Encinitas to rebuild Santa Fe

Council OKs overhaul due to lingering issues

By Cameron Adams

ENCINITAS — The Encinitas City Council voted to remove controversial features along a stretch of Santa Fe Drive, redoing a recently completed overhaul that will cost more than $3 million after months of back-and-forth debate between residents and public officials.

The changes affect approximately two-thirds of a mile of Santa Fe Drive, between Interstate 5 and Evergreen Drive, running directly south of San Dieguito Academy, the largest high school in Encinitas.

On Nov. 5, the City Council voted to widen vehicle lanes from 10 to 11 feet; eliminate the roadside planter boxes and the separated bike lane on the south side of the road (although the protected lane on the school side will remain); and convert the 46 back-in parking spaces into 44 to 47 parallel spots.

City staff presented three redesign options and will return with a final plan for approval at a future meeting. The council selected “Option B,” the most expensive of the three, at an estimated cost between $3.4 million and $3.6 million, according to city documents.

Between state grants and city general funds, Encinitas has approximately $4 million available for construction.

Since its installation, the Santa Fe Drive project has been a local flashpoint and political football. State Sen. Catherine Blakespear, a former Encinitas mayor, helped secure $3 million in state funding for the project, which

Study: Carlsbad among happiest US cities

By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD —

A recent study of Instagram photos found that Carlsbad ranks among the happiest U.S. beach cities of its size.

Beach.com collected 100,000 photos from the social media platform and ran them through an artificial intelligence model called DeepFace to identify expressiveness and happiness in coastal communities. The study analyzed 100 beach towns and cities within 25 miles of a coast and with fewer than 250,000 residents.

Carlsbad ranked 10th on

the list, just ahead of neighboring Oceanside, which placed 13th.

DeepFace is an open-source facial recognition system developed by researchers at Facebook.

Noah Holtgraves, lead data journalist for Beach.com, said DeepFace recognizes seven broad emotions and assigns each a confidence score. The emotion with the highest confidence score is considered the primary emotion. If multiple people were expressing happi-

From staff and wire reports

ESCONDIDO — The Sierra Club has filed a lawsuit challenging the San Diego County Board of Supervisors’ recent approval of the Harmony Grove Village South development, which the environmental organization says will be located in a high fire-risk area with only one evacuation route in the event of a wildfire.

The lawsuit filed last Friday is the latest opposition to the 111-acre project approved last month by the Board of Supervisors, which would feature 453 residential units, 5,000 square feet of commercial/ civic space, four acres of private and public parks, two miles of public multiuse trails and pathways, and approximately 35 acres of biological open space.

The project’s opponents, which include some residents of the Elfin Forest and Harmony Grove communities who packed a Supervisors’ hearing that resulted in the project’s approval, say the development could add as many as 1,000 extra vehicles on the lone two-lane road leading out of the area should a wildfire spark.

The Sierra Club further alleges that the additional vehicles will contribute to excessive greenhouse gas emissions.

“The Harmony Grove project is textbook sprawl development within a high fire-risk area,’’ Sierra Club Legal Chair Dave Hogan said. “Surrounded by protected open space and without convenient access to services, the plan conflicts with the Board of Supervisors’ own policy for sustainable growth in fire safe and VMT-efficient areas adopted in the 2024 County Climate Action Plan and exposes surrounding communities to dangerous fire conditions.’’

The location is ap-

proximately one mile west of the city of Escondido, situated south and east of the San Marcos city limits, and north of the Del Dios Highlands Preserve.

According to the Sierra Club, the development is surrounded by protected natural open space.

“The county’s recent approval of Harmony Grove relies on an Environmental Impact Report that fails to account for new state and county regulations, including updated standards for vehicle miles traveled, greenhouse gas emissions, and wildfire safety,’’ said Isabella Coye, an attorney for the Sierra Club.

After

50 years of serving handmade pizzas and Italian dishes in Encinitas, Borrelli’s Pizza & Italian Food has closed its doors following a court-ordered eviction from its longtime location on North El Camino Real.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office issued a notice to vacate the restaurant at 285 N. El Camino Real, Suite 106, ordering the premises to be turned over to the landlord.

Sheriff's deputies posted a notice of commercial eviction on the front door of the now-vacant Italian restaurant located among a group of medical office spaces known as El Camino Center.

The eviction stems from an unlawful detainer complaint filed in San Diego Superior Court by the building’s owner, 285 N El Camino MOB (Medical Office Buildings) LLC, over unpaid rent owed by Ralph Borrelli Sr., Ralph Borrelli Jr., Benjamin and Elen Osmanson and High Class Ventures LLC.

A judge later granted the landlord possession, and the sheriff set a lockout for Nov. 5.

ShareMD, an Encinitas-based real estate firm that acquires and manages medical office spaces nationwide, lists the El Camino Center buildings among its managed properties.

Founded in 1975 by Ralph and Shirley Borrelli, the family-owned pizzeria

became an Encinitas institution, first operating at 1401 Encinitas Blvd., where the Ortho Mattress store now stands.

The restaurant later moved to its El Camino Real location, continuing to serve classic East Coast-style pizzas, pastas and sandwiches to loyal customers.

According to previous media reports, Borrelli’s thrived when Encinitas had

only a handful of pizza parlors, including Best-A-Wan in Cardiff.

The restaurant remained a community staple even as national chains and boutique pizzerias multiplied across North County.

“A lot of people who were here the first week we opened in 1975 are still with us,” said Ralph Borrelli Jr. in 2012. “It’s been a pleasure to have a business all these years, and I want to thank all the people who support us. They are truly the reason we are still here.”

Some residents have reported the Borrelli family sold the business a few years ago.

However, documents filed with the California Secretary of State as recently as Jan. 22, 2024, list Ralph Borrelli Jr. as the restaurant’s CEO, secretary and CFO.

It remains unclear the family’s level of involvement in ownership of the restaurant at the time of closure.

Protecting veterans from costs of service

By Cristina Johnson

The strength and security of the country have long depended on the courage of service members, as well as their families, who have sustained them throughout their careers. Concurrently, they form the foundation of national defense through exemplifying resilience and sacrifice.

As such, the annual traditions held every November — the Veterans Day and the National Veterans and Military Families Month — provide critical opportunities to reflect not only on their service but also on our commitment to care for them even after they return home.

This contemplation is more crucial in North San Diego County, where many years of military operations have created unforeseen environmental hazards. At this time, the region calls for stronger safeguards to successfully address the dire impacts of exposure to dangerous substances — such as asbestos, lead, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), burn pit fumes, and Agent Orange — which continue to affect service members, their families, and local communities.

located just 27 miles south of Encinitas, this mineral was used extensively to insulate eight boiler tanks and line their ancillary piping.

Community Commentary Bring civility back to City Hall

Encinitas City Councilman Luke Shaffer is the man some local activists love to hate. Despite his strong record of service, transparency and commitment to Encinitas — not Sacramento — Shaffer has become a target for the state-aligned, central-planning crowd.

Shaffer is a retired Marine, a husband, a father, a youth coach and a neighbor who has given his time to this community.

Yet this organized activist faction has chosen to magnify an unfortunate incident — something that didn’t even merit a police call when it occurred — into a public spectacle that now threatens to send him to prison for more than four years.

tently voted in favor of humanitarian causes.

The council’s record speaks for itself: CRC funding, Safe Parking, ICE rules of engagement and homeless outreach — all approved unanimously, 5-0.

These are not the actions of a council lacking compassion.

Local control remains the core issue, especially as Sacramento imposes housing mandates that override local zoning, disregard infrastructure limits, and overlook fire safety and evacuation concerns.

Military service comes with various inevitable dangers. Yet while active duty personnel receive training to handle the immediate physical threats of combat, many find themselves unprepared for the long-term consequences of exposure to toxic chemicals believed to be revolutionary advancements in defense technology.

Among the most concerning is asbestos, a mineral renowned for its remarkable versatility and low cost. Such advantageous properties have driven military branches — particularly the Navy — to rely heavily on asbestos in the construction of their equipment.

As a result, sailors were at an elevated risk of exposure, much like the shipyard workers, extensive research has demonstrated. Even at installations like Marine Corps Air Station Miramar,

However, exposure to asbestos-containing materials has long been associated with deadly illnesses and has caused the death of 27,080 residents in California from 1999 to 2017, including 2,905 in San Diego County alone.

Still, asbestos is far from the only hazard that has shaped the region’s military legacy. Across North County, years of defense activity have left a complicated trail of contamination whose impacts extend well beyond the confines of former installations.

Nowhere is this more evident than at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base in Oceanside, which the Environmental Protection Agency has designated as a Superfund site after identifying nine areas of concern that require ongoing remediation.

Groundwater testing within the base has also detected per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) concentrations reaching as high as 996.1 parts per trillion, placing families and neighboring communities that depend on shared water sources at significant risk.

North San Diego County’s profound military connection exemplifies both pride and serious responsibility. That is why honoring veterans and their families cannot just end with ceremonies or symbolic gestures — it also underscores the urgent need to address the environmental as well as health burdens that have followed them home.

Legislative advancements, specifically the Honoring Our PACT Act of 2022, have begun to close long-standing gaps in care by broadening access to medical services and compensation for veterans severely impacted by toxic substances.

Since its enforcement, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has processed

As of September 2025, almost two million veterans have already had their applications approved, while thousands have received over $6.8 billion in benefits in 2024.

Yet, even with these soaring numbers, the fact remains that numerous individuals and families still struggle to receive prompt care, adequate financial aid, and transparent information about the risks of chemical contamination that insidiously affect their communities.

Recent federal initiatives — such as the expanded survivor benefits and newly passed VA Home Loan Program — also represent meaningful steps toward restoring that trust. But they must be paired with local vigilance, continued environmental testing, public reporting of cleanup progress at sites like Camp Pendleton, and medical outreach programs that actively involve affected families.

For the thousands of veterans who settled in Encinitas, Oceanside, Carlsbad, and nearby cities after years of service, this accountability is not a privilege but a promise that has yet to be fully honored.

This November’s observances of Veterans Day and National Veterans and Military Families Month should therefore mark more than remembrance — they should reaffirm a shared duty to safeguard those who have already sacrificed in service to the nation.

Upholding that duty in North County means making sure that recognition is matched with reform and that gratitude finds its most genuine expression in lasting care, environmental safety, and justice for every veteran and family who call this community home.

Cristina Johnson is a Navy

advocate for the Asbestos Ships Organization.

That should give every fair-minded resident pause. Do we really want to see a man who has served his country and community with honor imprisoned over what appears to be a politically motivated overreaction?

The alleged “victim” in this case is represented by Marco Gonzalez, a local figure in political and legal circles who has become closely aligned with the same Sacramento-driven network pushing high-density mandates and weakening local control.

Coincidence or coordination?

Which brings us to these activists themselves. It’s an odd alliance: people who once fought to protect local character now marching in lockstep with the same development interests they once opposed.

Their so-called “progressive” housing agenda now serves the financial goals of Wall Street funds and institutional investors, extracting local equity from homeowners and transferring it to corporate landlords.

There is no room for state or national politics at City Hall. Local government should be about neighbors solving problems, not party platforms or Sacramento agendas.

Yet Sacramento’s influence has crept into every corner of our cities, turning once-civil debates about housing, zoning and safety into ideological battlegrounds.

Councilman Luke Shaffer is the latest, but by no means the only, victim.

This current council was elected by a strong majority on a simple promise: restore transparency and local control.

As a centrist, I struggle to understand why some on the political fringes continue to attack a council that has consis-

The Clark Avenue project is one example. The council, hearing legitimate fears about neighborhood safety, voted to seek independent legal guidance to clarify its options. The 4-1 vote wasn’t anti-housing; it was pro-responsibility.

The lone dissent came from Councilmember Joy Lyndes, aligned with the same local activists and state Sen. Catherine Blakespear, who continues to promote high-density, developer-driven projects backed by moneyed interests. Anyone willing to step forward and run for local office deserves respect. It takes courage to face the noise, social media attacks and relentless criticism that come with public service.

But that respect becomes conditional when the local office is treated as a stepping stone to higher ambitions.

When candidates start thinking more about the next rung on the ladder than the people they represent, our cities lose. City leaders who wish to serve their communities without political calculation are a gift.

Encinitas deserves better than this circus. We can debate projects, policies and processes with passion, but we must do so with civility and fairness.

The men and women serving on our council are not villains — they are our neighbors, trying to navigate an impossible set of state mandates while preserving the safety, character and livability of our city.

City Hall is not a campaign launchpad or a battlefield for Sacramento’s political games. It’s where we decide, together, what kind of community we want to live in.

Let’s bring back respect, reason and local focus.

Encinitas is not a brand or a stepping stone — it’s our home.

Race chaplain’s church is Del Mar backstretch

Chaplaincy serves those far from spotlight

By Jordan P. Ingram DEL MAR —

As thou-

sands of fans packed the Del Mar Racetrack for the Breeders’ Cup this past weekend, gathering beneath purple banners and fresh flower displays to watch gleaming thoroughbreds, hundreds of backstretch workers labored quietly behind the scenes.

Starting as early as 3 a.m., grooms, hotwalkers, exercise riders and stable hands were already at work — mucking stalls in the shedrow, brushing down million-dollar horses with rubber currycombs, and legging riders up for morning workouts ahead of racing’s premier event.

Moving among them was Chaplain Eli Hernandez, a former drug and alcohol counselor from East Los Angeles who now leads the ministry serving backstretch workers at Del Mar and Santa Anita race tracks.

Before spectators filled the grandstands and suites — wagering more than $180 million for the third-highest total handle in Breeders’ Cup history — Hernandez and volunteers held a small barbecue behind the barns, offering free meals, backpacks filled with school supplies and Bibles for more

than 300 workers.

“Our goal is to serve the people with an open heart,” Hernandez said. “We want to let people know that we care about them. We love them.”

Hernandez begins most mornings on the backside of the track, greeting stable hands pushing wheelbarrows of manure and hauling hay bales and buckets of feed; grooms tightening girths, adjusting bridles and

tacking up; and the gate crew checking hinges and clanging the metal doors of the starting stalls.

He also visits backstretch workers in their rooms — many of whom live on site during meets — offering friendly conversation, rides to appointments or a quiet place to rest in his office near the stables.

Hernandez belongs to the Race Track Chaplaincy of California, a nonprofit

organization that serves the racetracks of Del Mar, Santa Anita and San Luis Rey. The group provides on-site support for workers who live and labor behind the scenes.

Chaplains walk the grounds daily, visiting injured workers and jockeys in hospitals and offering food, clothing, transportation, and English and GED programs. They also lead prerace prayers, interdenominational services, weddings,

funerals and crisis counseling.

The ministry began in 1970, when former exercise rider Salty Roberts, who knew firsthand the hardships of backstretch life, organized the first chapel service in a repurposed paint shop near the quarter pole at Calder Race Course (later renamed Gulfstream West).

Fifty-three years later, Roberts’ effort has grown into a national network of

45 chaplains serving racetracks across the country.

“The racetrack is a different community,” said Dan Waits, executive director of the Race Track Chaplaincy of America. “A lot of them work seven days a week, and they can’t go to church like everybody else. So, we bring the church to them.

“Overall, I think the chaplaincy is as strong as it’s been in a long time. The chaplain’s presence on the racetrack makes everything better for everybody. But not for our glory, for God’s glory.”

At Del Mar, the chaplaincy office sits just steps from the wash racks and stalls. Inside, a few chairs and a sofa provide a place where workers stop between morning and afternoon training to sit quietly or nap before returning to long, physically demanding shifts.

“Some of them will sit on our sofas and fall asleep, and that’s okay,” Hernandez said. “These are the hardest-working individuals. And what I notice more than anything… they don’t complain.”

A small team of chaplaincy workers and volunteers regularly distributes groceries and basic supplies and assists workers with paperwork or transportation for medical care.

During difficult financial times, resources such as TURN TO CHAPLAIN ON 18

Commissioners unanimously recommended approval of the project at their Nov. 4 meeting in a 4-0-1 vote, with commissioner Darcy Thompson absent. Commissioner Lisa De Jesus said while it doesn’t necessarily match the look of other buildings in the area, she likes the appearance of the project.

“I think it’s an attractive project. It’s hard to make anything sort of fit in an infill project without, you know, disturbing the aesthetics,” De Jesus said. “I like that there’s affordable units — we need them.”

Due to the inclusion of affordable units, the project is granted a density bonus of 18.8%, allowing an increase in the existing density of 40 dwelling units per acre to around 62 units per acre.

The density bonus also brings concessions and waivers of local development standards. This includes a decrease in parking requirements, from the 45 spots usually required to just 33 spots, equal to one per unit.

Commissioners ex-

pressed some concern about the lack of parking, but recognized that the state density bonus law ties their hands.

Commissioner Bill Martin questioned why the designs showed all of the affordable units grouped in the same part of the building. City staff said that they are working on a regulatory agreement with the developer, which requires the units to be spread throughout the building in compliance with state law.

The 33 units will be divided among the top three floors, with 11 units on each level. The first floor will feature covered parking spaces, a lobby, a mail room, and areas for bike storage and trash disposal. Amenities will include an outdoor dog run, a coworking space on the second floor, and roof

The Planning Commission first reviewed the project in 2023, but it was sent back due to concerns about trash access and fire access, both of which have since been resolved, city staff said.

Palomar president takes Riverside post

By Leo Place

SAN

MARCOS —

Palomar College Superintendent/President Dr. Star Rivera-Lacey is departing the community college after more than four years of leadership to take a management role in the Riverside Community College District.

Rivera-Lacey will be joining Riverside Community College as its first Deputy Chancellor/Provost, where she will oversee all district operations and act as the chancellor in their absence. Her last day at Palomar will be Nov. 30, she said in a statement to Palomar employees on Nov. 4.

“I want to thank each of you for your unwavering dedication, collaboration, and care for our students and for one another. It is my deepest hope that Palomar College continues to shine as a model of excellence, innovation, and equity, remaining steadfast in its mission to empower students and transform lives,” Rivera-Lacey said in her statement.

The Palomar College Board of Trustees will begin the process of selecting a new superintendent/ president in the coming weeks.

“We are grateful to Dr. Rivera-Lacey for her dedicated service to Palomar College for the past 4.5 years and wish her well in her next endeavor at the Riverside Community College District,” said Palomar spokesperson Julie Lanthier Bandy.

Rivera-Lacey has emphasized the importance of promoting equity, inclusion, diversity, and accessibility during her tenure at Palomar, helping to define the college’s reputation as a leader in these areas.

Under her leadership, the college established the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Antiracism, as well as the position of Chief Diversity Officer.

In her email to faculty, she highlighted various accomplishments over the past four years related to these values, including: supporting students

impacted by the justice system through the Rising Scholars Program; expanding basic needs and mental health resources; establishing the Cariño Dream Village; expanding spaces for Umoja and the Pride Center; launching a planning initiative for a program to support Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander students.

“Students, please, please, always remember, this is your home. Your voice matters, your education matters, and the whole reason we exist? It’s for you, and the betterment of your future, and the generations to come,” Rivera-Lacey said, speaking through emotion at the Governing Board’s Nov. 5 meeting.

Several staff members, students, and college leaders expressed their appreciation for Rivera-Lacey, noting her commitment to supporting all students.

“Today, I find myself holding two very strong emotions. I was really happy for Dr. Rivera-Lacey … Riverside Community College is incredibly lucky to have her. At the same time, it’s a deep sadness for us, because we’re losing an exceptional leader,” said Trustee Robert Rodriguez.

Associated Student Government (ASG) President Yaretzi Hernandez said seeing Rivera-Lacey as the college’s first Latina president inspired her also to pursue leadership roles on campus.

“Dr. Star, on behalf of the Associated Student Government, and as the voice of the students, your leadership has had a lasting impact on the student body. Your consistent compassion and support for the student voice have shaped the Palomar culture and environment,” Hernandez said.

Rivera-Lacey’s resignation announcement comes at a time of turmoil for Palomar, after the Board of Trustees’ controversial decision on Oct. 14 to roll back its anti-racism board policy in response to

signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on June 30.

Carlsbad approves code updates Ordinances cover

building, fire prevention

By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD

— The Carlsbad City Council last week introduced ordinances to align with updated state building and fire codes.

The council unanimously approved two separate ordinances at its Nov. 4 meeting — one for building codes and another for fire prevention — which will return for adoption at the Dec. 2 City Council meeting.

The municipal updates follow the passage of Assembly Bill 130, a new state law

AB 130 seeks “to build more housing, faster, and create strong affordable pathways for every Californian” by imposing an almost six-year freeze on municipal building code changes from Oct. 1 until June 1, 2031, according to a news release.

Under the new law, code changes are only allowed if one of the following conditions is met: the change was in effect as of Sept. 30; it is an emergency standard to protect health and safety; it addresses wildfire vulnerability; or it relates to previously adopted local general plans aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Carlsbad last approved its building standards code

on July 1, 2022, with effective dates from Jan. 1, 2023, through Dec. 31, 2025, according to city documents.

Mike Strong, assistant director of community development for Carlsbad, said the new code “fully meets the intent” of AB 130. The ordinance introduced last week included “only minor, mostly technical updates to ensure consistency and compliance with recent state revisions and local code amendments,” according to city documents.

Strong said building permit applications submitted before Jan. 1, 2026, will still be reviewed under the 2022 code.

Fire Marshal Darcy Davidson said the city’s introduced fire prevention code complies fully with AB 130

and would not impose any new regulations on residential properties.

The state law allows municipalities to adopt codes that are stricter than the state standard. AB 130 also exempts “home hardening” — measures that make homes and their surroundings more resistant to wildfires — from the six-year moratorium.

Carlsbad continued several existing home-hardening provisions that “reflect Carlsbad’s unique conditions and risks,” according to city documents.

Councilmember Kevin Shin said he appreciated the “quite substantial” work performed by city staff to update the codes, calling it important though “not a hot topic.”

CRC feeling shutdown’s pinch

By Leo Place

ENCINITAS — As the federal government continues to experience its longest shut down in history, implementing chaotic pauses in SNAP benefits and delayed paychecks for federal workers and military service members, North County organizations are feeling the impacts of increased food insecurity.

One organization facing this first-hand is the Community Resource Center (CRC) in Encinitas, which offers a variety of social services to low-income families in North County, including providing free food to over 600 households a month.

In the past week, CRC officials say the organization has seen around 50 new clients requesting food, many of whom have large families they need to feed. This increased need has put a strain on the center’s resources, with volunteers working late into the night when shelves and refrigerators sit largely empty until new deliveries come in the morning.

“It’s not just the number of visits, but the household side that is adding a demand,” said CRC Volunteer Manager Sara Rosenbaum

said. “You don’t want to say no to someone coming in with five kids.”

On Monday, CRC held a food drive to help bolster their supply, asking the community to donate high-need items such as fresh produce, canned meats and pastas, sauce, canned beans and vegetables, healthy snacks, and coffee.

Throughout the morning and early afternoon, community members drove to the alley behind the food pantry on Second Street to drop off goods. Local businesses, including Berger Hardware Inc. and Superior Floor and Cabinet Designs, have also been holding food drives benefitting CRC that are lasting until Dec. 15.

Macrina Ocampo, a CRC client who came to the client choice pantry at the Food and Nutrition Center on Monday, said she relies on the CRC for food to meet her family’s needs and also save money for other expenses.

She has three children, ages 3, 7, and 10, and recently found out Medi-Cal won’t cover one of their medications, adding another outof-pocket expense for the family.

“Practically everything I make, well, it’s for rent, for bills, so there’s not enough,” Ocampo said, speaking in Spanish.

She said she likes coming to the CRC and expressed gratitude to the volunteers and community members

who have donated food.

“The help they give here is very beneficial, because there are a lot of families in need,” Ocampo said.

Natalie Shapiro dropped off several shopping bags of food on Monday morning, including one of the most in-demand items — apples. Because CRC takes produce directly and provides it to clients, the center can guarantee more freshness than if it were a third-party distributor.

Shapiro encouraged other people to donate food or money to organizations like CRC that are assisting those in need.

“It’s just a tough time,”

MiraCosta highlights veteran program success story

By Staff

OCEANSIDE — As the nation honors those who served on Veterans Day, MiraCosta College recognizes the nearly 5,000 veterans, active-duty service members and military dependents it serves each year through its award-winning Veteran Services programs.

Among the many stories of perseverance and transformation is that of Army veteran and MiraCosta College student Mike Umhra, whose journey embodies the resilience and dedication of the veteran community.

When Umhra returned to MiraCosta College in the summer of 2023, he was at a crossroads. After a 12-year military career that took him to 47 countries and saw him rise through the ranks, the retired Army veteran was searching for a new path forward.

“The pace of my life changed in an instant,”

Umhra said. “I had been to combat. I was a paratrooper. I worked in special operations. Most people don’t have the tempo I had for a 12-year career.”

The transition to civilian life brought its own challenges.

“There were a lot of emotions in the beginning,” he said. “Going from a career where I was a leader in my field to now not knowing what I’m doing. I felt worthless.”

Umhra’s return to MiraCosta College was a decision rooted in unfinished business. More than a decade earlier, he had attended college as a young student before enlisting in the military. In 2023, he returned determined to complete what he had started.

This time, he found a dramatically different experience. MiraCosta College’s Veteran Services helped him navigate his transition back to academic life, con-

necting him with resources, guidance, and a network of mentors who believed in his potential.

“My perception of myself was always low when it came to the world of education,” Umhra said. “I remember in third grade I got told I couldn’t read at the right level and that lack of support and self-doubt persisted even as I got older.”

That began to change through the encouragement of his professors and counselors, who recognized his natural gift for storytelling and creative expression.

“In 30-plus years of my life and education from preschool to high school and some college, I had never had a teacher tell me I was good at something,” he said. “It was so jarring at first that

I didn’t even want to believe it.”

His dedication and growing confidence led him to the Warrior-Scholar Project, an academic “boot camp” experience for veterans. Umhra was accepted into the program and attended classes at Harvard University, where he excelled and gained new clarity about his future.

“I have never thought so hard in my life,” he said. “I felt like I was on deployment, but in an educational setting. I was learning so much and soaking it all in.”

Today, Umhra’s poetry is being published, and he continues to grow as a writer. He plans to become a therapist with a minor in journalism, hoping to support others who have experienced trauma similar to his own.

“Education has been the most healing thing for me,” Umhra said. “As a veteran, people see that I’m

here and I’m doing it. But it hasn’t been easy overcoming what I have been through. I still carry that struggle into my work and my drive for the future.”

Faculty and staff see in Umhra a powerful example of what’s possible when veterans are given the tools and support they deserve.

“When veterans thrive, it represents not only their successful academic transition but also personal transformation and growth,” said faculty member Jacob Strona.

“MiraCosta consistently invests in resources, specialized programs, and supportive services tailored specifically to veterans' unique needs, creating a welcoming environment that actively honors their service and facilitates their academic and personal success.”

Veteran stung by phone scam

Fraudsters’ knowledge of victim’s info made scheme more convincing

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— A veteran family is continuing to recover after losing $34,000 to a phone scam only a few weeks before Veterans Day, with the Oceanside Police Department currently investigating the case.

On Thomas Eberhardt’s 76th birthday in late October, he received a call from a woman who allegedly worked for Apple. Identifying herself as Tima Bell, the woman told Eberhardt there were multiple fraud alerts on his account with several charges that appeared to be withdrawing large sums of money. She told him the withdrawals appeared to be linked to racketeering and money laundering schemes.

At first, he wasn’t concerned, because he knew he wasn’t involved in any such illegal activities. She then asked to look at his phone, still posing as Apple, to download a cursor app that would allow her to appear to scroll through his phone and the alleged charges.

“That was the wrong thing to do,” Eberhardt said. “She scrolled so fast I couldn’t recognize the charges I was being shown.”

She then gave him a number allegedly for J.P. Morgan & Chase Bank, where he is a customer. He knew that Chase Bank would never call him asking for information, so it seemed legitimate that he would need to call them.

When he called, he spoke to a man claiming to be Jonathan Hunt, who told him he saw several large charges amounting in tens of thousands of dollars on his account. He put Eberhardt on hold to “attempt” to get rid of them; and when he came back, he said he had successfully eliminated all but one $24,000 “prequalified” charge, which he explained could only happen if Eberhardt had signed for and authorized it, which he didn’t.

Hunt, who was allegedly working with a supervisor to help Eberhardt, said the charges could have been the work of an inside job through multiple people who worked for Chase trying to get his money. To stop the “prequalified” charge, he told Eberhardt he would need to withdraw the money from his account and put it back in to override the charge.

Hunt then told Eberhardt that because he could only withdraw and put back in a limited amount of money each day, he would have a courier come to pick up the money to have it deposited back into the account. He also asked Eberhardt to share a password with him to help identify the courier.

The man also told Eberhardt that no one else could know about this, otherwise it could implicate them in the illegal scheme, and potentially cause other bad things to happen.

At one point the call dropped, and when Hunt called back, he appeared angry and threatening with Eberhardt.

“He told me this is serious, you can’t be fooling around — someone could get hurt,” Eberhardt said. “I was following instructions because I thought it was the

right thing to do.”

The Tima Bell and Jonathan Hunt characters also appeared to know everything about Eberhardt, including his account information, where he lived, and other sensitive information, which made the scheme more convincing – and threatening.

Eberhardt quickly left his home on Camp Pendleton, where he lives in veteran military housing with his wife Idona and daughter Amanda, without telling them what was going on.

He then went to the Chase Bank location at 1040 Mission Avenue in Oceanside, where he withdrew $24,000.

Both his daughter and wife questioned why they were never alerted about this large withdrawal by the bank, considering they are both on the account with him.

In response to an inquiry from The Coast News, a Chase Bank spokesperson explained via email that “the customer either declined to answer or stated it was for a red Corvette as a birthday gift, claiming to have seen and test-driven the car,” after branch staff asked him about the withdrawals.

The customer also ap-

peared to show no signs of distress during his interactions with branch staff, they said. Eberhardt said he doesn’t remember saying that at all.

After withdrawing the money, Eberhardt met the alleged courier by the Wendy’s at 1002 Mission Avenue, which is located only a few hundred yards away in the same shopping center as the Chase Bank. There, he met a man who spoke English but partially covered his face by wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap. He handed the money contained in a taped package over to the man, who left with it.

The next day, Hunt called back and said there were still attempts being made to get more money out of his bank. He instructed Eberhardt to once again remove the money, but instead of using a courier to pick it up, he asked him to ship it through UPS to an address in Flushing, a neighborhood in Queens, New York.

Eberhardt went to another Chase Bank at 2580 El Camino Real in Carlsbad to withdraw the $10,000 from a different account, then went to a local UPS store to send it off. An hour

Tips to avoid falling victim to phone scams

Chase Bank shared the following security tips for customers:

• Do not respond to phone, text or internet requests for money or access to computer or bank accounts. Banks will never call, text or email asking for you to send money to yourself or anyone else to prevent fraud.

• If you receive a call from someone claiming to be from your bank, the best thing to do is hang up immediately and call your bank at the number on the

back of your debit or credit card.

• A bank will never call and ask you to verify information about your account, but we may need to verify information when you call us.

• Consider adding a call protector app to your phone to flag calls that are likely scams. Set up a code word with your close circle and always confirm callers by contacting them back on a phone number you know to be theirs.

Santa Fe gives reservoir update

By Leo Place SOLANA BEACH

— Community members living near the Larrick Reservoir along Glenmont Drive are urging the Santa Fe Irrigation District to consider their input, as the district plans multimillion-dollar updates to the reservoir and pump station and the potential creation of a pocket park.

The Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) provides water to around 20,000 people in Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch, with 6 million gallons of water stored at Larrick Reservoir at its Solana Beach service property.

Originally built in 1965, the above-ground concrete tank requires seismic retrofitting to its roof, along with other improvements on the approximately 3-acre site like improved drainage, a new driveway and upgrades to the pump station.

During a Nov. 5 presentation to the City Council, SFID Director of Engineering Services Marissa Potter provided brief updates on the reservoir project. SFID plans to finalize design work by the spring of 2026 and award a contract in the fall, with construction to start in the winter. Work will likely take around two years and be finished in winter of 2028.

The project is expected to cost around $14 million, and is expected to be the first major renovation work involving the tank.

“Our estimated project cost for this was originally about $5 million,” Potter said, noting that the original estimate came in 2021. “Costs have really significantly increased, but the board is moving forward with the project components of the design.”

Potter said the district is also accounting for plans for the Glenmont Neighborhood Pocket Park, which proposes a small passive recreation area including a walking trail, landscaping and plants, a pollinator garden and possible seating. Solana Beach councilmembers and residents expressed disappointment that there wasn’t more detailed information about the design of the park or the reservoir improvements.

ments, but decided to retrofit the existing roof rather than replacing it. Steel beams will be installed inside the tank to support areas of the roof that are starting to sag.

There are no plans to paint the roof or the tank at this time, she said.

Mayor Lesa Heebner, who lives across from the reservoir site, emphasized the importance of making at least some visual improvements to the tank.

“It’s really in disrepair. It is an eyesore in our neighborhood right now, so it really needs to be taken care of. It’s a little patchy, so I think we’re all a little disappointed it’s not going to be replaced,” Heebner said.

Potter reiterated that designs are still being completed, so there is time for the irrigation district to consider various options. She also encouraged members of the public and City Council to come to an SFID board meeting to provide input more directly.

Some residents also asked if there was a way to move up the timeline for the pocket park, so it could be done sooner than 2028.

“We’ve been waiting more than 10 years, and we just keep getting put off, is how we feel. Anything you can do to move it along a little faster would be lovely,” Cindy Clemons said.

While the park will be on SFID property, it has mainly been planned and pushed forward by the city. Over the past few years, staff have gathered input from residents and even completed conceptual designs for the park.

Solana Beach City Manager Alyssa Muto said negotiations with SFID regarding the park were delayed while they waited for more information about the rest of the reservoir project. However, they will continue to work together to see if park construction could possibly start sooner.

“I was hoping for a little more to comment on, like, what really is this project gonna look like? I have no clue, other than it’s gonna take two years and cost $14 million dollars,” said Tracey Richmond, who lives close to the reservoir.

Residents said they are eager to see aesthetic improvements to the reservoir, which some refer to as an eyesore, including a new roof and paint job on the tank. Others suggested putting in a green belt along the barbed wire fence so it looks less stark.

Potter said the irrigation district studied the possibility of a new roof to meet seismic retrofit require-

“There is no agreement presently in place, because we are waiting to find out what their seismic retrofit project would entail, so [not] until we knew what that yielded and what area they would need to use for what construction components, could we be able to resume that negotiation” Muto said.

The planned park site will be a construction staging area at least during the first stage of the project, but there’s a possibility work on the park could take place soon after that phase is done, Potter said. “We want to make sure all our improvements still maximize the use for the future pocket park,” she said.

SFID recently completed a project to replace their water pipelines in the Glenmont area, which had some impacts on the street and water service. There will not be any impacts to water service during the reservoir project, Potter said.

Oceanside adopts new system for sports field use

Policy outlines priority groups for clubs, schools

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —

After years of discussion about how to prioritize which sports groups get first access to fields, gyms and other recreational facilities, the City Council recently agreed to move forward with a new user group classification guide.

Since 2010, Oceanside Parks and Recreation staff have relied on the same user group classifications to allocate fields, courts and other facilities under the Facility Rental Packet. Despite its longevity, the packet had several deficiencies, including a lack of guidance on specific issues that left staff to make decisions based on their best judgment and industry standards.

One major issue surfaced in 2022 when it was discovered that Coastal Academy, a local charter high school, had been placed in the same classification group as Oceanside Unified School District programs.

The city’s joint-use agreement with the school district gave its sports programs higher priority than other groups, including Coastal, which does not have a joint-use agreement and was not part of OUSD’s arrangement.

Although staff corrected the error, the damage was done, leaving several local user groups feeling slighted. Some community members also questioned whether there was a bias toward Coastal Academy among staff.

In response to accusations of favoritism toward specific schools and groups, the city hired a third-party firm to investigate the claims. The firm’s investigation recommended changes to improve field access in Oceanside but found no evidence of preferential treatment or harm to any other clubs.

The packet also failed to distinguish between resident and nonresident organizations, prompting staff to establish a 70% residency standard consistent with neighboring cities. However, the rule was never formally adopted, leading to confusion among sports groups.

The Parks and Recreation Commission formed an ad hoc committee in November 2021 to collaborate with the community on addressing these issues. It was during one of these meet-

“The more happy faces, the higher the score. The more confident AI is in that happiness, the higher the score,” Holtgraves said.

she violated the City of Oceanside Code of Ethics and Conduct for Elected and Appointed Officials at the Sept. 30 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting.

The group asked that she recuse herself from the discussion and be “publicly censored by the City Council for these breaches.”

The complaint alleged ethics violations for allowing herself to be introduced by the commission’s secretary as “Mayor Esther Sanchez” three times, “intimidating” one commissioner during the final vote, and failing to remain impartial.

City Attorney Steven Burke said the complaint had “no factual basis on which we would find a conflict of interest at this time.”

Sanchez said she was “surprised and hurt” by the suggestion that she violated ethics policy, given the time she has spent working on the issue over the years. She also said she has personal relationships with those involved in the complaint — some dating back to her childhood.

The complaint listed Wilson Godinet, Arleen Hammerschmidt, Wayne Godinet, Paul Paopao, James Greer, Sheldon Brown, Raquel Alvarez and Madelyn Lee.

“We want to be partners in this community,” said Glen Henton, the school’s athletic director.

Here are the remaining priority groupings:

Priority Group 6

Recreational Youth Groups: Similar to Group 3, but with a minimum of 51% Oceanside residents. This group pays the same fees as Group 3 but has lower priority.

Priority Group 7Competitive (Elite) Youth Groups: Similar to Group 4, but with a minimum of 51% Oceanside residents. This group pays the same fees as Group 4 but has lower priority.

ings in 2022 that the Coastal Academy error came to light.

The ad hoc committee was later converted into a permanent standing committee in early 2023 and continued to work on the issue until Sept. 30 of this year.

In November 2023, the standing committee presented an updated draft of the user group classification to the Parks and Recreation Commission, which directed staff to further revise the facility rental packet and user group classifications based on public input. That draft would then be returned to the standing committee and the full commission for recommendations to the City Council.

A series of meetings took place in early 2024. Staff used the draft classifications developed during the standing committee meetings as the foundation for its Facility and Field Allocation Policy. The draft and user group classifications were discussed again by the standing committee in October and presented to the commission in November.

Following those meetings, staff and several community members entered a mediation process with representatives from the Cali-

dents and within 25 miles of the coast — researchers collected the 1,000 most recently posted public, geotagged photos. They discarded images without faces, leaving 85,019 photos to process, according to the study.

The population and location limits excluded coastal cities like Solana Beach, Encinitas, and Del Mar, but included San Mar-

fornia Civil Rights Department to reach a consensus on a final user guide recommendation.

Mediation sessions held in June focused on the user group classifications. According to staff, although progress was made, the city and community members could not agree on how to prioritize youth groups with fewer than 70% residents or schools not covered by a joint-use agreement.

On Nov. 5, staff presented its recommended user group classifications — developed at the conclusion of the mediation process — to the City Council. Meanwhile, community members submitted an alternative proposal for consideration.

After discussion, the City Council ultimately approved the staff-recommended classifications with some changes, in a 4-1 vote.

Councilmember Rick Robinson cast the lone “no” vote, saying the classifications were not ready for final approval.

Several community members involved in developing the new classifications, including Parks and Recreation Standing Committee members and commissioners, also filed an official complaint against Mayor Esther Sanchez.

The complaint alleged

Holtgraves said the strong showing from North County San Diego reflects what locals already know.

“We’re looking for places that are not just gorgeous,” he said. “Not just perfect coastal escapes that look great in pictures, but where

During the meeting, Hammerschmidt alleged that the Parks and Recreation staff report on the item was “almost maliciously biased” and appeared to diminish contributions from the nine community members who represented all of Oceanside’s demographics.

The council also directed staff to pursue cultural sensitivity training to understand better the city’s historic cultural groups and how they have been affected by past discriminatory practices. The council agreed to conduct annual reviews of the user group classification guidelines to ensure they continue to work effectively for all residents.

The user group classifications are as follows:

Priority Group 1:

City Programs

• Includes city programs, clubs, workshops, public meetings and events offered by city staff or the Parks and Recreation Department, where the city hosts registration. This includes department activities or programs offered through independent contractors under a written agreement.

Carlsbad Mayor Keith Blackburn said that message fits with what the city offers.

“Carlsbad’s beaches and the seawall are where people come to connect, whether they’re walking at sunrise and sunset, surfing, or simply enjoying the ocean views,” Blackburn said in a

Priority Group 5:

Have at least 51% Oceanside residents.

Offer competitive programs and may limit participation to elite athletes.

Compete in league, district or CIF-sanctioned events.

Originally, the proposal required a 70% resident threshold, but the council lowered it to 51%.

Schools with fewer than 51% Oceanside residents will be placed in lower-priority groups at the discretion of staff.

Several Coastal Academy representatives asked to be moved to Group 4 instead of Group 5, but the council declined. Approximately 63% of Coastal Academy students are residents of Oceanside. The school relies heavily on city facilities

Programs for participants with disabilities (minimum 51%) and at least 70% Oceanside residents, registered nonprofit status, and free or low-cost participation.

Priority Group 9 Seniors/Therapeutic Groups Without Nonprofit Status: Similar to Group 8 but with at least 51% Oceanside residents and no nonprofit requirement.

Priority Group 10 Oceanside Nonprofit Groups: Programs for all ages hosted by nonprofits with at least 70% Oceanside residents or a physical city location, in good standing or applying for status. Membership is open to all Oceanside residents. Includes fundraising events.

Priority Group 11 Private Oceanside Resident Groups: Programs or events for all ages hosted by groups or individuals with at least 70% Oceanside residents. Includes parties, weddings and one-off events on a first-come, first-served basis.

Priority Group 12 Private Nonresident Groups: Similar to Group 11 but for groups or individuals with fewer than 70% Oceanside residents or nonresidents.

Priority Group 13 Commercial and For-Profit Groups: Commercial programs or events hosted by for-profit residents or nonresidents, including any unclassified group.

“AI was pretty easily able to detect which emotions it was seeing, and since it scored high overall, they were mostly happy ones,” he said.

Other top 10 cities for happiness included Charleston, South Carolina; Savannah, Georgia; and Huntington Beach.

In addition to overall happiness, the analysis found that Carlsbad was an expressive city. Holtgraves said DeepFace had little difficulty identifying emotions on people’s faces in Carlsbad, which ranked 11th in terms of expressiveness. Oceanside ranked fourth.

Girls high school basketball preview

By Noah Perkins

Prep basketball is back this month. While the turkey brines for Thanksgiving, The Coast News hit North County to see whose sneakers are laced and whose three-pointer still needs work ahead of the 2025-26 season.

SPOTLIGHT

RANCHO BUENA VISTA (Coastal League)

• Last season: 23-10 overall, 9-1 (Coastal League champions)

• Coach: Landon Cardenas

After a dominant 202425 season, the Longhorns enter an uncertain 2025-26 campaign. They captured the Coastal League title with a 9-1 mark and advanced to the Division I Section championship game, falling 52-41 to Victory Christian.

The challenge for head coach Landon Cardenas will be rebuilding after graduating six players, including the team’s top three scorers.

“Three years ago, we were in the exact same situation,” Cardenas told The Coast News. “We inherited a team with very little experience and had to start from scratch. We brought them in as sophomores and taught them the same way we teach this group now — two freshmen, four sophomores, and two juniors forming our core.

“We make it clear: we’re not building just to play; we’re building to win. Year-round, they’re in the gym before school, shooting hundreds of shots, practicing, and hitting the weight room. These are all homegrown kids — we don’t bring in transfers — and we develop them to compete at the highest level.”

Junior guard Minel Bur is expected to take on a larger role this season.

“Minel was the only sophomore last year getting significant minutes, and she’s been incredibly steady,” Cardenas said. “With all the seniors graduated, she’s stepped into a leadership role, been vocal, pushed us to win, and is setting the standard for the younger players coming in.”

With multiple six-footers in the lineup, RBV makes up for inexperience with size.

“We’ve never had a traditional post player,” Cardenas said. “Our tallest kid on every team has been our point guard.”

SANTA FE CHRISTIAN

(Coastal Pacific League)

• Last season: 13-16 overall, 6-2

• Coach: Vickie Carrington

Heading into her fourth year as head coach at Santa Fe, Vickie Carrington has engineered a sweeping turnaround. From a winless 2019 campaign under her predecessor to a second-place

league finish last season.

“I’m really excited for this season,” Carrington told The Coast News. “The last three seasons have been all about restructuring and rebuilding the program. Most of our girls came in with little to no basketball experience, so we’ve spent a lot of time just developing.

“Now, going into year four, some of them have grown up in the system, and we look completely different than we did even a year or two ago. It’s a pleasure to come into this season with more experience and a little more talent across the board.”

Carrington singled out Jennifer Stanion (Sr., W, 5’11”), Ari Sit (Jr., G, 5’6″), Jaedyn Davis (So., PF, 5’11”), and Ava Robbins (So., G, 5’5″) as top returners.

“Jenny Stanion is our key senior player — very talented, can score on all three levels, and plays both ends of the floor,” Carrington said. “She’s excellent on the boards and really the engine that makes the team go. She’s pretty special, and with this being her senior year, it’s great that she has a returning group of experienced players around her.”

CATHEDRAL CATHOLIC (Western League)

• Last season: 20-10 overall, 6-2

• Coach: Jackie Turpin

In 2024-25, a midseason injury to star senior Maddie Moeller forced then-sophomore McKinley Hanlon, a 6-foot power forward, to take over the offensive load.

She responded by averaging nearly 20 points per game, establishing herself as a cornerstone for the Dons moving forward.

“It starts with maturity and

faced challenges in finding starters, but the girls did an excellent job laying that groundwork. Coming into this year, we’re returning most of our starters and adding a strong group of freshmen.

“The team has built on last season through summer and fall work, and we feel very optimistic. We focus on the process — playing our best basketball in the moment — and trust that if we do that, we’ll be competitive.”

As a sophomore, guard Keani Brown averaged a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds per game.

She will be complemented in the backcourt by senior guard Izzy Alexander.

“There’s a lot of external noise, but the key is shutting it out and focusing on what we do,” Warfield said. “We’ll be ready for league play, stick to our process, and I believe that if we play our best basketball, we’ll be competitive every night.”

Ex-Padre hired as manager

Staff and wire reports

REGION — Former Padres pitcher Craig Stammen was introduced Monday as the team’s new manager after signing a three-year contract last week.

Stammen, 41, pitched in Major League Baseball for 13 seasons, including the final six with San Diego. The 2026 season will be his third with the Padres in a coaching staff/front office role, following a stint as special assistant, Major League staff and baseball operations following his Aug. 4, 2023 retirement.

This is his first managerial job.

leadership,” Turpin said. “Her intentionality — taking care of her body, working in the weight room, preparing off the court — has set a tone of respect with her teammates.

“That maturity is translating on the court, knowing when to attack, when to create for others, and when to take her shot. Stepping up after Maddie’s injury was a big transition, but she’s handled it beautifully.”

This season, Hanlon will receive support from a deep and developing roster. Senior transfer Bianca Sloan, a 6-foot-2 center, adds size, while freshman guard Addison Yang is expected to make an immediate impact.

“With the addition of Bianca, we can play more man-to-man,” Turpin said. “The past couple of years, we were almost entirely in zone because of our size. Now, with some high-IQ players, we can switch it up. It also spreads the scoring burden — I’ll have five kids on the floor who have the green light.”

LA COSTA CANYON (Coastal League)

• Last season: 14-16 overall, 2-7

• Coach: Malcolm Warfield

Last season, in his first year as head coach, Malcolm Warfield faced the unenviable task of reconstructing a team that had graduated eight players and needed an entirely new starting lineup.

This season, with a foundation now in place, he expects growth from the Mavericks.

“It was important that we build a solid foundation of who we are and what we want to do,” Warfield said. “Last season, we

• Key player: Anaya McGlory

“The greatest challenge of this position,” Stammen said, “and the most fun part about baseball, is putting in the work and the effort to be that last team standing. And that’s what gets me excited, gives me some goosebumps to see.”

During his career on the mound with the Washington Nationals and Padres, the veteran righthander held a 3.66 ERA and a 55-44 record in 562 MLB appearances with 43 starts. His 333 career appearances with San Diego are fifth-most for a pitcher in franchise history, trailing Trevor Hoffman (902), Craig Lefferts (375), Luke Gregerson (363) and Heath Bell (354).

“Craig has been a strong presence in our organization for nearly a decade,” President of Baseball Operations & General Manager A.J. Preller said last week. “He possesses deep organizational knowledge and brings natural leadership qualities to the manager’s chair.”

From North Star, Ohio, Stammen was signed by the Nationals as a 12th- round selection in the 2005 FirstYear Player Draft out of the University of Dayton.

The veteran righthander, used mostly in a relief role, was the Padres’ 2022 nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award. In 2017, he received the Padres Chairman’s Award for his philanthropic efforts and work in the community.

Spencer wins record-tying third Super Girl cape

Local claims

Surf Pro event in Jacksonville

By Cameron Adams

ENCINITAS — After losing in the finals of the Super Girl Surf Pro in Oceanside just over a month ago, Alyssa Spencer got her revenge as part of an historic showing at the Super Girl Surf Pro in Jacksonville, Florida, on Sunday.

Spencer, an Encinitas native, won her third Super Girl Surf Pro — a total of two in Jacksonville and one in Oceanside. That achievement ties her with Coco Ho, from Hawaii, for most Super Girl capes. Spencer thanked Ho “for all the inspiration she gave me” after the competition.

“It’s really special to have my name right there next to hers as the only girls

to have won three,” Spencer, 22, said. “I came close in Oceanside, and I really wanted to get it here, so I’m

San Diego FC to host semifinal

SAN

DIEGO

— San Diego FC stormed into the MLS Western Conference semifinals after a commanding 4-0 postseason win over the Portland Timbers on Sunday night before 32,502 fans at Snapdragon Stadium. The victory clinched the first-round best-of-3 series 2-1.

Anders Dreyer and Amahl Pellegrino each scored a brace as top-seeded San Diego became the first expansion team in league history to win a Round One playoff series. The club will host No 4 seed Minnesota United FC in a single-elimination semifinal on Nov. 24.

Dreyer wasted no time putting San Diego ahead, burying a left-footed one-timer in the fifth minute off a pinpoint volley cross from Onni Valakari. Twelve minutes later, Pellegrino followed his own

rebound into the net after another setup by Valakari to double the lead, 2-0.

Pellegrino added his second goal early in the second half, hammering home a left-footed shot in the 53rd minute from a lofted ball by Corey Baird. Dreyer capped the scoring in the 79th minute, finishing a low cross from Hirving “Chucky” Lozano.

Goalkeeper Pablo Sisniega earned San Diego’s first postseason shutout, facing just two shots on goal as SDFC out-possessed Portland 58% to 42%.

The win marked San Diego’s 21st across all competitions. Pellegrino has six goals in his last five matches, and Dreyer has four in the postseason alone.

San Diego is trying to become only the second expansion team — after the 1998 Chicago Fire — to reach the MLS Conference Finals in its first season.

grateful it happened.”

In September, Spencer lost in the finals of the Super Girl Surf Pro in

Oceanside to Leilani McGonagle, a Costa Rica native. Spencer was decisive in the rematch on Sunday,

registering three waves that topped McGonagle’s best. That performance also clocked in as the highest-scoring heat of the day.

Spencer faced Eden Walla of San Clemente in the final.

Walla’s run to the final included besting Ella McCaffray, also an Encinitas native, in the round of 16. McCaffray had defeated Walla in the quarter-finals en route to winning the Virginia Beach Pro in August.

Spencer outlasted Walla on Sunday after a back-and-forth final in challenging conditions. After Spencer got out to an early lead, Walla responded with a strong backhand — and the highest scoring wave of the final — to take the lead.

That lead lasted into the 19-minute mark, when Spencer responded with a backhand ride of her own to retake the lead she

would not relinquish.

After the competition, Walla said it was “super cool” to have reached backto-back finals, even though she ended up losing both to Spencer.

“She’s an amazing surfer,” Walla said of Spencer. “I’m just happy to be here again in the finals. I feel like I’ve been really consistent the last few contests, and that’s a big step for me.”

Spencer is currently ranked 11th in the World Surf League’s Challenger Series. The top 17 at the end of the year qualify for the Challenger Series the following year.

With Sunday’s Super Girl win, Spencer also moved into first place in the North American region of the WSL Qualifying Series rankings. Walla ranks second, McGonagle fifth and McCaffray sixth in those standings as of Nov. 9.

TPHS flag football wins CIF title

Falcons crowned after falling short past two years

By Noah Perkins ESCONDIDO —

For Torrey Pines flag football, the third time was the charm. After falling short in the previous two CIF San Diego Section Division I championship games, the Falcons finally broke through Saturday evening, defeating Westview 20–13 on neutral turf at Escondido High School to capture the title.

“To me, it means everything,” Torrey Pines head coach Ryland Wickman said. “This was my third in a row. I don’t know what I’d feel if we lost again, so it felt really nice to get that monkey off our back and feel like we achieved a little something.”

Torrey Pines jumped out to a 14–0 lead, but Westview answered, closing the gap to 14–13 by halftime.

The Falcons’ defense, as it had in every playoff game, stepped up again, pitching its third straight second-half shutout and forcing turnovers on Westview’s final three possessions. Senior captain and safety Kate Flynn came up with two interceptions.

“Our practice before the game was horrible — offensively, it was horrible,” Wickman said. “But on defense, we had a really good practice, so I felt okay going in. Offensively, I know they’re going to pick it up more in the game — it’s more of a game thing than practice. I was really excited about how they responded and how they finished. The defense sealed the deal.”

On offense, junior running back Alexa Avila scored twice, including an 80-yard

touchdown on a direct snap.

“Lexi, our all-league, all-offense running back, she went off again,” Wickman said. “She scored two touchdowns, including a huge 80-yard run. She’s just been a star, carrying us through.”

Senior wide receiver Catherine Toneli scored the Falcons’ third touchdown.

“The big thing with this one — and what honestly hurt me in the last two finals — was turnovers,” Wickman said. “This time, we were able to avoid those major mistakes.”

Reaching the finals required a minor miracle in the semifinals, when the Falcons needed a last-second Hail Mary from freshman quarterback Izzie Dieter to sophomore Becca Clayton to beat Mission Hills 27–21.

“The play before that almost ended in a pick — she threw it short in the end zone,” Wickman said. “But on the final play, we told our quarterback, ‘Just get the

ball up, don’t worry about a sack — see what happens.’

She did a great job buying extra time, rolled to her left, and then threw it 40 yards to her right.

“When I saw it go, I thought, ‘Oh my God, I think we got it.’ Our girl jumped up, snatched it over two defenders, and landed just inside the sideline. It was amazing — and it gave us some serious momentum going forward.”

Dieter, a 14-year-old freshman with a big arm but raw talent, has what Wickman calls a true “gunslinger” mentality, often looking to make big plays.

“She wants to make a spectacular play every single down,” Wickman said. “Our biggest thing right now is teaching her that it’s okay to throw a check-down, and that it’s okay just to be part of the offense.”

Wickman said playing Westview just three days after facing Mission Hills was fortuitous, given the similar-

ity in playing style and roster makeup.

“Similar to Mission Hills, Westview has tall athletes and a mobile quarterback,” Wickman said. “That worked in our favor, because I didn’t have to game-plan as much as I would for a team with a completely different offense. Still, I reminded the girls — for many, it was their second final in a row — that we had to be ready and bring our best, because on any given day, if we don’t, we could lose.”

With 30 players on the roster, this was the largest flag football team Torrey Pines has ever fielded, and nearly half the squad were seniors.

“There were a lot of seniors on the team, so it was nice to be able to finish it with them,” Wickman said. “For them to make some history and earn the first girls flag football championship for Torrey Pines — it’s always special to be the first to do anything.”

Just Peachy future uncertain amid court case

By Cameron Adams ENCINITAS

— Just Peachy Market faces an uncertain future tied largely to a pending immigration case.

Owner Norberto Ambrosio Sr. is scheduled to appear before the San Diego Immigration Court on Nov. 25, his family confirmed publicly.

Ambrosio was born in Oaxaca, Mexico, and settled in North County San Diego as a teenager, according to his son, Norberto “Junior” Ambrosio Jr.

He raised his children in Encinitas and Carlsbad, where Junior attended Carlsbad High School.

Ambrosio worked at Just Peachy Market for over five years before purchasing the business from its previous owner in 2022. The market opened in 2004, according to the Better Business Bureau.

Junior said if the court decision at the end of the month doesn’t go their way, he would have to take on a larger role in the family business to keep the popular market open.

Sofia Ambrosio, a manager at the market and Junior’s sister, said the family has been consulting attorneys about their father’s legal standing. She said the case was recently reopened, catching everyone by surprise.

“This came out of nowhere,” Sofia said, who did not elaborate on his immigration status.

Through August, immigration judges issued removal or voluntary departure orders in nearly 55% of the 470,213 completed cases this year, according to data collected by TRAC Reports. That rate rose to more than 77% in August, the data shows.

“We’re hoping that’s not the case — that he goes in and doesn’t come out,” Sofia said. “Unfortunately, that’s the case for many families.”

was completed in April.

In August, Blakespear hosted an event supporting preservation of most of the roadway changes.

During the event, Blakespear said tearing up Santa Fe Drive would be “totally misguided” and a “tremendous waste of general fund money.”

“The city should focus on real problems and prioritize the other things that are happening in the city that are very important,” she said.

Current Mayor Bruce Ehlers said redoing the project could ultimately save money if the new design prevents “multi-million dollar lawsuits potentially.”

She added that the family plans to take Saturday, Nov. 15, off for a family gathering, though she worried it could be “potentially our last family day together.”

Sofia and Junior both expressed interest in organizing a show of support for their father outside the courthouse on the day of his hearing.

“People want to be there, but obviously not everyone can be in the courthouse,” Junior said. They said plans for the gathering remain uncertain and will be shared through the market’s Instagram page, @justpeachymarket, as details develop. Sofia said they’re also using direct messages to communicate with regular customers and encouraged anyone wishing to support the family to reach out that way.

Junior said they’re also working with Un Mar de Colores, an Encinitas-based nonprofit that promotes coastal access for underserved youth through surfing, environmental education and other activities.

Lawmakers, DA, tout law expanding criminal threats

Local lawmakers and prosecutors today touted a newly signed state law that officials say closes a loophole that prevented prosecution against those who threatened mass violence against entities and buildings, rather than individual people.

Senate Bill 19, also known as The Safe Schools and Places of Worship Act, was signed into law last month by Gov. Gavin Newsom. It was authored by Assemblywoman Darshana Patel, D-San Diego, and state Sen. Susan Rubio, DBaldwin Park.

The new law criminalizes threats made against institutions such as schools, workplaces, medical facilities or houses of worship, even when the threat does not specifically target a person.

Recently in San Diego, the distinction over the target of a threat was notably seen in the prosecution of a man who stated in a series of over 400 emails that he would commit a mass shooting at Shoal Creek Elementary School in Carmel Mountain Ranch.

Since the man’s threats referenced only the school, rather than an individual victim, the criminal-threats charge filed against him was originally dismissed by a judge. San Diego County prosecutors re-filed the charge, and the man was later convicted by a jury and awaits sentencing later this month.

However, the issue of whether he could legally threaten a school was a key point in the man’s defense at trial. Prosecutors re-filed the charge to name Shoal Creek’s principal as the victim, and the defense case focused on the fact that the man’s emails did not name or directly threaten the principal.

SB 19’s proponents say several other instances of

“This really comes down to if the current council believes something is not properly designed or executed, how long do we have to wait after something’s built to fix it?” Ehlers asked rhetorically. “I can answer that question: we don’t have to wait at all. Prior councils cannot bind our actions at all.”

people threatening mass shootings in California have led to difficulty securing prosecutions against the perpetrators.

“Making criminal threats is a felony crime even if there was no intent to carry out the threat; threatening words with the intent to cause fear and which reasonably cause someone to feel fear are sufficient for a felony charge,’’ San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan said.

Newsom said in a statement, “We are proud to give prosecutors the tools necessary so they can stop violence before it starts. California families deserve to feel safe when they drop their kids off at school, go to a doctor’s appointment, or practice their religion.’’

Flights cut, delayed across SoCal, US

Uncertainty continues today at airports in the Southland, and nationwide, as flight delays and cancellations imposed by the U.S. Department of Transportation continue as some air-traffic controllers skip work since they aren’t being paid during the ongoing federal government shutdown.

Controllers are considered essential workers and have been instructed to continue working despite the shutdown. But after going without paychecks for nearly a month, some have taken second jobs or are calling in sick, compounding existing staffing shortages, National Air Traffic Controllers Association officials told reporters.

Federal transportation officials said this has led to “staffing triggers’’ at air traffic facilities nationally, leading to “strain on the system.’’

To combat the short-

said. “Kids are over cars in my book.”

The hours-long public comment period drew a nearly even split between residents who wanted to retain the current design and those supporting the changes.

Rimga Viskanta, a trustee for San Dieguito Union High School District, said the yearlong construction caused “significant traffic disruptions” and that not enough time had passed to assess its safety impact.

“Our primary request is simple: please maintain Santa Fe and its current design for now,” Viskanta said.

ages and avoid safety issues, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Wednesday that capacity would be reduced at 40 high-volume airports through at least Friday. According to a DOT statement issued Thursday night, flight capacity at the affected airports would be cut by 4% through Monday, 6% on Tuesday, 8% Thursday and 10% by next Friday. As of 7 a.m. Sunday, 21 flights had been delayed at San Diego International Airport and another 50 had been canceled, according to FlightAware. The website said 12,063 flights were delayed nationwide and 1,695 were canceled.

In addition to capacity reductions, the Federal Aviation Administration is also limiting commercial space launches and re-entries to the hours of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. local time. Parachute operations and photo missions near affected airports were also being prohibited.

Airports in San Diego, Los Angeles and Ontario are among those impacted by the capacity cuts, but airfields not among the 40 on the list could still see ripple-effect impacts on flight operations.

San Diego International Airport is the third busiest airfield in California and 25th in the nation.

“My department has many responsibilities, but our number one job is safety,’’ Duffy said Thursday night. “This isn’t about politics -- it’s about assessing the data and alleviating building risk in the system as controllers continue to work without pay. It’s safe to fly today, and it will continue to be safe to fly next week because of the proactive actions we are taking.’’ Airlines have been issuing alerts to passengers to be aware of possible flight impacts.

tially creating a cascading effect.

“Drivers tend to make poor safety decisions when there’s congestion,” Linke said.

Councilmember Marco San Antonio said he had heard of three recent accidents and that the council could not delay action any longer “because that’s more time for accidents to happen.”

Councilmember Luke Shaffer said the current back-in parking design relies too heavily on driver timing and competence. He added that one oversized van could significantly impair visibility along the road under the existing layout.

At that time, Lyndes said, “the safety and continuity of pedestrian and bicycle circulation near the school was my top priority.”

Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes cast the lone dissenting vote in the 4-1 decision. She is the only member of the current council who also served in September 2022, when the Western Phase Improvements project was unanimously approved.

At last week’s meeting, Lyndes said she opposed widening the vehicle lanes because it would increase speeds and create less safe conditions near a busy high school.

Steve Linke, a former member of Carlsbad’s Traffic Safety and Mobility Commission, identified 14 conflict points — intersections and driveways — on the north side of that stretch of road and 19 on the south side.

“I want to keep this just the way it is because that’s the safest for the kids,” she

Linke said that the density was too high for separated bikeways and that the overall design was too cramped for drivers, poten-

Councilmember Jim O’Hara said cost concerns were exaggerated and that when it comes to child safety, “anyone in this city” would spend the money “to get rid of that injury in a heartbeat.”

“Let’s get away from politics and get away from pushing the fear button,” O’Hara said.

food and supplies become significantly more valuable commodities.

“You wouldn’t believe what a difference it makes for these people,” said Kevin Dougan, director of development for the Race Track Chaplaincy of California, who spent decades working at Del Mar. “A bag of groceries now is expensive… and they’re walking out with two bags.”

As part of his rounds, Hernandez also visits the jockeys’ room and the starting gate crew, offering short devotionals for those in high-risk positions.

For Hernandez, his daily work as a Christian-based chaplain centers on support rather than sermons.

“The main thing I need to do is listen to them, and I try to listen with my heart,” he said. “One person at a time.”

That care extends into moments of deep personal grief. Earlier this year,

• Limits the Frequency of Expensive Battery Replacement

a backstretch employee’s 16-year-old daughter was killed in a hit-and-run.

Hernandez said the woman came to his office in the days that followed, where they sat together, talked, prayed and cried.

“I would visit her at the barn every day and remind her to come to my office because it was more private,” he said. “We would talk. We would pray. We would cry. We would pray again.”

His goal, he said, was simple: to make sure she knew she wasn’t facing the loss alone.

“We want to be the first responders,” he said. “Whatever we can do, we’re going to be here for you.”

Exercise rider Max Corrales, who has worked at Del Mar since 2004, said Hernandez provides a vital service for the unseen workforce behind the horses.

“We’ve known each other a long time, and he’s a great guy who brings people together,” Corrales said. “If anybody has a problem, they go to him and he fixes it. And if he can’t fix it, he’s trying to fix it.”

and injuries or missed days can mean the difference between stability and crisis.

“They’re so beaten down in life that they don’t trust anyone and they’re very secretive,” Dougan said. “If we can make their life a little easier and less expensive, we do it.”

As racing fans crowded toward the paddock last Friday, Hernandez continued his rounds in the shedrows, greeting workers as part of his morning ritual.

Asked what keeps him on the backstretch instead of in the winner’s circle, Hernandez pointed to the people around him.

To donate, please send checks to: Race Track Chaplaincy of California, P.O. Box 2008, Downey, CA 90242, or make a donation online at rtccal.org. To volunteer, call Chaplain Eli Hernandez at (562) 4794924. • No Conventional Charging

Many workers, like Corrales, stay out of view, performing the pre-dawn labor that keeps the racetrack running but rarely earns them public attention. They live and work behind the grandstands,

often in small dorm-style rooms or shared trailers, quietly facing financial stress, language barriers and separation from their families.

Miguel Meza, 76, has spent four decades tending thoroughbreds on the Del Mar backstretch. He lives on the grounds in a small

concrete-block apartment furnished with only the essentials — a sleeping bag on a thin pad, a metal folding chair and a portable cook stove beside a small bag of tortillas and canned food.

For many, the work is steady but the pay is low — some have received the same wage for decades —

“People ask me all the time, ‘Do you love the horses?’” he said. “I say, I like them a lot, but it’s the people I love.”

Seasons: A culinary destination

Frank and I have long admired the elegance of the Four Seasons Aviara, a landmark of Carlsbad sophistication framed by rolling hills and ocean breezes. Nestled within its villas, Seasons Restaurant lives up to its luxurious surroundings, offering a serene retreat where guests and locals alike can savor thoughtfully crafted dishes, warm service, and a setting that feels worlds away yet comfortingly close to home.

Following a $22 million transformation, the Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara has re-emerged as a refined Carlsbad retreat celebrating Southern California’s coastal beauty. Jessica Roach, director of marketing, warmly greeted us and guided us through Seasons Restaurant, the lively hub of the resort.

The restaurant seats 120 guests and can host 150 for standing events. The adjacent veranda opens to the pool area and can be reserved for 40 seated or 60 standing, while a private dining room holds 24 seated or 30 standing, perfect for anniversaries, birthdays, or corporate gatherings with full audiovisual capability.

Seasons also features a barista station for coffee and pastries and a chef’s table in the stadium-style kitchen for cooking classes. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily, with brunch on weekends and a popular Golden Hour Happy Hour that draws guests and locals.

Chef de Cuisine Jason Winton brings more than 25 years of experience shaped by kitchens across Canada, the Caribbean and Southern California.

At Seasons, Winton curates a farm-to-fork menu reflecting his Pacific Northwest roots and Mediterranean influences. His cuisine celebrates sustainability, seasonality and the ocean’s bounty, with an emphasis on thoughtful technique and in-house preparation. We were eager to experience his culinary vision firsthand.

Seasons’ beverage program impressed with inventive craft cocktails, several zero-proof options, local drafts, and a balanced wine list featuring California and global selections available by the glass and bottle.

Frank began his evening with the 2022 Hill Family Estate “Carly’s Cuvée” Chardonnay from Napa Valley paired with Carrot Orange Soup accented by pickled ginger, harissa oil and ricotta salata.

hummus, a creative twist on tartar sauce, paired beautifully with the delicate fish.

For these entrées, Frank and I enjoyed the 2020 Flanagan “Beauty of Three” Cabernet Sauvignon from the North Coast. Its dark-fruit aromas and structured blackberry finish complemented each dish.

Pastry Chef Jane Crozier concluded our meal in grand fashion. Her career spans Sedona, Santa Barbara and Hualalai Four Seasons in Hawaii before transferring to Four Seasons Aviara. We began dessert with the Mediterranean Cheese Board featuring olives, dried fruits, labneh and house flatbread with wedges of Manchego, Mahón, and Gorgonzola, paired with Otima Tawny Port and Halter Ranch “El Pecado” Ruby Port.

To finish, Crozier presented a gluten-free Dark Chocolate Torte with mango amba jam, pistachio crème and pomegranate seeds — a flawless finale.

Head server Eddie Mares, a 10-year veteran, ensured our evening flowed seamlessly. Two locals, Judy Adamsen and Marjorie Peachey, smiled when they learned we were media and getting extra attention. They insisted we try the Wagyu Beef Burger on our next visit, calling it “next level, out of this world.” After this visit, I believe them.

I started with the 2019 Saxon Brown “Fighting Brothers” Pinot Noir from Carneros alongside Hokkaido Scallops with Persian cucumber, pomegranate, medjool date, pumpkin seed oil and amba sauce. Winton cooked them perfectly, seared outside, tender within.

Next came the Confit Duck Leg (and thigh) with braised shallot, apple mostarda, sweet peppers and herb pistou atop housemade flatbread. The duck was fall-apart tender after 12 hours braising at 200 degrees in duck fat. The aromatic pistou, a blend of

anise, clove, brown sugar, thyme, rosemary, orange and lemon, gave it the comforting feel of a fall holiday dish.

The Roasted Chicken Breast followed, with orzo pasta, oyster mushrooms, Tuscan kale, porcini broth and zhoug paste. Its consommé-style broth made from parmesan rinds and mirepoix added deep, layered flavor.

Though usually a lunch entrée, Winton insisted we try the Sesame Crusted Snapper with sprouting cauliflower, bread-and-butter pickles, eggplant hummus and amba sauce. The

Following its renovation, Four Seasons Aviara has elevated every facet of the guest experience while preserving its coastal soul. Seasons Restaurant, with its inviting spaces, gracious service, and Winton’s inspired cuisine, reflects that balance — sophisticated yet approachable.

Whether for lunch, dinner, brunch, or a glass of wine at Golden Hour, Seasons welcomes all to experience Carlsbad dining at its best.

Student-run wellness center opens at Mission Hills

Pilot program expands school’s peer support

By Leo Place

SAN MARCOS — A

$1.5 million state grant is equipping Mission Hills High School students to more directly support one another’s mental health through a new peer-to-peer counseling program and on-campus wellness center that opened this school year.

Mission Hills is one of eight schools statewide to be chosen for the Peer-to-Peer High School Pilot Demonstration Grant, which supports youth-driven, school-based mental health initiatives. The three-year grant is offered by The Children’s Partnership and the California Department of Health Care Services.

A small group of passionate Mission Hills students led the grant application effort and collaborated with school and district staff to bring their vision to life, including designing the interior of the center.

After launching the program on campus this fall, the San Marcos Unified School District officially celebrated the grand opening of the wellness center on Nov. 5. There, peer counselors shared about their experiences and the work that went into getting the grant.

Senior Jalani Ras, one of the students who cowrote the grant application alongside senior Noah Mazza, said she saw the need for more mental health resources on campus after the loss of her brother in her sophomore year. Learning last year that Mission Hills

was one of the grantees for the pilot program was “surreal,” she said. “I was so happy. It’s something I will forever be so proud of,” Ras said.

The grant funded the remodel of the wellness center space, located near the administration building in a separate area from the rest of the school, as well as the hiring of another full-time counselor and clerical staff to support the space.

Students visiting the wellness center find a space with comfortable seating and blankets, as well as calming activities such as bracelet making, art and coloring, among other offerings.

center and Mission Hills into a more supportive place for students as a peer counselor. “I had trouble in middle school. A lot of kids made fun of me, to the point that I had to leave school. I went online in eighth grade. That was the moment that opened my eyes, that something needs to change,” Mazza said. “I feel like coming into this, I wanted to emphasize that everyone has moments like this, where they can come into the wellness center and use it.”

The Peer-to-Peer High School Pilot Demonstration grant builds on other recent district efforts to connect students with a broader range of mental health resources. Throughout the country, K-12 schools saw stark declines in student mental health in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to a youth risk behavior survey from the Centers for Disease Control, 40% of surveyed high school students reported experiencing “persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness” in 2023, and 20% seriously considered attempting suicide.

Elizabeth “Liz” May Hacker (née Jones, formerly Flynn), beloved friend, mother and grandmother, passed away October 27th in Carlsbad, CA at 87.

A native of Leigh, Lancashire, England, Liz traveled by ship at the age of 17 to embark on a new life in the US.

In New York, she found work at Macy’s in midtown Manhattan and soon after met and married her first husband, John Joseph Flynn III.

They moved to New Rochelle, NY, where her two sons, Ian and Steven were born.

With her second husband, Liz moved to Carlsbad in 1984 where she immediately took to the slow pace, ocean air, and sunshine.

A lifelong Catholic, Liz attended St. John the Evangelist Church in Encinitas.

She enjoyed traveling to visit her family in England and cherished celebrating birthdays and holidays with her grandson, Andrew, in Northern California.

Liz is survived by and lives on in the loving memories of her sons, Ian Flynn of San Anselmo, CA, and Steven Flynn of Rancho Santa Fe, CA; and her grandson, Andrew Flynn of Encinitas, CA.

She is preceded in death by her brothers Robert Jones of Southport, Lancashire, England, and Alfred Jones of Spondon, Derby, England.

At any given point during the day, including before and after school, students can visit the wellness center and connect with one of the current 15 peer counselors. For many students, it can be less intimidating to talk to someone their own age, who can relate to the pressures and challenges they are facing, than to an adult.

“I’ve always been a little bit intimidated to talk to adults,” said junior and peer counselor Sady Ortiz. “I’ve seen a lot more students talk about their emotions. Many of them simply want people to listen. I listen, and they just open up.”

If someone comes forward with an issue beyond the skill level of the student counselors, they can also connect them with an adult school counselor and other services.

Mazza said he experienced poor mental health due to bullying in middle school, and found there wasn’t a space to talk about it. Now, he is putting his all into making the wellness

These rates were higher among women compared to men and among LGBTQ+ students compared to those who are not LGBTQ+.

In 2023, San Marcos Unified received a $1.25 million grant from the city of San Marcos to implement a tiered system of mental health initiatives tailored to various levels of need, including an on-campus campaign aimed at reducing stigma surrounding mental health.

District leaders noted how helpful it would have been to have peer-to-peer resources and a wellness center back when they were students.

“It’s my vision that we have one of these on all 19 of our campuses,” said SMUSD Superintendent Andy Johnsen.

High school students interested in the areas of counseling and wellness can also earn college credits through Cal State San Marcos in these areas, accelerating their graduation. The university offers dual-enrollment courses, such as Introduction to Personal Health and Wellness and Introduction to Health and Wellness Careers.

Far from family? Celebrate Friendsgiving this year

jano’s garden

‘Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother’s house we go.” This popular phrase is no longer the case for many of us who have moved across the country, or whose parents or grandparents are no longer with us.

So, for many in Southern California, we might be hosting a “Friendsgiving.”

My son and I have a number of people attending our Thanksgiving dinner, none of whom are related to us!

CHEF HOSTS WEEKLY

FRIEND DINNERS

One of my favorite recent cooking shows is hosted by an experienced chef and cookbook author Samin Nosrat. She has been in the food business for over 20 years, and her cookbook, "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking," reached the New York Times bestseller list and was recently made into a Netflix series.

Her newest cookbook, "Good Things," shares 125 recipes from her weekly friend parties.

Her advice for large groups celebrating togeth-

er is to “make the dinner a team effort. People bring their favorite dishes, or if they are not cooks, they can always stop by the store and get dessert. Elevate the occasion by bringing out the cloth napkins, add some fresh flowers and a special wine.”

Samin hosts a friend dinner once a week, so she is familiar with the role of host. She recommends that whoever is making the main dish to avoid the complicated: “Make a big-batch dish that doesn’t involve last minute tending. A simple

side dish such as roasted vegetables, made the night before, can be reheated and served with a special creamy dressing. Anything that can be made before, like a Bolognese sauce, is a good choice.”

PLANNING THE MENU FOR FRIENDSGIVING

In our household, the challenge is pre-planning for a Friendsgiving so we don’t end up with all carbohydrates and no fresh vegetables. We post a sign-up sheet so we all don’t shop for the same groceries or make the same thing.

And the organizational plan is working. So far, we have (in addition to the traditional turkey), pasta Bolognese, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, stuffing, spanakopita and cranberry-orange relish, and yes, roasted fresh vegetables!

I did mention to my son, Josh, who volunteered for macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes and stuffing, that we might be overloading on carbohydrates, since his friend is making pasta Bolognese, but his response was, “You can never have too many carbs!”

STARTING NEW TRADITIONS

I heard an interview recently with a famous chef who talked about traditional recipes for Thanksgiving. When asked about serving only traditional food that we might have had as children, he suggested creating new traditions to add to the old ones.

When I attended college in Boston years ago, I worked in a Greek restaurant and sampled all of the amazing Mediterranean cuisine. My favorite was spanakopita, a Greek appetizer made with filo dough and a spinach ricotta filling. Years later, when I had catering business of my own, I found the recipe in "The Silver Palate Cookbook."

Be certain to buy filo dough early in holiday season, at a specialty food store, since it sells out quickly.

Josh and I prepare these appetizers ahead of time, so we can have them ready when guests arrive. This has become our family favorite, and when guests see how easy the process is, they sometimes join in!

SPANAKOPITA (SPINACH PIES)

Ingredients/Materials

• One box frozen filo dough, defrosted

• Two sticks unsalted butter

• 10 ounces frozen spinach

• 1 cup ricotta cheese

• ½ cup feta cheese

• Salt, pepper, dill, nutmeg – to taste

• Wax paper

• Aluminum foil

• Pastry brush for butter

• Large dish towel

Spinach Mix

1. Thaw spinach, place in a colander to drain. Press spinach to drain all liquid. Place in a clean dish towel, squeeze to remove all liquid. Set aside.

2. In large bowl combine ricotta and feta, stir to combine. Add nutmeg, salt, pepper, dill. Mix spinach with cheeses and set aside.

To Assemble

1. Melt two sticks of butter in a small saucepan.

2. Clear a space on your counter to spread out the filo.

3. Place large dish towel on counter, unroll 12 inches of wax paper on top of the towel.

4. Using one piece of filo at time, spread entire sheet with butter.

5. Continue until you have three layers.

6. Working quickly, cut six long segments with a knife, keeping segments on the towel.

7. Spoon individual tablespoons of spinach mix at the bottom of the filo segment.

8. Fold the filo into triangles, adding spinach mix to each segment.

9. Top the triangles with more melted butter. Set aside on aluminum foil.

10. Proceed with the same process until you have finished the roll of filo.

11. Bake at 375 in a preheated oven until brown, less than 10 minutes. Monitor carefully, since they burn quickly!

12. Serve immediately, or freeze on aluminum foil.

Oceanside Sanctuary celebrates 150 years

Anniversary carnival, service set for Nov. 22-23

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— A local church congregation is celebrating 150 years of ministry in the city.

On Nov. 21, 1875, a group of 13 people gathered to start a small, family church in a one-room schoolhouse near Mission San Luis Rey in what is now Oceanside.

At the time, the church was named The Christian Church at San Luis Rey, as it was one of the first congregations of The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a Protestant denomination rooted in the American Restoration Movement in the early 1800s, which sought to unify all Christians under one church.

Over the years, the church grew and evolved, moving into four buildings with different names. Despite these changes, the congregation essentially remained the same.

Today, the church is known as the Oceanside Sanctuary, and finds its home at 204 S. Freeman Street, where it's been since 1928. It is one of the region’s older Protestant churches.

As a congregational church, it is not governed by its denomination but rather by its members. This system sets it apart from other churches, some of which are governed by a hierarchy of bishops or elders and others that do not answer to any authority. Through this system, congregational church members have a voice in how the church is led and governed.

Another way the church distinguishes itself is by having women in leadership, something that is still unusual among modern-day churches.

“It’s very important to us that women are free to lead,” said Rev. Jason Coker, who co-pastors the church with his wife, Rev. Jenell Coker.

In 1932, Grace MacDonald became the church’s first woman pastor.

congregations to successfully advocate for an enforceable de-escalation policy at the Oceanside Police Department.

Today, its members continue to advocate for policy changes at the local, county and state levels to provide affordable housing, food security and other needs.

Over the years, the congregation has experienced membership ups and downs – for example, going from 300 members in 1960 to fewer than 70 active members by 1970.

“When we came in 2015, we were amazed by the work this little church was doing,” Jason Coker said. “They just needed a fresh vision for the future. That’s how the Oceanside Sanctuary was born.”

Today, the church has a 400-member congregation.

“So many people are longing for Christian spaces that take seriously the teachings of Jesus to love our neighbor, to welcome strangers, to show up for the least of these,” Jenell Coker said.

The church has come a long way from its first gathering nearly 150 years ago, but it hasn’t forgotten its history.

“Our history is incredibly important to us,” Jason Coker said. “We are only here because of generations of service, advocacy, and organizing that was done long before any of us arrived. That gives us courage to stand firm in the face of rising threats to our most vulnerable neighbors. We plan to carry that courage forward for generations to come.”

after completing this task, he started to get a “funny feeling” about the whole thing.

“I didn’t sleep at all that night,” he said.

He made a report to the FBI late that evening and then went to Oceanside Police Department to report what happened, but was turned away and sent back to Camp Pendleton police instead. He also attempted to stop the package from being delivered to New York by going back to UPS, but the package had already arrived at its destination.

Camp Pendleton police spent more than an hour

“We believe that the LGBTQ community has been really hurt by churches, and it’s important to liberate them, and for them to be 100% accepted,” Jason Coker said.

Throughout its history, the church has also been active in its community around social issues.

The church also affirms and accepts LGBTQ members.

Eberhardt and his family felt they were treated rudely by one of the officers at OPD, who appeared to laugh at his plight.

“We thought it could have been handled with more compassion for him,” his daughter said. While there, however, they heard from another officer about another recent instance in which a young Marine was scammed out of $10,000.

Amanda Eberhardt said the incident has greatly impacted her father, who blames himself for falling for the scam. The incident has also triggered his post-traumatic stress disorder caused by wartime trauma.

While losing the money has created a lot of stress for the family, Amanda continues to assure her father that it’s not his fault.

Although the loss of funds have caused stress for the family, they remain grateful that neither of them were hurt and still have each other. They also hope to prevent other similar scams from happening to local veterans and civilians in the future.

To celebrate its 150th birthday, the church has a Community Carnival planned for Nov. 22 from noon to 3 p.m. with family-friendly games, a chili cook-off contest, a food drive to benefit its Sanctuary Pantry, an Amazing Race through historic Oceanside locations, and live music.

The church invites the public to meet for its sesquicentennial worship service on Nov. 23 from 10 to 11:30 a.m., which will commemorate its decades of ministry with music, special guests and reflections on its legacy.

“This happens frequently within our community to veterans and civilians alike, not just to old people,” she said. “These people who target these folks are heartless.”

She described her father as a kind man who likes to help his community, noting his recent volunteership with the Rotary Club of Carlsbad, which provides donated items including diapers, toys, and lightly used furniture to families on base through its Warriors Warehouse program.

The family has set up a GoFundMe account to help with ongoing costs. Representatives from the County of San Diego have also reached out to the family with support.

While many in California have seen their SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits restored in the past few days, a flurry of back-andforth court rulings have still left these benefits in an uncertain position.

The Trump administration was met with legal challenges after announcing last month that it would cease funding SNAP benefits for the month of November while the shutdown continued. Last week, a federal judge ordered the U.S. Department of Agriculture — which administers SNAP on the federal level — to restore full funding for recipients, with California and other states beginning to immediately reissue benefits.

However, this reissuing abruptly stopped after Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued a 48-hour stay on the federal judge’s order on Friday night, leaving some with SNAP benefits for November and others without. As of Monday, the Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to keep this stay in place, arguing that they cannot be ordered to

The San Diego Food Bank reported that food-related calls to 2-1-1 San Diego grew by 170% last week, underscoring the severity of the current crisis. However, they said they are prepared to continue providing food to the community if the shutdown continues.

“The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank will continue hosting emergency food distributions as needed throughout the shutdown and will expand

“Behind the scenes, our team is advocating for affected populations, securing additional food supplies, and mobilizing volunteers to ensure our community is served during this critical time,” the food bank said in a statement.

Volunteer Duke Skaff, who has served with the organization for around 11 years, said food drives like the one on Monday are crucial to ensuring they can keep serving the community.

“This food drive, it’s great that people responded to it, and we hope that people keep responding to it,” Skaff said. “We’re part of a community, and we’re part of the human population, and we should be doing things for one another.”

Those interested in donating food to CRC can drop off new food items and personal care items Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The CRC has created a wish list of items available on their Instagram page.

Individuals can also make a financial donation on CRC’s website, allowing CRC to directly purchase items for their pantry.

If you or someone you know is in need of food assistance, you can contact 2-1-1 or look up a food distribution site near you via the San Diego Food Bank’s GPS Food Locator Map.

‘My marketing isn’t generating the same results it used to,” my friend Charlie said.

tools you may have previously overlooked, ignored, or simply not considered.

Which channel is best? ask mr. marketing rob weinberg

By Paul Gonzalez

The options feel endless, don’t they?

Google Ads. Instagram. TikTok. YouTube. SEO. Facebook. Email. Local directories. Blog content. LinkedIn.

Every week, a new “must-have” platform seems to pop up.

Odd Files digital 101

But you only have so much time. So the question becomes: “Where should I actually be showing up — especially now that AI is in the mix?”

Here’s the short answer: The channel matters less than your strategy on that channel. And AI can help you figure out both.

So, what works?

If you’re a local or service-based business, these are still the big three:

Google Search (Local SEO and Maps): Most local buying intent still starts here. People are searching for businesses “near me” every day. Showing up in the 3-pack isn’t optional — it’s business-critical.

Meta Platforms (Facebook and Instagram): These remain powerhouses for community awareness and targeted promotions. People may not search here first, but they definitely browse, click, and share.

SMS: This isn’t dead — not even close. For nurturing existing leads, nothing beats a well-timed text, especially if it’s personalized.

How AI helps you win — wherever you show up:

• It writes better content faster — so you stay consistent.

• It analyzes what’s working (and what’s not) without spreadsheets.

• It predicts which channels your audience is responding to — and when.

The question isn’t just, “What channels matter now?” It’s, “How can I use today’s tools to make those channels work smarter for my business?” That’s what AI helps with.

And that’s how you stay visible — even when the rules keep changing. Using the right strategy and learning how to weave all of your digital channels together so they are easily found and understood by AI will keep you at the front of the pack today and well into the future.

Gizmodo reported on Nov. 5 that doctors in the Philippines have documented the case of a woman whose armpits leak milk.

Dermatologists writing in the journal JAAD Case Reports said the patient was born with extra breast tissue on both sides of her underarms, which swelled up after she delivered a baby and produced “milky secretions from the overlying hair follicles.”

The condition didn’t bother her when she wasn’t pregnant or breastfeeding; doctors said it affects fewer than 6% of women. [Gizmodo, 11/5/2025]

Wait, What?

A woman in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, was expecting a package of medicine that she had ordered, but when the box came, she found something very different inside: two human arms and four fingers. WSMV-TV reported that the woman contacted 911 and the Christian County Coroner, Scott Daniel.

Daniel responded to the home and gathered up the unexpected parcel, and the body parts are being dispatched to the correct recipient -- but it’s unclear in this case who that was.

It can also detect flavors such as ginger, black pepper, horseradish, garlic and onion. No word on when it will be available to the public. [NY Post, 10/29/2025]

The reality is you need to be everywhere at once.

Even $691 billion multinational behemoth Amazon follows this approach. Despite being one of the planet’s best-known brands, they still have competition from Alibaba, Walmart and others.

Which explains the Amazon catalog I received; a 60-page gift guide with over 1,000 items and offering “Every Thing for Every Holiday.”

Now, Amazon already knows my name and how to find me, but this catalog was addressed to “Current Resi-

dent” at my PO box.

They’re obviously on a fishing expedition. And since they don’t know where potential customers lurk, they’ve adopted a “flood the zone” approach. Their catalog guides indecisive gift buyers with themed collections (“for kids,” “under $50,” “tech lovers,” etc.) to the company’s website to facilitate their

purchase. In other words, they’re using direct mail to reinforce the brand and expand marketing outreach. That’s very smart!

Regardless of what you sell, your business or nonprofit can follow Amazon’s lead if you have a clear vision of future sales goals. Understand your customer profile and what they want to buy. Then test some new marketing tools to help you reach those customers where they live.

Remember, sharks must swim or they’ll die. If your business doesn’t grow, it’ll perish. Just as Charlie is learning, the fact that something worked before doesn’t

If it’s working, keep it. If it’s inefficient, replace it. Make 2026 your best year yet with a holistic approach to your marketing plan. Your organization’s very survival may be at stake!

With Plynina supporting the project, Renouf launched a website, offering spots for $300 up to $2,000, depending on the placement.

He promised to wear the jacket in all the wedding photos, which would be shared on social media platforms with 116,000 followers.

Twenty-six companies bought in, for a total of $10,000 in advertising revenue. The suit cost $5,200 to make, and Renouf had to pay $2,500 on the income.

“I basically got a free suit and $2,000 out of it,” he said. Even better, he got a job: One company was impressed with his ideas and dedication, and “I’ve been absolutely killing it and enjoying it since then,” Renouf said. [People, 11/4/2025]

• During a virtual hearing in the 36th District Court in Detroit on Oct. 27, police officer Matthew Jackson showed up to testify about a woman charged with drag racing and disorderly conduct.

But, WXYZ-TV reported, he forgot one important part of his uniform: pants.

“You got some pants on, officer?” asked Judge Sean Perkins.

Jackson replied, “No, sir” and moved his camera up so his bare legs could no longer be seen, and the hearing continued. Jackson was apparently wearing underwear with his uniform shirt.

If you missed this year’s Tar Barrels event in Ottery St. Mary, England, make plans to attend next year. On Nov. 5, the BBC reported, selected residents of the town ran through the streets with flaming barrels of tar held over their heads in an “exhilarating” tribute to ... something.

Even historians aren’t sure what, but the tradition goes back to 1605, “when bonfires and effigies were burnt and barrels were plentiful,” said Andrew Wade, president of the Tar Barrels Committee. “The barrels used to be rolled, that’s why the people are called barrel rollers.”

At some point, the barrels were picked up and carried. A total of 27 are carried throughout the event.

Surprisingly, “None of the participants are allowed to drink,” Wade said. “It will carry on as long as there are people in Ottery who want to do it.” [BBC, 11/5/2025]

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned o may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying o all liens senior to the lien being auctioned o , before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s o ce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, bene ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call the phone number shown below in bold, using the Reference number assigned to this case on SHOWN ABOVE. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be re ected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the

indebtedness secured by said Notice, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid assessments secured by said Notice with interest thereon as provided in said Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Notice of Assessment and Claim of Lien.

O’side artist carries on family’s artistic legacy

By Jordan P. Ingram OCEANSIDE —

Oceanside native Jeffrey Calkins always has a pen and paper handy.

While a chef by trade, Calkins, 53, is an artist at heart, and can often be found sketching at his family’s small dining room table, which now serves as his de facto work station.

The kitchen-table studio is surrounded by stacks of paper filled with intricate and often humorous depictions of scenes from everyday life, including campouts, monster truck rallies, restaurants, skateboarding and surfing competitions, among others.

Despite only recently returning to work as a cook after undergoing back surgery two years ago, Calkins’ art production remains prolific, whipping up sketches in just minutes whenever he’s not cooking for guests at El Camino Country Club in Carlsbad.

“If I get an idea, I jot it down or draw it real quick,” he said. “It could be an object, person or title. The more I put on the paper, the better I feel. I don’t just scribble. I get to the point and try to be as detailed as possible. When I finish a project and I’m detailed as possible, it’s rewarding for me.”

Calkin primarily works in pen and ink, watercolor, acrylic, and pastel, and describes his artistic approach as meticulous, meant to

evoke an emotional response, especially a smile or a laugh.

“If I can make the viewer happy, at least give them a smile or a giggle, that’s part of my goal,” he said.

Calkins comes from a long line of artists. His grandmother, Gloria Calkins, painted backgrounds for Walt Disney animation in the 1940s. His father, Jerry Calkins, was a designer and illustrator who later became a well-known surf photographer.

After working as a roofer, Jerry Calkins shot photos for Surfer magazine and

Breakout, filling thousands of Kodachrome slides with action shots of legendary wave riders Joey Buran, Tom Curren, Witt Rowlett (Witt’s Carlsbad Pipelines), Dale Dobson and Donald Takayama, among countless others.

The family also counted surf journalists among close friends, including former North County Times editor Robert Yehling.

Jerry Calkins died two and a half years ago after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease, with Jeffrey and his mother doing their best to care for him at home despite his rapid decline. After his

death, more than 200 surfers attended a celebration of life in Oceanside. “It was like a 1980s surf reunion,” Jeffrey Calkins said. Calkins grew up on the beach and surfed competitively at Carlsbad High School alongside future pro surfer Taylor Knox and Olympic gold medalist snowboarder Shaun White. He had sponsors and competed regularly before chronic ear issues closed that chapter for good.

“I was almost a pro surfer, pro bodyboarder,” he said. “My doctor said if you want to keep your hearing,

Calkins’ art career has included murals in private homes, holiday window paintings and a 1993 logo design for an Oceanside mako shark tournament. He once submitted 200 single-panel comics to the San Diego Union-Tribune, pitching a series he called “The World Around Us.”

Influenced by Norman Rockwell and Gary Larson’s “The Far Side,” he hopes to publish a coloring book or art collection and said a company in Hawaii has expressed interest in bringing

“I can do my art all day long, every day,” he said. “I’d like people to recognize my work and see the humor I can produce.”

for hiring a new Superintendent/President, student leaders hope the board will find someone who continues Rivera-Lacey’s focus on equity.

“As we prepare for the next chapter of leadership, I want to acknowledge the significance of the decision that lies before the governing board in selecting our next president … We ask that the hiring process continues to center around the values that make Palomar strong, inclusive, and a true commitment to student success, equity, and achievement,” Hernandez said.

TROT TURNS

2 decades of miles, memories and gratitude

OCEANSIDE — Twen-

ty years ago, 2,000 runners gathered on Coast Highway to launch what would become one of San Diego County’s most cherished traditions—the O’side Turkey Trot. From that first sunrise start, the event has evolved into a nationally recognized Thanksgiving run, attracting participants from across the country and raising more than $500,000 for local schools and nonprofits.

This year’s Trot also features the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank as its official nonprofit partner, helping provide Thanksgiving meals for local families in need.

Founded in 2006 by friends Kathy Kinane and the late Richard Muscio, the O’side Turkey Trot was created from a simple idea—to bring people together in gratitude and good health.

“We wanted something families could share together year after year,” said Kinane, co-founder of the Trot. “It’s become a day where community, fitness, and thankfulness collide in the best possible way.”

After Richard’s passing, his wife Mari Muscio carried the legacy forward, honoring the vision that turned one idea into a decades-long tradition of joy and connection.

The Trot’s 20-year history is filled with heartfelt
