—

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors on May 2 voted to move forward with a special election to fill the District 4 seat being vacated by Supervisor Nathan Fletcher.

The board, previously voting for Fletcher’s immediate resignation amid sexual assault and harassment allegations from at least two women, unanimously approved the resolution to hold a special election to replace him.

According to county officials, if no candidate receives a majority vote in the Aug. 15 primary election, then a special general election will be held on Nov. 7.

The resolution will be formally presented during the board’s May 23 meeting.

Suit in bike death nears resolution

Family lawsuit over fatal collision enters settlement talks

By Kaila Mellos

ENCINITAS — Three years after cyclist Jennings Worley was fatally struck by a large commercial truck while riding his bike along Leucadia Boulevard, the parties in his family's wrongful death lawsuit have entered settlement negotiations, recent court filings show.

In November 2020, Worley, 62, was cycling westbound in a designated bike lane near the intersection of Leucadia Boulevard and Moonstone Court when the driver of a PODS Enterprises moving truck attempted to make a right turn, colliding with Worley and causing severe injuries that led to his death, according to court documents.

Share Gratitude & Happiness with Ohana Creations

No one can deny the power of flowers. And when those flowers are stunning orchids, fragrant plumerias, and exotic tropical species, it’s a power on a higher level.

Stephanie and Charles, the husband-and-wife team behind the OHANA CREATIONS name, opened their doors on Grand Avenue in Carlsbad Village nearly 25 years ago and have provided gorgeous bouquets, floral arrangements, leis, and more, to North San Diego County ever since. And with Stephanie’s Hawaiian heritage leading the way, Ohana’s has also come to be known as the place to go for leis.

“Leis are the symbol of Aloha,” Charles said. “The culture and history of a lei is that it is a gift from one person to another, sharing feelings of happiness, gratitude, and saying welcome.”

While OHANA CREATIONS is a full-service florist that can create everything from a jaw dropping bride’s bouquet to an inspired Get Well Soon arrangement, their custom leis are really quite something to see. Often worn during graduation ceremonies, their leis can be customized to match school colors, or a graduate’s favorite color, can be made from nearly any variety of flower (although orchids, plumerias and carnations are the most popular) and they even come in a Maile Style Ti Leaf or KuKui Nut lei for a more masculine touch. The options are numerous.

With Mother’s Day, the number one flower-giving holiday in America, less than two weeks away, OHANA CREATIONS is busy. But there is still time to get your order in! Each design is hand-crafted by one of the owners, their son, or granddaughter, guaranteeing that this family-owned and operated business will take the time to make that special someone in your life the perfect arrangement. Lavender roses, white lilies, yellow tulips, red proteas . . . the list goes on. And their island-inspired gifts like chocolate covered macadamia nuts from Hawaii, lotions, soaps, sweets, and candles also make an ideal gift.

But flowers are so much more than a lovely gesture. Businesses often say that fresh flower arrangements on the checkout counter or in an office waiting room make such a difference to their customers and clients. That’s why the OHANA CREATIONS flower subscription is such a popular item. Having a new and different fresh flower arrangement delivered to your place of business every other week, without even thinking about it, is as easy as it gets. The Ohana team delivers all throughout North San Diego County from Oceanside to Del Mar. And if you are eager to get that nephew or niece a custom graduation lei but they live in Michigan, don’t worry; OHANA CREATIONS ships nationwide and leis ship very well indeed!

Encinitas artist painting 70-foot mural on Shatto building

By Kaila Mellos

ENCINITAS

— The once cherished 100-year-old building that burnt down in a two-alarm fire over three years ago has been replaced by former tenant Jim Shatto with a modern structure featuring a sizeable exterior mural by local artist Kevin Anderson.

After months of hard work, the Shatto Building, located on the corner of Daphne Street and North Coast Highway 101, is nearing the finish line. The longtime Leucadia business owner is hopeful to open by July 1.

Before the fire, multiple tenants, including Shatto & Sons T-Shirts, Mozy Café, Cali Life and Peace Pies, resided in the building.

“The original building was over a hundred years old, and we were here in our family business for 44 years before it burned down,” Shatto said.

The family t-shirt busi-

ness will not be reopening at the new location, but Shatto has confirmed three tenants have already agreed to move into the building this summer. Peace Pies, Leucadia Barbershop, and a yet-to-bedetermined restaurant from

Encinitas-based entrepreneur Mario Guerra, owner of Corner Pizza, Moto Deli, and Valentina, will all be tenants in the new location.

Keim enters O’side mayor’s race

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

– Deputy Mayor Ryan Keim has announced his intentions to run for mayor in the 2024 election season.

Keim, who filed his intent to run for mayor on April 26, was first appointed to the City Council in early 2019 during the council’s transition from at-large seats to district elections. He was then elected to represent District 3 in 2020.

His current term, during which he was appointed as deputy mayor, will expire the same year that he intends to run for mayor in 2024.

Keim grew up in Oceanside and has been a resident for over 30 years,

now joined by his wife and daughter. While in college, he worked as a lifeguard at city pools before graduating from California State University San Marcos with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science.

to the building situated in the historic neighborhood. So Shatto commissioned his good friend and local artist Anderson to paint a 70foot mural on the side of the building facing the parking lot.

Anderson and Shat-

to have been friends for 40 years since Anderson painted waves on the front of the original building.

“We have a history. I used to cruise by and buy shirts for my wife, daughter, and friends from here,” Anderson said. “They had beautiful T-shirts, and everybody loved them.”

When asked what this painting meant to him, Anderson was honored to do it for such a good friend and paint such a huge space.

“This is kind of a culmination of me, where I’ve grown up, and the people I know around here,” Anderson said. “I feel good being here. This one’s even more spectacular than the first waves I painted 40 years ago. It’s quite an honor to be on a building this big with this kind of visibility for a friend.”

According to Anderson, the mural, based on a painting that first appeared in a calendar the artist previous-

ly released of his artwork, depicts a beach scene that is more fantasy than real life.

“Even if it wasn’t the greatest painting in the world, which it will be, the colors alone will attract people,” Anderson said. “This just has a special feel to it. I’ve always liked this one, and it’s one of my favorite paintings.”

Anderson is anticipating finishing the mural in about four weeks, just before the building’s grand opening.

“It’s a labor of love and passion. I get excited when I get up in the morning, and I want to come here to start painting,” Anderson said. “But I always think that it’s going to go quicker. Sometimes I have days where stuff takes a little longer to translate from the scale drawing to a larger format.”

The Shatto building is located at 696 N Coast Highway 101 and is set to open on July 1.

He formerly served as an Oceanside police officer for 10 years between 2006 and 2016, assigned to both the Neighborhood Policing Team and the Gang Suppression Unit.

Following an on-duty injury, Keim retired as a sworn officer and joined the San Diego Sheriff’s Department as its primary spokesperson for several years. Now, he focuses his full-time attention as deputy mayor.

“In order to be effective I really need to be here full-time during business hours,” Keim said.

Keim has three top priorities he would like to tackle as mayor: curbing homelessness and crime; replenishing beaches, and local control.

California housing law helps new homebuyers

By Toni Atkins

May is the month when we honor all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice while wearing the uniforms of our nation’s military.

As someone who is proud to come from a military family and to represent an amazing military district, Memorial Day is one of the most special and significant days of the year for me.

May also is AAPI Heritage Month, when we celebrate the contributions of our Asian American and Pacific Islander communities here in San Diego and throughout California.

Say 'yes' to get help

By Richard Bailey

Previously, I stated that San Diego’s comeback to “America’s Finest” must begin by addressing the homeless issue.

Across the country, the number of homeless is lower today than ten years ago; however, the number of homeless increased by 40% over that same period.

The claim that the laack of affordable housing and good weather explain this massive increase in homelessness is easily refuted by data from other states with good weather and high median home prices, with homeless rates three to four times lower than in California.

So, if housing affordability and weather do not explain the rise in homelessness, what does? It’s the policies.

Beginning in 2014 with the passage of Proposition 47, the state reduced penalties for many crimes, including reducing public drug use to a misdemeanor.

Before 2014, if someone was publicly using meth, heroin, or fentanyl, that individual could be arrested, taken off the streets, and referred to a rehabilitation facility – but not today.

Now, they are usually left on the streets, where they are preyed upon by drug dealers and other criminal elements that take advantage of their vulnerable state.

While it’s true that the vast majority of people that enter the homeless

service system do not have substance abuse issues, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, over 80% of chronically homeless struggle with drug and alcohol abuse.

The chronically homeless are defined as those that have been on the street for more than a year and are who we commonly think of when we hear the term “homeless.”

When these policies enable a personally destructive lifestyle which is often financed through petty crime, combined with fewer police officers working patrols, the surrounding neighborhoods become unsafe and dirty for the general public.

And this is the main point that our region and state are missing — city leaders have a civic and moral responsibility to provide access to the resources necessary to help struggling community members get back on their feet.

However, city leaders also have an obligation to the larger community to make sure public spaces, including sidewalks and parks, are safe and clean for all of us to enjoy.

The region and state have failed to achieve this dual responsibility.

We must make saying “yes” to getting help and off the streets the only acceptable answer through a coordinated, regionwide approach that connects those wanting help with available resources and a unified standard of enforcement, which must include

prosecuting misdemeanors to protect the quality of life for the broader community.

The steps in this process should look like this:

Create a dashboard that tracks the total number and type of shelter beds, their location, and availability in real-time so all government agencies in the county know precisely how many beds are available on any given night.

The county should serve as the homeless shelter clearinghouse for the region, so all the cities can contract through a single source and have access to all available shelter beds.

As long as help is of-

We also stand with our AAPI community against the alarming and hateful acts that continue to impact our neighbors, and commit ourselves to working toward a future for AAPI communities that is free from hate, and inclusive and equitable for all.

Last year, I proposed the California Dream for All Program to allow California to partner with first time homebuyers to expand homeownership and be another tool to chip away at California’s housing shortage.

The program is off to an incredible and inspir-

ing start — during the first two weeks of it its launch, more than 2,400 first-time homebuyers were helped with their down payments.

That rapid response, and resulting use of the $300 million in funding currently identified, is a testament to just how critical this program is for California families — especially those who historically have faced systemic barriers to home ownership — and the need to continue to fund the program.

The 2022-23 state budget appropriated $500 million for the program, but the remaining $200 million has not yet been released.

I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Legislature and the Governor to release the additional $200 million appropriated in the 2022-23 budget for the program.

I also plan to work to secure more state funding and explore additional private sector options to bolster the program and help even more families achieve the dream of home ownership.

The failures of Housing First

By Jim Desmond

Why are we seeing more and more homeless people on the streets? It's a question every San Diegan is asking themselves. Despite billions of dollars being spent, why is the problem only worsening? One of the biggest reasons is the state's approach, Housing First.

state has doubled down on Housing First, despite its repeated failures. State and federal funding comes with requirements to be housing first only.

fered to help people get off the streets, cities should collectively agree to enforce quality-of-life laws that help maintain safe and clean public spaces. We can’t solve homelessness, but we can do a better job of connecting people that want help with help.

And we can certainly do a better job maintaining clean and safe public spaces for the surrounding communities.

San Diego used to be America’s finest. Check out SanDiegoComeback.com to learn more about this and other policy changes to help the San Diego region make a comeback.

Richard Bailey is the mayor of Coronado. This is a follow-up to his commentary on San Diego County’s homeless crisis, “Time for San Diego’s Comeback.”

Housing First prioritizes immediate, “low barrier” access to housing for those living on the streets. While this may sound like an admirable mission, the requirements for living in housing are … nothing! There aren’t any requirements for conditions or milestones such as sobriety or compliance with treatment. This may work well for a family or individuals who have a sudden loss of income and need a place to temporarily get back on their feet. But for individuals with drug or alcohol addiction or significant mental health challenges, or (too often) all of the above, rules, support and structure are needed.

Today, nearly 1 in 3 homeless people live in California. Housing First is a significant reason why numbers have continued to rise in California. Rather than shift gears and look for a new solution, or a more complete menu of options and approaches, the

We have some fantastic local organizations that can truly help the homeless with treatment, services, support and housing to get them back on their feet. One such organization is Solutions for Change, a North County service provider.

Unfortunately, their government funding was pulled because they would not allow people to use drugs and alcohol in their program.

The reality is that homelessness will continue to grow unless state politicians change their Housing First mindset and address the root causes such as drug and alcohol abuse and mental illness.

Data shows three in four people sleeping on sidewalks or in tents under overpasses are there mainly because they suffer from drug addiction and mental illness. It's not a housing problem; it's a government problem. Politicians need to change their mindset if they genuinely want to help those suffering on the street.

Supervisor Jim Desmond represents District 5 on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

Before 2014, if someone was publicly using meth, heroin or fentanyl, that individual could be arrested, taken off the streets and referred to a rehabilitation facility — but not today.

O’side teacher shares recent trip to Antarctica

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — Oceanside High School photography teacher Justin

Moodie had always wanted to travel to Antarctica.

In February, Moodie was one of a few educators to embark on a 16-day excursion across Antarctica through the Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship program, a professional development opportunity for educators in partnership with Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic Society.

The once-in-a-lifetime trek was the result of Moodie's teaching framework expanding to encompass global issues in the classroom.

Teaching photography in the Career Technical Education Pathway at Oceanside High School, Moodie’s classes often take off-campus field trips for students to shoot photos in an urban landscape.

But beyond exploring the local world, Moodie began incorporating polar science into his curriculum.

Viasat launches high-speed satellite

tionary orbit.

By Jordan P. Ingram CARLSBAD

— Carlsbad-based Viasat successfully launched the first in a trio of high-speed broadband satellites aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket on April 30 from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The $90 million launch of Viasat-3 Americas — expected to deliver customers in North and South America with at least 1-terabit (1,000 Gbps) of data per second for faster download and upload speeds — was originally scheduled for April 18, but undisclosed delays kept pushing back the global communications company’s highly anticipated liftoff.

Severe thunderstorms, lightning strikes and tornado warnings near Cape Canaveral grounded the rocket again on April 28, prompting crews to conduct safety inspections of the gear and rocket payload.

At approximately 8:26 p.m. EDT, a Falcon Heavy rocket, one of the world’s most powerful operational launch vehicles equipped with 27 Merlin engines generating more than 5 million pounds of thrust, started its journey helping carry Viasat-3 Americas into geosta-

“Today’s successful launch of ViaSat-3 Americas opens a new chapter in Viasat’s growth,” said Mark Dankberg, Viasat’s chairman and CEO. “This first Americas satellite will multiply our available bandwidth, and enable faster speeds and more coverage - especially for our mobility customers. It’s not just a new satellite, it’s a new way to build broadband satellites. Thanks so much to all our people, and our partners, for their commitment and dedication to getting this done.”

Approximately 4.5 hours after liftoff, the satellite separated from the SpaceX launch vehicle and the satellite's first signals were acquired shortly after through a ground station in South Korea, Viasat officials reported.

Dankberg told SpaceNews that the Viasat-3 Americas satellite is expected to reach its final geostationary orbit position in approximately three weeks. The company expects another two to three months for health checks before bringing the service customers.

The first two satellites, Viasat-3 Americas and Viasat-3 EMEA, will cover the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The second satellite, ViaSat-3 EMEA, is now in environmental testing in Boeing's El Segundo, California factory,

according to a company release.

The third satellite, Viasat-3 APAC, is now undergoing final payload integration and testing at Viasat's facility in Tempe, Arizona, and will focus on the Asia Pacific region, completing Viasat's global service coverage.

Officials have said both ViaSat-3 EMEA and ViaSat-3 APAC remain on schedule, “with the launch of ViaSat-3 EMEA expected during the summer of 2023.”

This past weekend’s successful launch comes after the city’s largest employer laid off 4% of its global workforce, including 72 workers at its Carlsbad headquarters, due to the company’s recent shift to global broadband expansion.

In early April, Viasat filed Worker Retraining and Adjustment Notification Act paperwork earlier this month, trimming its staff as it prepares for its upcoming Viasat-3 satellite launch, as previously reported by The Coast News.

The company also sold one of its most profitable business units — the Link 16 Tactical Data Links — to defense contractor and technology company L3 Harris for $2 billion. Viasat recently acquired Inmarsat, a British satellite telecommunications company, for $6 billion.

“It really started as a personal passion and realization that young people may hear these stories about icebergs the size of Rhode Island breaking off near the poles, but they have a hard time contextualizing that information,” Moodie said. “My mission is to help them understand these places.”

Moodie had previously enrolled in the National Geographic Educator Certification course, a free online resource to help teachers expand the scope of their curriculums to include storytelling, global citizenship, and activism — all concepts that Moodie was already applying to the classroom.

And Moodie’s curriculum was exactly what the fellowship was looking for, sending him with his camera on the trip of a lifetime to the world's southernmost continent.

Traveling to the planet’s least-populated continent did not include a breezy, nonstop flight.

Since there are typically no regular passenger flights to the South Pole, Moodie first had to get to Ushuaia, Argentina, located on the southernmost tip of South America. From there, Moodie traveled aboard the National Geographic Explorer passenger vessel through the Drake Passage, a tempestuous body of water where the Atlantic and Pacific oceans converge somewhere between South America and Antarctica's South Shetland Islands.

The Drake Passage has an average depth of 11,150 feet and is known to produce wave heights of approximately 30 feet.

Once they arrived in the Antarctic Peninsula, Moodie and the exploration team embarked each day onto a new beach – a thrilling experience by itself each

time.

Before the trip, Moodie felt he knew quite a bit about his dream destination before arriving there. But this trip opened his eyes to new realizations about Antarctica.

“I had this very all-encompassing vision of what Antarctica would look like, but every day on the trip defied that vision,” Moodie said. “Every beach was so different from the last, and every day the continent had something different to show me – rock colors, ice formations, waves and even the weather were all different… and of course the wildlife was super interesting too.”

While in Antarctica, Moodie experienced a nearly 60-degree range of weather conditions in Antarctica, dropping as low as -30 degrees and rising as high as 30 degrees Fahrenheit, with a mixture of rain, snow, sun, and clouds.

Upon his return to the classroom, Moodie shared his experiences in Antarctica with students, faculty and just about anyone interested in his travels.

Beyond sharing photos

and details about his trip, Moodie said he can also speak to the impact the world's climate crisis is having on Antarctica.

“The Antarctic Peninsula is warming faster than any other part of the world,” he said. “If you go down there on a 20-degree or warmer day, you might think it feels nice, but then at the same time, the penguins are suffering, the ice is melting, and the same goes for all the other life –not just what we can see on land but also in the ocean.”

Moodie believes that every class should be teaching issues related to the climate.

“We’re fooling ourselves if we’re not taking it more seriously,” Moodie said. “It’s quite possible that everything we’re teaching our students becomes less significant if there’s not a world in which they can apply that learning… The climate projections aren’t great, and we need an allhands-on deck approach to address it, so I would like to see the conversation happening everywhere so that we can’t ignore it.”

Surf Cup Sports cited for violating Clean Water Act

By Laura Place DEL

MAR

— Leaders of San Diego youth soccer organizer Surf Cup Sports have been cited for illegally redirecting stormwater at their property just north of the soccer fields along Via de la Valle and into environmentally sensitive areas leading to the San Dieguito River.

On March 16, the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a violation notice to Surf Real Estate, Surf Cup Sports and Surf Del Mar One — all limited liability companies registered to Surf Cup vice president Rob Haskell — for illegally pumping dirty water on their property at 3975 Via de la Valle in December and January.

The notice also included a citation for channeling stormwater via a constructed trench through a marsh area running directly along El Camino Real at the west end of the property that leads to the river.

The affected area, known as a swale, included sensitive wetland plant species and is owned by the 22nd District Agricultural Association.

Surf Cup purchased the 24-acre site known as the Milan property last year, using it partly as a parking lot and keeping it otherwise vacant. It borders the Del Mar polo fields directly south, which Surf leases from the city of San Diego for youth soccer operations, and is considered to be protected

“Given the historical use of [the site] as a vehicle parking lot, the stormwater runoff for the parcel likely contains pollutants such as metals and vehicle fluids like fuel and lubricants,” the notice stated.

Discharging water in this manner constitutes a

“That had to do with the terrific amounts of rain that we received a few weeks back, and we were trying to figure out what to do with it. That property just gets hammered, because it’s at the bottom of the hill, and it just gets everybody else’s water,” the representative said. “The violations are something we have to deal with, and mistakes that we made, and we’re fixing them ... it's all moving forward positively.”

The regional board learned about the situation from members of the public as well as the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which also owns the Del Mar Horsepark across El Camino Real and complained via the California Department of Justice.

A Surf representative said the property filled with water as a result of heavy rains this past winter, and

This marks the second time that Surf Cup leaders have been instructed to stop illegally redirecting water onto 22nd DAA property.

Back in 2019, the state Attorney General’s Office Surf Cup issued Surf Cup a ceaseand-desist letter for pumping stormwater into the river from the polo fields they currently lease.

Surf was first cited for a lack of erosion control measures and stormwater “best management practices” on the Milan property back in October by the City of San Diego.

OVER 450 vendors, including those selling handmade goods and art, showed up for the two-day event that attracted thousands of attendees.

Encinitas 101 hosts 38th Spring Street Fair

By Kaila Mellos ENCINITAS

— This past weekend, the annual closing of Highway 101 from D Street to J Street occurred for the 38th annual Spring Street Fair in Encinitas.

Over 450 vendors, from food to made goods to art to live music, were there for the thousands of people who attended the free event.

Ting Internet was the presenting sponsor for the family-friendly event on Saturday and Sunday.

Along with all the vendors, the Spring Street Fair had a Beer Garden and Hansen's Community Stage, where 21 musicians and young musicians from Encinitas School of Rock and Devine Guitar School played live music to entertain the masses.

Attendees who rode bikes to the event also had the opportunity to use Electra's Bike Valet stations since parking would be harder to come by than usual over the weekend.

The Encinitas 101

Mainstreet Association hosts the event every year for both spring and fall.

Irene Pyun, executive director of Encinitas 101, spoke on how thankful she was to see such a big turnout this past weekend for the businesses and booths that were part of the event.

“It is an incredible feeling because, with COVID, we almost didn’t make it, and so there would’ve not been any more of our community events,” Pyun said.

“We’re just so grateful for the support we received through our membership, all the downtown businesses that saw the value in us bringing these community events, and how it brings people, thousands of people downtown.

“We certainly would not have been here without their support, so it's a big accomplishment for our downtown community. We rallied to support each other and ensure that many of us made it through.”

"The 22nd District Agricultural Association was made aware of the stormwater pumping onto its land in January 2023. The District takes environmental stewardship very seriously and is working with the Regional Water Quality Control Board to ensure a resolu-

In a civil penalty from the city’s code division, Surf was instructed to “eliminate the potential for a discharge of sediments and other pollutants in and adjacent to native habitat and properties” and to also cease unpermitted grading on the site. Just months earlier in May 2022, the city had issued a penalty to Surf for unpermitted grading and filling on the Milan property as well as allowing tournament parking onsite.

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —

Planning Commission approved the 533,700 square foot project on April 24, which consists of 497,000 square feet of research and development facilities and 35,800 square feet of commercial space.

Nine conditional use permits were required as part of the approval for the research and development facilities and their onsite manufacturing, handling and storage of hazardous materials as well as the gas station, convenience store and car wash, and the drive-thru restaurants.

The Planning Commission voted 6-1 to approve the development plan and conditional use permits for the project with Commissioner Kevin Dodds opposed.

The new development will fill the space designated as the Oceanside Boulevard Commercial (OBC) area in the El Corazon Specific Plan along Oceanside Boulevard.

Sudberry Development, the company responsible for developing El Corazon, purchased the 51.1 acres of vacant commercial land along Oceanside Boulevard last year for the project free of charge. Sudberry is also the developer of the new Frontwave Arena currently under construction.

While the city did not receive any payment for the land as per its Commercial DDA agreement with Sud-

berry, the city can expect an estimated annual economic benefit of about $710,000 with the new businesses projected to create 784 new jobs.

Of that amount, approximately $395,000 will be annual tax revenue for the city.

The largest research and development building with a proposed 251,500 square feet of space will house Ionis Pharmaceuticals, which will generate about 200 new jobs – most of which will hold six-figure incomes.

The project will include 1,647 total parking spaces with each facility having its own parking lot and shared commercial parking for the commercial buildings.

Two new traffic signals will also be installed, one at Oceanside Boulevard and Village Commercial Drive and another at Village Commercial Drive and a road currently marked as “Private Drive” within the development plans.

The project will include walkways throughout, new bike lanes along Village Commercial and South El Corazon Drive and a new bus stop along Rancho Del Oro Drive.

The commercial buildings will be designed with Irving Gill-style elements mixed with mission-style roof lines and Spanish tile, while the research buildings will feature a contemporary style with glazed windows, metal accents and horizontal siding.

Staff found the project to be consistent with the El Corazon Specific Plan and other city zoning ordinances.

Despite staff’s findings, several community members remain concerned

about the project’s environmental and traffic impacts.

Tom Lichterman, chairman of the Oceanside Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee, said the presence of four drive-thru restaurants does not reflect the vision statement or sustainability guidelines of the El Corazon Specific Plan.

“Instead of having a pedestrian-friendly development, this is highly automobile-oriented,” he said.

City Planner Sergio

Madera said the goal of the commercial project is to provide enough revenue for future development and maintenance in the park.

“Like it or not, drive-thru restaurants are high sales tax generators, gas stations are high sales tax generators, so if we’re looking to meet the intent of the OBC which is to provide revenue for future park development and maintenance, this project checks that box,” Madera said.

Three research and development buildings, four drive-thru restaurants and a gas station with a car wash are in El Corazon’s future to help fund the park’s remaining development and maintenance needs.

Yes, I love you too ask mr. marketing

rob weinberg

As a recovering New Yorker, my skin’s pretty thick. These columns satisfy my urge to share, and after 17 years I know I won’t please everyone.

Over time I’ve been called some pretty ripe names. Most criticisms roll off my back, and at least I know folks are reading my thoughts.

Occasionally I’d also get love letters. This reassured me that I’m having a positive impact on people’s lives and that I’d connected with my audience.

Last year I published two columns that still generate thank-you notes on a daily basis.

Interestingly, these columns have a common thread. Both were written about companies looking to fleece business professionals out of under $250. These amounts are small enough that few will go after the offender to recoup the loss. Cumulatively, though, their ill-gotten gains create a tidy sum for the wrongdoer.

You can read the articles about Boardsi (www. marketbuilding.com/blog/ boardsi) and Corporate Processing Service (www. marketbuilding.com/ blog/501-llc) yourself, so I won’t belabor the points previously made. But it’s the steady and enthusiastic stream of appreciation that impresses me.

My attitude is this

column carries with it a responsibility to alert the public to fraudulent behavior. So after doing comprehensive research, I dutifully shared my findings about these charlatans.

By all indications, I’ve apparently helped thousands of professionals to avoid being fleeced.

Today’s technology encourages seemingly everyone to be a writer, a reporter and a pundit. Regardless of whether they have the skills, the smarts or the facts, millions are typing whatever comes to mind. They cast it into the ozone, impervious to the impact their words may have.

And far be it from me to stifle anyone’s opinion. However, these reactions demonstrate that well-written, fact-based advice can add value to people’s lives long after it’s been published.

Yup, even after you’ve moved on, your advice can have a significant half-life.

Regardless of what you sell, you can use blogs, newsletters, white papers and press releases to get the word out, help others, and lure prospective clientele to your business.

And if you invest time and effort into exposing subjects your target audience can truly benefit from, you too may find yourself receiving positive feedback long after you’ve forgotten what you wrote.

And who knows what other doors that may open for you.

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

Mayor, council deliver State of the City address

By Kaila Mellos ENCINITAS

In a departure from previous years, Mayor Tony Kranz and members of the Encinitas City Council took turns addressing a roomful of local business leaders and residents on April 27 for the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce’s annual State of the City address, shining a light on the community’s recent successes and future goals.

—

The event, held at the Encinitas Community Center, was focused was on community connections and how much change there has been over the past year in the “city of creators.” The annual event saw a change of venue after several years of holding the event at the Alila Marea Beach Resort.

David DaCosta, chairman of the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce board of directors, opened the night by recognizing all the event sponsors and supporters, along with the numerous food vendors there giving out bites of local cuisine.

“We are all aware that the State of the City is a very special night. It brings a community together, and tonight is no exception,” DaCosta said.

Before any speakers began, Reverend Christian Sorensen of the Seaside Center for Spiritual Living led a moment of gratitude. The reverend spoke in front of the large meeting room, expressing his hope for change to continue under community leaders.

Kranz followed by taking the stage to speak on the developments that have happened in the past few months since taking office. In a first-of-its-kind State of the City, Kranz allowed all council members and the Mainstreet 101 Associations to speak beside him with updates on their districts and action plans.

“I’m honored to be able to work alongside each of you for the betterment of our city, and I’m so proud of the work that we’ve been able to do together,” Kranz said. “But let it be known that the

by Courteney’s family, which has raised over $38,000 for funeral costs, describes Courteney as “a living angel” and Amaya as “our family’s guiding light.”

Courteney and her family moved to San Marcos from Illinois as a young teen. She attended local schools, including Woodland Park Middle School, High Tech High and Escondido Charter High School, according to a social media post by her mother, Barbara Taylor.

She earned her associate of arts degree from Palomar College and was a few weeks from graduating with a bachelor’s degree in sociology when she died.

“We are shattered by the loss of our beautiful, funny, kind, and loving daughter Courteney and her smart, full of life and laughter, gentle, and beautiful 4-year-old daughter, Amaya,” Barba-

actual work is done by the City Manager, Pamela Antil, and her team with Assistant Manager Jennifer Campbell, the department heads, and the wonderful staff who truly exemplify what public service is and should be.”

The mayor continued to speak on the theme of “The City of Creators,” mentioning the Ecke family helping build Encinitas into what it is today with a dream of a poinsettia field and the help of millions in funding to many different facets of the community.

“Thanks to all who have contributed, and the more than 1700 doctors, nurses, and support staff who provide critical medical care to the patients who use the hospital,” Kranz said. “They are all creating an environment for a healthier community.”

Kranz also addressed the housing issue that will start taking place in the heart of the city.

“In one of the most storied parts of our city, that central core, Encinitas Boulevard, Saxony, Quail Gardens Drive, and Leucadia Boulevard is an important development,” Kranz said. “That is a result of our housing element update being approved by the state. There are about a thousand units of multi-family housing that are being built in that same

area.”

In addition to housing, Kranz and other council members spoke about mobility improvements as one of the city’s top priorities to help maintain safety for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.

Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes discussed local environmental and mobility improvements. Following Arbor Day Celebrations this past weekend, Lyndes mentioned the city’s efforts to plant more trees and protect existing ones through a heritage tree program.

The City Council has also been working on a habitat stewardship program that has completed three sub-watersheds, with a fourth one this year in the top priorities.

Along with these projects in District 3, Lyndes looks forward to completing multiple other projects like the Birmingham Drive project, which is almost ready for funding, and the Sante Fe Road improvements, which are going up for construction bid. The city is also seeking funding from the Federal Railroad Administration for the Verdi Bike and Pedestrian Rail Undercrossing Project to improve east-west connectivity.

Accompanying these mobility projects, around

$50,000 was added to the Cardiff Shoreline Preservation project, which has already received around $3.6 million.

Councilmember Kellie Hinze covered four major achievements from the past year: The El Portal Undercrossing, Streetscape: phase one, the Pacific View Com-

munity Art Center opening, and a sand replenishment program with its first installment only a couple of months away.

Hinze said these projects are a way for the community to come together and safely explore everything Encinitas has to offer.

“We’ve widened the sidewalks, lowered the speeds, and dedicated the bike lanes,” Hinze said. “We have shady trees that unite our communities on the east and west side of the train to make safe, reasonable travel between our schools, beaches, beloved businesses, and farmers’ markets. It’s our lifeblood; it’s historic Highway 101.”

Councilmember Bruce Ehlers spoke about opening two trails in his district, along with major repaving projects he hopes will get done soon.

Ehlers also focused on updating traffic safety measures for District 4. As for the El Camino Real Plan and housing element, Ehlers hopes changes will be done with a light, slow hand

to avoid stress to existing neighborhoods and to keep intact the charm of New Encinitas.

The newest council member, Allison Blackwell, spoke primarily on infrastructure in District 1. Blackwell hopes to tackle Beacon’s Beach parking lot and plans to use some of the $4 million in federal funding to tackle longstanding drainage issues in Leucadia.

Sherry Yardley, CEO of the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce, spoke on the organization’s efforts to form connections and strengthen the community, noting multiple events hosted for members to meet each other and network.

Closing out the addresses, Kranz reiterated his commitment to the city.

“I think that what’s most important about tonight’s event is that you leave knowing that we live in a place that is the greatest place on earth with some of the best people,” Kranz said. “I will continue to serve as your mayor focused on enhancing our quality of life.”

Carlsbad native reflects on MLB pitching career

By David Willauer LAKE ELSINORE —

After three seasons in Major League Baseball, pitcher Tom Eshelman called it a career after being released by the San Diego Padres in October 2022.

Although Eshelman announced his retirement as a player on Dec. 5, 2022, he was lucky not to have to leave baseball altogether. Just over one month later, on Jan. 11, he was hired as pitching coach of the California League’s Lake Elsinore Storm, the Single-A affiliate of the Padres.

Although the 28-yearold Eshelman appeared in only 31 career MLB games, he positively reflected on the highs and lows as he reached the pinnacle of the sport.

SDA honors Student-Athletes of the Year

By Kaila Mellos

ENCINITAS — Casey

Currie and Shea Leonard, two San Dieguito Academy senior athletes, have been chosen as Student-Athletes of the Year by faculty and staff. Both students have been playing three sports for their high school careers while maintaining their high standards of academic life as well.

Currie, who has always been involved in sports, whether club or school sports, enjoys being part of a team and playing all different games. This year, she was involved with cross country, soccer, lacrosse, and some time on the surf team.

“Growing up, I’ve always played sports. I was from the Bay Area, in Pleasanton, so it’s in the middle of nowhere,” Currie said. “Joining sports teams was just what you did; I played soccer, lacrosse, and basketball. But in high school, I wanted to be involved with school sports. Sports have been a positive outlet for me. I’ve always been able to

find happiness or get whatever I had going on out on the field, and it will always be a safe space for me.”

When Currie learned she would be recognized as a student-athlete of the year, she was shocked.

“It does feel really good because it’s recognition for a lot of hard work that I put in over time,” Currie said. “But I didn’t have that as my end goal to get an award. I just wanted to play sports, be active, and meet new people.”

Leonard has played the same three sports since freshman year: cross-country, soccer, and track. He has put in a lot of work on teams and has been part of teams that have made it to state over the past four years.

“I don’t have a favorite sport; they all have something different to offer,” Leonard said.

“What I like about soccer is all like the little moments. For example, this year, setting records with my team was amazing. We made it to state and ranked first in San Diego. It was en-

joyable to be a part of that. I like running track and cross country because comparing your times and working to see improvement motivates me. Soccer sneaks up on you, but you can see your improvements by putting in the work and time. So it’s cool to see that your work’s paying off.”

Currie hopes seeing a female and male student-athlete will inspire other lower-class students to try out for sports and work towards this recognition. It is a great way to be involved with school and meet people you form friendships with, according to Currie.

“I feel like it’s also good for younger people to see that there are a female and a male athlete of the year this time because it makes it more achievable for and just something fun to do for younger students who might not be completely involved with school sports yet,” Currie said.

“I’ve always wanted people to be involved because it’s so much fun. You

meet so many fun people. I’ve met some of my best friends through the soccer, lacrosse, and surf team.”

Both know of each other and are friends on and off the field. They two have connected on cross country, along with having similar classes. Each is just excited as the other that they get to be honored next to each other.

“He deserves it 100%. And so I’m super excited for him, and I think he’s thrilled for me. We’re friends, so being happy and supportive of each other is easy,” Currie said.

“I honestly knew she was going to get the award,” Leonard said. “She’s such an amazing athlete, so I’m honored to be a part of it with her. It’s cool to be with someone working since freshman year, just like you. So it’s cool to share that moment with her. So having her right there with me is really fun and enjoyable.”

After four years of playing the sports they love, they will be recognized at an event on May 15.

Eshelman, a Carlsbad native, pitched and played behind the plate for Carlsbad High School. In his senior season, he was named to the California Interscholastic Federation First Team and helped lead the Lancers to the CIF championship game before falling to El Camino.

Despite his high school accomplishments, Eshelman was not selected in the 2012 MLB draft and decided to lend his pitching skills to the Titans of Cal State Fullerton. As a freshman in 2013, Eshelman didn’t walk a batter through 63½ innings and ended the season with only three walks in 115 2/3 innings to set the NCAA Division I record (0.23) for walks per nine innings.

“In my freshman year, I had one of those unbelievable seasons that everyone has in their career,” Eshelman said. But not many have had a college career like Eshelman had at Cal Fullerton, where he was a three-time Baseball America All-American selection.

“He just threw the ball where he wanted when he wanted,” said Rick Vanderhook, Eshelman’s coach at

Cal State Fullerton. “Some guys go up and throw 100 (mph) and get hit, and some guys pitch. He is a pitcher, in every term of it.”

In 2015, Eshelman was drafted by the Houston Astros with the 46th overall pick. He appeared in four games in the low minor leagues for the Astros. But the Houston system was deep, and that December, he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies.

“To be drafted by an organization like Houston with a lot of prospects was humbling … then I was traded to the Phillies,” Eshelman said.

In the Phillies organization, Eshelman moved up quickly, playing with the single-A Clearwater Threshers and AA Reading Fightin Phils in 2016, then starring with the AAA Lehigh Valley IronPigs in 2017, compiling a 10-3 win-loss record with a 2.23 ERA.

Named the IronPigs’ Pitcher of the Year, Eshelman found himself at spring training with the big league club the following year, on the cusp of making the Phillies for the

Horse with local ties in Derby card race

By Steve Puterski CARLSBAD

— A Carlsbad farmer and small business owner is anxiously awaiting his 6-year-old gelding's opportunity to compete for a $1 million purse in a May 6 turf stakes race immediately preceding this year’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.

Majority owner Jimmy Ukegawa, of Carlsbad, along with minority owners Scott Anastasi and Tony Valazza of Los Angeles, will watch from the stands in Louisville as their thoroughbred, Hong Kong Harry, riding under legendary jockey Flavien Prat, hits the Matt Winn Turf Course for nine furlongs in the Old Forester Bourbon Turf Classic.

The race, slated as the final contest before the Kentucky Derby, posts at 2:27 p.m. on NBC.

“We’re really excited to be going out there,” Ukegawa said. “It’s a very competitive race. Harry had a terrific workout today (May 1). The horse can run all day and just loves it. We’ve never had a horse with this much personality.”

Ukegawa and his fellow co-owners purchased Harry for less than $150,000 during the pandemic. At the time, the chestnut-brown racehorse, bred by Amaranth Business Management from the Gold Away mare Vital Body, already had an impressive resume, winning four of seven races in England.

After traveling to the U.S. in 2022, Harry joined trainer Phil D’Amato in Southern California, running under jockeys Ramon Vasquez and Paul Hanagan. And it was D’Amato, a trainer with the most wins in Santa Anita history, who discovered cracks in Harry's hooves.

According to Ukegawa, once D'Amato and his blacksmith treated his hooves, Harry started running at a higher level, showing off his outsized personality.

Instead, Eshelman experienced his first career setback, going 2-13 with a 5.84 ERA in 2018 at Lehigh Valley. Those struggles carried over into 2019 and he was traded in June 2019 to the Baltimore Orioles.

Despite the struggles, Eshelman has good memories from his four years in the Phillies organization.

“I played for the Phillies for four years and I had my ups and downs,” he said. “I was in the wedding of two Phillies players who I keep in touch with, and I met a lot of great people. 2017 was my best year as I started the AAA All-Star game.”

The lawsuit, filed on April 13 in Vista Superior Court by the Fairbanks Polo Club Homeowners Association, alleges the city has allowed youth soccer operator Surf Cup Sports to hold activities at the 80-acre site, previously used as the Del Mar polo fields, far beyond what the site’s grant deed allows.

“The Baltimore Orioles had a special place in my heart with a great class organization where I have met a lot of great people,” Eshelman said. But he admitted there were tough times playing for a struggling franchise.

“While with the Birds, I’ve had some rough years and struggles. When the stadium sells out, it is a great place to pitch for the fans are in the game and know what is going on.”

Although his MLB career was not as long or as accomplished as he might have hoped, Eshelman looks back fondly on his time as a professional pitcher.

Garden hosts

Farm-to-Table dinner event

By Kaila Mellos ENCINITAS

– Over

15 years ago, Gordon Smith, President and Founder of the Encinitas Community Garden, started his journey to get Encinitas a community garden.

Now, eight years after opening its gates, the garden is hosting its fourth annual Farm-ToTable dinner event on May 28 to celebrate all it has done, with proceeds going back to growing it.

On a two-acre plot of land that the Encinitas Union School District owns, 120 plots fill the grounds for residents to use either $90 yearly for a smaller plot or $180 annually for a larger plot.

The yearly fee includes the space (including a greenhouse), water, a tool shed, and help from the surrounding gardening community. Residents who rent space have all levels of experience and learn from one another as seasons come and go with all different types of produce. There are currently open spots in the garden that are looking for occupants.

In recent years, the garden has become even more important to residents of Encinitas as people have become more interested in growing their food and living sustainably. During the pandemic, the garden saw a considerable pickup in interest as people were looking for connections to their neighbors.

"During Covid, it was amazing that people could come here and escape being locked down," Smith said.

"People were able to come and work with their gardens and have a little bit of interaction with people. You could ask any gardener back there at that time. It was to get out of the house and play in their plots."

The Farm-To-Table dinner on May 28 from 3 to 7 p.m. is an opportunity for the non-profit to raise money to help refresh the garden, maintain what they have built in the past eight years, and maybe add to it.

"We have food from Q'ero Chef Monica Szepesy and music from singer Roman Palacios," Smith said. "It's just a fundraiser to raise money for maintaining the plots and the garden as a whole and to have a good time."

The fundraiser typically sees around 100 people purchase tickets to attend, and it has sold out in the past. Tickets are available on the Encinitas Community Garden website and are sold for $100 or $80 for garden members. Wine, beverages, and dessert are included in the dinner service price.

Dutch Bros opening two Escondido locations

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO —

Dutch Bros Coffee contin-

ues its expansion into San Diego County with plans to open two Escondido locations by the year’s end.

The popular Oregon-based drive-thru coffee company has been spreading its reach southwards over the last few years, having recently opened the county's first location in Oceanside last year.

Escondido is lined up for the county’s next two Dutch Bros locations, one on the east side of town at 2365 East Valley Parkway, where a former dental office was located and the other at 507 West Washington Avenue, which is currently home to the Rancho Las Palmas Mexican Grill.

While the city’s Planning Commission has already approved both locations, construction

Local combat veteran confronts PTSD stigmas

By Samantha Nelson REGION — Post-trau-

matic stress disorder is a highly misunderstood illness that approximately 6% of the United States population experiences at least once in their lifetimes.

For the many service members and veterans who struggle with PTSD, asking for help can be a challenge due to the stigmas often associated with the illness and its debilitating symptoms.

“You don’t have control over your own biological functions and it starts to snowball,” said retired Marine Corps Maj. Robert O’Berg, who was diagnosed with PTSD a few years ago. “I’d get between four and five hours of sleep with sleeping meds, and it creates this cycle where the following day you’re groggy, irritable, and not pleasant to be around.”

Post-traumatic stress disorder typically occurs following a shocking, often life-threatening event. While anyone can be diagnosed with PTSD, the Department of Veteran Affairs states that veterans, especially those who have experienced combat, are more likely to suffer from the disorder than the average civilian due to their frequent exposure to potentially traumatic events.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, most people who experience traumatic events don’t develop chronic PTSD, but those who do experience a variety of symptoms such as flashbacks, bad dreams, insomnia, frightening thoughts, self-isolation, avoiding reminders of the event, being easily startled, feeling on edge, angry outbursts, loss of interest in things, nega-

tive thoughts about oneself and memory loss about the event.

Overcoming fear

Serving on multiple deployments during his nearly 20-year military career, O’Berg said he sustained several physical and mental injuries before his retirement with Wounded Warrior Battalion West in January.

While stationed in Okinawa, Japan, O’Berg, largely isolated from his family during 40 straight days of quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic, began to experience “hidden wounds,” like sleep disturbances and nightmares.

“My situation made healing more difficult,” he said.

O’Berg eventually sought emergency medical help for his illness after realizing he could no longer connect with his family in the present moment. The Marine Corps then transferred O'Berg to Wounded Warrior Battalion West, where he started a treatment plan at Naval Medical Center San Diego.

announced on social media he was abandoning his state senate campaign and entering an out-of-state treatment facility for post-traumatic stress disorder and alcohol abuse.

Over the next few days, Grecia Figueroa, a former San Diego Metropolitan Transit System employee, filed a sexual assault and harassment lawsuit against Fletcher.

Fletcher, a Marine combat veteran, publicly admitted to having consensual interactions in an extramarital affair with Figueroa but denied the allegations outlined in her complaint.

has only begun at the East Valley location after building permits were received on April 28.

As a result, the previously existing building has already been demolished.

According to Dutch Bros spokesperson Madison Fahey, the East Valley location is expected to open by summer’s end. Although the West Washington location has yet to receive its building permits, Fahey said the company expects it to open by the end of 2023.

The Mexican restaurant’s current building will be demolished to make way for the new drive-thru coffee shop.

“Escondido is a very welcoming community and has all the factors our teams look for,” Fahey said via email. “We’re excited to introduce Dutch Bros and show Escondido what we’re all about.”

going through this process. I can’t support the appointment process because of the amount of time left.”

One caveat to the board's decision: If Fletcher opts to remain on the board despite his planned departure date in May, the supervisors' action would essentially be void. According to a county attorney, the board has no authority to remove Fletcher from office, and it is up to Fletcher to decide when his resignation will take effect.

O’Berg was placed with a recovery care team, a recovery care coordinator, a licensed clinical social worker and Harvest, a psychiatric service dog trained to help people with anxiety disorders, depression or PTSD.

For O’Berg, Harvest’s presence releases dopamine and serotonin, boosting these neurotransmitters often depleted in individuals suffering from major depressive disorders. Harvest can also read O’Berg’s emotions, comfort him when he is down and force him out of bed when necessary. According to O’Berg, Harvest was one of the best things that happened to him.

But even after starting his long road to recovery, O’Berg said it took him some time to overcome the fears so many veterans and service members experience when contemplating their own mental health. The fear of appearing weak, fear of others finding out, and fear of losing a military career often prevent veterans and active-duty soldiers

Hours after news broke of Figueroa’s lawsuit, former UCSD student Amanda Mansoorbakht came forward to SanDiegoVille claiming Fletcher sexually harassed her in 2015 while she worked as an intern for his veteran-specific nonprofit, Three Wise Men Foundation.

Fletcher subsequently resigned as chairman of MTS and announced his resignation from the county Board of Supervisors effective 5 p.m. on May 15.

Since the Board of Supervisors cannot remove Fletcher, a duly-elected public official, the members weighed three remaining options: appointing a replacement, holding a special election or appointing an interim representative until the county had a special election.

After dozens of District 4 constituents spoke during Tuesday's public forum, the board chose to hold a special election rather than appointing a replacement to serve out the remaining three-and-a-half years of Fletcher's term.

“Today, we are at a crossroads,” said Chairwoman Nora Vargas. “To be honest, none of these options are ideal. It’s really unfortunate we’re here and

Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer, representing District 3, expressed concerns about a special election not being democratic due to traditionally lower voter turnout and how the county will conduct outreach to low-propensity voters in the county’s most progressive and diverse district.

“How can we make sure we have someone who champions those views?” Lawson-Remer asked. “I’m very concerned about an election in the middle of summer in an off-year when we could end up with 10%15% of voters at the polls. None of the options allowed genuine democracy to happen.”

Lawson-Remer also moved to allocate $750,000 toward more public outreach, but Vargas did not accept the motion.

According to Michael Vu, the county's assistant chief administrative officer, under state and federal law, the county must conduct outreach to low-propensity voters and provide fliers, mailers and other media in various languages.

Supervisor Jim Desmond said a special election is the best path forward, allowing District 4 residents to determine the representative to replace Fletcher.

“If we can spend $2 million on security (for Fletcher), we can spend $5 million on an election.”

Safe parking lot coming to Vista Civic Center City

offering 25 parking spots for unhoused

By Laura Place VISTA

— San Diego County’s next safe parking lot will launch in Vista, with officials eyeballing an August start date after settling on a location at their most recent City Council meeting.

The new lot at the Eucalyptus Avenue parking lot at the Vista Civic Center will provide a secure place for unsheltered residents living in their vehicles to park and sleep overnight. There will be space for up to 25 vehicles each evening.

Participants can also access bathrooms, handwashing stations, and case management services to help them secure housing. In addition, the City Council approved a contract in January with the nonprofit Jewish Family Services of San Diego, which operates five other safe parking lots throughout the county, to manage Vista’s lot.

The Vista City Council unanimously approved the new location at their April 25 meeting. Councilmember Katie Melendez, who originally proposed that the city enter into the program, said offering this resource is an important step in addressing homelessness locally.

Boulevard was separated from the road by a solid white line and bollards leading up to the intersection, forcing vehicles turning right onto Moonstone Court to cut across the bikeway.

“(These) dangerous conditions created a trap that a reasonably careful person would not notice or anticipate as being dangerous, since the lack of dashed lines, and presence of bollards/stanchions created a false sense of safety while operating a bicycle in the bikeway while at the same time, depriving automobiles adequate opportunity to merge into the bikeway to turn right onto Moonstone Court,” the complaint alleges.

In response to the allegations, attorneys for Shea Homes argued the homebuilding company played no role in creating a dangerous condition where the fatal collision occurred, instead claiming the city’s striping contractor, Statewide Stripes, had restriped the bike lane and replaced stanchions near the intersection four months prior to Worley’s death.

“Shea played no role in creating the condition, and it did not undertake the job of redesigning the bicycle lane or reconfiguring the bollards along Leucadia Boulevard,” Shea's attorneys said.

Teresa Worley, Jennings’ wife and the admin-

“Twenty-five spots barely scratch the surface of the need,” Melendez said. “There are so many people who are sleeping in their vehicles in our parks and in our neighborhoods. These 25 spots will be meant to alleviate the improper use of residential neighborhoods because that is happening right now.”

The program is funded by a $250,000 city budget allocation, largely from cannabis tax revenue, as well as a $65,000 grant from the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency, Department of Homeless Solutions and Equitable Communities for material

startup costs for the program. Staff originally recommended operating the program at the Civic Center’s larger lot on Alta Vista Drive. However, the council opted to move it to the neighboring lot near the Vista Library, saying it would be a better fit.

Jewish Family Services Chief of Staff Chris Olsen said around 300 people use Safe Parking Programs throughout the county each night. There are four other safe parking sites in San Diego, including one that opened April 26 in Clairemont and one in Encinitas.

Of all the participants, 57% end up no longer having to live in their vehicle, and 33% enter permanent housing, Olsen said.

“We know the need is great and that this public-private partnership has proven effective in other areas, including the city of San Diego and North County,” he said. “We are grateful for your support of this critical service in Vista.”

Now that a site has been selected, Jewish Family Services will start the 12-week preparation process to hopefully open the site this summer. This includes recruiting staff, securing equipment

like portable restrooms and a staff trailer, and beginning outreach to partner agencies.

The nonprofit will depend on referrals from these Vista-based organizations, including the Vista Homelessness Working Group, Exodus, ElderHelp of San Diego and the Vista Unified School District, Olsen said.

Some community members and nearby business owners expressed concerns about the program, claiming it would lead to safety risks and more unsheltered people in the area.

“No one is opposed to helping people, but once you open up a lot, you won’t be able to get these cars out. If you misbehave, you get kicked out, and where are they gonna go? They’re gonna go to our neighborhoods and our parks, and they’re already there,” said resident Julia Shriver.

Mayor John Franklin also shared concerns about cleanliness in the bathrooms at the site and said the city would commit to keeping the area looking beautiful. Overall, he recognizes the concerns community members have.

“I want to make a nod to the fact that the community is divided, and very concerned about what this might be. I want the community to know that I’m personally dedicated to overseeing it,” Franklin said.

na Contreras emphasized that many folks are already sleeping in their cars in other areas of the city, and encouraged empathy for participants.

“Right now we don’t have a safe parking program, but we have plenty of unsafe parking situations,” Contreras said. “These are human beings that have had a really hard time, and they are so close to having zero shelter … it is oftentimes the last little bit of shelter folks have before they become unhoused.”

According to Olsen, individuals using the safe parking sites include young families, people fleeing domestic abuse, and folks on fixed incomes. Over half of program participants are over the age of 50, and 14% are under the age of 20, according to Olsen.

“Since we launched in other locations in the county in 2018, the program has provided a welcoming environment and dignified support to help vulnerable San Diegans transition back into permanent housing,” Olsen said.

Those interested in entering the program will need to undergo a full assessment with program staff prior to acceptance. Registered sex offenders and those with outstanding arrest warrants are not eligible.

Vista’s Safe Parking Program hours will be from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m.

istrator of his estate, filed a wrongful death lawsuit in February 2021 against PODS Enterprises and the company’s driver, Epigmenio Serrato.

In an amended complaint filed in August 2021, the plaintiffs’ named Shea Homes and the City of Encinitas as additional defendants, alleging negligence and strict liability.

The following month, PODS and Serrato filed a cross-complaint against the city, Shea Homes and Statewide Stripes. The city and Shea subsequently filed cross-claims against each other.

Despite three years of legal finger-pointing and numerous counterclaims, the Worley family filed a notice of conditional set-

tlement on April 12, and the court generated a notice of dismissal in the case on April 19.

Ricardo Baca, an attorney representing the City of Encinitas, told The Coast News all the parties have started the process of “reaching a global settlement” in the lawsuit.

“Nothing is finalized, but the talks have begun,” Baca said, who would not discuss any other details about the case.

Attorneys for the plaintiffs and other co-defendants did not respond to repeated requests for comment. No additional information is available on possible settlement terms.

A civil jury trial was scheduled to begin on April 28.

the city to keep the land “in its natural condition as near as possible to maintain it as rural, public open space.”

San Diego entered into a formal lease with Surf in 2016. Before that, the land was leased to the Rancho Santa Fe Polo Club since 1986, with Surf also using the fields since the ’90s under a sublease.

The background of the 25-day limit in the grant deed is confusing, at best, with its status changing several times in recent years.

The deed did not originally mention any day restriction until a 2002 amendment was made, setting a limit of 25 days of events per calendar year.

In 2014, the city and previous grantor Ocean Industries Inc. agreed to another amendment allowing 25 events per year, including those lasting multiple days.

However, Ocean Industries retracted this amendment in 2016, again establishing the 25-day limit.

A Surf Cup Sports representative said they were not surprised by the lawsuit. They have fielded complaints from the same individuals regarding their operations and alleged violations of the deed agreement for several years.

They noted the courts had supported them in the past, such as when Friends of the San Dieguito River Valley unsuccessfully sued San Diego for not requiring a California Environmental Quality Act review for Surf’s lease in 2016, and that they believe they’ll prevail in this case as well.

“We’ve basically been threatened with this deed challenge since 2016,” Surf said. “What gets lost in this negativity is all the good that we do. The things that should really matter are the fact that kids come in on a day in, day out basis and get to realize their dreams.”

Decades-old document

The homeowners association’s suit marks the

latest development in the years of contentious backand-forth between the city and neighbors since Surf Cup entered into their 26year lease.

In the years leading up to the lawsuit, several residents have repeatedly emailed, called and met with city officials and the lease management office, urging them to clarify whether Surf’s activities are allowable under the grant deed.

Many have also raised concerns about increased traffic, noise and light pol-

landscape.”

Those suing the city, however, insist the language of the grant deed is crystal clear.

“The city blithely dismisses its obligation to enforce the grant deed by characterizing it as ‘weak’ and ‘outdated’ and asserting that ‘things change with time,’” the suit says. “An actual controversy exists between FPCHA and the City as to whether the actions of the city … violate the restrictions, covenants and conditions expressly enumerated in the 1983

After fighting cancer with tremendous courage and positivity, Doug passed away at the age of 77.

He is survived by his wife, Betsy and daughters Lindsay Buckner, Jennifer Hartman and her husband Charles and grandchildren, Chance and Skyler. He is

also survived by brother Jeff Buckner (Patti and niece Kelsey, nephew Greg), brother Michael Buckner and nephew Matt Buckner.

Doug is preceded by his brother, “Buck”, his father, Harry Warren, his mother, Virginia, and his son, David Brett.

Doug was an alumnus of Mount Miguel HS and SDSU for his undergraduate and graduate studies.

He had a successful career in software development and business management.

With a passion for construction, he became a general contractor and started his own business in the San Diego area.

Doug also served on the Western States Machine Company’s board of directors for 23 years; becoming the CEO in 2010. During his five year tenure in Ohio, he enjoyed extensive international travel forming strong relationships with customers.

His inspiration and leadership led to the construction of a new company headquarters and manufacturing facility.

Doug was a curious and engaging individual who had a wealth of knowledge about plants and Southern California landscapes; along with his knowledge of archaeology.

Over the years, he enjoyed woodworking, camping, hiking, fly fishing, and cheering on his beloved Padres.

He cherished his family and friendships.

He shared his lifelong love of the desert with his girls, taking them on many camping trips in the Anza-Borrego Desert, his absolute favorite place.

We will see Doug in all the natural beauty surrounding us, and he will forever remain in our hearts.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the San Diego Botanic Garden at 10 am on May 10th.

lution from Surf’s activities, with the San Dieguito Planning Group, Carmel Valley Planning Board and 22nd District Agricultural Association echoing these complaints.

District 1 Councilmember Joe LaCava, whose constituency includes those living directly near the fields, is among the officials who have been in continuous contact with residents about this issue.

While his office declined to comment on the suit due to restrictions surrounding pending litigation, LaCava said in an April 2022 interview with The Coast News the city was limited by vague language in the deed agreement.

“Part of the challenge that we have is, the agreements, policies and regulations that were well intended when they were adopted, years later they realize they don’t have the details or the specificity or didn’t anticipate certain situations that would really be helpful today,” LaCava said at the time. “There’s some vagueness in the prior documents, and we’re trying to operate in that

grant deed.”

Wave FC facility

The complaint also alleges the city has allowed Surf Cup to expand its activities at the fields even further with the presence of San Diego Wave FC, the area’s National Women’s Soccer League club.

Surf Cup entered into an agreement with Wave in early 2022, allowing the team to utilize an area of the property for training, meetings and locker rooms. The fields’ far east end is now a fenced-off area reserved for Wave with large trailers and other equipment.

A draft agreement with Wave, provided to the city by Surf, describes plans for developing “longterm facilities” that involve a modular training facility consisting of enjoined trailers and enclosing up to 25,000 square feet.

It also describes the potential use of the adjacent 24-acre property, purchased by Surf Cup in April, to construct “more permanent improvements” for the team.

Wave did not reply to a request for comment.

Discovering La Perla Tapitia in Oceanside

lick the plate

How did I learn about La Perla Tapitia? Well, most of us that work in an office environment have, at some point, had a vendor bring in breakfast as a show of appreciation. It’s usually bagels or doughnuts, and it’s a welcome gesture.

This occurred recently at my office/warehouse in Oceanside, and to my surprise and delight, the offering was a pile of the most enormous breakfast burritos I’ve ever seen.

I was in breakfast burrito heaven, and when I grabbed one labeled ham, potato, beans, eggs and rice, I was stunned by its weight. It was sizable in length and girth — a hefty burrito that weighed so much I could have pumped up my arms doing curls with it!

And as a bonus, this monster was one of the most delicious I’ve ever had.

The house-made tortilla was not only soft and pliable with a slight char, but it was also solid enough to keep the ingredients intact, an essential attribute of tor-

tillas…as I’ve had many that tasted good but exploded everywhere after a few bites.

First, I had to find out where these beauties came from. I was quickly informed they were from La Perla Tapitia on Mission, very close to our workplace! Further exploration was in order.

I stopped by after work shortly after the breakfast

burrito experience with two solid eaters in tow, co-workers Brooks Venters and Alec Maskiewicz. These guys have both proven themselves before on Lick the Plate eating adventures that required a big appetite, which was going to be a requirement with this one. I should note they did not disappoint me and are still Lick the Plate worthy!

Before diving into the eating adventure, I was curious about the meaning behind the restaurant’s name. It loosely translates into being an habitant of or from Guadalajara. La Perla is a reasonably obvious translation into “the pearl.” Owner

Reggie Gaeta is a Guadalajara native and paid tribute to his hometown by naming his restaurant after it.

La Perla Tapitia is a combination bakery, meat market, convenience store, and indoor taco stand all in one, unlike any other Mexican joint you’ll find on the coast in North County. They offer a wide selection of baked goods, including some of the best pies and cakes, such as their famous Tres Leches. You can also purchase their homemade flour or corn tortillas to create homemade Mexican-inspired dishes for friends and family.

Your taco or burrito or

taste

of

whatever you order is assembled in front of you, providing an opportunity for easy customization. At this point, you realize the sheer magnitude of the ingredients being piled into the giant tortilla… in the case of a burrito. We each ordered our own giant burrito but also tried trying their Birria tacos and ceviche tostada to mix it up a bit.

All were quite fabulous, and as mentioned, we ended the meal with the best Tres Leches I’ve had in a long time. For those unfamiliar, Tres Leches is a sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk: evaporated, condensed, and whole. It’s a perfect dessert after a hearty meal as it is on the lighter side and is simply delightful.

Given the ample servings at La Perla Tapitia, it was a perfect opportunity to put my new eating mantra of portion control to its first real test. And seriously, if I were to devour one of those breakfast burritos in one sitting, I would be unable to do much of anything productive. But, of course, sometimes that’s OK, but not on a workday.

That said that mongo burrito ended up being both breakfast and dinner. The California Burrito I had for dinner was also my lunch the next day. And believe me, it takes a lot of willpower not to devour such savory goodness in one sitting. I can’t do it anymore and feel much better knowing I can stop. Huge portions provide great value if you can stretch them out, and La Perla Tapitia is an excellent spot to make that happen.

I’m just stoked I discovered a new Mexican restaurant that does things differently enough to make me want to add it to my mix. We live in a land of Mexican food delights with so many great options it’s easy to take them for granted.

I can’t wait to explore the bakery and meat counter more at La Perla Tapitia, as they both looked fabulous. I only scratched the surface of their savory and sweet menu items, all of which look worth exploring.

La Perla Tapitia is at 1910 Mission Avenue and 625 N. Redondo Drive in Oceanside.

When Cass Winery comes to town, guests at Vittorio’s can expect a sold-out dinner with Cass co-owner Ted Plemons narrating the evening. With his enthusiasm, knowledge, and delicious wine, he mesmerizes guests and makes Cass an easy wine dinner choice for Victor Magalhaes to host.

Classic Wines of California sales rep Jim Kern assisted with event coordination, including discounted wine sales. Chef Angel Gijon and his team’s efforts were instrumental in preparing the sold-out five-course dinner with over 100 guests.

Cass Winery was established in 1999 by Steve Cass, who retired from Charles Schwab and established a 145-acre vineyard in Paso Robles with the assistance of real estate agent and Paso Robles pioneer grape grower Jim Smoot.

In 2000, Cass Winery planted 145 acres with 12 varietals.

Two years later, Steve Cass and Ted Plemons visited South Africa on a golfing/wine-tasting trip to celebrate the completion of the residence and barn that Plemons built. After drinking plenty of Syrah, the two decided to start a winery, falling in love with the South African wine style.

They found winemaker Lood Kotze through a job-wanted sign they posted at the University of Stellenbosch. After the vineyard bore fruit in 2003, the first vintage beTURN TO TASTE OF WINE ON 21

Last week, I asked you if Happy Hour was enough to motivate you to leave the house. So I asked myself the same question.

The answer was a resounding “No!” I like drinking at home. My lovely wife is there. The dog is always excited I’m around.* The liquor cabinet and beer fridge are always full. It would be a true utopia if it weren’t for the honk of the train horn seemingly every 15 minutes and the constant threat of termites.

But I did buy some new shorts and pants. Why make such a drastic move if not to go out into the world?

That’s how I found myself sitting at the bar under the roll-up window overlooking the parking lot patio at Blue Fire Brewing in San Marcos, asking myself, What will motivate me to leave the house?

As I looked out over a half dozen sun-baked picnic tables, I was struck by a bolt of metaphorical lightning that lit a fire deep in the core of my id — competition!

The search for the Best Brewery Patio in North County has begun, but first, allow me to sip this White Sage IPA. You may remember that was one of my favorites at Guildfest last fall. I’m going to need a minute…

While I drink, I start planning the structure of this soon-to-be epic battle for patio supremacy. It will be a March Madness-style head-to-head bracket. However, the top seeds should be rewarded somehow, and like America’s fifth national sport, MTV’s The Challenge,** there should be a few surprises.

Let’s start the North County Brewery Patio-Off

Bracket or NCBPOB!

THE COMPETITORS: The competitors were chosen by reputation, commentary from other Blue Fire Brewing patrons, personal experience, and a hard-target Google Maps photo gallery search.

THE SEEDS: The top eight breweries are patio heavy hitters and have received a first-round bye. No one I’ve asked has questioned New English Brewing Company at the top of that list. Still, the competition committee struggled to determine the 6-8 seeds. As a result, some potential Cinderellas are waiting in the ranks just below.

THE SCORES: Brewery patios will be graded on a +/- point system. Patios

will be graded on the following categories: Accommodation: Space logistics, including seating, shade, bathroom access, and comfortability.

Atmosphere: K.A. the vibe. Things like music, design, firepits, games, greenery, etc Offerings: What is on the menu or available on the patio? For example, a brewery doesn’t serve food, but food trucks arrive daily; that would be a +.

Service: Service matters! It overlaps with Atmosphere but is a significant enough factor to get its own category.

Wild card: What makes this patio worth putting on my new pants? Is there something that makes it stand out besides the other scientifically determined categories? Did a bird poop

on me, or a bartender mistake me for a celebrity? Wildcard!

Each category is worth a total of 20 points. A perfect patio would receive a 100 (unlikely) score, and the worst patio would receive a 0 (also unlikely). Multiple visits to a patio can be combined to create an overall score to avoid one extreme experience.

The brewery with the higher score*** will win the head-to-head and advance in the bracket. In the case of a tie, I’ll reach out to a collection of five local brewery-goers chosen randomly for their vote on which brewery in the head-tohead competition is better. I’ll defer to their decision.

UNEXPECTED SURPRISES: They are unpredictable, so I can’t speak to

them. However, I feel there will be a twist or two during this competitive experiment.

A NOTE ABOUT TASTE: Beer taste is not a direct factor scored in this competition. I have a reasonably eclectic beer palate, but I like how some beer tastes more than others. So you may try something I recommend and think I’m out of my mind.

We can only guide you to the deck, but we can’t make sure you drink good beer. It isn’t fair to judge a patio based on the beer. I may comment on the beer but won’t let that be a determining grade factor.

A NOTE ABOUT STONE: Some readers will inevitably point out that neither of Stone Brewing’s North County locations (Escondido, Oceanside) is in the bracket, despite having quite lovely outdoor spaces. It isn’t a personal slight at Stone for selling to Sapporo Breweries. “Good for them!” I say, but Sapporo is a global empire that doesn’t need anything from the Cheers! North County column.

The Stone patios get an honorary mention for paving the way for many breweries who’ve learned from their example. I’ll keep my focus on the neighborhood.

FINALE: So, who is ready to get outside? Summer is here, and the patios are calling. NCBPOB is underway! Get your bracket here!

*Mostly true.

**This isn’t just my opinion. Read this column from Tim Marcin on Mashable, MTV’s ‘The Challenge’ is America’s finest sport. In what other sport do you get to see one human being wear another like a backpack in a feat of physical dominance while navigating the social politics of a reality show?

***Bribery will not impact this writer/judge, but it is encouraged.

Sharp Memorial Hospital offers advanced treatments for irregular heartbeats

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

One expert, Lisa Gleason, MD, specializes in cardiac electrophysiology, treating irregular heartbeats caused by atrial fibrillation (AFib) and other conditions. AFib occurs when electrical signals in the heart’s upper chamber short-circuit. As a re-

dergo successful ablations for AFib reduce their stroke risk. These procedures may eliminate the ongoing need for blood thinners. In most cases, patients are admitted on the morning of the procedure and stay overnight. Most patients can resume normal activities the next day.

“What I love about my job is that we can cure people of some irregular heartbeats and markedly improve others,” says Dr. Gleason.

“It’s a good day when we take someone in for a procedure, we fix their ‘short circuit,’ and then they go home. Giving patients good health and peace of mind is so rewarding.”

Dr. Gleason says successfully treating AFib is a partnership between physicians and their patients, who must also optimize their lifestyles. Patients can decrease their risk of developing AFib by reducing their weight, stress, alcohol consumption, and intake of other stimulants. Controlling high blood pressure, diabetes and sleep apnea also effectively reduces the risk of developing AFib.

Hey mamas! This year I hope you’re taking some much deserved time and space for yourself.

sult, the heart beats out of rhythm, which can cause blood clots to form and travel to the brain, leading to stroke. People with AFib are five times more likely to have a stroke and develop heart failure, even though many have no symptoms.

Using state-of-the-art technology, Dr. Gleason and her team provide extraordinary care for people with AFib by fixing the short circuit and returning the heart’s rhythm to normal using catheter ablation.

Getting to know Tri-City Medical Center’s interim president and CEO

Gene Ma, MD, FACEP, recently named Interim President and CEO at Tri-City Medical Center (TCMC), served as an emergency medicine physician at Tri-City Medical Center (TCMC) for more than 20 years and is a 10-time honoree of San Diego’s Top Doctors in emergency medicine. He has also held numerous administrative roles during his tenure at TCMC including chief of staff and chief medical officer, as well as CEO of WorkPartners, the region's dominant occupational health practice.

Why did you decide to become a doctor?

Life experiences are often the reason people become doctors and I was no exception. My mom had a ruptured aneurysm in her 30s, which changed her personality, as well as our family’s lifestyle. We frequently interacted with healthcare providers who made a significant impression upon me. I see my mom’s health experience as the inflection point that most influenced me to become a doctor.

I was drawn to emergency medicine not only because of the adrenaline rush, but also for the diversity within the specialty. Every day you can see something different,

which requires that you be knowledgeable in multiple aspects of medicine, rather than just one specialty – ‘a jack of all trades, but a master of none.’ Emergency medicine physicians expect the unexpected; they must think fast on their feet and communicate closely with other physicians when trying to save a patient’s life.

What drew you to become a hospital administrator?

I’ve always thought that I have natural tendencies toward administration and leadership as I thrive on creating processes to improve operations and employee and patient satisfaction. When physicians and staff enjoy their jobs and find meaning in their work, they are happy, and this results in a better patient experience. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege to lead TCMC in different clinical and non-clinical roles of increasing responsibility and to be a stakeholder in the decision-making process to bring about positive change.

What is your leadership style?

I always tell people that being a hospital administrator does not automatically make me a leader until I prove it and gain their trust.

I would describe my style as that of a servant leader – I am willing to roll up my sleeves and do the hard work with everyone else to get the job done. When we sit side-byside, rowing together with the same purpose in mind, we can accomplish our goals. Throughout TCMC, there are many people doing really hard work who do not have a manager or administrator title, but people look to them

as leaders. They are the true leaders.

What motivates you to come to work each day?

The people I work with are like family at Tri-City. Without them, it’s just brick and mortar, another building. Family is what defines us; that sense of nurturing and belonging is unique to Tri-City. Since we often spend more waking hours with this family than our own, I want the physicians and staff to know that they are valued and appreciated for all of their hard work. But I also want them to know that we are all in this boat together and to feel free to

share their insights and ideas with leadership so that we can move forward together.

How is Tri-City building a healthier community?

It’s our Tri-City family, working together, that is helping to build a healthier community. Our people are absolutely our ‘secret sauce’ and critical to our community outreach.

North County residents and businesses recognize what we are trying to accomplish and want to be a part of it. We continue to engage with the community through the COASTAL Commitment including events, educational seminars, health fairs and more to increase awareness of all that Tri-City offers.

As we look to the future at TCMC, we are further investing in minimally invasive procedures and robotic surgeries because they offer better outcomes, while lowering the risks of infection and rates of complications for our patients. We have become a leader in this area, being the first in North County to offer Mako SmartRobotics™ for knee and joint replacement surgery, which is outstanding for a community hospital.

Providing transformative surgical technology to improve patient care is just one of the many ways that Tri-City is defining the future of healthcare for our neighbors.

(mental health)?

Growing up, my dad’s side of the family was always filled with laughter – whether it was from watching a TV comedy or reading a humorous book or sharing funny moments with each other. It became instilled in my personality and today, my family and I really enjoy laughing. People underestimate the value of what laughter brings to your physical and mental health.

The saying, ‘laughter is the best medicine’ is really true as laughing releases feel-good chemicals called endorphins that help ease pain and improve mood. I do exercise and eat healthy, but keeping laughter in my everyday life is most important for me.

When not at work, what brings you joy?

I was born in Hawaii, but lived in Burma, Hong Kong and Japan when I was younger because my father worked for the U.S. State Department. That sparked my love for travel. Today, my bucket list is filled with travel experiences such as an African safari.

Also, I have five daughters, a King Charles Cavalier dog named Sadie and pet fish, which I’m fairly sure are all female too! My favorite thing is to spend time with my family, watch my girls play sports and, when possible, go dirt biking, wakeboarding or snowboarding.

include others like education and depression at midlife, could reduce dementia incidence by as much as 40%,” said first author Carol Franz, professor of psychiatry and co-director of UCSD's Center for Behavior Genetics of Aging. “That report placed ambient air pollution as a greater risk for Alzheimer’s and related dementias than diabetes, physical activity, hypertension, alcohol consumption and obesity.”

O’side honors Asian, Pacific Islander cultures

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— A wide range of cultures came together to celebrate the first ever Southern California Asian and Pacific Islander Festival on April 29 in downtown Oceanside.

Hundreds of people helped to kick off the festival’s opening events, promising a packed festival for the rest of the day.

Attendance far exceeded the expectations of co-creators and organizers Kevin Shin and Ilima Kam Martinez.

The idea to hold a festival celebrating Asian and Pacific Islander cultures was the brainchild of Shin, who opened Korean-Hawaiian fusion restaurant

gan, and two years later, the Cass Winery tasting room opened in May 2005.

Cass Winery is part of the California Rhone Rangers, which requires a winery to have 75% of its wine content from one or more of the 22 traditional Rhone grape varieties approved by the French government. They also produce Right Bank Bordeaux wines. Both styles are under the guidance of winemaker Sterling Kragten.

Dinner began with grilled eggplant rolled around ricotta cheese and basil paired with the 2022 Viognier. The Viognier had refreshing flavors of stone fruit, pineapple, and hints of peach. Its stainless steel fermentation created a bright wine that paired well with the eggplant entrée.

“Steve Cass and my goals include producing fine Rhone and Bordeaux style wine that is not overripe and over oaked from estate free run juice in a sustainable manner,” Plemons started his narration.

The wines served throughout the evening were proof that Cass and Plemons had achieved their goal.

The 2021 Roussanne in the second course had aromas of lemon, green apple, and nectarine. The palate was dry and crisp, matching the aromas.

“Paso Robles fruit benefits from its calcareous soil rich in minerality and limestone,” Plemons said.

The second course, panseared sea bass with a lemon-saffron sauce, was perfect for Roussanne’s lemon notes.

Moving on to my favorite course, the third one, we had the 2019 Backbone Syrah with braised lamb shank and goat cheese ravioli in a mushroom sauce. This Syrah is named after a 10-acre knob in the Cass vineyard where the guest house is located.

“The knob forms the backbone of the vineyard and is where the Backbone Syrah fruit is sourced,” Ple-

The Backbone had a nose with black fruit, earthiness, and flavors of black cherry, blueberry, and cedar on the finish. The earthiness melded well with the mushroom sauce. Finally, guests enjoyed the 2019 C-A-B Cabernet Sauvignon served alongside grilled beef tenderloin with mashed potatoes for the fourth course and a decadent Napoleon for dessert.

Cass Winery is a beautiful vineyard and winery and a perfect vacation spot. Guests can choose to stay at the previously mentioned Guest House or at the Geneseo Inn, a luxury boutique hotel built from industrial shipping containers, perched above Cass’s 145-acre vineyard, allowing guests to “breathe in the vineyard views.”

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) That sometimes contrarian Arian streak emerges and could affect an important decision. Try to keep your mind open to the possibilities, even if they currently seem remote.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It could be a long wait before you get an answer to a question involving financial matters. Meanwhile, check on other interesting possibilities.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A misunderstanding shouldn’t keep you from continuing to work. Pursue a reconciliation with someone who really cares. Talk it out before you consider walking out.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

Exercise some discipline — don’t keep changing your mind. An upcoming decision requires that you stay focused on the direction you need to follow.

LEO (July 23 to August 22)

Although family matters take up much of your time these days, you still need to deal with important workplace issues. Try to balance both obligations wisely.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20)

Fishing for compliments isn’t always wise. Build your self-esteem on your own worthy achievements, and don’t rely on others to tell you how good you are.

BORN THIS WEEK: People who meet you want to get to know you better, but you tend to be difficult to please when it comes to forming friendships.

PTSD

CONTINUED FROM

from seeking help.

Kirsten White, associate director of the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic in Oceanside, said many of her clients hesitate to seek the clinic’s help for their PTSD symptoms.

“People tend to be afraid of seeking help or admitting there is an issue or problem when it might make them look weak,” White said. “This is why we often refer to PTSD symptoms as ‘invisible wounds’ – people don’t see them the way you see physical wounds, and when there are others who went through similar events but don’t have diagnosed PTSD, those who do often wonder, ‘What’s wrong with me,’ which may keep them from going and asking for help.”

White said one of the common misconceptions about PTSD is that most combat veterans fall somewhere on the disorder’s spectrum. But according to a Cohen Veteran Clinic study, PTSD impacts between 11% and 20% of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans, 12% of Gulf War (Desert Storm) veterans and about 15% of Vietnam veterans.

The Cohen Veteran Clinic study also showed roughly one in four Americans believe most people with PTSD are violent and dangerous, another false stigma associated with the disorder.

“The vast majority (of veterans with PTSD) aren’t violent or dangerous,” White

ONLY

said.

What is true, but also widely unknown, is that PTSD is entirely treatable. In general, the VA estimates about 6 out of every 100 people (or 6% of the U.S. adult population) will have PTSD at some point in their lives. In 2020, about 13 million Americans had PTSD, and most will likely recover with treatment.

“(PTSD’s) not a life sentence,” White said.

O’Berg said he also deals with moral injuries, which he called “soul wounds.” In 2003, the Brooklyn native joined the Marines to honor the lives of his cousins, Dennis Patrick O’Berg and Christopher Mozzilo, New York City firefighters killed during the terrorist attacks on 9/11.

But following his retirement from the Wounded Warrior Regiment in January, O’Berg said he continued to experience thoughts that his military service was all for nothing, a notion that still bothers him.

Ultimately, O’Berg be-

lieves serving his country was an honorable decision but acknowledged the struggles facing combat veterans returning home need more attention.

Today, O’Berg lives with his wife and children in San Marcos, and he is pursuing his doctorate in leadership at the University of San Diego this fall.

In addition to understanding the need for support for veterans, O’Berg also pointed out the need to understand the struggles of military caregivers. The weight that many veterans and service members carry while experiencing PTSD and moral injury is often partly shared by their loved ones or caregivers who look after them.

Veterans needing immediate help can call the Veterans Crisis Line by dialing 988 and pressing 1 for 24/7 support.

RAIN, WIND, AND FIRE...

“The three menaces to any chimney, fireplace, or stove.”

Every year there are over twenty thousand chimney / fireplace related house fires in the US alone. Losses to homes as a result of chimney fires, leaks, and wind damage exceeds one hundred million dollars annually in the US. Additionally, mold, mildew, pollen, dust and flammable creosote are among the hazards that can build up and collect in the flue of a chimney. A thorough inspection, and cleaning if necessary, will dislodge and remove such build-ups.
