Horse show producer admits trying to hire a hitman to kill husband By Laura Place

VISTA — The North County woman behind an infamous failed multimillion-dollar horse show pleaded guilty this week to soliciting the murder of her husband. Tatyana Remley, 43, pleaded guilty in Vista Superior Court on Thursday to one count each of solicitation to commit murder and possession of a concealed firearm that was not regis- REMLEY tered in her name. She was immediately sentenced to a stipulated three years and eight months in state prison. Prosecutors agreed to dismiss a second gun-related charge as part of the plea bargain. Remley was arrested in August after offering to pay an undercover deputy to kill her husband, Mark Remley, during a sting operation. She brought along a “down payment” and three firearms to the meeting, and described in detail how she wanted her husband killed and his body disposed of, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. Law enforcement was first informed of Remley’s murder-for-hire plans around a month earlier, after she made a similar offer to one of the couples’ mutual friends. In July, Remley reportedly first offered money to Garrett Winne, a friend of the couple, to carry out the murder of her husband. Winne reported the incident to law enforcement and Remley was later arrested in a sting operation after soliciting an undercover officer to kill her husband at a Starbucks in Solana Beach. Remley’s change of plea comes just weeks before her scheduled preliminary hearing in mid-January.

FBI probes synagogue threats Local temples target of bogus bomb threats From staff and wire reports

REGION — Six San Diego-area synagogues were among scores of Jewish religious facilities statewide whose daily operations were disrupted Tuesday by false bomb threats, authorities reported. According to Bill Ganley, community security director for the Jewish Federation of San Diego, a group email sent to 91 facilities total across California shortly before 7 a.m. on Jan. 2 specifically targeted the places of worship. The note stated that explosives had been planted at the various sites and would detonate “soon,” according to Ganley and Lt. Zheath Sanchez of the San Diego

County Sheriff's Department. Law enforcement searches of the temples turned up no reported hazards. The local institutions victimized by the hoax were Congregation Beth Israel in San Diego, Congregation Etz Chaim in Ramona, Temple Adat Shalom in Poway, Temple Emanu-El in San Diego, Temple Etz Rimon

in Carlsbad and Temple Solel in Encinitas. A staff member at Temple Solel on Manchester Avenue in the Ca rdif f-by-the - Sea neighborhood made an emergency call shortly after 8:30 a.m. to report the synagogue’s preschool receiving the menacing message via email, according to Melissa Lopez Aquino, a spokesperson with the San Diego Coun-

ty Sheriff’s Department. The note stated that explosives had been planted at the temple and would detonate “soon,” Lt. Zheath Sanchez said. Firefighters and law enforcement responded to the scene and evacuated the synagogue, which includes a preschool, and deputies searched the buildings and grounds with bomb-sniffing dogs, finding nothing hazardous. The personnel gave an all-clear shortly after 10 a.m. The FBI has taken charge of the case, Ganley said. No suspects had been publicly identified. Such anti-Semitic terrorist threats have been on the rise, Ganley noted. Between Dec. 13 and New Year’s Day, more than 700 were reported to the Secure Community Network, a Jewish security organization that works with hundreds of synagogues across the United States, he said.

New parking rules in Del Mar Higher rates, low-income passes start next month By Laura Place

Search ongoing for missing teen By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — A local mother continues the search to find her 15-yearold son, who has been missing since leaving his Oceanside residence last month. Jennie Moya last saw her son, Rudy Moya, on Dec. 16 around 7:30 p.m. at home, about an hour before he allegedly hopped into an Uber and disappeared into the night. Before leaving, he cleaned his room and wrote a note for his mother explaining why he left. Rudy has been missing for over two weeks. A sophomore at El Camino High School, Rudy skipped the last week of classes before the winter break, missing all of his finals. “This is completely out of character for him,” Jennie said. Rudy’s mother described him as a kind young man, an excellent athlete in track, wrestling and football, and an overall great, loving son. After his mother told him it was time to disassociate himself from some

problematic friends or they would have to relocate to Fort Worth, Texas, where his stepfather is stationed in the Air Force, Rudy wrote the note and left. On the night Rudy disappeared, an Uber picked him up at 8:30 p.m. at the Holiday Inn at 1410 Carmelo Drive. According to the family, a parent of one of Rudy’s friends had paid for his 15-minute ride elsewhere in the city. According to the police, Uber won’t reveal information about the ride to show where he was dropped off because a crime technically hasn’t been committed. Police were granted access to search the home of the parent who allegedly paid for Rudy’s Uber but found no trace of the teenager. “We’re doing everything we can to find him,” said Police Capt. John McKean, who also noted the trickiness of the situation due to the lack of a crime and evidence of RuTURN TO MISSING ON 30

DEL MAR — A planned increase in paid parking rates and a new low-income beach parking pass program will kick off in February in Del Mar. Beginning Feb. 1, hourly parking rates will increase from $3 to $4, and daily rates will increase from a maximum of $15 to $20. The city will also add a 30-cent credit card fee for meter payments, and rates will be permitted to increase by up to 3% each year based on inflation. The changes come as part of a Coastal Development Permit conditionally approved by the California Coastal Commission in early 2023. The city was required to apply for the permit before implementing new parking rates due to the potential impacts on public coastal access. As part of their conditional approval, the commission added various requirements for the city to implement before allowing the new rates to go into effect. This includes a low-income beach parking pass program in Del Mar, which will allow qualifying individuals to park for free at paid city spaces. According to Del Mar Community Services Director Jon Edelbrock, this is something that will soon be required in most coastal cities. “Del Mar is the first local jurisdiction to implement this new statewide program that we’re aware of,” Edelbrock said at the City Council’s Dec. 18 meeting. “The intention is for people to be able to access

HOURLY PARKING rates in Del Mar will increase to $4 starting Feb. 1. The city will also offer low-income parking passes for qualifying individuals. Photo by Laura Place

and recreate at the public beach and coastal parks.” Under the program, which also begins Feb. 1, individuals who qualify for other low-income programs such as Medicaid/Medi-Cal, CalFresh, Supplemental Security Income or San Diego County’s rental assistance programs will be able to obtain a pass to park for free in Del Mar. The annual pass is not limited to Del Mar residents and does not have an hourly time limit. Passholders are required to renew it every year. California Coastal Commission representatives said preserving affordable coastal access is a crucial element of the Coastal Act, and clarified that interventions like the low-income parking program are considered on a case-bycase basis, they said. “Commission staff acknowledges that the price of parking continues to be a relevant issue based on

the existing infrastructure that favors transportation by personal vehicle, including for residents of inland communities wishing to spend time at the coast. In this way, parking continues to be a concern from the standpoint of both general public access as well as environmental justice,” said Coastal Planner Stephanie Leach. City Council members were supportive of the program but did raise concerns about how the city would vet applicants. Councilmember Terry Gaasterland noted that holders of the California State Parks’ Golden Bear Pass, which offers free parking at state beaches to seniors and qualifying low-income individuals, can already park for free in Del Mar. She asked if the city could prevent those passholders from obtaining a

city pass for a second vehicle. “It’s a great idea; I support the concept, but I see all sorts of room for abuse,” Gaasterland said of the program. City officials said the city pass will be granted on a per-household basis and is not needed for those who already have the Golden Bear Pass. The city does not do the income-qualifying process but relies on whether individuals qualify for other programs. The beach parking pass does not apply to Maiden Lane or the Seagrove Parking Lot, the city said. City Manager Ashley Jones said the city can remain in contact with the Coastal Commission about the new program and notify them of any issues. “We have the opportunity to go back to them and TURN TO PARKING ON 30

America’s high-speed train ride to bankruptcy

By David Ditch

n Dec. 8, the federal government made two seemingly disconnected but inexorably linked announcements that do not bode well for America’s future. First, the Department of Transportation hyped an $8.2 billion grant for passenger rail projects. Second, the Congressional Budget Office revealed that the federal government racked up a $383 billion deficit in just the first two months of FY 2024, with interest payments increasing by a shocking 65 percent year-over-year. Washington’s continued refusal to rein in wasteful and unnecessary deficit spending has led to an unfocused, unaccountable, and increasingly unaffordable federal government that threatens to derail the economy. To see why, start with the rail money—the bulk of which will go to California. The state’s High-Speed Rail Authority will receive $3.1 billion to continue its singularly awful 520-mile boondoggle from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Following its initial approval in a 2008 referendum, the project has racked up an impressive list of failures over the course of 15 years, including an increase in the estimated cost from $33 billion to over $128 billion; a delay in the estimated completion date from 2020 to at least 2033; and a 2022 New York Times expose revealing many details of California’s staggering incompetence and overregulation. While the project has been beset with then-unforeseen problems, it was primarily undermined by fundamental flaws that should have doomed it from the beginning. “Should have” because unfortunately both California and the federal government refuse to let this boondoggle die. Even with Washington’s latest $3.1 bil-

lion injection, the project needs an additional $7 billion just to complete its initial 117-mile segment from Merced to Bakersfield. Each additional dollar spent makes the project increasingly resistant to criticism or elimination, as the sunk-cost fallacy ensures that politicians will feel obligated to see it through to the bitter end. The Biden administration is also gambling $3 billion on a high-speed rail line connecting Los Angeles and

tation. The infrastructure bill was part of an unprecedented $7.5 trillion spending spree from 2020 to 2022. This deficit-fueled bender was a key factor behind the ongoing surge of inflation and, in turn, can be blamed for the recent interest rate spike. Every dollar wasted on political pork, fraud and poorly considered infrastructure makes the country’s fiscal situation even worse.

Every dollar wasted on political pork, fraud and poorly considered infrastructure makes country’s fiscal situation worse. Las Vegas, spearheaded by the Brightline corporation. Brightline, known for its privately funded service in Florida, recently opened its high-speed line from Miami to Orlando. The project’s relatively smooth construction and more reasonable cost put it in strong contrast with the ongoing debacle in California, as Reason’s Natalie Dowzicky explained in September. However, success in Florida does not guarantee a similar outcome for the L.A.to-Vegas venture. Mountainous western terrain alone will add complexity and costs not seen in the Sunshine State. Add in mountainous bureaucratic and legal burdens from California’s Environmental Quality Act, along with assorted cost-increasing mandates that come from accepting federal funding, and Brightline’s plans could go up in smoke. The Biden administration’s total $8.2 billion rail “investment” flows from the 2021 infrastructure package, which was riddled with budget gimmicks and slush funds from the start and looks even worse with the administration’s implemen-

America’s $33.8 trillion gross national debt is the result of Washington’s failure to properly budget and prioritize federal activity over the course of decades, although half of the total has been added since October 2013. The Congressional Budget Office report helps to underline the near-term severity of the problem. Due to the interest rate jump, net federal interest payments rose 65% in October and November compared to the year before. Interest payments could eclipse defense spending as early as this year and help drive deficits to unsustainable levels. Coupled with over $75 trillion in unfunded liabilities for Social Security and Medicare, the federal government’s finances pose a tremendous threat to the country’s economic prospects. One small step in the right direction would be for Washington to stop bilking taxpayers for the sake of rail projects that might never be completed, let alone come close to being worth the cost. David Ditch is a senior policy analyst at The Heritage Foundation.

ore than 35 years ago, before 1988, California’s insurance commissioner was an appointed official, and one result was that insurance companies who contributed to governors’ political campaigns invariably got favored treatment when they wanted to raise their premiums. Insurance commissioners since then have been far from perfect, but no one questions that consumers have saved more than $13 billion in rate-increase reductions since the office became elective via Proposition 103. Decades later, isn’t it about time the same thing happened to the California Public Utilities Commission, originally set up in the early 1900s to keep consumer prices down? For if there’s ever been an agency in state government that favors the industry it regulates over the consumers it’s supposed to protect, that is the PUC. Time and again, the PUC finds ways to keep electric companies alive and well-heeled even after they’ve been convicted of negligence and malfeasance for causing well over 100 deaths. No matter how many fires they cause, no matter how many gas leaks and explosions their facilities somehow allow to happen, whenever companies like Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, Southern California Gas and San Diego Gas & Electric ask for rate increases, they are forthcoming. Meanwhile, no one can touch the five PUC commissioners who facilitate this via a well-documented Kabuki dance where utilities always demand more from customers than they know they’ll get. Just like in a Kabuki dance, an elaborate ritual ensues but the outcome is foreordained. Even when these companies are fined hundreds of millions of dollars, it’s like water off a duck because they know they’ll get it all back and then some in their next routine rate increase. Meanwhile, the PUC goes merrily along, its five members each serving sixyear terms. Not even the governor who appoints them can fire them, and their decisions can be appealed only to the state Supreme Court, a rare event. Here’s just one example of how the commission favors the utilities: After CalFire investigators found PG&E negligence in 2017, 2018 and 2019 caused several of the largest and most destructive wildfires in California history, the PUC unanimously okayed Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to

california focus

tom elias

dun consumers more than $13 billion to cover the costs of future fires expected to be caused by PG&E and its brethren. No one ever explained why a company as irresponsible as PG&E had shown itself to be deserving of a huge subsidy, which consumers around the state are paying on today via their monthly bills. No one ever explained why California would not be better off if that company and others were broken up and the pieces taken over by state and local governments. There was not even an investigation of this possibility. Quite possibly, this happened because PG&E and the other utility companies have been major donors to Newsom’s political campaigns and others, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars over two decades. This never became an issue in the 2021 drive to recall Newsom, possibly because the PUC acted exactly the same under Republican governors like Ronald Reagan and Pete Wilson. Meanwhile, one survey sponsored by a group called RecallCPUC found that same year that 64% of Californians wanted to get rid of the PUC. It’s actually not a bad idea to dump the present five commissioners and the system by which they are named. But no one has seriously suggested how to replace them. The simplest outcome would be to move PUC functions into the governor’s office, where things would be even more political and campaign donation-driven than today. A better solution is to make the PUC, like the insurance commissioner, elective as it is in some other states, like Texas. This could be done via the initiative process, just as it was with the insurance department. If there’s enough public support, there would be plenty of time this spring to write and qualify an initiative for the November ballot to make a change that can only benefit the great mass of Californians. So, yes, make the commission overtly political, that is, subject to the will of the voters. They could not possibly pick worse commissioners than the governors of the last 50 years.

Leucadia resident sues city over flood damages Drainage issues caused ‘significant’ property damage By Abigail Sourwine

ENCINITAS — A local property owner has sued the city of Encinitas, claiming the city’s failure to adequately respond to years of severe flooding in Leucadia has resulted in significant damage to his rental homes and personal belongings. James Gates, owner of two properties on Europa Street, alleges inverse condemnation (when a government agency damages private property while providing public services) and has claimed the city’s negligence and inaction over the years have created a nuisance and dangerous condition of public property. According to his attorney, Vincent Bartolotta, Gates’ properties are located within a floodplain area bounded by Batiquitos Lagoon, Beacon’s Beach, railroad tracks and Union Street. After heavy rainstorms, the floodplain renders portions of the Europa properties uninhabitable, hurting Gates’ ability to earn income from renting the units as long-term multifamily dwellings. “We own property within the city limits. We are supposed to be able to use that property or its beneficial purposes unencum-

bered,” Bartolotta said. “In this case, (the property) is encumbered by the consistent flooding that the city ignores to repair.” According to the complaint, despite longstanding awareness of persistent flooding in Leucadia, the city’s installation and operation of drainage pipes and floodwater pumps have proven insufficient to mitigate excess stormwater in the area. Specifically, the city installed a drainage pipe and sluice-gate valve to drain excess stormwater westward from the east side of the railroad tracks. How-

ever, stormwater has continued to accumulate near Leucadia Roadside Park, approximately 500 feet north of Gates’ properties on Europa Street, the complaint reads. “Former members of the City Council of Encinitas, as well as former civil engineers for the city, are on record stating that the drainage pipes and water pumps are insufficient to meet the city’s drainage needs,” the complaint reads. “...The drainage pipes and water pumps are improperly maintained and operated or are otherwise insufficient to adequately

The PROSTITUTION MYTH

Sex trafficking? Not in America’s Finest City. The UGLY TRUTH According to the FBI, traffickers are exploiting people here every day. The underground sex trade in San Diego prostitutes as many as 8,100 local women and girls every year, generating over 800 million dollars in annual revenue. And because prostitution and sex trafficking can occur at private homes, hotels, casinos and fake massage parlors, it’s happening more often than you think.

remove the water and prevent flooding in the Leucadia area. In fact, the city’s employees and/or contractors at times needed to watch the weather and then manually turn on the water pumps.” The lawsuit highlights a severe storm on New Year’s Eve in 2022 that inundated the coastal areas of San Diego County, including Encinitas, resulting in “historic precipitation and flooding events.” The complaint alleges that despite the risk of flooding, the city failed to take adequate preventive measures ahead of the

rainstorm, leaving open the sluice gate and drainage pipes, which allowed stormwater to accumulate near the Europa properties. The lawsuit further claims the city neglected to activate water pumps during the winter storm, exacerbating the flooding and causing significant damage to Gates’ property and belongings, rendering the Europa properties uninhabitable for eight weeks. In January, Gates initially filed a public liability claim with the city, but the claim was rejected in March, leading to the subsequent legal action. The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages, attorney fees, costs, pre-judgment interest, and any other relief deemed appropriate by the court. Land use attorneys have previously suggested

the city of Encinitas could be liable for property damages under the inverse condemnation theory established in Locklin v. City of Lafayette. Phillip L. Pillsbury, who litigated the Locklin case on behalf of the plaintiffs, and land use attorney Bradford Kuhn, both told The Coast News that the city could be liable for damages caused to downstream properties when water is unnaturally diverted, even if it is accidental and within the same natural watershed.

OCEANSIDE — The Oceanside City Council has once again changed course on inclusionary housing rates, which will now require developers to include at least 15% affordable housing in projects citywide or pay an in-lieu fee to the city. The change happened during the council’s Dec. 20 meeting, as the body prepared to adopt a previously approved ordinance previously approved at a Dec. 6 meeting that would maintain the current 10% inclusionary housing rate throughout the city, with an increase of 20% in Smart

ing rate from 10% to 15% stemmed from a housing workshop last summer, during which dozens of community members asked for more affordable housing. Many asked for a 20% citywide rate, but the council appeared to settle on 15% affordability in multifamily and mixed-use projects and 10% in single-family neighborhoods. The council then changed the proposed affordability rate to 10% citywide and 20% along smart and sustainable corridors. Now, the city is expected to establish a 15% citywide inclusionary housing rate. Councilmember Eric Joyce, who has support-

of Housing and Community Development. “It’s not going to hurt our stock of housing or the development of housing,” he said. Deputy Mayor Ryan Keim, who does not support a blanket 15% citywide and was the sole vote against the most recent change, said density needs to be in the right places throughout the city, like the smart and sustainable corridors, which are designed to handle more people. Keim said many locals have grown frustrated over the last few years with proposals for higher-density projects crammed into

Weiss, who had suggested limiting the 20% to the smart and sustainable corridors earlier in December, said he hoped the rest of the council would “stand firm” against residents frustrated by future density bonus projects. Mayor Esther Sanchez believed it was a mistake to only raise the inclusionary housing rate to 20% in the unfinished Smart and Sustainable Corridors Plan. “We go to 20% in some future corridor definition that we can’t say what it’s really going to be,” Sanchez said. “It’s probably going to change several times before we get there.”

housing in certain areas of the city only, suggesting the move would segregate lower-income households from higher-income earners. Oceanside resident and longtime community advocate Diane Nygaard wrote an email chastising the City Council for first changing its inclusionary housing plan earlier in December. She approved of the most recent switch back to 15% citywide. “Our City Council seems to be getting back on track with increasing the amount of critically needed affordable housing in our community,” Nygaard said via email. “Fortunately, they backtracked from the pre-

moved us backwards.” While Nygaard said the last vote was a “step in the right direction,” the Oceanside senior volunteer remains concerned about future council decisions regarding affordable housing and density. “They still seem confused about the interface between affordable housing and increasing density,” Nygaard said. “State law basically allows density bonus increases everywhere. That is the opposite of smart growth. It is up to our council to work within the limits of state law while still doing what is best for our community.”

Suspects arrested in burglary

ASTREA pilot training ongoing

By City News Service

REGION — The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department will continue its ASTREA training program for several months until pilots are proficient with the new aircraft the department acquired last month. Last month, the department added two helicopters to its fleet: a 412EPX fire helicopter and a 407GXi patrol helicopter. Sheriff’s officials said ongoing training was needed, even for the most seasoned pilots, focusing on basic operational skills, instrument rating and different fire-rescue and patrol techniques. “The pilots will be continuing their training for a number of months to become efficient with the new aircraft. There are different aspects of training that will include hoist training and water drops. Some pilots in the program have close to two decades of experience,” said sheriff’s Media Relations Director Lt. David LaDieu. Aerial Support to Regional Enforcement Agencies, or ASTREA, is the sheriff’s department’s aviation unit. ASTREA has provided aerial support to the department and partner agencies since 1971. Officials said ASTREA averages nearly 6,000 missions per year to support patrol and fire and rescue calls throughout the region. The majority of pilot training is held in San Diego County. However, a preliminary two-week training course is conducted at the Bell Training Academy in Fort Worth, Texas. The training is specific to pilots who will be operating Bell-manufactured aircraft. Once training in Texas is completed, pilots will resume training three to four days a week at a basic operations facility in San Diego until they gain enough hours to operate the new Bell aircraft. Training will cover such skills as search-

DEL MAR — Four persons involved in a suspected residential burglary were arrested after fleeing the scene, resulting in a short high-speed chase and their apprehension when they crashed into a security gate of a private community, authorities said last week. The burglary occurred about 7:42 p.m. Dec. 23 when deputies were dispatched to a burglary call in the 6800 block of Poco Lago in the Rancho Santa Fe neighborhood, where three suspects were reported attempting to gain entry to a home, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. After deputies arrived on scene, air support advised that the suspects were seen fleeing through the canyon to a getaway vehicle. Once the suspects entered the vehicle, they fled at a high rate of speed, according to a statement from the sheriff's department. Patrol deputies attempted to initiate a high-risk vehicle stop, but it sped away and led officers on a short pursuit that ended when the suspects crashed into a gate of a private community, according to the department. The four suspects then exited the vehicle and fled on foot. The four suspects were arrested on multiple charges, which included felony evading, residential burglary, possession of stolen property and resisting arrest. They were later booked into the San Diego Central Jail. Multiple items of stolen property were allegedly recovered from their vehicle. Further information about the items that were stolen and the suspect’s identities was not immediately available.

Planning commission approves winery, condos Mixed-use infill project slated for Old Encinitas site By Abigail Sourwine

ENCINITAS — The Encinitas Planning Commission unanimously approved plans for a new mixed-use residential development project in Old Encinitas during its Dec. 21 meeting. Dominic Burtech’s infill proposal includes 16 residential condominium units and two commercial units to house Burtech Family Vineyard’s winery at the terminus of Second Street. The project site, comprised of four lots, was once home to Burtech Pipeline, Inc., a general engineering contractor that has since moved to Vista. Currently, a coffee shop, a ceramic studio and a single-family residence with three studio units occupy the property, all of which will be demolished for new condos. Under state densi-

ty bonus law, the project will create a total of 16 residential units for sale, with three units targeted toward “very low income” and “low income” households. The majority of condominiums will be offered for sale at market rates. The developers are seeking waivers in parking space and loading requirements to accommodate the increased density. Specifically, the waivers would allow adjustments in parking stall widths near fences or walls without compromising safety or functionality. In terms of design and infrastructure, the proposal includes plans to consolidate existing lots and create 18 airspace condominium units and 2,694 square feet of commercial space for proposed retail, commercial manufacturing (wine processing) and a small restaurant. The overall development is planned to cover approximately 21,000 square feet and includes various infrastructure enhancements such as

cul-de-sac construction, sidewalk installations and alley improvements. “I want to say thank you to Dominic,” said Jim Sikora, a neighbor of the development. “We’ve been working with him on this project since it was presented back in 2021. He has been a great neighbor in this process and has listened to concerns that the neighbors have had.” However, Sikora also raised questions about third-floor balconies overlooking neighboring properties. Other neighbors asked questions about utilities, parking, and construction impacts. “This is an unusually small zone and this is a really good infill project,” Commissioner Bob Johnson said. “It’s going to take a quiet little backwater that’s not very attractive and turn it into something useful and good for the community.” The project will now go through the city’s development review process, with construction planned to begin in 1-2 years.

and-rescue missions, water drops, hoists and wildfire training. “Our latest fire helicopter is the Bell 412EPX. This helicopter is designed to operate in challenging environments and weather conditions that are typically encountered during firefighting missions,” LaDieu said. Two pilots already in training to operate the new aircraft are seasoned pilots with decades of experience, but officials said even experienced pilots need additional training to learn the operating systems and functions of the new aircraft. New ASTREA pilot recruits are promoted from within the department. Deputies must have one to two years of patrol experience before being considered and admitted into the program. If accepted into the highly coveted program, qualified deputies start as "observers" who assist the mentor pilot. After acquiring enough hours of experience, they are sent to pilot school, which is paid for by the department. ASTREA is a highly sought-after assignment, which can make attaining an open pilot slot competitive. The 412EPX is designed to collaborate with Cal Fire, with seven firefighters on board during fire calls. The 407GXi is dedicated to law enforcement operations, day or night. It comes equipped with precision navigation, allowing pilots to track and respond to incidents accurately. “These helicopters empower our first responders to meet the demands of their critical roles. They represent our commitment to your safety and our preparedness to handle whatever challenges may come our way. It is our promise to be there when you need us the most,” according to a statement.

Smoking signs hit streets

Woman struck by rock on I-5 By City News Service

By Abigail Sourwine

ENCINITAS — The city installed 66 no smoking signs last week to increase awareness of a local ordinance banning smoking and vaping in public places and places of employment. The ban is one of the strictest smoking policies in Southern California. The ordinance, adopted in February 2023 and effective as of July 11, aims to mitigate the harmful effects of secondhand smoke on public health and curb environmental pollution caused by discarded cigarette butts and vaping waste. Smoking is still allowed on private residential property and inside actively driven motor vehicles. Hotels and motels must be at least 80% smoke-free, with smoking and vaping allowed in designated rooms and areas. Smoking within 20 feet of public places and at places of employment, including restaurants and businesses, could result in a penalty ranging from $50 to $1,000 for violators, depending on the severity of the infraction. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department was directed to issue a $50 fine for first-time offenders and add $50 to the charge for each repeat offense. Local businesses can comply with these regulations by eliminating designated smoking areas within their premises, and they are encouraged to display “Smoke-Free Encinitas” decals to inform patrons of the ordinance. The metal signs are designed with a black and white design and a graffiti protection layer. The signs were placed in 36 locations, mainly along Coast Highway 101 from Leucadia to Cardiff, and required adding seven new poles to hang them. The locations designated for sign placement range from commercial areas to parks and pedestrian crossings. According to the city, the signs are strategically positioned at prominent locations, from downtown businesses to the Community Resource Center.

Locals fight to ‘Stop Seguro’ Eden Valley residents spurn battery facility By Samantha Nelson

REGION — Residents of the Eden Valley and Harmony Grove neighborhoods continue efforts to prevent a massive battery storage facility from being built near their rural homes. AES Corporation, a global energy company focusing on developing green energy solutions, has proposed a BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) facility, known as the Seguro Energy Storage project, in unincorporated Eden Valley just outside of Escondido. If approved by the county, the project would be located on 22 acres at 925 Country Club Drive, previously a horse reining arena before the land was sold to the energy company. While not the first battery storage system in California or even San Diego County, the Seguro Energy Storage project’s 400 megawatts or 1600 megawatt hours of stored energy capacity would be one of the largest in the state — enough to power nearly 300,000 homes in California for four hours. The project would feature 40-foot-long metal

storage containers ranging from 8 to 10 feet in height that would house racks of battery modules meant for storing extra energy generated throughout the day and delivering it to homes during high-demand periods. The project is still in its early design stage. According to AES officials, the latest permit application plot plan assumes that 230 battery storage containers will be onsite; however, this will likely change as the project design is optimized. The system would connect to the power grid from a new substation built on the project site to the nearby existing San Diego Gas & Electric Escondido Substation

via an electric transmission line. Neighbors of the Eden Valley, Harmony Grove and Elfin Forest communities fear the project’s proximity to homes and Palomar Medical Center Escondido could fuel already dangerous local fire conditions if the facility caught ablaze. “Lithium-ion batteries are constructed with flammable electrolytes and reactive lithium salts, which can generate a violent exothermic chemical reaction if the battery is damaged, overcharged or exposed to high temperatures,” said nearby resident Ashley Robertson Bedard via email. “The thermal energy generated by

these reactions can cause a thermal runaway condition, which in turn enters a cycle of rapid increases in temperature and pressure within the battery, resulting in an explosion or fire.” Many other residents, like Bedard, have voiced their concerns at previous information sessions held in 2023 and have created an online petition in opposition to the project. According to the petition, despite the project being touted as a renewable energy solution, its size, paired with only a 25foot setback from current residential properties, is a problem. The Elfin Forest Harmony Grove Town Council has also expressed its opposition to the project. Just recently, the council earmarked 50% of the approximately $10,000 in funds raised from its annual 5k/10k Elfin Forest trail run in early December to go toward stopping the proposed facility.

OCEANSIDE — A pregnant woman was struck by a large rock thrown from an overpass while driving on Interstate 5 in Oceanside on Dec. 31, officials said. Police were dispatched at about 8:47 a.m. Sunday to the overpass at Bush Street, according to the Oceanside Police Department. “An off-duty Oceanside police officer was driving behind the victim’s vehicle and witnessed the incident occur and provided a description of the suspect to responding officers,” according to a statement from the department. Officers said the vehicle was driving southbound on I-5 when the occupants saw someone on the overpass above throw a large football-sized rock at them. The rock went through the vehicle’s windshield and struck a pregnant passenger sitting in the front seat. The victim was transported by air ambulance due to the nature of her injuries, and the unborn child did not appear to be injured, authorities said. The mother sustained non-life-threatening injuries, according to officials. Surveillance video was obtained of the incident, and officers located the suspect in a nearby canyon. Police identified him as David Avalos, and he was arrested at the scene without incident, the department reported. Avalos was booked into the Vista Detention Facility on suspicion of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and throwing an object at a vehicle that resulted in an injury. Anyone with information about the alleged attack was urged to call detective Jeff Vandenburgh at 760-435-4237.

Pets of the Week

EDEN

ANGEL

Eden is Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s pet of the week. She is a 2-year-old, 7-pound, female domestic short hair cat with a calico coat. Eden was a stray in Riverside County before she was taken to one of Rancho Coastal’s rescue partners. When nobody reclaimed her, Eden was transferred to RCHS through Friends of County Animal Shelters. Eden is a petite adventurer. She loves to explore and play. She would best fit into a family eager to encourage her youthful spirit. The $100 adoption fee includes a medical exam, neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, registered microchip and a one-year license if the new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services. For information about adoption or to become a virtual foster, stop by Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza St., Encinitas, call (760) 753-6413 or visit SDpets.org.

Angel is Helen Woodward Animal Center’s pet of the week. She is a 6-pound, 8-month-old brown and white tabby kitten. Angel is described as sweet and incredibly friendly. When new people approach her, she becomes excited and shows off her goofy side by rolling around and pressing her face into pretty much everything. When someone extends their hand, she is quick to rub her face on them. Angel’s adoption fee is $145 plus a $36 microchip fee. All pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center are altered and upto-date on vaccinations and micro-chipped for identification. Helen Woodward Animal Center at 6523 Helen Woodward Way in Rancho Santa Fe. Kennels are open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (By appointment only.) For more information, call (858) 756-4117, option #1 or visit animalcenter.org.

f you’ve wondered how I consistently meet a weekly deadline, the answer’s simple: I’m always working on several columns. I inch them forward as time permits, and as they’re completed, they go into the queue for publication. You see, early in my career my mentor advised me to always carry work with me. He said, “There will be 5- or 10-minute gaps in your schedule, where you’re awaiting a meeting or taxi. Put that time to good use by writing a sales letter or reading an article.” This advice has proven invaluable. Because there are only 1,440 minutes each day, and there’s never enough time to finish all your work. Ever. But those little pockets

ask mr. marketing rob weinberg of time could be enough to keep you moving forward on various tasks. To this day I always carry something I’m in the middle of, invariably scrambling to get ideas written down before transitioning to the main event (meeting, ride, etc.) of the moment. I’m guessing you also have projects whose completion remains out of reach. This adds to your stress, frustration and sleepless nights. Yet odds are excellent

you stand around looking at social media or playing Wordle when waiting for your appointments. Why aren’t you instead considering your marketing plan from a fresh perspective? My mentor was fond of saying, “When you’re killing time, you’re murdering opportunity.” I concluded it was more profitable to play games after hours…once the work is done. Conclusion: Because I’m always carrying several working columns with me, I am always able to make my deadlines. Because my columns typically require two hours to write. And 10 extra minutes can make quite a difference in such a case. Though you’re not asking, I’d suggest you also always carry with you an incomplete project.

Of course, this necessitates consistently bringing your phone, pad or laptop with you. Or, if you don’t wish to carry the technology, printing out a page or two and using pen and paper. What a concept, right? Do whatever works best for you to help you make more of your day and your time. And consider that picking up 10 extra minutes each workday is the equivalent of gaining an additional week of work time each year. It’s like finding free money! With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Discover greater success in 5 minutes at www. askmrmarketing.com.

CCA teachers honored for excellence By Staff

REGION — The Asian American Parent Alliance of San Diego honored 12 Canyon Crest Academy teachers at its inaugural Education Excellence Award ceremony on Dec. 15. Canyon Crest Academy is located in the Pacific Highlands Ranch community of San Diego and is one of five high schools in the San Dieguito Union High School District. The ceremony took place at Pacific Social restaurant in The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch. The Alliance chose the 12 out of 60 teacher nominations from more than 250 students at CCA. Those 12 are social science teachers Sarah Aguilar, Amanda Melkonian and Stuart Pollock; world language teachers Katelin Butcher and Chungching Kao; English teacher Sharon Dasho; math teachers Chiara Luna, Jinsig Min and Brian Shay; and science teachers Kristin Sevilla, Kaveh Shakeri and Alex Siegel. Jeff Charles, vice-chair of the SDUHSD Personnel Commission, and biotech executive William Sandborn presented the honorees with their awards on behalf of the Alliance. Hon-

orees also received touching, written accolades from their students — a highlight of the night for the teachers. The Education Excellence Award recognizes the achievements of high-performing teachers, encouraging all teachers and students to devote their own best efforts toward pursuing the highest caliber educational experience. The Alliance advocates in favor of equal opportunities for students of all backgrounds to pursue a merit-based education and in particular to encourage

increased participation by the Asian-American community in schools. “Raising children and preparing them for adulthood is a demanding task. Getting a good education is a big part of that process, and it is especially helpful when excellent teachers inspire our students to achieve their best,” said Alliance Chair Hong Wu. “The Education Excellence Award is meant to acknowledge the invaluable contributions that good teachers make to so many lives.” The award was partic-

ularly special for honorees Shakeri and Siegel. As his former teacher, Shakeri made a difference in the life of the young Siegel, who graduated from anyon Crest in 2012. Eight years later, Siegel returned to CCA as a science teacher, like Shakeri, and varsity lacrosse coach. The Alliance intends to identify future honorees at other schools in the district. The Asian American Parent Alliance of San Diego is a nonprofit organization. For more information, contact info@aapasd.org.

New crime, traffic safety laws take effect Jan. 1 Legislators target fentanyl, housing, traffic stops, more By City News Service

REGION — The California Highway Patrol has released a set of traffic safety laws passed this year and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom that take effect Jan. 1, 2024. The new traffic safety laws include: Vehicle registration (AB 256): Amends existing law requiring current month and year tabs to be displayed on the registered vehicle’s rear license plate. As of July 1, 2024 and until Jan. 1, 2030, a violation of vehicle registration shall not be the sole basis for any enforcement action before the second month after the month of expiration of a vehicle’s registration. Late registration fees from the Department of Motor Vehicles still apply. Vehicle removal (AB 925): Requires law enforcement to verify the lack of current vehicle registration with the DMV before towing a vehicle for expired registration longer than six months and prohibits the vehicle from being towed if the officer or traffic enforcement official does not have immediate access to those records. Crosswalks (AB 413): Designed to increase visibility at crosswalks by prohibiting parking or stopping a vehicle along a curb at least 20 feet from a marked crosswalk or 15 feet of a crosswalk where a curb extension is present. The regulation only

applies to the side of the road of the vehicle’s approach to the crosswalk. Local jurisdictions may establish different distances by marking areas with signs or paint. Cruising (AB 436): Removes city and county authority to regulate cruising via local ordinances. Additionally, the law legalizes “low rider” ve-

hicles allowing them to cruise streets by removing the height restriction on lowered vehicles. Education transportation (SB 88): will require drivers and their vehicles, which are used by a local educational agency, to provide pupil transportation for compensation and to meet certain safety requirements.

Zero-emission school buses (SB 775): Authorizes a school district, county office of education, or charter school using a zero-emission school bus to transport pupils at or below the 12th-grade level to place signage on the rear of the bus identifying it as a clean-air zero-emission bus. It also authorizes the

CHP to issue guidelines governing the size and placement of that signage. Catalytic converters (AB 641): The law redefines an automobile dismantler to include individuals in possession of nine or more catalytic converters. The law also creates penalties for those illegally acting as auto dismantlers. Repair shops and other entities with a legitimate purpose for having catalytic converters will be excluded from the penalty. Additionally, AB 1519 makes it illegal to remove a Vehicle Identification Number from a catalytic converter or to possess three or more catalytic converters that have had their VIN markings removed. And lastly, SB 55 requires a motor vehicle dealer or retailer to have the catalytic converter engraved or etched with the VIN number before a new or used truck or car is sold. The governor also signed several new crime and law enforcement-related bills into law during the last state legislative session. Most of the new laws take effect on Jan. 1, 2024 and include: AB 701: Imposes harsher penalties for people trafficking large amounts of fentanyl. As of Jan. 1, those convicted of dealing a kilogram or more of fentanyl will face stiffer penalties and sentencing enhancements for dealers. SB 14: Prescribes harsher penalties for those arrested and tried on charges of sex trafficking of minors for monetary gain. The new law desig-

San Diego County gas prices see little change By City News Service

REGION — The average price of a gallon of selfserve regular gasoline in San Diego County inched up one-tenth of a cent this week to $4.777, after decreasing 78 times in the previous 81 days. The average price is 1.4 cents more than one week ago, 16.3 cents less than one month ago, and 23.4 cents more than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. It has decreased $1.658 since rising to a record $6.435 on Oct. 5, 2022. The national average price dropped for the 11th time in the last 12 days, decreasing 1 cent to $3.094. The national average price is 2.8 cents less than one week ago, 14.9 cents lower than one month ago, and 13.4 cents less than one year ago. It has decreased $1.922 since rising to a record $5.016 on June 14, 2022. “After a brief hiatus, the national average has moved off its recent high, again falling closer to the $3 per gallon mark, setting up a potential second attempt at slipping

below $2.99 for the first time since 2021,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, which provides real- time gas price information from more than 150,000 stations. “While gas prices have risen in some areas, such as California after refinery snags emerged, other states have returned to declines. Illinois is one such example, falling below $3 per gallon for the first time since 2021. The Great Lakes and Gulf Coast offer some of the nation's lowest gas prices, with the window of opportunity holding for the next few weeks to potentially re-test some of the levels seen a few weeks ago.” On Dec. 31, the average gasoline price in San Diego County rose to its highest amount to end a year, despite a recent run of 77 decreases in 80 days totaling $1.489. The average price rose one-tenth of a cent Sunday to $4.778, erasing the previous high to end a year of $4.631 set in 2021, according to previous figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.

nates human trafficking of minors for commercial gain as a serious felony, resulting in harsher prison sentences and inclusion in California’s Three Strikes Law. AB 2282: Expands the definition of hate symbols to include any symbols or marks with “the intent to terrorize another person,'' such as Nazi symbols and nooses. The bill also speaks to the need to address hate crimes with symbols against certain minority groups. SB 700: Modifies existing law to make it unlawful for an employer to request information from an applicant relating to the applicant's prior use of cannabis or to use a prior criminal history of cannabis use. AB 1418: Bans local California governments from enforcing crime-free housing policies. Such policies prevent landlords from renting to those with prior convictions but may also call for the eviction of tenants based on arrests or contact with law enforcement. AB 2773: Requires police officers to state the purpose of a traffic or pedestrian stop before asking any other questions. Officers can only skip stating the reason for the stop if they deem it necessary to protect life or property from an imminent threat. The new law is intended to prevent pretextual stops, in which an officer stops a vehicle or pedestrian for something minor, with the intent of searching to determine if a larger crime is evident.

“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.” — Irish proverb

When a loved one dies, we are often faced with the question of how to safely dispose of their medications. “Flushing them” is not the answer. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and the San Diego Board of Supervisors recognized that unwanted, unused or expired prescription drugs presented substantial risks to our community by either falling into the wrong hands, or by damaging our environment through improper disposal. To solve this issue, most Sheriff Stations now offer secure collection drop-boxes. Residents are welcome to come to any of the facilities listed on their website where unwanted medications may be turned in anonymously. To see a list of stations with drop boxes and for more details, visit the San Diego Sheriff Department’s website at https:// www.sdsheriff.gov/community/ prescription-drug-drop-off

THE WAVES of winter, some of the coldest and biggest of the year, present a challenge to any surfer who took to the water last weekend. Photo by Chris Ahrens

A New Year’s Eve swell

odern society doesn’t lock a kid into a cage with a predatory animal on their 14th birthday to see who will prevail. Not that I lament that fact, but with no official rites of passage in our society, adolescents often wonder if they have what it takes to graduate from childhood into adulthood. Surfing, in a way, is no different. There are no diplomas for kids moving past the dribblers of summer into the outside lineup on a raging northwest swell like the one that slammed our coast last Friday. While I don’t know any of them, I am certain many young surfers had trouble sleeping Thursday night on the eve of the first major swell of the season. They awoke early Friday, hoping that their 7’6” semi-gun would get them down the face of a 12-foot wave. Some made excuses as

water spot chris ahrens to why they weren’t paddling out. Others sought out easy waves that broke close to shore. A few put their heads down and paddled toward uncertainty. With water temperatures in the low 60s and facing some of the highest tides of the year, Friday morning’s shore break proved extra challenging. As the inside waves broke, cobblestones collided with human flesh. A misstep on a slippery rock, mistiming your launch into the water, anything could land you back on the beach. Once beyond the shore break, the real battle began. Staying in the channel

does not always guarantee you’ll make it beyond that approaching mountain of whitewater. Sensing that the crowd is moving out, you realize a set is coming. How big? you wonder. Paddling over the first wave, you’re certain there’s a bigger one behind it — perhaps one of those triple overhead set waves will land directly on you, snap your leash, maybe your board. Maybe you. The first lines of whitewater push you deeper than you’ve ever been. Struggling to push off the ocean floor, you wonder, “Is it coming up?” The kelp rises, and a wave breaks 50 feet beyond everyone. This is going to hurt. You ditch your board in the soup and are down for a long time. Coming up, you gasp for a breath and see surfers like ducklings, retrieving their boards and paddling toward the peak. Another wave hits. Then another. A lull gives you a pass into the outside peak. With waiting comes the time to think. Then you see it, roaring in from the north. A wave at Moonlight breaks in a place further from shore than you have ever seen. Paddle hard and push through. You are safely in the lineup when the first wave of the set lifts you. You think to paddle further out, but something inside insists you go. This one’s yours. As if to get a second opinion, someone calls “go,” followed by your first name. Now, you have to go. Two, three, four strokes and you’re in, falling like you might from a 20-story building. Once at the bottom, you lean into a turn as the whitewater explodes behind you. Somebody hoots, but you barely notice. Can I beat the section? Yeah. Barely! Then the racecourse, where you’re moving fast before being cut down as half the Pacific exacts its revenge on you for challenging it. It wins. It always wins. Or, maybe it’s a draw as you enter the first day of your adult life. A new world opens up, revealing a shining path all the way to the horizon. All the way to infinity.

Encinitas group threatens lawsuit over border sewage By Abigail Sourwine

ENCINITAS — An Encinitas-based environmental group has threatened legal action against the International Boundary and Water Commission over a treatment facility’s discharge of millions of gallons of untreated sewage each day into the water along California’s southern border. The Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation teamed up with longtime partner San Diego Coastkeeper to issue a notice of intent on Dec. 28, alleging “hundreds of violations” of federal law at the IBWC’s South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant, located in the Tijuana River Watershed on the border between the U.S. and Mexico, near the Port of San Ysidro. Most of the watershed, including the Tijuana River that empties into the Tijuana River Estuary, is located in Mexico, with a small portion (roughly 25%) in Southern California. According to the notice, IBWC stands accused of allowing the South Bay treatment plant to discharge millions of gallons of untreated sewage, toxic chemicals and garbage, causing severe environmental degradation in the Tijuana River Watershed and Pacific Ocean “at various San Diego beaches near the mouth of the Tijuana River.” “There have been over 700 consecutive days of beach closures in and around Imperial Beach

since the beginning of 2022 to today,” the notice reads. The resulting closure of public beaches, reports of infections among beachgoers and economic impacts have prompted environmental groups to seek help from the courts. “If you go to the beach anywhere from Coronado south, it’s polluted virtually every day of the year,” said Marco Gonzalez, CERF’s executive director. “Our goal is to eliminate that condition.” The legal notice details the IBWC’s alleged failures to comply with discharge prohibitions, chronic vi-

olations of water quality objectives, and lapses in submitting mandatory self-monitoring reports. The IBWC faces a federal lawsuit if the alleged violations are not rectified within 60 days, or Feb. 26. “The USIBWC is confident the plan we have outlined to repair, rehabilitate and expand the South Bay plant is a major step forward as we work with our partners and stakeholders to improve the health and welfare of communities on both sides of the border,” said Frank Fisher, the IBWC’s chief of public affairs. “We are also providing reg-

ular updates to the public on our progress.” Sewage discharge along the U.S.-Mexico border dates back several decades, with the first documented instances surfacing in the early 20th century. The issue gained substantial attention and scrutiny in the late 1980s due to environmental crises. In 1990, a significant spill released millions of gallons of thick black liquid, untreated sewage, into the Tijuana River. The 1997 El Niño weather phenomenon exacerbated the sewage spills, leading to prolonged beach closures, health ad-

visories and environmental damage. Since these early crises, the region has grappled with recurrent sewage discharges, often from malfunctioning infrastructure, inadequate treatment facilities and the aging sewage system on both sides of the border. In 2022, environmental advocacy groups filed a lawsuit against the IBWC over pollution of the Tijuana Estuary and Pacific Ocean, resulting in the Environmental Protection Agency allocating roughly $300 million to upgrade and expand the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant near San Ysidro. Despite this settlement, the sewage treatment facility requires more than $150 million in immediate repairs and potentially over

$1 billion for future expansion to address the sewage issue fully, according to subsequent assessments. Over the years, despite occasional legal actions, settlements, and funding initiatives to address the sewage crisis, the issue has remained far from resolved. “What we want is a solution, and that could mean an entirely new treatment plant or an expansion of the existing plant,” Gonzalez said. “Whatever it is, a solution is going to cost tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars and will take many years to implement. I expect that if we’re going to reach an agreement out of court, it’s probably going to take us many, many months to negotiate and figure out. Otherwise, we’re going to litigate, which will probably take a couple of years to reach a resolution.”

Oceanside gets funds for sand dune project By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — The city has accepted a $56,876 grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to install and monitor dunes on the backend of several northern city beaches as part of a pilot project to restore habitat and retain sand. The City Council unanimously approved the Oceanside Coastal Dune Restoration Project funds at its Dec. 20 meeting. The project will test a nature-based sand retention solution by installing dunes to help protect the shoreline from rising sea levels and coastal flooding by elevating the beach, acting as a buffer between the ocean and local infrastructure. According to staff, dunes could help reduce sand maintenance at parks and picnic areas, roads and pathways next to sandy beaches by trapping the wind-blown sand on the dunes instead of blowing it into the streets, parking lots and other city infrastructure. The project would restore a rare, native coastal dune habitat on the city’s beaches. Coastal dunes are increasingly rare ecosystems consisting of wind-blown sand and native plants located landward of the annual extreme wave run-up zone along the beach. “There are very few dunes with native plants remaining in San Diego Coun-

ty,” said Carolyn Lieberman, federal project officer with Fish and Wildlife, at the Dec. 20 council meeting. "The whole county used to have dunes, and there are very few places where they exist now.” Last March, the city agreed with Rincon Consultants to create a concept for a nature-based solution to address sea level rise and sand management. In June, the city applied for Fish and Wildlife’s Coastal Program grant, which provides technical and financial assistance to coastal communities to restore and protect local habitats effectively.

The grant funds will be used to conduct public outreach to determine where the project should be placed, develop further design details, and install the project. The dunes would be located at the mid-to-back sections of Harbor Beach in areas not subject to high tides or wave run-up except in extreme weather conditions. At North Strand Beach, the dunes would be along the back beach, alongside pedestrian and bike paths. Fencing standing approximately 3 feet high from the ground will be temporarily used to develop the

dunes as vegetation grows and will be removed once the dunes are established. The fencing will be slotted to allow sand to blow through the fence and accumulate on the dunes. Once restored, the dunes sustain vegetation year-round and could widen over time if desired. Native vegetation will flower at various times throughout the year. The dunes aren’t expected to be taller than four feet and could be easily removed if problematic. The grant requires the project to be monitored and reported throughout its du-

ration. According to staff, agencies including the Ocean Protection Council, the California Coastal Commission and the California Natural Resources Agency are all lauding dune restoration projects as a natural method of mitigating sea level rise. The proposed project will be shared with the Harbor and Beaches Advisory Committee at a Feb. 19 meeting before its final siting, design and construction. Public outreach will be conducted sometime in the spring or summer. Members of the public and elected officials have generally supported the dune restoration project, but several voiced concerns about the proposed Harbor Beach location. “Harbor Beach is the most used beach in all of North County – even its back beach area,” said Oceanside resident Carolyn Kramer. “Obviously, whoever wrote this doesn’t frequent Harbor Beach.” The project plans to avoid frequently-used beach space at Harbor Beach, including areas that host the city’s junior lifeguard program, the annual U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredging project, the spring Ironman competition and beach soccer championships. Some residents suggested placing the dune project on the city’s southern beach-

es, where more sand is desperately needed. However, those beaches don’t have enough sand to support the project. “Dune restoration projects are most successful in locations with ample sand resources and do not fare well in areas with limited sand, which is why this effort is focused on Oceanside’s northernmost beaches, where sand is more plentiful,” the staff report states. Kramer and others were also concerned about the project, including sandburs, a native dune plant that produces sharp, spiky burrs that could potentially harm beachgoers. Councilmember Eric Joyce said he supported the dune project but hoped the sandburs could be left out. Mayor Esther Sanchez also supported the project and its funding but noted she did not want to see it installed at Harbor Beach. “We need to maintain that space as a very active place for people to go to the beach,” she said. The project’s total cost is expected to be somewhere approximately between $69,000 and $85,000. In other Oceanside sand retention news, the City Council is expected to choose a design finalist from its Coastal Resilience Competition (RE:BEACH) to address its southern beaches’ severe sand erosion issues sometime in January.

Lick the Plate’s kitchen essentials for 2o24 lick the plate

david boylan

s we entered the new year, I was doing my annual deep clean and reorganization of my kitchen and was quite proud of how I'd reduced my kitchen clutter and non-essential gadgets. I’ve been guilty in the past of getting sucked into kitchen items that sounded great but, in reality, just took up space and were more hassle than they were worth. One that comes to mind is a chopped salad maker that was downright dangerous. A decent knife and some solid chopping skills were all I really needed. So here's my list of 10 kitchen items I consider essential to my home cooking and meal preparation activities. And yes, some of these items are pricy, but worth the quality and will last a lifetime with the proper care. I’ll start with my favorite all-purpose pan, my “desert island pan," if only allotted one cooking device: Le Creuset 26, 5.5 quarts, enameled, cast iron Dutch Oven with a lid. I have two of them, one red and the other blue. Besides being what I consider the most beautiful line of cookware available, one that you will want to

12-inch pan. Engineered in Germany, this is non-stick cooking at its best, free of all the nasty chemicals found in most nonstick pans. Fried eggs slide out of this pan along with any other foods prone to sticking. Mueller offers three sizes, but the 12-inch is the most versatile, and it’s only $49. I’ve found that this cookware company makes a whole range of quality kitchen products at affordable prices. A decent-quality pan set is also a key part of my kitchen mix, and the Cuisinart 11-piece Chef’s Classic Steel Collection is still going strong after several years. The assortment of saucepans, skillets, stockpots and more with an attractive stainless steel finish provides the functionality and looks I desire. And for $129, it’s another good value. OK, now that we have the essential cookware covered, I’m going to segue into some accessory items that I use with regularity.

They And as a bonus, they come in many shapes and have a store in the Carlsbad Premium Outlets where you can pay a bit less. They aren't cheap — expect to pay around $300, but again, this is a lifetime purchase and worth every penny. While some purists scoff at non-stick pans, I consider having one in my mix essential and was thrilled recently to learn of the Mueller Healthy Stone

I love making soups and found that using my Oster immersion blender is the best way to easily make a creamy version of broccoli, potato, carrot or any other healthy vegetable soup. Blenders can do the job but always seem to create a big mess, and a solid immersion device does it with ease. A decent one can be found for around $50 or less. Speaking of blenders, the most gadget-like device I have is my Nutribullet blender. I’ll take a blended smoothie over juicing any day and found it’s the perfect way to ensure a healthy dose of fruits and greens I might not include in my meals. (Side note: The Green Drink from Morning Star Ranch at the Leucadia Farmers Market has been the delicious and nutritious base of my smoothies for years.) The Nutribullet also functions as a solid multi-purpose blender and $50 or so will get you one. I am a huge fan of homemade French fries, fish and chips, and other deep-fried delights, so a modest-size deep fryer is in my collection. Peanut oil is best for high-heat frying, so keep some of that handy as well. And that is a perfect

segue to my next item, which is a mandoline slicer to cut those perfect fries and so much more. Mueller makes a nice five-blade slicer for $40, and you will find plenty of more uses for it. This may seem like an old-school choice, but I find myself using my Crock Pot on a regular basis, especially during the colder months. I love it for a chuck roast, chili, or any other low-and-slow dish you can start in the morning and have ready for dinner. Crock Pot is the trusted brand, and $40 will get you a seven-quart unit. My last essential kitchen item is a high-quality set of knives that includes all the desired sizes, along with a solid pair of shears. Henkels offers a premium-quality 15-piece set that will get you the nod of approval from most knife snobs and only set you back around $150. Of course, there are many other peripheral items one should include in a well-stocked kitchen; food storage comes to mind, but this mix will let most home cooks attain a high level of home kitchen proficiency in style. If I’m missing something you think should be included, I’d love to hear from you.

Feeding San Diego gets $150K Prebys awards grant for School Pantry Program By Staff

Besta-Wan Pizza’s longtime chef dies By Laura Place

ENCINITAS — Cardiff's iconic Besta-Wan Pizza House is mourning the sudden loss of beloved longtime chef Luis Lugo, whose culinary creations have been drawing in customers for almost two decades. Lugo, affectionately called Primo, has spent nearly 20 years throwing pies and crafting countless other dishes at the oldschool pizzeria through several changes in ownership. The announcement of his death last week came as a shock to his coworkers, some of whom had worked with him for several years. “It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Chef Primo,” the pizzeria said via Instagram on Dec. 29. “If you went to Besta Wan in the past twenty years, you may not have known it, but he was part of your experience.” Lugo, 59, resided in Oceanside and is survived by his wife and three children. While the cause of his unexpected passing has not been shared publicly, he was said to be active and in good health. His family has started a GoFundMe to help raise

money for funeral expenses. “Luis was a pillar of strength for our family, and his memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew him,” his family said on the GoFundMe page. Longtime Besta-Wan customers and former employees shared their sadness about Lugo's passing online, recalling his kindness and amazing service. Lugo’s daughter, Alondra, said on social media that Besta-Wan was her father’s “second home and family.” Eric Bauer, who took over Besta-Wan with his wife KC in mid-2023, said Lugo was a staple in the community, known for his kindness, hardworking nature and generosity. “He always had a smile on and really was the backbone of Besta-Wan, so it was shocking, to say the least,” Bauer said. “He was just a really nice, down-toearth, gentle person.” An in-person fundraiser will take place at Besta-Wan on Jan. 10, starting at 3 p.m. The restaurant will serve Lugo’s favorite pizza and beer to raise money to support his family, according to Bauer.

REGION — Feeding San Diego, the county’s leading hunger relief and food rescue organization, is one of 147 grant recipients awarded by the Prebys Foundation. The nonprofit has received a $150,000 grant to help fund its School Pantry Program, which operates in partnership with about 40 schools across the county – there is a waitlist of additional schools that would like to participate. Funds from this grant will go toward the operating cost of existing pantries. According to Feeding America, there are nearly 80,000 children facing hunger in San Diego County. The School Pantry Program alleviates childhood hunger by providing nutritious food to children, youth, and their families at no cost onsite at local schools, ensuring consistent, reliable access to healthy food on a dependable schedule at familiar locations. Typically held twice a month and run by school staff or parents, school pantries use spaces on campus such as auditoriums or parking lots to provide this resource. The program was recognized as part of Prebys’ four distinct program areas, falling under the area of “youth success.” The School Pantry Program is a longstanding program and is the non-profit’s largest hunger-relief program for children. Hunger negatively affects children’s physical and mental health, and causes of childhood hunger continue to exist in San Diego County. This includes low family incomes and lack of affordable housing. “Our team is energized by this recognition from

Prebys yet again and incredibly grateful to have been awarded a grant this year, particularly as inflation continues to impact both non-profits and the people we serve,” said Ali Colbran, director of development at Feeding San Diego. “Youth success could not be a more fitting way to describe the School Pantry Program. We know that access to nutritious food is vital to raising children to support their health, development, and well-being. The School Pantry Program helps thousands of families throughout San Diego County have the food they need.” Prebys is the largest independent private foundation in San Diego County and works to create an inclusive, equitable, and dynamic future for all San Diegans. This month, Prebys awarded $30.6 million in grants to advance the arts, support youth success, improve health outcomes, and reduce disparities in medical research across San Diego County.

Study: Blood offers clues on depression By City News Service

RELY ON the fact that life continues to change, and maybe you’ll see a light at the end of the tunnel. Stock photo

Which chapter of life are you in?

s the new year is upon us, instead of setting a goal for yourself, consider which chapter of life you are in. What kind of theme is it? I’m currently in a mom phase where I’m slowing down and learning all about acceptance, patience and the world from a child’s eyes. Some moments I’m impatient and wanting a different chapter to begin and then I’m reminded of the pure joy of the current moment. Sometimes we have to focus on what is versus where we are going. In today’s world, it is incredibly hard to slow down. But when you do, there are a

I remember that chapter and how fun it was. I also now see how much I didn’t know. Then I see other parents like me and give them a nod of solidarity that I totally get it and understand

whatever their kiddo is going through. When you’re in your current chapter you are often focused on what you’re in versus what is coming or what to expect. If you can rely on the fact that life continues to change, maybe you’ll see a light at the end of the tunnel. So for you, are you still in a student phase at college? Are you in a waiting phase? Are you trying to find your path? Are you raising teenagers? Tending to older parents or older yourself? With each chapter, there is an overarching theme to be considered and grasped, and then we

turn the page and move on through life. Know that you can count on the fact that things will change. No matter what you are coping with, you will move through it and look back on it with both positive and negative memories. I believe we can always find a silver lining if we look for it.

REGION — UC San Diego School of Medicine researchers have discovered a connection between cellular metabolism and depression, finding compounds in the blood of those with depression and suicidal thoughts, according to research published last month. The findings, published Dec. 15 in Translational Psychiatry, reveal that measuring those markers of cellular metabolism could be a vital approach to studying mental illnesses and developing new ways to diagnose, treat and prevent them. “Mental illnesses like depression have impacts and drivers well beyond the brain,” said Dr. Robert Naviaux, professor in the Department of Medicine, Pediatrics and Pathology at UCSD School of Medicine. “Prior to about 10 years ago, it was difficult to study how the chemistry of the whole body influences our behavior and state of mind, but modern technologies like metabolomics are helping us listen in on cells’ conversations in their native tongue, which is biochemistry.” Major depressive disorder affects 16.1 million adults in the United States and costs $210 billion annually, the researchers write. While the primary symptoms of depression are psychological, the study helps further the idea that depression is a complex disease with physical effects throughout the body. While many people with depression experience improvement with psychotherapy and medication, some people’s depression is treatment-refractory, meaning treatment has little to no impact, the authors write. Suicidal thoughts are experienced by the majority of patients with treatment-refractory depression, and as many as 30% will attempt suicide at least once. “We’re seeing a significant rise in midlife mortality in the United States, and increased suicide incidence is one of many things driving that trend,” Naviaux said. “Tools that could help

us stratify people based on their risk of becoming suicidal could help us save lives.” The researchers analyzed the blood of 99 study participants with treatment-refractory depression and suicidal ideation, as well as an equal number of healthy controls. Among the hundreds of different biochemicals circulating in the blood of these individuals, they found that five could be used as a biomarker to classify patients with treatment-refractory depression and suicidal ideation. However, which five could be used differed between men and women. “If we have 100 people who either don't have depression or who have depression and suicidal ideation, we would be able to correctly identify 85-90 of those at greatest risk based on five metabolites in males and another five metabolites in females,” Naviaux said. “This could be important in terms of diagnostics, but it also opens up a broader conversation in the field about what’s actually leading to these metabolic changes.” Because some of the metabolic deficiencies identified in the study were in compounds that are available as supplements, such as folate and carnitine, the researchers are interested in exploring the possibility of individualizing depression treatment with these compounds to help fill in the gaps in metabolism that are needed for recovery. However, Naviaux said these supplements are not cures. “If we can find ways to treat depression and suicidal ideation on a metabolic level, we may also help improve outcomes for the many diseases that lead to depression,” he said. “Many chronic illnesses, such as post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic fatigue syndrome, are not lethal themselves unless they lead to suicidal thoughts and actions. “If metabolomics can be used to identify the people at greatest risk, it could ultimately help us save more lives.”

Health benefits of massage therapy in 2 convenient locations In today's fast-paced world, where stress and tension have become commonplace, prioritizing self-care is crucial for maintaining overall well-being. One highly effective and enjoyable way to promote relaxation and health is through regular body massages. Massages offer a myriad of therapeutic benefits that contribute to both mental and physical wellness. Massage Concepts, now with two convenient locations in Solana Beach and Del Mar, has the right formula to meet your needs.

Enhanced Mental Well-being

In addition to its physical benefits, body massage has a profound impact on mental health. The serene atmosphere of a massage session coupled with the release of endorphins can alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. The act of self-care through regular massages fosters a positive mindset and helps individuals better manage the challenges of daily life.

Stress Reduction

One of the primary reasons people seek massages is to alleviate stress. The gentle manipulation of muscles during a massage stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural mood enhancers. Additionally, the calming environment of a spa or massage studio, combined with soothing touch, helps reduce cortisol levels – the hormone associated with stress. This dual effect promotes a sense of relaxation and tranquility, providing a much-needed respite from the demands of daily life. To this end, Massage Concepts features over 10 variations of massage to meet the needs of their customers.

Muscle Tension Relief

Whether caused by prolonged sitting, physical exertion, or poor posture, muscle tension is a common ailment. Massages target specific muscle groups, promoting improved blood circulation and the release of tension. Massage Concepts’ massage therapists use various techniques, such as kneading, rolling, and stretching, to ease tightness and restore flexibility. Regular massages can prevent chronic muscle tension, reducing the risk of injuries and improving overall mo-

bility.

Pain Management

For individuals dealing with chronic pain conditions, massages can offer significant relief. Conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and lower back pain benefit from the therapeutic touch of massage. The manipulation of soft tissues during a massage can reduce inflammation, enhance joint mobility, and alleviate pain symptoms. Integrating massages into a pain management plan can complement other treatments and

routine can lead to a multicontribute to an improved tude of benefits, both physical and mental. quality of life. At Massage Concepts,

A body massage's relaxing effects extend beyond the session itself, positively impacting sleep quality. The release of tension and the increase in serotonin levels promote a sense of calm conducive to restful sleep. Individuals struggling with insomnia or irregular sleep patterns may find that regular massages contribute to a more consistent and rejuvenating night's sleep.

Report: Medicare overpaying for generic drugs By City News Service

REGION — Researchers at UC San Diego and other institutions have found that private health insurers that sponsor Medicare Part D are artificially inflating the costs of certain generic drugs by overpaying pharmacies. According to the research, published in the Dec. 5 Journal of the American Medical Association, this inflation is one of the reasons costs of prescriptions can remain high. “For instance, if a patient pays 30% as a copayment for a drug, that 30% would be applied to the inflated price, which could

mean higher out-of-pocket costs for seniors,” said corresponding author Inmaculada Hernandez, professor at UCSD Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science. Medicare is the single largest provider of health insurance in the United States, serving 63.8 million senior citizens as of 2022. Of these, three-quarters are enrolled in optional Medicare Part D plans, which provide outpatient prescription drug coverage to seniors through private insurance companies. According to the report, in 2022, Medicare

paid more than $160 billion for prescription drugs, making it the single largest payer of pharmaceuticals in the nation. Generic over-reimbursement is one of the areas targeted for reform by the U.S. Senate, after anecdotal evidence submitted in 2023 by the nonprofit manufacturer CivicaRx raised concerns about Part D sponsors potentially over-reimbursing pharmacies for abiraterone, a cancer drug, a statement from UCSD read. Researchers at West Health and the University of Washington also contributed to the report.

Suspects arrested in pair of San Marcos stabbings By Laura Place

SAN MARCOS — The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department has identified the woman killed in a stabbing last week in San Marcos. Angela Marie Lanway, 42, was discovered with a stab wound on Dec. 26 in a shopping center in the 100 block of North Twin Oaks

Oops!

Matt Hightower of Overland Park, Kansas, was home alone with his three kids in mid-December 2020 when he switched on the oven in preparation for making dinner. Inside, unfortunately, were the family’s three Elves on the Shelf, who had been put there the night before to “warm up” after a day of being held captive in the refrigerator by the “bad milk,” KCTV reported. “Babe ... I cooked the elves,” Hightower confessed to his wife, Chelsea, who was out Christmas shopping. “Thankfully,” said Chelsea, after a frantic search around town, “Jingle, Belle and Magic have made a miraculous recovery and are back to their silly ways.” [KCTV, 12/14/2020] From 2008: The Christmas Nativity scenes in northeast Spain’s Catalonia region have, for three centuries, featured not only Mary and the Three Wise Men but the ubiquitous “caganer” icon, always portrayed with pants down answering a call of nature (and often so obscured in the scene as to popularize Where’s-Waldo-type guessing by children). The origin of the caganer (literally, “pooper”) is unclear, but some regard it merely as

Weird Christmas Tradition

Since 1966, the city of Gavle, Sweden, has erected a huge straw goat in its downtown square at Christmastime. The goats are pagan symbols that preceded Santa Claus as a bringer of gifts, the Associated Press reported. But in what has become an adjunct to the town’s tradition, the goats have been torched dozens of times during the past 55 years, including on Dec. 17, 2021. Police arrested a suspect in his 40s who had soot on his hands and matched a description from witnesses. [Associated Press, 12/17/2021]

Dec. 22 to the 1200 block of San Elijo Road, according to the Sheriff’s Department. They found a woman with stab wounds who told them she was stabbed by her daughter, department officials said in a statement. The mother was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening wounds.

With the help of air support, the suspect was found on a nearby hiking trail. Anzy McWha, daughter of the victim, was arrested for alleged assault and booked into the Vista Detention Facility.

system at the battery module level, as the third stage of a four-stage approach to prevent fires from occurring, propagating or spreading.” AES is also preparing fire protection and evacuation plans using emergency services and is working with the San Marcos Fire Protection District to prepare an emergency response plan in case of a safety incident. According to Guarniere, AES selected the current site because the proposed use is consistent with the existing zoning, meets basic design requirements and avoids impacts on sensitive resources. The utility company spent more than two years researching and evaluating potential project sites with the necessary size requirements close to the SDG&E Escondido Substation, which serves as the point of interconnection to the electric grid. “This process included evaluating the industrial parks in Escondido

and the vacant land near Stone Brewing,” Guarniere said. “None of the available properties met the requirements.” Joe Rowley, an Escondido resident and former power project developer who has also served as a consultant for identifying battery storage sites, was shocked when he learned about the proposed project and its location. “I thought, 'That can’t be right,'” Rowley said. “This location makes no sense to me.” According to Rowley, the surrounding land use compatibility is the most important aspect of a project like this, which is why the project’s location is a problem given its proximity to nearby homes. “To me, it’s appalling,” Rowley said. The county has since begun the process of preparing a full environmental impact report for the project, which will include technical studies that address

Theberge said the county needs to have specific battery storage regulations in place before allowing the project. “There’s no ordinance for lithium-ion battery storage facilities,” Theberge said. According to AES representatives, the project will provide a reliable and cost-effective power source to support the local electric grid. It also intends to help San Diego County meet its decarbonization goals and the state’s 100% carbon-free energy goals by 2045. In terms of fire safety, Lead Project Developer Max Guarniere said the battery management system, equipped with 24-hour monitoring, detects and isolates a fire in containers by blocking it from the electrical power, closing off ventilation and dowsing the fire. The battery containers would also be spread out

In response to the concerns regarding Palomar Medical Center, Guarniere said the hospital is more than 1,600 feet from the eastern perimeter of the proposed battery storage facility and noted that another battery storage system and gas-fired power plant are already operating with-

in a similar distance to the hospital. “The Seguro facility’s design will meet the latest safety and design standards to ensure that, in the unlikely event of a fire, the hospital will be able to continue operating,” Guarniere said. “The facility will be equipped with robust monitoring and safety systems, including a fire suppression

Police Report

When 5-year-old TyLon Pittman of Byram, Mississippi, saw the Grinch stealing Christmas on Dec. 16, 2017, on TV, he did what any civic-minded citizen would do. He called 911. TyLon told Byram police officer Lauren Develle, who answered the call, that he did not want the Grinch to come steal his Christmas, reported the Clarion Ledger. Develle made TyLon an honorary junior officer and had him come down to the station on Dec. 18 to help her lock away the Grinch, who hung his head as TyLon asked him, “Why are you stealing Christmas?” Although the green fiend apologized, TyLon wouldn’t release him from the holding cell.

In fact, one pre-Christmas meal included octopus, as well as day-old bread from Le Bernardin restaurant. Ennes told London’s Independent that he is motivated by the chance to help troubled people get “real nutrition,” but that he also likes serving “famous” homeless people, such as diners who claim to be, among others, George Bush, George Washington and Jesus Christ.

The project must earn final approval for its major use permit from the San Diego County Planning Commission. Guarniere said AES will continue to support county staff, expects to begin construction in early 2025 after obtaining all the necessary permits, and plans to hold a series of workshops focusing on specific topics like fire safety. "We want to emphasize that there will be many opportunities for the community to ask questions, provide comments, and learn more before any final decisions on the proposed project are made,” Guarniere said. “We expect to host the first workshop early in 2024 and will share more information with the community once we have confirmed dates and locations for these workshops.”

at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in 2012. However, the show was canceled after just a handful of performances, leaving vendors, employees and creditors unpaid. The two have been married since 2011, but have filed for divorce and reconciled multiple times over the years. Tatyana Remley most recently filed for divorce in July, requesting $15,000 in monthly spousal support. She also claimed in court filings that she was not safe around her husband, and that he had previously held a gun to her head and chased her around their home with a knife. Mark Remley told The Coast News these claims were fabricated. Law enforcement is also investigating a fire that destroyed the couple’s former shared home on Rancho Reposo in Del Mar in early July. Mark Remley alleged to The Coast News that his wife intentionally set the house ablaze. The Sheriff’s Department has not confirmed the cause of the fire, but said Tayana Remley was at the house with several firearms and ammunition on the day of the incident. In divorce filings prior to her arrest, Remley said she did not know how the house had burnt down, but requested that the court grant her sole use of the property. Both Tatyana and Mark Remley are known for their infamous production of Valitar. This failed multimillion-dollar acrobatic equestrian show was set for a 45-day run at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in 2012 but was canceled after just a few performances. Dozens of performers and vendors were

left high and dry as a result. Remley and her husband have been married since 2011, with court documents indicating an unstable and sometimes violent relationship. The pair most recently separated in May, according to court documents, with Tatyana filing for divorce in July. She has claimed that her husband verbally and physically abused her, stole and destroyed her property and cut her off financially. In a July petition, Remley alleged that her husband had been physically abusive toward her and caused her to fear for her life. She also asked the court to order Mark Remley to pay spousal support and grant her exclusive use of their shared home in Del Mar. Prior to this, Tatyana said the pair enjoyed a lavish lifestyle where she would spend upwards of $50,000 per month. She said she had unlimited access to credit cards and that Mark Remley owned luxury properties in Hawaii, Rancho Santa Fe and Coronado in addition to the Del Mar home. In the July petition, Tatyana said she has no income since separating from Mark and asked the court

to order him to pay $15,000 in monthly spousal support. She also requested to be granted exclusive use of the couple’s Del Mar home, two trucks, a horse trailer, an ATV and various pets, including parrots and goats. “Wife is experiencing extreme financial strain. She is unable to maintain her realistic monthly expenses of just $12,000, much less [than] what she was accustomed to at $50,000. She has no income and does not have the same access to funds and assets that Respondent does,” Tatyana’s attorney Tiffany Brown said in a July divorce filing. The filing also alleged that Mark Remley once put a gun to Tayana’s head in front of an employee and another time chased her around their home with a knife. She also claimed to have been sexually assaulted at gunpoint by one of her husband’s friends in May while he was present. In another petition for divorce from 2015, Tatyana Remley claimed that after the failure of Valitar in November of 2012, Mark Remley “had a meltdown that led him to discharge his firearms inside our Rancho Santa Fe home.”

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.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 246,180.70. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the

undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE 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 this 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site https://www. altisource.com/loginpage. aspx using the file number assigned to this case 202300765-CA. 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. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction, if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (877)-518-5700, or visit this internet website https://www. realtybid.com/, using the file number assigned to this case 2023-00765-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should

consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

The Petition for Probate requests that James Teran Moore be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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 MS Teams video conference links and phone numbers can be found at www.sdcourt.ca.gov/ ProbateHearings. Plan to check in 15 minutes prior to the scheduled hearing time.

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.

STARTING JAN. 30, nature lovers will have the opportunity to explore local tide pools with naturalists from Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. During the 90-minute outing, guests will discover incredible animals that live in the rocky areas near the shore that are exposed during low tide. Courtesy photo

Travel mistakes, cruise tips and tide pools hit the road e’louise ondash

took my first airplane flight at age 4. (Let’s just say it was sometime in the last millennium.) My parents and three siblings (later 11 siblings) were relocating from Florida to New York, and airplane travel to anywhere then was a big deal. And a simple deal. Prospective travelers had only to visit a travel agent who’d booked the flight. At the airport, passengers simply checked in, walked across the tarmac, climbed the stairway to the door of the airplane (no en-

closed jetway), waved goodbye to whoever was left behind, and entered the belly of the plane. Today? So much more complicated, so many more hoops, and so many mistakes to be made — all of which slow and aggravate the process of getting from here to there. According to a survey conducted by USA Today, travelers from North Carolina, West Virginia and Arkansas commit the most faux pas and win the prize for the “least efficient” travelers in the country. Their trespasses? They forget to take off shoes and belts in the security line; attempt to go through scanners with phones, jewelry and keys, and forget to remove laptops and tablets from carry-on luggage. Also, four in 10 travel-

ers are guilty of overstuffing their luggage and sucking up time struggling to jam those carry-ons into overhead bins. (New Yorkers are the worst.) Residents in Connecticut, Oklahoma or Oregon can stop patting themselves on the back for not doing any of the above because they are most likely to get stopped for carrying liquids greater than 3 ounces and/ or having too many containers to fit into that quart bag. The USA Today survey researched many more issues around air travel, but the one I found most distressing? Nearly six out of 10 airline passengers now have TSA PreCheck, which lets passengers cruise through the security line. We early adopters aren’t so special anymore. Perhaps 2024 will be

the year of your first cruise. Need advice from a veteran? Check out Cruise Mummy, an award-winning blog on the industry and consumer advice. Here are a few Mummy tips: • When booking, use a travel agent who may have special offers, or if booking online, use a comparison tool to check prices. • The best deals are available when itineraries are first released for booking or 12 weeks before the cruise sets sail when prices drop to fill the remaining cabins. • Booking an inside cabin can save lots of money that can be used for onshore excursions. • The price of children’s tickets can vary greatly. Do your research. You could save hundreds. • Check policies regarding bringing alcohol on board. Buying alcoholic

drinks can add up quickly. • Using a cell phone while aboard can be expensive. If you must, check out the ship’s Wi-Fi package, which allows calling and texting via WhatsApp and Skype. To avoid the high price of roaming, turn off your phone or place it in airplane mode. If all of the above is too much to consider, here are a few close-to-home destinations and activities: • Tide-pooling adventures resume Jan. 20 at Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla. The 90-minute outing with an expert guide helps participants discover some of the animals that live in the rocky area along the coast that is exposed during low tide. Think snails, mussels, urchins, sea stars, small fish and octopus. • In mid-December,

passengers on Oceanside Adventures’ whale-watching expedition had the rare privilege of seeing a pod of orcas (killer whales) off the coast of Oceanside. Also known as ETPs (Eastern Tropical Pacifics), these orcas were traveling south, returning to the waters off the coast of Mexico. Even though sightings of orcas are an anomaly, there is plenty of other sea life to see on OA’s cruises. Between now and the end of March, it’s high season for migrating gray whales, and cruises nearly always come across dozens to hundreds of dolphins playing in the boat’s wake or racing alongside.

Old lighthouse closing for repairs By City News Service

SAN DIEGO — The Old Point Loma Lighthouse at Cabrillo National Monument will be closed 10 days this month for restoration work, officials announced. Renovations will take place Jan. 8-18. Interior restoration, which will include painting and other minor repairs are aimed at protecting the masonry walls from the damp, coastal environment, according to park service officials. “This restoration effort is part of our commitment to preserving our national treasures, and we appreciate the public’s understanding and cooperation during this brief closure,” said Visitor Services Program Manager Amanda Gossard. Although the lighthouse will be under construction, Cabrillo National Monument will be open to the public during the project. Visitors can still explore other features of the park including views of San Diego, the coastline, tide pools, hiking trails and educational exhibits. “We understand the importance of the lighthouse as a symbol of San Diego’s past and rich maritime history, Gossard added. The National Park Service’s Historic Preservation Crew will be handling the restoration project. Constructed in 1855, the Old Point Loma Lighthouse is an icon of local history, and gives visitors a glimpse into the life of a

To encourage water conservation, the Olivenhain Municipal Water District, San Dieguito Water District and Santa Fe Irrigation District have partnered to offer discounted rain barrels to area residents. Fifty-gallon barrels are on sale for $97, with a final

cost of $62 after a $35 rebate from water wholesaler Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. Rain barrels ordered from Jan. 1 to Feb. 29 will be available for pick up at the Solana Center for Environmental Innovation located at 137 North El Camino Real in Encinitas. Collecting rainwater for future use not only can save drinking water, but also reduces irrigation runoff that can carry pollutants into local waterways and beaches. Although San Diego County’s average rainfall is roughly 10 inches annually, the development of El Niño conditions may bring more rain this winter season. The

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts a 95% chance of El Niño conditions through February, however, the severity of the event is still unknown. Even light rain events can provide a sufficient amount of water for later use. For example, a roof with a 2,000-square foot surface area can capture 300 gallons from only a quarter inch of rain. Visit www.olivenhain. com/events to order rain barrels, and www.socalwatersmart.com to apply for the rebate on rain barrels or other water-saving devices.

at the Beach Safety Center at 1700 Coast Blvd. from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday. Another Coastal Commission condition requires the city to remove 114 paid parking spaces along Via de la Valle and convert them into free spaces. Edelbrock

said change is beneficial for the city, as the cost to maintain the meters on Via de la Valle exceeds the revenue they bring in. Del Mar’s annual revenue from paid parking, anticipated to total $1.35 million in this fiscal year, goes to multiple sources,

including lifeguard operations, code enforcement, trash services, cleaning at city beaches and parks, and various city capital projects. The city will also be required to submit annual paid parking reports to the commission.

ing every week in Oceanside. Many of these cases involve runaway cases like Rudy and a lot of those children eventually return home within a few weeks, according to McKean. Rudy’s family has also

received some alarming texts from anonymous contacts pretending to know where he is and that his life is in danger. McKean said this often happens after families attempt to spread the word on social media. As the search for Rudy continues, his family has started holding candlelight vigils every Saturday by the Oceanside Pier from 8:30 to 8:45 p.m., the time that symbolizes the length of his Uber ride on the night he

disappeared. The family has started a Facebook page called Bring Rudy Home, where they post updates and informational posters to help find Rudy. They have also reached out to the FBI and the Center for Missing and Exploited Children about Rudy’s disappearance. If you have any information related to Rudy's whereabouts, please contact Oceanside Police at (760) 435-4900.

years, when the city, upon incorporation in 1986, inherited the county’s original infrastructure along Coast Highway 101. According to residents and city officials, further developments in the early 2000s compounded the issue, including an ill-conceived 24-inch nuisance drain as part of the Leucadia Storm Drain Project. The drainage pipe was intended to manage Leucadia’s small ponding areas west of Coast Highway. The city later connected this system to water sources beyond its intended capacity, overloading the drain and aggravating the flooding problem. In 2012, a San Diego County Grand Jury released a report stating Leucadia’s 24-inch pipe was too small to meet the city’s drainage needs. Another bone of contention is the city’s alleged mismanagement of the sluice-gate valve, which was installed as part of the Leucadia Storm Drain Project. Since its construction, the city has left the valve slightly open to avoid potential flooding of the Vulcan-Union intersection and nearby mobile home community. However, the city engineer who designed the Leucadia Storm Drain Project said the sluice gate was explicitly designed to be kept closed to keep Leucadia’s inlets from being overwhelmed during a major storm event. Lastly, the city's handling of flooding at Leucadia Roadside Park involves pumping excess stormwater through an 8-inch elevated pipe over a bluff at Beacon’s Beach, drawing criticism from activists and city leaders over its limited effectiveness and potential environmental

risks. Previously, the city has argued that diverting untreated stormwater over the bluff falls within the same natural watershed, eliminating the need for additional monitoring or treatment. The city has recently taken steps to address Leucadia’s drainage infrastructure problems, at least partially. Earlier this year, the Encinitas City Council awarded construction contracts for projects in Segment C, the final phase of Leucadia Streetscape, hoping to bring upgrades to the city’s roadways and stormwater infrastructure. In January, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded the city $4 million to install 1.5 miles of new stormwater mainline underneath the highway to help reduce the intensity and frequency of flooding in northern Leucadia. The grant will only cover a portion of the storm drain pipe along the 2.5-mile stretch of road. The proposed drainage work includes installing a series of reinforced concrete storm drain pipes underneath the highway for additional storage capacity, catch basins and curb inlets along the roadway and at Leucadia Roadside Park, and “green street” or biofiltration elements to help filter stormwater runoff and improve water quality, according to city documents. The City Council opted to finish the aboveground Leucadia Streetscape work before completing the subsurface drainage and stormwater improvements, which include the installation of several underground pipes and could require tearing up newly paved areas at a significantly higher cost down the road.
