City awarded $33.6M for rail safety upgrades By Cameron Adams

ENCINITAS — The city of Encinitas is set to receive up to $33.6 million in federal funding for a series of railroad crossing improveRANCHO ments aimed at reducing conflicts SFNEWS between trains, pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles. The Federal Railroad Administration selected the Encinitas Citywide Railroad Crossing Safety Improvement project for funding through its Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Program. The project covers approximately six miles of the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo, or LOSSAN, Rail Corridor on infrastructure owned by the North County Transit District. Deputy Mayor Jim O’Hara told The Coast News the projects would have a variety of positive impacts on the city, including improvements to regional transportation, health and safety and commerce in the downtown area. “I think this is a great win for the people,” O’Hara said. The federal funding will support several projects along the rail corridor, including two new pedestrian and bicycle at-grade crossings at Grandview Street and Phoebe Street and a new pedestrian and bicycle undercrossing between Verdi and Liszt avenues. The project also calls for new vehicle and pedestrian gates at three existing crossings (E Street, D Street and Leucadia Boulevard),

There’s something special about discovering a local business that manages to combine its heritage with a whole lot of innovation. That’s certainly true of GelatoLove, the Carlsbad gelato company founded nearly 12 years ago by Rome native Paola Richard. What began as Paola’s vision to bring a more natural approach to frozen desserts has grown into an award-winning local business—and now, a company with its sights set on a national audience. GelatoLove recently earned Gold in the Frozen Treat category and Bronze in the Best Dessert category in Best of North County magazine. For Paola, gelato is more than a dessert—it’s part of her Italian heritage. But from the beginning, she has also been interested in challenging the traditional approach to frozen desserts. In 2018, GelatoLove became a pioneer in using allulose, a naturally occurring sweetener derived from fruit that contains very few calories. The innovation allowed the company to create lower-calorie frozen desserts without sacrificing taste. Just as importantly, Paola made it a priority to use natural ingredients throughout the recipes, including the stabilizers and emulsifiers that are often overlooked. Today, Paola and her husband, Luca Guerzoni, lead the artisan gelato team, bringing their native Italian roots and appreciation for traditional gelato to a business that has never been afraid to innovate. And while the inspiration may come from Italy, much of what goes into GelatoLove is distinctly local. The company sources milk and cream from Hollandia Dairy and uses Carlsbad strawberries and other organic fruits from nearby farms whenever possible. The result is a menu that ranges from traditional Italian favorites to inventive combinations. Italian Dream combines classic Fior di Latte with cashews, chocolate and espresso. Blueberry Lemon Meringue pairs locally sourced organic fruit with lemon and delicate cookies. Salty Pistachio, one of the company’s signature flavors, combines premium pistachios with just a touch of sea salt. And you can never forget the classic Stracciatella with delicate ribbons of melted chocolate. Now, GelatoLove is taking its Carlsbad-born success beyond the local community. The company recently partnered with Fabbri, the iconic Italian company known around the world for its Amarena wild cherries, which has been producing its signature cherries since 1905. Fabbri operates in 150 countries and selected GelatoLove to develop exclusive gelato flavors featuring no added sugar and natural ingredients, with plans for nationwide distribution in the United States. It’s quite a journey for a business that began with one woman’s vision nearly 12 years ago right here in Carlsbad. And perhaps that’s the sweetest part of the story: GelatoLove may have its roots in Italy, but its story—and its future—are firmly rooted in Carlsbad. 300 Carlsbad Village Drive, Ste. 104 www.gelato.love

Encinitas families still navigating ICE detentions By Christopher Bacon

ENCINITAS — As students return to classrooms this fall, some Encinitas families remain separated following recent federal immigration enforcement actions. Several Encinitas Union School District families have been affected by recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, leaving parents detained or deported. The Capri Elementary School community was “shaken” in late June after two parents of Capri students were detained by ICE in separate incidents, according to community member Bill Shen, who organized a GoFundMe campaign to support one of the families. One of the parents, Angel, was detained while driving to work. In the fundraiser, Shen wrote that “Angel, a devoted father in our school family, was detained by ICE. Overnight, his wife Mercelia was left to care for their two young children, including a baby at home, without the partner who had been the family’s only source of income.” A second fundraiser states that another Capri parent, Esmerelda, a single mother, was also detained while on her way to work. “The community is startled by the fact that you have two young kids who literally just don’t know if their parents are going to come back,” Shen said. Angel was released July 17 and reunited with his wife and daughter, who is preparing to enter second grade, though his immigration case remains active. Esmerelda, however, was later deported to El Salvador, according to the fundraiser. ICE spokesperson Sandra Grisolia declined to comment on recent ICE activity in North County. “At this time we will not be able to accommodate your request,” Grisolia wrote in an email to The Coast News. The incidents are the latest in a series of immigration enforcement actions in the Encinitas community

over the past year. Last August, federal immigration agents detained the parent of an Encinitas elementary school student near Park Dale Lane Elementary School while he was driving to work, prompting protests, emergency discussions by the Encinitas City Council and a districtwide letter of support from Encinitas Union School District Superintendent Andrée Grey. Two days later, ICE agents detained two additional men near the same intersection in front of community members who had gathered to protest the earlier arrest. Since then, city officials have adopted a “Know Your Rights” campaign, submitted Freedom of Information Act requests seeking information about ICE operations and explored additional measures to support affected families. ICE officials at the time disputed some accounts of the enforcement actions and provided additional details about the people arrested. Enforcement and Re-

moval Operations San Diego Field Office Director Patrick Divver identified one of the men detained as Yohan Diaz, who he said had a criminal history that included child cruelty, assault with a deadly weapon, battery on a peace officer, obstruction of a public officer, vandalism and driving under the influence. “When officers moved in to arrest Diaz, they were met with interference from members of the public who unsafely and unnecessarily forced themselves into a law enforcement scene. Diaz violently resisted arrest and continued to become so combative that officers were forced to fully restrain him, including securing his legs, to protect officer safety and the public. Diaz is in ICE custody pending removal proceedings,” Divver said. Divver identified another man arrested as Limber Hernandez-Verudgo, who he said was a Mexican national who had entered the United States illegally and was taken into ICE custody pending removal pro-

ceedings. Regarding the earlier detention near Park Dale Lane Elementary School, Divver said the man was alone in his vehicle when ICE officers stopped him and that a woman and child arrived separately during the detention. He said the man was a Guatemalan national who had been subject to a final order of removal since 2017. The San Diego Field Office also emphasized that the enforcement action did not take place at Park Dale Lane Elementary and was “entirely out of view” of the school. “The truth of the matter is that ICE San Diego has not conducted enforcement at schools, and suggestions to the contrary mislead the public and create unnecessary fear. ICE San Diego remains committed to enforcing federal immigration law while ensuring the safety of the community and our officers,” Divver said. Immigration concerns also drew widespread attention in November 2025, when more than 50 supporters gathered outside a federal courthouse in San Diego for Norberto Ambrosio Sr., the longtime owner of Just Peachy Market in Leucadia. A federal immigration judge postponed Ambrosio’s removal case until May 2026, giving him additional time to update his cancellation-of-removal application after a case that had been administratively closed in 2019 was reopened. Earlier this year, concerns resurfaced after federal immigration agents were seen in the parking lot of the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station. Sheriff’s officials said the agents were not operating with the department’s knowledge or assistance. More recently, another North County resident with ties to Capri Elementary was detained. Gio Altamirano, an Encinitas resident and employee at the Chart House in Cardiff, was detained while driving to work on the morning of July 12, according to a GoFundMe orga-

nized by Heidi Ledger. According to the fundraiser, Altamirano moved to Encinitas with his family at age 8 and attended Capri Elementary beginning in second grade. “Gio is indeed the father of a young son in the Encinitas school district,” Ledger said. “His family is devastated and working diligently to navigate a very flawed immigration system.” Ledger said community support has helped the family as they work through the legal process. ICE has reported that more than 16,000 San Diego County residents were subject to immigration enforcement actions between January and April 2026. As those enforcement actions continue, Shen said neighbors have rallied around affected families by raising money and providing support during an un-

certain time. “It provide(s) them with the stability, especially with the kids,” Shen said. “While they’re navigating … our legal system.” Ledger encouraged residents to continue speaking out. “I would encourage residents of our town to thoughtfully consider the difference between morality and legality — and remember that many of our neighbors are scared even to go outside,” Ledger said. “We are witnessing obscene violations of human rights and a complete breakdown of human decency.” Shen said supporting families transcends politics. “Regardless of your views on immigration and on national politics, I think it’s just tragic when families are literally being separated and being torn apart,” Shen said.

Housing at what cost?

By Felicia Gamez-Weinbaum

alifornia has a housing affordability crisis. But is increasing density actually making housing more affordable? I offer a native Southern Californian perspective shaped by an economics and business background, decades working in residential real estate, my own experience building an ADU and multigenerational conversion, and perhaps most personally, being the mother of a twenty-something navigating today’s housing market. My service as a volunteer commissioner on Encinitas’ Affordable Housing Task Force compelled me to gain a deeper understanding of state housing mandates and their real impact on our communities and local governments. I did not fully understand the extent to which state housing laws were reshaping local land-use decisions in our coastal cities. There is a lot of confusion surrounding this topic. Some residents on platforms like Nextdoor blame local governments for approving certain high-density developments, without realizing how extensive state housing laws can constrain local discretion. California needs more housing, but increasing density and housing supply does not necessarily produce housing that lower- and middle-income Californians can afford— particularly in high-cost coastal communities. California requires cities to plan and zone for their share of regional housing needs. Its housing framework includes the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), locally adopted Housing Elements, density bonus laws, SB 9, the Housing Accountability Act, SB 35, SB 423 and other laws that increasingly shape local land-use decisions. Failure to maintain a substantially compliant Housing Element can carry significant consequences, including exposure to the “builder’s remedy,” which

limits a city’s ability to deny certain qualifying housing projects based on local zoning and general-plan standards. Every eight years, cities receive a Regional Housing Needs Allocation, or RHNA, identifying how much housing they must plan for across different income levels. Cities then adopt Housing Elements demonstrating how their zoning, available sites and housing programs can accommodate that allocation. What does “affordable” housing mean? In San Diego County, affordable housing eligibility is often tied to Area Median Income, or AMI. At the recently completed 140-unit Solaris apartment development in Encinitas, 21 units are designated for qualified low-income households; the remaining 119 are market-rate units for lease. According to Solaris leasing staff, approximately 2,000 people submitted their names to an interest list for 21 affordable units. San Diego County’s official 2026 Low Income limit — commonly associated with the 80% AMI category, although adjusted for our high-cost housing market — is $97,950 for one person and $139,900 for a family of four. That means, perhaps surprisingly, a San Diego County family of four earning nearly $140,000 can fall within the official Low-Income limit for certain affordable-housing programs. There is also an economic reality that housing policy cannot legislate away: land in coastal communities like Encinitas is scarce and expensive. Increasing density can spread that land cost across more housing units, but it does not eliminate the cost of land, construction, financing, insurance and infrastructure. If the policy objective is affordability, we must acknowledge the underlying economics of producing housing in some of California’s most desirable com-

munities. If more housing is needed, must it always come through large-scale density? ADUs, JADUs and conversions of existing space can add housing incrementally within established communities. Encinitas reports ADUs toward its housing production progress even when those units are not deed-restricted as affordable housing. While state-approved assumptions can assign some ADUs to affordability categories, without a deed restriction those rents are not guaranteed to remain affordable over the long term. California law also recognizes that affordability can sometimes be created without constructing a new building. AB 787 provides another potential tool, allowing cities under specified circumstances to receive moderate-income RHNA credit for converting existing market-rate rental housing to deed-restricted moderate-income housing.² But the legislation is limited and does not eliminate the underlying economics. If an apartment owner accepts permanently restricted rents below market, who absorbs the difference between the property’s market economics and the restricted income stream? A policy can be legally available without necessarily being economically scalable. California faces a serious housing affordability problem. But the state increasingly uses housing production and density as tools to address it. Are we sufficiently distinguishing between adding housing units and actually creating affordability? If affordability is the goal, perhaps our measure of success should not simply be how many units we build, but how effectively our housing policies make those units attainable.

ear Editor, I recently visited Idaho for a summer vacation. While the water and the woods defined our active adventure trip, here are some other observations: Idaho is gorgeous! Northern Idaho in particular, with a ton of water, lakes, rivers and streams, and pine forests everywhere! Idaho is very clean. There is not visible trash all over the highways and roadways. Idaho roads and highways are in excellent condition. Cannabis is not “legal” in Idaho; there are no dispensaries. Drug (or cannabis) possession = arrest. There are few to no homeless, drug-addicted people in Idaho. *There are many over the border in neighboring Washington. Idaho is not a sanctuary state. If you are not legal while in the state, and have an encounter with the law, you are automatically deported. Idaho is tough on “law and order.” Commit a crime, go to jail - or get a good attorney. This form of “deterrence” seems to yield “good behavior,” keep the bad guys away in neighboring states that are known for being “soft” on crime, practice early releases of prisoners, etc. Idaho allows guns as protected by the US Constitution – the “right of the people to keep and bear arms.” There is little to no debate over “gun control” in Idaho (and a lot of bears!) There are separate girls and boy’s bathrooms; there are no gender neutral, shared bathrooms. Boys are not allowed to play on girl’s sports teams. Biological sex defines “gender.” There are no tampons in the “men and boy’s” bathrooms Idaho’s beautiful state parks, or in any state of Idaho buildings. Idaho schools are focused on the basics of reading, writing and math. There are no “ethnic studies,” no focus on skin color, no “equity” banners, no gender ideology teachings, no assignment of pronouns, and in Idaho, parents are in full control of their kids, not the state, school boards, or teachers.

The “Idaho Stop” prevails. This is ideal for us as bike riders. Everywhere, cars yield to cyclists on the road, in the bike lane. What a feel good feeling! Idaho is not focused on growing government. State and local leadership is focused on less government, less government intrusion, and less spending, fewer taxes. (The Governor routinely reviews and does away with outdated and unnecessary regulations and laws.) Idaho really does feel like the “home of the free

While Idaho is far from perfect, it was refreshing to be in a place where ‘normal’ is ‘normal’ again. and the brave.” Idaho is said to be one of the safest states in the nation: “Idaho continues to be one of the safest places to live, work, and raise a family, and the latest crime report is another testament to our commitment to public safety. Despite being one of the fastest-growing states in the nation, Idaho has seen decreases in nearly every major category of crime,” Governor Brad Little said. “This progress does not happen by accident. It is the result of the dedication, professionalism, and sacrifice of Idaho’s law enforcement officers, first responders, prosecutors, corrections workers, and community partners who work every day to protect our neighborhoods and keep Idahoans safe.” While Idaho is far from perfect, it was refreshing to be in a place where “normal” is “normal” again (compared to California). And where common-sense policies prevail; where local, county, and state government is focused on the primary duties of government, little more… Elena Thompson Leucadia

O’side upholds denial of cannabis store license By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — The City Council recently upheld staff’s decision to deny a local license for a cannabis storefront to one of the 17 companies that applied. The Artist Tree, also known as TAT Oceanside LLC, filed an appeal last month challenging staff’s decision, claiming the removal of the police chief’s scores from the ranking process was improper and detrimental to its application. The application window for cannabis storefronts opened last fall after the City Council allowed four local licenses. The city received 17 applications, all of which were deemed complete in the first phase. During the second phase, staff scored the applications, and the top nine advanced to the panel interview phase. Interviews were conducted in June, and the city clerk determined license recipients through a blind rankedchoice vote. According to staff, Police Chief Taurino Valdovinos — one of the five panelists — learned that Jessica Roy, the wife of one of his employees, Joe Roy, is an owner of The Artist Tree. Although the city attorney assured Valdovinos that there was no financial conflict of interest because he had no direct or indirect financial benefit from the business, city staff de-

cided to remove the chief’s rankings from the scoring process altogether to avoid a public perception of bias. In the end, March and Ash ranked first, securing its local license. There was a three-way tie for second place between Embarc, Green Venture Farms and Oceanside Retail OPCO, requiring staff to return at a future council meeting to determine which of the three will receive the remaining license. The city’s two current operators, MedLeaf and Left Coast, also received their local licenses. Anyone ranked below second place was denied

a license. STIIIZY ranked fifth, The Artist Tree sixth, Buzz seventh, 5 Star Greens eighth and Viva Verde ninth. The Artist Tree’s appeal claims that removing the chief’s rankings hurt its application. In response, staff asserted that even with the chief’s scores, the business still would not have had enough points to secure a license. “Even with a first place ranking from the chief and zero points from the chief for all other applicants, the appellant would not have received a local license,” said Dane Thompson, a senior planner with the city,

at the Aug. 5 council meeting. The appeal also claims that the chief knew about Roy’s involvement in the business before the panel interviews. Lauren Fontaine, who identified herself as one of the owners and chief compliance officer of The Artist Tree, said the business disclosed the relationship in its written application and that Joe Roy spoke with the chief months before the interviews about his wife. “It’s very frustrating that the chief has stated that he did not know ahead of time because he absolutely did,” Fontaine said.

When asked by the City Council, Valdovinos repeated that he did not know about Roy’s involvement in The Artist Tree. He said he only had previous conversations about the Roys supporting a cannabis company, but nothing specifically about The Artist Tree. “I had never heard of The Artist Tree… and frankly, I’m a little surprised that the OPOA Board would approve sponsoring them – to me, that’s the conflict of interest, that one of the board members would potentially financially gain from this selection,” Valdovinos said. Roy is vice president of the Oceanside Police Officers Association. Fontaine also accused the ranking system staff used to score the applications of being arbitrary, capricious and “inheritantly flawed,” but staff defended both the process and the decision to remove the chief’s rankings as fair. City Manager Jonathan Borrego said the city commonly uses the same forced ranked-choice system, including when hiring new employees. “It’s actually very effective in my opinion,” Borrego said. The City Council unanimously sided with staff in a 4-0 vote. Councilmember Peter Weiss was absent from the meeting.

Sheriff looks to reduce crimes tied to alcohol The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office has been awarded a grant from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to reduce alcohol-related harm, according to a statement released last weekend by authorities. The $100,000 grant was one of almost 50 awarded in the state to local law enforcement agencies through the ABC’s Alcohol Policing Partnership Program. “The funds will be used to help prevent alcoholic beverage sales to minors and obviously intoxicated patrons, illegal solicitations of alcohol, and other criminal activities such as the sale and possession of illegal drugs,’’ according to the SDSO statement. The grants support local law enforcement by combining the efforts of deputies, police officers and ABC agents, officials said. “ABC agents have expertise in alcoholic beverage laws and can help communities solve alcohol-related problems,’’ the statement continued. The APP program was created in 1995 to keep alcohol away from minors. — City News Service

Escondido OKs Costco lease at former Sears site

a little bit better. And we Encinitas think trees are one of the we can do that.” considers tree waysAnother goal of the project is to beautify the buffer at park space.

North County Mall project could bring 300 jobs

revenue received from the rest of the mall. Some have questioned why the city agreed to the lease before completing an environmental review. McKinney explained that Costco needs to have an interest in the lease before development applications and environmental review can begin. Council members were mostly excited about Costco finally coming to Escondido. “Costco is going to be the one thing that transforms the mall,” said Councilmember Judy Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald also defended the proposed rent price, which some have questioned for being lower than market price. “It’s because we don’t want to risk losing an opportunity like this to come to Escondido,” Fitzgerald said. Although Mayor Dane White was also happy to see Costco move forward and supported the lease, he disagreed with Fitzgerald about the rent. “I do feel like we could have gotten much more and that this deal is very one-sided,” White said, noting the deal was negotiated largely before the current City Council and from a “position of weakness” when the city didn’t have Measure I revenue. While the community has generally expressed excitement about the store, a lot of work remains before it can open, a process that will take at least three years to complete. “The lease is the first step, not the last,” McKinney said.

In an effort to address a variety of city priorities, Encinitas will explore adding a dense collection of trees between Encinitas Community Park and Interstate 5 to reduce freeway noise and pollution while creating a greener backdrop for park visitors. Councilmember Luke Shaffer and Deputy Mayor Jim O’Hara initiated the item. Mayor Bruce Ehlers called it a “good idea,” and Councilmember Joy Lyndes said she was “happy to support” the idea. The city estimates that more than 150,000 people visit the park each year to skate, walk dogs, play recreational sports, picnic and participate in other activities. “We think this will increase health and experience at the Encinitas Community Park – create a more usable space, a friendlier space, a healthier space and a long-term space that becomes even more enjoyable and makes the park itself more attractive,” O’Hara said. One of the city’s priorities the project aims to address is increasing Encinitas’ urban tree canopy. The city aims to plant 100 net new trees per year between 2021 and 2030. Between 2012 and 2025, Encinitas planted an average of 87 trees per year, according to city documents. By the end of 2025, the city’s urban forest included 22,575 trees, according to the documents. O’Hara said the additional tree canopy would improve the city’s climate resilience. Another goal of the project is to provide a barrier between the noise, fumes and other pollutants from vehicles traveling along I-5 and people using the park. Shaffer said a primary goal was to separate “the freeway gunk” from children and others playing at the park. O’Hara said many of the park’s annual visitors are youths who come to play sports. “They’re inhaling exhaust off the highway,” he said. “We want to clean that air before it gets to them

ESCONDIDO — Costco is one step closer to coming to Escondido after the City Council approved a ground lease with the company Aug. 12 for the former Sears site at North County Mall. Under the new ground lease — which will last 20 years with seven five-year extension options — Costco Wholesale Corporation will pay $100,000 annually in base rent beginning once the store opens. In the meantime, the city won’t charge rent for the first 36 months of construction. North County Mall is an 83-acre site at the southern end of Escondido near the East Via Rancho Parkway exit along Interstate 15. It consists of eight parcels, seven of which are owned by the city, including Parcel 1, where Costco is proposed. Transformco was the previous lessee for the Sears store and held onto the lease for years while the building sat vacant. In 2022, the city approved a new agreement for Costco to assume the lease from Transformco, but that action was never completed. In 2023, Costco backed out of its offer to take over the lease.

“There was a time when we thought Costco was gone,” said Councilmember Consuelo Martinez. “We’re just happy to have them back at the table.” The new lease is contingent on terminating the current ground lease with Transformco. Under the new lease, Costco is expected to make a “significant capital investment” to improve the site, including demolishing the existing vacant Sears store and constructing a new Costco building. The lease states that if the site’s use changes or the lease is terminated, Costco will be responsible for remediating any and all environmental impacts related to a

potential future Costco gas station at the site, including removal of its underground tanks and facilities. If the lease interests are transferred to someone else in the future, the city would receive 1.25% of the transfer value. City staff anticipates Costco will bring more than $2 million in annual sales tax revenue to the city, create more than 300 jobs and diversify the city’s sales tax base. Deputy City Manager Chris McKinney said Costco will bring nearly half the tax revenue the city currently receives from its Auto Park businesses, comparable to tax revenue from downtown, and more than the tax

O’Hara said that rather than seeing cars on the freeway, “a lovely row of trees would be much more enjoyable to see in that space.” Ehlers suggested city staff explore collaborating with Caltrans to plant trees on portions of the slope within the agency’s right of way. Lyndes, who has a background in landscape architecture, asked staff to explore a range of larger-than-usual tree species to fill gaps and provide the most coverage. She also asked staff to return with cost estimates so the council could incorporate that information into a final decision. O’Hara said he was unsure of the exact number of trees needed and welcomed a multiyear plan to ensure the best possible outcome for the project. — Cameron Adams

Man, 22, sentenced in trail batteries

An Oceanside man who struck multiple women in the buttocks while biking past them at the Calavera Preserve in Carlsbad was sentenced Aug. 17 to six months in county jail and must register as a sex offender. Felix Blanco, 22, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor counts of sexual battery for what Carlsbad police described as a series of assaults on women hiking on the trail. Police said Blanco would approach victims from behind on an e-bike and hit their buttocks as he rode past. Blanco was arrested Jan. 30 after police responded to one such incident and spotted Blanco, who matched a suspect description provided by the victim, police said. A criminal complaint outlines nine separate victims and incidents occurring from last September through Jan. 30. Blanco pleaded guilty to four of the sexual battery counts in that case. He also pleaded guilty to a sexual battery count in a separate case involving a female victim, though it is unclear if that case is connected to the Calavera Preserve incidents. — City News Service

Remains discovered in Pauma

Solana Beach rolls out free senior rides By Leo Place

By Samantha Nelson

PALOMAR MOUNTAIN — Human remains found along a road leading to Palomar Mountain are not believed to be connected to the disappearance of an Oceanside woman missing since July, authorities said. A volunteer search and rescue team found the remains in an embankment around 4:30 p.m. Aug. 12 near the 33000 block of South Grade Road in Pauma Valley, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office. The Oceanside Police Department confirmed Thursday that authorities do not currently believe the remains belong to Angelica Brophy, 44, whose disappearance last month has drawn widespread attention. “At this time, the remains are not believed to be Oceanside missing person Angelica Brophy,” the Sheriff’s Office said. The sheriff’s Homicide Unit has taken over the investigation into the remains. The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the identity, cause and manner of death. The sheriff’s office is in contact with Oceanside police, which has been communicating with Brophy’s family. Authorities said there is no known threat to the community. Brophy was last seen on the afternoon of July 6 at Harrah’s Resort in Valley Center and was reported missing that night. Her unoccupied vehicle was found July 9 in a parking lot at Palomar Mountain State Park, a few miles from where the remains were discovered. Early attempts to track Brophy’s cellphone were unsuccessful because the device was either turned off or had a dead battery. The Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Team led an extensive search for Brophy in the rugged area surrounding the state park. The effort included a California State Parks dive team searching a pond, along with personnel from the U.S. Border Patrol and Oceanside police. Canine teams from the San Diego Police Department, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service also assisted. Anyone with information about Brophy’s whereabouts can contact Oceanside police Detective Ryan Malone at 760435-4537 or the department’s anonymous tip line at 760-435-4730. For those with information about the remains can contact the Sheriff’s Homicide Unit at 858-2856330. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.

VISTA ADOPTED an ordinance restricting single-use plastic water bottles on city property, including a ban on plastic water bottles under 1 liter. Enforcement will be delayed for three years at youth sporting events and other large events. Photo by Sergey Ryzhov

Vista limits one-use plastic water bottles By Leo Place

VISTA — The City Council gave direction on a pair of environmentally conscious initiatives this week, adopting an ordinance limiting plastic water bottles at city events and directing staff to develop another ordinance preventing local retailers from selling polystyrene products. Under the plastic beverage bottle reduction ordinance adopted Tuesday night, single-use plastic water bottles under one liter cannot be sold or distributed on city property or at city events, including when outside groups rent city property for events. City funds also cannot be used to purchase plastic water bottles under one liter. The City Council adopted the ordinance on Tuesday night in a 4-1 vote, with Mayor John Franklin opposed. Council members asked for enforcement to be temporarily delayed for three years for youth sporting events or large events drawing more than 30,000 people. Vista Climate Action Plan Administrator Cassidy McCarthy said the city will focus heavily on education to make sure local groups are informed about the new regulations. “Staff want to emphasize that the intention of this ordinance is not to enforce administrative citations or penalties, but to provide education and outreach to hopefully incite behavior change and a cleaner, more beautiful Vista,” McCarthy said. Several residents spoke in favor of the ordinance. Resident and environmental advocate Joe Hood said he has been offered plastic water bottles at city workshops, and sees plastic bottles available for purchase in city vending machines. The city should instead focus on installing water bottle refill stations. “These experiences highlight how much work remains to be done. If we’re serious about reducing plastic waste, city facili-

ties should lead by example rather than distributing that bottled water,” Hood said. Other residents shared concerns about the sheer amount of plastic waste on the planet from single-use products, and the negative impacts on oceans, waterways, wildlife, and the human body. “As a longtime resident of Vista, I cannot speak loudly enough about the detrimental effects of single-use plastics, both on our bodies and on the environment of the only earth we will ever have,” said Diane Nygaard, founder of Preserve Calavera. Vista Chamber of Commerce CEO Rachel Beld shared some concerns about the logistics of implementing the ordinance for largescale events like the Vista Strawberry Festival, which draws around 80,000 people to Vista in May. Beld said the event draws hundreds of vendors, who would all be prevented from selling bottled water unless they each filed a waiver request with the city. Alternatives like canned water can cost three times as much as bottled water, she said. “This isn't a problem we can budget our way out of right away. At this scale, on closed streets in the heat, bottled water is really the only reliable way to get water into our attendees’ hands,” Beld said. Council members rec-

ognized Beld’s concerns and said they would favor delaying the ordinance for large events to give them a realistic timeframe to adapt. Mark Wall, who works with the Vista Farmers Market, said they already banned vendors from selling single-use plastic water bottles a couple of years ago. He said it can be a difficult adjustment at first, but that there are alternatives for beverage containers. “We’re not after perfection, we’re just after progress,” Wall said. “One of your concerns is vendors at events. They know it’s coming. Some in the markets have done it already.” Franklin said the ordinance was overreaching and questioned whether it would be truly effective in reducing plastic waste that winds up in the ocean. He also noted that alternatives to plastic water bottles, such as paper and aluminum cups, still have interior plastic coating. “I plainly object to this level of regulation of every aspect of our lives,” Franklin said. Councilmember Corinna Contreras said she was disappointed there was no council consensus on the item and questioned why Franklin would not approve it when he has advocated for making Vista a cleaner and more beautiful place. “It seems that those are just empty words when it comes to implementing an TURN TO PLASTIC ON 36

SOLANA BEACH — Jewish Family Service is offering free transportation for older adults in Solana Beach to help them complete errands, travel to appointments, and stay connected with their community. The Solana Beach service operates under nonprofit Jewish Family Service’s larger On The Go program, which provides free transportation to seniors in various cities throughout the county. The program aims to support independence and mobility for older adults. The Solana Beach City Council agreed earlier this year to pilot the senior transportation program for six months, running from May through the end of October. The city is also seeking additional funding to extend the program beyond that timeframe. On The Go Solana Beach is open to residents ages 65 and older and operates Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It offers various levels of service, including curbto-curb, door-to-door, or door-thru-door for those who need extra assistance. Drivers include vetted volunteers, JFS staff and rideshare drivers through Uber Health and Lyft Healthcare. Ali Pearlman of Rancho Santa Fe has volunteered with On The Go for six years and now drives seniors in Solana Beach. She said the program offers flexible times for volunteers, so she can easily fit rides into her schedule while running errands. “I love it, because it’s easy, you’re giving back to the community, and you meet the most amazing people,” Pearlman said. JFS is seeking more volunteer drivers who can assist seniors in Solana Beach. Interested volunteers can complete an interest form at jfssd.org/volunteer/ on-the-go-driver. They will be connected with a JFS volunteer engagement coordinator to complete the enrollment and onboarding process, including background and DMV screenings, privacy and driver safety training, and orientation on the ride-scheduling system. JFS provides secondary insurance coverage to volunteer drivers and reimburses their mileage for On The Go rides at the current IRS maximum rate.

Seniors interested in using the program can schedule a ride by calling 858-923-1344, or they can enroll by visiting jffsd.org. Rides must be scheduled at least five days in advance and must begin and end within Solana Beach.

Pickleball Republic to hold grand opening

Members of the U.S. National Pickleball Team will play exhibition matches as part of the grand opening of Pickleball Republic Carlsbad South. The new facility on Corte Del Nogal includes 10 indoor courts and two outdoor courts, available for play seven days a week. The facility underwent a soft launch about six months ago and plans to hold its grand opening Aug. 22, with more than 20 vendors, some of the sport’s top players and other on-site festivities. “We want to make it feel like you’re a part of something,” said co-founder Shawn Walker. “Kind of like a social club, you want to feel like this is your place. This is where you meet your people.” Walker founded The Pickleball Club of Carlsbad in 2020 with his wife, Rufina Walker. There, the couple befriended Andy and Tiffany Slipka. “They just love playing pickleball; it didn’t matter where it was,” Andy said of the Walkers. “We got infected too. Like, we just wanted to be there every day we could, once we finally kind of got over that hump. Pickleball Republic’s expansion comes as The Picklr, a Utah-based franchise, plans to open a 36,300-square-foot club with 10 indoor courts at 5830 El Camino Real later this month. Building on that idea is the connected Mahjong Republic. Both pickleball and mahjong boomed in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic as people looked for ways to stay connected. Pickleball Republic Carlsbad South is located at 2045 Corte Del Nogal in Carlsbad. Mahjong Republic is located inside the Pickleball Republic building. Guests can access Mahjong Republic through the building’s main lobby rather than the garage entrance. — Cameron Adams

Prep Football Preview: The Coast News breaks down the teams and players to watch this season

By Noah Perkins

orth County prep football returns this week, and with it comes everything that makes Friday nights matter: championship expectations, old rivalries, breakout stars and teams determined to prove last season meant nothing once the lights come on. Santa Fe Christian and Cathedral Catholic enter the season fresh off CIF San Diego Section Division championships, with the Dons making the Division 1-AA state title game, while Carlsbad looks to build on an Open Division second-place finish. Across North County, proven veterans, promising newcomers and teams with something to prove are ready to take the field. Here’s a look at the players, coaches and storylines to watch this season:

Santa Fe Christian

(Pacific League) Last Season: 13-1; CIF Division II San Diego Section champion. Coach: Jon Wallace Notable Players: Dax Labrum, Sr., QB; Chase Wooley, Sr., WR; Cruz

Campbell, Sr., WR/DB. Quotable: “The expectations are high coming off last year’s Division II championship, and the whole team understands how hard it is to win a championship, let alone win two. With that being said, we’re holding ourselves to the highest standard in hopes of winning a state title. Personally, my biggest areas of growth have been leadership, going from a junior to a senior, as well as working in the offseason to find ways to get more involved in the run game. We have a ton of ballers and are super deep at all our skill positions. The biggest difference this year is how senior-heavy we are. Last year, the production on offense was pretty split between juniors and seniors, but as we return a ton of guys this year, we also return tons of game experience.” — Dax Labrum, QB Coaches Corner: “Chase Woolley’s the best receiver in the county, and I know people would argue with that, but he played limited [time] last year. If you go watch the tape, he doesn’t lose a rep. I think he’s unbelievable.” — Jon

Wallace, head coach.

La Costa Canyon

(Avocado West) Last Season: 9-2 Coach: Sean Sovacool Notable Players: Luke Labrom, Fr., QB; Jackson Miller, Jr., QB; Diego Botron, Sr., TE; Blake Larson, Jr., WR; Nate Taylor, Fr., WR/DB/RB; Jacob Hopper, Jr., TE/LB; Grady Barton, Jr., OL. Coaches Corner: “We’ve had an awesome offseason and will have plenty of firepower in fresh faces. Our offensive line is going to be one of the biggest, most athletic groups we have ever had.” — Sean Sovacool, head coach.

Oceanside

(Avocado East) Last Season: 7-5 Coach: Fale Poumele Notable Players: Lincoln Mageo, Sr., OL; Lotu Seumalo, Sr., OL; SJ Poumele, Jr., WR/RB; Neke Letuli, Jr., RB/OLB; Anthony Barquinero, Jr., QB. Quotable: “Our identity is just being physical and playing for each other. We’ve got a lot of guys who are hungry and ready to TURN TO FOOTBALL ON 10

uke Labrom and Jackson Miller have battled this summer to replace Quinn Roth as La Costa Canyon’s starting quarterback. “They may both play as they are both deserving,” LCC coach Sean Sovacool told The Coast News. Whoever gets the call will be surrounded by a talented group of skill players, including Diego Botron, a 6-foot-5, 245-pound tight end and San Diego State commit whom Sovacool calls a “force at the line of scrimmage”; Blake Larson, “a track-fast wide receiver”; and Nate Taylor, a two-way playmaker who can “change a game whenever he touches the ball.” The biggest challenge, according to Roth, may be mastering the playbook. Roth, who threw 30 touchdowns as a senior in 2025 during a 9-2 season that earned him first-team AllCIF honors, called La Costa Canyon’s playbook “probably one of the hardest high school playbooks in the country.”

The calls themselves were long and layered, Roth said, sometimes running two sentences without much reliance on a wristband. Players had to process a deep and constantly expanding menu of concepts, with motion and other tags added to plays at the line. The system featured drop-back passing, play-action and a heavy screen game, among other schemes, giving the offense unusual depth. “We never capped it off,” Roth said. “It was just like, all right, what are we putting in now?” The 6-foot-5, 200-pound Labrom (class of 2029) already has an offer from San Diego State and brings what Sovacool describes as a rocket arm. Miller, a senior, has the experience edge: He started on the freshman team, moved up to start on JV and backed up Roth last season. The competition pits Labrom’s size and arm talent against Miller’s experience in the program and familiarity with the offense.

or generations, El Camino and Oceanside football players have grown up together, played together and eventually lined up opposite each other. Charles Dimry, an Oceanside graduate who played 12 seasons in the NFL, remembers the rivalry as a battle for city supremacy. “We wanted to be the big dog in the city, but we grew up with everybody, so we all knew each other,” Dimry said. “We

respected them, but the games got intense.” J.C. Pearson, an El Camino graduate and eight-year NFL veteran, remembers the same dynamic. “We knew the same people and went to the same parties — played pickup basketball against each other,” Pearson said. “Any time you know people on the other team, it becomes a little more intense.” Legendary coach Herb Meyer further connected the programs, leading Oceanside

before becoming El Camino’s first head coach. Meyer spent 28 seasons with the Wildcats, winning 226 games and eight CIF championships. Ken Stills, an El Camino standout (1981) who later played for the Packers and Vikings, remembered Meyer’s punishing practices. “It was the dog days of summer, but we loved it — we didn’t know any better,” Stills said. Two decades later, former Patriots defensive back Ant-

wain Spann (2001) remembered the same intensity: “We hated two-a-days. Even the guys that loved the sport hated them. They put us through hell.” Last season, Oceanside shut out El Camino 22-0, ending the Wildcats’ three-game winning streak and giving the Pirates their first victory in the series since 2018. “I’ve been playing with most of those guys since we were kids,” El Camino’s Anthony Sega said after last year’s

game. “We’ve come a long way together, even though we’re on opposite sides now. It makes this rivalry game even more personal.” Oceanside’s Lincoln Mageo, a senior and University of Michigan commit, felt the same weight: “My uncles and cousins have played in this rivalry game, so I’m excited to leave my mark.” The rivalry renews Oct. 30, when El Camino travels to Oceanside for a 7:15 p.m. kickoff.

or more than two decades, Chris Hauser was the only head coach Mission Hills football had ever known. That changed abruptly last season. Hauser, who led the Grizzlies from the program’s inaugural season in 2004, was placed on paid administrative leave in September amid a district investigation into an incident involving two players. The district later determined that, in addition to student misconduct, certain program staff had failed to follow established supervision and reporting protocols. Hauser resigned as coach in October, citing family and health priorities ahead of his planned retirement from the district. Former Mission Hills quarterback DJ Zapata took over as

El Camino

(Avocado East) Last Season: 1-10 Coach: Stefan McClure Notable Players: Omega Cruise, Sr., WR; Ryan Hamilton, Jr., SB/RB; Ian Wall, Jr., RB/MLB; Kai Storer, Jr., QB. Quotable: “We’ve got some good returning offensive players like Ryan Hamilton, who’s quick, shifty and a great catcher; Michael Pruitt, who’s fast, has good hands and gives us an outside threat; and Mael Willingham, a great route runner with good hands who can play inside or outside. We also have incoming transfers Ian Wall, a hard runner and strong addition to our running game at RB and LB, and new QB transfer Kai Storer, who has a strong arm, is explosive and an extremely athletic dual threat. If we stay healthy, we should be pretty explosive because we’ll have a very fast offense.” — Omega Cruise, Sr., WR

San Diego Section Open Division runner-up. Coach: Thadd MacNeal Notable Players: Travis Jeffrey, Sr., CB/WR; Trent Kellas, Sr., TE/DE; Darian Webb, Sr., RB; Antonio D’Alessandro, Jr., QB. Quotable: “On defense, look for Mario Anguiano and Dylan Sims to be big playmakers in the front seven. They play physically sound. I think this year’s team plays with a lot of passion and intensity, which will be exciting to see.” — Trent Kellas, Sr., TE/DE

San Marcos

(Avocado West) Last Season: 7-5 Coach: Tom Carroll Notable Players: Anthony Fortenberry, Jr., WR/ CB; Jordan Roa, Sr., QB; Kael Elizondo, Jr., WR/ OLB; Ezekiel McIntyre, Sr., ATH; Xzavier McIntyre, So., ATH; Mason Fisher, Sr., DE/TE. Quotable: “The thing that makes this year’s team different from last year’s team is the intensity. Some people may count us out, but I believe we could be one of the best, if not the best, team in San Diego. There’s no doubt about that.” — Ezekiel McIntyre, Sr., ATH

dy Berghaus, Sr., TE/DT; Sean Richard, Sr., WR/CB; Madsen Smith, Sr., TE/DE; Kade Castillo, Jr., DB/WR; Jacob Weston, Sr., G/C. Quotable: “My biggest growth areas coming into this season are my physical attributes, like speed and strength, but I’ve also improved my ability to read defenses.” — Van Piercy, Jr., QB Coaches Corner: “We have about 30 seniors who have been in the program. They know what I expect, they know the standards. The team has grown since last year, and we got rid of the guys who were there for all the wrong reasons. We have the football players out there now, guys who are playing for each other. We’ve also brought in some new coaches, so it should be a good year for my boys.” — Terrence McKinnie, Rancho Buena Vista head coach

interim head coach and guided the Grizzlies to a 9-2 finish and a berth in the CIF San Diego Section Open Division semifinals, where they lost 42-35 to eventual champion Cathedral Catholic. Mission Hills did it behind a high-powered passing attack led by quarterback Troy Huhn and wide receivers Brayden Roberson and Josh Gonzales, who transferred from Escondido for his senior season. Gonzales, now a freshman at Palomar College, remembers the season as both successful and unsettling. “I was obviously a little bummed,” he said. “It didn’t go the way I planned it to go. I mean, our head coach got fired. It was a crazy year at Mission Hills.” But he also left with an appreciation for the program’s demands. “The practices were so much harder than the games,

ple of years now, but most, if not all, of this team has been playing together since their freshman year. There’s a special bond between everyone and the coaches.” — Isaac Estrada, Jr., LB/RB Coaches Corner: “We’re a lot farther along this year. Last year, I got the job right before spring ball, so I was trying to get to know the kids, implement the systems and get everything going. We’re going to be a very young varsity team after graduating 17 seniors, but these guys have had a full offseason to train, learn the playbook and understand the system. The continuity is a big thing. I was the third head coach in three years, so having that continuity and knowing that I’m going to be here for the long term gives them trust in the system.” — Ryan McHale, head coach

Cathedral Catholic

(Western League) Last Season: 11-3; CIF San Diego Section Open Division champion; CIF Division 1-AA state championship runner-up. Coach: Sean Doyle Notable Players: Honor Fa’alave-Johnson, Sr., ATH; Isaac Cook, Sr., WR/ CB; Willie Flores, Sr., RB; Zedahn Smith, Jr., ATH. Quotable: “I’m going to work hard my senior year, but everyone expects me to be at a higher standard after the commitment. I want to start strong and show what

which I honestly appreciate looking back.” Now the program has turned to one of its own. Thomas Altieri, who joined Mission Hills in 2010 as a substitute teacher and offensive line coach and most recently served as defensive coordinator, was named the program’s next head coach in February. The 2005 Vista High graduate becomes only the second permanent head coach in Mission Hills history. Altieri was among the assistants placed on administrative leave during the district investigation but was cleared to return to his coaching role in October. The district said his deep knowledge of the program, more than 16 years of coaching experience and long-standing dedication to Mission Hills student-athletes distinguished him in a competitive search.

I’m going to do in college. I also want to take that leadership role, be a better player and teammate. Hopefully, we go all the way and win a championship.” — Honor Fa’alave-Johnson, Sr., ATH

Mission Hills

(Avocado West) Last Season: 9-2 Coach: Thomas Altieri Notable Players: Grant Kuykendall, Sr., DE/TE; Brayden Roberson, Jr., WR/ DB; Ryan MacKenzie, Jr., WR/DB; Jackson Fader, Sr., OL/DL; Furian Inferrera, Sr., QB. Quotable: “I’m feeling great coming into this season and ready to shine on the field with my boys. I would single out my skill guys as a whole. They’ve been proving themselves every day and showing why we are one of the best teams in the state.” — Brayden Roberson, Jr., WR/DB

Torrey Pines

(Avocado West) Last Season: 4-7 Coach: Scott Ashby Notable Players: Blake Miller, Sr., QB; Corde Keeler, Sr., G/DE; Barrett Eilerts, Jr., T/C; Logan Bonneau, Sr., WR/DB; Kingston Bankston, Sr., CB; Henry Kendall, Sr., MLB/ TE; Jacob Kreiss, Sr., RB; Bryson Waterhouse, Sr., G/T; Jackson Leddo, Sr., C/ DT. Quotable: “A lot of people are counting us out because of last year, but

I believe we’re one of the best teams in the county. I think our offensive line is going to be one of the biggest strengths of our team this year. We’re all returning starters, our chemistry is through the roof, and we’re one of the tightest position groups on the team. We all have the same desire to win, and we push each other every day. On the left side, Corde Keeler and I have built a lot of chemistry playing next to each other, and we have high expectations for ourselves this year. Corde is really the leader of our offensive line. We all respect him and learn a lot from him. Jackson Leddo, Kash Kenny and Bryson Waterhouse all bring a lot of experience and grit, too.” — Barrett Eilerts, Jr., T/C

Escondido

(Palomar League) Last Season: 2-9 Coach: Ian Kelly Notable Players: JJ Bejar, Sr., RB/CB; Cainen Whitaker, Sr., OT/DE; Ernie Nuno, Jr., WR. “Coach Kelly is going to pour his heart and soul into those young men and into the Escondido program,” said Robert Mendez, Escondido’s assistant head coach and linebackers coach. “He brings an exceptional blend of high-level playing and coaching experience, matched only by his intensity in the weight room and a genuine commitment to developing kids the right way.”

On the decisive drive, Cathedral converted another fourth down before Josh Faraimo hauled in a pass at the Carlsbad 2-yard line, setting up Fa’alave-Johnson’s winning plunge. “The fourth quarter was just about trusting each other and staying locked in,” senior center Xavier Faavi told The Coast News after the game.

The 20-16 victory gave head coach Sean Doyle his record fourth Open Division championship and 12th section title. A week later, they traveled to Saddleback College for the Division 1-AA state championship against Folsom, where a dense fog enveloped the field. Folsom raced to a 21-0 first-quarter lead and ultimately won 42-28.

Fa’alave-Johnson still delivered a spectacular performance, rushing for 267 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries. “It wasn’t so much a sad feeling after the game; it was more surreal knowing I won’t ever put on a Dons uniform or suit up with the same group of brothers again,” senior offensive lineman Anthony Bibaeff said.

ENCINITAS — The original jury trial date for a man accused of vehicular manslaughter in the death of a 12-year-old Encinitas girl was delayed during an Aug. 13 readiness hearing at Vista C our thouse as prosecutors and defense attorneys work to reach a setCHALEKIAN tlement. In November 2025, Eddie Sengendo, 45, was charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in the April 2025 collision that killed former Park Dale Lane Elementary School sixth grader Emery Chalekian. The two sides agreed to vacate the original jury trial date and return for another readiness hearing Sept. 14 while they continue negotiating a potential plea agreement. The decision followed more than 20 minutes of backroom deliberations facilitated by Judge Saba Sheibani. If the parties do not

Sengendo’s attorney, Jay Temple, told The Coast News that both sides are discussing potential jail time, Sengendo’s lack of a criminal record and the lack of evidence that Sengendo was impaired during the collision as part of ongoing settlement negotiations. On April 25, 2025, Chalekian was crossing Encinitas Boulevard with a friend after ballet class when she was struck and killed by a Nissan Xterra that ran a red light, according to prosecutors' incourt descriptions of the incident previously reported by The Coast News. A group of Chalekian’s family members and supporters who attended Thursday’s hearing wore yellow clothing, Chalekian’s favorite color, to honor the 12-year-old and show solidarity with her family.

as well as modifications near the downtown Encinitas train station. The midplatform rail crossing at the downtown station will also be closed as part of the overall project. According to the Federal Railroad Administration, the improvements stem from recommendations made after a critical diagnostic review conducted in partnership with the federal agency, driven by risk factors and the history of collisions at crossings throughout the city. The agency said the improvements are intended to enhance safety by reducing conflicts between trains and pedestrians. The city will provide a 20% nonfederal match toward the project, which will benefit Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner route. The federal award covers both project development and construction. O’Hara said pushing for the projects was a major reason he wanted to serve as the city’s representative on the North County Transit District board. “This was a priority to me when I ran for office,” he said. O’Hara said he was proud of the collaboration among local, regional, state and federal partners that helped bring the projects to this point. “I lobbied every person I could get the ear of,” he said. After “a lot of commu-

nication across the board,” O’Hara said city “staff worked their tails off” to ensure the ultimately successful grant applications were as strong as possible based on the feedback the city received. The City Council discussed the projects at its Oct. 22, 2025, meeting. According to a city document updated July 13, the city has completed 35% of the design work required for the two at-grade crossings at Grandview and Phoebe streets. The city has also completed the design for the Verdi Avenue undercrossing, which received Planning Commission approval in August 2025 and had been awaiting a funding source. Improvements at E Street, D Street, Leucadia Boulevard and the downtown train station are part of the city’s Quiet Zone project, which is expected to reach 90% design completion by the end of the summer. The Encinitas award is part of more than $150 million in federal funding announced for rail improvements along the Pacific Surfliner route in San Diego County. Sens. Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff, both D-Calif., announced that the Federal Railroad Administration would provide up to $124.4 million to the San

Diego Association of Governments in addition to the $33.6 million for Encinitas. The awards are part of approximately $5.32 billion allocated nationally through the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity

would go toward “fixing thousands of grade crossings – saving lives and improving communities across America” with the ultimate goal of “making passenger rail in America great again.” SANDAG's $124.4 million award will go toward the Eastbrook to Shell Double Track project, part of a larger effort to double-track the entire San Diego subdivision of the LOSSAN Corridor. The project includes construction of a new double-track segment, replacement of a bridge, realignment of pedestrian access to a bike path, extension of a pedestrian underpass and rail crossing safety upgrades in Oceanside, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and other cities along infrastructure owned by the North County Transit District. According to the Federal Railroad Administration, the improvements are expected to reduce travel delays, improve ontime performance, shorten transfer times and provide more reliable connections. The project also serves as the only freight rail link between Camp Pendleton, the Port of San Diego and the national rail network. SANDAG will provide a 20% nonfederal match, which may include funding from the California State Transportation Agency and TransNet. Like the Encinitas improvements, the project will benefit Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner route. “I’m proud to announce more than $150 million in federal funding for Amtrak — an investment in the reliable, affordable rail service Californians count on,” Padilla said. “Reliable rail service means good jobs, less gridlock, and better transportation options for Californians.” “I am proud to help deliver over $150 million in new safety and modernization upgrades across our Amtrak Pacific Surfliner route to improve pedestrian access,” Schiff said. “From extending pedestrian underpasses to increasing reliability, this essential investment will improve safety, efficiency, and reduce travel times for Californians — making travel seamless and keeping pedestrians safe.”

Is your business invisible?

By Rich Henrich

or years, businesses have focused on Google rankings, SEO and website traffic. Those things still matter, but the way customers discover companies online is changing quickly. Today, a potential customer may begin with ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or another AI-powered search tool and ask a question like, “What are the best gifts for someone who loves pickleball?” That shift changes what it means to be visible online. At Rook Digital, we’ve seen this firsthand through VolleyLlamaPickleball.com, an e-commerce brand we developed around the rapidly growing pickleball market. We didn’t simply build an online store. We structured the website so search engines and AI systems could clearly understand what the company sells, how products relate to one another, who the audience is and where the brand fits within the broader pickleball category. That structure matters because AI search works differently from traditional search. Instead of presenting 10 links and asking the customer to choose, AI platforms increasingly summarize information and recommend a smaller set of relevant options. Businesses are no longer competing only for rankings. They are competing to be understood and recommended by machines. That creates real economic value. When an AI platform identifies a business as relevant to a customer’s question, the company can enter the buying conversation at the exact moment of intent. The opposite is also true. A poorly structured website may leave a strong business effectively invisible to AI, even if the company has years of experience and a great reputation. At Rook Digital, we now look beyond how a website appears. We ask a more important question: How clearly does the internet understand your business? The businesses that make themselves understandable today will have a much better chance of becoming the businesses AI recommends tomorrow.

The sad house lacking curb appeal

e just spent two weeks in Massachusetts, attending a wedding and visiting friends we hadn’t seen in years. Along the way we visited a home we owned in the early 1990s, curious to see how it’s fared in our absence. The place was empty and in apparent disrepair. We thought it was abandoned. How anyone could leave our cute old house to squatters or critters puzzled us. Some quick research showed it’s been on the market for months. We know the inside,

Odd Files Toxic Teammate

A teenager in Maumelle, Arkansas, played with a rather toxic teammate during a recent high school football practice. According to an Aug. 12 report from WBALTV 11, after playing for about an hour, the student brought his helmet to his coach, explaining that it felt “unusual.” Upon examination, a venomous cottonmouth snake was found hiding behind the padding. They called animal control, who had to submerge the helmet in water to get the snake out. “I’ve removed a snake out of a car vent, in the engine, purses, backpacks — in a helmet? Never,” Chris Davis, director of Maumelle Animal Services, said, adding that a bite could have been fatal. [WBAL-TV 11, 8/12/26]

NBC DFW reported on Aug. 7 that after many capture attempts, the critter — which the locals named Mayonesa — holed up in a tree near an abandoned house while Animal Services officers waited patiently for her to emerge. Once they had safely captured her, they took her to Dallas Animal Services, where they sedated her and gave her fluids before removing the jar. “Aside from dehydration after several days without food and water, she was in remarkably good condition and full of energy,” Animal Services said in a social media post.

es and piles of trash were strewn around the property. Any real estate agent knows the importance of curb appeal. If you’re selling your home, you want the prospective buyer salivating as they approach the house. Trees and lawn should be neat, paint fresh-looking and windows washed. Because it’s not just the inside that should scream, “You belong here!” The outside must also be inviting and desirable. Our old house had none of that going for it. My guess is the owner is selling it themselves, hoping to save the agent’s $35,000 sales

commission. It’s not working. Admittedly, our economy’s wonky right now, with lots of folks doing things for themselves while trying to cut corners. Only lots of the stuff they’re doing are outside their areas of expertise. Thus, you end up with engineers selling their own homes, restaurateurs doing their own marketing and marketers doing their own taxes. But straying so far from your own lane guarantees two things: You won’t get professional results, and you’ll be distracted from do-

ing what you do best. In fact, you may end up actually losing money on the deal by doing it yourself. Which is why, regardless of what you sell, I’d advise that you stick to what you do and hire the pros to handle your other needs. Let a CPA do your taxes and marketing professionals guide your communications. Because if you hire a knowledgeable real estate agent when you’re ready to sell your house, you’re guaranteed to be much happier! With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

Crime Report

— A Shake Shack employee is charged with aggravated assault, kidnapping and armed robbery after robbing the store where he worked, Yahoo! News reported on Aug. 12. According to the Maricopa County Deputy Attorney’s complaint, Keondre Simmons, 33, of Arizona, pointed a gun at two employees, demanded $2,800 in cash from the store safe and locked them in the store’s cooler. The employees’ description of the robber matched Simmons, and he was arrested days later when investigators who were surveilling Simmons watched him leave his apartment wearing his Shake Shack uniform and return to the store for his shift. A representative from Shake Shack confirmed that Simmons’ employment has been terminated and that the company prioritizes the safety of their customers and employees. Simmons is currently in custody on a $100,000 bond. [Yahoo!

According to the police report, Gay admitted to parking next to Krichbaum and approaching his vehicle for a confrontation over “prior issues.” During the dispute, Krichbaum brandished a hatchet “in an attempt to deter” Gay. In response, Gay went back to his vehicle, pulled out a machete and struck Krichbaum in the face with it.

When police arrived, they closed local streets for nearly two hours while they investigated. Eventually the item was determined to be an “electronic sex portable pump device,” according to the police report. Police cleared the scene and traffic resumed around 9 a.m. [WUSA9, 08/12/26]

Manta ray hits local big screen By Cameron Adams

ENCINITAS — Documentarian Cody Sheehy knew where he had to take his latest film after a successful run on the festival circuit. “We’re really excited about San Diego, because we think that this film is a perfect match for the veterans, seniors, and healing community that exists in San Diego,” Sheehy told The Coast News. “Also, it’s a beautiful city. It’s one of our favorite cities.” “The Last Dive” played at the Balboa Theatre on Aug. 19 before moving to the La Paloma Theatre in Encinitas, where shows have been added this week and next, including an 8 p.m. showing tonight. The film centers on the relationship between Terry Kennedy and a manta ray named Willy in the Gulf of California. Sheehy spends nearly half the year on a sailboat with his family exploring remote islands in the area, which is where he first met Kennedy. “He’s one of those guys that you meet down in Mexico,” the director said. “He had a little bit of a tough edge to him, but he’s just a kind, warm-hearted person who loves to get people in the water and diving. His passion for the ocean is incredible, and that’s kind of how I knew him at first – somebody who just loves the ocean.” Before finding himself in Mexico, Kennedy, now in his 80s, was a veteran of the Vietnam War who later became involved with the Hells Angels and also spent time behind bars. “This is a story of redemption,” Sheehy said. “Terry is an incredibly charismatic character with a troubled past and we’ve followed his journey of transformation into the Terry that exists today.” The giant manta ray lives up to its name, reaching wingspans of up to 26 feet, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The species can live up to 45 years and weigh more than 5,000 pounds. Giant manta rays are a migratory species known for their intelligence, as evidenced by their ability to recognize themselves in a reflection when subjected to the mirror test. “There are very few an-

imals that are of that level of intelligence and perhaps it is connected to consciousness in some way,” Sheehy said. NOAA also lists the giant manta ray as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Threats include entanglement in fishing gear and demand for their gill plates, which are used for medicinal purposes in some parts of the world. Kennedy became involved in conservation efforts after meeting Willy during a dive at Isla San Benedicto in the remote Revillagigedo Islands. The manta approached Kennedy in a peculiar way, as if inviting him to interact and play. “They developed this 19-year friendship where every day Willy would come to his sailboat, slap a wing on the hull of his boat, Terry would put on his gear, jump in the water, and then get on the back of this manta ray, and then go off and ride around in the water and have these incredible adventures,” Sheehy said. “Terry documented all of it with video.” The director said his team had hundreds of hours of video to sift through to tell the story of the cross-species friendship while also “building a world that will transport people back to the 70s and 80s down on these boats down in Mexico and what that was like is a whole different culture of fun.” “The guiding light for us was to just find all the footage where Terry and Willy are interacting and try to look for the moments that reveal their friendship and their connection together as much as possible,” Sheehy said. He added that the filmmakers also wanted the dive sequences to feel as close to the experience of actually diving as possible, something his extensive diving experience helped inform. The film won the Best Cinematography award at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival, as well as Best Documentary awards at the Montreal International and Boise film festivals. “It’s my dream that enough people get together around this – join our community and movement – so that, maybe when my son is older, there’s a chance that he’ll be able to dive with

OCEANSIDE — The world’s largest female surfing event is returning to the Oceanside Pier this weekend while simultaneously celebrating 20 years of the festival surrounding the competition.

MLB owners OK San Diego Padres sale

Major League Baseball and its owners on Monday unanimously approved the $3.9 billion sale of the San Diego Padres to a new group led by private equity billionaire José E. Feliciano and his wife Kwanza Jones. Feliciano was designated the Padres’ Control Person in alignment with MLB governance requirements. The Padres will continue to be led day-to-day by CEO Erik Greupner and President of Baseball Operations and General Manager A.J. Preller, according to MLB. The Seidler family has owned the Padres since 2012. In November 2025, it announced the family was beginning a formal process to explore strategic options, including the possible sale of the franchise.

The closing of the transaction and ownership transition is scheduled to occur in the coming days, MLB said.

Peter Seidler, the team’s CEO, died in 2023, prompting a murky and at times contentious battle over ownership of the team, with infighting and lawsuits between Seidler’s widow, Sheel, and his siblings. “Our family loves this

Iconic Inglenook brings Rutherford to West End taste of wine & food

frank mangio & rico cassoni

ne of Napa Valley’s most historic wineries recently came to Del Mar as West End Bar & Kitchen hosted an Inglenook wine dinner with senior associate winemaker Jonathan Tyer. Traci Maloney, account specialist with Aspect Fine Wine, assisted Tyer with coordinating the evening, while West End Executive Chef Carlos Ramirez created a four-course menu designed to showcase wines from the legendary Rutherford estate. Inglenook’s history dates to 1879, when Finnish sea captain Gustave Niebaum began assembling what would become an 1,100-acre estate on Napa Valley’s Rutherford Bench. Nearly a century later, in 1975, Francis and Eleanor Coppola purchased a portion of the former Inglenook property and began a decades-long effort to rebuild the historic estate and restore its reputation. The Coppolas reunited the property in 1995 and

reacquired the Inglenook name in 2011. Tyer shared that Francis Ford Coppola remains actively involved in managing the winery today. That commitment to the estate extends underground. Inglenook completed its 23,000-square-foot Italia Coppola Wine Caves in 2022, incorporating 120 fermentation tanks corresponding to individual vineyard blocks. Tyer said that the estate sits on an alluvial fan

encompassing 14 soil types, with individual lots typically ranging from just 3 to 15 tons. Keeping those parcels separate allows the winemaking team to better preserve their individual characteristics before blending. Inglenook also takes an unusually long view toward vineyard management. The estate is approximately 15 years into a 50-year crop rotation program. Each year about 2% of the vineyard is left fallow for three years

before being replanted, with quality fruit returning the fourth leaf. The approach creates a continuing range of vine ages supporting standardized aging throughout the estate. The dinner began with Inglenook Blanc paired with a Bluefin Tuna Wonton before moving to one of the evening’s most creative dishes. The 2021 Blancaneaux, first produced by Inglenook in 1999, blends 40% viognier with 30% marsanne and

30% roussanne. Less floral and more Old World in style, its acidity balanced the creaminess of béarnaise accompanying seared Hokkaido scallops, while lemon in the dish complemented the wine beautifully. The 2019 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon accompanied Prime New York steak with wild mushroom risotto and black truffle cream for the third course. Next, herb-crusted rack of lamb with mint pea purée, roasted fingerling potatoes, and herb chimichurri was paired with Inglenook’s flagship 2019 Rubicon. First produced in 1978, Rubicon was Coppola’s vision for a Bordeaux-style grand wine and takes its name from Julius Caesar’s consequential crossing of the Rubicon River. The 2019 vintage blends 81% cabernet sauvignon, 11% merlot, 5% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot. Its depth and structure stood beautifully alongside the richness of the lamb, creating the star pairing of the evening. More than four decades ago, Francis Ford Coppola set out to restore Inglenook to its former glory. The evening at West End demonstrated how successfully that vision has been realized.

Inglenook is not simply preserving its remarkable past. It is still writing its story, one vineyard block and one outstanding bottle at a time. Find more information at inglenook.com.

Oceanside’s Koakai Brewing is up and running I Like

Beer jeff spanier

he Japanese word “betsubara” roughly translates to “second stomach.” It’s typically applied to the sensation of having a little more room for dessert after a hearty meal. I’m not sure if it’s appropriately transferable to having room for another beer, but while enjoying lunch at Oceanside’s new Koakai Brewing, I definitely found time and room for more excellent beer. The quality is no surprise thanks to the care and experience brought to Koakai Brewing by the husband and wife team of Mike and Tomomi “AJ” Aubuchon. Both are Pizza Port alums, and I last interviewed them at the short-lived Heritage BBQ. The Aubuchons are now doing their own, new thing at Koakai, but with the same focus on craft, quality and service. Connected to the Kyoto Japanese Market, Koakai Brewing has allowed them to bring their food and beer to a neighborhood that has been important to them for many years. From my visits to Heritage, I knew that Mike brews a perfect Helles lager. He has spent a lot of time in Germany working with brewers to understand the nuances of the style. His What R U Sinking About? brewed in collaboration with Sebastian Sauer is spectacular. ILB: How has your first few weeks of being open gone? AJ: A lot of our patrons from Pizza Port and Heritage have followed us here. And we have a lot of new people coming in from the residential areas all around us, as well as Fire Mountain. There isn’t really a hangout in this neighborhood with kids, dogs and family friend-

ly. They’ve been excited and checking in to see when we open. ILB: Some big changes on the menu. AJ: Yes, our food menu is inspired by Japanese cuisine. But we’ve also kept the Texas-style BBQ. It’s a fusion of all that. It makes us unique and interesting. ILB: If someone is coming in for the first time, what’s something they just have to try on your beer lineup? AJ: Definitely our Japanese lagers. We are very proud of our Takumi rice lager. It’s 4.4% with very subtle bitterness and sweetness.

We use Japanese rice which mellows out the mouthfeel and flavor. Perfect for summer weather. We also have Uminchu inspired from Orion Beer in Okinawa, which is one of our favorites. ILB: And on the menu? AJ: Our smoked pork belly musubi. The musubi brings in Hawaiian culture as well. If you just want to drink beer and have something smaller portioned to eat, you must have it.

ways order it. It’s the best of both worlds: chocolatey and roasty but also lighter. ILB: Tell me about Woody’s First Rodeo Hazy IPA. AJ: Woody is Russell Johnson. He’s a helicopter pilot in the military and is about to retire. Woody is his call sign. And this is the first beer he brewed with Mike. He’s an investor and he has been helping with the brewing. ILB: [question provided by local Melissa Martin who was joining for lunch and beers] What’s your connection to the Kyoto Market. It’s been a gem in our neighborhood for years and we’re so glad you’re a part of it — thank you! AJ: I am so glad we were able to take over the market as well. I am originally from Kyoto, Japan. I moved here in 2003 to go to school. This is the store where I shopped. I became friends with the family and when they were ready to retire, they offered it to us. It worked out perfectly because we were ready to do our own thing. It felt meant to be. Martin: This is our second time coming in and we’ve had a great time. With so much of Oceanside changing, it’s wonderful to have this market here as a neighborhood spot.

AJ: That makes me so happy. We want this place to be the neighborhood place where people come in and run into your friends, bring their families. That’s the vibe we want. After lunch, Mike gave me the mini-tour of his customized 10-barrel brewhouse, including the recently acquired space next door that will allow Koakai to expand their seating capacity. His pride in the brewery and beers he’s producing was evident in his ebullience. And Woody was there doing exactly what an assistant brewer gets to do: clean!

just off of Oceanside Boulevard and I-5 at 559 Greenbrier Drive.

RAMONA — The first three graduates of the San Diego Humane Society’s raccoon nursery at its Ramona Wildlife Center have returned to the wild, the organization announced on Aug. 6. The three orphaned juvenile raccoons were brought to the San Diego Humane Society separately between May 18 and June 9 after being found by community members in Ocean Beach, Chula Vista and Santee. According to the animal welfare organization, raccoon kits are typically weaned from their mother’s milk at about 10 to 12 weeks old and, in the wild, would be learning essential survival skills alongside their mother. For orphaned kits, rehabilitation requires specialized care that supports healthy development while preventing dependence on humans. “This release is especially meaningful because these

raccoons are the first graduates of our new centralized raccoon nursery at the Ramona Wildlife Center,” said Autumn Welch, wildlife operations manager at the San Diego Humane Society. “By caring for raccoons in a dedicated setting, we can give them the best possible opportunity to return to their natural environment.” At the Ramona Wildlife Center, the raccoons received vaccines and dewormer and were fed a diet of rodents, birds, fish, eggs, insects, fruit, nuts, seeds and vegetables. As they grew stronger, the animals were moved to outdoor enclosures designed to “help them build the skills they need to survive independently,” according to the San Diego Humane Society. Those skills included climbing, exploring, foraging and locating natural foods and insects. All three raccoons were released together July 31 at Mission Trails Regional Park.

New Village Arts founder exits stage after 25 years By Summer Hu

CARLSBAD — Kristianne Kurner’s first production wasn’t in a theater — it was in her backyard. Kurner, New Village Arts’ executive artistic director and founder, began her directing career as a youth, putting together shows with her best friends and inviting neighbors to be the audience. One original show — a musical medley — told the tale of three women who traveled to Hollywood, Kurner recalled. “Taking people, finding what they’re best at — putting it together with the goal of telling a story that’s outside of your own lived experience — is really what always drives me,” Kurner NEW VILLAGE Arts founder and Executive Artistic Director Kristianne Kurner stands in front said. of the Dea Hurston New Village Arts Center marquee in Carlsbad Village.

ite memories at NVA. However, Kurner’s success with NVA did not come without adversity. One of the challenges of founding NVA was learning how to approach problems — especially those associated with the business side of running the company — with a “creative mindset.” When NVA Artistic Producer Kali Boston joined the company in 2023, she said Kurner immediately made her feel welcome. “You could feel her warmth and you could feel how much she cared about the arts and creating the best show possible,” Boston said. Boston said one of the things she admires about Kurner is her problem-solving abilities, as well as her commitment to making the theater an inclusive and diverse space. Boston, who is a member of the BIPOC community, said Kurner has been “unwaveringly” supportive of the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities — a trait Boston feels isn’t often found in people in high positions of power. NVA Manager of Marketing and Communications Olivia Pence said she is inspired “24/7” by Kurner’s leadership style, especially as a woman leader in theater, a space Pence said can feel dominated by men. Pence, who first joined NVA as a performer in 2019, said Carlsbad Village has grown tremendously over

the past 25 years because of its budding food, culture and entertainment scene. Pence said she feels Kurner has helped build that community in Carlsbad Village by introducing award-winning theater into the local fabric. “You build that community of theater goers and patrons that all are coming together to create and inspire and witness something special here in the middle of your community,” Pence said. Kurner said she is passionate about building community through producing theater, art and stories — a principle that guided her vision for NVA. The collaborative effort that goes into productions can ultimately be exhilarating, allowing the community to experience a story together, she said. Kurner’s last show as a director with NVA will be William Shakespeare’s classic “As You Like It,” while her last show as a producer will be “In the Heights.” Kurner said it felt fitting to end her time at NVA with the two productions, given “As You Like It” grapples with themes associated with community and “In the Heights” is set in New York City — Kurner’s future home. “You get this experience of watching your community be better because of the hard work you put in — and what a gift is that,” Kurner said.

Artist expands youth opportunities in Del Mar By Leo Place

DEL MAR — After several years of teaching community art classes out of their Carmel Valley garden studio, the Wyman family is partnering with the Surf and Turf Tennis Center to offer more art opportunities to local youth. Surf and Turf Art Club, run by Summer and Jason Wyman, began operating this summer out of the tennis center property at 15555 Jimmy Durante Blvd across from the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The club offers drop-in sessions throughout the week for all age groups to explore artistic disciplines including painting, drawing, charcoal, multimedia and 3D sculpture. The art club builds on Summer Wyman’s community art program, which she has run out of her garden at her Carmel Valley home since 2020, known as Summer Wyman Fine Art Studio. When schools shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic, the couple began hosting art gatherings and lessons for people of all ages, taught by them and other local instructors. Over the years, the program has grown and become a wonderful thing for their family, Summer Wyman said. “I think what really sets us apart is just really the atmosphere that we nurture, both here at our garden studio and here at Surf and Turf Art Club. We’re really

wanting to create a space that is kind and welcoming and nurturing, and a place where people from everywhere will come and want to share creativity and a love for the arts,” she said. The expansion to Del Mar began because Surf and Turf Tennis Center was seeking a community partner that could offer art instruction to youth participating in tennis programs during the summer. The partnership was wildly successful during summer camps, and moving forward into the school year, the Wymans will continue operating the art club out of a shared building on the tennis center property every weekday afternoon. “They were incredibly generous and welcoming,” Summer Wyman said of the tennis center.

Tennis center manager J.Z. Keegan said this partnership gives families the opportunity to participate in tennis and art programming all in one place. In the past, the center has also partnered with others to teach skills such as coding to local youth. “We’re really excited that we can also add enrichment such as the Surf and Turf Art Club to help them with their creative side. It’s a one-stop drop-off, which is really cool,” Keegan said. Summer Wyman studied fine art at the Art Center College of Design and also obtained a master’s in education from UC San Diego. In addition to working as a professional artist and running her fine art studio, she also teaches art to elementary school students at Elevate

9 to 12 are offered Monday to Friday, and the Art Club Studio for ages 13 and up and adults is on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. A complete schedule of club times and prices is available online at socalartclasses.com. Participants do not need to be enrolled in the Surf and Turf Tennis Center to join the Surf and Turf Art Club. However, Keegan said the goal is to provide youth with opportunities to try both art and tennis, if they choose.

Leadership changes come to SMUSD schools

The San Marcos Unified School District confirmed leadership changes at several schools ahead of the new academic year. Nathan Baker, who has served as the principal of Mission Hills High School since 2022, has been named the new principal of Twin Oaks High School and the district’s associated Adult School. He will replace former principal Garth Phillips, who will now oversee the district’s Adult Transition Program. School district representatives said the district periodically makes leadership transitions based on strengths and evolving needs at individual school sites.

Jason Wyman also has a teaching background, previously working as an art teacher in the Oceanside Unified School District, and has been drawing for years. The two also have a young daughter who keeps them busy outside of their artistic pursuits. Through Summer Wyman Fine Art Studio, they focus on creating a space where people feel safe taking creative risks, no matter their skill level. While people can drop in to the art club, they hope they will start coming every week. “We’re encouraging people to sign up as a weekly part of their routine. That’s why we call it an art club — it’s the community feel,” Jason Wyman said. The Wymans said the garden studio has been a huge blessing to their family, and they are looking forward to working with even more community members at the Surf and Turf Art Club. “We’re just really excited to expand our business and be a part of the community, and share our love for the arts with our fellow neighbors in northern San Diego,” Summer Wyman said. Surf and Turf Art Club offers drop-in sessions for various age groups. The Kids Art Club for ages 5 to 8 and the Youth Art Club for ages

Make chutneys part of your preservation mix jano’s

garden jano nightingale

was first introduced to Indian food in New York City decades ago. I was a transplant from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where our family enjoyed all of the international specialties that came from the Midwest, such as German, Ukrainian, Polish, Norwegian and, of course, Italian and Chinese. But in the 1960s, the cuisine of India had not yet reached Milwaukee. So, when I lived in New York City, I tried to sample as many varieties of cuisine as possible. One of the most memorable Indian restaurants was a tiny hole-in-the-wall that served tandoori chicken, naan made on the open grill and a condiment selection that took up half the table. Pickles, sliced vegetables, toasted garlic, curry spice mixtures and the largest array of chutneys I had ever seen were all conveniently placed in a lazy Susan in the middle of the table. I left the restaurant with my clothes smelling of the musky flavor of the exquisite food and infinite-

ly satisfied to have tasted a new cuisine. As my search for food preservation techniques continues this week here in SoCal, I will feature chutney as a condiment as well as a food preservation technique. I located a highly informative blog, “Cooking with Madhu,” by Madhu Gadia, which not only gives us historical background but a plethora of recipes as well. Among them, she shares the Indian classic genre of dishes called chutney.

From her blog: “Per the dictionary, ‘Chutney is a spicy condiment made of fruits or vegetables with vinegar, spices, and sugar, originating in India.’ The word chutney is derived from the Hindi word ‘chatna,’ which literally means ‘to lick’ — finger-licking goodness. “Chutneys and pickles are as Indian as curries. The concept of chutneys is no longer new to the Western world; they have become as well-known as salsa. Indian chutneys are typically

piquant — with all its synonyms, hot, spicy, tangy, and sharp — palate-pleasing condiments that liven up any dish. They can also be sweet and mild.”

Try your first chutney

Although there are a multitude of books about chutneys, I located a gem at Cole Library in Carlsbad. “Cold Canning,” by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, introduces even the most newbie cook to the joy

of creating chutneys. “We serve our chutneys with the traditional curries and flatbread naan, but we also add liberally to more American fare such as burgers, hot dogs and sausages; and to our side dishes such as tuna or pasta salad.” Since August is the best time of year to find local mangoes, here is their recipe for Classic Mango Chutney: “This one has a bright orange color and a fresh flavor, still redolent of the mangoes’ perfume. Ours is not spicy, it’s more spiky thanks to the crystallized ginger. Serve with raita and/ or dal or curry or an American chicken salad.” The “Cold Canning” cookbook goes on to feature Major Grey’s, Hot Tomato, Rhubarb-Chipotle, and the list goes on.

DIRECTIONS 1. Combine all the ingredients in large saucepan. Set the pan over medium-high heat, and cook, stirring often, until it comes to a boil, about five minutes. 2. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring to prevent scorching, until so thick that you can run a wooden spoon across bottom of pan and create a line that holds edges for a second. Total cook time 45 minutes. 3. Turn off the heat, remove pan from burner, set aside for 2 minutes. Skim the surface to remove foam. Remove cinnamon stick. 4.

CITY OF ENCINITAS PUBLIC NOTICE OF ORDINANCE INTRODUCTION ORDINANCE NO. 2026-10

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Encinitas has introduced Ordinance No. 2026-010 titled “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Encinitas, California, Adding Chapter 30.21 Residential in Commercial Zones Pursuant to State Law to Title 30 Zoning of the Encinitas Municipal Code to Implement AB 2011 and SB 6 Citywide and Amendments to Reference and Incorporate the Objective Design Standards as Chapter 12, Appendix in the Downtown Encinitas Specific Plan and as Chapter 11, Appendix in the North 101 Corridor Specific Plan.” Ordinance No. 2026-10 would amend Title 30 to add a new chapter to implement AB 2011 and SB 6 and amendments to the Downtown Encinitas and North 101 Corridor Specific Plans to reference and incorporate the objective design and development standards. The objective standards would be a new chapter in each specific plan as an Appendix and include clear, measurable, and objective design and development standards that would be applicable to all multifamily residential and mixed-use development projects—not only projects utilizing AB 2011 and SB 6. Adopting a citywide implementing ordinance for AB 2011 and SB 6 alongside adopting objective design standards for the Downtown Encinitas and North 101 Corridor Specific Plans is imperative in giving the city local control over these development projects. These are tools that interpret and establish clear procedures for administering complex State housing laws that include strict timelines, eligibility criteria, and nuanced development standards. The objective design standards for the specific plans include comprehensive and measurable standards that address a range of design elements to ensure that new development is well integrated and help preserve the distinct community character within each specific plan area. These objective standards address site planning; building design and massing; ground floor treatment; private outdoor amenity space and common open space; exterior material finishes and lighting; landscaping; circulation and parking; and service areas and utilities. Collectively, this work effort would establish the maximum allowed local control permissible should any multifamily or mixed-use development, AB 2011, SB 6, or other State housing law housing development application be submitted. Ordinance 2026-10 was introduced at the Regular City Council meeting held August 12, 2026, by the following vote: AYES: Ehlers, Lyndes, O’Hara, San Antonio, Shaffer. NAYS: None. ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: None. The City Council will consider the adoption of this Ordinance at the August 26, 2026, Regular City Council meeting commencing at 6:00 p.m., in the City Council Chambers, 505 South Vulcan Avenue. The Ordinance is on file in the office of the City Clerk, 505 South Vulcan Avenue and may be viewed between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act/Section 504 Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title VI, this agency is an equal opportunity public entity and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, religion, veteran status or physical or mental disability in employment or the provision of service.

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.

Leading Note: Where young musicians grow

eading Note Studios is making it easier for young musicians to find their sound, build confidence and have fun doing it. The North County music school, recently named a 2026 Gold Winner for Best Music Lessons, is enrolling students in small-group fall classes that combine real instruction with the energy of making music with others. Its nationally recognized programs are designed to help students become confident, capable musicians in a

welcoming environment. Fall options include Pop/Rock Vocal Band on Mondays from 7 to 7:50 p.m. for ages 6 and up, Ukulele Group Lessons on Thursdays from 5:30 to 6:20 p.m. for ages 7 and up, and Guitar Group Lessons on Thursdays from 6:30 to 7:20 p.m. for ages 7 and up. For families comparing music lessons in Encinitas or music lessons in San Marcos, Leading Note Studios offers a social alternative to one-on-one instruction. Students get personal

attention in small classes while learning to rehearse, collaborate and make music with others. Each group class is $37.50, making it an approachable way for students to explore an instrument or develop their voice before taking the next step. Ready to turn an interest in music into something your child can actually play, sing and share? Visit LeadingNoteStudios.com to explore fall programs and register today at either North County studio location.

PLASTIC

mended banning pool and beach toys made of foam, but the City Council requested that these items be removed. This new ban builds upon the city’s existing polystyrene plastics reduction ordinance, passed in 2023, that prevents restaurants and cafes from providing foam food service ware to customers. City staff said they have received 29 complaints about businesses being out of compliance with the 2023 ordinance, but they have been able to gain compliance through education and outreach. McCarthy said the new regulations would impact around 100 businesses in the city that currently sell polystyrene products. The city has also worked with the city’s Economic Development Director and the Chamber

of Commerce to provide outreach to businesses and said they don’t anticipate major issues. “Based on current ban experience and state regulations, no significant concerns were identified for implementation and regulation,” McCarthy said. Franklin also opposed moving forward with further limitations on polystyrene. The Vista Environmental Commission recommended both the plastic water bottle and polystyrene initiatives. The polystyrene ban was based on what the city of Oceanside has adopted, according to the city. Other cities throughout North County have banned plastic water bottles at city events and the sale of polystyrene products, including, most recently, Del Mar.

San Marcos holiday parade future uncertain By Jim Trageser

SAN MARCOS — The future of the popular San Marcos Holiday Parade is up in the air after financial challenges led the Kiwanis Club of Lake San Marcos to inform the city it can no longer organize the annual event. City spokesperson Nikki Matosian said no final decision has been made, but officials are working to find a new organizer and sponsors before the parade’s traditional date on the first Sunday of December. Founded more than 30 years ago by the Kiwanis Club of San Marcos, the parade has been held annually since at least 1996, except in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Two years ago the city decided, after looking at their budget issues, that they could no longer cover the inkind fees they had been covering,” said Carrie Clevers, a longtime Kiwanis parade organizer. “For many years, the

city did pick up the band stipends of $3,000. First, they told us they could no longer do that. And by the way, they could no longer cover the highway safety fee, which was $7,000.” Clevers explained that the club added $11,000 in expenses to its budget last year — although the city did end up covering some of the 2025 fees with the understanding that it would be unable to do so this year. Clevers added: “(County Supervisor) Jim Desmond’s office gave us a neighborhood grant of $15,000, and that’s how we covered the parade last year. “The problem is we can’t expect a $15,000 grant from the county every year, and beating the bushes for these funds every year was insurmountable. “We notified the city in April that we could not run the parade any longer. The city came back in June, saying the City Council really wanted the parade to con-

tinue, and had found some funds. They would cover part of it to encourage us to do it another year to give them more time to find a replacement.” With Kiwanis focused on its annual scholarship fund for San Marcos high school seniors, Clevers said the club lacked the capacity to also raise money for the parade. Last year’s event drew 1,250 participants, with thousands more lining the route along Mission Avenue from Palomar College east to the transit center at San Marcos Boulevard. In 2018, declining membership led the San Marcos Kiwanis to merge with the Lake San Marcos club, which ran the parade through last year. Editor’s note: Reporter Jim Trageser is a former member of both the San Marcos Kiwanis Club and the Lake San Marcos Kiwanis Club, and was Captain Book for two years.

LaDieu to lead Vista station By Leo Place

VISTA — David LaDieu will serve as the new captain at the Vista Sheriff’s Station effective Aug. 21, following former captain John Malan’s promotion to a commander role in the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office. LaDieu has served over two decades in the Sheriff’s Office, most recently as captain of the Major Crimes Division. He started out in 2005 as a detention deputy sheriff, and has also served in the patrol, gang and crime suppression units, special

enforcement detail, the sheriff’s communications center, the Narcotics Task Force, and as the media relations director in 2023 and 2024. His experience also includes serving as a sergeant at Vista Station from Novem- LADIEU ber 2018 to January 2020. Vista City Manager John Conley said he is an excellent person to lead the Vista Station due to his familiarity with the city and his varied leadership experience. “His previous service at the station gives him an established understanding of our community, while his experience as the Sheriff’s Office media relations director reflects his ability to communicate openly and build public trust. We look forward to welcoming him back to Vista and working with him to keep our community safe,” Conley said. LaDieu said stepping

into the position is an incredible honor. “I look forward to working collaboratively with our residents, community organizations and the dedicated deputies who serve this community each day. I am committed to fostering meaningful engagement, strengthening public trust and improving quality-of-life issues for our residents. I am optimistic about the opportunities ahead and remain dedicated to ensuring our continued partnership with the community,” LaDieu said. Malan has served as the Vista Sheriff’s captain since December 2024. Under his leadership, the department added a second gang detective after years of requests to the Vista City Council for more personnel. Conley recognized Malan for his leadership and service in Vista. Malan will be assigned to the sheriff’s Human Resources Bureau. “We wish him continued success in his new role as commander,” Conley said.
