Del Mar asks DA, feds to investigate

BE INSPIRED

By Leo Place

DEL MAR — In an unusual move, the Del Mar City Council is asking local and federal authorities to investigate the “conduct of elected and appointed officials” related to the proposed Seaside Ridge housing development and its bearing on the city’s efforts to develop affordable housing on the Fairgrounds property. During a special meeting on Monday, the City Council agreed in a 3-0 vote, with Councilmember Dan Quirk absent, to make an investiARABO gative referral to the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. This included a letter outlining real estate and campaign contributions connections between Brian Guiltinian, an advisor and broker for the Seaside Ridge project, 22nd District Agricultural Association Boardmember Mark Arabo, who serves on the state body that oversees the Del Mar Fairgrounds, and state Attorney General Rob Bonta. The city said in its letter that concerns were initially brought forward by resident Debrah Barnes in early July, and that after an initial review, they felt that the situation should be reviewed further by an investigative agency. “The public is entitled to have confidence and trust in its public institutions and officials, and to know

VISTA — A judge set a trial date for a man accused of vehicular manslaughter after denying the defendant’s request for a diversion program that would have dismissed the charges upon successful completion of court-ordered conditions. Eddie Sengendo, 45, was charged in November 2025 with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in the death of Emery Chalekian, 12, following an April 2025 collision. The diversion hearing was originally scheduled for July 16 but was delayed after Judge Sim von Kalinowski recused himself

There’s just over a week until Carlsbad Village Association’s August Carlsbad Community Clean-Up, and we hope you’ll join us for another rewarding morning of giving back to the Village we all love. On Saturday, August 15, people of all ages are invited to help keep Carlsbad Village clean, welcoming, and beautiful for everyone who lives, works, and visits here. Whether you’ve joined us before or have been thinking about coming out for the first time, we’d love to have you be part of it. We’ll meet outside Pure Project Carlsbad Village, located at 2825 State Street, at 9:30 AM, with the clean-up running until 11:30 AM. We’ll provide gloves, buckets, pickers, and everything you need. Stay for the full morning or join us for as long as you’re able. Every volunteer makes a difference. Our Community Clean-Ups have already had an incredible impact this year, with volunteers collecting thousands of pounds of litter while helping preserve the charm and beauty that make Carlsbad Village such a special place. Every event is a reminder of what can be accomplished when our community comes together with a shared purpose. As a thank you for volunteering, participants who collect at least two pounds of litter will receive $1 off a pint at Pure Project, a free single scoop card from Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream, and a complimentary coffee from Baba Coffee on the day of the event. Community Clean-Ups are about more than picking up litter. They’re an opportunity to meet neighbors, connect with fellow community members, and take pride in caring for the place we all enjoy. It’s always inspiring to see so many people come together to make a visible difference in just a few hours. Can’t make it to Carlsbad Village on August 15th? Then mark your calendar to join the Ocean Conservancy and the California Coastal Commission as they partner with volunteer organizations, such as I Love A Clean San Diego to create the largest, international cleanup day. I Love A Clean San Diego leads the efforts for this day in San Diego County for the 42nd year in a row. Data collected from this event feeds into the world’s largest database on marine debris. Join our efforts this year to be a part of this global event! This year, our countywide Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday, September 19th from 9am to 12pm, will have around 100 + locations for volunteers to choose from, inland and coastal. The Carlsbad Village site will be hosted by Lily Field Realty on Roosevelt St. who will manage volunteers on site, properly dispose of the trash, and report back totals.

Leucadia shops wrestle with Streetscape fatigue Years of delays, lost revenue take toll on businesses By Summer Hu

ENCINITAS — Leucadia Cyclery owner Jeff Schade noticed the heavy machinery about 10 feet from his storefront had not moved in a long time. In February, Schade jokingly hung a 6-foot sign over a piece of construction equipment in front of his shop and left it there. “The tractor did not start its engine for three weeks and sat in front of Avocado Street with no movement,” Schade said. Large construction equipment still dots the shoulders, medians and work zones along North Coast Highway 101 as crews continue work on the Leucadia Streetscape project, which aims to improve mobility for pedestrians and cyclists along the 2.5-mile corridor while beautifying the area. The total cost of the project, which broke ground in January 2021, is more than $65 million, according to iBank loan documents. The project’s initial phase, Segment A2 (North), was completed in 2022 and featured roadway and sidewalk improvements, along with new roadside trees, from Marcheta Street to Basil Street. In 2023, as part of Segment B-C, the city added new striping, a bike lane and median modifications between Basil Street and La Costa Avenue, while installing flashing crosswalks at Diana Street and North Court. Preliminary designs for Segment B, from Basil Street to Jupiter Street, and

Segment A1 (South), from A Street to Marcheta Street, are complete, but construction funding has not yet been secured. Segment C, the current phase of the multi-year project stretching from Jupiter Street to La Costa Avenue, carries an estimated $32 million price tag. Construction began in 2024 and was originally scheduled for completion by summer 2025, according to the project’s website. However, after the City Council approved additional drainage improvements, including a new storm drain system to help reduce flooding along the corridor, the project’s timeline was extended by about a year and a half, Director of Engineering Dan Nutter told The Coast News. According to the city, crews have completed the project’s largest storm drain installations, paved the northbound lanes and

installed about 1,000 feet of new water main. Construction is now focused on sewer and drainage infrastructure, additional water main installation, paving and median improvements between Jupiter Street and La Costa Avenue. The city now expects Segment C to be completed by October, with sidewalk and road work expected to be “up close and personal” with businesses over the next few months, Nutter said. But business owners along the corridor said the prolonged construction has hurt their bottom line by limiting customer access and creating safety concerns. Stacy Reddell, executive director of the Leucadia 101 Mainstreet Association, a nonprofit that supports businesses along the Coast Highway 101 corridor, said sales declined an average of 25% to 40% among the

20 businesses she surveyed over the past year. The Leucadian Bar co-owner David Shapiro said his business has struggled to stay afloat during the past few years of Streetscape construction. While he acknowledged the need for the roadway and drainage improvements, the loss of street parking has discouraged customers from booking events at The Leucadian. “Revenue got stagnant as soon as the project started,” Shapiro said. Shapiro said customers have told him they avoid Coast Highway 101 because construction has made it difficult to access businesses and navigate the corridor, a concern Schade echoed. “When (customers) say that, it’s a stab to the heart,” Schade said. Leucadia Donut Shoppe owner Tom Chu said construction has made

it difficult for northbound customers to reach his business, forcing many to continue driving to La Costa Avenue to make a U-turn. As a result, according to Chu, sales have declined this summer compared with previous years. Reddell said that the lack of a closer U-turn has inconvenienced customers and significantly affected businesses along the corridor. Schade, who also serves as a board member of the Leucadia 101 MainStreet Association, said the disruption would be easier to accept if businesses saw steady progress. “It would be something we could deal with if there

was some communication, but the frustration is that I sit 10 feet in front of the construction and every day I see, on average, one or two guys, maybe once or twice a week,” Schade said. Sip-N-Sea owner Giuseppe Georgees said he often went months without seeing construction crews working in front of his business. Nutter, however, said the project is only behind schedule by about a month, which is “pretty darn good” for a construction project of this size. “I have not seen or heard of (the city) having no construction activities for TURN TO STREETSCAPE ON 35

Enough word games

uphemisms can obscure serious harms. Two examples that jump out at me lately are “fraudsters” and “prediction markets.” “Fraudsters.” It’s a cute nickname. It sounds like the kids around Halloween who ding-dong-dash the old folks or knock over trash cans. Oh, those little “pranksters.” And so we just nod, knowing we did foolish, harmless things in our youth as well. But as the news media is applying the term “fraudsters,” they are really hiding the truth. These are not cute, cuddly pranksters. These are criminals. Commercial- and industrial-scale professional criminal organizations are ripping off our government programs — the very programs we as a caring nation have set up to assist those who truly have needs. But these criminals — and yes, I’m talking about the folks in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, California and elsewhere — have instead professionalized defrauding our system. As a result, our federal dollars, instead of helping needy Americans, end up funding lavish lifestyles as well as foreign players. Tax dollars, and these days, more correctly called borrowed federal dollars, are going to groups that sometimes end up sending money to foreign governments that may not be friendly toward America. Isn’t that swell? The casual branding of organized criminal fraud as “fraudsters” is just the type of euphemism that can lead the public to mentally downplay its seriousness. Targeting Medicare, Medi-Cal, hospice and other welfare programs is despicable and should be described as such. “Prediction markets.” Another term that softens reality, much like calling a career arsonist a “fire enthusiast.” This linguistic sleight-of-hand diminishes accountability and reality. What are “prediction markets”? You hear it in the news as though it’s a stock

But on a more hopeful and happy note, on a recent outing, I had a conversation with an out-of-towner from Arizona who had recently discovered our American Legion. “You don’t even need to be a veteran to go there, and the food and drinks are excellent!” he informed me. I just smiled. Yup, Encinitas has American Legion Post 416, established in 1932. It makes me proud that our town has had the good fortune to support such an establishment for so long, and it’s continually improving. In the interest of full disclosure, I am a member of the post and of its motor-

Furthermore, it’s unregulated, sometimes rigged betting, and it’s doing a lot of damage to our young people. In 2018, the Supreme Court overturned a federal ban on betting via mobile apps, and according to The Wall Street Journal as well as other sources, the rapid play, integration with sports and entertainment, easy access, low initial buy-in and constant engagement have led to this becoming a serious problem among many in the Gen Z cohort, in particular young men ages 18-34.

While the American Legion focuses on advocacy for veterans, national security and youth mentorship, it also has nightly music and entertainment, including on the third Wednesday of each month, when it hosts arguably the best free comedy show in North County.

It’s an easy night out, as the show starts early, at 7:30 p.m., and ends around 8:45 p.m. There are no reservations, so it’s recommended to come early and grab a seat, along with a bite and a drink. It’s nestled right off the downtown strip at 210 W. F Street in Encinitas. Have a happy summer. Jerome Stocks is a former Encinitas mayor and city councilman.

n his July 10 op-ed, “Encinitas should stop funding feel-good climate policies,” Encinitas resident Denis Lougeay gives the impression that climate change is an overblown issue that does not warrant Encinitas’s actions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In making his case, he makes a number of false claims and includes misinformation concerning climate change. For example, Lougeay makes the claim that: “Although CO2 levels have continued to rise as projected, the Earth’s temperatures, which were forecast to increase in parallel with CO2 increases…have virtually leveled off for the last 20 years…Catastrophic events such as fires, floods and hurricanes cannot be linked to a slightly warmer climate.” This is simply not true. In fact, global warming has accelerated in recent decades, with the last 11 years being the warmest on record. There is an overwhelming scientific consensus that human activities — primarily the emission of greenhouse gases — are the dominant driver of the observed warming since the mid-20th century. The impacts of global warming are already being felt in California, including a warmer, drier climate, more destructive wildfires, rising sea levels and adverse effects on public health and agriculture. Since 1895, the state’s annual average air temperature has increased by about 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. A 2022 study in the journal Science concluded that 2000-2021 was the driest 22-year period in the western United States since at least 800 CE and found that human-caused warming made this drought substantially worse. Anthropogenic climate change has contributed to an approximately fivefold increase in summer burned area in forests in Northern and Central California during 1996 to 2021 relative to 1971 to 1995. Additionally, sea level along California’s coast has risen 7 to 8 inches over the last century and is projected to rise another 1.6 to 3 feet under intermediate scenarios by 2100, posing a serious threat to coastal infrastructure. This is a global problem that requires cooperation at a global level. However, these efforts cannot succeed without the leadership of the United States. We have a responsibility to help lead these efforts, given that

no other country has more cumulative CO₂ emissions than the United States. Over the last 25 years, California citizens, through their elected officials at the state and local levels, have enacted some of the most ambitious and comprehensive policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the world. These include GHG emission reduction targets, cap-and-trade, renewable energy mandates, energy efficiency standards, subsidies for electric vehicles and renewable energy, climate action plans, and Community Choice Aggregation. It is important that we continue to discuss the merits and effectiveness of such policies and make any needed corrections and improvements. We should welcome discussion and debate about specific policies (Lougeay’s op-ed is void of such specifics). However, when considered in their entirety, the evidence suggests that the benefits of these policies outweigh their costs. These policies have contributed to the widespread adoption of renewable energy, battery storage technology and electric vehicles. Wind and solar now provide roughly 40% of California’s electricity generation, and the top-selling car in California is an electric vehicle. Climate mitigation policies also have significant environmental and health benefits by reducing pollutants released during the extraction, production and burning of fossil fuels. Additionally, climate policies have helped create new industries, companies and jobs, contributing to California’s strong economy. Climate policies enacted by our elected representatives have strengthened California’s economy, improved public health and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. We should continue to debate how these policies can be improved, but that debate should be grounded in evidence rather than misinformation. California’s climate leadership is an achievement we should build upon — not abandon. Christopher S.

Carlsbad OKs Village condos despite objections By Cameron Adams

CARLSBAD — After sharply criticizing the state housing laws that left them little choice, the Carlsbad City Council approved a five-story mixed-use condominium project along Carlsbad Village Drive despite repeated objections to its size and density. The council voted 4-1 on July 28 to approve the project at 840 Carlsbad Village Drive, which will replace a vacant former bank on a 0.72-acre site with 50 for-sale condominiums and 3,801 square feet of groundfloor commercial space. The project nearly doubles the 26 units otherwise allowed under the Village & Barrio Master Plan through California’s Density Bonus Law. The development includes one-, two- and three-bedroom condominiums, including four deed-restricted units for very low-income households and four for moderate-income households. Under state housing laws, the project also qualified for six waivers from city development standards, including maximum building height and parking requirements. The affordable units will remain deed restricted for 55 years. Mayor Keith Blackburn said the scale of the project was roughly double what the city’s planning documents envisioned. “We have a growth management plan, and it

just makes so much sense — and the residents voted on it,” Blackburn said. “It says we’re not going to build more and faster than what we can handle. And it’s so frustrating to have state lawmakers in Sacramento say, ‘Too bad, we don’t care. You’re going to do this.’ “I think it’s disgusting, I think it’s cowardice of the state to do that and then to tell us we have to vote on it and we have to vote yes and if we don’t vote yes, there’s consequences.” Blackburn said his frustration was directed at state laws — not the developer — for removing local control over projects like this. “We want to make the decisions we think are in the best interest of the city,” Blackburn said. “It kills me to have to say yes to these projects, but the state has mandated that we say yes to them.” Eric Lardy, a city planner, said recent state laws,

including the Housing Crisis Act, Housing Accountability Act and Density Bonus Law, were enacted to accelerate housing construction by limiting local governments’

ment of new housing. So even though cities have traditionally had control over how land is used — and here in Carlsbad that included establishing a cap on how

ability to deny qualifying residential projects. “New state housing laws have been passed that fundamentally change how new housing gets approved,” Lardy said. “The state’s goal in passing these laws was to accelerate the develop-

many homes would be built. Today we find ourselves in a much different position.” Lardy said the Housing Accountability Act’s “stated purpose of the law is to significantly increase new housing by curbing the local governments’ ability

to effectively deny housing projects,” noting that “issues like community character and bulk and scale are often considered subjective” and therefore generally cannot be used to reject projects. He said the city could only deny the project if it found a specific, unmitigable public health or safety impact, a standard staff concluded the proposal did not meet. City staff also noted that California courts have consistently upheld these state housing provisions, further limiting local discretion.

‘Missing middle’

All 50 condominiums will be offered for sale, including four reserved for very low-income households and four for moderate-income households, qualifying the project for a density bonus under state law. Jonathan Frankel, representing developer Rincon Homes, said the city has

permitted only 14 deed-restricted moderate-income housing units in the past five years, all of them rentals. “As far as we can tell, it is the very first project in the city to offer for-sale deed restricted homes for moderate income families,” Frankel said. “We frequently refer to this income category — these folks — as the missing middle.” He said the “missing middle” consists of households earning too much to qualify for significant housing subsidies but too little to afford market-rate homes. Frankel estimated the moderate-income units would sell for $375,000 to $425,000, while the very low-income units would sell for about $150,000. He added that the project will prohibit short-term rentals. The plans include 50 parking spaces in a ground-level garage, though Frankel said the design could accommodate up to 23 additional spaces using mechanical parking lifts, depending on residents’ needs and vehicle types. He said the development team had “evaluated all options to increase parking on-site” and would work with the city to identify additional solutions to address parking concerns.

SAN MARCOS — Dozens of residents gathered at the San Marcos Senior Center on Sunday for the annual State of the City address, where Mayor Rebecca Jones and San Marcos Unified School District Superintendent Andy Johnsen provided updates on ongoing projects and initiatives. The event was bittersweet for Jones, who will be leaving her post at the end of the year after nearly 20 years of service on the City Council, including eight years as mayor. In November, she will face Democratic candidate Kyle Krahel in the race to succeed San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond in District 5. “After serving our community for 20 years, I’m really excited to look around this room and see all the people that have helped shape our community,” Jones said. “It has been such an honor to serve each one of you.” Jones, a Republican, said San Marcos has a city government that people can rely on, whether it comes to planning for future needs, responsibly using Measure Q sales tax dollars, or upgrading roads to improve traffic flow. “The state of our city isn’t defined by one new building or one new project. It’s defined by a city that keeps its promises to its residents, a city that takes care of what it has, a city that plans ahead, and perhaps most importantly, a city that continues to feel like home,” Jones said. Jones applauded the city for its recent adoption of a balanced 2026-27 budget, thanks in part to revenue from the one-cent Measure Q sales tax approved by voters in 2024. Measure Q funds are being used for the new Fire Station 5, road and infrastructure maintenance, public safety equipment upgrades, updates to local parks, and various other items. She said the city is also committed to finding outside funding and grants whenever possible, such as

$5 million in state funding awarded by Assemblymember Darshana Patel this year for improvements at six different parks. Jones highlighted several city projects from the past year, including HVAC upgrades at the senior activity center, upgrades to play structures at various parks, and the replastering of the Woodland Park Pool. Other major upcoming projects include the new Fire Station 5 at the corner of Las Posas Road and Armorlite Drive, which will break ground at the end of this year, and the arrival of a new medical center by Scripps Health in the North City area at the corner of Twin Oaks Valley Road and Discovery Drive. “This is going to be one of the most significant projects in our city’s history, a nearly $2 billion investment,” Jones said of the Scripps Medical Center. Later this year, the city will conduct its annual paving project along 21 miles of roads. The city is also finishing work on the extension of the left-turn lane on San Marcos Boulevard near San Marcos High School, which Jones said will be the first phase in a larger improvement project along the boulevard. “We’re in phase 1 of traffic improvements along San Marcos Boulevard, which is important to everyone, of course, who goes through our city,” she said.

Jones noted that improvements are also underway at the former Restaurant Row site, which is being developed with housing, new commercial space and a new park. The city is also in the process of updating the Creek Specific Plan, first adopted in 2007, to lay the groundwork for a new arts and entertainment hub in the San Marcos Creek District. Jones also recognized the work of past city officials who helped to shape the city into what it is today. She specifically called out Pia Harris-Ebert, the first woman elected to the San Marcos City Council in 1982, who went on to serve for 24 years, and who was present in the audience. “So much of what we’re highlighting today didn’t happen overnight. People like Pia, they did the hard work, and many of the opportunities we’re seeing now, here today, were imagined by community leaders decades ago,” Jones said. Jones is headed to the General Election in the supervisor race after a strong showing in the June Primary, where she surpassed fellow Republican North County mayor John Franklin of Vista. Either Jones or Krahel will succeed Desmond, a Republican who is termed out of office and is facing off against Marni von Wilpert for the 48th Congressional District in November. Desmond was Jones’ predecessor as San Marcos Mayor, and also attended the State of the City address. The 2026 State of the City also included an update on the state of education in the San Marcos Unified School District. Johnsen said in just a few weeks, the district’s 19 elementary, middle and high schools will have their classrooms filled with around 19,000 students for the start of the new school year. Many students will be participating in one of the district’s 17 different Career Technical Education (CTE)

pathways focused on preparing students for various careers. There are pathways for education, computer science, criminal justice, culinary arts, health care, woodworking and engineering, to name a few. “When I was in school, we spent a lot of time talking about what we wanted to be someday. Today’s students have the opportunity to begin becoming those things while they are still in school,” Johnsen said. Work is also underway throughout the district to update various campuses and facilities, including the Knob Hill Elementary rebuild, the Woodland Park Middle School restoration, and the Paloma Elementary renovation. These projects are funded with Measure JJ bonds, approved by voters in the school district in 2024. Johnsen said the $94 million Knob Hill project is on schedule, and students will begin moving into the new buildings in December. The project involves reconstructing all the buildings, replacing portable classrooms with permanent buildings, and reconfiguring the site. The $105.2 million Woodland Park Middle restoration is crucial to updating the campus, which Johnsen said was originally designed as an elementary school, into a modern learning environment for middle schoolers. “Innovative teaching deserves innovative learning environments,” Johnsen said. He noted that the district’s efforts are also being recognized on the state and national level. San Elijo Middle School was recognized as a 2026 California Distinguished School, Twin Oaks High School was recognized as a 2026 California Model Continuation School, and San Marcos Elementary School was recognized last year as one of America’s healthiest schools by the Alliance for a Healthier Generation for its support of staff wellbeing.

Rainbow rallies for hurt boy

EUSD to fill seat amid controversy By Samantha Nelson

By Jordan P. Ingram

RAINBOW — Nearly three months after a Rainbow seventh grader was severely injured in a collision with a trash truck, the tight-knit Vallecitos School community is rallying to help his family as he continues to recover at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego. Jorge Sandoval, 12, remains in the intensive care unit after suffering leg injuries when he collided with an EDCO garbage truck while riding an e-bike on May 26 along Rainbow Valley Boulevard. Jorge has SANDOVAL since undergone multiple surgeries, and doctors continue working to save his legs, according to Natasha Koelkebeck, Vallecitos School’s community schools and MultiTiered System of Supports (MTSS) coordinator. Koelkebeck, who taught Jorge in fifth grade, said the family has spent nearly every day at Rady Children’s Hospital since the collision occurred. After the incident, Koelkebeck organized a GoFundMe campaign. The fundraiser has raised more than $5,700 to help the family pay for medical bills, daily transportation between Rainbow and the San Diego hospital, and other expenses. Friends and classmates have sent Jorge cards, posters and toys while awaiting updates from the family. “We’re a very small school with only about 200 students, so everybody is really close,” she said. “He was always helping with school events. Whenever you needed him, he was there. He’s just a super good kid with a great heart. The fundraiser has also drawn support from Rainbow residents, many of whom work in the area’s agricultural nurseries, Koelkebeck said. “This isn’t an affluent community, and people have given what they can,” Koelkebeck said. “Even if they don’t have a lot, everyone wants to help.” According to the California Highway Patrol, the collision occurred around 7:42 a.m. May 26 near the 2160 block of Rainbow Valley Boulevard. Investigators said Jorge, who was wearing a helmet and riding a standard e-bike, was believed to be at fault in the collision, but there were no reports he was riding recklessly.

Breakfast Republic closing three locations By Leo Place

ENCINITAS — Local San Diego breakfast chain Breakfast Republic is closing three locations in San Diego County, including one in Encinitas, as owners pursue dining ventures in other parts of Southern California and Texas, restaurant owner Rise & Shine Hospitality Group announced. Aug. 9 will be the last day of operation for the Breakfast Republic locations in Encinitas, Ocean Beach, and San Diego’s North Park neighborhood, Rise & Shine said in a press release. The Encinitas location at 251 North El Camino Real has been operating since 2016. The North Park location is the original restaurant, opening in 2015, and the Ocean Beach location opened in 2017. Rise & Shine Hospitality Group said the closures are resulting from expiring leases, as well as “strategic portfolio decisions” as the company looks toward longterm growth. “Over the years, we’ve always approached growth thoughtfully, and that means continually evaluating our restaurant portfolio while investing in new opportunities,” said Rise & Shine Hospitality Group founder Johan Engman. “We’re incredibly excited about what’s ahead. We’re expanding Breakfast Republic’s footprint throughout California while introducing Breakfast Company to Texas for the very first time. It’s an exciting new chapter for our team, our guests, and our company.” Other Breakfast Republic locations in San Diego will remain open, including in East Village, Liberty Station, Mission Valley, Pacific Beach, and Scripps Ranch, along with six others outside of San Diego. New locations of Breakfast Republic are coming

to Palm Springs, Orange County and Los Angeles, according to Rise & Shine. The company will be opening the first location of a new concept known as Breakfast Company in Dallas, Texas later this year. Breakfast Republic is known for its creative takes on breakfast classics like pancakes, egg benedicts, omelets and more, along with a menu of coffee and boozy drinks.

Carlsbad adds all-way stops at intersections

The Carlsbad City Council has approved plans to install all-way stop controls at three intersections across the city. City staff recommended the changes after determining the intersections met established criteria: • Alicante Road and Galena Avenue • Calle Hidalgo and Camino De Amigos • Paseo Cerro and Paseo Descanso The council voted unanimously to approve the ordinance at its July 28 meeting. The ordinance was introduced during the council’s July 21 meeting before returning for final approval. The city evaluated the intersections using criteria outlined in the state’s Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices in response to community requests and as part of ongoing efforts to improve traffic safety, according to city documents. The project is expected to cost about $18,000 for all three locations. The latest approvals follow similar traffic safety improvements authorized by the City Council in June. At that time, the council approved all-way stops at Batiquitos Drive and Avi-

ara Drive, Camino De Los Coches and La Costa Avenue, and Tamarack Avenue and Sunnyhill Drive, along with a neighborhood traffic-calming plan for Unicornio Street. According to the city, those intersections were selected after staff analyzed traffic volumes and patterns and determined all-way stops would improve pedestrian access, make it easier for drivers to enter busy roadways and help reduce speeding. — Cameron Adams

ESCONDIDO — The Escondido Union School Board is seeking applicants to fill a vacancy after Trustee Mark Olson resigned last month, prompting questions about the timing of his resignation and his residency in the months leading up to it. Olson’s resignation took effect July 24, giving the board 60 days under state law to either appoint someone to fill the vacancy until the end of Olson’s term in 2028 or call a special election. Olson represented Trustee Region 3, which covers the southeast corner of the district.During an emergency special meeting on July 30, a majority of the board voted to fill the vacancy by appointment rather than hold a special election, citing the additional time and cost involved. Several members of the public urged the board to hold a special election, alleging Olson resigned later than he should have after selling his Escondido home in June and moving to Utah for a new job. Property records show Olson sold his Escondido home on June 25. In May, he attended an Ogden City Council work session in Utah, where he was introduced as a new staff mem-

ber who began working there in March. “The timing of all this is suspicious because of the delay to resign after the June 25 deadline,” said Jason Chrones, a parent of two children in the district who spoke at the meeting. Some speakers also suggested Olson was living in Utah while attending two board meetings virtually. Harper said Olson notified the board on July 16 that he was moving to Utah, adding that board members had no knowledge of his residency before then. “We’re not monitoring each other’s place of residency,” Harper said. Board members are required to live in the trustee area they represent. Staff said a special election could not be held until March because the November ballot deadline had passed, and it would cost the district between $250,000 and $400,000.“That’s (the cost of) almost three teachers,” Board President Zesty Harper said. Applicant interviews will be conducted during a special board meeting at 6 p.m. Sept. 3 at Bear Valley Middle School. Applications are available at eusd.org or through the superintendent’s office at 760-432-2110.

MISSION TO EARTH

S

omehow, I know it was my decision To sign up for this special mission. Sometime before my day of birth I chose to spend this time on Earth.

To help my fellow creature’s quest For joy, bring out its best; To honor Earth in thought and deed, To curb all envy, thwart all greed.

My job, as far as I can trace, Was not to save the human race. Free will rules this tract of Creation. Each soul must find its own salvation.

And if some day you’ll ask how well I’ve met my goals, let nature tell: Is there one flower, one more tree, Another bird because of me?

Then what should be my mission’s goal, To grow in spirit, purge my soul? More clarity in someone’s mind, This is what every human asks. More beauty that I left behind? But I have more specific tasks: To fully be, make life an art, To express love with all my heart, To conquer fear, let freedom flare, To create beauty everywhere

Ocean views debated in Pacific St. condo rebuild Neighbors question taller condo building By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — A proposal to redevelop a small apartment complex on South Pacific Street has some neighbors worried they could lose their ocean views, while the owner and architectural team say the building’s design is modest and will not obstruct views or public access to the coast. Located at 1323 S. Pacific Street near the Witherby Street coastal access point, the project would demolish an existing two-story multifamily building with three dwelling units, merge two parcels, and construct a new three-sto-

ry residential building with five condominium units. The bottom two floors would each contain two units, while the top floor would house a penthouse unit where owner Brian Dunn plans to live with his wife.

Dunn and his wife, Encinitas residents who frequently visit South Oceanside and Carlsbad Village, said they are active in the Oceanside community, including volunteering at Brother Benno’s. The couple spotted the property

for sale some time ago and were immediately struck by it. “We thought it was a very special place,” he told the Oceanside Planning Commission on July 27. The project also includes an underground parking garage with five spaces, accessed by a 24-foot-wide driveway off Pacific Street leading to an internal vehicle elevator. The elevator would carry one vehicle at a time and include light indicators to alert approaching drivers when it is occupied. The driveway is large enough to accommodate vehicles waiting for the elevator. According to the plans, the project features a coastal modern architectural style that city planner Nathalie Vasquez said “fits well with the eclectic mix of homes along South Pacific

Street.” The plans also seek to reduce the building’s perceived massing by making it appear as a two-story structure from Pacific Street. The design incorporates “high quality exterior material,” natural-toned concrete, wood paneling and stucco in neutral earth tones. The front elevation includes wooden and metal tower elements, an elevator enclosure and an enclosed staircase with a “visually interesting facade.” Facing the ocean, the building features larger windows and private terraces to maximize natural light and coastal views for residents. The Planning Commission ultimately voted 5-1 to approve the project, with Commissioner Jesse Abril casting the lone dissenting

vote. For Abril, questions remained after Mitch Silverstein of the Surfrider Foundation said the project conflicts with the city’s Local Coastal Program and lacked an engineering report in the packet presented to commissioners during the public hearing. According to Silverstein, the project’s coastal engineer inspected the rock revetment protecting the property more than a year ago and concluded it would need to be replaced with a substantial seawall because of its deteriorated condition. However, in documents prepared for the recent public hearing, the applicant stated construction could proceed without improvements to the revetment. Silverstein also argued that rock revetments and seawalls are only allowed to protect existing structures, not newly constructed ones such as the proposed project. “This house is being demolished entirely, and what replaces it goes from 1,600 square feet to over 14,000 square feet and covers most of the lot,” Silverstein said. “It is a new structure, not an existing one.” City Planner Oscar Romero clarified that the report Silverstein referenced is a geologic report that staff reviewed as part of the overall project record but was not required to be included in the commission’s meeting packet. Romero said such documents could be included in future packets. Walt Crampton, the project’s coastal engineer, also addressed Silverstein’s concerns, saying the report was prepared under outdated sea level rise requirements and is no longer current. Other concerns centered on the project’s height. While the proposed building would appear as a two-story structure from Pacific Street, neighbors noted the existing building appears to be a single-story home from the roadway. “Thirty-eight feet is way too tall for this location,” wrote Maureen Schubert, who owns a home across the street. “As it now stands, the house looks like a single level home, but has another level below, as many properties along Pacific Street have. This is the look we should keep, so as not to take away ocean views forever.” Schubert also said she believes the building will block ocean breezes. Dunn said he has been “very sensitive” about ensuring the project preserves ocean views from the street. “We made a point of stepping back the building more than was necessary in order to accommodate that,” he said. According to city staff, the project will next go before the California Coastal Commission for final approval.

San Marcos explores Rancho Tesoro partnership By Leo Place

SAN MARCOS — The city of San Marcos will begin seeking a public-private partnership to develop recreational opportunities on the 40-acre Rancho Tesoro property, amid a lack of funds to develop the site on its own. The parkland along Santa Barbara Drive currently sits as mostly undeveloped open space adjacent to the Rancho Tesoro community near Discovery Lake. It features trails for hiking and biking, a soccer field, a dirt parking area, and fenced-off conservation areas. Brookfield Residential, the developer of the 250acre Rancho Tesoro community, dedicated the land to the city in 2021 with the condition that it be used for open space and park use. It was also graded at the time for potential development. The site is one of the last large undeveloped parcels in the city that could accommodate a community recreation facility, according to the city. However, staff said developing a facility would cost around $40 million with site preparation, utility work, construction, and environmental mitigation. If San Marcos wants to move forward with developing the park further, city officials said it will need the collaboration of a community partner. “Due to the size of the site and significant costs

anticipated to develop the remaining property, the city is exploring a private partner to help develop and activate the area in line with the dedicated use while enhancing park and recreational opportunities in the city,” said city spokesperson Faith Barrett. On Tuesday, the City Council took the first step toward a partnership by adopting a resolution that declares the availability of leasehold interests in the Rancho Tesoro parkland under the state Surplus Land Act. It was adopted via the consent calendar and was not discussed. The Surplus Land Act

requires cities to advise local housing sponsors, parks and recreation departments, and local school districts about city-owned land that has no planned municipal use. Cities can dispose of the property to one of these entities, or enter into a long-term lease or similar agreement regarding the property. In the case of Rancho Tesoro parkland, San Marcos is not considering abandoning the park use or selling the property at this time. San Marcos District 2 City Councilmember Mike Sannella, whose district includes the park, said while it’s early in the process, the

potential to create more recreational opportunities is exciting. “Really, it’s kind of underutilized right now from a parks and rec standpoint,” Sannella said of the park. “I’m excited about the possibilities that we might be able to bring something really special to the community.” Staff said the city would give priority to proposals that are consistent with the property’s zoned use for park and recreation activities. These could include public recreation uses, athletic facilities, or public leisure facilities. Under a potential part-

nership, an organization could use private funds or another investment to construct recreational amenities at the park that the city would not be able to do otherwise, at least for the foreseeable future, the staff report says. The city will issue a Notice of Availability to interested entities, and any proposal being considered would eventually go before the City Council for review. “The item approved by the City Council is the first step in the process and allows the city to begin the preliminary regulatory work required by the State of California to determine whether a long-term public-private partnership is feasible for this site. No partner has been selected, and no development proposal is currently under consideration,” Barrett said.

Officials clear homeless camp in Escondido area

Law enforcement officers cleared a large homeless encampment in the Escondido area last week, arresting five people and towing six vehicles, authorities said. The July 29 operation was conducted by deputies with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office Homeless Assistance Resource Team and officers with the Escon-

dido Police Department’s Community Enhancement Bureau. According to the Sheriff’s Office, the operation followed ongoing community complaints about unauthorized encampments and public nuisance issues. The encampment was located in both the city of Escondido and the unincorporated community of Harmony Grove. Authorities said deputies and officers had previously contacted people staying at the encampment and offered resources, including shelter, mental health services and substance abuse treatment. They also warned individuals that camping on private property was prohibited. During the operation, officers arrested five people on suspicion of illegal lodging, outstanding warrants and providing false identification. Six vehicles were also towed in response to community concerns about trash and debris associated with vehicles parked in a residential neighborhood. The Escondido Public Works Department removed multiple truckloads of trash and debris from the site, according to authorities. The Sheriff’s Office said it remains committed to balancing outreach with enforcement. — City News Service

at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

Sports San Diego to play for West title By Noah Perkins

OCEANSIDE — When San Diego Strike Force head coach Taylor Genuser thinks back to the franchise’s inaugural 1-13 season in 2019, when he served as the team’s offensive coordinator, what he remembers most isn’t the losses. It’s the empty seats. “It’s just amazing thinking about playing in Pechanga Arena in front of about 75 people,” Genuser told The Coast News on Monday, his voice still raspy after the previous night’s celebration. The contrast couldn’t have been more striking Sunday, when nearly 4,300 fans packed Frontwave Arena to watch the Strike Force earn the first home playoff victory in franchise history, a 54-47 win over the Tucson Sugar Skulls that sent San Diego to the Indoor Football League’s Western Conference Championship for the second straight season. “It’s just amazing growth from the people that have helped us start it, the people that have been here along the way and the people that are here now,” Genuser said. Genuser credited his defense with limiting Tucson quarterback Ja’Rome Johnson, the former IFL Most Valuable Player who completed 9 of 20 passes and threw an interception. “We did a good job of containing their quarterback, who’s just an unbelievable athlete,” Genuser said. “He’s like a Lamar Jackson in our league, where if nothing’s open, he can make every single player in the building miss and go score. He did do that a few times last night, but we contained him very well. I felt like we shut down the run game and didn’t let them get comfortable there.” Strike Force quarterback Nate Davis, an ageless 39, turned in another vintage performance, throwing five touchdown passes — all to receiver Jalen Sample — without committing a turnover. Next up, the Strike Force will host the Arizona Rattlers on Sunday at Frontwave Arena. The Rattlers, the Indoor Football League’s most successful franchise, defeated San Diego in both regular-season meetings this year and return to Oceanside for a rematch of last year’s controversial playoff matchup. The Strike Force won that game 49-48, and the IFL later acknowledged officials missed a pre-snap penalty on the final play that would have ended the contest. San Diego then lost to Vegas, 74-68, in the conference final.

BILLY RAY SMITH JR. played 10 seasons as a linebacker for the San Diego Chargers. Photo via Facebook

illy Ray Smith Jr.’s impact on the field is well-documented. The former Chargers linebacker, a 10-year NFL veteran who died last week, was named to the franchise’s 50th anniversary team, and he’s a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. But did you know the mere mention of Smith’s name to a sitting president could result in running with the commander in chief? More on that in a bit, but first a sincere touch of the heart for Smith and his grieving family. While Smith, a longtime Del Mar resident, was a terror between the sidelines, off it, he was the epitome of a gracious, humble and well-mannered Southern gentleman.

sports talk jay paris He treated people from all walks of life the same, which meant you were the recipient of his toothy grin and his boisterous laugh, which ricocheted off your ears as you counted your fingers after one of his bone-crushing handshakes. Smith’s vibe touched a wet-behind-the-ears sportswriter on the Chargers beat, me, when I covered his last two seasons for the longgone Oceanside Blade Citizen.

‘He’s a prototype’

M

By Noah Perkins

arvin Washington's rookie season with the New York Jets was, by most measures, forgettable. But years later, one memory from that 1989 season remains vivid: a late-season trip to Jack Murphy Stadium to face the San Diego Chargers and the player Washington had been watching since he was a kid in Texas — Billy Ray Smith. "He was Billy Ray Smith, and I was just a rookie coming from Dallas," the former defensive lineman told The Coast News. Washington went on to play 11 seasons in the NFL and won a Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos in 1998. "During the defensive plays, I wasn't playing that much, so I was watching Billy Ray Smith. And Billy Ray looked like he was cut from a mold. If you wanted to create the prototype of a linebacker, it was Billy Ray Smith. He was in shape. He was built like a Greek god. He had a thick neck." Long before Washington suited up across from Smith in the NFL, he was a

12-year-old watching Smith become a Texas football legend. Four years younger than Smith, Washington moved to Dallas in 1977, arriving just in time to watch Smith lead Plano to the Class 4A state championship. The title game against Port Neches-Groves drew 49,953 fans to Texas Stadium, a Texas high school football attendance record that still stands. "They dominated everybody," Washington recalled. "I didn't know who he was before the season, but during the football season and after the football season; he was the first Texas high school football hero that I knew. It was a different time, a different era, and Texas football was really huge back then." Washington faced Smith three times during his NFL career. Each time, he saw the same qualities that had made Smith a Texas football icon years earlier. "He was smart. He was tough. He was physical. He was consistent," Washington said. "When you think of Billy Ray Smith, you think, 'Wow, he's a prototype.'”

We were friends, but then again, everyone was Smith’s friend. Smith, a Texas native and an All-American at Arkansas, took me under his wing, I thought, because I had Southern roots as well. My mother was a proud Mississippi native, and well after Smith retired from the Chargers in 1992, we exchanged texts and placed friendly bets whenever Arkansas played Ole Miss. It was “Sooie vs. Hotty Toddy” and man, I miss those spirited interactions. But those texts in recent years were often not returned. Instead, Smith was paying the price for shining in an occupation where brain injuries are the most damning taxes extracted from players. Smith’s family made it clear he suffered from the ravages of CTE, the degenerative brain disease found posthumously in many players, including Chargers great Junior Seau. Smith was only 64, an age when he should be primed to play the enviable role of a doting grandfather as he embraced the golden years. Instead, after showing his mettle daily in his battle to survive, Smith is gone, and I want to say good-bye. When writing “Game of My Life: San Diego Chargers,” Smith was a natural to be included, and he even attended the book launch at Warwick’s.

Fouts pulling the wool over Smith’s eyes? Smith, a celebrated first-round pick of the Chargers in 1983, was returning to his UC San Diego dorm at training camp. Fouts came by in his Mercedes-Benz. “He drives up and says, ‘Hey you want to go to dinner with me and some of the guys?’ Smith said. “Man, Dan Fouts wants me to go to dinner. I couldn’t believe it.’’ You always extend an invitation to someone picking up the tab, yet Smith was unaware it was him. Later in the evening, when Smith excused himself to use the restroom, his Chargers teammates bolted. “Not only did I have to pay the bill, but without a ride I was late getting back to camp and was fined,” Smith said. Smith didn’t miss, he thought, when he did the same thing to a rookie named Seau. But he gave Seau a heads-up that when the check came, it was all his. Surprisingly, Seau never balked about coughing up the dough. “We went to this steak place with all the linebackers and let’s just say that linebackers can eat a lot of food,’’ Smith said. Including crow, which Smith didn’t realize was on the menu. “During that day in the locker room Junior had taken my American Express card out of my wallet without me knowing about it,’’ Smith said. “So he had paid the bill with my credit card and ordered flowers for all the secretaries in the Chargers building.

“I thought, this isn’t your normal, everyday rookie linebacker.” There will never be another one like Smith, and that winds us back to another Arkansas guy, President Bill Clinton, and a tale from 1993. He was staying at the Hotel del Coronado and had participated in a town hall broadcast the previous night hosted by Smith’s wife, KGTV news anchor Kimberly Hunt. Clinton was jogging on the Coronado beach with the Navy Seals the next morning, and I attended, looking snappy in my running gear. Clinton deftly worked the modest handshake line, with most asking about political issues. Clinton reached me, and as we both extended our hands, I informed him I was a sportswriter covering the Chargers, and I said those five magic words: I know Billy Ray Smith. Clinton’s grasp lingered as he sang the praises of Smith, and his father, another former NFL linebacker and Arkansas legend. “I watched his daddy play a lot of football,’’ Clinton said. The run started, and my aspiration was to run with the gentleman from Hope, Arkansas. I kept a respectful distance from the main group, but on its return lap from the Naval Air Station North Island, I was invited to join. Some 50 yards from the finish, the Navy SEALs asked for permission to pass, sir, as they sprinted to show off for Clinton. Which meant when Clinton reached the run’s conclusion, with the Associated Press photographer snapping away, it was him, not sweating it out with SEALs, but a sportswriter who knew the right guy. All because I mentioned those five magic words that etched a memory that lives on. And so does Billy Ray Smith Jr., and you can help make it so. As B.R. would always do, go be nice to somebody, go aid a charity that needs a lift, go help someone and don’t make it transactional. Smith paid a heavy price to entertain us as a player, and many got to know him through his broadcasting career. But the joy he gave to others paled in comparison to how much he enjoyed his life, which really centered on assisting those needing an encouraging word. That said, like thousands of others, I can’t help but miss him.

gap: AI & visibility

I

By Rich Henrich

f your business has experienced a slowdown this year, you’re probably looking at the usual suspects: inflation, higher labor costs, fuel prices, interest rates or consumer uncertainty. Those factors are real. But there’s another reason many businesses haven’t considered — because they can’t see it. It’s called the Visibility Gap. Just a few years ago, customers primarily found local businesses through Google Search. Today, that journey has changed dramatically. Consumers now search across Google, Google Maps, online reviews, YouTube, social media, and increasingly through AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini before they ever visit a website or make a phone call. BrightLocal recently found that 84% of consumers searched online for a local business in the last three months, and three out of four used multiple channels before making a decision. In other words, your website may still rank well, yet your business could be nearly invisible in the places customers now make buying decisions. This shift is catching many business owners off guard. HubSpot reports that traditional organic website traffic is declining as consumers increasingly ask AI platforms for recommendations instead of clicking through search results. Businesses adapting to AI visibility are seeing stronger lead generation, while those relying solely on yesterday’s SEO strategies risk falling behind. The good news? This isn’t about spending more on marketing. It’s about making sure your business can be found wherever today’s customers are searching. At Rook Digital, we call this closing the Visibility Gap — aligning your Google Business Profile, website, reviews, photography, video and AI presence so your business is consistently discovered and trusted across every major search channel. Because in today’s marketplace, the businesses that win aren’t always the best. They’re the ones customers can actually find. Rich Henrich is co-founder of Rook Digital, a trusted referral partner of The Coast News.

illions hang on Donald Trump’s every word, so I want him to hate my books. When a powerful public figure criticizes an author, the discussion shifts from the book itself to the broader ideas it presents. Readers interested in politics, religion, ethics, history or current events buy it simply to better understand the debate. Why not marketing? Publicity from Trump’s maligning my writing would far exceed results of any advertising campaign. Folks otherwise overlooking me would naturally be

Odd Files Not Great, Bob

David Cifaldi, 32, was hiking Granite Mountain in Montana on July 20 when he tripped over a rock and impaled himself with one of his hiking poles — and managed to hike the 10 miles back with the pole through his side, the New York Times reported. Cifaldi, an ER nurse, assessed his wounds and determined that because there was no blood and that he could take deep breaths, he was in good enough shape to get himself to safety. One friend radioed ahead for help and walked ahead to warn other hikers — especially those with children — about the “gnarly” sight. The other friend walked behind him to watch for further signs of injury. The trek took about six and a half hours, and Cifaldi was in good enough spirits to joke around with his friends. They “started making shish kebab jokes,” Cifaldi said. “By the end, they were calling me ‘Bob’ on the way out.” He was cared for in Billings, at the very hospital where he works. Doctors there successfully removed the pole, but additional surgery could still be in Cifaldi’s future. “I’m not an amateur hiker,” he said, adding that this was “just a freak accident.” [The New York Times, 7/27/26]

ask mr. marketing rob weinberg curious about what generated such strong reactions and check me out. Many of them would buy my scribbles, which is (obviously) my objective. Meta recently learned how this strategy works by suing former employee Sarah Wynn-Williams over her book “Careless People.” Her sales are currently going recovering after his wife and fellow performer accidentally shot him in the neck with an arrow from a crossbow during a show, the Associated Press reported. Ana Daza Tavera, 42, and Edwin Cuervo Rangel, 38, were doing their regular sharpshooting act at a county fair in Middletown, New York, on July 24, when the accident occurred. The circus was canceled for the night, and Cuervo Rangel was airlifted to a hospital, where the arrow was removed and the wound site stitched up. Ringmaster Benjamin Jackson said that there was “no blood leaking out. There was a little around the hole where the arrow went in, kind of like getting your ear pierced,” he said. The circus resumed its regular schedule, but the sharpshooting act is on hold while Cuervo Rangel makes a full recovery. [AP, 7/27/26]

Facing the loss of federal grants for a program that studies marmots, a group of researchers from the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory has turned to an unusual source for financial support: an OnlyFans page called OnlyMarms, UPI reported on July 28. Professor Daniel Blumstein, the head of the program, says they will also continue to seek traditional funding sources. “[The OnlyMarms page is] going to be G-rated, and we’re not going to sexualize this,” Blumstein said. “We’re just going to have fun with sharing.” MasPain in the Neck ters student Emily Renkey A circus performer is runs the page. “Sometimes

through the ceiling. The approach has also proven invaluable for others. Salman Rushdie (“Satanic Verses”) was condemned to death in 1989 by Iran’s Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. That transformed Rushdie’s novel into an international symbol of free expression as sales surged worldwide. Or there was “The Coming Insurrection,” which Fox News host Glenn Beck called “quite possibly the most evil thing I’ve ever read.” His criticism propelled the book up Amazon’s bestseller rankings almost overnight. This is known as the Streisand effect, after Bar-

bra Streisand’s efforts to remove a photo of her Malibu mansion from the internet, only to make it the mostviewed house online. The lesson: Powerful people trying to make something disappear make it impossible to ignore. Call it the “forbidden fruit” effect. Publicly denouncing a book as dangerous, offensive or misleading will make many people curious about what prompted such a strong reaction. Readers who never noticed the title suddenly want to read it. So I’m asking the president to please condemn my latest book. I yearn for the

free news coverage, recognize readers will be curious or express support for my right to free speech, and anticipate sales would increase substantially. True, such public criticism might damage my reputation, but I’m willing to take the chance. Still, Trump may not care about my ideas, so I’m now drafting a chapter about the pope’s marketing of the church. If I do it the right way, I can piss him off. That, right there, should be good for a couple of million book sales. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

of California was rescued by the crew of a container ship after spending a month stranded at sea. The Guardian reported that the 39-year-old man set sail from the Catalina Islands in California on June 7 with the intention of completing his first solo trip across the Pacific Ocean; but a few weeks into the journey, his mast broke, his phone died and he ran out of gas trying to use the boat’s motor to steer. “I was literally like a sitting duck, just getting taken south by the current going way off course,” he said. After a brief period of despair, he managed to cobble together some repairs using PVC pipes and kayak paddles, collected drinking water from a plastic bag that collected condensation, and ate fish and squid that jumped into his boat. Eventually, his boat drifted into a shipping lane between California and Hawaii, where he was rescued by the crew of a container ship. [The Guardian, 7/27/2026]

Nature Gone Wild

On July 24, WJTV reported that a six-foot-iguana made a break for it inside a Memphis FedEx, after a man opened a package that contained the large lizard. In a video of the incident, a man is seen opening a large box and the iguana, named Titan, jumps out. “He was shipped overnight, and I expected him to be stiff for a minute like most reptiles after shipping. Nope. Titan came out ready for all the smoke,” owner Roderick Duncan said. Duncan and FedEx employees eventually captured Titan, who ran around the store. Appreciative of the assistance from the FedEx employees, Duncan said, “They handled it like champs.” [WJTV, 7/24/26] • In Douglas County, Colorado, sheriff’s deputies responded to a call about a break-in, only to discover the culprits weren’t of the human variety: Two cubs had found their way into the home through an open window, UPI reported on July 27. After exploring the home, the bears settled on a dinner of cat food. Colorado Parks and Wildlife responded and assisted deputies in directing the bears out of the home and into the woods. [UPI, 7/27/26] • Meanwhile, over in Gold Hill, Colorado, a bear broke into an unlocked car overnight and, unable to get out, laid on the horn. All night. KOSI reported on July 22 that when the owner came upon his car the next morning, he saw the driver’s side airbag had been deployed and the interior ransacked. Afraid to get too close, he devised a plan, no doubt inspired by parents of children with loose teeth: He tied a rope around the car door handle, walked a safe distance away ... and yanked. The door flew open and the bear ambled out and into the woods. [KOSI, 7/22/26]

An Iowa woman was arrested on July 24 for driving a riding lawn mower in a Casey’s convenience store parking lot outside Iowa City, The Smoking Gun reported. The witness indicated that the driver, Michelle Hudson, 36, seemed to be intoxicated. A breath test showed she was under the legal limit, but the police report said Hudson did not perform well on the field sobriety test and “showed measurable signs of impairment.” Hudson’s driver’s license was suspended after a 2022 conviction for driving her SUV while under the influence of meth. After the lawn mower incident, she was arrested for operating under the influence and driving while barred. She is being held in the county jail without bond while she waits for her court appearance.

ADHD Q&A

Does ADHD look different in men and women?

for your health wellness from the soul sita severson

D

id you know that one of the quickest ways out of a stressful state of being is to laugh? Most of us know that stress changes the mind/body connection, and this is partly due to the impact stress has on the breath. When stressed, we begin to breathe shallow and high in the chest, or we may even hold the breath in a stressful situation. The shallow or held breath, sends signals to the brain

and body that something is wrong. Here's what's funny: When we laugh, we naturally go into diaphragmatic breathing, which, according to physiologist William Fry, actually gives you a bit of a workout. When you laugh, the diaphragm contracts repeatedly, the heart rate and breathing rate climb, and your circulation gets an actual workout. While laughter might hype you up initially, relaxation comes after. Once laughter stops, heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension drop below where they started. Fry goes so far as to say that laughter is "internal jogging." This is what makes laughter such a powerful form of breathwork. It's the arousal and release cy-

cle that lands you in a relaxation response, a term coined by Herbert Benson. The deep exhales stimulate the vagus nerve, signaling the body to let go. The silly truth is that you don't have to be laughing at a joke. You can simulate laughter and get the same benefits, and you might even feel a bit happi-

er too. As long as your diaphragmatic pattern kicks in, the rest will follow. Find ways to build laughter into your daily self-care. You may find a good laugh with friends, I think that's the best kind, but it's not necessary. Put on your favorite comedy or think of funny stories from your life.

Red Cross: Blood supplies fall to dangerous levels By City News Service

REGION — The American Red Cross has declared a national blood crisis for just the second time in its history and asked San Diego-area donors to act immediately. According to the organization, blood donations have fallen to a four-year summer low, “worsening this season's emergency blood shortage.”

All blood types are needed, but the situation is especially dire for type O blood as the Red Cross is now limiting distributions of these blood products to hospitals. The supply of type O positive blood has now dropped below a one-day supply, according to a statement from the Red Cross. San Diegans can help end the crisis and stabilize

the blood supply by booking an appointment to give blood by using the Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 800-RED CROSS (7332767). People who donate during the month of August will receive a $20 Amazon gift card. “This summer has brought a number of unique

challenges that have placed additional strain on our blood supply, creating growing concerns for hospitals and the patients who rely on lifesaving transfusions,'' said Paul Sullivan, senior vice president of donor services for the Red Cross. “If just three more donors gave at each blood drive this summer, we could help the blood supply re-

bound and ensure hospitals have the blood products they need throughout the remainder of the season.'' Dozens of blood drive opportunities will take place throughout the county over the next several weeks at churches, libraries, hotels, malls and more. Find one near you at: redcrossblood.org

Grants advance women's brain health By City News Service

REGION — Two major grants are headed to UC San Diego researchers as part of a more than $50 million investment in women's brain health by Wellcome Leap CARE and other organizations. According to the university, the awards will be granted over three years

to investigate how menopause and hormone therapy might shape dementia risk in women and develop new tools for earlier detection of Alzheimer's disease. “Women are at greater risk for Alzheimer's disease, but we still do not understand why,” said Judy Pa, professor of neurosciences at UCSD School of Medicine and director of the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study. “These projects will help us better characterize what happens in the brain and body during midlife

and menopause, and how those changes relate to later dementia risk. That knowledge is essential if we want to develop more precise, effective strategies for prevention and treatment.” The first award, from Wellcome Leap CARE, will fund two projects led by Pa and Iris Broce-Diaz, assistant professor of neurosciences at UCSD School of Medicine. The second award, granted anonymously, will fund a new collaboration between UCSD, UC San Francisco and UC Santa Barbara.

arah writes: I was diagnosed later in life, and it made me wonder: Does ADHD really show up differently in men and women?" It is a question I hear often, especially from women who receive a diagnosis in adulthood and suddenly begin to reinterpret decades of their lives through a different lens. For a long time, our understanding of ADHD was shaped by who was being noticed. The child who could not stay seated. The student interrupting the class. The boy whose behavior dema nded at t ent ion . WAHLERT Those presentations absolutely exist, but they were never the whole picture. That narrow picture also influenced how ADHD was identified. Hyperactivity is often easier to observe than inattention, emotional overwhelm, time blindness, or the quiet struggle of someone who appears capable while working twice as hard to keep up. Many girls are trained, by schools, families, peers, and media, to be organized, agreeable, emotionally composed, and aware of how they are perceived. When their ADHD makes those expectations difficult, they often compensate through fear of failure, shame, perfectionism, and relentless effort. They may also become highly aware of rejection, reading criticism or disappointment very intensely and carrying it for far longer than others realize. Emotional regulation can be another hidden struggle, with feelings rising quickly and becoming difficult to settle, even when the person looks calm on the outside. From the outside, they may look responsible and high-functioning. On the inside, they may feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and constantly worried that they are falling short. Sometimes the difference becomes most obvious at the end of the day: when other people go home at 5pm, they are only then catching up to the basics, trying to finish the tasks, TURN TO ADHD ON 17

Sharp helps keep athletes healthy at Super Girl

The Super Girl Surf Festival, taking place Aug. 21-23 at the Oceanside Pier, celebrates women in sports, music and culture. For 20 years, the festival has created opportunities for young women to participate in activities where they have traditionally been underrepresented.

FALLBROOK — County leaders and affordable housing developers celebrated the opening of a new affordable senior housing community and the groundbreaking of another nearby senior development, both located within minutes of each other in the “friendly village.” Located at 528 E. Alvarado Street, Mirasol Meadows is a 53-unit apartment community for seniors earning between 30% and 50% of the area median income. According to the California Housing Partnership, San Diego County residents must earn $48 an hour — about 2.8 times the state minimum wage — to afford median rental prices. Senior homelessness in the county also increased about 5% over the past year. Supervisor Jim Desmond said the Fallbrook senior homes are “desperately needed.” “This is what it looks like when we stop talking about the housing crisis and start solving it,” Desmond said. The development includes 49 one-bedroom units and four two-bedroom units. Six apartments are reserved for individuals with serious mental illnesses who have experienced homelessness. Amenities include air conditioning, private balconies, energy-efficient appliances and shared community spaces. Walking paths also connect residents to shops, cafes and restaurants along nearby Main Avenue. According to developer San Diego Community Housing Corp., the three-story community was designed to help residents age in place. “I feel like I’m at home already,” said Anthony, 68, one of the first Mirasol Meadows residents, who

moved in with his dog, Jet. A few months ago, Anthony feared he and Jet would end up back on the streets after learning the lease on his previous residence was ending, and his roommates planned to move away. Soon afterward, he learned he had been selected to live at Mirasol Meadows. National Community Renaissance of California, or National CORE, will manage the property. Hope Through Housing Foundation, the Center for Senior

Wellbeing, the Fallbrook Food Pantry and the County of San Diego’s Behavioral Health Services Department will provide on-site educational programs and service coordination for residents. SDCHC and National CORE also partnered to develop Brookview Senior Villas, a three-story community at 230 W. Fig St. for adults 62 and older. The project will include 61 apartments, consisting of 56 one-bedroom units, four two-bedroom units and one manager’s unit. SDCHC Vice President John Wurster said Brookview Senior Villas will “give respite to those who are struggling” in North County. Thirty apartments will be reserved for extremely low-income households earning at or below 20% and 30% of the area median income. Another 12 units will be reserved for individuals diagnosed with mental illness who have experienced homelessness and are referred through the county’s No Place Like Home program. “Homelessness might be trending downward, but we still have a long way to go in making San Diego more affordable for our seniors,” said National CORE Vice President John Seymour. Brookview Senior Villas is under construction, but officials held a groundbreaking ceremony July 30 alongside the ribbon-cutting for Mirasol Meadows. Both developments were financed through a public-private partnership that included tax equity and construction financing from U.S. Bancorp Impact Finance.

Milton’s honors past, eyes future taste of wine & food

MILTON’S MOST popular sandwich, with pastrami piled high on fresh house-made rye bread. Photo by Rico Cassoni

flavorful meat arrived piled high on thick slices of freshly baked rye. We sampled two other favorites. The corned beef was equally tender and generously stacked, while the hot Italian roast beef arrived on grilled bread with melted cheese and peppers, accompanied by au jus. All three sandwiches delivered the abundance and comfort expected from a classic Jewish deli. Manager Eddie then brought us a breakfast favorite: three homemade cheese blintzes filled with creamy farmer’s cheese and served with sour cream, applesauce, and blueberry and cherry toppings. At any proper Jewish deli, one must save room for dessert. Our server, Karen

Goldstein, insisted upon Milton’s most popular selection. The towering 6-inch, triple-layer carrot cake with cream cheese frosting provided an appropriately indulgent conclusion. Ownership may have changed, but Milton’s has not abandoned what made it special. Iconic Eateries understands that taking a beloved institution forward begins with respecting the recipes, employees and relationships that brought it this far. The result is a refreshed Milton’s that still feels reassuringly like Milton’s. Check out miltonsdeli.com for menus and more.

ince 1995, Milton’s Delicatessen, Grill & Bakery has been a gathering place where generations of San Diegans celebrate milestones and everyday meals over authentic Jewish deli favorites. Founded by childhood friends and business partners Barry Robbins and Dave Levy, Milton’s became a local institution built on generous portions, fresh-baked breads, and warm hospitality. In 2026, Milton’s entered a new chapter when it was acquired by Iconic Eateries, led by restaurateur Sal Ercolano and managing partner Gil Frank. Ercolano has worked in the culinary industry for more than five decades, while Frank grew up in hospitality through his family’s involvement with Travelodge franchises. Drawing upon his Jewish heritage, Frank was especially excited to continue Milton’s legacy while taking the restaurant to the next level through subtle changes. Frank and Ercolano retained most of the staff, allowing longtime guests to continue seeing the familiar faces who have served them over the years. Employees also received updated uniforms designed to better reflect the restaurant’s Jewish deli identity. One significant change is a new meat purveyor that, according to Frank, also supplies Los Angeles’ renowned Langer’s Delicatessen and New York’s legendary Katz’s Delicatessen. Milton’s finishes its meats in-house using proprietary seasonings and cooking techniques. The restaurant has doubled its fish and bakery selections and introduced a Sephardic menu with five appetizers and five main courses. The additions broaden Milton’s representation of Jewish cuisine without replacing the Ashkenazi deli classics upon which its reputation was built. Frank was particularly enthusiastic about Chicago Bros deep-dish pizza, available for dine-in and takeout Friday through Sunday. Made with a specially sourced cheese, Frank believes the pizza rivals the celebrated deep-dish pies of downtown Chicago. Customer response has been so strong that Iconic Eateries hopes to eventually introduce Chicago Bros nationally at the retail level. My good friend Jeff Giglio, who joins me monthly as part of our Italian Stallions lunch, accompanied me to experience the changes. After hearing Frank describe Milton’s upgraded pastrami, choosing its most popular sandwich was easy. Tender,

n late summer of 1968, my maternal grandmother, Bertha Fritsch, would visit our small lakefront cottage on Lake Michigan to pick raspberries. Dressed in her floral housedress (older German ladies did not wear shorts), she trekked into the large empty field behind our house to pick through the spiky vines for the perfect wild berries. She returned to the house with a few cuts and mosquito bites, happily concluding, “Now we make jam!” The raspberries were then carried carefully into the kitchen, washed ever so briefly and dried on a clean tea towel. There was no time to waste, since the berries would lose their flavor and freshness in a few hours. At that time, I was in high school, and I was thinking more about the boys on the beach rather than cooking jam. But looking back, I now see that the culinary heritage she brought from Germany in the 1920s

Recipe for berry conserve

move with me if I moved. While shopping at Anderson’s La Costa Nursery in Encinitas, I was pleased to work with Julie Werts, one of the horticulture staff, who pointed out that blueberries actually grow best in containers. “The soil here in Southern California is not acid enough to produce good berries,” she said. “So, we amend our container soil with lime-free soil, and Since I live in a rental add fertilizer every eight property, my notion was to weeks. “It is a little late to start seek out a berry that could

Growing your own berries

Now, the question is what to do with your fresh fruit? A conserve is made with whole fruit, as for jam, but the fruit is steeped in sugar before cooking, only briefly, so the final set is softer with more intact fruit. This recipe comes from a lovely English cookbook, “The Jam Maker’s Garden,” by Holly Farrell. She says: “Growing and preserving should complement each other — two cycles perfectly in sync. That which we grow but cannot eat gets preserved to be eaten later when the plant is no longer cropping; we avoid waste and extend the harvest.” This recipe works with all kinds of berries — blueberries, raspberries and blackberries.

blueberries, but if you buy them now, they will stay dormant until spring and you will have a new crop. A few of the berries we have on hand are still producing their last harvest.” According to garden manager Steven Froess: “My favorites are the Jewel and Misty varieties, but any Southern variety with a low chill factor will work.” INGREDIENTS Find Steven and the • 1 pound blueberries, other horticultural staff at stalk removed Anderson’s La Costa Nurs• 1 pound granulated ery, 400 La Costa Avenue, sugar

• 1 lemon • Pinch of fine sea salt METHOD 1. Put the fruit in a large ceramic or glass bowl, then add 8 ounces of the sugar, the lemon juice and salt. Stir everything together well. 2. Cover and leave to stand at room temperature overnight. Stir the mixture a number of times. 3. Place the contents of the bowl into a quart saucepan and warm over low heat, stirring constantly. 4. Once the mixture is warm, add the rest of the sugar and keep stirring until it is all dissolved. 5. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil, then boil rapidly until it reaches the setting point (or 221 degrees in sugar thermometer). 6. Take the pan off the heat and let stand for five minutes before placing in jars. 7. The conserve will last two weeks in refrigerator or process according to Ball Jar recommendations.

FALLBROOK — Authorities have identified a man who died after he was run over by a car while lying in a parking lot outside of Stepping Stone Resources, an adult special needs facility in Fallbrook. Ryan Radabaugh, 53, of Oceanside, was lying in the parking lot outside of the building at 842 South Main Avenue when he was run over by a car around 9 a.m. on July 23. The 23-year-old driver said he did not see Radabaugh lying there, according to the California Highway Patrol. The car was traveling around 5 mph at the time. Radabaugh was transported to the hospital but later died from his injuries. The circumstances of the crash are currently under investigation, according to CHP. However, records from the California Department of Social Services show that the agency received a complaint about a different client lying in the Stepping Stone parking lot in July of last year, resulting in an investigation. The July 2025 complaint from a member of the public claimed that staff did not provide adequate support to a client in their care, after the individual saw a client lying in the parking lot with no apparent supervision.

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

San Antonio announces bid for District 4 seat By Jordan P. Ingram

ENCINITAS — Councilmember Marco San Antonio has officially tossed his cowboy hat into the ring for a full term on the Encinitas City Council, announcing Thursday that he will seek election to represent District 4. San Antonio, owner of One Day Signs in downtown Encinitas, was appointed to the City Council in 2024 after serving on the Olivenhain Municipal Water District board. The Olivenhain resident is the second candidate to enter the District 4 race and will face landscape designer and Urban For-

est Advisory Commission member Brad Lefkowits in the Nov. 3 election. The District 4 contest is one of three Encinitas City Council races on the ballot this fall. Mayor Bruce Ehlers is seeking a second term and faces San Dieguito SAN ANTONIO Union High School District Trustee Rimga Viskanta, while District 3 candidates include North County Food Policy Council Chair Arielle Golden and former Olivenhain Municipal Wa-

ter District President Ed Sprague. In announcing his campaign, San Antonio said he will run as an independent candidate, pledging not to accept endorsements or financial contributions from political parties. He said his campaign will focus on public safety, wildfire preparedness, infrastructure investment and local control. “I am running as a true independent candidate because my only obligation is to the people of Encinitas,” San Antonio said in a statement. “To ensure my voice remains entirely uncompromised, I will not accept a

single dollar or endorsement from any political party. “Encinitas raised me, and it’s where my wife and I are raising our two kids. My highest priority is keeping our city safe, fiscally responsible, and a place where families want to raise their children for generations to come. I stand against state control, and I will continue to protect our tax dollars by prioritizing our long-overdue local infrastructure.” The first Filipino American to serve on the Encinitas City Council, San Antonio said he hopes to continue representing District 4, which includes Ol-

that government decisions are being made on their merits free from conflicts of interest. The allegations in Ms. Barnes’ letters are serious and, if true, troubling. At the same time, the City has neither the legal authority to enforce nor the resources to investigate them,” the city said in its letter. The city’s letter includes records showing that Guiltinian served as a buying agent for Arabo in March 2024 when he purchased a home in Rancho Santa Fe. The city also notes that Arabo and Guiltinian have both contributed to Bonta’s campaign for California Attorney General, and that after these contributions, Bonta wrote a letter to the city of Del Mar warning that it could face penalties if it did not make a clear determination about the Seaside Ridge project. According to campaign finance records, Guiltinian contributed a total of $18,200 to Bonta in 2024, and Arabo contributed $18,200 to Bonta between 2023 and 2024. Bonta sent his letter to Del Mar in December of 2025. Del Mar leaders have been negotiating with the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which oversees the Del Mar Fairgrounds, since 2024 in hopes of reaching an agreement to develop affordable housing on their property. The city is counting on these units to meet its affordable housing quotas within its Housing Element. If the city does not meet state-imposed deadlines for an agreement with the Fairgrounds, it will be forced to rezone other contingency sites for housing, including the North Bluff property where landowner Carol Lazier has proposed the 259-unit Seaside Ridge project. Relationships between the city and Fairgrounds board have at times been rocky since they adopted a housing negotiation agreement in 2024. The Fairgrounds board paused the agreement in early 2025, and the board has discussed several times whether to pause it again while also expressing doubt about being able to agree on a site in

accordance with the city’s deadlines. Simultaneously, Del Mar has also been in a legal battle with the developers of Seaside Ridge, who sued the city in 2024 after it repeatedly found the project application incomplete. Following a warning letter from the state Attorney General’s Office, the City Council formally denied the project in May. Seaside Ridge representatives argue that the city is required to process the project under the builder’s remedy law, which allows projects with affordable units to bypass zoning requirements if the city in which they are proposed lacks a certified Housing Element. The city disagrees. While battling the city in court, Seaside Ridge representatives have also attended multiple 22nd DAA board meetings to urge the board to drop their housing negotiation agreement with Del Mar, arguing that the city can meet its affordable housing mandates by approving Seaside Ridge. The 22nd DAA board has no authority over the Seaside Ridge project or its approval. However, Del Mar is relying on the Fairgrounds board to allow affordable housing on its property, and if agreement does not materialize by state-imposed deadlines, the city will have to rezone the proposed Seaside Ridge project site for housing, making it easier for the project to move forward. “Simply put, Ms. Lazier’s Seaside Ridge Project

stands to benefit if affordable housing is not timely developed at the Fairgrounds,” the city stated in its letter to the authorities. The city’s letter noted that Arabo originally voted in favor of the housing negotiation agreement between the Fairgrounds and Del Mar in February 2024, but he has since repeatedly advocated for the board to pause the ENRA with the city due to concerns about the negotiating process and

able housing. Arabo also mentioned Bonta’s warning to the city at a 22nd DAA board meeting in December, stating that the Fairgrounds should be wary of the potential risks of working with the city while it was under active scrutiny from the state Attorney General’s Office. Barnes wrote in her July letter to the city that the connections she outlined could be benign, but the public deserves to know

The public is entitled to have confidence and trust in its public institutions and officials. The allegations in Ms. Barnes’ letters are serious and, if true, troubling.” City of Del Mar Letter to DA’s Office, U.S. Attorney’s Office

impacts of housing on Fairgrounds operations. Arabo has also publicly praised the Seaside Ridge project at Fairgrounds board meetings and questioned why the city of Del Mar has not approved the proposed bluff-top development. At a 22nd DAA board meeting in September 2025, Arabo requested that the city provide a presentation to the Fairgrounds board about Seaside Ridge and why the project had not been approved, sharing concerns that the city may not be pursuing all of the available options for afford-

if public officials and project representatives have had undisclosed communications about the project that occurred outside of usual channels. “Individually, none of these facts necessarily suggest improper conduct. Political contributions are lawful. Real estate transactions are commonplace. Public officials and private citizens frequently participate in civic discussions,” Barnes said. “However, when viewed collectively, these facts raise legitimate questions that deserve transparent answers.” Arabo submitted a let-

ivenhain, Village Park and portions of New Encinitas. A former reserve firefighter, he said his public safety background has shaped his priorities in office. San Antonio highlighted several accomplishments during his term, including expanding staff and equipment at Fire Station 6, approving funding for two dedicated sheriff’s traffic deputies, improving pedestrian safety near Park Dale Lane schools, advancing wildfire evacuation planning and supporting contracts for homeless outreach services.

nounced his candidacy earlier this year, said his campaign will emphasize environmental stewardship, responsible growth, fiscal responsibility and collaboration at City Hall. San Antonio said he hopes voters will judge his campaign on his record and his vision for the city’s future. “I believe our city’s best days are ahead, and I am ready to earn the trust of every resident by continuing to bring steady leadership, common sense, and an unwavering commitment to making Encinitas the very best it can be.”

ter to the City Council on Friday, stating that he has no personal, financial, or business interest in Seaside Ridge. The 22nd DAA board member said he did not know Guiltinian was affiliated with Seaside Ridge when he served as his agent for the real estate transaction, and that they have had no further real estate dealings. Arabo also declined ever having direct or indirect communications about the Seaside Ridge project with Guiltinian or Bonta, and said the city’s letter is asking readers to infer wrongdoing from “unrelated lawful events.” He said there is no evidence that he received any benefit, entered into any improper agreement, or allowed his independent judgment to be influenced related to Seaside Ridge. “Before taking the extraordinary step of referring a Governor-appointed public official to criminal authorities, I respectfully ask the Council to consider the complete factual record,” he wrote. “Whether Seaside Ridge is ultimately approved or denied has never been my concern because I have no personal, financial, or business interest in that project. My concern has always been protecting the Del Mar Fairgrounds and ensuring that decisions involving state property are made in the best interests of the people of California.” Arabo also said he is willing to cooperate with a fair and impartial investigation, and is confident that a review will confirm he acted “independently, transparently, lawfully, and solely in furtherance of my fiduciary responsibilities as a Governor-appointed member of the 22nd District Agricultural Association board.” Seaside Ridge representatives also submitted a comment to the city, calling the investigative referral “outrageous” and accusing the city of using public resources to threaten the project and state officials. “It appears evident the City’s main interest is not compliance with the law but in attacking the reputation of individuals and public officials seeking to enforce the City’s obligations to comply with State housing laws. We are truly

disappointed to see public resources misused in this way in an attempt to prevent legally-mandated housing,” said Brooke Miller, an attorney with law firm Sheppard Mullin. Guiltinian and the California Attorney General’s Office did not respond to requests for comment from The Coast News. At Monday’s meeting, one public commenter, Shane Harris, said it’s very unusual for a city to elevate a resident’s request like this. Harris, a local civil rights activist, also said the state Attorney General’s office has been communicating with various cities, not just Del Mar, to ensure they are following affordable housing laws. “This reads much more like a political stunt than it does for accountability,” Harris said. “What is the basis of requesting an investigation, and how common is it that a city would go after a sitting attorney general?” The Del Mar City Council approved the item without any discussion on Monday. City Manager Ashley Jones said after the meeting that the resident’s letter itself was unique and that the city responded appropriately. “This isn’t something the city independently came up with. This is something that was brought to the city,” Jones said. She also said the council’s action should have no bearing on ongoing discussions about affordable housing with the Fairgrounds. In June, following studies of six potential locations for housing on the property, the Fairgrounds board said they would like to continue studying the Surf & Turf RV Park site, which falls within the city of San Diego boundaries. In order for these units to be counted toward Del Mar’s affordable housing quota, San Diego would need to annex the land to Del Mar. City Manager Ashley Jones said they have begun discussions with San Diego officials about this possibility. “San Diego right now is not in a position to pursue housing on that site. We are,” Jones said. “Our goal is to work with the city of San Diego to take action related to annexation to be able to do that.”

EMERY

CONTINUED FROM FRONT

charitable work and standing in the community. But Kearney said the evidence presented to the court painted a different picture. He found Sengendo’s actions surrounding the collision and unresolved factual disputes incompatible with diversion, instead setting the case for trial. “I think when I look at whether or not we can treat, restore and rehabilitate your client, we don’t even know what we’re trying to fix,” Kearney said. “We don’t know what caused his behavior afterwards. I find that there is no suitable way to address those issues other than having incarceration or the threat thereof.” Sengendo spoke in court Friday for the first time during the legal proceedings, describing a roughly hourlong conversation with John and Bridget Chalekian and apologizing directly to Emery’s parents. “They’re a wonderful family and I’m very, very sorry this happened,” Sengendo said. “For the rest of our lives we all have to live with this and I’m sorry.” Temple said Sengendo “was in shock” following the collision and “did what most people would do,” adding that Sengendo had been blinded by the glare of the setting sun, preventing him from seeing the traffic signal turn red. Kearney seemed unconvinced, noting court records indicate the light had been red for more than six

seconds. “That’s a long time,” he said. The judge added that because the Xterra struck another vehicle stopped at the light before entering the intersection, other drivers had been able to see the signal despite the glare. Kearney also questioned why a driver would “barrel forward” if uncertain about roadway conditions because of limited visibility. Temple also defended Sengendo’s actions immediately after the collision, arguing that after the Xterra came to rest and Sengendo exited the vehicle, bystanders had already called 911 and were assisting Emery and the friend who had been walking with her. According to Temple, one of Sengendo’s first calls was to a lawyer, but said it was “for moral support” because the attorney was also a friend, and that Sengendo had been cooperative with law enforcement throughout the investigation. Kearney said surveillance footage showed the vehicle’s brake lights briefly engaged before it struck a car stopped at the red light. After that, he said, the brake lights did not illuminate again while the vehicle dragged Emery’s body underneath it. The judge added that an adult at the scene “made the right choice” by attending to a child witness who was in shock rather than Emery immediately after the collision. However, Kearney

pointed out that Sengendo did not check on the two children or the driver of the other vehicle he struck. “He didn’t check on any of those people and he did not call 911,” Kearney said, “which I think shows a level of callousness and lack of empathy that actually surprises this court.” The judge said his decision to deny diversion and proceed to trial was based on his interpretation of the “clear meaning of what the legislature was intending.” Kearney said the “difficult facts for the defendant” shaped his decision and that, despite reading the “heart wrenching letters” submitted by the Chalekian family and their friends, he could not consider them because of how the law is written. “I don’t think your client’s suitable [for a diversion program], and it’s based on the level of behavior that occurred afterward and during,” Kearney said. “Never even hitting the brakes when he’s running over this poor child, never checking on the other driver he hit, never checking on anybody. “Giving the police good information, calling his attorney, all of that indicates a person who is not willing to accept responsibility.”

Family responds

The Chalekian family prepared remarks for the court but did not deliver them after Kearney said victim impact statements could prejudice a prospective trial jury. Bridget Chalekian told

reporters afterward that the ruling was “unexpected.” “I really appreciated everything the judge had to say,” she said. “It felt very validating and these are things that we’ve known this whole time and it’s devastating to feel this.” Asked about the meeting with Sengendo, John Chalekian said he would like to see action accompany the apology. “I don’t think he feels the depth of what he should feel sorry for,” John said. “I really needed that apology from him,” Bridget said. “And could have used it many months ago.” Emery’s parents brought several reminders of their daughter to court. John wore a balletic angel necklace with a stone he made using part of her ashes, along with several fresh tattoos in her honor. Bridget carried a butterfly purse she called her “Emery purse.” “We’re just trying to honor our daughter,” John said. As the case heads toward trial, the Chalekians said they are prepared to continue. “This has been grueling, but I’ll tell you, we’ve already gone through the worst thing,” John said. “Somebody killed our child. My wife and I pushed our child into a furnace to have her cremated. I can go to trial.” “To have it prolonged is obviously disappointing,” Bridget said, “but I definitely think that we’re leaving [court] feeling better than we have in the past.”

Encinitas surfer claims U.S. Open By Cameron Adams

ENCINITAS — For the second year in a row, an Encinitas surfer emerged from the water at the U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, triumphantly hoisted onto the shoulders of supporters. On Aug. 2, Jake Marshall, 27, celebrated on the same stretch of sand where Levi Slawson was carried after his victory last year. “I can’t believe it,” Marshall said. “Coming in and having both my brothers on the beach is a dream come true.” The win marked a long-awaited breakthrough for Marshall. Despite competing at the sport's highest levels for years, he had never won a World Surf League event. He previously finished runner-up at the U.S.

Open in 2021 and placed fifth in 2023. “I just kept grinding and kept trying,” Marshall said. “I’ve come up so many times, and I just kept putting my head down and kept going. Slawson's title defense ended in the Round of 32 with a loss to Marshall. In the final, Marshall defeated Kanoa Igarashi, who won a silver medal for Japan at the Tokyo Olympics and captured U.S. Open titles in 2017 and 2018. Igarashi took the early lead with a 7.40 ride, but Marshall answered with an 8-point wave and held the advantage. Marshall joins Slawson and Rob Machado as U.S. Open champions from Encinitas.

In loving memory of

Doug K. Fiske October 25, 1943May 18, 2026

Doug K. Fiske, a beloved waterman, writer, editor, art director, mentor, and fixture of the Encinitas community, passed away on May 18, 2026, in Oceanside, California. He was 82 years old. Born on October 25, 1943, in the Bronx, Doug moved to Long Island as

a boy. After graduating from Gettysburg College, he taught elementary school in Florida and then trekked to Southern California to visit his Marine Corps brother Ken. The charm of the Leucadia neighborhood and North County’s surf breaks — including Beacon Beach — captured Doug’s heart, and he settled in Encinitas for the next half century. On Long Island, in Florida, and in California, Doug was a man of the ocean. An avid surfer and swimmer, his love of the water shaped his career as much as his leisure: he made surf films and wrote about the sport he loved. He served as an editor at Surfing magazine, art director at Baseball Today, and editor at Emergency magazine, before going on to work

at the Gemological Institute of America and teach magazine production courses at San Diego State University. In 2016, Doug self-published a historical novel, Early’s Idaho, fulfilling a lifelong passion for American history and storytelling. Out of the water, Doug was a studious and outspoken participant in local politics. He regularly attended civic meetings and wrote on political issues affecting his community, voicing his gentlemanly opinions on-line and in-person. Doug is survived by three siblings and many dear friends, who will remember him as a passionate, principled, and original voice — equally at home riding big waves, teaching magazine production, discussing music, or eloquently expressing himself at city hall.

CONSTRUCTION RELATED to the Leucadia Streetscape project continues on July 30 along North Coast Highway 101 in Leucadia, where business owners say prolonged work has disrupted customer access and day-to-day operations. Pictured are orange barricades near the entrance to Sip-N-Sea Cafe, right, Leucadia Cyclery owner Jeff Schade at his shop, center, and construction equipment parked along the corridor.

are permitted. Most business owners said they also want clearer communication from the city about the project’s timeline and how construction will continue to affect their businesses. Specifically, Harth said he would like more detailed information about the longterm benefits of the drainage improvements. Harth, who supports the drainage upgrades, said his hotel has flooded during past storms, with as much as 8 to 10 inches of water entering a ground-floor room. Georgees said a city representative told him last summer that crews would begin trenching and removing asphalt in front of his shop in November 2025.

Nearly a year later, he said, that work has still not begun. “I’m being told that they’re going to board up my building, and I don’t know what that’s going to look like either,” Georgees said. Georgees said he also remains uncertain how customers will access his business once construction reaches his storefront, since patrons order through a walk-up window at the front of the shop. Nutter said the city plans to expand its outreach efforts as Segment C enters what officials expect will be the final months of construction. In coordination with Leucadia 101 Mainstreet, the city plans to hold community meetings to provide updates and share information with business owners. The meetings are expected to continue through the project’s completion. Despite their frustrations, several business owners said they support the project and want to see it finished as quickly as possible. Once construction is complete, Schade said he hopes the city will host a community celebration to help encourage customers back to the area. “I would like to see a clear path to the end of the game,” Schade said.

He said adding more density to a heavily visited coastal area would only compound future challenges but that the city was “hamstrung with this because of state laws.” Councilmember Teresa Acosta said her involvement with the League of California Cities stems from a belief that local governments should retain authority to negotiate with developers.

“Overall, in the big picture, we do have a housing affordability crisis in the state,” Acosta said. “And state lawmakers are attempting to solve this issue by imposing blanket laws across the entire state and basically saying that we cannot refuse projects — and in fact giving additional assistance to developers to add more units and go higher.”

two or more days on a consistent basis,” Nutter said. For Leucadia 101 MainStreet Association Treasurer Kevin Doyle, the project’s delays have prolonged the disruption for businesses along the corridor. Doyle, who previously served on the city’s Planning Commission, said the project, first proposed in 2008, could have been completed more than a decade ago if construction had begun as originally planned in 2010. Doyle said just a few months of construction can be devastating for small businesses that depend on daily customer foot traffic — let alone years of ongoing construction. “My big concern right now is we’re going to shut those businesses down for three to six months, and most of them won’t make it,” Doyle said. Business owners also cited safety concerns along the corridor, saying a lack of safe pedestrian crossings and access points has discouraged customers from visiting area shops. Georgees said he witnessed a customer and the customer’s dog nearly struck by a passing vehicle right in front of his shop. The city has since installed temporary orange barricades in

requiring the developer to offer to install the mechanical lifts if accepted by the city. The condition, agreed to by the developer, was added to the project’s approval.

Size concerns

During public comment, residents and nearby property owners raised concerns about parking, traffic and the building’s color scheme, saying it could clash with the Village’s character. Steve Linke, a former member of the Carlsbad

front of the business. Safety concerns prompted Schade to take matters into his own hands. With no defined sidewalk in front of his shop, Schade said pedestrians were forced onto what he described as “a strip of cracked-up asphalt.” To create a buffer, he placed A-frame signs along the roadway’s edge, several of which have since been struck by passing vehicles. “There are cars going

30-35 miles per hour about 24 inches away from people walking their dogs,” Schade said. Schade also installed flashing red bicycle lights to warn southbound drivers that the lane narrows, and added LED lighting along the eaves of his storefront due to the lack of streetlights between The Leucadian Bar and Avocado Street, a stretch of road he described as “pitch black” at

night. Nikolas Harth, co-owner of Surfhouse Hotel and Coffee Coffee, both located along North Coast Highway 101 in Leucadia, said he believes the city has not done enough to ensure customers can safely access businesses while construction continues. “I feel like (the city) hasn’t done enough to create a safety measure for people to still be able to access those businesses that are just being put through what kind of seems like a project with no end date,” said Harth. According to Nutter, the city plans to install additional signage directing pedestrians to designated crossings and helping drivers identify where U-turns

Traffic Safety and Mobility Commission, said the added density could create safety concerns during an emergency evacuation. Many of those concerns echoed issues raised by the Planning Commission when it recommended approval of the project in May. The commission voted to recommend approval after receiving written public comments but no public testimony. Despite criticizing the state laws that compelled the vote, the council approved the project 4-1. Councilmember Melanie Burkholder, whose district

includes the site, cast the lone dissenting vote. “I was not elected to represent Sacramento, I was elected to represent the Village and the Barrio and this is not a project folks want,” Burkholder said. Burkholder said she was concerned the cost of the mechanical lifts would ultimately fall on buyers and that the developer’s promise to continue working with the city on parking was unenforceable. She also echoed public concerns about the building’s color palette but said the vacant former bank site was ready for redevel-

opment and would benefit from the addition of for-sale affordable housing. Mayor Pro Tem Priya Bhat-Patel said state law leaves cities with a “really narrow legal standard” for denying projects. “Tonight’s vote isn’t really a referendum on whether we like the project’s size,” Bhat-Patel said. Councilmember Kevin Shin said the state’s housing strategy failed to account for Carlsbad’s unique geography, noting that the transit corridor the state seeks to encourage depends on a rail line along an eroding coastline.
