Sheriff investigates stabbing at party

 Juvenile booked in violent clash near candidate’s home

By Laura Place ENCINITAS

— The San Diego County Sher iff’s Department is investi gating an Oct. 29 stabbing that occurred outside of an Encinitas home — where a candidate for a local school board race is believed to have hosted a party — and whether alcohol was illegal ly provided to minors.

Deputies arrested a

15-year-old juvenile in con nection with the suspected stabbing of two 17-year-olds in the 1600 block of Crest Drive. One victim was left with minor injuries and the other with lacerations to his abdomen rendering him in critical but stable condition.

Lt. Christopher Law rence reported that the stabbing occurred after an altercation at a house party which then spilled outside into the street, near the long driveway leading to the home.

“The residence has a really long driveway, and based on all the victim and

witness statements we were able to get, it sounds like it occurred on Crest, just right out on the public road way,” Lawrence said. “As far as we can tell, it didn't occur on someone’s private property.”

In a detention hearing Wednesday morning, Judge Rohanee Zapanta denied requests from the suspect’s attorney, public defend er Grant Porter, for the 15-year-old to be released on home supervision.

Zapanta ordered the youth to remain in juvenile

Mayor files cross claim in lawsuit

Blakespear claims settlement violated in ongoing dispute

By Stephen Wyer

ENCINITAS — Mayor Catherine Blakespear filed a countersuit last week against a group of residents alleging they violated terms of a short-lived settlement agreement, marking the lat est salvo in an ongoing legal battle over First Amend ment violations on social media.

Attorneys representing Blakespear, a Democrat ic candidate for the 38th State Senate District, filed a cross-complaint on Wednes day in Vista Superior Court against Carlsbad attorney Michael Curran and five Encinitas residents — Rob ert Nichols, Garvin Walsh, Jordan Marks, Stephen Me iche and Matthew Wheel er — claiming they leaked the settlement terms to The Coast News in violation of the agreement’s confidenti ality clause.

San Diego attorney Car la DiMare, who replaced Curran as the residents’ le gal representation, filed a lawsuit in September against Blakespear for allegedly blocking residents’ public comments on her mayoral Facebook page in violation of their free speech rights and subsequently breaching the terms of the settlement agreement at issue in the mayor’s counterclaim.

Vista fire chief departs on heels of city manager’s resignation

By Laura Place

VISTA — Vista Fire Chief Ned Vander Pol has retired from his post just weeks after the city manag er's departure, throwing City Hall deeper into a state of un certainty while also offering city administration a chance to try out a new department head hiring policy.

Vander Pol’s last day was Nov. 2, wrapping up a threeyear tenure as fire chief and 23 years overall in the department. He submitted his retirement notice to city leaders on Oct. 13, the same day that former City Manag er Patrick Johnson submit ted his resignation letter.

In the letter, Vander Pol notes that he is pursuing a position with another fire department and indicates that severe strife among de partment staff had led him to depart.

Vander Pol described opposition from department members to his goals to “sup port a fire department where people were safe emotionally and physically and safe to grow personally and profes sionally” and to “feel happy and authentic in their lives inside and outside of work.”

“I have lost hope that a unified, collaborative, and happy [Vista Fire Depart ment] can exist. I believed that I could influence a change in the interpersonal atmosphere putting an end to the civil war that has plagued the generations before me,” Vander Pol's letter reads. “I realize now that change does not happen from the hopes of one.”

The former chief goes on to state that he hopes his de parture can lay to rest many of the frustrations and blam ing that had occurred.

Vander Pol told The Coast News that his letter, obtained via a public records request, was intended for an internal audience and declined to comment on the specific issues going on in the department.

“Any organization has challenges or hurdles, and I don't think Vista Fire De partment is dissimilar. I wanted to leave some hope and optimism for the people that were there still and let them put some of the things

in the past,” he said.

Miles Sweeney, presi dent of the Vista Firefighters Association, which consists of nearly 90 members, declined to comment on Vander Pol’s retirement letter but wished the former chief well going forward.

“We want to wish Chief Vander Pol only the best in his future endeavors and thank him for his service to the city of Vista and the fire department,” Sweeney said.

In early November, city spokeswoman Andrea Mc Cullough said city leaders had yet to appoint an interim fire chief. The hiring process for a new permanent chief is expected to take three to six months as the city imple ments a new hiring policy that involves stakeholder groups in the interview pro cess.

The Vista City Council adopted a change to the city code in September which required the City Manager to approve department head hires with the council major ity's approval for 120 days, allowing administrators time to develop a long-term policy involving stakeholders in in terviewing candidates.

Johnson tendered his involuntary resignation due to this policy, stating that it stripped him of his authority as outlined in his contract for the past 11 years.

Vander Pol stated that Johnson’s plans to resign par tially influenced his decision

to depart.

“Patrick leaving creates a big hole in the city,” he said. “He’s my boss, and that had an impact on my decision of whether to stay, for sure. We had a great working rela tionship.”

The city currently does not have an established pol icy for selecting department heads, but rather “the de cision is made based upon the unique circumstances of each vacancy,” according to a staff report. In the past, the city manager had appointed individuals to some positions when it seemed to be a good fit or gone the route of a com petitive recruitment process in the absence of an obvious candidate.

The City Council sought to establish a permanent pol icy that follows much of the city’s existing recruitment process, but with the addition of three stakeholder groups to interview candidates and make recommendations to the city manager.

These stakeholder groups would include one made of community mem bers, another of employees, and another composed of city directors and city staff, ex plained to the City Council during an Oct. 27 workshop. To begin the process, the city would call for candidates with the help of an execu tive search team, screen all received applications, and conduct an oral technical in terview.

Up to five candidates would then advance to inter views with the three stake holder groups. These groups would produce a ranked list of recommended candidates for the city manager, who would make the final deci sion.

In a surprise turn, city council members said at the workshop they don’t need fi nal input on the city manag er’s selection as part of the policy. This marked a change from past meetings when they suggested that the ma jority of the council should have the power to approve or reject the City Manager’s selected to hire.

“Once we have a panel of experts make a recom mendation, I want to sup port their decision,” said Councilmember Joe Green. "For me, this is just about transparency; this is about a standard process that never changes."

In the case of the fire chief vacancy, the com munity stakeholder group would likely include the Vista Sheriff’s Station cap tain, a member of the Vista Fire Protection District, and Vista’s community safety commissioner. Employee stakeholders would consist of representatives from em ployee associations like Vista Firefighters Association and Vista City Employees Asso

ciation.

Sweeney, speaking on behalf of VFFA members, said the policy gives more in dividuals a seat at the table.

“Workers within the city want to have their voices heard and want to be part of the process, and I think that is supported by the majority of the council. What we’re looking for is just that, just being able to have a say in who leads our individual de partments, whether that's

public works or fire or admin istration,” Sweeney said.

He also requested that the city’s maintenance team be included in stakeholder discussions since they fre quently interact with the fire department.

Among neighboring cities, only Chula Vista was found to have a policy requir ing City Council involvement in approving department heads, although it is not re quired.

Welcome home, vets

By Scott Mathis

Overthe last two decades, we have all watched cere monies on TV, or maybe even in person, wel coming home hundreds of thousands of troops from tours in Iraq and Afghani stan.

As an Army veteran of several conflicts, I was one of those troops.

I can tell you it was overwhelming to see and feel the love and pride em anating from the people cheering, crying and wav ing flags and signs as we stepped off that plane.

We got our welcome home, but not all service members had that experi ence.

So this Veterans Day, as part of the 50-year com memoration of the Viet nam War, I want to publicly thank and welcome home our Vietnam veterans who may not have received the heartfelt appreciation they deserved when returning home from an unpopular war.

Many of these veterans were left struggling alone to readjust to life and fight new foes such as loneliness, social isolation and addic

tion.

Over time, some of the wounds have healed, and steps have been taken to give them the long-overdue hero’s welcome and support they deserve.

In 2012, our nation launched a 13-year long commitment to recognize the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War.

This Vietnam War Commemoration program was established to thank and honor Vietnam War era veterans and their families for their service and sacri fice and runs through Vet erans Day 2025.

In hopes of reaching the millions of Vietnam War era veterans, the com memoration program has enlisted the help of partner organizations at the local, state and national levels to help thank and honor these veterans and their families.

There have been pin ning and proclamation cer emonies across the country to honor all military ser vice members who were on active duty, regardless of location, between Nov. 1, 1955, and May 15, 1975, and present them with a lapel pin as a lasting memento of the nation’s thanks for their

service.

These events also help foster social connections, reduce loneliness and social isolation, and provide veter ans and their families with programs and resources to address their social needs.

As a member of a com pany that serves as one of these community partners, I have had the honor of sup porting many of these pin ning ceremonies for Viet nam War-era veterans and their families in the South west Region.

Through this and other programs, we hope to pro vide veterans an opportu nity to share their service stories and receive the grat itude and support they have earned.

On this Veterans Day, let’s take a moment to thank all the Americans who have so nobly served or current ly serve in the U.S. Armed Forces — but especially those whose sacrifices and service during the Vietnam War have long gone unrec ognized.

Thank you, and wel come home.

Scott Mathis is an Army veteran and regional veteran executive at Humana.

Sports gambling will be back on the ballot soon

Sportsgambling lost, and badly. But not to wor ry, would-be online gamblers and folks who want to lay wagers in Indi an casinos or racetracks: Sports gambling will be back on the ballot soon.

The untold billions of dollars that promised to flow from either this fall’s Proposition 26 or 27 — or both — were the reason Native American gaming tribes and the big national online sports bookmakers put up a record war chest of more than $440 million to pass these propositions.

The same billions as sure the idea will be back as often as it takes for something akin to 26 or 27 to pass.

Maybe next time, the campaigns will be more honest. For while lies are common in this state’s initiative politics, rarely if ever have they been as obvious and obnoxious as those propounded by gam ing interests this fall.

One remarkable pre-election poll showed voters didn’t take long to recognize this: While both propositions ran about even among voters who saw no more than one or two of the ads backing Propositions 26 and 27, those who saw a lot of ads were against the proposi tions by margins of almost 2-1.

The ads were not merely ineffective; they were self-defeating.

Dishonesty began with the formal title of Prop. 27: the “California Solutions to Homelessness and Men tal Health Support Act.” That title didn’t even men tion gambling.

In fact, had Prop. 27 won, gambling revenues would have been taxed at slightly more than 10%. Of that money, 85% would have gone to homeless sup port agencies that already get billions in state tax money.

So it would have made little difference in a field where big money has proved ineffective.

Meanwhile, commer cials for Prop. 26 were also dishonest, implying that much of its take would go to mental health treatment of pretty much the same unhoused populace that Prop. 27 claimed to help.

In reality, neither measure was giving away much of the proceeds.

That may have been one reason the falsely promoted Propositions 26 and 27 lost among both Re publicans and Democrats, Donald Trump supporters and Trump haters.

This entire outcome was as counterintuitive as it gets. Early on, if you were a gambling man or woman, you would have felt foolish betting against either initiative.

For the recent history

california focus

of propositions aiming to legalize things that long were considered illegal vices suggested one or both would pass easily.

That’s what happened first with medical mari juana and then with recre ational pot.

Now, because of initia tive outcomes, it’s hard to find a city or county with out at least one cannabis dispensary.

The same with gam bling, where voters in 2000 approved Indian gambling on once-impoverished and desolate Native American reservations.

Eight years later, vot ers eagerly expanded the number of slot machines in Native American casi nos, many of which now double as luxury resorts, complete with spas, tennis courts and sometimes golf courses.

But as the tide turned against online sports gam ing, backers vowed they are not finished, that they will bring legalized online sports betting to the ballot again. This would not be unusual.

Proposition 29, the third attempt in the last four years by the Service Employees International Union to unionize at least some of the labor force at dialysis clinics, failed badly again this month, but who’s to say the union won’t try again?

It was no surprise, then, when the CEOs of the FanDuel and DraftKings online sports bookies, an nounced at an October gambling convention in Las Vegas that they would “live to fight another day.”

First, though, they will have to work with In dian casinos to share the wealth so they don’t end up with another set of com peting propositions, some thing that pollsters said hurt their chances this year.

They will also need to sweeten the pot when it comes to sharing the new wealth they could get from California with positive civic causes and with im poverished Native Ameri can tribes.

Giving these interests a minuscule share of the proceeds may have been another factor in the de feat of both Propositions 26 and 27.

So the gaming folks have work to do if they want to milk the billions they seek to take from Cal ifornians.

— A Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton was awarded the Marine Corps’ highest non-combat award for heroism this past June after saving a family from a burning vehicle two years earlier.

“The Navy and Marine Corps Medal is the only medal you can get in the entire Department of the Navy for acts of heroism without being in a combat situation,” said Brig. Gen. Jason Woodworth during the ceremony.

CARLSBAD — For the first time in the Army and Navy Academy's his tory, a woman will lead the North County all-boys military boarding school.

Retired U.S. Army Major Gen. Peggy Combs was recently named pres ident of the private col lege preparatory acade my following her 33-year military career. Combs, a two-star general, official ly took command on Oct. 23 in Carlsbad.

Previously, Combs oversaw the U.S. Army Cadet Command and served as chief of staff at the North American Aero space Defense Command, or NORAD, in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Before her appoint ment to the academy, Combs was a retiree liv ing in Florida when she learned of the position, which she said intrigued her based on her previ ous experience managing thousands of ROTC stu dents nationwide.

“It is a blessing,” Combs said. “I truly do love the whole val ue-based system. The folks here are a family, they make you feel wel come, and everybody here cares. That’s hard to say about many organiza tions.”

Combs said it's an honor to become the school's first woman president, but also not ed her military career is filled with "first woman" achievements and profes sional milestones within the Army.

Combs said her fo cus is on her 90-day as sessment, getting a clear

In her first several days on the job, Combs is excited about the school’s reputation and innova tive approach to learning, such as allowing students to operate flight simula tors as part of an aviation program.

After the 90-day as sessment period, Combs said her strategy would continuously refine the school’s needs and direc tion. But she’s not ready to announce any signifi cant changes, which she said could negatively im pact students and staff if implemented without enough information.

“The school is in awesome shape, but that doesn’t mean we can’t improve,” Combs said. “I want to be very de liberate about that. It’s about continuously rein forcing what we’re doing here: developing virtuous men who can change the world.”

Combs said she was drawn to the school based on the institution's core values — honor, integrity, respect, responsibility, compassion, and gratitude — which are ingrained in the atmosphere at the all-boys school, which ed ucates kids from grades 7-12.

Barry Shreiar, chair man of the academy's board of trustees, said Combs was the ideal can didate and her approach, passion and values aligned with the school.

“There aren’t a lot of major generals, regard less of gender,” Shreiar said. “To find a major general that has a serious background, an ROTC background twice is al most impossible. It’s a bet

Sparks started to fly from underneath the vehi cle before it erupted into flames.

“Immediately, I was like, I need to help them any way I can,” said Wet ter. “All I could think at first was what the heck happened?”

The driver of the car, Anthony Hurley, slammed the brakes and pulled over, causing Wetter to do the same. Wetter ran to the car and began analyzing the situation.

The extinguisher Wet ter brought with him from his vehicle was no match for the fire, which at this point had too much fuel.

Hurley and his wife had already escaped from the burning car but were unable to get their young daughter out of her car seat.

The father, Anthony, was already trying to get the child out with no suc

cess.

“At this point, there was vegetation that was also burning adjacent to the vehicle,” Capt. John Choi, a spokesman for the North County Fire Protec tion District, said in the video. “Gunnery Sgt. Wet ter came in and made con tact with the wife ... and

she said, ‘My baby’s in the back.’”

At that point, Wetter climbed into the burning car and tried to unbuck le the seat belt, but to no avail.

Wetter then grabbed his pocketknife and cut the child free of the car seat. According to Stars and

Stripes, Wetter credited his infantry training with conditioning him to quick ly respond to the situation.

“His actions embody honor, courage, commit ment,” Choi said. “It took tremendous courage to go into a burning vehicle to aid this family and I tru ly believe if Gunnery Sgt. Wetter didn’t do his actions that day that we would have a different outcome for this child and the fam ily.”

Wetter’s entire unit at tended his award ceremo ny, along with friends and family.

Most importantly to Wetter, the Hurleys were also there to watch him receive the Marine Corps’ highest non-combat award for heroism.

“All I can say is I’m glad he was there that day, because he saved our first born,” said Anthony. “She wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for his heroic ac tions.”

HONOR GUARD

By Jordan P. Ingram

REGION — Born from a Kansas group of motorcy cle-riding veterans whose roaring engines drowned out Westboro Baptist Church’s attempts to disrupt military funerals, the Southern Cali fornia Patriot Guard Riders continue the ride to honor their fallen brothers and sis ters in North County San Di ego and beyond.

The Patriot Guard Rid ers, which consists of 450,000 veteran and civilian volun teers nationwide, has branch es across the United States.

Last year, members of the Southern California Patriot Guard Riders group attend ed more than 600 funerals of service members and first responders (or “missions”) and will likely exceed that number this year, according to Army veteran Lorenzo Liz arraga, a regional ride captain for the SoCal group covering San Diego, Los Angeles, Im perial and Riverside counties.

“We’ve never turned down a mission,” Lizarraga told The Coast News. “No matter what they did, at one time, they stepped up and put on the uniform to defend this country. And that’s what we’re honoring.”

The Patriot Guard has a code for attending military fu nerals. First, the group must be invited to attend a funeral by members of the decedent’s immediate family. No politics.

Every mission is led by a designated ride captain, who interfaces with the family, church, cemetery, mortuary and police, depending on the type of ceremony.

Volunteers do not have to be veterans to join the Patri ot Guard. While many do ride motorcycles, it’s not manda tory. The only other require ment is that volunteers must have the desire to honor fall en soldiers.

And in Southern Califor nia, the group has been busy.

Lizarraga, 78, said the SoCal group accepts five or six missions per day between Miramar, Fort Rosecrans, Los Angeles and Riverside nation al cemeteries and everywhere in between.

Personally, Lizarraga at tends about four funerals a week, occasionally traveling alone to stand in solidarity with the region’s deceased veterans and first respond ers. Since joining the Patriot Guard, Lizarraga has complet ed more than 1,200 missions.

Active-duty Marines who die at Camp Pendleton are sent to Berry Bell & Hall Mor tuary in Fallbrook before re turning to their hometown or final resting place. The Navy sends its departed service members to Legacy Funer al and Cremation Care in La Mesa. The Patriot Guard Rid ers, invited by the mortuaries, honor these veterans as well.

“There is something

wrong when the majority of mortuaries know me by my first name,” Lizarraga said.

Typically, Lizarra ga wakes up around ze ro-dark-thirty to make the 90-minute drive from his Al pine home to the North Coun ty mortuary by 4 a.m. to es cort the body back to a nearby international airport. And the former Army cryptographic technician always brings an American flag with him to drape over the shipping con tainer.

“We escort (the de ceased) over to the cargo area for a dignified transfer,” Liz arraga said. “Anytime a hero is moving, we present arms with flags. When we get to the loading dock, we unload them, put them on a scale, play taps and present a prop erly folded flag.”

The group also hosts Vets Without Families every Tuesday at Miramar Nation al Cemetery, providing full military honors for previous ly interred veterans who may otherwise be lost to time.

In 2013, the Department of Veterans Affairs report ed an estimated 22 veterans killed themselves each day. While that number has gone down, the VA reported sui cide rates in 2020 were high est among younger veterans ages 18 to 34. These alarming national statistics motivat ed Carlsbad veteran Steven Crouch to get involved with the SoCal Patriot Guard Rid ers.

Crouch, a retired Coast Guard serviceman, is now ful ly disabled and has battled de pression for decades.

“I was diagnosed with chronic depression in 1995,” Crouch said. “A lot of times, I would lie in bed for several days without getting up. But Patriot Guard has given me a purpose. It means something to be here for these families. So these guys that are hope less and contemplating sui cide, come out, join us and get involved with the camarade rie.”

Today, Crouch still rides his Harley Davidson Roadg lide on at least three missions per week in the San Diego area. Over hundreds of mis sions, Crouch has found solace and camaraderie in the group of men, women, veterans and civilians.

But members worry about the future of the group due to what they perceive as a lack of patriotism.

“We used to have a tre mendous turnout in the early days, but it’s getting weaker and weaker,” Lizarraga said. “When I talk about patrio tism, right now, it’s the love of country and willingness to defend it. Right now, we have two generations without patri otism in their heart.”

More information about SoCal Patriot Guard Riders is available at socalpgr.org.

— After more than year of advoca cy and deliberations, the city will not move forward with plans to develop a dog beach, at least for now.

Over the past 12 months, an online peti tion gathered thousands of signatures in support of a seasonal dog beach with limited hours in North Oceanside on a portion of Harbor Beach between the north jetty and Lifeguard Tower 18.

Councilwoman Kori Jensen and Councilman Christopher Rodriguez, who supported the idea last year, brought the propos al back for consideration during the Oceanside City Council’s Nov. 2 meeting

“Our police and life guards don’t have time to police dogs on the beach,” Jensen said. “Our solution is to give a portion of the beach for dogs to access le gally.”

Rodriguez said he brings his dogs everywhere with his family and didn’t see the harm in establish ing a dog beach that wasn’t during peak hours and sea son.

But the remaining council members seemed unconvinced of the idea.

“There really is no off-season there,” said Dep uty Mayor Ryan Keim about the location of the proposed dog beach. “I think it’s a recipe for disaster at that location but I’m willing to entertain it at a location further south.”

Supporters want to let their furry friends off the leash at a dog beach that is closer to home rather than driving to Del Mar and be yond to visit dog beaches.

Proponents also say having a dog beach in a coastal community just makes sense and could attract more visitors who want to vacation with their pets.

“We are a beach com munity,” said Moss Rosen, an organizer behind the dog beach concept. “We need a dog beach.”

While many supporters of a dog beach showed up at the most recent council meeting, there were also several residents in atten dance who were opposed to the idea.

Residents not in favor of a dog beach cited sever al reasons not to support

the proposal, including the potential for dog urine and feces contaminating the beach, harmful envi ronmental impacts to local wildlife and water quality, and risks to children at the nearby playground.

Resident Bob Ash ton said the dog beach is proposed for Oceanside’s only remaining dry, sandy beach.

“We only have dry sand on 1.7 miles of our 3.7 mile shoreline – that means 46% of our shoreline is available for our citizens to recreate on,” said Ashton.

Ashton, who is also a dog owner, said with Oceanside’s population of 177,000 residents, plus visi tors from nearby inland cit ies, there isn't a lot of sandy beach left for everyone to enjoy, especially with a dog beach.

Rather than focus on a dog beach, Ashton would rather city staff focus on finding a solution to restor ing sand to the city’s beach es first.

“Once sand is restored to our beach, then let’s

bring this issue back up and do it in a responsible man ner,” Ashton said.

According to City Man ager Jonathan Borrego, the cost to analyze the en vironmental impacts of a dog beach is approximately $150,000, and it could take a few years for California Coastal Commission to ap prove it.

“We have applications with the Coastal Commis sion that are backed up for two to three years,” Bor rego said.

Although the dog beach item was brought forward by both Jensen and Rodri guez, Rodriguez refused to second Jensen’s motion to approve the dog beach due to the majority of council’s lack of interest.

In order for City Coun cil to vote on an item, one member must issue a mo tion and another council member must second it be fore a vote takes place.

“Thank you guys for coming out, we tried,” Ro driguez said to the disap pointed audience of dog beach supporters.

Election 2022: Blakespear, Levin, Bruce-Lane hold slim leads  Early results

By Stephen Wyer

ENCINITAS — In a closely-watched race in North County San Diego, Democratic candidate Cath erine Blakespear holds a slight lead over her Republi can opponent Matt Gunder son as of noon on Wednes day in the race for the 38th State Senate District seat, with a significant number of ballots yet to be counted.

As of 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 9, Blakespear had received 107,702 votes, and Gunder son garnered 106,551 votes, roughly a half-point differ ential, according to the Cal ifornia Secretary of State website.

In the Orange Coun ty portion of District 38, Gunderson holds a nearly 18-point lead over Blake spear after 100% of pre cincts had reported their ballots by Wednesday morn ing. In San Diego County, where Blakespear leads by roughly 10 percentage points, approximately 70% of votes remained to be counted.

Both candidates ac knowledged the closeness of the results in statements issued to The Coast News on Wednesday.

“This is a very close race, and we’re closely mon itoring the results as they come in,” said Gunderson. “I am honored to have re ceived so much support from family, friends, and the thousands of Califor nians who trusted me with their vote. I will continue to advocate for an affordable, safe, and golden California, and I feel confident that the results will go our way when the counting is through.”

Late Tuesday night, Blakespear held a much stronger lead over Gunder son, 55% to 45%. Late Tues day night, Blakespear held a much stronger lead over Gunderson, 55% to 45%.

“I’m honored by the results that have come in

so far. Right now, we have a lead we feel very com fortable with,” Blakespear said shortly after the results came in on Tuesday. “We always knew this would be a close election, so it’s im perative that everyone who braved the weather and made it to the polls has their voice heard. We expect that when all the votes are count ed, we will be victorious.”

On Wednesday morn ing, however, Blakespear acknowledged the outcome remained a toss-up after Gunderson closed the gap overnight.

“The race is very close right now,” said Blakespear. “The outcome is uncertain, but we continue to hope that the strong lead I had last night will hold.”

49th Congressional Early results show

Democratic incumbent Rep. Mike Levin with a slim lead over Republican challenger Brian Maryott in the com petitive race for the 49th Congressional District.

Levin, who holds 51% of votes against Maryott’s 49% as of Wednesday, cel ebrated the early results with friends, family and campaign supporters at the Hilton Del Mar on Tuesday night, saying that although there are votes that remain to be counted, he is opti mistic about the outcome.

“We are confident that when all is said and done, we will prevail,” said Levin, who is seeking a third term in the U.S. House of Representatives.

This race marks the second showdown between the two candidates after Levin came out on top over Maryott in the 2020 Gener al Election.

However, this year is more competitive, with the district leaning more conservative after adding portions of south Orange County and removing parts of the city of San Diego in the redistricting process.

President Joe Biden also flew out to San Diego County last week to stump for the Congressman as Democrats fight to main tain critical seats in the U.S. House of Representa tives.

As expected, San Di ego County voters in the 49th made a strong early showing for Levin, while constituents in the dis trict’s Orange County area came out supporting Mary ott.

On Wednesday, 89,204 voters had returned their ballots in favor of Levin, while 85,560 votes had been cast for Maryott — a

76th Assembly

The competitive race for the new 76th Assembly District seat could see a po tential upset after Repub lican challenger Kristie Bruce-Lane pulled ahead overnight into a slight lead over incumbent Democrat Brian Maienschein.

While Maienschein started with a lead early Tuesday evening, BruceLane narrowly pulled ahead overnight to be up by around 600 votes at 50.37% over Maienschein’s 49.63%.

Maienschein is seek ing reelection to his sixth term after serving five terms representing what was formerly the 77th dis trict.

roughly 2-point differen tial.

Similar to the race in the 38th District, the bal lots that were returned later on Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning shifted the race favorably for Republicans.

In an interview with NBC News, Levin reiterat ed his expectation of victo ry in the race, pointing out that most of the remaining ballots to be counted in the 49th Congressional Dis trict were mail-in-ballots, which typically favor Dem ocrats.

Conversely, Maryott said he was confident the overnight shift in his favor would continue and allow him to close the gap in the days to come fully.

“We are certainly op timistic with where we’re positioned,” Maryott said. “Voters are fed up with

The most recent re districting process moved many residents into the 76th district who previous ly voted in the 77th and 75th districts, with the addition of inland areas such as San Marcos and Escondido — increasing the district’s Republican voting power — as well as the areas of San Pasqual, Rancho Penasquitos, Fair banks Ranch and parts of Carmel Valley and elim ination of Mira Mesa and Poway to the south.

If results continue to trend in favor of BruceLane, current director of the Olivenhain Water Dis trict, Maienschein could be unseated for what would be his last possible term in the state Assembly.

Falling short of the cooking ideal

Herecomes the fabulous food sea son. Thanksgiv ing kicks it off. And then there are Han nukah latkes, party cana pes, Christmas cookies and don’t forget the hot cocoa. This time of year, I can no longer deny that I’m a cookzophrenic.

That means part of me relishes the creative, deli cious world of food prepa ration and consumption. The other part of me runs shrieking at the mention of a potluck supper or cookie exchange.

I have never been adept in the kitchen. I can scrape by, but I lack motivation. That simple Chinese wok recipe loses its magic after I have chopped my 14th vege table. I am best friends with my microwave.

I made one classic Christmas dinner with goose, ham, Yorkshire pud ding, gravy and the works. It was pretty good, but during the three full days it took me to clean up, I vowed never again.

Yet my love-hate syn drome can be activated by a host of stimuli. It always hits me when I wander into a gourmet kitchen store. Knowing full well I will never use a garlic press, a deluxe spatula, a strawber ry huller or a combination deep fryer and FM radio, I nevertheless want them.

It can strike when I’m simply watching TV and happen to flip past “Good Eats” or maybe a cake bake-off. You would think I had actually iced a layer cake or successfully han dled one of those decorator icing bags.

But no. I just find my self wanting to after a cou ple of TV cooks make it look so simple. I have to fight the urge to race into the kitch en and begin preparing peanut brittle from scratch.

small talk

jean gillette

I need to remind myself of the multiple batches of fudge I measured, mixed and threw out one year.

The odds are further stacked against me as my oven has a real burn-thetop, undercook-the-bottom problem. Nonetheless, I’ve been known to fantasize about busting out a perfect standing rib roast.

I am equally vulnera ble anytime I pass a Mar tha Stewart or Bon Appe tit magazine on the rack. When they show those glossy photos of a beautiful ly set table groaning with at least five courses, I begin to lose touch with reality.

Suddenly it doesn’t matter that each recipe has three parts with 10 ingredi ents and instructions that cover two pages. Fully cog nizant that I probably can’t afford the exotic ingredi ents, much less find them, I still want to flip on the oven, gather it all up and cook up a storm.

When I snap into con sciousness and face the fact that just one of those five dishes needs more than an hour of my attention, I get over myself.

All that effort so it can be eaten? I think not. Were I to invest that kind of time and creativity into some thing, I want it bronzed and put on the mantel. Uh oh. That paella recipe on Pin terest sounds so easy. Make me a reservation, quick.

Carlsbad High QB commits to Crimson Tide

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — One of the nation’s most talented high school quarterbacks recently announced his fu ture plans on Nov. 2 during ESPN’s “College Football Live.”

Carlsbad High School junior Julian Sayin has com mitted to Alabama, arguably the country’s most dominant college football program of the past 15 years.

Sayin said he chose Al abama because of its histo ry and success under head coach Nick Saban, who has led the Crimson Tide to sev

en national championships since 2009.

“I couldn’t have done this without my parents, my coaches and my team mates,” Sayin told ESPN an chor Wendi Nix. “Alabama is the standard for college foot ball. I want to be coached hard by coach (Nick) Saban and coach (Bill) O’Brien. It’s a special place and the high est level of football.”

According to Rivals, Sayin is the No. 2 pro-style quarterback in the country for the 2024 recruiting class, a ranking that earned him at least 30 scholarship offers

Before eating, help yourself, others at O’side Turkey Trot

sports talk jay

paris

Thanksgivinghas

long been a fami ly affair and that’s especially true for those shaking their tail feathers at the 17th O’side Turkey Trot.

“We have people from three and four generations that participate in this event,” Kathy Kinane said. “It’s a time to be thankful.”

Kinane, of Carlsbad, has long been the O’side Turkey Trot promoter and she supplies the elbow grease to countless other Southern California run ning extravaganzas. What Kinane is seeing this year is a surge of entries from fam ilies eager to get their steps in on Thanksgiving morn ing before someone gets the vittles out.

For those seeking a

workout prior to putting their forks into overdrive, the O’side Turkey Trot is a keen appetizer before a cheat day in the chow line.

“Instead of people sit ting around and watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the 60th time, people can go out for a run or a walk with their families,” Kinane said.

Which makes the O’side Turkey Trot among the leaders for most hugs per athletes. With all that family love and a sense of accomplishment that ac companies hitting the fin ish line, someone invariably gets squeezed.

That affection flows to two members of Kinane’s team.

Peter Major, a not ed former athlete in his own right, has worked for Kinane’s company since 1991. Major’s son, Dmitriy, has followed in his dad’s footsteps.

Before the first Turkey Trot event, Dmitriy will have already logged hours

from Power 5 schools.

The 6-foot-2, 190-pound signal-caller has started for the Lancers since his sophomore season, leading the squad to the San Diego Section CIF Open Division Championship game.

Currently, Carlsbad High is the top seed in the Open Division. The Lancers hosted No. 4 seed Poway on Nov. 10 in a first-round play off game.

This year, Sayin has completed 69% of his passes for 2,302 yards, 23 touch downs and three intercep tions. Sayin has accounted

for 2,436 yards and 25 touch downs in total offense.

ESPN analyst Tom Lug inbill described Sayin as a “riverboat gambler, and I love that about him.”

“(Sayin’s) really gift ed to get the ball out of his hand quickly,” Luginbill said. “He can be off his backfoot. He’s ultra-com petitive and playing a high brand of football in North County San Diego.”

The Carlsbad teen’s ver bal commitment to Alabama is non-binding until he signs an official letter of intent in December 2023.

Native American artists spotlighted at Solana Beach gallery

By Laura Place SOLANA BEACH

—

Native American sculptors, painters and jewelry mak ers from the San Diego area and beyond showing their works at the Exclusive Col lections Gallery in Solana Beach throughout Novem ber in celebration of Native American Heritage Month.

This is the second year gallery founder Ruth-Ann Thorn has held the show, This Is Indian Country, during November to cele brate Indigenous peoples and elevate art works that preserve the heritage of different Native tribes.

“Our language is not a written language, so we speak in storytelling, in the visual arts you see here … those are the things that really show who we are as Native people. Here you see a group of people that are really preserving their culture through the visu al arts,” said Thorn, who is a part of the local Rin con Band of Luiseño Indi ans, one of 13 bands of the Kumeyaay nation.

Opening Nov. 5, the show runs up until Thanks giving and features eight Native American artists, several with roots in the San Diego region.

ined. By the commanding caliber of his works, it’s hard to believe he has only been painting for around five or six years.

“The first painting I ever sold was to my young er brother,” he recalled.

“There’s a lot of Native art work out there, but a lot of it is done by non-Natives. I want to raise the platform for our Native artisans. It’s such a pleasure to be able to

represent my artwork here in Southern California.”

Ruben Chato, a mem ber of the Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas, started his artistic journey at Mesa College in San Diego fol lowing his service in the Navy. On display at EC Gal lery is a series of paintings from his college days, show ing the four stages of tradi tional dancing with bright colors and brush strokes

that create an undeniable sense of life and movement.

“It’s always an hon or when you’re asked to do something, knowing you’re asked to be a part of something for your peo ple. There’s no greater joy,” said Chato.

Del Curfman, the show’s youngest artist from the Crow Nation in Mon tana, exhibited oil paint works from his Vanish ing Series, where gentle strokes of bright color are pulled in streams behind his detailed human sub jects.

“I think it’s an im portant, crucial time to

highlight Native arts and peoples. With the efforts of Ruth-Ann, it’s very much an opportunity we appre ciate so much,” Curfman said. “This work is not only meant to educate, but en lighten.”

Aside from painters, the show also features Kumeyaay sculptor John ny Bear Contreras, jewel ry maker Cody Sanderson, photographer Cara Rome ro, woodcarver LX Lew is, and painter/sculptor George Rivera.

While much of the country’s Native American art hub is centered in San ta Fe, Thorn said This Is

Indian Country provides a platform for Native art in Southern California.

“When I curate the show, I think about who is here locally and our ances tors from California, but I also want people to under stand that California, the Natives from California, aren’t like anywhere else. We’re different,” Thorn said.

EC Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mon day, Tuesday, and Thursday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. It is located at 212 S. Cedros Ave #104 in Solana Beach.

San Marcos teacher recognized as one of nation’s 100 best

By Laura Place

SAN MARCOS — A

local high school anatomy and physiology teacher was honored with the ex perience of a lifetime last week, when she set sail on a cruise to Mexico after being chosen as one of the country’s 100 most impres sive teachers out of around 50,000 nominations.

Marci Davis, who has taught at San Marcos High School for 11 years, was nominated by a former stu dent this year for Norwe gian Cruise Line’s Giving Joy contest.

In July, Davis found out she had made it into the top 100 entries with the help of testimonials from her students, co-work ers and administrators.

Not only that, but Da vis found out she had been voted as one of the top 30 teachers out of those se lected, which she said was even more of an honor.

“It’s hard to put into words,” Davis said. “To end voting in the top 30 just says so much about our culture at San Marcos Unified and San Marcos High School, because I had to have staff and students and administrators really rally for me.”

Departing on Oct. 27, Davis and her fellow teachers from all over the United States set sail on the Norwegian Prima

for its maiden voyage to Progreso, Mexico in the Yucatan Peninsula on a five-day round trip. On their “sea days,” the pas sengers enjoyed activities like a three-tier racetrack and virtual reality games, along with an on-board Kelly Clarkson concert.

Each teacher was al lowed to bring a guest, so Davis brought her best friend and fellow San Mar cos High School teacher.

Along with teaching anatomy and physiology to juniors and seniors, Davis leads a second-year health care essentials course that is part of the

district’s health care path way. There, she oversees students as they pursue health care internships throughout the county.

Students have always been her passion, and she said she enjoys building rapport and relationships with them, something dis tance learning made espe cially difficult. However, she did her best to keep kids engaged, and the stu dent who ended up nom inating her was in one of her virtual classes during distance learning.

“It’s been a really rough couple years, not just for teachers but for our students. To be recog nized especially during this time, where it was the hardest of my career, was really really special,” Da vis said.

Testimonials from students spoke to Davis’s passion for students and teaching.

“Ms. Davis has a pas sion for teaching and loves helping her students succeed in and out of the classroom. I learned so much from her not only about anatomy, but about life,” one student wrote.

“She did above and be yond to accommodate her students during distance learning and put her whole heart into making her stu dents control life,” another said.

By Stephen Wyer

ENCINITAS — By Wednesday morning, the results in Encinitas munic ipal races showed Council man Tony Kranz would be the city’s next mayor. At the time of this article, Kranz sat in a comfortable first place with 48.19% of the vote, with 29.4% of votes having been counted.

Cindy Cremona came in a distant second at 25.03%, while Jeff Morris ranked third with 23.97% of the vote. Michael Blobe was fourth with 2.81%.

“I’m honored to have received such a significant percentage of votes,” Kranz said. “I also recognize that people who aren’t happy with the direction the coun cil’s been going split their votes between Cremona and Morris. So I’m not going to ignore the fact that a pret ty good number supported

Cremona conceded the race to Kranz in a state ment provided to The Coast News.

“Although the results are a disappointment, we ran a clean and professional campaign,” Cremona said. “I’m incredibly grateful to my team, our volunteers and my supporters for their desire to create change in the direction Encinitas is heading. I sincerely hope that going forward, city leadership puts residents first.”

When asked to com ment on the election re sults, Morris simply said, “I am retiring from politics.”

In District 4, Bruce Ehlers holds a commanding lead over Pamela Redela. Roughly 47.06% of bal lots had been cast in favor Ehlers, compared to 32.24% of ballots for Redela, as of Wednesday morning. Dan Vaughn was third in the count at 12.78%, while Sta

“I’m optimistic now,” Ehlers said regarding up dated results that showed his lead increase field.

While acknowledging that the results in his race were not yet final, Ehlers said his anticipated victory in the race demonstrated that a considerable contin gent of residents are dissat isfied with the council.

“My message this cam paign was, ‘Has the council lost its way?’ The resound ing answer was a yes in Dis trict 4,” Ehlers said. “And while party politics may be quite strong, my results show that an independent free thinker can still win in Encinitas. We’re not quite as blue as some progres sives would think.

Redela had not conced ed the race as of this article and could not be reached for comment.

In District 3, incum bent Councilwoman Joy Lyndes held a small lead over challenger Julie Thun der, with a significant number of votes still to be

counted. Lyndes came in at 52.41% of the counted bal lots as of Wednesday, while Thunder followed closely behind at 47.59%.

“For the District 3 race, the election is clearly not over,” Thunder said. “I’m only trailing by 199 votes. This is a close race and the ballots they count in com ing days will tell a story. I’m confident that the voters of D3 showed up and voted in their normal numbers,” Thunder said.

that’s impossible to win, but we did, and we won. And that doesn’t even speak to the depth of character that this takes.”

the plaintiffs.

“Robert Nichols and Michael D. Curran, Esq.’s disclosure of the terms of the Settlement Agreement to The Coast News on or before May 17, 2022, only days after the parties’ ex ecution of the settlement agreement, shows that they had no intent to com ply with the confidentiali ty provisions of the Settle ment Agreement and that they took unfair advantage of Mayor Blakespear,” the cross-complaint reads.

Kevin Sabellico, Blakespear’s campaign manager in her bid for the California Senate, claimed the lawsuit filed against the mayor was driven by political opponents who had recklessly leaked con fidential information to the media.

“This is still a polit ically-motivated, rightwing attack against Mayor Blakespear, which is ex actly why she is bringing a cross-complaint against the plaintiffs for abusing the judicial system and operating in bad faith,” Sa bellico said.

Nearly all of the res idents in the lawsuit have identified as Democrats and vehemently denied the lawsuit as politically moti vated.

DiMare condemned Blakespear’s countersuit, arguing the mayor’s latest filing was a frivolous at tempt to force the plain tiffs to settle.

“In my opinion, it is disgraceful that Mayor Blakespear countersued her constituents,” DiMare said. “There is no doubt that Blakespear breached her settlement agreement after she repeatedly cen sored the free-speech rights of those she dis agreed with. We do not want our government to silence its citizens. Rather than admit what she did was wrong, Blakespear filed a frivolous counter complaint. Blakespear continues to prove that she is unfit to hold any public office.

“Mayor Blakespear knows that the count er-complaint is meritless, but they filed it as a tac tical reason because they

know that the complaint by our plaintiffs is solid.”

DiMare said the plain tiffs will continue to press forward with their preex isting litigation.

publicly apologize to any one who did not have full access to my campaign Facebook page or other so cial media accounts.”

Curran, the residents’ former attorney, publicly denounced Blakespear’s apology, claiming the post’s insincere language violated the settlement’s terms.

Curran said the mayor had further broken the set tlement after attempting to pay $5,000 in damages with a check drawn from a Blakespear for Mayor 2020 campaign fund and not her personal finances.

formation regarding this settlement payment shall remain confidential except for any legally required disclosures.”

In a separate section, the document specifies that “The terms of this agreement shall remain confidential except as set forth by the parties in this agreement.”

The countersuit as serts that The Coast News clearly identifies Curran and Nichols as having in formed the newspaper about the specific terms of the settlement agreement in violation of the confi dentiality clauses. Blake spear’s attorneys argue these terms were inten tionally leaked to discredit the mayor politically.

“The disclosure (by Curran and Nichols) con stitutes a material breach of the settlement agree ment,” the cross-complaint reads. “Their actions also demonstrate that they en tered into the settlement agreement in bad faith and acted unfairly to in terfere with Mayor Blake spear’s right to receive the benefits of the settlement

agreement. Their disclo sure, made immediately after the parties executed the settlement agreement, is part of a long-standing political attempt to dis credit Mayor Blakespear and her candidacy for the California State Senate.”

Not only was the breach of confidential ity evident in the May 17th article by The Coast News, but it was also con firmed by text messages exchanged between Sabel lico and one of the newspa per’s reporters, the may or’s attorneys claim.

Nichols and Curran both vehemently denied Blakespear’s allegations made in the countersuit.

“Mayor Blakespear’s accusation that I leaked our settlement agreement to the Coast News is bla tantly false,” Nichols said. “Even The Coast News will attest to this. The fact that she wants to sue her res idents over something so false shows how unethical she is.”

The Coast News ob tained an email from Cur

ment, The Coast News pub lished “Blakespear reaches settlement agreement with Facebook critics” on May 17, revealing the mayor would issue a public apol ogy, pay an undisclosed sum of money (later to be revealed as $5,000) and pledge to refrain from cen soring critics on her social media accounts in the fu ture.

Several days after the article’s publication, Blakespear issued a public apology for her actions on Facebook.

In the cease-and-desist letter, the complainants threat ened to sue me if they did not receive a public apol ogy for their inability to participate. To that end, I

As a result of these al leged violations, DiMare filed a lawsuit on behalf of five named plaintiffs and up to 30 unnamed individ uals. All of them currently live in Encinitas except Nichols.

In the mayor’s count er-complaint, however, her attorneys argue that by telling The Coast News about the terms of the set tlement agreement in May (when the newspaper’s article on the subject was published), Curran and Nichols had willfully vio lated the confidentiality clauses contained in the agreement.

MAYOR CATHERINE BLAKESPEAR has filed a cross-claim against residents in a lawsuit al leging she violated their First Amendment rights and breached terms of a subsequent set tlement agreement.

I’m

going out on a limb to assume you’re famil iar with McDonald’s Golden Arches.

The company spends $460 million-plus annual ly on marketing its 38,000 restaurants worldwide. It’s a safe bet its logo has been drilled into all our heads.

So how come the Mc Donald’s in Sedona, Ari zona, has arches that are turquoise? Had I not seen it myself, I’d have been hardpressed to believe it.

For those unfamiliar with Sedona, its amazing red rock scenery is worth a visit. The stunning land scape led local authorities to establish building con struction rules prohibiting any hindrance or intrusion of the views.

McDonald’s wanted a location in this very up scale community but got a shock.

City officials felt the famed golden-colored ‘M’ didn’t suit everything else Sedona offers visitors.

Something had to give, and it wasn’t going to be the city.

Of course, with the prominence the arches have in our everyday lives, the restaurant itself has be come a tourist attraction. Lots of locals and influenc ers flock to the eatery to click photographs with the sign.

Like the nearby Pink Jeep tours, the only non-golden McDonald’s in

the world has become a des tination.

Mickey D’s situation isn’t unique, and business es of many stripes deal with similar issues. Retail ers typically must match the style of signs at their strip malls. Home offices have their home (and of fice) colors dictated by the local HOA.

And, like McDonald’s, the choice becomes simple: accede to local regulations or move the business else where.

Without going too far down a political rabbit hole, I’ll admit to being surprised by the location of this anomaly.

After all, we’re regu larly regaled with tales of Massachusetts, New York and California being plac es that are over-regulated. Florida, Texas and Arizona are typically portrayed as

bastions of deregulation. However, I’ll leave it to the pundits to debate such inconsistencies.

Don’t let local regulations leave you feeling blue ask mr. marketing rob weinberg

Here’s a little friendly advice: If you’re starting a business or thinking about a new location for your firm, be sure to check how local regulations might impact your business BE FORE you make any com mitments.

Without such due dil igence, you may discover too late there’s a negative impact on your branding, signage or ability to post promotions on the building or at the curb.

And, like the guys in Sedona, you may find your self feeling blue.

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

Those in the know, fitness-wise, are on to the fact that our community’s youth often need a nudge to stay active. That’s why the O’side Turkey Trot, which was featured on the Fox News national broad cast last year, brings a dou ble-whammy of wonderful.

Not only do those go ing left, right, left, right, increase their heart rate, but their affection for kids is evident by the dough raised at the trot. Since 2007, more than $420,000 has been earmarked for North County students, es pecially those attending schools along the Highway 78 corridor.

custody until the next hear ing on Nov. 17.

The two stabbing vic tims, along with one victim of alleged battery by the same suspect, filed a peti tion requesting that he re main in custody.

The grandmother of one of the victims offered an im pact statement in opposition to his request to be released, challenging Porter’s claims that this was an isolated in cident.

“It was an extremely violent incident,” the grand mother said. “My grandson was stabbed in the abdomen three times. He does happen to go to the same school as the individual charged. I would be against him being released at this time.”

Several individuals on social media who claimed to have attended the party, along with news agencies, have confirmed that the home where the party oc curred was that of Sheila King, a candidate for the San Dieguito Union High School District’s Area 3 board seat.

The Sheriff’s Depart ment declined to say pre cisely where the house par ty occurred beyond stating that it was in the 1600 block of Crest Drive. Public re cords indicate that King’s home is located within that block.

King did not return multiple requests for com ment from The Coast News but previously stated to NBC7 that “what happened was not at my home and hap pened in the street.”

Deputies are also inves tigating whether there was a violation of the county’s social host ordinance, which states that adults hosting a social gathering are respon sible for supervising minors and ensuring they are not using illicit substances.

partment is not investigat ing one adult in particular for a potential violation but investigating whether the ordinance was violated “as a whole.” Lawrence said the department had not been able to verify whether there was underage drinking at the party.

The news comes just days before the Nov. 8 elec tion, when voters will de cide between King and her opponent Jane Lea Smith to serve on the board and oversee 13,000 students in one of the state’s top-rated districts.

Some residents have called for King to drop out of the race, stating that she should have made a state ment about the incident if it occurred in connection with an event at her home.

Robyne Ruterbusch, whose son graduated from the district last year, said the news of the situation was disturbing.

“I heard about this on Sunday morning,” Ruterbus ch said. “I’ve found myself very triggered by this news. I feel it’s been a coverup, not wanting to admit it or take any responsibility.

Another individual wrote on social media about her anger toward King's al leged lack of accountability for refusing to admit she hosted the party where a

“I was initially sym pathetic to Ms. King, but the way she is absolutely shirking any responsibili

ty for what happened AT HER HOUSE is telling to how she will respond to the responsibility of serving on the board,” the individual wrote.

Smith, King’s opponent in the Area 3 race, initially declined to comment on the situation but later stated, “My thoughts are with all the teens who were either involved in or witnessed the incident. The trauma will be significant, and I am hoping they get the support they need to heal.”

The Coast News at tempted to contact King and several supporters of her campaign multiple times, all of whom either declined to comment or did not respond.

San Diego Beer Week kicked off this past weekend with the San Diego Beer Guild Fest at the Del Mar Surf Sports Park.

The weather was per fect, breezy but not windy, sunny but not hot. I was cool enough for sweat shirts but not cold.

The space was pret ty great, too. It was wide open with plenty of room for distancing between rows with plenty of picnic tables for lounging be tween beer samples or eat ing lunch from one of the many food trucks parked just outside the entrance.

We arrived early for the VIP session. I strongly recommend paying the ex tra money, if possible, to attend beer festival VIP sessions. Not only will you get to try beers that may be gone early in the day, but you’ll also enjoy never waiting in a line and hav ing an opportunity to talk with those pouring the beers to learn more.

Kylie from Pure Proj ect poured my first beer, a Kolsch that was excel

lent. Martin and Brett from Quantum Brewing poured my wife a pint of Singularity Stout.

We cheered our glass es for the first time in a long time and began to make the rounds. I lean towards lighter beers and lagers. My wife goes for bourbon-barrel stouts and hard kombuchas.

The beers were mostly excellent. I was surprised that my day’s favorite was Blue Fire Brewing’s White Sage IPA.

I’m already plan ning to visit Blue Fire in San Marcos in hopes that there will be more! I made sure to end the day with

The vibes were high. We ran into old beer friends. They introduced us to new beer friends. We drank more good beer. We tried new-to-us breweries. We laughed at good jokes and bad ones.

The biggest compli ment I can give the SD Beer Guild is that when we hit that threshold where we planned to leave for another Saturday event, we stayed. This may be a little weird, but like Pam Beasley at a Chili’s, we felt the love at that beer festi val.

Congrats to the San Diego Beer Guild for put ting on a well-run event and to the guild's brewers for making delicious beer and helping create perfect memories.

Bar and Kitchen owner and restau rant maestro Sal Ercolano and John Parker, a Republic National wine sales representative, recently orchestrated an ex quisite five-course Penfolds wine dinner.

Flora

“The success of Pen folds has been driven by the generations of visionaries and innovators. From the beginning in 1844 to today, the merging of science, art and innovation has driven Penfolds to become one of Australia’s most famed and respected winemakers,” and one of the world’s most iconic wineries.

Dr. Christopher Pen fold and his wife Mary planted their first vintage in Australia in 1844. As Dr. Penfold’s medical career blossomed, the brunt of win ery operations fell to Mary. In 1870 after the passing of Dr. Penfold, Mary assumed total responsibility of the winery.

Mary retired in 1884 shifting operations over to daughter Georgina who was making one-third of South Australia’s total wine pro duction by 1884 and by 1907 became Australia’s largest winemaker.

Georgina is famous for experimenting with new methods of wine production that carries on through to day. Penfolds brought on its first Chief Winemaker Max Schulbert in 1948 who created the award-winning, flagship Grange as well as “bin wines.”

Three bin wines were part of the dinner.

“Twenty years ago, Pen folds purchased land and planted cuttings in Napa Valley. In 2018, it produced its first Napa Valley vintag es,” Parker said. “Until the wine was perfected, Pen folds was not comfortable with putting their label on the bottle.”

Dinner started with Chef Hilario bites that in cluded Ahi Tuna Poke on cucumber, Chorizo stuffed mushrooms and Beef Car paccio on crostini. This was served with Penfolds Max’s Chardonnay with crisp cit rus flavors-pineapple and grapefruit with a floral nose, a 93pt Wine Enthusi ast awardee.

The first course was a pan seared Crab Cake with baby greens topped with a lemon pepper aioli along side 2019 Bin 311 Chardon nay. This also had a floral nose.

The eight-month oak aging with 35% new French oak made this a 92-point (and greater) wine by James Suckling, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Rob ert Parker. I second the top reviewers — it was a great wine that melded well with the crab.

In the second course, the dinner shifted to reds with the 2020 Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz, a 94-point Wine Spectator awardee, 94-point Robert Parker and 93-point James Suckling.

The shiraz with cherry, plum, and a dash of blue berry on the palate was cou pled with tubular Paccheri pasta and a rich Wagyu Bo lognese sauce.

The mix includes Wil liam Eick of Matsu, Naegi and Hokkaido Bread Com pany; Monica Szepesy of Q’ero; Pete Zacarias of In land Tavern; and Moises Hernandez of Black Rail

lots to match profiles,” Parker said.

The main course fea tured ostrich tenderloin paired with the 2019 Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon.

For the 407, Penfolds sources from multiple re gions using blind tastings to create the perfect blend.

The hint of gaminess in the ostrich was a great companion to the complexi ty and structure of the 407 with 12 months of aging in a combination of French (27% new) and American (8% new) oak. The dinner

Kitchen + Bar, Lo Cocina Mesa, Tin Leaf and Beach Plum Kitchen.

Wiliam Eick’s pick out of the Matsu kitchen is the Sunflower Dish which he describes as “sweet, spicy, bitter and bold with tex tural contrasts — it has it all.”

Eick can’t get enough of the Tonkotsu ramen at Gonzo Ramen in Carlsbad and eats there once a week at the least. Musically he’s been inspired recently by Japanese artist Yoasobi’s “The Book,” which he de scribes as “an easy, pop-y Japanese album based on short stories.”

Moises Hernandez, executive chef at Fresh Kitchen Hospitality, said his go-to is his Chicken Mole dish from La Cocina Mesa.

“We spend hours pro cessing this mole sauce, from toasting our dry chil ies to making our chicken stock,” Hernandez said. “And to see guests enjoy ing this dish gives me great

concluded with a Ghirardel li Chocolate Brownie with caramel sea salt gelato and Penfolds Club Tawny Port.

Thanks for spoiling the guests. A shout out to serv ers Spencer and David and Chef Hilario for this mem orable dinner. See more at penfolds.com.

Ercolano’s next wine dinner showcases another iconic winery, Napa Valley’s Wagner Family of Wine, featuring Caymus at his Del Mar West End Bar & Kitch en venue starting at 6 p.m. on Nov. 17 and Nov. 18. The cost is $85 per person plus tax/tip. RSVP at 858-2595878.

satisfaction.”

Outside of his restau rant group, Hernandez is a big fan of Chick-fil-A.

“I love this place,” Hernandez said. “I’m also a huge fan of Seaside Mar ket in Cardiff.”

His music of the mo ment comes from the Mexi can band MS.

“Right now, I can’t get enough of this band that is one of the most important bands in Mexico at the mo ment,” Hernandez said.

Monica Szepesy, own er of the fabulous Q’ero in Encinitas, picked the de licious, plant-based Q’ero

Salad.

Szepesy described it as “sauteed swiss chard and shitake mushrooms, over sweet potatoes caramel ized in sage butter, topped with quinoa.”

Szepesy is also excited about the recently opened Temaki Bar in Encinitas, which she called “a great addition to the Encinitas food scene.”

And, of course, I would expect nothing less than a killer music selection from Monica.

“What’s moving the Q’ero crew and me in the kitchen these days is Bom

ba Estereo, a group from Colombia that mixes tra ditional rhythms and ex cellent lyrics and is very uplifting.”

Pete Zacarias, of In land Tavern in San Marcos is a big fan of their Double Smash Burger and indulges regularly.

“I guess you can’t go wrong with two perfect ly seasoned patties, Koji grilled onions, two slic es of American cheese, house made secret sauce, all served on a Hokkaido Japanese milk bread bun,” Zacarias said. “Oh…and

our house cut Kennebec Fries.”

Local chefs reveal the food, music that motivates them lick the plate

Outside of Inland Tav ern, Zacarias is among the many culinary profession als who flock to Wrench and Rodent for their Salm on Nigiri.

“Chef Davin Waite has changed the game,” Zacarias said.

Musically, Zacarias’ tastes have recently veered toward SoCal punk.

“My go-to of late has been Face to Face. Their album ‘Protection’ is as good as it gets,” Zacarias said.

TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF MARY ANN FONTANESI Case # 37-2022-00042601PR-PW-CTL

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Mary Ann Fontanesi

A Petition for Probate has been filed by John M. Fontanesi

and James Fontanesi in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego.

The Petition for Probate requests that John M. Fontanesi and James Fontanesi be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

(This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows:

Date: December 1, 2022; Time: 1:30 PM; in Dept.: 503. Court address: 1100 Union St., San Diego CA 92101, Central Courthouse.

Appearances may be made in person in the department; or by using the department’s Microsoft Teams (“MSTeams”) video link; or by calling the department’s MSTeams conference phone number and using the assigned conference ID number. The department’s in person instructions, MSTeams video conference link, MS Teams conference phone number, and assigned conference ID number can be found at www.sdcourt.ca.gov/ ProbateHearings. Plan to check 15 minutes prior to the scheduled hearing time.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

CSUSM wins $3M grant for students with children

By City News Service

SAN MARCOS — A grant of more than $3 mil lion from the U.S. Depart ment of Education will go toward supporting Cal State San Marcos students who have young children, it was announced Nov. 3.

The four-year grant — awarded through the Child Care Access Means Parents in School program — will go to student par ents who could use childcare assistance while they work toward graduation.

It will create the CSUSM Child Care Ac cess Program in partner ship with the Center for Children and Families on campus.

Once up and running, the program is expected to support about 50 student parents with subsidized

child care.

The program is direct ly in response to the high — and rising — costs of child care in the county.

According to the San Diego County Child Care and Development Plan ning Council, child care costs $1,300 to $1,600 a month for a child under 5 in the county, and a fami ly of four must make more than $118,000 annually to be self-sufficient in the county.

Family income data from last fall shows that 52% of CSUSM undergrad uate students have family incomes below $60,000 per year, indicating an especially strong need for supplemental support in the student parent popu lation, a college statement reads.

Always good to see my buddy Mike

Irecently

had breakfast with a group of surfers, most of whom I have known for over half a century. Included were my first surfing partner and younger brother, Dave; rip per and Surf & Sport found er, Paul Heusenstamm; Jack garland, and his best friend, the eternally stoked Mike Malsie.

Also in attendance were “Old Guys Rule” founder Don Craig, who proves that saying true every time he paddles out; South African standout Andrew Spangler; and Bill Stewart, who is best known for the board label that bears his name. It was a joyous reunion, brought together as always by Malsie.

I think the year was 1964 when my dad dropped me off at Doheny and I saw this kid surfing better than the adults. He seemed to

water spot

know everyone in the line up and riding a wave or not, appeared ready to explode with joy.

When I met him lat er that day, he introduced himself as Mike. Mike’s voice cracked as he spoke, like the word exiting his mouth was ticklish and might make him burst out laughing.

Making him cooler still was Patty, his cute, little girlfriend who often rode tandem with one of the old er guys.

Mike was one of the cool kids and I was not. I was proud that he was my friend, something that means more every year.

While always nice to his friends, Mike could be a little rough on strangers. I recall the time when one such stranger, a big lumber ing guy, was paddling after him in a rage.

Judging by his severe

LAWSUIT

CONTINUED FROM 17

ran to Richard Rios, Blake spear’s lead attorney in the case, sent on Thursday lam basted Rios for filing the cross-complaint, reiterating his belief that the mayor had acted unethically and illegally in breaking the original settlement agree ment.

“Mr. Rios, I have been advised you filed a very ill-advised SLAPP (strate gic lawsuit against public participation) cross-com plaint in the Nichols et al. complaint against (Blake spear), including my firm and me personally,” Cur ran wrote in the email. “Bad move, you have been around long enough that you should know better.

“With respect to the comments The Coast News attributes to me, I did not disclose the specific terms and conditions of the set tlement agreement. I did tell The Coast News that settlement agreements of this type, concerning First Amendment violations by a government actor, typi cally included stopping the protected 1st Amendment infringing misconduct, a public apology and a finan cial component, pretty com mon knowledge, and in this case, protected speech.”

Curran and DiMare both argue the settlement agreement was already null and void after Blakespear issued her controversial May 21 apology, rendering the confidentiality clause unenforceable.

Some community mem bers reacted with dismay to the news of the mayor’s action against residents. Former Encinitas Mayor Jerome Stocks said Blake spear’s actions seemed pet ty and retaliatory.

“I find the whole thing

crewcut, my guess is that he was a Marine trying to learn to surf. If he caught Mike there was nothing that he or I, or most anyone else, could do about it.

Mike was a strong pad dler and would allow the Marine to get close. Each time he did, he would ex tend his middle finger and race away. That cat-and-mouse game went on for a while, until Mike paddled be hind this big Hawaiian guy named Tiger Espera.

Mike sat behind Tiger, continuing to flip the guy off, and Tiger, who was a big as the would-be assailant, and hardened by the waves he grew up riding on Oahu’s North Shore, sat like a stone wall.

Though spoken more than five decades ago, I still remember Tiger’s words. Landing like a left hook, he simply said, “Leave the kid alone.”

That was the end of it. Mike flipped the guy off again and kept surfing. We hung out a lot that year.

By the mid-’70s Mike was a family man living in Oceanside, working hard and surfing harder. Surfing had somehow lost its way

very distasteful. I think it brings discredit to all elect ed officials when an elect ed official files a lawsuit against their own constitu ency,” Stocks said. “When somebody of authority tries to use the courts to quash opinion, that’s problemat ic. She is a mayor running for state senate and has the backing of the Democratic party machinery, and now that power is being used to sue residents for criticizing her?

“I’m very uncomfort able with that — it seems ill-advised for elected offi cials to sue their constitu ents, and the basis of this lawsuit is that she doesn’t like that they disagree with her. This isn’t assault and battery or fraud. It’s ‘I don’t like what you’re saying about me.’ It’s very unfortu nate that this is occurring.”

Bruce Ehlers, a former city planning commissioner and District 4 candidate, said the mayor’s litigation against the residents seems like a shameless attempt to punish critics and silence citizens unhappy with the current city government.

“The fundamental problem we have here is the silencing of opposing opin ions,” Ehlers said. “She consistently tries to shut down any contrary opinion that might affect her am bition for state senate. For her, it’s ambition over ev erything else. People in the community disagree with her, and she doesn’t want to hear it; she doesn’t want it out there — she demands complete allegiance.

“I find the combination of suppressing opposing views and doing things out of public sight objection able.”

Conversely, other com munity members believe the mayor’s counterclaim was a legitimate response

and longboards had been relegated to the junkyard of history.

It was caused by the “Shortboard Revolution,” something Mike was a part of until he and a few other San Onofre surfers spear headed a longboard renais sance after dusting off some old boards and learning to ride them again.

Mike was at the head of the class: fade, drop knee turn, hang ten. The thrill was back.

By the mid-’80s Mike and his wife, Diane, had moved to Hawaii, where Mike built a business and kept a house on the beach with a spare bedroom for any of his many friends to stay in.

I slept there often, and we surfed many good waves together.

From time to time I’ll get a call from Mike. It’s un necessary for him to say his name. I know it’s him by the joy in his voice that sends waves over the ocean into my home and heart.

to what they characterized as a politically motivated lawsuit.

Marco Gonzalez, at torney at Encinitas-based Coast Law Group, said from a legal standpoint, it was apparent the residents su ing Blakespear had violat ed the terms of their legal agreement with the mayor by leaking confidential in formation to the media.

“I think the plain tiffs have a couple of big problems,” Gonzalez said. “There’s the breach of confidentiality in the set tlement agreement–they breached both the express terms of the contract and the lawyer’s ethical duty to his client. But I think their case in chief, namely that the mayor’s compliance with the settlement agree ment was faulty, will never hold up in court.

“The agreement doesn’t obligate her to pay the settlement fees from a particular account; ob jectively, her statement qualifies as an apology as required by the agreement. Their continuation of this lawsuit was a political stunt and nothing more.”

Councilman Tony Kranz said he was disap pointed the legal dispute had escalated further and agreed with Gonzalez that the impetus for the lawsuit against Blakespear was po litical.

“I don’t know who will ultimately be successful in this case,” Kranz said. “The sad part is that the only people who gain from this are the lawyers. This should not have been an is sue, and I understand some people felt being blocked by Catherine was worth lit igating.

“But in the end, it’s just unfortunate that it got to point with everybody suing everybody.”

Putting old buildings to good use in Oregon’s High Desert

dark, I’m on foot in downtown Bend, Or egon, and maybe it’s just me, but I’m having difficulty finding the front door of McMenamins Old St. Francis School. As a Cath olic-school alum several times over, the name of this restaurant intrigues me.

It’s

I finally take a right through a gate, wind through the maze from a courtyard to the building’s interior, and somehow come upon the restaurant. It’s just one feature of this former Catholic parish complex, which includes four adja cent houses.

Besides the restau rant, the property now in cludes a boutique hotel; a Persian-themed, warm-wa ter soaking pool; a bar; a pub; movie theater; court yard; and even a secret broom-closet bar.

And every entryway, wall, niche, nook and cran ny has become exhibit space for historic photos of Bend and the old school, its stu dents and staff, and artwork by employees and local and Pacific Northwest artists.

Thank goodness I have server John Riordan Oak as guide and navigator through this out-of-the-box labyrinth

of artistic treasures.

The school was built in 1936; the parish sold it and the houses in 2000. (The parish, now in northeast Bend, still owns the church.)

The McMenamin brothers “spent four years restor ing and renovating the old school,” Oak says. “Many of the photos were donated by people who went to the school or live in the commu nity.”

And the artwork? A diz zying, delightful, eclectic collection of paintings; carv ings; light fixtures; works in wood, stained glass, tile and wrought iron; repurposed doors and wood panels; light fixtures; carvings; and Indo nesian, African and Celtic pieces.

McMenamins is a fa miliar name in the Pacific Northwest: The brothers own nearly 60 breweries, restaurants, hotels, pub and theaters throughout Wash

ington and Oregon.

They began building the empire in 1985 with the origin of Oregon’s “brewpub revolution,” made possible by a new law that allowed breweries to sell their beer on site.

“Most of the McMenam ins properties have a histor ical element,” says General Manager Freestar Yost. “Old St. Francis School is so intertwined with the history of Bend and the growth of the town. When you come here, you visit a historical place but you are feeling a fresh vibe.”

On what seems like another food-and-lodging planet is the Provisions Market at the SCP Hotel, in downtown Redmond. The fast-growing city of 36,000 sit at 3,000 feet and about 25 minutes north of Bend. SCP stands for “soul communi ty planet,” which denotes that the hotel is dedicated

to “sustainable practices, next-level wellness ame nities, modern gathering spaces and healthy food and drink options.”

“The High Desert is really a hidden gem,” says General Manager Tobias Colvin, as we enjoy lunch on the rooftop terrace, which features an herb garden, fruit trees and expansive views.

Tobias, whose back ground is in national re source management, and his wife settled in Redmond af ter traveling the country for about four months because “it checked all the boxes.”

The SCP typically ren ovates historic properties to “keep the history but bring the hotel into the present,” Tobias says.

This one was converted from 72 rooms to 49. Now a boutique hotel, the warm, welcoming, uncluttered lob by offers soothing gray and

brown tones, contemporary furniture, immaculate hard wood floors, dark wooden ceiling beams and a sizable stone fireplace.

At one end of the lob by is a portrait of the SCP chain’s “muse” — a wallsized, soft-color image re-created with small-link chains.

Around the corner is a deli-style restaurant “that offers local products, which

is better for the planet,” To bias says. “Keeping it green and lowering our footprint.”

Somewhere out back is a compost pile for leftovers that “we use for our own stuff or give to others who can use it. Our goal is to be healthy, kind and green.”

Nonstop flights to Bend/ Redmond are available on Alaska Airlines from San Diego, Palm Springs and Burbank.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

You’re eager to “Ram” headfirst into that new project. But before you do, find out why some of your colleagues might not appear to be as gung-ho about it as you are.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

All that dedicated hard work you’ve been putting in pays off better than you expected. So go ahead, reward yourself with something befitting a beauty-loving Bovine.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s a good time to take on that new chal lenge. And if your self-confidence is lacking, instead of telling yourself why you can’t do it, list all the reasons why you can.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is one time when you might want to put some distance between you and the job at hand. It will give you a bet ter perspective on what you’ve done and what you still need to do.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Resist that occasional lapse into Leonine laziness that sometimes overtakes the Big Cat. Don’t cut corners. Do the job right at this time, or you might have to redo it later.

VIRGO (August 23 to Septem ber 22) You know how you like to do things. And that’s fine. But watch that you don’t impose your methods on others. A current financial crunch soon eases.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Someone might try to take advan tage of your generosity. But before your sensitivity toward others over whelms your good sense, check their story out carefully.

SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem ber 21) Your strong Scorpian sense of fairness lets you see all sides of a dispute. Continue to remain impartial as you help each person work through their particular grievance.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Trust your keen Sagit tarian insight to help you see through an offer that might not be all it claims to be. A closer look could reveal dis turbing elements.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) With the Goat exhibiting a more dominant aspect these days, you could find it easier to make your case in front of even the most skepti cal audience.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru ary 18) Take things nice and easy as you continue to build up your energy reserves for a big upcoming change. You’ll need your strength for what lies ahead.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Recent news from someone you trust could help you make an important decision. Also, be prepared to con front an upcoming change in a person al situation.

THIS WEEK: You can be firm in your own views, but also flex ible enough to welcome the views of others.

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Michael Sherwood and his son, Kyle, of Cleveland come from a long line of morticians. So a few years back, when a friend won dered how he might have his tattoos preserved after he passes away, the two came up with an idea, Odd ity Central reported. They figured out a method for removing and preserving tattoos, then started a busi ness called Save My Ink Forever. “Some of these things really are pieces of art,” Kyle said. “Instead of having just the remains or the burial ... (fami lies) have actually a piece of their loved one.” The Sherwoods say their tech nique is proprietary, but it takes roughly three or four months. Families are left with a parchmentlike piece of art. “We are trying to do this in the most digni fied manner possible,” Kyle added. [Oddity Central, 11/2/2022]

A female lion at the Topeka Zoo in Kansas has grown a mane, The Tope ka Capitol-Journal report ed on Oct. 23. Zuri, 18, who lost her mate, Avus, in 2020, started producing more testosterone after his death, which has result ed in the butch look. “It’s nothing like the mane you would see on a fully sex ually mature male lion,” said Zuri’s curator, Shanna Simpson. “She looks like a teenaged male lion.” Zoo keepers said along with the mane, Zuri has become more feisty — growling, snarling and roaring more than before. “She feels like she needs to protect her pride, so her testosterone increases,” Simpson said.

A 1941 artwork by Dutch abstract artist Piet Mondrian has been found to have been hanging upside down in various museums

for 75 years, The Guardian reported. One could be for given for the mistake; the piece features interlaced red, yellow, black and blue adhesive tape strips that subtly thicken at the bot tom. But a photograph of Mondrian’s studio shows the same piece on an ea sel — with the “bottom” at the top. However, Susanne Meyer-Buser, curator of the North Rhine-Westpha lia’s art collection, said it will continue to be dis played upside down. “The adhesive tapes are already extremely loose and hang ing by a thread,” she said. “And it’s now part of the work’s story.” [Guardian, 10/28/2022]

UP A TREE

Tyler County (Texas) Deputy Cory LeBlanc and other first responders un dertook an unusual assign ment on Oct. 31, KFDMTV reported. An unnamed man who was bow hunting

for deer from a tree stand called 911 around 4:25 p.m. to report that he had fallen from his perch and was stuck upside down, 18 feet above the ground. The man’s ankle had become lodged in the framework of the stand. “We had the Spurger Volunteer Fire Department, DPS, Texas Parks and Wildlife on the way, all trying to help,” LeBlanc said. After an hour and a half of being heelsover-head, the man was lowered to the ground and was unhurt. His advice: “Use a harness. It was in my truck. I just got compla cent.” [KFDM, 11/1/2022]

WAIT, WHAT?

Designer Amanda Booth, 33, of Toronto, Can ada, has a business making jewelry, aptly named Trin kets by Amanda, Oddee

reported on Oct. 31. Her first pieces were of clay, but then a friend contacted her and asked if she could make a jewelry set from her son’s ashes. Booth has “never said no” to a friend, and the set inspired other customers — one who asked if she could use breast milk to make jewelry. She post ed about the jewelry on TikTok and business took off, including orders for items made with umbilical cords, placenta and hair. But the real creme de la creme came when people started requesting jewelry made from semen. Booth transforms the liquids to powder and mixes them with clay, then sculpts the jewelry piece. “I am an open-minded artist,” Booth said. [Oddee, 10/31/2022]

SPOOKY

— Linda Hill, owner of a rental home in Gaines ville, Texas, has ghosts, Fox News reported. Many ghosts. “We’ve got kids, and we’ve got old people, old guys, and we’ve got hook ers,” she said. The hook ers are the most common visitors, known to stroke a male renter’s face or their arm. “They try to stir up business, but they can’t fig ure out a way to conclude the transaction, so nothing ever happens,” she said. [Fox News, 11/1/2022]

— The Wozniak fami ly of Baltimore, looking to up their Halloween game, ordered a prop casket on Facebook Marketplace, Fox

News reported. But they got more than they bar gained for when they found the ashes of Edith Crews, who had died in January of COVID-19, inside. They also found a photograph of Crews, her death certificate and her hospital bracelet. The Wozniaks posted about the discovery on TikTok hoping to connect with her family members; Crews’ granddaughter happened to see the posting, and the items were returned. Crews’ family had rented the casket for the woman’s service from Freeman Fu neral Services, and she had been cremated afterward. [Fox News, 10/31/2022]

BRIGHT IDEA

Self-proclaimed “Brit ain’s dullest man” Kevin Beresford has your holiday shopping list solution: a 2023 calendar of Britain’s best parking lots, the Daily Record reported. Beresford traveled the country from one end to the other, photo graphing parking lots and later compiling his favor ites into a 12-month calen dar. His personal favorite was Trinity Street car park in Birmingham, featuring walls made of crushed cars and adorned with street art. Beresford, of Worces tershire, said he focuses on “slices of English life that nobody else does. I don’t create your normal conven tional calendars. It’s sexy being dull.” Beresford is single, ladies. [Daily Re cord, 10/22/2022]

Excess connective tissue can lead to outward skin condition

By Dr. Keith Roach DEAR DR. ROACH:

In my 40s, I developed lumps in the palm of my hands. I was diagnosed with Du puytren's contracture and underwent hand surgery to correct the condition. I also noticed similar lumps in the arches of my feet, which don’t cause any pain, so I’ve not sought treat ment for my feet.

Now in my mid-60s, I have experienced a severe bend in my penis. I assume it's Peyronie's disease. The bend has lessened over sev eral months. What is the cause and connection be tween these phenomenon? Should I seek treatment? -- B.M.

ANSWER: All three of the conditions you men tion are related to excess growth of connective tis sue. In the hand, Dupuy tren’s contracture is caused by excess growth of a con nective cell (called a fi broblast) in the superficial palmar fascia (fascia is the thick, tough connective tis sue found in many places in the body).

A very similar condi tion in the plantar fascia (“plantar” refers to the sole of the feet) is called plantar fibromatosis (also called Ledderhose disease).

Peyronie’s disease is also caused by excess growth of fibroblasts, with deposition of collagen plaques in the penis, caus ing pain and deformity of the penis. This, in turn, can

cause psychological dis tress and sexual dysfunc tion. Twenty-one percent of people with Peyronie’s also have Dupuy-tren’s contrac ture. It is thought that re peated trauma, whether to the hand, penis or foot, is a trigger for the abnormal fibroblast activity in people with a genetic predisposi tion.

Many men do not speak to their physician about Peyronie’s disease, so they don't get referred to a urologist, who can discuss the options for treatment. Treatment may include medications, injection and surgery, and referral to an expert is appropriate for all men in whom the condition is suspected.

DEAR DR. ROACH: My wife was diagnosed with liver cancer in January. We do not know how she got it, since she does not smoke, drink or do drugs -- and has no family history. She has lost about 50 pounds. She is currently receiving the immunotherapy drugs Te centriq and Avastin. These drugs worked for a while, but now they do not work as well.

My question is, could these drugs have caused this weight loss, since the side effects of both medi cations say that they might cause weight loss?

What else could she take, and what could we do to help her gain weight faster? Her legs are very

weak, and she has trouble walking. She has even fall en a few times. Thank you. -- H.R.

ANSWER: I am very sorry for your wife’s di agnosis. Many symptoms found in people with cancer can be caused either by the cancer or by its treatment, and it can be very hard to determine which is causing the symptoms.

Weight loss is an ex tremely common symptom in people with liver can cer, so it may not be either of these drugs causing the problem. Even though weight loss can happen with either of the medicines she is taking, 50 pounds makes me suspect the issue is more likely the cancer it self, rather than the drug. But, of course, both might be working together.

A registered dietician can help work with your wife to give her nutrition advice, which normally in cludes tasty, high-protein, nutrient-rich foods.

Her cancer doctors may help with anti-nausea medicines, treating any underlying depression and sometimes prescribing medicines to stimulate ap petite.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individ ual questions, but will incor porate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToY ourGoodHealth@med.cor nell.edu.
