Veteran attacked, later dies

Escondido man, 69, beaten outside home

By City News Service

ESCONDIDO — A 69-yearold U.S. Army veteran who was attacked and beaten near his Escondido home last week reportedly died of his injuries Sunday night, according to several news reports Monday.

Kerry Sheron was the owner of the so-called “Trump House,” which got its name from Sheron’s display of several U.S. flags and MAGA signs.

Officers responded around 2:15 p.m. May 20 to a report of an assault in the area of East Mission Avenue and Buchanan Street in the Midway-East neighborhood, according to the Escondido Police Department.

Upon arrival, officers found Sheron suffering from significant injuries. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

A bystander who stepped in to stop the attack was also injured, police said. Investigators did not immediately release details on the bystander’s condition.

Thomas Caleb Butler, 32, of Escondido, was taken into custody without incident a few blocks away near East Mission Avenue and Begonia Street, the department said.

Butler, a U.S. Navy veteran, pleaded not guilty May 22 to charges of attempted first-degree murder, elder abuse, making a criminal threat and misdemeanor battery of a spouse. He was being

GOP factions clash over ‘fake’ mailers

By Leo Place

SAN MARCOS — Accusations of fake endorsement guides and misleading mailers are flying between local Republicans supporting opposing candidates in county and state-level races, with some mailers drawing the ire of the state Republican party.

The slate mailers focus on two Republican battles in the upcoming June 2 primary — the San Diego County Board of Supervisors District 5 race between Vista Mayor John Franklin and San Marcos Mayor Rebecca

Jones, and the race for the 40th State Senate seat between San Marcos City Councilmember Ed Musgrove and Kristie BruceLane.

The official Republican Party of San Diego County has not endorsed anyone for either of these seats because it has been unable to reach a consensus. Despite this, various mailers sent to voters and online

voting guides have touted “official” Republican endorsements in both races.

A group known as SD Republicans, which touts itself as the “only San Diego Republican leadership endorsement guide,” has sent mailers and launched a website endorsing Franklin for the District 5 supervisor seat and Musgrove for the 40th Senate seat.

SD Republicans is led by former San Diego County Republican Party chair Corey Gustafson, who is also running for

the 50th Congressional District. The guide has also been shared on social media by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Bonsall), who opted not to seek reelection in the redrawn 48th Congressional District. At the same time, Carl DeMaio, the 75th District Assemblymember and founder of Reform California, has sent out an opposing mailer with the title “Republican Official Endorsement” that supports Jones and Bruce-Lane while firing shots at Franklin and

Del Mar rejects Seaside Ridge bluff housing plan

By Leo Place

DEL MAR —

The Del Mar City Council formally rejected the proposed 259unit Seaside Ridge project in a hearing on May 19, months after receiving a warning letter from the state Attorney General’s Office demanding that the city process the project application.

The 259-unit Seaside Ridge project at 959 Border Avenue on the city’s North Bluff was first proposed by landowner Carol Lazier in 2022.

The city has repeatedly found the application to be incomplete due to several missing materials, including a rezoning application, a Local Coastal Program amendment, a coastal development permit, and conditional use permits.

Lazier has insisted that she does not have to submit these materials and is currently suing the city to compel approval of the project.

She argues that the city is required to process the project under the builder’s remedy law, which allows projects with affordable units to bypass zoning requirements if the city in which they are proposed lacks a certified Housing Element.

After a judge told her she had to exhaust all administrative remedies at the city level before proceeding with a lawsuit, Lazier asked the city for a de novo hearing to appeal the incomplete determination. The City Council rejected this request in September.

A few months later, in a December letter, California Attorney General Rob Bonta told Del Mar officials that they must provide the Seaside Ridge developers with a straightforward process by either approving or denying the project.

The city appeared to take that step on Tuesday, although city leaders did not mention the AG letter during the meeting.

Principal Planner Matt Bator reiterated that city staff still consider the project application incomplete and recommended that the City Council deny the project on that basis.

Council members unanimously agreed to deny the project without any discussion.

“It’s been staff’s position that the proposed project is inconsistent with the certified Local Coastal Program, community plan, and municipal code,” Bator said. “The applicant has continually refused to submit the required planning applications as stated by the city, as well as the materials, fees, and deposits necessary for the city to process a Local Coastal Program amendment, to change the land use density, and rezone the property.”

Seaside Ridge representative Darren Pudgil said a final decision on the project was long overdue, and they will continue their lawsuit against the city.

“Under threat from the California Department of Justice, the city of Del Mar has finally taken action on Seaside Ridge after three and a half years of avoidable delays. By denying this affordable housing project, though, the city council has violated not just one state law, but several, which further exposes the city’s taxpayers to millions of dollars in legal fees and state fines,” Pudgil said in a statement to

Arguments

Seaside Ridge proposes nine structures ranging from two to five stories in height. Due to a density bonus inclusion, Seaside Ridge requests waivers of city standards for building height, floor area ratio, and slope grading, and concessions for increased lot coverage, decreased parking stall depth, and reduced setbacks.

At Tuesday’s meeting, California Coastal Works principal Joseph Smith, who is representing the project, denied that the application is incomplete and said the project has many merits.

Smith noted that the project includes 85 affordable units (ranging from moderate to extremely-low income), which could help the city to meet its affordable housing requirements under its 6th Cycle Housing Element.

He also shared the plans for public access along the bluff-top, parking that exceeds state requirements, and the thoughtful design.

“This project is about affordable housing and public access. In fact, I would say it’s a first-of-its-kind project, especially in the coastal zone of San Diego County. It’s an attempt to balance state laws in the government code and with the Coastal Act and the public resources code,” Smith said.

Because Del Mar’s 6th

Cycle Housing Element was still uncertified when the Seaside Ridge project was submitted in the fall of 2022, Seaside Ridge argues that the builder’s remedy law requires the city to ministerially approve the project.

However, the city argues that builder’s remedy does not apply, citing state law stating that a preliminary application will be voided if the project size changes by more than 20%.

Bator said the preliminary application measured the project at 308,968 square feet, while the subsequent Coastal Development Permit application listed a square footage of 396,259, representing a 28% increase.

“The city is not required to process the submitted housing project as a by-right, builder’s remedy project, and despite the applicant’s arguments, the project lost its vested rights when the additional level of underground parking was added to the project,” Bator said.

Seaside Ridge claims the original square footage of 308,968 square feet was a clerical error and that the design actually started at 338,264 square feet, representing growth of around 17%.

“It is unfortunate that this continues to be a point of contention when it could have been cleared up a long time ago, as confirmed by a simple comparison between the submitted plans,” Smith

said.

Seaside Ridge also alleges that the project is allowed to move forward under another law known as the Permit Streamlining Act, which is unrelated to the builder’s remedy.

According to a letter from attorney Brooke Miller of law firm Sheppard Mullin, when Seaside Ridge appealed the city’s determination that the project application was incomplete, the city was required to provide a final written determination within 60 days of the appeal hearing.

She said that because the city failed to issue this determination after the September hearing, the application was automatically deemed complete.

Pudgil said the city could be forced to pay $2.6 million or more in fines if they continue to refuse to approve the project.

“We are optimistic the court will rule favorably,” he said.

Future housing

While Del Mar leaders have made it clear they don’t accept the Seaside Ridge project as proposed for the North Bluff, they recognize that some form of development on the bluff is inevitable.

The city agreed on Tuesday to initiate a rezoning process for the North Bluff that would create a new zone known as RMNorth. It would affect the Lazier property, an adjacent 5.5-acre site owned by Delfina Del Mar Development LLC known as the Whalen property, and potentially a four-acre site owned by 101 Border LLC.

Colorado billionaire likes playing with fire

By JP Theberge

The Harmony Grove Village South saga has a new chapter, and this one is playing out behind closed doors in Sacramento.

A Colorado billionaire is using the state legislature to get what he’s been unable to get in court.

Senate Bill 1256, authored by San Diego-based Senate Minority Leader Assemblymember Brian Jones (R-Santee), would kill a pending wildfire safety lawsuit against the Harmony Grove Village South project near Escondido, and the bill’s sole listed supporter is RCS Harmony Partners, the entity owned by Marcel Arsenault, the Colorado-based developer behind the project.

The Harmony Grove Village South project has been in and out of court since 2018, when a coalition of residents and environmental groups first challenged its approval on fire-safety and greenhouse-gas concerns.

After years of litigation that led to the full rescission of approvals, the developer resubmitted its application. The county reapproved the project in 2025 but allowed the developer to bypass the fire-safety review required by its own code.

Senate Bill 1256 is the result of a gut-and-amend process in Sacramento, the kind of maneuver that leaves local voters scratching their heads while outside special interest money quietly rewrites state law to serve a single developer’s bottom line.

The county’s own fire chief has said publicly: “Today, you could not pass that project without secondary access.”

Political fraud

Tom Steyer didn’t see it coming.

Last week, reparations activists cornered the billionaire gubernatorial candidate outside his SUV in a Los Angeles parking lot, demanding to know where he stood on direct payments to descendants of enslaved Americans. It looked like an ambush. It wasn’t. It was a debt collection.

During his 2020 presidential campaign, Steyer made reparations his calling card with Black voters. He spent $20 million on television and radio ads in South Carolina and claimed to be the only candidate in the field supporting them, leading to strong polling among Black voters. When the campaign ended, he kept the promise alive, endorsing federal legislation to study reparations and pledging to work toward its passage.

Now he is running for governor of California, courting the same constituency, and the people he spent millions cultivating have a simple question: When do we get paid?

Steyer is not alone in having to answer. His parking lot encounter exposes one of the most egregious acts of political malpractice in California history.

In 2020, California convened a first-in-thenation Reparations Task Force. It ran for three years, issued more than 100 recommendations, and produced payment estimates reaching $1.2 million per eligible individual. At public hearings, activists dismissed that as insufficient — $5 million was the floor, they said, citing San Francisco’s own separate proposal.

Economists put the aggregate cost at over $800 billion, roughly three times California’s entire annual budget. Allowing those expectations to propagate without correction is a detachment from fiscal reality, not a policy disagreement.

political cover without the burden of results. Legislative theater with a bureaucratic souvenir. Coastal San Diego’s own representatives played along — state Sen. Catherine Blakespear and Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner voted repeatedly for reparations legislation, apparently unconcerned that the program was fiscally impossible, constitutionally indefensible, and going nowhere. Their constituents might reasonably ask what problems, exactly, they were solving.

The constitutional obstacles were never seriously engaged — and here the malpractice becomes something closer to fraud. Federal standing doctrine requires a concrete, particularized injury traceable to a specific defendant. Descendants of enslaved people were not themselves enslaved.

The Elfin Forest Harmony Grove Town Council and the Endangered Habitats League filed a new lawsuit over that failure, and SB 1256 would bar it, even though the county’s approval relied on fire safety standards more than a decade old.

HGVS sits in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, in a community that was directly in the path of the 2014 Cocos Fire, which destroyed more than 30 homes in the neighborhood.

Sited on a dead-end bowl, it still lacks an adequate secondary evacuation route that dozens of experts say will create a serious entrapment risk during the

The statewide implications go beyond this project. Observers say it could shut the door on legitimate fire-safety lawsuits against other high-risk developments across California, voiding residents’ existing legal rights to protect their communities.

SB 1256 is the result of a gut-and-amend process in Sacramento, the kind of maneuver that leaves local voters scratching their heads while outside special interest money quietly rewrites state law to serve a single developer’s bottom line.

It has so far cleared two committees in the State Senate and is likely to head to the Assembly.

If this concerns you, make your voice heard. Contact your local state Senator and Assemblymember and tell them that California residents deserve the right to challenge development decisions that put lives at risk — and that no out-of-state developer’s bottom line is worth taking that right away.

Theberge is the vice chair of the Elfin Forest Harmony Grove Town Council.

Gavin Newsom owns the largest share of the blame. He commissioned the Task Force, accepted its report, then spent two years vetoing the bills that would have made it real. He signed the symbolic measures — the apology, the Bureau for Descendants of American Slavery, the ancestry research funding — and killed everything with a price tag. College admissions preferences, eminent domain restitution, housing loan set-asides: vetoed.

The target constituency got a certificate of regret and a new agency with no mandate to pay anyone. The calculation was straightforward: keep the issue alive, keep the constituency mobilized, and let the courts absorb the blame.

The Legislative Black Caucus shares the blame.

The “Road to Repair” package gave every participant

The causation problem is equally fatal: California entered the union in 1850 as a free state and is not a successor-in-interest to antebellum slaveholders in any cognizable sense. Then there’s the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause, the Supreme Court’s strict scrutiny doctrine reinforced in SFFA v. Harvard (2023), and California’s own Proposition 209. The program fails on multiple independent grounds. Every legislator who advanced it knew this or should have. The reparations push was not a good-faith policy effort that fell short. It was constituency exploitation masquerading as justice — designed to keep Black voters loyal to a party that had ceased to deliver anything tangible in exchange for that loyalty. It may prove the most counterproductive

Encinitas debates Swami’s Overlook area changes

By Cameron Adams ENCINITAS — En-

cinitas officials will study options and costs to improve the Swami’s Overlook parking area along Cornish Drive on both sides of Santa Fe Drive.

The City Council directed staff to analyze different options and costs to address safety concerns at the popular sunset-viewing spot overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Councilmember Joy Lyndes initiated the discussion, noting that the current conditions are unsafe for both pedestrians and vehicles, as indicated by neighbor feedback.

“They’re worried about people twisting their ankle,” Lyndes said. “It’s been brought to our attention as a city that this is a dangerous kind of ankle-twisting hazard for people getting in and out of cars.”

Lyndes added that the dirt surface creates dust for nearby residents and has caused vehicles to slide down the hill onto private property. Photos of a car and a truck that had slid down the hillside were presented during the May 13 public meeting.

the budget to fund the parking overlook if it is a sanctioned parking lot,” Encinitas resident Molly Hintlian said. “We have some other priority paving projects that need immediate attention.”

Mike James, the city’s deputy city manager, said a preliminary “very conservative estimate” put the project cost at about $63,000. The largest portion of that estimate — roughly $34,000 — would cover contractor construction, site preparation and vegetation and debris removal. Installing curb stops would cost an additional $12,000, according to the estimate.

City Manager Jennifer Campbell said the area is considered a road shoulder within the city’s right-ofway, not a parking lot, meaning that drainage improvements and Americans with

“What happens now is because it’s dirt and there’s ruts, the cars have difficulty getting traction, and when they’re backing out, they spin their wheels and they create dust and in some cases they lose control and they go down over the hill into the Swami’s property,” Lyndes said.

Disabilities Act compliance would not be required.

“This isn’t a big project, it’s really a repair,” Lyndes said. “This is something the city does when we see there’s a situation that might need some fixing.”

The council voted 4-1 to move forward with a more detailed analysis of improvement options for the overlook, including itemized cost estimates for future consideration.

Deputy Mayor Jim O’Hara cast the lone dissenting vote, saying he believed the preliminary estimates were unrealistically low.

He said he was “not opposed to freshening the area

up” but questioned the projected costs.

“There’s no way this is a $60,000 project,” O’Hara said, adding that without broader public demand for repairs, “maybe its a down the road project, but I look around the city and I see … a lot of things that we need to do.”

“I did see it was full of cars tonight and not one of them came up here to the meeting to complain about it,” O’Hara said.

During public comment, some residents supported the project, while others raised concerns about costs and potential liability issues.

“I’m concerned about

Council members Luke Shaffer and Marco San Antonio also questioned the low estimate, with Shaffer saying he would not support the project if costs increased significantly.

“I’m kind of worried that if we do too many improvements,” San Antonio said, “that it triggers it to become a parking lot.”

Mayor Bruce Ehlers compared the proposal to improvements made along South Vulcan Avenue and the resurfacing of the Olivenhain Meeting Hall parking lot from dirt to gravel.

“Oh my goodness, it just reduced the amount of maintenance incredibly,” Ehlers said.

San Antonio said he favored the gravel-rock concept, noting he was familiar with the Olivenhain Meeting Hall improvements because he was married there and regularly walks through the area.

“That parking lot was crazy, those ruts were serious ruts,” he said. “That rock actually did a really good job and I feel like over time, it’s pretty much stayed almost the same — fairly flat.”

Lyndes said she also supported the idea of a gravel-rock surface.

Ehlers said he wanted to ensure that any construction work stayed within the city’s right-of-way and did not impact private property, but he overall supported improving the overlook.

“I believe $65,000 — or even $100,000 — is a good use and makes the overall area safer, while keeping it relatively natural,” he said.

The Dire Need for A Wisdom Society

THE

LENS THROUGH WHICH HUMANITY SEES REALITY

Human beings often assume they experience reality objectively.

We trust our senses, our thoughts, and our conclusions. Yet what we perceive is not reality itself, but a filtered interpretation shaped by memory, conditioning, culture, emotion, fear, desire, and personal experience.

Consciousness acts as the lens through which every individual interprets existence.

Two people may witness the same event and leave with entirely different understandings. Entire societies may develop conflicting worldviews while believing themselves completely correct. Much of human conflict emerges not only from external conditions, but from the limitations of perception itself.

Modern civilization has devoted enormous energy toward understanding the external universe through science and technology, yet far less attention has been given to understanding consciousness itself.

This imbalance may be one of humanity’s greatest blind spots.

THE CONDITIONED MIND

From birth, human consciousness begins absorbing information.

Family, religion, politics, education, media, trauma, success, fear, and cultural identity all shape how individuals interpret reality. Over time, these influences become deeply internalized, and many people mistake conditioning for truth.

Human beings often defend beliefs not because they are objectively correct, but because those beliefs become tied to identity, security, and belonging.

The conditioned mind seeks certainty and resists uncertainty. Yet wisdom requires openness.

True understanding begins when individuals recognize how much of their thinking may be inherited, unconscious, or incomplete.

PERCEPTION AND EMOTIONAL REALITY

Human beings do not merely think reality. They feel it. Emotions shape perception far more than many realize. Fear narrows awareness. Anger distorts judgment. Anxiety magnifies threat.

Modern society increasingly amplifies this instability.

Constant media stimulation, political outrage, social comparison, economic pressure, and digital distraction place the human nervous system under continuous strain. Many individuals rarely experience silence, reflection, or inner stillness.

As a result, consciousness often remains reactive rather than aware. A reactive society becomes easier to divide and manipulate.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF AWARENESS

Human progress depends not only upon external innovation, but upon the development of self awareness.

Self awareness allows individuals to observe thoughts, emotions, and assumptions without becoming completely controlled by them. Without awareness, people often repeat inherited patterns and become trapped in cycles of fear, ego, anger, and unconscious behavior.

But when awareness deepens, perception begins to change.

Individuals become less reactive and more capable of compassion. They begin recognizing the interconnected nature of life.

Wisdom emerges when consciousness becomes capable of observing itself.

HUMANITY AT A CROSSROADS

Civilization now possesses extraordinary technological power. Artificial intelligence, biotechnology, automation, surveillance systems, and digital communication continue advancing at unprecedented speed.

Yet technology alone cannot determine whether humanity’s future becomes peaceful or

Why do human beings often see reality so differently, even when experiencing the same world? In Evolving With the Infinite, Dietmar Rothe explores how consciousness shapes perception itself. Thoughts, emotions, conditioning, fear, and personal experience all influence the way individuals interpret existence. As modern life grows increasingly reactive and distracted, Rothe argues that self awareness and inner clarity may be essential to humanity’s future.

A society lacking wisdom may use advanced technology to deepen division, addiction, manipulation, and conflict. A more conscious society may instead use technology to reduce suffering and improve human life.

Humanity therefore faces a profound question: Can consciousness evolve quickly enough to responsibly guide the immense power civilization now possesses?

Ponto sewer fix in works

By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD — Carls-

bad awarded a $433,300 contract to a San Diego-based construction firm to repair manholes in the western portion of the city.

The City Council unanimously approved the contract as part of the consent calendar during its May 19 meeting.

Palm Engineering Construction Company submitted the lowest responsive bid of two proposals for the Ponto Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation Project, according to city documents.

The project includes rehabilitating nine sewer access holes along the North Ponto Interceptor pipeline.

The rehabilitation work includes repairing internal cracks, installing structural liners in the access holes, and replacing frames and covers to meet current city standards, according to the documents.

Palm is also contracted to replace 5-footsquare concrete pads at four locations and add new pads at the remaining five sites.

According to the documents, the access holes are about 50 years old and “experiencing significant corrosion.”

Palm’s bid came in below the city engineer’s estimate of $590,000 for the project, according to the documents.

The city also budgeted an $87,000 contingency and estimated nearly $250,000 in management, biological monitoring and other administrative costs, according to the documents.

Construction is expected to begin in August 2026 to align with the dry season and avoid impacts to sensitive wildlife species and nesting birds, according to the documents. An environmental inspector will monitor construction activities.

The Escondido City Council recently amended the city’s homeless encampment ordinance to streamline cleanup and enforcement.

Escondido fast-tracks encampment cleanups

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO —

The city is updating its homeless encampment ordinance to reduce the number of trips staff make to clean up encampments, saving both time and money.

The Escondido City Council unanimously approved amendments to its camping ordinance on May 13 that further define abatement, reasonable notice and alignment with state law regarding the storage of recovered property.

The new ordinance defines what constitutes “unattended” or “abandoned property” as well as “recreational areas.” Unattended property refers to items with discernible value that are present while the owner is absent, while abandoned property refers to unusable or damaged items with no apparent use.

Recreational areas now include spaces outside the scope of the current ordinance, such as children’s playgrounds, changing areas and locker rooms, school athletic fields and attached bathrooms.

Another issue with the current ordinance is that it requires staff to post a 24hour notice on encampment structures. City officials said that requirement can force staff into close proximity with encampment residents, potentially creating conflict.

The 24-hour notice requirement also applies to abandoned encampments, creating additional costs for the city by requiring a second trip to remove debris left behind. Officials said it also creates a perception among residents that the city is not responding quickly enough to reported blight.

Under the proposed ordinance, reasonable notice requirements have been modified to provide greater flexibility for faster cleanup of debris in the public right of way while still allowing individuals a humane opportunity to retrieve their belongings, according to city staff.

“This does not give any-

body the authority to just go and start cleaning up encampments,” said Mayor Dane White.

Although Councilmember Consuelo Martinez supported the change, she said it was a bandaid over the broader issue of homelessness in the city.

“I would like to do more than just move folks along, but I understand that we have to act and the residents are tired,” she said. “I still think we need to go beyond this – this is not the solution, but we do need to show our residents we’re listening.”

Staff also acknowledged that the amendment does not solve the “complicated problem of homelessness” but said it would improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the original ordinance.

Business district

The city has also agreed to support the formation of a new business improvement district in the downtown area.

In a 4-0 vote on May 13, the Escondido City Council authorized the city manager to sign a petition and ballot to form the Downtown Escondido Property Business Improvement District, or PBID. Councilmember Consuelo Martinez recused herself because she rents a booth at the Escondido Antique Mall within the proposed district.

A PBID is a special assessment district in which property owners levy assessments on themselves to fund services beyond those provided by the city, including enhanced street cleaning, additional security and lighting, and marketing events.

The city owns 30 parcels within the proposed PBID, resulting in an annual assessment of $219,759 — nearly one-third of the district’s overall budget. Assessments could also increase by up to 7% annually, as determined by the district’s management.

City staff began exploring the formation of a downtown PBID in 2022.

O’side hemp farm turns to cannabis

Council grants permit for South Morro Hills

site

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE — The

city has agreed to allow a South Morro Hills hemp grower to transition to cultivating cannabis instead, a shift local operators say reflects the rapidly changing economics of California’s hemp industry.

While hemp and cannabis come from the same plant family and often look and smell alike, the distinction lies in their THC content. Hemp is legally defined as cannabis containing no more than 0.3% THC, the psychoactive compound that produces a high, while cannabis contains higher concentrations.

Oceanside.

City Manager Jonathan Borrego said city staff is currently drafting a spending plan for the city’s cannabis tax revenue. So far, all revenue collected from the tax has been directed into the general fund.

Cannabis will be cultivated within the property’s 25 existing hoop houses previously used for hemp cultivation.

Hoop houses are plastic-covered, unheated growing structures that protect plants from the elements and allow growers to extend the growing season. All cultivation will take place indoors using a mix of artificial and natural light. The operation is expected to employ up to eight workers and maintain a 24-hour armed security guard on site.

Efforts paused during the campaign for the city’s onecent sales tax measure but resumed last year after the measure passed.

The district would cover approximately 26 square blocks of varying size. Boundaries include restaurants, retailers, service businesses, office buildings, market-rate and residential housing, hotels, industrial properties, and civic buildings such as City Hall, Grape Day Park and the Escondido Public Library.

Late last year, Greystar, owner of Marlowe Palomar Heights, and the North County Transit District, two major downtown stakeholders, informed the city they would not participate in the proposed district.

Parcels in Benefit Zone 1 would pay a higher fee but also receive greater benefits than those in Benefit Zone 2 because of their location in the district’s core area.

To form the district, petitions from private and public property owners within the proposed boundaries must represent at least 50% of the first year’s total assessment. Once verified, the City Council will consider a resolution of intention and mail ballots to all property owners in the district, who will then vote on whether to establish the PBID.

Carol Rogers, a board member of the Escondido Downtown Business Association and chair of the Escondido Public Art Commission, voiced support for the PBID.

South Morro Hills 47, LLC applied last year for a conditional use permit to grow cannabis at 1319 Sleeping Indian Road. The business already held a local cannabis cultivation license since 2019, but needed the permit to begin cannabis operations.

The Oceanside City Council unanimously approved the permit on May 20, two months after the Oceanside Planning Commission also granted unanimous approval.

The transition marks a major change for one of Southern California’s remaining hemp growers.

Duane DeLarco, chief operating officer for South Morro Hills 47, said the company’s hemp business became increasingly difficult after Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an emergency ban on intoxicating hemp products. Since then, he said, the business has largely been limited to selling to out-of-state growers.

“There is no local benefit to continuing to sell hemp,” DeLarco said, noting that cannabis cultivation would instead generate local tax revenue for

A double-layer fence also will surround the property, along with 16 360-degree surveillance cameras mounted along the fence line and one camera installed on each hoop house.

Odor is not expected to be a major issue because no outdoor cultivation is planned. All cannabis cultivation will occur within a negative-pressure system equipped with carbon scrubbers and fans fitted with exterior misting bars. If additional odor control becomes necessary, neutralizers can be added to the wall evaporative cooling system.

The cannabis crop will occupy a 1.88-acre portion of the larger 78.61-acre property, which hosts a range of agricultural operations in South Morro Hills, Oceanside’s agricultural region.

The property has been used for farming since the 1960s, and the Campbell family has owned the site since 1994. South Morro Hills 47, in its 25-year lease agreement with Campbell Farms, pledged that the

Pets of the Week

GOGO YUBARI is pet of the week at Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She is a 1-year-old, 8-pound, female domestic short hair cat with a red tabby coat.

Gogo has been staying in foster care with a trained RCHS volunteer. According to her foster family, Gogo can be sensitive to fast movements and loud sounds. She will do best in a calm home with a family that will give her time to settle in. Gogo loves to play and is vocal when she wants to be heard. Once she is comfortable in her new home, she might break into late night zoomies.

The $100 adoption fee includes a medical exam, spay, up-to-date vaccinations, registered microchip and a one-year license if the new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services.

Information: stop by RCHSy at 389 Requeza St., Encinitas, call 760-7536413 or visit SDpets.org.

FLASH is pet of the week at the Helen Woodward Animal Center. He is a 6-month-old Labrador retriever blend.

Flash arrived at the center when he was a tiny puppy. According to his caretakers, he is incredibly intelligent who knows exactly where his kennel is, where the play yards are and even his favorite walking routes. He does well on a leash and would make for

a great hiking companion. He loves to play in fields and with his toys for hours.

Flash’s adoption fee is $375 plus a $36 microchip fee. All pets adopted from HWAC are altered and upto-date on vaccinations and micro-chipped for identification.

Visit HWAC at 6523 Helen Woodward Way in Rancho Santa Fe. Kennels are open Wednesday-Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (by appointment only).

Information, call 858756-4117, option #1 or visit animalcenter.org.

PIKE is the San Diego Humane Society’s pet of the week. He is a 5-yearold, male, American pit bull terrier mix.

Pike is a sweetheart with a big heart and even bigger kisses. This affectionate boy loves to follow his people around. He may pull on the leash at first but will eventually settle into an easy stride. He knows how to “sit” and would thrive with positive reinforcement training and a consistent routine to help channel his enthusiasm.

Pike has a positive history with cats and children. He may prefer to be the only dog at home due to some guarding behaviors and reactivity.

Pike’s adoption fee is $165. He is located at the Oceanside Campus. Fees include spay/neuter services, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, an incentive for pet insurance and a license for residence. Information: visit sdhumane.org/adopt or call 619-299-7012.

SDA alum delivers hopeful commencement speech

By Cameron Adams ENCINITAS — Ethan

Fitzgerald wanted to use his commencement speech to soberly acknowledge the economic and geopolitical uncertainties facing his fellow George Washington University graduates while also offering hope.

Fitzgerald thanked the school president, board of trustees, his classmates and his mother at the beginning of his speech.

“I came across the country from San Diego — what I would say is the best city in the nation — to D.C., because I wanted to be close to where ideas meet action, a place where you don’t just study the world, you step into it, you feel it,” Fitzgerald said.

“And over time, I realized something simple and true: life does not give you all the answers, moments do not wait until you feel ready, they show up when least expected and ask something of you.”

Then, as Mr. Fred Rogers advised, he looked to the helpers.

“The first person I ever saw meet the moment was my mom,” Fitzgerald said from the lectern. “When I was 5, my dad passed away from cancer. Overnight, the weight of two people’s responsibilities fell on one. While grieving, my mom kept going, showing up to work, showing up for me, holding everything together when our world had fallen apart.

“She did not get to feel ready, she did not get to pause, she met the moment anyway.”

Fitzgerald told The Coast News that his mom “was the one that helped make my world whole” during that difficult period of his life.

An Encinitas native and San Dieguito Academy alumnus, Fitzgerald graduated from GWU with a master’s degree in political management and bachelor’s degrees in political and organizational sciences.

He has interned for San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria and U.S. Reps. Scott Peters

and Mike Levin.

Fitzgerald said the May 17 graduation was a “bitter-

sweet” occasion because of the relationships he built and that his time in the nation’s capital “further devel-

oped my worldview.” However, he plans to return to his hometown to pursue a career in local politics.

“I love local politics,” Fitzgerald said. “We’re going through lots of challenges right now and I think now more than ever, we need to be leaning on community.”

He said he feels “pretty comfortable public speaking” and added that he likes to give everything he does “110%.” That was on display as he addressed tens of thousands gathered on the National Mall.

Fitzgerald said that delivering the commencement speech required three rounds of auditions. He

honed the message and stories with his roommate over time before landing on the finished product.

“It’s easy to look around and feel overwhelmed by the chaos of politics, the cruelty of headlines — by the sheer weight of everything young people are being asked to carry right now,” he told his classmates.

“Class of 2026, now is our time to meet this moment.”

4S Ranch teen makes semifinal of Spelling Bee

An eighth grader from Maranatha Christian School in 4S Ranch advanced to Wednesday’s seventh round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee at Constitution Hall in Washington.

Benjamin Reinhard was eliminated on the word “lochage” to finish the competition in a tie for 31st place. He spelled it “lockage.”

Benjamin qualified for the national bee by winning the San Diego County Scripps Regional Spelling Bee in March, correctly spelling “kenosis” — the relinquishment of divine attributes by Jesus Christ in becoming human — in the 23rd round.

The 14-year-old’s interests include reading, track and cross-country, com-

puter-aided design, biking, theater and sketching, according to biographical information supplied by bee organizers.

He is also an automotive enthusiast who aspires to design cars.

Benjamin has acted in several school theater productions, including “The Wizard of Oz,” “The Matchmaker” and “The Little Mermaid.” His favorite author is young adult novelist Alan Gratz, his favorite food is beef stroganoff and his favorite subject is math.

The bee began with 247 spellers representing all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, Canada, Ghana, Nigeria, the United Arab Emirates and a Department of Defense school in Germany.

The competition is limited to students in eighth grade or below who were born on or after Sept. 1, 2011.

The bee concluded Thursday. The winner will receive $50,000 from the Scripps National Spelling Bee, along with prizes from Encyclopaedia Britannica, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and Delta Air Lines.

San Diego County has produced two national spelling bee champions: Anurag Kashyap in 2005 and Snigdha Nandipati in 2012.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF OCEANSIDE, CALIFORNIA, ADDING ARTICLE V TO CHAPTER 17 OF THE CITY CODE RELATING TO ILLEGAL FIREWORKS ABATEMENT

The City Council of the City of Oceanside (“City Council”) nds as follows:

WHEREAS, the possession, sale, and use of illegal reworks pose signi cant threats to public safety, including increased risk of structure res, wildland res, and serious bodily injury, and that such conduct constitutes a public nuisance endangering public health and safety within the meaning of Government Code section 36900(d); and

WHEREAS, the City Council nds that traditional enforcement methods are insu cient to deter violations that occur rapidly and often without direct o cer observation; and

WHEREAS, modern technology, including unmanned aircraft systems (UAS or “drones”), can safely and lawfully document reworks violations observable from public airspace, enhancing enforcement without infringing on constitutional privacy rights; and

WHEREAS, the City Council nds it necessary to establish clear administrative procedures, cost-recovery authority, and community outreach measures to promote compliance, transparency, and safety; and WHEREAS, this ordinance is adopted pursuant to the City’s police powers under Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution and Government Code Sections 38771, 36900(d), and 53069.4, authorizing local administrative enforcement and cost-recovery programs.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OCEANSIDE DOES HEREBY ADD ARTICLE V TO CHAPTER 17 OF THE OCEANSIDE CITY CODE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: Chapter 17, Article V – Illegal Fireworks Abatement Sec. 17.44. Purpose and Intent.

The purpose of this article is to enhance public safety by deterring the possession, sale, and use of illegal reworks; to establish administrative penalties and cost recovery for violations; to authorize the use of drones for lawful observation; and to provide for coordinated public outreach and enforcement between the Police and Fire Departments. Administrative penalties imposed under this article are adopted pursuant to Government Code section 53069.4 and Government Code section 36900(d). They are intended as a local enforcement mechanism independent of penalties imposed under the Health and Safety Code. The conduct prohibited in this article shall constitute a public nuisance subject to abatement under the procedures set forth herein. The remedies provided in this Article are cumulative and in addition to any other administrative, civil, or criminal remedies available under this Code or applicable law.

Sec. 17.45. De nitions.

(a) “Dangerous reworks” shall have the meaning provided in California Health and Safety Code § 12505.

(b) “Host” means any person who owns, rents, leases, or otherwise controls real property and knowingly permits or allows illegal reworks activity on that property.

(c) “Drone” or “Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)” means any aircraft operated without the possibility of direct human intervention from within or on the aircraft.

(b) It shall be unlawful for any host to knowingly allow, permit, or promote the use of illegal reworks on property under their control.

(c) A rebuttable presumption of host knowledge shall arise when illegal reworks are ignited on or immediately adjacent to the host’s property.

(d) Each separate ignition, use, or possession constitutes a distinct violation. For enforcement purposes, the City may treat multiple related acts occurring during a single event or episode as one violation, and a violation may include any illegal reworks activity observed during a single incident or event, as determined by the enforcing department, rather than each individual ignition. No property shall be cited more than once within any twenty-four (24) hour period for violations arising from the same incident.

Sec. 17.47. Aerial and Electronic Observation as Evidence.

(a) The City may utilize drones, xed cameras, or other electronic means to detect, document, and record reworks violations observable from public airspace or vantage points where no reasonable expectation of privacy exists.

(b) Video or photographic evidence collected by City personnel or contractors under this section may serve as competent evidence in any administrative proceeding or civil enforcement action.

(c) All UAS operations shall comply with applicable FAA regulations and City policy. Footage unrelated to a reworks violation shall be deleted within 30 days unless retained for evidentiary or training purposes.

(d) Drones shall not be used to intentionally observe the interior or curtilage of any dwelling without a warrant or exigent circumstances.

Sec. 17.48. Administrative Penalties.

Violations of this article shall be subject to administrative penalties as fol-

Nothing in this article limits the authority of the City or its o cers to pursue criminal, civil, or other remedies authorized by law for reworks violations. In addition, the nuisance abatement procedures established in Articles I through IV of this Chapter 17 remain available as additional or alternative enforcement tools at the City’s discretion.

Digital outreach in AI era digital 101

By Rich Henrich

For businesses across Coastal San Diego — from Carlsbad and Encinitas to Oceanside and La Jolla — artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping digital marketing, local search, and customer engagement. The biggest shift businesses must understand is that traditional SEO alone is no longer enough.

AI-powered search tools from Google and platforms like Meta are increasingly delivering direct answers to consumers before they ever click a website. That means businesses now compete not only for rankings but also for visibility within AI-generated search summaries, map results, and conversational recommendations.

Recent industry studies show that more than half of searches now end without a click, making local authority and credibility more important than ever.

For Coastal San Diego businesses, this creates both risk and opportunity. Restaurants, tourism brands, surf shops, wellness clinics, real estate firms, and hospitality companies that consistently publish authentic, location-based content are far more likely to appear in AI-generated recommendations.

Google is also placing greater emphasis on recent reviews, updated Google Business Profiles, local photos, and consistent business information across platforms.

Another major update is the rise of “Generative Engine Optimization” or GEO — optimizing content specifically for AI discovery. However, Google recently announced crackdowns on manipulative AI SEO tactics and spam strategies designed to game AI results. Businesses that rely on low-quality AI-written blogs or keyword stuffing could incur penalties rather than gains.

The businesses winning in 2026 are combining AI efficiency with authentic human storytelling. Shortform video, customer testimonials, hyperlocal content, and strong brand trust are outperforming generic automated marketing. In a tourism-driven market, businesses that embrace AI strategically — while remaining authentic and community-focused — will have a major competitive advantage moving forward. Don’t forget to smile at your customers and make real connections.

Art Exhibition(ism)

Visitors at the Fondation Beyeler, an art museum in Switzerland, recently had the option to peruse the art while wearing only bathing suits, Yahoo! News reported on May 1.

“It’s a rather unusual experience,” said one visitor in a colorful sequined bikini, noting that “You’re always looking” to see if other visitors are wearing swimwear.

Visitors could change into their bathing suits in changing rooms at the museum, or they could show up in their one-piece, bikini or trunks and have the entry fee waived. Some roamed around barefoot, while others donned swimming caps. A few could be found sunbathing in the museum’s garden.

Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, who headed up the project, was inspired by artist Paul Cezanne’s paintings of people bathing. “You can feel from Cezanne paintings that he wants to be inspired by nature and expose that organic experience of the nature, of the people,” Ana Lopes, a 34-year-old architect, said. “Dressing in swimwear is close to that, because you are almost naked.” [Yahoo!

Class of 2026

Jericho High School in Nassau County, Long Island, will have not one, not two, but 21 valedictorians to represent the 300 seniors graduating in June, UPI reported on May 18. The school determines valedictorians based on unweighted letter grades. “It shows a lot of success,” co-principal Brian Cummings said. “Historically, this is the way we’ve done it with letter grades. The difference between a 99.8 and a 99.83 is insignificant, so letter grades really capture what we represent.”

With such a large number of valedictorians, not all of them will be able to give a commencement speech, so school officials have had to get creative. “We’re going to put them at the front of the procession,” Cummings said. “We’re [also] creating a video that we’re going to share with the community about their accomplishments.” [UPI, 5/18/26]

Wrong Order

A man who purchased a bag of greens from a Woolworths in Western Australia found more green than expected inside, reported 102.5 ABC Perth on May 17.

The Australian man, unnamed in the report, opened the lettuce and discovered a small frog among the leaves. “He’s the most casual Australian ever, and he’s like, ‘Bro, I’ve got a lettuce, like a frog in my lettuce,’” his roommate Laura Jones, a native New Zealander, said.

Your messaging. You want macaroni and cheese for lunch. Mom said no, but she’s not here. How do you ask for what you want?

TikTok, where millions of viewers caught a glimpse of the amphibious stowaway. “It’s quite a decent-sized frog for a big adventure,” Billie Le Pine, another roommate, said. “The bag of lettuce does have holes in it to keep the produce fresh, so he had a snack and some air on his way over.”

The trio named the frog Greg and released him at a nearby dam. Woolworths said the incident is under investigation and called it “an isolated event with no other reported cases.” “I’m just glad Greg is back in his natural habitat,” Le Pine said. [ABC, 5/17/26]

Owl Be Seeing You

An owl in Utah is soaring to new heights after undergoing surgery to repair its concrete-damaged feathers, UPI reported on May 19. The owl was found inside a concrete mixer in St. George, Utah, back in November, and taken to a rehabilitation center at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab. Workers gave the owl a series of 20-minute baths to remove the concrete, which covered 25% of its body.

Despite the team’s care, the owl’s feathers were damaged in a way that would have kept it from flying silently, a survival necessity for great horned owls. “That led the Wild Friends team to take a training course about a procedure they had never done before: imping, which requires using donor feathers and adhesive to replace the raptor feathers,” the sanctuary said in a news release. “A wildlife rescue in

Your unique qualities. The US economy continues to grow slowly, and nursery school graduates are experiencing a 100% unemployment rate. You’d better be prepared to show how you’re different from 4 million other 5-year-olds, or your neighbor, Mr. Nichols, will choose Tommy from down the street to take care of his cats.

As someone who has successfully grown into big pants, I can report that

Northern Utah gave Wild Friends feathers from a great horned owl of similar size who had passed away.”

Four staff members worked for 90 minutes to reconstruct the feathers, replacing 10 primary feathers and one secondary feather on the bird’s right wing. “The first few feathers were extremely nerve-wracking, but as we got into the groove, the imping became more comfortable, and everything went smoothly,” supervisor Bart Richwalski said. After the owl came out of anesthesia, Richwalski used a decibel reader to measure the sound of the owl’s flight. With all looking good, staff released the owl and it flew away on its own. “I don’t know that my heart was beating until I saw him leave. I was beside myself, knowing that after all this time, he was healthy and back in the wild,” Richwalski said. “It was such a good feeling.” [UPI, 5/19/26]

An Atlanta neighborhood is dealing with an unusual kind of pest: empty Waymo vehicles -- autonomous, driverless cars owned by Alphabet Inc. -circling cul-de-sacs, ABC News reported on May 15. “I think yesterday morning, we had 50 cars that came through between 6 and 7,” one resident said. “It’s almost every little cul-de-sac in our area, so I think it’s a problem,” said another.

The glut of robotaxis worries residents. “We’re families, we have small animals and pets, got kids getting on the bus in the morning and it just doesn’t feel safe to have that traffic,” one resident said.

One neighbor even tried putting up their own sign to deter the vehicles, but it caused a traffic jam of Waymos turning around to get out.

Residents have attempted to reach out to local and state officials, as well as to Waymo itself. In a statement, Waymo said that it is “committed to being good neighbors” and “we take community feedback seriously and have already worked with our fleet partner to address this routing behavior.” [ABC News, 5/15/26]

Unified Incident Commander Craig Covey and Garden Grove Police Department Chief Amir El-Farra broke the good news to residents at a special meeting of the Garden Grove City Council on the emergency Tuesday night.

“I'm happy to report the lifting of evacuations in its entirety immediately,” El-Farra said. “Everyone can return to their homes. Thank you for your understanding and patience.”

Roughly 16,000 people remained under evacuation orders Tuesday due to continued concerns about the storage tank at the Garden Grove aerospace facility.

Western Avenue will remain closed for emergency vehicles, Covey added.

The tank contains methyl methacrylate, a flammable chemical used to manufacture acrylic plastics. Officials said firefighters have been conducting temperature checks only at night, when the tank is not exposed to direct sunlight.

The temperature in the tank was “stable (Tuesday), it actually dropped down to 90 degrees,” Covey said.

Evacuation orders for about 34,000 people were lifted over the weekend when officials determined that a crack in the main storage tank had relieved pressure inside, eliminating the risk of a possible explosion that had prompted the large-scale evacuations.

Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency Saturday, and President Donald Trump approved a federal emergency declaration Monday.

Coast Villas breaks ground

O’side low-income housing for at-risk seniors, veterans

By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — Construction crews are ramping up work on Coast Villas, a 56-unit affordable housing project for formerly homeless or at-risk seniors and veterans with severe mental illness on South Coast Highway.

Local leaders met with the project’s developers, National CORE and the San Diego Community Housing Corporation, along with numerous other partners, to celebrate the project’s groundbreaking on May 12 at a temporary construction site near the development’s address at 1111 S. Coast Highway.

According to John Seymour of National CORE, the 56-unit project includes 28 homes reserved for seniors 55 and older earning up to 30% of the area median income and 27 homes for those at or below 50% of the area median income. Additionally, 15 homes are set aside for formerly unhoused veterans supported by the federal VASH program, 12 of which are reserved for veterans with severe mental illness.

The development will include 35 studios, 16 one-bedroom units, four two-bedroom units, and one apartment for the full-time on-site property manager.

Coast Villas is National CORE’s second affordable housing project with units set aside for veterans with severe mental illness. Greenbrier Village, a 100% affordable housing project on Apple Street, includes five units for veterans.

National CORE is also behind Mission Cove, another affordable housing project in Oceanside.

Two years ago, the Oceanside City Council approved $4.25 million from the city’s housing fund for Coast Villas, along with 40 federal project-based vouchers and 15 federal VASH vouchers for housing.

The project is also partially funded with $2.4 million from the No Place Like Home program, which initially raised concerns among some residents who feared it would resemble Windsor Pointe, a controversial affordable housing project in Carlsbad funded through the same program.

Seymour previously assured the City Council that onsite security, high-definition cameras and skilled staff would help keep Coast Villas in check. He also noted that Coast Villas would include 20% permanent

supportive housing compared with Windsor Pointe’s 50%.

The project site is a small, 0.37-acre former used-car lot within walking distance of Buccaneer Beach, the Oceanside Municipal Pier and other downtown amenities, making it a prime location for residents.

Coast Villas will feature all-electric appliances, drought-tolerant landscaping, low-flow plumbing fixtures, rooftop solar panels

and high-efficiency lighting, HVAC systems and appliances.

Residents will also have access to a 1,030-squarefoot community center, a wellness center, covered parking and laundry facilities on each floor.

At the groundbreaking ceremony, Seymour said the project aligns well with the city’s vision for smart housing growth along the Coast Highway transit corridor. It also helps address a growing local need for affordable senior housing.

“We’re living through a moment of profound demographic change as I see it,” Seymour said. “The baby boomers are retiring… The need for senior housing is just growing exponentially. We can’t keep up.”

John Wurster of co-developer San Diego Community Housing Corporation said his organization has completed nearly 350 affordable housing units throughout the county in the past seven years, with another 200 units under construction and 150 more in the pipeline.

“Both nonprofits have a core mission to provide housing to those who are underserved,” Wurster said of both developers. “That really shines in this project.”

According to Wurster, creating low-cost affordable housing is both challenging and expensive, noting it costs between $500,000 and $700,000 to build a single affordable studio apartment.

Partnerships with local governments and organiza-

tions — including the Hope Through Housing Foundation, which will provide onsite wraparound services to Coast Villas residents — were essential to making the project happen, Wurster said.

Frank Pearson, director of VA San Diego Health Care, said the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s VASH program is currently serving 127 veterans in housing units across 15 project sites throughout the county. He noted that the Greenbrier Village units were part of that success.

According to Pearson, at least 12 more project sites with 222 additional units for veterans are planned over the next three years.

“These 15 units are going to be extremely important for our veterans,” Pearson said of Coast Villas. “These veterans have gone through a lot.”

National CORE and the San Diego Community Housing Corporation have co-developed several other affordable housing projects in the region, including the recently opened Santa Fe Senior Village in Vista, which offers 54 furnished units for residents 62 and older, including two units reserved for unhoused senior veterans.

The two nonprofits are also working on the future Valley Creek Senior Apartments, a 136-unit project for low-income seniors and formerly homeless veterans in Escondido, with up to 14 units reserved for veterans. The San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved the project last year to be built on county-owned land on East Valley Parkway.

According to David Estrella, director of Housing and Community Development Services for the county, more than 60 developments have been funded through local housing trust funds, with more than $300 million invested since 2017.

“We’re now seeing a growing inventory of housing across the region,” he said, citing action that contributed financially to the project.

Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce, who represents District 1, where both Coast Villas and Greenbrier Village are located, also praised the partnerships that made the project possible.

“We take care of our own, and this project is all about making that phrase a reality,” he said.

Coast Villas is expected to be completed in 2027.

BERRY FUN

By Leo Place

Nearly 100,000 people flocked to downtown Vista for the annual Strawberry Festival on Sunday, enjoying vendors, classic contests, strawberry-themed treats, activities, and more in the city’s historical downtown.

The Vista Strawberry Festival returned to the historic downtown for its 15th year, kicking off in the morning with the sold-out Strawberry Run 5k. Festivities continued all day with live entertainment, vendors, and activities along Main Street,

Broadway, Indiana Avenue, Citrus Avenue and South Santa Fe Avenue.

Vista Chamber of Commerce CEO Rachel Beld said this year’s festival created a sense of local pride, highlighting the city’s unique charm and hospitality while also supporting local businesses and nonprofits.

“This year’s Vista Strawberry Festival exceeded expectations and was a tremendous celebration of community, local culture, and economic vitality. The en-

ergy throughout downtown Vista was incredible, and it was wonderful to see families, residents, visitors, and businesses come together to enjoy one of our community’s signature events,” Beld said.

Many attendees were dressed in their strawberry best, including families with children who participated in the Little Ms. Strawberry Shortcake Contest and strawberry costume contest.

Others put their love for strawberries to the test

during the strawberry pie and strawberry sundae eating contests.

This year’s event had over 500 vendors, with many selling strawberry-themed handmade and edible items.

As always, large crowds waited to get flats of fresh strawberries from Frazier Farms.

Musical performances took place throughout the day on various stages, along with School of Rock performances at the Avo Playhouse. The Film Hub also hosted a film festival.

“The Vista Strawberry Festival continues to be a reflection of what makes Vista such a special place to live, work, and visit,” Beld said.

While Vista has celebrated the strawberry festival since 2010, the history of the crop in the city dates back to the 1960s, when Vista shipped berries across the United States and to Europe and Asia.

At its peak, the city was known as the unofficial strawberry capital of the world.

Chauncey’s Pizza perfects art of sourdough pies

By Leo Place

SOLANA BEACH —

Since opening last year in Solana Beach, Chauncey’s Pizza & Bar has been making a name for itself with tried and true sourdough pizza and a lively, welcoming atmosphere in a beloved location along the 101 corridor.

Run by Richard Daly, Chauncey’s Pizza offers an array of pies, wings, sandwiches, burgers, salads, and pastas, plus a full bar with craft cocktails and draft beers.

Prior to opening Chauncey’s in early 2025, Daly co-ran another pizza eatery in downtown San Jose called 4th Street Pizza for 16 years, which also specialized in sourdough pies. In 2022, 4th Street was forced to close when the building was sold.

Daly moved to Carlsbad and began looking for a place in North County to open a new restaurant. He found the space at 221 North Coast Highway 101, which was the longtime home of the Tidewater Tavern that closed in 2023.

“I love North County. I’m really glad I landed here,” Daly said. “I started poking around, this space popped up, and it kind of just worked out … The location is great, and the poten-

tial is fantastic.”

While the menu offers several options, the sourdough pizza is the star, with Daly using the same dough recipe and Bay Area supplier as he has for years.

Rather than yeast or other leavening agents used in other breads, sourdough rises thanks to a mix of fermented water, flour, and bacteria that lends the desired tangy flavor.

Sourdough also requires a more labor-intensive process than other types of crusts. Daly gives the dough several days of proofing, or rising, in the refrigerator before shaping it into a crust and allowing it to proof again, and then adding the sauce, cheese, and fresh toppings.

“The rising process creates that good flavor,” he said. “We make dough daily,

multiple big batches of big dough. We do a minimum of 48 hours for that fermenting and proofing process.”

The best way to enjoy the pizza is fresh out of the oven, he said, although it can be taken in a to-go box and enjoyed at home.

Chauncey’s, named for Daly’s grandfather, retained much of the existing space while adding some modern upgrades. The space features a large indoor dining area and bar, multiple TVs, and an outdoor patio that welcomes dogs (Daly has two of his own).

Longtime residents will also recognize some nostalgic elements preserved from the Tidewater era, including the building’s diamond-shaped sign, the blue high-top tables and chairs, and the ship porthole windows facing the street.

As a newer business in town, Daly said he knew he would have to work a bit to win people over, but the Solana Beach community has

Chefs shine at 54 Hours at Rancho Bernardo Inn

Following a standout inaugural year, Rancho Bernardo Inn’s 54 Hours with James Beard Award-Winning Chefs returned this spring as a multi-day culinary celebration bringing together acclaimed chefs, winemakers, mixologists and culinary educators for an immersive weekend in North County.

Set across the resort’s sprawling grounds, guests moved among cooking demonstrations, comparative wine tastings, collaborative chef dinners, workshops and cocktail receptions throughout the weekend.

Participating chefs included Casey Thompson, Matt Vawter, Alex Seidel, Lord Maynard, Jonathan Kinsella and Ron Fougeray, bringing a collective approach emphasized that collaboration and education over celebrity.

That spirit became immediately apparent Friday afternoon as guests gathered on Rancho Bernardo Inn’s North Lawn for a seafood demonstration led by Kinsella, the inn's executive chef.

Drawing from years spent cooking in Singapore alongside chefs including Daniel Boulud, Kinsella emphasized expert technique throughout the demonstration. His Murray Cod Naked Crudo from Tasmania was simply dressed with Maldon sea salt, Meyer lemon and Frescobaldi Laudemio olive oil.

Kinsella explained the importance of a perfect “fluid slice,” cutting the fish against the grain in one continuous drawing motion rather than a sawing action.

Local bluefin tuna from the Coronados became the afternoon’s star attraction. Kinsella noted the species is now considered sustainable due to fish stocking efforts that began 15 years ago. He paired the tuna with cured olives, cucumbers, RBI garden celery, basil and spicy tomato ponzu that enhanced rather than masked the fish’s natural character.

The final preparation featured Hokkaido amberjack kama paired with makrut lime, lemongrass, serrano, coriander and coconut fish sauce. The dishes consistently reflected Kinsella’s philosophy of simplicity and precision.

One of the weekend’s educational centerpieces came during the Domaine Serene Wine Tasting Journey led by Marquee account manager Alex Hedges, who guided guests through an engaging exploration of Oregon and Burgundy wines.

Hedges condensed what felt like hours of ma-

ally acclaimed mixologist Manny Hinojosa, whose mezcal-peach-sparkling creations and Enamorados cocktails featuring Cazadores Añejo Cristalino set a lively tone for the night ahead.

Passed appetizers included Shigoku oysters with trout roe and yuzu kosho mignonette alongside chicken-fried zucchini blossoms topped with Oscietra caviar and beef fat ranch.

Inside AVANT, the seven-course collaborative dinner showcased the distinct personalities and culinary perspectives of each participating chef while maintaining a cohesive progression throughout the evening. Event producer Jeff Black guided the dinner as emcee, inviting chefs to share insights behind each course.

Fougeray opened with a sweet pea velouté layered with charred sugar snap peas, prosciutto and crème fraîche, followed by Kinsella’s refined bluefin tuna crudo paired with AXR “Ganzin” Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley.

the pairing instead shifted to a rare unblended cognac from The Last Drop.

Vawter followed with ricotta cavatelli featuring braised nettles, guanciale and wild ramp, while Seidel served a deeply satisfying duck confit congee layered with poached egg, English peas, crispy shiitake and duck skin furikake alongside Domaine Serene’s 2021 Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir.

The evening’s boldest flavors arrived with Maynard and his Filipino lechonstyle roasted pork belly paired with beluga lentils, Filipino salsa verde, fennel pollen and borage flowers. Kinsella closed with Basque cheesecake, brandied cherries and kirsch cream alongside a 2022 Castelnau de Suduiraut Sauternes from France.

terial into a tightly paced, approachable two-hour presentation exploring Domaine Serene’s Oregon roots and later expansion into Burgundy through Château de la Crée. The tasting highlighted similarities and contrasts between Burgundy and Oregon terroir, from limestone-rich soils and continental climates to Dundee Hills’ volcanic Jory soils and elevated vineyard sites.

Comparative chardonnay and pinot noir pours showcased stylistic differ-

ences between Burgundy and Oregon while reinforcing a shared commitment to restraint and precision. One standout moment came with the pour of the 2019 Domaine Serene “Aspect” Pinot Noir, a library wine from the Dundee Hills featuring darker fruit tones, smoky undertones and more pronounced tannic structure.

On Saturday, guests began the evening’s Grand Chefs Tour Dinner reception on the patio with handcrafted cocktails by nation-

One of the evening’s standout dishes came from Thompson, whose Holland asparagus with morel mousseline, roast chicken jus gras and Ossetra caviar delivered luxurious depth. Originally intended to feature whiskey,

rent density of one dwelling unit per acre. Under the city’s plan, these lots would be able to have affordable, multi-unit housing at a base density of 20 dwelling units per acre — a much lower density than what Seaside Ridge proposes.

Principal Planner Amanda Lee said that on the Lazier property, the 20-dwelling-units-per-acre zoning would allow a base density of 125 units, which could increase to a maximum of 188 units if a developer proposed a project with a 50% density bonus.

Del Mar leaders said they want to get a head start on rezoning the North Bluff in preparation for the 7th Housing Element cycle, which begins in 2030. The Lazier and Whalen properties are identified in the 6th Cycle document as contingency sites for affordable housing, if the city cannot reach an agreement with the Del Mar Fairgrounds to place affordable housing on their property.

Lee emphasized that, at this point, the North Bluff properties remain a backup plan.

“The city did not go in on the North Bluff development plan for the 6th cycle. This was always considered something we would need to do for the 7th cycle, so it would be initiating that,” she said.

However, the city may need to rezone these properties in the current cycle if it cannot reach a ground lease agreement with the Del Mar Fairgrounds by November to develop affordable housing on its property.

State law requires 50% of the city’s lower-income units to be located on vacant property, and the city is planning to build at least 61 units on the Fairgrounds property to meet its affordable housing production requirements.

Consultants for the Fairgrounds and the city completed pre-development studies in March and identified three sites on Fairgrounds property that are feasible for housing development, ranging from 1 to 1.5 acres.

Conceptual plans for these sites will be presented to both the city and the Fairgrounds in the coming months.

Del Mar leaders said that before they can rezone the North Bluff for multiunit housing, the city needs to complete extensive studies regarding impacts to coastal resources, public access, circulation, public safety, and utilities.

A major concern is the North Bluff’s fragility and its ability to withstand extensive grading and construction.

The North Bluff is affected by direct wave action and erosion and features several sea caves that appear as fissures at the base of the bluff and burrow as deep as 30 feet.

“The really important thing in this location is consideration of the separation from the edge of the coastal bluff and the access easements,” Lee said.

Seaside Ridge developers say their project sufficiently accounts for bluff conditions and that setbacks are based on a worst-case scenario of sea-level rise. However, Bator noted that the proposed project would require 90,000 cubic yards of cut grading, including excavation to create a new street from Camino Del Mar.

Preparing for constructing affordable housing on the bluff will require amendments to the General Plan, zoning code, and LCP, Lee said. Additional envi-

ronmental studies may be needed to supplement the Environmental Impact Report adopted for the city’s 2020 Housing Element.

The council directed city staff to begin these efforts for the Whalen and Lazier properties. Councilmember Terry Gaasterland said the North Bluff is a beautiful coastal asset valued for its views, but she understands the site may be needed for affordable housing development.

“When our community plan was first created, it acknowledged the beauty of North Bluff and also the fragility of the North Bluff. That’s why it’s one unit per acre, and that’s why it’s a tiny street to get in there,” Gaasterland said.

During public comment, Carol Lazier accused the city of unnecessarily delaying housing development on the North Bluff, despite the city having already identified her property as a potential site for housing in the 6th Cycle.

“My only intention is to build affordable housing. This has been denied. Now, instead of allowing housing to move forward under the commitments the city made in its current Housing Element, this recommendation pushes development out into the 7th housing cycle,” Lazier said.

Display patriotism with a tri-colored window box

Whether it be Memorial Day, Flag Day or the Fourth of July, a decorative window box filled with red, white and blue flowering plants always fits the bill for your front porch or apartment patio. Your place will have a patriotic look, just in time for summer guests. Fill the window box with tall, spiky, red, old-fashioned gladiolus, which can hold their own as background for the frilly, white, miniature flowers of alyssum, and the pop of blue or purple lobelia.

Learning the ropes

The first gardening job I had almost 20 years ago in New York state was at a tiny, two-greenhouse shop, aptly named Carefree Gardens, owned by husband and wife Mary and Brent Leonard. Mary was an expert at creating highly visible window boxes for her clients in the Cooperstown area for the Fourth of July Window Box Contest.

The contest was organized by the Cooperstown Garden Club, and let’s just say the competition was

fierce. Impeccable front porches showcased Colonial Revival and Federal-style homes. Some of the famous names who owned their “second homes” in this historic, lakefront city included the Clarks, the Coopers, and most of the Anheuser-Busch family.

I was certainly not among the rich and famous but studying horticulture at SUNY Cobleskill. My job as a member of the Carefree Gardens’ staff was to select the perfect red, white and blue flowers that would festoon the contestants’ window boxes.

Placement is everything

According to Mary: “The

secret to creating the perfect window box is all about the placement of the flowers. Too many, and it will look overcrowded; too few, and it will have empty spots. Also, be very careful that you choose colors that complement each other, not colors that fight each other for attention.”

1. Choose from the color list below, or ask the staff at your local garden shop for suggestions. It is best to bring your empty window box with you to fill, and you can experiment with which plants go well together. Be prepared to spend time at the garden center for a successful finished product! Our list is a selection of red, white and blue, so use them as examples and feel free to change them up.

2. Divide the window box into three horizontal sections with a pencil or chopstick. Starting with the back of the box, dig three equidistant holes in which you will place your three tall red plants as the backdrop for the other flowers. The tall selection should also be the brightest and fullest of grouping. Example: red geranium.

3. In the second horizontal segment, place three medium-size blue plants to be placed alternately in front of the tall selection. Example: blue lobelia.

4. The final step is to plant three white cascading or upright selections that will grow to fill the front of the box. Example: white alyssum.

Longhorn caps big year with NCAA win

By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD

– In the midst of a strong 2026 season, Farah O’Keefe could make it look effortless at times.

The Texas Longhorn carded a bogey-free third round and was one of only two players in the field to card red numbers all four rounds of the stroke play portion of the NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championships.

Overall, O’Keefe recorded 20 birdies over the four days en route to winning the individual title.

Though it was not always a peaceful walk at Omni La Costa Resort and Spa’s North Course for O’Keefe, who said the course “has been a bit of a struggle” previously.

O’Keefe bogeyed two of the par-5 holes in her fourth round. On the 14th, she hit one shot from the rough near a fence at the backside of someone’s yard, across the fairway and toward the creek, leading to a bogey.

In an interview with the Golf Channel after the round, O’Keefe said that the key through it all was to actively take stock of each moment she was feeling.

“One of my good friends actually was telling me a couple of weeks ago to make sure that I was doing grounding techniques and actually feeling where my feet were instead of just saying, ‘Be where your feet are,’” she said. “I think that really helped a lot down the stretch.

“I was doing a lot of almost like meditation — especially after 14. I just kind of laughed and I said, ‘Well, it’s a game of inches, you know, or millimeters.’ And I just took some deep breaths, made sure I was feeling actually how I was feeling instead of just trying to put a band-aid over it and ignore it and play on.”

In interviews after both her second and third rounds, O’Keefe mentioned patience and taking the competition one shot at a time.

“There were a couple moments where I thought about the score, but I kept reminding myself one shot at a time,” she said after round three. “I felt like I did a good job of monitoring

Sports Palomar softball wins state title

By Noah Perkins SAN MARCOS —

Eleven years after its last state title, Palomar College returned to the top of California community college softball May 17, overwhelming Saddleback College 13-0 at Bakersfield College to win the 3C2A Softball State Championship.

The championship was the sixth in program history for Palomar College and the third under head coach Lacey Craft, who previously led the Comets to state titles in 2013 and 2015.

my thoughts and hitting as many good shots as I could.”

In the year, O’Keefe has been hitting lots of those good shots — she was recognized with the Annika Award, presented to the top collegiate women’s golfer.

The win at La Costa represented her fourth of the season. She has not finished outside the top 10 in any college event this year and tied for the low amateur at the Chevron Championship, the first LPGA major of the season..

O’side twins lead upset in team play

After the stroke play of the first four rounds, eight teams are seeded into a bracket to determine the team champion through match play.

The University of Texas has hosted the championship each year it has been at La Costa since the Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner remodel, due in part to an NCAA policy preventing schools, such as San Diego State, from playing the championship-hosting course at any other point should they want to host, according to reporting by Golf Digest.

However, in the first round of the team play, that quasi-home field advantage for the Longhorns was undone by a couple of Oceanside kids playing for Eastern Michigan University.

Twins Jasmine and Janae Leovao — both El Camino High School alums — both won their matches against their Texas opponents, en route to an upset first-round victory.

Jasmine sank the winning putt about 90 minutes after Janae beat O’Keefe five and four.

After the win, Jasmine told reporters the team motto was, “Just keep breaking hearts, just keep making history.”

“I’m so proud of this team, nobody thought we’d make it here but we kept believing [in] ourselves and that’s what we did,” she said. “I’m just so happy I made that putt and to keep going on.”

The NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships begin today at Omni La Costa Resort and Spa and run through June 3.

“Everybody was really excited that they could accomplish a goal that we set out to complete since the end of last season,” Craft said. “A lot of the returners that lost the state championship game last year to San Mateo were obviously motivated from the get-go, but the freshmen jumped in and met the standard everybody set without really knowing what they were getting into.

“Against Saddleback, we really jumped on them,” she added. “We hit some home runs in that first inning, and I think that set the tone and made it an enjoyable game instead of kind of a stressful experience. It was really fun.”

The Comets wasted little time taking control of the championship game. Sophomore first baseman Alexis Huey opened the contest with a double before freshman third baseman Ava Alvarez launched a three-run home run to right-center field.

Moments later, designated player Lauren Doepping followed with a solo

shot to center, giving Palomar a 4-0 lead before Saddleback could record an out.

Any remaining suspense disappeared in the second inning. The Comets sent 12 batters to the plate and scored seven more runs, highlighted by a tworun homer from Huey and a grand slam by freshman second baseman Kristina Deal. Palomar finished with 14 hits, including three apiece from Huey and Alvarez, while Huey capped a dominant season by setting a new school and state record with her 27th home run.

“I’m not aiming to hit a home run every at bat, or even break records. I just kind of work for those line drives,” Huey said.

“I don’t think she hit a home run her high school career,” Craft added. “She hit two her freshman year here, and then just blew the charts up.”

Craft also pointed out Huey — the NFCA State Player of the Year and 3C2A SoCal Player of the Year — didn’t commit an error in the field all season.

“To not commit an error all year defensively too, the success on both sides of the ball is almost unheard of,” she said.

With the offense surging, sophomore righthander Kiara Flaviani controlled the game from the circle. One day after throwing an eight-inning shutout against defending champion College of San Mateo in the semifinals, Flaviani held Saddleback to three hits over five scoreless innings while striking out seven.

The tournament’s Most Valuable Pitcher closed her sophomore season with a 38-1 record as Palomar completed a 45-2 campaign, outscoring opponents 54-5 across four state tournament victories.

“I just tried to keep it simple,” Flaviani said postgame. “The offense got me some runs early, so it was nice to have that lead.”

“Kiara just kept getting stronger as the season went on,” Craft said. “She earned that starting role early and kept getting better and better throughout the year. I think she only gave up two earned runs in the entire tournament and had more strikeouts than she’d probably had in any four-game stretch this season. It was really satisfying to see her have that kind of success at the state tournament and finish with that culmination at the end.”

Palomar ends the season with a .957 winning percentage, the best in program history.

“The group we had in the program this year, I can’t say enough about their work ethic and competitiveness,” Craft said.

Vista pursues housing project for ex-foster youth

City partners with nonprofits for HomeKey plan

By Leo Place

VISTA — The city of Vista, in partnership with nonprofit housing developer DignityMoves and other agency partners, is pursuing funding for a new, permanent supportive housing project for transitional-age youth exiting foster care.

The project will provide 35 units of permanent supportive housing for transitional-age youth (TAY) ages 18 to 25 and is being managed through a partnership among the city, DignityMoves, Casa de Amparo and TrueCare.

The city is in the process of acquiring properties at 952-958 Postal Way, which were recently converted from office buildings into a multiresidential development, for the $18.4 million project.

TAY coming out of foster care are at an elevated risk for homelessness, due to the lack of stable housing, employment, or a family support system, as well as other challenges such as trauma and unmet behavioral health needs.

“This project represents an urgently-needed investment in some of the region’s most vulnerable young adults, many of whom face homelessness shortly after leaving the foster care system,” Mayor John Franklin said in a letter to the San

Diego County Board of Supervisors.

On May 19, the Board of Supervisors agreed to award $1.8 million from county reserves to help close the funding gap for the proj-

ect, contingent upon the city first receiving $10.8 million in Homekey+ funding from the state Department of Housing and Community Development.

As of Monday afternoon, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office online jail records had not upgraded the charge to murder.

Deputy District Attorney Ross Garcia told reporters that Sheron suffered severe injuries during what was described as an unprovoked attack.

“It was a single punch to the jaw,” Garcia said. “The victim then falls to the floor, and there are subsequent hits to the victim’s head area.”

Almost 100 people gathered outside Sheron’s home on Friday in support.

Police urged anyone with information regarding the attack to call the Escondido Police Department at 760-839-4722 or Det. Patrick Hand at 760839-4985 and reference case No. 26004339.

business owner and 20year resident, said she has seen Escondido experience many ups and downs during her time in the city and was initially hesitant to support the district.

“I’ve gone back and forth on this, but I really believe this is the right time and the right next step for growth in downtown Escondido,” Rogers said.

She noted that while

and Casa de Amparo jointly applied for Homekey+ funding back in February.

The program provides competitive funding to jurisdictions to acquire and develop housing serving those experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

Homekey+ funds are being awarded on a rolling basis.

Other funds are coming from the city of Vista and DignityMoves, which have each committed $2.2 million.

“These are kids who grew up in our system, and we owe them a real shot at adulthood,” County Supervisor Jim Desmond said. “Aging out of foster care should not be a one-way ticket to homelessness. This project gives 35 young peo-

ple a roof, a caseworker, a doctor, and a path to a job, all in one place. That is how you actually break the cycle.”

In addition to housing, the project will provide wraparound services including medical and behavioral health care, case management, education and employment support, and life skills development.

Last year, the city of Vista opened a 12-bedroom transitional housing facility for homeless youth known as the VisTAY house.

Escondido cracks down on fireworks

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO

— The city is cracking down on illegal fireworks following an increase in their use over the past several years.

The Escondido City Council unanimously adopted a new ordinance on May 13 to strengthen enforcement against illegal fireworks, following similar actions by other cities across the state. Oceanside recently approved a comparable enforcement effort.

Although Escondido’s current fireworks ordinance remains legally valid, it is “operationally ineffective for modern enforcement realities,” Police Capt. Ryan Banks told the council.

“It creates an environment in which enforcement relies on witnessing the act and identifying a specific violator and detaining them,” Banks said. “Only a physical act can be issued a citation, meanwhile property owners and tenants are effectively immune.”

Banks said that by the time officers arrive, fireworks are often no longer visible, the individual responsible cannot be identified, or crowds have dispersed.

Under the previous ordinance, fines were capped at $100 for a first offense, $200 for a second offense and $500 for additional violations within a oneyear period. The new ordinance allows fines of up to $1,000 and possible misdemeanor charges.

The changes also shift enforcement away from identifying the individual who launched the fireworks and toward the person who owns or controls the property where the activity occurred. Property own-

ers, tenants or organizers of gatherings where illegal fireworks are used may now be held responsible. The ordinance also allows the city to seek reimbursement for emergency response and disposal costs related to illegal fireworks.

The ordinance additionally authorizes the use of drones to help identify locations where fireworks are being used illegally. The drones will relay information to officers responding on the ground.

The council approved the ordinance nearly two months before the Fourth of July holiday, when the city typically experiences its highest volume of fireworks-related activity.

According to callsfor-service data, fireworks activity is heavily concentrated around the summer holiday. Between 2023 and 2025, about 28.6% of all annual fireworks-related calls occurred on July 4. Nearly 93% of those calls were reported between 6 p.m. and midnight, with the highest volume occurring between 8 and 10 p.m.

Residents have urged the city for years to take stronger action against illegal fireworks, citing wildfire risks, impacts on veterans living with post-traumatic stress disorder, and distress caused to pets.

Denise Rolen, chief executive officer of the Escondido Fire Safe Council, thanked the city for adopting the new rules.

“We’ll be watching for substantial results and looking to the city to make adjustments,” she added. The city plans to launch a public education campaign in the weeks leading up to July 4 .

the Downtown Business Association has worked extensively to improve downtown, its volunteers can only do so much.

“A downtown benefit district would provide focused resources from dedicated staff and reliable

funding that would allow us to create a clear, more vibrant, more welcoming downtown,” she said.

Jason Schafer warned that some property owners may not be well informed about the district because notices were mailed to in-

correct addresses.

Schafer also argued that the district’s costs — which he said appeared duplicative of existing city services — would likely be passed on to businesses along Grand Avenue that are already struggling with high rental costs. According to Rogers, the additional services would complement, not duplicate, the city’s existing services. The city expects to hold a public hearing to count ballots this summer.

North County mayors face off in supervisor race

By Leo Place

VISTA

— As the June 2 Primary Election draws closer, five candidates for the District 5 seat on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors are battling it out in a closely-watched race to advance to the November ballot.

The board’s District 5 seat oversees Escondido, Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, Camp Pendleton, and the rest of the county’s northern communities. The seat is currently held by Jim Desmond, who will be termed out and is now running in a crowded race to represent the 48th Congressional District.

San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones and Vista Mayor John Franklin, both Republicans, are running for the seat in addition to former San Diego County Democratic Party leader Kyle Krahel, public health educator Sasha Miller, and former La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians Chairwoman Norma Contreras.

The top two vote-getters in the primary will advance to the General Election. Krahel is hoping to flip the seat to blue as the leading Democrat in the race, while the two North County mayors are also fighting for a spot on the ticket to keep the seat red.

The Coast News reached out to the five candidates to speak a bit about their priorities and experience ahead of the election.

Jones

Jones has served on the San Marcos City Council since 2007 and as mayor since 2018. She said her nearly two decades of leadership in San Marcos are an example of how to run a city well, and that the city can serve as a blueprint for a well-functioning county government.

should.”

Krahel

Born and raised in Oceanside, Krahel said he is well prepared to serve constituents, drawing on his experience as deputy chief of staff for Congressman Mike Levin and his career in commercial property management.

Contreras

Contreras is a Democrat and the former chairwoman of the La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians. She noted that what is now known as District 5 is the ancestral homeland of the Payómkawichum, or People of the West.

She said her perspective as an Indigenous person shapes her approach to county leadership, with a focus on sustainable policy, environmental protection, inclusivity, and meeting the needs of all residents.

“I am the best candidate for this role because I bring a lived understanding of the district’s cultural heritage, environmental challenges, and the urgent need for equitable solutions. My lifelong commitment to service, advocacy for social justice, and experience working with a broad coalition of community members have prepared me to unite and represent all voices in District 5,” Contreras said.

Contreras said her priorities as a supervisor would include sustainable stewardship of local lands and natural resources, supporting affordable housing and reducing homelessness, and ensuring equitable access to healthcare, education, and public safety.

Contreras said she is also passionate about victim advocacy, preventing abuse, and mental health resources.

Franklin

Franklin is in his first term as Vista’s mayor and has served on the City Council for nearly 12 years.

He said one of the most significant issues at the county is the budget, stating that the board should not allocate more money to discretionary programs like the arts before basic needs are met.

“We have to balance our county’s budget. We obviously cannot continue to overspend by hundreds of

millions of dollars each year. Another deficit budget, another raiding of the reserves, our reserves at this rate will be at zero in four years,” he said.

Franklin has also been an outspoken supporter of harsher punishments for misdemeanor crimes, reducing taxes, and addressing homelessness via mandatory mental health and addiction treatment.

He has said there needs to be a compassionate approach as well as accountability for those who are chronically homeless due to mental health issues or addiction, and said the county needs to pursue more conservatorships to get people help.

“I am sick and tired of watching 300 to 500 people per year die on the streets of our county,” he said. “Something is not right in California. Something is not right in San Diego County. Who is going to call out what is not right?”

MAILERS

Musgrove.

DeMaio also promoted a website, republicanvoterguideca.com, via a text campaign promoting an “Official Republican Voter Guide,” which included language indicating the endorsements came from the Republican Central Committee.

On Friday, the California Republican Party sent a scathing cease-and-desist letter to DeMaio regarding the mailers and the text campaign. Ashlee Titus, general counsel for the state Republicans, accused DeMaio of a “coordinated, brazen, and unlawful campaign to deceive California voters” into believing his mailers were from the official Republican Party.

“You are not an unsophisticated political novice,” Titus wrote. “Your conduct is not a mistake. It is a calculated deception of California’s Republican voters, and it will not be tolerated.”

Since then, DeMaio has removed all references to the Republican Central Committee and changed the name on the website from the “Official Republican Voter Guide” to “Carl DeMaio’s Reform California Voter Guide for Republicans.”

Dylan Martin, communications director for Reform California, dismissed the state party’s concerns as an attempt to smear DeMaio’s voter guide, which he said backs the candidates who are “fighters” rather

“I’m about doing the job, not the noise. My community trusts me. They know that I’m going to deliver the results, that I’m going to focus on them,” she said.

She is focused on government efficiency, addressing homelessness, investing in affordable housing, and supporting programs that ensure residents’ basic needs are met.

Jones said the Board of Supervisors needs to refocus its priorities away from ideology and from issues that don’t improve residents’ lives. She cited the planned county charter overhaul that would extend term limits for supervisors, as well as the county’s Immigrant Legal Defense Fund, which provides free legal representation to local people in immigration detention.

“I think the priorities are all wrong right now at the county,” Jones said. “We have real problems and real needs for people who have been here their entire lives. We need to care for them, and we’re not caring for them the way that we

“I am the best candidate because I am the only one in this race who combines real private-sector experience with federal policy expertise and deep community roots,” Krahel said. “My opponents are two Republican mayors whose records reflect a different set of priorities. I offer a real alternative.”

Krahel said the top issues affecting the district are homelessness, housing affordability, and federal funding cuts to services such as Medi-Cal, CalFresh, veterans’ benefits, and housing assistance.

He advocated that the county use its land-use authority to shorten permitting times to increase the supply of needed workforce housing in unincorporated areas. For homelessness, he is advocating for the county to use its resources to add more shelter beds and mental health and addiction treatment and increase accountability in public spaces.

He said the district needs a supervisor who will

Pala Casino Spa Golf Resort turns 25

Pala Casino Spa Golf Resort is marking its 25th anniversary this year, reflecting on a quarter century of growth, resilience, and deep-rooted connection to the region it has proudly called home since opening in 2001.

Originally built from the ground up on the Pala Indian Reservation, the casino opened as part of a broader movement toward tribal self-reliance in California, creating long-term economic opportunity while laying the foundation for continued investment in the Tribe and surrounding community.

“Twenty-five years ago, we made a commitment to build something meaningful, not just for today, but for generations,” said Robert Smith, Chairman of the Pala Band of Mission Indians. “Pala Casino has helped create opportunity for our people while allowing us to invest in our community and preserve what matters most to us as a Tribe.”

Today, the Pala Band of Mission Indians — comprised of the Cupeño and Luiseño people — continues to support its community while expanding economic opportunity beyond gaming.

Over the past 25 years, Pala Casino Spa Golf Resort has grown into a premier destination for gaming, hospitality, dining, and entertainment in Southern California, earning consistent recognition for quality and guest experience, including AAA Four Diamond distinction for its hotel and top ratings for its RV Resort.

That growth is reflected not only in the property, but in the people behind it.

“I started working here in March of 2001 for training, and we opened April 3, 2001,” said Gwendean Johnson, Cage Cashier, 25 years with Pala. “It was incredible; there were so many people that the fire marshals had to stop people

land would remain designated for agricultural use.

DeLarco also said neighboring property owners supported the switch from hemp to cannabis cultivation, though not everyone agreed.

Rachel White, who lives near Frazee Road and College Boulevard, argued the project could attract crime.

“I think it’s a bad idea,” she said.

Others spoke in support of cannabis. Resident Edward Fitzpatrick said a cannabis oil product helped prolong his wife’s life during her battle with leukemia.

Resident Jimmy Knott urged the city to explore limiting THC levels in locally grown cannabis, noting the drug is far more potent today than in past decades.

from coming in because we were packed.”

“It’s been 25 years, and I’m very proud that I’m still a team member with Pala,” Johnson added. “Pala is my second family.”

For others, the memories begin even before opening day.

“My very first day, there was still construction,” said Ibana Peña, Lead Slot Floor Person, 25 years with Pala. “We were told, ‘Remember the look and the sound; you will never see this casino this empty and this quiet ever again.’ And it never has been.”

“There’s not just one favorite memory,” she added. “There are so many - working with people you grow to think of as family.”

That commitment to team has been central to Pala’s long-term success.

“Our success over the past 25 years starts with our team,” said Fred Buro, CEO/CMO of Pala Casino Spa Golf Resort. “We’ve always believed that when you take care of your team, they take care of your guests, and that’s what creates lasting experiences.”

Looking ahead, Pala is continuing to invest significantly across the property

“This race determines whether North County families have a Supervisor who will fight for them, or one who will side with the forces making their lives harder,” Krahel said.

Miller is running as an independent. She currently works at the California Department of Public Health, was a professor of public health at Cal State San Marcos for over four years, and has also worked with tribal communities in the county through Indian Health Council, Inc.

These efforts include a comprehensive casino refresh, new slot product and gaming enhancements, upgraded air filtration systems, and new dining concepts such as Chi and Kunlun, bringing both vibrant and elevated Asian culinary experiences to the property.

“Our mission remains the same: to create unparalleled guest and team member experiences through sincere and proactive engagement,” Buro added. “As we look ahead, we’re continuing to invest in ways that elevate both the guest experience and the environment we create for our team.”

As Pala Casino Spa Golf Resort marks 25 years, the focus remains on continued evolution - building on a legacy of consistency, community, and commitment that has defined its first quarter century.

“We need elected officials with the knowledge on how to address social and behavioral determinants of health and the guts to put people over profit,” Miller said.

hen North County residents walk into Tri-City Medical Center’s redesigned Emergency Department, receive advanced robotic spine treatment close to home or benefit from faster diagnostic technology, they are seeing more than medical innovation at work.

They are seeing the impact of community support.

Behind many of TriCity Medical Center’s most important advancements stands the Tri-City Hospital Foundation, the nonprofit organization that helps connect local generosity with local healthcare needs. As a community hospital, Tri-City depends on philanthropic support in ways many people may not fully realize.

Unlike large national hospital systems backed by massive corporate networks, community hospitals rely heavily on partnerships with residents, local businesses, philanthropic foundations and grateful patients who believe high quality healthcare should remain accessible close to home.

That support helps turn critical needs into real improvements for patients and families across North County.

In recent years, foundation-supported fundraising efforts have helped advance emergency care improvements, advanced imaging, patient monitoring systems and robotic spine technology. Philanthropic support has also helped bring endobronchial ultrasound technology to Tri-City Medical Center, helping physicians evaluate potential lung nodules and lung cancer cases with greater speed and precision.

The foundation’s annual gala has become one of its signature fundraising efforts, helping support projects tied directly to patient care and the future of healthcare in North County.

Last year’s gala continued fundraising support for the Emergency Department redesign project, a major modernization effort focused on improving patient flow, expanding capacity and creating a more efficient and patient-centered experience during medical emergencies.

The foundation’s work has earned support from respected philanthropic organizations including the

David C. Copley Foundation and the Conrad Prebys Foundation, along with local physicians, business leaders and grateful patients throughout the region. Their involvement reflects something important: confidence in the hospital’s mission, leadership and long-term role in serving North County communities. For patients, these investments are not abstract. They can mean receiving answers faster during a frightening medical situation. They can mean shorter wait times, earlier diagnoses and access to advanced treatment without leaving North County. For families facing serious health concerns, receiving sophisticated care close to home can make an enormous difference emotionally, physically and financially.

In a recent interview, Tri-City Hospital Foundation President and Chief Development Officer Jennifer Paroly said the foundation has funded “millions of dollars in programs, services and capital needs for the hospital” through the support of donors who believe in strengthening local healthcare.

That spirit of local investment is deeply connected to Tri-City’s history.

Tri-City Medical Center itself was created through community vision decades ago, after voters came together to establish a public hospital capable of serving the growing healthcare needs of Oceanside, Vista, Carlsbad and surrounding communities. Today, the TriCity Hospital Foundation continues that tradition by giving the community an active role in shaping the future of local medicine.

Community Health Line is a recurring column presented by Tri-City Medical Center, focused on advancing community health and awareness in North County.
