Judge vetoes SB 9

Ruling backs SoCal cities in housing suit

By Laura Place

DEL MAR — Senate Bill 9’s mandate for cities to allow lot splits in single-family residential zones is not reasonably related to the production of affordable housing, interferes with local government, and is, therefore, unconstitutional, according to a ruling issued in Los Angeles County Superior Court this week.

The cities of Del Mar, Redondo Beach, Carson, Torrance, and Whittier sued the state of California in 2022, arguing that SB 9 was invalid because it infringed on charter cities’ rights to run and manage their municipal affairs and failed to ensure the creation of affordable housing.

On April 22, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Curtis A. Kin ruled in favor of the cities.

SB 9, which went into effect in 2022, mandates that municipalities ministerially approve the creation of two primary dwelling units on a single-family lot and urban lot splits, or the subdivision of lots zoned for a single dwelling, into two parcels.

While the state has touted the bill as another means of creating affordable housing, it has generated anxiety for cities, particularly smaller coastal en-

Ehlers to run for Encinitas mayor

By Claire Strong ENCINITAS —

Councilmember Bruce Ehlers has thrown his hat into the ring to become the next mayor of Encinitas.

The council’s District 4 representative told The Coast News he has filed the official paperwork needed to start the process. Ehlers will challenge incumbent Mayor Tony Kranz.

“I am running to return to the priorities that guided us since incorporation, preserve community character, provide reliable public services, ensure public safety and protect

the environment,” Ehlers said.

EHLERS

Ehlers is the principal author of Proposition A, a ballot initiative that gave Encinitas voters the final say on development proposals that fall outside parameters outlined in the city’s general plan.

Ehlers was also chairman of the city’s Planning Commission but was ousted in an effort led by Kranz and state Sen. Catherine

Blakespear, then mayor of Encinitas.

In a controversial yet unanimous vote, the council cited Ehlers’ public statements opposing city housing policies and his alleged association with a local group, Encinitas Residents for Responsible Development, as reasons for his dismissal.

Ehlers, an engineer and product development senior vice president for a security equipment company, has lived in Encinitas for over 40 years. He will officially launch his bid later this month.

Vista talks limits on homeless camps

By Laura Pace VISTA — The Vista

City Council has expressed interest in establishing new restrictions regarding homelessness encampments to prohibit individuals from setting up camp within certain distances of property, including schools, playgrounds and public waterways.

Vista Mayor John Franklin brought forward the discussion at the council’s April 23 meeting, stating that children and families need to be protected from individuals showing severe signs of drug addiction and mental illness at schools and on public property such as parks.

Franklin also argued that law enforcement needs additional tools to deal with “shelter-resistant” individuals who may not recognize that they need help.

As part of the discussion, the council reviewed the terms of the encampment ban implemented by the city of San Diego. The ban prohibits camping on public sidewalks and other areas regardless of whether shelter space is available and issues citations for violators.

Franklin emphasized that he is not interested in citing individuals if shelters are full, nor is it productive for homeless residents to rack up citations they cannot pay. Instead, he said the city attorney’s office should offer violators a diversionary route to a fine or jail time where they can instead obtain mental health and substance use treatment.

“Living outside when shelter is available and offered is evidence of men-

tal illness and disorder,” Franklin said.

“We could offer a diversionary agreement to an individual living unsheltered, who we have offered shelter to and they have declined, where we ask those people to participate in a rehabilitation or mental health program as a diversion to prosecution.”

After a lengthy and, at times, emotionally charged discussion, the City Council voted 4-1, with Corinna Contreras dissenting, to direct staff to begin drafting an ordinance and bring back the debate once the U.S. Supreme Court issues a decision in a case regarding encampment bans in Grants Pass, Oregon.

The Grants Pass case centers on whether cities should be able to fine or jail individuals for sleeping on public land when there is not adequate shelter space available. Franklin said he didn’t believe the Supreme Court decision would have a large bearing on a proposed local policy since the city is not proposing to cite individuals if shelter is available.

Other council members said they preferred to wait for the outcome of the Grants Pass decision — expected at the end of June — just to be safe and research the specifics of the proposed restrictions.

Council members who supported the motion said they generally supported banning encampments within two blocks of schools and shelters and a certain distance from playgrounds.

The proposed restric-

Encinitas OKs sewer rate hike

By Claire Strong ENCINITAS — Lo-

fund the city’s

million-dollar wastewater infrastructure improvement project.

The Encinitas City Council voted 5-0 in favor of steep rate hikes over the next five years during its April 24 meeting, marking the end of public consultation on the issue.

Three distinct wastewater districts — Encinitas and Cardiff sanitary divisions and Leucadia Wastewater District — serve the city.

Under the new rates, residents in the Encinitas Sanitary Division, which transports wastewater to the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility in Carlsbad for treatment, will see prices more than double over the next five years, rising from the current average single-family bill of $39.24 per month to $93.68. That’s an increase of up to 19%.

Customers serviced by the Cardiff Sanitary Division, utilizing the San Elijo Water Reclamation Facility, will have to pay up to 15% more over the next four years and up to 10% more in the fifth year, bringing the average bill from $47.13 monthly to $90.67.

ten protest votes to block the motion — 3,280 from Cardiff and 2,065 from Encinitas. During the meeting, however, the clerk reported just 30 written protest votes.

Local resident Sarah Tredow thinks the public should have been given more time to oppose the new rates.

“This is not the way to go,” Tredow said. “We want to fund this, but not this fast. It’s too much of our money going into the city’s pockets too fast.”

The Coast News first reported on the proposed rate hikes last December.

John Johnson has lived in Encinitas for 25 years. At last week’s meeting, he said things have gotten so expensive that he’s considering moving to Idaho.

“The cost to live here has steadily increased,” Johnson said. “A few months ago, it was water. Now we’re talking about sewers. Everything is going up, making the costs prohibitive. For a family moving into my neighborhood, the property tax alone is ungodly.”

But Councilmember Bruce Ehlers said they have been left with no choice but to raise prices.

“Because expenses have gone up so severely in

the last few years, with inflation, with the cost of asphalt going up and the cost of chemical treatment going up, we are almost forced into doing this,” Ehlers said.

The Poway-based engineering firm Ardurra is handling the improvements, which include rehabilitating the Olivenhain trunk sewer and Cardiff and Moonlight Beach pump stations, many of which were built in the 1960s.

The project will cost the city just over $4 million for the Cardiff Sanitation District and $9 million for the Encinitas Sanitation District.

To prevent the approval of the rate adjustments, the city clerk needed to receive a total of 5,345 valid writ-

Another point of contention was the lack of communication between the city and local residents. Only 4,128 homes in Encinitas received notices about the price hikes through the mail, and in Cardiff, that number was just 3,280 — a fact Tredow called “sketchy.”

Councilmember Kellie Hinze acknowledged the rate increases were a shock but explained it was necessary to ensure the area had adequate wastewater services.

“It’s hard to know the burden this is putting on small businesses and the residents of our city,” Hinze said. “But not taking this vote and not increasing the rates at this magnitude over the next 5 years, I think, would be really irresponsible.”

Deception behind the computer screen

By Summer Stephan

The average person believes they would never fall for a scam that would rob them of their life savings and their dignity, but the truth is that in San Diego County, deceptive schemes trick consumers into giving up banking, credit card information and other personal data every day, and it’s getting worse.

Bad actors often use sophisticated methods to mimic legitimate business-

tortion, identity theft and financial ruin.

Another relentless scam begins as a tech scam and quickly turns into a banking scam. Here are common ways this scam works:

• It starts with bad actors sending phony Microsoft pop-up ads warning that the user’s computer has been hacked.

tained funds. Couriers most commonly pick up money from victims and deliver it to another person in the network, or they convert the cash to cryptocurrency and send it out of the country. In most cases, once the money is sent by the victims, it cannot be recovered.

Qatari money and campus takeovers

The current spate of campus takeovers by pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli and often anti-Semitic protesters turns out to be neither an accident nor, for the most part, spontaneous.

This first became clear when demonstrators yelling “We Are Hamas” and “Gas the Jews” appeared on university campuses early on Oct. 8, the morning after the terrorist group’s surprise attack killed at least 1,200 Israeli Jews and kidnapped another 240, while also raping and mutilating an unknown number of others and burning hundreds of homes.

Those demonstrations were clearly pre-planned, coming a full week before Israel began its war on Gaza, from which the Hamas forces had come.

A stunned Israel had not yet taken revenge, but protesters behaved as if the Jewish nation had already bombed Gaza to smithereens.

ternational, expressed concerns over biased presentation of content in classes related to the Middle East. The group reported that Qatari money spurred positively skewed teaching about Islam while sidelining balanced discussions of other religions like Judaism and Christianity. Meanwhile, federal reports indicated that virtually all universities on the take from Qatar violated laws requiring them to disclose foreign donations, concealing unknown amounts of funding from oil-rich countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

Common phishing scams include:

• A delivery notice purporting to be from Amazon, UPS or FedEx saying a delivery is late or can’t be made.

• A utility shut-off message from SDG&E saying services are scheduled to be shut off.

• A computer pop-up or email message saying your anti-virus subscription, such as McAfee, has expired and must be renewed today.

• Pop-up ads purporting to be from Microsoft warning your computer has been hacked.

These scams trick innocent people into going to phony websites that look legitimate, leading unsuspecting victims to click on links that download malware and give access to private information.

This could lead to ex-

• Criminals convincing victims that their financial advisors are under investigation and cannot be trusted.

• The victim is coaxed into giving their money to the fraudster for safekeeping.

• The fraudsters warn the victim not to say anything or risk being harmed or going to jail.

In a local case that robbed a San Diego senior of $200,000, the scammers were part of a transnational criminal network that use couriers to pick up money from victims.

Several times a week, couriers come into San Diego County to collect funds from elderly victims who are scammed out of their life savings.

The pre-planning goes back to widespread campus “clubs” called Students for Justice in Palestine, long financed in part by the oilrich Arab emirate Qatar and in part by private donors. Qatar’s access to major college campuses was helped by more than $11 billion in contributions to American universities since 1988.

As of 2017, California campuses including Stanford University, UCLA, UC Berkeley and USC were among the top 10 recipients of Qatari money, according to one federal report. Some universities, including New York state’s Cornell University and Northwestern University outside Chicago, eventually established branch campuses in the desert Qatari city of Doha. One big irony was Northwestern setting up a $600 million branch of its noted journalism school in Qatar, where there is no press freedom.

Another irony saw Qatar, which has reportedly contributed at least $3 billion to Hamas, set itself up as the main “neutral” arbitrator seeking a cease fire after Israel eventually did launch its response to Oct. 7.

Meanwhile, federal reports between 2015 and 2020 concluded that universities with major funding from Arab countries including Qatar and Saudi Arabia experienced 300% more anti-Semitic incidents than those that did not get such funding. Institutions receiving Qatari cash during the same period had 250% more anti-Semitic episodes than those which got none.

And the New York based Lawfare Project, which examined Qatar’s involvement in American higher education through the Qatar Foundation In-

For those who have wondered why many faculty members at California campuses like UC Berkeley, Stanford, USC, UCLA and UC Santa Barbara participate enthusiastically in the ongoing protests, where an unknown but significant percentage of participants are not actual students, the Qatari and other Arab contributions might provide a clue, as they help fund hundreds of teaching positions.

Other reports confirm that between the 2001Twin Towers attack and 2021, Qatar contributed $4.7 billion to American universities, with California campuses getting their proportionate share. The National Association of Scholars concluded most of the recipients did not report all they received, including $100 million taken by Texas A&M University.

Could all this offer some explanation for why university presidents did little about the hate spewed at the SJP-organized protests until those demonstrations morphed into tent cities taking over central areas on the campuses of Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA and USC, to name only four of the California universities now involved? All are among major recipients of Qatari money.

The funding also helped create one of the many recent scandals at USC, when a prince from that country landed on its academic dean’s list several years ago despite almost never attending classes. The prince’s spokespeople labeled much of the local reportage on this as “outright bigoted.” But many other reports indicate it was Qatari money and not local newspapers that have apparently led to the bigotry and anti-Semitism now plaguing many universities.

After four days, crews extinguish pier fire

Officials

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— After nearly four days of battling flames, billowing smoke and smoldering embers, the city’s fire officials announced Monday that crews had fully extinguished a fire that erupted on the western end of Oceanside Pier.

Before the fire was snuffed out on Monday, the former Ruby’s Diner was charred to near rubble, the neighboring Brine Box food kiosk torched, and the western side of the hammerhead — referring to the shape of the pier’s protruding end — severely damaged. Underneath the blackened and hollow structures, roughly 95% of the pier remained intact.

Due to concerns about debris in the water, the surrounding beaches were closed to the public over the weekend, but county environmental health officials said the waters were safe for swimmers and surfers.

Debris collection efforts are still underway.

Lifeguards first reported smoke from the former Ruby’s Diner at Ruby’s around 3 p.m. on April 25. Fire units were quickly dispatched and arrived at the

scene five minutes later, evacuating everyone on the pier.

Hundreds of onlookers watched from land as the fire created a large, dark plume of smoke from the pier, visible from beaches as far south as Encinitas and Del Mar.

More than 100 firefighters, city staff and other

local emergency personnel responded to the blaze, including mutual aid from the Vista and Carlsbad fire departments, Cal Fire, the U.S. Coast Guard, San Diego HazMat and San Diego Lifeguards, and cooperating agencies like Oceanside Police and San Diego Gas & Electric.

A combination of boats,

two helicopters, and various fire engines contained the flames to the end of the pier by 6 p.m. that evening, and crews worked overnight and through the weekend to extinguish the fire.

According to OFD, no injuries were reported due to the blaze.

During a press conference Monday, Oceanside

Fire Chief David Parsons said the department is teaming up with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to investigate the cause of the fire, and the inquiry will likely last several weeks.

Based on preliminary investigation findings, Parsons said the fire appeared to originate outside Ruby’s,

somewhere near the exterior northwest corner of the building.

A canine trained to detect accelerants was deployed for potential signs of arson on the pier. However, Parsons said the dog found “no evidence of “an incendiary or intentional act.”

“The cause wasn’t ill-intentioned,” the fire chief said.

According to Parsons, existing evidence suggests the fire could have been accidental, but the exact cause — electrical, cooking, heating, smoking — has yet to be determined.

Parsons and several other city officials applauded the efforts of the city’s staff and the aid from other local, county, state and federal agencies.

“We couldn’t have done it without their help,” he said.

The Oceanside Fire Department arrived within five minutes of the first emergency call and launched extinguishing efforts within nine minutes.

SDG&E’s helicopter assisted fire crews by collecting water from the ocean to dump on the fire, and Manson Construction’s tugboat sprayed the burning structure from underneath the pier — both integral to firefighting efforts, Parson said.

The chief also said

Students, staff ‘devastated’ by USK’s closure

Private college closes abruptly, cites cash deficit

By Laura Place

SAN

MARCOS

— The usual rush of end-of-year preparations at the University of Saint Katherine came to a sudden halt last week when students and faculty received an email with the shocking news that the school was ceasing all operations effective immediately.

In a 4 p.m. notice of termination email to staff, USK President Frank Papatheofanis said the school, which opened in 2010, would be “ceasing all employment” as of April 25, “can no longer meet its financial obligations because of a steep shortfall in operating cash,” and is filing for bankruptcy.

“Multiple reasons for this shortfall include extraordinary inflation, higher-than-anticipated salary increases, and high institutional student financial aid. The same factors have resulted in the closure of many small colleges and universities across the country. The board and I have vigorously explored multiple options that might allow us to continue. Unfortunately, none of these have proven viable,” Papatheofanis said in the email.

The announcement came just two weeks be-

fore finals and three weeks before the scheduled Class of 2024 commencement, which is now not guaranteed to occur.

The private Christian school, which belongs to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes, enrolls under 300 undergraduate students annually. The school has relied on athletic recruiting as a means for enrollment, with over 85% of students involved in sports last year.

“Our hearts break for our student-athletes at the conclusion of their Firebird careers, and we pray for their continued success

as they move forward,” the Athletic Department said in a statement on their website. “This website will continue to share the accolades won by our teams. Our student-athletes have worked hard this season, and we hope to provide them with the recognition they deserve.”

On Friday, the day after the announcement, students and staff could be seen clearing out their belongings from the university’s suite in the 220 Ranchero Drive building in San Marcos. People shared hugs and tears, and to-be graduates picked up their caps

and gowns that they are now unsure if they will be able to wear at commencement.

Ulises Ramirez, a junior on the school’s volleyball team, said the news is hard to process. He had planned to return to the university in the fall but now realizes he will need to finish out his college career elsewhere.

“I’m shocked, sad, and devastated. It’s pretty hard to put into words right now since it’s so fresh. I’m not really sure of the future right now,” Ramirez said.

Crista Wagner, a natural sciences professor, said she and other staff members

initially thought the email about the closure was fake until students came into her office with tears in their eyes. She said employees were given no warning of the closure.

“I’ve been here for three years. It’s been a beautiful place to work,” Wagner said.

“I’ve been on the phone with parents, talking to places where people could transfer... I was talking to people until almost midnight last night.”

Students said they were told that finals are canceled, and their current grades are now finalized. Those who qualify for graduation will still be able to receive their diplomas, and students with any remaining credits needed to complete for graduation will have to complete them elsewhere.

The news came as the No. 6 USK women’s beach volleyball team was competing for a NAIA national title in Tennessee. Just one day after receiving news of the university’s imminent closure, the team was eliminated in the quarterfinals, ending the season with a program-record 14 wins and a California Pacific Conference title.

USK was originally located in Encinitas before relocating to San Marcos in 2014. The university offers more than 25 different undergraduate programs in liberal arts and sciences.

In early March, the University of Antelope Valley, another small, private NAIA school in Lancaster, also announced that it was closing due to financial difficulties.

GREEN. CLEAN. CONNECTED.

On April 1, Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) became the default energy provider for power generation for the Cities of Oceanside and Vista. The two cities join existing CEA members Carlsbad, Del Mar, San Marcos, Solana Beach and Escondido.

CEA will now purchase energy on behalf of the Oceanside and Vista communities while San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) continues to deliver power to homes and businesses. Customers will continue to receive a single bill from SDG&E. CEA’s energy generation charge is not an extra charge, it simply replaces SDG&E’s previous charge for electricity generation.

CEA offers residents and businesses clean energy at competitive rates and reinvests revenues into projects and programs that benefit the local communities.

SANDAG chooses new CEO

Caltrans chief takes reins amid

toll road scandal

By Laura Place SAN DIEGO —

The San Diego Association of Regional Governments board of directors has appointed Mario Orso, head of Caltrans’s San Diego district, as the agency’s new CEO from a pool of hundreds of candidates.

Orso has worked at Caltrans for nearly 33 years, serving as chief deputy director of Caltrans District 11 since 2022, and was appointed acting director of Caltrans District 12 in Orange County in 2023.

The SANDAG board finalized Orso’s appointment on Friday morning, with his three-year contract to begin June 17, filling the seat left empty by Hasan Ikhrata in December. Coleen Clementson will continue to serve as Interim CEO until then.

Orso thanked the board after they approved his contract at their April 26 board meeting.

“I am aware of the magnitude of the responsibilities and the challenges ahead. I also want to recognize the incredible SANDAG team that you are entrusting me to guide and lead. But what most excites me are the opportunities that lay ahead of us. With our guidance and the entire board’s guidance, this goal will be achievable,” Orso said.

SANDAG Chair and San Diego County Supervisor Nora Vargas is excited about Orso's work going forward.

“You are a true reflection of this region. I have no doubt you will lead us with integrity, as you have done before in your previous positions, and I am excited about the work you will do in collaboration with this board,” Vargas said.

Orso earned his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from San Diego State University and previously served as the Caltrans District 11 Corridor Project Director for the South County and Trade Corridors, the district’s first Native American Liaison, and Intergovernmental Review Branch Chief and Project Manager.

Some board members argued that the CEO selection process was not completely transparent

and tainted by “leaks” of the candidates’ identities. After supporting a failed motion to restart the CEO search, seven board members, including Carlsbad Councilmember Melanie Burkholder, San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones and Escondido Mayor Dane White, voted against Orso’s appointment.

Along with managing around 400 employees and a $1.2 billion budget for transportation projects in the San Diego region, the board has tasked Orso with ushering in a positive culture shift within the agency’s executive management.

At the board’s last meeting, they reviewed the findings of an explosive investigation by SANDAG’s Office of the Independent Performance Auditor (OIPA).

The investigation found that executives knew about failures with the South Bay Expressway tolling system for well over a year before informing the board of directors and that financial reports from vendor ETAN Tolling Technologies could not be relied upon.

After approving Orso’s contract, the SANDAG board continued discussing management failures around the state Route 125 tolling system and continued to question interim CEO Clementson on why things were not done differently.

Specifically, board members noted that Fagan Consulting had advised SANDAG leadership of major issues with ETAN’s system back in mid-2022 and advised then-CEO Ikhrata

to bring forward a new request for proposals (RFP) to the board. When asked why this never happened, Clementson said she did not know.

“We’ve always had this culture of, like, ‘We’ll fix it, we’ll get it right.’ And that was a mistake that was made, that we believed we could get it right at some point in time. And then we get to a place where we back ourselves into a corner, and we have to do a sole source,” Clementson said.

The board also heard from Chief Financial Officer Andre Douzdjian, who announced his retirement shortly after the report was released. Douzdjian said it was ultimately Ikhrata’s decision not to bring a new RFP to the board and that while there were a host of issues with ETAN, they were doing their basic job of bringing in money from the tolls.

He said management also did not have all the information needed to present a complete RFP and new options to the board at the time.

However, after learning in August of 2023 that the agency would not meet their year-end financials for the toll, Douzdjian said he told Ikhrata that they had “to stop this.”

“I know a lot has been said, but I can stand here in front of you and tell you that staff did their best with the intention of moving the project forward. There wasn’t any time we spoke as a management team of trying to hide anything,” Douzdjian said.

Some board members alleged that the handling of the SR 125 situation may have had a criminal element. OIPA investigator Courtney Ruby said that while the investigation found gross mismanagement, it did not find fraud, illegal activity, or intentional deceit.

Vargas emphasized that “group think” is not healthy within executive leadership, especially when it comes to the use of public funds.

“If you have executives in a room who are not able to push back on a CEO, and we have a CEO who is not willing to listen, then we have a cultural problem. That is where I think we as a board have a responsibility to ensure that we are emphasizing that with our new CEO... the importance of creating very clear expectations about, the buck stops here,” Vargas said.

SANDAG is facing two lawsuits connected to the SR 125 toll road and has also been contacted by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Boy, 13, killed in alleged DUI crash

By City News Service ESCONDIDO

— A

13-year-old boy suffered fatal injuries in a two-vehicle crash in Escondido that allegedly involved an impaired driver, authorities said today.

The collision occurred around 10 p.m. on April 27 at the intersection of North Broadway and Country Club Lane, according to Escondido police.

All three victims were Escondido residents. The 13-year-old boy was later pronounced dead at the

Pets of the Week

PERSNICKETY

POP is pet of the week at Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She is a 1-year-old, 50-pound, female shepherd mix.

Persnickety Pop was taken to a shelter in the Imperial Valley before she was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters.

She is a medium energy dog who craves attention. She is almost always ready to cuddle, but sometimes she likes to have time to herself. That usually means she is going to find a warm, sunny spot to take a nap.

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

For information about adoption or to become a virtual foster, stop by Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza St., Encinitas, call (760) 7536413 or visit SDpets.org.

WASILLA is pet of the week at Helen Woodward Animal Center. He is a 6-month-old husky and Australian cattle dog blend from Northern California with low grade goofiness and a penchant for playfulness.

Wasilla loves to play and seems to think he invented the game of fetch. He often runs happily around with the other dogs in the yard. He is looking for a loving home with a family that adores him.

Wasilla’s adoption fee is $375 plus a $36 microchip fee. All pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center are altered and up-to-date on vaccinations and micro-chipped for identification.

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

Carlsbad Rotary honors AVID students

By Staff

CARLSBAD — Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary Club completed its 16th annual AVID Conference for Carlsbad High School students at the Westin Resort in April.

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a program of Carlsbad middle and high school students targeting those students who would be the first in their families to attend college.

Jeff Spanier, AVID coordinator for Carlsbad High School, identified five current AVID students for special honors, including: Floridalma Pablo Pablo, Sarahi Torres, Viviana Granados,

Sofia Tamayo and Javier Garcia.

The one-day conference seeks to expand career options and leadership skills of the students attending.

The conference provides students with an opportunity to hear from and interact with Rotarians and adult speakers who have interesting histories to share.

One such speaker is Mauricio Berber, a former AVID student who is now the president of RMJ Technologies in Houston. Berber makes an effort to attend this conference every year to showcase the steps he took and the results he attributed to what he learned during

his AVID school days.

Additional conference speakers this year were Ayrton Lopez of Horizon Media, who is also an AVID graduate; Rachel Ivanovich of Easy Life Management; Miguel de Jesus of the College of Business, Cal State San Marcos; Wendy Savalza, a Cal State San Marcos student and AVID graduate; and Walt Waggener of State Farm Insurance.

Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary Club is a service club with a motto of “Service Above Self” and meets every Monday (except federal holidays) at 12:10 p.m. at the Westin Resort. Visitors are welcome.

Man, that was a quick 20 years. Seems like only weeks ago I was speaking to Robert Wald in front of his home/ office in Cardiff on Chesterfield Drive. This was just prior to the area being mowed down by tasteless yuppies eager to homogenize our beautiful community for a buck. Don’t get me started.

Back to Rob. He and I had been friends since the late '70s when he operated a lobster skiff alongside his mentor, the late Tommy Lewis. (Lewis, if you don’t know, was the legendary surfer/fisherman/waterman who often brought many of us to our feet when catching 6-foot waves at George’s in his purple skiff. After that, he would sell his fresh catch on the beach for a few dollars.)

Wald and Lewis were tightly linked as members of a hardcore and disappearing tribe. While Lewis continued fishing, Wald pursued another love of his — photography. He first gained fame after snapping that famous duotone shot of Stan Lewis (Tommy’s father) in mortal combat with the sea. Other archival photos of Wald’s include the Seaside Trailer Park, various surfers, local portraits “The Last of the Dorymen,” a recent exhibit where his work was featured in a oneman show at the Encinitas Library.

Being a lifelong surfer and onetime commercial fisherman, Wald is uniquely qualified to tell the stories of those of us whose lives have been spent in or near the ocean. Rob and I spent long hours exchanging surf stories of fun, glassy surf to those rare days when waves were so big, they blocked out the sun.

I was out of my league when he told of fishermen in tiny skiffs landing fish that nearly sank their boats. These tales had been stored exclusively in the vault of Wald’s mind for decades before he put them down in a tabloid the locals know and love as The Ocean Magazine.

At the time of our aforementioned meeting in Cardiff, I was also at the genesis of helping launch a new magazine called Ris-

en, where we interviewed celebrities on their spirituality. Rob and I wished each other luck and, after a few months of putting our heads down and straining our eyeballs to the point of bleeding, we compared our beautiful babies. Exciting times!

Over the years, The Ocean Magazine has chronicled surfers like Carl and Woody Ekstrom, Hot Curl creator Mike Dormer, Hawaiian George Downing, big wave legend Buzzy Trent, psychedelic art leader/surfer Rick Griffin, and countless other surfers, musicians and artists. The magazine was a hit from the beginning, and, while a one-man band, continues being an authoritative force keeping our community stoked and anchored to its roots. This is an aquatic truck stop where older surfers relive their glory days and younger surfers discover their rich heritage, often for the first time.

As someone willing to live and die on the hill of the printed word, I speak not only for The Ocean Magazine, but for everyone typing their lives away into the pursuit of truth and beauty. Those involved in print media know these are tough times. It is doubtful that our readers look behind the curtain long enough to realize that. But think about it: Without trained humans who live, die, laugh, and cry, and are willing to go out into the world and record the horrors and beauties of daily life, where would we be?

While the newspapers I speak of are free, a subscription, which costs pennies a day, ensures they will arrive in your mailbox at each printing. And, a mere few hundred bucks buys an ad seen by thousands of your customers. Don’t allow print media in our neighborhood to go the way of Cardiff’s dorymen. You will only miss it when it’s gone.

SDUHSD OKs ethnic lit course

By Laura Place

ENCINITAS — Leaders in the San Dieguito Union High School District officially approved adding several new courses to the student catalog last week, including an ethnic literature elective course that prompted discussion from students, teachers, and community members.

The ethnic literature class was offered as a pilot program at San Dieguito Academy in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 school years. After being initially approved by the board last spring, the course was brought back on April 24 for the approval of its curriculum scope.

Teacher Ruth Magnusen, who created the ethnic literature course with fellow teacher Yoshiye LeaVesseur, said her class read personal narratives, short stories and poetry by authors representing Native American, African American, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and Arab American identities, among many others.

Titles covered include the novels “Firekeeper’s Daughter” by Angeline Boulley, “Poet X” by Elizabeth Acevedo, graphic novels “Maus” by Art Spiegelman and “Persepolis” by Marjene Satrapi, and other supplemental materials, according to the course scope.

“I wish all of you could see my students engaged in discussion,” Magnusen said. “For many of my students of color, ethnic literature was the first time they saw themselves reflected in the curriculum in a meaningful way.”

Not enough students signed up for ethnic literature for it to be offered at San Dieguito Academy or Canyon Crest Academy in the upcoming school year, according to Superintendent Anna Staffieri, and courses that do not run for two years become inactive and need to go through the pilot process again to be offered.

Other schools could offer the course in the future depending on enrollment and student interest, said Associate Superintendent of Educational Services Bryan Marcus.

“Our hope for Ethnic Lit

moving forward is that we have more signups so that the course can run in the future,” LeaVesseaur told The Coast News.

The ethnic literature course has been the target of scrutiny over the past year, mainly by those opposed to the teaching of broader ethnic studies and critical race theory and DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) topics. While some community members spoke against the course at the board’s April 24 meeting, several students shared about its positive impacts.

CCA junior Michi Synn, who led the school’s student initiative supporting ethnic literature, said the course helps promote acceptance, understanding and cultural awareness.

“Having the option of taking ethnic literature is important to students, as it allows us to understand the experience of people who, like me, have parents and grandparents who are immigrants and whose voices are shaped by those experiences. Ethnic literature can help create a sense of belonging, and bring our diverse student population together,” Synn said.

Other students and alumni said the class was a “transformative experience” that provides perspectives not taught in other classes and allows more students to see themselves reflected in the curriculum.

“Knowing that these perspectives are being taught provides a safer and more comfortable environment, where students of color are able to learn more about their own shared experiences,” said SDA senior Pilar Gonzalez. “Many of my required courses have not given a spotlight to perspectives of marginalized communities that are not White.”

The board approved the course’s adoption in a 4-1 vote. Trustee Phan Anderson, who voted against the approval, criticized the course for including graphic novels, for not including literature by White authors,

Richard, an imaginative artist, consummate sailor, often said that “life is like sailing. The sea changes every minute, and we must learn to ride the waves and cherish the calm.” And so, he did.

In uncertain times, Richard stood as a lighthouse, his spirit, his optimism keeping the elements at bay.

Foremost, Richard was a man of the world, but his heart belonged to the sea and the woods.

He was happiest sailing the ocean, hiking in nature or immersed in books written by wise men and women who’d journeyed internally and externally, just as he had.

His compassion extended to all sentient beings, two legged or four.

He laid trails across Tibet and Nepal, leading spiritual pilgrimages and extending his generosity to charities like the Manjushri School. As a men-

Richard will be remembered as a humble Buddhist who emanated nothing but kindness, a teacher who guided us towards a deeper understanding, and a loving partner nourishing our world with the seeds he left behind, using his teachings to find solace, to experience beauty, and to appreciate the tranquil harmony that is life.

Horace Mann said, “Teachers teach because they care Teaching young people is what they do best. It requires long hours, patience and care.”

National Teacher Appreciation Day falls on Tuesday, May 7 this year and gives us the chance to honor these men and women who care enough to choose teaching as their life’s role.

This day can be observed by giving a teacher you know a little bit of appreciation. Show your appreciation with a thank -you note, a letter of support to a teacher, or by volunteering at your local school.

People can also show their teacher appreciation by helping them buy school supplies for their students, providing a surprise gift card for their personal use, letting your child bring his/ her teacher a flower, or just sending a fun card every so often throughout the year.

The many stresses in today’s world add to their challenges. Please support their efforts. Be sure to say thanks each time you see them.

Carlsbad tightens local control over airport

County must seek city’s approval on runway expansion

By Samantha Nelson CARLSBAD

— The city will have the final word on the county’s airport expansion plans after adopting a series of code amendments on April 23, drawing a bright line under local control of McClellan-Palomar Airport.

The code amendments require the county, which is seeking to increase the airport’s capacity by extending the runway, to first request the city’s permission.

The Citizens for a Friendly Airport (C4FA) asked the city to reintroduce the amendments earlier this year. The amendments were previously part of a settlement agreement between the city and the county in 2019.

First opened in 1959, the McClellan-Palomar Airport is owned and operated by the County of San Diego as a single-runway airport meant to replace the former Del Mar Airport. Carlsbad annexed the airport in 1978.

Today, the airport has around 300 aircraft based there and accommodates 140,000 takeoffs and landings per year. Planes utilizing the airport range in size from smaller propeller aircraft to corporate and com-

ments include defining the “airport” use and “airport expansion,” and prohibits all airport uses in zones outside of the airport’s boundaries.

“The city of Carlsbad has local control of land use at the airport. That was part of our annexation agreement,” said Vickey Syage, president of C4FA. “That got lost along the years, and it was reaffirmed by the courts from C4FA’s litigation.”

Over the years, many residents have been concerned about potential noise and other quality-of-life impacts from the airport.

mercial business jets holding up to 20 passengers.

The airport’s current runway is 4,897 feet, though the county has sought to extend that length for some time to allow for a larger fleet of business jets and larger aircraft to use the airport.

The airport’s original 1997 master plan projected that the airport would have 610 based aircraft and 260,000 annual takeoffs by 2015 – nearly twice the amount it still serves nine years later – and would need several improvements in order to accommodate that amount.

The county began work on the McClellan-Palomar Airport Master Plan Update in 2014, which would expand the airport’s capacity. After the Board of Supervisors adopted the master plan update in 2018, C4FA

and the city sued the county – opposing the county’s proposed 800-foot runway extension.

In 2021, the Superior Court concluded that the master plan update’s final program environmental impact report’s noise analysis was inadequate and required the county to obtain an amendment to the CUP before changing the airport’s design standards.

Because of this, the city terminated its 2019 settlement agreement with the county. In January, C4FA reached out to the city with the hopes of reintroducing zoning code amendments that were withdrawn as conditions of the settlement agreement. The group also requested a General Plan amendment to clarify further the city’s policy for new or expanded airport uses.

Specifically, the amend-

“What a lot of this comes down to is a general fear that Palomar (airport) could turn into a John Wayne miniature airport,” said Gary Gonsalves, referring to the international John Wayne Airport in Orange County.

Gonsalves noted that many commuter airlines won’t fly into an airport that is under 5,000 feet.

The county completed additional noise analyses and approved the final master plan update in 2021, which proposes to extend the runway by 200 feet with a maximum 900-foot extension option at some point in the future, contingent upon a CUP.

According to staff, the planning division will work with the city attorney’s office to prepare the necessary documents to update the zoning code and eventually bring them back for the council’s final approval.

Community garden coming to Stagecoach Park

By Samantha Nelson CARLSBAD —

The City Council recently approved plans for a new community garden at Stagecoach Community Park and agreed to increase parkland in-lieu fees for developers to help build new city parks and improve existing ones.

The new community garden at Stagecoach will be the fourth of its kind in Carlsbad and the first in the southeast quadrant, according to an April 23 staff presentation.

For 41 years, the Harold E. Smerdu Community Garden in the city’s northwest portion was Carlsbad’s only community garden. Then, in 2017, the Calavera Schoolhouse Community Garden opened in Calavera Hills Community Park in the northeast corner of the city.

In 2018, the Pine Avenue Community Garden, located in northwest Carlsbad, opened in Pine Avenue Park.

The council aims to install community gardens in each quadrant of the city, leaving only the southeast area without one—for now.

The new garden at Stagecoach will replace a fenced-in maintenance yard that is no longer necessary because the city contracted out its park maintenance services, staff said.

The chainlink fence will be replaced with one similar to that at Pine Avenue Community Garden. Construc-

tion of the garden will also remove the existing asphalt in the yard and replace it with decomposed granite.

The new garden will have 35 raised planting beds, two of which will be raised for ADA accessibility, as well as an information kiosk, composting bins, tool storage, a picnic table, benches

and a shade structure.

According to staff, construction is expected to take four months and will be complete by the end of the year. With the council’s unanimous approval, staff is now authorized to advertise for construction bids and expects to return to the council in June with a selected

contractor.

So far, the City Council has appropriated $437,000 from the city’s park in-lieu fees for the garden. These fees are collected from developers who opt to pay them instead of setting aside designated parkland.

Parks and Recreation

Director Kyle Lancaster said the new community garden will require an additional appropriation of $183,000 to fully implement the project’s components based on an engineer’s estimate.

Maintenance and operation costs are estimated to be around $72,000 per year.

Patrice Smerdu, a member of the Carlsbad Community Gardens Collaborative, has a garden plot in the Smerdu Garden named after her late father.

Smerdu said adding a garden to the city’s southeast corner will help more prospective gardeners stay closer to home.

“It’s just really a delightful plan,” she said.

The city currently has a 400-person waitlist for community garden plots in the city.

At the meeting, the council also approved substantial increases to in-lieu fees for all developers seeking to build residential subdivisions. In Carlsbad, part of the approval process for housing projects requires developers to either dedicate land for city parks or pay a fee. The fees “support the construction of new city parks or park improvement projects.”

The rates haven’t been raised since 2005 and vary depending on the location and type of housing being built. Most of the raises range between 39% and 72%.

The city conducted a study that showed the projected revenue from the new parkland in-lieu fees through buildout is approximately $85 million. Under the previous structure, the revenue was only $33.5 million—about $51.5 million less.

The new fees will be phased in beginning in the upcoming fiscal year and gradually increased over the next three years until they are fully implemented.

Pacific Ridge named Green Ribbon School

CARLSBAD — Pacific Ridge School in

was among five California educational institutions named last week as U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School honorees. The recognition honors schools or districts “for conserving resources while promoting health and environmental literacy.”

Five honorees were chosen in California, ranking among 41 schools, 10 districts, three postsecondary institutions and one early learning center across the country.

“This year’s U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools are leading school transformation in states that will help ensure all students in all communities have the opportunity to grow to become strong and healthy learners,” U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a statement.

“Notably, half are located in under-resourced communities. These awards represent thousands of students, and countless hours of hard work in schools and on college campuses, ensuring equitable access to healthy, climate-resilient learning environments where students are prepared for the sustainability challenges of the present and future.”

In conjunction with the federal announcement, California State Superintendent of Public Instruction announced that 20 schools, 14 school districts and two county offices of education had been recognized with 2024 California Green Ribbon Schools honors.

Board OKs abortion pill stockpiling

By City News Service REGION —

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors this week passed a measure that will allow the county to secure an emergency stockpile of medication-based abortion treatments Misoprostol and Mifepristone.

Vice Chair Terra Lawson-Remer, who made the proposal, was joined by colleagues Monica Montgomery Steppe and Nora Vargas. Supervisors Joel Anderson and Jim Desmond voted no.

The board directed Sarah Aghassi, interim chief administrative officer, to add support for abortion medications to the county’s 2024 Legislative Program.

Aghassi will also look at ways to ensure adequate access to the drugs — including with local clinics, and medical and telehealth providers — and report back to the board at a later date.

Tuesday’s approval followed a failed attempt on April 9, which lacked the required number of votes to pass.

At the time, only three board members were present. Lawson-Remer and Montgomery Steppe voted yes, while Desmond was opposed. Anderson was absent during the vote, while Vargas left the meeting earlier.

After her proposal passed, Lawson-Remer said leaders “have a responsibility to protect reproductive freedom, and (Tuesday’s) action by the majority of the supervisors signals to childbearing San Diegans that we are committed to making medication for abortion treatment available to them.”

Ahead of an anticipated U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Lawson-Remer last month called for the county to secure its emergency stockpile of the drug.

FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, involves the anti-abortion group AHM suing the Food and Drug Administration over its approval of Mifepristone, was filed shortly after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

Mifepristone is an oral medication taken with Misoprostol to terminate an early-stage pregnancy by blocking the hormone progesterone. It can also be used to help aid in the process when a person is suffering from a pregnancy loss and helps to keep individuals from needing surgery or waiting for the pregnancy to pass on its own, which can take up to eight weeks.

During the April 9 meeting, Desmond said the county has nothing to do with pill management.

O’side nails down STR rules

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —The

City Council recently established a cap on non-hosted short-term rentals in coastal neighborhoods west of Coast Highway and will not allow any additional vacation rentals in the R-1 zoned area fronting the ocean along Pacific Street.

Council approved a staff recommended option on April 24 that sets a maximum cap of 480 non-hosted short-term rentals (STRs) in neighborhoods west of Coast Highway. With 455 non-hosted STRs already operating in this area, the cap only allows for 25 additional non-hosted rentals.

Non-hosted STRs are vacation rentals that don’t have a host simultaneously using the home as their primary residence.

Staff’s recommendation also grandfathers in any existing non-hosted STRs in the R-1 neighborhood. Additionally, the new rules also specify that only owners of homes can use their property as STRs, preventing tenants from doing so.

If a home currently permitted as a non-hosted STR in the city is sold, that permit does not transfer to the new owner. Properties currently operating as non-hosted STRs in the R-1 zone can no longer be used as STRs if sold.

The new rules also state that: STR operators cannot advertise rentals with more than five bedrooms; rentals can have no more than 14 guests regardless of bedroom count; no loud or offensive sounds are permitted between 10 p.m. and 10 a.m.; and the rental permit number must be displayed on the hosting platform.

The move also added two new categories of fines and stricter penalties for threats to public health and safety or operating without a permit. Those who violate these standards could face a $1,500 fine for the first infraction and $2,500 for a second or subsequent violation, plus revocation of their permit.

As a caveat to approving staff’s recommendation, the City Council directed staff to report back on the status of the amended ordinance periodically.

“We need to bring this back for review every year or two years,” Councilmember Rick Robinson said.

STRs have been a hot-button issue not only in Oceanside but regionally for some time.

Many residents feel that STRs are taking over too much of the city’s housing stock and create too many disturbances for neighbors. Others argue that STRs provide a significant chunk of the city’s revenue.

More recently, the Neighborhood for Neighbors coalition has argued that corporate STR operators are buying up properties to create “mini-hotels” and “party houses” that destroy the character of local neighborhoods.

“We want help to make sure neighbors are not paying the price for investor’s profits while Oceanside allows corporate STRs to expand and buy up housing stock,” said Jeff McDermott, one of the leaders behind the Neighborhoods for Neighbors group. McDermott owns a large home on South

Pacific Street next to one of Rancho Santa Fe-based retired anesthesiologist David Fischbach’s STRs.

This argument has been countered by another coalition of residents, the California STR Alliance, who claim several of the ringleaders of the Neighborhoods for Neighbors are wealthy homeowners who don’t primarily live or vote in Oceanside and are seeking to create a private beach of their own.

More than 50 people voiced their concerns to City Council on April 24 with the room split evenly between the opposing groups. For many, staff’s recommendation provided a welcomed balance to the issue.

Sully Sullivan, an Oceanside resident, local real estate investor and energy consultant, credited Fischbach for sparking a “renaissance” in Oceanside after turning around many dilapidated, troubled properties into desirable vacation rentals.

“It’s disappointing to see our guests and operators unfairly villainized by certain groups,” Sullivan said. “Oceanside has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decade thanks to initiatives like those led by David Fischbach. … It’s

San Marcos allocates CDBG funds

By Laura Place

SAN MARCOS — City leaders have approved allocations of around $710,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds, including over $100,000 to support various local organizations in the upcoming fiscal year.

Because the federal government has yet to confirm the exact CDBG allocations for cities for the 2024-25 fiscal year, San Marcos is using last year’s allocation total as an estimate. Funds will become available July 1.

“CDBG funds are used primarily to support public services, program administration, affirmatively furthering fair housing, and public facility or capital improvement projects,” said Sylvia Daniels, the city’s Housing & Neighborhood Services Manager.

Last week, the City Council agreed to allocate 20% of the total funds, or $142,000, toward administration costs, and earmarked $461,636 for planning and construction related to the Senior Activity Center HVAC capital improvements project.

For the $106,000 available in public service grants, the city approved allotments to six organizations out of a list of 13 total applicants.

important to recognize that STRs have paved the way for Oceanside’s desirability as visitor destination.”

Oceanside collects more than $8 million in transient occupancy tax (TOT) from visitors who stay in the city’s STRs.

According to Darlene Nicandro, the city’s Director of Development Services, STRs make up nearly 60% of Oceanside’s overnight accommodations with approximately 1,200 STRs of the 2,155 combined STRs and hotel rooms.

By comparison, STRs make up 25% of overnight accommodations in San Diego, 32% in Malibu, 23% in Huntington Beach, 17% in Coronado and 14% in Carlsbad.

Councilmember Eric Joyce was the only vote against the recommendation. He disagreed with singling out R-1 neighborhoods.

“All neighborhoods are a vital piece of the puzzle,” he said, noting that STR numbers will now grow more concentrated in other neighborhoods instead.

The latest change follows Council’s previous decision in December to ban non-hosted STRs in areas outside of the city’s designated coastal zone.

This includes $20,000 each for the Legal Aid Society of San Diego, the Boys and Girls Club of San Marcos summer day camp for low-income youth, and Meals on Wheels; $10,000 for the city Parks and Recreation Department’s senior nutrition program; $24,500 for the Community Resource Center’s Latino victim advocacy program; and $12,000 for ElderHelp housing placement and support services for low-income and disabled seniors.

Applicants that were not recommended to receive funds this cycle included Casa de Amparo, Interfaith Community Services, Mission Edge, Lifeline Community Services, San Marcos Prevention Coalition, Project Next (formerly known as San Marcos Promise), and Veterans Village of San Diego.

The city is also using over $1.2 million in leftover CDBG funds from prior years to fund projects. This includes nearly $840,000 for Phase 2 improvements at Richmar Park, including a shade structure, half basketball court, sidewalk and landscaping, with the project expected to go out to bid in the coming months.

An additional $405,500 has been allocated to support the senior activity center HVAC project. Staff estimate that the total project cost will exceed $1 million to maintain the facility as a designated San Marcos “cool zone.”

Revisiting Carlsbad Village’s Fresco Cocina

We revisited Fresco Cocina in Carlsbad Village, where executive chef Travis McKinnon presents a modern take on Latin cuisine. “The creative menu fuses Peruvian tradition with Mexican flair,” McKinnon said, offering shareable plates and main courses for those who enjoy bold, bright flavors.

McKinnon’s goal is a higher level of cuisine that is more approachable. The restaurant’s owner, Linda DiNitto, also owns a sister restaurant, 264 Fresco, just a block away. McKinnon’s culinary background includes working for and training with chef Brian Malarkey’s Restaurant. The menu, updated three times a year, recently transitioned to its spring and summer offerings.

McKinnon highlighted three new items: Brazilian Prime Skirt Steak, Whole Roasted Red Snapper Veracruz, and Mole Spiced Salmon. With such enticing options, patrons face the challenge of deciding what to try now and planning their next visit based on what they missed.

One notable change since our last visit to Fresco is the arrival of their new general manager, Mike Nybo, who oversees their bar and wine program, selecting wines from Argentina, Spain, Mexico, and California, maintaining their Latin influence.

Nybo, originally from Vancouver, Canada, began his culinary journey at The Keg Steakhouse, progressing from dishwasher to bar back, bartender, and line cook. His experience also includes five years bartending at the Donnelly Group, as well as stints in bartending

internationally in the Turks and Caicos Islands and Australia, before spending a year in Brooklyn, NY.

Nybo’s extensive background in bartending allows him to create innovative cocktails like the Oaxaca Old Fashioned. I loved this creation, which combines Anejo Tequilla, mezcal, and chocolate bitters.

McKinnon, Nybo and server Giana Stephenson guided our culinary journey, beginning with Cocina’s addictive tortilla and doro chips, complemented by my old fashioned cocktail and Frank’s glass of Albarino wine from Spain.

Our starters included three short rib empanadas featuring a soft, flaky dough filled with flavorful meat seasoned with Peruvian spices, garnished with pickled raisins, and plated with aji verde sauce. Alongside, we enjoyed delicate yellowtail tuna fish tacos with a crisp beer batter, served in

corn tortillas and topped with citrus slaw, avocado salsa, and pineapple salsa — both were perfect for sharing and a meal in themselves.

For our main entrees, Frank could not resist the roasted Chilean Seabass entrée served with black rice, chayote squash, and roasted corn salsa. Like the yellowtail, the seabass was perfectly cooked, resulting in a flaky, delicious Latin fish entrée. He also had a North Coast Laguna Baja beer. Being a fajitas lover, the Peruvian Steak Fajitas was an easy choice for me, especially with Giana’s affirmation.

The Angus beef tenderloin strips were amazingly tender and had onions, peppers, and tomatoes immersed into the dish. The provided flour tortillas (corn is also available) made a “create your own” wrap experience. The yuca fries and rice further enhanced this authentic Peruvian masterpiece. I shifted to the Urbina

Gran Reserva Rioja to pair with my fajitas. It would be hard not to choose this for future visits to Cocina, but there are so many more amazing dishes, including the three new dishes described above, that Chef McKinnon added to the new spring/summer menu. We wrapped up our Latin/Mexican culinary adventure with Dulce de Leche bread pudding. A thick slice of sweet bread was topped with a glaze and garnished with churro fries and strawberry coulis. Chef Travis, Mike, and Giana delivered a mouthwatering ethnic experience. If you’re seeking authentic Latin cuisine with

Mexican influences, Fresco Cocina is the spot for you. More details are available at frescococina.com.

Indian heart expert touts holistic therapies

By Jordan P. Ingram

ENCINITAS — In a 30-year mission to prevent heart attacks and strokes that started in India, Pratiksha Gandhi has brought her holistic approach to preventative cardiology to Encinitas, combining modern medicine and non-invasive cardiac treatment to help promote overall wellness and reduce heart disease.

For decades, Gandhi, who recently offered the Heart Strong Wellness program at Bamboo Garden Wellness Center in Rancho Santa Fe Plaza, has focused on the benefits of enhanced external counterpulsation therapy, or EECP, coupled with lifestyle changes based on proper diet, exercise, mind management and yoga. The non-invasive therapy involves using inflatable pressurized cuffs strapped to the calves, thighs, and hips to increase blood flow to the brain. The mechanical procedure, synchronized with the heartbeat, improves blood flow by “milking” blood toward the heart.

EECP therapy typically involves 35 one-hour sessions over seven weeks in cardiac cases.

While primarily used to treat angina — chest pain caused by the heart not receiving enough oxygen-rich blood — EECP therapy is also being studied for its potential to treat other conditions.

More than two dozen peer-reviewed studies have reported other therapeutic benefits of EECP, from improving blood flow in major arteries and enhancing the heart’s pumping efficiency to lowering cholesterol, helping combat chronic inflammation and symptoms of long-COVID.

According to research from the University of Kansas Medical Center, the treatment has also demonstrated promise for enhancing cognition in people with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

“We want to help the community by focusing on preventing heart disease rather than succumbing to it,” Gandhi said. “As a US citizen, I feel we need to create globally a healthy society for our children and grandchildren focused on prevention and wellness.”

Gandhi has made a significant impact in her native India for decades. She holds a medical doctorate from Mumbai University, a postgraduate degree in preventative medicine, and a gold medal in public health from India’s College of Physicians and Surgeons.

As the founder of IPC Heart Care Center, India’s largest chain of preventive cardiac care, Gandhi has garnered international recognition for her work with EECP treatment in India. She boasts a documented success rate of over 95% in more than 10,000 cases. Her

work was acknowledged by the then President of India in 2005, which made her a trailblazer in preventative and low-cost holistic non-surgical cardiology

In the U.S., she is a certified expert in preventative cardiology from the American Society of Preventive Cardiology, and she has been awarded as one of the Top 50 Global Women Leaders.

She chose not to get licensed to practice medicine in the U.S. as her approach is preventative, drug-free, pain-free, and not covered by insurance as of now. It is an adjunct to standard care for patients who want more by taking charge of their heart health.

An advocate for holistic health, Gandhi believes in integrating ancient Indian medical practices with modern medicine. She is a certified yoga and medita-

tion teacher with expertise in naturopathy, homeopathy, ayurveda and reflexology.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 356,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually in the U.S., and over 80% of heart attacks are deemed preventable. For Gandhi, these statistics drive her initiative to shift the focus from treating symptoms to preventing disease.

“While our healthcare system often emphasizes sick care over preventative measures, we believe in fostering a healthy society for future generations,” said Gandhi. Let’s not give labels to people with diseases; let’s treat them as human beings with a body, mind and soul. Connect with them, find the root cause of their problems and find a lasting solution rather than suppressing the

symptoms.”

And her holistic health journey has led her to Encinitas, a wellness-centric community along the North County coastline.

“Encinitas is a mecca of wellness, and I feel blessed and fortunate to be in this incredible community, which is so supportive of our venture,” Gandhi said. “We are local, but we think globally, as we offer in-person and online programs for whoever wishes to have a stronger heart and mind.” She has founded the non-profit Global Foundation for Preventive Cardiology to offer heart health education tools to empower every heart in our community.

Bamboo Garden Wellness Center’s co-founders, Dr. Michelle Dexter and Dr. Richard Jelusich, offer several integrative healing modalities, including indi-

vidual and couples sexual healing, bioenergetic therapies (emotional healing through the release of physical tension), integrative chakra therapy, spiritual counseling and past-life evaluations.

At Heart Strong Wellness, Gandhi’s goal remains the same as it did 30 years ago.

“Our mission is to prevent heart attacks and strokes,” Gandhi said. “We reverse heart disease using a root cause-driven approach involving drug-free, pain-free holistic solutions combining evidence-based advanced modern medicine with the ancient wisdom of oriental healing methods.”

The Heart Strong Wellness program is offered inside Bamboo Garden Wellness Center, Rancho Santa Fe Plaza, 162 South Rancho Santa Fe Road, Suite A30, Encinitas.

Sharp offers world’s 1st dual-chamber leadless pacemaker

Taking care of your heart is vital to your overall health. At Sharp Memorial Hospital, an expert team of cardiologists, cardiovascular and cardiothoracic surgeons, electrophysiologists, and nurse practitioners provides San Diegans with comprehensive heart and vascular care.

Sharp Memorial has announced it will begin using the world’s first dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system for people with irregular or slow heart rhythms. Abbott’s groundbreaking system, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in June 2023, gives patients a new minimally invasive option to treat the nearly 80% of pacemaker recipients who require pacing in two chambers of the heart: the right

atrium and right ventricle. Abbott’s AVEIR DR is an innovative treatment option for people with slow or irregular heart rhythms. Unlike traditional pacemakers, leadless devices are implanted directly into the heart chamber using a catheter-based delivery system inserted through a groin vein. As a result, leadless pacemakers reduce people’s exposure to potential complications, have no chest scars or “bumps,” and offer a shorter and less restrictive recovery period after implantation.

Roughly one-tenth the size of a traditional pacemaker and smaller than a AAA battery, the AVEIR DR dual-chamber leadless pacing system consists of two devices: the AVEIR VR ventricular leadless

pacemaker, which paces the right ventricle, and the AVEIR AR atrial leadless pacemaker, which paces the right atrium. This technology solves a significant engineering challenge by offering beat-to-beat communication between the leadless pacemakers.

“Pacemaker leads — insulated wires placed in the heart’s chambers — have been the Achilles’ heel of permanent pacemaker systems,” said Dr. Charles Athill, a cardiac electrophysiologist affiliated with Sharp Memorial. According to Dr. Athill, leads have a limited lifespan and are prone to infections. Although leadless pacemakers have been available for the last decade, they can only pace a single chamber, which limits their widespread use.

“With this new revolutionary dual-chamber pacemaker, more patients will have the benefit of leadless technology. We look forward to using AVEIR DR to help improve the lives of our patients and better achieve our mission of improving the health of those we serve with a commitment to excellence in all that we do,” said Dr. Athill.

Cardiology specialists at Sharp are located across San Diego County and are focused on helping patients improve their heart health.

Confused by food nutrition labels? You’re not alone

StatePoint

Shopping for groceries can be like navigating a maze: so many choices in every aisle, food packages covered in marketing claims and little direction on what is truly healthy and what isn’t.

People want to make healthy choices for themselves and their families, but how can they when the information available to them can be so overwhelming?

For years, the Nutrition Facts label on the back of food packages has provided important nutrition information, such as the amount of calories, fat, sodium, sugar, protein and vitamins and minerals.

But all the numbers

can be confusing, and they’re not readily visible. Given America’s high rates of diet-related disease and illness, advocates say that more must be done to make sure consumers have the information they need to make healthy choices.

That’s why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which sets standards for nutrition labeling, is developing a new labeling system that would appear on the front of food and beverage products, offering clear and concise information to help people quickly and easily identify healthier foods.

Research from other countries shows that frontof-pack labeling helps consumers make healthier

purchases and even gets manufacturers to make healthier products.

What could a front-ofpack label look like? More than 40 countries already require it. Some countries use stoplight colors like red, yellow and green, or a grading system like a report card — A, B, C, D, E

— to indicate how healthy a product is.

Other countries use a warning system that indicates whether products include high amounts of added sugars, saturated fat or sodium. Approaches like these make it easy for consumers to understand with a quick glance what’s

healthy and what’s not.

The success of front-ofpack labeling in other countries suggests it will help people in the United States make healthier choices that can improve well-being and reduce high rates of diet-related diseases, including some forms of heart disease and cancer.

In fact, the National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) recommended such a system more than 10 years ago, and national polls show most Americans support it.

The FDA plans to release a proposal for a frontof-pack food labeling system in the United States that can get everyone out of the food shopping maze. To stay informed and learn more, visit yourethecure.org/FOP.

“Clear, concise frontof-pack nutrition labeling is the answer. After all, grocery shopping shouldn’t require a degree in nutrition,” says Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association.

REGION — The National Institutes of Health have granted researchers at UC San Diego two grants totaling $6.7 million to develop and test technologies for noninvasive examinations of immune cells found in tumors.

These immune cells, called macrophages, are involved in the body’s normal inflammatory responses, but they also make up a significant portion of solid tumors, the researchers said.

The density of macrophages in a tumor can affect how it responds to treat-

ment, so the ability to count them noninvasively could help doctors decide which therapies will be most effective.

“Visualizing a patient’s inflammatory sites throughout the body will be invaluable for accurate clinical diagnosis and for planning precise therapeutic interventions,” said Eric Ahrens, a professor in the Department of Radiology at UCSD School of Medicine.

“Current approaches using biopsies are invasive, and some tumors are inaccessible to biopsy. There is an urgent need for new,

whole-body imaging technologies.”

The testing technology consists of feeding macrophages tiny drops of a biologically inert dye that can be detected by magnetic resonance imaging.

With the grant funding, the researchers will use the technology — called TAM-Sense — in patients with recurrent head and neck tumors. It will be the first time TAM-Sense will be tested in patients.

According to the scientists, beyond its use for cancer, TAM-Sense could also have clinical applications for other diseases that have substantial inflammatory components, such as autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular diseases and infectious diseases.

“Macrophages are often found at sites of pain in the body, and imaging tools that can pinpoint the anatomical location of these sites will enable more precise pain management,” a statement from the university reads.

Learning from the kitchens of

hen

think of Mother’s Day I think about preparing the family meal. My mother in her suburban Milwaukee kitchen started to prepare for dinner directly after the family had left the house after breakfast. An old gray recipe box opened up next to the stove, with each recipe notated in her perfect script.

The notes were always great fun to read. “Made strata for Tracy’s birthday breakfast ... Danny liked the Chinese Chicken ... Served Jano’s Chicken salad on Pepperidge Farm white toast.”

My dad never cooked. He was capable of putting his large pottery mug in the microwave with a teaspoon of Folger’s instant coffee.

“Ta-da!” he would exclaim.

“Perfect coffee every time!”

Once they retired and moved from Milwaukee to Phoenix, Dad did graduate from making instant coffee to preparing a once-a -month barbeque of Sheboygan Bratwurst and Bush’s Boston Baked Beans, but for the most part Mom did all the cooking — breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I suppose, as a teenager, I viewed her life as dull, boring and unfulfilling. But looking back on it, I now realize her dinner meals were perfect every time, with just the correct amount of protein, starch, vegetable and dessert.

She also prided herself in preparing lavish dinner parties for my dad’s clients and artist friends. She started expanding her Midwestern repertoire by taking a French cooking class, and her signature dish for company became boeuf en daube, so named for the luxurious French beef stew served with homemade

French bread and expensive red wine.

WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM OUR MOTHERS?

Although I respected my mother’s domestic talents, when I left for college I was determined not to be a “housewife.” I went on to study art education at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts and later moved with my former husband to Cold Spring, New York.

After teaching art for many years, I did in an odd way follow in my mother’s footsteps, opening a small, storefront catering business in the small ex-urban town

where we lived in the 1980s.

Although I had no professional catering experience, I traveled to the New York City and Westchester suburbs for ethnic cooking ideas and cooked my way through 10 international cookbooks. My business, Jano Catering, lasted for about three years but taught me a lot about being an entrepreneur and cooking on a large scale.

LEARNING FROM THE PROFESSIONIALS

As I write my Mother’s Day article, I have turned to one of my favorite food writers, Ruth Reichl, for ideas. I read Ruth’s restaurant reviews in the New York Times religiously when I lived in New York, as well as her writing in Gourmet Magazine.

When Gourmet ceased publication, Ruth was left without a job, and spent a year cooking in her home kitchen. In her memoir, "My Kitchen Year, 136 Recipes That Saved My Life," she fondly remembers, “I still believe, to the core of my being, that when you pay attention, cooking becomes a kind of meditation. And so, I take my time, admiring the color that’s hidden until you peel a peach. I open the oven door, leaning to savor the fine yeasty scent of the bread as it begins its slow rise.”

Ruth also combined her cooking and recipe writing with treks outdoors into her

garden on her Hudson River property. In strawberry season she wrote, “Strawberry morning. Sunshine and butterflies. Clean air. Flour, butter, cream: the scent of a very fine future. Everything seems possible.”

She goes on to talk about her strawberry shortcake, which reminded me of my grandmother’s strawberry shortcake recipe.

RECIPES FROM THE PAST

My paternal grandmother, Grama VanDenBerg, became a widow at the age of 50 and went to work as a cook at a local VFW hall. I admired her cooking skills, developed from necessity, and relished spending time in her tiny home kitchen.

She had a springtime ritual of picking strawberries from her Milwaukee bungalow backyard. The family gathered around her backyard picnic table to taste the season’s delight of strawberry shortcake.

Here is her recipe, taken from the "Betty Crocker Cookbook."

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

Ingredients (recipe can be doubled)

• 4 cups strawberries

• ¼ cup sugar

• 2 1/3 cups Bisquick Baking Mix

• 2/3 cup milk

• 3 tablespoons sugar

• 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

• ½ cup heavy whipping

cream

Directions

• Heat oven to 425°F. In large bowl, mix strawberries and ¼ cup sugar; set aside.

• In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk, 3 tablespoons sugar and the butter until soft dough forms. On ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough with a spoon to form six biscuits.

• Bake 16-17 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.

• Split warm shortcakes; fill and top with strawberries and whipped cream.

LEARNING FROM THE PAST

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, maybe it is time to explore the archival recipe books that our mothers and grandmothers kept. Is there an old gray recipe box on a kitchen bookshelf somewhere?

With the current interest in the local food scene in food preservation, fermentation and organic cooking, maybe we can learn from the past. Send me your recipe ideas, and we can continue our conversation!

Council considers retreat options for Carlsbad Blvd.

By Samantha Nelson CARLSBAD

— While some are eager to move a 1-mile stretch of South Carlsbad Boulevard further back from the ocean to escape rising sea levels, staff is tapping the breaks to figure out the best way forward for the city.

During an April 23 meeting, staff presented findings from a study, funded through a $533,175 grant by the California State Coastal Conservancy, that explored ways to redesign a section of Carlsbad Boulevard prone to flooding and vulnerable to future sea level rise.

Scientific modeling has shown that portions of the 1-mile segment on southbound Carlsbad Boulevard between Manzano Drive and Island Way will be affected by rising sea levels over the next 96 years.

The grant study included a conceptual design that showed how the road could be moved away from the coastline, an adaptive management plan that would guide how and when to move the road eastward, a cliff erosion assessment and a habitat restoration analysis of the Las Encinas Creek area.

The study also weighed two options for the City Council to consider in the future: a “retreat now” option that would move the entire segment of road from the coast at once, or a phased approach that would move the vehicle lanes to the east as needed and repurpose the old road for walking and biking paths to be used as long as it’s safe.

The phased approach breaks up the 1-mile road segment into four sections separated by intersecting roads including Palomar Airport Road, Solamar Drive, Las Encinas Creek and Island Way.

Each section has its own set of “triggers” or concerns that would dictate when retreat needs to happen.

Cliff erosion is the main trigger for the Palomar Airport section, which would require narrowing and relocating trails over time to keep the roadways at a close but safe distance from the ocean; meanwhile, the Solamar Drive segment would address its threat of cliff erosion through increased access and erosion control while also using roundabout there as long as possible before switching to a signalized intersection.

The Las Encinas Creek segment already experiences flooding during coastal storms at “the dip,” as it's

tions and many of Franklin’s comments elicited concern from individuals who said they would further criminalize homelessness and be ineffective in actually helping people become housed. Several individuals from the San Diego County organization Lived Experience Advisers spoke about

$8,100

referred to by locals. Moving this portion back would include habitat restoration along the creek, a new bridge and the formation of a possible 700-foot pocket beach with sand dunes and wetlands.

The study did not identify any triggers for the Island Way segment because the relocated infrastructure is already outside of the coastal hazard zone.

Staff noted there would be a continued need to work with the California State Parks agency due to potential impacts on state land at South Carlsbad State Beach.

According to Senior Program Manager Katie Hentrich, this is one of few adaptive management

their experiences with homelessness and the need for compassion.

Rachel Hayes said she was homeless in San Diego for 10 years before recently being connected to permanent supportive housing. While out on the street, she said she was in “24/7 survival mode” due to the trauma and having to be aware of her surroundings constantly.

“If you are a human being, you have to be somewhere,” Hayes said. “I saw the start of the encampment ban, and it was cruel and unusual punishment. It destroyed my community … An encampment ban is just a way to harass and criminalize the homeless.”

Natalie Rashki, who said she previously lived out of her car with her four children and husband in San Diego County, challenged Franklin’s assertions that the city should focus on those who say yes to shelter. She said there are many reasons why women and families choose not to go into shelter spaces.

“Just because we be-

plans created by coastal cities throughout the state. Because the practice of creating retreat plans is relatively new, Hentrich noted best practices may evolve over time and provide additional guidance in the future.

Staff also advised the City Council to consider pairing the 1-mile segment project with a longer-term, 3-mile project from Manzano Drive to the city’s southern border at La Costa Avenue. The project seeks to move the southbound lanes of Carlsbad Boulevard to the east and repurpose 60 acres of coastal land for recreational and other uses.

Several residents spoke in favor of the council opting for the retreat-now op -

come homeless doesn’t mean we take whatever you have to offer. There’s a lot of factors that go into trauma and dignity,” Rashki said.

Others noted that even though the city’s new low-barrier Buena Creek Navigation Center, which opened in March, is better than many other shelter options, it can only house so many people.

Capt. John Boyce of the Vista Sheriff’s Station said deputies are focused on providing resources to unhoused individuals. Boyce said citation and arrest are a last resort for individuals who refuse services, refuse to leave a restricted area or pose a safety threat.

“We are not going to arrest ourselves out of this unhoused issue,” Boyce told the council.

Councilmember Joe Green said the definition of “encampment” needs to be clarified, asking whether it includes anyone laying down or setting up a blanket in a park. Green said he would not favor banning camping in public parks during the day.

the city’s preferred method,” she said. “This isn’t just about infrastructure — it’s about protecting our playground, our environment, and the way we access and experience the coast for many generations to come.”

Despite several comments from the public as well as a recommendation from the Beach Preservation Commission in early April to opt for retreat now, staff is not yet ready to recommend either option to City Council.

“At this time, we have to do extensive more studies to determine what is feasible,” said Transportation Director and City Engineer Tom Frank. “We have to do geological studies, we have to study more about coastal access, we have to study what crossing that waterway looks like and the conceptual designs completed to date.”

tion as well.

“We can preserve and restore this beautiful place,” Janis Jones said. “It's already to me one of the most beautiful places on the planet, but imagine how much more beautiful it would be if restored to its natural state.”

Alex Ferron, living-shoreline coordinator with Surfrider Foundation, also urged the city to follow the retreat-now option.

Ferron said Carlsbad — unlike many other coastal cities — is fortunate to have enough space to move the road inland.

“Carlsbad can lead the way in proactive planning by simply maintaining momentum in action and adopting retreat now as

Deputy Mayor Katie Melendez agreed.

“I have lots of concerns about punishing people sleeping in the parks. I would hate to enforce something that is not for safety, and just appears to be for safety, but is actually restricting the freedom of our community,” she said.

Melendez also mentioned the possibility of establishing a safe camping site, similar to what is offered in San Diego. Franklin lambasted this suggestion, saying it would establish an equivalent of Skid Row in Vista.

Contreras shared concerns that a two-block radius banning encampments near schools would infringe upon private property rights, stating that some individuals may allow safe camping areas on their private property.

“I would rather us speak with certainty when we look at the possibility of somebody’s private property being encroached,” Contreras said. “I’m really not interested in playing Supreme Court up here.

Cost is another concern. Frank noted the potential bridge at Las Encinas Creek alone could cost more than $150 million. “That’s just an example of the magnitude of costs we’re talking about,” he said.

A funding source has yet to be determined. Funding from the grant study ended in February. The city’s goal is to complete the project’s preliminary design and permitting by 2028.

City Council asked staff to return with information about climate resilience districts, which could serve as a tool to raise money for planning and implementing climate mitigation or adaptation projects like the Carlsbad Boulevard retreat.

According to the city, these districts can be created to address sea level rise, extreme heat or cold, and the risk of wildfire, drought and flooding.

I don’t want to rush into something that we have zero clarity on.”

After discussing the encampment ban, the council voted 3-1-1 to table Franklin’s proposed policy statement on homelessness.

The statement emphasized that the city prioritizes homeless individuals in Vista to receive services before residents of other cities and stated that a housing-first approach is ineffective and removes funding from sober shelter facilities.

Franklin said the policy also recognized that addiction is a major driver of chronic homelessness.

The language in the policy also drew concerns from residents, stating that it stigmatized homelessness and those who have substance use disorders. Some objected to the use of the word “transient.”

“The proposed policy statement fundamentally misunderstands the nature of both homelessness and addiction,” said Michael Bronner, president of Vista-based Dr. Bronner’s.

on the western end of Oceanside Pier. A fire on April 25 destroyed the building and a nearby food kiosk.

the pier’s newly installed fire suppression system “worked flawlessly.”

According to Division Chief Blake Dorse, the city plans to install portable lights along the pier until its lighting can be restored and intends to open at least 75% of the pier to the public as soon as possible.

City leaders also promised to reopen and rebuild the pier quickly.

“We want to rebuild as soon as possible,” said Mayor Esther Sanchez.

Deputy Mayor Ryan Keim said the City Coun-

cil, united in its desire to restore the structure, will vote on Wednesday to ratify an emergency declaration for the pier.

“We stand together — we’re going to do everything we can to restore it,” Keim said.

Rep. Mike Levin (D-San Juan Capistrano), state Sen. Catherine Blakespear (D-Encinitas) and Assemblymember Laurie Davies (R-Laguna Niguel) have also indicated their intentions to help funnel state and federal aid toward restoring the pier.

The Oceanside Pier has been destroyed and rebuilt five times since it

was first constructed in 1888 at the end of what is now Wisconsin Avenue. In 1890, just two years after its construction, the entirely wooden 300-footlong pier was destroyed in a storm.

The next five piers, including the current one, were built at the end of Pier View Way. The original pier’s replacement was built in 1896 and lasted six years before it was also destroyed by severe weather.

The current pier was built in 1987 and is 1,954 feet long, making it one of the longest piers on the West Coast, according to the city.

claves like Del Mar, about its impacts on parking and changing the character of residential neighborhoods.

In his ruling, Kin said the state could not support its argument that the required upzoning would result in an increase in “affordable” housing, which the plaintiff cities argued is defined as below market rate.

Instead, the state argued that “affordable” can refer to the short-term promotion of housing affordability at all income levels and the “subsequent promotion of affordability at lower income levels by increasing overall housing availability.”

“To justify SB 9’s interference with municipal concerns of land use and zoning regulations, the legislature cannot rely on a potential, eventual decrease in prices resulting from increasing housing supply to demonstrate SB 9 would increase the supply of affordable (i.e., below-market-rate) housing,” Kin’s ruling stated.

For now, the state is also ordered to cease enforcement of SB 9.

The decision has major implications for the ever-growing number of housing development laws in California, which have faced pushback from cities throughout the state. Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office indicated they will continue to fight for the bill.

The Attorney General’s Office emailed a statement saying, “We are reviewing

the decision and will consider all options in defense of SB 9.”

The city of Del Mar was a late addition to the lawsuit, joining the other cities in 2023. Del Mar City Councilmember Terry Gaasterland said the state’s failure to support their theory of “trickle-down” affordable housing was a pivotal part of the case.

“What the judge is saying is that the state provided no evidence that simply providing new units would lead to affordable units,” Gaasterland said. “We need to build the housing that people need and want. That is not what’s happening with any of this legislation.”

While involved in the lawsuit, Del Mar was still required by the state Housing and Community Development Department to

adopt an ordinance approving local SB 9 regulations last June. At the time, the city added its own affordability requirement, stating that for two-unit developments on a single-family lot, at least one unit must be deed-restricted for 55 years as a lower-income rental. The local ordinance has yet to go into effect in the city while it awaits California Coastal Commission approval.

“I’m gratified that the people of Del Mar, and the Planning Commission, and our council looked at SB 9 and said ‘we have to implement it, but we’re gonna require affordable housing as part of it.’ We kind of called their bluff in advance,” Gaasterland said.

The Coast News has also contacted the Del Mar City Manager for comment.

Help us help them

Our shelters are in a state of emergency. That’s the message 11 leading local animal shelters and rescue organizations are sharing with our community.

In an unprecedented joint effort, these organizations — including San Diego Humane Society, City of Chula Vista Animal Services, East County Animal Rescue, Feral Cat Coalition, Friends of Cats, Frosted Faces Foundation, PAWS of Coronado, Rancho Coastal Humane Society, San Diego County Department of Animal Services, San Diego House Rabbit Society and Spay Neuter Action Project — held a press conference to highlight the fact that they have been over capacity with animals for well over a year.

The numbers of dogs in shelters and rescues have skyrocketed in recent years. Local shelters and rescue groups caring for rabbits and small pets are at maximum capacity and cannot take in more animals.

And now, organizations are facing the impact of the annual kitten season when shelters are flooded with thousands of kittens born to the hundreds of thousands of community cats living in San Diego County. Additionally, the

July Fourth holiday leads to a sharp increase in stray dogs each summer.

“Summer is the busiest time for animal shelters, so we need the community to help us help them, before it gets worse,” said Dr. Gary Weitzman, president and CEO, San Diego Humane Society.

“There are hundreds of deserving animals, from puppies and kittens to special breed dogs and cats and small pets, who are waiting for a second chance at our shelters and rescues.”

We are facing a preventable crisis this summer if our community doesn’t act now.

Here’s how to help:

• Adopt: Adopting saves lives, and thousands of pets are available at shelters and local rescues right now. From puppies and kittens to senior companions, rabbits and guinea pigs, shelters are overflowing with deserving animals in need of adoption.

• Foster: This is a critical – and temporary – way to help save lives. By opening your home to foster a pet, you give them relief from the stress of the shelter and create urgently needed space for other animals in need.

• Spay and neuter: Increasing the number of

spayed/neutered animals is the only way to stop the crisis of pet overpopulation at its root. Reduced access to spay/neuter services during the pandemic exacerbated the challenges facing our shelters.

People can prevent unintended litters by having their pets spayed or neutered, and supporting local programs that provide spay/neuter resources for owned animals and com-

munity cats.

San Diego achieved zero euthanasia of healthy or treatable shelter animals in 2015 and has maintained that commitment ever since. With the community’s help, our region can continue to be a compassionate haven for animals.

Act now to adopt, foster and spay or neuter. Learn more at sdhumane. org/helpus

Zoo leaders visit China, meet SD-bound pandas

By City News Service

REGION — Plans are moving forward for two giant pandas from China to travel to California and be cared for by the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance.

The zoo conservation and care team leaders this week met Yun Chuan — pronounced yoon chu-an — and Xin Bao — pronounced sing bao — at the Wolong Shenshuping Panda Base in Sichuan Province.

“It was an honor to see Yun Chuan and Xin Bao in person and meet our conservation partners caring for them at the Wolong and Bifengxia Panda Bases,” said Dr. Megan Owen, vice president of conservation science at San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. “Yun Chuan’s lineage has deep connections to the San Diego Zoo, and we’re excited by the prospect of caring for them.”

According to a Wildlife Alliance statement, Yun Chuan is nearly 5 years old and is described as mild-mannered, gentle and lovable. He is the son of Zhen Zhen — pronounced jen jen — who was born at San Diego Zoo in 2007 to parents Bai Yun — pronounced bye yoon — and Gao Gao — pronounced gow gow.

The first character of his name, “Yun,” is a nod to his grandmother Bai Yun, who lived at the San Diego Zoo for 23 years.

Xin Bao is a nearly

4-year-old female and is described as a “gentle and witty introvert with a sweet round face and big ears,” a zoo statement reads. Her name means a “new treasure of prosperity and abundance.”

The San Diego Zoo leaders met with Chinese veterinarians and conservation partners to discuss proper care for the animals and how to further protect and conserve them.

While it is not yet known when Yun Chuan and Xin Bao will come in San Diego, the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance and China Wildlife Conservation Association are hoping for a summer arrival.

China recalled almost all of its pandas that were on loan to zoos in the United States around five years ago after relations between the two countries soured.

Cooperation between China and the U.S. has led to the possibility of pandas returning to zoos, including the San Diego Zoo.

There is typically a $1 million per year fee paid by the zoos for two pandas and the money is used for China’s conservation efforts, according to a 2022 report by America’s Congressional Research Service.

China first gifted the U.S. with pandas in 1972, when two were sent to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.

and for being “divisive.”

Trustee Michael Allman also claimed that the district did not follow its usual course approval process regarding ethnic literature, stating that community members should have had a chance to review the course materials.

Marcus said the district followed its standard process when reviewing ethnic literature and clarified that elective and core subject

materials have different protocols. He also noted that no concerns were raised about the other approved courses, including rock music, screen printing 2, and math support, which went through the same process.

“I think it’s very important that we look at all of these courses with the same lens that we look at all of our courses,” Marcus said.

District officials also explained that ethnic literature differs greatly from the larger umbrella of ethnic studies required under As-

sembly Bill 101.

Under the 2021 state law, high schools must offer ethnic studies courses beginning in the 2025-26 school year. The class of 2030 will be the first group of students required to take at least one semester of ethnic studies in order to graduate.

Marcus said he looks forward to updating the board on the district’s implementation of ethnic studies.

“We are in the process of looking at, reviewing, exploring, meeting teachers, and allowing them to be creative and look at AB 101,” Marcus said.
