March, Southern California Edison released its plans for the future offsite relocation of spent nuclear fuel currently stored at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.

The utility company also formed a coalition of stakeholders including San Diego RANCHO County to push the federalSFNEWS government to take responsibility for the spent nuclear fuel, though some critics say this is Edison’s attempt to shift its own responsibility for the spent fuel away.

The plans contained in a three-volume set of more than 150 pages include what Edison calls the Action Plan, the Strategic Plan and the Conceptual Transportation Plan.

The Action Plan was developed to display measures Edison and the SONGS plant co-owners, including the cities of Anaheim and Riverside, will take to push for offsite relocation of spent fuel as well as preparation for such a move.

The Strategic Plan then identifies and analyzes the pros and cons of several alternatives for spent fuel removal, such as moving the spent fuel to an interim storage facility before the final permanent repository that has yet to be determined.

The Conceptual Transportation Plan then focuses on the necessary preparation and associated costs that shipping the spent fuel from San Onofre to an offsite location will require.

Hundreds rally against rise of anti-Asian violence

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — A pair of North County high school students have rallied hundreds of people in response to a national spike in hate and violence directed against Asian Americans since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ara Lee, 17, of San Marcos High School, and Joan Chong, 16, of Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad, organized a March 21 rally in Carlsbad Village, after which several hundred people marched to Cannon Park.

“I felt we needed to do something,” Chong said.

Both girls said it was an opportunity to bring a voice to local Asian American residents and to rebuke the use of racist terms to describe the coronavirus,

including “Chinese Virus” and “Kung Flu,” among others.

Speakers at the rally

said this type of derogatory rhetoric, most notably used by former President Donald Trump and far-right

political pundits, has fueled a significant rise in anti-Asian hate crimes across the country.

In 2020, hate crimes against Asian Americans in the country’s largest cities have increased by 150%, according to the Center for the Study of Hate & Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino, On March 16, a White male in Atlanta shot and killed eight people, six of whom were Asian women, sparking national outrage.

Lee, Chong and a number of speakers on Sunday said the shooter had deranged sexualized fetishes about Asian women leading to the rampage.

“It is our duty as Asian Americans and young people to act now,” Lee said.

DESPITE HIS CLAIM that the district map was “blatant political gerrymandering,” former Councilman Mark Muir, center, lost his re-election bid in 2018. But some critics remain skeptical the entire districting process was above board, seeing it as helping Mayor Catherine Blakespear, left, solidify her influence. At right is Councilman Tony Kranz.

District map quagmire rekindled with fresh misconduct claims

By Jordan P. Ingram

ENCINITAS — A looming electoral redistricting coupled with last month’s District 3 appointment of Councilwoman Joy Lyndes to the Encinitas City Council has renewed feelings of suspicion and betrayal among residents who still feel the city’s initial districting process was nothing short of a fiasco.

Some critics, including former office-holders, maintain the city’s transition from citywide to district elections was less than transparent and tainted with secret maps and gerrymandering, leading to the ouster of a conservative councilman and helping to solidify Mayor Catherine Blakespear’s leftward influence over the council for years to come.

And a recent utterance from an Encinitas representative only reignited long-smoldering embers of voter discontent over the city’s electoral changeover, leading to fresh allegations of official misconduct.

“We know why that part of the city is in District 3, it’s because Mark (Muir) lived, you know, over there, and we wanted to make sure that every council member wasn’t competing against one another,” Councilman Tony Kranz said during a Feb. 24 meeting.

Specifically, Kranz’s remark sparked outrage among residents online who allege the councilman’s comments revealed a collective knowledge among council members to rig the districting process in favor of Democrats.

These claims have raised questions, such as whether sitting council members violated California’s Brown Act, a “sunshine” law requiring local government business to be conducted at open and public meetings.

According to the law: “A majority of the members of a legislative body shall not, outside a meeting authorized by this chapter,

use a series of communications of any kind, directly or through intermediaries, to discuss, deliberate, or take action on any item of business that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body.”

Blakespear did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Origins In 2017, the city of Encinitas was under threat of legal action from Malibu-based attorney Kevin Shenkman to transition from at-large to by-district elections.

Shenkman and others used the California Voting Rights Act to disrupt political systems in numerous cities across the state, forcing municipalities into district-based elections with the intention of rooting out discriminatory voting practices and improving minority representation primarily for Latinos (In Encinitas, the Hispanic population has remained steady at roughly 14% as of 2019 and is spread out across the entire city).

Since then, analysis suggests that by-district elections had minimal effect statewide helping minority communities receive better representation. The Los Angeles Times reported fewer than one-third of the cities that switched to districts in response to litigation demands between June 2016 and April 2017 saw an increase in minority representation.

To sidestep a costly legal battle, the City of Encinitas requested anonymous map submissions of districting proposals. Planning Commissioner Kevin Doyle felt the idea to switch to district elections was an “awful idea.”

“We must ensure that the future councils won’t be able to gerrymander districts to their liking,” Doyle said in an article by the San Diego Union-Tribune.

“Good luck with that, but it must be foolproof.”

Doyle’s remark was

either a warning, premonition or both. After receiving more than 20 prototypes from residents and staff, city officials selected finalists, including two maps labeled “Citizens 15” and “Citizens 16.”

The “Citizens 16” map divided the city into four quadrants. But it was one quartile — District 3 — that quickly became problematic. The map looks like a crooked finger stretching from Cardiff-by-the-Sea into neighborhoods of both New and Old Encinitas.

The Coast News later discovered via public records request that former Councilwoman Tasha Boerner Horvath had drawn and submitted both “Citizens 15” and “Citizens 16,” a detail she chose not to disclose to the council or residents until after the story broke.

Boerner Horvath, now serving as a Democratic state representative for the 76th Assembly District, explained at the time her decision to remain anonymous was to allow the council to review the maps based on their individual attributes and “how they fulfilled our goals that we have set forth in this districting process.”

As previously reported

by The Coast News, Boerner Horvath further defended her actions by noting that just months earlier, the Poway City Council set a precedent when it chose as its final map one created

by Mayor Steve Vaus, who did not disclose it during a hearing when his map was selected as a finalist.

For some, it wasn’t a coincidence the council’s final two maps were drawn by Boerner Horvath. At the time, Blakespear said she didn’t believe Boerner Horvath had an obligation to disclose it, noting her maps “came from a place of knowledge” because the future state assemblywoman frequently walked the entire city.

Boerner Horvath did not respond to request for comment.

Despite rumblings of gerrymandering, secret drawings and cover-ups, the council adopted “Citizens 16” as the map for future district elections.

Boerner Horvath’s aides responded to The Coast News’ request for comment but did not provide a statement.

Fallout Former Councilman Mark Muir, a longtime conservative, suddenly found himself within a sliver of creative cartography that defined a portion of District 3.

For Muir and many others, the drawing had all the signs of a gerrymandered district. Muir lives in Old Encinitas, but District 3 consisted mostly of Cardiff residents.

And not just a little bit — Cardiff residents outnumber Old Encinitas residents, 2 to 1, according to the city's District 3 address list.

Kranz also recently acknowledged the map did not favor Muir or any District 3 candidate residing outside of Cardiff.

“There’s no question (the map) made it more of a challenge for someone that

lived in that panhandled part of the district,” Kranz said.

For Muir, who described himself to The Coast News recently as happily retired, the whole situation appeared to be a co-

“Oh yeah, absolutely I had that sense in the very beginning,” Muir told The Coast News. “Firstly, it was done secretively. They only admit to it when they get busted. And the way the

What to know before switching to solar power

D

By Summer Stephan

eciding to install solar panels is an important financial decision.

If done improperly, the installation can damage your home, leading to costly repairs. Many solar contractors are honest and reliable, but not always.

Inevitably there are cheaters working the system and preying upon the unsuspecting.

Sometimes they are rogue contractors, but mostly they are unlicensed fraudsters who cut corners or skip town with your money.

When considering solar, here’s how to prevent getting scammed: Choose the Right Contractor for Your Job

• Fraudulent contractors typically do not have a contracting license or workers compensation insurance.

• Check for a valid licensed or disciplinary actions on the Contractors State License Board website.

• For solar installation, ensure the contractor has a valid and active license in the correct classification.

The license must be in one of the following classifications: C-46 (Solar Contractor), C-10 (Electrical Contractor) or B (General Building Contractor).

• If the contractor does not appear on the CSLB website, does not have a license number, or does not have a license in the correct classification do not hire them.

• Be wary of door-todoor salesmen. An honest salesperson will not pressure you into a contract.

• Get bids from multiple solar installers.

• Ask for at least three references from prior cus-

he utility bailout plan known as AB 1054 has looked worse and worse for consumers since California legislators passed it in July 2019 under pressure from Gov. Gavin Newsom and lobbyists for Pacific Gas & Electric Co., Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric.

The typical residential electric customer has paid for more than a year toward an eventual total of $13.5 billion to be used for reimbursement of costs when utility company equipment sparks fires, something common over the last five years.

Consumer lawyer Mike Aguirre, the former elected city attorney of San Diego, from the start fought this shift of responsibility for illegal conduct by the utilities. But legislators never held hearings on the bill, concocted by an ad hoc committee that included Marybel Batyer, then a Newsom aide and now president of the state Public Utilities Commission.

How surprising was it that the PUC with Batyer presiding followed by quickly rubber-stamping this years-long dunning of the vast majority of California electric customers?

Aguirre protested SB 1054 at every step. He insisted it amounts to “unconstitutional taking” of consumers’ money.

A federal district judge refused to hold a trial on Aguirre’s constitutional arguments, claiming alleged lack of jurisdiction over state laws.

But the customers’ day in court arrives at last on April 12, when the appeal from that judge’s ruling is due for a hearing before the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The wheels of justice have ground slowly: it’s tak-

en almost two years since the law’s passage for the case against it to get its first courtroom airing.

That case seems strong. For one thing, there is no doubt the utility companies desperately wanted this bailout to pass. For it to take effect, they had to pony up $10 billion to help bankroll the new state Wildfire Fund created by the law.

They do not casually put up that kind of cash, but this time found it necessary: Without the Wildfire Fund, the criminally convicted PG&E could not have emerged from a long bankruptcy it underwent after causing deadly fires in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Questions arose at that time over whether PG&E deserved to survive, especially after it pled guilty to manslaughter in the 2018 Camp Fire that destroyed the town of Paradise and killed at least 85 persons.

Says Aguirre in his appeal brief, “Instead of reforming its safety practices, PG&E sought a legislative reprieve.

“After receiving millions of dollars in campaign…donations, legislators and even California’s governor aligned themselves with the company.”

He goes on to detail secret meetings between PG&E and top Newsom aides, including Batyer, “to determine how to ensure PG&E’s customers, not its shareholders, would pay for PG&E-caused fire damages.”

Aguirre calls those Newsom’s aides “compro-

mised.” He adds that AB 1054’s “true purpose” is not to ensure good electric service, but rather “to promote utility company finances.”

In fact, since it passed, there has been no talk of further utility company bankruptcies, a common subject every fire season for several previous years.

Aguirre argues that Newsom and his allies “pledged customer funds… even though utility companies acted unreasonably and imprudently in causing fires over decades.”

He charges that the PUC under Batyer “held a sham proceeding in which the process was illusory and the decision (to ratify AB 1054) was predetermined.”

Batyer has refused to answer questions about any of this.

Aguirre notes that rather than reforming their practices, utilities have “caused more fires and killed more people — all while (PG&E was) on federal probation for the 2010 San Bruno gas explosion that killed eight persons.”

For sure, AB 1054 amounts to a show of trust for utility companies that by their own admission behaved irresponsibly for many years.

The district judge’s refusal to hear the case has so far meant no one could cross-examine Newsom or other drafters of the bill about their motives.

One favorable outcome for consumers would be for the appeals court to throw the case back to the district judge for a full trial.

Another would be for the bill to simply be ruled unconstitutional. Once the appeals court hears the arguments, it will have to say something.

‘America is all that makes sense to them’ Exploring the urgency of immigration reform

By Hafsa Fathima

4S RANCH — For the last six years, Sooraj Sasindran and his family of four have lived a life that is resolutely all-American.

Sasindran — a 36-yearold engineer from India — bought a home in the 4S Ranch neighborhood, where he and his wife balance working remotely with parenting their two daughters.

In a pre-pandemic world, they hosted barbecues with friends on the weekends, spent days at the beach and mapped out their next trip across the United States.

It’s an idyllic life the Sasindrans have worked hard to build for their children — a normalcy that could end if immigration reform isn’t passed, he said.

Sasindran works in the United States on an H1-B guest worker visa, sponsored and employed by a local tech company.

Spouses and children of these foreign workers are allowed to reside in the US on accompanying statuses, known as the H-4 visa.

Sasindran’s eightyear-old daughter — born in India — has spent most of her life in San Diego on an H-4.

“She’s completely American,” Sasindran said, adding that they moved to California when she was still a baby.

A GROWING LINE The family has filed for green cards, but the wait for Indian nationals to receive them is exponential — possibly crossing into five decades, according to data analysis from the CATO Institute.

E mploy me nt- ba s ed green cards are capped at 7% for each country, leading to long lines for those born in India or China.

President Joseph R. Biden’s proposed U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 could offer relief if passed. It would remove country caps — the cause of green card backlogs — and protect children from “aging out” of their status when they turn 21, as per current immigration law.

“As long as immigration petition is filed before the age of 21, the dependent’s age is locked in,” said Tifany Markee of the bill’s proposed reform.

Markee, a partner at Milner & Markee in Rancho Bernado, added that children could also be eligible for work permits and social security numbers if the bill passed.

“They can work at after-school jobs, do summer internships at college because they’re no longer just H-4 [visa holders] who only have the ability to go to school,” Markee said.

“So I think it’s a huge im-

provement.”

Sasindran is still cautious about optimism, however. Unclear if the backlog would ever resolve, he decided to apply for Canadian permanent residency a few years ago.

The family was on the verge of moving north until the pandemic hit.

“She wants to be an actor when she grows up,” Sasindran said of his daughter’s early ambitions. “But I can never encourage it because I know if she’s still on H4, she can’t do it.”

Applications from 2010 are now being processed in Sasindran’s specific green card category, according to the State Department’s February visa bulletin. Because his application has gone forward, Sasindran and his daughter have of- AMERICAN DREAMERS: Brothers Daksh, left, and Vansh Gosai will age out of their status in a few years if green card reform ficially stated an intention isn’t passed.

Coronavirus

Two cases of Brazilian variant found in county

By City News Service

REGION — The number of COVID-19 vaccines arriving in San Diego County will increase by around 10% for the second consecutive week, county officials announced Wednesday, March 24, as two new cases of the Brazilian variant of the illness were reported in the county.

The new strain of the virus first discovered in Brazil may be more effective in resisting vaccines, said Dr. Eric McDonald, medical director of the county Health and Human Services Agency’s Epidemiology and Immunization Services Branch.

He added that it’s not clear if the variant makes symptoms of COVID-19 more severe or makes the virus more easily transmissible.

One case was reported in a resident with no travel history, and one in a nonresident who had traveled overseas. Neither was vaccinated and neither has been hospitalized.

“This virus evolved all the time,” McDonald said Wednesday. “We just need to be more vigilant about all the things we are already doing.”

He said it was possible that a vaccine booster shot to deal with the Brazil, South African and U.K. variants — as well as any other mutations — could be needed in the future.

As for vaccines now, San Diego County continues to have significantly more capacity to administer vaccines than supplies available. According to Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, even with the closure of the Petco Park vaccine distribution site, the county has the ability to administer 35,000 vaccines every day. Limited doses mean the actual number being injected is around 12,000 per day.

Health officials on Tuesday reported more than 823,000 people — or 30.6% of San Diego County residents over the age of

16 — have received at least one dose of the two-shot vaccines, and more than 504,000 people — or 18.8% — have been fully vaccinated.

More than 1.59 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been delivered to the region, and more than 1.44 million have been logged as administered. That number includes both county residents and those who work in San Diego County.

Fletcher said the county will continue to open more vaccination sites.

Supervisor Nora Vargas touted the county’s success in targeting more vulnerable communities for vaccines. She said 98.5% of South County seniors had received at least one dose, compared to 75.8% of seniors countywide. The same effort employed in the South Bay is being expanded to Oceanside and the City Heights neighborhood in San Diego, Vargas said.

While San Diego County remains in the red tier of the state’s four-tiered reopening blueprint, Fletcher explained three possible ways the county could move

into the orange tier, which would allow for additional business openings and increased attendance limits.

The first method is the county having a case rate below 4 new cases per 100,000 people for two consecutive weeks. The county posted 5.5 per 100,000 on Tuesday.

The second method is what Fletcher describes as most likely — the state administers 4 million vaccines to vulnerable communities in the healthy places index quartile, allowing for a loosening of the orange tier’s guidelines to 5.9 daily cases per 100,000. California has administered more than 2.9 million vaccines to these groups as of Wednesday.

Lastly, if San Diego County’s health equity metric — which looks at the testing positivity for areas with the lowest healthy conditions — and testing positivity percentage both fall into the state’s yellow tier for two consecutive weeks, the county will be promoted to the orange tier regardless of whether case rates remain high enough to qualify. The testing posi-

tivity is currently 2.4% and the county’s health equity metric is 3.4%, both in the orange tier.

The county HHSA announced 243 new COVID-19 infections and four deaths Tuesday, raising the cumulative totals to 268,160 cases and 3,498 deaths.

The number of hospitalizations increased to 233 from Monday’s 226. Of those, 81 were in intensive care units, a drop of three from Monday’s 84.

Report: Small risk of getting COVID-19 after vaccination REGION — Although the risk is tiny, infection from the virus causing COVID-19 after receiving vaccines is possible, a report published by a team of investigators revealed Tuesday, March 23.

In a letter to The New England Journal of Medicine published Tuesday, a group of researchers from UC San Diego School of Medicine and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA report COVID-19 infection rates for a cohort of health care workers previously vaccinated for the

novel coronavirus.

“Because of the compulsory daily symptom screening of health care personnel, patients and visitors, and the high testing capacity at both UC San Diego Health and UCLA Health, we were able to identify symptomatic and asymptomatic infections among health care workers at our institutions,” said co-author Dr. Jocelyn Keehner, an infectious disease fellow at UCSD. “Moreover, we were able to describe the infection rates in a real-world scenario, where vaccine rollout coincided with a surge of infections. We observed a low overall positivity rate among fully immunized health care workers, supporting the high protection rates of these vaccines,” Keehner continued.

The authors looked at pooled data from UCSD and UCLA health care workers who received either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines between Dec. 16, 2020, and Feb. 9 — including 36,659 first doses, 28,184 second doses — a period that coincided with a significant

surge in COVID-19 infections in the region.

Within this group, 379 individuals tested positive for the virus at least one day following vaccination, with the majority — 71% — testing positive within the first two weeks after the first dose. Of the group, 37 health care workers tested positive after receiving two doses, which is when maximum immune protection is expected to be achieved with both vaccines.

The authors estimate absolute risk of testing positive for the virus following vaccination was 1.19% for health care workers at UCSD Health and 0.97% at UCLA Health — both higher than the risk identified in the Moderna and Pfizer clinical trials, which were not limited to health care workers.

“There are several possible explanations for this elevated risk,” said co-author Dr. Lucy E. Horton, associate professor at UCSD School of Medicine and medical director of the UCSD Health Contact Tracing Unit.

“First, the health care workers surveyed have access to regular asymptomatic and symptomatic testing,” Horton continued. “Second, there was a regional surge in infections overlapping with vaccination campaigns during this time period.

And third, there are differences in the demographics of health care workers compared to participants in the vaccine clinical trials.”

Horton said health care workers tend to be younger and are part of a demographic which she says engage in riskier behavior such as “attending social gatherings in restaurants and bars without adequate masking and physical distancing.”

The authors found that risk of infection 14 days after second dose, when maximum immunity is expected to be reached, was rare.

Nonetheless, they also noted that risk is not zero.

While both Pfizer and Moderna report efficacy levels in the mid-90s, neither is 100%.

ENCINITAS — The Encinitas Fire Department personnel have played a key role in helping to vaccinate more than 29,000 county residents against COVID-19 over the past three months as part of “Operation Collaboration.”

Through Operation Collaboration, firefighters from across the county are working to target some of the most vulnerable hardto-reach communities and delivered the vaccinations to the farmworkers at Leichtag Foundation on March 12.

“Today, we have 125 vaccinations scheduled for the agricultural workers.

It’s great to see our firefighters and paramedics contributing to the county’s vaccination efforts,” said Fire Chief Michael Stein.

Each of the Encinitas first responders supporting Operation Collaboration had to complete training to support the county efforts to vaccinate the public.

This partnership first was set up to vaccinate first responders and was also used to vaccinate residents at long-term care facilities, including Atria Encinitas.

“Our emergency personnel have been actively serving the community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and I am proud of our efforts to join Opera-

tion Collaboration as we ensure vaccinations are provided equitably throughout our region,” said Mayor Catherine Blakespear.

Operation Collaboration is a cooperative vaccination effort, under the guidance of SD County Health & Human Services Agency and supported by two dozen fire and EMS agencies in San Diego County.

COVID-19 vaccine supplies are increasing, but appointments still go very quickly. To find out if you’re eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine and schedule a vaccination, check the county’s website at sandiegocounty. gov/coronavirus.

NCTD plans to develop transit stations

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — The North County Transit District laid out conceptual plans to fast-track development at the Carlsbad Village and, potentially, Poinsettia Transit stations during a March 16 Carlsbad City Council meeting.

Tracy Foster, the transit district's chief development officer, said the district has eyes on developing the Village station so the district can establish a long-term revenue stream.

Currently, plans are for developing on several acres of the 435-space parking lot, which is used for commuters and the public.

She said the regional transit agency board supports development, noting the success of the Oceanside Transit Center.

Additionally, Foster said concepts include an unspecified number of residential units, a potential parking garage and other amenities to increase ridership.

“Both the Village and Poinsettia (stations) have ample parking and will meet future needs, but we’ll make sure it’s preserved for future development,” Foster said. “Our consultant will tell us best use and number of units.”

Foster said the district has also conducted a development analysis for its Sprinter corridor, which services Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido.

Also, North County Transit District is looking to develop more of its property in Solana Beach, while the Poinsettia Station was included “to see what could possibly be done there,” she said.

indicators it’s happening, it’s probably happening.”

Pam Slater Price, a former Encinitas Mayor and County Supervisor, told The Coast News she would “second Muir’s motion,” noting that none of the council members raised strenuous objections or voted against the adoption of the maps drawn by Boerner Horvath.

“I think that Mark himself knows that he was districted out of his base,” Slater-Price said. “The whole thing just reeks of insider dealing. I don’t know how else to describe it. This entire council seems to be dominated by the mayor and her perspective. All but Kranz have been originally appointed by (Blakespear).

To have no diverse viewpoints on the council is unhealthy and yet this is how this particular council is being run.”

Oceanside looks at housing impacts on local farmers

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — While many residents are opposed to additional housing in South Morro Hills for fear of losing farmland, many of the farmers there see housing as a way to save their farms.

The city is looking into how additional housing may improve the situation for farmers in South Morro Hills, who over the years are facing more challenges and expenses trying to keep their operations alive.

City staff presented a draft framework for the South Morro Hills Community Plan to the Planning Commission during its March 22 meeting. Though no action was taken, the commissioners’ comments will be sent to City Council to review during its April 28 meeting.

The draft framework, according to City Planner Jeff Hunt, is intended to preserve agriculture based on agritourism and to prevent farmers in South Morro Hills from subdividing their farms into 2.5-acre lots.

Senior Planner Rob Dmohowski said a draft version of the community plan will be prepared in October, followed by an environmental review and potential adoption hearing.

The framework has six guiding principles: agricultural, strengthening community design and character, promoting agritourism, ensuring efficient infrastructure, increased safety and access, and prioritizing natural resource conservation.

The framework includes establishing a “right-to-farm” ordinance that supports and protects agricultural uses and advises property buyers of potential nuisances generated by farming. The framework also strives to conserve farmland with the best soil would like to rectify the situation by returning to at-large elections or, at the very least, hiring an independent agency to redraw the district maps later this year.

“It’s more important to me, whether we feel it’s necessary to make changes to the district boundaries, to more closely replicate the five communities that were established as part of incorporation,” Kranz said.

Kranz denied having personal foreknowledge of the maps and did not believe other council members had collective knowledge, but he acknowledged the city has shifted slightly further to the left in recent years.

“I would say it’s become much more progressive,” Kranz told The Coast News.

“I think it’s more closely in line with the majority opinion about the values we have as a city. We hear plenty of feedback from people with different perspectives.

So, the political system is working.”

Muir said he still keeps an eye on Encinitas politics and believes the council has

characteristics and avoid hampering the area’s ridgelines and views.

The most controversial element in the framework is the allowance for clustered residential development on parcels 20 acres or larger at a density of one dwelling unit per acre. Residential uses could only occur within a footprint of no more than 25% of a parcel area, with the remaining 75% being used for agriculture with an allowance for agritourism uses.

Farming has become increasingly difficult in South Morro Hills due to increasing water and utility costs, labor, regulation and competition from the world market.

To curb this, the city began pushing for agritourism in the community to serve as a supplemental income for farmers. In 2016, the city along with Visit Oceanside and the South Morro Hills Association completed an Agritourism Strategic Plan, which outlined a two-tier approach to implementing agritourism. become too partisan and homogenized under Blakespear. The former Encinitas Fire Chief remains a proponent of seating a council that represents a more diverse set of voices.

“Look at all the appointments and commission seats, they’re all Democrats,” Muir said. “I get the parties are extreme, but there are a lot of good people on the right and left.”

As for the district map situation, Muir said it doesn’t really bother him anymore. But he does worry it could happen again to another District 3 candidate.

“I don’t like being a person looking backward.

No regrets,” Muir said. “But I hope moving forward they find a way that’s more equitable, independent, logical and makes sense. And not play the games they did with me.”

Afterword In 2016, a neighborhood organization and resident, backed by Shenkman, sued the City of Santa Monica alleging at-large elections discriminated against Latinos.

The first tier emphasized public outreach, marketing, education, branding and implementing low-intensity uses like U-pick operations, farm stands, petting zoos, wine tasting and bed and breakfasts.

The second tier, which is being considered as part of the community plan, would include higher-intensity uses like boutique hotels, day spas, larger campgrounds, wedding venues, amphitheaters and larger retail operations to sell farm products.

To fully implement more agritourism uses in South Morro Hills, the city needs more infrastructure such as water and sewage.

According to Planning Commission Vice-Chair Louise Balma, who lives in the area, one way to do pay for that infrastructure is through the development of housing.

Theoretically, with this plan, a maximum of about 2,000 houses could be built with this framework but staff would only expect a total of between 1,200 and

1,700 homes to come from this plan.

The idea is that with cluster housing, more land will be preserved than the subdivision of farms into 2.5-acre lots, which Dmohowski explained would create an unsightly “pegboard” of properties that would take more farmland away than clustered housing would.

Still, several residents of Oceanside pushed back against the idea of cluster housing, noting how voters overwhelmingly turned down Measure L, which would have allowed for the controversial 585-home, North River Farms housing development.

“We can’t eat houses,” said Arleen Hammerschmidt. “We need farmland to grow food here.”

Hammerschmidt noted more people living in South Morro Hills wouldn’t preserve farmland but would cause slower evacuation times and increased dependence on vehicles, something the city is trying to curb through its General

A trial court agreed with the plaintiffs but the California 2nd District Court of Appeal reversed the ruling, noting the city’s election system did not violate state or federal laws.

But the case isn’t over.

In December 2020, the

California Supreme Court granted the plaintiff’s petition for review.

If the state’s high court upholds the reversal, cities that reluctantly made the change to district elections could have a legal basis for returning to at-large.

Plan Update.

“We want to see agritourism flourish,” Hammerschmidt said. “That does not require housing.”

Though several residents shared Hammerschmidt’s opinion, some farmers from South Morro Hills felt differently.

Michelle Castellano-Keeler, who runs a farm that sells cut flowers, fruits and vegetables and recently opened a farm stand, said traditional, commercial farming is no longer viable.

Right now, farmers who can no longer run their entire farm have the only option of splitting their properties into 2.5 acres, which Castellano-Keeler said doesn’t preserve farmland either.

“If a farmer can’t farm, it’s not worth it,” she said.

Both Castellano-Keeler and Neil Nagata, another long-time South Morro Hills farmer, favored the plan but stressed to city staff that farmers need even more flexibility going forward.

“We don’t know what the future opportunities are,” Castellano-Keeler said. “People are holding onto this antiquated idea of farming.”

Commissioner Chair Tom Rosales told staff that the framework needs some more clarity regarding transfer development rights, the housing clusters and lot sizes, as well as the impact of more infrastructure and flexibility as mentioned by the farmers.

“I think it’s a great starting point,” Rosales said.

Sweeney eager for a Padres season with big expectations

M

ark Sweeney can’t wait to yap about the Padres and yep, what a gap it’s been.

Sweeney is broadcasting Thursday’s opening day to begin a season that comes with World Series aspirations.

Sweeney, a Carmel Valley resident, knows that feeling. He was an outfielder on the last Padres World Series squad in 1998, a special season in his 14-year career.

“The common denominator between these teams is that they have a lot of fun,” Sweeney said. “I think the bond last year’s team created was only enhanced by the players they brought in.”

It was quite an offseason haul, with Encinitas’ A.J. Preller pulling the levers that delivered pitchers Blake Snell, Yu Darvish and

Del Mar plans to have fans for ’21 race season

By Bill Slane

DEL MAR — After a full race season in 2020 with empty stands thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club has announced plans to bring fans back to the track this upcoming season.

With COVID-19 case numbers and vaccinations continuing to track in the right direction, along with the easing of restrictions of fans at live sporting events in the state, the plans currently are to have as many fans in attendance as state and local authorities allow.

“We will continue to follow the guidance of local health officials and our medical advisers, but based on what has been announced for other local attractions such as the San Diego Padres and SeaWorld, we are optimistic we will have fans in the stands this summer at some level,” said Josh Rubinstein, president and chief operating officer of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club.

With the race season not set to kick off until July, plans have not yet been finalized as the DMTC will wait to see what the guidance is from local health officials.

“It’s extremely fluid right now,” Craig Dado, chief marketing officer for DMTC said. “We really don’t know what level we’ll be able to invite TURN TO DEL MAR ON A19

Joe Musgrove. They joined a roster that produced the team’s first playoff series win since 1998 and there’s that year again.

Sweeney, one of baseball’s all-time great pinch-hitters, arrived in San Diego midway through 1997 and pinched his nose. The Padres finished in last place and anticipation for the following year was just as low.

But in the offseason, then-General Manager Kevin Towers acquired ace Kevin Brown and the swagger that accompanied him. With reliever Trevor Hoffman producing 53 saves and being complemented by four other National League AllStars in outfielders Tony Gwynn and Greg Vaughn, pitchers Andy Ashby and Brown, the Padres won 98 games and the NL West.

The Padres eliminated the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves before falling to the New York Yankees in the World Series, a destination they’ve since failed to reach.

Sweeney’s role in ’98 was to bolt from the bench late in games, many hours after manager Bruce Bochy

yanked his chain.

“I would come in at 2:30 and Boch would say, ‘Sweeney, you’re in left field tonight,’ ” he said. “But at 6:30, Greg Vaughn would be the starting left fielder and I get it because he had like 20 home runs in May.” There’s no gray shade to

the Padres as they’re built to win now.

The infield’s left side is worth $640 million in third baseman Manny Machado and shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., and then there’s the standouts coming aboard in the winter.

“It’s not a stretch at all

to compare the offseasons between the ’98 team and this one,” Sweeney said.

“But I think A.J. really delivered the ‘wow’ factor.”

When the ’98 NL West was won, Padres boosters were lost in their excitement. Sweeney said the support they produced at a packed Qualcomm Stadium by being loud-and-proud stays with him.

“That’s what you dream about as a kid when your playing Wiffle ball, that energy coming from the fans that drives the sport,” he said. “Everyone talks about goose bumps and I had them.”

Sweeney, who co-hosts the popular podcast, “Major League Beginnings,” starts his 10th year with what is now Bally Sports San Diego.

He longs for those hair-raising moments again after the buzz was muted during the pandemic season of 2020.

“It has a snowball effect,” he said. “We had it in ’98 and now this year you have the factor of people eager to be in a beautiful stadium to watch a team that is supposed to be really, really good.

“I’m just anticipating a triple in the gap by Tatis, with him sliding into third showing his emotions and feeding off the fans.”

The buffet of games starts Thursday and we can’t wait. Still, the hefty weight of potential can’t be discounted.

“Last year was about hope and this year there is that expectation,” Sweeney said. “When you have that on your shoulders, you have to embrace it. Because we’ve learned success isn’t a given in baseball.”

There are no guarantees and Padres backers remember 2015. But many predict the exciting Padres will push the Los Angeles Dodgers, led by Cardiff’s David Roberts, for the division title and then make a deep playoff run.

Wouldn’t it be cool if Sweeney, who made the last out in the ’98 World Series, is there for the first pitch of the ’21 World Series? That’s a gap to fill even Tatis would be proud of.

Return of high school games a boost to would-be recruits

By Bill Slane

REGION — The return of youth sports is a critical and welcome change to life during the COVID-19 pandemic for high school athletes in more ways than one.

Thanks in large part to the advocacy of parent groups like LetThemPlayCA, based out of San Diego, high school sports like football have begun at least abbreviated seasons in the state, giving student-athletes a chance to get back to playing with their teammates — but also an opportunity to impress college recruiters.

Bodie DeSilva, who works for Scorebooklive. com and covers myriad high school sports and the college recruiting process in San Diego County, spoke about the importance of that to some athletes.

“I know there’s a bunch of colleges who have understood the situation and have held scholarships but getting these six games, or five games for some kids, is super important if you want to play at the next level, even if it's not the Division I level,” DeSilva said.

Football games started in the county on March 12, and in the battle for Del Mar Heights Road, Cathedral Catholic didn’t show any rust with a 41-0 victory over Torrey Pines.

There have already been a pair of signing days for football since the pandemic started, with a high number of athletes already committing to play at schools at the next level.

But being able to get more of themselves onto tape for scouts will be key for some of the younger athletes.

“It will be good for some of these kids to be able to say, ‘Look, maybe in these 15-16 months since you last saw me play, I added 30 pounds, I’ve grown two inches.’ Just things like that to show the schools they’ve used the time to work,” DeSilva said.

A critical part to keeping kids on the field and on the court from here on out will be compliance with health orders to make

sure transmission levels do not increase as a result of games.

Currently, rules for fans vary from district to district but generally only a handful of guests per player are allowed to attend, with masks and distancing being mandated. Coaches are also required to wear masks and players are required to wear them when on the sidelines.

“I’ve been surprised

really at how good coaches and everyone has been. I know sometimes watching college and the pros, sometimes coaches get a little sloppy about it on the sidelines,” DeSilva said. “But coaches have been awesome.”

When football teams first started their games, there was a requirement for weekly testing. But since the numbers have continued to fall in the county,

which recently moved into the COVID-19 red tier, such testing is no longer required.

The football season will be shortened to five or six games depending on the school, with no playoffs. The basketball season scheduled to tip off in the coming weeks is slated to be a relatively normal one, with postseason tournaments and championship games.

Union High School District.

Trustee Area 5 covers the southern part of the school district and includes both Carmel Valley and Pacific Trails middle schools.

“This was an extremely difficult decision due to an increase in family commitments that prohibit me from dedicating the necessary time and energy to serving as a trustee, particularly during this time of the pandemic that is demanding such unprecedented and extraordinary effort from educators,” Gibson wrote in a letter to Dr. Paul Gothold.

“It has been a privilege and an honor to serve our children and our community as a member of this Board.

I have dedicated my life to education, and will continue to do so.”

Gibson had previously worked for eight years as a member of the Del Mar Union School District board before her election to the San Dieguito Union High School District board of trustees in 2018.

On behalf of the rest of the San Dieguito Union board members, Board President Maureen Muir thanked Gibson for her time, work and dedication to the students and staff of the school district.

The departure comes as the district is still in the midst of lawsuits and debate over when and how to reopen its schools as they now will have to decide how and when to fill the newly open seat on the board.

The board of trustees will have 60 days in which to make its decision regarding the Trustee Area 5 seat with at least two options on the table.

A special election could be held to fill the seat but if the board determines that road would prove too costly they could opt to fill it with a provisional appointment.

According to the district, to be appointed “a person must meet the eligibility requirements specified in Education Code 35107 and be a resident of San Dieguito Union High School District trustee area 5.”

If the board opts for a provisional nomination

then according to district bylaws they “may interview the candidates at a public meeting, accept oral or written public input, and select the provisional appointee by a majority vote.”

Once the seat has been filled this way by the district it will post notices of the action appointing a new trustee within 10 days and the public would have 30 days to petition for a special election with the office of the county superintendent.

If no petition for a special election is made, the provisional appointment will become effective until the next regularly scheduled election for district board members.

Luxury beach resort in Encinitas celebrates grand opening

By Dustin Jones

ENCINITAS — The Alila Marea Beach Resort finally opened its doors March 17 and welcomed members of the public to tour the hotel grounds.

The 130-room hotel sits between South Ponto and Grandview beaches, complete with a pool deck overlooking the ocean, a bar and restaurant, ballrooms, meeting areas and more.

The resort will utilize local businesses for many of its guest services, including Elektra Bikes, Lofty Coffee and Vuori.

The Alila Marea also worked with the Rob Machado Foundation to promote sustainability practices.

No single-use plastics can be found anywhere on the property, General Manager Benjamin Thiele said.

The resort hopes to embody what the city of Encinitas stands for, working with residents and local businesses to better the community.

“Our team is honored to open our doors to the local community and travelers to experience our new luxury resort in this breathtaking

100 jobs to Encinitas and the transient occupancy tax expects to bring in $2 million a year to the city.

“It’s exciting for us to be able to elevate the level of accommodations that we can offer,” Blakespear said.

“I appreciate the integration into the seaside bluffs, the earth tone colors, and the integration with the local businesses to provide services on site.”

Hotel developers have been working to develop the seaside bluff for over 20 years. Time and time again, projects were considered and then fell through for one reason or another.

The Alila Marea dream became a reality through collaborative work from JMI Realty, Fenway Capital Advisors, Suffolk Construction and Hyatt.

REGION — San Diego Gas & Electric announced March 24 that residential customers will receive a break on their utility bills in the coming months, thanks the state’s efforts to fight climate change.

Due to the California Climate Credit program, natural gas customers will see their bill reduced by $17.86 in April.

This summer, SDG&E electricity customers will also see their bills offset by $34.60 in climate credits in both August and September — a total of $69.20 — when energy use typically goes up due to hot weather, according to the utility.

The California Climate Credit is a state program requiring power plants, natural gas providers and other large industries that emit greenhouse gases to buy carbon pollution permits.

The credit on customers’ bills is their share of the payments from the state program.

All residential natural gas customers will automatically receive the credit from SDG&E on their April bill.

All electricity customers, including community choice aggregation customers, will automatically receive the credit on their August and September billing cycles.

Earlier this month, SDG&E successfully petitioned the California Public Utilities Commission to eliminate the state-mandated High Usage Charge, which applies to those on standard tiered pricing plans.

Vista to consider options for single-use plastics ban

By Steve Puterski

VISTA — The Vista City Council approved bringing back options for a controlled phase-out of single-use plastics and Styrofoam within the city during its March 9 meeting.

The item was brought forward by Councilwoman Corinna Contreras and the council discussed how to best address riding city businesses of single-use plastic and Styrofoam.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the council decided a phase-in approach would be best to avoid further regulations from struggling businesses and to allow time to find suppliers and manufacturers of eco-friendly solutions.

“This is not only about plastic pollution crisis, but how it impacts restaurants trying to stay afloat,” Contreras said. “We’re not trying to create a situation that is creating more confusion or making it harder.”

Contreras said bringing the item before the council was partially due to trash and litter around the city.

As a result, the Surfrider Foundation and Oceana gave a presentation to the council in January on the impacts of single-use plastics, while at least 20 residents spoke in favor of an ordinance during the March 9 meeting.

In a moment of humor, Mayor Judy Ritter said businesses are being creative regarding single-use plastic, noting one restaurant gave her a noodle to use as a straw.

However, consumption and use of single-use plastic containers, utensils, shopping bags and more have exploded since the pandem-

Although Contreras and Councilwoman Katie Melendez pressed for a quick turnaround for an ordinance, the council approved tapping city staff to bring back a “menu” of options along with outreach to restaurants and businesses to help craft the best path forward.

Contreras, along with the council, said the options and ordinance will focus on single-use plastic items such as cutlery, straws, stirrers, condiment packets and Styrofoam packaging.

Legoland announces plan for phased reopening April 1

By City News Service

CARLSBAD — Legoland California Resort announced March 19 it will begin reopening on April 1, marking the third Southern California amusement park this week to announce plans to reopen in April.

The family-friendly amusement park featuring the famous building blocks will offer “Park Preview Days” with access to select rides and attractions starting April 1. The park will then officially reopen on April 15.

For the month of April, priority access will be offered to hotel guests, pass holders and existing ticket holders impacted by the park’s closure due to the coronavirus pandemic, officials said.

The “Park Preview Days” will offer access to rides including the Driving School, Lego Technic Coaster, Fairy Tale Brook and Coastersaurus.

All rides, shows and attractions will be available starting April 15, including the Sea Life Aquarium and Lego Chima Water Park.

Guests are required to purchase tickets and make hotel bookings in advance online in order to reserve access for a visit. Reservation information and the park’s updated health and safety protocols can be found at www.legoland. com/california.

“It’s been a long and challenging year for all of us and we are extremely excited to be able to start reopening our resort not only to our guests so they can build family memories, but for our staff who have been patiently waiting to return to work,” said Legoland California Resort President Kurt Stocks.

In early March, Legoland reopened some of the park’s outdoor attractions for “Build ‘N Play Days,” which offered access to structures within the park such as Cole’s Rock Climb and Kai’s Spinners.

Under state guidelines, theme parks are allowed to reopen at 15% capacity in the red tier. Visitors are also limited to groups 10 or fewer, and from no more than three households.

Discovery Village construction underway in San Marcos

By Tigist Layne

SAN MARCOS — The Discovery Village development project is well underway in San Marcos with more than 200 residential units expected to be ready by 2022.

The site used to be reserved for a new Scripps Health hospital until the San Marcos City Council voted to turn it into a residential development back in 2018.

The property, which is west of Twin Oaks Valley Road, at the intersection of Bent Avenue and Discovery Street, consists of two separate projects.

Discovery Village North will include stores, offices, eateries, multifamily homes, and could eventually offer a site for a new school. Discovery Village South will be a lower-density neighborhood of 220 single-family homes.

According to City Planner Joe Farace, the residential units are being built by two different developers, Shea Homes and Lennar.

“There’s 131 of them that are supposed to be a more traditional type of single-family homes that are being built by Lennar,” Farace said. “And then 89 of them are supposed to be in more of a motor court configuration, and that is going to be built by Shea Homes.

So there are two different developers and they're all doing a portion of the site.”

a lot of support for the project, especially because the city needs more housing.

“The project allows housing and development and the much-needed discovery extension through that undeveloped area of land,” Melson said. “Mostly people are concerned with the noise, which is understandable, but it will hopefully all be worth it.”

CARLSBAD — A former IT contractor who hacked into a Carlsbad company’s server and deleted more than 1,200 Microsoft user accounts in apparent retaliation for being fired was sentenced March 22 to two years in prison.

Deepanshu Kher, 32, of Delhi, India, previously worked for an information technology consulting firm that was hired by an unidentified Carlsbad company to assist with its migration to a Microsoft Office 365 environment, according to Kelly Thornton of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California.

Kher was sent to assist the company, but the company “was dissatisfied with Kher’s work” and he was later fired by his employer, Thornton said.

Prosecutors said that in 2018, Kher later hacked into the Carlsbad company’s server and deleted more than 1,200 of its 1,500 MS O365 accounts, an attack that “completely shut down the company for two days'” and created issues that have persisted to this day.

Kher pleaded guilty last year to a count of intentional damage to a protected computer.

fuel from Edison.

He added that a consent-based process, though it takes longer, gets everyone to a “place of greater certainty” regarding the transfer of spent fuel.

In February, Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm confirmed the Biden administration’s opposition to Yucca Mountain as a permanent repository and suggested that “consensus-based strategies” are needed to determine a location.

In addition to the plans, Edison also formed a coalition called Action for Spent Nuclear Fuel Solutions Now to help push the federal government to begin work on a permanent repository.

The coalition is intended to advocate for additional federal legislation, funding and policies to advance both permanent disposal as well as offsite interim storage.

Groups like the Samuel Lawrence Foundation are opposed to the concept of consolidated interim storage.

“Edison is forcing the idea of consolidated interim storage and moving radioactive waste twice,” said Bart Ziegler, associate director for the Samuel Lawrence Foundation.

“Fifty-six groups across the country oppose consolidated interim storage, as do the Governors of New Mexico and Texas.”

Rather than putting money towards interim storage, Ziegler said Edison should put all of its energy

and resources towards finding a permanent repository.

He added that the country needs a consent-based permanent repository for high-level radioactive waste.

The Samuel Lawrence Foundation believes the coalition is a cover for its “controversial storage plans” regarding consolidated interim storage and a distraction for a current lawsuit challenging its decommissioning program.

“The utility refuses to take steps to safeguard the radioactive material by keeping spent fuel pools operational after decommissioning or by constructing a handling facility to repackage the waste should the canisters be damaged,” states a letter signed by Ziegler as well as members of regional environmental groups and indigenous leaders.

In response, Dobken said Edison supports a consent-based approach for constructing a federal interim storage facility “in a willing community” while the permanent repository is licensed and constructed.

“This is the most expedient way to relocate the spent nuclear fuel at SONGS, allowing for the full decommissioning and restoration of the site, and return of the land to the Navy,” Dobken said via email. “We encourage members of the community to read our plans and lend their voices to the coalition.

Only together can we solve this long-standing issue.”

of San Marcos, told The Coast News that he’s seen some mixed reactions about the development over the past couple of years.

“I've seen some people sort of sad to see the development take place,” Melson said. “As cities grow in wide-open areas, to see it get bulldozed and blasted down and buildings coming in... sure, that's kind of sad

to see, but you know, cities get developed and housing gets made and parks get built and schools need to get built. That sort of stuff happens.”

Residents and community groups in past council meetings have also raised concerns about the new development potentially causing overcrowding in the nearby schools. Howev-

er, Farace said that there is still the possibility of eventually opening a new school on or near the site.

As far as concerns about traffic, Farace said the construction of Discovery Street is part of the project, which should substantially improve traffic conditions in the area.

Melson said that, for the most part, he has seen

develop the plan along with the utility company and an “Experts Team.” Its release of the plans is a significant part of the process stemming from the 2017 settlement regarding the coastal development permit issued for expansion of the SONGS current spent fuel storage system.

Currently, there are 123 sealed, stainless-steel canisters stored in large concrete structures on site at SONGS. The Department of Energy was supposed to start transporting spent nuclear fuel from sites like SONGS across the country to a permanent repository in 1998, but such a site was never established and those plans were put on hold.

“The federal government needs to establish a new organizational framework with autonomy and reliable funding, support consolidated interim storage, start a new repository program, and invest in spent fuel transportation readiness,” said John Dobken, spokesperson for Edison.

Joseph Hezir of EJM Associates, who served as Chief Financial Officer and Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Energy from 2013 to 2017, said the need for a consent-based permanent repository was one of the major focuses of the SONGS plans.

Along the way, the plan also focuses on the need for offsite, consolidated interim storage as a necessary

step along the way to permanent storage.

During the March 18 SONGS Community Engagement Panel, Hezir explained that transferring the spent nuclear fuel to an offsite consolidated interim storage facility would likely clear the SONGS site decades earlier than any form of a permanent repository program, which will help the plant align more with its current decommissioning plan and schedule.

“That’s not to say we don’t need a permanent repository, but moving the spent nuclear fuel to an offsite interim site is likely to move the fuel much quick-

er,” Hezir said.

The plan considered several options of consolidated interim storage, including using private facilities as well as federal, regional, multi-utility and SONGS-only facilities. Two non-federal options are currently being considered for Nuclear Regulatory Commission licenses, one in New Mexico and the other in Texas. The SONGS site could potentially receive licenses as early as this year, but a change in government opinion has shifted against the facilities, creating uncertainty about using those potential sites.

Congress recently ap-

propriated $20 million to begin work on potential federal consolidated interim storage facilities through a consent-based process.

Though this is promising, Hezir noted such a process could take at least 10 or more years to find a site, acquire licenses and construct, then likely another 10 or more years to complete transfer of the spent fuel from SONGS to the site.

Hezir then suggested a hybrid solution could be the “best way to marry” the work done already on the private facilities with bringing in the federal government for costs and title transfer of liability for the

Parents hope judge speeds school reopening

By Dan Brendel

REGION — The Parent Association of North County, an activist group sponsoring a February lawsuit against Governor Gavin Newsom and six local school districts, hopes a judge will further speed school reopening at an upcoming April 8 hearing.

Following a court order last week, some North County school districts moved to expand in-person instruction, though districts in San Marcos and Oceanside are reticent by comparison. “[Some] districts interpret [public health officials’ guidelines] as law,” said David Schneider, a San Marcos Unified parent.

When parents express their concerns about curtailed in-person learning, district officials “don’t necessarily react,” he said.

Superior Court Judge Cynthia Freeland, who’s presiding over the ongoing lawsuit, issued an order March 17 prohibiting the state’s enforcement of certain COVID-related restrictions. She also compelled districts listed as defendants “to reopen their schools for in-person instruction to the greatest extent possible at the earliest practicable time.”

Named defendant districts include San Dieguito Union High, Carlsbad Unified, Oceanside Unified, San Marcos Unified, Vista Unified, and Poway Unified.

If Freeland confirms her order April 8 — pending arguments from defendants’ attorneys — it would become a so-called preliminary injunction, in effect until a trial.

State defendants have already complied with the court order, according to Scott Davison, a Carlsbad Unified parent and plaintiffs’ co-counsel.

But “for the school districts that don’t implement a plan for full-time instruction, we will be arguing

that her order should specify that they must expand their plan to full-time and ask for a specific date for that to happen,” he said.

Vista Unified’s school board voted unanimously Tuesday to return secondary students, whose parents so desire, to campus five days per week starting April 5. Carlsbad Unified’s board voted 3-2 Wednesday — Trustees Kathy Rallings and Veronica Williams dissenting — to return secondary students five days per week starting March 29.

San Dieguito High’s board voted unanimously Wednesday to draft a formal resolution to return secondary students four days per week starting April 12; they’ll take final action on that resolution at another special board meeting March 29.

Administrations in San Marcos and Oceanside have been more reserved.

“The [school] board has asked for a review of

conditions that may allow for expanded opening on our campuses in the current school year and district staff has begun working on this,” San Marcos Unified’s administration said in a statement.

“The ruling does not change [Oceanside Unified’s] plans” to reopen secondary schools beginning next week for “hybrid” instruction (half the week in-person, half online), the district said in a statement.

“We do have those plans [to reopen for in-person instruction five days per week] in motion and will present them at the appropriate time.”

“The prevailing statewide standard is in-person learning,” Freeland wrote in her ruling. “Remote learning has led to alarming rates of depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, and substance abuse among children.”

Regulations that “perpetuate remote learning for

some students while not for others” create “an impermissible divide in access to education as otherwise guaranteed by the California Constitution,” she wrote. “If it is possible for some schools to continue to offer in-person instruction, … it must be possible, with the appropriate precautions and adherence to standardized safety protocols, for all schools to offer at least some in-person instruction.”

Disparate access to in-person education has stemmed from state regulations, which in past months permitted certain secondary schools to reopen, but not others; allowed elementary schools to open before middle and high schools; and required four feet between students in the classroom — more than the CDC’s current guidance of three feet — thereby precluding some schools’ classrooms from filling to fulltime capacity.

Carlsbad advances citizen’s police review board

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — The City Council took steps toward creating a citizen’s review board for the Carlsbad Police Department during the council’s March 23 meeting.

The city will hire a consultant to help develop a structure that enables community members to be appointed by the city council district representatives to meet and provide feedback to the Carlsbad Police Department. The council approved the motion, 4-1, with Mayor Hall voting no, citing the cost and lack of engagement from the public during four community meetings and a public survey in late January and early February.

Councilman Keith Blackburn, who spent nearly 30 years as a police office, most with the CPD, said the review-level board is the right thing to do. He pushed for a compromise between

A15

T he C oast News

the staff recommendations, which included an oversight body and continuing current practices and oversight.

“I think there is a middle ground,” Blackburn said. “The intent is not for oversight, but for the public to be heard and then goes it to the police chief and they decide what will be done.”

The city published a nearly 200-page report detailing the community meetings and results of those meetings and the survey.

According to the survey, 72% of residents trust the police department, while 59% believe in some form of civilian oversight.

Additionally, those in favor of an oversight body said transparency, accountability and trust are the driving factors.

Also, proponents said it is important to include more diverse voices in discussions, policy and under-

standing the relationship between police and the community, according to the report.

Keyrollos Ibrahim, co-founder and president of the Carlsbad Equality Coalition, said the data shows trust and need for a review board are not exclusive and show oversight is needed.

“A review-level board doesn’t dictate to a police department what changes to make,” Ibrahim said.

“Most often, that final decision still lies with the police department. We’re going to ask certain changes are made to that proposal to make sure it is indeed a review-level board and not four people who are going to have coffee with a member of the POA (Police Officers Association) quarterly.”

City staff and the consultant, though, will return to the council with potential options of how to best begin the formation of the board. Currently, the func-

tion would be for the board to receive a complaint, review and file it to an authority figure outside the department and then filed with the department to make a decision.

Ibrahim helped spearhead the Black Lives Matter march in June, while the CEC engaged with the council and CPD about a review board over the past nine months.

After reviewing police and census data, Ibrahim said use-of-force cases against Black and Latino residents are 1,000% and 200%, respectively, more than white residents.

Councilwoman Cori Schumacher said she approached the police department after being elected to discuss bias and policing of the LGBTQ+ community. Schumacher, who is gay, said the department “embraced” the trainings, which has created a better environment.

Whereas, on March 3, 2021 the City of Carlsbad Planning Commission voted 7/0 to recommend approval of a General Plan Amendment to revise the city’s General Plan Housing Element and to recommend approval of an addendum to certified Environmental Impact Report EIR 13-02. Further, on March 4, 2021, the City of Carlsbad Housing Commission voted 5/0 to also recommend approval of the General Plan Amendment to revise the Housing Element. The Housing Element Update provides the city with a housing plan or strategy for promoting the production of safe, decent and affordable housing for varying income-levels, including policies and programs on how it will accommodate its share of residential growth estimates. Approval of the Housing Element Update will not result in any development or changes to land uses or city codes. Any such changes or development will need separate and subsequent actions. The proposed action to approve an addendum is based on findings that (1) the General Plan EIR is of continuing informational value, and (2) the city has prepared an addendum to the previously certified EIR because only minor changes or additions are necessary and none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for preparation of subsequent or supplemental environmental review has occurred.

Copies of the staff report will be available on and after April 2, 2021. If you have any questions, please contact Scott Donnell in the Planning Division at (760) 602-4618 or Scott.Donnell@carlsbadca.gov.

Any information obtained may be used for that purpose. 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 (800) 280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site – www.Auction.com - for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case: 141412. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right

of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale, or visit this internet website www.auction. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case Ts# 141412 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale.

Marine commander relieved of duty due to deadly training accident

By City News Service

CAMP PENDLETON — The commanding officer of a Camp Pendleton-based Marine unit was relieved of command March 23 following an investigation into an assault amphibious vehicle training accident off San Clemente Island that killed nine service members last summer.

Col. Christopher J. Bronzi was relieved of command of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit “due to a loss of trust and confidence in his ability to command, following completion of the command investigation into the assault amphibious vehicle mishap,” according to a Marine Corps statement.

The findings of that in-

district has an aggressive timeline to get shovels in the ground — technical analysis complete in June; request for proposal by October; receive proposals

by December and a final agreement by March 2022.

Foster said the district has already satisfied a request for a proposal with a developer and is currently in negotiations. According to the staff report, 8.9 of the 13.89 acres are developable at the Village Station, although Foster nor Bryan had details on the exact scope.

Of the goals, North County Transit District aims to replace existing parking for transit patrons, improve the rider’s experience and complement the city’s long-term planning objectives and contribute to regional housing needs, especially affordable units.

“The way Oceanside Transit Center played out, we had an increase in parking,” Bryan said. “We’ll be discussing the parking needs, the business needs

fans. but of course we have a few months until opening day.”

The news comes on the heels of the San Diego Padres announcing they will have fans at Petco Park for opening day on April 1 with a 20% capacity. After seeing that announcement the DMTC felt comfortable making their intentions known as well.

DMTC says they it will comply with all guidelines from health officials in regards to masking and social distancing.

San Diego County, like many other counties in the state, has recently moved into the COVID-19 red tier with under seven new COVID-19 cases per 100K. With case numbers continuing to show positive movement, and more and more people becoming eligible to be vaccinated, the DMTC is excited to see fans come back after a strange year at the track.

Members of the unit took part in the July 30 and how to integrate those.”

The council also discussed the housing component of the proposed plan and how it would integrate with the Regional Housing Needs Assessment, which is the number of housing units a city must develop over an eight-year period and required by the state and county.

Jeff Murphy, Carlsbad’s community development director, said the transit district contacted the city several months ago about developing the parking lots.

As for housing, he said in its current state, the city’s Housing Element does not include what is proposed by North County Transit District.

“April 6 we’re going to be bringing forward the Housing Element,” Murphy said. “Once that gets adopted … and we get certified by the state, we will initiate the zoning remapping. This will be included as part of those maps.”

He said the city can estimate what would go on the site, but what gets built is what will be counted for RHNA. cial because we tend to have big crowds,” Dado said. “Without the crowds it just seemed very weird here.”

Having fans back in the stands will also bring in revenue missed from concessions and other on-track revenues. However, the DMTC said bets were actually up in 2020 thanks to an increase in online betting.

This year promises to be a big year for Del Mar for another reason —the annual Breeders’ Cup is scheduled to be run at the track in November. There are hopes that by then even more fans will be able to attend one of the biggest horse racing events of the year, which returns to Del Mar for the first time since 2017.

“I’m hopeful that by November there’s a chance that we could be back to normal. But that is way out into the horizon,” Dado said. “But barring anything unforeseen we’re very hopeful that we could see 100% occupancy for the Breeders’ Cup. But again, we need to wait and see.”

Concurrent with Bronzi's firing, the Marine Corps said Lt Gen. Steven R. Rudder, commander of U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific, placed Col. Fridrik Fridriksson in command of the 15th MEU. Bronzi’s firing is the second publicly announced in connection with the fatal accident.

Last fall, Lt. Col. Michael Regner was removed from his post as commanding officer of Battalion Landing Team, 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit “due to a loss in trust and confidence in his ability

to command,” according to the Marine Corps.

The amphibious troop-transport vehicle was en route to a waiting ship during a training mission about 80 miles west of Encinitas when it foundered for unknown reasons about 5:45 p.m. July 30.

The 26-ton vessel went down about 1,500 yards from a beach on the northwest side of the island in water several hundred feet deep.

by Naval Base Coronado.

ost family traditions are charming. But some less so.

On her way to Oregon last week, my daughter called from outside Willows, California, to tell me, tearfully, that her car had died. In the finest family style, the car picked a thoroughly middle-of-nowhere spot to poop out.

I almost got tearyeyed with the memories it brought back.

Because I always drove second-hand cars, I have experienced a lot of time pulled over by the side of the road — usually in some remote spot far from home.

It was made less painful for me because I had a dad who knew about cars and could console me and talk with whatever repair shop I ended up at, but it still blew.

I had to smile when she told me what happened and where she was. It was serious déjà vu.

But still, there is no joy in having your trusty steed go belly up. For me it was usually steam billowing out of my engine. For her it was one of the many indecipherable warning lights popping on.

Local manufacturing defies trends Report shows more job growth amid pandemic

By Steve Puterski

REGION — While the regional economy has been ravaged over the past 12 months, North County’s manufacturing sector has offered a glint of optimism after a recent report projected growth in businesses and employment in the field over the next six years.

Innovate 78 and the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation released the report estimating 6% in employment growth, while 58% of respondents are looking to increase their footprint.

The sector accounts

for $18 billion in the North County economy, although due to the COVID-19 pandemic, manufacturing in North County saw 43% of businesses revenue decline.

However, there was a 1% net gain in jobs, according to Jordan Latchford, research manager for the SDREDC. “What we found is that manufacturing is really strong in North County,” she said. “It is led by high-tech goods and services including biomedical devices, telecommunications equipment and defense-related products.”

However, the field is facing strong headwinds as automation, globalization and COVID-19 continue to impact the industry.

There are 9,804 manufacturing jobs with a higher-than-average risk of automation, nearly 24% of all

North County manufacturing jobs, Latchford said.

Investment in upskilling and re-training will be needed to help move these workers into other quality jobs over time.

Latchford said there are numerous programs and educational opportunities throughout the county to help workers advance their skills.

“We have some strong manufacturing training groups,” Latchford said.

“There will be an opportunity for some of those to be turned into quality jobs. The call to action is to be able to give them the opportunity to turn them into quality jobs.”

As for job clusters, Carlsbad and Vista have the two highest employee populations, each coming in with more than 11,000, followed by Oceanside, San Marcos and Escondi-

Cuyamaca Outdoor School turns 75 Pet of the Week

By Staff

DESCANSO — The oldest outdoor school in California celebrated its 75th anniversary March 17.

The San Diego County Office of Education is celebrating Cuyamaca Outdoor School’s anniversary all year, and is encouraging alumni to share their memories and help more San Diego County students attend camp.

“Sixth-Grade Camp continues to be an unforgettable experience, offering students the opportunity to learn and grow in many ways, get outdoors, and disconnect for a little while,” said Kris Pamintuan, principal of Cuyamaca Outdoor School.

“We are looking forward to resuming to in-person activities as soon as it’s safe to do so, welcoming

students back to camp, and continuing the tradition of connecting kids to science and nature.”

The first group of San Diego sixth graders journeyed with their classroom teachers to Cuyamaca Outdoor School for camp on March 17, 1946.

The experience of spending five days and four nights in the mountains as part of a sixth-grader’s science and social studies lessons was unusual at the time, only being done in a few other places throughout the United States.

But the concept was a good one — provide firsthand experiences in environmental education and natural sciences while, at the same time, introducing children to social situations requiring the application of democratic principles and

individual responsibility.

Seventy-five years later, the tradition continues.

During the pandemic, Cuyamaca Outdoor School is enjoying bringing camp to students virtually via Cuyamaca Home Edition.

The virtual program offers more than 50 videos created by staff, including activities, lessons, to engage students in science and connect them to nature right from their own homes.

Kickin’ off surf mat season waterspot chris ahrens

A

merican ex-pat George Greenough is not the inventor of the surf mat but is certainly its patron saint.

I’m not sure who first stitched together some strips of waterproof canvas, coated the ends with rubber and inflated the contraption to the consistency of diamond, but I first became aware of that surf craft in the 1950s as a kid who couldn’t afford a surfboard.

In those days you could find surf mats for rent at the local liquor store for a quarter. It seemed like a bargain until you spent twice that amount on lotion to soothe the rash they left.

By the mid ’80s, surf mats were rarely seen in the lineup except when surf photographers used them to snap water shots of their favorite subjects.

By then only a few people were riding surf mats, the most notable among them being the aforementioned Greenough, the man largely responsible for the “shortboard revolution” of the late ’60s. Greenough,

who ranks highly among surfing’s smartest participants, employed counterintuitive design concepts by letting much of the air from his mat until it barely floated.

One of Greenough’s main disciples, Paul Gross, began building surf mats called 4th Gear Flyers around 35 years ago.

Made with a nylon canvas deck and a soft nylon twill bottom, the mats when rolled up take up no more room than a beach towel while offering many times the fun.

It’s been about 15 years since I watched local surfer Ken McKnight ride a mat in the Encinitas area. When he let me try it, I found the exercise a lot more complicated than it appeared. I politely thanked him and returned to my good old foam and fiberglass Fish.

It wasn’t until years later that I noticed Henry Hester riding a surf mat.

Henry, one of La Jolla’s hottest imports, was touting the merits of the mat and suggested I give it another try.

I tried it again and, again, I failed, this time writing off mat riders as some weird cultists under the influence of the Greenough genius.

I bought my first mat at a trade show and proceeded to learn to ride it with-

out much success. Then I bought a used 4th Gear Flyer from Hester and began the process of learning to ride it in earnest.

Most everything I ever learned as a surfer had to be unlearned.

I quickly learned that you don’t adjust the nose of a mat’s rocker or push it into a turn. Instead, you basically let the thing surf itself.

Still, I kept trying to jam turns, and bend the tip up or down, with little to show for it but frustration.

I decided to give it one more try at Oceanside Harbor. An outside wave rolled past the surfers outside, jacked up on an inside sandbar and located me in its crosshairs.

One kick and I was in, pressing the outside rail perfectly, squirting into a turn before lying flat while feeling the lines in the wave come up through the nylon. Once the wave released me, I was hooked, and I knew what everyone was talking about.

I was on it until my mat got a hole in it that nobody knew how to fix, and I returned to other forms of riding waves.

Yesterday, I purchased a few strips of Flex Tape and applied them to the mat that has been waiting like a coiled spring for release into spring surf. I hear the harbor calling.

The vacancy rate, meanwhile, has been increasing over the past several years, however, it allows for those businesses to expand.

The 6% growth projection, meanwhile, is in part thanks to the computer and electronics industry, Latchford said.

“That’s what’s driving this manufacturing industry,” she added. “It’s not just machinery. It’s computer and electronics products and the production of high-value goods. Essentially, that follows the national trend, but we are doing better than the national trend.”

Latchford said the future is bright for North County as the region is expected to continue to outperform national trends due to its production of high-valued goods.

Del Mar council to restart utility project, hire engineer

By Bill Slane

DEL MAR — The Del Mar City Council has agreed to hire a civil engineer and restart its citywide utility undergrounding project after plans were halted last year due to the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the city’s budget.

Del Mar has been planning for undergrounding utility for some time, dating as far back as 2016 when the city passed Measure Q, a one percent sales tax,

The council had to make some really difficult decisions to focus their work plans on things that were absolutely essential.”

envisioning money raised with the measure would go into the project. In the spring of 2018, plans began to be made for specific projects to be presented.

However before anything became close to finalized, the city put a hold on the project in 2020 due to the pandemic and was forced to lay off ten percent of its staff.

Among them was the Deputy Public Works position that was heavily involved in undergrounding projects.

“The council had to make some really difficult decisions to focus their work plans on things that were absolutely essential,” said Assistant City Manager Kristin Crane.

In January, the city council directed staff to return with options for restarting the project and at their regularly scheduled council meeting staff made the request to hire a principal civil engineer to oversee the undergrounding projects and more.

The organization diverts edible food from landfills to nourish and educate the community through catering, preservation, and feeding.

When restaurants were forced to close during the pandemic, OKC rescued surplus edible food from farms, restaurants, and food businesses for local residents in need.

In 2020, OKC served more than 400,000 meals,

would have asked to bring in someone for this position as part of the regular budget process but with the restarting of undergrounding projects, the position is needed sooner.

“We’re bringing it forward now because council has interest in potentially moving forward in undergrounding so then we say that we need to get (a civil engineer) onboard even sooner because there will be work for them to do,” Interim City Manager Ashley Jones said. “There will be work that other staff may do that help with communication and other things but we need a principal engineer desperately regardless.”

The council voted unanimously to both move forward with undergrounding projects and hire a principal civil engineer with the hope to have them hired with the city by July 1.

In the meantime, the public works director will continue to take on as much of the work as they can but their capacity for it is currently limited, according to Jones.

The new position will not be a replacement for the deputy public works position cut by the city in 2020 but would replace some of the resources that the position did previously provide to the city.

“Even though we have these consultants and I’m sure they are going to do a great job, there is still a level of internal work and engineering work that we absolutely have to do and we can’t get around that,” Jones said.

The support for the new hire was unanimous with Councilmember Dave Drucker saying it’s best to start the process now to make the hiring process as easy and quick as possible for the city.

“I think it makes sense for us to start talking about bringing on a civil engineer so that they can be here July 1,” Drucker said.

“It’s going to take a while to advertise and interview, et cetera, for that position so I’m receptive to doing that.” diverted more than 350,000 pounds of food, and distributed 45,000 supplemental food boxes.

“It is an honor to be recognized by Senator Bates for my work to make Oceanside a better place to live for everyone,” Gilley said about accepting the award. “I enjoy providing delicious food to my customers and ensuring that surplus food goes to people in need instead of landfills.

“With the love and support of my community, I look forward to continuing to reduce hunger and improve our environment for many more years to come.”

In 2017, March 29th was officially designated as National Vietnam War Veterans Day by President Donald J. Trump. March 29 was chosen as National Vietnam War Veterans Day because on March 29, 1973, the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV) was disbanded and the last U.S. combat troops departed the Republic of Vietnam.

The Vietnam War was a divisive and difficult time for the United States and many veterans didn’t get the recognition for their service they should have received, which is why commemorating this holiday is so important.

We honor the nine million American men & women who served on active duty from November 1, 1955 to May 7, 1975. We solemnly remember the more than 58,000 whose names that are etched into the Vietnam Memorial’s polished black granite - names that are constant reminders of the price of freedom.

A mini vegetable garden is perfect for a small space

M

You will be taking notes about your new garden space and using your journal throughout your plant selection process.

Plan to scope out your potential garden area for the better part of the day.

Take a large potted plant and place that plant where you think it might do well on your patio, early in the morning. Take note of the sun above and any obstructions that might block the light. Large trees or a neighbor’s wall or fence might block potential sunlight in the area that will cast shade upon your containers.

The amount of sun that your container garden area will receive may determine which crops can be grown.

Vegetables grown for their fruit generally need at least five hours of full, direct sunlight each day, and perform better if they receive 8-10 hours.

Continue to move your specimen plant around the patio throughout the day to locate the sunniest part of the space, and you are ready to begin!

y gardening students always ask me how to duplicate their old backyard vegetable garden on their small outdoor patio or porch.

Many of us have moved or downsized in the past decade, and as the expression goes, “You can’t go home again!” But even if you have moved to a condominium or apartment, you still can grow vegetables, just on a smaller scale.

The key to container garden success is to face the fact that it is different.

An outdoor container requires water every day because the soil is subject to evaporation, unlike dirt in a raised bed or the ground.

Also, nutrients run through the container after water- PLANTS AND ing, so more fertilizer is CONTAINERS Gardeners can use conneeded. tainers of all shapes and sizes as long as they have adSITE ASSESSMENT If you are starting a equate drainage, are large new garden project, a site enough to support growing assessment is always in or- plants and fit in with your der.

bear fruit early but do not produce overall like other standard varieties. Many seed companies, such as Burpee, Johnny’s Seed and Baker’s Seed, have developed small varieties, so check their websites.

Small-fruited tomatoes are perfect for the larger containers, so look for varieties such as Red Cherry, Sun Gold, Sweet Million and Yellow Pear, just to name a few. Herbs such as parsley, cilantro and basil can be added as seedlings from the nursery.

RECIPE FOR SUCCESS This is a container garden I have grown for years with great success. It is also an excellent project to do with children since it is all done on a small scale.

straight from the garden, so purchase a good quality potting mix and ask your nursery professional for suggestions.

YOU WILL NEED: • One tomato (use small varieties listed above) • 6-pack of greens (leaf lettuce, arugula or Swiss chard) • 6-pack of peas or pole beans (pole beans grow tall, unlike bush beans) • Package seeds: Radishes, lettuce, Swiss chard, arugula, carrots (any seed that has a short growing period will sprout quickly) • Tomato cage • One large container (usually called 5 gallon) • Potting soil (see above)

place broken terra cotta pots or plastic peanuts at the bottom of your container. Fill the container with potting soil, watering as you fill. Soil should be damp.

2. Place tomato plant in the middle of soil, and push tomato cage into the container, surrounding tomato.

3. At the edge of each metal prong of cage, place seedlings of peas and beans. These will grow up the cage, and will need tying eventually.

4. In a circle on the edge of the container, place seedlings of lettuce or other greens. Scatter seeds in the holes, as they will develop at a later date.

5. Press all seedlings firmly in holes and water gently. The soil will be damp, so don’t overwater.

6. Place in the sunniest part of your patio, water daily and tie up beans and peas as they grow. Cut greens on a daily basis, which encourages new growth.

In Orange County, room to roam with views to boot

I

t’s been a year since the powers-that-be declared the planet a pandemic-plagued place and people woke to find that normalcy had vanished.

It was in March 2020 that every facet of our lives changed and the New Normal arrived. For too long, even the parks, beaches and urban trails were off-limits to humans. We were relegated to walking our neighborhoods, which was more than some countries allowed, so we tried to be grateful. But honestly, that did get old.

Now, “light at the end of the tunnel” is an oftheard phrase and we’ve begun stepping out beyond our subdivisions with guarded optimism.

To celebrate — no, let’s just say to mark — the oneyear anniversary and a partial return to moderate normalcy (notice that I’m being cautious), we met with friends Brian and Sandy to explore the Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park (https://www.ocparks. com/parks/aliso), east of Laguna Beach in Orange County, about a 40-minute drive from Oceanside.

Our friends were fa-

THERE ARE 30 trails of varying difficulty at Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park in Orange County east of Laguna Beach. The park, at more than 1,000 feet altitude, offers a 360-degree view of the coast, Orange County and beyond. Photo

miliar with the park; we weren’t.

First impression: Who knew there was so much open space in Orange County? As in 4,500 acres, 30 miles of trails, two yearround springs, some rare vegetation, an animal preserve and killer views.

These acres of open grassland, rugged coastal canyons and riparian woodland once were a major win-

tering spot for two Native American tribes who were eventually relocated by the Spanish to the Mission San Juan Capistrano. After Mexico won its independence from Spain, the area was divided into private land grants.

In the first half of the 1900s, herds of sheep grazed on the hillsides, and in 1979, developers donated 3,400 acres to Orange Coun-

ty. Further land acquisitions and donations expanded the park to its current 4,500 acres.

Kudos to those who had the foresight to preserve this land; we know the surrounding cities would have expanded ad infinitum if given the space and opportunity.

We parked at the aptly named Top of the World Park (officially Alta Lagu-

na Park), which belongs to Laguna Beach. A grassy haven with a playground, shade trees, picnic tables and well-maintained restrooms, this small park next to the big park sits at 1,036 feet and offers a view of much of Orange County on a clear day, which it was.

From this perch, we also could see San Clemente and Santa Catalina islands, the surrounding suburbs, foot-

hills and mountains, Camp Pendleton to the south, and the Los Angeles County line to the north.

A sumptuous combination of cirrus, cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds mushroomed across the sky like a bomb had been detonated, and though we could see some fierce weather across the distant landscape, we remained dry.

Walking the park’s trails was like opening a Christmas present.

An easily readable map lets hikers choose their levels, from easy to difficult.

The trails are wide and clean, and although there is evidence of some erosion from earlier rains, there is still plenty of path for social distancing.

With the perfect weather and 360-degree views, it was difficult not to gloat a little knowing that a goodly swath of the country would soon be in the grips of a blizzard.

To round out the perfect day and to reward ourselves for conquering the hills, we enjoyed a late lunch at The Cliff Restaurant (https:// w w w.thecliffrestaurant. com), so called because diners sit on multi-level decks overlooking a 180-degree panorama of Laguna Beach.

The food was equal to the view.

in every bottle.

Intense aromas of lilac, violet and spice enhance the complex bouquet.

The palate bursts with luscious flavors of blueberry, boysenberry, plum, all underpinned by striking minerality. A long silky finish reveals the power and finesse of the DAOU Mountain provenance. daouvineyards.com.

• Far Niente Estate Chardonnay, Napa Valley, 2018. $70. Our only white wine is a sizzler that hits home on the chardonnay legacy. Far Niente helped build the chardonnay category.

The 2018 bottling is timeless in style with its citrus-honeysuckle, accented with notes of white fig, gardenia and toasted oak. farniente.com.

• La Storia Trentadue Cuvee 32 Alexander Valley, Sonoma, 2018. $36. What happens when you blend 45% sangiovese, 31% montepulciano and 24% merlot?

You get a Cuvee for the ages, a “Super Tuscan” style and the top seller in the Trentadue Tasting Room.

The 2018 version gives you dark red color, bright fruit and firm acidity.

It’s the most remarkable vintage in its 21 years. It scored Best of Class Gold in the most recent San Francisco Chronicle competition. trentadue.com.

• Northstar Merlot Columbia Valley, Walla Walla, Washington, 2013. $25. A 92-point winner in Wine Spectator. This release is going on eight years old with no hard edges and incredible smoothness. Plush in texture but not weighty, it layers blueberry and currant flavors with hints of cream. This is a tasty Merlot masterpiece. northstarwinery.com.

Rico’s Picks

Thanks for the handoff, Frank. Love your selections above. Many we shared together.

We are indeed in store for a great trip up north for some of the finest that Paso Robles has to offer.

I look forward to paying tribute to the wine heroes you mentioned above, and I too will be finishing up my packing as soon as we wrap up this column.

T he C oast News • Belle Glos Dairyman Pinot Noir Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, 2018. $55. After selling Meiomi to Constellation in 2015, Joe Wagner created the Belle Glos lineup until starting his new Copper Cane label, with Dairyman being one of three in the series along with Clark & Telephone and Las Alturas.

Dairyman has a deep ruby red hue with boysenberry, cherry and spices mixed with vanilla on the nose along with cranberry, cherry and hints of cocoa on the palate.

This complex pinot has lively flavors with a graceful finish. belleglos.com.

• Falkner Amante Super Tuscan Style, Temecula Valley, 2017. $60. Another Super Tuscan style wine for our list.

This one is from one of Temecula Valley’s premier wineries. Falkner’s blend brings together sangiovese (50%), merlot (30%), cab sauv (10%) and cab franc (10%).

This garnet-colored beauty has an amazing bouquet with hints of caramel and black cherry, blueberry, and raspberry on the palate. Your next pasta, veal, or beef dish is waiting for this wine. falknerwinery.com.

• Flora Springs Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 2016. $50. This 90-point Wine Spectator cabernet sauvignon is sourced from sustainably farmed estate vineyards in St. Helena, Rutherford, and Oakville.

French (70%) and American (30%) oak aging for 18 months creates smooth tannins and storability for 10-plus years.

Inviting flavors of blackberry and cassis with whispers of vanilla and mocha make this an ideal choice for beef and lamb. florasprings.com.

• Justin Isosceles Blend Paso, Paso Robles, 2017. $76.

Isosceles was a perfect companion for the Cardiff Seaside Market Tri-Tip I recently served at a soiree.

This Justin flagship blend, named after an isosceles triangle, is mainly cab sauv (83%) with near equal parts of cab franc (9%) and merlot (8%).

It has been a while since I had an Isosceles and this was a perfect reminder of what I have been missing.

The hot 2017 year with a September cool-off created full-bodied ripe black fruit and spice flavors. justinwine.com.

• San Simeon Petit Sirah, Paso Robles, 2018. $23.

At $23 or less, San Simeon’s Petit Sirah is one of my favorite everyday wines.

I love to cook on my Kamado Joe smoker and whether it’s pork butt, pork sirloin roast, baby back ribs, etc., the jammy full-bodied blackberry and plum palate with vanilla and baking spice of this Petit Sirah is always a winner with pork dishes. sansimeonwines.com.

Exploring a house of meditation soul on fire Susan Sullivan

W

ith things opening back up and new demands returning in the household, do you have a plan to stay centered? Are you feeling anxious after this year-long sabbatical of isolation?

How is your spiritual practice going? Are you ready to go back into the world full throttle?

Before you ramp back up, you might want to add a regular meditation practice to your arsenal to handle life on life's terms.

You will notice a common theme within all the articles in this column.

The answers are all within. The world is only going to change from within. To have a Soul on Fire, one must hear that still small voice within.

How do we go within?

Suppose we could just get still.

Rumi wrote, “There’s

To her credit, my child handled it, calling a half-dozen garages until she found one that could deal with her ASAP. Her delay was small

a voice that doesn't use words. Listen.”

But how do we get there?

I want to introduce Maggie Kelly to the readership. She has created a space that allows a person to remember who they are and why they are here —The Satsang House. Satsang, loosely translated, means a community that joins together searching for truth.

Maggie was in middle management for HBO and got ground down like most of us who end up on a path to awakening. Chronic illness, divorce, kids with their own set of problems brought Maggie to a place where she was looking for a way out. Feeling stuck, she just needed help from the turmoil she found herself in and knew there had to be a better way.

In 2006, she took classes at the Chopra Center when it was in Carlsbad. In 2016, she became a Chopra Certified Meditation Teacher and now coaches, teaching meditation practice, guiding many into the return of their authentic spiritual self.

Using an ancient Vedic method of astrology, she discovers your unique Mantra.

A Mantra is a word or sound that aids in concentration during Meditation. According to this Joytish method, the universe made a distinctively individual sound when each of us was born.

A Primordial Sound. This is the method and vehicle behind the chatter of your mind. One has a place to land, on the Mantra, when our thoughts go off in different directions — known as the “monkey mind.”

“People learn to relax as a by-product of learning their unique mantra,” states Kelly. “There’s a silent state that exists within you, but we’re the ones who cover it up with texting and computers and constant notifications. When we return to the grounded state that is our spiritual self, we stop striving. We stop suffering.”

Before the shutdown, Maggie opened up her unique one-acre property near Rancho Santa Fe, a meditation practice just by walking the grounds through the gardens.

There were gatherings or Satsangs, potlucks, spiritual book studies, full moon meditations, and special brunches for Father and Mother’s Day. Monthly community gatherings where

people on the path could connect with like-minded seekers, even Tibetian Buddist Monks would come by to commemorate the opening of The Satsang House every October and introduce teachings.

With proper protocols in place, I'm excited to announce she is opening once again. She has continued to guide people with three weekly free meditations online via Zoom. Several workshops are being developed to reignite your life with intention setting and transcending habitual patterns—spiritual discourses on character skills followed by guided Meditation.

The big news is a second Satsang House in Sedona, Arizona, a Retreat Center that Maggie is excited to launch with Cathedral Rock views replete with a creek running through the grounds.

Check out all the offerings on her website, www. satsanghouse.net, where you can find more information, make an appointment and get details of upcoming events and classes.

Maggie Kelly has a Soul on Fire and a passion for creating world peace, one meditator at a time.

and she got to the Portland Airport to meet her husband only half a day late.

The real casualty of her car trouble was one of her suitcases, left by the side of the road. It had to come out to make room for the tow guy to try some quick fixes (which didn’t work).

She hopes to reclaim it on her way back down California.

Sharing a penchant for minor accidents and general driving mayhem with my girl child is not the family tradition I would have chosen to set in stone.

Of course, I taught her to drive, so no real surprise there.

And she got away with many years of a well-running car because I passed down my Prius to her. The

key words here are “many years.”

We will keep patching it up, however, as long as we can. It’s our family tradition.

MARCH 26, 2021

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) With change dominant this week, don’t be surprised to find new facts emerging that could put another slant on a situation and offer you another choice.

Think it through before you decide.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) There could be some lingering problems from a previous matter that involved a decision you felt you had to make.

Resolve the situation with your strong Taurean no-nonsense approach.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The Gemini’s carefully made plans could be undone by someone’s unexpected decision. Getting the full story behind that surprise move can help you decide how to deal with the matter.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Recently uncovered information might put a new light on a situation you thought had been resolved. Keep an open mind about possible changes that you might have to consider.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) With a potential revision of an old agreement, you can’t beat the Big Cat for knowing how to sharpen a “clause” to the best advantage. Someone close could have the news you’ve been waiting for.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Certain issues in the workplace could put you in the middle of a dispute you’d rather not deal with.

Express your honest feelings before the pressure to take sides builds up.

TRIVIA TEST ANSWERS

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might feel uneasy disagreeing with someone you’ve been close to.

But your relationship should be able to withstand and even thrive when confronted with your true feelings.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A romantic situation seems to be creating more confusion than you can handle. If so, own up to your feelings. The sooner you do, the better your chances are for working things out.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) With change directing the Archer’s aim, consider a second look at your plans and see where they might benefit from a revision. A workplace matter is close to a resolution.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) New contacts help you learn some important information about upcoming developments. The week calls for the Sea Goat to be more flexible than usual in a number of matters.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) With both change and uncertainty in your aspect, you might feel less confident in a previous decision.

That’s OK. Check it out and see where it could be modified, if necessary.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Old relationships that seemed to be sinking are buoyant again, and new relationships are benefiting from Cupid’s loving care. This could be a good time to make a major move.

BORN THIS WEEK: While you prefer to tread your own path, you’ll go out of your way to help someone in need. © 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.
