Solana Highlands residents face displacement

and was shocked.

By Laura Place SOLANA BEACH —

When Alicia Campos moved with her mother, daughter and three grandchildren into the Solana Highlands Apartments earlier this year, she hoped it would be somewhere her family could call a long-term home.

She had no idea at the time, back in March, that the owners of the complex were planning to demolish the building in the coming years and replace it newer, more expensive apartments that she and other residents would no longer be able to afford, essentially remov ing their chances of living in Solana Beach.

Now, Campos and her family are among hundreds of residents set to be pushed out of Solana Highlands by mid-2023 for a massive ren

ovation project that will do away with the 198 existing units, which many describe as “naturally affordable,” and replace them with a 260-unit complex with 32

designated affordable units for seniors.

Residents began re ceiving notice in June of 2022 that they would need to move out within the year,

with the demolition of the building and construction expected around next fall. Campos said she heard about the planned demoli tion through the grapevine

“When we moved in, they didn’t tell us,” Campos said, noting the apartment is conveniently close to her job at UC San Diego and her grandkids’ three schools. “I look around at other apart ments, and they have a long waiting list, like a Santa Claus list. It's not going to be so easy to go and rent an other place.”

The H.G. Fenton Com pany purchased the prop erty at Nardo and Stevens avenues in 1998, fostering plans to redevelop the So lana Highlands Apartments for years. In 2018, the So lana Beach City Council approved the proposed demolition of the existing building and the construc tion of 260 new units, which is now set to take place next year.

Douglas departs top job

SDUHSD

loses its fourth chief admin since ’21

By Laura Place

ENCINITAS — The San Dieguito Union High School District will soon be without a designat ed superintendent once again.

Interim Superinten dent Tina Douglas, who was appointed to the po sition in April following the dismissal of Cheryl JamesWard, no tified the district board of trustees last Friday that she would be resigning as superintendent and returning to her former position as Associate Su perintendent of Business Services effective next month.

Her decision comes the day after the board failed to approve a mo tion to appoint John Addelman to take over Douglas’s business ser vices role on an interim basis, a request intended to alleviate the double workload on Douglas and fill holes in the district’s executive cabinet.

While the district has been using a con sultant to help with the business services role, Douglas said it hasn’t been enough.

Other members of the district’s executive leadership are similarly overwhelmed, she added.

“I can’t do both jobs. In essence, that’s why the request is here,” Douglas told the board at their Thursday meeting.

“Without this, I honestly don’t know what I would do, because I just can’t.”

ROTARY CLUB OF CARLSBAD

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— Once every month, a group of in dividuals passionate about restoring Oceanside’s san dy beaches walk the entire stretch of the city’s coast line to measure the move ment of sand and document noticeable changes.

All of the data collect ed by “citizen scientists” of Save Oceanside Sand, a local advocacy group, are transferred back to Adam Young’s lab at the Scripps Institution of Oceanogra phy. There, scientists can study the data to better un derstand what is happening to Oceanside’s sand.

Citizen science is when members of the public col lect and analyze data in col laboration with professional scientists. Serena Milne and Bob Ashton started the Save Oceanside Sand citizen sci ence project in partnership with Scripps in late 2020.

According to Ashton, Oceanside’s coastline is bro ken into 60 transects or lines along which observations are made. For 11 months, the group measured the height and contour of the beach at every other tran sect using equipment bor rowed from Scripps.

Due to technical issues, measuring sand was put on hold until October, when the group received new equipment from Scripps that allowed them to start monitoring the coastline.

In the last two months, Milne and Ashton have been learning how to oper ate the new equipment with Connor Mack, a future doc toral student working for Young’s lab at Scripps.

The new equipment includes a new global navi gation satellite system and real-time kinematic receiv er that works much more ef ficiently than the previous device.

“The receiver is mea suring position in XYZ coordinates, so they trace the same cross shore lines going from the back of the beach to the water,” Mack said. “We can look at how and where the Z value, or height, is changing.”

The group takes these measurements at 30 lines (every other transect), each spaced about 200 meters up

and down the coastline.

“The data is fed live as we’re going up and down the beach, not uploaded lat er,” Ashton said.

Other than measuring the height of sand, citizen scientists have also been taking pictures of signifi cant changes they notice each month.

“We happened to start noticing all kinds of differ ent features… we saw cob bles here or sand there, ero sion berms, sand shoals off the shore,” said Milne, who

has a doctorate in geology. “So we started to record them.”

One exciting change the group noticed was a 25-foot-tall cobble berm that was there one month and gone the next.

“There was no heavy equipment on the beach,” Ashton said. “This was just mother nature moving things around.”

Over the decades, mother nature has swept more and more of Oceans ide’s sand from its shores

further down the coastline. Save Oceanside Sand, a more than 400-member lo cal advocacy group is work ing to preserve the city’s sandy beaches.

By collecting more data about Oceanside's coastline, the findings can point to best practices for prevent ing the loss of sand.

“The more information we have, the better deci sions we can make,” Milne said.

City leaders working on solutions to replenish and retain sand on Oceanside’s beaches can also benefit from the information found through the citizen science project.

“The citizen science that SOS is working on is re ally important to the city’s next endeavors as we’re working on the Beach Sand Nourishment and Retention System,” said Oceanside Coastal Zone Administrator Jayme Timberlake.

Save Oceanside Sand pushed the city to create the coastal zone administrator position last year to provide support and further coor dination and management relating to Oceanside’s coastal-related programs. Timberlake was hired after serving as the coastal zone program administrator for Encinitas.

“They’re a real asset to the city by helping encour age coastal management with a new holistic per

spective,” Timberlake said about the group.

According to Timber lake, the city is gearing up for the second phase of its sand replenishment and re tention project, which will develop a beach monitoring program. The plan is to de termine a consistent source of sand and what type of re tention device – like an arti ficial reef or groins – could be deployed to prevent the sand from being washed away.

Beyond following Save Oceanside Sand's beach monitoring project, Timber lake has also worked with two other citizen science efforts – CoastSnap, which relies on repeated photos of the coast taken by the general public to see how things change over time, and SandSnap, which in vites the public to take pic

tures of the sand grain size in comparison to coins for scientists to measure.

Deploying citizen sci ence tactics gets more boots on the ground — or toes in the sand — collecting valu able data for scientists to analyze.

The next step for Save Oceanside Sand is to in vite more high school stu dents from El Camino and Oceanside to participate in the beach monitoring proj ect.

Ashton said the group is working with the county to potentially obtain grant money for an additional set of equipment, which would open up more opportuni ties for students and other interested citizen scientists to participate and collect even more helpful data about what is happening to Oceanside’s sand.

Oceanside mulls raising in-lieu fees

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— The City Council will soon de cide on raising in-lieu fees for developers who don't meet the minimum thresh old of affordable units in a housing project.

A split majority of the Planning Commission voted in support of the staff’s rec ommendation on Nov. 21 to make several changes to its Inclusionary Housing Ordi nance, including raising the city’s in-lieu fee rate from $8.96 to $15 per square foot.

The ordinance, which serves as a tool for the city to help meet its regional and state housing goals, requires developers building resi dential projects with three or more units must reserve 10% of those units for low or moderate income residents.

However, a developer may opt to pay an in-lieu fee as an alternative to building more affordable units.

The proposal, which would nearly double the current in-lieu fee rate, will happen over a two-year phase by raising the price in the first year to $10 and then to $15 the second year.

Prior to the Planning Commission’s recommen dation, the city's Housing Commission recommended raising the in-lieu fees to $25 per square foot with out a phased approach. The Housing Commission also recommended increasing the term of affordability from the standard 55 years to 99 years.

An analysis by consul tant David Paul Rosen & As sociates justified increasing the in-lieu fees to between $30 and $45 per square foot. According to city staff, cur rent in-lieu fees in North County range from $15 in Carlsbad to $32 in Del Mar.

While some commis sioners were amenable to increasing the in-lieu rate to $25, the majority of com missioners opted to go with

staff’s recommendation.

Commissioners Louise Balma, Thomas Morrissey, Jeff Symons and Susan Custer voted in support of supporting staff’s recom mendations while Tom Ro sales, Kevin Dodds and Jay Malik voted no.

The overall goal of the Inclusionary Housing Ordi nance is to encourage devel opers to build more afford able housing throughout the city.

“We can’t just rely on people who can afford to stay here,” Dodds said. “We need to do more.”

Oceanside follows Carlsbad, which increased its in-lieu fees to $15 per square foot earlier this year.

The ordinance also al lows other alternatives to developers like joint ven tures of multiple parties, purchasing of credits in another development, and purchasing and rehabili tating existing market rate housing. Staff also recom mended additional changes to the ordinance, such as ADUs and preserving exist ing affordable housing set to expire, as more alternatives for developers to build new affordable units.

“The current ordinance doesn’t provide a lot of pathways to building more affordable housing,” said Housing and Neighborhood Services Director Leilani Hines.

Staff is also recom mending zoning and code amendment changes that would remove concessions to residential projects that are larger than the city’s base density as the State Density Bonus Law now covers them.

“We want our Inclusion ary Housing to be consistent with all of the different pro grams that are out there and consistent with state law,” Hines said.

The City Council will decide on the changes Dec. 7.

Carlsbad advances

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — The city is moving forward with a pair of widening projects along El Camino Real in a final push to meet standards outlined in its general plan.

The Carlsbad City Council approved a pair of resolutions during its Nov. 15 meeting to allow city staff to negotiate with prop erty owners to acquire land for construction easements.

The projects are from Sunny Creek Road, south of Cannon Road, to Jackspar Drive, and from Poinsettia Lane to Camino Vida Roble, just south of the Carlsbad Unified School District of fice.

Both projects will wid en the northbound lanes to alleviate congestion and meet city standards.

“In this case, to the best of my knowledge, the project has been expedited for construction,” said Hos sein Ajideh, the city’s engi neering manager. “That’s why the city is moving for

ward with local funds. If the owner agrees to a price, we would return to the City Council for approval.”

Mayor Matt Hall voted against the Jackspar proj ect, as described by staff in its report, which would seek $3 million-$4 million from the city’s General Fund.

During the meeting, staff did not mention oth er possible funding sourc es for the project, such as SANDAG or federal grants, which left the mayor puz zled as to why privately owned properties would not be responsible for covering those costs.

According to Hall, the city has required develop ers to pay for these types of projects for decades as a condition of construction. City records show federal grants and Transnet funds would help cover millions for these projects.

The Cinnabar Way land and its estimated fair mar ket price are $260,000, per the staff report, while the

other project is valued at $127,000. Hall said these two projects, plus a stretch along El Camino Real south of Aviara Parkway, are the last three road widening projects.

Paz Gomez, director of Public Works, and Ajideh said the projects had been scheduled within the Capi tal Improvements Program for several years due to de ficiencies in roadway capac ity.

“This is the city initi ating,” Gomez said. “A de veloper did not come to us and state it’s a condition of approval.”

However, according to Jeff Murphy, director of community development, another reason the city ap peared willing to expend its own funds for the Jackspar project stemmed from the city’s housing element up date.

Last year, the city con tacted property owners with undeveloped land to gauge their interest in increasing housing density on their lot. The owner along the Jackspar Drive property de clined and the city adopted its two housing maps with out the site to avoid poten tial delays.

Parents seek accountability amid swim teacher’s sex abuse case

San Marcos swim school under fire for handling of situation

By Laura Place

SAN MARCOS — In the weeks since news broke about sexual abuse charges against a former instructor at Callan Swim School, par ents of past students as well as former staff members say the San Marcos school should face consequences for putting children in po tential harm’s way.

Nicholas Piazza, 19, is facing two charges of child sexual abuse, one related to an alleged incident in July 2021 while Piazza was working at Callan and an other when he was working as a private swim instructor in Rancho Santa Fe in Sep tember of this year.

Piazza was arrested on the first charge in October 2021, but was released on bail and later prohibited from working with or being around children. He was arrested again in Septem ber of this year following reports from the second accuser and is being held without bail.

The San Diego Coun ty District Attorney’s Of fice plans to pursue these charges in one trial, with the next hearing scheduled for Dec. 6.

The parent of Piazza’s alleged 2021 victim has also filed a separate civil law suit against Callan Swim School, claiming that they

ignored “sexual deviance” shown by Piazza as early as 2020.

While Piazza appeared to stop working at Callan in October 2021 following his first arrest, the families he worked with did not know anything about his charges until around a month ago and said staff at the school would explain away his pe riodic disappearances pri or to his arrest and after wards.

“I was super frustrat ed, because we weren’t told, they were not transparent,” said Ashley (not her real name), a parent whose son was taught by Piazza at Cal

lan for several months in 2021. “It was just, the level of dishonesty was shock ing.”

Different stories

Parents of Callan stu dents as well as former employees told The Coast News that they recall Pi azza being pulled from the pool sometime from late July to early August 2021, but that he was back in the pool by mid-August and into September.

Court documents indi cate that around this time in 2021, detectives were investigating the first case of alleged child sex abuse

by Piazza and had advised swim school owner Brett Callan to pull Piazza out of the water in early August. However, court documents state that Piazza was back in the pool within a week.

“They told me he was out of the water because of COVID,” said Kimber ley Palmer, who worked at Callan during the summer of 2021. “Then they said he tested negative and said he was allowed to go back in, but I had no idea that he was doing that to students.”

Palmer, who typically worked summers at Callan in between school semes ters, said she only learned

what happened when news of his second arrest came out last month, and that it disturbed her.

“It broke my entire heart,” she said. “For the owner and Nick’s mom to know exactly what’s hap pening, and put him back willingly around those kids, what the f---- are you think ing?” she said.

Ashley recalled Piazza briefly being gone around August with little expla nation and then resuming lessons with her son until October. She was told by then-pool manager Larissa Oden — Piazza’s mother — that Piazza had left to focus

on his firefighting career. Ashley said Oden then went on to take over lessons for her son.

Oden did not respond to requests for comment from The Coast News.

After Piazza left Cal lan, Ashley said he texted her in May 2022 to offer pri vate lessons for her son over the summer. In the texts, shared with The Coast News, Piazza states “[I] definitely am still teach ing as a private instructor” and that he “would be more than happy to do privates for you guys.”

She declined at the time, but said she still trust ed him enough that she did refer some of her friends to him.

When she learned about the charges against him, Ashley said she couldn’t believe it, and then felt panic set in thinking that something could have happened to her son.

“Initially, it was just like disbelief. I was like, this has got to be some kind of joke, this can’t be right. I feel like we knew him, we saw him twice a week for several months. And on top of that, having his mom then [as an instructor] for the following year … I felt like we knew them,” she said.

Finding out that Cal lan officials had allowed Piazza back in the pool in 2021 after being told about the abuse investigation was

Light the Way to a Brighter Holiday for Kids

There’s no better time to be a kid than during the holidays.

Fun with friends and family, sweet treats everywhere, hugs from grandma and grandpa and, of course, lots of presents.

The magic of the season can be hard to find for some families who are spending their holidays in the hospital, however. They are counting on Rady Children’s Hos pital-San Diego to be there, not only to provide life-saving med ical care, but to deliver holiday cheer during a challenging time.

Parents Jamie and Joe know what it’s like to spend countless hours in a hospital room. When the San Diegans pass by Rady Children’s these days and look up to where their son, Joey, received life-saving care—not once, but twice—it’s no longer just a hospi tal. It’s a place of healing.

“Without having or know ing a sick child receiving care at Rady Children’s, it’s easy to drive by thinking it’s just anoth er building,” Jamie said. “Having been there many nights at Joey’s bedside, we know this hospital is so much more.

There are children inside fighting for their lives through every one of those windows and there are wonderful people help ing provide them hope and heal ing.”

Born with Down syndrome, Joey has endured treatment for pulmonary hypertension and bravely battled leukemia—all be fore the age of 6. Unfortunately, children diagnosed with Down

syndrome bear a higher risk of developing pulmonary hyperten sion and later developing acute myeloid leukemia, a serious can cer of the blood and bone marrow.

dren’s has grown to be the largest children’s hospital on the West Coast and one of the nation’s top pediatric health care systems, serving more than 90 percent of the kids in the community. The Hospital is home to a team of world-class experts and caregiv ers, innovative research and the finest and most compassionate patient care.

Thankfully, Joe and Jamie could count on Rady Children’s to be there.

And, in the spirit of the sea son, Rady Children’s is counting on the San Diego community to support kids spending their hol

idays in the Hospital.

By joining the Hospital’s annual holiday fundraising cam paign, Light the Way, supporters can show kids and families that they aren’t alone. Light the Way ensures that sick and injured children have a holiday season to look forward to — presents on holidays, milestones throughout the season, festive holiday deco rations and support for parents.

Light the Way features the Hospital’s signature seasonal events. There’s outdoor ice skat ing at the Rady Children’s Hos pital Ice Rink at Liberty Station, benefitting the Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at the Hospital.

Rady Children’s patients and their families share incredible stories of hope and healing on the radio during the iHeart Rady Children’s Giveathon. And one of the most recognizable holiday events at the Hospital, the 5th annual Light the Way Parade of Lights, is put on for the hundreds of sick or injured children who are spending the holidays in the hospital.

Rady Children’s has been there through the decades for hundreds of families just like Joe, Jamie and Joey. Established as a polio hospital in 1954, Rady Chil

San Luis Rey River Park

By Jim Desmond

As your County Supervisor, I sup port opportunities that promote the health and well-being of residents in North County. Going back to my time as mayor, I’ve been a big sup porter of creating parks and trails.

Coming soon to North County is the fully connect ed San Luis Rey River Park that will run approximately 9 miles along the San Luis Rey River, south of state Route 76, from Oceanside to Interstate 15.

The San Luis Rey River Park will create a dynamic

open space legacy balanc ing recreation and pres ervation, restoration and interpretation of the San Luis Rey River’s outstand ing biological and cultural resources.

The park will have ac tive and passive recreation nodes, a network of multiuse trails, preserved open space and staging areas.

This will be a wonder ful asset for North County.

Currently there are three active projects with in the San Luis Rey River Park, including the Bonsall Community Park and the Rio Prado Park that may in clude traditional park ame

Is this a democracy or a coup?

Dear Editor, The returning mem bers of the Encinitas City Council — all three ap pointed without being elected by the residents — naturally want to ap point the successor to may or-elect Tony Kranz’s soonto-be vacant seat rather than allow the residents to

They and the former mayor cite the estimated $200,000 cost of an elec tion. Horrors!

This from a City Coun cil that overpaid by mil lions of our dollars for a still-vacant school building eight years ago.

Avoid a holiday tragedy

The holiday season comes with family gath erings, social time with friends and office parties. These joyful events can lead to life-altering conse quences, like drunken driv ing.

When I was 16 years old in 1992, a drunken driver hit me.

I had a four-month coma, broken bones, paraly sis and brain injuries.

My gait and speech are affected and I lost my driv ing and hearing abilities. For 30-plus years, I read lips and cannot enjoy holiday music anymore.

I always loved the cheer and lights of the hol

iday season. I would enjoy “December Nights” at Bal boa Park in San Diego.

Unfortunately, I would be unable to fully hear the holiday music and people

nities like ballfields and playgrounds.

The Middle trail is also underway and will provide 1.5 miles of trails from the Bonsall bridge through the right-of-way of SR-76.

Stay up-to-date on the project’s progress and find more information at www. sdparks.org.

As always, if we can be of assistance or answer any questions, my team and I can be reached at (619) 5315555 or via email at Jim. Desmond@sdcounty.ca.gov.

Legislature must fix definition of ‘violent’

Words matter, we often hear in this conten tious political era when politicians fre quently say things and then deny they meant what their words said.

Words also matter in the California penal code, where the label “violent” is not thrown around as much as it obviously should be.

That tag currently is not applied to many crimes most people with common sense know are violent. Some examples in clude assault with a dead ly weapon, soliciting mur der, elder and child abuse, arson, human trafficking, plus some forms of rape and forced sodomy.

All are obviously vio lent, until it comes to sen tencing someone who has committed one of more of these crimes.

This has mattered a lot since the 2016 passage of Proposition 57, a pet project of then-Gov. Jerry Brown, who desperately wanted to clear thousands of convicts out of the state’s prison system.

His initiative, passed by a 64%-36% margin (al most 2-1), allows inmates whose crimes are not le gally defined as violent to win early parole in ex change for good behavior and other achievements like earning college de grees.

No one knew in 2016 what the exact conse quences would be. But po lice chiefs warned at the time that one result would be more violent crime.

This from a City Coun cil that oversaw a Leucadia Streetscape cost overrun of $30 million and count ing. Three appointees is enough.

Is this a democracy or a coup?

talking well.

Drunken drivers in jure lives many ways, and I know.

Planning to take I-5 to attend a holiday gathering? Make smart decisions now if you plan to drink: Don’t drive drunk.

Law enforcement and I urge you to have a sober friend, taxi, etc. drive you to and from this location.

My message to drive sober will never get old be cause it saves lives. Having a sober driver is a superb way to begin 2023.

Happy Holidays.

Lori Martin Tracy, California

So part of the Propo sition 57 campaign was a commitment by state legis lators to expand the list of crimes considered violent. But like many other things promised by politicians, that never happened.

One result was a gang shootout that killed six and left 12 persons injured last April in Sacramento.

It eventually emerged that one of the murder suspects in that case, bearing the rather iron ic nickname “Smiley” Martin, had spent a mere four years in prison, de spite a 10-year sentence for domestic violence and assault to commit great bodily injury — both considered “nonviolent” crimes under this state’s penal code — but not by many others.

Even though Prop. 57 had been the project of liberals in the Legis lature, the April episode caught enough attention from leftist Attorney Gen eral Rob Bonta to get him interested in having the Legislature at last follow up on its 2016 pledge to expand the list of formally defined violent crimes.

Bonta, a former Demo cratic Assemblyman from Alameda who supported

california focus

tom elias

Prop. 57, told a reporter last fall, “Domestic vio lence, human trafficking, rape of an unconscious person — all of those should be discussed and potentially changed under whatever the appropriate means is for Prop. 57.

“I think if people are asked, ‘Is this a violent crime? Or is it not a vio lent crime?’ I think peo ple will say, ‘It’s a violent crime,’ so I think those should be considered for change.”

So should some oth ers, like assault with a deadly weapon, soliciting murder and forced sod omy, among others.

It is, in short, high time to make California law and rules of imprison ment line up with common sense.

For there’s a lot more to the crime problems Prop. 57 has caused than merely the Sacramento gunfight.

One report presented to Orange County super visors about one year af ter the initiative passed claimed that one-fourth of the first 8,000 felons released back into that county under prison re alignment furthered by 57 were convicted of anoth er crime in the year after their discharge.

That rate just about matched prior recidivism, which some took to mean that both 57 and the re classification of many crimes from felonies to misdemeanors under the previous Proposition 47 did not increase crime.

And yet … some crimes have risen sharply.

In San Francisco, car bur glaries and other property crimes rose by 667 cases per 100,000 population in just the first year of 57. There were similar in creases in Long Beach and Los Angeles.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic saw a respite in rising crime rates, they’ve recently been going up more.

These realities are the reason the state’s As sociation of Deputy Dis trict Attorneys has called 57 a “full-fledged assault on public safety.”

The way to begin fix ing that is for legislators now coming into a new ses sion to start reclassifying obviously violent crimes as what they really are, and stop allowing early releases for many of the most dangerous convicts.

who have lived there for at least 12 months, has ceased all lease-break fees and will give priority to current residents at the company’s other properties throughout the county, a company rep resentative said.

“We understand cur rent apartment residents’ lives will be impacted, and we take the responsibility of being their partner to heart,” said Margie New man Tsay, an H.G. Fenton spokesperson. “This is why we have been working handin-hand to understand the greater community need, and each resident’s experi ence and what being of ser vice means to them during their relocation.”

Current residents in terested in moving into the new Solana Highlands apartments upon comple tion will also be given prior ity, according to Tsay.

Solana Highlands has been a housing location for several of the city’s low-in come and Latino families in the otherwise mostly-white,

affluent beachside commu nity, where the average rent for a one-bedroom in Solana Beach is over $3,000 per Zumper. At Solana High lands, residents have found two bedrooms for around $2,700.

While some of the cur rent residents may be able to afford other housing in Solana Beach, Mayor Lee sa Heebner anticipates the new project will, unfortu nately, lead to many of the residents having to leave the city.

“It’s just kind of what’s happening these days, this gentrification. We’re losing a good portion of our val ued community, and you guys are stuck being those people we are unfortunate ly going to have to lose,” an emotional Heebner said to Solana Highlands residents at the City Council’s early November meeting.

Campos and her family and other Solana Highlands residents spoke to the coun cil about their impending displacement and the lack

of affordable housing in the area.

Maria Cardenas, Cam pos’ mother, said she has become accustomed to her life in Solana Beach, where she has her doctor nearby, is part of a senior citizen group and enjoys the tran quil safety of the city. She depends on SSI benefits for income and has limited op tions for housing.

Solana Highlands’ younger residents attend ing the nearby Skyline Ele mentary, Earl Warren Mid dle and Torrey Pines High schools said they don’t want to leave their friends and start over somewhere new.

“I’m doing good at school, so if I move, I'd probably have to find new friends and find new places to go to after school,” said Oscar, Campos’ grandson, who is getting ready to grad uate from Skyline to Earl Warren.

While Campos’ lease ends in March next year, she hopes to stay until at least May to allow her grandkids to finish the school year. After that, they may move to Escondido or San Ysidro,

where rents are more af fordable.

“This isn’t the end; it’s not a funeral. Something better will come,” Campos said. “I’m going to do every thing possible to keep my family here.”

City officials encour aged community members to reach out if they have or know of rental opportuni ties in the area where resi dents could relocate.

“I’m saddened by what’s happening to you, and I hope someone who’s listening might have an ADU or a space to rent to [these] members of our com munity who are good people and need some help,” said Councilwoman Jewel Ed son.

New and improved Solana Highlands

Despite the impacts on current residents, H.G. Fenton officials say that the revitalization is essential in the long term for making the complex sustainable.

“The revitalization of Solana Highlands will pro vide 260 new homes that

trustees Michael Allman and Maureen “Mo” Muir voting in favor.

will meet current code, en ergy efficiency standards, and enhanced amenities not currently found in the 198 existing units. This means we can offer improved longterm housing for genera tions to come,” Tsay said.

While the construction of new units means rental prices will likely be higher, the project will also bring 62 more units than what is currently offered at Solana Highlands, thanks to a den sity bonus granted from pro viding affordable units.

In this way, Tsay said, the project is also helping the city meet its projected housing need of 875 new units by 2029, as outlined in the San Diego Associa tion of Governments' most recent Regional Housing Needs Assessment.

The craftsman-style units in the new complex will be split into three “neighborhoods,” accord ing to H.G. Fenton. The de velopment will also include walking trails, increased parking, updated water, sewer and electrical infra structure and recreation facilities.

Since only three trust ees were present, action items required unanimous approval in order to pass.

Young explained that she preferred to delay the approval until the board’s December meeting, when the newly-elected full board would be in place, and to be able to make leadership adjustments for other overwhelmed depart ments in the district at the same time.

She referenced the re cent departure of Deputy Superintendent Mark Mill er, who accepted a job in the Fullerton Joint Union High School District, and gaps in the Human Resourc es department.

“I think when I look at those contracts, there are also others that are shoul dering extra burdens,” Young said. “Looking at district leadership through an equity lens, I want to have a discussion about how to shore up all of the depart ments, and not just one.”

Douglas stated in her Friday letter that she is willing to remain in her in terim superintendent posi tion through the next board meeting on Dec. 13, if need ed.

At that meeting, the new board made up of Rimga Viskanta, Jane Lea Smith and Phan Ander son along with Allman and Young will discuss initiat ing a search for a perma nent superintendent re placement.

even more unbelievable.

“Callan, they knew, they knew what they were doing. They put all of our kids in danger,” Ashley said.

Even after her son stopped working at Callan following his charges, Oden herself continued to work as general manager until around late September of this year, according to par ents whose children were taking lessons at Callan at the time.

Raquel Smith, whose daughter took lessons con tinually at Callan from late 2020 up until they pulled out of the school in Octo ber, said Oden was essen tially in charge of the en tire school and that owner Brett Callan was rarely onsite.

“He is never, ever, ever, ever there. Larissa ran the show. It is her swim school,” Smith said. “She was the face of Callan, she made the schedule, she ran the whole thing.”

Weeks after the news came out regarding Piaz za’s abuse both at and outside of Callan, Smith re ceived a voicemail from the school that acknowl edged that a former employee was facing charges of criminal activity involving a minor.

However, the Oct. 23 voicemail obtained by The Coast News stated, “To be clear, Nicholas Piazza was not working for Callan Swim School at the time that this event allegedly occurred,” and made no mention of his previous child sex abuse charge re lated to a Callan student from a year prior. Smith found this dishonest.

“They were claiming he was never employed when either of the alle gations happened against him,” she said.

Previous red flags

While the District At torney’s Office is not pur suing charges against the school at this time, the civ il lawsuit filed by the par ent of Piazza’s 2021 accuser states that the school re

tained Piazza as an employ ee despite earlier red flags preceding her son’s abuse.

In the suit, filed in mid-October, the parent claims that Piazza faced criminal charges in Octo ber 2020 related to “per forming a sexual act with the family dog” during the time he was working at Callan, and was allowed to be rehired months later.

“Callan Swim School holds itself out to patrons as ‘the safest place for your child to learn to swim,’” the suit states. “Yet it knowing ly employed and exposed countless children to a sexual predator, which ul

azza was a minor.

An attorney represent ing Callan Swim School de nied the allegations in the lawsuit.

“We will be filing our responsive pleading in due course. For now, suffice it to say that we look forward to proving that the allega tions against Callan Swim Schools are not true and clearing the company and its owners’ names. In the meantime, the school will stay focused on providing the safest and best experi ence for our students and parents,” said attorney Da vid Baumgarten.

An attorney for Piazza

Callan ordered Piazza to be laid off through Janu ary 2021, at which time he was hired back after re ceiving a doctor’s note say ing it was safe for him to be around children.

“I was intimately aware of it because Larissa said I was her friend, and she was telling me he [Pi azza] had hashed out a deal with the DA to say that if he had no contact with police for a year, it would be expunged from his re cord,” Moreno said.

The suit also refer ences a report made by a parent in early 2020 that Piazza had told her child to “reach toward his gen itals” during a swim les son. Moreno has previously stated that the parent did not want to pursue charges and instead moved her child to another instructor, but that she informed Brett Callan about the incident.

A hearing for the civil case has been scheduled for March 2023.

Anyone whose child may have been abused by Piazza is urged to call the Sheriff’s Child Abuse Unit at 858-285-6293 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 888-580-8477.

‘Ashley’ Parent of student at Callan Swim School

Joan Marie Angela Dawson was born on Jan uary 12, 1937, in Bulwell, a small town in Notting ham, England. She was the daughter of Leslie Wood and Agnes Dawson.

At a very young age, Joan’s mother was diag nosed with tuberculosis and Joan was sent to live at Nazareth Orphanage where she was cared for by nuns.

Her mother would die from this terrible disease. Her father was overwhelmed and kept Joan at the orphanage and her younger brother, Raymond, at home.

Joan lived at Naza reth Orphanage through out World War II and until she was 18.

She came to the Unit ed States in 1958 to work as a nanny and as a huge fan of Doris Day.

With pride, Joan would tell how, as the President of the Doris Day fan club (presumably

in England), she met Do ris Day shortly after she arrived in the US.

As Joan would recall, Doris was lovely. Doris and her mother took Joan to tea and also invited Joan to visit her on the set of Calamity Jane. It was there Joan met Rock Hudson.

Joan spent much of her career as a nanny to many celebrities, includ ing Lucille Ball, Donna Reed, and Hugh Hefner. She would describe her self as a “proper British nanny.”

For a short time, she also worked as an assis tant to Julie Andrews. Joan called Ms. Andrews her idol because of the Mary Poppins role that Ms. Andrews played.

In her later years, she worked at Paramount on Hard Copy.

Joan was outgoing, friendly, and engaging. She regaled others with stories of her first few de cades in the US.

She was proud of her daughter, Glennis, and granddaughter, Gillian.

In the early morning hours on Saturday, No vember 5, Joan passed away in her sleep in Oceanside, California. She was 85 years old.

Mourning her are her daughter, Glennis Daw son and granddaughter Gillian Pleysier (Califor nia), and her brother Ray Dawson (Nottingham).

Services will be held privately for close family and friends.

Miller has seen MLB’s Winter Meetings evolve

Major League Baseball heads to San Diego on Monday, which has Carlsbad’s Scott Miller at the ready.

“Although you wonder if the MLB Winter Meetings are a little bit outdated,” Miller said. “Because they used to be fueled by emo tion.”

Miller, an author and a longtime, decorated base ball writer now with the New York Times, adds that the event’s juice once came via a social sparkler or two.

“You usually got the real scoops around 1 in the morning after the general managers and scouts had their whiskey or a few glass es of wine,” Miller, 59, said. “That is where you got the rumor stuff going.”

Like a long fly ball, those days are going, go ing, gone. When baseball’s brains kick off this year’s shindig, those downing numbers will eclipse those consuming beverages.

Instead of executives and scouts populating the hotel lobby bar for a pop during a hard day’s night, they stay logged on and tune out everyone else.

Now baseball is driven by analytics and not the big personalities that sought the winter meetings spot light, determined to make a significant move so their club could bathe in it, too.

There are countless tales of trades being con summated, late in the eve ning, after the teams’ gener al managers had quenched their thirsts.

“The meetings were more fun back in those days,” said Miller, who has also covered the San Diego Padres, Los Angeles An gels and Minnesota Twins. “It was back when you had general managers that were like gunslingers, and I’m thinking of the late Kevin Towers and Jack McKeon.”

Both former Padres GMs didn’t shy from mak ing a splash, bent on acquir ing talent and giving the ticket office a boost, too.

pitcher tossing a complete game.

Instead of leaving their hotel rooms to network and hatch ideas for trades and signings on the back of cocktail napkins, the young er baseball brass stays put. In declining to mingle, they lay low to crunch numbers with a mind-numbing re solve.

“The game has become way more corporate and analytical so there are no longer a lot of scouts at the meetings,” Miller said.

“They were the charac ters, the soul of the game, and for an old-school guy like me it’s sad that they are no longer there. Now it’s all the baseball analytic guys going over things up in their suites. You don’t see as many people, like scouts, downstairs anymore.”

Miller’s time this year at the meetings marks his 25th occasion of reporting on its developments. Over that span, he’s seldom eyed the Padres as he does now after they advanced to the National League Champion ship Series for the first time since 1998.

“With the Padres hav ing a pretty good core, it’s more about filling a couple of holes,” Miller said. “It used to be that they would bring a forklift, dump truck and try to rebuild.

“They can be really se lective in what they need. They got a solid pitching staff, but you never have enough pitching and they could probably use a corner outfielder.”

Miller’s tips are to monitor right-handed, freeagent Japanese pitching star Kodai Senga.

Encinitas, O’side turkey trots draw crowds

By Stephen Wyer

ENCINITAS — Nearly 5,000 people participated in this year’s 9th Encinitas Turkey Trot on Thanks giving Day, raising close to $15,000 for charitable causes.

The popular holiday run-walk event featured 10K and 5K races and a shorter run for children under 10.

The money raised through participation fees will go towards the Veter ans Association of North County and Boy Scouts of America Troop 776 in En cinitas, according to Steve Lebherz, president of Ex celerace, the event man agement company hosting the Encinitas Turkey Trot.

Since Excelerace has an anonymous foundation matching donations to the Thanksgiving event, the total raised by the tur key trot is likely around $25,000, Lebherz said.

“We’re supporting all our military and help ing them with Christmas preparations, especially for the active duty families on base; this pays for din ner for active duty families and contributes to gifts for kids of active duty people,” Lebherz said. “We find that our money really goes so much further with Veter ans Association of North County than any other or ganization in terms of help

ing these military mem bers and their families.”

Lebherz noted the smoothness of this year's event.

“The police depart ment, the city parks and recreation all helped make this event great,” Lebherz said. “I couldn't believe how pretty it was that morning, so we had the weather working for us, a good easy crowd and all. Some things hit right, and this one really did--it really worked out this year, and I couldn’t be happier.”

The 10th Encinitas Turkey Trot is scheduled next year on Thanksgiv ing Day, Nov. 23, featuring 10K, 5K, and children’s running events. To register and for more information on the Encinitas Turkey

Aztecs to play Middle Tennessee State in Hawaii Bowl

By City News Service

REGION — San Diego State announced Monday it has accepted an invitation to play in the Hawaii Bowl Dec. 24 to face Middle Ten nessee State in a matchup of 7-5 teams.

This will be the 12th time in 13 seasons the Az tecs will be playing in a bowl. They withdrew from consideration in the short ened 2020 COVID season.

San Diego State coach

Brady Hoke said at his reg ularly scheduled Monday news conference he was ex cited to have his team play in Hawaii.

“I haven't been to Ha waii in a while. The only times I’ve been is for foot ball games, so why not keep the streak going?” Hoke said. “Playing Middle Ten nessee State, they’re a good football team offensively. They will play with some tempo.”

Hoke said his team will spend “about six days” in Hawaii and “come right back” to San Diego the eve ning of the game.

This will be the first edition of the Hawaii Bowl to be played at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Com plex on the campus of the University of Hawaii. The game was played at Aloha Stadium from 2002 to 2019.

The game was canceled in 2020 because of the coro

navirus pandemic. The 2021 game was canceled after Hawaii withdrew due to in juries and COVID-19 issues.

The Aztecs lost to Air Force, 13-3, Saturday to end a three-game winning streak.

The Aztecs have a 7-8 record in bowl games in the Division I era, including a 38-24 victory over UTSA in the 2021 Frisco Bowl and a 42-7 victory over Cincinnati in the 2015 Hawaii Bowl.

Nearly 8,000 runners made waves at the 17th O’side Turkey Trot, the largest Thanksgiving Day running and walking event in San Diego County. Over the past two decades, the event has raised nearly $500,000 for local chari ties. This year, the holiday running event generated more than $25,000.

small talk

jean gillette

Many have sung the praises of being a grand ma. It took me a bit, but I finally under stand why.

I just got to spend three days taking care of my 4½-month-old grand daughter. Prior to that, I had only short, par ent-overseen visits with her and, as well-meaning as parents are, it’s hard for them to shift the responsi bility. I remember and un derstand that.

But once you are alone with this magical little per son, get to watch her eat, make sure she is burped, search for signs of chap ping as you change that diaper, hug her close, feel that soft skin, see her flash that precious smile at you and watch her sleep, things change.

I suppose it’s just bonding, but it is a oneof-a-kind bond. You begin to understand her subtle sounds and expressions, what her grunts and cooing mean. I don’t know about all grandmas, but I talk to her constantly and I’m quite sure she listens.

You discover what she likes and what she’s not real crazy about. You dis cover how she likes best to be held, that she loves to be in motion but can be a content creature just ly ing on her back kicking a hanging toy.

You relearn that her slipping into a howl can be swiftly derailed by a new location, position or a dia

per change. You learn that she really prefers to be na ked, thanks very much. It is a litany of small things that become calming and renewing.

I will admit, it had mo ments of boredom, since I am not accustomed to just doing mostly nothing with a speechless babe. But soon you learn how to fill those gaps with a world of music, games, walks and helping her practice sitting up.

Soon the day is seam less with repeated sleep and wake-up routines, feeding and pleasant awake time, knowing you have nowhere to go and nothing more important to do than adore this beauti ful child.

I have the added lux ury of having a happy grandbaby. She has her moments, as babies do, but her default mood is peace ful and curious.

It was the most relax ing time I have spent in years and I left feeling so full of love. It was joyful to just watch my son and daughter-in-law operating as a family, full of love and focus. Spending com fortable time with them as adults, in their normal rou tine, was a delight.

OK, truth. I was a lit tle terrified at taking on the grandma thing. Would I have the energy? Would I have the skills?

But, yes, it is like rid ing a bike. I can’t race up hills like I used to, but I slipped into the groove without much fuss. And that groove is my happy place.

Yep, I’ll take that grandma job, with the bo nuses built right in.

Entrepreneur, a former foster youth, gets boost

By Staff RANCHO SANTA FE

— Just in Time for Foster Youth (JIT) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to engaging a caring commu nity to help transition-age foster youth achieve self-suffi ciency and well-being.

JIT has partnered with a group of anonymous angel inves tors from the San Diego business community (entrepre neurs, publishers, CEOs) to provide a life-changing business investment to 24-year-old former foster youth Stephany Polanco.

Polanco was present ed with a check from Just in Time CEO Don Wells and angel investor repre sentative Mike Lamb Nov. 22 in Rancho Santa Fe.

Polanco pitched an original business plan for her company, Sweet Expe riences, at Just in Time’s annual Shark Tank compe tition in September.

Her business idea cou ples event planning and boutique baking to pro vide highly curated and intimate experiences for couples and small groups throughout the San Diego area.

She won third place at the Shark Tank compe tition, but that placement opened the door to an even greater opportunity — the chance to refine her business plan and access professional mentorship in the quest to win an ad ditional $20,000 worth of seed money from an anon ymous group of angel in vestors.

Over the course of two months, each youth com petitor committed to an in tensive coaching schedule with the angel investors — meeting weekly to dis cuss and expand upon all aspects of their business plans including strategy, finances, marketing, and liabilities.

In the end, Stepha ny rose above the other competitors to claim the $20,000 prize.

Receiving the gift of kneeboarding

water spot

chris ahrens

No surfers ever paid much attention to kneeboarding until Santa Barbara-born George Greenough slid into a long, hollow wave in Bruce Brown’s epic film, “The End less Summer.”

But even George’s fullspeed-ahead charge onto the big screen did little to dissuade anyone to abandon those stiff, 10-foot boards we rode in an upright position. Hynson, August, Strauch and Carson all saw to that, riding tall and elegant into the warmth of Bruce’s end less waves.

It would require a dis turbance in the force known as the “Shortboard Revo lution” to bring the knee board to prominence.

It was 1967 when Gree nough once again made waves by leading the way into shorter surfboards. By then George was living in Australia, where the coun try’s top surfers at that time — Nat Young, Wayne Lynch and Bob McTavish were being influenced by him in riding those beautiful Queensland point waves.

revolution brought in ma neuverability and the abil ity to stuff yourself more easily into the tube, it lost by discarding longer boards. Longboards had reached a peak before they were muti lated, stripped of their glass and reshaped into short boards.

I followed along with the herd until the mid’70s, when I again jumped onto a nine-six, eventually abandoning a board of that length again for one that would fit in the passenger seat of my car.

The first time I tried riding a kneeboard was in Maui, when my friend Chris loaned me the Gree nough-style spoon he had built in his garage. With no float or fins to propel me into a wave, I quickly aban doned the quest in favor of

adopting Santa letters from the web site. The USPS Operation Santa program encourages children to cre ate and submit their Santa wish list letters for poten tial “adoption” by anony mous gift givers. Details on how to write or adopt a Santa letter and a history of the program are available at USPSOperationSanta. com. Write to Santa Claus, 123 Elf Road, North Pole, 88888. Letters must be post marked by Dec. 12.

my 6’10” pintail that was destined for the insatiable jaws of Honolua Bay.

Even watching knee boarders Akio (don’t know his last name) and Buzz Blodgett get barreled at lowtide Swami’s did nothing to convince me to try knee boarding again.

That all changed when Artic Foam/Rubber Soul owner Marty Gilchrest made me a 5’8” single fin that brought me to my knees. (I did manage to stand on it once, although my effort was far from pret ty.) Instead, I enjoyed end less hours of pure joy, knee boarding on waves too steep for this old man to stand up on.

Pet of the Week

Snickersnee Smee is pet of the week at Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She’s a 7½-month-old, 27-pound, female terrier mix.

She was transferred to Rancho Coastal Hu mane Society through FO CAS (Friends of County Animal Shelters.) She was adopted, then returned when the family realized that she’s still very much a puppy.

The $145 adoption fee includes medical exam, spay, up-to-date vaccinations, registered microchip and a one-year license if the new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services.

On Thanksgiving morn ing, I patched a few holes, re finished the tips on the tail and prepared myself for the next time the waves showed themselves steep and hollow in my neighborhood.

That board will certain ly offer me more joy than any gift I am likely to get this holiday season. So, how do I thank Mark and Marty for what they have done for me? Maybe by fulfilling the one condition Mark insisted upon before handing it over.

Now, every day is Black Friday

It’s Black Friday, and I’m writing from the safety of my home.

Black Friday’s be come synonymous with Thanksgiving. The term de scribes hordes of shoppers who descended on 1950s Philadelphia the day after Thanksgiving. Taking ad vantage of increased traffic, city leaders promoted big sales and decorations ahead of that Saturday’s Army-Na vy football game.

With the trend now virtually everywhere, I’m assuming the stores are all insane. I have enough pres sure in my life, and shopping doesn’t make me feel merry.

So why must I volun tarily subject myself to that stress?

Many of my friends avoid Black Friday sales. Some stay home, watching movies and eating leftovers. Others meditate to alleviate holiday anxiety. Many do all their shopping online.

Interestingly, online sales started growing signifi cantly in mid-September. Anyone paying attention is asking why Black Friday’s gone from one day to the en tire last third of 2022.

ask mr. marketing rob weinberg

Shoppers are being cautious this year due to economic concerns. Many retailers are faced with re cord stockpiles of inventory, much caused by consumer shopping trends changing as the pandemic receded.

Some merchants initi ated holiday sales earlier to enable consumers to pay for more merchandise over time. Not wanting to be left out, major retailers like Am azon, Target and Walmart also began running early fall holiday savings.

Consumers will inev itably feel relieved of the “need” to get the best pric es on Black Friday. Seeing lower prices were available for months, they’ll start demanding lower prices al ways.

That, in turn, should force retailers to focus even more on better service. And

THERE’s your opportunity.

Because studies show customers increasingly want more human interaction as part of their buying process. Meaning whatever you sell, if you’re consistent with your prices and increase your customer service, you should be able to ride this wave and grow your sales year-round.

Of course, you’ll want to promote your year-round low prices and increase awareness of your human touch. And you’ll want to have other tricks up your sleeve as your competition realizes relying on Black Friday is an outdated way of boosting sales.

However, taking advan tage of these trends should help you celebrate Thanks giving all year long. And your customers, who no lon ger need to awaken at 4 a.m. to go shopping, will appreci ate the respect you’ve given their time.

With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

Fewer gifts this year? Give your kids more love

Parents hit hard by the struggling economy might wonder how to explain to their children why there ar en’t as many presents under the tree this year.

Christy Buchanan, pro fessor of psychology at Wake Forest University, reminds parents that “children, in their heart of hearts, don’t want a lot of things from their parents as much as they want love from them and time with them. In the long run, it’s love, shared time and quality interac tions that they’ll remem ber.”

“The problem is, we often express love through gifts,” says Buchanan, who studies parent-child rela tionships and teaches cours es on effective parent-child relations. “We worry they won’t feel loved if we don’t provide material things.”

She offers a few sugges tions for families who are cutting back this holiday season:

• Don’t be overly apolo getic for what children are not getting. Although it’s OK to acknowledge a child’s desires or even disappoint ment, parents should focus on the things for which the child and family can be grateful.

• Try to be upbeat and positive. Children are more likely to be positive if the parents are. Focus on the gift of time. Think about what the family can do to gether that is fun and memo rable, and treat it like a gift.

• Instead of going shop

ping, design time around what your kids enjoy, and make that special. Make plans to bake cookies and drink hot chocolate, play a favorite board game or shoot baskets at the park.

• Try to minimize ex posure to commercials and marketing.

• For younger children who expect Santa to bring lots of presents, small, inex pensive gifts like a ball or a game can be the basis for fun family time on Christ mas Day. Shift the focus to a group activity and away from items that may be miss ing from under the tree.

• For teenagers, things often become more import ant. But, teens also are old enough to understand when parents explain that mon ey for expensive items just isn’t in the family budget this year. For the items they most want, parents can work with them on a longer-term plan to save for those things.

• Parents should not make promises they cannot keep. Be honest with chil dren about what you can or cannot afford.

• If a family is having to cut back, a parent can use the opportunity to empha size that their relationships are the most important thing.

“It comes down to com munication,” Buchanan says. Parents can look for ways beyond presents to convey their love for their children

Plug in: Holiday electrical safety hints

The Electrical Safety Foundation International offers 12 Holiday Safety Tips to keep your home protected from household electrical fires during the season of decoration.

1. Keep decorations at least 3 feet away from heat sources -- especially those with an open flame, like fireplaces and candles. And remember to blow out your candles when you leave the room or go to sleep.

2. The best decorations are safe decorations, so when you are decorating, make sure not to run cords under rugs or furniture, out of windows, or across walkways and sidewalks.

3. If you have a natural Christmas tree water it to keep it fresh and safe. Real trees can dry up and turn into kindling in no time at all. Get rid of the tree af ter Christmas. Dried-out trees are a fire hazard and should not be left in the home or garage.

4. Always turn off your decorations when you leave your home and when you’re sleeping. Most deadly fires happen while people are asleep.

5. Be mindful of how you are using electrical outlets. If you’re using ex tension cords or adapters that add receptacles, con sider having a qualified electrician add more out lets to your home. Exten sion cords are a common cause of home fires.

6. Only use electronics in dry areas. As tempting as it is, you just can’t dec orate your aquarium with icicle lights.

7. Remember that phones and tablets should stay on your nightstand.

We all love falling asleep to the muffled crooning of Bing Crosby and Michael Bublé, but overheated elec tronics under pillows and blankets are dangerous.

8. Need a perfect gift idea? How about a smoke alarm? Every home needs a working smoke alarm in each bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on ev ery level, including the

basement. And remember to test your own to make sure they’re working.

9. If you’re using a space heater, switch it off before leaving the room. It only takes seconds for a fire to start if a space heater tips over or comes in contact with something combustible, like a blanket or curtains.

10. Inspect your dec

orations and discard any that are damaged or worn out. Talk to your aunt about that life-sized El vis-dressed-as-Santa stat ue — it’s falling apart, it’s creepy, it’s got to go.

11. Keep batteries stored safely in their pack aging and out of reach of anything that might try to eat them, like small chil dren and pets. Eating a battery can be deadly.

12. The best gift for your family is to upgrade to arc-fault circuit inter rupter breakers or outlets. It is estimated that half of the electrical fires that occur every year could be prevented by AFCIs. All upgrades should be com pleted by a qualified elec trician.

Not too early to think about spring planting

hostess gift to bring to a par ty, now is the time to start, or “force,” bulbs as holiday gifts.

City releases 250M gallons from reservoir

By City News Service

Fall is the time to think about spring.

Although that thought might seem a bit contradictory, I have spent the past month look ing over at the Netherland Bulb Company Catalogue for ideas for planting spring bulbs.

Here in Southern Cal ifornia, the choices are far greater than those in the Northeast, where I spent 30 years gardening. And the phrase always echoes in my head from all the professors of horticulture I had the pleasure of working with at SUNY Cobleskill College of Agriculture: “Choose the right plant for the right loca tion.”

What I have been learn ing over the past six years that I have lived here is that the Mediterranean climate that is prevalent in North County allows those of us with a small backyard, or a good collection of outdoor pottery, to plant colorful bulbs in November that be gin to bloom in January and continue into spring.

I have often been known to pull over on a side street in Carlsbad to pho tograph a local garden in January in which there are rows of daffodils. Only to ex

claim, “How can those bulbs be blooming in the winter time?”

Well, of course the an swer is the weather! With most locations in North County never reaching a freezing temperature, many bulbs will start their under ground growth as soon as they are planted.

IDENTIFY CORRECT BULBS FOR YOUR AREA

According to a 2008 Or ange County Register story: “Not all bulbs are true bulbs, such as daffodils are. Some so-called bulbs are sold as swollen-stem bases called corms — some are tu bers, some are below-ground

stems called rhizomes and some are root pieces. But they are treated as bulb plants because, as a clan, they gather the strength they need to bloom and store it in their underground ap paratus.

“And by the way, if you are into drought-tolerant or a Mediterranean style of gar dening, bulbs are appropri ate for your garden. Blame it on the Dutch bulb industry for making us think that bulbs want it lush. But many bulbs originated from areas with Mediterranean climate — dry summer followed by rainy, yet mild winter.”

A selection of bulbs that can be planted right now could include the more traditional fare including freesia, lilies, iris, ranun culus and daffodils. Tulips and crocus will succeed if pre-chilled. As most garden shoppers know, there is a wide selection of daffodils sold at all garden centers.

According to garden writer Pat Welsh: “Always purchase Grade A variet ies such as King Alfred, Ice Follies and February Gold. Many of these varieties will naturalize in our mild cli mate, which means that they will reproduce year after year and spread throughout your garden.”

South African bulbs to look for include Aztec Lily, Cyclamen, Crocosmia and Agapanthus. Green Thumb Nursery in San Marcos, and Anderson’s La Costa Nurs ery in Encinitas and Arm strong Garden Center in Carlsbad have a wide selec tion of fall bulbs.

The staff at both nurs eries can also direct you to the correct soil mixtures for planting bulbs in pots or a small garden.

GIVE A GIFT OF BULBS

If you have a gardener on your Christmas list, or are looking for an unusual

According to Marc Smith of Anderson’s La Cos ta Nursery, “We have a fresh selection of paperwhite nar cissus or varieties of Ama ryllis ready to be planted as a holiday gift. These are prechilled so they will bloom in six short weeks. The paper whites sell for $15 per dozen so they make the perfect gift!”

Choose healthy, plumb bulbs and purchase them as individual bulbs, as those that are available at Ander son’s. Many bulbs sold in bags can end up being soft ened or diseased when pur chased in big box stores.

FORCING PAPERWHITE BULBS FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Choose 3-5 bulbs that will fit into a deep decora tive bowl. The bowl should not have a hole in the bot tom and measure 6-9 inches in diameter and 3-4 inches high. Start this process six weeks before the holiday.

Fill the bowl with clean small pebbles to within 2 inches of the rim.

Gently push the bulbs into the pebbles so that they rest with half of the bulb ex posed.

Add water so that it barely touches the bulbs.

Place in a cool, dark place such as a cool garage.

Keep the bulbs in the garage for at least one week, until sprouts appear.

Once sprouts appear, place in a room with partial sun.

As bulbs begin to grow, turn each day so as not to become leggy. Water only when the water has evap orated. Tree branches or chopsticks can be added to provide support.

If you have planned cor rectly, your white flowers will open just in time for Christmas or Hanukkah!

I have given paperwhite narcissus bulbs to friends for years, and families with children especially love watching the quick growth. If you give them to your friends now, with printed instructions, they will be on their way to creating holi day décor.

REGION — The city of San Diego released around 250 million gal lons of water from Hodg es Reservoir into the San Dieguito River over a twoday period this week.

The water release, using valves in Hodges Dam, began Monday and is intended to reduce the reservoir's elevation by around 2 feet to 275 feet, according to the city.

For safety reasons, the California Division of Safety of Dams re quires that the water lev el at Hodges Reservoir be capped at 275 feet — 40 feet below the spillway. The dam captures water from the San Dieguito Watershed, which extends 248 square miles and is the largest watershed feeding city reservoirs.

“The city will con tinue to monitor weather forecasts, rainfall and the water level at Hodges Reservoir to determine if additional water releases need to be planned during the rainy season,” said Juan Guerreiro, director of the city’s public utili ties department.

To reduce the amount of water that must be re leased, the city is coordi nating with the Santa Fe Irrigation District and the San Dieguito Water Dis trict to maximize use by local water systems. The city is also coordinating operations with the San Diego County Water Au thority, the regional water wholesale agency, accord ing to the public utilities department.

A project to make re pairs at Hodges Dam has been ongoing since May. That project also requires a lower water level, ne cessitating the closure of boating and fishing at the reservoir.

Hodges Reservoir is normally closed to the public from November through February, but the San Dieguito River Park trails and facilities around Hodges Reservoir are open and have re mained open to the pub lic.

The repair work will likely continue into spring 2023, which means access may be limited moving forward.

Once again, Thanks giving marks the unofficial opening weekend for eggnog (egg nog is also acceptable). It is time for my annual rant against the gag-inducing hol iday cocktail of creamy alco holic milk, egg and booze.

But this year, I’m going to mix it up a bit.

As I was trying not to gag while filling my grocery basket with both non-alco holic and pre-mixed alcohol ic eggnog cocktails — one more example of how my love for my wife knows no bounds — I realized that despite my pure, unadulter ated disgust for this popular holiday concoction, I had not tasted any in many years.

With that realization came a crushing awareness, a thought, and frankly, a fear. What if I was wrong? There are plenty of foods and drinks that I once de spised but now delight in. Whiskey, broccoli, cauli flower, tequila, and fancy mustard, to name just a few.*

I am not a person who can turn back the clock. Once the cocktail glass of awareness has been broken in my brain, it cannot be re built. That is where you find me today. I’m in my favorite typing seat (the right side of the blue couch). There is a small measure of two egg nogs, one with alcohol and one without, in front of me. I am going to drink them. I think I am going to consume them. I have been sitting here looking at them for some time.

But first, an interlude for those who may have missed my previous annual rants.

Commonly accepted history credits the British for drinking a warm, cur dled milk, wine, and spice

for at least three hours, but I recom mend overnight.

drink called “posset” that evolved into eggnog in the Americas in the middle of the 1700s. The Brits, as we all know, are considered ex emplars of taste.

To make modern egg nog, you need eggs, egg whites, or yolks. The recipes vary. The eggs are whipped free of their sins until frothy and mixed with thick whip ping cream, milk, sugar, va nilla, and booze.

You might add spices that appeal to you to make it

your own. Add brandy, whis key, or even spiced or dark rum. Eggnog is best made in bulk, like paint or asbestos. Interlude over.

As a columnist, I’m given so many words each week. Every single one is like a child that I must love and nurture before putting out in the world. Every word in this column has been a servant to my procrastina tive nature because I really, really, really do not want to try this eggnog.

My arms feel like weighted blankets, and lifting them, grasping the glass, and bringing it to my lips seems no less a chal lenge than summiting Ev erest without oxygen. As I have said before, “Eggnog is gross. Prove me wrong.” Here goes.

Oh, son of a bean. Is that nutmeg? I love nutmeg. The non-alcoholic version is much, much sweeter than I recall. I can’t even taste the chicken placenta. It has very little scent despite the nutmeg and turmeric on the ingredient list.

Most importantly and shocking to me, I don’t hate it. I don’t love it, but, and this hurts in the core of my humanity, I can see the ap peal.

The Old Fashioned Egg Nog cocktail hits me in the mouth like a locomotive, and a boozy one at that. This par ticular drink was made with a mix of brandy and spiced rum.

The flavor is vaguely familiar, like Bailey’s Irish Cream liquor mixed with a generic purple cough medi

cine.

It smells like Christmas in a glass and has a slight caramel tint compared to the pure white of the straight ‘nog. It isn’t great, but I think that is due to the ratio of included alcohols, not the eggnog.

In conclusion, I hav en’t been proven entirely wrong, but it seems to be a case where I’m not entirely

correct. Please don’t tell my wife — a passionate imbiber of eggnog. I’ll never live this down.

* But not olives. Olives are still gross. High-five 9-year-old me.

Food, wine leaders help Storybook Ball assist military families

supporting our military. For our readers, please thank these amazing businesses the next time you have the privilege of using them.

to me to assist as a committee member, I was all in.

As a retired Navy offi cer with 23 years of service and knowing UTR's amaz ing work, I was excited and cautiously optimistic about reaching out to Taste of Wine & Food friends for do nations.

With both industries still in recovery after the pandemic, I was concerned that donations might be tough to come by. After briefing them on what UTR was about, I was lavished with donations to assist our soldiers, sailors, and their families.

As background, UTR keeps military families reading-ready, regardless of the distance separating family members. They stay connected through story time, video recordings, and books sent to them. These stories ease the stress of time apart due to military duty, maintain positive emotional connections and cultivate a love of reading and early childhood litera cy.

Service members and veterans can record a sto ry for their family at more

than 200 UTR recording locations worldwide and on their mobile devices using UTR’s free and secure read ing app.

Since 1989, 2.7 million military members and their families have benefited from the program.

Since 2007, Sally Ann Zoll has served as the orga nization's CEO, helping to build, grow, and sustain the program through technolo gy changes, the end of the war on terror and a global pandemic.

She led a team of re mote staff long before it was the norm and oversaw the launch of a mobile reading app that makes the UTR program accessible to all service members and veter ans, no matter where they are in the world.

Her commitment to mil itary-connected children’s education is always at the forefront of everything she does.

After 16 years of ser vice, Zoll retired this year. One of her favorite ways to reflect on her UTR accom plishments was with a glass of Rombauer Chardonnay.

With this knowledge, I knew that Rombauer’s di rector of marketing, Heath er McCarthy, whom I had the pleasure of meeting a few years back while visit ing the Rombauer Vineyard, would be able to assist.

“Military veterans and first responders are one of the pillars we give to each calendar year,” McCarthy said. “Our founder, Koern er Rombauer, has been re ferred to as ‘red, white and

blue through and through’ by many in the company. He flew for the California Air National Guard, and his grandson now serves in the United States Air Force.”

With this deep-seated commitment to our military, Rombauer was kind enough to discount wine for the event significantly. Attend ees could purchase Rom bauer Chardonnay for their tables or purchase bottles to donate to Zoll to thank her for her above-and-beyond service. Thank you, Heath er and Rombauer!

After reaching out to master winemaker Daniel Daou at Daou Family Es tates, he was kind enough to donate two certificates for Daou’s Exclusive Tast ing Experience that in cludes a vineyard tour,

One of the certificates and Soul of a Lion was part of the live auction that raised $3,000! Daniel, your love and generosity are un bounded. San Diego winer ies and eateries were also in on the action. Gianni Buono mo, Orfila and Coomber Craft Wines each donated winemaker tastings.

Thank you to wine makers Keith Rolle, An drew Wisniewski and Skip Coomber for taking time out of their busy schedules to share their winemaking stories.

Proprietor Sal Ercolano donated gift certificates for his Flora Bar & Kitchen and The Butcher Shop restau rants.

Victor Magalhaes, pro prietor of Vittorio’s Italian Trattoria, sponsored wine dinners for two for his monthly wine dinners.

Proprietor/executive chef Randy Smerik of So lare Ristorante donated a gift certificate for dinner at Solare.

Kary Favish, The Cros by Baker, donated a gift cer tificate for a lucky recipient to relax and let her ease the stress of the hustle and bus tle of holiday baking.

Lastly, thanks to Teri Bush, whom I met at The Butcher Shop’s Daou wine dinner, who donated a col lection of Longaberger bas kets.

I was genuinely hum bled by this outpouring that raised over $6,000 for UTR

I was also impressed with UTR’s Military Fam ily Leadership Award for insurance company USAA on its 100th anniversary of supporting military fami lies.

Even though the Story book Ball is in the rear mir ror, those wanting to sup port this fantastic cause can find more information at unitedthroughreading.org.

Tasting Notes: milk chocolate Price: $5

What I’m listening to: Fugees, “Ready or Not”

By Ryan Woldt

Did you know there was a coffee shop inside the Alila Marea Beach Re sort? I didn’t.

Recently, a wrong turn on the Google machine led me to the tip of Leucadia, where the Coffee Box is lo cated near the entrance to the resort.

The hotel’s entrance is quite intimidating. There is a lot of reflective glass and vertical lines skewing my perspective. Dudes in wraparound shades and windbreakers guard, I mean welcome, guests exiting the black SUVs and Teslas that keep pulling into the turn around.*

The welcoming crew all seem stuck in wide-legged stances, and every time I look over, one of them puts a hand up to their earpiece. To be fair to them, I look sketchy in my mustard yel low sweatshirt and climbing khakis.

By contrast, the Coffee Box seems quite open and accessible. You’ll have to walk between two impos ing concrete columns to get there, but that’s the end of the intimidation. Thick wooden patio tables with matching chairs fill the outdoor space, mostly shad ed mid-morning, save for a curved bench separating the cafe from the sidewalk. An expansive garage door is rolled up, and the walk-up window has been slid open.

Cross the threshold, and you’ll find yourself in a rectangular cafe space (a literal box) that reminds me of a container park cafe. Coffee is on the right, and an array of merchandise is on the left. Beyond the stan dard branded gear, you’ll find some resort-specific es sentials. Forgot your beach towel or sunscreen? They got you covered.

The coffee bar looks like any other coffee bar. There is an array of pastries, coffee mugs, and one of the tiny tablet point-of-sale sys tems that have replaced the old registers opening up countertops across America.

I ordered a batchbrewed drip coffee which is poured out of a tall ther mos. They exclusively serve locally roasted Lofty Coffee and even have Lofty Cold Brew on draft.

And now, a brief eco nomics interlude. I’m not often surprised by the price of a cup of coffee, but I was

at the Coffee Box. I forgot to account for a resort-style increase. I’m very much in favor of paying more for good coffee. For way too long, the price of a cup of coffee has been intentional ly depressed to benefit con sumers despite the hardship caused to producers.

Third wave coffee — arguably the wave we are currently in as we look to ward a future fourth wave — has done a great job of educating consumers on the challenging work being done by coffee farmers.

Paying more for a cup of coffee means that local roasters can also pay more for coffee from producers. That often means better working and living condi tions on the production side and better coffee.

All of that said, I was still surprised by the price

because Lofty Coffee is just down the street. The same cup of coffee is priced con siderably cheaper there, even though I know Lofty actively pays higher prices to try to uplift coffee pro ducers.**

My first sips of coffee are pretty nice — a taste of light milk chocolate and caramel seems to expand in my mouth. I’m not sure how to explain it other than

to say it feels rounded in my mouth. The flavors are subtle and calming, with a very light bitter zest pulling them together.

If I had to guess, I’d say this is Lofty’s Morning Dove blend, which serves as their house coffee. They blend Costa Rica and Guatema la beans to make a smooth, easy-drinking roast.

A concrete garden box houses a wall of snake

plants, adding warmth and life to the environs. A cute little succulent is also on the patio table to keep me company. Together we look out at the intersection and watch the cars go by.

There isn’t a lot of foot traffic outside of a few yogis stopping in to order lattes after a session at the beach. The chairs are pretty com fortable. I could probably sit here all day, maybe even fall asleep to the white noise of the highway and the reggae beats softly floating out the walk-up window.

I only don’t because the salty scent of ocean spray is in the air. I take my cof fee for a walk. We leave the safe confines of the cafe and head towards the street. I don’t look back. I can feel the eyes of the front door dudes drilling into my back. I’m sure they are waiting for me to make a move. I don’t realize I’m holding my breath until I turn around the corner. I’m safe out of the line of sight.

As lovely as the Cof fee Box patio was, it can’t compete with the view of the North County coastline

stretching out before me. I walk towards South Ponto Beach. A walking path leads down to an overlook and a stairwell to the sand. This is where you want to drink your coffee. The breeze is chilly off the ocean, but the sun and my cup of coffee keep me warm.

*The sliver of the moon shape of the resort is incred ibly deceptive. From the street, it looks like a mod ern, if small, boutique hotel. Wander around the corner, and you’ll be confronted with the sweeping enormi ty of the resort that curves around the South Ponto Beach parking lot — huge.

*There is no public parking (to my knowledge) at the Coffee Box. Look for street parking or beach parking nearby.

The claimant under said Notice of Delinquent Assessment heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to sell, in accordance with the provision to the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell which recorded on SHOWN ABOVE as Book SHOWN ABOVE as Instrument No. SHOWN ABOVE in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS:

If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call the phone number shown below in bold, using the Reference number assigned to this case on SHOWN ABOVE. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Notice, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid assessments secured by said Notice with interest thereon as provided in said Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Notice of Assessment and Claim of Lien.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Milton Freeman

A Petition for Probate has been filed by Connie Eakins, in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego.

The Petition for Probate requests that Connie Eakins be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

(This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: March 21, 2023;

Time: 11:00 AM; in Dept.: 504. Court address: 1100 Union St., San Diego CA 92101, Central Courthouse.

The MS Teams video conference links and phone numbers can be found at www.sdcourt.ca.gov/

ProbateHearings

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Which justice served on the Supreme Court for the longest?

KINGDOM: What kind of dogs did President Obama’s family have in the White House?

What is the rarest human blood type?

What is Harry Potter’s middle name?

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your work requires increased effort during the next few days. But it all will pay off down the line. Things ease up in time for weekend fun with family and/ or friends.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your genuine concern for others could prompt you to promise more than you can deliver. It’s best to modify your plans now before you wind up over committed later.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A situation that seems simple at first glance needs a more thorough assess ment before you give it your OK. Dig deeper for information that might be hidden from view.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

Careful: Right now, things might not be quite what they appear. Even the intuitive Crab could misread the signs. Get some solid facts before you act on your suspicions.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your energy levels are high, allowing you to complete those unfinished tasks before you decide to take on a new project. A social invitation could come from an unlikely source.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might think you’re helping, but unless you’re asked for a critique, don’t give it. If you are asked, watch what you say. Your words should be helpful, not hurtful.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your attempt at mediating dis putes might meet some opposition at first. But once you’re shown to be fair and impartial, resistance soon gives way to cooperation.

SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem ber 21) Go ahead. Reward yourself for helping settle a disturbing workplace situation. On another note: A person al relationship might be moving to a higher level.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A sudden change of heart by a colleague might create some momentary uncertainty. But stay with your original decision and, if necessary, defend it.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Rely on a combination of your sharp instincts along with some really intense information gath ering to help you make a possibly life-changing decision.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru ary 18) Instead of worrying if that new person in your life will stay or leave, spend all that energy on strengthen ing your relationship so it becomes walkout-resistant.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A sudden financial dry spell could reduce your cash flow to a trickle. But by conserving more and spending less, you’ll get through the crunch in good shape. BORN THIS WEEK: Your ability to keep secrets makes you the perfect confidante for friends, family and co-workers.

LabRats to open new STEM Discovery Center

CARLSBAD — With support from amazing com munity partners like Ting Internet, LabRats San Di ego is set to open its very own STEM Discovery Cen ter classroom in Carlsbad early next year.

LabRats San Diego is a non-profit organization that specializes in providing STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) en richment education oppor tunities for students from TK to 8th grade through out San Diego County. The non-profit also offers STEM work and teaching oppor tunities for high school stu dents as well.

Using its very own mo bile labs, LabRats has been traveling to schools and oth er learning centers all over San Diego. Three courses are offered based on grade levels K-2, 3-5 and 6-8 that cover a wide variety of top ics from physical and life sciences to STEM topics of the future such as coding, robotics and forensics.

All of LabRats’ course work meets the Next Gen eration Science Standards, which are content stan dards that set the expecta tions for what students in grades K-12 should know and be able to do. These standards were developed by states to improve science education in schools.

LabRats’ mission is to provide high-quality STEM enrichment education to all and especially those in

need.

Ting Internet has helped LabRats bring its STEM courses to schools across San Diego County since the high speed fiber internet provider became a presenting sponsor of the non-profit in 2021. Ting’s presence has grown in the coastal parts of North Coun ty in recent years, and with its growing presence the company also looks forward to investing in community growth.

The Ting Team high lighted how its communi ty goals include helping LabRats spread STEM ed ucation across San Diego

SAN MARCOS — Stu dents and staff at Cal State San Marcos may have been exposed to tuberculosis this fall semester, the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency announced on Nov. 23.

HHSA Public Health Services and CSUSM offi cials have worked together to identify and notify those who had a higher risk of ex posure to tuberculosis and will be providing no-cost testing to individuals at in creased risk for infection. The period of exposure was from Aug. 30 to Nov. 8.

“Symptoms of active TB include persistent cough, fever, night sweats and un explained weight loss,” said Dr. Wilma J. Wooten, county public health officer. “Most people who become infect ed after exposure to tuber culosis do not get sick right

away. Some who become in fected with tuberculosis will become ill at some point in the future, sometimes even years later.

“Blood tests and skin tests are effective to deter mine whether someone has been infected,” she said. “All those notified of a high

risk of exposure are encour aged to receive no-cost test ing.”

Tuberculosis is an airborne disease that is transmitted from person to person through inhala tion of the bacteria from the air, which are spread when someone sick with TB coughs, speaks, sings or breathes. people with fre quent and prolonged indoor exposure to a person who is sick with TB should get test ed.

Individuals who would like more information on the potential exposure can con tact Cal State San Marcos at csumasone@csusm.edu or the County TB Control Pro gram at 619-692-8621.

The number of annual TB cases in San Diego Coun

ty has decreased since the early 1990s and has stabi lized in recent years. There were 192 cases reported in 2020 and 201 cases in 2021. As of the end of October, a total of 150 cases have been reported this year. An esti mated 175,000 people in San Diego County have latent TB infection and are at risk for developing active TB with out preventive treatment.

County’s COVID hospitalizations rise to 286

The number of people hospitalized with a corona virus infection in San Diego County has risen to 286, ac cording to the latest state data released Tuesday.

State officials hadn’t updated their hospitaliza tion numbers since Thurs day’s Thanksgiving holi day, when there were 213 COVID-positive patients in county hospitals. Tuesday’s data also showed that 27 COVID patients are being treated in intensive care, an increase from 24 as of Thursday.

San Diego County has the second-highest total of COVID patients in Califor nia, behind Los Angeles County’s 1,040.

The statewide total of coronavirus patients bal looned to 3,532, an increase of 242 from the previous day and 750 more than last Thursday’s total, as the ex pected cold-weather surge in virus transmission con tinues.

Many patients entered the hospital for other rea sons and discovered they had COVID-19 after a man dated test.

Finding joy this holiday season

As I sat around the Thanksgiving table with loved ones and friends, I was taken aback by just how much love there was.

Behind the laughter and the joy, I also know there is grief and great pain but for just a moment, everyone was gathered, celebrating, and happy.

As the next holiday approaches as well as the new year, consider all of the things that you can cel ebrate and find joy in.

What are the things that you love, that energize you?

It is easy to get caught up in the to-do list, Christ mas shopping, work de

mands, and the busyness of life.

This holiday season I hope you can practice small moments of mindful ness.

The smell of your mom’s cooking, the twin kling lights, the soft paja mas, the warm and cozy nights, the delicious sweet cookies and salty snacks, and the sound of laughter, joy, and singing.

If you or someone you know needs a boost offer them a listening ear, a hug, something to eat, or your time.

There is so much joy in supporting one another through the small things of daily life. Your gift doesn’t have to be perfect, you are already amazing, and can offer so much if you just look within.

So for the sake of giv ing and finding joy this holiday season, here are some final tips.

Step back and reflect on the things you hear, see, smell, taste, and can touch.

Be grateful for the dai ly support in your life and the small things.

Check-in with the peo ple you care about and ask how they are.

Offer the gift of your time, or food versus a gift.

Help a friend or some one in need.

Leading urgent care providing quality care for over 15 years

Steven Schutz started Temecula 24 Hour Urgent Care with the goal of being there for his patients and meeting the needs of the community. His success has been unparalleled over the past 15 years, leading to the opening of the Carlsbad Ur gent Care Center-San Mar cos over seven years ago and then, this summer, opening Temecula Family Medicine to provide primary care to the community.

Scripps launches countywide lung cancer screening program

In an effort to improve early diagnosis for peo ple who are at increased risk for developing lung cancer, Scripps MD An derson Cancer Center has launched a comprehensive, multidisciplinary lung can cer screening program for residents across San Diego County.

The new program is open to people who meet current guidelines for an nual lung cancer screen ing.

The United States Preventive Services Task Force recently broadened its guidance to include adults starting at age 50 who have a 20 pack-year smoking history and either currently smoke or have quit in the past 15 years.

A 20 pack-year smok ing history equals smoking an average of one pack of cigarettes per day for 20 years.

“While early detec tion in lung cancer is crit ical, currently only about 20% of patients are diag nosed at an early stage, when treatments can be most effective,” said Ran cho Santa Fe resident Thomas Buchholz, medical director of Scripps MD An derson Cancer Center and a Scripps Clinic physician.

“But with screenings, this percentage can sig nificantly increase. Lung cancer is by far the lead ing cause of cancer-related deaths nationally, so hav ing a comprehensive pro

gram like ours staffed by a multidisciplinary team of specialists to detect it early can be a real game changer.”

According to the American Cancer Society, the five-year survival rate for the most common form of lung cancer (non-small cell lung cancer) is signifi cantly higher when diag nosed at an early, localized stage, as opposed to a later, distant stage.

The Jana Olipha nt Hackett Lung Cancer Screening Program is made possible through $2 million in lead philan thropic gifts — $1 million from Don and Julie Oliph ant of Rancho Santa Fe, and $1 million from Terry Hackett of Orange County.

While it’s important to screen people who have a significant smoking his tory, lung cancer can also develop in nonsmokers.

About 20% of lung can cer deaths occur in people who have never smoked, according to the ACS.

The trio of clinics are the passion of Mr. Schutz. Prior to opening Temecula 24-hour Urgent Care, Mr. Schutz was practicing pediat ric care. He quickly realized that afterhours urgent care was critical for the families in the Temecula Valley and surrounding communities.

Young children with fevers, runny noses, colds, sprained ankles, or ear aches would have to go to the emergency room and wait for hours just to be told all is okay. He wanted a better way to care for important medical concerns that need ed to be seen right away but not necessarily in the ER. Thus, with the support of his wife, Cassie Schutz, and oth er physicians who shared the same entrepreneurial spirit and passion for taking care of others, Temecula 24 Hour Urgent Care was born. As years passed, Mr. Schutz rec ognized a need for an urgent care in the San Marcos area and subsequently opened Carlsbad Urgent Care-San Marcos to fill that void in the community.

The dedicated team of providers at all locations are patient focused with ad vanced training to care for

a wide array of medical con cerns. While many medical organizations have shifted their focus away from the pa tient and towards technology, the everyday heroes at the Temecula and San Marcos clinics focus on delivering exemplary & compassionate patient care. Their emphasis on putting their patients first is why their patients love their clinics.

The medical staff has over 30 years’ experience and over 15 years in ur gent care. The caring and professional staff includes top-rated, board-certified physicians and Physician Assistants (PAs) who al ternate between the three locations. The team also in cludes Nurse Practitioners,

RNs, Medical Assistants, and X-Ray Techs, all who are top-notch with extensive medical experience in urgent care. The staff is equipped to provide treatment for colds, flus, chronic illness, broken bones, sprains, lacerations, physicals and much more.

With flu season here and a possible COVID-19 resurgence, the clinics are extremely experienced at treating covid, influenza, and other cold/flu causes. During the COVID shutdown, they never closed and worked tirelessly to ensure the com munity had the access to care and testing needed. Flu and COVID testing are available at each location. Patients can walk in to be seen, call or schedule an appointment

online via the websites. Cur rently, flu vaccines are avail able at a reduced price.

Each patient is in great hands with compassionate providers and the clinics’ state-of-the-art equipment. The team in San Marcos cares for patients seven days a week with extended busi ness hours. However, if a pa tient needs help after hours, the providers at Temecula 24 Hour Urgent Care can answer your questions. A dedicated Patient Advocacy Center helps resolve any in surance concerns, and on-site X-rays, on-site lab and on-site pharmacy offer patients full service.

Further, patients’ re cords are accessible by the providers at each location, making it convenient if the patient needs care in San Marcos or Temecula.

For more information on the services and top-notch ur gent cares, please visit www. SanMarcos.Care or www.Te mecula24HourUrgentCare. com, or visit either of their urgent care centers, in San Marcos at 295 S. Rancho Santa Fe and in Temecula at 41715 Winchester Road.

Temecula Family Medicine provides primary care ser vices to meet the demands of the community. Walk-in, call or book an appointment online at www.TemeculaFa milyMedicine.com
