Vista mayoral candidates spar over public safety

By Stephen Wyer

VISTA — Two mayoral hopefuls in Vista are pub licly accusing each other of dishonesty after one can didate’s policy decisions raised questions about his commitment to law en forcement and public safe ty.

Deputy Mayor John Franklin and Trustee Cip riano Vargas, of the Vista Unified School District, are both hoping to replace outgoing Mayor Judy Rit ter.

According to a web site launched earlier this month and statements

made to The Coast News, Franklin’s campaign took aim at Vargas’ record on law enforcement, accusing

the school board official of diminishing security at Vista schools by terminat ing three school resource

officers (SROs), whom he reportedly referred to as a “school to prison pipeline.”

Franklin also alleged Vargas made other in flammatory anti-police statements, calling law enforcement a “resource to intimidate the commu nity,” and proposed “cuts of $54.9 million from local police budgets,” according to the website.

“(Vargas) is running from his record on public safety,” Franklin said. “I start with the fact that he made the motion and cast the deciding vote fire SROs out of schools in 2019. He

made the claim that this decision was purely for budgetary reasons, but subsequently, more than 200 employees – not teach ers – were then hired. So the claim that this was a necessity for budgetary reasons just doesn’t hold water.”

Just earlier this month, Vargas and the Vista Uni fied school board voted to rehire the SROs that were fired three years earlier, which Franklin calls a po litically-calculated stunt intended to obscure his op

Independent returns lag, Dems top count, says poll

By Stephen Wyer

ENCINITAS — While many anticipate a lower overall voter turnout for this year’s midterm elec tion, ballots cast in Cali fornia’s 38th State Senate District race between Dem ocrat Catherine Blakespear and Republican Matt Gun derson have exceeded state wide averages, according to recent data.

As of Monday, approx imately 18% of voters in District 38 have already returned their ballots, com pared to a statewide aver age of 11%, according to data collected by Political Data Intelligence, a poll ing organization that tracks statewide election results.

So far, 42% of voters who have returned ballots are registered Democrats, while 34% are Republi cans, according to the data, with 24% of voters having returned ballots being reg istered as independent or other party affiliations.

Blakespear, who cur rently serves as the mayor of Encinitas and chair of SANDAG, and Gunderson are both running for the 38th District seat, vying to replace State Sen. Pat Bates (R-Laguna Niguel), who has been termed out of office.

Paul Mitchell, a politi cal data consultant for Re districting Partners, said it’s difficult to make any

Holiday Shopping & Fun in the Village

November 26th marks the much-antic ipated, post-Thanksgiv ing holiday shopping tradition that brings to gether communities in support of their favorite small brick-and-mortar operations to help their communities thrive. It is called Small Business Saturday®, and in many respects, to the solo preneurs and mom and pop shops in Carlsbad Village, it is our Super bowl.

Black Friday (and Cyber Monday) began with one goal in mind: to help businesses maximize profits. Small Business Saturday®, on the other hand, is about more than just the money. Small Business Saturday®, the day after Black Friday, is a day dedicated to local participation and elevates the awareness of the good local businesses bring to the community.

There are many benefits to shopping brick-and-mortar, with better customer service, a more personal shopping experience, and greater product diversity being three of them. It is not a stretch to say that once you’ve shopped in downtown Carlsbad and received the one-on-one attention our merchants and restaurants provide that you will be hooked. But if that isn’t enough incentive, consider that the businesses in downtown Carlsbad pay taxes and fees to the City of Carlsbad that in turn help support our public schools, parks, roads, and sidewalks, as well as fund public service workers, like firefighters and police.

According to the Small Business Administration, nearly twen ty-seven million small businesses in the United States generate about 50 percent of our GDP. They also contribute to growth and vitality in several important areas of economic and socioeconomic development. Small businesses create jobs, spark innovation, and provide opportunities for women and minorities to achieve financial success and independence.

As an official Small Business Saturday® Neighborhood Cham pion, a program started by American Express in 2010, the Carlsbad Village Association (CVA) is gearing up for a spectacular downtown celebration on November 26th. You can count on live music, shop ping discounts, local hospitality, Carlsbad swag, and a gift card give away (no purchase necessary) hosted by CVA with over $1,500 in restaurant gift cards up for grabs!

Visit the Carlsbad Village Association website at www.carls bad-village.com for the latest details on this year’s downtown cel ebration and mark your calendar to shop local this holiday season!

By Stephen Wyer ENCINITAS

— The Encinitas City Council unanimously adopted an ordinance on Wednesday, Oct. 26, integrating a con troversial state housing law into the city's municipal code to establish objective development standards and create parameters for eligi ble developers and proper ty owners.

Senate Bill 9 allows homeowners to build a sec ond primary dwelling unit or split their property and develop up to four primary units and four accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on a single-family lot.

The new city ordinance includes restrictions on eli gible lots regarding setback landscape and various reg

place, we have more power over what people do with SB 9. By saying no to this (ordinance), we would be saying that the developer can do anything. We want to be able to tell them what we expect to do — to use SB 9 to the benefit of the com munity.

“I’m still opposed to SB 9… and there’s certainly the other issue of trying to reform state housing man dates, and that’s still valid, but in the place we’re at right now where we have this mandate imposed on us, the best course of action is to manage the work that the developer is doing.”

Some residents ex pressed their opposition to the council’s decision, which they said appeared

council's move to codify the state law as a hasty deci sion.

“There is no need for this mayor and council to rush to the barn here and yet further advance the problematic SB 9 legisla tion, again, when you have already approved so much new development in the city of Encinitas and have no idea about what the un funded impacts are that this will cause at buildout,” Thompson said.

“This is a dangerous path and puts the public’s safety at risk, imperils current infrastructure, schools, residents and busi nesses, community char acter and quality of life. It also increases the liability for the city.”

Del Mar Union candidates talk special ed, enrollment at forum

By Laura Place

DEL MAR — Seven candidates vying for three open positions on the Del Mar Union School District board of trustees shared their views on top issues facing the district in a vir tual forum ahead of the Nov. 8 election.

Incumbents Trustee Doug Rafner and Trust ee Scott Wooden, both of whom have served 12 years on the board, along with Trustee Katherine Fitzpat rick, who is finishing her first term, are all running for reelection against four challengers. Cinda Peck and Bill Porter are both retired district teachers, and Maniza Sheikhani and Danielle Roybal are both parents of students in the district’s special education program.

Trustees are elected via an at-large process rather than via election districts. The top three vote-getters in November will win seats on the board.

At an Oct. 24 forum hosted by the League of Women Voters North Coun ty San Diego, candidates faced questions regarding implementing transitional kindergarten, declining en rollment, engaging stake holders and their priorities for the board.

Del Mar Union is cur rently one of a few elemen tary districts in California that have not complied with the mandate to implement transitional kindergar ten. While all candidates agreed TK is necessary, they had different ideas on

the district’s status as a ba sic aid district, which relies mainly on revenue from property taxes rather than state funds, means they cannot make the program happen right now without pulling resources from oth er programs.

“The issue is the fis cal responsibility of imple menting that program,” Rafner said. “As a basic aid district, the state that re quires those programs does not offer funding for those programs.”

Roybal argued that the district could allocate funds toward TK and other pro grams from other budget areas, noting that the com munity possesses healthy reserves. Fitzpatrick, a vo cal proponent of TK in Del Mar Union, agreed that the district should prioritize it and said that it is not hurt ing for money.

“I would like to see our school district make some

jority of school districts — in the state, and offer more early educational oppor tunities,” Fitzpatrick said.

“(Unlike) those given state dollars based on average daily attendance, we get so much more in property tax es that our students receive more than most of the sur rounding ADA districts. We are a very wealthy district.”

Wooden stated that with declining enrollment, the district should have more funds to allocate to ward implementing TK and other programs, such as fully funding teachers for the district’s STEAM+ pro grams.

In August, district lead ers said they were keeping an eye on decreasing enroll ment in local schools, a phe nomenon consistent with state and national trends. Several candidates at the forum agreed that trust in public schools needs to be built up again to bring stu dents back.

Does Blakespear deserve higher office?

By Sheila S. Cameron

Before sending Cather ine Blakespear to the Cali fornia Senate to enact legis lation, we should first look at what she has done for the city of Encinitas.

Given her record, ask: Does Catherine Blakespear deserve higher office?

HOUSING

• The 15 high-density housing sites originally pre sented and voted down in Measure U will be enforced anyway, thanks to the may or’s refusal to stand up to the building industry.

• Originally presented as a total of 1,504 dwelling units, the real number is closer to 7,000 units from a combination of low afford ability requirements and density bonus additions.

• The mayor had an op portunity to adopt the Plan ning Commission’s 50% affordable housing but in stead chose to average just 15%.

• The mayor submitted a housing plan committing Encinitas to 100% afford able housing on each of the 15 sites, knowing the huge shortfall she is creating by requiring just 15%. No wonder she now wants to add high-density housing on El Camino Real.

ECONOMIC & STRATEGIC PLANNING

• A 1 ½ mile stretch of North Coast Highway in Leucadia, narrowing from 4 to 2 lanes, will cost more than $62 million in tax dol lars!

• One hundred mature trees were removed on this project — so much for elimi nating greenhouse gases.

• Approximately 2,0002,500 cars are to be pushed onto parallel Vulcan Ave nue, where there is an ele mentary school and family apartments, per staff re ports.

• Railroad Underpass at El Portal – $13 million tax dollars!

• Stormwater/Drain age: Not addressed despite

years of talk. With the next significant rainfall, the area will be underwater!

SUPPRESSING VOTING RIGHTS AND VOICES

• Sued her constituents to reverse Proposition A –“The Right to Vote Initia tive” passed in 2013, which gives citizens of the city a right to vote on large, ma jor housing projects. Mayor Blakespear LOST the law suit — estimated to cost a half-million tax dollars.

• Citizens issued a cease-and-desist letter to the mayor for violating their First Amendment Rights after she suppressed unfavorable comments on her public Facebook page. The mayor agreed to pub licly apologize and pay at torneys’ fees but allegedly violated the terms of the settlement agreement.

• The mayor’s public “apology” was a poor at tempt to blame the citizens for her unconstitutional behavior. Now, she faces a lawsuit for failure to abide by the terms of the original lawsuit.

• She routinely reduc es citizen speaking time at council meetings from nine minutes to two minutes on controversial subjects, even turning off the microphone to silence speakers.

HOMELESS

• Blakespear declared a false “emergency crisis” situation to justify a grant for a homeless safe parking lot, which legally enabled her to sidestep zoning laws and an otherwise-required Prop A vote by the citizens.

Other area North Coun ty councils refused to sup port the parking lot pro gram in their cities.

• Blakespear’s encour agement, advertising and advocacy have tripled the homeless count in Encini tas, not including the safe parking lot.

• Major funding allo cated for motel rooms and nonprofits has been spo radic and unsuccessful in

meeting this influx of pop ulation.

CRIME

• Once having the low est statistic for crime in North County, we now have the highest rate!

• Examples from the Sheriff’s Crime Log: home invasions, women attacked on streets and in home, rob beries, looting, stabbings, guns and arson!

SANDAG

• SANDAG (San Di ego Association of Gov ernments) is a regional decision-making body with representatives from each city and San Diego County. There are 18 members who represent you and make sweeping, countywide de cisions on how to spend your tax dollars, including the number of new housing units assigned to each city.

• Blakespear has been the chair of SANDAG for two years. Under her watch:

a) She supported the 4 cents per mile tax on mo torists that requires mile age trackers on cars! The mileage tax is a regressive tax that will hit hardest those who can least afford it.

b) Voted against 14 other cities to increase the number of housing units each is assigned. And with these additional dwelling units come more traffic and less parking without infra structure improvements.

c) Roughly $289 mil lion dollars in contract cost overruns and inadequate standard operating proce dure, according to a recent SANDAG audit. This re flects failed leadership and inadequate financial ac countability.

For the above reasons and more, this Democrat supports Matt Gunderson for State Senator for the 38th District.

Sheila S. Cameron is an Encinitas resident and former mayor of Encinitas.

Community Commentary Misinformation about hate speech resolution

By Katrina Young

Of late I have noticed a concerning practice of proliferating and ampli fying false rhetoric.

Therefore as a San Di eguito Union High School District board member, I feel compelled to address the misinformation about my resolution (“The Gov erning Board’s Response to Hate Speech”) that appeared on the October meeting agenda.

Some members of the community have called it illegal. At least one did so while also admitting that they had not even read it.

The truth is that I took great pains to en sure that nothing in the resolution sought to chill, silence or violate free speech.

Vetted by lawyers, it advocated for civility and honored procedures already in place; proce dures that have somehow recently gotten lost.

Per our by-laws, board members may briefly re spond to statements made during public comments. This and other aspects of the resolution robustly defends free speech.

In fact, its first ac tionable paragraph clear ly affirms “the sanctity of the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment rights.”

More than a legal imperative, freedom of expression is also morally necessary. Good solutions come from multiple, and often dissenting, perspec tives.

But first we must com mit ourselves to disagree ing in a productive fash ion. In addition to hate speech inside the board room, our district has suf fered from an onslaught of inappropriate posts, comments, texts, emojis, and emails.

At their core, they seep valuable resources and time away from our mission to educate and support all students.

I am proud of this

resolution. And remain grateful for the support of my fellow board member, Trustee Julie Bronstein, who also agrees with the final paragraph: “We act as responsible members of a shared community when we engage as empa thetic speakers and gen erous listeners.”

More importantly, we all act as responsive lead

Regardless of what political party flag you fly, when does your hometown Encinitas community truly take priority?

The priority of our safety and well-being for family and friends?

Most of us just simply don’t want our vote and our voice to be crushed, over turned and used against us for politicians’ person al agendas on issues and ideas that don’t come from us.

We also don’t want in formation withheld from us until it’s too late to make a decision.

I think we can agree

ers when we encourage others to communicate with a genuine desire to empathize, respect, and understand one another.

As an agency of pub lic education, we cannot censor others by picking and choosing what we deem acceptable, but we can gently remind our community to censor or govern themselves.

In many ways, the kindergarten adage of the “Golden Rule” applies in the most profound ways inside the boardroom and across all corners of our community.

As board members, we are elected to listen to all voices, even if and especially when they dis agree with us. My hope is for others to do the same.

Katrina Young repre sent Trustee Area 2 in the San Dieguito Union High School District.

we’re almost all the same in that way.

Let’s put those parti san colored flags down for a bit and vote for the best odds of being able to be not overrun by the above prob lems that we’re currently suffering.

Most of us are a little bit country and a little bit rock n’ roll, no?

It’s not difficult to be color-blind to the influence of partisna red-blue flag colors we like to fly, and vote what’s best and safest for Encinitas.

Fantasy fridge meets cold reality small talk

jean gillette

Enjoy one from the archives.

The fun just never stops around my house. I get to buy a new refrigerator.

You think I’m being sarcastic, but no. I love it when I can actually shop for a big-ticket item with a completely clear con science.

We actually had two refrigerators for a while, which I know is neither ecologically sound nor fis cally responsible. All that is outweighed, however, by having a place to make my husband keep his occa sional bounty from a fish ing trip and his foul-smell ing cheese collection.

It’s also nice to have a place to stock up on drinks for the young’ns and store food for the occasional soi ree.

It lived a long and use ful life as a hand-me-down from my parents but final ly succumbed to a hot and moldy death.

It didn’t go easily, ei ther. It took a dozen ba gels, a six-pack of beer and what I think was left over onion dip, with it. I can’t be sure if it had any effect on my husband’s cheese.

Meanwhile, the pri mary fridge in the kitch en appears to be crippled with grief for its dead cousin. It is currently weeping water down the back side into the vege table crisper, leaving the vegetables anything but crisp.

It has been doing this for several years, off and on. I was able to pour hot water down a drain that freezes up and it would behave for another six months. This time it only lasted two weeks.

The message is clear to me. It has lost its will

to live. For certain, I have lost the will to live with it, so refrigerator shopping I will happily go.

I’ll probably settle for a simple over-and-under, but what I’d really like is a walk-in with nothing but eye-level shelves. My goal is never to have to bend over and search a bottom shelf again.

It would also be help ful whenever my husband or children need to find something. Eye level is all they scan. If it can’t be seen with one rotation of the head, it must only exist in mom’s parallel universe and only she can fetch it.

Meanwhile, I am try ing to clear my calendar for a major sweep of ap pliance stores. Once I decide I need something like a refrigerator, I want it yesterday. I become easy pickings for every silver-tongued appliance salesman out there in his double-knit, plaid sports coat.

It usually goes like this. I first spot and fall in love with the $6,000, acre-deep, wood-paneled beauty that purifies your water, makes your coffee and automatically rotates your tires.

This one will hold a country ham, a large sal ad bowl, a platter of hors d’oeuvres and a 24-pack of soda pop, keep the butter soft and the lettuce crisp for a month. And that’s just in the door.

I then sullenly move down the line, looking for that delicate blend of features I want at a price I am willing to add to my already fat credit-card balance.

Back and forth, round and round, I try to com pare cubic square feet, crushed ice or cubed, en ergy efficiency and colors until my eyes cross. Then I settle for the one on sale.

By the time they de liver it in two weeks, I’ll have forgotten what it looked like anyway.

CARLSBAD — Polit ical insiders say a secret backroom deal is in the works to help elect Coun cilman Keith Blackburn as the next mayor of Carls bad.

Linda Slater, president of the Democratic Club of Carlsbad-Oceanside, or DEMCCO, said at least two local Democrat par ty members approached three sitting council mem bers — Blackburn, Coun cilwoman Priya Bhat-Patel and Councilwoman Teresa Acosta — with a deal to support Blackburn’s can didacy in exchange for vot ing to appoint former local candidate Lela Panagides to the council.

Blackburn, a Repub lican, is running against Democratic candidate Mike Curtin for the may or’s seat.

Several other sources, consisting of both Dem ocrats and Republicans, also confirmed the deal with The Coast News, but each insisted on anonymi ty due to potential retali ation. None of the sources said when the agreement may have transpired.

Panagides, who lost to Blackburn for the council’s District 2 seat in 2020, de nied any deal was in place in a Facebook post that has since been removed.

“I want to state un equivocally that this is false,” Panagides wrote in the post. “Keith Blackburn and I have never had a ver bal or written exchange regarding anything to do with filling a seat on the Carlsbad City Council. Also, appointments are elected by a majority of the vote of all council mem bers. If Keith Blackburn is elected mayor, then the council will decide to have an election or an appoint ment to fill his district seat. I hope this clears up any confusion about this matter.”

Bhat-Patel and Acosta did not respond to ques tions about reports of the deal.

Blackburn told The Coast News there is “abso lutely no deal,” calling the reports “misinformation,” adding he can’t control who spreads rumors and misinformation. He said he is focusing on his race in the final week.

The longtime coun cil member, who said he hasn’t spoken with Panag ides in over a year, said he supports an appointment to his seat should he win the mayor’s race, but only for a qualified individual.

Voters can also peti tion for a special election, like when Councilwom an Barbara Hamilton re signed from her District 1 seat in 2019. Cori Schum acher was subsequently elected in 2020 but re signed the following year, setting up the council’s ap

pointment of Councilman Peder Norby to serve the remainder of the term set to expire this year.

Blackburn is running from a “safe seat,” mean ing he retains his position on the council even if he loses his mayoral bid. If he wins, the City Council can appoint a replacement or hold a special election to fill the vacant District 2 seat.

But Blackburn’s op ponent has personally observed the political machinations of local Dem ocratic power brokers and politicos in Carlsbad.

During a recent may oral forum, Curtin said a small faction of members in the Democratic Club of Carlsbad-Oceanside worked to torpedo his en dorsement from the San Diego County Democrat Party based on his friend ship with Mayor Matt Hall, a Republican.

Curtin, who changed his registration from “No Party Preference” to “Democrat” on the advice of consultants, later ques tioned his party-line shift after learning of attempts to sabotage his party en dorsement.

“The hypocrisy of the elected Carlsbad Demo crats is astounding,” Cur tin said in a statement. “Prior to my endorsement interview, a Democratic Party official expressed advance knowledge of their intention to collude with my Republican oppo nent and suggested that they would not endorse me in my quest to become the Democratic Party en dorsed candidate for may or of Carlsbad.

“When the time came, both of them declined to endorse me. Following that, and leading up to my party endorsement inter view, these officials and their allies engaged in a smear campaign to manip ulate Democratic Central Committee members into believing that the best path forward for the Dem ocratic Party is to have no endorsed candidate for Mayor of Carlsbad.

“This begs the ques tion as to what their true motivations were and what personal ambitions are fu eling their collusion with my Republican opponent in order to maintain the status quo and not have an independent, free thinker

as mayor?”

Curtin said not re ceiving the county Dems' endorsement has allowed him to continue his grass roots campaign to target Democrats, Republicans and independents alike.

Janet Lacy of Oceans ide, who spoke in support of Curtin during his en dorsement hearing, said she was angry at the lies and misrepresentation shared by three individu als who spoke against Cur tin.

She described those against Curtin as “conspir acy theorists” who never wanted to hear Curtin's ideas and feared their in ability to control him if elected mayor.

“These people were just hostile,” Lacy said of the endorsement hearing. “I admire Mike, and no one can control him.”

Oceanside Mayor Es ther Sanchez, a Democrat, has voiced her support for Curtin and spoke in his favor during the en dorsement hearing, along with former Carlsbad City Councilwoman Julie Nygaard. Curtin also has

endorsements from the conservative Latino Amer ican Political Association, Planned Parenthood and Southwest Regional Coun cil of Carpenters. Blackburn holds en dorsements from the San Diego County Republican Party and the Carlsbad Po lice and Fire associations.

Personal, political attacks fly in Carlsbad District 1 and 3 races

DeeDee Trejo-Rowl ett, one of six candidates running for the District 1 seat on the Carlsbad City Council, faced a torrid backlash of online criti cism from resident Kris Wright, who questioned Trejo-Rowlett’s ability to read city staff reports based on her lack of a col lege degree.

Specifically, Wright said she is backing Sam Ward, a lawyer and can didate endorsed by the county Democratic Party, because of his ability to read city staff reports as “he is used to reading (le gal) briefs.”

Trejo-Rowlett, who

has typically remained out of the online political fray, questioned Wright regarding the relevance of her academic background to her candidacy, noting Wright and others helped elect former Councilwom an Cori Schumacher, who also did not have a college degree and subsequently resigned in 2021 due to the threat of a recall election.

Trejo-Rowlett said she worked for 25 years at Bank of America, spending 20 years in executive roles, and also runs her family business, Lola’s 7Up Deli.

In addition, D1 candi date Tony Bona made waves on Oct. 31 after launching a political attack on social media against District 3

incumbent Councilwoman Priya Bhat-Patel.

Bona tweeted, “I won der if the people in your district know what the Mayor of Carlsbad (Matt Hall) thinks of you? Your wasteful spending will find you working at your family Subway shop and not the council.”

Bhat-Patel and others criticized Bona’s tweet, calling it racist and mi sogynistic. Since taking office in 2018, Bhat-Patel said she’d received bigot ed messages and threats of violence from other indi viduals (not Bona), includ ing death and sexual as sault. She hoped the mayor would denounce Bona’s sentiments.

O’side adds Betty’s lot to beachfront improvement options

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— The city is moving forward with renovation plans for popu lar beachfront sites, includ ing the Junior Seau Beach Community Center, amphi theater and bandshell, and will explore plans to add a rooftop park to Betty’s lot across the street from the Strand.

The Oceanside City Council on Oct. 26 approved staff’s recommendations to begin its environmental review of Phase 2 of the Beachfront Improvement Feasibility Study during a special council workshop.

According to the city, the study will identify and analyze existing conditions of the beachfront, evalu ate opportunities and con straints at the site, and col lect input from stakeholder groups and the community

throughout the process.

City staff started the study in May 2020 before the council approved a pro fessional services agree ment with architect and de

sign firm Johnson Favaro in January 2021.

“The need to enhance the beachfront area has been an ongoing priority of the city for a number of

years,” said Darra Woods, the city’s senior civil engi neer.

The council also accept ed conceptual, preliminary design alternatives, includ

ponent’s past opposition to law enforcement entities.

“They just ratified an agreement between the city and the schools to bring back SROs, but why is this just weeks before the elec tion,” Franklin said. “Why not sooner if this was right thing to do? It’s totally a po litical stunt.”

Franklin also went after Vargas’ alleged ties to the Center on Policy Initiatives (CIP), which has publicly advocated for redirecting funds away from local police departments and disband ing San Diego Police De partment’s “street gang and gang intervention units,” ac cording to KPBS.

Franklin said the group employs extensive anti-po lice rhetoric on its online platforms.

“Cipriano was not just endorsed by this association (CIP), he is credited by the organization as being the au thor of its budget priorities, which include ‘dismantling racist street gang units,’” Franklin said. “I think it’s pretty clear where he stands when it comes to supporting law enforcement.

“Vargas has also been quoted as saying that, ‘The emotional stress and anxi ety’ that students face be cause of the presence of law enforcement, ‘negatively im pacts the learning outcomes of all students,’” Franklin continued. “So basically, after six years of BLM and defund the police rhetoric, all of a sudden, we’re now supposed to believe that he’s pro-law enforcement? What gives? This is not right. He’s trying to pull wool over voters’ eyes and over his easy-to-document public re cord.”

A CPI spokesperson reached out to The Coast News to refute Franklin’s claims.

“The Center on Policy Initiatives (CPI) did not en dorse Cipriano Vargas or any other candidates for elected office,” the spokesperson said, noting that as a condi tion of its nonprofit status, the organization is unable to endorse candidates.

ing the option only to ren ovate the existing Junior Seau Beach Community Center rather than expand its footprint in any way.

The renovations will “refresh” the building, said consultant Steve John son of Johnson Favaro, in cluding minor cosmetic, American Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant accessi bility improvements, a pla za and proposed public art and signage honoring the late Junior Seau. Seau, an Oceanside native and pro fessional NFL linebacker who died in 2012, was best known for his time with the San Diego Chargers.

Estimated construction costs for the center’s reno vations are about $14.2 mil lion.

Concrete cracks and other signs of deterioration in the amphitheater and

The CPI also denied Vargas was the author or had any involvement with the co alition’s budget priorities, as Franklin claims.

While CPI denies en dorsing Vargas, his picture is featured on the organi zation’s website masthead, Franklin argues, calling the organization’s rebuttal a “game of semantics.”

Vargas is also a strate gic initiatives and commu nity engagement manager for Supervisor Terra Lawson Remer’s public affairs and community relations team. In the bio on Lawson Remer’s website, Vargas’ policy areas include Invest in San Diego Families, which is convened by CPI.

Additionally, Vargas worked with Alliance of Californians for Communi ty Empowerment (ACCE) — a coalition member of CPI — on budget advocacy. According to its website, ACCE credits Vargas for his work on budget policy devel opment: “Cipriano worked with ACCE on budget ad vocacy as part of the Invest in San Diego Families coali tion.”

“Since Cipriano refuses to answer these questions, I suppose voters will have to make up their own minds,” Franklin said. “For me, I wouldn’t be caught dead ap pearing on the masthead of any organization calling to defund the police. This is an attempt to confuse and ob fuscate, plain and simple.”

Vargas responded to Franklin’s accusations in an email statement released to The Coast News on Tuesday.

“John Franklin is ly ing,” Vargas said. “He’s ly ing about his record, and he’s lying about mine. He’s been on the council for eight years. During his tenure, homelessness in Vista has gotten worse and crime is now increasing. To deflect public attention from his failures, John Franklin is engaging in Donald Trump ‘Big Lie’ tactics.

bandshell were big reasons for initiating the Beach front Improvement Feasi bility Study.

Along with its alterna tive plans for the communi ty center, the council also approved an option to raise the bandshell height from just under 24 feet to 29 feet and to keep it a closed band shell without any openings, as discussed in some com munity meetings regarding the project.

Additionally, the am phitheater will receive several updates that will increase disabled acces sibility, including 24 new seats for wheelchairs and widened aisles. The over all seating will increase from 2,500 to 2,630, and restrooms with additional storage will be built under

I have pledged repeatedly to increase the numbers of sheriff’s (deputies) on pa trol in Vista to combat the increase in crime that has occurred on John Franklin’s watch.

“I have promised to build a shelter for home less veterans and children to help deal with the dra matic increase in homeless ness that has occurred on John Franklin’s watch. I am proud of my commitment to public safety. On the school board, now that COVID has abated and the schools are fully re-opened, I success fully passed a motion to hire three sheriff’s deputies to keep our children and staff safe.”

When pressed for com ment, Vargas did not answer The Coast News’ questions over his role in terminat ing three SROs, nor did he respond to questions about his purported advocacy to defund local police depart ments and dissolve gang in tervention units.

Franklin responded by saying Vargas’ past decisions related to law enforcement are indicative of his future handling of law enforcement issues facing the city.

“Safety and discipline have repeatedly been on gruesome display in our Vista schools during the last several years,” Frank lin said. “Cipriano Vargas has presided over a school board that has minimized disciplinary problems, fired school resource officers and created an unsafe environ ment for learning. Multiple highly publicized reports, in cluding the recent incident at Vista High School and the gun on campus at Rancho Buena Vista High School, both reported on in this newspaper, make that clear.

“With his long, clear and repeated history of an ti-law enforcement state ments and his public actions to fire school resource of ficers from Vista schools, how possibly can we believe that he is the ‘law and order candidate’ who will advance the mission of increasing the numbers of deputies pa trolling our city? Past behav ior is always the best predic tor of future performance.”

JUNIOR SEAU Community Center, amphitheater and bandshell are to undergo environmen tal review for the next phase of Oceanside’s Beachfront Improvement Feasibility Study.

assessments about what districtwide voter turnout levels could mean for the closely-watched race cov ering North County San Diego and South Orange County, and it’s also hard to compare this year’s elec tions with past midterm elections.

“It’s hard to make pre dictions here based on the recent elections,” Mitchell said. “In 2018, not every body got a ballot because that’s how it was before COVID when they decid ed to mail ballots to every voter. And in 2020, you had a presidential election, Trump vs. Biden. We’re in a vacuum in terms of having recent comparables. Yes, the Democratic turnout is

Dems outperforming a lit tle bit (right now) — its in dependents who are under performing so far, only 24% votes returned by them,” Mitchell continued. “Now, is that because of increased partisanship or because more young people are in dependents? I don’t know. Half the ballots returned are from seniors, and only 10,000 ballots returned from young people. Com monly, young people don’t vote early, and it’s also true

young voters.”

Thad Kousser, a po litical scientist at UCSD, agreed with Mitchell that pollsters should be cautious about reading too much into the early turnout fig ures.

“It’s hard to read the tea leaves of the early turn out figures,” Kousser said. “Even though Election Day has really turned into elec tion month in California, the majority of voters are still going to cast their bal lots in the last week of the election — we still procras tinate.

“Election procedures have changed, but human nature hasn’t. The people who turned in ballots early

in these early stages, but that doesn’t mean that Democrats have an edge. Just because young voters aren’t voting early, that doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t vote by Novem ber 8.”

In District 38, the polit ical scientist said he wasn’t surprised voter turnout was higher than the state average.

“I expect this to be a much higher turnout than in the state overall,” Kousser said. “It’s a highly educated, highly affluent district. Not only has $11 million been spent on this state senate race, but we also have a huge overlap with a competitive con

Blakespear’s campaign declined to comment on the turnout numbers.

As of October 30, vot er turnout in races for the Encinitas City Council is about 19%, or 8,420 bal lots returned out of 44,280 total. Fifty percent of the total ballots returned so far are from Democrats (or 4,194 ballots), 26% from Republicans (2,182), and 24% from independent vot ers (2,044).

destruction of single-family home neighborhoods.

“I didn’t hear any council or mayoral concern about the lack of parking, lack of water, lack of elec tricity, lack of parklands, and lack of schools. But they require government price control on the ADU (accessory dwelling units).

“There are possible moves they could’ve ex plored — but didn’t — if they wanted to attempt to preserve the single-family neighborhood Encinitas we all love instead of rushing to become like El Cajon, filled with rental units. I would’ve tweaked anything the state law was silent on to make automatic approval far less likely.

“I would’ve reached out to the California League of Cities to find strategies others are implementing to retain local land use author ity. They didn’t. They’ve failed at a portion of their primary job — protecting and preserving the quality of life in Encinitas.”

Lyndes argued that op ponents of the ordinance

“They’re confusing people by saying that this decision is us accepting SB 9, and it’s not,” Lyndes said.

“(The ordinance) is putting objective standards that will protect ourselves from SB 9. SB 9 is already the law that the state is mandating that all the cit ies comply with, so this (or dinance) is an opportunity to put together objective standards to ensure that de velopers who go this route respect our city and our community to the fullest extent possible.”

Lisa Shaffer, a former deputy mayor of Encinitas, said that the council made the correct move in setting guidelines for developers seeking to take advantage of the new law.

“(SB 9) is already on the books as a state law,” Shaffer said. “What the city council did was add addi tional protections for the city to mitigate any possi ble impacts of the law. The alternative was for the law to be implemented without those protections or to face expensive futile lawsuits for noncompliance.”

Teen helps families pay for youth sports

Logan, spent hours skate boarding with local kids, many of whom were using old or broken equipment.

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — A Carlsbad teenager is work ing to help middle- and lower-income families cov er the costs associated with youth sports programs.

Gavin Mestler, 18, a senior at Cathedral Cath olic High School, founded Ludus Pursuit, a nonprofit dedicated to helping atrisk youth remain in sports by covering the costs of ap plications, registration and equipment.

“I started small by asking friends and family for equipment,” Mestler told The Coast News. “I’ve always loved sports. I just wanted to spread the joy I was getting from sports and give that joy to kids.

While Mestler has al ways had a philanthropic side, the idea of starting a nonprofit struck him 10 years earlier during a fam ily trip to Fiji.

During his visit, Mes tler had observed some kids playing soccer with a ball wrapped in paper and held together by tape.

Mestler went to the car, plucked his rugby ball

from the backseat and gave it to the kids. The next day, dozens of kids were outside playing rugby, a popular sport on the island nation. This small but signifi cant gesture solidified his passion for helping others. During the height of the pandemic, Mestler and his family traveled to Costa

Rica. While staying in the Central American coun try, Mestler enrolled in a social entrepreneurship class through the UC San Diego Extension’s commu nity outreach program, “Whatever It Takes.”

During his free time, Mestler and his brother,

Mestler negotiated a deal with a local skate shop, bought new skate boards and gave them to the kids. And like that, Lu dus Pursuit was born.

Mestler started net working and recruiting friends as ambassadors to develop connections with local businesses to secure equipment or money to help kids play sports.

Tristan Coffman, a 17-year-old senior at Sage Creek High School, is the organization’s videogra pher, helping with social media outreach by docu menting its success on In stagram.

“Gavin has always told me he has a passion for helping the community and empowering youth,” Coffman said. “I thought it was a great idea. I defi nitely see kids at this age need empowerment, sup port, strength and people from other people. Ludus Pursuit is a great way for us to bring that to them.”

Help at home

Peruvian-born Manny Medina is a local soccer coach and director of At letico San Diego Futsal in Vista.

Futsal is a modified soccer game with five play ers on each team, typically played indoors. According to Medina, several of his players need more money to afford extra training and other fees.

Several months ago, Medina, who also coaches at City SC in Carlsbad, re ceived a call from a friend saying Mestler wanted to help. At first, when Medi na saw a photo of the teen ager, he thought it was a joke.

But Mestler delivered more than $3,000 in do nations, helping 12 young players pay for a threemonth fall futsal clinic. Medina said the clinic al lows roughly 30 kids, ages 7 to 12, to each get 1,000plus touches and teaches important lessons in team work, helps develop social skills and builds confi dence.

“(Mestler) is an an gel,” Medina said. “It’s huge because now they can (practice). They would just be at home watching TV or something. It’s about confidence. If a kid is in a good environment, they’re healthy mentally. If you’re healthy mentally, it helps with school, sports … ev erything works.”

Mestler has expanded the organization’s reach beyond San Diego, donat ing skateboards, wetsuits and surfboards to kids in Mexico.

Additionally, the non profit recently partnered with Seeds of Hope and McGills Skateshop in En cinitas to provide under privileged kids with skate boards.

• All tribes support Prop 26 and Prop 27: FALSE, 30 tribes support Prop 26, eight tribes op pose Prop 27.

• The five wealthiest Southern California tribal casinos have backed Prop 26: TRUE

• All coalition tribal casinos will offer sports betting at their brick-andmortar casinos if Prop 26 passes: TRUE

• Online sports bet ting will continue to be outlawed in California if Prop 26 passes: TRUE

• Prop 26 and Prop 27 will help the state’s home less problems if either or both is passed on Nov. 8: FALSE

Interfaith opens center for homeless

$15 million to complete overall.

By Samantha Nelson

ESCONDIDO — A for mer motel has been trans formed into a 106-bed center offering post-hospi talization and recuperative care for homeless individu als.

Interfaith Community Services recently unveiled the new Abraham and Lil lian Turk Recuperative Care Center, which will provide care for both vet erans and civilians leaving hospitals who have recu perative care needs and are struggling with home lessness.

Interfaith transformed the former America’s Best Value Inn & Suites, a 77-motel on the corner of North Centre City Parkway and West Washington Ave nue, with the help of a $6 million grant from the San Diego County Board of Su pervisors and community donors. The project cost

“We’ll be helping vet erans and civilians coming out of hospitals who have medical needs, who have mental health needs and don’t have a home,” said In terfaith CEO Greg Anglea. “We’ll connect these indi viduals with primary care, with mental health ser vices, and then help them get into stable housing.”

The program has had great success with curbing homelessness since its in ception in 2015.

“We had a proven, ef fective program that really helped to stop people from going back to the streets after leaving the hospital,” said Fiona King, director of development at Interfaith. “Imagine what it’s like be ing discharged from the hospital but this time you don’t have a home and a real place to heal.”

Through multiple local partnerships, Interfaith was able to expand its re cuperative care program. Prior to the new center, the recuperative care program operated out of the Haw

thorne Veteran and Family Resource Center on Ash Street with only 32 beds.

Local hospitals and recovery clinics refer pa tients to be placed in the recuperative care center.

“This is a partnership between healthcare, Inter faith Community Services, the County of San Diego, and community donors to turn a blighted hotel into a first class place of healing,” Anglea said.

After the program and its patients make the full transition over to the new center in the next month, the Hawthorne facility will be renovated to be used as Interfaith’s new fami ly shelter. King noted this year’s Point-in-Time Count saw a 56% increase in fami ly homelessness since 2020.

“This is a big need,” King said about the family shelter.

Interfaith also oper ates a 38-bed addiction re covery program and a 44bed emergency shelter. The shelter is almost always at full capacity, illustrating a need for more shelters in the area according to King.

‘TRIAL OF EBENEZER SCROOGE’

Meet the New and Expanded Encinitas Chamber Of Commerce Team

If you’ve stopped by the Encinitas Chamber and En cinitas Visitor Center office lately, you may have noticed some new faces.

“In an effort to bring more benefits and expertise to the Encinitas business com munity, we have welcomed new staff to further promote a prosperous business environ ment for our members,” says Chamber CEO Sherry Yardley. “Meet our expanded team!”

A resident of Encinitas for 20 years, CAROL KNIGHT is the Community Relations & Membership Director. Since 2021 she has overseen events, membership, marketing com munications and the Visitors Center. She uses her 30+ years of public relations and events experience to help make a positive impact on the com munity, it’s businesses and the Chamber members. Carol loves exploring Olivenhain’s trails, local beaches and hav ing brunch on the patio at one of Encinitas’ many restau rants.

TRACEE MCCOY is the new Membership Coordinator and 25-year resident. After raising her children, Tracee retired as a Director of Op erations in the medical field. Wanting to be more involved in the community, she applied to work at the Chamber. Tra cee’s favorites are Moonlight Beach, Trattoria I Trulli and shopping local to support local

businesses and artists.

AUTUMN BENJAMIN is our new Event Coordinator and Administrative Assistant.

A graduate of University of Vermont with a degree in Community Entrepreneur ship, she has been passionate about small business and non profit work ever since. After owning a wellness company, she brings skills in event plan ning, operations, and manage ment here to the Chamber.

Autumn loves watching live music at the Roxy, the Crack Shack, and hanging out at Car diff State beach.

LAURA CHARLTON is the Chamber’s PR Consultant and worked with national cor porations including Disney, and NAMM before forming her own PR Firm in 2006. She now focuses her efforts locally to generate awareness for San Diego clients including the Encinitas Chamber. She is es pecially proud of writing this

column and in generating ex posure for the great things the Chamber offers the communi ty. Her perfect day in Encini tas includes a walk on Swami’s beach followed by lunch at La Especial Norte.

neath the amphitheater.

“This facility, rather than being repaired, must be reconstructed,” John son said. He explained this

is due to the bandshell and amphitheater’s current con figurations and the lack of ADA accessibility.

The council also add ed Betty’s lot to be consid ered in the environmental review process. Originally not included in the Phase 2 recommendations, staff and consultants have also considered a potential longterm option for Parking Lot 30, also known as Bet ty’s lot, which serves as the main parking area for The Strand and beach access.

Future improvements to Betty’s lot include build ing a structure above an expanded version of the current lot with four commu nity recreation classrooms, three outdoor basketball or multipurpose courts, a new public park and open space.

All of these improve

ments would comply with Proposition A height lim itations that require new construction to be the same height as other buildings along Pacific Street.

Only Mayor Esther Sanchez was opposed to in cluding Betty’s lot. She said the idea didn’t emerge until later discussions with the community and wants to prioritize the other projects, including the pier, first.

“It was not vetted by the public,” Sanchez said. “I believe there’s going to be a lot of pushback.”

But the other council members disagreed with the mayor’s feelings on Bet ty’s lot.

“It’s wise to include it,” said Councilmember Chris topher Rodriguez. “Some thing needs to be done to that space.”

Smart Fit Method adopts LiveO2 therapy for superior workout results

A revolutionary Car diff gym that uses artificial intelligence to enhance the workout experience is in corporating exercise with oxygen therapy (EWOT) training to elevate that ex perience even further.

For over a year, the Smart Fit Method has been making waves among resi dents who are finding better results in shorter amounts of time with the new fitness concept, which uses data and sports science along with high-tech, artificial intelli gence (AI) equipment mon itored by personal trainers focused on getting clients the best results possible.

Unlike any other fit ness center in the area, Smart Fit Method employs 20-minute workouts on each of its unique pieces of AI-en hanced equipment weekly paired with monthly body scans that measure the composition of each client’s body. These scans provide insight to what is changing throughout training, like the amount of fat cells lost versus the amount of muscle cells gained.

Smart Fit Method’s guided workouts produce optimized results with the help of their highly trained personal trainers that sup port your progress. “We are more efficient, more effec tive, and safer than tradi tional exercise,” said Smart Fit Method Founder and CEO Rob Darnbrough. He went on to say, ““The Smart Fit Method is great for all adults and is one of the most effective workout programs in Southern California for the 40+ crowd.”

The trinity of the stateof-the-art equipment in cludes the SMART Cold HIIT (high-intensity inter val training), that packs a two-hour workout in a 20-minute session utilizing compression technology, cooling and interval train ing. Next the SMART Big 5 uses motorized resistance to achieve a perfect mus cular time under tension while performing a total body workout. The workout is intense, but safe, making it a great choice for older clients who have been out of the gym for a while, but also challenging for regular gym-goers.

The third component of the program, the SMART REHIT or CAROL bike, which appears as a regular spin bike but is actually an AI-enhanced tool that al lows users to achieve the maximum results possible in a shorter time frame, now has an added oxygen compo nent.

For the first time ever, Smart Fit Method is combin ing the advanced AI capabil ities of its CAROL bike with LiveO2, an EWOT technolo gy, curating new modalities with a certified breathing coach Samuel Whiting to improve the health span of

its members.

EWOT training gener ates a massive amount of oxygen into the body’s cells. By breathing varied levels, high levels and low levels of oxygen while exercising, the body produces an adap tation response to drive met abolic efficiency, increase red blood cell production, improve circulation, and as discovered by leading re spiratory neurobiologist Dr. Gordon Mitchell at The Uni versity of Florida, a robust increase in somatic and re spiratory coordination.

This science backed protocol allows for the most effective way to stimulate mind, brain and body as oxy gen is driven into the pulmo nary capillaries and distrib uted throughout the body at higher speeds as exercise quickens circulation. Red blood cells and plasma then pick up the extra oxygen and provide it to our body tissues. Waste and toxins

are removed more efficient ly, and cells begin to func tion normally, meanwhile anaerobic viruses, bacteria and fungi that cannot live in an oxygen-rich environment are compromised. Increased oxygen levels also mean fat is burned more efficiently.

“We’re saving people time and giving them a boost in cellular health,” Darnbrough said. “Most people don’t have access to oxygen training. Combining the technologies of LiveO2 and the CAROL bike create a workout that is typically only accessed by celebrities and athletes.”

Smart Fit Method is of fering a FREE oxygen mask, normally a $75-dollar item, for those who sign up for a membership from now un til Thanksgiving. Smart Fit Method limits the number of new clients they can ac cept and has about 20 spac es open, so get there fast and schedule a free workout demonstration today!

US Transportation Secretary views local rail infrastructure

By Laura Place SOLANA

BEACH — U.S. Secretary of Transpor tation Pete Buttigieg joined regional transit leaders and local representatives on Tuesday, Oct. 25, for a trip on the COASTER rail over the deteriorating Del Mar bluffs, where the region is hoping to secure more fed eral dollars to relocate the tracks.

Boarding the train at San Diego’s Old Town Transit Center and taking the 30-minute ride to the Solana Beach station, Butt igieg talked with Rep. Mike Levin, Sen. Toni Atkins and a slew of local and regional leaders as they passed over the precarious portion of the 351-mile LOSSAN (Los Angeles-San Luis Obis po-San Diego) Rail Corridor running along the Del Mar

bluffs.

Buttigieg said seeing the setup of the railway along the failing bluffs, with residents visible walk ing on the beach below, puts the critical nature of the re alignment project into per spective.

“What we have to do is make sure that the time tables of government and construction start bending to meet the timetables be ing set by physics, instead of the other way around,” Buttigieg said. “Having now had a chance to see for my self, just how few feet stand between these rails and the bluffs and the beach, you can see how little room for maneuvers, so to speak, there really is.”

After years of concerns regarding sea level rise and bluff failure, the San

Diego Association of Gov ernments (SANDAG) re ceived $300 million in state funds earlier this year, in large part to the advocacy of Atkins, to jumpstart the relocation of the 1.7 miles of railway running along the precarious bluffs in Del Mar. These funds will cover preliminary engineering and environmental studies.

However, much more funding is needed to make the actual relocation and construction a reality by the goal date of 2035. Rep. Levin said he plans to con tinue advocating for more dollars from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infra structure Bill, which has al located $110 billion for ma jor infrastructure projects across the country.

“We still need the mon ey for construction. We’re going to need billions of dollars overtime; it won't happen overnight, but it's gotta happen. I think the secretary just saw, in par ticular here in Del Mar, why this funding is so critical,” Levin said.

The most recent relo cation plans involve rerout ing the tracks in Del Mar into an underground tunnel through the city, an effort expected to cost around $4 billion.

While it’s a long road toward getting funding, Buttigieg said there is more money available now for these kinds of projects than ever before, thanks to the infrastructure bill.

Erosion and bluff fail ures have caused various closures of the railway in San Diego over the years. Most recently, service on the Amtrak Surfliner and Metrolink trains has been suspended between Orange and San Diego counties since late September and is expected to last through December due to safety con cerns related to the hillside.

During the ride, Butt igieg also had the chance to speak with leaders from SANDAG as well as the North County Transit Dis trict, which operates the right-of-way where the rail passes through Del Mar.

“Every year, I hear our past participants remark that their favorite Trot memory is experiencing a King Tide on race day. When runners and walk ers come down Wisconsin Avenue and turn onto the

Strand, they’ll be entering the ‘Wet Zone,’” said Kathy Kinane, co-founder and race director of O’Side Tur key Trot. “Whether you get splashed or simply enjoy the refreshing seaspray, both are incredibly unique expe riences you can get here at the O’side Turkey Trot.”

The King tide won’t be the only thing making waves on the day of the race. Over the past 16 years, the event has raised more than $450,000 for Oceans ide schools and non-profit organizations. The event benefits the Move Your Feet

Aswe enter the sea son of gratitude and appreciation, let us turn inward for a moment, and give our body the gift of movement. And what better way to do so than to stretch our legs in our gifted community with a good old fashioned run.

Running is the act of opening our bodies and minds to the forces of ac celeration. For many, run ning is a place of solitude, release, and relaxation. For others, it's a brutal test of

Considering that our minds can be full of stress and to do’s, which are resis tance points for movement, a healthy habit of getting up daily and getting your body moving can provide neurological, physiological, and psychological relief, building blocks of a healthy lifestyle that can set your day up for greater success.

Four key components to establishing a new rou tine for your body to find motivation and engage ment in running include condition, technique, prac tice, and perform.

Sharp Memorial Hospital offers advanced treatments for irregular heartbeats

Taking care of your heart is vital to your overall health. At Sharp Memorial Hospital, an expert team of cardiologists, cardiovascu lar surgeons, electrophys iologists and nurse practi tioners provide families in San Diego with comprehen sive heart and vascular care.

One expert, Charles At hill, MD, has dedicated his career to providing innova tive solutions for patients with irregular heartbeats caused by atrial fibrillation, also known as AFib. This common heart condition leads to 158,000 U.S. deaths each year.

Dr. Athill lost his father to AFib, and his death con tinues to drive his passion for his work.

Individuals with AFib are five times more likely to have a stroke.

However, many people have no symptoms and are often unaware of their con dition until it’s discovered during a physical exam ination. That’s why it’s im portant for people to speak with their doctor about their heart health.

Dr. Athill specializes in treating heart rhythm disor ders. Specifically, catheter ablations — a procedure that eliminates abnormal electrical signals — with the goal of restoring normal heart rhythm.

His own family expe rience motivates him to not only offer the most ad vanced treatment options to his patients, but also ensure

they understand the disease and take their medications correctly.

“We’re here to help you,” says Dr. Athill. “This is about extending life and improving the quality of

your life.”

The cardiovascular team at Sharp Memorial performs more than 300 catheter ablations each year.

In addition to catheter ablation for the treatment

of AFib, Sharp Memorial of fers many treatment options to treat irregular heart beats, including:

• Left atrial append age closure devices (Watch man™ and Amulet™)

• Left atrial appendage exclusion procedures

• Maze, mini-maze and hybrid maze procedures

• Implantable cardio verter defibrillator (ICD)

• Pacemakers

• Clinical trials

Sharp has cardiology specialists across San Diego County who are focused on helping patients improve their heart health.

DEAR DR. ROACH: How do I know if I’ve been vaccinated for polio?

ANSWER: The first U.S.-transmitted case of polio in a decade was re ported in Rockland Coun ty, New York, in July 2022.

The person who contracted polio was unvaccinated: They probably contracted the case from a person who was vaccinated outside the U.S., since it was a vac cine-derived polio case.

Occasionally, the weakened strain used for the oral polio vaccine can mutate and cause disease.

The oral polio vaccine has not been used in the U.S. since 2000, but it is still used in other parts of the world.

The vast majority of American and Canadian adults are vaccinated for polio, as it is required for school.

So, most adults do not need vaccination, but it is routine for those traveling to endemic areas to receive a booster. Unfortunately, many children have not gotten their boosters on time due to the pandemic, and parents in the area of the case are recommended to get their kids’ vaccines up-to-date as soon as pos sible.

Anyone exposed to a known case should get guidance from their physi cian, who will probably be in contact with the health department.

Couple visits San Diego on cross-country ‘beer run’

By Jeff Spanier

beer run is a time-honored tradi tion immortalized in films such as Smokey and the Bandit and Strange Brew.

The beer run has elevat ed into brewery tours and pilgrimages to the places where the best beers in the world can be found.

Here in San Diego, beer tourism is a multimil lion-dollar industry. With the number of breweries and taprooms and an aston ishing variety of beer styles, a trip to San Diego gives beer lovers all they could ask for (including beaches and sunshine).

Brad and Tamara Car valho have set out on an epic beer run, and of course, they had San Diego on the itinerary. They travel under the handle Two4Brew and publish their story along the way.

After selling their home in Anchorage, Alaska, the Carvalho's loaded up their RV, hitched up Jupiter (their tow vehicle), and headed out on the road. They aim to travel America, visit amaz ing breweries, and eventual ly find a new home.

We met in Vista to share a little about what North County offers. We enjoyed a Compadre Mexican Lager at Dogleg Brewing and then headed to Eppig Brewing for their Festbier. I had a lot of questions for the couple on a year-long beer run, and they were happy to share their story.

Cheers!: Tell us about this adventure you’re on.

Two4Brew: Our goal is to find a place to live – that’s the end goal. But we wanted

some destination to guide our travels. We love craft beer and national parks, so those destinations have tak en precedence. That’s what we're doing; we are travel ing the country to as many craft breweries as possible.

Cheers!: Where did this passion for craft beer and brewery tours begin?

Two4Brew: That’s our story. We’ve been on a beer journey since we first met.

Cheers!: A love story based on the love of beer?

Two4Brew: Tamara wasn’t a beer drinker when we met. But when we first started dating, we decided to do a thing called “Around

the World in 80 Beers.” We drank beers over 80 days together, and after that, Ta mara loved beer.

Cheers!: You loved all 80 beers?

Two4Brew: Well, proba bly 78 of them.

Cheers!: And your de sire to visit craft breweries?

Two4Brew: (Brad) was in the Air Force and sta tioned in Anchorage, Alas ka, while the craft beer exploded. We traveled all across the state, probably visiting 40 breweries.

Cheers!: And you worked at a brewery for a time?

Two4Beer (Brad): Yes,

it’s part of the Department of Defense program called Skill Bridge. It gives you six months to learn a trade at the end of your military ca reer.

Cheers!: Where did you intern?

Two4Beer: I called Zip Brewing in Anchorage, and he took me in.

Cheers!: Was there a beer you brewed that you are especially proud of?

Two4Beer: Yes, a Chai Imperial Stout that turned out amazing.

Cheers!: What was the route to San Diego?

Two4Beer: We traveled through the Yukon and Brit

ish Columbia. A little extra time in BC because their brewing scene is amazing. From there, we went across Washington, Idaho, Mon tana, and the Dakotas to Brad’s hometown in Tennes see. We knew we wanted to be in San Diego to celebrate our 10th anniversary, so we worked our way across the country to get here.

Cheers!: Happy Anni versary! Where are you stay ing?

Two4Beer: On Coronado Island at the Fiddlers Cove and the Del.

Cheers!: Where have you visited? Any standout beers?

Two4Beer: We’ve been to Dogleg, Eppig, Helia, 5 Suits, Burgeon, Border X, Coronado, Thorn, Novo, Mu jeres Brew House, Alesmith, and Viewpoint. The Cucum ber Lime from Border X and Strawberry Shores from Coronado Brewing were standouts.

Cheers!: How do you navigate the brewery visits, beer tastings, time and safe ty?

Two4Beer: (with a gig gle) We’ve learned to plan our route, use public trans portation and be realistic. Three breweries a day is the max. And we share a flight. Oh, and stick to the budget.

Cheers!: Where are you headed next?

Two4Beer: San Diego was the last planned stop. We have no real plans or map for the next year or so. This is the Beaches and Beer leg of the tour, so we will take our time as we head to ward Spokane, Washington.

Cheers!: And the ulti mate goal?

Two4Beer: To find a new hometown, open up a brewery and maybe even a campground attached to the brewery. After all, beer brings people together, and it makes us happy.

Cheers!: Cheers to that! Follow Two4Brew’s ad venture @two_4_brew on In stagram. To hear the entire interview, check out I Like Beer the Podcast.

From

the title, La Jol la Art+Wine Festi val, it is obvious that both art and wine would be present, but there was much more.

In the heart of down town La Jolla on Girard Ave, festival-goers could also enjoy entertainment, gourmet food, a silent auc tion, and pet adoptions, in addition to over 160 artists from the US and Mexico, along with the Wine and Beer Garden.

Unfortunately, my Wine Bro Frank could not make this one, and I recruit ed my good friend and ten nis partner, Steve Dafnis, to be my wingman for the day.

The art side was high lighted by the work of the Bommarito Brothers, whose mission is to “enhance and bring inspiration to our everyday spaces through unique and exceptional photography.”

On the Wine side of the show, America’s #1 French wine, Louis Jadot, head lined the Wine & Beer Gar den as part of their Straight From The Vine tour across the U.S.

We had the pleasure of meeting US Brand Director Jennifer Fritz, who shared the wines they were pour ing. We started with the 2020 Macon-Villages Char donnay with bright acidity due to the stainless steel fermentation. The char donnay had floral notes (I picked up lilac), green ap ple and pear on the palate.

Next, Fritz poured the 2020 Beaujolais-Villages made with 100% gamay, which is like pinot noir grapes. This was a fruit-for ward wine with strawberry and cherry on the palate and some spice on the fin ish.

The third one was the 2019 Pinot Noir Bourgogne. This was my favorite of the three, seeing nine-months aging in French oak to smooth out the tannins, and it had both plum and cherry on the forward palate with some earthiness, to be ex pected of Old World Pinot, on the back palate.

I appreciated the Louis Jadot wines’ commitment to consistency and quality. They implement a “prac tice called réplis, in which wines of a higher appella tion are incorporated into a wine bearing the appella tion below them.

For example, Jadot’s Beaujolais-Villages will customarily contain a per centage of wines from Beau jolais crus.” This creates great value wines in the $10 to $20 range.

Additionally, Festival goers were able to create their own Louis Jadot wine

label. More info at lovejad ot.com.

One of the most intrigu ing groups I met at the fes tival was La Jolla Winery, headed by President Rob Hixson III.

For those who have al ways dreamed of owning a winery and making wine, La Jolla Winery might be for you. This is a co-op winery created in 2008 that Hixson heads up with Leslea Meyerhoff, Partner and Sommelier.

They typically keep membership to 25 shares and currently have 35 mem bers who work the vines and winemaking about 16 Saturdays per year. They are fortunate to have the as sistance of larger wineries such as Twin Oaks Winery

and now Bernardo Winery.

This is not your Ital ian Nonno’s homegrown basement wine. I was fas cinated with their wines and even more impressed when Hixson shared they won four awards for Best in Show in their category with their 2016 vintage at the San Diego County Fair. To learn more and possibly be come a member, check out lajollawinery.com.

Other notables of the day were Nina Snow of DOCG Imports, which over sees The La Jolla Wine Club specializing in imported Italian wines and hosting wine trips as part of the club. This includes their latest trip to Sardegna, It aly, where Nina and associ ate Petra Belliti created a

memorable experience for guests (docgimports.com).

Tech Geek, now artist and creator of San Diego Craft Wine Barrel Riot wines, ages the wine in barrels previously used for aging spirits such as Tequi la, Rum, and Bourbon. His wines created a unique and flavorful profile - BarrelRi ot.com.

Joey Labes and Brenna Turner, co-founders of Sake High!, are the first to bring it to the U.S. (Venice, CA).

“Sake High! is sourced from Kyoto, Japan,” Labes and Turner both said. “It is handmade, all-natural, glu ten and sulfite free. We are all about love, new cuisines, adventure, and communi ty.” See sakehigh.com.

My last mention is

the band “The Naked I.” These guys were jamming with killer tunes. Between classic, high-energy cover songs and their own origi nal work, they had the beat pumping and the crowd on their feet dancing. Dakota Ringer is the lead singer. More info at dakotaringer. com.

Frank Family, Dry Creek at Vittorio’s

As I entered the large banquet room at Vitto rio’s in the Carmel Valley district of San Diego seat ing well over 100 lovers of Frank Family wines, I couldn’t help but think of the many friendships that have developed at these Vittorio’s events.

Clearly this venue had drawn together wine and food lovers who have bond ed together over the years and had reached out to become regulars on a first name basis, unlike any oth er wine event that I had ever been a part of.

Vittorio’s owner, Victor Magalhaes, likes it this way. It’s kind of a “Cheers” at mosphere where customers trade wine stories, lots of wine is raffled off and the latest host wines are offered at up to 50% off retail.

Frank Family, last week’s host winery, has been a fave of mine forever! It recently was awarded the

2022 Readers Choice Best of Napa Valley Award from Napa Valley Life magazine as the BEST Winery Tasting Room.

The magazine in part said “Frank Family’s icon ic tasting room has been a part of Napa Valley’s land scape for nearly 30 years. Both classic and contem porary, their home for guests embodies the spirit of family, offering a range of intimate, seated experi ences inside their yellow 1930’s craftsman house and throughout the park-like property.”

Before Frank Family, Rich Frank was part of the fast and exciting world of Walt Disney, responsible for the company’s wildly successful entrance into TV documentaries and movies made for TV.

On this special eve ning at Vittorio’s, we were treated to a 2021 Chardon nay, paired with a shrimp and crab combination laced with avocado and chives, a glam 2019 Pinot Noir to wash down a slow roasted salmon with creamy risot to and asparagus, a 2019 Merlot that created the big gest buzz from diners when paired with baked Mostac cioli plus Ricotta and Par migiano-Reggiano cheeses, and finally the Frank Fam ily signature wine, the 2019

Dry Creek Vineyards recap

With a dream to live overseas, David Stare, Founder Dry Creek Vine yards, moved to Germany after completing his Civil Engineering degree at MIT

and MBA at Northwestern.

In Germany, he devel oped a love for wine and after returning to the US in 1969 and going to France for 2 weeks, where he fell in love with French wines, he was destined to pack up the family and head west to California to start his wine career.

Stare excelled in wine making classes at UC Da vis and during a weekend school trip, purchased a 55-acre prune orchard in Dry Creek Sonoma County to fulfill his wine career dream.

With fond memories of Sauvignon Blanc from his time in Loire Valley, France, Stare took a chance planting this varietal de spite specialists advising that Sauvignon Blanc was

not suitable for the region.

He proved the special ists wrong. Stare was later joined by his daughter Kim who originally wanted to work in the fashion indus try.

Together with her hus band Don Wallace, they have taken Dry Creek to the next level, after David’s retirement in 2006, consis tently producing 90+ point wines.

Elise Wright, Wine Warehouse Sales Rep, nar rated the evening walking guests through the cus tomary 5-course dinner. It started with Tuna Carpac cio with the 50th vintage of the 2021 Chenin Blanc with a clean, crisp minerality that completed the carpac cio.

Next up was Grilled

Chicken Roulade with 2021 Sauvignon Blanc, the vari etal that put Dry Creek on the map for a great reason. The floral nose with peach and tropical flavors on the palate matched up with the roulade.

The third course was Manicotti with Lamb Ragu commanding a red, the 2019 Zinfandel. The com plexity of the 100-year-old Zin vines complemented the rich ragu.

The main course was a heavenly Grilled Veni son chop garnished with a blackberry sauce. The 2019 Mariner Bordeaux Blend paired perfectly with the chop and reduction. Great dinner Victor, Vittorio’s Team, and Elise. More at drycreekvineyard.com.

A few years ago, this plot was slated for redevel opment, but the plan was nixed after enough com munity members spoke up.

Iwasn’t

going to Crack heads this morning. I was going somewhere else in the neighbor hood — a place with a big a-frame sign out front that says “COFFEE!” every day.

When I arrived, they were closed…in the morn ing…when people drink coffee. How can you be a coffee shop that doesn’t open until after a good chunk of the population is headed to work in the morning?

Enter Crackheads. I could see their coffee win dow was open as I walked down the street.*

It is cut into the side of a metal shipping container or made to look so. On the corner of State Street and Carlsbad Village Drive, they are in the heart of the Village.**

To get to the coffee window, I walked down the faux lawn that splits picnic tables from tall two-top tables that protrude from the white fence separating them from the juicery.

The seating area is en tirely open-air. To the ocean side of the window, there is a round fireplace with seating wrapped around it. I was sad it wasn’t lit yet, despite the low-60s chill of the morning and an excess of condensation covering every available surface. Winter is coming.

I ordered my standard drip coffee. The bag said Crackheads The Morning Blend, but they don’t roast their coffee.

The barista said it used to be Verve Coffee, a wellknown white-label coffee roaster, but she couldn’t say that was still the case.

Verve has locations in San ta Cruz, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Palo Alto, and four more locations in Ja pan.

The service was quite pleasant. I’m always im pressed by the positivity of baristas who are mostly en gaged with customers who haven’t drunk their morn ing coffee and are still on the wrong side of function al. We chatted about my lack of affection for the Halloween holiday.

Fifteen-plus Hallow eens working as a bar tender serving partiers in masks will dampen the appeal. I noticed how effi cient the cafe space was.

Just enough room for an espresso machine, cof fee brewer, and some take away cups.

I took my coffee over to the fire pit to sit for a moment. The sun shining across the patio reflected the wet table tops illumi nating my mug. I could hear birds chirping and watch ing the steam of the cof fee. The morning seemed to transition from cold to crisp. Coffee makes every thing better.

While I sat — hopeful someone would arrive with a dog I could pet — I sipped and considered.

In all things coffee, I try to be truthful. So here goes. I’ve never gotten cof fee from Crackheads de spite its convenient proxim

ity to my home.

In fact, if it weren’t for this Bean Journal column, I may never have stopped.

For my personal coffee drinking, I love supporting local roasters. I stand by that, but I think the bigger reason I’ve never been here is that I didn’t really consid er that they might serve an enjoyable cup of coffee.

Coffee isn’t their only focus. They serve cocktails, brunch, and breakfast all day. I assumed a truckstop diner quality of coffee, which has its place, but not in my cup when I am so close to so many great local roasters.

That assumption seeped into my behavior long enough that I never thought of this place when walking out of my apart ment into the marine layer

fog in search of coffee.

I didn’t account for the experience of the visit or that my assumption could be wrong! I know. I was sur prised too.

As I sat and sipped by the fire pit leaning back against my chair and feel ing the warmth of the morn ing sun on my face, I drank my drip coffee, which was quite good. I could taste the citrus, caramel, and even some milk chocolate notes.

I could imagine bring ing my father here for cof fee that we’d both enjoy and a place where we could sit outside and bullshit and ar gue and complain about the pop music.

We could laugh togeth er, and if we stayed long enough, we could order a cocktail and breakfast too.

Oregon’s High Desert museums

The tradition races on.

It’s

a glorious October day as I drive north from Bend, Oregon, to the Warm Springs Res ervation in the state’s High Desert.

The flat landscape and straight road change dramatically as I get clos er. Suddenly I’m weav ing through canyon walls as the road parallels the Warm Springs River. Just as suddenly, Mount Jeffer son, a 10,495-foot peak in the Cascade Range appears at 11 o’clock. This panora ma begs for a photo, but I’m doing the driving, so I have to leave it at that.

Native American art ist and weaver Kelli Palm er meets me at the door of the 25,000-square-foot Museum at Warm Springs. Opened in 1993, the muse um is a repository of histo ry, art and culture of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs — the Was co, Warm Springs and Pai ute.

(An 1855 federal trea ty took 10 million acres in Central Oregon from the Wasco and Warm Springs tribes. They and the Paiute now live on 640,000 acres on this eastern slope of the Cascades.)

Palmer leads me through the semi-circular museum — a visual jour ney through the tribes’ histories, artifacts, exhib its of masterful beadwork and weaving, and a photo exhibit documenting “the proud spirit and identity of American Indian powwow dancers throughout the United States and Canada.”

We arrive at a mural of a photo taken in the 1920s of a reservation road-repair crew. Palmer points out her maternal grandfather, then about 5 years old and in overalls, the son of a Japa

nese immigrant.

“(My mother told me) that the kids had to go with their dad to work because there were no babysitters,” Palmer says.

On another day, I’m driving in the opposite di rection.

A few minutes south of Downtown Bend is the High Desert Museum, celebrat ing its 40th anniversary. Today, a unique mix of en vironmental and history ex hibits, trails, 150 animals, outdoor sculptures and avant-garde art acquaints visitors with Central Ore gon.

“We tell the story of this region through history, art, cultures and nature,” says Director of Communi cations Heidi Hagemeier. “The museum is engaging on so many levels for all generations.”

As we walk the grounds, we see adults of all ages and children wan dering the 135 acres to explore a 1904 High Des ert ranch that features a house, chicken coop, root cellar, barn, sawmill and woodworking shop. At times, there are docents in period dress telling stories and engaging in activities of the era.

“They are fun to talk to because they remain in character,” Hagemeier

says.

There also are inter pretive trails where birds of prey, reptiles, fish, mam mals, otters and other High Desert animals reside; a life-sized mare and foal sculpture caught in a ten der moment but fashioned from sturdy barbed wire; and the gallery featuring “Lair: Light and the Art of Stephen Hendee.”

The installation is constructed of corrugated plastic sheets, black tape and 9,000 sequentially pro gramed LED lights. Hendee says that the work explores the High Desert’s environ mental issues, changing cli mate and forest conditions, and the threat of wildfire.

“This is a contempo rary, immersive exercise,” says art and experience de veloper Dustin Cockerham, who worked with Hendee for two weeks to create the colorful, ever-changing ex hibit. “You don’t very often see a museum that has both animals and art.”

How to go: Nonstop flights on Alaska Airlines to the Bend/Redmond air port are available from San Diego, Burbank and Palm Springs.

Boycott of Kanye West holds a lesson for every business

After he threatened to “Go death con 3 on JEW ISH PEOPLE,” West’s 31.5 million followers suddenly found him booted off Twit ter and Instagram.

TheFirst Amend ment gives Kanye West the right to say whatever he wishes.

The Black rapper can wear his “White Lives Matter” T-shirt all he likes while making antisemitic and rac ist comments.

However, there should be financial consequences for such activities.

Adidas ended its longterm partnership with him, calling his recent comments “unacceptable, hateful and dangerous.” To them, it’s worth $246 million in lost sales to avoid further rela tions with him.

The Gap is winding down its two-year affiliation with West. So is Balenciaga.

And did I mention that his agent, Creative Artists Agency (CAA), fired him as a client?

West felt he could do

whatever he wants without blowback. However, his cor porate sponsors quickly rec ognized the negative impact his hate speech could have

on their respective brands.

Here’s the thing: De spite his comments that Cancel Culture is trying to shut him down, nobody is stopping him from saying whatever he wants.

However, Adidas isn’t obliged to support and nor malize his hate speech. The company recognizes that no consumer is obligated to buy its sneakers, and it’s going to lose lots of business by continuing its relation ship with a hatemonger.

Boycotting or support ing companies based on their political positions is hardly new. Disney was boy cotted after the company opposed “Don’t Say Gay”

legislation. Hundreds of companies were called out for not exiting Russia after the Ukraine invasion.

Nestle’s. McDonald’s. Welch’s. Levi’s. Chick-fil-A. The list of companies that consumers have protested over the years is endless.

And, given America’s dysfunctional political scene, angry calls for boy cotts can be expected to in crease exponentially.

There’s a lesson here for every business. You’re entitled to your personal or corporate opinion, but recognize that many people will reflexively reject your position and stop buying whatever you’re selling.

Plus, if you use celeb rity endorsements to hawk your wares, their addic tions, behaviors and politi cal positions can be expect ed to reflect on you.

To help determine if you (and your bottom line) are OK with these reflec tions, do some in-depth vet ting before you ally your business with someone fa mous.

Because fame may not bring wisdom or class, but it can bring notoriety.With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

phasized his belief that the district’s leadership has ush ered in an era of excellence for the district.

“My goals when I was first elected were to bring stability to the district at a time of turmoil, providing mutual respect, trust and leadership principles that focus on what is best for children. I commit to that again today,” Wooden said. “The Del Mar Union School District is one of the best elementary districts in the state, due to the board. This board works, and it has since I joined it. Let’s keep it mov ing forward.”

The forum also fostered

discussions about gather ing teacher input and ad dressing fears of retaliation among staff members who speak up about issues in the district.

Several board meetings in the spring were dominat ed by teachers and other staff calling for greater re spect from district officials, leading to board members and Superintendent Holly McClurg committing to in cluding more staff feedback in the district’s development of its strategic plan.

Peck, speaking from her 25 years of experience as a Del Mar Union fifthgrade teacher and music teacher, said there needs to be more opportunities for staff to provide anonymous

feedback that will be used to shape decisions.

“In the past, our sur veys have not felt very anon ymous,” Peck said. “We need to include our teach ers in all those ground-level decisions, not just when the decisions have been made, because our teachers are an incredible resource with their expertise and their ex perience.”

Porter noted that he has experience working as a special education teacher in Del Mar Union and as a teacher and administrator in the Vista Unified School District and has experience working on teacher contract negotiations.

“I want to work on trust, respect and true col

laboration, especially with teachers, because currently, I don’t believe they feel that they are being heard right now, and that troubles me,” he said.

Along with addressing teacher concerns, candi dates discussed how special education is run in the dis trict and the need for im provement.

Parents, including Roy bal and Sheikhani, as well as special education advocates, have spoken up throughout the past year about the dis trict’s lack of services for students with individual ized education plans and the leadership’s combative na ture when it comes to work ing with special education parents.

“We escalated concerns all the way up to Tony Thur mond … superintendent of all of California schools, and in some instances, we were turned away or redirect ed and told, ‘It’s the school board that’s in charge of taking care of your concern.’ Well, what do you do when you can’t make a change on the school board? You run, and that’s why I’m running,” said Roybal, who also has a background in finance.

A survey among staff working in special education shared with district leader ship by the teacher’s union earlier this year claimed that staff face high-stress levels and are asked by de partment leadership to com plete unethical practices.

Among the three incum bents, only Fitzpatrick said she believed there should be improvements to the dis trict’s special education pro gram, adding that she would like to implement a commit tee focused on this topic.

Wooden claimed the survey among special edu cation staff was “not a very good one” due to the ques tions being centered on hearsay and said all the is sues raised by special educa tion staff had been resolved.

Assistant Superinten dent of Human Resources Ryan Stanley confirmed in October that he had com pleted an investigation into the allegations in the survey and that the concerns had been addressed, but offered no further details.

met Jay Adams at Swami’s in the early 1980s. He was young, stoked and surprising ly friendly, considering his notoriety. As I recall there wasn’t much swell that day, but Adams, nonetheless, stood out against that tal ented crowd.

While mostly known for his skateboarding, es pecially in pools, which he helped pioneer, Jay was an exceptional surfer, espe cially in hard grinding 6- to 8-foot barrels. That’s when he came alive. His surfing was basic, and far less com plicated than his life could be out of the water.

On the right wave, he would lay down a hard and stylish bottom turn, pull in, get barreled, drive to the shoulder, and lean his nuggety little body into a deep cutback.

Although he was 53 years old and considered past his prime, reports are that he was surfing with his fifth-gear, pedal-to-themetal style the day before he died in August 2014 while on an extended surf trip with his wife, Tracy, to Puerto Escondido, aka the Mexican Pipeline.

Having seen still pho tos of Jay tube traveling, a day or so before he passed, I am hard pressed to find another shot of a surfer, any surfer, in their mid-50s riding so hard, or so well.

While Jay accom plished a lot in his life, especially in the surf and skateboarding world, he also had some critical fail ures. He was deeply sorry for them and realized they all had their roots in drugs and alcohol.

By age 21, Jay had spent six months in prison after he started a fight with a man who was eventually beaten to death by another assailant. After that, there

Jay’s drug choice moved from beer and weed to heroin, a substance he became so addicted to that, according to him, “I used toilet water, gutter water to shoot up. I shared needles with a couple that were HIV positive, and I didn’t care. I honestly didn’t care if I lived or died.”

By the early 2000s, Jay was living a clean and sober life, surfing and skat ing whenever possible. We had connected again and soon became close friends.

While never an ego maniac, one thing he loved doing was driving with me down the streets of Cardiff until we saw some kids skateboarding. Ev ery skate rat had seen the documentary “Dogtown & Z-Boys” and the subse quent feature film, both based in part on Jay’s life, “Lords of Dogtown.”

After I pulled over, Jay would ask a kid if he could use his skateboard. Inevitably, the young skat ers would whisper among themselves, before loaning Jay a board, their mouths agape as their hero rolled out some perfectly execut ed old-school tricks.

Sober or not, the past still catches up with us, and Jay was arrested for a drug deal, years after the whole thing went south. Al though he played a small part in the deal, he was sentenced to two years in prison.

Among my saddest memories are visiting Jay in the Santa Ana Jail be fore he was transferred to a state prison. Upon his re lease, he began surfing and skating again. What the years held against him, his clean and sober spirt more than made up for.

“My father developed type 2 diabetes in his late 30’s and died at age 51 of a stroke shortly after I fin ished medical school,” said Chris K. Guerin MD, FACE, FNLA, a board-certified endocrinologist at Tri-City Medical Center. “I knew then that I would devote my professional career to help ing people with diabetes avoid complications and pre mature death. Most people don’t realize it, but people with diabetes are markedly at risk of strokes, heart at tacks and premature kidney failure.”

Although type 2 diabe tes mellitus (T2DM) tends to run in families, lifestyle and environmental factors can also play a role. “It’s like the analogy, genetics loads the gun, but the environment pulls the trigger,” said Dr. Guerin who has been with Tri-City for almost 40 years. “There is nothing patients can do about their genetics, but they can control their di abetes and other associated risk factors to prevent these devastating health condi tions.”

To stay in control, pa tients should start by learn ing as much as they can about T2DM, a condition in which cells don’t respond the way they should to the insu lin produced in the pancreas. Insulin allows blood glucose, derived from the foods we eat, to enter the cells where it is converted to energy.

When it cannot get in, it builds up in the bloodstream causing the pancreas to go into overdrive and eventu ally, it cannot make enough insulin to keep up. Credible sources, such as the Amer ican Diabetes Association, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, Medline Plus and the Centers for Dis ease Control and Prevention offer a wealth of accurate and up-to-date information about this insulin resistance disease.

“Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation about T2DM, such as it can be managed without medica tion or it’s only about glucose control,” added Dr. Guerin. “By the time diabetes is di agnosed, patients have al ready lost more than 50% of

their beta cell function (the cells in the pancreas that make insulin) and require medications or insulin. Pa tients must also keep their LDL-cholesterol levels in check.”

Oral medications are crucial to help patients, who

refined grain products such as white rice or flour, and foods containing added sug ars or artificial sweeteners or added fat or oils. Work ing with a TCMC registered dietician can be helpful in planning diabetic-friendly meals.”

American Indian or Alaska Native, non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic Asian people are more likely to be diagnosed with diabe tes than non-Hispanic White people.

“Cultural biases have developed, which is increas ing the prevalence of T2DM,” added Dr. Guerin. “For ex ample, in some cultures, de nial is so strong that proper treatment is delayed much too long and complications have already developed. The patients’ friends and fami ly members then think that complications are inevitable, and they give up. We need to change this misperception, as early treatment has been shown to markedly decrease the risks of complications.”

This report also found that during the pandemic, diabetes emerged as an un derlying condition that in creased the chance of severe illness.

Nearly four in 10 adults who died from COVID-19 in the US also had diabe tes. Other studies have also shown that COVID-19 can increase a person’s risk of developing diabetes, up to 12 months after infection, com pared to those who never had the disease.

“These findings are be ginning to show a correla tion between COVID-19 and diabetes,” said Dr. Guerin.

can still produce their own insulin, achieve optimal blood glucose levels. Differ ent types of medications, including metformin, sulfo nylureas, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors and others may need to be taken in combi nation over time. Some pa tients may require insulin in jections if their bodies don’t make or use enough of it on their own.

“Lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, healthy eat ing and physical activity are the cornerstone of all of our therapies;” said Dr. Guer in. “I am passionate about a whole food, plant-based diet that includes non- or mini mally-processed foods, like whole grains, fruits, vegeta bles and legumes. I encour age patients to avoid highly

As part of its COASTAL Commitment partnership with the Move Your Feet Be fore You Eat®! Foundation, TCMC encourages North County residents to incor porate regular physical fit ness into their daily lives to address prevalent chronic conditions such as cardiovas cular disease, diabetes and obesity.

“I feel people are de veloping T2DM at an alarm ing rate, especially young people,” added Dr. Guerin. “When I first started practic ing, I would only see a hand ful of women each year with gestational diabetes – now I see one to two women per week.”

A 2022 CDC report indi cates that 37.3 million peo ple in the US have diabetes

“There is still much research that needs to be done to de termine what may be caus ing an increase in diabetes in COVID-19 long haulers. For now, proper medication management, glucose moni toring, lifestyle changes and vaccinations are critical for anyone living with T2DM, as are maintaining regular visits with your primary care physician or endocrinolo gist.”

Now’s the time to garden for the holiday season

jano’s garden

jano nightingale

Iwatcha lot of cooking shows. In October, two of my favorite cooking divas, Ina Garten and Martha Stewart, suggested that we should be thinking about Thanksgiving. Ahead of time.

But to me that doesn’t means thinking about tur key, but about the vegeta bles!

So I have consulted the experts about what to plant, right now, so that I serve up some of my favorite vegeta bles for the holidays.

According to the ex perts at D. Landreth Seed Company:

“Some vegetables ac tually do better with a fall seeding. Cold weather, with certain varieties, enhances the sweetness of the fruits and vegetable.

“The most important concept to recognize is that in the spring, days are getting longer, whereas in the fall each day is getting shorter and daily tempera tures are getting cooler.”

Get out there and prac tice! We can’t possibly get it right the first time and need to allow ourselves

SHOP LOCALLY FOR FALL SEEDS

Since North County has a growing climate that is perfect for fall vegetable planting, it is a good idea to purchase seed that is acclimated to our climate.

According to Brijette Peña, owner and creator of the San Diego Seed company:

“Local seeds play a critical role in expanding sustainable agriculture. By producing local seeds of food crops that adapt to lo cal growing conditions, we perpetuate sustainable and regenerative agriculture goals. How? These crops are more resistant to local plant diseases and pests. They are also better adapted to the environmental condi tions and soil structure in that specific area.

“For growers in South ern California facing drought conditions and changing weather patterns, this is more important than ever. The seeds that we grow in Southern Cal ifornia and the American Southwest should be adapt ed to our region’s unique climate conditions.”

Brijette and her staff produce over 100 varieties of vegetable, flower and herb seeds on their farm in Ramona, and detailed in structions, videos and cata

The website also in cludes a planting calendar that explains when to plant specific crops.

The company’s seeds are also available at local food and garden shops such as Jimbo’s, Andersons La Costa Nursery and many more shops featured in the map on their website.

EIGHT SEEDS TO PLANT NOW

According to Brijette, “The eight crops to plant now include spinach, Rus sian kale, leafy greens, snap peas, carrots, onions, cilantro and chives.”

All of these crops in a multitude of varieties are listed on the San Diego Seed Company website.

will find many of the green crops ready to harvest by the end of November. Your guests will be amazed that their Thanksgiving salads came from your garden!

At the Pine Street Community Garden in Carlsbad, members of our Senior Garden Club have been amazed at the speed with which our romaine let tuce, mesclun and bok choy have grown over the past few weeks.

We have also found that succession planting will extend the growth of our crops.

All of the leafy greens and peas will be replanted every two weeks to extend the season. Many of the greens, such as mesclun and bok choy and consid ered “cut-and-come again” varieties, so the more you can harvest them, the more they regrow.

One of the local Pine Street Gardeners, Shane Dean, who is part of a land scaping gardening fami ly, has been planting his root crops such as carrots and beets that “might just sit in the ground for a few months, and then be ready to harvest over the winter months.”

He also started his on ions, scallions and chives earlier last summer in a

greenhouse, so they are ready to pop in the ground in November.

His work has been highly recognized, and he is now the head gardener at the Golden Door Resort in San Marcos.

Some of his crops are available at the Gold en Door Country Store at 314 Deer Springs Road in San Marcos, open Tuesday through Sunday. For more information, call (760) 3107573 or visit goldendoor. com.

IT’S TIME TO “FALL BACK” & PLAN

On Sunday, November 6th, we come to the end of Daylight Saving Time. Setting our clocks back gives us an extra hour in the day and it's a good time to do a run through on your seasonal home preparedness checklist!

• Change your clocks AND change the batteries in your smoke detectors and your carbon monoxide detectors both can help save lives!

• Prepare for cold and flu season. Cold weather is coming and so are colds and the flu. Have you gotten your flu shot? Check your medicine cabinet Has the thermometer gone missing? Do you have sufficient fever reducers, cough syrup, and decongestants needed to fight colds or flu?

• Review your family's emergency plan, or create one for the first time. Update phone numbers, addresses and contact information, and post your Emergency Information Page on the refrigerator. Crisp temperatures and crunchy leaves are on their way. The staff at Allen Brothers wish you a safe and colorful fall!

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel compelled to get involved on the “right side” of a seemingly unfair fight, but appearances can be deceptive. Get the facts before going forth into the fray.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bullying others into agreeing with your position could cause resentment. Instead, persuade them to join you by making your case on a logical pointby-point basis.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Resist pushing for a workplace decision you might feel is long overdue. Your impa tience could backfire. Meanwhile, focus on that still-unsettled personal situation.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your aspects favor doing something differ ent. You might decide to redecorate your home, take a trip somewhere you’ve never been, or even change your hairstyle.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You might want to take a break from your busy schedule to restore your energy levels. Use this less-hectic time to also reassess your plans and make needed changes.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) What you like to think of as deter mination might be seen by others as nothing more than stubbornness. Try to be more flexible if you hope to get things resolved.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Watch that you don’t unwittingly reveal work-related information to the wrong person. It’s best to say nothing until you get official clearance to open up.

SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem ber 21) With things settling down at work or at home, you can now take on a new challenge without fear of dis traction. Be open to helpful sugges tions from colleagues.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your creativity can help resolve an emotional situation that might otherwise get out of hand. Continue to be your usual caring and sensitive self.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You could impress a lot of influential people with the way you untangle a few knotty problems. Meanwhile, a colleague is set to share some welcome news.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru ary 18) Aspects favor recharging your social life and meeting new people. It’s also a good time to renew friend ships that might be stagnating due to neglect on both sides.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Congratulations. Your talent for work ing out a highly technical problem earns you well-deserved praise. The weekend could bring news about a friend or relative. BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of justice makes you a strong advo cate for the rights of people and ani mals alike.
