Cyclist sues city for crash

Firms also blamed for road condition Lawsuit

By Jordan P. Ingram

ENCINITAS — An Encinitas architect is suing the city and multiple contractors, claiming he was seriously injured in a bicycle crash caused by an improperly maintained roadway during an underground construction project.

In response, the city has filed a cross-complaint against two of the firms involved, seeking compensation in the event it is held liable for the incident.

Samuel Chereskin, principal architect at Chereskin Architecture/Momentum Studio and a former member of the Historic Preservation Commission for the city of Carlsbad, filed the lawsuit after he was ejected from his bicycle on Nov. 14, 2023, while riding along Hymettus Avenue.

The complaint alleges that Chereskin’s front tire struck a large pothole next to a concrete utility vault — a hazard the suit claims was created by a trench that had not been properly backfilled or maintained during a fiber-optic installation project.

Chereskin suffered a fractured elbow and a torn rotator cuff, both requiring surgery, according to the complaint. His wife, Pamela Chereskin, is also named as a plaintiff.

The lawsuit names the City of Encinitas along with Netly Fiber Holdings (now operating as UbiqTURN TO CYCLIST ON 20

Cost of lost secrecy at IRS

It seemed simple enough the other day when the Internal Revenue Service issued a brief statement saying it will now share addresses and other tax return data with immigration enforcement agencies.

This marked the first time the IRS has explicitly broken a promise of confidentiality (except when federal criminal warrants have been issued) for all tax information submitted to it.

WRITERS/COLUMNISTS INTERNS

acramento continues to push a radical transformation of California’s neighborhoods, authorizing up to four units and accessory dwellings on formerly single-family lots (SB 9) and allowing cities to upzone for up to 10 units (SB 10) near transit.

And new state bills that punish and destroy established neighborhoods continue to flood the legislative calendars. Supporters claim these laws address our housing crisis through equity, affordability, and climate-friendly growth.

But their assumptions are outdated. The current data does not support the ideology.

These laws were written under the belief that California’s population would keep booming. Yet the state’s population has shrunk for three of the last four years. Birth rates are at record lows. Net out migration remains high, and an aging Baby Boomer generation is poised to release millions of homes back into the market, naturally and without state mandates, over the next 10 to 20 years.

Fannie Mae projects that more than four million homes nationally will be vacated annually by 2032 due to generational turnover. In California, where Boomers hold a disproportionate share of single-family homes, this could significantly ease pressure on the housing market, without bulldozing established neighborhoods on a misguided bet.

Meanwhile, most Californians have already told us

what kind of living environments they prefer. They’re leaving dense, expensive urban cores for suburbs and small towns. Remote work has only accelerated this shift, as families seek space, safety, and affordability. Post-pandemic migration is not a fluke; it’s a fundamental reshaping of housing demand.

Instead of embracing these organic shifts, Sacramento is doubling down on top-down mandates that force density in places people are leaving, or worse, in established neighborhoods where people live and love.

If we want to see where this path leads, we need only look across the Pacific. Once hailed for its density and mass transit, Japan now faces the unintended consequences of demographic decline. With nearly 9 million vacant homes and shrinking cities, Japan’s experience is a cautionary tale: overbuilding amid population decline leaves empty infrastructure, hollowed-out communities, and financial strain on local governments.

California risks repeating these mistakes.

Urban densification is also expensive. It requires significant upgrades to aging sewers, utilities, and public services, costs often borne by already stretchedthin local governments. And the results so far? Underwhelming. SB 9, for example, produced fewer than 500 lot splits statewide in its first year, far short of its intended impact.

Rather than forcing one-size-fits-all solutions, California needs a better

framework, what planners call adaptive planning.

Adaptive planning means we let facts, not ideology, drive land-use decisions. It means empowering cities and counties, not Sacramento, to shape growth according to local needs. It means investing in agingin-place programs for Baby Boomers and supporting generational transitions of homes without sweeping rezoning mandates. It also means acknowledging and encouraging the quiet renaissance happening in rural and suburban communities. As highlighted in a recent 60 Minutes report, young people in Japan are returning to small towns to rebuild lives, raise families, and reconnect with community. These places typify the very things Californians say they want: space, affordability, and quality of life.

California should not see this movement as a problem. It should see it as a solution.

That’s why we need to rethink RHNA housing allocations, reevaluate density targets, and consider how innovation and repurposing existing commercial areas can play a central role in meeting housing, and affordable housing goals, without sacrificing community character.

Planning should follow people, not force people to follow a plan. Until we accept this truth, we will continue wasting billions building for a future that may never arrive.

I read the very interesting but disturbing article, “Encinitas cyclists, officials reignite debate over protected bike lanes,” about the bike lane debate and the troubling confirmed statistics regarding crashes, serious injuries and a fatality since the cycle track was installed. I ride that corridor almost weekly and find it to be the most dangerous area along the coast. I also found it interest-

ing that Marco Gonzales, a perennial defender of Catherine Blakespear, said that 99% of the incidents were rider error, but failed to cite a single data source to back that up.

I had to laugh when Mr. Gonzales said that he would “fight tooth and nail” if the city decides to remove what is commonly known as the “Cardiff Meat Grinder.”

If Mr. Gonzalez is successful, our rider community will have fewer teeth and

more nail-biting bike rides. It would be refreshing if a politician like Blakespear admitted that every idea that sounds good on paper does not always work. We all have bad ideas, admit mistakes, and move on. Supporting the cycle track and the disastrous Santa Fe corridor folly, despite the outcome, is not a good look.

It might cost the federal treasury billions of dollars, not to mention messing up longstanding sources of Social Security cash and state tax revenue.

For one of the dirty little secrets of undocumented immigrants is that millions of them have yearly filed tax returns just like U.S. citizens and other legal residents. They have also contributed billions of dollars over many decades to Social Security accounts they will never be able to access, as payments have never been available to the undocumented.

This means whatever they contribute goes toward paying everyone else, one factor that has staved off bankruptcy for the Social Security system many years longer than was predicted by some in the later years of the 20th century.

It’s not that illegal immigrants have always filed tax returns completely identical to those of citizens. For one thing, most of the undocumented file tax returns using individual taxpayer identification numbers rather than Social Security numbers, as most citizen taxpayers do.

California was home to about 1.8 million unauthorized residents in 2022. Those immigrants made up about 7% of the state’s work force and accounted for at least half of all farmworkers, according to the Pew Research Center.

But immigrant rights groups say fear is rampant today among the undocumented — and even among many who hold valid visas. They have seen individuals seized on sidewalks and sent quickly to detention centers thousands of miles away.

Now many who have filed and paid both federal and state taxes wonder whether they should keep doing so. No one knows yet the precise number of unauthorized residents who let the April 15 tax deadline go by without responding.

If they all stopped filing, California would lose an estimated $8.5 billion in state income tax money that’s usually paid in simultaneously with federal taxes that go to the IRS. Losing another $8-plus billion from a budget that has been strapped for several

“This will be detrimental not just to California, but in many other states,” said one pro-immigrant activist.

California’s senior U.S. senator, Alex Padilla, called the retreat from secrecy “a complete betrayal of the federal government’s decades-long commitment to never weaponize taxpayer information for political purposes…(It) could cost billions in lost tax revenue for states and the federal government.”

But some who considered not paying taxes this year out of fear soon realized that any information they suddenly withheld would not offer them much protection. That’s because the IRS has years of older returns on hand, most containing similar information.

Immigrant advocates say this led a healthy percentage of undocumented taxpayers to go ahead and file anyway, figuring they might use the filing in later immigration court hearings as proof of voluntary positive contributions to this country. Such an argument does not figure to spare deportation for those nabbed by federal immigration agents.

Then there’s the cost of the deportations themselves. The Washington, D.C.-based American Immigration Council said in a springtime report that the cost of a comprehensive mass deportation operation of 13 million of the undocumented would cost the federal government at least $315 billion. If deportations were conducted at 1 million a year, the group said costs would come to at least $88 billion per year. Those costs are unrelated to lost income tax revenue, which may already be felt at the IRS itself, where about 5,000 agents have resigned or retired this year, while 7,000 probationary employees were laid off.

Nor does anyone know how many “mixed” families featuring both legal residents and the undocumented have opted out of paying taxes.

County eyes Fallbrook ball fields for housing

North County Fire owns parcel, historic diamonds

By Leo Place

FALLBROOK — The North County Fire Protection District is preparing to sell the historic ball fields in Fallbrook to the County of San Diego to develop an affordable senior housing project.

County officials began exploring potential sites for affordable senior housing developments in Fallbrook in 2023, and identified the piece of land on the corner of North Orange Avenue and East Ivy Street owned by the North County Fire Protection District.

The baseball diamonds at Zeke Weaver Memorial Field were established over 100 years ago as part of the original Fallbrook Union High School campus, which opened in 1913. The fire protection district acquired the land in the 1960s and utilizes around two acres for its Station 1 and shop while maintaining the fields, which have been leased to Bonsall Fallbrook Little League for around 25 years.

On May 6, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors agreed to return for a hearing in June to enter into a $2 million purchase agreement with the fire protection district for the prop-

adding that, but you need to find another location, because getting rid of a little league facility for low-income housing is kind of backwards planning.”

Supervisor Jim Desmond said that even without the county’s plans, the site would likely be developed as affordable housing at some point because it qualifies as surplus land. However, he said the county would continue to honor the Little League lease at the fields after it acquired the land.

“I’d like them to be able to use them as long as possible,” Desmond said.

erty, declare it surplus land, and issue a request for proposals for the project.

“The repurposing of this land will not only aid in the creation of affordable housing options, but will meet the needs of low-income residents for years to come,” said county Housing and Community Development Services Director David Estrella.

North County Fire Chief Keith McReynolds said the district does not need those three acres of land for any fire district uses, and said they would like to utilize the money from the sale for critical improvements to Station 4 in Pala Mesa.

“We’re going to reinvest these dollars, if we’re successful with the sale, into

that fire station,” McReynolds told supervisors last Tuesday.

It will likely be several years before any housing is constructed on the site. A General Plan amendment for the land and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process will need to be completed before any housing can move forward.

The size and affordability level of the possible development have not been shared, as the county still needs to conduct a market study to determine the specific low-income housing needs in Fallbrook.

However, a staff report states that whatever is built will include a regulatory agreement requiring 100 percent of the residential

units to be affordable housing. The announcement has been shocking for those involved in Little League and the Fallbrook community at large. The fields are considered a community hub, where thousands of youth, going back generations, have played sports and created memories.

Bonsall Fallbrook Little League President Daniela Ramirez said losing the fields would devastate the community. Zeke Weaver regularly hosts around 150 kids from at least 10 Little League teams, with practices and games six days a week. It is also used by local soccer teams and residents recreating independently.

Ramirez said there are no other parks nearby for

the league to move to that also allow sports lighting, which the league requires nine months out of the year for evening practices and games.

“It’s just such a staple to the community, and so many people rely on it,” Ramirez said. “If they shut down this field, there’s a good chance we [the league] are gonna have to eventually shut down.”

Residents at large have also raised concerns. Fallbrook resident Todd Yetzer told supervisors on Tuesday that while affordable housing is essential, this is not the place to put it.

“You’re removing one of the only open grass baseball fields or parkland in the area,” Yetzer said. “I support low-income housing and

He also moved to require the developer to include some form of community space, such as a teen center, since the Boys & Girls Club is located next door.

Ramirez noted that the county’s information shared this week gave the impression that the land is unused. While she understands that the fire district needs money to update its facilities, she hopes the county will use the site for continued recreation rather than housing.

“I want to bring awareness to it, that we are here,” Ramirez said. “It’s such a big part of the community, and I want the county to know that.”

The Board of Supervisors will hold a hearing regarding acquiring the ball fields at their June 3 meeting.

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.

Solana Beach expects $2.4M budget surplus

By Leo Place SOLANA BEACH —

Measure S sales tax revenue continues to bolster the city of Solana Beach’s budget, with officials conservatively estimating a General Fund surplus of around $2.4 million each of the next two years, mainly from Measure S receipts.

The one-cent sales tax, approved by two-thirds of voters in 2022, was proposed as a new source of revenue for street maintenance, public safety services, and safe and clean public spaces like beaches and parks.

Measure S brought in $1.19 million in 2022-2023 and $5.08 million in 202324, and is projected to bring in $4.78 million by the end of the 2024-2025 fiscal year in July.

On May 7, the Solana Beach City Council reviewed a draft two-year budget projecting just over $5 million in Measure S revenues in each of the next two years.

City Manager Alyssa Muto said budget estimates for the next two years are more conservative and take into account the potential for an economic downturn.

“The budget will show as a balanced budget, and I want to note for the council and for the public, it does take into consideration a lot of uncertainties that exist right now in our world and in our country and in our state,” Muto said.

In the first two years of the tax, Measure S dollars have fully or partially funded various items such as a new fire truck, an electric vehicle for the Parks and Recreation Department, the Highland Drive median project, and various maintenance and replacement projects.

Looking ahead to other capital projects, the city is budgeting $4.5 million in 2025-26 and around $5 million in 2026-27. The council discussed many of these projects last month as part of the city’s 2025-26 work plan.

Nearly half of the capital project budget is being funded by Measure S dollars, including the following projects next year:

• $1.1 million annual pavement management (partially funded by Measure S);

• $900,000 for design and construction of the new Marine Safety Center at Fletcher Cove (all from Measure S);

• $500,000 for storm drain improvements (all from Measure S);

• $325,000 for repairs to the Rosa Street and Cliff Street pedestrian bridges (all from Measure S), and

• $140,000 for concrete repair at Fletcher Cove (all from Measure S).

The city will also transfer Measure S revenue into the Asset Replacement Fund, the Coastal Rail Trail Fund and the Capital Improvement Program Fund, to be used at a later date.

Other projects in 202526 include:

• $250,000 for interim improvements at 700 Stevens Avenue, where the city is planning an expansion of La Colonia Park (the city will also finish paying off its loan for the site next year);

• $225,000 for design and construction of the Coastal Rail Trail extension at the north end of the city;

• $300,000 for sanitary sewer pipeline rehabilitation;

• $100,000 for a microtransit electric shuttle, and

• $230,000 for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

“Theres a lot we’re able to get done … a lot of it is coming from Measure S,” said Mayor Lesa Heebner.

Councilmember Dave Zito said the city should also save for asset replacement and sewer projects with

funds outside of Measure S, not solely relying on Measure S revenue. He noted that the city used $1.5 million in Measure S funds to pay for a new fire truck last year.

“I was frustrated when we had to devote 100% for fire truck replacement, when we should be saving for fire trucks,” Zito said.

Muto said the city is still figuring out how best to allocate its sales tax revenue each year and has prioritized using Measure S money for projects to show residents how it is being used.

“We have plenty of money if we want to color that money [as] General Fund, but we have chosen to make it Measure S to show the taxpayer money being spent now instead of growing in reserve over the next couple years,” Muto said.

Zito also advocated for the city to start looking at unfunded work plan items that could be funded by Measure S dollars.

While there is a surplus now, leaders emphasized that it is still best to be conservative in case sales tax revenue drops.

“I’m very concerned about the uncertainty, in terms of our sales tax revenues and other sources.

Speaking to some of the shop owners on South Cedros, they’re already starting to see some of the tariffs being tagged on, and some of them are absorbing them now, but they can’t keep continuing to absorb them,” said Heebner.

The final two-year budget will return to the City Council for adoption on June 18.

Levin calls for security

Cameras, radar sought for coast

By City News Service

OCEANSIDE — Rep. Mike Levin called for increased federal funding on May 12 to create a surveillance system along San Diego’s coastline that would prevent smuggling events such as last week’s boat capsizing that claimed the lives of multiple undocumented migrants.

The North County Democratic congressman said he has requested $60 million to support a system of autonomous surveillance towers that would utilize cameras, radar and infrared technology to detect vessels such as the one that capsized off the coast of Del Mar.

A maritime smuggling event on May 5 led to the confirmed deaths of three people, including a 14-year-old boy.

The boy’s 10-year-old sister remains lost at sea and is presumed dead, and both children’s parents were among several migrants who were injured.

Five people are facing federal charges in San Diego for various alleged roles in the incident.

Another maritime smuggling mishap on Sunday morning saw a boat carrying multiple migrants wash up near Windansea Beach in La Jolla. Nine migrants were detained by Border Patrol officers in that incident.

As part of efforts to bolster security along the coast, Levin also called on his fellow congress members to support a bill expanding the depths into which law enforcement can patrol and overhauling the nation’s immigration system.

“You can’t just have security. You’ve got to have humanity as well,’’ Levin said. “If we’re going to deter people from wanting to take a panga boat, then we’re going to have to have orderly ways for people who want to get to the United States for the right reasons.’’

CHS grad to debut new indie film

‘Armada Dr’ gets June premiere at La Paloma Theatre

By Walker Armstrong CARLSBAD

— Carlsbad native Gavin Jaramillo is no stranger to the historic La Paloma Theatre.

Next month, the 20-year-old filmmaker will experience the iconic venue from a new perspective when his debut feature film, “Armada Dr,” premieres on the silver screen.

Shot entirely in Carlsbad and Encinitas, the film tells the story of Kevin, a young loner whose movie obsession deepens his isolation from family and friends.

Kevin’s relationship with a girl initially draws him out of his shell, but as the romance progresses, he’s confronted with old habits and new challenges.

“He’s almost so entranced in his films that he can’t even connect with anyone,” Jaramillo said. “It’s just him trying to cope with that realization that he is the problem and it’s not anyone else.”

Jaramillo, a Carlsbad High School graduate, drew inspiration for the film from personal experience.

“I did have a spell where I was going to the movies a lot,” he said. “It was a dark time in my life

where I got that idea from.”

With no prior filmmaking experience, Jaramillo took on the challenge of writing, directing and shooting the film himself, using his own home and La Paloma Theatre as key settings.

“I didn’t have the camera, I didn’t have connections, I didn’t have a mic

or a set or anything,” Jaramillo said. “I was initially writing the script just to write it. But then about halfway through, I realized I was writing stuff that was like from my own life and places that I can actually film at.”

To make the project happen, Jaramillo saved around $10,000 to pur-

chase equipment, the only significant expense of the production.

The cast, drawn from current students and alumni of Carlsbad High School, volunteered their time, and Jaramillo’s friends pitched in behind the scenes.

“Principal photography for the shoot was about two weeks on the dot, and it was every day from like seven to midnight,” Jaramillo said.

In addition to completing “Armada Dr,” Jaramillo co-founded Tanglewood Pictures, a small production company that creates original short films and recreations of iconic movie scenes for social media.

Through that venture, he has connected with other local filmmakers and worked on various projects, including serving as a camera operator.

Looking ahead, Jaramillo is writing his next feature film, which will focus on a mother-daughter relationship.

For now, though, his attention is on the June screening and sharing his first full-length film with the community.

“It was exhausting, but it was so fun, and it was really just an awesome time,” Jaramillo said of the production process.

The screening of “Armada Dr” will be at 7 p.m. on June 26 at La Paloma Theatre in Encinitas.

presented proclamations to the outgoing court, joined by a representative from County Supervisor Jim Desmond’s office. The Miss Escondido Pageant promotes mentorship and youth leadership by offering scholarships and community engagement opportunities to winners. The newly crowned court will represent Escondido at various events throughout the year.

County fills chief health role

By City News Service

REGION — County officials on May 12 named Dr. Sayone Thihalolipavan as its new public health officer, succeeding interim officer Dr. Ankita Kadakia as head of the county’s health services.

Thihalolipavan most recently worked as the public health medical officer within the county’s Medical Care Services Department.

“I am humbled and honored to have been trusted with this opportunity,’’ Thihalolipavan said.

Thihalolipavan, a board-certified physician in public health and preventive medicine, began his career in New York City as medical director of tobacco control and chronic disease prevention. He joined the San Diego County’s HHSA in 2015.

Supervisors OK senior apartments

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO — San

Diego County is moving ahead with plans to build multiple affordable housing developments on public land, including a 136-unit project in Escondido that will serve low-income seniors and formerly homeless veterans.

The county Board of Supervisors on May 7 unanimously approved agreements for the Escondido project at 620 E. Valley Parkway, a former parking lot that will be transformed into a four-story apartment complex.

The project, called Valley Creek Senior, will include 122 units for low-income seniors, 12 for formerly homeless senior veterans, and two units for onsite managers.

The development will also feature a 5,800-squarefoot childcare center open to the public.

“The goal is to make the childcare services free,” said John Seymour, vice president of acquisitions and forward planning for National Community Renaissance of California, one of the project’s developers, along with the San Diego Community Housing Corporation.

Ted Miyahara, president of the San Diego Community Housing Corporation, said the Escondido project “is the best use for the site,” adding that it would house “some of the region’s most vulnerable populations.”

The board also approved a separate 90-unit affordable housing project for seniors at 5202 University Ave. in San Diego, to be developed by the San Diego Housing Commission. Both locations are part of 11 county-owned surplus sites targeted for affordable housing.

“When the 11 sites are completed, they will provide nearly 1,800 homes for low-income San Diegans,” said David Estrella, director of the county’s Housing and Community Development Services.

Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer noted that the county may not receive credit for meeting its state-mandated regional housing needs allocation, since most projects are within city boundaries and not in unincorporated areas, where the county is required to build 6,700 homes between 2021 and 2029.

“Taking our county land resources and using it to build affordable housing

that, frankly, we don’t even get credit for – it’s the right thing to do,” Lawson-Remer said. “We made a commitment nearly four years ago to try to build nearly 10,000 units on public land, and I think we are well on our way.”

Supervisors Monica Montgomery-Steppe and Jim Desmond also praised the project. Desmond noted the partnership with the City of Escondido and said Mayor Dane White supported the effort. He called the pairing of housing and childcare “a wonderful combination.”

San Diego fights La Jolla secession

The San Diego City Council on May 12 authorized moving forward with litigation against the San Diego County Local Agency Formation Commission over its verification of signatures collected in a bid to have La Jolla secede from the city of San Diego.

Mayor Todd Gloria said the council had authorized the City Attorney’s Office to pursue legal action over LAFCO’s “objectionable handling of the signature-verification process’’ regarding a petition brought by the Association for the City of La Jolla The pro-cityhood group’s efforts were previously ruled insufficient by the San Diego County Registrar of Voters, which said some of the collected signatures were invalid.

LAFCO later allowed ACLJ extra time to correct the invalid signatures or gather new valid ones and following another signature drive, declared that a sufficient number of valid signatures had been collected.

The decision drew a strong response from Gloria, who in a statement late last month called it “outrageous’’ and said LAFCO permitted names that did not match addresses or other registered voter data.

“From the outset, I’ve made it clear that the city of San Diego has serious concerns about LAFCO’s exceptionally broad and questionable interpretations that led them to overturn the county registrar of voters’ official determination that the La Jolla secession petition was insufficient,’’ Gloria said Monday afternoon.

Encinitas weighs projects ahead of deadline

Council explores $7.25M for capital improvements

By Walker Armstrong

ENCINITAS — With $7.25 million on the table for capital projects and millions more under discussion, the Encinitas City Council convened a special meeting May 7 to weigh competing priorities ranging from a $500,000 storm drain fix on South Vulcan Avenue to $400,000 in planning for a new fire station in Leucadia.

The city’s Finance Director Tom Gallup said the meeting marked the third public workshop on the budget, which is scheduled for introduction on May 28 and adoption on June 18.

The staff presentation included updates to construction estimates, new project requests, and refined revenue projections.

City Manager Jennifer Campbell outlined several new funding requests, including $80,000 for a citywide permit parking software system, $50,000 for enhanced vegetation management in high firerisk areas, and $10,000 to supplement the city’s habitat stewardship contract for sensitive urban forest management.

Additional requests tied to fire safety included funding for citywide evac-

uation signage and $7,500 for printed public education materials. Altogether, the newly proposed operating requests totaled approximately $189,000, including $10,000 in capital expenses.

One major topic of discussion was an increase in funding for temporary Fire Station No. 1, which staff said will require an additional $85,000 this fiscal year.

This will reduce the amount available for appropriation in the upcoming fiscal year to $7.25 million.

The council also re-

viewed three engineering-related capital improvement proposals:

• $85,000 in improvements on Clark Avenue and Union Street, including upgraded pedestrian signals and signage.

• $500,000 for design-only work on storm drain infrastructure along South Vulcan Avenue.

• $400,000 for design and permitting work associated with a proposed temporary Fire Station No. 6, with locations under consideration at Leucadia Oaks Park or county-owned rural

residential floodplain land.

During council deliberation, several members strongly supported prioritizing drainage improvements citywide. Mayor Bruce Ehlers said the proposed $500,000 investment in the South Vulcan storm drain could reduce long-term maintenance costs and help prepare the city to compete for grants.

“It would be a huge improvement,” Ehlers said. “It would eliminate two pumps, one to two pumps out of our current mitigation plan, and that’s operational costs.”

Debate also emerged over a $140,000 proposal to hire a consultant to draft a historic context statement, guiding the formation of historic districts. Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes supported the item, calling it a first step toward enabling community-led preservation efforts.

“We are always looking for opportunities for how can we as your City Council get behind really good things, really smart things that would help to preserve our community character,” Lyndes said. “And over the last six months, staff has been working …to put forward some ideas about what the city itself can do to help bring forward historic preservation in our community.”

Councilmember Jim O’Hara questioned the study’s necessity, calling it “a nice to have, not a need to have.”

“(The) goal for this year should be to identify the things that are important to have over the things that are nice to have,” O’Hara said.

Other speakers emphasized safety-related spending. Council members also expressed support for adding two sheriff’s deputies focused on DUI and traffic enforcement.

Gallup confirmed the cost would decrease in future years as initial startup costs were phased out.

Several residents urged the council to invest in in-

frastructure and safety, and others requested an expanded law enforcement presence downtown to address crime and homelessness.

The council also discussed the potential reallocation of $1.72 million in general fund money currently set aside for the Santa Fe East corridor project. Staff said any redirection would depend on upcoming community feedback, a May 13 public meeting, and council direction.

Lyndes argued against redirecting the funds, citing students’ safety needs and the terms of an existing $680,000 active transportation grant.

“If we don’t move forward with that East project, then we are creating a gap,” Lyndes said. “And there’s not the continuity that the students and the children would be safe in.”

Council members did not take final votes during the workshop, but they used a shared budget calculator tool to preliminarily indicate support or opposition for each line item.

Ehlers said the city would carry a $500,000 unassigned general fund balance into the next budget cycle, with flexibility to restore additional items later using anticipated FEMA reimbursements or midyear budget savings.

“Hopefully we don’t have to dip into it, but if we do, it’s there,” Ehlers said.

CITY OF CARLSBAD Summary of Ordinance No. CS-493 per Government Code §36933(c)

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF AND APPROVING THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION’S SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS TO THE LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM (ZONING ORDINANCE) FOR ZCA 2020-0003/ LCPA 2020-0007

On Aug. 29, 2023, the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, adopted Ordinance CS457 approving new citywide objective design standards for multifamily housing and mixed-use development projects. The standards establish the minimum requirements for building design and layout of new multifamily and mixed-use projects proposed anywhere within the city except for the Village & Barrio Master Plan area. (Objective design standards for that area were developed, considered and approved by the City Council in a separate action.) The new design standards have been in e ect in areas outside the Coastal Zone since November 2023. For the standards to be applied in the Coastal Zone, which covers slightly more than two-thirds of the city, an amendment to the city’s Local Coastal Program, the planning document for the area, must rst be approved by the California Coastal Commission.

The city submitted its Local Coastal Program amendment to the California Coastal Commission for certi cation on Oct. 31, 2023. After review and consideration, the Coastal Commission approved the amendment on Feb. 6, 2025, with the following modi cations:

• Added language clarifying that development within the Coastal Zone shall comply with all applicable objective standards within the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program

• Added the latest City Council adoption date of the Multifamily Housing and MixedUse Development Objective Design Standards Manual (the “Design Manual”), to ensure the most current design manual is being implemented

• Added language clarifying that the Local Coastal Program’s objective standards shall prevail if in con ict with the standards listed in the accompanying Design Manual

• Added objective language to lighting requirements that provides stricter standards for projects adjacent to existing and proposed preserve areas within the Coastal Zone

• Added language to the de nition of “fully shielded” to make it consistent with other Coastal Commission lighting standards elsewhere If the City Council approves the Coastal Commission’s suggested modi cations, at the next regularly scheduled Coastal Commission hearing, the Executive Director of the Coastal Commission will report that the suggested modi cations have been implemented. The amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and Local Coastal Program amendments, as approved by Ordinance No. CS-457 and amended by the suggested modi cations, will become e ective immediately after the Executive Director’s report to the Coastal Commission.

A certi ed copy of the full text of the proposed ordinance is posted in the O ce of the City Clerk, 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, CA 92008.

Those standards have been in e ect since November 2023 for that portion of the Village & Barrio Master Plan area located outside the Coastal Zone, which is about three-quarters of the plan area. For the standards to be applied in that portion of the plan area located within the Coastal Zone, an amendment to the city’s Local Coastal Program must rst be approved by the California Coastal Commission. The city submitted its Local Coastal Program amendment to the California Coastal Commission for certi cation on Oct. 31, 2023.

The amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and Local Coastal Program amendments, as approved by Ordinance No. CS-458 and amended by the suggested modi cations, will become e ective immediately after the Executive Director’s report to the Coastal Commission.

O’side agrees to fly pride flag

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — The LGBTQ pride flag will fly at Oceanside City Hall throughout June after the City Council narrowly approved the move during a May 7 meeting.

The council voted 3-2 to fly the rainbow flag in recognition of LGBTQ Pride Month. The flag will hang below the city flag on one of three existing poles outside City Hall, which currently display the American flag, California state flag, Oceanside flag and POWMIA flag.

Mayor Esther Sanchez and Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce initially proposed purchasing a fourth flagpole for the pride flag but dropped the idea after hearing public concerns about spending taxpayer money. The additional pole would have cost the city an estimated $17,000.

“Raising the pride flag is something our community members have been asking for for many, many years, and this comes at a time when it couldn’t be more important to do it,” Joyce said. “It’s an import-

ant statement for us to say we support, affirm and appreciate all the members in our community.”

Joyce said the decision comes amid rising fears within the LGBTQ community about discrimination and bigotry.

Many public speakers supported the move, including Roxanne Deatherage, director of Oceanside’s annual Pride by the Beach festival, who praised the city’s message of inclusivity.

“This community has built a reputation that uplifts the LGBTQ people whether they live here or are just visiting,” she said. “To feel that is powerful, and it’s why people come to Pride by the Beach every year, and why raising the flag isn’t just a statement – it’s essential.”

While many voiced support, some residents opposed the action. Susan Custard said she was glad LGBTQ residents feel safe in Oceanside but didn’t believe a separate flag was necessary.

Escondido keeps battery ban

City to adopt safety standards for BESS facilities

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO —

The city will keep its moratorium on new battery energy storage facilities as it works to adopt new safety and workforce standards into its municipal code.

On May 7, the City Council voted to incorporate San Diego County’s recommended best practices for battery energy storage systems (BESS) into Escondido’s upcoming 2025 fire code update.

The council also directed staff to include workforce safety standards, requiring certified electricians — including C-10 licensed contractors — for all electrical work, and mandating that at least 15% of workers hold an ESAMTAC certification, a specialized safety credential.

“If we are going to be looking at battery storage in the city, we have to have the highest level of safety,” Councilmember Christian Garcia said.

Council opted not to rescind the urgency ordinance, which was enacted in October 2023 and pauses new BESS projects within city limits.

The ordinance remains in effect until Oct. 5, unless repealed sooner, and

will stay in place until the added requirements are formally adopted into law.

The county’s guidelines, which are expected to be finalized later this year, include requiring applicants to hire a fire protection engineer to conduct a technical risk study, maintain a minimum 100-foot setback from homes and wildland areas, and implement advanced fire, gas detection and explosion suppression systems. A third-party review of new technology and a hazard mitigation analysis would also be required.

Deputy Fire Marshal Koretke said the proposed rules also restrict the location of BESS projects based on population density and facility size.

In addition to safety measures, the council in-

structed staff to consider limiting the number of BESS projects in the city.

Mayor Dane White, who proposed a BESS cap, questioned the benefit of hosting multiple storage facilities if local residents don’t directly receive the power.

“If we’re not guaranteed any of the power, it doesn’t make sense to have 20 BESS,” White said.

Battery energy storage systems collect and store excess power from sources like solar energy and release it back to the grid when needed.

Greg Wade, CEO of the Clean Energy Alliance, which serves Escondido and other North County cities, said BESS plays a “vital role” in the region’s renewable energy future.

“Battery storage has to be part of our future,”

Wade said.

Concerns over BESS safety have grown following high-profile incidents, including a January fire at the Moss Landing facility in Monterey County that led to the evacuation of more than 1,200 people.

In Escondido, a September 2023 fire at a San Diego Gas & Electric battery facility forced evacuations and school closures, prompting air quality concerns.

Wade noted the SDG&E battery fire “performed as it should,” containing the incident to one of 24 canisters on site.

A week before that fire, the Escondido City Council passed a resolution opposing large-scale BESS facilities in or near the city in response to the proposed Seguro project by AES Corporation.

The project, planned for Eden Valley just outside Escondido city limits, would store 320 megawatts of energy — enough to power 240,000 homes for four hours — and connect to the regional grid via a new substation and transmission line.

Residents of Eden Valley, Harmony Grove, Elfin Forest, Escondido and San Marcos have strongly opposed the project.

“We are confident that the industry is moving in a direction that provides for public safety as well as vital energy storage needs,” he said.

Don’t

be afraid of SEO

By Rich Henrich

IFiles digital 101

n 2025, digital marketing is more essential than ever. Yet, many small businesses across North San Diego, CA continue to overlook or underinvest in SEO and online marketing strategies. Despite the increasing dependence on mobile search, AI-driven shopping, and local search trends, business owners often hesitate to embrace digital tactics that could drive long-term growth.

So, what’s holding them back?

1. Lack of Understanding: One of the most common reasons small businesses avoid SEO and digital marketing is a fundamental lack of understanding.

SEO still feels like a complex, technical concept. Business owners may not know what it entails or how it directly impacts their bottom line. Without a clear connection between SEO efforts and increased revenue, many choose to spend their limited budgets on more tangible, traditional efforts — such as print ads or word-of-mouth. Both are valuable but need to be considered in a comprehensive marketing and sales strategy.

2. Fear of Costs and ROI Uncertainty: Budget constraints are another major factor. Small businesses often work with tight margins, and SEO doesn’t always provide instant results. Compared to a paid ad that yields quick clicks, SEO and organic marketing feel like a long game — which they are.

This delayed gratification can make SEO seem like a risk instead of a smart investment. Without guidance, many business owners shy away from it entirely.

3. Overwhelming Choices and Misinformation: The digital marketing space is saturated with options — DIY tools, freelancers, agencies, and consultants all offering

Making more from your sales promotion

While advertising is usually closely managed, sales promotion programs are frequently treated as if they have no relationship to each other.

Companies making this crucial error aren’t using sales promotion as a strategic marketing tool. Here are a few insider tips to help you avoid this mistake:

• Have a plan: Don’t just wish to grow the company; you need a strategy, market insight, a realistic budget and the will to follow through.

• Better be creative: American adults are ex-

posed to 10,000 marketing messages daily. Better find a way to break through the clutter.

• Know your objective: “Boosting sales” isn’t a goal. “Selling 500 more units in 30 days” is.

• Know your audience: Don’t go after everyone with the same deal. Loyal buyers, hot prospects and tire kickers should all be handled differently.

• Better make sense: Countless sales promotions are cheap giveaways with no relationship to the brand they’re promoting. Ask a few trusted customers their thoughts about your idea be-

Seen It All

Police in Akron, Ohio, caught bodycam video of a bandit behind the wheel with a meth pipe in his mouth during a traffic stop on May 5.

But Chewy, the bandit in question, did not face arrest, because Chewy is a pet raccoon.

WLWT 5 reported that as the driver of the vehicle, Victoria Vidal, 55, was detained for having an active warrant and driving with a suspended license, officers returned to Vidal’s vehicle to find Chewy in the driver’s seat with the drug paraphernalia.

“While our officers are trained to expect the unexpected, finding a raccoon holding a meth pipe is a first!” the Springfield Township Police Department said in a Facebook post, adding, “No raccoons were hurt or injured in this incident.” [WLWT 5, 5/8/2025]

Sweet Tooth

Holly LaFavers of Lexington, Kentucky, tried to cancel an Amazon order placed by her second grader son, Liam, over the weekend, but it was too late; when the pair arrived home on May 5, WKYT reported, Liam yelled, “My suckers are here!” and LaFavers was greeted by 22 large cases of Dum-Dums lollipops lining her front porch.

Liam, who placed the order while entertaining himself with his mother’s phone, actually had ordered 30 cases — each containing 2,340 lollipops, for a total cost of more than $4,000 — but eight of the cases

“He told me that he wanted to have a carnival,” LaFavers said, “and he was ordering the Dum-Dums as prizes for his carnival.” Amazon fully refunded the order, and LaFavers vowed to change the access settings on her phone. [WKYT, 5/5/2025]

You Again?

Rescues are not uncommon on Mount Fuji, but one climber may have used up all the good will of the Shizouka prefectural police, who were called to save the man near the mountain’s peak twice in a span of four days.

The imprudent adventurer, a 27-year-old Chinese student living in Japan, began suffering from altitude sickness and was airlifted to safety after calling authorities on April 22; the Associated Press reported that he returned to the mountain on April 26 “to look for his cellphone and other belongings left behind,” according to police.

When another climber found him suffering altitude sickness and unable to move, authorities were called in to rescue him once again.

There is no penalty for climbing Mount Fuji during the offseason, and no charge associated with being rescued -- even twice in the same week. [The Associated Press, 4/28/2025]

A judge in London, England, recently awarded Lorna Rooke, former training and practice supervisor for the National Health Service’s Blood and Transplant division, a whopping $38,729 for being compared to Darth Vader, the Guardian reported on May 7.

In 2021, Rooke and her co-workers were asked to participate in a team-building exercise featuring a “Star Wars”-themed questionnaire that would reveal which character from the sci-fi fantasy franchise their personality most resembled.

Rooke didn’t participate but found out later that co-workers had filled it out for her, and the result came up Sith lord. Though the quiz described Vader as

Trouble Brewing

ChatGPT can perform many impressive tasks — sometimes with amusing results — but it may need to stay out of tasseography. Greek City Times reported on April 26 that a Greek woman recently filed for divorce from her husband after the OpenAI chatbot asserted that the man was having an affair and that his mistress was intent on destroying their home, a conclusion the bot came to upon “reading” the coffee grounds in the couple’s mugs in a photo the woman uploaded to the app.

“I laughed it off as nonsense,” the husband said, “but she took it seriously. She asked me to leave, told our kids we were getting divorced, and then I got a call from a lawyer. That’s when I realized this wasn’t just a phase.” The husband’s lawyer maintains that ChatGPT’s claims have no legal standing. [Greek City Times, 4/26/25]

SMUSD expands thriving language program

By Leo Place

SAN

MARCOS —

Six

years ago, a pioneering group of kindergartners became the first class to experience a new dual language program at Twin Oaks Elementary School, spending half the school day learning in English and the other half in Spanish.

Those original kindergartners are now getting ready to graduate from fifth grade, and the program has grown so that all grade levels are learning in dual-language classrooms. Posters, flashcards, and books in Spanish and English fill classrooms, morning announcements are made in both languages, and school staff speak to students in both languages.

Now, in the fall, the San Marcos Unified School District is expanding the program to Woodland Park Middle School. There, the original dual language class and the students after them can continue learning in an immersive dual language environment.

Students told the district board at its May 8 meeting that they consider bilingualism and biliteracy their superpowers.

will get the opportunity to learn in two languages at our school, because all kids deserve to have the new possibilities open to them like I did,” said fifth grader Audrey Black, who learned

Spanish for the first time at Twin Oaks. “It’s great that being bilingual and biliterate will allow me to help a lot more people.”

up in a Spanish-speaking home, said she enjoys learning various subjects in both languages.

“I am very proud of my school for having this program. When I am in Spanish class, I enjoy that everything is in Spanish and I can practice the language that I know,” Martinez said.

Multilingual and Multicultural Education Director Silvia Ventura-Jacobsen, the principal at Twin Oaks when the dual language program was first implemented, said it was always the plan to expand to Woodland Park.

This continuity will allow students to continue into high school for further Spanish study, where they can earn a California State Seal of Biliteracy on their diploma. It also lays a foundation for high school students pursuing the Translation and Interpretation Pathway.

Families from other feeder elementary schools for Woodland Park are also excited about the dual language opportunity.

“This is an incredible achievement and milestone which ensures continuity of dual language, strengthening student pathways to earning that prestigious California state seal of biliteracy and beyond,” Ventura-Jacobsen said.

In response to feedback from families over the years, Woodland will offer three options for students:

an immersive model with two classes in Spanish, the applied model with one class in Spanish, or only English-language classes.

Twin Oaks Principal Angelica Barragan-Su said the school’s program is built on three pillars — bilingualism and biliteracy, high academic achievement, and sociocultural competence.

Along with immersing non-Spanish speaking students in a new language, the curriculum allows newcomer students — those arriving from Spanish-speaking countries to U.S. schools for the first time — to continue learning in their native language.

ASL professor to coach US Deaflympics team

David Hamilton, Team USA going for gold in Tokyo

By Leo Place SAN MARCOS — Palomar College professor of American Sign Language

David Hamilton will travel to Tokyo this fall as head coach of the U.S. men’s basketball team for the 2025 Deaflympics, marking the latest chapter in his legendary basketball career.

A five-time gold medalist who played in his first Deaflympics at just 17, Hamilton was announced as the head coach for the 2025 team late last year. He is pursuing “nothing but the gold, period” for the team at this year’s games, which take place in Tokyo from Nov. 15-26.

The Lexington, Kentucky, native has loved basketball since he was a kid, when he watched his father, also Deaf, play at the park. By the time he was a high school junior, Hamilton was selected to play for the U.S. Deaf Basketball team in the 1981 Deaflympics in Cologne, Germany.

He went on to play again in Los Angeles in 1985, Bulgaria in 1993, Copenhagen in 1997 (where he was also

chosen to be the flagbearer), and Rome in 2001, with the team taking home the gold each time.

Hamilton then pivoted to coaching the U.S. men’s and women’s teams in 2005, and eventually stepped away from coaching for about a decade. However, he started getting the itch to return after watching the United States men’s basketball team secure victory at the

2024 Paris Olympic Games.

“This past summer, the hearing Olympics happened in Paris. Having watched that, it reignited my passion. Watching the U.S. team celebrate, I realized how much I missed that experience,” Hamilton said through an interpreter. “I’m very excited to be leading the team in Tokyo.”

Organized by the International Committee of

Sports for the Deaf, the Deaflympics is a top-tier athletic competition for premier deaf athletes around the world, occurring every four years. Prospective athletes must have a certain level of hearing loss in order to qualify.

In basketball, the only difference between a hearing and a deaf game is the use of visual cues in place of audio cues. Rather than a whistle, referees raise their hands, and the court utilizes flashing lights or flags instead of the buzzer.

Hamilton has always focused on bringing Deaf culture and Deaf basketball more into the public eye. The Deaf games are entirely separate from both the Paralympics and Special Olympics, and unlike those two events, they are not televised.

“Deaf athletes deserve the same notoriety as other athletes,” Hamilton said. “We feel like we’re kind of on a small island … one of my goals is to get the word out.”

As a teacher of 34 years, Hamilton said he sees students as touchpoints who can spread awareness about Deaf culture to hearing folks. He has taught American Sign Language and Deaf Studies at Palomar College since 2023, and said it is an institution that provides a lot of support.

Hamilton has multiple generations of deafness within his family, with it being genetic on his father’s side. His grandmother and father were deaf, while his mother was hearing. His siblings are also deaf, and one of his children is deaf while the other two are hearing.

Hamilton said he sees

deafness as something to be celebrated, not as something that holds him back.

“I love ASL, I love Deaf culture, and I love teaching these students,” Hamilton said. “There’s a stigma that lives these days about Deaf people. The reality is, Deaf people are happy, and they are happy to be Deaf.” With around five months to go until the Deaflympics, Hamilton is focused on raising funds and trying to secure a sponsor to support the team. The cost for each player to go is around $7,200. The team also has limited opportunities to get together and train, so Hamilton sends them a training plan and drills to do on their own. They are also planning to get together for a training camp in Las Vegas, and then they will have five days to train together in Tokyo before the games.

The U.S. men’s basketball team has won gold every year at the Deaflympics except 2021, when they were defeated by Ukraine. Hamilton is ready to see the U.S. take back the title this year.

“One of my biggest goals is to have the best prep we can have,” Hamilton said. “Seeing that gold on the wall is something we all want. That pride and accomplishment, it lasts a lifetime.”

Mission Hills frosh shows flair, poise on mound

Daxton

By Noah Perkins

In his varsity debut April

2 against Santa Fe Christian, Mission Hills freshman pitcher Daxton Hyde punched out the first batter, flashing an upper-80s fastball and a newly refined slider adapted from an inconsistent spike curveball that struggled to find the zone.

“I wasn’t too nervous,” Daxton Hyde reflected. “I didn’t have a good bullpen; I wasn’t throwing strikes. But, as soon as the game started, my stuff felt great.”

Two batters later, he got a proper welcome to varsity from Eagles sophomore catcher Kyle Plasman on a 3-0 fastball.

“I gave up a solo shot,” Daxton Hyde said. “When he was running the bases, I just told myself, ‘It’s fine.’ It’s one run. I took a breath and was like, ‘Let’s just get back to it.’”

Hyde retired the next batter and bounced back with a scoreless second. He gave up four earned runs in the third and then settled in to blanket the Eagles in the fourth, fifth and sixth, striking out seven.

“(Hyde) had one [tough] inning, but he got through it and then was able to give us six innings — a quality start,” said Mission Hills head coach Neil Jamison. “He was throwing the ball well enough and had confidence, which carried over to him being our starter every Saturday [during league play].”

As Hyde remained unruffled on the mound, his father Daniel, pastor at Oceanside United Reformed Church, wrestled with his own nerves from the stands.

“Every time he pitches, every single pitch, we’re on the edge of our seats — that’s how nerve-wracking it is,” Daniel Hyde said. “Every pitch matters, there’s so much pressure. But Daxton is stoic, very analytical. He’s a smart kid, thinks things through, and has a plan.”

Hyde’s athleticism extends beyond the diamond. Standing 6-foot-3, he also plays guard on the Mission Hills varsity basketball team.

“He’s already had the experiences — playoff games, rivalry games — at the varsity level,” Jamison said. “I think the challenges for Dax were more internal, more about managing expectations and outside voices than being intimidated. Part of it is dealing with failure and

learning to make adjustments, especially as a freshman competing against older, good teams.”

According to dad Daniel Hyde, intense driveway basketball games as the youngest of three boys and with his

older brother Cyprian — a 6-foot-11 Vista High alum who came off the bench for Virginia Military Institute this past season — played a key role in shaping Daxton’s competitive drive.

“Daxton grew up playing basketball and football as the smallest of the three boys,” Daniel Hyde said. “He got beat up, knocked around, and had to learn to be around older kids. That’s the benefit of being the third kid — he watched his brother develop into a Division I basketball player.”

United Reformed Church since 2000, described the Hyde family as one of “athletes and nerds.”

Daniel Hyde played basketball at Vanguard University (formerly Southern California College). Daxton Hyde’s mother, Karajean

ing through it,” Hyde said. “We’ve worked on keeping my wrist loose and making sure my direction is through home plate to get more spin and reduce the velocity, so hitters will swing at it.”

With the regular season ending on May 13 and CIF

“I’ve learned you’re going to face struggles and adversity, especially when you’re new to something — you just have to stay positive and work through it,” Daxton Hyde said. “I’ve always looked up to my brother and competing with him in the front yard really helped me develop that competitive mindset to just go out and compete, not overthink.”

Daniel Hyde, who has been with the Oceanside

Hyde, co-director of the UC Irvine Math Project, was a four-time academic All-American as a volleyball player for the Vanguard Lions.

“We view sports as a gift — God gave us bodies to honor Him through,” Daniel Hyde said. “It’s an opportunity to stand out, serve others, and make an impact, whether on the field or just playing with others. For us, it’s about using our gifts to love our neighbors and serve God.”

In four appearances as the Saturday starter for the Grizzlies (10-16, 5-6 Palomar), Daxton Hyde holds an earned run average (ERA) of 6.15. He has struck out 14 batters in 13.2 innings pitched.

Hyde picked up his first varsity win against Sage Creek on April 26.

“He came in throwing a spike curveball, but it wasn’t consistent with strikes. We switched his grip halfway through winter ball, and he quickly adapted to a slider I used to throw,” Jamison said. “Long-term, I think his fastball-slider combo, with a developing changeup, will make him a strong pitcher.”

“My changeup has really good movement, but I’ve struggled with throwing it too hard and not stay-

section playoffs kicking off on May 20, Hyde may have already thrown his final pitch of the season.

Regarded as a Major League Baseball prospect, those around him see this season as a stepping stone in his development.

“I think the end goal for him is definitely professional baseball, and he has the ability to get there,” Jamison said. “He’s an incredibly hard worker, focused on all aspects — from the mental side to biomechanics — and he’s rigid with his routines.”

Jamison said that Hyde’s athleticism, quick arm, solid frame, and strong work ethic provide plenty of upside, provided he remains healthy.

Last week, Hyde was named to this year’s Shooter’s Follow List, a list of more than 100 rising prospects compiled by former MLB pitcher Shooter Hunt, vice president of scouting at Prep Baseball Report.

For Hyde, he remains focused on his passion, with the aim of eventually playing professional baseball.

“My dream is to get drafted out of high school and go straight to the MLB to pitch,” Hyde said. “Even if that doesn’t happen, I plan to play at a high-level college and pursue a professional career.”

Morgan invests in Wave

By City News Service

SAN

DIEGO

— Less than a year after hanging up her boots and stepping away from professional soccer, two-time World Cup champion Alex Morgan returned to San Diego Wave FC this week — this time as an investor.

The Wave and the Leichtman-Levine Family announced Tuesday that former club captain Morgan has joined the team's ownership as a minority investor.

“San Diego is where I've built my home, where I am raising my children, and found a purpose beyond my playing career,'' Morgan said. “I believed in Wave FC before a single match was played, and I still believe this club has the power to change the future of women's sports. I'm proud to invest in that future and not just as a player, but now as an investor.''

She was one of the first players signed to the squad, which made its debut in 2021. Morgan scored the Wave's first goal and led the team to consecutive playoff berths.

Morgan ended her career that included helping the U.S. women's national team to two FIFA Women's World Cup championships and an Olympic gold medal by playing the first 15 minutes of the San Diego Wave FC's 4-1 loss to the North Carolina Courage at Snapdragon Stadium on

Sept. 8, 2024.

Morgan removed her boots at midfield, hugged all her teammates, waved in tears and walked off in her socks as the crowd announced at 26,516 chanted her name.

Morgan, an Encinitas resident, will now join Wave FC's new controlling owners, the Leichtman-Levine family.

“Alex has always fought to positively impact this game beyond the pitch,'' said Lauren Leichtman, controlling owner of the club. “She used her platform to lead, to advocate, and to build something meaningful in San Diego. Her decision to invest is

not only a continuation of her leadership but also a reflection of her belief in what we are building.''

Morgan remains the Wave's all-time leading scorer and assist leader, with 28 goals and 11 assists. In the club's inaugural season, she won the National Women's Soccer League Golden Boot with 16 goals, leading San Diego to become the first expansion team in NWSL history to qualify for the playoffs.

In 2023, the former captain helped guide the Wave to its first-ever trophy, lifting the NWSL Shield in front of a record-breaking home crowd at Snapdragon Stadium.

uity California), Mitchell J. Architecture, Inc., and Qualtek Wireless.

“We’ve got a case where the defendants are pointing the finger at each other,” said David Peck, attorney for Chereskin. “We don’t care who steps up, but somebody has got to take responsibility.”

Peck, a lawyer at Coast Law Group in Encinitas, said he intends to soon begin taking depositions in anticipation for trial.

The plaintiffs allege negligence in the planning, execution, and oversight of the trenching project, and claims the defendants failed to properly warn the public or secure the work site. They are seeking unspecified damages for medical costs, pain and suffering, and other losses.

The incident occurred in a residential stretch of Hymettus Avenue where trench work was being performed in the southbound bicycle lane.

The plaintiffs argue that the dangerous condition posed a foreseeable risk to cyclists and motorists alike.

In a cross-complaint filed in response to the lawsuit, the City of Encinitas denies liability and asserts that responsibility for any injuries lies with the contractors, Ubiquity California and Mitchell J. Architecture, Inc., citing provisions in the utility permit issued to Mitchell on Jan. 26, 2023.

According to the city, the permit — which remained in effect at the time of the crash — required the contractors to maintain safe traffic conditions, properly backfill trenches, and leave roadways clear of obstructions after each workday.

The permit also includes an indemnification clause holding the city harmless for any liabilities arising from the contractors’ work.

“There are indemnity agreements by the contractors,” Peck said. “So, we support the city’s efforts to hold the responsible party accountable.”

Peck said the Chereskins remain open to settlement negotiations as the legal process unfolds.

The city alleges that Ubiquity served as the project owner and oversaw the work, while Mitchell

was responsible for traffic control and trench maintenance. The cross-complaint claims that failure by the contractors to meet these obligations created a hazard that led to Chereskin’s injuries.

“Cross-defendants failed to properly backfill a trench or otherwise clear the Subject Roadway from obstruction,” the cross-complaint states. “Such failure resulted in a potential risk to public safety and allegedly caused injury to Mr. Chereskin.”

The city did not provide comment on the litigation.

No trial date has been set in the case.

The solo bike crash that injured Chereskin comes amidst an ongoing citywide debate over cycling safety among residents, cycling safety advocates and public officials.

4. Lack of Time and Resources: Running a small business is time-consuming. Owners often wear multiple hats and don’t have the bandwidth to manage SEO strategies, analyze data, or update their website regularly. Even if they want to invest in digital marketing, they may not know where to start or whom to trust.

The best marketing teams focus on simplifying the process, educating clients on what SEO is, how it works, and how it directly benefits their business. Through strategy sessions and clear reporting, they translate complex metrics into actionable insights.

Tailored Local Strategies: Instead of one-sizefits-all plans, effective digital marketers use hyper-local SEO to serve the unique needs of communities in North County. They understand the competition, local search behavior, and customer intent— whether it’s optimizing for a “Carlsbad surf shop” or

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“When you give your body proper nutrition, it affects your overall health and boosts your immunity, so you don’t get sick. The same is true for plants and trees.” Bowman feeds complete “nutrition delivery biology” derived from earthworm castings to replenish the missing healthy soil biology.

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

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

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

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

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