Bluff stability ongoing

Del Mar starts next phase of $78M project

tion project in Del Mar later in March with the goal of protecting the coastal train tracks, improving drainage and preventing bluff failures over the coming decades.

The project, expected to begin March 21, is the fifth of six phases intended to stabilize the bluff through at least 2050. This phase will target a 1.6-mile stretch from Coast Avenue to Torrey Pines State Park, adding around 2,000 feet of seawalls, soldier piles, and tieback anchors to stabilize the track bed and drainage improvements along the bluff.

SANDAG Principal Engineer Allie DeVaux said crews will work on different elements of the project both on the blufftop and down on the beach. They are planning to begin with the construction of some of the seawalls, which run along the toe of the bluff.

Crews will use the Torrey Pines State Beach parking lot and 18th Street lot in Del Mar as beach access areas during the project, according to DeVaux.

“You will see equipment coming through from both these areas and traversing down the beach to get to those areas they need, to construct the seawalls, to construct the drainage outlets, and many of these things,” DeVaux told the Del Mar City Council on March 4.

Interfaith denies alleged violations

Police report daily reoccurring ‘crime, disorder’

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO —

Interfaith Community Services is denying allegations from the police chief that it is violating its conditional use permit, the legal document that allows the homeless service organization to operate its shelter beds and services in the city.

Escondido Police Chief Ed Varso sent a letter dated Feb. 26 addressed to Interfaith CEO Greg Anglea that listed several alleged violations of the conditional use permit (CUP), a document that grants exceptions to the local zoning ordinance allowing the property owner to use the property in non-conforming ways.

According to Varso, the police department’s Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (COPPS) Unit began monitoring Interfaith’s 550 W. Washington Ave. headquarters after noticing the property ranked among the top 10 locations for calls for service in the city.

“My officers noted daily, recurring signs of crime and disorder associated with your business, along with repeated violations of your conditional use permit,” Varso wrote.

A statement from Logan Goverman, marketing and advocacy strategist for

Interfaith, said the claims were unsubstantiated.

Varso’s alleged violations include the presence of trash, litter or other solid waste, shopping carts, food containers, suitcases, bags, bicycles, and other similar items outside the building in public view or on adjacent public rights-of-ways, as prohibited by the permit.

Anglea disputed each of Varso’s claims, noting that Interfaith site security staff complete hourly patrols of the exterior of its property 24/7 and maintain a “clean and professional environment inside and outside” of the headquarters.

Varso also cited loitering outside of the building and increased calls for service in the area as violations of the CUP. The police chief said that calls have steadily increased over the last several months.

Anglea noted that Varso only used data between 2017 and 2019, which he said contradicts more recent data from the police department showing no significant increases in calls between 2021 and 2023.

Varso also alleged that Interfaith did not respond adequately to requests for information regarding its services.

The permit states that the police department's referrals should receive the highest priority. Varso pointed out that Interfaith had not housed a family with four small children

More sand heads to Encinitas

Phase begins as Solana Beach work wraps up

By Laura Place REGION —

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has completed a twomonth sand restoration project in Solana Beach and is now beginning the next phase of work in Encinitas.

Over the next 60 days, the Army Corps will bulk up the Encinitas shoreline from north of Swami’s Beach to south of Beacon’s Beach with an additional 340,000 cubic yards of sand.

Work in Solana Beach wrapped up last week. The shoreline nearly tripled in width following the placement of 700,000 cubic yards of sand from Tide Beach Park to the city’s southern limits.

The sand placement in both cities is part of the USACE Coastal Storm Damage Reduction and Beach Replenishment Project, which aims to offset coastal erosion and add more usable beach space.

The 50-year project also provides scheduled sand renourishment every 10 years.

“The project finished ahead of schedule and the city would like to thank the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Manson Construction for the impressive work and beautiful new, wide beaches for everyone to enjoy,” the city of Solana Beach said in a March 7 statement. “We are very excited to have increased recreational opportunities as well as the protection of the bluffs and increased public safety as a result of

this project.” Visitors to Solana Beach have also been pleased with the growth of the beach.

“It’s so much bigger than it used to be,” said Anna Marie Mohler of Cardiff, who frequently walks along the beach to Fletch-

stalled a pipeline near D Street that will be used to dredge sand.

According to Todd Mierau, Encinitas Coastal Zone Program Administrator, crews expect to begin pumping sand early Tuesday afternoon.

“The project will widen the beach by 50 feet for about a mile-and-a-half,” Mierau said.

According to Mierau, residents can expect much of the cobble rock prevalent along Moonlight State Beach and other areas to be covered with sand.

“The sediment fill will cover most of the cobble rock on the beach. The fill reach has an elevation of 13 to 15 feet above the mean sea level. Cobble rock above this height may still be exposed,” Mierau said.

Access to the beach via D Street will be temporarily closed during the project, as the staircase leads directly into the construction area. For the next 60 days, beachgoers are asked to utilize Moonlight Beach or other access points.

The project's sediment is dredged offshore from a borrow site at the San Dieguito River mouth — the same site used for the Solana Beach phase — and pumped onto the beach as a slurry mix of seawater and sand.

In Encinitas, crews have set up a fenced-off construction area at Moonlight State Beach for storing equipment, piping, and other construction materials. Crews have also in-

Work in Encinitas was briefly at risk of being delayed to resume an abandoned sand replenishment project in San Clemente; however, the Army Corps opted to maintain the originally planned schedule and move on to the Encinitas phase after completing work in Solana Beach.

Change and results

By Terra Lawson-Remer

Over the last three years as the Supervisor representing District 3, those are the things my office has been doing to create a more healthy, sustainable, equitable, inclusive, and livable San Diego County. We’ve compiled a comprehensive report on our progress.

One example in the report is our work to preserve San Diego County’s beautiful coastlines. These iconic locations are part of what makes our district such a special place. Keeping our beaches clean starts with keeping pollution out of the water.

Since my first year on the Board of Supervisors, I have moved more than $200 million to be invested in stormwater infrastructure improvements, and nearly 19,000 beach water samples have been tested for ocean pollution.

I’ve also advocated for the state and federal government to increase funding to support and resolve the Tijuana Sewage Emergency Environmental Crisis. This has been an ongoing battle since I was a kid, but we’re making headway, and I won’t stop fighting.

Another challenge I’ve been working on is the homelessness crisis and the growing need for mental

health and addiction treatment. Three years ago the county had no shelter beds or safe parking areas for those experiencing homelessness, and now we have nearly 900. With the passage of the Senior Shallow Rent Subsidy Program I championed, nearly 400 seniors at risk of becoming homeless have kept their homes.

The demand for this program was very high, so we are working to grow it and are partnering with MIT to ensure the funds are being spent wisely.

As a result of our efforts, the county has helped move 165% more people off of our streets and into shelters and housing.

Since 2021, we have approved significant funding increases that have increased the number of full-time County Behavioral Health employees by 77% and activated 37 Mobile Crisis Response Teams that address urgent behavioral health cases in the community. This means more of our neighbors in District 3 and countywide are getting the treatment they need by calling our new hotline at 9-8-8.

In my district, from Carlsbad to Coronado, we have one of the highest, if not the highest unmet demands for in-home support services (IHSS) for our seniors who

are aging in place and need help. A friend of mine’s father-in-law has cancer and lives alone, and she needed help caring for him. I told her about the United Domestic Workers who provide in-home care and now he’s getting the support he needs.

In just three years, 19% more seniors are now receiving IHSS than the three years before I entered office, and we’ve decreased wait times for people contacting our Aging Independence Service Call Center by 51%.

One of the things I love most about San Diego is our shared values. Together — in the face of Roe v. Wade being overturned — we have fought to ensure reproductive rights and access to reproductive healthcare and abortion care, are protected here in California. We have uplifted our LGBTQ+ community. We have pushed back against antisemitic rhetoric, xenophobia, and hate crimes. We have created new employment opportunities for veterans and neurodivergent individuals. And we have fought for better wages, benefits, and labor standards for workers.

Terra Lawson-Remer represents District 3 on the Board of Supervisors.

Letters to the Editor

City is dropping the dam ball

Dear Editor,

The city of San Diego’s recent release of more than 600 million gallons of water from Lake Hodges into the ocean was avoidable with proper dam maintenance.

For years, the communities of Rancho Santa Fe, Leucadia and Cardiff by the Sea have enjoyed the lower cost of imported water due to the existence of Hodges Reservoir, which is owned by the city of San Diego.

San Dieguito Water District and Santa Fe Irrigation,

pay the city for water rights and dam maintenance.

However, since the city of San Diego failed to do its job for decades, we all suffer. I know there are disclosure laws which allow us to see the maintenance records, or lack thereof, so can we see them? Why is this not talked about?

I just received a notice from the San Dieguito Water District with proposed water rate increases for the next three years. The No. 1 reason for the rate hike? You guessed

Can Prop 1 really fix homelessness?

The possible passage of Proposition 1 raises one very basic question: Could it help solve homelessness or merely be another financial boondoggle helping a few but leaving the crisis in the streets essentially unsolved?

First, there is no doubt this measure can help some of California’s approximately 180,000 unhoused. Its $6.4 billion cost will provide more than 11,000 new treatment beds for people with serious mental and emotional problems, reinforce the treatment they can already get in some counties through the relatively new and unproven Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) court system and possibly reduce some of the homelessness now so visible on streets and parks all around California.

But some informed estimates held during this winter’s campaign that it could not solve more than 2% of the problem.

Which raises an obvious question: If this estimate is correct, is that enough of an improvement to justify the $310 million the state’s general fund will likely pay in each of the next 30 years to repay the bonds?

The money would be added onto the $10 billion to $13 billion now distributed each year to counties for mental health care and drug and alcohol treatment. Roughly one-third of that money comes from a tax on those with $1 million-plus incomes that’s been levied for this purpose since 2005.

That tax would continue under Prop. 1, so there will be no substitution of bond money for tax funds, and the new money should strictly be an add-on.

With about 70% of Californians listing homelessness as California’s biggest unsolved problem, there was plenty of reason to vote for this proposition, but its fate was still uncertain after Election Day.

tom elias

For one measure, there’s $217 million just spent by the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District on adding steel netting to prevent suicides by jumping from that landmark span.

Californians who voted for this measure were probably correct to do it, even if it couldn’t by itself solve homelessness or mental health crises. Every dent in the problem represents improvement in the quality of life for many who have been unhoused.

Part of the background of Prop. 1 was the realization that one in every 20 California adults now lives with serious mental illness and the more treatment beds available, the more likely some progress can be made treating those who need help.

At the same time, one in 13 California children of school age suffers serious emotional disturbance and one in 10 Californians has some sort of substance abuse disorder.

One little publicized part of Prop. 1 speaks to this last issue, allowing a small percentage of current mental health spending to be used against substance abuse.

Since substance abuse from alcoholism to opioid dependence can lead straight into to mental illness, this might help with both mental illness and drug dependency.

It all amounts to a measure of how Californians are still paying for the single biggest error made by Ronald Reagan, who as governor in the 1960s and ’70s engineered the closing of most of this state’s mental hospitals, which were never replaced.

it: the loss of local water from Lake Hodges Dam.

I heard they ran the water level down to do repairs to the failing structure, dumping the water into the ocean.

I understand oversight or lack of focus, but is there no honor or accountability in the government of water, probably one of our most precious resources besides oxygen?

Answer: NO.

John Smith Encinitas

But the new bond’s proceeds might seem like a drop in the bucket considering that about 47% of today’s homeless are afflicted with mental or emotional illness, with another 150,000 others in similar difficulty now housed in prisons at a cost of about $130,000 per year.

Some experts said during the Prop. 1 campaign that the urgency of the problem makes every dollar coming in constructive. But maybe not, if that gives voters the sense they’ve just done something important, causing them to become frustrated with government when they see the bonds solving only a bit of the crisis.

For sure, the mental illness problem is severe.

Reagan planned to set up smaller halfway houses to replace those institutions, letting recovering mental illness patients ease back into society while still getting treatment. Those homes never materialized, and homelessness has proliferated steadily ever since.

If Prop. 1, combined with CARE courts, can solve even a small percentage of today’s problems, it would be a positive.

But if it’s too little and doesn’t accomplish much, then — if it narrowly passes — it will go down as a waste of public money.

The proof, as usual, would be in the performance.

Sheriff’s fourth in-custody death investigated Man

arrested in Cardiff who died in custody

ID’d

By Laura Place

VISTA — Community members are pushing for more details after a man died while in the custody of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department earlier this month — the fourth in-custody death to occur this year.

The individual, confirmed Tuesday to be 29-year-old Abdul Kamara, was reportedly taken into San Diego County Sheriff’s custody just before midnight on March 2 in Cardiff by the Sea.

Kamara died just hours later, at 4 a.m., before he could be booked into the Vista Detention Center after being placed in a WRAP restraint and experiencing a medical emergency, according to law enforcement.

The San Diego Police Department announced on March 3 that its homicide unit will investigate the death, along with the Citizens Law Enforcement Review Board (CLERB), as required under a countywide Memorandum of Understanding.

In response to the news, members of the North County Equity and Justice Coalition rallied outside of the Vista Detention Center on March 7 to demand transparency about how the

Sheriff’s Department handled the situation.

“This person barely even made it to the station when they lost their life,” said Yusef Miller, executive director of the North County Equity and Justice Coalition. “We want to know, if all the proper procedures had been followed, would this person still be with us today? Would their loved ones still have this person? We don’t know exactly what happened, but the community and the families want transparency.”

Miller and others said they specifically wanted to know whether this situation was treated as a potential mental health crisis and why

a mental health professional was not called to assist in responding.

Sheriff’s officials contacted Kamara on March 2 after receiving reports about a suspicious person in the 800 block of Birmingham Drive in the Cardiff neighborhood of Encinitas, according to the San Diego Police Department. The reporting party said he was not wearing a shirt or shoes and was crawling around a parking lot.

Upon their arrival, deputies Alejandro Aguilera and Tyler Phillips placed him under arrest on suspicion of being under the influence of a controlled substance. He was transported

to the Vista Detention Center, and before being booked into jail, he began throwing himself against the interior of the patrol car, injuring his face and moving the handcuffs to the front of his body, SDPD said.

Deputies contacted paramedics and moved Kamara outside of the car onto a bench, where he soon began kicking and flailing. At this time, deputies called for additional assistance and placed him into a WRAP restraint device, according to SDPD.

Kamara began experiencing a medical emergency after paramedics arrived, losing consciousness and ceasing to breathe. Despite

paramedics performing lifesaving measures and transferring him to a hospital, he did not survive.

The officers who took part in efforts to get Kamara under control at the jail were identified Tuesday as deputies Carlos Heard, Derrick Jones and Travis Kaapke, and Cpl. Christopher Aberle.

Earlier that same day, Kamara had been along Carlsbad Village Drive and asked someone to call an ambulance for him. Paramedics arrived and took him to Scripps Memorial Hospital in Encinitas for an evaluation, according to SDPD Lt. Judd Campbell.

However, a short time later, hospital staff informed the Sheriff’s Department that Kamara had left the hospital without being released. Campbell said deputies were unable to find him at that time.

This marks the second death of someone in San Diego County Sheriff’s custody after being put into a WRAP device. Intended to protect law enforcement and maintain the person’s ability to breathe, the WRAP binds the legs and ankles and connects to a harness over the torso, keeping the person in an upright seated position with their legs out in front of them and their hands behind their back.

In 2018, 40-year-old Earl McNeil also ceased breathing after being placed in a WRAP by police officers in National City, dying

two weeks later in a hospital. National City settled with McNeil’s family for $300,000 in 2021, and the District Attorney’s office declined to file any charges against officers.

McNeil’s demise drew community scrutiny over the use of the restraining device, and these concerns are echoing once again in the wake of Kamara’s death.

“The Earl McNeil case is eerily similar to this case that happened on Sunday,” Miller said at the March 7 rally.

For community members with loved ones in custody, the most recent incident is a reminder that they may not be safe in local jails.

Paloma Serna, whose daughter Elisa Serna died in San Diego County jail in 2019, also spoke at the rally in demand of transparency.

“It could be anyone’s loved one. Drugs and alcohol do not discriminate. We’re asking for accountability,” Paloma Serna said.

It has not been confirmed whether Kamara was under the influence of substances.

SDPD will share its investigation findings with the DA’s office, which will decide whether to charge any of the officers involved. CLERB will also form recommendations after reviewing the incident, which San Diego County Sheriff Kelly Martinez is not required to adopt.

CLERB did not respond to a request for comment.

Biyclist, hit by two cars, dies

By City News Service

VISTA — A bicyclist was killed after being struck by two vehicles, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said last week.

At 10:28 p.m. March

7, deputies responded to a collision between two vehicles and a bicyclist on South Melrose Drive at Buena Vista Drive, sheriff’s Sgt. Eric Cottrell said.

The first motorist bumped into the bicyclist, remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation, Cottrell said.

A second motorist struck the bicyclist and left the scene, the sergeant said. The second motorist was believed to have been driving a white crossover or SUV.

The bicyclist was pronounced dead at the scene, Cottrell said. The Sheriff’s Department is seeking the public’s help in locating the vehicle that left the scene.

Anyone with information was asked to call Crime Stoppers at 888580-8477. Up to a $1,000 reward was being offered for information that leads to an arrest.

Man gets 18 years; hit O’side officer with car

A man who was twice convicted of attempted murder for intentionally striking an Oceanside motorcycle officer with a car was sentenced this week to 18 years in state prison.

Roberto Ignacio Flores, 32, was convicted by two North County juries for driving a Dodge Neon into Oceanside Police Officer Brad Hunter on June 19, 2017.

Hunter was struck after pulling over a driver for an expired registration near Oceanside Boulevard and Foussat Road.

Rail service resumes through San Clemente

But OCTA says more locations at risk of collapse

By Laura Place

OCEANSIDE — Passenger rail service on the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner train between San Diego and Orange counties was officially restored on March 6, after six weeks of closure caused by a landslide above the tracks in San Clemente.

The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) announced the day before that substantial progress had been made on the retaining wall at the base of the slope above the tracks, since beginning construction in late February, allowing limited service to resume between Oceanside and San Juan Capistrano.

This was the fifth rail closure in the past three years in San Clemente along the 351-mile LOSSAN (Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo) rail corridor.

“With all 33 steel beams for the foundation of the wall in place and Amtrak conduct-

ing its own risk analysis, the OCTA, Metrolink and LOSSAN team have agreed that limited Pacific Surfliner service can safely resume to and from San Diego through San Clemente,” OCTA said.

Once completed, the retaining wall (also known as a catchment wall) will stand between 10 and 15 feet above ground and stretch 200 feet along the tracks. A similar wall was built last summer along

a different section of the tracks in San Clemente, beneath Casa Romantica, after a separate landslide closed the rail.

Crews also removed a section of the Mariposa Point Pedestrian Bridge that ran along the tracks where the landslide occurred.

While an end to the previously-indefinite rail closure is good news, of-

A new consulting firm is taking over construction management services for the city’s Lake Wohlford Dam Replacement Project.

The Escondido City Council unanimously approved hiring GEI Consultants, Inc. for $12.9 million to continue construction management services for replacing the 129-year-old dam.

Lake Wohlford Dam was first constructed with earth and rock in 1895 to a height of 76 feet. About 30 years later, the dam was raised to 100 feet using a slurry hydraulic fill process.

In 2007, during a routine seismic evaluation of the dam, the California Division of Safety of Dams determined that the hydraulic fill section could liquefy and fail in the event of a greater than 7.5-magnitude earthquake along the Elsinore Fault.

In response, the city lowered the water level of Lake Wohlford to prevent surpassing the original dam height of 76 feet.

The proposed new dam, which would be constructed downstream of the existing dam, would restore the lake to pre-2007 levels.

The dam replacement project will be paid for by a California Proposition 1E Grant, a pending U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (“WIFIA”) loan, and the Water Enterprise Fund.

Angela Morrow, the city's director of utilities, said the current construction estimate for the dam replacement project is approximately $88.5 million.

The dam construction presents a complex undertaking due to various factors, including limited accessibility and workspace owing to the rugged, hilly terrain; the presence of environmentally and culturally sensitive habitats; and operating a concrete batch plant and heavy earthwork equipment on-site.

The project will also have extended working hours during the placement of the roller-compacted concrete dam, which requires crews to install it continuously, 24/7.

In 2012, the city entered into a $2.5 million consulting agreement with RBF Consulting, Inc. to

3579 to schedule an initial interview.

provide construction management services for the project. Early on, it was determined that Oakvale Road needed to be realigned to make room for the new dam.

Michael Baker International (MBI) acquired RBF during this time and began providing constructability reviews throughout the design phase, as well as construction management and inspection services for the road realignment.

In recent years, MBI has experienced a significant loss of staff members skilled in inspecting and managing dam construction projects. Coupled with the city's anticipation of maxing out the original consulting agreement once Oakvale Road realignment is complete, staff requested proposals in search of a new firm to take over construction management for the dam replacement.

Morrow said that although GEI Consultants, Inc. was chosen as the only group responsive to the proposal request, the firm has extensive experience working with other roller-compacted concrete dams, including the Olivenhain and San Vicente dams.

The dam is expected to be completed in 2027.

Biopharma company closes $45M contract

A Carlsbad-based biopharmaceutical company has closed a $45 million deal to receive financial support for a dedicated facility housing a new drug-filling line that will more than quadruple its current product output.

Argonaut Manufacturing Services, a contract development and manufacturing organization, or CDMO, serving the biopharma and life sciences industries, received $45 million in financing for its new drug product fill/finish expansion and equipment upgrades.

“Argonaut is uniquely positioned to address the manufacturing challenges that biopharma innovators face related to the sterile fill/finish of complex and high-value drug products,” said Wayne Woodard, founder and CEO of Argonaut.

The expansion, underway since early 2023, includes a new facility with a drug-filling line that more than quadruples Argonaut’s existing drug product fill lines, according to a statement from the company.

NewVale Capital, a growth equity fund focused on pharmaceutical and life science services, led the financing with support from existing majority investor Telegraph Hill Partners and other investors.

Sheriff: DUIs up, collisions down in Encinitas

By Erik P. Gabaldon ENCINITAS

— Authorities have released a new traffic collision and citation status report for February in Encinitas, showing increased drunk driving arrests in the city but fewer vehicle-involved crashes.

During a March 11 meeting of the city’s Traffic and Mobility Commission, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said February had approximately 12 DUI arrests, 61 accidents,

police Officer Eddie Reyes, who spent the past nine months battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, died last month.

and 141 citations, with 12 total collisions, four of which were DUI-related.

Actual numbers were estimated lower due to alleged inaccuracies in the department’s status report, which was based on data from an automated dispatch system. The status report, which was automatically generated on March 1 for the previous month, may not be entirely accurate, officials said.

Since January, there

have been almost twice as many arrests for drunk driving, but the overall number of collisions has decreased by more than half. According to the Sheriff's Department's report, the most DUI arrests in the city over the past year occurred in September 2023 (25) and October 2023 (23); the fewest number of DUI arrests were eight in January 2024.

In February, the location of 1550 Leucadia Boulevard had the most colli-

sions, with five, and Saxony Place and Saxony Road had the fewest, with one each. The second-highest location for collisions (2) was 115 El Camino Real.

Last month, the top location for citations was 2500 Coast Highway 101, with 17, and the fewest citations (2) were given at southbound Interstate 5 and Leucadia Boulevard. The second-highest area for citations (11) was 2800 Coast Highway 101.

Development project updates: Due to a possible plan redesign, the 485 multi-family unit and low-income project at Quail Meadows will be removed from the City Council’s calendar for an undetermined amount of time.

The vacant site is north of Encinitas Boulevard and east of Quail Gardens Road.

Camino Multi-Family Residential, Olivenhain Estates, 1220-1240 Melba Road (Torrey Crest), 241

Andrew Avenue, 845 Santa Fe Drive, 654 North Coast Highway 101, 501 Ocean Bluff and Bella Vista are all under review for proposed residential development.

Safety and mobility project updates: According to a city statement, 12 commission projects have been completed since the summer of 2022. The projects include crosswalks, bicycle lanes, and street upgrades for citywide permit parking updates.

Mountain lion killed by vehicle

Fatal collision just days after O’side sightings

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —

Last summer, Reyes was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. This progressive neurodegenerative disease weakens the muscles and impacts physical functions, causing a loss in the ability to speak, eat, move and even breathe.

The Oceanside City Council honored Reyes’ life and death with a moment of silence at the Feb. 28 council meeting’s adjournment.

“Eddie Reyes was a fantastic guy,” said Deputy Mayor Ryan Keim, who worked with Reyes as a fellow Oceanside police officer.

Originally from Houston, Texas, Reyes joined the Oceanside Police Department after serving in the Marine Corps. He served in Oceanside for 22 years.

“Eddie was one of the most professional, hardworking people I’ve ever met,” Keim said. “He cared about everyone who worked around him... and was always there to help when he could. His ALS came on quickly. I know our whole department is hurting right now.”

Reyes was twice nominated as a Team of the Quarter member and received both the Silver DUI Award and the Gold DUI Award.

Beyond policing, Reyes had a passion for boxing, teaching his fellow officers the sport and comepting in the Fire and Police Olympics.

Reyes leaves behind two sons, both of whom are serving in the military, and a large number of close relatives in Texas who cared for him in his final months.

Police Chief Kedrick Sadler said Reyes’ passing was a “great loss to the department.”

“He’ll be greatly missed,” Sadler said.

the second time in a month, the City Council has approved a rent increase for a seniors-only mobile home park. Elderly Town and Country Club Mobile Home Park residents will soon see a 10.49% increase in their rents, ranging from $26.92 to $79.86 monthly.

On March 6, the council unanimously approved the long-form rent increase application for the 155-space mobile home park at 2280 E. Valley Pkwy.

Only 154 of the 155 spaces will see a rent increase, as the park’s managers live in the remaining unit and do not pay rent.

In February, the City Council approved a shortform rent increase for Casa Grande Mobile Estates, another senior mobile home park. Last November, the city adopted a long-form rent increase for Eastwood Meadows.

Mobile home park owners must submit an application to the city requesting a rent increase under Proposition K, a mobile home rent control measure that voters ap -

proved in 1988. Owners can either submit a short-form application, a more straightforward process that increases rent based solely on the change in the San Diego Metropolitan Area’s Consumer Price Index, or a long-form application, a more tedious and less frequently used process for park owners that do not qualify to apply for shortform.

Kleege Enterprises subsequently requested a 19.22% rent increase based on the years between 2016 and 2023, which accounts for 60% of the CPI increase.

The City Council ultimately approved a 10.49% rent increase based on the original long-form application’s submission period of 2016 to 2021.

“I don’t think it’s reasonable or fair to request a significant increase going back so far when the previous owner wasn’t anticipating a rent increase,” said Mayor Dane White.

Councilmember Consuelo Martinez said she would not support a rent increase as high as 19.22%, which would have cost residents between $49.33 and $146.33 more each month.

Several residents spoke out against the rent increase, some suggesting that a 6% increase would be more reasonable and

fair.

“This will cause a severe hardship to a large number of residents,” said Susan Romero, park representative for residents.

“Many will have to cut their budgets, leaving out much-needed items such as food or medications, just to make ends meet.”

The park is restricted to seniors, many of whom have low or fixed incomes.

Several newer residents also felt that a rent increase would be more unfair to them because they already pay higher rent than older residents.

Bruce Kleege, president of Kleege Enterprises, suggested he was doing residents a favor by requesting 19.22% now because he could return later and ask for more.

“You’re playing with fire,” Kleege said, frustrated by the council’s decision.

Kleege is eligible to return next year and apply for a short-form application, which would be based on a 90% CPI change. Clark said that while inflation is high, a rent increase from a short-form application next year would likely be capped at around 8%.

With the newly approved rent increase, Town and Country Club Mobile Home Park is Escondido’s fifth-most expensive mobile home park.

A young mountain lion struck and killed by a vehicle in rural Oceanside has sparked speculation about its possible connection to recent sightings of a similar animal roaming the streets of downtown a few days earlier.

On March 8, Oceanside police responded to a report of a deceased young male mountain lion near North River Road and Wilshire Road near South Morro Hills.

The animal had been fatally struck by a vehicle at approximately 7:25 p.m., according to the Oceanside Police Department. The driver was not injured in the collision, and their identity was not identified.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife was called to examine the animal and then notified the San Diego Humane Society.

The incident occurred just days after several individuals and security cameras captured footage of a mountain lion wandering the streets of downtown Oceanside between March 4 and March 6.

The animal was spotted in the 200 and 300 blocks of North Coast Highway 101 near Oceanside City Hall, in the 1100 block of South Coast Highway 101, and on state Route 76 at Rancho Del Oro near Ivey Ranch Park.

“We cannot confirm, at this time, if this is the same mountain lion seen in the city over the past few days,” police said.

Resident Leah Viveiros shared an image on a community Facebook group showing the large tan cat peering into the door of the Regal Theatre around 2 a.m.

“My kid was working; she heard a loud noise and this is what was at the front door,” Viveiros wrote, describing one of the sightings.

While many suspect the deceased mountain lion to be the same one seen in downtown Oceanside,

wildlife authorities caution against assumptions.

“According to CDFW, this animal was a younger male lion, likely a disperser,” said Humane Society spokesperson Nina Thompson. “It’s difficult to say if it is the same lion that was being reported in the area this week, as this is the time of year where young mountain lions will start to disperse and seek territory of their own.”

Fish and Wildlife, the state agency responsible for tracking mountain lions, encourages residents to report any sightings to help them better monitor situations.

Some wildlife experts speculated about the origin of the mountain lion spotted in Oceanside.

“It is very possible this one came from the Camp Pendleton area, or perhaps Fallbrook,” said Autumn Nelson, wildlife operations manager at the Ramona Wildlife Center. “It’s hard to say because mountain lions can move 10 to 12 miles daily.”

Nelson said that male mountain lions typically roam territories ranging from 40 to 200 square miles, with the average being 100 square miles. As young mountain lions become more independent, they disperse and seek out their territory.

Mountain lions typically inhabit steep, rocky canyons or mountainous terrain, but they can also be found in deserts and coastal forests, ranging from sea level to elevations of 10,000 feet.

Although mountain lions are not commonly found in highly populated urban areas, Nelson said that urban development encroaching on their habitat increases the likelihood of sightings and vehicle-wildlife collisions.

“Vehicle strikes are a common cause of mountain lion mortalities as urban development spreads to wilderness areas,” Nelson said. “Human-made wildlife corridors are an important step towards creating safe spaces for animals to cross roads and freeways.”

Residents can report mountain lion sightings at apps.wildlife.ca.gov/wir/ incident/create.

THE ESCONDIDO City Council on March 6 approved a rent increase for Town & Country Club Mobile Home Park, the second rent hike to a seniors-only mobile home park in a month.

nlike his close friends Pat Curren, Butch Van Artsdalen and Carl Ekstrom, “Pal” Al Nelson was never famous as a surfer. He somehow avoided that honor in spite of being one of our sport’s top surfers and board makers.

Nelson was too busy chasing freedom to ever worry about anything so trivial as fame. He first found liberty at Windansea, where he distinguished himself for his advanced surfing, and later in Hawaii when he, along with the aforementioned Curren, helped pioneer big water on the North Shore of Oahu.

As proof of this accomplishment, the first Surfer Magazine shows Al sliding down the face of a skyscraper-sized mountain at Waimea Bay.

I don’t know how Nelson got his start building surfboards, but his boards were vastly popular through the '50s and '60s as he and his business partner Curren hand-crafted some of the most beautiful and functional art pieces beneath the Windansea shack.

This was in the days when California was the land of the free, a time before permits and fire regulations when building a surfboard on the beach was considered a human right. When that right was revoked, Al began making boards in garages, not his garage or those belonging to people he knew, but whatever garage he found open.

The dialogue between Al and the garage owners went something like this:

“Hey, what are you doing in my garage?”

“This isn’t your garage, it belongs to Ed, and Ed told me I could work here.”

“This is my garage; who’s Ed?”

“Ed owns this garage, and he said I could use it.”

The conversation continued like this until the owner relented and said, “Okay, just clean up when you leave.”

Besides surfboards, Al built airplanes, once winning the best new design at the prestigious Oshkosh

water spot

Air Show. Just prior to his death, T. Claude Ryan, the owner of Ryan Aircraft, where the Spirit of St Louis was produced for famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, commissioned Nelson to build a plane for his company. Ryan’s death in 1982 halted the project.

By then, Nelson had discovered new surfing grounds south of the border in Costa Rica and Mexico.

Nelson was a humanitarian, showing kindness to everyone including an autistic kid named Ronald whom Al often brought to work. As the story goes, Ronald was a fan of the Lone Ranger, and one of his prized possessions was the silver bullet Al gave him as a gift from the masked man himself.

Least anyone get some sentimental notion of canonizing Al Nelson, it should be noted that he often held his own in cantinas from Bird Rock’s Sip N Surf Bar to Tijuana’s Long Bar. There, stories of Nelson and Curren are recounted by the ghosts who frequent there, much as their legends are in the waves they rode.

I once traded stories of Pal Al with Surfer’s Journal founder Steve Pezman. Our meeting concluded with Pezman shaking his head, laughing and saying, “I’ve got to write his story.”

I don’t know if that story was ever written or not. Even if it was, there is no way to sum up the life of Pal Al Nelson, who passed away last month in his Punta Chivato home.

While there are no dates yet established for paddle-outs, Al’s ashes will be divided between Windansea and various parts of Baja. Trust me when I say it has to be that way. There really isn’t enough of him to go around.

Pet of the Week

DONNER is pet of the week at Helen Woodward Animal Center. He is an 8-month-old Cur blend who loves to be center of attention.

At first, he may seem shy, but once he is playing in the yard with his friends, he is all energy and show. This goofy pup is light on his feet and will chase any and all toys his humans throw. Once he is comfortable with people, he becomes their best friend.

Donner’s adoption fee is $178 plus a $36 microchip fee. All pets adopted from

Helen Woodward Animal Center are altered and upto-date on vaccinations and micro-chipped for identifi-

cation. Helen Woodward Animal Center is offering half off adoption fees throughout March to combat shelter overcrowding, which is currently both a regional and national problem for most animal shelters.

Helen Woodward Animal Center is 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).

Int’l Women’s Day event held in Cardiff

By Staff

ENCINITAS — S’eau

Prima, the skin care brand founded by Sybil Steele, in collaboration with Design 4 Corners, a local award-winning interior design firm led by Elaina Samaniego-Myers and Susanna Ward, hosted the 2nd annual International Women’s Day event on March 8 in Encinitas.

The event took place at The Waverly restaurant, drawing a diverse crowd keen on celebrating and honoring the accomplishments of women worldwide.

Under the theme “Invest in Women,” the evening featured an empowering discussion aimed at promoting gender equality and uplifting women.

The keynote panel, led by three influential speakers — Durana Elmi, COO and co-founder of Cymbiotika; Katie Zacarian, co-founder and CEO of Earth Species Project and executive producer of She Change Film; and Colleen Cormier, VP of sales at Commvault — sparked insightful conversations on women’s leadership, diversity and inclusion, breaking barriers and fostering empowerment.

The panel was moderated by Keri Parker, on-air beauty expert and media trainer.

The event was not only a platform for dialogue but also a fundraising initiative, raising over $10,000 for She’s the First and 88 Bikes, nonprofit organizations dedicated to empowering women and girls globally.

Among the event sponsors were Cymbiotika, Commvault, Coast Law Group, Cleobella, Solento Tequila, and REPEG, showcasing

their commitment to supporting women’s causes and initiatives.

“It was a beautiful night that showcased the rewards of not only investing in women, but allying with women,” said Nicole Blakely, partner at Coast Law Group. “When you invest and partner with women, they pay it back threefold. They build successful businesses, they build family wealth, and they build community.”

Steele, the founder of S’eau Prima, expressed her dedication to advancing gender equality.

“S’eau Prima is committed to raising awareness about the importance of gender equality as part of the global movement for change,” Steele said.

Samaniego-Myers and Ward, the founders of Design 4 Corners who helped design The Waverly, emphasized the significance of community support in creating a better future for women.

“We are thrilled to be a part of this event to promote women’s empowerment and help raise awareness around the issues we as women face,” said Samaniego-Myers and Ward.

Noteworthy guests including Jill Ellis, president of San Diego Wave Fútbol Club, and Julie Uhrman, founder and president of Los Angeles’ Angel City FC.

In addition to fostering meaningful dialogue and raising awareness about women’s empowerment, the event inspired attendees to take action and advocate for positive change in their communities and workplaces.

Students learn inclusion, access

By Staff

ENCINITAS — All nine of Encinitas Union’s elementary schools recently participated in a series of events promoting inclusion and accessibility.

The annual, weeklong events brought together students, educators and community leaders to engage in meaningful dialogue and practical demonstrations centered around inclusivity in an effort to create a space where all children feel heard, respected and valued.

According to the school district, this not only enhances their academic experiences but also contributes to the development of empathy and adds to their experience of being a skilled communicator and a confident collaborator.

Additionally, each school highlighted an “abilities” celebrity gallery walk and hosted assemblies featuring blind athletes who shared their personal narratives of triumph and perseverance.

Students actively participated in immersive activities, experiencing firsthand the realities of dyslexia, braille literacy and adaptive sports. They also watched their teachers engage in wheelchair basketball sessions, which according to the district further underscored the importance of fostering empathy and a welcoming environment.

“I am always impressed with how our Special Education Parent Council, PTAs, TRAC Teachers, and Specialists work together to ensure all students have an oppor-

tunity to learn and grow with inclusive practices,” said Superintendent Andree Grey.

“Of course, the overarching idea is that all children should have access to their dreams and inclusion.”

Beyond the weeklong activities, families received suggested homebased initiatives to extend learning experiences, fostering sensory exploration and replicable ability simulations. Through these efforts, students are equipped to champion inclusivity within their communities year-round.

Beyond the weeklong series, the EUSD Board passed and adopted a resolution on Jan. 16 in support of “Abilities Awareness and Inclusion in Action.”

Clippers memorable for wrong reasons

sports talk

The San Diego Clippers are coming, the San Diego Clippers are coming, and yeah, I can’t wait either.

But this Clippers edition will not match the shenanigans of their first stay in the region.

News broke this week that the San Diego Clippers are going boomerang in returning to an area they called home from 1978 to 1984.

The new guys from Ontario will plant their flag in Oceanside when they swing open the doors of Frontwave Arena this fall.

But they do so with a reminder of how wobbly this outfit was during its initial stint in our slice of paradise. That failure was the result of a slapstick organization that was cheap and zany and, oddly, presented a future picture regarding the San Diego Chargers.

The fresh Clippers belong to the G League, the NBA’s version of MLB’s Triple-A — the top level of minor league play. G League players are bent on going hard and getting their ticket punched to basketball’s top rung.

When watching G League games in Santa Cruz, the energy, excitement, and eagerness of the athletes are impossible to ignore.

Load management?

Take it elsewhere, as these men go all out, all the time.

This brings us back to the San Diego Clippers of years ago, a floundering franchise that reminded many of driving up on a car wreck. Even if a peek at the pileup is disheartening, one still looks.

The Clippers were

G League comes to Oceanside

By City News Service

OCEANSIDE — The Los Angeles Clippers will bring their G League team to Oceanside for the 202425 season, rebranding as the San Diego Clippers, it was announced March 11.

known for losing and laughable business practices.

The team’s second San Diego owner, Don Sterling, made cheapskates look like Elon Musk. Sterling cut corners with the training facility, scouting department and office supplies.

Administrative assistants who toiled for the Clippers and then worked for the Chargers would regale sportswriters with tales of Sterling counting paper clips as closely as the games’ final scores.

Those teams had talent, but Clipper fans lost the owner lottery, with Sterling constantly having one eye on the spreadsheet and another on the next train to Los Angeles.

Sterling wanted the L.A. market, much like the Chargers did decades later. When the NBA told him he couldn’t move, he told the NBA to go pound sand.

The NBA blinked and San Diego went bonkers. OK, that’s a stretch, with the team averaging about 5,500

fans per game in its last year.

While the defeats were plentiful — the Clippers won 17 games in 1981-82 — they were only eclipsed by the characters associated with the squad.

When you fail in your hometown, that’s as bad as it gets.”

Bill Walton Former SD Clipper

Coach Gene Shue? His hair was so dark late in his life that he was often called “Shoe Polish.”

Remember the halftime show that featured a pie-throwing contest under the basket? The second half was 30 minutes late due to the mess it made at the old Sports Arena (now Pechanga Arena).

How about when the

Clippers signed La Mesa’s Bill Walton? But Walton and the team never found their footing, with Walton’s feet keeping him sidelined for long stretches.

Walton played 14 games in his first three seasons, and he chafes at what might have been.

“When you fail in your hometown, that’s as bad as it gets, and I love my hometown,” Walton once said. “I wish we had NBA basketball here, and we don’t because of me.”

That’s harsh but rings with a sliver of truth.

It was clear that Sterling, like Chargers owner Dean Spanos, had eyes for the lucrative L.A. market, and nothing would stop either of them from heading north.

Money was always a problem with the Clippers, but not so much finding players to root for.

Terry Cummings was a star, as was Tom Chambers.

Norm Nixon, the fasttwitch guard who won with

the Lakers, was traded here for Byron Scott. Kobe Bryant? He was a toddler, but his father, Joe “Jellybean” Bryant, was a Clipper favorite.

John Olive, the longtime Torrey Pines High hoops coach?

Olive played small forward for the Clippers, scoring 44 points in 35 career games from 1978-80.

Lloyd Free was the epitome of cool, and that vibe increased when he changed his name to “World B.” during the ‘81 season.

Free would usually start shooting when entering the parking lot, not shy about the number of shots he took or from what distance.

Memories rush back with the Clippers coming back to San Diego County. It’s a great win for Oceanside, even if the last time they were here was a lesson in losing.

US defeats Brazil, 1-0, wins CONCACAF W Gold Cup

By City News Service

REGION — Lindsey Horan scored one minute into first-half stoppage time as the United States defeated Brazil, 1-0, in the final of the inaugural CONCACAF W Gold Cup March 10 at Snapdragon Stadium.

Horan leaped between two Brazilian defenders to head in a cross from Emily Fox.

“When Foxy got the ball I knew she was looking cross it in and that’s what we’ve been working on,” U.S. forward Alex Morgan said.

“As the ball was coming in, Lindsay actually said leave it and in the moment I knew she had a better chance at heading it than I did. So I just gave a little block to the player in front of me and let

Lindsey score that goal.”

The scoring sequence also included Sam Coffey sending a long pass from the half-way line down the right

wing to Trinity Rodman, who dribbled about 15 yards to the end line, then sent a pass back to Fox. Rodman is the daughter

of Basketball Hall of Fame member Dennis Rodman.

Alyssa Naeher didn’t need to make a save for her third shutout in her five games and won the Golden Glove as the tournament’s top goalkeeper.

The Americans appeared to take a 2-0 lead in the 79th minute as a shot by Lynn Williams beat Luciana but she was ruled to be offside.

Brazil led 11-7 in shots. The U.S. led 3-0 in shots on goal in front of a crowd announced at 31,528 in the 35,000-seat stadium. Luciana made two saves.

Forward Jaedyn Shaw was selected as the Golden Ball winner as the tournament’s best player. The 19-year-old led the team

with four goals. She was among four players from San Diego Wave FC on the 23-player U.S. roster.

The victory improved the Americans’ record in California to 53-1-5, with the loss coming to Mexico Feb. 26 to conclude group stage play.

The U.S. leads the series against Brazil, 32-3-5, including victories in each of the last seven games.

Brazil had won all five of its games in the tournament before Sunday’s final, outscoring the opposition 15-1.

The Americans had four victories, one loss and the shootout victory over Canada in the tournament, outscoring their opponents, 15-4.

The announcement was made at the new Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, where the NBA minor league team will play. The team is currently based in Ontario and will finish the 2023-24 season there.

According to the organization, Halo Sports and Entertainment — the new umbrella brand encompassing the Clippers and their G League team, the Kia Forum and Intuit Dome — will partner with Frontwave Arena to run the business operations of the San Diego Clippers.

Clippers President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank will continue to oversee basketball operations for both teams.

Frontwave Arena is set to open this summer and will host concerts, comedy shows, community events and games for the San Diego Sockers professional indoor soccer team. The 7,500 capacity arena will also have an outdoor plaza.

The Clippers have their own history in San Diego County, moving from Buffalo in 1978 to play as the San Diego Clippers. Former owner Donald Sterling controversially moved the team to Los Angeles in 1984 without NBA approval. As a result, the league sued to move the team back but ultimately let Sterling off with a fine.

A total of 12 of the 18 players on the Clippers’ current roster have spent time in the G League during their career.

“I’m thrilled to welcome fans in San Diego and the Oceanside community to the G League, which has truly never been more impactful to NBA teams than it is today,” said NBA G League President Shareef Abdur-Rahim.

“This unique partnership is exciting not only for the basketball diehards in the area, but for the players and coaches who will be able to develop their NBA-caliber skills each day.’’

BILL WALTON, a native of La Mesa, played in only 14 games in his first three seasons with the Clippers because of injuries.

Encinitas surfers relish Australia’s Usher Cup

Local surf club heads Down Under for global tourney

By Erik P. Gabaldon ENCINITAS —

The Encinitas Boardriders Club, a local nonprofit club dedicated to surfing and surf culture, recently traveled to Australia to compete in an international surfing competition.

In January, clubs from the U.S., Bali, New Zealand, Hawaii and Japan flocked Down Under to Snapper Rocks, a famous surf break at Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, to battle it out against Australia’s top surfers for $100,000 in prizes, daps and clout at the fourth annual Usher Cup World Club Challenge.

The four-day surfing tournament featured a judging station running half the length of a football field, a skateboarding halfpipe demo, live music, food, and drinks.

The Encinitas Boardriders Club, including professional surfer and Encinitas native Cody Steele and local rising stars Jett Maughan, Kaydn Persidok and Caleb Crozier, represented North County San Diego at the four-day Usher Cup, which

also featured 21 Australian and 10 international clubs.

According to Steele, the Usher Cup allowed the Encinitas club team to compete on a bigger platform with higher stakes. While the group was knocked out early in the international team competition, some team members had strong individual performances.

“Our team didn’t advance out of the first heat because of some of the conditions and some other parameters, but we were still really excited to be there,” Steele told The Coast News. “(Maughan) did pretty well, making it through a couple of the individual heats.”

The West Coast Boardriders, a parent club,

hosted the Usher Cup qualifying events, where clubs could earn a shot at competing in Australia. During the qualifiers, Encinitas beat three teams in its division, including boardrider clubs from Carlsbad, Oceanside, and La Jolla.

The top Southern California teams invited to the Usher Cup included Enci-

nitas, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Santa Cruz, and San Clemente.

Individual riders, including high-profile surfers Joel Parkinson, Reef Hazelwood, Sebastion Zietz, Sheldon Simkus, Nathan Hedge and Ian Crane, competed for the tournament's first two days, and team divisions were scheduled for the final two days.

For Steele, competing at the Usher Cup wasn’t about winning or proving surfing chops. Steele, an avid photographer working in real estate, brought his wife Aubri and their five children, a surfboard, camera and drone, taking time to enjoy his stay and snap a few aerial shots of Snapper Rock.

“It was kind of more

about connecting with some old friends, seeing some new people, and re-establishing some relationships I already had,” Steele said. “Many old, world-title professionals were there organizing the event and taking part in it, which was really cool.”

The North Narrabeen Boardriders finished with 29.60 points to claim the Usher Cup World Club Challenge crown, edging out Snapper Rocks (27.99) by 1.61 points. San Clemente finished third with 21.30 points, and Le-Ba placed fourth with 12.27 points.

Lancers lose heartbreaker

Carlsbad’s dream season ends in 73-72 loss to Harvard-Westlake

By Noah Perkins LOS ANGELES

— For Carlsbad, it was the same outcome but a very different story.

The Lancers boys’ basketball dream season ended Saturday night as it began: with a loss against the national powerhouse and top-ranked Harvard-Westlake in the CIF SoCal Regional Open Division semifinals.

However, Carlsbad’s 73-72 loss to the Wolverines was unlike November’s 39-point thrashing. The Lancers controlled both sides of the court from the opening tip and came within a half-inch — Tony Duckett’s too-long stepback fadeaway with eight seconds left — of completing the Cinderella story.

“On the bus ride home, and as I lay in bed until 3 a.m., I went over all the what-ifs in my head,” said Lancers’ head coach Clark Allard. “When I woke up, I was overwhelmingly proud of how we battled against a top-five team in the coun-

try.”

The Lancers heavyweight trio of Duckett, Jake Hall, and Jael Martin played near-perfect basketball. Duckett led Carlsbad with 23 points, while Hall knocked in 18. Martin asserted himself on both sides of the ball, scoring 15 and adding five crucial blocks.

“The amount of talent on [Carlsbad] is unbelievable,” said Jaxen Sladavic, a senior guard from conference rival San Dieguito Academy. It’s not just the first 10; 15 guys on that team are very good basketball players, and when their chemistry is going, they are very tough to beat.”

Several two-handed dunks from Pepperdine commit Martin energized the heavily purple Carlsbad section of the bleachers with “Let’s go Carlsbad” chants, making it feel like a home game at times.

“They were loud during Harvard-Westlake’s free throws and were pumping us up when we scored,”

Allard said. “Our guys fed off that. It was a huge contribution. It wasn’t just parents who travelled twoand-a-half hours; it was community members and students.”

At one point, the Lancers pushed the lead to 13.

Going into the half,

Carlsbad led by eight, 4133, making every possession a war of attrition for Harvard-Westlake. The Lancers’ frenetic defensive effort primarily held in check the high-scoring backcourt of Christian Horry and Robert Hinton. Hinton didn’t score his

first points until late in the fourth period.

“We wanted to take away their post isolations,” Allard said. “We wanted to keep them more on the perimeter so we loaded up on help on the baseline side for all of their post touches.”

It took an other-world-

ly, 40-point performance from USC commit Trent Perry to close Carlsbad out.

“I wanted to wear a Harvard-Westlake jersey at least one more time,” Perry said postgame.

Harvard-Westlake played a tighter second half, taking their first lead since the game’s opening minutes midway through the fourth. Carlsbad remained resilient, cutting the deficit to one with 24 seconds left.

Both teams exchanged multiple fouls, playing a free throw game against the clock, until Perry stepped out of bounds with the ball in his hands at the 10-second mark.

“On our last two free throws, we told Jael [Martin] to miss the last free throw,” Allard said. “He shot it three feet higher than he normally shoots it, trying to get it off the back rim so we could try for an offensive rebound, but he ended up getting nothing but net.”

On the inbound pass, Duckett drove from midcourt, getting within 12 feet of the basket, before putting up a step back, fadeaway, from the left side of the hoop — a clean look, but the shot caught just too much rim.

“He was cooking,” Allard said. “Everybody was upset after the game, but without Tony, we aren’t in

Local yogi begins anew

Mother of two returns home to open yoga studio

The loud colors and clunky art gave way to minimalist decor, neutral colors and plenty of natural light, helping create a more open and modern space.

Szymanski remodeled the women’s changing room, now outfitted with showers, comfortable chairs, and lockers. (She promises the men’s locker rooms are next.)

too late to rebuild anew.

After years of facing pay inequity as a female yoga teacher in Hong Kong, Szymanski, now in her mid40s, has returned stateside with this personal mantra serving as the cornerstone of Good Yoga, a new yoga studio in the heart of Encinitas.

“It’s never too late to start from scratch and try again,” Szymanski told The Coast News. “I think of that daily, being in my mid-40s and opening my own business. It’s never too late to start over.”

Shortly after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Szymanski left Asia and returned to Encinitas to open Good Yoga. The longtime instructor wanted to offer traditional yoga for people of all skill levels while staying true to her early training under esteemed yogis Bikram and Rajashree Choudhury, Emmy Cleaves and Jim Kallett.

But starting over always has its challenges. The studio, formerly home to Yoga Tropics, hadn’t been renovated in years. While the building was solid with “good bones,” Szymanski said the ’70s decor needed a facelift.

The Good Yoga studio features two newly renovated spaces for Bikram, a 90-minute sequence of 26 poses and two breathing exercises practiced in a

heated room, and Iyengar, a form of Hatha yoga that focuses on the body’s structural alignment through precise maneuvers and props.

“The beauty of the Bikram sequence is that whether you’ve been practicing yoga for 30 years or have never practiced yoga, all the poses are accessible to everyone,” Szymanski said. “It’s still challenging for the veteran, but there are no advanced poses for the newbie — it’s simple but challenging.”

Szymanski’s studio also offers hot Pilates and Vinyasa classes at a cozy 105 degrees and a silent Bikram

session.

Since opening, Szymanski has hosted workshops, teacher training, and international group yoga retreats in Bali, Thailand, and Portugal. In April, Good Yoga is hosting a retreat in Sri Lanka, which Szymanski said is a fun way to travel and spend time with like-minded people.

The following month, Esak Garcia, an international yoga asana champion and Bikram teacher since 2001, will host a Hot 26+2 Workshop on May 4 at Good Yoga.

In addition to Szymanski, Good Yoga offers instruction from 15 teachers, most of whom have between 15 and 20 years of experience.

“I wanted to hire teachers whose classes I wanted to take,” Szymanski said.

Szymanski expressed her gratitude for having a yoga studio in Encinitas, a unique location where she feels at home among the locals and business owners. After years of building a solid foundation as a yoga teacher and with the support of her husband Mike and their children Luke and Sophia, Szymanski hopes to extend her passion for the ancient practice to the North County community.

“Encinitas is a spiritual place from a yoga standpoint,” Szymanski said. “Whether you are a spiritual person or believe in all of that, there is a reason why the city is the Mecca of yoga.”

For those of us still grieving the loss of Karina’s Taco Shop, the arrival of an equally iconic and storied Mexican restaurant to take its place should provide some comfort and even cause for celebration.

Jorge’s Mexicatessen has arrived in the heart of Leucadia, and I, for one, am quite excited, especially after my first few visits.

Some may argue that a classic Mexican restaurant known for its unique style has been replaced by another establishment whose history and loyal customer base rival, if not exceed, Karina’s.

As in all matters involving Mexican restaurants in the area, the debates can be endless and spirited.

Let’s just all agree that we are quite lucky to have the plethora of quality offerings that we do.

But enough about that; what’s done is done, and we should celebrate the fact that one of the pioneers of what I consider to be the most delicious Mexican (or is it Encinitas)-style chicken soup is now providing Leucadians with an even more convenient place to enjoy it.

Before I discuss what I consider the best chicken soup on the planet, I should note that several area restaurants serve a very similar style of soup in appearance, ingredients, flavor, and what many consider to be healing properties.

I’ve written extensively about this in the past, as La Especial Norte, Lourdes, and Raul’s Shack all create their own version of this world-class soup, whose flavorful broth, generous

chunks of chicken, rice, tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, and more combine with your choice of corn or flour tortillas to create an almost religious soup experience.

I should also point out that, according to some old-school locals, the families of La Especial Norte, Jorge’s, and Raul’s Shack worked together at one point.

That said, Jorge himself is considered by many to be the godfather of Mexican soup in the area and to whom many of the others owe their success.

His grandson, Jaime Martinez, is running the new Leucadia location and is bringing youthful enthusiasm to his role while staying true to the culinary traditions that made Jorge’s what it is today.

I guess one could call my new dilemma of visiting Jorge’s (one block from home) or La Especial Norte

(five blocks) a "high-class problem" and one that I gladly welcome into my life.

I’m sure that for someone more discerning than myself on the topic, there are slight differences in their chicken soups, but dang, it’s tough for me to decipher them.

They even look the same in the bowl! I can say that, as a fan of flour tortillas, La Especial Norte provides two large tortillas, while Jorge’s goes with one giant tortilla.

And speaking of tortillas, if you order this soup to go, which is very doable as it travels well, I suggest charring up the flour tortillas on your gas burner if you have that available.

The char really adds a delightful element to the experience.

OK, besides the soup, my next test was the fish tacos and well, as much as

I am hesitant to say this, they are right up there with my favorites, which had been enjoyed at Juanita’s about a mile south on Coast Highway 101. Jorge’s uses cod, which is extra crispy and about as good as fish tacos get.

I have to say I really love the crema that Juanita’s spreads across the top, but let’s say, again, how lucky we are to live in the best place in the world for fish tacos — or at least the United States. A breakfast burrito is another test for me, and once again, Jorge’s exceeded my expectations.

The tortilla was soft and wrapped perfectly around the potatoes, salsa fresca, eggs, cheese, and your choice of bacon or ham. Bacon for me, please.

It took everything I had not to scarf this down in one early morning sitting, but my portion con-

trol took over, and I easily extended it to lunch by cutting it in half.

I should also mention that I am totally down for a cold leftover breakfast burrito, and the tortilla kept its soft and pliable qualities when some tend to dry out after sitting in a refrigerator.

Besides the stellar breakfast burritos, several other solid options to start the day are available, including Huevos Rancheros, Huevos Con Chorizo, Huevos A La Mexicana, and Chilaquiles Con Huevos.

All the other regu-

lar Mexican joint menu options are represented well on Jorge’s menu, and based on my experiences so far, I’ll be back to eat my way through it, including the Chicken Mole tacos and Taco Salad served in a crispy tortilla when I am feeling gluten-aware, my new mantra for eating lighter at lunch as gluten-free will never enter my vocabulary.

Jorge’s in Leucadia is a delightful new addition to the dining scene, and I’m happy to have them. Find Jorge’s at 916 N. Coast Highway 101, Encinitas.

REGION — Over its more than 30 years of operation, the little coffee shop at San Marcos Restaurant Row has weathered countless changes, from new owners to new names, while always maintaining its strong following of loyal customers.

Today, the coffee shop previously known as Mocha Marketplace, Old Cal Coffee Company, and now Ascend Coffee Roasters is undergoing its biggest transition.

Ascend Coffee has moved to a new location in La Costa, which opened in January. The shop also saw the closure of its longtime home along San Marcos Boulevard in late February due to the planned redevelopment of Restaurant Row.

This season of change is bittersweet for owner Erin Harper but also one of hope.

“We had so many people come by and give us well wishes and let us know they were gonna continue to support us,” Harper said

The business originally opened at Restaurant Row in 1990 as Mocha Marketplace and then became Old Cal Coffee Company in the early 2000s.

Harper came to work as a barista during this time and would remain there for over a decade, eventually becoming a partner in the business.

Harper bought Old Cal Coffee from shop owners Giovanna and Chris Garcia in 2022.

By then, she had been running her own roasting business called Ascend Coffee Roasters for two years and decided to operate the coffee shop under the Ascend name.

For a while, Harper frequently ran between the San Marcos and new Carlsbad locations while finding time to roast. With the closure of the old site, Harper is now focused on getting the new La Costa shop off the ground at the Los Coches Village shopping center.

Visitors to the new shop will find a more modern look than the Old California style of the previous location, but the same delicious menu of coffee drinks, pastries, and a variety of

“I’m kind of in a position right now where the La Costa store is so new that we’re just trying to get a cash flow going,” Harper said. “I’m trying to do this grassroots effort — I don’t have a ton of investors or anything, it’s just me. I’m just figuring it out one day at a time.”

Roasting was a hobby that quickly turned into

a passion and eventually formed the basis for the Ascend brand. Harper, who describes herself as a foodie, said it started with her desire to develop a high-quality craft dark roast.

Now, Ascend sells two dark roasts, one medium, one light, and a decaf option, each using single-origin beans from different locations around the world including Costa Rica, New Guinea, and Ethiopia that are roasted in San Marcos.

“We really take them from start to finish, from the green coffee that is uncooked to the espresso that’s in your cup. We really take care of it every step of the way,” Harper said.

Looking ahead, Harper said she has her sights set on further expansion in North County and an eventual return to San Marcos, where her love for coffee began.

There are plans in the works for a drive-thru loca-

tion near Palomar College and another potential site in Vista.

“We hope to spread our wings in North County,” Harper said.

Ascend Coffee is open daily from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 3231 Camino de los Coches.

Customers can also visit ascendroasters.com to order food and drinks for pickup or order bags of whole-bean coffee for home delivery.

Monday evening for races affecting North County, as well as the statewide ballot measure Proposition 1, according to the California Secretary of State and San Diego County Registrar of Voters:

48th Congressional District: Incumbent Rep. Darrel Issa (R-Vista) continues to hold a wide lead in the 48th Congressional race with 62.6% of the vote, followed by Democrat Stephen Houlahan, who is likely to be the challenger in November, with 14.8%.

Democrats Whitney Shanahan (12%), Mike Simon (7.3%), Matthew Rascon (2.2%), and independent candidate Lucinda KHW Jahn (1.1%) trailed behind.

49th Congressional District: The two candidates set to head to the November general election are incumbent Rep. Mike Levin (D-San Juan Capistrano) with 50.7% and Republican challenger Matt Gunderson with 25.9%.

“The pride I have in this team overtook any what-ifs,” Allard said.

Carlsbad finishes the season 30-3 as the eighthranked team in the state and with a CIF San Diego Section Open Division championship banner.

Perhaps most impressively, the Lancers won 20 consecutive games, going from December to March without a loss.

Anglea said that was false.

“Interfaith is currently providing services to the family referenced, and in the interaction described, Interfaith offered EPD additional resources to consider,” Anglea said via email. “It is a sad example of the frustrating reality that there are usually no available shelter beds for individuals or families in North County, not a recrimination of Interfaith's partnership with EPD.”

This will be Gunderson’s second time advancing to the general election after his 2022 run for the 38th Senate seat against state Sen. Catherine Blakespear. “I’m honored and humbled by the support we have received tonight, and I’m pleased to announce that we will be the Republican candidate to challenge Rep. Mike Levin in the General Election,” Gunderson said in an Election Day statement. “Mike Levin is out of touch with the district and our country desperately needs new leadership.”

74th Assembly District: Incumbent Assemblymember Laurie Davies (R-Laguna Niguel) continues to lead the two-person 74th Assembly District race with 55.8% of the vote, compared to Democratic challenger and San Clemente Mayor Chris Duncan’s 44.2%. Both Davies and Duncan will advance to the November election.

Candidates who will not advance past the primary are Democrats Christie Dougherty (9.9%), Joy Frew (7.3%), and Republican Jack Fernandes (2.8%).

“Unsurprisingly, this has resulted in an increase of calls for service to the Turk Center, as well as significant increases in crime, disorder and calls for service to the former Rancho Las Palmas restaurant immediately north of the Turk Center,” Varso wrote.

Interfaith moved Haven House, which previously had 49 beds, into the 106-bed Turk Center last year after experiencing a shortfall in funds to operate the shelter. For now, Interfaith, which is the city’s only homeless shelter provider, can only offer 15 general

Interfaith also runs a completely full family shelter.

Varso announced that he would suspend the COPPS Unit’s project for Interfaith, suggesting that the organization “has little interest in working with the Escondido Police Department.”

“For this reason, I must allocate my limited resources to other areas of the city in need of assistance,” Varso wrote.

The police department did not respond to The Coast News’ requests for comment.

accelerated and veered directly into Hunter, who was flung up and flipped over the defendant’s car. Hunter suffered head injuries and his leg was broken in three places. The officer had to be placed in a coma until swelling on the brain subsided.

Flores sped away, but was captured a few minutes later, according to prosecutors, who alleged that after his arrest, Flores bragged to a sheriff’s deputy posing as an inmate, as well as a confidential informant, that he struck Hunter with the car.

Flores was sentenced in 2017 and 2021 to nearly 30 years to life in state prison, but both convictions were overturned by state appellate court panels.

He later pleaded guilty to attempted murder and assault charges and was sentenced Thursday to 18 years for striking Hunter, as well as a separate assault weapon possession case.

Flores’ first conviction was overturned after an

troversial homeless policy that is highly critical of the Housing First approach to homelessness, which Interfaith follows.

Anglea said Interfaith has expressed its interest in working more closely with city leaders to increase shelter beds and other services for unhoused people in the city but feels as though they are being ignored. The council’s approval included a direction to staff to explore enacting a moratorium on homelessness services in the downtown-specific plan area and a surrounding six-block buffer zone. According to Mayor Dane White, the moratorium request was in response to the county’s recent consideration of adding a temporary homeless shelter on East Valley Parkway

“I congratulate Dr. Patel on her victory, and I urge everyone who supported our campaign to join me in standing with her in the fight to defend Assembly District 76 from extremists,” Rocha said.

This is the first time in 12 years that the seat will be up for grabs by a challenger, with incumbent Assemblymember Brian Maienschein (D-San Diego) termed out but set to appear on the November ballot for San Diego’s City Attorney seat.

77th Assembly District: Incumbent Assemblymember Tasha Boerner (D-Encinitas) continues to lead the 77th Assembly District race with 56.9% of the vote, followed by Republican challenger

39th Senate: Incumbent Assemblymember Akilah Weber (D-La Mesa) remains in the lead over Republican challenger Bob Divine with 60.5% of the vote compared to Divine’s 39.5%. Both will advance to the November election.

Proposition 1: Voters remain split over state ballot measure Proposition 1, with returns showing 50.4% in favor and 49.6% opposed. If passed, the measure would authorize issuing $6.3 billion in bonds to add 6,800 mental health and addiction treatment beds and build around 4,300 housing units, with half reserved for veterans.

Prop 1 would also give the state more control over how counties spend their current mental health tax funds from Prop 63, requiring a greater focus on individuals with serious mental health and substance use issues.

appellate court panel ruled his attorney didn’t follow Flores’ preferred defense strategy. Flores sought to argue he was not the driver who struck Hunter, while his attorney John Wilschke argued Flores was the driver, but striking Hunter was unintentional.

After the conviction was overturned, Wilschke was appointed to be Flores’ attorney for the retrial over Flores’ objections.

near downtown.

Interfaith’s Turk Center and headquarters are located within the proposed buffer zone, although the organization is safe from the moratorium as long as its CUP remains in place. Interfaith leaders fear the CUP challenge, paired with the moratorium proposal, could be an attempt to reduce or end the organization’s services.

In response, Interfaith seeks to form a citizens' task force on homelessness.

“This task force will do what city leadership has failed to do,” Goverman said. “It will bring together a diversity of perspectives and voices, including business leaders, concerned citizens, faith communities, persons with lived homeless experience, service providers, and

In the ruling overturning his second conviction, a three-justice panel from the Fourth District Court of Appeal wrote that Flores did not receive effective representation in his second trial because his requests for a new attorney were repeatedly overruled and his mistrust and unwillingness to work with Wilschke should have led to the appointment of a new attorney.

if they are willing to participate, city staff and leaders.”

According to the mayor, neither the City Council nor city staff have discussed reducing, limiting, or eliminating services at Interfaith. The moratorium proposal was in response to the county’s shelter proposal, the mayor noted.

“With respect to the CUP violations, compliance is expected of any service provider or business within the city,” White said via email. “Interfaith was made aware of these violations in October and although initially worked with the city towards compliance, cooperation was ultimately lost. Although my request to explore a moratorium coincides with the letter of violations, in reality, the two are unrelated.”

Palomar Health enters new management deal

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO

— In a move to enhance its competitiveness with neighboring private medical providers, Palomar Health’s board of directors has greenlit a controversial management services agreement with a private company.

The hospital’s agreement with Mesa Rock Healthcare Management, approved by a 5-2 board majority on Feb. 29, will see Palomar Health CEO Diane Hansen and her executive team transition to working for the private, nonprofit company instead of directly answering to the board.

Palomar Health says the partnership with Mesa Rock will enable the hospital to affiliate with regional health care partners and

will be completed during nighttime windows twice a week so workers can work safely along the tracks.

Despite its anticipated benefit for the rail, many Del Mar residents remain opposed to the project, particularly the seawalls, stating that they will lead to a loss of sand on the beach and greatly impact public safety and access.

On March 4, residents and city leaders said they want to see access improvements implemented either before or at the same time as

hospital systems, fostering growth in primary medical care, expanding medical and surgical oncology care, improving pediatric care, stabilizing relationships with hospital-based phy-

the seawalls to protect residents.

“The proposed seawalls will block beach access and threaten the safety of surfers and beachgoers if built before vertical access is created, especially at high tide,” said Udo Wahn, a local resident, surfer and vice chair of the San Diego Surfrider Executive Committee.

Under a condition from the California Coastal Commission, SANDAG must complete certain pedestrian access improvements within three years of starting the Phase 5 project. These include an undercrossing at 7th Street to provide access

sician groups, enhancing access to lab medicine, and strengthening the district’s ability to negotiate rates with health plans.

“In light of the financial challenges faced by health-

from the bluff to the beach and an enhanced bluff trail between 4th Street and Seagrove Park.

However, city leaders and many residents are now worried about how these improvements will be funded after the SANDAG board of directors agreed last fall to redirect around $14.7 million in dedicated funds toward other regional projects.

Councilmember Terry Gaasterland said a plan for funding these improvements is needed and suggested that seawall construction be delayed in the meantime.

“The [SANDAG] board

care districts statewide, the Palomar Health board of directors has taken proactive measures to ensure the district’s sustainability,” a statement from the hospital reads. “The agreement with Mesa Rock will position Palomar Health to maintain healthcare as a community asset by addressing financial challenges and facilitating strategic investments.”

Palomar Health is California’s largest public healthcare district, operating independently from city and county governments..

In recent years, many public healthcare districts, including Palomar Health, have grappled with financial crises. Amidst ongoing financial strains exacerbated by the COVID-19 pan-

could continue, theoretically, to not fund the bluff access. We need a way … to push for this to happen,” said Gaasterland.

DeVaux said the schedule for construction is unlikely to change as the contractor chooses it and depends on factors such as which materials can be obtained first.

She assured council members that SANDAG is committed to identifying new funding for the pedestrian access improvements and complying with the three-year timeframe. In the meantime, SANDAG’s current budget of $9 million

demic, hospitals nationwide have faced staffing shortages, escalating labor costs, inflation, supply chain disruptions, and other fiscal obstacles.

Several hospitals in the region have sought partnerships with private medical providers. Last year, the neighboring Tri-City Healthcare District partnered with UC San Diego Health to enhance services. UC San Diego took over TriCity’s property, debt, and staff and formed a new governing board.

Unlike Tri-City, Palomar Health will retain ownership of all its facilities and assets and maintain oversight responsibility for Mesa Rock.

However, critics, including Palomar Health

will fund the preliminary engineering, environmental clearance, and a portion of construction for the project.

“That’s more than enough for us to get through the entirety of design,” DeVaux said. “Our commitment is to get this into construction by Feb. 5, 2027. SANDAG is committed to delivering this project and resolving that funding gap.”

There will also be breaks in the seawalls to preserve current pedestrian access points, she said.

While work is underway on the beach, crews will delineate the areas that are unsafe for the public to access.

board members John Clark and Laurie Edwards-Tate, have raised concerns about the management agreement, fearing it diminishes its authority.

“An elected official cannot relinquish vested power,” Edwards-Tate told The Coast News. “It is not ours to surrender, as it is embedded in the law.”

Mesa Rock will assume responsibility for hiring or firing the healthcare district’s CEO, superseding the board’s authority.

Under the contract terms, the company will receive 1% of net revenue for its operations. Limited information is available about Mesa Rock. Eric Friedlander, CEO of Starpoint Health, established the nonprofit organization last month.

DeVaux said residents can expect construction noise, such as equipment backup alarms and drilling to create holes for the piles that will be placed into the bluff.

She said there will also be lighting on the bluff during night work that faces west toward the ocean rather than toward homes.

The seawalls and other improvements are ultimately temporary structures intended to provide stability until the train tracks can be moved off the Del Mar bluffs and further inland. All of the infrastructure is required to be removed by 2050.

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the le kept by the court.

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

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court

as follows: Date: April 23, 2024; Time: 10:30 AM; in Dept.: 504. Court address: 1100 Union St., San Diego CA 92101, Central Courthouse. https://www.sdcourt.ca.gov/ sdcourt/probate2/probatevh

Court appearances may be made either in person or virtually, unless otherwise ordered by the Court. Virtual appearances must be made using the department’s Microsoft Teams (“MS Teams”) video link; or by calling the department’s MS Teams conference phone number and using the assigned conference ID number. 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.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or le written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must le 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 rst issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as de ned in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may a ect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the le kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may le with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the ling of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in

Probate Code section 1250.

A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Who doesn’t love Pelly’s Fish Market & Café?

Pelly's Fish Market & Café first opened its doors in 1989, and for over 35 years, they have been proudly serving the freshest seafood to the Carlsbad community.

In 2017, Ellie Banna, and her late husband Sam, acquired the business from its previous owner. The following year, in 2018, they made enhancements to the kitchen by adding a fryer. This expansion allowed them to diversify their café offerings and introduce new menu items, such as their incredibly popular fish and chips, a local’s favorite!

“Since taking over after my husband Sam passed away, my team has been incredibly supportive and dedicated to maintaining the legacy of Pelly’s. They care about the business as much as I do,” Ellie explained.

They source their fish and seafood locally from San Diego through five seafood distributors. Their suppliers deliver directly to Pelly’s six days a week, ensuring that they consistently receive the freshest products available.

“Our fish arrives on the ‘round’ (meaning whole). We cut our fillets on site; this allows us to make sure that only the top-quality fish are used in both the fish market and café,” Ellie remarked.

To keep it interesting, they have seasonal variations which typically occur from winter through spring, spanning from mid-Novem-

ber to the end of March.

During this time, customers will see the following seasonal highlights: Alaskan Halibut, King Salmon and who doesn’t love local lobster season!

Ellie stated, “My team and I operate like a tightknit family, dedicated to ensuring each customer's satisfaction. Our goal is for everyone to leave with a smile, feeling valued and appreciated. We genuinely

S p r i n g i n t o

M a r c h M a d n e s s l e s s o n s . S i g n u p n o w a n d c o m p o s e y o u r s y m p h o n y o f s u c c e s s !

care for our customers and strive to make their experience memorable.”

Pelly’s Fish Market operates 24/7, ensuring fresh seafood is prepared and portioned for the kitchen. When a café order is received, the seafood is sourced directly from the market and sent straight to the kitchen for preparation.

This close collaboration enables them to customize orders for their customers.

For instance, while their fish and chips typically features cod, customers can request halibut instead.

Additionally, customers have the option to select their fish, which can then be grilled or fried to their preference and enjoyed for dine-in or taken home for a family dinner. You can also enjoy Pelly’s delicious fare through delivery services like DoorDash and Grubhub.

Some of their most popular menu items include:

• Fish and chips: A classic favorite among customers.

• Shrimp and fish burritos: Known for their generous size and delicious taste.

• Tacos: Available with fish, lobster, or shrimp, and served with your choice of corn or flour tortillas.

• Crab cakes: Made from scratch and highly popular among customers.

• Poke bowl: A fan-favorite, featuring fresh and flavorful ingredients.

• Fresh soups include chowders (red and white) and Ciopinno, a hearty seafood stew.

• Fresh seafood: there is a variety of fresh fish, oysters, and sashimi.

Ellie and Sam are also the owners of Primo’s Pizza and Pasta (next door to Pelly’s), which opened in 1993 at Poinsettia Village, featuring recipes from an Italian chef from Brooklyn. Their commitment to authentic Italian pizza includes preparing everything from scratch, including the dough and meat sauce.

Understanding that the Poinsettia Village customer values healthy food made with quality ingredients, they saw an ideal opportunity to expand their business when the chance arose and they acquired Pelly’s Fish Market & Café.

Ellie shared that, “Poinsettia Village is an exceptional business location, complemented by its proximity to the beach, the center's inviting ambiance, ample parking and expansive outdoor dining area. These factors combine to create an ideal setting for serving the community we know and love.”

Ellie says, “I find joy in walking through the dining room and connecting with customers. Their appreciation for my efforts in preserving my husband’s legacy and maintaining Pelly’s fills me with happiness. Serving the community and ensuring Pelly’s remains true to its roots are my priorities.”

RAIL

CONTINUED FROM 6

ficials recognize that San Clemente’s rail trouble is far from over, with several other sections of the corridor facing instability.

At a meeting of OCTA’s Regional Transportation Planning Committee on March 4, OCTA Program Manager Dan Phu said around $200 million in emergency repairs are needed in the next year to protect other vulnerable areas in San Clemente.

The highest-risk areas targeted for these repairs include the Cyprus Shore site near the San Diego County border, where a separate landslide occurred and shuttered rail service in 2021, and the immediate vicinity of the January recent landslide near Mariposa Bridge.

“It’s not only [milepost] 204.2 that’s been compromised, but it’s really a longer stretch of that area that is susceptible to further landslides,” Phu said, referencing the site of the January landslide.

Proposed projects include installation of boulder riprap and revetment walls west of the tracks to protect them from the ocean waves, and retaining walls east of the tracks to hold back debris from the steep bluff slopes.

In addition, OCTA identified seven sites that are in need of continued monitoring along the LOSSAN corridor from Dana Point south to the San Diego County border. By monitoring more closely, Phu said they hope to avoid further surprise closures.

“These areas do not quite rise to the case of needing immediate attention at this point, but it’s obviously trending in the wrong direction, so something needs to be … looked at, at this point,” Phu said.

The suggestion for more riprap did not satisfy

some board members, who said the beaches need more sand first and foremost.

“What I think is glaringly missing from this study is sand. I guess I’m concerned that our focus predominantly on riprap as a solution is only going to exacerbate the coastal erosion and the removal of the sand from the beaches,” said OCTA board member and Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers did launch a sand restoration project in San Clemente back in December, intended to widen the beach and provide a greater buffer for the rail using sediment from a borrow site in Oceanside.

However, the project was stopped due to poor sand quality, and it’s unclear when work will resume and whether another borrow site will be used.

OCTA has already invested tens of millions of dollars into repairs and stabilization along the rail in San Clemente. In 2023, these costs included nearly $22 million for stabilization and installation of tieback anchors at Cyprus Shore and $6 million to install a temporary barrier wall beneath Casa Romantica.

Costs for OCTA’s emergency repairs and debris cleanup at the Mariposa Point site are roughly $10 million, provided by the state.

As of March 6, trains with renewed service include the Amtrak Surfliner in the morning and evening. Midday service is still stopped while crews continue construction of the wall, anticipated to be completed later this month.

Metrolink service also remains stalled through San Clemente, with weekday service only operating as far south as Laguna Niguel. The weekend Orange County Line service will go as far south as San Juan Capistrano.

Big Bear: A change of seasons

Abandanna is a versatile tool when you’re on the trail. It can wipe sweat, cool the neck, blow the nose, tie up hair, become a hot pad, look cool and do some other things I can’t mention here.

It also can serve as a tourniquet, which is what I needed when I pulled my purple-accented bandanna from the bottom of my backpack during a snowshoeing adventure on Pine Knot Trail in the San Bernardino National Forest, minutes from the town of Big Bear Lake. I had been carrying the unused bandanna for years; this was my chance.

The day was perfect: 48 degrees, clear skies, empty trails and enough snow for snowshoeing, sledding and great photos. Our guide,

Then, returning to the trailhead, my husband slid down a small embankment. No injuries except a nasty abrasion just above the elbow — not serious but bloody. I pulled out the dormant bandanna and applied pressure.

It held well enough until we made a quick visit to Walgreens for real bandages, then it was off to some superb eats at Stella Luna in Big Bear Lake Village. Opened in 2021, the airy, contemporary space, complete with a big screen for watching Big Bear Valley’s bald eagle cam, caters to those who need or prefer gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options.
