Outdoor dining

Patios stay put along 101

Encinitas parklet dining extended until July 2027

By Cameron Adams

ENCINITAS — The City Council has extended a temporary outdoor dining program through July 1, 2027, allowing restaurants to continue operating dining areas in both private parking lots and public right-of-way parking spaces while staff develops a permanent ordinance.

The city currently charges businesses operating outdoor dining areas in public parking spaces $2.58 per square foot per month, billed annually. The fee generated approximately $209,000 in General Fund revenue over the past year, according to city documents.

Outdoor dining now occupies 42 private parking spaces at seven businesses citywide and 47 public parking spaces along Highway 101 at 18 businesses. Of the private parking spaces, 22 are in Cardiff, 13 are in Leucadia, and seven are in downtown Encinitas.

Of the public parking spaces, 39 are in downtown Encinitas, and eight are in Leucadia.

The city has long wrestled with opposition from downtown retailers over its outdoor dining policy, some of whom reported a loss of business because customers were unable to park near their storefronts.

In October 2024, the city produced a parking study on the impacts of outdoor dining on parking in Encinitas, finding that while outdoor dining spaces in downtown Encinitas have reduced the parking supply, ample parking remains within a reasonable walking dis-

New sponsor keeps PGA stop at Torrey

By Cameron Adams

LA

JOLLA

— The future of the PGA Tour’s annual stop at Torrey Pines is secure after Sentry Insurance agreed to become the tournament’s new title sponsor beginning in 2027.

The sponsorship announcement, announced at a June 1 press event by tournament organizers and PGA Tour officials at The Lodge at Torrey Pines, ensures the continuation of the San Diego event after Farmers Insurance ended its longtime title sponsorship earlier this year.

The tour began playing the San Diego Open in 1952, with Torrey Pines Golf Course hosting the annual event since 1968. The next iteration of the tournament, organized by the Century Club of San Diego, is now scheduled to conclude

on Saturday, Jan. 30, 2027, under a revised PGA Tour schedule designed to avoid competing with the NFL’s conference championship games the following day.

For organizers, finding the right sponsor for the event was imperative.

“We didn’t want somebody to just slap their name on the tournament – that just doesn’t work in the model we have,” said Marty Gorsich, CEO of the Century Club. “We strive for excellence.

“I’m very excited to say we are fortunate enough to have found that great partner.”

The pairing proved fortuitous for both organizations.

Neighbors’ appeal clouds Leucadia market future

By Cameron Adams ENCINITAS

— An appeal filed by neighbors of Oak Crest Middle School has thrown the planned relocation of the Leucadia Farmers Market into uncertainty, raising the possibility of a weekslong shutdown that organizers say could cost vendors income, drive some businesses away and disrupt a community institution that has operated in Leucadia for two decades.

As construction nears at Paul Ecke Central Elementary School, the market’s home for the past 20 years, Leucadia 101 Mainstreet has been racing to secure a new location and avoid interruptions for vendors and customers.

Stacy Reddell, executive director of Leucadia 101, said organizers had “a very short window to find a site” that could accommodate the market’s needs and believed Oak Crest Middle School was a strong option, in part because of the “amazing amount of parking” available at the adjacent Encinitas Community and Senior Center.

The last day of school at Paul Ecke is scheduled for June 10, and until recently, the market planned to hold its final event there on June 7 before relocating the following week.

Under city procedures, the appeal now places the relocation approval before the City Council for review, with a hearing scheduled for the June 17 council meeting. Until the appeal is resolved, the market cannot move to Oak Crest. Unless organiz-

ers and neighbors reach an agreement before then, market officials said the weekly event will not reopen at its new location by the targeted June 14 date.

Even if the council upholds the approval on June 17, the earliest the market could begin operating at Oak Crest would be June 21, forcing at least a one-week interruption in operations.

Reddell said city staff must first prepare responses to the appeal before issuing a public notice that triggers a 10-day waiting period before the City Council can consider the matter. Based on that timeline, the earliest the market could resume operations would be June 28 — a delay she fears could permanently alter the market’s vendor lineup.

For some of the market’s roughly 130 vendors, even a brief interruption could have immediate financial consequences.

A May 28 appeal filed by neighboring residents,

including veterinarians

Dr. John Bjorneby and Dr. Kerry Mahoney, challenges permits approved earlier in May for the market’s relocation to Oak Crest. The appellants say they support the farmers market but oppose plans that would allow vendor booths, vehicles and parking on the school’s upper grass athletic field and running track.

The appeal asks the City Council to revoke the approval unless several conditions are met, including a prohibition on operations on the track and grass field. The letter describes that request as a “non-negotiable red line” and argues the market could instead operate on paved portions of the campus and nearby parking facilities.

In April, Leucadia 101 representatives met with neighboring residents and agreed to several concessions ahead of a May 12

zoning administrative hearing in hopes of avoiding a lengthy appeal, according to Reddell.

Faced with the prospect of missing multiple weeks of operation and running short on alternatives, Reddell said she has even considered asking Paul Ecke Central Elementary School to delay construction temporarily so the market could remain at its current site while the appeal process plays out.

Reddell said she feels “handcuffed” by a small group of active neighbors “holding all of us hostage” through a process intended to protect residents. An uninterrupted transition to Oak Crest now seems unlikely “unless a miracle happens.”

“I do believe the city is working hard on our behalf,” she said, emphasizing she does not fault city staff. “It’s the process that’s messed up.

“We’re in a bad place

right now because of protocol.”

Vendor limbo

For some of the market’s roughly 130 vendors, even a brief interruption could have immediate financial consequences.

Morgan Zuchowski, who owns Caña Love with her husband, Hector, said the Leucadia Farmers Market is their favorite venue.

“We love the Leucadia Farmers Market,” she said. “The fun community has become like a family to us.”

The couple sells juices made from sugarcane grown on farms in Bonsall and Oceanside.

Zuchowski said it “would be horrible” if the market’s weekly schedule were interrupted because of the financial impact and loss of regular customer and vendor connections.

“It’s really special to be part of a community that cares about your success as an individual,” Zuchowski said.

McHale Gentile grew up attending the Leucadia Farmers Market and said he particularly enjoyed the avocado sushi and vegan cookie dough sold by vendors. As a high school student interested in entrepreneurship, he learned the business at Rafikiz Foodz before launching Just Bananas at age 16.

Gentile said the community, mentorship and business opportunities provided by the market have been “the thing that makes

our business viable and possible.”

Now 20, Gentile has hired his mother, Steph, to help oversee the business while he studies mechanical engineering at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia.

Steph Gentile said the “magical” and “special market” has become a “ritual and tradition for people” while also serving as an “incubator” for small businesses like her son’s.

“People become friends waiting in our line,” she said, recalling one occasion when a customer paid for another person’s order after striking up a conversation. “Stuff like that happens all the time.”

Back home for summer break, McHale Gentile has been working on plans to expand Just Bananas. Steph Gentile said the uncertainty surrounding the market’s future has made planning difficult.

“Leucadia is what makes our business viable right now,” she said. “It does feel a little bit scary.”

Neighbors

Bjorneby, one of the neighbors leading the appeal, said he took on that role after speaking with other residents concerned about the relocation.

“The conditions were more than I expected,” Bjorneby said, “but when I talked to neighbors, it wasn’t enough.”

Bjorneby said concerns

A tale of two unions

By S.H. Chambers

Ateachers’ union is more powerful than a baristas’ union. Let’s examine this difference through the eyes of the Martins.

Mr. and Mrs. Martin live down the street from their son Danny’s school and a few blocks from their favorite coffee shop. Every weekday, Danny goes to school, and his parents go to the coffee shop for their morning cup.

Let’s say the baristas want a raise. To pay for it, the corporation would have to either cut its other costs or increase its revenue.

To cut costs, it would have to do things like use cheaper or fewer coffee beans or maybe use flimsy paper cups. To raise revenue, it would have to charge the Martins more for their coffee.

Doing either of these things might cause the Martins to buy their coffee elsewhere, where it’s better or cheaper. The Martins could even start brewing their coffee at home or just stop drinking coffee altogether.

If many customers did these things, the chain might sell fewer cups of coffee and risk going broke.

Think of it this way: A coffee shop can charge $20 for a cup of coffee and pay its baristas $100,000 a year, but, honestly, would you buy your coffee there?

The amount that the Martins will pay for a cup of coffee limits how much the corporation can pay its baristas and still stay in business.

It isn’t pay-as-you-go. If it were, the Martins would have to pin about a hundred and fifty dollars to Danny’s t-shirt each morning.

The school district’s money comes, rather, from

The teachers’ union enjoys more leverage than the baristas’ union. The worst case in a barista strike? Instant coffee.

taxes. The Martins pay about a thousand dollars a month in property tax, the lion’s share of which helps pay the school’s expenses, most of which are teachers’ salaries.

The Martins consider homeschooling, but decide against it because they both work, and neither understands calculus. They then consider selling their house and moving to a different district or state to find a better school. One of their neighbors did this, but the Martins feel tied down by careers, family, and friends.

So the Martins’ options are constrained. As long as they own their home, they are required to pay the tax that pays the teachers, as are the Johnsons. It doesn’t really matter if they are happy with the school or even use it.

Unlike selling cups of coffee, this indirect, diffuse, and mandatory revenue stream flows fairly steadily even when cuts are made. Moreover, even if the school district were to run out of money, it wouldn’t close like a coffee shop; the state would simply bail it out and take it over.

So the teachers’ union enjoys more leverage than the baristas’ union when it comes to cutting costs, but how about increasing revenue?

County firefighters urge charter reform

By John Clark

San Diego County has a population of 3.3 million people today, with a budget of more than $8 billion annually, yet the County of San Diego Charter hasn’t been significantly updated since 1978. That is particularly troubling to firefighters, first responders and law enforcement.

Firefighters adapt as conditions change — longer fire seasons, new risks and growing communities. County governance needs to adapt as well, with charter reforms headed to voters in November.

The people who deliver county services every day — firefighters, nurses, social workers, public safety staff and many more — share a simple goal: to serve the public effectively and with integrity.

But anyone who has worked inside a large public system knows this truth: When decision-making lacks transparency and accountability, it becomes harder to deliver for the people we serve. Good ideas can stall, ineffective programs can linger, and frontline workers are too often left navigating systems that don’t adapt as quickly as community needs.

That’s why the proposed county charter reforms matter, and why voters should pass them in November. The expanded independent oversight called for in the measure is a practical tool for making government more responsive, more accountable and ultimately more effective for the communities that rely on it.

Just as important, an independent program auditor would evaluate whether programs are actually delivering results. Too often, programs continue year after year without a clear, independent assessment of what’s working and what isn’t. That’s not fair to the public, and it’s not fair to the workers tasked with delivering those services.

Independent evaluation creates a feedback loop that is essential to responsive government. It allows policymakers to improve programs based on evidence, expand what works, and fix or replace what doesn’t. For workers, it means being part of a system that learns and adapts rather than one that stays locked into outdated approaches.

Accountability also depends on leadership. The charter reforms include public confirmation of key department heads and reasonable term limits for elected officials. These governance tools can strengthen the connection between decision-makers and the public they serve.

Public confirmation creates transparency about who is selected to lead major departments and gives both elected officials and community members a voice in the process. It reinforces the idea that leadership positions carry public trust and public responsibility.

This limits the power of the baristas’ union.

Now, let’s say Danny’s teachers want a raise. The school district, like the coffee chain, would either have to cut its other costs or increase its revenue.

To cut costs, the district might eliminate some school buses, use portable classrooms, reduce funding for field trips, or trim some elective classes.

The Martins might not like these cuts. As with the paper cups of watery coffee, the Martins might begin to look elsewhere.

But the school district isn’t a coffee shop chain.

If the Martins were to send Danny to a private school, they would still have to pay their property tax. So, in effect, the Martins would have to pay for Danny’s schooling twice; once with their property tax and again with the private school’s tuition. (Some of their income tax goes to districts with lower incomes and more affordable housing, so there may be a third time.)

A good private high school would cost about $40,000 a year. The tuition is higher than the Martin family’s property tax in part because their neighbors, the Johnsons, who have no children, also pay property tax, which helps fund Danny’s public schooling. In any case, the Martins, unlike some of their more affluent neighbors, can’t afford the tuition, so that’s out.

Sadly, increasing property taxes isn’t easy. Basic property tax increases are capped by law. Special property tax measures require a supermajority to pass, and the funds raised generally can’t be used for teachers’ salaries. In any case, most voters seem to think their taxes are high enough, so such measures usually fail. Even the Martins vote against them.

Fortunately, the teachers’ union has other ways to access revenues.

In the state, hundreds of thousands of teachers pay about $1,000 a year in union dues. This means the union receives hundreds of millions of dollars each year to ensure that teachers’ interests are addressed by the government at every level.

The union uses this money to influence who is elected, which laws are passed, how the laws are implemented, and where the state’s money is spent.

For example, due to effective lobbying by the

Two of the most important reforms — the creation of an independent budget analyst and an independent program auditor — go directly to the heart of how government responds to real-world needs.

Today, most budget and program decisions are shaped within the executive branch before they ever reach public debate. By the time proposals are presented, many of the key assumptions and trade-offs have already been made.

For frontline workers and the communities we serve, that can mean missed opportunities. It can mean programs that don’t fully reflect what’s happening on the ground or delays in adjusting services when needs change.

An independent budget analyst would bring greater transparency to these decisions by providing nonpartisan analysis of budget assumptions, alternatives and long-term impacts. That gives elected leaders and the public a clearer understanding of how resources can be aligned with community priorities.

The term-limit extension, in turn, ensures regular opportunities for new perspectives while preserving enough continuity for effective governance. It helps prevent stagnation and keeps leadership responsive to changing community needs.

Taken together, these reforms move the county toward a more democratic model of governance — one where decisions are more transparent, leadership is more accountable, and policies are more closely aligned with the people they affect. For those of us in public service, that’s not a theoretical benefit. It directly affects our ability to do our jobs well.

When the government is responsive, workers can focus on delivering services rather than navigating unclear systems. When decisions are transparent, trust improves. And when accountability is real, outcomes improve.

This November, voters have an opportunity to strengthen how county government works in practice. The reforms are about building a system that listens, adapts and delivers. That’s why it deserves public support.

The Dire Need for A Wisdom Society

PART THREE OF EIGHT

The Age of Distraction

By Dietmar E. Rothe

From the book

Evolving With the Infinite

Why has modern life become so mentally overwhelming? In Evolving With the Infinite, Dietmar Rothe explores how constant stimulation, distraction, and digital immersion are reshaping human consciousness. As attention becomes increasingly fragmented, Rothe argues that reflection, inner stillness, and self awareness may be essential for preserving wisdom and clarity.

THE FRAGMENTATION OF HUMAN ATTENTION

Humanconsciousness is increasingly pulled in every direction at once.

Modern civilization surrounds individuals with constant stimulation, urgency, entertainment, advertising, notifications, opinions, and emotional noise. Attention has become one of the most contested resources in modern life.

The human mind was never designed to process endless digital stimulation without pause.

Yet many people now move through life without silence, reflection, stillness, or sustained concentration. Moments of solitude are quickly filled with screens, media, distraction, or mental activity. As external stimulation increases, inner awareness often decreases.

A CIVILIZATION THAT CANNOT PAUSE

Modern society rewards speed.

People are encouraged to respond instantly, consume continuously, compete constantly, and remain permanently connected. Productivity and stimulation increasingly dominate daily life.

Yet wisdom develops differently. Wisdom requires reflection, patience, emotional balance, and the ability to think beyond immediate reaction.

A distracted society struggles to cultivate these qualities. Without reflection, human beings often drift unconsciously through life reacting rather than understanding.

DISTRACTION

AS ESCAPE

For many people, distraction becomes more than habit. It becomes escape. Constant stimulation can temporarily silence anxiety, loneliness, boredom, emotional pain, or existential fear.

But distraction rarely resolves the deeper causes of suffering. In many cases, it merely postpones self awareness.

A civilization addicted to distraction may gradually lose its ability to engage with deeper meaning, long term thinking, or inner development.

The mind becomes fragmented. Attention becomes weakened. Emotional exhaustion increases.

TECHNOLOGY AND HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS

Technology itself is not the enemy.

Scientific advancement has improved communication, medicine, education, and countless aspects of modern life. Technology possesses enormous potential to reduce suffering and expand human understanding.

The danger arises when technology begins controlling consciousness rather than serving it.

Algorithms increasingly shape perception. Media systems amplify outrage and fear because emotional stimulation generates engagement. Human attention becomes monetized.

The result is often confusion rather than clarity. Stimulation rather than wisdom.

TOWARD A MORE CONSCIOUS FUTURE

Humanity’s future may depend not only upon technological advancement, but upon whether individuals can reclaim mastery over their own attention and awareness.

A wisdom centered society would encourage balance between external progress and inner development.

Education would teach not only information and productivity, but also reflection, emotional intelligence, self awareness, and the responsible use of technology.

The challenge facing humanity may not simply be information overload. It may be the gradual erosion of attention, contemplation, and conscious presence itself.

Where attention goes, consciousness follows. “ “

REFLECTION

How much of your daily life is shaped by conscious choice, and how much is shaped by habit, distraction, stimulation, or reaction? Do modern technologies help deepen awareness, or do they increasingly fragment attention and inner stillness?

Crown Heights costs up

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE

— The city has allocated an additional $300,000 in federal grant funding to complete renovations at the Crown Heights Resource Center, pushing the project’s cost more than $1 million above its original estimate.

The Oceanside City Council unanimously approved additional funding from the city’s Community Development Block Grant program, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, on May 20.

Before the latest allocation, the city’s current fiscal year action plan had already designated $793,593 for the project. The city is also using approximately $1.9 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds and nearly $2.4 million from its capital projects fund to help cover the cost.

The city temporarily closed the resource center in late 2024. Originally estimated at $4.06 million and expected to take about a year to complete, the project encountered significant infrastructure issues and rising construction costs, delaying completion and increasing expenses.

The project is now estimated to cost nearly $5.4 million.

Designed by renowned architect Irving Gill in 1930, the historic building was found to require extensive repairs. A facilities assessment identified cracks in the walls, vegetation growing inside the building, exterior wall damage, water pooling on the roof, an unstable electrical breaker and upgrades needed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

“You couldn’t even plug anything in,” said Mayor Esther Sanchez.

The building’s historic character will be preserved through both interior and exterior renovations. Planned improvements include ADA-compliant all-gender restrooms, an expanded kitchenette, an exterior-accessible electrical room, ceiling repairs, mechanical, electrical and plumbing upgrades, restoration of the original wood flooring, restoration of the starburst window and door panels, new fencing, a roof-mounted HVAC system, ADA-compliant parking and building access and updated landscaping and irrigation.

Councilmember Jimmy Figueroa stressed the need to reopen the resource center for the Crown Heights neighborhood as soon as possible.

“That community desperately needs their community center up and running,” Figueroa said. “It brings so much value.”

Vista’s AVO Playhouse needs $1.8M in upgrades

City officials seek funding for historic venue

By Leo Place VISTA

— As local programming grows at the AVO Playhouse on Main Street, city leaders are exploring ways to fund $1.8 million in needed upgrades to the historic downtown venue to ensure its longterm success.

Opened in 1948 as a movie theater and acquired by the city in 1995, the AVO has served for many years as a space for local youth theater performances. Since 2024, the city and the Central Vista Business Improvement District (CVBID) have made various efforts to increase programming at the venue and make it more accessible to the community.

Last year, a temporary stakeholder committee gave a long list of recommendations for how to make the AVO into a modern, attractive, and multi-use event destination. They recommended that the city perform deferred maintenance and upgrades to the building and hire staff to promote, book, and manage the playhouse.

In late 2025, the city released a request for proposals seeking an operator for the AVO Playhouse who would also complete the needed upgrades, then estimated at $1.3 million. The city extended the RFP three times, but as of February, it had not received any sufficient responses.

“Staff received feedback indicating the limited response to the RFP was primarily attributable to the projected maintenance costs, which prospective operators determined would render operation of the facility financially infeasible,” said Assistant City Manager Imelda Huerta.

City staff regrouped and, on May 26, shared a new laundry list of needed maintenance for the play-

house totaling $1.8 million. It identified new lighting and seating, a new signage tower, sound and video upgrades, and more.

No funding has been identified yet for any of the upgrades. However, City Council members said last week they would be interested in prioritizing a new projector and screen to host more events, possibly using

funds left over at the year’s end.

“This is a lot of money. I think the AVO’s worth it, personally,” said Councilmember Corinna Contreras. “I think we will see a return on investment in the AVO, but again, going in line with what the council has been doing, I do think some of these can be prioritized over others and we can have a phased approach.”

Video and sound upgrades are expected to cost $60,000 each, and upgrading to dimmable LED lighting would cost $120,000. Replacement of the sign tower would cost $550,000, new ceiling tiles over the seating area would cost $350,000, and replacing the marquee with a digital display would cost around $220,000.

Recreation and Community Services Director Margaret Haimer recommended that the council prioritize safety-related repairs, such as new ceiling tiles and chairs, noting that some groups have complained about falling ceiling tiles and broken chair handles.

Encinitas details major sewer work

By Cameron Adams ENCINITAS

— Encinitas continues to invest in major wastewater infrastructure projects, with current-year sewer capital commitments nearly four times the amount originally appropriated for city-managed projects.

In 2024, the City Council adopted updated sewer service rates for the Cardiff and Encinitas Sanitary divisions and directed staff to provide annual updates on capital improvement projects and program execution rates.

eas, you’d want to have as priority, because especially if you want to have more and more people there and more activities, we want to make sure we’re providing a safe environment for those who are enjoying it,” Haimer said.

Mayor John Franklin said that while he would love to pursue the upgrades, he did not want to commit any money until the council had considered all other possible uses for the city’s surplus year-end funds.

“Before we spend all this money that we haven’t figured out where it’s coming from yet, I’m okay with putting together a plan, but I don’t want to get too excited about spending it,” Franklin said.

In the meantime, efforts are already well underway to bring more energy to the AVO.

Over the past year, the playhouse has hosted a series of events known as AVO Unplugged, including live music and podcast performances, a Shredtalk event hosted by the Vista Skateboarding Society, the SoCal Kpop Anime Fest, and Rocky Horror Picture Show.

AVO Unplugged is part of a larger initiative known as VistaMade, led by Vista-based Humble Pie Communications. As part of an agreement with the city, Humble Pie committed to bringing more live events to the AVO to activate the larger CVBID.

“What we’ve really tried to do during that whole efMT

According to a report presented on May 20, the city's wastewater capital improvement program encumbered approximately $6.95 million during fiscal year 2025-26, which is about 385% of the $1.8 million appropriated for city-managed projects, after accounting for contributions to regional wastewater agencies.

The largest commitment was the Olivenhain Trunk Sewer Capacity Improvements Project, which accounted for $5.3 million.

Ashlee Stratakis, a senior management analyst with the city, said the figure reflects funds carried forward from previous years and committed to long-term infrastructure projects.

“We've been setting aside money for projects, such as the Olivenhain trunk sewer, and so that's why you see that high number,” she said.

The Olivenhain improvements are intended to provide long-term sewer capacity, improve operations and maintenance, and reduce the risk of sanitary sewer overflows. In November 2025, the City Council approved a professional services agreement with Rick Engineering for preliminary engineering work on the project.

The project remains in the preliminary engineering phase. Design and permitting are expected to continue over the next three years because portions of the pipeline traverse environmentally sensitive habitat and private property, requiring environmental review and right-of-entry agreements from landowners.

The wastewater projects were highlighted during National Public Works Week, which the City Council recognized with a proclamation on May 20. City officials said public works employees play a critical role in maintaining infrastructure systems, including water and wastewater facilities, that support public health, safety and quality of life for residents.

The city is also advancing the Olivenhain Trunk Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation Improvements Phase 1B project, which will rehabilitate 19 remaining manholes along the trunk sewer. The project is currently undergoing right-of-way acquisition and environmental permitting, with construction anticipated to begin in summer 2027. Another project underway is preliminary engineering for upgrades to the Cardiff Pump Station, where the city is evaluating replacement of aging electrical and instrumentation control systems at the more than 60-year-old facility.

The City Council also recently awarded a $1.12 million construction contract to Whillock Contracting Inc. for the Cottonwood Creek Sewer Improvements Project, which will replace aging sewer facilities along Cottonwood Creek west of Interstate 5 and north of Encinitas Boulevard, install four new manholes and rehabilitate a maintenance access road.

The council approved the contract along with a 15% contingency and $210,000 for inspection, biological monitoring and materials testing, bringing the total project authorization to approximately $1.5 million.

“We're being very diligent about how we both protect and preserve our native habitat, our specialized habitat in these areas,” Councilmember Joy Lyndes said. “Some of it's within our Encinitas habitat stewardship program areas and we're looking to avoid impacts. And where we can't avoid impacts, to restore and revegetate.”

ENCINITAS RECENTLY approved an MOU to help fund crossing guards at SDUHSD schools. File photo/Leo Place

City helps fund crossing guards

By Cameron Adams

ENCINITAS — The Encinitas City Council approved a cost-sharing agreement with the San Dieguito Union High School District for crossing guards at three campuses but delayed action on a similar agreement with the Encinitas Union School District pending additional information.

The city has partnered with local school districts on school crossing guard programs since the 201920 school year and currently shares the cost of guards stationed near several elementary, middle and high schools throughout Encinitas.

The memorandum of understanding with SDUHSD calls for the city to contribute up to $43,773 — half of the program’s cost — for three crossing guards during the 202627 school year. The guards will be stationed at Oak Crest Middle School, Diegueño Middle School and San Dieguito Academy during pickup and drop-off periods.

The crossing guard locations are at Balour Drive and Oakcrest Park Drive near Oak Crest Middle School, Avenida La Posta near Diegueño Middle School’s back gate, and the Santa Fe Drive crossing and driveway entrance at San Dieguito Academy.

Justin Conn, who will become San Dieguito Academy’s principal in the upcoming school year after serving in the same role at La Costa Canyon High School since 2022, told the council that the addition of a crossing guard near the SDA parking lot along Santa Fe Drive has had an “immediate and profound” impact,” improving safety for pedestrians and bicyclists in the area while also easing traffic congestion for drivers.

“The presence of a dedicated professional managing pedestrian traffic has eliminated the dangerous guessing game that existed between distracted teenage pedestrians and hurried drivers,” Conn said.

The council unanimously approved the SDUHSD agreement on May 27 and added a requirement that the district provide safety data either in writing or to the city’s School District Liaison

Big waves, special needs in O’side

Free surf lessons a beloved program for local students

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —

A local surf school and a nonprofit organization serving people with developmental disabilities have continued a more than 20-year tradition of teaching students with special needs how to surf.

In August 2024, the City Council awarded a $260,196 consulting agreement to New Line Skateparks Inc. to design the Westside Park Skate Spot.

Washington Park is currently home to the city’s only skatepark after the Escondido Sports Center Skatepark at Kit Carson Park permanently closed last year due to safety deficiencies.

Committee by May 1, 2027.

The agreement covers the 2026-27 school year and will remain in effect through June 30, 2027. As with previous years, the district will be responsible for hiring, training and managing the crossing guards.

At the same meeting, the council unanimously voted to continue consideration of a similar agreement with EUSD and directed staff to return before the July recess with additional information, including details about crossing guard locations and confirmation of a new bus stop serving Paul Ecke Central Elementary School.

The proposed EUSD agreement calls for the city to contribute up to $155,589, representing 50% of the program’s cost, for 11 crossing guards during the upcoming school year. The guards would serve locations near Capri Elementary School, Flora Vista Elementary School, Ocean Knoll Elementary School, Park Dale Lane Elementary School and Paul Ecke Central Elementary School.

No new crossing guard locations were proposed by either school district for the 2026-27 school year, and all locations would remain the same as those used during the current school year.

Mayor Bruce Ehlers said he supports continuing the city’s participation in the program, particularly because the districts share half of the cost.

Ehlers said he was comfortable postponing the EUSD agreement after City Manager Jennifer Campbell confirmed it could return to the council in June before the summer recess.

Councilmember Luke Shaffer said seeking additional information about the Ecke school aligns with the council’s broader efforts to improve city processes, citing recent discussions regarding EcoFest and surf permit policies.

Shaffer said the effort “isn’t to hold anything back,” but about getting “better metrics” to help ensure “our kids are staying safe.”

“These MOUs are really where the rubber meets the road,” Shaffer said.

Volunteers and staff from Surfin Fire Oceanside recently taught students from the TERI Campus of Life’s two private schools — The Learning Academy and The Country School — how to surf during a May 21 day camp.

The partnership began about two decades ago when Surfin Fire founder Jon Peterson co-owned GLS Soft Surf Boards near the TERI (Training, Education and Resource Institute) schools on Airport Road in Oceanside. Jon Peterson frequently saw students walking outside, which eventually inspired him to approach the schools and offer a free surf day for their students.

“It’s been a tradition ever since,” said Kyla Peterson, Jon’s daughter, who took over the Oceanside branch of Surfin Fire a few years ago. Jon Peterson continues to operate the surf school’s Encinitas location.

Kyla Peterson said she knew she needed to continue the tradition after taking over the Oceanside business.

For several students, it was their first time surfing, although Peterson recognized a few familiar faces from last year’s group. Many of the students had been looking forward to surf day throughout the school year.

“It’s literally the best day of the entire school year,” said Shane Hamilton, director of The Country School. “It gives our students an opportunity they may otherwise not have.”

Hamilton has worked with the Petersons — first Jon and now Kyla — since the beginning of the free surf day program. She said the day’s greatest benefit is giving students the freedom of being in the water.

According to Peterson, the students are not the only ones who enjoy free surf day.

“Surfing brings so much joy to so many people, so when you see the kids experiencing it, it spreads to everyone just experiencing joy and happiness,” Peterson said. “Our volunteers and parents love it too.”

One of those volunteers was Lauren Sweeten, an Oceanside resident and Marine Corps veteran who moved to the area in 2017 while stationed at Camp Pendleton. When she heard about the free surf day, she felt called to help.

“A program like this is especially impactful for children,” Sweeten said. “When you tell them you can do anything, they believe you, and they take that forward into adulthood and have this self-confidence that is internal.”

TERI provides more than 20 programs to approximately 900 individuals with special needs of all ages, including early intervention therapy, arts and enrichment programs, respite care, residential services and education through its two Oceanside schools.

While The Country School and The Learning Academy are located in Oceanside, TERI’s main Campus of Life is on Twin Oaks Valley Road in San Marcos. The campus has undergone several construction projects in recent years to expand its footprint, and once the next phase is completed, the two schools will eventually relocate there as well.

Escondido OKs $1.3M contract for skate spot

The city awarded a nearly $1.3 million contract late last month to build the Westside Park Skate Spot, helping address a local demand for more skateparks.

The Escondido City Council unanimously approved the contract on May

Graciela Arroyo Del Mar May 26, 2026

Hien Tran Huynh Escondido May 21, 2026

20 with GeoCon Engineering Inc., also known as GeoCon Skateparks Inc. According to its website, GeoCon is a specialty skatepark builder based in Ramona that has constructed several parks throughout Southern California, including Poods Skatepark in Encinitas, and beyond.

GeoCon submitted the lowest of six bids the city received for the project in April.

Jason Christman, the city’s interim engineer, said staff verified the company was in good standing with the Department of Industrial Relations.

“The project will provide much needed relief to the demand from the community for more skate parks,” Christman said.

The 3-acre park at 333 S. Spruce Street currently includes basketball courts, picnic tables, a shade structure, a tot-lot playground, restrooms and an open turf area.

The city’s need for additional skateparks grew following the success of the Washington Park Skate Spot, which was added about five years ago.

For many Escondido youths, skateboarding provides an outdoor recreational activity that keeps them occupied and out of trouble. According to several community members, providing skateboarders with a designated place to ride can help prevent skateboarding and potential vandalism elsewhere in the city.

Councilmember Judy Fitzgerald, whose district includes Westside Park, said she had heard from several neighbors who believed a skatepark had been needed in the area for a long time.

“There is an excitement around that area,” she said. “Kids now have a place to go that’s safe.”

Fitzgerald also said that skateboarding provides another physical activity for youth and can help improve grade point averages in schools.

Several members of the public spoke in favor of the new skate spot, noting how the facility at Washington Park has changed many lives. Construction work will include traffic control, tree transplanting, installation of stormwater best management practices, lighting, electrical panel improvements, an irrigation system, and stormwater pollution prevention measures.

tance during peak business hours.

Senior Planner and Mobility Coordinator Evan Jedynak said city staff will work with community members and the city attorney’s office to prepare a permanent outdoor dining ordinance, which is expected to return to the council in late 2026 or early 2027.

The city’s outdoor dining program began during the COVID-19 pandemic, when state and local emergency orders allowed restaurants to expand into parking lots and public parking spaces to offset indoor dining restrictions. Since then, the state has repeatedly extended regulatory relief measures, including legislation signed in 2025 that permanently removed the expiration date for waivers of private parking requirements associated with pandemic-era outdoor dining.

eligible groups, including first responders, teachers, and government employees.

Entertainment

Visitors can check out free exhibits every day, including Farm2U, the Fairview Farm, the Garden Show, Flower Show, Design in Wood, Home Arts and Hobbies, and the livestock barns.

Students from all over San Diego County will be showing livestock such as cows, goats, sheep, chickens, and turkeys and participating in the junior livestock auction on June 27.

Timothy Hollingsworth, 8, of Boulder Oak Elementary in Alpine, will be showing several pygmy goats at the 2026 fair, and hopes to match his performance from last year, when he won two belt buckles and 45 ribbons.

“It involves where you have to work with your animals a lot. You go right in the show ring, and when you go into the show ring, you try your best to win,” Hollingsworth said. “I’m very excited.”

The 2026 fair is also adding several all-new events and entertainment to its schedule. SoCal Pro Wrestling will take over the Del Mar Arena on June 19 from noon to 8 p.m. with two rings featuring luchador and traditional pro wrestling.

As a result, the seven existing outdoor dining operations in private parking lots may continue indefinitely at their current footprints under state law. If the city later adopts limits on private parking lot dining, those existing operations would be considered legal nonconforming uses and effectively grandfathered in.

Mark Dobbins, an owner of The Roxy, said that while he understood concerns about lost parking, outdoor dining had helped sustain businesses in downtown Encinitas.

“These patios coming out of COVID-19 were just a godsend for us,” he said. “We probably would’ve gone out of business without them.”

Dobbins urged the council to consider creative parking solutions, including valet service, as part of a

permanent ordinance.

The council unanimously approved the extension at its May 27 meeting.

Councilmember Joy Lyndes said that “constituents who talk to me love it” of outdoor dining.

She said she supports exploring alternatives such as shared parking agreements between neighboring businesses that operate at different hours, citing the area around The Shanty in Cardiff-by-the-Sea.

“I see so many ways we can solve this without creating more asphalt for cars,”

she said.

Lyndes and Mayor Bruce Ehlers were the only current council members who voted on the issue when it last came before the council.

Ehlers said he opposed the extension in 2023 because he wanted limits on how many parking spaces could be converted to outdoor dining on each block.

“What I’d like to see going forward is some limit on how many spaces can be taken per block so we keep some nearby parking to support the non-restau-

A new competition is the Ag Mechanics Buildoff on June 13, a live competition where local high school students will design and build innovative projects in real time at the Del Mar Arena. Another new event this year is the Juneteenth Festival on June 19 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., celebrating the

annual holiday that marks the abolition of slavery in the United States and the achievements and contributions of Black Americans.

Many other free cultural festivals and special events will also return this year, including the Asian & Pacific Islander Festival on June 13, Native American Heritage Day on June 14, Out at the Fair on June 20, the K-Pop Festival on June 28, and the Black and Brown Festival Showcase on July 5.

Tickets are also available for live entertainment during the Toyota Summer Concert Series, with 17 musical and comedy performances on the Grandstand stage. Major acts include Chicago, Los Tucanes de Tijuana, Good Charlotte, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, Nelly, Demi Lovato, Marshmello, and more.

Summer Nights at The Sound will also feature seven performances at The Sound venue at the Fairgrounds.

rather than temporary.

Councilmember Marco San Antonio also supported exploring additional parking options, including the potential use of the City Hall parking lot.

“It’s such a big parking lot and you’re one block away,” he said.

San Antonio, who owns a business on South Coast Highway 101, said neighboring business owners still express concerns about losing parking spaces, particularly retailers and service businesses that do not directly benefit from outdoor dining.

Still, he said the program has enhanced the atmosphere along Highway 101.

rant, non-alcohol businesses down there,” Ehlers said.

He noted that the number of public parking spaces occupied by outdoor dining has declined from its peak, in part because businesses now pay for the use of public spaces that had been offered free during the pandemic.

Ehlers also said a permanent program should include more permanent design features.

“A true permanent solution,” he said, should include built improvements that make outdoor dining areas appear intentional

shows and shows at The Sound are available online and also include same-day fair admission. Free musical will take place every day of the fair at the Chevrolet Paddock stage.

Visitors can find a daily calendar of all the events, entertainment, and activities at the fair online at sdfair.com/events.

Rides & games

The Fun Zone will feature dozens of rides offering varying levels of thrill, including two Ferris wheels, a carousel, and roller coasters, along with tons of carnival games with big prizes to win.

Ride and game credits can be purchased online with entry tickets or purchased on the day of the event at Fun Zone kiosks.

On Wednesdays and Thursdays, visitors can enjoy unlimited rides with the Pepsi Pay-One-Price wristband, starting at $50 and available online.

Food & beverages

There will be over 110 food vendors at the fair, selling classic fair food as well as more adventurous creations. Forty-seven different sweet and savory dishes and beverages are semifinalists in the Fair-Tastic Foods Competition and available for purchase.

Among the semifinalist entries that visitors can try are the Blueberry Brie Smash Dog from Ricky’s California Corn Dog, the Sweet Mac n’ Heat Crunch Potato from Corn Star & The Hot Potato Club, the Churro Dog from West Coast Weenies, the Watermelon Mint Lemonade from Boba King, Ube Funnel Cake from

“I think it definitely does create a lively place,” San Antonio said. “You drive past Biergarden, you drive past Roxy, you do see so many people out there having such a great time.

“I think it definitely adds something to the 101.”

Under the permanent ordinance now being drafted, the city could consider limits on the size or number of outdoor dining areas, particularly in the public right-of-way.

Staff noted that while state law protects existing private parking lot dining operations, the city retains authority over issues such as noise, drainage, signage, materials, enclosures and structure design.

Transportation

Attendees can pay to park onsite at the Fairgrounds, shuttle in from nearby free parking areas, or take public transit such as the Fair Tripper.

General parking at the Fairgrounds main lot starts at $20 per vehicle. Visitors can also park at the Del Mar Horsepark for $15 or at Crest Canyon Academy at no cost, with a free shuttle providing transportation from both locations to the Fairgrounds.

The Fair Tripper option includes a round-trip ride via the NCTD Coaster, Sprinter, MTS Trolley, or bus to the Solana Beach station, plus a one-day fair entry for as low as $20 for adults.

A free shuttle runs between the Solana Beach station and the Fairgrounds every 30 minutes. Riders can also take the Breeze Bus Route 308 to Via de la Valle and Valley Avenue, and then walk approximately half a mile to the main fair entrance.

The Fair Tripper will offer reduced fares on the Juneteenth holiday on June 19 to reduce fare traffic. For more information, visit gonctd.com.

Esco gas station developer must fund signal

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO —

A City Council majority has upheld a previous decision requiring a gas station developer to pay more than half the cost of a new traffic signal at Rock Springs Road and Lincoln Avenue in exchange for waiving other development requirements.

Morrie Golcheh’s proposed convenience store and gas station at the northwest corner of Mission Avenue and Rock Springs Road first received city approval in 2021 with conditions requiring frontage improvements along Mission Avenue, installation of a protected leftturn lane at Rock Springs and Mission, and construction of a new traffic signal at Rock Springs and Lincoln.

Council OKs new infill plan

By Leo Place

SAN

MARCOS

— The San Marcos City Council unanimously approved a new application last week for 46 townhomes along South Santa Fe Avenue, replacing a previously-approved project with 50 apartment units.

The project is proposed for a vacant site at the northwest corner of South Santa Fe Avenue and North Las Flores Drive in the college area. Back in 2023, the city approved a project with 50 for-rent apartment units for the site, and rezoned the site from light industrial/commercial to multifamily residential.

However, the apartment project did not pencil out, prompting the developer, Santa Fe Flores LP, to pursue a for-sale project with three-bedroom townhomes spread between seven three-story buildings.

The site is right next to a liquor store. Santa Fe Flores LP plans to acquire a 0.36-acre parcel of land currently owned by the liquor store to expand the townhomes project, while the liquor store will remain where it is.

This project is right by the railroad tracks and is surrounded by residential uses, such as the Vista Meadows Mobile Home Park to the south and Las Flores Village and Rancho Santalina to the east. There are also industrial and commercial buildings to the north and west.

Gittings said the site presents challenges due to steep slopes and a change in elevation of around 48 feet. The landlocked site also only allows for one access point from South Santa Fe Avenue.

However, a major benefit is the project’s proximity to transit options, with a bus stop for Route 305 along the project frontage and immediate access to the Rail Trail.

Golcheh returned in December 2024 seeking removal of the traffic signal requirement from the project’s conditions of approval. Instead, the City Council offered a compromise, waiving the Mission Avenue frontage improvements and the protected left-turn lane at Rock Springs and Mission, while still requiring Golcheh to contribute up to $560,000 toward the approximately $900,000 cost of the traffic signal. The city agreed to cover the remaining cost.

In February, Golcheh submitted another request seeking to eliminate the traffic signal requirement.

Golcheh said the project has been delayed by rising construction costs and lingering economic impacts

from the COVID-19 pandemic. He also argued that it was unfair for the city to require him to pay for a traffic signal located about a quarter-mile from the project, a 7-Eleven convenience store and a gas station.

“We really shouldn’t be paying for any signal improvements a quarter-mile away – we don’t have anything to do with it,” Golcheh said.

Golcheh also warned that he may be unable to secure additional funding to keep the project moving if the traffic signal requirement remains in place, potentially forcing him to abandon a project that is already under construction.

With or without the project, the city plans to in-

stall a traffic signal at Rock Springs and Lincoln eventually.

Several speakers stressed the importance of improving the intersection, describing it as dangerous due to speeding vehicles, poor visibility and heavy traffic congestion.

“Some type of creative change needs to be made in that geographic area,” said James Lockhart, a homeowner who has lived near the Rock Springs and Lincoln intersection for 20 years.

Lockhart suggested the city consider a roundabout instead, noting that another traffic signal could further back up traffic on Rock Springs Road.

Councilmember Chris-

tian Garcia, the lone council member opposed to maintaining the existing conditions, noted that the city’s share of the traffic signal cost would be higher if Golcheh abandoned the project.

“It needs to be done as quickly as possible – I don’t want to wait any longer for something to be there, for more safety issues, or an accident there that we could have prevented by putting a light there,” he said.

Garcia argued the city should modify the agreement to require only a fairshare contribution from the developer, which would reduce Golcheh’s cost to about $100,000 while increasing the city’s share to roughly $800,000.

Long-awaited project scheduled for the fall 2027

By Leo Place

SOLANA BEACH —

The first portion of the city’s long-awaited Lomas Santa Fe Corridor improvement project is kicking off this fall, after the Solana Beach City Council awarded a $7.4 million contract last week for the construction of the eastern segment.

The Lomas Santa Fe East project focuses on the one-mile stretch east of Interstate 5 from Santa Helena to the city’s eastern boundary at Highland Drive, and will include new roadway paving, new sidewalks, a multi-use trail, bike lanes, landscaped medians, pedestrian enhancements such as benches and decorative paving, and new traffic signals.

The second phase of the project, known as Lomas Santa Fe West, will include similar improvements from approximately Interstate 5 to Highway 101. City leaders plan to finalize the design

of the western segment by next year.

On May 27, the City Council agreed to award a contract to Tri-Group Construction out of a pool of six bids for the project. TriGroup’s contract includes $6.7 million for the estimated cost of work, plus a 10% contingency, for a total of $7.4 million.

“I am just so thrilled that we’re doing this tonight, and I'm really amazed that this has come in at our engineer’s estimate,” said Mayor Lesa Heebner. “I also think it’s interesting that all the bids were very close. It gives me comfort.”

Work will begin after Labor Day and is expected to take around 11 months to complete, lasting through late summer of 2027.

The council also agreed to enter into a two-year construction management contract with Kleifelder for approximately $979,000. Leaders emphasized that Kleinfelder’s communication with the city and community will be crucial.

“The last project of this scope, which I think was the 101 redo, we had to be agile, we had to react to things go-

ing on. Communication, as the mayor said, was incredibly important,” said City Councilmember Dave Zito.

He also noted that Lomas Santa Fe is a heavy bike corridor, and asked that crews make it clear where bikes are supposed to go during construction.

City officials said they have identified non-working days for construction, such as the opening of the San Diego County Fair and the first week of the school year, to prevent major traffic impacts. At least one travel lane will be maintained in each direction during construction.

Senior Civil Engineer Anda Wright said the city will conduct proactive outreach to the community before construction begins and will offer a dedicated hotline and email address that residents can use to report any issues during construction.

“Prior to construction and throughout the duration of the project, the city will maintain a strong focus on communication and public engagement. The city will provide routine updates on construction schedules

without the developer’s participation, the traffic signal could be prioritized through the city’s capital improvement program, though the process would still take several years. The rest of the council chose to maintain the conditions established in the 2024 agreement.

Councilmember Judy Fitzgerald told Golcheh he had already received a substantial concession from the city in 2024 and said it would not be fair to waive another major requirement at taxpayers’ expense or create a precedent for other developers.

“That’s taxpayer money we’re setting aside and giving you that big discount,” she told Golcheh.

Charges upgraded in attack

By City News Service

VISTA — A man accused of attacking the owner of Escondido’s socalled “Trump House,” who later died from his injuries, was scheduled to appear in court June 3 to face a newly filed murder charge.

Thomas Caleb Butler, 32, is accused in connection with a May 20 attack on 69-year-old Kerry Sheron outside the victim’s home, which was well known locally for its prominent display of American flags and pro-President Donald Trump memorabilia.

and statuses throughout the city’s website and newsletter,” Wright said.

Planning for the Lomas Santa Fe Corridor improvement project began over a decade ago, back in 2015, and involved heavy community input, data collection, and workshops. At one point, the city considered implementing roundabouts along the corridor, but later updated the designs to remove them and maintain two travel lanes in each direction.

Deputy Mayor Jill MacDonald said she recalled attending local meetings about the project back in 2018, before she was elected to the City Council.

“This project is in my district. I think maybe the first City Council meeting I went to was probably discussing this project,” said MacDonald.

Rep. Mike Levin (D-Dana Point) secured $7 million in funding for the Lomas Santa Fe East project back in 2023. The San Diego Association of Governments, or SANDAG, awarded $3.5 million for the western portion earlier this year.

Prosecutors allege Butler punched Sheron, causing him to collapse 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.

Escondido police said a motive for the attack remains under investigation, including whether there may have been “a political component,” though the department said it had not developed evidence to support that conclusion. Investigators were also exploring whether Butler and Sheron had any prior relationship.

Butler was initially charged with attempted murder, elder abuse, making criminal threats and battery. He pleaded not guilty last month, but Sheron died in a hospital two days after Butler’s arraignment.

Earlier this week, prosecutors filed an amended complaint charging Butler with murder.

Butler remains in custody without bail.

You’ve been warned

Over the years I’ve watched more than my share of television and movies, and have observed countless warnings of flashing lights, tobacco use, rude language, nudity and other potentially triggering activities.

So, when we watched “Zootopia 2” on Disney+, I was puzzled to read, “This program contains product placement.”

They announce this now?

As you probably know, product placements involve product names and packages that get woven into a story’s plot line. Many manufacturers, recognizing that consumers oftentimes ignore their commercials, pay to build their car, soda can, computer or cereal box into a scene where consumers won’t look away.

Product placements have been around since Jules Verne’s “Around the World in Eighty Days,” when transport companies vied to be incorporated into his story. The Manet painting “A Bar at the Folies-Bergère” featured recognizable beer bottles.

The trend has now grown into a $20 billion industry.

Anyone who’s seen the movie “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” will recall the scene where Elliott uses Reese’s Pieces to lure the alien. What you may not know is that the maker of M&Ms was originally approached with the placement but wanted nothing to do with the film.

The maker of Reese’s Pieces — then relatively new to the market – was offered a freebie if they helped promote the picture. They spent $1 million and saw their sales explode 65% within weeks of the movie’s release.

Product placements can be a win-win. Companies like product placements because they often feel more natural than traditional advertising. A popular character using a product suggests success, popularity or reliability. And the fees paid help offset production costs.

Anyone incorporating product placement into their messaging strategy should know it’s possible in movies, television shows, streaming programs, video games, books, podcasts and social media.

Done well, they’ll feel natural and help reach potential customers who won’t even notice they’re being sold to.

With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

Surfing with Chicky in the pier’s shadow

By the summer of 1962, I spent most weekends hitchhiking from Montebello to Huntington Beach Pier with my best friend, Chicky. As often as not, some jerk who wanted to drag cute little Chicky into the men’s room with him, picked us up. Chicky was small, but he could fight, something he’d learned after two stints in juvie.

The first time a driver made a play for him, he punched him in the face. Left stranded on the side of the road again, I suggested Chicky not hit anyone until we reached our destination. After that, he played along with the perpetrators all the way to the beach. Once dropped off, however, he

Odd Files

In Your Eye

Doctors at the Kursk Regional Hospital in Russia recently treated a 50-year-old man with an unusual MRI result: a nearly 5-inch-long piece of wood extending from the man’s eye socket to his skull, Oddity News reported on May 26. Back in 2024, the patient, Yuri, was doing yard work.

He wasn’t wearing protective eye gear, so when he felt a sharp pain in his left eye, he assumed a small piece of wood had struck him while he was chopping maple branches. When the pain went away shortly after, he forgot about it, dealing with only the occasional flashes of pain in the years following. When he did seek medical help, ophthalmologists couldn’t figure out what was wrong, and their treatments were ineffective.

Earlier this spring, his pain increased and his vision was starting to fade, so he headed for the hospital. “A CT scan performed at the regional hospital showed that the foreign body was a branch that penetrated the eye socket, destroying the sinuses and damaging the base of the skull in dangerous proximity to vital brain structures,” doctors said. Miraculously, doctors were able to remove the wood through the nasal passages -- no brain surgery needed. Yuri’s vision came back, and he is expected to make a full recovery.

Awesome!

When Noreen Van Holstein and Lalita van Lamsweerde launched the WasteBar food truck in 2022 in The Netherlands, they weren’t sure how their idea for people to collect cigarette butts in exchange for Dutch pancakes would go over. “I wasn’t sure whether people would be apprehensive of picking up things from the ground,” Van Holstein said. “But im-

Hitchhiking was tough until Chicky had the bright idea of inviting Sarah Jane, the only surfer girl in our town, to join us. It was easy getting rides then.

The WasteBar appears at various events throughout the year, including children’s events, festivals and business gatherings.

Given the abundance of butts as litter and the difficulty of cleaning them up, the entrepreneurs are under no delusions that their food truck alone will solve the litter problem. Rather, they see the exchange of litter for food as a way to raise awareness. “We want to get people in action mode, and [hope] that by picking up litter, they would not litter any more, because we believe that once seen, it cannot be unseen,” Van Holstein said.

Stuck in the Mud

A Wisconsin driver found out the hard way that “road closed” signs are there for a reason. According to UPI -- and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s May 22 social media post -- a Milwaukee County driver not only encountered a “road closed” sign, but got out of their pickup truck, removed the sign and drove straight into freshly poured concrete.

WDOT shared a photo of the truck’s submerged tires and noted that the driver “cemented their in-

We always cheered her on, but whenever she shot the pier, I silently prayed she’d miss the razor-sharp, barnacle-encrusted cement pilings. She always did. Nothing could hurt Sarah Jane.

Under Pressure

Benjamin Fragale, 23, of Palm Harbor, Florida was arrested for felony criminal mischief on May 24, after vandalizing a local marquee sign known for its puns, The Smoking Gun reported. According to the police report, Fragale used bricks and branches to “smash the sign, damaging the letters, message board and interior lights.”

The sign belongs to a local chiropractic office and memorable phrases include: “We never crack under pressure,” “It’s easier to throw out your back than your mother in law,” “We won’t stop until everyone is cracked up,” and “Our Easter adjustments are eggsellent.” The message that made Fragale crack? “Licensed Crack Dealer.” The arrest report indicates that Fragale thought the statement was illegal, but court records do not corroborate the claim. Fragale remains detained while he awaits a court hearing. [The Smoking Gun, 5/26/26]

Huntington was a tough town, as the sons, and very few daughters, of hard-living oil-field roughnecks surfed beneath the pier’s cold shadow. Good surfers shot the pier, a dangerous move some HB locals called “fiberglass keepaway.” We borrowed boards, and after surfing, dealt damp hands of five-card

a lake to battle a nearby wildfire. The plane landed safely with no pilot injuries, and investigators determined that the damage in the rudder was caused by a bullet. After pinpointing the location where the shots were fired, law enforcement suspected Pettit, who had made complaints in 2024 about aircraft near his home. Pettit claims he was crow hunting, not aiming for the plane.

“If I accidentally hit him crow hunting, too bad,” he said. “[The pilot] endangered my life. I decided to go outside and crow hunt. Did I aim and try and shoot the plane? Nope, no, I didn’t.” The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources instituted a no-fly zone over Pettit’s property. The restriction applies only to aircraft battling fires. [Fox 9, 5/23/26]

Put That Where?

A Grand Traverse, Michigan, woman was found to have an entire bottle of wine in her person while being booked into the county jail. Monique Megchiani, 48, of Michigan, was arrested for trespassing at a pharmacy in Grand Traverse, The Smoking Gun reported on May 22.

After checking her for weapons, officers attempted to load her into the squad car. According to the police report, “During this time, Megchiani advised that she was not able to get into the vehicle. After some convincing, Megchiani was able to slowly maneuver herself into the backseat.”

As she was being booked into the county jail, a female corrections deputy completed one more physical check of Megchiani, when, according to the report, “it was learned that Megchiani had concealed a bottle of Cupcake Vineyards Pinot Grigio inside her person.”

In addition to her trespassing charges, she was charged with attempting to smuggle contraband into a penal institution. A former counselor at a substance abuse treatment center, Megchiani faces prior convictions for robbery and credit card theft. [The Smoking Gun, 5/22/26]

fort as part of the downtown special events program is really just to kind of try out a lot of different things, and I think we’ve had some really good successes in all of that,” said CVBID Program Manager Bill Hornung.

While the playhouse has been a great space for many events, Hornung said he would like to see the city prioritize a new projector and screen to give the venue even more draw.

“That’s really prevented us from doing a lot of other things we’d like to do in there,” Hornung said.

To allow a wider range of events, the city also agreed last year to make the theater available for five-hour rentals rather than just 10-hour blocks. The city also established lower rental fees for nonprofit organizations and for those based in Vista.

Still, Contreras and Councilmember Katie Melendez said they would like to discuss the possibility of having an even shorter rental period option.

“For years, I’ve been saying, ‘We don’t have a problem with the AVO, except for that there’s no programming. We just need to open it up for programming.’ So I was right. As soon as we opened it up, all of this cool s--- started happening, and now we’re getting more people into our downtown, we’re getting collaboration with our businesses,” Melendez said.

Deputy Mayor Dan O’Donnell said that while he supported investing in the AVO, he wanted to bring back a more focused discussion about the overall vision for the space and how it can generate revenue in the long term.

“If we’re going to make a $2 million investment, which I think is necessary and I support doing, we need to have an idea of what the endgame is,” O’Donnell said.

“There’s so much on top of all the programming that we’ve done, and I think there’s a lot of potential and opportunity in this space.”

The quiet burden few families see coming

By Bo Lebherz

When a loved one

passes, most families brace for grief. What catches them off guard is the paperwork.

In the days after a death, while a family is still trying to absorb the loss, a second weight quietly arrives. Certified death certificates have to be ordered, and in the right quantity. Banks, insurers, Social Security, and Medicare need to be notified. Accounts have to be closed or transferred. Bills keep coming. Subscriptions keep charging. Somewhere in a drawer, or a long-forgotten email account, sits a password no one else knows.

It is a strange and lonely kind of work, and it almost always lands on the person least prepared to do it: a grieving spouse, an adult child managing everything from out of town, or a sibling who suddenly holds power of attorney and has no idea where anything is kept.

Grief’s to-do list

Most people underestimate how much has to happen, and how quickly. In the first days and weeks, a family is typically responsible for:

• Ordering certified death certificates. Families routinely need ten or more, one for nearly every institution they contact.

digital Vault, a secure place for families to keep the documents, accounts, and instructions that matter most, organized so the right people can find them when it counts. But its AfterCare service is built for the moment families need help most: right after a loss.

• Notifying Social Security and benefit providers. Often within days, to avoid clawbacks, overpayment notices, and delays.

• Contacting banks, credit cards, and insurers. To freeze, close, or transfer accounts before anything slips through the cracks.

• Locating the will, trust, and estate documents. And identifying who actually has the authority to act.

• Finding and canceling recurring charges. From utilities and insurance to the small monthly subscriptions no one remembers signing up for.

• Securing digital accounts. Email, photos, and anything tied to a phone the family may no longer be able to unlock.

For a family that has everything organized in one

place, this is hard but manageable. For the many who do not, it can stretch into months of phone calls, hold music, and dead ends.

Why it falls apart

Most families are not disorganized. They are simply living. The documents that matter end up scattered across filing cabinets, safe deposit boxes, email inboxes, and the memory of the one person who is no longer there to ask.

The result is predictable. Heirs miss deadlines. Benefits go unclaimed. Accounts freeze at the worst possible moment. And the practical burden compounds the emotional one, because every unanswered question becomes a fresh reminder of the loss.

Help built for the hardest days

This is the gap CareTabs set out to close.

The San Diego company is best known for its

AfterCare gives families a clear, guided path through the logistics of settling affairs. Instead of guessing what comes first, they get a structured checklist, support with notifications and account closures, and a single organized place to work from. It turns a sprawling, overwhelming process into something a person can actually carry while they grieve.

The philosophy behind it is simple. As the company puts it: “No family should be left scrambling when life’s hardest moments arrive. We build the systems, safeguards, and support that hold families together when they need it most.”

Plan ahead, or get help now

For North County families, the lesson runs both ways. If you are planning ahead, getting your documents and accounts organized today is one of the most generous things you can do for the people you love. And if you are in the middle of it right now, you do not have to navigate it alone.

Do you know someone using

alcohol to cope?

Many adults with ADHD are not trying to avoid responsibility. They are trying to figure out how to navigate a world that constantly asks them to organize, prioritize, regulate emotions, manage time, stay consistent, and follow through in ways that often do not naturally align with how their brain operates.

It can be confusing for everyone as they do “difficult” things really well and then they cannot do “simple” things if their life depends on it. Or sometimes they are hyper focused with super human abilities and other time days can pass without getting anything done. If this is difficult for you to understand, try being the person living with it.

To ease that exhaustion, some turn to alcohol or substances to temporarily lower the friction. But over time, alcohol often intensifies the struggles they were trying to escape such as emotional regulation, impulsivity, sleep, consistency, executive functioning and self-trust.

It’s also important to consider that ADHD rarely exists alone. Anxiety, depression, burnout, and substance use often appear alongside it. In many cases, treatment understandably focuses first on a person’s anxiety, addiction, or depression because those symptoms appear most urgent. But when the underlying ADHD remains unaddressed, many people continue fighting the same cycles underneath it all.

Advice in these scenarios are difficult as with everything there is no one size fits all. And we cannot change or make growth for the other person. Trying to "help" can also be resisted. Even though we think we can save / help them. We can only work on how we show up as a friend / family colleague.

Emotionally we support

them knowing they are doing their best with what they have at that moment. Even if it hurts. Even if we think the solution is "simple" and staring them in the face — "just do that."

To be clear, ADHD is not a free pass to get away with not doing your work. That said, to support someone tactically to help them take action we can shift our focus and energy on what they are "failing" at to tasks, conversations, topics, interests and challenges that light them up.

Tough love, relentless pressure, or expecting sudden, magical transformations do nothing to close the gap between what an individual intends to do and what they achieve. The true challenge stems from executive dysfunction, a struggle only exacerbated by the weight of emotional noise. By intentionally reducing that emotional friction and helping them reshape their relationship with taking action, we can provide far more meaningful support, ultimately rebuilding their momentum and setting them up for lasting success. Everyone experiences their own seasons of struggle and success. Individuals with ADHD have immense value and so much to offer the world, and we get to choose our role: will we lift them up, or pull them down?

While we cannot fix other people, we can make space for them to feel heard, capable and valued as a first step for them to take the next step for themselves.

Gulls owners pitch public ice rink in Escondido

By City News Service ESCONDIDO — A

nonprofit affiliated with the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks is exploring a partnership with the city of Escondido to build a new public ice rink complex at Kit Carson Park.

The Escondido City Council was scheduled to consider a memorandum of understanding on Wednesday with The Rinks Foundation to study the feasibility of constructing a community ice facility at the park.

If the project moves forward, the facility would be fully funded and built by The Rinks Foundation, a nonprofit established by philanthropists Henry and Susan Samueli, owners of the Anaheim Ducks and the American Hockey League’s San Diego Gulls.

The foundation operates eight hockey and skating facilities across Southern California, including Poway ICE and Great Park Ice in Irvine.

According to project proponents, all proceeds generated by the facility would be reinvested to support the growth of local ice sports and recreational activities.

Preliminary plans call for a complex featuring three sheets of ice, including one arena with seating for 2,000 to 3,000 spectators. The proposed facility

would also include a restaurant, training areas and competition space.

“We’re incredibly honored to have been approached by The Rinks Foundation to explore this partnership,” Escondido City Manager Sean McGlynn said. “When Ice Plex Escondido closed, we lost an incredible community asset as it was the largest ice skating facility in the county. We look forward to exploring the opportunity to not only bring ice sports back to Escondido but to expand access to ice sheets for the entire southern Cali-

fornia region.”

In addition to youth and adult hockey programs, figure skating and other ice sports, the facility would serve as a practice venue for the San Diego Gulls and home ice for the San Diego Jr. Gulls, Jr. Gulls Girls and high school teams competing in the Anaheim Ducks High School Hockey League.

“On behalf of the Rinks Foundation and the San Diego Gulls, we are excited by the possibilities to provide a state-of-the-art ice skating and hockey facility in Escondido to meet the

growing demands of ice participation in the region,” said Aaron Teats, president of The Rinks Foundation.

“This facility would assist in the growing needs for youth, high school, adult hockey and skating in San Diego, and north county in particular, and provide a community asset for a million visitors annually.”

If approved, the city and foundation would host two community meetings to gather public input before returning to the City Council with findings at a future public hearing.

More information

about the proposal is available at The Rinks Foundation’s Escondido Ice Project website.

La Costa affordable units open for leasing

A new 19-unit affordable housing community in the La Costa neighborhood has wrapped up construction two months ahead of schedule, adding below-market-rate apartments to San Diego County’s ongoing affordable housing shortage.

La Costa Family Apartments, a $5.8 million development financed through federal affordable housing tax credits by San Diego-based MirKa Investments, is located at the intersection of La Costa Avenue and Camino de las Coches near the La Costa Town Square shopping center.

The apartment complex includes one-, two- and three-bedroom units reserved for households earning between 30% and 80% of the area median income. Three ground-floor apartments are ADA-compliant.

The project sits adjacent to The Nest at La Costa, a 76-unit market-rate townhome development by Woodside Homes, with homes listed from $960,000 to more than $1

million.

Together, The Nest and La Costa Family Apartments comprise the 95-unit La Costa Town Square Parcel 3 residential development, first approved by the Carlsbad City Council in 2021.

The development transformed a vacant 7.2-acre site originally approved as a 55,000-square-foot office complex as part of the broader La Costa Town Square project.

La Costa Family Apartments includes 19 affordable units, accounting for 20% of the project’s 95 homes, exceeding Carlsbad’s typical requirement that 15% of units in residential ownership projects be set as The project comes as housing affordability remains a growing challenge throughout the region. According to a 2026 County of San Diego report, 54% of renter households spend more than 30% of their income on housing, while more than one-quarter spend over half their income on rent.

The San Diego Housing Federation estimates the county is short more than 134,500 affordable rental units.

“Families will be able to move into affordable homes sooner,” MirKa Investments CEO Kursat Misirlioglu said in a statement.

O’side swaps HOT for HEART in homeless effort

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —

The City Council recently approved a new homelessness outreach program that shifts the city’s approach from a law enforcement-led model to one centered on social services.

For more than a decade, the Oceanside Police Department has operated the Homeless Outreach Team, or HOT, which uses police officers and two contracted social workers to connect people experiencing homelessness with services and resources.

Under the new Homeless Evaluation Assistance and Resource Team, or HEART, program, the city will create an in-house homeless outreach coordinator position to oversee a team of social workers contracted through Interfaith Community Services.

Oceanside Homeless Services Manager Tameka Tates will develop and supervise the program. The two social workers currently assigned to HOT will be reassigned to HEART.

The program stems from City Council direction during a 2025 homelessness workshop, where officials called for a social services-led approach rather than one led by law enforcement.

According to the city, HEART staff will engage directly with people experiencing homelessness in high-impact areas, connect clients with behavioral health and medical services, assist with obtaining identification documents and enrolling in benefits programs and help secure shelter, safe parking, employment and housing resources. The team will also track client progress and report outcomes.

The city plans to allocate $400,000 in Measure X funds to support HEART during the 2026-27 fiscal year, a decision that the City Council is expected to finalize in June.

HEART joins several other city initiatives aimed at addressing homelessness. Oceanside operates a 24hour shelter that is expected to expand from 50 to 75 beds by July 1, as well as a safe parking program for people living in their vehicles.

The council unanimously approved the program on May 20 after rejecting a proposed amendment

from Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce and Councilmember Jimmy Figueroa that would have added more city-employed social workers rather than relying primarily on contracted staff.

“The more you can keep things in-house, the more effective it is in my experience,” said Figueroa, who previously led Operation HOPE-North County, a shelter serving women and families in Vista.

Joyce advocated for hiring at least one city employee for each shift and noted that the Measure X Citizens Oversight Committee had approved funding for an earlier proposal that relied more heavily on city staff.

“What we’re looking at tonight is a watered-down version of what was approved,” Joyce said.

According to City Manager Jonathan Borrego, Oceanside has budgeted $9.5 million for homelessness services in the current fiscal year. Of that amount, $5.8 million is dedicated to the Buena Vista Creek encampment cleanup project with Carlsbad, leaving approximately $3.7 million for the city shelter, safe parking program, the existing HOT program and other encampment response efforts.

Mission mid-rise

A seven-story, 230-unit mixed-use project proposed along Mission Avenue received unanimous approval from the City Council last month, adding to a growing list of mid-rise developments planned along what many consider the gateway to downtown.

The 1.5-acre project will occupy an entire city block between 801 and 815 Mission Avenue. Two existing commercial buildings, including a PNC Bank branch, will be demolished, and an alley will be vacated

including two studios.

The project is one of several mid-rise developments planned along Mission Avenue in downtown Oceanside.

The council also approved a separate 326-unit mixed-use project at 401 Mission Avenue last year that would replace the Regal Theater.

to make way for the nearly 234,000-square-foot development.

The project will include 23 affordable units reserved for low-income households,

Last year, the City Council approved two neighboring mid-rise projects adjacent to the 801-815 Mission Avenue site. One is an eight-story, 273-unit mixed-use development planned for the vacant lot at 901 Mission Avenue and Horne Street, directly east of the project. The other, located across the street at 810 Mission Avenue, would replace the existing North County Transit District headquarters with a seven-story, 206-unit mixeduse building.

In January, council members approved a 373unit project consisting of two midrise buildings at Lot 24, a paid parking lot on North Myers Street between Mission Avenue and Civic Center Drive. The site is divided by the pedestrian underpass at Pier View Way.

Construction has also begun on the nearby 712 Seagaze project, an eight-story development featuring 179 studio apartments reserved as affordable housing.

Last year, the council

approved redevelopment of the Oceanside Transit Center, which includes plans for 547 apartments near downtown. The transit center is located roughly a half-mile from the 801-815 Mission Avenue project. Other approved projects in the area include a seven-story, 64-unit building at 901 Pier View Way and a six-story, 180-unit development on a largely vacant parcel at the corner of Pier View Way and North Horne Street. Both projects were approved in 2023. Together, these developments represent approximately 2,378 new housing units planned for downtown Oceanside over the next several years.

Mystery, cocktails conjured in Encinitas

By Jordan P. Ingram

ENCINITAS — A new hidden cocktail lounge opened last week along South Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas, aiming to transport guests into a world of mystery, storytelling and craft cocktails.

Arcana, a 47-seat cocktail den created by longtime Encinitas restaurateur Paula Vrakas and her partners, officially opened May 28 next door to The Roxy Encinitas. The concept takes its name from the idea of hidden knowledge revealed over time and is designed around esoteric themes inspired by Hermetic traditions, alchemy, astrology and mythology.

“Arcana’s concept mirrors the ever-changing nature of mysticism and the occult,” Vrakas told The Coast News. “We hope to deliver a unique, mysterious experience for each guest, seeing as we can get creative while still remaining in the overarching concept.”

Located in a building that was once home to a local radio station, Arcana is concealed behind the unassuming retail storefront Archive, a shop featuring rotating vendors selling ceramics, jewelry, plants and clothing.

Guests enter the lounge through a hidden astrolabe-inspired door, referencing ancient navigation instruments that once charted time and space with concentric circles and geometric motifs.

Inside, the roughly 1,000-square-foot space features candlelit seating areas, marble and quartzite countertops, brass accents and a cathedral-style back bar. The design draws inspiration from European salons, private clubs and vintage cocktail lounges, blending Art Deco and astrological influences into what the owners describe as an “astro-deco” aesthetic.

Many of the furnishings

and decorative elements were sourced by Vrakas herself, including salvaged tin ceiling tiles from an 1860s Wyoming saloon (where some original bullet holes are visible) and a historic light fixture from the former Captain Keno’s restaurant in Leucadia.

The walls are adorned with original artworks by Czech artist Alphonse Mucha, known for his Art Nouveau posters, and French illustrator Louis Icart. Dramatic velvet curtains throughout the space were sewn by Vrakas’ mother.

“Arcana is meant to be discovered, not explained,” Vrakas said. “We wanted to create a space that feels familiar yet impossible to place — something that lingers with you long after you leave.”

Vrakas brings decades of hospitality experience to the project, from working as a busser and hostess as a teenager in Wisconsin to bartending nights while working as a veterinary technician after her service in the Air Force. In 2016, she became co-owner and managing partner of The Roxy Encinitas, later expanding the concept to Denver.

Arcana’s cocktail menu is organized around themes of mythology, folklore and symbolism. Signature drinks include The Man

Who Made It Rain, inspired by San Diego’s self-proclaimed rainmaker Charles Hatfield, and The Kraken, a rum-based cocktail referencing the legendary sea creature.

Spirit-free options include Black Magic, with blackberry, pineapple, caster sugar and mint, and Smoking Sun, featuring chilled lapsang souchong tea, citrus, and agave with a charred orange swath.

A small menu of shareable bites includes Greekstyle dolmades, a rotating trio of deviled eggs and chocolate-covered cherries and strawberries sourced from Strawberry Shack, a local snack shop with locations in Carlsbad Village and downtown Oceanside. The lounge will also offer a membership program called Pandora’s Box, allowing guests to store personal bottles in dedicated lockers and receive priority reservation access.

Arcana is located at 509 S. Coast Highway 101 and will be open from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Thursdays, and 5 p.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Sundays are closed to the public and will be reserved for private events. Reservations will be available through OpenTable.

Elevated McRib at Shake Shack

I’m going to admit up front that when McDonald’s offers its limited-time, annual McRib, I make it a point to partake. I order two, one to devour before I get out of the parking lot in my truck, and one to eat cold the next day, which makes me equally happy.

Evidently I’m not alone in my love of this weird and wacky sandwich of ground pork meat shaped to look like ribs, as the Wall Street Journal reported sales of over 60 million McRib sandwiches over a three-year period. Heck, it’s even been parodied in “The Simpsons,” where Homer goes into a “Ribwich” delirium that is classic.

So there, I am not alone. Burger King and Arby’s have made similar attempts, but they never really stuck like the McRib. I’ve even taken it to the point where I create my own version of the McRib at home that I call the “McBuck.” I’ll get to that recipe later in the column.

When I heard that Shake Shack introduced its BBQ Boneless Baby Back Rib Sandwich, I had a hunch this was going to be an elevated version of the McRib… like very elevated. And with ribs that have been handdeboned, marinated in a proprietary barbecue-sauce blend with apple-cider vinegar, slow-cooked for nine hours, then topped with barbecue sauce, coleslaw and pickles for $12.99, well how could I not be all over it?

So I was, and I loved it. Just to be clear, this is not a McRib substitute, it’s a different animal altogether, and when the McRib makes its annual appearance at McDonald’s, I’ll be right there in line with everyone else feeling no shame.

There are some additional limited-time summer special menu offerings, including a new Mac & Cheese, Smoky Classic BBQ Burger, Smoky Classic BBQ Chicken Sandwich, Spicy Fries with Ranch and several new beverages, including the splendid Sparkling Cucumber Basil Water.

And don’t forget their shakes and floats, as their soft, premium ice cream is made in-house daily with real cane sugar and cagefree eggs.

All this hype around the BBQ Boneless Baby Back Rib Sandwich actually made me rediscover all the goodness Shake Shack has on its menu, and I will make it a regular stop moving forward, as there is a lot of goodness to sample there.

So back to my homemade version of the McRib, which in my opinion is better than both the McDonalds

and Shake Shack versions and really quite simple to make.

I get the baby back ribs from Trader Joe’s (which are not always in stock), but they are my preferred brand. I put a rub on them overnight. Trader Joe’s has a Salmon Rub that honestly is a perfect rub for just about any meat or fish, not sure why they limit it to salmon in their branding…but that’s the marketer in me chiming in.

When I had a smoker the ribs would go on that low and slow, but I’ve found that same technique can be used in my oven, 225 degrees for 3-4 hours covered tight in foil. Then, and this is key, during that last hour, get your Weber grill out loaded with a mix of charcoal, cherry wood or mesquite and let them get ash white, hot but not overly so.

Slather up your ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce and coat them good. Put them on

the grill, turning frequently, as the flames love that sauce and drippings, letting the sauce caramelize but not burn. Then cover them tight in foil and more sauce and put them back in the oven for 30 minutes.

Enjoy those fall-off-thebone ribs for dinner but be sure to cook enough that you have plenty left over, as that is our primary objective here. Pull the meat off the leftover ribs while they are still warm, as it comes off easier that way. Set it aside for your McBuck the next day.

I construct mine on spongy white bread, plenty of rib meat and sauce, sandwich cut pickles (I like the bread and butter) and if you have it on hand, some fine cut coleslaw, but you will be quite happy with the ribs, sauce, pickles and spongy white bread.

I like it cold with a Mexican Coke or Boylan Soda Ginger Ale and your favorite

plain potato chips. It’s usually a game-time decision if I heat up the meat for the McBuck, as I enjoy it hot as much as I do cold.

So there you have it, the no-shame McRib, the very worthy Shake Shack BBQ Boneless Baby Back Rib Sandwich, and the Lick the Plate McBuck. All worthy in their unique way and worth giving a shot but get on the Shake Shack version soon, as

The

rule for rodents

the pollinators and deterring nuisance wildlife.”

I have been working on the pressing issue of deterring squirrels from the 20-by-4-foot raised bed that I supervise for the Carlsbad Senior Garden Group at the Pine Avenue Park Community Garden. We are among 30 other garden holders who love growing vegetables, herbs and flowers, but do not enjoy feeding the fruits of our labor to squirrels!

We have a new gardener, Amanda White, a veterinarian from Carlsbad, who has come to her new garden wellequipped to plant vegetables for her household, but to also make sure the squirrels are not eating her vegetables for their dinner.

Amanda and I share similar backgrounds, since we both studied plants and animals in a serious manner. When I served as the director of the Cornell Master Gardener Program in Cooperstown, New York, one of the questions we were constantly bombarded with on our Question-and-Answer Line was how to get rid of what is aptly called “nuisance wildlife.”

Nuisance wildlife here in Southern California is defined as: “Native or introduced animals that cause property damage, threaten safety or interfere with the enjoyment of your land. Under state law, it is illegal to trap and relocate wildlife without specific, written permission.” Contact California Department of Fish and Wildlife for further details.

Since Amanda is a veterinarian who now works for the USDA in San Diego, she has studied the effects of domestic and wild animals in the area. She has chosen 70% of her newly acquired raised bed for her favorite vegetables, and the other 30% to be perennials and annuals that attract bees and butterflies and deter rodents.

In an effort to foil the squirrel who is inhabiting many of the gardens at the

community garden, Amanda has chosen her plants wisely. In her herb garden, brightly colored marigolds that please the human eye are actually distasteful to most rodents, so she has planted them in many spots in her garden. Equally as repellant to rodents are herbaceous plants with strong scents that might taste good to us, but not to the squirrel.

Plants that rodents do not like

ARTICHOKES are the perfect example of a plant in Amanda’s anti-squirrel garden. The long leaves are filled with tiny spikes that will scare them off.

HERBS:

• Assorted thyme — Creeping thyme, silver thyme, woolly thyme and more all have a spicy smell and spread quickly

• Oregano — This fast-growing perennial is useful to humans, but rodents don’t like it

• Nasturtium — Spicy orange and yellow flowers

• Sage — Any variety of this plant is useful

• Lavender — This sweetly scented herb is great for sachets, and bees love it

FLOWERS:

• Marigolds — Any of the dozen varieties smell bad

and scare rodents off

• Butterfly plants — All of the narrow leaf or native Asclepias tuberosa attract monarchs

• Perennial favorites — Bee balm, agastache and foxglove all attract bees and hummingbirds but not the squirrels

Protect your edible garden

The final phase of Amanda White’s 20-foot raised bed was to complete her vegetable garden. Located next to her herb garden, the edible garden is surrounded by a handmade cage. She constructed a sizable structure (4 by 6 feet) with wooden slates and mesh netting.

This box keeps rodents out, and her vegetables are safe for harvesting. Her edible garden is filled with her favorite salad ingredients of lettuce and tomatoes. She has devised a cut-and-comeagain corner of micro greens including broccoli and arugula sprouts, and her small crop of strawberries is starting to produce summer fruit.

If you would like to visit the community garden, contact me at the Carlsbad Senior Center at 442-339-2650 or janosgarden@gmail.com.

about noise, traffic and other impacts stem largely from the size and scope of the proposed operation at Oak Crest. Despite helping lead the appeal effort, he said he generally supports farmers’ markets.

“I didn’t want to do this,” he said. “I don’t enjoy doing this.”

The appeal challenges the city’s environmental review of the project, raising concerns about traffic, noise, public notification and early-morning setup activities. However, the document repeatedly identifies protection of the school’s athletic field as the central issue and proposes a revised site plan that would keep all market operations on paved surfaces.

The appellants argue that weekly use by vendor vehicles could damage turf, compact soil, adversely affect irrigation systems and interfere with youth sports activities, according to documents obtained by The Coast News. They also contend the market can operate entirely on school parking lots, basketball courts and nearby parking facilities without using the grass field.

Plans discussed during the May 12 hearing called for between 130 and 195 vendor booths.

“(The Leucadia Farmers Market is) on a scale that matches the largest markets around the world,” Bjorneby said, citing the Dane County Farmers’ Market in Wis-

street fair, not a farmers market,” said Bjorneby, noting that, unlike many seasonal markets that operate during harvest periods, the Leucadia market runs yearround.

“If they want to have it three months a year, I’ll suffer that,” Bjorneby said.

The school’s grass playing fields were another major concern, prompting him to draft the appeal letter with the help of an engineer friend. Five other neighbors signed the document.

Bjorneby said he feels strongly about protecting the fields, in part because several members of his family played soccer there.

“That field’s going to be gone forever,” Bjorneby said. “If I can just have them off those fields ... I’m going to be fine with that.”

SAN DIEGO — San Diego County's public health officer has issued an advisory urging families, physicians and community leaders to educate young riders about e-bike safety as injuries and fatalities continue to rise.

The updated regulations apply to certain Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents, known as ABAWDs, who are applying for or renewing CalFresh benefits.

consin and Seattle’s Pike Place Market.

The Dane County Farmers’ Market in Madison advertises itself as the nation’s largest producers-only farmers market, hosting between 150 and 170 vendors around the Wisconsin State Capitol.

Pike Place Market in Seattle includes more than 220 shops and restaurants, along with more than 180 craftspeople, 70 farmers and 60 permitted buskers. The mixed-use market district also contains more

than 450 affordable housing units.

Bjorneby said both operate in “purpose-built, civic, commercial areas, not a residential school.”

Even after organizers reduced the proposed maximum vendor count from 195 to roughly 135, Bjorneby said the market would still be “huge.”

He also argued that the Leucadia Farmers Market consists primarily of food and craft vendors rather than local produce growers.

“It’s a commercial

Bjorneby said city staff, including Development Services Director Scott Drapkin, and Councilmember Joy Lyndes had been “very helpful to me trying to navigate the ins and outs” of a city process he previously knew little about.

Bjorneby said protecting the athletic field remains the primary objective of the appeal, which proposes a revised site plan that would keep market operations off the grass and track.

The City Council could uphold the permits, modify the approval with additional conditions, send the project back for further review or require additional environmental analysis.

The next City Council meeting is scheduled for June 10, though the agenda has not yet been posted.

Market response

Reddell said the natural grass surface was one of the qualities that made the Paul Ecke location appealing.

“One of the things that makes a farmers market nice is walking on grass,” she said.

As part of the concessions made to address neighborhood concerns, Reddell said the market would not operate within 200 feet of the school’s southern property line, closest to Bjorneby’s neighborhood.

The buffer would extend roughly to midfield, leaving about half of the turf area unused by the market.

Reddell also said no generators or amplified music would be permitted on the grass and that vendors would not use vehicles with backup warning beepers. Most activity and noise, she said, would be concentrated in the parking lot near the administration building and on the blacktop courts.

The submitted plans include 260 parking spaces.

Reddell said the market’s vendors comprise roughly 30% certified farmers, 60% specialty food and beverage vendors, and 10% craft vendors.

“They rely on our market for a large percentage of their income for the year,” she said, adding that a prolonged interruption could permanently reshape the market.

“Some of them won’t come back.”

In 2024, county hospitals recorded 865 emergency department visits and 186 hospitalizations related to e-bike crashes. The advisory recommends physicians counsel patients and families on applicable laws, screen for e-bike use during injury and well-child visits, and encourage participation in safety training programs.

“A public health alert is one of the strongest tools our county has to warn San Diegans when people are getting hurt, and the danger is preventable,” County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer said. “Far too many kids are ending up in our emergency rooms, and that's not acceptable.”

Lawson-Remer and county Public Health Officer Dr. Sayone Thihalolipavan said the increase in injuries stems from a risky combination of factors: many young riders are unfamiliar with traffic laws, and e-bikes can travel 20 mph or faster.

Some e-bike-style vehicles are so powerful that riders may legally be required to hold a motorcycle license to operate them.

“The growing number of severe injuries among young riders makes it clear that deceivingly powerful e-bikes pose a significant danger to children,” Thihalolipavan said.

“Today we issued a local health alert to raise awareness on the severity of the issue and ask our medical community to routinely screen for e-bike use during injury and well visits by using two specific medical codes.

“It is possible e-bike injuries are being unreported due to being misclassified as non-electric bicycle injuries. Getting better data will help us highlight the seriousness of this public health issue.”

In May, a 12-year-old boy riding an e-bike suffered life-threatening injuries after colliding with a vehicle in the Carmel Valley area, according to the San Diego Police Department.

Lawson-Remer said she plans to host several e-bike safety classes throughout San Diego County in the coming months.

“We can keep e-bikes as a fun, healthy way to get around — but only if we treat safety like it matters,” she said.

CalFresh rules

New federal rules took effect June 1 requiring some San Diego County residents who receive CalFresh food benefits to meet work or volunteer re-

Those affected are individuals who:

• Are between 18 and 64 years old;

• Are not living with a child under age 14;

• Do not meet a federal exemption;

• Are physically and mentally able to work; and

• Are not pregnant or disabled.

Affected recipients must demonstrate they meet work or volunteer requirements when applying for benefits or completing their annual recertification unless they qualify for an exemption, according to the county.

“Those subject to the new able-bodied rules may receive only three months of benefits in a three-year period unless they fulfill work or volunteer requirements or qualify for an exemption,” the county said in a statement. “Importantly, these rules apply only to the individuals affected, not to the entire household.”

County officials urged residents to update their contact information through the BenefitsCal portal, check renewal dates and respond promptly to county outreach.

Residents with eligibility questions can call the Access Customer Service Call Center at 1-866-2629881. To meet the new requirements, affected recipients must complete at least 20 hours per week, or 80 hours per month, of one or more of the following activities:

• Employment or self-employment;

• Community service or volunteer work;

• Job training programs, including the CalFresh Employment & Training program; or

• A combination of qualifying activities.

Exemptions apply to children, adults older than 64, pregnant individuals, people living with disabilities, and those who identify as Indian, Urban Indian or California Indian under the Indian Health Care Improvement Act.

More than 100,000 Californians are expected to be affected by the new requirements.

This week, Supervisor Monica Montgomery Steppe and Elizabeth Hernández, interim deputy chief administrative officer of the county’s Health and Human Services Agency, are scheduled to announce a new website offering employment, job training, educational and volunteer resources related to these changes.

OPINION

CONTINUED FROM 4

teachers’ union, when contributions by teachers and the district to the teachers’ retirement fund are insufficient to cover the fund’s outstanding obligations, the state is required by law to use money from its general fund to cover the shortfall. This deftly bypasses the revenue bottleneck caused by the tightfisted voters in the Martins’ school district and keeps the teachers there from having to contribute that money themselves.

So this year, the state’s general fund paid over $4,300,000,000 into teachers’ defined-benefit pensions, about 14 times the amount the union collected in dues. Clearly, those dues were money well spent.

Another important advantage the teachers’ union enjoys becomes clear when teachers go on strike, and working parents have to find appropriate supervision for their children. The worst case in a barista’s strike? Instant coffee.

The power of the teachers’ union isn’t just used to access revenue, either. It is also used to ensure that teachers have good health insurance, working conditions, and job protection.

Meanwhile, the baristas working in the Martins’ favorite coffee shop: (1) are paid about a third as much as Danny’s teachers, (2) get a 5% matching contribution to their fluctuating 401k, (3) have health coverage with high deductibles and an hourly work requirement, and (4) can be fired “at will” by the corporation.

The inequity is as obvious as the solution. Ready?

Convert the coffee shop chain from a for-profit corporation into a state-owned, non-profit enterprise funded by a steady stream of property tax revenues. Yes, public coffee shops.

The existing coffee shops would be grouped into public coffee districts, each with an elected coffee board. Baristas would be certified by a state commission, and paid according to their training level and seniority.

The baristas’ compensation and benefits packages would be benchmarked against the contract provisions of the teachers in their respective districts.

This simple, systemic adjustment would dramatically reduce the inequity resulting from the disparity in power between these two unions and provide the baristas with a livable wage, good health insurance, strong job security, and a comfortable retirement.

Best of all, the Martins’ morning coffee would be free.

CSUSM softball’s run ends in national semis

By Noah Perkins SAN MARCOS —

NFCA No. 3-ranked Cal

State San Marcos softball capped the most successful season in program history Sunday, falling 4-3 to McKendree in the semifinals of the NCAA Division II National Championship at Frost Stadium in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

“It was an incredible ride,” Cougars head coach AJ Robinson said. “We broke all sorts of records. We were going through the memories of the year — so much good stuff about this team. Our success is spread around through a lot of people. Really a great season. Super proud of our program.”

The Cougars finished 57-12, set multiple single-season records during a breakthrough year that placed Cal State San Marcos among the top programs in Division II softball.

CSUSM struck first against McKendree, taking a 2-0 lead in the opening inning on an RBI double by Czar Fleischman and an RBI single from Sarah Bull. McKendree answered in the bottom of the second with four runs, and the Cougars cut the deficit to one run in the fourth inning on a sacrifice fly by Jillian Albayati, the second-leading hitter inDivision II this season with a .517 batting average.

TORREY PINES

CONTINUED FROM FRONT

Justin Rose’s record-setting performance in January that it would no longer sponsor the PGA Tour stop at Torrey Pines, leaving the event’s future uncertain.

Many golf stars spoke out in support of the venue at the time, with Brooks Koepka, a former world No. 1 and five-time major champion, calling Torrey Pines “iconic,” Rose saying “this place is special,” and Harris English describing it as “one of my favorite places on the tour to come to.”

Around the same time, Sentry faced a similarly uncertain future in men’s professional golf.

“I believe we are the most golf-centric company not in the golf business,” Sentry CEO Pete McPartland said at the press conference.

Since 2018, Sentry, the Wisconsin-based insurance company, has served as the title sponsor of the PGA Tour’s season-opening event, long known as the Tournament of Champions and featuring winners from the previous season. Sentry had signed on as title sponsor for the Tournament of Champions through 2030, according to a news release.

About two months ago, as the PGA Tour considered revamping its 2027 schedule, officials approached Sentry with an idea they were not yet ready to discuss publicly: an opportunity to

CSUSM could get no closer, stranding 11 runners on base in the game.

Reliever Madison Cabrera gave the Cougars a chance down the stretch, tossing 4 2/3 scoreless innings while allowing just two hits and striking out five.

As the season closed, Robinson pointed to a senior core that helped drive the program’s rise.

“Jill [Albayati] and Czar [Fleischman] have been here the whole time,” Robinson said. “Their hunger to get here was a real driving force to this team. Jordan [Hill] and Jordan [Elias] are such incredible pieces of this team, the leadership and drive. These four

pushed the rest of the team to do and become.”

The Cougars’ postseason run included a dramatic extra-inning Super Regional victory over Biola that secured the program’s trip to the national championship finals. Robinson later described that win as “probably the best game that I’ve ever been part of.”

Legion baseball starts Sunday

District 22 American Legion Baseball will open its 101st season on June 7 with more than 240 players across 12 teams, according to organizers.

The summer schedule includes a 10-game regu-

sponsor the stop at Torrey Pines, which McPartland described as an easy sell.

“[The PGA Tour] led the process, but – as a good partner of theirs – they pulled us into the process and it was, game, set, match,” McPartland said. “Any opportunity to be here in Torrey Pines is where we want to be.”

Moving forward

Torrey Pines is located in the district represented by San Diego City Council President Joe LaCava, who jokingly referred to himself as “the other Joe LaCava” at the event, a nod to Tiger Woods’ caddie.

LaCava said the two

lar season running through July 7, followed by a postseason tournament July 9-12.

The program was revived in 2018 and has operated in its current format since then, officials said.

Dennis Ackerman, a District 22 baseball organizer, said the program was created to provide an affordable summer baseball option.

“This is offering a great summer baseball program at hardly any cost to the players, coaches and parents,” he said.

Players ages 15 to 18 are participating from programs across North County and greater San Diego, including La Costa Canyon, Santa Fe Christian, Carlsbad, Rancho Buena Vista/ Vista, Oceanside, Valley Center, La Jolla Country Day and University City.

District 22 will host a fundraiser on June 14 at Bully’s East Restaurant. The “Night of Baseball Fun” will feature former MLB players and scouts and will be moderated by San Diego broadcaster John Kentera, of Solana Beach.

The cost is $70, with proceeds supporting league operations including equipment, insurance, umpires and field rentals. Coaches may attend at a discounted rate of $50, according to promotional materials.

nomic engine that employs our residents and brings in tax dollars, so that we can deliver some services to the residents and businesses of San Diego.”

LaCava told The Coast News that revenue generated at Torrey Pines also benefits the city’s other municipal courses at Balboa Park and Mission Bay. The city is “continuing to reinvest in our golf division,” he said, which “does an incredible job.”

Gorsich added that hosting a professional event helps keep the city invested in maintaining the course’s high standard for professionals and recreational golfers alike.

“It makes you polish the jewel,” he said.

Ex-El Camino star to coach Sage Creek

Former Division I and professional basketball player Devin Watson is returning to North County as the new head coach of the Sage Creek High School boys basketball program, the school recently announced.

School officials said Watson, an Oceanside native, brings a player-centered coaching philosophy focused on discipline, accountability, teamwork and leadership development.

“Play hard. Play smart. Play together,” Watson said in a statement. “The Team. The Team. The Team.”

After three years at Carlsbad’s Army Navy Academy, including a trip to the CIF regional semifinals, Watson transferred to El Camino High School in Oceanside for his senior year. In his lone season with the Wildcats, he was named Avocado West League Player of the Year and earned All San Diego Section firstteam honors after averaging 25 points, six rebounds and eight assists.

He went on to play four seasons of D-I basketball at the University of San Francisco and San Diego State University. He played professionally in Australia, Argentina and Canada.

courses and practice facilities at Torrey Pines benefit year-round from the visibility of a professional tournament, as well as the “top notch condition” required to host a PGA Tour event.

“The PGA Tour attracts spectators and businesses to come for a week in San Diego,” LaCava said. “And throughout the year, Torrey’s reputation attracts visiting golfers, who play the course and stay in our San Diego hotels, like here at the Lodge.

“And whether it is tournament week or all [year] round, that adds up to another driver of San Diego’s diverse and powerful eco-

According to Gorsich, organizers will seek to minimize disruptions to public play by keeping course closures as brief as possible.

McPartland said Sentry was especially excited about Torrey Pines’ status as a municipal course, and has no plans to alter the tournament. Instead, it wants to help ensure its long-term future at Torrey.

“I know the golf part’s going to go fantastic,” McPartland said. “I know the charitable contributions and things are well in hand. We look forward to supporting that. We come with no change intended whatsoever – just wanted to grab a pad and jump in the canoe and start rowing with everyone else.”
