Trial begins in cold case

DNA evidence tied to 1990 slaying

By Jason Kurosu, CNS SCRIPPS RANCH —

A man accused of killing a woman in Scripps Ranch more than 35 years ago is tied to her slaying by DNA evidence and incriminating statements he made after his arrest, a prosecutor told jurors Monday, while a defense attorney said the case against her client arose from an inadequate police investigation and relies on flimsy evidence.

Opening statements were delivered Monday morning in the murder trial of 65-yearold Randall Oyler, who is charged with killing Margaret Orozco Jackson, whose body was discovered on a hillside off Scripps Ranch Boulevard on July 11, 1990.

Jackson was severely beaten and strangled, and a rope was wrapped twice around her neck, Deputy District Attorney Chris Lindberg told a downtown San Diego jury on what coincidentally would have been Jackson’s 83rd birthday.

Oyler, who was 29 years old on the day Jackson’s body was discovered, was not identified as a suspect until DNA testing conducted decades later linked him to DNA found beneath the victim’s fingernails, as well as from other areas of her body, the prosecutor said.

Oyler was already in custody for an alleged probation violation when he was arrested in 2023 on suspicion of

Mark Your Calendar and Celebrate 28 Years of Creativity at the Coast

For nearly three decades, the Carlsbad Village Association’s Art in the Village has transformed downtown Carlsbad into a vibrant, open-air gallery—where creativity spills onto the streets and the coastal breeze carries the sounds of live music and artistic expression. Returning Sunday, June 28 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., this beloved tradition continues to grow, bringing more artists, more performances, and more immersive experiences than ever before.

This year’s event will feature 160 juried ne artists representing an impressive range of mediums—from oil, watercolor, and mixed media to glasswork, sculpture, jewelry, and photography. Artists travel from across the West Coast and beyond—including Baja, Oregon, Arizona, Utah, and even Hawaii—making this a truly regional showcase with a distinctly coastal soul. Guests are invited to stroll along State Street and Grand Avenue, just steps from Carlsbad State Beach, meeting artists in their booths and purchasing one-of-a-kind works directly from the creators themselves.

But Art in the Village is more than an art show—it’s a full sensory celebration. Live music lls the air from the State Street Main Stage and throughout the event thanks to the generous sponsorship of Rincon Homes, while live demonstrations bring art to life in real time. This year, local artist Taylor Gallegos will create a mural live during the event, o ering visitors a rare chance to witness a large-scale work unfold before their eyes. Sculptors will shape their pieces alongside live models, and chalk artists will transform pavement into vivid, temporary masterpieces. Attendees can also experience innovation up close with a display from Aptera Motors, showcasing their groundbreaking solar-powered electric vehicle.

Families will nd plenty to explore, including a free interactive art pavilion hosted by the City of Carlsbad Cultural Arts, along with face painting and hands-on creative activities for children.

Set against the backdrop of Carlsbad Village’s thriving culinary scene—where co ee houses, wine bars, craft breweries, and restaurants are just steps away—the event creates an atmosphere that is as social as it is artistic. Each year, approximately 10,000 attendees come not only to admire and purchase art, but to shop, dine, and experience the Village in full swing—making Art in the Village a powerful driver of economic vitality for local small businesses and a highlight of the summer season.

Sage Creek student attacked after leaving campus

By Jordan P. Ingram CARLSBAD —

A 17-year-old Sage Creek High School student was allegedly assaulted last week several blocks from campus by a man who witnesses said appeared to be a transient, according to Carlsbad police.

Denise Ramirez, a spokesperson for the Carlsbad Police Department, said officers responded at approximately 1:20 p.m. on May 4 to a report of an assault involving a high school student near El Camino Real and Cannon Road.

Police said the incident occurred off campus after the student had left for the day.

Witnesses Britt Griffin and Jack Cales told The Coast News that they intervened after seeing the teen struggling in bushes next to a bus stop near the entrance of a neighborhood adjacent to the high school.

Griffin, 20, a student at the University of Utah visiting his parents' home, said he and two friends were driving west along Cannon Road when they noticed “a homeless guy throwing hands at a bush,” before realizing “there’s a kid in the bush trying to get away."

“The kid was screaming for help,” Griffin said.

Cales, 18, a senior at San Marcos High School, said he saw the suspect push the teen into the bushes near the bus stop, prompting him to get out of the car and yell at the man.

“The homeless guy had a grip on the teen’s shirt, and the kid was kicking to prevent the man from punching him,” Cales said, who added that the victim was yelling "fire" in an effort to draw more attention.

Cales said the victim told them the suspect believed the teen was a police officer and threatened to kill him before shoving him into the bushes.

According to Cales and Griffin, the man appeared to be under the influence of drugs, describing him as “delusional and hysterical” while mimicking a gun with his fingers and acting belligerently.

Both witnesses described the suspect as a

Prosecutors said Amador Balderas turned himself in a few days later.

At the time of his arrest, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security claimed that California had refused to honor an immigration detainer filed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which asks local law enforcement agencies to notify the agency when someone they believe is deportable is released from custody.

University of California, San Diego said in a statement released May 8 that service would be restored once the school received approval from the University of California, “which is still waiting to receive assurances that the system is secure.”

Users were advised to exercise caution when using the service and were strongly recommended to download and save important documents “for added security.”

Neither witness reported seeing visible injuries on the victim, who later reported some pain but declined medical treatment, police said.

“The student was a little traumatized but seemed okay,” Griffin said.

Both witnesses called 911. Multiple law enforcement vehicles, along with a fire truck and ambulance, were seen responding to the area. Officers determined the adult male had assaulted the student, and the suspect was eventually detained.

Police identified the suspect as Matthew Labelle, who was arrested and booked into jail on charges related to child abuse. Ramirez said an additional charge of assault on a peace officer was added based on the suspect’s actions during the arrest.

In a written message to Sage Creek families, Principal Josh Way confirmed that a student was involved in an off-campus incident.

“While incidents like this are rare in our area, this serves as an important reminder for students to remain aware of their surroundings, walk with others when possible, and have a way to contact help if needed,” Way wrote. “Our Sage Creek team is working closely with the student and their family to provide support. Additionally, our School Resource Officer

will increase their presence and ensure resources are available in the surrounding area. As always, student safety remains our top priority. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.”

Man pleads guilty in hit-run death of boy, 11

A man who federal officials said was deported from the United States four times before striking an 11-yearold boy with his vehicle in Escondido, then fleeing the scene, pleaded guilty to a felony count of hit-and-run causing death.

Hector Amador Balderas, 44, whose case sparked public debate among federal and state officials due to his immigration status, pleaded guilty May 8 to hitting Aiden Antonio Torres De Paz with his vehicle on Nov. 26, 2025, then driving away from the scene.

Court documents indicate he faces between two and three years in state prison when he is sentenced early next month. Amador Balderas remains jailed without bail pending sentencing.

Witnesses said Aiden went into the street to retrieve a soccer ball when he was hit around 5 p.m. near the intersection of East Washington Avenue and Hickory Street. He was taken to Rady Children’s Hospital, where he died Thanksgiving morning, police said.

After the Sheriff’s Office rejected ICE’s request for an immigration detainer, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement that she was calling on Gavin Newsom to “do the right thing and honor ICE’s arrest detainer.”

Newsom, in turn, called the DHS allegations “a complete lie” and said California honors federal criminal warrants. His office added, “Nothing prohibits the federal government from doing its job in this case.”

UC San Diego said service was expected to be restored over the weekend or early next week and advised users to avoid accessing Canvas via the web or mobile app until further notice.

San Diego State University, along with other CSU schools, regained access to Canvas on May 8, though the school system said it had not fully reintegrated campus systems or data connections with

Meanwhile, the San Diego Community College District, also affected by the Canvas cyberattack, was recovering from a separate, unrelated attack that began the previous weekend.

The district said employee and student personal data was not compromised in the breach and that campuses remained open, with nearly all classes continuing as scheduled.

Smart water future

By Mel Katz

San Diego County has long been known as a place that solves hard problems with innovation – and our region’s approach to water is no exception.

While much of the West grapples with drought and water insecurity, our region spent decades preparing and investing for a dry future.

That strategy is now paying off in new ways:

In the past few weeks, the San Diego County Water Authority approved two landmark water-transfer partnerships that not only help our neighbors but also deliver real financial benefits for local ratepayers.

These newly minted water transfer deals with Riverside County agencies aren’t flashy projects involving new pipelines or construction. They’re smart, strategic “paper transfers,” meaning water moves on the books through existing infrastructure. No new facilities or construction costs.

And importantly, no risk to the reliability of San Diego County’s own water supply.

Why can we do this?

The short answer: Strategic planning created an opportunity to combine water security with revenue generation.

ments, our partners receive water through existing delivery systems, as we increasingly rely on locally controlled supplies. The result is that our partners get the water they need, and we bring in revenue that benefits San Diego ratepayers.

Equally important, these transfers don’t require new infrastructure to physically move the water. Instead, they are “paper” transfers, meaning the other jurisdictions simply have access to the water we would otherwise use.

Over the next five years alone, these two partnerships are projected to generate nearly $175 million, with the total rising to $660 million over the 21-year span of the agreements. That translates to significant relief for the households and businesses that rely on us.

This wasn’t easy

It’s tempting to assume that if these agreements offer so many win-win benefits, they would have been done before. But that’s not how water has traditional-

ly worked.

Water transfers are complicated. The negotiations take time, trust, and careful navigation of legal, financial, and operational considerations.

Our ability to strike the first deals of this kind in Southern California is due to decades of foresight by Water Authority leaders – past and present – and a willingness to pursue innovative solutions even when the path isn’t straightforward.

These initial transfers are the beginning of a new chapter in water management. Communities throughout the arid Southwest are facing increasingly difficult water challenges that require flexible, cooperative agreements to overcome.

The threats created by climate change and shifting water dynamics are real, but so is San Diego County’s ability to meet the moment.

Letters to the Editor

Emerald is unsafe, and Vista knows it

Editor’s note: This letter was submitted prior to the Vista City Council’s May 12 meeting on Emerald Drive safety concerns.

On May 12, the Vista City Council will once again discuss Emerald Drive and the safety concerns surrounding the area.

For the people who live nearby in both Vista and Oceanside, Emerald Drive is no longer just another street. What was designed as a residential street has become a fast-moving cutthrough road where speeding, crashes, and dangerous driving conditions have become part of daily life.

For years, neighbors have raised concerns about excessive speeding, difficulty exiting driveways, increasing large-truck traffic, limited crosswalks, and a lack of safe pedestrian access despite the presence of schools and parks throughout the area.

Vista’s own 2018 Emerald Drive study acknowledged many of these same concerns, and city engineers have publicly acknowledged how difficult it can be to safely turn onto Emerald Drive from surrounding side streets during peak traffic hours.

Earlier this year, a fiery crash near Promenade Circle that caused multiple vehicles to catch fire and shut down Emerald Drive for hours made local headlines. But according to residents, many other crashes, near misses, and dangerous speeding incidents along Emerald Drive never make the news.

since at least 2018, while little has changed.

The public continues to hear that funding is uncertain, that grant funding has not been secured, or that jurisdictional challenges between Vista and Oceanside complicate progress. Meanwhile, other neighborhoods continue to receive traffic-calming measures, lighting, signage, and other safety improvements while Emerald Drive continues to wait.

There are differing opinions within the community about what the final solution should look like. Some residents support elements of the proposed Complete Streets project, while others have concerns about the proposed roundabouts, bike lanes, and possible impacts to parking along Emerald Drive.

But despite those differences, there is broad agreement on one thing: the current conditions are unsafe, and the community should not have to wait years for meaningful action.

This upcoming meeting matters because Emerald Drive is more than a traffic study or future project. It is part of a residential neighborhood where families live, children walk to school, and residents should not have to navigate constant speeding traffic and ongoing safety issues. For years, the community has spoken up, attended meetings, participated in studies, and waited for change while conditions along Emerald Drive remain unresolved.

To

Since the 1990s, the San Diego region has invested heavily in conservation, water-use efficiency, seawater desalination and long-term supply partnerships in the Imperial Valley. Those investments reduced our region’s per-person water use by half and diversified our water portfolio in ways few other regions can match.

As a result, we’re now in the unusual position of having enough water to meet forecasted regional water needs through 2050, even during multiple dry years – and enough to transfer to other agencies aiming to bolster their own water security.

Under these agree -

Frustration has continued to grow as the community has heard about studies, workshops, meetings, funding discussions, and grant applications

Dear Editor,

Public spaces in Carlsbad should feel safe and welcoming for everyone, especially families and children.

Following the reported assault of a Sage Creek High School student by a transient individual, many residents are again raising concerns about safety and loitering around the Georgina Cole Library, Hosp Grove Park and nearby public spaces. As a Carlsbad parent, I appreciate the library’s role as an important community resource. However, many residents feel conditions inside and around the facility have noticeably changed in recent years. Families should feel comfortable using these spaces without concerns about safety or inappropriate behavior.

Now, many residents are simply asking the city to move beyond studies and finally do something about it.

Denisse Barragan Vista

City staff have stated they are committed to maintaining a welcoming environment while enforcing rules of conduct. That effort is appreciated, but many residents believe stronger enforcement, increased security presence and additional resources are needed.

This is not about lacking compassion for those experiencing homelessness. It is about ensuring public spaces remain safe, clean and functional for everyone who uses them. Cities across California are grappling with these challenges, and Carlsbad should continue working toward solutions that balance compassion with public safety and accountability.

As North City rises, family resists easement takeover

Homeowners accuse developer of pressuring sale

By Leo Place

SAN

MARCOS —

As

plans advance for the next phases of the 195-acre North City project in downtown San Marcos, a local family is fighting developer Urban Villages San Marcos in court to retain their rights to an easement running next to their properties.

Gloria Santos, 82, and her family have owned the two next-door duplexes at 134 and 140 East Barham Drive since the 1980s. Gloria’s husband, Jose, originally used the rear of one of the homes for an equipment storage business, and the family has rented the homes out to various family members and friends over the years.

The two residential duplex properties are in the middle of a quickly changing landscape. They are located on a lot at the northeast corner of Twin Oaks Valley Road and Barham Drive, surrounded by parcels that used to be other homes but are now owned by Urban Villages San Marcos and planned for development as a continuation of the North City downtown.

Simultaneously, the city of San Marcos has indicated that it will need to partial-

ly acquire the two Santos properties to widen Barham Drive, which will require demolition of the homes.

Gloria Santos hopes to rebuild the two homes to whatever level the city will allow. She said her goal is for the properties to continue to be used for future family members.

“We work for those two properties. We work hard for our family, for the future,” she said.

Since 1959, there has been a 60-foot-wide easement shared between the two Santos parcels and five

other parcels, now all owned by Urban Villages. It runs north from Barham Drive through the center of the lot for a few hundred feet and was originally established to allow access to Barham for landlocked homes on the site.

Urban Villages is currently suing Gloria Santos for full rights to this easement via a quiet title action.

The company’s president, Gary Levitt, also president of Sea Breeze Properties, argues that the Santos family has abandoned the easement and has no legal

Gloria Santos and her family argue that they retain the right to their easement, which they say they have historically used to move vehicles, equipment, and materials into and out of the family property.

They also deny abandoning the easement, claiming that Urban Villages has installed fencing, boulders, and grading that have restricted their full access to the shared easement.

Liz Santos, Gloria’s daughter, said Urban Villages had never contacted them about the easement prior to filing the lawsuit, although they had reached out several times about buying the two properties.

She believes Urban Villages is retaliating against them for refusing to sell their two homes and is attempting to take away their access to push them out.

for development as part of the city’s larger 195-acre North City area, which stretches south of state Route 78, north of Barham Drive, overlaps Twin Oaks Valley Road to the east and west, and is bordered by CSU San Marcos and Kaiser Hospital.

While no official project has been approved for this lot, referred to as Block 4, planning documents from Urban Villages outline a vision for a 500,000-squarefoot office park.

In some conceptual renderings of the Block 4 project, the Santos homes have been replaced entirely by new office buildings.

right to use it, and that the company needs it to proceed with development of the site.

“While providing no beneficial value to the trust parcel, the continued existence of the easement creates harm to the Urban Villages parcels in that its existence is negatively impacting plaintiff’s ability to obtain certain entitlements from the city of San Marcos for and/or to develop and finance development of the Urban Villages parcels and neighboring parcels,” their lawsuit, filed in 2023, states.

“I like to see development, but not them taking our rights from under us,” Liz Santos said. “Don’t take it away from the little guy.”

A jury trial in the case is tentatively scheduled for September.

A representative for Urban Villages declined to answer a list of questions from The Coast News, stating that the company does not comment on pending legal disputes.

Plans for site

The lot containing the Santos homes and Urban Villages parcels is planned

“On the maps, they put buildings on top of our property,” Liz Santos said. San Marcos officials emphasized that no project has been approved for the property, nor have any permanent developments been approved for the easement itself. They also stated that if a project is submitted, the city will ensure that access to the Santos properties is maintained.

“If the city receives a project application, we would work to ensure access to the properties affected is provided. The city cannot approve a project that cuts off access to another person’s property,” said city spokesperson Nikki Matosian.

Inside the legacy of Hollandia Dairy

Few businesses are as deeply rooted in San Marcos history as Hollandia Dairy. Family-owned since 1950, the company has built its legacy on quality, consistency, and care — growing from a local operation into a vertically integrated dairy that still processes right here in the city.

We spoke with CEO Patrick Schallberger about Hollandia’s enduring values, its role in the community, and what it means to remain San Marcos’ last milk processing plant while staying connected through the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce.

What does your business do? We process and bottle fluid milk, cream, ice cream mix, and juice. In addition, we purchase and distribute complementary dairy and food products including butter, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, and eggs.

What services and/ or specialty products do you provide? We operate a Direct Store Delivery (DSD) network, offer private label co-packing services, and produce seasonal specialty items such as eggnog and coffee milk.

How long have you been in business at your current location? Since 1950

What sets you apart from others in your industry? Hollandia Dairy is vertically integrated— from growing feed on our farm in Brawley, to sourcing milk from our dairies in San Jacinto and Imperial Valley, to processing and distributing finished products from our San Marcos facility. We are proudly family-owned and operated since 1950 and are the last remaining milk processing plant in San Diego County.

Our commitment to quality, customer service, and animal welfare sets us apart. Our farms are Certified Humane, allowing us to maintain full control over the quality of our milk and the care of our animals.

ry? My favorite story is the Hollandia story itself. The de Jong family came to the United States with a vision of building a better future. Through faith, hard work, and strong family values, they built a successful business and achieved the American dream. That legacy continues to guide everything we do today.

What motivated you to join The San Marcos Chamber? I believe it is important to stay connected to the business community you operate in and serve. The Chamber has provided valuable opportunities to build relationships with local leaders and reinforces Hollandia’s commitment to supporting a strong and thriving business environment in San Marcos.

In San Marcos, what are you looking forward to accomplishing with the Chamber? I hope to inspire other businesses to get involved, recognize the value of the Chamber, and contribute to strengthening our local business community through meaningful relationships and collaboration.

What’s your best piece of business advice?

Strong relationships are built on trust and integrity. Always follow through on your commitments— people remember when you do what you say you’re going to do. Consistency in delivering on your word is key to building lasting trust with customers and the community.

The ordinance, introduced and unanimously approved by the Oceanside City Council on May 6, makes it unlawful for any person to use or possess illegal or dangerous fireworks, or for property owners to allow the use of illegal fireworks on their property.

The ordinance includes tiered penalties for violators, including $1,000 for a first offense, $2,500 for a second offense, $5,000 for a third offense and an annual maximum of $10,000.

Fire Division Chief Blake Dorse said fines will be reduced by 50% during the first 12 months. Mayor Esther Sanchez previously requested the reduction in January, as the city continues to educate residents during the first year without as much of a financial burden.

The council first directed staff to explore enforcement strategies to address the use of illegal fireworks last August. The fines reflect laws enacted by other California cities in recent years targeting illegal fireworks, including Sacramento, Elk Grove and Riverside.

Dorse noted that the law specifically targets dangerous fireworks as defined by state law.

“We’re not looking for sparklers, we’re looking for things that are going to create public nuisance, noise, and potential wildland fires,” Dorse said.

The city’s public outreach efforts to inform residents about the new law will include social media announcements, press releases, flyers and community education materials emphasizing fire risk, penalties and drone enforcement beginning at least 30 days before July 4.

The program will include increased staffing during seven-hour windows during peak fireworks periods using both air and ground responses, including at least two to three drones

“I’m in Zoom meetings all the time. I don’t buy that it’s that difficult,” she said. Council ultimately approved the ordinance’s first reading by a 4-1 vote, with Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce opposed.

— each staffed by one police officer and one deputy fire marshal — and one ground contact team staffed by two police officers. One police sergeant would also supervise enforcement activities.

The drones would be used in a response-based manner to relay information to ground personnel, who would attempt to contact violators, investigate infractions and confiscate fireworks when possible.

Dorse clarified that the drones would not be used for continuous surveillance and would operate in compliance with federal and state law.

Although the enforcement law was proposed around the Fourth of July, it could also be used during other holidays with high fireworks activity, such as New Year’s Eve.

City staff estimates the program will cost $32,060 annually. Fines are expected to fund ongoing enforcement operations.

Public speakers

Oceanside is considering modifications to its policy on public speaker participation during council meetings in response to a new state law aimed at creating an even playing field for both in-person and virtual participants.

The changes, presented to the City Council on May 6, come in response to the return of remote speakers via Zoom, which was halted after the city resumed in-person meetings following the lifting of pandemic restrictions.

Volunteers must be at least age 50, be in good health, pass a background check,

changes would create a new cutoff time for the public to submit requests to speak on general items.

According to City Clerk Zeb Navarro, the city’s existing rules require speaker registration to close before the start of council meetings, though his office has not been enforcing that rule. Instead, speakers have been allowed to register to speak on an item until just before the public comment period for that item begins.

Another proposed change would eliminate group presentations, which the city began incorporating into council meetings a few years ago. Navarro explained that the change is under consideration because it would be difficult to verify remote participants during group presentations.

Navarro and the city clerk’s staff have been working on changes over the past several months in response to Senate Bill 707, which requires cities to provide equal participation opportunities for remote and in-person attendees during public meetings.

Several members of the public opposed the changes, arguing that the new rules would limit their rights to free speech and public participation.

Mary Ellen Reese opposed the changes on behalf of herself and as a member of Represent Oceanside, the local chapter of the national RepresentUs organization, a nonpartisan group that aims to bring people from different political affiliations together to reduce government corruption and ensure transparency and accountability.

Reese questioned the difficulty of monitoring group presentations through Zoom.

Joyce noted that he, like some of the speakers, felt the changes were too restrictive for public speakers. His primary concern was people who get off work later in the afternoon on Wednesdays and may struggle to arrive in time to sign up. Council meetings begin at 5 p.m. for the public, usually starting with procedures including roll call and proclamations before moving to the consent calendar around 5:30 p.m., followed by general items and public hearings at 6 p.m. Members of the public who wish to speak can sign up before council meetings to avoid feeling rushed to arrive by the start time, Navarro noted.

The public will continue to be able to speak on public hearing items without having to sign up in advance.

While Councilmember Rick Robinson said he was sad to see group presentations go, he understood the need for the change and the amended deadline for public speakers.

“I don’t think what’s before us restricts anybody necessarily,” Robinson said.

Councilmember Jimmy Figueroa suggested revisiting the new procedures within the next six months.

The changes will return to the City Council for a second reading and must be in place by July 1.

Officials said the fire produced tall flames visible from the highway as thick smoke drifted across the ground. Crews arrived about 10 minutes later and prevented the flames from reaching nearby buildings or additional brush.

Encinitas skateboarder chases downhill glory

Stoll finds thrills, kinship in Euro circuit

By Cameron Adams

Like so many others, Encinitas resident Patrick Stoll will spend much of his summer in Europe with friends.

Instead of taking in historic cities and more traditional vacation spots, however, Stoll is currently raising money to spend three months competing in eight events across 10 countries on the elite World Downhill Skateboarding Championship circuit, or, as he calls it, “60-mile-perhour yoga.”

The WDSC is an international racing series featuring downhill skaters on closed mountain roads and steep paved courses around the world. Riders can reach speeds of 60 to 70 mph while navigating tight turns and technical descents.

“The sport comes down to aerodynamics,” he said. “I have a helmet that flares out to my shoulders, and it makes me like a missile. It makes the front of my body more aerodynamic. Then we get into a position — with our hands placed a certain way and our knees locked behind each other — to streamline everything. At that point, it becomes about how long you can hold that position while going through a turn, and that’s really what it comes down to.”

Of the sport’s two main styles – freeride (characterized by style) and downhill (characterized by pure speed) – Stoll prefers the latter.

Depending on the road and conditions, riders in organized downhill competitions can reach freeway speeds on professionally managed courses designed to let them safely push their

limits.

“Normal roads feature three things that downhill skateboarders hate –cars, guardrails and cliffs – which make pushing the edge of your limits ‘not worth the risk,’” Stoll said. “For the competitions, the organization closes down the roads; puts hay bales along the sides of the road; covers guardrails and trees; fills ditches and protects the cliffs with nets.”

Now in his third year competing in the WDSC, Stoll plans to enter all five competitive events this season, hoping to finish in the top 10. Last year, he placed 13th while competing in just three WDSC events.

Stoll joked that while many people save money to travel to San Diego, he lives mainly out of a van in Encinitas and La Jolla, saving enough to travel the world.

More than a race

In addition to WDSC events in Erzincan, Turkey, in June, the Isle of Man in July, and the Ekstremsportveko extreme sports festival in Norway, Stoll

said he looks forward to traveling around Europe with friends and exploring some of the continent’s best downhill roads.

He has also taken to filming runs and producing video content for social media.

“The first year I went knowing nobody,” Stoll said. “I didn’t know a single European skater really. And I went and just started showing up to these events that are pre-planned. And as that began to progress, people started to see that I was a good filmer, and then therefore they wanted me in their group, and then I would get car rides for free, a lot of the time.”

Stoll said he was first introduced to the sport through videos and social media posts highlighting the skill, scenery and camaraderie of downhill skating.

For Stoll, downhill skating tends to foster community in ways other extreme sports do not. Skaters often stick to groups of 10 to 20 riders with clear safety rules rooted in European skate culture.

“They don’t skate with traffic,” Stoll said.

To ensure safety, groups often send an advance car roughly 30 seconds ahead of the skater as they descend the hill.

“They send the car first with a radio, and that car communicates what’s coming,” Stoll said, “so you can plan accordingly.”

According to Stoll, the system creates a level of trust that fosters deeper connections among riders and improves the experience by encouraging communication and cooperation.

Compared with surfing, another sport he enjoys, Stoll said, downhill skating has a unique community-building advantage.

“There’s no limited resource,” Stoll said. “Surfing, since it’s such a solo sport, becomes like a battle for every wave. The hill’s always there. The wave’s never that. Every day it changes, it’s never the same. When skating, it pretty much stays the same every time.

“It makes it more inclusive, I think. It’s more encouraging and people want everyone to skate better and safer.”

He added that the natural rhythm of the day – catching hills before the morning commute, downtime in the afternoon, and more skating after traffic dies down – creates time to hang out and exchange tips and techniques with “open ears.”

“It’s super cool,” Stoll said. “It’s super cool. I skate with the best – the pinnacle of my sport – I get to hang out with them all the time; compete with them and learn from them. I think that’s the cool part about the sport is you don’t have to be the best to hang out with the best skaters. It’s a very friendly environment.”

Life skills

Stoll said that before discovering downhill skating, he struggled with anxiety and bouts of laziness. Being diagnosed with anxiety as a child sometimes felt like a built-in excuse.

“I tended to run from things,” Stoll said. “I used to be scared of flying, and I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t want to travel because then I have to face my fear all the time.’”

“But when I started pursuing things that scared me, it started to push me out of my comfort zone, making me more active and travel more – the things that I wanted to do, just was too scared to do, I

guess. And so once I conquered my fear of skating, I figured out that almost all my fears are the same. And the only way to get over your fears is to face them.

“So it started making me want to face my fear more and more often. And that kind of made me progress as a person and in my sport.”

Stoll said he hopes to lean further into the creative side of video storytelling. Rather than focusing solely on promotional clips or social media videos, he would like to make a feature-length film documenting the downhill skating community, competitions and the process of improving the craft.

He said the local and international downhill communities have provided a meaningful opportunity for people to “get together and get off their phones.”

“I think the big thing about it is you’re learning life skills unintentionally through skating,” he said. “I’m stoked I got into this stupid sport.”

Solana Beach sets outdoor dining fee, clarifies rules

By Leo Place SOLANA BEACH — Restaurants, cafes,

and bars with outdoor dining in public spaces such as sidewalks and parking areas will need to pay a licensing fee to the city of Solana Beach beginning in 2027, the City Council agreed last week.

The fee, approved unanimously by the City Council on May 6, follows the adoption of an ordinance regulating outdoor dining that went into effect in February. The ordinance requires businesses to obtain a conditional use permit to offer outdoor dining and sets requirements for allowable space.

The city proposed charging businesses an annual fee of $20 per square foot of outdoor dining space in public areas, in addition to an annual consumer price index adjustment of no more than 2.5%.

The fee would be collected during the annual renewal of the business certificate.

“The delayed implementation would provide businesses approximately six months to prepare for the fee,” said Assistant Planner John Delmer.

At Pizza Port on Coast Highway 101, the annual fee for the existing 320-squarefoot outdoor dining area would be $6,400, according to city staff.

The $20-per-squarefoot fee is lower than those of neighboring cities, Delmer

said. Del Mar charges $21.42 per square foot, San Diego charges $25.12, and Encinitas charges $30.96.

City Council members Jewel Edson and Dave Zito, who serve on the small business subcommittee, said they worked closely with local businesses and city staff to develop a fee that would be feasible for everyone.

“This has been well received. Councilmember Zito and I have been on this subcommittee quite some time to get to this point, and we’ve worked hand in hand

with the business community to make sure that it was something that was acceptable to everyone and beneficial to everyone,” said Edson.

Fee revenue would go toward city maintenance and enforcement costs.

The ordinance allows outdoor dining in various areas of a business, including the frontage, sidewalks, private parking areas, and public off-street parking. The size of outdoor dining areas is limited to 50% of the business’s interior pub-

the

lic-use area.

The square footage used to calculate the outdoor dining area fee does not include the path of travel to the business entrance, which must be at least 4 feet wide.

Solana Beach previously allowed businesses to operate outdoor dining areas under a temporary permit process to help restaurants stay afloat during the COVID-19 shutdowns. The new conditional use permits allow it to continue on a more permanent basis.

At the same May 6 meeting, the City Council clarified the language of the outdoor dining ordinance regarding the types of shade structures permitted in public spaces.

The ordinance states that canopies, umbrellas and shade structures are permitted, while pop-up canopies and tents are not. City officials clarified that the construction of perma-

license fee for

nent shade structures in the public right-of-way is not permitted, including wooden patio covers that extend from the side of a building.

Mayor Lesa Heebner asked that the word “canopy” be removed from the ordinance, noting that it could be interpreted as permanent rather than removable.

“I can see that a canopy, if I’m thinking of four supports and some sort of fabric over the top, nobody’s going to take it down. It’s going to be there kind of permanently,” Heebner said. “In my opinion, I would think we would just want to have an umbrella that can be put up or put down.”

Delmer said the city uses “awning” to refer to a canopy, but that rules about awnings are addressed elsewhere in the municipal code.

City officials also reiterated that umbrellas in outdoor dining areas, as well as

awnings, may display only the establishment’s name and type. Restaurants can also place movable menu boards in outdoor dining areas.

Escondido to celebrate 30th Street Festival

The 30th annual Escondido Street Festival will return to downtown this weekend with live music, artisan vendors, food and family-friendly entertainment, organizers announced.

The free festival is scheduled for May 17 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. along Grand Avenue between Escondido Boulevard and Ivy Street in historic downtown Escondido.

Hosted by the Escondido Downtown Business Association, the event will feature multiple live music stages sponsored by Wildcat Guitars, a beer and wine garden, interactive children’s activities and performances by stilt walkers from Cirque Quirk.

The festival will also include the return of “Art in the Garden,” a juried art show at Heritage Garden at the corner of Juniper Street and Grand Avenue. The festival is supported by Kingsbarn Realty Capital, Viasat Fiber and Icon Industries.

1 ABOVE DESCRIBED. THE COMMON AREA IS FOR THE USE OF OWNERS OF LOTS WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO THE DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS AS NOT FOR USE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. Commonly known as: 1607 MADRID DR, VISTA, CA 92081 The sale will be held at: AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE EAST COUNTY REGIONAL CENTER BY STATUE, 250 E. MAIN STREET, EL CAJON, CA 92020 Per the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the estimated opening bid will be $655,795.08. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his pro rata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, the winning bidders with the exception of the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling ten percent (10%) of the Secretary’s estimated bid amount in the form of a certi ed check or cashier’s check made payable to the undersigned Foreclosure Commissioner. Ten percent of the estimated bid amount for this sale is $65,579.51. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $65,579.51 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certi ed or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15 day increments for a fee of: $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certi ed or cashiers check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the Foreclosure Commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, o er the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price o ered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure

completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certi ed or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage Deed of Trust is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is based on the nature of the breach, this loan is not subject to reinstatement.

A total payo is required to cancel the foreclosure sale or the breach must be otherwise cured.

A description of the default is as follows: FAILURE TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE AND ANY OUTSTANDING FEES, COSTS, AND INTEREST WHICH BECAME ALL DUE AND PAYABLE BASED UPON THE DEATH OF ALL MORTGAGORS.

Tender of payment by certi ed or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned o may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying o all liens senior to the lien being auctioned o , before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s o ce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Speak to your buyers digital 101

By Meagan Price

Every small business owner I talk to is trying to solve the same problem: “How do I get more people through the door?” “How do I get more calls?” So they do what they’ve been told works: They post more, run discounts, spend time designing graphics and try to stay “consistent.” And yet, nothing really changes.

Here’s the hard truth: People don’t buy because you post more. They don’t buy because you discount everything or spend hours making a cute graphic. They buy when your words speak to the part of the brain that actually makes buying decisions.

And once you understand that, you don’t need to spend more money on marketing, add a new product line, launch another service or host expensive events. You just need the right words.

Whether someone is choosing a plumber, salon, contractor or coffee shop, their decision is driven by a few predictable psychological triggers. If your marketing isn’t using these, you’re making it harder than it needs to be.

The first is social proof: “Can I trust you?” Before someone calls, they’re asking whether your service has worked for someone like them. Reviews, testimonials and real customer experiences matter more than anything you say about yourself. Without proof, customers assume risk and keep scrolling.

The second is scarcity and urgency: “Why should I act now?” Most people don’t say no — they say “not right now.” Urgency turns “later” into “today.” Phrases like “Only three appointments left this week” encourage customers to act before they delay and move on.

The third is reciprocity: “You helped me — now I trust you.” Helpful information, such as answering common customer questions, positions businesses as the obvious choice when the need becomes urgent.

Finally, authority removes doubt. Customers want to feel like they’re choosing someone who knows what they’re doing. Certifications, experience and clear explanations build confidence.

Getting more customers isn’t about doing more. It’s about saying the right things.

We recently needed to get our carpets cleaned and turned to Yelp for guidance.

We called Better Call Tony, who was incredibly responsive, professional and competitively priced. Driven by hundreds of 5-star reviews, we hired him, adding our comments to the chorus of admirers.

Yelp, of course, is a crowdsourced platform where users discover, review and rate local businesses such as restaurants, shops, salons and services. It recognizes that word-of-mouth is arguably the best marketing tool, and this platform takes it to the next level.

There’s a new scam targeting the elderly. They call you and ask if you got your new Medicare card in the mail. Of course, people say no because there isn’t one. Then they ask for your personal info for the new card. Well, I got one of those calls last week — “Hi, this is Joe from Medicare. Did you get your new card in the mail?”

I said, “Yes, I got a new card. It had your name and a picture of an a------ on it,” then I hung up. I don’t think he’ll call back. So much crap in the world. My ex-husband has a new girlfriend and brought her over to meet me (WHY?????????????)

She said, “You don’t look like I thought you would. I thought you’d be pretty.”

I said, “Well, when I saw your face, I wanted to put a diaper on it. Sometimes makeup can help, but that green makeup didn’t help you. Now, when I look up at the sky, I expect to see ‘SURRENDER JERE.’”

When you marry a man, you take his name. As the years pass, you still take his name — IN VAIN.

The economy is so bad. Everything is so expensive. Last week, I saw a mass of people walking. I thought it was a No Kings march, so I joined the group. It turned out to be a group of people walking to the grocery store. They can’t afford to buy food and gas.

I came up with the solution to that problem. If you eat the right foods, you’ll get gas for free!

Menopause — what a joke. Nothing has paused; my hormones are still running wild.

Odd Files

T(AI)nted Love

A growing trend in China among younger people: creating AI versions of their former beaus. Oddity Central reported on May 4 that an open-source module, ex.skill, is behind the trend.

Users can feed the module materials like photos and social media posts, as well as custom descriptions, from their previous relationships.

The jilted lovers can then “talk” to their AI “ex,” which mimics their tone, nuance and conversational style.

Ex.skill’s creators say that the “project is for personal reflection and emotional healing only, not for harassment, stalking, or privacy invasion.”

Users say the AI module has helped them find closure. “I was finally able to say [to the AI double] everything I’d been hesitant to say, and it made me feel better,” one person said in a social media post. [Oddity Central, 5/4/26]

Return of the Mac

Some fired employees take the high road, some the low; some choose to defraud their former employer out of tens of thousands of dollars via macaroni and cheese.

Such was allegedly the case for Keyshun Jones, who was fired from his job at a Chik-fil-A in Grapevine, Texas, and about a month later, in November 2025, began a scheme of returning to the restaurant, hopping behind the counter and ringing up fake orders of mac-and-cheese, only to refund them to his own credit cards.

• Builds trust quickly, because people trust other customers more than advertising;

• Creates “social proof.” When others praise a business, prospective customers assume it is reliable and popular;

• Improves local visibility, since more reviews and stronger ratings lift a business higher in online searches;

• Helps customers make decisions, making hesitant customers feel more comfortable;

• Encourages word-

Think you’ve got the fastest Allen wrench in the land? Think again: That honor belongs to U.K. resident Hayley McAuley of Wigan (just outside Manchester), who defended her title at the second-annual Flatpack World Championships on May 1.

The event, part of a home design expo, had competitors racing through multiple rounds of IKEA assembly with a live audience cheering them on.

Wigan Today reported that McAuley displayed “speed, precision and calm under pressure” during the final round, in which she put together a nightstand in just over eight minutes.

McAuley went home with the “coveted golden Allen key medal,” and all the assembled furniture went to a local charity. Win-win. [Wigan Today, 5/1/26]

Oh, and don’t worry about the occasional negative review (it’ll happen). Respond quickly, fix the problem and recognize that even a guy like Tony doesn’t get all 5-star reviews. Which is probably a good thing. If everything were perfect, my cynical side would undoubtedly have wondered if he was legit. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

But the challenges didn’t end there, as crew determined that Bebop’s lithium batteries exceeded Southwest’s allowable amount.

BARONS MARKET

Carlsbad native powers

Tritons in breakout year

By Noah Perkins REGION — Carlsbad

native Zara Wasserman microwaves most meals. UC San Diego softball teammate and roommate Haley Garcia makes salmon from scratch.

Wasserman bats right-handed, plays first and third base, and brings power to the lineup. Garcia, an outfielder, hits left-handed and, in Wasserman’s words, is a “slapper” at the plate. Garcia (.354) led the Tritons in hits this season, with Wasserman (.347) second.

“Competing with her is so much fun,” Wasserman said. “We go home and look at our stats. We are two completely different batters. We make silly goals between ourselves, making it fun, and that has really shifted my perspective of softball. My approach when I get in the box is just like, see ball, hit ball.”

For Wasserman, one of those goals heading into the Big West Championship in Fullerton was to connect for her first triple of the season, chasing Garcia’s team-high six.

In UC San Diego’s season-ending losses on May 6 to UC Santa Barbara (10-9) and Long Beach State (54), dropping the Tritons to 23-28, Wasserman came up short of the triple but still went long, hitting her seventh home run of the season and adding a double while driving in two runs.

Garcia, meanwhile, collected three hits of her own.

“My timing with the ball and contact — that’s where I found success,” said Wasserman, a 2023 All-North County Coastal and All-CIF selection and 2021 Palomar League North County and CIF Division I champion out of San Marcos High.

“It’s about not swinging for the fence and just hitting the top of every ball. I’ve been working on my swing path, staying short to the ball and short through it, and really just hunting my zone. Eliminating pitches I don’t want to hit right off the

bat has been really helpful— just hunting my zone.”

Wasserman, a junior who transferred to UC San Diego from UC Riverside before her sophomore season, following head coach Nikki Palmer, her former UCR coach, has made a significant leap at the plate this year, raising her batting average by nearly 100 points and her slugging percentage by 167 points.

“Every time I go to bat, I’m looking to hit right over the second baseman—line drive to the wall, right side,” she said.

She also noted that hitting behind slugging first baseman Maalia Cherry hasn’t hurt.

“She’s leading in home runs. She’s broken records. So hitting behind her is refreshing,” Wasserman said. “You’ve got a hitter who can hit one 450 dead center, and then I’m coming up right after her. I feel very empowered hitting in this spot in the lineup, and knowing behind me they’re going to

poke a ball, find a hole, and keep it moving if I get on.” For Wasserman, a high point since returning to San Diego has been the series rematches with her former team. The Tritons are 5-1 over the past two seasons against UC Riverside.

“It was exciting to play them,” she said. “I hit a bunch of balls at my two friends on the left side of the infield, and they made errors. So it was fun to see that, but it was also about finding that balance between competition and calm—being able to compete without letting other feelings get in the way.”

On the season-ending conference tournament, Wasserman said:

“I’m very excited to be here. It’s so much fun, and it’s something completely different than anything we’ve ever done in high school or travel ball. It’s a new experience. This is where everything I’ve put in every single day for months comes together— this final

Sports Clausen earns top-25 finish at Mizuho Open

Carlsbad girl, 15, has No. 52 AJGA national ranking

By Noah Perkins

CARLSBAD — Carlsbad native Mia Clausen, 15, tied for 21st this past weekend at the Mizuho Americas Open in West Caldwell, New Jersey, posting 126 points over four rounds in Stableford scoring against a field of top American Junior Golf Association players competing alongside LPGA Tour professionals.

Clausen, a Carlsbad High School sophomore, was one of 24 AJGA juniors selected for the event at Mountain Ridge Country Club.

“I think I’ve done a good job at trying to dial in my approach shots,” Clausen said. “And a year from now, I’d love to develop more shots for a short game, because I think that’s what a lot of the pros out here are good at — just getting up and down when they miss the green or just not making any big mistakes.”

The event was hosted by Michelle Wie West, who returned to competitive golf for the first time in nearly three years. The LPGA field also featured former AJGA

Junior Players of the Year Rose Zhang (2019, 2020), Yealimi Noh (2018), Patty Tavatanakit (2016), Andrea Lee (2014) and Alison Lee (2013.

Clausen said being on the same range and course as players she has long watched on television made the experience feel unreal.

“Insane,” Clausen said. “It feels like a dream. All of my idols that I’ve watched on TV are just playing right next to me.”

Aphrodite Deng of Short Hills, N.J., the No. 2 player in the AJGA Rankings and the 2025 AJGA Junior Player of the Year, won the event with a four-

round total of 148, finishing ahead of Amelie Zalsman (143) and Lily Peng (142).

Clausen said her focus throughout the week was on process rather than outcome.

“Did I do everything I could to prepare before the tournament?” she said. “And I think that’s what I should really focus on — doing what I can control is going to help me get the best result this week.”

In the week leading up to the tournament at Mountain Ridge, a par-71 championship layout known for its fast, demanding setup,

Clausen played three practice nines to prepare for the conditions.

“The greens are definitely pretty tricky this week,” she said. “They’re really fast and undulating, and it’s been pretty windy these past few days, so those are probably the toughest conditions.”

Clausen said the ninth hole stood out as the most difficult on the course.

“If you’re above the hole, there’s no chance of stopping it,” she said. “Even if you just tap your putt, it’s probably going to roll off the green.”

Clausen, who was selected to the 2026 U.S. National Junior Team, won her first two American Junior Golf Association titles in 2025 and currently holds a No. 52 national ranking with 208.457 points. In 2026, she has already posted four top-25 finishes, including a tie for third at the Junior Orange Bowl International Championship in January, a fourth-place finish at the K.J. Choi Foundation Texas Junior Championship in March, and a tie for 19th at the Sacramento Junior Championship in April.

Wine Spectator uncorks elite wines in San Diego

For years, Frank Mangio waxed poetically about the Wine Spectator Grand Tours he attended in Las Vegas. This year, Grand Tour expanded to Denver, San Diego and Tampa, with San Diego hosting the event for the first time. After attending this year’s showcase, it became easy to understand Frank’s enthusiasm.

Frank’s connection to Wine Spectator extends well beyond Grand Tour. As an up-and-coming wine journalist in the early 2000s, he participated in Wine Spectator’s Italian Wine Connoisseur certification program, studying directly under Marchesi Piero Antinori.

Ahead of its time, the program used online video conferencing long before remote learning became commonplace. Frank’s certification further strengthened the deep Italian wine roots that continue shaping Taste of Wine & Food today.

This year’s Grand Tour featured more than 200 wines from many of the world’s premier wine-growing regions, all rated 90 points or higher by Wine Spectator’s editors. Guests were welcomed with Juniper and Ivy Executive Chef Alex Penkin’s albacore tuna tostadas, which we paired with nearby Chalk Hill Chardonnay and Domaine Laroche Chablis, a vibrant start to the evening.

Wine Spectator organized wineries by country, allowing guests to experience a global wine journey. Frank and I began in France with standout wines from Maison Louis Latour and Maison Champy before exploring California favorites, including Stag’s Leap Wine

Sanchez poured the 2016 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon from a large-format bottle, bringing back memories of my 2024 visit with winemaker Marcus Notaro exploring Fay, S.L.V. and Cask 23.

At Caymus, Mary Gavin poured the 40th Anniversary Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon and shared the story behind the 2020 Emmolo Nurseryman Cabernet Sauvignon, honoring Frank Emmolo, whose nursery supplied grapevines to many of Napa Valley’s pioneering wineries. It was also a pleasure reconnecting with Scott Shirley of Justin Vineyards & Winery, who poured the winery’s flagship Isosceles blend.

Following a buffet break featuring sliced prime rib and a taco bar, Frank and I headed to the Italian wine section, where the evening became much more personal.

It is always a pleasure spending time with Silvio DiSilvio, Marchesi Antinori’s regional director of luxury accounts and education. While pouring the 2022 Badia a Passignano Gran Selezione Chianti Classico, our conversation shifted toward my upcoming 2027 Tuscany wine tour and revisiting wineries Frank explored during his travels through Italy in the early 2000s.

Silvio suggested I meet Niccolò Antinori, the 27th generation of the Antinori family, who would soon be visiting San Diego for a private tasting at L’Auberge Del Mar. The conversation reinforced something Frank and I discussed throughout the evening: the next generation of Taste of Wine &

Food reconnecting with the next generation of iconic wine families whose histories helped shape the publication’s early wine journey.

Nearby, Giovanni Masucci of Barone Ricasoli poured the Castello di Brolio Gran Selezione Chianti Classico while enthusiastically embracing my hopes of reconnecting the next generation of Taste of Wine & Food with the next generation of Ricasoli leadership during my future visit to Tuscany.

That momentum continued with Caterina Velez of Ruffino, who poured their 93-point Toscana Modus Primo and invited me to continue planning my Tuscany itinerary during an upcoming wine dinner with Ruffino executives.

What began as an evening of world-class wines at Grand Tour soon opened the door to a far more intimate experience, a private Antinori tasting and luncheon with Niccolò Antinori at L’Auberge Del Mar just over a week later.

It was a truly special opportunity to spend time with Niccolò, the grandson of Marchesi Piero Antinori. Wine runs through Niccolò’s DNA. Beyond his deep knowledge of Antinori’s legendary Tuscan wines, he spoke passionately about the family’s Napa Valley projects and philosophy.

phy deeply associated with Marchesi Piero: quality over quantity and a willingness to challenge convention. That mindset became famous through the creation of Tignanello, the groundbreaking Super Tuscan that redefined modern Italian wine. As Niccolò explained, Antinori’s philosophy has never been about simply following the rules, but rather pursuing excellence even when it means forging a different path.

Lunch concluded with a special Tignanello vertical featuring the 2023, 2015 and 2009 vintages. While each wine showcased the evolution of Tignanello over time, the 2015 stood out as my clear favorite — layered, elegant, complex, smooth and beautifully balanced.

Wine Spectator Grand Tour brought some of the world’s most celebrated wines to San Diego, but for Frank and me, the experience ultimately became about something even more meaningful: relationships, legacy, and the evolving next generation of wine culture. From Frank’s early connection with Marchesi Piero Antinori to my upcoming Tuscany journey, the experience served as a reminder that great wine is ultimately about people, stories and connections that continue across generations.

The tasting began with a revisit of the Badia a Passignano Gran Selezione, first poured at Grand Tour. Niccolò explained that Marchesi Piero strongly championed Gran Selezione to distinguish the highest tier of Chianti Classico wines.

Spring beer run to Denver

I Like Beer

Springtime means one thing: beer run! This year I headed to Denver with notes full of recommendations from San Diego brewers and beer experts who have made the annual trek to Denver for the Great American Beer Festival.

Accommodations in the River North Art District (RiNo) gave me the best access to a number of fantastic breweries. And the RiNo Beer Garden with 60-plus taps of local beers was the place to start.

After weeks of preparation, a lot depends on that first pint. I went over and over the list. I knew it had to be something brewed locally. Hoppy. Or maybe dark. German style lagers were calling out too. So what did I pick?

Princess Yum Yum from Denver Beer Co. Not exactly what I had in mind, but there was a long line and blurted out the beer when I reached the counter. The tagline got me: “There’s a princess in all of us — even you — and this one’s got your name written in glitter!”

No worries. This tart, raspberry kolsch-style ale was just the refreshing drink I needed. It was 78 degrees and sunny (although the forecast had called for snow flurries).

Multiple breweries are all within walking distance in the RiNo District, each serving an impressive lineup of well-crafted beers. A standout was Odell’s Girl’s Inc Rice and Shine, which looked like a glass of orange juice but tasted like paradise in a glass. The base is Japanese lager, but it’s full of mango and coconut. (Beer purists, believe me, I had my doubts too).

On the advice of Tomme Arthur (Lost Abbey Brewing), I headed to Bierstadt Lagerhaus for the Slow Pour Pils. This beer is described as “shockingly pale and brilliantly clear,” which seems to describe most lagers and pilsners. Until you set eyes on it. Then you see the difference. I can only describe it as “shocking” and “brilliant.”

It does take a full five minutes to get this pour, but that allows plenty of time for a couple of schnitts (short or half pours) of other true-tostyle German beers.

Later in the week, I headed north for fly fishing on National Beer Day. I had a plan; two in fact. First, I would sink bottles of ale in the ice cold river until it was time to sit back on the bank and enjoy them Hemingway-style. But, there was no alcohol allowed on (or in) the river, so that plan was dashed.

Not to worry, minutes away is iconic New Belgium Brewing. A classic Fat Tire ale after a day on the river would do just fine for celebrating National Beer Day.

They were closed. On National Beer Day. Nothing posted online, just a paper sign on the door. Employee appreciation party, apparently. Closed to the public. Did I mention it was National Beer Day?

Left Hand Brewing to the rescue! Open and serving cask ales. Crisis averted and I was able to celebrate with an unbelievably good pale ale.

Back in Denver proper

there were several other key beer experiences awaiting. Coors Field for a Rockies game included sunset at The Rooftop. And a beer at Sandlot Brewery, the first brewery in a major league ballpark. I had that malty, dark German-style beer I had been pining for: Check Swing.

While Coors Field can’t match Petco for beer selection, the $8 ticket, $20 parking and $3 beers before the first pitch were the deal of the week.

Another Denver beer must was a glass of Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout from Wynkoop Brewing, Denver’s

first brewpub. “Deep flavors of chocolate, coffee, roasted grains and nuts. Yes, nuts. Three balls per barrel.” Their tasting notes, not mine. It was good. Wouldn’t have it again.

There was no way I could go all the way to Denver and not make a side trip to Coors in Golden. The tour was interesting and provided a favorable information to beer tasting ratio. Banquet Beer cold and fresh was very nice. I still couldn’t finish a Coors Light though.

Plenty more breweries and great beers in Denver that didn’t make this column. If you haven’t ventured there yet, have it on your short list of great American beer cities.

I like this beer!

Board Schwarz from Fox Point Brewing in Encinitas. A dark lager that is smooth and surprisingly light. Served straight from the tank to the glass with ingredients grown in the farm next to the brewery, it doesn’t get fresher than this.

proved a tentative parcel map consolidating Urban Villages’ 24 parcels on the Block 4 site into two larger parcels, with the final map still pending approval. The city has extended the original 2021 expiration date for the tentative map multiple times, and most recently agreed to extend it until 2028 while Urban Villages is involved in the lawsuit with the Santos family.

The Santos family said they began to notice their easement access being restricted in 2019, when Urban Villages began grading and other construction on the nearby properties. This made it more difficult for them to navigate cars, and in some cases, caused their cars to bottom out, the Santos’s said in court documents.

They complained to San Marcos officials several times and said Urban Villages eventually moved the fencing farther from their property, the Santos family said.

In a November letter, an attorney representing the city reiterated that the easement is shared between the Santos’s and Urban Villages. However, they emphasized that the easement is a matter for the courts to determine, and that the city cannot be responsible for enforcing it.

There have been other issues as well. Last year, while crews were completing construction on the easement, a piece of concrete struck Gloria Santos’ car, breaking the window as she was exiting the vehicle.

Liz Santos said there have also been aggressive interactions with workers completing construction for Urban Villages.

In January, Liz Santos said she lay down in the easement to block a bulldozer from entering it, believing they were illegally making changes to it. She also stood in front of another construction vehicle and said they backed up and struck her, causing her to hyperextend the back of her knees.

During this interaction, law enforcement was called to the scene. Liz Santos said she also spoke with Darren

ing to take full control of the easement, Liz Santos said.

San Marcos city officials said while the lawsuit doesn’t involve the city, the issue over the easement needs to be resolved before they can continue negotiations with the Santos’s.

“The city is not a part of the lawsuit, but the outcome of the dispute will affect the property’s appraised value, which is needed to complete the negotiations,” Matosian said.

San Marcos officials also said the outcome of the easement lawsuit will have no bearing on the approval of the North City project on the land, despite Urban Villages saying otherwise in their lawsuit.

While the Hampton Inn and storage site project is on a lot different from Block 4, Liz Santos said the continued approval of Urban Villages projects in the University District Specific Plan could make it harder for them to rebuild their homes in the long run.

“We have been here for the better part of 50 years. The applicant presenting tonight has controlling interest in the University District Plan,” Santos told the City Council.

TRIAL

CONTINUED FROM FRONT

murdering Jackson.

Lindberg said that while in custody, Oyler was placed in a cell with an undercover jail operative posing as an inmate.

In video clips played in court, the two men can be heard discussing why Oyler was arrested.

At one point, Oyler says, “She scratched me.”

In another clip, the operative asks Oyler if he “just left her there,” and Oyler responds that he “threw her down a hill.”

But Oyler’s defense attorney, Kara Oien, said none of the statements her client made amounted to confessions or admissions to murdering Jackson. She said Oyler’s statements were “vague remarks” made in response to the operative’s prodding questions about the case.

The attorney also said the DNA evidence only told part of the story, as its presence alone could not show that Oyler had any involvement in Jackson’s death.

Levitt, vice president of Sea Breeze Properties, and the situation eventually de-escalated.

Urban Villages did not answer questions about this alleged incident.

Frustration

Eminent domain from the city is also putting pressure on Gloria Santos and her family.

Liz Santos said that around 2021, the city of San Marcos reached out to them

about a partial acquisition of their property for the planned Barham Drive road widening project. This project would move up the existing street line at least 23 feet north onto their properties.

This would require demolishing the two homes as they currently exist. Under state law, the Santos family would need to be compensated for the value of the lost property and any reduction to their overall property value.

Liz Santos said that after the road widening is complete, they want to rebuild on what remains of the lots. When discussing driveway access during negotiations with the city about the partial acquisition, Liz and Gloria Santos told the city they could continue to access both properties using the easement.

All negotiations with the city stopped once Urban Villages filed their quiet title lawsuit in early 2023, seek-

Liz Santos said she is concerned that her family’s property rights are not being respected, and that the city is prioritizing Urban Villages’ projects over their eventual rebuild.

On several occasions over the past year, Liz Santos has raised these concerns before the San Marcos City Council. In December, the City Council agreed to amend the University District Specific Plan to include the Hampton Inn on Carmel Street in its boundaries and to establish a storage overlay zone for the creation of a Cubesmart Storage along Carmel Street.

“The science can’t tell you how the DNA got there, when the DNA got there, why the DNA’s there. The DNA cannot prove violence and the DNA cannot prove murder,” Oien said.

The defense attorney said that until the DNA testing was conducted decades later, Oyler was not on investigators’ radar, and she argued detectives overlooked critical leads and failed to collect or test a number of items that could have led to answers in 1990.

“You will not hear any reliable evidence that Mr. Oyler caused this death,” Oien said.

Interfaith debuts O’side music festival fundraiser

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — Five

local music groups took the stage at the Oceanside Pier Amphitheater over the weekend for the inaugural Amplified Impact Music Festival, turning a friendly battle of the bands into a fundraiser for services to help people in need and other North County causes.

Organized by Interfaith Community Services on May 9, the new event was designed to showcase local talent and raise funds to support the agency’s mission and other causes throughout North County.

The festival also featured a vintage market with creations by local artists and thrifted clothing from Kind Threads, Interfaith’s resale apparel store in San Marcos.

Attendees purchased votes for their favorite performers, with proceeds split between the performers’ chosen causes and Interfaith’s social services programs.

Headquartered in Escondido, Interfaith is North County’s largest social services agency, providing programs that help homeless, low-income, and other at-risk individuals work toward self-sufficiency.

The band receiving the most votes earned a $2,500 grand prize.

The Blackouts, a local San Diego band formed a decade ago as an all-sober group, won first place after

raising $2,370. The band selected Interfaith as the beneficiary for its votes.

Kainga Music, a Vista-based nonprofit music school focused on bringing community members together through the steel pan, placed second after raising $1,835. Kainga selected its own programs as its cause.

Powder, a local indie alternative band, finished third, raising $355. The group, made up of close friends, is known as the first two-time champion of the San Dieguito High School Academy Battle of

the Bands. Powder selected Interfaith’s Kind Threads as its designated cause.

Local band Grand Nova and North County’s City Light Music Academy also performed during the festival.

Banjo innovator revives bluegrass roots in Carlsbad

Listening to Tony Trischka describe his upcoming May 21 performance at the Museum of

Making Music in Carlsbad, it becomes clear how his wide-ranging interests and passion for sharing music shaped his career.

“I have all sorts of interests,” Trischka told The Coast News.

Trischka said he plans to play songs by banjo legend Earl Scruggs after receiving a thumb drive filled with rare recordings of Scruggs jamming with John Hartford, who wrote “Gentle on My Mind” and “In Tall Buildings,” among other songs.

Trischka began transcribing what he heard and

used the material as the foundation for his Grammy-nominated album, “Earl Jam: A Tribute to Earl Scruggs.”

“I often say I wouldn’t exist without Earl Scruggs, because he sort of — without knowing it — dictated the direction of my life,” Trischka said.

He added that he learned a great deal simply by watching his hero play, but also got to spend time with Scruggs at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in New York City.

“I would just kind of hang out in the dressing room with Earl for 20 minutes to half an hour, and we would just chew the fat,” Trischka said. “He would talk about the old days, and tell these really wonderful stories. He was very willing to share that.”

Trischka also knew folksinger Pete Seeger and said he plans to play some of his songs during the Carlsbad show. Seeger’s wife, Toshi Seeger, had been a school friend of Trischka’s mother.

In addition to Seeger’s environmental, civil rights and other political causes — including efforts to clean up the Hudson River — Trischka said he came to deeply admire his banjo playing.

“Musically, he was a great banjo player, which a lot of people don’t realize,” he said. “And that’s why I play a couple of things in my show that demonstrate

what an incredible banjo player he was. Like I said, I got friendly. I would go up to his house and visit with him and he recorded on one of my albums and it was a very special thing to know him — this great man. And we could surely use him today.”

Another style of music he plans to include, Trischka said, is a polka tune.

“Because that’s so popular these days,” he said with a laugh.

Trischka has followed in the footsteps of the musicians before him who shared the stories and traditions of bluegrass and banjo music.

He has published several books on the subject and mentored generations of players, including Béla Fleck, who began studying with him as a teenager.

Trischka added that while he does not sing, his performances create opportunities for audiences to contribute vocals.

“I get the audience to sing along on a few tunes,” he said. “One thing that Earl Scruggs used to talk about was playing the syllables of a tune on a banjo. Rather than kind of playing the melody, you play the exact melody in the way it would be sung, phrasing it as you would sing it.

“God, he was so amazing. His timing was so completely in the pocket.”

Three Sisters Garden: Fresh vegetables at Casita Center

jano’s garden

On a quiet back street in Vista

sits a small school vegetable small garden. Crafted by K-5 students at Casita Center for Technology, Science and Math. this collection of vegetables is not only a gardening lesson, but also lesson in history.

Assistant Principal Tammy Lee and her talented staff have researched a project in one of the 15 beds, fondly known as the Three Sisters Garden, which features corn, beans and squash.

A lesson in Native American culture

Native American gardens can teach us about the Iroquois, showing us a “system adapted by the culture that experimented with crops that respond to each other.” This lesson came from just one of the many activities featured in the Cornell University Garden-Based Learning Program.

If you and your children would be interested in creating a home-based garden program this summer, and would like to create The

Three Sisters Garden, visit the site (gardening.cals. cornell.edu) for planting instructions, harvesting and related science activities. This site is a great resource.

Casita Center cooks up a storm

At the Casita Center in Vista, the outdoor garden activities are part of the STEM program, which integrates hands-on learning, imagineering, sustainability, communications and core subjects.

According to Lee: “Our students experience the full gambit of producing food when they participate in cooking projects with

kitchen lab instructor Grace Gray. ... The students participate in nutrition lessons each week, such as cooking with the Three Sisters Garden or making guacamole! Another favorite is making pizza with toppings of fresh tomato, basil and peppers.”

Planners reluctantly approve Ocean Bluff project

By Cameron Adams ENCINITAS — Plan-

ning commissioners reluctantly yet unanimously approved a 27-unit development overlooking Encinitas Boulevard during a May 7 meeting, voicing frustration over state housing laws they said left them with little choice.

The Ocean Bluff residential project would sit atop the hill just south of Encinitas Boulevard, east of the intersection with Westlake Street and Quail Gardens Road.

Of the 27 for-sale units, three would be restricted to “very low-income qualifying households,” according to city documents. The plan calls for single-family detached homes on 4.5 acres of the site, while the remaining 2.7 acres would be preserved as open space because of an extreme slope. Retaining walls would provide support for the preserved area.

That qualified the project for waivers under the state Density Bonus Law, including exemptions for setback limits, lot splitting, street radii and sidewalks.

Jonathan Frankel, representing developer Rincon Homes, said the project would provide more than 20% more parking than required, totaling 95 spaces, which contributed to the lack of sidewalks.

“This is a very careful kind of balancing act and we have to try and fit this thousand piece puzzle together in the best possible way that we can,” Frankel said.

Before voting in favor of the project, Planning Commissioner Robert Prendergast said the developer had shown “greed” in some of its design choices, namely the size disparity between the affordable and surrounding market-rate homes.

“I can’t blame the developer for having to include five bedrooms because that’s what state law requires. That’s kind of silly,” he said. “But I can blame them for building an 18,800-squarefoot house next to a 3,500-square-foot home. That’s just pure greed, flat out.”

The May 7 discussion

that clearly calls out the affordable units as just being tiny, squeezed in, minimal yards,” he said.

Frankel said “the bedroom count and the floorplan associated with those units were created in order to be compliant” with state housing laws. He added that the tradeoffs would help lower-income residents become homeowners.

continued a process that began in November 2023 and has since included multiple community workshops and public discussions, including an earlier Planning Commission hearing that was delayed due to unanswered questions.

Like the previous meeting, Commissioner Stephen Dalton recused himself because his architectural firm had provided services and received compensation from Rincon Homes within the last year, though he said the work was unrelated to the Ocean Bluff project.

“I’m recusing myself to avoid a conflict of interest,” he said.

Several conditions changed in the intervening months, including window designs, lighting plans and the establishment of a third-party consultant to ensure the affordable units go to qualified residents.

Frankel said he was “happy to pay” for the consultant and added the requirement to the revised motion at city staff’s recommendation.

The approach marks a departure from the practice of allowing developers to hire their own consultants.

“That condition allows the city to use a third party consultant to ensure that the affordable units are received by those who qualify for those affordable units,” said Esteban Danna, a city planner.

Frankel also said the development team had worked with neighbors immediately west of the project site and resolved five of seven

concerns raised during the earlier meeting, including retaining wall modifications and the purchase of privacy trees.

“We know if you’re immediately adjacent to the site, you’re impacted in a unique way and you are uniquely situated and we should go above and beyond what we’re required to do in order to address those concerns,” he said.

Walter Frandsen, speaking on behalf of his mother, who has owned a neighboring property for more than 50 years, said that some issues involving tree limbs and trucks were still under discussion. However, he said he understood the developer’s position on the two remaining unresolved items.

“It has been refreshing to deal with them on these issues and be able to get some satisfactory answers,” Frandsen said.

Another change separated the removal of existing communications equipment from the project approval itself. Danna said the split would speed up the process.

“In this situation, since the demolition of the wireless facilities is not something that’s a controversial issue or has not had any public comments on, it can be separated,” he said. “It can go ahead and move forward while the residential component goes through the public hearing process.”

The demolition item passed unanimously.

Similar to the November meeting, residents used public comment to express

concerns about the project’s design, including the loss of open space, geological impacts and drainage issues.

Frankel said the developer remained committed to ensuring the site was safe.

“I think the interests of the city, the community and us are absolutely aligned in this respect,” he said.

The loudest complaints centered on traffic impacts. Neighbors said additional residents could worsen congestion during peak hours and create bottlenecks during emergencies.

Abe Bandegan, a city traffic engineer, said Encinitas evaluates traffic using SANDAG standards and that the city lacked discretion over the methodology.

“These are standard practices not just [in the] City of Encinitas,” he said. “Everywhere in the county uses the same process.”

Using observed traffic data from 2022 and assumptions about commuting patterns, Bandegan said the project would generate traffic impacts below thresholds requiring additional mitigation.

“As big as 27 units are for the neighborhood obviously, what it translates to is only eight trips during the peak hour at Westlake and Encinitas Boulevard,” he said. “That leg carries about 5-600 vehicles during the peak period. So we’re adding eight trips to that 5-600 trips.”

Bandegan said the project would increase delays by about half a second per vehicle, below the city’s two-second significance threshold.

“Again, there’s no way that we would say there’s no impact to the neighborhood,” Bandegan said. “There will be impact, but it is below the significance threshold that’s set in our guidelines.”

Frankel acknowledged the project would add traffic to nearby roads but said the impacts remain within city standards.

“We know traffic is a headache that everybody has to deal with,” Frankel said. “We certainly understand that and would never claim we’re not going to add trips to area roadways. We certainly will. But, as you heard from the city traffic engineer, there are objective thresholds by which all projects are judged, and we don’t meet any of those.”

Commissioner Bridget Kimball said the calculations might overlook other roadway impacts.

“I come from a tech background so numbers are important but we don’t have the right metrics to measure to make the findings that we know are there,” she said. “We don’t have the framework to create it.”

Regarding the size difference between affordable and market-rate homes, Danna said city rules require units to be “comparable in exterior appearance and overall quality of construction” and to contain similar bedroom counts.

Prendergast called it “kind of silly” that state law allows significantly smaller homes to be “dwarfed” by neighboring properties.

“You give us a project

“Certainly we recognize that some of the features of these units are not the same as the market rate,” he said. “I can tell you firsthand in talking [with] and seeing the families that benefit from these programs, it is an absolutely life-changing experience and we’re really proud to be able to provide that.”

Commissioner William Whitteker agreed with Prendergast’s concerns.

“They’re building a five bedroom home with two baths forcing people with lower income to live that way and that’s unfair,” he said. “It’s another example of just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.”

Still, Whitteker and Prendergast said there was little the commission could do to halt the project.

“We clearly have identified gaps in the code,” Prendergast said. “I’m not happy about it – clearly from the tone, words and descriptors I’ve used. But as strong as my tone was, the net result of the dialogue between the applicant and staff was that they had met the conditions for approval.”

Commissioner Michael Quinn, who was not part of the earlier discussion, said he felt like he was “jumping in the middle of a firestorm.”

“I do feel under duress, like my fellow commissioner had mentioned earlier,” Quinn said. “Of course, we have a density bonus that we’re dealing with, and there’s nothing we can do about that.”

The approval can be appealed to the City Council within 10 days of the May 7 decision.

“I hope the community considers appealing,” Whitteker said. “Please do.”

CAPS hosts 26th annual gala

CAPS Pregnancy+ Medical Clinics, with 5 licensed medical clinics located throughout San Diego, hosted its highly-anticipated 26th Annual “Abundant Life” Gala Fundraising Dinner on Saturday, April 25, 2026. This event celebrated 26 years of transforming lives with CAPS, and featured keynote speaker Erin Hawley, Senior Counsel, Vice President of the Center for Life & Regulatory Practice at ADF.

The fundraising dinner took place at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Mission Valley, commencing at 4:30 p.m. with an elegant VIP Reception exclusively for Table Sponsors and Underwriters with keynote speaker Erin Hawley. Guests at the VIP Reception received a photo with Hawley, heard her remarks during a Q&A, and received an autographed copy of her book entitled “LIVING BELOVED: LESSONS FROM MY LITTLE ONES ABOUT THE HEART OF GOD.” Tony Simoncini, CAPS Board Vice Chairman, served as the evening’s Emcee, with Alex Vargas conducting the successful Paddle Raise portion of the evening.

“It was a truly wonderful evening, filled with inspiration and hope,” said Jim Sardo, long time Board Member and loyal Event Sponsor. “Guest Speaker Erin Hawley delivered an incredible message that deeply resonated with everyone present. Her words were both powerful and uplifting. Executive Director Julie Dowler also spoke about the progress this nonprofit organization has made, and shared an exciting vision for the future.

CAPS Pregnancy+ Medical Clinics now have five brickand-mortar locations serving young women, and are preparing to launch a new Virtual Clinic. This addition will give women easy access to information and guidance 24/7whenever they need it most.

Emergency departments serve as a critical front line for community healthcare, providing around-the-clock treatment for serious injuries, sudden illnesses and life-threatening medical events. As North County continues to grow, demand for emergency services has increased across the region, placing added pressure on hospitals and emergency care teams.

In response to those growing needs, Tri-City Medical Center has unveiled a redesigned Emergency Department intended to improve patient flow, expand treatment capacity and support faster access to care for Oceanside, Vista and Carlsbad residents.

The newly updated space represents the largest project in the history of the Tri-City Hospital Foundation and was supported through a $5.2 million community fundraising effort led by the Foundation, with the incredible support of the David C. Copley Foundation and the Conrad Prebys Foundation, alongside local donors, businesses and philanthropic partners. Community support helped make possible a major modernization effort focused on improving both the patient experience and the efficiency of emergency care delivery throughout the facility.

Tri-City Medical Center’s Emergency Department serves as one of the region’s key centers for emergency and acute care, including treatment for heart attack and stroke patients. The Emergency Department also treats tens of thousands of patients annually, making it one of the most important healthcare access points for residents in the region.

The redesigned department includes a modernized triage and intake area, expanded treatment capacity and upgraded care spaces designed to improve efficiency and enhance the patient experience. Updated intake and triage processes are intended to help patients be evaluated and connected with care teams more efficiently after arriving at the hospital.

Expanded treatment areas are also designed to support the medical center during periods of peak demand while helping reduce delays and improve overall patient throughput. Improvements to patient flow may also help reduce ambulance

diversions and support more consistent emergency response capacity across North County.

The redesign focused heavily on workflow improvements for physicians, nurses and emergency staff who coordinate care around the clock. Improved sightlines, upgraded equipment areas and more efficient treatment layouts are intended to support communication, coordination and patient monitoring throughout the Emergency Department.

Hospital leaders say the project was designed around one central goal: helping patients receive high-quality care as quickly and efficiently as possible during medical emergencies. The renovation also emphasized creating a more patient-centered environment for both patients and their families during what are often stressful and uncertain moments.

The redesigned waiting and family areas were created to provide a calmer and more comfortable environment, helping improve privacy and overall comfort while patients await treatment updates or test results.

The Emergency Department renovation is part of a broader multi-year effort by Tri-City Medical Center focused on expanding access to care, investing in clinical technology and strengthening healthcare services throughout North County.

In recent years, the medical center has continued investing in advanced surgical technology, specialized care programs and facility improvements designed to serve the evolving healthcare needs of the community.

For many residents, having access to advanced emergency care close to home provides reassurance that help is available when it is needed most. As healthcare needs continue to evolve across the region, Tri-City Medical Center remains focused on providing high-quality emergency and acute care for the communities it has served for more than six decades.

INDIVIDUALS OR couples with high-value estates should seriously consider gifting assets to the next generations now, while estate and gift tax rates are more favorable. Stock photo

Think you’re not wealthy enough? Many in Congress disagree

On March 12, 2026, Senator Chris Van Hollen introduced the Strengthen Social Security by Taxing Dynastic Wealth Act. This proposal raises the current estate and gift tax rate from 40% to 45%. Reduces the individual lifetime estate tax exemptions from the current $15M level ($30M per couple) down to $3.5M per an individual’s estate or $7M for a couple’s estate. Reduces the amount an individual can gift during lifetime from the current $15M ($30M per couple) to just $1M per individual or $2M per couple.

The impetus for these changes; the risk of Social Security becoming insolvent as early as 2033, if Congress does nothing, forcing benefits to drop by an estimated 20% placing millions of retirees in financial distress. Add to that reality, the projected costs reaching 1 trillion for the Iran war according to experts including Harvard public policy expert Linda Bilmes.

With the national debt climbing at an alarming rate, it’s becoming impossible for a reticent Congress to keep kicking the can down the road.

While it’s highly unlikely this bill will be enacted during Trump’s term, if the House and Senate’s control shifts to democrats it’s not impossible to imagine that some form of these proposed changes could become law. If Congress and the president are controlled by Democrats after the 2028 election it may be a forgone conclusion that we will see greatly reduced federal estate tax exemptions, potentially with no ongoing inflation adjustments.

So, for individuals with estates higher than the $3.5M exemption or $7M

The Boarding Home brings fresh social experience to Carlsbad Village

In a world dominated by screens and scrolling, The Boarding Home Community Game Café is bringing people back to the table—literally. Located in the heart of Carlsbad Village, this unique destination is quickly becoming a go-to spot for locals looking to unplug, connect, and have some genuine fun.

What sets The Boarding Home apart is its impressive and ever-growing library of board games. From timeless classics to modern strategy favorites, there’s something for everyone—whether you’re a seasoned gamer or just looking for a relaxed, entertaining night out. The friendly, knowledgeable staff are always on hand to recommend games and help newcomers jump right in, making the experience approachable for all ages.

for a married couple, every dollar over those limits will subject the estate to a 45% estate tax liability. Worse yet, if you gift assets during your lifetime, you will be limited to a $1M gift-tax exemption, with every dollar of gift value above $1M subjected to a 45% gift tax.

What should you do if your estate is or will be higher than these proposed limits?

Be proactive and get advice as to what assets you can transfer today using your available lifetime gift and estate tax exemptions. If congress reduces the gift and estate tax exemptions before you take advantage of the current historically high levels, you will lose the opportunity. Anyone with an estate value higher than the proposed exemptions should review their options to shift wealth using the current exemptions available to them to reduce the estate tax burden. If your estate value exceeds the current $15M individual exemptions or $30M exemptions per couple, you should seriously consider gifting assets to the next generations, applying any unused exemptions.

There are many mechanisms that provide the opportunity to shift assets at potential discounts and not only remove the value of the assets from your estate today but also the asset’s income and growth. An indirect benefit of shifting assets may be asset protection for yourself and the beneficiaries of your gifts.

For more information and advice on asset transfer using lifetime gift and estate tax exemptions contact Estate Resource Group at www.estateresourcegroup. com or call their office at 858-209-1474 to schedule a confidential consultation.

Beyond the wall of games, the space itself is part of the magic. The lounge features a thoughtfully designed play space that feels both inviting and enchanting. Through curated artwork, artifacts, and the recently restored cave mural “The Dawn of Games,” you will discover details that hint at a deeper story connected to the origin of The Boarding Home.

Of course there are also communal tables, cozy seating, and an atmosphere that encourages laughter and connection. It’s the

kind of place where strangers become teammates and friends turn into friendly rivals, all in the spirit of fun.

And then there’s the café. More than just an addon, it’s a central part of the experience. Guests can enjoy a curated selection of coffee, drinks, and snacks that keep the good times going. Whether you’re settling in for a long game session or just stopping by for a quick visit, the menu adds another layer of comfort and enjoyment.

The Boarding Home isn’t just a café and game room—it’s an experience.

It’s where date nights become memorable, family outings feel fresh again, and group hangouts take on a whole new level of energy.

SNAP grows mobile spay/neuter efforts

San Diego nonprofit SNAP is preparing to launch a second mobile spay and neuter bus aimed at serving pet owners in Central San Diego and the South Bay, expanding access to low- and no-cost veterinary services for families who might otherwise be unable to afford care for their animals.

The new vehicle represents a major step forward for SNAP’s ongoing mission to prevent pet overpopulation through accessible and community-based services.

Once operational, the mobile clinic will travel directly into underserved neighborhoods, helping remove barriers such as transportation challenges and financial hardship that often prevent pet owners from seeking spay and neuter services.

In the coming days, SNAP will conduct a professional photo shoot featuring dogs, cats and rabbits whose images will appear on the exterior of the bus.

The portraits are intended to celebrate the generosity of donors who helped fund the purchase of the vehicle, many of whom chose to honor beloved pets by contributing to the project.

The expansion effort received another boost last weekend during “Spayghetti,” SNAP’s annual fundraising event held at Del Mar Social.

More than 100 supporters attended the evening fundraiser, which raised money to equip the interior of the bus with medical equipment, kennels and other es-

SNAP IS set to launch a second mobile spay and neuter

sential supplies, while also helping support staffing needs for veterinarians and veterinary assistants.

The event brought together animal lovers from across San Diego County and highlighted the growing regional support for SNAP’s work.

A special guest for the evening was County Supervisor Joel Anderson, who attended in support of the organization and its efforts to expand services in southeastern San Diego County.

Organizers say the need for affordable spay and neuter services continues to grow as shelters and rescue organizations face over -

crowding challenges throughout the region.

By bringing veterinary care directly into neighborhoods, SNAP hopes to make preventative care more accessible while reducing the number of unwanted litters entering local shelters.

Looking ahead, SNAP plans to continue expanding its outreach efforts and strengthening partnerships throughout the county to meet rising community demand.
