Council hears reports on La Paloma restoration efforts By Aaron Burgin
ENCINITAS — The La Paloma Theater on Coast Highway 101 has been one of Encinitas most identifiable and unique landmarks for nearly 90 years. On Wednesday, the City Council received a report from a group that is searching for a way to preserve the offbeat single-screen theater — one of the last remaining single screens across the state — for future generations.

It is an icon, a landmark, a beacon of our downtown,” Peck said.

Phil Graham eyes Encinitas Council run By Aaron Burgin
ENCINITAS — A month after dropping out of his race for State Assembly, Phil Graham has set his sights on another elected office — the Encinitas City Council. Graham, a local businessman and stepson of former California Gov. Pete Wilson, filed his candidate intention statement and committee formation forms with the Encinitas City Clerk’s office this week, City Clerk Kathy Hollywood said. Encinitas is in a unique position where four
of the City Council seats — including the mayor spot — are up for re-election in November, which could potentially change the dynamics of the council from it’s current 3-2 liberal-leaning majority. Graham is one of five people to announce their intention to run for council. Incumbents Tony Kranz and Mark Muir have filed re-election paperwork, Planning Commissioner Tasha Boerner Horvath also has filed paperwork for an election TURN TO GRAHAM ON A20
