esteemed “Founding 50” group. These initial members will be provided with unique limited benefits as well as reduced membership dues. Prestigious benefits include a complimentary personalized tile to be placed on the outside of Frontwave Arena (while tiles last), authentic sports jerseys, a personalized bot-

tle of Califino Extra Añejo Tequila, and more.

Inaugural member and celebrity jeweler Rob Jewels can attest to the endless benefits the Owner’s Club has to offer. “It’s going to be a good idea for people to get involved early,” he says.

“I would suggest joining if you’re a part of the community and involved in business. It definitely pays itself off right away.”

Success & Growth

Expand your room for both your personal and professional growth with networking opportunities such as the Boardroom Breakfasts, The Local Legends Luncheons and happy hours. These combine business mixers, industry presentations and insights from distinguished guest speakers. All of these professional experiences are what contribute to the club’s goal to inspire greatness.

Members are also invited to grow within their business ventures by becoming a sponsor of the Owner’s Club. Sponsorship allows for brand elevation and exposure, where your business has the potential to be showcased at member events and be highlighted amongst the successful network of fellow professionals.

Cox delivering multi-gig internet speeds in San Diego

Cox Communications is delivering 2-gigabit download speeds to customers everywhere, the first internet provider to deliver multi-gig across the entire San Diego market.

Cox’s multi-gig speeds will be delivered through breakthrough enhancements to its existing fiber-powered network, without any digging or disruption to neighborhoods.

$12 billion investment over past 10 years

The ability to deliver multi-gig download speeds everywhere is the result of Cox’s nearly $12 billion investment in network upgrades over the past 10 years (2014-2023) to deliver some of the most powerful communications and entertainment services.

Cox already delivers gig speeds to all customers in San Diego today. Unlike other provider approaches that often limit high-speed internet to select neighborhoods or regions, Cox continues to offer its highest speeds to all subscribers, ensuring that every customer has access to cut-

ting-edge technology and reliable connectivity.

“By investing billions of dollars in our existing fiber-powered network, we’re able to deliver our fastest speeds to all customers, without disruption to any property,” said Ingo Hentschel, market vice president for Cox Communications in San Diego. “We know customers want lightning-fast download speeds, seamless streaming experiences, and enhanced capabilities for remote work, online learning, gaming and more. Two-gig download speeds deliver that experience.”

Fastest ISP in the nation

Cox has a long history of providing the speeds that customers need.

In its recently released 2024 annual review, HighSpeedInternet.com (HSI) ranked Cox as the fastest ISP in the nation based on average download speeds for all of 2023.

What is multi-gig?

Two-gigabit internet is a broadband connection that can transfer data at up

to two billion bits per second, twice as fast as traditional gigabit internet and 10 times faster than the average speeds in the U.S. (about 200 Mbps). That means basically everything fast and all at once.

• Seamless streaming experience

• Multiple video conferences at once

• Multi-player gaming

• Multiple 4k/8k streams

• Virtual reality, and more Customers in San Diego already have access to gig speeds, but all customers will have the option to subscribe to multi-gig by the end of 2024.

On the go with Cox Mobile Cox is also giving customers new opportunities to combine their Cox Mobile and broadband services, offering fast, fiber-powered internet at home, packaged with unbeatable 5G reliability on the go. Visit cox. com or one of any 10 Cox Store locations throughout San Diego County.

INSPRING GREATNESS is why Owner’s Club founder and CEO Nick Petro built this unique club centered around sports, entertainment, and lifestyle experiences.

PRIVATE ACCESS to the Pala VIP Lounge at Front Wave Arena, sports ticket packages, and meet the team opportunties are among the benefits for Owner’s Club members.

STOP LAURIE DAVIES

Assemblymember LAURIE DAVIES voted twice in the last 30 days in favor of TRIBAL CASINO INTERESTS and AGAINST the interests of the City of Oceanside, local businesses, employees and residents of the 74th District!

LAURIE DAVIES’ votes seek to hurt the City of Oceanside’s ability to fund vital programs, cost 500 residents their jobs, destroy Ocean’s 11 Casino and deny over 40,000 customers who live and work in her district their local entertainment option!

LAURIE DAVIES sat SILENT when asked in meetings with DAVIES, her staff, City of Oceanside officials, Ocean’s 11 Casino, residents and employees how her vote on Senate Bill 549 benefited her district or the State of California until ultimately her frustrated staff shouted, “She

doesn’t have to answer you.”

LAURIE DAVIES IS MORE CONCERNED WITH OUTSIDE SPECIAL INTERESTS THAN THE CITIES, RESIDENTS, AND BUSINESSES IN HER DISTRICT.

LAURIE DAVIES HAS TURNED ON OUR COMMUNITY IN FAVOR OF WEALTHY OUTSIDE SPECIAL INTERESTS. HER VOTES DO NOT REPRESENT OUR COMMUNITY OR OUR VALUES. JOIN US IN OPPOSING LAURIE DAVIES.
