DEL MAR — The for mer proposed site of the Marisol resort is now being eyed for a massive residen tial project that would bring 259 rental housing units to the city’s north bluff.

City officials received an application earlier this month for the proposed

Seaside Ridge development on the 7-acre property at 929 Border Ave, which San Diego philanthropist Carol Lazier purchased in 2001.

The application propos es a nine-building develop ment just north of Del Mar Dog Beach, with 85 units designated as affordable, including 42 for low- to ex tremely low-income house holds.

The development would be the largest apart ment project in San Diego County’s smallest city if ap proved.

The site along the frag ile bluff has been a battle ground regarding devel opments, with most of the community showing resis tance to past project pro posals.

In 2020, voters rejected the Marisol development proposed at the site. This luxury resort would have brought 65 hotel rooms, 31 villas, 22 affordable hous ing units, a spa and dining options to the bluff.

Encinitas adopts mayor’s resolution despite resistance

By Stephen Wyer

ENCINITAS — Three weeks before the November general election, city lead ers unanimously endorsed Proposition 1, which seeks to codify a woman’s right to reproductive freedom — in cluding abortion — into the California Constitution.

The Encinitas City Council voted 5-0 last Wednesday in favor of a res olution sponsored by May or Catherine Blakespear to voice the city’s support for Proposition 1, despite a majority of public speakers and written comments op posed to the resolution.

“Whereas, the City of Encinitas will continue to uphold the right to privacy, self-determination and lib erty by protecting reproduc tive freedoms and access to health services, welcoming anyone to Encinitas to exer cise their full reproductive rights; and now, therefore, be it resolved that the City Council of the City of En cinitas hereby pledges sup port for Proposition 1 and urges Encinitas voters to vote Yes on Proposition 1 in the November 8, 2022 elec tion,” the resolution reads in part.

Elected officials hailed their decision as sending a strong message to the com munity regarding the city’s

North County cities celebrate Día de los Muertos

By Laura Place

REGION — Cities

throughout North San Di ego County are celebrating Día de los Muertos through out the end of October and early November with com munity events offering tra ditional food, dance and chances to honor loved ones who have passed on.

Originating in Mexico, Día de los Muertos is tra ditionally celebrated Nov. 1-2 and allows families the chance to celebrate and honor their deceased loved ones.

In the city of Solana Beach, an annual Día de los Muertos celebration at La Colonia Park on Oct. 23 drew residents from the historic La Colonia de Eden Gardens community as well as neighboring cities of En cinitas, Oceanside and be yond.

This year’s event was focused specifically on the ancestors who worked in the agricultural fields of Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Encinitas and other sur rounding areas when La Co lonia was founded.

“It means a lot because this community originated in the 1920s, and a lot of the families came togeth er during that time,” said event emcee Brittney Rojos Canales. “We want to keep our history and community going.”

Along with enjoying live music and kids’ activi ties, families erected elab orate ofrendas, or altars, many honoring former La Colonia residents, along the steps of the park as well as in the trunks of classic cars.

Every year for the past several years, Donna Orte ga and her brother Benny Barajas have set up an of renda in the back of Ortega’s 1957 Chevy Bel Air in honor of their mother, Margarita Barajas.

“There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for her,” Ortega said. “Our roots go back to La Colonia — our abuelo and abuelas, tíos and tías used to live here. I spent many child hood summers here. That’s why I feel like we belong here.”

Further north, Friends of Oceanside Día de los Muertos had its 21st annu al celebration in downtown Oceanside. There, dozens of individuals also set up ofren das in the trunks of classic cars during the Por Siempre Car Show.

Families were also able to create a tribute to a loved one in the chalk graveyard, and enjoy music. Entertain ment included traditional carnival parades and dances such as Comparsa, Danza de los Diablos and Danza de los

Rubios.

Additional cities have planned Día de los Muertos events for the coming week.

ENCINITAS

The Encinitas Día de los Muertos celebration will take place Oct. 29 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Encinitas Community Center, located at 1140 Oakcrest Park Dr. The family-friendly event will include performances by Ballet Folklórico de San

INTERNS

SDUHSD vs. free speech rights

By Leila Currah

Amidst

ongoing con troversy in the San Dieguito Union

High School Dis trict, at a board meeting on Oct. 13, Board Trustee Katrina Young proposed a hate speech resolution that sought to dampen First Amendment rights.

The proposed resolu tion explicitly encouraged Board Trustees to denounce “hate speech” during public board meetings in an effort to shame parents and citi zens who express viewpoints that she finds offensive.

The school district re ceived letters from lawyers outlining the reasons why the resolution is unconsti tutional, and anyone who understands the US Consti tution can see that the reso lution undermines the First Amendment.

Constitutional scholars agree that rigorous public discourse depends on the free exchange of ideas, re gardless of how disagree able one may find them.

Yet even after both le

gal analysis and illumina tion by members of the pub lic about the grave dangers of attempting to regulate speech, Young and Trust ee Julie Bronstein chose to vote in favor of the resolu tion. The resolution failed to pass with a 2-2 vote when Mo Muir and Michael All man voted against it.

The sweeping and sub jective definition of “hate speech” is one of the resolu tion’s many problems.

It defines hate speech as “any kind of communi cation in speech, writing or behavior that attacks... a person... on the basis of who they are,” a definition so broad that it would serve to silence dissenting remarks and criticisms, as well as putting an end to dialogue that is in any way seen as politically incorrect, argu mentative, or conflicted.

Trustee Young goes so far as to say that “conten tious rhetoric by non-ex tremist individuals” is also something to be wary of. That can easily be inter preted to mean that normal

people with normal dis agreements are no longer welcome to express them selves.

She further threat ens to issue district-wide communications to shame people by labeling such re marks as “hate speech.”

This hate speech res olution is nothing short of authoritarian, and if passed would diminish the free exchange of ideas. The Supreme Court has ruled time and again that “hate speech” is protected speech, with only narrow excep tions such as incitement of violence. No school district can or should be engaged in challenging settled law.

SDUHSD Board Trust ees are morally, ethically, and legally bound to defend our constitutional rights, which apply in the public boardroom as earnestly as they do in every sector of public life.

Facts about the Boo Bash controversy

To the Editor:

As the election ap proaches, EUSD parents urgently need to hear the truth behind controversial and misleading headlines that made national news last week.

The real story is simple.

EUSD is not hosting, planning, promoting or in any way affiliated with Boo Bash.

Important facts:

any Boo Bash advertising.

• The school board does not exercise approval over flyers emailed by PeachJar.

Activists (including non-EUSD parents) staged a hostile takeover at a re cent school board meeting. They used the public forum to make outrageous and false allegations against school board members.

But for those who pre fer to incorrectly equate drag with porn, who re fuse to learn the actual definition of drag perfor mance, who choose to live in fear and ignorance of our LGBTQ+ neighbors, I hope that we can still agree that the truth matters.

MostCalifornians have long been restless and mobile; many of us or our parents came from someplace else. So it’s no surprise when sur veys show almost half the folks living here have at least thought about moving somewhere else.

The most popular des tination for those who do leave is Texas, where about 35,000 former Californians have gone in each of the last five years.

This has not seriously dented California’s 39.5 million population, as most emigrants were quickly replaced by new arrivals from around the world and nation.

But there is now am ple reason to believe the transplanted Californians did not land in the nirvana many expected to find, a place of much lower taxes, cheap real estate and little government regulation.

For many, one of their first Texas experiences came in mid-February 2021, when a blizzard and deep-freeze struck the Lone Star state, dropping outdoor temperatures near zero and indoor levels into the 30s or lower as electric ity failed.

Icy temperatures froze water pipes, many laid near the land’s surface be cause Texas building codes are lax. Several hospitals saw their water polluted, forcing mass patient trans fers in extreme weather.

All this barely three years after Hurricane Harvey reduced much of Houston, the nation’s fourth-largest city, to a bunch of rivulets and ponds.

For sure, there is little zoning and building reg ulation in much of Texas, where the state’s ideal of light government control often lets junk yards, strip joints and body shops ex ist beside single-family homes.

But it’s something else to see Houston reduced to non-functionality twice in 40 months.

california focus tom elias

Proposition 13, which bas es property taxes on 1% of the latest sales price for the vast majority of properties. The comparison is based on federal income taxes, plus state and local sales taxes, property tax and in formation from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Census.

These figures debunk the notion of Texas as a low-tax state. It turns out Texans in the lowest 20% of income earners (less than $20,900 per year) pay about 13% of their income in state and local taxes.

Californians in the bottom 20% (under $23,200 year ly) pay 10.5% of their in come in such taxes.

Similar proportions apply to middle and up per-middle class taxpayers in both states, with Texans paying more than Cali fornians unless they are in the top 1% of earners ($714,000 or more in Cali fornia).

In Texas, the one-per centers pay 3.1% of their income in state and lo cal taxes, compared with 12.4% in California.

All of which destroys yet another popular con cept about Texas, as Cali fornia imports to that state discover soon after arriv ing.

Sure, some companies and billionaires get big tax breaks from Texas state and local governments as incentives to move there. But that still leaves newly arrived women subject to the cruelties and potential criminal charges imposed on some of the pregnant by the blanket abortion ban.

letters to letters@coastnewsgroup.com

• A Boo Bash ad came to EUSD parents via email from a third-party market ing company called Peach Jar.

• PeachJar emails about a dozen ads a week to EUSD parents. The ads are all marked “Distribution of this flyer does not imply en dorsement by EUSD.”

• Parents have a choice to opt in to receive Peach Jar emails, and the choice to opt out any time.

• Children do not re ceive PeachJar emails and were not the recipients of

Videos of their liefilled speeches went viral on social media, local news, and even went national on Tucker Carlson and the New York Post, to name a few.

They also altered the Boo Bash flyer to make it falsely appear that the event was hosted by school officials on school grounds.

Many of us parents are not offended by the notion of a Halloween party in Hill crest with a family-friendly Disney villain themed drag show. We are alarmed and saddened by the harm this false story has afflicted on our LGBTQ+ community.

Spreading lies during election season is against democracy, against our community, and ultimately against our children.

There is definitely no such thing as family-friend ly fascism. Be careful where you get your news.

EUSD/SDUHSD Parents: Joanie Mendenhall-Lefkow its, Brad Lefkowits, Talitha Matlin, Farhad Mahmoudi, Brittney Chase, Anna Trave sa, Susan Grant Legacki, Lei lani Johnson, Eric Johnson, Kristen Medina, Todd Gill, Emily Gill, Liza Suh M.D., Jody White, James White, Tiffany Rogers, Chris Rogers and many more

It also turns out “light government control” is a mere legend. It may apply to zoning and guns, which anyone can carry con cealed, but no longer to some vital personal choic es.

All abortions, even for pregnancies involving rape and incest, are now criminal. If a fetus has fa tal disorders, it cannot be aborted. And never mind the mother’s health or sur vival.

Now comes a new re port from the Washington, D.C.-based Institute of Tax ation and Economic Policy, which concluded that only the wealthiest Texans ac tually pay lower taxes than Californians.

That is at least in part because of this state’s

It’s much the same in other states that have been popular with California emigres. For example, Ida ho, Arizona and Tennessee all have abortion bans sim ilar to the Texas law.

Tweeted Robert Gar cia, Long Beach mayor and current Democratic candidate for a California congressional seat, upon learning the Texas tax numbers: “Hey, Texans, come over to California to pay lower taxes. And we have great weather.”

As those numbers ap peared, so did billboards in San Francisco and Los An geles bearing the message “Don’t Move to Texas” and “The Texas Miracle Died in Uvalde,” referring to the mass shooting there.

No one knows who put up those billboards, but they just may be offering sound advice.

Top skate talent returns to Encinitas for Exposure 2022

By Laura Place ENCINITAS — For

many, the annual Expo sure skateboarding event is about more than just skating— it’s a celebration of community, growth and belonging.

The community ties were stronger than ever last weekend as the 11th annual Exposure returned in person to the Encinitas Skate Plaza from its twoyear virtual hiatus due to COVID-19. Over 150 com petitors of all ages repre senting 18 different coun tries showed off their skills in the street, bowl and vert divisions.

The three-day compe tition is the flagship event for the nonprofit, which seeks to empower female, transgender and nonbinary youth through skateboard ing opportunities as well as raise funds for survivors of domestic violence.

“We love being back in Encinitas; this is just the best venue,” said Exposure co-founder Amelia Brodka, who also emceed the event.

“We’ve tried to move this event to other places, but there’s no other place like Encinitas that brings the community together. The best thing is seeing the event grow.”

While Exposure of fers a cash prize purse of $60,000 and features some of the world’s best youth skaters — some of whom, like Encinitas skateboard ing icon Bryce Wettstein, represented Team USA in the 2020 Olympics — the main point of the event is to have fun and try new

skills in an encouraging environment.

“That’s what skate

boarding is about, trying to do something that you couldn’t do yesterday. I

think overall the communi ty just wants to see one an other succeed. Yes, there is a competition, but the real competition is within your self,” Brodka said.

Encinitas hometown hero Wettstein has been involved with Exposure for around a decade, and said it’s hard to find the words to describe what the event and the organization mean to her. She called that spe cial mix of feelings “Expo etry.”

“Being out here at Ex posure, I feel kind of like everybody is family,” she said. “Exposure is that example of Expoetry, a re distribution of feelings for me. It’s like a peanut but ter and jelly sandwich of feelings.”

This year’s Exposure drew tons of other interna tional top talent — Japan’s Junto Matsuoka, 11, got the highest air in the vert fron tside air competition; Yu juan Li, 19, of China placed third in the open-pro vert finals; and Kihana Ogawa, 21, of Japan brought the

highest backside air and took first place in the bowl open-pro finals.

For many, like Aaliyah Wilson of Victoria, Austra lia, it was their first time participating in an Expo sure event. Despite suffer

Carlsbad unveils new La Costa fire station

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD – Nearly six years to the day after voters approved a ballot measure for a new fire house, the city unveiled its latest gem — a new Fire Station No. 2 on El Camino Real and Arenal Road in La Costa.

Carlsbad Fire Chief Mike Calderwood and the City Council held a press conference and tours on Oct. 20 at the $14 million station house.

Dreams of a new fire station were solidified af ter voters overwhelming ly (71%) passed a ballot measure in 2016. After 16 months of construction, the city’s fire crews, who were temporarily stationed at the Dove Library, moved in Oct. 13 to the newly-built station.

“We had a lot of dis cussions about what would it take for this to occur,” Calderwood said. “The conversation started very early with the neighbors. This was the spot we need ed it to be, and I was not a believer. What was sitting here today, I did not think we would fit it on this lot. I have to hand it to the ar chitect and design team. It’s amazing they made this fit.”

The project also includ ed reconfiguring the inter section at El Camino Real and Arenal Road for ingress and egress for fire trucks, along with still-to-be-com pleted art installations in corporating the Carlsbad landscape.

Former Fire Chief Mike Davis, who also attended he event, said the department had been discussing a new Fire Station No. 2 since the early 1990s. By 2014, the old building had fallen out of code and into disrepair, but calls for service at the station were on the rise, to taling more than 4,500 calls each year.

So, Davis and Calder wood teamed with Jason Haber, then assistant to the city manager, to craft a bal

lot measure to fund a new firehouse.

Before writing the bal lot measure, Davis, Calder wood, and others in the de partment spoke to residents in the adjacent neighbor hood to gauge local support.

In 1972, the city of Carlsbad took over the sta tion, first built three years earlier, after the La Costa neighborhood voted to be come part of the city.

Mayor Matt Hall said the city was able to avoid us ing bonds or debt financing through strategic and longterm planning. By doing so, the project saved the tax payers millions of dollars.

“We get paid to run into burning buildings and being part of a communi ty proposition is not in our wheelhouse,” Davis said laughing. “There’s a lot of people who work here that spend a lot of time here. It’s also a neighbor and this is a great example of a neigh borhood firehouse.”

The new facility is state-of-the-art with a hose system that ties into the truck’s exhaust pipes to pump out emissions. Also, a new turnout room to house and clean gear, an oxy gen tank refilling station, dorms, office spaces, a mas sive kitchen, a balcony with

views of Batiquitos Lagoon, a lounge, and a dining room table made from the shin gles of old station’s roof.

Firefighter Mike Miles said the front door of the new station, located on Arenal Road, is open to the public who want to stop by and take a look if the fire crews aren’t responding to a service request. The pub lic access can also be used for residents to walk up and report an incident.

The new 10,000-squarefoot, two-story fire station can house a ladder truck — the longest of the fire department’s apparatus — and the department’s larg er vehicles, which initially came as a shock to Davis and Calderwood.

The five-person crew now has access to any vehi cles stationed onsite, using El Camino Real to avoid navigating tight spaces along Arenal Road. The sta tion is also equipped with two pushbuttons to change the traffic signal so the crews can safely access the road.

23 charged, guns seized in Escondido gang probe

By Steve Puterski

ESCONDIDO — An 18-month joint operation between local and federal law enforcement agencies resulted in the arrest of 23 individuals on various weapons and drug charges and the seizure of more than 100 firearms, a major ity of them being private ly-made or “ghost guns,” according to an Oct. 25 re lease.

The Escondido Police Department and the San Diego field office of the Bu reau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives announced the seizure of 113 firearms during the in vestigation.

Most of the weapons — including 71 pistols, six rifles, 33 machine guns (in cluding 19 fully-automatic conversion kits), two shot guns, and a silencer — were privately-made firearms known as “ghost guns.”

The joint operation, “Operation Devil’s Den,” targeted some of the most violent street gangs in Es condido, including the Dia blos, Westside and Floren cia 13.

Of the 23 arrests, the majority were from Escon dido (18), with two from Coachella Valley, one from San Diego and two un named suspects.

“The Escondido Police Department places a high priority on combating vi olent crime and keeping our community safe,” said Escondido Police Interim Chief David Cramer.

“An integral part of that endeavor is the part nerships we maintain with other law enforcement agencies. We are proud of the collaboration with our federal partners to keep dangerous and illegal weap ons out of the hands of pro hibited persons.”

Operation Devil’s Den specifically targeted con victed felons for illegal fire arm production and sales without a federal firearms license. Law enforcement also seized 19 machine gun conversion kits (commonly referred to as “switches” and “drop-in auto sears)” to convert semi-automatic pis tols and rifles into fully-au tomatic weapons.

In addition to nearly two dozen arrests and more than 100 firearms, the in vestigation also seized 15.5

pounds of methamphet amine, 115 grams of fentan yl, 20 grams of ecstasy and five grams of cocaine.

The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office is prosecuting approximately one-third of the criminal cases resulting from Opera tion Devil’s Den.

The DA’s Office has reported an uptick in gang-related cases, which have increased since 2020. Prosecutors reported 368 gang-related cases in 2020, which ballooned to 465 cas es the following year.

The joint investigation also involved 38 controlled purchases of firearms and narcotics using undercover agents, police officers and confidential informants. Investigative techniques utilized in Operation Dev il’s Den included extensive surveillance, which yielded key evidence in the capture of an individual suspected of attempted murder.

“This joint investiga tion is another exemplary illustration of ATF’s com mitment to creating safer communities,” said Mo nique Villages, ATF Los Angeles Field Division’s special agent in charge.

“ATF is working non stop with our local law enforcement partners to disrupt the private manu facturing of firearms and machine gun conversion devices. What ATF saw 10 years ago with the emer gence of the ghost gun phe nomena, is now what ATF is seeing with the emergence of machine gun conversion kits. The same criminals making and trafficking their own firearms are some of the same criminals trafficking the conversion devices.”

In 2021, the ATF seized 1,576 machine gun conver sion devices through the course of its own investi gations — a 438% increase from 2020.

From Jan. 1, 2016, through Dec. 31, 2021, law enforcement agencies re ported confiscating 45,240 suspected ghost guns at crime scenes nationwide, including firearms associat ed with 629 homicides or at tempted homicides, accord ing to numbers reported to the ATF.

During the five-year timeframe, the number of recovered ghost guns has increased from 1,758 in 2016 to 19,344 in 2021.

“This operation demon strates that we continue to grapple with an increase in gang- motivated shoot ings and the ongoing pro liferation of ‘ghost guns’–firearms that are usually untraceable,” said District Attorney Summer Stephan.

Volunteers must be at least age 50, be in good health, pass a background check, have auto insurance & a valid California driver’s license. Training includes a two week academy plus training patrols. The minimum commitment is 24 hours per month, & attendance at a monthly meeting. Interested parties should call (760) 966-3579 to arrange an information meeting.

“The increase in our prosecutions paint a dis turbing picture of gang violence on the rise in the county. We will continue to collaborate and cooperate with our law enforcement partners in the North Coun ty — and across San Diego County — to address gang violence through prosecu tion and prevention.”

Council gives final OK to Ocean Kamp

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — Ocean

Kamp, the giant mixed-use development with up to 700 homes and a wave pool, will replace the site of a former swap meet and drive-in movie theater after receiv ing City Council’s final ap proval last week to move forward.

Ocean Kamp was first approved by the Planning Commission in July. The project will include apart ments, condos, townhomes and senior housing, as well as 134,000 square feet of commercial retail and of fice space on a 92-acre site at the northeast corner of Foussat Road and state Route 76.

The project will also have a 300-key hotel resort with 232 hotel rooms, eight villas with 18 rooms, 16 casitas with 20 rooms and Airstream trailers with 30 rooms as well as a 3.5-acre wave lagoon for year-round surfing, swimming and pad dleboarding.

Two local groups filed appeals to the project shortly after the Planning Commission vote: one by Diane Nygaard on behalf of Preserve Calavera, a lo cal group that advocates for open spaces and the protec tion of natural resources, and another by San Diegans for Sustainable, Economic, and Equitable Development (SD SEED).

When a development project is appealed, the fi nal decision falls to the City Council. SD SEED with drew its appeal of the proj ect before Council’s Oct. 19 public hearing.

O’side Partnership, LLC, the developer of Ocean Kamp, reached a set tlement agreement with SD SEED that included the de veloper accepting several environmental concessions related to construction air quality, biological resourc es and water supply.

“We agree this project could bring some benefits to Oceanside, but the proj ect before you tonight also includes huge risks and huge impacts,” Nygaard said. “Those impacts in clude traffic congestion, air pollution, greenhouse gases, compromising the regional wildlife corridor, among many others.”

According to staff, the project will produce a $3.4 million net surplus to the city’s general fund at build-out, $295 million in one-time economic impacts from construction, the gen eration of nearly 1,800 jobs over the construction peri od and $8.9 million annual economic activity in the county.

As for airport safety, the San Diego Airport Land Use Commission reviewed the project and found it to be consistent with the Oceanside Municipal Air port’s adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.

Additionally, the Fed eral Aviation Administra tion completed an aeronau tical study of the project and determined it would not create a hazard to air navigation.

An air quality report concluded that the project would result in 3.0 met ric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents annually, in cluding construction. This is below the city threshold of significance established by the Climate Action Plan of 3.5 metric tons, making the project’s impact less than significant in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.

Nygaard and others also see the wave pool as wasteful given the state’s water supply issues in the midst of a drought and the pool’s proximity to the near by ocean where people al ready surf.

Jon Corn, CEO of O’side Partnership, argued that the wave pool will be a huge economic driver and tourist attraction for Oceanside.

“When I started on this project four years ago, I was kind of a wave pool doubt er… but then I went to a couple and they’re amazing, they’re super fun and have an energy about them that is very thrilling and makes people happy to be around them,” Corn said.

Corn noted that the wave pool will use about 5 million gallons a year, the same amount used on a sin gle hole of an 18-hole golf course per year.

A majority of more than 40 members of the public spoke in favor of the project, several of whom were local workers who are excited to be able to work closer to home instead of traveling far distances away from their families. A handful of surfers also be lieved the wave pool would be a valuable asset to the surf community, and others noted that the addition of homes will help the city’s low housing numbers.

Still, several people were concerned about the project’s impacts on the en vironment and traffic.

Prior to Ocean Kamp, the Oceanside Pavilions shopping center was ap proved for the site 14 years ago. The shopping center was never constructed, and O’side Partnership bought the property in 2018.

According to city staff and developers, the Ocean Kamp project will gener ate far less traffic than the shopping center would have.

The City Council unanimously approved the project. Councilmember Christopher Rodriguez was absent from the meeting.

COUNCIL WEIGHS IN ON FAIR FIELDS ACCESS

OCEANSIDE — The city is working on updating its recreational facilities us age policy to make reserv ing fields and gyms more equitable and transparent.

Over the last several months, community mem bers involved in recreation al sports have met with both city staff and members of the Parks and Recreation Commission and City Coun cil to address their strug gles with accessing fields and gyms.

For many, it appears that some sports groups are unfairly prioritized over others.

“I believe there is a perception of inequity in the scheduling of field time and I think that it needs to be resolved,” said Coun cilmember Kori Jensen.

An ad hoc committee was formed from Parks and Recreation Commission members to find a solution to the issue, however that work has stalled for now due to some disagreements with the committee’s struc ture.

Earlier this year, the ad hoc committee became aware that Coastal Acade my, a public charter school, had been grouped in with Oceanside Unified School District’s joint use agree ment with the city.

The agreement places school sports teams under a priority tier that eliminates the rental fee for field or gym time and only charges staff support time.

Parks and Recreation Division Manager Mark Ol son previously told the ad hoc committee that he made that call to include Coastal Academy because of their status as a public school;

however the Oceanside Uni fied School District clari fied that the charter school is not part of its agreement with the city.

“We put an immedi ate end to that so that is no longer in place,” said City Manager Jonathan Bor rego. “They are no longer receiving scheduling priori ty based on the assumption that they fall under the ex isting joint use agreement —that was put to an end several months ago.”

Borrego has also been looking into the issue, hav ing met with community members to discuss their concerns as well.

“In no way, shape or form do I think that the city was denied revenue by the fact that Coastal Academy was given access to those fields, because at the end of the day they are a public charter school so they don’t fall under any sort of cate gory that would require us to charge them for usage of those facilities,” Borrego said. “Now whether or not they received priority that they shouldn’t have is a completely different situa tion.”

Borrego also said while the city has improved its field reservation process in some ways, such as making

it easier to use via the inter net rather than in its previ ous paper form, there is still plenty of room for more im provements.

More than 20 members of the public spoke on the subject of field and gym access during the Oct. 19 council meeting.

Several pickleball play ers and others shared that they felt they were treated well by city staff through the process, and several shared how they were con stantly struggling to get their teams on the field and felt pushed aside by staff.

Wayne Godinet, a longtime member of the com munity, called for an inves tigation into the Coastal Academy situation. He also feels there is a potential conflict of interest with CJ Palmer, a city sports pro gram specialist, whose chil dren attend Coastal Acade my and play basketball for the school.

“If that’s not a conflict of interest I don’t know what is,” Godinet said.

Olson previously ad dressed that perceived con flict of interest by explain ing that he would be the one to handle any scheduling conflicts with Coastal Acad emy and not Palmer.

Borrego did not feel that the city needed to hire an outside entity to conduct an investigation into the matter since Coastal Acad emy was no longer being prioritized.

Instead, Borrego and staff will work to further improve the field schedul ing process based on the input he has received from community members.

One issue pointed out by community members re garding access to fields is the lack of fields in Oceans ide in general. Demand for field use has also increased with more year-round sports seasons.

Councilmember Pe ter Weiss pointed out that the city is installing lights at Mance Buchanon Park, which will help to expand field access throughout the evenings.

Borrego is expected to come back to City Council in 30 days with an update on improvements to the scheduling process.

Vista city manager resigns

By Laura Place VISTA — Patrick Johnson has announced his resignation as Vista’s city manager after nearly 11 years in the position, in opposition to a new pol icy that removed his sole authority over the depart ment head hiring process.

Johnson informed the city of his involuntary resignation in an Oct. 13 letter, stat ing that he made the decision following the City Council’s adoption of a code change in September that required him to ap point department heads in consultation and agree ment with a majority of the council for the coming six months.

Johnson, who recent ly clocked in his 24th year serving as a city employ ee, said the new policy had resulted in a materi al change to his contract without his consent, thus triggering his ability to tender his involuntary resignation and be placed on paid administrative leave through March 2023.

“This was a funda mental change in the City Manager position and authority by remov ing my ability to create and manage an effec tive management team. I advised you in advance that this action would be taken against my wishes and result in involuntary resignation as City Man ager,” Johnson stated in his letter.

A city staff report confirms that Johnson is currently on paid ad ministrative leave. The City Council appointed Assistant City Manager Amanda Lee as acting city manager at its Tues day meeting while the

Halloween prep is part inspiration, part perspiration

Asalways, I am rel ishing the Hallow een season. My fake black cat’s on the porch and my witch’s broom stands ready for flight.

I even have genuine spi der webs pretty much every where, if I just stop vacuum ing for 12 hours.

I also get to decorate the school library, which has a particularly receptive au dience.

And I remain shame less. I will spray my hair green and wear glittery spider deely bobbers on my head just to get a laugh out

of the kids.

I think I’m ready. I’m stocking up on hot dogs that I serve in the driveway, which has become a fun neighbor hood tradition. I have far too much candy stashed where filchers can’t find it.

Well, it always seems like far too much, but when

I see those bright eyes and adorable little faces, my in tention to give one piece to each child just crumbles. I have to throw in handfuls.

And I always have to save some for the junior high kids who never come by until after 8 p.m.

I love to shout, “Trick or Treat forever!” I am one of the few who encourage them to keep being goofy, even when the pressure is on to be too cool to toss on a cos tume and schlep from house to house.

Besides, it keeps them from toilet-papering my house later.

Rolling on wheels of future past

water spot

OnWednesday, Oct. 19, 18-year-old wonder woman, surfer/skater, phi losopher queen, singer/ songwriter Bryce Wettstein became California Surf Museum’s latest “Making Waves” inductee.

Bryce, as many of you realize, skated for the Unit ed States in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (held in 2021). While she is a brilliant surfer and the top-ranked woman skateboarder in the country, she is far more than that.

She is a mentor who without saying a word makes us want to be better versions of ourselves. This, she does by simply being joyful and open, and pull ing off difficult surf and skate moves, effortless ly, with a great smile and equally great style.

Her message is more direct in her music. Once you get beyond her up lifting melodies, Bryce’s songs, somehow soft and powerful, simple and com plex all at the same time turn out to be a matrix of meaning.

Consider the lyrics to her song “Extraordinary”: “When you have something you think is nothing/Noth ing never comes from some thing/You are everything in your story, and that’s what makes you extraordi nary.”

Talent and kindness gift wrapped in a humble, appreciative, attractive package. What were you doing at 18? (I’ll spare you my wasted youth stories and move on.)

Bryce credits family: father, Max; mother, Don na; younger sister, Sum mer, and those who first laid down the tracks she follows in her chosen sports for her success.

While her music re veals traces of islanders Jack Johnson and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, her skat ing is apparently influ enced by freestyle genius

Rodney Mullen and local skaters like Steve Caballe ro and her neighbor, Tony Hawk.

A small crowd has gathered to hear Bryce tell her story and sing her songs. Later that evening she pauses to speak with Bruce Logan before real izing that he is someone whose skateboarding can be traced to the sport’s steel-wheeled, two-by-four origins.

Logan, who is a twotime world skateboarding champion and the first in ductee to the Skateboard ing Hall of Fame, invented many of the basic tricks, the nose wheelie, and the space walk among them, that Bryce and her peers still use today when skat ing freestyle.

When I mentioned to Bryce that Bruce had changed the world with his skating, he turned to her and said, “Now, it’s your turn.” Contemplating that possibility, Bryce thanked Bruce and said, “Okay, I’m gonna try hard, for you.”

Over five decades sep arate a legend and a future legend of the sport of skate boarding. A blink of an eye really when you consider how fast these two have rolled.

I would never presume to give advice to an orga nization so well run as the

California Surf Museum. But please pardon my mak ing this one suggestion: a Big Wednesday event fea turing the Logan family.

Known collectively as “The First Family of Skateboarding,” composed of mother, Barbara (RIP), Skateboarding Hall of Famers Brian, Bruce and Robin Logan, along with Brad, who was sure to be the next superstar in the family before skateboard ing crashed in the late ’70s.

This family once ruled the skate world while op erating Logan Earth Ski, a skateboard company that was among the top skate board manufacturers in the world.

Most every great skat er from the past, including legends Tony Alva and Jay Adams, were part of the Logan team at one time. The Logans have many stories that are well worth hearing.

I’ll bet that with a lit tle coaxing we could even convince Bryce to play some of her magical songs.

Check out the Bryce Wettstein exhibit at the California Surf Museum. 312 Pier View Way, Oceanside,

No, I won’t eat my can dy stash before Monday, be cause I carefully purchase candy that I don’t like. It is the only insurance against eating as much as I hand out.

The downside is that you won’t find much choc olate being offered at my door.

Now all that’s left to do is perfect a costume that won’t terrify my little pals when they come to my house.

I also have more fun if they recognize me, as they are always amazed to see their school librarian in the driveway.

From A to Z: Best, worst of weekend

Houston will meet the Phil lies in the World Series.

Sport S

Again, it’s wait until next year for the Padres

AGrade

for the radio play-by-play from Jesse Agler and Tony Gwynn Jr. calling the Padres-Phillies NL Championship Series. They did not miss a beat all weekend. Tony’s commen tary added insight into in dividual players’ mindsets and Agler has been solid all season long.

Burrow, as in Joe Bur row, who had a marvel ous day as the defending AFC champs (Cincinnati Bengals) are finding their groove. Burrow was on-tar get all afternoon, com pleting 34 of 42 passing attempts for 481 passing yards and three TDs in the Bengals’ 35-17 romp over the Atlanta Falcons.

C olts: Indianapolis is falling apart like a cheap suit. QB Matt Ryan is not the answer. Do they still have Phillip Rivers’ phone number? Or maybe Colts head coach Frank Reich can lace up and play the po sition again.

D etroit Lions after scoring at least three touch downs in the first four games of the season, the Li ons’ offense has struggled, scoring just six points in the last two games. The hot seat getting hotter for Lions head coach Dan Campbell. But, Detroit is used to this. No touchdowns Sunday and a 1-5 record to begin the season.

E is for everyone who supported our Padres this year. Add enthusiasm like we never have seen before. E is for energy and electric ity that surged throughout Petco Park all season.

F is for Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan and Trevor Lawrence all soaked like wet noodles. Brady might want to recon sider retirement — again. No touchdowns and losing to the under-inflated Caro lina Panthers make things worse for the reigning Su per Bowl champs.

G reen Bay is on a threegame losing streak, drop ping games they should win. Another loss and they will be Green BY. This team has major problems. Losing to the Washing ton Commanders with no sense of urgency will make for a long season for the Cheeseheads. Green Bay travels to Buffalo for Sun day Night Football. Ouch!

H ouston Astros: They won’t need garbage cans or buzzers this year. Dusty Baker is a managerial ge nius. This team has it all: speed, hitting and pitch ing. The Astros swept the Yankees 4-0 to become the American League champs.

Philadelphia will try for its third title, while the Astros seek their second champi onship ring. H is also for Bryce Harper…Phillies gave him a 13-year con tract to do what he does, which is plays the game hard every day…A big-time player who stepped up big during the playoffs.

I is for I swear, these NFL coaches are totally in complete with their clock management and analyt ics. Incompetent decisions seem to be a weekly pat tern. Has the LA Chargers Head Coach Brandon Staley got the memo? Also, “I” is for Padres manager Bob Melvin not intentionally walking Bryce Harper.

J acksonville Jaguars: No matter who coaches them, they are still bad. The Jags are now 2-5 with no help in sight after los ing Sunday to the NY Gi ants, 23-17. This franchise accepts complacency and subpar performances with out accountability. And we thought former Jack sonville head coach Urban Meyer was the problem?

K ansas City Chiefs blasting the 49ers, 44-23. It’s not how you start but how you finish. When you have a QB like Patrick Ma homes, it makes winning easy. The 49ers have a mash unit on the field, and their stellar defense was exposed Sunday after Mahomes threw for over 400 yards.

L as Vegas Raiders get ting a much-needed confi dence boost in a 38-20 win over the Houston Texans. Don’t count this squad out yet. Halloween is coming soon and the Raiders are digging themselves out from the grave.

M ajor League Baseball for having an afternoon playoff game on Sunday just hours after a night game. If the series went a full seven games, both teams would’ve played five straight games without any days of rest between. Who made this schedule? Merci less!

N ew York Jets and Gi ants both winning again. New York-New York: No one saw this coming. The Jets are 5-2 for second place in the AFC East and the Gi ants are 6-1 for second place in the NFC East.

O regon blasting UCLA 45-30 and giving Bruins head coach Chip Kelly, the former Ducks HC, a reason to drink. UCLA drops from among college football’s few remaining undefeated teams.

Phillies, a No. 6-seed, ousted the Padres with three straight wins at home to become the National League champs and head to the World Series. The Phil lies’ last World Series title was in 2008.

Q uarter by quarter:

talk

paris

The Padres were hop ing to play Game 7 on Tuesday rather than putting the fi nal touches on their Cloud 9 ride.

Instead of wrestling with the Philadelphia Phil lies for the final World Series invitation, general manager A.J. Preller and manager Bob Melvin held court with the media. Not yet 48 hours after the Pa dres were eliminated by the Phillies in Game 5 of the National League Cham pionship Series, Preller and Melvin tried to make sense of what happened and what lies ahead.

The sting of the Padres’ deepest run in the playoffs since 1998 was evident. The pain that accompanies a late loss in the postseason hung in the room. The long ing for nine more innings in front of those rabid Padres fans was obvious.

“We have the motiva tion to do it again,” Preller said.

Preller, an Encinitas resident, gave long-suffer ing Padres boosters a thrill by constructing a team that shocked the New York Mets and slew the Los Angeles Dodgers in the playoffs. That the Padres were but three wins from only their third World Series, with a chance to win their first World Series title, wasn’t lost on Preller or Melvin.

“The season was hard, but I think it served us well

as we got to the postsea son,” Preller said.

There were a few ques tions on Melvin’s usage of Game 5 pitchers, after right-hander Robert Suarez left a cookie over the plate in the eighth inning for Bryce Harper, the Phillies’ left-handed hitting super star. He deposited it into the left-field bleachers for a go-ahead, two-run homer.

But Melvin never wa vered on his decision to leave lefty Josh Hader in the bullpen. Just because the calculation failed doesn’t mean it was the wrong move, Melvin said.

Much of the briefing was spent on what went right with the Padres during their roller-coaster season, which often fos tered a love-hate relation ship between the Padres and their faithful followers. The Padres supplied many opportunities to send fans in the other direction, but they were just too good, and too entertaining, to be shut out completely.

Instead the patrons

stuck and they delivered what was needed in the sea son’s final months. So much that before power was cut from the microphones, Mel vin made another point.

“They were immense in our success,” Melvin said of the crowds. “They were a big part of it. They were almost like another roster player.”

A peek at the Padres’ squad reveals more smiles than frowns, as if there were any remaining. With offensive weapons such as third baseman Manny Machado, right fielder Juan Soto and infielder/outfield er Fernando Tatis Jr., the Padres could be in the same position next year.

With the only caveat being they anticipate gath ering the media after the World Series, and just may be, a World Series title.

“I think a lot of the guys here are prepared to take that next step,” Melvin said. “Look at the players that we have coming back and we are going to be as good as anybody.”

That’s high praise and it was once sprinkled with regularity on Tatis. But if there was a smidgen of news from Tuesday’s wake, it was where Tatis will play.

Tatis, who is rebound ing from shoulder and wrist surgery as he serves his 80-game suspension for ingesting performance-en hancing drugs, is no longer a lock to play shortstop. Not after Ha-Seong Kim was steady in the middle of the infield. The Padres are in no hurry to move Kim, where reliability eclipses being on ESPN’s top 10 plays.

Preller was vague on where Tatis, who’s eligible to play again on April 20, will play next season.

“I just want to see him on the field for 145 games next season,” Preller said. “He can play all over the field.”

Throughout San Diego County, the locals enjoyed a season that won’t soon fade from their memories. It had drama, lows, highs and a late-season run that shook Petco Park to its bedrock.

Sure, it ended with a gut punch and Melvin said the players felt the same thing. Although their ab dominal pain came with a nod toward 2023.

“They are going to be really hungry to go fur ther,” he said.

With Preller working the roster’s edges. Unlike previous offseasons, Prel ler’s moves will be minimal.

“We feel like we have a really good foundation in place,” Preller said. “We just need a couple other pieces to take the final step.”

By Steve Puterski CARMEL VALLEY

— North County residents could mistake the salvo of bumps, cut shots, spikes and kills from the Cathedral Catholic girls' volleyball team as an artillery exer cise at Camp Pendleton.

But it’s just the Dons (35-0) demolishing their op ponents in unprecedented fashion — they haven't lost a set all season.

The Dons wrapped up the regular season on Oct.

20 with a 25-8, 25-14, 25-8 sweep of Patrick Henry in the City Western confer ence finale.

The Dons are currently ranked No. 1 in the nation by Maxpreps and USA Today, led by a roster loaded with Division I collegiate com mits making national head lines. Earlier this month, Cathedral won the Geico Girls Volleyball Invitational in Omaha, Nebraska, broad cast live on ESPN+.

Despite the national

attention, Dons head coach Juliana Conn said the team is focused on one challenge at a time.

“Now, it’s our turn,” Conn said after Cathe dral’s impressive 25-9, 2514, 25-9 sweep of Torrey Pines on Oct. 18. “We have this dream team, but we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves. We don’t talk about anything other than the next match. Let’s make sure we’re getting better. As soon as you blink an eye, a

team that you’re not expect ing can take a game from you, (you) get out of sorts, and you lose a match.”

The Dons' rise to new heights began last year from the ruins of a devastat ing 3-1 loss in the CIF Open Division state semifinals to Marymount of Los Angeles.

Conn said they learned from the defeat, working on the team's ball control in the offseason, leading to better passing and a more consistent offense.

Cathedral took advan tage of a rematch with Ma rymount last month, drop ping the Sailors 2-0.

“We know if we can take care of the back of the game, the front of the game is a given for us,” Conn said of the team's improved ball control.

While the girls dream of a state title, staying pres ent in the moment is more important, Conn said, pre paring for every opponent to avoid last year’s postsea son heartbreak.

“We just keep our goals in check,” senior middle blocker Mia Compas said. “Our one focus is to win, and we don’t let anything else get in our way.”

Besides the team’s

work ethic and focus, the Dons veteran squad has an embarrassment of riches regarding talented players.

Senior outside hitter Julia Blyashov, a Stanford com mit, leads the team with 32 kills, averaging four per set.

Blyashov, who was named player of the match against the Falcons, has plenty of help from senior opposite hitter Noemie Glover, committed to Ore gon, Compas (Davidson), senior outside hitter Cate

Schnell (Tennessee), ju nior middle blocker Jen na Hanes (Michigan), and many more.

The hitters are equipped with arms like howitzers, smashing each ball from setters Amanda Saeger (DePaul) and Te hya Maeva (Nevada) before quickly pivoting to play de fense when opponents at tempt a kill.

Height is another ad vantage: the Dons have 11 players standing at least 6 feet tall. Blyashov and Hanes are both 6 feet, 3 inches, Glover (6-2), Schnell (6-1) and Compas (6-0) — all of whom make for a formi dable front line difficult for opposing hitters to pene trate.

And yet, the roster of talented players amidst a flawless season remain humble and focused.

“I think we realized any team can beat us, and we need to work hard at practice and get 1% better,” Blyashov said of last year’s loss. “The way we work in practice shows in how we play.”

The Dons’ were sched uled to host Del Norte (286) in a noncoference match last night.

The Denver Broncos look horrible and are in big trouble. The Broncs will be parading for a touchdown soon. This is not what John Elway envisioned. The “Orange Crush” offense couldn’t crack an egg, los ing to the NY Jets, 16-9.

R is for Roll Tide: The Alabama Crimson Tide bounced back from last week’s dramatic loss to Tennessee, dominating the Mississippi State Bulldogs, 30-0. Bama is now 7-1.

S is for Smith, as in Sea hawks QB Geno Smith mak ing the Seattle fans forget about Russell Wilson. Se attle improves to 4-3 after whipping the LA Chargers 37-23 to take first place in the NFC West.

Tennessee Titans flying

underneath the radar with their fourth-straight win. Add Tampa Bay for their fourth-consecutive loss and beginning to crumble as defending Super Bowl champs. Remember the Ti tans, who still aren’t getting any respect after their 0-2 start.

U as in United: The Pa dres uniting our city like never before. And having a top-five league home at tendance count. You, San Diego, made it happen.

V : The number of games (4-1) it took the Phillies to oust the San Diego Padres and claim the NLCS crown. The Astros only needed four games to sweep the Yan kees and send them fishing.

W is for Westwood One: Hall of Fame QB Kurt War ner and Kevin Harlan being such a great broadcasting team for Monday Night

Football on the radio. Add Seattle RB Kenneth Walker III rushing 23 times for 168 yards. Also, the World Se ries begins this week: Phil adelphia vs. Houston.

X is for the Los Ange les Lakers and the lack of making baskets and finding someone who can shoot. The Lakers are 0-3 to begin the NBA season. This team is hard to watch.

Y is for Yu Darvish, a stud and a great pitcher to inspire young and old base ball players alike. Darvish is a true professional, on and off the field, and gave fans a season filled with phenomenal pitching.

Z end.

Wave inaugural season ends in NWSL semis

By City News Service

REGION — San Diego

Wave FC’s hopes of a berth in the NWSL Championship in its inaugural season end ed with a 2-1 loss to Portland Thorns FC in a semifinal last Sunday in Portland, Oregon, with substitute Crystal Dunn scoring the winner three minutes into second-half stoppage time.

The sequence began with Meghan Klingenberg's corner kick that two Wave defenders tried to head out of the penalty area. Dunn

beat Wave defender Chris ten Westphal to the loose ball, then put a right-footed shot from just inside the pen alty area into the net for her first goal in five games this season after giving birth to her first child May 20.

“I was able to react and able to get there first,” said Dunn, a member of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup champion U.S. team who en tered the game in the 62nd minute, replacing midfield er Rocky Rodriguez, who scored Portland’s first goal.

Wave midfielder Taylor Kornieck opened the scoring in the eighth minute, head ing in a cross from Alex Mor gan six yards from the goal for her fourth goal in Wave FC’s five games against Port land in all competitions.

Thorns FC tied the score in the 20th minute.

College breaks ground on stadiums

By Staff

SAN MARCOS — Palomar College broke ground on a sports facility that will include new foot ball and softball stadiums, in a ceremony on campus Oct. 18.

Envisioned as a oneyear project, the new sta diums are expected to be unveiled in time for the Comets’ 2023 football sea son, allowing the team to host home games on cam pus for the first time.

The softball stadium, for its part, will hold four

times the number of fans than current accommoda tions, with a press box four stories above field level.

“In building these stadiums, we are honoring a legacy of excellence by two of our cornerstone pro grams — football and soft ball,” said Palomar Athlet ic Director Daniel Lynds.

The project now un der way is Phase 1 of two planned phases of improve ments, the second of which will include a state-of-theart athletics field house and other amenities.

commitment to the prochoice position.

“The support for abor tion, to me, is saying that women have the ability to determine the fundamental direction of their life and that the government will not interfere with that,” Blakespear said. “Being forced into childbirth when someone does not want it, I see that as anathema to the freedoms we hold as Amer icans and also to women’s ability to try to achieve equality with men.”

Councilman Joe Mos ca seconded the mayor’s thoughts by reasserting his personal beliefs in a wom an’s right to choose.

“I deeply believe in the fundamental right of women to decide what to do with their bodies and to have control over their future,” Mosca said. “This is a personal decision for the woman. With almost 50 years of federal protections gone overnight, we must pass Proposition 1 on the ballot so that we preserve this fundamental right in California.”

Proposition 1, spon sored earlier this year by Gov. Gavin Newsom, Senate Pro Tempore Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) and state As sembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, would amend the state constitution to grant a woman’s right to abortion and contraceptives explicit ly.

Blakespear asserted there was precedent for the city to make such an en dorsement of the resolution, pointing to other surround ing cities such as San Mar cos, Vista, and Escondido, where elected officials had brought up synonymous pro posals.

“We are the fourth city regionally to consider a reso lution in support of Prop 1,” Blakespear said in defense of her rationale for bringing forth the resolution. “The reason for Prop 1 is that it moves the issue of abortion out of the hands of a judge and codifies that protection of privacy.”

Councilman Tony Kranz agreed.

“As a council member and a Catholic, I take an approach to governance from a secular perspective,” Kranz said. “The reality is that we’re in a post-Roe era where there is a need to

take action. And you don’t agree — I get it. But frank ly, it’s one of those things where it’s time to stand up, and women’s fundamental choice about whether to bring a child into the world is at threat.”

The majority of public speakers at Wednesday’s meeting expressed strong opposition to the resolution, including numerous written letters opposing the propos al. Some called the resolu tion a political stunt, while others questioned the coun cil’s authority to endorse a ballot proposition on behalf of all their constituents.

“Mayor Blakespear in dependently initiated item 12A, a citywide resolution which clearly is intended to support her well-published platform for her campaign for Senate,” said longtime resident Dennis Kaden. “To a growing number of citi zens, this appears to be an abuse of power. With the election just weeks away, this should be questioned not only from the voter’s perspective but also from a legal one.

“Does the council now assume they have the power to make political and moral decisions for their constit uents? By what legal right could this be considered within their purview to de clare that all citizens sup port Prop 1 – and influence Encinitas voters prior to the upcoming elections on November 8th by adopting this proposed resolution on

behalf of our city?”

Resident Ann McGinn is criticized the council for improperly using city re sources to influence voters to support Proposition 1 on the November ballot.

“It is not the place of the mayor, nor the City Council, to arrogantly urge the citizens of Encinitas to vote for or against any issue on the ballot,” McGinnis said. “And, it is certainly not your place to spend city time or funds to promote the passage of a particular proposition. If you vote for this resolution, it opens the door for you to influence citizens to vote a particular way on myriad issues.

“While (Blakespear) is entitled to her personal opinion, it does not belong in a proposed city resolu tion. As a public servant, she is expected to represent all the citizens of Encinitas and show respect for the court and our system of government. Whether she agrees with the decision or not does not take away the legitimacy of the decision.”

Other residents who op pose the ballot measure ac cused the mayor of attempt ing to push her personal opinions on the abortion issue onto Encinitas resi dents.

“Our family is offend ed on more than one level,” said Julie Madden. “First and foremost, we are offend ed that the City Council would encourage Encinitas residents to vote for a mea

sure that would literally kill more unborn babies’ lives than are already taken each year. This is not a ‘right to reproductive healthcare.’ This is the killing of ba bies, and this Proposition 1 would allow the killing of babies up until the moment of birth.

“Think about that, for even just a moment. Let it also be known that the cit izens of California would pay for these abortions via our tax dollars. City coun cil, your views are not our views. The citizens of Encin itas will vote on Proposition 1 on Nov. 8. We do not need the City Council to repre sent the moral views of the city of Encinitas.”

And still others felt Blakespear’s resolution was inappropriate based on her political aspirations, at tempting to bolster her cur rent campaign platform.

“Your resolution does not represent the feelings of all people in Encinitas,” residents William and Rose mary Wolanin wrote in a let ter. “I feel strongly that it is a conflict of interest for May or Blakespear to present a resolution that is part of her political platform. Further more, it is not the place for a city council to support or deny by resolution a propo sition that is deeply felt by people both for and against an issue. Please do not make the issue of abortion an En cinitas political statement. Let each of the voters make up their own minds and cast

Other residents sup ported the resolution, call ing it an essential step in affirming the city’s support for the pro-choice move ment.

“The City of Encinitas is home to a large health care community,” said res ident Theresa Beauchamp, a healthcare practitioner. “This resolution is an im portant declaration that our City will support our com munity members’ access to and our medical profession als’ provision of high quality and safe reproductive care.”

Councilwoman Kellie Hinze defended the coun cil’s decision while acknowl edging the move was deeply unpopular with some resi dents.

“In today’s climate, voters want to know where their elected officials stand on protecting women’s right to reproductive freedoms, so I was glad Mayor Blake spear brought forward the resolution to support Prop 1,” Hinze said. “During Wednesday night’s public comment, anti-choice speak ers ardently described their

opposition to abortion with some of the most impas sioned language I’ve heard during my four years as a council member.

“I firmly respect the right of anyone who doesn’t support abortion never to get one, just as I believe that women who choose abortion and contraceptives have the right to do so. Abortion is healthcare which is why Prop 1 has the support of medical professionals. A woman’s right to bodily au tonomy belongs enshrined in our state’s constitution.”

North County is a known skating mecca, with Encinitas being its vibrant epicenter, and connec tions in the community are

“It’s important for the diversity and inclusivity of skating,” Hawk said of Exposure. “I love seeing what’s possible.”

Encinitas 12-year-old Katelyn West, who enjoyed an ice pop after competing in the vert division on Sun day, called her first year at Exposure “awesome” and encouraged other young aspiring skaters to give it a try.

“Do it, it’s an amazing event. Just do it for fun,” West said.

Brooks Street pool renovations set for ’23

By Samantha Nelson OCEANIDE — The Brooks Street pool is get ting a million-dollar make over.

The City Council ap proved a $1.1 million con tract with California Wa ters Development, Inc. of Yorba Linda to design and construct several renova tions at the Brooks Street Swim Center.

County gas prices continue to drop

By City News Service

REGION — The av erage price of a gallon of self-serve regular gaso line in San Diego County dropped Wednesday for the 21st consecutive day since rising to a record, decreasing 3.6 cents to $5.692.

The average price has dropped 74.3 cents over the past 21 days, accord ing to figures from the AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. The decreases follow a run of 32 increases in 33 days to taling $1.213.

The average price is at its lowest amount since Sept. 24 and 23.8 cents less than one week ago and 9.2 cents lower than one month ago but $1.179 more than one year ago.

The national average price dropped for the 14th time in 15 days, decreas ing 1.1 cents to $3.764, its lowest amount since Sept. 27. It has dropped 15.9 cents over the past 15 days.

Street was the plastering of the main and wading pools in 2011.

A needs assessment was conducted in 2014 to determine what else the pool could use.

Then in 2022, the city received both state and county grant funding to support the continued oper ation of the pool.

The city will use $600,000 from a state grant, $289,000 from a county grant and $211,000 from the city’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to pay for the renova

tions.

The scope of the ren ovation work will include replacement of the pool’s deck, re-plastering the main and wading pools, replacing pool mechanical equipment and other im provements mandated per California building code and the Department of En vironmental Health.

An additional $124,340 was pulled from the city’s park fees fund as well as an other $75,659 from ARPA to pay for additional staff time and contingency costs that make the overall proj

ect cost about $1.3 million.

Construction is expect ed to be completed by next summer, which means the pool will be closed between January and June 2023.

“Operations will be temporarily moved over to the Marshall Street Swim Center,” said Senior Civil Engineer Darra Woods.

California Waters De velopment, the company hired to the project, was also responsible for the re cent re-plastering of the main and wade pools at the Marshall Street Swim Cen ter.

The policy includes a sunset clause that will revert the policy back to its original language six months after its adoption, removing council involve ment in the hiring process. During those six months, staff planned to develop a policy that would include a hiring panel to advise the city manager on qualified applicants.

Councilmember John Franklin, who initially vot ed against the policy when it was introduced in Au gust but voted in favor of it in September, said while he was aware that Johnson may choose to resign, it still came as a surprise.

“He certainly made clear that it was a possible outcome. I think we were still surprised when he ten dered his voluntary resigna tion,” Franklin said.

“It was a great loss to lose Patrick Johnson. He was very highly thought of by the employees. I am sad dened that he has decided to move along, and we’ve got big shoes to fill to replace him.”

ownership of the land, and multiple attempts to devel op the property as a hotel resort, it has become clear that a mixed-income com munity is the most benefi cial use of the land for the city and the region,” Sea side Ridge representative Darrel Pudgil said.

This time around, de velopers eyeing the land are doing whatever they can to ensure that their project can move forward.

Southern California law firm Sheppard Mullin, which is representing the project, argues that Assem bly Bill 1398 and Senate bills 330 and 8 — which limit jurisdictions’ abili ties to restrict new afford able housing developments — would allow the project to move forward under the state’s by-right process and remove any of the city’s discretionary or subjective requirements.

AB 1398 states that jurisdictions that submit their Housing Element to the state more than a year after the statutory deadline cannot be in com pliance unless they first rezone all properties iden tified as potential housing sites.

With Del Mar’s 6th Cy cle Housing Element still under review by the state,

lawyers argue that the city fits these terms and must rezone the property now.

“The actions of the State to create an expe dited path for this land to become part of the solution to our worsening housing crisis is a welcome opportu nity to make a meaningful impact for people who can not otherwise afford to live in this special area of our region,” Pudgil said.

In an initial response to the application, City Manager Ashley Jones stated the city “is not in agreement with the pro posed legal basis by which the project has been de signed” and said that the application — which did not include rezone, design review permit or coastal development applications — would not be able to pro ceed as is.

“The City of Del Mar is not in agreement with the proposed legal basis by which the project has been designed. It is the City’s position that the submit ted application request is not consistent with the cur rent zoning and density al lowances for the property located at 929 Border Ave nue,” Jones said.

The 929 Border Ave property is already includ ed in the city’s Housing Element as a potential site to be rezoned to fulfill state affordable housing re

quirements, but purely as a backup option if they can not secure an agreement to develop affordable housing units on the Fairgrounds by 2024.

“The City’s adopted Housing Element identi fies a sufficient inventory of sites with correct zoning and capacity to meet the City’s [Regional Housing Needs Assessment] without the need to rezone proper ties,” Jones added.

The city of Del Mar recently approved its first by-right housing project, the 50-unit Watermark de velopment on the corner of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive, in April.

However, progress on the contentious project has been stalled after it was appealed to the Califor nia Coastal Commission, where the matter remains to be decided.

Lazier’s project ap plication also includes a request that the project is allowed to exceed the city’s 14-foot maximum building height to permit building up to 55 feet tall.

Due to the “high lev el of public interest” in the Seaside Ridge proj ect, the city of Del Mar has made all application documents available on their delmar.ca.us/861/ Seaside-Ridge-Prelimi nary-Development-Ap.

The search continues for the perfect cocktail glass

cheers! north county

ryan woldt

Ihada cocktail glass… err, let me rephrase that. I’ve had many cocktail glasses. Let me rephrase again. I have a cocktail glass now that looks fantastic and vintage despite being recently pur chased.

It’s fine. It reflects light through the pattern on the glass in a cool way. Previously, it was on the shelf as a tea-light candle holder.* I have a cocktail glass, and it is fine.

Honestly, it’s a little bit too small in my hand, the weight isn’t right, and the glass doesn’t have the same precision as my other favorite cocktail glasses. So, when it comes to glass ware, I’m a bit particular, but only because I care.

I’m loyal to a fault when I commit to a cock tail glass. It becomes part of my hand at happy hour. If it is dirty, I wash it. The weight of it in my hand eas es any anxieties I may have accumulated throughout the day.

Ice thumps comfort ably against the side walls, which will echo the crack ing across the cube when pouring my preferred alco hol over the top.

There are rules about glasses. Professional bar tenders make sure to serve martinis in martini glasses; whiskey in a rocks glass; wine in a wine glass; a mule in a copper mug, and a Collins in a highball. But since I’ve retired from slangin’ drinks (as the kids say), everything I drink gets poured into the same glass.

My favorite cocktail glass of all time had a horse on it. It was a thrift store find, and the base

was thick glass. It had a heft that tempted me to throw it against the wall like I was a black-hatted cowboy in an old western film, but I would never.

Sadly, it slipped from my grasp during a wash ing session. The American Saddle Horse (glass) would ride no more.

Then for a time, I was obsessed with Mason jars. Besides being available in various sizes and shapes, the screwtop lids came in handy when traveling to the beach for sunset.

Not to mention many had convenient marks on the side, making mixing a cocktail easier.

I’m a believer that the right cocktail glass finds me. A type of magic occurs when I pick up the right glass for the first time — I just know.

So, for now, I’ll make do with the tea-light glass or, in a pinch, a leftover jar of Bonne Maman fruit preserves with a red-white checkered lid. The search continues.

Post a photo of your fa vorite cocktail glass, mug, or jar and tag @CoastNews and @CheersNorthCounty on Instagram. Then, fol low and share all of your drinking adventures with

What I’m listening to: DOPE LEMON, “Coyote”

By Ryan Woldt

Last week, I so journed to the des ert — Ryan Camp ground in Joshua Tree, to be precise. It’s an adventure common among San Diegans looking to es cape. Escape what, besides the wi-fi signal, I’m not sure. That’s why I was go ing. No internet. I packed the car with the essentials — books, camera, sleeping bag, peanut butter and jel ly sandwiches, whiskey, and really good coffee.

I rarely sleep well the first night at any camp, especially in the desert. I crawled into my sleeping bag. For once, I remem bered my pillow, and the fall temperatures dropped down into the high 40s making for the perfect cozy temps in the back of the Ruka (Ruka is the name of my Wife’s Subaru).

I shifted around, trying to twist and contort so that none of the various back seat apparatus ended up jamming into the square of my back.

I lay there looking at the stars through the car’s moonroof. The desert sky is big and wide. Even when camping alone, I point out the constellations I know as if I’m teaching a child. Then I explore the sky for shapes that look familiar and drag the dregs of my brain for long-lost astrono my class knowledge.*

Then as the darkness settled, the desert ampli fied every noise. Carabin ers tink-tink-tinked as my neighbor campers returned from a night climb, their laughter amplified off the boulder walls. Gravel crunched as campers head ed for the bathroom. Wind surfed the ridges before dropping in and whistling

through the Joshua Trees in the valley.

Rodents skittered be low, and long after dark ness fell completely, a pack of coyotes howled at the rising moon—or more like ly a poor rabbit they were chasing — with such feroc ity I couldn’t help sitting up against the back of the pas senger seat to listen.

All of this is a long-winded way of saying there are many reasons I don’t sleep well in the des ert, and when I awake to the purple and red sky not long after dawn, I really want coffee. This week I had two options, both of which I pur sued. They are as follows.

Morning one, I crawled out of my warm and com

fortable bag, popped the hatch, and dropped to the ground. I heated up water on our propane camp stove, hand-ground roasted coffee beans from Steady State Roasting — tasting notes include chocolate, caramel, and plum — and brewed a

single cup on an Aeropress coffee brewer.

The Aeropress is a plas tic contraption containing a tube with a paper filter and a grate at one end that holds the coffee and then anoth er slightly narrower tube with a rubber stopper that is pressed down in the first tube. The pressure forces the water through the fil ter into the coffee cup. Fun fact, the inventor of the Aeropress also invented the flying disc with the hole in the middle that we toss around at the beach.

The coffee I brewed in the Aeropress was rich and creamy. The chocolate and caramel flavors enhanced the joy I felt as I settled back into a lounge chair to watch the morning light grow white and the sky turn blue until the warmth of the sun’s rays started peaking over Ryan Mountain onto the campground.

Morning two, I got out of the back of the car through the hatch only to get right back into the driver seat. I fired up the engine, ad justed the radio to an indie rock station, and pulled out of the campground, off the gravel, and back onto the blacktop headed for town. I passed the Hall of Horrors and Hemingway and Quail

Revisiting Ranch 45, where steak is the star

in Oceanside.

Aron and Pam definite ly have put their combined experience to good use at the fabulous Ranch 45. Lis ten to a deeper dive into both of their back stories on Lick the Plate on The Mightier 1090 at www.lickthe-plate.com.

Before I get into their newish dinner service, I have to make note of one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a while. After we re corded the radio portion of our interview, I ordered up their Dutch Steak & Eggs with a Brandt Beef Dutch Steak, two Eben-Haezer eggs, hash browns and a roasted tomato salsa.

I’ll go out on a limb here and say it was the best steak, eggs and hash brown combo I’ve had. EbenHaezer is a free-range egg ranch founded in 1955 in Ramona and it produces some mighty fine eggs.

is the first time I’ve had it grilled and it blew me away. The grilled flavor combined with their Harissa-Horse radish sauce and charred lemon is one of a kind and I highly recommend it.

We split the sizable Wedge Salad with Brandt Beef Bacon and I should mention there is a nice-look ing Smoked Ahi Tostada among the starters.

star, but a Kagoshima A5 Wagyu is offered for those seeking meat perfection. I went with my favorite cut: the 12-ounce Brandt Ribeye and my seafaring compan ion Captain Mark Mihelich chose the Brandt Filet Mi gnon. Both were cooked to medium rare perfection.

It’s not all about steak, though. Ranch 45 offers a Beef Stew, Chicken Pail lard, Pan Seared Ocean Trout and a Veal Milanese along with its take on the Drugstore Burger.

SinceI first visited Ranch 45 in 2019 there have been some recent changes that piqued my interest enough to revisit this gourmet out post on Via De La Valle in Solana Beach.

The first is its new din ner service and the second is owner Pam Schwartz bringing on her husband and accomplished chef Aron Schwartz to run the kitchen. I featured Aron several years ago when he was the chef at the Marina Kitchen at the San Diego

Marriot Marquis. Aron is a San Diego native, a Torrey Pines grad uate who attended the Cu linary Institute of America and met Pam, who was also a student there at the time.

His culinary road to Ranch 45 is impressive. Post-graduation, Aron land ed a position as the sous chef for Charlotte Restau rant, a small food and wine-focused restaurant in Lakeville, Connecticut.

After that it was on to Las Vegas where he worked as sous chef for the French

restaurant Lutèce at The Venetian, a great training ground for any chef. Follow ing his time in Las Vegas, Aron returned to San Di ego to work for Bernard’O Restaurant, then Marina Kitchen.

Pam’s culinary resume is equally impressive. Af ter graduating from CIA, she worked primarily front of the house and manage ment positions in Atlanta, Las Vegas and New York. In San Diego, she managed Ar terra, Pamplemousse Grille and Hello Betty Fish House

Brandt Beef is also fea tured prominently on the menu and in the meat case. It’s located in Brawley and has been in business since the early 1900s. Brandt Beef feeds its animals a vegetarian corn-based diet without hormones and is an tibiotic free.

The breakfast and lunch menu has a variety of tempting delights. The Ranch 45 Salad, Brandt Burger, House Smoked Pas trami Sandwich and the Smoked Tri Tip Sandwich are all standouts.

Besides my dally into that fabulous breakfast, this visit was about dinner and that was a standout as well. First up was the Grilled Shrimp Cocktail. Being somewhat of a shrimp cock tail freak, I’ll admit this

When I see risotto on a menu it’s almost a given I’m going to try one of my favor ite dishes ever. We decided to give that a split also as we had beef on our minds for entrees. It was cooked to perfection with an interest ing twist of chunks of Vella Dry Jack cheese. It was a perfect complement to the meat fest that was on the way.

The Butcher Shop Se lection, as they call it, is the star of the show at Ranch 45. Again, Brandt is the

We sat on the very com fortable outdoor dog-friend ly patio, and it should be noted that a major expan sion is underway with a full retail store and expanded butcher’s counter.

Ranch 45 is open sev en days a week for break fast and lunch and Thurs day-Saturday for dinner and is offering a new Wednesday Bistro menu with discounted wine and an everything under $20 menu. Their full service ca tering is also very popular. Kids’ menu is available.

Ranch 45 is located at 512 Via de la Valle, suite 102 in Solana Beach. For more information, visit ranch45.com.

County Supervisor Desmond talks with residents at Silvergate San Marcos on key concerns for seniors

SAN MARCOS, CA –

October 27, 2022 – More than 30 inquisitive residents and team members from Sil vergate San Marcos -- the area’s premier senior living community -- turned out for an informative presentation by County Supervisor Jim Desmond on Tuesday, Oc tober 18 to hear an update on key issues relevant to seniors in the community. The 45-minute discussion focused on several topics, including mental health, homelessness, and the cur rent state of the Covid pan demic in California.

“We know seniors can have a hard time getting out, which is why we be lieve it’s important to bring intriguing programs like this directly to them right where they live,” said Joan Rink-Carroll, Executive Director for Silvergate San Marcos. “Having access to relevant speakers is a true benefit to living here, and it’s exactly these types of events that make Silvergate so unique among senior liv ing communities. There are so many more unique expe riences like this coming to the community in the com ing weeks.”

Desmond, who is a U.S. Navy Veteran and north San Diego County resident, currently serves as a board member for the San Diego County Water Authority, the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), the San Onofre Nuclear Gen erating Station Removal Board and the North Coun ty Transit District (NCTC).

While not a career politi cian, Desmond spent more than a decade as Mayor of San Marcos while simulta neously working as a pilot for Delta Airlines before re tiring in 2020.

During his speech, the Supervisor gave residents a

robust overview of what he -- as one of five district Su pervisors -- has responsibili ty for on a day-to-day basis.

He described the primary uses of the $7 billion budget they oversee, along with the improvements he’s seeking in county health services, roads and traffic, homeless services, tax collection and many other areas affecting seniors. His talk also ad dressed issues such as men tal health and what’s being done to assist those in need; the growing population of San Marcos and what im provements to the commu nity he believes will help support that growth; safety upgrades through highly trafficked areas; and, how law enforcement’s numbers can be bolstered to keep the citizens of San Diego safe.

“I was pleased to attend this event today to learn more about the Supervisor’s plans,” said Joan Slavinski, a resident of Silvergate who previously owned a floral business in town, served on the local planning board and has resided in San Marcos for more than two decades.

“I went into this discussion a little apprehensive. Poli tics are very personal, but when my husband and I left

mentarily until a barista pops out from a doorway shouting your name.

the event, we felt very sat isfied with the Supervisor’s answers. It left us with an impressed feeling.”

“We appreciate the Su pervisor taking the time to come out and share his views with our residents directly during what we know is a busy political season,” said David Petree, Chief Exec utive Officer of AmeriCare Health & Retirement, the parent company to the Sil vergate retirement commu nities in San Diego County.

Bill Feeney, a former Boston police officer and resident of San Marcos since 2001 said, “I have voted for Desmond a couple of times before. He has deep ties with the community. I want ed to get some time with him during this discussion to see how his views and opinions have shifted with time. I’m glad Silvergate brought him in to speak to us so that I could ask him questions per sonally.”

Bringing local politi cians like Desmond into Sil vergate to engage with res idents is part of the senior living community’s ongoing program of onsite activities and events. The year-round roster of events at Silver gate offers a wide range of

educational opportunities peppered with regular ap pearances from local politi cians, well-known authors, historians, astronomers, ed ucators, health professionals and subject matter experts. These programs are one of the many ways Silvergate is making every day matter for its residents.

MiraCosta gets grant for stem cell careers

By Staff

OCEANSIDE — MiraCosta College has received a state grant of almost $2.9 million that will be used to offer in ternships, mentoring, and financial support to en courage students to pursue careers in stem cell re search and manufacturing.

The college was one of 16 California public col leges and universities that received grants totaling $46 million from the Cal ifornia Institute for Re generative Medicine, the state’s stem cell agency that was created in 2004 following passage of a $3 billion bond measure to en courage stem cell research.

Mike Fino, dean of mathematics and sciences at MiraCosta College, said students will be placed in internships, partner with a mentor working in the stem cell industry, and re ceive financial support.

“This will broaden participation,” he said.

“We will bring more stu dents who are underrep resented into the fields of regenerative medicine and cell-based manufacturing

Springs on my way to the West Entrance.**

Out of the park, I passed desert homes remod eled and painted for AirB nB, and my phone began to ping with unseen texts and e-mails and notifications.

At the intersection with the Old West-themed bar, I turned right.

The building that hous es Joshua Tree Coffee Com pany isn’t open to the pub lic. To get to the coffee, you pass down an outdoor hall way into an open courtyard painted teal. A tree splits the walkway, forcing you to choose left or right. You’ll likely see other guests wait ing even if you get there early.

Around the back of the building is a pop-up tent where a cashier takes your order — mine was a sin gle-origin black drip from Bali — and punches it into a handheld terminal.

You’ll pay and wait mo

I brought my own mug, but they didn’t use it, which was a bummer. I assume it was a policy instituted during the pandemic, and I won’t fault anyone for their efforts at Covid-safety. My coffee came in a pink cup with the blue silhouette of a Joshua Tree adorning the side.

There is a large seat ing patio with picnic tables down a set of stairs behind the building. Sporadic bench seating is closer to the order station, but sitting here in the courtyard is not why I’m here in the desert.

I got back in the car and returned the way I came, to wards the wide-open Josh ua Tree sky free of social media and wi-fi and e-mails.

I waved my National Parks annual pass at a smiling Park Ranger and reen tered the park. I followed the curves past oversized boulders and fields of Josh ua Trees. I turned onto the

satellite road at Cap Rock. A few miles on, the road be gan to climb, and I followed a long sweeping curve to the end of the blacktop.

I dumped my Joshua Tree coffee into my own mug, wandered up a short

path, and looked out over the valley below. The sun was fully up now, the air crisp and clear, and the scale of the view tremen dous. Far to my left, I could see the glint off the surface of the Salton Sea. To the

right, mountain peaks punc ture the sky at more than 10,000 feet of elevation.

The coffee keeps my hand warm, and I can’t help but sigh into the Coachella Valley after taking my first sip. Down below, the San

Andreas crack in the Earth runs east to west. It is a pow erful visual reminder that I should not take the calm of the morning for granted.

I take another sip of my coffee. I lean my knees against the rock wall and let my body rest. I close my eyes. The wind begins to pick up speed, whistling past me, headed for the Joshua Trees in the valley far behind me.

*Last week, I bought a deck of Night Sky playing cards from the Joshua Tree Park HQ. They show the constellations and the sea son they are best viewed. I was thrilled to know the shape I thought was some thing was, in fact, Perseus, the slayer of Medusa.

where I stood, I could see three, tiny white splotches on the sheer rock face on the far side of the Crook ed River.

“Are those climbers,” I asked a woman next to me who probably had better distance vision than myself.

“Yes,” she said, “and there are some there, there, and over there.”

The index finger at the end of her outstretched arm pointed out, counterclock wise, what is not an unusu al sight here at Smith Rock State Park in Central Ore gon.

Smith Rock, a dra matic, jagged feature that rises abruptly out of the High Desert, is considered the birthplace of sport climbing and a rock climb er’s mecca. Just minutes away from Terrebonne, the park claims to offer the third-most-difficult climb ing route in the world.

Things called volcanic welded tuff and basalt col umns with jam cracks and stemming corners draw thousands who love all types of rock climbing.

For years, Central Ore gon has been a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds - campers, skiers, bik ers and hikers. But a solid indoor scene that encom passes art, music, theater, museums, bars and restau rants is emerging.

First, a geography les son.

Central Oregon or the High Desert as locals of ten call it, includes Bend (population 98,000); Red mond (32,000); Sisters (2,700); Terrebonne (1,700); and the Confederated Tribes of The Warm Springs Reservation (5,200).

The altitude of the four cities is roughly 3,200 feet and the reservation sits at about 1,500 feet. About 4.5 million visit the area annu ally, and while summer is high season, it’s also toasty. Spring and fall are ideal

for both outdoor and indoor pursuits.

During my three-plus day stay in the area, I head quartered at the Waypoint Hotel in Bend on Highway 97, the lifeblood artery of Oregon’s High Desert. The spacious, tastefully and practically renovated rooms start at $135.

The hotel is a 10- to 15-minute walk to the leafy, historic district of down town and its shops, galler ies, excellent restaurants and the iconic 1940s Tower Theatre, a renovated Art Deco gem on Wall Street. It’s the perfect venue for the annual Bend Film Fes tival.

I began the day with a walk through the ver dant Drake Park and dis covered the appropriately named Mirror Pond, then it’s breakfast at the near by Blissful Spoon, where everything is gluten-free, including pastries.

Next, a screening of the film “Being Michelle." The powerful documentary fol lows the challenging life of a 30-something deaf, autis tic woman who finds solace and healing in her art and the couple who takes up her cause.

Director Atin Mehta spoke at length with the au dience after the screening.

“We had no idea how the story would turn out,” Mehta said of his film, but the gamble paid off. The story grabs filmgoers im mediately and holds them until the end.

Happening the same weekend was one of six concerts presented by the annual Jazz at the Oxford, staged at the well-appoint ed Oxford Hotel in down town Bend. The first concert of the 11th season featured five-time, Grammy-nom inated jazz singer Karrin Allyson and I learned that I was lucky to be there, as tickets were hard to come by.

The woman next to me said she was thrilled to be there because “you have to wait until someone dies to

get season tickets.”

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Although you love being the focus of everyone’s attention, it’s a good idea to take a few steps back right now to just watch the action. What you see can help with an upcoming decision.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

“Caution” continues to be your watch word this week, as a former colleague tries to reconnect old links. There are still some dark places that need to be illuminated.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

Making a good first impression is important. Revealing your often hid den sense of humor can help you get through some of the more awkward situations.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Are you taking that Cancer Crab image too seriously? Lighten up. Instead of complaining about your problems, start resolving them. A friend would be happy to help.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A wid ening distance between you and that special person needs to be handled with honesty and sensitivity. Don’t let jealousy create an even greater gap between you two.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. Your handling of a delicate family matter rates kudos. But, no resting on your laurels just yet. You still have to resolve that on-the-job problem.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might surprise everyone by being unusually impulsive this week. But even level-headed Libras need to do the unexpected now and then.

SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem ber 21) A period of turmoil gives way to a calmer, more settled environ ment. Use this quieter time to patch up neglected personal and/or profession al relationships.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A new relationship could create resentment among fami ly and friends who feel left out of your life. Show them you care by making more time for them.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Concentrate on complet ing all your unfinished tasks before deadline. You’ll then be able to use this freed-up time to research new career opportunities.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Feb ruary 18) You’re right to try to help colleagues resolve their heated dif ferences. But keep your objectivity, and avoid showing any favoritism between the two sides.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your personal life continues to show positive changes. Enjoy this happy turn of events, by all means. But be careful not to neglect your workplace obligations.

BORN THIS WEEK: People of all ages look to you for advice and encouragement. You would make an excellent counselor.

CITY OF CARLSBAD Summary of Ordinance CS-438 per Government Code §36933(c)

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE 2, CHAPTER 2.42 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND TITLE 22 HISTORIC PRESERVATION

The ordinance contains a comprehensive update to the city’s Historic Preservation Ordinance, including adopting a local Mills Act program.

The ordinance revises the criteria for designating historic resources, historic landmarks and historic districts to be consistent with state law. The ordinance specifies that only the property owner can initiate the process for designating a property as a historic resource. If the Historic Preservation Commission recommends, and the City Council determines that a property qualifies for the local register, then the property is designated as a historic resource. Removing the property from the local register follows the same process.

The ordinance eliminates references to the 1991 Cultural Resource Survey because the survey was deleted by the City Council in 1993.

Under the ordinance, work on a historic resource will require a permit and property owners cannot remove their property from the list of historic resources upon request. If the application for work is on a historic resource subject to a historical property contract – that is, a Mills Act contract -- then the City Planner would review the scope of work to make sure it is consistent with the terms of the contract, the Secretary of Interior’s Standards and any applicable local guidelines or standards adopted, and issue a permit administratively. If the application is for a property not subject to a historical property contract or cannot be issued administratively, then the Historic Preservation Commission must hold a public hearing to consider the request.

Proposed Mills Act program:

Important features of the Mills Act program, established by the state legislation and incorporated into the ordinance include:

• The Mills Act program is a voluntary program.

• The contract is between the city and the owner of a designated historic resource.

• The initial contract is for 10 years. At the end of each year, the term is automatically extended one year, unless the owner or the city gives notice not to renew.

• The agreement provides for periodic inspections to determine compliance with the contract.

• The penalty for breach of contract is 12.5% of the current property value, payable to the San Diego County assessor.

• The basic requirement is that the owner preserve, rehabilitate and maintain the historical and architectural character of the property.

• The contract runs with the property, so its benefits and obligations automatically transfer to each new owner and the property is not reassessed to full market value upon sale.

• The amount of tax reduction depends on a number of variables. The largest tax reductions usually occur for properties purchased or reassessed in recent years and at high market values. For properties with existing low assessments, taxes cannot increase due to a Mills Act contract, but it is possible that they would not decrease.

The ordinance also makes changes to Chapter 2.42 to clarify the purpose and authorization of the Historic Preservation Commission to assist the commission, the city staff who work with the commission and the public better understand all matters with which the commission is concerned.

A certified copy of the full text of the proposed ordinance is posted in the Office of the City Clerk, 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, CA 92008.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, REPEALING AND REPLACING CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTERS 18.04 (BUILDING CODE), 18.06 (UNIFORM HOUSING CODE), 18.08 (MECHANICAL CODE, TO BE RETITLED HISTORICAL BUILDING CODE), 18.12 (ELECTRICAL CODE), 18.16 (PLUMBING CODE), 18.18 (SOLAR ENERGY CODE), 18.19 (DANGEROUS BUILDING CODE), 18.20 (RESIDENTIAL CODE), 18.21 (GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS CODE), AND 18.30 (ENERGY CONSERVATION REGULATIONS), AND ADDING CHAPTERS 18.03 (GENERAL PROVISIONS), 18.09 (EXISTING BUILDING CODE), AND 18.10 (MECHANICAL CODE), BASED ON THE 2022 CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE AS AMENDED

The ordinance proposes to adopt by reference the 2022 Building Standards Code, Code of Regulations Title 24, into the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The 2022 Building Standards Code was adopted by the State Building Standards Commission and will be enforced statewide effective Jan. 1, 2023. Local jurisdictions are required to enforce these regulations as the minimum standards for construction throughout the State.

The 2022 Building Standards Code includes the International Building Code, National Electrical Code, International Residential Code, Uniform Mechanical Code, Uniform Plumbing Code, and Green Building Code.

The City Council is proposing to adopt the state model codes with amendments to some of the building standards to address locally unique topographical, geological, climatic, and environmental conditions. The local amendments being considered can be categorized into two types: 1) changes to building standards, and 2) changes that are administrative in nature. The proposed amendments to the state model code building standards are few and minor in scope and intended to address unique conditions and situations. The proposed changes to the building standards relate to:

• Noise standards near the airport or freeway

• Screening of roof-mounted equipment and rooftop hazards

• Roof rainfall drainage systems

• Fire classification rating for solar photovoltaic systems

• Green Building Code, Energy Code, and Climate Action Plan:

o Single-family home service water heating systems – requires solar or recovered energy of at least 60%.

o Non-residential service water heating systems – requires solar or recovered energy of at least 40%.

o Service water heating in restaurants of a certain size or valuation (at least 1,000 square feet or $200,000).

o Energy efficiency upgrades such as duct sealing, attic insulation, cool roofs, lighting packages, etc. in existing residential buildings of a certain valuation ($60,000 or more).

o Non-residential on-site renewable energy – 1% of electricity in projects of a certain size or valuation (greater than 1,000 square feet or $200,000).

o Non-residential solar photovoltaic required in projects of a certain size or valuation (greater than 2,000 square feet of roof area, or 75% of existing floor area, and $1 million).

Additional administrative amendments are intended to streamline, clarify, and improve the plan check review and permitting and inspection process. The proposed changes that are administrative in nature include:

• Make residential building permits valid for 12 months.

• Establish an appeal process in which appeals are heard and decided by trained professionals.

• Allowing the issuance of partial permits to allow applicants to initiate limited work (i.e., underground plumbing or electrical work, trenching for footings) while permit reviews are being completed.

• Provide more specificity in the applicable fees that might apply when obtaining a building permit or related cost-recovery service, including but not limited to investigation fees, preliminary review fees, and reinspection fees.

• Clarify when a remodel or addition qualifies as new construction, which would require the entire existing structure to meet current code standards.

• Clarify the role and duties of the building official to carry out procedures relating to violations associated with unpermitted or illegal construction projects.

A certified copy of the full text of the proposed ordinance is posted in the Office of the City Clerk, 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, CA 92008.

What Burn Ban?

Things got a little heat ed — which is to say 73 vehicles were utterly con sumed by raging flames — at the annual fall festival at the Robinson Family Farm in Temple, Texas on Oct. 15, an event that features a pumpkin patch, hayrides, live music, kids’ games and more. The Bell County Fire Marshall’s Office is seek ing information about an attendee who, according to witnesses reporting on social media, flicked a cig arette butt in the grassy parking lot, which, com bined with the gusty winds and dry conditions that had already prompted the coun ty to issue a burn ban, most likely started the blaze. “I have to say that is the most exciting and expensive pumpkin patch we’ve been to,” one attendee posted on Facebook after the disaster claimed their family van.

Unsportsmanlike

David Alan Taylor, 41, of Pensacola, Florida, did not follow the guidelines for safe tackling recom mended by the various youth, college and profes sional football organiza tions when he charged onto the practice field on Sept. 20, donned a helmet, got into a football stance and charged his target, burying his helmet in said target’s chest before grabbing him by the arms and pushing him to the ground. But it wasn’t Taylor’s form that got him in trouble; it was the fact that his victim was 9 years old. The Pensaco la News Journal reported that shortly before demon strating his rusty football skills, Taylor had become

enraged upon seeing his son being overpowered by the victim during a oneon-one tackling drill. The tackled youth was not seri ously hurt, and Taylor was booked to the Escambia County jail on a first-de gree felony count of aggra vated child abuse and a misdemeanor count of dis orderly conduct.

Awesome!

When your horse runs off with a herd of wild mus tangs, let him go, because man, he’s gone. That was the reality Shane Adams of Fielding, Utah, had to accept when his 10-yearold horse, Mongo, joined a passing herd in the middle of the night during a camp ing trip eight years ago.

Adams reported his horse missing and searched the area regularly for years, to no avail. But Yahoo Insider reported that the Bureau of Land Management recent ly contacted Adams with incredible news: Mongo had been found. The horse is seriously underweight due to the scarcity of food in the region where he and the herd were roaming, but Adams said Mongo is in good health and has not forgotten his training.

Adams said his life had taken a downward turn in the years since Mongo disappeared; he and his wife divorced, and an auto accident in 2021 left him disabled. However, he now feels things are looking up: “My life is like down in the dumps, like the car acci dent. I lost my house, I lost everything. I got my horse back though.” [Yahoo! Life, 10/12/2022]

Rare Vintage

A pair of Levi’s jeans found in an abandoned mine in the American

West sold for a staggering $87,400 at a New Mexico auction on Oct. 1, reported CNN.com. What was so spe cial about the jeans? They dated back to the 1880s, and while it’s not uncom mon for “denim archaeol ogists” to find jeans from that period of history, it’s incredibly rare to find them so well-preserved. “There’s a couple of soft spots on the jeans that could use a bit of reinforcement, but oth erwise they’re super-duper solid jeans,” said Zip Ste venson, who runs a denim repair shop in Los Angeles and placed the winning bid with a partner. Though Stevenson would prefer the jeans were purchased and put on display in a museum, he said he would consider selling them to a private buyer. “I could easily imag ine Johnny Depp or Jason Momoa wearing them,” Stevenson said.

Smelly Situations

— An overturned semi on I-95 in Cumberland County, North Carolina, on Oct. 18 gave commuters more than the usual traf fic accident inconvenience. That’s because when 22,000 pounds of catfish and 150 gallons of diesel fuel hits the road ... it stinks. State troopers told WBTW-13 that the semi driver was unhurt in the crash, which was caused by another driv er pulling in front of him. [WBTV-13, 10/18/2022]

— The Fairfield Sun Times reported that Ollie the black Labrador was safe and sound, but very stinky, after spending a few hours in the sewer behind his owners’ home in Holbury, Hampshire, England on Oct. 18. The dog was miss ing when his owners re turned to the house earlier

in the day after a brief out ing, and it was discovered that he had fallen through a manhole in the backyard into the sewer about three meters below. Neighbors were asked not to flush their toilets during the res cue operation. [Fairfield Sun Times, 10/18/2022]

People With Issues

Rorie Susan Woods, 55, of Hadley, Massachusetts, is facing multiple assault and battery charges after she took extreme measures in an attempt to prevent what she and other protes tors believed was a wrong ful eviction being carried out by sheriff’s deputies in Longmeadow on Oct. 12. WWLP-22 reported that Woods drove an SUV haul ing a trailer loaded with beehives to the residence of Alton King, the homeowner being served an eviction notice. While wearing a protective beekeeping suit, Woods shook the beehives, unleashing a swarm of an gry bees on the officers, three of whom were allergic to bee stings. Sheriff Nick Cocchi said Ross’ actions could have gotten someone killed: “We had one staff member go to the hospi tal and luckily, he was all right or she would be fac ing manslaughter charges.” [WWLP-22, 10/20/2022]

I was getting a CT scan for my spleen area, when it was discovered that I had enlarged pelvic veins in my groin. I don't have pel vic pain, nor do I have pain with sex. So, the only symp toms I do have, which may or may not be related, are bloating and some constipa tion.

I have seen a vascular surgeon and a urogynocol

ogist to ask about this con dition and if I need "treat ment" for it. Both were rather vague, saying if I'm not experiencing pain, I should just get it imaged every year. Is that sound advice? Can the veins twist and cause blockage? Can they cause a blood clot? I can't really get any info on it. -- J.F.

ANSWER: Although advanced imaging like CT and MRI scans have led physicians to be able to make more precise diag noses than before, there is an issue of what to do with "incidental" findings. Many people have written to me about small tumors (which are far more common than we thought), but enlarged pelvic veins are another example of an incidental finding.

Some women do have a condition called "pel vic congestion syndrome," which is a cause of pelvic pain that is worsened by prolonged standing or sex ual activity. This condition is found in women in the reproductive age group, especially those who have had multiple children, but

is not found in menopaus al women. Since you aren't in the age group and don't have symptoms, you clearly don't have pelvic congestion syndrome.

Dilated veins in the legs are simply called var icose veins, and they are often due to loss in function of the valves in our legs as we age. Pelvic vein enlarge ment is the same thing: Veins get bigger as we age.

There are cases of blood clots in the pelvic veins, but it is not clear whether a per son like you is at increased risk. I don't see the need to repeat the imaging studies.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Why do multivitamins in variably provide some in gredients with more than 100% -- and some with less than 100% -- of the daily re quirement? Why aren't all ingredients 100%? -- D.H.

ANSWER: 100% of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) is intend ed to provide the nutrient requirements for about 98% of the population. Most people will get what they need from food. Many North Americans feel that

more vitamins are better or decide to take a vitamin pill as an insurance policy against an inadequate diet. Both of these have been reasonable hypotheses, but many studies have been done and have not shown any convincing benefit of taking vitamins in absence of a clear medical reason for deficiency.

Vitamin manufacturers put in large amounts mostly for marketing: People are more likely to buy the pill that has 1,000% of B12, for example, since it must be better than the one with 500%. In fact, your body will simply excrete more B12 if you take more, so the supplement with 1,000% of a water-soluble vitamin like B12 is not any better for you.

However, a few nutri ents in multivitamins are dangerous at high levels: Vitamin A has a high risk of causing birth defects at high doses, and beta caro tene promotes lung cancer growth in smokers, as two examples. Responsible vi tamin manufacturers don't put in doses of vitamins that will be toxic if taken as directed.

Court Jester

A municipal judge in Cleveland, Ohio, was or dered to be removed from the bench on indefinite sus pension on Oct. 18 and will undergo evaluations for her physical and mental health after a long series of bizarre incidents and behavior, the Columbus Dispatch re ported. The Ohio Supreme Court took action after Judge Pinkey S. Carr wore sneakers, spandex shorts, T-shirts and even tank tops while sitting the bench — a bench that had become lit tered with so many cups, dolls and novelty items that Carr’s own attorney described it as “resembling a flea market.” The 58-page complaint filed by the Ohio Supreme Court states that, among many other inci dents, Carr repeatedly dis cussed the television show “P-Valley” and joked about giving lenient sentences and accepting kickbacks with attorneys and defen dants while court was in session. When a prosecut ing attorney had not yet arrived for a hearing, Carr is quoted as having stated, “The prosecutor’s not here. Let’s see how much we can get away with.” A tempo rary replacement for Carr will be appointed by Gov ernor Mike DeWine and will sit the bench until vot ers elect a new judge in a future election.

Ewwwww WRGB in Albany re ported the arrests of Chrys tal Thomas, 33, on Oct. 4, and Austin Smith, 20, on Oct. 15, for the duo’s part in the illegal tattooing of a 10-year-old boy. Thomas, the boy’s mother, claimed she was not in the room when Smith permanently inked the child’s name on his arm “in full-size block letters.” Authorities were made aware of the situation when the boy asked a school nurse for Vaseline to apply to the tattoo. Both Thomas and Smith were charged with endangering the wel fare of a child, and Smith was additionally charged with second-degree unlaw fully dealing with a child.

The Passing Parade

On Oct. 5, the Shizuo ka (Japan) prefectural police were alerted to the presence of an unattended attache case, partially hid den among some roadside bushes in the Shimomata neighborhood of Kakega wa. Sora News 24 reported that the bomb squad was dispatched, traffic in the area was shut down, and an onsite command post was set up to assess the case and safeguard against an explosion, but when inves tigators finally opened the case, they were greeted not with a bomb, but with a collection of sex toys. No one was injured, and the site was cleared after about three and a half hours, but online commentors seized the opportunity to get off some zingers, including “Not a bomb, but still dis charge-related,” and “I’m sure whoever forgot their attache case there is really hard up right now.” [Sora News 24, 10/6/2022]

Becoming

better writer

Meaning if you’ve read this far without your eyes glazing over, you’re signifi cantly different from the overwhelming majority of the population.

know I’m a stick ler for good com munications, of tentimes cringing at what passes today for quality composition.

Too often I’ve encoun tered emails with dead links, websites missing pages and sales letters with typographical errors.

At great personal ex pense I’ve learned the fol lowing lessons. Convinced we’re all selling to someone in some way, I’m providing these thoughts for improv ing your writing after com pleting your “brain dump.”

1) BE CLEAR . If you don’t know your objective, the reader won’t be able to figure it out either.

2) INFORM . Answer audience questions before they’re asked.

3) BE CONSISTENT Write like you speak. And yes, I REALLY speak this way.

4) BE QUICK . Most people have a short atten tion span; get to the point ASAP.

5) ANTICIPATE . Ask yourself, “What’s in it for the reader?”

6) BE A SOLUTION Address readers’ concerns.

7) BE ACCURATE . Al ways check your facts BE FORE you publish.

8) BE BOLD. Don’t be afraid to make bold FAC TUAL statements.

9) KNOW YOUR READER . Keep messages suited to your audience’s demographics.

10) BE BRIEF. Don’t overdo the details.

11) SPEAK APPRO PRIATELY. Despite the headlines, a positive tone will engage more readers than a harsh one.

12) GET INPUT. Ask others to read your draft for a different perspective. Take their criticisms seri ously.

13) INCLUDE A CTA . Marketing materials with out a Call to Action are wasted opportunities.

14) PROOFREAD Proof and edit your work. Then have someone else do it too.

15) BE SUCCINCT Keep it organized … and short.

The thing is lots of folks who can speak figure they can also write persua sively. Actually, crafting solid, effective messag ing is an art. Making one word do the job of eight is a time-consuming, frustrat ing challenge.

And the kicker? Writ ing short, effective copy is harder than writing long winded prose. Attention spans are getting shorter, and it’s not uncommon to have just a few seconds to grab attention with your letter, text, email, head line, or website.

Regardless of what you’re selling, good com munications is critical to reaching your objectives. Next time you’re fashion ing your message, edit first drafts using these ideas as a filter.

You might be surprised by the results.

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

The Grauer School to host Discover Grauer Day open house

Encinitas, CA – The Grauer School welcomes the community to learn about renowned indepen dent education at its Dis cover Grauer Day Open House on Saturday, No vember 5, 2022, between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm.

Families can stop by anytime for a student-led campus tour and a chance to talk with Grauer faculty members, current parents and students about the school’s unique programs. Stuart Grauer, Founder and Head of School, will give a brief overview of the school’s philosophy approx imately every 20 minutes. RSVPs are recommended at grauerschool.com.

For 31 years, The Grau er School has balanced humanitarian, relation ship-based education with college preparatory rigor.

As a small school by design, with approximate ly 160 students in grades 7-12 and a 7:1 student to teacher ratio, The Grauer School emphasizes Socrat ic teaching, expeditionary learning, and meaningful mentoring relationships.

Dr. Grauer notes, “Our goal is to provide a struc ture that promotes learn ing both inside and outside of the classroom, lifelong relationships, clear stu dent voices, self-reflection, and creativity among our

students. Our students graduate with clear voices. They will make a differ ence, and they know it.”

Through The Grauer School’s Expeditionary Learning program, stu dents travel locally and abroad.

These expeditions provide opportunities for students to think on their feet, make lasting friend ships, and offer humanitar ian and ecological service.

The goal of the school’s expeditionary learning program is for students to connect with each oth er and faculty mentors outside of the traditional classroom setting.

The Grauer School pro vides an inspiring range of STEM (Science, Tech nology, Engineering, and Mathematics) options for students. Morgan Brown, STEM Center Coordina tor notes, “We maintain a very successful robotics program, led by our Shock wave Robotics team which has competed at the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) World Competitions an im pressive six times.

We also offer engi neering design,computer science, and graphic de sign electives. Our STEM classes provide hands-on opportunities that direct ly correlate to and expand upon what students have

learned in the classroom.”

The Grauer School’s extensive extra-curricular programs include music and performing arts, visu al arts, photography, film studies, leadership, and community service.

Students also have a wide variety of no-cut sports to choose from, in cluding archery, basket ball, cross-country, flag football, golf, soccer, surf ing, tennis, track and field, and volleyball.

Dana Abpla nalp-Diggs, Grauer’s Prin cipal, says “Our small size affords students greater opportunities for lead ership and inclusion in a variety of activities they might not have access to at a larger, more impersonal school.”

Shelley Joslin, Di rector of Counseling, re marks, “We believe that our emphasis on relation ship-driven education is the reason for the school’s superior college accep tance rates.

Last year, 96% of our graduates were accepted to one of their two top choice schools.

The connection with mentors is vital to the de velopment of engagement and self-advocacy and makes our students highly attractive to colleges and universities.”

TRIBE CELEBRATES

“Spirit Of The Valley,”

M arketplace News

Celebrating menopause – the end is just the beginning!

I don’t feel beautiful anymore. I feel old and wrinkled and my hair is thinning. I’m depressed and can’t sleep. “These are some of the ‘glass half emp ty’ comments that I often hear from my mature pa tients going through meno pause,” said Kari Lynn Purcott, MD, a board-cer tified obstetrician/gyne cologist at Pacific View OB/GYN, Tri-City Medical Center’s newest OB/GYN clinic. “But I try to encour age them to see the ‘glass half full’ and celebrate this time in their lives. Meno pause is the beginning of freedom from monthly pe riods, cramps and worrying about getting pregnant.”

“I also reinforce that menopause is a normal part of the aging process and that it is OK to talk about it,” added Dr. Purcott. “Women readily share issues related to pregnancy but are often afraid to open up about their experiences during menopause. I've seen the relief on my patients’ faces when they finally get over that fear and self-imposed shame. Once they ask ques tions and learn what is hap pening to their bodies, they realize that they are not ‘broken’ and feel empow ered. It makes me so happy to see them embrace this change.”

Menopause occurs when a woman’s ovaries no longer produce eggs and the level of estrogen and proges terone, female hormones, declines. A woman official ly reaches menopause only after it has been 12 months since her last period. From this point on, a woman can no longer have children and will be in “postmenopause.”

Women may begin to experience menopause symptoms during their mid to late forties, and most will reach this milestone by age 52, according to the Office on Women’s Health at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. This transition period, which may last about four years, is referred to as “perimeno

pause” and is often when women begin to see irregu larities in their periods and experience symptoms, such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and low li bido due to changes in hor mone levels.

“It’s important for women to understand that just like they are uniquely different, so too will be the ways in which they experi ence these symptoms and the treatments that work most effectively for them,” said Dr. Purcott. “Some women will only have few hot flashes throughout the day, while others will have many and these hot flashes can last for one to five min utes or more. Fortunately, there are several treatment options and lifestyle chang es to improve these various symptoms that may contin ue for years.”

Hormone therapy en tails either estrogen thera py or combination therapy (estrogen and progesterone) if a woman still has her uter us. It is sometimes called hormone replacement ther apy, or HRT, and the drug is synthetic (man-made). According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG), there are different forms of hor mone therapy: pills, skin

patches, gels and sprays are used to release the hormone into the bloodstream so that it travels to the appropriate part of the body, whereas vaginal rings, tablets and creams release the hormone directly into the vaginal tis sue. As with any prescrip tion medication, there may be some risks such as heart disease, stroke or breast cancer. Women should dis cuss dose, duration, regi men and route of admin istration with their doctor based on their individual needs.

“The standard of care for treating menopause symptoms is hormone ther apy,” said Dr. Purcott. “Lo cal vaginal treatments for dryness are very safe as they are at a lower dose and only affect that area of the body. Although some of my patients use supplements, I do not recommend them as they are only weakly supported by scientific ev idence, if at all. Similarly, hormone pellet therapy is a new option that may prove beneficial but is currently not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administra tion (FDA).”

Hormone pellet ther apy is an in-office, mini mally invasive procedure during which a doctor plac

es implants, smaller than a grain of rice, under the skin near the hip that slow ly and continuously release hormones over three to six months. These “compound ed bioidentical” hormone pellets contain a mixture of hormones that are derived from plants that mimic human hormones. These drugs are prescribed off-la bel by a physician, custom ized for each woman and mixed by a licensed phar macist.

Exercising, eating a healthy diet, losing weight, quitting smoking, meditating and getting enough sleep are all life style changes that may help to improve symptoms.

“Changes in a woman’s body from childbirth, age, menopause or genetics can weaken her pelvic floor and may cause urinary inconti nence,” added Dr. Purcott.

“Strengthening the muscles in the pelvic floor through Kegel exercises, can help. I often recommend a woman physical therapist who spe cializes in the female pelvic floor to work with my pa tients to get these muscles back in shape.”

Most symptoms will eventually subside over time and become more re lated to aging than meno pause. Since women are at greater risk for conditions such as heart disease, stroke and osteoporosis when they reach postmenopause, it is essential that they continue to see a doctor.

“As women, I think we're fabulous because we are,” said Dr. Purcott. “It may take a little bit more effort for a woman to un derstand her body and really get to know what's normal, which is why I am passionate about teaching my female patients about menopause, so that we can celebrate this time in their lives. The end is just the be ginning!”

To schedule an appoint ment with Dr. Purcott to discuss menopause, please call 760-476-2929, or visit Pacific View OB/GYN.

City Council Representative Kori Jensen’s Deep Roots in Oceanside

An Oceanside native, Kori Jensen is running for District 1 Oceanside City Council to tackle the issues of homelessness, en vironmental preservation, and economic revitaliza tion.

Jensen’s grandparents were successful employers and owned iconic busi nesses in Oceanside. Her father’s parents were the founders and operators of Scandia Bakery & Foun tain on Mission Avenue in downtown. Her moth er’s parents, both immi grants from Sonora, Mex ico, founded and built the successful Palomar Lin en Supply, a commercial laundry that served North County.

“Prior to the pandem ic, I worked in the alcohol, drug, and mental health field, and I saw the home less population growing exponentially,” she said. “What was strange to me about the lockdown re strictions was that the homeless population had no restrictions, no social distancing…and then you have a city council saying that there’s nothing we can do. I personally think that everyone on the street has a substance or mental health issue. They’re ba sically in survival mode… we have to build trust and show them the way and deal with the problems that got them onto the street…there’s a lot of dif ferent things that create the problem.”

Jensen said she was also motivated to run for office after growing con cerns surrounding sand loss and erosion in Oceans ide.

“The second most important thing to me in Oceanside is the sand is sue. A lot of people who don’t frequent the beach don’t realize what’s going on down here. I have seen erosion going on down there for decades…now

there’s hardly any san dy beach. It’s critical to tourism…somebody has to make sand the priority, and we should look at ev ery possible solution,” she said. “There are so many sand studies that the other communities have done, so we need to look and see what’s feasible for us. At this point, sand replace ment and retention require every measure possible.”

“Last, my goal is to bring back dog parks to Oceanside and establish limited access for the dogs at the Harbor Beach.”

Jensen also vehement ly denied accusations lev eled by one of her oppo nents, Darin Selneck, who claims that she doesn’t ac tually live in Oceanside.

“The only thing he [Selneck] has is to make people believe I’m not from here…that’s what they’re attacking…but the truth is that I was the only person who applied that has deep roots in this com munity, and those kind of roots were a threat to people like [Selneck] who just came to California,” Jensen said. “I do own property in Carlsbad, yes, but that was brought up as a distraction to take away from the issues at hand…unfortunately a lot of people believed this tac tic, and it caused people to become confused. To set the record straight, I live in Oceanside, I have deep roots in Oceanside period…he [Selneck] is a bureaucrat, a professional politician, calling people names. He’s a distraction, and some people will like that, but I think that the majority won’t.”
