City Manager Sean McGlynn declared a local emergency on Dec. 15 after tests showed elevated bacteria levels in the creek near Harmony Grove, where the encampment, known as “The Jungle,” has grown over the past year.
Assistant City Manager Chris McKinney reported that emergency service calls in the creekbed area nearly tripled in the past year, rising from 24 to 64 calls.
Water quality testing revealed Coliform bacteria levels two to three times above acceptable standards for human contact and Enterococcus bacteria levels seven to 14 times higher than safe levels. At one location near the encampment, Enterococcus levels were found to be 23 times the acceptable standard.
“This has nothing to do with the drinking water supply,” McKinney clarified.

VISTA — Developers of certain single-family homes in Vista will no longer need to provide an enclosed garage to meet city parking requirements as rising costs continue to make construction more difficult.
By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS
— The Encinitas City Council rejected an appeal of the Planning Commission’s approval of a 17-unit residential subdivision on Bella Vista Drive, where the developer utilized density bonus provisions to increase the number of allowable units.
The Dec. 11 meeting included nearly three hours of discussion involving council members, city staff, the appellants, the applicant and members of the public.
Ultimately, the appeal was denied, as the appellants’ nine points of contention failed to meet the criteria necessary to overturn the Planning Commission’s decision.
Newly elected Mayor Bruce Ehlers, who ran on a platform of pushing back against state housing mandates such as the density bonus policy, showed sympathy for the appellants’ concerns regarding overdevelopment, perceived overcrowding and the impact of state-imposed housing policies on local control.
“We’re at risk of a lawsuit either way, and we want to do what’s right by both parties and give both parties their due process,” Ehlers said during the meeting. “I’m going to, begrudgingly, vote to deny the appeal.”
The appeal, filed by United Citizens for the Responsible Development of Bella Vista, raised concerns about environmental impacts, density calculations, biological and cultural resources, fire safety, drainage and traffic. City staff and Ehlers countered these claims, asserting that the environmental review fully evaluated all phases of development, including future homes and adhered to CEQA requirements.
City staff also defended using gross acreage for density calculations, consistent with state law and outlined mitigation measures
to preserve sensitive habitat, monitor for cultural resources during grading, and reduce wildfire risks with fire-resistant designs.
Staff further addressed concerns about drainage and traffic, noting that onsite stormwater systems would prevent runoff issues and that traffic data was collected during regular peak periods, showing minimal impact.
The appellant also suggested the project’s Coastal Development Permit might be appealable to the California Coastal Commission, but staff clarified that the permit does not fall under the appeal jurisdiction of the Coastal Commission.
The project site, a 10-acre coastal mesa surrounded by single-family homes and open spaces near Batiquitos Lagoon, is zoned Rural Residential 1, typically allowing one unit per developable acre.
The subdivision of 15 market-rate homes and two affordable units will be concentrated on roughly 6 acres of flat, previously disturbed
City code previously required all new single-home developments to include a garage with two covered, enclosed parking spaces and two guest spaces that could be open-air or covered.
However, some developers seeking to cut costs by developing modular and manufactured homes noted that the enclosed garage requirement poses financial barriers. According to city staff, adding a garage can account for 25% of total construction costs for a single-family home.
The City Council agreed Dec. 10 to remove the garage requirements for homes with a total area of 1,600 square feet or less and instead permit developers to choose between two enclosed garage spaces, covered spaces or open spaces. Two separate guest spaces will still be required.
Bill Cavanaugh, who is currently building a home for his family in Vista, thanked the council for making this change.
“As a real estate developer and contractor and soon-to-be resident in Vista … I think this is a great thing. This really shows Vista’s leading the way at helping build affordable housing for people that
want to get into single-family residences, and not have the added burden of the additional cost of a garage, which ends up being a storage facility anyways,” Cavanaugh said.
Construction material costs have skyrocketed in recent years, with the price for some materials growing by more than 70% between 2020 and 2024, according to the National Association of Home Builders. Higher construction costs have also been shown to correlate directly with higher housing costs for buyers and renters.
Councilmember Corinna Contreras said the amendment would promote the development of more affordable housing opportunities and wondered whether the city could revisit the requirement for two guest spots.
“I think this is a step in the right direction, and I’m wondering if there’s more to be done to make housing
more affordable,” Contreras said.
Community Development Director Joe Vacca said parking is not required for certain kinds of housing, such as accessory dwelling units if they are within a certain distance of public transit. However, for larger homes, it becomes important to provide more off-street parking.
“We want to make sure we have parking so that streets don’t become cluttered,” Vacca said.
The Vista Planning Commission also approved the code amendment before it went to the council, with residents speaking in favor of the change at both meetings.
Most other cities require a garage for single-family home construction, making Vista an innovator in this area, city staff said. Improving housing construction affordability is also consistent with city Housing Element policies.

With the presidential election behind us and the next one still far off, this may be a good time to give the Electoral College a dispassionate look.
In the United States, the popular vote doesn’t decide who will be president, the Electoral College does. The number of electors from each state is not determined by its population, but by the size of its congressional delegation. As each state has two senators, a voter in a less populous state has more power in selecting the president than a voter in a more populous state.
For example, California, with a population of about 40,000,000, has 52 congressmen, while Wyoming, with a population of less than 600,000, has one. But both have two senators, which means that California gets 54 electors and Wyoming gets three. So, in presidential elections, a Wyoming voter counts about the same as 3.7 California voters. Do the math.
Unsurprisingly, many Californians would like to see the Electoral College abolished.
It could happen, of course, but the same people who created the Electoral College wrote the rules for abolishing it. Simply put, two-thirds of each house of Congress and three-quarters of all the state legislatures would have to agree to the change. In other words, the less populous states would have to vote to reduce their own power.
That seems unlikely. So how did we get here? Before there was the United States of America, there were just the states. Think of them as being single.
not working well, so delegates from the states met to discuss ways to make a closer union that would be mutually beneficial.
The single most divisive issue at that meeting, soon to be called the Constitutional Convention, was how to apportion power among the states. Think of it as the prenuptial meeting.
It’s not unusual for prospective spouses to be wary of marriage. Some get cold feet. Things soon got a little heated.
On June 30, 1787, Gunning Bedford Jr., representing Delaware, made it clear that the less populous states were not going to be bullied into accepting a central government in which representation was strictly proportional to population, saying:
“Will it be said that an inequality of power will not result from an inequality of votes? Give the opportunity, and ambition will not fail to abuse it. The whole History of mankind proves it ….The Large States dare not dissolve the Confederation. If they do, the small ones will find some foreign ally of more honor and good faith who will take them by the hand and do them justice.”
Mr. Bedford went on to clarify that he was not making a threat. In context, the threat that he was not making might have been inviting, say, the British to help Delaware defend itself against, say, Pennsylvania. As the Revolutionary War had just ended, this was provocative language.
Mr. Bedford’s speech marked a turning point. After things cooled down, the large states gave up their demand for strict proportionality and agreed to a series of compromises that took into account the views of the small states.
First, if the Electoral College had not been created, the small states probably would have left the big states standing at the altar. The country as we know it would not exist.
Second, when Californians applied for statehood, they knew all about the Electoral College, and agreed to the Constitution. They said, “I do.”
Third, the population of California in 1850 was around 93,000. Of the 31 states, only two had fewer people, and yet both California and New York, with its more than 3,000,000 people, were allotted two United States Senators. Few Californians were kvetching then. It was a good deal.
Fourth, California today is the richest, most populous, and most powerful of the fifty states. For us to complain now about the terms of the prenuptial agreement or, worse, to threaten to change its terms against the wishes of the less powerful states would be unbecoming. Not without justification, such behavior could be denounced as bullying and controlling. In this real-world telenovela, we would be casting ourselves in the role of the abusive spouse.
Fifth, Mr. Bedford’s warning that the large states might abuse their power over the small states may be even more relevant today. After all, in the early days of our Republic, the states had most of the power, the federal government very little. Today, the federal government even regulates the diameter of macaroni.
Sixth, I try to keep in mind that the candidate who wins the popular vote isn’t always the best choice. I find this thought comforting.
In 1777, the states signed the Articles of Confederation and became the United States of America. The Articles were very weak, however, with no president, no judiciary, and no power to tax. You could say the states were then going steady, or even engaged, but not yet married.
By 1787, it was widely agreed that the Articles were
One of those compromises was the disproportionate Electoral College. Another was the high bar set for Amendments.
And so, on June 21, 1788, the states ratified the Constitution. That, of course, was the wedding day.
So here we are. What is to be done? As a Californian, I find it helpful to keep the following points in mind.
So, what should we do about the Electoral College? I suggest we get used to it.
Or we could ask for a divorce. In this metaphor, that would be the act of secession. Several states tried it in 1861. The matter was settled out of court.
nyone who believes the last few years’ spate of ultra-destructive wildfires has diminished the clout of California’s biggest privately owned electric companies will now have to accept reality: They are as powerful as ever, if not more so.
Consider the latest achievements of Pacific Gas & Electric Co., the nation’s largest power provider and always a pace-setter for other companies like Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric.
Within the space of 14 days last fall, PG&E, with a little help from its colleague utilities, killed a legislative bill designed to provide oversight of its spending on wildfire mitigation, and then won a $944 million rate increase from the state’s Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to “reimburse” it for storm damage expenses and its work to lessen the chances of starting more fires.
That’s right, no one really knows exactly what PG&E or the other big monopoly utilities are doing to prevent more fires like the ones that almost pushed them into bankruptcy three years ago. But PG&E still will get almost $1 billion from its customers for whatever it is doing, or almost $6 per month from all of its more than 5.6 million customers, both residential and commercial.
More increases are coming, too. The latest PG&E increase comes atop three earlier ones this year. The other big generating firms have not gotten as many recent increases, but the precedent has now been set.
Meanwhile, by law, no utility is supposed to get a nickel from the PUC without strong evidence of how it will be spent, what the split will be between profits and funding of needed operations.
The Legislature’s killing the accountability bill, known as SB 1003, on the last day of its regular 2024 session ensures that PG&E and its cousins will be back for more “reimbursements” for expenses they have not detailed, at least until something like SB 1003 finally gets passed.
It’s a further example of the power of electric companies in Sacramento, as their lobbyists continue beating back any effort to rein in utility clout.
Other examples in recent years include creation of the $13 billion “Wildfire Mitigation Fund,” designed to reimburse the companies for damages assessed to them after fires they cause, and PG&E’s escape from the threat of a breakup in the wake of several multibillion-dollar fires it caused over the last seven years.
elias
Said The Utility Reform Network, a group that sometimes has had success in cutting down utility rate increases, “Voters have a right to be upset that elected officials put the record-breaking profits of PG&E shareholders over millions of residents struggling to pay their record-breaking utility bills. It’s unacceptable.” Meanwhile, PG&E continues trying to justify selling off a stake in its power-generating business
Utilities tout even the tiniest cost reduction to customers, but then slam them with rate increases amounting to far more.
to the global investment firm KKR, part of the company’s plan to transfer its non-nuclear power generating functions to a new subsidiary called Pacific Generation.
That new outfit — merely PG&E operating under a different name — is supposed to have a better credit rating than the parent company, which could save consumers $100 million over the next 20 years — or about a trivial 6 cents per month per customer. If the PUC greenlights this shift, PG&E would have even more bureaucracy standing between customers and its power sources from dams to windmills to solar farms and old-fashioned power plants. That could enable it to obfuscate when it causes fires and consumer groups attempt to assess responsibility for them.
If PG&E gets away with this kind of machination, be certain other utilities will follow. It’s just another example of how they and the PUC tout even the tiniest cost reduction to customers, but then regularly slam them with multiple rate increases amounting to far more. This pattern will not end until there is some sort of accountability for the utilities and the PUC, which have acted with impunity in recent months, while their customers were distracted by the presidential election, campus unrest and international conflicts.

ENCINITAS — In a ceremonial changing of the guard on Dec. 10, newly elected city leaders took oaths of office and outgoing representatives delivered farewell remarks before stepping down from the dias for the final time.
During the meeting, Mayor-elect Bruce Ehlers briefly outlined his vision for Encinitas, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the city’s small beach-town character and clean coastal environment.
Ehlers, a former District 4 representative, said
his leadership would prioritize collaboration and nonpartisanship, focusing on what is best for Encinitas.
“This is not a left or a right thing … this is about Encinitas,” he said, reiterating his commitment to centering the city’s needs over political affiliations.
During the meeting, Ehlers also nominated Councilmember Joy Lyndes for the position of deputy mayor, highlighting her extensive experience and tenure on the council as key qualifications for the role.
Newly elected council members Luke Shaffer (District 1) and Jim O’Hara (District 2) supported Ehlers’ recommendation, which led to Lyndes’ unanimous appointment to the role.
Outgoing Mayor Tony Kranz, Councilmember Kelly Hinze and outgoing Deputy Mayor Allison Blackwell were recognized by community members, local leaders and organizations for their service to the city.
While most reflections highlighted their achievements in infrastructure improvements, affordable housing initiatives and environmental preservation, others criticized the former leaders’ approaches to local
governance.
Ehlers, a former planning chairman, emphasized the importance of thoughtful leadership and community engagement. During his campaign, Ehlers centered his message on reinforcing local control over development decisions and opposing state-imposed housing policies he deemed excessive and impractical.
“My number one vision, in a nutshell, is maintaining our small beach-town ambiance and clean coastal environment,” Ehlers said. “And that, to me, encapsulates it.”
Running on a platform that echoed similar messaging, Shaffer, a lifelong Encinitas resident, military veteran and high school coach, expressed his commitment
to representing the city’s interests.
“Everything I decide and will do is in the best interest of Encinitas,” he said. “Progression is a part of our future, but I’m hopeful that it is Encinitas that can grow it in the way we see fit.”
O’Hara, owner of the event management company Race San Diego LLC., echoed a similar sentiment, highlighting the community as the city’s greatest asset.
“Everytime someone comes up to me and says something about congratulations for running, or congratulations for winning the election, I think about all of the weight that it carries with it and the burden,” O’Hara said. “And I want you to know that that is

The Encinitas City Council denied a proposal from the San Diego Association of Governments on Dec. 10 to utilize the city-owned open space at Surfer’s Point as a construction access point for a railroad double-tracking project across Batiquitos Lagoon.
The council’s discussion focused heavily on SANDAG’s request, including installing a permanent access road through the blufftop property for the Batiquitos Lagoon Double Tracking Project.
Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes expressed strong opposition, citing concerns about preserving sensitive habitat and long-term land use on the recently purchased plot.
“We spent $6 million on this property,” Lyndes said. “And the very first thing we do with it is obligate it for four years of impacts during construction, but then also permanently bisect it for another use that doesn’t benefit the city?”
In August, the city acquired two parcels located at the northeast corner of Coast Highway 101 and La Costa Avenue, known as Surfer’s Point, for $6.3 million.
Other council members and public speakers echoed concerns about the proposal’s impact on habitat restoration, public access to the open space, and potential noise and traffic disruptions.
The $166 million double-tracking project, part of SANDAG’s broader effort to improve the 60mile North Coast Corridor, involves replacing a 1946
single-track wooden trestle bridge with a modern double-track concrete bridge. The double tracking will enable northbound and southbound trains to pass simultaneously and passenger trains to pass slower freight trains on the second track.
The upgrade aims to enhance rail efficiency, reduce traffic congestion and restore habitats along the LOSSAN rail corridor.
The project, which began in August and is expected to conclude in 2028, includes significant environmental mitigation efforts, such as restoring a least tern nesting site and replenishing Ponto Beach with up to 50,000 cubic yards of beach-quality sand.
However, construction is limited during the bird nesting season, from April 15 to Aug. 31, a restriction doubling the project timeline from two to four years.
To expedite construction and minimize traffic, SANDAG proposed using La Costa Avenue and Carlsbad Boulevard for construction access. The North County Transit District also requested a permanent access easement across the city-owned property for long-term maintenance.
The council voted 4-0 to deny the permanent access request but approved extended work hours to help SANDAG meet project deadlines.
David Cortez, SANDAG’s director of engineering and construction, acknowledged the challenges posed by the construction.
“We’ll work with the city to be good neighbors,” Cortez said.
By Walker Armstrong CARLSBAD — The
San Diego County Board of Supervisors postponed a decision Wednesday on a proposed lease agreement with American Airlines at McClellan-Palomar Airport following a motion citing the absence of Supervisor Joel Anderson, who was out sick.
The board’s decision to delay came amidst heated public feedback and formal objections to the deal from residents and the city of Carlsbad, revealing sharp divisions over the proposal.
In July, The Coast News reported that American Airlines plans to launch up to two daily flights between Phoenix Sky Harbor and McClellan-Palomar Airport beginning Feb. 13, 2025, using Embraer E175 aircraft operated by its subsidiary, Envoy Air.

SAN MARCOS — Deputies recovered a loaded ghost gun, narcotics and marijuana products during a traffic stop last week in San Marcos, authorities said. The stop occurred just before 5 p.m. on Dec. 11 on North Las Posas Road near West Borden Road. Inside the vehicle, deputies found two adult males, identified as Christian Verduzco, 19, and Jonathan Ramirez, 20, along with two juvenile females.
Deputies observed the teens in possession of marijuana products, and Verduzco, the driver, admitted there was a firearm in the back seat near the juveniles, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office. A search of the vehicle uncovered a loaded, privately manufactured firearm, commonly referred to as a ghost gun, classified as an illegal short-barreled rifle. Ghost guns lack serial numbers, making them difficult to trace and hindering law enforcement investigations.
The county has not yet approved a lease agreement for the airline, citing concerns over the airport’s current design, which primarily accommodates smaller aircraft. The decision to delay the vote comes just weeks after the Carlsbad City Council strengthened its regulatory authority over land use and potential expansion at the airport in November.
Specifically, the council voted to prevent unauthorized airport expansions, limit development to existing boundaries as a general aviation facility, codify state definitions of “airport” and “airport expansion,” and require conditional use
permits for any new or expanded airport-related activities.
McClellan-Palomar Airport is currently served by charter operators JSX Air and Advanced Air, which fly smaller planes, including the Embraer E145 and Dornier Do328-300, to destinations such as Las Vegas, Mammoth Lakes and Scottsdale.
American Airlines also faces challenges in complying with the airport’s Voluntary Noise Abatement Program, which prohibits flights before 7 a.m. The carrier has proposed a 6:15 a.m. departure to connect passengers to its Phoenix hub, raising additional concerns among local officials.
Dahvia Lynch, the county’s deputy chief administrative officer, has recommended the board approve a two-year lease for American Airlines and waive $351,428 in partial fees for the first year of operations to facilitate the new service.
Carlsbad officials
raised concerns in a Dec. 10 letter addressed to the Board of Supervisors, with Mayor Keith Blackburn outlining objections to the proposed lease and changes to Board Policy F-44, which governs airport operations.
Blackburn argued that the lease and policy changes could undermine the city’s authority over airport-related land use decisions.
“We are concerned that American Airlines’ plans to provide service at McClellan-Palomar Airport irrecoverably commits the County to implementing larger runway protection zones or safety areas as compared with the current B-II classification,” Blackburn wrote.
The letter also highlighted concerns about using Embraer 175 aircraft, which exceed the airport’s B-II operational classification, and early-morning flight schedules that conflict with the airport’s Voluntary Noise Abatement Procedures (VNAP).
“Ensuring compliance with the VNAP would demonstrate the County’s
Deputies also found cocaine, U.S. currency, and hundreds of marijuana vape products in the vehicle. Verduzco was arrested on charges including weapons violations, narcotics violations, and child endangerment and was booked into the Vista Detention Facility. Ramirez was cited and released for misdemeanor possession of marijuana for sale.
The two juveniles were released to their parents.

Pedestrian hit, killed by train in O’side
By City News Service
OCEANSIDE — A pedestrian was fatally struck by a train on Dec. 15 in Oceanside.
The collision occurred around 12:30 p.m. on Dec. 15 when a person was struck on a stretch of railroad track by an Amtrak train near Mission Avenue and North Cleveland Street, according to the Oceanside Police Department.
The victim died at the scene shortly after first responders arrived, police said.
A traffic advisory was issued due to the closure at Mission Avenue and was expected to remain in effect for at least an hour. Railway traffic was being permitted to pass through the area, although passengers could still experience delays.
The victim’s identity was not immediately available, and the circumstances surrounding the collision were unclear.

— Following increasing reports from residents in New Jersey and other East Coast cities about mysterious large drones in the skies at night, reports have circulated in recent days from residents in Temecula who say they’re seeing similar unexplained flying objects hovering over the desert city.
There’s no word on who is flying them or why, and there is no indication of any illegal activity. But given the attention generated by the East Coast drone sightings, the reports have some
residents on edge.
One person in Temecula posted a video on TikTok earlier this week, showing several illuminated drones hovering over the area.
“There’s so many. There’s like 10. And they’re all over the city,” the person can be heard saying on the video.
Officials at Camp Pendleton, which is in northern San Diego County, issued a statement this week saying it is aware of residents reporting drone flights, but none of the drones are associated with the military base.
By City News Service REGION — Twin announcements this week could bring welcome relief to the ongoing pollution crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border in the Tijuana River Valley.
Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday announced the beginning of a state-funded pilot project featuring floating trash booms made partially from recycled material.
The $4.7 million project, financed by California’s Water Resources Control Board and managed by the nonprofit Rural Community Assistance Corporation, is intended to intercept and collect large items of trash such as tires and appliances dumped into the river.
“California is working with our local and federal partners to address the ongoing Tijuana River crisis,’’ Newsom said. “This project to stop trash from clogging the river is part of an all-ofthe-above approach we’re taking to help protect Tijuana River valley communities.’’
The plastic and steel trash booms — scheduled to be deployed for the next two storm seasons — were deployed on Nov. 14, but Tuesday was the first day they began collecting debris.
Newsom visited the border Dec. 5 for an unrelat-

the victim, the incident is being classified as a felony hit-and-run, Steinbroner said.
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco suggested on a local radio show this week that Southern California Edison could be flying drones in the area. The utility, however, while acknowledging that it does use drones to inspect its infrastructure, insisted it does not fly them at night.
Responding to increased numbers of reports of drone activity, the Federal Aviation Administration even issued a statement Friday offering guidelines for people who fly the devices.
“More and more people are using drones, which
means more people are noticing them in the sky,” according to the FAA statement.
The agency noted that it investigates “all reports of unsafe operations” of drones. “However, you don’t need specific authorization from the FAA to fly drones in most locations.”
Any drone weighing more than a half-pound must be registered with the FAA, and it must have a registration number displayed on the device. People who fly drones at night must have a drone pilot certificate and be equipped
with lights.
However, in general, flying a drone at altitudes less than 400 feet is generally permitted as long as it is not within controlled airspace around an airport or over military bases or national security facilities.
“You can land a drone anywhere provided the landing area is safe and is not prohibited by local, state or federal laws,” according to the FAA.
The information provides little comfort to the people spotting the drones in Temecula who just want answers about who is re-
sponsible for them.
“I don’t think it’s regular off-the-shelf drones that (are being) flown around here,” resident Bryan Dirkes told Fox LA. “Based on what we saw, it was a pretty good size, almost the size of a small vehicle or car.”
Federal officials issued a statement Thursday in response to the drone activity reported in the New Jersey area, saying there is “no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus.”

The California Coastal Commission on Dec. 12 unanimously upheld the city’s approval of 42 single-family homes on a 14-acre inland bluff overlooking Batiquitos Lagoon, denying a local group’s appeal over potential negative environmental impacts.
The appeal, filed by the Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation, contested The Cove housing project based on claims that pesticide-contaminated soil and erosion from a January storm posed risks to water quality and bluff stability.
Foundation, after monitoring the lagoon’s water quality, expressed concerns about pesticide contamination detected earlier this year.
“In February, we did samples again on a two-year cycle… and we found OCPs in the same locations where we had E. coli and Enterococcus bacteria before,” said David Hill, a volunteer with the organization. “There is no other source of these OCPs. We need further analysis of this great environmental impact for Batiquitos Lagoon.”
whelmed the site’s stormwater controls and deposited sediment on neighboring properties.
“When the rains hit, they didn’t have sufficient BMPs [Best Management Practices] to stop it,” she said. “The water just poured through, hit this brick wall, went over the wall, and covered her driveway and front lawn, which is right next to the lagoon.”
“The substantial grading for the project has now been completed … and the way the land was during the intermediate condition has since been changed to flow inward into two silting basins,” Deacon said. Despite these assurances, some commissioners voiced concerns about the long-term stability of erosion controls and public access trails required for the development.
ed project at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, but also visited both sides of the border this year to see how work on the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant was unfolding.
Also on Tuesday, Sen. Alex Padilla, D-California, announced he and the San Diego congressional delegation have secured $250 million in the “Further Continuing Appropriations and Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2025’’ for the Tijuana River pollution.
The funding is slated to go to the International Boundary and Water Commission to fully fund the $610 million requested for wastewater treatment plant repairs and expansion.
More than 100 billion gallons of sewage, trash and contaminated stormwater have flowed across the border and out to sea in the past five years, causing numerous health concerns and years of beach closures. Last year, more than 44 billion gallons of effluvia crossed the international border in the Tijuana River Valley.
Padilla and the San Diego congressional delegation secured $103 million in additional funding for the IBWC in the bipartisan FY 2024 appropriations package earlier this year.
In turn, the state agency determined these concerns were largely unrelated to the project, which only involved the construction of the homes and associated landscaping and trails.
“The appellant’s contentions are outside the scope of the approved project in question, which is limited to the construction of the homes,” said Stephanie Leach of the commission’s San Diego Coast district office.
Additionally, the agency noted that many of the group’s contamination concerns had already been addressed through previous permits. Leach said the encapsulation of pesticide-impacted soils was completed before the January storm and was deemed adequate by multiple regulatory agencies, including the California Department of Toxic Substances Control and the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board.
“Commission water quality staff’s previous review verified that the pesticides are not capable of impacting groundwater or, by extension, the lagoon,” Leach said.
Dolores Welty, a resident near the project site, highlighted the erosion damage caused by the storm, which she said over-
Toll Brothers representative Greg Deacon assured the Coastal Commission that site conditions had significantly improved since the storm, adding the company had worked with affected neighbors to address their concerns.
“I just have a concern now that these issues around erosion are being brought up, that the area … that the trail is in, I’m hoping that that is adequate for the protection of that trail in the long term,” one commissioner said.

Morgan Gallagher, an attorney representing project developer Toll Brothers, supported the Commission staff’s findings, adding that the January storm’s erosion impacts were addressed separately under an emergency coastal development permit.
“The remediation concluded, and all of the pesticide-impacted soil was encapsulated between seven and eleven feet below finished grade,” Gallagher said.
The Batiquitos Lagoon
By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO —
A nearly vacant office building that once housed medical practices near the former site of Palomar Hospital will be converted into a 21-unit residential apartment complex
The 19,000-square-foot building, located on a 0.69acre site at 240 S. Hickory Street, primarily served low-intensity medical offices while the hospital was nearby.
Darshan Patel owns the building and has been planning the conversion for several years. He purchased the property in 2020, intending to turn it into apartments, but kept it as a medical office while it remained fully leased.
After Palomar Hospital relocated across town and the COVID-19 pandemic increased remote work, tenants in the building dwindled. Patel resumed plans to convert the property from commercial to residential.
“We’re at 95% vacancy – only 5% of it is being used by one tenant,” Patel told the Escondido City Council on Dec. 4.
The building is surrounded by single-family and multifamily homes, which Patel said made the conversion a logical choice.
To exceed the site’s
20-unit maximum, Patel invoked the state’s density bonus law by adding two deed-restricted low-income units. The law allows developers to exceed density limits and offers concessions to reduce or eliminate specific development standards to save costs.
Patel used the concession to eliminate a requirement to resurface the alleyway.
The law also permits waivers to remove require-
ments that prevent achieving the proposed density. Patel used waivers to forgo the 21 covered parking space requirement, eliminate open space (reducing it to zero from the required 6,600 square feet), and omit a landscaped island between car stalls.
After speaking with prospective residents, Patel prioritized parking over open space, noting that many units would likely house residents with more
than one car.
“We wanted to provide the parking for them more than anything,” Patel said. “We found open space would be tight.”
Although only two units will be deed-restricted as affordable housing, Patel said the conversion of an existing building, rather than constructing a new one, will make the overall rents more reasonable.
Patel estimated rent for one-bedroom apart-

City staff had initially recommended denying the project, citing inconsistencies with the General Plan due to the lack of open space and recreational amenities.
The Planning Commission also recommended denial in November.
Despite these recommendations, the Escondido City Council approved the project by a 4-1 vote.
Mayor Dane White acknowledged the importance of open space and recreational amenities but said they are not priorities for every resident.
commitment to being a good neighbor and to addressing legitimate community concerns,” said Blackburn, stressing the importance of adhering to quiet hours.
Activists and community members also raised broader concerns about the lease agreement’s impact.
Hope Nelson, representing Citizens for a Friendly Airport, criticized the continuance.
“The people who have spoken in favor of a continuance have a vested interest in the airport,” Nelson said.
“I think it’s time that you recognize the other side of the equation (for) the activists who have sat here for two and a half hours now, please do not continue this.”
During his final City Council meeting, Councilmember Mike Morasco said the project’s benefits to potential residents outweighed its shortcomings.
“I would like to see more open space, landscaping and covered parking, I totally would, but I also understand and agree with the mayor that’s not what everyone is looking for or what every property needs,” Morasco said.
Patel said the conversion would also help curb criminal activity on the site.
Councilmember Consuelo Martinez cast the lone opposing vote, stating she could not support the project unless all units were deed-restricted as affordable housing.
Since the board approved the motion to delay the vote, with Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer dissenting, the proposed lease and policy changes will be revisited later.
The delay leaves unresolved questions about balancing federal aviation obligations with community concerns. The board’s eventual decision will have far-reaching implications for Carlsbad residents, environmental standards, and the future of McClellan-Palomar Airport operations.
In closing his letter, Blackburn urged further dialogue.
“We urge the County to condition this agreement or postpone its approval to allow for greater dialogue between the city and the County,” he wrote.

Critics decry ‘hypocrisy’ over appointment pick
By Walker Armstrong
ENCINITAS — The Encinitas City Council voted 3-1 on Dec. 11 to fill a vacant seat through an appointment process, drawing sharp criticism and claims of “hypocrisy” for seemingly contradicting campaign statements from newly elected officials who had previously opposed such appointments.
The District 4 seat was left vacant after Bruce Ehlers was elected mayor, leaving the new council to deliberate whether to hold a costly special election or proceed with an appointment.
City Clerk Kathy Hollywood outlined the two options: a special election estimated to cost between $275,000 and $450,000 or an appointment process that would likely fill the seat by February.
“The earliest we would be able to hold that special election is the Aug. 26 special election date,” Hollywood said, adding that certification could push the process into October, leaving the seat vacant for nearly a year.
Newly elected District 2 Councilmember Jim O’Hara, who had previously called for special elec-

something I will carry with me in every discussion we have.”
Reflections
Blackwell, who served on the council for two years, expressed gratitude to her family, staff, and the community for their support. She urged the incoming elected officials to represent all constituents, including those not voting for them.
Blackwell further emphasized fostering civility during council meetings and encouraging respect and dignity in public discourse.
“I hope that the new council members realize they did not win their races with 100% vote for them,” Blackwell said. “There were thousands of people who voted for Mayor Kranz and for me and for Destiny Preston, and those thousands of people still expect that you’re going to represent them well here.”
Hinze thanked her friends and family in attendance for their support during her tenure.
“The thing about Encinitas is that we’re all committed to it, and we’re all committed to seeing the city continue to flourish,” Hinze said. “So with that, I say thank you.”
Addressing the challenges of implementing state housing laws locally, Kranz described the past years as a “political science experiment” where Sacra-
tions during his campaign, told The Coast News that he “agonized over the decision” but ultimately defended his vote for an appointment.
“I listened to everybody who got up there … I sincerely listened to the person who called me out for having pushed for elections,” O’Hara said. “This was one of the hardest decisions, and someone will be mad no matter your choice. I will reluctantly support an appointment only if there are stipulations to avoid further political appointments.”
Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes, who cast the lone dissenting vote, described
her opposition as a “protest vote.”
“I will not support a motion that calls for an appointment, not only because of the hypocrisy but also because of the divisiveness it has caused,” Lyndes said during the meeting.
Lyndes, who was herself appointed to the District 3 seat in 2021, emphasized the tension caused by criticism of council appointees, including former council members Allison Blackwell and Kellie Hinze, during the campaign.
“I just had to protest that it was used against the other (candidates) to get these people into their seats, and then one of their
mento policies led to unpopular decisions at the local level.
He recounted the city’s efforts to comply with state housing mandates, including failed ballot measures, court-ordered compliance, and visible impacts of housing element laws.
“It will present the new council with some very difficult decisions, but ultimately, I think it’s critical that cities stay compliant with the law,” Kranz said.
Kranz, who spent 12 years on the council, including as mayor, cited Emily Dickinson’s poem “I Dwell in Possibility,” which he related to the opportunities and challenges of housing and governance.
With those reflections, Kranz formally transitioned the meeting to the next agenda item, marking the
end of his time as mayor and the beginning of new leadership for Encinitas.
The newly seated council will face critical decisions, including appointing a replacement for Ehlers’ former council seat, selecting a new city manager, and addressing ongoing housing, infrastructure, and community engagement challenges. Community members expressed optimism and high expectations for the council’s future actions.
“As mayor, I’m one vote, I’m one out of five, I’m not two out of five, I’m not one and a half out of five, I’m one out of five, and it takes three to do anything up here,” Ehlers said. “This is a participative sport. I don’t do anything alone up here; we don’t do anything alone up here, and we need your input.”
time, efficiency, money and where we stand.”
Shaffer highlighted the need for a candidate who could “do the right thing” for the city and manage the complexities of the role effectively.
Ehlers, who also pushed for an appointment, cited the urgency of filling the seat to address city priorities without significant delay.
“An appointed official would get us here in February,” Ehlers said. “An election would leave us waiting until October (2025), and by then, they’d be turning around and running for office again.”
first decisions was to appoint,” Lyndes later told The Coast News.
Councilmember Luke Shaffer, who defeated Blackwell in the District 1 race, acknowledged the criticism over what some have called “serial appointments” but defended the decision as the most practical option.
“First and foremost, I’m looking for somebody that stands for Encinitas,” Shaffer said during Tuesday’s meeting, emphasizing the importance of selecting a candidate with strong civic engagement and leadership skills. “I am 100% behind an appointment at this point just because of …
Public comments during the meeting revealed a sharp divide over the decision. While the decision ensures the council can fill the seat more quickly, the move reignited discussions about balancing fiscal responsibility with public trust in the democratic process.
While acknowledging his past support for appointments under certain conditions, longtime resident Marco Gonzalez, attorney and brother of former state Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez, pointed to perceived inconsistencies in the council’s stance.
“To the extent you’re going to get up now and say, because our guys won, we want an appointment —
let’s just own the hypocrisy,” Gonzalez said.
Other residents, including Brian Stone, advocated for a special election, arguing it upheld democratic principles.
“Let the people of District 4 have a special election and elect their next council person,” Stone said. “I see that as a measure of integrity.”
Rachel Graves, a volunteer for the campaigns of Ehlers, O’Hara and Shaffer, defended the appointment process, citing the high cost of an election.
“Anyone who voted for Bruce knew that seat would become available, and that is standard practice in the city to appoint,” Graves said.
Ehlers and O’Hara supported the implementation of safeguards to prevent appointees from running in the next election.
“I will ask each and every one of the applicants, whether they will publicly announce that they will not run in 2026, and I will not support somebody who will not do that,” Ehlers said, adding that such a commitment aligns with his belief in “free and open elections.”
The appointment process will begin immediately, with applications for the District 4 seat to be posted and interviews scheduled for Jan. 22, 2025.
The council is expected to finalize the appointment by Feb. 12, 2025.
SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE COUNTY OF ORANGE In Re BEACHWOOD MOTEL LITIGATION, Case No. 30-2022-01261800-CU-CR-CXC NOTICE OF CERTIFICATION OF CLASS ACTION TO: ALL PERSONS WHO RESIDED AT THE BEACHWOOD MOTEL FOR AT LEAST 28 CONSECUTIVE DAYS AND MOVED OUT, OR CHECKED OUT AND RE-REGISTERED, BEFORE 30 CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF OCCUPANCY AT ANY TIME BETWEEN MAY 23, 2018 AND OCTOBER 4, 2024

DEL
MAR —
The California Coastal Commission has granted a coastal development permit for the Camino Del Mar bridge replacement in Del Mar, checking off a crucial approval needed for the project to continue.
The 92-year-old bridge crosses the San Dieguito River at North Beach and is a crucial corridor between Del Mar and Solana Beach. The bridge is in deteriorated condition, with exposed rebar coming out of the concrete, and needs to be updated to meet seismic and sea level rise standards.
Estimated to cost around $72 million, the project will lengthen the 600-foot bridge by 24 feet, widen it to accommodate an additional sidewalk on the east side, and raise it to accommodate 3.16 feet of sea level rise. It will continue to offer two lanes of vehicle traffic.
Commissioners approved the coastal development permit as a consent item at their Dec. 12 meeting, along with several special conditions related to public access, design elements, and mitigating environmental impacts.
“Staff would like to thank the city of Del Mar for working collaboratively with us on this bridge replacement project, which includes significant multimodal access, sea level rise resiliency provisions, lagoon habitat restoration and visual upgrades,” said Karl Schwing, the commission’s San Diego district director.
The current bridge features two vehicle lanes, bike lanes and a sidewalk on the west side. In addition to a new sidewalk on the east

side, the new bridge will feature two new pedestrian overlooks on the west sidewalks for additional ocean views.
Commission conditions include the requirement for updated final plans with a new railing design that will allow for better views and a uniform color of concrete that will complement the bluffs and tree plantings.
Other conditions include monitoring local fish and seagrass, stormwater prevention plans, detailed construction plans, nesting bird monitoring and avoidance plans, and public access plans.
City officials have confirmed that public access to the North Beach and Dog Beach area will be maintained while construction
is ongoing but with some modifications. There will also be a temporary loss of around 65 parking spaces.
“Although the project will have temporary traffic impacts, the City of Del Mar has committed to implementing measures to minimize these impacts,” a commission staff report stated.
Del Mar Mayor Terry Gaasterland said the Coastal Commission’s approval is a major milestone for the project, which will greatly benefit the region.
“These benefits include a new bridge that will last for decades, improved river and tidal flows near the mouth of the San Dieguito Lagoon, and raised road height to be resilient to sea level rise and flooding from major storms,” Gaasterland
said.
Plans for the bridge replacement have been in the works for years, with state and federal transportation officials confirming in 2012 that a full reconstruction, rather than repairs, would be necessary.
The bulk of the funding — around $62.4 million, or 88.5% of the total cost — comes from the Federal Highway Administration Highway Bridge Program, and the city must supply the remaining $8.3 million.
Del Mar primarily funds its portion through state and local grants, securing $3.5 million from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors in 2021 and $2.2 million in State Priority Legislative Budget funds in 2022.
As of May, the city still sought funding for the remaining $2.6 million gap.
Del Mar has also received the permits needed from the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board and the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, said Del Mar Principal Engineer Karen Falk. The city still requires a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, and a State Lands Commission modified lease agreement.
Del Mar is on track to obtain all needed permits by mid-2025 and complete the project design by late 2025. In 2026, the city will need to obtain final federal authorization and solicit bids for construction before breaking ground.

election cycle.
Whitsell, who previously served as the party’s chair from 2021 to 2024, expressed optimism about building on recent Republican successes.
“Building on Republican wins nationally in 2024, our goal is to prepare the battlefield for San Diego County to help elect a new Republican governor and boost our numbers in the Legislature, Congress, and in local offices,” Whitsell said after the vote. “I’m delighted and proud that a majority of the Central Committee has seen fit to assign this duty to me, and I look forward to a unified effort among all of our members to make gains in San Diego County.”
“Due to the significant federal funding provided for the project, federal authorization to construct is required and will be completed in the first half of 2026,” Falk said. “Active construction and impacts to the community would start in early 2027 and continue for approximately three years.”
Cars, bikes and pedestrians will have modified access to the bridge for most of the project. During construction, crews will replace each half of the bridge one at a time and reroute both lanes of traffic, bike lanes and the sidewalk to the opposite side, a staff report states.
Sources close to the party say Whitsell’s campaign for the seat offered Central Committee members an opportunity to elect seasoned leadership to mentor a rising generation of party leaders, two of whom — Alana Sorensen of Escondido and 4S Ranch’s Kristie BruceLane — were selected as first and second vice chairs, respectively.
“The new officers are a combination of seasoned, veteran Committee members and rising young leaders of the party,” said Encinitas resident Garvin Walsh, a newly elected member of

— The city swore in a new council member, welcomed back a returning representative and honored a longtime council veteran during an emotional meeting on Dec. 11 at Escondido City Hall.
Newly elected Councilmember Christian Garcia, appointed nearly two years ago, was sworn in to represent District 3.
Garcia expressed optimism for Escondido’s future, buoyed by his victorious campaign and the passage of Measure I, a one-cent sales tax to improve public safety, address homelessness and tackle the city’s budget shortfall.
“Today, we stand on a precipice overlooking a bright and beautiful future,” Garcia said.
Judy Fitzgerald, a former police officer, was sworn in to represent District 4, replacing outgoing Councilmember Mike Morasco, who stepped down after 14 years of service.
Fitzgerald thanked her mentors, including Morasco and his wife, Pam, for their guidance and expressed confidence in the city’s direction following the approval of Measure I.
“We are all in this together,” Fitzgerald said. “I know that we’re going to be working through some things that we may not agree on, but one thing we do agree on is that the future of this city is looking better because of the decisions made here today and Measure I passing.”
Morasco, first appointed to the council in 2010 and subsequently re-elected in 2012, 2016 and 2020, also prepares to retire from his career as a phys-
ical therapist on Dec. 21. Reflecting on his tenure, Morasco expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve.
“It has been an absolutely fantastic ride, one that we have enjoyed tremendously from start to finish,” Morasco said.
Morasco tearfully acknowledged his one regret was not serving more time alongside former Councilmember John Masson, who passed away in 2020 following a battle with cancer. He thanked city staff, colleagues and the community for their support.
“Thank you for affording me this opportunity to serve our community for as long as I have been able to do it,” he said. “It’s time to get rid of the old and ring in the new.”
Mayor Dane White delivered an emotional tribute to Morasco, his fatherin-law.
“I’ve never met anybody as dedicated to their personal life, their family life, and their professional life, and I just wanted to say thank you very much for your service to this community,” White said.
“I think it’s profoundly recognized with anyone you’ve come in contact with over the last 14 years.”
At the same meeting, Treasurer Douglas Shultz, who ran unopposed, won reelection, and Councilmember Consuelo Martinez was appointed deputy mayor for the following year.
By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —
The council chambers were packed on Dec. 11 as family, friends, and constituents gathered to witness the swearing-in of newly elected and re-elected officials following November’s election.
Mayor Esther Sanchez, who narrowly defeated former Deputy Mayor Ryan Keim, reflected on her deep ties to Oceanside and her vision for the city.
“This room reflects the city of Oceanside, which is why I love this town so much,” said Sanchez, born and raised in the community after her grandfather moved the family to the area from Texas.
Sanchez also highlighted the council’s new Democratic majority for the first time in 24 years, asking residents to embrace a fresh approach.
“Please give us a chance to show you that we’ve got the heart, we’ve got the plans, we’ve got the vision, and it’s all about you,” Sanchez said.
Re-elected District 4 Councilmember Peter Weiss urged his colleagues to think beyond district lines.
“All five of us have to make decisions that affect everyone, so it’s important that we look beyond our districts,” Weiss said.
Newly elected District 3 Councilmember Jimmy Figueroa, who grew up in Oceanside’s Tri-City neighborhood, expressed gratitude to his family and community.
“I don’t think they could ever imagine this moment – that their son would be a City Council member,” Figueroa said, reflecting on his parents’ sacrifices after they were displaced by gentrification in Solana Beach
and Encinitas.
Figueroa invited friends Joe Taulau and Timothy Jackson, former rival gang members now mentoring at-risk youth, to swear him in as a symbol of unity.
The three worked together in Vista Community Clinic’s
Resilience Program, where Figueroa previously served as manager.
City Treasurer Phyllis Dominguez, who defeated incumbent Victor Roy in her first-ever bid for public office, vowed to bring transparency to her new role.
“I look forward to working for the people of Oceanside because I’m elected to work for you,” Dominguez said.
City Clerk Zeb Navarro ran unopposed and was sworn in for another term, promising to maintain high service standards.
Outgoing Deputy Mayor Ryan Keim, who ran unsuccessfully for mayor, congratulated Figueroa and thanked city staff for their hard work.
“I’m very proud to be leaving my seat to someone that I know who cares about the city very much,” Keim said. “Jimmy Figueroa has worked very hard … and I’m looking forward to seeing all the great things he’s going to do on council.”
Keim, appointed in 2019 and elected in 2020, concluded with gratitude for the relationships he built during his time on the council.
Keim also thanked city staff for their time and effort following the City Council’s directions.
“We ask for a lot up here and when we make a simple motion and get it seconded, it turns into hours of stafftime,” Keim said. “We have some of the most fantastic staff in the county.”

REGION — San Diego International Airport will soon have a direct flight to Washington, D.C.’s Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, thanks to approval Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Alaska Airlines will run the direct flights to the coveted location, after proposing the route when the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 passed.
The airline will allocate additional flights to and from heavily regulated Reagan National — also known as DCA.
DCA is significantly closer to the nation’s capital than the next nearest airport, Dulles International.
“We are very pleased with the DOT’s approval of Alaska Airlines to begin
service between SAN and DCA,” said Kimberly Becker, president and CEO of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.
“This route will provide significant convenience for our defense, biotech and communications sectors that require efficient access to the nation’s capital.
“We appreciate the DOT’s thoughtful analysis, and we are grateful to the many elected officials, industry sectors, and communities who spoke up in support of this service,” she added.
Due to DCA’s much closer proximity to Capitol Hill, the White House and other important buildings in Washington, D.C., the DOT requires that nonstop flights from cities farther than 1,250 miles get special approval.
Before Tuesday’s deci-
sion, San Diego was the nation’s largest market without nonstop service to DCA.
The California Energy Commission has approved a $50 million grant to support energy storage projects at Camp Pendleton and Naval Base San Diego.
The $42 million Camp Pendleton and $8 million Naval Base San Diego Long-Duration Energy Storage projects will support infrastructure aimed at maintaining uninterrupted power at both facilities in the event of outages.
Officials with the com-
mission and the Navy said the projects would also support California’s clean-energy goals.
The Camp Pendleton project — described as the largest Long-Duration Energy Storage project in the Department of Defense — is expected to provide electricity and backup power to the base for up to 14 days if a power outage occurs.
Meredith Berger, assistant secretary of the Navy and chief sustainability officer, said, “Projects like these build upon the value and benefit of working together on LDES and new technical solutions and serve as a model for installations around the world to increase energy reliability and ensure mission success during unexpected grid conditions and natural disasters.”
ed the city to move forward with immediate cleanup efforts. On Monday, crews removed 120 cubic yards of trash from the site.
A fence will be installed to prevent further contamination, and additional cleanup phases will follow.
“This is not an overnight process,” McKinney said. “While you will see progress, ratifying the emergency order, securing necessary resources and connecting people with support services are essential first steps.”
The emergency declaration allows the city to accelerate cleanup efforts, coordinate with nonprofit and regulatory agencies, and address the environmental and public health risks stemming from the encampment.
Emergency efforts include collaboration with local nonprofit service providers, regulatory agencies and community partners, including Turn Behavioral Health Services, North Inland Mental Health Center, Serenity House, Interfaith Community Services, YMCA Transitional Aged Youth Services, Office of Homeless Solutions; Neighborhood Healthcare, Love Esco, McAlister’s North Inland Regional Recovery, San Diego Rescue Mission and Acadia Healthcare Comprehensive Treatment Center.
A second cleanup phase
will begin once fencing is in place to restore the area’s environmental health.
City officials emphasized their commitment to supporting those affected. Outreach teams will assist displaced individuals by partnering with local organizations such as Interfaith Community Services, the San Diego Rescue Mission, and Serenity House.
The Church of God Es-
condido will serve as a staging area for services.“We understand the sensitivity of this issue, especially during the holiday season,” McGlynn said. “Our goal is to balance urgent environmental, public health and safety needs with empathy for those impacted by these actions.”

Whitsell’s re-election comes amid a backdrop of controversy from earlier this year. In April, Whitsell stepped down from her role as party chair amid accusa-
“A huge part of today is a failure of the mental health system and the criminal justice system,” White said, who also committed the city to acquiring more shelter and detox beds in the future.

“It means a lot that you guys did something,” Bouchard told the council.
JP Theberge, an Escondido Creek Conservancy board member, praised the city’s actions and suggested converting the creekbed into a recreational or open space to prevent future encampments.
“It will improve the quality of that whole area,” Theberge said.
Escondido native Hawkins Sellier opposed the emergency order, expressing concern for the unhoused individuals displaced from the encampment.
“As I look around this room today, unfortunately, I do not see the people who will be most immediately impacted – they’re packing their bags to try to find somewhere to stay,” Sellier said.
Newly elected Councilmember Judy Fitzgerald, a former police officer now representing District 4, said she witnessed individuals treated with respect and dignity during the cleanup.
“It’s not caring to let them stay in a situation with how the environment is there, which can be detrimental to their health, safety and welfare,” said Fitzgerald, who also recalled seeing evidence of drugs, human trafficking and children living in the creekbed at the encampment site located in her district.
praised her decision to step down as a good-faith effort to preserve party unity.
“It is a misconception that Paula resigned in response to accusations of misconduct,” Walsh said. “The factional division within the party was fierce. She resigned in an attempt to appease critics, in a genuine effort to restore party unity. It was a generous and selfless gesture.”
proactive engagement and concessions ultimately mitigated their concerns.
“You always want to be sympathetic to the residents. At the same time you want to review in a situation like that, you respect the developers’ property rights,” O’Hara told The Coast News. “I don’t know if we got the perfect outcome, but we got an improved outcome due to that collaboration and cooperation between the two groups.”
Officer alleges abuse after being outed as gay
By Samantha Nelson
OCEANSIDE — A police sergeant has filed a lawsuit against the Oceanside Police Department, alleging colleagues and supervisors discriminated against him after learning he is gay.
Oceanside City Attorney John Mullen said the city takes the allegations seriously and has launched an internal investigation.
Sgt. Tyler Peppard, who joined the department in 2016, filed the lawsuit in November. He claims he faced mistreatment from coworkers and supervisors after his sexual orientation became known.
“He was naturally a little trepidatious about what might happen if people at work found out,” the lawsuit states. “To his dismay, everything changed at work once his sexuality became known to his coworkers and management.”
Peppard, who is now openly gay, said he initially kept his sexuality private, fearing adverse reactions. The lawsuit describes Peppard as the youngest sergeant in the department and says he began to “stand out as a high performer” early in his career.
Six months into his training, Peppard’s partner revealed his sexuality to the department. Peppard said he noticed an “instant shift” in his treatment.
The lawsuit alleges Peppard’s direct supervisor made discriminatory remarks during a 2017 performance review.
“Your dad is probably disappointed and embarrassed. He probably would prefer you to turn in your badge and gun,” the supervisor allegedly told Peppard. “You need more life experiences since you have only lived at your parents' house, although your mom did just have your brother, which is piss-poor planning if you ask me.”
Peppard, a second-generation officer inspired by his father’s career, said he
wanted to “protect and serve” his community. When he questioned the supervisor’s remarks, the lawsuit alleges that a field training officer told him to “shut the f*** up.”
Afterward, Peppard’s performance ratings reportedly dropped significantly, and he was recommended for termination. According to the lawsuit, Peppard’s father convinced the department to let him stay, and he later received consistent “above standards” reviews until 2023.
The lawsuit claims that a change in supervisors reignited the alleged discrimination. Peppard said colleagues left rotting food in his equipment bag, tampered with his SWAT ammunition, and subjected him to constant harassment.
“These attacks, varying in degree and manner, have intensified over time and are now occurring almost every day,” the lawsuit states. “It got so bad that Sgt. Peppard was anxious to eat food that may have been out of his sight for even just an instant, for fear that his colleagues would try to alter his food.”
Peppard alleges the harassment also hindered his chances for advancement.
As a probationary sergeant, Peppard was expected to complete a 180-day trial supervising officers. However, the lawsuit claims his probation was cut short because his patrol division captain “didn’t trust” him and viewed him as a liability.
In May, Peppard was placed on probation for alleged performance issues, including writeups related to “communication” problems, such as not responding to a text immediately or turning away mid-conversation with a superior. Peppard denies these claims.
The lawsuit also alleges that managers linked to the Baptist denomination “rekindled their vendetta” against Peppard as the only openly gay officer in the department.
In October, Peppard sought medical leave after being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder related to the alleged harassment.
“He continues to struggle with emotional distress as a result of his employment, including without limitation, stress, anxiety, fear, anger, feelings of isolation and oppression, depression, problems with relationships, and the development of an eating disorder,” the lawsuit states.
Peppard seeks damages for lost wages, litigation costs and other relief.
Peppard’s attorney, Dante Pride of The Pride Law Firm, told CBS 8 that additional incidents will surface during the discovery process.
“I don’t know how I would feel if the person who I have to report to, the person in charge of my paycheck, in charge of my hours, basically in charge of my life, tells me that they believe my parents should be ashamed because of my sexuality,” Pride told CBS 8.

When I was a gremmie, in the early 1960s, most people near the coast came from functional and traditional families. Christmas day was generally split between two American deities: Santa Claus and Baby Jesus.
Depending on your family, you either played with the gifts brought by Santa or attended Church first. We split the difference by attending midnight mass and getting up early to see what the North Pole blew in.
By then we felt too mature to believe in either, and it only later occurred to me that my adolescent atheism was partially due to finding out that my parents had lied (too strong a word?) about Santa and the Easter Bunny and probably also fibbed about the being set up in a manger, and later a cross, near them.
Like many people we knew, Christmas had become a sort of secular holy day, and we observed it with the rest of the family. That was before surfing jackhammered tradition.
The year was 1965, and I had only recently achieved a California driver’s license. The weather patterns that
year were similar to this year’s and Christmas day broke sunny and cold.
We could see by a neighbor’s American flag that the winds were offshore, and we had to surf that day.
Nervously, I asked Dad to borrow the station wagon. He agreed, gave me the keys and requested we be back for dinner and not track any sand into the house.
We had been to Palos Verdes before but had little idea where the surf spots were.
After driving through some of the West Coast’s most exclusive neighborhoods, we came upon a beautiful cove that we later learned went by the names Bluff Cove, Paddleboard Cove and Palos Verdes Cove.
The surf there was small, clean and slow (think Terra Mar), and perfect for us and our heavy longboards. The best part was that there was nobody out.
A steep path led to a
rocky shoreline and an easy paddle out into waves shared by my brother, Dave, and me. We rode for hours in this glassy little paradise visited only by seagulls, sea lions and leopard sharks.
Having never seen leopard sharks before we didn’t realize they were toothless and could not hurt us even if they wanted to.
We were home in time for dinner, washed the sand from our feet and, because we had surfed, were less agitated than we had been in Christmases past.
Inexpensive gifts had been exchanged and, wearing my new watch, I kept hoping someone would ask me the time, which they never did.
For my brother and me, this led to a tradition of surfing on Christmas Day. No matter what the conditions: big, small, offshore or onshore, we were going surfing on Dec. 25. Having found my own faith years ago, Christmas Day now means a great deal to me.
I love sharing it with friends and family, a pleasure enhanced after riding a few waves with someone close to me (this year, I hope to break my 13-year-old grandson, Lucas, into the tradition).
Borrowing from Surfer Magazine circa 1970, I share this greeting with you, dear reader. Here’s wishing you a glassy Christmas and an offshore New Year.

By Leo Place SOLANA BEACH —
After multiple redesigns and years of public input, Solana Beach has approved permits for a new Marine Safety Center design to replace the outdated 1940s-era facility.
The City Council’s Dec. 11 approval moves the project out of the design phase, where it has been stuck for nearly a decade after the city first identified the need for a facility within its work plan.
Solana Beach’s lifeguard staff have long outgrown the current Marine Safety Center facility at Fletcher Cove Park, which lacks the needed space for equipment storage, meeting areas, locker rooms and the junior lifeguard program and does not allow a full view of the beach to the south.
A preferred design for the project was initially chosen in 2019 but then shelved when the COVID-19 pandemic began. It was later given a fresh look after neighbors shared concerns about view blockage, and the City Council then reviewed additional designs by Domusstudio Architecture three times in 2023 and early 2024.
“This project has been in the city’s work plan for 10-plus years, and we hope we’re at the end of that line,” said City Engineer Mo Sammak.
The final design represents the smallest facility possible that still meets the lifeguards’ basic needs, with the bulkiest portion of the building nestled into the bluff below Las Brisas condominiums.
The highest point of the proposed building will be approximately 7.52 feet higher than the existing building, and the proposed observation tower is 4.72 feet higher. The current 2,971-square-foot building offers one single-use bathroom, a communal locker room, and several shared areas for offices, first aid, and a kitchen. The second-story
office space is only accessible via a vertical ladder, and no dedicated meeting areas can accommodate more than a few people.
The new 4,309-squarefoot facility will include dedicated areas for first aid, meeting rooms, more pri-
vate office spaces, a kitchen area and a captain’s quarters. There will also be separate locker rooms and bathrooms to accommodate staff better onsite.
“All we’re trying to do is meet industry standards and meet your basic operational needs,” said Solana Beach Lifeguard Captain Greg Uruburu. “When we look north and we look south, the precedent set in Del Mar and the precedent set in Encinitas, we’re just trying to meet those basic standards.”
The new lookout tower will also provide lifeguards a 360-degree view of the beach, parking lot and larger park and playground area at Fletcher Cove, and a better view of the beach area directly at the foot of the bluff.
There will also be a separate area for the Junior Lifeguard Program, which currently runs out of two trailers. Uruburu noted that Solana Beach has the biggest student lifeguard program in San Diego County.
Several public speakers spoke in favor of the new design, saying that the upgrade is long overdue for the marine safety department.
“We are running a small nation out of a facility that was designed in 1940,” said former Solana Beach lifeguard Grant Fletcher.
However, some individuals living near Fletcher Cove said they still believe the proposed building and lifeguard tower are taller
than necessary.
“The design should be single-story, or it should be much lower,” said resident Ron Kassan. “It blocks the view from north, west, east … it’s just overbearing.”
City leaders explained that they have done everything possible to limit view impairment but that a larger building is needed. Mayor Lesa Heebner noted that no one in the city is entitled to 100% of their view.
The city also did not receive any view claims during the required period, during which story poles for the project were set up this year.
“Our process is all about trying to find that sweet spot, and making sure function and form and everybody’s rights are shared,” Heebner said.
Solana Beach still has a long way to go before the new headquarters becomes a reality. The project needs a coastal development permit from the California Coastal Commission, and the city also needs to find millions of dollars in funding.
While the facility will certainly benefit the city’s lifeguards, residents said it will also benefit the community at large who rely on lifeguards to keep them safe.
“This thing is gonna really save someone’s life,” said Anthony Gatti. “If you give these guys the tools to be better equipped to do that, you’re gonna have a very positive situation on your hands.”

In an era where youth athletes increasingly specialize in a single sport, Encinitas Edge Baseball co-owners Billy Burris and Daniel Reitz are making a case for the old way of doing things.
“With our group, we made it very clear in the beginning we want you playing as many sports as you can,” Burris, 42, said. “A lot of kids are picking a main sport way earlier than when we did. College baseball when I was in high school looks like high school baseball now. It’s a totally different animal.”
The philosophy guiding Encinitas Edge took root after a 2022 interview with retired Major League Baseball star Alex Rodriguez, which left a lasting impression on Burris.
“I hold the A-Rod interview dear,” Burris said. “They asked him, ‘Hey, if you want your kid to play professional baseball, what’s your recommendation?’ He was like, ‘Every sport all the time.’ A lot of the kids here embody that. In our demographic, the kids play four different sports.”
Now in its 10th year, Encinitas Edge has entered a new chapter under Burris and Reitz. The two are wrapping up their first year running the program, which emphasizes professional coaching and a community-based approach to baseball.
“There’s a ton of options out there,” Burris said. “I have three boys that are hardcore into baseball, and what we wanted to get out there was a program that had professional coaches,
not parent coaches. We’ve brought in coaches who have been in this business for years.”
Burris and Reitz, director of baseball operations at Encinitas Edge, assembled a staff that includes Edgar Morales, a former UC Riverside player, and Dave Waite, a former player at Fallbrook High School and Cal Poly Pomona.
“Just because the program is new doesn’t mean Daniel and I are new,” Burris said. “Coach Reitz is a former Division I player. His idea was to truncate a DI training regime and adapt to the age and size of the kids. With us, they train like college athletes and have a good time.”
Reitz played at Gahr High School under legendary coach Gerardo Perez, where he developed a passion for player development. After a collegiate baseball career at the University of Hawai’i at Hilo, Reitz became head coach at Whitney High School in Cerritos, guiding the team to its first winning record and CIF qualification in over 25 years.
He later joined the staff at San Dieguito Academy, focusing on offense while developing infielders and catchers. In 2021, Reitz founded Reitz Baseball Camp, serving North County youth baseball and softball players.
Waite, Encinitas Edge’s hitting coach, excelled in baseball at Fallbrook High, where he played on the school’s nationally-ranked varsity team in 1985 and ‘86. His father, Bill Waite, a respected coach at Fallbrook High, led the team to multiple titles.
Morales, head coach
for the Encinitas Edge 9U team, started playing baseball at age four. After competing in everything from T-ball and Little League to travel ball, high school and scout ball, he entered the collegiate level at UC Riverside. After two years with
the Highlanders, Morales played two more at Palomar College and finished at Cal State San Marcos.
With 55 kids enrolled, Encinitas Edge currently fields three teams:
“The collateral value is the 11, 12 and 13s as we scale into that, help out with the younger kids. We had a program where we had the 8s matched up with a buddy from the older group for the day. When you are a little kid and they throw a bigger kid at you, you think it’s the coolest thing in the world. We are a big community of baseball and we want to keep a real positive influence wrapped around that.”
Encinitas Edge runs from May through December, allowing players to stay active without conflicting with Encinitas Little League, which Burris highly regards.
“It’s a mistake not to take advantage of recreational baseball,” he said. “Playing at Encinitas Little League is an incredible atmosphere run by great people. If your kid misses that, they are missing an important part of growing up. It’s not just about baseball; it’s about running around with your friends. It’s what growing up is all about.”
Field availability has been one of the program’s biggest challenges, often forcing Burris to get creative.
“We have pieced it together where we can when we can,” he said. “We’ve asked that our families stay flexible with us. Sometimes we try to get on the field really early if it’s a space that can’t be reserved. We also try to play a lot of away games.”
With a foundation set in its first year under new leadership, Encinitas Edge looks forward to growth and continued success. Burris credits founder Ted Haberfield, a longtime baseball coach and past president of Encinitas Little League who stepped away after his kids aged out, for laying the groundwork.
10-and-under, 9U and a developmental team for eightyear-olds. Burris expects participation to grow, with the program potentially expanding to six teams in its second year.
“This is something we love to do,” Burris said.
“It’s a great group of kids and families,” Burris said. “It was an exciting year. No program is without its challenges in Year 1. We are learning and getting better and moving forward.”

As the story goes, I was making my weekly Sunday visit to the Leucadia Farmers Market, making a beeline to my produce vendors, and walking quickly past The Pastrami Stand as I was not planning on indulging that day.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the word “stand,” but above it was not Pastrami, but the word “Raclette,” which made me do a quick double take and stop in my tracks as Raclette is one of my favorite cheeses anywhere and one I have a bit of a history with.
That history starts with my brother Gerry Boylan, who, by way of his home in Empire, Michigan, on the Leelanau Peninsula, years ago, became familiar with Leelanau Cheese in Suttons Bay, renowned for their award-winning Raclette.
Gerry turned me on to it; it was love at first bite for me.
As fate had it, I purchased a home in Suttons Bay a few years ago about a mile from Leelanau Cheese, so I’ve had easy access ever since…, and my appreciation for it has only grown — and the owners have made two appearances on Lick the Plate!
With that backstory out of the way, I’ll segue back to the Leucadia Farmers Market and that beautiful Sunday discovery. When I realized the sign said Raclette Stand, I immediately power-walked over and introduced myself to the husband and wife proprietors, Sascha and Sibylle Ploder.
They were busy melting their amazing Raclette over ham and baguette sandwiches for a crowd intrigued by this new and somewhat exotic vendor.
I told them about my history with their cheese, ordered a baguette and invited them to Leucadia to record a Lick the Plate show and gather more content for this feature.
The sandwich was fabulous, and I was walking on sunshine for the rest of the day, amazed at my stroke of Raclette luck.
Sascha and Sibylle are fairly recent to San Diego, with Sascha growing up in Bülach near Zürich and Sibylle in Thun near Bern.
Both cities are in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, about 100 miles from each other.
They had the good fortune of meeting while working for the same company and discovered their mutual love of Raclette,
and the idea to take it to San Diego was hatched after Sascha visited San Diego and fell in love with the area.
I wanted to know more about their memories of Raclette and its importance in their culture.
Sascha summed it up nicely.
“Being born and raised in Switzerland means for almost everyone that you’re growing up around and with cheese,” he said. “And Raclette provides the most delicious and pleasurable
versions of enjoying the greatness of Swiss cheese. Raclette goes along with family traditions all over Switzerland and is meant to be the dish to share with family and friends for big gatherings. Everyone loves Raclette!”
I’m somewhat envious of their upbringing and can only imagine enjoying such world-class cheese with the beauty of Switzerland as the backdrop.
Another question I had was about the difference between French and Swiss
Raclette, as Trader Joe’s started carrying a French version recently, and I did not enjoy it nearly as much.
Sascha told me that Swiss Raclette tends to be harder and has a longer aging process, and the rind is left on the cheese, making it sharper and more flavorful.
I’ve noticed a nutty flavor, which I found very appealing.
Raclette is produced all over Switzerland, but the creamery that they source all their Raclette cheese from, an artisanal creamery called JUMI, is based in the Emmental region, a small valley that lies in the heart of Switzerland close to the Bernese Alps.
They source the milk from small farms within a short radius of the creamery. The biggest farmer has around 30 cows, the smallest 5-7 cows, and every cow has a name.
During the summer, they have fresh grass, flowers and herbs from the rich pasture landscape of the picturesque rolling hills in this region to graze.
Besides being in direct contact with the creamery, Sascha and Sibylle work with the primary importer in the US.
Regarding consuming it, most traditionally, Ra-
clette is melted on top of small boiled potatoes with the skin on, but you can enjoy it at room temperature on a charcuterie board, too. Pickles (aka little cornichons) and pickled pearl onions, in combination with cheese, are also a smart move.
Both of these options are perfect when paired with beer or a glass of wine.
They also mentioned that when you’re invited to a Raclette party, you’ll always find other varieties and combinations, including but not limited to a Swiss Mac and Cheese version called Älpler Makkaroni, or you can create a beautiful Cordon Bleu.
It also makes a great melt-on breakfast toast with hash browns called Rösti in Switzerland.
All this, along with the previously mentioned way
of melting it on top of ham on a baguette, pretzel or a loaded Raclette hot dog, is what they serve in San Diego.
Sascha and Sibylle have around 3-4 set-ups a week, popping up at various breweries and wineries all over San Diego County. The schedule is always posted on their Instagram account @theraclettestand and their website and Facebook.
The Raclette Stand is at the Leucadia Farmers Market — one of their favorite locations — at least once a month. They also offer catering that is sure to impress your guests.
My advice is to connect with these splendid folks and enjoy their Raclette concoctions soon. For more information, visit them at www.theraclettestand.com

portrayed Frankenstein’s Monster in Grauer’s staging of “Frankenstein” in November.
By Staff
ENCINITAS — The Grauer School’s theater arts department recently performed Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein,” which will celebrate 207 years on New Year’s Day 2025.
Inspired by a challenge from Lord Byron, “Frankenstein” was published on Jan. 1, 1818.
Grauer School high school students performed the adaptation of the classic story in November.
The visual and performing arts department collaborated to showcase the students’ talents from various disciplines. While theater students took center stage, acting in and directing the performances, the visual arts students brought the world of the play to life by crafting props and designing set pieces.
The film studies department filmed the performance so that it could be shared with the broader community. Behind the scenes, the audio-visual department played a crucial role in ensuring that each performance was technically flawless, managing the lighting and sound to create the perfect atmosphere for every moment of the show.
According to Erin Langen, theater arts teacher, the story of Frankenstein was ahead of its time with its understanding of both the benefits and dangers that come with creating something new.
“It showed the importance of creating a human connection so that the creation still had a soul and heart,” Langen said. “These same benefits and dangers are being explored now with new creations made from artificial intelligence and engineering and the lessons from Frankenstein should be explored with these new technologies.”
Learn more about The Grauer School by attending an upcoming Discover Grauer Tour, open to interested students and families. The next tour is Tuesday, Jan. 14 from 9:15 to 10:30 a.m.

REGION — The average price of a gallon of selfserve regular gasoline in San Diego County dropped fourtenths of a cent Wednesday to $4.454, a day after rising two-tenths of a cent. It has dropped 15 times in 17 days.
The average price dropped 7.7 over the previous 17 days, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information.
The average price is 2.5 cents less than one week ago, 7 cents lower than one month ago and 30.6 cents below what it was one year ago. It has dropped $1.981 since rising to a record $6.435 on Oct. 5, 2022.
The national average price rose for the third day in a row, increasing fourtenths of a cent to $3.034. It is 1.4 cents more than one week ago, but 3.7 cents less than one month ago and 3.2 cents lower than one year ago.
SAXONY is Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s pet of the week. She is a 3-year-old, 8-pound, female domestic short hair cat with a blue and white coat.
with dogs and without children under 8 years old.
Edinburgh’s adoption fee is $429 plus a $36 microchip fee. He has been altered and is up-to-date on all of his vaccinations.
Saxony was at a crowded local shelter partner with her two kittens. The family was transferred to RCHS via Friends of County Animal Shelters.
Saxony’s kittens have been adopted and she needs a new home. She is cautious when she meets new people but warms up quickly. Saxony loves when people pet her once she feels comfortable with them, but she doesn’t care to be held.
The $100 adoption fee includes medical exam, spay, up-to-date vaccinations and registered microchip.
For more information, stop by RCHS at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas, call 760-753-6413 or visit www.SDpets.org. The kennels and cattery are open to the public 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day but Tuesday.
EDINBURGH, a 5-month-old Catahoula leopard dog, is Helen Woodward Animal Center’s pet of the week.
HWAC is at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe. Kennels are open seven days a week: Monday-Thursday, noon to 6 p.m., and Friday-Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call 858-756-4117, extension #1, or visit animalcenter.org.
BREEZEY is the San Diego Humane Society’s pet of the week. She is a 5-yearold, 50-pound Siberian husky mix.
Breezey has the classic husky energy. She is up for adventure and fun, especially when playing with her toys. While she has lots of love to give, she can also be “mouthy” when excited, so a home without younger children is recommended. She has also chased a chicken or two, so a home without small animals, including cats, is preferred.
Edinburgh came to the animal center as a 10-week-old pup from Louisiana. Almost immediately, he charmed the staff with his playful personality.
Edinburgh likes walks, playing with toys and socializing with others. He would prefer a home with people who have experience
She has the occasional cough, which according to the Humane Society is not contagious but similar to a condition like asthma; it doesn’t slow her down.
Breezey is located at the Oceanside campus. Her adoption fee is $110.
Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, an incentive for pet insurance and a license for residence in most North County cities. For questions, visit sdhumane.org/adopt or call 619-299-7012.
t would be difficult to find a more beautiful drive in almost any season than the bucolic Fruit Loop, a 35-mile, north-south elliptical route that begins and ends in Hood River, Oregon. Besides the scenic, agricultural countryside, travelers can buy freshly picked or youpick produce and flowers from family farms and enjoy the stunning views of Mount Hood.
On a day in late September, we hit it big.
About a third of the way through The Loop, we rounded a corner and there it was: 11,249 feet of spectacular dormant volcano, still snow-frosted enough for brag-worthy photos. The view of Mount Hood only improved at the Mt. View Orchards & Grateful Vineyard. While a local musician paid tribute to the late Kris Kristofferson, we attacked an artful charcuterie plate, watched families romp against a backdrop of sunflowers, and absorbed the rays of the late afternoon sun. Because we were flying home, we were limited to what we could eat. Not so for
Danielle and Janna McKay and sons Ty and Max, who could carry home bucketsful of apples to their Portland home, 60 miles west. The Fruit Loop is a twice-a-year destination.
“We love the beautiful scenery, the family time we get together and the fresh fruit to take back home with us,” said Danielle, who grew up in Poway. “It’s turned into something we always look forward to.”
The Fruit Loop claims about 30 farms on 14,500 acres that do a brisk business on late summer and autumn weekends, but oddly (and happily), Highway 35 and Route 281 are uncrowded.
Our weekend headquarters was the family-owned Best Western Plus Hood River Inn (lots of amenities; affordably priced), which sits at the confluence of the Columbia and Hood rivers. The inn offers expansive views of the Hood River Bridge (cross it and you are in Washington), and an easy route along the meandering Shoreline Path to Hood River’s picturesque downtown.
Take the 15- to 20-minute walk and chances are you’ll see kiteboarders, kitesurfers, windsurfers and crazy people who fly what looks like motorized paragliders. Air pressure differences and the collision
of hot and cool air on this the stretch of the Columbia River make conditions ideal for these daredevil pursuits, and hotel guests get frontrow seats.
Also along the Shoreline Path: The History Museum of Hood River County, small but densely packed with artifacts, photos and exhibits that tell stories of the area’s diverse inhabitants and industries. Look for the giant, exterior paddlewheel.
Ten minutes from downtown: The Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum and its 400-plus collection of still-operating cars, airplanes, gliders, tractors and motorcycles dating from the
early 20th century and cultural artifacts from the '40s, '50s and '60s.
The day we visited, the sound of Model T engines reverberated across the expansive lawn as guests got driving lessons in Model T's. And a friendly docent allowed me to take a behind-the-ropes photo with an AT-6, the single-engine aircraft that my mother, as a member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), trained on during World War II.
Though Hood River’s population barely tops 8,400, the fare at numerous eateries and wineries is varied and creatively delicious. All offer gluten-free and
vegetarian options:
• Love & Hominy — Tacos unlike anything you know feature the exotic flavors of Vietnam, Hawaii, Thailand and Korea. TexMex, too, and poke bowls.
• Evoke Winery — Take a break in the downtown tasting room with the charcuterie plate and flights that rotate seasonally. Plenty of people-watching from the dog-friendly patio.
• Celilo — Muted-elegance setting in the heart of downtown where smoked salmon ravioli reigns supreme. Menus vary with the season and availability of local produce, meat and fish.
• Broder Øst — The traditional Scandinavian breakfast will keep you fueled all day. Musts: Danish pancakes (aebleskivers) and seasonal fritters.
• Riverside at Best Western Plus Hood River Inn – Stunning view of Columbia Gorge with food to match. Chef Mark DeRosa works magic with braised short loin and vongole pasta with clams and white wine sauce.
• Wy’East Vineyards — Named for the indigenous name for Mount Hood, sip offerings from this family farm from a shaded patio overlooking grazing rescued llamas. Bocce court available.

For the second year in a row, the San Diego County Water Authority and its partners have struck a deal to conserve water in Lake Mead, support the longterm sustainability of the Colorado River and save local ratepayers money.
The agreements between the Water Authority, the Imperial Irrigation District, and the Metropolitan Water District, with funding from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, are designed to promote voluntary water conservation. The 2024 agreement was announced during a meeting of the Colorado River Board of California at this year’s Colorado River Water Users Association’s conference in Las Vegas.
As a part of these deals, the Water Authority agreed to leave 50,000 acre-feet of water from its Quantification Settlement Agreement supplies in the Colorado River, helping California meet federal conservation goals.
The 2023 agreement between the three parties was the first of its kind. The 2024 deal will save San Diego County ratepayers approximately $20 million,
which will be applied to 2026 wholesale water rates.
“Water affordability is top of mind for everyone at the Water Authority, and this innovative strategy underscores our commitment to combat rising prices, sustain the Colorado River, and maintain water supply reliability that supports our economy and quality of life in San Diego County,” Water Authority Board Chair Nick Serrano said.
The Water Authority’s efforts are part of a larger commitment by California water users to protect the overtaxed Colorado River, including plans to save at least 400,000 more acrefeet in 2025 after conserving more than 1.2 million acrefeet over the last two years.
“It is really a model partnership and collaboration between states and local entities and the federal government,” said U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner M. Camille Calimlim Touton.
California’s efforts have led to the equivalent of 16 feet of water being added to Lake Mead in two years, providing much-needed stability to the entire river system as the seven Basin
states work with the federal government to create a post2026 operations plan for the river.
“Our collective achievements not only have made a profound impact on Lake Mead today, they also illustrate the can-do spirit that the Water Authority and our partners bring to future conservation work on the river,” said Colorado River Board Vice Chair and Water Authority Director Jim Madaffer. “We are both proud of what we have accomplished and committed to delivering additional solutions for the Southwest in the years ahead.”
The Colorado River Basin is the most important water source in the West, providing water for more than 40 million people and generating hydropower in seven U.S. states.
The Water Authority will continue to pursue other water transfers and exchanges to maximize the value of San Diego County’s water resources and minimize the cost to local ratepayers. Those steps include budget cuts, project deferrals, debt refinancing, increasing grant funds and restructuring rates.
