— The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office held a workshop at the Vista Civic Center on Tuesday to share more information about the planned rebuild of the Vista Detention Facility and gather input from community members.
Constructed in 1978, the Vista jail along Melrose Drive is the oldest of the county’s seven detention facilities.
An outside consultant determined last year that the jail has reached the end of its usable life and will need to be replaced, at an estimated cost of nearly $1 billion.
The new jail would increase the inmate capacity from 807 to 1,412, and would include new intake and release facilities, food services, medical and educational facilities, rehabilitation, indoor recreation, and security and staff areas.
On Tuesday, Sheriff Kelly Martinez and other officials discussed the needs of the current facility and the programs that could be implemented once it’s rebuilt, and gave community members the chance to provide feedback.
Martinez emphasized that the Vista jail was originally built with the goal of simply warehousing inmates, not providing mental health and re-entry services.
By today’s standards, it is not a place people should be living long-term, yet it’s not uncommon

Encinitas fills dozens of commission seats
City taps 31 residents for advisory roles
By Cameron Adams ENCINITAS —
The Encin-
itas City Council appointed residents to fill 31 openings on seven commissions and one advisory committee, selecting from 85 eligible applicants, according to city documents.
Commission for the Arts: The council appointed incumbents Vicki Campbell and Jennifer Marakovits, along with Chris Cote and Beverly Goodman.
Campbell said the commission’s work is visible throughout
the city. “All of the art on display at the community center, the library, all over Encinitas is part of our work,” she said.
Cote, a former professional surfer turned media executive and broadcaster, praised the city’s creative scene, saying, “The art scene here is incredible.”
Environmental Commission: Carol Parker and Kosta Kalamaras were appointed by a 3-2 vote.
Parker, who will serve a second term, said she hopes to expand tree planting efforts among residents and businesses. “I think the city is doing a good job with trees for the most part,” she said.
Kalamaras said environmen-
tal planning requires attention to small details. “When planning, knowing this is vital.”
Mobility and Traffic Safety Commission: John Eldon (Leucadia), Leigh Ratcliffe (New Encinitas) and Molly Hintlian (Old Encinitas) were appointed.
Eldon said he supports traffic calming strategies “because speed literally kills.”
Ratcliffe said she has studied local traffic data extensively. “I could not pass up the chance to step up and serve my city.”
Hintlian said traffic safety remains a high priority amid ongoing development.
Parks and Recreation Commission: Jordan Blimbaum,
Georg Capielo, David Dean, Jeffery Horton and Julie Van der Auwera were appointed.
Dean, creator of Dave’s Rock Garden, said the space has become “a very important part of our community.”
Horton, a retired Marine Corps officer who now flies for Delta Air Lines, said parks play a major role in his family’s life. Van der Auwera will serve a term ending March 1, 2027; the others serve through 2029.
Planning Commission: Bridget Kimball (Leucadia), Michael Quinn (New Encinitas) and incumbent Robert Prendergast

Get Fit in the Village
“Pilates saved me.” Those are powerful words from Liz Merrill, owner of Carlsbad Village’s newest wellness studio, b∙long Modern Pilates, located at 2832 State St.
“I discovered Pilates after breaking my femur a few years ago,” Liz shares. “I needed a way to rebuild my strength and balance. I fell in love with the practice, but I couldn’t nd a studio that prioritized community—so I created one.”
Liz, who also owns b∙long Modern Pilates in Coronado along with other tness studios, says Pilates transformed her body in ways marathon running, triathlons, and Spartan races never did. While traditional strength training often targets large muscle groups, it can overlook the smaller stabilizing muscles that support alignment and functional movement. Pilates lls that gap.
At b∙long, classes focus on building strength through these “small-twitch” muscles, creating deep, balanced stability that improves mobility, posture, and overall body control—bene ts that carry over into all workouts and everyday life.
One common misconception is that reformer Pilates is “too hard” or requires prior strength, exibility, or experience. In reality, b∙long Modern Pilates is designed for everyone— from older adults and expecting moms to rst-time tness enthusiasts. As Liz puts it, “If you have a body, you b∙long here.”
All instructors are highly trained and committed to helping students feel safe, supported, and con dent. They walk newcomers through the equipment, o er modi cations, and ensure movements feel good for each individual body. One popular option is Sculpt & Stretch, a gentle, mobility-focused class that strengthens, lengthens, and restores through mindful movement and spinal health. It’s a perfect entry point for beginners or anyone seeking a slower, grounding introduction to Pilates.
Curious to try it out? New clients can enjoy two classes for just $49. Specials change daily and go quickly, so follow their Instagram @b.longpilates to stay updated. For those looking to fully immerse themselves in the community, Founding Members can lock in a discounted rate for life, enjoy extended booking windows, and receive exclusive perks throughout the year.
b∙long also o ers childcare, created to support parents— especially moms balancing work, family, and personal wellness. Parents no longer have to choose between a workout and nding childcare. Childcare is available Monday through Saturday during the 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM classes for members at a small fee, providing a safe and convenient space for little ones while parents recharge.
“b∙long is a space that makes Pilates accessible,” Liz says. “We o er classes for every level—from gentle introductions to advanced challenges. People can come as they are and join a community that’s approachable, inclusive, fun, and supportive.”
Please join us in welcoming b∙long Modern Pilates to downtown Carlsbad. We’re thrilled they chose our Village—and excited for the positive impact they’ll bring to our community.
O’side approves EV charging, battery storage site
By Leo Place
OCEANSIDE — A proposed electric vehicle charging station with 63 stalls, two Tesla battery energy storage systems, and a convenience market is moving forward along Coast Highway 101, following approval by the Oceanside City Council earlier this month.
The project is proposed for a one-acre site occupied by an auto shop at 1501 North Coast Highway 101, just west of Interstate 5 near Oceanside Harbor and the Camp Pendleton main gate. The site is adjacent to the Sandy Shores RV and Mobile Home Park, a Denny’s, and a Chevron gas station.
Project applicant Rove Charging proposes 63 parking stalls, including 54 EV chargers and nine non-EV spots. There would also be two 29-foot Tesla Megapack battery energy storage systems, which would store energy during off-peak periods and use it during peak periods to avoid overwhelming the grid.
The project will also include a 3,457-square-foot building housing a convenience market, and a lounge with Wi-Fi and restrooms for customers to use while charging their cars.
During the Feb. 4 project discussion, the City Council heard concerns from several residents about the possibility of Tesla Megapacks catching fire. Recent local battery fires have raised local anxieties, including a Tesla Megapack fire in San Marcos last month that temporarily closed businesses at Creekside Marketplace, and another lithium-ion battery fire in Escondido in 2024.
Vaughan Johnson, Chief Operating Officer at Rove Charging, said the Megapack is much safer than other types of batteries used in the past, including the AES batteries at the storage facility that caught fire in Escondido.
“I know the Escondido fire is fresh,” said Johnson. “We would never want to replicate that situation, but the Tesla Megapack is ten times less likely than a house fire and three hundred times less likely than a
Blakespear gives $1.67M check for veteran housing

“The victims photographed the vehicle and license plate and promptly reported the incident to school officials,’’ EPD Lt. Ryan Hicks said.
car fire.”
After discussing the issue of fire safety with Oceanside fire officials, the council voted 4-1, with Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce opposed, to approve a coastal permit, development plan, and conditional use permit for the project.
Mayor Esther Sanchez said providing public EV charging is important to helping the city meet its climate goals, noting that not everyone can install a charger at their home.
“I see this as something that is needed. I do feel it is part of our Climate Action Plan,” Sanchez said. “It is a difficult one for me, because I'm not concerned with the site. My concern has more to do with trying to address the risk, and trying to ensure that I can explain to our residents the safety of this.”
The Oceanside Fire Department reviewed and approved the project design, with the requirement that Rove Charging complete additional analysis and system testing to ensure fire safety prior to construction.
Fire officials said they were not concerned about a fire spreading from the battery system to other areas, as the storage units are designed to contain any fire to that same unit. The Tesla units would be placed 10 feet apart from one another and enclosed by a fence, If a fire were to occur, officials would isolate the area within 100 meters and require anyone within that area to either evacuate or shelter in place. The best course of action is to let the
fire burn itself out, they said.
“I can say from the perspective of fire safety, we’re very comfortable with it,” Fire Chief David Parsons said. “As fire chief, the thing I'm most concerned about in this situation would be the hazard to the firefighters who are in proximity to that place.”
Some community members, however, raised concerns about the impact on mobile home residents living right by the project in the event of a fire. They also said the city needs to establish policy regulations for Tesla battery storage systems before approving projects.
“Proposed is not merely a charging station; it’s a charging station with Tesla mega energy storage systems, one of the largest systems made, which do not belong next to residential, mixed-use, mobilehome parks, or the rest,” said resident Shari Mackin.
When asked whether it would be possible to remove the Megapacks from the project and keep only the EV chargers, Rove Charging officials said it would likely kill the project, as they would be unable to secure the necessary investor support.
Joyce said while he supported EV chargers at the site, he wasn’t ready to “test drive” the concept of Tesla chargers so close to a mobile home park.
“I think the location is a good spot for the charging. I do have concerns about fires that you cannot control having to burn out near so many residences,” Joyce said.
The money awarded Feb. 12 will be used for the Homelessness Prevention Landlord Incentive Program, which provides direct payments to landlords to lower rental costs for veterans who qualify for assistance through the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program.
Last year, the county invested $683,900 in landlord incentives, helping secure housing for 243 veterans.
“The landlord incentive program reduces barriers that keep people from renting an apartment,” Blakespear said. “Landlords need a security deposit and the assurance that any damage to the unit will be covered, among other things, in order to rent their units.
“I am thrilled that I was able to secure state funding to support a system for the men and women who have served this country to get quickly into places to live.”
According to the county, once a landlord agrees to rent to the veteran with a VASH voucher, a lease is signed, and rental assistance begins. This assistance is paid directly to landlords, not tenants, and can be used for things like leasing bonuses, application fees, security deposits and a landlord assurance fund.
Blakespear presented the check to county Supervisor Paloma Aguirre.
“This isn’t just a win for the balance sheet — it’s a lifeline for San Diegans,” Aguirre said. “It is far more humane and fiscally responsible to keep a roof over someone’s head today than to build a shelter bed tomorrow, and this funding allows us to move from reactive crisis management to proactive prevention.”

Golden State politics drive costly brain drain
By Jim Trageser
While much, perhaps most, of California’s political class is cheering not only a proposed “wealth tax” on billionaires, but almost giddily daring said billionaires to leave California, young people in particular might just wonder what driving tech moguls out of the state would mean for our state’s future.
Driving billionaires to relocate to more friendly states costs more than lost tax revenue: Most billionaires became rich by building a successful company. When they leave, they tend to take their companies with them.
So there are job losses to the state as well.
While California’s bestknown tech hub remains Silicon Valley, there are other such centers of innovation throughout the state –including here in Carlsbad.
Many of our tech companies were founded by smart, ambitious young engineers and managers who realized they could only go so high in an existing operation and so struck out on their own.
Apple was founded by two veterans of Atari and Hewlett-Packard whose proposal to build a personal computer was turned down by both firms. (And Atari
was founded by two veterans of Ampex, a designer of stereo equipment.)
Intel was started by employees at Fairchild Semiconductor, which had itself been founded by eight employees of Shockley Semiconductor. Qualcomm was the creation of employ-
other, more business- and employee-friendly locales, costing California residents thousands of lost jobs.
And here in North County, semiconductor testing firm FormFactor will close its Carlsbad plant later this year, costing our community more than 100 jobs.
California’s voters have got to start letting their representatives know that hostility to the business community is no longer acceptable.
ees who met at networking firm Linkabit.
So when public policies drive successful entrepreneurs and their company away, there is more than a loss of taxes and even jobs: These policies carry a huge opportunity cost in that the next generation of startups founded by those companies’ talented employees will not begin operations in California.
Even without a proposed wealth seizure by Sacramento, businesses (and residents) are already fleeing our state due to the government’s hostility toward private enterprise –including H-P and Oracle.
And even those that have stayed (so far), like Apple and Google, have located recent expansions in
California’s voters have got to start letting their representatives know that hostility to the business community is no longer acceptable. With the state and many local jurisdictions upside down on their pension plans, it is beyond comprehension how the same folks responsible for managing our public assets are so blind to the costs of their reckless political amateurism.
Business as usual in California can no longer mean driving our homegrown businesses away.

A county with a spending problem
By Jim Desmond
Last week, I brought forward a proposal at the County Board of Supervisors calling on the County to take a clear stand against new taxes. Unfortunately, my colleagues rejected it. I was disappointed — but not discouraged.
Families across San Diego County are already being squeezed from every direction. Electricity bills are higher. Water rates are higher. Housing costs are higher. Groceries cost more. Insurance costs more. Nearly everything costs more. And yet, some in government continue to believe the solution is to ask you to pay even more in taxes.
Here’s the reality. When I first became Supervisor, the County’s budget was approximately $6.2 billion. Last year, the County approved a record $8.6 billion budget — nearly a 40 percent increase in just seven years. Government spending has grown dramatically. Despite that massive expansion, there are still proposals advancing that would increase taxes even further.
At the County level, discussions include a proposed half-cent countywide sales tax that could appear on the 2026 ballot, as well as a one-time transfer fee targeting the top one percent of real estate transactions.
There is also a proposal to raise the Documentary Transfer Tax from fifty-five cents per $500 of property value to as much as $30.55 per $500 — an increase of more than 5,000 percent.
Additionally, there are ongoing efforts to change state law to allow counties to impose entirely new payroll taxes on employers and workers.
Behind closed doors, the County’s Ad Hoc Fiscal Sustainability Committee and hired consultants are developing other fiscal mechanisms that could include another sales tax or a version of Los Angeles’ failed “mansion tax,” all of
which would require four supervisor votes to place on the ballot.
Meanwhile, at the City of San Diego, residents are facing a proposed vacation home or short-term rental tax that could also land on the 2026 ballot, along with a proposed one-cent citywide sales tax backed by labor unions.
Balboa Park parking fees have already been approved and will take effect in early 2026.
Water rates are rising by 14.7 percent and wastewater rates by 6 percent as of January 1, 2026. New trash collection fees have already been imposed, and higher recreation and user fees were adopted as part of the City’s FY 2026 budget.
This is not happening in isolation. It is happening while families are struggling to keep up with rising mortgage payments, rent, utility bills, and everyday expenses.
It is happening while seniors on fixed incomes are being forced to make hard decisions between essentials. It is happening while small businesses are fighting to survive in one of the most expensive regions in the country.
We do not have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem.
That is why I brought my proposal forward — to send a clear message that San Diegans cannot afford more taxes and deserve relief, not more pressure. Even though my colleagues chose not to take that stand, I will not stop fighting.
I will continue standing up for families, seniors, workers, and small businesses who are being priced out of the community they call home. You deserve a County government that lives within its means — just like you do every single day.
And I will keep fighting to make sure it does.
Jim Desmond represents the 5th District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

Dear Editor: It’s astounding to see the intensity of the groundbreaking project across from Smart & Final on Encinitas Boulevard. The number of personnel, trucks and heavy equipment moving with real urgency is hard to miss. By comparison, the improvement project along North Coast Highway 101 appears far less active. As I frequently pass by on Coast Highway 101, I see large machines sitting idle and only
a sparse number of workers on site. Is this project moving with efficiency, speed and financial responsibility?

New homes test rural Bonsall Ocean Breeze Ranch breaks ground amid concerns over roads, schools and
rural character
By Jordan P. Ingram
Rolling green foothills, avocado and citrus groves, meandering horse trails, Mediterranean microclimate and small-town charm have long defined life in Bonsall.
Soon, hundreds of new homes will, too.
Trumark Homes has broken ground on Ocean Breeze Ranch, a massive undertaking that will bring 381 single-family residences to an area that has histori-
cally seen limited, low-density growth.
While the project cleared years of review, some local planners and residents continue to sound the alarm that increased demand on roads, utilities and school capacity could strain infrastructure in the rural community.
The Newport Beachbased builder acquired the beloved local property, long known as the Vessels Ranch stallion farm, in a $53 million sale brokered by Col-
liers. The roughly 1,403acre site at 5820 West Lilac Road will include five distinct neighborhoods, along with parks, trails, and more than 950 acres of preserved open space.
For a project of its size, Ocean Breeze Ranch had an unusually smooth approval process, according to Hunter McDonald, a land-use adviser to county Supervisor Jim Desmond and a former county planner.
In the works since 2017, McDonald said the project
— designed as a “conservation subdivision” — benefited from early community outreach and close alignment with the Bonsall Community Plan, the county land-use document guiding development across the 32.8-square-mile unincorporated community.
“The idea is to consolidate the development footprint and preserve as much open space and habitat as possible,” McDonald said. “It’s consistent with the county’s General Plan — no
amendments — so it reflects the density people already agreed should occur on this property. Additionally, Trumark was very transparent and available to the community.”
The San Diego County Planning Commission approved the project in December 2019, before the county adopted its more stringent vehicle miles traveled, or VMT, framework, which further helped expedite the project’s approval, McDonald said.
Under Senate Bill 743, the county now evaluates traffic impacts based on vehicle miles traveled — the amount and distance of driving a project generates — rather than traditional measures such as congestion or delay. Based on current VMT guidelines, any residential development in Bonsall is likely to be deemed "inefficient" from a traffic standpoint, according to McDon-

Sound money makes a return silver outlook
Goldbacks, Silverbacks, and Texas’s bullion-backed payment initiatives represent emerging experiments connected to sound money principles associated with Austrian economics. In an age of ongoing fiat expansion, supporters view these as tools individuals may use to hedge against inflationary erosion.
Goldbacks, originating in Utah and now spanning states with editions like the 2025 Dallas-Fort Worth Texas series, are polymer notes embedding minuscule amounts of 24-karat gold (typically 1/1000th ounce per “1” denomination).
They provide lightweight, divisible, portable fractional gold designed for voluntary barter transactions among willing participants, addressing the “small change” challenge associated with physical precious metals.
Silverbacks, from the same Goldback Inc. innovators, mirror this format but use .999 fine silver (1/1000th troy ounce per note), as seen in releases like the 2026 Hades Silver-
back from the Legends of Olympus series.
While Silverbacks emphasize collectibility, artistry, and storytelling more than everyday spending (due to higher relative production costs for silver), they expand access to hyper-fractional precious metals.
Both reflect characteristics commonly associated with commodity money: scarcity, durability, and resistance to arbitrary supply expansion, unlike fiat currencies whose supply is managed by central banks.
Austrian economists such as Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard argued that fiat monetary systems can contribute to credit-driven boom-bust cycles and inflation acting as an indirect tax.
Advocates of commodity-based alternatives believe they encourage savings and price stability through market signals rather than policy intervention. Supporters also point to the long historical use of gold and silver as stores of value under commodity monetary systems.
Texas has moved in a related but distinct direction. Rather than issuing circulating gold notes, the state has developed infrastructure around the Texas Bullion Depository allowing individuals to hold precious metals and transact
Vista OKs sewer rate increases
By Leo Place VISTA — Residents
in Vista are expected to see annual increases to their wastewater bills over each of the next three years, as the city forecasts millions of dollars in needed capital improvement projects in the sewer system.
On Feb. 10, the Vista City Council unanimously approved proposals for an annual 5.5% rate increase for the city of Vista and a 4% increase for Buena Sanitation District, which is owned by the city and extends into portions of the county and San Marcos.
The recommended increase came from a rate study completed by the city and Water Resources Economics. Next, the City Council will receive a final report on the proposed rates in late March, and the city will mail notices to residents about the proposed rate increase.
The city will hold a Proposition 218 public hearing in May, and the new rates would take effect on June 25 for the start of the 2026-27 fiscal year.
City staff said there are several factors driving the need for higher rates. One major component is the $73.7 million in capital improvement projects needed between the city and Buena Sanitation District over the next three years.
Many of these capital improvements were identified during a 2025 Sewer Master Plan update, including pipe replacement to increase capacity, repairs to pipes using new curedin-place pipe lining, septic service area buildouts, and pump station upgrades.
“That update identified numerous system deficiencies that required capacity upsizing,” said Sewer Engineering Manager Ken Knatz.
The city is also experiencing inflationary pressures, staff said. Around 40% of the city’s sewer billing costs go to the Encina Wastewater Authority, which treats the city’s wastewater and is facing increased costs for energy, chemicals, and biosolids transportation.
The city also needs to maintain its reserves in case of emergencies or catastrophic events.
“By doing 5.5 [percent] over the next three years, we meet our reserve targets and our coverage ratios,” said Sanjay Gaur, president of consulting group Water Resources Economics.
About 40% of sewer billing costs go to the Encina Wastewater Authority, which treats the city’s wastewater. Because Encina is experiencing increased costs for energy, chemicals, and biosolids transportation, higher costs are also passed on to the city.
If the city made no changes to rates, it would run out of reserves by 2030, staff reported. Planned capital improvements would also have to be significantly reduced, putting the city at risk of major infrastructure issues.
Vista last raised rates in 2022, and had not updated its Sewer Master Plan since 2017. Mayor John Franklin said this process has been long overdue.
“What we messed ourselves up here is by not doing this for 10 years, and we would have been looking at a lot lesser increases that wouldn’t have bothered the public as much,” Franklin said.
Under the 5.5% increase for Vista city customers, the annual bill for single-family residences would rise from $708 to $829 over three years. Multifamily residences would see an increase from $495 to $581.
For Buena customers, there are separate rates for
those within city limits and those outside city limits in the county, but both would experience a 4% increase.
For those in the city limits, the annual bill for single-family homes would increase from $663 to $770 over three years, and for single-family homes in the county, it would increase from $621 to $704.
Councilmember Dan O’Donnell said that over a three-year period, these increases will be well worth it to maintain the city’s sewer system.
“It’s a very negligible amount to make sure that your toilets flush and that our sewer system is not failing throughout our community. I do agree that this should not have waited as long as it did,” O’Donnell said. “To have a three-year high ramp up on these, I know will not sit well with the public.”
In addition to continuing the 5.5% rate, council members asked city staff to consider a rate increase below 5% as an option for City of Vista customers.
The council also unanimously voted to have all future sewer service charges collected directly on the San Diego County property tax roll, since only a small percentage of customers pay the city directly.
This change is expected to save the city around $25,000. City Councilmember Corinna Contreras requested that these additional funds be added to the $72,000 set aside for the lifeline rebate program, which provides qualifying residents with a 30% reduction in sewer charges.
“I’m really concerned about our seniors and folks that are on low incomes,” Contreras said.
The council agreed to this as well.
County to use unclaimed taxes for senior rent aid
San Diego County will spend a little over $300,000 in unclaimed property tax refunds for a rental assistance program that helps low-income senior citizens after a Board of Supervisors Feb. 10 vote.
Supervisor Joel Anderson proposed using the unclaimed money, which would have been placed in the county’s general fund budget otherwise.
“Our needs are greater than ever before,’’ he said.
In February 2022, Anderson and now-Board Chair Terra Lawson-Remer introduced a joint-board letter asking county staff to design a pilot program to provide a “shallow rent subsidy’’ to low-income, rent-burdened older adults who are imminently at risk of homelessness.
After the program took effect in January 2023, it was expanded the following year.
Last week’s vote was 4-1, with Lawson-Remer voting no, citing concerns over other unmet needs.
The board chair said she was very supportive of the rent-support program, but could not support Anderson’s proposal without further fiscal planning. Lawson-Remer suggested it would be better to discuss more rent subsidy funding during a planned budget update on March 3.
Chief Administrative Officer Ebony Shelton said the county has spent $5 million on the rent program since its inception, and has $1 million available.
Supervisor Paloma Aguirre said that ideally the county should offer rental assistance to all who need it.
Senior citizens who qualify for the subsidy program must be 55 or older, have a household at or 50% below the area median income and pay over 50% of their income toward housing costs.
Applicants must also hold a lease or rental agreement in their name, along with a landlord who will participate, and not receive other rental subsidies. — City News Service

Escondido planners back Juniper office conversion
By Cameron Adams ESCONDIDO
— A proposal to convert a building near downtown Escondido from office space into 32 apartment units, including some designated for low-income residents, has cleared a key hurdle after the Planning Commission recommended approval to the City Council.
The 0.67-acre site, located about a half-mile south of City Hall at the northeast corner of South Juniper Street and East Fourth Avenue, currently contains a 20,378-squarefoot office building constructed in 1971, according to city documents.
The property sits in a mixed-use area, bordered on
for inmates to be housed there for three to five years.
“The reality is, Vista jail is no place to live for that length of time,” Martinez said. “We’ve shut down one of the housing modules because we can no longer find the parts for it. We’re literally ordering parts on eBay, and trying to find pieces to keep the jail running. The sewage backs up frequently, and there are all kinds of other infrastructure problems, and the spaces in the jail just aren’t conducive to the work that we need to do.”
Community members heard from a panel of individuals working at the Vista jail, including deputies, re-entry and medical staff, the Oceanside Police Chief, and a man who was formerly incarcerated there.
Re-entry and medical staff at the Vista jail said that, while they make do with the current infrastructure, they cannot provide the privacy and care people need in the facility.
Director of Nursing Cristina Clonts said there are no appropriate clinical spaces for initial health or psychiatric evaluations at intake, and individuals must be moved to other areas to complete this process.
“This is our first opportunity to maybe help a mental health crisis or get those care plans started,” Clonts said. “Right now, those evaluations do happen, but it does require some security and logistical movement, because there are no clinical spaces that are available in the intake area of those facilities at Vista.”
Re-Entry Program Coordinator Michael Barragan said a proper environment is crucial to the goal of re-entry services, which provide
several sides by commercial and other nonresidential buildings, with multifamily housing to the east.
The existing site includes 61 off-street parking spaces in a lot behind the building’s main entrance on South Juniper Street.
Plans submitted by applicant Darshan Patel would retain the existing structure but convert the interior from office use into 24 market-rate studio units and eight deed-restricted, low-income one-bedroom units, according to city documents. The apartments would average about 500 square feet.
The proposal would also reconfigure parking on the side of the lot, reducing the
total number of spaces to 45—equivalent to one space per unit —while providing additional guest parking.
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval at its Feb. 10 meeting.
Vice Chair Barry Speer said that while he shares general concerns about parking, it would not be appropriate to impose requirements beyond those applicable to the project.
Commissioner Dustin Steeve expressed concern about increased nighttime activity along the sidewalk and in the parking lot, noting that the area currently experiences more daytime traffic due to office use.
“One of the problems
we have in that part of town is that there’s not lighting,” Steeve said.
Draft street improvement plans call for the developer to replace existing streetlights with LED fixtures and salvage the current lights for the city’s Public Works yard. The project would also be required to ensure adequate lighting at the driveway entrance.
Commissioner Carrie Mecaro said that although the area’s sidewalks are narrow and may warrant upgrades in the future, she did not view them as a safety concern.
• After years of flooding during heavy rain, the Valley of Dreams mobile home park in Leucadia is poised
programs like skill-building, substance use treatment, and education to prepare inmates for success after their release.
“When it comes to re-entry planning, those conversations require a lot of honesty,” Barragan said. “They require a space where there’s confidential information that’s shared, so having those spaces that promote those change talks, having those spaces that promote individuals to better prepare while they’re in custody … it is vital to helping the individuals while they’re in custody.”
Oceanside Police Chief Taurino Valdovinos said the limitations of the Vista jail also pull deputies out of the field for too long while they book people into the jail.
During booking, if someone shows signs of high blood pressure, for example, they must be transported to a local hospital for a full assessment before they can be booked, which requires even
more time from deputies. Sometimes, deputies end up citing and releasing people, either in hospital beds or in front of the jail, simply because it will take too long to fully book them, officials said.
Jeffrey Warren, who was formerly incarcerated at the Vista jail and went through medically-assisted treatment, said the program helped him to turn his life around after years of dealing with addiction.
He said the staff did the best they could with the limited space they had, such as holding meetings in cleaned-out broom closets, and that they deserve proper facilities.
“It was like turning on a light in a dark room,” Warren said of the program. “It’s almost like a no-brainer, if you’re gonna make it, make it right, make it good, continue with the work, the good work, that’s been going on.”
Local advocates and
family members of those who have died in San Diego County custody emphasized that while a new building is needed, it won’t fix all of the issues in the jails.
In 2022, the county had one of the highest in-custody death rates in the state, with 19 total deaths. Since then, the county reported 14 deaths in 2023, nine in 2024 (although community members say the true number is 10, counting one individual who was beaten into a coma in his cell in late 2023 and died the following year), and 10 in 2025.
Paloma Serna, whose
for long-awaited drainage upgrades.
The City of Encinitas on Feb. 12 approved a Coastal Development Permit for improvements including a catch basin, stormwater pump, new curbs and gutters, pavement resurfacing and minor adjustments to the road’s elevation to improve drainage.
Steve Campbell is listed as the project applicant, with engineering by Civil Landworks.
A hydrology review accepted by city engineers found that the upgrades would route water to the same discharge point, but slow it down, helping ease the surge of stormwater runoff during heavy rains.
Located west of North Coast Highway 101 in a designated floodplain, the mobile home park’s entrance faces Leucadia Roadside Park, a low-lying area where runoff accumulates.
In January 2023 and February 2024, Leucadia experienced significant flooding during severe weather, with some residents near the park reporting up to a foot of water in their homes.
Several Leucadia homeowners have since filed lawsuits alleging that the city’s mismanagement of its drainage system has caused repeated flooding of their properties.
— Jordan P. Ingram
daughter Elisa Serna died in the sheriff’s custody in 2019 after failing to receive medical treatment for withdrawal symptoms, said the more important change needs to happen among the people working in the jails.
“We can make a building beautiful and have all the updated digital stuff, but what are we going to do? … How do you get the staff with nursing, or even deputies, or other individuals who are incarcerated, to really participate and have compassion, pretty much, to help individuals to be successful from day one?” Serna asked.
Martinez thanked Serna and other advocates for helping drive the change that improved safety in the jails, and said the county works to instill in deputies and jail staff that the people in the jails are, first and
foremost, members of the community.
The road to the new jail will likely take several years, as the county is still early in the environmental review process. Over the next two years, the county will complete the environmental impact report for the project, which would then go to the County Board of Supervisors for approval.
There is no funding identified for the project at this point, but the county is planning to pursue funding through the capital improvement needs assessment process.
Once funding is approved, the county will proceed with preconstruction planning and design. County Project Manager Marcus Lubich said there will be multiple design options and various opportunities for additional feedback.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying o all liens senior to the lien being auctioned o , 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 o ce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may
qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

WHEREAS, on 1/8/2010, a certain Mortgage Deed of Trust was executed by MARY ANN PATTEN, A WIDOW as trustor in favor of WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A as bene ciary, and was recorded on 1/14/2010, as Instrument No. 20100019319, in the O ce of the Recorder of San Diego County, California; and WHEREAS, the Mortgage Deed of Trust was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (the Secretary) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the
purpose of providing single family house; and WHEREAS, the bene cial interest in the Mortgage Deed of Trust is now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to an assignment dated 10/26/2018, recorded on 10/29/2018, as instrument number 2018-0450443, in the o ce of San Diego County, California; and WHEREAS, a default has been made in the covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Deed of Trust in that the payment due upon the death of the borrower(s) was not made and remains wholly unpaid as of the date of this notice, and no payment has been made su cient to restore the loan to currency; and WHEREAS, the entire amount delinquent as of 1/29/2026 is $369,708.70; and WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable; NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of
1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary’s designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on 6/21/2017 as Instrument No. 2017-0280542 notice is hereby given that on 3/16/2026 at 10:30 AM local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises (“Property”) will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder: Legal Description: LOT 360 OF COSTA SERENA UNIT NO. 4, IN THE CITY OF OCEANSIDE, COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, ACCORDING TO MAP THEREOF NO. 7100, FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY ON OCTOBER 27, 1971. Commonly known as: 3652 CAMPUS DR, OCEANSIDE, CA 92056 The sale will be held at: AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE EAST COUNTY REGIONAL CENTER BY STATUE, 250 E. MAIN STREET, EL CAJON, CA 92020 Per the Secretary
of Housing and Urban Development, the estimated opening bid will be $376,261.52. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his pro rata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, the winning bidders with the exception of the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling ten percent (10%) of the Secretary’s estimated bid amount in the form of a certi ed check or cashier’s check made payable to the undersigned Foreclosure Commissioner.
Ten percent of the estimated bid amount for this sale is $37,626.15. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $37,626.15 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certi ed or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment.
All extensions will be for 15 day increments for a fee of: $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certi ed or cashiers check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder
may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the Foreclosure Commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, o er the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price o ered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certi ed or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage Deed of Trust is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is based on the nature of the breach, this loan is not subject to reinstatement.
A total payo is required to cancel the foreclosure sale or the breach must be otherwise cured.
A description of the default is as follows: FAILURE TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE AND ANY OUTSTANDING FEES, COSTS, AND INTEREST WHICH BECAME ALL DUE AND PAYABLE BASED UPON THE DEATH OF ALL MORTGAGORS. Tender of payment by certi ed or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the

They’ve also given me a strategy that guarantees clients will talk about me to others for weeks and remember me for years to come.

Bright Idea
Former college design professor Don Glickman was 93 and dying when he and his daughter discussed how he wanted to be memorialized, The (Spokane) Spokesman-Review reported on Feb. 9.
Leah Glickman said her father faced his fate head-on: “We never used words in our house like ‘he passed,’” she said. “We said, ‘he died.’ No one gets out of here alive.” She and her dad came up with a clever idea: Send out postcards to family and friends, announcing his death. On the front is a photo of Glickman and the text, “If you’re reading this, I’m dead, and I really liked you,” with a small sketch of him that had become his signature.
On the back, Leah wrote, “After 94 years on this planet, my dad has departed. ... In a last act of design and Glickman ethos, he asked that this postcard be created, photo and text chosen by him.” Glickman died on Nov. 11. Former student Jason Snape, 56, got a postcard. “It made me laugh really hard because it was just so him,” Snape said. “It’s unusual, it’s sweet, it’s straightforward.” [Spokesman-Review, 2/9/2026]
Sir, This Is a Wendy’s City officials in Gastonia, North Carolina, got in-

volved after a video surfaced of someone getting a tattoo in a Wendy’s dining room in the city, WBTV reported.
The video was recorded on Feb. 5 from outside the restaurant and shows a man with his shirt off and another person sitting behind him, wearing blue gloves and holding a tattoo gun.
A city official said an environmental health team member talked to the store manager on Feb. 6 and reminded them that the restaurant “cannot tattoo without a permit.”
For its part, the franchisee said they “took immediate disciplinary action to address the situation.” [WBTV, 2/6/2026]
Passing Parade
Residents of Stoughton, Wisconsin, have been complaining to police about someone using a city park as their toilet, WMTV reported on Feb. 7.
The Stoughton Police Department said it had received numerous calls from citizens who found human feces and used toilet paper along a walking path in the park. Using trail cameras, police discovered the person was fouling the park in the early morning hours, then used a drone to catch a 46-year-old woman in the act. Officers say the woman is not homeless and doesn’t appear to be mentally impaired. [WMTV, 2/7/2026]

Olympic gold-winning downhill skier Breezy Johnson was jumping around in excitement after her medal ceremony in Italy on Feb. 8 when the medal broke, the Associated Press reported.
callit. The recipient would say thank you, use it, shelve it, or pitch it. I’d feel like I closed the loop, but I'd actually accomplished little beyond spending some money.
But…what if I gave them something that could only come from me? So I started giving each client a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle portraying the cover of their published book.
When was the last time you had a client cry with thanks for a gift you gave them? For me, it was last night.
I recognize that not everyone likes doing jigsaw puzzles. Despite this, authors and their families will
complete such a puzzle just because of the subject matter.
And once complete, they’ll invariably glue it together, frame it and hang it in their home or office.
I’ve seen it happen multiple times.
In a recent column, I recmmended that authors use their published book as a personalized premium for their own business development efforts. Because writing is such an intimate experience, my puzzle reminds folks of the intense event we’ve just survived together.
It’s a promotion they’ll never forget and one that
“It’s not crazy broken, but a little broken,” Johnson said. She’s not the only Olympian to experience a medal malfunction.
German biathlete Justus Strelow realized his bronze medal had fallen to the floor as he danced with teammates, and U.S. figure skater Alysa Liu posted a photo of her team gold medal detached from its ribbon. Chief games operations officer Andrea Francisi said they’re working on it. “The medal is the dream of the athletes, so we want that in the moment they are given it that everything is absolutely perfect.” [AP, 2/9/2026]
Hair Today
During a boxing match on Jan. 31 in New York, heavyweight Jarrell Miller lost his head -- or at least, his hair. Fox News reported that as Miller fought Kingsley Ibeh, one of Ibeh’s punches knocked Miller’s head back, and his hairpiece flew upward from the front, revealing a mostly bald head.
Miller ripped off the
toupee and thew it into the crowd, where spectators posed for photos with it. Strangely, Miller said he got the hairpiece just two days before, after he accidentally washed his hair with “ammonia bleach” instead of shampoo. Miller won the bout in a split decision. [Fox News, 2/1/2026]

At Ershui Junior High School in Taiwan, it’s not enough to be successful in the classroom, Oddity Central reported on Feb. 10. Before their graduation certificates can be signed, students must scale a 15-meter-high rock-climbing wall. The students take six climbing lessons each week in preparation for the test.
The school says the training challenges students’ limits and cultivates focus and physical coordination.

Investigators said Carroll urinated in different spots all over his workplace, including on his supervisor’s keyboard, in a pot of chili, in coffee creamer and in an icemaker.
Prosecutors said Carroll “urinated into the ice, wiped on a scoop and used the scoop to mix the urine throughout the ice” -- all while filming himself. Other targets were someone’s ChapStick, a can of vegetables and a carton of orange juice. Officials believe Carroll was making the videos to post to online subscription services. He was denied bail.

Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Laegreid, who won bronze in the 20km individual event, stunningly announced in his post-event interview on Feb. 10 that he had cheated on his girlfriend three months ago, Yahoo! News reported. Through tears, Laegreid, 28, said he met “the love of my life” six months ago, then “made the biggest mistake of my life.” He said his sport had “taken a back seat in recent days.”
For her part, the girlfriend called his revelation “hard to forgive. Even after a declaration of love in front of the whole world.” Later, Laegreid told a group of reporters, “Maybe it was really selfish of me to give that interview. I’m not really here mentally.” [Yahoo! News, 2/11/2026]

Rist said France’s “concrete and long-awaited measures” will include increasing the number of fertility preservation centers. Critics suggest raising maternity leave from 16 to 26 weeks would have a greater impact. [Independent, 2/9/2026]
Value beats a hard sell
Editor’s note: This is the third installment in a four-part series.
By Rich Henrich
Sales has changed, even if many businesses haven’t. Customers no longer want to be persuaded — they want to be confident.
And confidence comes from understanding. That’s why businesses that lead with value consistently outperform those that lead with promotions.
Educational content builds trust because it reduces uncertainty. When a business explains how something works, what to expect, or how to make better decisions, it positions itself as a guide rather than a salesperson.
Over time, this creates authority—not through claims, but through usefulness. This doesn’t require long reports or complex campaigns.
Simple FAQs, short videos answering common questions, how-to posts, or brief workshops can dramatically shift how a business is perceived.
When customers learn from you before they buy from you, the relationship begins earlier — and lasts longer.
Leading with value also improves search visibility. Search engines reward content that answers questions clearly and thoroughly.
Businesses that teach naturally attract inbound traffic, longer engagement, and higher-quality leads.
Perhaps most importantly, value-driven businesses earn patience. Customers are more forgiving, more loyal, and more likely to return when they feel respected rather than pressured.
The most trusted business in a market often wins—not because it’s the cheapest, but because it feels safest.
In a crowded digital landscape, generosity of knowledge has become a competitive advantage.

Coach: ‘Dax is the best player in the county’
Hall’s
27 ppg
lead Eagles to top seed in Open Division
By Noah Perkins SOLANA BEACH
— A year ago, Johnny Dee, finishing up a long professional basketball career abroad, sat in the stands during the CIF San Diego Section Open Division playoffs, and watched Dax Hall play for the first time.
Then a junior, Hall was leading Santa Fe Christian in a 71-64 opening-round loss to Carlsbad, with the spotlight on his older brother, Jake — the Lancers’ 3,000-point scorer and now a University of New Mexico standout.
But Dee, who averaged 32 points per game as a senior at Rancho Buena Vista High School in 2010 before becoming the all-time leading scorer at the University of San Diego, left with a different takeaway.
The younger brother was the best player in the gym.
“No disrespect to Jake, because Jake is going to be Mountain West Freshman of the Year,” Dee, now in his first year as head coach at Santa Fe Christian, told The Coast News. “But when I watched the game last year, I thought Dax was the best player on the floor — because the kid does everything. He can make every pass. He is an unbelievable scorer.
“The knock on him for three years was that he couldn’t shoot the threeball, and his brother shoots
now starrring at New Mexico, averages seven rebounds and assists per game to complement his gaudy scoring totals. Santa Fe Christian is 25-3 heading into tonight’s playoff opener. Courtesy
it as well as anybody in the country. So, I can understand why that applies more at the college level. But if you look at Dax’s numbers this year, he’s shooting 45% from three.”
Last Friday night, led by Dax Hall’s 30 points, the Eagles closed out the regular season with an 81-52 win over Tri-City Christian, improving to 25-3.
Hall has been dominant all season, averaging 27 points, seven rebounds and seven assists per game.
“To me, Dax is the best player in the county, and it’s not even particularly close,” Dee said. “And that’s no disrespect to anybody else. I’ve seen him want to guard the best player on every team — the ones most people don’t want to guard — and he
outplays or outscores them every single game.
“He’s held Tavid (Johnson of Francis Parker) under his average both times we played him, and he did the same thing against CJ (Aldrich of RBV), holding him under his average. He doesn’t have a ton of weaknesses, and he’s incredibly coachable.”
“I would describe my offensive approach as a true point guard,” Hall added. “I know I’m a great scorer and can make plays, but my role as a point guard is to make the best play every time down the court. That leads to a lot of kickouts and putting my teammates in the best position to succeed.
“We’ve got a plethora of great shooters around us, which makes my job of passing easy, but also opens opportunities for me to score at a high level.”
While Hall has been the engine for Santa Fe Christian, Dee said the team’s depth has often been underappreciated.
Junior guard Chase Othick is the only other double-digit scorer, averaging 14 points per game, but the contributions from the rest of the rotation extend beyond the stat book.
“If you want to take away Dax, you’re going to have to do that at your own peril,” Dee said. “I really think we have one of the best deep-shooting teams in the county. We’ve got four or five guys who can knock it down. So, if you want to double Dax or pack the paint, you’re basically just hoping we’re off that night.”
Hall singled out senior
guard and team captain Caden Doucette and senior forward Everett Kerkhoff.
“Caden has worked super hard since the end of last year and has earned his role as a starter and captain. He’s been electric on the court for us and can take over games in an instant. He’s got what feels like unlimited energy, and he really helps fuel our team.
“Everett also deserves a big shout because this is his first year on the team, and the way he’s embraced his role is inspiring. He knew coming in he wasn’t going to be the best basketball player out there, but he does all the little things that keep the team going. Whatever it is, we know we can count on Everett to help us out, and I think he deserves recognition for his hard work.”
Dee called senior Jaden Hitipeuw a “spectacular” defender.
“He’s playing two through five for us, so he’s definitely up there,” Dee said. “If there was one thing we challenged him on, based on what I saw in the summer, it was that he was going to have to be a defender for us so we could keep teams in the 50s. He has taken that role and done an unbelievable job.”
The Eagles finished second in the Coastal League to Francis Parker, coming within 12 points of going undefeated in league play after losing twice to Parker by a combined 10 points.
“It did feel, specifically in the first game, that Parker might have been a little more hungry than us,” Dee
said. “Then in the second game, being on the road, we just weren’t quite ready. From an execution standpoint and a concentration standpoint, we messed up quite a few plays — mistakes that were uncharacteristic for this group.
“But in a way, that’s great, because it happened now, and we get to play the next day in league, and it’s not the end of our season. My perspective is: Guys, we’re not a finished product.”
“I’m super proud of how we continue to work every day, because we know our ultimate goal is still on the table,” Hall added.

Oceanside native makes Winter Olympics history
Meyers Taylor, 41, captures elusive Olympic gold
Staff and wire reports
REGION — Elana
crash during training in January, just weeks before the Games, raising questions about whether she would be at full strength in Italy. Instead, she delivered one of the fastest runs of the competition in the final heat to secure the gold.
Meyers Taylor will now turn her focus to the two-woman competition, where she is partnering with 23-year-old Jadin O’Brien.
Born in Oceanside while her father, Eddie Meyers — a standout running back at the United States Naval Academy in the early 1980s — was stationed at Camp Pendleton, Meyers Taylor grew up in Douglasville, Georgia. Her earliest Olympic memory came at age 11 during the 1996 Atlanta Summer Games, when she briefly held the Olympic torch.
With the gold, Meyers Taylor tied speedskater Bonnie Blair for the most Winter Olympic medals by a U.S. woman. She also extended her own record for the most medals won by
Meyers Taylor, the Oceanside-born bobsledder who has become one of the most decorated athletes in Winter Games history, added a long-sought gold medal to her résumé Monday night, winning the women’s monobob at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. At 41, Meyers Taylor became the oldest woman to win an individual gold medal in Winter Games history. The victory marked her sixth career Olympic medal across five Games and capped a journey that began more than a decade ago. Her winning time of 3 minutes, 57.93 seconds was just 0.04 seconds faster than Germany’s Laura Nolte, underscoring the razor-thin margins that define sliding sports. Canada’s Kaillie Humphries took bronze.
a Black athlete in Winter Olympics history.
A five-time Olympian, Meyers Taylor previously earned bronze as a push athlete at the 2010 Vancouver Games, then transitioned to pilot and won silver in the two-woman event
at Sochi in 2014 and Pyeongchang in 2018.
At the Beijing Games in 2022, she captured silver in the inaugural women’s monobob and bronze in the two-woman competition.
Her latest triumph came after a frightening
A multi-sport standout in high school, she attended George Washington University on a softball scholarship, playing shortstop and pitcher. After graduation, she was introduced to bobsled in 2007 and made the national team in her rookie season.
Since then, she has compiled 10 World Championship medals, including four golds, and more Olympic medals than any other woman in bobsled history. Off the track, Meyers Taylor balances elite sport with motherhood. She and her husband, Nic Taylor — a two-time Olympic alternate for the U.S. bobsled team — have two sons, Nico and Noah. Both boys are deaf, and Noah also has Down syndrome. Meyers Taylor has spoken openly about learning American Sign Language to communicate with her sons and advocating for children with disabilities.
In Italy, moments after securing gold, she was quickly reunited with her children at the finish area — a reminder, she has said, that while Olympic glory is meaningful, it does not define her.
Her gold in Milan adds to a career that spans nearly two decades — and affirms her place among the greatest winter athletes in U.S. history.

Hearts on fire in Carlsbad Village for Valentine’s
Barrio Glassworks crafts 700 hearts for scavenger hunt
By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD — The Barrio
Glassworks team began making handcrafted glass hearts last November to be ready for last week’s event.
Mary Devlin, co-owner of Barrio Glassworks, said that many strategies were employed to make the 700 glass hearts for the weeklong Hearts of Carlsbad Village event. Excess fritted glass became critical to the design, and color stiffness had to be considered as well.
Each completed piece takes 24 hours to cool down, at roughly 50 degrees per hour, said Devlin, “otherwise it cracks.” She added that they tried to get out ahead of the increased demands for this year’s event.
“We started a little earlier and even so, we thought it was going to be plenty,” Devlin said of the plan to chip away weekly. “It’s 10, it’s 10, it’s 10. Uh oh. Now we move to 50. When we first started doing it, we did not know that the number was going to be 700 for the city.”
Hearts of Carlsbad Village began in 2021 and featured 50 hand-blown glass hearts from Barrio Glassworks. Since then, the event has grown and evolved into a weeklong series of activi-
ties in the downtown area.
The event, which ran from Feb. 7 to Feb. 14, is organized by the Carlsbad Village Association, a nonprofit organization focused on enhancing the business, cultural, and community aspects of the downtown region.
Chanel Bennett, event coordinator, said the inspiration for Hearts of Carls-
bad Village was “to get people back out in the Village” during COVID, walking around, participating in community events, and shopping at local businesses.
“A lot of the time we judge how busy or how many people are actually hunting for hearts, by how very few parking spots there are,” Bennett said. “We’ve noticed over the last week the
increased business throughout the Village.”
Glass hearts were given away at the Carlsbad Village Farmers Market on Feb. 11, as part of a welcome basket for people who booked stays at certain downtown hotels, and scattered throughout downtown during business hours. The events partnered with various local businesses and organizations, such as Visit Carlsbad.
Valentine’s Day featured a scavenger hunt throughout downtown, which filled up with 265 slots. Individuals, families or teams wandered around the Village looking for answers to questions such as “Find the Village Arcade monument sign. How many businesses are listed?” and “At the New Village Arts Center, a new play is in production. What is it called?”
The scavengers returned, filled out scorecards for a glass heart, and a recap of what they learned with volunteers.
Kandi McKinney, a Carlsbad preschool teacher, and Jillian Andrews, born and raised in Carlsbad, teamed up to fill out their scavenger hunt cards.
“It was fun,” McKinney said. “I found a lot of shops I’d never been in before.”
She said that she chose a clear, blue glass heart because “it reminds me of the ocean.”
“I liked the trivia aspect,” said Andrews. “This was fun because I got to learn.”
The San Diego Blood Bank also had three buses for people donating blood as part of the event. Donors received glass hearts, too.
Sheryl Tecker — who grew up in Carlsbad and still owns a condo in the city — said that she “was so excited” when she found a glass heart in front of a business two years ago as part of the event. This year, she said she wanted to give back by donating her O-negative blood.
“I have the blood that they want,” Tecker said with a laugh. “I’m a universal doner.”
She added that she planned on spending the rest of the day shopping and dining in the Village.
Bennett said that much of the strategy behind the latest iteration of Hearts of Carlsbad Village was to encourage people to explore what makes the area great, but on foot, in order to take in the details and explore businesses they might have otherwise driven past.
“It’s slowing people down a little bit,” she said. “It’s getting people moving, it’s getting people walking around the Village. We’ve even had folks that are like, ‘I walked 3 miles today.’”

“Ocean Breeze is kind of a unicorn. Any project in this area is almost guaranteed to have unmitigable vehicle miles traveled impacts, which can trigger years of review,” McDonald said. “Since it was submitted before the county adopted VMT rules, and it’s fully consistent with the General Plan, it allowed the project to pencil. Most properties wouldn’t get that kind of slam dunk.”
McDonald contrasted the development with the controversial Harmony Grove Village South, a proposed 453-unit residential project near Escondido and San Marcos, which saw a torrent of criticism from residents, neighbors and conservationists, including hundreds of emails to Desmond’s office and two environmental lawsuits.
For Ocean Breeze Ranch, he recalled little community opposition.
“Honestly, I didn’t hear a lot about this project from the community,” McDonald said. “Almost every project gets opposition for some reason, but this one really didn’t. There was no appeal, no lawsuit — almost 400 units in pristine Bonsall. Across the board, it just seemed like the right project, in the right location, with the right team.”
McDonald acknowledged the county’s aging infrastructure and the challenges facing the Bonsall Unified School District, which has struggled to secure funding for campus expansions and classroom upgrades.
While the tension between growth and infrastructure may create “growing pains,” McDonald said he largely trusts the process to sort it out.
“I have a lot of faith in the process when it comes to infrastructure — water, power, sewage, roads
and traffic — that’s fleshed out really well through the permitting process, even if it can be frustrating for residents,” McDonald said. “Plus, we need the housing, even market-rate homes. We are at such a deficit that nearly 400 units make a nice dent.”
Future growth
Ocean Breeze Ranch will include multiple neighborhoods with single-family homes ranging from roughly 2,700 to 3,400 square feet, along with parks, trails and preserved open space. The site offers access to Interstate 15 and state Route 76, the main east-west corridor through the community.
The project comes amid rising home prices in Bonsall. According to Redfin, the median home sale price in the area reached about $1.2 million in December, markedly higher than a year earlier.
The development is located near the San Luis Rey River in the uplands of the Peninsular Ranges. The area is bordered by Fallbrook to the north, Oceanside to the west, Valley Center to the east and Vista to the south.
The terrain of steep hills and valleys has long supported agriculture, equestrian uses and estate-style homes.
Near the project site, county crews are working on the new Bonsall Community Park, the community’s first designated public park. The 63-acre site, part of the San Luis Rey River Park Master Plan, is expected to open in summer 2026 and will include sports fields, playgrounds, picnic areas and walking paths.
Bonsall has about 4,300 residents across roughly 1,600 households, according to Census data. The majority of residents — median age is 44, with 44% between ages 60 and 69 — have long favored a quiet, rural lifestyle, with homes spread across hillsides rather than tightly clustered in neighborhoods.
The county’s land-use plan, the Bonsall Community Plan, groups a majority of higher-density housing and commercial services in two defined village areas along SR-76, near Mission Road, Camino del Rey and Old River Road to the west, and Olive Hill Road to the east.
County planners have preserved Bonsall’s pastoral
setting by discouraging urban-style development outside the village boundaries and maintaining open space, with homes scattered across spacious parcels ranging from 1 to 20 acres or more.
While Ocean Breeze Ranch represents a shift from the multi-acre lots and estate-style homes typical of Bonsall, Richard Douglass, Southern California division president for Trumark, believes the project strikes a balance between urban housing density and the area’s rural character.
“Bonsall has always been a unique enclave— it’s managed to stay rural while everything around it has changed. And so, to have any development in Bonsall at all is remarkable,” Douglass said. “The preservation of open space (at Ocean Breeze Ranch) is unlike anything I’ve seen in California development. We’re preserving well over 900 acres, thanks to an unprecedented agreement with state and federal resource agencies. As developers, we’re used to environmental mitigation, but this is on an entirely different scale.”
Douglass, at the helm
of Trumark for the past 10 years, said the project also includes innovative revegetation efforts, such as harvesting seeds from native plants and replanting them on site.
The homes will be conventional single-family homes with varied lot sizes, floor plans, and prices. The average lot is about 5,000 square feet, which is considered large by modern California standards, Douglass said. The Ocean Breeze lots are relatively small, however, when compared with existing Bonsall properties, which range from 43,560 square feet (one acre) to 217,800 square feet (five acres) or more.
While the subdivision will be noticeably different from traditional neighborhoods, an operating horse ranch that trains thoroughbreds and keeps livestock will remain on-site, helping preserve an overall rural atmosphere that has long defined the unincorporated community, Douglass said.
“It almost looks like Tuscany — that’s how untouched it’s been,” he said. “When you stand out there, you feel how unique that environment really is.”
Growing pains
As new homes are built, locals have braced themselves for the inevitable “growing pains” — particularly regarding public infrastructure — that accompany large residential developments.
Larissa Anderson, president of the Bonsall Unified School District board of trustees and chair of the Bonsall Community Sponsor Group, an advisory board to the county Board of Supervisors on local land-use and planning issues, described Bonsall as a semi-rural community, where “residents are understandably wary when larger projects are proposed.”
“Many people choose to live here specifically because it is a semi-rural, small community, and proposals that introduce higher density often trigger concerns about road safety, school capacity, evacuation and preservation of local identity,” Anderson said, noting that large clustered subdivisions represent a clear departure from past development.
According to Anderson, the aspects of Bonsall most vulnerable to change right now include farmland, open space, wildlife habitat and “that small-town feel.”
In her view, Bonsall is at risk of reaching a “tipping point,” when development accelerates beyond infrastructure capacity and daily
commutes become congested.
“Ocean Breeze Ranch alone may not define that tipping point, but it contributes to a broader cumulative shift that deserves careful, long-range consideration,” Anderson said. “Our roads, utilities and educational facilities were never designed for this scale of development.”
In addition to Ocean Breeze, there are other residential projects in various stages of completion in Bonsall, including Bonsall Oaks, formerly the Polo Club at Valley Vista, a 442-acre development along Gopher Canyon Road that will add up to 255 homes, including a gated luxury neighborhood branded as The Havens.
Jennifer Haider, vice chair of the Bonsall Community Sponsor Group and a former real estate broker in North Carolina for 25 years, has long echoed concerns about the influx of new homes and the poor condition of roads and schools in Bonsall.
“There’s too much hitting North County right now, and we just aren’t prepared for it,” Haider said. “Where are we going to send those kids to school? Fix the roads, build the schools, and then let’s talk about everything else.”
Both Anderson and Haider credited Trumark with adhering to the county land-use plan, preserving green space, supporting an equestrian staging area and offering more than required in school fees, calling those steps meaningful.
However, Anderson noted that current zoning and approval processes review projects individually and often miss the cumulative effects on infrastructure, community character and public services.
“As a result, projects can comply with the code while still undermining the longterm vision for Bonsall,” Anderson said.
In addition to large housing projects, local planners have pointed to a wave of county-level policy shifts — including expanded allowances for accessory dwelling units and the ability to sell them as condominiums, changes to cannabis regulations and zoning that encourages clustered housing — that may produce outcomes the community plan did not foresee, gradually pushing Bonsall and other unincorporated areas in a more urban direction..
“People look out here and say, ‘Oh, there’s land — let’s build.’ Or, ‘Let’s put the

cannabis locations there.’ Hold on. Let’s take a minute and figure this out,” Haider said.
Country roads
Questions remain about transportation and emergency access for hundreds of new homes in the Bonsall pipeline and for existing residences. People want specifics, not general promises, Anderson said.
During the review process, the Bonsall Community Sponsor Group raised concerns about traffic along Camino del Rey and Lilac Road, suggesting the construction of a new bridge over the San Luis Rey River.
According to Douglass, however, county traffic engineers determined that Ocean Breeze Ranch does “not create a direct traffic impact to the Camino del Rey bridge segment,” which was originally constructed as a golf cart underpass.
“The bridge’s age, rightof-way constraints and the cost of structural feasibility studies make widening a complex undertaking,” Douglass said, adding that while the project showed no impact, Trumark worked with the county to dedicate part of its transportation fees toward a formal bridge study that will consider widening, reconstruction or replacement.
Douglass said the project also includes major road upgrades, including installing half-width right-of-way improvements along the project’s West Lilac Road frontage and completing full intersection upgrades at Old Highway 395 and Lilac Road. Trumark is also providing upgrades and new facilities for the Rainbow Municipal Water District.
Along with traffic un-
ease, emergency access — especially for wildfire evacuation — is one of the community’s most urgent needs as Ocean Breeze Ranch moves forward, given Bonsall’s narrow, poorly maintained roads, Anderson and Haider said.
“Many Bonsall neighborhoods rely on narrow, single-access roads that were never designed to support high traffic volumes,” Anderson said.
Haider, who lives in Bonsall, said her neighborhood has one way in and one way out, which could make it difficult to leave quickly in an emergency.
“These are country roads and they get tricky,” Haider said.
Local wildfire worries still linger from the 2017 Lilac Fire, a wind-driven blaze near Old Highway 395 and Dulin Road that ripped through Bonsall and neighboring Fallbrook, burned about 4,100 acres, destroyed 157 structures and forced roughly 10,000 residents from their homes, according to Cal Fire.
And the threat of wildfire has only grown since then. The North County Fire Protection District, serving Fallbrook, Bonsall, Rainbow and the surrounding communities, has reported more wildfire calls recently due to longer, harsher seasons.
Last year, Bonsall and the surrounding area experienced a number of brush fires, including the Mission Fire, a 21-acre blaze near SR-76 and South Mission Road, an 80-acre fire (also called the Lilac Fire) and the 17-acre Pala Fire.
“People want to know how residents will get out during a wildfire or other emergency,” Anderson said..
Schools
In terms of public infra-
structure, schools remain a top concern for residents.
Bonsall Unified School District, spanning roughly 88 square miles from Camp Pendleton to Pala, serves about 2,231 students in San Diego County, about 70% of whom are minorities, and operates five schools with a student-teacher ratio of roughly 22-to-1.
Prior to the opening of Bonsall High School in 2014, the school district had struggled for decades to secure funding and land for a new secondary school campus. For years, most high school students in Bonsall attended Fallbrook High School, which was operating above capacity, according to county documents.
More housing means more students, and without expansion, the district will lag behind growth, Anderson said, which will intensify other infrastructure issues, such as traffic and public safety.
“At present, the district does not have sufficient school facilities to comfortably absorb a significant
influx of new students without additional campuses or major expansion,” Anderson said.
From the developer’s perspective, Douglass said he recognized concerns about the potential lack of resources for schools, noting that educational infrastructure was “one of the more focused elements” of planning.
Trumark reached an agreement with the Bonsall Unified School District to pre-fund school-related impact payments, Douglass said, contributing more than required to support the district’s needs sooner rather than later.
“We didn’t want to wait until the last home was built to support the schools,” Douglass said, noting that the five neighborhoods will open in phases rather than all at once. “We wanted to make sure the schools were solid and prepared to house the students we generated.”
After discussions with the Bonsall Unified officials, Trumark also voluntarily agreed to improve student drop-off and pickup near
local schools, a joint effort to improve circulation and safety for future students and families, Douglass said.
But for school officials, development impact fees aren’t enough.
“The community wants clear answers about how Ocean Breeze Ranch and other large-scale developers can further support construction of new educational facilities — particularly at the secondary level — to accommodate anticipated enrollment growth, rather than relying solely on impact fees that historically fall short of covering true capacity needs,” Anderson said.
Securing funding from traditional avenues has been an ongoing challenge for Bonsall Unified. The school district has had several bond measures fail in the last decade, including Measure DD (2016) and Measure EE (2018).
In 2024, voters rejected a third, Measure V, a $59 million general obligation bond that would have funded new classrooms, campus
repairs, safety upgrades, and modernized career technical education facilities across the district.
Voters have cited concerns about higher tax rates, cost-of-living increases, a lack of trust and clarity about the actual taxpayer impact, and the failure of some districts to maintain existing facilities.
According to Anderson, the bond failures are not due to a lack of local support for public education, but rather the difficulty of aligning timing, cost and feasibility across such a large district amid land-use decisions beyond its control.
Since developer impact fees alone “do not cover the true cost of building schools,” the district is currently exploring alternative funding strategies and planning for school facilities with community input.
“As Ocean Breeze Ranch is built as planned, the next critical step is establishing realistic funding pathways and delivery mechanisms for new school facilities,” Anderson said.
Trumark expects construction to begin in late summer 2026, with the first home closings projected for early 2027 and buildout anticipated by 2029.
As the project moves forward, Anderson said residents recognize that change is coming under state and county housing mandates and “development pressure in Bonsall is not optional.” The debate, she said, is about how that change is shaped.
“Ultimately, responsible growth is less about meeting numerical housing targets and more about maintaining a livable balance between housing, infrastructure, environmental stewardship, and quality of life over time,” Anderson said.
DOZENS OF scrapers and bulldozers grade the 134-acre Ocean Breeze Ranch site in Bonsall as construction begins on a 381-home residential development. “When you stand out there, you feel how unique that environment really is,” said Richard Douglass, Southern California division president for Trumark, the project developer.

REGION — Authorities have publicly identified three men who lost their lives this month in San Diego-area traffic accidents.
Two of the roadway fatalities took place on Feb. 8, according to the county Medical Examiner's Office. At about 9:15 p.m. that day, 39-year-old Fernando Herrera of San Diego lost control of the motorcycle he was riding on Viejas Boulevard in Descanso, sending the two-wheeler veering off the roadway and into a fence at Merigan Fire Road.
Herrera died at the scene of the accident. A state park ranger was chasing Herrera at the time of the deadly crash, officials said.
Tickets for The Flower Fields must be purchased online in advance. Admission prices are $27 for adults, $25 for seniors (60+) and military, $17 for children aged 3 to 10, and free for children under 3.

That same day, Quincey Ockletree of San Marcos got into a collision with several vehicles while driving north on Interstate 15 north of state Route 76 in Fallbrook.
Paramedics took Ockletree to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, where he died the next morning.
On Feb. 7, a collision on a street near Sweetwater Reservoir mortally injured a 76-year-old man. David Blaisdell of San Diego was riding in a sedan that crashed into an SUV on Jamacha Boulevard at Pointe Parkway in La Presa shortly before 7:30 a.m. Blaisdell was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

Breakfast Republic serves up morning magic
From coffee cups to kicking off the day, mornings demand a proper breakfast. When Frank Mangio and I visited the Encinitas location of Breakfast Republic, it quickly became clear that this is far more than a neighborhood breakfast stop. It is a full-scale celebration of the most important meal of the day and much more.
With locations stretching from East Village and Liberty Station to Culver City and Echo Park, Breakfast Republic has built a loyal following across Southern California. Honors such as San Diego Magazine’s Reader’s Choice Best Breakfast and recognition from the California Restaurant Association confirm what regulars already know.
At Encinitas, assistant manager Ben Calderon and regional manager Chris Spayde guided us through a tasting of breakfast classics, brunch favorites, specialty coffee and a lively bar program. The location balances comfort with playful design, creating an energetic yet relaxed atmosphere. It works equally well for breakfast, brunch and private gatherings.
Spayde, a San Diego native with over 15 years of hospitality experience, began as an entry-level cook while attending culinary school at the Art Institute of California-San Diego. After roles in catering, hotel leadership and as an executive chef, he joined Rise & Shine Hospitality Group in 2023, bringing operational depth to the brand. Spayde shared that their goal is for guests to “come in for an experience that makes the start of their day great.”
Breakfast Republic is the brainchild of founder and CEO Johan Engman, whose Rise & Shine Hospitality Group has grown into one of Southern California’s most recognizable hospitality companies. Born in Ös-
tersund, Sweden, Engman moved to San Diego at 16 and worked his way from dishwasher to server before opening Fig Tree Cafe in 2008 with $45,000.
For three years, he balanced restaurant losses with a corporate accounting job until the concept turned profitable.
The idea for Breakfast Republic emerged during a rain-soaked trip to Borneo, where Engman envisioned a breakfast-focused concept rooted in classics elevated through ingredient quality, strong branding, and a touch of humor. When the first location opened in North Park in 2015, the playful décor and inventive menu struck a chord. Today, Rise & Shine includes multiple concepts along with complementary ventures such as OX Coffee and Sunny Side Accounting.
After several hours of pickleball, I welcomed Ben’s recommendation of the Jurassic Bloody Mary, crowned with thick-cut Jurassic pork bacon marinated and baked with paprika, brown sugar and a hint of cayenne. Alongside it came a traditional Bloody Mary and a Prosecco Mimosa crafted from all-natural Prosecco imported from Domus Vini in Verona, Italy, a vineyard with more than four centuries of winemaking history.
Frank opted for the bottomless BR Blend Coffee, roasted locally by OX Coffee Roasters and Café de Olla,

and infused with cinnamon and piloncillo.
Our first plates were the Portuguese Linguisa Sausage omelet and the California Breakfast Burrito. The omelet melded applewood smoked bacon, Linguisa sausage, tomato, green bell pepper, garlic, herbs and house hot sauce. The burrito was filled with carne asada, three eggs, guacamole, house potatoes, bacon, cheddar cheese, sour cream and salsa, served with Mexican rice and black beans.
The eggs deserve special mention. Breakfast Republic uses Vital Farms pasture-raised eggs, and the richness is noticeable. It reflects Engman’s insistence on quality ingredients.
When I saw Tres Leches Pancakes on the menu, there was no hesitation. Vanilla pancakes topped with but-
tercream, fresh strawberries, tres leches syrup, and pistachio brittle were outstanding and offered as part of BR’s vegan selections.
At Ben’s suggestion, we sampled the San Diego Benedict with smoked turkey, avocado and cilantro. The hollandaise was rich and creamy, and paired with a side of Jurassic pork bacon, the dish reached another level.
Brunch selections followed. The Cluck Burger, stacked with smashed beef patties, applewood-smoked bacon, American cheese, a sunny-side-up egg and thousand-island spread on brioche, delivered indulgent comfort. The grilled turkey sandwich layered avocado, cheddar and jack cheeses, grilled tomato and roasted garlic aioli on sourdough for a balanced bite.
Vegetarian and gluten-free chilaquiles reinforced the menu’s versatility as Breakfast Republic transitions seamlessly from morning fare to brunch.
What ultimately sets Breakfast Republic and Rise & Shine Hospitality Group apart is leadership rooted in community. During the pandemic, the company served nearly 9,000 meals to laid-off workers in San Diego. Last year, the Encinitas location hosted its 14th annual Christmas Dinner for 300 military personnel and provided toys for their children.
As we concluded our visit, a nearby family celebrated a 20th birthday in the private dining room, which accommodates up to 30 guests. It was a remind-
er that Breakfast Republic functions as a gathering place as much as a restaurant.
Whether starting the day with specialty coffee, diving into inventive breakfast classics, enjoying craft cocktails at brunch, or hosting a private celebration, Breakfast Republic delivers quality ingredients, thoughtful execution, and strong value in a setting designed for community. In a region filled with breakfast contenders, it continues to raise the bar one perfectly cooked pasture-raised egg at a time. Get more information at breakfastrepublic.com.

Beet goes on: Ideas for this versatile root veggie
jano’s garden
Harvesting beets is like finding an unexpected underground treasure. These magenta wonders have been growing in our garden’s soil for three months, and finally made their arrival in February.
As they push through the dirt, we are collecting recipes that will showcase our favorite root.
In the Carlsbad Senior Center community garden, we now have over a dozen plants to be harvested. Many of the senior students are also fantastic cooks, and we share our expertise to create memorable meals.
tizer in my catering business years ago. The beet salad is placed on individual slices of endive, the perfect handful for a party. The salad recipe can also be served in a large, decorative glass bowl as a main dish for a casual lunch.
My favorite beet salad
Although seemingly simple, this salad becomes the star when you choose only the best ingredients. Shop for the best quality balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and aged blue cheese. If your family is not fond of the strong flavor of blue cheese, substitute a local goat cheese.
Ingredients:
• 4-5 large beets (look for several colors if available)
• Two heads of endive or romaine lettuce
• One bag smallest spring greens
• One bunch sliced green onions
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• ½-¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
• Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Process:
What can you do with a beet?
Baked or steamed, pickled or roasted, the possibilities are endless. I am featuring my favorite upscale Roast Beet, Endive and Blue Cheese Salad, which I served as an appe-
• Large decorative bowl or long serving platter
Homemade vinaigrette:
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
• 3-4 cloves roasted garlic (roast in oven beforehand)
In a large bowl, whisk together first five vinaigrette ingredients. Gradually add olive oil until emulsified. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place in one pint glass Ball jar with lid until ready to use.
How to roast beets: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove greens

from beets. Wash well, and remove root section and stem. Place whole beets on foil, drizzle with olive oil, sea salt and ground pepper. Wrap individually in foil, place on a baking sheet and bake until soft (30-60 minutes). Allow to cool by placing in ice water. After cool to the touch, slip skins off and slice or dice into small pieces. Refrigerate until ready to use. Just before serving, place beets in a small glass bowl, toss with vinaigrette and sliced green onions. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve in the following fashion.
Assembly: Main dish: Using a large, decorative glass salad bowl, place individual slices of endive in a circle on inside edges of the bowl. Sprinkle a handful of spring greens in the center. Spoon the beet mixture on top of the spring greens, leaving endive standing on sides of bowl. Sprinkle with generous amounts of blue cheese just before serving.
Appetizer: If you are hosting a party, use the same recipe to make individual servings on endive slices. Place on a decorative tray, and serve to guests

who will surely say, “And you grew these yourself?”
Expand your beet root repertoire
If beets are now part of your menu, try pickling them with a recipe from the Ball cookbook, which will teach you how to preserve everything, including root vegetables.
Another of my favorite cold weather preparations is Beet & Cabbage Borscht. Instructions for making this hearty soup can be found at jennycancook. com, and you will feel as if you are transported to a Jewish kitchen in New York!
I sampled this soup in a traditional Jewish delicatessen in New York City, and have been searching for a recipe for years.

POWAY — Long before Greg “Grug” Cameron became known for bold free solos on Yosemite National Park granite and benchmark offwidth climbs in Canada, he was a teenager from Poway learning to move over stone at Mount Woodson.
Cameron, whose climbing career spanned more than five decades, died Feb. 8 in Denver, Colo., from complications of injuries suffered in a fall last November. He was 69.
His North County beginnings remained central to a life that ultimately carried him to some of North America’s most storied walls.
“Greg was one in a million and he’s left his mark, that’s for sure,” said his sister-in-law, Sheila Cameron. “He wasn’t an ordinary person. He was so far beyond that. He was extraordinary, and that’s why I want people to know about the life he lived.”

MUSIC GRANT
Prebys Foundation, as part of its Healing Through Arts and Nature initiative, gave Villa Musica a $77,000 renewal grant. Villa Musica, based near the UC San Diego campus, plans to use the funds to expand its Musical Biographies program.
Born Aug. 18, 1956, Cameron grew up in Poway’s Del Norte area in a household of 11 children, all of whom attended Poway High School. He graduated in 1974, captained the water polo team and discovered climbing through a school mountaineering program led by teacher Gary Hepler.
Family members said the boulders of Mount Woodson became his training ground. The granite above town shaped a climber who would become known for his comfort in offwidth cracks, a punishing style that requires arm bars, knee locks and fullbody technique.
He climbed with a local group known as the Poway Mountaineers, honing his skills close to home before moving on to the heart of the Sierra Nevadas. That progression — local stone to legendary walls — became a pattern repeated throughout his life. By the late 1970s, Cam-
before his accident, Cameron camped in Yosemite with siblings and roughly a dozen nieces and nephews — including a 4-monthold — and spent the trip teaching many of them how to climb. He had recently returned from another outing to the Mount Rushmore region.
death by his parents, Loretta and Donald Cameron.
The accident that led to his death occurred on Nov. 2 in Eldorado Canyon State Park. While Cameron was leading a pitch, his rope ran over a rock edge, broke, and he fell about 70 feet, according to reports at the time.
eron had established himself on difficult Southern California routes and began tackling major Yosemite walls. During a brief but influential period of free solo climbing, he ascended formations including Sentinel Rock and the Lost Arrow Chimney without ropes.
In 1979, he traveled to Squamish, British Columbia, where he made the
first free ascent of Pipeline on sight and alone, a climb that later became a benchmark for wide-crack specialists.
Despite the seriousness of those achievements, relatives said he sought fulfillment more than fame.
“He lived to climb and he loved it,” Sheila Cameron said.
The passion endured. In September, only weeks
Away from the cliff, Cameron earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in geology from San Diego State University and later worked as a software developer. Friends described him as thoughtful and inquisitive, as ready to talk about literature as he was to analyze a rock face.
At home, relatives said he remained devoted to his wife, Elizabeth; his daughters, Mary and Taylor; and his stepdaughter, Grace. He also stayed closely connected to a large extended family that includes 16 nieces and nephews and seven grand-nieces and grand-nephews.
He was preceded in
For many local climbers, his journey holds particular weight. Mount Woodson continues to produce strong athletes, but few from Poway left such an imprint on the sport’s formative years.
Celebrations of life are planned in Colorado and San Diego. Friends and family expect the gatherings to focus less on risk than on long routes, shared days outside and a lifetime spent moving upward.
From backyard granite to the continent’s biggest walls, Cameron returned again and again to the same simple act. He found rock, climbed it and kept climbing.
Pets of the Week
BIRDIE is the Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s pet of the week. She is a 2-year-old, 54-pound shepherd mix.
HEALTH CENTER EXPANSION
TrueCare, a nonprofit community health center, added on to its San Marcos campus. The health center grew from 1,800 square feet to more than 4,300. The expansion included four additional exam rooms, a community room and a larger lobby to accommodate se-
“In partnership with the UCSD Shiley-Marcos Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, this program was designed to bring together people with all forms of dementia, their care-givers, and family in a unique multi-sensorial experience that centers around music and memory,” said Dr. Fiona Chatwin, executive and artistic director of Villa Musica. “Participants work with Villa Musica teaching artists, care partners, and extended family members to identify music that inspires memory; memory of an important occasion, an event, an era, and then design and decorate a personal memory book that brings their musical choices to life.”
niors and their caregivers. TrueCare has health centers in San Diego and Riverside counties and treats nearly 70,000 patients each year.
CHILDREN'S BOOK
Carrie Dawn, a retired preschool teacher of 35 years, will read her new book, “Tales From Wiggleberry” at local libraries throughout March in celebration of Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Dawn will read her story at the Carmel Valley Library on March 3 at 4 p.m.; Rancho Santa Fe Library on March 18 at 10:30 a.m.; and Coronado Public Library on March 28 as part of the San Diego Writers Festival. “Reading is a fun, magical way to transport us to different worlds and use our imaginations,” Dawn said.
CUDDLE THERAPY
In partnership with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego, the Helen Woodward Animal Center celebrated Valentine's Day with Pet Encounter Therapy (PET). Throughout the week, the animal center’s pets provided soft nuzzles and a special heart-shaped flower in an effort to give joy and healing to young patients battling serious, often life-threatening conditions, and their families. “There is so much work that goes into fighting a serious illness, for both the child and its family,” said Robin Cohen, Helen Woodward Animal Center’s PET manager. “Bringing a few moments of downtime,
laughter, healing and peace to these individuals is something that therapy animals do so well.”
SUPPORTING VETERANS
San Marcos-based Wounded Warrior Homes held a fundraising event on Feb. 4 at Pacific Social in San Diego to further support its Women Veterans Center. The center provides a safe environment tailored to the needs of women veterans, including offering short-term housing and trauma-informed mental health support. Over 500 veterans and families are registered through the food pantry, and WWH provided beds to female veterans on 240 nights between September and December 2025.

Legislative efforts have sought to clarify the legal treatment of gold and silver in certain transactions, expanding their potential use alongside traditional currency rather than replacing it. No official state-issued circulating gold paper currency currently exists, and private bullion products like Goldbacks operate independently of government issuance.
