Detox site fans tension

Locals scrutinize safety, proximity

By Leo Place

SAN

MARCOS

— Several San Marcos residents are raising community safety concerns after Interfaith Community Services proposed a 150-bed substance use disorder treatment facility for a property along West Mission Road near several schools.

The wellness and recovery campus is planned for the San Marcos United Methodist Church’s property at 800 West Mission Road, where a Montessori preschool also operates. As proposed, the facility would provide crucial detox and substance abuse recovery beds for the North County region.

The project is still up in the air while Interfaith waits to hear if it will receive funding through California’s Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) under Proposition 1. Grant recipients will be announced in May.

If this funding is approved, the project will be able to move forward by-right, meaning that it must be approved ministerially by the city.

On April 8, the San Marcos City Council approved a memorandum of understanding with Interfaith and the church outlining operating standards for the facility.

There was no discussion at the time, but after news of the project spread, several surprised residents spoke out in opposition

Sheriff investigates body found in home

By City News Service FALLBROOK —

Detectives from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department on April 24 are investigating the circumstances surrounding a body found inside a residence in Fallbrook.

Sheriff’s deputies responded to a home in the 3000 block of Willow Heights Road at 9:30 a.m. on April 23 after a person reported checking on the residence and possibly seeing a body inside,

the department said.

Upon their arrival, deputies confirmed the person found inside the residence was dead. The sheriff’s homicide unit responded and is investigating the person’s death. Anyone with information regarding this case was asked to call Crime Stoppers at 888580-8477. Callers with information that leads to an arrest may be eligible for a reward up to a $1,000.

Cyclists, officials reignite bike lane dispute

Commissioner calls for removal of bollards, curbs

By Jordan P. Ingram

ENCINITAS — Doz-

ens of bicycle crashes along a stretch of Coast Highway 101 in Cardiff have triggered renewed calls from residents, public officials and cycling safety advocates for the city to overhaul a controversial barrier-protected cycle track.

Since April 2020, at least 42 crashes — including 19 serious injuries and one fatality — have occurred along the 1.3-mile section between Chesterfield Drive and the Solana Beach border, according to combined crash data from state and local sources.

That represents a more than 400% increase in serious crashes compared to the 14 years before the installation of protected bike lanes along both sides of the highway, according to Ron Medak, a member of the city’s Mobility and Traffic Safety Commission, who presented the data during an April 14 meeting.

“We didn’t make it safer — we made it significantly more dangerous,” Medak told The Coast News.

Medak, a retired anesthesiologist and longtime cyclist who frequently rides along Coast Highway 101, said his goal is to improve safety for as many people as possible, stressing the importance of objective data over anecdotal emotional appeals when evaluating traffic safety measures.

“I don’t like seeing unnecessary injuries or death,” Medak said. “That’s why I got on the commission. I

want to make Encinitas a great place for bicyclists.”

Based on the number of incidents over the last five years, Medak suggested replacing the existing barriered bike lanes between Chesterfield Drive and Solana Beach with wider, buffered Class II lanes. He noted the current road design now allows enough space to install broader bike lanes in both directions.

The proposal would require restriping and barrier removal, which Medak described as “relatively inexpensive” compared to the human and financial costs of injuries and fatalities. If implemented, the traffic commissioner also recommends that the city begin collecting usage data as soon as possible to determine whether the changes have impacted the number of riders and pedestrians using the lanes.

The concept of a protected bike lane, physically separated from vehicles by

plastic bollards and concrete berms, is relatively new to California. For decades, bike riders have been accustomed to Class II lanes, the standard type of bike lane.

The Class IV lane was created under the state’s Protected Bikeways Act of 2014, which established the design and guidelines for barriered cycle tracks.

In September 2019, state Sen. Catherine Blakespear, then serving as mayor of Encinitas, heralded a proposal to install a protected cycle track in Cardiff.

“It’s abundantly clear to many of us who are recreational cyclists that we’d like to feel safe riding kids to school, the beach, dinner, or work,” Blakespear wrote. “And the typical road infrastructure of painted bike lanes next to speeding traffic doesn’t make us feel safe enough to choose to ride a bike, especially with a child on board.”

The current configura-

tion of protected lanes along Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas, installed in 2020 for $954,000, included vehicle lane reductions, painted bike lanes lined with green flex posts (or bollards) and wheel stops, and revised striping. Before the changes, the roadway consisted of two vehicle lanes and one standard bike lane in each direction.

In the lead-up to the installation of the barriered cycle track, several public officials and cyclists spoke out against the proposal, highlighting concerns over the addition of bollards and curb stops. During a City Council meeting on Sept. 5, 2019, then-Solana Beach Mayor David Zito urged Encinitas officials in a letter to reject the proposed Class IV protected bike lanes, warning it would create new safety hazards while degrading one of the region’s most scenic corridors.

Zito, an avid cyclist for

over 40 years, said the design would primarily benefit recreational riders at the expense of safety and usability for pedestrians, runners and experienced cyclists. Additionally, Zito pointed to the visual impacts of “ugly” plastic bollards along “one of the most beautiful” corridors in the county.”

“Given all of the above points, and many raised by others, I would encourage you to not approve the proposed design, but rather continue to work toward a better solution for all users of the corridor,” Zito wrote.

Karl Rudnick, a Solana Beach resident and ride leader with the North County Cycle Club, also submitted a letter in September 2019, warning that the city’s plan “falls short in design” and urged the council to continue “working together to design an improved, safer Coast Highway 101.”

Speaking to The Coast News, Rudnick said before the addition of Class IV lanes, the stretch of highway used to be the “most widely used and safest corridor in the county.”

“It’s no longer the safest, nor is it the most pleasant,”

said Rudnick, who has been cycling along this stretch of coastline for 30 years. “Now, (cyclists) just put their heads down and time trial through there in the rightmost lane with sharrows. It’s not fun anymore. It’s too bad. There are people who say they feel comfortable riding it (with bollards and curb stops). I don’t use Cardiff 101 anymore when riding the coast, preferring the alternate North Coast Trail route. And I know a lot of people who won’t ride Cardiff 101.”

‘Fight you tooth, nail’

Earlier this month, however, several residents voiced their support for the current setup, emphasizing the ability for riders of all ages to utilize the lanes and feel safe from traffic along the bustling scenic highway. Local attorney Marco Gonzalez argued that the protected lanes have improved safety along the section of road and encouraged more pedestrians and cyclists to utilize the space. For Gonzalez, the problems are not related to infrastruc-

Red tape won’t fix housing crisis

By Alan Pentico

In recent years, city after city across San Diego County has rushed to pass its own version of a Tenant Protection Ordinance (TPO). Chula Vista, San Diego, Oceanside and Imperial Beach have all followed this trend, layering new requirements on top of state law.

But while these local ordinances may sound like progress, they’re actually causing serious housing problems – and doing more harm than good.

der three different rulebooks, plus state law?

The irony is that these burdens discourage precisely what our region desperately needs: more housing. When providers feel like the deck is stacked against them, they’re less likely to invest in their properties and more likely to sell. The people who get hurt the most are renters.

offer a rebuttal to his April 15, 2025, Op-Ed (“Ethnic Studies shouldn’t replace 9th grade English”).

The fact that the majority of his article is about him and barely addresses the pros and cons of SDUHSD’s Ethnic Studies curriculum shines a bright light on his governing style, as well as his views on education.

Throughout his article, Mr. Allman repeatedly expresses his frustration over the lack of support his input received from the superintendent, SDUHSD administration, and some of his fellow board members. He seems to forget the most fundamental tenet of governance.

Page nine of SDUHSD’s Governance Handbook (which he approved) clearly states: “No individual board trustee has the authority to make any binding school-related decisions.”

approving Ethnic Studies, the entire board was provided with a very detailed explanation for why integrating Ethnic Studies into the English 9 curriculum was the most viable option.

To be clear, “costs and schedule” (examples he claims that administrators used to push back against his ideas) are realities that all public school districts face.

Misrepresenting the process in a published letter undermines the authority of the superintendent, which in turn erodes the functionality of our school district.

The time and place to share his opinions were during the four workshops dedicated to Ethnic Studies and the corresponding board meetings. Which he already did.

empower all students to think critically about the world around them,” Mr. Allman seems to base his arguments on ultra-conservative ideologies rather than the hard work and research of educators.

All of this begs the question of “Why.” Why would Mr. Allman portray himself as the moral authority on Ethnic Studies and the only person inside the boardroom who cares about the education of our students?

Why would he choose to unilaterally reject the recommendations and expertise of his staff in such a public and unorthodox forum, and several months after he voted in favor of Units 2 and 3?

Let’s be clear: housing providers are already following strict rules under California’s existing state law, AB 1482. That law establishes statewide standards for rent increases, eviction protections, and other related matters. So why are cities now adding another layer of local red tape?

The result is a confusing patchwork of inconsistent rules, deadlines, notices, and legal terms that vary from city to city. For big companies with legal teams and compliance departments, that might be manageable. However, that’s less than 30% of the market. For the typical housing provider – someone who owns one or two houses, condos or apartments – it’s a nightmare.

One Northern California homeowner moved back into her San Diego house, thinking she had followed state law by providing the standard exemption notice – only to learn she had missed a separate city requirement. She’s now facing a lawsuit for more than $300,000.

Here’s another example. Under San Diego’s TPO, if a tenant moves out under certain conditions, housing providers could be required to track them down and offer the unit back, even five years later. That’s not just unrealistic, it’s unworkable.

We were encouraged by the City of San Diego’s recent announcement that 2024 was a banner year for housing downtown, with nearly 1,900 new homes completed and almost 1,700 more on the way. That progress matters. More housing helps

The cities claim these ordinances are about fairness, but where is the fairness in expecting landlords to operate under three different rulebooks, plus state law?

stabilize rents and expands options for renters, exactly what we need. But we can’t afford to stop there. We need more housing across the entire region, not just downtown. And we need policies that support — not punish — the landlords who help provide it. When the rules become so burdensome that people stop offering rental housing, the whole community loses.

The board sets the policy of the district by majority vote; the Superintendent puts that direction into action.

Ironically, Mr. Allman was a part of the process to move forward with Ethnic Studies when he voted to support two of the four units — something he fails to mention in his article.

While he, of course, has the right to disagree with and/or deliberate on any matter that comes before the board, he neglects to extend those same rights to

Not only was Mr. Allman present at all eight sessions, but he was also very vocal about his concerns. During the September board meeting, he actually referred to a lesson on Native American perspectives as “wokeism run amok.”

To me, that stunning use of a political euphemism (versus academic terminology) only reinforced what I have long believed to be true: Mr. Allman is not a person who ever genuinely sought to understand the purpose and value of Ethnic Studies.

He proves that himself when he ignorantly claims

But most of all, why would he re-ignite the topic of Ethnic Studies now, considering the fact that all public school districts, including SDUHSD, are grappling with more pressing matters such as budget cuts, deficit spending and the looming closure of the U.S. Department of Education?

While I am sure many reasons compelled Mr. Allman to write his article, I can’t think of a single one that benefits the SDUHSD students or staff he was elected to serve.

Katrina Young is a substitute teacher and a former SDUHSD trustee representing Area 2.

At SCRHA, we have had to create 16 new forms to help our members stay compliant with the three local TPOs. Sixteen! That includes different rental agreements, exemption notices, termination forms, and disclosure addendums. On top of all that, many have required wording that must be printed in a specific font size or delivered in hard copy.

Even experienced housing providers are struggling to keep up. If you have renters in San Diego, the rules are different than those in Chula Vista. And different still in Imperial Beach. The cities claim these ordinances are about fairness and stability, but where is the fairness in expecting landlords to operate un-

Let’s focus on real solutions, like expanding rental assistance programs and reducing barriers to building new homes. A good start would be expanding the areas where multifamily rentals are allowed. These are policies that help renters without driving providers away. Local governments should be working with housing providers, not against them. It may be politically popular to pass laws that sound like tenant protections, but when those policies make it harder to provide housing, we all lose in the long run.

Solana Beach talks priorities for work plan

Focus on bike safety, business permits, housing

By Leo Place

SOLANA BEACH —

The Solana Beach City Council discussed priorities for its 2025-26 work plan last week, including next steps for various capital projects, proposed municipal code updates to make it easier to own chickens, and ways to increase efficiency for minor permits.

The work plan outlines priority projects, goals, and code amendments for the upcoming year.

Input from the City Council’s April 23 meeting will be used to create a final work plan that will be approved in June.

Work plan items must fall under one of five new categories: Affordable Housing and Livable Communities, Transportation and Mobility, Environmental Sustainability and Energy, Youth, Senior, and Community Well-Being, and General Governance and Fiscal Responsibility.

The most significant work plan project for next year is the $15 million Lomas Santa Fe Corridor Project, which will add pedestrian, bike, and circulation improvements along the east-west arterial from Highway 101 to the city’s

eastern boundary at Highland Drive.

Construction is expected to begin in early 2026 for the eastern segment of the project, extending from Santa Helena east of Interstate 5 to Highland Drive. The city is still seeking grant funding for the project’s western portion.

“The city engineer just submitted what we hope to be final documentation to Caltrans, and then we can go out to bid,” said City Manager Alyssa Muto.

The City Council also discussed the planned pedestrian crosswalk at Coast

Highway 101 connecting Harbaugh Seaside Trails and Cardiff State Beach in Encinitas.

Solana Beach leaders have long been advocating for a safe crossing at the site, which runs directly along the city’s northern boundary with Encinitas.

While both cities have been collaborating on designs, final approval lies with Encinitas, which received a Highway Safety Improvement Program grant earlier this year to fund the at-grade crossing.

Simultaneously, Solana Beach is planning an exten-

sion of its Coastal Rail Trail that will run to the north end of the city and connect to the 101 crossing.

Finalizing price estimates and advertising the project for construction after finding funding is part of the city’s work plan.

The city also added an item to its work plan for bike safety improvements near the Interstate 5 onand off-ramps and underpass along Lomas Santa Fe. Councilmember Dave Zito said that there have been two serious accidents involving cyclists in the area in the past year.

City Manager Alyssa Muto said the city can work with Caltrans to explore possible improvements, such as enhanced lighting and audio signaling at crosswalks.

Backyard chickens

At the request of several residents, the City Council also agreed to work on amending the municipal code to make it easier to own chickens as part of the 2025-26 work plan.

The city code currently restricts chicken ownership to residences with at least 20,000 square feet of outdoor space, with a maximum of 25 chickens allowed. Residents said that smaller lots should also have the opportunity to participate in sustainable agriculture and raise their own eggs.

“It seems like there’s

a little bit of disconnect about what the current municipal code says about owning chickens,” said resident Kristin Brinner. “Especially with what food prices are and egg prices are right now, it would be great for all of our community to get their own eggs, if they want to.”

Other residents noted that under the code, they can have multiple dogs on their property before they meet the square footage required for chickens, despite dogs being much louder. Several residents also have chickens illegally, they said.

“Right now on our lot, we’re not allowed to have chickens, but we’re allowed to have five dogs,” said resident Oanh Dang. Council members said they would support find-

Man charged with killing mother in Vista

Malcolm Pope in custody after 6-hour standoff

By Leo Place VISTA

— A 26-yearold man who was arrested on suspicion of killing his mother at her Vista residence pleaded not guilty to all charges on April 25 in Vista Superior Court.

Malcolm Morey Pope was arraigned in court on a first-degree murder charge two days after his arrest at a home along North Citrus Avenue in a neighborhood north of state Route 78 and east of Santa Fe Avenue, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.

Around 10 a.m. on April 23, law enforcement was called for a wellness check at the residence and discovered a deceased adult female, identified in a criminal complaint as Mireya Pope, inside with obvious signs of trauma.

During a subsequent search of the premises, deputies discovered that Pope had barricaded himself inside the bathroom. After the suspect ignored repeated orders to surrender, sheriff’s officials called in a SWAT team. Pope continued refusing to give himself up through the late morning and afternoon.

Deputies finally were able to get him into custody in the early evening following a six-hour standoff with San Diego County Sheriff’s SWAT and Crisis Negotiations Team personnel, sheriff’s Lt. Sean Gallagher said. Sheriff’s officials declined to specify details about the arrest.

Pope was booked into San Diego Central Jail on suspicion of murder in connection with the alleged homicide. Pope’s city of residence was not provided.

Pope is being held without bail and is scheduled to appear in court again on May 6.

No further details about the circumstances of the homicide were shared

in court, but the criminal complaint alleges that Pope killed his mother sometime between April 22 and 23.

The Sheriff’s Homicide Unit is continuing to investigate the motivation and circumstances of the crime.

Pope faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted of murdering Mireya Pope, who was an assistant teacher at LePort Montessori School in Solana Beach.

Maria Figueroa, who lives next door to the home where the crime occurred, said that Pope lived with his mother at the residence and that he had been violent against her in the past.

In the days leading up to the arrest, Figueroa said Pope had become increasingly aggressive and his mother had made him move outside to sleep in his car.

Figueroa said Pope had

also threatened her and other neighbors and would walk around outside with a machete.

In August 2022, Pope’s mother obtained an emergency protective order against him after he allegedly dragged her out of her car and began searching her for keys to the vehicle. He had an outstanding felony warrant for his arrest at the time, and barricaded himself inside the house. Criminal records indicate that Pope also previously pleaded guilty to resisting arrest following an incident in 2021.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Homicide Unit at (858) 285-6330 or after hours at (858) 5655200. City News Service contributed to this report.

O’side city manager gets boost to retirement

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —

The Oceanside City Council has approved an increase to City Manager Jonathan Borrego’s retirement and benefits compensation.

The council voted unanimously on April 23 to raise the city's contribution to Borrego’s deferred compensation by $19,500.

Deferred compensa-

tion refers to funds that go toward a public employee’s retirement and benefits packages.

“In the public sector it’s a 457 plan, in the private sector it’s a 401K,” Deputy City Manager Rob O’Brien said, noting it also includes

Girl, 12, killed in Encinitas collision

By Jordan P. Ingram

ENCINITAS — A 12-year-old girl was struck and killed by a vehicle in a crosswalk in Encinitas on April 26, prompting an outpouring of grief across the community and an ongoing investigation by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded to a report of a vehicle-pedestrian collision at 6:51 p.m. April 25 at the intersection of Encinitas Boulevard and Village Square Drive, according to the sheriff’s North Coastal Station.

Preliminary findings show that a 44-year-old man driving a Nissan Xterra westbound on Encinitas Boulevard collided with a southbound Ford Fusion, also driven by a 44-yearold man.

The Xterra then struck the girl as she was walking in the crosswalk, deputies said. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Both drivers remained at the scene and were not injured. Investigators do not believe alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash.

The girl, identified only as “Emery,” was a sixthgrade student at Park Dale Lane Elementary School and a participant in the Performing Arts Workshop in Encinitas, according to CBS8.

Two memorials have been established — one at the crash site and another

outside Park Dale Lane Elementary.

A sign at the school reads, “We love you Emery. Stay jolly,” surrounded by flowers, photos, stuffed animals and handwritten notes.

The Encinitas Union School District released a statement Monday expressing deep sorrow over the student’s death.

“The Park Dale Lane community is filled with deep sadness and devastation at the tragic passing of one of our beloved sixthgrade students,” the district said. “She was a vibrant 12-year-old who shined with creativity, kindness, and a bright spirit.

“She brought warmth and friendliness wherever she went, inspiring those around her and making her a true joy to know. Her loss will be profoundly felt at our school, and Park Dale Lane will not be the same without her.”

The sheriff’s Traffic Accident Reconstruction Team is leading the investigation. Anyone who witnessed the crash or has video footage is asked to contact the non-emergency line at 858-565-5200 or call Crime Stoppers at 888580-8477. Tips can also be submitted anonymously at www.sdcrimestoppers.org.

City News Service contributed to this report.

a “cafeteria plan” with dental, medical and similar benefits.

Borrego, who joined the city in 2017, was appointed interim city manager in March 2022 and officially promoted to the role in August 2022.

“Since that time, Mr. Borrego has provided strong and stable leadership and has had a signif-

icant role in overseeing or directly managing several major projects and initiatives that have positively shaped the Oceanside community,” the staff report states.

The city manager functions as the chief executive officer of the city, overseeing all departments.

In December, the Government Training Agency/

Regional Training Center conducted a compensation survey of city managers across 17 cities in San Diego County, excluding the City of San Diego.

The survey found that Oceanside’s city manager ranked 10th in total compensation and last in deferred compensation.

Before the council’s vote, Borrego’s deferred

compensation was $1,200. Following the change, effective April 27, it will increase to $20,800, distributed biweekly at a rate of $800 per pay period, according to the staff report. Borrego also underwent a personnel review on March 26 before the council directed staff to negotiate modifications to his deferred compensation plan.

Carlsbad sets water rate increase

By Samantha Nelson CARLSBAD — Res-

idents and businesses in Carlsbad can expect their drinking water and wastewater bills to rise annually over the next three years.

The City Council on April 22 approved rate increases for both drinking water and wastewater services.

Beginning July 1, rates will increase by 20%, or about $25.30 for the average customer. Additional increases of 14% and 9% will take effect on Jan. 1, 2026, and Jan. 1, 2027, respectively.

By the end of the third year, bills will have risen by 45%. According to city staff, the average Carlsbad customer who currently pays about $125.65 for water and wastewater services would see their bill increase to approximately $187.40 by 2027.

The move follows the San Diego County Water Authority’s decision last summer to boost wholesale rates by 14%. Approximately 65% of the cost of Carlsbad’s water bills is tied to county water purchases, which fund sources such as the Colorado River supply, desalination, debt service payments, capital improvements, operations, treatment and purchases from the Metropolitan Water District.

The remaining 35% covers local costs for providing water services, including maintenance, water quality testing and infrastructure investments.

According to city staff, water from the Claude “Bud” Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant is the city’s most expensive source of water.

“It is actually the most expensive water that we have,” said Shoshana Aguilar, senior management analyst. “It takes a lot of electricity to get salt out of water. It’s one of the biggest electric users in the county, and when rates go up, those costs flow through to us.”

Although the desalination plant is located in Carlsbad, it is privately owned.

The county purchases a portion of its water supply from the plant and then distributes it to Carlsbad and other cities.

Despite the rate increases, staff emphasized that Carlsbad customers still pay the lowest rates in the region.

“Our average bill is the lowest in the entire county,” Aguilar said.

Currently, Carlsbad customers pay an average of $73.91 per month for drinking water, compared to the county average of $114. Even after the July 1 rate increase, which would bump Carlsbad’s average up to $91.10 and then $109.62 by 2027, rates would remain below today’s county average, which is also expected to rise in the coming years.

Staff noted that, even with the increases, it still costs about one cent to deliver a gallon of tap water in Carlsbad.

Wastewater rates, which are also currently below the county average, will eventually surpass the 2025 county average under the new increases. Carlsbad customers now pay $51.74 per month for wastewater service. That amount will rise to $59.85 on July 1, to $68.20 in January 2026, and to $77.78 by 2027. The current countywide average is $66.02.

Several residents expressed frustration with the rate hikes during the public hearing.

Longtime resident

Roseanne Bentley called the increases “tone deaf” and “beyond ridiculous, especially in these uncertain economic times.”

“It’s an egregious misuse of power for whatever reason to increase financial hardship for those of us who don’t know if we’ll have a job or are on tenuous fixed incomes like myself,” Bentley said. “It’s an economic burden we do not need to carry for you.”

However, Michael Drennan, a licensed civil engineer and representative of the American Society of Civil Engineers who also lives in Carlsbad, supported the increases. He said they were necessary to maintain the city’s water infrastructure and avoid more expensive repairs in the future.

“It’s still going to cost less than a penny a gallon to get clean, reliable water,” Drennan said. “Even though I don’t like paying it, I’m grateful.”

Some residents questioned whether the city properly notified customers about the proposed rate increases, citing the small number of formal protest letters received.

According to city staff, all approximately 30,000 customer accounts received mailed notices about the

proposed increases and instructions on how to protest. Under Proposition 218, a voter-approved initiative from 1996, cities are required to notify customers at least 45 days in advance of a rate increase hearing. If a majority of customers submit written protests, the increase cannot move forward.

Staff reported receiving 102 protests against the water rate increase and 61 against the wastewater increase, well below the threshold needed to block the hikes.

The council ultimately voted 4-1 in favor of the rate increases, with Councilmember Melanie Burkholder dissenting. Burkholder said she was concerned about the impact on businesses, seniors and others on fixed incomes. While she commended the city’s maintenance efforts, she suggested that “doing more with less” and deferring some maintenance might be necessary in the future to reduce costs.

Councilmember Kevin Shin also expressed concern, but noted that Carlsbad’s rates remain competitive compared to those of other cities.

He emphasized the importance of continued investment in infrastructure. “I hope we never say, O.K., let’s try to give back to the residents by not doing maintenance,” Shin said.

Mayor Keith Blackburn, who supported the increases, criticized state mandates for limiting local control over water pricing.

Despite his concerns, Blackburn acknowledged the importance of maintaining the city’s systems.

“I don’t want to be on the news all the time like the City of San Diego is with broken pipes, flooded businesses, and things like that,” he said.

Local educators among district teachers of year

By Staff

REGION — Several North County educators were among 51 recognized as district teachers of the year at the San Diego County Office of Education’s 35th annual Cox Presents: Salute to Teachers event on April 25.

Teachers from Carlsbad, Encinitas, Escondido, Fallbrook, Oceanside, Poway, Ramona, San Dieguito, San Marcos and Vista school districts were honored during the ceremony, held in partnership with Cox Communications and presented by San Diego County Credit Union.

Most of the district honorees will now advance to compete for one of five San Diego County Teacher of the Year titles, which are expected to be announced by June 15.

“Teachers shape the lives of students every day, inspiring them by creating spaces where every student feels seen, supported, and empowered,” said Dr. Gloria E. Ciriza, San Diego County superintendent of schools.

“We’re honored to partner with organizations like Cox Communications and San Diego County Credit Union to shine a light on and celebrate the more than 20,000 educators who show up every day to help shape a more just, compassionate, and hopeful future for all kids.”

As part of the event, Cox Communications will produce a 30-minute television special highlighting the district winners and showcasing moments from the

ceremony. The program will air this fall on Cox’s YurView network, Channel 4 on Cox and Spectrum.

The San Diego County Office of Education and Cox Communications have collaborated to celebrate teachers for more than three decades.

“At Cox Communications, we’re passionate about celebrating the educators who ignite curiosity and inspire achievement in our students,” said Chanelle

Hawken, market vice president for Cox Communications.

North County’s 2025 District Teachers of the Year include:

• Madeline Menker, Carlsbad Unified School District

• Brooke Klein, Encinitas Union School District

• Cassandra Johnson and Corina Martinez, Escondido Union School District

• Monica Lee, Escondi-

do Union High School District

• Dan Nielsen, Fallbrook Union High School District

• Helen Weisz, Fallbrook Union Elementary School District

• Liliana Garcia and Sally Cohenour-Kerl, Oceanside Unified School District

• Carissa Jones-Fletcher, Christopher Koreerat, and Alyssa Roscoe, Poway Unified School District

• Donald Wiseman, Ra-

ing more practical ways to allow hens (not roosters) while also addressing concerns around noise, waste, and animal welfare.

Mayor Lesa Heebner said she would also be supportive of allowing apiaries for those interested in beekeeping.

Permit promptness

The council also agreed to add an item to the work plan that would streamline certain minor permits for businesses, following months of discussion about this topic with residents and business owners.

Tim Hadinger, who owns a commercial building on Stevens Avenue, said it takes a long time for the city to approve minor interior improvements such as removing a wall or adding an office space.

Because this can be a deterrent to potential tenants, he requested that the city grant specific minor permits over the counter.

“Our issue is promptness. We need to be able to move quickly, because our tenants will not wait three or four months for us to make

minor improvements,” said Hadinger.

The Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce also urged the city to hire an inhouse building inspector, rather than contracting one out, to make the permitting process more efficient.

“This addition would provide timely, consistent, and accessible support for property owners, developers, and businesses navigating the regulatory process. In turn, this streamlining of operations will help reduce delays, enhance communication, and encourage responsible growth and invest-

ment within our city,” said Chamber Executive Director Kimberly Jones.

City leaders said that permit efficiency has been a topic the city has been discussing with business owners for some time, and that they have been searching for solutions. Muto said there is some nuance to which permits can be granted over the counter, but that they would look into it.

In the meantime, staff will bring forward an item to the council in the near future to add an in-house inspector, Muto said. Other items in the work plan include:

• Repairs to the Fletcher Cove beach access ramp and installation of a shower tower at the base of the ramp.

• Analysis of becoming a charter city

• Adopt regulations for outdoor dining

• Prepare draft Local Implementation Plan and Land Use Plan Amendment

• Coordinate with California Coastal Commission staff on the design of the new Marine Safety Center

• Begin construction on Santa Helena road project to reduce width of road for vehicle travel

• Gather more community input on a potential

Carlsbad man gets gun ban

By City News Service

CARLSBAD — A threeyear gun violence restraining order was imposed April 28 against a Carlsbad man who allegedly discussed committing a mass shooting in online conversations with a teenage girl who fatally shot two people and injured six others at a Wisconsin school last year.

Though criminal charges have not been filed against Alexander Paffendorf, 20, he came under law enforcement scrutiny after federal agents discovered online messages between him and Natalie “Samantha’’ Rupnow, 15, who committed a deadly mass shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, in December.

Paffendorf was detained by law enforcement, and his home was searched. While no guns were found and no guns were registered to him, an emergency gun violence protective order was obtained late last year.

The new restraining order imposed this week prevents him from owning or purchasing firearms for three years.

Court documents state that Paffendorf admitted to FBI agents that he “told Rupnow that he would arm himself with explosives and a gun and that he would target a government building.’’

At a court hearing, San Diego police Detective Justin Wallace testified that Paffendorf told Rupnow which types of weapons he thought would be best to use in a mass shooting. He also suggested using a “fertilizer bomb’’ or a bomb that could be remotely activated by a cell phone, Wallace testified.

Paffendorf told Wallace he discussed the subjects with Rupnow in hopes of pursuing a romantic relationship with her, according to the detective.

During the court hearing, Paffendorf said his discussions with Rupnow were “highly inappropriate’’ but described them as “off the cuff comments.’’ He denied making substantive plans to commit any violent acts or having plans to own weapons, though he said the restraining order sought by authorities was disrupting his ability to secure employment.

While a deputy city attorney with the city of Carlsbad sought a two-year restraining order, San Diego Superior Court Judge Blair Soper said a three-year order was warranted because “this case is just too severe.’’

Soper said the in-depth discussions of firearms and explosives contained in the messages showed a significant amount of research into weaponry was likely conducted.

The judge also noted that the conversations with Rupnow occurred recently, and “way too soon to determine that you are authorized to own guns any time soon.’’

The tour is a joint effort of AARP California, San Diego County, the San Diego Elder Justice Task Force, and Senior Tech Connect.

A full list of the upcoming events and information on registering are available

at https://states.aarp.org/ california/san-diego-scamjam-tour. AARP membership is not required to participate.

“As fraudsters become increasingly sophisticated, it’s crucial that we keep the public informed about the latest scams to ensure they can protect themselves and their loved ones,’’ AARP California State Director Nancy McPherson said. “AARP’s commitment is to equip everyone with the necessary tools to combat fraud.

These free fraud prevention events offer a valuable opportunity to learn how to identify and avoid various scams, as well as provide resources for those who have been affected.’’

According to AARP, elder fraud saw victims in San Diego County lost about $100 million in 2023, while nationwide, there were $12.5 billion in losses last year.

Pets of the Week

YOUNG SQUIRE

is pet of the week at Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He is a 3-year-old, 12-pound male Chihuahua mix.

Young Squire was a stray when he was taken to a crowded, nearby shelter. When nobody came for him, Young Squire was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters.

He is a medium-to-low energy dog who is on the hunt for a quiet home where he will get plenty of love and lots of snuggles. His family will need to respect his sensitive nature.

The $145 adoption fee includes a medical exam, neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, registered microchip and a one-year license if the new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services.

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

HASHBROWN is the Helen Woodward Animal Center’s pet of the week. He is a 2-year-old terrier blend who was found wandering the streets of Wailuku, in Maui, disoriented and alone.

At Maui Humane, staff discovered he was blind and didn’t have a microchip. Because the shelter was already at critical capacity, Hashbrown was transferred to the Helen Woodward Animal Center.

Hashbrown is currently in foster care. He gets along well with his foster parents

Don’t overlook reviews

By Paul Gonzalez

Early in my career, I recall spending a considerable amount of time learning the art of selling and goal setting from Jim Rohn, not to be confused with Jim Rome, formerly of ESPN.

Jim had many memorable sayings that stuck with me, like, “It’s better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!” And “Do you have 10 years experience or 1 year experience repeated 10 times?”

But the one thing Jim said that I remember most often is “Don’t step over dollars to pick up dimes.”

I’m sure this isn’t directly attributable to Jim, but he’s the person who permanently planted it in my mind.

Are you stepping over dollars to pick up dimes? I receive calls almost weekly from business owners who need marketing help but have very limited budgets to work with.

For all of us at Rook Digital, that’s not a problem. For years, we’ve helped coach business owners through the process, teaching them what to do and then sending them off to do it.

If they complete the tasks, we teach them the next step, and so on, until they achieve success. We’re willing to teach as long as you’re willing to do.

However, it never fails to surprise me how often business owners overlook the powerful free tools at their fingertips, one of which is Google Reviews.

Whether you're a new start-up or have been in business for years, you still need reviews.

Nothing creates a more valuable, lasting first impression than a big stack of 4 and 5-star reviews representing your business on Google. Upwards of 80-90% of consumers trust those reviews.

Over 70% of customers who read quality reviews for a local business go on to purchase within 72 hours.

Almost 25% of your ranking score in the Google Maps Pack (top of the search results!) comes from the reviews you collect or don’t collect.

Are you taking advantage of the most powerful marketing tool you have that doesn’t even cost you any money? Are you stepping over dollars to pick up dimes?

Prime business card? Your own book

My home is decorated with dozens of promotional items. Pens, shirts, coffee mugs… the list seems endless.

I’ve gotten clocks, backpacks, and highlighters, all sharing one objective: keeping the sponsor top-of-mind when I’m finally ready to buy.

It seems I can’t turn around without encountering some organization wanting to gift me something with their name on it. But how many promotional mugs does one person need?

Most companies choose their premiums based on budget, rather than its ap-

The Tech Revolution

Tien Kung Ultra took home the gold medal on April 19 in the Humanoid Robot Half-Marathon in Beijing, CNN reported. Ultra and more than 20 other robots ran alongside (but in a separate lane from) their 12,000 human competitors, supported by navigators, operators and engineers. It crossed the finish line in 2 hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds, after three battery changes and one fall. The winner of the men’s race finished in 1 hour and 2 minutes.

Almost every robot in the race suffered falls or overheating issues, and one spun in two circles after leaving the starting line, hit a wall and dragged its human operators down with it. Another’s head repeatedly fell off. [CNN, 4/21/2025]

Best-Laid Plans

In case you hadn’t heard, the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War was last week. In commemoration of that event, the city of Lexington, Massachusetts, held a Patriots’ Day Awards Ceremony, during which an arch was unveiled, Boston. com reported on April 18. But as the arch was moved to the front of the stage at the event, the top part of it fell backward and broke into pieces. Mona Roy, the vice chair of the Lex250 Commission, remarked, “Don’t worry, completely fixable” as the audience gasped and laughed. One Reddit user commented, “The symbolism is unbelievable.” [Boston.com, 4/18/2025]

The game took place over 12 days in mid-January, with custom bingo cards with squares reading “Over .30 BAC DUI,” “3+ Vehicle Accident,” “ButtAss Naked” and “Extinguish Fire Before BFD.”

Police Chief Jim Veltkamp said the game was shut down and an investigation was done to make sure there were no wrongful arrests or officers acting outside their normal duties. He said the officers involved “were warned about how inappropriate this is.” He added that participating supervisors were disciplined. [KBZK, 4/18/2025]

Saw That Coming

On Good Friday in Weston, West Virginia, an unnamed 84-year-old man went to the hospital after falling about 10 feet from a cross at a crucifixion reenactment at the Masonic Cemetery, WDTV reported. The event was sponsored by the Vandalia Community Christian Church.

The reenactor was life-flighted to an emergency facility, but family members said he was doing better, and doctors no longer considered his injuries life-threatening. [WDTV, 4/21/2025]

News You Can Use

On April 19, NOAA Ocean Exploration sent a remote-control camera inside the wreckage of the USS Yorktown, which was sunk in the Pacific Ocean, about 1,000 miles from Honolulu, in 1942 during World War II, the Miami Herald reported.

Along with all the expected finds, the researchers discovered something odd: a “1940-’41 Ford Super Deluxe ‘Woody’ in black,” with flared fenders, what’s left of a rag top and chrome trim. Ocean Exploration officials called the car “an exciting find.

Perhaps the car belonged to someone important on the ship or to the fleet: the captain or admiral.” The wreckage, about 3 miles deep, was first discovered in 1998. [Miami Herald, 4/21/2025]

And most of the remaining 99.7% get QUITE excited when talking with them.

Now consider these three statistics:

• 81% of Americans feel they have a book in them worth writing.

• 3% of people who want to write a book actually finish the manuscript.

• You may need 12 sales calls to close a deal.

But by writing a book, you’ll raise your credibility and arguably close deals faster.

On April 9, Rahul said he was going shopping for wedding clothes, but he later called his father to say, “I’m leaving. Don’t try to look for me.” Around the same time, his future mother-in-law also went missing without leaving a message. Police say the new couple may be in Uttarakhand, where he works, and are investigating there. Invitations for the wedding, scheduled for April 16, had already been sent. Bride-to-be Shivani said her fiance and her mother “used to talk on the phone a lot over the past three to four months. All we want is that the money and jewelry should be returned to us.” [Economic Times, 4/9/2025]

Can’t Possibly Be True

CNN took a deep dive into the latest fashion trend on April 10, chronicling $150-plus “nap dresses” one could use for ... napping. CNN calls the style “one of the latest iterations of the house dress,” which has been a “staple in women’s fashion for decades and potentially even centuries.”

CNN Underscored Director of Social Stephanie Griffin notes that a dress from Hill House Home, which sells for $150, is “comfy enough to nap in, but the ruffled shoulders, elasticized smocking and tiered midi skirt are elevated and sophisticated enough to wear to fancy drinks.”

Uh, that’s just a DRESS. Also, who would spend $150 for something to wear while snoring on the couch? Griffin would: “One word: obsessed.” [CNN, 4/10/2025]

There Goes the Neighborhood

A Rockport, Massachusetts, neighborhood is reeling from a wave of vandalism that has claimed at least 25 car mirrors in recent weeks, People.com reported on April 24. When resident Janelle Favaloro caught the culprit in the act, she posted on Facebook: “There has been a vandal breaking car mirrors. He is described as 18”24” tall, wearing black and white, with a red hat.”

If that sounds a bit like Woody Woodpecker, that’s because the guilty party is a pileated woodpecker -- the inspiration for the cartoon character, and a species that happens to be in the throes of mating season. Experts believe the felonious fowl is mistaking its own reflection for a rival, and residents have taken to covering their car mirrors in the hope of preventing the bird’s attacks.

An Unrefined Palate

When Luna, a 7-monthold Bernese mountain dog who had been vomiting and clearly in pain from a distended stomach, arrived at the Corona Animal Emergency Center in Corona, California, on Feb. 16, veterinarians took X-rays that revealed a large buildup in the pup’s gastrointestinal system, and quickly began exploratory abdominal surgery. The L.A. Times reported that among their findings were “24 socks, a scrunchie, two hair ties, a shoe insert, a onesie and multiple pieces of cloth,” for a grand total of 44 foreign objects. The center posted on Instagram that Luna survived and is recovering, and also served up a helpful PSA: “If your dog swallows something unusual, don’t wait -- act fast and contact your vet.” [LA Times, 2/16/25]

Iknew I was getting older because I actually stop at yellow lights.

A lot of older people think you can see better with your mouth open. That’s why they drive that way.

One old guy got rear-ended. Several of us stopped to make sure he was okay. He asked the guy who hit him, “Why did you hit me? You knew I had to slow down because I had my blinker on.”

The other guy said, “Yeah, for the last five miles.”

Sometimes I get testy, and you can get away with it when you’re older. I like to wave pedestrians across, then HONK. Then I say, “Oh sorry! My hands are shaky.” You can say things to people, too. A woman who looked like she had five facelifts cut in line at Walmart. She yelled at me, “I was here first!” I said, “You were here before Joan of Arc.”

Sometimes I let my mind wander and think about stupid stuff: Why is there an expiration date on sour cream? Why is it born-agains do not believe in reincarnation?

Is a bra actually a bonnet for Siamese twins? I got arrested for wearing a one-piece bathing suit. It was half of a two-piece.

Time marches on. When was the last time you heard the Beach Boys singing “Wouldn’t It Be Nice If We Were Older”? No, it wouldn’t, because you’d all be dead. Or Mick Jagger singing “Time Is on My Side”? No it isn’t, Mick. You’re 81 years old!

Three smart, affordable solutions when cosmetic dentistry feels out of reach Dental solutions for all

Let’s face it—dental work can be expensive, and not everyone has the budget for high-end cosmetic procedures. But that doesn’t mean you have to live with a smile that makes you self-conscious.

There are practical, effective alternatives that can restore function, confidence and beauty while still being affordable.

Here are three cosmetic options worth knowing about:

1. MARYLAND BRIDGE: A NO-DRILL OPTION FOR MISSING TEETH

For patients missing a front tooth, the Maryland bridge is a clever, minimally invasive alternative to implants or traditional bridges. It involves attaching a false tooth to the backs of neighboring teeth with small “wings” made of metal or ceramic.

Since it requires little drilling of healthy tooth structure, it’s ideal for younger patients or those

who want a less aggressive approach. Although it may not work well for areas with heavy bite force, it’s very effective, as seen in the pictures above.

2. CANTILEVER BRIDGE: STRATEGIC SUPPORT FOR A LONE TOOTH GAP

When a missing tooth has only one adjacent anchor tooth a cantilever bridge can be a good solution. This design supports the false tooth from one side

only, avoiding the need for a second crown. While not suitable for every case due to the torque it can place on the supporting tooth, it offers solid function and aesthetics for patients who can’t or don’t want implants.

3. BONDING: BUDGETFRIENDLY VENEER ALTERNATIVE

Porcelain veneers can create dazzling smiles! But they require drilling down the tooth structure and, if

more than one or two are necessary, it can become very pricey.

Enter dental bonding—a simple, fast, and far more affordable solution. Tooth-colored resin can fill in chips, close small gaps, and cover up discoloration. The material is sculpted directly onto the tooth and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural enamel.

Advanced bonding materials are durable and attractive. They can last for years with good care, giving

patients a beautiful result at a fraction of the cost.

Here’s your reminder to stay dialed.

STRENGTH: PRESERVE THE BODY, ELEVATE THE PERFORMANCE

At your level, strength isn’t about adding plates just to say you did. It’s about force production, efficiency, and injury prevention.

• Train for transfer: Everything in the weight room should serve what you do in competition. Power, explosiveness, joint integrity — that’s the focus.

• Respect your body’s data: Mobility, asymmetries, compensations — fix them before they become problems.

• Don’t skip the isos: Tendon strength, time under tension, and control under fatigue can add years to your career.

Reminder: You don’t need more volume — you

Experience the future of healing

Regenerative medicine is a form of molecular biology that revitalizes the body by regenerating, re-engineering, or replacing human cells, tissues, or organs to establish normal function. At our practice, we utilize cutting-edge human cellular tissue products and protocols tailored to restore your injured or painful area to as close to normal as possible.

Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with a bone, joint, ligament, muscle, or nerve problem? As we age, our ability to heal diminishes, and pain increases due to a decline in stem cell function and quantity.

How cardiologists misunderstood angioplasty — and why some still do

For decades, doctors believed that heart attacks and other serious heart problems were mainly caused by severe blockages in the heart’s arteries. These blockages, caused by hardened cholesterol (plaque), often led to chest pain and limited blood flow.

The natural solution seemed obvious: open up those blockages with angioplasty. But as it turns out, this theory was mostly wrong.

It actually started more than 500 years ago. Leonardo da Vinci, known not only as an artist but also a keen observer of the human body, noticed waxy substances in the coronary arteries during autopsies. He observed both soft and hardened plaque. But in the centuries that followed, medical science focused mainly on the hard, obstructive plaque — especially as imaging tools like angiograms and CT scans made these blockages easier to see.

Doctors became convinced that these were the main cause of heart attacks, chest pain, and sudden death. The approach was widespread: find the worst blockages and fix them with angioplasty. And with time, the tools got better and bet-

ter, allowing doctors to reduce even severe blockages quickly and effectively.

Then came a surprise. In the early 2000s, a major study called the COURAGE trial shook the foundation of this thinking. Patients with stable coronary artery disease were divided into two groups: one got angioplasty right away, and the other received only medication unless their symptoms worsened.

The results? Both groups had nearly the same rates of heart attacks and death. Angioplasty only slightly improved chest pain, and even that benefit faded over time.

The medical community was stunned. Many car-

diologists, who performed angioplasties at the time— struggled to believe it. But more large studies in the following years confirmed

the same thing: angioplasty didn’t prevent heart attacks or extend life in patients with stable heart disease. What researchers discovered instead was that soft, non-obstructive plaque—the kind that doesn’t show up clearly on standard tests and often causes no symptoms—was much more dangerous. These soft plaques were more likely to rupture and cause sudden blockages, leading to heart attacks.

Dr. Chavira, a North County leading cardiologist says, “While many cardiologists have since changed their practice based on the science, a significant num-

Stem cells become dormant and nonproductive, leading to a cycle of discomfort and limited mobility. Replenishing this supply presents increased opportunities to reduce or eliminate pain in joints and nerve pain associated with neuropathy. By transplanting the correct tissue, in the correct amount, into the injured or painful part of your body, we can activate dormant cells, regenerate new tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore normal function. Unlike medications that merely mask symptoms, regenerative medicine addresses the root cause of your discomfort, offering

a promising alternative to invasive surgeries like joint replacement.

Tri-City nurses picket

Hospital workers demand greater safety conditions

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — Nurses

at Tri-City Medical Center are ramping up pressure on hospital leadership, warning that chronic understaffing, workplace safety issues and stalled pay negotiations are putting both caregivers and patients at risk.

Nearly 500 nurses represented by the California Nurses Association held an informational picket April 24 outside the Oceanside hospital, criticizing leadership for what they described as years of inaction on key safety and workplace concerns. The demonstration was not a strike, according to the union.

Following the picket, nurses presented hospital leadership with a petition alleging management’s failure to comply with Title 22 safe staffing regulations, provide protections against workplace violence, and adopt fair compensation policies to recruit and retain experienced staff across all units. The nurses also delivered a vote of no confidence to the Tri-City Board of Directors.

“(Tri-City) executives need to be held accountable to nurses and the community it serves when they do not comply with agreed-upon staffing standards,” said Astrid Warner, a registered nurse in the progressive care unit.

According to Warner, patients in her unit are sometimes left with only one registered nurse.

“Not only is this in violation of our union contract, it also means our unit’s patients are taken care of by nurses with different specializations,” Warner said. “This is not safe or appropriate for our patients.”

Tri-City nurses have filed formal complaints with the California Department of Public Health, Cal/OSHA and other agencies over rising incidents of violence, understaffing and workplace hazards. Following a March inspection, the Department of Public Health found the hospital lacked adequate personnel to ensure a nurse was immediately available for each patient.

“Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure nurseto-patient ratio… was main-

tained in the intensive care unit according to standards of practice,” the CDPH report stated. “This failure had the potential to affect the safe delivery and quality of patient care and treatment. In addition, this failure had the potential to affect staff workload and morale.”

The report also cited failures in nurse supervision and patient care planning.

In response, Tri-City CEO Dr. Gene Ma acknowledged staffing challenges but said conditions have improved since a difficult winter surge.

“Like every hospital, we occasionally have situations that result in a mismatch of patient volumes and staff,” Ma said. “Every hospital continues to have these challenges, and Tri-City is no exception.”

Ma said that operational changes implemented more than a year ago have shifted job duties and restructured staffing to increase frontline care roles while reducing executive and administrative positions, including those in external affairs and media relations.

The April 24 demonstration echoed a similar picket last spring, when nurses protested working conditions and staffing shortages.

“We have tried to work with management to address the issues that impact nurses and our ability to provide quality care,” said Cathy Cronce, a registered nurse in the post-anesthesia recovery area. “Our priority is our patients and we know they deserve better standards from (Tri-City).”

Ingrid Corona, a registered nurse in the telemetry unit and chief union representative for the California Nurses Association, said nurses have suffered physical attacks from patients, including being thrown into walls.

“Nurses have been hurt here,” she told The Coast News. “Even something as simple as a meal choice can set patients off – they can get very aggressive.”

Corona said untreated mental health and addiction issues often escalate tensions, particularly in the emergency room, where wait times are exacerbated by short staffing.

“It’s hard for the nurses to deliver the quality care in a timely manner,” Corona said. “If I’ve got another emergency and can’t make it back to help another patient to the bathroom, they might not wait for me and try to get out of bed themselves, which isn’t safe.”

Ma said a key disagreement between hospital administrators and the union has been over the rollout of pay raises. The hospital proposed a “nursing clinical ladder” that would offer targeted raises in high-demand departments such as the operating room, interventional care, and ICU. The union opposed the plan, calling for across-the-board increases for all nursing units.

“Despite multiple discussions to try and share that their proposed approach was untenable, and that this was our commitment and method of systematically increasing compensation in a financially responsible manner, we were unable to convince the labor unit of that,” Ma said. “Hence, we have yielded to their demands and ceased any progression on the clinical ladder, which I am very much disappointed about.” Corona, despite her concerns, said patients can still expect quality care from Tri-City nurses.

“We give excellent care at Tri-City,” she said. “We have very compassionate nurses and we are breaking our backs to give patients the care they need.”

ture but rather the result of “rider error.”

“Ninety-nine percent of the time, the problems we have are people going too fast, not paying attention, perhaps coming home from a bar late at night without a helmet or a light,” Gonzalez said. “It’s offensive to the public’s right to cycle safely in this city to say that it’s the fault of the infrastructure, because it’s the fault of the rider. We’re going to fight you tooth and nail if you try to change it.”

Another resident and regular cyclist, Chris Giles, said he appreciates having bollards and wheel stops to protect cyclists from vehicles and suggested the cost of removing the system would be too expensive.

“The city made a sizeable investment putting in these bike lanes,” Giles said, estimating that removing the bollards and wheel stops along 6,500 feet of roadway could cost nearly $1 million. “You’re going to be looking at a really big expenditure to make this happen. And the way the City Council is approaching things right now, they may not really be on board.”

Judy Berlfein, chair of BikeWalk Encinitas, also spoke in favor of the cycle track, noting there are no figures to show how many lives have been saved by the traffic barriers.

“What crashes have we prevented that we don’t know about? How many people have tapped those

wheel stops and woken up or looked up from their phones without hitting me or other families riding there? Really hard to tell,” Berlfein said. “My motto is improve, don’t remove. If we pull this out, I probably won’t be riding to Solana Beach, Ki’s restaurant, Seaside Beach or Claire’s anymore.”

But critics of the Class IV lanes argue that the move to create protected lanes was driven more by emotion and fear than by logic, data or reason.

“People are deeply afraid of being hit from behind by a car traveling in the same direction. That fear is powerful — it’s the main reason they want to keep the physical barriers,” said Encinitas resident and longtime cyclist Serge Issakov. “But the fear of being hit from behind is disproportionate to the actual risk. There’s only been one such incident (along Coast Highway 101 in South Cardiff) that we’ve found in the past 40 years.”

Medak agreed, noting that most collisions occur at intersections and driveways,

and that the recent decline in crash rates is likely due to avoidance, rather than safety improvements.

“The people in support of the bollards didn’t address the data,” Medak said. “They were content to rely on emotional appeals. I don’t have anything against personal experiences, but I don’t think traffic changes should be based on that.”

‘Data is garbage in’

Cycling and safety advocates argue the current configuration is hazardous, particularly when attempting to avoid pedestrians or debris. Local riders have referred to the area as the “Cardiff Meat Grinder” due to the number of cyclists who have reportedly been injured within the partitioned corridor.

Issakov, a cycling safety advocate, said that while the city intended to make the roadway safer, it “took the bikeway [idea from Europe] and implemented it half-assed,” failing to apply critical design elements that make similar systems successful

in Europe.

“It’s not the right design for this space,” Issakov said, pointing to missing pedestrian paths along the northbound side, inadequate buffer zones, and a complete lack of bikeway elevation across driveways and intersections.

Issakov noted that the northbound protected lane begins halfway down a large hill, introducing physical obstacles in the roadway just as riders are gaining speed.

“This is not only where Ryan Currie’s life was taken, but at least two other crashes occurred at this location in broad daylight,” Issakov said.

The design has pushed most riders out into traffic, according to cyclists who are now reluctantly sharing a lane with vehicles along a fast, downhill stretch of Coast Highway.

Issakov, who has cataloged 36 crashes along this stretch, said many solo crashes in protected lanes are often not reported to the state crash database, SWITRS, maintained by the California Highway Patrol.

“The data is garbage in, garbage out,” Issakov said. “We’re not getting an accurate picture. If a cyclist crashes on a berm, breaks an arm, calls a spouse and goes to the hospital, that incident likely never gets recorded.”

However, Ian Hembree, advocacy and community manager with the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, criticized the crash data be-

ing cited by commissioners and residents, particularly the inclusion of unverified incidents posted to Issakov’s Facebook group.

“It is concerning that a list from Facebook is utilized and counted in the cited statistic,” Hembree wrote in a letter on behalf of the Bicycle Coalition, Circulate San Diego and Families for Safe Streets. “As a result, the claimed 400% increase in severe crashes is inaccurate at best and dishonestly calculated at worst.”

Hembree urged the city to pause any plans to remove the Class IV bikeway until a more thorough evaluation is conducted.

Crash reports

Issakov’s group, Encinitas: PLEASE Restore Safety In Cardiff, comprising over 1,300 members, has compiled dozens of firsthand crash reports since the cycle track was installed.

Among them is longtime cyclist Ken, a North County Cycle Club ride leader, who suffered five broken ribs, a concussion and a fractured clavicle last October after striking a curb stop near The Kraken restaurant.

“Ken is an experienced rider who has ridden this corridor dozens of times,” wrote Rudnick. “So, this is not a case of ‘learning curve.’”

In another case, Annie Brightman, a regular commuter from Encinitas to La Jolla, said she lost control of her bike trying to avoid a car while re-entering the bike lane.

“I hit one of those curbs near Seaside so hard it bent my pedal and knocked out my back tire,” Brightman wrote in a public Facebook post. “I was lucky I didn’t end up in traffic.”

Parents have also reported crashes involving children. One boy was thrown into the traffic lane after hitting a curb in May 2020, and others have been injured while trying to dodge pedestrians.

The crash that claimed a cyclist’s life in March 2024 remains under investigation. The 48-year-old man was found near Seaside Beach with no vehicle involved, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.

Some, like resident Bob Coles, say they have given up on the designated bike path altogether.

“I’ll take my chances with disgruntled drivers, but the bike lane is more dangerous, even now that the berms have been painted,” Coles wrote. “It’s apparent that whoever designed this has never ridden a bike.”

Most recently, Issakov reported a solo crash, with pictures, on April 29 involving Herb Chin, an experienced cyclist, just south of Ki’s Restaurant in Cardiff. Chin was reportedly momentarily distracted near a gap in the bikeway barrier, glanced off it, and fell.

City staff are expected to review Medak’s recommendation in an upcoming council session.

at the council’s April 22 meeting.

A chief concern is the site’s proximity to several schools — 25 feet from the Montessori preschool, approximately 100 feet from San Marcos Middle School, and near a bus stop for Paloma Elementary School — and across the street from Mission Sports Park.

“I agree that we need to help and love our community if they need help, and we should provide it, but this is not the right location. Not next door to our middle school, preschools, elementary bus stops, sports centers, and where kids gather and walk,” said resident Stephanie Serratto.

Thilinie Messinger, owner of the Montessori School, said she worries that school staff would be left to deal with any disturbances by individuals from the recovery campus.

“This facility would affect the students who attend our school, providing an unsafe environment for them. I don’t think children should be around individuals who are detoxing from drugs,” said Messinger. “Not only as a director of a school, but as a parent, I just don’t think that’s a safe environment.”

As of Tuesday, over 1,200 residents have signed a petition opposing the project.

Interfaith CEO Greg Anglea said the organization, along with project partners San Marcos United Methodist and Wakeland

Housing & Development Corporation, acknowledges that there are questions and feedback about the proposed facility.

“If funding is secured, the campus would operate as a closed, secure facility with 24/7 staffing, no public access, and strong safety protocols in place. We look forward to working with stakeholders to share information and build understanding. Our priority is a safe, well-managed facility that will strategically address our region’s substance use crisis,” Anglea said.

While speakers demanded that the City Council take action to stop the project, Mayor Rebecca Jones explained that the city would not have control if it were awarded Prop 1 funds.

Passed by California

voters last spring, Prop 1 authorized a $6.38 billion general obligation bond to fund behavioral health and substance use treatment beds.

Under the legislature, projects that receive this funding are not subject to any local discretionary reviews or approvals.

“With Prop 1 funds, if they are awarded … then [Interfaith] would move forward with the process. It’s not something that would be built immediately; it would take time, because it would have to go through the planning process, but the city does not have jurisdiction over that,” Jones said.

She also noted that Interfaith was not required to enter the MOU with the city, but agreed to do so to address concerns from city leaders.

Under the MOU, Interfaith must implement 24/7 security, operate on a referral basis only (excluding walk-ins), and ensure that all individuals departing the program have access to residential accommodations upon exit. The organization would also be required to monitor the area surrounding the property.

Despite this, some community members shared concerns.

“I stand here to urge you, as the city of San Marcos, to retract any support you may have previously given to this project and to help us take a stand to stop the project from moving forward in this location,” said resident Jamie Benson, whose child will be attending San Marcos Middle School in a few years.

Pride by the Beach honors jailed stylist

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— The North County LGBTQ Resource Center has named a gay Venezuelan makeup artist imprisoned in El Salvador as the honorary grand marshal for this year’s Pride by the Beach festival and is calling for his immediate return to the United States.

Andry José Hernández Romero came to the U.S. seeking asylum from Venezuela, where he allegedly fled persecution based on his sexual orientation and political views, according to his attorneys.

After traveling through the treacherous Darién Gap — a 60-mile stretch of dense jungle between Colombia and Panama — Hernández Romero reached Mexico and secured an appointment to seek asylum at a legal U.S. border crossing near San Diego. He was taken into custody as his case was processed.

Instead of appearing before an immigration court as planned, Hernández Romero became one of 238 Venezuelan immigrants sent to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, a maximum-security prison. The transfers were carried out under the Trump administration using the Alien Enemies Act, a law not used since World War II, to de-

tain individuals labeled as terrorists or violent gang members.

Photographs by Time magazine photographer Philip Holsinger captured Hernández Romero and hundreds of others arriving at CECOT in March.

The North County LGBTQ Resource Center said Hernández Romero is “a victim of xenophobic, anti-LGBTQ+ immigration policies intensified under the Trump administration.”

“Despite having no criminal record and seeking refuge through legal channels, he was wrongfully accused of gang affiliation and deported from the United States without due process,” said Executive Director Max Disposti.

This year’s Pride by the Beach festival carries the theme “B.R.A.V.E: Bold, Resilient, Authentic, Voice Equality,” emphasizing courage in the face of injustice.

“Andry’s story is one of unimaginable resilience, and his lived experience serves as a powerful reminder of why we continue to fight for liberation, dignity, and human rights for all,” Disposti said.

Three Sisters: How to grow a historical garden

jano’s garden

For many Native American communities, three seeds — corn, beans, and squash — represent the most important crops.

When planted together, the Three Sisters help one another thrive and survive. Using corn, beans, and squash together in your garden draws upon centuries of Iroquois agricultural traditions and expertise.

THE THREE SISTERS

Corn, beans and squash are known as the Three Sisters because they complement one another in the garden and in the Native American diet as well.

CORN — Corn, which is planted in the center of the garden plot, provides tall stalks for beans to climb, so that the sprawling leaves of the butternut squash will not overrun the beans. Choose an early corn, such as early bantam or sunglow, which are suited to the North County weather. Be certain to plant as soon as possible to ensure successful pollination.

courage plant growth.

Choose a spot in your raised bed or in a plot that is at least 4 by 8 feet. Be certain your area is free of weeds and has a rich garden soil complemented by compost. Your bed needs at least eight hours of full sun for the corn to come to fruition.

SUPPLIES

One 4-foot tomato cage, two packages each of early corn, Kentucky pole beans, butternut or kabocha squash.

PROCEDURE

• Measure the circumference of the tomato cage, drawing a circle in the soil before planting corn. Create a large, low hill in the center of where the cage will be positioned. Plant seven seeds in a circle around the hill, to a depth of 1 ½ inches, 3 inches apart. Cover with soil, and place tomato cage on the edge of the hill. Water thoroughly.

• Check corn growth daily, water when the soil is dry. Once the corn is 6 inches high, you are ready to plant the next crop.

metal foot of the tomato cage, make a total of six more small hills. Poke two holes in each hill, 2 inches deep. Alternate planting three pole Beans and butternut squash in each hill until the hills are fully planted. Cover seeds and water thoroughly. Note: Adding the pole beans on the outside of the corn is not traditional but will improve you chance of more successful bean crop!

• Water your Three Sisters Garden when soil becomes dry and fertilize with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer.

• After six to eight weeks, the corn will start to produce and beans should produce daily. The butternut squash takes over two months and needs space to sprawl, growing to 6 feet in length before the vegetable will be ready for harvest.

GROW YOUR OWN HISTORICAL GARDEN

As your garden grows this summer, you might just feel like you are experiencing a part of American history! We will keep you posted on success and recipes when we are ready to harvest.

BEANS — Choose any bean called a pole bean. Kentucky pole beans grow rapidly and provide nitrogen to the soil. Planted two weeks after the corn emerges, they will quickly climb up the corn stalks for support.

since the long, leggy leaves can sprawl outside of the corn plot. Kabocha squash has also been a successful choice.

SQUASH — In our garden we have had great success with butternut squash,

A SMALL THREE SISTERS GARDEN

In the Carlsbad Senior Garden, we have a limited space for a traditional Three Sisters Garden, but we have devised a smaller version that any backyard garden can begin to plant right now! We placed a 4-foot tomato cage in our raised bed to protect the seeds and en-

• Gently lift the cage to expose the hill of corn, adding soil for height. Water the hill gently, and poke 2-inch holes, 3 inches apart, in a circle around the hill of corn. Place three bean seeds in each hole and cover with soil.

• Place the tomato cage back over the hill of corn.

• At the edges of each

The Kitchen at MCASD: Art, culinary mastery

When the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) reemerged from its extensive COVID-era transformation in 2022, it wasn't just the art scene that was revitalized. The culinary world was as well.

After a stunning fouryear, $105-million renovation led by renowned Selldorf Architects, the La Jolla flagship reopened with four times the gallery space, new seaside terraces and 104,400 square feet of reimagined artistic splendor.

Integral to this renewal was the debut of The Kitchen at MCASD, a dining experience as thoughtfully curated as the exhibits themselves.

The museum’s rebirth was fueled by Joan and Irwin Jacobs, whose $20 million gift was built on their decades-long commitment to MCASD. Their passion for contemporary art and community resonates throughout the galleries, and now extends to the culinary world with The Kitchen.

At the heart of The Kitchen is restaurateur Tracy Borkum, the vision ary behind Urban Kitchen Group (UKG).

Her CUCINA restau rants blend rustic Italian

and spot-on with her recommendations — made the choice easy by bringing out both.

I paired a final sip of the Rosa Grenache with the cheesecake for a sweet, satisfying end to the evening.

Of course, the setting itself deserves its own round of applause.

charm with Southern California freshness, creating whimsical spaces filled with open kitchens, alfresco patios and vibrant graffiti-inspired art.

It’s a philosophy that fits right in with MCASD’s fresh new look, where art, food and atmosphere mingle effortlessly.

Chef/partner Tim "TK" Kolanko leads the culinary side as UKG’s culinary director. With more than 30 years of experience, including a decade at La Jolla’s A.R. Valentien, TK brings a style rooted in seasonality, sustainability and collaboration.

Since joining forces with Borkum in 2019, he’s helped shape a collective that’s deeply connected to local farmers and artisans.

General Manager Megan Brown, a seasoned hospitality professional and advanced

has given her a rich hospitality background. Megan said The Kitchen felt like a natural fit for her, blending her love of art, wine and community in a beautiful seaside setting.

On a recent visit, my wife, Mary, and I enjoyed an experience that celebrated both flavor and artistry.

We started with a trio of dishes that set the tone for the night, starting with a Hamachi crudo with avocado, tomatillo, red Fresno chili and charred onion.

Next, we had a beet and orange salad accented with chèvre, dukkah and mint. We finished the trio with a savory chickpea panissa, which is made by pouring a chickpea batter into rectangles, chilling

overnight and frying in olive oil until golden brown.

The panissa was served with dates, smoked almonds, celery leaf and lemon aioli.

A crisp Laird Sauvignon Blanc was the perfect pairing for the trio, its minerality and bright acidity lifting each dish.

For dinner, Mary chose the chicken schnitzel — crispy, juicy, and topped with chicory, preserved lemon aioli, white anchovy and Parmesan.

It was almost like a deconstructed Caesar salad, with bold flavors and plenty of crunch. I went for the lamb shank, slow-braised to tender perfection, served with pistachio butter, peas, turnips and chard. Hearty, comforting

and full of springtime brightness, it was my favorite dish of the night.

We paired our mains with a French Arbalest Bordeaux Blend, which matched the meal’s richness nicely.

Megan also introduced us to a new addition to the wine list: the 2019 Oliveras Rosa Grenache from Jumilla, Spain, a bright, strawberry-forward wine that was a refreshing contrast to the deeper Bordeaux notes.

When it came to dessert, we were torn between the Basque cheesecake and the chocolate budino with salted caramel, vanilla whip, chocolate crumb and cocoa.

Our server, Shela Arias — knowledgeable, friendly,

Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, The Kitchen offers coastal Mediterranean vibes framed by art deco dinnerware and museum-quality surroundings. It’s an experience as much about the view and the vibe as it is about the food.

The Kitchen serves breakfast and lunch Wednesday through Sunday, and dinner Thursday through Sunday from 5 to 8 p.m. On the first Thursday of each month, they feature a special five-course dinner showcasing seasonal ingredients and luxury proteins — April focused on peas, and May will spotlight artichokes.

From contemporary art to coastal cuisine, The Kitchen at MCASD proves that great masterpieces aren't limited to gallery walls — they’re plated, poured and savored.

Fijian iguanas arrive at zoo

By City News Service

SAN

DIEGO

— The San Diego Zoo announced last week it is the new home of eight critically endangered Fijian iguanas rescued from a massive illegal wildlife trafficking operation in Spain.

The iguanas were among more than 600 reptiles seized in 2017. Over the last eight years, the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance has been in contact with the Fijian and Spanish governments to bring the lizards to San Diego Zoo. Here, geneticists will study them to see if they can assist with the conservation of the species.

“Confiscations of trafficked wildlife happen a lot more frequently than people realize, and reptiles are especially susceptible due to their high demand in the illegal pet trade,’’ said Brett Baldwin, curator of herpetology and ichthyology at the San Diego Zoo.

Before coming to San Diego, the iguanas were in the care of the Foundation for Research in Ethology and Biodiversity near Madrid. Their move to San Diego was authorized by

need more precision. Lift with context, not ego.

CONDITIONING: EFFICIENCY > EXHAUSTION

You’ve already got lungs and legs — now it’s about sharpening your engine for the exact demands of your sport.

• Zone training matters: Know when to hit anaerobic sprints and when to build that aerobic base. Blend it with intention.

• Condition under decision-making: Add cognitive load, reactive drills, or skill integration to simulate game fatigue.

• Measure everything: Heart rate variability, recovery windows, RPE. Guesswork doesn’t belong here.

Reminder: At the elite level, conditioning isn’t about who works harder — it’s about who works smarter and recovers faster.

MINDSET: THE WORK THAT’S OFTEN WHISPERED BUT NEVER SKIPPED

You already know the

Fiji’s Department of Environment and the National Trust of Fiji.

“Wildlife smuggling is a real problem that threatens Fiji’s endangered iguana populations that are already facing pressures from expanding human activities and invasive alien species,’’ said National Trust of Fiji Council Chairman Setoki Tuiteci.

The Fiji crested iguana is native to some of the island nation’s northwestern islands, living in tropical, dry forests. It is a large lizard, growing up to 30 inches in length, and is known

physical game. What separates you is how you respond when your body’s done, but the moment still demands more.

• Reset your mental habits: Even pros build unconscious routines that hold them back. Audit yours.

• Pressure train: Visualization, breath work, self-regulation drills — if you’re not training your nervous system, you’re leaving performance on the table.

• Keep the purpose front and center: Your “why” isn’t a cliché — it’s your anchor. Reconnect with it when the grind gets heavy. Reminder: The mind doesn’t just follow the body. The mind leads it — especially when the margin between good and elite is razor thin.

According to the zoo, Baldwin traveled to Spain to prepare the iguanas’ flight from Spain. The iguanas arrived in Los Angeles, where Wildlife Care Manager Brandon Scott received them. Scott then drove the iguanas to the San Diego Zoo’s Jennings Veterinary Hospital for indepth health assessments and quarantine. Following the quarantine period, the iguanas will make a new home at the zoo.

Losing a beloved pet is a terrifying thought for any owner — but thankfully, there’s a simple solution that greatly increases the odds of a happy reunion: microchipping. These tiny devices, no larger than a grain of rice, hold vital information that can help bring lost pets back home. May is Microchip Your Pet Month, and San Diego Humane Society is here to help you keep your pet safe.

Microchipping is a quick and painless procedure in which a tiny chip containing a unique identification number is placed under the skin of your pet. The chip can be registered with a national database and owners can attach their contact information. Then, using a scanner, animal shelters and veterinarians can quickly and easily identify lost pets and reunite them with their owners.

In addition to microchipping, San Diego Humane Society recommends having supplemental forms of identification. A well-fitting collar with an ID tag is essential, even for pets who remain primarily indoors or in fenced yards. Dog licenses, which are also required by California law, offer a third layer of protection and peace of mind.

Safety measures like these help reunite lost pets with their families every day. Just one example is Reddington, who was wandering the streets when a community member found him and brought him to San Diego Humane Society.

Luckily, Reddington was wearing a collar fitted with an ID tag and an engraved phone number to get in touch with his owner. He also had a microchip and a license, which helped the shelter quickly reunite him with his family.
