School employee arrested

Tech worker faces child porn charges

By Leo Place

ENCINITAS — A technology support specialist at Cardiff School District in Encinitas has been arrested on suspicion of possessing explicit images of children, the district said in a message to families on Monday.

The school district stated that Jesus “Jesse” Sotelo, 41, was placed on immediate administrative leave following his arrest. The district said he did not work as a classroom teacher or aide, and they do not believe his alleged activities were connected to district students or schools in any way.

“The district conducted a thorough review of the technology associated with the employee and found no evidence on district computers to suggest that such material was present on campus,” Superintendent Jill Venson said in an email to district families.

The small school district has just two schools — Cardiff Elementary and Ada Harris Elementary.

The district also emphasized that all employees undergo a background check and fingerprint clearance before being hired.

“We understand that news like this is unsettling. We are cooperating fully with law enforcement, and we will continue to provide updates as appropriate, given the ongoing investigation, the legal process, and the confidentiality of personnel matters,” Venson said.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office and District Attorney’s Office did not provide a comment.

Jury’s verdict stands in martial arts injury

By City News Service DEL MAR —

The California Supreme Court has declined to review a civil jury verdict that awarded more than $46 million to a man who sustained a spinal cord injury during a Brazilian jiu-jitsu lesson in Del Mar that rendered him a quadriplegic.

Attorneys for Jack Greener alleged that on Nov. 29, 2018, he was a beginner 23-year-old student at Del Mar Jiu-Jitsu Club who was paired

with instructor Francisco Iturralde, a second-degree black belt who placed Greener in a position that put his entire body weight upon Greener and crushed his cervical vertebrae, paralyzing him.

Greener was hospitalized for several months and suffered multiple strokes among a series of other ailments, according to his attorneys, who said he was weeks away from

Vista’s protected bike lanes cause some pains

By Leo Place

VISTA — An ongoing project to install protected bike lanes throughout Vista is raising safety concerns for some travelers along Melrose Drive, prompting the City Council to reconsider several recently installed berms and delineators in the Shadowridge area.

As of last week, the city has installed protected bike lanes with stripe painting, berms and delineators along northbound South Melrose, Taylor Street, North Santa Fe Avenue, and Longhorn Drive.

Southbound South Melrose and Sycamore remain under construction, and more protected bike lanes will be added in the future along Olive Avenue, North Melrose, Vista Village Drive, East Bobier Way and East Vista Way.

At the suggestion of District 4 Councilmember Dan O’Donnell, the council agreed in a 4-1 vote on May 27 to remove all berms and delineators installed along Melrose Drive between Shadowridge Drive and Dawson Drive, and replace all berms with additional delineators between Dawson Drive and Faraday Avenue.

O’Donnell said many residents have reached out with concerns about the berms in these areas, citing the safety risks and traffic impacts they present to drivers and bikers. One danger is that bikers may accidentally hit a berm while traveling downhill at high speed, which could result in severe injury.

“For District 4, the topography is so different

than anywhere else in the city. There’s so much ingress and egress,” O’Donnell said.

The decision was made after more than three hours of discussion, including dozens of public comments, regarding the berms. Some residents complained that when the berms were first installed, they were not painted or striped, which made them difficult for drivers to see and caused some accidents.

“The first indication that something was seri-

ously wrong was when I saw whole black berms being placed on the road with no other sensory cues,” said resident Armen Kurdian. “This was not well thought out, and it was not well implemented.”

Other residents said that because the berms now physically separate the side of the road from vehicle lanes, cars cannot pull off onto the shoulder when there is an accident, which can back up traffic. They also voiced worries about

emergency vehicle access.

“From my point of view, the adverse consequences have far outweighed any benefits gained, and I think there’s other solutions that could be done to create safety for the bikes without the hazards,” said resident Jim Manning.

However, many cyclists spoke at the meeting to say that the protected lanes make them feel safer.

Residents living along and near Melrose said people often speed down the roadway, making it dangerous for cyclists. Several also recalled the tragic death of a cyclist killed last year along Melrose.

“We rely on the city to ensure that everyone of all ages and all modes of transport are safe. Melrose is not a freeway, it’s a neighborhood,” resident Maria Jolliff said.

Middle school student and Boy Scout Asher Law, who lives near Vista Sports Park, said he and his friends often bike in the area and are grateful for the protect-

ed bike lanes.

“I feel that these protected bike lanes are necessary,” Law said. “People might argue that it’s inconvenient, but speed should not be favored over safety.”

Council dispute

Mayor John Franklin urged the City Council to authorize removing all of the berms put in so far in the city and forgo those that remain to be installed, claiming that the majority of residents, including many on social media, were opposed to them.

As of last week, approximately 70% of the project has been completed, with $1 million in work remaining, according to City Manager John Conley. The estimated cost to remove the already-installed berms is approximately $500,000.

Franklin argued that the city could cut their losses and not spend any more money on the project.

“If you want to have a vote to save half a million dollars, that’s a fiscally prudent decision,” Franklin said. “Why not sometimes just give the people what they want? They think it’s dangerous because it is. They think it’s ugly because it is.”

Concerns about the safety of protected bike lanes have also been shared

in Encinitas, where they are installed along Coast Highway 101. During the Vista council meeting, Franklin asked Encinitas Traffic Commissioner Ron Medak to speak about the data he has gathered from law enforcement and residents’ accounts about bike accidents along the corridor.

Except for Councilmember Jeff Fox, council members said they would not be in favor of this. District 1 Councilmember Corinna Contreras said safer bike facilities have been needed for a long time, especially in her district.

“I’m sorry if you don’t like what we’re doing, but my constituents, they have begged for more safety, and I’m gonna fight for them,” Contreras said.

Vista Fire Chief Gerard Washington spoke about some of the safety concerns. He confirmed that the protected lanes will cause more traffic backups if there is an accident on the roadway because people cannot pull over.

While the protected lanes have not been in place very long, he said the department can collect more data going forward about related accidents.

“I can’t speak to how many accidents will hap-

Tri-City to partner with Sharp HealthCare

Hospital pivots after failed talks with UCSD Health

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— The Tri-City Healthcare District board has voted unanimously to partner with Sharp HealthCare, the county’s largest healthcare system, to assume operations and financial responsibility of Tri-City Medical Center and transform the hospital into a key hub for acute care in North County.

The board’s May 29 decision follows years of efforts to improve the hospital’s financial stability and patient services. The move also represents a complete reversal from the board’s October 2023 decision, which named UC San Diego Health as its preferred partner over Sharp.

After talks with UCSD Health fell through in July 2024 due to an impasse in the terms of the agreement, Tri-City reopened its search and reached out to 25 potential partners before receiving new proposals from both Sharp and UCSD.

Key components of Sharp’s proposal include a long-term lease of the hospital, assumption of all Tri-City’s assets and liabilities, a capital commitment of at least $100 million to cover facility upgrades and

strategic investments, and plans to implement Epic’s Electronic Health Record (EHR) system.

Sharp also committed to maintaining 175 hospital beds in compliance with seismic safety standards.

According to Sharp, Tri-City Medical Center will be a “focal point” in its “development of a robust North County network, serving as an acute care hub from which care is provided to the community.”

Sharp leaders stated that the organization is well-suited for the partnership due to its successful track record with commu-

nity hospitals, citing Sharp Grossmont Hospital as an example — a facility that saw significant improvements after partnering with Sharp in 1991 and is now the largest healthcare provider in East County.

“(Grossmont) has experienced a boom since it became a partner with Sharp,” said Sharp CEO Chris Howard, noting the hospital’s net revenue ballooned from $140 million in 1991 to over $1 billion in 2024.

Sharp Grossmont also expanded by roughly 100 beds and is now home to a modern 50-bed neurological center, Howard added.

broad support from the public and the district’s adhoc committee.

Tri-City officials expect to finalize a Letter of Intent with Sharp by mid-June. Since Sharp is a private healthcare provider, the partnership will require voter approval from residents of the Tri-City Healthcare District, which includes Oceanside, Vista, Carlsbad and parts of San Marcos.

“We know how deeply this hospital is rooted in the heart of North County,” said Tri-City CEO Dr. Gene Ma. “This decision reflects thoughtful deliberation and a deep respect for the trust placed in us by our neighbors, families and staff.”

The decision received

“We have to go with a partner we can trust,” said Vista resident and former board member Marvin Mizell. “I would go with Sharp because we know that they will follow through with what they say.”

The agreement appears to mark the end of Tri-City’s ongoing search for a strategic partnership. Past negotiations between Tri-City and UCSD Health fell apart when, according to hospital leaders, UCSD changed key terms of its original proposal.

Ma previously told The Coast News that under UCSD’s revised terms, the university would have managed the hospital without assuming financial responsibility for five years — a structure deemed too costly for the district.

UCSD’s latest proposal included two stages. In the first phase, Tri-City and UCSD would jointly operate a new comprehensive cancer center on the Tri-City campus, with UCSD committing $80-$100 million for cancer-related work and medical service projects.

The second phase involved the potential transfer of all Tri-City assets and liabilities to UCSD Health, with the academic healthcare system assuming management of the hospital while the Tri-City board retained governance, along with the option to relinquish control fully at a later date.

The proposal also committed to running a minimum of 140 beds with necessary seismic retrofitting.

“No matter what you choose, it’s going to be good,” said UCSD Health CEO Patty Maysent.

Choosing the right senior living community is one of the most important decisions you’ll make.

Care and safety come first, but lifestyle and independence are important too. At Belmont Village, you’ll find it all. An experienced staff, 24/7 licensed nurses, award-winning enrichment and memory programs in a luxurious and attentive environment. And unlike most, we build, own, and operate all of our communities. So residents can count on the continuity of those high standards, never compromising on the things that matter.

Distortion of reality California faces new battlefronts

By Kathleen McDowell

The San Francisco Chronicle recently published an opinion piece, “This rich beachfront city is trying to launch an anti-housing insurgency in California.” This commentary makes claims that are not just misleading and hyperbolic, they’re patently false.

Consider the following:

The author claims “Encinitas has arguably earned the distinction of California’s most housing-averse city for its refusals to approve new developments...”

Encinitas has attained 32.7% of its housing goals (as compared to 19.7% at the county level, and 9.5% at the state level) for the current 6th Cycle RHNA goals, and has surpassed its original goal for total units. Additionally, Encinitas surpasses the county and the state in meeting its RHNA goals for very low, moderate and above moderate housing.

While additional opportunities exist to meet goals for low-income units, the data shows Encinitas is not new housing averse. Density Bonus Law incentivizes developers to build an additional 50% market-rate units by only providing 20% low or very-low income units. It is unsurprising that this “rich beachfront town” is exceeding its above moderate (read: market-rate) needs. The author also left out a crucial quote respective to Encinitas’ support of the Our Neighborhood Voices ballot initiative; Mayor Ehlers asked “How many more million-dollar condos do we need?”

Housing units that require incomes beyond California’s average household income will reduce affordability over time because those who can afford these units drive the median income higher, and thus shift the goal post for calculating very-low and low-income rates.

The author claims “Unsurprisingly, the city is now grappling with an exploding homeless population.”

Encinitas ranks third in its Point-In-Time Counts in the County of San Diego

for reducing homelessness by 12% from 2024 to 2025, just behind Carlsbad and the City of San Diego at 15%. This data was recently published in a KPBS article, and at the same City Council meeting she quotes opposition to supporting that community. The author

it is interesting to note that what was once a tax to discourage available housing from being left vacant has been watered down to a reporting requirement. If all we needed to do was provide inventory in addition to those intentionally kept off market, bought

omits the chorus of voices advocating for increased services, attempting to negate the hard work the community and its leaders have done to compassionately address this issue.

To say Encinitas is exploding with homelessness, and due to a lack of development approvals, is factually inaccurate.

Finally, the author claims “It was yet another example of how much time some California city leaders are willing to waste on farce instead of focusing on legitimate solutions.”

She infers there is only one solution: build.

In a city like Encinitas, where 95% of available land is already developed, we are focused on additional solutions.

Encinitans recently learned that several of the single-family and multi-family density-bonus projects have resorted to unauthorized and unpermitted short-term rentals to fill their vacancies rather than reduce their rates.

One single-family development approved under Density Bonus Law advertised overnight stays on their website until it was brought to the City Council’s attention. We are familiar with SB-789’s attempt at a vacancy tax, however

as second homes, converted to short-term rentals or allowed to stay vacant, the author may have had a valid point. Furthermore, none of these housing laws address the need or support for added infrastructure or services, which will only further impair a city’s ability to serve all present and future community members. It’s no wonder that the state is “full of Encinitases” supporting Our Neighborhood Voices. Encinitas was hardly the first, and is unlikely to be the last.

So-called “YIMBY’s” continue to perpetuate the false notion that anyone advocating for their community is against affordable housing. The San Francisco Chronicle need only to look to their own back yard to see that just isn’t true. When locals of the Mission District fought against a 330-unit project that “would never be 100% affordable” they weren’t anti-housing, they were anti-displacement. They advocated – and they won.

The author provides few resources as evidence to her claims. The piece published in the San Francisco Chronicle is far from opinion; it distorts reality.

Kathleen McDowell Encinitas

So he’s held up promised disaster aid that was never previously doled out in a partisan manner, holding it hostage to longtime Republican policy priorities like requiring government IDs before voters can cast ballots.

His national policies targeting immigrants also have more impact here than elsewhere because California is home to a far larger share of immigrants than its share of national population.

Now Trump’s campaign to reduce California’s stature by taking away some of its powers and influence has spread to Congress, narrowly controlled by his Republican Party. It’s a campaign occasionally joined by Democrats from Eastern and Midwestern states.

When that happens, it can look like a continuation of the “anywhere but California” sentiment that has sometimes influenced Congress to make epically stupid decisions.

One classic was placement for years of the National Earthquake Research Center in Buffalo, N.Y., in the 1970s. That supposed research center took a complete back seat to other seismic researchers at places like Caltech and Stanford, where earthquakes actually occur from time to time.

Unlike Buffalo, where no quake topping a meager 3.8 on the Richter Scale has been felt in more than 40 years, a full share of 4s and 5s routinely occurs around California.

But few things rankle Republicans in red states like California’s Clean Air Act waiver, which has given it authority since 1970 to make its own smog laws and regulations. This has resulted in advances from the catalytic converter to hybrid gas/electric cars like the Toyota Prius, many Honda Civics and a wide variety of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids that run about 30 to 40 miles on electric power before reverting to hybrid status.

No doubt, California’s rules have made cars cost more. That’s been generally accepted here under the notion that clean air costs something in a state whose biggest urban centers sit in coastal basins where prevailing winds often blow smog inland to areas where

it can essentially pile up and thicken against mountains or substantial hills.

So far, no California governor has been ousted over the cost of living in more than 50 years of imposing anti-smog rules that make vehicles and some other goods more expensive. Polls show most Californians accept it’s the price of less emphysema, asthma and other smog-related diseases.

The state’s powerful, appointive Air Resources Board now regulates not only vehicles, but industrial emissions and many commercial products, banning — for one example — most leaf blowers. Other state agencies here use similar priorities to promote things like solar and wind energy. Meanwhile, other states including large automotive markets like Pennsylvania and New York accept a lot of California’s reasoning. Fully 17 states and the District of Columbia automatically adopt California smog rules some years after they take effect here.

Because carmakers want to construct and sell products for use everywhere, they often build to California standards, making vehicles more expensive everywhere and not just here, where clean cars are more often equated with healthy air.

This offends many red state politicians, since the automatic adopters mostly include Democratic-leaning states. They appear most rankled by California’s plan to ban sales of new gasoline-only cars and trucks after 2035. “Every state would lose options — whether you live in California or not,” griped Wyoming’s Republican Sen. John Barrasso, whose state is a major oil pumper. So the latest tactic in the war on California has been an attempt to repeal California’s unique smog-fighting authority. Trump tried this in his first term, but was held up by lawsuits. It’s doubtful that will work this time. Chances are, the state’s powers will at least be dented. But it’s doubtful Trump and other Republicans will be satisfied with just this, if they manage it. Which means the war on California will likely persist as long as Republicans control either Congress or the White House. Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

THE

‘A sincere place’: Figueroa explains flag vote

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —

After reversing his decision to support flying the LGBTQ pride flag during Pride Month, Councilmember Jimmy Figueroa addressed public criticism and disappointment over his change of heart during a recent City Council meeting.

Earlier in May, the council voted 3-2 in favor of flying the pride flag beneath the city flag throughout June, a proposal introduced by Mayor Esther Sanchez and Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce. But at the May 21 meeting, Figueroa reversed his vote, effectively blocking the measure.

The decision drew criticism from local LGBTQ advocates, including Max Disposti, executive director of the Oceanside-based North County LGBTQ Resource Center.

“Councilmember Figueroa’s vote is not merely a policy shift; it is a betrayal of the very coalition that supported his rise to leadership,” Disposti said. “To cite political pressure or religious belief as justification for withdrawing support from a symbol of inclusion sends a dangerous message: that hate, when loud enough, will prevail. The reversal undermines the decades-long work of coalition-building in North County and ignores the most vulnerable in our community.”

Disposti called the decision “a profound setback” and “a painful blow to our local LGBTQ community.”

Figueroa, who did not

cite his own religious beliefs as a reason for changing his vote, said during the May 21 meeting that while he is a man of faith, he was disturbed by the way others used religion to justify hateful comments.

“When I first supported the resolution to raise the flag, it really came from a sincere place — to promote inclusion,” Figueroa told The Coast News.

Figueroa said he spent the two weeks between the initial vote and May 21 “pausing and really listening” to constituents who opposed flying certain flags on government property.

Ultimately, Figueroa changed his vote not due to political or religious pressure, but based on feedback from residents who expressed concern about maintaining neutrality at City Hall.

graduating from college and was starting a career as a professional surf instructor when he was paralyzed.

In 2023, a San Diego jury awarded him $46 million, but with post- judgment interest, that total judgment now exceeds $56 million, Greener’s attorneys say. The verdict was also affirmed by a state appellate panel late last year.

One of Greener’s attorneys, Rahul Ravipudi, said the final appellate court’s ruling “cements a critical legal victory not only for our client, but also for injured athletes across California by reaffirming that sports instructors and facilities may be held accountable when they unreasonably increase risks beyond those inherent in the sport.’’

“I don’t take lightly how this vote may have caused hurt to many in the community.”

Councilmember Jimmy Figueroa

Discussing public response to flag vote reversal

“I started to feel more strongly that government spaces in Oceanside should stay neutral,” he said. “I believe City Hall should be a place where everyone feels equally represented, regardless of their background or beliefs.”

Figueroa also addressed his May 21 com-

ment comparing the divisiveness of the flag debate to his past work with rival gang members. Figueroa said he was referring specifically to the tone and hostility of some public comments during the council meetings.

“Hearing some of the comments from a few of the

more extreme opponents of the flag was especially difficult – it was a shameful and disappointing experience to witness,” Figueroa said.

Some of those comments falsely accused LGBTQ individuals and their supporters of pedophilia.

“Messages and statements like those do not receive any weight or consideration from me,” Figueroa said. “I don’t condone that type of rhetoric or behavior.”

The first-term council member added that the experience at the council meetings was “different from the kind of heartbreak I’ve felt over the years working in neighborhoods impacted by gang violence — witnessing shootings, arrests, trials and devastating loss.”

Figueroa acknowl-

edged the emotional impact of his decision.

“I know that symbols matter deeply, and I don’t take lightly how this vote may have caused hurt to many members of the community,” Figueroa said. “This was not an easy decision.”

Figueroa said he remains committed to fostering inclusion in Oceanside.

“I remain committed to working toward an Oceanside where all people feel safe, heard and treated with dignity,” Figueroa said.

Figueroa represents District 3, and held previous roles, including executive director of Operation HOPE-North County, program manager at Vista Community Clinic, and leadership positions with the North County Gang Commission.

Pets of the Week

LEEDLE LEE is Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s pet of the week. She is a 5-year-old, 11-pound, female domestic short hair cat with a brown tabby coat

LEVI is the San Diego Humane Society’s pet of the week. He is a 3-yearold male dog with a black and white coat.

When Leedle Lee’s former owners moved, they surrendered her to a crowded shelter partner in Riverside County. When nobody adopted her, she was transferred to RCHS through Friends of County Animal Shelters.

Leedle Lee is a bit shy and not sure what happened to her old life. When she first arrived, she hid while adjusting to her new surroundings. Now she is ready to begin her new life with a patient family that will give her time to settle in at her own pace.

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 Department of Animal Services.

For information about adoption or being a virtual foster, stop by RCHS at 389 Requeza St., Encinitas, call 760-753-6413 or visit SDpets.org.

According to his caretakers, Levi is a high-energy pup who thrives on engaging with people either through playtime, training, or simply by soaking up affection. He will do best in an active home that can help channel his enthusiasm in positive ways.

He has lived with another dog and may enjoy having another well-mannered canine companion around.

Levi’s adoption fee is $113. He is at the El Cajon Campus. Fees include spay/ neuter services, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, an incentive for pet insurance and a license for residence in the city limits of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, Escondido, Oceanside, San Diego, San Marcos, Solana Beach and Vista.

An additional facility maintenance fee applies to all adoptions at the El Cajon Campus.

Encinitas advances new wildfire hazard maps

Scott Valley Park reopens featuring inclusive play hub

By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS

— For the first time since 2007, Encinitas is updating its wildfire hazard maps based on the new fire zone designations developed by Cal Fire.

The Encinitas City Council unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance on May 21 to adopt updated fire maps, categorizing land as having moderate, high, or very high fire hazard zones, based on the latest fire science and modeling.

The updated maps incorporate historical wildfire data, vegetation, flame length, ember transport, terrain and wind conditions.

“This is the bare minimum,” said Acting Fire Marshal Jordan Villa Gomez. “Just like most state requirements, this is the minimum that we could adopt. We can do more.”

Under the new maps, approximately 18% of the city, or 4,426 parcels, fall within the very high fire hazard zone. An additional 9% each are categorized as high (2,125 parcels) and moderate (2,087 parcels) hazard zones. These figures reflect an increase of 217 parcels designated as very high hazards compared to the 2009 map.

Per California Government Code 51179, local agencies are required to adopt the updated maps within 120 days of receiving them. Encinitas received the maps in March and posted them for public review on March 25. The public comment pe-

pen. I can tell you when they were first placed, there were a few vehicles damaged,” Washington said of the berms.

Contreras, O’Donnell and Councilmember Katie Melendez acknowledged that the rollout of the project could have been done better, and said they were open to reevaluating the project if safety issues continue to arise.

“I think we have some valid criticisms about the rollout of this new infra-

riod ended April 25.

Final adoption is scheduled for June 11, with the ordinance taking effect 30 days later.

Council members acknowledged residents’ concerns about the implications for insurance coverage, notably the addition of parcels that were previously excluded from high-risk zones. Several noted apparent inconsistencies in the maps, including the inclusion of golf courses and landfills in very high zones, while other densely vegetated areas were not.

“If I look at the old map, the golf course was there in 2009,” said Mayor Bruce Ehlers. “But if I look at the new one, the entirety of the golf course is included … it doesn’t make sense to me.”

Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes emphasized the importance of adopting the maps to uphold existing fire code protections, adding that the

structure,” Melendez said. “We have a lot of options… we don’t have to just go through and remove everything.”

The city has been seeking to add protected bike lanes throughout major corridors in the city, including along the portion of the Melrose corridor that continues into Oceanside.

On May 13, the city approved an agreement with Oceanside to add a protected bike lane along a 1,750-foot stretch of South Melrose near Cannon Road. The city of Oceanside will cover the $115,000 cost.

was so important, and why having a strong support for our fire station and our Public Health and Safety Commission [is critical].”

Gordon reiterated that the ordinance solely adopts the updated maps and does not alter existing fire codes. Future updates to the city’s fire code are expected later this year, at which point the council may consider more stringent local standards.

Santa Fe project

The Encinitas City Council on Wednesday voted unanimously to finalize the current phase of the Santa Fe Drive Corridor project and begin considering possible changes based on public input.

gle parking, with the travel lane away from the bicyclist.”

Suleiman noted the city conducted site visits, corridor observations, camera monitoring, and received more than 1,000 survey responses. While respondents favored the new bike lanes, sidewalks and mid-block crossing, they expressed dissatisfaction with reverse-angle parking and narrow travel lanes. Most survey respondents disagreed that reverse-angle parking was useful.

Cathy Santone, who owns a dental office on the corridor, raised accessibility concerns and said her practice lost five dedicated parking spaces.

“In 25 years, I can’t remember a single project in the City of Encinitas that had that same response.”

The council directed staff to continue evaluating potential design changes. Recommended options included adding pedestrian cut-throughs, striping bike lane conflict zones, reducing the height of speed bumps, and reconfiguring parking.

city could later evaluate specific zones for potential challenges.

“We can parse some things out later,” Lyndes said. “Today, I see the overarching thing that we can do is accept these maps as is.”

Fire Chief Josh Gordon noted that failing to adopt the maps could have serious consequences, including loss of FEMA reimbursement, legal liability, and diminished public trust. Gordon also acknowledged the community’s concerns about insurance impacts.

“Even without these maps, insurance companies are creating their own risk maps,” Gordon said.

Councilmember Jim O’Hara said the maps highlighted the city’s vulnerability and the need to strengthen public safety planning.

“This map is a frightening map of the reality,” O’Hara said. “It points to why what we did last week

The council approved four administrative actions, including a notice of completion for the work performed by contractor Tri-Group Construction, the release of bonds, and a resolution adopting interim improvements. The project, which concluded in April 2025, includes new separated bike lanes, sidewalks, reverse-angle parking, landscaping and drainage infrastructure, and a mid-block crossing near San Dieguito Academy.

City Engineer Badr Suleiman presented an overview of the work completed under the Western Phase, noting the project aimed to address safety and mobility deficiencies along the corridor, particularly for students accessing the nearby school.

“Previously there was no sidewalk, no bike lane amenities on that side of the road. Now there is a level walkway with a separated bike path going east,” Suleiman said. “The bike lane has shifted closest to the curb, protected by the reverse an-

“Our patients report how stressful it is to stop traffic and back into park on a narrow eastbound lane,” Santone said. “It is dangerous for them to navigate to our office as they must step over the high curb into a bike lane with an occasional cyclist just to get to their appointment.”

Other residents, including Judy Berlfein, urged the council to maintain the current layout and avoid unnecessary spending on changes.

“I urge you to review the before and after photos from the agenda report that we just saw,” Berlfein said. “Remember, this road was not great before this project. It’s not perfect now, but it’s a million times better.”

Mayor Bruce Ehlers emphasized that the city must prioritize safety, adding it is unsafe for emergency vehicles to navigate the corridor and difficult for others.

“The Post Office determined it’s unsafe to deliver mail,” Ehlers said, citing a design-related issue that halted service to 24 homes.

The redesigned playground features equipment and spaces meant to accommodate children of all abilities, including those with physical and sensory differences. City officials said the multi-abled design encourages movement, interaction and exploration to support children’s physical, social and cognitive development.

“This playground is more than a renovation –it’s a reflection of our values as a community,” said Dave Knopp, Encinitas’ director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts. “We are creating places where every child is seen, included, and supported.”

The project was funded through a combination of city funding, grants and private donations, including contributions from the family of Sophie Jones, who passed away at age 11 after experiencing an anoxic brain injury.

As a tribute, volunteers and loved ones installed a mosaic composed of custom-engraved coins at the park to honor those who supported the effort.

DMUSD looks to fill head role

By Leo Place

DEL MAR —

The Del Mar Union School District

will be selecting a candidate this month to fill the shoes of Superintendent Holly McClurg, as she prepares to retire after 13 years in the district’s top role.

McClurg announced her retirement plans in March. Last month, the district initiated outreach to staff and families regarding their priorities for the next superintendent, with the assistance of consultant Educational Support Services.

This community feedback has been used to form a leadership profile that the district Board of Trustees will reference when selecting the next superintendent. The application for the superintendent role closed May 30, with the board set to begin interviewing candidates in midJune and announce a chosen candidate toward the end of the month.

At the board’s May 28 meeting, ESS Consultant Suzette Lovely said she was impressed by the turnout of community members giving feedback on the superintendent process. She said DMUSD is a highly regarded district with a very engaged community and impressive programs, which is a draw for not only families but also superintendent candidates.

“There are really good, qualified candidates that are seeking this opportunity,” Lovely said.

Speaking through in-person meetings and online surveys, respondents identified the top five most important leadership qualities for the new superintendent. Creating an atmosphere of trust was listed at number one.

Other prioritized qualities are being knowledgeable about current teaching and learning practices, being a forward thinker and open to new ideas, showing empathy toward diverse groups of education partners, and developing a shared understanding of district goals and priorities.

The leadership profile report also shared district strengths identified by the community that they would like to see continue to grow, namely the robust and innovative programs offered, such as STEAM+,

for a six-story apartment complex in the Oceana neighborhood are moving forward following a 4-1 City Council vote to approve the project, months after the council sent developers back to the drawing board to conduct further analysis in response to concerns from the senior community.

Spanish immersion, and smaller class sizes.

Community members also identified the modern and inviting facilities, human-centered work culture, and strong parent and community support as strengths of DMUSD.

“It definitely is a destination district — people don’t just move here by accident. They move here by choice, and they’re very selective about moving here,” Lovely said.

Lovely also shared areas where community members identified opportunities for improvement under a new superintendent, including special education and community communication.

Over the past few years, several special education families have spoken out about concerns regarding a lack of resources for children and inadequate collaboration from leadership. The district has also been accused of unlawful treatment of special education students.

“People are hoping to see some opportunities to revisit some of the programs and things that are occurring,” Lovely said.

When it comes to community engagement, respondents noted that the “what” and the “why” behind the administration’s decisions are not always made clear, which can lead to frustration and a lack of trust.

Board members thanked ESS for their thorough community engagement process and for getting as much input as possible.

“That’s what we’re here for — making sure we’re selecting the best candidates that’s out there,” said Trustee Katherine Fitzpatrick.

Earlier in the meeting, the district honored the teachers and classified employees of the year, as well as those who are retiring, including McClurg. While her last board meeting will be on June 18, McClurg still shared words of thanks with everyone in the district.

“If we look back 16 years ago, so much of what’s in place now wasn’t here at all. So I am so grateful to work with people who take on doing what’s right and take on transforming education just like our kids need us to,” McClurg said.

The Venue at Vista Bella, proposed by Luxview Properties, will be built on a 1.74-acre site at 503 Vista Bella, replacing a vacant two-story commercial building with a mixed-use development. The project includes eight very low-income units, four employee-designated units, and ground-floor commercial space.

The development will require demolition of an existing commercial structure on the site.

The project utilizes the state’s density bonus law, which permits increased housing density and regulatory waivers in exchange for providing affordable housing. Luxview has requested 16 waivers and two concessions, including reduced setbacks, fewer parking spaces, and the elimination of courtyard requirements — changes that, together, would save the developer more than $1 million.

The project was originally approved by the Planning Commission in a 3-1 vote last October.

Oceana resident Ellen Marciel appealed the decision, prompting the City Council to delay a final vote in January to analyze four key issues: slope stability under a six-story structure, the actual cost savings from requested waivers, a

parking arrangement with Coastline Baptist Church, and other concerns raised by residents.

The city hired Keyser Marston Associates to conduct a further evaluation of the project. The analysis found that waiving the on-site renewable energy requirement and reducing parking would result in savings of approximately $847,000 and $556,040, respectively, totaling roughly $1.4 million.

According to the report, it would cost the developer about $3.1 million to build the eight very low-income units.

The revised geotechnical report addressed concerns about slope stability by evaluating the site for a six-story building. City staff also found that the city is not obligated to enforce a past parking agreement with neighboring Coastline Baptist Church and noted that the now-vacant commercial building left adequate parking for church use.

Babysitter pleads

guilty to sex crimes

By City News Service VISTA

— A North County babysitter who took part in the molestations of four girls she was tasked with caring for pleaded guilty last week to felony sex crime counts and is expected to be sentenced to 100 years to life in state prison later this year.

Brittney Mae Lyon was arrested in 2016 along with her boyfriend, Samuel Cabrera, in connection with the molestations, which took place between 2014 and 2016 on various occasions in the victims’ homes, in Lyon’s home and in Cabrera’s.

Prosecutors said the girls ranged in age from 3 to 7 years old.

Investigators found video recordings of the crimes on hard drives inside Cabrera’s car, according to testimony from his trial in 2019.

Cabrera was found guilty by a Vista jury of 35 counts and was sentenced in 2021 to eight life-without-parole terms, plus more than 300 years to life in state prison.

Lyon, 31, pleaded guilty on May 28 to four counts of lewd acts on a child and admitted to allegations that she committed the acts during the course of a kidnapping, a residential burglary, multiple victims or a combination thereof, according to Deputy District Attorney Jodi Breton.

Lyon is scheduled for sentencing in August.

The victims’ mothers testified that they hired Lyon to babysit their daughters after finding her on childcare websites. One of those mothers testified she hired Lyon to babysit her 3-year-old daughter on two occasions. After the second occasion, the girl informed her mother that Lyon had brought her boyfriend over to the house, and that the defendants had changed her underwear, she testified.

A subsequent doctor’s examination did not reveal anything untoward, but the mother said she later read a news article detailing the couple’s arrests and contacted police.

ciel had asked the city to require the developer to fund fire evacuation plans, flashing crosswalk beacons at Vista Bella and Vista Campana, and a $200,000 trust fund to mitigate airflow and heat concerns for neighbors.

When the project returned to the council on May 21, she reduced her request to just one item: the crosswalk beacons.

“We no longer believe you will deny this project – I’m not even asking for that,” Marciel said. “Please require this one small measure of protection for the residents of Oceana.”

The developer agreed to contribute up to $60,000 toward the crosswalk beacons. Any additional costs will be covered by the city. City staff stated that the total cost may increase due to the need to upgrade nearby ADA-accessible ramps.

Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce cast the lone dissenting vote.

“I understand the reason behind density bonus, but when it gets down to

the brass tax, it gets really frustrating to not be able to work on the development that is in the best interest of our community, and sometimes this feels like these are extractions of wealth in our community,” Joyce said.

The California Department of Housing and Community Development submitted a letter in support of the development, reminding the city of its legal obligations under state housing laws.

“HCD reminds the City of its obligations under the SDBL, the Five Hearing Rule, and the PSA and urges the City Council to uphold the Planning Commission’s approval of the Project to help meet the current housing crisis,” wrote Assistant Deputy Director David Zisser. “HCD may review local government actions and inactions to determine consistency with these laws and may notify the California Office of the Attorney General if a local government is in violation of state law.”

failures revealed

By Paul Gonzalez

Welcome to the year 2025, where people on Main Street don’t look up from their phones unless they trip off a curb or run into a light post.

Unfortunately, the world we live in has become dominated by digital information; that can be a good thing if you know how to turn your website into the bright, flashing neon sign of yesteryear that attracts new customers.

Here are five critical things your website needs to ensure visibility and growth for years to come.

Who are you? Believe it or not, many local businesses fail to clearly define who they are to new visitors landing on their website for the first time. Make sure it clearly states who you are front and center so there is no confusion.

What do you do? This may seem rudimentary, but it remains a common failure that we encounter weekly. Make sure, along with a clear name, you state what you do, the goods or services offered and the locations you serve.

Why are you good at it? With mere seconds to convince a new visitor that you are the best company they can do business with, you must give them reasons to believe in you. Be creative to build instant VISUAL trust.

How do I contact you? Don’t be that overly creative site that makes people dig for contact information. Don’t look like you’re hiding something. The easier it is to make contact, the more you will be trusted.

How do I do business with you? People don’t like to be told what to do, but you will have more success by doing that. Prompt customers with clear steps to engage with you. If you’re not doing this, you’re losing more than 80% of your potential new business within seconds.

This may seem like common sense, and you’re right! However, please take a look at the competitors in your market, and you’re likely to see that most of them are missing three or more of these basic elements. Then, examine your site, identify what you’re missing or can improve, and start making adjustments that will benefit you now and in the long run.

A charming visit to Heathrow Airport

Like so many, my bride and I collect magnets as souvenirs of the exciting places we’ve visited. New York, Vegas, Rome…all are represented on our refrigerator.

Our recent Italian journey included a layover at London’s Heathrow Airport. We never got into the city itself.

Wandering from one airport kiosk to another, we noticed numerous refrigerator magnets with double-decker buses, Buckingham Palace and the like.

The problem: We’d never left the airport. To us, buying a memento of Lon-

Fask mr. marketing rob weinberg

don wouldn’t have made any sense.

This suggests magnet makers are missing a trick. Because if they’d had a magnet announcing, “We Visited Heathrow Airport!” we’d have bought it. If we’d visited Spokane, we could have gotten a magnet promoting their airport. Harrumph!

Awesome!

With roughly 30 million layover trips at 4,072 commercial airports worldwide, over 3 billion passengers face the exact same scenario we just dealt with.

Talk about a lost opportunity!

Think about it: A tourist is traveling from Tokyo to Atlanta with a 2-hour layover at Lindbergh Field. Even if he has access to an airline’s lounge, he’ll invariably wander into stores en route to his gate in Terminal 2.

Buying a magnet showing the Gaslamp District makes absolutely no sense for him. Ah, but a magnet showing the airport, per-

haps layered over images of the beachfront, Gaslamp, Old Town and downtown … that might make sense, plus provide a constant reminder to return to San Diego and see what he missed the first time.

Currently, tourists can choose from a selection of magnets, priced between $5 and $10 each. If just 1 million of his fellow passengers doing a layover at Lindbergh bought one of these airport-only magnets, up to $10 million in additional revenue would come to Hudson News and others.

You, too, may be overlooking a potential brand extension. Regardless of

irst off, my name is Jere, pronounced “Jerry.” Maybe I’m just a four-letter word, but can I at least be the correct four letters?

As a newly divorced, middle-aged woman, I’m back on the dating scene, and it’s not easy.

I went out with a cop. He said, “I’d like to hold you — without bail.”

Then I met Roy and agreed to go out with him. He said he’d take me anywhere I wanted to eat, as long as they accepted food stamps. On our date, we had dinner at Vons. He asked what I wanted to eat. I said a peanut butter sandwich. He said the peanut butter would use up too many of his food stamps, so I settled for prepackaged cheese and crackers. We used the drinking fountain because he said the water was too expensive. Goodbye, Roy.

My sisters set me up with a guy named Todd. They said, “He’s a lot of fun to be with.” RED FLAG! I asked them, “If he’s so much fun to be with, why aren’t you with him? Why are you trying to pawn him off on me?” They both laughed.

After the date, they asked how it went. I said we didn’t do anything. They questioned me, barely able to hold back the laughter. “Did you even kiss him?” I said, “Heck no — he stinks.”

If he can’t take a bath, I know he can’t brush his teeth, and I’m not kissing him. He also kept his wallet on a chain around his neck. I went out with a used car salesman. He was okay. After two dates, I felt comfortable around him and said I’m thinking of getting a boob job.

He laughed and said, “A boob job? On a woman your age? That would be like fixing the headlights on a car that’s been totaled.”

They will never find his body.

Twenty-nine-year-old Oliver Widger arrived on May 24 in Waikiki, Hawaii, with his cat in tow, the Associated Press reported. But he didn’t fly there. Widger and Phoenix sailed from the Oregon coast in a boat he bought without knowing how to sail.

Widger was diagnosed four years ago with a syndrome that carries the risk of paralysis, so he quit his managerial job with $10,000 of debt and used his retirement savings to buy and refit the boat.

“You know, you’re grinding at your job all day long and ... everybody’s just trying to do enough to get by and that just wears you out,” Widger said. “I think people have seen that it’s possible to break out.”

Upon reaching Hawaii after several weeks at sea, he didn’t have a clear plan for what’s next but said he might sail to French Polynesia. [AP, 5/24/2025]

Three men came to blows on May 16 at CSL Plasma in Wilkes-Barre Township, Pennsylvania, after one of them, ahem, let one rip while standing in line, the Times Leader reported. Chazz Pearson, 39, was standing behind an elderly man who dropped a bomb, then apologized.

But — and this really stinks — Pearson allegedly struck the man in the head, and when the man’s son stepped in, hit him, too. Pearson faces charges of simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct.

Mount Athos is a self-governed monastic territory in Greece, where 20 or so monasteries coexist peacefully — one would think.

However, on May 22, the Associated Press reported, one young monk was hospitalized after allegedly being attacked by brothers of the Esphigmenou Monastery, whose members have defied court and church orders to leave the premises. The dispute began in the 1970s and has involved violent clashes, legal battles and supply blockades.

According to police, the rebel monks used garden tools to injure the victim. However, the accused brotherhood denied the claims. “It is a well-known tactic for these perpetrators to play the victims,” they said. “They feigned injury in a performance worthy of an acting class.” [AP, 5/23/2025]

An East Shoreham, New York, homeowner who started the happy task of uncovering the backyard pool for the summer season on May 25 was shocked to find a man’s body in the water, NBC New York reported.

The Suffolk County medical examiner has yet to identify the body or discover how he died, but officials said it may be Matthew Zoll, 23, who has been on the run since stabbing his father to death in November in Rocky Point, New York.

Neighbor Paul Gawreluk said he wondered “why somebody would try to get under the (pool) cover. It’s not a smart thing to do.” [NBC New York, 5/27/2025]

If you’re one of those impatient flyers who’s up out of the seat as soon

To overcome this, speak with individuals who fit your customer profile, even if they’re not currently purchasing from you. Ask for thoughts about what they’d like to buy that they can’t currently find. If you listen carefully, you may just uncover an idea that’s not so flighty.

• Residents of Fort Myers Shores, Florida, who own pets are taking extra precautions about letting them out at night, Gulf Coast News Now reported on May 27. That’s because cane toads are spreading through the community, especially near parks, canals and gardens.

The invasive toad secretes a toxin from glands on its back that “can kill very quickly,” said Jordan Donini, a biology professor

“They can lay anywhere from 8,000 to 32,000 eggs in a single clutch,” he said, noting that female toads “are a priority for removal.” Donini said the toads have to be removed humanely and encouraged contacting local wildlife control services for help. [Gulf Coast News Now, 5/27/2025]

• Researchers from the University of Florida have just published a study identifying a new hybrid breed of termite, Gizmodo reported. “I was hoping never to find it,” said the lead author of the study, Thomas Chouvenc.

The insects are the result of breeding between the Formosan subterranean termite and the Asian subterranean termite, both of which are voracious chewers of wood. In October 2024, the scientists found a colony of the hybrid termites in a park in Fort Lauderdale that they think may have been there for five years. “This may be a Florida story now, but it likely won’t stay just in Florida,” Chouvenc said.

Hypnotherapy is world’s top mental health modality

Let’s face it, just talking about the problem seldom solves it quickly and at the root. That’s where hypnotherapy shines. It goes deeper, works faster, and creates the change we seek, and where it actually counts: in the subconscious.

Put quite simply, a talk therapist works with the conscious mind: the part of you that analyzes, explains, and rationalizes. A skilled hypnotherapist works with you beneath the surface, where patterns are formed and long-held beliefs live. That’s why the results are quicker and long-lasting, keeping you out of months or years of talk therapy.

The research shows us:

• Quicker results: A study in American Health Magazine found hypnotherapy to have a 93% success rate in just 6 sessions, compared to 72% in 22 sessions of talk therapy (yikes).

• Anxiety and stress melt faster: Research shows hypnotherapy consistently lowers anxiety levels by resetting your nervous system’s baseline, and getting to the root of your issues (what a relief, right?).

• Hypnosis is the #1 most effective proven treatment for smoking/vaping.

• Confidence and selfworth always increase when we work at the subconscious level, rather than feeling like you need to depend on your

talk therapist.

• Sleep improves: hypnosis has been shown to help even chronic insomnia in kids, teens, and adults alike.

• Emotional eating is easier to shift when the root cause is addressed directly.

• PTSD and trauma respond especially well, with compassionate techniques that allow clients to process the past and even rewrite memories.

What’s incredible is hypnotherapy can be applied to just about any issue on the physical, mental, or emotional levels. It can even remove those money blocks in economic downturns (wink).

Talk therapy opens the door but hypnotherapy walks you through it into luscious green pastures, and helps you rewire the patterns holding you back. It’s the fastest-growing mental health field in the world for a reason. Humanity is seeing that deep change doesn’t have to take years. Hypnotherapy is a breakthrough, and it’s here for you when you’re ready.

Why gums must be healthy, strong

The gums around your teeth need to be healthy, strong and vibrant. This means they need to be pink, never red and bleeding.

Simply stated your gums are a barrier system meant to protect your teeth, bone and even your body from the bacteria and microbes that can damage them. In this way your gums are protecting your body and your overall health from foreign invaders.

What happens though when this barrier has been damaged or has become 'leaky' due to inflammation? To illustrate how important barrier systems are to health, what happens when your intestinal lining becomes inflamed? You could get Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Crohn’s Disease and your digestion would be affected.

What happens when your skin gets inflamed? You get a rash. Your gums are no different than any other barrier system, except that 50% of the population lives with inflamed gums because inflamed gums usually don't hurt.

The key to gum inflammation and gum disease, like any other disease of the body is to catch it early and reverse it. This is the key. If you catch it early the results and outcomes are so much better.

Gum Recession is when the gums along the necks of your teeth pull away or erode exposing the roots of your teeth. This can be unsightly as the roots of your teeth are often darker than the crowns. The roots that are exposed can also be sensitive to cold, hot and sweets

as the roots are more permeable and are closer to the nerve of the tooth.

Fully half of the adult population in our practice, Integrative Dentistry, has gum recession. How is it that gums pull back from the teeth? Usually it's due

to inflammation, decay, aggressive tooth brushing, or from stressors like grinding, clenching or braces.

If you have recession you will need to see a dentist to find out the best approach for your situation. Prevention is always the

best approach. Keep a regular hygiene schedule at home and at your dentist’s office to give yourself the best possible care and the healthiest of smiles. For more information call Integrative Dentistry at 760-632-1304.

Encinitas seeks input for age-friendly plan

By Staff

ENCINITAS — The City of Encinitas is developing a comprehensive Age-Friendly Action Plan aimed at enhancing livability, accessibility, and well-being for residents of all ages and abilities.

With generous funding from the San Diego Foundation, the City is partnering with San Diego State University Center for Excel-

lence in Aging & Longevity (CEAL) and AARP as part of the Age Friendly Encinitas initiative.

This collaborative effort is designed to support a more inclusive and age-friendly community.

A key component of this initiative is a community baseline survey that invites residents to share their lived experiences, challenges, and ideas for improving quality

of life in Encinitas.

Led by the City’s Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Arts Department, the Age-Friendly Encinitas Initiative seeks input across several key areas including outdoor spaces, mobility, community engagement, and health and wellness.

The survey will be available through Aug. 15, both online and in paper format at various locations throughout Encinitas. Following the survey, a series of community listening and learning sessions will be held in the fall to gather additional input.

The Age-Friendly initiative was brought forward by the Senior Citizens Com-

mission, led by Chair Lambert Ling.

“Our mission has always been to enhance the quality of life for the adult 50+ community, so receiving acceptance into the Age-Friendly network ... means a lot to this commission.

“As the City of Encinitas takes its first steps towards becoming a truly Age Friendly City, we are proud to be participants in this process.”

Sharp offers specialized technology to treat strokes

A stroke can be a life-changing event. In the United States, someone has a stroke every 40 seconds. About 40% of these events are ischemic strokes, which are caused by a blockage in blood supply to the brain and may not have an obvious cause.

Study links climate events, brain

function

By City News Service

SAN DIEGO — Traumatic experiences caused by climate, such as experiencing a wildfire, can have lingering impacts on how our brains work, according to a UC San Diego study published in April.

The researchers focused on survivors of the 2018 Camp Fire that raged in Butte County and remains the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California’s recorded history. According to the study, those survivors still have difficulty making decisions prioritizing long-term benefits.

“Our previous research has shown that survivors of California’s 2018 Camp Fire experience prolonged symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression alongside hyper-distractibility,” said Jyoti Mishra, the study’s senior author and an associate professor at UCSD’s School of Medicine and co-director of the University of California Climate Resilience Initiative.

“This new study suggests that climate trauma may also impact important cognitive abilities of decision-making and underlying brain function,” Mishra added.

The research was published in the April 16 Scientific Reports, part of the Nature portfolio of journals.

As wildfires become more frequent across the West thanks to the warming and drying of the climate, they are impacting the physical and mental health of thousands. This year, the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires in Los Angeles County and the smaller back-country Border 2 Fire in San Diego County brought the picture close to home once again.

Researchers found that wildfire survivors were “significantly less likely to stick with choices that offered long-term rewards,” a behavior they tracked with a choice metric known as “Win-Stay.”

All participants completed a decision-making task with monetary rewards while undergoing electroencephalogram brain recordings. Researchers evaluated their Win-Stay behavior, measuring how often they continued selecting the option with the highest longterm rewards.

Many people who have these types of strokes may have a hole in their heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). This hole is present in all people at birth and closes shortly after birth, in most people. But in about 30% of people, it does not fully close.

Later in life, blood clots can form and leave the heart through this hole, reaching the brain and causing strokes or ministrokes known as transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).

Until recently, the technology available to find these holes has been limited to ultrasound. While useful for examining the heart’s structures, ultrasound is

less effective at finding PFOs and determining the risk they present.

In October 2022, Sharp Memorial became the first hospital in Southern California to offer a new technology called robotic transcranial Doppler (TCD) to accurately detect PFOs. With the latest advancements in robotic TCD technology, PFOs are three times more likely to be found and the risk of stroke is better determined.

Only a small device, which is placed through a vein in the leg, is needed. This can significantly reduce the risk of future strokes and TIAs, so detection is key. Sharp Memorial has been working with the new TCD technology longer than any other hospital in Southern California and is still the only hospital offering robotic TCD services in San Diego County. If you or a loved one has had a stroke or TIA with an unexplained cause, speak with your doctor about robotic TCD.

What’s new at the 2025 San Diego County Fair?

By Leo Place

DEL MAR — Anticipation is building throughout the region for the return of the San Diego County Fair, with less than two weeks to go until the Del Mar Fairgrounds are filled with rides, carnival games, delicious treats, live entertainment and numerous activities.

This year’s 20-day run takes place from June 11 to July 6. The fair is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays, and is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Visitors will be able to enjoy several activities related to this year’s theme, Summer Pet-tacular, which celebrates the unique bond between humans and pets.

Fair organizers have partnered with the San Diego Humane Society to implement programming at the fair that focuses on shelter animals. Every day at the fair, SDHS will be exhibiting dogs, cats, and rabbits of various ages that are available for adoption. Visitors will be able to put a hold on animals and follow up with a visit to the shelter.

San Diego Humane spokesperson Nina Thompson said this is an opportunity to educate residents about the critical work they do for over 40,000 animals, and about how they can help.

about us, because there are so many animals in the shelter that are looking for second chances,” Thompson said. “There are people who think that the only way to get a pet is through a breeder. That education piece is important.”

This year’s 20,000-square-foot theme exhibit will be a celebration of all pets, said Fair-

grounds Chief Operating Officer Katie Mueller, offering a glimpse into the perspectives of various animals. There will also be various pet rescue groups and canine organizations providing presentations and educational opportunities throughout the fair.

“You’ll be able to interact with a lot of different kinds of pets,” Mueller said.

Despite the pet-focused theme, Fairgrounds leaders are reminding visitors that pets are still not allowed at the fair. The only exception is on July 5, when pets and owners are invited to a Pooch Fun Run in the morning on the grounds before the fair opens.

Online registration is required for the Pooch Fun Run, which will feature var-

ious contests, photo opportunities, and a scenic walk of either half a mile or one mile for pets and their owners.

In addition to traditional favorites like the pig races, lemonade, and the Ferris wheel, this year's fair features several new additions, including new rides and the San Diego Marketplace, which will offer a selection of handmade and consignment goods.

Here are the need-toknow details about this year's fair.

Tickets for the fair are available online at sdfair. com, including single-day tickets and season passes, which start at $65. General admission starts at $16 on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and $20 on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays when purchased in advance.

Ticket prices increase when purchased on the day of the event.

Ticket prices also vary for youth and seniors, and entry is always free for ages five and under.

The Fun Zone will feature dozens of rides, including two Ferris wheels, a carousel, roller coasters, and carnival games with big prizes to win.

Ride and game credits can be purchased online with entry tickets or purchased on the day of the event at Fun Zone kiosks.

On Wednesdays and Thursdays, visitors can enjoy unlimited rides for $50 with

the Pepsi Pay-One-Price wristband, also available online.

MiraCosta lab trains next generation of brewers

I Like Beer

On April 30, the MiraCosta College BrewTech Program graduated its 10th cohort of brewers with a happy hour celebration.

The hybrid course, which includes lab time in an on-site brewery, focuses on “grain-to-glass hands-on experience.” The course is perfect for the home brewer looking to hone their craft or the person looking to enter the brewing industry.

The MCC BrewTech lab has recently invested in all new equipment, according to executive director Thomas Tubon. “This program is an amazing asset for our Technology Career Institute,” Tubon said. “And we have plans to expand.”

The program is the only one in California recognized by the Master Brewers Association of the Americas. It provides the training and expertise for an industry with a 6% projected job growth.

The course requires 5-8 hours of homework each

week with in-person labs one weekday per week and two Saturdays. To a graduate, the in-person lab time was the key to learning the craft and making the connections for future opportunities.

Graduate Mitch Freeman is a home brewer who took the course “to see what’s out there and become a better brewer.” According to Freeman, the best part of the program is “getting in here and doing it.”

Brian Casey, a member

of the first cohort, returned to congratulate the new graduates. Casey recalled the key to the course is “learning the whole process front to back, the science behind it” and added: “It’s a lot of fun. I’m a hands-on learner, so this was perfect for me.”

Program supervisor, and beertender for the evening, Carisa Chavez said the key to the program’s continued success is: “We adapt our program to fit the needs of the workforce. As things

lowed us a way to give back to the beer industry and train the next generation of brewing professionals,” Stevenson said.

“The brewing industry is a tight-knit community,” Johur said. “We are not competitors, we’re friends lifting each other up. You can see it in our cohorts too. We support each other to succeed.”

“This is what I wish I had when I first entered the industry,” Stevenson said. “Seeing the spark in the students just starting their careers is motivating and rewarding.”

Graduate Trevor Checchi illustrates that enthusiasm with his evident pride in the beers he made: “It’s not just talking about beer. We apply the knowledge we study here in the lab,” Checchi said.

fessionals is all part of the program’s success. Of course, it would be a sad state of affairs if graduating brewers didn’t have something to share with the friends, family and industry professionals there to celebrate with them.

There were eight beers on tap, all brewed by the new cohort. All were excellent, clean drinking and true to their respective styles. The XPA, a hop-forward but light ale, was canned for the occasion. Learning the canning process is also part of course.

change, we are flexible and adapt. And we collaborate with the brewing community. We thrive together and support one another.”

The course is taught by three industry leaders who have proven track records: Mike Stevenson, Culver Beer Co.; Johnny Johur, Artifex Brewing; and Garrett Perkins, Booze Brothers Brewing Co. Johur and Perkins are graduates of the program, cohorts 3 and 9, respectively.

“This program has al-

The number of returning students, especially those with their own brewery success to show for the effort, was impressive as well. Diane Hilz, The Roadies Brewing, was there and clearly impressed with the new crop of brewers. Joshua Vina, Breakwater and Barley & Sword Brewing, was all smiles as he met up with Hilz and Kylie from Pure Project. The chance for the new graduates to rub elbows — or more accurately, share a pint. — with industry pro-

Beyond the graduates, the stars of the show were the Belgian blonde ale and the German lager. Both of these beers require craftsmanship and skill due to the subtleties of the style. There’s no short cuts or hiding imperfections. Both of these beers were evidence of the readiness of the graduates to make their mark in the industry.

Inglourious Bagels: Another solid bagel option

lick the plate

hen I wrote

W“Joy of Bagels” in 2022, a roundup of our bagel options in North County, Inglourious Bagels had just opened and was not yet on my radar. They popped up recently when I was looking for another bagel option to stop at on my way to work in Oceanside from Encinitas.

First off, the name caught my eye as it is inspired by the real Jewish heroes of Operation Greenup, who served as inspiration for one of my favorite Quentin Tarantino movies, “Inglourious Basterds.”

For those who haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. It’s a stylized take loosely based on a true story set during World War II. It’s the first year of Germany’s occupation of France and Allied officer Lt. Aldo Raine, played by Brad Pitt, assembles a team of Jewish soldiers to commit violent acts of retribution against the Nazis.

The film features a long list of recognizable stars,

including Christoph Waltz, Eli Roth, Michael Fassbender, B.J. Novak, Mike Myers, and more. So, I’m like, OK, these bagel makers at the very least have good taste in movies, and they tout their bagels as “New York style,” so they must have something good going on.

Another aspect of New York style is their obsession with the water used to make their bagels. They wanted to capture the texture and flavor of the bagels that you expect in Brooklyn

and Manhattan, which are said to help differentiate the world-class bagels found there. With the expense of shipping New York water across the country prohibitive, they hired a chemist to do their best to re-create it in Carlsbad.

As somewhat of a bagel snob, I’d say they did a pretty good job, as their bagels are solid. They opened in 2022 as a joint venture between Brian Gruber, owner of La Costa’s award-winning Notorious Burgers, and friends

Phil Gunther and Andrew Brewer.

My true test of a bagel joint is the lox and bagel sandwich, and my tradition is to start with a bagel that won’t overpower the delightful ingredients stacked inside. For me, that’s a poppyseed. There is no overwhelming flavor contrast and the poppy seeds add a nice texture. I’ve always constructed mine with plain cream cheese, lox, capers, onions, tomato and thinly sliced cucumber, not

toasted and cut in half.

Cutting the bagel in half is key, as I then open it up and distribute the ingredients to each quarter, which provides the perfect bite and avoids the topping sliding all over, as can happen with a bagel sandwich. I’ll have to say Inglourious Bagels did it right with their lox sandwiches, and they have six varieties, including one with smoked whitefish salad that sounds amazing.

And speaking of bagel sandwiches, they have

a long list of breakfast and lunch sandos that all look amazing. Some even include a potato latke, and for you Jersey folks, one has their famous Taylor Pork Roll. I am fully prepared to sample their breakfast and lunch sandwich menu.

The lunch sandwiches look equally splendid, with a Pastrami, Cuban, Club, BLT, and Tuna Salad making up the list. There’s just something special about stacked meat, eggs, and such between your favorite savory bagel.

Inglourious Bagels offers a bit of flair, which at times leans toward a doughnut experience, featuring chocolate, cinnamon, blueberry, and everything jalapeno cheddar. The shop also offers eight schmears to top your favorite bagel.

A wide range of coffee, tea, and smoothie selections is available, and their catering options are extensive. Keep that in mind for your next business breakfast or lunch function.

I’d have to put Inglourious Bagels among the best in North County and a solid option. They are so versatile and offer many flavor combinations, it’s a sure bet that you will find something for the whole family there. Find them at 6955 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, CA 92009 or www.inglouriousbagels.com.

hit the road

Arizona.

The open seating up behind the cab of the Chevy truck makes for a great view, but the wind-chill factor is fierce. It’s worth it, though, because the valley’s other-worldly topography is mesmerizing and I wouldn’t want to miss a thing.

In the driver’s seat is Navajo guide Garry Holiday, and our passage into an area called Mystery Valley (named for the 700-year-old petroglyphs here) would not be possible without him.

Visitors to the valley can navigate its 17-mile scenic drive on their own, but other areas in the park are off-limits without a Navajo guide.

Here on the back roads (at times nothing but exposed rock), Holiday gets us up close and personal to the history, culture and artifacts of the Navajo people.

He weaves stories and

legends of those who have inhabited this area for 700 years and talks about the remarkable forces that created this terrain.

Earlier, we made the slow and bumpy 17-mile drive that takes visitors to the iconic, 1,000-foot-high sandstone towers, buttes and formations we all know from Hollywood and Madison Avenue – the Mittens, Elephant Butte, Three Sisters and John Ford’s Point. They are spectacular, absolutely, but there is something special about the isolation and intimacy of the 3½-hour guided tour with Holiday and the closer-to-the-ground sandstone formations, cliff dwellings and petroglyphs that he shows us.

“I think what strikes people is that we are one of the last places in the U.S. that has an ancient culture that feels intact,” Holiday says. “It’s been here for thousands of years. We have a lot of our traditional ways. They speak to how we can live our lives in balance with the people of the earth and within our surroundings. Our mission is to teach as much as we can.”

Holiday, founder and owner of Navajo Spirit Tours, was born and raised here and explains how he and tribe members identify their ancestors.

His wife, Michelle, a non-Navajo from Washington state, met Holiday in Montana and they married at age 18. Both artists, they

raised 10 children here and, “Now I’ve spent more of my life here than in Washington,” she says.

“I love living here…the Navajo humor…the beauty all around me. Living without water and electricity was part of my young life as was learning the ways. It was an adventure and when you are with the person you love most, that’s all that counts. I wouldn’t trade my life for a million dollars.”

There are many stops on this drive. We get out and walk the ground where geological events created strange formations, see pottery shards of long-ago inhabitants and try to decipher their petroglyphs.

Throughout this 92,000-acre park, a sense

of peace prevails.

“We feel that this beautiful land was given to us by the Creator,” Holiday tells us at the Pancakes formation, one of the highest points in Mystery Valley and his favorite place. “It feels like you can reach into the sky connecting heaven and earth,”

You can’t visit Monument Valley without feeling affected, Holiday adds.

“People… tell us that it is one of the most wonderful experiences of their life. It is a healing experience. It energizes their lives.”

The Holidays have taken on another project: the restoration of the 104-yearold Oljato Trading Post in northern Monument Valley.

In 2021, the post was

named one of the most endangered historic sites in America by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Once an important hub for commerce and community, “the post was the first business in Monument Valley,” Michelle says. “We are really excited about the opportunity that has been entrusted to us. There are a lot of repairs to be made, but little by little, we are finding a lot of them are cosmetic. Our idea is to bring back history and connect it with present day.”

Herbst twins win state titles

By Noah Perkins CARLSBAD — Carls-

bad High School senior track and field athletes and twin sisters Morgan and Makenna Herbst may look alike, but on the track, they run very differently.

“Even though they’re twins and people often have a hard time telling them apart, I never do — I can recognize them from the back, the front, their stride patterns, everything,” said Matt Large, head coach of the Lancers track and field team.

“They both have exceptional talent, but Morgan’s more of a technical sprinter and thrives in the 100 and 200, while Makenna shines once she gets going in the 400 and 800.

“Morgan hates running anything over 400 meters, and Makenna embraces those longer sprints. That’s why I encouraged Morgan to take up hurdles after her freshman year — to give her a unique identity and a set of races that were completely hers.”

At the CIF San Diego Section Championships on May 24 at Mt. Carmel High School, the Herbst twins made history with record-breaking performances.

Minutes after Makenna shattered her own 800-meter section record with a nation-leading time of 2:03.30, Morgan made California history in the 300-meter hurdles.

She crossed the fin-

ish line in 39.95 seconds, breaking a long-standing state record of 40.10 set in 2001 by Ebony Collins of Long Beach Wilson. Morgan’s time ranks third on the all-time national list, trailing only Olympic gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin (38.90) and Jasmine Robinson (39.81).

The twins capped their historic day by anchoring Carlsbad’s 4×400 relay team to victory with a time of 3:48.52.

“I’ve literally been dreaming about this – in my sleep and every time I dozed off during the day it’s what I am thinking about,” said Morgan Herbst following the race. “It’s no surprise that it happened today. It’s been my goal. I am really grateful that I have someone to share it with –especially my twin sister. We are carrying a legacy for the two of us moving on from high school.”

According to Large, Morgan could have run even faster in her record-breaking sprint.

“She kind of clipped the seventh hurdle a little bit, so there’s still time to be found,” he said. “So, she’s still got some improvements ahead of her.”

The Herbst sisters built on their success at the section championships by winning state titles on May 31 at Veterans Stadium in Clovis, with Makenna winTURN TO TWINS ON 25

Getting ahead of injury curve

Diamond Champ tackles increase in youth arm injuries

By Noah Perkins

When Ben Cortez’s son was playing youth baseball in North County, he became alarmed by the statistics he saw regarding the growing number of arm injuries among younger players.

“My son played at La Costa Canyon, a great program, but I kept seeing data from 2008 and ’09 showing kids getting Tommy John surgery way too early,” Cortez said.

Tommy John surgeries, a procedure that replaces a damaged ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in the elbow with a tendon from elsewhere in the body, have increased by nearly threefold in professional baseball over the last decade, rising from 104 cases in 2010 to 314 in 2020, according to a 2024 MLB study.

At the same time, pitchers are throwing faster than ever, with average four-seam fastball velocity climbing from 91.3 mph to 94.2 mph since 2008.

The proliferation of arm injuries has trickled down to the youth level.

A study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine back in 2014 reported that 67.4% of UCL reconstruction surgeries were performed on athletes aged 16-20.

Concerned by the overemphasis on power pitching, Cortez, a 31-year sports performance coach, opened Diamond Champ in San Marcos to help athletes build power safely and combat the ongoing injury crisis.

Diamond Champ is a sports performance facility specializing in baseball training and instruction since 2022.

The program emphasizes strength, mobility, and injury prevention, combining personalized coaching with data-driven techniques to help athletes optimize their performance while maintaining optimal health.

Cortez leads a team of coaches — including former MLB player Raul Gonzalez, CSUSM pitching coach Jesse English, Sean Lucas, Padres pitching staff member Eric Junge, and nutritionist Emma Araya — working with over 120 players across youth, high school, and collegiate levels.

The coaches bring extensive experience, including hitting coach Gonzalez, a three-time Triple A All-Star who spent several years playing with the Cubs, Mets, Reds and Guardians.

The facility serves about 40 younger players, 20 high school athletes, and 50 to 60 college players, numbers that have steadily grown as families seek safer training options.

“This time of year,

college players are finishing their seasons or are in playoffs,” Cortez explained.

“We focus on recovery before ramping up strength and preparing high school and younger athletes for the next season.”

Diamond Champ, located off Furniture Row between Ethan Allen and Biggs Harley-Davidson, prioritizes biomechanical efficiency.

“We assess posture and movement before throwing,” Cortez said. “Many players come for pitching, but we work with all positions to build movement patterns that reduce arm stress.”

Cortez emphasized that injuries often don’t start in the arm — they can originate from imbalances else-

where in the body, such as a limp or a toe injury, which travel up the kinetic chain.

“We treat overhead work as prehab, not rehab,” he said. “Throwing is an overhead movement, so we prepare the body the right way before injuries occur.”

A key part of the Diamond Champ philosophy is teaching pitching without throwing, using light oneor two-pound medicine balls to develop mechanics and arm strength while allowing the arm to rest.

“We focus on training the body to move as one unit,” Cortez said. “This helps build power safely without overloading the arm.”

The vulnerable 10-14 age range is especially important. During this time, growth spurts and hormonal changes increase the risk of injury, according to Cortez.

“Those years can be fragile,” he said. “Little League elbow and other overuse injuries often develop here.”

For parents and coaches, Cortez recommended monitoring pitch counts, encouraging proper rest, and emphasizing overall athletic development to keep young players safe.

“If we can save just one arm, that’s why we do this,” he said.

Kraft returns to her beach volleyball haunts

sports talk

If one squints their eyes just right, they can see Los Angeles in 2028 from Del Mar in 2025.

“That’s the goal,’’ Megan Kraft said. “And it would be amazing.”

Kraft is working her way north by playing in the AVP beach volleyball event at San Diego State this weekend. The competition features four teams playing each other in two-player formats on both the men’s and women’s sides.

Appropriately, Kraft, a Del Mar resident, toils for the Los Angeles Launch, and perhaps this format will serve as a springboard to the L.A. Olympics in ‘28.

That had Kraft and her partner, Terese Cannon, in the Czech Republic recently as they continue to earn their stripes on the international circuit to ready themselves for what’s to come.

“The qualifying really starts two years before the Olympics, but this is how you get qualified,’’ Kraft said.

Kraft’s resume on the sand is pristine, which isn’t surprising for those who have been tracking her since she was a standout at Torrey Pines High School.

She was basically All-Everything during her four prep seasons, and she led the Falcons to 2019 national and state titles.

However, that version of volleyball was played on the hardwood, not the soft sand.

“Beach volleyball was basically just a club sport back then,’’ Kraft, 22, said.

But the sands of time produced a dramatic change in beach volleyball’s popularity. It has blossomed into a certified sport in high school, college, and at the last Olympics in Paris, drawing among the top TV ratings of any sport.

“It’s super fun and it’s more of a speed game,’’ Kraft said. “And with games going to just 15 points (instead of 21) in this league, there’s no time to work into a game. You have to start off hot,

ning the girls’ 800-meter run in 2:02.28 and Morgan claiming the 300-meter hurdles crown in 39.64 seconds.

Next year, the Herbst twins will compete for the University of Arkansas track and field team under Razorbacks head coach

and that definitely changes your mindset. It’s more fast-paced and intense.’’

Kraft’s focus at USC, after being the nation’s top prep beach volleyball recruit, was laser-like. How else to explain her leading the Trojans to four national titles as a perennial All-Pac-12 selection, which included being named the conference’s top player.

“Being at USC, it was really fun to be able to play with a really, really good team and to have a good coaching staff with a great culture,’’ Kraft said. “I was happy to be a part of something.”

To shine on the sand, one must excel in everything. With just one other person to rely on, all facets of a player’s game are on display.

“I really like the aspect of beach volleyball in that you have to be good at every skill,’’ Kraft said. “It’s just you and your partner out there. With indoor, there are a few more players and you have a coach with you the whole time.

“So the beach game was just exciting to me in that it challenged you in

Chris Johnson and his brother, Boogie Johnson, who is renowned for developing elite athletes such as Dalilah Muhammad, Britton Wilson and Anna Cockrell.

“Before the season, we talked with Morgan and Makenna about their ultimate goals and what they could realistically achieve,” said Large. “Morgan had

new ways and you have to solve problems in your mind quickly. I’ve been playing since I was 8 years old, but I still like to learn to keep being challenged. That is what drove me to beach volleyball — the physical and mental challenges.”

The 6-foot Kraft was a blocker in college but refers to herself as a defender on the AVP beach circuit. It’s been a long road for Kraft, who played and later coached at the decorated Wave Volleyball Club in Del Mar.

Wonder what advice an accomplished Kraft would give the younger version of herself when she was deciphering a game that was foreign to so many.

“Oh man, I would just tell myself to keep working hard and training hard,’’ she said. “And to remember the great relationships you get to make in the sport. While you remember certain games, it’s really about enjoying the moment.’’

Contact Jay Paris at jparis8@aol.com and follow him @jparis_sports

already established herself as the person to beat after going undefeated last year, and breaking the 40-second barrier in the 300 hurdles was the first big goal she set for herself.

“After that, she aimed for national and historical greatness, while Makenna continued to chase the two-minute mark in the 800.”

Commonly known as: 739 NOB CIR, VISTA, CA 92084 The sale will be held at: AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE EAST COUNTY REGIONAL CENTER BY STATUE, 250 E. MAIN STREET, EL CAJON, CA 92020 Per the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the estimated opening bid will be $405,757.70. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his pro rata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, the winning bidders with the exception of the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling ten percent (10%) of the Secretary’s estimated bid amount in the form of a certi ed check or cashier’s check made payable to the undersigned Foreclosure Commissioner.

Ten percent of the estimated bid amount for this sale is $40,575.77. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $40,575.77 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable.

The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits,

must be delivered in the form of a certi ed or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15 day increments for a fee of: $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certi ed or cashiers check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the Foreclosure Commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, o er the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price o ered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certi ed or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage Deed of Trust is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is based on the nature of the breach, this loan is not subject to reinstatement.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying o all liens senior to the lien being auctioned o , before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the

Tickets are also available for live entertainment during the Toyota Summer Concert Series and Summer Nights at The Sound.

There will be 20 musical and comedy performances on the Grandstand stage, featuring nationally recognized acts such as 2 Chainz and Lil Jon, Jeff Dunham, Third Eye Blind and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, in addition to the Fourth of July Fireworks show.

Summer Nights at The Sound features unique acts, including laser shows, hypnosis improv, comedy, and an event hosted by star dog trainer Cesar Millan. Performances by “Saturday Night Live” cast member Marcello Hernández on July 2 and 3 have been canceled.

General parking at the Fairgrounds main lot starts at $16 per vehicle. Visitors can also park at the Del Mar Horsepark for $10 or Crest Canyon Academy at no cost, with a free shuttle providing transportation from both locations to the Fairgrounds.

Attendees can also avoid parking altogether by utilizing the Fair Tripper on the NCTD Coaster, Sprinter, or the MTS Trolley.

This includes a roundtrip ride to the Solana Beach station in addition to a oneday fair entry for as low as $20 for adults.

A free shuttle will run between the Solana Beach station and the Fairgrounds every 30 minutes. Visitors can also utilize the Fair Tripper option to take the Breeze Bus Route 308 to Via de la Valle and Valley Avenue, and then walk approximately half a mile to the main fair entrance.

Trenton was brought in by the organization’s Humane Law Enforcement team as part of a mass intake with 30 dogs, two chickens and one cat from an overwhelmed owner. He needed treatment for a terrible skin infection, plus dental surgery to remove 18 severely decayed teeth.

After receiving life-changing medical care and behavior support to help him gain confidence with new people, he was ready for a new loving home.

Trenton is just one of 40,000 animals who got a second chance at San Diego Humane Society in the past year, and stories like his are why the nonprofit’s annual day of giving, this year on June 26, is so important.

Give Humane: San Diego Humane Society’s Day of Giving is a fundraising movement that unites our entire community to make an impact for animals in need.

After facing record numbers of animals in care last summer, the organization is gearing up for a similarly busy season this year.

Reimagining online learning

As education evolves, so do the expectations of families seeking flexible, high-quality learning options for their children. This fall, The Classical Academies is proud to launch a new full-time, tuition-free virtual program for middle school students in grades 6-8, in partnership with Sora, a national leader in innovative online education.

It reimagines what online learning can be by blending live, small-group instruction with hands-on, project-based learning. Students are supported by credentialed teachers, advisors, and a highly personalized curriculum that emphasizes creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking.

Unlike traditional virtual schools, the Sora Program offers a connected and future-ready experience. Each student’s journey is built around their interests and goals, offering opportunities to explore real-world problems, collaborate with peers, and work on longterm, meaningful projects. From science labs to creative writing, from mastering math to engaging in student-led discussions, the learning is active, engaging, and relevant.
