—

One man was killed and a woman severely injured when two pickup trucks collided on Interstate 15 near Escondido on May 21.

The Chevrolet Silverado and Ford F-150 collided at about 6:30 a.m. on the northbound side of the freeway in the unincorporated Jesmond Dene area.

The crash caused the Chevrolet to overturn

and roll side-over-side “numerous” times.

The driver of the Silverado, a 19-year-old Murrieta man, died at the scene of the crash. Paramedics took a woman, also 19, who had been riding in the Chevrolet to a hospital for treatment of serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the Ford, a 24-year-old Descanso man, and a passenger suffered no injuries.

Vista eyes Green Oak Ranch plot

Neighbors

reject county’s plan for rural inland parcel

By Laura Place

VISTA — Neighbors of the Green Oak Ranch property in Vista are advocating for the city to purchase and preserve the land, which is also being pursued by the County of San Diego and homelessness nonprofit Solutions for Change.

“We can’t allow the county to decide on a project of this magnitude without our input and consent.”

At a packed City Council meeting on Tuesday night, City Attorney Walter Chung announced that the council had agreed in closed session to move forward with an appraisal of the property. The announcement was met with cheers from those in attendance as the city’s first publicly acknowledged interest in purchasing the land.

Nearly a dozen residents, many from the Shadowridge neighborhood adjacent to the ranch, spoke to the council on Tuesday to oppose the county’s plan for the Green Oak Ranch site. The plan involves a $280 million sober living and behavioral health facility intended to fill a critical mental health service gap in the region.

Several residents shared concerns about the lack of communication from the county about the planned facility, and others claimed that the individuals receiving treatment would pose safety risks for children and families.

“While the intention behind this project is noble, it brings with it considerable concerns for our local community,

Kick off Summer with JAZZ in the Village

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

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

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

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

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

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

In preparation for the show, the band also records a weekly podcast called Jazz Legends, where you can learn about the music of jazz and the history of the legends who shaped it. Each week a different musician or composer from the setlist is showcased. It’s like hanging out with the guys each week before the show. The podcast is now available on all your favorite podcast apps like Apple Podcasts and Spotify and on the St. Michael’s website as well.

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

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

Barrel Republic closes in Carlsbad

Owner to launch Mexican eatery at former brewpub

By Fiona Bork CARLSBAD

—

Barrel Republic

in Carlsbad Village, the last location of the popular self-service brewpub, closed for good on March 10 after eight years, according to a company statement.

The building, located at 2961 State Street in downtown Carlsbad, is boarded up and currently under renovation. A sign outside the building states that Jalisco Cantina, a Mexican restaurant based in Montana, is “coming soon" from the same owner.

Barrel Republic owner David Pike is behind the opening of Jalisco Cantina, marking the Mexican restaurant's second attempt at a North County location.

“It’s been a great experience for us and it’s always hard to part ways with something that has been very special for so many years,” a Barrel Republic post states, announcing the closure of its last location.

“So thank you. We sincerely appreciate your support, your patronage, and especially your friendship.”

The Carlsbad brewery's farewell signals the end of Barrel Republic after closures in Pacific Beach, Oceanside, Escondido and Carlsbad.

In September 2019, The Press-Enterprise reported that Pike had confirmed Barrel Republic would open a Temecula location, but the restaurant

does not appear to have ever opened.

Pike opened Jalisco Cantina’s first location in Oceanside in the summer of 2017, but it's unclear when the location closed. In 2020, Pike opened a second location in Whitefish, Montana, which is still open.

Pike did not return a request for comment.

A sign outside Barrel Republic states Jalisco Cantina will be “coming soon” and asks those interested in a position to send resumes to dave@jaliscocantina.com.

“We’re completely renovating the place for something we hope you’ll enjoy even more this summer, but it will not be a Barrel Republic,” Barrel Republic's post states.

Jalisco Cantina will join Mexican restaurants Senor Grubby's, Tortilla Mia and Norte Mexican Food in Carlsbad Village, drawing criticism in comments to Barrel Republic's closure announcement on social media.

“Unfortunately, I’m not sure we need another Mexican restaurant in Carlsbad,” Dan Flanegan wrote. “It's my favorite but we already have many great choices.”

Other Barrel Republic regulars said they were disappointed about the restaurant’s final location's closure and shared memories they had had at the restaurant in the comments of the post

“It’s a sad day,” Carlos Carbajal wrote on the social media post. “It sure was special — I met my wife there (Carlsbad) as we waited for a barrel replacement in 2019.”

Beloved local beekeeper dies

By Claire Strong ENCINITAS —

Friends and family have been paying tribute to the life of popular Encinitas beekeeper James Conor McDonald, owner of the Encinitas Bee Company, who died last week.

The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed McDonald, 63, died on May 13, just days after posting a video of him surfing on Facebook. County officials said the cause of McDonald’s death may not be known for at least six months.

McDonald’s younger sibling Bryan described him as an “amazing older brother who taught me how to surf” and took to Instagram to share his shock, grief and memories.

“When I first heard the news, I was in total disbelief,” Bryan wrote on social media. “Waterman, hell man, wild man... James was a gifted natural athlete, an accomplished surfer, diver, water skier, skateboarder, horseman, snow skier, motocrosser, black belt in karate, bare-knuckle boxer (in Tijuana, no less) and allaround adventurer.”

According to his Facebook profile, McDonald was part of the 1979 class at Torrey Pines High School and a UCSD biology major. He spent 20 years training showjumpers in Ireland before dedicating his life to preserving local bees and the environment.

McDonald played a key role in persuading the City Council to support the city’s membership in Bee City, a

nationwide program to conserve pollinators.

The longtime beekeeper urged residents to help protect bee populations by hiring companies that perform humane, live removals of hives, arguing that unless in dangerous situations, there’s no reason to poison and kill bees.

“(McDonald) had a tremendous sense of humor and he was full of love and full of life,” said Mayor Tony Kranz, also a beekeeper who has spent time with McDonald.

McDonald also regularly spoke to schoolchildren about the importance of bees.

In 2016, the Encinitas Union School District hired McDonald as a vendor to remove any reported bee colonies on the district campuses after The Coast News

highlighted complaints regarding the extermination of a hive on the Flora Vista Elementary School campus.

“Colonies of bees that can’t be removed alive are like hen’s teeth. They don’t exist,” McDonald previously said.

James Wang, former chairman of the city’s Environmental Commission, once jokingly and admiringly called McDonald “a bit of a bee evangelist.”

In a 2016 article in The Coast News examining the declining bee population, McDonald named three

contributing factors: chemicals, habitat loss and weaker breeds. McDonald urged locals to plant only native plants that don’t require special chemicals to stay alive and to create more places for native bees to live, such as tiny bee hotels.

A celebration of life service for McDonald will be held at 11 a.m. on June 2 at Calvary Chapel, 1739 S. Melrose Drive, Carlsbad. The Irish-style wake will be followed by a paddle out to Seaside Reef in Cardiff, one of McDonald’s favorite surf spots.

L-7 park hopes dashed Nope: PUC won’t lower

Letters to the Editor

Iam disappointed with the City Council’s recent declaration of the L-7 site along Quail Gardens Drive as surplus land in order to turn what was designated as park space “in perpetuity” into a site for high-density, low-income housing.

Encinitas is a city of 20plus square miles (13,000 acres) with only 152 acres of park space.

That equates to approximately 1.1 acres of park for every 100 developed acres. This is not a matter of whether or not low-income housing is a good idea, but rather, it’s about the loss of promised park space and its value to the city’s positive mental and physical health-oriented lifestyle.

Under the current general plan, the small 2.5-mile stretch of Quail Gardens that L-7 is situated on is already due to be overwhelmed by over 1,100 units. Removing park space and adding this proposed project would only increase that density.

With that many units, not only would a park space be welcome, but it would also be needed along that stretch.

The rezoning of L-7 will also leave Quail Gardens as the most dense portion of the city with the least amount of park space. It’s easy to look around Encinitas and see that the need for park space equals the need

for housing.

A recent case can be made supporting this claim around Olympus Park, which opened in 2021. It was so popular that it overwhelmed the neighborhood for a significant amount of time and still maintains extraordinarily high usage today.

Go by any park in Encinitas, and its amenities will be in high demand, making it extraordinarily clear that Encinitas residents place a high value on park space.

Beyond the practical need for a park, the council’s action to vote and approve the change in zoning ignores the California Department of Housing and Community Development’s guidelines to evenly distribute housing throughout the city.

The HCD’s explanation of its recommendation includes, as one of its key points, the value of available parks and open space for residents when considering planning and zoning for sites like L-7 and the Quail Gardens Corridor.

The declaration of L-7 as surplus land displays the council’s lack of overall community vision and highlights their unfamiliarity with its location.

The L-7 lot is centrally located along Quail Gardens Drive. Its layout could accommodate a park on the east side, with plenty of parking for cars and bicycles on the west.

This valuable parking could serve a dual purpose as an overflow for events at the Botanic Gardens, Heritage Museum, Farm Lab and Encinitas Ranch Golf Course, as well as serving the day-to-day park visitors. The lot is large enough that a well-designed park could include sports fields, which are in high demand and contribute revenue through the Parks and Recreation Department.

Our recently adopted Native Plants Ordinance could have been implemented here. Imagine an entire park with native plants and trees for all to enjoy and appreciate. Our city could have turned L-7 into an asset that extended beyond just a park and created a treasure that preserved what little nature we have left.

In Encinitas, parks are where residents and families connect. Parks are where kids learn to be part of a community, grow and play. You’ll find parkgoers, from the youngest to seniors, creating friendships and enjoying neighborhood gatherings at parks across the city every day.

Simply put, parks are centerpieces and hubs for neighborhoods in Encinitas. Why would the council want to rob new and longtime residents along Quail Gardens Drive of that opportunity?

Another day, another battery storage fire

It seems like every week we read about another lithium-ion battery fire. The latest one is this week’s energy storage facility fire in Otay Mesa.

As of May 26, the fire seemed to be contained, but residents remained under an evacuation warning. So why are the San Diego County Board of Supervisors considering approving another

such facility in Eden Valley?

The proposed Seguro energy storage project would be one of the largest facilities of its kind, and certainly the largest in a residential zone.

With millions of battery cells packed into one location, the risk of a fire turning into a runaway chain reaction calamity becomes significant.

The health and safety

risk to firefighters, residents, and anyone downwind or in the path of a resulting wildfire is simply too great.

Do people have to die before our county leaders heed the warning flares and require battery storage facilities be built in appropriate locations?

Debbie O'Neill Harmony Grove

California’s benighted Public Utilities Commission claims its latest move to please the privately owned power companies it regulates will actually lower electric prices for some folks, especially the wealthiest and largest users.

But wait: As with most PUC rulings and claims of the last half century, this one has some factual problems.

Here’s what’s happened: The PUC dictated only days ago that starting late next year, all customers of the Southern California Edison Co., Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and San Diego Gas & Electric Co. will pay a fixed monthly charge in addition to usage costs.

The fixed charge will be $24.15 for most ratepayers, and either $6 or $12 per month for low-income folks enrolled in discount programs.

The money supposedly will fund installation and maintenance of electrical equipment needed to bring power to homes.

To compensate for the new charge, prices for actual power use will drop between 5 cents and 7 cents per kilowatt hour. One kwh is about the amount of juice needed to run a coffee maker for an hour.

This change will mostly benefit the wealthy, as those who use the most power will save the most. So much for years of campaigns that actually got many Californians to cut their electricity usage. This change makes electric car ownership and use of air conditioning more attractive.

But any lowered bills will not last long. In fact, because of the time lag in the new fixed rates’ effective date, the great likelihood is that no one’s net monthly bill will drop at all.

For this, there are two big reasons: 1) By the time it takes effect, at least one or two of the Big Three utilities will likely have filed for and won a separate general rate increase, and 2) Even more certainly, a charge for reviving and partially renovating the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant will take hold.

That’s partly because the utilities get increases regularly on a rotating basis. PG&E ratepayers started paying on one last winter, and customers of Edison and SDG&E won’t be far behind.

Everyone buying from one of these private utilities will also pay a per-kilowatt hour rate increase for the initial fiveyear extension in the life

Gov. Gavin Newsom and his five PUC appointees agreed last year that Diablo must live on at least five years beyond the 2025 date previously set for its closure.

Keeping it open, they say, is essential because renewable energy from wind and solar sources has not increased enough to replace Diablo’s power, about 9% of all California electricity.

Meanwhile, the advocacy Environmental Working Group said last year keeping the plant open will cost customers between $20 billion and $45 billion, to be assessed as additional charges on power used.

Others, including PG&E, say the cost will be less.

But the average customer will likely pay in the neighborhood of $5 per month for this, and there go the savings for slightly lower per-kilowatt hour rates in the vaunted new pricing formula.

If PG&E, which owns Diablo Canyon, gets the additional 15 years of operation it has also requested, that sum will grow.

Customers may not realize they are paying this new charge, because the PUC will have the companies include the charge in a bill category called “public purpose programs.”

But bet on this: The utilities get between 10% and 14% profit on every dollar they spend on capital investment in things like transmission lines. Expect PG&E to profit at least that much for whatever it spends to keep Diablo Canyon open.

So far, PG&E has only asked for these charges to be paid in 2024 and 2025. But the longer life Diablo eventually wins, the higher the cost will go, and the greater leap most California electric bills will take.

“This is by far the largest financial commitment to any single project the PUC has been asked to endorse,” said David Weisman, executive director of the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility. So much for the PUC’s claim to be making electricity cheaper.

Rural homeowners defend against crime ring

‘Burglary tourists’ target local homes in recent break-ins

By Claire Strong

ENCINITAS — Home -

owners in rural Encinitas are working together to protect their homes from the growing threat of “burglary tourists.”

Recently, several homes in Olivenhain have been burglarized by criminals belonging to a vast international theft group that has captured the attention of the FBI for its coordinated targeting of hundreds of wealthy households in the U.S.

“Burglary tourists” are criminals who enter the country on tourist visas for the sole purpose of committing crimes, namely various types of theft (burglary, robbery, fraud, etc.).

In Encinitas, homes that border open spaces, backwoods trails and access roads are particularly vulnerable, making places like Olivenhain attractive targets for burglars. The neighborhood’s rural network of less-traveled roadways and footpaths can serve as entry points and escape routes without attracting attention.

However, some neighbors in these areas have banded together to thwart burglary tourists, establishing a group communication thread that allows them to relay information quickly.

“All the neighbors have come together,” said Olivenhain resident Lynn McComas, who lives near a trail that extends into Carlsbad. “We constantly message each other. We let each other know when we’re going out of town and when we’ll return.”

McComas has been lucky and has not personally been a victim of these

highly coordinated burglary rings. She credits her dogs, security cameras, gates and monitors for keeping the criminals at bay. But others living nearby haven’t been so fortu-

nate.

According to McComas, while a nearby family was visiting relatives, they watched in real-time on surveillance cameras as burglars entered the home

and stole their late mother’s jewelry.

McComas said another neighbor was left “terrified and traumatized” after men broke into her home through her daughter’s

bedroom window. No one was home at the time of the incident.

The recent break-ins aren’t the first time Encinitas and surrounding areas have had trouble with South American theft rings. In 2022, the sheriff’s department reported that a South American crime ring was behind a string of North County burglaries targeting affluent neighborhoods in Rancho Sante Fe, Del Mar, Encinitas, northern Poway and 4S Ranch.

Burglary tourists

According to the FBI, many thieves are believed to have entered the U.S. from South America, namely Chile, on a tourist visa as part of a visa waiver program. Under the program, citizens from 41 countries can visit the states for up to 90 days for tourism and business purposes.

Authorities have said the sophisticated crime ring typically comprises individuals from the South American countries of Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. However, Chile is the only country in South America eligible for this type of waiver.

Before they travel, all foreign national visitors are screened using the internet-based Electronic System for Travel Authorization to assess whether they pose a law enforcement or security risk.

If approved, visitors can enter the country on a 90-day tourist visa, suggesting that some individuals who later join international crime rings likely have no previous criminal record or use fake passports and stolen identities to take advantage of the waiver program.

International theft groups, many of whose members law enforcement has linked to Chilean na-

tionals, usually target homes in affluent neighborhoods when homeowners are out of town. The group is known to wear camouflage and ghillie suits, jam wi-fi signals to disrupt security alarm systems and conduct surveillance to learn their victims’ schedules.

Some burglars have even used boats to raid waterfront homes via private docks.

After breaking into a residence, the thieves typically focus on the master bedroom and take highend jewelry, accessories, and cash. The criminal groups reportedly wire their stolen proceeds back to their home countries.

The FBI warns these rings are also likely responsible for “distraction robberies” at grocery stores and other commercial centers, removing credit cards from a victim’s wallet to purchase pre-paid gift cards.

In May 2023, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office announced that more than 140 defendants, including 24 belonging to five different burglary crews, had been charged in the last year with committing home invasion robberies, commercial burglaries, and smashand-grab robberies.

McComas said she wants Chile removed from the list of countries allowed to participate in the visa waiver program to prevent the growing epidemic of burglary tourism.

“The bad guys are winning this. Even if they’re caught, they’re just let go,” McComas said. “We have to make ourselves unattractive for burglars because they’re out there and winning this game.” Knowledge, communication, and prevention are critical in the ongoing bat-

Sales tax hike to ballot

By Claire Strong ENCINITAS

— The fate of a 1% sales tax hike in Encinitas is now in the hands of local voters after the City Council voted 4-1 to add the proposal to the November ballot.

Councilmember Bruce Ehlers was the lone dissenting vote during the May 22 council meeting, saying he would be “more supportive of a half-cent sales tax increase.”

The measure also divided residents at Wednesday’s meeting over the proposed tax hike.

“We do not need more taxes; we need you, the mayor and the council to prioritize expenditures more economically,” said Sheila Cameron, a former mayor of Encinitas who has lived in the city for 50 years.

Resident Rachel Graves agreed.

“I’m happy to pay an increased sales tax once I feel like this council can be accountable and fiscally responsible with the money we already give you,” Graves said.

In Encinitas, the combined sales tax rate is 7.75%, one of the lowest in California. The city does not currently levy a municipal sales tax. The revenue from the sales tax increase is expected to generate an additional $15 million annually for the city.

Mayor Tony Kranz acknowledged that getting locals to support the increase may be an uphill battle but thinks the measure has a “pretty good chance of success.”

Part of the sales tax measure’s funding would potentially be earmarked for city services such as fixing potholes, upgrading aging storm drains and building two new fire stations. However, the measure does not specify how the revenue will be spent.

The results of a recent city-funded survey conducted by True North Research showed that approximately 60% of 1,242 survey participants would vote in favor of adopting a sales tax if the measure were on the November ballot, either voting definitely yes (27.2% to 30.5%) or probably yes (30.4% to 33.5%).

Resident Judy Berline said it was a “difficult” decision but favors the rate increase overall.

Dick Sten, president of the Ranch Community Association, shared a similar view.

“I think this is a small and reasonable price to pay for improved roads, safety drainage and safety measures," Sten said.

General taxes on local ballots require approval from a simple majority of voters. An oversight committee will be created to track how the money is spent.

Ultra-fast internet coming to The Ranch

Service provider’s 10G tech enters SD County market

By Samantha Nelson RANCHO SANTA FE

— A California-based internet service provider will soon begin installing infrastructure to bring 10G internet speeds to Rancho Santa Fe residents.

Race Communications was the first internet provider to bring 10G to California after installing services in Lancaster in January 2023.

“Since then, we have deployed the new technology to many of our other communities, including Desert Hot Springs, Tulare and Farmersville,” said Director of Marketing Kaitlin Colston. “This technology will be offered in most of our new markets moving forward.

Rancho Santa Fe will be Race’s first 10G internet community in San Diego County, with 2,050 homes and businesses in Rancho Santa Fe set to receive installation services beginning in June.

“This groundbreaking technology will connect residents to more opportunities and future-proof the community for years to come,” said Carlos Alcantar, Race's chief technology officer.

The term “10G” refers to a broadband network capability that uses fiber optic cables to deliver internet services. The "G" in 10G stands for gigabits per second, which is a measure of data transfer speed.

10G internet speed is unrelated to the 5G wireless technology used in cell phones and other mobile devices. Colston said that 10G uses light-based data transmission in fiber optics, which is completely different from 5G, a wireless connection that operates using radiofrequency (RF) radiation to transmit data over the air.

“Some people have expressed concerns about potential health risks from exposure to RF radiation, although scientific consensus and regulatory agencies like the FCC and WHO have found that the levels emitted by 5G networks are within safe limits,” Colston said. “Fiber optic cables use light to transmit data, which does not involve RF radiation. Therefore, concerns associated with RF radiation in 5G do not apply to 10G. Light-based data transmission in fiber optics completely differs from RFbased wireless communication and does not pose the same health concerns.”

According to Colston, Race has a “great partnership” with Rancho Santa Fe, where it began building up its infrastructure

in 2018. With the existing fiber network already in place underground, current customers can call in to begin their equipment upgrade for 10G speeds.

“The partnership and desire to bring the residents the latest technological advancements made it the perfect community to begin offering our future-proof 10-Gpbs fiber internet,” Colston said. “Residents will benefit from a faster connection, allowing them to stream more, browse faster and connect to more devices.”

Race is one of the few internet service providers currently offering 10G internet, which is limited in availability partly due to how new the technology is.

“Our research shows we are the only provider in our service areas, Rancho Santa Fe included, to offer this speed,” Colston said. “What sets us apart is our all-fiber network’s capability to harness the power of 10G, while other ISPs have a long way to go in rebuilding their copper networks. Many providers are still only in the testing phases for 10G technology.”

Rancho Santa Fe residents interested in signing up for Race 10G internet speeds can place pre-orders for services by new customers and will work with Race’s installation crews to get connected to the fiber network.

Otay Mesa battery fire improves

By City News Service

OTAY MESA — Firefighting efforts continue to improve containment of a commercial structure fire that broke out 11 days ago at an energy storage facility in the Otay Mesa area as property managers and contractors work to stabilize the batteries, officials said May 26.

Units were dispatched in the early afternoon of May 15 to Lithium Ion Batteries at 641 Camino De La Fuente, a 13,600-squarefoot battery and energy storage facility in an in-

dustrial part of San Diego County.

A road closure was also in effect at Camino De La Fuente at Paseo De La Fuente, according to Cal Fire.

Although there have been no instances of thermal runaway for over twodays, the risk still exists, Cal Fire officials said in an incident update.

A total of 15 personnel are currently assigned to the fire, includingone engine and 12 unnamed resources.

Carlsbad looks to fill vacant seat

By Laura Place CARLSBAD

—The Carlsbad Planning Commission is seeking local applicants to fill a seat left vacant by former Vice Chair Kevin Sabellico earlier this month, with Commissioner Roy Meenes named the new vice chair in the meantime.

imously agreed earlier this month to appoint Meenes, who is in his second term on the commission, as the new Vice Chair until the appointment process circles back around in January.

San Diego County Department of Environmental Health-Hazardous Materials Division were assisting in the effort.

No injuries have been reported, and the cause of the fire is under investigation. An expected time of full containment has not been reported.

Residents near a proposed Seguro battery storage site in Eden Valley outside Escondido have pointed to the Otay Mesa incident one of the main reasons the group is opposed to a similar facility in North County.

District 4 City Councilmember Teresa Acosta will nominate one of the applicants on June 25, with approval required from the majority of the council at the meeting.

Carlsbad’s planning department is accepting applications until noon on June 7. Applications are available on the city’s website at carlsbad.ca.gov and in person at the City Clerk’s Office at 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive.

To qualify, applicants must be Carlsbad residents and registered voters. They must also be able to attend regular meetings on the first and third Wednesdays of the month at 5 p.m. The commission holds public hearings on matters related to land use, including zone changes, development permits, the General Plan, specific plans, the Local Coastal Program and more.

Commissioners unan-

Commissioner Joseph Stine noted that Meenes previously served as vice chair but didn’t get to fully experience the role since it was during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I think it’s long overdue. He’s level-headed, he knows the process, and I believe he’d do a good job,” Stine said.

Meenes agreed to accept the designation.

“I think that, given the short time that we have between now and December, I’m more than willing to step up to the plate if that’s what the commission and other commissioners feel comfortable with,” Meenes said.

Sabellico announced his resignation from the commission and his decision to withdraw from the City Council District 2 race on May 8. In neighboring Encinitas, former Planning Commissioner Kevin Doyle also decided to run for City Council, leaving his post as chairman when his term ended in mid-March. William Brent Whitteker was appointed to fill Doyle’s position.

NCTD to redevelop two Sprinter stations

By Staff

OCEANSIDE — The North County Transit District Board of Directors voted on May 16 to negotiate exclusive agreements with two developers to redevelop Rancho Del Oro and Melrose Sprinter stations.

USA Properties Fund Inc., along with Waterford Property Company, will handle the Melrose station, while S.V.D.P. Management Inc., commonly known as Father Joe’s Villages, will take on the Rancho Del Oro station.

“These projects will be instrumental to increasing ridership and enhancing community spaces,” said NCTD Board Chair Jewel Edson. “The addition of housing and amenities at each station improves the convenience of taking transit and will have a positive impact on the surrounding communities.”

The Melrose Avenue and Rancho Del Oro stations are part of NCTD’s transit-oriented development strategy at 11 sites across North County, including Oceanside Transit Center, Carlsbad Village and Poinsettia stations, Escondido Transit Center, and five additional Sprinter stations throughout Oceanside, Vista and San Marcos.

“We’re committed to developing our stations in

a way that improves the transit experience in North County and benefits the community by bringing needed housing and economic development,” said NCTD CEO Shawn M. Donaghy. “The selection of potential developers for these sites is the first step in transforming these transit stations into vibrant, livable communities with easy access to our transit system.”

The transit-oriented development projects will include housing, retail and community amenities like parks, trails and gathering spaces. The projects are a part of NCTD’s strategy to transform underutilized land into mobility hubs that will increase ridership and regional connectivity; support regional housing goals and community amenities; and promote environmental stewardship and economic growth in the region.

The proposed Melrose and Rancho Del Oro station projects will include low income and very low income, adding to Oceanside’s supply of affordable housing. Melrose Sprinter Station project includes:

• Four hundred and twenty affordable housing units

• A neighborhood park, pedestrian walkway and enhanced transit walking areas

Beacon’s trail reopens to public

By Claire Strong

ENCINITAS — The Beacon’s Beach access trail in Leucadia has reopened just in time for the unofficial start of summer.

The switchback dirt trail was closed in January after winter storms caused a landslide that collapsed a portion of the path.

Scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography monitored the bluff for several weeks following the event before concluding that things had stabilized.

After months of repairs, the city said work is complete and the trail was open to the public for Me-

morial Day weekend.

However, fencing will remain at the parking lot’s north end until a hole under the sidewalk is fixed.

The iconic Beacon’s Beach trail has a history of landslides. In May 2022, part of the cliff collapsed, resulting in the stretch being shut off to the public for a month.

Over the years, multiple plans have been proposed to stabilize the bluff and trail, including replacing the dirt path with a metal or concrete staircase, constructing a permanent seawall, or building a sand-cement buttress at the base.

Duplex fire kills one, injures another

By Samantha Mason CARLSBAD

— One person was killed and another person injured in a two-alarm house fire on May 25 in a residential neighborhood of Carlsbad.

The Carlsbad Fire Department responded to a report of a fire at a duplex at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Saturday in the 900 block of Pine Avenue near the intersection of Harding Street.

The blaze prompted indefinite road closures along Harding Street from Oak Avenue to Pine Avenue.

The Oceanside Fire Department assisted Carlsbad fire crews, sending three fire engines, a ladder truck and an ambulance.

One death was confirmed, and the injured person was taken to a hospital, Carlsbad Fire Department PIO Holly Gonzalez told media outlets.

The cause of the blaze was not immediately known, but firefighters suspect faulty electrical wiring may have started the fire. The victims’ identities have not been released.

According to NBC7, neighbors said the man had possibly died while attempting to save five dogs inside his burning home.

The property owner, an 83-year-old woman, survived the fire af-

Solutions forfeits housing site

Carlsbad takes ownership of 945 Chestnut Avenue

By Samantha Nelson CARLSBAD —

Solutions for Change has forfeited ownership of 16 affordable apartment units at 945 Chestnut Avenue to the city after changes to state funding rules made the nonprofit’s original goal of turning the property into drug-free housing for homeless individuals unattainable.

The nonprofit, which provides services to homeless individuals and families, including housing, counseling services, parenting and finance classes, job skills training and work experience through its Solutions Academy program, has owned the property since 2014.

At the time, the city gave Solutions for Change a $3.1 million loan to rehabilitate and turn the property into permanent, affordable housing for homeless families who had graduated from the Solutions Academy.

As part of the agreement, the city required Solutions for Change to obtain additional funding by the end of 2019 to plan, design, and obtain permits for the much-needed rehabilitation of the property.

Since the nonprofit bought the building, the state has changed its funding model to require homeless programs to use the Housing First approach.

will issue a request for proposals to find a new owner to acquire the property and either rehabilitate the 16 existing affordable apartment units or demolish the project and develop a new 100% affordable housing project with potentially more units.

Staff expects to present proposals to the City Council in September. If the city

doesn’t find a new owner before Solutions for Change is released in December, it will be responsible for managing and renovating the apartment complex.

Some council members expressed worry that whatever proposals come forward would seek to turn the property into another Windsor Pointe, located

near the Chestnut Avenue property.

Windsor Pointe, a 50unit low-income complex, has been a growing headache for the city and residents alike due to reports from neighbors about high rates of crime, drug use and mental health concerns there.

Windsor Pointe’s developer, Affirmed Housing, could not secure state funding for a veterans-only site, prompting the builder to seek other resources.

Eventually, the company secured $10.1 million from the No Place Like Home program, which requires the apartment complex to be barrier-free and to provide housing for people with serious mental health illnesses like major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder.

Councilmember Melanie Burkholder asked staff to avoid any proposals that followed Housing First or

ter jumping from her second-story window, according to firefighters on the scene.

...Firefighters were battling a structure fire that broke out on May 25 in a residential neighborhood of Escondido.

The fire was reported around 12:40 a.m. Saturday in the 500 block of Valley Grove Lane, the Escondido Police Department told City News Service.

The blaze extended from the attic to the roof and other parts of the residence. The cause of the fire was not immediately known.

...A woman died after crashing a vehicle into a tree on May 26 in Oceanside.

The crash happened at the intersection of Rock Hill Ranch and Valley Center roads around 7:15 p.m. Sunday, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The woman was temporarily trapped in her vehicle, the CHP reported. It was unclear if she had to be extricated. Her name was withheld pending notification of next of kin.

It was unclear if drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash. No other injuries were reported. The crash was being investigated by the CHP.

City News Service contributed to this report.

Under Housing First, service providers quickly connect individuals experiencing homelessness to permanent housing without entry barriers like sobriety, treatment or service participation requirements.

Solutions for Change adamantly opposes the Housing First approach and requires its participants to be drug- and alcohol-free and to participate in workforce training. Due to this, the nonprofit could not obtain state funding or fulfill its goal with the Chestnut Avenue property.

The Solutions for Change board decided to turn the property over to the city in exchange for having its loan forgiven. The nonprofit agreed to continue to run the property until December.

According to Chris Megison, president and founder of Solutions for Change, 945 Chestnut Avenue is the fifth piece of real estate the non-profit has had to give up over the last three years because of the Housing First state funding requirement.

“This Housing First law is decimating the city and a lot of cities around San Diego County,” Megison said at the May 21 council meeting. “I’m sorry we couldn’t get this done.”

The property will continue to include at least 15 affordable units, with the 16th unit serving as an onsite manager’s unit.

With the City Council’s unanimous approval, staff

Talking tequila and the Encinitas Wine & Food Festival

2024 marks the 21st anniversary of the Encinitas Rotary’s Wine & Food Festival. Since its inception, the festival has raised over $1.4 million for local nonprofits, including the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce.

This year’s festival features over 50 food and beverage vendors with live entertainment from Celeste Barber in the beautiful setting of the Encinitas Ranch Golf Course.

backstory of its name and bottle design are as unique as its taste. Our mission has always been to share with others the marvelous world of the great tequila experience.”

John invites everyone to come to the Wine & Food Festival and taste Venga for themselves.

Many people attend just to hear Celeste, and come back year after year for the lamb chops from Promiscuous Fork, the “Cardiff Crack” prepared by the Rotary Home Team and to sip delightful California wines. www.encinitaswinefestival.com.

One of the returning vendors this year is John Simonelli, Encinitas Chamber of Commerce member and former president of the Encinitas Rotary Club.

John spent 30 years as an executive at ABC Supply company before retiring, and is now serving on boards, volunteering and growing his own tequila brand, Venga.

John was sampling tequilas in the Cancun airport shops in 1995 when the thought came to him: Americans deserve to know there are good tequilas out there. Some are meant to be savored, not thrown back in a shot glass. After decades of traveling across the border, connecting with locals, and learning about the cultural importance of tequila and the life-sustaining agave plant, Venga Tequila was born.

“This year’s festival will have all the fun and interaction as in the past, just more of it! It’s all about sipping, interacting, laughing and connecting in a relaxed atmosphere. You must come to the booth to hear the stories of the Venga name, bottle design and taste profile, and make Venga memories!”

“To me, the basic entry fee to participate in life is giving to and helping others. Supporting events like the Wine & Food festival help the Encinitas Rotary and Encinitas Chamber give back to our local community.”

Remembering James Hubbell

By Jeff Swenerton

Each year, over 3,000 elementary school students and thousands of Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve visitors are inspired and connected to nature by the amazing Elfin Forest Interpretive Center.

Its creation and design was the vision of San Diego’s renowned artist James Hubbell and his son, architect Drew Hubbell, and the result of a unique partnership that brought together

The Escondido Creek Conservancy and a water district, the Olivenhain Municipal Water District.

It is recognized as one of the finest interpretive centers in the county, if not the country.

With the recent passing of James Hubbell at age 92, the Conservancy is so honored to have had the opportunity to spend time with James. His legacy is so much a part of us.

He once said, “Seeing nature through the eyes of an artist evokes an emotional response.” The Interpretive Center is a celebration of that connection, created with the works of five gifted artists under James’ direction.

As you enter, you are drawn inside by a remark-

able handmade tile representation of the Escondido Creek watershed. The ceiling is covered with a colorful mural representing the four seasons of our native chaparral environment.

James thought it was important that we always focus on children. He wanted the entry patio of the Interpretive Center to be a gathering place for groups.

Over the years an endless number of young visitors have been warmly welcomed there by the Conservancy’s education staff and OMWD rangers. The center is filled wall-to-wall with inquiry-based activities for kids of all ages to explore.

The Science Lab is always active with children and adults gathered, exploring the micro world through its powerful video microscope. Exhibits frequently include art and photography.

Over the years, James continued being a presence at the Interpretive Center, attending events. The Conservancy commemorated his 80th birthday by asking him to give us a quote.

This quote is in our entry: “Here is a place, a creek, a valley that offers us quiet and the sense that we belong.”

James also added one of his works on the path leading to the center, a large beautiful 150-pound cast bronze representation of the Kumeyaay creation story.

The Conservancy and the Interpretive Center will always honor the connection of nature and art that he showed us. We will always focus on providing inspiring experiences for the

children of North County. The Interpretive Center is located at 8833 Harmony Grove Road. Please visit and appreciate James’ enduring legacy. Thank you for being a part of our journey.

Jeff Swenerton is a retired elementary school principal and former Board Member of The Escondido Creek Conservancy.

Regional nonprofits seek art, artists

By Staff REGION

— Local art initiatives are ramping up as an Oceanside downtown business group seeks to hire an art coordinator to help choose the best mural design for the Oceanside Transit Center’s pedestrian tunnel, while an Encinitas-based art gallery seeks artists to display work in upcoming exhibits.

Art that Excites, a MainStreet Oceanside program that handles curating public art murals throughout Downtown Oceanside, has partnered with the North County Transit District (NCTD) to create two murals at the Oceanside Transit Center: one on the side of the parking structure and another in the pedestrian tunnel.

While final installation of the parking structure’s mural is anticipated by July, MainStreet has recently issued a call for an art coordinator to submit a proposal that would support selecting the best design for the tunnel.

Applicants do not have to be Oceanside residents, however MainStreet is encouraging local art coordinators to submit proposals.

According to the non-profit, the selected applicant must be capable of providing a “professional and quality service” while working together with MainStreet and NCTD.

Proposals will be accepted until June 14 at 5 p.m. The winning proposal will be notified by July 19.

The art coordinator will be expected to support art outreach beginning in July through August with the expectation to deliver a one-page summary of the outreach plan to MainStreet and NCTD by Sept. 1.

In other regional art news, the San Dieguito Art Guild’s Off Track Gallery in Encinitas is inviting Southern California artists, including non-members of the guild, to submit artwork for its upcoming Small Image Show in July. Cash awards will be given for Best of Show and first place in five categories.

According to the guild, the exhibit offers “excellent sales potential due to local and tourist walk-in traffic.”

Show entries are accepted until June 19 or once the guild reaches 100 entries. For questions, email offtrackmonthlyshow@gmail.com.

A reception for all artists and the award ceremony for winners will occur on June 29 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. as part of Encinitas’ Art Night.

The nearly 60-yearold guild is also seeking local artists to become members, which includes regularly exhibiting and selling artwork at the Off Track Gallery. Membership involves fees for joining the guild, showcasing artwork, and a percentage of sales.

The guild requires potential members to par -

ticipate in three monthly shows before being eligible to lease gallery space. For more information, go to OffTrackGallery.com/membership. For questions about artwork

that is displayed on a wall, contact Haixin Li at haixin08@gmail.com. For questions about artwork that is displayed on a shelf, contact Marcy Evers at evermar19@yahoo.com.

Good food is just not enough

Two years ago I wrote about the opening of Gelati & Peccati Pizza in Encinitas, directly across the street from Mr. Moto Pizza. At the time I advised G&P to get lots of visibility by:

• Promoting with coupons, radio and social media

• Donating to charitable events

• Holding an open house to welcome the neighbors and influencers

• Visiting local groups, like Rotary and the Chamber of Commerce

As the new guys in town, G&P had a huge opportunity to get folks to check them out once. The trick would be to keep them coming back.

And I added, “Mr. Moto will obviously also need to up their game. Because if the existing operation doesn’t market themselves more aggressively and creatively, the new kids will eat their lunch.”

You guessed it: Mr. Moto's Encinitas location is now closed.

Mr. Moto has six other locations, a vibrant website, and an active social media presence. Their Yelp reviews are overwhelmingly positive.

They’re obviously doing something right.

Why’d they close in Encinitas? Who can say? My outreach to corporate headquarters for this column went unanswered.

I loved their food, but costs of ingredients, labor, rent and utilities are all rising.

never advertised in his paper, so perhaps that was the issue. With 19 other eateries within one block (including G&P), there’s stiff competition. We may never know for sure.

This is a timely reminder that no matter what you sell, there’s always someone ready to muscle in on your turf. You must constantly acquire new customers to offset the attrition of people leaving you to buy elsewhere.

Just doing things like you’ve always done them before doesn’t fly anymore. Regardless of your industry, someone’s gunning for you. To survive and thrive, you’d better have a few tricks to pull out on a moment’s notice.

This means understanding your customer, product and marketplace. Thinking differently, including being able to look at other industries for ideas to borrow, is critical.

It’s inevitable that new competitors will appear. If you’re prepared, you’ll be positioned to co-exist with the challenges they present. However, if you stubbornly take the attitude, “Why should we have to market?” keep those packing boxes handy. You’re going to need them.

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

DRAFT EL CAMINO REAL SPECIFIC PLAN AND NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF A DRAFT MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION

PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT PERIOD: JUNE 3, 2024, TO JULY 2, 2024

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a 30-day public review and comment period has been established pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for a Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) which has been prepared for the proposed project as identi ed below. During the public review period, the Draft IS/MND will be available for review on the City’s website at www.encinitasca.gov/I-Want-To/Public-Notices/Development-Services-Public-Notices under “Environmental Notices” and at the Planning Division of the Development Services Department, City of Encinitas, 505 South Vulcan Avenue, Encinitas, CA 92024.

PROJECT NAME: El Camino Real Speci c Plan (ECRSP)

CASE NUMBER: PLCY-007016-2024

APPLICANT: City of Encinitas

STAFF CONTACT: Melinda Dacey, Housing Services Manager; mdacey@encinitasca.gov

LOCATION: The El Camino Real Speci c Plan (ECRSP; project) encompasses approximately 228 acres of the commercial corridor along El Camino Real from Encinitas Boulevard to the south to Olivenhain Road to the north, excluding Home Depot and Encinitas Ranch Town Center commercial properties.

DESCRIPTION: The proposed ECRSP identi es goals and objectives related to existing land use, urban design, parks and open space, streetscape, transportation, and sustainable infrastructure for future site-speci c development and redevelopment within the Speci c Plan Area (SPA). The ECRSP provides a regulatory framework to guide future site-speci c development and improvements within the commercial corridor to support revitalization of the SPA through implementation of streetscape improvements, and objective design standards that would ensure future site-speci c development and redevelopment achieve the land use vision and design objectives intended for the SPA. While the ECRSP and City allowable land uses support commercial, o ce professional and public/semi-public land uses, future residential development that relies on State housing legislation may occur within the SPA. Although potential housing implemented under State law is outside the scope of this project, the ECRSP objective design standards would apply to all development, including housing, except where in con ict with applicable State legislation.

ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: The City has performed an Environmental Initial Study, which has determined that no, or less than signi cant environmental impacts would result from the proposed project with mitigation measures incorporated into the project. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration is recommended for adoption. Written comments regarding the adequacy of the draft Mitigated Negative Declaration must be received by the Development Services Department at the address provided above by 5:00 p.m. on July 2, 2024. A nal environmental document incorporating public input will then be prepared for consideration by decision-making authorities.

County gets $3M for RSF roundabout project

By Samantha Nelson RANCHO SANTA

FE — County staff updated residents earlier this month about a proposal to install three roundabouts along a main thoroughfare in Rancho Santa Fe, including state funding available in mid-2027.

The three roundabouts are proposed along Paseo Delicias/Del Dios Road at El Camino del Norte, El Montevideo, and the Via de la Valle intersections in the unincorporated community of Rancho Santa Fe.

While all three intersections are fully funded for technical engineering studies and design phases, only the eastern roundabout at El Camino del Norte will receive construction funding — $3 million from TransNet — in three years.

Construction of the El Camino del Norte roundabout is expected to begin by 2028, according to county staff.

An additional $12 million will be needed to complete the other two roundabouts, which county staff is pursuing from different state, regional and federal funding opportunities.

The three roundabouts are intended to create a continuous traffic flow while improving safety for pedes-

trians, equestrians and bicyclists on the rural Paseo Delicias corridor, a high-volume route between Interstate 5 and Interstate 15.

“The community has expressed strong support for speed reduction and intersection safety through this corridor, including for bicycle users and pedestrians, equestrian-friendly pathways and crosswalks,” said Donna Durckel, communications officer for the county’s land use and environment group. “They have also been involved in landscaping plant palette decisions.”

The El Camino del Norte roundabout experiences heavy traffic, making it difficult for cross traffic to perform turns there.

Existing issues at the El Montevideo intersection include a four-way traffic stop that delays traffic, vehicles approaching at high speeds, bus stops that block vehicle lanes, no pedestrian or equestrian protections and historic property at the southwest corner.

The Via de la Valle intersection, close to where Las Colinas merges onto the road, is a skewed, multi-leg intersection with low-visibility pedestrian and equestrian crossings and bus stops using travel lanes.

According to staff, the

project will include improvements to stormwater drainage, remain consistent with Rancho Sante Fe’s historic community character and minimize impacts on property owners.

Rapid flashing beacons, similar to those activated by push buttons at the La Granada intersection, will be installed at all three roundabouts for pedestrian and equestrian traffic. Designs will also reduce speeds through the intersections, include rolled curbs to allow turns for 40-foot vehicles, and have minimal lighting installed. Each roundabout will be 105 feet in diameter, with a central island and 16-foot-wide circulating lanes.

Bus stop shelters also will be improved as part of the project.

The project has already been in the works for some time and will likely take several more years to reach completion. The San Diego County Board of Supervisors certified the environmental impact report in 2016 before approving funding for engineering plans in 2020.

Once construction funding becomes available, county staff will provide more information about the other two roundabouts.

BILL WALTON, 1952-2024

Devoted San Diegan, Hall of Famer dies at 71

Basketball, city icon loses cancer battle

By City News Service

SAN

of Famer Bill Walton, the greatest basketball player San Diego produced, died Monday at his home in San Diego following a prolonged battle with cancer, the NBA announced. He was 71.

Walton was born on Nov. 5, 1952, in La Mesa, where he grew up and played basketball at Helix High School, leading the Highlanders to San Diego Section championships in 1969 and 1970 and a 49-game winning streak.

Walton was selected as Player of the Year in all three of his varsity seasons at UCLA — freshman were ineligible to play on the varsity level when Walton entered UCLA in 1970 — and won NCAA championships in 1972 and 1973.

Walton’s Bruin teams won their first 73 games, as UCLA extended its winning streak to 88 games, the NCAA men’s basketball record. During his three varsity seasons, the Bruins went 49-0 in Pauley Pavilion, as part of a 98-game home winning streak that spanned the 1970-71 through 1975-76 seasons.

In the 1973 championship game against Memphis State, Walton made 21 of 22 shots for 44 points, a championship game record, as UCLA won its seventh consecutive championship and ninth in 10 seasons.

Walton was the first player selected in the 1974 NBA draft by the Portland Trail Blazers, but had an injury-plagued pro career, playing at least 60 games in only three seasons. He played only 14 games between the 1978-79 and 198182 seasons, missing three seasons with a foot injury.

However, he did lead Portland to the NBA championship in 1977 and was selected as the NBA Finals MVP and the league’s MVP in the 1977-78 season, despite playing only 58 of 82 regular-season games.

Walton signed a seven-year, $7 million contract with the then-San Diego Clippers in 1979 after missing the previous season because of a foot injury. He played only 14 games for the Clippers in his first season with the team after re-fracturing the navicular bone in the fourth 1979 exhibition game. He missed all of the 1980-81 and 1981-82 seasons, undergoing several surgeries on his injured foot.

Walton resumed playing in the 1982-83 season, playing in 33 games. He remained with the Clippers through the 1984-85 season, their first in Los Angeles,

then was traded to the Boston Celtics.

Walton played a career-high 80 games for the Celtics in the 1986-87 season and received the Sixth Man of the Year Award, helping Boston to the NBA title. Another injury limited him to 10 games the following season.

Walton overcame a stutter to become an Emmy-winning broadcaster. He began his broadcasting career in 1990 as an analyst on Clippers’ telecasts, working alongside longtime playby-play broadcaster Ralph Lawler.

“I never had a better friend and there are hundreds of others who feel the same way,” Lawler wrote on Facebook. “He leaves a giant hole in our hearts.”

Walton was also an analyst for CBS, ESPN, ABC and the Pac-12 Networks, winning a Sports Emmy for best live television sports telecast in 1991 and being selected as one of the top 50 sports broadcasters of all-time by the American Sportscasters Association in 2009.

“Bill often described himself as ‘the luckiest guy in the world,’ but anyone who had the opportunity to interact with Bill was the lucky one,” ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro said in a statement. “He was a truly special, giving person who always made time for others.”

Walton’s other honors included selection to the Basketball Hall of Fame and the NBA’s 50th and 75th Anniversary Teams.

“Bill Walton was truly one of a kind,’’ NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. “As a Hall of Fame player, he redefined the center position. Bill then translated his infectious enthusiasm and love for the

game to broadcasting, where he delivered insightful and colorful commentary which entertained generations of basketball fans.

“But what I will remember most about him was his zest for life. I treasured our close friendship, envied his boundless energy and admired the time he took with every person he encountered.”

Fellow UCLA star and Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar posted on X, “Today I had to say goodbye

AWaltonto a great friend that I will always miss. The world feels so much heavier now. On the court, Bill was a fierce player, but off the court, he wasn’t happy unless he did everything he could to make everyone around him happy.

“He was the best of us.”

Walton was also a devoted fan of the rock band Grateful Dead, attending more than 850 of their concerts, beginning in 1967 when he was in high school, and occasionally playing drums with them, including

at their 1978 performance before the Pyramids in Egypt.

Walton is survived by his wife Lori and sons Adam, Chris, Nate and Luke.

Walton considered himself a lifelong San Diegan and had lived in the same home near Balboa Park for over 40 years, NBC San Diego reported.

“I love San Diego — this is the greatest place on Earth,” Walton told the California Now blog in 2020.

“It’s a welcoming city with dizzying possibilities and anything and everything that you could want.”

San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria called Walton “a towering figure in basketball and broadcasting as well as

a civic icon who loved his hometown.’’

In recent years, Walton had publicly criticized the city government for its response to the growing number of homeless people in the city.

In a September 2022 news conference, Walton issued a scathing rebuke of Gloria regarding the problem, calling him a “failed mayor” and asking that he step aside to make way for different leadership.

“Paradise Lost: This is the city of San Diego, a once great city,’’ Walton said during the Sept. 27 conference. “Sadly, and with a broken heart, I can no longer claim San Diego is the greatest place on Earth.”

was one of one, now he’s gone

somber day grew darker on Monday with the news of Bill Walton passing away.

While in the midst of saluting our military heroes who gave their lives on Memorial Day, Walton, 71, succumbed to cancer.

The news was jarring and unexpected.

It landed heavily on those who knew him well, or who knew him through his Hall of Fame basketball career, his broadcasting or who had danced with him at concerts. Walton stood tall in his tie-dye shirts when rocking out to the Grateful Dead.

I was lucky when my path first crossed with Walton’s in 1979. The hand of fate allowed a green sportswriter from the Fullerton College student newspaper to collide with someone larger than life.

Like many of my peers in Southern California, I grew up idolizing Walton when he was at UCLA. He directed the Bruins to two national titles and an 88-game winning streak

during a stellar run when the team was referred to as the “Walton Gang.”

I stayed up late to watch coach John Wooden conduct excellence, with Walton being the force around which everyone else revolved.

In the mid-1970s, UCLA’s games were tape-delayed until 11:30 p.m., which meant late nights with Walton were a staple on KTLA, with Dick Enberg doing the play-by-play.

So when a wet-behindthe-ears sportswriter (me) introduced himself to Wal-

ton and requested an interview, his response and enthusiasm never faded.

He couldn’t have been more agreeable, sociable or accommodating to a nervous rookie who was way over his journalistic skis.

That awkward introduction by me started a 45year friendship, and wow, what a long, strange trip it’s been.

That it’s over doesn’t seem possible. Walton’s zest for life was unrivaled. He lived like he would die tomorrow but he learned like he would

live forever. I can’t think of a subject in which Walton, a three-time Academic All-American at UCLA, wasn’t versed.

There were always a handful of books on his nightstand on various subjects begging for his attention. A voracious reader, thanks to his late mom, Gloria, who was a librarian, their shared love for literature was as stark as Walton’s bushy red hair.

We arranged for the noon interview at Delaney’s, a restaurant in Newport Beach. Of course, I arrived early, and Walton didn’t arrive at all!

Maybe it was a succinct lesson for a budding reporter that not all superstars were true to their word. I was surprised, of course, that Walton had pulled such a stunt, considering how pleasant he was in our first encounter.

As the lunch hour evaporated, ditto my expectations of scoring my first “big” interview.

City opens new La Colonia playground

By Laura Place SOLANA BEACH —

After several years of planning and six months of construction, the City of Solana Beach officially opened the new tot lot at La Colonia Park on Wednesday to crowds of excited kids.

The approximately $436,000 project included a total replacement of the playground equipment at the beloved park, including a new rubberized surface, a net climber, two struc-

tures for younger and older children, three slides, a tire swing, and a swing set.

Lisa Montes, Solana Beach Heritage Museum curator and Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society board member, said the replacement of the deteriorated playground equipment was an important project for the families in the historic La Colonia neighborhood.

“Our kids really wanted this … It needed to be reno-

vated and rebuilt. It was really old,” said Lisa Montes. “We’re excited that the city really took this on and really consulted with the community for input.”

City officials cut the ribbon for the new playground on Wednesday afternoon with the help of siblings Bailey and Elyse Villasenor, both seventh-generation La Colonia residents.

“I actually asked to put in the swings. It didn’t have swings and I think a lot of

people wanted that, too,” said Bailey, age 8.

Bailey’s cousin Zara Villasenor, 8, said she likes that that new playground has equipment for different ages.

“I really like all the colors and new things. It used to be more for the bigger kids, but now I think my little sister would like it,” Zara said.

This is the city’s second tot lot refurbishment project in the past year, after

completing a $400,000 upgrade to the playground and basketball court at Fletcher Cove last July.

The La Colonia playground also features improved drainage, picnic tables, a seating wall along the perimeter, as well as some accessible features for children in wheelchairs.

“The playground is designed to be inclusive and accessible for children of all abilities,” said Mayor Lesa Heebner.

Cubs released into wild

By City News Service

REGION — Two California black bear cubs are back in the wild after spending 10 months growing up at San Diego Humane Society’s Ramona Wildlife Center.

The bears, who are brothers, were released by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in the San Bernardino National Forest in midMay, near where they were first found.

In July 2023, CDFW began tracking the cubs once they located the bears’ deceased mother. At 5 months old, the cubs would have been too young to survive on their own, a statement from the SDHS said.

Black bear cubs typically need to stay with their mother, or sow, for up to 17 months. The first cub was rescued by CDFW on July 4, 2023, and the second, smaller cub, on July 7, 2023. Since those dates, San Diego Humane Society’s wildlife rehab specialists have watched over the bears with minimal contact to ensure they would not become habituated to humans, the statement continues.

sought funding from programs like No Place Like Home.

Housing and Homeless Services Director Mandy Mills assured the City Council that such programs would only seek those funding models if they served special populations like those experiencing homelessness, which is not true for the Chestnut Avenue property.

“This is a straightforward, affordable housing complex with existing

we want to serve the people currently living there, so there’s no need to seek that funding.”

For some, including Burkholder, this was good news.

“I could not physically take — probably mentally at this point — another Windsor Pointe, so it makes me feel good to know this is affordable and we can market it as affordable,” she said.

Burkholder and Mayor Keith Blackburn also praised Megison and expressed their shared frustration and disappointment with the Housing First ap

According to the humane society, they were fed plenty of fruits, vegetables, nuts, peanut butter and bear chow daily. Once the bears showed they could successfully forage for food and survive on their own, they were ready for release.

“Bears eat more than 10 pounds of food per day, so to ensure they are fed without our staff ever being seen, and that they have plenty of enrichment to exhibit their natural behaviors without leaving human scents behind, takes meticulous planning,” said Andy Blue, campus director of San Diego Humane Society’s Ramona Wildlife Center.

The bears have been microchipped, fitted with GPS collars and given a clean bill of health.

Vista Strawberry Festival a fruitful affair

By Laura Place VISTA

city celebrated the 2024 Strawberry Festival with strawberry-themed contests, races, treats, vendors, games and more.

The 13th annual festival, organized by the Vista Chamber of Commerce, shut down Broadway and Indiana avenues between South Santa Fe and Citrus avenues to accommodate thousands of pedestrians who came to enjoy the fun.

“Overall, we had close to 100,000 attendees enjoying a jam-packed day of fun in the sun in downtown Vista for the fest,” said Rachel Beld, CEO of Vista’s Chamber of Commerce. “It turned out to be one of our ‘berry’ best fests ever.”

Festivities kicked off at 7:30 a.m. with a sea of runners dressed in red for the Strawberry Run 5K and kids’ half-mile and mile runs at Vista Magnet Middle School. Beld said the run set an attendance record with 2,600 participants.

As music played on the main stage, costume contests, including the Little Miss Strawberry Shortcake contest, also took place throughout the day to give awards to those dressed in their strawberry best. The Strawberry Court, including this year’s Strawberry Queen, Yvon Nguyen, oversaw the festivities.

nity outreach efforts,” said Frazier Farms spokesperson Jazmin Zapata. “Our involvement in the Vista Strawberry Festival underscores our commitment to community engagement and support, and we look forward to continuing this tradition in the years to come.”

Beld thanked the community and event sponsors for supporting this year’s festival.

North County natural grocer Frazier Farms also returned this year as the official supplier of strawberries for the festival, selling over 11,500 pounds of strawberries along with

tons of berry-based baked goods and lemonade.

Frazier Farms also provided berries for the 5K runners and the pie-eating contest and donated 70 flats of berries to local nonprofits,

including Vista Pop Warner, the North County African American Women's Association, Feeding Freedom, and Solutions for Change.

“The Vista Strawberry Fest represents a key op-

portunity for us to engage with and support the Vista community, a place we hold dear. We've been proud participants in the festival for many years, seeing it as a cornerstone of our commu-

“The only way to bring a festival of this size to fruition is to collaborate with amazing partners. We greatly appreciate the support of the City of Vista, the Vista School District, as well as our partnership with In Motion Events and City Gates Events. We’re already looking forward to 2025,” Beld said.

Belly Up celebrates 50 years of music history

By Laura PLace SOLANA BEACH —

The San Diego region’s most iconic music venue is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year with a series of 50 special shows beginning in July.

David Hodges opened The Belly Up Tavern in 1974 as a small nightclub that featured reggae, roots, and blues music. Most of its patrons were college students who resided in the Del Mar area. The name was famously inspired by jokes from Hodge’s friends at the time, that the venue would fail and go “belly up.”

Over the years, the venue has become not only the focal point of Solana Beach’s Cedros Avenue Design District but a choice venue for touring artists in the pop, rock, country and indie genres, as well as music lovers of all ages in North County and beyond.

Belly Up Entertainment President Chris Goldsmith, himself a seven-time Grammy winner, said the anniversary is even more special when considering the challenges the venue faced at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I would say it's even more poignant, considering how three years ago,

we didn't know if we would ever reopen for a minute there. We also came out of that stronger than ever in a lot of ways,” Goldsmith said. ”We all realized how much we really like what we do.”

In recognition of its anniversary, Belly Up has announced 33 specialty shows in a 50-show series, with more to be announced soon. The festivities begin July 3 with an 80s Heat show with Bella Lux and end with The Wallflowers on Sept. 30.

During the series, attendees can also catch performances from Michael Franti & Spearhead, The Pine Mountain Logs, Kishi

A full list of shows and tickets is available online at bellyup.com/50years.

50 years of history

Even in its early days, Belly Up has been able to draw top blues and jazz talent such as Etta James and BB King, and in the years since, it has hosted some of the best-known names in music, including Blink-182, Green Day, Maroon 5, No Doubt, and the Black-Eyed Peas.

The 600-person venue has also made history by

hosting the Red Hot Chili Peppers (twice, with the first being to a crowd of 200 in 1985), the Rolling Stones in 2015, and Willie Nelson.

For Goldsmith, who worked at the tavern and nightclub for nearly two decades before becoming president, one of the most memorable performances was by Curtis Mayfield in 1990.

“To have him play the Belly Up at that time, as someone who was so inspiring to me, it was one of the best shows of my life. And just to be able to host him at our venue, it was amazing,” he recalled.

In many ways, Belly Up has been known as a place where many rising artists get their start. It has earned a reputation as an intimate venue with great audiences, quality sound and thoughtful hospitality from staff.

“I think they're always surprised at the level of hospitality we provide artists. We know how hard it is on the road,” Goldsmith said. “It has all the accommodations and hospitality of a larger venue, but it's a more intimate experience.”

Belly Up Entertainment continues to host shows at the Solana Beach venue most nights of the month while also managing their new 1,900-person venue, The Sound at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

The Sound opened in early 2023 under Belly Up management, with the intention of providing another mid-sized venue to serve

the San Diego community. The venue has seen multiple sold-out shows and acts like Ziggy Marley, STRFKR, Jason Mraz, The Flaming Lips, and Steve Aoki, several of whom have previously performed at the tavern.

“It’s a bright future, with the way things are rolling at the Belly Up and The Sound. We like what we’re doing,” Goldsmith said.

Hodges, who sold the venue in 2003 to Steven Goldberg and Phil Berkovitz, said he is proud of the continuing legacy of the little venue he opened 50 years ago.

“For me, it’s always been about family and community that Belly Up created all those years ago. Seeing its evolution, and being a part of so many people’s lives for so many years has been one of the high points of my life and legacy,” said Hodges.

Bashi, Shakey Graves, Alejandro Escovedo, Cracker, WAR and more.

Markham, Hall vineyards headline wine dinners

taste of wine

West End Bar & Kitchen and The Butcher Shop recently hosted wine dinners from two renowned Napa Valley wineries. The first was a Markham Winemaker Dinner with Kimberlee Nicholls at West End, and the second was a Hall Wine Dinner at The Butcher Shop.

As a brief history of Markham shows, Frenchman Jean Laurent left Bordeaux, France, in 1852 to join the California Gold Rush. He eventually established one of the Napa Valley’s first wineries. He founded the winery in 1874 and built an iconic stone cellar in 1879, which remains the heart of Markham Vineyards today.

By the end of the century, Laurent was a major figure in Napa’s wine industry and was known for adopting new technologies and equipment.

In the late 1970s, Arizona businessman Bruce Markham invested in 230 acres of vineyards, a bungalow, and Laurent’s old stone cellar, coinciding with Napa Valley’s rising fame from the “Judgment of Paris.”

Winemaker Bryan Del Bondio’s 42-year tenure earned a stellar reputation for the winery, which produced its first vintage of Markham Cabernet Sauvignon in 1978 and Merlot in 1980. Wine Spectator named the 1990 Markham vintage “Merlot of the Year.”

Kimberlee Nicholls was hired as an enologist in 1993 and then became head winemaker in 2001, one of Napa Valley’s first female head winemakers. Her 30plus years of experience and love of merlot contribute to Markham’s enduring legacy and numerous accolades.

Nicholls is part of Markham’s Girl Power Dream Team. The other key players are Abigail Estrada, assistant winemaker; Patricia Sciacca, enologist; Taylor Abudi, viticulturist; and Adrienne Uboldi, director of operations.

Chef Brian Gist prepared a powerhouse menu for the evening, starting with pan-seared sea scallops and the 2018 Argyle Brut sparkling wine, created in the Willamette Valley AVA in Oregon. The Brut was chardonnay and pinot noir dominant, with a splash of pinot meunier.

Argyle is a sister brand to Markham within the Distinguished Vineyard Distributor family. The second course was an endive salad topped with fried goat cheese served with 2022 Markham Sauvignon Blanc (100%).

The stainless steel fermentation and four months of stainless steel aging created a crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc with grapefruit and a hint of lime on the palate. For the third course, Gist had duck prosciutto with a flavorful dark cherry risotto and a 2019 Markham Merlot. Merlot put Markham on the map as a Napa Valley player. For the main course, Gist had espresso-rubbed New York steak with crispy oven-roasted Brussels sprouts. Both were topped with a dynamite bacon jam, taking them to the next level, especially when paired with 2019 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon blended with Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Cab Franc.

Nicholls spoiled guests with premium 2017 The Character Estate Vineyard Bordeaux. Of the 6,000 barrels of wine in Markham’s cellar, only 10 made the cut to produce mind-blowing The Character, a merlot-dominant blend (94%) from their Yountville estate. See more information on Markham at markhamvineyards.com.

Hall Vineyards

The second part of this column features superstar Kathryn Hall, her Hall wine brand and associated brands Walt and Baca that were served during a Butcher Shop wine dinner. First, here is a bit of background on Hall. Kathryn Walt Hall, along with her husband Craig Hall, owns HALL, WALT, and BACA Wine labels. Kathryn

has been actively involved in the California wine industry since her family first purchased a vineyard in 1972.

In the 1990s, Hall worked as an attorney and businesswoman in Dallas, Texas, where she was president of an inner-city development company and partner of HALL Group, where she met her husband Craig. She was appointed and served as the United States Ambassador to Austria from 1997-2001. She is a New York Times best-selling author for her book, “A Perfect Score.” It’s also noteworthy that Megan Gunderson, a woman, leads the Hall Winery winemaking team, with Alison Frichtl as her assistant.

Just as in the case of the Markham Wine Dinner, Gist served guests a delicious five-course dinner. The dinner started with salmon tartar with pickled red onion and toasted points, paired with 2022 Hall Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The stainless steel fermentation produced a bright palate with citrus notes that melded nicely with the tartar.

The second course was pan-seared sea bass with creamed spinach in a citrus brown butter garnished with diced pear, served with 2020 Walt Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. The aromatic nose with vanilla, pear, and lemon and smooth palate with 25% new French oak were perfect with the sea bass and citrus brown butter. For the third course, Gist served a red wine bucatini dish with a perfect lamb

meatball.

Boiling the bucatini in a red wine/water solution produced red noodles. This was paired with a 2021 Walt Sonoma County La Brisa Pinot Noir.

For the main course, guests were served cocoa-rubbed dry-aged New York Strip steak with wild mushroom risotto and roasted Brussels sprouts. This was paired with a sideby-side comparison of 2020

Hall Cabernet Sauvignon vs flagship 2020 Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon that earned a Robert Parker 100-point score for the 2016 vintage.

The Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon blended with Cab Franc and Merlot, aged in 70% new French oak for 26 months, was a superstar and beautiful pairing for the main course. Jennifer Brown, Kathryn’s daughter, oversaw the pairing of the

2019 Baca Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel with vanilla bean gelato and spiced red wine blackberry syrup. See more information on Hall at hallwines.com.

In summary, two excellent wine dinners with Napa Valley Girl Power Markham and Hall Wineries.

Adding color to your garden

When I think of color in the garden, I always turn to my books about Claude Monet.

Not only was he the foremost Impressionist painter of his time, but his garden in Giverny, France, is still maintained as a showpiece for the premier example of the ultimate color garden.

He planted his gardens according to the theory of Michel-Eugene Chevreul, who published the first color wheel.

Chevreul explained that opposites on the color wheel make the best contrasts and that the combination of two or more colors could produce the effect of a separate color when viewed from a distance.

CHOOSING COLORS

WISELY

On the west side of his flower garden, Monet planted hot colors — bright yellow, orange and scarlet — that were intensified by the warm rays of the setting sun.

The “Sunset Garden,” as it was called, encouraged visitors to linger and watch the brilliant colors reflect in the sunset.

According to Derek Fell's "Secrets of Monet's Garden," art critic and Giverny garden visitor Octave Mirbeau observed: “Flowers in hot colors are absolutely brilliant positioned in sunny spots. Nasturtiums in all colors and saffron-colored wallflowers collapse in blinding ruins on both sides of the sandy pathway…

“In the wide flower beds surges the surprising magic of the poppies while the purple iris brightens the borders.”

The combination of the brilliant orange and dark purple in Monet's garden reflect the theory of the color wheel that using opposites on the color wheel create a stunning effect.

A COLOR BONANZA IN YOUR GARDEN

Using the same theory of color opposites, we can create an orange and purple sunset garden here in Southern California.

In our North County climate, we are blessed with almost wild hemerocallis, or as we fondly call them, tiger lilies, which can be found in and around many backyards and public buildings. They

grow quickly and can be divided between friends and neighbors.

These lilies are available as starter lilies (in bags) or full grown in 5-gallon pots from the garden center.

An equally fiery display can be found in the wide selection of gerber daisies, now available at our favorite garden shops.

These multicolored gems are perfect to plant in your border garden or in large terra cotta pots and can be cut weekly to bring indoors as cut flowers.

Don’t forget nasturtium, Monet’s favorite border flower, which can be planted from seed or as seedlings. Just remember, they do reseed, so place them in a spot where they can roam freely.

OPPOSITES ATTRACT FOR FINISHING TOUCH

Choose a purple, blue or mauve backdrop to your sunset garden with salvia, or purple sage, which adds the Prussian blue foliage to the brilliant yellow-orange display. The combination will make your neighbors stop in their tracks to view the perfect light at sunset.

BUILD YOUR GARDEN AROUND THE LIGHT

If you observe your garden at various times of the day, you will notice how the light affects your plants.

The plants on the east side of Monet’s garden were dominated by cool colors: light pink, purple mauve and pale yellow. The cool light of the rising sun sharpened

RAIN,

these colors, producing a beautifully soothing effect, known as the “Sunrise Borders.”

SEARCH FOR THE COOL COLORS

If you frequent a garden center, ask the staff to point you in the direction of blue and white plants.

Fill your cart with blue delphinium, lavender larkspur and purple sage and highlight with bright white daisy, foxglove and artemisia with a backdrop of green lamb’s ear.

Place them together on your cart to see if you have achieved the effect you desire, then go home and plant.

RESOURCES APLENTY

I cannot say enough

about the multitude of resources available in bookstores and local libraries available to excite your garden planting designs.

I highly recommend the foremost book on the planning and executing a Monet-inspired garden, “Monet’s Passion,” by Elizabeth Murray (elizabethmurray.com).

Murray not only wrote the book on Monet, she also lived and worked at Giverny as a gardener.

Jano Nightingale is a horticulturist who loves to research famous gardens. She teaches vegetable gardening at the Carlsbad Senior Center Community Garden. Contact her for upcoming classes at janosgarden@gmail.com.

CITY OF ENCINITAS

PUBLIC NOTICE OF ORDINANCE ADOPTION ORDINANCE NO. 2024-07

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Encinitas has adopted Ordinance No. 2024-07 titled “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Encinitas, California, Setting Capacity Fees and Escalator for Cardi Sanitary Division (CSD) and Encinitas Sanitary Division (ESD) and to Amend Encinitas Municipal Code Section 18.08.025.”

Capacity fees are one-time fees typically paid when applying for new or increased service and are imposed on development projects by local agencies. The purpose of a capacity fee is to ensure that growth in the number of customers served will pay for itself, without excessive burdens on existing customers. These fees represent equitable cost sharing with other system users who previously paid to establish and expand the system and/ or will in the future. Capacity fees are assessed per served structure based on assigned EDUs: a unit of measure that approximates the sewer use of an average single-family residence. Currently, there are 21 customer billing classi cations, each with a unique EDU capacity value. Updated capacity fees are based solely on system facilities values and system capacity (based on the current Sewer Master Plan). Sewer capacity fees thus represent a capital buy-in of sorts that replenishes cash used to purchase and maintain system assets and provides funding toward full system buildout.

Proposed Ordinance No. 2024-07 updates the sewer capacity fees and escalator for both CSD and ESD and amends Encinitas Municipal Code Section 18.08.025 as recommended by Ardurra, the City’s sewer rate consultant, to include the following language:

“C. Exceptions. The City Engineer shall exercise their professional judgement and discretion to determine and assign EDUs for Wastewater Discharge Permits, or modi cations thereto, to assess the Sewer Connection/Capacity Fee for structures, and/ or uses, and/or combinations thereof not otherwise speci ed in §18.08.025.”

Ordinance 2024-07 was introduced at the Regular City Council meeting held on May 8, 2024, and adopted at the Regular City Council meeting held on May 22, 2024, by the following vote: AYES: Blackwell, Ehlers, Hinze, Kranz, Lyndes; NAYS: None; ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: None. The Ordinance is on le in the o ce of the City Clerk, 505 South Vulcan Avenue and may be viewed between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act/Section 504 Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title VI, this agency is an equal opportunity public entity and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, religion, veteran status or physical or mental disability in employment or the provision of service. /Kathy Hollywood, City Clerk

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Carlsbad City Council will hold a public hearing at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at the Council Chamber, 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, California, to consider removing or revising two improvement projects from the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which were previously identi ed as not meeting a Level of Service (LOS) D performance standard under General Plan Mobility Element Policy 3-P.9 and the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan (CFIP) circulation performance standard (City Council Resolution No. 2019-270), and removing the associated de ciency declaration. The rst project is no longer required because the segment now operates at LOS B. The second project is being revised because it would still operate at an unacceptable LOS E or worse, and the excessive costs would result in only minor improvements to vehicle delay. The modi ed project will provide a comparable improvement in vehicle delay and can be accomplished with roadway restriping and signal timing changes, which can be implemented more quickly and at a lower cost.

The City Council will also consider recommendations from the Tra c Safety & Mobility Commission made at their public hearing held on June 3, 2024, where the two projects were recommended for removal or revision from the Capital Improvement Program. The City Council may also remove the associated de ciency declaration pursuant to General Plan Mobility Element Policy 3-P.9, along with the adoption of CEQA Exemptions.

Those persons wishing to speak on this item are cordially invited to attend the public hearing. If you have any questions, please contact Nathan Schmidt in the Transportation Department of the Public Works Branch at 442-339-2734 or nathan.schmidt@carlsbadca. gov. Copies of the sta report will be available by Friday, June 7, 2024, on the city’s website: https://www.carlsbadca.gov/city-hall/meetings-agendas. The meeting can be viewed online at https://www.carlsbadca.gov/city-hall/meetings-agendas or on the City’s cable channel. In addition, written comments may be submitted to the City Council at or prior to the hearing via U.S. Mail to the attention of O ce of the City Clerk, 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, CA 92008, or via email to clerk@carlsbadca.gov

Notice of Intent to Circulate Petition

Notice is hereby given by the persons whose names appear hereon of their intention to circulate the petition within the City of Del Mar for the purpose of amending and extending the established retail pet sales ban to extend the ban beyond dogs, cats and rabbits to encompass all animals. A statement of the reasons of the proposed action as contemplated in the petition is as follows:

Every year, animals, such as turtles, lizards, snakes, parrots, and otters, are removed from their natural habitats or bred intensively in captivity to be sold as pets. This trade of capturing and breeding animals for domestic use in icts immense su ering on millions of creatures and devastates the biodiversity of our wildlife. Whether legal or illegal, the outcome remains consistent: the relentless anguish of innocent beings.

Virtually all animals supplied to pet stores originate from either wildlife importing companies or mills where animals are bred with scant regard for their welfare. In both kinds of facilities, veterinary care is often inadequate or entirely absent, and sanitation standards are subpar. Some reptile and amphibian mills house thousands of animals at once, leading to overcrowding that forces these creatures to compete ercely for limited resources, resulting in fatal injuries. Sadly, sick and dead animals are merely viewed as a normal cost of conducting business.

This petition seeks to promote a more compassionate and responsible approach to animal care, while simultaneously safeguarding animal welfare and preserving our natural environment. The petitions aims to:

1. Establish Comprehensive Animal Welfare: Extending the ban to cover all animals ensures a holistic approach to animal welfare, safeguarding against potential exploitation and mistreatment of any species sold as companion animals.

2. Align with Ethical Standards: Extending the ban re ects evolving societal attitudes towards animal rights and welfare, aligning with ethical considerations that prioritize the well-being of all sentient beings, particularly those that are vulnerable.

3. Promote Adoption: By restricting the sale of companion animals to adoption centers and shelters, the amendment encourages prospective companion animals guardians to consider adopting animals in need of homes, thereby reducing the number of animals euthanized due to overpopulation.

4. Protect Local Wildlife: The ban extension serves to protect indigenous wildlife populations from potential harm that may arise from the introduction of non-native species into the ecosystem.

Title and Summary Prepared by the Del Mar City Attorney, Leslie E. Devaney:

Ballot Title:

Amend Chapter 4.09 of the Del Mar Municipal Code to Regulate the Retail Sale of Arachnids, Birds, Mammals, Amphibians, Reptiles, and Fish in the City of Del Mar

Summary:

The ordinance proposed by initiative petition would amend existing provisions under Chapter 4.09 of the Del Mar Municipal Code relating to the retail sale of dogs, cats and rabbits in the City of Del Mar to include additional animal classes, namely arachnids, birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and sh.

Proposed revisions to the Municipal Code include changing the title of Chapter 4.09 from “Retail Sale of Dogs, Cats and Rabbits” to “Retail Sale of Arachnids, Birds, Mammals, Amphibians, Reptiles, and Fish”. The ordinance also proposes replacing references to “dogs, cats and rabbits” within Chapter 4.09 to “arachnids, birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and sh”. This includes references under the following sections: Section 4.09.010 (Purpose), Section 4.09.020 (De nitions), Section 4.09.030 (Prohibition of the Sale), and 4.09.040 (Exemptions).

As described, the purpose of the ordinance would be to promote animal welfare and encourage best practices in the breeding and purchasing of arachnids, birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and sh, if o ered for retail sale in the City.

The ordinance would make it unlawful for any person to display, o er for sale, deliver, barter, auction, give away, transfer, or sell any live arachnid, bird, mammal, amphibian, reptile, or sh in any pet shop, retail business or other commercial establishment in the City, unless the arachnid, bird, mammal, amphibian, reptile, or sh was obtained from a city or county animal shelter or animal control agency, a humane society, or a non-pro t rescue organization. The ordinance would further require all pet shops, retail businesses, and commercial establishments selling arachnids, birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, or sh to maintain a certi cate of source for each animal o ered for sale and make it available upon request to animal control o cers, law enforcement, code enforcement o cials, or any other City employee charged with enforcing the provisions of Chapter 4.09. A certi cate of source would be de ned as a document from the city or county animal shelter or animal control agency, humane society, or non-pro t rescue organization declaring the source of the arachnid, bird, mammal, amphibian, reptile, or sh. Compliance with these provisions is already required for the retail sale of dogs, cats and rabbits in the City, but under said ordinance, would extend to the retail sale of arachnids, birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and sh in the City.

The ordinance would expressly exempt the display, o ering for sale, delivery, bartering, auction, giving away, transfer, or sale of arachnids, birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, or sh from the premises on which they were born and reared. The ordinance would not apply to a publicly-operated animal shelter, nonpro t animal humane society, or nonpro t animal rescue organization that operates out of or in connection with a pet store, which has received City approval to display, o er for sale, deliver, barter, auction, give away, transfer, or sell arachnids, birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, or sh, on a nding by the City Manager that the exemption is consistent with the intent and purpose of Chapter 4.09, which approval would be subject to appeal to the City Council.

County gas prices continue to drop

By City News Service

REGION

— The average price of a gallon of selfserve regular gasoline in San Diego County dropped Wednesday for the 15th time in 16 days, decreasing 1.2 cents to $5.089, its lowest amount since March 29.

The average price has dropped 18 cents over the past 16 days, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. It dropped 13 consecutive days, rose one-tenth of a cent Monday and resumed decreasing Tuesday.

The average price is 6.8 cents less than one week

ago and 26.5 cents lower than one month ago but 19.6 cents more than one year ago. It has dropped $1.346 since rising to a record $6.435 on Oct. 5, 2022.

The national average price dropped for the sixth consecutive day, decreasing 1.1 cents to $3.575. It has dropped 4 cents over the past six days following three increases totaling 2.5 cents. It is 3.6 cents less than one week ago, 8.4 cents lower than one month ago and seven-tenths of a cent below what it was one year ago.

The national average

price has dropped $1.441 since rising to a record $5.016 on June 14, 2022.

“With the summer driving season now underway, average gas prices have seen ups in some areas and downs in others,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, which provides real-time gas price information from more than 150,000 stations.

“Most states are seeing prices slightly below their 2024 peak thus far ... while other areas, like the West Coast, have seen notable relief with more coming.”

tle to protect families and homes from burglaries and theft. On that front, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department has been sending fliers to atrisk households, encouraging people to up their security.

“The key is making your house look like there’s someone there at all times,” said Sheriff’s Det. Heather Aguirre.

Aguirre noted that law enforcement agencies in Encinitas and Carls-

bad are working together to help keep properties and property owners safe. Residents are urged to lock all their doors, install surveillance cameras with multiple angles, including backdoor coverage, and add floodlights.

Other measures include:

• Installing surveillance cameras inside your home, such as hallways and living spaces

• Equipping outdoor lights with timers

• Installing security screens on glass windows

• Bolting down safes

to the ground and putting tracking devices in smaller safes that can’t be secured

• Request home information to be taken off websites

• Ask the sheriff’s office for safety tips on how to protect your home while on vacation

The sheriff’s department is also launching the Safe Cities program, allowing homeowners and businesses to register their security devices (Ring cameras, etc.) with law enforcement, who can access and review video footage if a crime is committed.

my distress and disappointment, noting that I was at Delaney’s Fish Market, with a quaint take-out counter, not the restaurant across Newport Harbor. I raced over to see Walton leaving. He had been waiting an hour-plus for me, and now he was changing his plans to spend another hour with me. I was grateful, but we had yet to click on our musical tastes.

Walton was singing the praises of the Grateful Dead, but I had yet to become a convert. He arranged for a backstage pass at their 1979 concert at the San Diego Civic Auditorium, and from there, Dead Head Nation grew by one.

Walton and his wife, Lori, were the constants at every Dead show I attended. He never failed to let me ride his coattails, assuring me that there was always an open seat behind him.

With Walton being 6-foot-11, why would someone sit/stand behind him? Me?

I danced enough that Walton never interfered with my vision. Instead, the sight of him holding out his outstretched arms as if receiving an entry pass into the low post when the chorus would hum was a blessing.

I’m unsure why we hit it off, but there were connections. His mom, a librarian, and mine, Jean, an English teacher, shared their love of books. His dad, Ted, was a social worker and musician; the same was true of my fa-

ther, Jack.

When we discovered Walton and my dad shared the same birthday, Nov. 5, it just seemed, for whatever reason, we were destined to be friends.

Friends helped each other, and Walton never failed to assist, maybe even when he couldn’t. My son, Phil, dreamed of going to UCLA, but despite Walton’s statue in Westwood, graduates are not allowed to aid in the admission of a friend’s offspring.

One guesses that is true. But we were also thrilled when Phil was admitted, and for whatever reason, we’ll never know.

What I discovered from Walton, among other things, is a line borrowed from his favorite band. “Once in a while, you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.”

Walton was the eternal optimist, always seeing the best in people he encountered. He was accepting, gracious and passionate, and his thirst for knowledge was unquenchable.

Now he’s gone, and nothing’s going to bring him back. But Walton’s exit has a lasting impact on that rookie sportswriter from Fullerton College and millions of others who are not as fortunate to call him a friend.

I’m borrowing a phrase that Walton embraced, and I’m sure he wouldn’t balk.

Knowing him for fourplus decades allows me to say I consider myself the luckiest guy in the world.

irony there,” Allison said.

concerns that we as residents have the right to voice and address within our City Council,” said Denisse Barragan, a resident and City Council District 3 candidate.

“We cannot allow the county to decide on a project of this magnitude without our input and consent.”

The 110-acre portion of the property that is up for sale currently houses a summer camp and retreat center, an RV park, and a residential men’s recovery program operated by Green Oak Ranch Ministries.

Karen Allison said she and her family of five are among 30 low-income families living in the RV park. She emphasized that the county’s proposal would cause them to be displaced. Moving into the RV park brought her family out of homelessness eight years ago.

“We find it unthinkable and unacceptable that we would all stand to be practically made homeless — in my family’s case, again — in an effort to provide homes for other homeless people. There’s a bitter

While city officials have not shared details about their potential plans for Green Oak Ranch, residents said they would like to see it used to provide more sports opportunities for youth, particularly Vista Little League, or to serve as a training facility for the Vista Fire Department.

Stacey Sills of Vista Little League said they had to turn away around 50 kids this past year because of their limited space and capacity.

“Our ball fields are at their limits. We’re maxed on the number of teams, practices, and games that we can accommodate,” Sills said.

Others said they support Green Oak Ranch Ministries’ existing sober living program and noted that the ministry would lose 85% of its funding if the summer camp and retreat center were closed.

“Green Oak Ranch currently does it the right way,” said resident Tim Troncone.

Meanwhile, Solutions for Change is also negotiating with ranch owners, with plans to expand their Solutions Academy programs with additional housing and workforce development training for homeless individuals and families.

The Coast News has contacted the real estate company managing the Green Oak Ranch sale for comment.

Join Give Humane to save San Diego’s pets

San Diego Humane Society is committed to creating a more humane world for animals and the people who love them. It’s this commitment that guides the organization’s lifesaving work and makes it possible for them to provide compassionate care to more than 40,000 pets and wildlife every year. But this work hinges on the community’s support, and this year that support is especially essential.

With record numbers of animals entering their care and more pet families relying on their services than ever before, the nonprofit’s annual day of giving, this year on June 27, comes at a crucial time.

Give Humane: San Diego Humane Society’s Day of Giving is a fundraising movement that unites our entire community to make an impact for animals in need. With the shelter’s busiest season fast approaching, participating in Give Humane means you will be helping San Diego Humane Society stay at zero euthanasia of healthy or treatable shelter pets and give second chances to every animal in need of care.

Plus, Dr. Charles and Mrs. Carol Baum have generously offered to match all donations received before June 27 up to $50,000, with additional matching gifts being released on the big

day.

“Our community’s support is critical to helping us save lives and care for the increasing number of animals depending on us for help,” said Brian Daugherty, Executive Vice President at San Diego Humane Society. “This generous matching gift makes Give Humane an amazing opportunity for our entire community to get involved because every donation goes even further to support our work.”

You can contribute to the Give Humane campaign in many ways:

• Donate. Giving by June 27, 2024 ensures your

gift will be matched dollar for dollar up to $50,000, doubling your impact.

• Fundraise. You can create your own Facebook fundraiser for San Diego Humane Society, and Purina will match all funds raised up to $15,000.

• Shop with purpose. Purchase limited-edition swag and buy from businesses that are donating a portion of proceeds to Give Humane. Every purchase makes a difference!

• Partner. Your business can become an official Give Humane partner.

• Share. Spread the word on social media by

using the hashtag #givehumane. Every dollar donated through Give Humane provides animals in our community with safe shelter, lifesaving veterinary care, behavior and training support, protection from cruelty and neglect and so much more.
