Safety before speed

Locals urge city to rethink Encinitas Blvd. widening plan

By Leo Place

ENCINITAS — A potential plan to expand Encinitas Boulevard from two to three lanes is facing opposition from some residents who want to see the city do more to protect pedestrians and cyclists, following the death of a 12-year-old girl who was struck by a vehicle in April.

The discussion came up during a joint meeting between the Encinitas City Council Mobility and Traffic Safety Commission (MTSC) on June 25 regarding the commission’s draft 2025-26 work plan. The council reviewed the 10 recommended road infrastructure and safety projects outlined in the plan and gave feedback on which projects to prioritize.

Several community members spoke during the meeting about the need to create safer streets and slow traffic, including the family and friends of 12-year-old Emery Chalekian, a sixth-grade student at Park Dale Lane Elementary School who was killed on April 25.

Chalekian was walking in a crosswalk at the intersection of Encinitas Boulevard and Village Square Drive when a westbound Nissan Xterra collided with a southbound Ford Fusion and then struck her, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.

O’side greenlights massive transit center overhaul

Revamp includes apartments, hotel, transit upgrades

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —

The Oceanside Planning Commission has recommended approval of a major redevelopment plan for the Oceanside Transit Center, a mixed-use project that includes more than 500 apartment units, a boutique hotel, expanded retail offerings and over $100 million in transit improvements.

The commission voted 4-1-1 on June 23 to support the proposal, which now heads to the Oceanside City Council and the California Coastal Commission for final approval. The project site, located at 235 S. Tremont Street, spans 10.5 acres and lies within the state’s coastal zone.

Operated by the North County Transit District, the transit center is the largest in North County and serves multiple transit lines, including the NCTD’s Coaster and Sprinter, Metrolink and Amtrak rail services, as well as Breeze and Greyhound buses.

The site currently includes a bus transfer center, train platforms, NCTD offices, and two parking lots with a total of 560 spaces primarily used by commuters and beach visitors.

Nearly a decade ago, the NCTD board of directors adopted a policy to pursue development on certain real estate holdings, including the Oceanside Transit Center, as part of a strategy to reduce car dependency. The board selected Toll Brothers Apartment Living to lead the redevelopment.

The proposed project

includes:

• A new NCTD headquarters in a four-story, 59,156-square-foot office building, including a 1,692-square-foot Amtrak customer service center on the ground floor;

• Two five-story residential buildings totaling 547 apartment units and 790 parking spaces. Of those, 15% would be affordable, with 55 units set aside for low-income households and 27 for moderate-income households;

• New bus circula-

tion and relocation of the bus bays to the southwest corner of the site, shifting them from their current location at Seagaze Drive;

• A total of 1,768 public and private parking stalls, including a new above and below-grade parking structure with 801 spaces, 611 of which will be public. The existing cityowned parking structure at Cleveland Street and Seagaze Drive will remain as it falls outside the project boundary. Bicycle and electric vehicle parking is also

planned;

• A central transit plaza designed for small events, art installations, and performances, featuring green space, shade structures and seating;

• A 173,463-squarefoot, 170-room boutique hotel with 12,806 square feet for retail and food and beverage tenants;

• An additional 29,196 square feet of commercial space.

Public response was mixed, with several speakers raising concerns about rerouting bus traffic to Missouri Avenue. The Oceanside Coastal Neighborhood Association has pushed for an alternate plan.

“It feels like some of our grave concerns just fell on deaf ears,” said OCNA President Jane Marshall.

Transit officials defended the circulation changes, saying they would shorten the walking distance between buses and rail platforms.

“Even in the absence of this good project, we would have looked to move the bus bays anyway,” said

NCTD CEO Sean Donaghy, who added that buses currently struggle with access on Seagaze.

manage the hotel and residential components.

Commissioner Louise Balma voiced support for the project but asked whether bus circulation could be routed more heavily through Michigan Avenue, which she noted is wider than Missouri Avenue.

“It’s something we’ve waited on for a long time,” she said.

Jane Marshall President, OCNA

Donaghy also noted that the redesign accounts for the forthcoming Coast Highway Vision & Strategic Plan, which includes new roundabouts, including a potential one at Coast Highway and Michigan Avenue to improve traffic flow.

Under the proposed agreement, Toll Brothers would lease the site from NCTD for a term of 99 years at an annual rent of $350,000. NCTD will retain ownership of the land while Toll Brothers will

Commissioner Tom Rosales also supported the project, calling it a “logical addition to the downtown area” that would provide much-needed housing.

“I think it will be a really good addition to the community,” he said.

Commissioner Graciela Redgate cast the lone dissenting vote, citing concerns about a lack of outdoor amenities for future residents despite assurances from Toll Brothers about ample space.

Commissioner Emily Gonzales abstained.

The redevelopment has been in planning stages for the past five years.

Working off the clock?

By Summer Stephan

Wage theft is a pervasive issue in San Diego County, disproportionately affecting low-wage workers, immigrants, and people of color. Despite California’s robust labor laws, many workers are denied their rightful earnings, undermining their financial stability and dignity.

Before you shrug off that odd request to work off the clock, forgo overtime or turn over your tips, know that these actions are illegal and a sign that wage theft may be happening.

Wage Theft is a major problem across the state and the country and costs California $9 billion a year in uncollected tax revenue, not to mention the loss of workers’ dignity. It occurs when employers do not pay workers according to the law. Examples of wage theft include paying less than minimum wage; not pay-

ing overtime; not allowing workers to take breaks; requiring off-the-clock work; or taking workers’ tips.

Former commish blasts fellow Dem

Think back: When was the last time you heard the former occupant of an important political office, state or national, declaim publicly that a successor of the same political party wasn’t doing the job well and ought to be ousted?

If your answer is never, that would be correct. Jerry Brown has never criticized Gavin Newman. During Donald Trump’s first term as president, neither George W. Bush nor his father George H.W. Bush said much about his performance.

But John Garamendi has changed that script.

When I launched a Workplace Justice Unit in 2021, it was to be sure that workers are paid their wages in accordance with the law, and also so that the many honest employers who are following the law are not put out of business through unfair competition by those who don’t play by the rules.

This unit focuses on prosecuting criminal wage theft cases and labor trafficking, ensuring that unscrupulous employers are held accountable.

These practices not only violate the law but also erode trust in our economic system. We want to make sure all workers in San Diego are treated fairly and paid an honest day’s wages for an honest day’s work.

Also keep in mind:

• All employers are required to provide a pay stub to their employees

• Workers receiving cash pay are entitled to and should request a copy of their pay stub.

• A review of the pay stub would show the hourly rate, how the worker is classified and that the appropriate taxes are paid.

• Employees should keep records of hours worked.

Wage theft is not a victimless crime; it has real consequences for families and our community.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of wage theft, unlawful child labor, or of exploitation in labor trafficking, please contact our Workplace Justice Unit hotline at 1-866402-6044 or file an online complaint by searching for workplace justice at sandiegoda.com.

Budget: No taxes, big gains

By Jim Desmond

The County of San Diego has officially approved our new budget, and I’m proud to report that it delivers real results for North County — while protecting your hardearned tax dollars.

From the beginning, I’ve focused on the basics: public safety, mental health care, infrastructure, and support for seniors and working families. This budget reflects those values, and thanks to strong, responsible leadership, we were able to make significant investments without raising taxes or touching our emergency reserves.

Public safety remains a top priority. We secured $14.3 million for a stateof-the-art firefighting and search-and-rescue helicopter, and an additional $3.5 million to expand fire and EMS coverage in Pauma Valley and surrounding communities.

We’re also investing in new ambulances, fire stations, and Sheriff substa-

tions to keep our neighborhoods safe and prepared.

When it comes to housing and homelessness, we’re building real momentum. Three affordable housing projects — totaling 202 units — are already under construction, and three more are in the pipeline.

We allocated $15 million in regional homeless assistance and $2.6 million to clean up encampments and expand outreach services. These efforts are critical to ensuring dignity and safety for both housed and unhoused residents.

We’ve also ramped up our response to the growing mental health crisis. This budget includes an additional $24 million for mental health and stabilization services, along with $6.9 million to build a new 16-bed crisis center for children.

We continue to fund Crisis Stabilization Units in Vista, Oceanside, and Escondido — ensuring help is available where and when it’s needed most.

On infrastructure, we’re

delivering long-overdue improvements across our region. The budget commits $71.3 million to maintain 2,000 miles of County roads, including 690 miles in District 5 alone. We’re investing $48.3 million in road safety improvements — sidewalks, bike lanes, and guardrails — and dedicating $35.9 million to our parks and trails system, with 46 park facilities located in our district. Finally, we’re honoring our seniors and supporting working families by delivering over 1.5 million meals through community programs, home deliveries, and meal pickups.

Budgets are a reflection of priorities, and this one makes it clear: North County matters. I’ll continue fighting to make our communities safer, healthier, and more affordable — without adding to your financial burden.

Jim Desmond represents District 3 on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

An eight-term Democratic congressman from a Central Valley district and the original elected insurance commissioner (he served from 1991 to 1995), Garamendi is sickened by what he’s seeing from Ricardo Lara, the fellow Democrat who now holds the office.

He looked on silently for six years as Lara first took political contributions from the insurance companies he regulated, then was forced to return them.

He also said nothing when Lara began kowtowing to those same companies by okaying extra-high premium increases.

But he’s now had it. He’s told a San Francisco Bay Area television station that Lara “should go” if he’s unwilling to battle those same insurance companies.

And Lara is demonstrably not willing to fight the hand that fed him, the hand he’s not supposed to hold in any affectionate way so long as he’s in the office he now holds.

For example, when the insurance rates on a building directly next to a fire station in the hilly town of Portola Valley were raised 50 percent this year, Lara said nothing, did nothing to prevent it, even though its very location makes that structure about as fire-safe and risk-free as anyplace could be.

Garamendi pointed out that Lara, when a candidate in 2018, pronounced himself “leery” of insurance rate hikes unless customers were getting something in return, like more extensive coverage or guarantees of renewal.

But that’s all gone by the wayside. Lara has finalized a plan to allow insurance companies to assess massive rate increases even in areas with no significant fire danger without making the concessions he had promised to require.

For example, he promised earlier this year that insurance companies would have to cover 85 percent of homes

“The commissioner lied,” said the Consumer Watchdog advocacy group. “And companies don’t even have to meet that 5 percent threshold; they can opt out... if they want,” added the group’s president, Jamie Court. Lara’s response was to say new rates will “reflect the risks of where we’re living.”

But that’s not true, either, since all homeowners will be paying more, even if they don’t live in fire areas.

Said one Santa Monica policy holder who has never filed a fire claim in more than 45 years of home ownership, “Any fire would have to cross an awful lot of city before it got to me, but my rates are going up anyway.”

She is not alone. Meanwhile, some owners of city properties in sections of San Francisco with many older homes that have been remodeled in recent years (like Noe Valley and the Mission District) have seen their policies cancelled even though few claims have been made in those districts.

That led Garamendi to say, “Over the last three years, I have observed that this commissioner is not willing to take the hard task and the necessary task to stand up to the insurance industry. If the commissioner is not willing to do that… then he’s not doing his job and he should leave.”

In short, the pioneering insurance regulator Garamendi is saying, “Lara must go.”

But there’s no sign of that. As a candidate, Lara said that he was running because “California needs a strong defender, one who will stand up to bullies.” But his predecessor finds he hasn’t come close to doing that.

Which leads to an almost unprecedented political scene, with one Democratic party stalwart telling another to depart

5-story apartment complex approved

ESCONDIDO — A

divided Escondido City Council narrowly approved plans to replace a 1950s-era mixed-use building with a 35-unit apartment complex at the corner of South Escondido Boulevard and West 4th Avenue.

The project at 339 S. Escondido Blvd. will demolish a building that currently houses four apartments and an auto dealership. In its place, the developer plans to construct a five-story, 34,463-square-foot complex comprising 13 studios and 22 one-bedroom apartments, ranging in size from 441 to 812 square feet.

By invoking the state’s density bonus law, the developer is including four very low-income units, increasing the allowed density from 23 to 35 units.

Under Senate Bill 330, the developer must also replace three of the current units as affordable housing, based on the income levels of current tenants. The overlapping laws allow the developer to count those three units toward the affordable housing requirement.

The four affordable units will be deed-restricted studio apartments. The current three affordable units were only deemed such due to tenants’ income levels.

The project also utilizes a provision of the density bonus law that permits

developers to request an unlimited number of waivers from local development standards. The developer, identified in staff documents as Stephen Dalton Architects, plans to provide just 16 parking spaces by invoking AB 2097, which bars cities from requiring parking if a project is within a halfmile of a major transit stop.

Kyle Carruthers, president of KC West Real Estate and a representative for the applicant, acknowledged that parking would be limited.

“It’s not feasible to go underground, and it’s not feasible to go to two levels – we did everything we could to get the 16,” Carruthers said.

He also said there was “ample parking” available on West 4th Avenue, pointing to spaces near a nearby church. However, City Planner Veronica Morones clarified that the applicant had not reached an agreement with the church or any other community partners for additional parking.

The developer has also requested a reduction in the required open space from 10,500 square feet to 990 square feet.

The City Council approved the project in a 3-2 vote, with Mayor Dane White and Councilmember Christopher Garcia voting against it. Garcia,

The birth of the Green Marines water spot

Named after Kenny Eichenberg, the man who pushed to have it installed, they called it “Ike’s Light.”

Located on a stretch of highway non affectionately called “Blood Alley,” the gruesome tag was a response to the numerous individuals who died crossing Coast Highway in Cardiff.

The light itself was a response, this, to a proposal of placing a wall on the coast that would ostensibly keep people’s eyes on the road, rather than the surf.

To Eichenberg, the solution was far simpler, install a light with a button offering marching orders “Wait,” or “Walk.” While the commands are unpleasant, they remain far preferable to those of screeching tires and broken bones. Such lights are now commonplace throughout our city.

Carlsbad has since adopted flashing pedestrian signs. They allow beach goers to cross Coast Highway, keep traffic moving but fall short of answering the proverbial question, “Why did the tourist cross the road?” Hansen Surfboards, which is probably

the oldest remaining business in Encinitas, is located at 1105 S Coast Hwy. While traffic is around 100 times heavier now than when Hansen moved to this site in 1969, a stop sign from that bygone era remains planted there.

Hansen’s has recently proposed a pedestrian crossing light, something that will improve traffic flow and make our commutes a little easier.

Riding the cerebral roundabout back to Ken Eichen-

berg, I recently caught up with him at Swami’s.

You may have noticed that our city has been a lot quieter since he departed for Western Australia nearly 40 years ago.

While his accomplishments in that time have been numerous: building a world-class recording studio, recording music with World Surfing Champion Tom Curren, and surf film legend Jack McCoy, working with Sea Shephard as a protector of the Australian coast, and ad-

vocating for aboriginal rights, Eichenberg recently returned to Encinitas to spend half of each year here. While pleased with the environmental progress the city has made, he has some ideas to further improve our community. One such project is the Green Marine’s, a youth brigade dedicated to the elimination of plastics in the ocean. While a seemingly impossible task for most, this is exactly the challenge Ken,

Local police nab suspects in retail theft spree

By Jordan P. Ingram CARLSBAD —

Two suspects accused of stealing thousands of dollars in merchandise from a beauty retailer and hair salon in Carlsbad have been arrested and linked to a larger organized retail theft operation spanning multiple counties, law enforcement said in a release.

The arrests followed a report filed last week at the

Ulta Beauty store, where two suspects allegedly entered the business, filled shopping bags with nearly $9,000 in merchandise, and left within minutes, according to the Carlsbad Police Department.

A Carlsbad police officer responded to the call, obtained witness descriptions and security video that showed a suspect matching the registered owner of a

Wrongful death suit may proceed

By City News Service

SAN

MARCOS

— A state appeals court panel recently revived a lawsuit brought against San Diego County by the family of a man who died in San Marcos shortly after sheriff’s deputies restrained him.

The ruling concerns the October 2017 death of 34-year-old Kristopher Birtcher, who was shot with a stun gun and subdued by responding deputies outside a Hobby Lobby store.

Deputies and a psychiatric emergency response team had responded to reports of a disoriented man who was possibly on drugs near the front entrance of the store.

The sheriff’s department said Birtcher tried to flee, but was brought to the ground by deputies who at some point deployed an electric stun gun. The sheriff’s department also said Birtcher fought with deputies and spat at them during the incident.

Thursday’s ruling from a three-justice panel of the Fourth District Court of Appeal states the deputies handcuffed Birtcher, placed him on the ground on his stomach and “applied bodyweight pressure to his back while he was lying face down on the pavement.”

While restrained in this prone position, Birtcher gasped, ‘Can’t breathe,’ and called out for help.’’ Believing that Birtcher might be suffering a drug overdose, naloxone was administered. He died a short time later.

The ruling states a medical examiner opined his cause of death was

“sudden cardiac arrest while restrained,’’ with acute methamphetamine intoxication as a contributing factor.

Eight deputies who took part in the arrest were later cleared of criminal liability by the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office.

A lawsuit was filed on behalf of Birtcher’s minor daughter, but Judge Blaine Bowman ruled last year in favor of the county and dismissed the case with prejudice.

The appellate ruling states the plaintiffs argued the manner in which Birtcher was restrained constituted excessive force, while the judge concluded the way it was conducted was “by the book’’ and “as it should be.’’

The appellate justices disagreed, stating there were “triable issues’’ that could lead a potential jury to find the deputies used excessive force by holding Birtcher down in a prone position.

The appellate ruling also disagreed with Bowman on a separate finding that then-Sheriff Bill Gore couldn’t be held liable for negligent training of the deputies.

While the county asserted Gore couldn’t be liable because he was not personally involved in the deputies’ training, the appellate ruling states there was no evidence submitted “to show that Sheriff Gore did not play a role in the department’s training policies or the deputies’ training, or that he had no knowledge or notice of deficiencies in the training policies.’’

vehicle previously linked to other retail thefts, police said.

Shortly afterward, a license plate reader in Oceanside alerted police to the vehicle’s location.

Oceanside Police stopped the vehicle, and Carlsbad officers arrived to take the suspects into custody. Inside the car, officers found bags containing more than 440 stolen items.

The combined value of merchandise recovered from Carlsbad and other locations was estimated at $20,000, according to police.

Police said the suspects, whose names were not immediately available, were connected to a series of high-value retail thefts at Ulta Beauty and Sephora stores across Irvine, Lake Forest, Tustin, and Carls-

bad. The primary suspect was booked on charges including commercial burglary, conspiracy, organized retail theft, and committing a felony while out on bail for similar crimes.

A judge authorized an increase in bail due to the severity of the alleged offenses and their connection to organized theft operations.

Mountain lion hit by car released into wild

By City News Service

RAMONA — A young mountain lion injured by a vehicle has been released back into the wild after nearly five months of rehabilitation at the San Diego Humane Society’s Ramona Wildlife Center, officials said this week.

The male mountain lion, estimated to be around 10 months old, was released by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife into a remote location of the Santa Ana Mountains in Orange County on June 17.

He was transferred to the SDHS on Jan. 15 after being hit by vehicle four days earlier, and after receiving emergency veterinary care at Serrano Animal and Bird Hospital in Orange County.

The mountain lion was

suffering from a skull fracture, head and eye trauma, and lameness in his left hind leg.

During the initial weeks, the organization’s Project Wildlife team care focused on providing pain management, nutritional support and close observation. As he stabilized, he was moved to an outdoor enclosure, where he continued healing with minimal human contact — a critical part of preparing him for life back in the wild.

“This is the moment we all work toward — seeing a wild animal return to where they belong,’’ said Autumn Welch, wildlife operations manager at the Ramona center. “Our job is to provide medical care while preserving the animal’s wild instincts, so they have the best possible

ed interagency coordination with the Oceanside Police Department and regional law enforcement partners for the swift arrest.

“This case is a great example of how collaboration helps us combat organized retail crime,” the Carlsbad Police Department stated. The Coast News will update this story with the suspects’ names as soon as they become available.

Workers OK strike at Rady’s

workers with a local chapter of the Teamsters Union have voted to authorize a strike against Rady Children’s Hospital, the union announced today. On Friday, members of United Nurses of Children’s Hospital Teamsters Local 1699, “voted by an overwhelming majority, ‘’ union officials said in a news release.

chance at surviving on their own.’’

The Ramona Wildlife Center specializes in the rehabilitation of native apex predators and birds of prey, including eagles, owls, hawks, coyotes, bobcats, bears and, under special case-by-case authorization, mountain lions. The nonprofit serves as the primary resource for wildlife rehabilitation in San Diego County.

The organization is also caring for two orphaned mountain lion cubs who arrived at the Ramona center on March 26.

The UC Davis California Carnivores Program Team and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife safely trapped the cubs, who were found alone, and transferred them to the SDHS, where they are undergoing rehabilitation.

Officials said their goal is to raise the cubs in a setting that limits human interaction and allows them to build essential survival skills.

Once they reach a healthy weight, exhibit appropriate wariness of people and demonstrate independent hunting behavior, they too will be considered for release into suitable habitat.

The United Nurses of Children’s Hospital Teamsters Local 1699 represents over 600 technical employees among the 2,000plus members working at the hospital. The union said Friday’s vote “comes after months of stalled negotiations and a continued refusal by hospital leadership to offer a contract that values the critical work of the hospital’s technical unit.’’

Hospital technical workers include lab technicians, licensed vocational nurses, pharmacy techs, respiratory therapists and surgical technologists.

While union members approved a strike, that doesn’t necessarily mean one will take place, UNOCH spokesman Christian Castro said.

Bargaining is scheduled to resume on Tuesday.

“San Diego has become one of the most expensive places to live in the country, but our wages haven’t kept up,’’ said Jennifer Pratt, a radiology technologist at Rady Children’s.

A spokesman for Rady Children’s Hospital said hospital officials were “fully committed to reaching a fair and timely agreement’’ with the union.

The spokesman said authorizing a strike “is a step unions often take when preparing for the possibility that a new labor agreement may not be reached or that an extension of the current agreement is not secured.”

If UNOCH decides to call a strike, the union is required to provide Rady Children’s with 10 days notice. A strike cannot begin while a collective bargaining agreement or an extension of one is in place. The current agreement has been extended through July 5.

SAN DIEGO — Technical

San Marcos approves 165-unit Armorlite Lofts

set near Palomar Station

By Leo Place

SAN

MARCOS

— A new 165-unit mixed-use project is coming to a vacant site along Armorlite Drive in San Marcos, across the street from other housing developments, including Palomar Station and the Marc.

The San Marcos City Council unanimously approved the Armorlite Lofts project and associated entitlements on Tuesday, including rezoning the site from public institutional to a specific plan area, a General Plan amendment, a site development plan, and a conditional use permit.

The city’s planning commission also unanimously recommended approval of the project in May.

Armorlite Lofts will consist of five stories with parking and 5,600 square feet of commercial space on the ground level and four stories of residential space above. Of the 165 for-rent housing units, 17 will be designated affordable for very low-income households.

The 2.44-acre site at Armorlite Drive and North Las Posas Road is adjacent to George’s Burgers, an AT&T facility and the Palomar College Sprinter Station, and is close to several schools, parks and shopping areas.

“It’s the very definition of smart growth. It’s less than 1,000 feet from multiple options for mass transit, it’s flat, and it’s walkable,” said Councilmember Mike Sannella.

Other council members noted that the project provides convenient housing for the growing student and educator population in the city.

“This really does add to that missing middle that we have,” Mayor Rebecca Jones said.

Armorlite Lofts will feature a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments, along with amenities such as common outdoor and indoor spaces, a pool and spa, lounge areas, a fitness center, and barbecue and picnic areas.

Due to its proximity to transit, Armorlite Lofts is only required to provide 247 parking spaces, achieved through a combination of tandem and single-space parking.

As part of the project, developers are required to

mitigate impacts to the Diegan coastal sage scrub and non-native grasslands on site, and to survey for the possible presence of sensitive species, such as the Crotch’s bumblebee.

There are also documented tribal cultural resources in the vicinity of the project, which will require tribal monitoring of grading activities.

The developer also entered into an agreement with the Rincon Tribe to conduct an ethnographic study onsite.

SAFER concerns

Despite council mem-

Gas prices dropping slightly

bers’ enthusiasm, one nonprofit has raised concerns about deficiencies in the project’s Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

The Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility, or SAFER, is a Covina-based nonprofit that has filed previous challenges against proposed developments in North County — including those in San Marcos — based on the California Environmental Quality Act.

In letters exceeding 150 pages to both the Planning Commission and City Council, SAFER has alleged that the EIR for Armorlite

Lofts failed to analyze the impacts on indoor air quality and biological resources, and failed to adequately address comments from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

“SAFER’s objective here is not to kill the project, but we just wanted to engage in meaningful CEQA analysis and make sure that all the impacts are sufficiently analyzed and mitigated,” said attorney Mitchell Thielemann, who spoke on behalf of SAFER at the meeting.

SAFER submitted a letter with concerns about the EIR on May 19, the same day as the Planning Commission meeting where the project was being reviewed. The city and developer responded to the concerns, stating that SAFER did not “identify any specific deficiencies in the document beyond a generalized statement.”

The group submitted another lengthy letter in response to these comments on Tuesday, after the City Council meeting had already started. This exasperated council members, as city staff and the applicant had no time to review or respond to the new letter.

The council also questioned why no members of SAFER or any of their subject matter experts attended the meeting to discuss their concerns, instead relying solely on their attorney.

“To not even have someone that is here to ask questions of, that is extremely concerning. I want you to hear us loud and clear. I

sures to mitigate impacts to below a level of significance, and adequately addressed comments from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Representatives also stated that SAFER referenced outdated studies and data on wildlife and habitats that are unrelated to the project site itself.

For example, while SAFER said that the project fails to account for habitat loss and nesting birds, they included input from an expert who listed several migratory species that are not expected to nest on site, according to Armorlite Lofts representatives.

Another concern was the presence of formaldehyde in some wood glues used in construction, which poses a cancer risk. However, representatives for the project said new indoor air quality standards already mitigate these risks.

don’t normally get irritated, but I am very irritated right now,” Jones said to Thielemann.

In response to comments from SAFER in May, project representatives stated that the Draft EIR adequately analyzed significant environmental impacts, provided mitigation mea-

“We’re highly suspect of all of that information that comes in from this particular group,” said Matt Simmons of Collaborative Consultants Inc., the firm representing the applicant.

Armorlite Lofts is also across the street from the future home of the city’s new fire station at the former Karl Strauss beer garden.

Pets of the Week

SANDSHREW is Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s pet of the week. He is a 3-year-old, 9-pound, male domestic short hair cat with a red and white tabby coat.

Sandshrew was a stray until someone picked him up and took him to a shelter. When time passed and nobody came to claim him, Sandshrew was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters.

His report card describes him as a medium energy cat. Sandshrew was very shy when he arrived. Now, he has traded caution for cuddles.

He used to hesitate when anyone approached him, but now he understands that people like him and all they want to do is play with him. He is ready to pounce on a new family.

The $100 adoption fee includes a medical exam, neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, registered microchip and a one-year license if the new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Depart-

ment of Animal Services.

For information about adoption or to become a Virtual Foster, stop by Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza St., Encinitas, call 760-7536413, or log on to SDpets. org.

TEDDY GRAHAM is the Helen Woodward Animal Center’s pet of the week. He is a 5-month-old, 37-pound puppy with a white coat.

FINN is the San Diego Humane Society’s pet of the week. She is a 5-yearold, 55-pound female Lab -

rador retriever mix with a brindle coat.

According to the Humane Society, Finn is a bundle of energy who is always ready to play and explore. She can be a little shy at first, but will soon warm up to those she trusts.

in the draft work plan, several residents spoke about the proposed plan to expand Encinitas Boulevard in order to reduce traffic congestion, which has been discussed at recent MTSC meetings, as the city plans out projects to fund with recently-received Highway Safety Improvement Project (HSIP) grants.

Some speakers argued that this project will increase speeds and ultimately make the streets less safe for those not in vehicles.

“We know that a third car lane will lead to an increased speed and prevent us from providing adequate protection to our pedestrians and our cyclists from these high speed vehicles,” said Laura Van Dusen, a friend of the Chalekians who spoke through tears at the June 25 meeting.

City Manager Jennifer Campbell assured residents that no plans to expand Encinitas Boulevard have been finalized, and that options for how to use HSIP funds will be brought to the City Council in August to be discussed.

John Chalekian, Emery’s father, said while improvements are needed along Encinitas Boulevard, he wants to see more immediate action to make streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists. After losing his daughter, he is also concerned for his son, who walks and bikes to school.

“Safety is not a privilege, it’s a right. Please perform some actions quickly for the rest of our community and my nine-year-old

son,” he said.

Several residents said they see many drivers ignoring stop signs, exceeding speed limits, and committing other dangerous behaviors on local roads.

DRAFT WORK PLAN

After reviewing the draft work plan, the Encinitas City Council unanimously agreed upon multiple work items and projects.

These include standardizing striping and signage at roundabouts citywide; evaluating alternative routes for walking and biking to schools off of main thoroughfares; evaluating a marked and signed pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Le Gaye and Birmingham Drive; evaluating options for increased enforcement; identifying areas for safety improvements along Vulcan Avenue; making new Encinitas more pedestrian friendly; creating a bike parking policy for commercial businesses; and increasing safety education citywide with a focus on electric bikes.

City leaders noted that under the adopted budget, Encinitas will be hiring two new traffic deputies to assist with enforcement. Mayor Bruce Ehlers said this is the first time in 15 years that the city has added new deputies, and that increased enforcement is a major piece of the puzzle in addressing traffic safety.

“We have to turn all the knobs, we can’t just pick one knob or the other. What I had felt coming into this year is, we had been turning all the structural [and] street geometry options, but we hadn’t looked at increas-

ing enforcement,” Ehlers said.

In order to help with further enforcement, the council also directed city staff to look into a pilot program to add speeding cameras in the city.

At the urging of residents, the City Council also unanimously agreed to bring back an item to consider a state of emergency related to roadway safety in response to the deaths on local streets over the past year.

The city last declared a state of emergency in the summer of 2023 after 15-year-old Brodee Champlain-Kingman was struck and killed while riding an e-bike along El Camino Real. Residents noted that, aside from Emery Chalekian, there have been three other reported deaths in 2025 among pedestrians and cyclists.

In January, a 45-yearold cyclist was struck and killed along Encinitas Boulevard and a 66-yearold pedestrian was struck and killed along North Coast Highway 101 in separate incidents. In March, a 60-year-old man was struck and killed in March while walking along Jupiter Street.

“We’ve had four deaths in Encinitas this year. It’s really necessary to call the public attention to the need to slow down,” said former Mayor Tony Kranz.

Councilmember Joy Lyndes said she supported issuing an emergency declaration in order to address the issue of roadway safety more efficiently and effectively.

“I do want to express to the community that this rises to that higher level of a

state of emergency,” Lyndes said.

She also advocated for adding an item to the MTSC work plan to assess traffic impacts in the areas of new housing developments, to ensure the roads are equipped to handle the additional vehicles.

Several residents also said the city needs to focus on projects that force cars to slow down through new infrastructure and increased enforcement.

“We don’t know exactly when and where, but we do know we’ll lose more of our neighbors until speeds across Encinitas are brought down. Pleading with drivers to slow down on streets designed for high speeds is not gonna do it,” said Aaron Hebshi of advocacy group Encinitas Bike Walk.

MTSC members and council members said slowing traffic can’t be the only way the city addresses the issue.

Councilmember Luke Shaffer said infrastructure

Traffic circle project posponed

By Samantha Nelson CARLSBAD — City

Council recently postponed awarding a nearly $6 million contract to construct five traffic circles in the barrio and village area until late July, requesting staff to return with information about installing alternative traffic calming measures instead of traffic circles.

The item was originally scheduled on the June 24 consent calendar following approval of the plans back in March, but was pulled by Councilmember Melanie Burkholder, who represents the community.

Staff will consider other options including stop signs, speed bumps and hybrid options with traffic circles while also performing outreach to community members informing them of the potential change to the project.

Burkholder was against the traffic circles after discovering they would remove dozens of parking spaces in the community.

As proposed, the project proposes to construct five traffic circles at the intersections of Harding Street and Pine Avenue, Jefferson Street and Oak Avenue, Pine and Madison Street, Madison and Chestnut Avenue, and Chestnut and Roosevelt Street.

Staff previously said the project would eliminate 46

parking spaces but revised that number to 38 after determining that eight of those spaces shouldn’t have been counted due to existing red curbs there.

Additionally, 11 of those 38 parking spaces were already due to be removed because of the state’s new daylighting law that prevents parking within 20 feet of a vehicle-approach side of any sidewalwk, whether marked or unmarked, and within 15 feet of a crosswalk with a curb extension.

The project itself would then only be responsible for removing 27 spaces.

Other members of council like Mayor Pro Tem Priya Bhat Patel wanted to hear from community members about whether or not traffic circles were no longer desired before voting them out altogether.

She recalled the community’s interest in seeing the circles installed to slow traffic in the community back in 2019 during her early days on City Council, when the project was incorporated as part of the Village and Barrio Master Plan, but acknowledged that she has heard recent additional comments against traffic circles as well.

Transportation Director and City Engineer Tom Frank indicated conversations about traffic circles started back as early as 2014

when discussions about the master plan began.

According to Frank, staff is undertaking a threephased approach that would add more parking back to the barrio area.

The first phase would add eight more parking spaces on Madison Street and five more on Chestnut Avenue. The second phase will continue evaluating the removal of red curbs in the area, which would add approximately 10 spaces back likely by the end of the year, and the third phase would consider converting the existing parallel parking spaces to diagonal parking spaces on the barrio’s wider streets.

Burkholder, who said she was “closely connected with her constituents,” noted many of the local residents no longer supported traffic circles because of the loss of parking spaces as well.

Part of the concern with removing the five traffic circles altogether is the potential forfeiture of at least $4 million from a federal grant secured by Rep. Mike Levin (D-San Juan Capistrano) to help pay for the majority of the project. That amount would cover most of the $5.6 million project, of which the remaining $1.6 million would be left up to the city.

The same grant also secured $1 million for the

village and barrio lighting project, which is separate from the traffic circles project.

According to staff, if the City Council were to remove either one or all of the traffic circles now, that would mean missing the deadline and losing the $4 million grant for the project.

Bhat Patel noted she didn’t feel comfortable with changes until additional feedback from the community had been heard.

“We have money given to us by Congressman Mike Levin and it’s not a small chunk of change,” she siad. “I feel very uncomfortable just saying no today.”

Other Councilmembers including Teresa Acosta and Kevin Shin expressed similar sentiments about gathering more community input first.

The item will return to City Council on July 29, giving staff about a month’s time to gather more information about alternative traffic calming options.

Staff will also conduct an outreach initiative to ensure local residents affected by the project understand what changes could be approved at the meeting and request that residents attend to provide their opinions on whether or not traffic circles are the right move for the barrio.

for pedestrians and cyclists should be focused in areas where speeds are lower, rather than in major traffic areas on main thoroughfares like Encinitas Boulevard, which should be preserved for faster travel.

Councilmember Marco San Antonio agreed, noting that currently, drivers wanting to go faster are trying to detour through residential streets, which poses a major safety risk.

“We need to push traffic into these thoroughfares. I don’t want anyone speeding into my street to get to the next street,” San Antonio

said. Commissioners said forcing cars to slow on main roads may only exacerbate the problem, and urged the city not to make any reactive decisions.

“I think we need to understand that congestion drives people to have bad behaviors as drivers. As we get more congested in Encinitas, we can expect that more people will do these bad behaviors,” said Mobility and Traffic Safety Commissioner Paul Templin. “Slowing them down may create unintended consequences.”

After NFL stints, Davis takes charge in San Diego

By Noah Perkins

OCEANSIDE

— San Diego Strike Force quarterback Nate Davis gripped the wheel as his car pushed east along Interstate 8. With the June 28 bye week for the pro indoor football team offering a rare stretch of quiet, he was bound for his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico — a long road well-suited for introspection.

Reflecting on his NFL career, Davis, now 38, was candid: “The one thing I regret is being selfish, worrying just about myself. That’s the whole NFL thing, playing your role.”

Davis spent the 2009 season as the San Francisco 49ers' emergency quarterback but never saw game action. Brief stints with the Seattle Seahawks and Indianapolis Colts followed, both ending in quick releases.

“All my life, I was the guy, and then suddenly, I didn’t know how to react when I wasn’t,” he said. “So I’d think, ‘Okay, I’m not the guy, but let me go somewhere else where I can try to be the guy.’ That’s what I regret most — trying to force the plan instead of rolling with it.”

At Ball State, Davis

was a record-setting quarterback, throwing for over 9,200 yards and 74 touchdowns in three seasons, and becoming the first player in school history to pass for over 3,000 yards in back-to-back years. In 2008, he led the Cardinals to a 12-2 record and a spot in the Mid-American Conference title game. Selected in the fifth round of the 2009 NFL Draft by the 49ers, Davis made an early impression during preseason, engi-

neering three fourth-quarter scoring drives against the Raiders, including a one-yard touchdown pass to longtime NFL tight end Delanie Walker and a twopoint conversion. He followed that with a 10-of-15, 132-yard game in a win over the Cowboys and capped the preseason with a 21-yard touchdown pass to Jason Hill against the Rams.

During the regular season, Davis backed up starter Alex Smith and pri-

mary backup Shaun Hill on a Mike Singletary-coached team that finished 8-8.

“Just making it to the NFL was a blessing,” Davis said. “It was never about the money. I just wanted to play football. I think I got too comfortable, like I was on vacation, and that’s part of why I wasn’t playing. Looking back, maybe I should’ve held that clipboard a little longer.”

ating a faster pace and higher scoring. Rules encourage quick decisions and precision, featuring unique elements such as rebound nets and no punts.

For quarterbacks like Davis, this means adapting to a condensed playing space and a more dynamic style.

“When Nate’s out there, the throws he can make — the touch, the accuracy — it really changes the offense,” said Strike Force analyst Drew Ferris. “He throws a clean, smooth ball. The timing and rhythm he brings helps the receivers so much. He’s like a point guard back there — he makes every throw.”

“I’ve got a dog mentality. I want to win. I’m not out there just to have fun — the fun comes when the wins come. When you start losing and stop caring, that’s when it’s time to hang it up. I still get upset over turnovers — I think about every one I made this year.”

When the NFL window closed, Davis began a new chapter, signing with the Amarillo Venom of the Lone Star Football League in 2012.

Over eight mostly Amarillo seasons, he became one of the league’s top quarterbacks, leading the Venom to back-to-back Lone Star Bowl titles in 2012 and 2013, earning Co-Offensive MVP honors in 2013, and First Team All-Conference recognition in 2017.

In 2020, Davis joined the Duke City Gladiators of the Indoor Football League (IFL), quickly earning 2021 Offensive Player of the Year and setting a league record with 79 touchdown passes.

The IFL differs significantly from the NFL: games are played on a smaller 50-yard field with eight players per side, cre -

Traded to San Diego in April 2023, Davis appeared in 10 games that season, leading the IFL in passing yards per game (212) and tying for second in touchdown passes with 48. He followed that with 3,100 yards and 74 touchdowns in 17 games in 2024.

Through the first 12 games of 2025, Davis has maintained his strong play, throwing for 1,828 yards and 32 touchdowns with a 64% completion rate. The Strike Force currently sits at 8-4.

“The love of the game — that’s what keeps me going,” he said. “I’m still learning every day, even after 14 years. The game keeps evolving, and I’m always soaking up new knowledge — how to throw, how to move faster in the pocket, how to be a better leader.”

During the IFL season in Oceanside, Davis follows a steady routine: waking around 7 or 7:30 a.m., starting the day with the Pat McAfee Show, then practicing from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. After practice, he showers, eats lunch provided by the team, watches film, has dinner, then hits the gym for an evening workout before calling it a day.

“That’s my routine — every day, the same grind,” he said.

The San Diego Strike Force closes out its regular season July 27 at home in Frontwave Arena against the Arizona Rattlers, currently second in the IFL Western Division. As the team gears up for its final game, Davis’s car rolls steadily east through open desert — a reminder that, for him, the journey isn’t over yet.

“Even after 14 years, I still want to learn,” Davis said. “I want coaches to keep pushing me like I’m still a rookie. People say I have a lot of accuracy, but that’s because I work on it every day. You can’t just expect to go out there and be great — you’ve got to put in the work.”

Aiming at wrong targets

By Paul Gonzalez

Have you heard the phrase “Don’t spend your whole career climbing the ladder only to find out it’s leaning against the wrong wall?”

Have you found yourself pursuing a goal only to realize you were given incorrect information and are missing a better opportunity?

In this article, we’re going to talk about the most fundamental principle of digital marketing, which is almost ALWAYS overlooked or ignored by digital marketers: Keyword Research. It sounds boring until you understand why we start with keyword research.

Imagine, for a moment, that you are the best plumber around. You’ve spent decades becoming what business owners aspire to.

Then, along comes the digital age, and phone calls start to decline. You engage a marketing agency, and they tell you that you need to rank for “Best Plumber San Diego.”

That describes you perfectly, so you say yes.

After a few months, you rank #1 for the search “Best Plumber in San Diego,” but you haven’t seen more business, and the extra marketing cost is squeezing your budget.

This is why good data and Keyword Research matter. In the above scenario, one of two things happened.

1: Your agency guessed and didn’t use data.

Or, worse …

2: They did the keyword research, saw the options, and chose “Best Plumber In San Diego” for you, because it’s an easy win with only 40 searches monthly.

They should have used “Plumber San Diego,” which receives a whopping 2,400 monthly searches from people who need your help. But that’s a lot of work.

Oh well, it’ll be an easy win for them and you’ll keep paying the bill, never knowing why digital marketing isn’t working for you like it does for your competitor, who’s getting all the calls.

Ask to see the data. Protect yourself. Don’t climb the wrong ladder!

Mr. Yang had begun to feel a strange sensation in his stomach, so he sought medical help; he told doctors he had been too afraid to tell his parents at the time of the incident. He also thought the toothbrush would dissolve on its own.

But 52 years later, the nearly 7-inch-long brush was lodged in his small intestine, and doctors worked for 80 minutes to remove it. Dr. Zhou said the brush was stuck in a crook of the intestine and hadn’t moved for decades. [South China Morning Post, 6/25/2025]

The Hard Way

An unnamed Bristol, Connecticut, man was charged with burglary, trespassing and criminal mischief on June 22 after he tried to enter a public building through the chimney, the Associated Press reported.

According to police, the man’s dog was trapped in the building’s restroom after the doors automatically locked, and rather than call for help, he tried to shimmy down the chimney but got stuck. Firefighters responded and had to remove parts of the chimney and building, causing $5,000 to $10,000 worth of damage. He was eventually freed and was unharmed.

“If he had just contacted police in the first place, we might have been able to avoid the situation,” said Erica Benoit of the Bristol parks and rec service. [AP, 6/23/2025]

Oceanside backs Kelly Street housing project

Developer to repave roadway, lower pad heights

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —

The Oceanside City Council has unanimously approved a 35-unit single-family housing development in the Fire Mountain community, adding new conditions aimed at addressing traffic safety concerns raised by nearby residents.

The Kelly Street Lagoon Pacific project brings 35 detached, four-bedroom homes to a vacant 4.05acre parcel on the south side of Kelly Street between Hunsaker Street and Andy Lane.

The homes will range in size from approximately 1,800 to 2,400 square feet and will include two-car garages and driveways.

The development will provide 146 parking spaces, including 18 designated for guests, exceeding the city’s requirements.

Six of the homes will be deed-restricted as affordable, with three reserved for very low-income households and three for moderate-income households. According to city staff, the very low-income homes will be priced between $90,000 and $120,000, while moderate-income homes will range from $470,000 to $500,000.

The remaining homes are expected to sell at market rates, around $1 million.

Under city zoning, the parcel would normally accommodate up to 18 homes, or 4.35 dwelling units per acre. However, the developer, Oceanside Community Partners LLC, sought and received approval for 35 homes — 8.64 dwelling units per acre — by using provisions under the state’s density bonus law.

The project is the first in the city to apply Assembly Bill 1287, which took effect in 2024, offering a stackable density bonus for including both moderateand very low-income units.

The project will include a new private street off Kelly Street, as well as a separate pedestrian entrance. The developer is in discussions with a neighboring property owner to create a trail connection to a nearby shopping center.

The internal street

will be about 28 feet wide, with a narrower area of at least 21 feet between two lots. Shannon Vitale, a senior planner with the city, said that the private road has been reviewed and approved by both the Oceanside Fire Department and the city's traffic engineers.

“The site has been designed in consultation with the Oceanside Fire Department and would accommodate fire apparatus trucks and other service vehicles,” Vitale said.

In total, more than 170 conditions of approval were included.

The developer also agreed to additional conditions after community feedback, including removing a proposed 36th unit to create open space, reducing pad heights near neighboring homes by eight feet and limiting building heights to two stories, completing a traffic study for Cassidy and Soto streets, adding stop signs at Soto and Kelly streets and at the project exit, installing a radar speed sign on Kelly Street, and repaving Kelly Street from Soto to Andy Lane.

The developer will also install red curbing and no-parking signs along the project frontage to improve visibility for drivers exiting the site, allowing for both left and right turns.

The Planning Commission recommended the project in May on a 6-1 vote.

As part of the council’s final approval, the city will also conduct a city-funded safety study to assess potential impacts and explore further mitigation measures to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety.

Despite changes to the project, some residents expressed concern about traffic safety.

“Let me be clear: none of the staff reports or documents provided on this project, including the local traffic assessment, do not

meaningfully address either pedestrian or vehicle safety,” said Bob Ashton, a resident of nearby Andy Lane.

Ashton urged the city to require the developer to install sidewalks on Kelly, Hunsaker, Soto and Cassidy streets.

“This is the number one issue in our community raised during multiple meetings,” Ashton said. “We have school children walking these streets, we have families biking, many older adults – I walk my dog, I walk my grandkids – we all use these streets for access, and they don't have continuous sidewalks right now.”

City staff said the local government cannot legally require a developer to add sidewalks and that responsibility would instead fall to the city itself.

City Manager Jonathan Borrego noted that not all residents support adding sidewalks and said doing so would require acquiring private property and removing existing mailboxes, planters and walls, making sidewalk installation “a very complicated issue.” Borrego added that the city has already undertaken “extensive” traffic calming efforts in Fire Mountain compared with other neighborhoods.

“There’s always opportunities to continue to look to do more and we’d be happy to do that,” he said.

Sharp Memorial program helps patients breathe better

hen a health condition limits a person’s ability to breathe, it can

Sharp Memorial Hospital’s Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program offers personalized treatment plans to help people with respiratory conditions return to the activities and lifestyle they enjoy.

The outpatient program augments the care being provided by their doctor.

Sharp’s program can help patients manage common respiratory conditions, including:

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

• COVID-recovery lung care

• Emphysema

• Lung cancer

• Asthma

• Chronic bronchitis

COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT TAILORED TO EACH PATIENT

At the Pulmonary Rehabilita-

tion Program, a multidisciplinary team of experts is dedicated to exploring every option to help patients control and decrease breathing difficulties.

Patients attend two outpatient sessions per week, where they learn techniques that allow

them to breathe more efficiently and progress with their daily exercise routine.

One grateful patient is Maria Guevara, who spent five weeks in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) recovering from COVID and pneumonia.

After returning home, Guevara was weak, lacked muscle tone and could barely get out of bed. She required supplemental oxygen and developed pulmonary fibrosis, a disease that gets worse over time due to scarring in the lungs.

Her doctor referred her to the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program.

“Maria wanted to be active again,” said Kathleen Kennedy, RRT, RCP, Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program supervisor at Sharp Memorial. “She didn’t want to be afraid to leave her house due to her breathing challenges.”

Guevara’s therapy began with practicing breathing techniques during short walks on a treadmill. Little by little, she began to increase her exercise while decreasing the amount of oxygen she used.

One day while working out on the treadmill, Guevara was so focused that she didn’t realize she had been off oxygen for 15 min-

utes. She cried when Kennedy told her.

With a positive attitude and ongoing support, Guevara continued to improve. She soon learned that her lungs were clear and she no longer needed supplemental oxygen to survive.

She celebrated by going on the birthday brunch cruise with her girlfriends that she couldn’t manage the previous year.

“Maria was looking for hope when she entered our program,” said Kennedy. “But she’s the one who gave us hope that other patients could have success and get better.”

Training for intent: No holiday

You’re not building — you’re sharpeing. You’ve already earned your place. This isn’t about trying to make it. It’s about staying there, getting better and setting a bar no one else touches.

And summer? That’s not the off-season. It’s war season. Not with opponents — but with yourself.

At 4ntent, we work with the elite. The serious. The ones who understand that true freedom in sport doesn’t come from motivation. It comes from mastery.

Mastery over your choices. Mastery over your energy. Mastery over your mind — especially when fatigue tries to make decisions for you.

This summer, the mission is control.

CONTROL OVER DISTRACTION

You don’t need a hype team. You need clarity. Ev-

erything in your routine is either sharpening your edge—or dulling it.

Audit your inputs: What are you watching, scrolling and listening to?

Guard your space: Who’s around you, and do they raise your standard or lower it?

Discipline isn’t about restriction. It’s about protecting what actually matters.

FREEDOM THROUGH STRUCTURE

You don’t want less

structure. You want the right kind. You want a plan that: Builds your confidence through reps that translate. Creates mental space to think clearly under fatigue.

Gives your nervous system permission to recover, not just collapse. You want a rhythm that breeds readiness. Not burnout.

LIBERTY

FROM LIMITS

That’s the real goal, right? Not just more tro-

phies — but more control in high-stakes moments. To hit that gear that others only talk about.

That doesn’t come from “grinding.” That comes from owning your mind like you own your body. At 4ntent, we train that. Not with clichés. But with systems built on truth: Your edge isn’t out there. It’s already in you.

THE 4TH IS A REMINDER — NOT A HOLIDAY

Freedom’s not celebrated. It’s defended. Every lift, every rep, every reset in the dark — that’s your declaration.

This summer isn’t about the break. It’s about breaking the version of you that’s still holding back. This is your edge. This is your control. This is your legacy. Train with intent. Live with 4ntent.

DIY: Simple ways to keep your mouth healthy

Being exposed to the outside world makes the gums and mucosal lining of the mouth susceptible to microbial growth and infections.

Bleeding can give aggressive microbes access to your bloodstream, so it’s important to keep your gums from getting red and inflamed or allowing them to bleed.

Hygiene appointments on a regular basis ensure that undesirable microbes won’t create constant inflammation around your teeth and under your gums, HOW TO KEEP YOUR GUMS HEALTHY:

• Use Baking Soda –One way is to pick some up with a wet toothbrush and gently massage it along your gum line. Do this after brushing your teeth; rinse and spit out the excess.

• Use Hydrogen Perox-

ide to spray your toothbrush before adding toothpaste. Toothbrushes should be changed every 3 months or so, but it’s also helpful to clean them with every use.

• Floss Every Day –Floss daily; usually best at night after your last meal for the day. We have found Dr Tung's floss to be the most effective and comfortable to use.

• Use a Rubber Tip –Use a rubber tip to wipe the plaque off along the scallops of your gum line You may find a sticky white substance on the tip, which is plaque that is otherwise hard to remove.

• Oil Pulling. An ancient Ayurvedic practice adapted for dental health and wellness. Best done first thing in the morning before brushing.

Use 1-2 tbsp. organic coconut oil, a good base because it has antimicrobial properties. You can also

add one or two drops of food grade essential oils: myrrh to tonify the gums; cilantro for heavy metal detox; tea tree oil (melaleuca) to create a surface where plaque isn’t likely to adhere. Directions: Swish for 3-5 minutes. Do not swallow. The oil will mix with the saliva in your mouth – and the enzymes within the saliva – until it is watery. Rinse, gargle with warm salt water, spit out completely into a cup or other receptacle to avoid clogging drains.

• pH Paper – pH paper checks the alkaline/ acid balance in your mouth. Tear off a small strip, wet it on your tongue and the color will change. 7.0 pH for your saliva is best. 5.5 is too acidic; 8 or above is too alkaline.

Stay healthy and enjoy your summer. Call Integrative Dentistry at 760-6321304 if you are interested in holistic dental care.

TOOTHBRUSHES SHOULD be changed every three months or so, and it’s also helpful to spray them with hydrogen peroxide with every use. Stock photo

Festival reignites Vista’s craft-brew scene

I Like Beer

jeff spanier

On June 28th, Downtown Vista hosted the return of Rhythm and Brews. The event is the premier San Diego Brewers Guild craft beer and music festival, but has been on hiatus since 2019. 450 tickets were sold–a great showing if smaller than the earlier events.

“We wanted to start smaller and get it just right,” said Erik Fowler, Executive Director of the San Diego Brewers Guild. “We will build on this year and make it bigger and better every year.”

For North County beer aficionados, bringing the event to our neck of the woods was exciting. No battling with fair traffic or stressing over parking. Focusing on the excellence of our North County beer community has been a priority for the San Diego Brewers Guild. Vista was definitely up for the challenge.

To launch the event, Downtown Vista hosted a Beer versus Wine event in the historic AVO Theater the night before. Event co -

ordinator Bill Hornung organized the faux debate as a way “to bring the wine and beer communities together. The reality is both are full of fun, cool people so why keep them separate.”

Will Burtner (Will the Wine Guy) and Zeke Corley (Different Day Radio Producer) hosted and led the judge panel and audience through six local beer and wine tastings. Gentle barbs and good-natured exchanges highlighted the evening. Abnormal Beer Company’s Boss Pour IPA won the beer side of the competition while Burtech Family Vineyard took the top recognition for wine. Wine, overall, was judged superior by two votes.

While wine may have won the evening, the next day was all about beer as 30 local breweries.

Several of Vista’s newer breweries showed up and their beer servings represented the recent shifts in beer. Michi Brewing Company’s Cody Gagnon brought a New Zealand pilsner and a pineapple hefeweizen. Robin, a visitor from Carmel Valley, said the hef, called Mah-No-Ah, was the best beer she had at the festival. Her partner, Freddy, favored Battlemage’s Imperial stout, Blood of the Old Gods.

“This is the top beer event in the county, so having it right here in our

backyard is amazing,” said Mike Stevenson, co-owner of Carlsbad’s Culver Beer Company.

Matt Lawson of The Roadies Brewing Company explained that the Rhythm and Brews Festival helps with “reestablishing the camaraderie of brewers in the North County. It also allows us to show what differentiates us as a brewery and show off what we do to our community here in Vista.”

Community and camaraderie definitely were the theme of the day. For Burgeon Beer which has a tap room in downtown Vista, the festival “gives us opportunity to meet with Vistonians in the wild,” said Tori Bleher, a Vista native and Burgeon Marketing Coordinator. “It allows us to engage in our community in a face to face way so we get to know each other better.”

While most of the breweries in attendance were North County based, Fall Brewing made the trip from Mira Mar to join the party. “These events allow us to make connections, new friends and tell some of our story” shared Nate Squillace of Fall. “It’s important to meet the beer fans in person”.

While IPAs of all sorts were available, almost every brewery brought alternative beers and seltzers so there was something for ev-

eryone. One of the unique standouts was Weir Beer’s Haterade Hard Seltzer. Perfect for when the event heated up.

Although there wasn’t a mediocre beer in the crowd, my favorites of the day were Roadies Future Jamz (fruited sour), Booze Bros Dave’s Light American Ale, Fall’s Tora! Japanese lager.

On the hoppier side, Burgeon’s Carlsbad Crush Pale Ale and Culver’s Day Trippin’ IPA were light, hoppy, and had a dry, clean

finish. The success of the event helped highlight the excellent beer scene Vista has nourished. “Just look at the diversity it brings out from our community and beyond,” City Councilmember Dan O’Donnel explained. “We’ve worked hard to make downtown Vista accessible for everyone.”

Hornung added to the sentiment: “Downtown Vista is simply easy. Easy to park, easy to walk, check out public art, enjoy great

food and beverages, hang out with your dog and, most importantly, have some great conversations with friends.”

The return of Rhythm and Brews was a success. And hopefully we will host many more to come right here in North County.

Leaders give direction on designs for new parks

By Leo Place

VISTA — The Vista City Council reviewed conceptual designs this week for two planned parks in the city as well as updates to Brengle Terrace Park, in addition to community feedback regarding desired park amenities.

The city is planning to develop a future park at a property on Matagual Road near the Vale View neighborhood, and another at the vacant site next to the Vista Courthouse along Breeze Hill Road (not to be confused with the existing Breeze Hill Park at the nearby elementary school).

Over the past year, consultant Next Practice Partners and the Vista Parks and Recreation Department gathered input from residents through public workshops and mailed surveys about priorities for the future parks.

This input was used to create conceptual plans presented to the City Council on Tuesday, with plans also added to the city’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan.

“This will give us the ability to cost these parks out and understand what the projects are gonna require us to put forward to make them happen,” said City Manager John Conley.

PARK PLANS

The 2.2-acre Matagual Park project is expected to cost around $5.9 million, with the city acquiring the land for $2.1 million in 2023. The site was previously planned for a controversial hotel development.

Potential park amenities at the site that received the most support from residents were walking paths, playgrounds, and restrooms. The conceptual plan for the Matagual park

includes a playground with benches and shade structures, fenced dog parks, walking paths, picnic table areas, a bathroom, and a small parking lot.

Over at the courthouse site on Breeze Hill Road, the top-desired amenities voted by residents were restrooms, walking paths, playgrounds, parking, and a dog park.

Conceptual plans presented by the city include a splash pad, inclusive playground, two dog park areas, pickleball courts, exercise equipment, bench seating, tables with shade, walking paths, and a restroom.

While pickleball courts were not a top choice for residents at the Breeze Hill site, the city is planning to implement new pickleball courts in an adjacent parking lot at the site to replace courts that were removed from Thibodo Park last year.

City officials noted that the site is surrounded by fewer homes than other parks, making it a better location for pickleball as there will be less noise.

“Pickleball may not be at the top of the list, but it’s kind of the best location,” said Councilmember Katie

“Keeping the development modest would be both beneficial and respectful to local residents. A park of this scale should be reserved for a location that is large enough to accommodate the features without undue burden to the local neighborhood,” Rick McAvoy, a resident of the nearby Charlemont Condominiums across Breeze Hill Road, wrote to the council.

Melendez also said that while it’s important to have splash pads at parks outside of just the Wave Waterpark, she wasn’t sold on having it at the Breeze Hill site. However, she said she would be okay with leaving the splash pad in the conceptual plan for now.

Improvements totaling nearly $17 million are also planned at Brengle Terrace Park. One major planned improvement is the addition of 287 parking spaces for the Moonlight Amphitheatre along Jim Porter Parkway, in addition to a new walking path to the theater from the lot.

The city is also planning the development of a small building for theatre operations. Other planned

However, some residents still have concerns about the level of noise that will be generated by pickleball, the dog park, the splash pad, and other planned amenities at the Breeze Hill/ courthouse site.

“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”

staff also provided an update on Wíivay Park, also known as Paseo Buena Vista Park, along the Vista Conservancy Trail, which went out to bid in late 2024.

In recent months, the city has implemented exercise stations at the north end of the site, and is planning other uses including dog parks, benches, and shaded tables. However, staff found out that a large portion of the site has a cultural easement, requiring further discussions with local Native American tribes before additional plans can move forward.

Other plans for the park based on resident feedback included walking paths, a community garden, and restrooms.

Several residents shared opposition to using synthetic turf at any of the park sites, including improvements to the Wave Waterpark. They noted that many forms of turf contain harmful chemicals, and that this material grows very hot in the sun and does not result in water savings compared to natural grass.

Council members said they would like to use alternatives to synthetic turf wherever possible, but did not discuss the topic indepth.

FUNDING PRIORITIES

round of that funding has been paused by the federal government.

improvements are a new splash pad next to the sand volleyball court, renovations to the existing volleyball courts and restroom, and a new pathway from the pickleball and tennis courts to the restroom.

consumer reach, and financial results. Locally, the agency supports organizations including Operation HOPE-North County in Vista, Brother Benno’s, Boys and Girls Club, Oceanside Soccer Club and San Diego Humane Society.

OCEANSIDE ARTIST

The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library recently named Oceanside artist Taylor Chapin as the new executive director for the Murals of La Jolla project, which recently installed its 50th mural.

Raider, a 1-year-old rescued Labrador mix, is currently in training and will join the crew in August to help support emotional wellness and reduce operational stress for sailors and marines.

CARLSBAD GRANTS

Carlsbad Charitable

As far as funding for new parks and improvements, the city has around $10.2 million in park development funds, and is also seeking various grants to help leverage these funds, according to City Manager John Conley.

The Matagual park site is believed to be a strong contender for national funding through the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership program, but the next

Foundation recently awarded $80,000 to five local nonprofits $15,000 to the Foundation for Women Warriors, $13,000 to Kids’ Turn San Diego, $15,000 to Olive Crest, $11,000 to ProduceGood, $18,500 to Women’s Resource Center, and $7,500 to Sleep in Heavenly Peace.

NURSING GRANT

The Rebuilding Nurse Infrastructure state grant awarded $1.2 million to MiraCosta College to expand its nursing program, allowing the college to in-

“I know there’s another round of federal grants that were supposed to come in the fall, but everything is on pause right now. We really are signed up for every alert for any kind of grant that’s out there, so the second something comes up, we’re right on top of applying for it,” said Parks and Recreation Director Mike Pacheco.

For next steps, city staff recommended prioritizing the implementation of pickleball courts at the

crease enrollment by 26%.

The grant serves to combat a 46% shortfall of registered nurses in the San Diego region.

SUMMER MEALS

Oceanside Public Library has once again launched Lunch at the Library, a free summer meal program for children and teens, until Aug. 8. No registration or library card required. Times include 11 to 11:45 a.m. at the Civic Center Library, and from 12 to 12:45 p.m. at John Landes Community Center and Joe Balderrama Park.

Breeze Hill/courthouse site, followed by improvements at Brengle Terrace Park, then the Matagual Park site, followed by the other park plans for the Breeze Hill/courthouse and Wíivay sites.

“We recommend just waiting to see what future grants are out there and trying to see which of those parks would be more competitive,” Pacheco said for the latter two parks.

Vista currently has 21 parks, and 49% of residents live within a 10-minute walk of a park, according to the city.

The studio offers a wide range of classes and services including sound healing, reiki and energy healing, spiritual advising and intuitive healing, moon rituals, chakra balancing, kundalini rebirthing, somatic movement and breathwork, tea and tarot, meditation yoga, private one-on-one healing sessions, and weekly beachside yoga at Tower 39 and Beach Terrace Inn.

NUCLEAR AWARENESS

Nearly 200 runners, walkers and volunteers participated in the Samuel Lawrence Foundation’s 3.6-mile walk/run along the coast in Carlsbad and Oceanside on June 21 to raise awareness about the 3.6 million pounds of nuclear waste stranded at San Onofre State Beach. The route symbolized one mile for every million pounds of waste.

ANIMAL HOUSE

Protect & share: Loreto treasures its water assets

Iwas only thigh-high in the crystalline water off a secluded beach on Isla Coronado, but dozens of multi-striped fish called sergeant majors darted between my legs. These exotic-looking creatures are just a tiny fraction of the colorful ocean life that inhabits the waters surrounding this island in the Gulf of California.

The uninhabited patch of terrain, created by a volcano that last belched in 1539, is home to a few species of reptiles, colonies of sea lions and plenty of pelicans, gulls, terns and blue-footed boobies.

This visit to Isla Coronado was Day Two of a fourday visit to Loreto, a town of 16,000 about three-fourths the way down the east coast of the Baja Peninsula.

Loreto’s main selling point: It is not a party town. It does, however, offer an authentic, small-Mexican-town experience, excellent cuisine, deep history, and perhaps its biggest assets — the neighboring waters and the islands not far offshore.

“We love tourists,” said Ivette Granados, Loreto

resident, marine geologist and operations manager for the Loreto Region of the Baja California Sur Tourism Board, “but we want them to understand the efforts that this community is doing to evolve to be a very conscious town (that) preserves, protects and shares what we have.”

The preserving and protecting began in 1996 with the creation of the Loreto Bay National Marine Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that covers 800 square miles. It includes Isla Coronado and four other islands — one of which is designated only for scientific research. Fishing is not allowed in certain areas of the park, and where it is, the limit is one. After

that, it’s catch-and-release.

Two days within the park proved that the townspeople had made the right decision.

Our first day in the park took us to Isla Coronado via a small, shaded boat that motored out of Loreto.

As the cruise unfolded, we viewed a coastline dominated by the dramatic, jagged mountains called Sierra de la Giganta, created by eons of earthquakes, tectonic shifting and volcanic eruptions.

The mountains’ sharp, rocky silhouette, accentuated by a cloudless sky, cleverly camouflaged areas of tropical growth, waterfalls and teeming biodiversity, looked as if it had been cut out by a giant pair of scis-

sors.

From Isla Coronado’s pristine, half-moon-shaped beach, we saw only a dozen or so other humans — a rarity in a world where tourist-heavy destinations like Venice, Barcelona, Hawaii and Machu Picchu actively discourage the hordes of visitors because of their negative impact on local life and the environment.

On our second day in the park, we moved through the transparent waters via the Oloyumi (Eys of the Sea), owned by Luxury Baja Sailing.

The 12-passenger catamaran docks at Marina Puerto Escondido, a private, modern, naturally protected harbor about 30 minutes south of Loreto.

Puerto Escondido berths high-end sailboats and multimillion-dollar yachts.

Skipper Jorge Ortiz and first mates Alberto Morales (from Chula Vista) and Sergio Romero (a wizard with grilled chicken, fruits and vegetables) took charge of boat and passengers.

The crew knows these waters intimately, and after weaving along the otherworldly coastline, we anchored off the coast of Isla Danzante for lunch and snorkeling.

Jacques Cousteau once called this area the “Aquarium of the World” because of the concentration and diversity of marine life in the park. We saw some of it without even getting into the teal water, but those

who went over the side of the Oloyumi with snorkeling gear had some unforgettable close encounters.

Our second day in the marine park was capped off with Sergio’s melt-inyour-mouth grilled chicken (ingredients included pineapple, strawberry jam, vinegar, ketchup and habanero sauce) and a dozen-dolphin escort as we headed home.

The dolphins raced alongside the Oloyumi, soaring and diving into the water, which mirrored just the way I felt after a both tranquil and exciting day in the Loreto National Marine Park.

Tree doctor wins ‘best of’ award two years in a row

For over 40 years, Russell Bowman has been delighting residents of San Diego County with his plant and tree expertise.

So, it’s no wonder Bowman Plant & Tree Care Specialists have been named the San Diego Union-Tribune Community Press’ “Best of North County” voters’ poll for tree and plant care for a 2nd year in a row!

He is lovingly referred to as the San Diego “tree doctor extraordinaire” by his clients, Bowman is known for transforming sickly trees and gardens into Disneyesque wonderlands.

Using his own happy juice, a proprietary blend of organic biological nutrition, Bowman uses techniques he picked up during his time as a horticulturist at Disneyland.

“When you feed plants, you need to ensure they have enough time to absorb the nutrition, before it is degraded by the sun’s rays,” he said.

He’s done more than just care for sick plants and trees, he’s revolutionized both residential and commercial properties by the use of his organic fertilizer tanks that inject his proprietary formula through your irriga-

tion systems.

He fills these magical fertigation tanks monthly to keep your property looking healthy and vibrant all year long.

In a very short time, this program pays back through reduced water bills.

“When you give your body proper nutrition, it affects your overall health and boosts your immunity, so you don’t get sick. The same is true for plants and trees.”

Bowman feeds complete “nutrition delivery biology” derived from earthworm castings to replenish the missing healthy soil biology.

This works with a client’s current irrigation system so that each time the landscaping is watered, the needed soil biology is replenished.

“This is the secret to keeping your property looking like a Disney five-star resort.”

Russell is quick to point out that healthy plants and trees are also environmentally friendly. A healthy plant will be more efficient at photosynthesizing sunlight into oxygen and the healthy soil/ compost helps bring down uses far less water.

He donates his time and

expertise for the trees for the Point Loma Association and gardens at the Rock Church in Point Loma, Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, the YMCA, Barnes Tennis Center, Chili’s Restaurants, Stone Brewery in Escondido, and San Diego Botanic Garden.

He also served with the San Diego Rose Society in Balboa Park for 12 years.

“My calling is to beautify the earth, making trees and plants healthy,” The Master Gardener taught me everything I know. I’ve learned that when you love something, it’s not something you have to do; it’s something you want to do.”

To learn more about Bowman and his services, please contact Russell at 858-499-9417. He provides tree and plant nutritional care as well as ongoing routine garden maintenance.

COMPLEX

who represents District 3 where the project is located, said the complex would have a negative impact on the surrounding area.

“We’re looking at a concrete jungle,” Garcia said. “This is going to be a big burden for the neighboring businesses. I don’t like what I’m seeing.”

White expressed concern that the project’s location near a transit center wouldn’t prevent residents from owning vehicles. “This is just going to be a giant headache for the city,” he said.

City Attorney Mike McGuinness advised the council that it could not deny density bonus waivers without evidence of a specific adverse impact.

Join AARP California for the San Diego Scam Jam Tour with a free fraud pre-

mi’s stairs. While debating where to get hernia surrgeries, a lifeguard named Christian pulled up in his truck and offered to drive the sculpture back to his destination, at Moonlight Beach. From there, we could easily transport it to Green Marine headquarters, in Encinitas. For his act of kindness, and because of his regularly stopping to remove trash from the beach, we have nominated Christian as “Green Marine of the month,” an honor with absolutely no benefits other than our undying thanks and one of the first Green Marine T-shirts we will soon make. Stay tuned to this column for more information on the Green Marines. Together we can win the war against the plastics chocking out our favorite playground.
