Administrator Lee Zeldin visited with San Diego leaders on April 22 and got a first-hand look at the persistent sewage issues plaguing the U.S.-Mexico border, saying the issue needs to be resolved with “extreme urgency.’’

Among those meeting with Zeldin were county Supervisors Joel Anderson and Jim Desmond; Reps. Darrell Issa and Mike Levin; Coronado Mayor John Duncan; Chula Vista Mayor John McCann; and El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells. Zeldin’s trip also included a Monday night meeting with Alicia Bárcena, secretary of the Environment and Natural Resources of Mexico, and other Mexican officials for what he said was a discussion “about ending decades of raw sewage entering the U.S. from Mexico.’’

“It was clear in the way that the Mexican environmental secretary approached every aspect of this meeting yesterday ... that she wants to have a strong collaborative relationship,’’ Zeldin said. “... I welcome that collaboration.’’

He said he hopes a joint statement will be issued in the TURN TO SEWAGE ON 12

Carlsbad gets coastal land in deal with utilities

By Walker Armstrong CARLSBAD — The

Carlsbad City Council on April 15 approved a long-awaited settlement agreement with San Diego Gas & Electric and Cabrillo Power, a subsidiary of NRG Energy, to relocate SDG&E’s coastal service yard and transfer several properties to the city for public use.

The deal, known as the “Seaside Transaction Agreement,” includes the transfer of approximately six acres of coastal property to the city, including Cannon Park and surrounding parcels, while SDG&E relocates operations to a 9.2-acre inland site acquired from Cabrillo Power.

Deputy City Manager Gary Barberio described the deal as “a great result,” highlighting that the agreement achieved everything staff said it would when last presented to the council in December 2023.

“We were successful, and what we had told you is a great result,” Barberio said.

The resolution had been in the making for more than a decade. The issue stems from a 2014 agreement between the city, SDG&E and NRG Energy, which negotiated terms to demolish the Encina Power Station, construct a 632-megawatt natural gas peaker plant (Carlsbad Energy Center), and relocate SDG&E’s North Coast Service Center, which is used for fleet maintenance, repairs, emergency services and training.

The original agreement stipulates that the new service center must be situated west of El Camino Real with good freeway access. The parcel must be 10 to 12 acres and relatively flat to allow for a new 30,000 to 32,000-square-foot building.

If unable to relocate

the center, NRG would pay the city $10 million, per the original agreement. All three parties were responsible for agreeing upon a final location for the new service center by 2016. In 2021, SDG&E and the city had suggested relocating the service center to the parking lot of The Shoppes at Carlsbad. However, Joe Gabaldon, public affairs manager for SDG&E, said a full year of analysis revealed

the site was unacceptable due to flooding concerns from Buena Vista Creek.

“Along the way, many issues were identified and addressed,” Gabaldon previously said. “SDG&E hired leading consultants to review varying engineering studies. These experts and our staff have determined that the site and associated access with continue to have significant risks to flooding.”

In 2022, the city criti-

cized SDG&E for struggling to identify potential service center sites and noted it had not received promised incentives, such as land ownership, despite hosting the power plant and bearing its impacts.

“We agreed to do something we were adamantly opposed to only because we were supposed to get this bundle of benefits, which we haven’t got yet,” Barberio said at the time.

Under last week’s agreement, the city will also gain ownership of additional lands, including a 5.75-acre parcel on the north shore of Agua Hedionda Lagoon, bluff lands stretching from the Warm Water Jetty to the Terramar neighborhood, the middle and inner lagoon basins, and the underlying land along portions of Carlsbad Boulevard and Cannon Road.

The deal also grants the city an easement across Lot 11, allowing development of a trailhead and improved access to the Hub Park trail

system. SDG&E will also contribute $1 million toward the development of the trail.

Barberio emphasized that the deal will be implemented in phases, beginning with a 180-day due diligence period. Regulato-

ry approvals from the California Public Utilities Commission, California Coastal Commission and the city will be required before land transfers and construction activities can proceed.

“All of the transactional costs will be equally split by Cab One and SDG&E,” Barberio said. “The city will not bear any of these costs.”

If regulatory approvals are not obtained, the city would still receive a $10 million payment from Cabrillo Power and retain the ability to take ownership of the bluff lands, lagoon basins and Carlsbad Boulevard frontage.

City Attorney Cindie McMahon called it “the most sophisticated agreement that I’ve ever been a part of,” adding that it creates shared incentives for all parties to complete the required steps.

Mayor Pro Tem Priya Bhat-Patel praised the agreement as “a solution to move forward” and made the motion to adopt both resolutions related to the agreement, which the council approved unanimously.

After fires, test for housing laws

By almost any measure, the spate of housing bills adopted by California lawmakers over the last five years has failed.

But the January firestorm that swept through large parts of Los Angeles County may give them new life. Those fires, ranging across portions of a 40-mile stretch on the south slope of the Santa Monica and San Gabriel mountains, destroyed more homes and apartments than any fire California had seen before.

WRITERS/COLUMNISTS INTERNS

2021, California passed Assembly Bill 101 (AB 101), requiring high school students to complete one semester of Ethnic Studies to graduate, beginning with the Class of 2030. Public high schools are required to offer the course starting in the 2025–

a Board vote on whether to integrate Ethnic Studies into English, the then Board President refused. The majority of the Board remained silent, allowing the plan to proceed without formal approval.

To her credit, the Superintendent agreed to a public process to review the

proposed a practical compromise: make the Ethnic Studies-English course optional. Suddenly, cost and scheduling concerns were apparently no longer an issue!

While I would have preferred shelving the course entirely, I supported the optional model. Under this

Instead of objectively teaching the history of race in America, this framework often divides people into categories of ‘oppressors’ and ‘victims’ based on their race or ethnicity.

26 school year.

The state provided a “model curriculum” grounded in the “Liberated Ethnic Studies” framework — a controversial approach that emphasizes systems of oppression and social justice activism. Instead of objectively teaching the history of race in America, this framework often divides people into categories of “oppressors” and “victims” based on their race or ethnicity, advancing a specific ideology.

In the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD), the administration proposed embedding a full semester of Ethnic Studies into 9th Grade English. This bypassed more appropriate options, such as integrating the content into history or offering a standalone course for upperclassmen.

curriculum, which led to modest improvements. Still, the course remained rooted in the divisive framework underlying the state’s model curriculum.

I proposed making the course optional. Families who preferred traditional English could fulfill the Ethnic Studies requirement later — through independent study, a community college course, or another alternative.

This approach seemed especially reasonable, since students transferring into the district later in high school would need such options anyway. The administration rejected the idea, citing cost and scheduling complications, and again the Board declined to vote.

plan, no student is forced into the new curriculum. Parents can choose what they feel is best for their child.

After discussion — and reluctant support from some of our Board members — we voted to make the integrated course optional.

The preeminent goal of the new laws is to make housing in this state more dense. They have not done that on a large scale. But the fires essentially created large new blank canvasses where the aims of the new housing laws may receive a definitive test.

If the sudden appearance of thousands of acres of eminently buildable land doesn’t create denser housing than ever before, it’s hard to see what might. Taken together, the destruction of at least 10,000 homes and apartments across the heart of California’s largest urban area thus represents an ultimate test for the social engineering attempted since 2020. If the area isn’t densified now, proponents of that kind of housing will probably have to change their tactics.

Their aim has long been, as Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener of San Francisco puts it, to “end single-family zoning as we’ve known it.”

Similarly, the 2021 SB 10, allowing for multi-unit development near rapid transit stops, had produced very little. So it looked as if Californians are not eager to densify, even if that’s what some Democrats who dominate in Sacramento want.

Now an entirely new urban opportunity exists. Yes, the majority of single-family homeowners will rebuild. But many homes in both Pacific Palisades and Altadena, the other January fire focus, had been owned by folks who purchased their properties in the 1960s and 1970s. Many are now well past 70 years old with little desire to rebuild, as most of their younger neighbors plan.

Significant numbers of former single-family properties are available to new buyers, including developers. Some fire-vacated lots have already been sold. They are eligible for at least four units each under SB 9.

This raised serious concerns. Ninth Grade English is foundational and has been honed over decades to build critical thinking, reading comprehension, and writing skills. Yet under AB 101, any course meeting the Ethnic Studies mandate must devote the majority of instructional time to that content. This means stripping out core English material to make room for Ethnic Studies content. Many educators and parents viewed this as detrimental to students’ academic development.

I objected to this proposal. When I requested

Then, somewhat unexpectedly, the Governor’s proposed budget failed to allocate funding for implementing AB 101.

Since the law requires state funding to take effect, this put the mandate on hold. SDUHSD now had a clear path forward: pause the program and return to the proven English curriculum.

Instead, a small but vocal group pushed to keep Ethnic Studies as a local graduation requirement. Some districts, like Palo Alto, even imposed the mandate despite the law being inactive — prompting significant public backlash.

Fortunately, when the issue returned to our Board, the administration

Last week, the incoming freshman class finalized their course selections. The results speak volumes. Across our four high schools, only 12% of students selected the integrated English/Ethnic Studies course. At Torrey Pines and La Costa Canyon, interest was so low that a single section may not be viable. Canyon Crest had enough interest for one section; San Dieguito Academy, possibly three.

Parents have spoken. Most prefer the traditional English curriculum that has served students well for decades.

This isn’t necessarily over. If the state funds AB 101 in the future, the requirement will resume. Until then, we should respect parents’ choices, prioritize educational excellence, and protect core academic subjects from ideological overreach.

Let parents choose. Let students learn without political coercion. That’s what real educational equity looks like.

Michael Allman is a Trustee of the San Dieguito Union High School District.

No place in California and possibly the nation was more devoted to sprawling single-family homes than the pre-January Pacific Palisades district of Los Angeles city. The new state laws barely touched it.

No large new apartment buildings or condominiums ever rose along the area’s main street, the storied Sunset Boulevard.

The largest apartment buildings there had two floors, with a few higher-rise condos slotted in spots invisible from that street.

Almost no new multi-family buildings went up in the Palisades, no matter what requirements might have been imposed by new laws.

Here’s the record to date of two such laws: The 2021 SB 9 allows homeowners to split their lots and build at least four units where formerly there was one. By mid-2024, the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley found that fewer than 500 homeowners had successfully applied for such lot splits.

The 2022 AB 2011 was supposed to let developers

Some two-floor apartment buildings in Pacific Palisades also burned. Many fronted on Sunset, where transit stops abound, so those properties could see multi-story development, despite an SB 10 provision letting local officials decide whether or not to upzone fire areas.

If such development does not happen there, it may never happen anywhere, as huge profits seem likely for opportunistic developers. If the January fires were truly 100-year firestorms, no similarly sized fire is likely there for many years.

This sets up a litmus test for major housing laws Sacramento has pushed on the rest of California, complete with demands for dense new building in every city as part of an attempt to meet the state’s housing shortage. If it doesn’t happen in the January fire zones, lawmakers should change their priorities and begin paying attention to more rural vacant areas in deserts and other areas where land is cheaper even if it means commutes would be longer

THE BEST OF NORTH COUNTY 2025

North County Businesses Boost Support for Military Families

In North County, the military is more than just present — it’s a vital part of everyday life. With bases stretching from Coronado to Camp Pendleton, San Diego County is a key hub for U.S. military operations. The Navy’s Pacific Fleet is headquartered here, the Marine Corps operates from Miramar and San Diego proper, and the Coast Guard maintains a strong presence. Camp Pendleton, located in North County, is the largest Marine Corps base in the country.

Cities like Oceanside, Carlsbad, and Del Mar share deep military ties and are expanding efforts to support the service members and families who call the area home. U.S. Rep. Mike Levin(D), whose district includes Camp Pendleton, emphasized the importance of community support.

“These men and women dedicate their lives to serving our country, and we owe it to them to provide stability and opportunity — especially for their families,” Levin said. “That starts with access to affordable housing, education, and jobs right here in North County.”

Affordable housing is a growing concern, with rental prices often exceeding what military families can afford. In response, local governments are collaborating with landlords and veteran organizations to increase rental assistance and affordable housing options.

Organizations like Support the Enlisted Project (STEP) and Armed Services YMCA Camp Pendleton provide emergency financial help, childcare, and resources for incoming families. Workforce support is also expanding, with the North County Chamber of Commerce teaming up with Hiring Our Heroes to host job fairs and networking events for military

spouses and transitioning service members.

Schools such as Oceanside Unified and Carlsbad Unified offer counseling and academic support for military-connected students. Local colleges, including MiraCosta College, have veterans’ centers that assist with advising, financial aid, and peer support.

Community events celebrate and honor those who serve. Oceanside’s Operation Appreciation offers a day of food, music, and fun for active-duty personnel. Carlsbad hosts the Military School Band & Choir Festival and an annual Veterans Day Parade. Local businesses, like Toyota Carlsbad, show appreciation through military discounts and special services.

North County is sending a strong message: military families aren’t just welcome — they’re an essential part of what makes the region thrive.

Construction nearly finished on county park

By Samantha Nelson FALLBROOK

— Construction is nearly complete on Village View County Park, Fallbrook’s newest public space and home to the community’s first-ever skatepark, which is expected to open this summer.

Located on a 6.8-acre site along East Fallbrook Street between Golden and Morro roads, the park will feature a range of amenities including a multi-use path, shaded picnic and adventure play areas, a multipurpose field, an off-leash dog zone, parking and an ADA-accessible restroom.

“The vision of Fallbrook residents will soon become a reality as we finalize construction on the much-anticipated Village View County Park,” said Jason Hemmens, director of the San Diego County Parks and Recreation Department. “The community has been a strong supporter of this project and was involved in designing the park from the beginning.”

The County of San Diego acquired the land in early 2020 using Community Development Block Grant funds and has allocated approximately $14 million toward the park’s development.

Funding sources also include the County General Fund, Parks Expansion and Improvement Funds, Park Land Dedication Ordinance and other grants.

Originally slated to open in the spring, the park’s debut was delayed due to unusually heavy rainfall in 2023.

Construction began in the fall of that year, following a series of virtual public meetings and online surveys that helped shape the final design.

“We are excited to be able to provide so much of what the community asked for – a place to play, take the dogs, picnic, and, of course, enjoy the new all-wheel skatepark,” Hemmens added.

A significant highlight of the park is the all-wheel skatepark, which spans approximately 20,000 square

feet and features a bowl, quarter pipes, rails, kickers, a volcano, wedge ramps, and stairs.

Designed by skatepark specialist Spohn Ranch in partnership with RICK Engineering, the skatepark was developed using input from residents through focus groups, surveys and community meetings.

The county also partnered with Fallbrook Skate-

park Inc., a local nonprofit advocating for safe skating spaces.

The group donated to the skatepark’s development and has been sharing updates about its progress online.

“It has been an adventure of a lifetime to see Fallbrook’s first public skatepark come to fruition,” the nonprofit wrote on its Instagram page.

CONSTRUCTION CREWS work on Fallbrook’s new Village View County Park, which is set to open this summer. The new public space will feature a multi-use path, shaded picnic and play areas, a multipurpose field, an off-leash dog zone and skatepark.

New rules irk commissioners

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — City planning commissioners are seeking a formal meeting with the City Council after expressing frustration over a proposed policy shift that would give the council broader authority to review appeals of commission-approved development projects.

In March, the City Council voted 3-2 to allow de novo public hearings for appealed development projects, meaning the council could evaluate an entire project rather than being limited to only the specific issues raised in an appeal.

The change still requires a project to be appealed before the council can review it.

On April 14, city staff brought forward zoning text amendments to align the city’s Local Coastal Plan with the new policy. Planning commissioners were asked to recommend the changes for future council approval, but instead voted 5-1 to take no action and called for a meeting with the council to discuss the change and clarify their role.

“It’s another knock on the Planning Commission is the way I take it,” said Commissioner Tom Rosales, who made the motion. “Again, it’s as if there’s not a level of confidence that the Planning Commission got it right… I guess the entire thing annoys me.”

Commissioner Louise Balma, who has served on the commission for 23 years, echoed the sentiment, describing the move as a “jab" at the commission.

“It’s like when you thought you were doing a good job and now all of a sudden, you’re being questioned,” she said. “Everyone on this commission pretty much knows what they’re doing – it does kind of hurt a bit, it feels like there’s no respect.”

Commissioner Michael Ogden was the lone dissenting vote, siding with the City Council’s authority.

“I see no other option than to accept that change,” Ogden said. “I didn’t understand the change, but it’s ultimately up to City Council as the elected leaders representing the city’s voters, not the planning commissioners.”

Encinitas grants funds to CRC

The Encinitas City Council allocated thousands of dollars in anticipated federal funds to three community organizations on April 16, continuing a discussion from last month prompted by concerns about public safety issues related to one of the proposed recipients.

for the day to permanently suspending them from CRC programs, even calling the Sheriff’s Office if necessary.

“There are things we do have in place to address those behaviors,” Van Cleef said.

supported the change in March cited frustration with the current policy’s limits on their ability to evaluate appealed projects fully. The proposal has drawn mixed reactions from the public.

While some residents backed the change, others, including the Building Industry Association of San Diego, warned it could delay or discourage new housing developments.

Planning Commission Vice Chair John Malik was absent.

Appointments

The City Council has appointed two new members to the Oceanside Planning Commission, selecting Graciela Redgate and Emily Gonzales to replace former commissioners Malik and Ogden.

Redgate and Gonzales were chosen from a pool of 12 applicants, with seven finalists interviewed during an April 16 council workshop. Each of the five council members ranked their top four choices, and Redgate and Gonzales were the only applicants ranked by all five.

Their four-year terms will run through April 15, 2029.

Ogden, who sought reappointment, received support from only three council members. Malik, who recently served as vice chair, did not apply for another term.

Redgate, an Oceanside native and homeowner in District 4, also serves on the city’s Economic Development Commission. She holds a bachelor’s degree in business management and is pursuing a master’s degree in public policy.

“As a homeowner in District 4 and a mother of three, I have a personal stake in ensuring that the future planning of Oceanside reflects thoughtful and ethical consideration that addresses the needs of all residents while supporting the success of our local economy,” Redgate said.

Gonzales, a 20-year resident of Oceanside, is the executive director of The Swell Collective, a nonprofit organization focused on professional training, coaching, and collaboration to support marginalized communities.

“I have seen firsthand how tension can be transformed into new ideas and deeper partnerships,” Gonzales said.

In a 4-0 vote with Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes absent, the council agreed to allocate $41,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds and $14,000 in General Fund subsidy dollars between three organizations — $30,000 for the Community Resource Center, $10,000 for MealsOn-Wheels, and $15,000 for the Boys & Girls Club.

The council originally discussed the allocations in March, but decided to delay a decision after some residents raised concerns about alleged illegal behavior from individuals in the vicinity of the Community Resource Center (CRC).

The center’s offices on Second Street provide social services to around 7,000 individuals annually in coastal North County, including food services, domestic violence programs, housing assistance and counseling. The CDBG funding will support their food pantry and distribution programs, which support 415 low-income families in the community.

Following the March meeting, city staff proposed a memorandum of understanding with performance standards for each CDBG funding recipient. These proposed standards required CRC to clear all litter from the street by the end of each day and to relocate the queue for clients seeking services from the street into the building’s indoor breezeway.

However, after much discussion and back-andforth with CRC leaders and multiple public comments, the council agreed to forgo these requirements and approve the funding.

“You were looking for compassionate and productive dialogue; you know I am too, and I don’t know the answer yet today, but I would like to get there. I think what’s in front of me tonight is not right,” said Mayor Bruce Ehlers.

The council chambers were filled with people supporting CRC, many of whom held signs featuring the organization’s logo. Several of them encouraged compassion rather than fearmongering about homeless people in Encinitas.

“There is not one business or organization that has brought homelessness to our city … this is a problem across our nation that is fueled by the opioid epidemic, rising cost of living and mental health issues,” said Lisa Nava, president

of North County Justice Allies.

Others noted that CRC’s programs prevent more people from entering homelessness. The nutrition program provides free food, allowing families to allocate their limited income to other necessities, such as rent and medical bills.

“The people who rely on the CRC food pantry are not strangers. They are our students,” said Lupita Barnett, a community liaison in the Encinitas Union School District. “They are kids who smile at dropoff and try to focus on math even when they went to bed hungry.”

A couple of residents, however, stated that the neighborhood is negatively affected by some of the individuals at the CRC. Natalie Settoon claimed there is “overwhelming criminal behavior in the immediate proximity” of the center, and resident David Dean said he has seen individuals urinating on the street.

“It’s not fair for the local residents and neighbors to experience what they’re experiencing on a regular basis,” Dean said.

Council members said that while they all support the CRC’s invaluable services in the community, they are concerned about the reports of illegal behavior.

“We will get these 415 families food. We’re all dedicated to that … but I also have a responsibility to my residents and my businesses, and we need more than we’re getting from you, is what we’re told,” Councilmember Jim O’Hara told CRC.

John Van Cleef, CEO of the CRC, stated that there is an assumption that homeless individuals causing a public nuisance are all connected to the CRC, when in fact, that is not the case. Many of these concerns, he said, need to be addressed

as part of a larger conversation about homelessness locally.

“I think we’re having two conversations here — one conversation is a citywide strategic plan to address homelessness in the city of Encinitas, and the other is CDBG funding to support the food and nutrition program. In both places, I do want to affirm our commitment to partner in those areas,” Van Cleef said. He assured the council that CRC has a protocol for dealing with individuals who violate their code of conduct, which can range from asking them to leave

SALARY

Watts said the team offers a variety of resources, which many people accept. The number of unhoused individuals who decline resources and cause issues in the community is very low — around 15 or fewer — and many of these individuals appear to be struggling with addiction.

“Most of the time we’re dealing with addictions, and addictions are horrible, and it becomes a cycle. If we can just break them out of that addiction, they’re so much better, and they can come back into society and not be repeat offenders and move on with their lives,” Watts said.

The CDBG funds were part of a larger discussion regarding the Consolidated Plan, which guides how these funds are spent. These federal dollars must be used for projects that benefit low- to moderate-income individuals, address urgent needs, or prevent or eliminate blight.

Encinitas anticipates receiving approximately $273,884 in CDBG funds in the 2025-26 fiscal year, although final figures have not yet been announced. The City Council added the General Fund subsidy to

Pets of the Week

BABA is Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s pet of the week. He is a 7-year-old, 10-pound, male, Seal Point Siamese mixed cat.

Baba was surrendered to a crowded shelter when his owner died. He was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters.

Baba is a tender-hearted boy with a soft voice and a love for quiet moments. He’s still learning to feel fully at ease, but his sweet chatter is a sign of the trust he’s building. Baba likes calm spaces and cozy nooks. Move at his pace and he will happily share his world.

The $75 adoption fee includes a medical exam, neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, registered microchip and a one-year license if the new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services.

For information about adoption or being a virtual foster, stop by Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza St., Encinitas, call 760- 753-6413 or visit SDpets.org.

HEART is the San Diego Humane Society’s pet of the week.

Heart is a 2-year-old female pup with a big heart — like her name implies. She was found as a stray and is looking for a patient home where she can feel safe and loved.

Heart will do best in a calm environment without too many people coming and going. Her ideal home is one without young children. If there are older kids in the home, they must be present for her interaction so we can ensure they mesh. Once she is comfortable, she will seek out affection. She loves playing with her toys and fetch. She has a mixed history with other dogs, so make sure to bring along any current canines to meet her as well.

Heart’s adoption fee is $110. She is located at the Oceanside campus. Fees include spay/neuter services, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, an incentive for pet insurance and a license for residence. For questions, visit sdhumane.org/adopt or call 619-299-7012.

Escondido celebrates Indigenous art, culture

Tribes across county showcase heritage at festival

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO — Na-

tive American tribes from across San Diego County gathered on April 19 for the inaugural Southern California Indigenous Culture and Art Festival in Grape Day Park, a first-ofits-kind event in Escondido that celebrates the region’s Indigenous heritage through dance, song, art and storytelling.

Organized by the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians, part of the larger Kumeyaay Nation, and co-sponsored by the city of Escondido, the festival welcomed tribal communities to share their culture with the public through live performances and demonstrations.

Discussions to host the festival began last year between Mayor Dane White, then-council candidate Judy Fitzgerald, and leaders of the San Pasqual Band.

In early April, the tribe formally requested that the city cover most of the event's costs — nearly $72,000 — with the understanding that the tribe and other local bands would fund future festivals.

“We want to keep this going every year if we can,” said Johnny Hughes, a San Pasqual Band member, during the April 2 City Council meeting.

Hughes also serves as a founder and board member of the Native Youth Foundation, which works to empower Indigenous

members of the traveling group, Coast Guard officials stated.

The crew of the cutter brought the detainees to Oceanside, where they were transferred to the custody of the U.S. Border Patrol.

The incident is the lat-

youth through education and sports, and participated in the festival.

While some City Council members expressed concern about the timing and expense of the funding request, the council ultimately approved the allocation, citing the festival’s cultural significance.

Escondido is home

est in a series of apparent maritime human-smuggling attempts along the San Diego coastline. In February, the U.S. Coast Guard intercepted 13 migrants aboard a panga-style vessel approximately 22 miles west of Encinitas. Earlier that same month, a boat carrying several people washed ashore in Ocean Beach.

VOLUNTEER PATROL

The Volunteer Patrol of the Vista 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 community of Vista & 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, and a valid California driver’s license. Training includes a mandatory two-week academy plus training patrols. The minimum commitment is 6 hours per week & attendance at a monthly meeting. erested parties should contact Administrator Brian Ross to arrange an information meeting.

to the San Pasqual Band, whose ancestors once lived in the San Pasqual Valley near today’s San Diego Zoo Safari Park before being displaced following the arrival of Spanish colonizers and the establishment of Mission San Diego de Alcala in 1769.

Today, the tribe’s reservation sits in the hills

overlooking Lake Wohlford and neighboring Valley Center, and is home to Valley View Casino, the Band’s primary economic driver.

Although the San Pasqual Band organized the event, other local tribes contributed stories and traditions, including Diana Duro of the Pala Band

of Mission Indians, a member of the Pala Cultural Resource Committee.

Duro shared the story of the Cupeño people, who now comprise part of the Pala tribe alongside the Luiseños.

The Cupeño, or “Kuupangaxwichem,” meaning “people who slept here,” were relocated from

their ancestral homeland in Warner Springs to the Luiseño reservation in Pala in May 1903.

According to the Pala Band, it marked the first time in U.S. history that two distinct tribes were forced to share a reservation.

Duro described the emotional three-day journey, now known as the Cupeño “Trail of Tears.”

“We didn’t come in fancy clothes, we came as is,” Duro said. “They called us savages, but we didn’t have fences and walls around us, we were free. That’s how we grew.”

At the festival, Duro and fellow dancers wore handmade dresses reminiscent of those worn by women during the relocation. Their performance was accompanied by the Kupa Song and Dance Group, who sang songs recounting the Cupeño’s history.

Out-of-state tribal members also participated, including Rebekah Jarvey, a member of the Chippewa Cree Tribe from Montana and an Indigenous fashion designer.

Jarvey collaborated with the Native Youth Foundation to showcase her designs with local Native youth modeling on stage. The event featured food vendors, including those selling frybread, Indigenous-inspired jewelry and apparel, and informational booths offering resources for Native communities.

City and tribal leaders estimated attendance between 2,000 and 5,000 for the landmark cultural celebration.

Ex-Diegueño staffer pleads guilty to charges

By Leo Place

Omar Hernandez Galeana, 22, entered a guilty plea on April 15 in Vista Su-

LWV engages Issa suit

By City News Service REGION

— The League of Women Voters of California is taking steps to intervene in a lawsuit filed last month by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Bonsall) that aims to block mail-in ballots from being counted after Election Day.

In a motion filed last week, the nonprofit organization says the longtime San Diego County Republican congressman’s federal lawsuit “could wrongfully disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of California voters.”

Issa alleged in his complaint against the state of California that counting ballots after Election Day is a violation of federal law that provides “an unfair electoral advantage for opponents of Republican congressional incumbents.”

He further stated that he intends to run for reelection in 2026, but “faces a material risk that he may lose future elections due to these unlawful ballots.”

The League of Women Voters of California says in its motion that its mission of boosting voter engagement and preventing voter disenfranchisement would be impeded if Issa is granted an injunction to reject mail-in ballots received after Election Day.

The group also alleges about 80% of Californians vote using a mail ballot each election.

“In his lawsuit, Congressman Issa openly admits that he wants to disenfranchise voters simply because they might not vote for him,” said Julia Gomez, interim managing legal director of the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties, one of several groups representing the League of Women Voters.

“He is putting his own partisan interests above elections that accurately reflect the will of the people, and his arguments are meritless.”

Last month, Issa made headlines after nominating President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his efforts on the 2019 Abraham Accords between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

perior Court and is facing a stipulated 28-year sentence as part of a plea deal. He remains in custody ahead of his sentencing hearing on June 4.

Galeana was working as a campus supervisor at Diegueño Middle School in Encinitas when he was arrested in March 2024 on

suspicion of meeting with a 12-year-old female student and sexually assaulting her at an off-campus location.

He faced nine initial charges, including multiple counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and forcible lewd acts upon a child, furnishing cannabis to a minor, and contributing to the

delinquency of a minor.

He ended up pleading guilty on Tuesday to three accounts of forcible lewd acts upon a child.

After Galeana’s arrest, a lawsuit was filed against him and the San Dieguito Union High School District on behalf of the young girl he allegedly molested, stating

Encinitas nixes bid for alcohol sales at 7-Eleven

Planners voice concerns about

teen exposure

By Samantha Nelson ENCINITAS —

The Encinitas Planning Commission has denied a request from a New Encinitas convenience store to begin selling alcohol, citing zoning restrictions and public safety concerns.

In a 4-0 vote on April 17, the commission rejected the application from 7-Eleven franchisee Sukhwinder Singh Saini, who sought permission to sell alcohol as an accessory land use at the store located at 1988 Village Park Way. Vice Chair Chris Ryan was absent.

For more than 30 years, the 7-Eleven store has not sold alcohol due to its location in a limited local commercial zone, which prohibits such sales under city code. Alcohol sales are also banned in several other zones, including residential areas, office parks, light industrial zones, ecological reserves and parks.

Represented by attorney R. Bruce Evans of Solomon Saltsman & Jamieson, Saini requested an exception based on a 2006 decision in which the commission allowed alcohol sales at a now-closed Rite Aid at 4455 Manchester Avenue, also located in a local commercial zone.

Although alcohol sales are not permitted in that zone, the Rite Aid was approved to sell a limited quantity as an accessory

use, meaning alcohol was not the store's primary business. Saini sought the same designation for the 7-Eleven, proposing a cap of 4% of shelf space and 7% of gross sales for alcohol.

“That’s two cooler doors for this store,” Evans said at the meeting.

Evans added that the franchisee was open to further restrictions, including time limitations on alcohol sales. He argued the request was modest and aligned with public expectations of convenience stores.

“We think this is a very modest request that meets the convenience needs for local customers,” Evans said.

City staff disagreed with the interpretation, noting that the Rite Aid was located in a different zoning district. Staff also emphasized that, under the municipal code, a "convenience store" does not include the sale of alcohol.

Limited commercial zones are designated for shopping centers and other community-serving retail uses, while limited local commercial zones serve smaller neighborhoods such as Village Park. Staff maintained that the zoning distinction is meaningful and that the code was being applied correctly.

Evans argued the zones were too similar to justify a different outcome.

“From our perspective, there should be one set of rules – if the facts are the same and the zoning code identifies alcohol sales are the same for both zones, then the results should be the same interpretation,”

that the district missed multiple “red flags” regarding his behavior toward the girl.

The lawsuit claimed that Galeana sexually assaulted the girl both on and off campus, and that he frequently drove the girl and other students in his car, regularly communicated with students over text messages and social media applications, and often spent time alone with students in secluded areas of the campus. School district officials have maintained that the district “took immediate action to remove him from employment’’ once they learned of the allegations.

coming weeks about what Mexican authorities plan to do to help resolve the crisis.

Local leaders, meanwhile, plan to compile a comprehensive list of projects needed to end the flow of pollution.

Zeldin was also set to visit the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant.

“This visit for EPA is very important for us to make sure that we aren’t just seeing and hearing first hand on the ground in Southern California, but ensuring that the path forward is one of max collaboration and extreme urgency to end a crisis that should have ended a long time ago,’’ he said.

in U.S. waters,’’ Desmond said. “That’s a direct threat to our military readiness and national defense.’’

Desmond has since sent letters to U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanding intervention in the Tijuana River Valley sewage crisis. Desmond urged Hegseth and Rubio to visit the border themselves to see the extent of the problem.

Evans said.

Planning Commission Chair Steve Dalton supported the staff’s position, stating that while the zones may appear similar, they were intentionally established as distinct and should be treated accordingly.

Public input reflected similar concerns. Staff received five comments opposing the request, citing potential increases in traffic, noise and public safety issues. One comment was submitted in support.

“There was never alcohol sold there,” said city planner Francesca Carr, noting that the store’s building predates the city’s incorporation in 1986 but has never held a license to sell alcohol.

The current franchisee acquired the location in October 2021.

Although some commissioners debated the merits of granting an exception based on the Rite Aid precedent, the commission ultimately voted unanimously to uphold the zoning rules.

For Commissioner Susan Sherod, who represents New Encinitas, the decision was clear.

“They knew it when they acquired the business, it wasn’t a big surprise,” she said.

Sherod added that allowing alcohol sales could create issues in an area frequented by teens.

“I didn’t think it was a good idea to make an exception for the store because the area becomes an afterschool hangout spot for youth like my own 14-year-old son,” she said.

“It’s a beautiful day where people should be able to spend an Earth Day not worrying about foul smells in the air, ... public health, beach closures and so much more,’’ Zeldin said. “But that’s the reality that Americans in Southern California have had to live through for way too long. They want action and they’re right.’’

After the meeting, Desmond issued a statement calling the discussion a “productive and vital step forward for the future of Southern California.’’

Desmond said he appreciated the time spent by Zeldin, along with the federal government’s “growing recognition of this crisis ... that has plagued Southern California for far too long.’’

The meeting was held at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot.

Desmond, who is running for Levin’s congressional seat, said he was “assured that real, tangible solutions are on the way,’’ but he is anxious to see tangible results.

In recent years, the U.S.-Mexico border sewage pollution problem has closed beaches and caused serious health issues for some residents. Untreated wastewater from Mexico’s Tijuana River crosses the border into the United States and washes out to sea just south of Imperial Beach.

The bacterial buildup from raw sewage in the wastewater has necessitated the closure of South Bay beaches almost without interruption for three years.

Desmond said the border pollution is not just an environmental issue, but a national security matter.

“When our Navy SEALs are getting sick from toxic waste and being forced to move their training due to contamination

“For decades, the Mexican government has dumped millions of gallons of raw sewage and toxic waste into Southern California, harming our beaches, sickening our Navy SEALs, and threatening our national security,’’ Desmond wrote in his letters. “Enough is enough. American taxpayers should not be on the hook for a mess Mexico continues to cause. Our military readiness is being compromised. Beaches are closed. Residents are getting sick. And Mexico faces no consequence. That must change.’’

In a statement Monday, Levin said he looked forward to Zeldin’s visit, but “what matters most is what happens after he leaves. We need action. And we need to fix this in a bipartisan way once and for all.’’

“We can’t allow Administrator Zeldin or anyone in the Trump administration to talk about solving this crisis while proposing cuts to the very agencies responsible for the solution. (Department of Government Efficiency) and House Republicans have already targeted funding for the (International Boundary Water Commission), which operates the plant.’’

The Transboundary Pollution Coalition for Advocacy and Healing released a statement calling the pollution a public health crisis.

Coalition officials said San Diego, U.S. and Mexican authorities need “to fund and implement immediate, commonsense solutions for a healthy Tijuana River.’’

Members of the groups San Diego 350 and the Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation were on hand for the event, saying in a statement they wanted “to protest the Trump administration’s unprecedented attacks on environmental protections, illegal cuts to funding for critical community and environmental health programs, and threats to the tax exempt status of organizations dedicated to conservation, environmental protection, civil rights and community health.’’

Del Mar undergrounding costs drop slightly

Despite relief, city faces $17M overall shortfall

By Leo Place

DEL

MAR —

Del Mar

leaders are celebrating a decrease in updated costs for the city’s utility undergrounding project, despite encountering numerous challenges during the second phase along Stratford Court.

The undergrounding program, which moves power lines throughout the city underground, is funded by the city’s one-cent sales tax Measure Q, approved by voters in 2016.

These revenues have covered two of the eight planned undergrounding districts, including Tewa Court/10th Street, which was completed in 2023, and District 1A, covering Stratford Court South, expected to be completed in May.

The city has seen construction costs and San Diego Gas & Electric costs skyrocket in recent years, with the total estimated cost for the 1A project increasing from $5.4 million to more than $10 million as of last year, including around $3 million in SDG&E costs.

However, in updated estimates this month, SDG&E informed the city that their costs were around $2 million lower than expected, and confirmed lower forecasts for the upcoming District X1A/Crest Canyon project.

City Manager Ashley Jones said the updated estimate “felt like Christmas,” but that it’s too early for the city to expect similar reduced costs for all future undergrounding phases.

“This is great news, and I would love to be able to apply this holistically, but we want to better understand from SDG&E, what are some savings that are just specific to this district that wouldn’t be applied to all the future districts, and what are the savings that we can assume would apply?” Jones said.

Earlier budgets included costs for cable work that ultimately proved unnecessary, resulting in a decrease in SDG&E costs, according to Del Mar Principal Engineer Martin Boyd. However, future phases may require this work.

This and other adjustments reduce the total anticipated undergrounding cost across all phases from $105 million to approximately $93 million.

The District 1A project will replace 56 utility poles and 7,650 linear feet of overhead cables with underground lines along Stratford Court between 4th and 12th streets, impacting 227 properties and 464 residences.

Crews encountered several issues during the 1A project that impacted construction. This included the discovery of an abandoned utility line while trenching,

confusion regarding permitting, vandalism, and a lack of specificity on city maps that led to “exploratory potholing.”

“The project has encountered numerous challenges and unforeseen field conditions throughout its progress,” said Boyd.

While this led to headaches like additional field task orders, some of which require weeks to approve, Boyd said the city took away several lessons learned for future phases.

Next phases, funding concerns

Despite the positive financial trajectory, Del Mar will still need outside financing for its upcoming phases. District X1A/Crest Canyon is planned to begin in early 2026, followed by District 1B/Stratford Court North.

The city is in the process of applying for debt financing via the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (IBank) to cover at least X1A.

As of February, X1A and 1B are estimated to cost around $23.3 million in total, with $17 million currently unfunded.

District X1A will underground around 12,250 linear feet of overhead power lines, affecting 152 properties and 114 residences. The current cost estimate for this phase is just under $17 million, including pre-construction, construction and utility costs.

The design for X1A is now complete, and the city anticipates being able to issue a construction bid by July.

SDG&E costs for the project are expected to be between $3.3 million and $4.9 million, below the city’s initial estimate of $5.54 million.

Jones said a possible financing agreement would come before the city in the fall, around when they start reviewing bids for X1A. Del Mar leaders have agreed to pause design work on District 1B until they figure out how to finance the project.

At the request of council members, several residents submitted written

comments on how the city should proceed with financing. With undergrounding becoming far more expensive than initially anticipated when Measure Q was adopted,

some residents suggested that the city should pause the project and engage in a broader conversation with the community about revenue sources.

“Legally, you may have

HEALTH INSURANCE

the authority to allocate these funds. But ethically — at $92 million and rising — don’t we owe it to the residents to formally check in?” wrote resident Tate Scott.

Most, however, urged the city to continue with the project on schedule, so that all neighborhoods can enjoy underground utilities.

“How is it fair that cer-

tain neighborhoods have already benefited from undergrounding through Measure Q, while others have not? All neighborhoods should be treated equitably when it comes to community-wide improvements — especially when public safety is involved,” wrote Colleen and Jeff Lambert, referencing the potential fire danger posed by above-ground lines.

Escondido library arranges for move

Services will be limited in month before relocation

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO —

Library services in Escondido will be limited for about a month as staff prepare to relocate the city’s only library to North County Mall during a yearlong renovation of the main facility.

The Escondido Public Library, located at 239 S. Kalmia Street, has served the city’s 150,000 residents since 1980. But after decades of limited funding, the building now suffers from a deteriorating roof, leaky windows, damaged ceilings, cracked floor tiles, outdated HVAC systems and accessibility issues.

Three years ago, the city received a $10 million grant from the California State Library to address infrastructure deficiencies. In 2023, officials hired IDS Group for $747,000 to provide architectural and engineering design services for the renovation.

The upcoming improvements include roof and HVAC system replacements, plumbing and electrical upgrades, restroom renovations, new book stacks and carpeting, a reconfigured first floor with expanded workspaces, and a dedicated space for a bookstore and café.

The city plans to award a construction contract in May, with work scheduled to begin in June 2025 and continue through March 2026. A contingency period will extend through July 2026 to accommodate any potential delays.

Since the work requires vacating the current facility, the entire library will be temporarily relocated. After reviewing three options earlier this year, including a Grand Avenue storefront and space at the California Center for the Arts, the Library Board of Trustees recommended the North County Mall as the best option.

Initially slated for the mall’s former Forever 21 location, the temporary library will instead occu-

py several storefronts near Target on the first floor. The space totals just over 15,000 square feet — about one-third the size of the existing 45,000-squarefoot building.

“Despite being smaller than the current library, efficient use of the space will ensure all collections and materials will be accessible to the public,” said Francisco Vargas, management analyst with the city’s economic development department, during an April 16 council meeting.

The temporary facility will also utilize adjacent mall lounge areas for visitors.

The estimated cost of the move, including rent, utilities, upgraded technology, signage, marketing, and moving services, is $828,000. Because the state grant cannot be used for relocation, the city will cover the expense using general fund dollars.

The current library’s last day open to the public is April 26. Between April 28 and May 26, services will be limited while materials are transported to the mall. During the transition, the Pioneer Room and Mathes Center will remain open for book pickups and special programs.

Staff stated that the library’s literacy program will continue uninterrupted. Officials are also encouraging patrons to visit the libraries at Palomar College’s Escondido Campus, San Marcos, and Rancho Bernardo. Palomar’s library requires visitors to be 18 or older and to register for a new library card.

Once relocated, library hours will shift to 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and it will remain closed on Sundays. The city also plans to coordinate with mall security for handling disruptive visitors, since its usual park rangers do not have jurisdiction on private property.

“I think it’s going to be good for the library and good for the mall,” Mayor Dane White said.

The City Council approved the relocation costs in a 4-0 vote. Councilmember Judy Fitzgerald recused herself, citing campaign contributions from individuals associated with the mall.

Carlsbad HS chasing postseason redemption

Lancers seeking deeper run than in recent years

By Noah Perkins

CARLSBAD — Anchored by senior leadership, energized by talented underclassmen and backed by a deep bullpen of live arms, Carlsbad High’s baseball team has the chemistry and firepower, forged at Chase Field, to rank among San Diego County’s elite.

“Most of our team has grown up together playing Carlsbad Youth Baseball,” said right-handed senior pitcher Weston Thornbury, a Fresno State commit. “Our team dynamics are different than anyone else’s. All the parents in the stands play a major role. We also have a great bond with our coaches. On and off the field, we have tons of fun together.”

Now, with the regular season winding down and high-stakes Coastal League battles on deck, the Lancers are leaning on that tightknit foundation to fuel a deeper run than in years past.

Pitching dominance

Thornbury, 3-0 on the season with a 2.60 earned

run average, is joined in the starting rotation by fellow DI commits Hunter Dawson (Cal State Northridge) and Ian Fisher (UCLA).

“Our pitching staff is really strong,” senior relief pitcher Andrew Langer said.

“Our biggest strength is our intensity how we badly we all want to be on the mound and compete for our guys.”

Sitting at 11-6 over-

all through mid-April, the Lancers have allowed three runs or less in eight games, including back-toback shutouts by Fisher and Thornbury in wins over El Camino and San Ysidro last month.

“Ian Fisher, Weston Thornbury and Hunter Dawson are all arms that we as a team trust to win ballgames,” said Trent Kellas, a

sophomore first baseman off the bench.

Fisher, a command specialist with an upper-80s fastball and a plus-plus change-up, is one of the top pitchers countywide and is especially important to the Lancers, coming off an injury-shortened 2024 campaign.

“I feel I have been off to a good start this season, es-

pecially cutting last season short to injury,” Fisher said. “I’m hoping to keep this pace and stay healthy for the remainder of the season.”

Through his first five appearances, Fisher has racked up 31 strikeouts and allowed only five earned runs.

“[He has] a fierce attitude towards hitters,” Langer said.

Calen Torpey with a crafty sidearm delivery comes out of the pen, along with anchors Langer and junior Benjamin Lopez.

“We have three good relievers who are always there to shut the door,” Fisher said.

In 16 innings of relief work, Lopez has only allowed two earned runs, including blanketing JSerra Catholic in an extra-inning 1-0 victory to end March.

Leaders & rising stars

While pitching has been the foundation, a top-heavy lineup has produced inconsistent hitting. Seven times this season, Lancers’ bats have generated three runs or fewer, and the back-half of the order has struggled to get on base.

Ayden Muñoz, Rob Bering, Liam Stigers and Jett Kenady have been the most reliable Lancers at the plate in tight games.

“(Ayden and Jett) add

the spark to our offense that allows us to score the runs we need to back up our pitchers,” said Fisher.

With a .455 batting average, senior outfielder and Fresno State commit Muñoz sets the pace.

“He’s hit more hardballs than anyone on our team,” fourth-year Carlsbad head coach Scott De Jong told the Coast News in 2024.

Muñoz’s lone home run of the season proved the difference in a 7-6 win over McKinney Boyd.

“Ayden is a leader and a team player that us younger guys look up to,” Kellas said. Bering, a sophomore first baseman, has been a standout, leading the team with 18 hits.

“I couldn’t ask for a better start at the plate,” Bering said. “I have been putting bat on ball.”

In addition to Bering, sophomore outfielder Stigers has added 16 hits of his own.

“We could swing the bats a little better and when we do, we are going to put up some numbers,” Bering said.

Multisport standout

Kenady, a senior shortstop and Cal Berkeley commit, serves as a classic glue guy across three sports —

“The

San Manuel Band gifts $3M for CSUSM center

SAN

MARCOS

—

The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians is supporting Indigenous students at California State University, San Marcos, with a $3 million endowment for the university’s California Indian Cultural and Sovereignty Center.

The California Indian Cultural and Sovereignty Center (CICSC) at CSUSM focuses on preserving the culture and heritage of local Native American tribes through research, events, and empowering and supporting Native American students.

The San Manuel Band, also known as the Yuhaaviatam (People of the Pines), a clan of the Serrano people, is the Indigenous group native to the San Bernardino

— it’s an investment in the preservation and advancement of Indigenous knowledge, leadership and sovereignty,” said CSCIC Director Dr. Joely Proudfit. “With these resources, we can amplify Native voices, deepen our research initiatives and create even more powerful opportunities for our students to engage with tribal nations while pursuing academic excellence.”

The CICSC also operates in conjunction with CSUSM’s American Indian Studies Department.

Mountains.” The federally recognized tribe has been a longtime supporter of the CSCIC, also providing nearly $1 million in funding when it officially opened in

2011.

“The CICSC helps to enhance the educational experience of students within the CICSC community,” said Lynn Valbuena, chair-

woman of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.

“Through advocacy, research, leadership and systemic change, the CICSC fosters an environment

where Native culture, tribal sovereignty and progress can flourish.”

With the additional $3 million endowment, which includes a $1 million match from the Epstein Family Foundation, CICSC will be able to expand cultural preservation programs, strengthen student success, foster community engagement, and support operational excellence, according to the university.

“This endowment represents more than funding

The department offers both a major and minor with academic concentrations in American Indian Studies, American Indian Health and Wellness, Law & Government, and Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Climate Justice.

“We’re committed to building a comprehensive program that promotes both academic rigor and cultural empowerment. Together with our tribal partners, we aim to set new standards for Native American student achievement in higher education,” said university President Ellen Neufeldt.

Escondido checkpoint yields two DUI arrests

By City News Service ESCONDIDO — A checkpoint last weekend resulted in two arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol, and 16 motorists cited for driving without a license, the Escondido Police Department said April 19.

Four people received citations for driving on a suspended license at the checkpoint, which took place on a Friday evening at Centre

City Parkway and Decatur Way. Between 6 p.m. and midnight, 1,555 vehicles went through the checkpoint, with 638 drivers stopped, according to the EPD.

In related news, the EPD said 56 drivers were cited for traffic violations earlier that day “that commonly lead to crashes, termed ‘primary collision factors.’’’

Tropical escape at Lobby Tiki Bar in O’side

When I heard about The Lobby Tiki Bar & Grill opening in Oceanside, my first thought was, why did it take so long for something like this to land in North County? Given our beach culture and ties to the South Pacific, it seemed like a natural fit.

Just a brief history on the tiki bar to provide some background before you make your first visit to this new gem of a joint in coastal Oceanside.

Tiki bars are themed drinking establishments known for elaborate cocktails and aesthetically defined by their tiki culture décor based upon a romanticized version of tropical cultures, most commonly Polynesian. Some incorporate nautical themes or retro elements from the early atomic age. Many, like The Lobby, are attached to hotels.

One of the earliest was called Don the Beachcomber and opened in Hollywood in 1933. Trader Vic’s, another early entry into the theme, opened in 1936 in Oakland. Tiki bars opened all over the country and still draw folks looking for a fun change of pace from their neighborhood watering holes.

The Lobby could be described as a midcentury tropical retreat located on the ground floor of the historic Brick Hotel with retro tiki vibes, innovative cocktails and cuisine that’s equal parts indulgent and approachable.

So of course, we had to start with some of their signature cocktails that come in vessels as entertaining as their names. The Mai Tai was an obvious choice with house rum blend, orange curacao, fresh lime juice, house-made orgeat and rock candy. We had to try the Painkiller as well, with rum, pineapple orange cordial and coconut in another fabulous tiki glass.

Other fun cocktails include the Temple of Doom, Concrete Jungle Bird, Fog Cutter, Cobra Kai and Purple Church. All of these can be ordered at a level one, two or three, with the potency going up with the number. My next trip up to The Lobby will be on the Coaster with some free-flowing drinking and eating planned and not worry about driving home.

The great thing about The Lobby is that the food is as fun and delicious as the drinks. They call it “Island Inspired American Cuisine” and I’d have to say that is spot-on. We started

with the ceviche then tried a dish new to me, the Inari Bombs, consisting of house-marinated poke, coconut haole rice, fresh cucumber and crushed wasabi, all stuffed in an Inari pouch. And if you are like me, you have no idea what Inari is, so I had to inquire. Basically, it is deep-fried tofu skin and it’s something different and yummy to hold all that goodness it’s stuffed with.

The Pineapple Express Tri Tip Skewers was the presentation of the night and just as good to devour. Grilled teriyaki tri-tip skewers that included seasonal vegetables and fresh pineapple are placed on a bed of haole coconut rice and furikake on half of a grilled pineapple. It’s a delicious visual wonderland.

Our other entrée was the almond crusted Ono (aka wahoo) with coconut rice, asparagus, cognac cream sauce and crispy capers. The fish varies depending on the season and what’s fresh, but this was a delightful way to prepare this tasty fish.

The Huli Huli Grilled Half Chicken is another favorite with lacquered huli huli sauce, haole coconut rice and seasonal vegetables. It’s all about the sauce and the grilling on this dish is another solid option on the larger plates section.

Handhelds are represented nicely with kalua pork showing up on both the Hawaiian Cuban Sandwich and the Kalua Tacos. Other sandwiches include Aloha Chicken, Fish and Chips, Tropicana Burger with Kook sauce and crispy or grilled Fish Tacos.

You may remember me talking up Musubi in a

recent column, so I was excited to see that The Lobby Tiki Bar & Grill does Musubi Tuesdays. They feature classic Spam Musubi or a panko-crusted version

if you are seeking some crunch.

If you are looking for something fun to share, try the Pu Pu Platter – perfect for a small group and in-

cludes poke inari bombs, crab rangoon, mozzarella sticks, huli huli chicken wings and coconut shrimp.

If something sweet appeals to top it all off, the Hawaiian Doughnuts are the solution. They are soft and fluffy sweet fried doughnuts filled with homemade miso butterscotch and oh yeah.

And how about going all in on the island vibe with hula dancers? That happens every Friday evening with live hula performances throughout the night with leis provided to guests with reservations.

I had another idea as to how to fully enjoy this

joint, how about a staycation at The Brick Hotel located above the bar? It would be the perfect way to overindulge and just have to take the elevator up to your room. I may explore this option and will report back soon.

Either way, The Lobby Tiki Bar & Grill was a unique and refreshing change when that can be tough to pull off in a crowded restaurant market. It’s definitely worth adding to your list. Find them at 408 Pier View Way, Suite 101, Oceanside or www.lobbytikibar.com.

Arts Alive 2025

101 Artists’ Colony unveils new banner display

By Staff

ENCINITAS — Local artists and community members gathered on April 19 at the Pacific View Arts Center for the unveiling of the 26th annual Arts Alive banner collection, a cherished local tradition that transforms Coast Highway 101 into an open-air gallery each spring.

The event, hosted by the 101 Artists’ Colony, revealed 60 hand-painted banners by area artists, which will be displayed on light poles along Coast Highway from La Costa Avenue to Cardiff Seaside Market from April 24 through July 1.

The unveiling marked the first time the public could view the full collection before it lines the streets.

“This has been actually going since 2000,” said Danny Salzhandler, president of the 101 Artists’ Colony and a founding member of the banner project. “So it’s 26 years we’ve been doing this.”

Though the program missed a few years due to logistical hurdles, Salzhandler said it endured even through the COVID-19 pandemic, when community connection felt more vital than ever.

“We did it through COVID, and we had one of the best years ever, believe it or not,” Salzhandler said.

Among this year’s featured pieces is a whimsical image of a dog swimming with a tennis ball in its mouth, painted by longtime contributor Darlene Katz, and a tribute banner to Trish Dugger, the city’s first poet laureate and a longtime supporter of the arts in Encinitas.

The Arts Alive project has grown steadily since its inception in 2001, when artists painted seven-foot canvases to hang along Pacific Coast Highway, creating what Salzhandler called a

“six-mile outdoor art show.”

The initiative has continued even without a permanent home for the Artists’ Colony since its gallery space was lost in 2007.

“We haven’t had a place since 2007 when they tore down those pink buildings,” Salzhandler previously said.

“Now we don’t have any place to call home except the light pole.”

Following the banner display, the artworks will be taken down in late June, cleaned, and prepared for a live public auction on July 13 at Cardiff Town Center.

Saturday’s unveiling

also featured live music by guitarist Ben Powell and remarks from Peter Norby, the former Downtown Encinitas Mainstreet Association director who first proposed the idea of an artist banner program more than two decades ago.

Salzhandler, now 75,

hinted that this may be his final year leading the banner program.

“I want to make sure this one is a good one,” Salzhandler said. “We’re hoping for good weather and a good turnout, and another year for Arts Alive.”

Sponsors of this year’s program include Hansen Surfboards, Leucadia 101 Mainstreet, Seaside Market, and Surfing Madonna Oceans Project. Silent bidding is open until July 13 and can be placed by phone at 760473-5164 or online at artsaliveencinitas.com.

Get Pickleball-Ready This Summer

make up the gap.

In the coming years, CRC plans to upgrade its campus to better meet clients’ needs and provide a more dignified environment.

The project was initially projected to cost $10.5 million, but is now expected to cost closer to $14.1 million due to inflation of construction costs.

As of February, CRC has raised over $11 million for the project entirely through donations from individuals and private foundations via their One Community, One Heart campaign.

The renovation will remodel the interior and exterior, construct a new food and nutrition center on the adjacent property (currently housing a small multifamily apartment complex) to address food storage issues, provide more space for clients to wait inside, and create more privacy for clients.

Pickleball has quickly become the sport of the summer—and if you’re looking to up your game, now’s the time to prepare. Whether you’re just starting out or aiming to dominate your next match, The Smart Fit Method is your secret weapon for building paddle speed, improving agility, and protecting your body from injury.

The Smart Fit Method is not your average workout. Their program is designed for any age and is especially helpful to maximize your performance in any sport. This sciencebacked fitness program helps you play harder and recover faster, so you can spend more time on the court and less time on the sidelines. Using state-of-the-art fitness technology and personalized training protocols, Smart Fit helps you move better, react faster, and feel stronger— all key ingredients for pickleball success.

Pickleball demands more than quick reflexes; it requires endurance, stability, and full-body coordination. That’s where Smart Fit comes in. Their proven workouts enhance balance and endurance while increasing paddle speed and explosiveness. You’ll notice better footwork and faster lateral movements, giving you a real edge during competitive rallies.

Injuries are all too common in pickleball— especially in the shoulders, elbows, knees, and Achilles tendons. According to a recent article by CNN.com, pickleball, America’s fastest-growing sport, is taking a toll on players’

wrists, legs and shoulders. And, it is especially popular with injury-prone seniors, which is driving the cost burden. Pickleball injuries may cost Americans $377 million in health care costs this year, accounting for 5% to 10% of total unexpected medical costs, UBS analysts estimated in a report.

The Smart Fit Method incorporates strength, mobility, and recovery elements to reduce the risk of these common setbacks. Their expertguided fitness training sessions are tailored to each participant’s needs, helping you stay fit, flexible, and injury-free all summer long.

Connor Ward, one of The Smart Fit Method’s San Diego franchise owners, and pickleball enthusiasts says, “Pickleballputsalotofstress on the joints—especially knees, shoulders, ankles, and the lower back. In order to avoid falls, twists, and strains in these vulnerable areas, our method trains the body to be strong, stable,andquick—withoutthewearandtearof conventional exercise. It’s perfect for players whowanttoimprovetheirgameandstayinjuryfree.” He went on to say, “We’ve seen members gain faster reaction time, better balance, and feel more confident in their abilities and performance—all from just a few efficient, guided workouts each week.

What makes The Smart Fit Method different from traditional gyms? Their program is not about lifting heavy weights or grinding through generic classes. Smart Fit uses cutting-edge AI-driven technology, adaptive resistance training, and low-impact cardio that’s safe on joints while maximizing results. Each session is just 20 minutes and fully guided—so you get a smarter, more efficient workout without the guesswork. This is fitness that fits your body, your schedule, and your lifestyle, especially if you’re over 40 and looking for a program built just for you.

Picture a profit

By Paul Gonzalez

With the economy bouncing around like a rodeo bull on Red Bull, it can be hard for a business owner on Main Street to feel comfortable investing those hardearned dollars into new marketing, equipment, or team members. There’s that fear of “when will the other shoe drop?”

That’s understandable. Small business owners employ the vast majority of American workers, and we must be careful with every cent. But you still need to drive new business!

Rock > Business < Hard place

But don’t despair. Some of the most profitable marketing you can ever do won’t cost you a single dollar. And you can do it day after day after day. And the more you do it and the more consistent you are, the more profitable it becomes. These profits are just sitting there for the taking, and it’ll cost you less than 10 minutes of your time each day.

Sound too good to be true? It isn’t, and it’s been right under your nose this whole time: “Using images in Google Business profile has increased revenue per visitor by 17%.”

Adding images to your Google Business Profile daily can have a massive impact on your profit margins. It’s incredibly simple and only takes a few minutes.

How does this impact your revenue? While we are becoming more trusting of what businesses say online, we still crave verification.

Do you have the best smothered burrito in town? Good pictures help. Are your patients happy? Yep, the pics tell the story. Do you really have parking? Pictures prove it.

Not only will this entice people to stop in and increase their average spend, but these photos can be taken on your smartphone, uploaded to your Google Business Profile and pushed out to the world in less time than it takes to get your morning coffee.

What the heck are you trying to sell?

Ah, springtime! The season of new beginnings. It’s an opportunity to refresh our homes, brains, and wardrobes. And it reminded me of my slightly tired herringbone blazer that needed to be replaced.

Besides, anticipating tariff-induced price increases, I figured it was time. So I hit one of those stores at the mall where they sell suits and such.

Now herringbone is a common fashion term. Anyone in the business can identify it immediately.

Serendipity Books in Chelsea, Michigan, got a hand — or 600 — with a big project on April 14, NBC News reported. Owner Michelle Tuplin was wondering how she was going to move more than 9,000 books to the store’s new, larger location without closing the business for days.

The community came to the rescue, and more than 300 people showed up, forming a human conveyor belt that stretched around the corner and into the new location. “It was just a joyful experience,” said volunteer Donna Zak. In less than two hours, the entire inventory had been transferred -- all in alphabetical order. “It was overwhelming,” Tuplin said. The new store will open on April 26 to celebrate Independent Bookstore Day. [NBC News, 4/15/2025]

The Passing Parade

“Star Wars” fans, listen up! If you’re free on May 4, you can hop over to The Little Vegas Chapel in Nevada and tie the knot with your knight or princess. United Press International reported that the chapel is offering two special packages for the special date: “Yoda One for Me” and “Love Star.”

Both feature an officiant dressed as either Princess Leia or Darth Vader, “Star Wars” music, professional photography and video and a special themed wedding certificate. You may want to stop at the blackjack table first, though -- the packages cost $600 and $860. May the Fourth Be With You. [UPI, 4/14/2025]

Weird in the Wild

Well, almost wild. At the San Diego Zoo on April 14, the animals reacted to the magnitude 5.2 earthquake, too, United Press International reported. Video from the elephant enclosure showed the pachyderms’ behavior even before the shaking started; the adults ran to form a circle, facing

Alarming Headline

On April 13, after a United Airlines flight took off from Denver International Airport, the pilot had to make an emergency landing because of a fire in one of the engines, ABC News reported.

After being told the apparent cause, the pilot responded, “Rabbit through the number 2, that’ll do it.” A bunny -- NOT the Easter bunny -- had been sucked into the engine. Passenger Scott Wolff said he experienced “a loud bang, and a significant vibration in the plane.

Every few moments (as the plane was climbing) there was a backfire coming from the engine, a giant fireball behind it.” Passengers were loaded onto a different aircraft and proceeded to Edmonton, Alberta. Rabbit strikes are fairly rare, experts say. [ABC News, 4/16/2025]

Unclear on the Concept

Visitors to Abbey Road in St. John’s Wood in England are voicing their disappointment on Tripadvisor, Your Local Guardian reported.

The street, made famous by the eponymous Beatles album, is a favorite spot for a photo op, but some tourists were expecting ... more. “Disappointed doesn’t cover it ... My disappointment in not finding street sellers, either side of the road, selling cheap T-shirts and merchandise was a surprise,” one commented.

Another said, “I am a massive Beatles fan, but there is really nothing to see here. It’s just an ordinary zebra crossing.” It’s no Penny Lane, that’s for sure. [Your Local Guardian, 4/4/2025]

claim the time I’d just wasted, I left … knowing I’d never return.

In 1981, my first day with a new company started with being introduced to my co-workers. Then I was handed my new employer’s marketing materials with instructions to learn about what they did so I could speak knowledgeably about the firm.

By doing my research, learning from my associates and listening carefully to client questions and concerns, I made myself into a valuable resource.

April 11 for the Boot Tan Fest, a three-day event that includes the “naked lap,” The Denver Post reported. The festival started four years ago with just a few friends but has grown to include live music and women-owned brands peddling their wares. Participants ranged in age from Gen Z to retirement and stripped down to celebrate women’s bodies. For instance, Lisa Harper of Dillon wrote on her stomach “3 weeks postpartum.” “This is what’s real, having your baby pooch and still skiing,” she said. Another skier gushed, “Here you belong; everyone belongs.”

Sweet Revenge

Joshua Lowe, 19, was sentenced to eight months in prison on April 14 for a stunt he pulled in January 2024, NBC News reported. Lowe, who was living with his girlfriend’s family, became angry that they went on a cruise and left him behind to care for the pets. So he sent an email to Carnival Corp. after the cruise had departed, warning of a bomb on board. Prosecutors said the ship’s crew had to check more than 1,000 rooms. FBI agents traced the email to Lowe, who apologized to the judge.

July camp offers free academic & social prep for incoming 6th-graders

The leap from elementary school to middle school can be daunting—but at Pacific View Charter School we believe it doesn’t have to be. That’s why this July, we’re inviting incoming 6th graders to join us for Getting Ready for Middle School Camp, a week-long summer camp program packed with academic adventures, social-emotional growth, and hands-on fun.

The camp is more than just a warm-up to middle school—it’s a confidence-building experience designed to help students thrive in new environments, form lasting friendships, and strengthen essential skills before school begins.

Hosted on our Oceanside campus, camp is free for all current 5th graders transitioning to middle school, with snacks and lunch provided daily. Students will attend Monday through Friday, from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM, for a carefully curated blend of engaging lessons, creative projects, and spirited games.

Each day at camp highlights a unique theme rooted in PVC’s Coyote Code - interacting respectfully, making healthy choices,

perseverance, and academic commitment. From the first Coyote Conference icebreaker to the final “Hidden Talents” showcase, students will discover they have what it takes to succeed in middle school.

The Camp’s academic rotation includes math, reading, art, STEM, and social studies, taught by credentialed teachers through exciting, grade-appropriate activities. Every subject is integrated with social-emotional learning and character development. And it wouldn’t be summer camp without some serious fun. Coyote Code Charades, Friendship Bingo, obstacle courses, and team-building story challenges round out the days. Students will laugh, collaborate, and leave each day a little more ready for the road ahead.

TK8 Program Coordinator Geoff Weeks puts it this way “we want all students to walk into 6th grade knowing how to speak up, make friends, and tackle tough assignments. This camp will give them a head start—not just academically, but socially and emotionally.”

Space is limited, so we encourage families to sign up early at www.pacificview. org or call 760-757-0161. Whether your child is nervous about 6th grade, excited to make new friends, or just curious about what middle school is like, this camp offers the perfect blend of structure, encouragement, and summer fun.

At Pacific View, we believe the best way to start middle school is to walk in prepared, connected, and confident. Our camp is the first step toward making that happen. In addition to the camp, Pacific View Charter School operates year round serving grades TK-12.

Pacific View Charter School is a public, non-profit, tuition free charter school focused on personalized learning catered to students’ individualized needs. The students, staff, teachers, and parents work together to foster a supportive community to meet the needs of all students.
