Veterans, active military and their families honor the fallen on Memorial Day in Oceanside

By Caitlin Steinberg

OCEANSIDE — In the midst of COVID-19, veterans, active-duty soldiers and their families honored the sacrifices of American troops while following social distancing guidelines from the safety of their vehicles during a “rolling salute” on Memorial Day at the Oceanside Municipal

Airport.

The mobile event, presented by Patriot’s Voice Foundation and Power of One Foundation, was one of a few Memorial Day ceremonies in San Diego County allowing spectators and visitors of any kind.

Four iconic San Diego locations, including Fort Rosecrans National Cem-

etery, Miramar Cemetery, Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial and the USS Midway Museum, streamed live virtual commemorations due to restrictions on large gatherings during the coronavirus pandemic.

In Oceanside, the rolling tribute was hosted by Emmy-nominated actor Jack Scalia and featured

guest speaker Rep. Mike Levin (D-San Juan Capistrano) and live music by musician Jeff Senour — all of which was broadcast through car radios. A “missing man” table was set up near the stage, honoring the lives of POW and MIA soldiers.

Gretchen Heffler, a member of Bugles Across

America, played taps several times and singer Sabrina Von Bogenberg performed the national anthem.

A caravan of vehicles, many adorned with American flags, circled the airport parking lot while stopping at four stations where volunteers, including members of Veterans Association of North County

(VANC) and Team Rubicon, provided 100,000 pounds of food to approximately 2,107 military members and their families. Volunteers also delivered boxes of food to disabled veterans unable to attend the event.

Carlsbad merchants excited, nervous about reopening

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — Business is slowly starting to return and small business owners are thrilled.

Tommy Gomez and his wife, Stephanie, opened their clothing store Ooh La La on May 21, one day after Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a number of counties, including San Diego, could re-open restaurants and retail stores after state and county health orders closed non-essential businesses due to the COVID-19

Gomez said he expected re-open until 2021. He was at least a six-month closure, thrilled with the news and

also the communication between the city of Carlsbad, Carlsbad Village Association and the merchants.

“I never would of imagined something like could have happened,” Gomez said. “It’s been tough, but I think we got a great city mayor. I think the city of Carlsbad has done an amazing job and always kept in touch with us. For that, I’m really thankful.”

As a high-end women’s boutique, Gomez said his store will follow the guide-

lines, but mostly he was happy for the restaurants, which drives much of the traffic to Carlsbad Village. In turn, those retail businesses feed off of those shoppers.

But since the pandemic hit, uncertainty has gripped most business owners. The Gomez’s did not file for any federal assistance, but many others did.

Regardless, Gomez sang the praises of Christine Davis, the executive directors of the Carlsbad Village Association. Davis,

along with Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce President Bret Schanzenbach, have been working long hours to ensure all businesses in the city are kept in the loop regarding the latest information and resources available.

More than 1,000 hotel rooms to help homeless sit empty

By Tigist Layne

REGION – A review of public records by the LA Times found that only about half of the hotel rooms acquired by California to house homeless individuals amid the COVID-19 pandemic are actually occupied.

In San Diego County, only about 19% of the 1,617 hotel rooms have been filled.

In early April, Gov. Gavin Newsom launched Project Roomkey in an effort to provide shelter for homeless individuals as well as the general public who need a place to quarantine due to COVID-19.

The program is largely funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which has committed to reimbursing state and local governments for 75% of the cost of leasing hotel rooms and providing services, which include meals, security and custodial services, as well as behavioral health and health care services if needed.

According to the county’s federally mandated Point-in-Time Count, also known as WeAllCount, there are more than 7,500 homeless people in San Diego County, almost 4,000 of them are unsheltered.

Craig Sturak, a spokesman for the San Diego County Health Department, told The Coast News that San Diego County started procuring hotel rooms before

PROJECT ROOMKEY is a statewide effort to temporarily shelter homeless populations amid COVID-19. In San Diego County, health officials secured 1,617 hotel rooms for the effort, but only 301 rooms have been used. Photo courtesy of LA County

Project Roomkey was developed.

As of May 22, the county had secured 1,617 hotel rooms. Of those rooms, 1,375 of them are County of San Diego Public Health Rooms, which are intended for the general public (homeless or not) who require a place to quarantine and are unable to do so because of their living situation. Only 103 of these rooms are currently occupied.

The remaining 222

rooms are managed by the Regional Task Force on the Homeless (RTFH) and intended specifically for homeless individuals who are considered high risk due to being 65 or older or having health conditions.

Of these 222 rooms, 198 are currently occupied.

In total, just 301 rooms have been filled in San Diego County, which is about 19% occupancy. However, the county is only charged for the rooms that are filled,

not for the total number of rooms that have been acquired.

“We procured [the rooms] in expectation of a larger number of individuals being exposed or infected and requiring a place for isolation,” Sturak said.

“So far during this ongoing health emergency, we have not had the demand that we initially anticipated.”

Of the 222 hotel rooms under RTFH, 120 rooms are being managed by Inter-

faith Community Services, which is headquartered in Escondido.

Interfaith CEO Greg Anglea told The Coast News that all of their 120 rooms have been filled.

“We have homeless outreach teams that work with law enforcement in each individual city, and those teams selected the individuals who moved into those hotel rooms because they knew them and they knew that they had underlying

health conditions,” Anglea said. “They also had some sense that the individual would be successful in a hotel shelter environment.”

It is unclear if the county has implemented similar programs or efforts to fill hotel rooms or what the county’s process is for identifying individuals who may need to shelter in these rooms. It is also unknown how long the county will hold on to the rooms.

When asked why Interfaith didn’t take on more hotel rooms, Anglea explained that they can’t manage additional rooms without hiring more staff.

“These hotel shelters require a lot of staff support because these are many people who have been homeless for years, maybe decades, and some have disabling health conditions,” Anglea said. “We don’t have enough staff to provide all of that support for more rooms.”

Anglea added that Interfaith is currently hiring, but doesn’t believe they will have the opportunity to manage more rooms through this specific program.

“It’s important to note that there are services at these sites that go beyond simply providing a room,” Sturak said. “We have wraparound services on site to support those who need assistance. So securing these rooms should be viewed in the context of our regional response to COVID-19.”

County, Rady aim to increase COVID testing REGION — Rady Children’s Hospital and San Diego County announced a collaborative COVID-19 testing initiative May 27 aimed at testing up to 2,000 children and their families per day.

The COVID Collaborative for Children will provide testing for Rady’s young patients, as well as their parents and caregivers regardless of symptoms, county and Rady representatives said at a Wednesday morning news conference.

The testing is optional and will be provided during the patients’ existing appointments, according to Rady COO Nicholas Holmes.

Children who appear at Rady’s urgent care or emergency care departments will also be offered the test regardless of their purpose for visiting.

“The intent is to test every patient we see, not just the high-risk patients, and provide the testing in a convenient setting,'' Holmes said.

Holmes said the testing has already been implemented at its urgent care and emergency departments and would be expanded to the system’s clinics and primary care visits in the first week of June.

However, parents won’t be able to schedule appointments solely to acquire tests, he said, as testing is part of the patient’s regular visit.

Rady President and CEO Patrick Frias said the testing will also be provided for young patients and their families at other county health systems.

Holmes said the initiative would begin with about 400 tests per day before ramping up to around 2,000 daily tests.

“Widespread, continuous testing for COVID-19 is absolutely critical to protecting our public health and moving forward with this pandemic,” Holmes said.

County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said the initiative “will help us greatly in better detecting the early cases of coronavirus positives, and then to be able to get to work tracing those close contacts, checking those individuals and properly isolating those who are positives.”

Restaurants start to reopen over holiday weekend

By Caitlin Steinberg

ENCINITAS — Over Memorial Day weekend, restaurant owners opened their doors to dine-in customers after San Diego County unexpectedley loosened restrictions on May 21.

Adjusting their physical layouts, staffing schedules, disinfection and sanitization procedures and waste removal, among other variables, restaurant owners scrambled to fully re-open almost a month earlier than originally expected.

Darren Campbell, owner and operator of Le Papagayo in Leucadia and Beachside Bar and Grill in Encinitas, opened Le Papagayo for dine-in customers this Memorial Day weekend.

“We knew right away that it was going to be hard but that we could make an effort to open by Friday night,” Campbell said. “We had 48 hours to finalize all

the proper safety protocols and equipment, to redesign the floor plan and pull it all together.”

If there are lingering fears over the safety of eating in public places, they weren’t present in Le Papagayo over the holiday weekend.

“The response has been absolutely phenomenal,” Campbell said. “I haven’t received one complaint.”

Implementing voluntary temperature checks at the door, socially distanced dining tables, and a manager solely on site to supervise sanitization and crowd control, Le Papagayo enjoyed a busy weekend, Campbell said.

Leucadia Pizzeria also opened its doors over Memorial Day weekend, taking walk-in customers only.

The Pizzeria’s Encinitas location’s manager, Alex Valencia was excited to see the restaurant fully open up.

“We’ve been really busy with delivery and pickup throughout Coronavirus, so this was great,” Valencia said. “We were really fortunate not to be closed down this entire time so it wasn’t too difficult to just open up the dining room.”

For Leucadia Pizzeria, the greatest challenge in opening up their dining room for service were the customers themselves.

“The greatest obstacle was getting customers to come in and be respectful of each other’s space,” Valencia said. “Everyone has to wear a mask when they come in and dine. They keep it on until they sit down at their tables to eat but when they get up to use the restroom or to leave they have to put it back on.”

“It was good for the public that wanted to get out of their homes and the employees who want their old jobs.”

While the county opened San Diego restaurants ahead of schedule, it is still unknown whether the industry was opened up early enough save struggling restaurants.

“Whether your restaurant survives is going to come down to your floor plan and your business model,” Campbell said. “A lot of restaurants did really well when they went to take-out but not everyone.”

With dining tables spaced 6 feet apart per social distancing requirements, restaurants in smaller square footage spaces will only be able to legally serve a small number of dine-in customers at one time, whereas physically larger restaurants can serve more.

“There’s a ton of factors at play,” Campbell said. “Based on a restaurant’s square footage as well as rent and what is financially required to make ends meet, some businesses

may have trouble surviving.”

Lingering fears of the virus aside, during the holiday weekend, dozens of residents could be seen sitting out at other Leucadia restaurants such as Pannakin Coffee and Tea, relaxing with their families and friends in a sight unseen since before Coronavirus.

On Saturday during Mayor Catherine Blakespear’s weekly Facebook Live, a resident asked the question, “should we see a resurgence of cases in Encinitas, what is your plan of action? Could Encinitas go back to Phase 1 if you felt we had to, even if the County would stay at Stage 2?”

Blakespear answered, “The City of Encinitas is following the County health directives and I don’t foresee that our cases would be different from other surrounding [cities.]”

For now, local Encinitas restaurants are officially open for the summer.

Budget cuts loom large over Carlsbad, Vista school districts

By Steve Puterski

REGION — School districts across the state received unwelcomed news regarding Gov. Gavin Newsom’s budget proposal.

The governor’s preliminary budget, which was released May 13, calls for a 10% cut to education as a result of a $54 billion budget deficit due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Carlsbad, the projected cuts may result in a $9 million loss in funding, while Vista is estimating a $20 million reduction in funds.

All options are on the table, according to board district’s administrative leadership. As for the Carlsbad Unified School District, Assistant Superintendent Chris Wright said layoffs are not being discussed, while the Vista Unified School District board of trustees and administration said during

its May 21 special meeting potential furloughs, layoffs and other cuts are possibilities.

And while Newsom’s budget calls for a 10%, Wright and his VUSD business services counterpart, Ami Shackelford, said due to the cost of living adjustment figures push the total reduction to 7.92%.

“Per their guidance, as of right now if it holds, they are going to add funding to special education and STRS and PERS,” Wright said of the State Teachers and Public Employees retirement systems’ pension funds. “We’ll have to make really good smart decisions on how to reduce so we absolutely minimize the impacts to students and staff and families.”

Both districts reviewed the May revised budget, which was also analyzed during a forum by

the School Services of California last week, Wright said. The state must pass its Fiscal Year 2020-21 budget by June 30, which is after each district expects to pass their budgets.

Newsom’s budget cuts, though, are tied to the HEROES Act, a $3 trillion bill for coronavirus relief. If the act is signed by President Donald Trump, the funds allocated for states would backfill the proposed cuts by Newsom.

Wright and Shackelford, though, said they are wary of the strategy and are not relying on the funding as Wright said U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will not act on the bill.

“There’s a bunch of a triggers in the budget if we get federal money,” Wright said. “I’m not hopeful for the federal money at all.

It’s (HEROES Act) got a

lot of weird stuff in there.

We’ll plan for the worst and if something better happens, then great.”

Wright said Newsom’s budget had some rays of light, noting the increase into special education funding and lowering the pension debt requirements. However, Wright said higher pension responsibilities could come back on district’s in the future and once tax funding returns as the economy recovers.

In Vista, meanwhile, the district had already cut $13.9 million from the FY 2020-21 budget before the pandemic crushed tax revenues relied on by school districts for funding. VUSD is looking at an additional $20 million reduction in funding, putting the district in a more financially desperate situation.

The school district has

seen a reduction of about 8,000 students over the past 15 years due to transfers and charter schools, which has a direct impact on funding.

Pre-pandemic, the state used student attendance as one of the main funding formulas, but this year it has been changed to enrollment as schools transitioned to distance learning.

Still, Shackelford said VUSD may be ease the $20 million reduction through several sources including up to $2 million less in pension costs and a potential $4.1 million in Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Funds.

“We can also get a temporary loan from the county,” Shackelford said.

“The next six weeks there will be a lot of changes and information coming our way.”

State schools brought kicking, screaming into the 21st century

Money, race linked to virus problems in senior homes

T

he headlines make it clear. So do the statistics on who is most likely to be infected and then killed by the novel coronavirus: Residents of homes for seniors are most at risk, whether the facilities are nursing homes, skilled nursing or something else.

Minorities are not far behind, especially when they live in nursing homes.

About half the roughly 4,000 persons killed by the virus in California so far lived in such facilities during their declining months and years.

Simultaneously, the percentage of African American and Hispanic Californians in the COVID-19 infection and death statistics significantly exceeds their percentages of the overall populace.

Of course, an outsized portion of those groups also suffers from pre-existing conditions including obesity, lung disease and diabetes.

There is almost certainly overlap between death statistics at senior homes and overall numbers for minority infections and deaths, as Gov. Gavin Newsom well knows while mulling an attempt by the senior housing industry to gain legal immunity for all its virus-related actions, even criminal behavior.

If there’s statistical overlap, it’s probably because — as several studies since 2007 indicate — care is often inferior in nursing homes catering primarily to minorities compared with ones whose residents are mostly Caucasian.

This is true in California and nationally. Figures published in mid-May revealed that people in homes with more than 25% minority residents are more than twice as likely to contract the virus than residents of homes catering mainly to whites.

california focus thomas d. elias Studies comparing quality of care come from accomplished outfits like the Center for Public Integrity (“Nursing homes serving minorities offer less care than those serving whites”) and the State University of New York at Stony Brook (“Nursing homes in minority neighborhoods provide poorer quality care”).

Their findings are partly because nursing homes serving minorities depend more on funding from Medi-Cal or Medicaid than those mostly dealing with whites.

The same studies find that the greater a facility’s dependence on low-income public health funding programs, the more fiscal pressure on it.

How severe is that pressure? Medi-Cal payments for nursing home patients average about $217 per patient per day, state figures show. That’s far below the cost of hiring an in-home caregiver for 24-hour coverage, which patients should get in nursing homes.

This sad picture demonstrates a strong need for a thorough state investigation of senior home treatment of minorities — during the current crisis and before.

This should be a major priority for Newsom, whose administration has been largely passive while nursing homes in locales as varied as Riverside and Tulare suffered clusters of coronavirus deaths.

Meanwhile, senior homes are active in a broad lobbying effort by the health care industry to convince Newsom he should shield such facilities, plus doctors and hospitals of all types, from lawsuits and

prosecution, even if their conduct led to COVID-19 fatalities.

With legal immunity, plaintiffs would have to prove willful misconduct to win a lawsuit. Even without immunity, California has a decades-old maximum of $250,000 in pain and suffering damages for medical malpractice.

States like Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Iowa have already granted varying levels of immunity.

But Newsom gets more pressure than most governors from nursing home reformists and families who have lost loved ones.

Said Michael Conners, an advocate with the watchdog group Californian Advocates for Nursing Home Reform (via email), “Giving nursing homes license to commit elder abuse right now is a recipe for disaster.

What’s more, the scope of immunity being sought is not limited to nursing homes that accept COVID-19 patients.”

Added Oakland civil rights lawyer John Burris, “(Immunity) incentivizes bad conduct.”

Reformists say that rather than granting immunity (it’s uncertain that even emergency powers give Newsom that authority), the state should move to ensure uniformly thorough sanitation in all senior homes, better pay to help draw higher quality caregivers and adequate personal protection equipment for them to use.

So far, there are no signs of change or an investigation, despite the dramatic evidence of racial and economic differences, especially in nursing home care.

The bottom line: It’s high time state government examines both the many senior home fatalities and their apparent racial and economic components.

The pandemic has catapulted California schools kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

Public schools will likely never return to the onesize-fits-all rigid “seat minutes” structure of just a few months ago. And it’s about time.

For 25 years many charter school leaders including me have been working to redesign schools to more flexibly serve students in the modern world.

Nevertheless, our movement has been denounced, criticized and minimized by the educational old-guard.

The traditional public school system is slow to change and unwilling or unable to recognize the benefits of a more flexible school environment for many of their students and families.

Now that parents, students and teachers have experienced distance learning — with both its pros and cons — they will be reluctant to go back to an uncompromising system of education.

While traditional schools have spent weeks scrambling to get some temporary distance learning in place for students, our students at Springs Charter Schools never missed a day of “class.”

As a charter school, we are a tuition-free public school of choice that specializes in “personalized learning,” or tailoring the curriculum and environment to the individual student.

For us and many other charter schools that provide hybrid classroom and home-based models, it was just a matter of expanding the existing program we already had in place.

And, because we are

familiar with distance learning, we know how to do it well.

Keep in mind that high quality distance learning, at least in the way that Springs defines it, is not merely a child on a computer with a headset.

It is a balanced multi-method approach, developed over many years, that includes live online discussions through a Zoom-style platform, pre-recorded lessons requiring student interaction, as well as paper and pencil, workbook and textbook assignments.

In addition, our computer programs use diagnostic tools to help us identify and target skills each student needs for personalized instruction.

That is why in March, as the state’s classrooms were closing, many parents contacted us seeking support to continue their children’s learning at home.

While the pandemic prevents us from accepting any new students until the fall, we were able to share our experience with concerned parents by launching our OPEN Classroom, a free online public classroom for students in grades K-12 that allows children to continue their education at home with daily lessons.

It runs through the end of the school year, and features weekly lesson plans, materials, answer keys and credentialed teachers who present livestreamed lessons four days a week.

So far, 4,942 nonSprings students and 183 non-Springs teachers from all over the world have been using our content.

I realize that full-time distance learning has not been a positive experience for everyone, but it can be a highly effective component of a well-rounded education.

I would encourage parents to explore the options available for their children, particularly those offered by charter schools that know how to do distance learning right.

Distance education provides children with academic skills, experiences for future success in the 21st century workforce and a chance to spend quality time at home.

Schools that adopt flexible models combining learning at home with classroom experiences will create better schools than our nation has ever had.

Kathleen Hermsmeyer is Superintendent of Springs Charter Schools serving many students who live in North County.

Bluff safety legislation gets early bipartisan support

By City News Service

REGION — A state lawmaker who represents northern San Diego County introduced on May 26 a bill designed to prevent coastal bluff collapses, a public hazard tragically exemplified by a cliff failure that killed three family members in Encinitas last summer.

The legislation presented by Sen. Patricia Bates, R-Laguna Niguel, to the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee in Sacramento would obligate public agencies and private owners of seafront property in San Diego and Orange Counties to mitigate coastal erosion.

Following the presentation, the chairman of the panel, Sen. Henry Stern, D-Calabasas, said he would work with Bates to try to pass bipartisan legislation on the matter before Aug. 31, when the Legislature is scheduled to adjourn its 2020 legislative session.

The added requirements that would be mandated by Senate Bill 1090, according to Bates’ office, would help prevent “tragedies on public beaches,” such as the Aug. 2 triple-fatality bluff collapse at Grandview Surf Beach in the Leucadia neighborhood.

Shortly before 3 p.m. that day, a roughly 25- by 30foot section of sea cliff near Neptune Avenue gave way, collapsing onto Julie Davis, 65, her 35-year-old daugh-

ter, Anne Clave, and Davis’ 62-year-old sister, Elizabeth Cox. The latter victim, a San Francisco resident, died at the scene, and the other two, both of whom lived in Encinitas, succumbed to their injuries at hospitals.

The women, who had gathered at the beach near

Batiquitos Lagoon to celebrate Cox’s victorious fight against breast cancer, were buried under tons of dirt and rock.

“There could have been more fatalities had friends and other family members present at the celebration not been a few feet away from the impact area at the

time of the collapse,” Bates wrote in an opinion piece published last week by the Coast News.

Three months after the women’s deaths, a major cliff failure in Del Mar “put the entire coastal rail line in jeopardy and will now cost $100 million to repair,” the senator noted.

“Concerns over more bluff collapses have become especially acute in San Diego and Orange Counties,'' Bates stated. “Millions of people visit our beaches each year but are forced to sit at the base of at-risk bluffs due to the lack of sand replenishment and minimal beach area during mid (lev-

Online business promotes human kindness globally

By Steve Puterski

ENCINITAS —A community of kindness is core to who they are as people and as a business.

It’s why Justin and Suzi Wilkenfeld started Kindhumans, a local business aiming to make a global impact on the way people interact and shop.

Justin Wilkenfeld was one of the first employees at GoPro, while Suzi Wilkenfeld worked at Feld Entertainment before the two met. Years later, the couple decided to launch Kindhumans based on the family and friends community built

by GoPro. The Wilkenfelds, though, are using their business as a conduit to link consumers with socially responsible brands via the Kindhumans e-commerce store, along with building a hub for like-minded people and nonprofits to highlight their kindness.

In essence, it’s a source of good news and those championing respect, compassion, empathy and equitable treatment of everyone.

“I was doing a lot of research of what products to bring into our home,” Suzi Wilkenfeld said. “It was really hard to research … and finding brands doing it with integrity. It’s making it easier for people to do good.”

Additionally, they are leveraging Justin Wilkenfeld’s experience with GoPro and building a network of athletes and influencers

who share the mission and goals of Kindhumans.

One of their first successes came last summer, just as the company launched. The Wilkenfelds linked up with Jaden Smith, the son of Hollywood royalty Jada Pinkett and Will Smith, to deliver clean water

boxes providing 10 gallons per minute of clean water to help address the water crisis in Flint, Michigan.

“There’s so much money out there that can be used for good,” Justin Wilkenfeld said. “ Another component of their business is giving

back to charities through sales on the Kindhumans website, but also connecting with nonprofits on social media highlighting their good deeds.

Justin Wilkenfeld said most nonprofits cannot afford much in terms of marketing personnel, but with his professional experience and networks in grassroots marketing, it’s a way to connect a broader audience to those organizations doing good.

In addition, he said the company also focuses on partnering with brands who are environmentally friendly or use fair trade practices to help consumers cut through the difficulties with their own research.

“There’s got to be a resource out there to tackle this and there wasn’t, really,” Justin Wilkenfeld said. “Having come from a background of building a community, I realize there is this existing community in the world of people doing things for the better good.

Our hope is to really create a structure that enables us to provide that marketing platform for these causes.”

The company is also putting its money toward good causes as 3% of each sale is donated to those causes the company supports. Still, they are attempting to brand Kindhumans the world over by creating a more positive storyline in mainstream media and social media culture, Justin Wilkenfeld said.

“At the heart of it, we want to build a community of kind humans,” Suzi Wilkenfeld added. “We know they’re out there, but how do we unite them? And then use that, as kindness spreads kindness.”

Though the California Coastal Act of 1976 requires construction that alters natural shoreline processes to be permitted by the California Coastal Commission or a local government with an approved local coastal program, the process “does not prioritize erosion mitigation,” according to Bates, who represents the 36th Senate District.

“Doing nothing to prevent additional bluff collapses is not acceptable,” she asserted.

SB 1090 would require the Coastal Commission to review and approve a public agency’s or homeowner's application for erosion-mitigation efforts in regard to planting, drainage and seawall or other reinforcing structures.

Approved applicants also would have to pay for the costs of sand replenishment and permit processing.

Following this afternoon’s committee meeting at the state Capitol, Bates praised her fellow lawmakers for their support of her efforts to make California’s iconic sea bluffs less prone to damaging and life-threatening collapses.

“Working with Senator Stern, I look forward to continuing the conversation on how we can best protect public safety, preserve beach accessand safeguard private and public infrastructure,” she said.

County libraries open for limited services

By Caitlin Steinberg

ENCINITAS — After nearly 10 weeks closed, the San Diego County Library will open select locations for pick-up service and begin scaled-down, modified programming for the summer months.

Locations in Encinitas, Imperial Beach, Alpine, Ramona, Vista and Borrego Springs will offer limited door-side services beginning May 26, Monday through Friday, from 10 am to 4 pm. The following week on June 1, locations in Poway, El Cajon, Julian, Solana Beach, San Marcos, and Bonita will open for similar services as well.

“We are excited to begin serving our communities and customers in-person again,” San Diego County Library Director Migell Acosta said.

All door-side pickup will be scheduled on an individual basis with respect to Coronavirus disinfection and safety procedures, requiring masks and adhering to social distancing during the pick-up process.

“Right now, we’re calling and setting up individual appointments with customers who have reserves and holds on books,” Kristin Ward, Principal Librarian for the San Diego County Library System, said.

“They can set up a time and pick up their materials at any of the open locations.”

After reaching out to those with book holds at the first 11 open locations, then Library staff will begin contacting customers with temporary holds at closed Library locations.

Currently, customers can not check out new books unless they held a reservation prior to the libraries closures in March, however, Ward sees those

procedures developing in the future.

For now, they are still not accepting returns or charging late fees, requesting customers hold onto all materials until further notice as local libraries wait on a medical study from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) out of Washington D.C..

The study will explore how Coronavirus survives on surfaces such as book pages, covers, and other materials as well as how to properly disinfect such surfaces so that library collections don’t become large scale sources of infection.

According to the IMLS, collecting institutions such as libraries and museums

see over 1.35 billion visitors each year, amounting to more than all major league sporting events and theme parks in the nation combined.

The study will give libraries and museums the confidence and knowledge to safely open their collections to customers.

Until then, San Diego County has adjusted its summer programming, offering virtual programming.

“You’ll be able to log your reading hour and activities online,” Ward said.

“Additionally, customers will be able to complete ‘missions’ that include activities highlighting how local non-profits are helping

our communities.”

By completing online “mission” assignments such as watching an animal camera at the Zoo or going on a virtual hike, customers will receive virtual badges and awards.

In addition, local libraries will be providing activity books for families and children with limited access to the internet. The activity books will be given out at any County Library’s summer lunch sites for children run by the San Diego Hunger Coalition.

Vista council approves economic recovery strategy

By Steve Puterski

VISTA — Slowing the financial bleeding for local businesses is a top priority for the city leadership.

During its May 26 meeting, the Vista City Council approved seven measures to help spur economic activity as a result of the shutdown orders for non-essential businesses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dubbed the Vista Economic Recovery Plan Enhancements, the city is moving forward with a seven-step plan to jump-start local businesses through several platforms. The council also approved an amended budget to include $107,371 to cover the program.

“This is about how residents can support businesses,” said Kevin Ham, Vista’s director of economic development. “We want to be prepared and put solutions and practices in place to help businesses.”

The city, and several marketing agencies, will promote its “Vista is Open” online through a dedicated website, social media, newsletters and a special business edition

of Our Vista Magazine, a city publication distributed to 34,000 people three times per year. One goal is to highlight every small business reopening in Vista, along with promotions, a loyalty program, events (within county guidelines),

nage, such as banners and window signs, in a manner consistent with reducing blight.

Also, the city will provide reopening assistance and information to local businesses through webinars and other mediums to

We want to be prepared and put solutions and practices in place to help businesses.”

allowing outdoor public and private space for retail, restaurants and breweries to serve customers with social distancing protocols in place.

Ham said the fees for the Central Vista Business Improvement District for Fiscal Year 2020-21 will be eliminated. The city will also form a task force regarding the economic fallout and assist with recovery efforts.

Additionally, the council approved allowing businesses to use additional sig-

ensure all guidelines are delivered and will be enforced.

“I’m concerned about our small businesses and those that have been here for decades,” Councilwoman Corinna Contreras said.

“It would be great for the city to highlight them.”

Councilman John Franklin added a tentative sunset date for the program to run through Dec. 31 or 90 days after the city’s emergency declaration expires, whichever comes first. The council will also allow City

Manager Patrick Johnson to move forward with several other aspects of the plan to expedite the process without council approval, although some items may come back to the governing body due to cost or other issues.

Mayor Judy Ritter stressed the city must act fast, noting “we’re behind the curve on this” and championed allowing businesses to use parking lots and certain right-of-way roads to allow them to meet capacity demands reduced by county and state health orders.

The city will not enforce parking violations for those businesses using parking lots or other roads approved by the council or staff.

Previous to the city’s economic discussion, Johnson reported the state would unveil its Stage 3 plans for reopening on May 27, including information on summer and athletic camps.

However, San Diego County approved allowing one-on-one athletic instruction to commence, he added.

CARLSBAD — The City of Carlsbad will launch a $5 million economic revitalization package this week that aims to bolster existing federal assistance programs.

Carlsbad’s economic revitalization program primarily provides small business loans but in total has six different forms of business support to strengthen the local economy as the city gradually reopens.

The program plans to efficiently fill gaps left by federal assistance. However, the city currently lacks full data on which local businesses have received federal assistance to date.

Local businesses that have obtained federal assistance, however, are still struggling to adapt to the new economic climate.

For Dr. Ryan Watkins, owner of Dreamtime Dentistry in Carlsbad, the federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) helped him keep his staff employed, even with a limited number of appointments.

Watkins says his patients are still hesitant to come in, leaving Dreamtime Dentistry to rely on savings and government assistance as its income declines.

“I have a small staff of five people, but that’s five different families, including mine,” Watkins said.

“We won’t be able to see as many patients as we could.

But we’ll see how it goes.

I’m hoping we can adapt with this assistance and get through.”

Dreamtime Dentistry would qualify for Carlsbad’s micro loan — a loan for businesses with a gross revenue of at most $2 million and 15 employees or less.

Watkins said that although he’s uncertain when appointments will pick up again, he may not apply for Carlsbad’s loans as it would take some funds away from other local businesses that have yet to receive federal assistance.

“I do think our local

businesses’ survival has been threatened and need as much support from not only our government but from the citizens in our community,” Watkins said.

The city’s plan ensures the total allocation of the $5 million would be flexible, meaning that while the expected budget for business loans is $4.4 million, changes can be approved by the council in the future.

The Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee

I’m hoping we can adapt with this assistance and get through.”

Dr. Ryan Watkins Dreamtime Dentistry Co-Chair Teresa Acosta, who helped consult the development of the program, says the city intends to build in accountability and evaluation measures for the program moving forward.

These measures could help track the allocation and effectiveness of the local loan program, but no details have been released about how these measures will be implemented yet.

“Whenever the government rolls out a program where they’re spending taxpayer dollars, we should be watching to make sure that everybody is doing what was planned and that we're doing it correctly,” Acosta said. “I think they have set it up so it's going to be effective and that we will be able to shift, if there are areas where it’s lacking.”

Carlsbad’s loan applications are to be launched through an online portal.

Businesses interested in applying can email business@carlsbadca.gov to receive more information and resources.

Oceanside approves terms for wireless tech on streetlights other adjacent structures.

The facilities also cannot extend existing structures on which they are mounted to a height of more than 50 feet or by more than 105, whichever is greater.

Staff hired Telecom Law Firm to assist in drafting the template MLA. Attorney Michael Johnston from the firm explained to Council additional requirements and limitations for cities that recent FCC orders dictate.

The city cannot prohibit wireless services or wireless facilities, discriminate between service providers that are functionally the same, or regulate based on environmental effects from radiofrequency emissions as long as the facilities comply with FCC regulations regarding emissions.

The FCC orders also require the city act on a wireless application within a reasonable time and must issue a written decision.

“It basically says the city cannot say no and deny access for an indefinite period of time for wireless providers,” Johnston said.

“You have to accept that application and you can’t use what you normally use to study the issue, which is a temporary moratorium.”

Council received several comments from the public, many of which ex-

pressed opposition to the template and to increased 5G services in the city.

Suzanne Hume, founder of local organization Clea n Ea r t h4K ids.org, wants to keep small cells out of residential areas, parks, schools and high-risk fire areas like the city of Encinitas.

In November 2019, Encinitas City Council amended its 5G wireless policy to exclude cell towers from going up in residential areas, parks and high-risk fire hazard areas. The towers also cannot be installed within 500 feet of daycare centers, schools or homes that are not in residential zones.

Johnston explained the difference between what Encinitas did to the template MLA. “Encinitas adopted a regulatory policy that regulated location and design of wireless facilities in the right-of-way,” Johnston said. “This is just a master license agreement that identifies terms and conditions for access to city poles.”

Johnston also noted that what Encinitas did is a risky move legally for cities.

Oceanside City Council approved the resolution 4-1 with Councilmember Esther Sanchez opposed.

Crime spree suspect pleads not guilty to attempted murder

DIZZY

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — Council approved the template of a license agreement that defines the terms and conditions allowing wireless phone companies to install small cells on city-owned streetlight poles.

At its May 20 meeting, the council adopted a resolution that approves a template Master License Agreement (MLA) for small cell wireless facilities on city-owned streetlight poles within the public right-ofway.

Small cells are a type of wireless facility that uses 4G and 5G technology and increase speed for carrier networks. They are often put on streetlight poles due to their numbers around the city (the city owns 8,000 poles) and because of their data and power connections.

According to city staff, which recommended the resolution’s adoption, the template MLA allows the city to process applications from start to finish within the federally mandated timeframes.

Recent changes in federal regulations regarding wireless deployments favor such a master agreement, staff explained in its report on the resolution.

ESCONDIDO — A man who allegedly stabbed a transient at the culmination of an Escondido crime spree pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other charges May 26, with police saying new jail booking criteria established during the COVID-19 pandemic kept the suspect out of custody despite numerous arrests.

Timothy Alvarado, 22, of La Mesa, is accused of stabbing the victim in the neck on May 16, following several other arrests in the weeks leading up to the alleged attack.

Alvarado was arrested and released four times between May 2 and May 14 for allegedly stealing cars, including the same vehicle twice in four days from the same apartment complex, according to Escondido police.

Alvarado faces an attempted murder charge in the May 16 stabbing, and about a dozen additional felony counts related to the car thefts.

He faces 11 years to life in prison if convicted of attempted murder and a maximum of eight years and eight months behind bars for the vehicle thefts, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

Escondido police say new booking regulations instituted by the state to reduce jail populations prohibited them from booking Alvarado until he allegedly commited the stabbing, as his previous alleged crimes fell under the state court order lowering bail to $0 for misdemeanors and nonvio-

to all wireless service providers. It also has a goal of bringing all existing small cell facilities under the new program.

Oceanside currently has 60 small cell facilities and 30 wireless communication facilities called “macro-sites” on poles all within the public right-of-way.

The template MLA does not authorize instal-

lent felonies.

Alvarado’s alleged May crime spree began about three weeks after he was released from jail after serving a burglary sentence.

— On May 2, Alvarado was allegedly spotted driving a minivan stolen from an Escondido used car lot, then fled from officers in a pursuit.

He was arrested on suspicion of auto theft, p os s es s ion ALVARADO of a stolen vehicle, felony evading, driving on the wrong side of the road during a pursuit, and resisting arrest.

Police say he was cited and released.

— On May 4, Alvarado was arrested on suspicion of auto theft and possession of a stolen vehicle for alleged-

lation or construction of any small cells. Those facilities will still need to be approved by the city’s engineering division for compliance to conditions.

The template requires small cells to have radiofrequency emissions compliance reports that demonstrate each facility complies with the Federal Communications Commis-

ly stealing a Jaguar sedan from a local Motel 6. He was cited and released.

— On May 10, Alvarado was arrested on suspicion of auto theft, possession of a stolen vehicle and possession of a controlled substance for allegedly stealing a Mitsubishi Lancer and possessing methamphetamine.

Police say he was cited and released.

— On May 14, Alvarado was arrested on suspicion of auto theft and possession of a stolen vehicle for allegedly stealing the same Mitsubishi Lancer, then cited and released.

Both times the car was taken from the same Lincoln Avenue apartment complex, according to police.

Alvarado was also contacted by officers two other times during that span, for an alleged municipal code violation on May 12 and resisting arrestand possession of drug paraphernalia on

sion (FCC) regulations. It also sets a “safe harbor” fee of $270 per small cell attachment to each cityowned infrastructure on top of permitting fees.

The FCC mandates that small wireless facilities can be mounted on structures 50 feet or less in height including their antennas or on structures that are no more than 10% taller than

May 15.

He was cited, but was not arrested either time, as neither offense would have had him booked even before the emergency bail schedules, police said.

Police said the May 16 stabbing happened just before 3 p.m.

A nearby Escondido police supervisor heard someone yelling “stop!’’ near the Escondido Sprinter Station at 796 W. Valley Parkway and saw a man emerge from bushes near the station and run west from the scene toward Tulip street.

The victim then came out of the bushes holding his neck, and “was bleeding profusely,’’ police said.

Alvarado was detained

by other officers on the bike path just west of Tulip Street.

The victim was taken to Palomar Medical Center, where he underwent emergency surgery.

Alvarado is being held without bail and is due back in court June 26 for a readiness conference.

Silvergate Safety Measures Successfully Protecting Residents SAN MARCOS - May 29, 2020 At Silvergate Retirement Residences, the response to the national onset of the COVID-19 crisis was swift and carefully executed. Management worked alongside all of its communities to carefully develop a comprehensive set of protocols following CDC and county health guidelines to keep residents protected and safe from the spread of the coronavirus. Their efforts paid off. To date, none of the Silvergate communities have reported a case of COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic.

“We worked quickly to find the best ways to provide our residents with a protective bubble from the virus,” said Joan Rink-Carroll, Executive Director for Silvergate San Marcos. “We knew we had to manage the risk of exposure to our residents and staff with enhanced safety procedures, increased social distancing, heightened disinfecting, and of course testing once available.”

Enhanced Safety Precautions at Silvergate The comprehensive set of protocols and precautions enacted by Silvergate has given residents and their families the peace of mind they need to weather the worries of the coronavirus pandemic. Those precautions include: • Daily temperature readings for nearly 500 residents and staff members.

• Restricted, essential-only visitor access.

• Screening of all residents, staff and visitors for travel history and recent illness.

• Increased social distancing of at least six feet.

• Group activities limited to less than 10 people, while maintaining social distancing.

• Staggered dining room mealtimes and/or meals offered in resident rooms.

• Increased sanitation to all high-touch surfaces throughout the community.

• Augmented staff education concerning health protocols and procedures.

• Personal protective equipment required for all caregivers including, face masks, hand washing, etc.

• Negative COVID-19 testing results required prior to new resident move-in.

“I’ve been incredibly impressed by the preventative steps Silvergate has taken to keep all of us safe from this virus,” said Merrio Izor, who has been living at the senior living community in San Marcos since the beginning of the year. “Not only are the staff checking in on us all the time, they’ve modified our routines so that we’re still able to enjoy everyday life without feeling pinned in. Of course, we’re practicing socially distancing together, but I can still see my friends, enjoy activities and connect with my family without worrying about the virus. I trust the team here.”

Silvergate Testing Surpasses Requirements Silvergate continues to enact additional safety measures as they become available, even beyond those required by the CDC. Beginning in June, all Silvergate communities will be

adding daily pulse oximeter readings to their arsenal of safety screening measures. These simple tests measure blood oxygen levels and can help identify asymptomatic carriers of the virus who are not experiencing a fever, which is an important aspect of early detection of a COVID-19 infection.

Silvergate Keeps Virus Outside Its Doors With no reported coronavirus cases to date, Silvergate’s success at keeping its residents safe has given other local seniors renewed confidence about transitioning to retirement living. Many seniors had delayed their search for assisted living solutions due to the outbreak of the virus and state-imposed stay-at-home orders. As those restrictions begin to lift, many seniors are becoming more comfortable touring senior living properties, like Silvergate where they have a proven safety record in the midst of the pandemic.

To help accommodate different levels of comfort with venturing out into the public, Silvergate now offers multiple ways in which to connect with their communities. New virtual tours and videos are available online. Live “FaceTime” tours also are being offered. For those who are comfortable, privately scheduled, in-person tours allow family members and prospective residents to experience the community directly. Silvergate San Marcos offers independent living, assisted living and memory care accommodations. To learn more, call David Nelson, Marketing Director for the community at (760) 744-4484 or visit www.SilvergateRR.com

Safely Together In today’s uncertainty, you don’t have to be alone.

Silvergate offers seniors peace of mind, knowing someone will always be there to take care of you.

Property crime down, hate crime up in San Diego REGION — Property crime in the San Diego region reached a new 40-year low in 2019, according to a report recently released by the SANDAG Criminal Justice Clearinghouse, “Forty Years of Crime in the San Diego Region: 1980 Through 2019.”

The report found that while the region’s population has increased 80% the past 40 years, the number of crimes reported has decreased considerably.

The study also found that between 2018 and 2019, hate crime events were up 24%, with the three most common motives being anti-black, anti-Jewish, and anti-homosexual male.

In 2019, the property crime rate was 3% lower than in 2018 and 74% lower when compared to rates in 1980, the same year SANDAG began reporting regional crime statistics.

The SANDAG report also found that burglaries were at an all-time 40-year low in 2019. More than 2 in 5 burglaries reported did not involve forced entry, suggesting that the number of burglaries could be lowered further with increased crime prevention.

According to the report, an average of $539,000 was stolen per day in the San Diego region in 2019, with 34% eventually recovered.

Other notable findings in the SANDAG report include: — In 1980, 1 in 16 residents was a victim of property crime. In 2019, that number decreased to 1 in 61.

— The only reported crimes in the San Diego region to increase between 1980 and 2019 were rape and aggravated assault, though the implementation of mandated domestic violence reporting requirements and

changes to the definition of rape are likely contributing factors to increases in reports.

Between 1980 and 2019, several crimes reported drops. Motor vehicle theft was down 25%; robbery was down 41%; larceny was down 42%; homicide was down 52%; and burglary was down 80%.

This report measures crime trend data through the end of 2019. Since then, all have been affected by the public health crisis and stay-at-home orders. In an attempt to evaluate how COVID-19 and the stay-athome orders have affected crime in the San Diego region, SANDAG analyzed crime case data reported across the San Diego region for March and April 2019 and 2020.

This analysis was highlighted in a recent SANDAG InfoBits report at sandag.

org/uploads/publicationid/ publicationid_4673_27477. pdf, which found property crime, as measured by larcenies, decreased more from March and April 2019 to 2020, compared with violent crime, as measured by aggravated and simple assaults.

“The San Diego region is still one of the safest in the nation, starting 2020 with the property crime rate at a 40-year low and the violent crime rate at its fourth lowest since 1980,” said Cynthia Burke, SANDAG Research and Program Management director.

“As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to change daily life for all of us, our team will keep working with law enforcement agencies across the region to document possible short- and long-term impacts of this public health crisis on public safety.”

dows,” Davis said. “We’re really making a plea to return to Main Street America. Now, it’s time to support the small businesses that have been hurt so much by this.”

Outside the Village, Schanzenbach said the re-openings have been a source of mental relief for many business owners.

Still, many still face tough obstacles during an unemployment rate more than 20% in the region and inspiring consumer confidence.

The past two months, though, have forced businesses to re-assess their long-term strategic planning, especially from a holistic viewpoint, Schanzenbach said. Those pivots points, he said, especially came to light after many businesses did not receive federal assistance.

In one unofficial poll conducted by the chamber, Schanzenbach said just 25% of respondents were approved for the first round of federal loans.

The chamber and city conducted a second poll, after the second round of funding was approved, and 25% of businesses said they were approved.

Regardless, he said businesses now must inspire consumer confidence, noting those would are steadfast with the new guidelines, such as facemasks, limited capacity, physical distancing and others, will attract more customers.

For example, restaurants, which have been one of the hardest hit industries, have seen a varied approach, Schanzenbach said.

Some opened on May 21, others opted to wait at least one week and get their protocols in place.

“They are anxious to have a chance to prove they can do it safely,” Schanzenbach said. “It’s time for business to be deep in their strategy and how they can pivot and adjust. You have to create a comfort level and consumer confidence that your space is a safe place.”

“Normally, groups like the Boy Scouts are allowed to place flags on the gravestones in military cemeteries but this year they’re not,” Atkinson said. “We can still honor their service and sacrifice but things are just different this year.”

Oceanside Mayor Peter Weiss addressed families and volunteers, thanking them for their service and sacrifice before singing and playing his guitar.

Retired Army Sgt. Kevin Kothlow, who is also a Team Rubicon administrator for Southern California, organized and led volunteers delivering food.

“We’re honored to be asked to help out,” Kothlow said. “We are typically a OCEANSIDE MAYOR Peter Weiss performs a song during a disaster response organization but with {coronavirus] Memorial Day event in Oceanside.

“This operation is amazing not only because we are helping families get the food they need but we’re also filling that sense of tradition in being able to honor those that have fallen.”

This Memorial Day will be remembered for not only changes in schedule and tradition, but also a dangerous increase in health risks for veterans.

According to the CDC, during the height of coronavirus infections in the U.S., individuals over the age of 65 made up over 81% of provisional death counts.

We hope so.

With the nation slowly awakening from its COVID-19 slumber, the cry to grab lumber and produce that sweet sound of ball meeting bat has grown.

Baseball is in a prime position to solidify its claim of being the national pastime. The plan calls for “spring” training to begin in mid-June with games proceeding the first week of July.

The sight of baseball being presented on July 4 would produce sky-high ratings and give a boost to a battered nation.

We know — the NFL draws bigger TV numbers and is considered more popular. The NBA? The younger fans in particular flock to this sport and even us guys with gray hair dig the dribble and dunk.

back to trying to kick the ball into the back of the net.

But baseball stands alone in its connection with Americans, which made the first Memorial Day minus the sport since 1880 stunning.

For various reasons, following baseball is a way of life in our great land as it presents a daily diversion from the stuff that really counts.

Too bad baseball own-

ers and baseball players are the Hatfield and McCoys of professional sports. While their brethren seem eager to find a common cause to bring back live sports to aid the nation’s healing process, baseball is batting down proposals like the Padres’ Manny Machado turning on an inside fastball.

It’s time for one of the parties, or better put, both, to turn the other cheek.

Whatever is keeping base-

ball from unpacking its equipment needs to be brushed away like dirt from pants following a slide.

Sounds easy and simple, although those in the know realize it never is with these two combatants.

So before heaving confetti to celebrate baseball’s reemergence, be prepared that baseball might fall victim to greed, and if so, games at Petco Park might have to wait a year.

The skinny is that the players thought they had an agreement with the owners, based on negotiations in March. The labor would be paid a pro-rated salary depending on the numbers of games played in an abbreviated season.

But there was a caveat in that proposal that said compensation would be revisited if the games returned minus fans. Owners contend that they would lose more money having the games in empty stadiums than if they didn’t play them at all.

That’s why the bosses asked the workers to instead split the revenues from those games, which won’t having spectators, at least initially, because of the possibility of spreading COVID-19.

That risk is real and we’re not here to fault those in uniform about their reticence. Especially those with underlying health conditions like Dodgers Manager and Cardiff resident Dave Roberts, 47, a Hodgkin’s lymphoma cancer survivor.

While people focus on players participating in ghost town stadiums, there still needs to be about 100 people present for a game.

That also includes the coaching and medical staffs and any accompanying media to broadcast the contest.

With about 80% of the

more than 100,000 Americans killed by COVID-19 being at least 65 years old, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that gives pause to many associated with the game.

Angels skipper Joe Maddon, 66, is among six managers over 60. The Astros’ Dusty Baker, the league’s oldest manager, will be 71 next month.

The dangers don’t end there, although the other caveat isn’t as deadly.

The stunningly selfish optics baseball would display if billionaire owners are seen scuffling with millionaire players — as nearly 40 million Americans are without jobs and the nation’s death toll continues to rise — would be disastrous for the game.

If players are reluctant to play, we get it and they deserve the choice to not expose themselves and their families.

But it the industry can agree on the 67-page, healthand-safety booklet that supplies a plan to get the games started again, and they are stalled because of money issues, baseball will get the black eye that it richly deserves.

Stay informed.

Theme parks discuss reopening plans with county officials

By City News Service

REGION — The COVID-19 case tally in San Diego County is nearing the 7,000 mark and a half-dozen new deaths were reported following three-straight days without a reported death from the illness.

County health officials reported 101 new COVID-19 cases and six more deaths on Wednesday, raising the cumulative totals to 6,983 cases and 255 deaths.

The number of cumulative reported tests rose by 3,021 Wednesday to more than 143,000. The 101 latest cases represent 3% of the total tests, dropping the county's rolling 14-day average to 3.1%.

Representatives from SeaWorld San Diego, Legoland California, the U.S.S. Midway Museum and other large tourist attractions had a phone meeting with San Diego County officials on Wednesday to seek permission to reopen by July 1.

The theme parks, which also include the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park and the SeaWorld-owned

Aquatica water park, are taking steps to open for Stage 3 of Gov. Gavin Newsom's four-stage plan, and while the meeting with county officials was private, the parks announced they have moved onto an official reopening request with the state.

“LEGOLAND California Resort, The USS Midway Museum and SeaWorld San Diego reviewed its collective re-opening safety plan with county of San Diego officials,” the parks said in a joint statement Wednesday. “While the attractions will all be

ready to reopen on July 1 if authorized, the plan now moves on to state officials for additional review and guidance. As the San Diego attraction coalition, we were greatly appreciative to county staff for the opportunity to present our reopening plan to them.”

That plan calls for temperature and wellness checks for employees, masks for everyone entering the parks, reduced capacity inside the parks, plastic shields at food stations, a six-foot separation for entry and ride lines and regularly disinfecting common touchpoints.

David Koontz, spokesman for the Midway Museum, said the call “went very well,” but did not offer any additional information.

All of the theme parks shut down mid-March in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Barona Resort and Casino reopened Wednesday, as well as houses of worship, hair salons and barber shops.

Following a largely uneventful Memorial Day weekend, county Supervi-

You’ve planned for almost everything…

You’ve planned for your vacation, your children’s education and for your retirement. But, if you’re like most people, you haven’t wanted to think about planning your funeral.

Did you know that a family has to make more than 50 decisions following a death? Funeral arrangements and financial considerations are only part of the process. By pre-arranging your funeral, you can relieve some of the stress on your family at this difficult time.

Making prearrangements allows your family to focus on the memories of your life rather than the details of your death.

Then you will have planned for everything.

Call us today for assistance in pre-planning for burial or cremation. We’re just a phone call away and we’re here to help.

sors Greg Cox and Nathan Fletcher said houses of worship could open Wednesday and hair salons and barber shops could open as soon as they complete the county’s reopening plan, post it publicly and give copies to employees.

Under the guidelines, places of worship must limit attendance to 25% of building capacity or 100 attendees, whichever total is smaller.

This limitation will be in effect for the first 21 days of each county public health department’s approval of religious services within their jurisdictions, after which the California Department of Public Health will review the limits.

They must also arrange for social distancing of at least six feet between people, establish and implement a COVID-19 prevention plan for every location, train staff and regularly evaluate workplaces for compliance. Other local restrictions include no singing, no touching and no passing of items.

Churches and other houses of worship were ordered closed to the public on March 19. Since then, many have adjusted by holding virtual services, while a few recently resumed in-person services in violation of the order.

Hair salons and barber shops are permitted to open as soon as ready, but only for services which can be completed while a customer keeps their mask on the entire time, meaning eyebrow threading, eyelash work and face shaves remain prohibited.

All employees must have their temperatures CROP checked at the beginning .93 of their shifts, the and end same .93 as other essential and nonessential businesses 4.17 open in the county.

4.28 All businesses must provide face masks for all employees and customers — who are welcome to bring masks from home.

Nail salons are absent from the state and county's guideline, but Newsom suggested Tuesday that they might be in the next wave of modified reopenings.

Additionally, Fletcher said one-on-one sports training are now permitted, so long as the instructor and student could maintain social distancing.

This will allow for golf and tennis, as well as indi-

vidual soccer, baseball, volleyball and other coaching sessions.

Simon Properties reopens San Diego County malls REGION — As California’s stay-at-home restrictions begin to lift, mall giant Simon Properties today reopened nine of its Southern California retail centers, including three in San Diego County.

Those malls were closed in March, when one of the nation’s largest owners and operators of shopping centers shut down 10 Southern California locations as part of a statewide attempt to stem the spread of COVID-19. Nine centers have now reopened, with the exception of the three-level Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance.

Southern California reopenings include San Diego County’s Carlsbad Premium Outlets, Fashion Valley and Las Americas Premium Outlets; Orange County’s Brea Mall, The Outlets at Orange and The Shops at Mission Viejo; Desert Hills Premium Outlets and Ontario Mills in the Inland Empire; and Ventura County’s Camarillo Premium Outlets.

“Welcome back,” read social media posts Tuesday from Fashion Valley.

The Indianapolis-based company has reported that many of its more than 200 U.S. retail properties have already reopened in areas where retail restrictions were lifted.

Reopened centers have increased emphasis on cleanliness and social distancing, according to “COVID-19 Exposure Mitigation Protocols” outlined on the company’s website.

Simon Property’s guidelines include pre-work screenings for employees, reconfiguring high-traffic areas, breaks for employees to wash their hands, self-service payment transactions, disinfection of touchpoints, and sanitizing stations, according to the 10-page document.

Simon Properties also has launched a national initiative to host food banks, clothing donation drives and host COVID-19 mobile testing units and blood drives at properties coastto-coast.

North County Covid 19 Testing Sites The state’s three sites will offer about 800 testing appointments, Monday through Friday at the following locations:

Local novelist is international award finalist

MAY 29

ENCINITAS — “Black Market News,” the debut novel by Encinitas-based journalist, filmmaker and educator Roman S. Koenig, is an official 2020 Eric Hoffer Book Award finalist.

The international Eric Hoffer Book Award for the Small, Independent & Academic Press, sponsored by the US Review of Books, recognizes the work of up-and-coming authors in 25 categories. The finalists and winners were announced May 18.

Set in a future United States dominated by a single massive conglomerate, “Black Market News” follows underground journalist Quinn Kellerman from his severe injury to his journey to expose those responsible for it, pushing past his own notions of “fringe-fact” to uncover the truth.

Quinn and friends — and perhaps an adversary or two — draw the curtain on the twisted world of eState’s chief executive and the man’s use of violent, ghoulish, technological means to manipulate the public.

“It’s built on my observations and concerns about the direction society and media are headed,” Koenig said.

A feature-length screenplay of the same name earned Koenig a Best Screenplay nomination at the San Diego Film Awards in 2014.

The novel is available on Amazon in paperback and e-book formats. The paperback is also sold online by Barnes & Noble.

Brooks Theater shifts to virtual arts

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — As social distancing rules extend into the summer, theaters, museums and other art houses are finding ways to continue bringing the arts and culture of downtown to the community.

For the last two months, the historic Sunshine Brooks Theater stage has been empty of props, costumes, music and performers. With no shows and a state order to stay at home, the seats of the theater have remained empty as well.

The decision to close the theater came the week after the Oceanside Theatre Company’s successful opening weekend of “Sweet Charity.”

The musical was one of the historic theater’s biggest productions.

Immediately, the theater fell into a financial crisis that they quickly recovered from with the help of generous patrons.

“We contacted ticket holders by phone if they would like a refund or if they would like to donate their tickets back to the theater to help with the immediate budget crisis, which was about $16,000 to cover the cost of ‘Sweet Charity’,” said Leann Garms, Oceanside Theatre Company board member.

“We had about 80% to 90% of our patrons donate their tickets back to the theater.”

The theater’s next steps were to figure out how they could continue bringing the performing and visual arts to the community with a closed venue.

Like many schools, jobs and churches that have transitioned online, the theater began streaming live, virtual performances.

The theater’s most recent virtual production was a Mother’s Day concert from pianist Robert Parker. There is also a vir-

tual tour and sale of the theater’s “Pop!” exhibit, which includes 1960s-style artwork coinciding with the theater’s production of “Sweet Charity.”

To continue operating, the Oceanside Theatre Company (OTC) began fundraising campaigns.

Garms said the company is facing an estimated direct loss of $40,000 because it cannot produce shows.

The theater recently had to cancel its summer youth program, which Garms noted is usually a moneymaker for the theater.

Lori Butler, who became OTC’s new executive director just weeks before it closed, is particularly saddened by the youth program’s cancellation as well as the discontinuation of its after-school partner-

theater was already planning to make renovations that include adding bathrooms and making the lobby bigger.

Those renovations will also help to maintain social distancing when the theater does reopen to the

public.

The theater currently has a goal to raise an initial $42,000 as part of its “Arts Recovery Team” campaign to help keep its programming running and to get a start on renovations.

Those who donate become a member of the “team” and will be the first to receive news on what activities OTC has planned.

Butler noted the theater is going to need more money still to complete the renovations. OTC wasn’t eligible for federal aid related to the coronavirus, but the theater did receive a $5,000 grant from Union Bank and has recently applied for a micro-grant through MainStreet Oceanside.

never thought I’d say this, but I miss shopping. It was a challenge before, but after this unintended hammer to businesses, large and small, the chore now seems a luxury.

I am not one of those who ever chose shopping as my No. 1 diversion. I particularly dislike window shopping when I’m broke.

I think it’s the same as the pointlessness of looking at pictures of sexy men. I don’t care how pretty it is if I can’t take it home.

My real problem is that I tend to shop when I need something specific and, as chain stores continue to close, this will require even more footwork.

Before I could even get back out there and be frustrated, JCPenney announced its departure.

This store was my friend. From college days to kids’ clothes, it was my go-to. I truly do want to support the local small businesses, and will, but when I’m looking for a black cardigan sweater, I prefer to cut to the chase.

And I will never be happy buying clothes online.

Is it ever what you expected it to be? I would rather spend hours trying on everything in the store than have to fuss with return mail and printing out return labels.

My girlfriends and I all lamented the gradual carnivorous merging or closing of one department store after another. We aren’t elitist. We even miss Woolworth’s.

Seeing the world from a different view hit the road e’louise ondash

T

he piece of thick cardboard, once a box, had been flattened and now served a second purpose — a makeshift cutting board.

Our Arctic-hunter host was preparing to perform a familiar ritual — at least for him. Lying on the cardboard was a dead seal, and I knew what was coming next. The hunter would carve up the carcass and offer each observer a portion of the raw meat.

It was difficult to watch the hunter slice through the seal’s fur, then scrape through the layers of flesh even though he did so with a prayer, offering thanks for the kill.

I had to keep telling my white-lady brain that living off the ocean’s bounty is life and religion for the Inuit who inhabit Nunavut, Canada’s far northern province.

I really, really wanted to take part in this ritual of hospitality — to eat the raw seal meat.

After all, the village hunting party had killed the seal just for us — but I didn’t want gastrointestinal issues to interfere with the remainder of our trip through the Arctic.

But I was grateful for the opportunity to see the world through the eyes of the Inuit and contemplate the miracle of their existence in this mostly inhospitable environment.

Seeing other ways of life and cultures is why we travel, but do we ever stop to consider how visitors to our country view our culture?

Here are some opinions about our way of life

that come from friends, visitors and online comments.

Some might be difficult to read, but here they are: • From a Japanese visitor: Americans are friendly – maybe too friendly. Complete strangers greet you and the concept of small talk is intimidating. There is too much informality with authority figures and elders.

• From a Romanian: Americans have too much choice. The vast quantities of products for sale is overwhelming.

• From a Norwegian: People have too much stuff and people eat too much stuff. I’m shocked at the obesity.

• From a Spaniard: Too many fast food restaurants and everything has sugar in it.

• From several foreign visitors: We can’t believe stores are open Sundays and some 24 hours.

• From a Parisian: I don’t like self-serve everything — gas, checkout, frozen yogurt; carrying one’s luggage into hotels. And why no bidets?

• From a South American: I was pleasantly shocked at how many free services are provided in schools.

• From a Czech: The food portions are so huge, but I like free refills, free condiments, free bread and

free chips and salsa.

• From an Italian: It’s strange that motorcycles are used mostly for recreation, not transportation.

• From many foreign visitors: The United States has so much open country, vast space and diversity of landscape.

• From a Mexican: When people say, “How are you?” they don’t really want to know how your life is going. It’s really just a way of saying hello.

• From several Europeans: Free public toilets are a good thing but they are often not as clean as our public toilets. We like all the public water fountains, too.

• From an Austrian: Outside of a few big cities in the United States, there is a lack of efficient public transportation. You often need a car to go anywhere, and the cars are big.

• From an Indian: It’s amazing the way traffic behaves without any intervention from traffic policemen.

It’s orderly; everyone following the rules.

• From a Brit: Your hotels are cheaper and they offer so many free things: breakfasts, Wi-Fi, parking.

• From an Italian: Who eats dinner at 6?

• From a New Zealander: Guns. Not good.

Luna Grill donates meals to North County health care workers

By Hoa Quach

REGION — North County health care workers received complimentary meals from a beloved San Diego restaurant chain.

Luna Grill, a mediterranean restaurant chain, recently announced the launch of its program, “Feeding the Frontline.”

The program is dedicated wto feeding at least 20,000 local health care workers, including those at UCSD Encinitas Cancer Center, Palomar Medical Center and Scripps Hospital Encinitas.

“Doing good is part of our brand DNA,” said Rich Pinnella, Luna Grill’s chief brand officer. “We did not furlough anyone and we have taken great strides to make this a reality for our company.

“We are using a twopronged approach to the pandemic: One: innovation and two, doing good.

I have seen and experi-

enced the personal risks frontline workers take first hand when my sister was diagnosed with and passed away from the H1N1 influenza virus a few years ago.”

The company has also committed to feeding children in need.

Earlier in March Luna Grill introduced “The Good Card,” where for ev-

ery $5 gift card increment purchased, Luna Grill is donating a fresh, healthy meal to a San Diego kid in need through The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food

Bank, sharing the sentiment of “you keep the card, we feed the kids.”

Meals are being packaged and donated to multiple locations each week, and with Good Card sales to date, the company is pledging over 30,000 meals to the program.

“Since the shutdown of our public schools many kids lost their daily source of a healthy meal,” Pinnella said. “Our internal goal when we launched this was to feed 10,000 kids… today we are over 33,000 meals pledged, and every week we are sending more and more meals out to kids in need.”

The company encouraged the public to join its program by purchasing a meal for someone in need.

For more information, go to lunagrill.com/thegoodcard.

“Doing Good feels good, and when it makes people feel good, they do more,” Pinnella said.

Canyon Crest student named national scholar CARMEL VALLEY — A student at Canyon Crest Academy in Carmel Valley is among 161 students from throughout the country to be recognized as U.S. Presidential Scholars for their achievements, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced today.

Christina Wooden, a San Diego resident, is one of seven Southern California high school seniors in the 56th class of Presidential Scholars.

The others are graduates of schools in Los Angeles County. Two other students in Northern California also were chosen.

The White House Commission on Presidential Scholars selects scholars annually based on their academic success, artistic and technical excellence, essays, school WOODEN eva luat ions and transcripts, along with evidence of community service, leadership and demonstrated commitment to high ideals.

“These exemplary young people have excelled inside the classroom and out,” DeVos said. “And, while they are facing unprecedented challenges as they graduate from high school into a world that looks much different than it did just a few months ago, their determination, resilience, and commitment to excellence will serve them well as they pursue their next steps.”

The program has honored more than 7,600 of the nation's top-performing students since its creation in 1964 and was expanded in 1979 to recognize youths who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, literary and performing arts and again in 2015 to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical education fields.

The Presidential Scholars are set to be recognized this summer as public health circumstances permit.

‘Stoked’: Memories Days that remind us of the power of prayer of a long-ago summer waterspot chris ahrens

I

can still picture that wall clock hanging like a noose above Sister Mary Kathleen’s head. We had already been counting down two weeks, since late May, and now the second hand turned toward freedom.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Summer was upon us!

The summer of eighth grade was unlike any I had ever had before. Some friends had begun surfing by then, and everything about them had changed.

Each day they taught me new words like “stoked,” which was something like excited only more so, or “hanging five,” which was putting five toes over the end of a surfboard.

Among my friends, only Chicky was known to hang five and, we heard, sometimes 10.

I washed the grease out of my hair and wondered if I would ever be able to hang five as I pretended to walk the nose of a board on our front room carpet, or on the roller skates nailed to the twoby-four we called skateboards.

We lived inland and when our parents couldn’t drive us to the beach we would hitchhike, getting rides with kind-hearted individuals or sickos who made propositions to us we did not yet understand.

By July our skin had become dark, our cheeks were peeled raw and the

VOLUNTEER

sun streaked our hair. The predominant smells were those of suntan oil and the paraffin wax used on surfboards.

We struggled to learn the joy of surfing, not yet hanging five, but getting to our feet each time and doing a few awkward turns on occasion.

Once in a while a surf movie came to the Santa Monica or Pasadena Civic Auditoriums. There, we stood in line, grubby in Army jackets, worn Levi’s and Converse, a uniform adapted by many surfers along with surf T-shirts sporting labels like Bing, Jacobs, Gordon & Smith or Hansen.

The movie showed everything we dreamed of, from hot, glassy knee-high surf to crushing Waimea Bay in Hawaii. There was no way to control our stoke or the need to hitch to Huntington Pier the next morning, where I would borrow a surfboard and once again fail at hanging five.

Nobody had any money, but I did have a little brother whom we sent out as a sacrifice and ordered to tell tourists that, “My father’s car ran out of gas and we need a nickel or a dime to get home.”

The least he ever got was a quarter from each person he hit up. That always gave us enough for pancakes across the street at the Buzz Inn. One time he got five bucks, most of which he kept and spent on various treats for himself.

Our lives were filled daily with magic and joy and unseen perils. By that September we were all real surfers — tougher and more independent.

The best among us had learned to hang five.

Sadly September also meant school, and we drifted off to class with visions of summer still in our heads as we drew waves on our school folders.

For nine months the weekends and holidays would have to do as the clock crept toward the hour of our release and the school bell signaled that summer had once again arrived and set us free.

JOIN THE NORTH COASTAL SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT SENIOR VOLUNTEER PATROL

The Senior Volunteer Patrol of the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station performs home vacation security checks, assists with traffic control, enforces disabled parking regulations, patrols neighborhoods, schools, parks and shopping centers and visits homebound seniors who live alone for the communities of Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar.& portions of the county’s unincorporated areas. Volunteers must be at least age 50, be in good health, pass a background check, have auto insurance & a valid California driver’s license.

Training includes a two week academy plus training patrols. The minimum commitment is 24 hours per month, & attendance at a monthly meeting. Interested parties should call (760) 966-3579 to arrange an information meeting.

and realizing that you are one with that power, that Divinity, that spark we all have deep down. That’s the good stuff—the stuff of miracles.

That spark, or God essence, can only express here on earth through you.

As you. It’s a job when that is what you dedicated your life to a life of prayer and reverence by walking with Spirit.

That’s all a mystic is.

Someone who seeks by contemplation and self-surrender on the daily to obtain unity with the absolute. It’s not for the faint of heart.

It’s always there. One just needs to be conscious of it.

It can be said that God IS consciousness.

“A Course in Miracles” and Marianne Williamson’s “A Return to Love,” talk about a simple prayer to start each day.

“What will you have me do? Where will you have me go? What will you have me say — and to whom?

Thy will not mine be done.”

Anne Lamont wrote a book on prayer called, “Help.

Thanks. Wow.” It can be that simple.

What the whole world went through and is still going through has given many of us pause.

Abraham Lincoln said, “I have been driven many

times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go.” There were a lot of days like that these past couple of months.

I venture to say: God was busy receiving prayers since March.

Google searches for “prayer” skyrocketed worldwide with each case of COVID-19. In crisis, we pray. That could be the most positive thing from this whole experience. Nothing like a global pandemic to get you on your knees.

But my question is, why wait for a crisis to accept your mortality and start to acknowledge a higher power? Because once the acknowledgment is accomplished, in comes gratitude.

It’s hard not to be in a constant state of appreciation when you are walking in your own divinity. We all have it. My job as a prayer practitioner is to get you back to that spiritual truth about yourself. Because let’s face it, life gets lifey.

We get caught up in our worlds and the people in it, and we get stuck, or get into a story, or get into resentment, and all those things can block out the sunlight of God’s Spirit in our life.

They interrupt our di-

vine connection and jam our frequency. We forget our birthright, our divinity. Our monkey minds start spinning a story, and we get into a loop.

And we bring that story onto the freeway and into work and back home.

It defines how we show up in the world. That is when you would seek out the professional prayer practitioner that only sees you as a perfect, whole, and complete child of God and sees the situation from a perspective of spiritual consciousness.

Affirmative prayer is a form of prayer or a metaphysical technique focused on a positive outcome rather than a negative situation. With this pandemic, we went through or are still going through, as the case may be, there was a lot of need for affirmative prayer.

Not pleading and begging — because we have come to the understanding that every situation is exactly as it should be, and we find God in all of it — we just need to wait for the results with faith.

Nothing happens in this life by accident. There is a lesson in all of it and an opportunity for growth in most of it. If we change our perspective. Perspectives get changed with prayer.

Throughout history, and especially during COVID-19, there were global meditations and days of prayer.

When the world remembers its divinity all together at the same time, some powerful things can shift and start to happen.

Not so much with the outside world, which we have very little control over.

With ourselves.

Our own being. Our recollection with how close we are to the Divine is if we only slow down long enough to tap into what has always been there. Where our souls really are on fire and we stand in the truth of our enlightened being.

Oceanside Museum of Art has also been empty of visitors but has brought its art online.

The museum launched its “Museum From Home” webpage that provides links to upcoming virtual events, such as workshops, paint-ins, conversations with artists, and virtual tours of art galleries from around the nation.

Oceanside’s downtown area is one of the first 14

designated cultural districts in California.

Garms and Butler, who are both part of the district’s steering committee, said the district’s collaboration among the different museums and theatres is strong.

According to Butler, the cultural designation will be an important element to bringing back Oceanside’s economy as well as bringing together its community.

“The community needs to come in and hear laughter, hear music, and see art,” Butler said. “It’s a huge part of our recovery and that sense of community.”

While the theater and the museum are currently able to bring that laughter, music and art to the community virtually, everyone is looking forward to the day that both can safely reopen their doors.

SMALL TALK

Bullocks Wilshire and its Tea Room. We each remembered riding an elevator to the top floor of a Buffums or The Broadway or Saks Fifth Avenue with our moms or grandmothers.

Oh yeah, you were some kind of grown-up then. One mentioned her love of San Francisco, because you can still find Neiman’s, Saks and Nordstrom. Another fondly recalled Kansas City as the Hallmark center of the universe. New York has Bloomingdale’s.

But in recent years, Federated Stores absorbed I. Magnin and Bullocks. It then ate Robinson’s, which ate May Co., and then had some impact on Macy’s.

And now Penney. East Germany had a better selection after World War II. No matter how hard I try, I can’t get excited about a Walmart tearoom.

elcome back, soul seekers. I thought I would write about prayer in this column, having just graduated from Spiritual Prayer Practitioner training at Seaside’s Spiritual Leadership campus. I started to wonder ... what exactly is prayer?

Why would someone go to a practitioner with a prayer request or want to learn more about prayer?

In this column, we’ve talked about places that invoke feelings of enlightenment throughout the county and surrounding areas.

We have deduced that all of this inspiration dwells within. We’ve discussed meditation and going into the stillness to find it. It being enlightenment. Peace, serenity, knowingness.

Spirit. God. Consciousness.

So now that we found it, what do we do with it?

We pray.

Prayer could be traced back to Adam and Eve as simply as the communication between man and God. Prayer is when you talk to God. Meditation is when you listen. W. Clement Stone said, “Prayer is man’s greatest power.” The Bible says, “Pray without ceasing.”

Are you praying?

Prayer is deliberate communication. Not the 911 version. The “Lord, get me out of this one, and I promise I’ll never do it again!” kind of prayer.

More of the 411 type.

Checking in. Getting information and guidance.

Acknowledging the power of Spirit and the Universal Mind that is all around us at all times.

Coming into conscious contact with the Higher Power that runs the universe

Spotlight on Orfila chef Morganstern

Revisiting the East Coast goodness of Lobster West in Encinitas

lick the plate david boylan

I

first wrote about Lobster West seven years ago in Lick the Plate and was thrilled to have them in the burgeoning restaurant scene in Encinitas.

Since then, it’s been added to what I call my “go back list,” which are restaurants I cover for LTP that need to be worked into my regular mix. Before I get into the many reasons why they made that list, I have some updates from the family behind Lobster West.

Besides the flagship Encinitas location, Lobster West now has locations in Coronado and Carlsbad at the Windmill Food Hall.

The owners chose to close their restaurants for the past two months because of all of the unknowns of COVID-19, but they recently reopened Encinitas and Coronado for lunch takeout, curbside pickup and delivery. They hope to open all three of their locations for dine-in and full hours soon, with early June being the target date.

When I say it’s a family affair at Lobster West, it truly is and worth a quick refresher.

It’s a collaboration involving Kim Locker, her husband Joel, brother Chad, mother Debbie, and friend Larry. Kim shared

a memory of her first bite of a lobster roll while on vacation with her mom in Cape Cod, and it officially became her favorite food of all time.

When Kim moved to Encinitas, there was that lingering question of where to go for East Coast-style seafood and, in particular, lobster rolls.

After a thorough search of the area, which uncovered few places that would satisfy her craving, her family decided to take matters into their own hands and Lobster West took shape.

One of my favorite parts of their story involves their commitment to quality and responsible sourcing. The family dedicated a substantial amount of time touring facilities up and down the coast of Maine to find the best lobster resources. They spent mornings on fishing boats, met with all the suppliers who personally ship their product and inspected their facilities.

They chose the most delicious lobster they could find that adheres to the strict standards of Maine lobster fishing industry regulations. They take pride in saying that they can trace each and every lobster back to the specific harbor from which it came. Their Maine lobster is 100% certified and sustainable.

While the focus is on lobster rolls, Lobster West offers fresh crab rolls, shrimp rolls, seafood and clam chowders, amazing coleslaw, baked beans, locally grown organic salads

and more. I would put their New England-style clam chowder, cole slaw and baked beans right up there amongst the best I’ve had.

On my most recent visit, I went with the shrimp roll as it was a lunchtime visit and I wanted something a bit less rich than the lobster roll.

It was fabulous, and I will say that I demanded a bite of my son’s lobster roll and was immediately reminded of how darn good that thing is.

The call moving forward will be to order with a friend and split a lobster and shrimp roll between us and get the best of both worlds. Or... if you are feeling particularly indulgent, go for the Maine Event, which includes one lobster, crab and shrimp roll. They also recently added junior rolls, which have proved to be very popular.

The Nor’easter is a platter of three junior-sized rolls consisting of lobster,

crab and shrimp, so you get a taste of them all but don’t overindulge. I also forgot to mention, if you prefer your lobster roll warm, that’s Connecticut-style and don’t forget a bag of chips to go with it.

I’ve been mainly a soda guy with my Lobster West feasts but asked Kim about beer and wine pairings as they offer both.

She said their soups pair well with rich Chardonnays from Russian River, as well as White Burgundies such as Meursault or Pouilly-Fuisse. Wines with a little spice and honey along with cream, butter, caramel and vanilla notes do well also. For the rolls, she recommended a Sauvignon Blanc.

The acid cuts through the rich/buttery flavor and

has enough weight and texture to match the seafood.

A medium-bodied, richer Chardonnay works as well.

She also loved pairing a cold beer or champagne with everything on their menu. They have wine for sale by the bottle or glass, as well as cold beer to round out your meal and transport you to the rocky shores of Maine.

I did not make it to dessert, but they do offer Maine’s beloved whoopie pies.

They have also given their locations an East Coast fish joint look and feel that adds to the authenticity of the experience. Stay on top of their hours and locations at www.lobsterwest.com and make Lobster West part of your culinary go-back mix for sure.

hen Frank and I were thinking of a local North County chef to spotlight, we were torn.

There are many great chefs out there, but we finally decided to feature Orfila Oceanside Tasting Room Executive Chef Luke Morganstern.

Like all great chefs we meet, Luke fits the textbook description —passion for great fresh food and someone you want to chat with for hours.

A large part of his passion was due to growing up in a culinary environment.

When he was 6 years old, his parents opened a family restau ra nt in New York, the Ros end a le Café, where MORGANSTERN his mom was the chef, his father booked music and Luke helped everywhere else he could.

Since he was 14, Luke has been involved in some aspect of the restaurant industry, ranging from dishwashing to serving to bartending for a brief time.

Luke said that he prefers to drink beer more than serving it.

His first position as a cook came when he was 25.

He moved back upstate from NYC to help with the booming café. Luke admitted that he was a little intimidated, but he needed a job and his family needed the help.

As he got more into cooking, Luke was inspired by cooking shows, other local cooks and reading books, including “Kitchen Confidential” by the late Anthony Bourdain.

Luke came to the San Diego area six years ago. After a few line cook positions, he put his culinary school goal in motion at the San Diego Culinary Institute.

After finishing culinary school, Luke became the sous chef at Amicis. A few years later, he was introduced to Orfila Vineyards and Winery in Escondido where he met Winemaker and GM Justin Mund.

“I was blown away with the quality of the wine, the beautiful vineyard, and by Justin’s passion and complete unpretentiousness with his winemaking,” Luke said. “He was just a really great, funny, and a knowledgeable guy.”

During lunch, Justin told Luke that Orfila was TURN TO TASTE OF WINE ON B7

F

ifteen years ago, my wife and I were sitting in Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop Bar in New Orleans. Another gentleman at the bar had the same camera as us, and we started chatting.

He was a barber from Chicago and had a passion for music. He’s become one of our closest friends. A decade ago, my wife and I were having a fairly rousing discussion about the terms used during games of badminton at our local tavern.

A couple of eavesdroppers near us interjected to ask, “Did you just say ‘shuttlecock’?” He was a coffee roaster, and she made homemade soap. Today they both work in the tech field, have a couple of kids, and we still meet up whenever we’re back in the Midwest.

Chance encounters over a drink can be a great way to get to know interesting people. I am still staying home in an effort to minimize the risk of contracting or spreading the novel coronavirus, mak-

ing those encounters more planned, but I’ve still been able to meet some interesting people and learn their stories over a drink.

This week I shared a beer virtually with Brian Beagle, local custom homebuilder and host of the Indie Beer Show podcast, where he and his co-hosts each bring beer to try while discussing the ins and outs of the local beer scene.

He also hosts the an-

nual Sore Eye Cup beer awards and a successful food drive every holiday at Society Brewing Company called Sore Eye Sudmas.

He was drinking a LeBron Haze IPA from Pariah Brewing, and I a local classic, Pizza Port’s Chronic Amber.

Brian offered great insights into the struggles facing local businesses, including major changes in the availability of supplies

for homebuilders and the financial impact of the pandemic on local breweries.

His passion for all things local was inspiring, and he shared a helpful and comprehensive list from the San Diego Brewers Guild listing which breweries are open, whether they’re serving in-person, takeout or delivery and what their requirements for purchasing beer are.

The list is updated in real time by your favorite breweries and is easy to navigate. You can find the list right on the front page of sdbeer.com.

I also got to meet Encinitas Deputy Mayor, and candidate for City Council, Kellie Shay Hinze for a cup of coffee.

She enjoyed a cup from Ironsmith in Encinitas, and I brewed a pot of beans from Zumbar Coffee & Tea in Cardiff. Both shops ship their beans, which has changed my mornings for the better.

Kellie spoke of mentorship and how there are a lot of great female political leaders both nationally and locally who have become inspiring examples for herself and the next generation.

A cup of coffee, a craft beer or cocktail isn’t just a drink. It’s an opportunity to take a moment to learn

something new, meet someone new and be inspired.

The social aspect of drinking is as important as the drink itself, and I hope you take a moment during your next sip of fine beverage to appreciate how your life is impacted by those moments occurring between full and empty glasses!

If you want to get to know Brian Beagle and Kellie Shay Hinze, you can listen to our conversations on the Cheers! North County Podcast found everywhere you listen to great podcasts.

Or look for links on the @ CheersNorthCounty social media pages.

A lot has changed in the past week. On Friday, restaurants, breweries and bars serving food were able to reopen to the public with restrictions. It is the first time since mid-March we can go somewhere, sit down and order a beer. The question for business owners was, “Just because I can, should I?” For customers, “Just because I can, will I?” Like all things during this pandemic, the answers aren’t easy to discern, but whatever businesses and customers decide I hope you’ll stay safe.

Wear a mask. Remember to be patient. We’re all going through this for the first time together.

TASTE OF WINE CONTINUED FROM B6

opening a tasting room in Oceanside with a full kitchen and was looking for a chef.

As soon as Luke heard this, he was immediately interested; he has lived in Oceanside since he moved here from New York. Luke stated, “I love Oceanside, for a multitude of reasons, but ultimately it’s my favorite beach town and community in all San Diego, and I really wanted to work here.”

Since COVID-19 started, Luke and Dave Robinson, the new tasting room manager, have been running a limited menu. However, the Oceanside Tasting Room has reopened. The new menu, a little smaller, includes a seared halibut dish featured on the “Visit Oceanside” cooking show.

For Italian food lovers, there is a Thursday night family lasagna meal that includes: a half hotel pan of spinach and garlic lasagna, a whole baguette of garlic bread and a family-sized Caesar salad. The deal will feed a family of four. Don’t forget to add on one of their O’mazing wines. Also, enjoy Saturday BBQs on the patio!

Luke will be creating a different dish every Saturday, the first one was Santa Maria Tri-Tip. Visit orfila.com for details and hours open.

10. U.S. STATES: In which state is Elvis Presley’s estate (Graceland) located?

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your Aries self-esteem level is high, as is your impatience to see more action come your way in the workplace.

Good news, Lamb: It could start to happen sooner than you think.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Changing things now could upset a lot of people. But if you feel you’re acting because you believe it’s the right thing to do, others will understand and even come to support you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A change of mind might not necessarily be a change of heart. You still want to go ahead with your plans, but you might see a better way to make them happen. So go for it.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An old business dispute could re-emerge and possibly affect upcoming negotiations. Consider opening up the situation to include suggestions from others on both sides of the issue.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Some Leos and Leonas might find it somewhat difficult to get their ideas accepted or even considered. But that’s only for a while. Things will soon return to the way you like them.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The pace seems to be slowing down from the hectic on-the-job run you recently enjoyed. But be assured that you’re still in the race to pick up new workplace-related goodies.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Seasonal changes create opportunities for busy Librans. However, be sure to balance your workload with your personal life so that you don’t overdo it on one end or the other.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A former critic could make a surprise turnaround and become a supporter. But if your Scorpion sense suspects a questionable motive, who are the rest of us to doubt it?

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Data on a new project seems less than dependable. But it might turn out to be just the opposite.

Consult with someone who knows how you might best be able to check it out.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Capricorneans face many decisions this week, with the Sea Goat’s kids rating high on the consideration scale, especially regarding vacations and upcoming school matters.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Showing that you care is what Aquarians do so well. It’s your very special skill. And this week, you’ll have several chances to show off that gift for a very special person. Good luck.

PISCES (February 19 to March 21) That streak of Piscean wariness should serve you well this week should you be among those who come up against a slippery character offering a fishy deal with nothing to back it up.
