After nearly 50 years, CEO Harper retires

By Leo Place

DEL MAR

— After nearly five decades in the proverbial saddle, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club CEO Joe Harper will be retiring as the racetrack enters a new chapter, the club announced on Friday.

Harper, 83, said he is ready to transition out of day-to-day CEO responsibilities but will remain on the DMTC Board as a director. He will also assume the title of CEO Emeritus later this year.

DMTC President Josh Rubinstein will succeed Harper as CEO at the beginning of 2027, the club

announced July 24.

“I am really proud to have been a part of the long and incredibly rich history of Del Mar,” Harper said. “This is a special place that transcends horse racing; it’s a unique mix of sport, lifestyle and culture. I have so many great memories about the people I’ve met and worked with and the times I’ve spent here that Del Mar is a part of me. But I think it is now

time for me to step into a different role and I am happy the Board has honored me with the CEO Emeritus position where I can continue to be an advisor while also continuing to serve as a Director.”

Harper joined Del Mar in 1977 as the general manager, following six years of overseeing racing at Santa Anita as executive vice president at the Oak Tree Racing Association.

In his years at Del Mar, Harper has overseen many hallmark moments in the racetrack’s history, including the reconstruction of

the original 1930s-era grandstand in 1990 and the introduction of the Grade I Pacific Classic in 1991.

Under Harper’s stewardship, Del Mar also hosted the Breeder’s World Cup for the first time in 2017, and has hosted it again since then in 2021, 2024, and 2025.

DMTC Board Chairman David Batchelder said the board is grateful for Harper’s years of leadership.

“Joe Harper’s name and presence have been synonymous with

Shields, 37, was known for her love of the outdoors and was a fixture in the skateboarding and e-skating community. Shields was found on April 9 along the popular Pine Ridge hiking trail near Sykes Hot Springs in the Ventana Wilderness area of Los Padres National Forest. Hikers reported finding her face down and unclothed in a small body of water.

The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office determined the cause and manner of death after a comprehensive forensic examination, an analysis of Shields’ medical and health history, and information obtained from her family during the investigation.

“Throughout the course of the investigation, detectives worked closely with the Coroner’s Office to thoroughly examine all available evidence surrounding Ms. Shields’ death,” the Sheriff-Coroner’s Office said.

TURN TO SHIELDS ON 16

Family continues search for missing O’side nurse

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — Family and friends of an Oceanside woman who has been missing for more than three weeks are continuing to search areas of Palomar Mountain and are asking the public to share any information about her whereabouts.

Angelica Brophy, a 44-year-old wife, mother and registered nurse, has been missing since July 6. Oceanside Police detectives attempted to ping her phone, but it did not provide a location, indicating it was either turned off or had lost power.

Her car was found three days later, on July 9, in a parking lot near the Doane Pond trailhead. According to FindAngelicaBrophy. com, a website dedicated to finding her, Brophy’s husband, Brent Brophy, used her old phone and saw her Apple Watch’s last known location at the trailhead.

Brent Brophy then notified his wife’s brother, who was already searching nearby. Angelica Brophy’s brother found the car and alerted a park employee.

According to her family, Brophy frequently hiked trails in the state park.

Authorities said Brophy was last seen on surveillance cameras at Harrah’s Resort in Valley Center around 3:30 p.m. on July 6. Park records showed she entered Palomar Mountain State Park about 50 minutes later.

Crews from California State Parks, the San Diego

County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue team, and the San Diego Harbor Police Department searched the 1,862-acre state park between July 9 and July 14. Teams searched on foot over multiple days while dive teams repeatedly searched a pond.

Despite the extensive effort, authorities found no sign of her.

On July 20, Oceanside Police spokesperson Gina Avalos said the department had no new information but confirmed that organized ground searches had ended for now while the investigation remains ongoing.

Martin Fabregas, one of Brophy’s brothers, shared in a July 22 Facebook update that there were at least three additional areas on the mountain the family planned to continue searching.

In another update on July 27, Fabregas said the family had not started a GoFundMe or any other fundraising campaign to support the search for Brophy. He cautioned anyone who came across such a post that it was not approved by the family.

“Our priority is to bring Angelica back,” Fabregas continued. “As we enter the fourth week of her disappearance, we once again make this plea for any information that will help us find her.”

Alayna Johnson, Brophy’s close friend and fellow registered nurse at Kaiser Permanente San Marcos, said she spent 15 hours last

ing to record their path on AllTrails, Caltopo, or the like, so we can import it into a map and keep better track of what has been searched,” Johnson said.

Johnson said they are also working with outside investigators to retrace Brophy’s steps and search for missed clues.

that could help locate her. He also said she may have been carrying a backpack with pink pineapples on a blue background.

Brophy is believed to have been wearing black leggings, a light gray quarter-zip pullover and white running shoes. Anyone with information is asked to call the Oceanside Police Tip Line at 760-435-4730, email angelicabrophysearchproject@gmail.com or submit a tip at FindAngelicaBrophy. com.

week searching for her and will be up there again this week as well. She continues to coordinate with her family’s efforts and search for leads.

“Some of our search efforts are repeating areas that have been done, essentially to check it off for ourselves, while others are focusing on areas that haven’t been searched even though we don’t necessarily believe she would have made it out there,” Johnson explained.

Johnson said a number of other volunteers are searching on their own as well.

“We ask anyone search-

Johnson said she has been devastated since her friend has gone missing and has started journaling everything she wants to say to her in person.

“Decisions feel impossible because nothing feels right,” Johnson said. “In everything, I keep Angelica at the forefront of my mind and attempt to navigate this process from a place of love and honor for the beautiful soul she is.”

Signs about Brophy’s disappearance have been posted throughout Palomar Mountain, including in the state park and at nearby Cleveland National Forest campgrounds.

Fabregas urged people to check their vehicle dashcams, hiking or camping photos, and anything else

f you’re driving past San Marcos High School, you can see huge metal letters on its east wall that spell out the name “Knights.” The school’s teams are, of course, the Knights of San Marcos.

If you’re exploring the narrow streets of Venice, you can find, not far from the basilica that houses the remains of Saint Mark the Evangelist, the current headquarters of l’Associazione dei Cavalieri di San Marco, in English: the Order of the Knights of San Marcos.

Maybe someday, as part of an enriching overseas experience, San Marcos High School’s baseball team will visit them and play a friendly game.

This duplication of names may seem like a glitch in the matrix, but there’s a simpler explanation.

Over the centuries, the word “knights” has been used in so many different places and in so many different ways that it has acquired many different meanings.

After sorting through several meanings of “knights” from the fields of history, legend, current events and fantasy, the use of “knights” as a team name for a California high school will be considered.

A good place to start might be Britain in 1066, when the conquering Normans began formalizing the feudal system. It worked like this: The king owned all the land and granted portions of it to high-ranking noblemen and clerics, who then granted smaller fiefdoms to lesser nobles, such as knights.

Peasants, many of them serfs who were bound to the land by law, worked these fiefdoms. The knights’ job was to protect the kingdom, collect the king’s taxes and enforce the king’s laws. (They could also be asked to participate in Crusades.)

It may sound harsh, but in a way, the king and high-ranking nobles were the enslavers, the serfs were the enslaved people, and the knights were the overseers who cracked the whip. Feudalism wasn’t equitable.

By 1607, when Jamestown was founded, serfdom in Britain had ended, but almost all the wealth and power, and about three-quarters of the cultivated land, remained firmly in the hands of the nobles and the church. Most people were still poor tenant farmers and laborers who had to work the land of the upper classes.

Unsurprisingly, hundreds of thousands of British subjects went to America hoping for land of their own and a way out from under the thumb of the landed gentry. Many found both. The American Revolution marked a break with the British hierarchy, notwithstanding chattel slavery.

When the founders included the phrase “No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States” in the Constitution, they didn’t just mean “No Kings!” They also meant “No Knights!”

While the colonization of Mexico was quite different, there were similarities.

Most of the viceroys of New Spain were knights. Many of them were members of the Order of the Knights of Santiago, as were the conquistadors Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro. (Santiago Matamoros was St. James, the Moor Killer.)

In those days, the Order was very strict about the purity of its knights’ blood (limpieza de sangre), admitting only nobles with no Jewish or Moorish ancestors and those who had never been found guilty of heresy by the Spanish Inquisition. (Interestingly, as part of the effort to co-opt Indigenous royals, a few mestizo descendants of Moctezuma were admitted to the Order.)

The viceroys implemented and oversaw the

operations of both the encomienda and hacienda institutions, in which lesser nobles, the hidalgos and hacendados, exploited the Indigenous and mestizo people of Mexico for centuries, first through forced labor, then through debt peonage. Like the viceroys, these lesser nobles were generally of Spanish origin. This essentially racist feudal exploitation of poor Mexicans only ended in the 20th century due to the efforts of revolutionary leaders like Emiliano Zapata.

Article 12 of the Mexican Constitution is clear: “No titles of nobility … shall be granted in the United Mexican States.”

So, Mexico was also fed up with knights.

King Arthur’s knights may be the most famous of all, but the Arthurian legend is almost entirely fiction. While there may have been an Arthur, the historical record suggests he was probably a Romano-Briton warlord fighting in the ultimately unsuccessful effort to hold back the invading Anglo-Saxons. The fanciful tales of the “Knights of the Round Table” with wizards and magic were made up centuries later, primarily to amuse the aristocracy.

In the world today, there are fewer knights, and knighthood is very different. In the U.K., you’ll find Sir Mick Jagger and Sir Elton John. In the United States, three American presidents have been granted honorary knighthoods by the British Crown: Eisenhower, Reagan and Bush (H.W., not W.).

In Mexico, the only recent order was the Knights Templar (Caballeros Templarios), a drug cartel in Michoacán that was broken up less than 10 years ago with the help of groups of armed civilian vigilantes called autodefensas. The Order of the Knights of San Marcos, the one in Venice, is actually more of a service organization, sort of like the Knights of Columbus or the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

Most knights today exist only in the realm of fantasy. There’s the Dark

We’ve seen an increase in reports from victims who receive a phone call from someone claiming to be a fraud investigator from their bank or even claiming to be working alongside the FBI. The caller sounds professional, knows banking terminology, and creates an overwhelming sense of urgency.

The scammer tells the victim that dishonest bank employees are stealing customer funds and that the victim’s money is in immediate danger.

To “protect” their savings and help with the supposed investigation, the victim is instructed to withdraw all of their money and deposit it into a new account that the bad actor has conveniently established. Victims are often warned not to tell bank employees or family members because doing so would “compromise the investigation.”

It is all a lie.

The moment that money is transferred, it is under the scammer’s control, and in many cases it’s gone forever.

Law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, do not ask people to move their money as part of an investigation. Legitimate banks do not direct customers to withdraw cash or transfer their life savings into another account to protect it. And no real fraud investigator will ever instruct you to keep their directions secret from your family or your bank.

Scammers know that fear clouds judgment. They pressure victims into acting before they have time to think, verify the story, or speak with someone they trust. Many victims are embarrassed after realizing they were deceived, but these criminals are skilled manipulators who use sophisticated social engineering to exploit even the most cautious individuals.

You can protect yourself and your loved ones by remembering a few simple rules:

• Never move your money because of an unsolicited phone call.

• Hang up and call your bank using the number printed on the back of your debit or credit card.

• Never trust a phone number provided by the caller.

• If someone tells you to keep a banking matter secret, consider it a major warning sign.

Go, Knights! Beware the fake bank investigator

together local, state, and federal partners to disrupt these criminal networks and hold offenders accountable. But prevention remains our strongest defense.

If you or someone you know receives a suspicious call from a supposed bank investigator, stop the conversation immediately. Verify the information independently, and if you believe you have been targeted or victimized, report it to your local law enforcement agency and your bank as soon as possible.

The best way to outsmart a scammer is to stop, hang up and tell someone. Never let fear make financial decisions for you.

Olivenhain town hall tackles road safety, growth

By Leo Place

ENCINITAS — Olivenhain residents and city officials held a community discussion about growth and development, traffic and road safety on Wednesday at the neighborhood meeting hall.

The Olivenhain Town Council organized the meeting at the Olivenhain Meeting Hall to discuss recent concerns and questions from residents about the planned 250-unit Goodson Project along Rancho Santa Fe Road, as well as vehicle speeds, traffic signals, biker and pedestrian safety, parking, and the planned permanent Fire Station 6.

“There’s been a really overwhelming interest, and we’re really happy that you all could make it here tonight,” Olivenhain Town Council President Scott Woodward told the packed meeting hall on Wednesday.

Many questions were submitted in advance, and some residents asked questions during the meeting. Encinitas Mayor Bruce Ehlers answered questions, along with City Councilmember Marco San Antonio, Engineering Director Dan Nutter, and Assistant Development Director Meagan Openshaw.

Much of the meeting was spent talking about pedestrian safety, particularly for children, after 17-year-old Olivenhain resident Seraphina “Fin” Rose Fadick was fatally struck by

Ehlers said the city has increased traffic enforcement by adding two new deputies and has lowered speed limits on various roads under Assembly Bill 43. This included El Camino Del Norte, where the speed limit was lowered from 40 mph to 35 mph in 2024.

However, he said installing infrastructure such as speed tables, speed bumps, or chicanes could pose issues for emergency vehicles that need to respond quickly.

a westbound vehicle on July 10 while walking in a crosswalk along El Camino Del Norte near La Quebrada.

Friends have asked people to use the name Fin, noting that authorities initially identified the teen by their legal name, Seraphina, but that was not the name they used.

Community members noted that this is the third traffic-related death of a child in the past few years in Encinitas.

Last spring, 12-year-old Emery Chalekian was struck and killed while crossing Encinitas Boulevard, and 15-year-old Brodee Champlain-Kingman died in 2023 after colliding with a vehicle while riding an e-bike along El Camino Real.

Calli Kelsay, an Olivenhain resident and the president of Safe Kids San

Diego Coalition, said at the meeting that her family has connections to both Fadick and Chalekian, and these tragedies have impacted the entire community.

driver may have been distracted.

The driver was uninjured, stopped the car after the crash, and immediately contacted 911 with a neighbor, Trampus said. No charges have been filed at this point.

“We don’t have any wit-

nesses at this point other than the driver, and we’re still looking if there’s any video surveillance. We’re actively investigating this and how it happened,” Trampus said.

Ehlers said Fadick’s death is tragic, and his heart goes out to their loved ones. Fadick was going into their senior year at San Dieguito Academy.

“Of course, we had a very tragic accident, and we’re all heartbroken. Unfortunately, I’ve been on council long enough that this is the third one,” he said, referencing the deaths of Chalekian and Kingman-Champlain.

Several residents noted that drivers regularly speed along Rancho Santa Fe Road and El Camino Del Norte going as fast as 60 mph, and asked city leaders how they plan to slow speeds.

“That’s where we get into conflicts of fire access and fire evacuation,” said Ehlers. “When we’re talking about fire response, minutes count.”

One resident who lives along Val Sereno Drive said lowering speed limits on El Camino Del Norte, while well-intentioned, has led to increased instances of tailgating. He said that more stop signs along the road could help calm traffic without restricting emergency vehicles’ movement.

Ehlers said this is something the city can explore, stating that he has “never said no to a stop sign.” Other residents said they want to see more traffic deputies targeting common speeding areas, including along Val Sereno Drive, El Camino Del Norte, and Manchester Boulevard.

“It seems to me that I rarely, if ever, see a police of-

Carlsbad revetment permit heads to state review

City requests 7-year extension of seawall permit

By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD — The

City of Carlsbad will need a full California Coastal Commission review to extend a permit for a rock revetment along Carlsbad Boulevard, after administrative approval of a temporary extension drew objections from commissioners.

The hearing will concern a rock barrier protecting the coastal portion of southbound Carlsbad Boulevard from the Pacific Ocean. The city originally received a temporary permit in 2018 for the 530-foot stretch that straddles Encinas Creek, according to state records. The original permit expired in 2024.

San Diego Coast District Deputy Director Karl Schwing of the California Coastal Commission later determined that extending the permit by seven years, through 2031, represented an “immaterial” change and therefore would not require a full commission review.

However, the Surfrider Foundation objected, arguing that the city had not made sufficient progress toward a permanent solution and should not receive a seven-year extension without full commission review.

After more than three

commissioners objected to the administrative designation during the July 9 meeting, the item was referred to the full commission for review at a future meeting. As of July 27, the item was not listed on any of the commission’s three August meeting agendas.

At the July 9 meeting, Schwing said much of his decision was based on the fact that the extension would not authorize new construction or modify any of the permit’s conditions.

He said that while “staff agrees that progress on a long-term solution has taken longer than originally anticipated,” the timeline was extended to “allow the

city to obtain the funding necessary to go from feasibility level analysis to full project development.”

Schwing added that the city has already completed some of the technical studies needed to develop a longterm plan for the roadway, including cliff-erosion assessments and habitat-restoration analyses for Las Encinas Creek.

“Although the city’s made measurable progress toward meeting the requirements [of] the permit, it has not yet secured funding necessary to advance the project to final design, environmental review and preparation of the CDP application which is required

under the original permit,” he said. “The seven-year extension therefore provides sufficient time for both to secure funding and to complete the required technical work before the revetment authorization expires in 2031.”

Tom Frank, Carlsbad’s transportation director and city engineer, said he is well aware of the issues along that stretch of roadway because he drives it every day after work.

“The city realizes that this is a priority project,” he said.

toward a long-term solution between 2020 and 2024, but that work had stalled since then.

Silverstein, who also shared photos of rocks and debris on the roadway following a recent swell, said he supports moving the roadway inland to combine the northbound and southbound lanes because it would “free up all that space for a natural beach resilient to 6.5 feet of sea level rise.”

NO EYE EQUAL TO WISDOM

Anoble quest wins he who wields the lightning bolt of truth, the sword of knowledge tried and true, to tear apart the inky veils of feeble-minded and unmitigated ignorance the primal sin that makes the untaught err and stumble.

Yet it is nobler still by far to let the flame of wisdom softly spread its light of cognizance, to gently guide the common fools; the lost, the fearful, righteous, arrogant, and know-it-alls, so as to broaden and enrich their needy, yearning souls.

Blessed are they whose spirit richly thrives with cosmic wisdom, moral logic, and capacity for love. For they will know the truth, be brimming full with life; not like the poor-in-spirit who subsist in dread and can’t find light, nor strength to wholly live.

ROTHE © DIETMAR ROTHE, 2004

No

terror anywhere on Earth or in the heavens comes close to loveless fear that permeates the poor-in-consciousness. There is no higher bliss than wisdom, no better friend than knowing truth, no savior other than the living Spirit’s might.

The greatest human victory yet unshackles those whose spirit is enslaved by flawed, self-serving and unnatural beliefs; is petrified with fear of vengeful gods. Once freed, a people’s spirit molds a will to banish from their minds all vengeance, envy, fear, and greed.

With mind and spirit healed, true justice can be won for all; a chance for peace that will endure, once humans cast out vicious hate. Then freedom reigns, unspoiled by haughty flags and national intrigues, unchained from all beguiling dogmas that enslave.

Frank said the city has spent decades evaluating options and developed a plan to move the southbound lanes alongside the northbound lanes farther inland, but the project is estimated to cost $280 million.

According to Frank, the city is “very well aware of the hotspots that we need to monitor” regarding erosion and thanked Surfrider for its feedback as the city works toward a permanent solution.

“While the city is responsible with their finances, there’s a lot of different responsibilities that the city needs to budget for, and we don’t have that type of money to move this project forward at this time,” he said.

Brandon Miles, an engineer with the city, said Carlsbad has received California Coastal Conservancy grant funding since 2020 and retained a consultant for the project.

Miles said the city routinely monitors the area for signs of erosion and that “monitoring shows only minor movement.”

He added that the city has completed a 30% roadway design for the concept described by Frank and has submitted seven grant applications for the project.

Kathleen Steindlberger, a Carlsbad resident and former chair of the city’s Beach Preservation Commission, said delaying the timeline “would have adverse impacts on coastal resources, public access and recreation.”

She echoed Silverstein’s concerns that the project had made no visible progress since 2024, which she said was especially concerning given expected winter weather.

“Further storm-induced erosion and damage along this highway is foreseen, not unforeseen,” Steindlberger said. “This stretch of road already overtops during king tides and large swells at high tide. Forecasts of another El Nino this winter raise the realistic prospect of further bluff failures, road closures and potential additional emergency permit requests for more rock revetment along this stretch of Carlsbad Boulevard.”

Commissioner Matt O’Malley was the first to object to classifying the seven-year extension as an “immaterial” change to the original permit.

Commissioner Susan Lowenberg said the commission should continue looking for ways to “keep pushing” Carlsbad to complete the project in a timely manner.

“I just think seven years is too long,” Lowenberg said.

Proposals include popular sites such as Boulder Oaks Equestrian Campground, where single-site fees would increase by $10 and double-site fees by $20, and the Three Sisters Falls and Cedar Creek Falls hikes, which would go from requiring no permit to a $4 daily fee. Other sites would see steeper increases. Ataxam Ma’mta’ash Campground, for example, would increase from $12 to $30 for a single site, while El Cariso and Fry Creek campgrounds would double from $15 to $30. The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, passed in 2004, allows the U.S. Forest Service to retain at least 80% of recreation fee revenue for local maintenance, operations and improvements.

“Revenue collected through recreation fees would help the forest improve infrastructure at recreation sites and fund additional recreation staff during the season of operation,” the forest said in a statement. “Recreation fees help provide quality recreation opportunities that meet the modern expectations of visitors and creates a more financially sustainable recreation program for future generations.”

Body of swimmer identified

By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD — Au-

thorities have publicly identified a 53-yearold Carlsbad man who drowned over the weekend after he was last seen swimming off the city’s coast.

Robert Edmonston was last seen around 7 p.m. Saturday about 50 yards offshore near Lifeguard Tower 26, according to the U.S. Coast Guard Southwest Command Center. He was wearing a red shirt, a black swim cap and gray shorts.

A multi-agency search involving California State Parks lifeguards, park rangers, a Carlsbad Police Department drone and a San Diego County Sheriff’s helicopter was launched after Edmonston was reported missing.

Around noon Sunday, a California State Parks lifeguard found Edmonston’s body washed ashore near North Ponto Beach, between Lifeguard Tower 28 and Encinas Creek. He was pronounced dead at 12:06 p.m.

The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Edmonston’s death an accident by drowning.

Horses euthanized at Del Mar

DEL

MAR

— Two horses were euthanized after suffering musculoskeletal issues during the second weekend of the 2026 summer meet at the Del Mar Racetrack.

Cornucopian, a threeyear-old colt, sustained a catastrophic injury to his front-right fetlock in the Bing Crosby Stakes race on July 25. He was euthanized the next day after being transported to the barn and examined, according to the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club.

Another death took place at the track on Sunday, when three-year-old filly Can You Dream suffered a front-left fetlock injury during the eighth race of the day.

The Thoroughbred Club extended its condolences “to the connections, caretakers, and teams of both Cornucopian and Can You Dream.”

“Del Mar is committed to the highest standards of equine safety and welfare. For the last several years, the track has been recognized as one of the safest in the country, according to data from The Jockey Club and the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority, the independent national regulator of racetrack safety,” DMTC said in a statement to The Coast News.

Grants help community groups reduce wildfire risk

By Leo Place SAN MARCOS —

Community-led fire safety organizations in North County are continuing to promote wildfire safety and preparedness for residents in areas with high fire risk with the help of local grants.

Fire Safe councils, or FSCs, are formed by local residents and focus on educating neighborhoods about wildfire preparedness, resilience and prevention, as well as assisting property owners in removing and disposing of flammable brush and vegetative debris and in fire-hardening their homes.

There are over 50 FSCs in San Diego County, the most of any region in the United States, according to the San Diego Regional Fire Foundation.

Last month, the foundation awarded a total of $276,000 in Project SAFE grants to 30 local FSCs. These included several FSCs representing areas of North County like Del Mar, Escondido, San Elijo Hills, Fallbrook, Olivenhain, Palomar Mountain, and Poway.

Funds are used for projects that will increase defensible space (the buffer zone separating a residence from the wildland area), remove fuel loads, and promote community preparedness and fire safety.

“Building wildfire resilience requires strong local partnerships, and Fire Safe Councils are at the forefront of that effort,” said Brian D’Agostino, Vice President of Wildfire and Climate Science for San Diego Gas & Electric, which is among the donors supporting the grant. “Their deep understanding of local risks and ability to bring neighbors together help drive meaningful, on-the-ground solutions.”

The San Elijo Hills FSC is a nonprofit that serves a large portion of southern San Marcos, from Double Peak to Rancho Santa Fe. The entire area falls into the very high fire hazard severity zone, as identified in updated state fire severity maps.

Using the Project SAFE

grant as well as a separate $10,000 grant from the San Diego Regional Fire Foundation earlier this year, the San Elijo Hills FSC has been helping residents replace wooden fences around their homes with fire-resistant steel fencing and remove vegetation from around their homes.

“The zip code around San Elijo has one of the highest amounts of homes in the wildland-urban interface zone,” San Elijo Hills FSC President Lindsey Smith said. “We want to specifically target those perimeter homes where the wildfire history shows the wildfires are more likely to start.”

The San Elijo Hills FSC formed in early 2025, around the time of the Palisades fire in Los Angeles. Smith said many residents are eager to prepare their homes and plan for wildfires, especially after having to evacuate during the 2014 Cocos Fire.

A big focus for FSCs is defensible space, which is divided into three zones, each with its own requirements for clearing vegetation and structures. Zone Zero is within zero to five feet of a house, and is the most restrictive in terms of allowed vegetation and structures

While enforcement of zones 1 and 2 is in effect, the state has deferred enforcement of Zone Zero for two more years, due to the costs and effort associated with removal of brush and other structures, such as wood fences.

However, Smith and others don’t want to wait to start addressing Zone Zero.

As the president of the San Elijo Homeowners Association, in addition to the FSC, Smith, who is also running for San Marcos City Council, said she has taken what she learned to update HOA regulations to include the most recent fire safety recommendations, including Zone Zero guidelines.

“It’s been a really good marriage of the two,” she said of her president roles for both the FSC and the HOA. “That has been the

Carlsbad backs new business plan

By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD —

The Carlsbad Economic Development Subcommittee advanced a certification program to formally recognize businesses that are family-friendly for parents, caregivers and young children.

Mayor Pro Tem Priya Bhat-Patel, who created the Carlsbad Family-Friendly Certified Program, outlined the initiative and its benefits at the July 21 subcommittee meeting, where it was unanimously recommended by subcommittee members Bhat-Patel and Councilmember Kevin Shin.

The program would be administered by the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce at no cost to the city, according to city documents.

ities, according to city documents.

The chamber is also recruiting 20 businesses to participate in a pilot program scheduled to begin in the first quarter of next year. The pilot will include businesses in the following categories: coffee shops and cafes, restaurants, retail, health and wellness, recreation and culture, and hospitality and tourism.

Businesses would also be evaluated using a scoring rubric that measures how family-friendly they are.

Bhat-Patel told The Coast News the goal of the pilot is to gather feedback from businesses across multiple sectors before expanding the program citywide.

biggest push, using the HOA framework to try to push some of the regulations that the state hasn’t been able to push through.”

The Fallbrook FSC has used its $15,000 grant for three major projects — community chipping events, reflective address signage, and fire safety presentations. The chipping events allow residents to bring vegetation cuttings to a centralized location, where they are chipped and turned into mulch by waste hauler EDCO.

Ken Derry, Fallbrook FSC treasurer, said they host chipping events about five times per year. Most of the grant funds will go toward these events.

“It’s basically for people to clear off the areas around their homes to create defensible space,” Derry said. “It’s been a very, very successful event throughout the four years we’ve been doing it.”

The reflective signs make it easier for first responders to find homes in the rural Fallbrook area, Derry said. The grant will subsidize the difference between the $25 cost for residents and the approximately $45 cost for the FSC to order and ship them.

Derry said they give educational presentations to local HOAs and other groups, covering fire safety, items residents should have ready if they need to evacuate, and evacuation routes.

“There’s not a lot of egress routes to get out of Fallbrook,” Derry said.

Some Fire Safe Councils are also trying to assist residents with insurance, as some homeowners’

Bhat-Patel told The Coast News the program is intended to serve as a “trust-based shortcut” in a way “similar to a health inspection grade,” allowing families to feel confident that participating businesses make accommodations for young children and caregivers.

She said the program would also benefit businesses by helping local and visiting families “connect with a place that they may not have seen otherwise.”

“The certification should turn that family foot-traffic into loyal, repeat customers,” Bhat-Patel said. “In general this will be a broader branding for our city. We are already known as a family-friendly city.”

Shin said he remembered that as a new father, he often found himself gravitating toward businesses that accommodated the needs of families with young children.

Under the Carlsbad Family-Friendly Certified Program, the chamber would manage the self-certification application process, oversee the production and distribution of window decals for certified businesses and carry out other administrative responsibil-

“It would just be a good way for us to fine tune the criteria to make sure it works for the businesses and those visiting the businesses,” she said.

She added that several businesses have already signed on to participate in the pilot program, including Kids & Coffee.

Businesses that opt into the Carlsbad Family-Friendly Certified Program would be ranked in one of four tiers. The Gold designation would recognize businesses that serve as a model of family-friendliness, while Silver and Bronze would recognize businesses demonstrating solid and entry-level family-friendly practices, respectively.

The program would also include a Pathway designation for businesses that score below the certification threshold but want feedback on how to better serve families in the community.

“We’re really trying to make sure it’s very inclusive,” Bhat-Patel said. “We don’t want to leave folks out.”

Feedback, particularly from parents, has been overwhelmingly supportive of the certification program, she added.

Encinitas group calls for action after teen’s death

By Samanatha Nelson ENCINITAS

— A group of residents is urging the city of Encinitas to take immediate action to prevent more traffic-related deaths after the latest in a string of fatal collisions involving young residents since 2023.

Safe Streets Encinitas, which formed after the death of 12-year-old Encinitas resident Emery Chalekian, who was killed last year while crossing Encinitas Boulevard in a marked crosswalk at Village Square, announced its core demands during a July 21 rally outside Encinitas City Hall.

The group’s two primary demands are that the city hold an emergency town hall where residents can speak with city leaders and staff about improving traffic safety, and that the city declare a local traffic safety emergency in light of repeated pedestrian fatalities over the past decade.

A third demand calls for the city to establish a street safety task force that includes firefighters, sheriff’s deputies, engineers, City Council members and other relevant stakeholders to explore potential solutions.

According to the group’s website, Safe Streets Encinitas focuses on four pillars to improve traffic safety: reducing speeding, improving intersection safety, combating

DUI incidents and curbing distracted driving.

Founding members said they have spent the past year trying to work with the city but claim their suggestions have been brushed off, ridiculed or dismissed as too political.

Leigh Ratcliffe, one of

the group’s founding members, said the group has advocated for infrastructure “that doesn’t ask drivers to be careful but makes it physically harder to speed in the first place.”

Ratcliffe also highlighted the group’s interest in Senate Bill 720, signed into

law last year, which creates an opt-in program allowing cities to use red-light camera systems intended to equitably improve pedestrian safety.

“The City Council and mayor are supposed to represent the people, but we don’t think they’re listen-

ing,” Ratcliffe said. “More than that, we have been met with skepticism, defensiveness and disrespect by this council, and we have watched as they take that same attitude to other individuals and entities. Now another child has died. This is not something we should

have to put up with… there are solutions that work. No one else has to die.”

Ratcliffe also criticized the City Council’s plan to remove protected bike lanes on Santa Fe Drive rather than prioritize other street improvement projects, as well as its rejection of a traffic-calming resolution proposed by Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes last summer.

Ratcliffe, a recently appointed member of the city’s Mobility and Traffic Safety Commission, said the City Council has yet to review and provide feedback on the commission’s Comprehensive Safety Action Plan, which it recommended for council review last year.

‘This is a pattern’

Among the speakers were Emery’s mother, Bridget Chalekian, and Clare Champlain and Troy Kingman, parents of Brodee Champlain-Kingman, a 15-year-old who was killed in an e-bike crash on El Camino Real in 2023. He would have graduated from San Dieguito Academy this year.

The most recent fatality was Seraphina “Fin” Rose Fadick, 17, of Encinitas, who died after being struck by a vehicle while crossing El Camino Del Norte in Olivenhain on July 10.

CITY OF OCEANSIDE NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT

Subject: SkyHaven Residential Project: Development Plan (D25-00010) and Density Bonus (DB25-00007); SCH NO. 2026031255. The 7.78-gross-acre Project site is located in the City of Oceanside and is identi ed by Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 168-020-64-00 and 168-030-45-00. The site is located on the south side of Sunset Drive and on the east side of Sky Haven Lane. Surrounding uses include vacant land, a mobile home park, and single-family residences to the north and west (within the City of Vista); a church and rural-residential uses to the south and east (within unincorporated San Diego County); and vacant land and single-family residences to the south (within the City of Oceanside). The Project site is located approximately 0.3 miles southeast of State Route 78. The Project site has a General Plan land use designation of High Density Residential (HD-R) and a zoning designation of High Density Residential (RH), and is within the Lake Neighborhood Planning Area.

The Project proposes 1.86 acres of roadway improvements within Sky Haven Lane and Sunset Drive, resulting in 5.92 net acres of developable area. The residences would consist of 163 market-rate units and 29 units available to low-income households. The State of California’s Density Bonus Law (SDBL) (Government Code §65915-65918) was established to promote the construction of a ordable housing units and allows projects to exceed the maximum designated density and to use development standard waivers, incentives, and concessions in exchange for providing a ordable housing units in compliance with all current density bonus regulations. The density bonus application does not propose an increase in density (the proposed total of 192 apartment units falls below the 225 units permitted in the RH zoning district), but would utilize waivers of development standards and may also use incentives/concessions if available. To accommodate the project as allowed under Density Bonus Law, the project seeks waivers of development standards, including setbacks, building height, retaining wall heights, hillside development standards and active open space minimums. The Project would result in a density of 24.67 dwelling units per gross acre and 32.45 dwelling units per net acre.

The proposed buildings would have a contemporary Spanish architectural style and would be three to four stories with a maximum height of 49 feet. The Project includes 13,500 square feet of common open space with a community pool area, and a 5,084-square-foot clubhouse containing leasing o ces, lounge and co-working spaces, a tness center, and an outdoor patio space adjacent to the pool area.

Landscaping coverage would be approximately 70,186 square feet (27.2 percent of the site) and would include ornamental trees, shrubs, and ground covers. The proposed tree canopy coverage is 31,285 square feet (12.1 percent) of the site. Retaining walls are proposed along the Project boundaries due to the existing site topography and would be up to 28 feet in height along the southern and eastern site boundaries and up to 22 and 23 feet in height along Sunset Drive and Sky Haven Lane. Trees, shrubs, and other landscaping plantings are proposed to screen the retaining walls.

Access to the site would be provided by a 28-foot-wide driveway along Sunset Drive at the northeast corner of the site. In addition, the Project includes installation of sidewalks along the Project site frontages of Sunset Drive and Sky Haven Lane. The Project would provide a total of 314 parking spaces located in garages, carports, and surface parking areas. The Project would also provide a total of 119 bicycle parking spaces. A Development Plan is required to be approved for the proposed residential Project.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21092 and the State CEQA Guidelines (Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15087), has completed a Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) for the proposed Project described above, and that the Draft EIR is available for public review.

It is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held on Thursday, the 20th day of August 2026, at 6 p.m., or as soon as possible thereafter, by the Encinitas Planning Commission to discuss the following hearing item of the City of Encinitas:

CASE NUMBER: PLCY-008977-2026 GPA/LCPA; APPLICANT: City of Encinitas; LOCATION: Citywide; PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Public hearing to consider a recommendation to the City Council for the adoption of the Resource Management Element (RME) update. The City is conducting a focused amendment to the RME of its General Plan to address equitable access to open space, rewilding, climate resilience, and habitat connectivity pursuant to Senate Bill 1425 and Assembly Bill 1889. The draft RME amendment is available on the City’s website at: encinitasca.gov/resourcemanagement. A General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) are proposed to re ect the adoption of the RME update. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the project is exempt pursuant to Section 15307 (Class 7), Section 15308 (Class 8), and Section 15300.2. Section 15307 provides a categorical exemption for actions taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized by State law or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, or enhancement of a natural resource where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment. Section 15308 provides a categorical exemption for actions taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized by State or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment. Section 15300.2 identi es a series of exceptions, that if applicable, prohibit the application of a categorical exemption and therefore preclude a project from being found categorically exempt. The proposed project is not identi ed as a prohibited exception; and therefore, the exemption applies.

Encinitas slugger wins derby crown

By Noah Perkins ENCINITAS

— After spending the spring launching baseballs over the fences at Encinitas’ Ecke Sports Park, 12-year-old outfielder Jett Fisher traveled to Cooperstown, New York, with the 12U Encinitas Tritons carrying one persistent thought: What if?

What if he could reach the finals of the Cooperstown Dreams Park King of Swat home run derby? What if he could compete on the tournament’s Little Majors field? What if he could win?

By week’s end, the Encinitas Little Leaguer had answered all three, outlasting representatives from 104 teams to capture the King of Swat title.

“Probably for the week leading up to this, when he knew he was going to represent his team, at least twice a day, he’d say, ‘Mom, what if I win the King of Swat?’ He was already imagining it. It’s like, in his mind, he was already there,” mom Julianne Fisher told The Coast News.

The weeklong tournament brought together nearly 1,200 players from 104 teams, with each club selecting one player to compete in the King of Swat home run derby. Fisher’s Encinitas Tritons teammates chose him to represent their team.

Given five pitches in the opening round, Fisher blasted three home runs to advance as one of only four finalists. He followed with

two more home runs in the championship round, forcing a three-way swing-off before delivering two more long balls to secure the King of Swat crown.

“It’s performing in front of thousands and hitting home runs on demand,” his father, Byron Fisher, said. “Hitting three in five pitches is pretty outstanding.”

“It’s always impressive watching Jett hit, but it was really cool watching him win the home run derby against such a large group of talented hitters,” saaid Encinitas Tritons head coach Andy Jones.

“Honestly, it was surreal,” Julianne Fisher said. “We were just happy that he made it to the finals. To even be able to compete there was awesome. Then he just kept going, and our eyes just kept getting wider. Like, ‘Is this real?’”

“Jett was super stoked,” said Anthony Mazzei, whose son, Tenn, was Fisher’s teammate and shared a bunkroom with him during the week in Cooperstown.

“The whole team and parents were thrilled for him. It was a great moment for the whole group, the whole town with all the families spending years together on the fields at Ecke.”

The Encinitas Tritons finished the week with a 4-3 record, advancing to the tournament’s single-elimination bracket before falling 11-5 to a top-seeded team from Northern California’s Peninsula.

Del Mar for nearly 50 years and his stewardship of this association and this facility has been invaluable to Thoroughbred racing in California and the U.S.,” said David Batchelder, DMTC Board Chairman. “Over the years, we witnessed Joe’s amazing ability to tackle the challenges associated with this business while fostering the respect and goodwill of the horsemen and women from around the globe, our state and local officials, and his colleagues in the racing industry.”

Rubinstein was named DMTC president in 2018 and has held several other executive positions in the organization. He also serves on the boards of other leading industry organizations like the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, Equibase, Southern California OffTrack Wagering, Inc. and the California Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Foundation.

Rubinstein said he is honored to build upon Harper’s strong foundation as the new CEO.

Gonzales still a catch at Palomar

Ex-Grizzlies

star takes next step with Comets

By Noah Perkins SAN MARCOS —

During high school, Josh Gonzales made a habit of spending fall Fridays doing the same thing: catching touchdowns.

The Palomar College freshman wide receiver accumulated 50 receiving touchdowns over three seasons, including 14 as a sophomore and 21 as a junior at Escondido before adding 15 more during his senior season at Mission Hills.

But for the 6-foot-1 receiver who became one of North County’s most productive pass catchers, the path from high school standout to college football player did not unfold exactly as planned.

“At first, I was honestly questioning even continuing to play,” Gonzales said. “I was so in my head, and things didn’t go my way.”

Gonzales transferred to Mission Hills for his senior season. He joined quarterback Troy Huhn and a talented group of skill players in a high-powered offense while hoping longtime head coach Chris Hauser could help increase his exposure during the recruiting process.

Mission Hills finished 9-2, won the Avocado West League championship and advanced to the Open Division CIF San Diego Section championship game before falling to Cathedral Catholic 42-35.

But the season also brought unexpected change.

Early in the year, Hauser was suspended following a program incident, and a district review later determined that, in addition to student misconduct, certain program staff failed to follow established supervision and reporting protocols. Hauser ultimately retired without returning, leaving Gonzales without the coach he believed could help maximize opportunities at the next level.

Gonzales said the uncertainty surrounding the program affected his re-

that he is staying on as CEO Emeritus and as a director where we can continue to benefit from his wisdom and leadership,” Rubinstein said.

Harper has held leadership and advisory board member positions with numerous racing and thoroughbred organizations, including the Federation of California Racing Associations, the Thoroughbred Racing Association, the UC Davis Center for Equine Health Advisory Board, the University of Arizona Race Track Industry Program Advisory Board, the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation and the Winner’s Foundation.

cruiting momentum during a critical time.

“Our head coach got fired,” Gonzales said. “It was a crazy year at Mission Hills. A lot of stuff that happened.”

Despite the challenges surrounding his senior season, Gonzales said he does not view his time with the Grizzlies as a disappointment.

“If I stayed at Esco, and I knew I was going to go to Palomar, there’s no reason for me to transfer,” Gonzales said. “But Mission Hills taught me a way different aspect of practice in general. The practices were so much harder than the games, which I honestly appreciate looking back.”

That mentality has fol-

lowed him to Palomar.

“Our coaches would just ingrain it in our head that practices are always going to be harder than the games,” Gonzales said. “Now I’m kind of appreciative of it because I try to carry that along with me and pretty much never take reps off.”

Gonzales initially never envisioned himself at Palomar, but he now views the Comets as the right place to continue developing.

“At first, I was like, ‘Palomar, I would never end up there,’” Gonzales said. “But now looking back at it, looking at it now, it’s honestly a great advantage.”

“Nowadays, guys need to be college-prepped and college-ready,” Gonzales added. “They don’t have time

to develop you at a four-year institution. They want you already ready when you come in.”

At Palomar, Gonzales joins a program led by longtime head coach Joe Early, who has guided the Comets since 2001.

Palomar is coming off a 3-7 season, but Gonzales believes he can contribute immediately while continuing to refine his game.

“I feel like I bring a pretty good talent to the team when it comes to the outside receiver position,” Gonzales said.

Beyond his physical ability, Gonzales said he has grown as a student of the game.

“I’ve gotten a lot more confident being smart with football IQ and helping guys out with plays, drawing them on the board,” Gonzales said.

Now Gonzales is focused on turning his opportunity at Palomar into the next step of his football journey.

“My goal is to just make it out, get a scholarship somewhere to play, continue to play ball,” Gonzales said. “I kind of want to take this thing as far as I can when it comes to football and just the love for the game.”

Palomar opens the season Saturday, Aug. 29, with a 6 p.m. road game against Ventura.

‘Pinch’ podcast praise

Ilike history, but am too lazy to dig through 20-volume sets on the fall of the Roman Empire to get to the juicy bits. Nero did what? Instead, I jump to “Short History of,” where John Hopkins or Paul McGann direct me to the scene of the crime.

Surfers have their own tour guides, many of whom tell us how to surf our best. As brilliant surfers and annalists, Shane Dorian and Brad Gerlach both excel here. Other podcasts or channels deal with surf history. In this genre, I have no need to dig any deeper than Matt Warshaw’s “Encyclopedia of Surfing,” or EOS, as it is known.

Warshaw combines his unique talents as a professional surfer, fine writer/ editor, and Berkeley-trained historian to put flesh on the bones of some of surfing’s most obscure characters. Deep dives into the daily habits of every surfer, from Hawaiian King Kamehameha to Brazilian phenom Gabriel Medina, make the $3 yearly subscription price well worth it.

Various podcasters, Derek Riley being chief among them, can hold my interest for a while. Currently, YouTube and Instagram shorts are making the rounds. That’s okay by me until the authors begin discussing trivia.

Under the tag, “Pinch My Salt,” Sterling Spencer and his cousin Ryan Spencer somehow manage to keep my brain engaged for up to an hour on topics such as interracial dating and other things that have no relevance to a primarily white senior surfer.

Filmed on location in Pensacola, Florida, a region as opposite Hawaiian power as possible, comfortably seated in what looks like the backdrop of “Wayne’s World,” the pair ramble on before arriving at click-baited items like the training habits of their favorite target, surfing’s sacred cow: Laird Hamilton.

Just when my interest begins fading, they bring on a guest like Joel Tudor, who calls out surfers who are helping destroy the homemade surfboard market. Or, there’s the story of the heart-pounding raid on the North Shore Billabong house, told in detail by one of the main raiders. Butt-puckering stuff for sure.

I owe these guys, especially Sterling, a debt for numerous things, including teaching me the correct way of saying, “Whaaaat?” Check “Pinch My Salt” if you want to understand what I mean.

We’ve all had difficult customers: demanding, obnoxious, late-paying folk who tempt you to pull out a baseball bat.

Admittedly, their money’s as good as anyone else’s. But do customers pay for the right to abuse you?

Difficult customers present challenges in every business. Some enjoy complaining, though most customers become frustrated because of unmet expectations, poor communication or simple misunderstandings.

So as a public service, here are some tips for handling troublesome clientele.

Doo the Dew

In his quest to retrieve a bottle of Mountain Dew, a Kansas City, Missouri, man fell into a portable restroom toilet tank and was stuck there for eight hours — with the lid closed! — before being rescued.

According to Fox 4 News, on July 14, a driver with Patriot Portable Restrooms was trying to collect the structures that had been set up for a World Cup watch party when he encountered the trapped occupant. The driver flagged down a nearby police officer, who helped him unlock the door.

“When we opened the door and didn’t see anybody, we honestly thought we were talking to a ghost, and then his head popped up out of the tank like a game of whack-a-mole, or Oscar the Grouch coming out of his can,” a company representative said. KCFD had to cut the man out of the toilet and then blasted him with the fire hose to rinse him off.

“In the portable restroom business, you kind of expect the unexpected,” the representative said. “But in six years, I never thought I’d find someone alive inside one of our units.” [FOX4, 7/17/26]

Ask questions: Gather the facts before offering a solution. Clarifying questions help identify the real issues.

Take ownership: Customers don’t care who’s at fault; they want solutions. Take responsibility for helping to resolve the problem.

Offer solutions: Focus on practical solutions and what you can do instead of explaining why the problem occurred.

Set realistic expectations: If a resolution takes time, explain the process and provide an honest timeline. Never promise what you cannot deliver.

Know when to say no:

Some requests are unreasonable. Decline politely, explain company policy and, if possible, offer alternatives.

Escalate when needed: You may want to involve a supervisor to demonstrate a commitment to finding the best outcome.

Listen to customers: There may be a pattern to the complaints, indicating ways to improve your business.

Follow up: Send an email after resolving an issue to show customers you value their business and care about their satisfaction.

Small World ... in Oceanside

It sounds like the plot of a psychological thriller: You go on vacation and stay at a rental where you’ve never been before. Inside, you admire a framed beach photo on the wall ... only to recognize yourself and several family members in the picture.

That’s what happened to Utah sisters Libby Birrell and Aubrey Birrell, who were visiting Oceanside with extended family for their grandfather’s 80th birthday, Fox News reported on July 18.

“I will say we were creeped out,” Aubrey, 26, said. “Did they know we were coming?” The sisters posted a video to so-

But wait, there’s more — while Smith was being booked into custody, officers confiscated two more baggies “from the defendant’s vaginal cavity ... and right breast area.”

Smith faces charges of drug trafficking and possession of a controlled substance in a detention facility. [The Smoking Gun, 7/17/26]

Humanoid robot surgeons have successfully completed two gallbladder removals on large animals, paving the way for human surgeries to be performed by robots.

Murder suspect faces sex charges

New complaint alleges years of child sex abuse

By Leo Place

VISTA

— An Escondido man arrested earlier this month on suspicion of shooting and killing two people in Ramona was arraigned in Vista Superior Court on Monday on a long list of child sexual abuse charges.

The new complaint against Ryan Wesley Proffitt, 33, outlines 16 charges related to the sexual abuse of two different children, including sexual intercourse and oral copulation with a

child 10 years old or younger and forcible lewd acts upon a child under the age of 14.

The complaint also includes one charge of felony child abuse, stating that Proffitt caused great bodily harm to a child. According to the complaint, the abuse of the children took place between 2020 and 2025.

Proffitt pleaded not guilty to the charges, which come three weeks after Proffitt was arrested on suspicion of shooting and killing Navy sailor Courtney Chandler, 28, of Ramona, and Nicholas McClure, 32, of San Diego County, on the evening of July 6 in Ramona.

That day, Proffitt called police to report that he had

been involved in a “lover’s quarrel,” and that two people were dead. When deputies responded to the home along 11th Street, they discovered Proffitt sitting on the porch drinking a beer, and Chandler and McClure inside the home with traumatic gunshot wounds.

Both died from their injuries, and Proffitt was arrested at the scene.

At his arraignment on July 9, prosecutors said Proffitt and Chandler were in an open relationship and had been living together. They said Proffitt became jealous after Chandler began a relationship with McClure, who also moved in and had been living with the couple for around a

week and a half.

Prosecutors said Proffitt confronted the two about their relationship with a loaded gun, and then shot McClure multiple times before also shooting Chandler.

Proffitt pleaded not guilty to the murder charges.

The two cases are moving forward separately in the courts. Proffitt’s next hearing in the child sex abuse case will be Aug. 6, and his next hearing in the murder case will be Sept. 29.

“The cases remain separate at this time,” said San Diego County District Attorney’s Office spokesperson Tanya Sierra.

SHIELDS

CONTINUED FROM FRONT

Shields’ passing as a suspicious death. The case drew widespread attention, partially due to comments from witnesses about markings on Shields’ neck and head after she was discovered.

The Sheriff-Coroner’s report addressed these markings in its report. The markings on her neck, which some witnesses speculated were from strangulation, are consistent with “postmortem insect activity,” the report said.

In addition, the report found that the injury on her forehead was determined to be “superficial” and not a contributing factor to her death.

“Investigators found no evidence during the forensic examination or throughout the investigation to indicate that Ms. Shields was the victim of a crime,” the Sheriff-Coroner’s Office said.

Witnesses who spoke to media outlets after Shields also noted that a man who described himself as Shields’ friend had been with her the morning she died.

According to reports, the man told a group of backpackers that Shields had gone down to a nearby river to clean off, and he later found her face down in the water.

These reports elicited some suspicions of foul play online. However, officials said the man was cooperative with investigators, and no further investigative action was taken based on the results of the investigation and forensic findings.

Monterey County Sheriff-Coroner Tina Nieto said her thoughts and prayers are with Shields’ family and loved ones.

“We hope these findings provide them with some measure of peace and clo-

I also want to thank our detectives, Coroner’s staff, our forensic pathologist, and our public safety partners for their professionalism, compassion, and dedication to conducting a thorough investigation and providing Joanna’s family with the answers they deserved,” Nieto said. Shields was a brand ambassador for Evolve Skateboards USA in Oceanside, and was known as an adventurous free spirit who empowered women in the skateboarding community.

Back in 2023, she spoke openly about her struggles with mental health and substance use in a video interview with Evolve Skateboards. She described how anxiety and depression had led her to self-medicate with alcohol, and said her sister, as well as the e-skateboarding community, helped her to get on the right path and find joy and freedom again.

“Anyone who is stuck in the position I was in for so long, you can get out of it, and there is a way to get out of it and there’s a much healthier, happier, free life on the other side,” Shields said in 2023. “Finding that thing to relieve some stress in a healthy way and finding it in these skateboards was definitely a huge turning point in my life.”

Her family described her as an energetic, bright, and spontaneous person who loved nature, her family, and friends, and was on a constant journey of self-development. She was the youngest of 12 children, and grew up in the Mundelein area of Illinois before moving to California with her family as a young girl.

A memorial for Shields was held in the Carlsbad/ Oceanside area in May, and family members also planned a celebration of life this month in Illinois.

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— Nearly seven months after North County leaders smashed through a wall in the historic Sunshine Brooks Theater to commemorate the start of extensive renovations, those same leaders gathered again last week to celebrate the completion of the first phase of the theater’s $2.2 million revitalization project.

First built in 1936, the nearly 90-year-old theater has been a fixture along downtown Oceanside’s stretch of Historic Highway 101 for nearly a century.

After it opened, Hattie “Sunshine” Brooks donated the building to the city, which still owns it and leases it to the Oceanside Theatre Company. The resident theater company produces professional and youth shows, arts education programs, concerts, comedy, films and other community events.

The Oceanside Theatre Company is also leading the $2.2 million Revitalize the Brooks Capital Campaign, an effort to restore and modernize the theater while preserving its architectural character.

To mark the start of renovations, the company held a “wall smashing” ceremony in December.

The first phase of the project included:

• Expanding restroom capacity from two to six all-gender restrooms

• Creating an open and accessible lobby

roughs, the theater company staged three full productions, hosted two camps and held numerous other events during construction. A ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the completion of the first phase was held July 21 in the newly renovated studio.

“I cannot tell you how happy I am to see all of you here and to be in this space. It’s been a long time coming,” said Leann Garms, vice president of the Oceanside Theatre Company Board of Directors.

The first phase cost nearly $900,000 and was originally expected to be completed in March but took several additional months to finish.

possible,” Garms said. “The investment allowed us to dream bigger, plan wisely, and create a roadmap for the future.”

Desmond said the theater is near and dear to his heart, recalling his childhood growing up and working backstage at an opera house in his Midwestern hometown.

“In government, we have to knead and grow all aspects of life. It’s not just streets, roads and infrastructure, it’s also the arts and things that bring the community together,” Desmond said.

• Modernizing the HVAC system

• Enhancing the concession area

• Improving circulation throughout the building for patrons and performers

• Upgrading Studio 219, where the first wall was smashed in January to mark the start of renovations

Part of the renovation connected Studio 219 to the theater’s main lobby. Previously, the studio was cut off from the rest of the building, forcing performers to exit through the front entrance

and reenter through Studio 219’s exterior doors. Now, performers can access the studio without leaving the building.

The renovation also raised Studio 219’s ceiling from 9 feet to 13 feet, providing greater lighting flexibility in the rehearsal space. The work also exposed the building’s original prismatic glass transoms, once a popular and practical way of directing daylight into building interiors before modern lighting.

Architect Ann Worth,

principal of Object Projects, designed the first-phase improvements, which were constructed by Courtney Ciurej and the CJ Shores Construction team.

Throughout construction, the theater continued operating as usual.

“One of our highest priorities was making sure the Brooks remained a living, working theater throughout construction,” said Kevin “Blax” Burroughs, producing artistic director for Oceanside Theatre Company.

According to Bur-

The second phase, to be completed at a later date, will focus on the theater itself, including replacing the HVAC system, flooring, carpeting and seating to accommodate up to 200 people, as well as upgrading the sound and lighting systems. The project received early support from San Diego County, which provided $75,000 to fund the feasibility study.

Leann Garms, president of the Oceanside Theatre Company Board of Directors, said Supervisor Jim Desmond believed in the theater company’s vision for the building before anyone else.

“Long before construction began, Supervisor Desmond helped make our very first feasibility study

In addition to the county’s support, the City of Oceanside contributed $500,000 toward the first phase of construction and building improvements. Private donations and grants funded the remainder of the project.

“We’re here to celebrate the first phase, but it’s about more than renovated space – it’s about what can happen when a community decides that art history and culture matter and chooses to invest in them for future generations,” Garms said.

According to Garms, the project builds on the theater’s history as the “community’s building.”

“In 1936, the building was dedicated as the community’s building, and that’s what we’re continuing here,” she said. “It belongs to all of us. The Sunshine Brooks is your building.”

Vista weighs nuisance action for Burlington site

City considers action after years of complaints

By Leo Place

VISTA — The Vista City Council will hold a public hearing on Aug. 11 to consider declaring the former Burlington Coat Factory building on Sycamore Avenue a public nuisance due to its deteriorated condition.

In a statement last week, Councilmember Dan O’Donnell said since the building at 650 Sycamore Avenue became vacant six years ago, it has continued to fall into decline and disrepair, including a partially collapsed roof.

After years of residents raising concerns about the building and several conversations between the city and property owner Excel Property Management and its subsidiary Charles Company, the council is considering a firmer approach to ensure the space is improved.

“I have heard and understand the frustration many of you have voiced about this property. I feel it too. Not just as your representative, but as a homeowner, taxpayer, and father, and that is why I’m bringing this before the City Council. This is meant to move things forward and finally get this space activated,” O’Donnell said.

If the council declares the property a public nuisance and orders it to be abated, the city can legally require Charles Company to repair and improve the property. If they do not, the city can step in to do it itself and then charge them the cost.

O’Donnell encouraged residents to attend the Aug. 11 City Council meeting at 5:30 p.m. at the Vista Civic Center, or to submit public comments virtually to publiccomments@vista.gov.

“This is a critical step in the process to activate this space and rejuvenate the Sycamore & Shadow-

ridge corridor,” O’Donnell said.

Excel Property Management has proposed a 256-unit multifamily residential project at the site to replace the commercial building, but the status of those plans is unknown. The project would include a mix of townhomes and condos, as well as 8,000 square feet of commercial space, across the 8.25 acres.

O’Donnell said the company has expressed that all options are on the table, including submitting a new plan for the site.

The proposal follows a similar enforcement effort

earlier this year. In April, the City Council declared the former New Community Church property at 165 Eucalyptus Avenue a public nuisance due to repeated trespassing, illegal occupancy, graffiti and trash accumulation, ultimately ordering the vacant buildings demolished after the property owner failed to resolve ongoing code violations.

The site is now planned for a 176-unit apartment development.

The Coast News reached out to Excel Property Management for comment about the planned abatement hearing, but did

not receive a response in time for print deadline.

Carlsbad renews funding for street lights

The Carlsbad City Council approved annual property assessments to fund street lighting, trees and landscaped medians in two assessment districts for the upcoming fiscal year.

In two unanimous votes on July 21, the council adopted the annual engineer’s reports for Street Lighting and Landscaping districts 1 and 2, authorizing the assessments to be placed on property tax bills for fiscal year 2026-27.

District 1 covers the northwest portion of the city, including much of the Village and Barrio neighborhoods, and stretches

east past El Camino Real. District 2 wraps around the southern and eastern portions of District 1 and extends to the city boundaries with Vista and San Marcos to the east, Oceanside to the north, and Poinsettia Lane or Palomar Airport Road to the south.

The city plans to use revenue from the assessments to maintain and replace street lighting, street trees and landscaped medians in those districts.

Assessment rates in District 1 average just over $70 per household and have remained unchanged for more than 30 years because of a 1996 state law. Assessments for District 2 are collected through 16 development zones. Each zone has a maximum and actual assessment rate recalculated annually.

New Wave Bagel is next level

Before I dive into the latest chapter of New Wave Bagel, a quick confession: I have a bagel problem. A problem in the sense that I am way too discerning and can sometimes get somewhat argumentative on the topic.

Readers of this column already know that. Last year, when I first introduced New Wave Bagel in Leucadia, I wrote about my lifelong search for a truly memorable bagel in North County and how chef-owners Cheryl Storms and Matt Cardwell had finally given local bagel lovers something worth lining up for.

Their naturally fermented sourdough bagels, inventive bialys and chef-driven approach immediately elevated the conversation. Well, consider this the sequel.

All that said, there were some limitations back then, including a fairly big one in that they still had to bring their bagels in from a commissary. And, due to long lines, toasted bagels were not an option. That said, those in the know were well aware that New Wave was in the process of building out their on-site kitchen and prep area, so a good thing was about to get incredible.

The vision that Cheryl shared with me during that first visit has officially come to life. Their on-site kitchen is now fully operational, and with it comes an expanded menu of sweet and savory breakfast and lunch bagel sandwiches and toasts that transforms New Wave from an exceptional bagel joint into one that should be on your weekly must-visit list.

The beauty of New Wave Bagel has always been that they never wanted to simply re-create a New York bagel shop. Instead, they've created something uniquely Southern California — one rooted in artisan sourdough baking, local farms, seasonal ingredients and the kind of culinary creativity that comes from two chefs who have spent years perfecting what they do.

A quick refresher on their process and sourcing of ingredients as it is important to know the thought and labor that goes into their menu. Each bagel is naturally fermented using sourdough starter rather than commercial yeast, then hand-rolled, boiled and baked fresh daily.

The result is that beautiful contrast between a crackly exterior and a wonderfully chewy interior that every serious bagel fan chases. It also provides a depth of flavor that keeps

The Heirloom Tomato Toast has local tomatoes, garlic chive cream cheese, tomato and parm and oh yeah, love this one as well.

Cucumber and Avocado Toast comes with local cucumbers, local avocado, scallion, chili flake and lemon, and it’s going to work its way into my rotation for sure.

revealing itself with every bite.

But now those bagels have become the foundation for something even more exciting. By adding a full kitchen, they have opened up an elevated dining experience.

The sandwiches exist because the bagels deserve them, not because somebody decided they needed more menu items. So, let’s get down on it and talk bagel sandwiches.

The Two Egg Patty has cheddar, local greens and garlic chive cream cheese as its base. Fancy it up a bit by adding your choice of bacon, avocado, house kimchi or house hot sauce. I did it with bacon and oh my, this is a sizable sandwich that I split between breakfast and lunch, and both filled me up.

The Pastrami Spiced Roast Beef is another bagel sandwich masterpiece. The pastrami roast beef (think a milder pastrami) is cooked in-house then constructed on your choice of bagel with house dill pickle, shaved

onion, heirloom tomato, local greens and horseradish cream cheese.

Sounds like a lot going on and there is, but the flavors work together like a symphonic convergence of the highest order. And not only that, the ingredients also tend to stay intact with each bite, which is a sure sign of a well-executed bagel sandwich.

There is also a Herb Roasted Turkey sandwich with house roasted turkey breast, cucumber, shaved onion, local greens, tomato, vinaigrette and avocado with bacon as an option. Not had this one yet but I will be back for it soon.

Toasts are another fabulous new category that help elevate New Wave Bagel, and as with the sandwiches, they rock it solid.

Smoked Fish has cold smoked and cured local white fish, chili crisp cream cheese, cucumber and radish on sesame bagel and it’s delightful. I should add that the fish is wild caught locally and they smoke and cure their fish in-house.

And finally, we wrap up the toast category with a couple of sweet selections. Cinnamon Toast has house salted cultured butter, cinnamon and sugar and believe me, the butter will make you very happy. The Summer Fruit Toast has honey vanilla cream cheese, fresh peach and strawberries, and it sounds delightful.

Where

As I wrote in my original column, New Wave Bagel was always opening in phases. Cheryl and Matt had a long-term vision that included a fully functioning kitchen, expanded seating and an ambitious sandwich program.

Champlain urged the city to reinstate red-light cameras, saying they helped reduce crashes at two city intersections for more than a decade before they were removed.

the city, resulting in an average speed reduction of about 2.2 mph. The city has also installed leading pedestrian intervals, giving pedestrians additional time to enter crosswalks before parallel traffic receives a green light.

Ehlers noted that while Encinitas and Hoboken are similar in size and population, Hoboken’s greater reliance on public transit creates a significantly different transportation landscape.

“This isn’t a mystery we haven’t solved. It’s a solution we stopped using,” she said.

Chalekian said her family has stopped attending City Council meetings because they feel insulted by what they see as the city’s lack of meaningful action.

“What has been heartbreaking is watching our city leaders take so little meaningful action to improve pedestrian safety after Emery was killed, and now, our community is facing another devastating tragedy,” Chalekian said. “Our family begged the city to not let this happen again, and yet here we are.”

Chalekian pointed to the city’s creation of a 14-member skate committee, saying it demonstrates city leaders can act quickly when an issue is considered a priority.

City progress

Mayor Bruce Ehlers, who attended the rally, said he was not offended by the criticism and understood residents’ emotions. At the same time, he said the event did not fully reflect the steps the city has already taken to improve traffic safety.

Members of Safe Streets pointed to Hoboken, New Jersey, which has implemented numerous safety measures over the past decade to reduce pedestrian deaths.

Ehlers said Encinitas has already adopted several of the same strategies, including gradually lowering vehicle speeds throughout

include increasing sheriff’s deputy-initiated traffic enforcement and adding two deputies dedicated to traffic safety.

Ehlers said the city has also taken the group’s request for red-light cameras seriously and that he would like to see additional measures to reduce stop sign violations.

The city’s 2026-27 annual work plan, which took effect July 1, includes several traffic safety goals:

• Analyze existing infrastructure, including signage, striping, signals and intersections.

• Develop a community traffic safety awareness plan.

• Improve driver behavior through increased enforcement targeting speeding, DUIs, distracted driving and red-light and stop sign violations.

• Increase education and enforcement to improve e-bike safety.

• Consider using redlight cameras.

• Develop and evaluate the need for a citywide traffic safety action plan with an integrated, map-based visual display.

• Improve alternative transportation routes.

Ehlers said he also hopes to hold a future special meeting to hear from residents and clarify the city’s traffic safety efforts.

“I look forward to continuing working with Safe Streets,” he said. “We all want to make Encinitas streets safer.”

Ihave always loved seeds. Recently I discovered that I could find free seeds at the Seed Library at Carlsbad’s Cole Library.

The Seed Library Project began in 2021 under the direction of Darin Williamson, lead librarian at the Cole. Working in conjunction with members of the Carlsbad Community Gardens Collaborative, the project has distributed over 1,500 packages per month to the city’s three library locations — Cole, Dove and the Learning Center.

Considering that each small package contains approximately 20 seeds, that totals 30,000 seeds per month happily making their way to gardeners across North County!

With generous donations from the San Diego Seed Company, Johnny’s Selected Seeds and the Native West Nursery, the Seed Project staff also encourages local gardeners to recycle seeds they have grown back into the collection.

For questions regarding the seed-saving process, call Cole librarian Marin Faeyera at 442-339-5364.

Seed collection

The Carlsbad Library hosts the seed collection project as an empirical element of the Seed Library. Local gardeners are encouraged to harvest seeds from their gardens, which will be distributed in the Seed Library cupboards at the three libraries.

How to prepare seed donations

• After harvesting seed

from your vegetable or flower garden, clean the dry seed by passing it through a fine mesh sieve. The viable seed will remain in the sieve, and the chaff (unusable seed particles) will pass through the sieve.

• Once seeds are clean and fully dry, package in small envelopes with gardener’s name, seed name and date. Bring seeds to the public service desk at any of the three library locations.

• NO GMO OR HYBRID SEED – Be certain

that the donated seeds are not GMO or hybrid varieties, since these seeds may not produce plants that are the same as the parent plant. Open-pollinated or heirloom seeds will be trueto-type if saved and grown again.

Williamson said: “The wide variety of seed that we are seeing from local gardeners is wonderful. We have received an unusual donation of Torrey Pine seed, as well as sunflowers, poppies, nasturtium and zinnias. We are thankful for the public support of our program. Seeds donated from Johnny’s Seed include bush beans, harvest beets, and lots of lettuce and herbs.”

Grow your garden classes

Monthly classes presented by San Diego Master Gardeners encourage new gardening skills and techniques.

On Saturday, Aug. 8, 10 a.m. to noon, Liz Woodward and Jodi Bay will present, “Preserving Your Harvest: Best Practices for Handling and Storing Produce,” at the Cole Library.

For other upcoming classes, call the library at 442-339-2870.

Ralphs opens La Costa location

By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD — Ralphs

celebrated the grand opening of a new grocery store on July 20 in La Costa, replacing the former Gelson’s Market after a $1.3 million renovation, and marked the occasion with a donation to Pacific Rim Elementary School.

Ralphs will anchor the shopping center at the northeast corner of El Camino Real and La Costa Avenue.

Since acquiring the store, Ralphs has invested $1.3 million in upgrades, according to a news release.

The improvements include new wayfinding elements designed to brighten the store, as well as new bakery displays and an

open-air seafood case.

“At Ralphs, our stores are part of the fabric of the neighborhoods we serve,” said Salvador Ramirez, a spokesperson for Ralphs Grocery Company, in the release.

“This remodel reflects our deep commitment to the Carlsbad community, where so many of our customers are also our neighbors.”

As part of the grand opening festivities, Ralphs donated to Pacific Rim Elementary School. The donation was made through the company’s Zero Hunger/ Zero Waste initiative.

Ralphs operates 183 stores across Southern California and is a subsidiary of The Kroger Co., according to the release.

ficer other than a patrol car going by,” said Olivenhain resident Christopher, who lives on 9th Street.

Ehlers said he is interested in adding more deputies, but it is ultimately a budgeting issue.

Maggie Ziegast, a friend of Fadick’s who also attended SDA and is now in college, also said that speeding is a problem, especially among young people.

“I’ve had friends get injured from that and friends die from that,” Ziegast said.

Goodson project

Community members also shared concerns about traffic impacts from the Encinitas Boulevard Apartments, known locally as the Goodson project. The six-story project is located along Rancho Santa Fe Road near the intersection with Encinitas Boulevard, next to the Olivenhain Platz business center.

The City Council approved the project back in 2022 after a years-long battle with the developer. Because the project includes 50 units for lower-income seniors — 21 units for very-low-income households and 29 for low-income households — it qualified under state law as a density bonus project, allowing it to exceed several local height and density standards.

The project will be accessed from Encinitas Boulevard via McCain Lane, where a new traffic light will be installed. There will be two access points from Rancho Santa Fe Road for

fire and emergency vehicle access only.

Residents shared concerns that traffic will become even more congested with a new traffic light at McCain Lane, noting that cars already get backed up at the light at Rancho Santa Fe Road and Encinitas Boulevard.

“How is that light going to work? People are gonna be coming out of McCain Lane, and you’re gonna have many, many people trying to turn right, trying to turn left,” said resident Gary Koop.

City officials said the two traffic lights will be coordinated to ensure traffic moves smoothly.

“I’m not going to sit here and say this development won’t have an impact on the community, but you have my commitment that we will try to make those impacts as limited as we can,” said Nutter.

San Antonio said he anticipates issues coming up with traffic once the development is built and occupied, and the city will work with residents to mitigate them.

“As the time goes on and this starts to get occupied, there will be problems. There will be. It’s inevitable. As we drive it, I know everyone here will be monitoring it,” San Antonio said.

Ehlers also shared concerns that the project is severely underparked, with only 472 parking spaces, noting that this will likely impact the neighborhood. He said the city may explore adding a parking permit program in Olivenhain to protect neighborhood parking.

Some residents asked about sidewalks and pedestrian pathways near the Goodson project. Ehlers said the city is keeping an eye out for grant funding for a planned 0.95-mile trail on the east side of Rancho Santa Fe Road known as Trail 82. The trail is expected to cost around $5.5 million, and will run from Encinitas Boulevard to El Camino Del Norte.

Officials also highlighted other residential projects proposed in and around Olivenhain. One is The Preserve, which will bring 35 single-family homes to a 22.33-acre site at Trabert Ranch Rd and Manchester Ave next to the Manchester Preserve. The project is still in the planning stages.

Another planned project is a nine-home devel-

opment at Rancho Santa Fe Road and Ranch View Terrace called Sanctuary, which will include one affordable home. Out of the 8.23-acre site, 5.48 acres will be preserved as open space.

Grading on the project has already begun, said Openshaw.

Lastly, the city has received an application for 14 single-family homes on a 4.75-acre site across from the Goodson Project along

Fire station

Officials also answered questions about the new fire station planned for Olivenhain, which has historically been understaffed compared to other local stations despite Olivenhain being in a high fire hazard risk zone.

Last fall, the city agreed to construct a new temporary Station 6 at Little Oaks Equestrian Park, increase staffing from two firefighters to three, and deploy a reserve Type 1 engine to replace the existing two-person patrol unit. The city is still looking for a permanent site for the station, and the City Council has been discussing a potential property acquisition in closed session, Ehlers said.

City fire officials say Olivenhain has the highest wildfire hazard risk in the city, and residents have long been concerned about fire evacuation and emergency response. This prompted San Antonio to bring forward the item to the City Council to make Station 6 a full-service station.

“For me, it was a huge deal to get this community protected, 100%,” San Antonio said.

City officials also addressed questions about street maintenance, particularly along Cole Ranch Road.

Ehlers said the city may be revisiting its policy that designates some roads as publicly owned but privately maintained.

Knight, a.k.a. Batman, who fights strange bad guys in a make-believe city called Gotham. Then there are the Jedi of “Star Wars” fame, various human and humanoid knights with magical powers. More recently, in the series “Game of Thrones,” there are the knights who failed to live up to their chivalrous ideals as they propped up their planet’s brutal feudal system, all while dodging fire-breathing dragons.

So what should we picture when we call the San Marcos High School baseball team “Knights”?

Should we picture the actual feudal overseers of Britain? Or the historic conquerors of the Aztecs, like Hernán Cortés? Or the very real gachupines who owned the encomiendas and haciendas?

Or should we picture the imaginary Knights of the Round Table, so ably mocked by Monty Python? Or old rock stars, dead Republican presidents, defunct narcotraficantes, or the tail-twister at a Lions Club meeting?

Or should we think of Yoda, Ser Boros Blount or the Caped Crusader? Or should we picture the delusional Don Quixote at bat, with an old barber’s basin on his head?

Let’s face it, the name “Knights” has lost much of whatever luster it once may have had.

The good news is that team names can be changed.

For example, in 2021, after a petition was circulated by students, Junípero Serra High School in Tierrasanta changed its name to Canyon Hills. At the same time, its teams’ name was changed to the Rattlers. They had been the Conquistadors.

Think about it. More than half of the students at San Marcos High School are Latinos, and about a third are Anglos.

Should they have to play and cheer for teams named after their ancestors’ oppressors? No, they deserve a name that celebrates their ancestors’ fight for land, liberty and independence.

Both the flag of Mexico and the Great Seal of the United States of America feature the same majestic bird.

The teams of San Marcos High School should be the Eagles.

Environmental advocate Welty dies at 91

By Jordan P. Ingram ENCINITAS —

For elected officials in Encinitas, there was one familiar voice they could almost always count on hearing during public comment.

Whether the issue was protecting coastal bluffs or defending neighborhood character, Encinitas resident Dolores Welty always arrived armed with facts, unwavering convictions and a no-nonsense style.

Welty, a longtime environmental advocate and fixture at City Hall for decades, died last month. She was 91.

A retired teacher, Welty devoted a significant portion of her life to protecting the natural landscapes that define North County, regularly speaking before the City Council, California Coastal Commission and other agencies in defense of open space, coastal resources and responsible planning.

While Welty’s name became synonymous with environmental advocacy in Encinitas, her son, Ryan Welty, said that chapter of her life did not begin until after she retired from teaching at Ocean View High School in Huntington Beach.

“She was a pretty incredible woman — wicked smart, very funny,” Ryan Welty said. “She didn’t suffer a fool, but she was happy to educate. I was lucky to have her as a mother.”

“The one and only Dolores Welty is an environmental inspiration to so many,” said friend Sheila Locko. “She was gentle in spirit but absolutely firm in her analysis and presentation on every issue. Always prepared with facts and figures, she was so compelling in her straightforward and logical presentations. She was honored by all — when Dolores spoke, everyone listened.”

In 1991, Welty, a founding member of the Batiqui-

by politics.

“What you got was purity — not politics, not about party or backing a candidate. It was right or wrong,” he said. “She was there to preserve the community.”

done alone.”

tos Lagoon Foundation, encouraged Locko to join the foundation’s board. The two became close friends and spent more than three decades working together to protect the lagoon, surrounding coastal habitats and environmentally sensitive areas.

Welty also spent roughly 20 years on the board of North County Advocates, a nonprofit that unsuccessfully sued the City of Carlsbad for allegedly violating its voter-approved Proposition E growth management plan by approving development without meeting promised standards for traffic, parks and open space.

Mayor Bruce Ehlers, who served alongside Welty on the North County Advocates board, said she belonged to a generation of civic leaders whose persistence helped shape modern Encinitas.

“She was one of the original Encinitas activists for the environment and community character and a consummate defender of our environment and the city of Encinitas,” Ehlers said. “She just had a way of speaking to officials ... basically tell us in her own words: ‘Do the right thing.’”

Ehlers, the principal author of Proposition A and former chairman of the city’s Planning Commission, said what distinguished Welty was that her advocacy was never driven

Ryan Welty said his mother’s commitment to environmental and social justice extended far beyond Encinitas. She participated in international human rights efforts through Witness for Peace, traveled to Latin America to document violence against civilians, helped co-found the California Environmental Law Project and openly challenged the U.S. embargo on Cuba by personally delivering medical supplies to the island.

There’s even a photo of Dolores Welty and former Cuban leader Fidel Castro hanging on the wall of the family’s home.

“She was fearless,” he said. “If she thought she was in the right, there was very little that would stop her.”

In 2014, Welty and Locko co-founded Save Our Bluffs, a nonprofit that grew to hundreds of members dedicated to protecting what Welty called “The Gateway to Encinitas,” one of the last undeveloped coastal bluffs overlooking Batiquitos Lagoon.

Over the next decade, Save Our Bluffs worked with city, state and federal officials to pursue funding and public acquisition of the bluffs, advocating for its preservation as open space and an ecological reserve.

Ryan Welty said his mother also played an instrumental role in the slowgrowth movement that led to Encinitas’ voter-approved Proposition A and worked alongside fellow advocates to protect public access and open space throughout North County.

“She did her work with the help of a lot of people,” he said. “She couldn’t get it

Former Encinitas mayor Sheila Cameron, who became friends with Welty nearly 40 years ago while campaigning to preserve 63 acres of open space at Indian Head Canyon, said the two shared a passion for conservation that grew into a lifelong friendship.

“It’s hard to lose a friend and someone who has been such a presence in your life for so long,” Cameron said. “She’s irreplaceable for me. She was a friend and a pal.”

In the final years of her life, Welty remained engaged in local projects. As secretary of Save Our Bluffs, she urged the California Coastal Commission in late 2024 to halt construction of Toll Brothers’ proposed The Cove development overlooking Batiquitos Lagoon until the developer repaired damage from a bluff collapse.

“She was a force of nature,” Locko said.

Leucadia neighbor Elena Thompson remembered Welty as someone who never hesitated when the community needed her.

“Any important community event that was about improving community character and public safety and environment, Dolores always rallied,” Thompson said. “She truly cared, whether it was saving the bluffs or trees or putting in a walking path.” Thompson also remembered quieter moments — watching blue herons around Batiquitos

Lagoon and sharing a love of Loreto, Baja California, where Welty owned a rental property and frequently hosted friends.

“A kind and gentle soul and a very good life,” Thompson said. Away from public meetings and environmental campaigns, Ryan Welty said some of his favorite memories were the quiet mornings they shared after he moved to Encinitas during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nearly every morning, he brought his mother a cup of coffee, and the two worked on Sudoku puzzles, crosswords and jumbles while trading stories and jokes.

“She had a magnetic personality,” he said. “She didn’t just enjoy laughing at herself, she was eager to do so.”

Even in her 90s, Welty maintained her independent streak. After suffering a stroke, Ryan said, she was still driving herself around town in her bright yellow Corvette.

“She lived a big life,” he said. “She was smart, fierce, unafraid and funny. She had a knack for making you want to live up to her expectations. She was pretty cool.”

A memorial service celebrating Welty’s life will be held at 11 a.m. Aug. 29 at San Dieguito United Methodist Church in Encinitas. “Dolores’ passionate legacy will live on,” Locko said.
