‘Ghost’ charged in attack

Hate crime alleged at synagogue protest

Staff and wire reports

CARLSBAD — A Carlsbad man was arrested Monday in connection with an alleged assault on a Jewish man near a synagogue in the Pico-Robertson area of Los Angeles two years ago.

Zaid Gitesatani, 28, of Carlsbad, known online as “Ghost” and the operator of the vigilante social media page Creep Catcher Unit, pleaded not guilty to one count of a hate crime at his arraignment May 18 in Los Angeles federal court.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael B. Kaufman ordered him released on a $10,000 bond. A tentative trial date was scheduled for July 14.

According to the indictment, a real estate agency known as My Home in Israel advertised an event scheduled for June 23, 2024, at the Adas Torah Synagogue in Los Angeles’ Pico-Robertson neighborhood. The event was intended to promote land for sale in Israel.

Several pro-Palestinian groups then planned and advertised a protest at the event. One of the advertisements stated protesters would “stand against settler expansion,” court papers show.

Prosecutors allege Gitesatani traveled to Los Angeles to attend the protest.

On the afternoon of the event, a Jewish man whose name was not revealed in court papers was TURN TO HATE CRIME ON 18

Memorial Day will be observed May 25 with ceremonies, tributes and community events across North County to honor the nation’s fallen service members. Event details on 34

Mosque Shooting

Victims of rampage hailed as heroes

SAN

DIEGO

—

As multi-agency investigations into the deadly violence passed the 24-hour mark, Islamic community leaders and law enforcement officials Tuesday hailed as heroes the three men who lost their lives in this week’s shooting rampage at a Clairemont Mesa mosque.

The victims of the apparent hate-crime killings “sacrificed their lives to protect the entire community inside the Islamic Center of San Diego,” Imam Taha Hassane, director of the Eckstrom

Avenue mosque, told reporters during a midday briefing Tuesday.

One of the men slain during the late-morning attack — carried out, according to investigators, by two teenagers who later shot themselves to death — was a security guard who helped thwart further bloodshed by exchanging gunfire with the assailants, suffering fatal wounds in the process.

“His actions without a doubt delayed, distracted and ultimately deterred these two individuals from gaining access to the greater areas of the mosque, where as

many as 140 kids were within 15 feet of these suspects,” San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said of security worker Amin Abdullah. “Tragically, he died in that gunbattle.”

The others who perished in the gun rampage at the mosque, congregation members Nader Awad and Mansour Kaziha, also helped minimize the shooters’ opportunities for inflicting further harm, according to police.

“The other two victims, as

Dance teacher pleads not guilty to child sex abuse

By Leo Place

VISTA — A former dance teacher accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl while she was a student at a Carlsbad dance studio pleaded not guilty last week to six felony counts of child sexual assault.

Ledarnay Fontenette Luckie, 39, of Encinitas (previously identified by the Carlsbad Police Department as Ledarnay Luckie Fontenette) entered his not guilty plea in Vista Superior Court during his arraignment on May 14, which had been rescheduled from the week prior.

The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office has charged Luckie with six counts of lewd and lascivious act upon a child aged 14 and 15. According to Carlsbad police, the survivor in the case, who is now an adult, reported in December that Luckie had sexually abused her while she was attending the Carlsbad Performing Arts Academy.

After several months of investigation, Luckie was arrested on April 29. He was released on $400,000 bail shortly afterward.

The alleged abuse occurred between 2011 and 2013 when the victim was 14 to 15 years old. According to the criminal complaint, Luckie kissed the girl and touched her in the vaginal area both at the dance studio and in a car.

Deputy District Attorney Claudia Plascencia said Luckie was a prominent figure in the dance community for many years, and people in the community deserve to know what occurred.

“Child abuse occurs behind closed doors. It doesn’t happen in the open where there tend to be eyewitnesses and surveillance footage, and so it does make these cases particularly challenging,” said Plascencia. “But we have a strong victim that is willing to go through this process and is seeking justice for herself, and so the People are confident that we will be able to prove this case.”

At the time, Luckie was a decade older than the victim, per the complaint.

Carlsbad Performing Arts Academy stated after the arrest that Luckie has not worked at the academy in over eight years, and said they do not believe any current students have been affected.

Carlsbad Police reported that two other women also reported being similarly abused by Luckie while attending dance classes at the same studio when they were teenagers. However, the DA’s Office was unable to file charges related to these incidents, according to Plascencia.

“There are additional witnesses that came forward to report activity, but it wasn’t activity that was able to be charged at this stage,” Plascencia said.

Judge Brian Erickson agreed to impose a criminal protective order preventing Luckie from contacting the

victim, whose identity was withheld. He is also prohibited from being around children under the age of 16 in a dance class capacity.

The District Attorney’s Office also requested that the court impose a condition allowing search and seizure of Luckie’s electronics, to ensure he is not communicating with the victim or witnesses in the case.

Defense Attorney Jacqueline Goodman pushed back against this.

“He was a dance instructor, but has not been a dance instructor for a number of years. He is not in contact with minors on

a regular basis, and there’s no indication, at least as far as I know, that he’s been in touch with any of these accusers in a number of years,” Goodman said.

The judge declined to impose the condition regarding electronics, but ruled that Luckie will have to submit himself to a search of his person.

Luckie’s next court appearance will be on July 30. He most recently worked as a hair stylist at his Solana Beach salon, LuckieStyles.

Carlsbad Police said in April that they believe there may be other victims who have not been identi-

fied. Along with Carlsbad Performing Arts Academy, investigators also confirmed that Luckie worked at DanceFX studio in San Marcos between 2011 and 2017.

Anyone with information related to this case is encouraged to contact Detective Paige Haar of the Carlsbad Police Department at 760-579-2824 or Paige.Haar@carlsbadca. gov.

Local teen arrested after reckless chase

A 17-year-old Encinitas resident was arrested last week following a nearly three-month investigation into a reckless evading incident involving an illegal e-motorcycle, authorities said.

The incident began just before 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 4, when a deputy from the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station attempted to stop an e-motorcycle being driven illegally in the 200 block of North El Camino Real, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities said the rider fled after the deputy activated emergency lights, crossing into oncoming traffic lanes, speeding and performing stunts while attempting to evade deputies.

The pursuit was called off because of the danger

posed to the public, sheriff’s officials said. The rider later sped away from an ASTREA helicopter, and the e-motorcycle was later found abandoned in Carlsbad.

Following an investigation, deputies and detectives contacted the juvenile suspect at his home around 4:30 p.m. May 13 and arrested him on suspicion of evading a peace officer with disregard for public safety, in violation of California Vehicle Code 2800.2.

Sheriff’s officials reminded the public that e-motorcycles are not street-legal and said that unsafe or illegal operation of e-bikes and e-motorcycles may result in enforcement action.

Julian animal rescue cares for 160 horses

More than 160 rescued horses and farm animals have received urgent medical treatment or been transported to permanent sanctuaries as a massive animal rescue operation continues in Julian, officials said Monday.

Over the weekend, a coordinated team of 10 farriers, seven equine veterinarians, animal caregivers and volunteers worked on the Villa Chardonnay property to provide critical dental and hoof care, according to the San Diego Humane Society.

In total, 76 horses had their teeth floated to ensure proper chewing comfort, and 83 horses received long-overdue farrier ser-

vices. Officials said many of the horses are lame and suffering from imbalances and severe cracks caused by prolonged neglect of hoof care.

The international organization Humane World for Animals has joined the response effort, deploying one team to assist with the remaining horses on the property and another to manage the daily care of cats removed from the site.

Meanwhile, a largescale relocation effort began last week to transfer seized farm animals to the Humane Farming Association’s 7,000-acre Suwanna Ranch in Elk Creek.

On May 15, two potbellied pigs, 12 goats, one sheep and three chickens were transported from the County Animal Services facility in Bonita. On Saturday, transports continued with 29 chickens, four geese, four turkeys and eight ducks. On Sunday, four donkeys, one mini mule, five mini horses and one horse departed Julian for the Northern California ranch.

Two alpacas were rerouted to the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido campus.

Since rescue efforts began May 1, more than 700 animals have been located on the property, including 446 cats, 175 horses, 30 dogs, 30 chickens, 12 goats and dozens of other animals.

Opinion & Editorial

E-bike fallout is impossible to ignore

By Dr. Walter Biffl

E-bikes are everywhere in San Diego County. And so are the consequences.

Over the past few years, my colleagues and I have watched a troubling pattern emerge in San Diego County trauma centers: young riders coming in with serious brain injuries, broken bones, and internal trauma after e-bike crashes.

These crashes have become one of the leading causes of traumatic injury among people under 18. That’s not a statistic we take lightly, as the injuries can follow someone for the rest of their life.

But I want to be clear about something: this isn’t just a children’s problem.

We’re seeing adults in their 30s, 50s and even 80s showing up after e-bike crashes — many of them experienced cyclists who underestimated just how different these machines are from a traditional bicycle.

An e-bike can reach speeds that outpace a rider’s reflexes, especially when something unexpected happens in traffic. The stopping distance is longer, the physics are different, and the consequences of getting it wrong are much more serious than falling off a beach cruiser.

mands.

One of the big points of discussion was the need to understand the basics and avoid simple mistakes. Helmet use remains inconsistent. Riders frequently lack an understanding of how drivers perceive them in traffic — how blind spots work, how long it takes a car to stop, what a driver can and cannot see at an intersection. These aren’t instincts people are born with, but they are skills they can learn. Young people shouldn’t navigate

ate riding environments. No single intervention will solve this. But better education, clearer standards for what gets sold as an e-bike, and more opportunities for young riders to develop real skills in safe environments will make a measurable difference.

If your child rides an e-bike — or is asking for one — please treat it as seriously as a motorized vehicle. Make sure they have a properly fitted helmet appropriate for the speed of the

Letters to the Editor

Political grudges veiled as comment

Iread with interest the letter in your May 8 newspaper, “Public comment rules favor the few.” The writer referred to the Oral Communications portion of the Encinitas City Council agenda, during which citizens have three minutes to raise concerns.

Sometimes those concerns involve a particular neighborhood or community, and sometimes they are citywide.

Public comments are my favorite part of the agenda because they bring a kaleidoscope of citizens’ concerns to the mayor’s and City Council members’ attention and help them do their jobs.

What public comments are not is a platform to dominate and smother the comment period with organized, vindictive verbiage. Lining up speakers ahead of time who all plan to speak on the same subject eclipses the right of others to have a voice and is not the purpose of the agenda’s Oral Communications section.

It has always been the process that a speaker be present in person to fill out a white speaker slip. Despite Theresa Beauchamp’s titled letter to the contrary, that process has not changed.

The veiled focus of Ms. Beauchamp’s letter is actually twofold: to chip away at the current mayor and council’s policies and decisions because she and her like-minded group are still upset their candidates were not elected.

What caused this flareup? In a Facebook post, Mr. Houbeck described the image of an African drum and dance group performing at the high school as “Blacks dressed in tribal gear banging on drums.” It was not a well-considered comment on his part, but it hardly rises to the level of repeatedly calling for his removal from his appointed position. In fact, Houbeck was bewildered because he felt the image did not convey

Public comments are not a platform to smother the period with organized, vindictive verbiage.

the greatness of Africans in the modern era.

Houbeck has apologized numerous times for his comments but has not connected directly with his critics.

On the other hand, Rachel Leshaw, co-founder of the West African Dance Community, says she has offered to meet with Houbeck several times and has received no response. Hmm, there seems to be a communication problem here.

From a trauma standpoint, the injuries we see most often are preventable. That’s why I was glad to see our injury prevention community outreach program coordinator at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, Paige Colburn-Hargis, participate in the e-bike safety webinar hosted by San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chair Terra Lawson-Remer on May 12.

Bringing medical professionals, community leaders, and families together to have an honest conversation about what we’re seeing — and what families can actually do about it — is exactly the kind of multi-sector response this problem de-

real traffic without them.

What makes this particularly urgent is the gap between how people think about e-bikes and what they actually are. Many riders (including parents) believe they’re dealing with a glorified bicycle. In some cases, they may actually be riding a high-powered electric motorcycle that exceeds legal limits for classification as an e-bike. When families don’t know that distinction exists, they can’t make informed decisions about training, protective gear, or appropri-

bike they are riding – I can’t overstate the importance of this. Talk with them about traffic, not just rules. And take advantage of the free safety training resources being offered across our county.

I don’t want to see you or your child in my hospital. Education, conversations, and a helmet can help ensure it.

Walter L. Biffl, M.D., is the trauma medical director at Scripps Memorial Hospital, La Jolla.

I can’t do much about some people’s political feelings toward the current officeholders, except to say that I helped incorporate this city, served as mayor and council member, and support this current team. Do I agree with every decision? No, and they hear from me — sometimes for three minutes during Oral Communications, because that is my right and my time as a citizen.

Steven Houbeck was appointed by the mayor and council to serve on the Urban Forest Committee on Feb. 18, and for the past three months, members of the Encinitas West African Dance Community and Ms. Beauchamp have repeatedly called for his resignation during public comments at nearly every meeting.

However, I think I can suggest something regarding the concern between the West African Dance Community and Houbeck. It is a creative proposal that I hope will promote education, mutual respect, understanding and a resolution of differences.

Mr. Houbeck has agreed to learn by doing and wants to take a class with the Encinitas African dance group. I contacted Rachel Leshaw, and she is willing to provide him a lesson through immersion. I want to participate, too, because I haven’t had a chance to do African dance since college, and I’m looking forward to it.

Only in Encinitas!

Coastal Commission nixes Quail Meadows appeals

State rejects wetlands impact claims at site

By Leo Place

ENCINITAS — The 448-unit Quail Meadows

Apartments project in Encinitas is moving forward after the California Coastal Commission denied a set of appeals from local groups who argued that the developer failed to properly study impacts to natural resources on-site.

Members of the state commission discussed the project on May 13, a little over a year after two community groups appealed the Encinitas City Council’s approval of the project. Proposed by developer Baldwin & Sons, Quail Meadows would bring 448 apartments, including 90 affordable units, to a 12-acre site on the east side of Quail Gardens Drive near Encinitas Boulevard.

The appellants, Encinitas Citizens for Responsible Development (ECRD) and consulting firm Hamilton Biological, argued that the developer did not sufficiently study impacts to wetlands and a stream on-site that acts as a tributary to Cottonwood Creek near Moonlight Beach, and failed to identify sensitive species on-site.

They also claimed that the project’s drainage plan relies on an unpermitted,

illegal headwall and pipes that impede the stream's natural flow.

Commission staff said the arguments raised in the appeals either did not present a substantial issue or did not fall within the commission’s jurisdiction. They reiterated that the sensitive natural resources identified are all in the northern area of the site, which will be protected from development and restored.

“This vegetation provides significant habitat value by supporting riparian-associated birds, trapping sediment, and dissipating flows. Thus, this portion of the stream has significant habitat value. In contrast, as the water course flows south, the area becomes highly disturbed and does not contain significant habitat value,” said Stephanie Leach of the commission’s San Diego Coast district office.

Staff said that because other portions of the stream are not of significant habitat value, they are not considered an appealable area to the Coastal Commission.

Leach said the only appealable area on the site is within 100 feet of the sensitive riparian habitat to the north, where the sole planned development is the slip lining of a leaking pipe.

Slip lining will involve inserting a new pipe into the existing damaged pipe, and the work will be done without disturbing the sensitive stream area, Leach said.

The appellants claimed that repairing the leaking pipe would lead to the demise of two wetland areas that have come to depend on the leak as a water source.

However, Coastal Commission Ecologist Dr. Corey Clatterbuck determined these areas are not wetlands, but riparian areas, and do

not raise a substantial issue.

Doug Carstens, an attorney representing the appellants, said the stream has habitat value throughout the site, not just the northern portion.

“The conclusion that the blue line stream was clearly documented onsite as low habitat value except in limited spots is not factually supported,” Carstens said.

Baldwin & Sons COO Nick Lee supported the commission staff’s recommendation to deny the appeals.

“The record is clear,” Lee said. “The project does not impact wetlands. There are not unresolved biological questions. It provides much-needed drainage infrastructure. There is limited work within the appeal area, just the slip lining of the pipe, and the restoration results in a net improvement to the habitat in the area.”

Regarding the headwall and pipes, Hamilton Biological argued that, because they are unpermitted, they cannot be used for the Quail Meadows project and that the developer must address this issue before the project moves forward.

Leach said the structures appear to have been at the site for decades and may have been used for on-site agricultural activities. Commission staff could not find a record of a Coastal Development Permit for these structures, but Leach said they may have been exempt from permitting at the time.

Coastal Commission Deputy Director Karl Schwing added that allegations of unpermitted structures cannot be the basis for an appeal to the entire project.

Carstens pushed back on this, saying more information is needed not only about the headwall and pipes but also about the sensitive species on-site.

“More detailed focused surveys are needed to establish actual factual evidence. In conclusion, refusing to find a substantial issue, in the face of the overwhelming evidence which has been presented to the commission, would place the commission in a legally untenable position,” Carstens said.

The Quail Meadows project has changed drastically since it was first proposed in 2022, shrinking from 485 to 448 units while

increasing the amount of affordable units from 72 to 90.

In response to community feedback, Baldwin & Sons also lowered the building height from six stories to four and added 749 parking spaces. They are also planning a new roundabout at Kristen Court to help traffic flow.

Despite these changes, some community members and groups remain opposed. In 2024, ECRD and Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (SAFER) appealed the Encinitas Planning Commission’s approval of the project, bringing it before the City Council.

At the time, the City Council reluctantly voted to deny the appeals in order to avoid lawsuits from Baldwin & Sons and the state Housing and Community Development Department.

Encinitas resident Kathryn Campbell told the commission that Quail Gardens Drive is a crucial connector between Encinitas Boulevard and Leucadia Boulevard and that it is being affected by several other housing developments in the area. She also shared concerns about emergency vehicles' ability to access the narrow road, in addition to the increased traffic.

“No emergency vehicles will be able to come and get my family out of this. Our neighborhoods are one street in, one street out,” she said.

The Dire Need for A Wisdom Society

PART ONE OF EIGHT

Knowledge Is Not Wisdom

By Dietmar E. Rothe

From the book Evolving With the Infinite

Why does humanity possess more knowledge than ever before, yet struggle to create a peaceful, balanced, and sustainable world?

In Evolving With the Infinite, Dietmar Rothe argues that knowledge alone is not enough. Wisdom, consciousness, and inner development must evolve alongside technological progress if humanity hopes to move toward a more meaningful future.

THE CRISIS OF MODERN CIVILIZATION

We live in a time when humanity knows more than ever before in its entire history. Schools, colleges, universities, seminars, books, magazines, radio, television, the Internet, and countless modern technologies place an enormous amount of information at our fingertips.

Yet despite this explosion of knowledge, humanity remains deeply troubled.

Wars continue. Violence persists. Depression, anxiety, greed, corruption, loneliness, and environmental destruction continue spreading across the world. Our scientific achievements have advanced rapidly, yet wisdom itself appears far slower to evolve.

Knowledge has given humanity tremendous power, but power without wisdom can become dangerous.

This imbalance forms one of the defining crises of modern civilization.

KNOWLEDGE VERSUS WISDOM

Knowledge and wisdom are not the same.

Knowledge gathers information. Wisdom understands meaning.

Knowledge can measure, calculate, analyze, and categorize. Wisdom asks deeper questions concerning purpose, harmony, morality, and the long-term consequences of human behavior.

A person may possess tremendous intelligence while still lacking wisdom. Entire civilizations may become technologically advanced while remaining emotionally, spiritually, or ethically immature.

Humanity’s current condition reflects this imbalance.

The world increasingly rewards speed, productivity, consumption, and technological advancement, while neglecting introspection, compassion, self-awareness, and deeper understanding.

Wisdom cannot simply be memorized or downloaded like information. It must emerge gradually through experience, reflection, consciousness, and inner development.

THE MISSING DIMENSION OF HUMAN PROGRESS

Modern civilization often assumes progress is primarily technological.

But technological advancement alone does not guarantee human fulfillment.

Throughout history, civilizations possessing great knowledge have still collapsed under the weight of greed, violence, ego, division, and spiritual emptiness.

Human beings continue searching for meaning because knowledge alone cannot satisfy the deeper needs of the human spirit.

Without wisdom, technological progress may accelerate humanity’s problems rather than solve them.

The future therefore depends not only upon scientific innovation, but upon humanity’s willingness to cultivate consciousness, understanding, responsibility, and compassion.

TOWARD A WISDOM SOCIETY

A wisdom-centered society would measure success differently.

Rather than valuing only wealth, competition, productivity, or technological dominance, it would place greater emphasis on:

• Inner development,

• Harmony with nature,

• Compassion,

• Self-awareness,

• Truth, and responsible stewardship of life.

Such a transformation cannot occur through politics or technology alone.

It begins within individuals.

Humanity’s future may ultimately depend upon whether consciousness itself can evolve quickly enough to responsibly manage the power civilization now possesses.

Knowledge may be power, but wisdom makes life meaningful. “ “

REFLECTION

Think about the role knowledge plays in your own life. Does it bring deeper understanding and peace? Or does modern life often leave us feeling more overwhelmed, distracted, and disconnected?

A philosophical exploration of humanity’s connection to the cosmos and the search for wisdom in a deeply divided world. ABOUT

Solana Beach revises ADU law

By Leo Place SOLANA BEACH

— The Solana Beach City Council updated the city’s ordinance regulating accessory dwelling units to incorporate changes under 14 recent state laws, ranging from cleanup items to major changes.

The most significant update to the ordinance comes from Government Code 66323, which discusses the ability to add specifically converted ADUs, referring to spaces such as garages, sheds, attics, or basements that are then turned into permitted ADUs as opposed to newly-constructed units.

Government Code 66323 allows single-family lots to have one converted junior ADU within the walls of the primary residence, one converted ADU, and one detached ADU for a total of three ADUs.

State law previously allowed a single-family lot to contain one converted junior ADU and one detached ADU, in addition to the primary dwelling.

On May 6, Solana Beach leaders moved to, in the words of City Councilmember Dave Zito, “begrudgingly” adopt the new regulations. Council members noted that they are required to implement them to abide by the law.

“It’s annoying when the state gets so anal and in our way. This is going to make life complicated,” Zito said.

The new ordinance incorporates language from several state bills between 2019 and 2026, including: Senate Bill 13, SB 897, Assembly Bill 68, AB 345, AB 881, AB 2221, AB 3182, AB 976, SB 477, AB 130, AB 462, AB 1154, SB 9, and SB 543.

These laws updated regulations related to setbacks, owner occupancy in junior ADUs (defined as those measuring no more than 500 square feet), impact fees, and ADUs in multifamily developments.

In accordance with these laws, the ordinance now states that ADUs are permitted ministerially in accordance with adopted development standards; that ADUs may be permitted on properties with multifamily dwellings; and that impact fees, which are charged on new developments to cover the cost of additional impacts on lo-

Boaters call for harbor life rings

O’side effort follows several deaths, rescues

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —

Members of a local boating club are urging the city to install life rings around the harbor and piers after several life-threatening incidents in local coastal waters over the past six months raised concerns about public safety.

and commercial maritime workplaces.

Other jurisdictions across the country have also implemented life ring programs, including North Carolina state parks and a growing number of beaches in Florida.

Harbor safety

Goit also emphasized the importance of improving boater safety, particularly near the harbor entrance.

cal infrastructure, cannot be imposed on ADUs that measure 750 square feet or less.

Impact fees must also be calculated based solely on the interior floor space of the ADU, according to state law.

In addition, AB 1154 now states that junior ADUs need not be owner-occupied if they have their own bathroom. Cities could previously limit occupancy of all junior ADUs to the legal owner of the primary dwelling.

The ordinance also recognizes that local laws cannot prevent the permitting of an 800-square-foot ADU with four-foot side and rear setbacks.

While ADU laws are intended to facilitate the creation of more housing, Solana Beach leaders said the state has taken away the tools that allowed cities to build affordable ADUs.

Solana Beach used to offer incentives, such as additional square footage, if applicants agreed to deed-restrict their ADU as affordable. However, these incentives became moot under new state laws that removed even more restrictions on ADU production.

“The purpose of all this is supposedly to solve our affordable housing crisis, yet none of their laws mandate affordability, and they've taken away any of the incentives that we might have offered in order to get an affordability deed restriction,” said Mayor Lesa Heebner.

Solana Beach is relying heavily on ADUs to help meet its 6th Cycle Housing Element obligations and has implemented various programs to help facilitate their production.

As a result, the city is well ahead of schedule in generating ADUs, having permitted around 80% of the total units required by the end of the 6th cycle in 2029. However, the city still has a long way to go toward meeting the required number of affordable units in its Housing Element.

“Even with the number of ADUs 30% higher than what were anticipated by [Housing and Community Development] in cycle six, the city is still at risk of midcycle punishment by HCD, which is just unfortunate,” City Councilmember Jewel Edson said.

Dr. Nigel Woolf, an emeritus professor in the Department of Surgery at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and a longtime Oceanside Harbor stakeholder, first proposed the idea to the city in late March following a cluster of near-drowning incidents in Oceanside waters.

Woolf developed a pilot project plan to install several life rings and sent a letter to the city calling for action after a series of emergencies over the past six months.

Drowning

Woolf first contacted the city after a father and daughter were caught in a rip current near the harbor’s south jetty in late March. A nearby surf coach jumped into the water and rescued them, but others have not been as fortunate.

Just days later, a man drowned near the Oceanside Pier during the early morning hours.

Earlier in March, a local surfer was credited with rescuing a man who jumped from the pier into the ocean one evening.

In January, Oceanside Lifeguards rescued two people from an overturned 15foot vessel near the harbor entrance. In November, a 12-year-old junior lifeguard helped rescue a group of five people after their boat capsized near the harbor.

According to Woolf, Oeanside has seen more than 27 drownings and major water rescues over the past decade.

Even Woolf, who previously kept a boat in the harbor, has participated in a rescue after spotting a distressed surfer. Many fellow boaters have had similar experiences.

“Oceanside has an urgent drowning problem,” he said.

Life rings

The proposed Oceanside PIER Pilot Project would install at least five U.S. Coast Guard-approved 30-inch life rings equipped with a minimum of 90 feet of floating rescue line along the harbor’s north and south jetties. The rings would be stored in weatherproof cases accessible to bystanders during emergencies.

“All someone has to do is open, grab the ring, pull the line, throw it in the water and save them,” Woolf said.

After use, the life rings could be returned to their cases for future emergencies.

Woolf also developed a cost-effective funding mod-

el for the project. Rather than having the city purchase the rings — which cost about $850 each — individuals or community groups could sponsor them, similar to memorial benches installed in city parks with dedication plaques honoring loved ones.

Woolf has already pledged to personally fund one of the rings and has identified two additional supporters willing to sponsor others.

The rings would be installed approximately 200 feet apart.

Shawn Goit, commander of America’s Boating Club Oceanside, endorsed the proposal. Woolf is also a member of the organization.

Goit said volunteers from the boating club would help monitor the life rings during the pilot phase to prevent vandalism or damage.

If the project proves successful, Woolf said the city should ultimately install at least 25 life rings throughout the harbor area, Oceanside Pier and surrounding beaches.

Woolf and Goit presented the pilot project to the City Council on May 6. City Manager Jonathan Borrego confirmed that the city is reviewing the proposal and added that the city engineer and fire chief are also involved in the evaluation.

“We’ll take a look at the options and report back to council probably via memo within the next two or three weeks at most with some recommendations on how we may proceed and if it is a viable program for us,” Borrego said during the meeting.

Terry Gorman Brown, a senior management analyst with the city, later clarified that the memo could take between 30 to 60 days to return to City Council as they continue to determine its feasibility.

Brown also said staff

wouldn't characterize the city as having a unique "drowning problem."

"Water incidents are a serious and ongoing challenge for every coastal community with active rip currents, jetties, and piers," Brown said via email. "What we can say is that any water emergency is one too many, and that's why we're taking steps like exploring the life ring station program."

City lifeguards also confirmed with Brown that the number of incidents that have happened so far this year is consistent with prior years. Meanwhile, the city continues to see growth in its number of visitors on its beaches.

"Perception can sometimes reflect greater public awareness or media attention rather than a true uptick in numbers," Brown explained. "Oceanside’s lifeguard team is outstanding, and we’re always looking for additional tools and infrastructure to make our beaches, pier, and harbor as safe as possible."

Woolf and Goit are also advocating for broader statewide action.

“We’re going for a law,” Goit said. “Illinois, Indiana and Washington already have public life ring mandates. California doesn't. Oceanside can change that.”

Currently, Illinois and Indiana have laws requiring life rings at public beaches along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Washington state mandates life rings in designated drowning-risk areas such as docks, walkways

According to Goit, three overlapping hazards make the harbor one of the most difficult entry points for recreational boaters in Southern California: sand buildup at the harbor mouth, rough surf conditions and inexperienced operators.

"This is not just a sandbar problem," Goit said. "The sand creates a narrower channel. The surf then hits differently in that channel. An untrained operator doesn't know how to adjust for any of that – and our camera has recorded what happens when they don’t.”

America’s Boating Club Oceanside operates a harbor webcam that livestreams to YouTube from the roof of the Oceanside Yacht Club. The camera has captured multiple boating accidents, including several incidents in recent months.

The club also offers an on-water training program designed to help boaters navigate the harbor safely. During the course, certified volunteer instructors board participants’ vessels to provide hands-on training in harbor entry and exit procedures, reading tidal and surf conditions, navigating shallow-water channels and emergency response. The program is open to the public, and membership is not required. Enrollment costs $285 for non-members and $185 for members, with scholarship funding available through state grants on a case-by-case basis.

Upcoming training sessions are scheduled for July 11, Aug. 8 and Sept. 12. Registration is available at usps. org/oceanside.

Fallbrook Chamber

CHATTER

Honoring Fallbrook’s ‘Tree Man’

At its First Monday Coffee gathering on May 4, the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce proudly honored longtime resident Roger Boddaert for his extraordinary contributions to preserving the natural beauty and rural character of Fallbrook.

Known affectionately throughout the community as “The Tree Man,” Boddaert has spent nearly five decades helping shape and protect the landscape that has earned Fallbrook its reputation as “The Friendly Village.” Through his tireless advocacy, education and hands-on volunteer work, he has played a central role in planting and preserving thousands of trees across the community.

The Chamber recognized Boddaert for helping plant more than 3,000 trees throughout Fallbrook over the years — a remarkable legacy that continues to benefit residents and visitors alike. His efforts have not only beautified local neighborhoods, parks and public spaces, but also strengthened Fallbrook’s identity as one of Southern California’s most unique and environmentally conscious communities.

Boddaert’s passion for conservation also helped inspire the creation of Save Our Forest, a dedicated branch of the Fallbrook Land Conservancy focused on protecting and expanding the community’s tree canopy. The organization continues to carry out regular volunteer work parties twice each month, planting new trees, maintaining

Home prices hit record high

By City News Service

SAN DIEGO — California’s median home price reached a record high last month while sales also increased, the California Association of Realtors said Wednesday.

The median price of an existing single-family home in California was $914,810 in April, up from $889,190 in March. Sales totaled 275,580 in April on a seasonally adjusted basis, up 3.9% from March and 4.1% from April 2025.

CAR said the numbers were fueled by lower mortgage rates early in the month and strong market activity in higher-priced segments.

“April’s year-over-year increase in home sales is a welcome sign that buyer demand remains resilient

as we move deeper into the spring homebuying season,” CAR President Tamara Suminski, a Southern California broker and Realtor, said in a statement. “While elevated mortgage rates and ongoing uncertainty in the Middle East continue to weigh on the market, California buyers and sellers are still finding opportunities, and that speaks to the underlying strength of housing demand.”

Prices also rose in San Diego County in April, with the county’s median price increasing to $1.074 million from $1.05 million in March and from $1.015 million in April 2025.

Sales in San Diego County were up 14.8% from March but down 0.5% from one year ago.

Homes priced at or above $2 million experienced the largest sales jump, increasing 8.4% from April 2025, CAR said.

“The increase in the median price was driven in large part by the composition of sales, with a greater share of activity occurring in higher-priced segments of the market,” CAR Senior Vice President and Chief Economist Jordan Levine said in a statement.

The county with the highest median home price in California in April was Mono County at $2.55 million, followed by San Mateo County at $2.3 million.

The lowest median price was in Lassen County at $285,000, which was 31.9% higher than the previous month.

existing ones and caring for the natural environment that makes Fallbrook so special.

According to local conservation leaders, Boddaert’s influence extends far beyond the trees themselves. His work helped foster a culture of stewardship and volunteerism that continues to inspire residents of all ages to take an active role in protecting the community’s rural charm and open spaces.

Fallbrook’s tree canopy has long been viewed as an important part of the town’s identity. In addition to providing shade and scenic beauty, trees contribute to cleaner air, cooler temperatures, wildlife habitat and improved quality of life for residents. Community groups like Save Our Forest and the Fallbrook Land Conservancy continue to emphasize the importance of preserving these natural assets for future generations.

Roger and his wife will soon divide their time between Sweden and Arizona, where they will be closer to family, including their daughter. While the community will miss his presence and leadership, Chamber members and local volunteers say his impact on Fallbrook will endure for generations to come.

O’side mourns ex-mayor

By City News Service

OCEANSIDE —

The city of Oceanside is mourning the loss of former Mayor James “Jim” Wood, who served the city for more than four decades and died Saturday at age 78.

“Jim Wood was a dedicated public servant in every sense of the word,” Mayor Esther Sanchez said. “He left a lasting legacy of prioritizing public safety, fighting crime and protecting our seniors.

“Jim had a great way of making everyone feel like an old friend. His quick wit and humor broke down barriers, and people were drawn to him from the moment they met. He was a wonderful person, phenomenal mayor and a great friend. We are grateful for every year he dedicated this city. He will be deeply missed.”

Wood’s family moved to Oceanside in 1955. He joined the Oceanside Police Department in 1971, serving more than 31 years as an investigator in some of the department’s “most demanding assignments,” including homicide, narcotics, and crimes against children and seniors, according to a city statement.

The city said Wood also collaborated with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Secret Service and Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

Wood was elected to the Oceanside City Council in 2002 and became mayor in 2004, a position he held for more than 13 years. In 2017, Wood suffered a stroke and later resigned from the mayor’s office after attempting to return.

“It has been such an honor to serve the city that I have lived in for over 65 years, as a police officer, a council member and mayor,” Wood wrote at the time of his resignation. “I will truly miss the daily interaction with both staff and the community.”

In 2022, the city renamed Rancho Del Oro Park as Jim Wood Community Park during a ceremony attended by Wood, his wife of 48 years, Pam, and other family members.

Julian students embrace quilting tradition

By Samantha Nelson JULIAN

— At a time when many teenagers are glued to their phones, several students have broken their screen-time habits to learn the time-honored craft of quilting from a local legend in the art.

For the past school year, a group of students from Julian Union High School met with Eleanor Burns, a master quilter, in a studio at her home in Julian, where she frequently leads quilting lessons. The students were allowed to leave school for a few hours twice a month to learn from Burns, provided they maintained their grades.

This is the second year Burns has led a group of Julian students through a quilting class. She was originally asked to take on the task when a teacher at a Julian Women’s Club meeting expressed frustration about students constantly using their phones and instead wanted them to learn a craft like quilting.

Now 80 years old, Burns has been teaching quilting for 50 years. She previously hosted “Quilt in a Day,” a television series that aired on PBS for six seasons. The show was based on her book, “Make a Quilt in a Day,” one of more than 140 books she has authored over the years. She also hosted “Women Who Taught Us to Sew” on PBS, which highlighted in-

MOSQUE CONTINUED FROM FRONT

best we can tell with the video surveillance at the mosque, drew the attention of both of these suspects back out into the parking-lot area, where they were unfortunately unable to flee, and both suspects were able to successfully corner them and kill both of them while both suspects were outside,” Wahl said during the news conference at downtown SDPD headquarters. “The massive police response that was seconds away undoubtedly pushed both of the suspects to run back to their vehicle and flee the parking lot. And I want to be very clear — all three of our victims did not die in vain. Without distracting the attention, without delaying the actions of these two individuals, without question there otherwise would have been many more fatalities yesterday.”

The deadly gunfire erupted at about 11:40 a.m. Monday, according to police. Officers arrived within four minutes to find Abdullah, Awad and Kaziha dead outside the mosque.

A man who lives near the mosque told CBS8 that he heard two bursts of gunfire, possibly as many as 30 shots in all, sounding like high-caliber ammunition discharging.

The shooting led to a massive police deployment in the busy mid-city neighborhood, along with evacuations of the mosque and its educational facility for young children, road closures in the area and lockdowns at nearby public schools.

Her young students gathered one last time this school year at Burns’ home on May 5. It was a chilly, rainy morning in the Cuyamaca Mountains, setting the tone for a cozy morning spent indoors among the patterns lining the studio.

During their time with Burns, the students learned to love the craft and take

As those operations were getting underway, police received reports of another shooting in the area, this one on Salerno Street, just south of the Islamic center.

“There was a landscaper that was doing his work and was shot at, and fortunately was not hit,” Wahl said Monday.

Not long after the second shooting was reported, officers were called to another nearby location. There, in the 3800 block of Hatton Street, a vehicle was stopped in the roadway, and inside it were the bodies of the suspected perpetrators of the shooting spree. They are believed to have died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds, Wahl said.

Authorities have yet to release the suspects’ names, but media outlets identified them as 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Velasquez, both of San Diego.

Clark, a former wrestler at Madison High School, had been reported as a runaway about two hours before the mosque shooting occurred.

“SDPD pieced together bits of information from the juvenile’s mother,” a department statement asserted. “She believed her son was suicidal and shared information that several of her weapons were missing, along with her vehicle. She also stated that he was with a companion, who was dressed in camouflage.”

pride in their work, creating everything from quilts to soup-bowl cozies and “mug rugs” for coffee cups, which they then gifted to family members.

“It’s really been fun to teach them how to sew and praise them and work with them,” Burns said.

Burns enjoyed seeing the pride the students took in their completed projects and watching their love for the art grow.

“At least three of them

have bought their own sewing machine,” she said.

Julian High School sophomore Lily Betts returned to Burns’ class for a second consecutive year because of how much she enjoyed it.

“I’ve always kind of liked quilting,” she said, noting her grandmothers had been quilting long before her.

Betts also grew up learning from Burns by watching her PBS shows as a little girl.

near Fashion Valley Mall in the morning, but officers dispatched to the area did not locate the car or the suspects. Mark Remily, special agent in charge of the FBI in San Diego, said Tuesday the two suspects “appear to have been radicalized online,” though he did not provide specifics about the pair’s ideology, which was outlined in a “manifesto” recovered by investigators. He declined to discuss what was in the document, but said the pair “did not discriminate on who they hate.”

Betts considers quilting an art form.

“It’s a way to learn how to sew and express creativity if you want to try a new medium,” she said, adding that quilting can be therapeutic as well. “You’re doing a repetitive action over and over again. It just clears your mind.”

Betts has been proud of the work she has created in Burns’ workshop, gifting most of her creations to her grandmother and father.

While the students worked on their own individual projects, they also contributed pieces to a single quilt that will be gifted to another teenager in need through Project Linus, an organization that provides handmade blankets to children up to 18 years old in the United States who are seriously ill, traumatized or otherwise in need.

According to Burns, the students were happy to create something that could comfort someone in need.

Teaching quilting to younger generations may help keep the ancient tradition — which can be traced back thousands of years across the world — alive for generations to come.

For Burns, quilting has been a lifelong passion she is thrilled to share with others.

“This is our hobby, this is our love, this gives us peace,” she said. “We share with everybody.”

Remily said multiple search warrants were served at locations connected to the suspects, and as of Tuesday morning, investigators had seized more than 30 weapons, a crossbow, ammunition, tactical gear and electronic equipment.

Election 2026

Escondido races taking shape

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDIO — Vot-

ers will decide on three council seats during the November election, including the mayor’s position and seats representing Districts 1 and 2.

Councilmember Consuelo Martinez has decided not to seek reelection in District 1. Martinez was first elected to the seat in 2018 and reelected in 2022.

“Serving Escondido has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” Martinez said in a statement. “Together, we have fought for equity, lifted up our neighborhoods, protected our families, and worked to create a city where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.”

District 1

Martinez’s decision to step aside means District 1 voters will have a new representative after Dec. 9.

According to City Clerk Zack Beck, three other candidates have submitted intentions to run for District 1 as of publication: Tanner Horsley, Alisa Nicholson Rice and Vanessa Valenzuela. The filing deadline for candidates remains open.

Horsley is a Marine Corps veteran who enlisted in 2006 and later worked at Qualcomm and for the Department of Defense.

Horsley said he decided to run after watching issues such as homelessness, crime and the cost of living worsen during his time living in Escondido.

“I believe in service to the country and community and want to take my experience and put it to work on behalf of the working families of Escondido and solve these difficult challenges,” Horsley said via email.

Horsley’s priorities include public safety, homelessness and affordability. He said he supports smart growth to provide more housing opportunities and

lower costs for local families.

Valenzuela, a lifelong Escondido resident, said she is running because she believes the current council majority is “out of touch with the community and out of step with the region.”

“Escondido deserves leadership who will work for progress in the city and advocate for residents,” she said via email.

Valenzuela has nearly 20 years of financial experience and currently works as finance director for the nonprofit I Love A Clean San Diego.

Housing is Valenzuela’s top priority.

“Housing is a leading pressing issue affecting all residents, directly or indirectly,” she said, noting the issue is particularly critical in District 1.

The third candidate, Alisa Nicholson Rice, did not respond to a request for comment..

District 2

In District 2, incumbent Deputy Mayor Joe Garcia is seeking reelection against one challenger so far: Anthony DiMartino.

Garcia was first elected to represent District 3 in 2020, but his residence was moved into District 2 following census redistricting. He was reelected in 2022.

Garcia has served as a church pastor for more than 30 years and is also a member of the Escondido Rotary Club, the Escondido Police Chief’s Faith Council and vice chair of the Escondido Planning Commission.

Garcia did not respond to The Coast News’ request for comment. According to his website, he “has a proven record of bipartisan leadership” and “believes in bridging differences to achieve results.”

His priorities include public safety, easing the cost of living and infrastructure improvements.

DiMartino, a lifelong North County resident, said he wants to give back to his hometown through public service.

DiMartino said he became motivated to run after the City Council declined to revisit a contract allowing ICE officers to train at a police-owned firing range.

He holds a master’s degree in social welfare from UCLA and has worked in local and state government for 15 years, including as legislative director for Assemblymember Shirley Weber.

He currently directs the government affairs team for Californians for Safety and Justice.

DiMartino’s priorities include community safety, homelessness and housing affordability, support for small businesses, infrastructure, tourism, and government transparency and accountability.

Mayor

Mayor Dane White is seeking reelection after serving his first term in office. According to his website, White is a fifth-generation Escondido resident and owner of WhiteWerks Flooring LLC.

White was first elected mayor in 2022 and previously served on the Escondido Union High School District board.

Homelessness is among White’s top priorities. As a young man, he struggled with addiction and experienced homelessness.

“Now, as mayor, I have used those experiences to bring forward policies that help others who are like me,” his website states.

During his tenure, the city cleared out “The Jungle,” a decades-old encampment in Escondido Creek, and enacted ordinances banning encampments near schools, parks and waterways and prohibiting people from living in RVs on public roads.

Jenkins,

Sannella seek mayor’s seat

By Leo Place SAN MARCOS —

Three seats are up for election on the San Marcos City Council this year — the mayor’s seat held by Rebecca Jones, the District 1 seat held by Councilmember Maria Nuñez, and the District 2 seat held by Deputy Mayor Mike Sannella.

Several candidates have filed intention statements with the City Clerk’s Office.

Sannella and former City Council member Sharon Jenkins are both running for the mayor’s seat, while Jones is running for the District 5 seat on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

ence. She is also focused on maintaining local control over development.

“I am pro-smart growth. To me, that looks like housing and small business growth that complements what our community needs; it has adequate parking; it has some good amenities for the residents and the community, and upholds the high quality of life that people in SM come to expect from living here,” she said.

White’s other priorities include public safety, affordability, support for small businesses, and roads and infrastructure.

Elias Velazquez is challenging White after watching the city move “in the wrong direction” on homelessness and other issues.

“As someone who works in nonprofit leadership focused on homelessness in North County, I’ve seen firsthand how other cities successfully partner with local service providers to produce better outcomes,” he said via email.

Velazquez is a lifelong Escondido resident who currently works as information director and volunteer coordinator for the Brother Benno Foundation in Oceanside.

Homelessness is his top priority. If elected mayor, Velazquez said he would work to make Escondido eligible for additional state and federal funding, pursue long-term solutions and support law enforcement officers handling homelessness-related public safety concerns.

Like District 2 candidate DiMartino, Velazquez opposed the city’s contract with ICE. White was among the council majority that declined to revisit the contract in February.

“Our council completely fumbled this issue and their lack of leadership let fear take over the conversation,” Velazquez said. “After five hours of public comment, with most speakers opposing the contract, the council declined to even hold a vote.”

Velazquez said traffic is another top issue and pledged to pursue solutions addressing congestion, unsafe intersections and speeding.

The candidate filing period remains open for the Nov. 3 election. The list of Escondido council candidates could change in coming weeks.

Lindsey Smith and Justin Matsushita are running for the District 2 seat.

Sannella was first elected to the City Council in 2022 and previously served on the Vallecitos Water District Board. He said he is focused on maintaining San Marcos’ status as one of the safest cities in the county and continuing the progress made on local infrastructure.

He said he is also focused on the city’s upcoming project to rebuild San Marcos Boulevard to improve traffic flow.

Outside of road repairs, he said he would also like to see the larger area of San Marcos Boulevard be redefined as a walkable arts and entertainment district, so that more people spend their dollars in the city.

“That’s an area where I think everyone in San Marcos should be able to go out and have fun and make memories. I think there’s a great opportunity there,” Sannella said.

Jenkins is running for mayor after serving on the City Council, representing District 3 for 12 years, and was termed out of her seat in 2024. Prior to the council, she served 14 years on the San Marcos Unified School Board.

“As our city continues to grow and face new opportunities and challenges, I believe San Marcos deserves experienced, steady leadership,” Jenkins previously told The Coast News.

“I’m running for mayor to ensure we continue to build a safe and strong San Marcos.”

Smith is the president of the San Elijo Hills HOA and the San Elijo Hills Fire Safe Council, and is a San Marcos Planning Commissioner. She has a background in facilities and construction management.

She said her top priority for the city is to maintain a strong public safety pres-

Matsushita is the former Santee Fire Chief, retiring from the role last year, and now leads the new Public Safety Management bachelor’s program at Miramar College. He also serves on the city’s Measure Q Oversight Committee.

He said his top priorities as a council member would be updating the city’s General Plan and ensuring Measure Q funds are spent wisely.

“I’m a little bit more poised than most. I understand where my lane will be,” he said. “It’s very valuable to have that perspective.”

Nuñez confirmed she is running for re-election to her District 1 seat representing the area of Richmar. So far, she is running unopposed. She was first elected to the council in 2018 and is seeking a third term.

Nuñez highlighted her experience as an attorney and community advocate, as well as her seven years of service on the council. She said she will continue advocating for housing affordability, community safety, infrastructure, and economic opportunity, civic participation and equity.

“Many working families who live in District 1 face grave challenges, including housing and food insecurity and are struggling with economic pressures. I hope to continue improving the lives of our residents, especially the most vulnerable community members, and businesses who remain disproportionately under-served and under-resourced,” Nuñez said.

Election 2026

Ex-Vista council member seeks mayor’s seat

By Leo Place VISTA

— The seats for mayor and City Council members in districts 1 and 4 will appear on the Vista ballot this year.

Mayor John Franklin is running for the District 5 seat on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. Running for mayor are former City Councilmember Joe Green and resident Kenneth Zuniga.

The candidate filings are preliminary and come ahead of the city’s official nomination period, which runs from July 13 through Aug. 7. Candidates must submit nomination papers during that window to officially qualify for the Novem-

ber ballot. Green served on the City Council from 2016 to 2024 representing District 2 and works as a real estate broker at Green Team Realty. He previously ran for mayor in 2018.

He said his priorities include public safety, infrastructure, business development, affordable housing, smart growth and strengthening community events and spaces. He also said he wants to promote unity among elected officials.

“I’ve always wanted to really represent my city as a whole,” Green previously told The Coast News. “I don’t like that the national politics have crept their way

Blackburn vies for second term

By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD

— This November, Carlsbad residents will elect candidates for mayor, City Council districts 1 and 3, treasurer and city clerk.

Ahead of the official nomination period which runs from July 13 to Aug. 7, three candidates have filed to run for mayor, according to the city: incumbent Mayor Keith Blackburn and challengers Eric Nixon and Skar.

Incumbent Councilmember Melanie Burkholder and Jennifer Kerwin have filed to run for the District 1 seat. Mayor Pro Tem Priya Bhat-Patel has filed for reelection in District 3.

Incumbent City Clerk Sherry Freisinger and City Treasurer Christian Peacox have also filed.

Blackburn was first elected to the City Council in 2008 and won the mayor’s seat in 2022. A longtime police officer and real estate professional, he highlighted traffic improvements, environmental projects and revitalization efforts in Carlsbad Village as priorities.

“As your mayor, I want to continue to support the revitalization of Carlsbad Village, as well as preserve open space and maintain our beaches for the enjoyment of future generations,” Blackburn wrote.

“I will continue to use my business experience and public service background to maintain Carlsbad’s financial strength and security.” Nixon has worked in public health and emergency response, including as an emergency medical technician. He said he would prioritize community partnerships, quality of life, public safety and smart growth.

“Carlsbad is an incredible city, but it’s at a turning point,” Nixon wrote. “I’m not a career politician. I am someone who’s been

into the council chambers … I see those dynamics, and I feel like there’s so much friction and tension that there’s not as much business being done.”

Zuniga is a production photographer and graphic designer who serves on the city’s Homelessness Commission.

He said he would focus on affordable housing, road repair and bike and pedestrian connectivity, supporting local businesses and labor, increasing green spaces, addressing homelessness, and promoting Vista as a destination city.

“I’m running because Vista’s working families deserve a mayor who fights for

them. Not for the well-connected. Not for special interests. For us,” Zuniga said.

District 1 City Councilmember Corinna Contreras is running for the 48th Congressional District seat.

Frank Nuñez and Yolanda Kenniston-Alvarez have both filed to run for the seat.

Nuñez is a Vista resident, small business owner and member of the Vista Irrigation District Board who previously ran for the Vista Unified School District board in 2024.

He said his priorities include supporting law enforcement, addressing homelessness, investing in parks and roads, responsible budgeting, and increas-

ing housing opportunities.

“I love Vista, but I also know we can do better as a community,” Nuñez said. “As your voice on the Vista City Council, I will fight to keep our neighborhoods safe, repair and maintain our roads, upgrade our parks, support small businesses, and make Vista a more affordable place to live, work, and raise a family.”

Kenniston-Alvarez has not shared a campaign website and did not respond to questions from The Coast News. On social media, she said she wants to ensure all residents are heard and improve communication with underserved communities.

She also said she wants to address high-speed traffic and neglected properties in neighborhoods to improve safety and protect property values.

District 4 City Councilmember Dan O’Donnell is running for re-election to a second term. No other candidates have filed to run for the seat as of publication.

O’Donnell, who currently serves as deputy mayor, highlighted accomplishments from his first term including adding deputies and EMTs, supporting road and infrastructure improvements, and helping secure practice fields for Vista Little League and Vista Unified School District.

in the community, solving real problems, working with real people ... and I am ready to lead.”

Skar, listed by legal name on the application form, could not be identified by The Coast News.

Burkholder, running for the District 1 seat, is a licensed mental health counselor and former Secret Service special agent. She emphasized public safety, mental health, homelessness and economic growth as key issues.

“I have been effective in listening to the needs of residents and implementing policy to address those needs,” Burkholder said.

“People want consistent representation from someone who is invested in the community.”

Kerwin, also running for District 1, previously worked in commercial real estate and has served on several school district committees and parent-teacher organizations in Carlsbad. She said she would focus on responsible growth, environmental stewardship and neighborhood safety.

“Carlsbad is a special community, and thoughtful leadership is essential as we plan for the future,” Kerwin wrote. “I’m running because I believe residents deserve a voice in the decisions shaping our city.”

Bhat-Patel, running for reelection in District 3, is a public health professional with a doctorate in public health from Loma Linda University. She highlighted housing, economic development, sustainability and transparency as priorities.

“Having grown up in the district, Priya knows how expensive it can be to live here and how out of reach it can seem,” her campaign website said. “Priya recognizes how important it is to not lose local residents who have contributed to the community and local economy by being priced out.”

Mayor race forms early

District 3 race draws two so far; Lefkowits in D4

By Cameron Adams

ENCINITAS — Encinitas city government will have three seats up for grabs in November: mayor and City Council districts 3 and 4.

The city’s official nomination period runs from July 13 through Aug. 7. Candidates must submit nomination papers during that window to officially qualify for the November ballot.

Mayor

In an early look at the races, incumbent Mayor Bruce Ehlers and challenger Rimga Viskanta, a trustee on the San Dieguito Union High School District board of trustees, have filed to run for mayor in the upcoming election as of publication, according to the city clerk.

Ehlers grew up in a Chicago suburb before studying engineering at Purdue University. He has lived in Encinitas for more than 40 years and currently resides in Olivenhain.

After serving approximately seven years on the Encinitas Planning Commission, he was elected mayor in 2024, defeating incumbent Tony Kranz on a campaign focused on local control over development,

infrastructure improvements and strengthening public safety.

During his first term as mayor, Ehlers has highlighted infrastructure improvements, public safety and operational reforms as key accomplishments. In his April State of the City address, he pointed to accelerated road paving efforts, flood mitigation work in Leucadia and reductions in several categories of crime as evidence that the city is “getting stuff done.”

Ehlers also cited efforts to improve traffic safety through lowered speed limits and increased enforcement, along with coastal preservation projects, wildfire preparedness coordination and reforms to the city’s permitting system. He said the city paved 15 miles of roadway in 2025 and planned to complete another 18 miles by the summer.

Ehlers was not immediately available for comment on Monday.

Viskanta, a resident of Old Encinitas, has served on the SDUHSD board since 2022. She previously served on the Encinitas Union School District board from 2016 to 2020.

She said that, as mayor, she would focus on safer streets, traffic, housing solutions, addressing homelessness from a regional perspective and climate resilience. Viskanta said her policies would be informed

by a range of voices from the community and that she did not want to make campaign promises too early.

“The thing compelling me to run is the online climate that is so divisive, but when I meet people face to face, it always feels cordial and like we have more common ground than we realized,” Viskanta said. “I want my campaign to be about bringing together different voices, versus me coming in saying, ‘Here’s precisely what I think is the solution.’”

District 3

Arielle Golden and Ed Sprague have filed to represent District 3.

Golden holds a master of business administration degree from UC San Diego and has worked in food systems and community organizing. She has served as chair of the North County Food Policy Council, which brings together public, private and nonprofit entities to improve regional food systems. Golden has also represented North County San Diego on the state’s Food Policy Council.

Golden told The Coast News that she would prioritize mobility for residents of all ages and all types of road users in development. She added that climate resilience is also a focus and that she would work collaboratively with the state and

DEL MAR & SOLANA BEACH

By Leo Place

REGION — Seats on the Solana Beach and Del Mar city councils will be up for election this November, though the official nomination period does not begin until July 13.

In Solana Beach, the District 2 and District 4 seats will appear on the ballot. District 2 Councilmember Kristi Becker confirmed she will seek a third term, while District 4 Councilmember Jill MacDonald said she will not run again.

Becker, first elected in 2018, said her priorities include maintaining local control over housing and preserving neighborhood character amid state development mandates.

Becker said she supports affordable housing projects that are compatible with the city and existing infrastructure.

In Del Mar, voters will choose two at-large City Council members this fall. One seat is currently held by Councilmember Terry Gaasterland, while the other has remained vacant since former Councilmember Dwight Worden retired in late 2024.

Gaasterland is seeking re-election alongside challengers Jeff Sturgis and Meghan Spieker.

The candidates pointed to issues including rail realignment, housing mandates, utility undergrounding, infrastructure improvements and environmental protection as key priorities in the race.

Gaasterland has served on the council since 2018 and currently represents Del Mar on the SANDAG Board of Directors. Spieker is a Del Mar planning commissioner and longtime attorney, while Sturgis has served for more than a decade on the city’s Finance Committee.

Del Mar’s at-large election system means all registered voters in the city can vote for every open City Council seat regardless of where they live.

CSUSM stays alive in D-II

Cougars hosting Super Regional vs. Biola today

By Noah Perkins

SAN MARCOS — For

Cal State San Marcos softball, with the season on the line, it was Jill and Hill.

Facing elimination from postseason play Saturday after dropping the first game of a doubleheader, 2-1, to Cal State Dominguez Hills — the first home loss all season for the No. 3 nationally ranked Cougars (53-9) — CSUSM leaned on the familiar pitcher-hitter combination of Jordan Hill and Jillian Albayati.

Albayati, who entered the regional leading the nation with a .527 batting average, launched a solo home run to center field in the bottom of the first inning to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead, while Hill (17-4) earned the win after pitching 5 ⅓ innings, allowing six hits with two strikeouts in CSUSM’s 4-0 victory to advance to the NCAA Division II Super Regional.

“Jill’s home run in the first was really what we needed and was huge,” CSUSM head coach AJ Robinson said.

“I was just trying to get everybody fired up,” Albayati added.

Game 1 of the regional final was a tight, back-andforth battle that opened with early offense from CSUSM.

Angelina Rodriguez put the Cougars on the board in the second inning with a solo home run to center field, but Dominguez Hills steadily worked its way back into the game. Makayla Bishop sparked a sixth-inning rally with a double and later

scored on an RBI single from Tori Au to tie the score at 1-1. In the seventh, Savanna Kastigar delivered the goahead blow with a solo home run to center, lifting Dominguez Hills to a 2-1 win.

Despite the setback, Robinson said there was no panic inside the dugout.

“Two games, a lot of good softball played,” Robinson said. “Dominguez played super hard and gave everything, and it took everything we had to get past them. I knew they would

come ready to play. Super proud of our team.”

Robinson said the message between games was straightforward.

“When you lose one, you’ve got to self-reflect a little bit,” he said. “We’ve only lost nine games all year. I told them after Game 1, we have not lost two games in a row. We are a very hard team to beat. We were right there to win Game 1 — we just had to come back, have confidence, and be ourselves.”

In Game 2. Hill set the tone in the circle before turning the ball over to the bullpen.

“I never notice the nerves until I’m sitting on the sidelines,” Hill said. “Through those five innings I was calm, cool, collected. Once I came out and saw Daleah [Cardenas] dealing in there, I was pacing the dugout.”

The Cougars broke the game open in the third inning. Albayati started the rally with a single, Rae D’Amato followed with a double, and Czar Fleischman delivered an RBI single. Rodriguez then added the decisive blow with a two-RBI single through the left side, pushing CSUSM in control at 4-0.

Cardenas came on in relief and shut the door with 1 ⅔ hitless innings to finish off the shutout and secure the regional title for CSUSM.

“Jordan was amazing and really hit her spots. It was precision pitching,” Robinson said. “They made an adjustment late, so we thought making a pitching change would throw them off.”

CSUSM is hosting Biola University in a best-of-three NCAA Division II West Super Regional at CSUSM Softball Field, with a berth in the NCAA Division II World Series on the line. Game 1 was Thursday, with Games 2 and 3 (if necessary) today at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

“Biola is a really good team,” Robinson said. “They have really good pitching and some really good hitters. They are a very solid opponent.”

Knights keep Coastal crown

By Noah Perkins

SAN

MARCOS

— For the second consecutive season, San Marcos High baseball captured the Coastal League championship, finishing 10-5 in league play and 18-10 overall in what head coach Jeff Dufek described as San Diego’s most balanced and competitive league.

“There’s not much that separates the first team from the last team in our league,” Dufek said of a Coastal League gauntlet that saw just four games separate first-place San Marcos from sixth-place Mt. Carmel in the final standings.

The Knights closed out the regular season with back-to-back losses on May 12 and 13, falling 5-2 to Mt. Carmel and 4-3 to Rancho Bernardo.

“We knew we controlled our own destiny,” Dufek said. “I’m probably being too critical, but for the talent we have, we probably should have a better record. There are some variables throughout the season that pop up and create issues — injuries and what not. But at this point, we’re in the middle of it.”

San Marcos entered the final week of the regular season riding a three-game win streak after beating Del Norte and sweeping Rancho Bernardo, including a 10-inning showing of resilience in which a tworun lead was erased in the bottom of the ninth before the Knights responded with two in the 10th, with sophomore Nathan Reaney striking out five in relief after working out of a jam to close it out.

“Rancho Bernardo has a great tradition of baseball,” Dufek said. “They’re very solid on the mound, and they’ve got guys who can hit for power and for average. Our league is just a consistent level, so that’s always a challenge against those programs because their standard never changes. You’re not only playing against the players; you’re also playing against the expectation.”

A trio of senior pitchers — Max Snakenborg, Bro-

dy Layne and Isaac Esquer — have anchored the rotation all season, providing a steadying presence, according to Dufek.

“Veteran leadership stands out,” Dufek said. The Knights’ roster features nine seniors.

Snakenborg, the ace, is 6-3 with a 3.29 ERA in nine starts and is effectively in his first full season of high school pitching after undergoing Tommy John surgery in March of his sophomore year and being held off the mound his junior season.

“He’s got a little bit of moxie,” Dufek said. “He’s got great work ethic. And I think it’s taken some time to get the feel back for his pitches.”

After an arduous rehab process, Snakenborg, a right-handed Santa Clara commit, started the season as the Knights’ opening day starter against Montgomery, going six innings with six strikeouts in a 2-1 win.

“He was very happy with that,” Dufek said. “The fastball velocity was there, the breaking pitch was there. He was very deliberate in his rehab — those aren’t easy days.”

Layne is 3-1 with a 3.41 ERA, while Esquer is 2-0 with a 2.14 ERA.

At the plate, Maddox Ponsford leads the Knights, hitting .398 with 37 hits and 28 RBIs. Senior catcher Colton Walker has a team high of seven home runs, while AJ Turner has added six and Snakenborg five.

“The power numbers have been there, and that’s probably been the most surprising thing — the RBIs and home runs,” Dufek said. “The seniors have done a great job. I’ve been really happy with our senior group in terms of leadership, working with the younger guys and helping them throughout the season.”

The Knights, seeded second in the San Diego Section Open Division playoffs, hosted Granite Hills in their first-round game on Wednesday. Depending on the result, they will face either Eastlake or Point Loma in tonight’s second round of the double-elimination tournament.

Peralta makes splash at state

By Noah Perkins

SAN

MARCOS

— On the five-and-a-half-hour drive from San Marcos to Fresno with his mother, Lily, last week, ahead of the CIF State Swimming & Diving Championship meet on May 14, Isaac Peralta practiced visualization while Metric and Crosses played in the background.

The Mission Hills High School sophomore — the San Diego Section Division I champion and school record holder in the 11-dive (378.25) and sixdive (271.30) formats — often runs through the mental imagery of how a meet will unfold before stepping onto the pool deck.

“I think a lot about what to do instead of what not to do,” Peralta told The Coast News. “I feel like I’m more prone to making that mistake otherwise, so I try to visualize what I’m going to do. Even if it’s just an hour before, it really helps me calm down and really feel like I know what I’m doing.”

Peralta, who finished third in the section as a freshman and placed 21st overall at the state meet last season, has also been refining his approach to a new dive: the reverse oneand-a-half.

“I was essentially visualizing the end of the hurdle,” he said. “When you press down on reverses, you have to reach in order to make the dive easier.”

Heading into the state meet at the Aquatic Center at Clovis West High School, Peralta said his goal was to advance past the first cut — meaning a top-18 finish.

He met that goal, finishing 16th overall in the boys 1-meter 11-dive competition with a score of 381.65, moving through both cuts and setting a new Mission Hills High School program record.

Central Valley diver Lucius Haddad of St.

Mary’s won the state title with a score of 556.50.

“He was absolutely thrilled,” Mission Hills head swim and dive coach Cole Baratte said. “This is just classic Isaac — he was happy, but still very focused. Finishing 16th was huge for him, and he was incredible in how he competed and finished the year. But almost right away, he’s like, ‘Next year I want to medal.’”

Baratte said Peralta’s best dive came early in the competition — his inward one-and-a-half.

“My inward one-anda-half I’m usually able to enter the water cleanly with that one,” Peralta said. “My strongest are probably my front tuck and my front twister. The thing I need the most improvement on is my hurdle. I tend to lean out, and I’ve noticed I need to go straighter up.”

Peralta, who competes for a school without its own pool, said much of his motivation comes from his desire to leave a lasting mark on Mission Hills High School.

“Our mascot is a grizzly — but it’s really more of his paw or claw,” he said. “I see those records and I just really want to leave a mark — like, yeah, I did something when I was there and I competed for the school. It just makes me happy to see all my accomplishments and everything I’m doing.”

“One of the things I love most about Isaac is he’s incredibly proud to represent his school,” Baratte said. “One of the reasons breaking the records was so important to him is because he wants to be an inspiration for more divers in the area. As the sport fluctuates — sometimes diving goes up in participation, sometimes it goes down — Isaac is the perfect representative of diving in North County.”

Yarbrough chases history

By Noah Perkins ENCINITAS

— Every school year, San Dieguito Academy pole vaulter Dylan Yarbrough turns to the same ritual: a Moleskine notebook on his bedroom desk, where he writes down his goals.

This year, the senior set two targets — break the school record first, then surpass the San Diego Section mark of 17 feet, 2 inches, set in 2021 by La Costa Canyon’s Garrett Brown.

Yarbrough — a UCLA commit — heads into the final two meets of the season having already cleared his first goal multiple times and now sits just an inch shy of the second.

Coming off a leap of 17 feet, 1 inch — the second-highest mark in San Diego County history — on May 8 to win an Avocado League title, Yarbrough brought that form into Saturday’s CIF San Diego Section Division II championship at University City High School, winning at 16-6 and finishing a full two feet ahead of the runner-up. He is now ranked No. 1 in California and No. 7 nationally.

“It was definitely about jumping as high as I can, but also focusing on improving every week — small improvements,” he told The Coast News. “Over the week before the record, I just had this consistency and mindset of jumping really well and refining little things. I was fine-tuning my run-up, perfecting everything, and my vault started to look really good. I’ve kind of been on fire since the [first] 16-6 jump. I’m going for 17-2 to break the San Diego County record. I’m hoping to break it. I’m focused more on improving behind the scenes.”

“I’ve known him since the ninth grade,” SDA pole vault coach Mike Fitchett added. “Right away, I knew he was driven and worked really hard — not just in the pole vault, but in speed and strength work too. Very early on, he started training year-round, and that made a huge difference.

and beyond. I’m so much faster on the runway, and that’s helping me get on bigger poles. My core is a lot stronger from all the drills I’ve been doing, and it’s helping my top end. I don’t have to work so hard through the jump — it’s more natural now.”

Fitchett echoed that

to the technical side of Yarbrough’s progression, noting the range of poles used depending on conditions.

“We have about eight to 12 poles, depending on all those variable factors,” he said. “If we can get doubles lined up, he jumps really, really well. By the time he leaves high school, I think

I’m not shooting for just 17 feet anymore. I think I’m definitely capable of going 17-6 and beyond.”

He’s goal-driven. Before he leaves high school, he wants to leave his mark. He’s going to want to break the alltime San Diego record.”

Yarbrough said clearing 17 feet in practice earlier this season gave him a new mindset.

“That was a big breakthrough,” he said. “I’m not shooting for just 17 feet anymore. I think I’m definitely capable of going 17-6

assessment.

“In every meet, you have to measure a lot of things,” he said. “One is the environment — Is it warm? Is it colder? Is there wind? Is it a tailwind at your back or a headwind? How are you feeling? Are you awake enough? He gets himself into a position where he can do his best when it’s time to go.”

Fitchett also pointed

we are looking at probably 17-6.”

The section championship is this coming weekend, followed by the state championships on May 30.

For Yarbrough, the pursuit of history comes with a decision.

“He had to choose either to go to his high school graduation or the state finals,” Fitchett said. “He didn’t even blink.”

Lusardi Tower debuts at Scripps

By Staff

ENCINITAS —

Scripps Health officials on Monday celebrated the completion of the new Lusardi Tower at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas, adding dozens of private patient rooms, a new intensive care unit and expanded surgical support space as North County’s demand for health care services grows.

The 140,000-squarefoot, three-story tower was scheduled to begin receiving patients Wednesday, according to Scripps.

Hospital executives, physicians, philanthropist Warner Lusardi and Mayor Bruce Ehlers marked the building’s completion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and unveiling of the Lusardi Tower sign outside the facility.

“The demand for health care services in North County continues to grow, and Scripps is investing in the region to ensure that we will be able to meet that rising demand in the coming decades,” Scripps President and CEO Chris Van Gorder said in a statement.

The expansion increases the hospital’s licensed bed capacity from 187 to 235 beds, according to Scripps.

The building is named after Warner Lusardi and his late wife, Debbie Lusardi, longtime supporters of Scripps Health who committed $25 million toward the construction of the tower.

The tower includes 36 medical-surgical beds, a 16-bed intensive care unit, a 16-bed postpartum unit connected to the birth pavilion and a 26-bed perioperative unit for patients before and after surgery. The ground floor also features a new cafeteria for staff, patients and visitors.

Scott Eisman, physician chief operating officer at Scripps Encinitas, said the expansion is intended to help the hospital address increasingly complex medical needs in the region.

“Growing communities experience a greater complexity of medical conditions, and they need more health care resources to address them,” Eisman said.

The project was designed for patient comfort, healing and staff efficiency, according to the hospital. Private rooms feature

Bressi condos under city review

By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD — Devel-

opers posed a question to the City Council and the broader Carlsbad public as they sought permission to continue city-level processing of a proposed 111-unit townhome project in Bressi Ranch that would require rezoning the 7-acre site.

floor-to-ceiling windows, natural lighting, local artwork and advanced medical equipment.

A three-story mural visible through a glass stairwell along Santa Fe Drive depicts North County landscapes, including flower fields, Torrey pines and California poppies.

Construction took place on the active hospital campus and required coordination to avoid disrupting patient care.

Scripps said work will continue on a second phase of the project, a planned 42,000-square-foot addition scheduled for completion in 2029 that will include new surgical suites, a cardiac catheterization lab and expanded imaging facilities.

The Lusardi Tower is the latest component of a long-term expansion plan at the Encinitas campus. Previous projects included the opening of a 68,000-square-foot medical office pavilion in 2021 and the Leichtag Foundation Critical Care Pavilion in 2014.

Clinic spending initiative heads to November ballot

Southern California voters and residents across the state will decide in November whether nonprofit community health clinics should be required to spend at least 90% of their revenue on patient care and other program services under a ballot initiative that became eligible Monday for the 2026 general election.

California Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber announced that supporters of the initiative submitted enough valid petition signatures to qualify the measure for the Nov. 3 statewide ballot.

The initiative would require “nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Centers” — community clinics serving medically underserved populations — to devote at least 90% of their revenue toward services advancing their charitable mission rather than administrative or overhead costs.

More information is available through the California Secretary of State.

Eric Everhart of Toll Brothers, the project developer, said the currently undeveloped lot at the southwest corner of Gateway Road and Alicante Road — near Viasat’s 1.1 million-square-foot campus, with large warehouse-style buildings on one side and homes on the other — showed a “readiness for redevelopment.”

As part of his presentation, Everhart contrasted renderings of the proposed townhomes with an industrial building similar in design to others nearby occupying the same site.

“A meaningful question before the council is not simply which project (industrial or residential) is preferred, it's what kind of neighbor this site will be to the families of Bressi Ranch for the next 50 years? We believe the answer is clear.”

The City Council voted unanimously on May 12 to move the project forward for further review, which would include city staff analysis and several layers of approvals before construction could begin. The council agreed with the Planning Commission's recommendation in February.

Eric Lardy, assistant director of community development for the city, said, “This is permission to continue with their proposal," adding that the developer and the property owner would be responsible for paying fees associated with the city’s review.

Mayor Keith Blackburn said that because the proposal remains in a preliminary stage, there would be additional opportunities for discussion if the project continues to advance. Blackburn said he hoped opponents of the project “don’t go home thinking they lost today.”

“This is just giving the property owner the permission to bring a proposal forward,” Blackburn said. “There’s still off-ramps for this council. If we look at it and feel uncomfortable with the proposal, we still have more off-ramps ahead of us where we can deny any further progress.”

Public commenters were largely, though not entirely, opposed to the project. Lardy said the city received 12 comments in opposition and five in support.

Speakers raised concerns about parking and questioned what efforts the landowner had made to find a more suitable tenant. Several residents also cited traffic concerns, particularly given two nearby intersections with high accident rates.

One resident expressed support for the project, saying it could make housing in

Carlsbad more accessible to a broader range of residents.

Lardy said residential uses generally generate fewer trips than industrial uses, though a more detailed analysis of circulation impacts would be conducted if

development review process would provide numerous opportunities for community input on the project’s design.

“I think it’s really important to open that dialogue,” Burkholder said.

If we feel uncomfortable with the proposal, we still have more off-ramps ahead of us where we can deny any further progress.”

the project advances.

According to city documents, the plans include 252 parking spaces for the townhome development.

The project would also require rezoning the site from Planned Industrial to Residential to accommodate the proposal.

Councilmember Melanie Burkholder said the

Councilmember Teresa Acosta said the need for workforce housing, particularly for younger generations, is “something we’re tasked with addressing, and it’s hard.”

She added that she would be “open minded and willing to see what it would look like” if the project moves forward.

“We don’t have a lot to weigh in on, other than we see that vacant lot there and there's just kind of an idea of what it would look like if it had 111 units,” Acosta said.

Mayor Pro Tem Priya Bhat-Patel said land-use conversations are “difficult and charged.”

Bhat-Patel added that she regularly hears from working professionals, such as teachers and first responders, who commute for hours each day to serve the Carlsbad community.

Councilmember Kevin Shin said he supported advancing the project because “the property owner and developer, they’re risking liability.” He added that the process “allows the public to really, really truly provide their voice and opinion on this matter.”

Shin also said he would “heed warning” to any developer attempting to “dupe” the city into “a density bonus issue.”

Stone bistro in Esco open, but for how long?

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO

— While long-term plans remain unknown, Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens will remain open for at least the next six months following its parent company’s decision to cease brewing operations at its Escondido plant by the end of the year.

Last month, Sapporo USA, a subsidiary of Sapporo Breweries, sold Stone Brewing to Firestone Walker Brewing Company and Duvel Moortgat USA for an undisclosed amount.

Sapporo previously purchased Stone in 2022 for $165 million.

The decision to sell Stone comes as the brand celebrates its 30th anniversary and marks another setback for the company’s

long-discussed expansion plans in Escondido, including a highly publicized proposal in 2016 for a 99-room boutique hotel that was ultimately never built.

According to Sapporo, declining demand in the U.S. beer market challenged operations. Despite this, sales of the Sapporo brand grew, leading the company to focus on that label and transfer ownership of Stone.

Firestone Walker will shift Stone’s western brewing production to Paso Robles. Sapporo will wind down and eventually cease brewing operations at its facility on Citracado Parkway in Escondido. Brewing operations will continue at the company’s Richmond, Virginia, location.

As part of the acquisition, four retail locations — including Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station and taprooms in Little Italy, Oceanside and Pasadena — will remain open. The Liberty Station location will continue to provide hospitality services and operate as an active brewing facility.

“Stone is one of the most iconic brands in American craft beer and a pioneer of the West Coast IPA,” Nick Firestone said in a press release. “For 30 years they’ve built something legendary, a brand known for its commitment to quality, drive for innovation, and a true fighting spirit.

“We will honor what’s been built and carry it forward with the same authen-

ticity and conviction that we love them for. The Stone heart keeps beating.”

Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens was not included in the Firestone sale and remains under Sapporo’s ownership for now, though its long-term future remains uncertain.

In a May 14 Facebook post, the restaurant and company store said they would continue operating as usual for the next six months.

“We’d love for you to come visit, enjoy the gardens, take a brewery tour, grab some food, beer, or merch, and spend some time with our team,” the post reads.

Sapporo did not return The Coast News’ request for comment.

HATE CRIME CONTINUED FROM FRONT

walking his dog near the synagogue when Gitesatani approached from behind and punched him in the jaw, according to federal prosecutors.

Gitesatani then walked away and retreated into the crowd, the indictment alleges.

On the same day, Gitesatani allegedly posted to his Instagram account a screenshot of the assault with a message that read, “Whooped the Zios today and we took their flag,” along with two images of himself displaying bruised knuckles following the assault, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

“The defendant’s conduct, if proven, is a serious violation of the law — every American deserves to live without fear of violence based on who he is or how he worships,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said in a statement.

“The Justice Department is committed to vigorously prosecuting such crimes of hate and violence.”

The DOJ alleges that in the days following the assault, Gitesatani exchanged Instagram messages with another user regarding the attack. Gitesatani allegedly wrote, “I whopped 2 zios,” “I

swung good on them,” and “It was satisfying.”

He is also alleged to have posted on Instagram a still image of the assault with the caption, “The Chosen People sometimes need a good smack to wake up,” according to the indictment filed in downtown Los Angeles.

The arrest follows a July 2025 FBI search of Gitesatani’s Carlsbad home previously reported by The Coast News. Federal agents and Carlsbad police officers executed a court-authorized search warrant at the Meadow Drive residence, though authorities at the time declined to disclose the nature of the investigation.

Gitesatani is the operator of the online vigilante page CC Unit, which posted videos of alleged sexual predators in communities across North County and Southern California. No federal charges had been filed against him at the time of the search.

The Coast News left a message for Gitesatani seeking comment and will update the story with any developments.

If convicted, Gitesatani could face up to 10 years in federal prison, prosecutors said.

The Coast News reporter Leo Place contributed to the report.

So much to love about Blank Slate in Encinitas

When I heard that one of my favorite husband-and-wife culinary teams, Chef Aron and Pam Schwartz of APS Hospitality Group, had a new project in the former Chiko space next door to Encinitas Surfboards, my Lick the Plate interest was piqued in a big way.

The concept is called Blank Slate and it’s a chef-driven private dining and event space that, through the month of May, is featuring a series of Community Nights to introduce the space to the public while building momentum for its core focus, which will be curated private events and culinary experiences.

I managed to score a solo seat on a recent Friday and was reminded why I was so excited about Aron and Pam bringing their culinary talent to Encinitas. I’ll keep that dinner description brief, then segue into a conversation I had with them, covering their road to Blank Slate and the concept itself.

That said, my dinner was a perfect meal. It started with a Wedge Salad, followed by a Pan Seared Ocean Trout with roasted potatoes, local vegetables and a charred lemon, then wrapped up with a Mixed Berry Crisp with vanilla ice cream.

I should also mention that it’s a family affair at Blank Slate as their daughter was my server and it was evident she knew her way around a restaurant. With that, here is my conversation with Pam and Aron.

LTP: Let's start with your and Aron's impressive culinary background. From the beginning, take me down that road to Blank Slate.

Pam: I was a CIA grad ‘96 and ‘97 then started out at Courtney’s Restaurant in Tallahassee, Florida, then included stops at Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia; Forsgate Country Club in New Jersey; Traxx Restaurant in Los Angeles; Aubergine in Hillsdale, New York; Nobu in Las Vegas; Mortons in Las Vegas; and Pamplemousse Grille in Del Mar, where I transitioned out of kitchens as a sommelier, GM, and director of F&B. Arterra in Del Mar and chef at Sur La Table in Carlsbad were stops along the road and now APS Hospitality Group and Blank Slate!

Aron: I was a ’98 CIA and going way back starting at Scalini’s in Del Mar — I was a busser where I would go in before my bussing shift and after lifeguarding, to learn to make pasta. That

led to L’Auberge in Del Mar; Charlotte Restaurant in Lakeville, Connecticut; Lutece in Las Vegas; Bernardo’s Restaurant in Rancho Bernardo; Marriott Marquis and Marina, Ranch 45 in Del Mar; Huntington Hotel Group in San Diego; Hello Betty Fish House in Oceanside, then founded APS Hospitality Group.

LTP: And speaking of Blank Slate, it's a unique and what seems to be a flexible concept. Tell me about it.

Aron: Blank Slate is a chef-driven private event venue designed to be exactly that — a blank slate. From intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations, the space transforms to reflect your vision, with thoughtful cuisine and curated experiences at the center.

Beyond private events, Blank Slate opens its doors to the community with Community Nights open to the public, along with a rotating lineup of pop-ups and special events throughout the month — bringing fresh energy, new flavors, and creative collaboration to the 101.

LTP: Your space right next door to Encinitas Surfboards is an iconic Encinitas location. What drew you to it?

Pam: When we started looking for spaces we searched from Del Mar to Leucadia — from the 101 to downtown Rancho Santa Fe. Encinitas has always felt like the right community. Our kids go to/went to SDA, I love running from Seaside to Swami's, Aron has always said that he’d be happy with a shack on a beach to serve good food and surf when he wants.

When this space came up it felt like the perfect fit. On top of all this there’s so much history and character in this stretch of the 101— it’s iconic in a very authentic, local way. The walkability, the connection to the beach, and the mix of people constantly moving through

the area.

Blank Slate was always meant to feel approachable, creative and community-driven, and this location immediately felt aligned with that vision. Being steps from Moonlight Beach and surrounded by longtime local businesses gives the space a sense of place that you can’t manufacture.

LTP: For the month of May you are hosting Community Nights to introduce Blank Slate to the area. What can folks expect?

Pam: It’s our way of opening the doors, welcoming the neighborhood, and giving you a feel for what Blank Slate is all about. Each evening will feature a 3-course, chef-driven menu at $55 per person (plus tax & gratuity) from 5:30 to 9 p.m.

The menu will be seasonal, approachable and rooted in the relationships we’ve built with our growers, makers and purveyors. It’s thoughtful food without the formality — designed to bring people together.

LTP: Now that you are part of the Encinitas community of restaurateurs, what other restaurants are you enjoying?

Pam: Juanita’s was the first restaurant I ever went to in San Diego. Aron used to live down the street. This southern girl had no idea what to order, so I went safe with a bean, rice and cheese. That’s where I met my future in-laws.

You’d think most guys would set up a reservation at a fancy restaurant. Not Aron, truly authentically himself, it was a taco shop. Juanita’s is still one of our favorites. We love Forchettina — the risotto!!! The couple that has taken over remind us of younger versions of ourselves. We are hoping only the best for them. Sandwiches at Ernie’s are top-notch as well.

LTP: Anything else you would like to add?

Tri-City opens new ER

O’side hospital completes $5.2M makeover

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — TriCity Medical Center has officially opened its renovated, redesigned emergency department, marking the completion of a multi-year priority project for the North County hospital.

The emergency department officially reopened on May 14 after the hospital received state clearance.

“This Emergency Department belongs to the community that built it,” said Jennifer Paroly, president of the Tri-City Hospital Foundation.

The reimagined emergency department was built almost entirely using Tri-City Hospital Foundation’s $5.2 million philanthropic campaign, which collected donations from neighbors, local businesses and partners over the past several years.

David C. Copley Foundation and the Conrad Prebys Foundation were early contributors to the project.

According to staff, TriCity’s emergency department is one of the top-performing stroke and heart attack receiving centers in Southern California as well as a critical emergency care resource for thousands of North County residents.

“For years, our donors told us the same thing: take care of the ER, because the ER takes care of all of us,”

Paroly said. “Today we get to say thank you in the most meaningful way possible – by opening a space that will serve our neighbors at their most vulnerable moments, for decades to come.”

Renovations include:

• Increased treatment capacity to ease bottlenecks during peak demand and reduce ambulance diversions;

• A modernized triage zone designed to accelerate treatment from arrival;

• A redesigned waiting and family area; and

• An upgraded major treatment area with modernized equipment and better sightlines for nurses.

“Every design decision started with one question: how will this help a patient get the best care, in the most efficient, patient-centric manner?” said Dr. Cary Mells, emergency department medical director. “For our team, this isn’t just a renovation, it’s a re-

invention of how we deliver emergency care to North County. We now have the space, the technology, and the workflow to take care of more patients, more quickly, with the high quality that each and every patient deserves.”

Completion of the redesigned emergency department has come at a time when the hospital continues its multi-year transformation to improve services for the community.

Separately, voters will decide on June 2, through Measure H, whether the hospital may partner with Sharp HealthCare.

Key components of Sharp’s proposal include a long-term lease of the hospital, assumption of all Tri-City’s assets and liabilities, a capital commitment of at least $100 million to cover facility upgrades and strategic investments, and plans to implement Epic’s Electronic Health Record (EHR) system.

Encinitas forms skate committee to explore projects

By Cameron Adams ENCINITAS — The

City of Encinitas has begun accepting applications for a committee tasked with generating ideas for skateboarding features throughout the city.

The Skate Feature Committee would comprise 10 members — a mix of skaters and non-skaters alike — as well as city staff and two members of the City Council.

Four of the 10 members would come from voting districts throughout the city, with the remaining seats serving at-large. If a district does not receive an applicant, that seat would convert to an at-large seat.

Deputy Mayor Jim O’Hara said the goal is to build a coalition of residents that can come up with interesting, creative ideas for skate features throughout the city, not just at existing parks.

“I think we’re looking at whatever space makes sense around the city — that the city, its residents, the skate community, everybody will benefit from,” O’Hara said. “It may not be a park, it may be a space that fits outside of the box that we think of.”

He added that the effort would be a way to recognize the local culture.

“We’re a community and part of that community, whether you own a skateboard or don’t — I’m never getting a skateboard in my life with my back — ev-

erybody here knows Bryce Wettstein and Tony Hawk, right?” O’Hara said at the May 13 council meeting. “And most of us adore those people and think they’re pretty incredible. They’re part of our culture. If we were to identify somebody famous from our city, we might mention one of them.”

He added that issues discussed might include sound mitigation and other concerns related to the location and scope of any project identified.

City Manager Jennifer Campbell said that, given the differences in the design and permitting processes depending on where a feature would be located, she would recommend prioritizing the identification of a location.

Councilmember Luke

raised concerns about costs.

Lyndes said that because a skate feature was not included in the master plan or strategic plan, she worried the city might not have its “ducks in a row.”

“If we were a city that only had to make decisions about skateboarding, then this would be easy because I embrace skateboarding,” she said. “I think it’s a really important part of our community and our history and our legacy and what people enjoy here in our community. But we’re not. We have so many other fiscal responsibilities and priorities.”

better level.”

In response, O’Hara said the committee would not have a private funding mandate to avoid preventing possible solutions down the line. He added that the creation of the committee did not come with any earmarked funds for projects, but was instead an effort to gather ideas from the community in an organized manner.

that’s where it existed for so long.”

Exposure Skate

Earlier at the same meeting, the City Council also voted unanimously to approve a Memorandum of Understanding with Exposure Skate for its annual competition.

Shaffer said skateboarding has played an important role in his life and that he would always bring a board with him when deployments allowed.

“It’s a place of meditation for me when I’m not in this place I call home and have called home my whole life,” Shaffer said.

He added that, unlike traditional team sports, skateboarding has a way of bringing together people who might not normally interact.

“It’s one of those things where you can see 7-yearolds and you can see soonto-be-70-year-olds skating together,” Shaffer said. “You don’t typically see that across other sports.”

During the discussion, Councilmember Joy Lyndes and Mayor Bruce Ehlers

Ehlers said that mandating private funding could result in a situation similar to the Community Center without its pool.

“I would point out that if we do go down this path and we require that it be privately funded, there’s a chance that as Council Member Lyndes pointed out, the expense will be greater and it’ll be hard to get it,” he said. “It would have to be a marquee location in order to really get people behind it.”

Ehlers expanded on Lyndes’ point by noting the mix of priorities facing the city as it decides how best to use available funds.

“I want to make sure we’re not committing any general funds,” he said. “I’ll just go on record. I won’t commit general funds to fund this until we get our ‘need to haves’ funded at a

“I’m going to support this tonight because it’s not about funding,” Ehlers said. “But when it comes back for future funding discussion, it’s going to be ‘need to have’ versus ‘want to have.’”

The City Council unanimously voted to create the committee across the parking lot from the City Hall sign, above a paved hill that skateboarders have dropped from for decades.

Shaffer pointed out that the Vons shopping center, the former 7-Eleven parking lot, the stairs at Pacific View and the gutter at Glen Park had all been hot spots for the local skating community.

“What I’m trying to say is people found places to go skate,” he said. “I think that it’s time to bring the skate culture, at least in our community, out to the forefront and give it its due.

“Skating was born in the counterculture. It was born, it was pushed into the corners, pushed into, ‘do it on your own time.’ It still kind of lives in that because

The Vista-based nonprofit dedicated to female and nonbinary skateboarders hosts learn-to-skate events in addition to its flagship competition.

Exposure had said rising city fees might have prevented it from hosting future competitions in Encinitas.

The MOU includes more than $17,000 in support from the city. That support includes the special event permit fee, refuse removal costs, restroom services and ambulance costs, all of which were individually valued at more than $1,000, according to city documents.

The 2025 event featured an estimated attendance of more than 4,100, according to the documents.

“I want to call this out as using our existing facilities, but yet being a high-level promotion of what a wonderful skate destination we are but also how it benefits women and girls,” Lyndes said. “It’s so notable, and I’ve enjoyed attending. I am not a skater, but I think it benefits people way outside of the skating community.”

Village fosters senior connections

By Cameron Adams

ENCINITAS — Rancho Coastal Humane Society community outreach manager Niki Plasse was flanked by Picnic, 9, and Ghost, 11, along with several other dogs as she addressed more than a dozen audience members assembled by Village Encinitas.

Plasse discussed Rancho Coastal’s personalized adoption process and other ways seniors can coexist with furry companions.

“Our main focus with all of our community programs — with our mission, with any of our services — is basically to keep humans and their pets together and safe,” Plasse said. “We just

want to make sure that everybody sticks and has their perfect match.”

The Companions and Connections event, hosted at San Dieguito United Methodist Church on May 12, is one of many regular events organized by Village Encinitas, a nonprofit serving older adults in the community.

Village Encinitas President Jesse Hanwit told The Coast News that one of the organization’s primary goals is ensuring residents can safely age in place while maintaining a high quality of life. She described it as a “caring community where people help each other with small tasks that are sometimes annoyingly difficult to complete.”

“They can be things like a ride to the doctor, walking a dog if you have to be away for too long, or setting up a TV, which just happened yesterday — that can be pretty challenging,” Hanwit said. “And then besides that connection, we also have the

County OKs youth housing funds

By City News Service SAN DIEGO

— Coun-

ty supervisors voted 3-0 on May 19 to approve $1.8 million to help build 35 units of permanent supportive housing for young people aging out of the foster care system.

The proposal, sponsored by Supervisor Jim Desmond and Vice Chair Monica Montgomery Steppe, “clears the final funding hurdle for a Vista project that will pair stable housing with on-site medical care, behavioral health services and job training,” according to a county news release.

DignityMoves is developing the project in partnership with Casa de

Amparo, TrueCare and the City of Vista. TrueCare will provide on-site medical and behavioral health services, while Casa de Amparo “brings decades of experience serving former foster youth in North County,” supervisors said.

The city of Vista will contribute $2.2 million toward the project. An exact location for the housing units was not released.

Every year, young people in San Diego County leave foster care on their 18th birthday “without family, savings or a place to live,” according to Desmond and Montgomery Steppe. “Many end up on the street within months. The new development in Vista is

designed to interrupt that pattern at the exact moment it tends to start.”

“These are kids who grew up in our system, and we owe them a real shot at adulthood,” Desmond said. “Aging out of foster care should not be a one-way ticket to homelessness.”

The units will serve people ages 18 to 25 leaving foster care.

“The model is built around the reality that housing alone is rarely enough for young adults coming out of the system with histories of trauma, interrupted schooling and limited work experience,” according to the county.

Before Tuesday’s vote, Desmond said many foster

youth “have suffered a lot of trauma in their lives, and they deserve our help.”

Montgomery Steppe said the housing units are needed to break the cycle of homelessness.

According to the county, the $1.8 million “closes the final funding gap,” while leveraging $10.8 million in state Homekey+ funding, along with an estimated $1.5 million in philanthropic contributions.

Board Chair Terra Lawson-Remer was absent from Tuesday’s meeting after giving birth to a girl.

Supervisor Joel Anderson, citing opposition to another agenda item not being heard, left the meeting early.

social events.”

Some events are educational and informational, like the May 26 Brain Balance program, while others are more social, such as Stories Over Lunch on June 9.

“The whole idea behind it is that we're all wonderful and we all have had amazing experiences, and we don't know anything about what other people have done,” Hanwit said. “Most of us aren't working anymore, and we don't have that kind of a connection.”

She said Stories Over Lunch features a catered meal at tables of five or six people and prompts encouraging attendees “to talk to the people at the table, just about yourself, and about the fun things that you've had the opportunity to do.”

Village Encinitas was established in 2023 and has since grown to 80 members, according to Hanwit.

At the event, Plasse informed attendees about Rancho Coastal’s Seniors-for-Seniors adoption program, which connects dogs and cats older than 7 with people 60 and older. Adoption fees are waived through the program.

Shirley Tweedell of Frosted Faces Foundation discussed the organization’s efforts to support older pets and the families who adopt them.

“Don’t be afraid of adopting an older pet,” Tweedell said.

Tweedell said that with proper diets and routines, pets like Picnic and Ghost can live well into their teenage years.

“He is such a lover,” Tweedell said. “Ghost was in our laps all the way down on the drive down from Ramona. He sat in her lap and was just sleeping.”

One audience member asked how she could get to the Ramona veterinary hospital if her pet needed treatment. Another attendee immediately offered to drive her.

“Isn’t it wonderful, we all work together,” Tweedell said.

Village Encinitas Director Pam Clarke said those gestures reflect what the organization is all about.

“It’s neighbors helping neighbors and keeping seniors in their homes,” Clarke said. “That’s the most important thing: aging in place.”

Rock painting a way to entertain kids this summer

jano’s garden

What to do in the summer with children or grandchildren? Go outside! With so many children tied to their phones or computers, we must get them outside!

And as simple as it may seem, summer projects do not have to be expensive, and they are often free. I have a talented friend from Carlsbad who makes it her daily project to collect and paint rocks. Barbara Jean Lemon has been creating miniature works of art on her newly found objects for years and insists on giving them away.

The rock becomes the canvas, and with the correct paint and small paint brushes, your family can create landscapes, a favorite animal, brilliant flowers, even a fantasy island.

Barbara says, “I just love to paint, but I also like to share my rocks with others.” Her artwork can be found at many coffee shops in Carlsbad, such as Baba Coffee at 2727 State St.

If you and your children would like to paint your own rocks, follow these simple steps:

1. Locate one large oval rock, at least 8-10 inches in length. Wash thoroughly and dry in the sun.

2. Purchase one small jar of white acrylic paint and three small jars of your favorite colors. Choose at least three tiny brushes as well. And a sturdy pencil.

3. Locate a photo or internet image to use as inspiration, such as a flower, landscape or favorite pet. Print out the image and use as reference.

4. Paint the entire rock white and allow to dry thoroughly. Sketch the design

on the white surface with a pencil. Fill in your design, following your photo or handmade sketch.

5. To be certain the rock painting will last, cover with acrylic clear gloss. Sign and enjoy or give away!

Become a collector

When I lived on Lake Michigan during the summer months in grade school, I often walked the shore with my dad. The beach was laden with special treasures, such as pieces of gray driftwood, fish heads, rocks

and worn sea glass, to name a few.

I discovered rather quickly that throwing my treasures in a basket simply wouldn’t do. So, we started collecting cigar boxes to display our treasures. When the box stood upright it became the perfect showcase for objects that had once simply washed up on the beach.

If you are making your treasure box, glue your pieces to the inside of the cigar box, and write a few notes to remember your special day.

Children and collections

Children love to pick up and carry home assorted objects. When asked why they chose certain objects, they will say, “Because they look cool.”

While observing a brother and sister pair, playing tag under a tree in the park, I noticed the sister picked up a long, bumpy pod and put it in her sweater pocket. The brother followed suit and put one in his pocket as well. I asked him what

he found interesting about the magnolia pod, and he said, “Because my sister did!”

Who knows, they might be budding horticulturists!

Pounded flower prints

Jennifer Wardell, a fellow horticulturist, lives with her family in upstate New York and often plan craft projects on rainy days in the summer.

This one was a hit with the whole family:

1. Locate brightly colored flowers with sturdy buds and place them on a piece of 8x10 white paper. Place paper on a wooden surface, such as a cutting board.

2. Arrange at least 5-10 flowers, depending on the size of the bud. Place a second piece of white paper directly on top of the buds.

3. Pound with a hammer, until buds are flattened. When you lift up the paper, you will have a colored flower print.

If we can encourage our children to explore what is in our backyard or the local park, maybe they will play with each other and won’t spend so much time glued to the computer or their phones.

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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS:

If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. 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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Starting March 1, 2026, Federal Law may prohibit ZBS Law from issuing a Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale in connection with this trustee’s sale until information about the winning bidder is reported to the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. See, 31 CFR § 1031.320 (https:// www.ecfr.gov/current/ title-31/subtitle-B/chapter-X/ part-1031/subpart-C/ section-1031.320).

If you qualify as an exempt entity or trust under 31 CFR § 1031.320(n) (10-(11), you may be required to provide evidence of the exemption supported by a declaration under penalty of perjury. If the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale cannot be issued due to a quali ed transferee’s failure or inability to provide the necessary reporting information, the quali ed transferee will be responsible for all fees and costs to re-notice the trustee’s sale. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, bene ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Election 2026

Joyce, Robinson seek reelection

Three early candidates vying for O’side D2 seat

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — This year, voters in Oceanside’s Districts 1 and 2 will decide whether they want new faces on the City Council.

Currently, Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce holds the District 1 seat, while Councilmember Rick Robinson represents District 2. Both were first elected in 2022 and plan to seek reelection.

These candidate filings come ahead of the city’s official nomination period, which runs from July 13 through Aug. 7. Candidates must submit nomination papers during that window to officially qualify for the November ballot.

District 1

Joyce announced his reelection campaign in February, pledging to fight for Oceanside residents and prioritize neighborhood safety, affordable housing and environmental protection.

According to Joyce, he plans to continue working closely with residents and community organizations to promote neighborhood safety, as he has during his first term.

“Oceansiders are witnessing a changing city,” Joyce previously told The Coast News. “District 1 residents aren’t opposed to all changes, but they want a city that grows responsibly, protects our environment, and makes sure working people and families aren’t left behind. I’m running for re-election to make sure their voices — not special interests — guide our city’s future.”

Joyce previously served as a trustee on the Oceanside Unified School District board.

risk. Community care also means the city being unambiguous about its support for our most vulnerable families,” she said.

Gonzales said she plans to hold developers accountable if they fail to meet their commitments and to protect existing affordable housing in the district if elected.

District 2

In District 2, Robinson said he is seeking reelection at the request of constituents who support his work and trust him to make informed decisions regarding upcoming projects, developments and other issues over the next four years.

Robinson, who previously served as the city’s fire chief, said his primary focus has been and will continue to be the city’s financial health. The City Council is responsible for approving the annual budget, reviewing investment reports and discussing the city’s fiscal well-being with staff.

Most of the city’s agricultural lands are located in District 2, making them another top concern for Robinson.

“In a second term, I want to see real progress on agrotourism, turning what has been a long-discussed area into something tangible for our farmers and our community,” Robinson said.

Robinson also said he will continue to support the city’s RE:BEACH project, which aims to address sand erosion by installing two artificial headlands — also referred to as “living speed bumps” — and an artificial reef offshore near Tyson Street and Wisconsin Avenue beaches.

Michael Cline has filed his intention to run against Joyce for the District 1 seat. The Coast News reached out to his treasurer for comment, but did not receive a response.

other agencies to ensure the best outcomes for residents.

“I had seen a lot of issues with the current council – they got elected by talking about development and stopping development, but that is an issue that’s guided by state law and they have approved everything that’s crossed their desks,” Golden said. “And so I think we need a fresh approach on our city council – which I can provide – within the framework of state laws. I think we are responsible to make sure we have infrastructure on our streets to support growth, provide meaningful, affordable housing, and protect our environment.”

Sprague moved to Encinitas in 1977 and said in a

video released on social media that he has seen many changes in the city over the years — “some of them are excellent and some not so much.” He has a history of public service, including service with the Carlsbad Fire Department and the North County Fire Authority, as well as serving as president of the Olivenhain Municipal Water District. He holds a master’s degree in public administration from San Diego State University.

Sprague told The Coast News his three main priorities were public safety, local control and the environment. He said that when it comes to local plans for growth, state policies have “blown that all up” and that he wants to “push back on the state mandates.” Ultimately, Sprague said he

So far, two others have filed their intention to seek the District 2 seat: Emily Gonzales and Oscarin Ortega.

Gonzales currently serves on the city’s Planning Commission. She has lived in Oceanside for more than 20 years and is a co-founder and board member of The Swell Collective, a nonprofit focused on professional training, coaching and collaboration to support marginalized communities.

She said the district has lacked a representative who “truly understands the great diversity of the district.”

“With this diversity comes tremendous responsibility of our elected officials to listen, to learn and to engage with neighbors in every neighborhood,” she said. “It is my belief that everyone’s voice matters at City Hall.”

Gonzales listed public safety, smart growth and affordability for working residents among her top priorities.

“District 2 is the most wildfire-prone district in the city, and we need neighborhood-level readiness that matches that

The project, which is expected to cost $31.4 million with an estimated $500,000 in annual maintenance, remains largely unfunded. The city hopes to have a shovel-ready project and to submit permit applications to regulatory agencies sometime this year.

wanted his grandkids to enjoy Encinitas and “the same special life I did.”

“What I’m hoping to do is preserve and protect what I love about this community,” Sprague said.

District 4

Brad Lefkowits, a member of the city’s Urban Forest Advisory Commission since 202, filed to run for District 4.

Lefkowits, who owns a landscape design company recognized by the Olivenhain Municipal Water District for employing water-smart techniques, said environmental stewardship would be a focus of his campaign.

He was a founding member of the advocacy group Parents of EUSD and spoke out in support of the LGBTQ+ community

Ortega is the founder of Lived Experiences, a local nonprofit dedicated to improving community well-being by providing free food, diapers, laundry services and other basic needs, along with mentorship and connections through shared experiences.

Like Gonzales, Ortega highlighted the diversity of District 2 and said many residents have felt overlooked and underrepresented for too long.

Ortega’s top priorities include centering residents in City Hall discussions, supporting small businesses, creating tax breaks on everyday necessities for seniors, protecting local families from aggressive immigration policies, advocating for city-owned affordable housing and revitalizing the San Luis Rey River.

Ortega grew up in Oceanside and is the father of five children who attend local schools.

He said his experiences growing up in the city, including personal hardships, have given him an understanding of Oceanside’s history, challenges and strengths. Combined with his experience running a nonprofit and building relationships throughout the community, Ortega said he feels prepared to represent District 2 on the City Council.

“I want District 2 to be known not only for its diversity, but for how that diversity is honored and invested in — cultural spaces, historical recognition for Mid Valley and Deep Valley, and businesses rooted in the identities of our community,” he said.

during the “Boo Bash” controversy.

“Encinitas is at a pivotal moment,” Lefkowits said in a statement. “I am running to bring common sense and collaboration back to City Hall so we can protect our coastal character, plan responsibly for growth, protect the most vulnerable members of our community and make decisions that are both legally sound and fiscally responsible.”

recent State of Tri-City event, which highlighted advances in minimally invasive spine care and surgical innovation in North County.

Advanced spine care now closer to home

Chronic back pain can affect nearly every part of daily life, from work and sleep to mobility and independence. For many people in North County, even everyday activities like walking the dog, gardening or playing with grandchildren can become increasingly difficult over time.

According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, back pain remains one of the most common medical problems in the United States and a leading cause of disability.

As spine care continues to evolve, new technology is helping surgeons perform procedures with greater precision while expanding access to advanced care closer to home.

Tri-City Medical Center recently introduced the latest generation of Mako® robotic spine technology along with advanced Co-Pilot guidance technology from Stryker, continuing the hospital’s long-standing investment in robotic-assisted and minimally invasive spine surgery.

Tri-City’s history with robotic spine technology dates back more than a decade. In 2012, the medical center became one of the early adopters of robotic spine surgery in the region and later expanded the program as patient demand and physician interest continued to grow.

Tri-City leaders recently showcased some of the hospital’s robotic-assisted surgical technology during the annual State of TriCity event, where community members had the opportunity to interact with advanced systems used in minimally invasive procedures and surgical planning. As healthcare technology continues to advance, Tri-City Medical Center remains focused on bringing innovative tools and specialized care to the communities of North County so patients can access advanced treatment options close to home.

Community Health Line is a recurring column presented by Tri-City Medical Center, focused on advancing community health and awareness in North County. This content is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice.

Today’s robotic-assisted systems allow surgeons to use detailed 3D imaging to carefully plan procedures based on a patient’s specific anatomy before surgery even begins. During surgery, the technology provides real-time guidance designed to support precision and consistency while assisting surgeons during minimally invasive procedures. Advanced imaging and navigation tools are also helping physicians evaluate complex spinal conditions with greater detail during both surgical planning and treatment. Minimally invasive approaches may help reduce disruption to surrounding tissue, postoperative discomfort and recovery time compared with some traditional open procedures. Every patient and condition is different, but advances in technology continue to create new treatment possibilities for people living with chronic back pain and complex spinal conditions.
