UCSD under fire after raid

Protesters demand chancellor’s resignation

By Laura Place

SAN DIEGO — Outraged students and faculty at UC San Diego are demanding accountability and the resignation of the school’s chancellor after police arrested 64 protesters at a pro-Palestine solidarity encampment on May 6 at the university’s campus.

Officers from UCSD Police, California Highway Patrol and the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department declared the encampment an unlawful assembly at about 5:45 a.m. on Monday and began dismantling the site along the school’s library walk five days after the demonstration first began.

A university spokesman confirmed Tuesday that 64 individuals were arrested that morning at the encampment and charged with unlawful assembly.

Forty of these individuals were students, all of whom received an interim suspension, and the other 24 were reported to be unaffiliated with the campus, or their affiliation status was unknown, per the university.

However, a UCSD professor confirmed to the student newspaper, The Triton, on Tuesday that they and one other professor had been among those arrested.

UCSD community members now demand accountability from Chancellor Pradeep Khosla, who released a statement Sunday calling the protest an “illegal encampment’’ and saying that the tents on Library Walk pose “an unacceptable safety and security hazard on campus.’’

“The violation of law and campus policy represented by this encampment, however, is not a peaceful protest. It has become dangerous,’’ Khosla said, adding that the tents were possibly a fire hazard.

The university’s Ethnic Studies Department released a statement Monday calling for Khosla’s resignation, stating that the encamp -

State legislators request funding to assist repairs

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— A bipartisan group of state legislators representing San Diego County has requested emergency state funding to help restore fire-damaged portions of the Oceanside Pier, which reopened today after a portion of the structure erupted in flames last week.

A combination of seven state senators and assembly members signed a letter dated April 30 addressed to the governor that described the cultural significance of Oceanside Pier for the city and North County as a whole and why his support is necessary.

The letter – signed by state Sen. Catherine Blakespear (D-Encini-

tas), Assemblymember Laurie Davies (R-Laguna Niguel), state Sen. Steve Padilla (D-Chula Vista), state Sen. Brian Jones (R-Santee), Assemblymember David Alvarez (D-San Diego), Assemblymember Tasha Boerner (D-Encinitas) and Assemblymember Brian Maienschein (D-San Diego) – states how “devastated” they

are to see the “landmark of our coastal identity and maritime heritage in Southern California” damaged by fire.

The blaze that sparked around the northwestern portion of the former Ruby’s Diner building on the afternoon of April 25 continued to burn for about four days, eventually reducing the building and

the adjacent Brine Box walk-up seafood restaurant to near rubble.

The fire also damaged the pier’s western hammerhead-shaped end, but Oceanside Fire Department officials said firefighting efforts saved 90% to 95% of the overall 1,950-foot-long pier.

Escondido fixing Cardiff sewage leak

Wastewater pipe spilling fluid near San Elijo Lagoon

By Samantha Nelson ENCINITAS — The Es-

condido City Council ratified a local emergency declaration on April 30, expediting repairs to a leak in a cityowned sewage pipeline after seepage was reported coming from the ground near the San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center in Cardiff.

On April 16, staff from the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority and the county’s Parks and Recreation Department notified Escondido utility staff that partially treated wastewater was surfacing near the city's land outfall system at the lagoon's northern end.

The city of Escondido owns a 14-mile land outfall pipeline that takes partially treated wastewater from its Hale Avenue Resource Recovery Facility to the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority’s ocean outfall, located west of Interstate 5 and south of Manchester Avenue in Cardiff, for the final phase of treatment before releasing the water into the ocean.

Wastewater is treated through three stages: the primary stage, which removes 60% of solids; the secondary stage, which removes 85% of organic matter from sewage through bacterial decomposition; and finally, the tertiary stage, which removes any filterable solids from wastewater before it is discharged.

According to the city,

staff responded immediately to assess the situation and confirmed the land outfall was leaking through laboratory test results that matched the seeping water wastewater from Escondido.

The seeping wastewater is currently confined near the nature center’s Manchester entrance. According to staff, the wastewater has not leaked and is not anticipated to leak into the lagoon.

Interim Director of Utilities Angela Morrow said approximately 13 million gallons of wastewater travel through the land outfall daily. She noted the source of the leak was likely a failure in a joint on the pipeline.

Staff was concerned that if repairs weren’t made quickly, a “catastrophic failure” could occur.

Escondido City Manager Sean McGlynn proclaimed a local emergency on April 25, which allowed the city to enter into a bid with a contractor who could fix the leak as quickly as possible. Five days later, the City Council approved the decision.

CCL Contracting, Inc. was hired to repair the land outfall. The city will spend up to $1.7 million in wastewater reserve funds to pay for the repairs.

“The proposed construction method will minimize impacts on the residents of the city of Encinitas, the San Elijo Nature Center, and the public,” a staff report states.

The HARRF system in Escondido will remain fully operational throughout construction.

Candidate drops from D2 race

Kevin Sabellico, 26, launches SDUHSD board campaign

By Laura Place CARLSBAD

— In roughly 48 hours, Kevin Sabellico announced his resignation from the city's Planning Commission, dropped out of a competitive three-way District 2 council race, and is now preparing to launch a campaign for the Area 4 seat on the San Dieguito Union High School District board.

According to the 26-year-old's announcement on social media this week, Sabellico issued a letter of resignation from his post on the Planning Commission on Monday.

The letter stated that he had been nominated to the San Diego County Environmental Health and Quality Advisory Board by Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer and would be resigning from his firstterm commission seat to prevent any conflicts of interest.

The next day, Sabellico announced that he was no longer running for the City Council Area 2 seat and was pivoting his focus to the San Dieguito school board, which oversees 10 high schools and four middle schools in Encinitas, Del Mar, La Costa and Rancho Santa Fe.

This leaves two candidates in the District 2 race for the Carlsbad City Council: small business owner and retired fire cap-

politicians these days are all about themselves, and that’s not the kind of candidate I want to be. The fact is we have a better chance of winning the City Council race with one candidate instead of two, and I want to be part of the solution, not the problem.”

Sabellico said he recently moved to Carmel Valley and is now eyeing the Area 4 seat currently held by Trustee Michael Allman, who represents the southeast portion of the district, including Torrey Pines and Rancho Santa Fe.

Sabellico, once a campaign manager for state Sen. Catherine Blakespear (D-Encinitas), noted that he is a former district student who graduated from Canyon Crest Academy.

The former commissioner listed a slew of criticisms against Allman, describing him as a “Trump Republican” and rebuking him for his treatment of teachers and staff, past comments about transgender students, and for costing the district tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees.

“We must restore integrity and civility to the School Board and put the focus back on our kids — not politics,” Sabellico said. “With the support of parents and teachers across the district, we will fire Mike Allman.”

Allman declined to confirm whether he would be running for re-election in November but provided the following statement in response to Sabellico’s comments:

the classrooms. I've been a staunch advocate for equal rights for all, public transparency, academic excellence, and financial responsibility while keeping politics out of the boardroom.

“I don't know Mr. Sabellico personally, but I note that he is 26 years old, has spent his brief career working only in partisan politics, and until yester-

day was running for Carlsbad City Council before he abruptly dropped out and declared his candidacy for our school board. He will now have to move into our school district to qualify for the ballot,” Allman said. Trustee Katrina Young’s Area 2 seat will also be up for election in November, with Young announcing in March that she is not seeking re-election. Sabellico had secured over $26,000 in total contributions for his council campaign as of the end of 2023.

Cry for redemption

This is as much a cry for justice as it is for redemption.

Over eight months ago my reputation was forever sullied by accusations of embezzlement and wiping clean the business hard-drive.

There have been further stories of falsehoods perpetuated by Deanna Smith, chairperson of the Escondido Chamber of Commerce board, and legal counsel advising the chamber.

None of these accusations and lies were true despite a thorough review of chamber accounting by Smith and others. All chamber finances were in order and approved by the executive committee as is required by the bylaws.

Our budget had been scrutinized by the ExCom and further reviewed by the full board and approved by that board. These are the facts.

If allowed, and not interfered with, the chamber would have met its obligations and performed to the approved budget per plan. We simply could not without the full support of the entire board.

The chamber was well on its way to a new and sustainable future until Smith began a smear campaign against me and other members of the board.

But in the end, I was the target of her wrath. The harm caused by these lies and my subsequent release

as CEO of the chamber has directly targeted my reputation, a reputation as a leader with a vision and a pathway to fulfill that vision; an honest and well-respected professional with over 30-plus years of varied business experience that led me to take on the challenge of taking the chamber in a new direction.

And it was personal. Smith told me directly in a one-to-one meeting that I had become “too much of a distraction.”

The chamber has still not paid me for monies legally owed under California labor law and I will undoubtedly win a judgment, but it will have to go through the process which is heavily backlogged with claims and understaffed.

The lasting effects of all this is that my reputation has been forever damaged as a story built on sensationalism and lies stacks high on our digital dust bio for all to see forever.

This is not right. The articles featuring my rebuttal to these falsehoods and accusations rank nowhere near as high as the fabricated story does on a simple Google name search.

I left the Escondido Chamber holding my head high knowing we were on the right track. We had survived many challenges including the pandemic and were building on the momentum of positive change until we were derailed by someone

who made it personal.

The Escondido Chamber of Commerce (no longer the Greater Escondido Chamber of Commerce) will survive for a while longer and is reverting back to its former ways.

Nothing will have changed except another opportunity missed by Escondido; an opportunity to be something much bigger and better; an opportunity to hold your head high, Escondido; something long needed and deserved in the city.

You missed a chance to be something better, to lead and not always follow, to be something rather than almost being something. The many business owners and managers who make up the business community of Escondido deserved better.

I have taken this break in my professional career to evaluate myself and look for the positives in this whole calamity. And my biggest takeaway, as I look back, confirms I was right. Trust your experience, skills, knowledge and gut. Armed with renewed vigor and enthusiasm, I am ready to let my flame burn even brighter than before.

There will always be people who see you as a “distraction,” just don’t let them distract you from doing what you know is right.

James JR Rowten is the former CEO of the Greater Escondido Chamber of Commerce.

Gas tax is rising ... again

By Jim Desmond

As you know, we’re facing a critical situation with soaring gas prices, escalating energy and utility costs, outof-control housing expenses, and relentless inflation driving up the prices of goods and services.

Many of our fellow Californians, including seniors on fixed incomes and hardworking families, are finding it increasingly difficult to afford even the most basic necessities. With these challenges, it is inconceivable that the State of California is once again moving forward with a gas tax increase. Ef-

fective July 1, the Gas Tax is slated to rise by an additional 2 cents, bringing the total tax burden to a staggering 59.6 cents per gallon.

This comes at a time when California already has the highest gas prices in the nation, further exacerbating the financial strain on our residents.

According to recent data from AAA, the average cost of gas in California has soared to nearly $5.40 per gallon, a sharp contrast to the national average of $3.66. Such disparity is not only unjustifiable but also unsustainable.

TSB9 isn’t working, and its future murky california focus tom elias

he combination of the 2021 laws best known as SB9 and SB10 was supposed to bring scads of new affordable housing to the California market, ending single family zoning forever and solving the state’s housing shortage.

But they did not, mostly because the extra housing allowed under SB9 never became popular and developers never followed up by taking out many of the extra building permits easily available under SB10.

For one thing, rather than growing, the pace of homebuilding in California actually slowed after those bills and others designed to grease the skids for new apartments and condominiums failed to arouse much response.

Now SB9 may be doomed, its future very much in doubt after a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled in favor of five cities that disputed the state’s right to end their authority over most local land use.

So far, Judge Curtis Kin’s ruling in the case of City of Redondo Beach et al. v. California Attorney General Rob Bonta applies only to Redondo Beach and four other cities that joined the lawsuit. But Kin’s reasoning appears solid and if his ruling is upheld by California’s liberal-leaning appeals courts, it will eventually apply in every major city.

Bonta has indicated he will fight the decision, saying he “will consider all options in defense of SB9.”

SB9 authorized building as many as six homes on lots previously zoned for only one. Two duplexes could be built on lots to be subdivided almost everywhere in California, with a smaller additional dwelling unit (or “granny flat”) possible for each duplex, for a total substitution of six units for one.

Lee, arguing for the five cities behind the lawsuit (Redondo Beach, Torrance, Carson, Whittier and Del Mar), claimed SB9, “neither reasonably related to its stated concern of ensuring access to affordable housing nor (was it) narrowly tailored to avoid interference with local government.”

The judge (a former deputy U.S. attorney and an adjunct professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles) agreed, saying “there is virtually no evidence that (under SB9) substantially lower costs trickle down to the lower two-thirds of households (by income).”

So, he said, the bill was unconstitutional. Initially, his decision applies only to the plaintiff cities in the lawsuit. If upheld on appeal, it will apply to all charter cities, including every major population center from Los Angeles to Palo Alto and from San Francisco to Santa Barbara. Other charter cities include Visalia, San Diego, Victorville, Palm Springs, San Jose, San Bernardino, Berkeley, Big Bear Lake and more than 100 others. What’s left are smaller “general law” locales.

We must take immediate action to address this issue. While I personally believe we need a complete suspension of the gas tax, at the very least, we must prevent this impending increase. Our state legislators possess the authority to halt this measure, and they must hear directly from us, their constituents. I urge each of you to contact your Assemblymember and State Senator and express your concerns about the gas tax hike.

Jim Desmond represents District 5 on the Board of Supervisors.

But such a state law could only apply in the state’s charter cities if it aimed to solve a statewide problem. Otherwise, charter cities’ rights to govern land use in their own jurisdictions must remain untouched, says the state Constitution. SB9 was aimed, it said, at creating affordable housing everywhere, solving a statewide problem.

So far, individual subdivisions allowed under SB9 have achieved little popularity, with well under 2,000 such units built since the bill became law. What’s more, SB9 did not compel this new housing to meet the legal definition of affordability, where pricing is limited to a specific percentage of average market values in their area and caps on future resale prices. Los Angeles lawyer

The bill’s author, former state Senate President Toni Atkins, a Democrat now running for governor, immediately promised a replacement measure to fix SB9. But that won’t make duplexes with or without granny flats any more popular than they’ve been, as very few homeowners have applied to get their current houses demolished and replaced by new units. Meanwhile, the ruling also did not stop the name-calling that has long accompanied SB9 and SB10. Atkins, for one, called opponents “NIMBYs (Not in My Backyard).” She said, “The goal of SB9 has always been to increase equity and accessibility in our neighborhoods while growing our housing supply.”

She did not acknowledge that her bill so far has failed on both counts. But SB 9 is not dead yet, even as opponents are currently rejoicing. Its fate remains very uncertain because California appellate courts have been reluctant to interfere with any of the new housing laws passed by Democratic legislators since 2000.

New VFW leadership aims for holistic services

By Laura Place

SOLANA

BEACH

— A new generation of leaders in the Solana Beach Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5431 is aiming to provide more holistic healing options for local veterans, with big plans on the horizon to upgrade and improve the facility along Highway 101.

For years, the two-story Post 5431 building serving North County coastal veterans from Del Mar to Carlsbad has served as a space mainly for monthly VFW meetings. Guy McDermott, the next commander of Post 5431 and founder of veterans’ mental health nonprofit Next Peak, saw the potential for the space to be better utilized.

Over the past three years, Next Peak has partnered with local organizations and individuals to bring in new programs at the VFW, making it a place where veterans can participate in physical therapy, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and suicide prevention programs.

McDermott, a retired SEAL operator and first responder, said this approach is working to make the facility feel like a “second home” and draw in more members. In that time, the post has gained around 20 new active members.

“If we sit at the seat of pure acceptance and pure love for everyone that enters through that door — it doesn’t matter what your

ect Restore Hope aims to expand outside of Solana Beach, and provide similar services at other VFWs.

story is — and I just love you, I don’t even have to say it. They’re going to feel it. They’re going to be open,” said McDermott, an Encinitas resident.

Now, members can drop in to receive physical therapy from a soft tissue specialist upstairs, participate in meditation, meet with a therapist, or share a conversation over soda water.

Soft tissue therapist Brandon Taylor is able to perform physical therapy twice a week at the VFW through the Peaceful Warriors Foundation, which funds sessions for veterans.

He said physical therapy is just one of the many ways veterans may become connected to services at the VFW, while others may resonate with psychotherapy, yoga, or simply a sense of camaraderie.

“It’s about access points,” Taylor said.

While expanding services at Post 5431, Next Peak is also planning to raise $1.5 million to transform the building into an integrative, holistic healing

center, an effort called Project Restore Hope. The planned restoration would add more spaces for physical and mental therapies, increase the available indoor space for meetings, and create a coffee shop element to be run by a local veteran business owner. Other upgrades would include workstations for veterans, increased handicap accessibility, utility improvements, and an updated commercial kitchen. In order to make this happen, Next Peak will be holding fundraising events in the community. Proj-

“I want the community to wrap around this,” McDermott said. “I want the Solana Beach VFW to become the model for the whole United States.”

Climbing the peak

McDermott said the journey that would eventually lead to Next Peak — which focuses on filling the gap in mental health services for veterans and their families — started years ago when he was working as a firefighter and paramedic after retiring from the Navy.

One day, he received a critical call about a 14-yearold boy who had been hit by

a drunk driver, and upon stepping off the rig at the scene, he felt himself freeze. McDermott said the incident, preceded by years of trauma, led to a great deal of shame manifesting in panic attacks, a back injury caused by tension, and even thoughts of ending his life..

“I can separate myself from what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan, but I couldn’t separate myself from that boy,” McDermott said. “I had to go to the very bottom.”

The light at the end of the tunnel came after years of focused inner work and powerful shifts in perspective, a process he called “slowly climbing the peak.”

“As I was climbing this

E. coli traced to walnuts

By City News Service

REGION — A multistate food safety alert was issued May 1 for an E. coli outbreak possibly linked to organic walnut halves and pieces sold in bulk bins at natural food stores and food co-ops in Southern California and elsewhere.

The Gibson Farms walnut pieces were distributed at stores in cities including Encinitas, Carlsbad, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The walnuts have expiration dates between May 21, 2025, and June 7, 2025.

So far, six people have reported possible E. coli illness in California, the CDC said. Gibson Farms, based in Hollister, has initiated a product recall, the public health agency said.

The CDC said almost all the sick people reported purchasing the organic walnuts from bulk bins in food co-ops or natural food stores.

Man pleads not guilty in alleged fatal DUI crash

From staff and wire reports

ESCONDIDO — A man who allegedly drove drunk and crashed into another vehicle in Escondido, killing a 13-year-old boy who was riding in his car, pleaded not guilty last week to charges that include gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.

Alexander Tito Oroz, 20, is accused in Saturday night’s crash that killed Rodrigo Tapia Jr., known to family and friends as Junior

Tapia.

Oroz, who remains jailed without bail, faces up to 12 years and eight months in state prison if convicted of all counts.

Police said the alleged DUI crash happened at around 10 p.m. at the intersection of North Broadway and Country Club Lane.

While officials did not disclose the relationship between Oroz and Tapia Jr., family members told local news outlets that Oroz was

the boyfriend of the teen’s sister. Tapia Jr.’s sister was also riding in Oroz’s car and sustained injuries in the crash, according to family members.

A GoFundMe page created to raise funds for Tapia Jr.’s funeral expenses said he attended Quantum Academy in Escondido and described him as “a beloved son, grandson, brother, nephew, and friend and loved by so many.”

“We are devastated by the tragic death of Rodrigo, a beloved member of our Quantum Academy community,” a statement from the school reads. “Everybody knew Rodrigo. He was a great friend and always stepped up as a leader. He was a really good athlete, and he loved sports, especially baseball. Our district’s crisis intervention team was on campus today providing support, and counselors were available to meet with students, staff members, and parents individually and in groups. Our classroom teachers also made time to discuss this loss during their morning circles with students. Quantum is a close-knit school, and we are all grieving right now.”

Tapia Jr. also played baseball for an Escondido National Little League team and dreamed of playing for the San Diego Padres, the online fundraiser said.

— Beginning next school year, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Oceanside will no longer provide before- and after-school programs on Oceanside Unified School District campuses.

According to OUSD Communications Director Donald Bendz, the school district requested proposals from vendors this year due to the growth of its Before and After School Enrichment Program. Sixteen groups, including some nationally known organizations, submitted proposals to serve as the program’s vendors.

The Boys and Girls Club of Oceanside, which currently operates programs at Laurel Elementary, Libby Elementary, Jefferson and King Middle Schools, did not make the cut for next year.

Bendz said the district reviews its business contracts with vendors and periodically requires them to resubmit bid proposals “to ensure that the public’s money is being spent wisely.”

“After a clear and fair process, OUSD identified the best providers to support the health, safety, and education of our students at the most reasonable cost,” Bendz said via email.

For the last 17 years, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Oceanside has provided on-campus programming throughout the district, including during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to CEO Jodi Diamond.

“During those years, we offered wraparound services that included academics, enrichment, mentoring, character and leadership development, sports and fitness, and, of course, a safe, supervised environment,” Diamond said via email. “We have also had a long-standing focus on the whole child and have provided the social and emotional support they need to succeed in school and life.”

Instead, the district

chose BASE to run all its elementary before- and after-school programs, while STAAR and ARC will handle the middle schools.

BASE, founded by Denise and Corie Base, two former Cal State San Marcos human development students, is currently a partner of Oceanside Unified. The organization offers before- and after-school programs at several elementary school sites, including Foussat, Ivey Ranch, McAuliffe, Nichols, Pablo Tac, Palmquist and South Oceanside Elementary Schools, plus Stuart Mesa, a K-8 base school on Camp Pendleton.

According to its website, the program offers services through three main components: academics, athletics and creative enrichment.

STAAR, a local organization that bases its model on emphasizing academics and role models, also currently works with students through its program at Lincoln Middle School. ARC, a larger Southern California-based organization, currently provides services at Chavez Middle School.

While the Boys and Girls Clubs of Oceanside is disappointed that the organization won’t be on OUSD campuses next year, Diamond said the change presents an opportunity to boost services at the Townsite clubhouse, which has offered a free after-school program for the last 72 years. The Townsite clubhouse also offers a STEM lab, a performing arts center and a culinary arts teaching kitchen.

“We have a unique culinary work readiness program and recently purchased a food truck so that teens can apply for paid internships,” Diamond said.

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Oceanside will host a barbecue on June 1 at its Townsite clubhouse at 401 Country Club Lane to celebrate the new work readiness program.

“For over 72 years, we have profoundly impacted youth and our community, and we look forward to continuing this critical work,” Diamond said. “As you know, youth need the academic and social-emotional support we provide more than ever.”

A MEMORIAL for Junior Tapia, 13, rests near the

compensation.

Del Mar council seeks pay bump

By Laura Place

DEL MAR — Del Mar

voters may be asked to approve a salary increase for City Council members in November after the council took the first step toward putting a potential measure on the ballot.

Since 1988, Del Mar council members have been paid a monthly $300 stipend, with the mayor granted an additional $50 per month for automobile expenses. This is the lowest stipend of all 18 cities in San Diego County — the median is $1,750 per month — and Del Mar is also the smallest, with under 4,000 residents.

Del Mar is also the only city in the county that does not provide its electeds with health benefits.

On Monday, the City Council directed staff to create a draft ballot measure increasing that monthly amount to $950, in addition to a $400 health care stipend. The $950 figure would align with the new maximum allowed for council members in California cities with less than 35,000 people under a new state law.

“I think we really need to think of this as something that’s going to improve our city in the long run,” said Councilmember Terry Gaasterland. “This is an equity thing for me.”

Staff will bring back a resolution regarding the measure to be approved by the council and then send it to the county for approval. This must be completed by Aug. 9 in order to make it onto the ballot.

While all council members favored letting voters make a decision, some expressed personal reservations about the proposed increase in pay.

Councilmember Dwight Worden said he didn’t like the idea of individuals deciding to run for council because of the pay incentive, even if it is a small incentive.

“I like the current ethic, where it’s pure — and maybe I’m old-fashioned — volunteer spirit,” he said.

Mayor Dave Druker said he was uncomfortable with the idea of health benefits for council mem-

CUSD weighs school upgrades

Some Measure HH projects may stall due to high costs

By Samantha Nelson CARLSBAD —

As Carlsbad Unified School District continues to work on upgrades across multiple campuses, some projects will likely be put on hold due to escalating construction costs.

District staff presented information to the school board during a special workshop on May 1 on the status of various campus renovation and construction projects funded through Measure HH, a $265 million bond measure approved by voters in 2018 to modernize classrooms, science labs and other instructional technology.

Nearly all of the first phase projects are complete, including campus-wide renovations at Magnolia, Hope and Kelly elementary schools; a renovation of the Carlsbad High School science lab and chiller; new fencing and security cameras; solar parking structures and battery storage at select campuses; water efficiency at all campuses; and new STEAM labs at Magnolia, Kelly, Hope, Poinsettia and Pacific Rim elementary schools.

Now in the project’s second phase, design work is underway for renovations at Aviara Oaks Middle School, Carlsbad Village Academy and Pacific Rim Elementary Schools.

According to staff, the plans focused on updating the oldest campuses first and moving on to newer schools down the road –though some newer schools like Pacific Rim and Poinsettia received new STEAM labs alongside some of the

older schools.

As work continues on several projects, the board must recommend which projects should be put on hold as construction costs continue to rise.

“Construction cost escalation has eaten into our available bond funds,” said Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Eric Dill.

According to Dill, school construction hard costs have drastically risen since Measure HH was approved six years ago, jumping from $450 per square foot in 2018 to $1,000 per square foot today – and counting.

Due to increased costs, some projects must be put on hold until more funding becomes available.

One of those projects will likely be the Carlsbad High School Cultural Arts Center, first built in 1979.

The plan is to preserve the auditorium and fly tower while demolishing all support spaces and two-story building components, bringing those areas to the ground floor for better stage and auditorium access.

The Cultural Arts Center renovation was projected to cost the district approximately $14 million in

2018, but according to Dill, that cost has likely doubled.

“This would be well over $30 million,” Dill said.

Dill said the district has already invested significant amounts of money for campus-wide renovations at Carlsbad High.

Trustee Ray Pearson was the first board member to suggest putting that project on hold for now.

“I’m very reluctantly going along with that,” said Trustee Elisa Williamson.

The school board also agreed to pull the remaining $87 million in funds from the bond all at once to use before summer 2025 to focus on replacing portable classrooms with permanent structures on campuses.

Additionally, the school board gave staff the green light to gather public input on existing design concepts for Aviara Oaks Middle School and Pacific Rim Elementary School.

Since 1999, Aviara Oaks Middle and Aviara Oaks Elementary schools have shared a campus. The district plans to move the administrative and nursing offices out of the current building into a new two-story building closer

to the middle school’s entrance.

The building would include science labs and classrooms on the second floor. The existing administrative offices would be converted into a staff work room and lounge, which the campus currently lacks.

“We have counselors currently in portable classrooms so we would be replacing those with a permanent building anyway,” Dill said. “What else can we bring in there?”

The plans also consider fixing both Aviara Oaks schools’ traffic patterns by separating the parking lots and creating one-way inand-out lanes for the elementary side on the southern part of Ambrosia Lane and the same for the middle school side on the northern part. Staff is also considering installing a roundabout on site.

At Pacific Rim, the current idea is to build an eight-classroom building with a separate building for children’s care and music classes. The children’s care building would be closer to the entrance to make it easier for parents to pick up their children.

Blue blobs not great for dogs

By Claire Strong ENCINITAS

— Have you noticed the hundreds, if not thousands, of blue jelly-like blobs piling up along North County’s beaches? Let us introduce velella velella.

These small creatures may look like jellyfish, but they are actually marine hydrozoans, a group of aquatic animals closely related to jellyfish and similar to the toxic Portuguese man-ofwar.

This animal feeds on planktonic organisms with tentacles that have harpoon-firing cells called cnidocysts, just like jellyfish, according to the Natural History Museum os Los Angeles County.

Thankfully, velella velella are usually harmless to humans, but dog owners are warned to keep their pooches away. Although not life-threatening, their stinging cells can cause irritation and an upset stomach if eaten.

“Watch for signs such as hypersalivation, pawing at the mouth, or actual vomiting,” said Kristie Leslie, a veterinarian at the Drake Center for Veterinary Care in Encinitas.

Velella velellas also go by the nicknames “by-the-

peak, I punched out of the smog... and I was like, oh my gosh, this is absolutely beautiful,” McDermott said. “So, what am I going to do? I’m going to go back down and grab someone else. Let me guide you up this path that I just found. I ended up creating Next Peak out of that.”

Justin Davis, a former Fleet Marines Forces corpsman who now works for the Navy, is a San Diego veteran who has been leading a meditation-guided suicide prevention group at Post 5431 for around seven months. He became involved with Next Peak and the Solana Beach VFW after meeting McDermott while the two were petitioning for the Treat California initiative in 2023.

Davis now serves as Next Peak’s director of

wind sailors” and “little sails” due to their sail-like structures that stick up above the water and have stinging cells in their tentacles.

They have no way of moving except by the tide or wind and occasionally wash up in large numbers along Southern California’s coast.

Marlee Pracuta’s dog, Buster, a forty-pound mixbreed, took full advantage of the free snacks during their recent walk along a Carlsbad beach.

“I was freaking out,” she said. “He ate three of them and it was like someone had put a big bowl of food in front of him.”

Thankfully, Buster was no worse for wear, but what should you do if your dog swallows a velella velella?

“Offer them icy water,” Leslie said. “It’s not a guarantee, but it would be cooling on the mouth and could help with irritation.”

“They have a pretty complex life history,” said Linsey Sala, senior museum scientist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “They will reside in the deep sea during wintertime, and then when conditions are such that they support a lot of zooplankton activity like we see here in the spring, they make an excursion up to the surface.”

spiritual services and said he has seen more veterans embrace meditation as a means of grounding themselves.

“What I notice is that they are so pleasantly surprised at how much it makes a difference. It’s one of those things that can be a difficult sell, but I think on the whole, once people start to do it, they really take to it,” Davis said.

As a previously homeless veteran who has struggled with mental health, Davis sees the need for more holistic veteran resources beyond what can be provided by the Veterans Affairs agency. He said many VFW posts operate as “glorified bars,” setting the Solana Beach VFW apart.

“As somebody who is eight years sober, I couldn’t set foot in a VFW,” Davis said. The model we really see for the VFW is a place where we’re not following

one particular creed. There are traditional therapies, breathwork, recovery meetings … I’ve been gathering surfboards, and in the summer, I want to have a surf club here where we can all head down to the water.”

For McDermott, having a reciprocal relationship with the community is crucial. He said he wants Next Peak and the VFW to hold several large service events throughout the year, and he wants to hear from the community about what these events should be.

“The culture that we have is, ‘Hey, we’re not here to take,” McDermott said. “A big part of that is serving the veterans, but the other part of it is serving the community that’s actually allowing this to happen in the first place.”

Surf club honors R. Preisendorfer

In the world of celebrity, you know you’ve made it when you are referred to by your initials: JFK, MLK and FDR are easily matched to their full names by anyone who’s ever skimmed a grade-school history book. First name status is also a sign of Himalayan company: Arnold, Oprah, Tiger. No surname required, thank you.

The surfing world has its own list of mono handles: Shaun (Tomson), Joel (Tudor), Kelly (Slater) rank highly among them. Welcome to celebrity Valhalla. The only way of narrowing the field further would be to be known by a single letter. That category is occupied exclusively by one Rusty Preisendorfer, whose R. is omnipresent in lineups from D Street to Duranbah.

Not that anyone calls him R dot, but any surfer who sees the 18th letter of the alphabet stamped onto the deck of a surfboard punctuated by a period, knows to whom it refers. R period. It seems like an exclamation point indicating that nothing further needs saying.

I first became aware of Rusty in the mid '70s when he was part of a crew of Gordon & Smith team riders emerging from La Jolla Shores. I was working the counter at a Koast Surfboards on Coast Highway in Cardiff when he walked in and introduced himself with his full name, which was unnecessary even then.

He said he was seeking work as a shaper. I referred him down the road, to the one and only John Kies, who was then head shaper for Koast, and Hank Byzak, the owner of a Leucadia surf shop known affectionately as “Pure Fun.” Grateful for my help, Rusty offered to shape me a board. The “egg” he made me was among the best boards I’ve ever ridden.

Soon afterward, Rusty began his own label, Music. These, to me, were among the finest surf craft of the time, a high note highlighting his artistic side. Music was followed by a stint at

water spot

Canyon, and finally the big launch into his own brand, Rusty Surfboards.

During the 1980s, Rusty became the top choice of professional surfers internationally. While Dave Parmenter ruled the waves in California, Mark “Occy” Occhilupo, arguably the top goofyfoot surfer of all time, rode Rustys to enough victories to secure a World Surfing Championship in 1999.

Over the years, Rusty has experimented with all types of snowboards and wakeboards and a clothing company. Through it all, however, the master craftsman always returns to his first love, sculpting foam within fractions of an inch that become vehicles of joy for everyone from beginners to the world’s best surfers.

Last Saturday evening, Rusty was honored for his numerous achievements by the Windansea Surf Club at Duke’s in La Jolla. In an auction featuring collectible surfboards by Craig Hollingsworth of Lightning Bolt, a Dick Brewer bigwave gun shaped by Gary Linden, and a Hot Buttered Surfboard by Hank Warner, a custom Rusty surfboard was offered to the highest bidder.

The board went for around $2,000, a long way from the 20 bucks that would send the man who was on the eve of becoming ranked among the best surfboard designers in the world into the shaping room to reveal a masterpiece after the foam dust had cleared.

I’ve never paid anywhere near that price for anything smaller than a car, but I’ve managed to pack a few Rusty Surfboards over the years. I think I speak for everyone who ever bought and sold one saying, “I wish I still had them.”

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR THE NORTH COUNTY SHERIFF’S PATROL PROGRAM

The Senior Volunteer Patrol of the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station is recruiting volunteers for its senior Volunteer Patrol program.

The Senior Volunteer Patrol performs home vacation security checks, assists with traffic control, and enforces disabled parking regulations. We patrol neighborhoods, schools, parks, and shopping centers both in the patrol car and on foot. We visit homebound seniors who live alone in the communities of Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar, and portions of the county’s unincorporated areas, such as Rancho Santa Fe. We are an extra set of “eyes and ears” for the deputies on patrol, which is our primary mission!

Volunteers must be at least 50 years old, be in good health, and have no significant mobility limitations. Volunteers must also pass a background check, have auto insurance, and a valid California driver’s license. Training includes two weeks at the Sheriff’s Academy plus in the field patrols.

The minimum time commitment for a Volunteer is 24 hours per month, which represents four 6-hour shifts with a partner and attendance of one program meeting per month.

Interested parties should contact the Senior Volunteer office at 760 966-3579 to schedule an initial interview.

24th Cruisin’ Grand roars to life

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO

— Every Friday for the next five months, Grand Avenue will host the largest weekly car cruise west of the Mississippi River.

Cruisin’ Grand returned for its 24th season on May 3, attracting thousands of visitors to see the dozens of pre-1974 hot rods and other vintage vehicles on display.

“Cruisin' Grand is honored to be called one of the best cruises in the country,” the event’s website states. “We try to keep it simple and focus only on what works with our community history, i.e., 1973 and earlier American-made classics, customs, vintage, muscle and hot rods cruising Grand Avenue, just like they did 50 to 60 years ago on a Friday night, hope-

bers since part-time staff members in the city are not afforded those benefits. He also said it is unnecessary when people can access health care under the Affordable Care Act.

fully shoulder-to-shoulder with a date!”

Started in 1999, Cruisin’ Grand brings downtown on Fridays to life between May and September, boosting local businesses as vis-

While the increase would still make Del Mar among the lowest-paying cities, Councilmember Tracy Martinez emphasized that it’s also a matter of respect, as the council’s low pay is somewhat of a joke among other jurisdictions.

“When I became a

itors fill shops and restaurants for five hours every Friday night.

Many visitors also take the opportunity to show off their own unique vehicles while cruising down Grand

Avenue during the event.

This year would have been Cruisin’ Grand’s 25th anniversary. However, the event was canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Each Friday, the car show highlights a different group of classic cars. On May 10, Cruisin’ Grand will feature early Ford models, including the Model T, Model A and early V8 models.

The last day of this season’s Cruisin’ Grand is Sept. 27. For a full schedule of events, visit www.cruisingrand.net.

For those along the North County coastline, Encinitas Cruise Nights starts May 16 and will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of every month from May through September.

council member, I can’t tell you how many people joked outside the city about our stipend. It also reflects on respect from outside cities,” she said. “This is really uncomfortable because it makes it sound like it’s about us, and it’s not about us — it’s about the future going forward.” She also noted that buying health care on the market can be extremely expensive.

Gaasterland called Worden’s assertion that the council should be seen as a volunteer position “elitist.” She said even a small pay increase could make a difference in whether someone decides they can afford to run a council campaign or not.

“For somebody like me and other professors, having that extra $650 a month, that turns into $7,800 extra per year. That can be the difference in justifying, ‘You know what, I’m going to run for council,’” Gaasterland said.

Stipend increases would go into effect at the start of each council member’s next term, meaning that those re-elected in November would see the increase sooner than those facing re-election in 2026. This is a requirement of state law that seeks to prevent council members from voting simply in their own interests, according to City Attorney Leslie Devaney. If voters approve, the measure would also allow the council to approve future stipend increases without requiring additional voter approval.

Councilmember Dan Quirk was not present for the discussion.

After Del Mar, the cities with the lowest overall monthly stipends are Solana Beach ($860 for council members, $960 for the mayor) and Coronado ($914 for council members and mayor), according to data presented to the council.

The cities of Lemon Grove and Imperial Beach pay council members between $641 and $803, but mayors receive upwards of $1,400.

San Diego pays the highest, at $14,905 for council members and $19,873 for Mayor Todd Gloria.

love,’’ he said.

first of many wonderful gifts ... in my life’ sports talk

jay paris

It was the same Mother’s Day gift, year after year, for the lovely Henrietta Leitner.

Her son Ted would deliver a bright-red, oversized, heart-shaped box of chocolates, which she welcomed as much as her sportscaster son.

His mom would rip open the box, then tear into Leitner.

“I’m surprised all the pieces are still in it,’’ she would say, delivering a jab just below the heart, as in the ribs.

“It was our running gag for so many years,’’ he said. “That was wonderful, it was great. But Mother’s Day isn’t the same for me anymore.’’

Mother’s Day arrives on Sunday, and with it, Leitner’s memories of his supportive mom wash over him.

Leitner recently announced that he’ll soon retire from a broadcasting career that has him on San Diego’s Mount Rushmore of anyone ever holding a microphone.

But what he grasps tighter are the recollections of his mother, who was known, with affection, as “Henny.”

“What a mountain of

Ted Leitner fondly remembers his mom, Henny, shown with a young Ted in the pictures above, who shielded her three sons from their emotionally abusive father. Courtesy photo/”Ted Talks”

She offset the volcano that was Leitner’s grumpy father, Murray. He was an ill-tempered and tortured soul, one who harassed his wife and three sons in a manner that was abusive and left emotional scars.

“I try not to tell people much about this,’’ Leitner said. “I didn’t talk about it or bring it up all those years on KFMB or anywhere, actually. I never got into it.’’

He explored his dysfunctional family in “Ted Talks,” his compelling book published in 2022. Leitner wrote that his father constantly berated everyone crammed into their Bronx apartment.

In explaining his dad’s vitriol, Leitner exposed his mother’s virtues.

“I’ve had so many breaks in my life, professionally and personally,’’ Leitner, 76, said. “But my first break came from my mother because she was a perfectionist at loving me.’’

In a home where Leitner’s self-esteem was attacked 24/7, his mother had his back around the clock.

“My dad was difficult and he would be yelling at us, putting us down, and she was our buffer,’’ he said. “She

would say, ‘That’s enough, leave them alone.’’’

Listeners are never a party of one with “Uncle Teddy” speaking. The gentleman who was the voice of San Diego sports for more than four decades will mark his 30th year on San Diego State hoops next season and then drop the mic.

What Leitner hasn’t let go of is something that happened in 1978, his first year in San Diego. His dear 70-year-old mother, likely battling Alzheimer’s, was in a nursing home in Hartford, Connecticut, and near the end of her incredible life.

“Those were horrible days for someone like her, as they are with anyone else who has Alzheimer’s,’’ he

said. “They don’t deserve to live that way. Losing her like that, I just...’’

Just before Leitner’s sports segment on the 11 p.m. news, Lew, his older brother, called to say their confused mother was fading. He encouraged Leitner to resist rushing back and instead remember the sweet persona she displayed when they were kids.

“That last red-eye flight had already left, but I was going to get on the first plane in the morning,’’ Leitner said. “My brother said, ‘No, no, we know how close you were to her and how sentimental you are about her. You don’t want to see this scene.’ While I didn’t know what that meant, I’m sure it

was bad. With that, I didn’t go.

“I took the easy way out, and I have never forgiven myself for that. In the end, it’s something you have to do, and I didn’t do it and I’ve had to live with that.’’

Leitner’s empathy is evident for others going through similar or tougher upbringings. He feels for children absorbing the daily derogatory barrage from a parent. He had a kindred spirit in Joe Torre, the former major league player and manager.

“Joe and I had several conversations about it,’’ Leitner said. “His dad was a New York City cop, and if Joe came home after school and saw his dad’s unmarked police car parked out front, he

wouldn’t go inside because he knew he might be slapping his mother around.

“You commiserate with others, while knowing some kids had it much worse than I did with alcoholic parents and getting physical abuse.”

For Leitner, his shining light was Henny.

For Leitner, his refuge was a woman dominated by an overbearing man, high on testosterone and low on being a role model.

This Mother’s Day mimics the others since Henny’s passing, as Leitner reflects on her kindness but also curses her fate.

“She never got to see me on TV and never heard me on the radio,’’ he said. “She never got to be proud of her son.’’

Henny likely didn’t require the visuals of her son in a sharp suit in a studio, pontificating about this and that.

She knew he was as fond of her and her beloved pot roast as she was of him.

Leitner’s dedication in his book reveals the love story of an appreciative son and his thoughtful mother:

“To Henrietta Cohen Leitner, the first of many wonderful gifts I’ve been given in my life. As Paul Anka wrote: ‘If in death the good Lord is kind, you’ll be the last thing on my mind.’ Rest in peace, Mom.”

Happy Mother’s Day, Mrs. Leitner. Here’s to you looking on from above while devouring chocolates sent with love from your son.

Life-changing results in just six weeks

With access to the latest in AIpowered fitness technology and a certified personal trainer by your side, it’s more than possible to achieve life-changing results in as little as six weeks. Just ask one of the winners of The Smart Fit Method’s Six Week Challenge which concluded this past April.

55-year-old Trey was an aviator with the Navy for eight years and has been training with the team in Yorba Linda for an entire year before signing himself up for the Six Week Challenge. The challenge came for him at just the right time, as he was looking for a reason to jumpstart his fitness and accomplish his major goals.

Trey’s results were outstanding. In only six weeks, he shredded 16 pounds of pure fat mass. This would be impressive enough, but he also gained 1.7 pounds of muscle in the process. Thanks to Smart Scan technology, the personal training staff can see that difference instead of focusing on the number on the scale.

So, what’s Trey’s secret? He

comes in each morning to complete one of the 20-minute workouts at The Smart Fit Method. He starts his week by completing a Smart Strength session, which uses patented Adaptive Resistance(tm) motorized resistance to complete a perfect, total body workout. Then, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it’s all about Smart Cold Hiit, a workout on Vasper-systems NASA technology that packs a 2-hour workout into a single, 20-minute session using cooling and compression. Wednesdays and

Fridays are for Smart Ride with LiveO2 where he trains his VO2 Max and maximizes his body’s fatburning potential with help from oxygen therapy training.

After his body adjusted to the enhanced protocols, Trey is feeling stronger, sleeping better, and has more energy than ever before.

Students build tiny homes for homeless vets

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO — Con-

struction students at San Pasqual High School recently raised the walls on a newly built tiny mobile home that, when finished, will house once-homeless veterans.

San Pasqual is the second local high school to partner with the Warrior Village Project, a Fallbrook-based nonprofit that teaches young adults future career skills in construction while providing housing for homeless veterans.

In 2019, Mark Pilcher started the project alongside Michael McSweeney, the California Homebuilding Foundation’s career and technical education coordinator, and students in the construction pathway at San Marcos High School.

Since then, San Marcos students have built two tiny homes and are working hard on a third. Pilcher said the first home, now owned by the Wounded Warrior Project, has already provided residence to several veterans.

San Marcos and San Pasqual students are both currently working on modular – or mobile – tiny homes, allowing them to be transported elsewhere.

San Pasqual’s home will be 168 square feet on a 20-foot-long, 8-foot-wide trailer with wheels. The dwelling will feature cabinets built by Palomar College students and a Murphy-type bed that folds into the wall for extra space.

Once finished, the home will also have a small deck to provide extra outdoor living space.

“It’s like a studio on wheels,” said McSweeney, who taught the students how to frame the walls.

San Pasqual just began work on its tiny home in January, and with summer break approaching next month, students will have to wait until next year to finish the project.

Although the home won’t be finished by the end of this year, seniors like Darius Jones had the privilege of experiencing a major

achievement in the construction world: raising the walls of a new home.

Jones, who plans to enlist in the Navy after graduation, was one of eight students in San Pasqual’s CTE Construction pathway who raised the walls of the school’s first tiny home on May 7.

Jones has spent the last three years learning valuable, career-ready skills in the construction program.

“I like working with my hands building stuff,” he said. “It’s a good feeling when you finish something.”

Working with the War-

rior Village Project, Jones had two reasons to feel good about completing his part in the tiny home.

“I’m just glad I get to help homeless people,” he said.

San Pasqual construction instructor Brandon Tarrac was grateful for his students’ opportunity to work with Pilcher and McSweeney on the project. Tarrac also praised Escondido-based Dixieline Lumber for donating materials to the cause.

“Everything we do here involves training modules on a small scale where it’s OK to

mess up and learn how to fix it. This is learning how to build a home the right way, understanding that’s not just how to do it but also how to build it up to code so it passes state inspection and actually stands up…It translates to skills that they can actually put on their resume,” Tarrac said. “It’s a real-world project – someone’s going to live in it, so it’s not just a training module anymore. That’s what gets them a job.”

Tarrac, a Marine Corps combat veteran who served in Fallujah during the Iraq War, knows what it’s like to see fellow servicemembers struggle after returning home and commended the program for providing the necessary support veterans need to transition back into civilian life.

I’ve seen what that does

to people there and coming back,” he said. “Many people don’t have the resources they need to navigate and adjust back to civilian society, so this is just one thing we can do to help give them a place to stay and find those additional resources.”

Pilcher plans to expand the project with similar programs at other area schools and continue to work with San Marcos and San Pasqual high schools.

“I’m hoping to add at least one more school next fall,” Pilcher said. “The goal is to add more schools each year.”

Pilcher is also seeking more nonprofit organizations to take over the tiny homes once they are finished to provide housing to other homeless veterans in the region.

New San Marcos HeloPod to assist firefighting efforts

By Laura Place SAN MARCOS — Cal

Fire unveiled the newest addition to its firefighting toolbox in San Marcos this week, with the goal of better serving the area north of San Marcos Boulevard.

The HeloPod, a 5,000-gallon cistern in the Santa Fe Hills, serves as a high-capacity water source that allows helicopters to fill their water tanks while still in the air by sucking up water via a tube.

Helicopters save precious time when combating

fires by filling their water tanks from the air with hundreds of gallons of water in just under a minute — four times faster than filling by landing. The pod then refills automatically with water from the district’s supply.

Cal Fire donated the HeloPod in a joint effort with the Vallecitos Water District and the city of San Marcos. The agencies saw the need for a water source to battle wildfires in the wildland-urban interface in the Santa Fe Hills, where

homes back up directly onto wildlands.

“Between the three of us, we got together and made this a reality,” said Brent Pascua, Fire Captain with Cal Fire/San Diego County Fire. “This is going to greatly enhance the effectiveness of all aerial firefighting, by helping to protect people and their property.”

Leaders from Vallecitos, Cal Fire and the city of San Marcos celebrated the implementation of the HeloPod on Tuesday.

“Today, we are marking an occasion of progress and partnership as much as we are celebrating the milestone in-service of the HeloPod,” said Vallecitos Board President Tiffany Boyd-Hodgson.

While there are plenty of water sources in the southern portion of the Vallecitos Water District — including Lake San Marcos, Discovery Lake, Southlake and Jack’s Pond — there are currently no firefighting water sources north of San Marcos Boulevard.

75th National Horse Show jumps into action

Five-day event celebrates hunters, jumpers and more

By Laura Place

DEL

— The acclaimed Del Mar National Horse Show is celebrating its landmark 75th year at its new home at the Del Mar Horsepark along El Camino Real, welcoming back riders after a four-year hiatus.

The National Jumper-Hunter Week features events in the dirt arenas and the iconic Grand Prix

grass field with jumps up to 4 feet tall. Hunter events focus on style and quality, while jumpers are judged on having a fast and clean round.

The show includes a $100,000 Grand Prix taking place at 2 p.m. on Saturday. Hunter and jumper events were preceded by the Del Mar National Horse Show Dressage Week from April 11 to 14.

The national show began in 1946 as part of the San Diego County Fair and has since grown to be one of the country’s top horse shows, traditionally taking

place at the Surfside Race Place. In 2020, the show was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, kicking off a four-year pause.

“The Del Mar National Horse Show is not just an event; it's a cherished tradition that brings together people who share a passion for horses and the equestrian lifestyle,” said Dale Harvey, Del Mar Horsepark general manager.

Its move to the newly-renovated Del Mar Horsepark, which reopened last summer under new management by Horse Shows in The Sun, or HITS,

marks the start of a new era for the show.

“This year marks a significant milestone in the history of the Del Mar National Horse Show, and we are proud to announce a new chapter as we move to our stunning new location, HITS Del Mar Horsepark. The state-of-the-art facilities at HITS Del Mar Horsepark provide the perfect backdrop for this iconic event, promising an unforgettable experience for both exhibitors and spectators alike,” Harvey said.

County eyes Green Oak Ranch for sober living

By Laura Place VISTA

— The San Diego County Board of Supervisors is pursuing the purchase of the Green Oak Ranch property in Vista to create a proposed $280 million sober living and behavioral health treatment facility to fill a critical service gap in the region.

Supervisors are eyeing an approximately 110acre portion of Green Oak Ranch’s total 142 acres that was put up for sale almost a year after the passing of the land’s former owner, Arie de Jong, last April. The parcel for sale includes a summer camp and retreat facility that has hosted thousands of youth over the years, as well as an RV park and a residential men’s recovery program.

for healing, for people to be safely discharged, to free up our hospital beds.”

Despite the potential benefits of behavioral health treatment, faith-based nonprofit Green Oak Ranch Ministries, which operates the recovery program, said it would have a lot to lose if the land was sold.

and we believe that everyone needs this space, but we should not harm one organization to make way for another,” Gailey said. “Green Oak Ranch Ministries operates without government funding and will now rely much more heavily on donations.”

in a closed-session meeting last week, but a city spokesperson declined to comment on whether the city was interested in buying the land.

Despite this, Green Oak Ranch Ministries will be able to continue operating on another 28-acre area of the ranch that is not up for sale. The nonprofit is currently preparing to open a house for women and children on-site next month.

Supervisors said the center would include round-the-clock security, job training, educational opportunities and recreational facilities, in addition to mental health and substance addiction treatment, including withdrawal management beds, recovery residences, and board and care.

Last week, the Board of Supervisors directed interim Chief Administrative Officer Sarah Aghassi to begin negotiations with the owners of Green Oak Ranch with a $300,000 earnest deposit for the estimated $12 million purchase.

that could help the county meet its desperate need for regional behavioral health facilities.

The organization’s executive director, Hannah Gailey, said the recovery and sober living program receives 85% of its funding from revenue generated by the summer camps, retreats and RV park rentals and does not receive any government funding.

Supervisor Jim Desmond, whose district includes most of North County, said the land just south of state Route 78 is an oasis

“This item is a unique and extraordinary opportunity for a future regional behavioral health site in San Diego County,’’ Desmond said. “We need sites

The nine-month program helps participants recover through a community model involving group and individual services and support.

“We think it’s really a tragedy for the community to lose the retreat center,

“Even if we lose ground, Green Oak Ranch Ministries will continue to expand,” Gailey said.

Aside from the county, sources say that other buyers are also bidding for the property. The Vista City Council discussed real property negotiations regarding Green Oak Ranch

Staff said the county would also work to ensure that people are placed in long-term housing once they leave the Green Oak campus.

National CORE, Interfaith Community Services, San Diego Rescue Mission, and Scripps Health wrote letters of support for the facility to the Board of Supervisors.

assessed, we respectfully ask that you stay positioned to support Southern California and the city of Oceanside with any emergency funding to address the repair and remediation needs,” the letter states. “Investing in the restoration of this iconic landmark is not only essential for preserving our heritage but also for uplifting the local economy and ensuring the continued prosperity of the region.”

While the investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing, Fire Chief David Parsons said preliminary investigations determined the fire was most likely an accident and not intentional.

With the busy summer tourist season quickly approaching, regional leaders hope to see the pier restored as quickly as possible.

The letter states, “Rebuilding the historic pier as quickly as possible is paramount and will likely require financial support from the State of California. “The damage to the pier hurts local tourism, nearby small businesses, and the community as a whole.”

Oceanside city leaders, including Mayor Esther

Sanchez, Deputy Mayor Ryan Keim and City Manager Jonathan Borrego, have also announced their intention to see the pier swiftly restored.

The City Council unanimously voted on May 1 to issue a local emergency declaration to help the city obtain emergency funding for the pier’s restoration. Councilmember Rick Robinson was absent from the vote.

City leaders have also announced plans to reopen the pier to the public by May 10, marking roughly two weeks since the fire scorched the historic wooden pier.

“The damaged far west end of the (pier) will remain closed and fenced off until further notice, as debris removal and reconstruction will soon be underway,’’ a statement from the city asserts. “We appreciate (the community’s) patience and understanding as we work to ensure the pier is safe for all.’’

The legislators also commended the work of the Oceanside Fire Department, whose “prompt action undoubtedly played a crucial role in preventing further escalation of the situation and minimizing damage.

According to OFD, fire-

fighters were on the scene five minutes after dispatch learned of the fire. The letter also thanked the Carlsbad Fire Department, Vista Fire Department, Camp Pendleton Fire and Emergency Services, San Diego Gas & Electric, the U.S. Coast Guard, Oceanside Lifeguards, California Office of Emergency Services and other partners who helped extinguish the fire.

“Their collective efforts underscore a deep commitment to public safety,” the letter states.

City News Service contributed to this report.

HomeState, Tanner’s bold flavors hit South O

In my ongoing series highlighting some of the excellent dining options in South Oceanside, this week, I'm featuring two of the neighborhood's newest additions, HomeState and Tanner's Prime Burgers.

When I first heard the phrase "Texas-inspired soul food" describing HomeState, my interest was piqued. It's not often you see those words paired together. HomeState opened in early 2023 in the Freeman Collective on West Vista Way in South Oceanside. With several popular locations in Los Angeles, it specializes in Texas cuisine, offering some of the best breakfast tacos, queso, and other soulful delights in Oceanside.

Briana Valdez, who grew up in various Texas cities before settling in Austin to study business at St. Edward's University, is the owner of HomeState. After graduation, Valdez moved to Los Angeles, where she worked at Chef Thomas Keller’s Bouchon.

In 2013, Valdez founded HomeState to share her passion for Texas breakfast tacos, queso, house-made flour tortillas and other dishes inspired by her grandmother and reflective of her "home state."

The restaurant offers a variety of menu items, including tacos named after rivers in Texas, all made with the Valdez family's award-winning flour tortilla recipe, pasture-raised eggs, Rosie’s organic chicken, and other top-notch ingredients.

I sampled "Don’t Mess with Texas" from the "Breakfast Taco" section, which included refried charro beans, bacon, potatoes, and cheddar cheese. It was, without a doubt, the best breakfast taco I’ve ever had. The combination of ingredients, especially the refried charro beans, was exceptional. They offer both flour and corn tortillas; I opted for the flour, and it was fabulous.

From the "Anytime Tacos" section, I tried the organic chicken tacos with spicy achiote marinade, guacamole, and cabbage slaw on a corn tortilla. It was another standout dish, with a unique mix of ingredients that set it apart from a standard chicken taco.

Burgers. It’s a collaboration between renowned chef Brandon Rodgers and Eric Brandt from the Brandt Beef family, taking smash burgers to another level.

Rodgers, formerly the chef de cuisine at Benu, a three-Michelin-starred restaurant in San Francisco, also worked at The French Laundry and In Situ at SFMOMA. He met Brandt in 2007 during the Bocuse d’Or, which led to this beautiful burger collaboration.

mented chile mash blended with vinegar.

Their hotdog is equally impressive and topped with Cowboy Beef Bacon, caramelized onions, and New School American Cheese in a brioche bun with Tanners Sauce, diced onions, juicy tomato, and chopped chiles.

Fries come plain, cheesy, or "dirty" with beef tallow, providing a rich beef flavor.

Save room for their

Fatty Patty, which features a scoop of beef tallow ice cream sandwiched between two homemade chocolate chip cookies. While smash burgers are common in the area, Tanner’s elevates them to a high-end, chef-driven level worth experiencing. Tanner's Prime Burgers is open from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. Learn more at www.tannersprimeburgers.com.

The "Band Tacos" section offers even more adventurous options with creative names like Chicano Batman, Tijuana Panther, Emo’s, and Ft. Worth. The combination of ingredients was entirely new to me but very appealing, showcasing the Texas influence. In the "Eats" portion of the menu, they serve Frito Pie in a Bag, Cowboy Cup, and Ranch Salad, all of which will warrant several repeat visits. Eggs, or “migas,” are scrambled and offered three ways: with crispy corn strips, onion, and cheese.

les, margaritas, palomas, and Shiner Beer from Texas.

HomeState puts a unique spin on many of our favorites, making it a welcome addition to my regular restaurant rotation.

Their 2,000-squarefoot space is a co-star of the experience, with clean lines, indoor-outdoor seating, and a distinct aesthetic. Everything on the menu is made with Brandt Beef, but the burgers shine, offered as a single or double patty.

Beverages include coffee made with a HomeState blend roasted in Los Ange-

Next door to HomeState is another worthy addition to the local dining scene: Tanner’s Prime

The New School cheese company made an aged cheddar cheese specifically for Tanner's, Artifex Brewing brewed Tanner's Lager and IPA, and Avery Girl Honey near the Brandt ranch provided the honey for their sweet tea, among other distinctive features.

ment posed no threat to campus safety and that calling on police was a “shocking abdication of the Chancellor’s mandate to support and protect our students.”“Faculty of the Ethnic Studies department at UC San Diego are outraged at the vicious suppression of our students by our administration under the leadership of Chancellor Pradeep Khosla,” the statement said.

“Hostile actions by the administration and the police they ordered onto campus caused disastrous upheaval, including physical injuries and an authoritarian fracturing of peaceful student organizing and community.”

The university’s Department of Music issued a statement the same day condemning the arrests.

On Tuesday morning,

the San Diego Faculty Association released a letter calling on Khosla to respect students’ free speech rights, reverse suspensions, and drop charges against students. As of Tuesday night, over 200 faculty members had signed it.

“We strongly condemn the recent repression of students across the country and express our unmitigated support for the rights of students to engage in protest and dissent on their campuses and beyond,” SDFA said in their statement.

After the arrests on Monday morning, around 100 police officers continued to push back against protestors for hours. A large crowd attempted to block San Diego County Sheriff’s buses as they tried to leave the campus with the arrested people aboard, resulting in one additional arrest, the university said.

Riot police utilized batons to push people back, knocking some people to the ground and using pepper spray on others. Medics were on the scene to provide first aid. According to the school, one minor injury was

Police also exhibited less lethal weapons containing what appeared to be rubber bullets, and additional officers could be seen on the roofs of campus buildings with additional weapons. Protests continued that afternoon at the San Diego

The protest at UCSD follows weeks of similar actions at colleges around the country, as students call for a ceasefire in Gaza and for universities to cut ties with Israel and find themselves met with an often aggressive police response.

Over 2,000 students

At UCLA, police arrested over 200 protestors at the school’s weeklong encampment on May 4, just days after being criticized for a delayed response to attacks on the encampment from counter-protestors. A police consulting firm is now investigating law enforcement’s actions.

No significant injuries to protesters or the hundreds of police officers who took part in the raid were reported.

At USC, graduation preparations continued on

Members of the United Auto Workers 4811, which represents 48,000 graduate student workers across the UC system’s 10 schools, are planning a strike vote early next week in response to police action taken against protestors on campuses.

Hundreds of UCSD grad students have signed an open letter condemning the university’s actions, with dozens also holding a rally on campus Tuesday evening.

“This blatant disregard for the rights of students to engage in peaceful protest is unacceptable. Instead of engaging in meaningful dialogue and addressing the concerns of students, the administration has chosen to escalate tensions and resort to violence,” the letter said.

Survey: Small businesses see AI as a tool to grow

Despite the headlines touting artificial intelligence (AI) as human replacement, most small business owners and employees surveyed by Cox Business view the technology as a tool to strengthen and grow their teams.

Cox Business surveyed small business owners and employees to better understand their sentiment toward AI and how they use the technology in the workplace. Among those surveyed, 52% of small business owners said AI enables them to increase or retain employees, while 65% of small business employees said the same.

According to the survey, small business owners are increasing their AI investment to grow customer service, marketing and sales in 2024.

Enhancing the customer experience

Both small business owners and employees feel that they have a good grasp on what AI is and are comfortable using the tools within their organization:

• 85% of owners are somewhat to very comfortable using AI tools in their business

• 75% of employees are somewhat to very comfortable using AI tools in their business

Small business owners (53%) report AI had a positive impact on customer experience in 2023 and plan to use AI to support the customer experience in several ways this year:

• 36%: Online order product/service recommendations

• 35%: Online order placement

• 35%: Website live chatbot

• 33%: Customer service calls

AI Investment

One-third of small business owners invested in AI for their company last year and 53% plan to invest in AI even more in 2024.

The data clearly shows that small- and medium-sized businesses are embracing AI,” said Mark Greatrex, president of Cox Communications. “Leveraging AI to boost productivity and enhance the customer experience empowers entrepreneurs to take their business to the next level and prosper. With our generative AI practice at RapidScale,

MEDICARE HELP

Shit the road

ay Anaheim and your first thought no doubt is Disneyland, but author and travel writer Melanie Walsh says that there’s a whole lot more to this Orange County city of 344,000.

“I’m a big Disney fan myself, but Disneyland is not the only thing Anaheim has to offer,” said the mother of four and author of “100 Things to Do in Anaheim Before You Die.” “The rest of the city is magical, too.”

we are making it easier to realize the benefits faster.”

Help wanted

Currently, 75% of small business owners say they are responsible for their company’s AI implementation and operations. Even though more owners and employees say their company did not feel much impact from last year’s IT labor shortage, 42% of owners did see an impact, having experienced decreased revenue. The 43% of employees that saw an impact experienced:

• 43% Added job responsibility

• 40% Increased stress in the workplace

• 38% Working longer hours

“For SMBs with limited technology resources, building AI models specific to their business can be intimidating,” said Jeff Breaux, executive vice president of Cox Business. “But the engineers at RapidScale can make Generative AI accessible and guide businesses on the right deployments to improve a variety of use cases. From building the optimal data resources to training the machine learning models, we can make Generative AI achievable for a wider set of businesses looking for a powerful new growth engine.”

For more key survey findings, visit www.CoxBLUE.com/SmallBizSurvey.

A fourth-generation Anaheim resident who lives in a 100-year-old home within walking distance to Pearson Park, Walsh says, “I’ve always been connected to the history of the city.”

She began blogging about it when her children numbered two, and we “(took) a chance on destinations that we wouldn’t have gone to otherwise.”

It wasn’t until after the birth of her fourth child that Walsh began writing this book, but “it wouldn’t be much of a stretch to say that I’ve been researching my entire life.”

Among Walsh’s favorite Anaheim haunts are:

Anaheim Packing House – A former Sunkist orange-processing plant has taken on new life as a hip, multilevel food hall with eclectic offerings (i.e. chicken tikka poutine or cheeseburger egg rolls), dozens of craft breweries, merchants and artisans. “If you’re a foodie, it’s must.”

Pearson Park — Just two miles north of Disneyland, the park features a picturesque duck pond, extensive succulent garden, sports fields, and an amphitheater. A recent addition: Kobe Bryant Memorial Dream Court basketball court and stunning butterfly sculpture commemorating Bryant and daughter Gigi, who died in a helicopter crash in January 2020.

While Walsh writes about today’s Orange County, Chris Epting writes about The OC of yesteryear.

The veteran journalist,

travel writer, biographer and historian was inspired to write “Lost Landmarks of Orange County” by a “deep-seated belief that Orange County's historical and cultural contributions are often overlooked or undervalued. (I wanted) to uncover and celebrate the stories of the places that have played pivotal roles in shaping the region's history and identity.”

Epting’s text and copious historic photos and illustrations do that and more. He gives readers a surprise at every turn of the page. Who knew that Buena Park once had an alligator-and-snake show, Santa Ana a legal drag strip and Santiago Canyon a working coal mine?

Epting’s three years of research to create this 300page, hardcover collection of stories included documenting tales from people who had personal connections to these lost landmarks, and whose accounts “provided a rich tapestry of insights and perspectives that brought depth and authenticity to the narrative.”

Epting relocated to Huntington Beach in 1999 to work for a Newport advertising agency, “and it didn't take long for me to develop a deep appreciation for the region's rich history and cultural heritage,” he says. “I become keenly aware of the disappearing landmarks that had once played pivotal roles in shaping Orange County's identity.”

Epting’s book also includes updates on some of the lost landmarks, like the many neon motel signs that

illuminated the county’s roads between the 1920s and 1960s. Visitors can see them at the Museum of Neon Art in Glendale.

And while Disneyland (opened July 1955 and now Disneyland Resort) is still going strong, many attractions have long since disappeared. Epting details the whys of extinction for 26 attractions, including Country Bear Jamboree (1972-2001); Flying Saucers (1961-1966); House of the Future (1957-1967); Mike Fink Keel Boats (1955-1997); and Rocket to the Moon/Mission to Mars (1955-1992).

My once-Disneyland-fave: Adventure Thru Inner Space, which took riders through the Mighty Microscope to “explore the inner workings of the human body.”

On Epting’s list is the “beloved” La Palma Chicken Pie Shop in Anaheim, which closed in 2016 after the owner’s death. It had been open since 1955, and the shop’s neon sign also resides in the Museum of Neon Art.

By writing “Lost Landmarks,” Epting hopes that he “provides a valuable resource for both longtime residents and newcomers, because understanding the history and heritage of a place is essential for all individuals, regardless of their origins, because it enriches our connection to the community and fosters a deeper sense of belonging.”

Unlocking student leadership potential: Nurturing confidence and capability

By Olguita Vázquez, Head of School at The Rhoades School

As educators, we hold a profound belief in the inherent potential of every individual. At The Rhoades School, this conviction forms the cornerstone of our approach to “inspire curious minds to think deeply and live courageously” as our mission.

As the Head of School, I am guided by a simple yet powerful philosophy: "Inspiring others to take action, paving a path of achievement, and making a difference.” This belief is not just a mantra but a guiding principle that drives my educational endeavors. At the heart of this principle lies the recognition that confidence is a gift that, when nurtured in the right environment, can blossom into remarkable leadership.

• The Gift of Confidence: Our environment plays a pivotal role in shaping who we become. A nurturing community that fosters the full development of the self can inspire individuals to share the magic within them. It is within the confines of our classrooms, school, and communities that the seeds of confidence are sown and cultivated. When we create spaces where students feel valued, supported, and empowered, we lay the foundation for leadership to flourish.

• Empowering Student Leadership: Empowering student leadership is not just a goal; it is a journey that requires deliberate and thoughtful nurturing. We understand that providing opportunities for students to lead is not only beneficial for their personal growth but also enriches the entire learning ecosystem. When students practice collaborative leadership, engage in experiential learning, and feel free to express their unique ideas without fear of judgment, they become catalysts for positive change.

• Celebrating Accomplishments: When we provide platforms for students to lead, we are bound to witness a celebration of accomplishments. These moments of triumph not only boost morale but also instill a sense of pride and ownership within the student body. Whether it's organizing a charity event, spearheading a community service project, or leading a classroom discussion, every act of leadership contributes to the collective growth and success of our educational community.

• The Role of Educators: At the center of this transformative journey, we find amazing educators. Whether they are teachers, librarians, support staff, or coaches, educators play a pivotal role in shaping the lead-

ers of tomorrow. By providing guidance, mentorship, and support, educators inspire and empower students to unlock their full potential and lead with purpose.

For us at The Rhoades School, inspiring and developing teacher and student leadership is not just a goal; it is a collective commitment to nurturing confidence, capability, and character. By fostering a culture of empowerment, collaboration, and celebration, we pave the way for a future where every individual is empowered to lead, innovate, and make a difference.

• Beyond the Classroom: The ripple effects of student leadership extend far beyond the confines of the school walls. Equipped with the skills, confidence, and sense of purpose instilled during their formative years, our students are poised to make meaningful contributions to society. By fostering a strong sense of community within our schools, we empower our students to become active agents of change in their local and global communities. As a society, let us strive to create environments where these gifts can flourish, where leaders are nurtured, and where the potential for positive change knows no bounds.
