ENCINITAS — More than two hundred people gathered near Swami’s State Beach on Sunday to protest the closure of beaches, parks and trails in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The “Freedom Rally” event was organized by Cardiff-by-the-Sea resident Crista Curtis and promoted by Free Encinitas. The public gathering took place after a similar rally against stay-at-home orders was held on Saturday in downtown San Diego. Curtis told CBS 8 she was particularly upset about the city’s recent closure of the Coastal Rail Trail, a paved shared-use path that runs from Santa Fe Drive in Encinitas to Chesterfield Drive and San Elijo Avenue in Cardiff. “There was no need TURN TO PROTEST ON A3

Race organizers weigh opening day without fans By Lexy Brodt
DEL MAR — Opening day at the Del Mar racetrack is one of the biggest local events of the year. Dressed to the nines, wearing ever-larger hats, thousands flood the Del Mar Fairgrounds to watch the first horse race of the season. But this year, amid the COVID-19 pandemic? The horses may still run, but it remains a looming question of whether fans will be there to watch them. “We’re going to do whatevHORSES MAY STILL run on opening day at the Del Mar racetrack, but the question remains whether fans will be there to watch them.

Crews repair sinkhole caused by record rainfall
Spa owner faces fraud charges for COVID-19 ‘cure’
By Steve Puterski
CARLSBAD — Epic rains during the week of April 6-10 resulted in a giant sinkhole in Carlsbad. During the April 10 storm, which dumped 3.45 inches of rain, according to the National Weather Service, a 21-inch sewage pipe ruptured and led to a massive sinkhole in a parking lot in the 6300 block of Yarrow Drive on April 12. A parked van was consumed by the sinkhole, although the owner, a transient, was not injured, according to Elmer Alex, Vista’s sewer engineer division manager. The pipeline is owned by the Buena Vista Sanitation District, an entity of the city of Vista. On April 16, the Vista City Council held a special meeting to approve $575,000 in repairs, which began on April 12. “We are fortunate it did not cause a spill and the driver was able to remove himself from the vehicle,” Alex said during the special meeting. “If a spill had occurred, the city may have been subject to a fine. The vehicle had been parked illegally in the lot. It is believed to be a transient vehicle.” Alex said sewer meters had high peaks of 7,000 gallons per minute during the storm, leading to unstable soil and the break. Due to stay-at-home orders because
CARMEL VALLEY — A physician who runs a Carmel Valley beauty treatments center was charged April 16 with mail fraud in connection with the sale of what he allegedly described as a coronavirus cure that could render people immune to the virus for at least six weeks. Jennings Ryan Staley, 44, operates Skinny Beach Med Spa, which late last month began sending emails advertising “COVID-19 treatment packs,” described as a “concierge medicine experience” priced at $3,995 for a family of four, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Diego. The service was touted as including, among other things, access to Staley, the medications hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, and “anti-anxiety treatments to help you avoid panic if needed and help you sleep.” The FBI launched an investigation into Staley’s alleged fraudulent claims upon receiving a tip from the public and served a search warrant this morning at his Carmel Mountain Road business procedures.

of the COVID-19 pandemic, the district is averaging 3 million gallons of sewage per day, an increase of 1.2 million gallons per day before the orders. Repairs, though, were delayed a bit when 40,000 gallons of residual water were unknowingly released by construction crews, according to the site superintendent. The water was in
an abandoned pipe, which was then pumped out. The hole is 30 feet deep and crews have expanded the site hole around the original sinkhole according to safety regulations as they moved in heavy equipment and began cementing the floor with 12 inches of concrete on April 17. Work was completed on April 20, although crews must com-
plete some additional repairs, Alex said. The outflow pipe carries raw sewage, which then is pumped to a treatment facility on Avenida Encinas before being expelled into the Pacific Ocean, according to Vicki Quiram, general manager of the Carlsbad Municipal Water District. Crews, though, ran numerous temporary lines and
two pumps to bypass the sewage water to another manhole and back into the system. “We share ownership in multiple wastewater facilities,” Quiram said. “Some of our pipes connect into the line.” The cost, meanwhile, will come from the district’s reserves fund, which is currently at $13 million.

Blakespear discusses protests, reopening beaches, trails By Caitlin Steinberg
ENCINITAS — Following stay-at-home protests in San Diego and Encinitas over the weekend, Mayor Catherine Blakespear held a Facebook Live session to address several issues, including the reopening of the Coastal Rail Trail and beaches. Blakespear said the Coastal Rail Trail along Highway 101 will reopen to the public this week with additional signage enforcing social distancing and personal protective equipment, such as face masks. The decision to open the trail was made prior to the rally on April 19. “Closing the trail was a reset,” Blakespear told The Coast News. “There was too much crowding. We wanted people to reestablish their habits near their home, in their neighborhoods and to not drive to their daily walk.” Blakespear continued, outlining a proposed threephase process to open access to the ocean, beaches and parking lots — in that order — in the coming weeks. “I want to open it as soon as possible,” Blakespear said. “It seems to me the risk of [contracting COVID] is the lowest in the ocean because people are, by nature, 6 feet apart. It’s completely reasonable for

to close the [Coastal] Rail Trail,” Curtis said. “It’s time to start opening the beaches back up.” Protestors of all ages carried U.S. flags and held handmade signs urging city leaders to ease the stay-at-home orders and open public beaches, parks and trails. Deputies kept watch to make sure participants were practicing safe distancing measures, and no citations were issued, San Diego County Sheriff's Department officials said. In a joint statement released on April 20 by the San Diego County Sheriff and San Diego Police Department, law enforcement officials wrote: “Although the protests were allowed to take place, we must not forget the public health orders were put in place to protect our communities from the spread of COVID-19. While no citations were issued at the protests, that does not mean prosecution will not be sought, especially to the organizers of these events.” Numerous passing cars honked and waved at the crowd, including an Encinitas Fire Department truck. Some of the signs held by protestors read, "Your fear doesn't remove my rights," "This is punishment, not protection," "Saltwater is safe" and "Xi Jinping = Newsom." Encinitas resident Paul Tornillo attended the rally with his wife, April, and daughter Zoe. Tornillo said he felt the some of the closures and

said. Additional factors include considering the size of beach access points. Many narrow wooden staircases found on northern Encinitas beaches are incapable of supporting social distancing guidelines, while entrances at Moonlight Beach are wide enough to accommodate beachgoers. This will impact which entrances will be accessible to the public. “The beaches will be opened to active recreation only,” Blakespear said. “Walking, running, and potentially biking on the beach will be allowed but not laying out, having a party or sitting in a group.” Regulations will be enforced by authorities, Blakespear said. The final phase is to reopen parking lots adjacent to the beach. While the timing and implementation of these phases are not concrete, local officials will base all decisions on the most current data reported by county health officials. If San Diego County experiences an unexpected spike in COVID cases, public areas may be closed once again. Blakespear also addressed recent protests in Encinitas, expressing her disappointment and dismay
over not just the manner in which protesters conducted themselves, but also the lack of response by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. Despite an estimated 200 people attending, deputies did not issue any citations to protestors clearly violating social distancing guidelines. Just two weeks prior, near that very same location, Encinitas police ticketed families and individuals sitting in their cars watching the sunset. “[Encinitas’] law enforcement agencies will be much better prepared [in the future] and also have clarity about what it is they are [enforcing] … about what is acceptable, at the very least how to be dispersing people … and how to apply that evenly.” Such clarity will be needed in the coming weeks as local law enforcement enforces the gradual reopening of public spaces. Blakespear compared the nearly 200 protesters’ disrespect for the law to those who remained home. “It is quite selfish for people to be completely violating stay-at-home orders,” Blakespear said. “People are sacrificing and really suffering. People are out of work, small businesses are closed … and health care
workers are putting their own health at risk on the front lines. “There is a way to exercise your First Amendment and freedom of assembly rights … while also maintaining distance from other people, wearing facial coverings and abiding by the social contract.” Protestors eventually marched along Coast Highway 101 from Swami’s to Blakespear’s home. “I [found] it to be a violation and invasion of my own privacy,” Blakespear said. “It definitely frightened my children to have a hundred people taunting me to come out, trying to somehow engage me on a Sunday at my private home.” Blakespear said she was not given any warning from law enforcement that the walking protesters were headed to her personal residence. “I would encourage anybody who wants to protest to do it at City Hall, in a controlled way,” Blakespear said. Blakespear has held multiple such Facebook Live sessions during the coronavirus pandemic, in which she gives further details on city regulations and decision-making, as well as answers to live questions from residents at facebook. com/cblakespear.
people to safely get back in the water.” County officials are responsible for the health order that closed public access to beaches until April 30, not individual coastal cities. While the county has not officially committed to allowing water access starting May 1, Blakespear said it appears county and local officials are aiming to review the health order at that time. She further acknowledged initial beach closures last month were “disorganized and chaotic,” which left certain beaches vulnerable to large crowds. Future decisions will likely be made in unison with all
coastal communities. “We don’t want just one city to open their beaches alone,” Blakespear said. “If Encinitas were to open their beaches on their own, we could be completely overrun by beachgoers from all across the county.” Not only will coastal mayors, city councilmembers, county health officials and law enforcement influence the process of opening access to beaches, but also local marine safety officers and lifeguards. “They are on the front lines of water rescues and crowd management. How we unroll regulations and opening procedures is going to be based on their recommendations,” Blakespear
health restrictions were too harsh, infringing on people’s civil liberties and freedom. “We got to have a more measured response,” Tornillo told The Coast News. “This virus is very serious, but our leadership has acted out of hysteria and fear.” After approximately one hour, the group began marching along South Coast Highway 101 before eventually arriving at Mayor Catherine Blakespear’s house, with some carrying signs that said “Recall Blakespear” and “Blakespear is non-essential,” according to wire reports. The protests against stay-at-home restrictions in San Diego and Encinitas were among several nationwide demonstrations happening over the weekend in Olympia, Washington; Springfield, Illinois; and Denver, among other cities. On April 19, San Diego County health officials reported 55 new cases of individuals infected with COVID-19, bringing the total of confirmed cases in the county to 2,268 with 71 deaths. Of the total positive cases, about 24% have required hospitalization and about 8% have needed intensive care, officials said. According to county health statistics, there have been 34 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Encinitas and no deaths. At the time of publication, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Oceanside, Vista, Escondido and San Marcos have combined for a total of 281 cases of coronavirus, according to county data.

I Leaving public wealth unmined
I
By Dan Brendel
recently read “The Public Wealth of Cities,” which argues that municipalities should boost public investment by tapping more value latent in their real estate and commercial assets. “Cities that have a good understanding of the assets they own and that govern them well to help develop the city and earn a return, can spend and invest more without raising taxes,” the authors write. “Unlocking public assets should be a core urban renewal strategy.” Intrigued, I researched my home city of Oceanside. Indeed, Oceanside potentially leaves substantial public wealth unmined. Even while implementing “cost containment” measures and new taxes to address the fact, as financial forecasts observe, that “[o]ver the past decade, revenues have not kept pace with growing costs associated with providing municipal services and facilities.” A coronavirus-induced fiscal squeeze will only exacerbate this deeper structural problem. With budget season and local elections approaching, public officials should prioritize optimizing the city’s capital assets — especially its sizable real estate portfolio. The same undoubtedly goes for other municipalities; indeed, scores of strictly local/regional public agencies, including districts and authorities of all sorts, control tens of thousands of acres countywide. While the Oceanside city government owns over 2,200 acres (excluding roads and river segments), making it the jurisdiction’s largest property owner by far, it’s hard to know those properties’ full worth. Following government accounting norms, Oceanside values capital assets at book value: the original acquisition cost, minus (except for land) “depreciation,” a dubiously termed accounting device. But this method doesn’t reflect market value: what
someone would actually pay today for real property, which has likely appreciated enormously. In turn, it can’t fully reflect usable net worth — equity or revenue-generating capacity, which the city could sell for profit or borrow against. The $90 million valuation of city land reported in the city’s financial statements doubtfully captures market potential even remotely. On average, Oceanside land alone (not including improvements) yields about $530,000 in assessments per acre, according to county tax parcel data, which I analyzed using mapping software. Just 122 acres of large commercial land assess at $118 million. The city’s statements note that assessments represent “the only data currently available with respect to the actual market value,” despite the “limitations” of state-imposed caps — i.e., true market values would frequently be much greater. Even if the city shifted to market valuation, it’d still need to evaluate assets’ prices relative to demand under alternative land use scenarios. “[S]ome governments are in a unique position to affect highest and best use [value maximization] through their ability to change what is legally permissible,” says the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. “However, the presumption is that a government’s use of … property as it is currently zoned is its highest and best use.” Without routinely upto-date comparative market analyses, that presumption lacks justification. We should quantify the unrealized wealth that a local government might conjure simply by unrestricting land use, and thus the relative value of alternatives. For example, Oceanside land zoned for multifamily or condos assesses at $1.8 million ($3.5 million, with improvements) per acre on average; versus about $27,000 ($55,000, with im-
provements) per acre for city-owned land, including taxable private uses. San Diego’s Otay Mesa Enhanced Infrastructure Finance District reckons new multifamily units would assess at up to $325,000 each; versus $1.50 per square foot for the same land left undeveloped. So it plans to increase multifamily units sixfold, among other development, piling $970 million of cumulative tax increment revenues into infrastructure. Oceanside conducts market-based alternatives analyses sometimes. The example below articulates at least plausible trade-off costs. We should measure and communicate all public asset management decisions similarly — as a matter of course on the balance sheet, not ad hoc and buried in voluminous reports, where common citizens (like me writing this article) would have great difficulty finding them. • In 2012, the city entertained residential-and-commercial redevelopment of the publicly owned Center City Golf Course, which could’ve yielded $80 million of tax basis, not including sale/lease profit. Instead, the city maintained the golf course use, which yields $530,000 in assessments. • In 2015, the city sold an acre portion of a downtown parking lot to a developer for about $460,000. That land, now residential-over-retail, assesses at $4 million ($13 million, with improvements). • In 2014, the city agreed to sell two downtown blocks to a hotel developer for $1.5 million. The hotel is still under construction; county data don’t yet show an assessed value. But another nearby hotel assesses at $15 million ($65 million, with improvements). The new development will yield some $31 million in total net new taxes over the next 15 years, according to a city report. Dan Brendel is an Oceanside resident
saw the protests on TV today. A hundred or so people gathered near Swami’s protesting the closure of local beaches and trails. [See story on Page A1.] They held up placards professing the right to assemble. Others demanded the beaches be reopened. One declared that surfing was his life and religion. On the one hand, they have a point. Civic life has to reopen at some point. We can all agree on that. But as I listened, I realized that these people weren’t defending American rights. They were defending only their right to the personal individual liberty to do as they please. They were out for themselves, not us. I am confident that the man holding the First Amendment banner wasn’t a real student of the Constitution or our founding beliefs. If he were, he would know that Life ranks ahead of Liberty, both in our Declaration of Independence
and in practical life. You can’t have liberty if you’re not around to experience it. Anyone who has a compromised immune system or other health factors that make this pandemic so deadly gets that. Why couldn’t he? Then there was the lady who was tired of the beaches being closed. “It’s been long enough,” she said. Really? Has it been long enough because you have studied the science and the data? Or is it because you have been discomforted for far too long, say four weeks? Can’t the greater good of our society keep you entertained by Netflix for just a little longer? There really are lives at stake. Lastly, there was the surfer whose life depended on his worship of the waves. I get it. I love to be in the water too. But seriously, your religion? Churches have closed, most voluntarily. Why? Because they want their congregations to be able to come back one day. Until then, worship alone or with close family. That is a
real virtue. What really got to me the most was that none — zero — of these people expressed a single interest in the people who are really hurting. The average hourly wage earner who has lost his or her job and all income until this pestilence fades. The tireless health care workers, emergency management professionals (police, firefighters) and others who are truly essential to our society that willingly risk themselves for our greater good. The list goes on. If any of you had protested for them, we would all be with you, even if from a safe distance. I would be concerned for our society if these people represented a majority, or even a significant segment of our area, California, or the nation. Thankfully, they do not. So, for everyone out there doing the right thing, Thank You. Mark J. Desens Carlsbad
Solana Beach sets example on flavored tobacco Dear Editor: Action by the City of Solana Beach passing a flavored tobacco products ban on April 8 should be an example for cities throughout our coastal region. This ban will have a significantly positive public health impact, especially on youth and particularly during this time of COVID-19. It hopefully sets an example for all North Coastal communities, because what one city does impacts the next. If unavailable
in one community, kids or those who buy for them, will certainly search out where they can get it. Flavored tobacco products have become increasingly popular; 1.5 million more youth used e-cigarettes in 2019 than the previous year, according to the FDA, and 81% cited the availability of appealing flavors as the primary reason for e-cigarette use. At the same time, medical experts say use of flavored tobacco products and e-cigarettes impacts
learning, memory, attention, and increases risk for future addiction to other drugs. Use of nicotine, marijuana, THC, and cannabinoid vaping products causes EVALI, lung injury, and lung lesions, and makes users more vulnerable to infection and COVID-19. I urge other cities to enact similar bans. A united front would have far-reaching health benefits. Peggy Walker Solana Beach

County COVID-19 cases approach 2,500, deaths near 100 By City News Service
REGION — San Diego County health officials reported 57 new COVID-19 cases and nine additional deaths April 22, raising the county's totals to 2,491 confirmed cases and 96 deaths. The nine deceased — three women and six men, ranging in age from 38 to 99 — all had underlying health issues, said Dr. Eric McDonald, the county's director of epidemiology and immunizations. The county has reported 24 deaths from the respiratory illness over a two-day period, the deadliest twoday stretch since the coronavirus outbreak began. McDonald said the seeming uptick in deaths may not indicate much about the direction the pandemic is taking locally. Calling deaths a “lagging indicator,” he noted that physicians have eight days to file death certificates and the nine deaths reported Wednesday occurred over a four-day period from last Friday through Monday. Deaths are not being used as an indicator to make decisions such as when to loosen or lift public health orders, McDonald said. The number of hospitalizations from COVID-19 rose to 611 on Wednesday, and the number of patients being treated in intensive care units climbed to 206, representing increases of 19 and seven, respectively, from Tuesday.
ANY PLAN TO REOPEN includes gradual phases of openings that include social distancing, facial coverings and a maintained ban on groups outside of the same household. Courtesy photo
The county and regional hospitals have now completed more than 36,000 tests, with a positive test rate of around 6.8%. The county estimates that 1,434 people have recovered from COVID-19, but it does not have an exact,verifiable recovery number. Of all positive-testing coronavirus cases, 24.5% of the patients have been hospitalized and 8.3% sent to intensive care. Nearly 4% of COVID-19 patients have died, a rate higher than most jurisdictions are reporting. “This is one of several indicators that there are undiagnosed cases in our com-
munity,” McDonald said. Of the 96 people who have died of the disease, 51 have been white, 28 Latino and nine Asian. The race of four of the deceased is unknown. Despite the increases in positive cases and deaths, the county is preparing for a path to reopen some outdoor spaces sooner rather than later. Board of Supervisors Chairman Greg Cox said Tuesday that he county was working in conjunction with municipalities throughout the region to create plans for parks, beaches, golf courses and other public outdoor
Escondido’s aid to homeless gets results By Tigist Layne
ESCONDIDO — As the public learns more about the nature of the coronavirus, one thing has become clear: The virus is most harmful to those who are most vulnerable. This includes people 65 years and older, people with underlying health conditions and people who generally may be more exposed to it than others. One group that has raised concerns at the state, county and city levels is the homeless population. In San Diego County, there are about 5,000 individuals without housing. The city of Escondido has around 400 homeless individuals. About half of those are considered “sheltered homeless,” and the other roughly 240 individuals are unsheltered homeless individuals. Because of efforts by the county and the region, the coronavirus is not adversely affecting the homeless the way the Hepatitis A outbreak did in 2017. “When Hepatitis A happened, everything was all about, ‘What are you doing for the homeless?’ because that’s where the disease was most afflicting. This is not the same,” Deputy City Manager William Wolfe said. “Nonetheless, common sense tells us that if you’re living outdoors, you’re probably living in less sanitary conditions than those who are living indoors, which
means you are at a higher risk than the average person.” To address these concerns, the county has provided 2,000 motel rooms for homeless individuals, 80 of which are in Escondido. These rooms, managed by Interfaith Community Services, provide shelter for

those who are considered to be high-risk or for anyone exhibiting symptoms and needs to be quarantined. The city has also provided hygiene kits to homeless individuals that include bottled water, hand sanitizer, wipes and toilet paper; park bathrooms are being cleaned and sanitized more frequently; and cloth face masks, donated by Palomar Health, have been given to every individual in the city without housing. The Escondido Police Department’s Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (COPPS) unit has also been utilized during the crisis to locate
individuals without housing. The specialized unit helps determine if individuals are either in a highrisk group or are COVID-19 symptomatic in order to shelter them in one of the county-provided motel rooms. Interfaith Community Services, which is headquartered in Escondido, has partnered with the city in many of these efforts, as well as extending the hours of their Escondido shelter, Haven House, and providing free to-go meals for anyone in the community who needs them. “There are people in the community who can’t ‘shelter-at-home.’ The sad reality is that there are many whose options are very limited,” Interfaith CEO Greg Anglea said. “It just highlights, that 365 days a year, even in the good times, there are thousands of people in our community who live on our streets.” These widespread efforts to limit the spread of the virus within the homeless population seem to be working, according to both Wolfe and Anglea. “There’s not a real high number of homeless individuals that have contracted the virus; however, it’s still important to do these things above and beyond, because they need our help above and beyond,” Wolfe said. “Somebody has to look out for them and make sure they have access to resources, and that’s where we come in.”
spaces to open — with some catches. Any plan to reopen — being considered only after the April “month of action” has ended — includes gradual phases of openings including social distancing, facial coverings and a maintained ban on groups outside of the same household. Supervisor Nathan Fletcher warned that opening the county’s public spaces up with no restrictions too soon would cause a second spike of cases and deaths — and that’s only if the county has reached the peak of cases and deaths, which he said is not clear.
“When we reopen, it will not be a political decision and it will not be an emotional decision,” Fletcher said. Wooten said the county would measure five metrics when weighing listing public health orders. Those metrics, designed by the federal government, are: — a downward trend in influenza-like illnesses; — a downward trend in COVID-like illnesses; — a downward trend in percentage of total tests turning up positive for COVID-19; — treating patients with a normal level of staff and resources and not using emergency resources; — robust testing in place for at-risk health care workers. The proportion of positive test cases has been on a downward trend for the past two weeks, Wooten said, as have the number of influenza-like illnesses — with 3% of emergency department visits fitting that category, down from 10% in mid-March. However, the trend of COVID-like illnesses has either plateaued or is increasing slightly, at a little more than 3.5% of emergency room visits. Currently, the region’s hospitals are about 68% full, Wooten said, only about 7% of which involve either COVID-19 positive or under investigation cases.
A 250-bed field hospital is being set up at Palomar Medical Center. The extra beds will increase the region’s ability to cope with a surge of COVID-19 patients and will be set up on the vacant 10th and 11th floors of the Escondido hospital. In National City, all community members must wear face coverings “anytime they leave their home and are in public settings,” effective today, according to a statement from city officials. The city council unanimously passed an emergency order Tuesday mandating the practice amid the COVID-19 pandemic, making National City the first city to do so in San Diego County. Riverside County was the first in California to make face coverings mandatory earlier this month.

Oceanside OKs stopgap $1.18 million business loan program By Samantha Nelson
OCEANSIDE — The City Council approved a $1.18 million loan program on April 22 to provide shortterm gap funding to businesses until they receive federal funding. Staff created the loan program after receiving direction from the council on April 1. San Diego County health officials issued a series of orders beginning March 16 that ordered closure of dine-in restaurants, bars, event spaces and nightclubs until eventually expanding to all non-essential businesses. Many businesses in Oceanside are
struggling financially as a result. The federal Small Business Administration offers loans to small businesses affected by disasters like the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of the high volume of applications coming from all over the country, many businesses are still waiting for federal financial help as the SBA continues to process those applications. On April 16, SBA announced appropriation for the financial help had been exhausted. City staff reached out to several businesses to see where they stood in the process. So far, 22 businesses
have applied for the SBA COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program, with only one approved as of April 8 but not yet funded and two more having received their loan advance on April 14. There were 17 businesses that applied for the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), with only one business being approved as of April 16. Due to the delay in receiving federal funds, several council members wanted to get cash to businesses as soon as possible while they wait.
The program allocates $1.18 million from the General Fund interest earnings, an amount than could assist a minimum of 59 local businesses. The program’s framework will include loans ranging from $2,500 to $20,000. Loans between $2,500 and $5,000 will have zero interest, and loans from $5,001 to $10,000 will have 1.5% interest if repaid in 180 days. Loans from $10,001 to $20,000 will have 2.5% interest if repaid within 180 days, 3% if repaid within one year, and 3.25% if repaid within two years. The program will apply
to independently owned, consumer-oriented businesses in retail sales and consumer services that are located in Oceanside and were mandated to close or significantly alter business activity due to COVID-19. The businesses must be open to the general public without age restrictions. The loans will only be made available to businesses that have applied for SBA or EIDL funding but have not received disbursements. Councilmember Chris Rodriguez has been pushing for the small business loan program since the April 1 council meeting. Rodriguez originally asked for
$3 million for the program and said at the April 22 meeting that he would like to see the approved $1.18 million as “phase one.” City Treasurer Victor Roy and his office did not support the business loan program due to the “high risk” it has on the city’s future financial status, and suggested the council wait until its budget meeting on April 29 before considering such a program. The program was approved 4-1, with Councilmember Esther Sanchez opposed. Like Roy, she expressed concern regarding how such a program could affect the city.
South Carlsbad Beach to get grant funding CARLSBAD — In honor of Earth Day, the California State Parks Foundation and its sponsors announced $75,000 in grant funding for state parks, including two San Diego County parks in need of funding. South Carlsbad State Beach and the Old Town San Diego State Historic Park were among the 21 parks selected for the grant funding. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many parks have closed to the public or are limiting visitors, significantly impacting revenue sources. “On most Earth Days we’d be outside, celebrating, protecting and enhancing the irreplaceable natural treasures around us, but this Earth Day, while we all shelter in place, we’re doing everything we can to support our state parks from home,” said Rachel Norton, CSPF executive director. “Immediate grant funding for California’s state parks will help to bridge the gaps brought on by this pandemic.” For more than 20 years, California State Parks Foundation’s annual Earth Day celebrations have raised nearly $7 million, attracting nearly 90,000 participants volunteering more than 355,000 hours, officials said. Volunteers perform park maintenance tasks, like restoring natural ecosystems and trail improvements, totaling nearly $7.3 million in park improvements. Sponsors include United Airlines, Edison International, the PG&E Foundation Corporation, Target and Blue Shield of California. “The reality is, in addition to the financial hardships we’re all feeling, state parks already have more than $1 billion in deferred maintenance costs that have yet to be addressed,” said Holly Martinez, director of programs and advocacy for CSPF. “Green spaces have proven to be a place of reprieve while we all shelter in place and we hope everyone from home joins us today in celebrating our earth and the spaces we’ve been gifted.” — City News Service
THE DESIGN FOR the rebuild of Del Mar Heights elementary school has drawn some criticism in the community, with local organizations forming to oppose a decrease in the school’s main playfield. At an April 14 meeting, teachers and parents urged the Del Mar Union School District board to move forward with the plan, regardless. Visual courtesy of BakerNowicki Design Studio
Residents urge approval of Del Mar Heights rebuild By Lexy Brodt
DEL MAR — Well over a dozen parents, teachers and students urged the Del Mar Union School District Board of Trustees to move forward with approving the Del Mar Heights School rebuild at an April 14 meeting. Most speakers addressed their concerns about recent hints of litigation, sparked by conflicts over the district’s environmental impact (or CEQA) process and the size of the proposed rebuild’s green space. The board stands to give the project a final stamp of approval in early to mid-May. “The time to rebuild is now, we cannot wait,” said teacher and parent Cristin Strain, among the majority to speak in favor of the proposed design. “Our aging, fractured facilities cannot continue to accommodate our students’ needs, nor can our district afford to pay the $4 million in fees that would result if the rebuild were stalled by a lawsuit.” Aimed at rebuilding the oldest school in the district, the approximately $45 million project has been in the works for years. The rebuild was one of the motivating factors behind Measure MM — a bond measure approved by voters in 2018 to secure funding for school facility improvement projects in the district. Workshops began in
spring of 2019, with architect group BakerNowicki conducting several community meetings over the course of the year. The process led to a proposed design that shifts most of the elementary school’s classrooms to the eastern portion of the 10.85-acre property, with green areas spread throughout the school. It also introduces a lengthy queuing area onsite, and nearly doubles the amount of existing parking spaces. The school’s green space would be increased by about 1,500 square feet. However, the main playfield would see a significant drop in size — a point of great contention among some parents and locals. In fact, such concerns yielded two organizations — Play Outside Del Mar and Save the Field, as well as a petition signed by over 2,000 aimed at saving the school’s existing green space. Tension reached its peak in March, when the organizations — or in Save the Field’s case, their legal representation — submitted lengthy comments in response to the school’s mitigated negative declaration (MND). Required by the state’s Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), such a document essentially spells out how the district plans to mitigate the project’s impacts until they reach a point of insignificance.
The two letters asserted the district is circumventing the environmental review process, and that the decrease in green space and the perceived resulting wildfire risk at hand should trigger the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) — which, in
The time to rebuild is now, we cannot wait.” Cristin Strain 5th grade teacher
contrast to an MND, anticipates impacts that cannot be fully mitigated and maps them out. The organizations were joined in their concern by the Sierra Club’s North County Coastal Group, which wrote a letter addressing the site’s “particularly sensitive location” next to the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve and called for greater consideration for the project’s impacts. During the virtual meeting, John Gartman, a representative with Play Outside Del Mar, said the organization mostly takes issue with the wildfire risks at play. Gartman asserts that the new site design “aggressively changes it for the worse.” “The site aggressively
changes the fire road situation, the evacuation road situation, the fire space buffer situation … and the buildings are all moved closer to the reserve,” he said, urging that an evacuation time study should be done. “Despite the legal requirements to study all of these things, the MND doesn’t address a single one of them.” Several parents pointed out that the organizations’ letters were reminiscent of a very recent lawsuit against the Cardiff School District — in which an organization called Save the Park sued and won a settlement against the district, asserting a failure to study the true impacts of the Cardiff School rebuild. Procopio — the firm that sent the letter on Save the Field’s behalf — also represented Save the Park in the Cardiff lawsuit. “We have seen what happened in Cardiff and we definitely don’t want money siphoned off from a school rebuild to line the pockets of attorneys,” said parent Jesse Barrick. The Del Mar Union School District board had a closed session meeting on April 7 to address the letters with legal counsel. There has been no formal legal action at this time. Chris Delehanty, the district’s executive director of capital programs & technology, told The Coast News that a mitigated negative
declaration is the norm for many school district projects, particularly for projects of this nature. “You don’t usually see districts doing an EIR on a school that would be the same size or smaller,” Delehanty said. During the April 14 meeting, teachers and students alike lamented the conditions of the current school — where many of the classes take place in portable buildings with no running water and no sprinkler system for fire safety. Some of the classrooms have had to be evacuated in the past due to rat infestations. District Board Member Scott Wooden said the potential litigation “may just be a redirect to continue a delay.” “I do not see changes to the design if an EIR is approved or if a lawsuit is initiated,” Wooden said. “Instead I see the students being offsite next year while certain aspects of the EIR are done, plus an additional year while the current design is built.” According to Delehanty, if the board approves the project in May, it will need to come before the Division of the State Architect before building can begin in 2020. Students would likely be back on the new site in fall of 2021. Students would continue their classes at other schools in the district for the duration of construction.

Boys & Girls Clubs serves kids remotely FIND SCRATCHY By Samantha Nelson
OCEANSIDE — Like many schools and other after-school programs, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oceanside have switched its programming for youth and adults with disabilities to virtual settings. Boys & Girls Clubs of Oceanside offers after-school programming and camps to children that help stimulate their academics as well as their social learning skills. Typically, the club is open every day during nonschool hours, a time the club believes children need its services the most. According to the club’s website, statistics show that juvenile crime escalates between 3 and 7 p.m. The club’s goal is to keep Oceanside kids, primarily those from low-income families, out of trouble by engaging them in academics and other activities. The club is all-inclusive to children, Executive Director Jodi Diamond said, adding that about 83% of the more than 4,200 youth the club serves annually qualify for free and reduced lunch at school. Many of the club’s kids also come from military families who experience their own unique set of challenges. “We serve a tender population,” Diamond said. In addition to its youth programs, the club also has its Real Option for Adults with Disabilities (ROADS) program. Partnering with the San Diego Regional Center, the club provides

daytime enrichment activities for developmentally disabled adults in North County throughout the week. In mid-March, when schools and businesses were ordered to close, the club quickly began switching its programming to a virtual capacity beginning with the ROADS program. Diamond said she has a “skeleton crew” of six management staff and seven ROADS staff members working to serve its members. She has also been able to bring back some directors and additional staff. The club is working to reach its members virtually as well as by phone. Diamond said many members don’t have internet access and can’t all necessarily join in on the club’s weekly Zoom and Google Hangout sessions. Director of Operations Hillary Adams said the club has been able to break some of those barriers. Though a

child may not be able to join in one of the virtual sessions due to another responsibility, like taking care of a younger sibling, they can tune into the club’s YouTube channel for daily activities including the sciences, math, art projects, fitness, nutritional information and more. Though the club can’t reach all of the nearly 1,400 children it was serving daily with its eight school locations, Adams said all 28 of its ROADS members are now participating in its virtual program, which includes fitness activities with minimal equipment and les-
sons in self-advocacy, community safety, nutritional information, sign language and more. “We worked with every parent to support that access,” Adams said. Diamond explained that the club is aiming to provide some normalcy to its members through these virtual hangouts and outreach efforts, especially when they get to see their instructors’ and friends’ faces. “They’re excited to see their friends,” Diamond said. Diamond said the club hopes to bring back its hot meal program at the beginning of May in a to-go capacity. This program will help to supplement the days when the schools’ to-go hot meals are unavailable. The club will also hand out books with its togo meals as part of a book drive in partnership with the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center. Diamond said the club is going to operate its programs virtually for a while. Though restrictions may start to lift next month, the club will still need to practice social distancing.

Communication in the Time of COVID Navigating these difficult times of social distancing is challenging for everyone. Add hearing loss into the mix, and some situations can become downright daunting. Essential outings to the grocery store, post office and the like all require some degree of interaction with others. To cut through the frustration and help everyone get through this together, no matter your degree of hearing, we’ve assembled a list of helpful tips for when you find yourself trying to communicate while following the six-foot social distancing rule. BE HONEST “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you because I have some hearing loss. Can you speak a little slower?” Talking about your hearing loss helps to improve many situations by reminding the speaker of the communication difficulty caused by hearing loss.
CLARIFICATION Guess and ask for clarification if you don’t understand what someone said: “I’m sorry, I did not understand—Did you say…?” To help clarify, try to ask specific questions rather than say “huh” or “what.” Never pretend to understand.
FACE-2-FACE Watch the face, especially the lips of the person with whom you are communicating.
RELAX Try to stay relaxed when you experience difficulty understanding someone. Don’t try to understand every word. Ask questions if needed or ask the speaker to repeat. Don’t give up!
LOCATION Move conversations to a quieter area (away from background noise), if at all possible. If you can’t leave the room, try standing near a wall.

Encinitas-based Passion 4 Life provides life-changing vitamins while also helping young children Roughly 76 years ago, Charles Van Kessler’s life changed in unimaginable ways. Born in Holland during World War II, the now-Encinitas resident Van Kessler said his Jewish father and Catholic mother were dragged away from him by Nazis when he was just a toddler. Van Kessler said he was later placed in an orphanage before living on the streets of Amsterdam. “After I came to America, I was in terrible shape physically,
mentally and emotionally,” Van Kessler said. “I took a handful of vitamin pills and never felt any better. Then, I learned most hard pills only absorb 10 to 20 percent while liquid absorbs up to 98 percent directly into your bloodstream within three minutes of ingestion.” With that knowledge in mind, Van Kessler created Passion 4 Life, a liquid vitamin unlike any other.

Unemployment grows as economic slowdown lengthens Store workers REGION — The San Diego Workforce Partnership released data on April 16 showing layoffs in the last month and a half in the San Diego region have exceeded 20 times the average yearly number. Usually by the end of the year — since 2015 — between 3,000 and 7,000 workers are laid off in some capacity in the county. In March and April, nearly 50,000 workers lost their jobs, according to the partnership. A total of 46,217 employees have lost jobs at 326 businesses reporting layoffs related to COVID-19, an increase of 13,500 jobs and 102 businesses from last week's data. These numbers come from businesses that self-report and may not represent the true impact to workers and employers in the region, a partnership document stated.

Businesses help fight national crisis By Samantha Nelson
OCEANSIDE — While many local businesses have closed due to the COVID-19 quarantine, others are staying in operation to provide products that are either helping people to stay safe during the pandemic or are helping people to recover from the disease. One of those businesses is PRYOR Products, a company based in Oceanside that makes IV and ventilator mobility stands. The company has continued making ventilator mobility stands for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under direction from the White House. According to Purchasing Manager Bob Chuzas, PRYOR Products sells its stands to the companies that make ventilators. Many patients who have COVID-19, particularly the more extreme cases, rely on these ventilators to help them breathe. “Those ventilators can’t go anywhere without one of our ventilator mobility stands,” Chuzas said. The stands are somewhat famous, too. In most television or movie hospital scenes, a PRYOR Product IV or ventilator mobility stand can typically be found, Chuzas said. Right now, the stands are in high demand. Chuzas said the average order is between 1,000 to 2,500 ventilator stands, but recently PRYOR Products has started working with General Motors who asked for 200,000 stands. General Motors even bought a license that would allow the company to make the stands in its Indiana plant. By staying open to

make ventilator mobility stands, PRYOR Products has been able to keep its 500 employees working as well as much of its supply chain of vendors within 100 miles of Oceanside. Another business in Oceanside that is staying afloat making products for the quarantine is Rais Case, a women’s handbag business that has started making masks. According to Julie Ellis, owner and founder of Rais Case, the business does all of its cutting and sewing here in San Diego County.
“In the past few weeks we have created our own pattern for masks,” Ellis said. On its website, Rais Case is selling finished masks, a mask kit with enough material for five masks for customers to make at home, and also offers a free, downloadable mask pattern for people to use to make their own masks at home. For every mask purchased, the business is donating a mask to nurses, doctors and the community’s homeless population.
“At this point, we’ve sold several thousand masks, so we’re donating that many as well,” Ellis said. As Rais Case helps by donating masks to the community, selling masks is also helping the business stay running. The business has had to stop production of its handbags and temporarily close its storefront in Oceanside due to the closure mandate on non-essential businesses. “This is definitely what will help us get through this,” Ellis said.
Palomar field hospital moves forward despite recent layoffs By Tigist Layne
ESCONDIDO — Health care professionals held protests in Poway after more than 200 health care workers were temporarily laid off last week. But despite the layoffs, county officials said Palomar Medical Center in Escondido is still set to be the site of a 250-bed federal field hospital. Palomar Health recently announced a 21-day layoff of 221 employees, citing a more than 50 percent decline in Emergency Department visits and a similar decline in patients throughout the system. The hospital said in a statement that because “elective surgeries and outpatient services were suspended on March 18 due to COVID-19 safety precautions,” many nurses and caregivers were left without patients to care for. The announcement came one week after Palomar Medical Center in Escondido was selected for a 250-bed FEMA field hospital to aid in the fight against COVID-19. Protesters raised concerns about

the state of the planned field hospital in light of the temporary layoffs. Craig Sturak, communications officer with the county of San Diego Health & Human Services Agency, told The Coast News that the equipment for the facility at Palomar Health has arrived and will be set up this week. The hospital said that 74 percent of those affected by the layoffs were from surgery and outpatient departments, the remaining positions were support roles not directly related to patient care. They added that all those affected would be immediately eligible for unemployment and will retain their health insurance throughout the 21-day temporary layoff. “This is a very difficult time for everyone,” Palomar Health President and CEO Diane Hansen said in a statement. “The health and well-being of all our employees is important to us and we expect to bring our Palomar Health family back to work as quickly as possible.”
RACETRACK CONTINUED FROM A1
el coronavirus. Due to this fact, several facilities across the country have continued racing, but without audiences. This includes Los Alamitos in Cypress, for example. “Horse racing is currently the only game in town, so to speak,” said Rubenstein. “Certainly people are looking for things to do. And horse racing, in addition to providing jobs … is providing that.” According to Dado, this scenario is financially feasible due to the amount of off-site betting that racing attracts. He said that about 90% of the Del Mar racetrack’s betting is done away from the racetrack. “There is a business model that can be put together that would only include wagering with no fans here at the track,” he said. But Dado says DMTC’s No. 1 priority is the well-being of the 4,000 racehorses in California and the roughly 1,500 workers who care for those horses in Del Mar. “The racing is secondary in our minds,” Dado said. DMTC has had to furlough some workers, but Dado said they are hoping to hire them back as soon as possible. Regardless of the changes, he said the track is still prepared to take in their usual 1,800 horses this summer. Due to animal welfare being deemed an essential service, the state-owned stabling facilities remain open to provide care to the horses on-site. According to Rubenstein, DMTC continues to provide housing and health care to the organization’s workers as well. In a statement issued to The Coast News, DMTC reported that they will follow public health guidelines in
moving forward — whichever direction that may push them. “We will continue to work with the relevant public health officials as we get closer to our scheduled opening and will make decisions on any potential modifications at the appropriate time,” the statement read. At the 22nd DAA meeting, several speakers commented both for and against the race season moving forward. Several animal rights activists discouraged opening the racetrack, both due to moral qualms about horse racing in general and concern about the spread of COVID-19 by track workers. Speakers asserted that social distancing while horse racing isn’t possible and that jockeys and workers on the backstretch may be needlessly exposed to the virus. “Jockeys are side by side leading up to the starting gate, they’re side-by-side in the starting gate, they’re side-by-side in the races,” said Martha Sullivan, drawing comparisons to running and cycling — which have both drawn cautions due to the spread of respiratory droplets during exercise. The industry has gained its fair share of opposition over the years, primarily due to horse deaths that occur during racing. Del Mar has gained a reputation as one of the safest tracks in the country — with its safest season on record last year. Local resident Jim Coleman encouraged the fair board and DMTC to work together to make a summer meet happen, to continue supporting racetrack employment and the health of the industry. “We might not have fans at the thoroughbred meet this year,” he said. “But that doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be a meet.”

Postal workers hold steady in crisis By Caitlin Steinberg
ENCINITAS — After the dust settles from the COVID-19 pandemic, neighborhood mail carriers may be looking for a new job. After being excluded from federal stimulus programs, the United States Postal Service currently faces bankruptcy and closure as soon as September 30, based on estimates provided to lawmakers by the USPS. “We are at a critical juncture in the life of the Postal Service,” said Postmaster General Megan Brennan. “[Due to COVID], the sudden drop in mail volumes, our most profitable revenue stream, is steep and may never fully recover.” Despite the financial uncertainty amidst a looming health crisis, local postal workers continue to deliver the mail. David Payne, an Encinitas postal worker and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, feels confident in his ability to do his job and remain safe while following health guidelines. “We practice social distancing, wear masks, utilize gloves and there’s a lot more washing of hands as we stop,” said Payne, who was wearing his own homemade mask. Payne is just one of approximately 97 employees currently working at the Encinitas Post Office on North Coast Highway 101. During a typical route, he makes between 600 and 1000 deliveries. Current USPS safety protocol is based on recommendations by the CDC, but additional safety measures have been implemented at all retail and mail processing facilities. “Having been a Marine, this isn’t hard,” Payne said. “We follow basic rules that we were given and we execute the job. [There’s]

no fear about getting the disease as long as we practice what we were told by the CDC.” Referencing his time in combat, Payne is one of nearly 97,000 veterans working for the USPS, which is one of the largest employers of veterans in the country. “I traded one eagle for
another,” Payne said. Mass layoffs and closures would likely affect military veterans disproportionately. Despite the uncertain circumstances, Payne said Encinitas residents have found heartfelt ways of saying ‘thank you.’ “Seniors on my block really appreciate that their
medications are getting delivered,” Payne said. “Folks are leaving posters and notes up saying thank you. They’re really appreciative.” While relying solely on the sale of postal products such as stamps and packaging among other services to fund operations, the USPS’s revenue loss will soar to an estimated $22 billion in the next 18 months, according to the agency’s website. On April 10, Brennan called on the White House and Congress to help, requesting $85 billion dollars in grants and assistance. Lawmakers instead extended USPS a $10 billion loan, pending final approval from the Department of the Treasury, as reported by multiple news sources. “At a time when America needs the Postal Service more than ever, the reason we are so needed is having a devastating effect on our business,” Brennan said.
Carlsbad author helps kids to cope with books, arts By Steve Puterski
CARLSBAD — In times of high stress and anxiety, one local author helps kids through reading and art. Ann Gonzales, 69, of Carlsbad has been using her virtual tools to help kids through life challenges. In 2018, she self-published her book “Beloved and the Pepper Tree,” which chronicles a little girl and her friendship with a tree. In the story, a family moves and Beloved, a young girl, can’t take a tree, but the tree helps her cope with leaving her friends. It’s a metaphor, Gonzales said, on how to face hardships. “It parallels being a mother and going through these experiences with kids,” she added. “It’s got a message for adults as well as children. Concretely … it helps children move or face other challenges.” Gonzales said a second book will center on how Beloved copes in her new town. She completed it in one day, although it won’t

be released until her more aggressive marketing campaign for the first book is settled. In addition to her writing, Gonzales is a certified expressive arts facilitator, working with people to overcome grief, resistance, letting go or other challenges through art.
Art is used to give people a tool to express themselves in a constructive and creative manner, she said. Her workshops use art materials, guided prompts, paint, collage and other mediums to help sufferers of trauma, abuse and grief give “voice” to emotions, dealing with struggles oth-
erwise not expressed and helping them discover what their images are saying. Her work has ranged from sober living homes, Wounded Warriors and Camp Pendleton, to name a few. “They transform a problem or an emotion into some kind of a solution,” Gonzales said. “We’ll talk a little bit about the topic and then I have an art project designed to explore whatever is going on.” One of her go-to projects is having her clients paint the inside and outside of a mask. The exercise, she said, allows her clients to see the difference between the two paintings, which re-create how a person feels on the inside versus how they project themselves on the outside. “There’s usually a striking difference with the front and inside of the mask,” Gonzales said. “We’ll talk about that and how to make their inner and outer worlds a little more matching.”
DEL MAR — The city once again reaffirmed its commitment to the Clean Energy Alliance at an April 16 special meeting, after the COVID-19 crisis cast some doubt over Del Mar’s involvement. In early April, city staff revealed that Del Mar’s general fund reserves would be spent in a matter of months due to the economic downturn. This stark reality prompted council to take another look at its participation in a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program in these uncertain times. The city opted to join the Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) in late 2019, adding its name to a CCA Joint Powers Authority formed with Solana Beach and Carlsbad. Like CCAs throughout the state, the program is meant to help the cities bring in more renewable energy, more local control, and revenue for sustainability-related projects. At this point, the program stands to kick off in May of 2021. April 20 was the city’s last day to get out of the program without having to give one-year notice, or having to opt in to any future financial obligations, according to the CEA agreement. It was the day the CCA was due to file its first year-ahead resource adequacy forecast to the California Public Utilities Commission – which helps determine the CCA’s energy procurement needs. Staff quickly put together an impromptu meeting on April 16, giving council a chance to address this milestone. Like many issues in Del Mar, this one has proved to be divisive. City Councilmembers Dave Druker and Terry Gaasterland both supported delay of the program. Gaasterland cited recent reductions in energy demand, and worried about whether renewable energy suppliers would be quick to enter into contracts at this point. “I think pushing for greenhouse gas-free energy is the right thing to do,” Gaasterland said. “However, in today’s financial climate, I’m not yet convinced that it’s the financially prudent thing for Del Mar to do this way, right now. The council ultimately voted 4-1 in favor of re-
maining in CEA, with Gaasterland voting against. City Councilwoman Ellie Haviland, who is Del Mar’s chair on the CEA Board of Directors, has stood firmly in favor of the program. She asserted that the CCA is still viable and an “extremely valuable” program for Del Mar. “Pursuit of a CCA program is the single most important strategy for achieving the greenhouse gas reduction targets in our city’s climate action plan,” she said. “All startup costs are subject to reimbursement…if we leave the CCA now, then those initial costs will have no chance of being reimbursed. We are walking away from many opportunities, but reimbursement from our start-up expenses is one of them.” The city has so far pitched in $150,000 to the program, along with the two other cities. According to CEA’s interim CEO Barbara Boswell, the CEA Board directed staff to look at options for repaying that advancement as soon as possible, given the financial concerns of all of the participating cities. Kirby Dusel, vice president of Pacific Energy Advisors, said the CEA has time working in its favor, and anticipates that the current financial implications for CCA’s will likely be resolved before the program’s launch. “I do feel like much of the issues that we’ve been observing so far are likely to stabilize between now and the 2021 launch,” Dusel said. Based on a pro-forma put together by Pacific Energy Advisors, CEA’s technical consultant, city staff assessed that the program is financially viable in current market conditions. In submitted red dots, residents offered mixed responses. Some encouraged the city to stick with the program and others worried about related financial obligations down the road. Former City Councilman Terry Sinnott urged the city to take a step back. “This is not the time to be spending resources on projects that are not basic to city functions,” he said. “Now that we are forced into this economic recession…use your common sense and delay Del Mar’s involvement until our financials improve.”

More than 100 economists call for suspension of AB 5 By Steve Puterski
REGION — More now than ever, a flexible workforce is needed. It’s why more than 100 economists and public policy experts across the state are calling on Gov. Gavin Newsom to suspend the controversial law, Assembly Bill 5, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative was spearheaded by the Independent Institute, a non-partisan, public policy group in Oakland, who reached out to economists across the state. The law, which expanded the Dynamex decision, forces businesses to implement the ABC test to determine whether or not an independent contractor has been misclassified. Ten economists from the University of California, San Diego and San Diego State University signed the open letter, several of whom said the law is to rigid and should be repealed. Marjorie Falvin, a professor emeritus of economics at UCSD, said most economists have been against AB 5 prior to the pandemic, calling it a “disaster” and “insane.” And while little official data exists yet for economists to analyze, she said the app-based platforms and independent contractors have been critical during the crisis. “To pass that kind of law, you’ve really not thought about the consequences like an economist or a reasonably intelligent person would think about it,” Falvin said. “In that way, the crisis, I think, really shows in sharper relief what a disaster it is; and therefore I hope there is a temporary suspension and hope there is a ballot measure and people rethink it.” From an economics
standpoint, she, along with several of her colleagues said AB 5 restricts the labor market and most are in favor of a repeal, even before the pandemic. Additionally, other economists such as Marc-Andres Muendler of UCSD, Lee Ohanian of UCLA and Robert Brown of the California State University San Marcos, said a restrictive law such as AB 5 will lead to lower wages. Alexis Todo, an associate professor of economics at UCSD, said AB 5 is too rigid, especially during a pandemic where flexibility, the evolution of the economy and the relationships between businesses and contractors is important more than ever. In addition, he said AB 5 will shift costs to businesses leading to less workers being hired and will contract with workers out of state. He said the intention of the law is good, but in the long-term the strictness of the law may likely come back to haunt it. Additionally, he and Falvin and others said the language of the bill is much too broad, thus limit positive economic outcomes. Several said they worry it will increase unemployment, while all said the bill redirects the cost of business from the independent contractor to the employer, thus lowering wages to meet those mandated costs. “This is a bill from the 20th century and is an old-fashioned way of thinking,” Todo said. “It’s no longer appropriate for the 21st century.
Pandemic Falvin said we had a good economy with full employment even before the pandemic, but AB 5 screwed that up quite a bit when it was enacted on Jan. 1. As W2 workers have been furloughed or laid off, yet another part of the economy needed to expand such as drivers for gig platforms such as Amazon Fresh, Instacart and Uber, she said. Existence may it possible for a relocation of labor for industries that were shut down. “At one level, it shows how valuable that less formal sector is,” Falvin said. “Something like Amazon Fresh is not going to be able to hire 10,000 employees if you have the restrictions of a formal employer. Now that we’re in a crisis, delivery of food of medicine is working pretty well. To screw that up at this point, would be mind boggling stupid.” Todo said the current challenges are calling for Intentions a more flexible workforce Falvin and others said can help reduce the rapid the intention of the law, unemployment rate.

Earth Month goes digital in Oceanside OCEANSIDE — The city of Oceanside’s Earth Month celebration has moved online this year, offering participants the opportunity to practice sustainability efforts while at home. The month-long celebration will include environmentally focused activities for all ages, art and video contests, and a virtual Earth Festival featuring local, environmentally-conscious businesses. Community members can visit greenoceanside. org and click on “Earth Month” to access weekly digital Earth Month content. By participating in contests and activities, participants will also have opportunities to win prizes such as sustainability kits and gift cards to be used at local businesses. The Virtual Earth Festival will allow participants the opportunity to explore local environmental orga-
preventing misclassification, is a good thing. Granting benefits to gig workers in a traditional workplace is a noble cause, she said, but “good intentions” are not enough. Falvin, along with Brown, said by proposing new laws and regulations to make contractors a W2 employee with eliminate jobs, not save or create them. “That’s what these legislators … seem to really not understand,” Falvin said. “There are serious issues with that, that you can destroy or hugely reduce the size of the sector. Their other mistake was they made it way too broad.”
nizations from the original festival event as well as the chance to support local businesses. Especially during this time of uncertainty for many businesses, Oceanside believes it is important to shop local to support North County’s growers, creators, and entrepreneurs. “The importance of protecting our planet is ever-present, and the city of Oceanside is excited to continue offering ways for our community to make an impact on preserving our natural resources and creating a healthier environment,” said Cari Dale, Water Utilities Director. Green Oceanside is a campaign dedicated to teaching residents and local businesses how to be better stewards of the earth through sustainability, watershed protection, water conservation, zero waste, and energy conservation.
ever, firms such as Uber, Lyft, Instacart and others, have ignored AB 5 to date and have a ballot measure on the November election.
Flexibility Ohanian said there is “absolutely” no economic reason — based on cost-benefit analysis — to support the law, noting it is an “enormous infringement on the economic right of an individual to earn a living.” The current impact, he said, is that it is creating massive inflexibility in exactly the areas where people wish to work — delivery drivers and health care professionals — but they are prohibited by law to work as an independent contractor. Those who signed the bill never asked “why should we prohibit these working arrangements?” Now it is becoming incredibly costly, he added. “Some, particularly women, place an extremely high value on their ability to schedule when they work, Ohanian said. “Being an independent contractor allows this, but working as a W2 employee may not. There are thousands of California workers who are upset with this law because it deprives them of the right to work as they wish. “The Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys of independent contractors show that about 80% of independent contractors prefer to work this way than be a W-2 employee.” Brown, who was unaware of the letter and did not sign it, said he aligns with his colleagues. He understands the spirit regarding abuses of some contracting professions, but the affects shift costs from the contractor to the em-
ployer. Those costs, he said, will result in lower wages for workers and higher prices for consumers. “Those folks who are now going to be defined as employees, may very well face lower wages because of the costs now incurred by the employer,” Brown said. “If it’s a competitive labor market, that doesn’t logically follow.” He said he doesn’t understand how wages can increase with costs shifted to the employer. For example, he said
if a contractor is earning $20 and is put on as an employee, the employers benefit responsibilities and taxes will reduce wages or pass it on to the consumer. “When you’re an independent contractor, you probably have more incentive to keep those costs down,” Brown said of administrative expenses. “Whoever is contracting with you has really limited or no control over supervising you other than you’re going to do this job for me.”

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800540-1717, using the TS number assigned to this case on SHOWN ABOVE. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Notice, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid assessments secured by said Notice with interest thereon as provided in said Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Notice of Assessment and Claim of Lien.

Local companies support health care workers By Steve Puterski
REGION — The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted an outpouring of support for front-line health care workers throughout the country. And North County has been no different as businesses have pivoted to make personal protective equipment (PPE), hand sanitizer and other necessities to protect medical professionals. And joining the cause are three businesses, one each in Carlsbad, Encinitas and Vista, who’ve used their resources to lend their support. Carlsbad restaurant Casero Taqueria and Encinitas Ford partnered to donate 1,300 burritos last week to five hospitals in the county, while Vista-based Solatube, a lighting and ventilation company, manufactured and donated 5,000 face shields throughout San Diego County. “There’s so many people doing such great things,” said Casero Taqueria’s Craig Applegate said. “We really wanted to be part of the solution or part of putting something positive in their day. Even though we’re not open, we thought how we could support the community.” Applegate and his Casero Taqueria partner, Clayton Wheeler, teamed up with Wheeler’s father, Mark, who owns Encinitas Ford and donated $10,000

to stock up the burritos. The restaurant opened just eight months ago in the new Square at Bressi Ranch, but closed March 16 due to the pandemic. Wheeler said his mother had the idea to team up with his dad to jump-start their food program. And now, they started a GoFundMe — Encinitas Ford will match every dollar up to $15,000. Should they hit their goal, it would give them enough money for about 3,000 burritos to donate to hospitals and fire and police departments, Clayton Wheeler said. The restaurant itself will reopen on May 1 for takeout orders and is also partnering with Uber Eats for deliveries.
“It was my mom’s idea and she said she really wanted to feed the health care workers and it would be great if you and your dad would team up,” Wheeler said. “It was amazing to give back to those communities that need our help. You can tell food is kind of the last thing on their mind. They’re working extremely long days and are under pressure.” Meanwhile, Solatube recently donated 500 face shields to Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside, along with hundreds more to other facilities in the county, according to Tim Deming, the company’s director of marketing. The company is also planning on shipping hundreds of shields to New
York City hospitals, police and state police officers. Deming said Solatube has remained open as it is classified as an essential business for its services regarding air ventilation. The company also manufactures sky lights, he said. Deming said the company got active when James Hedgecock, director of product development, and other employees relayed their stories and concerns from friends or family working in health care. “It’s been fantastic for morale and the company,” Deming said. “When you give, you don’t realize the effect it has. At this point, we’re continuing to do it until the need is no longer there.”

Local nurse launches virtual support group By Hoa Quach
DEL MAR — Longtime Del Mar nurse Pantea Vahidi said she can feel the stress levels rise among her peers as more and more people worldwide become infected by the deadly COVID-19 disease. Vahidi said she’s a part of several Facebook groups where health care workers share their frustrations in battling the disease. “The news about a New York nurse committing sui-
cide after caring for C OV I D -19 patients and testing positive was a testament to the fact that the mental VAHIDI and emotional pressure of what the COVID-19 outbreak has caused is not only worrisome, but is now emergent,” said Vahidi, who practices as a medical-surgical regis-
tered nurse at Scripps Memorial Hospital. “In previous work that I have done, I have seen and learned the healing power of compassion and I decided to provide that for my fellow health care workers.” Vahidi said she hopes her new virtual group, “Caring for Those Who Care,” will provide that healing power to health care workers. “I have seen some Facebook groups for health
care professionals where they connect and exchange information, but I have not come across a group that offers live video calls to actually speak and provide care and support,” Vahidi said. “These support calls provide more than listening and sharing what is on their mind. I also share skills with them that helps improve their emotional state and shift their mindset, so they can move forward with more resilience

Animal shelter saves greyhounds in Mexico RANCHO SANTA FE — Immediately after thousands of local businesses were forced to close their doors due to COVID-19 regulations, Helen Woodward Animal Center’s AniMeals Relief Fund stepped up to begin a “drive-through” pet food distribution to ensure laid off San Diegans could still feed their pets. Now, another not-so-local closure has revealed an even more pressing need. With the recent closure of the Tijuana Caliente Greyhound Racetrack, Operation Greyhound is coming to the rescue of dozens of former race dogs in need of food and care. Helen Woodward Animal Center is working to providing 300 pounds of food in its partnership with Blue Buffalo. Operation Greyhound arrived to pick up the dog food April 9. With demand only increasing as San Diegans face rising financial insecurities, Helen Woodward Animal Center has announced that AniMeals Relief food distributions will continue through the month of April and has partnered with Feeding San Diego to provide both pet food and human food to local pet owners. Donations are still needed to ensure the high demand is met and can be made at animalcenter.org/ animealsrelief. “This crisis shouldn’t affect our animals,” said
Center President and CEO Mike Arms. “These beautiful creatures don’t understand the situation and continue to provide us love, comfort and joy. We want to make sure they are taken care of and get to remain with their families.” However, a concerning call to Helen Woodward Animal Center Director of Outreach Services Christen Hanley on Tuesday morning revealed the way COVID-19 is affecting more than domestic pets. “We were told that the Tijuana racetrack had just closed and that kennel managers onsite were worried about feeding the dogs in their care and needed
help,” Hanley said. The AniMeals Relief Fund, in partnership with Feeding San Diego, will continue to assist San Diegans throughout the month of April. Pet owners who have recently lost their job due to the ongoing Coronavirus situation, can request to receive a two-week-supply of pet and human food. Recipients who have already picked up food during the first week of distributions, can request another pick up for two more weeks of supplies. Food pick-ups are by appointment on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

LOCAL FAMILIES NEED YOUR HELP!
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our homes, our schools and our communities in ways we are just beginning to understand. While many of us struggle to manage the challenges brought on by school closures, workplace adjustments, and social distancing, the COVID-19 pandemic has further strained many of our local families through food insecurity; job loss, and housing uncertainty. Be Strong/Se Fuerte is a collaborative effort led by the Encinitas Educational Foundation (EEF) to support those families most in need. Through financial contributions from our community, EEF will provide funding to impacted families through the Encinitas Union School District's Community Liaison Program.

ines,” Vahidi said. “Health care workers all around the globe are suddenly faced with what looks like a viral World War III and they happen to be positioned on the front lines of this battle with minimal mental or safety preparation. “Health care workers have turned their lives upside down and take on risks that they weren’t prepared for.” There’s also the physical burnout of tending to so many patients, Vahidi said. “Health care organizations have started investing in programs to remedy the burnout with different methods, because the effects of it are tangible and disastrous,” Vahidi said. These issues, among others, are just a few that Vahidi said she hopes her group will be useful in addressing. Vahidi said a virtual support group among peers is useful because health care workers may find it difficult to share their professional struggles with their friends or family members. The support group, where sessions are held daily, is meant to be a readily available emotional first-aid kit, she said.

SMALL TALK CONTINUED FROM B1
I am now up each morning by 4 a.m., without a struggle. Sometimes I even wake up before my alarm. You have no idea how startling that is for me or how much I hate alarm clocks. I have adopted the habit these days of stumbling into the newsroom by 5 a.m., when there is no one around to breathe on me. By 8 a.m., when the rest trickle in, I am out the door feeling like an ad for the U.S. Army. When I tell my friends, they don’t really believe me. Especially the college sorority sisters who had to listen to me stomp around and snarl every morning. I was a bear with a sore paw to everyone I encountered before 9 a.m. I did not speak and did not want to be spoken to. I was a night person who got a second wind around 5 p.m. and loved staying up late reading a good book, maybe cooking, cleaning or watching a favorite television show. The trade-off, of course, is an early bedtime and not wanting particularly to go anywhere much at night (can you spell p-a-rt-y p-o-o-p-e-r?). The final transformation (yes, I feel like a werewolf) was when I simply woke up at 4 a.m. last Saturday morning. I was deeply disturbed but got a lot accomplished.

I think I’m going to be the go-to girl for morning coffee once this virus has packed up and left. Going to bed before the sun isn’t such a problem these days, with Roku and Netflix. For most of my life, if you missed Wednesday’s episode, you were fresh out of luck. It would also have been a problem in my youth, because my mom never served dinner before 7:30 p.m. Once I had children, I needed those evening hours to get anything done at all. And I remember being awakened at 5 a.m. by my toddlers as pure torture. Will this last? Do I want it to? Only time will tell, but for the balance of the lockdown, I feel like quite the sci-fi shape-shifter. Coffee anyone? VOLUNTEER

Preserving the garden by creating your own herbal products
I
thought of a Beatles song as I walked through a lovely church garden in Carlsbad. “When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me. Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me. Speaking words of wisdom. Let it be.” The entire grounds are lovingly cared for by a number of gardeners and my favorite is the herb garden named “Mary’s Garden.” The spikey, welltrimmed rosemary hedges are set in a somewhat formal pattern with smaller, rounded English lavender placed symmetrically between the hedges.
And a small statue of the Virgin Mary overlooks “Mary’s Garden.” As I rubbed my hands over the tops of each plant, I immediately felt a sense of calm and I tried to imagine how to preserve that feeling for a longer time in your household. When you grow herbs at home, there are multitudes of ways they can be used and preserved. Culinary herbs are the most useful to herb gardeners. Parsley, cilantro, sage, bay, chives, thyme, marjoram, mint, lemon grass, tarragon and basil are just a few to add to your collection. Aromatic herbs are useful for flowers and foliage. Oils can be used to produce perfumes and cosmetics. These herbs include calendula, lavender, rosemary, mint, feverfew and basil. Medicinal herbs have long been thought to have curative powers. Many herbs have been studied and have been found to have healing powers but should be used carefully. (See ref-
erences below). Harvesting fresh leaves may be picked as soon as the plant has enough foliage to maintain growth. Pick leaves and seeds after dew has disappeared but before the sun gets too hot. If drying leaves, harvest before the flower buds open. If using just the seed heads, harvest when the color changes from green to brown and feels dry.
Drying herbs After harvesting herbs with leaves and stems wash with cold water. Dry with towels and hang upside down in the sun until water evaporates. When harvesting leaves, strip them from the stems and store whole in a canning jar with sealed lids. Seeds should be stored whole and ground when needed. Mint, basil and lavender can be dried in large bunches while still on the stem by hanging them upside down in a dark and warm place and used as arrangements
or for cooking.
Home preparations One of my oldest friends, Sue King Elkan, a fellow master gardener from Cooperstown, New York, owned a large 50-acre family farm. Although the farm had not been a working farm for many years, she took on a project of growing ¼ acre of calendula and astragalus as an herbal experiment. She processed the root of astragalus as an arthritis ointment and eventually created a salve out of the calendula blossoms. “Calendula officinalis slight astringency may help to heal wounds and cuts,” according to the Reader’s Digest “Complete Ilustrated Book of Herbs,” (Reader’s Digest, 2009). Sue attended a course at the Vermont Sage Mountain Retreat Center, taught by herbal expert Rosemary Gladstar, who “reignited herbalism in America and helped us tap into ancient notions of wellness.” While attending the
course, Sue learned about the complicated process of creating herbal medicinal and cosmetic products. She proceeded to return home to New York and experimented with a salve made out of calendula blossoms. Instructions for creating your own salves and lotions can be found at www.learningherbs.com. Much to Sue’s surprise, the King Calendula Ointment became such a hit with her friends that we encouraged her to sell it! Unfortunately, she passed away before it went to market, but her friends and fellow master gardeners remember it well. Even if you are a small home gardener, you can create herbal products for yourself or as a potential saleable product. If you are a serious herb grower and want to find out more about processing herbs and possibly producing products, I encourage you to research Rosemary Gladstar’s website (scienceandartofherbalism.com) or
contact me for further references.
Tinctures and salves Simple tinctures and salves can be made at home with just a few supplies with herbs from your garden. Starting with fresh calendula flowers (no leaves), fill the blender with flowers and chop. Add herbs to a glass-canning jar, along with one cup vodka, and seal with screwtop lid. Process mixture for at least two weeks. To use the tincture to create salves or lotions go to www.learningherbs.com I hope that your garden is giving all you some solace and sparks your creativity! Contact me at janosgarden@ hotmail.com with any questions. Jano Nightingale is a master gardener and the former director of the Master Gardener Program at Cornell Cooperative Extension in Cooperstown, New York. She lives in Vista and works on local community gardens.

A
s a lifelong surfer I am sympathetic to those who want the beaches reopened. I did not, however, attend the Swami’s protest whose goal was to have our surf spots reopened. The gathering, which was reported as peaceful, may not have accomplished gaining the sympathy of the public anyway, since many photos I saw revealed people in close proximity of one another without recommended virus protection. My hope is that our surf community cooperates with the authorities and that we soon celebrate the reopening of our favorite breaks by riding them together. Together, but not too close together.
There is a lot of talk about a “new normal.” For the world in general this may mean having cleaner hands and staying farther away from one another. My hope is we also learn something about slowing down and letting nature take a breather from all of our hyperactive and often polluting movement. My hope for a surfing’s new normal is not much different. Surfers are by nature independent and, dare I say it, somewhat self-centered. We are protective of our waves and ride several to a peak in spite of this being somewhat dangerous and causing tempers to flash hot. As someone who has been aggressive in the water in the past, I can tell you those actions were never very satisfying. Since we still have a little time (hopefully no more than two weeks) before our surf spots reopen, let us reflect on our tribal behavior. On crowded days we
shout and threaten and get too close for comfort, cutting our neighbors off as we insist that the gift of a free ride is somehow “My wave.” It took me a while, but I eventually learned that no wave belonged to me and that in sharing I had the most fun. This lesson was driven home one afternoon during a big northwest swell where the double-overhead plus surf was about as good as it ever gets in our neighborhood. It was also packed with nearly 100 riders ready to drop in to whatever section might be unattended. I watched the waves for about an hour before deciding to simply paddle out and watch the action rather than participate in it. The channel was deep and calm and offered a quick conveyor belt into the midst of the dense pack. There I sat watching half a dozen surfers paddle into each wave, all shouting and cursing as every ride was ruined because of
greed. I had been there only about half an hour when someone said, “Chris has been waiting forever, the next one’s his.” This was certainly unexpected and as the next set wave rose in the kelp I paddled to meet it, swung around, took off, drove to the bottom and turned without anyone on the shoulder. Paddling back, I repeated the process another two times before cashing in my chips and returning to the beach, satisfied to watch the action. Somehow in giving, I got what I had hoped to achieve through taking. I’m not sure if this sounds like karma or grace or the law of reciprocity. It doesn’t really matter though, does it? The point is that life is better shared. Keeping our distance in the water can become normal, new and hopefully permanent. Here’s to a new normal and better day.
RANCHO SANTA FE — The San Diego Giving Back Raffle is now selling tickets for its 16th annual raffle fundraiser benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego. The Giving Back Raffle raises funds for San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House, which provides a “home away from home” for families with a critically ill or injured child. Proceeds from the Giving Back Raffle help the organization provide services — including lodging, meals and emotional support — to families as they care for their hospitalized child. Each year, more than 15,000 family members access services at the Ronald McDonald House. Single ticket prices are $150, and discounted multi-ticket packages, as well as add-on tickets, are available. Subject to a minimum number of ticket sales, the grand prize winner, on July 6, has the choice of up to $2.1 million or a multimillion-dollar Rancho Santa Fe estate. The hillside estate features four bedrooms; six-and-a-half bathrooms; unobstructed, panoramic coastal views; a zero-edge pool with jacuzzi; home theater; two wine cellar walls and more. The grand prize drawing purchase deadline is June 26, with the Grand prize drawing July 6. Early Bird drawings begin May 7 and continue weekly through June 26. The earlier raffle tickets are purchased, the more chances there are to win in the special “early bird” drawings. The first early bird
ticket deadline is April 24 and the winner receives his or her choice of a 2020 Porsche Taycan 4S; a 18-day, 17-night cruise to Antarctica; or $100,000 cash. By purchasing an addon ticket with a single raffle ticket, the ticket purchaser is entered for a chance to win a weekly prize of $20,000, or one of nine prize options such as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz A 220 Sedan and a Nile River cruise in Egypt. A list of all available prizes and ticket options is available at SDRaffle. com. ROTARY DONATES $25K TO NONPROFITS

my Dixon is restricted to waving hello to the YMCA maintenance workers. What she won’t do is say goodbye to her Olympic dream. “Hopefully soon we will all be able to be back at the Y,” Dixon said. “The people there are like my family and I miss them.” Dixon lives adjacent to the Magdalena Ecke YMCA in Encinitas and she is a regular in its weight room and pool. From her backyard she can see the facility and, on a clear day, all the way to Japan. “You don’t need to have sight to have vision,” Dixon said. Dixon, a member of the USA Paratriathlon national team, has eyesight that is compromised. But she’s focused on a future destination and she won’t allow it to be delayed. Although that is just what the coronavirus has done to her dream of competing this summer in the Paralympic Games in Tokyo. Her training at the YMCA ended when it closed on March 16 to slow the spread of the virus. “Unfortunately, all of us competitors around the world are in the same boat,” Dixon said. Dixon’s orbit revolves around sweating. There are few days off for the reigning paratriathlon national champion, who is ranked No. 6 in the world. So she uses elastic bands on her yoga mat to simulate swimming while in quarantine. She hops on a stationary bike to get her miles. And she resumed her running on a high-intensity treadmill provided by Primo Fitness CEO Leo Ma-

rangi. “I can’t use a regular treadmill because I run too fast on it,” Dixon said. Everything in the sports world has had the brakes tapped and that includes Dixon’s quest to represent Uncle Sam in Japan. The games were postponed until next summer, which isn’t that big of deal to Dixon, right? Wrong. “It was pretty devastating for me,” Dixon said. “I’m 44 years old so this is going to be my last shot at the Olympics. To push that back a year means I have to adjust to an additional 12 months of very, very high-intensity workouts and that can be physically and emotionally exhausting.” Not to mention the cost that accompanies it — think coaching, equipment, sports massage, chiropractor. “That too is a little disconcerting for me,” she said. Bet against Dixon at your own risk. My money is on this inspirational athlete oozing with talent, gump-
tion and a belief that few can match. Dixon has just 2% of her eyesight after a rare autoimmune disease infected her when she was 22. She has undergone 33 surgeries to try to stall its progress. “There is no cure for the disease but they can slow it down and that’s the goal,” she said. Steroid treatments were used to fight it in its early stages and that led to Dixon gaining 75 pounds. That put her disease in remission and fueled Dixon’s goal to get fit into overdrive. “I was very sick and then I wanted to get back to feeling like I did,” Dixon said. Then living in Connecticut, Dixon started swimming at her YMCA. She knew it was 17 strokes to travel the length of the pool, so she could do it unassisted. Next came running on a treadmill, and then she borrowed a tandem bike, and found a friend to get her rides in. Voila! — a triathlete was born and so was a call-
ing that extends to her personal life, too. Dixon is the founder of Camp No Sight No Limits as she helps mold the next wave of sight-impaired competitors. “Your only limitation is in your head,” Dixon tells her charges, “not your body.” Dixon’s body of work is impressive. But she’s quick to note that it’s the result of a community-wide effort, with coaches and partners like Ken Axford and Cindy Gary lending a hand. And Woodstock, Dixon’s faithful dog, is always by her side or awaiting her return. “He’s not getting much work in as a guide dog these days because we don’t go out much,” she said. “So we’re playing catch four times a day.” In between workouts, of course, as Dixon gets through the dog days of an extended countdown for the Paralympic Games.

CHS swim coach tries to brighten up a lost season By Steve Puterski
CARLSBAD — Athletes across the country have lost their seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And for Patty Kraatz, head coach of the Carlsbad High School swimming and diving team, it meant most likely a CIF title. With a team of 115 swimmers and divers, the Lancers had the talent, depth and drive to wins its first sectional championship since 2014. But with the students at home and tons of energy waiting to be expended, Kraatz wanted to reach out to her athletes for a creative video. She said 52 replied back with short clips of them skateboarding around the house, “swimming” in grass, mowing the lawn, dancing, in the show-
er and much more all while sporting their CHS swim gear. The video soundtrack uses “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” by Simple Minds. “It was hysterical,” Kraatz said. “This year we were on track to win a CIF title. This was a really exciting season and everyone was motivated and passionate. To have this pandemic come across the table, they were just lost.” Her youngest son, Kevin, edited the clips as a tribute from Patty Kraatz to her athletes and their lost season. One of the stars of the video is Carolina Rebaza Salizar, a normally quiet kid, Kraatz said. Salizar, though, stands out for
“swimming” on her front lawn going through all the strokes looking like a fish out of water. “She’s the best,” Kraatz said. “She’s probably one of my most reserved student athletes. She had me crying I was laughing so hard. I definitely didn’t expect that to come from her.” She said the toughest part of the season has been the lost opportunity for her senior class, which has 16 swimmers including Connor Mes and Charlie Stewart, both of whom will swim in college next year. Mes will compete for the College of William & Mary, while Stewart will suit up for Eastern Illinois University. Kraatz also kept in contact through email with the
whole team, but then redirected her energy to the seniors since their Senior Day would be modified and they may not be able to walk for graduation. Kraatz’s oldest son, Riley, is a senior, so the coach has seen first-hand the impact of a lost season on students. In addition to the video, Kraatz also made gift baskets complete with a personalized yard sign for each senior. “This overwhelming sense of loss and my seniors’ loss is just sitting with me,” Kraatz said. “I have this motto — I care more about your character than your athleticism because your character will last you a lifetime and your athleticism can be gone tomorrow.”

Virtual distillery, brewery tours remind us what we’re missing Cheers! North County

he sky is blue. The wind is rustling the leaves. The birds are chirping, and the whiskey is flowing. Not just outside and inside my apartment where I have been social distancing for what seems like forever, but on my laptop where I have just clicked the buffalo head icon to enter the Buffalo Trace Distillery Virtual Tour. One of my favorite things to do is explore new breweries and distilleries. With every new venue I visit I gain a new appreciation for the liquids I’m drinking, and learn a little more about the community they are in. The COVID-19 pandemic has temporarily put a halt to my real world drinking adventures, but I thought maybe, just maybe, I could re-create the ambience, experience and connection with other passionate imbibers from the comfort of my own home. I’ll save you the suspense. I couldn’t. Not really, and not for a lack of trying or whiskey. Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, has an entirely virtual tour app that offers three tours. A lovely voiced Southern gentleman narrates a point of view walking tour. Imagine Wilford Brimley narrating a late 1990s video game like the groundbreaking James Bond game Goldeneye, but at a much more leisurely pace. You’ll virtually see the barrel warehouses with tens of thousands of oak barrels filled with whiskies of various ages. You will pass Stony Point, the home where Col. Albert Bacon Blanton lived with his family; the Blanton Bottling Hall; and the Still House with the 60,000-gallon beer still. Through the trees you’ll see the Kentucky River flowing past. If you see something interesting off the guided tour you can just leave the path with the aid of an awkward mouse-connected joystick to click on informational pop-ups or collect bottles of bourbon that have been laid out at random like an adult Easter egg hunt that I absolutely

about a visit to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, and for that I was grateful. It also inspired me to start looking for other online tours. I watched a 360-degree virtual tour of Allagash Brewing in Portland, Maine, and then fell down the rabbit hole that is The Craft Beer Channel on YouTube where I went to The Alchemist Brewery in Vermont. I followed it up with a trip to The Left Handed Giant Brewery in England, and joined Conan O’Brien on a tour of the Guinness Brewery in Dublin, Ireland. It wasn’t long before I fully engaged my wanderlust by looking at the calendar,

What it did accomplish is one of the only true virtual tours for any distillery or was to inspire me to dream brewery I could find online, and it had a lot of the visuals and information a traditional tour offers. I even had whiskey in my hand, but it didn’t have the off-the-cuff stories, the smells, and the magic of worn wood and brick. I couldn’t feel the essence rotecting hiLDren that I was sharing in more
extrapolating the impact of this pandemic and even, just for fun, searching for flights. Originally, I invited several friends to join me on the tour via video chat. Some technical difficulties
getting the tour to work within the chat software prevented it, but ultimately I ended up on screen with those friends anyway. We shared a beer, a whiskey or both. At first we talked about all things coronavirus like sheltering in place, whose kids were driving them crazy, about enjoying good days and surviving the bad days. Despite the pandemic’s looming presence, we eventually moved past it. We retold stories about past brewery tours, and past drinking adventures. We filled each other in about dumb things we and our spouses have said or done in the past few weeks. We saw each other smile, and laugh, and it was good. We never made it on the tour together, at least not yet. We made plans to talk about making plans in the future, and for another video chat sooner than later. In that way, the tour we never went on together was a success. Its mere existence brought us together. It tightened our bond. It added strength to the foundation of this community we’ve built of people who love fine beverages, and the stories they inspire.

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $383,960.45 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction,
you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 4777869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 082885CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You still might have to deal with some lingering confusion that marked a recent workplace situation. But for the most part, you should now be well on your way to your next project. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A new commitment might demand more time than you’d expected to have to give it. But rely on that special Bovine gift for patience, and stick with it. You’ll be glad you did. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re earning the admiration of a lot of people who like the way you handle yourself when your views are on the line. Even one or two of your detractors are being won over. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Taking your responsibilities seriously is what you do. But ease up on the pressure gauge, and make time for much needed R & R. Start by making this weekend a “just for fun” time zone. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Some recently uncovered information might make a change of plans inevitable. If so, deal with it as quickly as possible, and then find out what went wrong and why. What you learn might surprise you. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Aspects favor moving carefully and deliberately when making any significant changes. Could be there are more facts you need to know, which you might overlook if you rush things.
TRIVIA TEST ANSWERS
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A problem neighbor might be looking to goad you into an action you don’t want to take. Ask someone you both respect if he or she would act as an impartial arbitrator for both of you. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A recent workplace accomplishment hasn’t been overlooked by those who watch these things. Meanwhile, start making travel plans for that much-too-long-deferred trip with someone special. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Those money matters continue to move in your favor. Now would be a good time to start putting some money back into the house, both for esthetic as well as economic reasons. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A changing workplace environment can create job pressures. But, once again, follow the example of your birth sign and take things a step at a time, like the sure-footed Goat you are. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Cheer up. You could soon have the funds you need for your worthy project. Your generous gifts of time and effort are well known, and someone might decide it’s time to join with you. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your inner scam-catcher is right on target, and you’re absolutely right to reject that “too good to be true” offer. Meanwhile, something positive should be making its way to you. BORN THIS WEEK: You are generous, and also sympathetic to people who find they need the help of others. © 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.
