Election 2026

Race set in 48th District

North County host to pivotal House race

SAN

MARCOS

— The top two candidates in the primary for the 48th Congressional race have hit the ground running for the General Election in November, where the outcome of the race could determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond, a Republican, and San Diego City Councilmember Marni von Wilpert, a Democrat, will battle for the seat currently held by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Bonsall), who is not seeking re-election.

Desmond leads the 12-person race with 40.1% of the vote as of Sunday, followed by von Wilpert with 20.7% of the vote.

“Last night, voters across CA48 sent a loud and clear message: they’re done with high taxes, they want a secure border, and they want to be able to afford to live here,” Desmond said in a statement on Wednesday. “This was a big victory, but the real work starts now.”

Von Wilpert, who led nine Democrats in the race, has already been added to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's Red to Blue program, which focuses on key seats that could flip from Republican to Democratic in 2026.

She characterized Desmond as someone who will push the Make America Great Again agenda, raise costs, attack fundamental rights, and abandon working families, and

Education combats hate after shooting

Mosque attack drives local efforts to fight hate, bias

By Leo Place CARLSBAD —

Over the past couple of years, local groups have been working to combat misinformation about Muslims by speaking with educators throughout San Diego County and collaborating with school districts to ensure that all students feel seen and supported.

One group is Taalim, which means “education” in Arabic and

was formed in 2024 by parents in the San Marcos Unified, San Diego Unified, Poway Unified, and San Dieguito Union High school districts. The group focuses on making sure school district officials and teachers have the cultural awareness and education needed to properly support Muslim students and those of various Arab identities.

Involved in Taalim is another group based in the Poway Unified School District called SPARK, which stands for Supportive Parents Advocating for Respect and Kindness. SPARK gives presentations to staff at district schools about the basics

of Islam, how to support Muslim students, and how Islamophobia can manifest.

The prevalence of hate incidents against Muslims and Arab people highlights the need for this education, leaders say. People need to look no further than the deadly May 18 shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, which left three people dead and many who were present that day — including teachers and young students — traumatized.

“It’s definitely impacting our students across the board, whether they are Arab or Mus-

Summer Sessions Return to Jazz Evensong

What happens when the expressive power of jazz meets the quiet rhythms of re ection?

Every Sunday evening in Carlsbad Village, St. Michael’s by-the-Sea o ers an answer. Now entering its fth year, Jazz Evensong returns for its 2026 Summer Sessions, blending the beauty of Anglican prayer with the spontaneity and creativity of live jazz. Held outdoors on the lawn through the summer, it’s become one of North County’s most distinctive cultural gatherings and features some of the region’s best jazz musicians.

Think jazz isn’t for you? You might be surprised. Jazz Evensong isn’t about technical knowledge or knowing the di erence between bebop and swing. Many attendees arrive with little or no background in jazz and nd themselves drawn into the welcoming, relaxed setting. Whether you’re a dedicated music fan or just looking for a unique way to spend a Sunday afternoon, it’s an accessible entry point into a rich musical tradition.

In an age when many people describe themselves as spiritual but uncertain where they belong, Jazz Evensong also o ers something refreshingly simple: an hour set aside for beauty, contemplation, and live music. There is no pressure to have the right answers or arrive with a particular set of beliefs. The invitation is simply to listen, re ect, and experience the music. Many visitors who weren’t sure what to expect end up becoming regulars. It feels equally at home to lifelong jazz fans, curious newcomers, spiritual seekers, and anyone simply looking for an hour of beauty at the end of the weekend.

The music is led by the Jazz Evensong Quintet, featuring Gunnar Biggs, Keith Bishop, Joey Carano, Leonard Thompson, and Bob Weller. Collectively, the musicians have performed with renowned jazz artists, composed original works, taught at universities, and spent decades contributing to America’s vibrant jazz culture.

The conversation extends beyond Sundays through the Jazz Legends podcast, which recently celebrated its 100th episode. Hosted by Fr. Doran Stambaugh and members of the band, the weekly podcast explores the stories behind the music, highlighting the composers, performers, and history that shaped jazz into the art form it is today.

And there is even more to look forward to this fall. St. Michael’s Jazz Fest returns for its third year on September 26th with an exciting lineup that includes Monette Marino Keita, Euphoria Brass Band, the Matt Smith Neu Jazz Trio featuring Teryn Ré, and Mercedes Moore Swing. The Jazz Evensong Quintet and the neighboring Army and Naval Academy bands will also return to keep putting Carlsbad Village on the map as a jazz hotspot.

Jazz Evensong takes place every Sunday and is free to attend. To learn more about Jazz Evensong, the Jazz Legends Podcast, and St. Michael’s Jazz Fest, visit stmichaelsbythesea.org/evensong

Psych hearing ordered

Trial paused for competency eval

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO

— A competency hearing has been scheduled for a man accused of beating an elderly Escondido resident to death last month.

Judge Richard Monroy suspended criminal proceedings against Thomas Caleb Butler, 32, pending an evaluation by a court-appointed psychiatrist.

Butler is accused of physically attacking 69-year-old Army veteran Kerry Sheron outside Sheron's home near the corner of East Mission Avenue and Buchanan Street on May 20.

Sheron's home is well known locally for its prominent display of American flags and pro-President Donald Trump signs.

Prosecutors allege Butler punched Sheron, causing him to fall to the ground, then struck him several more times after he had fallen. A bystander who attempted to intervene was also injured, according to police, and Butler fled the scene before being arrested a few blocks away.

Butler was initial-

Judge tosses trustee defamation lawsuit

By Jordan P. Ingram ENCINITAS

— A Vista Superior Court judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by former San Dieguito Union High School District board candidate Kevin Sabellico against Trustee Michael Allman, ruling that the case targeted protected political speech and should be struck under California’s anti-SLAPP law.

Judge Marcella O. McLaughlin granted Allman’s special motion to strike on June 5, finding that Sabellico failed to demonstrate a probability of prevailing on his libel claim. The ruling effectively ends the lawsuit, filed in September 2025, which alleged that Allman defamed Sabellico by accusing him of submitting fabricated evidence to state election regulators.

“Anti-SLAPP law exists precisely for this: to protect people who speak on matters of public concern from being sued into silence,” Allman said in a statement. “Today’s ruling reaffirms that candidates for public office should be free from litigation abuse when exercising their right to free speech.”

Allman also criticized the lawsuit as costly and unnecessary.

“This case cost real money and was a waste of time. That’s how Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP) suits work — the cost of defending yourself is the punishment, regardless of how the case ends,” Allman said. “In this case, it didn’t work for Mr. Sabellico.”

The lawsuit arose from comments Allman made during the pair’s contentious 2024 campaign for the district’s Area 4 seat. In an October 2024 interview with The Coast News, Allman accused Sabellico and Encinitas attorney Bob Ayers of submitting doctored evidence to the California Fair Political Practices Commission, or FPPC, as part of a complaint alleging election violations related to political advertisements on Facebook.

Sabellico, who also serves as a Democratic political consultant and previously worked for state Sen.

Catherine Blakespear’s state and local campaigns, criticized the ruling, suggesting that a higher court would likely overturn it.

“I wouldn’t celebrate if I were Allman,” Sabellico told The Coast News. “This was a case of Michael Allman falsely accusing me and one other person of a crime — a crime that would have ended both of our legal careers if it were true. With all due respect to the trial court judge, there’s good reason to expect a reversal or remand by the Court of Appeal.

“There must be room for heated political dialogue, but somewhere along the way he crossed the line by accusing me of a crime he knows I’m innocent of, and he should be held accountable.”

In her ruling, McLaughlin found that Allman’s statements were protected political speech and that Sabellico, as a limited public figure, needed to show that he acted with “actual malice” — meaning Allman knew the statement was false or acted with reckless disregard for the truth.

The judge concluded that Sabellico failed to meet that burden.

“The existence of actual malice turns on the defendant’s subjective belief as to the truthfulness of the allegedly false statement,” McLaughlin wrote, finding that Allman presented evidence showing he reasonably believed the Facebook advertisement referenced in

the FPPC complaint was not legitimate.

The court also rejected Sabellico’s argument that subsequent reporting by The Coast News on the advertisement’s potential authenticity could not be used to prove Allman knowingly made a false statement at the time.

McLaughlin also wrote that courts must provide broad protections for speech during political campaigns.

“Those engaged in political debate are entitled ... to speak foolishly and without moderation,” the ruling states.

During the 2024 election, FPPC complaints alleged that Allman failed to include required disclaimers on Facebook advertisements and missed campaign filing deadlines. In response, Allman admitted to missing a filing deadline but disputed allegations involving the advertisements, arguing that screenshots submitted to the FPPC had been fabricated.

The Coast News found that Facebook records indicated the advertisements had existed at some point, although questions remained about why they no longer appeared in Meta’s public advertising database.

The ruling marks the latest chapter in a long-running political and legal feud between Allman and Sabellico. During the 2024 election, Allman successfully challenged Sabellico’s ballot designation, and a judge

ruled that Sabellico’s proposed use of the term “educator” was false and misleading.

The ruling comes about one month after Sabelli-

co filed a separate lawsuit against the San Dieguito Union High School District and Associate Superintendent Mary Anne Nuskin. In that case, Sabellico alleges that the district unlawfully removed him as a substitute instructional assistant after he completed the district’s onboarding process, and that the decision was political retaliation.

Court records show Allman is entitled to seek reasonable attorney fees and costs under the state’s anti-SLAPP statute.

But Sabellico, who said he is headed to law school, warned that future statements of a similar nature would result in more litigation.

“His ‘I didn’t know’ defense is only going to work once, if it even works this time. If he says it again, I’ll sue him again,” Sabellico said.

Municipal babysitters

By Jerome Stocks

Along with the San Dieguito Union High School District, the City of Encinitas has decided to share the cost and spend taxpayer dollars together on crossing guards for middle and high school students — including strapping 18-year-olds who are legally adults.

Yes, the same age cohort that stormed Normandy, flew B-17s over Germany, and humped packs through Vietnam now needs a kindly adult in a reflective vest to shepherd them across the terrifying 2-lane Santa Fe Drive to get to Algebra II.

Picture it: little Timmy, 17 years and 11 months old, AirPods blasting whatever’s left of his hearing, staring at his phone while a crossing guard halts traffic so he doesn’t have to look up from TikTok. Heaven forbid Junior develops the survival skill of “glancing left and right.”

Previous generations at that age were entrusted with machine guns, fighter planes, and the fate of Western civilization.

Today’s Encinitas youth? They get a human stop sign because the walk from the SUV drop-off zone might require them to actually pay attention to their surroundings.

This is peak California: where the state lectures the world about climate change, equity, and “empowering youth,” then treats high school seniors like fragile Fabergé eggs who might shatter if they encounter an unprotected crosswalk.

Many children, as early as age 14, are entrusted with babysitting, and eighteen-year-olds can vote, join the military (voluntarily, unlike the draft era), buy lottery tickets, and sign legal contracts.

But navigating a suburban intersection on foot?

That’s a job for the city taxpayers’ wallets. Half the costs anyway, the other half will come from property taxes paid by the very parents who raised these delicate flowers, unable to cross without supervision.

The same parents who allow many of these

students to tear through neighborhoods on e-bikes without any adult supervision, formal training, or licensing!

The irony is delicious.

tion didn’t need safe spaces.

Instead of teaching responsibility, we’re institutionalizing helplessness. An 18-year-old who requires a crossing guard is unlikely to conquer Silicon Valley, start a business, or defend anything worth saving.

This crossing-guard program perfectly captures modern risk aversion. We happily address perceived “safety” while ignoring real issues, such as academic decline and economic illit-

The country’s greatest generation was trusted with the fate of the free world. Today’s teens get escorted across Santa Fe Drive.

Previous generations survived “free-range” childhoods — riding bikes without helmets, playing unsupervised until the streetlights came on, and learning road safety through the occasional close call with a station wagon. Now we have a generation so bubble-wrapped that our local governments are subsidizing pedestrian escorts for people old enough to enlist.

What’s next? Crossing guards for Mira Costa College?

Of course, Encinitas isn’t alone in this soft-parenting epidemic. Cities nationwide coddle teens who binge-watch YouTube yet panic at the sight of a yellow light.

You may not like the “snowflake” label, but when local government pays people to hold stop paddles for near-adults, it’s hard to argue. The greatest genera-

The hidden cost of housing

By Alan Pentico

Have you looked at your insurance renewal bill this year? You might be in for sticker shock. From homeowners to renters to housing providers, Californians are all getting hit by soaring insurance costs.

Insurance is squeezing family budgets, with premiums increasing from nearly 7% and up to 30% or more for “high-risk” properties. Many rental housing providers in San Diego County are experiencing similarly steep increases. Unfortunately, the insurance problem has become a housing problem –because high costs drive up costs for homeowners and renters alike. While renters may not pay insurance premiums directly, they are affected by insurance costs. After all, a landlord’s insurance bill will eventually be reflected in rent prices.

This issue has become impossible to ignore. In recent months, there has been criticism of California regulators as insurers are seeking major rate increases. Mercury, CSAA, USAA and Farmers are raising rates this year.

Nearly one million California policyholders could be affected by pending or recently approved insurance increases. As one example, after massive wildfire payouts, State Farm sought and received emergency rate increases in 2025, including substantial rises for rental housing properties. Even after the deal was scaled back, landlords still face a staggering 32.8% increase.

are now opening renewal notices showing premiums that have, in some cases, doubled. Others are being forced into higher deductibles, reduced coverage, or expensive surplus-line policies simply to remain insured.

At the same time, they are also facing rising maintenance costs, higher utility rates, increased labor expenses, and growing property tax burdens. Compounding the problem, California rent control laws cap most annual rent increases at roughly 5% to 10%, depending on inflation, making it nearly impossible for housing providers to absorb or recover sudden insurance increases.

So, why is insurance so expensive? The National Apartment Association recently highlighted the

As insurance costs climb, they ripple throughout the housing market, making it more expensive to own, maintain and provide housing.

eracy.

Encinitas, I want to be the first to congratulate you. You’ve turned public funds into a comedy routine.

For the cost of those guards, maybe invest in a program that creates license plates for e-bikes, which must be displayed to park them on school property, so law enforcement can suggest rules-of-theroad training for riders who have trouble behaving.

Or here’s a radical idea: parenting classes to teach letting kids face minor risks to help them learn to make better decisions. The road to adulthood shouldn’t need a municipal escort. Previous generations crossed oceans under fire. Can’t this one be trusted to cross the street?

Jerome Stocks is a former mayor and city councilman of Encinitas.

The challenges extend beyond rising premiums. Insurers have restricted coverage or entirely withdrawn from wildfire-prone areas, forcing some housing providers onto California’s FAIR Plan – the state’s insurer of last resort – where annual coverage costs can run $20,000 to $24,000 higher than a standard policy.

That number matters because insurance is not an optional expense. Housing providers are required to carry insurance to protect tenants, employees, lenders, and the properties themselves. Without coverage, many rental properties cannot operate.

And this is not just affecting large apartment communities. Small housing providers are getting hit especially hard.

Many rental owners in California operate just one or two properties. These are retirees who invested in a duplex for retirement income, families who rent out a former home, or small business owners trying to maintain older apartment buildings. They

national insurance crisis facing rental housing providers, driven by natural disasters, construction inflation, and rising rebuilding costs.

California, unfortunately, sits at the center of this storm as wildfire risk has changed how insurers evaluate properties across the state. Even housing providers located far from fire zones are seeing major increases because insurers are spreading risk across their California portfolios.

Too often, the conversation about housing costs overlooks the rising costs of insurance. But as insurance costs climb, they ripple throughout the housing market, making it more expensive to own, maintain and provide housing.

We can’t ignore insurance rates if California wants housing to remain available and affordable.

Just as commuters are struggling to afford spiking gas prices, housing providers are straining under outof-control insurance bills. We need to stabilize insurance costs for housing providers – and for all of us.

Carlsbad planners OK 397-unit Salk apartments

Five-story complex offers 59 affordable homes

By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD — The

Carlsbad Planning Commission approved a site development plan for 397 housing units in an area of the city that would be surrounded by similarly sized industrial buildings.

The commission also approved the project’s environmental review, finding that impacts to wildlife and habitat could be adequately addressed through mitigation measures despite objections from an environmental group.

The 9.78-acre vacant site on the south side of Salk Avenue between El Camino Real and College Boulevard includes a 6.3-acre graded pad, according to city documents.

The property is one of 16 sites rezoned by the City Council in 2024 as part of the city’s Housing Element strategy to accommodate future housing growth and comply with state housing requirements.

Developers are proposing a five-story residential building with a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units. The majority of the units — 253 in total — would be one-bedroom apartments.

Of the 397 units, 59 would be deed-restricted for low-income households to satisfy state density bonus law and local affordable housing requirements.

The project is utilizing a 35% state density bonus, increasing the allowable density from 294 base units to 397 units.

It’s nice to have that diversity of housing somewhere other than the Barrio.”

Plans for the project include three interior courtyard areas at ground level, featuring a pool, spa and outdoor grilling areas. In total, the development would provide nearly 27,000 square feet of common recreational space, according to project documents.

imity to amenities and El Camino Real, and because it provides a type of housing not commonly found in the area.

“It’s nice to have that diversity of housing somewhere other than the Barrio,” Hubinger said.

Planning Commissioner Kiley Fitzgerald echoed those sentiments about the site’s location.

“I do like that it’s near businesses, it’s near where folks — young and old — are going to work,” she said.

Fitzgerald added that while the project’s benefits outweighed its drawbacks, she was concerned about the developer’s use of a density bonus waiver to reduce the amount of outdoor recreational space. She noted that one of the indoor amenities would be a golf simulator.

Gambill said Carlsbad is a “very golf-centric city” with numerous golf-related companies.

Planning Commissioner Nicholas Foster called the project a “no-brainer for approval” given the city’s housing needs, particularly for affordable housing.

TaylorMade’s stateof-the-art club-fitting and testing facility, known as The Kingdom, which features a 12-acre range and short-game facility, would be immediately west of the proposed development.

Gambill added that the five-story parking structure, which would provide 542 spaces, would be tucked into a natural canyon at the rear of the site

Joe Gambill, representing developer Hanover Company, said at the June 3 Planning Commission meeting that the design elements would be “geared towards trying to take advantage of the beautiful views of Carlsbad and the canyons that are right there.”

“Right now this is just dirt and it’s been dirt for a long time,” Foster said.

The Dire Need for A Wisdom Society

KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT WISDOM

Humanity has achieved remarkable progress. Scientific discoveries have expanded our understanding of the universe, technology has transformed daily life, and education has made knowledge more accessible than at any other time in history.

Yet despite these accomplishments, many of humanity’s oldest problems remain. Conflict, greed, fear, corruption, environmental destruction, and social division continue to challenge civilization.

Knowledge has given humanity tremendous power. Wisdom determines how that power is used.

History repeatedly demonstrates that knowledge alone does not guarantee progress. Without wisdom, power can become destructive rather than constructive.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING

Knowledge and wisdom are often treated as if they are the same thing. They are not.

Knowledge consists of facts, information, observations, and experience. It helps us understand how the world works and allows us to solve problems and make discoveries.

Wisdom goes beyond knowledge. It involves understanding the deeper meaning and consequences of our actions. Wisdom incorporates compassion, responsibility, self-awareness, and the ability to see beyond immediate circumstances.

Knowledge asks what is possible. Wisdom asks what is right.

A highly intelligent person may possess enormous knowledge while lacking wisdom. Intellectual ability alone does not guarantee sound judgment or meaningful understanding.

LIFE AS THE GREAT TEACHER

Wisdom cannot simply be transferred from one

person to another.

Teachers, books, and philosophers may provide guidance, but wisdom ultimately develops through personal experience and reflection.

Life itself becomes the classroom. Success and failure both become teachers. Adversity often forces individuals to confront assumptions, limitations, and patterns of behavior that might otherwise remain hidden.

Through experience, individuals gradually discover that wisdom is not acquired all at once. It develops through continual learning, selfexamination, and a willingness to grow beyond previously held beliefs and understandings.

The pursuit of wisdom requires humility. Those who believe they already possess all the answers often stop growing. Those who remain curious continue learning throughout their lives.

Wisdom is a lifelong process of refinement and understanding.

THE INNER DEVELOPMENT OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Modern culture often emphasizes achievement, productivity, status, and external success.

Wisdom develops differently.

It emerges through self-examination, emotional maturity, patience, and the willingness to understand oneself honestly. It requires individuals to look inward as well as outward.

Wise people recognize that actions create consequences extending far beyond the immediate moment. They understand that personal choices affect families, communities, future generations, and the broader human experience.

As awareness expands, responsibility responds as well, but the latter is mostly ignored.

The future of civilization may depend less upon acquiring additional knowledge and more upon developing greater wisdom. Technology will

Bobby Riggs seeks pickleball conversion permits

Noise

concerns

remain central to review process

By Jordan P. Ingram ENCINITAS —

The owners of Bobby Riggs Racket and Paddle Club are seeking city approval to formally convert seven tennis courts into 16 pickleball courts after operating for years without the required permits.

The Encinitas facility at 875 Santa Fe Drive scheduled a June 9 public meeting as part of the city’s citizen participation process for a project that would also amend the club’s decades-old use permit, expand parking, add sound barriers and allow more recreational activities.

According to project documents submitted to the city, the proposal would convert the site’s original seven tennis courts into 16 pickleball courts, add 40 parking spaces for a total of 70, install new landscaping and fencing, and repurpose an unused coffee shop into a players’ lounge.

The project also seeks approval for various activities in addition to tennis and pickleball, including badminton, padel, swimming, yoga and group exercise, as well as special events such as tournaments, fundraisers and private gatherings.

The application acknowledges that while the pickleball courts are already operating, “the proper permits were not obtained prior to any sports court conversions taking place to permit the change in use.”

The property is zoned Residential 8 and lies within the city’s Coastal Overlay Zone, which requires a Coastal Development Permit, a Design Review Permit and a major amendment to the site’s existing use permit.

The proposal comes after months of disputes between the club, city officials and nearby residents over noise generated by pickleball play.

As previously reported by The Coast News, the facility originally received county approval in 1975 for seven tennis courts, a club-

house, pro shop, swimming pool and parking. In response to the growing popularity of pickleball nationwide, the site was converted into 22 pickleball courts, prompting complaints from neighbors who argued that the increased activity created excessive noise and exceeded the scope of the original permit.

In January, city officials said the facility’s conditional use permit was under review because of the significant change from tennis to pickleball. The city also issued citations and required operational cutbacks after receiving numerous noise complaints from nearby residents.

Mayor Bruce Ehlers said at the time that city ordinances limit noise in residential areas to 50 decibels during daytime hours and

that the city was obligated to enforce those standards.

“The facility’s conditional use permit, initially issued in 1975 under county jurisdiction, is under review due to changes in use,” Ehlers said in January. “We have to do what’s right by our ordinances. We must do right by the protections and due process afforded the neighbors.”

A noise study prepared by Ldn Consulting and submitted to the city on April 18 found that operational noise from all 22 existing pickleball courts exceeded the city’s daytime noise limit of 50 decibels at nearby residential property lines.

Specifically, measurements taken in October 2024 and February 2025 recorded noise levels ranging from 63.6 to 65.7 deci-

bels.

The study recommended a 14-foot sound barrier along the eastern edge of the property and a 10-foot barrier along the southern edge to meet the city’s 50-decibel daytime and 45-decibel nighttime standards.

The plans call for 14foot sound walls along the eastern property line, 14foot fencing transitioning to 10 feet along the south side, and 10-foot fencing along portions of the west side of the site.

The project also proposes lowering existing light poles to 18 feet and installing new LED cutoff fixtures intended to reduce glare onto neighboring properties.

Club owner Steve Dawson did not immediately re-

spond to requests for comment.

“The day I received my first official complaint, I started working on a sound-dampening pickleball paddle that would solve all the issues,” Dawson previously told The Coast News.

Neighbors have maintained that the conversion from tennis to pickleball dramatically increased noise levels and activity at the site, affecting nearby homes. Supporters have argued that the facility is an important recreational asset for the community.

After the citizen participation process, the project will continue through the city’s formal review process, which is expected to include public hearings before the City Council.

For over 40 years, Russell Bowman has been delighting residents of San Diego County with his plant and tree expertise.

So, it’s no wonder Bowman Plant & Tree Care Specialists have been named in the San Diego Union Tribune Community Press “Best of North County” voters’ poll for tree and plant care for a 2nd year in a row!

He is lovingly referred to as the San Diego “tree doctor extraordinaire” by his clients, Bowman is known for transforming sickly trees and gardens into Disneyesque wonderlands.

Using his own proprietary blend of organic biological nutrition, Bowman uses techniques he picked up during his time as a horticulturist at Disneyland He’s done more than just care for sick plants and trees, he’s revolutionized both residential and commercial properties by the use of his organic fertilizer tanks that inject his proprietary formula through your irrigation systems.

He fills these magical fertigation

tanks monthly to keep your property looking healthy and vibrant all year long.

In a very short time, this program pays back through reduced water bills.

“When you give your body proper nutrition, it affects your overall health and boosts your immunity. so you don’t get sick.

The same is true for plants and trees. Bowman feeds complete “nutrition delivery biology” derived from earthworm castings to replenish the missing healthy soil biology.

“This is the secret to keeping your property looking like a five-star resort.”

Russell is quick to point out that healthy plants and trees are also environmentally friendly.

A healthy plant will be more efficient at photosynthesizing sunlight into oxygen and the healthy soil/compost helps bring down uses far less water.

He donates his time and expertise for the trees for the Point Loma Association and gardens at the Rock Church in Point Loma, Fort Rosecrans

KOCT funding

Projected budget surplus at a slim $130K

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— The City Council declined to provide additional funding for KOCT, the city's public-access television station, and rejected calls for more youth program spending before approving a nearly $744 million operating budget with a general fund surplus of just $130,000.

The council approved the budget on June 3 for the fiscal year beginning July 1. The city's projected operating appropriations for all funds in fiscal year 2026-27, including Measure X revenue, total $623.6 million. The budget also includes $120.1 million in capital improvement projects.

Earlier this spring, the city held a budget workshop to gather public input on spending priorities. Following the workshop, staff increased projected ambulance billing revenue based on current trends and added $26,000 in ongoing funding for the city's senior transportation program.

Staff also incorporated recent salary adjustments for elected officials and reaffirmed the city clerk's compensation.

The spending plan includes $21.52 million in Measure X projects funded by the city's half-cent sales tax.

Under the city's general fund, which supports most city services and accounts for about 40% of the total operating budget, revenues are projected at $239.82 million, while expenditures are expected to reach $239.69 million, resulting in a surplus of approximately $130,000.

“I have never seen a surplus so small,” Mayor Esther Sanchez said at the June 3 council meeting.

Several speakers urged the council to provide additional funding for KOCT, the city's public, educational and government access television station, which broadcasts local news, City Council

Road upgrades start this month

City cracks down on illegal firework offenders

By Leo Place SAN MARCOS —

The city will kick off a road improvement project along San Marcos Boulevard this month to improve traffic flow and safety near San Marcos High School and the Rancho San Marcos Village shopping center.

meetings, documentaries and community events on Cox Communications channels 18 and 19.

In addition to providing 24/7 public-access programming and live coverage of city meetings, KOCT operates youth mentorship and workforce development programs.

Kent Davy, chair of the KOCT Board of Directors, said the station faces significant financial challenges heading into the next fiscal year and needs city assistance to remain viable.

“I believe this station creates the social capital that builds a vastly superior community which is the city of Oceanside, but we face headwinds – as we’ve talked about at other times – of increased costs, equipment failures and cable-cutting, and we need your support,” Davy told the council.

KOCT receives public, educational and government access funding collected by the city through franchise fees paid by cable and video service providers. As more consumers abandon traditional cable services in favor of streaming platforms, PEG revenues have declined nationwide.

In 2018, KOCT received nearly $468,000 in PEG funding. Today, that amount has fallen to approximately $270,000. KOCT collected

Last year, the city provided KOCT with a onetime emergency allocation of $175,000.

The council ultimately declined to provide additional funding for the station in the upcoming fiscal year.

A council majority also rejected Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce's suggestion to redirect funding from other programs to increase support for city youth programs.

“We don’t have the funds,” Sanchez said, adding that the city continues to invest in and expand youth programming.

The council unanimously approved the staff-recommended operating budget and directed staff to add entrances to El Corazon Park to the city's unfunded capital improvement project list.

Beginning June 15 and continuing into August, the project will target the stretch of San Marcos Boulevard between Knights Realm and Rancho Santa Fe Road. Construction will take place Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

The project will extend the current left-turn lanes on westbound San Marcos Boulevard leading to Rancho Santa Fe Road, remove the left-turn option into the shopping center, and extend the fence along the traffic median.

While the area will be less busy than usual due to the summer break, drivers can still expect traffic delays and lane closures.

“The city appreciates the community’s patience as we continue making roadway safety improvements across San Marcos,” the city said in a statement.

Making the left-turn lane longer will help reduce traffic backups along the boulevard and onto Rancho Santa Fe Road. Simultaneously, the city will close the boulevard median, removing the left-turn option into the shopping center from the eastbound lanes.

Removing this leftturn option will help traffic to flow more smoothly and improve safety, the city said. Drivers will be able to access the shopping center from the westbound lanes of the boulevard and via Rancho Santa Fe Road.

Lastly, crews will extend the fencing along the median to prevent students from crossing San Marcos Boulevard mid-block and instead direct them to the designated crosswalks at Knights Realm and Rancho Santa Fe Road.

Fencing has also been added recently to the median along Rancho Santa Fe Road.

“Encouraging crossings at the signalized intersections will improve safety for students and drivers alike,” the city said.

Construction is also underway on the San Marcos High School campus this summer for sitewide athletic facilities improvements, including replacing the existing turf and track, as well as the shot put area, pole vault and long jump runways and replacing the soccer field.

Illegal fireworks

Individuals who set off illegal fireworks in the city of San Marcos will have to pay higher citations for repeated violations under new regulations recently adopt-

ed by the City Council.

Consumer fireworks are illegal in all parts of San Diego County. Currently, San Marcos imposes a $1,000 citation for each instance of selling, using, or setting off fireworks within the city, including firecrackers, party poppers, bombs, rockets, torpedoes, Roman candles, Sky Lanterns, and other devices intended for pyrotechnic displays or explosions.

Violating these rules also qualifies as a misdemeanor in San Marcos.

Under the new regulations, an individual will be charged $1,000 for the first violation, $2,500 for the second, and $5,000 for the third.

Mayor Rebecca Jones and City Councilmember Danielle LeBlang brought forward the item on the

Luis Angel Ortega Rangel Fallbrook June 4, 2026

Marjorie Lee Garland Oceanside June 1, 2026

May 26 City Council agenda. Because much of the city’s boundaries fall within the Very High Fire Hazard Zone, unpermitted fireworks can pose a major fire danger, city staff said.

“The increases are being proposed to reflect the serious threat to public health and safety represented by fireworks, with respect to the potential for personal injury as well as the threat of fire,” a staff report states.

The council adopted the recommended citation increases on the consent calendar and did not discuss the item.

Neighboring North County cities like Oceanside, Escondido, and Carlsbad have also been cracking down on illegal fireworks in the past year with new regulations. San Marcos’ new fee

schedule is similar to what was adopted in Oceanside last year.

Escondido’s new regulations have also shifted the focus from the individuals who set off fireworks to the property owners.

While fires are a yearround risk in Southern California, the risk will continue increasing as the summer progresses, especially in areas with dry vegetation and steep slopes. Firefighters battled two blazes in San Diego County on Monday alone — one in Sorrento Valley and another near the Oceanside Airport north of state Route 76.

San Marcos leaders encourage those looking to enjoy Fourth of July fireworks to view the city’s annual Red, White and Boom! event at Bradley Park.

Oceanside plans for SB 79 rollout

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —

The City Council recently approved modifications to its downtown density cap and inclusionary housing requirements, as recommended by the California Coastal Commission, and adopted a phased plan to comply with Senate Bill 79, a state law designed to boost housing production near transit.

The council’s actions finalized previously approved housing policies and established a roadmap for complying with new state housing mandates that could affect future development throughout the city.

The Oceanside City Council first established an 86-dwelling-unit-per-acre maximum in the downtown zoning district in October 2023. In January 2024, the council then voted to increase the city’s inclusionary housing requirement from 10% to 15%, requiring residential developers to designate at least 15% of proposed units as affordable housing.

At the time, the inclusionary housing amendment applied citywide except in the coastal zone, which required approval from the California Coastal Commission.

The Coastal Commission approved both the downtown density cap and the inclusionary housing amendments in February, but included several recommended modifications.

Under the downtown density cap, the modifications add language clarifying that 86 dwelling units per acre is the maximum base density, exclusive of any density bonus units. The revisions also clarify that, while the downtown area has a target cap of 5,500 units, the cap may still be exceeded.

The suggested changes to the inclusionary housing amendment include:

• Lowering the threshold for applicability from projects with 10 or more units to projects with seven or more units.

• Adding the state’s new “acutely low-income” category, which includes households earning up to 15% of

the area median income.

• Clarifying that affordable units must remain affordable for a minimum of 55 years, rather than establishing a maximum term.

• Clarifying that accessory dwelling units may be used to satisfy inclusionary housing requirements for residential developments regardless of whether they are single-family or multifamily projects.

“This has been a long time coming,” Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce said at the June 3 council meeting.

While supportive of the changes, Joyce said he was disappointed they were not applied to the coastal zone sooner.

“It’s unfortunate that we have adopted this now after we’ve approved thousands of units,” Joyce said. “We’ve lost hundreds of affordable homes that we could have included.”

The City Council also approved a phased approach to implementing Senate Bill 79, a new state law intended to increase housing production through transit-oriented development. The law permits low- and mid-rise housing on sites within onehalf mile of designated major transit stops, overriding certain local zoning restrictions.

Metropolitan planning organizations, such as the San Diego Association of Governments, are required to publish maps that identify officially designated transit-oriented development stops. Because SANDAG has not yet published such a

HEALTH INSURANCE

map, Oceanside created its own for planning purposes.

According to staff’s map, the city contains seven potential transit-oriented development zones, each centered around a Sprinter station: the Oceanside Transit Center, Coast Highway, Crouch Street, El Camino Real, Rancho Del Oro, College Boulevard and Melrose Drive stations.

Senate Bill 79, authored by Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom last year and takes effect July 1 in counties with at least 15 passenger rail stations, including San Diego County. The law allows denser multifamily housing near qualifying transit stops and has drawn criticism from Oceanside and other North County cities that argue it weakens local control over land-use decisions.

The law allows local governments, through a local phasing ordinance, to exempt or defer implementation at sites that meet certain criteria. As part of that process, cities must identify sites that are ineligible, exemptible or eligible for deferral under the law.

Ineligible sites include properties located more than one-half mile from a transit-oriented development stop; sites that do not permit residential, mixed-use or commercial uses; properties containing more than two housing units where implementation would require demolition of housing subject to rent or price controls; sites containing wetlands, including a 100-foot buffer; and properties identified in the city’s Vital and Sustainable Resources Element as habitat preserves.

Sites eligible for deferral until 2032 include properties that already permit

ly charged with attempted murder, elder

at least 50% of the density and floor-area ratio allowed under Senate Bill 79; sites within transit-oriented development zones designated as low-resource areas that already allow at least 40% of the aggregate density permitted under the law; properties located within a very high fire hazard severity zone or state responsibility area; sites containing locally designated historic resources; and properties vulnerable to one foot of sea-level rise.

Exemptible sites include properties that lack a pedestrian path of travel along a continuous paved segment within one mile of a transit-oriented development stop.

Mayor Esther Sanchez praised staff’s work but acknowledged that, while adoption of the item was necessary, she was not enthusiastic about the mandate itself.

“If we did nothing, we would have more than doubled our population,” Sanchez said. “I don’t think anybody likes it. I think this is very unfair.”

Ballot measure

A November ballot measure will ask voters whether to align the city charter with state law regarding prevailing wage requirements for public works contracts.

On May 20, Mayor Esther Sanchez and Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce directed staff to pursue a potential charter amendment “for the purposes of ensuring state grants qualification and to be consistent with state law.” If approved by the City Council, the amendment would be placed before voters in November.

Oceanside became a charter city in 2010 after voters approved Proposition K.

If approved, the measure would update charter language related to prevailing wage requirements, align the city’s provisions with current state law and eliminate ambiguity regarding eligibility for state funding. The amendment would also clarify the council’s authority over project labor agreements while maintaining the provisions for taxpayer protection, transparency and accountability.

The city estimates it will cost between $95,000 and $125,000 to place the measure before voters in November.

Del Mar budget targets road work

By Leo Place

DEL

MAR

— The Del Mar City Council is finalizing its capital and operations budget for the upcoming 2026-27 fiscal year, which will include additional allotments for the city’s new shared fire management agreement, annual paving, and more.

Del Mar leaders originally adopted a two-year budget for 2025-26 and 2026-27 last year. With the 2025-26 fiscal year coming to an end, city staff recommended adjustments to the 2026-27 budget based on current trends, receipts, and work plan goals recently shared by the City Council.

The 2026-27 fiscal year begins on July 1. For the General Fund, the city estimates total revenue of $26.3 million and expenditures of $21.2 million for the upcoming year.

These totals include an additional $2.1 million in expenditures and $1.7 million in revenues, approved by the City Council on Tuesday, compared to last year's original twoyear budget.

“At the time that some of the other agencies in the county are facing enormous challenges with their next fiscal year budget, I’m happy to report that the proposed budget update still maintains a strong financial position for our city,” City Finance Manager/Treasurer Marco Camacho said.

The final budget will come back for adoption later this month.

Top revenue sources for the General Fund are property tax, sales tax, and transient occupancy tax, or TOT.

ing whether it was politically motivated, though investigators have said they currently lack evidence to support that conclusion. Authorities are also investigating whether Butler and Sheron knew each other before the attack.

Butler was scheduled to be arraigned on the murder charge on June 5. Instead, the case was paused, and a competency hearing was set for July 17 to determine whether Butler is mentally competent to understand the proceedings and assist in his defense.

The San Diego

City staff said TOT revenue from short-term rentals (STRs) will be lower than expected for the upcoming year.

This is partly because the city did not gain Coastal Commission approval of its STR ordinance until February, and after that approval, only 99 of the 150 existing STRs in the city actually registered to be “grandfathered” in.

A significant amendment to the planned budget comes from spending on the city’s cooperative fire management services agreement with the city of Solana Beach.

In April, the two cities approved an interim agreement for a seven-person shared fire management structure, following the dissolution of a previous shared management agreement between Del Mar, Solana Beach, and Encinitas.

Del Mar will pay $1.2 million in the upcoming fiscal year for fire management, including its $830,000 annual share of the position costs as well as reimbursements to the city of Solana Beach.

However, factoring in funds already allocated this year and reimbursements owed to Del Mar, the total budget impact for fire services next year will be around $500,000.

City Councilmember Dan Quirk voted against the proposed budget, saying he wanted more time to review costs for the fire management agreement.

City Manager Ashley Jones reminded the council that the two cities are still negotiating a longTURN TO BUDGET ON 26

Union-Tribune reported that family court records filed last year show Butler's wife had been involved in multiple domestic violence calls, welfare checks and mental health-related incidents between 2020 and 2025, though none of the alleged incidents resulted in criminal charges in San Diego County. In a March 2025 request for temporary full custody of their young daughter, Butler's wife described him as an “unstable veteran” with “mental health issues” who would lash out and become violent.

Sports

SD hosts police/fire

contests

By Noah Perkins

REGION — North County will host multiple events during the 59th annual United States Police & Fire Championships, which run June 13-20 across San Diego County.

Mountain biking, cycling and disc golf competitions will take place in Escondido as thousands of first responders from around the country gather to compete in 40 Olympic-style sports.

According to California Police Athletic Federation President Jim King, more than 2,700 athletes had registered as of late May, with participation expected to approach 3,000 competitors by the start of the games.

King said participation from San Diego County agencies has increased this year, particularly among larger departments such as police, sheriff’s and fire agencies, which tend to have stronger representation in team sports as well as track and field and swimming.

San Diego’s larger agencies, he said, naturally generate higher turnout because of their size, though smaller departments continue to produce competitive athletes across multiple events.

“We’ve seen San Diego Police, the Sheriff’s Department and Cal Fire really do well,” King told The Coast News. “They’re showing up in the bigger team sports, but also in track and field and swimming. That’s not surprising because they’re the largest agencies by number, so you would expect that kind of turnout. But some of the smaller departments have really, really good athletes too — they’re very competitive and make it a lot of fun.”

While competitors will travel from across the country, King said larger agencies such as the Los Angeles Police Department traditionally field some of the strongest contingents because of their extensive sports programs and intramural leagues.

“LAPD has always been really, really strong in supporting our games,” King said. “They’re involved in the relay races, soccer, basketball and a lot of those sports.”

Beyond the competition, King said the championships provide a chance for first responders to connect with colleagues from other agencies while giving host communities an economic boost.

“The outlet that we provide for our public safety folks is really important,” King said. “We hear that from them.”

Cash Winters, 15, waited in the middle of the fairway on the 10th hole at Omni La Costa’s North Course for the No. 1-ranked men’s amateur player.

Winters had left his Chandler, Arizona, home at 6 a.m. to make the drive to Carlsbad with his dad, an Auburn University alum, to watch their beloved Tigers in the June 3 championship match.

Tournament organizers of the NCAA championships encouraged spectators to follow players into the fairways to get a better view of the action.

The rising sophomore at Perry High School had been closely following Auburn’s Jackson Koivun, the top-ranked amateur men’s golfer. Winters was among a group of spectators huddling behind Koivun’s ball when the Tiger walked up to it. Marshals politely asked the crowd to let the golfer through.

“Clear the way for the truth,” Winters said.

Koivun received the Fred Haskins Award as the top D-I men’s golfer, becoming the first two-time winner since Phil Mickelson.

The Auburn star then hit a fairway metal onto the front of the green.

“He’s a stick,” Winters said.

Koivun made a twoputt birdie to take the hole from UCLA’s Baylor Larra-

bee. He would close out the match with Larrabee on 15.

“Come on,” Koivun exclaimed as he pumped his fist.

Tournament organizers then took Koivun by cart to the 18th green to await the celebration for what would be a 4-1 victory and the second national championship for Auburn in the last three years.

Underdog Bruins

The championship match featured programs with wildly different pedigrees.

In addition to Koivun, Auburn had three other golfers in the top 125 of the

amateur rankings. The Tigers came to the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa ranked No. 1 in the country and received the top seed for the match play portion of the championship after shooting the lowest combined team score in stroke play.

In contrast, UCLA’s top-ranked player, Larrabee, is the 127th-ranked amateur, and the school needed to outlast a tiebreaker to advance to the eight-team match play bracket.

UCLA did have a kind of home-field advantage and enjoyed a strong showing of fan support. Five Bruins fans could be seen around the perimeter of the course

shirtless and waving their tops in support of their team.

Bruins Coach Armen Kirakossian said he was “overflowing with emotion” after his team qualified for match play after an up-anddown performance two days earlier.

“The last three hours have been crazy,” Kirakossian said June 1. “We had a huge cushion to make match play and then a colossal collapse coming down the stretch, but I’ll tell you what, I’ll give credit to our guys. “You could have been big-time discouraged after that, but they weren’t. They

came out and they were fired up and ready.”

He credited assistant coach Mason Banger with getting the team in the right headspace to advance from the four-team tiebreaker — although the Bruins’ improbable run began even earlier in the season.

“It’s been a crazy ride for this last month,” Kirakossian said. “The guys just all came together. There was a moment where we were way under .500 in the middle of the spring. We were not playing great golf and were getting our butts kicked. The guys knew it. It’s on them, and they just got together and figured it out. It’s been amazing.”

Larrabee even outplayed Koivun by two strokes during the four rounds of stroke play, finishing in a tie for sixth, at 9-under par, in the individual championship.

“This year, he was so disciplined the entire time,” Kirakossian said of Larrabee. “He never got rattled. There were multiple times where I could see he was in a tough situation, a tough break, and he handled it like a champ. It was not shocking to me that he finished top 10 in this tournament.” Koivun described Larrabee as “a great player.”

Other strong performances from the Bruins included Alex Papayoanou, who shot a 3-under on the first day when the course

— When Egypt returns to the World Cup on Monday, Salk Institute associate professor Eiman Azim will be watching as both a fan and a neuroscientist studying how elite players move before they know they’re going to move.

Azim, whose lab at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla studies how the brain and spinal cord control movement, said the difference at the highest level of soccer is not just speed or skill, but prediction — and how that prediction is constantly updated.

“At any given moment on the field, players aren’t just reacting; their brains are actively predicting the future,” he said.

That system is necessary, Azim said, because the brain is always working with delayed information. Sensory signals from the body take time to arrive, meaning real-time feedback is already outdated by the time it

automatically updates those internal models without awareness.

“That mismatch between what you predicted and what actually happened — those are errors,” he said. “And your brain fixes them all the time without you even being aware of it.”

is processed.

“All of these sensory systems are delayed,” he said. “By the time the brain registers what just happened, that information is already outdated.”

To keep up, the brain builds internal models that simulate what the body and environment will do next. When those predictions are wrong, the brain updates them through what Azim described as a continuous prediction-error loop — comparing what was expected with what actually happened.

Learning, he said, happens in two ways. One is explicit, where athletes consciously adjust after mistakes. The other is implicit, a subconscious system that

Central to that process is the cerebellum, a densely packed brain region that helps refine movement through repetition and experience.

“The cerebellum builds a model of your body and how it moves through the world,” Azim said. “Elite players aren’t just reacting faster — they’ve built more precise predictions of what’s about to happen.”

Azim said that system is running constantly in everyday life, but becomes most visible under World Cup pressure.

“Even just reaching for a coffee cup or kicking a soccer ball, you’re coordinating dozens of muscles without thinking about it,” he said.

He added that stress can sometimes disrupt those finely tuned predictive systems, helping explain why even elite athletes falter in high-pressure moments.

Beneath the pier (Part

2)

My best friend, Chicky, employed the game of panhandling like he’d invented it. The cute little blond waif in ragged second-hand clothes approached some old tourist lady like Oliver Twist.

He said his dad’s car was out of gas and asked if she could please spare a nickel or a dime to help them get home.

Just before approaching her, he would grab a cigarette butt from the sand, light it, take a puff, pass it to me, and insist I blow smoke into his eyes. If he looked like he was crying, he was sure to get an entire buck.

Beneath the pier is where I first heard the older guys talk about Hawaiian waves so big they blocked out the sun, and about surfers with animal names like Bull, Rabbit, and Buffalo who aimed to tame them.

We heard about a spot a few miles south of Huntington called Trestles, which was rumored to have perfect surf.

This forbidden Eden was guarded by thorns, however. It lay on the Camp Pendleton Marine Base and was accessible only to those courageous enough to face the “jarheads” who apparently viewed surfers as clay pigeons lined up in the crosshairs of their M14 battle rifles.

This was good because the waves were never crowded, and bad because it was rumored that Marines often shot at surfers who refused to paddle in.

To my knowledge, nobody was actually shot, but thinking your life was on the line made surfing Trestles infinitely more adventurous.

Someone said a place called Rincon peeled for a mile before evaporating into a lonely cove.

Since Surfer Magazine appeared only six times annually, and surf movies hit town just once or twice a year, we had no way of disputing or confirming such fantastic claims.

I heard that local hotshot, Ron Sizemore, hung heels while shooting the pier on a ten-foot wave.

When Sizemore’s photo finally appeared in Surfer, he was indeed shooting the pier in reverse.

He was not hanging heels off the nose, however, but was near the center of his board.

And the wave, rather than being ten feet, was

Get smart, bracket your domain name

In photography, bracketing means taking multiple shots of the same scene from slightly different angles, ensuring one turns out correctly.

Sometimes you’ll also get a little extra content around your target image, giving you a cushion to ensure you get the picture you’re seeking.

Bracketing applies to domain names, too. Because for the past 25 years I’ve used marketbuilding. com as the primary domain for my marketing agency, the MarketBuilding Team.

Sterling Nasa, a student of politics and international studies at the University of Sydney, found himself in an unusual spot recently: behind an electric keyboard during a live concert of the “La La Land” movie score. The 21-year-old was in the audience for the May 30 concert at the Darling Harbour theater in Sydney when composer and conductor Justin Hurwitz made an unusual request from the stage during intermission: Did anyone in the audience know how to sight-read?

The orchestra’s keyboardist had fallen ill, and local reinforcements were too far away to make it to the theater in time. “I figured nobody’s as close as they say they are,” Hurwitz said, “so I just thought, well, we have 2,500 people in here [in the audience].” Despite Nasa’s background in music — he plays piano, organ and bagpipes — he was initially hesitant to volunteer his services.

But with encouragement from his friend, he headed down to the pit. If being thrust into the spotlight weren’t enough, Nasa also had to play a tricky piece — John Legend’s “Start a Fire,” which has a complex solo that synchronizes with the character Sebastian’s (Ryan Gosling) frenetic piano playing on screen. With no time to prepare, Nasa improvised the piece, earning him a rousing ovation. “To be able to play a really cool solo in the right key, in the right scale, on the fly with no rehearsal — it was remarkable,” Hurwitz said.

Shelbee Dugger-Kemp of Texas has a birth story for the ages: She delivered her premature twins in the passenger seat of a moving car. According to People, Dugger-Kemp was at a campsite at the Texas-Oklahoma border with her family over Memorial Day weekend when she experienced stomach pain that she initially attributed to a bad batch of nachos.

At 31 weeks pregnant, she decided it wouldn’t hurt to pop over to the hospital to make sure everything was OK. Her husband’s grandmother, Mimi, drove her, and on the way, Dugger-Kemp quickly realized that her pain was actually contractions. “She said, ‘Oh no, Shelbee,’ and I said, ‘Oh yes, Mimi, it’s about to happen.’”

Escalated Quickly

— Eric Pierwsza, 48, of Butler County, Pennsylvania, is facing charges of causing a catastrophe, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct after using an excavator to tear down his family’s house after his wife told him she wanted a divorce.

On May 28, CBS News reported that Pierwsza had been out drinking, and when he arrived home, he and his wife argued, and she told him she wanted a divorce. According to the police report, Pierwsza told her, “If it’s over, I’ll tear the house down.” And he did — with his wife and two children still inside. Sounds of destruction could be heard on the 911 call.

Pierwsza then entered the home to grab a gym bag and fled the scene. He was apprehended in a nearby township. Luckily, no one in the home was injured, and his wife is seeking a protection-from-abuse order. The house suffered irreparable structural damage and likely will need to be demolished.

Man rescued near pier

By City News Service

OCEANSIDE — A man who witnesses saw jumping off the Oceanside Pier while fully clothed and carrying a backpack was rescued Sunday afternoon by lifeguards and firefighters, according to authorities.

Oceanside lifeguards and the Oceanside Fire Department responded shortly after 2 p.m. and found the unidentified man in immediate distress on the north side of the pier, where he had entered the water, according to a department statement.

“The first arriving lifeguard sprinted to the end of the pier and immediately entered the water to reach the victim. After making contact, the lifeguard secured the victim with a rescue buoy, preventing him from slipping beneath the surface and maintaining his flotation while additional rescue resources responded,” the statement said.

“At the same time, an Oceanside lifeguard personal watercraft already patrolling the waters north of the pier was redirected to the incident. Working together, lifeguards transferred the victim to the personal watercraft and quickly transported him to shore.”

Once on the beach, firefighter-paramedics took over patient care, providing advanced life support treatment and preparing the man for transport, according to the fire department.

The victim was taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla for evaluation and treatment of injuries sustained during the incident.

His condition was not released.

O’side welcomes LGBTQ Pride Month celebration

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — Pride is underway in Oceanside following a mayoral proclamation recognizing June as LGBTQ Pride Month and the city’s annual Pride by the Beach celebration.

For the past 19 years, Pride by the Beach has connected LGBTQ residents from across North County and beyond, drawing thousands to downtown Oceanside for family-friendly, alcohol-free entertainment and community celebration.

The event is organized by the North County LGBTQ Resource Center, located at 1919 Apple St. in Oceanside. In recent years, Pride by the Beach has attracted more than 20,000 attendees annually, according to the center.

Days before this year’s celebration, Mayor Esther Sanchez read a proclamation at the June 3 City Council meeting recognizing June as LGBTQ Pride Month.

“As we celebrate and declare June as Pride Month in Oceanside, we stand with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community in our own city of Oceanside as they declare their own pride in who they are and who they love,” Sanchez said.

Sanchez noted that June marks the origins of Pride celebrations honoring the LGBTQ community’s civil rights achievements, including the Stonewall uprising — a series of demonstrations and riots that began June 28, 1969, between police and gay rights activists outside the Stonewall Inn in New York City. The events helped launch the modern international gay rights movement.

While progress has been made over the years, Sanchez said LGBTQ community members still “face unacceptable levels of discrimination and violence” around the world.

The Human Rights Campaign declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ

people in the United States for the first time following what it described as a sharp increase in anti-LGBTQ legislation nationwide.

According to the organization, more than 75 anti-LGBTQ bills have been signed into law this year alone, more than double last year’s total, which was considered the worst on record at the time.

Sanchez also recognized the work of the North County LGBTQ Resource Center, which provides services related to employment, housing, immigration, gender-affirming care, therapy, awareness training for law enforcement and other professionals, substance use disorder treatment and more.

The center has invested approximately $12 million into the community through its programs and services since 2008, according to Executive Director Max Disposti.

Disposti, who attended the proclamation ceremony, said Sanchez has been a strong supporter of the LGBTQ community. He also thanked Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce, whom he described as another ally.

Sanchez and Joyce were the only two council members last year to support raising a rainbow Pride flag in recognition of Pride Month. A narrow 3-2 council majority initially voted

to raise the flag, but Councilmember Jimmy Figueroa later reversed his decision when the item returned for final approval.

“We still don’t have the votes to raise the rainbow flag,” Disposti said. “We deserve better, and I think the mayor and deputy mayor know that.”

Following the proclamation, the North County LGBTQ Resource Center held a press conference and symbolic Pride flag-raising ceremony outside council chambers, where local LGBTQ residents shared their experiences.

Simón Guzman, reproductive rights program manager at the resource center, spoke about his experience as a transgender Latino man living in North County. He recalled how painful it was when Figueroa changed his position on the Pride flag last year.

“It was a difficult thing for me to see as a Latino trans-person who had just come out,” Guzman said.

Guzman said raising the Pride flag serves as a reminder to LGBTQ residents that they belong.

“It’s bigger than these horrible things people say about us – but on top of that, it encourages us to come out, and I think it’s so important to be brave and keep coming out,” Guzman said.

Historical Society marks nation’s 250th

Inspired by the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Encinitas Historical Society is launching a series of interactive events celebrating an idea that consumed many in what was then known as the Pennsylvania State House 250 years ago.

“Independence days and emancipation proclamations are all aspirational,” said Hillel Schwartz,

The historical society will host a series of Independence Saturdays featuring interactive, educational activities that explore various forms of independence pursued by Southern Californians since the mid-18th century.

On select Saturdays between June and October, the Encinitas Historical Society will open its 1883 oneroom schoolhouse, which shares a parking lot with the Pacific View Arts Center, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the series. The events will be free and open to the public, funded by a grant from the Coastal Commu-

nity Foundation.

In addition to celebrating the signers of the Declaration of Independence around July 4, the series will conclude Oct. 3 with a celebration marking the 40th anniversary of Encinitas’ incorporation as a city. The first Independence Saturday is dedicated to the history of Black Americans and is scheduled to coincide with Juneteenth on June 19 and June 20.

Other groups being recognized include Japanese Americans on June 27, Native Californians on Aug. 8, American women on Aug. 22, Californians and San Diegans on Sept. 12, and Mexican Americans on Sept. 19.

The events will also feature documentaries, music, oral histories and activities with artists.

Romanella features Ruffino at inaugural wine dinner

Since opening last October in San Diego’s Bay Park neighborhood, Romanella Cucina Romana has quickly established itself as a destination for authentic Italian cuisine.

Created by chef and restaurateur Vincenzo Loverso, whose culinary journey began at age 14 as a pastry chef in his native Palermo, Romanella recently celebrated an important milestone with its first-ever wine dinner, a sold-out evening featuring iconic Tuscan producer Ruffino Wines.

Co-owner Gio Gargano and manager Giancarlo Guttilla ensured flawless execution for the 55 guests in attendance. Elevating the significance of the event was the presence of Sandro Sartor, Ruffino president and managing director, who was in the United States from

no’s rich history while providing tasting notes and insights into each wine pairing.

Prior to dinner, I had the opportunity to spend time with Sartor discussing Ruffino’s remarkable his-

The standout course of the evening featured lamb chop lollipops served with roasted potatoes and finished with a rich six-peppercorn sauce. The pairing with Ruffino’s Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Riserva Ducale Oro, a 95-point James Suckling selection, demonstrated why the wine remains a flagship offering.

Dinner concluded with chocolate cake topped with a decadent vanilla cream sauce with blueberries served with Ruffino Modus, the winery’s acclaimed Super Tuscan. The wine amplified the dessert’s deep chocolate flavors, providing a fitting finale to Romanella’s inaugural wine dinner celebrating Italian cuisine and one of Tuscany’s most historic wineries.

Post & Beam at Vittorio’s

Victor Magalhaes, pro-

prietor of Vittorio’s Italian Trattoria, recently welcomed guests for a Post & Beam Wine Dinner featuring three courses and dessert paired with wines from the Far Niente family of brands.

Breakthru Beverage’s Scott Blackburn shared the history and philosophy behind Post & Beam, a label inspired by the craftsmanship and balance reflected in traditional post-andbeam architecture.

Created by the House of Far Niente, Post & Beam produces approachable chardonnay, pinot noir and cabernet sauvignon using traditional winemaking techniques. The evening began with a panko-herb crusted cheese patty on toasted crostini with roasted tomatoes and arugula. The dish paired beautifully with the 2023 Post & Beam Chardonnay from Carneros, whose bright fruit and refreshing acidity complemented the appetizer.

The standout pairing of the evening was the braised spring lamb ravioli finished with pink vodka sauce and paired with the inaugural 2024 Post & Beam Pinot Noir. The wine’s bright acidity and red fruit made this the evening’s most memorable pairing.

For the main entrée, guests enjoyed Italian-style porchetta roasted with thyme, fennel, garlic and rosemary, accompanied by roasted vegetables and potatoes. The dish was paired with the 2023 Post & Beam Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing the winery’s classic Napa Valley style.

The evening’s biggest surprise arrived when

Blackburn offered a bonus pour of the 2022 Bella Union Cabernet Sauvignon, another Far Niente label. The Bella Union was arguably the wine of the evening. The wine demonstrated the quality found across the Far Niente portfolio. Guests concluded the evening with ice cream pie and a greater appreciation for the Far Niente family of wines.

Landing at the Regal Seagull in Encinitas

One glaring hole in my San Diego Beer Drinker resume has been

The Regal Seagull on the 101 in Encinitas. I’ve driven by it countless times and it has been recommended by local beer enthusiasts over the years, but for one reason or another I’ve not made it through the doors. Until now.

Last week I popped in for beers and dinner and was impressed with not only the tap list, but the local vibe as well. The bar was packed and the restaurant near full with what appeared a mix of regulars and newcomers. Unlike many bars and restaurants near the beach this time of year, the crowd appeared to be mostly locals coming in for dinner or after-work drinks. A lot of Padres caps, smiles and dogs.

The variety offered on the 24-beer tap list was also commendable. Eight were IPAs, as is expected for a San Diego establishment, but even within this style Regal Seagull has curated a thoughtful diversity, ranging from El Segundo’s Mayberry Gold double dry hopped to a local collaboration with Burgeon to the hard-to-find Russian River Mind Circus Hazy.

Belgian ales, lagers and fruited sours were represented along with blonde and red ales rounding out the lighter side of the menu.

The Padres were playing, and I noticed that Harland’s Cronezone lager was being poured frequently. (An argument could be convincingly made that Cronezone is the beer of the summer in San Diego.) Cronezone is a light American lager that is not light on flavor. Brewed with pilsner malt, flaked corn and New Zealand Cascade hops, this collaboration between the Padres' Jake Cronenworth and Harland Brewing also supports local charities.

For those who enjoy a dark beer even in summer, there were several browns, porters and stouts to choose from. Locally brewed Winter in Hokkaido matcha stout (Embolden) and Ketch’s Barreled, a rum barrel-aged porter, make for perfect end of the evening sippers.

The number of harderto-find beers from outside our area makes the Regal Seagull a must stop for the beer aficionado. Russian River (Santa Rosa), Figueroa Mountain (Buellton), Maine Beer, Pfriem (Oregon) and Brouwerij St. Bernardus (Belgium) are all on tap. It can seem overwhelming, but don’t fret: There’s a spin

wheel for choosing your beer if you just can’t choose. I wanted to get the full Regal Seagull experience, so I focused on the collaboration beers. First, I enjoyed Regal CC-Gull Pale Ale brewed with Craft Coast. It was a legitimate pale ale, just the right amount of hop flavor for the person that is IPA-resistant.

Next up was the Mine! Mine! Double Dry-hopped IPA made by Burgeon Beer. Much hoppier than CCGull, as is expected, but still quite light and easy drinking. I joined the crowd for a Cronezone lager to cheer on the Pads and finish up the evening. I won’t wait so long to return and give the beer

I Like this Beer!

After leaving The Regal Seagull, I popped into Duck Foot Brewing next door and picked up a 4-pack of Drink This or The Bees Die Golden Honey Ale. Brewed

with locally sourced orange blossom honey, this beer begins with a slightly sweet honeyed aroma, then the smooth, warm notes of honey and peach, and finishes surprisingly dry. It’s also gluten free for those who need or prefer. It has been a personal favorite since it debuted in 2015 and never disappoints.

Pacifica closing after 36 years in Del Mar

By Leo Place

DEL

MAR

— A longtime culinary staple at the Del Mar Plaza will be closing its doors in December after nearly 37 years in operation, restaurant owners have announced.

Known for its high-quality seafood, cocktails, and spectacular ocean views, Pacifica Del Mar opened as one of the first businesses in the newly built Del Mar Plaza at the corner of Camino Del Mar and 15th Street back in 1989.

Last month, Pacifica Del Mar shared a statement on social media announcing the upcoming closure and thanking customers for their years of patronage.

“Since opening in 1989, Pacifica Del Mar has been more than just a restaurant — it has been a gathering place, a tradition, and a part of the fabric of Del Mar and North County for nearly four decades,” the restaurant said on May 15. “While saying goodbye is incredibly difficult, we hope you will visit us one last time before we close our doors.”

Del Mar Plaza representatives confirmed they chose not to renew Pacifica’s lease for the upcoming year.

They thanked the restaurant for its many years at the plaza and said they will announce a new operator in the coming months.

“As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the guest experience and maintaining the highest standards for the Plaza, we periodically evaluate our tenant mix and long-term vision for the property. Following this review, we have chosen to move forward with a new restaurant operator whose concept aligns with our goals for the future of Del Mar Plaza,” said property manager Tamara Failla.

“We believe this exciting new addition will elevate the dining experience, contribute to the vitality of the Plaza, and better serve the evolving needs of our community,” she went on.

Over the years, Pacifica Del Mar has been a destination for visitors to the Del Mar Racetrack, loyal customers’ regular weeknight dinners and bar visits, and special events like birthdays, anniversaries, and wedding receptions.

While the city has changed greatly and now features several restaurants

at the plaza, Pacifica Del Mar has been credited with helping to define Del Mar’s dining scene with a classic menu that still features some day-one dishes, such as the sugar-spiced salmon. It has also survived major shakeups, including recessions, leadership changes (longtime owners Kipp Downing and Jacquee Renna-Downing sold it to Sangiv Chopra in 2016), and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many staff have also worked at the restaurant for a long time, some for decades.

“We are especially proud of the dedicated team members who have spent decades with us, with many serving over 10 years and several over 30 years. Their loyalty, passion, and hard work helped shape Pacifica Del Mar into what it became,” the restaurant said.

Pacifica Breeze Cafe, a related but separate sibling restaurant offering casual breakfast and coffee at the Del Mar Plaza, closed in late April, a couple of weeks prior to Pacifica Del Mar’s closure announcement.

Pacifica Del Mar is located at 1555 Camino Del Mar.

Planners advance Burtech winery, condos project

By Cameron Adams ENCINITAS —

A proposed winery and condominium development near Moonlight Beach cleared another hurdle on June 4 after the Planning Commission unanimously approved a final map for the project.

The approval allows the Burtech Mixed-Use project at 102 and 118 Second Street to proceed with a condominium subdivision comprising 16 residential units and two commercial units. Commissioners found the project's final map consistent with a previous version granted in December 2023, according to city documents.

The adopted map consolidates the existing lots into a single parcel and formally establishes 18 condominium units — 16 residential and two commercial. Three of the residential units would be designated affordable, including two very low-income units and one low-income unit.

Overall, the mixeduse development would total approximately 20,863 square feet and replace a collection of existing uses on the 0.41-acre site, including a former Burtech Pipeline storage yard and office area, a single-family residence and several studio units.

The Burtech family, which owns and is developing the property, also owns a vineyard in Vista and plans to use the commercial portion of the project

for a winery, tasting room and restaurant. The project received approvals in 2023 for the associated alcohol licenses and restaurant use.

According to city staff, the action was largely ministerial because the final map had already been reviewed and determined to be substantially consistent with the previously approved project. Staff also found all relevant conditions had been satisfied and that the map was technically correct.

The project includes the construction of a 36-foot-radius cul-de-sac at the end of Second Street, along with new sidewalks, curb-andgutter improvements, street trees and upgrades to the alley behind the property. City documents state that the project would include 17 parking spaces: 10 residen-

tial, three off-street commercial, and four on-street commercial.

Dominic Burtech, representing the family developing the project, said they continue to work with San Diego Gas & Electric to underground utility lines serving the property.

the project has been conditioned to underground utilities where required.

Burtech added that the intent is to rent most of the residential units, though some could eventually be sold.

Additionally, the developers hope to minimize parking impacts on surrounding neighbors by having residents use the project's off-street parking.

“That neighborhood is a really good neighborhood,” Burtech said. “I know the way our family is, we’re going to control it and we’re going to make it a beautiful place to live.”

Solana man dies in Del Mar crash

A 36-year-old man died last week after his vehicle veered off Jimmy Durante Boulevard, struck construction equipment and rolled over.

Deputies responded to the scene of the crash around 10:24 p.m. on June 1 in the 1900 block of Jimmy Durante Boulevard, south of the San Dieguito Lagoon.

— Leo Place DUI checkpoints tonight in Carlsbad

The Carlsbad Police Department plans to conduct a series of driving under the influence checkpoints on Friday, June 12, according to a news release.

The department said it will not disclose the checkpoint locations but noted that sites were selected based on data related to impaired-driving incidents.

Police said the checkpoints are intended to promote public safety.

“Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,” Sgt. Conrad Page-DeMorst said. “Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improve traffic safety.”

“We’re still working with them,” Burtech said of SDG&E. “Our intent is to put those power poles down. The only thing that will stop me from putting the power poles down is SDG&E – which will be out of my control.”

City documents note

The driver, identified by the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office as Tyler James Sidders of Solana Beach, was confirmed deceased at the scene, despite attempted lifesaving measures by first responders.

The North Coastal Sheriff’s Station is still investigating the cause of the collision, and it is unknown

Police noted that impairment is not limited to excessive alcohol consumption and can also result from some prescription medications and over-thecounter drugs. While California’s Proposition 64 legalized the personal use and cultivation of marijuana, driving under the influence of cannabis remains illegal, according to the California Office of Traffic Safety.

THE SWEETEST ESCAPES START CLOSE TO HOME

herself as someone who will fight to take back control from Trump.

“With control of the House on the line, there has never been a more consequential race for Congress in our region. This November, voters will have a clear choice: between more of Trump’s chaos, corruption and cruelty — or a leader who will stand up and fight for our communities," von Wilpert said in a statement on Thursday.

Desmond has earned Trump’s endorsement, but has made his mark locally with a long career in local politics, serving 12 years as San Marcos Mayor before joining the Board of Supervisors in 2019.

Desmond’s priorities are addressing homelessness through treatment, enhancing border security, supporting reliable energy options, and supporting veterans through vocational training.

Von Wilpert has served in local government since 2020, and previously worked as a former city prosecutor, federal labor attorney, and Peace Corps alumna. Her campaign focuses on protecting affordable health care and abortion rights, protecting LGBTQ+ rights, holding Immigration and Customs Enforcement accountable, and undoing what she said is corruption by the Trump administration.

Ammar Campa-Najjar, who battled with von Wilp-

ert to be the top Democrat on the ticket, lagged behind the San Diego councilmember with 10.0% of the vote. In a statement, the Mexican-Palestinian Navy veteran said his progress was derailed by millions of dollars worth of attack ads by super PACS and other political organizations.

The biggest spender was Democratic Majority for Israel, a supporter of von Wilpert, which spent over $2 million in television ads opposing Campa-Najjar within two months of the primary.

“Defeating the undo [sic] influence of money in politics is bigger than me, one district, or party. American democracy itself hangs in the balance, if we do not guard it with jealous anxiety, it will perish,” he said.

Following the passage of Proposition 50, the boundaries of the 48th District were redrawn to include portions of eastern and northern San Diego County and southwestern Riverside County. New areas in the district include Escondido, Vista and San Marcos in San Diego County and Palm Springs in Riverside County.

The final primary election results will be certified on July 10. Here are updated results for other primary races impacting North County:

49th Congressional Incumbent Rep. Mike Levin (D-Dana Point) and Republican challenger Armen Kurdian will proceed to the General Election. As of Sunday, Levin had earned

54% of the vote, followed by Kurdian with 27.6%.

Republican Star Parker came in third with 18.5% of the vote.

Supervisor District 5

San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones held a wide lead in the five-person race for the 5th district supervisor seat with 39.62% of the vote as of Monday morning. She will head to a November runoff with former county Democratic party chair Kyle Krahel, who earned 21.37%.

“I’m now looking forward to uniting voters to win the General Election in November, so that we can bring common sense back to the county Board of Supervisors, and focus on the issues that matter most to you — affordability, public safety, fire protection, better roads, and transparency,”

Jones said on June 5. “While we’re proud of this incredible primary result, now the real work begins.”

Vista Mayor John Franklin earned 18.95%, followed by former La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians chairwoman Norma Contreras with 11.36%, and public health official Sasha Miller with 8.28%.

District 5 is currently represented by Desmond. While the five-person Board of Supervisors is intended to be nonpartisan, party politics play a major role, with a current Democrat majority on the board.

State Senate 40

Former San Diego City Attorney Mara Elliott, a Democrat, and Republican nonprofit founder Kristie Bruce-Lane are both headed for the General Election

in the 40th Senate District race.

Elliott led with 46.6% of the vote, followed by BruceLane with 28.6%. San Marcos City Councilmember Ed Musgrove, another Republican in the race, earned 24.8% and will not proceed.

Either Elliott or BruceLane will replace Brian Jones, a longstanding Republican who will be termed out of the California legislature in 2026 after six years in the Assembly and eight years in the Senate. He currently serves as the Senate Minority Leader for the California Senate Republican Caucus.

Other races

Several races featured only two candidates, with incumbents largely favored in the primaries. In two-person races, both can-

didates proceed to the General Election.

In State Senate District 38, Democrat incumbent Catherine Blakespear held 52.7% of the vote compared to Republican challenger Laura Bassett’s 47.3%.

In the 74th Assembly District, Republican incumbent Laurie Davies leads with 54.1% of the vote over Democrat challenger Sergio Farias with 45.9%.

In the 75th Assembly District, Republican incumbent Carl DeMaio received strong support, with 60.7% of the vote, over Democrat challenger Gerald Boursiquot, who received 39.3%.

In the 76th Assembly District, Democratic incumbent Darshana Patel received 54.0% of the vote, compared to Republican challenger Carrie Espinoza Villanueva, who received 46.0%.

In the State Assembly 77th District, Democrat incumbent Tasha Boerner leads Republican challenger Trinity Hannaway with 59.7% compared to 40.3%.

Measure H

North County voters within the Tri-City Healthcare District also overwhelmingly supported Measure H, which authorizes a partnership between Tri-City Medical Center and Sharp HealthCare, with 92.25% voting in support.

Under the partnership, Sharp will assume operational and financial responsibility for Tri-City and plans to invest $100 million to modernize facilities and expand services.

O’side wraps harbor dredging, eyes long-term plans

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — Local

leaders celebrated the completion of one of the largest harbor dredging projects in recent history and the release of a long-term plan to replenish the city’s eroding beaches.

For years, Oceanside has replenished its beaches using sand dredged from the harbor by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The dredging typically occurs in the spring and wraps up in May ahead of the busy summer season.

Annual dredging is necessary because sand accumulates at the harbor entrance. Excessive buildup can make the channel unsafe or unnavigable for boats, affecting local businesses that rely on ocean access.

Donna Kalez, co-owner of Oceanside Adventures, a whale-watching company based in the harbor, said her business has had to cancel trips because the harbor entrance was too shallow to navigate.

“It’s a real bummer for us and our customers,” she said.

This past winter, severe sand buildup at the harbor mouth created hazardous conditions that likely contributed to two boats capsizing and another running aground.

As a result, approximately 320,000 cubic yards of sand were dredged from the harbor and pumped

onto Oceanside beaches this spring, significantly more than the roughly 250,000 cubic yards typically removed during annual dredging operations.

Earlier this spring, Rep. Mike Levin, D-San Juan Capistrano, secured more than $8.2 million in federal funding to support two dredging projects this year — one in the spring, which concluded May 9, and another planned for the fall.

Beginning next year, Oceanside’s annual dredging schedule will shift from spring to fall.

According to city officials and local experts, moving the dredging operation to the fall will help keep the harbor channel

open longer while allowing winter currents to carry sand southward to some of the city’s most severely eroded beaches.

“Today the harbor is safer, the beach is wider, and for the first time we have a plan to keep it that way,” Levin said at a recent press conference.

In addition to securing funding for two dredging projects this year, Levin helped advance a long-delayed federal shoreline study intended to address the city’s chronic erosion problems.

At the press conference, Levin announced that the Army Corps had released a draft plan outlining a long-term beach nourishment strategy. The

proposal calls for a regular nourishment cycle that would place sand directly on Oceanside beaches without constructing seawalls or other hard shoreline structures.

According to the Army Corps, the plan is the most technically feasible, environmentally acceptable and cost-effective option for addressing erosion along Oceanside’s coastline.

The city’s erosion challenges date back to the construction of Camp Pendleton Harbor in 1942, which disrupted the natural movement of sand along the coast. The federal government acknowledged responsibility for the resulting erosion in 1953 but never implemented a per-

manent solution.

The Army Corps later initiated a study to address the problem, but the effort stalled for nearly two decades. According to Levin, the agency had effectively abandoned the study when he entered Congress in 2019.

“For 26 years, Oceanside has been asking the federal government for one thing: a real plan to bring back the sand this harbor took. Today, we finally have it. And the answer is simple: sand, and lots of it,” Levin said.

City leaders praised Levin’s efforts to advance shoreline restoration and secure federal funding.

Mayor Esther Sanchez recalled discussing the

Army Corps study shortly after joining the City Council in 2000, but said she had never seen meaningful progress until now.

“It finally did happen, and finally came up with the best alternative,” said Sanchez, who favors natural solutions for replenishing the city’s beaches.

Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce said the benefits would extend beyond Oceanside residents to visitors from neighboring communities such as Fallbrook, Bonsall, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido.

“I know this is going to be transformational and our community is going to live off of this change for years to come,” Joyce said. The long-term nourishment strategy is expected to complement the city’s RE:BEACH initiative, which aims to keep replenished sand in place for longer periods.

Approved by the City Council in early 2024, the RE:BEACH project seeks to address long-standing shoreline erosion through a “living speed bump” concept developed by Australian firm ICM. The design includes two artificial headlands at the Tyson Street and Wisconsin Street beach access points, along with an offshore artificial reef intended to retain sand along the coast. The Army Corps’ draft plan is open for public comment through June 30.

Escondido ice rink skates ahead

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO

— The city is moving forward with plans to construct an indoor ice rink at Kit Carson Park following the City Council’s approval of a memorandum of understanding with the project’s developer.

The Escondido City Council unanimously approved the MOU with The Rinks Foundation on June 3 to explore placing the proposed ice rink in Kit Carson Park. The facility would be fully funded, constructed and operated by the organization.

The foundation is a nonprofit that operates eight hockey and skating facilities across Southern California, including The Rinks – Poway ICE in Poway and Great Park Ice in Irvine. Henry and Susan Samueli, owners of the Anaheim Ducks and San Diego Gulls, are the philanthropists behind The Rinks Foundation.

The MOU establishes a nonbinding framework for the city and the foundation to work together to evaluate the feasibility of building the ice rink at the south end of Kit Carson Park, where the city’s adult softball complex is currently located.

If approved, the project

would require relocating the adult softball complex to another location in the city. Francis Ryan Park has been identified as a potential relocation site, and The Rinks Foundation would contribute $4 million toward moving the softball facilities.

The MOU does not approve the ice rink project. Instead, it authorizes further exploration of the concept, including additional community outreach and public input.

The City Council is also expected to consider a lease agreement this summer that would provide the foundation with additional assurance to continue pursuing the project.

Under the MOU, the lease would run for 25 years following construction, with five options to extend the agreement by four years each, potentially allowing for a total lease term of 45 years. After the lease expires, ownership of the facility would revert to the city.

The facility would also designate a yet-to-be-determined number of operating hours each month for public programming.

The proposed rink would be modeled after

Great Park Ice, a $115 million, 280,000-square-foot facility featuring four sheets of ice and a 2,500-seat arena. The Irvine venue is the largest community ice rink in California, attracting more than 1 million participants and visitors annually.

According to Matthew Hicks, who spoke on behalf of The Rinks Foundation, interest in ice sports has grown significantly in Southern California, with youth hockey participation increasing 40% and women’s hockey participation increasing 200% over the past decade.

Many local families currently travel long distances during early-morning and late-night hours to access ice facilities due to limited rink availability in the region.

“A new facility in Escondido would help meet that demand locally,” Hicks said.

The local skating community lost a major venue when the Escondido IcePlex permanently closed in 2020.

If constructed, the new facility would serve as the official training facility for the San Diego Gulls, the American Hockey League affiliate of the National

Hockey League’s Anaheim Ducks.

The rink would feature three sheets of ice — one more than the former Escondido Ice-Plex.

Many residents spoke in support of the proposal, including 15-year-old Penny Cordero, a freshman at Orange Glen High School who regularly skates in Poway.

“Building a rink so much closer will open up so many opportunities for local teams,” she said.

Some residents supported the project but objected to its proposed location.

“This is a great thing, it’s going to do a lot – I think the location sucks,” said Lisa Richards, who suggested building the rink on commercial property rather than public parkland.

Other residents who live near Kit Carson Park expressed concerns about traffic impacts. Mayor Dane White said those concerns are valid and reasonable, noting that he was initially skeptical when he first learned about the proposal.

“I believe that taking this step will allow us an opportunity to address those concerns, especially around the community benefit and environment,” White said.

term arrangement for fire management, and that the current agreement had to come together somewhat quickly to ensure Del Mar had coverage.

“We were kind of put into a situation outside of our control, unfortunately, that forced our city along with Solana Beach to have to make some very quick decisions to make sure we had management coverage for our communities and for our fire departments, because we didn't get a lot of notice from the city of Encinitas about their exit,” Jones said.

City leaders also added $3 million to Del Mar’s budget for pavement improvements, including $2.09 million for annual pavement rehabilitation and $910,000 for Stratford Court pavement improvements.

The city also has the option of amending the budget in the future to add further pavement rehabilitation work in $1 million increments.

However, each additional $1 million will lower the city’s General Fund Contingency, which currently sits at 19.9%, by 4.5%.

“It’s really a pleasure to be able to sit here and talk about infrastructure investment, and not talk about deferred maintenance, like some of our neighboring cities. And I think we should keep in mind, even if we only did $3 million, that's $3 million more than anybody else in Southern California is gonna do on paving,” said City Councilmember John Spelich.

The cost for paving will depend on the bids the city receives. Public Works Director Joe Bride said the market is a bit unpredictable right now, partly due to fuel prices.

“It’s very volatile. The price of fuel is really making the price of equipment go up, and the price of asphalt has grown 10% in the last three months,” Bride said.

Capital projects

The city’s capital improvement project (CIP) budget for the upcoming year totals $19.9 million.

Planned capital projects still lacking funding are the $15 million Camino Del Mar Bridge replacement, which has a $1.2 million gap, and the Riverpath Del Mar project, which still needs $465,000.

Jones said the city plans

to contribute $9.2 million to the Camino Del Mar Bridge project and that, if outside funding does not come through, the city could fill the gap from its reserves.

The budget also includes $1.9 million from the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for the city’s San Dieguito Lagoon Levee, Habitat Enhancement and Trail Project, which will support habitat areas along the San Dieguito River and prevent future flooding.

Other capital projects include the 29th Street Seawall and Beach Access Project, with $1.3 million allocated, $595,000 for storm drain improvements, and $55,000 for a hydrology analysis along Coast Boulevard.

Last year, the city had optimistically budgeted $2.5 million in Smart Growth funds for the development of affordable housing on city-owned land. However, these funds were removed from the budget after the city did not receive the award.

Del Mar will also need to proactively plan for future equipment replacement, which is expected to total $2.5 million over the next five years. The balance of the city’s equipment replacement reserve account is expected to reach $513,000 by the end of the 2026-27 fiscal year.

Pensions are another area that requires attention over the coming years. Del Mar’s current unfunded accrued pension liability sits at $17.8 million.

In May, the Finance Committee recommended revising the city’s pension reserve policy to extend the timeframe for funding 100% of the pension liability from 2032 to 2037. This allows the city to allocate around $475,000 to the pension reserve annually for the next 10 years versus $1.35 million annually for the next five years. In 2026-27, the city will allocate just $250,000 to the pension reserve.

“The reserve policy continues to allow flexibility in order not to impact the City’s ability to fund other critical or important projects. Given the high prioritization of public safety and City street paving among other competing priorities, an additional transfer to the Pension Reserve is not included in the Budget Update,” a staff report states.

San Marcos gets Measure Q boost

By Leo Place SAN MARCOS

— The San Marcos City Council unanimously approved a balanced 2026-27 budget on Tuesday that includes $23.7 million in Measure Q sales tax revenues to support the city’s new Fire Station 5 and improvements to local infrastructure and parks.

The budget for 2026-27, which begins July 1, projects $104 million in General Fund revenues and $103.8 million in General Fund expenditures. The city is also planning a $21.6 million capital improvement project program, funded by various sources.

“I think today is a day to be celebrated because we have a proposed budget in front of us that is balanced and is fiscally sound, so I do want to congratulate everybody on that. I see all the hard work that is happening,” said City Councilmember María Nuñez.

Approved by city voters in 2024 and taking effect last April, the one-cent sales tax Measure Q is intended to fund maintenance of roads and infrastructure, public safety and emergency response, and parks and community spaces.

The tax will be in effect for 10 years, with the 202627 fiscal year being the second budget year to benefit from it. Proposed uses of the tax revenue are reviewed and overseen by the Measure Q Citizens’ Oversight Committee.

“Measure Q has provided critical stability and we’re using that opportunity strategically, not just to maintain services, but to strengthen the city’s foundation for the future,” said City Manager Michelle Bender.

Of the projects and programs that will receive

$23.7 million in Measure Q revenues, one of the most significant is the city’s planned fifth fire station that will serve northwest San Marcos. Fire Station 5 is planned for construction at the corner of Armorlite Drive and Las Posas Road, on the site of the former Karl Strauss beer garden.

The station will receive a total of $8.4 million in funding in this year’s budget, including $4.5 million in Measure Q funds. The total project cost is estimated at $25 million, with additional funds to be allocated over the next two years.

Another $9.4 million in Measure Q funds will go toward other public safety and emergency response needs, including replacing fire apparatuses and equipment and ensuring sufficient fire department staffing.

Another $5.6 million is allocated for road and infrastructure maintenance, including the city’s annual storm drain inspection and cleaning program to prevent costly future repairs.

Lastly, $4.3 million in Measure Q funds is allocated for maintenance and rehabilitation of parks and community spaces, including renovation of the flooring, kitchen, and restroom at Williams’ Barn at Walnut Grove Park.

City Council members said it’s evident that Measure Q funds are critical to supporting basic city services.

“It’s really hard to trust a city with your tax dollars, and we really want to appreciate the residents putting their faith in us. I really think we are following through on all of those promises and I'm really proud to support this budget,” said Councilmember

Danielle LeBlang.

The Fire Station 5 project will also receive $1.5 million allocated from the city reserves, which the city will replenish with interest in the coming years. Pulling from the city’s own reserves was more cost-effective than seeking a third-party loan for the project, staff said.

“These types of loans from external entities would cost millions of dollars in interest, and other finance-related costs, which would inflate the project budget significantly,” said Budget and Analysis Manager Janet Brotherton. “A loan from the city’s opportunity reserves would result in the lowest borrowing cost to the project and with interest payable to our reserves itself.”

This move will temporarily lower the city’s reserves from the target 40% level — one of the highest in the county — to 36%.

Budget basics

City staff said they expect a modest but positive increase in revenue sources in the next year, including a 5% increase in property tax revenues and 7% increase in revenues from charges for service.

Revenue from the city’s real estate portfolio is also expected to increase by around $2 million, due to the city’s completion of major capital projects and maintenance of existing real estate assets such as the Creekside Marketplace.

At the same time, cities across the country are experiencing inflation, and San Marcos is also accounting for a planned 3.5% increase in San Diego County Sheriff’s Office services under its contract, as well as additional increases in its pen-

sion liabilities.

The 2026-27 CIP budget outlines several new and ongoing projects.

In addition to Fire Station 5, other planned projects include condition assessments of existing fire stations, repairs to the Discovery Lake Bridge, the Discovery Lake Restoration project, the Bradley Park Master Plan, a General Plan update, the replacement of the Olive Street Bridge, and the city’s General Plan update.

San Marcos is also planning several road and traffic projects, including three projects related to San Marcos Boulevard.

These include a $3.9 million multiway project that will realign sidewalks and add new bike lanes separated from traffic, the $11.6 million reconstruction of the boulevard from Knoll Road to Rancho Santa Fe Road to replace deteriorated surfaces, and the creation of a transportation corridor plan for the boulevard from Twin Oaks Valley Road to Rancho Santa Fe Road.

Deputy Mayor Mike Sannella, who led the meeting in Mayor Rebecca Jones’ absence, said it is important for the city to communicate with residents about road projects so they can stay apprised and know what to expect.

“Once we’ve actually budgeted for it, we know it’s coming, it might be nice to give them a rough ETA,” Sannella said.

Councilmember Ed Musgrove noted that the city is also preparing to kick off a project with Caltrans that will address traffic issues at the state Route 78 offramp onto Nordahl Road by syncing the city’s traffic systems with Caltrans’.

Planning Commissioner Alicia Lafferty said that while the affordable housing component means

“ultimately this is a win for the city,” she remained concerned about the building’s height.

“It will stick out, it will be visible,” Lafferty said.

Planning Commissioner Roy Meenes said the project’s design fit well with the surrounding industrial development and was “very appealing for the area.”

“We certainly want to be good neighbors,” Gambill said. “We would love to do repeat business in Carlsbad so it doesn’t do us any favors to do a bad job on anything we’re doing.”

Two rescued from jetty

By City News Service

OCEANSIDE — Two injured people were rescued from an Oceanside jetty Tuesday evening after one was swept into the ocean by a large wave and the other entered the water in an attempt to help, authorities said.

Oceanside firefighters and lifeguards responded around 7 p.m. to the north jetty at Oceanside Harbor. Both individuals had managed to climb back onto the jetty but were unable to get off because of their injuries and hazardous surf conditions, according to the Oceanside Fire Department.

“A coordinated response involving lifeguards, the fire department and the Marine Safety Unit was ini-

tiated, and the injured were carried off the jetty, provided medical treatment, and were transported to the hospital for further evaluation and care,” the department said in a statement.

Fire officials said some of the highest surf conditions seen in years prompted the National Weather Service to issue a High Surf Warning for Southern California this week, leading to multiple rescues along the California coastline.

Oceanside lifeguards reminded residents that walking on or near jetties can be dangerous, particularly during periods of elevated surf.

“Slippery surfaces, uneven footing, and powerful wave action can quickly create dangerous condi-

tions,” the statement said. “For your safety, please stay off the jetties and enjoy the ocean views from safer locations on the beach or in designated public viewing areas.”

Carlsbad police to conduct DUI checkpoints

The Carlsbad Police Department plans to conduct a series of driving under the influence checkpoints on Friday, June 12, according to a news release.

The department said it will not disclose the checkpoint locations.

Police said the checkpoints are intended to promote public safety.

played the toughest on the week by scoring average.

Freshman Josh Kim picked up the lone point for the Bruins in the championship match, carding four birdies against Auburn’s Josiah Gilbert. Overall, Kirakossian found much to be excited about with his team this year and moving forward.

“We do not get here this far without how much they cared for each other, for the program and for UCLA,” he said. “It’s a group of really gutty guys that have big hearts and are willing to compete and give it everything all the time.

“Our future is obviously really exciting when you have two freshmen like Josh Kim and Tyler Loree and sophomore Baylor Larrabee. We are excited about what we have moving forward. I know that they’re going to be really hungry to get themselves back in this position.”

Individual title

Preston Stout of Oklahoma State University stayed warm after finishing his fourth round at 14-under. Though he held the outright lead, the University of Alabama’s William Jennings was making a charge as an individual since his team did not qualify.

Jennings made up for a double-bogey on 13 with birdies on 16 and 17, yet finished one stroke behind the Cowboy.

“I got hot and gave it a run but came up just short,”

he said. “Overall, there’s a lot of good things to take away but it just sucks to come up short.”

Stout continued his strong play in Carlsbad, having shot under par in seven of eight individual rounds the last two years. He became the 10th Cowboy to win the individual title.

“Our program has a really deep history and whenever you get to etch your name in Oklahoma State history it is awesome,” he said. “I am proud of myself and glad I get to do that.”

Winning moment

The first match of the day between UCLA’s Papayoanou and Auburn’s Logan Reilly.

Their match was all square heading into the short par-4 15th hole, with UCLA up in one match and within striking distance in two others.

At 371 yards on the scorecard, the hole was just outside of drivable, leading both players to hit less than driver. They both hit wedges into the green, leaving Papayoanou having the longer and flatter of the two putts.

He poured in the birdie, leaving Reilly a tricky downhiller to tie the hole, which he did to keep the match all-square.

Then on the par-3 16th, Papayoanou hit his approach to within 10 feet on the same line as Reilly had. That “teach” ended up not helping and the duo matched pars, remaining tied.

After they both record-

ed classic “Hogan” pars on 17, they headed to the final hole knotted up.

Papayoanou backed out from the address of his tee ball on 18 and seemed to ponder switching from driver to fairway wood on the 614-yard par-5 closer.

Ultimately, he stuck with the driver and snapped the tee ball into the pond left of the fairway. A rules official directed Papayoanou to a drop from the 10th hole of the other course at Omni La Costa.

After punching back onto the correct golf course and coming up short with his fourth, he needed a chip-in to halve the match.

Reilly would keep his ball dry on the hole and card a par. Koivun and Jake Albert had already closed out their matches by this point.

Papayoanou showed deft touch with his wedges throughout the match, saving a par on 9 with a high-degree-of-difficulty flop shot and another beauty to stone dead on 11.

He hit a chip shot that would count as a fine effort under any other circumstances on 18, but since it stayed out of the cup, it gave the winning point to Auburn.

“It means the world and you can’t dream of anything better, especially with the feeling of all the guys and the Auburn family behind you and supporting you,” Reilly said. “It’s unlike anything that I’ve ever done before. This is the craziest feeling, and I can’t wait to bring home the trophy to the Plains.”

CSUSM softball stars honored

By Noah Perkins

SAN MARCOS — Two Cal State San Marcos stars earned national recognition following the most successful softball season in program history.

Senior shortstop Jillian Albayati and senior center fielder Czar Fleischman were named to the 2026 NCAA Division II Softball Championship All-Tournament Team after helping lead the Cougars to the national semifinals in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Fleischman hit .400 during the tournament

with six hits, five RBIs and a home run, while Albayati batted .333 with three home runs and five RBIs. The pair became just the second and third players in program history to earn NCAA Division II Championship All-Tournament honors.

The recognition capped remarkable careers for the two seniors, who helped guide CSUSM to a 57-12 record and a national semifinal appearance. Albayati and Fleischman were also members of the 2023 Cougars team that reached the national championship fi-

nals site during their freshman season.

Albayati finished the year among the nation’s most dominant hitters, batting .514 with 20 home runs and 82 RBIs. Following the Cougars’ season-ending 4-3 loss to McKendree in the national semifinals, head coach AJ Robinson credited Albayati and Fleischman with helping elevate the program to new heights.

“Jill and Czar have been here the whole time,” Robinson said. “Their hunger to get here was a real driving force to this team.”

lim, or anything that can be misconstrued as being Arab or Muslim. They are scared, and they’re pessimistic about their future,” said Nadia Swanson, a San Dieguito Union parent and a founding member of Taalim who lives in Carlsbad.

Taalim has connected school districts with local organizations to provide further professional development and guidance on ensuring Arab and Muslim students receive the same level of support as other groups in local schools.

This includes advising the district about what community members need in the aftermath of hate incidents that happen in local schools, and how to support Palestinian students amid the ongoing displacement and killing of people in Gaza following the 2023 Hamas attacks in Israel.

“We are having conferences and events to include more people. We’re constantly trying to recruit people to help,” Swanson said.

SPARK focuses on teaching about the basic background of Islam to help teachers get to know their Muslim students better and be better prepared to support them if they face discrimination in a school setting.

Members of SPARK

have been giving presentations to staff at all Poway Unified middle schools during professional development days. They hope to expand next year to elementary and high school staff.

“We decided we want to work with the educators. We know Islamophobia exists, but we wanted to be in collaboration with the educators to make things better for our students,” said parent and SPARK co-founder Nadya Khan.

Parents involved in SPARK said district staff have been very receptive to the presentations. However, they have been surprised by how little educators know about this topic.

“Knowledge is key. Without knowledge, you can’t create inclusive spaces, without knowing who you’re creating it for,” said parent and SPARK member Saima Nasim.

Swanson echoed this, saying that it’s important for educators to understand that Muslims and Arabs are not a monolith.

“They didn’t understand that not all Arabs are Muslim, or didn’t even know that Arabs can be Jews,” she said, referencing a professional development for educators in San Diego Unified.

In reflecting on the shooting at the Islamic Center, members of SPARK and Taalim hope that more

education can dismantle hate and equip people with understanding. Investigators have confirmed that the two shooters, who took their own lives after firing upon the mosque and a landscaper, were 18 and 17 years old, and left behind writing that expressed extremist views with hatred toward several groups.

“I think these kids were driven by hate,” said parent Razia Naeem of SPARK. “People tend to hate when they don’t understand and they don’t know things. Online, there’s probably a lot of misinformation, and so hopefully we can just open up some understanding.”

In addition to this Islamic Center shooting, leaders said Arab and Muslim students are also feeling the impacts of wider world events, such as the United States’ war in Iran and Israel’s ongoing attacks in Palestine.

Tazheen Nizam, executive director of the San Diego chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said that in the San Diego region alone, reports of hate incidents against Muslims increased by 300% in the last quarter of 2023.

“We were carrying a lot of that pain, and then we were subjected to a tragedy of a different magnitude right here in our homes,” Nizam said.

closer to two. Since myth is more magnetic than fact, Sizemore’s legendary wave was not cut down to size, but continued building until it was over 15 feet tall.

Wave sizes, kegs drained, and gangs of hodads pounded by two or three valiant surfers were exaggerated for the sake of a good story.

Then, in the same way caller ID ruined the prank call, surf reports, video cameras, and eventually the omnipresent cell phone crippled the surf story.

There is no longer any need to dream.

We know a wave’s size and exactly how it’s ridden

before it even breaks. Such information makes surfing more convenient and less mysterious.

And, without mystery, surfing is sometimes reduced to a mere sport, a fun, healthy game played for points, cash, and Instagram likes.

Not all the following surf stories are mythical, however.

Some, like Woody Brown’s near-death experience in 50-foot Waimea Bay in 1944, are verified by credible sources.

But the myths are best left alone — dreamscapes that create Ulysses-sized heroes call us toward bolder versions of ourselves.

I hope this takes you there, even if there is no there beyond the limits of an eternal gremmie’s imagination.
