Surfing Madonna receives reprieve

LIFE OF A LEADER Encinitas City

By Wehtahnah Tucker

ENCINITAS — The much talked about Surfing Madonna might get a reprieve from the city while it figures out how to remove the mosaic without doing any harm to the unsanctioned art. Consultants hired by the city told the council in a report May 11 that they would like to test various removal methods including using heat and chemicals to preserve the art while removing it. Councilwoman Teresa Barth asked for a discussion of the artwork to be placed on a future agenda. Councilwoman Maggie

Pirates to retell history of Solana Beach By Bianca Kaplanek

SOLANA BEACH — With a little help from some time-traveling pirates and city funding, the youth of North Coast Repertory Theatre will present “The Perfectly Preposterous Pirate Adventure of Solana Beach” at 5 p.m. May 19 through May 22 and 2 p.m. May 22. A tale of the city’s history and unique qualities, the play begins in the 1920s, jumps forward 100 years to a time when Solana Beach becomes its own country, and concludes in 2011.

With the exception of the timetraveling marauders, the story of how and why Solana Beach became a city is accurate, according to Matt Thompson, the theater school director who cowrote the adventure with Kathryn Byrd, NCRT development officer. “I took lots of liberties with the pirates, but historically it’s concrete,” Thompson said. So why the high-sea bandits? “I like pirates,” Thompson said. “They’re nautical, and this is a beach town. And kids like pirates.”

In 2009, as part of its Community Grant Program, City Council voted 4-1 to allocate $3,000 to NCRT to produce the show this year for the city’s 25th anniversary celebration. While Councilman Tom Campbell said he thought it was a worthy program, he felt there were organizations with greater financial needs at the time. Thompson said total production costs were about $8,000, so city funding was significantly helpful. But he said he TURN TO PIRATES ON A17

City denies license for medical marijuana co-op By Bianca Kaplanek

DEL MAR — City Council voted unanimously at the May 9 meeting to uphold a finance director decision to deny a business license to sell medical marijuana. Patrick Kennedy, who lives in Escondido, said he applied for and received a business license to operate 1105 Cooperative Inc., which he described in his application as an alternative medi-

cine-MM cooperative to be located at 1105 Camino del Mar. He said he opened April 1, but later that day received a visit from Planning Manager Adam Birnbaum, who told him his license had been revoked because zoning regulations did not allow such businesses in the central commercial zone. The $345 application fee was returned. Birnbaum said a license

was never issued. “It was submitted, reviewed and denied based on noncompliance with local law,” he said. According to a staff report, Kennedy received notification of denial March 31. Allowable uses for the area are community and personal services and cultural, retail, restaurant and office uses. “The medical marijuana cooperative was not one of the uses outlined in that zone

Seniors fear rise in mobile home rent By Promise Yee

OCEANSIDE — City Council approval of vacancy decontrol for mobile home park spaces struck fear for the future in many seniors, veterans and working poor, who make up a large percentage of mobile home residents. The OK was given in a 32 vote on May 4 in which Mayor Jim Wood and Councilwoman Esther Sanchez voted no. “I think it’s our job to protect the ordinances,”Wood said. “At some times government does have to step in and protect people.” There were 160 requests to speak on the item and an estimated 100 residents were turned away from the meeting due to lack of space even after two overflow areas were opened. At the start of the meeting it was understood that TURN TO MOBILE HOME ON A17
