Death labeled as suspicious

Deputies investigate incident at Vista home

By Leo Place

VISTA — A woman was found dead, and a man was found with various injuries in a Vista home on July 6, in a case under investigation by the San Diego Sheriff’s homicide unit.

Around 11 a.m. on Sunday, law enforcement responded to a call of an assault with a deadly weapon in the 1200 block of Columbus Way. Deputies located an 81-year-old woman inside who was deceased with signs of trauma, and an 82-year-old man who was alive and also had signs of trauma.

The woman who died has been identified as Jeanette Stark, and a preliminary investigation determined that she suffered from at least one gunshot wound, according to Lt. Aloha Peters. The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the cause and manner of death.

The man received medical aid and was transported to a local hospital. The Sheriff’s Office has not responded to inquiries about his condition.

Property records indicate that the man is Dennie Stark, the husband of the victim.

Deputies have contacted an individual, possibly a family member, who made the call about the incident after conducting a welfare check at the home.

Sheriff’s officials described the incident as an assault with a deadly weapon. Peters said multiple firearms were seized from the home.

“Due to the suspicious nature of the incident, the Sheriff’s Homicide Unit responded to the scene and took over the investigation,” the Sheriff’s Office said on Monday. “Based on the information gathered so far, this appears to be an isolated incident. There is no apparent danger to the community. The investigation is ongoing.”

Rents up, vacancies tightened

By City News Service

REGION —

Rents are up 4.1% around San Diego County, with the city itself seeing a spike of 9.3% compared to last year, according to a survey released this week by the Southern California Rental Housing Association.

The increase in rents comes at the same time as inventory continues to be tight across the region.

This follows a decrease in average rents by more than 7% between 2023 and 2024.

The 2025 survey also recorded a continued decrease in vacancy rates.

Region-wide availability dropped to 3.6%, down from 6.36% in 2024. In the city of San Diego, the vacancy rate decreased to 3.12%, compared to 4.22% last year.

City pulls berms following several driver complaints

By Leo Place

VISTA — All berms recently installed along South Melrose Drive and Sycamore Avenue for a protected bike lane project are being removed, following the Vista City Council’s recent decision to roll back major elements of the project over its last two meetings.

Construction on the protected bike lane project began in March, with the city implementing striping, flexible delineator posts and raised berms to physically separate bike lanes from vehicle lanes. Protected lanes were slated for various streets, including South Melrose, North Melrose, Sycamore Avenue, Vista Village Drive, East Vista Way, East Bobier, North Santa Fe, Taylor Street, Olive Avenue and Longhorn Drive.

Soon after construction began, some residents in District 4 started to complain about the berms, particularly along South Melrose Drive. Drivers reported that when the berms were first installed, they were not painted or striped, which made them difficult for drivers to see and resulted in some accidents.

Others shared concerns about berms preventing cars from being able to pull off the shoulder in the event of an accident, as well as potential limitations to emergency vehicle access.

The city began rolling back portions of the project in late May, after a council majority decided to remove berms installed along a portion of South Melrose Drive between Shadowridge Drive and Faraday Avenue. All progress on the project was stopped at that point while the city awaited further direction.

In another meeting on June 24, the council voted 3-2 to remove all the remaining berms along South Melrose and Sycamore Avenue. Councilmember Dan O’Donnell, who brought forward the motion to remove the berms at both meetings, said he made his decision after speaking at length with residents, public safety officials, EDCO, the San Diego Bike Coali-

tion, and traffic engineers.

“When I tell you that I have taken the time to make this decision that I have made, I really have. I’ve been diligent and I’ve tried to weigh not just community feedback, but the expert opinion,” O’Donnell said. “I don’t think there are flaws in the design. There are flaws in the rollout, and that is the fault of the council.”

The council majority also agreed to pause all work on the protected bike lanes on East Vista Way, except for striping, until after the installation of a raised median between Williamston Street and Taylor Street.

City staff said that the median project, funded by a $2.6 million Highway Safety Improvement Program grant, is expected to be completed in 2028, which will delay the installation of berms or delineators in the area for at least a few years.

These retroactive removals are expected to

berry said.

Councilmembers Corinna Contreras and Katie Melendez opposed removing additional berms on June 24, noting that the specific areas being considered for removal were not specified in the council agenda beforehand.

Melendez said O’Donnell was proposing the removal of a significant amount of infrastructure. She said while she appreciated his effort to speak with experts like first responders, she would have preferred to have them share their input with the rest of the council and the public as well.

While some drivers have complained about cars being damaged due to hitting the berms, some cyclists said that’s kind of the point.

Resident Kenneth Zuniga said he feels more secure biking through District 4 with the new lanes,

“Removing existing infrastructure that protects more vulnerable transportation users would be a waste of taxpayer dollars, and will result in dead people. If you don’t want any of your constituents to die, you will keep and maintain the Vista bikeways and infrastructure that encourages safe and sustainable transportation,” Gonzalez said.

O’Donnell acknowledged that more people have felt safe since the protected lanes were installed. However, he said more stakeholders should have been involved earlier in the process to prevent issues,

Berm removal on South Melrose and Sycamore will take place in mid-July, Atteberry said.

Both berms and delineators will be removed between Sunset Drive and Hacienda Drive along South Melrose. Delineators will remain in place from Sunset Drive to the city’s southern limit, with the exception of a 575-foot segment near Green Oak Road, as well as on Sycamore.

“The delineators still make it a protected bike lane, it’s just not as protected as if it had berms,” Atte-

“I think it is a little bit extreme to conduct a removal without some experts being available to provide us perspective, from city staff in particular,” Melendez said. “To support these items, we’re gonna need more robust conversations. We have multiple departments that could speak to this, none of which we’ve heard from tonight.”

Contreras questioned whether the rest of the council is truly committed to making streets safer for all residents.

“I think it’s really important that we maintain safety for all users on our roads,” Contreras said. “I’m not for going backwards on progress and safety on our roads.”

The decision to remove the berms was also controversial among residents, with several cyclists stating that they feel safer with the new infrastructure in place.

and has seen cars slowing down as well since the berms were installed.

“I strongly urge this council to continue to maintain protected bike lanes, especially in District 4, where I live. I have used them daily since they were installed, and I’ve seen tangible improvements,” Zuniga said.

and noted that the city has already had to remove some of the berms and delineators due to unique circumstances on certain roads.

For example, berms have already been removed in front of Breeze Hill Elementary School due to complaints from the school about buses being unable to park in their usual areas. Along another part of South Melrose, delineators had to be removed on the residential side of the street as they

Enough junk mail

By Scott Chambers

Almost every day, I go out to the mailbox to get the mail. On the way back, I toss most of it into the blue bin.

That’s not unusual, right? It’s junk mail. Everybody does it.

For decades, I’ve read articles calling for an end to junk mail. Opinion polls say most people don’t want it. For years, I’ve assumed the flow of junk mail was going to stop.

It hasn’t.

While the junk mail problem is enormous, a slight change in how it is routed could cut it down to size. The problem will be described first, then the small change. Finally, the possible consequences of that change will be considered.

Junk mail comes from trees.

The next time you toss out a piece of junk mail, consider: A tree is cut down. It’s loaded on a truck and taken to a mill. It’s put into a chipper and then made into pulp, which is then used to make paper. The paper is loaded on a truck and driven to a printer. Advertising is printed on the paper. Then it’s delivered to your mailbox.

Here’s where you come in. You take it out of your mailbox and toss it into the recycling bin.

The discarded paper is then driven to a recycling center. It is made into blank paper, ready once again to be printed on. Or it’s driven straight to a landfill.

Futures Society estimates that the production of paper for junk mail releases the same amount of greenhouse gas as nine million gasoline-powered cars. Your junk mail contributes to climate change.

So destructive and for nothing.

What can you do?

Well, you could go to the website of DMAChoice, fill in a form, give them six dollars, and they would notify lots of advertisers that you don’t want their advertising. DMAChoice is a nonprofit organization once attached to the Direct Mail Association, now called the Association of National Advertisers.

For six dollars, they would reduce the flow of unwanted advertising to your mailbox for 10 years. They’re very frank about the limitations of their service. They say, “This will not eliminate all promotional mail.”

But wait a minute. Why should you have to pay six bucks to stop things from being sent to you that you don’t want?

I mean, shouldn’t either the advertisers or the people who want the advertising pay the six bucks?

And there it is — the solution.

Flip the script. Instead of making those who don’t want junk mail fill out forms and pay fees, make those who actually want junk mail fill out forms and pay fees.

mail would probably go way down. I mean, how many people are going to fill in a form and spend six bucks to get junk mail, right? Greenhouse gases from paper mills, delivery trucks, and recycling trucks would be reduced. Resources, money, labor, energy, and time would be saved. Entire forests would be saved. Climate change would be slowed. This simple change would help save the planet.

Why hasn’t this been done already?

A key reason is that the United States Postal Service actually wants to deliver junk mail because it helps them pay their bills. More desirable mail, such as parcels and first-class letters, simply doesn’t raise enough money to cover their costs, about 74% of which are for personnel.

The USPS is conflicted. They know that less junk mail would mean fewer mail trucks. Fewer trucks mean less pollution, less traffic, and less overhead. They know that less junk mail means fewer paper mills. They know that less junk mail would help save the planet.

But they also know that less junk mail would mean fewer postal delivery drivers. What would happen to them?

Good news.

The country currently needs truck drivers — lots of them.

Bye backyards, hello high-rises

One certainty about the justsigned AB 130 budget trailer bill is that it will lead to building projects that are extremely unwelcome in the areas where they’ll eventually stand.

This bill, which quite improbably passed the state Assembly on a unanimous vote after being pushed for two years by the East Bay’s Democratic Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks, is likely to produce a boom in what is loosely called “infill housing” designed to help solve the state’s unquestioned housing shortage.

One of its major features applies the tag “infill housing” to anything built on any vacant plot of land containing less than 20 acres in a city or urban mapping area.

Until now, most folks thought of infill housing as apartments or condominiums on vacant lots or other small pieces of property. But 20 acres is an entirely new definition of “infill” or “small.”

A plot that size built up to five stories can easily hold 1,000 or more new units, which is a large development. The previous definition of an infill site had a size limit of 5 acres.

As usual, with new housing in the new California, parking space requirements will be minimal, sometimes even non-existent for developments near major transit stops, on the presumption that very few living there will want the independence of owning their own car or small truck. Occupants will have to ride transit or fight for street parking every time they come and go from their new digs.

What’s more, the new developments will not be subject to community input, with no mandated public hearings on permits. It’s a developer’s fantasy.

ly unpopular, once Californians are informed of what it contains – which is the biggest blow to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) since it passed in 1970 and was signed into law by thenGov. Ronald Reagan.

Fully 66 percent of Californians in a poll taken for building trades unions and other major state interest groups opposed the bill once they learned it eliminates community input on new developments and bypasses some environmental protections, especially on land that has previously been surrounded by urban uses.

The poll also showed 70 percent of Californians still support CEQA, despite years of grousing about it by governors from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Jerry Brown to Newsom. The single most significant new related bill, also a budget trailer, is Senate Bill (SB) 131, from San Francisco’s Democratic Sen. Scott Wiener. This creates new CEQA exemptions for things like health centers and rural clinics, childcare centers, food banks wildfire mitigation projects and parks.

Why would legislators unanimously pass a bill that goes so much against public sentiment as AB 130? One reason is differences in the polls, with some showing majorities in favor of building as much housing as possible as soon as possible, and hang the consequences.

Waste-Away, a recycling company, estimates that 100,000,000 trees are cut down each year to create over one billion pieces of junk mail, 42% of which will end up in landfills, unopened.

All the trees. All the machines. All the time. All the money. All to be tossed away, unread. Think of the environment. Those trees remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Those chainsaws, trucks, paper mills, and landfills produce greenhouse gases. Ocean

These new forms would give advertisers permission to send junk mail. Those of us who don’t fill in the forms would have opted out. The default position would be no junk mail.

I mean, the DMAChoice website already exists. Instead of being the opt-out website, make it the opt-in website. How hard would that be? Advertisers might pay a fee to be on the list. And perhaps consumers could pay a small fee to select which of the various catalogs and flyers they want and receive only those. For the rest of us, no junk mail.

If this simple change is made, the volume of junk

According to Altline, a finance company, the country currently needs approximately 24,000 more truck drivers. While this shortage has been ongoing for years, it has recently been growing rapidly for two reasons.

First, there is the ongoing crackdown on immigrants living in the country without documentation. By one estimate, about 100,000 such immigrants are, at least for now, driving trucks in the U.S. One trucker recruiting agency reports that “The trucking industry… is most likely to bear the brunt of the mass deportation plan.”

Second, the White

Except for the Donald Trump effect. His campaign for unprecedented deportation efforts by Homeland Security agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol has created new shortages of labor in trades from roofing to drywall, from plumbing to demolition of smaller existing structures.

So one consequence of AB 130, which was quickly whipped into state law via the “budget trailer bill” maneuver, will likely be the proliferation of canvas-covered fencing around building plots where work is delayed.

Never mind that AB 130, which became law shortly after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the newest state budget, is wild-

Another is that Newsom is clearly seeking a legacy. While running for president in 2027 and 2028, he will only be able to get so much mileage out of being the anti-Trump, a role he has sought to grab ever since the president nationalized the California National Guard and sent thousands of its troops into Los Angeles, where there was little violence either before or after their arrival.

If Newsom can claim to have solved or at least partially solved the housing crunch and California rents begin to drop, he will have a brand new hook for his presidential hat. That’s strong motivation for any politician and probably explains the easy, greased passage of AB 130 better than anything else.

BOARD PRESIDENT Kathy Rallings was absent for the final June 25 vote approving the Carlsbad Unified School District’s $172.8 million budget following weeks of public scrutiny. Residents and trustees clashed over proposed fund reclassifications.

CUSD adopts budget as tensions flare over trustee

By Samantha Nelson CARLSBAD —

The Carlsbad Unified School District board narrowly approved a $172.8 million budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year following weeks of internal conflict and public criticism over Board President Kathy Rallings’ handling of the process and her absence from the final vote.

The approved budget includes roughly $175.8 million in expenditures, resulting in an estimated $3 million shortfall. The district also closed out the current year’s budget with a $7.5 million deficit, projecting a decline in its general fund balance from about $35 million last fall to $24.6 million by June 2026.

A majority of board members had postponed the initial vote scheduled for June 18 to allow for public input on revisions, including the restoration of $3.12 million to the district’s stabilization fund and the removal of a proposed line item labeled “Board LCAP Priorities.”

Suzanne O’Connell, the district’s retired deputy superintendent who returned to present the budget, said she was uncomfortable reclassifying the funds under the new title.

“To me, 'Board LCAP Priorities' gives you a broader use of the funds than the restrictions that were implied when we formed it,” O’Connell told the board.

O’Connell explained that discussions to change the name and reduce the district’s required reserves from 5% to the state-mandated minimum of 3% began during board meetings in December and January. While the board ultimately rejected the policy change in January, the renaming proposal was not formally addressed at that time.

“Since there was no mention at that time of the name change, I felt like it was an unfinished piece,” she said.

O’Connell began presenting the budget in February after the departure of Eric Dill, the district’s former associate superin-

tendent of business services, who left for a similar position at Poway Unified.

Board President Kathy Rallings, the lone trustee in favor of keeping the money in the new category, voted against the change on June 18 and was absent from the final vote on June 25. She had previously supported reducing reserves to 3%, one of only two board members to do so.

Vice President Michele Tsutagawa Ward, who also supported the reserve

members as they sought to amend the budget and reschedule a vote, expressing concern over their understanding of board procedures.

“I’m not going to do this for you,” she said.

Resident Tamara Dixon called on trustees to consider removing Rallings from the board. Some community members also questioned Rallings’ motives for supporting the reclassification of the funds.

Ward said her vote was

...The entire reason we are here is because we apparently have a board president who does not respect the board or our rules.”

Trustee

Gretchen Vurbeff On the conduct of Board President Kathy Rallings

change in January, said she later reconsidered the reclassification and worked to reverse it. She helped reach a consensus with the rest of the board to finalize the budget at the special meeting.

During the June 25 meeting, several members of the public criticized Rallings for her demeanor during earlier discussions and for missing the final vote.

Carlsbad resident Shauna Hearst expressed frustration with Rallings’ conduct and absence.

“(Rallings) talked repeatedly at the end of the meeting on another item about performing your board duties that you’re elected to, and she did not do that on the budget for you guys,” Hearst said. “As board president and as the longest standing trustee, she should have given you the board policy … she should have given you the parliamentary procedures, and it’s very unfortunate that she didn’t guide through this budget process in a way that conforms with the budget laws.”

During the June 18 meeting, Rallings appeared frustrated with fellow board

driven by concerns about future federal and state budget cuts, as well as financial obligations to public charter schools.

“My vote is not about any one trustee, or any false claims about someone trying to steal $3 million or any amount of money, because that simply is not true,” Ward said. “This vote is about ensuring we have a sound budget that supports all of our students, especially those facing academic and social challenges.”

Trustee Gretchen Vurbeff, however, sharply criticized Rallings.

“I also want to make clear that the entire reason we are here is because we apparently have a board president who does not respect the board or our rules,” Vurbeff said. “Instead, Trustee Rallings abused her authority as president and unilaterally usurped the will of the board to improperly transfer $3.1 million out of the stabilization fund hoping we wouldn’t notice. This behavior has to end, and it is up to all four of us to take a stand, and I hope that will happen soon.”

The board will not meet again until August.

Chemical fire chars

structure

By City News Service

OCEANSIDE — A hazardous materials fire damaged a commercial building and affected several small businesses in Oceanside and left two firefighters and another person with minor chemical exposure, authorities said.

Multiple fire agencies responded at around 9:45 p.m. on July 1 to a large structure fire in a metal plating facility at 2525 Jason Court, near Oceanside Boulevard and Temple Heights Drive. The fire was caused by an equipment malfunction, according to the Oceanside Fire Department.

Officials said they saw smoke and flames coming from the roof of the building.

“Employees confirmed the presence of potentially large amounts of hazardous materials. Out of caution, entry was limited to a few crews to avoid unnecessary exposure,’’ the department said in a statement.

Crews attacked the fire from the outside and truck units ventilated the roof, while additional teams searched unaffected areas for occupants and fire extension. The main fire was contained to the center occupancy, officials said.

Cal Fire San Diego’s HazMat team and the San Diego County Environmental Health department evaluated the extent of hazardous materials released due to exposure to smoke, water runoff and chemicals. The agencies advised on decontaminating the scene.

At least two firefighters and one employee were evaluated and released for minor chemical exposure. All employees were safely evacuated prior to fire department arrival.

There 61 personnel assigned to the fire, including 11 engines, three ambulances and two fire investigators, officials said.

Personnel from Vista Fire, San Marcos Fire and the Oceanside Police Department assisted in the effort.

Del Mar backs local control voter initiative

City adopts budget with $7.1M surplus

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO —

The City Council approved a balanced budget on June 18, with a surplus of approximately $7.1 million aided by additional revenue from Measure I, the city’s onecent sales tax approved by voters last fall.

The city projects it will generate $38.5 million from Measure I, boosting total revenues to nearly $178.6 million, with expenditures projected at $171.5 million.

Revenue from the sales tax will fund a variety of new one-time and annual investments in infrastructure and staffing.

20 years that will mitigate the impacts of this structural deficit and provide staff time to explore additional ways to align revenues with expenditures.”

While heeding words of caution, Mayor Dane White said he remains optimistic about the city’s direction.

“The future was looking pretty bleak for the city, and now all of these investments are going to make this the premier city in San Diego County,” White said. “I’m looking forward to seeing what comes from all of these investments.”

City the latest in North County to support

By Leo Place

DEL

MAR

— The Del Mar City Council adopted a resolution on Monday supporting the proposed Our Neighborhood Voices state ballot initiative, joining other cities that want to restore local control to cities when it comes to housing development and land use.

Council members approved the resolution in a 3-0 vote, with Councilmember Dan Quirk absent, formalizing the city’s support for the initiative to be placed on the 2026 ballot.

It has been endorsed by over 40 cities throughout the state, including the North County cities of San Marcos, Oceanside and Encinitas.

While state statutes currently supersede local laws regarding land use planning and zoning, the initiative aims to amend the state constitution so that local housing laws would take precedence.

The initiative has gained traction in response to the slew of approximately 450 new housing laws passed in the state over the past eight years, particularly those focused on increasing density, such as

SB 9 and laws limiting local control like SB 330.

Councilmember Tracy Martinez said the state has implemented a one-sizefits-all model that does not work for Del Mar and many other coastal communities. Many of the laws also conflict with other state regulations under the Coastal Act.

“By signing this, we say we’d like local control,” Martinez said. “I think it’s really important that local governments get their power back, and not an overreach by Sacramento.”

Martinez emphasized that she and Mayor Terry Gaasterland support the development of affordable housing but that current state laws offer few incentives or requirements for developers to produce low-income housing.

In the end, it’s developers that benefit from these laws, they said.

“We do believe in affordable housing, so I don’t want that to be misunderstood by anybody. But, we also know what’s happening now is not working. We’re not getting more affordable housing; we’re getting more high luxury apartments that are raising the price of all rents, because that becomes the new norm,” Martinez said.

Gaasterland and Martinez also specifically expressed their frustration with the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)

process, which allocates housing units that municipalities are required to produce during a specific Housing Element period.

The most recent RHNA process analyzed job data to help determine the number of needed housing units in local municipalities, with SANDAG designating 163 units for the city of Del Mar to produce by 2029.

However, the city determined last year that the city’s job data was largely overinflated, as around half of the 4,484 jobs included in the calculation were for part-time or seasonal employees of the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

“It’s an arbitrary number depending on transient jobs at the summer fair,” said Gaasterland.

The ballot initiative is sponsored by the nonprofit Our Neighborhood Voices. The organization’s website states that it will need 874,641 valid petition signatures from registered California voters for the measure to appear on the ballot.

In May, the Encinitas City Council approved a resolution in support of the measure.

Last month, the Carlsbad City Council opted not to endorse the proposed state constitutional amendment, at least for now, citing concerns about transparency and a desire to view the finalized ballot language.

One-time investments include $1.3 million for roof repairs; $350,000 for new plumbing in the California Center for the Arts conference center kitchen; $275,000 for motor lifts on the theater and concert hall stage; $2.7 million for two new fire utility trucks and three pumpers; $3.9 million for 37 new police vehicles; and $1.35 million for water and wastewater services.

Annual spending includes $600,000 for new elevators citywide, $125,000 for HVAC duct cleaning, and $1.7 million for police maintenance and operations. The city had planned to allocate $4 million for a new Climatec energy financing plan, but ongoing discussions have delayed a final decision until August.

The budget also provides for 27 new staff positions, nine upgrades from part-time to full-time roles, and the reinstatement of three positions previously cut due to the city’s structural deficit.

Most of the new positions are in Development Services, including an associate planner, principal planner, senior planner, two code compliance officers, a building inspector, a traffic engineering project manager and an assistant director of the city’s Public Works department.

Other additions include eight full-time park rangers, a division chief, a battalion chief and administrative support roles for the Escondido Fire Department.

“This is going to be absolutely monumental in terms of services,” said Councilmember Christian Garcia.

While Measure I has enabled the city to reinvest in services across the community, Director of Finance Christina Holmes has warned that long-term fiscal challenges remain, including a potential structural deficit of $10 million to $24 million by 2035.

“Despite multiple actions taken each year to address the structural budget deficit and the city’s efforts to fund projects with grants and other sources of onetime funds, it has not been enough to meet the growing costs and demands for services,” Holmes said. “The passage of Measure I provides funding for the next

The family of a man who was fatally shot by sheriff’s deputies in Spring Valley has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against San Diego County and the deputies involved.

The lawsuit filed June 30 in San Diego federal court, which seeks at least $20 million in damages, says 34-year-old Victor Rendon Jr. was suffering from severe mental health issues that should have resulted in dispatching a psychiatric emergency response team after 911 was called to Rendon’s ex-girlfriend’s home on Nov. 15, 2024.

The woman told police Rendon had shown up uninvited at her residence and entered through a back door, armed with a pistol and was “acting erratically,’’ according to the San Diego Police Department, which investigated the shooting. She also informed police that Rendon suffered from mental health issues, according to police, who said Rendon fired the gun a few times before exiting the home.

Police said he pointed the gun at deputies, while the lawsuit alleges Rendon was bringing the gun up to his own head, then was shot around a dozen times. Seven deputies opened fire, discharging at least 30 rounds total, according to the lawsuit.

The complaint contends Rendon did not pose a threat to the deputies or anyone else and that law enforcement ignored indications that he required mental health intervention.

The deputies involved were publicly identified as:

• Darryl Patmon, K-9;

• Evan Carey, Rancho San Diego Patrol;

• Chalit Carranto, San Marcos Patrol;

• Thomas Cook, San Marcos Patrol;

• Frank Spinelli, Rancho San Diego Patrol;

• Derek Trumbo, Lemon Grove Patrol and;

• Manuel Zamora, Lemon Grove Traffic.

All were named as defendants in Monday’s lawsuit, along with San Diego County.

City awards bid for ramp upgrades

By Leo Place

SOLANA BEACH

— The Solana Beach City Council has approved a bid for the planned Fletcher Cove improvement project that will replace the beach access ramp and the metal dissipator grate at the base of the ramp and install a new shower area at the beach.

The council awarded a $432,525 construction contract for the project to A.B. Hashmi, Inc. as part of the consent calendar during their July 2 meeting. Officials also approved a $25,301 contract with Verdantas Inc. for geotechnical inspection and laboratory testing needed to support the project.

During the project, crews will replace the concrete access ramp to the beach, as well as the asphalt concrete walkway south of the ramp, the concrete curb, and the metal handrailing.

According to the city, the dissipator grate was installed in 1998 and is now in need of replacement due to corrosion caused by the saltwater and coastal environment.

Work on the project is scheduled to begin in September and is expected to be completed in January 2026. Construction cannot begin sooner because of a California Coastal Commission project waiver that prohibits work on the beach between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

The 2023 Coastal Commission waiver states that the project will be completed in phases in order to maintain beach access throughout construction.

The Fletcher Cove

prevented buses from picking up a special needs child, O’Donnell said.

O’Donnell also said there have been concerns about the berms preventing mail carriers, trash collectors with EDCO, and first responders from being able to pull over and access the areas they need to.

“I was trying to weigh the totality of all of that information and maintain some of the protection, while alleviating some of the safety concerns,” O’Donnell told The Coast News.

Fully affordable complex slated for Mission & Roymar

staff is reviewing an application for a 100-unit affordable housing project proposed for the corner of Mission Avenue and Roymar Road, according to planning documents.

improvement project has been part of the city’s Work Plan for the past two years. While Fletcher Cove currently has a shower area located above the beach near the bathrooms, the new shower tower at the base of the ramp will offer a closer option for beachgoers.

The city received a total of 10 bids for the construction contract in May, with A.B. Hashmi, Inc. offering the lowest bid. Wright Construction Engineering Corp. submitted a bid protest alleging that the bids from A.B. Hashmi and another contractor had deficiencies; however, city staff determined the application to be complete.

SoCal grocery workers reach tentative deal

The union representing more than 45,000 workers for Ralphs, Albertsons, Pavilions and Vons across Southern California announced July 2 it has reached a tentative contract agreement with the grocery companies.

The union workers had previously authorized a strike if a deal could not be reached. No specific details of the proposed agreement were released, although union officials said it includes higher wages, additional pension contributions and improvements in health, welfare and staffing.

It was unclear when union members would hold a ratification vote. Union officials said details of the tentative agreement would be shared with union members during upcoming meetings.

He added that individual council members know their districts best, which is why he recommended removing only the berms in District 4.

The district also has different topography than other parts of the city, he said, with steep hills where cyclists tend to gain speed and could be severely injured if they hit a berm.

Mayor John Franklin and Councilmember Jeff Fox supported pausing the project throughout the whole city, which other council members did not support.

“I am for the reduction, although I wish we

If approved by the City Council at a future date, the project would be constructed at 3296 Mission Avenue and 169 Roymar Road. The development, proposed by AMG Land Development, would replace the existing Chance at Life Thrift Store and Rising Star Academy Childcare Center on the 1.03-acre site.

Plans call for a five-story, nearly 65-foot-tall building with 100 apartments — 24 two-bedroom units measuring 786 square feet each and 76 one-bedroom units ranging from 426 to 627 square feet. The apartments would occupy the upper four floors, with ground-level space designated for parking and a leasing office.

All but two units would be designated as affordable housing. Seventy-nine units would be reserved for low-income households and 19 for moderate-income households, with two units set aside for onsite managers.

Amenities would include a fitness area, community room and a second-story courtyard with

a play area, barbecue facilities, outdoor seating and electric grills.

The project is being processed under California’s density bonus law, which allows developers to request concessions from certain development standards in exchange for building affordable units. According to the application, the developer is requesting five such concessions:

• Relief from the requirement to provide additional commercial components beyond the leasing office, a change the developer says could save up to $105,000.

• A reduction in required parking from 147 spaces to 40. The developer said building additional parking would require a subterranean garage, costing up to $3 million.

• A reduction in open space requirements. The plan includes 8,443 square feet of open space, in-

Ghost gun, drugs seized in traffic stop

City News Service

SAN MARCOS — A 39-year-old man suspected of possessing an unserialized, fully loaded assault rifle was arrested on July 3 in San Marcos.

Deputies from the San Marcos Station stopped William Linares at a traffic stop for a vehicle code violation in the area of Nordahl Road and Montiel Road at 3 p.m. Thursday, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.

During the traffic stop, deputies noticed a high-ca-

Along with protected bike lanes, the city is adding painted green bike lanes to intersections along certain portions of West

pacity magazine inside the vehicle. After a search of the car, they found a fully loaded assault rifle without a serial number — a “ghost gun’’ and another fully loaded pistol, authorities said. In addition, the deputies found illegal narcotics and a large amount of cash.

Linares was arrested and is facing felony charges of carrying a loaded gun in a public place or public street and owning or possessing a gun without a serial number and drug-related charges, the sheriff’s office said.

cluding the courtyard, community room and fitness center. Meeting the standard would require a 21,557-square-foot rooftop deck, estimated to cost nearly $1 million.

• Exemption from the requirement to generate 50% of forecasted electricity demand through onsite renewable energy, which the developer says would save $526,480.

• An exemption from vertical wall height setback requirements. The proposed height is more than 64 feet and does not meet current setback standards. According to the developer, complying would result in the loss of up to 17 top-floor

units.

Under density bonus provisions, eligible projects can exceed the city’s height limits by up to 33 feet. The proposed building falls nearly 20 feet below the maximum allowed height of 83 feet.

The project would exceed some city standards by including 17 electric vehicle-ready spaces and nine EV chargers. It also proposes 16% tree canopy coverage and 19% permeable surface, above the required minimums of 9% and 16%, respectively.

The project application was submitted on May 30 and is still under staff review, city officials said.

Study: Honeybees threaten native pollinators

Scientists seek limits on hives near wildlands

By City News Service

REGION — Non-native honeybees are so effective at pollinating that they pose a significant threat to native California bees and other pollinators, according to a study published by UC San Diego biologists this week.

Brought over to North America partially because of their effectiveness, populations of feral European honeybees have proliferated in the American Southwest. While nearly all plants need pollinators, these invasive bees make up nearly 90% of bees visiting flowers of multiple native plant species in the region, the report found.

The study was published in the journal Insect Conservation and Diversity, a journal of the Royal Entomological Society. In it, the authors estimate the impact honey bees may be having on populations of native bees. According to their findings, honeybees remove about 80% of pollen during the first day that a flower opens.

All bees in the region

— and the vast majority of bee species worldwide — use pollen to raise their offspring. The amount of pollen removed daily by honey bees from just 2.5 acres of native vegetation is enough to provision thousands of native bees per day during the peak bloom of native shrubs, the researchers found.

“Although honeybees are rightly considered an indispensable asset to hu-

mans, they can also pose a serious ecological threat to natural ecosystems where they are not native,’’ said biologist Keng-Lou James Hung, who earned his PhD from UCSD and is now an assistant professor at the University of Oklahoma.

“The plight of the honey bee is an issue of animal husbandry and livestock management, whereas when it comes to conservation issues here in North

America, honey bees are likelier to be part of the problem, not a solution or a target for conservation.’’

In addition to their speed, honeybees are larger than most native bee species in Southern California — now comprising 98% of all bee biomass. If the pollen and nectar used to create honey bee biomass were instead converted to native bees, populations of native bees would be expected to

be roughly 50 times larger than they are currently, a statement from UCSD reads.

Hung’s co-authors, Dillon Travis and Joshua Kohn, found in a 2023 study that plants pollinated by non-native honeybees actually produce lower-quality offspring compared to those pollinated by native bees.

“Public concern for honey bees often fails to consider their potential negative effects on native pollinators,’’ the authors write.

“Honey bees are incredibly effective at extracting resources like pollen and nectar,’’ said Travis, who earned his PhD at UCSD in 2023. “Unlike the vast majority of native bee species in the region, honey bees can communicate to their nestmates the locations of rewarding plants and quickly remove most of the pollen, often early in the morning before native bees begin searching for food.’’

The researchers used pollen-removal experiments to estimate the amount of pollen extracted by honeybees using three common native plants: black sage, white sage and distant phacelia. They found that just two visits by

honeybees removed more than 60% of the available pollen from flowers of all three species.

The more than 700 species of bees native to Southern California had the remainder to fight over.

“The most surprising finding was the extraordinarily small number of individual native bees observed that were as large or larger than honey bees,’’ said Kohn, professor emeritus of the UCSD’s Department of Ecology, Behavior and Evolution. “Particularly rare were bumble bees, which made up only 0.1% of all bees we observed.’’

The authors said more attention should be paid to the resource consumption of honeybees amid the decline of native pollinator populations. They suggest limiting where commercial beekeepers are allowed to keep hives after crops have bloomed as a potential solution.

“In areas with threatened bee species, natural preserve managers may also want to consider systematic removals or relocations of non-native honey bee colonies to provide wild bees a fighting chance,’’ Hung said.

David Holway was an additional co-author on the report published Monday.

Location has value online? digital 101

By Rich Henrich

For generations, business owners have understood the power of a prime location.

But in today’s digital-first world, the phrase “location, location, location” has taken on a new meaning. It’s no longer just about having a storefront in a high-traffic area — it’s about being found locally online, especially on Google Maps.

When customers search for products or services near them, Google Maps results appear at the top of search pages.

These listings drive real action — nearly 76% of consumers who search for something nearby visit a business within 24 hours, and many make a purchase within 72 hours. That means your visibility on Google Maps can directly translate into foot traffic and revenue.

Yet, many small and mid-sized businesses aren’t fully optimized for Google Maps. If your business isn’t appearing — or it’s buried beneath the competition — it’s missing out on valuable local traffic. This is where local SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and customer reviews become essential.

Optimizing your Google Business Profile involves selecting the right categories, adding fresh photos, and incorporating relevant keywords related to your products or services, which can enhance your local rankings.

Encouraging happy customers to leave positive reviews not only boosts credibility but also helps your business appear more prominently in search results.

Digital marketing strategies like SEO don’t just help you compete — they help you stand out. When paired with consistent review management and accurate business information, your spot on Google Maps becomes a digital version of “Main Street,” helping customers find you when and where they need you most.

In short, if location still matters — and it does — being found online locally is the new storefront window. Businesses that embrace this digital shift are setting themselves up for long-term, local success.

No spin: Introducing the 72-hour day

Presidents Day. Labor Day. Thanksgiving. National holidays can always be counted on for big retail sales.

I’ve even heard of MLK Day and Juneteenth gaining momentum as big retail opportunities, with a particular focus on Black-owned businesses taking advantage.

Regardless of the owners’ race, though, you can typically count on major holidays providing huge deals and discounts in diverse categories, including cars, furniture, food, and clothing.

Odd Files

A Cautionary Tale

A couple in Thailand went to the hospital three times after the woman swallowed a fish bone while eating fish soup, Oddity Central reported on June 27. She tried various home remedies, but couldn’t dislodge it from her throat, and at the hospital, doctors couldn’t see anything on an X-ray.

The wife, Sang Lan, still felt pain, but assumed the bone had moved on. When her neck became swollen, she returned to the hospital, but again X-rays were negative.

At home, the woman was applying a pain relief patch to her neck when she saw a pointy object poking her skin from within. She applied pressure, and the fish bone poked through her skin. Back at the hospital, doctors removed the 2-centimeter bone; they said they had never seen anything like it before. [Oddity Central, 6/27/2025]

A 77-year-old woman in Michigan won $4 million in the state’s instant lottery recently, the Detroit Free Press reported on July 1. The woman, who is choosing to remain anonymous, said she plays the game “all the time” and was “frozen in her seat” for a while after scratching the winning ticket.

Curiously (in light of her age), the winner chose to receive annual payments of about $133,000 for the next 30 years instead of taking the lump sum of about $2.7 million. She’s planning to donate some, do home repairs and share the winnings with her family. [Detroit Free Press, 7/1/2025]

Philadelphia magazine reported that on that night, Beaulieu went to great lengths to skip the security line at Philadelphia International Airport, trying to enter Terminal C through an exit line.

Eventually, Beaulieu got away from her and disappeared into the terminal — and onto his flight, which was still at the gate.

At Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, riders of the newly opened Siren’s Curse roller coaster got a break in their experience when the coaster “experienced a delay,” the Akron Beacon Journal reported.

Davies said she was “disgusted” and added, “My concern is, if things like this are getting into a baby’s toy, then what are their standards for health and safety?” Oh, Rona. Shein offered her a refund and 100 Shein points, which Davies called “a joke really, because that’s not the point of it.” Shein had no comment. [Kent Online, 7/2/2025]

Why didn’t they just say it’s a 3-day sale?

Or they could have announced it as a 1-day sale to get customers to rush in, then add an air of exclusivity by giving those customers a special coupon that extended the sale by two more days.

Arguably, this would have encouraged additional shopping, getting these exclusive customers to bring a few friends back with them.

The Tesla suffered only a damaged mirror, but it had to be lifted with a crane off the tracks so as not to disturb its highly flammable battery. “We’ve had accidents involving Teslas,” Renshaw said, “but nobody has expressed to us that the vehicle was in selfdrive mode when it happened.” [MSN, 7/2/2025] Awesome!

LCC grad Teisher named Mission Hills coach

Former CSUSM outfielder brings player-first ethos

By Noah Perkins

Encinitas native Griffin Teisher, hired on June 20 as Mission Hills High School’s new varsity baseball coach, is still six months away from his inaugural season at the helm, but he’s already breaking a sweat mowing the infield grass to get the field ready.

“With the football field under renovation and other sports utilizing the grass spaces for practice, I mow it out so it doesn’t get overgrown,” Teisher said.

Teisher brings a diverse coaching resume, including two years as the freshman head coach at La Costa Canyon High School, six years at the helm of the North County Mavericks travel ball team, and the previous two seasons leading Mission Hills’ junior varsity squad.

He succeeds Neil Jamison, who coached the Grizzlies varsity team from 2018 until stepping down after this season. During Jamison’s tenure, the team notched back-to-back 20win campaigns, capturing the Valley League title in 2021 and the Palomar League crown in 2022.

“I was surprised when he told me, but I completely understand his reasons,” Teisher said of Jamison’s decision to step down. “He’s a high-quality, experienced coach, and I have a lot of respect for him. His success set a strong foundation, and I’m excited to build on what he started.”

Last season, Mission Hills finished with an 11-19 overall record and a 5-10 mark in the competitive Palomar League, placing sixth in the standings.

“Having spent the last

leaders in hits, walks and runs scored. Teisher also set the record for most career sacrifice bunts (21).

two seasons as the junior varsity coach is super beneficial to me,” Teisher said. “I know where guys fit, I know their speed, I know their game. The more you see them play, the easier it is as a coach to put on different bunt schemes, steal bases, and use those strategies. But more than that, there’s already trust there.”

Rising sophomores are expected to play a major role next season. Daxton Hyde made five appearances on the mound as a freshman, gaining early varsity experience, while fellow freshman Micah Mecucci launched six home runs.

“What’s cool for us is that last year, our varsity team had some young guys contributing — freshmen, sophomores, juniors

— so a lot of them got experience earlier than they typically would,” Teisher said. “I think we’re going to be a pretty strong club next year. We’ve got really good depth in the infield, behind the plate, and on the mound. We’re in a really competitive area, but I think we’ll be extremely competitive in our league and in our CIF division.”

Although Jamison’s departure took many by surprise, Teisher’s continuity has quickly reassured both players and parents.

“When Coach Jamison stepped down, I was surprised since he had been in the program for a while,” Daxton Hyde said. “Coach Jamison was a great coach, and I was shocked, but when I heard Coach Teish-

er was taking over, I felt reassured that our program is in good hands. I’m super excited for him to take over and coach our program, and I am looking forward to a big year.”

“From a parent’s perspective, he developed a great team atmosphere [at the junior varsity level] and culture through his own example of positivity, cheering, and clapping up kids,” added Daxton’s father Daniel Hyde. “It was fun, energetic, and team-oriented. Every kid played and worked towards their development, which is what high school baseball is all about. So we were happy because Dax was happy. We look forward to that fun, energetic, team-oriented culture next

year.”

Before coaching, Teisher, who bats left-handed and throws with his right, distinguished himself as an outfielder at La Costa Canyon High School — where he graduated in 2016 — before continuing his career at Cal State San Marcos, class of 2022.

At LCC, he was part of teams that won back-toback Avocado West League Championships and played in two CIF Open Division finals. As a senior, he hit .306 with 25 RBIs and 22 runs scored.

Teisher’s collegiate career included a redshirt senior season, during which he started 46 games, batting .262 with one home run, nine doubles, and 27 RBIs.

He also set the school record for most career sacrifice bunts (21) and finished among the program’s leaders in walks, runs, and hits.

“My formative years were at La Costa Canyon, where the family atmosphere crafted by Coach [Justin] Machado and the staff left a lasting impression,” Teisher said. “Playing alongside Mickey Moniak, the first overall MLB draft pick, meant scouts were everywhere. Even if they were mostly watching him, it

pushed all of us to raise our game daily. That competitive yet tight-knit vibe is exactly what I aim to build with my teams.”

In addition to baseball, Teisher, whose parents are both teachers, has long valued academics. He was named Encinitas School District Student of the Year in 2010, gave his elementary school commencement speech, and earned a spot on the San Diego Union-Tribune All-Academic Team in 2015.

At La Costa Canyon High, he maintained a GPA above 4.0 as a junior while enrolled in AP courses and was a Gold Level member of the school’s Renaissance Club.

In college, Teisher majored in history and now teaches it at Mission Hills High School.

“My dad [Bobby Teisher] coached surf at San Dieguito High for over a decade, and growing up around that really shaped me,” Teisher said. “Those high schoolers felt like big brothers I never had. Seeing my dad coach taught me that sports are more than just games — they’re about mentorship and building community. That’s a huge part of why I chose teaching and coaching as my path.”

Fritz makes Wimbledon semifinals

Torrey Pines star seeks first Grand Slam title

By Staff RANCHO SANTA FE

— Taylor Fritz advanced to the Wimbledon semifinals for the first time in his career, defeating Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4) on Wednesday to become the last American man remaining in the singles draw.

Fritz, seeded No. 5, overcame a third-set lapse to secure the win in 2 hours, 36 minutes on No. 1 Court. The 27-year-old from Rancho Santa Fe had previously fallen in the quarterfinals twice at the All England Club, both in five-set losses.

Last year’s U.S. Open runner-up, Fritz entered the match with a 1-4 record in Grand Slam quarterfinals, including 0-2 at Wimbledon. Fritz will face twotime defending champion Carlos Alcaraz of Spain in a July 11 semifinal match.

Fritz is seeking his first Grand Slam title and is the first American man to reach the semifinals at Wimbledon since John Isner in 2018.

Fritz did not face a break point through the first two sets but lost control in the third as Khachanov took advantage of a drop in first-serve percentage. The Russian broke early in the fourth set, but Fritz responded with a break of his own and closed out the match in the tiebreaker.

Fritz, coached by Mike Russell and Paul Annacone, is 13-1 during the grass-court season, including titles at Stuttgart and Eastbourne in the lead-up to Wimbledon. He has won more grass-court matches than any other player this year, and the most by an American male in a single season since the ATP Tour began in 1990. A former student at Torrey Pines High School, Fritz is currently the topranked American man and one of three U.S. players still alive in the singles draw, alongside Ben Shelton and Amanda Anisimova. Shelton, 21, is in the quarterfinals on the men’s side. He has won 94% of his service games during the tournament and is coached by his father, Bryan Shelton.

On the women’s side, Anisimova reached the fourth round in her return to Wimbledon after taking a break from professional tennis in 2023.

A semifinalist at Roland Garros in 2019, the 23-year-old has been praised by former players, including Vania King, Mike Bryan, CoCo Vandeweghe, and James Blake, for her talent and renewed perspective on the game. The United States has a long history of success at Wimbledon, with 33 men’s singles titles and 57 women’s titles. Pete Sampras was the last American man to win the tournament, capturing his seventh crown in 2000. Serena Williams was the last American woman to win in 2016.

Very berry summer desserts

jano’s

As I walk through the summer farmers’ markets, filled with stalls offering boxes of sweet strawberries and blueberries, I am reminded of Sunday dinners at our family cottage on Lake Michigan.

In my last article, I recollected the fresh corn and bratwurst dinners and will now proceed to everyone’s favorite part of the meal –the Berry Berry Biscuit dessert.

My paternal grandmother, Edna VanDenBerg, was a widow at 55 years old and went to work as a cook in one of South Milwaukee’s favorite weekend social clubs, the VFW Meeting Hall. This was an unusual job for a nonprofessional middle-aged woman in the 1950s, but she ran the kitchen like a pro.

The dining room and bar were always filled with more than 50 customers each night, and one of the favorite dishes at the end of a large meal was the Berry Berry Biscuit dessert.

She had perfected the art of the buttermilk biscuit, which I later found out came from the Bisquick Buttermilk Baking Mix.

She brought her box of Bisquick mix to our family dinners and made fresh biscuits for her infamous dessert on her weekend visits. She also brought boxes of freshly picked strawberries and blueberries from her tiny Milwaukee bungalow garden, which were ready to be processed.

After the biscuits were

baked and hot out of the oven, she would slice each one, place it on the family’s prettiest plates and offer the two Berry Berry toppings of marinated strawberries and blueberry topping.

We loved creating our own desserts because we could take as much homemade whipped cream as we wanted! Here is your recipe to create the perfect berry dessert.

The Perfect Berry

When purchasing berries from a farmers market or the grocery store, you must be an observant shopper.

Turn the clear plastic boxes of fruit upside down, and if you see one slightly moldy berry, the entire box will be moldy by the next day. Also beware of berries that are on “special,” since they are probably on their way out.

When you bring them home, lay them out on a paper towel to check for freshness and use as soon as possible. If you are not using them immediately, store them in a cool place, not the refrigerator, and do

not wash until ready to use.

Preparing Berries

For strawberries, choose only perfectly ripe berries with no blemishes or soft spots. Place two cups of sliced berries in a glass bowl, add sugar to taste and 1/4 cup cassis liqueur or berry juice. Marinate for at least three hours. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.

Blueberry Topping

(Recipe adapted from chocolatewithgrace.com)

Ingredients

2 Tbsp cornstarch

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup water

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

In a heavy, medium saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and sugar until there are no lumps. Add water, blueberries and lemon juice.

Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thick.

cool. Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator for one week.

Biscuits

Purchase one box of Bisquick Buttermilk Baking Mix. Follow directions for making 12 biscuits, adding 6 tablespoons melted butter and 1/2 cup sugar. After mixing, roll onto a floured surface to a thickness of one inch. Cut into circles with a cookie cutter. Bake according to box directions, one hour before ready to serve.

Berry Berry Dessert

For the final presentation, bring out your best (or oldest) dishware and place a sliced biscuit on each dish. Fill decorative serving bowls with strawberries and blueberry topping and allow each guest to create their own dessert. Top with homemade whipped cream and enjoy the compliments!

“For those who applied and didn’t receive funds, it’s not that we don’t support you,” Councilmember Christian Garcia said. The city will allocate HOME Investment funds as follows:

• $59,000 for administrative costs.

• $88,555 for community housing development organizations such as Habitat for Humanity or Community Housing Works.

• $442,777 for affordable housing development, rehabilitation, rental assistance and first-time homebuyer support.

Of that, approximately $72,000 will be allocated toward rent subsidies for up to 30 senior households currently on the Section 8 waitlist, providing a monthly stipend of $200. Nine spots are still open in the program.

Another $25,000 will support the city’s first-time homebuyer program, offering assistance with down payments or closing costs. One household recently received a loan, and another application is underway.

Staff noted a key challenge remains HUD’s $676,000 cap on eligible home prices — a limit that is often exceeded in the local real estate market, though home prices have recently begun to decline.

Horse-assisted therapy grows in Fallbrook

Group launches new initiative for trauma healing

By Samantha Nelson FALLBROOK — A

longtime Fallbrook nonprofit that provides horsebased therapy is expanding its services with the launch of a new mental health initiative and facility at its Mission Road ranch.

Since 1984, Riding Emphasizing Individual Needs and Strengths, or REINS, has provided equine-assisted therapy for individuals with special needs and injuries, focusing on both physical and cognitive development.

In recent years, the group’s therapeutic horsemanship program has placed increased emphasis on mental health, particularly for veterans, active-duty service members, first responders, foster youth and displaced children who have experienced trauma.

The REINS of Valor mental health initiative, officially launched two years ago and led by Kaitlyn Siewert, has grown quickly, prompting the need for additional facilities on the property.

“This program grew by 75% in the first year,” Siewert said.

Siewert, who has served as executive director for the past several years, has witnessed the program’s growth since she first began volunteering as a middle school student.

Unlike the traditional therapeutic riding program, the new program is unmounted and relies on senior horses who have retired from carrying riders to deliver ground-based interactions with participants.

“When they transition into that role, they’re talking in their native language,” Siewert said. “They’re going back to nature.”

The sessions can vary from person to person, depending on their individual needs. For example, an equine-assisted psychotherapy session would include a licensed therapist or mental health professional, a certified professional from REINS, the participant, and, of course, the horse.

In these sessions, the participant works with the horse and professionals through their trauma and individual goals.

Siewert explained how a typical session may go:

“Let’s say the participant is an active-duty Marine who has experienced trauma, who has been through deployments, is quick to anger, has high anxiety and high stress,” she began. “Horses sync their heart rates with beings within seven feet. In the wild, horses are at a relaxed state but still hypervigilant – their heart rate and blood pressure is

of losses to have an impact on the future,” she said. “They weren’t lost in vain, they just didn’t have the right resources – we want to be that resource. We want to provide the help that’s needed in an accessible environment.”

In addition to the new arena, the ranch is receiving support from North Coast Church, whose volunteers are building a barbecue area and a small, one-room classroom for the foster youth program. Once completed, each child who participates in the program will have the opportunity to leave a handprint, along with their name and the date, inside the classroom.

“That way, they’ll always know they left their mark and can come back and see it,” Siewert said.

The mental health program for veterans, active-duty service members, first responders and foster youth will continue to be offered at no cost. Siewert said she also plans to expand youth services, along with parenting support, crisis recovery and grief counseling, at discounted rates to help sustain the program.

Participants in the mounted therapeutic riding sessions pay only 25% of the actual cost, she said.

“Accessibility is such a huge thing – especially in the state of California, where everything is so astronomically priced,” she added.

The ranch also plans to increase its electrical capacity, upgrade its septic system and add a new pasture for horses used in the mental health program.

To help sustain the program and increase access, Siewert said, scholarships remain a critical need for REINS.

down, and they’re relaxed but they know what’s going on around them.”

Meanwhile, it’s the opposite for people, particularly service members, whose heart rates can frequently stay elevated, which can lead to physiological issues down the road.

“So this guy walks in, and the horse takes off to the other side of the arena because it senses the elevated heart rate. That’s a predatory instinct, because a predator is elevated when hunting, which is why our soldiers operate at that level because they are trained for war,” she said.

The therapist then asks the participant why they think the horse ran away, with a typical response being, “They don’t like me.” As the session progresses, the therapist may introduce a grounding exercise to help calm the participant, often prompting the horse to move slightly closer.

In another activity, the participant may be asked to walk around the arena to help lower their heart rate. Over time, the horse may begin to walk alongside them.

Talking about personal problems can be difficult for

people, Siewert explained, because of a fear of how another person may react. Meanwhile, working with horses can ease that fear.

“If we’re sitting in a room and talking about our problems, what’s going on in our head? ‘I don’t want to tell this person how I feel, I don’t want to open up and be vulnerable, I don’t want them to judge me or dislike me.’ Well, the horse isn’t thinking any of that, nor

do we assume the horse is thinking that – especially when they’re walking with you,” she said. “They’ve just become a partner in your journey.”

Working with horses can be both mentally and physically draining, often leading to improved sleep, according to Siewert. She said this benefit is especially helpful for individuals struggling with night terrors, paranoia or

other challenges related to post-traumatic stress disorder and similar mental health conditions.

As part of the program’s expansion, a new arena has been built on the property to host many of the mental health sessions. Siewert said the arena will be dedicated to those who have lost their lives to mental illness and their families.

“We want those stories

“The biggest barrier to healthcare is financial,” Siewert said. “Mental health is the number one need in our communities. We need scholarships to offer these services at a reasonable rate.”

A FIGHT FOR HOME

Green Oak RV tenants hit with new round of eviction notices

By Leo Place

Tenants of an RV park at Green Oak Ranch in Vista received a new round of eviction notices last month following allegations that ranch owners illegally forced out residents last fall to clear the property for the homelessness nonprofit Solutions for Change.

Solutions for Change was set to begin a 10-year lease on 110 acres of the 140-acre ranch at the start of 2025 after reaching a purchase agreement with the Green Oak Ranch board last year.

However, legal issues related to the RV park have delayed this move-in by more than six months.

The RV park has operated at Green Oak for decades under the nonprofit Green Oak Ranch Ministries, a separate entity from the larger ranch, which also ran a men’s residential recovery program and summer camp on the 110-acre parcel.

Over the years, the RV park has been home to

Green Oak Ranch Ministries staff, recovery program graduates, low-income residents, and friends of landowner Arie De Jong, who died in 2023.

Some residents had lived there for nearly two decades, while others had young children.

In August, after the ranch board reached a land deal with Solutions for Change, they instructed Green Oak Ranch Ministries and all its subtenants to vacate the property.

In September, the Ministries issued 60-day eviction notices to the 32 households at the RV park, shocking tenants and garnering legal concerns from residents and city officials.

In late November, fair housing provider CSA San Diego issued a letter to the ranch stating that the eviction notices violated the Tenant Protection Act, as they had failed to notify tenants of their rights to relocation assistance (equal to one month’s rent) or a rent waiver, as required for no-fault evictions.

While the majority of

park tenants had left by December, five households retained legal representation to continue fighting their evictions.

They are still at the park today.

“They kind of pushed us to where we have to fight,” said Hubert “Reese” Reed Jr., who lives at the park with his wife, Lauren, and two daughters. “I’m just in a very precarious sit-

uation right now.”

Legal battle

Green Oak Ranch Ministries filed eviction cases against each of the households in San Diego County Superior Court in February, with the ranch also filing its own eviction case against the Ministries regarding the remaining RV park tenants. Both sets of cases were

dismissed via demurrer in late May due to a lack of cause, which Green Oak Ranch Ministries described as a “technicality.”

However, on June 24, residents were issued new 60-day notices of eviction by Green Oak Ranch President Dorinda De Jong. Green Oak Ranch Ministries also issued its own eviction notices in late May.

Attorney Dan Lickel,

who represents the Reeds and the four other remaining RV park households, said that Green Oak Ranch needs to provide residents with financial relocation assistance to enable them to leave. The ranch, he said, failed to consider the practical impact of the evictions on the residents. “Ultimately, the real-

ity of this situation is that I represent some folks who have been unable to figure out where to move to. They don’t have anywhere to go,” Lickel said. “What they did in terms of how they decided to terminate this RV park — it was not very well thought-out.”

Reed, 62, and his family have lived at the park for nine years in a manufactured home that was deeded to them by the previous owner. He said they have been searching relentlessly in North County and beyond but have been unable to find another park that will take their manufactured home.

In addition, transporting it is extremely difficult and expensive.

The Reed family hopes that the ranch or the Ministries will buy the manufactured home from them so they have the money to make a new start. So far, all of them have refused, Reed said.

Reed also suffered from a stroke two years ago, which has limited his ability to work, and he is afraid that the stress of this situation will cause him to have another stroke.

“I’m not 100% back, where I could just go get a job and make this money and get out of here,” Reed

said. “I have never been homeless. That’s a new fear. I’m like, we’ve got to get out of here.”

The remaining tenants have also been left without amenities that were previously provided, including showers and a laundry area that were removed by the ranch after the initial evictions were issued.

There has been some confusion over the legal status of the park due to its unpermitted status, and it is unclear exactly when it was established. Regard-

for families experiencing homelessness, with a focus on providing additional housing and workforce development training.

“We have a lease and purchase agreement that gives us exclusive site control of the ranch through 2035. We are praying, patiently waiting, and trusting that the land board will resolve the issues and deliver possession to us as soon as possible,” said Solutions CEO Chris Megison.

Ministries

The changes at the ranch have cost the Ministries a significant portion of its funding, as they will no longer be able to collect revenue from the summer camps operated onsite.

her choice to evict the park’s residents and that the situation has been extremely difficult.

“It was my responsibility to evict 31 households, including staff members, volunteers, graduates of Green Oak Ranch Ministries, my brother-in-law, my immediate family, and all residents of our unofficial RV park,” Gailey said. “I am deeply apologetic for any hardship

or inconvenience that may have resulted from the evictions at Green Oak Ranch.”

City leaders said they empathized with Gailey and thanked her for the work her nonprofit has done.

“Tenant issues can be really complex, and they require rigid adherence to the law. Your apology, it really means a lot, especially when the evictions were unexpected and quite alarm-

less, Lickel said, they are rent-paying tenants who are subject to protections.

In the meantime, the ranch has not allowed Solutions for Change to move onto the property until all former tenants have vacated the site.

Solutions for Change plans to utilize the land to expand its Solutions Academy, a program designed

In addition, Green Oak Ranch Ministries Executive Director Hannah Gailey said that the legal battle over the evictions has resulted in “significant financial expense” for her family and the nonprofit.

The status of the RV park was briefly discussed at the Vista City Council’s June 24 meeting, as the council approved $218,540 in city opioid settlement funds to support Green Oak Ranch Ministries’ residential recovery program and provide education about its programs.

During the meeting, Gailey stated that it was not

ing to the community,” said Councilmember Katie Melendez.

Staff and programming at Green Oak Ranch Ministries have since moved to another part of the ranch outside of the parcel sold to Solutions for Change.

Several of the Ministries staff who lived in the old RV park have since set up another park on the new part of the ranch.

Spam to Stroganoff: Pantry of guilty pleasures

Given all the great food I’ve experienced over the years via my Lick the Plate column and radio show, I still get the occasional desire to go lowbrow with my indulgences; my guilty pleasures, so to speak.

These purchases are somewhat triggered by trips to Smart & Final, where the aisles are lined with many of these temptations.

Every item I feature today was purchased there, except for the Chock full o’Nuts, which they discontinued; however, I was able to buy it on Amazon.

Since I’m on the topic, I’ll start with this decidedly old-school coffee brand, which dates back to 1932. I’ve begun a lighthearted effort to make it cool again, as it’s not particularly trendy. It really is good coffee, though, and I love the steel can design and its utilitarian functionality when empty.

Next up is Taco Bell Mild Sauce in a bottle. I only recently discovered this sauce is available in grocery stores, which will save me asking for 20 or so packets every time I go through the Taco Bell drive-thru, which is not much these days. Something about this sauce just works for me and

I put it on just about everything…including my Jorge’s burritos, I know, I’m bad.

Hamburger Helper Stroganoff is another impulse buy, and one that, when enhanced with a generous scoop of sour cream, makes me very happy.

It also provides a perfect segue into my next pick, Wonder Bread, which

is ideal for buttering up and serving with stroganoff to mop up the creamy sauce.

There are several other occasions during the year when Wonder Bread is not just a guilty pleasure, but an essential part of the meal.

It’s my go-to bread for the day after Thanksgiving sandwich as it forms perfectly around the turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce, keeping everything tight and in order.

Summer BLTs with Michigan tomatoes and Nueske’s bacon are another use, and for the same reason: keeping all those ingredients tight and from slipping out of the sandwich.

Chef Boyardee Overstuffed Italian Sausage Ravioli. I remember when the overstuffed version came out, it was cause for private celebration.

This is something I keep in my cupboard, usually hidden behind my healthier pantry items, and in moments of marijuana fueled munchies when the taco shops are closed, I’m really glad it’s there.

And honestly, another one on this list that I’m feeling less and less ashamed about is Idahoan Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes – yep, instant mashed potatoes. Talk about a quick, convenient and delicious side dish that

I’ve always been a fan, and the low-sodium variety is a versatile protein source in a pinch.

I’ll segue into the sweets with a way-back snack favorite, Doritos Cool Ranch flavor. I’ve recently rediscovered this snack of my youth, and it’s still a fun, savory, crunchy delight.

The sweet category includes three that take me back to my childhood again. Sugar cereal, as we called it, was not a regular thing in my house, so I remember going to college and having the freedom to buy Captain Crunch, and that was a big deal. When I do indulge in

I can also pair Wonder Bread with my next two picks, as it works nicely with Jones Dairy Farm Braunschweiger — or liverwurst, as most of us know it — and American Cheese. I’ve recently rediscovered liverwurst in sliced form, and it’s perfect on Wonder Bread with a slice of American Cheese.

They describe it on the package as “enjoy the smooth creamy taste of our family’s Old World recipe and the convenience of ready to use slices.”

Should also mention that a two-slice serving packs a whopping 170% of your daily vitamin A! And as for individually wrapped American Cheese, I always have some in my fridge, so I’m not feeling too guilty about that.

And then we have

can be doctored up with butter and a half a head of finely chopped broccoli and maybe some bacon if I’m feeling indulgent.

The frozen food section at Smart & Final overflows with guilty pleasures, so it was quite hard to narrow down.

That said, I’m a sucker for having my fish sandwich craving satisfied by opening my freezer and pulling out a Van de Kamp’s Beer Battered whole fish fillet.

Toast up a hamburger bun, add a slice of American Cheese and some tartar sauce, and it’s a decent interpretation of McDonald’s Filet O Fish.

And then we have Spam. I covered it expensively in a recent column on This Musubi Love, so it seems to have some newfound acceptance among the coastal elites who once shunned it.

cereal these days, it’s always Captain Crunch. PopTarts could also fall into the once-forbidden breakfast category, but they’re a perfect anytime treat. My go-to is either frosted blueberry or raspberry, and of course, at Smart & Final, you can get them in a value pack of 12.

I’ll wrap this up in the ice cream section, which again, is bursting with options I love. I had to go with the old-school classic Nestle Vanilla Drumstick, covered in chocolate and nuts. It’s still a pleasure, guilty as it may be, to come home from a night out and have a box of these to devour. So that’s a sampling of some of my indulgences. As always, my overall dietary mantra has been to eat healthy most of the time, but allow yourself treats and embrace the guilt!

A toast to Urban Kitchen Group’s Cucina stars

Urban Kitchen Group (UKG), founded and led by visionary restaurateur Tracy Borkum, recently celebrated a milestone 16 years in the making: the Sweet 16 of her Michelin Bib Gourmand flagship, Cucina Urbana in Bankers Hill.

Since opening, Cucina Urbana has redefined the San Diego dining scene with its creative, seasonally driven Italian-inspired cuisine, infused with the freshness of Southern California, and an on-premise retail wine shop.

Frank and I were excited to be invited to Tracy’s private anniversary party, a gathering that reflected her signature warmth and flair.

Cucina Urbana’s Sweet 16 party was an evening of food, drink, music, and community, true to the spirit of what Tracy envisioned when opening in 2008. Guests mingled with Tracy and her team while enjoying the lively atmosphere and inventive flavors that have become hallmarks of the Cucina name.

The restaurant’s modern Italian kitchen-meets-bohemian vibe set the perfect backdrop for the celebration. Three culinary stations showcased the kitchen’s creativity and commitment to quality ingredients and sustainability.

One station featured rich beef cheek ragu over creamy Tehachapi Grain Project polenta alongside a vibrant shrimp puttanesca radiatore tossed with Castelvetrano olives, capers, Calabrian chili, and tomato.

A second station presented a stunning 24-month Prosciutto di Parma with grande stracciatella, sungold tomato conserva, focaccia crostini, and seared tuna lettuce cups accented with olive tapenade.

The final station was dedicated to pizza, featuring soppressata and fennel sausage, mushroom and goat cheese with truffle oil, and a classic margherita that showcased housemade mozzarella and fresh basil. The evening was a testament to culinary director Tim Kolanko, also known as TK.

TK’s storied career has taken him from The Lodge at Torrey Pines’ A.R. Valentien to Liberty Public Market to Stake Chophouse + Bar — and now to his role as culinary director for UKG, which operates 10 restaurant units across San Diego and Orange counties.

Within the group, he

also serves as a chef-partner for several of UKG’s acclaimed concepts.

Since joining Borkum in 2019, his focus on sustainable sourcing and fostering strong relationships with farmers has elevated the quality of every plate served under his guidance.

Frank and I also visited Cucina Enoteca in Del Mar, one of Urbana’s three sister restaurants, for a full tasting of its contemporary Italian cuisine, also with a retail wine shop.

Executive chef Cesar Sarmiento oversees the kitchens at Cucina Enoteca’s Del Mar, Newport Beach and Irvine locations.

Classically trained at Le Cordon Bleu Miami and seasoned at Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant in Boca Raton and Chicago’s Spiaggia, Sarmiento complements TK’s vision, bringing collaboration and a sense of experimentation to every menu.

We were warmly welcomed at Cucina Enoteca by General Manager Joseph Breslow, Director of Operations Mark Bernardo, and Director of Marketing and Communications Jamie Mae Disney. Assistant GM Varisa “V” Lertburapa and our server, Isil Oz, ensured every detail of our dining experience was flawless.

Our meal began with roasted garlic and rosemary focaccia served with cultured herb butter and sea salt, followed by a delicate tempura-fried squash blossom stuffed with goat cheese and pistou and drizzled with orange blossom honey.

A baseball-sized pork and veal meatball arrived next, resting on a bed of mascarpone polenta and finished with a spicy tomato sauce. I paired these appetizers with a lush Polvanera Primitivo from Puglia, Italy, while Frank chose a crisp Benvolio Estate Pinot Grigio from Friuli, Italy and then shifted to the Primitivo after tasting mine.

Next came the Italian

chopped salad, packed with more than 14 fresh, flavorful ingredients, paired with a light margherita pizza made with dough fermented for 24 hours, resulting in an airy, delicate texture. I transitioned to a Stolpman “La Cuadrilla” Syrah blend from Ballard Canyon, CA, whose juicy, ripe notes beautifully enhanced our main courses.

For entrees, we savored two of Cucina Enoteca’s house-made pastas. The rigatoni bolognese, pre -

pared with veal and pork and brightened by creamy lemon ricotta, was hearty yet refined.

The signature short rib mafaldine was a revelation. Its long, ribbon-like noodles perfectly captured the rich short-rib ragu with mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, baby kale, and Parmesan cheese in every bite.

We concluded the evening with two standout desserts. The signature chocolate budino was decadent, layered with salt-

ed caramel, vanilla whip, chocolate crumble, and a cocoa nib tuile.

The pavlova, with strawberry, passion fruit curd, and whipped crème fraîche, was light and refreshing, with just the right tartness to awaken the palate.

It’s rare to see a restaurant reach 16 years and remain as vibrant and relevant as it was on day one, and even rarer to have a family of restaurants that continues to innovate and inspire.

Tracy Borkum and her talented team have given San Diego and Orange counties a gift with each Cucina location, blending Italian warmth, California freshness, and a welcoming, artistic spirit.

Man fatally drags dog behind truck

Suspect

claims death accidental; charges pending

By City News Service

REGION

— The man who admitted to dragging his dog behind a truck in the Spring Valley/La Mesa area, causing fatal injuries to the animal, told Animal Control officers that he forgot he had tied the dog to the vehicle after making a brief stop, and “was visibly heartbroken over the incident,’’ authorities said this week.

San Diego County Animal Services identified the man as 58-year-old Joseph Holland, “a person who is experiencing homelessness,’’ spokesman Chuck Westerheide told City News Service via email Saturday.

Holland was expected to face a criminal charge of cruelty to animals, Westerheide said.

According to San Diego County Animal Services, at around 5:45 p.m. Wednes-

Our hearts break for this dog and what it endured.’’

day, witnesses reported a red and brown Doberman being dragged by an older model black Jeep Cherokee that was going about 30 mph, which continued for several minutes along Bancroft Drive, near the 9100 block of Edgewood Drive.

Witnesses said the dog was flipping over while being dragged, and that the driver appeared to laugh and ignore bystanders as they attempted to rescue the animal.

Holland “told officers he was running Ralph, his red/brown Doberman, at a local park,’’ Westerheide said. The suspect said that

“when he returned to his truck, he tied the dog to the vehicle and went to use the restroom,’’ Westerheide said, adding that Holland “told officers he forgot the dog was still tied up and drove off, unintentionally dragging the animal.

“Mr. Holland was extremely remorseful and visibly heartbroken over the incident,’’ the spokesman added.

The suspect was identified Friday by Animal Services, who called it “a horrific act of animal cruelty.’’

“After seeing video coverage of the incident on television, the dog’s owner contacted county Animal Services and admitted that it was his truck and his dog involved,’’ county officials said Saturday. Animal Control officers responded to a residence where Holland was staying and confirmed that he was indeed the individual seen driving the truck in the video, they said.

Westerheide said the officers “did not arrest Mr. Holland on scene, as it is not our standard procedure to make arrests in these situations. Instead, we submit for charges, and the suspect is then summoned to court.’’

Vaughn Maurice, county Animal Services director, said the case was “incredibly sad and disturbing.’’

“While we are grateful to have identified the person responsible, our hearts break for this dog and what it endured,’’ Maurice added.

The department released a link to a highly graphic and disturbing video that appeared to show the crime. It can be found at youtube.com/shorts/37FzkK5_H8I.

According to ABC10, the dog was euthanized at a veterinary clinic due to the extent of the injuries, and the animal’s remains would be used as evidence for the investigation.

Shark Summer returns

By City News Service

SAN

DIEGO

— Shark Summer returns to the Birch Aquarium starting today, allowing guests to interact with sharks and rays while learning about the vital role they play in the ecosystem.

The Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego will offer the event through Aug. 10, hosting shark exploration stations, shark feedings, Sharks and Rays 101 talks and more throughout the month.

Centering around the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Shark and Ray Awareness Day on July 14, Shark Summer spotlights Birch Aquarium’s partnership with AZA SAFE Shark and Ray.

The SAFE Shark and Ray program is a collaborative effort by more than 60 organizations nationwide to work together to save the more than 1,200 species of sharks and rays worldwide from extinction, a statement from the aquarium reads.

“Birch Aquarium is teaming up with the AZA SAFE Shark and Ray program to make a positive impact on shark and ray conservation,’’ said aquarist Brent Fish. “We’re highlighting this unique and diverse group of animals to raise awareness of how important they are and the threats they face.’’

Every Thursday throughout the event, the aquarium will host Shark Summer Sunsets, featuring a place to learn about sharks and enjoy the views from Tide Pool Plaza and

The aquarium offers activities and education about the vital roles of sharks.

Blue Beach.

During Shark Summer, proceeds collected in the donation box in the aquarium’s Galleria benefit the Association of Zoos and Aquariums SAFE Sharks and Rays program.

All activities are included with the cost of general admission. Through Shark Summer, the aquarium will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Miramar flagpoles

The Miramar National Cemetery Support Foundation started a virtual gala recently with the goal of raising $100,000 over the month of July to restore its Avenue of Flags.

The 50 American flags line the avenue and welcome visitors to Miramar National Cemetery, and is the only one of 155 National Cemeteries across the

country to feature such a site.

According to the foundation, the 13-year-old flagpoles are in a state of disrepair and need the funds through the gala to do “major preventive maintenance.’’

“It was our honor to gift this Avenue of Flags to the cemetery in 2012 and now, the need could not be more urgent to get the flagpoles fixed,’’ foundation President Charles Bailey said. “The flags fly over our nation’s veterans and their families. It is our duty to keep them flying over the hallowed grounds.’’

Additionally, because the flags are kept flying constantly, the cemetery will likely need to replace the flags twice over the next year, incurring other costs.

The annual galas support cemetery projects. Several previous events have raised funds for permanent guest seating and other upgrades to the Miramar National Cemetery Memorial Amphitheater. Those renovations are “close to completion’’ and the amphitheater will be rededicated later this year.

To support the foundation and cemetery, people can donate online or through mail. The foundation is a nonprofit, and all donations are tax deductible. To donate to the Avenue of Flags, visit: www. miramarcemetery.org.

Experience the future of healing

Regenerative medicine is a form of molecular biology that revitalizes the body by regenerating, re-engineering, or replacing human cells, tissues, or organs to establish normal function. At our practice, we utilize cutting-edge human cellular tissue products and protocols tailored to restore your injured or painful area to as close to normal as possible.

Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with a bone, joint, ligament, muscle, or nerve problem? As we age, our ability to heal diminishes, and pain increases due to a decline in stem cell function and quantity. Stem cells

become dormant and nonproductive, leading to a cycle of discomfort and limited mobility. Replenishing this supply presents increased opportunities to reduce or eliminate pain in joints and nerve pain associated with neuropathy. By transplanting the correct tissue, in the correct amount, into the injured or painful part of your body, we can activate dormant cells, regenerate new tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore normal function. Unlike medications that merely mask symptoms, regenerative medicine addresses the root cause of your discomfort,

offering a promising alternative to invasive surgeries like joint replacement. If you’re wondering whether regenerative medicine can work for you, don’t miss our free workshop on July 16, 2025, at 5:30 PM, at Leucadia Chiropractic, 1351 Encinitas Blvd. Join esteemed presenters Dr. Scott SeBastian and Teresa Lambert, NP, as they share insights into the transformative power of regenerative medicine.

Attendance is free, but RSVP is required. Secure your spot by calling 760-9423321 today. Take the first step towards a healthier, pain-free future.

At the heart of Pivot’s approach is an individualized learning plan developed for each student in collaboration with a team of credentialed teachers and support staff.

independently, all with consistent guidance and accountability from their teachers.

For many families, this kind of adaptability makes

Sharp medical office workers unionize after layoffs

By City News Service

REGION

— A day after Sharp HealthCare announced it was laying off 315 of its employees, an additional 40 Sharp medical office workers voted unanimously to join SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West, it was announced this week.

The election took place by mail from June 9 to June 30 to join the union, which represents 120,000 healthcare workers across California. The medical office workers at all six offices known as SharpCare in Coronado, Chula Vista, La Mesa, San Diego, Santee and Spring Valley join 6,000 Sharp workers

across the region — including more than 650 earlier this year.

“We voted to unionize for the same reason so many other healthcare workers across San Diego have — to provide better care for our patients and a better life for our families,’’ said Sharmaine Figueroa, a medical administrative assistant at SharpCare Coronado. “Now we have a voice to improve patient care. Now we’ll be able to provide our loved ones a better, more stable future.’’

The workers who unionized Tuesday join those at Sharp Metropolitan Campus, Sharp Ch-

ula Vista Medical Center, Sharp Grossmont Hospital and Sharp HospiceCare who bargained for a contract in November that includes pay increases of up to 34% over three years, “major improvements to medical benefits, and a strong voice for workers in staffing and patient care,’’ a statement from the union reads.

“We’re not stopping at Sharp,’’ said Alicia Bradley, an anesthesia technician at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital. “I know healthcare workers at other facilities in San Diego. They’ve seen how much our new contract improves things for patients, workers, and this whole community,

and they’re ready to join us in SEIU-UHW.’’

Sharp’s leaders announced on Monday that the company was cutting hundreds of positions due to “dramatic changes over the last five years,” according to a statement from the company.

The cuts represent about 1.5% of Sharp’s workforce and include some executive and management positions.

“Our employees are the heart of our organization, and we value each and every one of them,’’ Sharp CEO Chris Howard said.

“We do not make these decisions lightly nor with-

out compassion for those impacted, and we are committed to supporting those affected during this challenging transition with career transition support, severance packages, extended health care coverage and other resources to assist them in continuing their careers.’’

According to the company, the majority of the cuts were in non-clinical positions, “resulting in minimal impact to direct patient care.’’ Senior executives will reduce their compensation by 15%, and Howard will take a 25% cut, he said. Howard said rising

costs are due to increasing labor costs, “state-mandated” seismic requirements, and less reimbursement from Medicare, Medi-Cal, and commercial insurers.

“The daunting financial headwinds health care systems nationwide have been facing are not letting up,’’ said Brett McClain, Sharp HealthCare’s Chief Operating Officer.

“While workforce reductions are always our last choice, we had to act now to align our resources with strategic priorities, navigate the financial challenges in health care, and ensure long-term organizational sustainability.’’
