Del Mar parking rates up

— The San Dieguito Union High School District recently approved an increased salary schedule for the district’s classified employees to align with the state’s new minimum wage requirements.

However, members of the Classified School Employees Association, or CSEA, said they want to see the district go above and beyond minimum wage for its employees, many of

whom are struggling financially.

“This hard work and commitment should not go unrecognized, and so it saddens and disappoints me that classified employees like myself and within San Dieguito Union High School District are even here talking about minimum wages because let us all recognize that the work we do, it’s not minimal,” said Roberta Blank, an

DEL MAR

— Residents of San Diego County’s smallest city will see paid parking costs increase for the first time in roughly seven years, with the maximum for hourly parking increasing by $1 and daily parking increasing by $5.

The California Coastal Commission conditionally approved proposed changes to Del Mar’s paid parking program on Feb. 9, allowing increases in maximum hourly rates from $3 to $4 and maximum daily costs from $15 to $20.

Del Mar’s proposal focused on increasing hourly parking rates in 422 existing paid parking spaces at prime coastal access points, including Via de la Valle, Camino Del Mar and 17th Street, to encourage parking space turnover and generate revenue to help the city recover costs of coastal public safety programs such as lifeguards.

However, the Coastal Development Permit approved by the commission was less than what the city staff hoped for. Del Mar officials initially requested raising the daily maximum from $15 to $25 — except the Trailhead Lot, where a maximum daily cost would be $20 — which the commission ultimately rejected.

Encinitas prioritizes pedestrian, bike projects

By Samantha Nelson

ENCINITAS — The City Council recently approved an implementation plan prioritizing the construction of several pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure projects throughout the city.

The Modal Alternatives Project, better known as MAP Encinitas, serves as the implementation plan to the city’s Active Transportation Plan, which established a network of biking and walking facilities and identified needed routes, gap closures, safety concerns and options for active transportation.

The top five prioritized bicycle projects include: Vulcan Avenue multi-use path from La Costa Avenue to Santa Fe Drive, which will cost an estimated $22 million; Quail Gardens Drive and Westlake Street bicycle lanes project valued around $7 million; Manchester Avenue bike lanes from Via Poco to Encinitas Boulevard at $5.7 million; San Elijo Avenue bike lanes and route project at $3.7 million, and the gap filling of bike lanes on Union Street, Hermes Avenue and Cereus Avenue at just over $45,000.

The top five prioritized pedestrian projects include: Leucadia Boulevard sidewalk infill project to the Beacon's Beach access at $3 million; Saxony Road sidewalk infill project at nearly $1 million; Coast Highway 101 sidewalk infill at nearly $600,000; Nardo Road sidewalk infill at nearly $800,000, and a pedestrian X-crossing at Encinitas Boulevard and Vulcan Avenue project at $1.1 million.

In 2020, the city received funding to develop MAP Encinitas through the Caltrans Sustainable Communities Grant and drafted a prioritized list of 35 bike and pedestrian projects reflecting the community’s desires.

MAP Encinitas does not include identifying new projects, rather simply prioritizing the projects already identified in the city’s ATP, which included 86.3 miles of proposed bike facilities and 25.1 miles of pedestrian facilities.

There are approximately 66.2 miles of bike facilities and 45.9 miles of

pedestrian facilities that currently remain to be built.

The city could leverage a variety of federal, state and regional grants to help pay for any of these projects, according to city consultants.

“There are a lot of funding opportunities for these projects,” said Roberto Ruiz of CR Associates at the Feb. 8 council meeting.

Residents generally supported the council’s approval of MAP Encinitas with a few additional suggestions to consider.

Former Encinitas council member Lisa Shaffer, coordinator at Encinitas Environmental Education (E3) Collaborative, highlighted the importance of improving bicycle and pedestrian safety in the Saxony Road and Quail Gardens Drive areas of the city, which she described as the “E3 district,” which is home to the San Diego Botanic Gardens, San Dieguito Heritage Museum, EUSD Farm Lab and other amenities.

“The E3 District is a focal point for the region and we want to be able to safely and easily come to work and play without adding traffic and parking impacts in an area slated for 700 new housing units,” Shaffer said.

Shaffer also requested the city work with the Botanic Gardens to complete the sidewalk on the west side of Quail Gardens Drive. The Botanic Gardens are open to relocating its fencing in that area to accommodate a walking path behind several big trees to connect the existing sidewalk amenities along that road.

Mayor Tony Kranz accepted the offering of sidewalk easement from the Gardens.

Shaffer also urged the city to use development impact fees from the new housing projects in that area to pay for the E3 District improvements.

The City Council unanimously approved the MAP Encinitas plan with additional direction for the city manager and staff to develop a timeline for additional community input and to bring back possible amendments by the end of the year.

Plans for rebuilding the lifeguard headquarters, which is nearing 80 years old, have been in the works for years, with city leaders determining in 2017 that the majority of the structure needed significant repairs. The City Council began working with San Diego-based domusstudio architecture on plans for the new building in 2018, with a design chosen the following year.

However, following a discussion of potential view impacts at their Feb. 8 meeting and input from concerned neighbors, the City Council directed city leaders to bring the plan back to the architects to be revised.

“I do feel it's extremely important for us to consider view blockages,” said Mayor Leesa Heebner. “I think it’s paramount that we do that —it's certainly not frivolous — and that we make sure that the needs are met but that we’re conservative in terms of our space utilization so that we don't block views to the greatest extent possible.”

The proposed two-story design would more than double the center’s size from its current 1,480 square feet to approximately 4,000 square feet and add an inverted butterfly-style roof to divert

water runoff from the receding bluffs and provide shade to residents enjoying a day at Fletcher Cove.

According to plans, the center would be used to house lifeguarding equipment and vehicles on the first floor as well as office space, open space and a new lookout tower on the second floor.

In April last year, the city installed story poles — vertical poles demonstrating the height of the planned structure — to discern any potential view blockage effects for neighboring residences and the community.

Nine residences, nearly all located in the Las Brisas Condominium complex,

have been in contact with the city with concerns that their ocean views would be affected. Many complaints focused mainly on the sprawling butterfly-style roof design for the complex, which spans wider than the base of the structure.

“Our view of the water would be totally wiped out, depending on the tide,” said resident Astrid Vaccaro.

Other residents said the redesign would also impact the wider public, which enjoys views from Fletcher Cove.

“This is not about an individual; it's really about the public,” said Ron Blumberg, who said he represented one of the residents whose views would be blocked. “We’re just here to hope that this can be rethought and not a single inch of sky or ocean that we currently see will be obstructed.”

California resists bullying on Colorado

There’s one word for what six of the seven southwestern states that draw water from the Colorado River are trying to do to California: bullying.

The good news for Californians is Gov. Gavin Newsom isn’t standing for it.

No, Newsom hasn’t directly called out the other six states involved (Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada) for their tactics. He’s let his appointee Wade Crowfoot, California secretary of natural resources, do the talking.

Will home prices drop?

By Bill Richard

As 2023 swings into full gear, San Diego’s real estate outlook is not as dire as some may believe.

Inflation, a recession and the economic downturn stemming from the pandemic are factors into why the market has cooled a bit, but it’s more of a market correction than real estate crash.

When analyzing the trends, there are several components to consider, such as the drop of the inflation rate from 9% to 7% and a recession not based on fraudulent mortgage loans.

That’s the big difference here. In 2008, the Great Recession was based on subprime mortgages, and we saw a global recession and economic devastation.

Now, there are many other factors contributing to a slowing economy and a decrease in real estate prices.

The war in Ukraine, supply chain issues, food shortages, and of course, interest rates at about 7%, although those will drop.

However, those factors will only contribute to a modest dip in the market as home prices correct to where they should be.

During 2020 and especially in 2021, the housing market went haywire. Prices soared and the movement was unsustainable as it was a seller’s market.

Our proprietary HomeDex market statistics for December 2022 show the median price for a home in San Diego County was still $849,500 but we are starting to see prices fall in some segments of the market.

The median prices for an attached home (condo/ townhome) have dropped 8% to $600,000, which will be welcome news for those looking to get into the mar-

ket.

But now conditions have turned, and the market has corrected. I see this as a natural correction to the overreaction of 202021 as inflation and interest rates will go down over the next 12 to 18 months.

Inflation will keep the prices where they currently are, while interest rates will see prices drop a bit and that conflict is the bottom and I believe prices will rise over the course of this year.

If not, sure we can expect a drop in home values; however, there is such demand for housing in San Diego it’s unlikely the region experiences an event like 2008. With mandated housing goals and a rush to build housing, the market is still on solid footing.

I expect prices to increase, and we return to

“multiple offers” by March at the earliest.

Another factor is 99% of homeowners across the country have an interest rate at 5% or lower.

They will not sell unless they can get an interest rate to meet their budget, which will impact prices.

One common question, is what do you think your home is going to be worth 10 years from now, more or less? I’ve yet to hear a homeowner say less in my 20-plus-year career.

San Diego still has, and always will, one of the most desirable markets in the county, if not the world. So fear not, the value of your home is safe.

But Newsom has a record of standing up to bullies, as in his attack ads during the last campaign season against both Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

Both insult California at every opportunity. Newsom fired back in mostly symbolic TV commercials, once calling DeSantis “Gov. DeathSantis” because his laissez faire COVID-19 polities probably resulted in tens of thousands more deaths from the pandemic than if he’d followed shutdown policies like Newsom’s.

The bullying this time comes from the other six Colorado River basin states, which want California to cut its use of the river’s water more than they would their own usage.

It’s a case of bullying, for sure, a matter of 6-1. With 12 U.S. senators to California’s two, the other six states have been louder. It’s also a case of several smallish tails trying to wag the big dog, California.

More than 20 million Californians depend directly on the Colorado, while the other six states total about that much population among them, not all using Colorado River water.

California usage impacts many more people than direct users of the river water, too, because it takes pressure off the state Water Project and cuts the threat of drawing water from wild Northern California rivers like the Trinity, Smith and Eel.

For sure, cuts are coming in water usage along the Colorado. That river’s two big reservoirs, Lake Mead and Lake Powell, stand at levels not seen since they opened in the early and mid-20th century.

The other six states want usage cut in part in proportion to how much water disappears en route to a particular state via seepage and evaporation. That puts most of the onus on California, because it’s nearly the end point of the river.

But California is insisting on its rights under the 1920s-era compact that governs the Colorado. And California is being consistent.

For example, this state

Without that water, authorized under the compact, Arizona would be far shy of its current 7.2 million population.

California figuratively sucked up its gut and relied more on internal supplies, including Sierra Nevada Mountains snowpack and underground aquifers.

Now the other states essentially want to scrap the old compact, their main argument seeming to be that they agree mistreating Californians would be terrific.

But Newsom is not standing for it, insisting the law is on California’s side.

The dispute could eventually harm Newsom politically, as swing states like Nevada, Arizona and Colorado could be important for him in a future presidential bid.

That’s not intimidating him.The first referee of all this will likely be President Biden’s Interior Department, which demanded an agreement among the states by late January. That did not happen. Now Biden is caught in the middle as he looks to a possible reelection run next year.

Does he alienate some “purple” states by causing new water rationing there, or does he go after big cuts in California, source of his largest bloc of electoral votes? Any reduced use would especially hit the largely agricultural Imperial Valley, which grows most of America’s winter lettuce, broccoli, melons, onions, carrots and spinach.

Reality is there will be slashes in Colorado River usage, despite heavy snowpack at the system’s Rocky Mountain headwaters. Snowmelt will not nearly refill the big reservoirs.

Newsom’s administration has proposed substantial cuts. Said Democratic California Sen. Alex Padilla, “Six other Western states dictating (what) California must give up isn’t a genuine consensus decision, especially (when) they haven’t offered any new cuts” of their own.

A preliminary decision will likely come by mid-summer.

Pacific Ridge students shoot the moon in NASA’S Hunch program

Group designing zero-gravity dice roller for space

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — A student’s family vacation to Huntsville, Alabama, has inspired a group of four Carlsbad high school students to launch their prototype hardware into space.

Pacific Ridge School students Chloe Kim, 16, Selina Carandang, 15, Jaden Cohen, 16, and David Leschensky, 15, are developing a zero-gravity dice roller through NASA’s Hunch program in hopes of easing astronauts' living conditions in space.

If the group passes its upcoming design review on March 6, the students will be invited to the finals in April at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

“When an astronaut

comes back from space, and they have suggestion … and it’s not a vital concept for a NASA engineer to work on, it will be outsourced to a high school like ours,” Leschensky said.

Leschensky said he was on a family trip to Huntsville and visited the

U.S. Space & Rocket Center, where he saw an advertisement for NASA’s Hunch program. The student contacted individuals at NASA to get more information and immediately started building a team.

Leschensky recruited classmates Kim, Ca-

County fair wins dozens of industry awards

By Staff DEL MAR — The San Diego County Fair’s Heroes ReUnite received 42 awards for excellence from two top fair industry associations, Del Mar Fairgrounds officials recently announced.

The 2022 San Diego County Fair won 10 awards from the International Association of Fairs and Expositions (IAFE) and 32 accolades from Western Fairs Association.

The awards were announced during the IAFE 2022 Virtual Awards Show, and the WFA 2023 Convention & Trade Show.

The fair associations developed these award programs to recognize

fairs excelling in their marketing, publicity, competitive exhibits, and agricultural education efforts, among others.

Entries are judged by panels of experts in their respective fields, based on creativity, use of theme, production excellence, best use of resources, highest level of innovation and other criteria.

“We are so very proud and honored to have been recognized by the fair industry for our team’s efforts in 2022,” said Carlene Moore, CEO at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “Summer starts at the San Diego County Fair, and we look forward to once again hosting this cherished an-

nual family tradition.”

The Fairgrounds received numerous first place awards at 2022 IAFE for promotions, advertisements, billboards and marketing materials. m

The Fairgrounds won several 2022 WFA awards for best community outreach program (Care ‘n Share Toy Drive); best overall fair marketing campaign (Heroes ReUnite!); best fair logo, radio, television and social media ads; best new competition (animal or still, chalk art), best nonprofit (Don Diego Scholarship Foundation), best photography competition (Give it Your Best Shot), among others.

randang and Cohen from the school’s robotics team for the project. First, the foursome reviewed the program’s requirements and areas of interest, settling on games and building a prototype to allow astronauts to “roll” dice in space.

Due to a lack of gravity in space, the challenge with board games using dice is obvious — the dice would never stop rolling. So, the group, gathering input from active astronauts and NASA engineers, devised its creation using applied force in a container in the shape of a spacecraft.

The astronauts shake the object and then push down on a plunger, or spring, to stop the dice from “rolling.” The bottom of the object is clear so the astronauts can read the dice.

Carandang said the dice could have any number of sides and use multiple dice.

“(Astronaut Eugene Gordon) didn’t like that in space, you couldn’t roll dice in space or using online dice simulators,” Cohen said. “(Gordon) wanted us to create a dice roller that would work in zero gravity.”

NASA’s Hunch program consists of 2,575 students from 277 schools in 44 states and has sent 1,340 items to the International Space Station. The project-based learning program is intended to develop innovative solutions to problems posed on the space station, according to the Hunch website.

These include design and prototype, software, hardware and biomedical science. For the Pacific Ridge students, games were an area they felt they could leverage their strengths and come up with a design that makes it into space, Cohen said.

Kim said while a dice

roller may seem insignificant on the surface, the team researched the positive impacts of dice games, such as teamwork, mental exercise, reduced anxiety and increased bonding.

The team also polled fellow high school students to get insight into dice rolling. According to the poll, 96% of respondents liked the feel of dice in their hands, watching the dice roll and anticipating the outcome.

“The project strives to encapsulate that feeling and excitement of rolling dice on a board game rather than clicking on a computer,” Kim said. “It’s like when you play a game on a Zoom call. Of course, it’s not as exciting.”

Alphana Hobbs, head of upper school and a computer science teacher, said he’s proud of the students for taking the initiative and being creative with an outside project.

Community clashes over LGBTQ books in Oceanside schools

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— Members of the Oceanside community clashed over recent demands for the school district to remove multiple books, several of which include LGBTQ themes and characters, from school libraries, claiming they are inappropriate for children.

Local groups and residents proposed banning a list of 11 books that reference LGBTQ topics, drug use, curse words and some sexual content at the Oceanside Unified School District's Feb. 7 board meeting and previous meeting in January.

The books include “Crank,” “All American Boys,” “The Hate U Give,” “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl,” “Ghost Boys,” All Boys Aren’t Blue,” “Boy Toy,” “Fun Home,” “Gender Queer,” “Queer: The Ultimate LGBT Guide for Teens” and “Anne Frank's Diary: The Graphic Adaptation.”

“Someone is going to get sexually assaulted on campus because of these books,” said resident Katie Taylor.

Many people opposed to the books also criticized the district for its inclusivity regarding LGBTQ students.

Metroflex Gym owner Louis Uridel, who made headlines after being arrested for keeping his gym open at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, called the board “groomers” for endorsing LGBTQ inclusivity.

“This woke ideology of inclusion has opened up the

floodgates to the absurd, and this absurdity threatens my kids and their future,” Uridel said.

Several community members who were there

to protest the books weren’t district residents or parents of students in the district.

Awaken Church, which has several campus locations throughout San Diego County but none in Oceanside, called its members to action days before the school board meeting to speak against the alleged “pornographic” books.

In response, many local supporters of the LGBTQ community attended the meeting and argued that the books shouldn’t be banned. Some OUSD teachers also spoke against the book ban suggestion.

South Oceanside Elementary fifth grade teacher Charles Finn related the book ban argument to the book burnings in Nazi Germany.

“The ideas that Nazis stood for are still with us. Nationwide groups like these have been attempting

to ban books to erase people those books represent and speak to,” Finn said. “Erasing the books won’t erase the people. Teachers and librarians have worked very hard to ensure there are books in our libraries that reflect the lives and experiences of everyone.”

She also explained the district’s policy that outlines how concerned staff, parents and district residents can request reconsideration of books present in the school libraries.

“I’m very proud of the work that Julie Vitale has done in the district for the four-plus years she’s been here,” said Trustee Mike Blessing. “I don’t have any reservations about how we’re moving in the district.”

Trustee Eleanor Evans also defended Vitale for having turned things around positively for the district during her time as superintendent.

“Dr. Vitale is a problem solver,” Evans said.

During her superintendent report, Vitale explained that four of the 11 books on the list were in the library before her and the

plaints on instructional materials only from staff, district residents, or parents and guardians of children enrolled in the school district,” Vitale said.

Parents can also specifically request for their children not to have access to certain books.

Max Disposti, director of the North County LGBTQ Resource Center, told the district his transgender child had to drop out of the Oceanside Unified School District a decade ago because it wasn’t safe back then.

Now, Disposti said, things have improved for the better in the community because of its LGBTQ inclusivity.

Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce celebrates 100th anniversary

By Steve Puterski CARLSBAD

— The Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce was started a century ago, and the sign on its first building simply read, “Carl.”

The chamber celebrated its 100th anniversary on Feb. 8 with more than 200 current members, staff and residents at its office on Priestly Drive in Carlsbad.

CEO Bret Schanzenbach said the event celebrated local history, noting the chamber is tied to the city's founding and subsequent growth over the past 100 years.

“In general, we act as a hub within the community,” he said. “We also interact with local and regional government, public safety, schools and the non-profit community. Our goal is to make a positive impact on all that we do. We see ourselves being engaged with everything of significance in this community.”

Sometime in 1923, the chamber formed, acting as the de facto city government before Carlsbad filed for articles of incorporation.

While not much is known about the chamber’s origins due to minimal record keeping, the organization built up businesses and helped with petitioning San Diego County to fix local infrastructure, Schanzenbach said.

In 1924, Luther Gage, the second chairman of the chamber’s board, is responsible for bringing the famed ranunculus flowers to Carlsbad, now made famous by the Flower Fields.

As the chamber’s popularity grew, more robust records show that meetings in 1926 attracted upward of 350 people to discuss local issues, such as tree trimming by the electric com-

that the city’s proposed costs were too high.

“Fees should generally be comparable to those charged at similar public facilities in the region; however, an analysis of parking prices in other Southern California cities reveals that Del Mar’s proposed increases are substantially higher,” a commission staff report read.

The state body also claimed the proposed rates were not consistent with the growth based on inflation since 2015. Increasing costs by the city’s proposed 3% CPI metric from 2015 to 2023 would bring the $3 hourly maximum to $3.80 and the $15 daily maximum to only $19.

“The Commission’s main concern regarding paid parking programs and restrictions on parking hours is that the operating parameters of such a program should not unreasonably interfere with the public’s ability to access the shoreline or discourage the use of public visitor and recreational facilities.”

The paid parking program changes required a Coastal Development Per-

pany, opening Kelly Slew to mitigate the smell, lobbying the U.S. Post Office Department for daily rural route service and producing a promotional pamphlet about the community, according to chamber records.

Years later, Oceanside failed to annex the coastline where the former Encina Power Plant was constructed. The Carlsbad Chamber saw the urgency to incorporate as a city and organized a referendum, lobbying residents to vote, Schanzenbach

said.

In a contentious and narrow decision, the residents voted 809-732 to establish the City of Carlsbad, according to city records.

In the 1950s, the chambers of commerce in Carlsbad, Oceanside and Vista coordinated to help establish Tri-City Medical Center.

“The chambers are the ones that came together and said, ‘We need healthcare,’” Schanzenbach said. “They led the charge to found TriCity Hospital District and

get the hospital open in 1961.”

As years passed, the chamber remained a small yet steady force in the city and would prove its strength again.

In 1991, American troops engaged in Desert Storm in Iraq, and the country’s economy hit a recession, especially Carlsbad, according to Carlton and Sandy Lund, two longtime chamber members with their real estate business, The Lund Team.

The Lunds said the city’s economy needed diversification and something big. So, the chamber and city spearheaded a letter-writing campaign to Lego headquarters in Denmark.

Sandy Lund said it was known Lego wanted a North American location for its theme park but had eyes on the East Coast. So, combined with the letters, Elaine Lyttleton, a former chairwoman of the chamber, rallied a delegation to visit Lego brass in Denmark, and they convinced Lego to select Carlsbad.

On June 7, 1994, the residents approved a ballot

the off-season and various holidays.

The conditional approval also struck down the city’s proposed four-hour limit on parking at the trailhead, except during special events at the Fairgrounds, and their request to be exempt from making and submitting paid parking monitoring reports.

The city must submit plans for its parking monitoring program and free beach parking program for low-income individuals to the commission before the city can implement the new costs, the commission said.

measure of 57%-43%. The park opened five years later and has become a staple of the city’s economy and a destination for residents and tourists alike.

“We wrote thousands of letters to Demark to get Legoland here,” Sandy Lund said. “It opened in 1999, which was a big deal for the city, especially economically. Because of that, the hotels came up.”

As the calendar turned int the 21st Century, the chamber experienced massive growth under the leadership of Ted Owen. Owen, publisher of the San Diego Business Journal, was recruited by Carlton Lund and others to take the reins as CEO with a mission of grow-

ing the chamber.

Owen’s work over his 15-year tenure proved fruitful, leading the chamber to become the second biggest in the county and one of the biggest in the state with more than 1,000 members.

Aroudn this time, Carlton Lund’s was envisioning a massive archway sign spread across Carlsbad Boulevard and Carlsbad Village Drive to replace a long-forgotten sign from the 1930s.

As part of his 14-year passion project, Carlton Lund secured a $225,000 donation from TaylorMade Golf Company, which was donated to the chamber. The iconic sign was installed on Dec. 29, 2014, with more than 5,000 in attendance.

mit because they are related to public coastal access. Del Mar officials said they would comply with the permit conditions but disagreed with the reasoning, claiming that they host far more visitors per year than other jurisdictions like Solana Beach, which the commission used as a comparison.

“The City of Del Mar hosts an exponentially higher number of beach visitors annually and has a much greater overall capacity of free parking than Solana Beach," Principal Planner Amanda Lee said. "The Del Mar beach accommodates millions of visitors

year-round, and most of Del Mar’s approximately 3-mile shoreline is easily accessible due to the capacity of free beach-level, on-street parking and beach access at each street end."

Lee added that the city’s proposed rates are much lower than that of nearby state beaches such as Torrey Pines.

A 30-cent fee will also be added to all credit card payments for paid parking, and costs will be allowed to increase by up to 3% each year based on inflation. The commission also required the city to have variable fees to keep parking costs below the maximum during

The proposal did not include changes to the existing 580 free parking spaces throughout the city or the addition of any new paid parking spaces. However, the commission required a small amount of existing paid spaces among Via de la Valle to become free spaces.

Del Mar’s revenue from paid parking, anticipated to total $1.35 million in the next fiscal year, is used to fund not only lifeguard operations but code enforcement, trash services, access management and facility maintenance and cleaning at the city’s beaches and parks, and various city capital projects, Lee said.

Padres banking on Tatis return

Spring has sprung for the Padres and their fired-up fans, the ones just now getting back from FanFest.

We jest, of course.

But the amazing turnout at Petco Park recently for a shakeand-smile session between the Padre faithful and the players was an eye-opener.

It’s clear that no one is sleeping on the Padres this year, not after a season, and offseason, to remember.

The Padres, who advanced to just their third National League Championship Series in franchise history in 2022, are rolling into their facility in Peoria, Arizona, to start preparations for a year that is loaded with anticipation and expectations.

With a star-laden roster with as much, if not more, talent than their dreaded rivals to the north, there’s no dodging the weight the Padres carry into 2023.

The window for their first title is open and nothing can go wrong, right?

If only it were that simple.

Every squad has blemishes, even one that added All-Star shortstop Xander Bogaerts this winter. The trick is covering the shortcomings with excellence in other spots, and it appears the Padres have enough stellar parts to do just that.

But the Padres going into camp with question marks is a Peoria tradition.

Before the first pitch on March 30, the opening day that we’re all itching for, the Padres, believe it or not, have some work to do.

First and foremost is someone that is usually front and center whether he’s playing or not.

Fernando Tatis Jr., despite having 20 more games to serve for cheating with drugs, is a full participant at camp.

Teammates, coaches and boosters are eager to learn if the onetime National League MVP candidate still has his juice.

Bad choice of words there but can Tatis, 24, replicate the performances that made him one of baseball’s most

Chiefs, Eagles deliver historic game of firsts

What a season! After 45,000 plays and nearly 300 NFL games, the quest for a world championship boiled down to one final matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII.

Since its inception in 1967, Super Bowl games have been crapshoot — sometimes you get a gem and other times a yawner. Over the years, Football’s Favorite Sunday has provided fans with some magical moments, but this year’s game had a different feel and lived up to the hype and excitement.

Lancer boys roll into playoffs

By Steve Puterski CARLSBAD —

The Carlsbad High School boys basketball team has been running and shooting its way to a league title and now has its sights set on a CIF Open Division championship.

The Lancers (23-5, 9-1) capped the regular season with a gritty 63-57 win over El Camino on Feb. 10 to win the Palomar League and grab the No. 2 seed in the CIF San Diego Sectional tournament. Carlsbad hosts No. 7 Torrey Pines at 7 p.m. on Feb. 17 and looks to win its second consecutive CIF title.

The Lancers play is reminiscent of up-tempo college teams in the 1990s, similar to Nolan Richardson’s famed Arkansas teams and his “40 Minutes of Hell,” deploying fullcourt presses and trapping defenses leading to transition offense and a 3-point shooting barrage.

“They know what to expect and how to execute what I want them to execute,” Carlsbad head coach Clark Allard said. “Five of our top six are returners and they’ve all played big minutes in big games and situations. We play fast. We don’t have a height advantage, so we try to turn people over before they get to the paint. We have really talented players.”

Leading the charge for the Lancers' offense is the one-two punch of sophomore sensation Jake Hall and junior Tony Duckett. The two guards are the leading scorers and primary playmakers for an offense averaging 78.4 points per game. Hall and Duckett average 26.4 and 18.3 points per game, respectively, senior Josh Shields averages 10 points per game and senior guard Cole Murray runs the offense with 6.3 assists

per game.

While opposing defenses focus on Hall and Dockett, the duo utilize the flow of the offense to create space and unleash their talents to light up the scoreboard.

“We both can get buckets,” Hall said of his and Duckett’s ability. “We play super-fast and I love playing like that. We’re all quick, we’re all super long.”

Carlsbad’s perimeter offense allows the Lancers to both shoot from beyond the arc and capitalize on favorable matchups in the paint. Defensively, the Lancers play an aggressive, man-to-man scheme based on applying constant pressure and forcing turnovers to quickly transition to offense.

Without a height advantage, trapping and pressure defense helps negate an opponent’s size, Allard said. Carlsbad’s defensive

ferocity has been a signature all season, allowing just 61.8 points and 12 steals per game.

But now the team is focused on repeating as champs and making a serious run in the state tournament. All Open Division teams qualifying for CIF automatically make the state tournament, but the CIF committee ultimately determines the division.

Last year, the Lancers lost 96-95 to Foothill in overtime in the second round of the CIF Division II tournament. The Falcons lost to Elk Grove in the boys’ basketball state championship game.

Allard, Hall and Dockett said they are leaning on that experience to earn a better result this season.

“We just need to stay sharp, run all our plays, playing well together and constantly getting better every day,” Dockett said of the Lancers’ playoff prep.

the AFL-NFL World Championship in the 1960s.

— The first time in 25 years that both teams started the game with touchdown drives.

— The first time The Kansas City Chiefs trailed in the entire playoffs.

— The first time the Philadelphia Eagles didn’t record a sack the entire season.

The betting spread opened up at -1.5 points for Philadelphia. Vegas was getting even action. Both teams were evenly matched, and a coin flip could have determined the outcome. Over $16 billion was bet on this game. That’s a billion with a “B.” The numbers were massive, but would the game hold true to the hype? Answer: Yes, and far beyond expectations.

Most notably, Super Bowl LVII was filled with several firsts that made this game memorable:

— First Super Bowl between two African American quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts.

— Youngest quarterbacks to play in a Super Bowl (Mahomes and Hurts). These talented signal callers remind me of Joe Montana (San Francisco 49ers) and Dan Marino (Miami Dolphins) meeting in Super Bowl XIX in 1985. At the time, Marino was just 23 years old. Marino and Montana were the first quarterbacks from the same hometown (Pittsburgh) in a Super Bowl.

— The first time in nine Super Bowls that a team won the game after winning the coin toss. (Last eight teams that won the opening coin toss, lost the Super Bowl)

— The first time the Kansas City Chiefs wore their white jerseys since

— The next time the Philadelphia Eagles beat Chiefs coach Andy Reid, a former Eagles coach, will be the first time.

— The first time a military flyover before kickoff consisted of all-female pilots.

— Patrick Mahomes was the first quarterback to throw for 5,000 yards and win a Super Bowl.

— The first time that two consecutive games were marred with penalties that significantly impacted the game’s outcome. (AFC Championship and Super Bowl LVII )

— After his Super Bowl performance, Jalen Hurts became the first quarterback to finish with more than 300 passing yards, 70 rushing yards and three rushing TDs in a game (regular or postseason).

Final Score: Kansas City 38, Philadelphia 35

Season Grade: B+ (The grade would be higher, but if you spend $800,000 on the grass, you better get it right. The field at Super Bowl LVII was ridiculous. You don’t paint it? Duh!)

Despite that shortcoming, this Super Bowl was an instant classic, and it’s been an excellent season for NFL fans (unless you’re a Broncos fan…) I look forward to seeing you next year for kickoff. By the way, when do the pitchers and catchers report?

Falcons girls wrestler pursues state amid personal loss

Aurora Hardy in hunt for state bid at Masters

By Jordan P. Ingram

REGION — Throughout a successful four-year wrestling career, Torrey Pines High School senior Aurora “Rory” Hardy has refused to let opponents or life circumstances pin her to the mat.

Hardy, the Falcons’ aggressive 170-pound folkstyle wrestler, has spent the past few weeks polishing her arsenal of takedowns, power halves and headand-arm throws — all with a broken finger — in preparation for this weekend’s state-qualifying CIF San Diego Section Girls Wrestling Masters Championships at Mission Hills High School.

Last month, Hardy’s world was flipped upside down by the unexpected loss of her mother, Christie, who died of cancer over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.

At the time of her mother’s death, Hardy was still processing the passing of her mentor and wrestling coach, Wes Lee Sr., the previous summer.

Lee Sr., who trained Hardy since her freshman season and guided her to last year’s CIF State Girls Wrestling Championships in Bakersfield, died of esophageal cancer last July.

After the loss of her only parent and with no family in California, Hardy concentrated on wrestling, finding solace and amity with her fellow grapplers on the vinyl mats covering the upper gymnasium floor at Torrey Pines.

“(Wrestling) is a great sport; it helped me out a lot and made going to school more tolerable,” Hardy told The Coast News. "And it’s a great place to make friends — basically, all of my friends have come from wrestling.”

She was immediately supported by her teammates and a group of enthusiastic Falcons wrestling coaches, including Martin Brown, Michael Bigrig, Paulo Dominic, Joe Lalone and

Wes Lee Jr., son of Hardy’s mentor.

In addition, friends and teammates started a GoFundMe, raising $15,000 to help Hardy with the daily expenses of living on her own.

“As a coach, it’s humbling to see wrestlers like Aurora — just a tough individual of the highest character and athletic ability,” Brown said. “She has been an absolute gem on the team. She’s gone through more than anyone should ever have to go through. And she’s still here, man.”

Hardy hasn’t wavered in her goal to reach the state tournament for a second straight year — and this time to finish on the winner’s podium.

This year, it’s Bakersfield or bust.

“After my junior year, I wanted to work even harder to surpass my goals and place at state,” Hardy said.

Learning the Ropes

Brown said Hardy, a four-year varsity wrestling letterman, quickly

embraced the sport while wrestling alongside former teammate Emily Sway, the most accomplished female wrestler in the school’s history.

Sway, a 5-foot, 101-pound wrestler and nationally ranked martial artist in judo and jiujitsu, was the first Torrey Pines wrestler — boy or girl — to compete in a state championship two years in a row.

“I always tried to take notes from (Sway) before she graduated,” Hardy said. “I weighed almost 180 pounds, and she was throwing me and not breaking a sweat. She was a real motivator. Since then, I’ve been trying to develop some of the moves she was doing.”

As a freshman, Hardy quickly proved to be a talented pupil of the sport. In 2020, Sway took second in her weight class (108) at di-

visionals.

Hardy, the 172-pound newcomer, also made the podium at CIF with a fourth-place finish.

“When Emily was a senior, Rory was a freshman and really got exposed to what it takes to be an elite wrestler,” Brown said. “(Hardy) just poured herself into this sport. She loves wrestling, and it was evident she wanted to be a great wrestler. By her junior year, it was clear Hardy was one of the best wrestlers in the county.”

Hardy continued to work hard under Lee Sr. As a junior, she won her weight class at divisionals and finished fourth at Masters, seemingly falling short of qualifying for state.

But the girl who took third contracted COVID-19, giving Hardy a chance to compete for a state wres-

tling title.

“Last season was a really successful year — nonstop working out, walking all the time,” Hardy said. “My junior year was a breeze until Masters, and then I got humbled a little bit.”

After a tough opening draw, Hardy lost by fall to Alex Lujan of Menlo-Atherton in the first round of the state championship.

Despite the loss, Hardy walked away feeling good

about her performance and future. By going to state, she experienced firsthand what it takes to win at the highest level of prep wrestling.

“At state, you have to be more careful about what you’re doing,” Hardy said. “At regionals, you can take the first shot and (your opponent) will usually fall. But at state, if you take the first shot, they’re just waiting for you. They are super protective and don’t want to make the first move.”

Queen of the Ring

Hardy entered her senior year as one of the best wrestlers in San Diego County and among the top 30 statewide.

During the regular season, she went 20-4 with 15 pins. Hardy won the Queen of the Lake girls wrestling tournament and finished third at the Goddess of Olympia and Queen of the Jungle tournaments. Brown attributes Hardy’s success to a number of talents in the ring.

“She’s a cerebral wrestler,” Brown said. “As a wrestler, you have to be able to think on your toes in high-intensity matches, but you also have to be aggressive — you can’t sit back and wait for things to happen. You have to chase the victory, and that’s what she does. Plus, she’s got a killer power half (wrestler performs half nelson and uses free hand to push opponents head into the mat). That’s one of the moves her opponents have to fear.”

At this year’s CIF divi-

Grin and bare it small talk

Enjoy one from the archives.

As my neck cramped up midday Friday, a light came on in my aching head. I remembered I had a lovely spa gift card just waiting to be used.

I was able to schedule a massage for that evening and began to plot my end-of-week bliss. I would arrive early and soak in the hot tub before my massage. Aaaaaaaah.

I drive up to the spa armed with bathing suit and card, but not sure where to park. The valets assured me they would happily take care of it gratis, but this required my madly rummaging through my overstuffed purse to find my plug-in car key for them.

In the process, my bathing suit was tossed aside and forgotten. I also knew I had no cash for a tip so I mentally began running through my options to obtain said cash before the night was over. So far, not relaxing.

Oblivious to my lost suit, I hiked the distance from valet kiosk to spa hoping for the best, still in high good humor. This always gets me in trouble.

As I waited for the check-in clerk, I could hear she was on the phone with a very annoyed client.

“Yes,” she assured her for the third time. “We will absolutely refund that, but I can’t do it today as the offices are closed. Yes, we are so sorry. Yes, it was definitely our fault. Yes, yes, yes.”

In a very poorly planned effort to be amusing, I raised my finger and pretended I was going to

push the phone button down. I meant to signal that I would take care of that annoying customer for her … ha, ha, ha.

The look of horror on the attendant’s face clearly indicated she actually thought I was going to do it, that she was horrified at the prospect and that she did not see even a shred of humor in my action. Oops.

She interpreted it as me being impatient for her to get off the phone. Double oops.

So I’m off on two wrong feet before I ever get in the door. Good times.

Ah well. I finally proceed into the spa maze and get my things into a locker, realizing as I shed clothing that my bathing suit was on my car seat somewhere in a far parking lot.

Now the inner debate begins. Do I go ahead into the hot tub sans suit or skip it altogether and sit staring at my hands for an hour?

Not being the least bit modest, but fearing I might terrify others, I struggle briefly and then decide to channel my inner Scandinavian and go for it.

I slip into the tub as unobtrusively as possible, curl up in a corner and try to relax.

Fat chance. I’m just not able to flaunt it. I stick it out for about 10 minutes, laughing out loud at myself, then make a clumsy effort to slip swiftly into my robe again, dragging it through several puddles in the process. Smooth.

The massage was heaven and made up for all my silliness, but I walked out still chuckling.

How long do you think it will take before staff stops talking about the weird, rude, naked broad? I’d like to go back.

‘Big John’ Haedrich, founder, owner of Tip Top Meats

CARLSBAD — John

“Big John” Hans Haedrich, a distinguished businessman, butcher, and community servant, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family and loved ones on Thursday, January 26, 2023.

He spent his final weeks under the care of his beloved family.

John was born on January 3, 1929, to Herman Haedrich and Martha Pohland in Germany. He grew up in Ekartsberga and Bad Bibra, Germany before moving to Berlin, Germany in 1949.

John completed his secondary education in 1943. Upon graduation, he worked as an apprentice in his parents’ butcher shop. He also attended trade school in Koelleda, Germany for 3 years and became a journeyman butcher.

In 1948, he completed college in Naumburg. John later graduated with his master’s degree in Fleischer Handwerk in 1953 in Berlin. In 1959, he emigrated to the United States by way of Los Angeles to establish himself as a German craft butcher and achieve the American dream.

John was the founder and owner of Tip Top Meats & European Delicatessen, Inc. He opened Tip Top Meats in Glendale, CA in 1967. He later moved the business to Carlsbad, CA in 1979. His life’s work was the successful operation of his business for over 50 years. John shared that success with his family and his community.

He loved his work, and he showcased that love in the quality of his products.

One of his proudest accomplishments was his donation of two new church bells and repair of the existing bell of his home church, Maria Magdalena Church, in Bad Bibra, Germany in 2000. The bells were named Frieden, Freiheit, and Familie.

Frieden, in honor of the people of Bad Bibra. Freiheit, in honor of his mother, father, brother, and sister. Familie, in honor of the loves of his life Diane, Amanda, Megan, and Matthew.

He also donated to replace a stained-glass window, donated to have a new playground built for the local Kindergarten, and supported restoration of the church organ as part of an ongoing refurbishment project.

For his personal and financial commitment to his hometown, John was awarded the prestigious Verdienstmedaille des Verdienstordens der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, the

Medal of Merit of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2002.

He served as the TriCity Hospital Foundation Board of Trustees President and helped found the Diamond Society. The TriCity Hospital Foundation honored John with the 2013 Legacy Award for his many years of leadership and philanthropy in the community.

A long-standing member of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce and endearingly known as “Mr. Carlsbad,” John was active in city and community events and causes, serving on the Board of Directors and earning the Entrepreneurial Spirit Award and the Lifetime Achievement in Business Award, among others, for his accomplishments in business. Other notable accomplishments include his involvement with the Optimist Club Save a Boy program, Del Mar Fair Junior Livestock Auction, St. Patrick’s Church and School, the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation and Fun Run, Boys and Girls Club, TriCity Christian School, Carlsbad Rotary Club and Oktoberfest, Encinitas Oktoberfest, North Coast Repertory Theatre, youth sports, senior programs, and more.

He is preceded in death by his sister, Jutta, his father, Herman, his

mother, Martha, and his brother, Wolfgang. He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Diane, his stepdaughter, Jennifer,

his grandchildren, Amanda, Megan, Matthew John, and Michelle, and his great grandchildren, Liam John, James Samuel, and Leland

Joachim.

John was a kind, generous man with a big heart. He was a true inspiration to all who knew him, a role model for honesty and integrity. He is deeply loved and will be forever remembered and loved by his family, his employees, his customers, and his community.

He will be remembered for his entrepreneurial successes, his tremendous generosity, and his commitment to the community as a

true servant leader. His legacy will live on through his family and his business. More than anything, he was a beloved husband to Diane, stepfather to Jennifer, a fantastic and caring Otee to Amanda, Megan, Matthew, and Michelle, and a special great grandfather to Liam, James, and Leland.

In accordance with his wishes, a private service was held to commemorate his life.

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.

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 866266-7512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub. com using the file number assigned to this case 220025331 CA. 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.

NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

Encinitas woman returns overseas with Peace Corps

By Samantha Nelson ENCINITAS

— An Encinitas native and recent college graduate will be among the first Peace Corps volunteers to return overseas this year following the coronavirus pandemic.

The Peace Corps has been on Nancy Saltamachio’s radar since she was a high school student at San Dieguito Academy High School.

Born and raised in Encinitas, Saltamachio graduated from high school in 2019 and started her first year at Westmont College later that same year, during which she met a Peace Corps recruiter who told her about how volunteering would work. The young college student put it on the back burner until her senior year when that recruiter again reached out.

Saltamachio was in college throughout the height of the coronavirus pandemic and couldn’t study abroad as she originally planned. So when the Peace Corps idea resurfaced for her, it seemed like the perfect time to apply.

In March 2020, the

Peace Corps suspended its global operations and evacuated nearly 7,000 volunteers from more than 60 countries at the onset of the pandemic. Volunteer cohorts now returning to overseas service are made up of both first-time volunteers like Saltamachio and volunteers who were evacuated in early 2020.

Saltamachio will spend a short period in Miami for preparations before flying to Panama with her fellow volunteers.

Once there, the volunteers will undergo training for nearly three months and then spend two years of service there working with their host communities on locally prioritized projects in one of the Peace Corps six sectors: agriculture, community economic development, education, environment, health or youth in development.

Additionally, all volunteers will engage in COVID-19 response and recovery work.

The concept of experiencing a whole new culture for an extended period attracted Saltamachio to the Peace Corps. Though in her application, she noted that she would be hap -

py being placed wherever she was needed most, Saltamachio hoped to go to a Spanish-speaking country where she could finally become fluent in the language she studied for her minor degree in college.

“I’ve been learning Spanish in a school setting for a long time, but I’ve been craving the immersion piece and learning the language in its entirety,” she said.

Saltamachio also admired the Peace Corps' approach to service, which centers around building international relationships and going to places they are invited.

Saltamachio will spend more than two years in Panama, working with farmers to learn more sustainable fertilization techniques and homemakers to learn how to cook more nutritiously and fully utilize the local resources.

The trip will be both a learning and teaching experience for Saltamachio, who graduated from Westmont College last year, majoring in economics and business with minors in Spanish and environmen-

Bolsa Chica coastal wetland’s luxuriant wildlife, hiking trails

Birds in mud. That’s how one Yelp reviewer describes Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve in Huntington Beach. And it’s true. There are a lot of birds in a lot of mud, but there is plenty more to this coastal wetland, one of the few remaining on the Pacific Coast.

The reserve’s marvelous mudflats and the rest of its 1,400 acres are home to a huge variety of fish, insects, reptiles, and mammals. And the 186 species of birds make the reserve a magnet for birders who come to see the two distinct populations that flock here in winter and summer.

We are standing in the reserve on one of the trail’s small mesas; we need only a few feet of elevation to take in the 360-degree vista.

To the west, beyond our dense, post-rain landscape of coast sunflowers and protected coastal sage scrub are those mudflats, with egrets or ibises (or maybe both) stepping through the muck, a dozen ducks paddling and bobbing for their meals; pelicans doing touchand-goes on the lagoon’s surface; and plenty of other fowl that we can’t name.

(Confession: we are not schooled birdwatchers, but we love to watch birds.)

Further out is Pacific Coast Highway, separating the reserve from the 10 miles of uninterrupted, north-stretching sand and boardwalk that is Huntington State Beach, Huntington City Beach, Huntington Dog Beach, Bolsa Chica State Beach and Sunset Beach.

Beyond that, the waters of the Pacific, and today, the

sharp silhouette of Catalina. The island looks so clear and close that we wonder why someone hasn’t just built a bridge to connect it with the mainland.

As tranquil and copacetic as the terrain looks now, it wasn’t always this way.

The blasts of shotguns belonging to the Huntington Gun Club once rang out in the early 20th century. The club constructed a dam

to keep out the ocean water and create a freshwater pond. Thus, the many ducks attracted to this pond ended up on the wrong end of the hunting rifles.

The dam also played havoc with the ecological balance of the wetland, which needs the twice-a-day exchange of salt and fresh water to maintain its plants, animals and fish.

The land eventually passed through several

owners and bankruptcy, and during World War II, it served as part of the Coastal Defense System. The military built underground bunkers, an observation tower and gun emplacements. The bases for these guns are still present.

In the 1970s, the private owners of Bolsa Chica tried to build a marina and housing tracts, but thanks to the dedication and persistence of some passionate conservationists, this wetland was spared from becoming suburban sprawl.

Today, multiple public and private entities and their volunteers work to keep Bolsa Chica safe from development and ecological harm so that many species, including homo sapiens, can

enjoy it. A small-but-well-presented interpretive center on the north end of the reserve tells the history of the area and its first residents who arrived about 9000 B.C.E. There are a few live-animal exhibits and displays on the wetland’s plants and animals.

Bolsa Chica’s five miles of trails have ample signage explaining the reserve's history, ecology and environmental issues. Except for a few small elevations, the trails are flat. Bring binoculars and water (no water fountains), and wear a hat and sunscreen. Entry is free.

Cocktails: Resurreccion de los Muertos

ing the new beginnings that come with resurrection.

And finally, a spicy ghost pepper-infused syrup was added to give the drink a kick of heat, representing the fiery passion and energy that comes with rising from the dead.

I’m on the hunt for a cocktail so good I’m inspired to write poetry about it.

I’m looking for a drink so good that it makes me think seriously about making bad decisions.

Lucky for me, our community is filled with talented bartenders who can inspire me to improve my imbibing habits. This week, I checked in with Shawn at Death By Tequila.

Bartender: Shawn

Years bartending: 8 years.

Hometown: Encinitas

Venue: Death By Tequila

Cocktail: Resurreccion de los Muertos

Key Ingredients: Ghost pepper, piloncillo syrup, Frida Kahlo Blanco

Cheers!: How would you describe the cocktail?

Shawn: [It’s] a unique blend of flavors. The Ghost pepper, also known as Bhut Jolokia, is one of the hottest peppers in the world. Piloncillo syrup is a traditional Mexican sweetener made from unrefined cane sugar. It has a rich, dark color and

a deep, molasses-like flavor with notes of caramel and brown sugar.

This syrup adds a rich, sweet, and caramelly flavor and balances ghost pepper’s strong, fiery flavors. A strong and bold drink that would be perfect for those who enjoy spicy and intense flavors.

Cheers!: What inspired it?

Shawn: The inspiration behind “Resurrection of the Dead,” a spicy dark tequila cocktail, came from overcoming death and rising again.

The team began experimenting with different ingredients, trying to find the perfect balance of flavors to evoke the resurrection image.

We knew we wanted to use tequila as the base spirit, as it is a strong and powerful drink, much like the idea of overcoming death.

But they also wanted to add elements representing the resurrection’s rebirth and renewal aspect.

We decided to use lime juice for its refreshing and tangy flavor and its ability to cut the heat of the tequila. Piloncillo syrup was added for sweetness, represent-

We wanted to incorporate a visual element to the drink, so the dark fluid in matte black coup glass is a powerful visual contested with a tajin rim to the glass to represent the bright colors of the earth and the rejuvenation and rebirth that come with rising from the dead.

The Resurrection of the Dead spicy tequila cocktail is more than just a drink. It's a story, a symbol, and a journey. A reminder that even in death, there is always the possibility of rising again, stronger and more alive than ever before.

Cheers!: What does it pair well with?

Shawn: It’s the perfect evening cocktail solo with a book, or [you can] indulge in these dark flavors over a chat with an old friend about life. Pairs great with Lamb Shank Barbacoa.

Cheers!: What’s the best thing about bartending?

Shawn: Bartending is really social, so I meet many kinds of customers. I learn a lot about people. I also really enjoy making drinks which I find creative and artistic.

Cheers!: One thing readers should know about you?

Shawn: I’m an agave expert. If you’ve ever been curious about agave, come down to DxT for some deadly drinks and ask me all your agave questions.

The Cup in O’side

Where: The Cup, 206 Wisconsin Ave, Oceanside, CA 92054

Open: Daily, 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

What: Caffe Calabria Five A.M. blend

Tasting Notes: Lemon notes, hints of apple, and blueberry

Price: $1 with your own mug. $2 without. What I’m listening to: BROS, “Tell me.”

By Ryan Woldt

The Cup in Oceanside is not where I planned to get a cup of coffee today. But I stopped for one major reason: The front patio was in full sun, and the digital display in my car said it was 46 degrees.

I’ll say that again, 46 degrees! If I were to survive the chill, I would need hot coffee to warm my insides and the sun’s rays to warm my outside. So I went inside to order.

I haven’t been to The Cup since the halcyon days pre-pandemic — the time I like to refer to as “The Before.”

My memory isn’t what it used to be, but I’m pretty sure not much has changed at The Cup in my absence.

I can hear a boisterous morning crowd chattering away over music from a time when the biggest rock stars wore long crimped hair and spandex tights. Inside, the menu is still on the wall. They still serve

sandwiches. The smell, as I enter, is quite lovely. Someone has ordered a classic breakfast sammie.

The main space is smallish. The seating area consists of long, narrow tables with stools extending inward from the front wall where the sunshine billows in through an oversized window.

I order a batch-brewed drip. I have cash and my mug, so it is only a buck, which I toss into a basket. I fill up the mug and ask what I’m drinking.

It’s the Five A.M. blend from Caffè Calabria and drinks darker than the tasting notes (above) imply. I’d add baker’s chocolate to that list — dark, rich, and much better than one would expect from a $1 cup of joe.

I stop a couple who’ve stepped off the nearby pedestrian path and ordered breakfast to ask why they made their way to The Cup this morning, and the response makes me smile.

“I’m over chains and all that,” they said. “And you can get a beer and a coffee anytime, even in the morning. That’s important.”

They espouse the pleasure of coming to a place that gives them a feeling of community. After a decade in the neighborhood, it’s not just the coffee. It’s not just the food. It’s not just the beer.

It’s the people that make The Cup.

SANDAG, Caltrans are looking for your feedback

You can help improve transportation in North County! SANDAG and Caltrans are looking for your feedback on the newly released Draft Plan for the North County Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan (CMCP). You can read the Draft Plan and leave a comment by March 12, 2023 for consideration in the Final Plan at sandag.mysocialpinpoint.com/NorthCounty.

The North County CMCP includes around 700,000 residents and 300,000 jobs in the cities of Escondido, San Marcos, Vista, Carlsbad, and Oceanside, and parts of the County of San Diego, which constitutes about 20% of the region.

The North County CMCP Draft Plan proposes $8.5 billion of balanced and integrated transportation infrastructure and service improvements. The improvements are expected to reduce transportation related fatalities, decrease daily travel time by an average of 15 minutes, and increase transit ridership from 35,000 to more than 140,000 while meeting regional and state policy goals. It’s a 30-year blueprint, but the CMCP aims to deliver the following improvements over the next 5-10 years:

• Deploy transportation technology to make the system more efficient

• Add a 1-mile extension to the Inland Rail Trail

• Conduct interchange improvements at I-15/SR 78 and I-5/SR 78

• Increase transit ser-

vice frequencies

The North County CMCP is just one of the many strategies used to carry out SANDAG’s 2021 Regional Transportation

Man gets 5 months for threatening U.S. senator

By City News Service

REGION — An Oceanside man who threatened to kill Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York in a voicemail message left at Schumer’s Washington, D.C. office was sentenced Feb. 10 to five months in prison.

Johnathan Ryan McGuire was charged with sending a profane message to the Senate majority leader in which he threatened to “blow your (expletive) head off” and “send some bullets your way,” according to an FBI agent’s affidavit filed in San Diego federal court.

The caller, who included several antisemitic and homophobic slurs in his message, also stated, “Yeah, you guys are real upset huh? You can’t murder babies anymore.”

Schumer’s staff notified police of the message, which was received on May 3, 2022, and came from a phone number attributed to McGuire, according to court documents.

The affidavit also alleges that U.S. Capitol Police have documented “numerous threats by McGuire to various members of U.S. Congress and a USCP officer” between 2019 and 2021, which were allegedly sent by phone and email.

Plan – a blueprint already in effect that enhances the region’s quality of life through equitable, sustainable, and active transportation.

A match made in heaven for Zeus

February is all about celebrating love and marking the matchmaking successes in our lives — and why not? Finding a soulmate is something worth celebrating, even when that soulmate sheds and drools a little. At San Diego Humane Society, matches are made every day between community members with extra love to give and homeless pets in need of a second chance. Some soulmates will fit in the palm of your hand, like a kitten or hamster, while others will take up a bit more space in your life — like Zeus here.

Zeus was an absolute staff favorite during his 11 months at the shelter. Some matches just take a little more time to make, and while 8-year-old Zeus behaved very well on leash during his canine adventure days to local parks, the shelter environment was stressful for him.

He arrived as a stray with some skin issues and fur loss. An allergy diagnosis and help from San Diego Humane Society’s medical team helped get these issues under control and Zeus grew just as fond of his caretakers as they did of him. Still, when visitors would come to meet him, Zeus would often retreat or become nervous, a challenge for adopters who wanted to make a connection.

But love is worth fighting for, and the staff at San Diego Humane Society never gave up hope of finding

the perfect match for Zeus. He was featured on their social media channels, media segments, and was

even named a Purina Pet, highlighting him as a great adoptable dog. In between adoption visits, Zeus spent a lot of time as an “office buddy” in San Diego Humane Society’s volunteer center, where he enjoyed plenty of affection, pets and playtime.

At long last, efforts to showcase Zeus paid off. As they say: Sometimes it’s just love at first sight. Zeus was finally adopted by a couple who knew he was the one for them.

He is now thriving in a home where the toys are plentiful and the playtime never ends. Best of all, Zeus and his new parents have both found the love of their lives! Now that’s a match worth celebrating.

If you’d like to celebrate the love that comes from the human-animal bond this month, consider adopting a pet in need. Not quite ready for commitment? Becoming a foster volunteer allows you to temporarily open your home to a shelter pet. You can also celebrate the love in your life by making a tribute gift to support the lifesaving work of San Diego Humane Society (sdhumane.org/ tribute).

Kohnen sought a timeserved sentence for 18 days McGuire had already spent in custody, arguing that mental health and substance use issues played a large role in the offense.

The attorney described McGuire’s behavior at the time as “screaming into the void in perhaps the most unhealthy way possible” and “a cry for help.”

Kohnen also argued that when looking at other cases involving threats to public officials, defendants in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol breach received 45-day sentences on average.

McGuire told U.S. District Judge Todd W. Robinson that he took “full responsibility for my vulgar and despicable actions.”

While Robinson credited McGuire for making strides through treatment and counseling since the incident, the judge said he was troubled by the prolonged conduct that included not just Schumer, but other elected officials.

McGuire pleaded guilty last year in San Diego federal court to one count of threats in interstate commerce.

At McGuire’s sentencing hearing last week, defense attorney Marc

“You can have a robust disagreement with public officials, but the fact of the matter remains that those individuals are entitled to go about their daily business without receiving unwarranted threats from constituents or any other members of the public,” Robinson said prior to imposing the prison sentence.

sionals, Hardy pinned each of her opponents except Jailyn Camacho of Vista High School, who won by decision, 8-4. A few weeks earlier, on Senior Night, Hardy had pinned Camacho in her final home match at Torrey Pines.

If Hardy takes care of business in the early rounds at this weekend’s Masters tournament, there is a possibility these heavyweights will face each other again.

“Both Rory and Jailyn are throwers,” Brown said. “It’s a high-stakes match, and both girls are very aggressive. Whoever pulls off

the throw first is going to get the win.”

Hardy is one of many wrestlers at Torrey Pines hoping to make a state title run. Sophomore Ruby Julien Newsom (126) took third at CIF divisionals and will compete at Masters. On the boy's side, the Falcons team finished sixth overall at the San Diego Section Division I wrestling championships — the highest finish in program history — and eight wrestlers qualified for Masters.

The San Diego Section Masters boy and girls wrestling tournaments are on Feb. 17 and Feb. 18 at Mission Hills High School in San Marcos.

Five movies to watch during Black History Month

Black History Month is a time to pay tribute to the triumphs, struggles, contributions, and resiliency of Black Americans and recognize their crucial role in U.S. history.

Cox has an extraordinary lineup of movies, documentaries, and educational programs to celebrate and honor the legacy and impact of Black Americans.

meeting, the city displayed photos of residents’ current views and compared them to altered versions of the same view with the outline of the new center. Residents and council members requested that the design be downsized by cutting unnecessary additions that widen its footprint.

Councilmember Dave Zito said while the roof design makes the building look nice, it doesn’t have much utilization. However, he also reminded the public that the redesigned center would require a lot of space to meet the need for an improved facility.

“The square footage that we’re getting to can be tweaked a little bit here and there, but if we look at what we will need for the next 50 years … I believe much of this space is gonna be needed,” Zito said. “The only other option is, you know, to block some views or possibly encroach

electrifying players?

Can he rebound from shoulder surgery and two wrist surgeries, and not playing for 16 months, and still be mesmerizing?

The quick answer is yes as boosters point to his age and his steady apology since getting his hand slapped.

But also know that putting a shoulder back together is akin to playing with a Rubik’s Cube.

The chances of lining the ligaments and other moving parts just so after a labrum surgery is a crapshoot.

There was a reason Tatis put up an epic fight to avoid the procedure despite his left shoulder repeatedly being displaced when put in a compromising position.

There’s no guarantee that Tatis will be the same player he was and we present Cody Bellinger as the perfect example.

Bellinger, now with the Chicago Cubs, was the 2019 NL MVP and followed that with some clutch hitting to help the Los Angeles Dodgers to the World Series title.

But in toasting a postseason bash, an overzealous celebration resulted in Bellinger injuring his shoulder in the same area

into [some] of the existing parking lot as well.”

Heebner advised City Manager Greg Wade to follow up with domusstudio and develop a handful of alternative floor plans to be presented to the council but not to worry about the roof just yet.

Wade reminded residents and council members that this Marine Safety Center plan is still preliminary. The final design plan and discretionary permits must still be obtained before the project can go out for construction bids, and full funding for the project remains to be identified, according to a staff report.

The Feb. 8 meeting was conducted virtually due to the detection of a handful of COVID-19 cases among city staff. As a result, meetings are expected to remain remote for at least through the end of February.

More information about the Marine Safety Center project can be found at cityofsolanabeach.org.

as Tatis.

Bellinger had surgery and what followed was two seasons of him struggling to hit above .200 before being released.

Also where Tatis will play — we predict right field — must be determined, with Bogaerts at shortstop, Ha-seong Kim at second base and Jake Cronenworth at first base. Someone not on the move is third baseman Manny Machado, or is he?

Machado can opt out of his contract after this season and he won’t take a San Diego discount.

Padres owner Peter Seidler isn’t shy about paying stars and Machado was watching when Seidler reached for his checkbook when outfielder Aaron Judge and shortstop Trea Turner were available.

Maybe the Padres, who already extended ace Yu Darvish’s deal, will do likewise with Machado. If doing so, it will cost a bundle ($40 million a year?) as Machado is being represented by a very astute agent in Dan Lozano.

The Padres will be entertaining no matter how all of this turns out. Like you, we can’t wait to tune in.

Hit films like “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “King Richard” and “Hidden Figures” are available on Cox Contour, but there are five lesser known but equally riveting films available via on demand and streaming apps on Cox Contour including Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ among others:

‘SUMMER OF SOUL’

Everyone knows about Woodstock, but not so much about the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival which took place over the course of six Sundays between June 29 and Aug. 24.

This award-winning documentary, produced by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, features interviews with attendees and original footage of the concerts featuring performers like Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, Mahalia Jackson and Sly and the Family Stone. Music lovers (and history buffs) will get out their concert lighters for this one.

‘ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI’

Based on a play of the same name, this film is a fictionalized account of a real-life event. Actress Regina King made her direc-

torial debut with this story of what might have gone down during a February 1964 meeting between Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, singer Sam Cooke and Pro Football Hall of Famer and actor Jim Brown as the men celebrated Ali’s surprise heavyweight boxing title win over Sonny Liston.

‘DOLEMITE IS MY NAME’

This film stars funnyman Eddie Murphy as real-life (but largely unknown) legend Rudy Ray Moore, a comedy and rap pioneer who rose to fame during the Blaxploitation era of the 1970s. Hilarious and brash, the film is a wild ride and Murphy delivers.

‘HORROR NOIRE: THE HISTORY OF BLACK HORROR’

Attention horror film buffs: Chills and thrills await in this 83-minute documentary that traces the untold story of Black Americans in Hollywood through their connection to horror films.

“Horror Noire” features both the living and the (un)dead through new and archival interviews with scholars and creators. Weighing in are modern scare king Jordan Peele, horror writer Tananarive Due and actor Tony Todd (aka The Candyman).

Just reading that last sentence gave you chills, didn’t it?

‘A CHOICE OF WEAPONS: INSPIRED BY GORDON PARKS’

When he was 28, in 1930, Gordon Parks saw photographs of migrant workers in a magazine and so found his weapon: He bought his first camera for $12.50 at a pawn shop in Seattle and taught himself how to shoot photography. Parks used his camera to express his own feelings and examine some of the ugliest parts of America.

Known widely as the director of the 1971 classic film “Shaft,” Parks was much more. A photographer, composer, author and poet, he inspired a new generation of young Black photographers. Social justice activists and fans of history will be enthralled with this moving film.

Whether you’re viewing these titles (or any of the hundreds of others) on Contour via on demand or a streaming app, Cox makes it easy to watch the classics and the latest releases.

Our On-Demand option gives you access to thousands of titles. Just add popcorn, a cozy blanket, and your favorite spot on the couch for a month of unforgettable movie nights spent learning about Black history in all its depth and richness.

The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 107164-CA. 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. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www. clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 107164-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

OUSD offers students free eye care

Mobile units offer eye care, glasses to students citywide

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— A challenge for many young students learning to read is an ability to see clearly, which is why a local school district is providing free vision care to students across the city.

Oceanside Unified has partnered with Vision To Learn, a nonprofit organization that works with school districts to provide access to eye care with its mobile van units.

Through a $250,000 grant, the district will partner with Vision To Learn for at least the next two and a half years to provide students with between 5,000 and 6,000 free pairs of glasses.

“We’re finding that around 30% of students are failing their vision screenings,” said Mercedes Lovie, Associate Superintendent of Educational Support Services. “Those who do not pass their screening are scheduled into a full vision diagnostic with an optometrist who sees about 30 students daily. They get a prescription for eyeglasses and pick out their frames, and in a few weeks, those glasses are returned to the children at school.”

The “vision vans” are deployed to several campuses in Oceanside known as community schools, which are schools that provide extra resources through local partnerships like eye care, dental, wellness checkups and other needs for students who may not otherwise have access to such services outside of school.

Community schools also work closely with parents to build tighter communities and provide everything their children need to succeed.

“The vision is to ensure all students have the support they need to be successful,” Lovie said.

The community schools target campuses with populations that have higher needs. Oceanside started with four last year – Mission, Libby and Laurel elementary schools plus Jef-

ferson Middle School – and has since added two more this year: Cesar Chavez Middle School and Pablo Tac School of the Arts.

The district’s community schools program has been in place for over a year now with plans to keep growing after receiving a statewide community schools grant that has provided $8 million to pay for the program over the next five years.

All students attending community schools are eligible to receive free eye care services with a priority on those experiencing poverty.

However, the district must first have parental permission for students to receive eye care.

While the vision services are located at the community schools for now, Lovie noted that students at other schools in the district who need eye care could also receive vision services for free.

The district is currently working on providing its vision vans to all 22 school campuses in the future.

“The vision van will go to all of our school sites,” said Communications Director Donald Bendz. “They are starting at our six com-

“It’s crazy to think my dream is happening,” she said.

Since the Peace Corps has been at the center of her future goals for some time, she hasn’t had much time to think about where life could take her after her service, though she knows the Peace Corps will open many doors for her ahead. Whatever she does, it will likely have some ties to environmental work.

“I can apply the skills I’ll learn wherever I feel compelled, whether in the U.S. working with big ag-

munity schools first because those campuses have the most need.”

Not only are the vision vans removing a barrier for families by providing free eye exams and glasses, but the service also prevents students from being removed from campus to see an eye doctor, which also means parents don’t have to take time off from work to take their children to an appointment off campus.

“What Oceanside Unified is trying to do is eliminate taking kids out of schools and getting all of their needs met here,” said Kristi Torrington, a communications specialist with the district.

According to Lovie, providing services like vision care to students can help them focus more on academics while at school.

“Students who cannot see well are not able to learn to read well, so if we can address that barrier, we will see an improved educational and overall outcome for our community,” Lovie said. The district is currently developing a local partnership with a different agency to provide dental services at school sites, similar to how the vision vans offer eye care.

riculture or maybe just continuing to learn more from indigenous regions,” she said. “It’s always the indigenous cultures that know how to take care of the land and sustain their livelihoods.”

The Peace Corps is currently recruiting volunteers to serve in 56 countries around the world at the request of the host country governments. Volunteers have already returned to a total of 48 countries around the world.

Those interested in joining the Peace Corps should apply at www. peacecorps.gov/apply before April 1 to start their service by this fall.

Spring cleaning, summer planting

It is spring cleaning time! I remember with fondness the vigor with which my German grandmother and my mother attacked all the rooms in the house, taking out all the dishes in the china cabinet to clean, washing the rugs and slipcovers and sanitizing all the kitchen appliances!

Now this was in suburban Milwaukee, where “cleanliness is next to godliness,” but here in Southern California, my indoor house cleaning time has been replaced by outdoor spring garden cleaning.

I encourage my students at the Pine Street Community Senior Garden in Carlsbad to approach our 20-by-6-foot garden bed with the same enthusiasm.

In the past two weeks we have been pulling out old vegetables that are beyond their prime and amending the existing beds with new soil.

According to Hanna Faulstich, one of my favorite staff members at Anderson’s La Costa Nursery in Encinitas, “This is a good time of year to refresh the soil and add nutrient-dense amendments to your beds.”

Anderson’s recommends E.B. Stone and Recipe 420 Raised Bed soils, which “will refresh the beds and add the nutrients that are washed away during winter months,” she says.

Hannah adds: “It is also a good time to come in and have a look at all the spring vegetables that are ready to go in the ground right now. We have everything in the Brassica family (broccoli, kale and cabbage), and a great supply of spring lettuce and peas, which all

CHECK YOUR LOCAL SOURCES

TIME TO

PLANT SUMMER BULBS

Many gardeners with a small front or backyard think about planting bulbs in the fall, but this is the perfect time of year to clear out your beds to make room for summer bulbs.

According to my colleague and fellow garden writer in New York state, Katherine Whiteside, “Now is the time to plan to celebrate a seasonal splash of bulbs with specially selected lilies, sweetly perfumed acidantheras and bursts of outrageous color from dahlias.

“All of these bulbs are inexpensive, readily available, simple to grow and shine as showstoppers in the summer garden.”

In her book “The Way We Garden Now,” she takes us on a wild trip through those summer bulbs we may have forgotten. One of the oldest and most underused bulbs, almost always used as funeral bouquets, comes highly recommended.

Yes, gladiolus are sometimes forgotten in the sum-

Right now, is the perfect time to check the local garden centers for a beautiful selection of flowering summer bulbs. One of the best buys is a bag of mixed dahlias, which can create a colorful display all summer long.

They can be planted in the ground or in garden beds; just wait until the evening temperatures are over 50 degrees. Plant tubers about 4 inches deep, with eyes pointing up. Allow 12 inches between plants, since they will become bushy.

The summer blooming dahlias can also be grown in pots for colorful bursts at your front door. And don’t forget, they make great cut flowers.

For the largest catalogue of dahlias that will make your mouth water and pocketbook groan, go to Brecks.com/dahlialovers for a selection of over 100 tubers.

CSUSM adds SDUHSD to guaranteed entry list

By City News Service SAN MARCOS — Cal

State San Marcos will expand the number of school districts at which students are guaranteed admission if they meet certain criteria, officials announced Wednesday.

The five new districts include San Dieguito Union High School District and Poway Unified School District, as well as Bonsall Unified, Guajome and Hemet

Unified school districts.

College President Ellen Neufeldt will sign a memorandum of understanding with the school districts during the university's annual meeting with local superintendents on March 1.

The new districts will join 10 already in “The Alliance,” CSUSM’s regionally focused initiative “intended to create a comprehensive pathway to college access and success,” accord-

ing to college documents. The school districts with existing guaranteed admission include Carlsbad Unified, Oceanside Unified and San Marcos Unified.

Under the agreements, students are guaranteed admission if they reach particular standards, and they’re also supported by a peer mentoring program in their first year at CSUSM and ongoing assistance through graduation.

AT THE CARLSBAD Community Garden, Mary Kipp and Eleanor Schubert prepare the beds for spring planting.

The 1.64% wage increase approved unanimously by the district board of trustees at its Jan. 31 meeting reset the lowest hourly pay at $15.50, bringing the district into compliance with state law.

However, at that same meeting, over a dozen classified employees from across the district showed up to make public comments, urging the district to aim higher.

“We currently have employees that could walk from their site to a fast food restaurant and make more money,” district CSEA president Rebecca Cheeseman told the board of trustees late last month.

Naomi Diehl, a health technician at San Dieguito

Academy, said the low pay makes it hard for employees to get by and results in lower interest from applicants.

“The results of us just meeting the bare minimum is that classified employees are getting less than what they need to feed their families,” Diehl said. “We cur-

rently have a massive shortage of classified staff. It’s causing a lot of extra work for our employees.”

The issue is especially apparent in the district’s transportation department, which has 49 buses but only 25 hired drivers. A staff member in the transportation department said the

One of the most common things musicians share is that being a musician is highly physical.

Coordination and agility are essential for music

district offers free training to new drivers but that it’s not enough to get them to stay.

Other classified staff also pointed out that four of the district’s schools are technically located within the city limits of San Diego, which has a minimum wage of $16.30, and said staff at those schools should be making the minimum wage of that city.

District spokesman Miquel Jacobs said while the district’s sites span between the cities of Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach and Encinitas, school districts are only required to pay the state minimum wage rather than the minimum wage of the individual cities in which they are located.

“The location of which school is located in which city has no bearing on the aforementioned ‘minimum wage’ question as the City

of San Diego minimum wage ordinance does not apply to school districts and other government entities,” Jacobs said. “For this reason, our Classified Employees Salary Schedule includes ranges that begin with the state minimum wage of $15.50.”

A separate 4% salary raise is also on the table for classified staff, their first raise since 2020. CSEA leaders said that while the 4% increase is the same percentage offered to teachers and other certificated employees, they make far more overall.

According to Cheeseman, the district spends an average of $5,100 per certificated staff employee and $2,500 per classified employee.

“I know it’s hard to compare apples to apples, and there are a lot of variables, but when I see those numbers, all I can think is,

music is the friends you will make and the group experiences you will have with other musicians. Sharing music is great for the Soul. The good news is that there is always time!

in the eyes of the district, a classified employee is worth half of what a certificated employee is worth,” she said.

In an email to The Coast News, Cheeseman added that CSEA has come to a preliminary agreement with the district, which will go to their members and the board for approval.

“We go back to the table next year and will be looking to continue to increase our wages and improve our longevity formula to attract and retain employees,” she said.

Trustees at the board meeting said they recognized the need for higher pay for classified staff.

“We can make a small dent in that tonight. I know what we’re considering is not nearly enough, but I’m going to be advocating in future meetings that we increase more than this,” said Trustee Michael Allman.

N. Escondido housing project

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO —

North Escondido will be home to a new 56-unit residential subdivision project along Stanley Avenue and Conway Drive that will include million-dollar homes in addition to duplexes reserved for affordable housing.

The Conway Residential Subdivision project will consist of 46 single-family lots at 916, 942 and 943 Stanley Avenue and 2005-2175 Conway Drive.

Two of those lots will contain existing homes while one multifamily lot would house 10 units in the form of five duplexes.

As a density bonus project, developer Escondido North, LLC proposes to include 10 deed-restricted, affordable units that, per state law, allows them to build 18 additional units.

The developer is only proposing to add 16 units to the base 40-unit limit for a total of 56 units.

The project includes the annexation of a 2-acre lot from San Diego County.

To construct the project, 13 existing homes will be demolished. An agreement between the developer and the current landowners will provide $3,000 to the renters being displaced.

The City Council approved the project Feb. 8 with the condition of bumping compensation to $5,000 and giving renters 90 days instead of 60 days to leave.

Deputy Mayor Joe Garcia and Councilmember Consuelo Martinez suggested raising that compensation amount considering the soaring costs of rent across the county and city.

“The rents they pay now don’t exist anywhere in the county anymore,” Martinez said. “These families will probably have to pay $1,000 more a month in order to move.”

The City Council approved the project with the additional condition of raising the compensation costs in a 4-1 vote with Mayor Dane White opposed. The mayor questioned the council’s authority to dictate changes instead of leaving it to the developer and landowners.

Habitat for Humanity San Diego is also partner-

ing with the developer to construct the project’s 10 affordable units.

The agency plans to work with existing residents who will be displaced to house them in the new units if their income qualifies. Those who move into the affordable units will own the deed-restricted homes.

“This will be the first affordable for sale product that we’ve seen in our city,” said David Ferguson, an attorney representing the developer. “The partnership with Habitat is groundbreaking.”

mental impact report, not ing that the document could help analyze and answer many of the questions and concerns about grading and other potential impacts the project could have.

According to City Plan ner Adam Finestone, the project has sufficiently pro posed mitigations address ing potentially significant impacts that an EIR docu ment is not required.

To mitigate traffic con cerns, the project calls for high-visibility crosswalks and pedestrian signals at the intersections of North Ash Street and Vista Avenue and North Broadway and Rincon Avenue; high-visi bility crosswalks and curb ramps at the intersections of Stanley Avenue and Conway Drive and Lehner Avenue and Conway Drive, and over 2,100 linear feet of new side walk.

Although ultimately approving the project, Gar cia said he struggled with grouping the affordable units together in one corner of the project.

“To me it’s segregation,” Garcia said.

Ferguson said the rest of the homes in the project will be market-rate, million-dollar homes.

Several neighbors are concerned the grading is too high relative to adjacent properties. Ferguson noted that of the developer’s several housing projects, including the nearby residential neighborhood of Pradera, the Conway project has the least amount of grading. Residents were also concerned about the lack of an environ-

Councilmember Mike Morasco disgareed, saying the project was proposing “almost reverse segregation” by including the affordable units in that area of the city.

“Everything in regards to low-income housing has been in the city core,” Morasco said. “This is an opportunity for home ownership in an affordable way through a great process and agency in the less urban portions of our city.”
