Encinitas explores smoking ban

absent, to initiate a code amendment that would ban smoking of all tobacco products in public areas.

By Jacqueline Covey

ENCINITAS — City staff will explore a smoking ban in Encinitas, with the possibility of future public safety ordinances to come out of the city’s Environ mental Commission.

The Encinitas City Council voted unanimous ly on Sept. 21, with Coun cilmember Kellie Hinze

The potential reper cussions of violating the po tential Encinitas Municipal Code change would be a fee or other civil violation.

The motion also includ ed exploring the legality of expanding the ban to mov ing vehicles in the public right of way.

The move comes from an Environmental Commis sion effort to identify and develop strategies to regu late plastic pollution sourc

es — as noted in its work plan goals.

Speakers from orga nizations, such as Clean Earth 4 Kids, American Cancer Society, Surfrid er Foundation and others came out in favor of a code change. The council also re ceived several letters from city residents in support.

Jim Wang, a former en vironmental commissioner, was one of several advocat ing for a change in the city.

NAGATA NAMED FARMER OF YEAR

Jimmy Ukegawa, owner of the Carlsbad Strawberry Company, a popular u-pick strawberry and pumpkin farm, won unanimous sup port from the Carlsbad Plan ning Commission on Sept. 21 after filing an appeal of the city’s recent determination that several of the farm’s latest attractions were not permitted under the land’s current zoning and required a special permit.

At least 40 people attend ed the meeting and nearly 100 letters of support for Ukegawa were submitted to the city from residents across North County.

In one written submis sion, Hannah Gbeh, execu tive director of the San Diego County Farm Bureau, de scribed the Carlsbad Straw berry Company as “one of San Diego’s best examples of agritourism.”

OCEANSIDE — A glob al sock producer is working with local agencies to recruit and employ formerly incar cerated women for its new manufacturing facility on Airport Road in Oceanside.

Headquartered in nearby San Clemente, Fu ture Stitch is an innova tive knitwear producer has partnered with well-known brands Stance, Toms, Crocs and Everlane to create unique, durable socks.

Future Stitch found er Taylor Shupe is also a co-founder of Stance, a sock, underwear and t-shirt brand. Shupe left Stance, moved into the manufactur ing side of the business, and now produces Stance socks through his company.

When it comes to busi ness, Shupe likes to chal lenge old ways of thinking – turning a throwaway fash ion item like a sock into a commodity, or changing how society treats people impact ed by the justice system.

The United States has the world's highest overall incarceration rate and the highest female incarcera tion rate.

In 2020, California had the country’s second high est prison population, with 97,328 prisoners under state or federal jurisdiction. It was outpaced by Texas, which had a whopping 135,906 prisoners.

Returning to regular life after prison is challeng ing for many formerly incar cerated individuals. Accord ing to a report released by the Bureau of Justice Statis tics, nearly a third of former ly incarcerated people could not find jobs for years after release.

“They have to check a box when they apply to a big corporation, and once they do, they’re likely not going to get that job,” Shupe said.

Shupe noted that for merly incarcerated — or jus tice-impacted — individuals also have to deal with other hurdles, including mandato ry drug tests, parole visita tion and court dates that can

often interfere with a work schedule.

“The whole system is unfair and inequitable,” Shupe said.

But with his new Oceans ide facility and future manu facturing locations, Shupe hopes to demonstrate to other companies that hiring formerly incarcerated em ployees is more profitable to everyone involved.

Since the facility opened, Future Stitch has worked with San Diego Workforce Partners and North County Lifeline to re cruit formerly incarcerated women as employees.

Shupe also takes it a step further by providing various classes like yoga, meditation and affirmations that aim to improve his em ployees’ mental and emo tional health while at work. He plans to hire therapists and other specialists for the team in the future as well.

The facility also has an Airstream trailer for nurs ing mothers and is working on completing a recreational space for employee events.

“If coming to work al lows them to accept them selves and find hope in life, then maybe we can prove

that the incarceration sys tem isn’t worth the taxpayer dollars and additional crime and perpetuation of it to the next generation,” Shupe said. “Because now they’re here, so if they’re producing GDP and happy, and their families are intact, then why not hire them?”

Sarah Porter, who heads Human Resources, leads the

yoga and meditation classes and has closely bonded with the people who work there.

“I’m so sad our society doesn’t see there is value in our mistakes,” Porter said. “Instead of shutting people down as soon as they check that box, let’s help and serve each other.”

Future Stitch’s Oceans ide facility has been oper

ating for only two months, but several employees have learned to love their job.

“I look forward to com ing to work every day,” said Miremah Brown. “It’s the energy here, the motivation – we’re helping each other out, working together as a team – it just makes you want to come to work.”

While Brown was not

women

incarcerated, she had fallen on hard times, which forced her to move into a shelter for some time. Things began turning around for her ear lier this year when she got a new apartment with her kids.

A few months later, she found Future Stitch while looking for a job that better suited her children’s school hours. Now, she’s only look ing forward.

“I’m not where I’ve been, I’m where I’m going,” Brown said.

Like Brown, Ana Alvizo is not focusing on her past, but she feels more comfort able talking about it since joining Future Stitch. Be fore, it was standard for her to keep the fact that she was formerly incarcerated to herself to avoid judgment — and when she had to reveal her past for job interviews, she could feel a shift in how they treated her.

“You could tell by how their faces would change a little bit, and they’d tell you they would call you, but they don’t,” Alvizo said.

In the years after her release, Alvizo had a baby and returned to school at MiraCosta College, where she joined Transitions, a group that helps support jus tice-impacted people. Before Future Stitch, she worked at McDonald’s for several years, gaining leadership skills that she still carries with her today.

Production manager Ta sha Almanza said she “lost everything” before Future Stitch. Now, she sees the company as her foundation.

Almanza, like the oth ers, feels appreciated and accepted by Shupe and Porter, who know and care about the people who work there.

“They’re giving us wom en another chance,” Alman za said.

All three women are ex cited about their futures in the company.

“There’s so much room for growth,” Alvizo said.

Shupe plans to open other Future Stitch factories throughout the country, with the next slated for Dallas, Texas. The company is on track to reach revenues of over $50 million in 2022 and plans to use these funds in its expansion.

Dovoters want more teachers liv ing in their com munities, even if it means a little more traf fic and perhaps a few less parking spaces for others?

That’s a major ques tion soon to face California school districts, cities and voters as the state deals with a big teacher short age, seeing 72% of school districts unable to find enough applicants to fill their available teaching jobs this year.

Letters to the Editor

Olivenhain connects to Elfin Forest?

AreEncinitas resi dents aware that a privately funded, two-lane paved road has recently been com pleted, providing a direct path between Olivenhain and Elfin Forest?

If not, you are not alone.

Apparently, few, if any, people in our city gov ernment had any knowl edge that this “private” road was being construct ed. Or that it crossed Enci nitas-controlled property. Or that it connects directly to an Encinitas-controlled city street.

So why is this new road important?

Because it significant ly impacts fire evacuation safety for the residents of Olivenhain!

This new, fully paved road replaces a rustic 4WD-only path (Canyon De Oro) that previously exist ed.

With this road, during a wildfire evacuation, peo

ple (and horses) from this area will flood onto Oliven hain’s primary paved route (Lone Jack Road to Rancho Santa Fe Road) for evacua tion.

As was pointed out in the August newsletter of the Olivenhain Fire Safe Council (which summa rized the Aug. 22 Wild Fire Evacuation Workshop), the city-sponsored Commu nity Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP), performed by Fitch and Associates, “didn’t account for the new road that was recently paved between Elfin For est and Olivenhain, which already has significantly increased traffic on Lone Jack.”

My primary question is: How can a “private” road paid for by non-Encinitas homeowners be construct ed over land controlled by Encinitas and San Diego County (per the city map of parcels, roads and rights-ofway), that impacts the wild fire evacuation safety of a

major portion of Encinitas and surrounding communi ties.

How could such a new road affecting the safety of hundreds of Encinitas resi dents have been construct ed without any oversight of our Planning Commission or City Council?

Why is no one in our city government apparently worried about this?

At a minimum, I be lieve the Encinitas Fire Department would be well within its rights to install a gate (that it would control) where this new road inter sects Encinitas’ Fortuna Ranch Road, similar to the one that currently exists on LL Ranch.

I urge city government officials to take a serious look at this issue and work to ameliorate the negative impacts of this unplanned and unapproved fire safety hazard.

Don’t let the Arts Alive banner tradition die

Dear Editor, Something is missing — a 21-year Encinitas tradition that myself and many local residents cherish and antic ipate each year.

I am referring to the beautiful Arts Alive ban ners hanging from light poles along Coast Highway 101.

All of these fantastic works of art are created by local artists, representing the huge and growing arts community that Encinitas has been blessed with.

At one time, there were 101 banners gracing and beautifying our main coast al thoroughfare.

This year, the number has dwindled to 22. Thanks in part to the dedication dis played by 101 Artists Colo ny, Cardiff Seaside Market and Surfing Madonna Foun dation, this tradition did not die.

Now, this beautiful dis

play has been reduced to the Seaside Market’s park ing lot and a few of Cardiff’s Restaurant Row light poles along the highway.

Fortunately, the quali ty of the art has not dimin ished along with the num bers. Our local artists have again shown exciting talent.

Many, many more of our artists were greatly disap pointed they could not again participate in this fine tradi tion.

Why is this travesty happening? Good question. A big part of the problem has been an indifferent city staff and lack of interest from our City Council.

A newly required city permit took four months for 22 banners — a permit, by the way, never needed be fore.

Due to lack of mainte nance, most of the display arms on the light poles are old and in disrepair.

Despite many requests to the council and city staff from 101 Artists Colony, re quests for much-needed re pairs have fallen upon deaf ears.

The artists community of Encinitas is not a small nor trivial thing — it is one of the defining aspects of our city.

The arts community makes our city unique, vi brant and a true gem of San Diego County.

Please speak out to the powers that be and not let this beautiful tradition die away.

“Medicine, law, busi ness, engineering; these are noble pursuits and neces sary to sustain life. But (art), poetry, beauty, romance, love… these are what we stay alive for.” — John Keat ing, “Dead Poets Society”

“This shortage is caused mainly by housing prices,” claims Matthew Lewis, an official of Cal ifornia YIMBY (Yes in My Backyard), the Oak land-based group dedicat ed to creating hundreds of thousands of new housing units very soon.

YIMBY has lobbied long and hard for all the housing density laws passed by state legislators over the last several years, most notably the 2021 mea sures known as Senate Bills 9 and 10, which ef fectively ended R-1 single family zoning throughout the state.

Voters have not yet had a chance to decide the ultimate fate of those measures, but opponents hope to place referenda to kill them on the 2024 bal lot and restore R-1 zoning where it was before.

But some local voters will decide long before then on proposals from schools to help ease their teacher shortage by pro viding subsidized afford able housing for school em ployees on surplus school property. With enrollments dropping in many school districts since the start of the COVID-19 pandem ic, one seemingly reason able estimate says school districts now own about 75,000 acres of surplus land.

One such property is the 2.5-acre site of the shut-down James Flood Elementary School in the eastern portion of Menlo Park on the San Francisco Peninsula, near the High way 101 Bayshore Freeway. The land is owned by the Ravenswood School Dis trict, which serves both East Menlo Park and East Palo Alto.

Ravenswood officials plan to sign a developer and build approximately 80 to 90 affordable units on the land, beside a city park. The Flood school was closed in 2012 and later de molished, leaving the land vacant with a park beside it.

The site is designated as a housing “opportunity” by Menlo Park’s planned housing element for the years 2023 to 2031.

Ravenswood officials say teachers and other school employees would have the first right to apply for new housing there.

At the same time, the prospective develop ment could provide about $500,000 yearly for the Ra venswood budget. Per-pu pil spending in that district is well below levels in the neighboring Menlo Park City School District.

“This is important because teachers are not applying for jobs because they cannot afford housing locally, and don’t want to commute for several hours daily to jobs in cities like Menlo Park from distant cities where housing is cheaper,” said Lewis.

Already, thousands of San Francisco Bay area workers who cannot oper ate from home are forced to commute from places like Tracy and Modesto, while their Los Angeles and Orange County coun terparts commute from points including Santa Clarita, Bakersfield and Moreno Valley, piling up many hundreds of freeway miles each week.

But no sooner had the James Flood development been announced than neighbors began complain ing. Now a local initiative designed to block it or re duce it considerably will appear on next month’s ballot. When Menlo Park’s city council and citizen groups failed to work out a compromise, that initiative remained intact.

Strong sentiment against the project by many area residents emerged in a public meeting last spring.

“I’m very much in fa vor of affordable housing,” declared one longtime homeowner quoted in news reports. “But not to the detriment of the neighbor hoods we love.”

Added another, “There is a need for affordable housing, but just not here.”

It’s rare for NIMBY (Not in My Backyard) sen timents to be expressed so frankly and openly.

But the local initiative will be voted on citywide, and the location essential ly means most of Menlo Park would not be directly affected by the project. So its fate is uncertain.

This all may be a har binger of what’s coming across California over the next decade or so.

With all that vacant land and school salaries too low to allow many teachers to buy or rent homes near their jobs, be certain that similar projects will be planned in more and more places.

Carlsbad mayor worried over city’s financial future

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — With less than three months left in his political career, May or Matt Hall is voicing his concerns over the direction of a city he’s helped govern for nearly 30 years.

The highest priority for Hall is preventing the city of Carlsbad from reaching a $10 million deficit by the fiscal year 2025.

While city staff has projected the deficit to be far lower — $2.8 million in FY 2026 and $5 million in FY 2027 — municipal rep resentatives noted a poten tial deficit between $5 and $10 million at an informal meeting with business lead ers earlier this year, accord ing to sources who attended the event.

But instead of focus ing on the maintaining the city’s vision or long-term fi nancial planning, Hall said the council has approved more than 200 “minute” motions — majority approv al of a procedural action or authorization of an agenda item — at a cost of at least $10,000 per motion in staff time and other costs, ac cording to City Manager Scott Chadwick.

Hall also questioned the council’s hiring of more than 80 employees amidst an economic downturn.

Over the past four years, Hall said he has ob served the council dramati cally changing its approach to solving city issues.

“How I see it, it was more micromanaging in stead of staying in your lane with creating policy and the vision-aspect of things,” Hall said. “As a council member, you can’t be all things to all people. When you have a small group that stands up and says we need to do this or that … we just don’t have the bandwidth or manpow er to do that.”

The issue most often cited when discussing wast ed money and minute mo tions is the council’s deci sion to study turning a tree stump into a park bench. The motion passed, con suming nine months of staff time and two consultants at $35,000.

Ultimately, “we ran the stump through the shredder,” Hall said.

Hall said most of the approved motions have never been implemented, draining the city’s budget.

Looking back, Hall said in years past, individ

ual council members were responsible for conducting their own research to de termine whether a proposal was feasible.

The budget concerns, Hall said, has put $15 mil lion to $20 million at risk, especially since the city hasn’t developed new reve nues to offset those costs of employees and motions.

Hall also took aim at the different standards creating the FY 2022-23 budget as compared to years past. This year’s bud get accounts for at least a $300,000 surplus, but us ing last year’s calculations, the city would be “upside down” about $1.6 million, according to Hall.

The approval of the $35 million College Bou levard extension from El Camino Real to Cannon Road has posed another fi nancial hurdle for the city, after the council approved spending at least $2 million on the project in previous budgets.

The council has since “hit the pause button” and the project is expected to go before voters in the next several years.

“That’s why I voted against it in the first place,” Hall said. “Before we spend any money, let’s set the pa rameters and see if the res idents want to pay umpteen million dollars for what developers are supposed to pay for.”

In addition, two City Council goals — trenching the railroad tracks in the Village and linear park — have been rebuffed by a majority of the council. Councilman Peder Norby attempted to put at least $3 million toward the first steps to trench the tracks, while Hall attempted to get “seed money” toward the Carlsbad Boulevard re alignment — both failed.

Both projects have been part of the council’s long-term plans for at least 15 years and the Village trenching is part of SAN DAG’s 2021 Regional Trans portation Plan.

“Both are big projects and will need funding out side city resources,” Hall said. “Step one is to get it to a certain level so we can ask for future funding. Nei ther one of those got the majority vote on the coun cil. To create a goal and not at least partially fund it … You just got to sit and watch where their focus is and it’s not on the future.”

Nearly 200 homes cut from North River Farms

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — The developer of a controversial housing project in South Morro Hills has dramatical ly cut the original number of homes following the set tlement of two lawsuits ear lier this month.

When the Oceanside City Council first approved Integral Communities' North River Farms develop ment in late 2019, the proj ect proposed to build 585 homes on 214 acres of land.

Now, the number of homes has been reduced to 395 homes.

Most of the homes that would have been built south of North River Road were eliminated. Instead, the plan is to preserve even more agricultural and open space — up to 150 acres. The development footprint will only take up 28 acres on the property.

The settlement terms were reached following years of litigation between The NRF Project Owner, owned by developer Inte gral Communities, and two local groups opposed to the original plan, Preserve Calavera and Let Oceans ide Vote.

Following the council’s narrow approval of the proj ect, residents put a refer endum on the 2020 ballot that would give residents – not the City Council –the final approval of North River Farms. Despite the development’s attempts to stop the referendum, voters overwhelmingly denied the project.

Then in May 2021, a judge declared the referen dum void under the Hous ing Crisis Act.

Let Oceanside Vote along with residents Arleen Hammerschmidt and Kath ryn Carbone, who were also named in the lawsuit, ap pealed that decision. Soon after, all parties began ne gotiating settlement terms which include the develop ment’s reduction in homes and addition of more pre served land.

“The settlement is hugely significant,” Ham merschmidt said.

North River Farms also reduced its planned com mercial uses by 45% and cannot build any accessory dwelling units (ADUs) or junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs).

The developer must also mitigate 100% of its greenhouse gas emissions, establishing a greenhouse gas emission bank that will help direct funds back to the community.

“We are proud that the agreement helps address climate change in a mean ingful way,” said Diane Nygaard of Preserve Cala vera.

According to the set tlement terms, the project’s affordable housing element must be built within half a mile from a smart growth corridor.

The developer still plans to build a fire station as originally planned and will provide up to $200,000 in additional wildfire miti gations and safety enhance ments in the area.

“Overall we’re very pleased with how much of a better fit the project is,” Nygaard said. “We fought very hard to get the very best agreement that we could.”

North River Farms will also pay $20,000 to the Women’s Resource Center in Oceanside.

Matt Gunderson is proudly pro-choice

So why is Corrupt Catherine Blakespear lying about Matt’s position on choice? Because she doesn’t want to talk about the truth:

As Mayor of Encinitas, Blakespear awarded lucrative city contracts to companies whose employees donated to her campaign.1

As the Chair of SANDAG, Blakespear was caught spending “hundreds of thousands of dollars on lavish filet mignon dinners” with her taxpayerfunded credit card.2

Blakespear said that repealing the Gas Tax would be the “wrong move”3 and voted for a mileage tax for every mile we drive.4

Man gets nine years for local cyclist’s death

By City News Service

SOLANA BEACH — A man who fatally struck a 75-year-old bicyclist in So lana Beach last year while driving drunk, then fled the scene, was sentenced Tues day to nine years in state prison.

Lucas Beau Morgans, 22, pleaded guilty earlier this year to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxi cated and other charges for fatally striking Allen Hunt er II on June 22, 2021.

Hunter was struck from behind around 10:30 a.m. while riding in the bike lane on Highway 101. Dep uty District Attorney David Jarman alleged the victim was dragged about 86 feet by Morgans' vehicle after the impact.

Hunter was taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, where he died that evening.

Morgans, who the pros ecutor said had a blood-alco hol content of 0.169% about 90 minutes after the crash, was arrested later that day.

Morgans’ attorney, Mi chael Harkness, asked Su perior Court Judge James Simmons for one year in jail, plus probation. The de fense attorney said it was an unusual case that warrant ed probation because his client had suffered a trau matic brain injury and oth er ailments that gave him “the mind of a much young er man, a child to some ex tent.”

Harkness said his client had been drinking the night before and was woken up by his father on the morning of the crash because he was late for a doctor’s appoint ment. The attorney alleged Morgans got behind the wheel without fully realiz ing he was still intoxicated.

He also disagreed with the representation that he fled the scene without re gard for Hunter. Harkness said he tried to call his mother from the scene, but could not reach her and wasn’t sure what to do. He saw others were attending to Hunter, then drove home and reported the crash to police about half an hour later, Harkness said.

“He was a 21-year-old who was scared to death over what had just oc curred,” Harkness told the judge.

But Simmons said a number of factors led him to find that a prison term was more appropriate, includ ing that Morgans had lied to police by saying Hunter swerved into his lane.

Among those who spoke on behalf of Hunter were his son, Allen Hunter III, who told Morgans his father’s life was “gone because you couldn’t take an Uber.”

Rodney Stubbs was rid ing next to Hunter on the day of the crash when “all of a sudden, he disappeared.”

Stubbs said he and oth ers pulled Hunter from un derneath the vehicle, then watched it drive away.

“It could’ve been me,” said Stubbs.

Mas Fina Cantina to close

Report finds Oceanside treasurer violated codes

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — Trea surer Victor Roy violated several conduct and ethics codes, including viewing inappropriate material at a city library and mak ing inappropriate com ments about a dead city employee, according to a third-party investigation report released last week.

Zappia Law Firm con ducted the investigation following several allega tions from Oceanside Treasury Manager Steve Hodg es made against Roy earlier this year.

port also found that Roy was dishonest when he claimed he was only inves tigating a citizen’s com plaint that the library was not filtering inappropri ate material and that the librarian was a liar when she claimed she asked him to leave. Roy could not provide the material he downloaded when asked by investigators.

By Steve Puterski CARLSBAD — For the past 21 years, Mas Fina Cantina has been a favor ite among locals.

The Mexican restau rant nestled on State Street has long been a place for residents to gath er for good food and drink in the heart of Carlsbad Village.

However, Mas Fina Cantina will permanently close its doors on Sept. 30 to make way for Carlsbad Station, a new mixed-use development, prompting regulars to say their good byes and grab their final meals at the popular eat

Mas Fina Cantina hosted its own going-away party on Sept. 24, serving a packed house until the restaurant's doors closed at 2 a.m., according to the restaurant's general man ager Rich Van Dyke.

Van Dyke said the restaurant prepared for a larger-than-average crowd by overstocking food and drinks, but the sheer vol ume of customers through out the day led to record sales, and many items were quickly sold out.

The re port found that Hodges’ allegation that Roy was caught viewing inappro priate material at the Mis sion Branch Library over a year ago in June 2021 was true. A senior librarian saw Roy looking at “adult nudes” and asked him to leave, but instead he stayed and took the photos off of the computer while continuing to download material.

The librarian couldn’t recall if the nude photos were depicting sex acts. She also did not push Roy to leave after he removed the material from the com puter but did report the situation.

Investigators also found that Roy made in appropriate comments about Treasury Techni cian Becky Salvatierra, a 20-year employee with the city who died unexpect edly last year. Roy had demanded to see a copy of her death certificate or an autopsy report, which he told investigators he did because he was worried about taking necessary COVID-19 protective mea sures in the office. The re port found no evidence to back Roy’s claim.

Roy did not respond to The Coast News’ request for comment.

The rest of Hodge’s allegations were found ei ther to be not sustained, lacking in evidence or outside the scope of the in vestigation, including his assertion that Roy made risky investments that cost the city millions.

Local senior earns Scouts’ Gold Award

By Staff ENCINITAS — A lifelong Girl Scout, San Dieguito Academy senior Dorothy Stocks wanted to learn more about handling the real world outside of school and homework.

Stocks, 17, accom plished that goal as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award project (equivalent to the Eagle Scout service project), developing her own website filled with resources and practical information not found in the classroom.

“This project means a lot to me because I can serve my peers,” Stocks told The Coast News. “School focuses so heavily on academics, it can lack the information we need to survive in the world as adults.”

The website is sepa rated into four sections of basic knowledge — employment, personal fi nance, health and home life — to help young adults be successful after leav ing home.

Each section features skills necessary for every day living, from learning how to pay bills, cleaning tips and cooking meals to finding health insurance and purchasing a home (adultlifeskills.org).

Outside of the Girl Scouts, Stocks, daughter of former Encinitas mayor Jerome Stocks, is a mem ber of the Sheriff Depart ment’s Explorer Program, plays lead alto saxophone in the school’s wind en semble and hopes to at tend the U.S. Air Force Academy.

“I like serving my community through Girl Scouts and I want to serve my country, too,” Stocks said.

Stocks, who is bilin gual, wants to study polit ical science or sociology and has applications at a number of other pres tigious schools, includ ing Clemson University, University of Colorado Boulder and several UC schools.

Neighborhood welcomes Pacific Sky School

School funded by Measure MM bond in 2018

By Laura Place

DEL MAR — After years in the making, stu dents, parents and Del Mar Union School District administrators gathered on Friday at the new Pa cific Sky School campus to officially celebrate its opening to students for the 2022-23 school year.

The approximately $50 million project, which also involved the purchase of 10.5 acres of land in the Pacific Highlands Ranch community, first broke ground in the summer of 2021.

The school was funded by the district’s $186 mil lion bond passed in 2018, known as Measure MM, which also supports the ongoing rebuild of Del Mar Heights School.

Pacific Sky is the Del Mar Union School Dis trict’s ninth school, serv ing families in the north east area of the district in Pacific Highlands Ranch. The school has a 450-stu dent capacity, with around 350 students enrolled this year.

The site’s opening has been a dream come true for families in the neighbor hood who were previously forced to commute around 30 minutes to attend Ash ley Falls or Pacific Ranch schools and can now walk or bike to school each day.

Over the past four years, many have provided feedback and input on the design and planning pro cess.

“I’m so thrilled for all of us. This school has the fingerprints of this community all over it,” de clared board member Gee

does not choose or make them. The report also noted that market conditions in 2019 caused a drop in the city’s interest rates.

There was also insuf ficient evidence to back up Hodges’ claims that Roy so licited campaign donations from him.

Hodges’ claim that Roy harassed and retaliated against him was also un proven, however Roy was found to have improperly raised Hodges’ work perfor mance at a Citizens Invest ment Oversight Committee meeting in May.

City Attorney John Mullen said the city has ac cepted the report’s conclu sions and will implement its recommendations, includ ing corrective action.

However, Mullen noted the city manager does not have disciplinary authority over elected officials like the treasurer.

“The purpose of releas ing the report is to be trans parent to the public about the investigator’s findings and conclusions,” Mullen said.

Wah Mok, who lives in the Pacific Highlands Ranch neighborhood.

A crowd of over 100 people, including educa tional leaders and fami lies, gathered on campus Friday at the end of the school day to hold a rib bon-cutting ceremony and tour the school.

Students also per formed a song and a poem honoring Pacific Sky, their new home school.

The K-6 school is de signed to encourage cre ativity and collaboration, with an open floor plan of fering 20 classrooms with indoor and outdoor learn ing spaces, an innovation center, a performing arts stage, STEAM spaces and the district’s central cafe teria.

Pacific Sky principal Alison Fieberg highlight ed the natural light com

ing through wood-slat ceil ings and large windows, various sitting nooks and opportunities for different kinds of learning the cam pus offers.

“Building a strong sense of community is re ally important,” Fieberg said. “You’ll see a lot of

natural light and access to indoor and outdoor learn ing spaces throughout the school. Comfort is also re ally important, so students have choice and agency in

their learning.”

Gang Cheng was one of many parents shown around Pacific Sky on Friday by his first-grade daughter, Evelyn.

She led him over to her drawing of a hot air bal loon, the school’s symbol, reminiscent of the hot air balloons that used to land on the property, hung on the wall alongside those of her classmates.

For Cheng, who partic ipated in the planning pro cess for the school when his daughter was still a baby, seeing Pacific Sky fi nally open was terrific.

“My wife and I par ticipated at the very be ginning — we supported a nice school for the Del Mar district,” he said. “I’m so glad that we actually get to see the results.”

Outside the class rooms, the campus also features a new blacktop area and sports field for students to enjoy.

In 2023, a community park will also open on the neighboring property fea turing playgrounds, ten nis and pickleball courts, a basketball court and a grass field.

Igazed

in fascinated horror at the heirloom pumpkins on display this season. Part of me loved the unexpected col or combinations and tex tures, but part of me wants to rush them to the closest dermatologist with a laser.

I am about to bust out my autumn and Hallow een décor. It is my favorite season and color scheme. I have been known to deco rate like mad, right down to the traditional pump kins on my porch.

I haven’t emotionally moved over to the Cinder ella pumpkins and their strange, bumpy friends. I expect I will, right about the time they go out of style.

Speaking of style, I may, one day soon, simply seize up and carry every piece of furniture I own out to the curb. Next, I will go into hock turning my house into an airy, breezy, beach-themed creature filled with wicker.

Do you sense a theme here? Yep. Our house has hit that age when every thing, and I do mean ev erything, needs refurbish ing and replacing. I have begun to linger over de sign magazines, and even my updated kitchen and bathrooms are looking a little worn.

I could redo the drive way and back patio. Or maybe clean the backyard slopes of detritus, and xeriscape. Or maybe get new windows, screens and French doors. Or simply paint, inside and out. And the fence is leaning. My tummy hurts.

What I really want is a team from “Flip This House,” or some other HGTV show, to drop by, because I want it all done right now, right now, right now. But I’ll settle for soon.

If I stagger around looking a bit dazed in the near future, it will be from home improvement sen sory overload, trying to choose a couch.

Mybride just re ceived a mailed offer for High lights magazine.

This traditional direct mail package had stickers, cover letter, brochure, or der form, and envelope. She’d get 50% off by mov ing a sticker from the mail ing address to the order form.

This interaction was smart, making the custom er feel involved in the pro cess. In fact, everything about the mailer made per fect sense … except us re ceiving it.

For those unfamiliar with Highlights, this publi cation is geared toward kids under 12. It’s full of puzzles, games, stories and useful tools for getting children to develop a love for reading.

I enjoyed it years ago, and today I’m a voracious reader. So … maybe there’s something to it.

Still, I wondered why this mailing appeared in our home. We have one adult child, no grandchil dren and no reason to read or buy Highlights.

The rented mailing list came from a women’s cloth ing company. We know this because my bride inserted an incorrect middle initial when placing her order so we could track just this sort of activity.

We also know that mailing lists are typically overlaid with lots of infor mation floating “out there,” including age, earnings,

Wang said there was no proper way to dispose of cigarettes and called on the council to remove ex ceptions in the staff’s ordi nance drafting. The motion included development of a policy change that would eliminate smoking tobacco in public spaces, but leaves out smoking in moving ve hicles and private places.

“No matter how you dispose of that cigarette butt, it’s going to go to the landfill, at best,” he said, adding… “but everything ends up in the ocean.”

In introducing a pos sible ordinance, Commis sioner Mark O’Connor said cigarette butts make up a large percentage of the trash collected in coastal cleanups.

More than 35,000 cig arette filters were pickup during the 2020 Coastal Clean Up Day, O’Connor said. The Surfrider Foun dation reported collecting more than 52,700 filters

Which suggests High lights concluded women on this mailing list are proba bly a soft touch to buy a sub scription for their grand children.

They also probably know that boomers, more than any other generation, prefer to read promotional direct mail over digital me dia.

So even though we aren’t the right audience, their strategy worked.

Regardless of who you’re selling to, you can also use direct mail to pro mote your business. After all, the infrastructure’s al ready in place to econom ically reach every home in America. And you should also know:

• Direct mail res onates with Gen Z, since there’s a novelty factor. They respond 100 times more frequently than with digital ads.

• 47% of millennials can be counted on to visit your website after receiv ing direct mail.

• 68% of Gen-Xers use coupons they receive in the mail.

• 89% of boomers look for special offers in the mail.

Add it together and you’ll find an economical strategy for driving any au dience to your website to buy practically any product or service.

Meaning if you haven’t included direct mail in your marketing strategy, per haps it’s time to reconsider that decision.

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

Enacting a smoking ban, joining 26 other cities in the state, would reduce pollution in the city and for marine environments.

Caltrans, SANDAG Build NCC Project lifts 55-mph speed limit from Lomas Santa Fe Drive to Poinsettia Lane on I-5

On Friday, September 30 Caltrans and SANDAG Build North Coast Corridor (NCC) highway construc tion crews will replace 55MPH speed limit signs with 65-MPH speed limit signs and remove all work zone signage from Lomas Santa Fe Drive to Poinsettia Lane on northbound and south bound Interstate 5 (I-5).

The replacement of the speed limit signs signifies the substantial completion of the Build NCC project within the stated limits. Build NCC crews will com plete additional landscap ing and maintenance work over the next few years and will follow safety reg ulations when conducting work on the side of the highway.

Nine miles of Carpool/ HOV Lanes were opened to the public on March 22, 2022. Construction of four new miles of Carpool/HOV Lanes is ongoing in the City of Carlsbad from Palo mar Airport Road to State Route 78 (SR 78).

The 55-MPH speed limit will remain in effect from Poinsettia Lane to SR 78 for the safety of all motorists and construction crews. These new Carpool/ HOV Lanes are anticipated to be complete in summer 2023.

To ensure safety for both motorists and the con struction crews during this work, drivers are remind ed to “Drive 55 on the 5”

in the active construction zone and that traffic fines are doubled in construction zones.

Bill would ban camping near ‘sensitive’ areas

By Steve Puterski

ESCONDIDO — A new draft bill from State Sen. Brian Jones (R-Santee) aims to prevent homeless encampments near schools, parks, libraries and daycare centers and allow cities to better enforce the proposed law.

Jones, who represents the 38th District and is run ning for the newly-drawn 40th, along with former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulcon er, Escondido Councilman Joe Garcia and others held a press conference on Sept. 23 at Grape Day Park to an nounce the draft legislation.

The venue was selected at the popular Escondido park — which has become an inland “hot spot” for the homeless population — and to highlight the growing issue across the San Diego region.

“This will help protect our most vulnerable popu lation, our children,” Jones said. “When conducting a sweep, the bill requires law enforcement officers to provide information about sleeping alternatives, home less and mental health ser vices and homeless shelters. This will connect homeless individuals to desperately needed services as we com passionately clear these en campments.”

Jones said the bill is modeled after an ordinance recently passed in the city of Los Angeles, where the city is grappling with a homeless crisis and encamp

ments overwhelming the city's public spaces.

The draft language of the bill would make it ille gal to have a camp within 1,000 feet of "sensitive ar eas" — schools, parks, li braries and daycares. Law enforcement would first issue a 72-hour notice to va cate or face a possible mis demeanor offense.

“The street is not a home. Period,” Faulcon er said. “Homelessness is soaring in California and

soaring in San Diego. It’s devastating for the people who are living it and devas tating for the communities who are experiencing it. We cannot allow homeless en campments to overhwhelm the cornerstones of our com munity.”

Jones’ team also said the bill has the support of Bill Walton, the basketball legend, who was recently attacked by a homeless in dividual in Balboa Park. Walton has since asked San

Diego Mayor Todd Gloria to resign due to his alleged lack of response to the city of San Diego's growing homelessness crisis and public safety and health concerns.

“Things are worse now than ever before and our lives are being dictated by an out-of-control and unruly homeless population,” Wal ton said at the joint press conference with Lucky Duck Foundation board member Dan Shea.

For Jones and other lawmakers in support of the bill, homeless advocates argued this legislation will put the homeless, especial ly the those with mental illnesses or disabilities, at greater risk, forcing people to populate other areas in those jurisdictions with no resources.

Greg Anglea of Inter faith Community Services in Escondido, said there are 99 shelter beds in North County — all of which are occupied, including the re covery beds at Interfaith.

While Angela said the nonprofit is “interested” in the bill, the organization does not support its current language and stated it must have funding or resources for shelters, housing and treatment and day centers so homeless people have a place to go.

“We would support prohibiting people from sensitive places if they had a place to go,” Anglea said. “There are not shelter beds, there are not treatment pro grams that are open and accessible and there is not housing that individuals can afford.”

Vista man gets five years for pandemic scam

By City News Service VISTA — A Vista man who pleaded guilty to tak ing more than $300,000 in unemployment benefits in tended for those who’d lost work during the COVID-19 pandemic was sentenced Sept. 19 to nearly five years in federal prison.

Darris Cotton, 30, submitted at least 16 false applications for benefits by using other people’s names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers, according to the U.S. At torney’s Office.

Those applications led the California Em ployment Development Department to mail debit cards to Cotton, which he used to buy money orders to obtain the funds, prose cutors say.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Cotton also submitted fraudulent ap plications in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Arizona and used the funds to buy “lux ury items such as Gucci backpacks.” As part of the plea deal, Cotton agreed to forfeit over $112,000 in money orders and curren cy seized from him.

“This defendant ex ploited an unemployment insurance program that was intended to be a safe ty net for workers who suf fered financial hardship during a global pandem ic,” U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman said. “Crimes like this took money away from those who truly need ed it.”

A sentencing memo submitted by Cotton’s at torney said he was “deeply remorseful” for the crime and was not aware at the time the conduct would hurt ordinary citizens.

In 2020, the Carlsbad City Council approved developer McKellar Mc Gowan's Carlsbad Station project consisting of 79 res idential and four commer cial units in two buildings along State and Roosevelt streets between Grand and Beech avenues.

The development will include 12 affordable hous ing units with 143 under ground parking spaces. Each dwelling unit will range in size from 747 to 2,840 square feet.

Carlsbad Station will surround State Street Com mons on State Street, a newer redevelopment proj ect that includes Lofty Cof fee, Nick’s on State, Pure Taco and working spaces.

In addition to Mas Fina Cantina and Hennessey's Tavern, the 177,95-squarefoot development will dis place Carlsbad Yoga and Karlsbad Realty, among other spots.

“What we built was a family-friendly (agricul tural) environment where adults and kids can safely play,” Ukegawa told the commission. “We’re not a fairground or carnival. I was told many times by staff there were many let

ters of complaint. We asked staff three times to see the letters. We had to make a FOIA request, and there were no letters. There was one phone call against us.”

The city was pushing for fewer uses at the farm land, suggesting Ukegawa either eliminate “fair grounds”-type activities

— face painting, stage per formances and inflatable bounce houses — or apply for a conditional use permit.

Since “recreational facilities” are not defined under the municipal code, the city applied “active and passive recreation” under “open spaces” to deter mine that stage and musical

performances, inflatable bounce houses, alcohol sales and consumption, face painting, mechanical bull riding, food trucks and ven dors, and “high-pressured cannons that shoot apples at targets” are not permitted.

City Planner Eric Lardy, who visited the site, said agritourism is not per

mitted in a public utility zone, requiring a condition al use permit.

“Some of the uses are intense, and the relation to agriculture is unclear,” Lardy said, acknowledging "there have been no specif ic complaints or accidents related to activities to the site.”

If required to obtain a conditional-use permit, Ukegawa said he would be responsible for road and intersection improvements at Cannon Road and Paseo Del Norte and installing a left-hand turn lane and new sidewalk. The estimat ed cost of the upgrades and construction — at least $3 million — would put the farm out of business, ac cording to Ukegawa.

Mike Howes, a con sultant for the farm, said it made no sense for Uke gawa to apply for a condi tional use permit, likely a two-year process, especial ly when San Diego Gas & Electric, owner of the land,

can sell the parcel and shut down the Carlsbad straw berry fields at any time. Additionally, Howes said SDG&E would never sign a permit.

Howes insisted that farming is the primary function at the strawberry fields and the other recre ational attractions are an cillary to supplement reve nue and costs. Additionally, the current zoning allows the concept of “by right,” which they believe allows the tenant to expand an op eration without concessions or permits.

“I’m wondering why we’re here tonight,” Howes told the commission, noting Ukegawa is the last unsub sidized farmer from the bor der to Oxnard. “The public utility zone is the only area in the city that allows pas sive and active uses by right. The uses are ancillary to ag riculture. None of these are there when strawberries aren’t there, or pumpkins aren’t there.”

Supporters of the straw berry fields questioned the city’s motives for initiating a 13-month saga with Uke gawa, named Carlsbad’s Citizen of the Year, in 2021. Residents also asked how a single phone call could elic it a strong response from the city.

Lisa Rodman, execu tive director of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Founda tion, said if the Carlsbad Strawberry Company were to go out of business, the foundation would soon fol low. Rodman said her or ganization receives most of its funding from the fields, including $200,000 in con tributions over the past two years.

At one point during the meeting, staff and commis sioners ventured deep into the weeds of legal terminol ogy and land-use definition, prompting the audience to audibly jeer as they debat ed the purpose and use of a shade structure at the farm.

“Shade,” members of the audience yelled.

More confusion ensued after Commissioner Joseph Stine struggled to convey which activities Ukegawa requested to continue at the farm, prompting Ukeg awa and Howes to question whether they were asking for the correct permissions.

Additionally, pictures provided by Ukegawa of the uses in question were disal lowed by Mike Strong, the city’s assistant community development director. But just minutes later, the com mission referred back to the photos for more clarity.

When the dust settled, Commissioner Peter Merz and Stine acknowledged that the staff was “techni cally right.” Still, they not ed that due to the structure of state laws and municipal codes, the city has flexibil ity when making land-use determinations based on recreational activities.

Commissioner Kevin Sabellico expressed con cerns about the scale of the inflatable bounce houses but was persuaded to allow the strawberry fields to con tinue offering the disputed activities.

“Let’s err on the side of freedom in this one in stance,” Sabellico said.

Local orgs to debut Haunted Ghost Town at Heritage Ranch

ENCINITAS — A new historical fright fest is com ing to the city with help from local favorites.

The San Dieguito Her itage Museum and Ovation

Theatre, an award-win ning studio and production company, will kickoff its first-ever Haunted Ghost Town production at Her itage Ranch the last two weekends in October.

Local actors tell the story of a bride, an evil son, and murderous mother-inlaw — with local history featured among the spooky scenes. Walking through the Teten House, visitors will be led through this in teractive play.

The story is inspired by the legend of Brigadoon, “a town that rises from the mist every year,” said Scott Gregory, who leads the Ova tion Theatre with his wife, Pamela.

“In this case people want to try to find peace, redemption, or keep the people away so that they don’t find out what they did to cause the town to disap pear,” Gregory said.

Festivities begin with a family-friendly (and less scary) events starting at 5:30 p.m. and the “horrify ingly frightening tours” be ing at 6:30 p.m.

At a time when the Ova tion Theatre was practicing safe distancing during the coronavirus pandemic, the Heritage Museum allowed the performers to rehearse in the outdoor areas of the ranch at 450 Quail Gardens Drive.

Barb Grice, executive director of the San Dieguito Heritage Museum, said the board wanted an event to reconnect with the public after COVID-19 — and they had the right place.

“This property kind of lends itself to being a haunt ed ghost town, with the old houses and the old build ings.” Grice said, and the spooky goal was created.

But the board needed a little help in execution.

During one practice, Kerry Witkin, a Heritage Museum board member and Ovation performer, suggest ed the organizations team up for a haunted house.

“It was 7:30 at night,” said Gregory, the co-exec utive and music director for Ovation Theatre, “I was looking around, and thought ‘Yeah, that’s super creepy, that would be fun.”

Gregory, who wrote the script for the augural Haunted Ghost Town, said that the company’s actors are currently getting les sons on how to cause a fright.

Keeping actors (most of which are students) safety in mind, the director ex plained that visitors will not be face-to-face with characters as may be found in haunted houses.

“I call this more of a haunt, not a scare,” Gregory said. “We have some scary moments, people jump out from behind things and that kind of stuff, but this is more of a fright kind of idea…. Because it’s really hard to get up close to peo ple and make it work when it’s outdoors because there’s no place to hide necessari ly.”

Grice also hopes to bring some new volunteers into the museum. As local school history tours are starting back up at San Di eguito Heritage Museum, Grice is excited to continue engaging with the public and making memories.

Volunteers are crucial to both the flow and char acter of the museum, Grice said. She recalled when a current teenage volun teer told her she was intro duced to the San Dieguito Heritage Museum during a third-grade field trip. Ac cording to Grice, the young girl said the museum had made a strong impression on the class, inspiring her to volunteer.

“I just think that’s probably one of the cool est things is to know that you do make an impres sion up on these kids when they’re young,” Grice said. “Who knows who you might touch.”

The Haunted Ghost Town will run the weekends of Oct. 21-23 and Oct. 28-30. Tickets for adults are $20 and $10 for children. Pro ceeds will be split between the organizations and put back into their work.

Viewpoint Brewing a different craft beer experience

BY Jeff Spanier

The loved ones of craft beer enthusi asts become accus tomed to long drives through industrial areas to find yet another “unique” warehouse brewery.

They are further ac customed to finding mild amusement in how a ware house space has been con verted to an entertainment venue — or at least at the attempt to do so.

And they eat their fair share of food truck fare and pretzels.

Those loved ones de serve a break. And View point Brewing Company in Del Mar is the exact reward they’ve earned. The stun ning location offers excep tional food, great beer and a view that lives up to the name.

Located on the San Di eguito River just south of the Del Mar Fairgrounds, Viewpoint also offers a rus tic walking trail just out side the premises for a postmeal stroll.

There’s nothing lost for the beer lover, either. Viewpoint serves an im pressive list of “eclectic house-brewed styles,” in cluding core beers and new releases.

The tried and true core beers, such as Del Martian Amber Ale, Moe’s (-aic) Pale Ale, Big Hat Blonde

and Penitent Man IPA are stellar, but I always find something new to enjoy. On this visit, it was the

Bohemian Raspberry Tart Wheat. A slightly tart ale made with over 450lbs of raspberries.

Regulars Chris and Fiona Everett were enjoy ing lunch on a warm Sep tember afternoon when I met them. “The waiters and waitresses know us by name. We eat here at least once a week,” shared Chris Everett.

“We love coming here with our family. We come here for the food, for the people, and of course for the location,” said Chris.

“I always order the fish

tacos. They are my favor ite,” added Fiona.

“I’ve had everything on the menu,” said Chris. “But my favorite is the Peri Peri Halibut. I love it. I try to eat it slowly because I en joy it so much; I don’t want it to end.”

As far as beer goes, Chris was enjoying his fa vorite Viewpoint beer, Dias Largos, a Mexican-style la ger.

Fiona had a glass of wine, another bonus for the faithful loved one of the beer enthusiasts. “It’s a great vibe here; that’s why we come back,” added Fio na.

Dean St. Martin was also spending his afternoon working at his “away from home” office, looking over the lagoon.

“The best part about Viewpoint is the impecca ble service,” said St. Mar tin. “They work hard to make sure beers come out cold and the food is always perfect.”

Moe Katomski, head brewer at Viewpoint said from the beginning, the brewery has wanted to pair beer and food.

“That was founder Charles Koll’s idea from

the start,” Katomski said. “We make beer for the food we’re serving. For ex ample, in the English Pale Ale (Tinny Smasher), Chef Mike Patula made a cur ry fry to go with it, and it

This light lager is a col laboration beer made with Embolden Brewing. It’s a 4% rice lager with a slight sweetness and maltiness.

was a phenomenal pairing. Our vegan Farmer’s Burger paired with something hop py, like our Penitent Man IPA, is always good. I’ve been digging that lately.

“We make sure that when we have new beers, our whole team gets togeth er and tastes them and we talk about what menu items will pair nicely. That way the wait staff knows what to recommend.”

When asked about his favorite food and beer pair ing, Katomski had quite a list but landed on the cevi che tacos and the Enlitened [sic] Views lager.

with the ceviche tacos. It was an exceptional lunch. With twenty beers on tap, Katomski ensures various new offerings complement the core beers.

“We don’t do a lot of production for outside the restaurant,” said Katomski. “That’s the fun of having a pub. We make the beer we want to make and want to drink.

Keep supporting our local breweries. But take time to enjoy San Diego’s beauty as well.

And I can’t think of a better way to do that than a visit to Viewpoint Brewing Company for a great meal and a few excellent beers in a setting that will make you want to stay just a little longer.

Restaurateur

Linda DiNitto, the own er of 264 Fresco in Carlsbad Village, extended her village restau rant portfolio with the opening of Fresco Cocina, a few blocks from 264 Fresco.

Fresco Cocina pays homage to DiNitto’s up bringing in Venezuela, and her cocinas unite her Ital ian culture and childhood.

With the help of sea soned executive chef Chris Idso and general manager Eric Ensch, the trio created a modern Latin American eatery influenced by dish es from Peru, Venezuela, Brazil and more, ranging from happy hour bar food to small plates to entrees.

If Idso’s name sounds familiar, it is likely readers have experienced his cui sine during his almost 20year stint at Pacifica Del Mar as the executive chef and a managing partner.

“I am new to Latin cui sine, loving the challenge of Americanizing tradition al South American flavors, and I am having fun,” Idso said.

Idso is leveraging his strong seafood background to create exceptional en trees with fresh fish, steak and hearty sides such as black rice, plantains, beans, potatoes and squash.

I chose the Roast ed Chilean Seabass Pibil baked in banana leaves and then finished with a pan-searing sauté to create a crisp, flavorful exterior.

This was served over black rice and chayote

squash and topped with roasted corn salsa. Frank’s choice was an enticing Brazilian Churrasco prime skirt steak alongside finger ling potatoes, charred cip polini onions and broccolini topped with herb chimich urri.

We started dinner with Duros, which consists of de lightful puffed wheat with a mole dry rub. This is the equivalent of tortilla chips at a Mexican restaurant or bread at an Italian ristoran te.

These, along with deepfried plantain chips, were perfect for the newly re leased Brazilian Feijoada “Dip” created with slowcooked black beans, braised short ribs, cured chorizo, to matoes and queso fresco.

Kate, our outstanding server, was kind enough to “break the rules” and serve us the heavenly Feijoada, which is usually only part of the happy hour menu served at the bar Monday to Friday from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. The Feijoada by itself is worth a stop to explore Happy Hour.

We also split the Braised Short Rib Empana da with pickled raisins, and the Beer-Battered Pacifi co Sea Bass Street Tacos served on fresh pressed

blue corn tortillas. Add the optional rice and beans to the three tacos, and you quickly have a meal. Ensch is dual-hatted as the bever age manager and has creat ed Latin-infused cocktails to equal Idso’s culinary cre ations. Together they are a dynamic duo. Fresco’s bev erage choices are sure to please one’s palate.

Ensch harmonizes his cocktails with local craft beers and ales represent ing Latin flavors as well as wines from California and South America, leaving oldworld wines and those from Washington and Oregon ab sent.

This completely fits with Fresco’s Modern Lat in theme. I had the North Coast Laguna Baja and Dark Mexican Lager during our starters. Over dinner, I enjoyed an Antinori Haras de Pirque cabernet sauvi gnon from Chile that paired well with the flavorful Chil ean sea bass.

Frank had the Trefethen “Eshcol” red blend from Napa Valley, a superb pairing for the Bra zilian Churrasco. Frank and I were impressed with Ensch’s expansive wine list and the glass selections.

A standout at Fres co Cocina is the different guest areas. These include the expansive, opulent walllit bars, the Deck with Latin music playing in the back ground, Pink Room (a pri vate section off the bar with eight tables) and Grand and Baja Patios, perfect for din ing, conversation and peo

ple watching.

The bottom line: Fres co Cocina, with its modern Latin cuisine and unique vibe in Carlsbad Village, is a one-of-a-kind experience. We think our readers will love this new gem, whether it’s for lunch, dinner, hap py hour, brunch, a group meeting, celebration, drink, date, catching a game or any affair.

Be on the lookout for Taco Tuesday coming soon. Congrats Linda, Chris and Eric!. More info at frescoco cina.com.

Even though the term “sidewalk surfing” had pretty much faded from our vocabulary by the mid 1970s, skateboarding was still considered surfing’s little brother.

For me and many oth er surfers, skateboarding was simply a way to keep the rhythm flowing when the waves went flat.

be sitting under an umbrella at an Ikea patio table less than a stone’s throw from the iconic Encinitas sign — still arching gracefully over the coastal highway—but I feel a bit like I’m back in Brook lyn.*

The vibe at Ironsmith is casual and relaxed. The cafe is narrow, with a long tree trunk bench along one side and the coffee bar tak ing up most of the space.

A roll-up garage door sub stitutes for the front wall, bringing the breezes from outside in when up. The floors are finished concrete. The coffee bar shines. Blonde wood shelving above holding up the menu board softens the vibe.

Like every hip Brook

lyn coffee bar I’ve ever been to, hip-hop beats float through the air, out the door, and dissipate over the 20 or so patio chairs, which are sparsely populated this late on a fall morning.

This is my favorite time of year in Southern Califor nia. But, unlike every hip Brooklyn coffee bar I’ve ever been to, the weather is still perfect in September.

Warm days bleed into cool nights. Summer, and

the crowds that flock to Encinitas with it, are gone. This gap between Labor Day and the influx of for eign tourists is when locals reclaim their neighbor hood streets, sidewalks and beaches — not that they ever give them up complete ly.

Like every hip Brook lyn coffee bar, there is a guy near the door chatter ing away about his start-up while clacking away on his

While I drink, I con sider pairing it with a Lava Cake Muffin, offered here only on Mondays, from the nearby Herb & Sea restau rant.

Like every hip Brook lyn coffee bar, Ironsmith Coffee Roasters is cool. Un like many hip Brooklyn cof fee bars, they don’t seem to be trying too hard. They are just cool.

So, I bought a Bruce Logan Model, Logan Earth Ski, and skated around town until road rash got the best of me and I spent a week picking gravel out of my mangled hip. Ouch!

Just over the hill, on a ribbon of asphalt in the newly built development of La Costa, skateboarding paradise was coming into focus at a place affection ately known as the “Black Hill.”

It was there that some of the top skateboarders in the world, a group that included Bruce, Brad, Bri an and Robin Logan along with Ty “Mr. Incredible” Page, who were carving their names on the tarmac for future generations to read.

Just last week, skate boarder Di Dootson breathed life onto the Black Hill, where contes tants raced the clock to achieve the bottom, much as they had half a century earlier. Among the young est of the crew back in the day was Gregg Weaver, aka the Cadillac Kid.

While Weaver could have earned that moniker simply for his satin smooth skating style, it was really a tip of the hat to one of his sponsors, Cadillac Wheels.

Founded by inventor Frank Nasworthy, Cadil lac introduced urethane wheels to skateboarding, something that led the sport to a vertical world of pools and ramps that con tinue to keep skaters float ing high above the earth.

I first met Weaver at a skateboarding contest I initiated in the mid-’70s. While I don’t remember any of the other competi tors, I still recall that Gregg and his friends Sam Mattio li and Scott Williams were dominant that day. The first

prize, which was taken by Weaver, was a Hobie Skate board. (Perhaps ironically, Hobie would soon become Gregg’s sponsor, along with Cadillac Wheels, and sev eral other sponsors.)

Gregg is a great skater in the same way that Gerry Lopez is a great surfer. His was a minimalist approach to the sport, focusing on grace and flow rather than rapid-fire moves, which is something only the most precocious of youth ever understands.

I never knew whether he learned his style or if he was simply born to it. Regardless, it has inspired older surfers like me, who were raised to be stylish at all costs, and younger surf er/skaters who were raised on more flashy and abrupt movements.

I always felt that Gregg was a reluctant child star, enjoying the fruits of fame and whatever cash it gen erated, but only for a sea son. Eventually, however, the bright lights that ini tially entice us, can blind us, causing some to seek streams of cool water in distant regions.

In Weaver’s case, he found those cooling streams on the Big Island of Hawaii where he lived for a time without many of his neighbors realizing that he once ranked highly among skateboarding royalty. (He was inducted in the Skate boarding Hall of Fame in 2017.)

While I loved watching him surf or skate, it was not Weaver’s ability on a surf board or a skateboard that I admire most in him. That would be the downhome neighborliness that makes him accessible to people like me who once rolled down the sidewalk trying not to fall while he was ex hibiting grace under pres sure, the exact definition of style, on the Black Hill.

STATE & PROPS

A preview of California Legislature races and ballot propositions

TheCoast News looks at state Senate and Assembly races impacting North County San Diego voters, discussing with candidates their proposed solutions to matters of regional and lo cal importance.

Additionally, over the past two months, The Coast News sent electronic ques tionnaires in four batches to North County candidates at different levels of gov ernment, including federal, state, municipal/county and school boards.

The information con tained herein is directly from nine candidates in the 38th and 40th State Senate districts and 75th, 76th, 77th State Assembly districts (Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner Horvath did not respond to repeated at tempts to reach her office and did not participate in the questionnaire).

As a local newspaper, The Coast News wanted to share this information before mail-in ballots are received so voters can de cide for themselves who is best suited to represent their interests in public of fic based on the candidates’ own words.

State Senate

Republican candidate

Matt Gunderson and En cinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear, a Democrat, are facing off for the 38th State Senate District seat currently held by a termedout State Sen. Pat Bates (R-Laguna Niguel).

Redistricting shifted what was a slightly Repub lican-leaning region to the newly drawn 38th District that now holds a Democrat ic majority, according to po litical data consultants.

District 38 will now run from roughly San Onofre in the north to Mission Beach in the south, adding more coastal North County cities, including Del Mar, La Jol la, and Pacific Beach, while losing some of the Orange County territory held by the old District 36, such as Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills and Dana Point.

“As a three-term may or, I have balanced budgets in my city, I have listened to constituents across a wide range of different political viewpoints, I have a pulse on the things people care about and that unquestion ably helps me be stronger elected at the state level,” Blakespear told The Coast News. “I think we need people at the state level delivering real results, find ing common ground that people can believe in, and

I’ve done that as mayor, and my record as local official demonstrates that I’m that person.”

For Gunderson, any real change in California on issues such as homeless ness, crime or cost of living has to start with the un raveling of the Democrats’ stronghold in both legisla tive branches.

“We don’t need more Democrats in Sacramento,” Gunderson previously told The Coast News. “One-par ty rule is destroying this state, so sending another Democrat to replace a Re publican will not be mak ing meaningful progress towards solving the state’s problems.

“At the end of the day, my motivation for running is that California is no lon

ger the Golden State. In fact, it’s tarnished — it’s tarnished with excessive homelessness, rampant crime, and a cost of living that is forcing our children and grandchildren to leave the state because they can’t afford to live here.”

Blakespear has re ceived a number of en dorsements at the state and regional level, including the California Democratic Party, San Diego County Democratic Party, Orange County Democratic Party, California Teachers Asso ciation, California Nurses Association, Laborer’s In ternational Union of North America, AFSCME Califor nia, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, Assemblymember Tasha Boerner Horvath (D-Encinitas), Rep. Mike

Levin (CA-49) and Assem blyman Brian Maienschein (D-San Diego).

Gunderson has re ceived endorsements from the California Republican Party, Howard Jarvis Tax payer Association, North San Diego County Associa tion of Realtors, Oceanside Police Officers Association, San Diego Police Officers Association, Republican Party of Orange County, Republican Party of San Diego, Supervisor Jim Desmond, Supervisor Joel Anderson, Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes, Carls bad Mayor Matt Hall, Del Mar Councilmember Dan Quirk, and former Encini tas mayors Sheila Cameron, Kristin Gaspar and Pam Slater-Price.

Blakespear, who also serves as the chairperson of SANDAG, has faced a rocky summer campaign after losing the San Diego Union-Tribune Editorial Board’s endorsement to fel low Democrat Joe Kerr in the leadup to the June pri mary.

The board cited sever al issues, including Blake spear blocking residents with opposing viewpoints from participating on her mayoral Facebook page, a SANDAG auditor’s report revealing the agency’s staff

spent hundreds of thou sands of dollars on purchas es deemed “improper” and “questionable,” and the city of Encinitas running afoul with the state Attorney General after the council initially denied a 277-unit apartment complex in Ol ivenhain.

In recent weeks, Blake spear has refused to public ly debate Gunderson and has focused her campaign on reproductive freedom, supporting a statewide bal lot proposition that would codify a woman’s right to abortion into the state con stitution (Reproductive rights, including abortion, are already protected un der state law).

In a series of newslet ters, television commer cials and campaign mailers, Blakespear has claimed to be “the only pro-choice can didate” in the race for the 38th District seat, despite Gunderson’s platform as a pro-choice Republican.

“Catherine Blakespear is outright lying about Matt Gunderson — he’s been on the record as pro-choice for 30 years,” said Gunderson consultant Duane Dichiara. “She’s lying because she doesn’t want to talk about her support for the gas tax

or that she voted for four tax increases last Decem ber, including the mileage tax that taxes every mile we drive. She’s lying be cause she doesn’t want to talk about the scandals at SANDAG or her history of corruption — rewarding big campaign contributors with taxpayer money. She’s lying because she doesn’t want to talk about the 74% increase in homeless and 31% in crease in crime in her own city. She clearly thinks she has to lie about Gunderson because she can’t stand on her own record.”

40th District

Facing a nine-point loss in the June primary, Dem ocratic State Senate candi date Joseph Rocha believes he can make up ground to unseat Republican incum bent State Sen. Brian Jones (R-Santee).

Both are running for the 40th State Senate Dis trict formerly represented by State Sen. Ben Hueso (D-San Diego).

The newly drawn dis trict now covers from just north of Fallbrook, San Marcos, Escondido, Poway, much of Sorrento Valley, Ramona, Santee and Mount Laguna.

In the primary, Jones secured a 54-45 primary win and looks to continue his momentum through the Nov. 8 general election.

Jones also rolled out a draft bill on Sept. 23 re garding homelessness, a pressing issue for both can didates.

Jones said his cam paign is running smooth and is targeting four issues — cost of living, homeless ness, rising crime and ed ucation. He said one of the easiest ways to tackle cost of living, and immediately, is to suspend the gas tax, citing fuel is still over $5 per gallon and the impacts other states have seen when suspending their gas taxes.

His new bill on home lessness is similar to an ordinance in Los Angeles that allows municipalities to identify “sensitive ar eas” and give the homeless 72 hours written notice to relocate.

As for Rocha, a veter an, he said he is confident the district will turn in his favor and has been hard at work with canvassing to close the gap. His priorities include homelessness, cost of living, jobs, veterans is sues and protecting abor tion rights.

Rocha said the cost of prescription drugs is out of control and legislation is needed, like the state did with insulin, to ensure res idents can afford medica tions and not have to choose between rent, food or med icine.

State Assembly

74th District

Republican incumbent Assemblywoman Laurie Davies (R-Laguna Niguel), who currently represents the 73rd District, will face off against Democratic challenger Chris Duncan in the newly drawn 74th Dis trict.

The cities of Oceans ide and Vista along with a small portion of Fallbrook now fall under the 74th district, which also covers much of Camp Pendleton as well as the South Orange County cities of San Clem ente, Laguna Niguel, Dana Point and San Juan Capist rano.

Oceanside, Vista and Camp Pendleton were pre viously grouped under the 76th district represented by Assemblymember Tasha Boerner Horvath (D-Encin itas).

Davies was first elect ed to the California State Assembly in 2020 following her time serving as mayor of Laguna Niguel. Duncan currently serves as the mayor pro tem of San Cle mente.

While both candidates are based in Orange Coun ty, they feel strong connec tions to the North San Di ego County cities they aim to represent.

Duncan previously lived in Carlsbad for sever al years and has spent time campaigning in the area, opening an office in Oceans ide and connecting with lo cal leaders like Oceanside Mayor Esther Sanchez and Vista Councilmembers Joe Green, Corinna Contreras and Katie Melendez.

“I think the people of this district are looking for a pragmatic leader,” Dun can said.

Davies has also estab lished herself in the region, joining both Oceanside and Vista Chambers of Com

merce. As a business owner, Davies sees the importance of small local businesses.

“Small businesses make up a lot of revenue for cities,” she said. “I want to get to know them and see what concerns they have.”

Duncan has so far raised $347,343 through 531 contributions; mean while Davies has outpaced him with $610,598 through 347 contributions. Dun can noted that despite the amount in contributions she has received, his have come from more “grassroots” ef forts through individuals and smaller organizations.

76th District

Voters in California’s new 76th State Assembly District are faced with a choice between Democrat ic incumbent Brian Maien schein and Republican challenger Kristie BruceLane in the Nov. 8 election.

The most recent re districting process moved many residents into the 76th district who previously voted in the 77th and 75th districts, with the addition of inland areas such as San Marcos and Escondido as well as the areas of San Pasqual, Rancho Penasqui tos, Fairbanks Ranch and parts of Carmel Valley and elimination of Mira Mesa and Poway to the south.

Maienschein has held his seat as a 77th district representative since 2012, and is now running to rep resent the new 76th. He has recently championed legislature increasing

post-release restrictions on sexually violent predators and establishing a state Officer Wellness and Men tal Health Grant program along with various gun vio lence prevention bills.

Bruce-Lane is the cur rent Division 4 Director for the Olivenhain Munici pal Water District and has served in leadership roles for various committees and organizations related to homelessness. She is the founder of the Thumbprint Project Foundation, which seeks to support homeless children who have experi enced domestic violence.

Political analysts say the addition of more con servative inland cities has transformed the 76th into a much more competitive arena for Republicans, as demonstrated by the June 7 primary, where just over half of voters opted for a Republican candidate over Maienschein.

“I think this makes it a very competitive district. Incumbents always have an edge, but the primary results indicate that this is gonna be a battleground,” said Thad Kousser, a polit ical science professor at the UC San Diego.

As of the most re cent contribution report ing period ending June 30, Maienschein’s cam paign had raised a total of $629,801.57 since the beginning of the calendar year, with the largest con tributions coming from the California Democratic Par ty in the form of $30,641.22

in non-monetary donations.

Maienschein also re ceived several $9,700 dona tions from political action committees including the California Nurses Associ ation, California Teachers Association and American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees.

Bruce-Lane’s campaign fundraising trails behind Maienschein’s, having raised a total of $204,978.16 so far this calendar year. Top contributors include the Gallagher for Assembly campaign and Friends of Frank Bigelow for Assem bly, each giving a total of $9,800 between two sepa rate contributions.

77th District

For several months prior to the June prima ry, Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner Horvath (D-Enci nitas) appeared to be head ing into her third term un opposed after Republican challenger Melanie Burk holder dropped out of the race in January.

But the lawmaker is facing a new Republican opponent in the race, Point Loma business owner, en trepreneur and financial advisor, Dan Downey.

“The number one issue we need to tackle in this state is the cost of living, and specifically, the high est taxes in California,” Downey said. “During this time with unprecedented inflation, it’s even more ur gent to take a look at the level of taxation in this state…and then you can fo

cus on the electric bills and fees” — all of which add up “to the highest cost of liv ing in the country.”

“The second thing I’ve noticed in this district is our problem with home lessness,” Downey contin ued. “I’ve also lived in San Francisco and other cities that have a problem with homelessness, and I think that it has to do with a state that’s under one-party rule. We’ve seen how the Demo crats are going to approach this issue. It’s time for a new approach.”

While Boerner Hor vath did not respond to multiple requests for inter views and participation in the questionnaire, she pre viously told The Coast News that her campaign will cen ter on the issue of climate change, which she says is presently the most pressing policy matter facing dis trict residents.

Boerner Horvath also touted her work on advanc ing such policies in the state legislature and pledged to continue to press for mean ingful solutions on the is sue.

“Climate change is a pressing challenge for our world, but its effects will be more keenly and quickly felt in coastal communities like ours in the 77th Assem bly District,” Boerner Hor vath said in a statement. “I have worked since my first year in the Assembly to advance policies that help move us away from fossil fuels, support the develop ment of clean energy sourc es, create high-paying jobs in our communities, and build the distribution in frastructure necessary to sustain a clean energy fu ture. As the Assemblymem ber for the 77th District, I would continue that work.

“In addition to the work I have done to ad dress climate change, I was proud to help bring the fight to save Trestles to a successful conclusion by authoring legislation that permanently protects San Onofre State Beach and the land surrounding it. I have also created policies that advance gender equi ty in sports as well as our local boards and commis sions, and helped pass laws protecting sexual assault survivors and witnesses to those crimes.”

But Downey expressed that he feels strongly that Boerner Horvath is not fo cused enough on the specif ic policy issues that matter the most to District 77 vot ers.

For example, Downey pointed to a bill Boerner Horvath authored in Sac ramento that would have allowed bicyclists to treat stop signs as “yield” mark ers (they would have to decelerate but not entire ly stop before a crossing if there was no oncoming traf fic). Gov. Gavin Newsom ultimately vetoed the bill, and the Los Angeles Times called Boerner Horvath’s measure “nutty” and mis guided.

“She’s just focused on the wrong things,” Downey said. “When the LA Times is calling you nutty — and that’s not a conservative publication — that’s not a good sign for you.

THE COAST NEWS asked candidates to rank several key issues from lowest to highest priority with the understanding that in a world of constraints, not every important matter can be a high priority.

State voters to decide two sports betting measures

By Laura Place

REGION — The future of legal sports betting in California is being placed before voters in two vastly different measures this No vember, as Proposition 27 aims to open up online gam bling throughout the state and Prop. 26 seeks to allow it only in person at race tracks and tribal casinos.

The two measures have made California the latest sports betting battleground in the United States, where 32 states have already legal ized sports betting in some capacity, either online or at in-person sportsbooks or tribal casinos.

Few issues on the Nov. 8 ballot spell out such ma jor local impacts for San Di ego County, which is home to the Del Mar Racetrack, where an existing horse race betting operation could expand to include lucrative onsite sports betting under Prop 26, as well as home to 18 Native American reser vations represented by 17 tribal governments — the highest concentration of reservations in the United States — and 10 tribal casi nos.

Spending on Prop 26 and 27 campaigns has exceeded $300 million, making it one of the most expensive ballot issues in California history. Voters have been assailed with television ads for and against both propositions.

If neither proposition passes, sports betting would remain illegal in California. There is also the possibility of both measures passing, which could become compli cated — in a situation where two measures are passed that conflict with one anoth er, the California Constitu tion states that the measure with the highest margin of votes will prevail.

Here are the main dif ferences between the two measures:

Prop. 26

Proposition 26 would allow in-person sports bet ting specifically at Califor nia’s four racetracks and tribal casinos, which would pay a share of bets made to the state. In-person sports betting as well as roulette and dice games would be allowed at tribal casinos, which would shoulder some of the state’s regulatory costs.

Racetracks would be re quired to contribute 10% of bets made to the state, while individual tribes offering sports betting would decide the terms in their compact with the state regarding how much revenue to contribute.

Revenue from Prop. 26, anticipated to be in the tens of millions of dollars annually, would be placed into a California Sports Wagering Fund. Around 40% of this money would go toward state spending on K-12 schools and community colleges, and the remaining 60% for related costs and other state spending priori ties.

The measure is official ly supported by 31 Califor nia tribes and tribal orga nizations, including eight tribal governments in San

Diego County. Proponents say it not only supports trib al sovereignty, but also of fers a well-regulated avenue for sports betting.

“Prop 26 continues the promise that California vot ers made to tribes to give them the exclusive rights to casino gambling,” said campaign spokeswoman Kathy Fairbanks. “If you’re looking between 26 and 27, we believe 26 is hands down the better approach, the more responsible approach, and the more regulated approach to establishing sports betting in Califor nia.”

The 22nd District Agri cultural Association, which manages the Del Mar Race track, is all but banking on the proposition being passed. The district is cur rently in the process of se lecting an operator to devel op a first-class sportsbook at the track where residents could place sports bets in addition to continuing to bet on horse races.

Opponents to Prop. 26 allege that the measure gives tribal governments offering in-person sports gambling more leeway to sue smaller cardrooms not operated on tribal lands, po tentially limiting a crucial revenue source to many ju risdictions.

Prop. 27

Backed by out-of-state gaming companies like DraftKings and FanDuel, Proposition 27 would allow licensed gambling compa nies and tribes to offer on line and mobile sports bet ting to Californians 21 and older outside of tribal lands.

The measure would allo cate 10% of bets made after subtracting certain expens es to a California Online Sports Betting Trust Fund, with proponents expecting these revenues to be in the hundreds of millions of dol lars annually. Eighty-five percent of the fund would go towards homelessness, mental health and addiction programs and 15% toward underprivileged tribes.

Prop. 27 also requires the creation of a new unit to regulate online sports betting and set licensing re quirements within the Cal ifornia Department of Jus tice, costs for which would

be supported by revenue from the measure.

Supporters of the mea sure include various home lessness organizations and a handful of small, rural Native American tribal gov ernments.

“The passage of Prop 27 will create the ongoing investment that will provide permanent solutions for our homelessness epidemic,” said Tamera Kohler, CEO of the San Diego Regional Task Force on Homeless ness. “We need to create a permanent source of reve nue for homelessness and af fordable housing programs that is specific to state and local needs if we are ever going to implement perma nent solutions to the degree necessary to solve this cri sis.”

Those in opposition include over 50 California tribal governments and or ganizations, including eight tribal governments in San Diego County, who allege it will harm the sovereignty of tribes that rely on having sole operation of gambling operations and make little difference in addressing homelessness.

Gambling companies would be required to part ner with a local tribal gov ernment and pay $100 mil lion to obtain a five-year license to offer online gam bling, with an additional $10 million required to renew the license.

Tribes seeking to offer online gambling under their name would be required to pay $10 million to obtain a five-year license and $1 mil lion for each license renew al.

In both measures, sports betting on high school games would be prohibited.

Prop. 1

Following the U.S. Su preme Court’s decision ear lier this year to overturn Roe v. Wade after nearly 50 years, California’s Proposi tion 1 seeks to permanent ly enshrine abortion pro tections and reproductive rights into the state consti tution.

While reproductive rights are already protected under California law, this amendment would take a step further by including language that protects the

fundamental right to opt for an abortion and to use (or refuse) contraceptives. The proposition would not nar row or limit existing rights to privacy and equal protec tion under state law.

The proposition is championed by State Sen. Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) in partnership with Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California and NARAL ProChoice California.

Supporters of the prop osition argue it would pro tect reproductive care and the right to abortions while keeping medical decisions safe between patients and their providers. Meanwhile, those against the proposi tion call Prop 1 an “extreme and costly proposal” allow ing late-term abortions “up to the moment of birth” at the expense of taxpayers.

According to the state’s voter information guide, Prop. 1 would have no direct fiscal impact as reproduc tive rights are already pro tected under state law.

— Samantha Nelson

Prop. 28

This proposition would provide an additional $1 billion annually for arts and music education in all of California’s K-12 public schools, including public charter schools.

According to arguments in favor of Prop 28, barely one in five of the state’s pub lic schools even have a fulltime arts or music program – but that would change with the additional funding and without raising addi tional taxes.

Supporters also argue that arts education supports cognitive development and improves math and reading skills.

Nearly $9.9 million has been donated in support of Prop. 28. An argument against the proposal has yet to be submitted for the bal lot.

— Samantha Nelson Prop. 29

Proposition 29 lays out requirements for dialysis centers in the state that would be administered by the CDPH. These require ments to dialysis clinics are:

A physician, nurse prac

titioner or physician’s assis tant with at least six months of experience providing care to kidney patients must be onsite during treatment hours. A clinic may request an exception if there are not enough certified personnel in the clinic’s area.

Report infection-re lated data to the state — if no report is submitted the CDPH could issue a penal ty of up to $100,000 to the clinic.

Disclose physician’s ownership stake in the cen ter if the physical owns at least 5%.

Notify and get content from the CDPH before clos ing or “substantially reduc ing services”

Prop. 29 would also prohibit dialysis clinics from refusing care based on payment of the services — meaning the patient, a private entity, the patient’s health insurer, Medi-Cal, or Medicare could pay for the services.

A YES vote would be in support of implementing the above stated requirements and a NO vote would mean no change to dialysis center oversight.

This is the third attempt by SEIU United Healthcare Workers West to pass simi lar language in a state mea sure. Proposition 8 failed in 2018 and Proposition 23 failed in 2020.

— Jacqueline Covey

Prop. 30

In an effort to reach global warming numbers, Proposition 30 would re quire those earning more than $2 million per year to pay an additional 1.75 tax on the income that surpass es $2 million from Janu ary 2023 to January 2043. The revenue collected by the state would go toward zero-emission vehicle pro grams and wildfire response efforts.

The timeline could be moved up if the state reach es its GHG capture goals.

Zero-emission vehicle programs would get 80% of the millionaire tax, and 20% would go toward wild fire response and preven tion activities.

Some of the Green car programs include payments to help residents purchase

ZEVs and new charging stations. In each program, at least half of the money will be dedicated to those who live in or near heavily polluted areas and in low in come communities.

The fire fighting funds would help train and retain state firefighters, and other state agency activities to ad dress wildfire prevention.

The fiscal impact of the prop is expected to generate $3.5 billion to $5 billion.

A YES vote would mean supporting the implementa tion of an additional 1.75 percent personal income tax on income over $2 million annually, and using those funds for ZEVs and wildfire prevention measures.

A NO vote means sup porting no change on per sonal income tax.

— Jacqueline Covey

Prop. 31

Two years after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed leg islation banning the sale of certain flavored tobacco products in California, vot ers will have the final say on whether the law can move forward.

Proposition 31 prohib its in-person retailers and vending machines from selling flavored tobacco products, particularly e-cig arettes such as vape pens, tanks and mods, as well as flavor enhancers such as vape pods and menthol cig arettes. Hookah, cigars and loose-leaf tobacco are ex empt from the ban.

The law originally signed in 2020 sought to lim it youth tobacco use by ban ning the statewide sale of enticing flavors which crit ics say are geared towards kids, such as fruit and candy flavors, as well as menthol.

E-cigarettes have be come the product of choice among most youth tobacco users, with a 2021 Nation al Youth Tobacco Survey finding that around 85% of youth e-cigarette users used flavored products.

Implementation of the law has been placed on hold since tobacco companies qualified the law for a refer endum on the ballot. Since then, companies like Phil ip Morris USA and the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company have contributed around $15.1 million towards fight ing the measure, according to state campaign data.

Those in opposition to Prop. 31 say the mea sure pushes the market for flavored products under ground, harms adults aim ing to reduce their tobacco use with e-cigarettes, and targets products used at higher rates by Black com munities such as menthol cigarettes.

Around one-third of California jurisdictions currently have a flavored tobacco ban in place, and statewide, tobacco sales to those under 21 are already prohibited. Proponents of the bill say youth are still finding ways to access these products, which is why they should be taken off the shelves entirely.

NOTICE

TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS:

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

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call the phone number shown below in bold, using the Reference number assigned to this case on SHOWN ABOVE. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on

the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Notice, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid assessments secured by said Notice with interest thereon as provided in said Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Notice of Assessment and Claim of Lien.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Teruho Sawada

A Petition for Probate has been filed by Miho Zinni in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego.

The Petition for Probate requests that Miho Zinni be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

(This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: October 27, 2022; Time: 1:30 PM; in Dept.: 103. Court address: 1100 Union St., San Diego CA 92101, Central Courthouse. Appearances may be made in person in the department; or by using the department’s

Plan to check 15 minutes prior to the scheduled hearing time.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF WILLIAM LOEDEL

Case # 37-2022-00030827-PRPW-CTL

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of William Loedel

A Petition for Probate has been filed by Kai Loedel in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego.

The Petition for Probate requests that Kai M. Loedel, Christian W. Loedel, Peter H. Loedel be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

(This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: October 20, 2022; Time: 1:30 PM; in Dept.: 503. Court address: 1100 Union St., San Diego CA 92101, Central Courthouse.

Appearances may be made in person in the department; or by using the department’s Microsoft Teams (“MSTeams”) video link; or by calling the department’s MSTeams conference phone number and using the assigned conference ID number. The department’s in person instructions, MSTeams video conference link, MS Teams conference phone number, and assigned conference ID number can be found at www.sdcourt.ca.gov/ ProbateHearings. Plan to check 15 minutes prior to the scheduled hearing time.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Weare at 4,100 feet, consider ably above the tree line some where between Lofthus, Norway, and the country’s capital city, Oslo. An icy rain pelts the back of my Go re-Tex jacket as our tour di rector and guide, Christiaan Dahl, pulls a large bottle of aquavit from a plastic bag.

She distributes 18 plas tic shot glasses and doles out the apricot-colored liquid that is the national drink of Norway.

“Skol!” we say, toasting our guide, Norway and one another.

The aquavit warms us from the inside as we pile back onto the bus and settle in to watch the spectacular ly rugged countryside roll by.

We are nearing the end of our 12-day visit to south ern Norway and three-day visit to Denmark with Od ysseys Unlimited, a smallgroup tour company based in Newton, Massachusetts.

Dahl and our itinerary have left us with many impres sions, the most indelible that Norway is a land of con trasts.

It’s a country of hightech commerce, yet shep herds still tend flocks of sheep and goats high in mountainous meadows.

It’s a country of ancient stave churches and soaring, contemporary glass and marble edifices.

It’s a country with lit tle arable land and a short

growing season but produc es an abundance of sweet berries, tree fruits and vegetables every summer. (You’ll never taste carrots like those grown in Norway.)

It’s a country of ample bicycles and public trans portation, but still must spend an average of $8,000 a foot to build roads that will survive harsh winters and copious rain. (Bergen sees rain 239 days a year.) These amazing byways — sometimes a single lane wide that runs high above the fjords — hug mountain

Meet Carlsbad Councilman Keith Blackburn

Keith Blackburn takes his work as a Carlsbad coun cilman seriously. Since 2008, he has worked hard to im prove the quality of life for residents and increasing the city’s revenue base. He is currently a Carlsbad mayor al candidate and couldn’t be more qualified for this new post.

While Blackburn’s work as a councilmember is import ant, he also serves his com munity in several other ways outside of City Hall. Black burn has a daughter and two grandchildren, who live in Carlsbad as well.

He worked 42 years as a police officer, having retired after 28 years of full-time po lice work and volunteering as a reserve officer for the last 14 years. Thirty-five of those years were spent with the Carlsbad Police Depart ment. He grew attached to the dogs he worked with as a K9 officer. After retiring, Blackburn began volunteer ing at the Carlsbad Animal Shelter. There, he nurtures dogs with behavior issues that are considered hard to place in homes and that requires an extra bit of attention.

Years ago, Blackburn took on the challenge of car ing for 10 pit bull terriers that were seized from a fighting operation and kept at the shelter. One of those dogs was Red, Blackburn’s favorite of the group. He was in bad condition when he was first brought to the shelter.

“When he first came in he was so steroid-ed out that he had muscles growing out

of his muscles and scars all over him,” Blackburn said.

ever home with Blackburn’s daughter, where he lived the rest of his life peacefully.

Blackburn even cham pioned laws in Carlsbad that prevent the sale of dogs and cats from puppy mills. He continued pushing this law until it became law for the en tire state of California.

Foundation has awarded more than $1 million to com munity-based organizations and children’s groups.

The councilman donates his entire Council salary to local non-profits, which is usu ally split between youth orga nizations and animal rescues. Those organizations include The Mitchell Thorp Founda tion, after school children’s programs, animal rescue or ganizations and the Boys & Girls Club.

He also volunteered for Meals on Wheels for five years delivering meals to the elderly. Besides his service as a police officer, councilman and volunteer, Blackburn also has a background in business. He was a founding partner in the development of the Carls bad Premium Outlets and is a managing partner in a real estate group that owns and operates residential units.

Outside of City Hall, Blackburn is continuing to work hard for his communi ty whether it’s ensuring bet ter treatment for animals, improving opportunities for children and providing access to meals for the elderly.

Keith is hopeful for an opportunity to continue to serve his Carlsbad communi ty as mayor.

And oh, those tunnels. Somehow Norwegian engineers have managed to punch more than 1,350 tunnels (200 more under construction) through solid granite mountains, and to construct 25% of them hun dreds of feet below the sea. Some tunnels are miles-long and so complex that they re quire roundabouts.

And finally, in a sepa rate column marked “Spec tacularly Impressive,” are Norway’s roaring rivers, trickling streams, thunder ous waterfalls, panoramic fjords, crystalline glaciers, moss-covered landscapes and magic-like rainforests where you might spot a troll or two if you look carefully

Do not think Billy Goats Gruff-type trolls. Norway’s trolls can be big, small, scary or friendly and be im mortalized in rock faces and tree trunks. The ones put forward by souvenir shops are likely to resemble one of the Seven Dwarfs with a sizable nose and bad teeth, but nonetheless, sporting a welcoming smile.

people) and who has a doc torate in early Viking histo ry, maintained a continuous narrative on the country’s history and culture.

Salaries in Norway are high (average $62,000), but so are the cost of living and taxes (up to 60%). But Norwegians feel they get a lot in return: medical care, a year’s maternity leave at 80% of salary, paid pater nity leave, subsidized day care, college educations and superior public transporta tion.

To encourage people to use that transportation, which keeps the country’s air clean, the purchase of a gas-powered car comes with a 100% tax, and gas runs about $10 a gallon. Electric cars and charging stations are abundant.

But like people every where, Dahl says, “some Norwegians tend to be neg ative. They are resistant to change. They’ll say, ‘I don’t recognize my city anymore.’ But I like the way Norway takes care of people. It’s a wealthy country and it dis tributes the wealth.”
