Nathan Fletcher resigns Ex-supervisor apologizes but denies crimes

By Steve Puterski

REGION — Supervisor

Nathan Fletcher has officially stepped down from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

In his first public statement in weeks, Fletcher announced his resignation on May 15 from his District 4 seat on the board and addressed the allegations by former San Diego Metropolitan Transit System employee Grecia Figeroua.

“I own, unequivocally, the responsibility for making the mistake of engaging in consensual interactions with someone outside of my marriage,” he said in a statement to constituents Monday. “And while I strenuously deny the allegations you have no doubt heard levied against me, I apologize for letting down so many people important to me — my family, staff, constituents, supporters, and friends.

“I failed to live up to the standards I expect of myself, and those which are rightly demanded of our elected officials,” Fletcher said.

In a lawsuit, Figueroa, 34, claims Fletcher, then chairman of the MTS board of directors,

Enjoy Weekly FREE Jazz Concert by the Sea

Are you ready to enjoy some of the best jazz in Southern California? Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong. Every Sunday afternoon on the glorious ocean view campus at St. Michael’s by-the-Sea, Jazz Evensong takes a page from the American Songbook of Jazz and brings it to the community, free of charge.

According to Father Doran Stambaugh, “Jazz Evensong is yet one more in a long list of unexpected blessings that emerged from the pandemic, when gathering outdoors was required. The purpose of St. Michael’s Jazz Evensong was not for jazz to bring people to church, but for the church to bring jazz to the people!”

Jazz Evensong is held every Sunday at 4pm. This free event is for the entire community. Bring a picnic dinner, low back chair, or blanket; let the kids enjoy the spacious playground. Even the pickleball court is available for some afternoon fun.

The 90-minute program is from 4:00pm to 5:30pm and begins with jazz music followed by short prayers, psalms and canticles with songs between each reading. These gatherings are a unique blend of exceptional jazz rooted in the context of Anglican meditation and prayer.

“It is such a joy to sit on the lawn as the sun sets, and listen to the music, and be still,” Father Doran said.

The five-piece ensemble includes local favorites Gunnar Biggs on bass, Keith Bishop on saxophone, Joey Carano on guitar, Leonard Thompson on keys, and Bob Weller on drums.

Jazz Evensong is a wonderful opportunity to soak up the inspirational joy of jazz in a peaceful environment and get the week started on a transcendent note. Dig it!

FUN FACT: St. Michael’s By-the-Sea Episcopal Church is the oldest church in Carlsbad. The historic chapel, built in 1894, is still in use for services. You owe it to yourself to visit this iconic Carlsbad Village location and see what it is all about.

Solana Beach submits revised housing element to state

By Laura Place SOLANA BEACH —

After two years of revisions to bring the city’s 6th cycle housing element into compliance with state guidelines, the Solana Beach City Council has re-submitted the document in hopes of earning final certification.

Solana Beach is one of several cities that has been communicating back and forth with state housing officials regarding its housing element, which cities are required to update every eight years with their plans to implement and support new housing.

The city submitted the first draft of its element to the state Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) in early 2021, and since then, has received several rounds of feedback regarding needed clarifications.

HCD officials finally granted conditional approval in April, pending final adoption by the City Council, which members gave wholeheartedly at a May 10 meeting. The Del Mar City Council also submitted its housing element last month.

“I’m glad that we’ve been able to get to the point where we’re at, and looking forward to getting an approved housing element by the state,” said Solana Beach Councilmember Dave Zito, who thanked staff for all their efforts. “You’ve been working nonstop on this for four years now.”

Solana Beach is obligated to construct 875 units for the cycle period ending in 2029, including 474 units designated for income levels ranging from very low to extremely low.

The city has so far approved entitlements for 152 units that will be counted toward their housing requirements, the majority for moderate to

above-moderate income levels.

Due to a lack of vacant land in Solana Beach, city

leaders are counting on mixed-use developments to supply many of the needed units.

One example is the Solana 101 project at Coast Highway 101 and Dahlia Drive, which will offer 25 residential units along with office and retail space when it is completed later this year.

“Since we are predominantly non-vacant sites, that’s how we’re addressing our housing element,” Community Development Director Joseph Lim said.

Another 62 of the approved units will come from the Solana Highlands renovation project, which also includes 32 low-income units.

The rest are from smaller developments including new single-family homes and accessory dwelling units, or ADUs.

Solana Beach initially pushed back against the assigned number of units from the Regional Housing Needs Allocation, joining

three other cities in a lawsuit arguing that the San Diego Association of Governments had issued allocations inequitably.

However, city officials have since accepted this obligation since the suit was dismissed in 2021.

“This city and this

current council still is not happy about the way that process worked,” Zito said. “We vigorously opposed the RHNA number that we got because we didn’t think it was reasonable or equitable in the region, but we also know what our duty is, and we’ve done a very good job with respect to making sure we’re meeting that number.”

Lim said the major revisions from HCD focused on site suitability, with the city submitting more details regarding how they planned to implement housing in commercial areas.

He also shared a positive update regarding Solana Beach’s progress with ADU construction.

The city has received around 100 ADU applications in the last three and a half years, 62 of which have been granted permits, putting the city well on their way to meeting their goal of 128 new ADUs by 2029.

“We are far exceeding the estimate,” Lim said.

The council kept its discussion of the revisions brief, eager to have it off the city’s plate.

“We’re ready to vote for this, send it off to HCD, get it certified,” said Mayor Lesa Heebner.

How much are you carrying?

By Bryan Golden

You wouldn’t be able to lift a 55-gallon drum filled with water. Although you could easily pick up a cleaning bucket filled with water, you wouldn’t want to hold it for a long time. If you tried, it would feel as if it were getting heavier rather quickly. Holding a cup filled with water is a cinch. Anyone can do it. But how long can you hold it for? The longer it’s held, the heavier it seems. At some point in time, you would need to put it down.

Just as a seemingly light object becomes heavier the longer it’s held, so do the burdens you carry around with you on a constant basis. An issue that initially appears minor grows in significance the longer you hold on to it.

The weight increases steadily as you clutch on to numerous concerns. You become bogged down even faster with the cumulative mass of your collected burdens. Your stress level rises while your energy and enthusiasm drops. Because the

progression is gradual, it’s not readily noticeable until it starts to become overwhelming.

Every time you pick up a minor burden it appears to be no big deal. It gets added to your load without much thought. Since the mental weight increases gradually, you adjust to it and incrementally adjust to the growing load.

Each issue alone may

details fade, leaving behind only emotions or bad feelings. You become weighed down by accumulated mental debris that is no longer identifiable.

Worry makes things worse. It intensifies whatever you are carrying. Worry drains your energy without accomplishing a thing. Worry doesn’t help you in any way. There is not one good reason to accumulate mental issues. It’s a bad habit that needs to be corrected as soon as possible. To accomplish this, you must change your approach.

Let’s consider an alternative scenario. Each time you pick up a small burden you let it go rather than carrying it. It’s that simple. With this approach your burden never grows. This works because there’s no point dragging problems around with you.

Here’s how you deal with new issues. For each, ask yourself the following questions: Does this really matter? If not, let it go. Is this worth my energy? If not, let it go. Do I have any control over the issue? If not, let it go. If yes, take the appropriate action and then let it go.

In California’s 172 years as an American state, relations between its government and the more than 400 cities within state boundaries have never been as contested and hostile and litigated as now.

Dozens of cities in most parts of the state are out of compliance today with a 1960s-era law signed by then-Gov. Ronald Reagan requiring them to file housing plans every eight years with the state’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), which can reject any blueprint it does not like.

Meanwhile, the state is trying to use the longstanding law to force construction of dense new housing everywhere, no matter how it might change the nature of any community.

In places that have either filed no plans or had them disapproved and missed deadlines for revisions, developers can use a previously obscure and unused provision of the old law known as the “builders’ remedy” to build even where cities have previously stopped them, so long as they include enough low-income or affordable units.

What’s affordable or low-income varies by location.

All this appears to some to conflict with the concept of a charter city — and more than one-fourth of California’s cities have charters. State law gives charter cities “the power to make and enforce all laws and regulations in respect to municipal affairs, subject only to such restrictions and limitations as may be provided in…the (state) Constitution.”

But both Gov. Gavin Newsom and his handpicked state attorney general, Rob Bonta, say statewide law overrides city charters, letting legislators mandate whatever they wish wherever they wish.

capitalist Tim Draper (an early investor in outfits from Skype to Hotmail and Tesla) and politicians like former gubernatorial candidates Meg Whitman, a Republican, and Steve Westly, a Democrat.

With just over 7,000 residents, Atherton has been told by the state to allow almost 350 new housing units by the end of this decade. Curry objected to one proposed new development, and city officials at one point suggested the city could meet its quotas if every property owner added an additional dwelling unit (known as ADUs or granny flats).

Residents at one town council meeting told elected officials they want their officials to be more aggressive in fighting off the state. “If you’re not comfortable fighting for us, then you should step down,” said one.

Huntington Beach residents and officials take a similar attitude, despite being Bonta’s first and best-publicized target, with millions of dollars in state grants at risk in their defiance.

“We have no problem doing our fair share, but with fair numbers,” Mayor Pro Tem Gracey Van Der Mark said during a public meeting. “I do not believe the benefits of building outweigh the consequences of destroying our city.” It’s not actual destruction of any city that’s in prospect, merely destruction of the ambiance in some places.

be relatively insignificant. Even though you may not be consciously aware of its presence, you are still affected subconsciously. Since the weight you are carrying rises so gradually, you accept the increasing burden as normal and tolerable.

As such, you don’t readily perceive the incremental additions to your stress level. Although you may feel anxious, more irritable, less energetic and less patient, there is no one obvious culprit you can identify. This fact further compounds your frustration.

Over time, you forget exactly why you are carrying many of the burdens. The

Also, stop worrying. It’s OK to be concerned and take action when and where appropriate. When you let your burdens drop, it’s easier to release the accompanying worries as well. Constant worrying is deleterious to your mental and physical well-being. Furthermore, it causes you to hang on to those very things you should be letting go of.

Stay vigilant. Be aware of what you are picking up. It’s too easy to revert to your old pattern. As you empty your mental load, you’ll feel lighter. You will quickly realize how pointless it is to pick things up in the first place.

Today’s focal points in this classic conflict are two very dissimilar cities, one in coastal Orange County and the other on the San Francisco Peninsula — Huntington Beach (sometimes known as “Surf City”) and Atherton, usually listed as the wealthiest city in America.

It would be hard to find places more different in many ways than these two. Huntington Beach, besides its surfing orientation, hosted some of the first and largest anti-masking and anti-vaccine rallies of the coronavirus pandemic period.

Atherton features stately residences, most on lots of one acre or more, and has been home to the likes of athletes from Y.A. Tittle to Stephen Curry, financiers like venture

Numbers are key here. The state uses quotas generated by HCD, whose estimates of the state’s housing need have never accounted for homes vacated by the hundreds of thousands of Californians who moved elsewhere in the last six years, costing this state one seat in Congress.

Housing need estimates have varied widely since 2017, from 3.5 million in 2018 to 1.8 million more recently.

Nor, according to a 2022 state auditor’s report, has HCD properly vetted documents on which it bases its estimates.

Both Bonta and Newsom ignore the varying estimates and the city charter issue.

Which leaves the entire matter far from decided, no matter what state officials may claim at any given moment.

Encinitas picks Youth Commission

By Kaila Mellos ENCINITAS

— The Encinitas City Council on May 10 appointed new Youth Commission members and approved mosaic designs for the El Portal Undercrossing.

Every year, the city searches to fill nine seats on the Youth Commission reserved for adolescents from grades 7-12.

The recruitment process included advertising on the city website and social media pages.

This year’s search drew 11 applicants, a combination of new and familiar faces to the Youth Commission.

Each applicant gave a speech to City Council before making a final decision. Starting July 1, the newest Youth Commission members are Sarah Charles, Quade Kelley, Benjamin Su, Harrison Kessler, and Willem Ryan, along with returning members David Leschensky, Carter Ballow, Colin Ballow, and Sofia Gonzalez.

The current Youth Commission members’ terms end on June 3.

Along with the appointments, Campana Studios gave a brief presentation on mosaic designs for the El Portal Undercrossings by students at Paul Ecke Central School.

The project was appropriated $129,800 and approved in June 2021, including artist fees of $115,000 and a contingency of $14,800. An additional $20,000 for the future installation of the artwork was approved in October 2022. Further bids are being asked to help further cover the installation cost.

Campana Studios was awarded this project in the fall of 2022. Since then, the nonprofit organization has worked with students on creating personalized mosaic designs using recycled materials, such as broken plates and shells.

Led by local artist Jerm Wright, the school is designing and fabricating around 300 feet of tile mosaics for 17 panels, a 6-inch tile ribbon, and two cairns at the El Portal Undercrossing.

Each design is inspired by a specific piece of Encinitas history, including a Rancho Coastal view of Leucadia, Roy’s Market, and the Flower Festival Parade from the ’60s and ’70s.

“We were very aware that we can’t have words in this project, so we really tried to make, especially when we got to the cityscape, the iconic architecture of the area, and the history of Encinitas,” Wright said.

City Council approved the designs and a motion to create a documentary to memorialize the artwork and installation process.

Service dogs, handlers complete O’side training

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— After two weeks spent bonding and learning special commands, 12 service dogs and their new handlers went home together after graduating from an Oceanside service animal training center.

The dogs and their new handlers were matched through Canine Companions, a nationwide nonprofit organization providing highly-trained service dogs to adults, children and veterans with disabilities and facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice and educational settings.

Canine Companions is divided into six regions, each complete with its own training center. The training site for the Southwest Region — covering Southern California, Southern Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Hawaii — is located at 124 Rancho Del Oro Drive in Oceanside.

The Southwest Region’s graduation was held on May 12 at North Coast Church in Vista.

The Oceanside campus is known as the Dean, Gerda and Trixie Koontz Campus after its benefactors, which includes bestselling author Dean Koontz, his wife and their late golden retriever who was originally adopted from the organization after retiring as a service animal.

Prior to graduation, service animals are raised by volunteers until they are almost 2 years old. In that time, the dogs are trained by Canine Companions’ professionals before they are matched with a handler.

Canine Companions holds four graduations each year for its matched service dogs and their handlers. At the Southwest’s most recent graduation, an additional 37 puppies moved up to the “college” stage where they will be trained before being matched.

“For the last year and a half, puppy raisers have socialized the puppies, taught them obedience skills, and

arranged and paid for all of their care,” said Puppy Program Manager Becky Hein.

Once matches are made, the handlers go to their regional training centers where they work with their new service dogs for two weeks, learning all 45 of their commands. At the same time, the dogs adapt to their new handlers’ individual needs.

The 12 recipients traveled from all over the Southwest Region to Oceanside where they met and trained together with their new service dogs.

Lyena Strelkoff from Granada Hills in Los Angeles County was matched with Grant, a labrador and golden retriever mix.

Grant came from one of 250 puppy raisers in the Southwest Region. Many other service dogs like him, including his fellow graduates, will go on to children and adults alike.

Grant is Strelkoff’s second service dog through Canine Companions. After suffering a spinal cord injury in a hiking accident, she began considering getting a service dog to help her out.

“I knew really nothing about getting a service dog,” she said.

Strelkoff chose Canine Companions because of how the organization maintains ties to its handlers even after graduation.

Latest SANDAG audit shows contract issues

By Steve Puterski REGION

— A scathing follow-up report recently issued by SANDAG’s independent auditor calls for further investigations into the agency’s contracts and procurements based on high contract awards due to non-competitive procurements, inadequate internal controls and a reported lack of cooperation from executive leadership.

The Office of the Independent Performance Auditor’s report, released on May 5 to SANDAG’s audit committee, shows a review of contracts from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2021.

The report identifies “weakness in system controls, such as missing information, signatures, itemized breakdowns, little documentation and a lack of oversight.”

“...Auditors attributed findings due to poor planning and too vague or generalized contract language that allowed for varying levels of interpretation and manipulation contributing to numerous amendments,” the independent auditor wrote in the May 5 report.

But the investigation, led by outgoing Independent Performance Auditor Mary Khoshmashrab, was reportedly hindered by SANDAG’s executive team in securing specific contracts.

er of records but missing from the OneSolution system reports.

The report further identified 36 task orders (out of 46) required for competing vendors were not properly completed, lacking sole source justification.

The report also states the SANDAG board weakened internal controls due to excessively delegating oversight authority to staff, along with executive leadership’s retroactive procurements to pay for unauthorized work.

The findings also show SANDAG awarded third-party contracts for services that could have been performed by in-house staff, including 21 contracts for human resources and 93 contracts for the Office of the General Counsel — a combined total of more than $44 million.

“If you need additional training support, if your dog gets sick and you don’t know what to do or you get conflicting information from vets, they’ll help you through it,” she said. “I knew I wanted to be part of that community.”

Strelkoff, who uses a wheelchair, particularly needed help with laundry. Grant’s training was extended his training to include picking up laundry piles and dumping them into a basket.

While Grant relies on a few different commands to do the laundry for now, including the “pick-up,” “retrieve” and “tug” commands, he will eventually rely on one “cleanup” command prompting him to dump an entire pile of laundry into a basket and take it to the laundry room on the other side of Strelkoff’s home.

“Their commands are tailored to our very specific needs,” she said.

Strelkoff wants others to know how Canine Companions has changed her life for the better.

“The care they put into these dogs, the love, the impeccable training, their care and love for every recipient, their unbelievable skill at matching the right dog for you… they are an extraordinary organization,” she said. “These dogs have changed my life.”

“However, during this review, some members of management did impede the auditor’s ability to obtain information by refusing to provide OIPA (Office of the Independent Performance Auditor) with unlimited, unrestricted access, stating concerns of confidentiality,” the report states.

The report found no indication of intentional wrongdoing or fraud by agency staff.

SANDAG CEO Hasan Ikhrata disputed the report’s claims and other findings, saying executive management “fully cooperated” with the internal review.

“After receiving the draft report, management was concerned when it learned that certain records could not be found,” Ikhrata said, noting staff agreed with all findings from the first part of the audit. “Management has since verified the existence of most of the ‘missing’ documents and welcomes the opportunity to provide copies to the OIPA and Board (sic).”

Missing invoices

The report found contracts had incomplete documentation and missing invoices. Out of 15 contracts, 27 digital invoices totaling more than $272,000 were missing from the official folder of records. The invoices were later found in the agency’s financial system (OneSolution) reports. Auditors also found 21 digital invoices totaling $311,933 in the official fold-

“The GAO’s Opportunities for Oversight and Improved Use of Taxpayer Funds Testimony document states, ‘that no government should waste its taxpayers’ money, whether we are operating during a period of budget surpluses or deficits,’” the auditor wrote. “Further, it is important for everyone to recognize that waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement are not victimless activities. Resources are not unlimited, and when they are diverted for inappropriate, illegal, inefficient, or ineffective purposes, both taxpayers and legitimate program beneficiaries are cheated.”

Equestrian group prepares Horsepark for reopening

that it would be reopened,” he said.

Harvey, CEO of West Palm Events, also had a somewhat roundabout journey to the role of the horse park general manager.

By Laura Place

DEL MAR — Top-tier equestrian shows will return to the Del Mar Horsepark in July following nearly three years of inactivity at the iconic property, with various renovations underway by the park’s new operator.

Horse Shows in the Sun, or HITS, the equestrian events management company overseeing the horse park, will kick off the summer season on July 12 and hold a grand reopening ceremony on July 15, with eleven total shows planned through December.

After canceling the park’s summer 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 22nd District Agricultural Association stunned the equestrian community in January 2021 by officially discontinuing equestrian events due to concerns about the cost of state-required water maintenance.

HITS was selected in June 2022 to manage the property and oversee needed water infrastructure improvements to allow for its reopening.

Since then, the company has been fulfilling a series of improvements, including a new water drainage system, state-of-the-art footing in show arenas, larger stalls, new VIP seating, a new cafe and restaurant and updated restrooms.

“It’s truly one of the iconic properties in all of equestrian sport, and we’re really very pleased that we

had the opportunity to take some of the tarnish off the old girl and really shine her off,” said Peter Englehart, CEO of Horse Shows in the Sun.

Del Mar Horsepark general manager Dale Harvey said many areas of the park were in major need of repair, leading to approximately $10 million in renovations so far. This included replacing nearly all the fencing and updating all the electricity onsite.

“It’s over 40 years old, then you add in the fact that it was essentially closed down for almost three

years,” Harvey said. "It’s taken a huge effort and was way more intensive than we thought it was gonna be."

Water infrastructure changes at the site have been critical to its ability to reopen and served as a requirement of HITS’s lease to operate the park. HITS has implemented around $8 million in stormwater quality improvements, including water quality basins, drainage diversions and bioretention and infiltration plans.

According to Harvey, the company has had to work alongside both an environmental consultant and

the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board to ensure everything is up to par. At this point, he said, construction is on track, and the park should be able to open as scheduled. All eleven shows scheduled for 2023 will take place on the uncovered grass and sand arenas, while the covered arena will be used as a warmup area. During the second phase of repairs starting in November, HITS will begin enhancements to the covered arena to make it into a world-class stadium environment.

When horses begin returning to the park on July 10, they will enjoy larger stalls with rubberized floor mats and new doors, something Harvey said will greatly enhance the animals’ comfort and safety.

Harvey said he is excited to see the park reopening, as someone who was a shower and trainer at the property in years past.

“I used to be here as a trainer and I was showing here myself until it closed. Once I got into show production and management, I produced a lot of shows here. It was always dear to my heart

West Palms Events was originally selected to manage the park in early 2022 but backed out due to failed contract negotiations. After HITS was chosen as the new lessee months later, the company then contracted Harvey to serve as the manager of the horse park.

Del Mar Horsepark leaders are expecting the renovated site to bring an additional $50-$60 million into the region annually, and this season will offer a total prize purse of $1.3 million — the highest in the park’s four-decade history, according to Englehart.

“We’re gonna have a lot of people coming to Del Mar this summer,” said Englehart. “We’re really positioning it as a premium property in the equestrian world.”

Leaders of the organization Friends of the Del Mar Horsepark, which worked hard to keep the park from closing permanently, also expressed excitement about the reopening.

“Friends of Del Mar Horsepark congratulates HITS SHOWS LLC for stepping up to restore our community treasure,” co-founders Carla Echols-Hayes and Laura DeMarco said in a statement.

The grand reopening event will take place at 4 p.m. on June 15 and will include food, beverages, a dog agility performance and the Grand Prix jumping final, followed by live music. For more information, visit hitsdelmar.com.

Oceanside OKs senior housing project on Vista Way

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— The Planning Commission this month approved an 18-unit senior housing project on Vista Way that has some neighbors concerned about traffic safety.

Planning commissioners on May 8 unanimously approved the Vista Way Senior Housing project, which will take over 1.97 acres of vacant land at 3710 Vista Way on the north side of the road between Buena Hills Drive and North Way.

The project includes

12 single-story, single-family residences and two single-story triplexes all age-restricted for ages 55 and older.

The property was previously developed with 20 homes as part of the Costa Serena development, but the city acquired the land around 1995 to accommodate the realignment and widening of Vista Way. The portion that was not used as part of the Vista Way improvements was declared surplus city property in 2003, and in 2019 the land was sold to project applicant Reza Shera.

The project invokes the state’s density bonus law with 15% of the homes set aside as affordable housing and could provide up to 26 units. However, instead of asking for additional units, the applicant is only asking for certain development standard waivers, which include limiting garage parking to one car, less open space, reduced setbacks and a higher retaining wall.

Each unit will get a onecar garage space and a nearby surface parking space. Parking will also include six guest spaces.

A few commissioners and nearby residents shared

concerns about entering and exiting the proposed project, especially when making lefthand turns from the project onto Vista Way.

“It seems like a dicey move there,” said Chair Tom Rosales.

City Planner Sergio Madera said the exit will only allow residents to make a right-hand turn onto Vista Way. He also said a traffic signal is not feasible due to its proximity to North Way and the small number of vehicle trips the project will generate.

Rosales said that residents make left-hand turns at nearby locations that also have the same restriction.

Buena Hills Drive res-

ident Christopher Nodine said he was concerned about the project’s residences being level with Vista Way. Having lived there for more than 13 years, Nodine said he frequently sees accidents on that stretch of Vista Way and more recently witnessed a major accident next to where the project’s driveway will exit onto the road.

“A retaining wall will not be crash-worthy,” he said.

Nodine also pointed out that Lile Street, a road adjacent to the project, comes to a dead end right before it hits Vista Way because it was previously considered unsafe when it was planned.

Commissioner Louise Balma said she understands the traffic concerns but feels confident in the traffic department’s findings. While she agrees that many people travel too fast on Vista Way, the same could be said for almost any other road.

“People are always driving too fast, it’s like it’s getting out of control,” she said.

Commissioners approved the project with a condition that the city’s traffic engineer take a second look at the safety concerns regarding the project’s ingress and egress onto Vista Way.

After three years of inactivity, horse shows will return

By Laura Place DEL MAR — Devel-

opers of a proposed 259unit housing project on Del Mar’s north bluff continue to be at odds with city leaders and residents as they surge ahead with plans for the controversial development.

The Seaside Ridge project, first proposed to the city in October, proposes a nine-building development on a 7-acre property owned by San Diego philanthropist Carol Lazier just north of Del Mar Dog Beach. It would offer units for a mix of income levels, including 42 units for low- to extremely low-income households.

Developers submitted an updated application on March 30, which Del Mar leaders have deemed to be incomplete. In an April 28 letter, the city cited various missing materials, including rezoning, Local Coastal Program Amendment, coastal development permit, and conditional use permit applications that need to be submitted for the project to move forward.

Project representative Darren Pudgil said they plan to resubmit an application addressing the identified issues.

“We will continue to work with the City to advance this worthy project, which will not only significantly help the City meet their housing requirements but also provide the public with an oceanfront park and trail, as well as new public parking,” Pudgil said. “Our hope is that the City does its part to comply with the laws that allow much-needed affordable housing projects like Seaside Ridge to move forward.”

The site at 929 Border Ave is identified in the city’s 6th Cycle Housing Element as a backup site to develop housing if the city is unable to reach a binding agreement with the Del Mar Fairgrounds to construct units on their land by next year.

Del Mar leaders submitted the city’s revised 6th cycle housing element — a state-mandated housing plan — in early April, with fingers crossed that the document will finally receive long-awaited certification from the state.

However, legal firm Sheppard Mullin, representing the Seaside Ridge project, argues that Del Mar’s housing element is out of compliance, requiring the city to rezone the property now and approve the project under “builder’s remedy.”

Lawyers also assert the project’s proposed affordable units would earn a density bonus exempting it from various local development standards.City leaders have continually pushed back against this legal interpretation.

“The City’s adopted Housing Element identifies a sufficient inventory of sites with correct zoning and capacity to meet the City’s [Regional Housing Needs Allocation] without the need to rezone properties,” said Principal Planner

Matt Bator.

City leaders are relying on the Fairgrounds to enter into a binding agreement to develop at least 61 lower-income units on their land, with less than a year until the agreement needs to be submitted to the state in April 2024.

An ad hoc committee of Fairgrounds and city officials have been meeting at least once a month to hammer out the details in hopes of having something more concrete later this year. One site being considered is a 10-acre piece of land used primarily for parking on the corner of Via de la Valle and Jimmy Durante Boulevard.

At a May 9 meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, the Fairgrounds’ managing board, officials indicated their receptivity to hosting affordable units onsite. The Fairgrounds’ part in the agreement would simply be to offer the land, while management and associat-

ed costs would be footed by the city.

“Like any complex project, it’s not gonna be simple, but it seems ultimately doable with reasonable parties on all sides,” said board president G. Joyce Rowland.

Bluff concerns

Seaside Ridge developers claim the project can be safely built on the bluff with 33-foot setbacks, accounting for sea level rise in a “conservative, low probability of occurrence scenario.”

However, several residents have expressed concerns about the project’s impact on the fragile north bluff, an area that researchers say has been especially impacted by erosion and contains the added risk of sea caves that burrow as deep as 20 feet into the cliff.

Friends of the Del Mar North Bluff co-founder Carla Echols-Hayes said the group is funding a study of current bluff conditions as well as sea caves in the cliff

face, contracting Scripps Institute of Oceanography researcher Adam Young as well as a geotechnical engineer at the cost of $15,000. The group has organized a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the cost of the report.

This isn’t the first time residents have funded such a report. Back in 2019, when a luxury resort called Marisol was proposed for the same site on the north bluff, a group of residents funded another report by Young that mapped out scenarios of sea level rise and erosion on the bluffs.

“I am very concerned not just about the cliff re-

treat, but more near-term, that it gets so destabilized, because it’s clearly on the move now, that somebody gets hurt,” Echols-Hayes said. “Whatever the deepest part of the deepest sea cave is, that’s the true toe of the bluff.”

Speaking to the Del Mar City Council on May 15, Young said these caves form around weak spots in the bluff and that they can lead

to bluff failure. Young said that as a result of intense winter storms, Del Mar’s bluffs saw an average of 20 centimeters of erosion, double what scientists usually see, and some areas saw up to one meter.

“We’re continuing to monitor how they might respond. The waves were quite large, so it could take years for some of that sand to come back,” Young said.

Offending and losing a customer ask mr. marketing

Arguably the nation’s largest event of its kind, hundreds of vendors offered arts & crafts, antiques, clothing, children’s rides and goodies by the score.

From hats to cookies, we were overwhelmingly tempted for hours on end.

As we taste-tested olive oil samples, the proprietor said these fatal words: “What flavor would you ladies like to try next?” So, let’s clarify a few things:

• I’m a man

• I have a tenor voice

Meaning, despite my ponytail, I’m not easily mistaken for a woman.

Okay, there was a lot going on, and it was an accident. Still, this unintentional slight was enough to turn me away.

Regardless of what you sell, you can learn a lesson from this incident. Because there’s a lot of gender fluidity and hostility in the world these days. Many people have lost their perspective and sense of humor.

Apparently, I’m one of them.

But politics, the #MeToo movement, universal demands for respect and the overwhelmingly serious times we live in have engendered reactions that might have remained muffled not long ago.

It’s more important than ever to watch every word you say, and this incident was an excellent example of why.

Debatably, this vendor did nothing wrong. But everyone deserves to be rec-

rob weinberg

ognized for who they are — not who you want them to be. Under the circumstances, saying something gender-neutral would have been wiser.

And while I’ll still sit down with people I know and refer to them as “ladies” or “gentlemen,” I’m finding it’s typically wiser to avoid any gender-related comments when speaking to the general public.

Just as I avoid comments related to race, nationality, religion, ethnicity or anything else that might be potentially offensive.

Here’s the bottom line: Treat everyone with the utmost respect and parse your words carefully, because you never know what stray comment will set someone off.

Get rid of the blonde, ethnic and off-color jokes you’ve been telling for years, don’t talk about the size of someone’s body parts and never touch someone without permission.

COVID’s largely in the rearview mirror, with prospective customers becoming more evident. Be sure you don’t blow a deal by putting your foot in your mouth.

With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

SD Blues Festival that benefits food bank won’t return in 2023

By City News Service

REGION

— The San Diego Blues Festival will not return to the Embarcadero this year, ending 12 years of the family-friendly event benefiting the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank and its North County Food Bank chapter.

The food bank leadership cited “soaring inflation, supply-chain challenges, and skyrocketing overhead costs for event infrastructure and entertainment” as reasons for the event's cancellation.

“Announcing the end of our beloved San Diego Blues Festival does not come easy, but after much consideration, the increased event costs, including equipment rental, staging, sound and lighting, service providers, and musical acts, forced our Board of Directors and Title Sponsor Vince Kasperick of AimLoan.com to announce the end of this major annual Food Bank fundraiser concert,” said San Diego Food Bank CEO Casey Castillo.

Kasperick founded the festival with partners and

the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank in 2011. For more than a decade, the event brought Grammy-award-winning musical artists to San Diego and raised more than $1.3 million dollars and around 21 tons of food for the food bank.

The annual festival featured food trucks and arts and crafts vendors, while featuring headliners such as Billy F Gibbons & Friends, Mavis Staples, Eric Burdon & the Animals, Tommy Castro & the Painkillers, Los Lobos, and Taj Mahal with the Phantom Blues Band.

“On behalf of the food bank, I would like to thank the dedicated blues fest fans who attended over the years,” Castillo said. “I'd also like to thank the food bank's staff and volunteers who worked the event, the wonderful musicians who played at the annual festival, and our event producer, Michael Kinsman.”

Castillo encouraged festival attendees to continue supporting the food bank through its other major fundraiser events.

Ruling puts Carlsbad’s electrification push on hold

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — A recent ruling from a threejudge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has thrown the city’s plans to require the electrification of new buildings into question.

In a lawsuit brought by the California Restaurant Association, the federal appeals court ruled against the City of Berkeley’s ordinance banning natural gas pipelines in new buildings on the basis the law preempts the federal Energy Policy and Conservation Act.

In 2021, the Encinitas City Council passed a similar ordinance strongly limiting the use of fossil fuels in new developments, essentially banning natural gas from future homes and buildings and replacing it with electric-only water heaters, cooking ranges and other appliances.

However, the Carlsbad City Council decided to move forward with developing its own “reach code” to push toward electrifying all new construction during its May 9 meeting.

Last year, the University of San Diego’s Energy Policy Initiatives Center provided the city with three options for electrifying new buildings:

1. Electric only, or building no new gas infrastructure

2. Electric only to building code, or requiring that all new construction is electric only

3. Electric only plus energy efficiency or photovoltaics, or requiring that all new construction is electric only and exceeds energy-efficiency standards.

The council, scheduled to hear the item again on July 11, will wait until an appeal is filed and accepted to explore alternatives, such

as setting higher building efficiency standards without requiring new construction to be all-electric.

“There is one option, and it’s the reach code that does not define all-electric, but prefers it,” said Joe Kaatz, an Energy Policy Initiatives Center attorney and consultant. “Until we have certainty of what will happen, that is the option. If this opinion gets overturned by an en banc panel, then we’re back to the races with all-electric.”

According to Katie Hentrich, the city’s senior program manager, the reach code could take between six to 12 months to develop, plus another two to six months for the California Energy Commission to approve it. The code would be effective once it is filed with the Building Standards Commission.

The report said only two cities in the state have such a code, although they

can be used to regulate mixed-fuel buildings that are exceptions to all-electric definitions.

Hentrich and Ron Kemp, senior assistant city attorney, said the reach code sets efficiency standards and avoids definitions rather than banning natural gas outright.

“If Berkeley has good legal arguments, this may still be possible,” said Councilwoman Teresa Acosta. “More than 70 cities are doing this.”

While the all-electric approach would have the greatest reductions to greenhouse gas emissions, it would also have higher costs for multi-family construction, which typically require more appliances and hookups, Hentrich said. Single-family units would have lower costs.

Hentrich also acknowledged it remains unclear if the addition of all-electric appliances, such as water

heaters, stoves, washers and dryers, would place an additional strain on the electrical grid. Several residents spoke to last year’s heat wave and the restrictions on charging electric vehicles and other devices as proof

electrification would only further burden an already stressed grid.

Acosta pressed the city to act fast to tackle climate change as fast as possible. However, Kemp and others said Berkeley has until

May 31 to challenge the ruling, which several Berkeley City Council members have pledged to do.

But there is no guarantee the court will take up the case again. If it does, the appeal would go to a larger panel, taking up to a year or more before a decision is rendered, leaving more than 70 cities in the state in limbo on enacting similar ordinances.

“There is a lot of uncertainty right now,” Kemp said. “Their (restaurant association) argument says federal law says you can have (gas appliances), so when Berkeley banned those, they were effectively banning those appliances.”

Acosta and Councilwoman Priya Bhat-Patel also discussed other actions for the council, such as banning gas-powered leaf blowers and lawnmowers, along with prohibiting parents from idling in their vehicles before and after school.

Councilwoman Melanie Burkholder supported the idling ban but said it would be difficult to enforce.

perintendent since 2019 and was superintendent in the Ramona Unified School District the three years prior. Staffieri said she looks forward to using her experience to foster stability in the district.

“It is an honor to serve the community in which I grew up. I look forward to partnering with the board, staff, students, and families to build upon San Dieguito’s reputation as a district of opportunity and choice. I am confident that we will accomplish great things together,” she said.

According to board members, Staffieri’s character and impressive track record in San Diego County education set her apart from other candidates.

“The board was drawn to her forthright leadership style, depth of experience, and passion for the well-being of the SDUHSD community. Educators throughout the county speak highly of her ethics and ability to successfully lead a school district,” said board president Rimga Viskanta.

“She will be able to hit the ground running and lean into the positive relationships she already has in our area, including connections with the superintendents in our feeder districts.”

Along with a doctorate in educational leadership from Brigham Young University, Staffieri holds a master’s of arts in curriculum development from Cal State San Marcos and a bachelor’s of science in biology from Brigham Young.

She was also named the 2021 Superintendent of the Year by the California Continuation Education Association.

If contract negotiations and final board approval go well, Staffieri will take the reins from current interim superintendent Tina Douglas for the start of the 202324 school year in August.

“I will continue to serve as interim superintendent until Staffieri begins her assignment. Staffieri and I will work closely together to ensure a seamless transition for all prior to the 2023-24 school year,” Douglas said.

San Dieguito has been without a permanent superintendent since the June 2022 firing of Cheryl James-

Ward, who served for less than one year.

Staffieri will see a slight pay boost from Escondido Union, where her 2021 salary was just under $268,000, to San Dieguito, where James-Ward earned $288,000.

Other board members also shared their excitement about working with Staffieri.

“The last few years have been a tumultuous period for our district, but I am confident that we are now on a clear and positive path. Dr. Staffieri is a proven leader with the experience to guide us in a direction of continuing academic excellence, collaboration with parents, transparency, and fiscal responsibility,” said Michael Allman.

“Beyond her strengths as an approachable leader, honest communicator, skilled collaborator and fluent Spanish speaker, I believe it is her heart that uniquely qualifies her to be our next Superintendent. A proud alumna of Torrey Pines High School with family still in our schools, she cares deeply about our students and staff,” said Katrina Young.

Enge riding with Wave but never forgets her past Sports

sports talk

jay paris

For starters, it was a winner for the San Diego Wave and Cardiff’s Sierra Enge.

The local National Women’s Soccer League team got the better of the Kansas City Current and Enge’s footprints were evident in last weekend’s 2-0 win.

Actually, it was one small step for Enge in her NWSL debut and one giant leap for someone with North County roots.

While the goals were produced by Alex Wagner and Belle Briede, Enge was on the pitch for 90 minutes. She contributed two clearances, a block, an interception and was true on 18 of her 25 passes, for a nifty 72% success rate.

Yep, Enge showed up, much like she did in her five seasons at Stanford University. She played on a national title squad at “The Farm,” but never forgot the lessons she learned from attending Carlsbad’s Pacific Ridge School as a teenager.

Many of those formative years were spent with Enge earning her stripes in club soccer, when she played for the teams supported by the Los Angeles Galaxy and SoCal Blue. She also led Pacific Ridge to two CIF-San Diego Section lacrosse championships.

Those glory days are in Enge’s rearview mirror. Looking forward, Wave coach Casey Stoney knows she has a rock in Enge.

“She is only going to get better in this environment,” Stoney said after Enge played in a preseason match. “She’s stepped into it immensely.”

Enge also stepped back into a Pacific Ridge classroom in March, eager to share her tips for finding the right path and striving toward a goal.

Enge’s quest to become a pro soccer player came true when the Wave selected the midfielder 13th overall in

January’s draft. Among the first tweets saluting the pick came from Morgan, one of the world’s most celebrated women’s soccer players, as well as Enge’s new teammate.

“Excited for you to get started with us on the fields you grew up playing on,” Morgan wrote.

Right on, thought Enge. Some two months later, Enge, 23, was right back at Pacific Ridge to share her

story.

“It is really special,” Enge told the attentive pupils. “It’s unique to be able to come back and be able to live in my hometown.”

It’s a region that is in love with soccer and filled with folks eager to cheer those not allergic to sweat and tears. Enge emphasized that she reached the NWSL by embracing the grind that every keen athlete learns to accept.

“The first thing and a theme throughout my experience is just the importance of hard work,” Enge said. “You can really achieve great things if you are willing to work hard and dedicate time and energy toward it.”

Stoney recognized Enge’s energy long before she became part of the Wave. Then Stoney saw it up close when Enge broke the seal on her pro career in play before the regular season.

“She is so coachable,” Stoney said. “She listens, she learns and she is an incredible person. I think we are really lucky that we drafted her.”

The soccer ball didn’t fall far from the tree. Enge’s father, Brian, was also a pro soccer player after his stint at Harvard University.

What she gleaned from her dad, and others, is that soccer is as unpredictable as

it is difficult. But anything worthwhile is accompanied by perseverance and that goes for athletics and everything else.

That’s why if something derails your dream, don’t quit dreaming.

“Kids and adults, at any stage in your life, you are going to face some trials and some challenges,” Enge said. “And I think through my experiences I learned how to deal with them in a positive way and I think, how I can change and grow out of it.”

She’s transitioning into her role with the Wave just fine.

“I can only say how proud I am of her,” Stoney said.

That pride also has a home in North County, where Enge has a shot of making an impact with our youth.

“They still have so much life left to live and a lot of challenges that they are going to face,” she said. “If they can come out of it from a positive and learning perspective, they are going to be better off in the future.”

That’s from someone who hasn’t forgotten her past. Once again, Enge shoots and scores.

Padel tennis courts coming to O’side

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— The Townsite neighborhood near downtown Oceanside will soon welcome two new courts designed for padel, an increasingly popular game similar to tennis.

The city's Planning Commission on May 8 unanimously approved the construction and operation of two padel courts at 222 South Coast Hwy. Now vacant, the 9,500-square-foot site was previously a used car lot.

Padel is played on small enclosed courts (like a squash court) using carbon fiber or fiberglass rackets. The games are played in doubles — four players per court — and the games typically consist of three sets. Players serve the ball underhand and may use the walls surrounding the court to keep the ball in play.

The balls are similar to a tennis ball but slightly smaller in size.

The two padel courts in Oceanside will be about 33 feet wide and 66 feet deep, surrounded by 10-foot plexiglass walls with an ad-

ditional 6 feet of netting on top. The dilapidated trailer currently on site will be repurposed into an office. The courts will also have an onsite restroom.

Hours of operation will be between 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days per week. Players will be able to access rental padel equipment via lockboxes when staff members are not present. The courts will also feature lighting that turns off when not the court is not in use.

While the game is popular in Latin American and European countries, its presence in the United States is still new but growing in popularity.

“We are one of the fastest growing sports in the world,” said Amir Palmen, CEO of Padel California, the company that will operate the new courts in Oceanside.

The Barnes Tennis Center in Ocean Beach is currently the only location in San Diego County with padel courts.

“It’ll be the first of its kind in North County,” said

Dane Thompson, the city planner in charge of overseeing the proposed padel project.

According to the padel court owners, the sport is easy to play but difficult to master.

“It’s a lot of fun,” said James Bragg, CFO of Padel California.

While commissioners were receptive to the new courts, some were even excited about being able to play in the future, some were also concerned about

the potential noise affecting nearby residents.

Much of the sound will be absorbed by the plexiglass walls as well as by additional soundproofing material, including a meshed fence. The developers noted that the sport is quieter than pickleball, which can be noisy at times.

The developers hope to create new programming with local organizations, schools and nearby hotels involved to teach more people about the sport.

MLS in San Diego? League teases big announcement

By

City News Service REGION

— It looks like Major League Soccer will be coming to San Diego, with the league on May 16 announcing plans for a news conference this week for “a significant announcement about the future of soccer” in the city.

Mayor Todd Gloria were set to join MLS Commissioner Don Garber, British-Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Mansour and Cody Martinez, chairman of the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, for the 10:45 a.m. announcement May 18 at Snapdragon Stadium, MLS said.

According to published reports, Mansour — senior treasurer for the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party — is set to back the team with $500 million in partnership with the Sycuan tribe.

Any such team could play in Snapdragon Stadium by 2025, a year before the United States will join Mexico and Canada in hosting the 2026 World Cup.

Dan Courtemanche, vice president of communications for the MLS, told City News Service he could not confirm or deny the announcement of a new club.

In the wake of MLS expansion rumors, the ownership of one of San Diego's existing professional soccer clubs — SD Loyal of the USL Championship League — put out a defiant statement last week saying the team isn't

“going anywhere.”

“Our unwavering commitment is to the vision of growing soccer in this city, and we want to make that abundantly clear,” said Andrew Vassiliadis, chairman and owner of SD Loyal.

“Landon Donovan, the entire San Diego Loyal team and I are dedicated to this mission, and we will continue to work tirelessly to achieve it. Our passion for soccer and for our community will never falter.”

Donovan was previously head coach of the club, and was named executive vice president of soccer operations in December 2022.

CASE NUMBER: PLCY-006248-2023; APPLICANT: City of Encinitas; LOCATION: Citywide; PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Public hearing to consider a recommendation to City Council to adopt Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Guidelines as required to comply with revised California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) legislation (SB 743). Previously, CEQA review of a project’s transportation impact focused on metrics related to vehicle delay and Level of Service (LOS). Per SB 743, starting on July 1, 2020, LOS shall no longer be used as the performance measure to determine the transportation impacts of projects. Instead, an alternative metric that supports the goals of the SB 743 legislation is necessary, and CEQA Guidelines state that VMT is the most appropriate measure of transportation impacts. The VMT Guidelines identi es VMT analysis methodologies, establishes VMT thresholds for CEQA transportation impacts, and identi es potential mitigation strategies. The Draft VMT Guidelines document is available on the City’s website at: encinitasca.gov/mobilityelement ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: The VMT Guidelines are exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(5). Section 15061(b)(3) exempts activities covered under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects where it can be seen with certainty that the project has no possibility for causing a signi cant e ect on the environment. Section 15378(b)(5) exempts organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment in that the request is an administrative activity to recommend adoption of VMT Guidelines and is not considered a “project” under CEQA. Future projects subject to the newly adopted guidelines will require CEQA review.

PROJECT NO: CDP 2021-0011/HDP 2021-002/HMP 2021-0003 (DEV 2021-0049)

PROJECT LOCATION: City of Carlsbad right-of-way along the western area of Carlsbad Boulevard and beach promenades from Pine Avenue to Tamarack Avenue, adjacent APNS: 2043100100 and 2032501500

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Beach Access Repair Project (Project) proposes structural repairs and improvements to the existing concrete sidewalks, retaining walls, and beach access stairways located along Carlsbad Boulevard. The Project consists primarily of repairing or replacing existing features in- kind, with the exception of the upper sidewalk, which is proposed to be widened to accommodate the heavy tra c of passive and active recreational user groups. The locations of the proposed sidewalk improvements and repairs, proposed stairway replacements as well as the proposed staging area for the Project. The Project is within City and California State Parks jurisdiction (State Parks). The proposed Project consists of two major elements: The Upper Sidewalk Improvements and Beach Access Stairway Replacements. The proposed actions associated with these elements are outlined below:

Upper Sidewalk Improvements:

• Replacement and widening by 2.5’ through the removal of a surface mounted railing and metal beam guardrail (1’ gained) and a 1.5’ sidewalk widening/extension to the west. The total upper sidewalk width would be increased from 9’ to 11’-4” to 11’-10” in the proposed condition.

• Replacing the existing upper sidewalk surface-mounted railing between Pine Ave and Tamarack Ave with a side-mounted railing to provide an additional extra sidewalk walking width.

Beach Access Stairway Replacements:

• Replacement of four (4) existing elevated access stairways and railings in same con guration (size and shape) at each access location. The replacements will utilize the existing reinforced concrete pile that support the stairway landings. The handrails edging the stairs and platforms would be replaced with similar railings and handrails that meet applicable codes and would include downward facing lighting.

• Replace one (1) on-grade access stairway and railings at Tamarack Avenue within the footprint of the existing stair curbs and walkway.

Additional Improvements:

• Replace existing sandbags with short retaining wall extensions (no more than 20 linear feet) at the base of the Maple, Sycamore and Hemlock Avenue stairways to control soil sloughing from the blu from impacting use of the stairs.

• Install new under rail accent lighting at the elevated access platforms and the Tamarack Avenue on-grade access stairway.

• The Project also includes miscellaneous improvements in the Project vicinity such as replacing the existing streetlight poles along the beach side of Carlsbad Blvd from Pine Ave to Tamarack Ave and replacing the existing sidewalk and railing around the beach shower along the upper sidewalk near the Tamarack Ave restroom. In total there are 14 existing LED streetlights; 11 of the existing streetlights are double mast and three (3) are single mast. All the existing streetlights will be replaced with in-kind double mast streetlights within the footprints of the existing streetlights.

PROPOSED DETERMINATION: The City of Carlsbad has conducted an environmental review of the above described project pursuant to the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Environmental Protection Ordinance of the City of Carlsbad. As a result of said review, the Initial study identi ed potentially signi cant e ects on the environment, but (1) revisions in the project plans or proposals made by, or agreed to by, the applicant before the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study are released for public review would avoid the e ects or mitigate the e ects to a point where clearly no signi cant e ect on the environment would occur, and (2) there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the City that the project “as revised” may have a signi cant e ect on the environment. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration will be recommended for adoption by the City of Carlsbad Planning Commission.

AVAILABILITY: A copy of the Initial Study documenting reasons to support the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration is on le in the Planning Division, 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, California 92008 and is available online at: https://www.carlsbadca.gov/departments/community-development/planning/agendas-minutes- notices

City explores crosswalk options near Solana Beach

By Kaila Mellos ENCINITAS

— As hundreds of pedestrians continue to scramble across Coast Highway 101 daily, the city’s Mobility and Traffic Safety Commission discussed options for a safe pedestrian crosswalk at the Encinitas-Solana Beach border.

Recently, the cities of Encinitas and Solana Beach jointly hired a consultant to create plans for a protected crosswalk between Cardiff State Beach and Harbaugh Seaside Trails.

Abe Bandegan, a traffic engineer at the City of Encinitas, spoke at the May 8 meeting to give the commissioners three options for protected crosswalks.

The three options are to install a standard pedestrian crossing with a signal, similar to the underpass near Swami’s Beach, install a HAWK (High-intensity Activated CrossWalk), or build a “Z”-shaped or staggered crosswalk cutting into a lane of traffic in each direction.

The commissioners largely discussed the signalized pedestrian crossing and “Z”-shaped crosswalk, both of which have their downfalls, according to Bandegan.

The signalized crossing would have a potential installation cost of between $30,000 and $40,000 for the two cities and the po-

tential to raise concerns of nearby homeowners with obstructed ocean views from traffic lights and poles.

The “Z”-shaped crosswalk, while much cheaper without blocking views, would need approval from the Coastal Commission, which could take up to six months or more.

“As an engineer, I would like to see the pedestrian signal,” Bandegan said. “Drivers respect it; they know what it is, everybody stops, and you cross safely. I would use a pedestrian signal, especially somewhere like this, where 200 to 300 pedestrians cross during the weekend. If we add a crosswalk, it will probably go up to 500 people crossing during one weekend.”

Most of the illegal crossing on Coast Highway 101 has come from pedestrians from the Harbaugh Seaside Trail area in Solana Beach to reach the ocean. Along with this proposal, new bike and pedestrian routes are currently being installed in Encinitas, bringing more improvements as sidewalk construction is expected to finish by wintertime.

Commissioner June Honsberger said the signalized pedestrian crossing seems like the safest and most viable option but sees the appeal of the “Z”-shaped crosswalk, which may be the most attractive option simply due to cost.

Horses transform lives at Ivey Ranch

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— Horses have been an integral part of therapy for hundreds of North County and Camp Pendleton residents over the last 20 years at Ivey Ranch Park.

The Ivey Ranch Park Association has served children and adults with disabilities since 1981 but didn’t start its equestrian program until 2003, after Executive Director Tonya Danielly proposed introducing horses at

the park to offer equine therapy services to the nonprofit’s clients.

Equine therapy, also known as equine-assisted therapy, is a form of treatment that involves activities with horses, including riding, to promote physical, occupational and emotional health in people with anxiety, depression, dementia, post-traumatic stress disorder, physical disabilities, and traumatic brain injuries and those who suffered from abuse and addiction.

Ivey Ranch has expanded its equestrian program to treat all those conditions and is also available to able-bodied riders to promote social interaction and integration.

In equine therapy, the participants learn about

themselves and others while working with and riding horses. During these interactions, horses recognize and respond to the emotions of humans.

“Horses are amazing partners because they’re empaths,” Danielly said. “They read the person as soon as they’re near and can immediately tell if they are angry, nervous or happy, and they reflect that back — that’s why they’re such wonderful partners in psychotherapy, equine-assisted learning and counseling.”

Danielly is a credentialed early education instructor, a state licensed site supervisor, certified therapeutic riding instructor and an equine specialist in mental health and learning.

Though some were skeptical at first given the challenges inherent in caring for horses, the equestrian program took off and grew from a single donated horse to 26 working horses today. The program also expanded its reach in Ivey Ranch Park, which the association leases long-term from the city.

Ivey Ranch is located within the city’s Historic Preservation Area No. 1, which encompasses Mission San Luis Rey next door to the ranch. The white house on the ranch, where the Ivey Ranch Park Association is headquartered, was built in 1889. The house and the ranch went through sever-

ART BY LOCAL ARTISTS

al owners over the next 46 years before L.O. (Lott Otis) Ivey purchased the property in 1937.

The city acquired the property in 1981. That same year, a steering committee proposed a park on 20 acres of the ranch with the desire to provide a broad range of inclusive, recreational activities accessible to everyone, especially those with disabilities.

While the city owns the park, the Ivey Ranch Park Association runs and maintains it. The association offers after-school, summer and holiday care for all children and is specifically tailored to help children with special needs. The association also offers in-home care to provide respite for caretakers.

Of 67 staff members, 23 are employed specifically under the equestrian program, including the clinically certified therapists who lead equine therapy sessions with clients. They are joined during a session by at least one or two other volunteers who assist the therapist and client in handling the horse.

More than 1,000 volunteers contribute over 20,000 hours to taking care of the horses. Their tasks range from tending the stables to grooming to feeding, training and even performing with the horses.

Prior experience with horses isn’t necessary to volunteer. Over time, a volunteer can become a certified handler.

Debbie George has volunteered at Ivey Ranch for nearly 14 years following her retirement as a pharmacy technician at Kaiser Permanente. She had no experience with horses at the time, but today she is well acquainted with the personalities and grooming needs of the ranch’s horses.

George’s favorite horses are Big Boy and Abraham, or Big and Abe for short.

“Big is such a sweetheart,” she said. “People are sometimes afraid of him because he’s so big, but he’s just

Tomato farm builds dorms for workers

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — West Coast

Tomato

Growers

is building dormitories to house seasonal farmworkers on-site at its packing facility in the city’s Guajome neighborhood near South Morro Hills.

The Planning Commission on May 8 approved the agricultural company’s request to build four buildings that will house 338-bed dormitories, kitchen, dining hall, laundry and office space at 5780 Mission Road.

West Coast Tomato Growers cultivates 580 acres of tomatoes and Brussels sprouts in Oceanside between March and November with the help of more than 300 seasonal employees from central Mexico.

The workers are in the United States under the H-2A visa program, which requires their employer to provide them with housing while working in the U.S.

The company was previously leasing a nearby site to house its seasonal workers. With that option no longer available, West Coast has planned to build its own facility. “It seems like a much needed project if you’re op-

erating a fairly sizable agricultural operations,” said Planning Commission Chair Tom Rosales. “Kudos to the applicant for recognizing need and stepping up to fund what looks like a really good project for the workers.”

The new dorms will be constructed on four acres next to the farm’s 25,000-square-foot pack-

ing facility. Two dorms will house the male farmworkers with up to 144 beds total, and a third building will house the female farmworkers with up to 50 beds.

Each dorm has eight rooms with eight to 10 bunkbeds and communal bathrooms. The fourth building will contain the dining and kitchen areas, while the fe-

male dormitory will include the communal laundry area and janitorial storage space on the ground floor. Additionally, the company will build a soccer field and basketball court as part of the project for the farmworkers during their stay.

Additionally, the dorm project will include a biofiltration basin, overflow outfall and storm drain connection at the site's northwest corner to treat runoff. Due to the site’s proximity to the San Luis Rey River, the project will include a 100foot buffer from the riparian forested areas near the river. The project will include extensive landscaping and 25 new canopy trees along its perimeter.

Commissioner Louise Balma, who lives in South Morro Hills, where her property overlooks the West Coast Tomato Growers’ fields, commended the agricultural company for bringing forward the project.

“I’m impressed with what you guys are doing and support you 1 million percent,” she said.

The Singh family owns West Coast Tomato Grower and has farmed in North County for over 60 years.

Video shows shooting of armed man at Vista church

By City News Service VISTA

— Authorities

on May 17 released video clips of a deputy’s non-fatal shooting of a seemingly suicidal 77-year-old man who approached sheriff’s personnel and bystanders with a gun in his hand outside a Vista church.

The armed man, whose name has not been released, was slowly walking toward a parking lot in front of Iglesia Ni Cristo Church of Christ in the 1400 block of Calle Jules when Deputy Justin Williams shot him on the afternoon of May 7, accord-

so smart and gentle, and he’s good with the little ones.”

Big is a draft horse, a breed known for its larger size. He works with the vaulting team, clients who perform acrobatics while on horseback.

Irene Diggs, a board member and fellow volunteer, found out about the program five years ago from one of her students at Cal State San Marcos. “It’s such a unique program,” she said.

Diggs and George both enjoy seeing the transformation as clients and horses work together.

“It’s great to see how people have come so far,” George said.

Clients give back by volunteering their time to the program as well. Danielly said the program works with the Wounded Warriors Battalion from Camp Pendleton to provide therapy services to its veterans, who in turn help with other equine therapy sessions.

Ivey Ranch will soon have a new partner, The Hacienda Mission San Luis Rey, a new senior housing project

ing to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.

The man remained hospitalized this week for treatment of gunshot wounds to his legs. He is expected to survive, and the county District Attorney’s Office does not plan to file criminal charges against him over the encounter, sheriff’s officials said.

Williams’ uniform-worn camera, a video surveillance system and a witness’ cellphone captured images of the shooting and the events that immediately preceded it.

under construction next to the mission and Ivey Ranch Park. The new homes will provide independent and assisted living plus memory care for seniors.

Although its residents are not set to move in until September, they can visit the ranch beforehand to learn how they can continue to stay active in the community as volunteers.

“Many of our future residents have been raised on ranches and farms, and others are former teachers and educators who want to stay involved,” said Mariano Perez, executive director of The Hacienda. “We’re eliminating the labels of seniors and retirement as they still want to be part of the community.”

Residents from The Hacienda’s memory care ward may also find therapeutic outlets while at the ranch. Research has shown that people with Alzheimer’s and dementia can benefit from spending time with horses.

The Hacienda plans to sponsor one or two of the ranch’s horses, which helps the association offset costs.

Deputies went to the church just north of East Bobier Drive about 12:30 p.m. in response to a 911 caller’s report that a man was in a building there, holding a handgun to his head.

When deputies arrived, they learned that members of the congregation were inside the complex with the armed man, though he was in a separate structure,

The suspect walked outside into a breezeway with a cane in one hand and a pistol in the other, authorities said.

Despite deputies’ repeated commands to drop

the gun, the man kept walking slowly in their direction, holding the weapon loosely at arm’s length — seemingly clutching it by the end of the handgrip, not in a position that would allow him to readily fire it.

“I don’t want to have to shoot you!” Williams is heard shouting. “Please drop the gun! Please!”

In response, the armed man yells back “shoot” several times. A moment later, the deputy fires a single round, prompting the suspect to drop the gun and collapse. onto the pavement.

warned that not properly storing or reviewing individual score sheets could lead to collusion between staff and leadership to award contracts to preferred vendors and collusion between staff and vendors to award contracts.

Vendor Z

The report examined a contract with “Vendor Z,” originally awarded $25 million for on-call environmental planning and architect and engineering design services. However, the final contract amount had ballooned to over $128 million — a 412% increase from the original award.

Vendor Z was awarded 48% of the original advertised amount of $260 million, which was “to be shared amongst all the oncall firms over a period of seven years.” The auditor found excessive contract amendments, leading to “overuse of internal resources and ineffective government practices.”

Additionally, 10 task orders associated with Vendor Z’s contract required competitive bidding but were never offered for competition.

In October 2022, Khoshmashrab released the first part of the report, identifying $290 million in questionable contracts from SANDAG’s top 30 vendors.

Giaola another star from husband-wife team

The Grand Restaurant Group, or GRG for short, may be familiar to some of our readers, as it is the umbrella organization that includes Alejandra’s, a Carlsbad restaurant we featured recently that opened in early March at the former site of Crazy Burro and Ignite in Carlsbad.

Giaola Italian Kitchen, located in Carlsbad’s Bressi Ranch, is another restaurant owned by Sandy DiCicco and Brian Bonar within GRG.

Executive chef Amy DiBiase, who has over a decade of experience managing highly-regarded local

taste of wine

restaurants, creates all the menus for GRG.

In our previous article, we mentioned that chefs Kevin and Dona assist her in crafting GRG menus. Although both are key to GRG culinary operations, we wanted to ensure that DiBiase’s responsibilities are accurately portrayed. DiBiase’s right-hand person at

Giaola is kitchen manager and chef Eddy Salgado.

At Giaola Italian Kitchen, everything is made in-house, from pasta to sauces, dressings and bread. The dishes can be described as Nuevo Italian with a modern twist. The restaurant features a dining room and a covered patio with heat lamps, making it the perfect spot for events or for dining with your furry companions.

When the weather is ideal, the floor-to-ceiling doors can be opened, creating an al fresco Italian dining experience. Like Alejandra’s, Giaola’s boasts a beautifully-lit bar, known

as a torchio, with large screen TVs for guests to catch a game.

Brice Kupstaitis leads the bar operations, drawing on his 20 years of food, beverage, bar, and wine experience to create an exciting beverage menu that includes a wide selection of wines, from bubbles to whites, rosés, and reds, featuring Italian varietals, available by the glass or bottle.

Vista neighbors Helia, Dogleg face off in round 1

THE COMPETI-

TORS: In Round 1 of the North County Brewery Patio-Off Bracket (NCBPOB), it’s a battle to the death…

Okay, that’s a little bit of an exaggeration. Tucked into that weird corner of the map that says Vista but still feels like Carlsbad, you’ll find neighbors Helia Brewing Co. and Dogleg Brewing Co.

As far as I can tell on my first visit to both breweries is that there isn’t any bad blood between them. I’ve even heard rumors they occasionally collaborate on Makers Market events.

THE SCORES: As a reminder, breweries are scored on a 100-point scale with a max of 20 points per category. See the scoring details in our NCBPO launch column. Skip below for an unexpected twist or two.

Dogleg Brewing Co.

Dogleg Brewing opens at 3 p.m. on a Monday afternoon, which is a pleasant surprise. A lot of breweries have taken to opening later or not at all early in the week. I’m here to check out the patio, but the entire space feels wide open with tall brewery standard ceil-

ings and open garage doors to the back parking lot and the patio area.

I order a Dogleg Pale Ale, and the beertender says, “Here you go, friend.”

I wonder if it is, perhaps, a nod to golf sportscaster Jim Nantz, who is famous for his “Hello, friends” catchphrase.

I take my pint out back onto the original patio and take a seat at the bartop that looks into the brewery itself. Behind me, tall chairs line a rail along the fence. On the other side is a cute parklet, which I assume was a pandemic addition. A white party tent provides shade over some faux grass, picnic tables, lounge chairs and potted plants. It is enclosed by a white picket fence.

The ping of an iron golf club head striking a ball snaps me out of my observational reverie. It’s followed immediately by a thwack! when the ball strikes the golf simulator video screen inside. I watch from my perch at the indoor/outdoor bar. The pings and thwacks break through the chattering from what sounds like a slew of birds hidden in the scrub brush on the hillside behind the brewery. The chirping is mellowed by the new/old pop music playing inside—Chuck Berry, Kelly Clarkson and David Bowie.

I take my empty pint back to the bar, smile and wave. “Goodbye, friend,” the beertender calls as walk away.

Breakfast elevated to a higher level at Manna

sides and add-ons like Toast & Jam, Avocado, Steak, Bagel & Cream Cheese, Smoked Salmon, Grilled Shrimp and Manna Kimchi.

david boylan

I’ve always fancied myself pretty good in the kitchen, especially when it comes to breakfast. I can whip up a decent quiche, frittata, scramble, breakfast sandwich and burrito with the best of them.

That said, eating breakfast out has always been more of a social thing for me as it’s become difficult for me to be impressed by standard offerings. That all changed in a big way recently when I discovered Manna in Leucadia.

Simply put, I’ve never experienced anything even close to their inventive and delicious menu, and I can’t stop thinking about my next visit.

Full disclosure before I begin this Manna love fest: I do live a short walk away, which makes it even more desirable but, honestly, I would drive a great distance to experience the breakfast bliss at Manna.

They describe it as a “modern day atelier,” which in its most basic translation means workshop, but some other fun synonyms include cave, hotbed, nest, sanctuary, burrow and cloister.

Located on North Coast Highway in the former Moto Deli space, Manna is the latest project from executive chef and owner Andrew Bachelier, also a Leucadia resident. It will double as a workshop space for Andrew and his culinary team as they prepare for their much anticipated Chick & Hawk,

wines, Antinori Tignanello Super Tuscan Red and Daou Soul of a Lion Cabernet Sauvignon red blend, on the menu.

As a fan of Disaronno Amaretto, I couldn’t resist trying the Amaretto Sour with lemon juice and a frothy egg white topping. Frank opted for a glass of Laird Chardonnay. With our initial drink selections made, we eagerly awaited our parade of delectable appetizers. We were having trouble deciding what to order. Anything we mentioned showed up at our table.

Among these was a fresh burrata accompanied by a sweet tomato confit and artichokes, served alongside perfectly grilled herb focaccia bread. We also indulged in meatballs and bruschetta. The meatballs, each the size of a billiard ball, were outstanding, featuring a succulent blend of pork, veal, and beef.

We also mentioned the Scarface pizza, which boasted an alfredo sauce,

their collaboration with local and skateboard legend Tony Hawk. Look for that happening by the end of summer.

Besides the world-class talent of Bachelier (Blanca, Addison, Cucina Enoteca, Campfire, Jeune et Jolie, to name a few), he is joined by longtime friend and chef de cuisine Marlaw Seraspi, who has an equally impressive culinary resume. I’ve interviewed both for Lick the Plate several times over the years and besides their incredible creativity and passion, both were super fun and down to earth, which made for great conversations.

It’s a relatively small space but they’ve made the most of it and the kitchen runs like a finely tuned exotic sports car. The 25-seat patio is intimate and inviting, not straying far from its location in the heart of Leucadia.

Their daytime, break-

locally sourced Jidori chicken, and mushrooms, all crowned with melted fresh mozzarella cheese.

Before we indulged in our appetizers, we had a fresh mini loaf of house bread, served with butter and oil and vinegar for dipping. As I said, it was a veritable parade of appetizers.

Deciding on dinner entrees was just as difficult, given the impressive menu crafted by Chef Amy. Frank, a rigatoni enthusiast, went for the Bolognese al Forno: a plate of rigatoni topped with a rich marinara sauce and dollops of creamy ricotta cheese.

As for me, I found it hard to pick just one item from the menu. Thankfully, our knowledgeable server Eldrinn suggested the Giaola Trio, which includes deep-dish lasagna, cheese ravioli, and spaghetti. I was able to substitute the regular spaghetti for one of my favorite Italian dishes, spaghetti carbonara, which is a medley of spaghetti with prosciutto, onion, egg, and pecorino cheese.

It was a tough call, but the lasagna and carbonara

fast-leaning menu is designed to be nourishing with many offerings that were new to me, including Overnight Oats with ancient grains, Beets and Berries with spirulina coconut yogurt, Blue Corn Chilaquiles in mole negro, and Cilbir, which is Turkish-style soft poached eggs, herbed yogurt

tied for first place, with the cheese ravioli coming in a very close second. I highly recommend this dish to anyone facing the same predicament.

To accompany the Giaola Trio feast, I chose a glass of Daou Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, which proved to be a perfect companion.

Despite already being quite full, Eldrinn’s recommendation of the bread pudding was too tempting to resist. And I’m so glad we gave in! The nuevo bread pudding is baked, chilled, and deep-fried to create crisp, caramelized edges that perfectly complement the creamy interior.

Served alongside a generous scoop of vanilla gelato and a spoonful of whipped cream, this dessert is a real standout.

I highly recommend trying Giaola, which, along with Alejandra’s, adds to Carlsbad’s growing culinary scene. Special thanks to Kristina Miller, GRG’s director of operations, for inviting us to experience another fantastic restaurant in their group.

and chili garlic butter toast from Prager Brothers.

I tried the Cilbir on my first visit and it was the dish that made me realize how special this place is…it was truly breakfast bliss.

ramps and a green garlic toum. I also really wanted to see what they were offering as their steak side and well, despite the double dose of meat breakfast, it was sliced and cooked perfect medium rare. Another breakfast delight for sure.

Some more fabulous-looking options that I will be back for include a Torrija, which I can best describe as a cross between French toast and bread pudding … and originating from Spain. Manna does it with country bread, coconut milk, sherry, citrus fennel and chantily. I get excited just typing that one out. Even their Breakfast Sandwich is elevated — a croissant with egg, jambon, garlic herb cheese, avocado, arugula and green garlic.

And honestly, I’m tempted to create a breakfast feast by combining several of their

Victor Magalhaes, owner of Vittorio’s Italian Trattoria, is hosting a Hope Family Wine Dinner on Thu 5/25 at 6 PM.

The main course features grilled flat iron steak paired with the 2021 Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon.

Of course, the beverages are not going to be run-ofthe-mill either. They offer homemade sodas, probiotic coolers, an Arnold Palmer, lemonade and a wellness shot. I had the Koh Samui soda with lemongrass, coriander and lime leaf and loved it. And yes, you can get a simple glass of orange or grapefruit juice, but they are organic and cold pressed. Coffee is sourced from Steady State and the tea is loose leaf.

One of the most amazing things about Manna is, that despite sourcing the best possible ingredients available and the talent level in the kitchen and among the servers, I did not see any dish on the menu over $20. That’s tough to find in even basic breakfast joints these days and Manna rises so far above that level of cuisine it makes me love this place even more.

The word is already out amongst the foodie set, so if you attempt a weekend visit, go early or be prepared to wait. My suggestion is to go on a weekday when they open as the pace is more slow and easy, kind of like old Leucadia, but the food and service equally spectacular.

Word is there are plans for a raw bar and more seafood dishes along with a selection of natural wine. That just might make for some day drinking!

Take my word on this one folks, it’s all that and then some.

The Bird Rock Coffee

Roasters in Bressi Ranch should be easy to visit. There are multiple large parking areas for the surrounding restaurants, groceries and fitness centers surrounding the cafe.

It should be easy, but this morning, it is not. It is midweek at about 10 a.m. and I find myself turning in tight circles around and around the buildings looking for the telltale brake lights of a car exiting the lot.

Walking up to BRCR, you can see the oversized, circular patio fire pit from across the parking lot. It provides a nice blast of warmth on a cool, gray morning.

There are oversized shade umbrellas in the icon-

ic teal of the Bird Rock logo over the lounging couches and chairs that fill the space, but there is no need to open them today.

I push through the front door, and whoa! — sensory overload. This cafe is hopping. Every seat is full. Everybody seems to be buzzing with energy.

Immediately to my right, a pass-thru retail wall is loaded up with coffee beans to take away. Bold tile flooring runs beneath me to a seating area filled with customers, most of whom

are engrossed in their computer screens. A flavor wheel hangs from the ceiling. The bold colors pop against the warm wood wall.

I step to the register, where thousands of decisions await. I’m planning on getting a black drip coffee. Whatever is available will probably be fine. Of course, at Bird Rock, there is usually more than one.

On the recommendation of the barista, I choose the light-roasted Ethiopia Andaracha. While he goes to pour, I mull over the multi-

tude of snacking options, including rich-looking pastries and wrapped cookies, bars and chips.

Behind the baristas is a quote painted on the wall: “When they want great coffee, give ’em the Bird.” I’d add great service to that commentary. Today, mine is excellent. It is busy, but I don’t feel rushed.

The service isn’t the only thing done well at this Bird Rock location. My coffee is well-balanced, light and flavorful. The sweet notes register with a hint of richness on the finish. I’ll be back again if I can find a spot in the lot.

and helps bring the outside in. From the patio, you can watch as challengers take on the golf simulator, as well as a TV if you’re there for the Masters. They don’t serve food, but chips and soda are available at the bar. Food trucks are available some of the time, mostly on weekends. The schedule is on their event calendar.

There are lots of golf-social-related opportunities, including simulator tournaments, leagues and outings for real-world golf that will inevitably end on the Dogleg patio.

Helia Brewing Co.

The first thing I’m struck by is the smell. It isn’t malt or hops. It is sage and rose. The landscaping in front of the building and wrapping around the patio is quite lovely. Inside the bar, the service is great. I’m greeted quickly, and all my annoying questions about the beer and brand are answered with a smile.

I take my Pescadito Mexican Lager outside, passing the Instagram-friendly murals of Helia, the feminine iteration of Helios, the Sungod of Greek myth, funky lighting and gaming lounge with ping-pong, foosball and community guitar.

I sit on a lounge chair with a comfortable soft cover that reminds me of the fluffy bathmats at my Aunt Sharon’s. I put my feet up on the concrete barrier surrounding the fire pit. It is comfortable in the shade of a lovely tree that centers the patio space — fire pit on one side, picnic tables and stage on the other. Wrap-

ping around the building to the entrance are a few extra chairs next to a big ol’ barrel.

On the other side of the fence and the landscaping is Keystone Way leading out to the busyness of Business Park Drive, but here on the patio, it is a quiet, calm oasis. The only sound is the buzzing of insects, the shifting leaves on the tree and indie rock music emanating from inside — Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Cold War Kids, Blitzen Trapper.

I move to an umbrella-shaded picnic table facing the simple stage and a wall mural of a woman cupping the sun that bleeds into a desert scene featuring healing crystals. Sipping my beer becomes an exercise in brewery meditation.

The Helia patio (and brewery space) is social media-friendly but without having lost its character. No small feat, indeed.

Takeaway: Helia’s patio is a relaxing space, but it is easy to imagine the energy of an evening concert taking the vibe up a notch. There is multiple fire pit seating areas for warmth, and they’ve taken time to create an oasis in the business park.

The patio hosts an eclectic list of events, including live music, bingo, comedy and even a mushroom cultivation class. Unfortunately, food trucks are available sporadically per their event calendar.

ROUND 1 WINNER: Helia Beer Co.

UNEXPECTED

SURPRISE: This week we had a big one. 24th seeded BattleMage Brewing Company no longer has a patio! It is being replaced by Local Roots Kombucha’s The Boochyard. Thanks to reader Eric W. for the recommendation.

Encinitas Ballet Academy fixtures to star in ‘Giselle’

die young. Known as the Wills, they rose from their graves and danced alone in the moonlight.

By Kaila Mellos

ENCINITAS – The Encinitas Ballet Academy has taught and guided its students for over 15 years. Next month, the academy is hosting a rendition of “Giselle” with two leading ballerinas who have been with them since the early days.

Sayat Asatryan and his wife, Olga Tchekachova, are professionally trained ballet dancers who love passing their knowledge to students. The two started the nonprofit Encinitas Ballet Academy in 2008, hoping to reach all age groups, from toddlers to adults.

The couple now teach around 100 students, including ballerinas Gabrielle Fish and Sejal Janaswamy, both 17, the lead ballerinas at

the June 3 performances of “Giselle” at the Ritz Theater in Escondido.

Fish will perform in the 1 p.m. show, and Janaswamy in the 5 p.m. show.

“Giselle” is a ballet based on a popular 19th-century theme of supernatural romance, stories of young girls whose love went unfulfilled, causing them to go mad or

This ballet is very dear to the teachers’ hearts as they have danced it before and now get to see their students perform it.

“I have been dancing with my wife for many years, and now we are passing this to our students. All of our students have been with us all these 15 years, especially these two,” Asatryan said. “We have two casts of the Giselles: Sejal and Gabrielle. These girls have been with me since around age 4 and 5.”

For Janaswamy, the performance has added meaning. Not only is this her last performance with Encinitas Ballet Academy, but she gets to dance with her mother. In “Giselle,” Berthe, the mother of Giselle, comforts her daughter on stage.

Asatryan said he asked Janaswamy’s mom, Sidney

Merritt, an anesthesiologist, to play the role. “‘You’ll be the best mom. I want you to be the mom on stage,’ he said he told her. “Every rehearsal, she cries; it’s very emotional.”

It’s emotional for Asatryan too. He has watched Fish and Janaswamy grow up in the academy. “I cannot stand sometimes in the rehearsal, because I’ll cry,” he said.

This performance is also special for Asatryan because the costumes being used are from a company of a friend in Ukraine.

“When the war started in Ukraine, my friends who make costumes and are the

directors of the costume company made our outfits for a previous performance of Cinderella,” Asatryan said.

“They had to have them transferred from Ukraine to Poland, then Poland to the United States. My colleague in Ukraine is also still dancing and teaching, so it’s a big help for them and us to support each other.”

Tickets for the June 3 performances can be purchased at encinitasballet. com.

Encinitas Ballet Academy students will also perform at the Vista Strawberry Festival on May 28.

sexually assaulted her twice last year.

In his statement, Fletcher, who was the former MTS chairman, denied her allegations and is “confident” the “truth will present a very different reality” once all communications are made public.

The lawsuit filed in San Diego Superior Court alleges sexual assault and battery and sexual harassment by Fletcher. It also names the MTS as a defendant and alleges sexual harassment, failure to prevent sexual harassment and retaliation, and whistleblower retaliation.

Fletcher denied Figueroa’s charges, claiming the affair was consensual.

On March 29, the same day Fletcher announced his resignation from the board, a second woman, Amanda Mansoorbakht, a former UC San Diego student, came forward with allegations of sexual harassment against Fletcher during a 2015 trip to Minnesota for his nonprofit, The Three Wise Men Foundation.

Days after news of the scandal broke, Fletcher entered into an out-of-state treatment facility for alcohol abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder.

“I am humbled that my wife and family continue to stand by me during these difficult times,” Fletcher wrote. “My family and friends deserve my full attention as I work to earn

back their trust and confidence.”

Figeuroa’s attorney Zach Schumacher responded to Fletcher’s statement to NBC 7, saying he was disappointed in the former supervisor’s remarks.

“It is disappointing that Mr. Fletcher continues to victim-blame, even amidst his forced resignation,” Schumacher said. “We look forward to conducting our own investigation, and we hope Mr. Fletcher will be cooperative as that happens. It is apparent that full accountability must come through the civil justice system.”

After news broke of the scandal, MTS released a statement saying no member of the executive manage-

ment knew about Figueroa’s claims or pending lawsuit.

However, Schumacher sent a 13-page demand letter to a MTS human resources officer on Feb. 17, six weeks before the lawsuit was made public, apearing to contradict the transit agency’s official statement.

On April 6, the MTS board of directors authorized an investigation into Fletcher’s conduct by independent counsel. The transit agency will also conduct its own investigation through its contracted law firm, according to media reports.

“It is the board’s intent that the findings of the investigation will be made public,” MTS interim chairman Stephen Whitburn said at a press conference.

“The board also instructed counsel not to protect any requests to indemnify or defend Nathan Fletcher. Mr. Fletcher failed to act in good faith, and in a manner we believe to be, in the best interest of MTS.”

Whitburn is also a named defendant and witness in a civil lawsuit from Oscar Rendon, who claims he was raped by former San Diego County Democratic Party Chairman Will Rodriguez-Kennedy last year.

The other four members of the County Board of Supervisors earlier this month voted unanimously to hold a special election on Aug. 15 to fill the District 4 seat vacated by Fletcher on Monday.

If no candidate receives a majority vote in the Aug. 15 primary election, a special general election would be held Nov. 7, according to county officials. Costs could range between $3 million and $5.2 million if the county conducts a primary and general special election.

“My colleagues and I voted to hold a special election to fill the vacancy on the board and now it's time for the residents of District 4 to decide who they want to represent them,” said Supervisor Joel Anderson.

Monica Montgomery Steppe, a San Diego city councilwoman, Marine Corps veteran Janessa Goldbeck and ReOpen San Diego founder Amy Reichert are also seeking the position.

It’s summertime — somewhere

Exiting the rainiest winter in years, we are now faced with a marine layer seemingly as impenetrable as a bulletproof vest.

Remember when June gloom was a condition as temporary as teen acne? Well, that got pushed back to another, now-familiar rhyme, May gray. Let’s hope we don’t have to find depressing rhymes for July, August or September.

Could this sheet metal roof continue across the state for all those months?

Global warming? I dunno.

I first heard that term along with a warning that we the people were cooking ourselves when I was at Maui Community College in 1969. The professor said we had 30 years left on the outside, before the world got third-degree burns.

Of course, they didn’t listen to the settled science, and each day for years I went to the beach looking for signs that sea levels were rising. I wouldn’t have taken a beachfront house in Del Mar if you gave it to me. (Okay, maybe if you gave it to me, even though I figured it was on loan and the balloon payment for burning all those fossil fuels was about to come due.)

I was called an extremist after I quit driving my car, using plastics and eating meat. I had become a global warming evangelist. I was convinced, but noting, not even a doubling of gas prices could break my

water spot

chris ahrens

friends’ four-wheel, oneperson-in-one-car dependence.

And there was no pushback at all against the cutting of trees, the housing tract boom or the paving of large tracks of land. By the time I gave up, deciding I could not beat them and would join them, the gas-guzzling, plastic-wrapped meatheads

of the world, they had all switched to electric cars while waving vegan forefingers in my face.

What to do? Well, I still detest plastic, try to moderate my driving, all the while hoping to leave a smaller footprint than the average flatulent sasquatch. I have eliminated most everything that might contribute to greenhouse gases except for exhaling.

Still as good as I try to be, and even with our combined Earth Day green resolutions, on this May 15, the day of this writing, the temperature has barely cracked 60 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about the same

temperature as the ocean.

It’s currently clear and 75 degrees in Cabo San Lucas. Mainland Mexico and Hawaii are probably even warmer.

Then there are those remote regions of the world that my friend Giles told me about. Places where the ocean never falls below 75 and the skies are not cloudy all day. Of course, there are bugs, sharks, long rainy seasons and the occasional government overthrow to contend with.

Right now, however, I don’t care. I will do just about anything to enjoy a few weeks of good, old-fashioned summer.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL

BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle

you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned o may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying o all liens senior to the lien being auctioned o , before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s o ce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA22-950873-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO

TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-950873-BF to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.

FOR RELEASE MAY 15, 2023

EDITORS: These horoscopes are for use the week of May 22, 2023.

LEGALS LEGALS LEGALS

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Single Lambs looking for love could find Cupid aiming at someone you thought (wrongly) was uninterested. Paired Sheep could soon make plans to move into new pastures.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Level that sharp Bull’s eye of yours directly at the target you’re after. Don’t let yourself get sidetracked by any misleading or deceptive attempts to distract you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Early enthusiasm gives way to a more reflective attitude, as you assess the potential of a new job. Avoid questionable advice. The ultimate decision should be yours.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might need to reassess the responsibility you’ve taken on. Consider delegating some of the tasks to people you trust and focus on those things you do best.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Don’t be shy about sharing new ideas with your workplace colleagues. Their warm reception and trusted support will soon have you purring with satisfaction.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) That uneasiness over a potential commitment should be confronted and dealt with realistically. Find out why you’re delaying an important decision.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your business venture gets back into high gear after a brief period of sputtering. Don’t be discouraged. Stay with it. Your hard work and patience will pay off.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Watch out for a tendency to let things slide in hopes that a problem will correct itself. You need to be more proactive than reactive if you want to see change.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A wilting relationship could recover and be coaxed back into full bloom, as long as there is a strong commitment to your partner to make the relationship your priority.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Before you accept a new job offer, check on the status of a promotion you were promised in your current workplace. Then, make a decision.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Expect to find yourself in a teaching situation on the job, which you will no doubt enjoy. Don’t be surprised if you get to learn a few things as well.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You’d love to make a big splash with your new project. But you’d be wiser to introduce it to your colleagues in a more restrained way and let it speak for itself.

BORN THIS WEEK: You’re a practical person who also has a sense of adventure. You have a capacity for leadership that others often tap in to.
