‘Pink’ Lawsuit

Judge backs parents

EUSD must notify for gender lessons

By Jordan P. Ingram

ENCINITAS — A federal judge has granted a request for a preliminary injunction prohibiting the Encinitas Union School District’s buddy program from teaching gender identity topics without first notifying parents and allowing them the opportunity to withdraw their children from the lesson.

The ruling is the latest development in a lawsuit filed by local parents last year alleging that a school mentor program violated their constitutional religious rights by exposing their children to gender identity content without prior notice or the ability to opt out.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, centers around activities at La Costa Heights Elementary School involving two fifthgrade students, identified in the complaint as S.E. and P.D.

The parents, Carlos and Jennifer Encinas and Tom and Rebecca Doe, claim their children were subjected to a curriculum that contradicted their Christian beliefs and were subsequently required “to affirm and teach the District’s views on gender identity to kindergarteners” as part of an activity based on a book called “My Shadow is Pink.”

The complaint alleges that on May 1, 2024, teachers required students, including S.E. and P.D., to participate in a mentoring activity related to the book, which explores TURN TO GENDER ON 6

Driver killed in predawn I-15 wreck

By City News Service

BONSALL — A motorist died on May 20 in a fiery predawn crash on Interstate 15 in northern San Diego County.

The victim was behind the wheel of a northbound Toyota Corolla that rear-ended a U.S. Postal Service tractor-trailer south of state Route 76 in Bonsall and caught fire shortly before 3 a.m..

The driver, whose identity was not immediately available, died at the

scene of the accident.

In Escondido, a 42-year-old hit-and-run suspect was arrested Wednesday in connection with a crash that killed a pedestrian last year in Escondido.

The crash occurred in the morning on Sept. 17 when the suspect, identified as Lair Marin Salas, an Escondido resident, fatally hit 58-year-old Miguel Leonides Garcia with a truck as he was walking to work.

City to build new fire station

San Marcos plans

Station 5 at former beer garden site

By Leo Place

SAN

MARCOS

— A

long-anticipated fifth fire station is coming to San Marcos at the corner of North Las Posas Road and Armorlite Drive, the site of the now-closed Karl Strauss beer garden.

The city finalized the $4.1 million purchase of the site in January. The site has sat empty since Karl Strauss closed The Outpost last August. Fire Chief Daniel Barron said the department was looking for an ideal site in the city’s northwestern area. This location gives access to the freeway and the Las Posas corridor and allows for backup to stations 1 and 2.

“We targeted that area and had a fairly sizable target range for where we wanted to end up, and we were able to find a location that was just incredible for access,” Barron said.

San Marcos fire personnel have been advocating for a new fire station for several years, as calls for service have nearly doubled since the last station was added in 2008.

The topic of a fifth station came up several times last year when the city was considering whether to place a local sales tax on the ballot to generate addition

al revenue for city services.

Barron said the new station will free up existing stations to focus on other parts of the city by filling a gap for services in the city’s northwestern area.

Station 5 will house a fire engine manned by three personnel, an ambulance with two personnel, and a battalion chief.

“The day that Fire Station 5 opens, it’s gonna be neck-in-neck with our busiest station, which is Station 1,” Barron said. “We are building that station for growth.”

In recent years, the department has added more ambulances to meet its coverage standards. Ambulances are needed for increasing numbers of calls, and wait times for them at hospitals are becoming longer.

The department aims for the station to open in three to four years. Barron said the project will likely cost $20 million to $25 million, requiring the city to be diligent about setting aside funds.

The City Council has already laid some of the groundwork. On Tuesday, the council agreed to allocate $8.1 million in appropriations for the project, using one-time funds from a loan repayment with interest from AOA San Marcos.

At the same meeting, the city also adopted its new Fire Hazard Severity

Cops, FBI nab fraud suspects

By Jordan P. Ingram CARLSBAD — Carls-

bad police, working with federal and county investigators, have arrested two suspects in separate elder fraud cases involving more than $140,000 in stolen cash and gold bullion.

The arrests, made in April and May, stem from two similar scams targeting elderly residents. In these scams, suspects posed as federal agents or fraud investigators and persuaded victims to surrender their savings under false pretenses, police said in a May 15 release.

In the first case, a Carlsbad woman was allegedly defrauded of roughly $121,000 after receiving a fake computer pop-up on March 24 directing her to call a phone number connected to individuals impersonating Apple and Wells Fargo security officials, police said.

The scammers allegedly told the victim that her identity had been compromised and convinced her to withdraw funds and purchase gold to “protect” her assets. Over several days, the victim placed the cash and bullion in shoeboxes and handed them to someone claiming to be a federal courier.

On April 3, Carlsbad police detectives arrested Tang Chen, 37, of Ontario, during a scheduled pickup at the victim’s home. He was booked into the Vista Detention Facility on sus-

picion of felony elder theft, obtaining money by false pretenses, and conspiracy to commit a crime.

In a separate case on April 29, another elderly Carlsbad resident reportedly received a phone call from someone claiming to be a Federal Trade Commission investigator named “Jack Brown.”

The scammer persuaded the victim to withdraw $10,000 in cash and deliver it to a person posing as a courier to secure an “American Depository Receipt, according to law enforcement.

On May 1, while police interviewed the victim, the scammer allegedly called again requesting another $10,000. Detectives prepared a decoy envelope containing fake $100 bills, which was picked up later that day by Gurjant Singh, 33, of Riverside County. Police tracked Singh and

cases. According to the San Diego Elder Justice Task Force, more than a thousand seniors across the region are targeted by these types of scams, resulting in over $100 million in losses annually, the agency said.

“No legitimate agency will ever ask for cash, gold, or personal assets to be handed over to a courier,” the agencies warned. “Residents are encouraged to verify suspicious claims with a trusted family member or local law enforcement before taking action.”

Beware rental scams

By Summer Stephan

As summertime approaches and you start surfing the internet for a new rental home or vacation rental, do you know how to tell whether you are dealing with a bad actor who hijacked a property listing?

Hijacked property listings involve targeting an actual rental listing and reposting it with the scammer’s e-mail and phone number.

When a potential renter shows interest, fraudsters rely on high-pressure sales tactics to create a sense of urgency, requiring a deposit to hold the property. Once the scammer receives the money, they disappear.

We all know that San Diego County housing is a precious commodity and usually comes at premium cost. Before you fall for a scam, do your due diligence to confirm the listing and the listing party are legitimate.

In the past, it was easier to identify scams. Scammers required money wires or cash, avoided in-person contact and refused to allow renters to tour a property without first paying a deposit — all red flags that

would have derailed the scam.

Ethical issue skews gas study

Academics have known for many years the potential for conflicts of interest when they conduct studies or write reports on products or companies for which they have consulted. That’s why they almost always disclose conflicts.

There is also no doubt of the strong link between the Saudi Aramco oil company and California’s biggest oil refiner, Chevron, known as Standard Oil of California when it co-founded (with Texaco and two others) just plain Aramco, the Saudi Arabian company’s name when the Americans got it going in the 1930s.

But now, those practices are normal and bad actors are taking advantage of the perfect storm that relies on electronic communication, the ease of electronic transactions such as Venmo or PayPal and avoids in-person interactions.

As new methods for conducting business change, it has become more difficult to identify rental scammers, but there are still some telltale signs of fraud. Here are some tips to evade rental scams:

• Be cautious of properties that are offered below market value. If it’s too good to be true, it likely is.

• Perform a reverse image search to see if the listing phots turn up in another online advertisement

• Use caution with ads that have significant grammatical errors or misspellings. A legitimate rental listing should be professional.

• Verify the rental by checking known real estate websites to ensure the home exists, is located at the listed address and is available as a rental.

• Do an online search of the rental company to see if

• Be cautious of high-pressure rental tactics requiring you to make a deposit or payment quickly. Speed and urgency are the fraudster’s tools.

• Meet your landlord in person. Avoid a completely cyber transaction which could make it difficult to identify the other party.

• Never make a deposit or payment before seeing the property and signing a lease.

• Make sure the owner or agent has access to the rental unit. Tour the unit or have someone you trust tour the unit.

• Don’t settle for an exterior tour.

• Never wire money or pay in cash, cryptocurrency or gift cards. Wiring money is the same as sending cash and impossible to recover.

If you were the victim of a rental scam, report the incident to your local police agency or request a San Diego District Attorney Real Estate Fraud Complaint Form at realestatefraudcomplaints@sdcda.org.

Letters to the Editor

Sara Libby’s May 17 San Francisco Chronicle column on Encinitas is a case study in journalistic malpractice. Her depiction of our community as a “rich beach town” waging an “anti-housing insurgency” is not only wrong—it’s offensive.

Encinitas is not some gilded fortress of wealth. It’s a diverse and eclectic coastal town, home to surfers, seniors, artists, small businesses, mobile home parks, modest apartments, and yes, single-family neighborhoods. Property values have risen over the decades — as they have across coastal California — but most longterm residents are not spec-

ulators or elitists. They’re families who love their community and want housing solutions that respect local context and infrastructure.

To reduce civic engagement and support for local control to a “temper tantrum” is a cheap rhetorical trick that ignores the real concerns behind it: the state’s increasingly authoritarian approach to housing policy. State mandates are stripping cities of planning authority while delivering little in the way of genuine affordability. That’s not NIMBYism. That’s rational skepticism.

Worse, Libby cherry-picks inflammatory comments and paints them as representative of an en-

tire city. That’s lazy at best, dishonest at worst. The suggestion that Encinitas residents oppose housing and helping the homeless is an unfair conflation — one that ignores the many efforts in the city to support transitional housing, services, and long-term planning rooted in compassion and accountability. California’s housing affordability crisis is real. But solving it requires more than soundbites and scapegoating. Demonizing cities like Encinitas may score ideological points, but it won’t build a single affordable home.

Fast forward to midApril, when television networks like ABC, CBS and Fox, plus Forbes magazine, covered a study by Michael Mische, an associate professor at USC’s Marshall School of Business, that predicted $8 per gallon gasoline in this state very soon.

There is no such thing as gas price gouging in California, Mische contended. As the New Jersey-based Forbes reported, “the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded (gasoline) in California was $4.67 –more than 55 percent above the national average.”

Forbes quoted from Mische’s report, titled “Ensuring California’s Gasoline Security for the 21st Century.” It “lays out a clear and compelling case for why California fuel costs are so high,” the reasons being structural, state policy driven and “deeply embedded in how the state regulates, produces and distributes gasoline.” It doesn’t help that California refineries ship large amounts to neighbor states.

Mische blamed environmental regulations, the state’s cap-and-trade program and seasonal gas blends as big causes of California prices, along with high taxes and fees, frequent refinery closures, declining in-state oil production and the fact there are no pipelines bringing gas here from other states. Other studies have indicated such factors account for about one-third of the price differential.

Mische denies oil companies collude to raise prices, despite phenomena like the huge price hikes of February 2023, when a single refinery outage shot pump prices up about $2.50 per gallon overnight — not just for the refiner with the outage, but for every brand of gas. The state then passed new laws aiming to punish such gouging and there have been no new incidents since.

Forbes said Mische included a disclaimer saying he “has not received any special compensation and has no promise or anticipation of future compensation

The upshot of Mische’s report is the new state laws are pointless because there is no gouging. This may surprise the more than 1 million Californians who received $21.65 apiece from the state in mid-May after a settlement reached by state Attorney General Rob Bonta with three gasoline trading firms that allegedly manipulated gas prices in 2016, during another refinery outage.

Now comes Jamie Court, president of the Consumer Watchdog advocacy group, which has documented how oil company profits set records whenever California gas prices spike.

Court obtained a copy of Mische’s resume and discovered the professor’s private consulting firm listed Saudi Aramco as a major client. That company and Chevron still have strong ties even though the Saudi government took ownership of Aramco decades ago.

The two companies also partner on advanced refinery technology. So there’s a direct link between California’s largest oil refiner and a major Mische client. This, of course, debunks Mische’s disclaimer about impartiality.

Wrote Court in a letter to USC officials, “There is no question that the policies Mische advocates (to the Legislature) will…benefit his client.”

Mische responded to an emailed query asking why he failed to disclose his tie to Saudi Aramco in the recent paper, saying he would shortly provide answers to the emailed questions. The answers did not arrive.

Policies he recommends include tax subsidies and other giveaways to both oil refiners and drillers. Said Court, “Sacramento lawmakers (were) unaware of Mische’s ties because of his failure to disclose them.

“There is no question Mische’s work would be looked at differently if people knew… In failing to (disclose), he dishonors USC and its tradition of ethics.”

The bottom line: The decades-long pattern of industry-wide price hikes when only one refinery has an outage makes it clear some kind of collusion and price gouging has long been at work.

Marines, Frontwave renew contract over pleas

Probes find new recruits saddled with hefty fees

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — The Marine Corps has renewed its contract with Oceanside-based Frontwave Credit Union despite Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-Massachusetts) plea to reconsider earlier this month over the financial institution’s “deeply exploitative overdraft practices.”

In a May 6 letter to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Warren cited findings that Frontwave, which serves service members at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, automatically enrolled recruits in checking accounts without adequately disclosing overdraft policies.

As a result, some Marines incurred high fees and, in some cases, became trapped in what Warren described as “a cycle of negative checking account balances.”

Warren’s investigation revealed that Frontwave customers paid an average of more than $200 annually in overdraft and non-sufficient fund fees.

According to documents obtained by Warren, the credit union’s agreement with the Department of Defense does not include terms governing such fees.

The third-term U.S.

senator called on the Pentagon to immediately review all agreements with financial institutions operating on military bases and to ensure they include safeguards against abusive banking practices.

In the meantime, Warren had asked the department not to renew its contract with Frontwave until those concerns were addressed.

“...The Department of Defense does not adequately protect service members from exorbitant overdraft fees in its contracting process,” Warren wrote in her May 6 letter. “I ask that the DoD act quickly to modify

and improve its agreements with Frontwave and other credit unions and banks to ensure that financial institutions do not take advantage of servicemembers, their families, and others serving on military bases.”

Last year, a KPBS investigation revealed that Frontwave has benefited from an exclusive agreement with the Marine Corps for at least 25 years. Each year, approximately 20,000 recruits train at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego.

The news outlet reported that the Marine Corps then sends many of those service members to Frontwave to process their paychecks.

The KPBS investigation also found that the credit union collects millions in overdraft charges from young recruits yearly, relying on the funds as a significant revenue source.

In 2024, Frontwave collected nearly $8.1 million from nonsufficient funds and overdraft fees, approximately 8.66% of the credit union’s total income, according to an annual report by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation.

The report showed that when a member’s account was overdrawn by more than $20, that member was

charged an additional $20 fee every time they made a purchase. The base pay for Marine recruits, some as young as 17 years old, is between $1,800 and $2,200 per month.

Frontwave CEO Bill Birnie previously told KPBS that overdraft fees are “an important source of income” for the company, but the act was not predatory in nature.

After the KPBS investigation, Warren launched her own probe into the matter, prompting other lawmakers to voice concerns.

In an April 2024 letter to Birnie, Warren and a bipartisan group of lawmakers — including Vice President JD Vance (then R-Ohio), Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut), Cory Booker (D-New Jersey), Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-California) — demanded answers to questions over “reports that your credit union

has exploited young service members by charging them millions of dollars in predatory and exorbitant overdraft fees.”

“Frontwave owes service members and the American public an explanation for its deeply exploitative overdraft practices that harm service members and their families,” the letter reads.

Over a year later, Warren called for a postponement when the Frontwave contract was up for renewal. However, the senator’s request was seemingly ignored after KPBS confirmed that the Marine Corps had recently renewed its contract with Frontwave.

The Coast News reached out to Frontwave and the Marine Corps for comment, but has not heard back. Rep. Mike Levin’s spokesperson declined to comment at this time. Rep. Darrell Issa did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Prop 1 funds to local projects

Interfaith denied allocation request for treatment site

By Leo Place REGION

— Two North County nonprofits are among the recipients of $3.3 billion in total state funding announced last week for behavioral health and substance use recovery projects.

In early 2024, California voters approved Proposition 1, which authorized a $6.38 billion general obligation bond known as the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) to fund behavioral health and substance use treatment beds and housing.

The state announced the first round of BHCIP funding awards on May 12, with six projects from San Diego County making the cut. In North County, Casa de Amparo received $19 million for a psychiatric residential treatment facility near San Marcos, and Epidaurus Amity Foundation was allocated $31 million to renovate and expand its Vista Ranch with a 40-bed adult residential substance use disorder treatment facility.

Casa de Amparo, a child abuse prevention nonprofit, will use the funds for a 16-bed psychiatric facility at their Buena Creek Road campus. The facility will offer short-term treatment to clients and community members ages 12 to 25, and is expected to open in the spring of 2028.

“We’re obviously very excited and grateful that the state has stepped in and shown that mental health is a priority for the state. As a small nonprofit, it’s hard to raise money, particularly for capital campaign projects,” said CEO Kathy Karpé.

Due to the lack of mental health treatment beds in the region, Casa de Amparo clients experiencing mental

health crises currently have to be sent to hospitals for treatment, Karpé said. By comparison, the new facility will provide a continuum of care on the campus.

“We help a lot of youth that have been removed from their homes due to severe abuse and neglect. The mental health challenges for them are just extraordinary. To be able to build a specialized facility that’s really a temporary home while they stabilize, helps us get to the root of what these issues are, and they can step down to a lower level of care afterwards,” Karpé said.

parolees. Their proposed project will expand the substance use disorder treatment facility at the 5-acre campus on Watson Way.

“It is exciting to see Prop 1 funds being leveraged to build a stronger and more equitable behavioral health system, keeping our communities healthy and safe through licensed residential substance use disorder treatment programs. Over three decades of doing this work, Amity Foundation has helped countless people commit to recovery, reunite with their families, and discover a sense of self-worth that gives them a second chance at living a fulfilled life,” Amity Foundation CEO Doug Bond said.

The County of San Diego also received a combined $29.7 million for a substance use recovery and treatment services facility in National City and a child crisis residential program in San Diego. Inner Tribal Wellness received $19.9 million for a wellness village in Pauma Valley.

GENDER CONTINUED FROM FRONT

themes of gender identity through the story of a boy who likes to wear dresses and play with girls toys. For the lesson, the students were partnered with kindergarten students as part of a buddy program.

The older students helped their younger buddies choose colors to represent their "personal sense of gender" and used chalk to illustrate those choices.

According to the lawsuit, S.E. and P.D. said they were uncomfortable with the content and felt compelled to affirm and convey views about gender views that went against their religious beliefs.

“Compelling individuals to mouth support for views they find objectionable violates the First Amendment,” wrote U.S. District Judge James Lorenz.

“In light of P.D.’s role in the class as his buddy’s mentor, P.D.’s presence next to his buddy during the read-along video presentation and subsequent tracing of his buddy’s shadow in the buddy’s chosen color implicitly conveyed P.D.’s endorsement of the message that gender can be a matter of one’s choice and subject to change — a message contrary to P.D.’s own beliefs and which he did not wish to convey to his buddy.”

The judge granted partial relief and limited the injunction only to the school’s buddy mentorship program.

After the parents notified the school about their concerns, teacher Sean Murphy, one of two educators who led the exercise, said he did not feel the topic was “too advanced for anyone because it was simply about embracing what you like and that is all.”

“The reason for choosing the book was for nothing more than … that I felt it was a good story about embracing who you are,” Murphy wrote in an email to the parents. “I truly felt this was a book that had a good message and would show the kids they can be proud of who they are regardless of what others say…I truly apologize for any discomfort that created and was not the intent.”

The Encinitas Union School District has maintained that its curriculum, including LGBTQ+ topics, is intended to create an inclusive environment for all students.

According to a statement cited in the complaint, the district said it is “committed to fostering an environment where every student feels seen and supported. We understand that these are sensitive topics, but we must also ensure that all children see themselves represented in their education."

The lawsuit states that the parents were ultimately told that the curriculum was non-negotiable and that if they wanted changes, they would need to advocate with state lawmakers.

In a letter to the par-

ents, Superintendent Andrée Grey noted the limitations of student and parent opt-out rights under state law.

“Please be aware the law does not broadly grant parents the right to opt out of any instruction that includes reference to gender-identity,” Grey wrote, adding that the Education Code section 51932(b) “does not apply to instruction, materials, presentations, or programming that discuss gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, relationships, or family and do not discuss human reproductive organs and their functions.”

Both families subsequently withdrew their children from La Costa Heights and enrolled them in private schools.

The issue of gender identity education in schools is not unique to Encinitas. In February 2024, the Georgia Board of Education upheld the firing of elementary school teacher Katie Rinderle for reading “My Shadow is Purple” to her class. The book addresses gender stereotypes and looking past the male/ female gender binary. Rinderle and the Georgia Association of Educators have since sued the school district for discrimination related to her dismissal.

Max Disposti, founder and executive director of the North County LGBTQ Resource Center, condemned the judge’s ruling as “biased, restrictive and narrow-minded,” arguing that attempts to restrict classroom discussions of gender identity are misguided and “dangerous” for LGBTQ and transgender youth.

“These conversations are not about sex or transition. We’re not talking about hormones or surgeries in kindergarten,” Disposti said. “We’re talking about identity, inclusion, and respect — the same way we talk about race or religion. California law protects gender identity like it protects race. The law is clear.”

Disposti criticized the misinformation being spread about early childhood education as part of a broader attack on the LGBTQ community, noting that state law does not mandate sex education in kindergarten.

“They’ve sexualized gender identity to scare people. But the real danger is silencing kids who already feel unsafe,” Disposti said. “The reality is you have trans youth. But what’s happening now pushes kids further into the shadows. It’s not just bullying from peers anymore — it’s fear of being outed by teachers or schools.

“This little ‘victory’ has, in reality, created more distance between parents and youth. No matter what you do, you cannot erase the existence of the LGBTQ community, trans youth and adults. You can legislate against us, but we will still exist.”

The alleged hazing incident occurred in March and prompted an investigation by the school district, with assistance from juvenile detectives from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office. The investigation was completed this month and turned over to the District Attorney’s Office for review.

According to Elan Zektser, an attorney representing one of the victims, hazing has been part of the team’s culture for years.

“At Fallbrook High School, for many years, coaches were allowing these minors to run around naked on the school premises,” Zektser said during a press conference at the district’s office earlier this month.

Zektser described players as either willingly or forcefully “running from one side of the field to the next” without clothing. He said his client refused to participate and was then cornered in an unsupervised locker room, where other players sexually threatened him.

“They locked the doors, they tackled him, they attempted to take his clothes off while they were yelling that they were going to rape him,” he said. “They themselves, a number of them, took their clothes off and attempted to put their penises in his face. Can you imagine how scared my client felt?”

Zektser said the threats continued via social media and text messages.

“We have those texts. The school has those texts,” he said.

One parent told FOX 5/

KUSI that his 14-year-old freshman son was among those accused and has since been suspended, removed from the team and banned from attending games.

Zektser placed blame on the school’s administration and athletic department.

“The athletic director knew what was happening and did absolutely nothing about it,” Zektser said, adding that the AD also served as the team’s coach.

The attorney said there are “dozens” of victims, including the perpetrators themselves.

In a statement released April 7, the Fallbrook Union High School District said it was recently made aware of the allegations and immediately launched an investigation.

“Student safety and well-being are the District’s top priorities,” the statement read. “The District cannot comment on the specific allegations or the corrective action that will be taken at the conclusion of the investigation due to student and staff privacy rights.”

The District Attorney’s Office said it cannot comment on juvenile cases for privacy reasons.

Zektser said his client has filed “government claims” in connection with the incident.

“We have to wait a certain amount of time, and a lawsuit will follow — and we will make changes,” he said.

City extends safe parking lot

Council backs statewide local control initiative

By Walker Armstrong ENCINITAS

— The Encinitas City Council voted unanimously May 14 to extend the city’s partnership with Jewish Family Service for its safe parking program through the end of 2025.

The decision followed a wide-ranging discussion on homelessness that touched on shelter availability, outreach efforts, and the city’s broader Homeless Action Plan.

“There was a question whether, for us, [Rancho Santa Fe] is included, whether Western Escondido was included, because those would skew the numbers,” Mayor Bruce Ehlers said. “But we assume 90% of the point-in-time count are in Encinitas.”

Anders responded by pointing to a map provided by the Regional Task Force on Homelessness that included broader census tracts outside the city limits, validating Ehlers’ concern that the reported numbers may reflect a wider area.

— City News Service Bomb threat

A bomb threat involving a passenger jet about to depart San Diego International Airport on May 20 led authorities to ground the flight before evacuating and searching the aircraft and its contents.

The emergency at the bayside air-travel hub began about 8:30 a.m., when a passenger aboard Honolulu-bound Hawaiian Airlines Flight 15 was overheard “making a threat to the safety of our aircraft,’’ airline spokeswoman Marissa Villegas said in a statement.

Officials with the San Diego Harbor Police Department officials told news crews the incident involved a bomb threat.

The passenger who allegedly made the remark did so while the airliner was in the process of “pushback from the (boarding) gate,’’ Villegas stated.

“As a precaution, the captain immediately taxied the Airbus A330 to a safe location on the airfield, where it was met with local and federal law enforcement and guests were safely deplaned,’’ she said.

A total of 283 passengers and 10 crew members were about to embark on the flight, according to the airline.

There was no immediate word on whether anyone was detained or arrested over the incident.

Policy and Housing Planning Manager Patty Anders updated the council on the city’s Homeless Action Plan, originally adopted in 2021 to guide local strategies to reduce homelessness. The plan focuses on increasing service capacity, reducing the number of people experiencing homelessness and expanding access to housing.

According to Anders, Encinitas saw an increase in both unsheltered and total unhoused individuals from 2023 to 2024, reflecting broader regional trends. Staff attributed part of this uptick to the geographical boundaries used for the annual pointin-time count, which include census tracts extending into inland North County areas.

Council members raised questions about the scope of that data, noting that the count appears to include areas outside of

Encinitas currently has exclusive access to 12 beds at the Buena Creek Navigation Center in Vista and served 56 residents there in 2024. Of those, 13 were placed in permanent housing and five were placed in temporary housing.

The report also highlighted Encinitas’ participation in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and its development of a “By Name List” to better coordinate services for the unhoused. Anders said this data-driven approach is essential for targeting support to the most vulnerable residents and meeting state and federal grant requirements.

Discussion on the city’s Jewish Family Service safe parking lot drew significant public input, with over a dozen speakers weighing in.

Border Patrol parody at CHS sparks confusion

Guest speaker dressed as federal agent with vehicle

By Walker Armstrong

CARLSBAD — A recent guest speaker event at Carlsbad High School sparked alarm and confusion among some students, parents and teachers after a man dressed in a Border Patrol-style uniform arrived on campus in a faux law enforcement vehicle.

But that’s only part of the story.

The May 9 event, which was held during longtime teacher Bruce Aster’s AP Government class, featured satirist and radio host Randy “R Dub!” Williams, self-declared sultan of the parody micronation Slowjamastan.

Williams was joined by Mark Corona, Slowjamastan’s chief border agent, who wore tactical gear and arrived in a white truck labeled “Porder Batrol,” a deliberately misspelled imitation of the federal law enforcement agency vehicle.

Corona told The Coast News that law enforcement officers have stopped to check out the truck in the past, but the interactions always ended positively.

The “Porder Batrol” vehicle is a clear parody, intentionally misspelled and satirical, with no ties to real

government or law enforcement.

“I’ve had nothing but positive encounters with folks, usually ending in requests for selfies with me and the truck,” Corona said. “Often I hand out small gifts and by the end of it all, new relationships are forged.”

A teacher at the school, who requested anonymity, said the truck arrived on campus with its lights and sirens activated before school hours, causing confusion among security staff and concern from some students.

After confirming they

were part of a pre-approved classroom visit, administrators reportedly allowed the visitors to stay, but asked that the truck be moved off campus.

“Other students saw the fake Border Patrol vehicle in the parking lot and expressed concern to the administration,” the teacher said. “The administration discussed and told the person to move their vehicle to the street.”

Williams said the class presentation had two parts. The first involved a discussion of the Montevideo Convention’s criteria for

eignty and legitimacy on the world stage.”

While many students reportedly engaged positively with the discussion, reports stated some found the presence of the Border Patrol-themed vehicle troubling, given the broader political context surrounding increased immigration enforcement and deportations under the Trump administration.

“I think at the high school level, we have guest speakers for clubs, we have guest speakers for classes, but having the vehicle, I think is a different type of line,” said the teacher. “Coming in costume is also a different line that’s being crossed.”

for even one student, then it’s time well spent.”

Still, others questioned the appropriateness of the imagery used, especially at a time when concerns about immigration enforcement are elevated and the district has previously affirmed protections for undocumented students.

“Students have the right to access school ... free from harassment, intimidation, all that stuff,” the teacher said. “And to me, having a fake Border Patrol, even if it’s a joke, a student might not think it’s a joke, that can be intimidating.”

statehood, using real-world examples and his own micronation.

Secondly, the personal stories from his travels to every country, a goal he completed in 2023.

“We examined real-world examples of partially recognized or unrecognized nations — Kosovo, Somaliland, Transnistria, Palestine and Vatican City — and then applied those same standards to my own micronation, Slowjamastan,” Williams said. “The exercise encouraged students to think critically about what defines sover-

Williams, who said he has spoken in classrooms since 1998, emphasized the intent was educational and lighthearted.

“I would argue the socalled ‘concern’ came from one person with a little too much time on her hands and a lack of understanding of satire,” Williams said. “We were asked to move the truck shortly after we arrived, and we did without hesitation.”

According to Williams, the presentation took roughly 10 hours of personal time and was intended to inspire students.

“As a kid, I still remember the few guest speakers who sparked something in me,” he said. “If I can be that

Carlsbad High School Principal Julie Redfield, in a brief email to The Coast News, stated, “We addressed any concerns that were brought to our attention as needed.” Redfield mentioned that the district had been informed but did not elaborate further.

The Carlsbad Unified School District did not respond to requests for comment.

Williams said the group often appears at community events, including charity car shows and parades, and is generally well-received by the public.

“People love the Porder Batrol truck and The Chief, who regularly passes out free bottled water and other small gifts,” he said. “It is commonplace for folks to request selfies with the truck and our ‘chief.’”

The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certi ed or cashier’s check.

If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15 day increments for a fee of: $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certi ed or cashiers check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the Foreclosure Commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, o er the property to the second highest bidder for

an amount equal to the highest price o ered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein.

HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certi ed or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage Deed of Trust is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is based on the nature of the breach, this loan is not subject to reinstatement.

A total payo is required to cancel the foreclosure sale or the breach must be otherwise cured.

A description of the default is as follows: FAILURE TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE AND ANY OUTSTANDING FEES, COSTS, AND INTEREST WHICH BECAME ALL DUE AND PAYABLE BASED UPON THE DEATH OF ALL MORTGAGORS.

Chamber honors Rising Stars

By Leo Place VISTA —

The Vista Chamber of Commerce honored 34 local students last week as part of the 2025 Rising Star Program, giving out an all-time high in scholarship dollars with $61,000 in awards.

The Rising Star Program recognizes high school seniors from across Vista who have “overcome challenges, demonstrated exceptional character, and made a positive impact on their schools and community,” according to the chamber.

The chamber honors Rising Stars of the Month throughout the year, culminating in the Rising Stars of

the Year event. This year’s event was held on May 9 at the Morris B. Vance Community Room at Vista City Hall.

Scholarships are awarded to help students pursue their post-secondary goals, whether that be college, trade school, vocational training or other opportunities. Funds are donated by the City of Vista, local businesses, organizations and individual donors.

“Scholarships say that we are all investing in you and your future. We support you, we believe in you and we love you! When you’re done with school, come back to Vista to share your talents with us,” Vista

Remembering

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our beloved dog, Maggie, a Corgi–Border Collie whose heart was as big as her personality.

Maggie crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Saturday, May 10, 2025 leaving behind paw prints on the hearts of everyone who had the joy of knowing her.

From the moment Maggie joined our family, her vibrant spirit and superior intelligence made it clear that she wasn’t just a dog—she was a once-ina-lifetime family member who is forever embedded deeply within our hearts. To say she was strongwilled is an under-statement. With the loyalty of a Border Collie and the adorable stubbornness of a Corgi, she brought joy, mischief, and unwavering love into every corner of our lives.

Maggie was a master of many things, including herding anything that moved in her younger days, and outsmarting her humans at every turn. But mostly it was the intensity of her stare when she wanted something, whether it be her treats, meals, or just attention that made her unique. She had a sense of humor all her own and was incredibly affectionate. She loved to be hugged and would burrow into you

Chamber CEO Rachel Beld said at the May 9 ceremony.

Rising Star awardees are selected by school staff at each of the local high schools. The following awardees were each given a $4,000 scholarship: Christopher Elana, Alta Vista High School; Nahshon Strickland, Guajome Park Academy; Moises Sanchez, Major General Murray; Joshua Amador, Mission Vista High School; Daniel Gonzalez, Rancho Buena Vista High School; Angela Flores Guzman, North County Trade Tech; Nayleen Griffith, Vista High School; and

Maggie

when cuddled. Maggie was allergic to bees and was stung early in her life. She was smart enough to understand that and forever afterward would bark in a very specific way whenever she saw a dead or dying bee on the ground, inevitably to warn us. We called it her “bee” bark. She was our sunshine and the light of our life. Maggie was with us through life’s highs and lows, always offering comfort without needing to say a word. Her presence brought peace, her antics

brought laughter, and her absence now brings tears. But even in our grief, we are endlessly grateful for the 16 years we shared. She passed peacefully in our home, surrounded by love with her canine sister Gracie, her mom Candace, her dad Max, and brother Colton. Her eyes closed knowing she was cherished—every day of her life. Maggie, thank you for the love, the lessons, and the laughter. You were more than we could have ever hoped for, and we will carry you with us always. Rest easy, sweet girl.

bed substance use disorder treatment facility proposed by Interfaith Community Services for a church site off West Mission Road.

Over the past month, the project has drawn scrutiny from community members due to its close proximity to several schools. The allocation of Prop 1 funds would have also allowed the project to move forward by right, meaning that it would have had to be approved ministerially by the city.

Interfaith CEO Greg Anglea said they will continue working to make the project a reality and expressed gratitude to San Marcos United Methodist Church, where the facility was proposed, for its partnership.

“While the outcome is disappointing, especially in the face of the urgent need for recovery services in

Mike Sannella has formally filed candidacy paperwork for the city’s mayoral seat in 2026, he announced May 14, as current Mayor Rebecca Jones sets her sights on a county supervisor run. A freshman council member elected in 2022, Sannella said running for mayor felt like a natural next step, considering his years of leadership in local government and local organizations.

years of service on the City Council, including her past seven years as mayor. If elected, he plans to carry on her philosophy of remaining “laser-focused” on core city services.

“Anybody who ends up our next mayor is gonna have huge shoes to fill. Mayor Jones has done a wonderful job for a very long time,” Sannella said. “I think she is someone that I’ve learned a lot from, and also somebody that I think has really shown the right way to be a mayor of a city.”

Jones, for her part, said she fully supports Sannella’s candidacy.

His candidacy also comes after discussions among local Republicans about the need for a succession plan on the council, as Jones prepares to run for the District 5 supervisor seat and District 4 City Councilmember Ed Musgrove prepares to run for the 40th Senate District.

“With members of our council deciding to run for higher office and going in different directions, it forced us to think about it a little bit earlier than normal,” said Sannella, who is currently deputy mayor.. “It was kind of a natural step, but at the same time, it was an important one in our city. We do need to make sure there’s a succession plan.”

Sannella previously held office on the Vallecitos Water District board for eight years and has also served as a city planning commissioner, vice president of the San Marcos Economic Development Corporation, and vice president of San Diego County Crime Stoppers.

He has lived in San Marcos since 1996 and attended Cal State San Marcos.

Sannella commended Jones for her nearly 20

North County, we remain steadfast in our commitment to expanding access to compassionate care across our region through collaborative partnerships,” Anglea said. “This project was always about possibility: the possibility of healing, of recovery, of new beginnings. That mission hasn’t changed. We’re continuing to explore future opportunities and will move forward with the same dedication to dignity, safety, and hope.”

Interfaith requested BHCIP funding to cover 90% of the total project cost, estimated to be between $40 million and $60 million.

San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones assured residents on May 13 that the project will not be able to move forward as a by-right at this point in time and will instead have to meet the city’s land use standards.

“I have no reservations of being able to step away and know the city is in good hands,” Jones said. “They need someone and deserve someone who is gonna represent them in a way that is befitting to the office, and that’s somebody who is gonna be an adult, and not fight, and work for the betterment of the community.”

As mayor, Sannella said his priorities will continue to align with what the city has been focusing on — supporting high-quality parks and recreation, improving traffic flow, investing in crucial infrastructure, ensuring that city services meet the growing needs of the Cal State San Marcos population, and fiscal responsibility.

Also in 2026, Jones is running against Vista Mayor John Franklin for the District 5 supervisor seat to replace termed-out Supervisor Jim Desmond, who has announced a campaign for the 49th Congressional District.

Musgrove is running against former state Assembly candidate Kristie Bruce-Lane and San Diego City Councilmember Marnie von Wilpert for the 40th Senate District seat, currently held by Brian Jones.

“The Prop 1 funds are not gonna be available, so that brings everything back to land use authority under the city of San Marcos,” Jones said.

Many residents have expressed frustration about being blindsided by the proposed project, and say the city should have done more to oppose it due to the potential risk to children. In early April, the City Council approved a memorandum of understanding with Interfaith and the church outlining operating standards for the facility, but did not discuss it at all.

Since then, over 1,500 people have signed a petition opposing the project.

“There has been a troubling lack of transparency, and the behind-closeddoors approach may meet the minimum requirements, but it betrays the trust of the people that you represent,” said resident Matthew Sembach.

Pets of the Week

FORSETI is Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s pet of the week. He is a 4-year-old, 11-pound, male domestic short hair cat.

Forseti’s story begins in Hawaii where his owner surrendered him and two other cats to the Kauai Humane Society. He was moving and could not take his cats along.

When nobody adopted Forseti from the crowded shelter, he was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters.

Forseti is a bit shy as he still adjusts to life on the mainland. He needs a patient family.

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

For information about adoption or to become a virtual foster, stop by Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza St., Encinitas, call 760-753-6413 or visit SDpets.org.

KRIS is the Helen Woodward Animal Center’s pet of the week. He is a 5-month-old, 40-pound male Labrador retriever blend with a black coat.

According to the animal center, Kris has loads of energy and is a passionate fan of playing fetch. When he gets tired, he is a big fan of rolling around in the grass, going on walks and cuddling up with his favorite people.

All pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center are altered and upto-date on vaccinations and micro-chipped for identification.

Visit Helen Woodward Animal Center at 6523 Helen Woodward Way in Rancho Santa Fe. Kennels are open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (By appointment only.) For more information about adoption fees, call 858-756-4117, option #1 or visit animalcenter.org.

FLAME is the San Diego Humane Society’s pet of the week. He is a 2-year-old male domestic short hair mix cat with an orange coat. Flame is an affectionate cat who adores receiving attention. He has done well with another cat before, so another cat in the home should be fine. Along with lots of attention, Flame also likes snacks. His adoption fee is $75. He is available for adoption at the Oceanside campus. Fees include spay/ neuter services, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, an incentive for pet insurance from MetLife and a license for residence in the city limits of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, Escondido, Oceanside, Poway, San Diego, San Marcos, Santee, Solana Beach and Vista.

Death of likes, follows

By Phil Hudson

‘Oh, no! My post only got 26 likes!” Sound familiar? If you’ve been using social media in any capacity since 2008, you’ve had it beaten into your head that likes and follows matter.

Yet, more than likely, you’ll post content to your social media profiles like Facebook and Instagram only to find you get little to no traction.

Good news! You aren’t alone, and this is by design. Based on behavior and engagement data analysis we’ve seen a trend of organic engagement (non-paid follower or search based likes and follow) trending dramatically down.

How low can they be?

Try an average of 3%.

To put that into perspective, if you worked hard to grow a Facebook following of 10,000 people and posted a video to your profile without “boosting” it with any ad supported dollars, you should only anticipate 300 people seeing your post, let alone liking and commenting.

In 2025, you cannot operate on the assumption that a large following matters beyond social proof (inherent trust based on what other people do).

If you want your content to reach new people, let alone your own followers, you need good, high quality, story focused content that draws engagement, and then you need an ad supported content strategy to break through the noise.

That’s right, we now live in a world of pay-toplay, and simple “boosts” are the expensive approach to getting your message out.A refined and custom-tailored approach with a knowledgeable Social Ad agency can help your content reach qualified, targeted audiences for pennies on the dollar.

In exchange you’ll build raving fans for your brand, stay top of mind in a noisy market, and convert customers without shoving conversion ads down their throat.

Don’t give up on social media, but if you’re struggling to reach people with your content consider a smart approach to Social Ads to maximize your impact and you’ll also gain new followers, and increase likes at the same time.

Coming soon to an empty wall near you

My bride and I recently celebrated our anniversary with an Italian vacation, and I had to promise I’d do no work while traveling.

Still, the 4-hour layover at London’s Heathrow Airport made it tough to ignore the full walls of messaging for HSBC Bank.

Some ads were in the terminal, where 84 million passengers might see them each year. But the real news was the advertisements wallpapering the jetways inside and out.

HSBC had found a way to be in the right place at the right time to talk to

What is going on with the airlines?

I’ve gotten older, and now my eyesight, hearing, memory and response time aren’t what they used to be — and they want to make me an air traffic controller? Seriously?

And what is going on with the rampers? (You know, the guys with the long red flashlights.) Their job is to coordinate the movement of planes on the ground. I looked at one of them and I swear, he looked so dumb I don’t think he could find his hind end with both hands and a road map. (Oh, I feel safe now!)

Then the flight attendants give the safety demo. They point out the exits and advise that in case of emergency, please calmly proceed to the exits and calmly deplane. The heck with that — if we all push and shove, we’ll get out much faster. Then they tell us if the cabin loses pressure, oxygen masks will drop down — put it on and continue to breathe normally. Breathe normally? If those masks ever actually dropped, you wouldn’t be able to breathe at all because that cabin would be full of you-know-what. Why drop oxygen masks in an emergency anyway? They should drop horns — at least you could honk if you love Jesus and maybe have a fighting chance. And what’s going on with all the planes lately? They’re skidding, catching fire, dropping parts, flipping over and colliding with each other. If you eat dinner on a plane, it might be your Last Supper. (Maybe that’s why they serve wine.)

HSBC is following this strategy on thousands of jetways in 81 countries and territories. This effectively shuts out competition and ensures they’re seen by even casual observers looking out the window.

Studies show 92% of business travelers respond to airport advertising, so obviously HSBC is on to something.

The Spectacle of It All

Odd Weaponry

Aidan Orion White, 25, of Auburn, Nebraska, went to jail on April 28 on charges of felony assault after he struck Saundra Lunzmann, 37, and her daughter, 7, with his “Star Wars” light saber. The little girl was playing with other children when White allegedly hit her, The Smoking Gun reported. When the mother yelled at him, he charged her and struck her in the arm with his weapon. Both victims said they experienced pain from the attacks. Police seized the “higher quality device ... constructed of metal and thick plastic” after White admitted hitting the victims, whom he blamed for a rise in his rent.

Saw That Coming

In an astonishing patch of bad luck -- or was it? -- an 83-year-old driver from Pomona, New York, has run his car into the same bank, with the same car, on the same day of the week twice within six weeks.

The Briarcliff Daily Voice reported that on May 2, an unnamed driver ran into the Webster Bank in Nanuet and sustained minor injuries.

The same driver also hit the bank on March 21, crashing through a plate-glass window in the front of the building. In the latest incident, the car crashed through the plywood covering the damage from the first hit.

After the March crash, the driver said he thought his car had been in park when he stepped on the gas. He mistook the brake for the accelerator in the second incident. [Briarcliff Daily Voice, 5/2/2025]

SANDAG seeks feedback on new rail options

By Leo Place

DEL MAR — Nearly one year after asking the public for feedback on realignments for the rail corridor through Del Mar, SANDAG is repeating this process for a second time with a revised set of rail alternatives before moving into the environmental review phase.

The new notice of preparation (NOP), issued May 16, initiates a 45-day public comment period before SANDAG can begin work on the draft environmental impact report (EIR) for a proposal to relocate 1.7 miles of the LOSSAN (Los Angeles-San Luis Obispo-San Diego) rail corridor off the failing Del Mar bluffs and further inland.

Within the draft EIR, SANDAG must study a “reasonable range” of alternatives in addition to a nobuild option.

Progress on the environmental review process halted last year following strong pushback to the three proposed alternatives in the first NOP. In the fall, SANDAG initiated a value analysis process with several stakeholders, including the Fairgrounds and the cities of Solana Beach and Del Mar, exploring 16 broader route options.

SANDAG staff then refined these concepts into the four options that the SANDAG board of directors approved in March.

This new NOP outlines four alternatives plus a nobuild option to be considered within the draft EIR: one route running under

Crest Canyon in Del Mar, one under Camino Del Mar, one starting at the San Dieguito Bridge and running east to Interstate 5, and an option to keep the tracks on the bluffs with double-tracking and continued stabilization.

Comments regarding the NOP will be accepted until June 30. A public scoping meeting will be held on May 29 from 6-7:30 p.m. at The Sound at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Bridge to I-5

The San Dieguito Bridge alignment would begin at the south end of the San Dieguito Rail Bridge, which will be reconstructed as part of the San Dieguito Double Track Project. The route would continue south to pass over Jimmy Durante Boulevard and then over Racetrack View Drive on a bridge.

It would then enter a north tunnel portal in Crest

Canyon Open Space Park south of Racetrack View Drive, and head southeast in a tunnel along I-5 before exiting a south portal at a knoll along the highway, and rise above ground to connect to the existing tracks north of the Sorrento Valley Station.

The NOP also describes another design variation for the northern end of the alignment, where it would transition from the planned special events rail platform — also part of the San Dieguito Double Track Project — rather than the south end of the rail bridge.

This alternative would stretch 5.3 miles and cost between $3.7 billion to $5

billion.

Crest Canyon

This alternative would descend immediately south of the new San Dieguito Rail Bridge and enter a north tunnel portal under Jimmy Durante Boulevard near the intersection with Camino del Mar.

It would continue southeast beneath Crest Canyon and exit the south portal at the knoll near I-5 south before rising above ground to connect to the existing tracks north of the Sorrento Valley Station.

This route would be approximately 5.1 miles long and cost $3.7 billion to $5 billion.

Camino del Mar

Like the Crest Canyon alternative, the Camino del Mar alternative would descend immediately south of the new San Dieguito Rail

Bridge and enter the north tunnel portal under Jimmy Durante Boulevard.

It would then continue south, mainly following under Camino Del Mar, and exit a south portal near the intersection of North Torrey Pines Road and Carmel Valley Road. The tracks would continue on the bridge over Los Peñasquitos Lagoon and rejoin the existing railway.

This alignment, stretching around 4.9 miles, would also double-track the existing rail bridge across Los Peñasquitos Lagoon, requiring the berm to be widened and raised. The cost of this route ranges from $3.3 billion to $4.4 billion.

Bluff Double Track

Also known as the non-tunnel alignment, this option would keep the tracks at their current location along the bluff, add a second track to achieve double-tracking, and increase bluff stabilization infrastructure.

This alignment would also involve lowering the tracks into a trench south of the Camino Del Mar roadway bridge so that they pass under Coast Boulevard, removing the current atgrade roadway crossing.

Costs for this route would be at least $1.9 billion.

Next steps

SANDAG will commence technical studies in the summer to evaluate potential impacts on air quality, noise, traffic, water and biological resources, visual character, property, and other elements. These effects will be outlined in the draft EIR, which will be circulated for public comment.

SANDAG officials have emphasized that the project is still very early in the environmental review phase, and the routes could still be changed or altered with further study. The final EIR will take around three years to complete, according to agency officials.

“Refinements to the alternative concepts will continue to be made throughout the environmental process based on technical engineering and environmental analysis, public feedback, and the direction of the SANDAG Board,” SANDAG said in a press release.

SANDAG is currently utilizing $300 million

in state funds, obtained by former state Sen. Toni Atkins in 2022, to complete the environmental process and advance engineering work. The funds will expire in 2027, and according to SANDAG, $21 million had been spent as of February.

The agency has not identified any funding for the construction of the project.

The SANDAG board will decide the final route. The North County Transit District, which owns and operates the railroad rightof-way, will also have to sign off on whatever path is chosen.

At an NCTD Board of Directors meeting on Friday, NCTD CEO Shawn Donaghy said now is the time for board members to make their voices heard regarding the NOP. However, he said the agency will also need to be careful about any official stances regarding proposed routes at this point.

“We as an agency have to be very careful with the comments that we give, because at the end of the day, we as the agency will have sort of the overriding decision over whether we think that’s the best course of action because it’s our railroad,” Donaghy said.

In addition to protecting the rail from the impacts of climate change, including sea level rise and bluff failure, the LOSSAN Rail Realignment project is also intended to increase the capacity, reliability and speed of passenger and freight rail.

Other project objectives included in the NOP are:

• Minimize impacts to homes, businesses, tourism and economic generators such as the Del Mar Fairgrounds

• Avoid negative impacts on biological, cultural, recreational and historical resources

• Improve coastal access and safety by eliminating at-grade railroad crossings and minimizing points of interaction between rail and other modes of transportation

• Accommodate direct rail access to the 22nd District Agricultural Association

• Delivering the project in a timely way that considers prior and ongoing investments, construction, right-of-way, operations, and maintenance costs.

CHS boys volleyball wins county Open Division title

By Noah Perkins

CARLSBAD — After 19 straight match wins — not once going to a fifth set — top-seeded Carlsbad faced its toughest challenge yet Saturday night at Francis Parker’s Vassiliadis Family Gymnasium, edging Torrey Pines in a five-set battle to claim the CIF San Diego Section Open Division boys’ volleyball championship.

“Our goals were to go undefeated in league and to win CIF,” said Lancers firstyear head coach Annette Bashford. “From Day 1, that was the expectation, and that’s what we worked for.”

Coastal League rivals Carlsbad, which finished 8-0 in league play, and Torrey Pines clashed twice during the regular season. On April 17, the Lancers earned a 3-1 win on the road, taking sets one, three, and four by scores of 25-12, 25-18, and 25-17.

Just five days later, the rematch ended in a Lancers sweep: 25-20, 25-14, and a dramatic 31-29 third set, setting the stage for their third and final meeting.

In the Open Division final, Carlsbad raced to a 2-0 lead with wins of 25-18 and 25-23. But the momentum shifted as the Falcons surged back to take the next two sets, 25-20 and 25-15, marking the first time the Lancers were pushed to a fifth set all season.

In the decider, Carlsbad regrouped and dominated, closing out the match with a commanding 15-5 finish to clinch the title.

“This is a talented, very senior heavy team,” Bashford reflected. “These boys just were not going to take anything but a win.”

Last year’s Open Division champion, Torrey Pines is the first team since 2017 to come back from a two-set deficit and push the section final to a decisive fifth set.

“That was a new experience for us,” Bashford said. “They made some great adjustments to our offense, and it took us a minute to respond — but I’m really proud of our boys for digging deep. We’d never gone five sets before, and as a staff, we told them going into the fifth, it was time to shift momentum and take care of business.

“They came out hot, and by the time Torrey Pines called their second timeout at 8-2, I knew it was going our way.”

The section championship is the third in Lancer volleyball history and the first since 2016.

Senior outside hitter Roman Payne, an imposing 7-foot presence and University of Hawaii commit, delivered a standout performance with 17 kills. Payne’s impact was especially meaningful after missing last year’s semifinals due to his commitment to Team USA’s under-19 squad; in his absence, Carlsbad fell in five sets to Cathedral Catholic.

&

“He’s really unstoppable in the middle and so consistent — night after night, Bashford said. “He competes hard, takes every game seriously, and always wants to win. As long as we stay in the system, we know he’ll take care of the job.”

Lancers senior middle blocker Oliver Doty, a 6-foot7 Harvard commit, added 14 kills and five blocks, while fellow senior outside hitter Derek Bashford, son of the head coach, contributed 15 kills, three digs and two blocks.

“Sometimes I wish I could watch from the stands; it’s hard for me to fully enjoy the moment while coaching,” Bashford said.  “But he’s been so wonderful and he’s able to take anything I have to say and respect it as coming from his coach not his mom. It has been a really special and treasured experience that I’ll never forget.”

Carlsbad senior right side hitter Nate Hedgecock rounded out the scoring with five kills, and Bashford singled out junior setter Ben Saurwine as this season’s unsung hero.

“He’s the quarterback of our team — a quiet leader who gets the job done, maintains order, and reliably runs our offense,” Bashford said. “His smart setting choices spread the offense, force

blockers to play honest, and create one-on-ones for our hitters.”

Carlsbad’s championship run began with a strong showing against Granite Hills in the opening round, sweeping 3-0 with set scores of 25-22, 25-21, and 25-20. Next, they outlasted Francis Parker in a 3-1 victory, edging Parker 25-22, 25-18, dropping a tight 24-26 set, then closing out 25-19.

Momentum grew as the Lancers dominated the semifinals with another 3-0 sweep of Francis Parker, winning 25-22, 25-19, and 25-16 to punch their ticket to the final.

“We never talked about regionals — our goal was CIF, and we didn’t want to look past it because volleyball is a game of momentum where any talented team can win on any night,” Bashford said.

That proved to be the case on Tuesday night when the third-seeded Lancers (35-3) were upset at home by sixth-seeded Corona del Mar in the state Division I tournament. The four-set loss ended Carlsbad’s 20-match win streak.

In another state Division I match Tuesday, fourth-seeded Torrey Pines (33-9) lost in straight sets at home to fifth-seeded Newport Harbor.

Beshock Ramen & Sake delights in Carlsbad

Well, first off, when I heard there was a hot new ramen joint at The Shoppes at Carlsbad, my uninformed mind went to some kind of grouping of quaint stores in Carlsbad Village. As my navigation took me closer to my destination, I thought something was off as I was approaching a fullon shopping mall, something I’ve not experienced in years.

But alas, the navigation was spot on, and I was directed to a bustling parking lot and realized this would be my first Lick the Plate feature in an old-school mall, complete with national anchor tenants like JCPenney and Macy’s, but with touches of the modern mall with attractions like the Pickleball Club.

I did not have to enter the mall to get to Beshock as it is on the outer perimeter with an outside seating area. But for all you mallgoers, consider this fine restaurant another reason to visit The Shoppes at Carlsbad.

This new player in North County’s ramen scene got its start in downtown San Diego’s East Village on Market Street going back to 2016. It has roots in Japan, where co-owner Ayaka Ito’s family runs a restaurant in Nagoya.

Co-founded with Masaki Yamauchi, Beshock opened at The Shoppes at Carlsbad in February. The name Beshock derives from the Japanese term “bishoku,” which translates to gourmet food or delicacies. Bi-shoku refers to the pursuit of delicious and beautiful food.

The Japanese archi-

tecture firm Nonstyle designed the 1,750-squarefoot space that features an industrial feel and graffiti-style art. Booths, a sake bar and an outdoor patio provide a nice variety of seating options. Ramen is the star at Beshock, and their Nagoya Tonkatsu ramen is a Japanese dish characterized by its rich, creamy pork bone broth, simmered for over 10 hours to extract collagen and create a thick, velvety texture.

The dish refers to the Japanese phrase “tonkot-

su,” meaning pork bone. In my opinion, a solid pork broth has similar healing properties as the chicken soup from La Especial Norte or similar Mexican soup spots around San Diego.

The Nagoya Tonkatsu Ramen is one of the best bowls of ramen I’ve had anywhere. It’s house-made tonkotsu broth with shio base, gyokai (fish oil), pork chashu, green onion, menma (bamboo shoots), half egg and nori. Chashu pork is a Japanese braised pork belly and a popular ramen

topping.

It’s slow-braised pork belly in a sweet and salty liquid, including soy sauce, sake, mirin, and aromatics like green onion and ginger. The pork has a meltin-your-mouth texture and rich flavor and well, hearty enough to take half of it home and eat for breakfast the next day.

And at $15.95 for two meals, it’s a hell of a value. I would actually say the same if I devoured it in one sitting. Other ramen options include spicy miso, creamy vegan and chicken-based varieties.

I should mention that they offer specials on occasion and one I just noticed that looks amazing is their Beef Rib Ramen with beef broth, truffle soy sauce, sizable bone in beef rib, half egg, garlic chips, broccolini and green onion, and oh my does it look fabulous!

Sushi rolls are available as well, and I tried a Spicy Tuna Roll and for $10 that was a nice value as well.

Rice bowls including a Japanese Curry Bowl, Salmon Poke Bowl, Pork Katsu Curry, Karage and more look like solid options as well.

The Nagoya Karaage Bowl looks amazing with Japanese fried chicken marinated in a sweet and savory Nagoya style sauce served over rice with dressed spring mix and red ginger with a side of yuzu aioli.

I’ve always enjoyed a solid Katsu Curry and the Pork Katsu Curry Bowl at Beshock does not disappoint. It’s authentic Japanese curry over a bed of rice with house-made pork katsu cutlet and a side of fukujinzuke – translated into pickled veggies.

Appetizers abound, ranging from Nagoya-style wings to homemade Pork Gyoza, Takoyaki and Yellowtail Sashimi, Brussel Sprouts, Dirty Fries and Salmon Ceviche.

And then they have an elevated Sake element that itself seems to be a big draw as the bar was full of folks partaking enthusiastically.

They employ a certified kikizakeshi, the equivalent of a sake sommelier. Their hand-selected list for Beshock can be sampled in flights.

I’ve always had a thing for Japanese desserts as they are just so different and fun. Mochi is probably the most well-known and

they offer green tea, mango, strawberry and chocolate in their four-piece dessert.

Another option, Matcha Monaka, is a Japanese-style ice cream sandwich with matcha ice cream between two thin crisp wafers made from mochi topped with chocolate shell syrup.

UCSD scientists create gel to attract baby coral

SNAP-X may help encourage new reef growth

By City News Service

SAN DIEGO — Re-

searchers at UC San Diego have developed a substance that can attract coral larvae, which could overcome an obstacle to reef restoration efforts, it was announced recently.

The researchers at UCSD’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Jacobs School of Engineering developed the gel SNAP-X, which releases scents that attract the larvae. In initial studies, the gel was 20 times more effective at getting the larvae to settle than untreated surfaces.

“Coral are animals, and their larvae are selective about where they are going to attach because once they do, they’re stuck there,’’ said Daniel Wangpraseurt, the study’s senior author and a marine biologist at Scripps. “With SNAP-X, we created a material that releases chemical cues that tell coral larvae this is a good place to live.’’

The research, published today in Trends in Biotechnology, purports that the gel releases coral-attracting chemicals for a month after its application. It was funded in part by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s

Reefense program, which “aimed to develop self-healing, hybrid biological and engineered reef-mimicking structures for coastal protection,’’ a statement from UCSD read.

According to the university, coral reefs are severely threatened by ocean warming caused by climate change. They are projected to decline by 70-90% at 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) of warming relative to preindustrial times, and by 99% at 2 degrees C (3.6 degrees F).

“I’m over hearing that corals are dying -- I’m more interested in what we can

do about it,’’ said Wangpraseurt, who runs the Coral Reef Ecophysiology and Engineering Lab at Scripps. “My lab’s approach is to combine marine biology with physics and bioengineering to come up with new solutions.’’

Beyond their beauty and serving as a sign of a healthy ocean, coral reefs also have an estimated economic value of $375 billion worldwide.

For years, a hurdle to restoring coral reefs was getting the larvae to choose degraded reefs or manmade objects, which didn’t quite smell right to them.

Even if they do settle, getting the coral to reproduce naturally has been a major obstacle for scientists.

Certain types of algae release chemicals that encourage baby corals to attach to surfaces. Matching these chemicals in a lab has proved difficult.

Wangpraseurt and his team wanted to develop a substance that could deliver these chemical cues over an extended period of time in the ocean to entice baby coral.

“If you just throw these chemical cues in the ocean they dissipate very quickly, making it hard for coral

larvae to find their source,’’ said Samapti Kundu, a postdoctoral researcher at Scripps who worked on the project during her time at UCSD and the study’s first author. “We needed to develop something like an extended release drug delivery system that would slowly release these settlement cues in the ocean.’’

By encapsulating the chemical compounds from the algae in silica nanoparticles and then suspending them in a liquid gel that would later solidify when exposed to ultraviolet light, the scientists created SNAP-X, which can cure in

place and deliver extended chemical signals.

“I think this material is a breakthrough that can hopefully make a big contribution to coral restoration,’’ said Wangpraseurt. “Biomedical scientists have spent a lot of time developing nanomaterials as drug carriers, and here we were able to apply some of that knowledge to marine restoration.

The experiments were conducted using one species of Hawaiian coral. More experiments are needed to show that SNAP-X can work with other corals from other regions.

ABBA ZABBA

Our guide, Celia, all of 5 feet tall (maybe), handles the hefty Denali GMC like a pro. We jolt and fishtail along the sandy, terracotta-colored floor of Canyon de Chelly, marveling at the steep sandstone walls. In some places, they are as high as 1,000 feet.

“Sometimes after a rain,” Celia says, “you’ll have waterfalls coming down the cliffs.”

In semi-arid northeastern Arizona, I think, that would call for a miracle and a whole lot of rain.

In just a few minutes, that miracle occurs.

A cloudburst deposits fat droplets on our vehicle, and within another few minutes, waterfalls — at least a dozen — are cascading over the canyon walls. It is a majestic sight, but I can’t figure out how such a small amount of rain can create such a phenomenon and so quickly.

Our SUV is now pushing through a shallow stream, slip-slidin’ away. As the tires spin, they push up a wall of muddy water, which comes pouring in through the window. My fault; I left

it open trying to get a better look at the waterfalls. As I scream and laugh simultaneously, Celia coaxes the Denali out of the ravine, and we are on our way again.

I’m a bit damp and definitely muddy, but the mishap is worth it.

This is a unique place, and had we not booked this tour with a Navajo guide, we wouldn't have seen all that is Canyon de Chelly National Monument.

Pronounced d’SHAY, the canyon’s 84,000 acres are fully within the territory of the Navajo Nation, and archeologists say that it has been inhabited for 5,000

years. There is much discussion with other area Native Americans about which nations are descended from the Anasazi, the “ancient peoples” who made their homes on the canyon floor and ledges.

The Hopi and Pueblo Indians claim descendance, but some Navajo say that recent DNA tests prove they are the descendants of the Anasazi.

Canyon de Chelly received national monument designation in 1931, and the U.S. National Park Service and the Navajo Nation cooperate to preserve the many ruins and magnificent nat-

ural features of the canyon.

On this early-May afternoon, the thousands of cottonwood trees, planted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Corps during the Depression, wear their finest spring green.

Our timing is good, says Celia. Buds burst forth only two weeks ago, the air is still cool (summers here can be scorchers), and the light is perfect for viewing the many sites with eons-old pictographs. These are drawings on the cliff walls created with natural pigments. (Petroglyphs are drawings etched into the stone, and

these are less numerous.)

As best as archeologists can tell, the artwork depicts local animals, historical events and ceremonial rituals, but some mystery remains.

Possibly more amazing is that some of the Anasazi cliff-dwellings still stand.

Some were once closer to the ground, but over the centuries, the canyon floor has sunk. As we stand with Celia looking up at these structures, some up to 4,000 years old, it is incredible that we can see every handmade brick.

These buildings served as homes, facilities where the agrarian inhabitants stored food, and places where they held their ceremonies and conducted business. Corn and peach trees once flourished on the canyon floor.

Close encounters with ancient structures are possible only with a park ranger or Navajo guide, but visitors can drive the length of the canyon’s north and south

rims. We chose the south rim because there are more overlooks with a bird’s eye view of this awe-inspiring landscape, shaped over millennia by earthquakes, wind and rain.

It is hard to reconcile this ferocious beauty with the tragic events that occurred repeatedly during the 19th century. Perhaps the worst was the 1863-1864 attacks on Navajos by Col. Kit Carson. His troops captured or killed those living in the canyon, then destroyed remaining houses, crops and sheep. Survivors were forced to march 300 miles (the Long Walk) to New Mexico; more died. In 1868, after brutal internment at Fort Sumner, prisoners were allowed to walk back to the canyon, where some Navajo, beyond all odds, survived.

ACCORDING TO Navajo legend, Spider Woman lives at Spider Rock, the 800-foot-high sandstone towers in Canyon de Chelly in northeastern Arizona. She is credited with weaving the web of the universe and teaching Navajo women to weave. In geological terms, the towers are remnants of the forces of wind, rain and ice that carved the canyon.

to the lien being auctioned o , before you can receive clear title to the property.

Supporters described the program as a compassionate and practical intervention.

“We are able to provide that connection and community to those in need,” said Nicole McCune, director of the safe parking program. “We work together to break the cycle of poverty.”

Jewish Family Service requested an extension of the city lease agreement through December 2025, citing secured funding and ongoing need. The council directed staff to bring back a resolution in order to extend the program.

Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes, who had opposed the

“I will admit that was a mistake, and I know how valuable it is,” Lyndes said. “I just think it’s a marvelous program that has shown us some great success.”

In addition to moving forward with the parking program extension, the council voted to continue the broader discussion on the Homeless Action Plan to a future special meeting.

City Manager Jennifer Campbell confirmed that staff is currently reviewing options to fill the recently vacated Homeless Services Coordinator role. She said the city is exploring whether a regional partnership could provide broader outreach coverage.

local control over land use and zoning through a state constitutional amendment on the 2026 ballot.

Councilmember Jim O’Hara and Councilmember Luke Shaffer introduced the resolution, saying the city should oppose state housing mandates that have limited its authority over development decisions.

“This may not be the most potent thing we can do, but it’s something,” O’Hara said. “We need to do everything ... and if that means we send this letter and it doesn’t work, we give it a shot.”

The initiative has gained traction among residents concerned about legislation such as SB 9 and SB 1211, which allow for in-

creased residential density and reduced local discretion on housing projects. During public comment, speakers warned that these laws were accelerating overdevelopment without ensuring affordability.

“Most have zero affordable housing requirements,” said Karen Kaden, reading a statement on behalf of Encinitas resident and Our Neighborhood Voices board member Susan Turney. “Instead, they have everything to do with creating luxury market rate housing.”

Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes cast the lone dissenting vote, stating that while she supports efforts to address housing challenges, she did not believe the resolution would result in meaningful change.

“This is a feel good thing, and it’s not actually going to result in the outcome that you would hope for,” Lyndes said.

Lyndes cited her ongo-

ing work with the League of California Cities and SANDAG on RHNA (Regional Housing Needs Allocation) reform as a more productive path and encouraged the city to continue pursuing those efforts.

Mayor Bruce Ehlers supported the resolution and said it aligns with the city’s adopted objectives.

“This is exactly fulfilling one of our objectives that we agreed we’d work on this year,” Ehlers said.

Ehlers also noted that other North County leaders, including the mayors of Oceanside, San Marcos and Santee, have expressed support for similar efforts.

Shaffer emphasized the urgency of action, describing the resolution as part of a broader effort to counter state policies.

“It’s not really for us,” Shaffer said. “Ultimately, it’s going to be for 10, 15, 20 years down the road for our kids.”

Zone map, as required by the State Fire Marshal. The map identifies areas with moderate, high and very high severity zones based on historical fire behavior, vegetation conditions, ter-

rain and wind exposure.

Under the updated map, more than half of the city’s area is identified as a very high severity zone.

Station 5 will be located in the northern area of the city at the edge of this zone.

“These updated maps ensure that the City of San

Marcos can better align its fire protection planning with evolving wildfire science and state-mandated standards,” a staff report said. Residences in moderate to very high severity zones will be subject to defensible space guidelines, which require the clearing of dead vegetation and other combustible material within 100 feet.

Going forward, the city will be working on education and outreach related to the new severity zones and associated requirements.

SAN MARCOS Fire Station 5 will be built at the site of Karl Strauss’s now-closed beer garden The Outpost at the corner of North Las Posas Road and Armorlite Drive, expanding emergency response coverage in northwest San Marcos. Station 5 will house a fire engine manned by three personnel, an ambulance with two personnel and a battalion chief.

Internet safety isn’t just for kids — Older adults also must surf smart

By the numbers: The FBI announced that during 2024, there were 147,127 complaints of internet fraud for people 60 years and older, totaling $4.8 billion in losses.

• In our digital-first world, it’s crucial that Baby Boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) and the Silent generation (born between 1925 and 1945) – which are not digital natives – practice safe habits while online.

• Inherently, Baby Boomer and Silent generations tend to be more skeptical of online platforms tracking their data.

May is National Older Americans Month, so it's a good time to revisit helpful tips.

PREVENT PASSWORD BREACHES

A crucial first step to protecting valuable information online is to password protect your accounts.

• The equally crucial second step is to ensure that your password is strong enough.

• Use passwords with seven or more characters that include a number and symbol, like an exclamation point or asterisk.

• It’s important to vary your passwords across accounts, too.

• Otherwise, a hacker will have a one-and-done job after they breach a single password.

consider using two-factor authentication when creating your online accounts, which generates a one-time code that is sent to your mobile device or email to confirm your identity.

DON’T TAKE THE PHISHING BAIT

Another tactic that online hackers use to access your information is to send emails or text messages pretending to be someone else.

• These messages may look like they are from your boss, a family member, or even someone claiming you

have won a contest.

• They will typically convey a sense of urgency to get their victims to act quickly and respond with personal information like their social security number (SSN) or bank account numbers.

• If you know how to be cautious of these types of messages, you can prevent you or others from falling for phishing schemes and losing information privacy or money.

LET’S TALK ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA

• It’s fun to scroll

through your feed and post photos or statuses, but you may be giving out more information than you realize.

• However, do not overshare on social media, which can occur through posting photos or statuses that contain information like your home address or place of work.

• Fun online quizzes, which are common on Facebook, also pose a potential danger because they may ask you to share your name, gender, birth year, etc.

• Tap into the online security features available through your internet and technology providers.

• At Cox Communications, we offer tools to detect and prevent cyber-attacks, blocking unknown connections and scanning for any other network threats before you ever know about them.

The internet is a great place to research, keep up with friends and family, and stay up to date on current events.

• It’s important to stay safe while surfing the web and to ensure that our loved ones know how to protect themselves, too.

• And with affordable internet options like ConnectAssist for $30 a month, the power of connectivity is available to those on fixed incomes and/or whom receive at least one government assistance program such as SNAP, Medicaid or a Veterans Pension.

As Summer kicks off, these are a few updated community activities and events that support the work TERI does everyday to support the special needs community.

The TERI line up of mission-driven businesses inspire inclusiveness and build bridges of understanding and care within the local community.

At the Campus of Life, our TERI Common Grounds Café offers freshly made food for breakfast and lunch available Monday through Friday. There is a new dinner menu offered on Friday and Saturday evenings, and finally our weekend brunch includes Bluegrass music every Sunday.

Our menu features locally sourced ingredients, including produce from our campus farm as well as our own TERI microgreens, which supports and employs our program participants. We currently operate our own microgreens farm that provides USDA Certified Organic microgreens for over 20 local restaurants.

The Campus of Life is also an award-winning event and wedding venue, offering 13 unique spaces for parties from 10 to 300.

Our on-site event planning team provides world class

We have hosted over 100 events at the Campus of Life and continue to hear comments like, “We are so proud to be able to have events at the campus that support the amazing work TERI does every day.”

Recently we launched our catering delivery service, directly supporting our Vocational Internship Program that employs gifted adults with special needs. Our interns prepare many of our baked goods and pastries while learning the skills that are needed to succeed in the culinary field.

Finally, the Campus of Life is home to the Bornemann Theatre, a state-ofthe-art, 200-seat venue that opened in May 2024. Since then, we've hosted over 60 events, featuring international award-winning musicians, nationally renowned theatre companies, multiple San Diego Music Award winners, and three sold-out performances by the incredible TERI Players. The warmth, hope and joy the TERI Players bring to the Bornemann stage is truly life-changing and is not to be missed!

Indeed, there is much going on at The Campus of Life and we hope to see you at the Campus of Life this summer!
