Carlsbad man serving 115 years for sex crimes By City News Service

CARLSBAD — A professional photographer previously sentenced in San Diego County to 25 years in state prison for sexually assaulting teenage girls during modeling sessions at a rented Carlsbad residence was sentenced in Oregon on Aug, 4 to 40 years in federal prison. Robert Koester, 59, who was sentenced by a Vista judge in 2019 to 25 years in state prison, pleaded guilty in two separate federal cases involving the production of child sexual abuse material, one of which concerned KOESTER crimes in Koester’s home state of Oregon and another related to crimes in San Diego County. He was also sentenced in Oregon state court to a 50-year prison sentence for a series of sexual assaults, which will be served concurrently with his other two sentences. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Oregon said that at the time of the crimes, Koester was in his late 40s and early 50s, while the victims were as young as 15. Prosecutors said Koester lured the victims “with the promise of a career in the fashion industry through his modeling agency, Frank Model Management.” Koester was arrested in Carlsbad in late 2018. In his San Diego County case, he pleaded guilty to nearly two dozen felony counts related to raping and inappropriately touching the TURN TO KOESTER ON 35

Encinitas retail property sold for $4.7M By Cameron Adams

ENCINITAS — A local property developer has purchased a fully leased retail building in downtown Encinitas that had remained in the same family’s ownership for more than six decades. RAF Pacifica Group, or RPG, purchased the 4,939-squarefoot property encompassing 548 to 568 South Coast Highway 101 in an off-market transaction first reported by Rentv.

Carlsbad planners back Village housing project Decade-old Village Square clears key hurdle By Cameron Adams

CARLSBAD — The latest version of a mixeduse housing development in Carlsbad Village, nearly 10 years in the making, has cleared another hurdle, with the city’s Planning Commission voting to recommend the City Council approve the project. The site at 430 Carlsbad Village Drive, at the corner of State Street, currently houses two restaurants operating out of shipping containers with a second-level dining deck. The proposal, Carlsbad Village Square, would replace them with a 19,225-square-foot, four-story building containing seven condominiums — four one-bedroom units, two two-bedroom units and one three-bedroom unit — along with 2,978 square feet of ground-floor commercial space on the 0.172-acre site. The plans call for nine residential parking spaces, including four one-car garages equipped with mechanical lifts to accommodate eight vehicles and one ADA-accessible space. The project’s proposed density is 40.7 dwelling units per acre, above the Village Center district’s standard maximum of 35 units per acre. One of the seven units would be reserved for a low-income household earning up to 80% of the area median income, allowing the project to use provisions of the state’s Density Bonus Law. Under those provisions, the developer is seeking five waivers from city development standards involving setbacks, the amount of commercial space along the ground-floor street frontage, commercial parking requirements, garage dimensions and upper-story stepbacks. City staff said state law limits the city’s ability to deny the waivers unless specific findings can be made involving public health and

safety, state or federal law, or historic resources. Kirk Moeller, an architect who spoke on behalf of the project, said his team tried to minimize the number of waivers and comply with existing standards as much as possible, but that accommodating the residential portion of the project while meeting an 80% commercial frontage requirement was untenable. The project proposes 51% commercial frontage. “There was just physically no way to do it,” Moeller said. “And that’s when we went the route of the density bonus.” He added that plans for what business would occupy the commercial space have not been finalized, but said the team envisioned potentially maintaining the site’s current use with a restaurant or cafe.

Long road back

The first version of a similar project on the site was submitted to the city in 2016, according to city documents. At a March 2018 hearing, the City Council “expressed concerns with bulk and scale, citing that the project was not consistent with the character of the Village.” The council voted to deny the project the following month. A new application was submitted in 2023 after several changes to state housing laws altered the development landscape and limited the grounds on

which municipalities could reject certain housing projects, according to Mike Strong, Carlsbad’s community development director. “The new application was submitted in 2023,” Strong said, “demonstrating that the rules of reviewing and considering land use development applications are different than what was in place in 2018.” The proposal comes just days after the City Council approved another mixeduse condominium project less than a mile east along Carlsbad Village Drive. On July 28, the council voted 4-1 to approve a five-story development at 840 Carlsbad Village Drive with 50 for-sale condominiums and 3,801 square feet of groundfloor commercial space. The project nearly doubles the 26 units otherwise allowed under city plans and received six waivers for development standards, including height and parking. Council members criticized state housing laws for limiting the city’s ability to reject the project. Carlsbad Village Square has undergone its own changes under an evolving housing landscape. A 2025 revision increased the number of residential units from five to seven. “We didn’t increase the square footage, we didn’t increase the shape of the building,” Moeller said. “We simply made the units a bit smaller. We were trying to be cognizant of the massing and look of the building

when doing that.” Some residents raised concerns during public comment about how the project would affect the character of the Village, saying its size and appearance would be out of proportion with the surrounding neighborhood. Kris Wright, a board member of the Equitable Land Use Alliance, gave a presentation on the history of the site using historical photographs and documents. She said the property was first developed in the 1920s as a gas station before serving as the location of several other automotive businesses. Joe’s Transmission was the last such business to occupy the site and closed in fall 1983, according to Wright’s research. “For 62 years, this property was subject to no environmental regulations as the California Environmental Protection Agency was established after the close of business of Joe’s Transmission,” she said. “There were no regulations to monitor fuel storage or to officially clean up spills. Contaminants just leached into the ground.” Wright called on the commission to deny the application over health and safety concerns, one of the grounds available under state Density Bonus Law for denying a waiver under certain circumstances. City documents show the former gas station had three underground storage tanks that were removed in April 1998 along with contaminated soil. A limited Phase II environmental site assessment completed in 2000 found very low levels of contamination in groundwater and very low to nondetectable levels in on-site soils, concluding that additional remediation was not required at the time because most of the contamination had been removed. Strong said more recent testing at six boring locations to depths of 16 feet also did not find contamination at levels requiring additional cleanup. “There were elevated levels of contaminants, but it did not elevate to a level

that required remediation at that time,” he said. However, the project would be subject to additional environmental safeguards. According to the staff report, the engineer who conducted the earlier assessment reviewed the current proposal and recommended soil-vapor sampling beneath areas where occupied portions of the building would sit directly over soil. The project is conditioned to complete that sampling before grading begins and prepare a soil management plan addressing the possibility of encountering contamination associated with the site’s former automotive uses.

Commissioner Kiley Fitzgerald cast the dissenting vote, citing health and safety concerns over the lack of dedicated commercial parking. City standards would otherwise require commercial parking, but the applicant is seeking a density bonus waiver eliminating that requirement. The project is also approximately 0.1 miles from the Carlsbad Village train station, meaning Assembly Bill 2097 generally prohibits the city from imposing minimum parking requirements because of the property’s proximity to a major transit stop, with exceptions including certain accessible and electric vehicle parking requirements. ‘Real benefit’ Fitzgerald noted that The commission voted while the arrangement may 6-1 to recommend approv- be “de facto” legal, it could al of the project to the City TURN TO VILLAGE ON 28 Council.

The dog days of travel

By Christopher Elliott

elcome to August, the month travel goes to die. Can you feel it? The system has been redlining for months, and now it’s starting to crack. Planes are filthy and hotels look neglected. The staff is exhausted and done with you. If you’re packing your bags for vacation, here’s what you need to know: You’re buying a product the travel industry can’t always deliver. Last month, with its storm delays, high cancellations and technology snafus, was just the warmup for air travelers. In good years (like 2025) cancellation rates stay around 1% in August. But in 2024, it was running about twice that rate, with the major carriers canceling more than 13,400 domestic flights. Fortunately, your vacation isn't a lost cause. You just need to adjust the way you travel, lower your expectations a little and adopt a few survival strategies. • Why the system is breaking: Delbert Lee has tracked this breakdown for years. He’s a former vice president of sales at a travel agency, and he’s consistently observed a 30% jump in service complaints every August. "The root cause is simple," Lee told me. "Capacity peaks and starts to degrade by late July." He calls it "operational decay." The service infrastructure is designed for a 60-day sprint, not a 100-day marathon. By the time mid-August rolls around, the machinery of travel starts to sputter. You see it in the little things. Or, in Isabella Rossi’s case, the gritty things. Rossi, a product officer for a social networking company in San Francisco, checked into a vacation rental in Half Moon Bay earlier in the summer. She already saw the cracks forming. The balconies were covered in dirt and old leaves. The kitchen didn’t have the basics — not even sugar, salt, or coffee.

"It felt like the host had stopped caring," she says. It happens at hotels, too. Brian Clark, a nurse anesthetist from Utah, recalls a late-summer trip where the fatigue was on display everywhere. His hotel room smelled and the carpet had "black traffic spots." "The grout in the shower needed a power washer," he says. It was a property that had clearly been hammered by guests since May. The housekeeping staff was focusing on turnover, not cleaning. • The great staffing exodus: Dirty carpets are one thing. The real problem with August is the human element. By this time of year, the college kids who staff the resorts are packing up. They’ve got to go back to school. "I’ve seen restaurants, golf resorts, hotels, all scrambling to cover for the last few weeks of summer because the staff has up and left," says Susan Stevens, a retired communications consultant who owns a vacation home in Michigan. The tourists are still there and the weather is beautiful. But there’s no one left to serve the clam chowder. The employees who remain are running on fumes. Susan Sherren, founder of Couture Trips, says flight attendants and gate agents are just fellow humans with frayed nerves. "Everyone goes into survival mode in August," she says. Clark noticed this in the sky. He was on a delayed flight last summer, and the airline blamed "crew availability," a classic burnout excuse. He observed a flight crew that looked "exhausted." "They weren’t rude," he says, "but they weren’t present." • Why we travel in August anyway: If the carpets are stained and the planes are late, why do we travel in August? It's a fear of missing out, says Joe Cronin, CEO of International Citizens Insur-

ance. He says we’re trying to cram in those end-of-summer-break plans. We treat travel like a checklist that must be completed before Labor Day. And that’s the problem. We have high expectations of a perfect vacation, but the industry can't really deliver on its promises. "Service providers are exhausted, service quality declines, and traveler expectations of the perfect vacation are still as high as ever," he says. Hotel rates peak in August, so you're paying Ritz-Carlton prices for a Motel 6 experience. So why are we surprised when something goes wrong? • How to survive the burnout: You’ve got two choices. You can cancel and go in January. Or you can change the way you travel. 1. Lower the bar a little. If you travel in August, stop expecting perfection. You aren’t going to get it. If the flight’s on time and the sheets are clean, you win. 2. Book the first flight of the day. Sherren advises choosing morning flights. The crews are fresher and the planes haven’t had time to break yet. 3. Find a quiet place. Airports are getting more crowded. Chris Gwilliam, an executive with Airport Dimensions. recommends you pre-book a lounge. If you can’t get into a lounge, find a gate that isn’t being used. Just get away from everyone else. 4. When everyone else is stressed and entitled, don’t add to the noise. No matter where you go, here's some advice you can take with you: Slow down. More than anything else, it's the frantic pace of an August vacation that'll kill you. Travel isn’t a race, and there's no prize for being the first person to board a flight.

omance scams are among the most devastating frauds because they don’t just steal your money, they exploit your trust and break your heart at the same time. Scammers prey on trust, loneliness, and human connection, so what begins as an innocent online conversation can quickly become an elaborate scheme designed to separate victims from their life savings. Scammers are patient and sophisticated. They spend weeks or even months building what appears to be a genuine romantic relationship before asking for money or introducing what they promise is a life-changing financial opportunity. In San Diego County, we’re seeing romance scammers use a particularly dangerous tactic. Victims believe they have met a legitimate romantic interest online who claims to be a successful investor in foreign currency markets, cryptocurrency, or other speculative investments. The scammer offers to teach the victim how to make easy money, presenting themselves as both a romantic partner and a trusted financial mentor. In one investigation, a victim believed he was in an online romantic relationship with a woman living in Japan. She convinced him to begin investing in foreign currency markets and provided him with what appeared to be an investment dashboard showing extraordinary returns. After receiving about $1,000 in profits on an initial $5,000 investment, he became convinced the opportunity was legitimate and invested hundreds of thousands of dollars with his online girlfriend’s guidance. When he later attempted to withdraw some of his funds, he discovered the investment platform was nothing more than a sophisticated sham and his money was gone. This type of fraud is becoming increasingly common and costly. According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, California reported 2,593 victims of confidence and romance scams in 2025, with losses totaling more than $158.9 million. That’s a significant increase from 2024, when 2,363 victims reported losses exceeding $112.4 million. There are warning signs everyone should know. Be suspicious if

someone you’ve met online: • Quickly expresses strong romantic feelings or pushes the relationship to move fast. • Refuses to meet in person or repeatedly offers excuses for why they can’t video chat. • Claims to be highly successful financially and offers investment advice or promises unusually high returns. • Encourages you to invest in cryptocurrency, foreign currency markets, or other speculative investments through unfamiliar platforms. • Asks you to keep your relationship or investments a secret. • Pressures you to act quickly before an “opportunity” disappears. Remember this simple rule: legitimate investments do not guarantee extraordinary returns, and legitimate romantic partners don’t ask you to transfer money or invest through websites you’ve never heard of. Before sending money or making an investment, talk to someone you trust. Scammers deliberately isolate their victims and discourage outside opinions because they know a fresh perspective can expose their deception. If you suspect an online relationship is a scam, stop all contact immediately. Never send additional money in an attempt to recover previous losses. Preserve all communications and financial records related to the scam. If you are the victim of a romance scam, file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov. Protecting yourself begins with healthy skepticism. The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office is committed to keeping our communities informed and protected as criminals evolve their tactics. By staying alert and spreading awareness, we can stop scams and keep families safe. To learn more about our Consumer Protection Unit, visit our consumer protection page at www. sandiegoda.com.

Encinitas backs plate readers amid privacy debate By Jordan P. Ingram

ENCINITAS — Thousands of motorists driving through Encinitas each day likely don’t notice the small black cameras mounted on light poles above intersections and major roadways. Unlike red-light cameras that photograph violations, these devices catalog nearly every vehicle that passes beneath them. Within seconds, the cameras record a vehicle’s license plate, make, model, color and other characteristics — everything from roof racks and bumper stickers to paint scratches and dents. The information can then be searched by law enforcement investigating crimes. For the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office, the technology has become a valuable investigative tool. For privacy advocates, it represents the expansion of a nationwide surveillance network à la George Orwell’s “1984,” capable of documenting the movements of millions of law-abiding Americans. Those competing views of automated license plate reader, or ALPR, cameras continue to fuel a national debate over how much privacy communities are willing to sacrifice in exchange for public safety. Encinitas first embraced the technology in 2022, approving seven license plate reader cameras after sheriff’s officials said

they would help deputies identify stolen vehicles, locate wanted suspects and solve crimes more quickly. Two years later, the City Council approved an additional 17 cameras from Atlanta-based Flock Safety, bringing the city’s network to 24 cameras at key entry and exit points. At the time, the city’s expanded program drew relatively little public opposition. Residents who addressed the City Council largely praised the cameras as a tool to help deputies investigate crime, citing few drawbacks.

“I support any reasonable technology that helps keep our community safe,” resident Tim Bratton wrote in comments submitted to the city. “These cameras provide law enforcement with another investigative tool while requiring officers to continue developing probable cause before taking enforcement action.” Encinitas resident Desiree Gonzales, who survived a hit-and-run collision, urged the city to approve more cameras, writing that she wished investigators had the technology when her own case was

under investigation. “If these cameras can help another victim find justice,” she wrote, “they’re worth having.” The Sheriff’s Office has pointed to several cases in which the technology helped investigators identify suspects and recover stolen property. Because of the way Flock collects data, however, the department said it cannot provide search data specifically for cameras in Encinitas, only for its countywide ALPR network, a spokesperson said. Sheriff’s officials cited a string of residential burglar-

ies in Encinitas, Del Mar and Solana Beach last year as a recent example of the technology’s effectiveness. The investigation began after a gold, four-door sedan believed to be an early 2000s Lexus was captured on surveillance footage during a Del Mar burglary in March 2025. Similar vehicles were spotted during subsequent burglaries in Encinitas and Solana Beach, but surveillance cameras failed to capture a license plate. Detectives searched ALPR records using the vehicle’s description and the dates, times and locations of the burglaries. Flock cameras identified a gold 2002 Lexus ES300 in the areas of two of the crimes, giving investigators a license plate and registered owner. After another attempted burglary in Encinitas involving what appeared to be the same vehicle, detectives detained the registered owner and served search warrants. Investigators recovered property connected to earlier burglaries and clothing matching what the suspect had worn during the crimes, according to the Sheriff’s Office. The suspect was arrested on multiple burglary counts and later linked to numerous residential burglaries across the county, including crimes in Encinitas, Solana Beach and Del Mar. The Sheriff’s Office said the case shows how ALPRs can provide investigators

with leads when other avenues fall short. “The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office firmly believes that when used responsibly, with rigorous oversight and transparency, ALPR cameras are an invaluable tool for keeping our communities safe,” the department said in a statement. “The Sheriff’s Office uses Flock safety technology to capture objective evidence while ensuring individual privacy is not compromised. To ensure proper usage and maintain transparency, the Sheriff’s Office has implemented strict policies and safeguards to protect civil liberties and has made relevant policies and usage statistics available to the public.” In 2024, sheriff’s officials also told city leaders that crime in Encinitas declined 14% during 2023 while the initial camera network was in operation, though they did not attribute the drop solely to the technology. “License plate readers are a force multiplier,” sheriff’s officials told city leaders during a May 2024 presentation, explaining that deputies cannot be everywhere at once, but cameras can continuously monitor vehicles entering and leaving the city.

Driver killed in crash

Carlsbad repaving project advances By Cameron Adams

By City News Service

FALLBROOK — A 38-year-old motorist died Aug. 11 in a predawn pileup caused by a DUI suspect driving the wrong way on Interstate 15 in the far northern reaches of the San Diego area, authorities reported. Marcelo Bejarano of Escondido was fatally injured shortly before 12:30 a.m. when the car he was driving was struck by an SUV traveling to the north on the southbound side of the freeway near state Route 76 in Fallbrook, according to the California Highway Patrol and San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office. Bejarano died at the scene of the wreck, which also involved several other vehicles, officials said.

Man, 67, arrested after Vista standoff

A 67-year-old man who was already familiar to authorities due to multiple recent disturbances was arrested Aug. 4 after allegedly threatening to shoot and stab anyone who entered his apartment after destroying a window and firing a BB gun at vehicles. Deputies responded about 5 a.m. to the 400 block of North Santa Fe Avenue after reports of an assault in which a victim was shot with a BB gun but was not injured, according to the Sheriff’s Office. The victim took cover behind a nearby wall, fearing for his life and not feeling safe to return to his apartment. Authorities identified the suspected shooter as Logan Hines, whom deputies were already familiar with because of multiple reports of disturbances. According to the Sheriff’s Office, Hines destroyed a window in his second-floor apartment and began throwing various items into the communal courtyard. He also allegedly used a BB gun to shoot at vehicles while verbally harassing neighbors. As deputies attempted to make contact with Hines, he allegedly threatened to shoot and stab anyone who entered his apartmen. After nearly an hour of negotiations, Hines exited the apartment and was taken into custody. Investigators later executed a search warrant at Hines’s apartment and found methamphetamine and a methamphetamine pipe, a Taser, metal knuckles, a homemade spear, multiple knives including a machete, and black BB pistols, according to the Sheriff’s Office. — City News Service

Escondido reviews Hill Valley townhomes By Samantha Nelson

ESCONDIDO — A North County developer wants to build up to 126 townhomes on a vacant property near several light industrial uses and along the city’s border with San Marcos and the unincorporated community of Eden Valley. The Escondido City Council unanimously agreed July 29 to allow the city to process Rincon Homes’ application for a General Plan amendment that would change the land-use designation of the property at Hill Valley Drive and Hill Valley Road to allow attached multifamily homes. Although the property is already zoned for residential use, without the amendment, only detached single-family homes on large lots could be built on the site. The property is bordered by the city of San Marcos to the north and west, light industrial uses to the east and large-lot homes to the south. If approved, the “Hill Valley Escondido” project would include either 125 or 126 for-sale townhomes with three or four bedrooms, including seven units reserved for purchase by very low-income families. The project would also reserve about 33% of the property as open space. Jonathan Frankel, vice president of forward planning for Rincon Homes, said the company is one of the few builders in the region that includes for-sale, onsite, deed-restricted affordable housing in its projects. Rincon Homes is also behind about 500 other housing units in the city, including the redevelopment of the former Escondido Country Club site. Frankel said the company likes the Hill Valley location because of its proximity to amenities such as Palomar Medical Center, state Route 78, the Nordahl Sprinter Station and nearby shopping and dining. He also noted that while the area is somewhat undeveloped now, upcoming projects will change the surrounding landscape. Those include Valiano, a 326-unit development spread across five neighborhoods in Eden Valley between Escondido and San Marcos that is cur-

rently under construction. “This area will see a significant amount of change, and we think that this project will fit in really nicely to what the future of this area will become,” Frankel told the City Council. Frankel also said the project would help provide more attainable housing options for young families and working professionals who otherwise could not afford the average detached single-family home. The median home price is about $1.02 million regionally and about $846,000 in Escondido. Homes in a for-sale townhome project like Hill Valley would sell for around $665,000, according to Frankel. Under the state’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation, Escondido must plan for about 9,607 homes by 2029 but has permitted only about 24% of that amount so far, falling well short of its goal. The project would not only help boost that number but also provide more opportunities for first-time homebuyers, something council members have expressed interest in several times before. Although more homes are needed in Escondido, some raised concerns about potential health and safety impacts on future residents because of the project’s proximity to industrial uses. “This is bad for both the future residents and bad for present and future businesses,” said Laura Hunter, who asked the council to stop the project in its tracks. Hunter said the project would be next door to hazardous materials and poten-

tially harmful air emissions. Although regulations could help mitigate such impacts, she said those measures could also affect and further limit nearby businesses. “When it comes to siting homes near industrial uses and emissions, a lot can go wrong,” she said. “Once residents are there and risks are known, industries have to be constrained in their operations.” City staff and council members emphasized that allowing the General Plan amendment application to proceed does not constitute approval of the project itself. Councilmember Consuelo Martinez supported allowing the application to proceed but said she would keep a close eye on the project as it moves through the review process. “I want to see what kind of potential health impacts this will have,” she said. Councilmember Judy Fitzgerald assured the public that the city would conduct its due diligence to ensure the project is properly reviewed and all potential impacts assessed. “We do prioritize housing, but never over public health,” Fitzgerald said.

CARLSBAD — The City of Carlsbad plans to resurface approximately 47 miles of streets throughout the city. The Carlsbad Traffic Safety and Mobility Commission unanimously voted at its Aug. 3 meeting to recommend the 2026 Street Resurfacing Project to the City Council. The project calls for resurfacing approximately 39 miles of residential streets and 8 miles of arterial and collector streets, according to city documents. No travel lanes are scheduled for removal as part of the project. Many roadways in the Village, Barrio, La Costa and Bressi Ranch communities will receive slurry seal applications, while stretches of El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road will receive a combination of slurry seal and asphalt overlay treatments, according to the documents. The plan also calls for crack sealing and spot repairs. The city’s approach prioritizes rehabilitative methods for older asphalt surfaces as a cost-saving strategy while extending the useful life of the pavement, according to the documents. In addition to the resurfacing, portions of El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road are scheduled to be restriped in accordance with the city’s standards and national guidelines for lane widths. Commissioner Pete Penseyres said the inclusion of 2-foot buffers on all roads with parked cars was “excellent” because it allows cyclists to be more visible and predictable while enabling people exiting parked cars to open their doors more safely. “This is one of the best things,” Penseyres said. “We’re doing this when we repave so the cost is nothing to make all of these improvements.” Penseyres added that he believes the 2-foot buf-

fer should be the minimum moving forward. “If you have more space, use it,” he said. The city is scheduled to advertise bids for the project in August, with bids due in mid-September.

Rail work resumes after tern nest season

Caltrans and San Diego Association of Governments construction crews will resume work within the Batiquitos Lagoon in Carlsbad as part of a double-track project after taking a pause for the peak California Least Tern nesting season, it was announced Aug. 11. Most of the endangered terns have migrated for the winter, freeing up the lagoon for work. When work within the lagoon resumes, crews will focus on track construction between La Costa Avenue and Avenida Encinas with the goal of moving the existing track alignment over to the newly constructed concrete double-track rail bridge in late 2026, according to a statement from SANDAG. Once train traffic is moved onto the new alignment, crews will work to remove the existing track on the wooden trestle bridge, remove and replace erosion protection, and demolish the existing wooden trestle bridge. The majority of work is scheduled Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.. The Batiquitos Lagoon Double Track Project will replace the existing 80-year-old wooden trestle bridge with a modern, double-track steel and concrete structure. In Batiquitos Lagoon — a protected 610-acre coastal wetland and marine conservation area — terns have dense nesting colonies near the lagoon’s mouth at South Ponto Beach.

SAN MARCOS — The Escondido Creek Conservancy is fundraising to purchase a 51-acre piece of land just south of San Marcos to preserve it as existing wildlife habitat. Known as the Altmann property, the site is visible from the San Elijo Hills community and is located near Double Peak, acting as a connection between nearby conserved lands, including the Sage Hill Preserve and San Elijo Ridge Preserve. The conservancy launched its fundraising campaign after the property was recently put up for sale. Their goal is to raise $1.2 million, and they are matching all donations dollar for dollar, up to $1 million. Executive Director Ann Van Leer said some people may assume the land is already preserved since it is currently open space, but that’s not the case. “It’s only when the bulldozers show up that people realize it’s not protected,” Van Leer said. “It doesn’t take much to see how much has already been developed in North County … We have an opportunity to save one of these last pieces, if people can donate and be part of this.” Established in 1991, the conservancy works to preserve and restore the Escondido Creek watershed encompassing over 75 square miles of land in North County. The watershed flows from the mountains above Lake Wohlford in Escondido through Harmony Grove and Elfin Forest down to the San Elijo Lagoon and empties into Cardiff Reef. Over its years of operation, the conservancy has helped to preserve more than 7,000 acres of open space. It also owns and manages over 3,400 acres of wildlife habitat. Last year, the conser-

vancy purchased the nearby 160-acre White-Atterbury property that extends from Harmony Grove into San Marcos, including Frank’s Peak, as well as the 96-acre Elfin Acres property to the south. If it can raise the funds, the conservancy will add the Altmann property to its conservation portfolio, expanding wildlife corridors and buffering other natural areas like Sage Canyon. “We’re trying to act quickly, because this could be snatched up by a different purchaser that has a different agenda for that property,” said Sheri Lees, conservancy brand and marketing director. The Altmann property includes two adjacent parcels of land south of Questhaven Road. By preserving these lands, the conservancy hopes to “keep Altmann wild” while also preserving views that are beloved by the San Elijo Hills community. “This is one of the last opportunities to protect a property of this scale in the special community of San Elijo Hills,” said conservancy board member Ed Philbrick, who also lives in San Elijo Hills. “Many generous supporters helped us save Frank’s Peak. Now it is time to protect the Altmann property before it is lost forever.” Those interested in helping the conservancy to obtain the property can donate through the conservancy’s website at escondidocreek.org/donate or by

Summer heat prompts hiking area closures

With increasing summertime heat in the extended local weather forecast, two popular hiking areas in the San Diego-area backcountry will be off-limits to the public for the remainder of August, forestry officials announced Aug. 10. The San Diego River Gorge and Three Sisters trails will be closed for the next three weeks “to ensure public safety and to preserve personnel and aviation (access) in the event of emerging wildfires,” according to a statement from Cleveland National Forest public affairs. Since the beginning of July, emergency services personnel have performed 11 medical rescues and 18 less urgent assists due to extreme heat in the two areas, forestry officials reported. The locales are popular recreation destinations accessed by the San Diego River Gorge Trail and Three Sisters-Cha’chaany Hamuk Trailhead, respectively. Under extreme temperatures and above-average humidity, some hikers experience the hardest part of the trail during peak temperatures and after depleting any water brought with them. — City News Service

Escondido rebids for long-awaited bike park City seeks new proposals after nixing 4 in spring By Samantha Nelson

ESCONDIDO — The city is once again seeking bids for construction of the long-awaited John Masson Memorial Bike Park after recently rejecting bids from four companies. The planned 4.6-acre bike park would be built on an undeveloped portion of the 40-acre Jesmond Dene Park, where local residents currently participate in offroad biking activities. The park is located on North Broadway at the northern end of the city. The project took shape in 2020, when the City Council approved up to $271,303 in Proposition 68 grant funding for the bike park. At the time, the council also chose to name the facility in honor of the late Councilmember John Masson. Because the community surrounding the bike park does not qualify as a severely disadvantaged community, the city was required to provide a $70,000 match. The city used American Rescue Plan Act funding to fulfill that requirement. In 2024, the city hired Kimley-Horn for about $66,000 to provide project management and design

services for the bike park. This past spring, the city issued a request for bids and received four proposals: $1.75 million from Sitka Construction Group, $2.11 million from RGC General Engineering, $2.49 million from DLF Construction and $2.98 million from American Ramp Company. Of the four bidders, only one met all of the city’s requirements for the project. However, just days before bids were opened, staff discovered a requirement that bidders be members of the Union Cycliste Internationale, or UCI. Only one bidder was a member.

Staff ultimately recommended rejecting all four bids and rebidding the project without the UCI requirement to allow for a more competitive process. The City Council unanimously approved the decision July 29 as part of its consent calendar without discussion. According to the staff report, city staff “intends to provide more visibility and outreach to the bike park contracting community” during the new bidding process. Once completed, the bike park will include a pump and jump track, skills track, and kids track, along

with benches and multiple viewing areas, a multiuse trail around a portion of the park’s perimeter, water bottle filling stations, a bike fix-it station and lodgepole fencing. “The proposed bike park would provide a safe, designated place for users to practice and develop their bike skills,” states the project’s initial draft study. The city anticipates that people currently using the undeveloped portion of the property for off-road biking would use the bike park once it is completed, along with new users. According to the project map, the open

dirt area frequently used by remote-control car drivers appears set to remain as is for now, while the bike park would be constructed toward the western end of the park. The bike park’s design is based on input from various community stakeholders, including city staff, park users and local residents. Its construction will also use “high-quality materials to minimize maintenance and ensure durability and longevity.” Construction was originally anticipated to begin earlier this year but has been delayed. Staff anticipates the project will take about four months to complete, including site preparation, demolition, grading, paving and landscaping. Construction will in-

volve equipment such as a backhoe, front loader, excavator, dump trucks, equipment trucks, air compressors, hydraulic pumps, asphalt boom pump trucks, and asphalt and concrete delivery trucks entering and exiting Jesmond Dene Park. Once completed, the bike park will only be open for daytime use. The project does not include overhead or wayfinding lighting. The closest bike skills park is Bradley Bike Park in San Marcos. Other bike skills parks include Luiseno Bike Park in Pauma Valley, Sweetwater Bike Park in Bonita, Greg Cox Bike Park in Chula Vista and Pacific Highlands Ranch Pumptrack in San Diego. Carlsbad’s Veterans Memorial Park will also include a bike track.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. All checks payable to Prestige Default Services, LLC. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 793-6107 or visit this Internet Website www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 26-19993. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (800) 793-6107, or visit this internet website www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2619993 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you

Encinitas’ Carney to join Chargers’ Hall of Fame made field goals that seaTeam to induct 34son, helping the Chargers capture the AFC championand advance to Super longtime kicker ship Bowl XXIX. than three deand WR Miller cadesMore after joining the franBy Noah Perkins

REGION — Last week, as the Los Angeles Chargers returned to San Diego for a two-day training camp, the franchise announced that Encinitas resident John Carney would be inducted into the Chargers Hall of Fame alongside former wide receiver Anthony Miller, becoming the 37th and 38th players honored by the franchise. A placekicker, Car- CARNEY ney remains the Chargers’ all-time leading scorer, a record built over 11 seasons with the franchise from 1990 through 2000. He converted 261 of 320 field-goal attempts during his tenure, an 81.6 percent success rate that made him one of the NFL’s most reliable kickers during the 1990s. Carney’s finest season came in 1994, when he earned first-team All-Pro honors from The Associated Press. He led the NFL with

chise, Carney’s 1,076 points and 261 made field goals are both franchise records, while his 29 consecutive made field goals from 199293 stood as an NFL record at the time. He was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week eight times and AFC Special Teams Player of the Month three times, and his teammates voted him the Chargers’ Special Teams Player of the Year following his first season with the team. In six seasons for the Chargers, from 1988 to 1993, Miller caught 374 passes for 5.582 yards and 37 touchdowns. The Pasadena native was named to the Pro Bowl after the 1989, 1990, 1992 and 1993 seasons. "We're excited to welcome two exceptional players, whose contributions will forever be woven into the fabric of our team's history, into the Chargers Hall of Fame," said President of Football Operations John Spanos. "To be voted in by your peers is the ultimate honor, and we're proud to celebrate

Strike Force season again stalls in conference final By Noah Perkins

OCEANSIDE — For the San Diego Strike Force, the third time was not the charm. The Arizona Rattlers defeated San Diego 43-37 Sunday in front of an announced crowd of 8,463 at Frontwave Arena in the Indoor Football League Western Conference Championship, completing a season hat trick against the Strike Force, avenging last year’s playoff loss and ending a season the San Diego organization has called the best in franchise history. “The biggest thing with playing Arizona is, it’s more about playing them than it is playing against the players,” Strike Force head coach Taylor Genuser said. “They stay very consistent with the way they call plays, the way they run their defense and the way they do their special teams, and they do a great job of recruiting to their system, so no matter who’s out there, they’re going to play disciplined football and do their jobs to a T.” The Rattlers are the IFL’s most decorated franchise, having won seven league championships since the team’s founding in 1992. The Strike Force struck first, with Ernesto Lacayo connecting on a 32-yard field goal late in the first quarter to give San Diego a 3-0 lead. Arizona answered in the sec-

ond when Max Meylor found Ron Brown Jr. for a 9-yard touchdown. San Diego reclaimed the lead when Kiael Kelly scored on a 1-yard run with 3:55 left in the half. The lead lasted just 25 seconds. Strike Force quarterback Nate Davis was intercepted by Yahsyn McKee, who returned the pick 50 yards for a touchdown. Arizona added a safety with seven seconds remaining in the half to take a 16-10 lead into the locker room. San Diego regained the lead early in the third quarter when Davis connected with Shane Hooks for a 24yard touchdown, putting the Strike Force ahead 17-16. Then the bottom fell out. Meylor answered with touchdown passes to Trey Odoms-Dukes and Brown, covering 28 and 29 yards, respectively, as Arizona scored twice in less than five minutes. The Rattlers took a 30-17 lead into the fourth quarter, and San Diego never regained control. Arizona converted 7 of 10 third downs on the night and held the ball for 37:13, nearly 15 minutes more than the Strike Force. Meylor finished 14 of 23 for 159 yards and three touchdowns through the air while adding two rushing scores. The Rattlers stretched their lead to 37-17 on Meylor’s 4-yard touchdown run

with 5:19 remaining before San Diego mounted a furious late rally. Davis found Hooks for a 50-yard touchdown 41 seconds later, then connected with Dallas Daniels for a 19yard score with 37 seconds remaining. Hooks caught his third touchdown of the night on a 2-yard pass with five seconds left, but San Diego failed to convert any of its three fourth-quarter twopoint attempts. Davis finished with 255 passing yards and four touchdowns, but the interception proved costly as San Diego was unable to overcome Arizona’s second-half surge. Genuser guided San Diego to a franchise-record 13-3 regular-season record this season and the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. On Aug. 7, the IFL named Genuser its 2026 Coach of the Year. Defensive lineman Adam Anderson and center Jalen Booth were named to the All-IFL first team, while Davis, offensive lineman Ivory Scott and linebacker Royce See were selected to the second team. For the third consecutive season, San Diego reached the Western Conference Championship. For the third consecutive season, its season ended there.

between,” Carney told The Coast News in March. “I don't think I was born with ice in my veins, but I give my father a lot of credit. He was a very hard-working man with a strong will, and if he set his mind to something, he was going to accomplish it. “I enjoyed challenges and preparation — whether it was practicing soccer for hours, practicing the trum-

pet in junior high for whatever piece I needed to get right, or training for kicking. I loved visualizing the game coming up, predicting what situations and what environment it was going to look like, and then preparing for that.” Carney, whose 23-season NFL career spanned from 1988 to 2010, grew up in Florida looking up to former Miami Dolphins kicker Uwe von Schamann. “He was our South Florida super kicker,” Carney said. “He was fun to watch on Sundays. I had to be patient and watch the Dolphins until they got to the red zone.” Since 2012, Carney has also operated Carney Training Facility in Carlsbad, working with kickers, punters and long snappers at all levels of the sport. The gym’s walls are lined with photos of professional special teams players who have trained with Carney over the past decade-plus, reading like a who’s who of the profession. “The garage gym was born when I started playing for the Saints [in 2009],” Carney said. “We kept our home here in San Diego, and going to public gyms just wasn't efficient, so I started putting equipment into the garage. Some of my

teammates from around the country started joining me, and we fed off each other, motivated each other and pushed each other. “When I slipped into retirement, I had some college guys wanting to get ready for the pros, and then it kind of grew. I didn't really have intentions of working with high school kids, but all of a sudden, high school kids started knocking on our door, and I really enjoyed watching them start the journey and blossom into great kickers and punters.” Carney and Miller will be formally inducted during a halftime ceremony Nov. 8, when the Chargers host the Houston Texans at SoFi Stadium. “What’s great about John is that he’s respectful and supportive of everybody’s climb,” said Drew Ferris, who had a brief NFL career as a preseason long snapper and now trains aspiring long snappers under Carney, “A lot of coaches will tell players they don’t have a shot, or they should quit, sometimes prematurely. “People don’t come to John to be told to quit; they come to get better and pursue their dreams. And as cliché as it sounds, John’s intentions are so pure that I think that’s what’s built his great reputation.”

i, kids! Rexy here! When I was getting ready to start school, I wrote a letter to my Grandma about something that was worrying me. See if you have any extra ideas! Dear Grandma, I’m excited to wear my new sneakers to school, but I’m worried they’ll get dirty. I can’t decide what to do. Do you have any suggestions? My Grandma wrote back and reminded me that sneakers are made to protect our feet, and it’s okay if they get a little dirty. She said we can wipe them off at the end of the day. Her letter made me feel much better! Do you have another idea? I’d love to hear from you! Remember, no question is too big, too small, or too silly. Your friend, Rexy

Gas Leak

Hundreds of moviegoers in Colombia fled the theater during a showing of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” thanks to a noxious smell, The New York Post reported on Aug. 3. Witnesses at the screening in Cartagena said they were overwhelmed by the stench of flatulence, forcing them into the hallways outside the showing. That’s right: Someone’s fart was so rotten that they cleared an entire theater full of people. The stinker hasn’t ‘fessed up — who can blame them? — and so strong was the smell that some speculated someone had set off a stink bomb. The anonymous air-befouler let it rip about halfway through the showing, and many moviegoers left without finishing the movie. [NY Post, 8/3/26]

Deep Freeze

An Alaska family cleaning out a deceased loved one’s home called authorities when they discovered human remains on the property, Juneau Empire reported on July 30. Juneau police say the body — a man who would have been in his 70s now — was found in a deep freezer located in a locked outbuilding, and has been identified as a relative of the home’s deceased owner, though no missing person’s report was ever filed for him. Police estimate the body had been stashed for years, and are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the man’s death. [Juneau Empire, 7/30/26]

Get Off My Lawn

Kyle James Steffen, 39, of Minnesota, faces charges after placing about 40 threeinch spikes in his lawn to deter neighborhood children from riding their bikes through his front yard on their way to a nearby park. KARE 11 reported on July 31 that a neighbor called police after witnessing Steffen yell at her children, and when police arrived, they discovered Steffen’s homemade spike strip. They charged him with a gross misdemeanor count of setting a spring gun/pitfall/ deadfall or snare. Steffen could face up to 180 days in jail or a $1,000 fine. His court date is set for Aug. 25.

Death Becomes Him

A 26-year-old Welsh man has been arrested for dressing in a black hooded outfit to mimic the appearance of the Grim Reaper, climbing the roof of a local hospital and staring into hospital rooms, The Independent reported on Aug. 5. Local resident Leon Gillespie has been charged with causing a nuisance or disturbance without reasonable excuse after a June incident at the Ysbyty Glan Clwyd hospital in North Wales. He pleaded guilty and was fined $270 for his stunt. [The Independent, 8/5/2026]

Precocious

It was all hands on deck when a kitten was discovered stuck behind a Honda owner’s front grille in Ames, Iowa. The car’s driver was in the drive-thru at a Scooter’s Coffee when she heard the kitten crying. Other drivers quickly gathered around, and the coffee shop manager called Ames Animal Shelter for help. “You could hear the cat crying out,” animal services officer Kathy Pike said. “We didn’t know how to get it out.” She then contacted a towing copany for more assistance. Jordan McKnight and Cole Denning from Central Iowa Towing and Recovery came over and had to dismantle the front part of the car enough for Pike to reach through and remove the kitten, who was showing signs of distress on a hot, humid day that felt like 118 degrees. The kitten — whom Pike named “Fika,” a Swedish word for “coffee” — was put up for adoption, and in an adorable plot twist, McKnight, who helped rescue her, ended up taking her home with him, much to the delight of his wife and daughter.

Outfoxed

After bottles of milk kept disappearing from outside his door, a man in Glasgow, Scotland, set up cameras to catch the culprit. On Aug. 2, Fox News reported that Gordon Campbell, 42, suspected a “vegan militant” was to blame for the stolen milk. “I didn’t really know exactly who would be doing it,” Campbell said. “I thought it was a person or an animal.” Campbell soon captured images of a fox scampering up the front steps, using its mouth to grab the bottle of milk, knocking it over and carrying it away. “All was forgiven when I saw its big ears and wee face,” Campbell said. As to whether he’ll be getting milk delivered in the future, Campbell’s not certain, but if he does, he says he plans to put a protective box on his front step for safekeeping of the bottles.

Customers in Hollywood, Florida, are free to abide by an unusual dress code at the Class Soiree Steakhouse: clothing optional, UPI reported on Aug. 4. On the first Monday of the month, the steakhouse offers a nude dining experience from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. Diners must be over 18 years old to participate, and are expected to follow additional guidelines, such as no touching without consent. Upon arrival, they are given a robe, a towel and a seat cover. Chef and owner Maurad Ali says his staff members — who remain clothed during the event — have been welltrained and are respectful of the hungry nudists.

The Butte County Sheriff’s Office Helicopter Unit joined the search and located the equine in the Granite Chief Wilderness, which is nearly 7,200 feet above sea level and difficult to reach. The horse was assessed, sedated and secured in a lift before being extracted. After being airlifted to the French Meadows Reservoir, the horse stood up and walked on its own to a trailer that was waiting to take it home. [UPI, 08/03/26]

Plane on Highway

A 21-year-old pilot is credited with a cool head and quick thinking after landing a small plane on Interstate 10 in Pensacola, Fox 10 News reported on Aug. 4.

It’s at your discretion, safe spot as possible,” controllers said. “We’ll get the vehicles out for you.” Shelton was able to maneuver the plane to safety while avoiding cars and even a highway sign that was in her flight path.

It’s a Mystery

An Australian family made an unusual discovery during a home renovation project in New South Wales: a book in a desk that was bricked into the fireplace. UPI reported on July 31 that the book, “The Antiquities of Athens,” was published in 1858 and checked out from the Kiama Public Library 150 years ago. The library has done away with fines for overdue materials, which is a good thing, because otherwise the late fees would have totaled $20,000. The library says that the book will not be put into circulation but into a public display of a collection of significant items. [UPI, 7/31/26]

Fate of osprey nest disappoints Cardiff neighbors By Cameron Adams

ENCINITAS – Camille Clemens has seen many people build homes and move to Encinitas in her 51 years as a resident of Cardiff. Clemens bought her home in 1975, over 10 years before the city incorporated, and told The Coast News that many of her neighbors have been unchanged in that time. They saw the population grow from around 5,000 in 1970 and 10,000 in 1980 to over 60,000 residents in 2025, according to the U.S. Census. But in April, one family new to the area caught her eye. “When you're driving down Manchester, you’re

looking at traffic, but you're also looking at the birds,” she said. Clemens noticed some ospreys had begun building a nest atop a power pole along Manchester Avenue near the San Elijo Campus of MiraCosta College as well as the Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church. “That’s when we started watching the process,” Clemens said. “It was really smart — mom and dad did a good job, because it's so ideally suited by the lagoon where the fish supply is.” While other North American raptors can eat fish, ospreys are rare for their dependence on the

food source. The species developed reversible outer toes and barbed pads on the soles of their feet to help grip slippery fish, according to Cor-

nell University’s All About Birds ornithology lab. They are commonly seen around water sources and have been known to

•

build nests atop man-made structures, which has contributed to the success story of the species. Osprey populations dwindled in the 1950s and ‘60s due in part to chemical pesticides, but have rebounded to a global population of around 1.2 million, according to the Partners in Flight Database. Osprey are known to return to the same nest during their 15- to 20-year lifespans, adding twigs, sod and other building materials each year, according to the Cornell lab. Nests can reach depths of 1013 feet. Clemens describes herself as “a neighborhood observer” who likes to “pay attention to details” but is not a formally trained birder. However, she and her community of neighbors took an interest in the new osprey family that included a couple of new additions that hatched this summer. Then one day in late July, the nest was gone and a social media post observed one of the birds returned to the power pole despite the nest no longer being there. “That was their home,” Clemens said.

Since the nest had been located on one of its power poles, San Diego Gas & Electric also took an interest in the new Encinitas residents. Alex Welling, a spokesperson for SDGE, told The Coast News that nests so close to active electricity pose a serious risk to safety. “Those nests can be extremely flammable,” Welling said. “When it comes to safety, that’s our No. 1 priority. And I'm not just talking about fire safety, but environmental safety. “We're really careful when it comes to protecting our resources — our ecological resources.” SDGE applied for and received a special use utility permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove the nest. The Coast News verified the permit

with the service that exists within the U.S. Department of the Interior. A spokesperson for the Fish and Wildlife Service added that such permits were fairly common when it comes to power line infrastructure. The spokesperson also said that it had worked with SDGE over two years to develop the Avian Protection Plan. Welling said the program includes bird-safe designs for new infrastructure as well as retrofitting existing facilities to ensure the safety of raptors, migratory birds and other avian species. “These measures help reduce bird interactions with electric equipment, supporting wildlife protection, system reliability and wildfire risk reduction,” he said. Welling added that SDGE was the first utility company in the state to develop a habitat conservation plan, which includes more than 40 endangered or threatened species in its coverage area. He said the internal team of biologists and avian experts had monitored the nest for two months “waiting for the nest to be inactive” only after the “eggs were hatched and the [three] chicks were fully fledged.” The utility company also partnered with the Nature Collective to ensure the health of the young osprey. “They're a fantastic organization, they do such great work with that lagoon and educating the community,” Welling said. Biologists with Nature Collective observed one of the young ospreys sitting atop a nearby light post holding a fish, confirming it had found ways to hunt and feed itself. The group has also said it is exploring other longterm solutions. Clemens said that she understood the fire risk, but wished solutions other than removing the nest had been enacted. She said her dream would have been for SDGE to deactivate the pole and route power another way, while also documenting the effort in ways similar to the Big Bear Bald Eagle Livestreams program. “If it doesn’t have any electricity, the fire danger is nil,” Clemens said. “I would still love to see a pole close enough to rebuild and a camera. “With all of that silliness that we don’t have that much control over, there’s something like this that’s local that could’ve been a counterbalance.”

Guilty plea in killing of fire captain EL CAJON— Yolanda Marodi pleaded guilty Aug. 4 to second-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of her wife, Cal Fire Capt. Rebecca “Becky” Marodi, at their Ramona home last year before fleeing to Mexico. Yolanda Marodi, 53, was arrested last year on suspicion of murdering Marodi, her wife of two years, at the couple’s Rancho Villa Road home on the night of Feb. 17, 2025. Yolanda, who also used her former last name, Olejniczak, is believed to have fled to Mexico that same night and was arrested the following month. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Sept. 2 at the El Cajon Courthouse. In addition to second-degree murder, which is defined as intentional and malicious but not premeditated, Marodi’s charges include assault with a deadly weapon and committing a crime with a prior felony charge. She previously pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the 2000 stabbing death of her first spouse, James Olejniczak, in San Bernardino County and served prison time from February 2004 to November 2013. An arrest warrant stated that before Rebecca Marodi, 49, was killed, she had sought to leave her marriage with Yolanda. Surveillance camera footage from their home on the night of the fa-

tal attack showed Rebecca fleeing her home as her wife chased her, according to an arrest warrant. The video showed Rebecca covered in blood and yelling “Yolanda! Please …

I don’t want to die,” per the warrant. Yolanda, who appeared to be holding a knife with blood on her arms, responded, “You should have thought of that before,” the documents said.

Rebecca then asked her wife several times to call 911 before they re-entered the home. About 10 minutes later, the camera captured Yolanda loading items into a car and driving away. The following day, Yolanda also sent a text to a “known associate” stating “Becky came home and told me she was leaving me. She met someone else. All the messages were lies. We had a big fight, and I hurt her … I’m sorry,” according to the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office. Rebecca Marodi’s mother returned to the Ramona home that night and found her daughter inside with multiple stab wounds. She died at the scene. The following month, Yolanda was arrested at a hotel in Mexicali, just south of the U.S. Border, and turned over to U.S. authorities. She initially pleaded not guilty. Rebecca Marodi had worked as a state firefighter for more than 30 years, starting out as a volunteer firefighter in 1992. She earned the title of captain in 2022 and was remembered as a respected leader, mentor and beloved Cal Fire member, per a benevolent fund created by the Cal Fire San Diego County Firefighters Local 2881. She was also a devoted daughter who served as the primary caretaker for her 77-year-old mother, the agency said.

Encinitas post office stays open after crash By Cameron Adams

ENCINITAS — The post office on Garden View Road remains open despite a boarded-up window following a vehicle collision this month. Around 1:30 p.m. Aug. 1, the Encinitas Fire Department received a call reporting that a Volvo SUV had crashed into the post office between a support column and a wall near the entrance, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office. A spokesperson for the sheriff’s Office North Coastal Station in Encinitas told The Coast News

that the driver, an elderly woman, struck another vehicle before crashing into the side of the building. The driver told deputies she had no memory of the incident or how she may have lost control of the vehicle before the collision. The Sheriff’s Office said there were no major injuries. The U.S. Postal Service could not be reached for information related to assessed damage or needed repairs. The North Coast Current was the first to report the incident.

Summer menu delights at Lana lick the plate david boylan

ost North County foodies are aware by now of this award-winning seasonal dining destination in the heart of coastal Solana Beach. And now with an absolutely fabulous summer menu, you have even more reason to pay a visit to the splendid Lana. The new menu celebrates the peak of the summer season with ingredient-led dishes designed by acclaimed Executive Chef David McIntyre. Lana’s summer menu captures the essence of our coastal lifestyle while showcasing fresh ingredients and some surprises. Guests can expect a nice combination of an elegant eatery with a neighborhood restaurant vibe, a dining experience that transitions easy from an exciting day at the track to a refined evening of exceptional food and hospitality without being stuffy or pretentious. The stellar summer menu was created by McIntyre, whose career spans more than 30 years at leading luxury dining operations worldwide. He honed his craft under the mentorship of legendary chef Wolfgang Puck, helping open and lead premier restaurants across Los Angeles, New York, Washington, D.C., London, Dubai, Bahrain and Istanbul. His extensive background also includes nine years as the director of food & beverage and executive chef at London's 45 Park Lane, part of the prestigious Dorchester Collection. Having this unmatched global, pedigreed talent come to Solana Beach as the full-time chef at Lana is a bonus for area diners who appreciate world-class cuisine. I’ve always thought the best restaurants are the ones that can wear several hats without making a big deal about it. They work for an impromptu happy hour, a casual dinner at the bar or a foodie-centric celebration of elevated cuisine and even better with a renowned chef at the helm. Just a refresher, Lana, located in the former California Pizza Kitchen space in Solana Beach, opened in June 2025 at the Beachwalk shopping center on South Highway 101. It was created by longtime hospitality veterans and friends Travis LeGrand and Mark Wheadon. Plenty of restaurants are designed to generate buzz and become the reservation everyone has to score. Lana appears to be playing a longer game. The

restaurant courts regulars, and that requires comfortable surroundings, genuine hospitality, approachable, chef-driven food and prices that don’t make every visit feel like a special-occasion investment. The room strikes that upscale-casual balance quite nicely. There are warm wood accents, upholstered booths, vintage black-andwhite photographs of Solana Beach and just enough color to keep things visually interesting. The large central bar gives solo diners and happy-hour regulars a natural landing spot, while the patio takes advantage of the coastal setting. It feels polished without being stiff and stylish, without trying too hard — a combination that fits its coastal location. Given McIntyre's histo-

ry with Wolfgang Puck, the wood-fired oven left behind by California Pizza Kitchen is in very capable hands. It has become a workhorse in Lana’s kitchen, turning out pizzas while also roasting chicken, meat and fish. McIntyre’s menu is described as elevated California comfort food, which is one of those restaurant phrases that can mean just about anything. At Lana, though, it makes sense. The dishes are recognizable, but the ingredients and execution take them a step beyond what most of us are producing at home. Lana’s summer offerings emphasize sun-ripened, farm-fresh produce, pristine local seafood, and prime meats. Some highlights include Sweet Corn Soup, a smooth, comforting summer starter showcasing natural season-

Vista declares vacant building a public nuisance Council gives owner 45 days to remedy issues By Leo Place

VISTA — The Vista City Council unanimously voted to declare a large vacant building on Sycamore Avenue a public nuisance amid ongoing issues with trespassing, a collapsed roof and other unsafe conditions. The property at 650 Sycamore Ave. became vacant six years ago after the departure of its former tenant, Burlington Coat Factory. Since then, residents have complained repeatedly about the 85,000-square-foot building’s declining condition, and it has been the subject of ongoing code enforcement by the city. At the City Council’s Tuesday meeting, Assistant City Manager Imelda Huerta said the city has noted repeated code violations related to stormwater, trash and debris, graffiti, overgrown vegetation and a failure to secure the building from trespassers. The property has also had a partially collapsed roof since last summer, which trespassers have used to access the building. Council members agreed to give property owner Charles Company, a subsidiary of Excel Proper-

ty Management, 45 days to remedy a series of issues. If they are not addressed in a timely manner, the city is authorized to abate the nuisance themselves and then charge the property owner for the cost. Mayor John Franklin said it is unacceptable that the violations have taken so long to address. “We are fearful at this moment that we don't have your full attention to this,” Franklin said. “Your property is a ground zero of the greatest festering sore in our city on the south side of town.” The city code enforcement department obtained an inspection warrant for

the property in early July and entered the building along with members of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, the city’s housing and homelessness division, Vista Fire Rescue and other departments. During the inspection, officials observed numerous violations, including trash and debris along the creek bank and stormwater drain, compromised fire safety infrastructure, unsecured access points to the building and accumulated combustible waste materials. The property owner did address some issues leading up to the City Council hearing, such as boarding up entrances to the building, re-

moving graffiti and clearing trash, but the city said many more issues are unresolved. Ron Holly, a representative for Charles Company, said he shares the city’s frustration about the lack of progress and recognized why they were moving forward with the nuisance declaration. He said they are committed to redeveloping the property and moving forward to address the various issues. “I don't blame you for holding our feet to the fire, and I welcome that,” Holly said. “From a development perspective, we’re all in favor of tearing the building down. It’s just a matter of timing.”

In past years, Excel Property Management has proposed a 256-unit multifamily residential project to replace the commercial building. However, leaders say the city has been continually waiting for updated project plans. Holly said the company is waiting on items from its civil engineer and plans to submit a project proposal to the city within 30 days. The company is also working on obtaining a demolition permit for the current building, he said, in addition to authorization from San Diego Gas & Electric. Even if the building is eventually demolished, the city said it is crucial to se-

cure the broken roof in the meantime to prevent trespassing in the uninhabitable structure. City Councilmember Dan O’Donnell, whose district includes the former Burlington building, said there has been a lack of action on the part of the property owner. He said he would be willing to provide 60 days for the company to remedy the violations, but the council decided to set a 45-day timeframe and reassess their progress at that time. “It’s not a failure of communication, it's a failure of action,” O’Donnell said. Charles Company also has more than $7,000 in outstanding code enforcement fines to pay to the city. The council briefly discussed whether to waive these fines while the company addresses the violations but decided not to. A few residents also spoke in support of the nuisance declaration, stating that the city has been forced to spend numerous resources on enforcement. “The old Burlington building, obviously, as you've seen, has been falling apart for years,” resident Kathy Bagwell said. “We are wasting time and money on this whole situation.” Between July 2025 and July 2026, the Vista Sheriff’s Station has had 85 contacts involving the building, including 25 arrests for illegal activities.

Fallbrook joins opposition to power line project 145-mile route could go through rural N. County By Samantha Nelson

FALLBROOK — Fallbrook has joined a growing list of communities that oppose San Diego Gas & Electric’s proposed Golden Pacific Powerlink project, which would cut through a portion of rural North County. The project proposes to build a 145-mile 500-kilovolt electric transmission line from Imperial Valley to a substation near San Clemente in Orange County. The transmission line would cut directly through Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, which covers a large swath of eastern San Diego County. The preferred route would run past Warner Springs and north of Palomar Mountain before cutting back through Temecula and through the north side of Camp Pendleton. There are three proposed alternative routes, one of which is the South Mountain Alternative, which would curve south of Palomar Mountain around the La Jolla, Rincon and Pala Reservations and up through Fallbrook near Interstate 15. The project was originally identified through the California Independent

THE PROJECT connecting the Imperial Valley to southern Orange County has also drawn opposition from other communities and the Anza-Borrego Foundation. Stock photo

System Operator’s transmission planning process in 2023. SDG&E assumed responsibility to build, own and operate the new power line last year. According to the project, without new transmission pathways such as this project, electricity cannot be delivered to major population centers with the highest demand. Constraints on transmission lines could also congest the grid, raise costs and reduce reliability during extreme weather or emergency conditions. Several public and private organizations as well as elected officials have already opposed the project, including the Rainbow Planning Group, the Wildlands Con-

servancy, Temecula City Council and the Anza-Borrego Foundation. On July 20, the Fallbrook Community Planning Group unanimously voted to oppose the project as well. “We are united against this proposed project, which if permitted by the California Public Utilities Commission, could significantly endanger the health and safety (especially in our high fire risk communities), economic vitality, community character and the overall well-being of our communities,” reads the group’s official statement. Jeniene Domercq, a member of the planning group who chairs both of its public facilities and pow-

er link ad hoc committees, said SDG&E and the state have left more questions than answers for local leaders regarding the project. Not only does the project raise concerns about fire hazard — its massive 200-foot-tall towers that will hold the power line in the air also raise concerns about how the project could impact fire response from aircraft in the fire prone, largely rural region. The project’s potential impact on the environment is also a major concern. Beyond running though California’s largest state park, it would also cross paths with the Cleveland National Forest, come close to Palomar Mountain State Park, and affect tribal lands. “It’s a pristine area — it’s untouched,” Domercq said. “We’re concerned about sensitive species, we’re concerned about the impact to the local waterways — they don’t have answers as far as actual impacts, so we’re having to do a lot of research.” Others concerns are about the project’s possible noise pollution — both during construction and once the project is online — as well as its electromagnetic discharge. Domercq also said the power line may have a 1,000-foot-wide corridor. “That’s a couple blocks for us in Fallbrook,” she said. “Once these areas are destroyed during construction, we can’t get that back.”

The planning group also states the project won’t provide any power grid benefits to San Diego and Imperial County residents, yet their residents “will bear the brunt of the environmental and safety consequences of this project.” That’s contrary to the power line’s website, which states the project would support a stronger, more resilient grid statewide, improve the regional system and reduce congestion on the grid with additional transmission capacity, and help maintain electric service during high-demand periods or emergencies such as heat waves or wildfires. Additionally, according to SDG&E, the project would support electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, transit and electric-ready homes; create good-paying construction jobs; support long-term economic growth with a reliable grid; and supply an increasing energy demand. The project’s timeline estimates that if all state and federal permits are approved over the next three years, construction could begin as early as fall 2029, with service beginning in 2032. So far, there isn’t much support from the affected communities. “There’s not one single community that this touches that is in favor — 145 miles of opposition is what they have,” Domercq said.

Supervisor Jim Desmond, who represents most of North County, is also a staunch opponent of the project. “This is our backyard. That is our backcountry. That is our state park,” he wrote in an opinion piece published in the Escondido Times-Advocate in June. For Desmond, the “Sacramento decision” is problematic because the California Public Utilities Commission isn’t “required to listen” to the affected communities. “The communities that take the impact have no vote in the decision. That is not how this is supposed to work,” he wrote. Desmond also noted that San Diego County ratepayers would be responsible for roughly 9% of the project’s price tag. According to Desmond, the project is estimated to cost $2.3 billion; however. the project website states it’s currently estimated at $1.624 billion. SDG&E will hold in-person open houses in communities that would be directly affected by the power line. The first in-person open house for the project is Aug. 25 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Fallbrook Community Center, and a second on Aug. 26 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Temecula Embassy Suites. Two more open houses will be held in October in El Centro and Borrego Springs.

“Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.” — Author Unknown

In loving memory of Benjamin “Buddy” Adams

Benjamin “Buddy” Adams, 78, caught his final wave and paddled beyond the horizon, leaving behind a lifetime of memories, laughter, and saltwater adventures. Born in Brawley, California, Buddy spent his early years in the Imperial Valley before moving to Oceanside at the age of 15. It was there that he found his true home by the ocean, developing a deep connection to the water that would remain with him throughout his life.

Buddy was happiest when he was on the sea. An avid surfer and passionate outrigger canoe paddler, he embraced the beauty, challenge, and camaraderie of ocean life. Whether catching waves, paddling with friends, or simply enjoying a sunset along the shoreline, Buddy found joy and peace in the rhythms of the Pacific. Known for his easygoing spirit, friendly hellos from his porch chair, and love of the ocean, Buddy touched the lives of many people over the years. His friendship, stories, and appreciation for life’s simple pleasures will be fondly remembered by all who knew him. We will miss his “better all the time” greetings, his stories and his news updates. Though he leaves behind no immediate family, Buddy’s legacy lives on in the countless friends, fellow

paddlers, surfers, and members of the Oceanside whose lives he enriched through his kindness and companionship. Those who loved Buddy take comfort in imagining him where he’d want to be: in calm waters, with a perfect swell on the horizon, no crowds, and no need to paddle back in. In lieu of ﬂowers, please honor Buddy’s memory by making a donation to your favorite local charity and perhaps spend a little time outdoors enjoying the ocean, a sunset, or simply the company of good friends. A paddle out in Buddy’s honor will be scheduled at some point in the near future and is being organized by Dave Hanson at 760.822.4485. Fair winds and following seas, Buddy. May you rest peacefully beyond the horizon.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the

trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 877237-7878, or visit www. peakforeclosure.com using file number assigned to this case: CA-RCS-25021449 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. NOTICE TO PERSPECTIVE OWNEROCCUPANT: Any perspective owner-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee’s sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee’s sale or shall have it delivered to PEAK FORECLOSURE SERVICES, INC. by 5:00 PM on the next business day following the trustee’s sale at the address set forth above.

If the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale cannot be issued due to a qualified transferee’s failure or inability to provide the necessary reporting information, the qualified transferee will be responsible for all fees and costs to re-notice the trustee’s sale. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

program and has not seen evidence that the system has been misused. “So far, I have not seen any breach in how we use them,” Ehlers said. “Obviously, if there is a privacy violation or failure to follow the licensing that limits their use, that’s a different world. According to the sheriff, they’ve been very useful in solving several cases.” Regarding privacy concerns, Ehlers emphasized the distinction between tracking vehicles and people. “They aren’t filming people, and they aren’t storing facial images,” Ehlers said. “They are storing the license plates and car descriptions. (The cameras) track vehicles, and I think it’s a very good tool for increasing the efficiency of law enforcement.” The mayor said those capabilities can be particularly valuable when investigating more sophisticated criminals, including South American burglary theft rings that quickly travel between jurisdictions. A spike in residential burglaries across North County over the last few years has even prompted the Olivenhain neighborhoods of Wildflower Estates and Brookside Lane to install private ALPR systems. “I thought it was brilliant,” Ehlers said of the private systems. “They are protecting their own neighborhood.” While he supports the city’s program, Ehlers stopped short of calling for more cameras, saying law enforcement would need to demonstrate that additional ALPRs were necessary before the city spent more money. Since November 2022, Encinitas has steadily increased its investment. In 2024, the city spent $53,550 on 17 Flock Safety cameras. Public records show the annual cost of operating all 24 cameras is approximately $75,000 through the city’s contract with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office. According to the city, the license plate readers cost $3,150 each per year. “I think we have a mod-

est amount of cameras, and I think we’re seeing results,” Ehlers said. “It would take another presentation or study showing us there is a gap in our coverage to convince me that we need more.” Encinitas is not alone in embracing the technology. In recent years, neighboring North County cities have also approved or expanded automated license plate reader programs, though the size varies by jurisdiction. The Del Mar City Council also approved an ALPR program in 2022, agreeing to install five cameras at major intersections. The cameras use technology from Rekor Systems, a separate ALPR provider, and were approved with a 90day limit on holding data. Neighboring Carlsbad, roughly twice the size of Encinitas, operates a much larger ALPR network, with approximately 158 fixed cameras above major intersections and inside patrol vehicles. The city uses a separate system for those cameras and does not operate Flock Safety equipment. Instead, Carlsbad has subscribed to Flock since 2024, allowing officers to search data through the company’s online network. Similar to Encinitas, at least seven homeowners associations in Carlsbad also operate their own Flock camera systems. But the city’s use of license plate readers and data has not been without problems. Carlsbad police previously violated state law by sharing ALPR data through its Vigilant Solutions system with hundreds of outof-state law enforcement agencies, according to an inewsource investigation. The police department subsequently changed its policy in 2021 to restrict sharing to only California agencies in response to the article. Then, in late 2025, Carlsbad’s access to Flock’s network drew scrutiny after a resident alleged that three out-of-state law enforcement agencies had conducted immigration-related searches that appeared to include Carlsbad data. However, Flock later confirmed

that the city did not store its ALPR data in the company’s system and that no Carlsbad police data was accessed through those searches, according to the city. In a 2025 memo, Carlsbad reported 99.7% compliance with ALPR documentation requirements and no improper data sharing. California has one of the nation’s more comprehensive laws governing ALPR systems. The state’s 2015 Automated License Plate Reader Privacy Act requires operators to publicly disclose how they use the technology, how long they retain data, how information is shared and audited, and who oversees the system. Despite those safeguards, communities that once welcomed ALPRs are increasingly questioning whether existing rules provide sufficient protection against misuse. A primary concern for privacy advocates is that, unlike traditional red-light or traffic cameras, Flock’s system does more than simply photograph license plates. Using artificial intelligence, the cameras create what the company calls a “vehicle fingerprint,” cataloging a vehicle’s color,

make, model, visible accessories and other identifying features. The information is then stored in a database used by participating law enforcement agencies. Flock Safety, one of the nation’s leading providers of ALPR technology, was co-founded in Atlanta in 2017 by CEO Garrett Langley. The company has since expanded to include AI-assisted video cameras, mobile surveillance trailers, audio sensors designed to detect gunfire and drones that respond to emergencies. Flock says the cameras do not use facial recognition technology and are designed to identify vehicles, not people. The company also says agencies generally keep data for 30 days unless specified by state or local laws, and that the technology is intended to generate investigative leads. Over the past year, however, several cities and law enforcement agencies have canceled, suspended or declined to renew contracts with Flock amid concerns about privacy, data sharing and government surveillance. El Cerrito and South Pasadena have removed Flock cameras after their city councils voted not to renew agreements, while communities in Connecti-

area where we’re setting a precedent for commercial businesses not to create an ADA spot,” she said. City staff also raised the accessible-parking issue during its review. A traffic consultant hired by the applicant identified four existing ADA parking spaces within roughly 110 to 250 feet of the primary commercial entrance and found accessible pedestri-

an routes connecting those spaces to the project. Based on that analysis, staff said that eliminating the project’s dedicated commercial parking would not adversely affect public health and safety. Moeller said the existing restaurants do not have on-site parking and that the proposed mixed-use structure would occupy a smaller ground-level footprint.

cut, Michigan and New York have either ended or scaled back their programs following public outcry. The Los Angeles Police Department, which has access to nearly 2,000 ALPRs — 298 cameras mounted on poles throughout the city and more than 1,600 ALPRs in patrol cars — declined to expand the program after the Office of Inspector General raised concerns about data privacy, oversight and how officers use the technology. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass went further on Aug. 6, calling on the LAPD to end its relationship with Flock and find another ALPR provider. Flock Safety did not respond to requests for comment. Multiple lawsuits have also challenged ALPR networks despite their nationwide rise. In August, three San Jose residents, represented by the Institute for Justice, filed a federal class-action lawsuit alleging the city’s network of 474 license plate readers amounts to warrantless mass surveillance in violation of the Fourth Amendment. In October 2025, California Attorney General Rob Bonta sued the city of El Cajon, alleging the city’s police department repeatedly shared ALPR data with law enforcement agencies in more than two dozen states in violation of state law, according to a CalMatters report. For law enforcement, one of the technology’s primary advantages is that, unlike manpower, ALPR cameras don’t take breaks, call in sick or end their shifts. “They’re always watching,” sheriff’s officials told the City Council in 2024. Cameras positioned at major entry and exit points effectively serve as unflinching digital witnesses, documenting vehicles entering and leaving the city around the clock. Instead of relying solely on eyewitnesses, whose recollections of events and details can be incomplete or requesting security footage from nearby businesses, detectives can quickly search

for a suspect vehicle’s license plate or whittle down results by looking for a vehicle’s particular color, make and model. Supporters have voiced a familiar argument when discussing government surveillance: If you aren’t breaking the law, you have nothing to worry about. “I know some folks will object, but as my police officer father often told me, surveillance scares criminals, not honest people,” wrote Encinitas resident Heather Pilgram in a May 2024 letter to the council. But opponents argue privacy is not simply about concealing wrongdoing. In a 2007 essay, “‘I’ve Got Nothing to Hide’ and Other Misunderstandings of Privacy,” George Washington University law professor Daniel Solove argued that the “nothing to hide” rationale misunderstands privacy by assuming surveillance is harmful only when it exposes wrongdoing. Privacy also protects people from the misuse, collection and unintended use of personal information. Village Park neighborhood resident JT Moring, 69, said he supports using ALPR technology to catch criminals but believes the city should have a clear understanding of who can access the information and how it can be used. “By all means, let’s try to catch criminals driving around our city, but let’s not put innocent people at risk through that technology because we haven’t bothered to monitor how it’s being used,” Moring said. Moring said he also supports red-light cameras because they serve a narrowly defined purpose and can encourage drivers to be more cautious. For Moring, the difference between those cameras and ALPRs ultimately comes down to what happens to the information after it is collected. “Red-light cameras have a very specific and limited purpose,” Moring said. “As far as doing their job — run a red light, take a photo, log a ticket — that’s good. If (license plate readers) are logging everyone who drove through the city and sending it to Big Brother, that’s another question.”

Commissioner Alicia Lafferty said she viewed the affordable unit as “a real benefit to our community” and said the project presented planners with a “challenging situation.” Commissioner Dave Hubinger said that while he was “a little disappointed our hands are tied so much” by state laws, he also recognized that housing has not kept pace with employment

in the city. He added that he felt projects like this pay a compliment to the city. “I think we lose sight sometimes that it is a positive for the City of Carlsbad that developers are willing to invest in the community,” Hubinger said. “We have a community that is so vibrant and so positive that they see it and say, ‘This is a good return on our investment.’”

t is the time of year when there might just be too much of one of the vegetables in our garden, and the UC Master Food Preservers of San Diego County have just the answers to our food preservation questions. Three members of the group, Diane Foote, Megan Murfen and Ann Perreisa, visited the Cole Library in Carlsbad on Aug. 8 to present a full-scale demonstration, which covered all aspects of food preservation. For those gardeners and cooks familiar with food preservation, the methods of canning, freezing and dehydration might be in your wheelhouse, but I, for one, had never explored the method of fermentation. Many health food stores carry newer versions of sauerkraut, kombucha and kimchi, but not many of us have ever tried fermentation in our own kitchen. Foote explained the fermentation process of making sauerkraut this way: “Making sauerkraut is like making bread. You add a few ingredients, knead those ingredients, wait for a certain amount of time, and you get sauerkraut!”

Interview your family’s preservers

INGREDIENTS (Weight and measurement are important — check website for larger amounts) • One head green cabbage (weight 1¼ pounds) • One quart wide-mouth Mason jar with new lids (don’t reuse old lids) • Pickling salt (for 1¼ pound cabbage use 4½ teaspoon salt) • One jar weight (available at hardware stores) INSTRUCTIONS (Recipe will fill a quart Mason jar) 1. Remove outer leaves from the cabbage and rinse heads with cold water and drain. 2. Cut the heads into halves and remove cores. 3. Shred cabbage using sharp knife, mandoline or food processor. 4. Once shredded, place cabbage in a large bowl and sprinkle with pickling salt. 5. With clean hands, thoroughly mix the salt into the cabbage as if you were kneading bread. 6. When all the salt has been added and dissolved and the cabbage is juicy, begin packing cabbage firmly into jar. 7. Use your fist or wooden mallet to firmly and evenly press the cabbage into the

jar. As you pack, you will notice the juice coming from the cabbage. You will need enough juice to cover the packed cabbage. Be certain to leave at least 3-4 inches of head space between the cabbage and top of jar. 8. Once the jar is adequately filled and the juice is covering cabbage, put weight on the kraut. Weights are sold at hardware stores, or use a food-grade glass disk. 9. Place the fermenting lid and screw band on top of the jar and set in a warm location to ferment. 10. Store at 70-75 degrees while fermenting (see note).

Note: The UC Master Food Preservers website explains various fermentation time periods and further preservation methods, which the reader can check while making this sauerkraut recipe. It is noted that the smaller the container, the faster the kraut will ferment. Check daily, by smelling and/or tasting the batch. After perfecting your first batch, try adding grated carrot, beet, turnip, kale or hot pepper to the mix, or add Asian spices to imitate kimchi. For any questions about

I remember when I was a child in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I discovered a large, gray, 5-gallon crock in my German grandmother’s basement. I had no idea what was inside, except that when you lifted the lid, it smelled like sauerkraut! Many of these food preservation methods have been lost over the years, since many women, such as my mother, were not interested in the process. In the 1950s, with the invention of the TV dinner, many of our mothers tried to save time in the kitchen rather than spend days or weeks involved in food preservation. Take time to talk to family members who might remember these age-old methods. For those of us who are throw-backs and interested in these food processes, the UC Master Food Preservers program will help educate you!

sweet grilled peaches. I was also pleasantly surprised to see veal represented on the coast, where it is usually met with a frown. Lana’s Cast Iron Skillet Veal Meatballs with veal, pork, tomato, basil, garlic and parmesan are as good as I’ve had anywhere. They are as light and delicate as meatballs can be, perfect for a summer menu. Get those with the halibut and you will have a surf and turf to remember. Sweets at Lana are worthy of a devoted Lick the Plate column, but for now I’ll just say they are divine. I’m having recurring dreams of the best possible kind about the Key Lime Pie with graham cracker, lime curd and whipped cream. The happy hour at Lana is worth mentioning as well. It runs Tuesday through Friday from 4 to 5:30 p.m., with an extended all-night happy hour on Thursdays and a late-night version on Saturdays. Discounted pizzas, appetizers, cocktails, wine and draft beer make it an easy Highway 101 stop before a show at the Belly Up.

PERSEVERANCE TRAINING’S philosophy is simple: Train smart and efficiently so you can remain healthy, consistent and active for years to come. Stock photo

Helping adults over 40 move, feel & live better

erseverance Training specializes in helping adults over 40 become healthier and stronger, overcome nagging injuries and thrive in everyday life. In a professional, welcoming and intimate environment, clients receive safe, functional and cutting-edge training designed around their individual needs and goals. The philosophy is simple: train smart and efficiently so you can remain healthy, consistent and active for years to come. Rather than pushing clients through one-size-fitsall workouts, Perseverance Training focuses on improving strength, stability, balance, mobility and confidence. The goal is to help every client move, feel and perform better—whether that means traveling comfortably, returning to a favorite sport or simply keeping up with the grandchildren. Small-group workout classes are offered throughout the week. Each hour-long class is limited to six participants, giving clients the motivation and accountability of a group while preserving the personal attention of one-onone coaching. This supportive format has created a genuine community where members feel comfortable, encouraged and challenged. Founder Tanya Ledesma’s background began in college softball and collegiate strength and condi-

tioning. After six years of training professional and college athletes, she recognized that many adults—especially women and people over 40—had felt uncomfortable, overlooked or even injured in traditional bigbox gyms. She created Perseverance Training to offer them a safe and welcoming alternative. Today, Tanya works with a wide range of clients, including adults recovering from hip surgery or knee replacement, grandparents who want to play with their grandchildren, couples eager to resume traveling and hobbies, and women rebuilding their strength and confidence after having children. She also helps golfers and tennis players in their 60s return to the sports they love, clients managing autoimmune conditions, busy business owners, and people who have struggled to stay consistent elsewhere. For Tanya, each new client is a puzzle: identify the challenges, address them thoughtfully and build sustainable progress.

REGION — San Diego County's Registrar of Voters this week encouraged community members to sign up as poll workers for the Nov. 3 gubernatorial election. The need for poll workers is highest in Carlsbad, central San Diego, Oceanside and Vista, where additional workers are required to staff nearby vote centers, according to a statement from the Registrar. Poll workers receive a daily stipend for their service. Additionally, bilingual poll workers are in high demand, with federal law requiring the Registrar to provide bilingual speakers and voting materials for voters who speak Spanish, Filipino, Vietnamese or Chinese. California and San Diego County rules also require select vote centers to

the firm has hired an architect to explore “facade enhancements,” such as larger storefront windows, but has no plans to add square footage as part of a major renovation project. Robinson said it was important to him to “keep the character” of the vibrant downtown Encinitas community. He added that maintaining the character of Encinitas has been an important consideration in other projects at RPG-owned properties, including Raul’s Shack Mexican Food, Gelato 101, Pacific Station Condos and the Captain. “I really like stuff in Encinitas,” Robinson said. “It doesn’t trade often.” When one of the property’s tenants contacted him about the owner’s desire to sell, Robinson said he knew he had to act quickly. The property had

have bilingual speakers in Arabic, Hindi, Hmong, Indonesian, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Laotian, Persian, Somali and Thai. “Poll workers are needed throughout the voting period, not just on Election Day,” officials said. Vote centers operate for up to 11 days beginning Oct. 24, offering multiple options for shift coverage. Workers will receive a daily stipend of $145 from Oct. 24 to Nov. 2 and $240 on Election Day due to exremained in the same family’s ownership for more than 60 years. “The seller told me what he wanted to not go to market and we just accepted the price,” he said. “We’re not trying to haggle over a few more dollars.” Robinson said that “even though I’m a developer,” he opposes using the state’s density bonus law or similar provisions to develop properties that are taller or otherwise out of place in their surroundings. Robinson said his familiarity with North County, and Encinitas in particular, helps inform such decisions. He pointed to RPG bringing fitness studio SweatDreams to the downtown Encinitas Highway 101 corridor, where health and wellness are already prominent interests. He said understanding the local market and community interests allows him and RPG to use their properties to “add to the subsequent search of his home and photo studio in Carlton, Oregon, revealed more material, including “sexually explicit images and videos of the minor victims,” such as videos of Koester engaging in sex acts with victims who appeared to be unconscious, the plea agreement states. Vials of a liquid substance seized by police were later tested and found to contain substances used in “date rape” drugs.

To be eligible, poll workers must be a U.S. citizen registered to vote in California or a lawful permanent resident, have reliable transportation, complete two days of in-person training with a $95 daily stipend and be available to work four or 11 days, including extended hours on Election Day. The Registrar is seeking team members with `”strong customer service skills, leadership, flexibility, patience, and integrity.

He said RPG is already working to renew that lease. “Some people are not buying in the towns they live in,” Robinson said. “I like seeing what’s going on in Encinitas – some good development, some bad development – but I like being able to maintain some of our downtown character.”
