Judge chucks job title

By Jordan P. Ingram & Laura Place

ENCINITAS — A judge has ordered San Diego County’s registrar of voters to remove a portion of a local school board candidate’s ballot designation, ruling the term “educator” was “false and misleading” as a description of his principal occupation.

Following an Aug. 28 hearing in downtown San Diego, Judge Wendy M. Behan issued the order on Aug. 28 regarding Kevin Sabellico, a local political consultant who is running for the San Dieguito Union High School District’s Area 4 board seat against incumbent Trustee Michael Allman.

Last week, Allman filed a lawsuit against county Registrar of Voters Cynthia L. Paes, with Sabellico named as a real party in interest. The petition challenged his opponent’s ballot designation as an “Educator/Board Member.”

A ballot designation is a short descriptor that appears under a candidate’s name on the ballot. As incumbent, Allman’s ballot designation will read “Governing Board Member, San Dieguito Union High School District.”

Allman argued that Sabellico’s title was misleading, as it does not accurately describe his principal profession.

Sabellico, vice president of the political consulting firm Amplify Campaigns, is best known for his work on several political cam-

Donations show contrasts in Encinitas races

Preston, Blackwell reap benefit from non-local donors

By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS

— As the Encinitas City Council race intensifies, campaign finance reports reveal significant differences in fundraising strategies and donor bases among the candidates, offering insights into how each campaign is building support ahead of the November election.

The Coast News reviewed each candidate’s Form 460, a key campaign finance document that candidates, political committees, and ballot measure committees must file to disclose their financial activities.

The form provides a detailed breakdown of contributions and expenditures, ensuring transparency in the electoral process.

By itemizing donations over $100 and outlining campaign expenses, Form 460 allows the public to see who is funding political campaigns and how that money is spent, giving voters insights into the financial backers and spending priorities of those seeking office.

Candidates and committees must submit semi-annual reports twice a year, covering the periods from Jan. 1 to June 30 and July 1 to Dec. 31. For this report, The Coast News reviewed available forms from Jan. 1 to June 30.

Preston vs. O’Hara

In District 2, where Destiny Preston and Jim O’Hara are competing for a council seat, the fundraising numbers reveal contrasting approaches. According to campaign finance data, Preston has 119 donors, nearly triple the 46 donors reported by O’Hara.

O’Hara raised $9,767.88 during the specified period, while Preston raised $20,937.88.

Preston’s donor base includes 69 contributions from Encinitas residents and 50 from outside the city, indicating she has both local support and a broader network beyond Encinitas.

“My work in public policy has created trust and support from people throughout the state,” Preston said. “And my family, friends, college alumni circle, and professional network all know that I am a dedicated public servant and will work hard for the people of Encinitas.”

In contrast, O’Hara’s campaign focuses more narrowly on local donors, with 36 contributors from Encinitas and only 10 from outside. O’Hara said this reflects a strategy to deepen connections with district residents.

work life, impacting her ability to fundraise locally.

“I was going through a very stressful time at the company I was working with, it was heading for bankruptcy,” Blackwell said, adding that she reached out to friends, family, and colleagues instead. “I did that.”

Meanwhile, Shaffer’s focus is on local support, with 54 donors from Encinitas and 18 from elsewhere. He said his campaign prioritizes direct fundraising in Encinitas.

ahead by one donor. Despite the even total, Blackwell has raised about 45.7% more money than Shaffer.

“I’ve raised significantly more funding from Encinitas-based donors, and I think that says a lot about my connection to this community and the trust people have in me as a local candidate,” Shaffer said.

to bring this back to Encinitas, and not have one political campaign outspending another with outside money,” O’Hara said. “This should be about what the local residents want.”

The differences between the two candidates are stark: Preston has 91.67% more Encinitas donors and 400% more external donors than O’Hara.

“[My donors] invested in my campaign because they believe in me,” Preston said. “They know my track record of getting things done, and they know Encinitas deserves a council member who can actually

deliver on advancing goals to improve our quality of life.”

Overall, Preston’s total donor count is 158.70% higher than O’Hara’s, highlighting her campaign’s extensive reach in Encinitas and beyond.

But O’Hara said he isn’t concerned about the disparity. He emphasized that his campaign approach reflects both a strategic choice and his involvement in local issues.

“We don’t expect to out-fundraise her,” O’Hara said. “I believe in managing resources wisely, whether it’s in business, government, or running a campaign. It’s not just about who has the most money, it’s about how you use it to connect with people and make a difference.”

Blackwell vs. Shaffer

In another closely watched race, Allison Blackwell and Luke Shaffer are competing for a council seat with differing financial backers. Blackwell’s campaign reported 71 total donors, with 34 from Encinitas and 37 from outside the city.

Shaffer raised $14,294.21 from 72 donors, while Blackwell raised $20,826.80 in the same timeframe.

Blackwell said her initial fundraising efforts were hindered by a busy

“Yes, being local has helped, but it’s not just being local; it’s about who I’ve always been as a local,” Shaffer said. “I’ve been around, done a lot for the community, and people know me as someone who’s always been here to give back.”

Shaffer and Blackwell’s donor totals are nearly the same, with Shaffer slightly

The difference between the candidates is notable: Blackwell has 37.04% fewer local donors than Shaffer, but 105.56% more donors from outside Encinitas. She said that since the filing deadline, she has had more opportunity to fundraise locally.

“I’m in between professional roles, and I decided to take some time off so I could concentrate on the campaign,” Blackwell said. “So yeah, I have had several meet and greets and

Beyond Housing First

Real solutions needed in California’s homelessness policy

By Chris Megison

In 2016, California passed legislation mandating Housing First as the only state-approved funding model for homeless services.

Housing First has several key features, the most prominent of which is that state-funded programs cannot require sobriety as a condition of participation. Additionally, these programs are prohibited from referring to substance use in judgmental terms. Any program that does not conform to these guidelines is labeled “high barrier.”

Housing First also requires all programming to be voluntary or non-mandated.

At Solutions for Change, we have spent 25 years empowering thousands of individuals and families to escape homelessness, dependency, and the generational cycle of poverty — what we call “crushing the Churn.”

Our classes, coaching, therapy, or interventions are critical for helping individuals achieve lasting change, leading to a 76% success rate. However, under Housing First, participation cannot be required.

We are one of the programs the legislature dismisses as a “high barrier.” In reality, we set “high standards” for those we serve and hold them accountable.

It doesn’t take decades of experience to understand that homelessness stems from various factors.

While the cost of housing is certainly a factor, it’s nearly impossible to escape homelessness without addressing its other root causes.

For those struggling with substance use or mental health issues, allowing substance use in shelters or being prohibited from discussing it honestly is not

just contradictory to effective solutions — it’s fundamentally flawed.

That’s why we made the decision to reject government funding tied to Housing First, forgoing tens of millions of dollars to stay true to our mission and values.

Since California adopted Housing First in 2016,

Housing First, as a blanket solution for California’s homelessness crisis, is an abject failure. That’s not up for debate.

despite over $20 billion in state funding, homelessness has skyrocketed, leading to untold suffering and thousands of deaths.

Legislators might argue that the situation would be worse without their policies, but recent legislative proposals suggest they might recognize cracks in their approach.

Assembly Bill 2893, the Supportive Recovery Residence Program, introduces minor amendments to the state’s one-size-fits-all approach. The bill would allow up to 10% of funding to be allocated to shelters that require abstinence from substance use as a condition of participation.

But the devil is in the details, and AB 2893 leaves much to be desired.

While the bill suggests that programs like ours might receive funding, it still demands compliance with other Housing First

Lower the sails on wind power?

There weren’t many causes Gov. Gavin Newsom pushed harder during the just-concluded state legislative session than offshore wind power, something that has been tried in only a few places around America.

For some in the Legislature, including Senate President Mike McGuire of Sonoma County, this seems an easy way to modernize the state’s electric grid without risking much pollution, taking advantage of an inexhaustible natural resource — winds that often gust at 40 mph or more.

“low barrier” standards, including allowing participants to stay in the program even if they repeatedly relapse.

This is a significant concern because relapse can be harmful to others, and protecting our program students and their families is a top priority.

AB 2893 also continues to mandate that shelters only refer to substance use in nonjudgmental terms.

We unapologetically take a firm stance on this issue, knowing that active substance use is incompatible with the journey out of homelessness.

Our experience has shown that addressing substance use directly and with accountability is essential to overcoming homelessness.

Furthermore, participation would remain voluntary, leaving out thousands of homeless individuals who are lost in addiction and mental illness who require accountability to successfully transform their lives.

Housing First, as a blanket solution for California’s homelessness crisis, is an abject failure.

That’s not up for debate.

The results are evident in the data, in our communities, and on our streets.

The principles underpinning Housing First might benefit a small fraction of the homeless population, but they fall short of addressing the needs of many others.

Unfortunately, AB 2893 won’t reverse these failures.

It’s time to go back to the drawing board and rethink our approach to solving homelessness in California.

Chris Megison is a social entrepreneur, cofounder and CEO of Solutions for Change.

But now it’s time for Newsom to go slow before committing California electric customers (who always pay for new generating facilities via their monthly bills) to fund this largely untried renewable energy source. If adopted, a plan to build enough offshore windmills to fill about 6% of California’s electric needs would be America’s largest commitment to offshore wind power.

There is not yet any offshore wind power along the Pacific Coast, but yes, there is offshore wind power on the Atlantic Coast. There’s a small (five-turbine) project off Block Island, Rhode Island. Also a few windmills off Virginia and others off Nantucket Island in Massachusetts.

Many of those turbines are anchored to the ocean floor in locations where water is shallow even miles offshore. Off California, where federal authorities have identified three potential wind power areas (off Morro Bay and Diablo Canyon on the Central Coast and near Eureka on the North Coast), waters are so deep that windmills will have to float, anchored by cables.

The wind turbine industry is already rejoicing over the California possibilities. Said an announcement from Turn Forward, an organization promoting offshore windmills, “Offshore wind is California’s golden opportunity to generate high-power jobs, spark investments in local communities and provide clean, domestic and reliable power to millions of homes and businesses while helping stabilize electricity prices.”

That’s not quite the way some other folks see it. Take the county board of commissioners in Cape May County, New Jersey, where a Danish company proposes a development called Ocean Wind One.

“What’s happening in Nantucket shows we were right to oppose offshore wind power (Cape May County’s stance since 2021),” said a statement from county executive Len Desiderio. He called events at Nantucket, near Martha’s Vineyard, an “offshore wind environmental catastrophe.”

Some 15 miles off the celebrated beaches of Nantucket, renowned as a summer resort, a development called Vineyard Wind this summer saw one-third of a turbine blade snap off. Industrial fiberglass, paint, foam, adhesive and other objects soon washed up on Nantucket beaches and later onto Cape Cod. The Cape May commission, working to stave off a larger development near its coast, called this “an environmental catastrophe akin to an oil spill. Vacationers are leaving the beaches or cancelling trips. Tourism on Nantucket has taken a devastating hit.”

Cape May doesn’t want those risks. A new question is whether California should invite new problems of its own. Meanwhile, the nation’s largest investor in wind power, entrepreneur Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, also raises questions about wind power, whether offshore or on dry land.

Yahoo Finance reported in 2023 that “Buffett’s energy division has reported a negative income tax rate for five straight years thanks to billions of dollars worth of tax credits…for producing clean power.”

From 2019 to 2022, the firm took tax credits of $6.1 billion from the federal government, far above its profit levels, thus slashing all its other tax burdens. In one quarter last year, Berkshire Hathaway’s wind power fields collected tax credits of $363 million, far more than its $223 million in actual profits. That made wind farming worth almost $600 million to the company in just one three-month period.

Said Buffett, “On wind energy, we get a tax credit if we build…wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.”

What about all those turbines in places like the Altamont Pass near Livermore and the San Gorgonio Pass northwest of Palm Springs? They are basically tax credit farms for their owners. California might or might not avoid environmental disasters from wind turbines. That’s unknown. But some risks are now known and Newsom should be very careful before approving anything more than small, experimental developments.

Escondido guards against battery storage sites

Council argues facilities offer no economic benefit

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO —

The Escondido City Council has adopted a resolution opposing the installation of largescale battery energy storage facilities within or near the city limits.

Mayor Dane White also directed staff to consider implementing a moratorium on Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) until appropriate zoning regulations are established.

In a 4-1 vote, the City Council adopted the resolution on Aug. 28, with Councilmember Consuelo Martinez opposed.

The resolution, introduced by White and Councilmember Mike Morasco, responds to the proposed Seguro battery storage facility in the Eden Valley community, located just outside Escondido at 925 Country Club Drive.

Martinez voted against the proposal, wanting to consult more experts about the project to address conflicting information.

The facility, proposed by AES Corporation, would store 320 megawatts, or 1,280 megawatt hours, enough to power 240,000 homes for four hours. It would connect to the local power grid through a new

substation on-site, linked to the SDG&E Escondido Substation via a transmission line.

Initially, White was reluctant to comment on a project outside the city limits until a battery storage fire occurred in Otay Mesa earlier this year.

The resolution argues that BESS projects do not provide “realistic economic benefits to the city” and could pose health and safety risks, decrease residential land values, discourage employers and businesses from relocating to the area, and increase fire risks in com-

munities like Eden Valley.

White emphasized that the resolution does not reflect opposition to sustainable energy or battery storage projects in general, citing the council’s previous approval of a 50-megawatt lithium-ion battery storage facility in December to replace the former Ice-Plex building.

“The difference between that facility and the proposed Seguro project is the location near residents,” White said. “They need to be reasonably located, but furthermore, I think the biggest issue with this one is

away downwind.

The mayor also requested that staff send a letter to the county urging the creation of a working group to collaborate on zoning regulations for battery energy storage projects.

the lack of respect for residents who are already there, and in particular, one resident who will have a 12-foot wall located on three sides of their home.”

Residents of Eden Valley, Harmony Grove, and Elfin Forest are strongly opposed to the project due to its proximity to hundreds of homes. Some fear that lithium-ion batteries could cause fires, disruptive noise, air pollution and other environmental hazards.

The closest home is 130 feet from the facility, and Palomar Medical Center is approximately 1,600 feet

County staff, under the Board of Supervisors’ direction in July, are currently developing standards for BESS projects, including location criteria, design, fire and explosion risk mitigation, emergency response protocols, hazardous materials management, toxic gases, and noise. This effort also includes considering a temporary 60-day moratorium on new battery storage applications.

Several Escondido and county residents spoke in favor of the resolution.

“We realize there is a need for clean energy and storage,” said Eden Valley resident Andrew McSpar-

ron, who shares a property line with the Seguro project. “We’re not against them either… they need to be properly placed away from homes, schools, and hospitals, not in high fireprone areas where the only exit is between two parts of a BESS facility and on two narrow lanes of Country Club Drive.”

JP Theberge, a Harmony Grove resident opposed to the battery storage project, told The Coast News that AES had done the region’s clean energy transition a huge disservice by attempting to push a largescale battery storage facility into a residential neighborhood near a major hospital.

Theberge noted the city’s resolution marks the third recent setback for AES, referencing the county’s efforts to regulate

Suspect arrested in theft ring

By Samantha Mason CARLSBAD —

Carlsbad police have arrested a man in connection with a series of organized retail thefts at a local outlet mall, where more than $30,000 worth of merchandise was stolen.

Jose Miguel Gonzalez, 38, of Lake Elsinore, was taken into custody on suspicion of orchestrating the thefts at Carlsbad Premium Outlets on Paseo Del Norte.

Gonzalez was booked into the Vista Detention Facility on multiple counts of criminal conspiracy and organized retail theft, authorities said.

The Carlsbad Police Department’s Crime Suppression Team spent several weeks investigating several incidents targeting high-end stores at the outlets.

Carlsbad police Officer Madison Puliafico, who was instrumental in the investigation, linked the thefts in Carlsbad to similar crimes in Orange County.

A “booster bag” used in two of the incidents helped Puliafico identify multiple suspects involved in other thefts.

License plate reader data also identified a vehicle connected to several unsolved cases in Carlsbad and Orange County.

The vehicle’s travel patterns suggested involvement in organized criminal activity, leading to the issuance of a search warrant and Gonzalez’s arrest.

Coyotes return to wild

From staff and wire reports REGION — Months after they were found scattered around Southern California and raised at the San Diego Humane Society’s Ramona Wildlife Center, nine orphaned coyote pups have been released back into the wild.

The coyotes are about six months old. They all came in at different times between March and May, when they were around 4 to 6 weeks old.

The pups were released on Aug. 26 at the Eagle Peak Preserve near Julian in collaboration with the San Diego River Park Foundation.

San Diego Humane Society’s Project Wildlife staff bottle-fed the vulnerable pups at first when they were too young to eat on their own.

As soon as the coyotes were ready, the Project Wildlife team placed them together in an outside hab-

itat and monitored them from a distance to avoid human imprinting.

According to SDHS, to make a successful release possible, it is essential for staff to keep coyotes wild. Members of the Project Wildlife team use strategies to minimize the likelihood of coyotes imprinting on or habituating to humans. These include dressing up in coyote masks and fur coats, spraying themselves and the bottle-feeding den with urine from other coyotes, and playing sound recordings of wild coyote howls and calls.

Three of the nine coyotes were discovered under the deck of a home in Pacific Beach on March 27,

and two were purchased on Offer-Up by a community member in Riverside County at the end of April – it was unclear how long they were in possession of the pups before coming to the Ramona Wildlife Center.

Once they were weaned off formula, staff worked to re-accustom them to wild behavior by introducing them to the other pack members in the outside habitat.

Additionally, another coyote pup came from Jurupa Valley on May 4, where it was cared for by a community member for several days before being taken to Western Riverside County

enhances homeless services

City will offer transportation at new shelter

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — The

Oceanside City Council has approved a $170,000 contract to enhance outreach services at the city's first year-round homeless shelter, including offering transportation to support the transition out of homelessness.

The Oceanside Navigation Center, which opened last year, is operated by the San Diego Rescue Mission under a contract with the city. While the city owns the facility, the rescue mission covers more than $1 million in annual operating costs through private funds.

On Aug. 21, the City Council approved a professional services agreement providing $170,000 to the shelter’s operator for additional outreach, assessment and referral services. These services aim to connect homeless individuals with resources and support to help them transition into shelter, housing or other supportive services through the navigation center and other community resources.

The agreement also includes transportation services for unhoused individuals to the navigation center and other service providers as needed.

Several locations throughout Oceanside have been designated access points where homeless individuals can seek assistance. These locations include the Oceanside Civic Center Library, John Landes Community Center, Country Club Senior Center and Libby Lake, Chavez, and Crown Heights community resource centers.

While the City Council unanimously approved the agreement, concerns were raised regarding the San Diego Rescue Mission’s faith-based nature. Housing Commissioner Rachel White urged the council to delay approval and send the deal back to the Housing Commission for further review, particularly regarding the treatment of LGBTQ individuals.

Mayor Esther Sanchez shared these concerns, noting that the San Diego Rescue Mission declined additional sensitivity training offered by the North County LGBTQ Resource Center. Both Sanchez and Councilmember Eric Joyce emphasized the need for city staff to closely monitor the rescue mission’s operations to ensure any complaints are addressed.

“If we want to actually make a dent in the homelessness issue, which affects every single one of us, we’ve got to invest in hiring folks to work on it directly,” Joyce said. “We’re already overworking the few that we have assigned to this, and as

If

Councilmember Eric Joyce Oceanside City Council

we’re adding services across the city, we need people to manage those appropriately and to make sure that the folks that would register a complaint have someone to actually complain to.”

Councilmember Peter Weiss noted that the San Diego Rescue Mission informed the City Council during the initial contract approval in 2021 that it provides staff training.

Some residents expressed concerns about the Christian faith-based organization imposing religious beliefs on those they serve.

Homeless Program Manager Sal Roman assured that the city closely monitors the navigation center’s operations and prohibits using city funds for religious purposes.

Sanchez also called for flexibility in the agreement to adjust the city’s outreach access points if needed, citing reports of increased demand for services in the city's eastern part. Roman confirmed that the contract allows for changes in location as necessary.

Escondido voters to decide council, sales tax

Plus: Six vie for Palomar College Governing Board

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO — Vot-

ers in Escondido will soon decide on key positions and a sales tax measure in the upcoming fall election. The ballot will include two City Council seats, four school board seats, and a proposed sales tax increase.

The election for City Council will cover Districts 3 and 4.

District 3, which encompasses the south-central part of the city, has incumbent Deputy Mayor Christian Garcia facing off against challengers Christine Spencer and Veronica Cigarroa.

Christian Garcia, appointed to the seat in early 2023, previously served on the Palomar College Governing Board. He is now running to retain his council seat, with campaign priorities including homelessness solutions, public safety, small business support, and affordable housing.

“I am running for a full term on the City Council to continue working on homelessness solutions, public safety, supporting small businesses, and addressing the high cost of living in Escondido,” Garcia stated on his campaign website.

Spencer, with a long

history of service in various local organizations, emphasizes maintaining essential community services, balancing the city’s budget, and addressing homelessness.

“I am running to represent our district how it should be, by listening to community members and creating innovative solutions to the current issues facing our city,” Spencer said on her campaign website.

Spencer has served Escondido in various capacities over the years, including as the secretary for the Old Escondido Historic District board, fundraising director and board member of the Escondido Art Association, a member of the Escondido Community Foundation

and the San Diego Women’s Foundation, and a member of the Escondido East Rotary Club.

According to her campaign website, Spencer also presently volunteers with Interfaith Community Services, Classical Academies, Old Escondido Historic District Board, Escondido Art Association and St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church.

Cigarroa, a mental health advocate and director of Clubhouse Coalition California, focuses her campaign on homelessness and mental health support.

“Escondido needs strong, thoughtful leadership that prioritizes collaboration to effectively address

homelessness, affordable housing, public safety, budget deficits, and support for local businesses,” she noted in her candidate statement.

Even though local races are nonpartisan, Garcia is running as a Republican, Spencer is an independent, and Cigarroa is a Democrat supported by county Democrats..

According to campaign finance reports, Garcia raised $36,929 between July 2023 and June 2024, Spencer raised $2,223 between January and June of this year, and Cigarroa has not reported any financial contributions.

In District 4, where Councilmember Mike Morasco is retiring after 14

LAZY ACRES CLASSES ARE BACK, ENCINITAS!

years, voters will choose between Judy Fitzgerald, a Republican, and Rod Howell, a Democrat.

Fitzgerald, a former police officer and co-founder of CrossFit Xystum Fitness Gym, prioritizes public safety, homelessness, and small business growth.

“I will always support the Escondido Police Department and seek increased funding to make sure our police officers and firefighters are well compensated, have the resources needed to do their job well, and are empowered to enforce the law free from the pro-criminal attitudes of Sacramento politicians,” Fitzgerald states on her campaign website. “Currently, the Escondido Police Department has eleven patrol officers during the day and seven during the evening. These numbers only allow the department to respond to crime rather than proactively preventing it.”

Howell, a Navy veteran and retired federal government employee, aims to address the city’s budget deficit, improve public safety, fix infrastructure, and tackle homelessness.

“I am tired of seeing increased homelessness, jobs and investment opportunities lost due businesses closing or relocating to other cities,” Howell states. “Our roads and infrastructure are in dire need of repair. Escondido deserves better. I know our potential.”

Gym hosts 9/11 charity fundraiser

By Staff ENCINITAS

— Anytime Fitness Encinitas, a veteran-owned business operated by Eric and Tracey Wheeler, will host a charity event on Sept. 11 to honor local heroes and support a local teacher in her fight against breast cancer.

Eric, a veteran who spent 20 years in the military, is deeply committed to this cause. On his last deployment to Afghanistan, Eric was struck by the realization that some of the younger soldiers had been born after 9/11.

A 19-year-old soldier asked him about the significance of Sept. 11, highlighting the importance of remembering and educating future generations about that fateful day.

For Eric, commemorating those lost on 9/11 begins with recognizing local heroes like teachers, who not only educate children about history but also nurture them to serve their country and communities.

The event, co-hosted by the Encinitas Firefighter’s Association, is open to the public and will take place from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at the Anytime Fitness at 260 N. El Camino Real, Suite G.

MiraCosta offers free access to Aira

By Staff REGION — MiraCos-

ta College is now offering free access to a phone app on its campuses that provides on-demand, remote visual interpreting services for students, faculty and visitors who are blind or have low vision.

Upon downloading the Aira app on either an Android or iPhone device, users simply press a button and their phone’s camera streams a live video to Aira’s professional visual interpreters.

These interpreters can explain surroundings, describe scenes, navigate or read out loud.

Aira also features Access AI, which allows users to upload an image and receive a detailed AI-generated description verified by a human interpreter.

Aira can assist with various tasks, such as locating building entrances, finding seats in lecture halls or reading printed materials in the library.

In the cafeteria, users can take a picture of the menu with Access AI to receive an instant text response, which can be listened to or enlarged.

Aira is available 24/7, 365 days a year, without reservations.

MiraCosta College student Erik Garcia, who is blind, said Aira will allow him to safely navigate around campus, which is particularly useful while several buildings are under construction.

“They can guide us the way that we need to go,” he said. “It’s a pretty cool thing that we’re getting access to.”

Garcia, whose partner Jasmine Sanchez is also a blind MiraCosta student, said obtaining Aira is just one way that MiraCosta serves students with disabilities.

“The general consensus is that if you need accessibility help, MiraCosta is where it’s at,” he said.

Wendy Stewart, MiraCosta’s associate vice president of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA), said the college is “deeply committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone has the tools to succeed.”

Aaron Holmes, an access specialist for the college, credited its accessibility workgroup for bringing Aira to MiraCosta campuses.

“This collaboration reflects our commitment to identifying and implementing practical solutions that enhance accessibility for all,” Holmes said. “The availability of Aira is a testament to our ongoing efforts to ensure that every member of our community has the opportunity to engage fully with the college’s resources and environment.”

Encinitas boy raises money for park at L7 site

Local debate over housing and open space rages on

By Walker Armstrong

ENCINITAS — A local 10-year-old boy offered to donate the money he raised in support of a proposal to build a park on a city-owned lot along Quail Gardens Drive at last week’s council meeting, weighing in on a topic that has become a focal point in the city’s debate between affordable housing and open space.

Encinitas resident Oliver Pratt, who quickly raised $1,500 by collecting, cleaning and reselling golf balls at the Encinitas Ranch Golf Course, told the council Aug. 28 he was spurred to action by Glenn Johnson’s financial contribution.

Johnson, an Encinitas resident, offered the city $100,000 to build a park on L7 in his deceased wife’s name.

“I thought a lot about how awesome and generous it was for Mr. Glenn Johnson to donate $100,000 towards the construction of a park, so I decided that I also wanted to contribute,” Pratt said in a statement to the council. “However, I’m only 10 years old, so my allowance fund doesn’t have anywhere near $100,000, yet.”

Pratt has since raised more than $3,000 from residents eager to support

a park on the empty plot, Pratt’s mother said.

After dozens of residents took to the podium, along with testimony from both Johnson and Pratt, the City Council voted 3-2 to direct the Encinitas Parks & Recreation Commission to explore the possibility of transforming L7 into a park.

Council members Kellie Hinze and Joy Lyndes dissented.

The Parks and Recreation Commission initiative will run concurrently with the city’s ongoing evaluation of whether the site should be

used for housing, prompted by the newly organized Affordable Housing Task Force.

The site, located on roughly 9.4 acres along Quail Gardens Drive, has long been eyed by affordable housing advocates in the city as a prime location for high-density housing units. However, many in the vicinity have argued that multiunit housing would only further congest the area, known for its already high traffic volumes during certain times of the day.

Johnson, whose do-

nation would be made in memory of his wife Sally, told the council he envisions a quiet, simple park with open space that honors the local wildlife.

“My neighborhood is taking the brunt of the housing element, and I want to do something good for my neighbors,” Johnson said in the meeting. “They’ve been good to me, I’ve really enjoyed living in Encinitas... and I want to leave something for posterity.”

Joined by dozens of residents who live in the L7 vicinity, Pratt and John-

son echoed the concerns of those who voiced their concerns in the meeting about the city’s lack of affordable housing but argued that L7 was not the place to focus those efforts.

“With the housing element, there’s even more need for parks, they’re not making parkland anymore,” Johnson said, referring to the spike in development and population in Encinitas in recent decades. “A bad precedent would be set if parkland such as this would be cannibalized for some other purpose.”

Purchased by the city in the 1990s, L7 spans the 600 block of Quail Gardens Drive, with most of the land on the road’s east side and about 1.5 acres on the west. The site, identified as potential parkland in the city’s general plan, has also been considered for various uses, including a city public works yard and a library.

In November 2023, the Encinitas City Council vot-

ed 3-2 to declare the property surplus, with Councilmember Bruce Ehlers and Mayor Tony Kranz dissenting. The council's vote triggered a 60-day window during which local, county and state parks and recreation departments could request to lease or purchase the property for open-space purposes.

No proposals were submitted, leaving the city free to explore other options.

Along with the motion to direct the Park and Recreation Commission to explore transforming L7 into a park, Kranz suggested the city continue its community outreach efforts regarding the potential for housing on the L7 site, combining both discussions to gather comprehensive information.

“The fight over L7 has been raging since 2014, and it actually goes back further than that,” Kranz said. “This has been going on for a long time, it’s not new, and it’s not going to go away.”

CASE NUMBER: PLCY-007022-2024 (CA State Clearinghouse No. #2022080705)

APPLICANT: City of Encinitas

STAFF CONTACT: Evan Jedynak, Senior Mobility Planner, ejedynak@encinitasca.gov

LOCATION: The Mobility Element Update encompasses the City of Encinitas, which is in northern San Diego County, approximately 25 miles north of the City of San Diego. Encinitas comprises approximately 20 square miles and is considered almost fully developed. The City is bordered by the City of Carlsbad to the north, the City of Solana Beach to the south, unincorporated San Diego County to the east, and the Paci c Ocean to the west. Interstate 5 and Coast Highway 101 both cut north-south through the western half of Encinitas.

DESCRIPTION: The City is updating the existing Circulation Element (referred to as the Mobility Element) of its General Plan to set a long-term vision for regional mobility by establishing goals, multimodal networks, and supporting policies. The Project would accommodate future growth by providing a long-term blueprint that guides transportation decision making, plans for diverse modes, and provides mobility options including pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular travel in an organized and planned manner. The MEU envisions future mobility improvements, and includes updated goals, policies, and multimodal networks. To supplement the MEU, the Mobility Analysis Guidelines is the accompanying implementation document which provides detailed speci cations, requirements, and methodologies. The MEU revises the City’s existing Circulation Element policies to account for changes made to state law and best practices to create a single cohesive mobility framework. The MEU would also include changes to the City’s roadway classi cations to better accommodate all modes of travel.

ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: The Draft EIR concludes that the Project would not result in signi cant environmental impacts from implementation of the Project, and no mitigation measures are required. The City will consider the CEQA Findings of Fact and whether to adopt the Project and certify the EIR.

Construction begins on Ocean Creek units

Developer JPI builds apartments by Fire Mountain

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — Con-

struction has begun on Jefferson Ocean Creek, a 295-unit mixed-use development at the corner of Crouch Street and South Oceanside Boulevard in the Fire Mountain area.

•

The project, set to open in early 2026, includes 3,000 square feet of commercial space, 265 market-rate apartments, and 30 affordable, income-restricted units, ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments.

Developed by JPI Companies, the project spans 19 acres and features five buildings, each four stories high. Planned amenities include a yoga studio, fitness and cardio rooms, bike repair room, dog spa, club room, conference room, outdoor pool and spa, pool cabanas, fire pit, outdoor dog park, and a nature walk for residents.

The Ocean Creek development is considered transit-oriented due to its proximity to the Crouch Street Sprinter Station and local bus routes.

JPI plans to make several traffic improvements, including closing the existing gap on South Oceanside Boulevard, which currently runs parallel but disconnected from Oceanside Boulevard.

"This will be a brand new thoroughfare," said Rick North, senior development manager for JPI.

Additional upgrades include a new left-turn lane on Crouch Street for access to South Oceanside Boulevard, improved signal timing at the Crouch Street and Oceanside Boulevard intersection, a new sidewalk on the north side of Crouch Street, and new curb ramps at the intersection.

The Oceanside City Council approved the project in early 2023, and a groundbreaking ceremony was held on Aug. 28.

“The spirit of JPI is to build the best communities, to build the best projects, to build the best housing — Class A-plus — the best amenities,” said Scott Turner, JPI’s chief visionary officer and former player on the

San Diego Chargers. “The second part of that is to impact the communities where we build — that’s the spirit of JPI: build the best and make an impact.”

JPI has also submitted plans for another large mixed-use project at 901 Mission Avenue, across from Oceanside High School.

The proposed development includes approximately 273 units in a “podium” configuration, with residences above a 326-stall parking garage. The initial

submission was made in May, and JPI recently received its first round of comments from the city.

“We’re super excited for the project,” said Conner Kloeppel, a development manager with JPI. “As everyone knows, the city of Oceanside is a very high coastal market and we’re excited to be contributing in a positive way.”

According to the developer’s initial plans, the 901 Mission project will include 28 low-income units.

different kinds of informal settings to talk with neighbors in and around District 1 about what’s on their minds, which has also been a good chance to ask for their support.”

Voter Implications

As the election approaches, voters will likely weigh these factors, considering not just the amount

of money raised but also its sources and what it suggests about each candidate’s base of support and potential policy priorities.

These fundraising figures highlight key differences in how candidates approach their campaigns, providing voters with insights into each candidate’s network of support and strategic priorities.

While local donors can signify deep community ties, Thad Kousser, professor of political science at

UC San Diego, said external donors might reflect broader appeal.

“City council races have grown from people raising money from friends, family, local community connections, to races where the stakes of what California cities do are so high that you often have groups that are beyond the personal network of a candidate contributing,” Kousser said. “That’s increasingly the case for elections at every level in America.”

Seniors stay active at San Diego Senior Games Sports

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — Ath-

letes aged 50 to 100 from across the region are gearing up for several weekends of competition this month as the San Diego Senior Games continue following its late-August kickoff.

Since its inception in 1988, the Senior Games have encouraged older generations to remain active, showcasing their skills in a variety of sports tournaments reminiscent of the Olympics.

In the first year, 143 athletes participated across nine sports. By the following year, the event had nearly doubled, drawing 295 participants. Over the years, the

games expanded to include 18 to 22 sports, attracting up to 2,500 athletes at their peak.

This year’s games will

feature 22 sports, with more than 1,500 participants expected, according to Kirsten Cummings, executive director of the San Diego Senior

and community members,”

BESS facilities and Palomar Health administration’s denial of a property easement that would have allowed Seguro to connect to an Escondido substation via hospital grounds.

“Billion dollar companies like AES think they can come into our communities and throw their money around, try to buy off politicians, homeowners, and hospitals to allow an egregious affront to the public safety of communities, but they have underestimated the principles of our local decision-makers

Theberge said via email. “They are not so easily bought off. Kudos to Palomar Hospital, Escondido City Council, and the County of San Diego for doing the right thing.”

At the meeting, AES director of permitting Corinne Lytle Bonine challenged the resolution’s claim that BESS facilities do not create realistic economic opportunities for the city.

Lytle Bonine cited a study by the San Diego North Economic Development Council showing that the project would create 458 temporary jobs and

generate $11.6 million in local tax revenue during construction, with 35 permanent jobs and $5.8 million in annual property tax revenue afterward.

She emphasized that BESS projects enhance grid reliability, prevent power outages, and have significantly improved safety standards, reducing fire risks.

Lytle Bonine also noted that the facility would help Escondido reach its goal of 100% carbon neutrality by 2035.

“This goal is only possible when the grid is supported by battery energy systems,” she said.

Games Association.

Cummings said the Games, which started in the southern part of the county, extended to North County around 2010. Before that, North County was deemed too far for most competitors.

However, rising interest and available venues in the area eventually made the expansion possible.

“People wanted to play,” Cummings said. “Many of them were already active outside, so we knew we had to go up and represent North County.”

The San Diego Senior Games, lacking a permanent venue, rotate among various locations across the county. For about a month, events

are held from Oceanside in the north to Chula Vista in the south and as far east as El Cajon.

This year’s games began with a weekend-long pickleball tournament at Melba Bishop Recreation Center in northeastern Oceanside on Aug. 23. The competition will resume on Sept. 7 and continue each weekend until the finale on Sept. 29 at Fitness Quest 10 in Scripps Ranch.

In recognition of the games starting in Oceanside, Mayor Esther Sanchez read a proclamation celebrating the event.

Sanchez highlighted the Senior Games’ role in encouraging seniors to stay

active, which is linked to numerous health benefits.

She also emphasized the games’ community-building through partnerships with organizations like the Melba Bishop Pickleball Boosters Association, helping foster friendships and reduce isolation among seniors.

“Senior Games tackle ageism by celebrating possibilities for community members ages 50 and above,” Sanchez said, adding that the games and their partners also create “meaningful intergenerational connections between senior athletes, their family members, volunteers, and spectators.”

Animal Hospital and eventually transported to the Ramona Wildlife Center.

The last three pups came from Beverly Hills, Valley Center and El Cajon.

“Since the pups don’t have their parents anymore, the wildlife rehabilitation specialists become the teachers of these young animals,” according to SDHS.

“Staff practice natural history considerations when helping the coyote pups learn such as: hiding

or burying food to find, spreading scents from the ambassador coyotes so they learn how to identify resident adult coyotes in various territories, providing scents from potential prey animals that they might find in the wild, and giving lots of shelter and grassy hiding spots to rest and stay cool in the summer.”

Project Wildlife staff use trail cameras to remotely monitor the behavior and interactions of the coyote pups.

This not only minimizes human exposure but also helps them determine when

it’s best to return the pups to the wild.

San Diego Humane Society’s Project Wildlife program is the primary resource for wild animal rehabilitation and conservation education in San Diego County.

At the Ramona Campus, which the organization has been operating since 2020, SDHS specializes in caring for native apex predators and birds of prey, including hawks, owls, eagles, coyotes, bears, bobcats and, under special case-by-case authorization, mountain lions.

Bolts are back — not sure about their former fans

sports talk

The face looked familiar and so did the cadence of his gungho enthusiasm.

His message was clear, if somewhat new, to legions of jilted San Diego Chargers fans steamed over their team's move to Los Angeles.

Yep, that mug and voice belonged to Jim Harbaugh, back with the Chargers as their head coach as they lean toward Sunday's season opener against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders.

It’s as hard to type as it is to read: Los Angeles Chargers vs. the Las Vegas Raiders?

The names have changed and a salty rivalry has cooled. The days of Coach Marty Schottenheimer barking his constant “It’s Raiders Week” is as nostalgic as it was charming.

When the Chargers practiced at Oceanside's Camp Pendleton in June, Harbaugh offered an olive branch.

“The Chargers are Southern California,” Har-

baugh said. “Los Angeles, San Diego, all of SoCal.”

Some shrug, but Harbaugh earned stripes as a local and he's in no hurry to erase them.

He spent the final two seasons of his 14-year career as a quarterback in San Diego. In Harbaugh's last goaround in 2000, he was part of the worst squad in franchise history. It went 1-15, so his loyalty comes with scars.

Harbaugh’s coaching ladder found another rung when resurrecting Universi-

ty of San Diego football. He still owns a Coronado home and is never shy about singing our region's praises.

But repairing the rift between the Bolts’ ex-customers and the Spanos family, who yanked away their favorite squad, is a Herculean task.

Harbaugh has climbed countless mountains and shoved back on the naysayers at every stop. Don’t count Harbaugh out in bringing the Chargers back to re-

spectability, and just maybe, a few “Never Chargers” folks along with him.

“He's won wherever he’s at and he's a guy that people want to follow and play for,”

quarterback Justin Herbert said. “Really excited to get to play for him.”

Will Harbaguh entice former Chargers fans revved about his latest reclamation project?

L.A. rode the AFC West caboose and went 5-12 last year, a season so sour that a housecleaning removed

their general manager and coach.

Plus there’s a large block of onetime Chargers fans that will never holler for a Spanos product. I get it and I don’t blame them for holding a grudge since 2017.

But others still track them, refusing to allow the Spanos family to shred a generational football connection that nothing has really replaced. Sundays watching the Chargers remains a thing and countless vehicles are still rocking the

faded “San Diego Chargers” bumper stickers. It was a car wreck in ’23. But maybe the Chargers find a smooth patch with Harbaugh changing everything about an organization known for its pratfalls, not production.

The Harbaugh buzz, though, only sizzles so far.

The Chargers are breaking in a new backfield and their pass-catchers are fairly anonymous. Herbert has to show his foot is fit and that he can be efficient behind a rebuilt, and likely upgraded, front line.

Defensively, it’s about meeting at the pocket with edge rushers Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa supplying a glorious one-two punch. But Mack, 33, has to stiff-arm Father Time and Bosa needs to stay healthy.

The linebacker unit is average, and the secondary, save star safety Derwin James Jr., has questions, as well.

Oh well, it’s headfirst into another season, and again, without a local NFL bunch to cheer. Maybe Harbaugh changes that narrative by luring fans back after the Spanos family turned their backs on them.

County honors overdose deaths

By City News Service

REGION

— A field of 1,203 purple flags — each representing a life lost in the county due to drug overdose in the past year — awaited visitors to the County Administration Center last weekend in commemoration of Saturday’s International Overdose Awareness Day.

The event, held every year on Aug. 31, was started in Australia in 2001 and is recognized by San Diego County as well. The day is a campaign intended to “end overdose, remember without stigma those who have

died and acknowledge the grief of family and friends left behind,” reads the IOAD website.

While the 1,203 flags paint a bleak portrait of addiction, there are 97 fewer than in 2023.

In the United States, data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recorded 105,303 drug overdose deaths, twothirds of which came from synthetic opioids such as fentanyl.

The estimated number of people using opioids globally has doubled from 26

million-36 million people in 2010 to 61.3 million in 2020, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime reports.

Fentanyl can be 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times more powerful than morphine, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.

“Fentanyl is almost impossible to detect on your own so people may not even be aware they are taking it,” said Dr. Seem Shah, interim deputy public health officer for the county. “In some cases, as little as two milligrams is enough to cause an

overdose or even death.”

According to the county's annual Substance Use and Overdose Prevention report card, the number of people who accidentally overdosed in the county in 2023 fell to 1,203 from 1,300 in 2022. Fentanyl deaths also dropped, from 814 to 749.

According to the county, substance use treatment resources and support services are available 24/7 by calling the Access and Crisis Line at 888-724-7240 or the national Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.

• Mix it up: According to registered dietitian and culinary nutritionist Laura Ali, eating protein from different sources helps ensure you get a variety of essential vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, potassium, calcium, selenium, B vitamins and healthy fats.

Getting some variety in your diet also makes life much more interesting so that healthy habits are easier to follow.

Choose from lean proteins like lean beef, chicken, pork and of course seafood. And don’t forget to include proteins like beans, nuts, seeds, eggs and dairy products.

• Time it right: When you eat protein also matters. A protein-filled snack

• Make it easy: When it comes to healthy habits, convenience can help keep you on track, so look for sources of protein that can be prepared quickly or taken on-the-go.

• Celebrate your wins: Helping fuel everyday goals, protein-rich diets and success go handin-hand, and celebrating your wins as they come can keep the momentum going. Whether your goals include running a marathon, getting your daily walk in or simply spending quality time with family, highlight your personal victories and the strength you derive from your life and work.

LONELINESS is more than a feeling—it’s a serious risk that can increase the likelihood of early death by 26%. Stock photo

Friends, support can save your heart

By Pratiksha Gandhi

Can you imagine that loneliness could impact your heart as much as smoking 15 cigarettes a day? It’s a surprising fact that many are unaware of.

Take Gary, a 65-yearold retiree, who found himself feeling exhausted and not quite like himself after losing his wife. The isolation began to take its toll. When he finally sought medical advice, tests showed his cholesterol was high and his calcium score was concerning—proof of how closely our emotions and social connections affect our heart health.

Loneliness is more than a feeling—it’s a serious risk that can increase the likelihood of early death by 26%. For Gary, the path to better heart health wasn’t just about medication; it also involved reconnecting with others and finding support.

Research consistently shows that people with strong social networks recover faster after heart issues, experience lower stress levels, and enjoy a better quality of life.

Encouraged by these findings, Gary decided to

Safe, successful cosmetic surgery

StatePoint

In the pursuit of beauty and self-enhancement, an increasing number of individuals are turning to plastic surgery. However, beneath the promise of transformation lies a darker reality: the alarming rise of botched plastic surgeries due to an influx of undertrained, completely untrained, or reckless surgeries, most commonly undertaken by non-plastic surgeons.

“The consequences of choosing the wrong provider can be catastrophic,” says Dr. Alan Durkin, a plastic surgeon in Vero Beach, Florida. “The risks associated with botched plastic surgeries are not just physical; they extend to emotional and financial repercussions.”

According to Dr. Durkin, patients who undergo procedures under the care of inexperienced practitioners face the following risks:

insurance, leading to significant financial strain.

CHOOSING A SAFE PRACTITIONER

Amidst the risks, there are crucial steps you can take to mitigate them and ensure a safe cosmetic surgery experience. Dr. Durkin provides these factors to consider when selecting a practitioner:

surgery. Most higher-end facilities, similar to hospitals, offer dual facility certification.

• Patient reviews and testimonials: Read reviews. Websites like Google, US News and World Report and Healthgrades provide valuable insights into patient feedback, outcomes, and overall satisfaction with the surgeon and their practice.

join a local community group for people with similar experiences. Surrounded by understanding peers, he rediscovered a sense of purpose and found renewed motivation. He began walking regularly, eating healthier, and attending workshops focused on managing stress. These new connections helped him stay committed to his health journey.

Gary’s experience serves as a powerful reminder that heart health is about more than just tests and medications—it’s about the human connections we make and nurture.

• Physical harm: Complications such as infections, scarring, nerve damage, and anesthesia-related issues can result from poorly executed surgeries.

• Emotional toll: Dealing with unexpected outcomes can lead to depression, anxiety, and a loss of self-esteem, reversing the procedure’s intended benefits.

If you’re feeling lonely or unsure about your heart health, consider reaching out to a local group, volunteering, or simply reconnecting with old friends. Building those bonds can make all the difference, keeping your heart healthier and your life more fulfilling.

• Financial burden: Correcting botched surgeries often requires additional procedures and expenses that may not be covered by

• Credentials and accreditation: Plastic surgery should be undertaken by board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Verify that your surgeon is board-certified by accredited organizations such as the American Board of Plastic Surgery or the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Certification ensures that the surgeon has undergone at least six years of rigorous training and meets high standards of competency and ethics. Dual board certification offers an even greater degree of safety, but those practitioners are not in every market.

• Experience and expertise: Research the surgeon's experience performing the procedure you're considering. Experienced surgeons possess technical skill and a track record of successful outcomes and patient satisfaction. Ask about their specialization within plastic surgery and inquire about their frequency of performing the procedure. Further, ensure that your physician has hospital privileges for backup resources and that they carry malpractice insurance. It’s a big red flag to provide aesthetic procedures without malpractice insurance.

• Consultation and communication: Schedule a consultation to discuss your goals, expectations and concerns. A reputable surgeon will take the time to thoroughly assess your candidacy for surgery, explain the procedure in detail, and address all your questions regarding risks, recovery and expected outcomes. Also interview the staff. Make sure you are comfortable with the process and personnel at your facility of choice.

Remember, you don't have to face it alone—sometimes, the best medicine is finding the right people to share your journey with.

• Transparency and red flags: Red flags include discounted prices that seem too good to be true, pressure to undergo multiple procedures simultaneously, and promises of unrealistic results. A trustworthy surgeon prioritizes safety and provides transparent information about potential risks and limitations. Beware of clinics that do not provide adequate information about your procedure.

Pratiksha Gandhi, MD, is a world-Renowned preventive heart care expert

• Facility accreditation: Ensure your surgical facility is accredited by recognized organizations like the AAAASF, State Certification, Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care or the Joint Commission. Accredited facilities adhere to strict safety standards and protocols, reducing complication risk during and after

“Choosing to undergo plastic surgery is a personal decision that should be approached with careful consideration and thorough research,” Dr. Durkin says.

Start planning for your next small garden

To begin, decide where the small garden could possibly be located. You might come to your porch or patio filled with ideas, but in reality, many of the ideas might be incompatible with the site.

The key to a successful garden is creating what the 18th century architects called “the genius of the place.”

In a condominium or apartment complex, you might be working with the restrictions of space and light.

On a backyard patio, space might not be much of an issue, but you still have to work within the confines of the assigned area and always consider the sun and shade.

ANALYZE YOUR SITE

Fall is the perfect time to plan a backyard garden for next season. Analyze your patio, balcony or back porch for the amount of light available. Stand on your site at different times of the day — for example, 7 a.m., noon and 5 p.m.— to be certain there will be at least eight hours of sun in the summer

Although it seems obvious, make sure you are near a source of water. In a condo or apartment building, this might take some investigation.

A PERFECT PATIO

Fellow gardener Reegan Lessie, co-owner of Baba Coffee House in Carlsbad, and partner Rob Pastor have transformed a small 10-by15-foot cement patio into a fruit and vegetable wonderland.

Using whiskey barrels and rectangular wooden planters from Armstrong Gardens, she has created

the perfect mini vegetable patch.

Two varieties of figs festoon the whiskey barrels, Sugar Pie pumpkins hang precariously on homemade lattice and brilliant striped multi-color zinnias greet the visitor upon arrival. San Marzano tomatoes planted with Italian basil will become tomato sauce.

While sharing his photograph of their Black Mission figs, Rob said, “I had black figs for breakfast, and I’ve never tasted one as sweet as those fresh from the garden.”

Reegan also chose a Tiger Panache fig to fill a large whiskey barrel, and its oddstriped fruit is an eye-catch-

er.

“We love our fig trees because they get larger each year, but still stay a manageable size for the patio. I would certainly recommend growing figs for the newbie gardener who would like something unusual and tasty.”

Barrels filled with assorted varieties of basil help ward off the insects but, Reegan says, “We still have problems with grasshoppers. They eat the pumpkin leaves faster than we can catch them. Last night Rob chased one across the garden, but he escaped. We don’t use pesticide so it is a bit of a wild goose chase!” Reegan recommends

starting small, with three or four barrels of your favorite vegetables, fruit and flowers, adding more each year as you become familiar with your location.

SEARCH FOR THE UNUSUAL CONTAINER

English countryside gardens often are designed with a kitchen garden close to the back door. When the cook is planning dinner, they simply open the door and snip herbs, greens or fresh peas to supplement the main course.

Here, in North County, we can emulate the kitchen garden by planting with a small raised bed on legs or a large terra cotta container

next to our patio door.

A fellow horticulturist, Jennifer Wardell from Upstate New York, created a large version of the kitchen garden using a metal horse trough. These silver beauties are usually 8 by 2 feet and can be up to 3 feet in depth, and can be found in local feed stores.

Setting up the trough garden is a two-person job since holes must be drilled on the bottom of the container, later to be filled with a combination of soil and garden compost.

Jennifer said, “I used a combination of garden of organic materials, wood, compost and topsoil so as not to make it too heavy. When you lay the garden materials on the bottom and then add top soil, you won’t need as much water. The process, called “hugelkultur,” was started in Europe over one hundred years ago, and we are just catching on!”

Whichever container you choose for your kitchen garden, try to fill it with the herbs and greens you will use on a daily basis. Chose a variety of basil, parsley, lettuce, thyme and nasturtiums to start and expand from there!

Rombauer stars at Butcher Shop

When The Butcher Shop Steakhouse announced Rombauer wine dinners featuring five varietals, it was clear that proprietor Sal Ercolano would sell out these events.

Over two nights, guests were treated to an exquisite five-course dinner, each course expertly paired with one of Rombauer’s acclaimed varietals. Executive Chef Brian Gist and Rombauer’s Southwest Sales Manager, Mike Otto, worked seamlessly to create a dining experience both educational and delicious.

Founded in 1980 by Koerner and Joan Rombauer, Rombauer Vineyards has long been a beacon of quality with vineyards in Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Sierra Foothills, Lake County and the Santa Lucia Highlands. Rombauer is celebrated not just for its superb wines but also for its commitment to family-style hospitality and meticulous winemaking under the leadership of Richie Allen, senior director of winemaking.

The evening began with an artful citrus-marinated chilled shrimp avocado stack, a dish that not only delighted the eyes but also the palate. The accompanying 2022 Sauvignon Blanc boasted vibrant floral tones with nectarine and grapefruit on the palate. Its crisp, acidic finish was a perfect complement to the delicate flavors of the shrimp, setting a high bar for the courses that followed.

For the second course, guests were treated to a lavish pear salad, an inventive blend of wine-poached pear, charred romaine hearts, creamy goat cheese and can-

5% petit verdot. The result was a wine rich with black cherry, plum and fig notes, beautifully highlighting the rich flavors of the pork belly with blueberry gastrique entree.

For the main course, Gist presented perfectly grilled slices of wagyu tritip seasoned with garlic and rosemary, accompanied by potatoes lyonnaise and a broiled tomato topped with panko crumbs. This robust dish was paired with the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, Rombauer’s inaugural varietal from 1980.

died walnuts. This dish was partnered with Rombauer’s 2022 Chardonnay, a wine that holds a special place in the vineyard’s history.

With its roots stretching back to its inaugural vintage in 1982, the Chardonnay has evolved significantly. Initially crafted in a Burgundian style, it transitioned in 1990 when Koerner began sourcing grapes from Sangiacomo’s renowned Carneros vineyards.

Today, it is celebrated for its rich, buttery profile achieved through 100% barrel fermentation and malolactic techniques. Rombauer's Chardonnay has earned spots on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list three times.

The third course featured crispy seared pork belly bathed in a luscious blueberry gastrique. The complexity of the gastrique, a reduction of blueberries with cinnamon, star anise, clove, bay leaf, peppercorns and wine, was a complementary partner for the 2019 Merlot.

Rombauer’s Merlot fruit is sourced from the clay soils of Carneros that echo Bordeaux’s Right Bank. The velvety blend was 84% merlot, 11% cabernet sauvignon and

Sourced from the finest AVAs across Napa Valley, including St. Helena, Calistoga and Oakville, this cabernet sauvignon was a symphony of red cherry, raspberry, black cherry, intertwined with sage, spice, violets and a touch of oak. The supple tannins and smooth finish provided an elegant balance with the savory tri-tip dish.

The culinary journey concluded with a decadent chocolate torte topped with ganache, whipped cream and raspberry coulis. The final wine pairing was the 2019 Zinfandel, a vibrant celebration of raspberry, cherry and cranberry aromas, with a palate of concentrated red berries, spice and a hint of licorice. The zin's rich palate was a fitting end to a night of indulgent flavors and textures.

Ercolano, Gist and Otto created a memorable evening. Each course was a testament to the care taken in both the kitchen and vineyard, proving that when wine and cuisine are paired, they transcend their individual parts. Additional information can be found at rombauer.com.

All appointments will be made by the Board of Trustees from applications submitted to the District. The committee consists of seven (7) members appointed by the Board from a list of candidates submitting written applications, and based on criteria established by Prop 39. The District is seeking applications to ful ll a two-year role for the following positions:

• One (1) Community Representative At Large

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

Sabellico is also a San Diego delegate for the Democratic National Committee and recently spent a week in Chicago for the party’s national convention.

The judge agreed in part, denying the use of “educator” as it “did not meet statutory requirements and could mislead voters,” but allowing Sabellico to describe himself as a “board member” due to his recent appointment to the county’s Environmental Health and Quality Advisory Board.

“I’m glad Judge Behan saw through the dirty politicking and the lies told by Sabellico and his team,” Allman said in a statement. “He is not nor has he ever been a teacher, and he has never been employed by the District. Today’s decision was the right decision, preventing Sabellico from misleading the voters about his occupation.”

In his candidate documents, Sabellico requested the designation of “educator,” stating on his candidate forms that he was employed as a substitute instructional assistant in the San Dieguito district as of Aug. 7.

However, the district confirmed to The Coast News that while Sabellico had “expressed interest” in becoming a substitute

instructional assistant, he was not and never had been an active district employee and was still “in the process of completing the requirements necessary” to work in the role.

The judge found that since Sabellico had not worked in the district and had no prior professional work experience generating income as an educator, the term would potentially mislead voters.

“While Sabellico was issued an emergency 30day substitute teaching per-

mit in April 2024, Sabellico does not report any income as a substitute teacher,” Behan wrote in her opinion. “Moreover, Sabellico concedes that he has not yet worked for SDUHSD as a substitute teacher. The evidence indicates that ‘educator’ is not the candidate’s principal profession, vocation or occupation.”

In response, Sabellico, while acknowledging the loss of the term “educator” on his ballot designation, said he felt mostly vindicated by the judge’s ruling.

“I’m happy to run on any part of my record, but MAGA Mike Allman is clearly desperate to change the subject from his extreme Trump politics and disastrous record of failing San Dieguito kids,” Sabellico said in a statement to The Coast News. “We’re happy the judge rejected Michael Allman’s frivolous challenge to the majority of my ballot designation, and the community is more united than ever to get MAGA Mike Allman’s extreme Trump politics out of

our children’s schools once and for all.”

In the days before this week’s ruling, Sabellico’s attorney, Evan Sorem, continued to insist that his client believed he was a district employee.

A district representative again told The Coast News this was not true and confirmed that Sabellico had never worked for the district and is not a current employee.

“Mr. Sabellico is an employee of the San Dieguito Union High School District,” Sorem said. “He is proud to be working in the same public school system that gave him so much opportunity in life, and he looks forward to beginning to work once he’s returned from Chicago.” Sorem also provided The Coast News with documentation that he claimed proved Sabellico’s employment status with the district, including emails with HR staff about his submission of hiring documents, including an onboarding checklist.

SAN DIEGUITO school board candidate Kevin Sabellico, left, must change a portion of his ballot designation after a judge ruled the job title of “educator” was “false and misleading” since he hasn’t reported any income in the field. Sabellico, a local political consultant and San Diego delegate for the Democratic National Committee, is running against incumbent Trustee Michael Allman, right, for the Area 4 school board seat.

That Rule Doesn’t Apply

Police in Brighton, New Jersey, charged Zyair J. Dennis, 24, on Aug. 23 with one count of defiant trespassing after an incident on Aug. 18, the Cherry Hill Courier Post reported. Dennis, of Millville, New Jersey, was recorded at the Cohanzick Zoo taunting a tiger after climbing a barrier into the animal’s enclosure.

Police said she tried to “entice” one of the Bengal tigers through a second, inside fence. In the video, the tiger appeared to try to bite the woman’s hand.

Dennis was also caught on camera at the zoo’s bear exhibit, demonstrating the same kind of behavior, said Bridgerton Police Chief Michael Gaimari. [Cherry Hill Courier Post, 8/27/2024]

Weird in the Wild

A bald eagle that was “rescued” near Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield in Missouri because it couldn’t seem to fly wasn’t injured at all, Fox News reported on Aug. 25. Instead, wildlife officials at the Missouri Department of Conservation determined that it was “too fat to fly.”

“The bird was ... engorged with raccoon,” officials said. X-rays taken at a nearby zoo showed a raccoon paw inside the eagle’s distended stomach. The bird was released near where it was found. [Fox News, 8/25/2024]

Florida

Tampa police responded to a call on Aug. 24 at the Rags to Riches Animal Rescue, WFTS-TV reported. Dominique Amerosa, one of the owners of the rescue, said she and her mother were doing a meetand-greet with a potential owner for Bluey, a disabled pug, when they told the woman she wouldn’t be a good fit because of her other dogs.

First, the woman wouldn’t give the dog back to the owners; then she retrieved a gun out of her car and pointed it at the back of Amerosa’s head.

“My lovely neighbor came out and saw her with my mom and then ran in her house to call 911,” Amerosa said. “That is a very scary person,” she said. Police said they are investigating and working with the state’s attorney’s office to “determine the most appropriate charges.”

Unclear on Concept

Rolando Ramos, the quarterbacks coach for the Cigarroa Toros football program in Laredo, Texas, was arrested on Aug. 19 after he called police to report that a prostitute had stolen money from him, the Laredo Morning Times reported.

When Ramos tried to pay her, she allegedly grabbed $100 and ran

away. Ramos, who is also a health and physical education teacher at Cigarroa High School, faced a $2,500 bond for soliciting prostitution and was released later that day. He was placed on administrative leave by the district. [Laredo Morning Times, 8/23/2024]

SNAFU

The U.S. Navy has run out of pants, the New York Post reported on Aug. 21. The official “Navy Working Uniform,” or NWU, camouflage trousers are out of stock because of “Defense Logistics Agency vendor issues,” officials said. This particular uniform is allowed for wear on the job and out in public, but only new recruits will get new pants until at least October. In the meantime, sailors will be allowed to wear coveralls off-base (so chic) or the “2-piece Organizational Clothing,” which features flame-resistant tops and bottoms. [NY Post, 8/21/2024]

Bright Idea

A 9-year-old boy left his home in Brooklyn, New York, for school on Aug. 22 but never showed up, the Associated Press reported. His parents called police, who released a description of the missing child. When the New York CBS News helicopter arrived at the scene, they spotted the truant on the rooftop of his family’s building.

“We came across a person sitting in a chair over here on the rooftop. We zoomed in with the camera,” said reporter Dan Rice. “It appeared to be the child that fit the description of the missing child.” They alerted police and as the news helicopter watched, Rice said, “He just packs up his computer and his book bag and goes off with the police officers,” who took the boy to his parents. [AP, 8/23/2024]

Questionable Judgment

Back in January, a 33-year-old man underwent emergency surgery at Graz University Hospital in Austria after a forestry accident, Sky News reported. It wasn’t until July, however, that the patient learned the unnamed surgeon allowed his 13-yearold daughter to drill a hole in the patient’s head.

“There was no contact, no explanation or apology, nothing,” said the patient’s attorney, Peter Freiberger. “That is simply undignified.” The operation was successful, but the patient is still recovering. The main surgeon and another specialist who was present during the operation were let go by the hospital. Investigations by the public prosecutor’s office are underway. [Sky News, 8/27/2024]

Wrong Place, Time

Riders on the Supergirl Sky Flight ride at Mexico City’s Six Flags Mexico were stranded on Aug. 18 as heavy rain and winds caused the ride to shut down, United Press International reported.

Those who were on the ride at the time dangled about 240 feet in the air for 10 minutes as they were buffeted by the weather. Six Flags Mexico said the storm caused several rides to cease operating for a few minutes, but no injuries were reported. [UPI, 8/26/2024]

Sounds Like a Joke

The Hong Kong Education Bureau has produced a 70-page sex education manual for kids between 12 and 14 years old, The New York Times reported on Aug. 26. The booklet advises kids to avoid premarital sex and other “intimate behaviors” by participating in exercise and other pastimes, such as badminton, that “draw attention away from undesirable activities.”

The Education Bureau is undeterred by criticism and ridicule; it said the advice will help kids “cope with the various physiological and psychological consequences of premarital sex.” Meanwhile, teenagers are incorporating it into their slang, with phrases such as “friends with badminton.” [NY Times, 8/26/2024]

News You Can Use

Residents of Oxford, Massachusetts, are buzzing over a voluntary curfew officials put in place in late August, CNN reported. The restriction on outdoor activities after 6 p.m. through the end of September (and 5 p.m. in October until the first frost) is meant to keep citizens safe from mosquitoes that may be carrying eastern equine encephalitis, or EEE, a deadly infection, but about 200 people showed up at a town meeting to protest it.

Officials say the curfew makes people more aware of the threat and gets them off the streets while communities are spraying chemicals to combat the mosquitoes.

“It’s an unpopular recommendation, but we feel that it’s a really important part of a layered prevention strategy,” said Dr. Catherine Brown, the Massachusetts state epidemiologist. One commenter on social media complained: “Government overreach in the name of safety has upended the lives of our kids enough.” Others called for a dusk-to-dawn curfew, which would mean getting inside by about 8 p.m. [CNN, 8/27/2024]

Incompetent Criminal

Deario Wilkerson, 20, literally fell into law enforcement’s lap on Aug. 26 after he tried to hide out in the attic of a home in Memphis, NBC News reported. Wilkerson was wanted for first-degree murder in a case from April, in which Troy Cunningham was shot and killed in downtown Memphis. After the U.S. Marshals Service surrounded the home where Wilkerson was hiding, the fugitive fell through the ceiling into the kitchen of the home, landing uninjured. [NBC News, 8/27/2024]

Military renews state beach lease

By City News Service

CAMP PENDLETON

— Campers and surfers can make their way to the surf breaks of San Onofre State Beach and San Mateo Campground for at least the next quarter-century, thanks to a new lease signed last week by the military and state agencies.

The Department of the Navy and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton signed the lease with California’s State Parks office and Department of General Services to keep the popular beach open to the public.

“This new lease agreement is a win for the millions of annual visitors, for our military, for our environment, and for our community,’’ said Rep. Mike Levin, D-Dana Point.

oversees the functions of the 31,000-student community college in San Marcos. Seats for areas 2, 3 and 4 are up for election this year.

Board members are elected to four-year terms by trustee area.

In 2022, the Area 4 seat was also up for election when Michelle Rains was elected to finish the fouryear term of Brian Olsen, who resigned the previous year.

“San Onofre State Beach is a gem within our state parks system, a beloved beach with world-class surf breaks,’’ said California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot. “We’re very glad that this new lease with the Navy ensures that the state beach continues for everyone’s enjoyment in decades to come.”

vious agreement was due to expire Saturday.

The beach attracts more than 2.5 million visitors annually, according to California State Parks, which has operated and maintained the site since 1971. The pre-

San Onofre State Beach was established by thenGov. Ronald Reagan in 1971 and has three distinct areas, the San Onofre Bluffs, the San Mateo Campground and the San Onofre Surf Beach — the latter with leg-

According to State Parks, the state beach was the location of “Panhe,’’ a large village and burial site of the Acjachemen people more than 8,000 years ago. It was the site of the first Catholic baptism in California, and saw the first close contact between Spanish explorers, Catholic missionaries and the Acjachemen Indians in 1769, according to the state agency.

“The site continues to be a sacred, ceremonial and cultural location for Acjachemen Indians,’’ the State Parks website reads.

Rains will now run for a full four-year term this November. She is challenged by UC San Diego professor Holly Hamilton Bleakley and nonprofit director Ami Admire.

Area 4 is the college’s largest district by land area, covering Poway, Ramona, Julian, Borrego Springs, and parts of Valley Center and Escondido.

Board President Roberto Rodriguez is running unopposed for re-election to his Area 3 seat, representing south San Marcos, Del Dios, La Jolla Valley and Rancho Peñasquitos. He was first elected to the board in 2020 and is seeking his second term. Two challengers are running for the Area 2 seat representing central San Marcos and Escondido. Edward Pohlert is a counselor and Faculty Director for Retention Services at MiraCosta College, and Yvette Marie Acosta is a school counselor and psychologist at Escondido High School.

Cassandra Schaeg, appointed to the Area 2 seat in 2023, is not seeking re-election.

Think adoption first to save a pet’s life

In light of Puppy Mill Awareness Day on Sept. 21, San Diego Humane Society is urging community members to “think adoption first” when considering adding an animal to their family. Adopting a shelter pet comes with considerable benefits for the adopter — but most importantly, it saves lives!

With record numbers of puppies currently in San Diego Humane Society’s shelters, community members can find pets of nearly every size, shape, age and breed available for adoption. The impact of adoption has a ripple effect: By giving one pet a second chance, you open space in the shelter for another life to be saved.

Plus, every pet adopted from a shelter or rescue has been microchipped, vaccinated and spayed or neutered — services that can easily cost a pet family over $1,000. And San Diego Humane Society also offers an adoption guarantee, meaning you are welcome to return the animal to their care if it’s not the right

match for you or the pet.

Puppy Mill Awareness Day serves as an important reminder of the importance of adoption. Bella’s Act, a law passed in 2020 and sponsored by San Diego Humane Society, ended the practice of selling pets from puppy mills in pet stores throughout California. But, there are still individuals in our community profiting off of animals who come from puppy mills or backyard breeders.

If you are committed to purchasing from a breeder, take steps to make sure they are reputable and humane.

• Do your research Be sure the breeder is a reputable, licensed business. Avoid purchasing animals from Craigslist, social media sites or locations like swap meets.

• Ask questions. Inquire about their business license, how many mothers the breeder keeps on-site, how frequently litters are available and what their living conditions are.

• Make sure the animal has been seen by a veterinarian. Request the

pet’s vaccination records from the breeder and confirm the records with the veterinarian. If the pet seems ill or lethargic, these could be signs of serious medical problems as well as neglect.

• Pay with a traceable form of payment and ask for a receipt. The receipt should include the breeder’s name, address and license number. It’s a red flag when a breeder will only accept cash.

• Do your part to stop unethical breeders. Consumers have the power to put an end to irresponsible breeders by not buying pets from them. You can also report them by calling San Diego Humane Society’s Humane Law Enforcement team at 619-299-7012 (press 1).

Together, we can keep animals safe and ensure that San Diego County can Stay at Zero euthanasia of healthy or treatable shelter pets by thinking adoption first and supporting only responsible breeding.
