Baypoint future in question
SMUSD rejects charter renewal bid
By Leo Place
SAN
MARCOS
— The San Marcos Unified School District has denied the renewal of a charter petition for Baypoint Preparatory Academy, with the small school facing possible closure after this academic year unless the California State Board of Education agrees to provide oversight.
Baypoint Prep has been operating in San Marcos since 2018, with around 200 students currently in grades TK-8. The school currently operates under a charter granted by the state education board that will expire in July 2026.
Although the school is overseen by the state, the education code requires requests for charter renewal to be submitted to the school district within the boundaries of which the school is located, which in this case is San Marcos Unified.
At a Sept. 11 meeting, after communicating for a few months regarding the charter petition, the San Marcos Unified board voted unanimously to deny the petition due to substantial fiscal and governance concerns, despite pleadings from Baypoint families.
The district stated that Baypoint’s petition provided unreasonable average daily attendance (ADA) assumptions for the upcoming years, leading to inflated anticipated revenue and spurring concerns about debt repayment if enrollment targets were not met.
“District staff believe that Baypoint’s enrollment assumptions are overly optimistic in order to justify
Shaffer forms legal defense fund
By Leo Place ENCINITAS —
Councilmember Luke Shaffer has formed a legal defense fund after being charged with a felony and two misdemeanors stemming from an apparent parking dispute with a resident.
The Councilman Luke Shaffer Legal Defense Fund, known as a controlled recipient committee, was officially created on Sept. 11, according to a Form 410 statement of organization filed with the city.
Community members have asked residents to donate to the fund in order to support Shaffer in fighting what they describe as
“politically motivated” charges filed by the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office last month. Shaffer was charged on Aug. 12 with felony assault, one misdemeanor count of hitand-run driving, damaging property, and one misdemeanor count of willful omission to perform the duty of a public officer. He has pleaded not guilty.
“Our community is facing a moment that tests fairness and
justice. Councilmember Luke Shaffer is now facing outlandish charges stemming from a parking incident,” reads a statement attributed to the Councilman Luke Shaffer Legal Defense Fund Committee on Instagram. “Show that Encinitas stands behind leaders who listen to residents, not special interests. Even a small gift makes a big difference. Together, we can ensure Luke gets the fair process every person deserves and send a clear message: Encinitas will not be intimidated.”

MAR
—
The City Council approved a $7.1 million contract with TC Construction last week for the next phase of utility undergrounding covering the area of Crest Canyon.
Work in the Crest Canyon undergrounding district, also known as District X1A, will involve the removal of 12,250 linear feet of overhead utility lines and 77 poles along portions of San Dieguito Drive, Oribia Road, and Crest Road, to be moved underground via 19,610 linear feet of trenching.
X1A/Crest Canyon is the third of eight total undergrounding districts in the city, following the completion of Tewa Court/10th Street in 2023 and 1A/ Stratford Court South earlier this year.
Construction is scheduled to begin in October and is expected to conclude in October 2026, followed by utility work by San Diego Gas & Electric through May 2027.
The city received six bids for the construction work, ranging from $6 million to $11 million, including three bids that came in under the engineer’s estimated cost of $8.9 million. Public contract code requires the city to award the contract to the party with the lowest responsive base bid.
Tri-Group Construction initially had the lowest base bid of around $6 million. However, shortly after submitting their bid, the group informed the city of a nearly $5 million clerical error, stating that the correct base bid would be just over $11 million.
After city staff allowed them to withdraw their proposal, TC Construction was the company with the second-lowest base bid at $7.128 million.
Teichert Construction, which completed work on the last undergrounding
district, had the next-lowest base bid of $8.6 million. Mayor Terry Gaasterland said she appreciated their good work on District 1A and lamented that they could not be awarded the contract for X1A.
“I’ve been so impressed with 1A, with the politeness, the efficiency, the kindness that our contractor has worked with,” Gaasterland said. “I think there was a lot of sadness when Teichert did not come in the lowest, but hopefully TC Construction will be as good to you all as Teichert has been to our neighborhood.”
Totaling construction work, construction management, geotechnical services, environmental monitoring, and contingency costs, city construction costs for X1A/Crest Canyon are estimated at around $8.7 million.
SDG&E estimates that its utility work for Crest Canyon/X1A, including installation of cable and connections and service cutovers, will cost around $3.6 million.
The total anticipated project cost — including pre-construction, construction, contingencies, and utilities — has been difficult to nail down in recent months, as the city awaited construction bids and utility estimates from SDG&E.
As of Sept. 8, the total project is estimated at $13.68 million — a welcome decrease from previous estimates of $16.97 million in April and $15.75 million in June.
Councilmember Dan Quirk asked several technical questions regarding the project details and costs, expressing frustration at what he described as a lack of clarity in the contractor market regarding costs.
Quirk said the city should be pushing for more information about how costs are calculated when awarding contracts.
In the past, Quirk has demanded that the city provide a clearer breakdown of the costs of materials versus labor to facilitate accurate pricing assessments. Staff have repeatedly said that contractors are not required to provide the city with this information.
“There’s just a lot of squirreliness that we should be wary of as we’re looking to spend millions, tens of millions of dollars on city contracts, whether it’s undergrounding or other,” Quirk said. “I think this is just evidence that we should try to apply as much scrutiny as possible so that we can get the best and lowest-priced cost at the end of the day.”
Quirk also said he is specifically distrustful of
SDG&E due to the lack of details in their cost estimates. During work on previous utility districts, the city has been surprised by invoices from SDG&E that were much higher than anticipated, leading the city and the agency to work more closely on obtaining accurate estimates before work begins.
Quirk also said he would like to receive more regular updates throughout the project cycle. City Manager Ashley Jones assured Quirk and other council members that any changes to the project cost or work scope due to unforeseen circumstances would be brought back to the council for discussion.
Del Mar funded the construction of its first districts with revenue from its one-cent sales tax Measure Q, passed in 2016. However, with revenues no longer keeping up with the rising costs of construction and higher-than-anticipated bids, the city has applied for an $11 million IBank loan to cover X1A/ Crest Canyon and the next planned district, 1B/Strat-
ford Court North.
While the city still needs to finalize the loan total later this month, staff said it was essential to get the contract approved now, so that crews could begin work on the first phase and avoid delays due to the bird nesting season in Crest Canyon, which starts in February.
“The City has already been approved for a loan up to $11 [million], so there is no financial risk to the City in awarding the contract in advance of finalizing the loan amount,” the city said in a staff report.
Each bidder for X1A/ Crest Canyon also included an alternate bid for undergrounding along a private stretch of San Dieguito Drive, which will be completed separately.
TC Construction had an alternate bid of $1.8 million for San Dieguito
Drive, which exceeded the city engineer’s estimate of $934,000.
The council agreed not to award this alternate bid to TC Construction, as it would place the project approximately $1 million over budget, and to rebid the San Dieguito Drive project separately.
Principal Engineer Martin Boyd said the city is still working on obtaining the final easements needed from property owners in the district.
Councilmember Tracy Martinez thanked staff for their work and for answering questions from the council.
“You were kind of peppered with a lot of questions, and you knew all the answers, and it gives me even more confidence that our staff knows this project so well. I feel good about it,” Martinez said.

A call to action for local mental health
By Kristin Gaspar
Recent news coverage has suggested that Palomar Health lost its $50 million conditional grant award from the State of California due to the district’s financial condition.
That is simply not true. Linking the two is misleading and distracts from the urgency of this moment.
The reality is that our funding was rescinded on a technicality. Palomar Health will be fighting relentlessly in Round 2 of the state’s process to keep this project alive.
What we need right now are champions, not critics.
For the past seven years, a tiny but mighty team has carried this vision forward: Diane Hansen, Palomar Health CEO; Sheila Brown, former Palomar Health COO; Christi Knight, lead grant writer at Palomar Health; and myself. Seven years ago, when I was a County Supervisor, I convened a regional conference on the state of behavioral health services.
Out of that work came the recognition that North

later walked away as a financial partner, Palomar refused to give up. We pursued every possible path, writing grants, facing rejection after rejection and still never turning our backs on the community.
Ultimately, we submitted what we called our “Hail Mary” application for Prop. 1 state funding. Against all odds, it was awarded.

To the Editor, Encinitas deserves leaders who embody accountability, responsibility, and integrity. Councilmember Luke Shaffer’s service as a combat veteran is honorable, and no one can take that away.
But holding public office requires more than past service — it requires the trust of the community today.
Recently, I watched former County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, a Marine veteran, speak about his own struggles with PTSD and alcoholism.
Even before false allegations against him were dismissed, he admitted his personal behavior had consequences. He chose to step away from the office, seek treatment, and prioritize family, accountability and
healing.
That decision was difficult, but it was honorable.
Councilmember Schaffer, your situation carries parallels. You are now facing a felony assault charge and two misdemeanors. While the legal process will unfold in court, the issue before our community is larger: whether our leadership can be trusted to uphold the standards of this city.
This is not about condemnation. Compassion and accountability can exist together. Sometimes the most compassionate act is stepping down before a deeper rock bottom is reached.
Sometimes the most compassionate act is being honest enough to call out, and in, our elected officials, friends, and families when

RFK Jr. to blame for vaccine limits
As Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues making vaccines in general and COVID-19 inoculations in particular harder to get, it will become more and more clear that the blame for any resulting deaths lies with him and his boss, President Trump.
That also applies to the current outbreak of whooping cough (or pertussis), of which 10,082 cases were reported by the end of May, killing five infants.
That led Kennedy’s top U.S. Senate critic, Louisiana Republican Bill Cassidy, whose state had three times as many cases as last year, to call on him to encourage mass vaccinations for whooping cough.
At this writing, Kennedy had not responded, and the outbreak was unabated. It’s important to make clear neither Trump nor Kennedy is responsible for the summertime measles death of a Los Angeles child infected when too young for vaccination and before either RFK Jr. or Trump took office.
Yet, there’s little doubt much of the blame in any future stack-up of bodies dead from COVID-19 varieties will lie with Kennedy.
For years, he was America’s foremost critic of vaccines of most types, from long-established preventives like the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) inoculations required for most schoolchildren to the newer COVID-19 antidotes.
We know New York City and parts of New Jersey experienced such high death tolls early in the COVID pandemic that hospitals and morgues used refrigerated trucks to store piled-up bodies. Images of mass burials on Hart Island near the Bronx also circulated widely during 2020 and 2021.
filled them with anti-vaccine cronies he calls “distinguished scientists.” They’ve set rules making it almost impossible for anyone under 65 to get previously free vaccinations unless they tell a pharmacist they have some kind of underlying condition weakening their health.
Even some over-65s in California and other states have reported being forced to get COVID-shot prescriptions from physicians. These are far higher barriers to inoculation than Americans faced as recently as last year, before RFK Jr. took over HHS.
Why blame Trump, too? For one thing, he put Kennedy where he is, part of a Trump/Kennedy political bargain sealed very publicly in August 2024. That’s when Kennedy — until then a secondary presidential candidate — agreed to throw whatever support he had at the polls (it wasn’t much) behind Trump, often reported as an exchange for any cabinet job he desired.
Kennedy sorely wanted HHS. He has used it to the hilt, first lying about the extent of his anti-vaccine sentiments during Senate confirmation hearings and then acting on his true feelings after taking over the only federal job he ever wanted.
their actions become a sign of deeper issues.
While many of us in Encinitas may not agree with your words, actions, or policies, we would respect you more if you took the honorable step of resigning now, choosing healing and treatment over clinging to power.
For the sake of your family as well as our city, please step down and focus on your healing now, before your rock bottom becomes deeper and more detrimental.
Encinitas is a city that values compassion, but it also values responsibility. For the good of our city and for your own well-being, Councilmember Schaffer, it is time to step down.
In that same year’s winter surge (the deadliest wave yet), hospitals in California, Arizona and Oregon also converted trucks into temporary morgues.
Now another round of COVID threatens, and we shall see how responsible the American public that elected Donald Trump president is willing to hold him and his political deal-making.
Just now, a new variety of COVID-19 — at least the fourth since the pandemic’s supposed end — proliferates across the nation, while Kennedy makes it continually more difficult for people to get protected by new forms of the vaccine.
As secretary of Health and Human Services, Kennedy names the committees that set the rules for this. He has systematically
Trump knew he was suborning this deceit, saying later that, “Everyone knows these (vaccines) work,” but still refusing to fire Kennedy even after most of Kennedy’s family begged him to. Who knows what written “pre-nup” may exist between the two men, restraining Trump from taking appropriate action?
Even senators who voted to confirm Kennedy as a cabinet member now loudly point out contradictions between his confirmation hearing testimony and his actions in office.
“I would say effectively we are denying people vaccines,” said Cassidy, a doctor and the decisive vote to confirm Kennedy. The bottom line: The direct line of responsibility for today’s rising positive results for COVID-19 and other once quiescent ailments like pertussis runs through both Kennedy and Trump.
But no one knows if voters will hold either to account.

Carlsbad advances ‘toothless’ e-bike age limit
‘Get a backbone,’ commission tells state lawmakers
By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD
— The city’s Traffic Safety and Mobility Commission advanced a proposal Tuesday to set a minimum age of 12 for riding e-bikes under a new state pilot program, although members acknowledged the changes may do little to address the public’s broader safety concerns.
The commission voted unanimously Tuesday to recommend the measure, part of the San Diego Electric Bicycle Safety Pilot Program, which Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law last September.
The program, which applies to Class 1 and 2 e-bikes, was established under Assembly Bill 2234, authored by Assemblymember Tasha Boerner (D-Encinitas), who represents a significant portion of coastal San Diego County, including the city of Carlsbad.
City Manager Geoff Patnoe said the pilot allows the state “to test a policy to determine feasibility and identify areas of success and potential issues before a more widespread implementation.”
If adopted, the city must first launch a 30-day public information campaign, followed by a 60-day warning
period before full enforcement takes effect. Riders could have fines waived by completing an e-bike safety program within 120 days.
The program does not permit cities to set the age minimum higher or lower than 12 years old.
The pilot program is scheduled to expire in 2029.
Lt. Jason Arnotti of the Carlsbad Police Department said the program’s focus would be education,
not punishment. Carlsbad is among the few cities in the state with officers certified by the League of American Bicyclists to provide safety training.
Arnotti added that while each case differs, “it would be more likely than not” the age minimum would be enforced as a secondary violation, rather than officers targeting young-looking riders.
Although the commission endorsed the policy,
members questioned how effective it would be.
“I think we’re expecting way too much from this,” Commissioner Peter Penseyres said.
Police data showed riders under 18 accounted for 53% of 204 injury collisions since 2022. Another 5% involved riders who fled but were later identified as minors. Most incidents involved riders ages 12 to 17, while those under 12 rep-

resented only 4% of injury crashes.
Commissioner Steve Nicholes said he shared public frustration with e-bike safety but was “highly skeptical that implementing this rule is going to make a difference to the main problems.”
“I don’t see six year olds, eight year olds out there doing wheelies and trying to stand on their seats,” Nicholes said.
Commissioner Diane Proulx agreed that teenagers were largely responsible for many of the local concerns.
Commissioner Peter Kohl urged the council to “lobby the state legislature — tell them to step up, get a backbone and put some teeth into some of these bills.”
Commission Chair Josh Coelho called the rule “a toothless, bare minimum attempt at trying to solve a problem,” describing it as “kind of a Band-aid for a bullet hole” because “the kids that you see causing the problems are not in elementary school.” Nathan Schmidt, the city’s transportation planning and mobility manager, said Strava data showed e-bike trips jumped from 20,974 in 2020 to 40,583 in 2021 and surpassed 60,000 trips annually in 2022 and 2023. Arnotti said the surge led to “a tipping point for our city and a catalyst for action” that prompted the August
2022 traffic state of emergency.
Before the meeting, the city received more than 500 emails, with 85% favoring a minimum age of 12 or higher. Schmidt cautioned that the responses were “not statistically representative and cannot be generalized to the entire population of Carlsbad within a defined margin of error.”
Most public speakers supported age limits, though one warned against overpolicing. The commission also suggested banning multiple riders on an e-bike if the operator is under 16, even when the bike is equipped with an extra seat or basket.
“E-bikes were not designed to be supplemental carpools for families,” Commissioner Tom Schuck said, noting frequent sightings of multiple teenagers riding together.
The panel also recommended the council consider banning Class 2 e-bikes, as Marin County has done, and press the state to adopt broader e-bike safety measures.
Several e-bike collisions involving teenagers have raised concerns about the need for stricter regulations.
In 2023, Brodee Braxton Champlain-Kingman, 15, was fatally struck by a vehicle while riding an e-bike in Encinitas. Earlier that year, a 14-year-old girl was injured after she was hit by a car while riding her e-bike along Tamarack Avenue.

The Del Mar City Council agreed to reinitiate the Shores Park master planning process in June. On Sept. 8, staff asked the council to reaffirm the original guiding principles and preferred amenities for the project, re-establish the Shores Park Master Plan Ad-hoc Advisory Committee, and provide further input on next steps.
• Thoughtfully integrate the needs and desires of residents visiting the park with or without pets,
• Capture the dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean,
• Provide a gardenesque park setting that is environmentally and economically sustainable,
• Integrate the activities, program, circulation, and recreational needs of The Winston School,
a list of required and preferred amenities created before the park planning was paused. Required park amenities include 18 parking spaces, a full-sized multi-purpose sports court, and a youth sports field for baseball, softball, and other sports.
The Tier 1 preferred amenities identified by the public include gardens and landscaping, benches, trash and recycling receptacles, drinking fountains, bike racks, a grassy area for off-leash dog activities, an indoor meeting/recreational community space, restrooms, picnic areas, shade, and walking paths.
City leaders said they can explore this possibility, but that space on the site is already limited.
“The council and the public need to understand that if we were to include the Alvarado House in the master planning process, it would ultimately probably result in not being able to accommodate all the Tier 1 amenities due to space constraints,” Brown said.
Last month, the council decided to dissolve the original Shores Park advisory committee and establish a new subcommittee under the Parks and Recreation Department to continue the park planning process.
“Oktoberfest is a great way to kick off fall in Encinitas,” Yardley said. “It brings people together, celebrates our local businesses, and honors the German roots of Olivenhain. It’s an event you don’t want to miss!”
Sherry Yardley’s favorite things about Oktoberfest?
“The parade at noon with local elected officials, the artisan marketplace that shows off our creative community, raising a stein with friends in the beer garden and seeing families and neighbors enjoying the day together. That’s what Oktoberfest is all about.”

Assistant City Manager Clem Brown said the Shores Park Master Planning process consisted of three phases, in consultation with Schmidt Design Group: discover, imagine, and create. The city completed the first phase by taking an inventory of the site and gathering community input, and Phase 2 was partially completed with the creation of the three concept designs.
“Phase 3 — create — we never got to that. That part has yet to begin, but our goal on our work plan this year is to refine those concept designs into one preferred
• Create a park that reflects the rich history, unique culture, and community character of Del Mar.
Brown said future design alternatives for the project would be evaluated by how well they accomplish the goals outlined in the guiding principles.
City Councilmember Tracy Martinez said she supported keeping the same list of principles.
“I’ve read them several times, I think they’re very thoughtful,” Martinez said. “I know all the work the community and the staff put into it.”
The council revisited
It must also be fully accessible for those with disabilities and accommodate children’s activities.
Other potential amenities include a children’s playground, a general-purpose room for community programming and activities, an outdoor fitness course, an amphitheater, an auditorium, a community garden, educational signage, and a bocce ball court.
The council said they would like to prioritize the Tier 1 amenities, with the request that the city also study the possibility of bringing the historic Alvarado House onto the property. Built in 1885, the house is currently located at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
The inclusion of the Alvarado House was not part of the original Shores Park planning process, but in recent weeks, residents and the Del Mar Historical Society have requested that it be considered.
However, on Sept. 8, the council changed their tune and agreed to instate a new Shores Park Master Plan Ad-hoc Advisory Committee, which will pick up the work of the previous committee at the time it was paused. Recruiting for the committee is likely to be decided in October.
Mayor Terry Gaasterland and Councilmember John Spelich were also appointed as council liaisons for the committee.
Council members and residents also advocated for maintaining the current offleash dog rules in the new park plan.
For many years, dogs have been permitted offleash at the existing sports field on the property from 6:00 to 8:30 a.m., seven days a week, and from 3:30 p.m. to dusk on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
Rather than a separate, smaller dog park area, some residents said they would support continued shared use of a sports field with specific hours when dogs are allowed off-leash.
“You can't have a place that's as big as this room,” said resident Dan Smiley, gesturing around the City Council chambers, “and have it be an effective place for all the dogs that go there, because it’s a well-used amenity and a lot of dogs use it, so they need space.”
Spelich said he would support this, noting that many residents enjoy the current status quo for dog use at the park.
“I hope we leave open the possibility that there’s a shared-use dog area with the sports field,” he said.

Lawsuits target Eddie Jones project

OCEANSIDE — Two lawsuits have been filed seeking to overturn a controversial warehouse project planned along Eddie Jones Way.
Oceanside resident Gretchen Gary, who lives near the site and is part of the opposition group Oceanside Speaks Out, filed a writ of mandate against the city and developer RPG Development. Advocates for the Environment, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit focused on climate litigation, also filed a writ of mandate.
Both petitions claim the approval violates the California Environmental Quality Act. Advocates for the Environment also allege the project is inconsistent with the city’s Climate Action Plan and relied on flawed greenhouse gas data.
Gary’s lawsuit further cites Brown Act violations, alleging that the developer communicated with council members Jimmy Figueroa, Rick Robinson and Peter Weiss over the summer before the Aug. 6 meeting to propose a modified project that included a $2.5 million contribution.
Gary claims the hearing “did not timely disclose to the public the forthcoming consideration of the ‘Revised Proposal’ by City Council.”
Staff did not present a formal revised proposal. After the council’s May rejection, the item returned Aug. 6 as a consent calendar vote to finalize the decision, a standard step. The item was pulled by a member of the public, prompting comments from Gary and RPG founder Adam Robinson, who offered to reduce the number of truck bays from 34 to 28 along with the contribution.
According to the lawsuit, a resident emailed City Attorney Steve Burke, questioning whether a Brown Act violation had occurred, noting that council members appeared prepared with detailed responses to
Council OKs 46-condo project
By Leo Place SAN MARCOS —
The City Council unanimously approved a 46-condominium housing project planned for a vacant piece of land along Woodward Street in the Richmar neighborhood on Sept. 9.
the changes. Burke replied that he saw no violation.
Under state law, developers may meet with individual council members, provided that a council majority does not confer among themselves.
The project would consist of a 497,882-square-foot warehouse with 28 truck bays situated on nearly 32 acres at 250 Eddie Jones Way. The site is less than 1,000 feet from homes, borders the San Luis Rey River and recreational trail, and sits west of Ocean Kamp, a major mixed-use development under construction.
The property also borders Oceanside Municipal Airport and is near two wildlife preserves, a skate park and the Prince of Peace Abbey.
The land has been used for industrial purposes since the 1960s, long before the surrounding residential community was built. The Deutsch Plant made defense-industry electronic connectors for nearly 50 years until TE Connectivity purchased the land in 2012. RPG Development acquired the property in 2021 and demolished the existing building in 2022.
While the latest project is smaller than the original 566,905-square-foot proposal with 114 truck bays, opponents argue the certified environmental impact report could allow the developer to expand in the future. Staff has said the City Council would need to approve a conditional use permit to add more trucks.
Opponents contend the project’s impacts on air quality, wildlife, water, energy, greenhouse gases, noise, traffic, and other hazards should have been reason enough to reject it.
The City Council majority opposed the project in May. However, in August, Figueroa switched his vote after RPG agreed to reduce the number of truck bays from 34 to 28 and contribute $2.5 million for delayed park and capital projects.
Known as the Woodward 46 project, planned by Cornerstone Communities, the condominium development would comprise 46 three-bedroom units, ranging in size from 1,500 to 1,900 square feet, and divided among 23 duplex buildings. The project would be up to 45 feet tall.
Each condo would have a private yard, a two-car garage with EV charging capabilities, and either a rooftop deck or balcony. On-site communal amenities would include a children’s playground and playhouse, a turf play area, a covered patio, and a sensory garden.
The 8.57-acre site is surrounded by other single-family and multifamily residential homes and is located across the street from the San Marcos Civic Center and San Marcos Library.
Project representative Matt Simmons of Consultants Collaborative Inc. told the City Council that the project will provide housing in an area already supported by infrastructure, including quality roads and the Sprinter station, located approximately 800 feet away.
“It’s gonna provide some much-needed housing in this attainable range.
It is next to already-constructed roads and infrastructure, so we’re gonna put in a driveway to support the project, but not additional roads or infrastructure,” said Simmons.
Councilmembers said they appreciated the amenities, plentiful parking, and nearby transit options.
“I like the size of the project, the size of the units, the family-friendly kid-friendly considerations and amenities … I like the proximity to our public transportation, I think that is a great addition,” said Councilmember María Nuñez.
“This looks like an impressive neighborhood that’s gonna provide a housing product that is large enough for small families to get into for the first time. We don’t have a lot of that,” said Councilmember Mike Sannella.
The council’s approval for the Woodward 46 project included certification of the environmental impact report (EIR), amendments
to land use maps, creation of a new Woodward Specific Plan, a multifamily development plan, a new subdivision map, and a conditional use permit for the use of a rock crusher.
The EIR found that the project would have less-than-significant impacts on the site, with recommendations for mitigation. These include onsite or offsite mitigation for 5.5 acres of coastal sage scrub, which serves as habitat for the Crotch’s bumblebee and California gnatcatcher.
A cultural survey also identified a small prehistoric area with two bedrock milling features — outcroppings of rock used for grinding grain and food — that can be partially preserved.
Extensive grading will take place to address the steep slopes onsite.
While project plans were coming together, some residents expressed
concerns about noise issues that could be caused by a rock crusher, as well as potential damage to the retaining wall on the southern edge of the site due to grading.
Simmons said they plan to monitor and ensure no damage comes to the retaining wall.
He also stated that the developer is still evaluating whether it will be necessary to use the rock crusher, and that alternative methods of removing large rocks, such as those used before or during grading, may be employed if needed.
“There are many options before you get to the stage of having to blast,” Simmons said.
Grading likely would not begin for another year to 18 months, he added.
The San Marcos Planning Commission previously reviewed the project in June and unanimously recommended approval.
State orders new citrus quarantine
By City News Service
FALLBROOK — The California Department of Food and Agriculture issued a citrus quarantine this week for northern San Diego County and part of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.
The quarantine was issued after state officials found a citrus tree with Huanglongbing — a bacterial disease that is fatal to citrus trees — in one tree in a residential neighborhood in the San Clemente area during regular inspections, according to the agency.
“Unfortunately, Huanglongbing is fatal to citrus, so our goal is to prevent this disease from spreading,’’ San Diego Agricultural Commissioner Ha Dang said. “Partnering with state and federal regulatory partners, we are working closely with residents and agricultural operators and ask for everyone’s cooperation with the ongoing regulatory activities.’’
A key point of the quarantine includes protecting the region’s food supply by restricting people and businesses from moving citrus nursery stock, plant parts and fruit outside the quarantine boundaries, according to officials.
This was San Diego’s first multi-jurisdictional quarantine, spanning from
southern Orange County to northern San Diego County, in the San Onofre and Agra areas, including the northwest part of Camp Pendleton.
According to officials, there were already existing quarantines in Fallbrook, Oceanside, Rancho Bernardo and Valley Center.
The disease Huanglongbing, also known as HLB or citrus greening, is not harmful to people or animals, but is deadly to citrus and “could be devastating to the county’s citrus industry.’’
Officials said HLB is a major threat to the county’s $144 million annual citrus crop that could impact residential citrus tree owners.
HLB is spread by tiny insects, the Asian citrus psyllid, carrying the bacteria when they feed on citrus trees. Samples from trees on the property where HLB was confirmed were undergoing additional tests for the disease, county officials said.
Signs of infected trees may include areas with mottled-yellow leaves, asymmetrical fruit, which is partially green and bitter.
The disease destroys the appearance and value of the trees, eventually killing infected trees, typically within a few years.

Encinitas moves to re-adopt reach codes
Council aims for new building rules ahead of deadline
By Cameron Adams ENCINITAS
— The Encinitas City Council is working to preserve local control of building regulations by moving forward with a plan to re-adopt its existing “reach codes” before new state restrictions
take effect.
Cities are required to adopt California’s building codes every three years, but may also enact stricter local amendments, known as reach codes, to address issues such as fire safety and energy efficiency.
On June 30 — just before the City Council recess — Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 130, which he said will help “to build more housing, faster and create strong affordable pathways for every Californian.”
The law prohibits cities and counties from changing building standards between Oct. 1, 2025, and June 1, 2031, unless certain conditions are met.
These include implementing changes already in effect as of Sept. 30, enacting emergency standards to protect health and safety, addressing wildfire vulnerability, or aligning with previously adopted local general plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
At the council’s Aug. 27 meeting, the city’s sustainability analyst Ryan Lamkin warned that “all of these conditions face legal uncertainty.”
“There hasn’t been any precedent from any legal rulings and until there is, we don’t have definitive interpretations of the conditions,” Lamkin said. “And therefore, the safest approach to protect local control over the building code is to re-adopt what we can before October 1st, 2025.”
The council unanimously agreed at meetings on Aug. 27 and Sept. 10 to move forward with re-adopting its reach codes before the deadline.
The proposed amendments include updates on fire prevention, graywater plumbing, and electric vehicle readiness for new single-family homes, as well as requiring certain remodels to install at least one energy efficiency measure.

Arrest in fatal hit-run
Gendron, 27, faces murder, DUI charge
By City News Service CARLSBAD —
An Escondido resident was being held without bail over the weekend after the hit-and-run death of a bicyclist in Carlsbad, police said.
Officers responded to the 4400 block of Carlsbad Boulevard shortly after 4:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 13, where they found the bicyclist dead in the street, according to Lt. Jason Arnotti of the Carlsbad Police Department.
the City of Encinitas, said the actions would limit the city’s legal exposure.
The measures must still be discussed and adopted at a future meeting before Oct. 1. They were not listed on the Sept. 17 council agenda.
Councilmember Jim O’Hara said on Sept. 10 that “unfortunately, we have to rush something through” to meet the state deadline.
Najera confirmed that the council could later choose to remove a reach code without violating AB 130, though such a move would require a new amendment to align local standards with the state’s.
Councilmember Luke Shaffer said he supported re-adopting the codes “predominantly because…we can scratch anything that comes along” in the future.
Mayor Bruce Ehlers, who initially expressed frustration at the rushed process, said staff had worked quickly to address concerns.
“I don’t want to be up here making decisions based on ambiguity,” Ehlers said. “I want to get as much logic into it as we can.”
Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes said that failing to act would mean relinquishing local control.
Encinitas has faced similar challenges in the past related to local reach codes.
In 2021, it became the first city in San Diego County to adopt a “green building” reach code requiring new developments to install electric appliances.
But the city suspended that policy in 2023 after a federal appeals court struck down a comparable natural gas ban in Berkeley, citing federal preemption.
Despite the legal uncertainty, Encinitas officials say adopting reach codes before the state deadline is the best way to preserve the city’s authority over building standards.
“With the assistance of several community members, Carlsbad’s license plate readers, and a drone, officers found the driver of the involved vehicle approximately one mile from the scene of the collision,” Arnotti said.
Alexander Renee Gendron, 27, of Escondido was arrested on suspicion of murder, gross vehicular manslaughter, leaving the scene of a collision resulting in injury or death, DUI causing injury or death, and DUI with a blood alcohol content of .08. Gendron was booked into the Vista Detention Facility on Saturday evening on a no bail hold.
Gendron was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday at the Vista Courthouse.
The identity of the bicyclist will be released by the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office at a later date.
“The cause of the collision remains under investigation, and alcohol is suspected to be a contributing factor,” Arnotti said.
Anyone with information was encouraged to contact Traffic Accident Investigator Corporal Matt Bowen at 442-3392282 or matt.bowen@ carlsbadca.gov.
Victims in area fatal crashes ID’d
Authorities have publicly identified two people who lost their lives to San Diego-area traffic accidents over the weekend.
The most recent of the roadway fatalities stemmed from a three-vehicle pileup that took place on state Route 56 near Salmon River Road in Rancho Penasquitos shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday. One of the involved motorists, 50-year-old Tomasz Bordyczewski of Poway, died at the scene of the crash.
Just before 2 a.m. that same day, Karlene Luna, 31, was fatally injured when a car struck her as she was walking alongside state Route 76 in her hometown of Pala. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.

Carlsbad backs traffic calming plan for Barrio
By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD — The Carlsbad
City Council has directed staff to draft a traffic calming plan for the Barrio neighborhood that includes a range of measures aimed at improving safety for all roadway users.
Carlsbad officials have cited unsafe speeds and violations of signs and signals as leading causes of injury and collisions, and traffic circles are seen as a physical design change to curb those behaviors.
Transportation Director Tom Frank presented two options for improvements at a Sept. 9 meeting and asked the council for direction on which to develop by November.
The council unanimously approved a modified version of Option 1, which targeted 14 intersections. The plan includes three new all-way stop signs, 42 painted crosswalks, two raised crosswalks — one on Madison Street and another on Roosevelt Street — and flashing pedestrian signs at six locations.
A raised crosswalk initially proposed at Chestnut Avenue and Roosevelt was replaced with an all-way stop.
In July, the council also scaled back the number of proposed traffic circles for the neighborhood due to parking concerns, opting for just a single roundabout at Pine Avenue and Harding Street, which is expected to reduce parking impacts in the area.
Option 2 would have affected eight intersections, with six new all-way stop signs and 26 painted crosswalks, but no raised crosswalks or flashing pedestrian signs.
City records show that Option 1 was projected to cost $2.99 million before the modification. Option 2 was estimated at $2.43 million. Both estimates included sewer improvements.
Residents who spoke during public comment supported traffic calming in the Barrio but expressed frustration over delays in implementing changes.
Frank said stop signs could be added later, but would require design drawings and competitive bids from outside firms. Studies would be conducted before and after installation to assess effectiveness, he said. Frank added that his team preferred the broader mix of measures with fewer stop signs.
Responding to questions from Councilmember Kevin Shin and Mayor Pro Tem Priya Bhat-Patel, Fire Chief Michael Calderwood said the department had no preference between the options from an emergency response perspective.
Calderwood noted the fire department monitors speed bump installations within a 1.5-mile radius because they slow response times.
“We believe that two are the max,” he said.
Police Chief Christie Calderwood said both op-
tions were viable for response times and reducing speeding. She said her department leaned toward the option with fewer stop signs
to keep traffic moving, but was comfortable with either plan.
Police vehicles, she added, do not face the same
challenges with vertical deflections as fire engines.
The Pine and Harding traffic circle will also feature a public art installation.
Artist Mario Torero, selected by a city subcommittee in December 2024, is expected to work with residents on a design concept before presenting it to the Arts Commission.
State of the City
With an eye on the future, Mayor Keith Blackburn turned to some of the city’s youngest residents during this year’s State of the City, asking children what they love most about Carlsbad and their thoughts on civic issues.
In a video shown during Tuesday’s City Council meeting, Mayor Keith Blackburn asked children across Carlsbad what they love about their city and their thoughts on various local topics. The video was part of the State of the City presentation, which highlighted public safety, city
projects, sustainability efforts, quality of life and business activity.
Several kids drew laughter from the council chambers after telling the mayor they hadn’t met any notable people that day.
Before the video, Councilmember Kevin Shin, a retired fire captain, praised the city’s Emergency Operations Center, a hub of emergency response.
“It’s new, it’s revitalized,” Shin said. “And for a person that’s had to work in an EOC, I’m letting our public know that we have one of the most state-ofthe-art operations centers out there.”
The city also partnered with local schools on e-bike safety training and developed wildfire mitigation plans with brush manage-

CITY OF ENCINITAS
PUBLIC NOTICE OF ORDINANCE INTRODUCTION ORDINANCE NO. 2025-11
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Encinitas has introduced Ordinance No. 2025-11 titled “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Encinitas, California, Amending Encinitas Municipal Code Chapter 23.12 (Building Codes for Construction) to Make Certain Amendments, Additions, and Deletions Related to Electric Vehicles, Water Conservation and Energy E ciency Case Number: PLCY-008282-2025; Citywide.” Proposed Ordinance No. 2025-11 would update the Encinitas Municipal Code to adopt an amended version of the Energy Code that includes advanced local energy e ciency and solar photovoltaic requirements pursuant to the City’s locally unique topographical and climatic conditions, as stated in the ordinance preamble. The proposed local code amendments have undergone cost-e ectiveness studies which demonstrate the requirements conserve energy and are cost-e ective. The following modi cations are proposed to ensure the local code is consistent with the 2025 State Energy Code yet retains the “reach codes” adopted by the City Council in Ordinance Nos. 2022-13 and 2022-14, with minor modi cations:
Electric Readiness
New single-family homes with gas furnaces would be required to designate and prepare a location to support the replacement of the gas furnace with an electric heat pump compressor in the future. For a summary of requirements, see Attachment 3 – Electric Readiness Fact Sheet.
Existing Building Energy E ciency
Single-family and multifamily projects seeking addition or alteration permits with a permit valuation of $50,000 or more shall include a minimum of one of several of the energy e ciency measures including options such as R-38 attic insulation and air sealing, a heat pump water heater, or an induction cooktop. Available measures depend on the building vintage – the year in which the building was originally permitted for construction. Several measures have been determined to be cost e ective based on the 2022 Cost E ectiveness Study for Existing Single Family Building Upgrades (Attachment 4) and the Application of the 2022 Studies to the 2025 Energy Code Memorandum (Attachment 5). The LED lighting option has been removed for the 2025 Building Code cycle because it results in minimal energy and greenhouse gas reductions.
Electric Vehicle Charging
New single-family dwellings must install a dedicated 208/240-volt branch circuit and electric outlet for the purpose of being “EV-ready.”
Alterations and additions to hotel/motel or nonresidential buildings with a permit valuation greater than $500,000 must equip at least eight (8) percent of their parking spaces with Level 2 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). This is a minor change from the reach code adopted by Ordinance No. 2022-14 which required all nonresidential buildings over 10,000 square feet to comply with this requirement. In practice, this threshold created a substantial nancial burden for some projects. The proposed $500,000 threshold better aligns with the incremental cost of installing EV charging equipment for a project.
Graywater Systems
Newly constructed single-family dwelling units to be pre-plumbed for a graywater system with a convenient location for integration of the graywater system with landscape irrigation systems and accepting graywater from all sources permissible in conformance with the de nition of graywater.
Ordinance 2025-11 was introduced at the Regular City Council meeting held on September 10, 2025, by the following vote: AYES: Ehlers, O’Hara, San Antonio, Sha er; NAYS: None; ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: Lyndes. The City Council will consider the adoption of this Ordinance at the September 24, 2025, Regular City Council meeting commencing at 6:00 p.m., in the City Council Chambers, 505 South Vulcan Avenue. The Ordinance is on le in the o ce of the City Clerk, 505 South Vulcan Avenue and may be viewed between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act/ Section 504 Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title VI, this agency is an equal opportunity public entity and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, religion, veteran status or physical or mental disability in employment or the provision of service.

COMMUNITY ON COURSE FOR A CAUSE
Escondido Chamber’s annual golf tournament blends fun, fundraising, and local partnerships
The Escondido Chamber of Commerce brought the community together on Friday, September 12th for its much-anticipated annual golf tournament at the scenic Vineyard at Escondido Golf Course. Under sunny skies and a spirit of camaraderie, dozens of teams teed off for a day of competition, networking, and giving back to the community.
This year’s golf tournament carried added significance as it raised funds for two important local programs: the Escondido Police Athletic League (PAL) and the Escondido Chamber Rising Stars Program . PAL, a nonprofit dedicated to building positive relationships between law enforcement and youth, provides after-school activities, mentoring, and athletic opportunities that help guide young people toward success. Meanwhile, the Rising Stars program celebrates and supports outstanding high school seniors who demonstrate leadership, character, and a commitment to making a difference in their schools and neighborhoods.
The tournament was a scramble format and featured a full roster of foursomes, with players
representing local businesses, civic organizations, and community groups. From the opening shotgun start to the final putts of the afternoon, the day was filled with friendly competition, good-natured banter, and plenty of laughs.
Among the highlights was the “Beat the Pro” closest-to-thehole contest on hole three, where golfers tested their short-game skills against a professional. The challenge drew plenty of cheers and added an extra layer of excitement, with bragging rights on the line for those who managed to stick their shot inside the pro’s. On hole five, golfers were treated to the chance to launch their drives with a golf ball cannon, an unexpected twist that made for memorable stories back at the clubhouse.
This year’s event was made possible by the support of generous sponsors, including EDI (Escondido Disposal, Inc.) and The Vineyard at Escondido Golf Course, which donated the use of its course to the Chamber. Their commitment, along with the contributions of many community sponsors, helped ensure the tournament’s success.
By the close of the event, participants had helped raise meaningful support for PAL and
Rising Stars, ensuring these programs can continue to empower young people in Escondido. The Chamber’s annual golf tournament has become more than a day on the course; it is a tradition that blends fun with purpose, reinforcing the value of community partnerships.

JOE COYLE
Chair of the Chamber’s Golf Committee, summed up his vision for the tournament: Every year I set three goals: create an amazing experience that’s more than just golf, raise money for impactful causes like PAL and Rising Stars, and make people want to come back with even more friends next year. I love Escondido, and I believe a strong chamber builds a strong city. This tournament is our way of giving back to the community that has given us so much.
KAY BATES
Chair of the Escondido Chamber of Commerce, added: The Escondido Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament is more than just a day on the greens. It’s a celebration of community, collaboration and the partnerships that strengthen our local economy. Events like this give our members and neighbors the opportunity to connect in a meaningful way. For me personally, it’s a reminder of why I love this community - the generosity, the camaraderie and the shared commitment to excellence that make Escondido such a special place to live and do business.
The Escondido Chamber of Commerce is deeply grateful to the following sponsors and community partners whose generosity made this year’s golf tournament possible. Their support not only enhanced the experience on the course, but also helped raise funds for the Escondido Police Athletic League and the Chamber’s Rising Stars Program.

Flooding damages gallery
By Samantha Nelson CARLSBAD
— The North Coastal Art Gallery is seeking community donations to help cover repair costs after flooding damaged its home at the Village Faire Shopping Center.
The flood occurred when a pump in the shopping center’s main mechanical room — located next to the gallery’s Suite 101 space — broke, according to Cheryl Ehlers, president of the Carlsbad-Oceanside Art League, the nonprofit that owns the gallery. Within two hours, both the mechanical room and the gallery were flooded.
None of the gallery’s art was damaged, but repairs are underway. SIMA Management, which oversees the shopping center, provided the gallery a temporary location in Suite 124, the former Moradi Med Spa.
“SIMA has been working very hard trying to put the gallery back together, but it’s going to take some time and money on our part,” Ehlers told The Coast News in an email.
The nonprofit is now seeking financial donations from the community to help fund the reconstruction of its gallery, noting that the organization relies heavily on revenue from art sales.
“We do our best and we remain positive,” Ehlers said.
The gallery has served the community for over 74 years, showcasing artists from North County and throughout the San Diego region. Its programs include monthly free art demonstrations supported by the City of Carlsbad Community Art Grant, youth art classes, and exhibition space, along with the weekly outdoor “Art on the Green” at the Carlsbad Inn and Resort.
“We believe community outreach keeps the arts vibrant, but we can’t do it without your support, patronage and appreciation, to rebuild,” Ehlers said. “Our gallery needs the public’s enthusiastic support.”
Despite the setback, the gallery plans to continue hosting upcoming events, including September’s “Under the Surface: Art in Layers” exhibition running through Oct. 4, October’s “Abstract” exhibition, the Haunted House Silent Auction and holiday events.
“Let’s make a difference together,” said Programs Director Julie Brooks.
Donations can be made directly on the gallery’s website https://northcoastalartgallery.com/.

Encinitas council revisits ICE action
By Jordan P. Ingram ENCINITAS — The
Encinitas City Council will consider rescinding its emergency response to federal immigration arrests last month near a local school, following a formal complaint alleging the city violated California’s open-meeting law.
in response, unanimously approved eight actions as part of an emergency agenda item during an Aug. 20 meeting, including launching a bilingual “know your rights” campaign, requesting federal records of ICE activity and exploring legal challenges.
Commission (FPPC) allows elected officials and candidates to establish legal defense funds only for cases that arise directly out of an election campaign, electoral process, or an elected official’s performance of their governmental activities and duties.
Shaffer’s legal defense fund will be used for legal expenses related to the charge of omission to perform duty, according to his Form 410. For this charge, the DA’s Office alleged that Shaffer used his position as a councilmember to make unlawful threats of retaliatory action against a member of the public.
The charges stem from an alleged dispute between Shaffer and a homeowner in July. The District Attorney’s Office alleges that Shaffer attempted to move trash and recycling bins from a parking space in front of a resident’s home so he could park his truck there.
When the homeowner told him to stop and put the bins back, Shaffer allegedly pushed over one of the bins and threw a piece of trash in the man’s face. Prosecutors allege Shaffer also reversed his car and crushed
STATE OF CITY
ment. Six emergency medical technicians were reclassified as firefighters, and the city noted that cardiac emergencies in Carlsbad were three times more survivable than in the rest of San Diego County.
Nearly 40 miles of streets were resurfaced, more than 40 new parking spaces were added in the Village and Barrio areas, and new streetlights were installed in the Barrio to improve safety and walkability.
Councilmember Melanie Burkholder criticized “Sacramento’s one-sizefits-all legislation” preventing Carlsbad from implementing its own growth management plan.
“Ultimately, the improved infrastructure ends up as a burden on us and potentially the next generation,” Burkholder said.
one of the bins under his wheel, and struck the man’s outstretched hands with his rear tailgate.
During the confrontation, Shaffer also allegedly identified himself as a council member, stated he was going to “call the depu-
and accountability from their elected officials. Establishing a legal defense committee ensures that his efforts to defend himself from false accusations are subject to the same laws and requirements as any other campaign or fund-

ty that works for him,” and informed the homeowner that he would never obtain a permit in the city again, the DA’s Office said.
Shaffer’s attorney, Isaac Blumberg, has called the charges “outrageous” and a “drastic overreach.”
A spokesperson for Miller Ink, the strategic communications firm representing Shaffer, said he established the legal defense fund rather than a GoFundMe page to ensure transparency and accountability to residents.
“Councilman Shaffer believes the people of Encinitas deserve transparency
She added that city staff is doing “great work” to maintain infrastructure that supports residents’ quality of life.
Both the Georgina Cole Library and the Carlsbad City Library have returned to their pre-pandemic hours. TGIF Concerts in the Park also came back, renovations were completed at the Alga Norte Aquatic Center, and construction is set to begin this year on Veterans Memorial Park, the city’s largest.
“Together, these projects are more than amenities,” Mayor Pro Tem Priya Bhat-Patel said. “They’re investments in what made Carlsbad a connected, creative and vibrant community.”
Councilmember Teresa Acosta said sustainability remains a top priority. She noted that all city buildings operate on 100% renewable energy,
raising activity,” said Miller Ink representative Noah Sachartoff.
The FPPC does not set campaign contribution limits for legal defense funds; however, it states that the individual cannot solicit more than is “reasonably necessary” to cover attorneys’ fees and other legal costs.
Since the various charges are all part of the same case, contributions to the legal defense fund will likely be used to fight the assault and hit-and-run driving charges as well.
Shaffer’s next hearing is on Oct. 22.
and 90% of homes and businesses receive at least half of their energy from renewable sources.
The city also opened its fourth community garden at Stagecoach Park and launched an online dashboard to track climate progress.
“These efforts show that sustainability isn’t just a program in Carlsbad, it is part of who we are and how we plan for our future,” Acosta said.
Carlsbad generated $17.6 billion in goods and services last year. The unemployment rate stood at 4.5%, compared to a national average of 4.3%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The city projects a balanced budget through fiscal 2031 and continues to hold a AAA credit rating.
“After watching that, I kind of want to live here,” Blackburn quipped, drawing more laughter.
On Sept. 17, the council will rehear the matter and consider formally reversing the actions it adopted Aug. 20 after residents protested Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests near Park Dale Lane Elementary School. (Editor’s note: The Encinitas City Council was scheduled to take up this agenda item at its Sept. 17 meeting, which occurred after this newspaper went to press.)
The agenda recommendation directs the council to “rescind any and all actions” from that emergency item in response to a “cure and correct” letter from Cardiff resident Garvin Walsh, who accused the council of improperly invoking the Brown Act’s “immediate need” exception and failing to provide proper notice, unlawfully depriving residents of the opportunity to weigh in.
Walsh, a county Republican Party official, argued that public outcry did not constitute a legally defined emergency. In a Sept. 9 letter, he warned the council must undo its decision by Sept. 26 to avoid potential litigation.
Special counsel Leslie Devaney, responding to the complaint on behalf of the city, defended the council’s actions, saying the ICE arrests near Park Dale Lane Elementary School last month created “panic and fear” in the community that met the legal threshold for an emergency designation.
But Devaney also advised the council to re-notice the issue to address the Brown Act claims. Walsh rejected the city’s position as “ambiguous” and “contradictory” in a Sept. 9 response.
“Ms. Devaney’s formulation is not helpful,” Walsh previously told The Coast News. “The city will be better off if the council recognizes they made a mistake, reverses that, and then starts over. This is an opportunity to well and truly learn a lesson, without incurring great costs.”
The controversy stemmed from a video that circulated on social media depicting ICE agents arresting the parent of an Encinitas student on Aug. 20. The arrest drew sharp criticism from officials, including County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer, who described the arrests as an “ambush,” and state Sen. Catherine Blakespear (D-Encinitas), who called them “inhumane, barbaric and lawless.”
Protesters later gathered at City Hall, carrying signs and chanting against deportations. The council,
Two days later, agents arrested two more men working for a landscaping company near the same location in front of a group of protesters. The arrests were confirmed as “targeted enforcement operations” of individuals under final orders of removal, according to ICE.
Since the council’s emergency item was rescheduled for further public input, some residents have submitted written comments urging the council not to back down.
Amica Graber, whose child attends Park Dale Lane Elementary, said ICE’s tactics “directly endangered children” by staging operations without notifying school officials.
“School zones are meant to be safe places, not sites of high-conflict enforcement,” Graber wrote. “Rescinding [the declaration] would send a troubling message: that our children’s safety can be pushed aside in favor of procedural technicalities or political showboating.”
ICE officials have pushed back against criticism of the arrests.
“The truth of the matter is that ICE San Diego has not conducted enforcement at schools, and suggestions to the contrary mislead the public and create unnecessary fear,” said Patrick Divver, director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations in San Diego.
The Sept. 17 hearing is expected to draw strong public participation as city officials weigh their decision.
Encinitas activist Mali Woods-Drake, who protested the ICE arrests at City Hall, told The Coast News that the council’s decision to revisit the matter provides an opening for advocates to push for stronger safeguards.
“While I disagree with Walsh’s decision to risk frivolous lawsuits against our city, community activists and allies view the re-agendizing as an opportunity. It allows the City to strengthen its stance and explore even stricter protections to safeguard our residents — particularly children near our schools — from ICE activity,” Woods-Drake said.
Walsh said he hopes the council acknowledges what he views as a misuse of emergency powers.
“The City of Encinitas has had a history in recent years of declaring emergencies somewhat frivolously, taking the power to do things that shouldn’t or couldn’t be done otherwise. We must stop doing that,” Walsh said.

rook digital Digital presence is a must
By Rich Henrich
In today’s competitive marketplace, businesses along the coast of San Diego face both unique opportunities and challenges.
From bustling beachside restaurants to boutique shops and professional service providers, every company must not only attract new customers but also stay connected with existing ones to keep revenue flowing. Digital marketing has become the most effective way to achieve both goals.
Consumer behavior has undergone a significant shift in recent years. Whether locals are searching for dinner plans in Encinitas, fitness classes in Carlsbad, or home services in Del Mar, their first step is almost always online.
Without a strong digital presence, even the best products or services risk being invisible. Search engines, social media, and Google Maps have replaced the traditional word-of-mouth as the goto discovery tools for both residents and tourists.
Digital marketing enables coastal San Diego businesses to compete on a level playing field with larger brands. A well-executed strategy that incorporates search engine optimization (SEO), social media engagement, and targeted advertising ensures that businesses appear when customers are ready to make a purchase.
Just as importantly, it keeps returning customers engaged through email campaigns, promotions, and loyalty programs.
The coastal economy thrives on tourism, but its revenue can be unpredictable due to seasonality. Digital marketing provides a way to balance this by reaching a wider audience year-round. Online content, reviews, and search rankings influence visitors planning their trips months in advance.
Meanwhile, residents want convenient, trusted options at their fingertips.
Ultimately, digital marketing is no longer optional — it’s a survival tool.
For coastal San Diego businesses, investing in digital strategies means building visibility, strengthening customer relationships, and creating sustainable growth in a crowded market.

Collateral on hand gives you a leg up
Mom told me first impressions matter.
She was right, of course. Anyone walking into a meeting without a business card knows that awkward silence when someone asks, “Do you have something I can hang on to?” and you’ve got nothing for them to remember you by.
Your phone doesn’t talk to theirs, meaning they’ll easily forget your conversation…and your company.

In Manchester, England, a band called Bionic and the Wires is on the cutting edge of fun-guy (fungi) music, Metro News reported on Sept. 2.
Jon Ross and Andy Kidd are producing music by attaching sensors to mushrooms and plants to turn their electrical signals into musical notes. The sensors are attached to bionic arms, which strike the instruments.
The different organisms create different beats. "It's a really good way to connect with (plants and mushrooms) and a really sort of emotional experience," Ross said. [Metro News, 9/2/2025]

In a new twist on Ding Dong Ditch, German authorities have identified the culprit of late-night doorbell rings in Schwabach, Bavaria, United Press International reported on Sept. 9.
Police were called to an apartment building where several residents complained of the unexpected doorbells, but they couldn't see anyone on their front-door cameras. They suspected that kids were pranking them, but authorities discovered that a slug was crawling across a panel and triggering several doorbells in the process.
Officers relocated the slug and declined to press charges. [UPI, 9/9/2025]

Incompetent Criminal
As the Rhapsody of the Seas cruise ship pulled into port in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Sept. 7, one passenger disembarked in a most unusual way, USA Today reported.
Jey Gonzalez-Diaz jumped ship with his backpack, a criminal complaint alleges, which contained $14,600, two phones and five IDs. Two passing jet skis picked him up, and Customs and Border Protection later detained him near the Puerto Rico Capitol.
Gonzalez-Diaz told CBP that he went overboard because “he thought he was going to be taxed duties for bringing in the currency,” but it turned out he also had a $16,710 debt with the cruise line, “almost exclusively associated to casino and gaming expenses,” CBP said.
Gonzalez-Diaz could face a fine of $250,000, a five-year prison sentence or both. [USA Today, 9/10/2025]

Bottom line: Collateral extends your presence and multiplies your impact.

Investigators said her communications with the fake spaceman showed she had developed “romantic feelings” for him. [SCMP, 9/5/2025]
Richard Catrone, 67, of retirement community Belmont Villas in Long Island, New York, was walking his dog on Sept. 9 when 76-year-old Kathleen Schuman emerged from her apartment and shot Catrone in the face with a flare gun, NBCWashington reported.
As seen on home security video, Catrone let go of his dog's leash and lunged at Schuman: “My next inclination was to get the gun and I knocked it out of her hand ... I wanted to protect my dog,” Catrone said. “She claimed I was the devil, that I tried to murder her.”
Neighbors said the two have feuded before over Schuman sitting outside with her cat, which was “always upsetting his dog.” "I just asked her can you keep the cat inside,” Catrone said, “and that started the situation.”
Schuman was charged with assault and pleaded not guilty; her attorney said she would temporarily live with a relative. [NBCWashington, 9/10/2025]

Pets of the Week
LINK is pet of the Week at Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He is a 6-year-old, 79-pound, male, Labrador retriever mix.
Link was a puppy when he was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society from a rescue partner through Friends of County Animal Shelters. He spent time in foster care where he lived with adults, preteens and a medium- sized dog.
He was adopted and spent six years in his home. Now his family says they don’t have time for him, so they brought Link back to find a family that can give him the time and attention he deserves. He is a big dog with an even bigger heart.
His $145 adoption fee includes a medical exam, neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, registered microchip and a one-year license if the new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services.

Vista declines outside proposals for water park
By Leo Place VISTA — A Vista
City Council majority has decided not to seek outside proposals for ways to increase revenue for the Wave Waterpark at this point, despite strong advocacy from Mayor John Franklin.
The council has had repeated discussions since the beginning of the year about long-term planning for the Wave, with a study by Aquatic Design Group finding that the park will require between $14 million and $15 million to remain operational past the upcoming decade.
In August, the council authorized $3.5 million in funding for urgent repairs at the Wave, as part of a larger, multiphase process to reinvigorate the 30-year-old water park.
The council returned to the topic of the Wave on Sept. 9 to discuss whether to issue a request for proposals to explore ideas other operators may have for decreasing the city’s approximately $900,000 annual subsidy for the waterpark.
Franklin, who has repeatedly advocated for the council to hear proposals for the Wave from outside groups, said he wants to see the waterpark draw more outside visitors, who could then be charged a higher entry fee while keeping prices low for Vista residents.
He said there have been several interested groups — including four who respond-
tial operators.
“I have to ask the question — why are you asking so hard to have a private operator? I don't know if there's some kind of backroom deal that's happening. I'm not talking to those folks,” Contreras said.
Franklin strongly rejected this and insisted that he is not trying to have the city sell the Wave or relinquish control to a private operator. He also fired back at Contreras, accusing her of being paid by a lobbying group that attempts to influence outcomes at SANDAG, which he said is tantamount to “criminal activity.”
ed to a request for information earlier this year — who have expressed interest in increasing profitability for the Wave. One of these groups is Pacifica Enterprises LLC, which operates Belmont Park in Mission Beach.
“I believe there are seven organizations now that want to submit a proposal. They are waiting for this council to outline what items would be acceptable to make a proposal, and what items wouldn’t,” Franklin said.
While Franklin and Councilmember Jeff Fox supported the idea, the majority of the council declined, saying it would be premature to issue an RFP at this point. Some said that in the long term, they are concerned about the city’s control of the Wave slowly being eroded.
Councilmember Corinna Contreras said she would like to see the $3.5 million in repairs completed before bringing in another group. The work will address years of deferred maintenance by upgrading and modernizing all mechanical and chemical systems, replastering the lap pool, replacing the lower deck, and repairing waterslides.
“I would love to see these investments of $3.5 million actually come to fruition, and at that point, if we’re not seeing movement downwards in the subsidy, then potentially, you know, let’s talk about an RFP at that point,” Contreras said. “But we’re so far away from that, I think it’s a little premature to talk about it at this point.”
Repairs are expected to be completed by early 2027,
according to city staff.
Councilmember Dan O’Donnell said he would like to explore potential grants further to help offset the cost of some of the needed repairs before bringing in another operator.
“I think it’s very irresponsible to do this before looking for grants,” O’Donnell said. “Until I know we can’t get any other funding resources to offset the $15 million 10 years from now, I can’t support it.”
Franklin expressed frustration with Contreras, O’Donnell, and Councilmember Katie Melendez for not being open to possible RFP options, claiming that they were being fiscally irresponsible.
“This is what irresponsible spending looks like — an unwillingness to hear a proposal, because of the fear
that the council might be convinced of a good idea,” Franklin said sardonically.
He also claimed that the three councilmembers have a practice of approving unnecessary increases in spending with “half a million there, two million here,” which he claimed would drive the city toward an eventual deficit and bankruptcy.
Franklin gave the example of spending money to paint bike lanes green, as well as moving forward with a Parks Master Plan for the city.
The discussion quickly devolved into a heated back-and-forth, with Franklin shouting over other council members at one point. Contreras questioned why Franklin was pushing so hard for the RFP and talking with so many poten-
Contreras has disclosed her employment as a policy advocate for the Climate Action Campaign and denied any conflict of interest.
“I get to hold other jurisdictions accountable to their climate action plan, environmental justice,” she told The Coast News. “ I just don't even know what he’s talking about … I don’t interface with SANDAG like that.”
Melendez said she is not opposed to issuing an RFP for the Wave in the future, but reiterated that it’s not necessary to do so at this time.
“I’m okay with having those difficult conversations with the community, saying, ‘There is no way to afford this, we need Daddy Warbucks to come in,’” Melendez said. “I'm open to that conversation.”

Sandra “Gypsy” Willis, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother, passed away peacefully at home on September 3, 2025, just weeks before her 95th birthday.

while the great-grandchildren ran in and out of the house, playing nearby and decorating the driveway and garage with chalk.
She was born on October 13, 1930, in El Paso, Texas. In her teenage years, she spent summers in Pacific Beach, California, staying with her Aunt Gloria, who lived across the street from the Willis family.
(Astoundingly, she remembered when Grand and Garnet were dirt roads!)
It was during those summers that she met a handsome young Naval man, Milton Eugene Willis. Years later, the two married, and in 1957 they settled in Solana Beach, California, where they raised their family.
As part of the “Greatest Generation,” Sandra lived through the Great Depression, World War II, and nearly a century of remarkable change. Through it all, she carried herself with
strength, humor, and resilience.
She loved being “Mom,” “Grandma,” and “GG” to her family. She leaves behind 5 children, 12 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren.
Every one of her grandchildren grew up knowing her well, as she was deeply present in their lives, and she delighted in the company of her great-grandchildren as well.
Sandra remained active and engaged with life until just the last few weeks. She zipped around on her mobility scooter—sometimes to the peril of anything in her path. Though time slowed her body, her spirit remained bright.
Her legacy is one of love, strength, and endurance. She will be deeply missed.
(Don’t forget Mom: You are loved as big as the sky, forever and a day, and then some.)
Grizzlies coach, staff suspended
SMUSD confirms decision is related to ongoing probe
By Noah Perkins SAN MARCOS — Mission Hills High School announced Tuesday evening that Grizzlies head coach Chris Hauser and assistants Thomas Altieri and Edward Nuckols have been placed on paid administrative leave amid an ongoing investigation.
San Marcos Unified School District Public Information Officer Christine M. Lee confirmed the decision in a statement to The Coast News. The announcement was delivered via email to the families of football players by Principal Nathan Baker.
lighted by the Grizzlies’ first Open Division Championship in 2013.
In the interim, Mission Hills alum DJ Zapata, class of 2008, was named acting head coach. A two-sport standout, Zapata played baseball and served as the Grizzlies’ starting quarterback his junior and senior years, passing for 2,125 yards and 15 touchdowns as a senior.
The reasons behind the administrative leave remain unclear, and theories about the situation have circulated, though no official details have been released.

“San Marcos Unified School District confirms that members of the Mission Hills High School football coaching staff have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation,” Lee wrote. “No additional details can be shared at this time. Our priority is the safety and well-being of our students. The district is taking steps to ensure stability within the football program and to provide continued support for student-athletes.”
The announcement comes on the heels of Mission Hills’ 31-21 victory over Granite Hills and a fast 4-0 start to the season, with wins over Quartz Hill, Oak Ridge, and a 42-6 blowout of Oceanside. The Grizzlies are currently ranked No. 23 in California by MaxPreps and hold the No. 5 spot in the San Diego Section.
Following the win over Granite Hills, Hauser was selected as a nominee for the Los Angeles Chargers’ Coach of the Week honor.
Hauser began his head coaching career at Vista in 2000, guiding the Panthers to two CIF Championship appearances and 34 victories over four seasons. He joined Mission Hills in 2004 as the school’s first-ever head coach and helped turn the program into one of the county’s elite, high-
One Mission Hills player told The Coast News, “I don’t know anything,” emphasizing that the team’s focus remains on Friday night’s matchup at Ramona. “We’re taking it day by day, focusing on practice,” the player added.
A Mission Hills parent told The Coast News he is unaware of the reasons behind the coaching staff’s leave but expressed concern, drawing parallels to the February 2025 controversy at Vista High School, where varsity football coach David Faatuiese — known as Coach Vika — was let go following an investigation into athlete misconduct.
The decision prompted a packed district board meeting, with community members demanding answers and highlighting his positive impact on the program.
“This kind of thing happened at Vista and it decimated the school and program,” said the parent.
The news also took rival players and coaches across North County by surprise. One opposing coach called the situation “crazy.”
Mission Hills entered the season as a strong contender for the Open Division Section Championship, led by quarterback Troy Huhn, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound Penn State commit, and supported by a talented corps of wide receivers, including Josh Gonzales, Brayden Roberson, and Ryan Mackenzie. The Grizzlies open Avocado League play on Oct. 3 at home against La Costa Canyon.

Escondido Charter resilient in face of injuries, loss
White Tigers a force in Pacific under Jimenez
By Noah Perkins
On the eve of the fall season, second-year Escondido Charter girls’ volleyball head coach Alvaro Jimenez spent time with his White Tigers discussing focus, resilience, and mental toughness.
Over the summer, the team practiced mindfulness and visualization through daily talks and team-bonding exercises, often centering on a “word of the day” — with grit emerging as a frequent favorite — and drew on John Wooden’s Pyramid of Success to build teamwork and perseverance.
Through the first half of the season, Jimenez hadn’t expected his team to rely on those lessons so heavily.
During the opening game of the Calvin Christian Tournament on Sept. 5 — a 2-0 loss to Escondido — senior outside hitter and team captain Clarissa Goss, a versatile player who can also play setter and right-side hitter, suffered a likely season-ending ACL injury after landing awk-
wardly on her left foot and twisting her knee.
Goss will serve as a team manager for the rest of the season.
Junior setter Olive Johnson, the White Tigers’ other captain, became the next key player to go down, expected to miss at least two weeks.
Already managing a
lingering ankle issue, Johnson suffered a mild hamstring strain and a minor MCL strain after landing on her opposite leg during a game.
The team leader in kills (63) and aces (32), Johnson is an impossible-to-replace player for Jimenez. Digs and aces, wins and losses — none of it
compares to the challenges one of the White Tigers has faced off the court, navigating the death of her father in a car accident.
“They’re very resilient,” Jimenez said. “Yes, we get sad about these things. Yes, we lose focus for a moment, and it throws us off — but we manage to ground ourselves, stick with our goals, and use it as motivation. We do this for [our injured players] as well, because they’re part of the team, and we want to support them just as they support us.”
“Even when they’re not on the court, they find ways to be useful,” he added. “It’s the team cohesion and culture we’ve been building, and at such short notice, I’m really impressed with how they’ve adjusted and just run with the program.”
Jimenez says his focus on mental toughness and resilience in the preseason comes from his own life experiences. Growing up in Puerto Rico, he moved to the mainland after Hurricane Maria in 2017.
“Coming from another place and going through a lot of challenges, then overcoming that adversity myself, I try to transfer those lessons to the team,” Jimenez said. “I share TED Talks and other motivational material to help
them build the tools they need to overcome challenges of their own.”
Despite obstacles on and off the court, Escondido Charter has been a surprise in the Pacific League, racing to a 14-6 start, including silver bracket finishes in both the Calvin Christian Tournament and the North County Classic, following a tough 9-16 season in 2024.
“The major strength of our team is adaptability,” Jimenez said. “It’s been dramatic; it’s been emotional, but that has given us fuel. We’re working toward winning league this year.”
League play opens Sept. 16 at home against Foothills Christian in an improved Pacific League, following the addition of Classical Academy, which dropped down from the Coastal League.
In the wake of the injuries, Jimenez has leaned on the depth of his roster and given younger players a chance to step into larger roles.
“I am trying to build a program from the ground up, where the novice and JV teams and their players have an opportunity to move up through the season,” he said. “I’m also giving younger players the experience they need to add depth to the program for
this season and the next.”
Three freshmen — outside hitter Mackenzie Harlan, opposite hitter Avery Park, and middle blocker Ava Pike — have become essential pieces for the depleted team.
“They’re beginning to take on bigger roles, and while they’ll make some rookie mistakes, they keep improving every day,” Jimenez said. “Mackenzie Harlan, in particular, has stepped up as an outside hitter and has helped get both our offense and defense running smoothly.”
Jimenez also singled out senior outside hitter Audrey Cahill.
“She’s one of our seven seniors, and she’s really stepped up in her back-row play, her serving, and her overall offense,” he said.
Early August feels like a lifetime ago, but according to Jimenez, the team’s goals haven’t changed.
“We aim to win the Pacific League, capture the Division Four title, and make the playoffs,” he said. “With the depth and adaptability these girls have shown, I truly believe we can achieve this, even in the face of adversity.”
The regular season runs through late October, concluding with a matchup at St. Joseph Academy on Oct. 23.

Willkommen Oktoberfest!
Family fun meets German tradition in Carlsbad, Encinitas and around the county
By Cameron Adams
CARLSBAD — Oktoberfest season is back in North County, and Carlsbad and Encinitas, including the historic Olivenhain neighborhood, are raising steins for three straight weekends of German food, live music and family fun.
The first festival takes place from noon to 8 p.m. on Sept. 20 at the Carlsbad Strawberry Fields. Organizer Thomas K. Arnold said the move from the first week in October to late September was intended to align with the Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany.
Arnold added that, like in Munich, the event’s organizers, Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary and Rotary Club of Carlsbad, aim to make the festival a larger, family-friendly affair.
“Our whole goal is to make Oktoberfest as authentic as possible,” Arnold said. “We’re trying to bring the whole spirit of a big festival here to Carlsbad.”
beers, authentic German brews and more than 125 artisan vendors.
Carol Knight, community relations and membership director for the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce, said planning began in March.
“Each year it gets bigger and better,” Knight said. “I get really excited about Oktoberfest because it’s a great community event.”
She noted that the dog costume contest was inspired by visitors who had already been bringing dressed-up pets to the event. The festival, which has drawn more than 15,000 attendees in previous years, will be held on Mountain Vista Drive, between Wandering Road and Rambling Road. Admission is free. For more details, please visit the event website.
The history of Oktoberfest dates back over 200 years to the 1810 wedding celebration of Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen in Munich.

• Mother Earth in Vista is also serving an authentic German lager, but has Cali-Screamin, their seasonal pumpkin vanilla cream ale, available already.
• Cody Gagnon, owner and head brewer of Michi Brewing in San Marcos, is making a festbier so true to style that he’s even crafted the water profile to match the water used in Munich.
• Blue Fire Brewing in San Marcos collaborated with the I Like Beer team to brew a specialty beer for Oktoberfest.
The event, produced by Carlsbad’s two rotary clubs for the past 43 years, includes family activities such as a corn maze, along with a wide variety of food and drinks. A speakeasy hidden in the corn maze will debut this year, Arnold said.

“This time everybody is involved,” he said.
Tickets are $15, with presale information available on the event website.
The following weekend, Sunday, Sept. 28, the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce will host its 29th annual Oktoberfest and Artisan Faire from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The event will feature a dog costume contest, local craft
The final Oktoberfest of the season is set for Sunday, Oct. 5, at the Olivenhain Meeting Hall grounds. The band Our Song will perform a mix of German music and American pop standards, according to a press release.
Ticket prices vary by age and whether alcohol and food are included. Visitors who purchase tickets online will also receive a complimentary Munich-style pretzel from the San Diego Pretzel Company. Tickets are available on the event website.
The following year, the Bavarian Agricultural Association decided to continue the festival, marking the beginning of a tradition. In 1818, the event got crazy with the addition of a merry-go-round and swing sets. Chickens, a Ferris wheel and electricity followed over the years, contributing to making the Munich Oktoberfest the biggest party on planet Earth.
My father, the child of German immigrants, found something sentimental and captivating in local Oktoberfests here in Southern California. Much of my boyhood Septembers and Octobers were spent sitting in beer gardens, listening to polkas and waiting patiently for my father to finish his cultural reminiscing. As a result, my lifelong involvement in Oktoberfests was imprinted early on in life.
When Van Nuys Busch Gardens closed its doors in 1979, my father focused on festivities closer to our new home. Luckily, in the early ’80s, the Carlsbad Oktoberfest began. It’s 43 years later, and the Carlsbad Oktoberfest is bigger than ever.
The San Diego beer industry celebrates Oktoberfest in various traditional and unique ways.
• The Carlsbad Rotarians hold Carlsbad Oktoberfest on Sept. 20. Taking place underneath a massive tent, the Carlsbad Oktoberfest will serve imported German beers, specialty foods, and offer games, music and fun for all ages.
• The 52nd annual La Mesa Oktoberfest — the Großvater of San Diego Oktoberfests — runs Oct. 3-5. It’s an event not to be missed by the Oktoberfest enthusiast. Part of the three-day event includes the Dackledorf Dachshund Village (so furry friends can celebrate too).
• On Sept. 2, Karl Strauss released its annual Oktoberfest Marzen Lager for the 37th year in a row.
“Our German roots are represented in this trueto-style icon, and we can’t
“We are harkening into the ye-olde days when malts were made over an open wood fire and the resulting beer would be smoky,” head brewer Tommy Gordon said. “This is a style that hails from Bamberg, Germany, and we sourced our barley and hops from Bamberg for this beer.”
The Blue Fire-ILB Rauchbier will be released with a live podcast and name-the-beer event. Come out and join us for this delicious but hard-tofind beer style on Sept. 26, 5-7 p.m. at Blue Fire Brewing.
• Pure Project has its Ledgebier, a Vienna lager, available now. Specialty Steins will be available on Sept. 19, and on Oct. 2, they will host a soft pretzel class at the Vista location.
• Booze Bros will also celebrate on Oct. 2 with specialty 32-ounce steins, music and food specials including brats and a Helles Lager.
• The Brewers Taproom in Encinitas serves two Oktoberfest beers (along with an exceptional lineup of other beers).
Manager Travis Hudson sets up two kegs — one a traditional German import and the other a local Oktoberfest offering. At that point, the race is on to see which keg kicks first.
• To finish the long Oktoberfest run, the Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotarians will host their 14th annual Rancho Beernardo on Oct. 11. While not strictly an Oktoberfest, Beernardo has all the requisites: beer, music and good cheer. Prost!

Ruffino shines at Del Mar festival, Godfather
Ruffino 1877 made a strong showing at this year’s Del Mar Wine and Food Festival, pouring at two locations. In the general section, Ariana introduced guests to Ruffino’s sparkling and white wines: Prosecco, Prosecco rosé, Orvieto Classico, and the elegant Aqua di Venus Pinot Grigio.
In the VIP tent, brand ambassador Caterina Corvino Velez poured a flight of Ruffino’s reds, showcasing the depth of Tuscan winemaking. Guests enjoyed the Riserva Ducale Oro Chianti Classico Gran Selezione (DOCG), Greppone Mazzi Brunello di Montalcino (DOCG), Modus (Toscana IGT) and Modus Primo (Toscana IGT).
I had the opportunity to experience three of these wines just weeks earlier during Ruffino’s wine dinner at The Godfather in Kearny Mesa, which Caterina also narrated.
One new discovery at the Del Mar festival, however, was the Modus Primo, Ruffino’s limited-production Super Tuscan made from merlot, Sangiovese and cabernet sauvignon.
Aged 18 months in new French oak and produced in quantities never exceeding 10,000 bottles per year, Modus Primo reflects the finest expression of Poggio Casciano’s terroir. Its aromas of ripe cherry, orange zest and spice unfold into a full, harmonious palate with blackberry, chocolate and silky tannins.
The Modus Primo poured seamlessly with two standout neighboring bites at the festival: short rib empanadas from Amalfi Llama, served by GM Dino Lubat and brand ambassador Nadia Chopoff, and beef tartare from Estancia La Jolla Executive Chef Katie Weber.
Both dishes highlighted the wine’s depth and elegance, creating memorable festival pairings.
Caterina, Ruffino’s USA director and brand ambassador, is one of the foremost voices in Italian wine. Raised in her family’s fine dining restaurant and armed with sommelier certifications in San Francisco and New York, she has held leadership roles with Domaine Select and Constellation Brands.
Today, she represents Ruffino across the country, sharing Tuscany’s legacy through engaging storytelling and immersive tasting experiences.
Founded in 1877 by cousins Ilario and Leopoldo Ruffino in Pontassieve, Tuscany, Ruffino pioneered
a new era of Italian winemaking, marrying quality with vision. Their Riserva Ducale quickly won acclaim, even capturing the attention of the Duca di Aosta, who in 1890 made Ruffino the official supplier to the Italian monarchy.
From that legacy grew Riserva Ducale Oro, a gold-labeled Chianti Classico that remains one of Ruffino’s crown jewels. Through postwar challenges, global expansion in the 1950s, and milestones such as earning the very first DOCG strip for Chianti in 1984, Ruffino has continually elevated Tuscan wine. Innovations like Modus, their celebrated Super Tuscan, and the sustainability-driven Ruffino Cares program underscore their balance of tradition and progress.
Today, Ruffino’s excel-
lence is recognized worldwide — most recently with four wines earning top scores in Wine Spectator’s August 2025 issue, affirming their place at the pinnacle of Chianti Classico and beyond.
At The Godfather in Kearny Mesa, Ruffino’s wines took center stage in a five-course dinner that paired Italian tradition with culinary artistry. Executive Chef Hilario Rodriguez created the menu, while Caterina guided guests through the tasting, weaving Ruffino’s history into each pour.
The evening began with bruschetta, smoked salmon, and prosciutto paired with fig and creamy burrata, accompanied by Aqua di Venus Pinot Grigio. With citrus vibrance and herbal nuances of sage and rosemary, the Pinot
Grigio cut cleanly through the savory richness of the starters.
Next came tartara di filetto — raw beef balanced with mustard, capers and lemon zest. Ruffino’s Chi anti Classico Riserva Oro, with violet, cherry, and to bacco on the nose, brought vibrant Sangiovese acid ity and delicate tannins that lifted the dish’s earthy depth.
The third course, braised short rib tortellac ci in porcini cream, found harmony with Modus. Its blackberry, spice and bal samic hints echoed the mushroom glaze, while supple tannins carried the dish to a lingering finish.
For the main course, bistecca al ferri pizzaio la showcased prime flat iron steak with capers, ol ives and tomato. Brunello di Montalcino Greppone

Not too early to plant herbs for the holidays
Christmas in July or Thanksgiving in September? As vegetable gardeners, we grow food that is useful, not just pretty to look at. And right now, we are looking for culinary herbs to showcase in our upcoming holiday meals.
Botanists describe herbs as “plants that are useful for medicinal, culinary or fragrance purposes.” This month, we will be in search of growers and garden centers offering the useful herbs.
FARMERS MARKET
FINDS
Sue Lin of Whole Earth
Acres sells over 100 herbs at her farm stand in the Vista Farmers Market. She and her husband, Whitney Robinson, offer the largest selection of herbs and greens that I have ever seen at a North County farmers market.
She had recommendations for growing herbs in September that will be ready for holiday meals:
“The chef’s choice for turkey, stuffing and potatoes would be an Italian spice combination including gray sage, rosemary, Italian parsley, oregano and thyme. This
combination can be used in all the holiday savory offerings at Thanksgiving, Hanukkah or Christmas meals.
“Many gardeners don’t realize that there are numerous varieties of thyme and sage varieties in garden centers or farmers markets. We suggest the traditional English thyme and gray sage. Many of the sages are grown specifically for their flowers (purple sage, pineapple sage, red sage) but these are not suitable for culinary use.
“There are also numerous thymes on the market but some are too strong for the mix. Try tasting the herbs before you put them in
your container.”
All of these herbs can be planted in September and can be harvested throughout the fall season. Sometimes the simplest method of accomplishing this combination is to find an attractive container such as a ceramic pot or whiskey barrel.
This arrangement could be placed at your front or back door or on your kitchen patio. A friend of mine who is a serious gardener purchased a horse trough, drilled holes in the bottom, and filled it with her favorite herbs. She placed it on the back porch, right next to her kitchen door.
Of course, the positioning of this container would be relatively permanent, since the trough including the soil weighs over 50 pounds.
SO MANY CHOICES
The pursuit of the perfect container is similar to the pursuit of the perfect pair of black shoes. A tall, azure blue ceramic pot would not only catch your guest’s eye at the front door, but will also last for years to come. Be certain that the diameter of the ceramic pot is at least 15 inches across and stands at least 3 feet tall. You can use smaller containers, but the "wow" factor won’t be there!
This investment will last throughout the seasons and can be changed every few months. During the early summer, the blue vase can be filled with tomatoes and lettuce, changing to the Chef’s Choice in early fall.
I learned the do's and don’ts of creating a container garden in my first job, 20 years ago, at Carefree Gardens, a family-run garden center in Cooperstown, New York. Each year, for the Fourth of July, the Cooperstown Garden Club sponsored a container garden competition for the residents of this summer lake community.
We worked with the homeowners to create over 50 entries into the competition. I learned quickly from the owner, Mary Leonard,
how to prepare the perfect container.
“The trick," she said, "is to choose tall, medium and small plants that complement each other and fit harmoniously in the container. The landscape designer’s rule it to only use odd number of plants (3, 5 or 7) in the total design, with equidistant spacing in between each plant.”
Needless to say, I had to redo many of my first attempts before creating the winning combinations.
STEP-BY-STEP HERB CONTAINER
• When you make the decision about where to place your container, be certain that it is in a partial sun location. After locating the pot in its final spot, fill it with high-quality potting soil. Be certain that the soil is organic and not soil from your garden.
• If the container is exceptionally deep, add broken pottery or plastic peanuts to fill the pot to the halfway mark.
• Place the tallest herb in the middle of the pot. In this case it would most likely be the upright rosemary. Dig a hole the depth of the plastic pot, place the rosemary in the hole only as deep as the first branches, and press firmly into the soil. Be certain to loosen the roots before placing in the soil.
• Continue planting the other herbs in a circular, clockwise fashion until the
container is full.
• Each herb will have its own size and spacing requirement. For example, the English thyme will be the lowest of the group and requires space to spread, whereas the oregano will drape over the side of the pot and grow downward.
• Continue planting the five herbs until the planter is full.
• Water when soil is dry, and fertilize every two weeks.
• The fully grown herbs will be ready in November for your holiday meals!

CITY OF ENCINITAS
PUBLIC NOTICE OF ORDINANCE INTRODUCTION ORDINANCE NO. 2025-10
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Encinitas has introduced Ordinance No. 2025-10 titled “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Encinitas, California Adopting Amendments to Chapter 23.12 (Building Codes for Construction) of Title 23 (Building and Construction) and to Chapter 10.04 (2021 International Fire Code and 2022 California Fire Code) of Title 10 (Fire Prevention) of the Encinitas Municipal Code to Adopt the 2025 California Building Standards Code and the 2021 International Fire Code and 2022 California Fire Code with Certain Amendments, Additions, and Deletions. Case Number: PLCY-008321-2025; Citywide.” Proposed Ordinance No. 2025-10 would update the Encinitas Municipal Code to adopt the current state-mandated 2025 Building and Fire Codes. The following amendments are proposed pursuant to the City’s locally unique topographical, geological and climatic conditions, as stated in the ordinance preamble:
Building Code Amendments (EMC 23.12.030.B)
Building code amendments add various administrative authority such as the designation of a separate body appointed by the City Council to act as the board of appeals, a common practice among jurisdictions, instead of the City Council itself acting in that role. Additionally, de nitions for “Closet”, “Enclosed Space”, and “Newly Constructed Building” are added for clarity in determining what regulations apply to certain building permits. In particular, the “Newly Constructed Building” de nition de nes when an addition or renovation to an existing building is considered new construction. Most importantly, Building Code amendments explicitly state the City may leverage cost recovery for the review of building permit applications.
Fire Code Amendments (EMC 10.04.020)
The goal of the proposed Fire Code amendments is to align the City with regional and neighboring jurisdictions to promote consistency and e ciency in re prevention and emergency response, as well as adapt our regulations to meet the speci c needs and risks of Encinitas, including increased development, evolving wild re threats, and community expectations for safety. The amendments include updates to de nitions and application of fees, updates to Fire Service Features to meet regional standards and Encinitas Fire Department apparatus capabilities, additional requirements where re protection systems are required, additional requirements for fuel reduction and vegetation in Fire Hazard Severity Zones, optional cost recovery for excessive service/nuisance calls and maintenance of re protection systems, additional safety requirements for midrise and largescale developments, restrictions for above-ground ammable and combustible liquid tanks, ammable gases and cryogenic uids, and prohibition of lique ed petroleum gases. Ordinance 2025-10 was introduced at the Regular City Council meeting held on September 10, 2025, by the following vote: AYES: Ehlers, O’Hara, San Antonio, Sha er; NAYS: None; ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: Lyndes. The City Council will consider the adoption of this Ordinance at the September 24, 2025, Regular City Council meeting commencing at 6:00 p.m., in the City Council Chambers, 505 South Vulcan Avenue. The Ordinance is on le in the o ce of the City Clerk, 505 South Vulcan Avenue and may be viewed between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act/Section 504 Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title VI, this agency is an equal opportunity public entity and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, religion, veteran status or physical or mental disability in employment or the provision of service. If you require special assistance to participate in this meeting, please contact the City Clerk’s O ce at 760-633-2601 at least 72 hours prior to the meeting. /Kathy Hollywood, City Clerk.

Brother Benno’s opens free grocery-style store
By Samantha Nelson
OCEANSIDE — A new indoor market is offering free groceries and a dignified shopping experience for homeless and low-income households in North County.
Brother Benno’s launched the market just over a month ago to feed those in need while replicating the feel of a traditional grocery store.
Between 6:30 and 10 a.m. on weekdays and 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturdays, clients check in, grab a shopping cart and “shop” for free. Selections include frozen food, dairy products, produce, bread, cereal, meat, and other staples. To ensure supplies for all visitors, items are limited per guest.
The market replaces the nonprofit’s former outdoor bin system, where clients once lined up in the early
morning, regardless of the weather, to pick through food containers. Early arrivals got the best items, while latecomers often had few options.
“Candidly, to me, it was like feeding time at the zoo,” said Executive Director Paul McNamara.
McNamara, who took over two years ago, began shifting to a market-style system. During construc-
tion, bins were temporarily moved indoors until the shelves were ready. Now only quality items are displayed, while spoiled food is discarded.
Brother Benno’s collects food from stores including Trader Joe’s, Vons and Costco.
Director of Program Development and Innovation Veronica Cigarroa, who led the effort, said she
noticed a change in clients’ demeanor compared to the old system.
“There was more of a ‘scarcity mentality’ with the former system,” she said.
“Now I notice how at ease the clients are because they can take their time and shop at their own leisure without worrying about running out of options.”
Volunteers in Brother Benno’s recovery program restock shelves between shifts to give each group equal access.
“The entire experience has been uplifting for them,” Cigarroa said. “I love seeing the faces of new clients or those who haven’t been here for a while. Their eyes just open up.”
Families with children crowd the market on Saturdays. A volunteer noted the new setup offers a more dignified way for parents to gather food with kids present. Cigarroa said she hopes to add a “kids corner” with treats in the future.
According to the data collected, the market has enabled Brother Benno’s to serve approximately 30% more guests since its opening.
The market also helps clients who may feel unwelcome in traditional stores.
“Our guests don’t always feel comfortable going into grocery stores because they feel like they’re being
looked at or being suspected of shoplifting – maybe because of the way they’re dressed or because they were seen out on the street,” Cigarroa said.
McNamara said the system also reduces waste and ensures clients receive food they can actually use.
“This way, they’re able to pick what they want, and it also offers food they can prepare on their own,” he said. “If a client is homeless, for example, and we give them dry beans, they don’t have a stove and a bucket to soak them in and cook them, so that’s another reason why this is here.”
Under the city’s conditional use permit, clients must have a Brother Benno’s ID to shop or use other onsite services, which include breakfast between 6:30 and 8 a.m., showers and to-go lunches. The IDs also help the nonprofit track the number of people served.
“It’s a really great program and I’m really happy to be a part of it,” she said.

the debt financing they are seeking to expand their facility. Baypoint’s ability to repay this significant debt will be compromised if it is unable to achieve significant enrollment growth over the next several years — something that has never been done historically,” district staff said in a report.
Over the past two school years, enrollment at Baypoint has dropped from 237 to 162 students, per school data. However, Baypoint projects seeing a 39% rise in the 2025-26 school year to 225 students, followed by additional increases of 39% and 36% in each of the following two years.
If they did not see a projected enrollment of 225 students during this school year, the school said it would reduce expenditures by eliminating certain classified and substitute positions, reducing leadership compensation, and combining below-capacity grade levels.
The district also said Baypoint’s charter petition did not include descriptions of new charter school requirements enacted since the current charter was granted. Lastly, the district said the school also held an unlawful board of trustees meeting earlier this year due to a lack of a quorum.
Baypoint leadership was given time to address and cure the concerns from San Marcos Unified. However, the district said Baypoint “dismissed” the at-
tendance concerns and did not adjust its data, and also failed to properly address the other issues.
Baypoint CEO Frank Ogwaro and several Baypoint families pleaded with the district to approve the petition. Ogwaro said Baypoint is a prime candidate for charter renewal, and the concerns outlined by the district are not substantial enough to warrant rejecting the petition.
“We have been successfully operating our program for seven years and we are more than capable of continuing to do so in the next renewal term,” Ogwaro said. “We believe it is unwarranted to deny renewal of a high-performing, well-established school in this community for initial concerns that were immediately addressed, and additional reasons such as language was missing in the petition to address more recent updates to Ed Code.”
According to district staff, Baypoint can appeal the district’s decision to the State Board of Education and request that it be the chartering authority once again. The Coast News has reached out to Baypoint for comment regarding its next steps.
‘Second
chance’
Several parents said Baypoint provides support for students that they were unable to find at other San Marcos Unified schools. They said they enjoy the looping model, in which a teacher remains with a group of students for more

Parent Jonathan Perez said his daughter was originally enrolled in a public school, but they were told right before the school year started that there was no room for her. They reached out to Baypoint and were immediately welcomed into the school, he said.
Another parent, Priscilla Nelson, said Baypoint makes her son feel safe and supported compared to public schools. He struggled to speak clearly when he was younger, and Baypoint

has made a huge difference in my life. I’ve had teachers who supported me when I struggled, classmates who’ve made me feel included, and a school community that always believed in me. I’ve learned more than just facts. I’ve learned confidence, responsibility, and how to be part of something bigger than myself,” Cruz said.
Other students said the school has given them opportunities they can’t find at other schools. Two girls on the Baypoint archery team said they have been able to compete at the national level and are among the best in their age groups in the state.
study school in San Marcos that closed when Baypoint opened.
The school also sought charter petition approval from the San Marcos Unified School District in 2018, but was rejected. The school appealed the decision to the San Diego County Office of Education, which also rejected it. Baypoint then took the case to the State Board of Education, where board members overrode a staff recommendation for denial and approved the petition.
Baypoint was accredited by the WASC Accrediting Commission for schools in 2022.
has helped him to greatly improve his speech.
“This is our school and it’s our choice. Don’t take that from us,” Nelson said. “When is it going to be about our babies, about their education? It’s all about them. These children are our future, but they cannot be our future if we as adults are selfish.”
Several students were also engaged in the discussion, and spoke up in support of their school. Student Josiah Cruz said he loves Baypoint, and that seeing it close would be heartbreaking.
“Personally, this school
“I’m really proud of that, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support I get here. I also like that the younger girls in elementary can see me and know they can do it too,” said sixth grader Sarah Budfoloski. “Baypoint is a place where we get to try new things, learn, and support each other. I really hope this school can continue for many more students because it has made a big difference in my life.”
Trustee Stacy Carlson said she supports school choice as well as charter schools. However, district staff informed the board that if they approved the charter, San Marcos Unified would be held liable if the school is involved in any legal issues.
Baypoint was founded by many of the same individuals who were involved in Bayshore Preparatory Charter, a K-12 independent
The Baypoint community underwent a period of upheaval last year when the small charter school suddenly laid off half of its teachers. These layoffs sparked an outcry from some families, with some of whom ultimately withdrew their children from the school.
One parent speaking at the meeting claimed that some of these families who left last year were responsible for writing emails to the district, urging them to deny Baypoint’s renewal petition.
The district noted that they received emails both in support of and in opposition to the renewal.
“They shouldn’t speak for me and I don’t think they speak for the rest of those in support tonight. So, I would like to ask you to please give the school a second chance to grow in the community by granting its renewal,” said parent Terry Celine.

Inaugural PitchFest showcases North County’s startup energy
ENCINITAS — The Group SD launched its inaugural PitchFest this month, drawing entrepreneurs, investors and community leaders together for a night organizers hope will spark the next wave of innovation in North County.
Hosted at C3bank’s Encinitas branch, the event featured six early-stage companies presenting their visions before mentors, potential investors and a supportive local audience. The goal was to help founders sharpen their message, connect with capital and build momentum for ventures rooted in the region.
“The inaugural PitchFest was more than just an event, it was a testament to what happens when community, vision and support come together,” said June An, who spearheaded the program with The Group SD. “North County is full of dreamers and builders, and PitchFest gave them a stage not only to share their ideas but to feel the strength of a community that believes in them. This project matters deeply because it plants seeds for the next generation of businesses that will serve and shape our region.”
Unlike a traditional investor showcase, PitchFest paired each participating company with a mentor weeks in advance. Mentors guided founders through practice sessions, helping them distill their five-minute pitch into a story that highlighted their mission, customers, financial assumptions and their “ask.” The ask referred to how much money they hoped to raise and how it would be used. One facilitator explained that the purpose of PitchFest was simply to pique interest. From there, the process of securing investment can take a month or more, with multiple meetings, financial reviews and negotiations before any agreement is signed.
For many founders, that preparation was as valuable
belief was the bigger takeaway. “Out of the inspiring presentations, six companies were chosen for mentorship and support, with funding awarded to the most promising ventures,” he said. “But more than funding, what everyone walked away with was belief, belief in themselves and belief in what this community can do when it rallies around its people.”
as the event itself. By the close of the evening, all six companies were paired with mentors to continue refining their plans, and several drew early investor interest. The lineup reflected North County’s breadth of talent, spanning sports technology, entertainment, clean energy, wellness and medtech.
Companies included Flag50, a mobile-first flag football solution for scoring, streaming, athlete profiles and statistics; SpinCircle, a DJ booking platform that connects performers directly with promoters; DCarbon Solutions, a turnkey software provider helping solar owners secure renewable energy credits and trade them on major platforms; EDERRA, a luxury wellness brand sourcing superfoods such as broccoli microgreens and lion’s mane mushrooms from trusted local farms; FasterForests, a biotech startup focused on sustainability; and Reacher Technologies, a medtech company developing performance and health-monitoring applications.
While investment opportunities were part of the draw, An emphasized that
That sentiment echoed through the room, with local business leaders applauding not only the pitches but also the collaborative spirit that brought mentors, investors and entrepreneurs together. “The intention for our Encinitas location has always been to be a local business hub, where our customers and our community can connect,” said Tommy Wornham, chief banking officer at C3bank. “When the team shared their idea for PitchFest, it felt like a perfect fit for our space.”
Organizers said a second PitchFest is likely, though no date has been set. For now, they are focused on nurturing the relationships sparked at the first event, with mentors continuing to meet with founders and investors beginning exploratory conversations.
As The Group SD and its partners look ahead, the hope is that PitchFest becomes a cornerstone of North County’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Organizers envision it as a place where ideas can take root, founders can gain confidence and the community can see firsthand the innovation being built in its backyard.
The Group SD also hosts regular Feelgood Friday networking events for entrepreneurs, creatives and community members. To follow along, visit them on Instagram at @thegroupsd. The organization also produces a podcast, Heart of the Matter, available on YouTube, Spotify and at thecoastnews.com.
