Place

DEL MAR — Multiyear residents of the Surf and Turf RV Park by the Del Mar Fairgrounds face an uncertain future after being informed that long-term stays will no longer be permitted starting in the fall.

The change affects a small group of around 20 people ranging from young families to elderly individuals who have carved out long-term homes at the site, some for as long as 20 years.

Each year, all tenants must vacate the park from June to mid-September to make space for those attending the San Diego County Fair and horse races.

Swami’s Café faces harassment lawsuit

By Kaila Mellos

ENCINITAS — The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit on May 17 in federal court against Swami’s Café, alleging a local manager and others sexually harassed younger female employees daily in a “highly-sexualized work environment.”

Swami’s 101 LLC owns all the Swami’s Café locations in San Diego County, with restaurants in Encinitas, Vista, Carlsbad, Escondido, Oceanside, La Mesa

and several in San Diego. The company also owns the popular Honey’s Bistro in Encinitas.

A majority of the allegations outlined in the complaint focus on John Nolan, manager of Swami’s Café in Encinitas.

Several female employees, some as young as 16, reported Nolan created “a hostile work environment by, among other things, inappropriately touching and

Residents divided on Carlsbad roundabout

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — A proposed roundabout at the intersection of Carlsbad Boulevard and Tamarack Avenue has garnered mixed results, with many nearby residents expressing frustration over potential safety concerns.

City staff has twice presented an updated redesign to the Traffic and Mobility Commission. Some residents support a roundabout, while others believe a circuitous junction would only lead to more congestion and collisions.

The staff redesign has presented two options for the intersection: installing an upgraded signal, sidewalks, crosswalks and other features, or constructing a roundabout, reducing the roadway to a single lane in each direction between Hemlock Avenue and the Agua Hedionda Lagoon bridge.

The issue will come before the City Council later this year.

“We recognize it’s a change, and people have concerns,” said Tom Frank, the city’s transportation director. This … effort is to have the coastline serve a more balanced roadway.”

According to Frank, the issue has drawn thousands of responses from residents as the city continues to move Carlsbad Boulevard away from a “highway”-type roadway. Frank said the goals are manifold, including improving traffic flow and safety, providing safer bike lanes and wider sidewalks, adding two crosswalks and shortening the distance for pedestrians to cross the road.

Frank said those characteristics would create a better level of service (LOS), align with the city’s 2015 Mobility Element and Safer Streets Together initiative, and reduce emissions. The

city has previously built roundabouts at several intersections south of Palomar Airport Road and near the Terramar Area Coastal Improvement Project.

Frank compared the city’s effort to La Jolla’s Bird Rock neighborhood, where the addition of roundabouts accomplished several goals, including reducing vehicle speeds and collisions. After analyzing and comparing data, Frank said the city’s installation of the State Street roundabout, which handles similar traffic numbers to Bird Rock, has been positive, especially regarding drivers under the influence.

“As for function, the best way to understand them is to experience them,” Frank said of roundabouts. “We have successful areas.”

But residents Jason Oziel, Polly Williams and Steve Linke, the latter of whom served on the Traffic & Mobility Commission for four years, expressed several concerns with the proposed roundabouts, such as increased congestion, a lack of exit routes for residents west of Interstate 5 and challenges with cyclists and pedestrians.

Oziel and Linke said the State Street roundabout is one of the worst in the city, with a higher-than-normal collision rate, per the city’s data. Williams said when collisions occur on southbound I-5, Carlsbad Boulevard becomes the bypass and traffic piles up.

For example, last week, an accident on the freeway jammed up the thoroughfare with semi-trucks and commuters.

“Roundabouts have a purpose, but with the configuration of this intersection, a roundabout is not the best option,” Linke said. “The city is ramming this down our throats.”

Of the 846 riders that responded to the pilot program’s survey, 62% were Oceanside residents, and half were over the age of 50. The survey also found that 88% of riders used the shuttle to visit local restaurants and 67% said it helped address parking challenges.

emissions, Geller added.

The shuttles offer up to five passenger seats plus a driver, each complete with a seatbelt and their own door to exit the vehicle.

Services will run as far north as the Harbor, south to Vista Way west of Interstate 5, with the exception of newly extended services to the Eastside neighborhood.

from the public. Circuit will cost approximately $573,000 per year to run its services.

Previously, the city used $321,361 of its American Rescue Plan Act dollars to pay for the pilot program last year.

The Oceanside City Council on May 17 approved a two-year agreement with Circuit, an electric vehicle shuttle to operate in downtown Oceanside. The shuttle service ran for six months last year, from June to December 2022, as a pilot project that received “overwhelmingly positive feedback from residents, visitors and businesses,” according to staff, which is why the program has returned for a longer stay.

“Without any paid advertising and not even having the shuttles wrapped yet – they were just blank, white shuttles driving around – we had 1,800 riders the first week and ended up with an average of over 7,000 per month, which is quite high in comparison with other cities where Circuit operates,” said Michelle Geller, the city’s economic development manager.

Circuit operates in

The EV shuttles helped the city save over 1,600 gallons of gas and 18 metric tons of greenhouse gas

Staff is also looking into extending the shuttle’s services to include the Country Club Senior Center as well following a request

This year, the city is using $223,000 from the general fund and an anticipated $250,000 per year from the San Diego Association of Governments and another $100,000 per year from Visit Oceanside to fund the program.

Beware of gift card scams

By Summer Stephan

You’ve likely seen the rows and rows of colorful gift cards at the supermarket. There’s practically one for every retailer and the ability to purchase a gift card while grocery shopping is the epitome of convenience.

But as with anything, there is a dark side to having gift cards hanging within easy reach of fingertips, and scammers have found a way to exploit the convenience through card skimming or card swapping.

Before you buy that graduation or wedding gift card, keep reading.

Card skimming

For this scam, the fraudster has already copied the unique gift card bar code number and PIN from the gift card.

When an unsuspecting consumer buys and activates that gift card, the fraudster, who already has the barcode number and PIN, uses those funds before the legitimate consumer makes a purchase or the fraudster siphons the funds

from the card.

Tip: Make sure the PIN number on the card you purchase has not yet been scratched off.

Card swapping

Card swapping involves a scammer stealing a stack of physical cards from the retail store outlet and then replacing original barcode with a counterfeit barcode sticker.

The scammer will then return the cards to the store and re-hang them on the rack.

When a consumer purchases and loads one of the cards with cash, the money goes directly into the fraudster’s bank account rather than the gift card.

When the consumer tries to use the gift card the balance is $0.

The consumer will have no idea the funds they loaded were stolen until they attempt to use the card.

The business will show the funds were loaded on the card but be unaware it was actually loaded to a counterfeit account.

Tip: When buying a gift card, opt for the ones that are kept under lock and key by the retailer.

• A lways check that the barcode is original and does not appear to be tampered with.

• There should not be a sticker on top of the original barcode.

Letters to the Editor

Fight harmful UV rays the vegan way

Dear Editor,

Are you ready for fun in the sun this summer?

With National Sunscreen Day (May 27) just around the corner, let’s shout from the rooftops about wearing sunscreen for skin cancer prevention.

Protecting our skin is more important than ever, as ozone depletion has significantly increased skin cancer cases.

One way to lace up our gloves and fight back against skin cancer is through healthy vegan foods. Animal agriculture produces a greenhouse gas called nitrous oxide.

This gas harms the ozone layer, which protects us from harmful ultraviolet radiation. And studies have shown that consuming plants can help to reduce the

risk of cancer.

As someone with an increased risk of skin cancer, I understand the importance of prevention.

When my best friend was diagnosed with melanoma in her early 20s, I got my huge, irregular birthmark removed as a precaution. I now have a 4-inch silver scar on my leg.

Sometimes the puzzled looks and questions about my humongous scar bother me, but then I’m reminded how fragile life is: A kind woman I know recently passed away from melanoma, leaving behind five children.

It’s terrifying, but the best I can do is be proactive by eating healthy vegan foods and slathering on sunscreen. I love so many of the de-

It was clear from the moment that California’s Reparations Task Force began pushing the idea of large cash payments to descendants of African-American slaves that there is insufficient political will to use money for making right what some call “America’s original sin.”

Without doubt, much of what has built this nation was accomplished on the backs of those slaves. They established crops on plantations and farms from Rhode Island to Texas. They built the White House and the national Capitol. They paved roads and built bridges.

Once legally freed, they were still kept in bondage by sharecropping and ultra-low industrial wages. They were denied home loans in a practice called “redlining,” they had segregationist Jim Crow rules imposed on them in many places.

But California was never the center of Black slavery and discrimination. De facto slaves here were usually Native American Indians or Chinese laborers compelled to build railroads and rice farms, drain swamps and dig sewers. Plus populating brothels without hope for escape and becoming domestic servants.

But the state’s Reparations Task Force has made no mention of these other actual and quasi-slaves. Composed entirely of African-Americans, the group discussed no one else.

It eventually became obvious that even the politicians on that commission had no stomach for trying to push through the Legislature the kind of cash reparations some colleagues on the task force and others are demanding.

Those demands most likely will form a significant part of the group’s final report to Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature, expected in late June.

So if one person whose forebears suffered legally sanctioned injustice is entitled to reparations, so are any other persons whose ancestors also faced government-imposed injustice.

How is it justified under the 14th Amendment — ironically written and passed to protect Blacks released from slavery — to deny Indians reparations after their ancestral villages were systematically burned by the U.S. Army in the latter part of the 19th century?

How could descendants of Chinese forced laborers also be denied reparations?

And yet, the Reparations Task Force in its preliminary findings released in May mentioned only Blacks. Even those who have lived in California as briefly as two years could be eligible for six-figure checks if the Legislature adopts the tentative task force plan.

Yes, some ideas in that report might be practical and legal, even in this newly arrived era of big budget deficits, but only if they are applied to all groups that faced government-sanctioned or -approved discrimination.

This could apply to Jews prevented from buying many properties before the late 1950s through then-legal clauses in land deeds prohibiting sales to that ethno-religious group. It would need also to apply to Japanese who lost property while interned in special camps during World War II.

licious-smelling sunscreen available on the market. To choose a sunscreen that is kind to animals, look for vegan and cruelty-free products.

Vegan sunscreens should not contain animal-derived ingredients, such as beeswax or lanolin. And cruelty-free sunscreens are not tested on animals. Check for PETA’s leaping bunny, or search on crueltyfree.peta.org to be sure.

On National Sunscreen Day, let’s remember to protect ourselves from skin cancer, reduce our environmental impact with healthy vegan foods, and choose products that align with our values.

Small steps can make a big difference!

Rebecca Libauskas The PETA Foundation

But Newsom, coping with a $31.5 billion budget deficit, quickly made plain there will be no cash anytime soon for reparations to Blacks — and only Blacks — for the poor health care, housing discrimination and other hardships imposed upon most of them for much of California’s 173 years of statehood.

Besides the lack of political will for this, it’s fast becoming clear that reparations favoring just one — and only one — group solely on the basis of its ancestry won’t get far in the courts.

That’s because government favoritism of one group over others is not permitted under the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees all who live in America “equal protection of the laws.”

This means reparations, which might have run up to almost $1 trillion for the roughly 9% of Californians who are African-American, might cost even more than that if other groups are treated equally, as the 14th Amendment appears to demand.

Japanese and Chinese and Jews may not be able to prove they were systematically and deliberately denied equal health care, as the task force says Blacks were, but all faced — some say they still face — discrimination in housing, employment and college admissions, areas where the task force seeks compensation for Blacks. Which means something different must be worked out or else no wrongs at all will be righted.

Feds deny NCTD request in Del Mar bluffs fence project

By Laura Place

DEL MAR

— After nearly three years of waiting, the federal Surface Transportation Board has declined to provide the declaratory relief sought by North County Transit District to legitimize its right to proceed with a fencing project along a stretch of rail on the Del Mar bluffs.

The regional transit district, or NCTD, first requested declaratory relief from the federal board in August 2020, asking them to find that federal law preempted them from following local coastal development requirements for projects along the railway.

NCTD’s controversial fencing proposal includes plans for 3,723 linear feet of 4- to 6-foot fencing along the bluffs beginning at the Coast Boulevard railroad crossing in Del Mar to limit trespassing and prevent deaths on the railroad.

The May 23 order states that the matter will be held in abeyance until two San Diego Superior Court lawsuits related to the project are resolved. The California Coastal Commission and local group Friends of the Del Mar Bluffs sued NCTD in early 2022 after the agency moved ahead with contracts for the fencing project despite not obtaining a coastal development permit.

“The Board will hold

this proceeding in abeyance with respect to the fencing project so the state court can consider state law issues — including whether NCTD agreed to comply with California’s environmental laws, including the Coastal Act, as a condition of receiving state funding for the fencing project —that may resolve the dispute or inform any future Board decision,” the board stated.

If the state courts cannot resolve the issue, the board said it could remove it from abeyance to be addressed.

At a May 5 hearing in the Coastal Commission’s superior court case, a judge stayed the case pending a ruling from the Surface Transportation Board (STB) regarding the petition. STB

said they would inform the court of their abeyance decision.

NCTD Executive Director Matthew Tucker said that the “limited decision” does not impact the agency’s authority over the rail line or its ability to move its projects forward.

“NCTD intends to continue to pursue its legal options and remains committed to developing a solution for the railway along the Del Mar Bluffs that promotes rail safety and ensures service reliability,” Tucker said.

As the saga continues in state court, NCTD will be arguing its position — that the fencing project is exempt from the requirements of the Coastal Act and Califor-

Sheriff investigates threats on blog

Anonymous posts mirror Watchdogs creator’s tirades

By Jordan P. Ingram ENCINITAS

— Law enforcement has opened an investigation into a slew of anonymous posts threatening physical and sexual violence against several local women in an online discussion board, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.

Both law enforcement and residents have reported parallels between the language used in several anonymous posts on the Blogger forum Encinitas Undercover and public Facebook statements by former Encinitas mayoral candidate Jeff Morris.

Sgt. Heather Bruton of the sheriff’s North Coastal Station confirmed they had received multiple complaints of online harassment related to the anonymous posts and continue to investigate the matter.

Morris’ attorney denies that his client is the author of the anonymous posts.

A judge on May 5 granted a local woman’s third request for a temporary restraining order against Morris, whom she claims is behind a series of “slanderous” and sexually violent statements under the pseudonyms “Anonymous” and “Nobody” on Encinitas Undercover.

The woman, who requested to be called “NS” out of fear of retaliation and harassment, believes the alleged conduct originated after she was vocal in her opposition to Morris’ mayoral candidacy in last year’s election.

Morris served as administrator of the private Facebook group Encinitas Watchdogs for years, a page focused on local politics that mysteriously vanished from social media last month.

Anonymous vitriol

In addition to Facebook posts, NS alleges Morris is the author of numerous postings using the alias “Anonymous” on Encinitas Undercover, threatening to rape her and saying that “payback is coming.”

Blogger permits anyone to comment under the name “Anonymous,” and most of the comments on Encinitas Undercover are posted anonymously.

None of the anonymous posts have been definitively linked to Morris. However, NS claims both Morris and Anonymous use the exact words in online posts across social media platforms to target the same individuals, such as “Depends Undergarments,” “bionic,” “squeeze,” “faux,” “fleas,” “skank” and “cesspool.”

Most anonymous statements targeting NS and other local women also appear steeped in acrimony over the city’s recent mayoral election.

In November’s mayor race, Morris finished third

with 24.52% (or 6,969 votes) behind candidates Cindy Cremona (25.5%) and winner Tony Kranz (47%).

Some anonymous posts directed at NS also contained sexually violent threats and racial epithets, including repeated use of the n-word to describe NS (a white female) and other individuals.

“It’s pretty evident there were a number of postings against my client that are libelous, threatening, and no woman should have to live under a system where that is tolerated,” said Leslie Akins, attorney for NS. “Not any part of it was protected political speech, there was no political content. The commentary was wholly repugnant.”

But there appears to be no evidence showing Morris has made sexually violent threats or used the n-word in his public-facing comments on social media.

In an April 26 post on Encinitas Undercover, an anonymous post threatened violence against former mayoral candidate Cindy Cremona and former District 2 City Council candidate Susan Turney.

“When I win this election, were (sic) going to start 2 hunting seasons. Starting December 1st, Cremona, Turney, anybody on their team..can also be hunted…Happy Hunting Encinitas!!! Remember, 10 round magazine max!!!”

Turney told The Coast News she hopes “the IP addresses are released so that the public can know who authored the posts in question.”

Despite several attempts, The Coast News could not get a statement from the individual who operates Encinitas Undercover. The identity of the blog’s administrator is unknown.

More posts, new targets

In another series of online attacks, an anon-

cessfully sought protective orders against Morris on two occasions, one of which resulted in Morris temporarily surrendering his firearms, including several pistols, rifles and a shotgun.

A judge dismissed the second TRO request on Dec. 21, just days before Morris was arrested at his home following an alleged domestic violence incident on Christmas Day.

On April 10, prosecutors dismissed all misdemeanor domestic violence charges against Morris — corporal injury to a spouse, battery and false imprisonment — due to a lack of evidence, citing law enforcement’s inability to locate witnesses to the alleged incident.

O’side approves Pier View project

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

ymous author targeted a different local woman, repeatedly calling her “trailer trash” and “skank.” In addition, some posts published her phone number with a message soliciting sex and threatening to contact her employer.

The unknown author extended the threats and harassment to the woman’s family, calling her minor child the “Bastard of Encinitas,” publishing his full name and high school, threatening violence, and using derogatory terms related to obesity and Down syndrome when describing the adolescent.

Several commenters have responded to statements by Anonymous on Encinitas Undercover, identifying the author as Morris and sometimes referring to him as “Stan.” Anonymous refers to Morris in the third person in other posts, often speaking about him favorably.

A sheriff’s report obtained by The Coast News, which included statements by NS and investigative notes, also noted similarities in the language used by Morris on Facebook and in the anonymous blog posts.

“The (anonymous) posts speak very well of Morris and seem to be written by an admirer or friend,” Sheriff’s Deputy Craig Skakowski writes in the report. “Additionally, many of the responses to the inflammatory posts mention that the author is Morris…It seems to be a known fact that Morris authors the anonymous posts.

“Based on the way Morris is mentioned, the tone and style of the anonymous posts related to Encinitas Watchdogs posts, and considering all the references and information, I believed Morris was the author of the ‘Anonymous’ posts mentioning (NS).”

'It's almost ... civil harassment'

Over the last six months, NS has unsuc-

According to court filings, in a May 3 post in the Facebook group Encinitas Uncensored, Morris wrote about the situation: “Don’t worry, I got my guns back… beat the corrupt Sheriffs, now I’m coming for the Encinitas Illuminati. I don’t lose to SCUM…Fools shouldn’t be lying to the judge. I’m not done with her (NS) yet.”

Paul Neuharth, Morris’ longtime attorney, adamantly denied NS’s accusations, claiming her continued requests for court-ordered protection against Morris border on harassment.

“My client denies any interaction and doesn’t have anything to do with that,” Neuharth told The Coast News. “She is seeking a TRO (temporary restraining order) based on anonymous postings, and she’s trying to attribute the anonymous postings to my client. It’s almost to the point of civil harassment now.”

The judge’s temporary order prohibits Morris from making or posting slanderous remarks and statements “inciting violent acts or hate-based acts” against NS.

According to Neuharth, Morris no longer interacts on those social media pages and shut down his accounts several months ago.

“I’m sorry that some people seem to resent his entry into the Encinitas mayoral race so much that they will not drop the political criticism and vitriol,” Neuharth said. “There is no proof to substantiate (NS’s) claims, and Mr. Morris has not been served.”

According to law enforcement and sources familiar with the investigation, the Court Services Bureau has been unable to serve Morris the temporary restraining order despite several visits to his residence.

A hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on May 30 to determine if a permanent order will be granted, although sources have said the court date will likely be postponed.

If the order has not been served within five days before May 30, the order will become renewable for another 30 days.

— The City Council recently approved a 64-unit, mixeduse residential project at 901 Pier View Way at the southeast corner of Pier View and North Clementine Street.

The project will demolish the two existing single-family residents on the 13,000-square-foot property and replace them with the seven-story building, including ground-floor commercial space fronting Clementine Street and the northwest portion of Pier View Way.

The development will include 64 rental apartments, ranging in size from 440 square-foot studios to 1,175 square-foot two-bedroom units, a leasing office, gym, rooftop and second-floor viewing decks, a lounge and a parking garage for residents.

Seven of the apartments will be deed restricted for low-income residents.

Commercial space customers will have access to the project’s 10 parking spaces along Pier View Way and Clementine Street.

The project proposes to make several enhancements to the local streetscape and would create an “inviting pedestrian experience,” according to staff.

As a state density bonus law project, the applicant has not requested additional units but has instead asked for several development standard waivers to accommodate the 64 units, with seven restricted to low-income households.

Waivers include reduced minimum setbacks, a higher maximum height to allow for the top of the elevator at 94 feet instead of 80 feet, less side landscaping, smaller open space, narrower garage aisle width, smaller parking stall

offsets from columns and smaller parking stall sizes.

The project also requested a concession to waive the underground utility requirement. Previously, the Downtown Advisory Committee voted unanimously to allow the development, except that the utilities must be undergrounded.

However, staff noted that state law prohibits the city from denying this concession without finding a specific adverse safety impact.

Some residents voiced concerns about the project during its hearing at the May 17 council meeting, including what its plans are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and if it would potentially narrow the surrounding sidewalk area.

“The only thing I’d recommend is we maybe make provisions so that the sidewalks are at least feet wide, even if we have to give up some green space,” said resident Bill Batchelor. “Once we give that up, we can’t get it back, and it’ll make the neighborhood feel more walkable.”

Applicant Will Winkenhofer with Fidelis Advisors explained that the sidewalks will be more comprehensive than they currently are.

“We certainly didn’t try to skinny them up,” Winkenhofer said.

Winkenhofer also responded to environmental concerns, noting the developer is contemplating installing solar to help offset the building’s energy.

“...We’ll be one of the first buildings to actually enact that code, so I think that’s pretty exciting,” Winkenhofer said.

Rapid Response Housing Solutions joins Operation HOPE

By Staff REGION — Rapid Response Housing Solutions, a volunteer-led nonprofit in Carlsbad, recently announced that it will close as a registered nonprofit and transfer assets to Operation HOPE - North County in Vista to start the organization’s new legacy fund.

Rapid Response Housing Solutions was founded in 1990 by a group of dedicated volunteers who led a coalition to build the first homeless shelter in North County San Diego, the La Posada de Guadalupe Men’s Shelter, managed by Catholic Charities, in Carlsbad.

Most recently, the organization developed a rapid response cash assistance program focused on

getting people back to work and preventing homelessness in the community.

Pet of the Week

Agnolotti is the Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s pet of the week. He is a 1½-year-old, 9-pound, male, domestic short hair cat with a brown tabby coat.

Agnolotti was a stray. He was taken to a crowded animal shelter and then transferred to RCHS through the Friends of County Animal Shelters.

He went into foster care with a trained volunteer. Agnolotti’s foster dad said he was shy while he adjusted to his surroundings. When he felt comfortable, he would purr and allow his handlers to pet him.

Agnolotti could live with kids as young as 10, as long as they’re respectful.

For those unfamiliar with it, D&D is a fantasy, tabletop role-playing game based on medieval times and tales. It has heroes, wizards, thieves, goblins, castles and (naturally) dragons.

And though I don’t play, my fondness for “The Lord of the Rings” and “Harry Potter” provides me enough credibility to pass muster.

With swords, battle maces, shields and every other imaginable tool, weapon and fantastical creature on full display, this tiny brewery tucked into Vista’s remotest corner is run by some of the most personable, friendly and knowledgeable brew masters it’s been my pleasure to meet.

These folks strive to be different and welcome others who are different. It’s become one of the few breweries I go out of my way to return to.

Consider that. With dozens of choices, I repeatedly opt for BattleMage. True, they just won the Gold in the World Beer Cup® for their Summon

Ifrit Amber, meaning they have the best amber beer in the world. But I’m more of a hefeweizen guy. So their Chocobo Hef beer aside, for me it’s the atmosphere, people and feelings of camaraderie and acceptance that keep me coming back.

When not chatting with the beertenders or nerdy patrons, I take my battleax taster flight board, study the wall full of Magic: The Gathering cards and revel in a world of make-believe inhabited by some of the most real people you’ll ever encounter.

Regardless of your industry, you’ve got competition and need to set yourself apart. As you’re looking for ways to grow your own business, remember this combination of personalized customer service, high-quality products and a business personality that appeals to the right customer profile.

It can be enough to repeatedly lure clientele of all ages to spend money within your halls. And it’s a lesson we can all benefit from in the never-ending battle for customer sales.

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

Grooves, brews highlight Fiesta del Sol

By Laura Place

SOLANA BEACH

— Cloudy

weather over the May 20 weekend did not stop the around 50,000 live music lovers that gathered at Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach for the city’s 42nd annual Fiesta del Sol.

The free two-day music festival drew residents from all over San Diego County, with

over a dozen performers taking the stage from reggae acts Iya Terra and Ginger Roots and the Protectors to 70s and 80s nostalgia groups like Fabba Show and Betamaxx.

Leaders of the Belly Up Tavern, the main sponsor for Fiesta del Sol, said the event saw approximately 25,000 people per day. “It’s awesome to see so many

different parts of our community turn out in force, whether it’s classic rock fans, reggae lovers, art lovers, kids playing music with parents watching, or just people who love to get out and have some fun and eat some great food, it all mixes together into a very cool vibe,” said Belly Up president Chris Goldsmith.

From morning to evening

on Saturday and Sunday, crowds of people could be seen milling about the South Acacia Avenue parking lot that organizers transformed into an outdoor venue and beer garden for the weekend.

Others strolled through the outdoor market set up along Plaza Drive and South Sierra Ave, perusing jewelry, artwork and other goods.

While the offering of local libations like beer and hard kombucha are a large part of Fiesta del Sol, the family-oriented event saw countless children and canine companions in tow enjoying the festival as well.

“Forty-plus years and still going strong, we’re already looking forward to next year," Goldsmith said.

Despite being seeded sixth in the regional tournament, the Cougars came from behind in the second game to sweep Concordia University Irvine in a bestof-three series to take home

their first regional title.

CSUSM (32-19) will vie for the World Series title in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a double-elimination tournament that started May 25 and runs through May 31.

The Cougars, seeded eighth of eight teams, played their first game at Thursday against top seed University of Texas at Tyler (59-4).

“It’s been their goal all year long to make it to Tennessee. To be here is such a great moment for this team,” head coach Stef Ewing said. “It’s been an awesome ride so far, and here we are, we’re facing the No. 1 seed and we’re like, ‘Bring it.’”

The path to victory at the regional tournament began with wins against Sonoma State, Cal State Dominguez Hills and Azusa Pacific University, propelling the team to the best-of-three Super Regional against Concordia.

MLS coming to San Diego in ’25 season

By City News Service

REGION — San Diego will become the home of Major League Soccer's newest team, majority-owned by British-Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Mansour, it was announced May 18.

The expansion club — the league’s 30th team —will begin play in MLS in 2025 at 35,000-seat Snapdragon Stadium. The Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation are also in the ownership team, as is six-time Major League Baseball All- Star and current member of the San Diego Padres, Manny Machado.

game, 9-0, on May 18, but found themselves trailing 3-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning in the second game the next day.

The Cougars tied the game — scoring on an error and wild pitch — followed by a home run from Madison Waymire to give them a 4-3 lead. Savannah Coyle pitched a 1-2-3 inning in the top of the seventh to seal their ticket to Chattanooga.

“The team never panicked, and we just kept chipping away,” Ewing said.

While much of the team is made up of freshmen and sophomores, three players continued the celebration at CSUSM graduation ceremonies on May 19 and 20, with the regional championship trophy brought on stage.

The Cougars play next at noon ET on Friday if they win Thursday’s game and at 11 a.m. ET on Saturday if they lose.

Holiday Bowl looking for new title sponsor

By City News Service REGION — After six years as the San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl, San Diego’s college bowl game is looking for a new title sponsor, it was announced May 22.

The credit union opted out of the bowl sponsorship for the December college football game. Before sponsoring the Holiday Bowl in 2017, SDCCU was the title sponsor of the Poinsettia Bowl from 2005 through 2016 and has supported the non-profit bowl association each year since 1994.

The inaugural Holiday Bowl was held in 1978 and often features high-scoring, down-to-the-wire finishes and big crowds.

The 2022 game featured a final minute, comefrom-behind 28-27 Oregon Ducks victory over the North Carolina Tar Heels, in front of a near sellout crowd at Petco Park and 3,969,000 Fox television viewers.

According to Sports San Diego, of the 43 bowl games last year, the Holiday Bowl was the 10th most watched game. Of the 37 non-College Football Playoff bowl games, it was the fourth most watched.

Sports San Diego, the group that produces the Holiday Bowl, also owns and operates the Rady Children’s Invitational, a fourteam event that tips off this Thanksgiving at UC San Diego’s Lion Tree Arena.

“We are thrilled to welcome San Diego to Major League Soccer as our 30th team,” said MLS Commissioner Don Garber. “For many years, we have believed San Diego would be a terrific MLS market due to its youthful energy, great diversity and the fact that soccer is an essential part of everyday life for so many people.”

The team’s name and crest will be announced in the buildup to beginning play in 2025. Soccer fans can reserve their place on the list for season tickets to San Diego’s inaugural MLS season by paying $18 at SanDiegoFC.com.

Mansour is the founder and chairman of the London-based investment management firm Man Capital, which owns Right to Dream — a global soccer community of academies, clubs and partners focused on identifying and nurturing talent.

The Sycuan Tribe becomes the first Native American tribe to have an ownership stake in professional soccer in the United States. One of 12 Kumeyaay tribes in San Diego County, Sycuan has been a long-term partner with major institutions in the community, including the San Diego Padres, San Diego Symphony, Rady Children’s Hospital and local nonprofits.

“What a proud moment this is for the city and the Sycuan Tribe to bring MLS to San Diego,” said Sycuan Tribal Chairman Cody Martinez. “Sycuan has deep roots to the San Diego community and found an incredible partner in Mohamed Mansour and the soccer expertise that he brings with Right to Dream.”

Machado joined the Padres as part of a then-record breaking contract in 2019. Throughout his career, he and his wife Yainee have placed an emphasis on engaging with and helping underserved kids in their community, a statement from the league reads.

The great sports autograph hunt continues

receptive to Gallagher, though. Gallagher singled out Oscar Robertson, Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

By Noah Perkins CARLSBAD

— At age nine, Carlsbad resident Tim Gallagher found his life’s purpose. The exact date is long forgotten, but what Gallagher does remember is it happened sometime in 1967 at a Cincinnati Reds game with his father.

Arriving at Crosley Field earlier than usual, the bleachers had yet to fill. As the Gallaghers roamed the stands, something incredible happened: they got close enough to a Red to practically taste the chewing tobacco.

It wasn’t 19-year-old budding star catcher Johnny Bench or future hit king Pete Rose who changed the trajectory of Gallagher’s life. No, it was aging journeyman pitcher Ted Abernathy, known for his submarine delivery.

“We were down by the dugout and there was Ted Abernathy just kind of standing there, talking to someone from the press,” Gallagher said. “My dad had gotten a game program and said, ‘You should go down and have Ted Abernathy sign your program.’ That’s the first autograph I remember getting.”

Abernathy’s signature captured Gallagher’s imagination and in the 55 years since, still hasn’t let go of it.

“The magic of the encounter and the adrenaline rush; it was an immediate obsession,” Gallagher said.

Gallagher, now 65 and living in Carlsbad, has amassed a collection of autographs over the course of his life that at its peak was in the ballpark of 25,000 signatures, ranging from pro athletes on the fringe of their sport to the biggest names to ever pick up a ball.

“[It feels like] I just spent a moment with [Hall of Fame pitcher] Tom Seaver, that’s like meeting the President or better, and he was nice, and he signed my stuff,” Gallagher said. “Then also getting mail. Heck, even getting a letter from a friend is nice. Imagine opening the mail, and there is a signed card from Bob Love or Joe Torre or Johnny Unitas.”

His parents remained supportive, albeit for a time, and thought it was a passing phase.

“They thought I’d move on to comic books or skate-

boarding,” Gallagher said. “As my parents supply of envelopes and stamps and index cards disappeared, they realized this was a serious pursuit.”

Every signature has a story.

Like that time, he went after legendary college basketball coach and television broadcaster Al McGuire’s signature.

“He was an eccentric character,” Gallagher said. “At the 1995 Final Four, Al was a guest on a radio show, and we went to see him. As

we are leaving, Al’s personal assistant, an eccentric lady, comes up to us and says, ‘You boys are so prepared you must be really big fans of Al’s, I have something special for you guys.’

“She comes back out with a couple of signed toy Oscar Meyer wiener mobiles. We are heading out the door, and she comes up to us and says, ‘I’m so sorry, but I just learned Al promised those to someone else.’ We handed them back, and in return she gave us some signed 7Up red dots with

legs.”

Or the time Herm Gilliam, an NBA guard from the 1970s, sent him a letter on U.S. Army letterhead.

“(Gilliam) was in the army – in those days, players might have to leave the team for a bit to fulfill some military service,” Gallagher said. “In the letter he wrote me, he was at bootcamp, going through basic training and was looking forward to getting back with his team. Stuff like that is a moment in time.”

According to Galla-

“I’ve been shrugged off, cursed out and snarled at,” he said. “Out by the team bus in Dallas, I had a cool photo of Alonzo Mourning from GQ Magazine, I approached him politely and basically, he said ‘Get the [expletive] away from me.’”

In 2015, Gallagher sold off the bulk of his non-basketball collection, something in the range of 6,000 signatures.

After downsizing, Gallagher, a longtime North County resident who spent many years living in Encinitas, still has roughly 18,000 signed items.

“The first time that [making money off of signatures] crossed my mind was when Roberto Clemente passed away,” Gallagher said. “I thought, ‘Wow, nobody is going to be getting anymore Roberto Clemente autographs’ — that was the revelation of value.”

These days his interest in signatures is mostly with basketball players.

“I joke if Tom Cruise was sitting next to me on a flight I wouldn’t be interested in his autograph, but if a guy was a backup point guard on the Pacers in the 1990s, I’d be all over him,” Gallagher said.

After years of working in corporate sales, Gallagher was able to pivot professionally and make his passion his career.

In September, he was hired as a consignment director for Robert Edward Auctions – one of the largest specialty auction houses with a focus on sports memorabilia.

“I was able to align my passion with my profession; it’s hard to top that,” Gallagher said. “I had success at all the other corporate jobs over the years, but it wasn’t as fun as this.”

gher, the perfect signature is rare, but Johnny Bench came close.

“Every once in a while, the ink would flow just right, and the guy would sign on the sweet spot,” Gallagher said. “[It was a] 1971 Topps Johnny Bench [card], the ballpoint pen just took perfectly, and it was signed in the players’ parking lot under Riverfront Stadium. In the pre-Sharpie days, it was really hit-and-miss what kind of signature you would get.”

Not everyone was

Though he now works in the sale of memorabilia, Gallagher remains a collector at heart.

After thousands of moments with athletes over five decades and change, Gallagher isn’t done looking for the perfect signatures for his collection.

He named Jack Molinas, Maurice Stokes and Wayne Estes – deceased figures from the early days of the NBA – as the signatures he is currently in search of.

“I still enjoy that in person encounter,” he said. “To me part of it is the chase.”

TIM GALLAGHER, a longtime Encinitas resident now living in Carlsbad, has collected thousands of autographs from sports biggest stars, from LeBron James and Michael Jordan, above, to Johnny Bench and Tom Seaver. After more than 50 years, Gallagher is still on the lookout for the perfect autograph for his collection.

Local Starbucks workers unionize

Leucadia baristas first in county to win unionization

By Kaila Mellos

ENCINITAS

— After waiting over a month, workers at a Leucadia Starbucks won union representation on May 22, becoming the 24th store to unionize in California and the first in San Diego County.

Employees at a Starbucks location along Leucadia Boulevard near Interstate 5 submitted a letter to the National Labor Relations Board on April 12 seeking to unionize with Starbucks Workers United.

The request was approved following a 21-2 vote, according to a release.

The letter outlined the store’s reported understaffed conditions due to corporate labor models.

Due to these practices, workers claimed they experienced health and safety code violations and harassment from customers. The staff has also had to miss state-mandated breaks because there is not enough other staff to keep the store open. When the employees reached out to management, they were allegedly told to work harder and have a better attitude about the situation. In addition, many workers reportedly faced disciplinary action for directing customers, angry about issues caused by the staff shortage, to the managers.

“We are not anti-Starbucks. We are Starbucks,” said Shea Kaplan, a partner of over six years and organizer at the Encinitas

location. “We are the face of this company, and we are the ones who earn for this company. We see daily what is needed for our store to be successful. Joining the union is about getting what we need to do our jobs right when we are not receiving that aid from the company itself.”

The staff's goal of joining the Workers United Union was to increase the store's labor allotment to have a safe and reasonable amount of people working to create a clean and healthy environment; to lift the restrictions on the minimum hours worked and weekend hours, and to raise wages to align with current inflation models.

When the vote came out late last week, workers were overjoyed at the result and are now part of a union to voice their needs better.

“It feels amazing to see

what we’ve been working so hard for come to fruition. We feel like we’re finally getting our own voice,” said Alina Stangeland and Denika Brown, baristas and organizers at the Leucadia and I-5 store.

The Starbucks Workers United release states, “Starbucks has launched a ruthless union-busting campaign that includes firing over 200 union leaders nationwide and shuttering union stores.

“In addition, at least eleven union leaders in the Golden State have been fired in retaliation for their organizing activity, and more have been forced out of the company.”

The National Labor Relations Board has issued 80 official complaints against the company, encompassing over 1,400 violations of federal labor law.

Carlsbad council denies new flag policy

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — No commemorative flags, including pride flags or any flag that identifies with a specific historical event, cause, nation or group of people, will be flown at City Hall.

tively decide to raise specific flags “solely for city messages” without violating the First Amendment, according to City Attorney Cindie McMahon.

Michael A. Rosas, a federal administrative law judge at the National Labor Relations Board, ruled that Starbucks committed “egregious and widespread” violations of federal law in its campaign to halt unions, “ordering the company to give back pay and damages to workers who launched national organizing efforts,” according to The Hill.

Rosas further ordered Starbucks to cease and desist from several unlawful actions, including promising employees increased benefits if they did not join a union, engaging in surveillance by photographing employees wearing union pins, and prohibiting employees from talking about their wages, per The Hill. Starbucks Workers United is a union drive that formed several new unions in the past 12 months.

The Carlsbad City Council declined to approve a new policy allowing commemorative flags during its May 23 meeting, voting 3-2 to forego allowing any flags other than the national and state flags.

Since the item proposed amending a previous policy, passage required four “yes” votes.

Flags have been a reoccurring issue with the council for the past several years.

Former Councilwoman Cori Schumacher, the first openly gay woman elected to office in North County, suggested raising the intersectional pride flag at City Hall in 2021.

The U.S. Supreme Court recently issued a ruling related to flags being flown at municipal buildings after a man sued the City of Boston for declining to raise a Christian flag over City Hall. The court ruled 9-0 that the city had violated the man's First Amendment rights by refusing to raise his flag based on religious expression.

The ruling came with a caveat — a government, as determined by its governing body or council, may collec-

If the council were to allow a number of different flags to fly at City Hall, a new flag pole would be constructed at a cost between $12,000 to $20,000.

"If the council reserves flagpoles solely for city messages, we don’t have to fly any flag requested," McMahon said.

Mayor Keith Blackburn and Councilwoman Melanie Burkholder voted against the item, saying it raises too many issues within the council, a lack of controls for outside influence and sparking unnecessary debate with other groups, individuals or religious sects who want their flag raised at City Hall. Burkholder said inclusivity is important, but the issue of flags is outside the role of government.

Blackburn asked why the council should choose one group over another, adding that regardless of flags, everyone is welcome and safe at City Hall.

“I agree with so much of what was said here today,” Blackburn said. “Everybody is absolutely welcome and safe at City Hall. Bud Lewis was mayor for 30 years, and he told me to be prepared for what you do for one group, you’ll have to do for another.”

the news and said it does not give residents enough notice to plan and book new sites for the upcoming year.

“For us to get into our summer spots, which are more expensive, of course, a lot of us have to plan at least six months in advance. For us to know we can’t come back in September, we needed to know back in September [last year],” said Ayala. “You have to know what’s coming ahead so you can plan. Otherwise, guess what? You’re on the street.”

In the notice, the only reason for this change was that the Fairgrounds, which owns the property, was not authorizing longterm stays.

However, residents later learned that Del Mar Golf Company, or DMGC, is opting not to manage the park anymore once their contract ends in December.

Fairgrounds officials say this prevents DMGC from entering into new long-term rental agreements extending past December.

It is unclear why DMGC said all stays would be limited to 21 days and why they did not state in the notice that they would be ceasing to manage the park.

DMGC declined to comment directly on why it is stepping away from the RV park. However, Fairgrounds officials said the company focuses solely on the other property they manage, the Del Mar Golf Center.

“They have already told us they want to stay.

qualified you for the residency there, the gods were like ‘here you go, here’s an awesome school, an awesome community, and here’s an affordable way to live there,” Ayala said.

Ayala added that longterm tenants provide a valuable source of income at the park, which he said is mainly empty throughout the non-summer months.

20 years of history

DMGC’s management of the Del Mar Golf Center and the Surf and Turf RV Park has been the status quo for over 20 years.

It’s unclear why the group initially took on this odd combination, with the original contract no longer retained in the Fairgrounds’ records.

Regardless, this is the first time the Fairgrounds has had to make management decisions regarding the Surf and Turf as its entity.

“It is interesting, this bridge of operating golf but also managing this RV operation for the district,” Moore said. “For the first time in what we know to be at least 20 years and probably going back further, we as the district are having to explore the separation of that.”

Fairgrounds leaders have not given a timeline for when they expect to make a decision but said they would inform park tenants when they have more information.

In the meantime, Ayala, Duckworth, Nicole and other residents must exit the park by May 31 and are unsure if they can return.

They just don’t want to manage the RV park anymore,” Fairgrounds CEO Carlene Moore said at the 22nd District Agricultural Association board’s May 9 meeting.

Residents are now looking to the Fairgrounds board to help them and allow them to return in the fall. Moore said staff is still

Man convicted in Vista killing

By City News Service VISTA — A 23-year-old man was convicted on May 22 of second-degree murder for shooting a Vista man inside the victim’s townhome.

Jheran Beverson faces up to 40 years to life in state prison for the Aug. 7, 2021, shooting death of 52-yearold Shannon Betz, who was found in his bedroom with a gunshot to the head.

Prosecutors allege Beverson and Betz first interacted with each other on a dating app, then arranged to meet at Betz’s home on Aug. 7.

Betz’s roommate, who was on vacation at the time, arrived at the home on the night of Aug. 8 and found Betz’s body.

According to the prosecution’s trial brief, photos of Beverson were found on Betz’s phone through the dating app. Beverson was arrested at his Oceanside home one week after Betz’s death.

Prosecutors allege location data from Beverson’s cell phone indicated he was in the area of Betz’s home around the time investigators believe the killing occurred.

“In any other situation, there would be some sort of move-in, move-out process that would make this thing softer than it is,” said Nicole, a Surf and Turf occupant for the last year who gave only her first name. “I understand this is an RV park, it’s not an apartment building, but we are tenants.”

Jack Duckworth, 73, has been a resident in the park since 2011. But, as a part-time substitute teacher in Carlsbad who depends on Social Security checks to cover other living costs, he isn’t sure how he’ll afford more expensive parks, and he’s concerned about having to leave his local doctors.

Encinitas closing Crest Drive link after sinkhole repairs

By Kaila Mellos ENCINITAS

— The Encinitas City Council voted on May 17 to close a temporary roadway link at the southern end of Crest Drive and construct a permanent gate once sinkhole repairs along Lake Drive are complete. The council’s unanimous vote came after hearing from over 30 concerned Cardiff residents who shared their frustrations with traffic flowing through the once-quiet neighborhood street.

After significant rain

events hit California earlier this year, a giant sinkhole became difficult for the city in late February, forcing Lake Drive to close due to safety concerns.

The closure left many neighborhood residents, including several housing developments near San Elijo Lagoon, with no road access in or out of the area.

As the timeline to repair the sinkhole continued to grow, contractors built an emergency roadway link between Wales Drive and Crest Drive, sending traffic to Crest Drive to improve

traffic flow for stranded residents.

Crest Drive is narrow and does not have any sidewalks. For years, the roadway was isolated from traffic and perfect for pedestrians. But since it opened with a 25 mph speed limit, many people living on or near the road have complained about safety concerns.

"It causes me anxiety every day," said Sarah Swiss, a Crest Drive resident with a 5-month-old daughter. “I’m constantly dodging cars… and it's not

a question of if someone going to get hit or killed, it's when.”

Two designs were drawn up as possible solutions to address the issues along Crest Drive, including installing a gate across the roadway connection link or keeping the connection open to traffic.

The gate, estimated to cost $100,000, is what many of the 30 residents favored at Wednesday’s meeting.

This option replaces the temporary pavement with new asphalt done to

city standards, and only firefighting personnel could remotely open the gate during emergencies due to the neighborhood’s high fire risk.

The other option of keeping the road open, estimated to cost $120,000, would have included new pavement, additional traffic analysis, and other documentation required because the area is in the state Coastal Commission’s review zone.

While the majority supported the construction of a barrier for its multiple safe-

ty standards, some favored keeping the road open as they feared the electronic gate might malfunction if there was an emergency.

The city’s fire chief and employees reassured the public that if there were an issue or a power outage, the gate’s default setting would leave it open.

“We are all very excited about the Lake Drive sinkhole project wrapping up, believe me,” Mayor Tony Kranz said as the hearing closed with applause. “We’re ready for this to happen.”

CA Senate subcommittee examines LOSSAN corridor issues

By Steve Puterski

REGION

— A state senate subcommittee met for the first time this month to address the significant concerns regarding the nation’s second busiest rail corridor.

Known as the Los Angeles-San Luis Obispo-San Diego, or LOSSAN, corridor, state Sen. Catherine Blakespear (D-Encinitas) chaired an informational hearing on May 16 in Sacramento for senators to hear from regional and state agencies regarding the dire need to improve the corridor.

Others on the subcommittee include state Sens. Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara), Josh Newman (D-Fullerton), Janet Nguyen (R-Huntington Beach) and Thomas Umberg (D-Santa Ana).

Representatives from the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency, SANDAG and Orange County Transit Authority stressed the need to realign tracks inland in their respective jurisdictions as soon as possible.

“It’s unprecedented because the LOSSAN corridor has never been in more jeopardy,” Blakespear said. “We need to make decisions on what the LOSSAN corridor should look like and do it fast. We need to identify strategies to avoid competition for funding … and look at models around the country to see what is achievable.”

Blakespear said some of the subcommittee’s aims are to identify goals and threats, improve service and ridership, and incorporate a more fluid system for freight according to future projections on population growth and goods and services.

State and federal governments have also identified double-tracking the 351-mile corridor to meet those goals.

The corridor is vital to the federal government and not just for economic purposes.

For example, the U.S. Department of Defense has identified it as part of the Strategic Rail Corridor Network (STRACNET) with its access to the naval fleet in San Diego and military bases in Miramar, Camp Pendleton and Vandenberg, according to Jason Jewell, managing director of the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency.

San Diego County

SANDAG Deputy CEO Ray Major and Danny Veey, SANDAG’s rail planning program manager, discussed the county’s 60 miles of rail but emphasized the urgency in Del Mar to move a five-mile stretch of tracks inland and build a tunnel under the city to avoid disaster along the increasingly temperamental coastal bluffs.

In Del Mar, the average bluff retreat is six inches per year in some places, according to Veey.

Last year, SANDAG received a $300 million grant from the state to begin realigning the tracks. Still, Major said the agency would need $3 to $4 billion to complete the project.

Both SANDAG officials said the agency is on track to begin construction by 2028 with an estimated completion date of 2035 if they can secure the funding.

In a presentation, Major and Veey showed a video depicting a bluff collapse near the rail line in 2019, along with another video featuring federal officials touring the line to see how close it runs to the bluff’s edge.

Major said each bluff collapse costs about $100 million to stabilize while knocking out service from San Diego. The stabilization work includes:

• Drilling piles and tie-backs to hold tracks laterally.

• Adding seawalls.

• Improving drainage and regrading the impacted area.

Passengers traveling to and from San Diego must take a bus, known as a bus bridge, to avoid an impacted area before reboarding a train at a different location.

“We need a major in-

pen,” Johnson said. “That exists on the highway side, it needs to exist on the publicly owned passenger side. It does exist on the private rail side.”

LOSSAN corridor

Jewell said the corridor dates back to 1887, with service from San Diego to Los Angeles beginning in 1938. There are several owners of specific tracks, such as the North County Transit District, which owns the 60mile stretch in San Diego County.

trict’s Coaster — along the corridor, which also hosts the busiest state-supported Amtrak service (Pacific Surfliner) in the country.

While freight accounts for 70 trains daily, delivering more than $1 billion in goods annually, the pandemic deeply impacted commuter and leisure travel along the rail line. Eightyfive percent use the trains for leisure, with a 30% uptick in weekend travel. However, ridership continues to struggle as passenger trips are down.

As of March, farebox recovery for the Pacific Surfliner is between 35%-40%, short of the state’s 50% mandate. In 2015, farebox recovery went from 64% to 80% just before the pandemic, Jewell said.

vestment in funds and the tunnel is a part of that,” Veey said. “The old bridges are expensive (to repair). There is no low-hanging fruit and everything else to do is hard.”

The final vision for the SANDAG corridor, Veey said, is a complete double-track rail line with highspeed trains traveling 110 mph.

Orange County

Since September 2022, the rail line in San Clemente has shut down service twice due to bluff collapses. The first collapse resulted in a six-month stabilization project, leaving passengers with fewer options to travel to San Diego County or vice versa. Two weeks after crews completed the work, the corridor shut down again after landslides in April forced the passage closed.

Like SANDAG, Orange County Transit Authority pours in millions for “BandAid” fixes, so urgency and permanent solutions are needed, said Darrell Johnson, the agency’s chief executive officer.

Johnson told the Transportation subcommittee that San Clemente’s beaches had lost 20 feet of sand over the past several years, further jeopardizing the tracks. While sand replenishment is a partial solution, Johnson said it can’t be the only one.

In addition, he compared the rail line to the highway system and how there are two different approaches to each with sagging results for rail. He said if those processes were in place, repairs for the September collapse would have seen faster decision-making and work.

“We do not have a good process in place to react quickly for when things hap-

Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe own 55% of the corridor.

There are three passenger rail operators — Metrolink, Amtrak and North County Transit Dis-

“Our trends were hovering around 70-75% ridership pre-COVID levels before the rail closure for Amtrak,” Jewell said. “It’s about 40%-50% now for Amtrak.”

In San Diego County, “prolonged interrupted service” projections could lead to 2,000 to 3,500 jobs lost, a GDP decrease between $200 million to $400 million per year, cumulative GDP losses in the billions, and losing permanent tenants at the Port of San Diego.

The LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency is search for other federal grant opportunities and is working with Caltrans to raise revenue without increasing fares.

Creating a family garden a perfect teaching opportunity

jano’s garden

When I was in high school, I was an excellent English student and artist, but I had a very difficult time learning history. The textbooks seemed out-of-date and boring, and my teacher recited dates, time periods and countries as if drawing from yet another textbook in her head.

But, when my dad, who was a commercial artist, decided that our Milwaukee family needed to spend Christmas in historic Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, a new world opened up to me.

Actors, performing daily life in the streets, shops and gardens depicted life in the early 18th century. The food, gardens and crafts of the Colonial period came to life and inspired me to learn more about historic gardens and food history.

Now, many years later, after studying both art and horticulture, I now have the pleasure of passing on my knowledge of gardening and nutrition to children and adults.

As one of the Master Gardener Educators at Cor-

nell University’s Cooperative Extensions, our goal was to teach parents, children and teachers how to grow food.

Serving as a consultant to the Kids Growing Food Project, I worked with dozens of other Master Gardener Educators to build 25 vegetable gardens throughout New York state and create an integrated curriculum for the elementary school classroom.

What emerged as the students’ favorite project was the construction of a Three Sisters Garden, following the educational guidelines of the Cornell curriculum.

LEARN THROUGH DOING

If you and your family have children or grandchildren home this summer, now is the perfect time to learn more about where food comes from and how to grow it.

The Cornell University publication, “The Three Sisters Garden,” is available free online and presents not only the historical background of this Iroquois garden, but also step-by-step instructions for planting this project at home or school.

“Corn, beans, and squash are considered by the Iroquois to be special gifts from the Great Spirit. The well-being of each crop is believed to be protected by one of the Three Sisters, spirits that are collectively called De-o-hako. This word means ‘our sustainers,’ or ‘those who support us,’

says Marcia Eames-Sheavly, from the Cornell University Department of Horticulture.

“The Three Sisters system refers to the planting of corn, pole beans, and squash or pumpkins together in hills. The practice of planting more than one type of crop together is called interplanting. Although this planting system is not common in the United States today, it is in Mexico.”

CREATING THE THREE SISTERS GARDEN

(Adapted from “The Tree Sisters Garden”)

Planting instructions

• Plan and select a site – plant your garden in late

spring once the danger of frost has passed. The corn can be planted anytime after the night temperatures are in the 50ºF range, but no later than June. Choose a site that has direct sunshine for most of the day (6-8 hours) and access to water.

• Prepare the soil –Build a mound about 12 inches high and 18 inches to 3 feet in diameter. If you’re in a dry area, flatten the top of the mound and make a shallow depression to keep water from running off.

• Plant corn – soak four to seven corn seeds for several hours, but not more than eight hours before planting. Soaked seeds may dry out quickly, so keep the seeds

well watered for the first week or two if the soil is not kept moist by rain showers. Plant the seeds about 6 inches apart in the center of the mound. You will eventually thin to three or four seedlings. In the San Diego area, it is useful to select corn that is specifically designed for our climate. Check the San Diego Seed Company (sandiegoseedcompany.com) for their suggestions.

• Plant beans – when the corn is at least 6 inches high, soak and then plant six pole bean seeds in a circle about 6 inches away from the corn. You'll eventually thin to three or four bean seedlings, leaving only the healthiest ones to produce. Be sure to

purchase a pole bean, not a bush bean for this project. Kentucky pole beans or scarlet runner beans work well.

• Squash or pumpkins – Depending on the length of your garden, choose butternut squash, kombucha or acorn squash. Each of these varieties will sprawl to over 10 feet in length given the opportunity. Plant six seeds next to the mound, 1 foot away from the beans, eventually thinning to two strong seedlings.

• Watering – your plants will need water each week. If it does not rain at least an inch per week, the planting will need to be irrigated. If you are using presoaked seed, remember to water more frequently at first.

USING YOUR GARDEN BOUNTY

There will be so many ways that your family can enjoy the corn, beans and squash throughout the summer, and check the Cornell University website (cornell. edu) for recipes such as corn soup, cornbread and white corn mush.

Please send us your family summer gardening ideas and we might just publish them next time.

PUMPIN’ UP THE JAMS

Oceanside-based roller derby team kicked off a new season this month

By Laura Place

OCEANSIDE — As far as contact sports go, there’s nothing quite like roller derby.

At Oceanside’s Martin Luther King Jr. Park, the sound of the whistle marking the start of a two-minute jam sets off a mad flurry of movement, a tangle of interlocked elbows and wheel-clad feet moving down the skate track.

Out of the jostling chaos, the North County Derby Alliance jammer Amberlee Johnson, aka Ambo, breaks free through the wall of Santa Barbara-based Brawlin’ Betties blockers and sails around the track, earning cheers from her blue-clad team as she completes her lap and rejoins the pack.

The May 20 derby bout was the second of the season for North County Derby Alliance, an Oceanside-based team that draws players from throughout North County San Diego and even southern Orange County.

For its members, some of whom have competed for over a decade, the team and the sport have given them newfound confidence and a strong sense of family.

“Derby saved my soul. It’s changed my life — it’s literally been the highlight of my life,” said Candace Kanefsky aka Candy Azzkicker, one of NCDA’s founding members and a full-time player and coach. “It made me believe I was capable of more than I thought I was.”

NCDA was formed in

2015 after a group of about 15 women split off from another Oceanside team in hopes of forming a league that would be more structured and fulfilling. According to Kanefsky, it started with the mission that everyone would have a voice, and it grew from there.

The team now has 28 active members, ranging in age from the 20s to 50s, who came to the sport for different reasons. Many came for their love of derby and stayed because of the sense of community.

Marcella Maynard, aka Sharky, started playing derby in 2014 while navigating difficulties in her personal life. After seeing a group of skaters practicing at a park one day, she decided to get involved and quickly found catharsis in the high-intensity, high-adrenaline sport.

“I was going through a terrible divorce, and it was a way to have an outlet for the stress. You have the teammates to get you through the hard days, and that’s what it did,” said Maynard, another NCDA founding member. “You’re a family, and you trust each other. That’s what’s kept me around — I wouldn't have that support system in my life without derby.”

Anyone who watches a bout will see that derby is not for the faint of heart. During a bout, each team has a jammer and four blockers on the track, and points are scored when the jammer passes blockers on the opposing team. Bouts

Valley HS hires principal

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO

— Valley High School will have a new principal beginning next year.

The Escondido Union High School District board named Jose Espinoza as the incoming principal for Valley at the May 16 meeting.

Espinoza will finish his role as principal at Henry J. Kaiser High School in the Fontana Unified School District before officially starting his new role in Escondido on July 1. He previously held director roles in the San Bernardino County Office of Education overseeing assessment, English language learners and school improvement.

“My immediate goal is to meet the Valley High School staff, students and parents, learn more about the amazing programs available to students and

what I can do to support

them,” Espinoza said.

Valley is the district’s continuation school, which aims to help students who are at risk of not graduating on time in a conventional high school setting.

“I have always had a special interest in working with students in need,” Espinoza said. “I think this interest stems from having been a continuation high school student myself. Valley High School is a school that does exceptional work supporting and educating the most vulnerable students, and I wanted to be a part of that effort.”

Espinoza holds a master’s degree in education from California State University, San Bernardino and a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and comparative literature from the University of California, Irvine.

The school board and superintendent are confident in choosing Espinoza to lead Valley given his experience and drive to ensure student success.

which uses radio frequencies to melt fat away and tighten.

Lulu and Tiana specialize in providing a variety of facials at the practice, including the Fire and Ice Facial that reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and the Dermaplaning Facial which helps reduce the appearance of acne scars.

“We have a very large menu of different types of facials,” Benjamin said. Nurse practitioner Tatyana Tayts, who has been with Moradi MD for three years, performs the majority of the practice’s medical procedures in Carlsbad including injectables like BOTOX and

Restylane, as well as laser treatments, skin resurfacing, feminine rejuvenation and more.

Tatyana receives help from Hanna Dupre, a medical assistant at Moradi MD. Dupre will soon start her prerequisites to become a nurse practitioner like Tatyana in the cosmetic industry.

Together the four enjoy the culture at Moradi MD, which they describe as family-oriented and accommodating to both patients and staff.

“This practice is more patient-focused with an emphasis on ethics,” Tatyana said.

Through consultations, staff learns the needs and wants of their patients to figure out exactly which procedure is best-suited for them.

All four enjoy seeing how they boost their patients’ confidence through the procedures they perform, which is what led them to the cosmetic and aesthetic industry in the first place. “Boosting people’s confidence is a big part of what led me here,” Hanna said. “Seeing the difference it makes in people’s lives is very rewarding.”

Award Winning ‘TREE DOCTOR’ uses special techniques for exceptional results

Since 1985, Russell Bowman has been delighting residents of San Diego County with his plant and tree expertise.

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

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

Using his own proprietary blend of organic biological nutrition, Bowman feeds plants at night — a technique he picked up during his time as a horticulturist at Disneyland.

“When you feed plants at night, they have enough time to absorb the nutrition, before it is degraded by the sun’s rays,” he said. “That’s why, when most people are winding down their days, eating dinner, and going to bed, we are out feeding plants and trees.”

He’s done more than just care for sick plants and trees, he’s revolutionized both residential and commercial properties by the use of his organic fertilizer tanks that inject his magical

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

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

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

It’s the perfect time to take stock of all the ways you can protect your pet and greatly increase your chances of reuniting with them should they ever become lost.

"Losing a pet is a stressful, scary and sometimes a costly experience," said Dr. Gary Weitzman, president and CEO of San Diego Humane Society. "One in three pets will become lost during their lifetime. Those odds are far too high to put off implementing these protective measures.”

It all starts with the basics: a well-fitting collar with an ID tag.

This is essential, even for pets who remain primarily indoors or in fenced yards. Make sure your contact information is always up-to-date, and even if you don’t have tags, writing your phone number in permanent marker directly on a collar can make a difference!

This program reduces the households use of water overall by 30%.

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

“When you give your body proper nutrition, it affects your overall health and boosts your immunity, so you don’t get sick. The same is true for plants and trees.”

Bowman feeds complete “nutrition delivery biology” derived from earthworm

castings to replenish the missing healthy soil biology.

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

“This is the secret to keeping your property looking like a five-star resort.”

Microchipping is another important step we can take to make our pets easily identifiable if they’re found by someone else.

A tiny chip (the size of a grain of rice) containing a unique identification number is placed under the skin of your pet in a quick and painless procedure. Animal shelters and veterinarians can scan for the presence of a microchip. Your contact information will show up, making it

easy to identify the lost pet and reunite them with you. A third piece of protection for your pet is their license, which is not only required by law, but gives you additional protection. Microchips and licenses serve as supplemental methods of identification to collars and tags, which — while still critical — can fall off or become lost. They can also help protect your pet from theft, giving you recourse to reclaim your pet if it is found in someone else’s possession.

San Diego Humane Society provides licensing services for all pet owners in their jurisdiction, as well as affordable microchipping clinics. These one-time expenses can save pet owners both time and money spent on searching for a lost pet or paying reclamation fees — and the peace of mind will last for the rest of your pet’s life.

If you do lose a pet, text LOST to 858-SANLOST (858-726-5678) to access San Diego Humane Society’s Lost2Found automated texting service, which provides valuable tips to help in your search. But most importantly, make sure you have taken all the proper steps to protect your pet and ensure they can be identified if they are found as a stray.

— Intensive analysis of genetic evidence has enabled investigators to identify a woman’s remains found in Warner Springs 37 years ago as those of a presumed homicide victim who had gone missing in the mid-1980s, authorities reported this week.

Through DNA testing and investigative genetic genealogy, detectives with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department determined that the body discovered near a campsite on Los Coyotes Indian Reservation on Feb. 16, 1986, was that of Claudette Powers, who had disappeared in September 1984 at age 22.

The remains of another murder victim were found in the same general area around the same time, according to the regional law enforcement agency. The slain man remains unidentified, and investigators believe that the two cases may be connected.

Authorities have withheld the cause or causes of the victims’ deaths.

Powers, a Michigan native, moved to San Diego County in 1983 or 1984, according to sheriff’s officials. She is believed to have lived in San Diego or Escondido, possibly residing on Fig Street in the latter city and working at a neighborhood restaurant just prior to her suspicious death.

Over the ensuing decades, detectives kept working the case, regularly reviewing missing-person reports and seeking the public’s help in identifying the two victims.

In February of last year, with the leads in the case remaining elusive, the sheriff’s Cold Case Team turned to investigative genetic genealogy, in which crime-scene DNA profiles are uploaded to consumer genealogy websites in hopes of locating family members of victims or perpetrators.

In addition to comparing genetic markers obtained from a sample of Powers’ hair to online DNA profiles, investigators conducted research via census records, obituaries and other publicly accessible information, eventually tracking down a person believed to be a relative of the victim’s.

The process eventually led investigators to Powers’ daughters, sister and mother. A DNA sample confirmed the family match, allowing for the positively identification of Powers’ remains.

Having been able at last to lay Powers to rest and get confirmation about the nature of her death, the victim’s family hopes that someone with knowledge of what led to the murder will break their silence and help fill in some of the missing parts of the story -- including who may have killed her.

“It’s been really hard on our family,’’ said Powers’ youngest sister, Laura Freese. “Somebody knows what happened. A neighbor -- anybody that knew her knows what happened. If you ... knew my sister and (know) what happened to

Henry Cowen, 44, was convicted by a Vista jury of first-degree murder for the death of 43-year-old Sabrina Lukosky, who was reported missing by her family on Oct. 3, 2019.

Cowen was sentenced in 2021 to 55 years to life in state prison.

her, please come forward. Please, we need closure.”

In light of the break in the investigation, the Sheriff’s Department has put out a new call for help from the public in determining who killed Powers — and, possibly, the unidentified male victim.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call San Diego County Crime Stoppers at 888580-8477 or contact the agency online at sdcrimestoppers.org.

Man’s conviction upheld for girlfriend’s murder in Encinitas

An appellate court panel upheld the murder conviction on May 19 for a man found guilty in the death of

Less than a week after Lukosky disappeared, San Diego County sheriff's deputies were alerted to a foul odor near the home on Summit Avenue. Lukosky’s body was found inside a granny flat located behind Cowen's mother’s home.

An autopsy revealed she had been strangled and several of her ribs had been broken.

According to an opinion issued Friday by a three-justice panel of the Fourth District Court of Appeal, Cowen testified that Lukosky threatened to kill him and tried to cut his throat with a broken bottle. He testified that he punched her in self-defense.

The appellate panel also rejected contentions that jurors were improperly allowed to hear evidence of prior domestic violence involving Cowen.

Jurors heard an ex-girlfriend’s testimony that he strangled her.

Powers’ guitars inspired by local waves

water spot

Ilike to say that I knew Andy Powers’ name even before he did. It’s

been that many years since I first met his mother Nancy and father, Chuck, and older brother Sam.

While precocious, Sam was in diapers at the time, and so still a few years away from becoming the outstanding surfer, musician, and woodworker he is today.

As they grew, the brothers, and their soon to arrive sister, Sarah, were not like other kids. Thank home schooling and a loving family for their being polite, attentive, and embracing life to the fullest, especially when it pertained to the ocean or music.

The brothers were not yet in their teens when I bought a small wooden surfboard replica from them on the beach for ten bucks. I still have that board and find that it holds up as a nice piece of sculpture regardless of the age of the builder.

Over the years I would find the boys riding some of the offbeat surfboards

they made: Ekstrom-inspired asymmetricals, Wegener- styled Alaia’s, wooden planks, and other more conventual board designs, most of which they ripped upon.

Stringed instruments are not easy to build, and while still in his teens, a ukulele Andy built caught the attention of famed musician Elvis Costello, who bought one.

This led to other famed musicians buying Andy’s instruments, local phenoms Jon and Tim Foreman of the band Switchfoot among them. Then came more surfboards and more guitars and

the next time I looked up Andy had been hired as the head luthier for Taylor Guitars.

A few years back I visited Andy in the factory where he showed me a work in progress, a guitar he was building for Taylor Swift. I am no one to judge its musical capabilities, but the hand-crafted mother of pearl alone, slinking down the neck, made this a work of art rarely rivaled in my limited experience.

One thing led to another and without anyone noticing, Andy had become the CEO of Taylor.

Odd Files

News You Can Use

A few weeks ago, I got a call from Andy requesting I monitor an event at Necessary Coffee/Maek Ceramics in the backstreets of Encinitas.

Taylor had brought in guitar shop owners and Taylor reps from as far afield as Boston to view a new guitar Andy was releasing. Of course, it was stunning, but that was not the point of the show.

Andy had wanted to reveal how growing up in the musical surf town of Encinitas had influenced his work, especially in the cross pollination between surfboards and guitars.

I had never considered that the two were linked, even though when I began surfing, the King of The Surf Guitar, Dick Dale had just released his album, “Surfer’s Choice,” music that to me still sounds like riding a wave. According to surf legend Skip Frye, “every wave has its own rhythm.”

From there it’s just a short leap to wondering what sort of music a surfboard would play if it was fitted with guitar strings.

I would ask Andy, but I think I already know his answer. It would probably be something like, “That depends on the wave, because Swami’s doesn’t play the same tune as Pipeline.”

Not a moment too soon, Oscar Mayer announced on May 17 that it is changing the name of its iconic Wienermobile to the Frankmobile, CNN reported. The company says the name change “pays homage” to its new recipe for hot dogs, which will roll out this summer. Uh-huh.

A company spokesperson said the change is a test; they’ll have “to see if it cuts the mustard” with fans. The Wienermobile first appeared in 1936; 23 of the eye-catching vehicles now travel around the country.

Extreme Measures

In vino, vie ... or something like that. Lillian Ip of Cheltenham, Australia, was stranded in the country's remote bushland for five days in late April after she took a wrong turn and became stuck in mud, United Press International reported.

Sgt. Martin Torpey of the Wodonga police said Ip had planned just a day trip, “so she had taken a couple of snacks and lollies with her, but no water. The only liquid Lillian, who doesn’t drink, had with her was a bottle of wine she had bought as a gift for her mother.” Without cell service, Ip couldn’t call for help. Her family notified police about her absence, and a four-day search over the region included helicopters.

Cheeky

British IBM IT professional Ian Clifford, 50, has not worked since September 2008 as he battled mental-health issues and stage 4 leukemia, Business Insider reported.

Clifford has been on sick leave for 15 years, collecting a salary of almost $68,000 per year after reaching an agreement with IBM in 2013.

But in February 2022, Clifford testified in an employment tribunal that he had been treated unfairly because he hadn’t had a salary increase since the 2013 agreement went into place. He argued that inflation was causing his income to “wither” and sought a pay raise of 2.5%.

making sexual comments to young female employees, as well as attempting to have sexual relationships with young female employees,” according to the lawsuit.

Nolan allegedly had “favorites,” young female employees that received more flexible shift schedules and expensive gifts, such as bikes, surfboards, alcohol and illegal drugs.

Along with the favoritism shown to certain employees, Nolan also made unwelcome comments towards female staff, calling them “angels,” “sexy,” and “heartbreakers,” and commenting on employees’ physical appearances, the complaint alleges.

Nolan also allegedly touched staff on their waists, lower backs, and shoulders and invited female employees to sleep over or live fulltime at his home.

If the female employees did not comply with his actions, Nolan allegedly retaliated against them, removing them from the schedule, firing them, physically intimidating them, or unfairly reprimanding them in front of restaurant customers.

One female employee claims Nolan occasionally threw heavy receipt rolls and cardboard boxes at her.

Nolan was not the only named defendant in the lawsuit. Several cooks at other restaurant locations, a dishwasher at Honey’s Bistro and Swami’s Café owner Jaime Osuna were also listed in the complaint filed earlier this month in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.

According to the court

documents, Osuna was present and joined Nolan when he commented on a 17-yearold new hire being a “tall, beautiful Venezuelan.”

Per the complaint, the company never took any steps to prevent harassing behavior from continuing, as many who complained were eventually fired or left on their own. The company allegedly had no sexual harassment training or human resources department for employees to file complaints.

Swami’s operations manager Hulises Contreras carried out all HR functions, but “the company never informed its employees of this and did not make employees aware of any complaint mechanism other than complaining to their supervisors, often the harassers,” according to the court documents.

In addition to this lawsuit, the federal employment

oversight agency has reported an increase in cases involving younger workers not being informed of their rights and encouraged by their employers to not come forward about workplace issues.

“We are seeing more cases involving younger workers who may not be aware of their rights or may be hesitant to report harassment because this is their first time in the workforce,” said Anna Park, regional attorney for the EEOC’s Los Angeles District Office, whose jurisdiction includes San Diego County.

Per court filings, Nolan threatened several of the employees after the start of the investigation, texting them that they would be “in trouble” if they cooperated with the investigation. Nolan also texted staff members about the employee who

came forward to investigators, calling her “a liar and mean disturbed person.”

Nolan reportedly called the commission’s investigation an “attempt to extort Swamis Café,” and asked for “anyone who will agree to testify against the charging party, please forward that in writing, it will shut her down.”

The suit claims the conduct of Nolan and others violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which protects employees from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.

Swami’s has cooperated with the investigation that launched in July 2022. The federal agency is seeking monetary damages for the claimants, including compensatory and punitive damages, and injunctive relief against the company.

Finally, Ip was spotted waving her arms, and police were directed to her location. “I thought I was going to die there,” she said. [UPI, 5/9/2023]

Unclear on Concept

When cake-baker Brianna Romero of El Paso, Texas, got an order for a birthday cake this spring, she was on board, NBC New York reported on May 10. The customer wanted an emo cake, so Romero put her newly perfected black icing to the test and constructed the confection.

Before she delivered it, she said, she asked the client if they wanted a number on the cake. “Yes,” the client answered, “it’s for my granddaughter and she’s turning 4.” Romero “thought it was a little bit weird ... but maybe she just likes ‘Wednesday’ or something like that.”

Still, wanting to cover her bases, she asked the client for the theme of the party. When she got the answer — “Sesame Street” — it all became clear. “I misread emo and it says ‘Elmo cake.’”

Romero rushed to a local grocery, where the bakery topped the cake with an Elmo image; Romero gave the cake to the client for free. Social media ate the story up, with more than 10 million views on Twitter. [NBC New York, 5/10/2023]

Penfolds wines at The Butcher Shop taste of wine

After the success of early sherries and fortified wines such as Tawny Port for medicinal purposes, Penfolds wine company was officially established in 1844 at Magill Estate in South Australia by founders Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold.

Mary assumed responsibility for the winery following Christopher's death in 1870, leading Penfolds to become a major player in South Australia's wine production. By the time Mary retired in 1884, turning over management to her daughter Georgina, Penfolds was responsible for one-third of the region's wine output.

Slainte! from Ireland’s Tig Bhric

By Jeffrey Spanier

In the midst of the pandemic, with plans for travel canceled, I started hunting online for a “dream pub” to visit whenever normalcy returned.

My investigation led me to the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland and to Tig Bhric Pub & West Kerry Brewing. What I found was a storied venue that seemed to check off everything I’d ever wanted to see, hear and experience in an Irish pub.

The pub has been in operation for over a hundred years. And the beer brewed on premises has its own story.

This spring, with my wife and daughter, I stepped into Tig Bhric. And what I found there was a story that was heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once. And the story was accompanied by amazing beers unlike any I’ve ever experienced before.

The hearth is the symbolic heart of a home. In mythology, it is the place where male and female powers are safely contained to warm a home, provide shelter and safety and promote love. Upon entering Tig Bhric, the wood-burning fire in the brick hearth welcomed us with an immediate feeling of belonging and comfort. And, as did everyone and everything here, it came with a story.

Adrienne Heslin, owner and brewer, graciously spent the next two hours sharing the history of Tig Bhric, her story and her beer. The pub has been in operation for over 100 years and in the family for four generations.

Heslin and her partner, Pádraig Bhric, took over the operation of the pub in 1999 when Bhric inherited the pub. Tragically,

Bhric passed away in 2001. Heslin decided to forge on with their dreams for the pub. Those plans included brewing their own beer.

In 2006, Heslin became the first woman to found and manage a microbrewery in Ireland. This brings me back to the hearth. The beautiful mantle is made from a piece of wood found on a Cúl Dorcha (a local beach).

The wood was excavated by Bhric and given to Heslin, an accomplished artist. In turn, Heslin carved and placed the stunning piece above the fireplace completing the hearth and transforming the center of the pub into not only a memorial to Bhric but a heartwarming welcome to all who enter.

The first beer brewed,

Cúl Dorcha, of course. A dark ale with deep maltiness and ever-so-slight dark chocolate notes. And

like all the West Kerry beers, Cúl Dorcha is made with its own well water, which adds a creamy, less carbonated mouthfeel.

After a week of drinking Guinness all over Dublin, I thought I couldn’t find a creamier, more delightful texture in a beer. Every beer sampled at West Kerry – that is to say, all the beer at West Kerry – features this unique experience based on the oneof-a-kind water profile.

Paul O Loingsigh, the barman, grew up in the pub. In fact, his father was born in the pub. So, when it comes to stories about Tig Bhric, O Loingsigh is the man. He is also a highly respected beer connoisseur who talked us through each tasting.

His favorite on this day was the English cask ale, a flavorful, malty beer that was surprisingly robust considering it was only 3.7% abv.

O Loingsigh recalled the days when the pub also served as a grocery store and gas station. He returned from England to assist Heslin. When I

In 1948, Max Schubert became the company's first Chief Winemaker and introduced the iconic Penfolds Grange in the 1950s.

The tradition of 'bin wines' started in 1959 with Kalimna Bin 28. Since 1998, Penfolds winemakers have been actively involved in California, cultivating a deep understanding of the region.

The esteemed Napa Valley AVAs, including Oakville, Diamond Mountain District and Rutherford, have played a significant role in providing exceptional grapes for Penfolds’ Quantum, Bin 149, and Bin 704 wines.

Penfolds’ commitment to innovation continued with the release of 12 handcrafted ampoules of the rare 2004 Kalimna Block Cabernet Sauvignon in 2012.

Two years later, Penfolds celebrated a perfect 100 score for the 2008 Grange and its 170th anniversary. Today, the winery remains dedicated to its rich history and timeless philosophies.

Penfolds’ illustrious history took center stage at Sal Ercolano's Butcher Shop restaurant during a

captivating wine dinner.

Led by executive chef Brian Gist, who crafted remarkable pairings, and accompanied by Republic National Distribution Company managers John Parker and Hannah O’Donnell, who shared the captivating story of Penfolds, the evening was a special experience of fine wines and exquisite cuisine.

Gist showcased his culinary expertise with a first course of spicy octopus, complemented by a honeydew lemon yogurt sauce. This delightful dish was beautifully paired with the lime and honeydew aromas of the bone-dry 2022 Bin 51 Eden Valley Riesling.

The second course featured an arugula salad with heirloom tomatoes, white peaches, and a citrus vinaigrette, topped with an incredible almond-crusted goat cheese puck.

Accompanying this exquisite salad was the 2020 Bin 311 Chardonnay, known for its white peach notes and subtle floral tones.

Despite the challenging 2020 vintage in Australia, the winemakers managed to create an exceptional 93-point James Suckling, 93-point Vinous, and 92-point Robert Parker winner.

ano delighted guests with the third and fourth courses: Coco Chili Rub Pork Tenderloin and Moroccan Spiced Lamb Chops, either of which could have easily been the main course.

The pork tenderloin, served with a black currant demi and cauliflower puree, was expertly paired with the 2020 Bin 28 Shiraz (Syrah in many regions), showcasing cherries, currant, cocoa, and a touch of coconut from its 12 months of aging in new American oak.

The lamb chop plate, accompanied by saffron-flavored Israeli couscous and toasted garlic broccolini, harmonized perfectly with the dense black fruit palate, cinnamon, and spice aromas of the 2019 Bin 704 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

The Bin 28 received high accolades, including a 94+ points rating from Rob-

ert Parker, 94 points from Wine Spectator, and 93 points from James Suckling. Meanwhile, Bin 704 was honored as a 95-point Wine Enthusiast Editor's choice.

To conclude the evening, guests savored a delectable dark chocolate brownie topped with vanilla gelato, toffee, and salted caramel,

paired harmoniously with the Club Tawny. This exquisite dessert provided a perfect ending to a remarkable dinner crafted by Chef Brian while paying homage to Penfolds' historical roots as a medicinal wine provider.

Undoubtedly, the Club Tawny of today far surpasses the fortified wine offerings of

the 1800s. See penfolds.com.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL

BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned o may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying o all liens senior to the lien being auctioned o , before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s o ce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 106127-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone

information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT:

E ective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www. clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 106127-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Problems begin to affect relationships, both personal and professional. Act now to shore up those weak foundations before it all comes crashing down around you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Take a break from all that hard work you’ve been doing. There’s nothing like some well-earned fun and games to charge up those Bovine batteries and send you back fully energized and ready to go.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

Deception can sometimes affect perception. You should take a longer, deeper look at what you’re being offered. Things might not be quite what you first thought they were.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A friend’s loyalty suddenly comes into question. But, before you rush to judgment, listen to what they have to say. This could be an important learning lesson for you.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The time has come for you to set things right. Your courage will help you meet the difficult challenge ahead. Others will be inspired by your actions and rally to support you.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A stubborn insistence that your way is the only way to solve problems could make things worse than they are. Open your mind to suggestions from others.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A close associate reveals a secret that could affect an upcoming decision. Rely on your natural instinct to weigh everything carefully, to help you get through this dilemma.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Congratulations! Your decision to take action and deal with a long-simmering situation in the workplace begins to pay off. In addition, a family member has some good news.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You still need to persuade your partner that you’re sincere in wanting to save this relationship. Remember: Performance speaks louder than promises.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A disappointment in the workplace can be a blessing in disguise. Take another look at your goals and see if this is the path you really want to follow.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Avoid winding up in the middle of an unpleasant family situation by reassuring your cantankerous kinfolk that you love them all — but that you won’t take sides.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20)

A successful workplace move begins to pay off with offers of new opportunities, but some might come with strings attached. Check them all carefully before deciding.

Scottsdale honors past, stays ‘as contemporary as possible’

oversized Andalucian terracotta oil jars, pillared walkways and rich landscaping transport guests to the villages of southern Spain.

ASan Diego-Scottsdale, Arizona, connection lies in Mount Hope Cemetery southeast of downtown on Market Street. Buried in Section 26, Row A, Grave 16 is Winfield Scott, early settler of the city that now bears his name.

“Scott (who died in 1910) is buried in an area where Civil War veterans are buried,” says Scottsdale historian Joan Fudala. “He would spend summers in San Diego with his son and daughter-in-law.”

Scott, a well-educated minister, traveled much of the country, including California, before coming to Arizona’s Salt River Valley, where in 1888, he purchased 640 acres along the Arizona Canal.

“Today’s Old Town is the original (Scottsdale) settlement,” Fudala says. “It was considered a Western town but not a Tombstone. We were a tame town; the early settlers were religious and teetotalers. The town was slow to grow between 1888 and World War II, after which everything changed. People started coming in droves to live and start busi-

nesses here. When the town incorporated in 1951, it was less than a square mile.”

Today, the city of 243,000 spans 185 square miles, including the 30,500acre McDowell Sonoran Preserve.

Post-World War II, the tourism and health care industries expanded exponentially.

“People were sent here for the climate and health camps,” Fudala says, and Scottsdale adopted the popular 1950s Hollywood image found in Western films. Its chosen motto: “The West’s Most Western Town.”

“We put up hitching posts and water troughs and

called the gas station the livery stable,” Fudala says. “We had a kitschy-looking cowboy sign put up in 1952. A lot of photos were taken in front of that sign.”

Through the 1960s and 1970s, Scottsdale grew in size, height and sophistication, and in the 1980s and 1990s, “we realized it was really important to preserve local assets and started declaring historic properties, getting them on the National Register. We are trying to honor our past and be as contemporary as possible.”

Toward that end, the one-square-mile Old Town Scottsdale of today is divided into nine themed

districts. One district still features the souvenir, Western wear and Native American jewelry shops; the other eight districts offer museums, public art installations, art galleries, performing arts center, trendy boutiques, fountains, grand architecture, bistros and a baseball stadium for the San Francisco Giants’ spring training.

Scottsdale even has a waterfront.

For decades, the Arizona Canal was seen “like a utility that you don’t look at,” Fudala says. “You’d see dumpsters at the back doors of the stores along the canal.”

A millennium light bulb went off and by the early 2000s, canal-side real estate featured hotels, restaurants, public art, a seemingly never-ending green belt with a miles-long hiking-biking trail, and staging area for the annual Canal Convergence.

For our four-day Scottsdale exploration, we headquartered at Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia, which features a piece of California history. One of the 450 bells that once marked our state’s Royal Road (El Camino Real) is in the hotel’s Cortijo Plaza. Tiled fountains, giant, carved-teak doors,

Deepen the immersion with the Prado Restaurant’s paella offerings. A nearby challenging trail up Camelback Mountain takes hikers to 1,420 feet and a 360-degree view.

Outdoor dining? Scottsdale has alfresco down:

• Cinnamon rolls for dinner? Why not. “It’s our version of bread and butter,” says our server, David, at El Chorro. The Crab & Tuna Tower and Beef Stroganoff with creamy vermouth sauce also are scrumptious standouts.

• Every night is a fiesta on the expansive, tree-covered patio at Old Town Tortilla Factory. Heaters and misters make for yearround comfort. Best bets: mahi tacos, green enchiladas and the signature redchili pork chop.

• Enjoy unmatched views of dramatic desert-rock landscape while savoring regular and gluten-free pizza at Lou’s Bar & Grill at Papago Golf Club.

• Great food and nostalgia are artfully combined at Postino Highland, where the mid-century architecture of a former bank encloses a tree-shaded patio. Impossible to pass on the bruschetta “buffet.”
