Cities seek bill clarity

Transit housing law specifics still unclear

By Leo Place

REGION — As the implementation date draws closer for a new law allowing high-density housing near certain transit stations, affected North County cities are considering their options for retaining as much local control as possible while also waiting for clear guidance about where the law applies.

Senate Bill 79, introduced by state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in October, would permit multi-family residential development with heights of up to 85 feet and densities of up to 120 units per acre at sites within a half mile of major transit stops.

The new upzoning law will go into effect July 1 in counties with at least 15 passenger rail stations, a criterion that includes San Diego County and seven others.

Cities are currently waiting for the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) to release a map confirming which areas and transit stations in the county are subject to SB 79. SANDAG representatives said they could not confirm when these maps would be complete, but the clock is ticking.

At the time the law was signed, elected officials said Vista, Oceanside, and San Diego were the only cities in the county that appeared to have transit stops affected by SB 79.

However, a March 20 advisory from the state’s Housing and Community Development Department on SB 79 includes clarified definitions that would also apply to the

DIEGO

—

The number of unsheltered homeless people across San Diego County declined by 11% this year, but sheltered homelessness increased by 12%, according to the results of the 2026 Point-inTime Count released May 1. The Point-in-Time Count, conducted every January by the Regional Task Force on Homelessness, is a one-day snapshot of the region’s homeless population.

Overall homelessness across the region decreased by 1%, from 9,905 individuals in 2025 to 9,803 in 2026.

“This is what progress looks like,” said RTFH CEO Tamera Kohler. “We’re seeing good results where we’ve made investments. As a region, we still do not have enough housing resources — there are no more housing vouchers, and HUD funding is uncertain. So the investments have been in diversion, sheltering and

Ex-students accuse dance instructor of sex abuse

By Leo Place CARLSBAD — Po-

lice have arrested a former North County dance instructor after three former students came forward and alleged he sexually abused them at a Carlsbad dance studio when they were teenagers.

The Carlsbad Police Department arrested 39-yearold Ledarnay Luckie Fontenette, known as Darnay Luckie, of Encinitas, on April 29 following an investigation into a woman's abuse allegations.

According to Carlsbad police, they received a report from an adult woman in December that Fontenette had sexually abused her during her teenage years while attending Carlsbad Performing Arts Academy.

During their investigation, detectives identified two other women who reported being similarly abused while attending

In the interview, Fontenette said backstage experiences cutting hair for fellow dancers inspired him to pursue hairstyling as a career, describing the work as “more than just hair” and a way to “connect and relate to one another.”

Carlsbad Performing Arts Academy said in a statement to community members last Friday that Fontenette has not worked at the academy in over eight years, and assured families that the safety of dancers is their top priority.

The 2026 count found 5,108 individuals living unsheltered, down from 5,714 last year, while 4,695 people were in shelters or transitional housing, up from 4,191.

The information collected is used to apply for federal and state funding to help people experiencing homelessness.

The number of unsheltered homeless people dropped significantly in several cities: 64.1% in Santee, 39.5% in El Cajon, 30% in Encinitas, 25% in La Mesa and 24.5% in Chula Vista.

In San Diego, the county’s largest city, the number of unsheltered homeless residents declined by 6.6%.

“The data make clear our strategy to reduce homelessness is delivering

dance classes at the same studio as teenagers.

Investigators confirmed that Fontenette worked at Carlsbad Performing Arts Academy and the DanceFX studio in San Marcos between 2011 and 2017. He also confirmed to police that he worked at several studios during this time.

“The investigation remains ongoing. Detectives believe there may be addi-

results,” said Todd Gloria. “We’ve expanded shelter, increased access to services and built more housing — and more people are moving off the streets and into safer, more stable situations. We’re seeing that progress in our neighborhoods.”

One of the region’s most pressing concerns is the increase in senior homelessness.

Older adults make up 33% of the unsheltered population, up from 29% last year, and more than half are experiencing homelessness for the first time.

The oldest individual engaged during this year’s count was an 86-year-old Latina woman in Chula Vista.

Deacon Jim Vargas, president and CEO of Father Joe’s Villages, said the region should be doing better.

Positive developments from this year’s count included a 12% drop in unsheltered veterans, a 26% decline in unsheltered transitional-age youth ages 18 to 24, and a 14% decrease in people living in vehicles.

Boy sustains serious injuries in e-bike crash

A 12-year-old boy riding an e-bike sustained life-threatening injuries last weekend after colliding with a car in Carmel Valley, according to the San Diego Police Department.

The crash occurred in the 5500 block of Del Mar

A 64-year-old man driving a 2023 Tesla Model Y westbound in the No. 1 lane of Del Mar Heights Road was not injured. Alcohol was not a factor in the crash, police said.

The San Diego Police Department’s Traffic Division is investigating the collision. Anyone with information was urged to call SDPD or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.

Governor free-for-all

By Jerome Stocks

Maybe it’s a boomer thing that younger generations will ignore, given that everything seems to be available online these days, but I check my mailbox faithfully every day. And it’s always nice when something other than junk mail or a bill arrives.

On Saturday, I received my ballot for the primary election in the mail. Did you? Very exciting. And we could have a lengthy debate about the wisdom of mass-mailing ballots to all registered voters — even those, like myself, who haven’t re-registered due to a change of name, address or party affiliation since the invention of the printing press. It seems like a bold assumption that nothing has changed in all those lives.

In fact, a quick Google search found that there are about 39,000 adults in Encinitas eligible to register to vote, but about 40,000 are actually registered. I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation for this, but that’s a topic for a different column.

nor since 1990, when term limits began.

This one is more like 5-ish: There is a five-year residency requirement, which some believe is unconstitutional and would fail if challenged in court.

And as a side note, I know in California we don’t require ID to vote, but I hope we require ID to run for governor. Reading some of these names, I’m not so certain we do. Read them and see what you think.

That’s all there is to it. Unlike becoming an Uber or Lyft driver, a clerk at 7-Eleven or a barber at the local shop, there are no special experience or educational requirements to apply for this job. You don’t need to show you can lift 35 pounds, have a driver’s license or a clean driving record, or even have a high school diploma.

fundable filing fee. This election, the fee was about $5,000.

Now, if you have a bunch of time on your hands and don’t feel like parting with $5,000, you can submit signatures “in lieu of” paying the money. Does that sound better than parting with five grand? Super. This year, you only needed to collect the signatures of 6,000 registered California voters.

And I’m not here to throw stones at anyone willing to step up and put themselves out there as a candidate, because that takes some doing. But the reality is our “jungle” primary election system only advances the top two vote-getters. And unless you’re pretty well-to-do — like a certain billionaire candidate — you are going to need a lot of political donors to raise enough money to reach 40 million Californians about why you’d be the best.

Or maybe there’s another motivation.

Letters to the Editor

Public comment rules favor the few

Dear Editor, The City of Encinitas prides itself on transparency, yet recent shifts in City Council meeting protocols suggest a move toward selective participation. Public comment is the bedrock of local democracy; when rules become inconsistent, the integrity of our governance is compromised.

For months, I submitted speaker slips for residents whose work schedules or commutes prevented them from arriving before the deadline. This ensured that voices marginalized by logistical barriers were represented. However, at the April 8 meeting, the City Clerk informed me this was “no longer allowed” due to new protocols. No explanation for this change was provided.

The inconsistency became glaring during the April 22 meeting, in the discussion of Steven Houbeck’s removal from the Urban Forest Advisory Committee.

While I was barred from submitting slips for absent community members, the council accepted a pre-recorded audio comment from Mr. Houbeck, who was absent to attend a theater event.

Councilmember Luke Shaffer reportedly requested this accommodation and placed the recording first in the lineup, ahead of nine residents present in the chamber.

During deliberations,

Councilmember Shaffer dismissed those calling for Houbeck’s removal as “ideologues,” yet he only spoke with Houbeck and did not speak to community members who were harmed by Houbeck’s social media post.

He further asked whether critics had reached out to Houbeck, ignoring testimony from Rachel Leshaw, co-founder of the Encinitas West African Dance Community, who stated she had reached out multiple times without

We must demand a clear, equitable public comment policy.

receiving a response. This creates a dangerous double standard. If a recording is an acceptable substitute for someone attending a social event, why is the simple act of a neighbor filing a slip denied to working residents struggling to reach City Hall? When protocols are applied based on personal connections or political alignment, it is no longer “protocol”—it is gatekeeping. We must demand a clear, equitable public comment policy that prioritizes all residents, not just those with the right ties.

What really jumped out at me upon opening my very own delivered-by-mail ballot was the number of candidates for governor. Wow. Sure, I’ve seen the commercials for a few of them, as well as the video meltdown of one candidate, but holy smokes — there are 61 candidates on my ballot. So that led me to wonder: What does it take to become a candidate for governor of California, the most populous state and, some would say, the most important state in the country?

Well, it turns out it’s not that hard:

Be a U.S. citizen. Be a registered voter and eligible to vote for yourself — duh.

Not be convicted of certain felonies. Some felonies are OK. We are, after all, a very liberal and forgiving state.

Not have already served two terms as gover-

And given that literally billions of dollars are spent in our state that can’t be accounted for, history suggests a strong background in math or accounting isn’t required either.

Well, since we’ve come this far, what do we do to get on the list?

It’s the government, so you know there’s a process to follow.

Here’s what it comes down to: Fill out a bunch of forms and pay a nonre -

Just maybe this is it: For about the cost of a long weekend for the family at Disneyland — about $5,000 — you are now a part of California history. You can add to your résumé for the rest of your life, and even in your obituary: “Candidate for governor of California.”

Now that’s a lot less expensive than a Harvard education — and, to some, far more impressive.

Happy voting.

Jerome Stocks is a former mayor and council member in Encinitas.

Dear Editor, As a Republican, I am concerned about fractures within the GOP driven by Assemblyman Carl DeMaio. Behind the Voter ID curtain, he has targeted long-established Republicans in ways that appear to serve personal interests. At a time when credible candidates are focused on election integrity and public safety, Republicans cannot afford division. Party leaders should refocus on cohesion. California’s future depends on unified, principled leadership. DeMaio has dropped the ball.

Dear Editor, A family member was recently transferred to the Tri-City Medical Center Acute Rehabilitation Center in Oceanside. Admissions proactively arranged a seamless, comfortable arrival.

Diagnoses by doctors of several specialties and evaluations by multiple rehabilitation therapists were begun immediately.

Multiple and varied rehabilitation sessions were conducted daily, with regular re-evaluations and treatments from multiple doctors.

A registered nurse was attending 24/7. All levels of staffing were clearly empowered to do whatever is appropriate toward rapid rehabilitation, with un-

usual compassion for the patient. No question was left unanswered.

Every person in the process was consistently courteous, kind, professional, friendly, responsive, and focused on the patient. This is a rarely seen, well-coordinated team, with a case manager, where each person knows what other actions or treatments are in place or expected and how to support them.

The Tri-City Medical Center Acute Rehabilitation Center team and their well-equipped facility are a fantastic North County gem.

Mass rescue ongoing at Julian animal sanctuary

By City News Service

JULIAN — A mass rescue operation entered its third day Sunday at Villa Chardonnay Horses With Wings Inc. animal sanctuary in Julian, where hundreds of animals were seized under a judge’s order.

The rescue began last Friday in the 4500 block of Boulder Creek Road, the same day a San Diego Superior Court judge transferred ownership of the animals to the San Diego Humane Society. It was expected to continue for several more days, SDHS officials said.

“Our teams are continuing the complex work of evaluating, treating and moving animals off the property,” the SDHS said in a statement Saturday. “While some animals appear healthy and stable, many were found suffering without adequate care and husbandry.”

In addition to law enforcement and medical and emergency response teams from the SDHS, staff from the Pasadena Humane Society and Marin Humane were on-site assisting with the rescue.

Because the 40-acre property is so large, counts continue to shift as more animals are discovered. Estimates as of late Saturday were 165 horses, including several ponies; more than 225 cats and 30 dogs; and dozens of other animals, including donkeys, alpacas, geese, chickens, roosters, goats, ravens and a crow.

“At our San Diego Campus, we have been working to process new arrivals. An additional 67 cats were transferred today (Saturday), where they received comprehensive intake exams, including medical assessments and necessary treatments,” the SDHS statement said. “Four turkeys were taken to our Escondido Campus as well.

“The investigation is active and ongoing. Due to the size of the property and the variety of species involved, we expect the removal and evaluation phase to continue for several more days,” the

SDHS said. “Our absolute priority remains the health and safety of every animal on the property.”

The rescue organization said the massive undertaking is stretching its resources, especially as it was already operating well over capacity with dogs before the rescue began, and that community support is needed now more than ever.

“We are asking the public to support this effort by adopting and donating,” the Humane Society said. “Contributions to our rescue fund help cover the immense cost of specialized care, transport

and food for these animals. You can donate and find updated information at sdhumane.org/julianrescue.”

The operation is the result of an investigation that began in early April, according to the SDHS.

“San Diego County Animal Services had previous reports about the property but only recently received legal authority to enter. Our teams identified significant animal welfare concerns. The county transferred the case to San Diego Humane Society on April 24, 2026, to lead the investigation and resulting rescue,” officials said.

On its website, the 23-year-old sanctuary is described as a shelter where animals who have been “abandoned, neglected or abused … find love, safety and a second chance at life” and “live out their days in peace and comfort.”

Meanwhile, Heidi Redman, a spokeswoman for the sanctuary, defended the work of Villa Chardonnay founder Monika Kerber.

“There is no neglect, no abuse of any of these animals. They were well taken care of,” Redman told City News Service. “There is definitely another side to this story and it should be told. They’re (Kerber and her partner, Mercedes Flores) devastated. These animals were like their children. They (investigators) even took their house dogs, their personal dogs.”

She said the animals

were fed daily and treated by a veterinarian.

Redman said Kerber and Flores were treated like criminals, had their phones confiscated and were not allowed into their house until 11 p.m. Friday, not even to use the restroom.

“They are going to try to defend themselves as much as possible,” Redman told CNS. “They are very sad, disappointed, disorientated and devastated.”

Redman said the facility was going through bankruptcy proceedings and the property may have been in foreclosure.

“They were hoping against hope that the financial situation could be turned around,” Redman said. “They will be evicted eventually.”

City denies civil rights complaint

Dieguito Believes in the Power of Community

“It was a significant, uplifting and emotional experience for all of us.”

That experience would later inspire the couple to establish their own scholarship fund through the Coastal Community Foundation, now part of the San Diego Foundation. Named the “Teachers Recognition Fund,” the initiative reflects their belief that educators deserve recognition alongside their students.

“Behind every motivated student you will likely find a dedicated teacher,” Jeanne noted. “We wanted

local newspaper. Having candidates than we were ceremonies only deepened their commitment. “Hearing the students’ stories and seeing their supportive families and teachers strengthened my faith in the next generation,” Victor shared. “They are incredibly well-spoken and inspiring.”

Their support carries into the Chamber’s annual Salute to Education, where outstanding students and teachers from Encinitas schools are honored. Selected Rising Star students received $1,000 scholarships at this week’s event, made possible by the Orphans’ generous donations.

For the Orphans, recognition is key, not only for students, but for building community awareness. Thanks to champions like Victor and Jeanne Orphan, Encinitas continues to celebrate the students and educators shaping its future.

On April 1, Fyall, a professor of West African dance at UC San Diego, filed a grievance alleging Houbeck’s Feb. 13 Facebook post — which referred to participants in a Black History Month event at Canyon Crest Academy as “blacks” in “tribal gear banging on drums” — created a hostile environment and marginalized African American resi-

The complaint asserted that “Houbeck’s language is offensive, reductive, and perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Black culture,” according to the city.

Several weeks prior to his grievance claim, Fyall urged the council to take “bold action” in response to Houbeck’s remarks, calling on them to “remove individuals from public roles making racially loaded comments for accountability” during public comment at a Feb. 18 council meeting.

Since then, the incident has sparked weeks of sustained public backlash, with some residents repeatedly urging the City Council to remove Houbeck from his appointed position.

Garvin Walsh, a Cardiff

“Removing an appointed commissioner based on prior, private speech unrelated to official duties would likely constitute impermissible viewpoint discrimination under the First Amendment,” Walsh wrote.

After public comments and council discussion, Lyndes’ motion to remove Houbeck failed to receive a second, leaving him in his role.

Title VI grievance

As part of the grievance process, city officials — including Assistant City Manager Jace Schwarm, Title VI coordinator and attorney Timothy Davis, and Kathya Firlik, a senior associate at Jones Mayer Law and deputy city attorney for several cities — held a Zoom meeting on April 14 with Fyall and his spouse, Tia Grant, along with Encinitas Action members Theresa Beauchamp and her husband, Bob Ayers, to discuss the allegations and review any evidence.

Beuachamp, who has known Fyall for several years through their participation in a West African dance group in Encinitas, told The Coast News she volunteered to help with the

According to the city’s letter of denial, the meeting provided the complainant a “full and meaningful opportunity” to present concerns, clarify the complaint and explore possible resolutions before issuing a determination.

The city’s formal response to the Title VI complaint, authored and signed by Davis, focused on whether Houbeck’s conduct constituted discrimination within the scope of his official duties.

“To establish a Title VI claim, a complainant must demonstrate a nexus between the alleged discrimination and a specific program or activity that received federal funding,” the letter states.

City officials concluded that the standard was not met, noting that Houbeck’s post occurred before he began serving on the advisory committee and that there was no evidence he engaged in discriminatory actions in his official role.

“Absent a discriminatory action taken by Houbeck, in his role as a UFAC member, no valid Title VI claim exists,” the letter states.

The city also emphasized that the grievance process is not intended to address calls to remove appointed officials based on past statements, even if those statements are considered offensive.

“It is important to note

that the City’s determination does not constitute a finding as to whether Houbeck’s post was racially offensive or discriminatory,” the letter states. “Rather, the City’s finding is limited solely to the question of whether his actions violated Title VI.” Ayers, a local attorney active in local politics, criticized the City Council’s response to Houbeck’s remarks and its handling of concerns voiced by residents and community advocates.

“Title VI complaint process is just one of several for a citizen of Encinitas to address discrimination by a city representative like Steven Houbeck,” Ayers said. “It’s a high bar. Our City Council, the same that appointed Houbeck, will use the complaint’s denial to justify its decision to protect Houbeck, clearly one of its own. The City Council can remove Houbeck regardless of a Title VI violation. It refused to do so and instead threatened to remove us from council chambers. We are left to address this with other processes.”

During the April 22 meeting, Mayor Bruce Ehlers described the original post as “insensitive and demeaning,” but said Houbeck had issued an apology and that removal would offer little opportunity for growth or dialogue within the community.

Ehlers declined to comment further for this story.

Lyndes, who brought forward the removal item, argued that keeping Houbeck in the role failed to address community concerns and called it a matter of accountability.

According to Lyndes, removing Houbeck from office was the “appropriate and responsive step” because he had become “a lightning rod for our community.”

Houbeck, who submitted a video apology which was aired in part during the April 22 council meeting, has said his post was misunderstood and that he did not intend to demean the community, describing the situation as a learning experience.

“I look upon this as a learning opportunity to be more sensitive to the words I use in certain venues and subjects,” Houbeck said in March. “I do regret any harm that may have been caused to the members of the community.”

Solana Beach Transit Center.

SB 79 allows projects of varying sizes depending on the distance from an applicable transit stop and the type of stop. The largest projects are allowed near Tier 1 stops, defined as those served by heavy rail or very high-frequency commuter rail, equivalent to at least 72 trains per day, excluding long-distance Amtrak service.

Smaller projects may be built by Tier 2 stations, defined as those served by light rail or high-frequency commuter rail with 48 to 71 trains per day.

The HCD advisory states that if some trains serving a station are operated by multiple commuter rail services, such as the Coaster and Surfliner, all of these services must be counted when calculating the “frequency” of trains serving that station.

“This approach reflects the overall level of transit access and frequency experienced by riders at a given stop,” the advisory says.

Under this definition, the Solana Beach Transit Center — which has an average of 56 weekday trips between the Coaster and Pacific Surfliner — would be considered at least a Tier 2 stop.

Mayor Lesa Heebner declined to comment on HCD’s advisory about SB 79. In the past, however, she and other city leaders in Solana Beach, as well as Vista,

Oceanside, Del Mar, and Encinitas, have been clear in their opposition.

“At only 3.4 square miles with a population of 12,900, Solana Beach is a tiny city, but a tiny city with a train station,” Solana Beach City Councilmember Jewel Edson said during a North County Transit District board meeting on March 19. “Tying land use requirements to rail transit frequency is problematic for many reasons.”

State Sen. Catherine Blakespear (D-Encinitas) voted against the bill as it worked its way through the state Legislature.

“I voted against SB 79 because it short-circuits the local planning process. It doesn’t make sense to me for Solana Beach to be covered by this legislation,” Blakespear said. “As the details emerge about exactly how SB 79 would be applied, I’ll continue to closely monitor what can be done and advocate for the interests of the city.”

Tier 1 transit stops would allow projects up to 65 feet tall, with a density of 100 dwelling units per acre within a half mile; and projects up to 75 feet, with a density of 120 dwelling units per acre within a quarter mile.

Tier 2 transit stops could have projects up to 55 feet tall within a half mile and 65 feet tall within a quarter mile. A project within 200 feet of a Tier 1 or 2 transit stop would be eligible for further size increases, including another 20 feet in height, another 40 dwelling units per acre, and an increased floor area ratio.

Alternative plans

Cities will be required to begin accepting SB 79 projects beginning July 1. However, there are other routes they can take before

that date to maintain a bit more flexibility.

One way is for cities to adopt a Local TOD Alternative Plan approved by HCD that largely meets the law’s standards, but would allow cities to shift the required density to other sites within the city.

The bill also allows cities to adopt an ordinance delaying the impacts of SB 79 until one year after adoption of the 7th Cycle Housing Element (around 2030), as long as existing laws allow development at least half the density permitted by SB 79.

Hoping to take advan-

tage of this loophole, the cities of San Diego and Los Angeles are rushing to upzone certain areas in order to meet this standard and delay the effects of SB 79.

Within alternative plans, some TOD areas may be exempt if they meet certain criteria, including sites located within very high fire hazard severity zones, sites vulnerable to at least one foot of sea level rise, or sites with a historic designation.

The city of Oceanside is working on a TOD Alternative Plan, using its Smart and Sustainable Corridors Plan as a baseline, to shift density from single-family areas into more commercial areas. The city is also working on an ordinance to defer the implementation date of SB 79.

“We’re working very quickly on that, so that come July 1, we will be able to provide some immediate relief and some options for our community,” Oceanside City Manager Jonathan Borrego said in April.

Six of Oceanside’s seven transit stops qualify as Tier 2 stops, and the Oceanside Transit Center qualifies as a Tier 1 stop, according to Borrego. However, he noted that nothing is confirmed until SANDAG’s maps are released.

The city of San Diego is also pursuing delays and exemptions to the law.

NCTD officials said in March that all Sprinter stations could potentially be Tier 2 stations under SB 79. The Sprinter services 15 sta-

Cities target housing, services with federal grants

By Leo Place

SAN

MARCOS

— The City Council agreed to allocate over $1 million in federal Community Development Block Grant funds last week toward public service and housing affordability programs and facility and infrastructure improvements in the upcoming fiscal year.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development allocates Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds annually to jurisdictions across the country for projects and programs that benefit lowand moderate-income residents.

San Marcos will receive $685,579 in CDBG entitlement funding for the 2026-27 fiscal year, in addition to $496,937 in reinstated prior-year funds for a total of $1.18 million. The City Council approved the spending plan at its April 28 meeting.

“We do recognize that the need will exceed the funds available. This is our attempt for funding this gap with CDBG funding, but overall, we’re looking at other resources for future housing and neighborhood services funds,” said Housing and Neighborhood Services Manager Sylvia Daniels.

Funds will be used for programs and projects benefiting lower-income residents in the central and northern parts of the city, including neighborhoods surrounding Richmar Ave-

This includes $30,000 for senior rental assistance and wraparound support; $25,000 for youth and family rental assistance and housing stabilization; $18,500 for meal delivery for seniors; $14,000 for food distribution services to youth and families; and $15,000 for senior transportation services.

This public services funding is expected to benefit between 500 and 700 lower-income residents in the city. Rental assistance specifically will be provided on a short-term emergency basis to qualifying house-

holds, with payments made directly to landlords or service providers.

“The housing stabilization, rental assistance, that is such a great program. I think it helps people from becoming homeless, in the fact that, you know, sometimes you lose a job suddenly or you have a medical expense that you weren’t expecting,” said Mayor Rebecca Jones.

Other CDBG allocations include $100,000 for housing affordability programs, including owner-occupied rehabilitation, accessibility improvements, and housing preservation assistance. These programs will benefit four to six low-

The CDBG funding plan also included amendments to prior CDBG budgets to redirect funds toward more shovel-ready projects and reflect increased project costs.

The city added $360,224 for the Richmar Park Phase 2 project and $343,101 for the Senior Center HVAC project, and removed $250,000 in funding from the Bradley Park Master Plan.

The city allocated the funds through a competitive application process, according to a staff report, but did not disclose the names of specific providers who will carry out the programs.

This allows the city to play a larger role in how the funds are spent, rather than applying for HUD grants on a project-by-project basis.

CDBG funds are designed to meet a variety of housing, community development and other needs for low- and moderate-income residents.

Just under $500,000 will go toward local infrastructure improvements, including neighborhood lighting enhancements, ADA accessibility upgrades, and recreational facility improvements. Specific projects will include the Richmar Park Phase 2 project, which will add new park amenities, shade structures, site infrastructure, and accessibility improvements, and Bradley Park improvements.

The city will also allocate $137,000 toward CDBG program administration and Fair Housing.

Lastly, $346,079 will go toward HVAC improvements at the Senior Activity Center, facility accessibility, and system upgrades.

“I really like when we’re able to kind of spread our grant funding across the community. As you went through the list, you hit everything you want to hear,” said Deputy Mayor Mike Sannella.

City Councilmember María Nuñez said she was glad to see CDBG funds being used to support residents with rent and food at a time when many are struggling.

“I’m also glad to see that we are taking into account some of the pressing needs of our residents,” Nuñez said.

CDBG funds will become available for reimbursement on July 1. The funding will be incorporated into San Marcos’ 202627 annual budget.

Carlsbad

The City of Carlsbad prioritized programs at home with its Community Development Block Grant priorities for fiscal year 2026-27.

The city is set to receive $535,326 in CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Nicole Piano-Jones, a senior planner with the city’s Housing and Homeless Services Division, said the funds Carlsbad receives are “entitlement funds, which means we don’t necessarily have to go through a

“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

— Psalm 119:105 (NIV)

The city’s plan, approved unanimously by the City Council at its April 28 meeting, allocates the maximum allowable amounts to public service activities, 15%, and program administration and fair housing, 20%, according to city documents. The remaining 65% is earmarked for affordable housing and facility improvement activities.

For public service activities, the city received four applications totaling $237,428, according to the documents.

City staff recommended not funding the Los Angeles Wealth & Opportunity Institute program due to the size of the $65,000 request and “because the organization is not yet established in Carlsbad,” among other reasons, according to the documents.

Staff also recommended not allocating CDBG funds to the Women’s Resource Center because the organization is already set to receive $10,000 from the city’s general fund under the Homelessness Action Plan’s funding plan, according to the documents.

The bulk of the $80,298 designated for fiscal year 2026-27 public service activities is set to go to Interfaith Community Services, which would receive $55,178. The remaining funds are slated for the Community Resource Center's homelessness-prevention programs in Carlsbad.

The city also plans to allocate $30,110 in CDBG funds to the Legal Aid Society of San Diego for fair housing services and $76,955 to the City of Carlsbad for program administration, according to the documents.

The city recommended using the full $347,963 allocated to affordable housing and facility improvement activities in its Affordable Housing Fund.

The city also received a request from Casa de Amparo for $13,950 to replace doors at its administrative office in Oceanside. City staff recommended not funding the project due to its scope and because “services are also not provided in Carlsbad and there is an unknown benefit for Carlsbad youth,” according to the documents.

Councilmember Teresa Acosta noted an approximate 5% reduction in grant funds compared with last year and said the plan aligns with community needs.

“I think our staff have done a really wonderful job in figuring out what the best places are to make the biggest impact in our community to help,” Acosta said.

Suspect remains at-large

By City News Service POWAY

— An approximately 30- to 40-year-old man suspected of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl in Poway remained at large Monday.

Deputies from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office Poway Station responded around 6 p.m. Saturday to the 13400 block of Midland Road, where authorities say the victim was assaulted by an unknown man.

The girl’s friend was with her and screamed for the suspect to stop. The suspect fled on an electric scooter. With assistance from the Aerial Support to Regional Enforcement Agencies — the department’s aviation unit — deputies searched the area but were unable to locate him, authorities said.

Detectives with the Sheriff’s Child Abuse Unit took over the investigation and conducted a canvass of the area.

The suspect is described as Latino, with a medium build and complexion, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, with shaved black hair, a receding hairline, a large nose, acne scars, and bushy eyebrows. He was unshaven and last seen wearing black sunglasses, a gray hooded sweatshirt and black shorts, detectives said.

Anyone with information about the assault is asked to call the Sheriff’s Child Abuse Unit at 858285-6222 or after hours at 858-868-3200. Anonymous callers can contact San Diego County Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.

Vista agrees to add second gang detective

By Leo Place

VISTA — City leaders have agreed to fund the addition of a second gang detective at the Vista Sheriff’s Station, following repeated requests from sheriff’s officials for increased resources in the city.

The Vista City Council agreed on April 28 in a 4-1 vote, with Councilmember Corinna Contreras opposed, to allocate $434,882 toward the startup of the new gang detective position in the upcoming 2026-27 fiscal year. Ongoing costs for the position will be around $357,833 annually, including the salary and benefits, equipment, and departmental overhead.

Vista is one of several cities that contract with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office for police services rather than maintaining a local police department.

The Vista Sheriff’s Station has a Street Narcotics and Gang Team that assigns cases to a gang detective in a specialized role.

The Vista Sheriff’s Station used to have two gang detectives, but the unit was reduced to one in 2009 due to a funding shortage. There have been eight different individuals in the gang detective role since then, said Vista sheriff’s Captain John Malan.

“The detectives in Vista over all of these years, they’ve left in less than two years because of the burnout to go to other places where they would have a partner,” Malan said.

In 2025, Vista’s sole gang detective handled around 50 total cases. Gang detectives in neighboring cities have a much less burdensome case load, Malan said.

In the same year, Escondido had two detectives handling 22 cases; Carlsbad had two detectives handling around 33 cases; Oceanside had four investigators handling around 26 cases; and San Marcos had two detectives handling 58 cases.

The addition of another detective would likely result in fewer cases overall, according to Malan, as it would make it easier to complete and close out existing cases.

“Gang investigations oftentimes involve very violent crimes, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and for one person, it’s an avalanche of tasks that keep that individual from being proactive to keep those crimes at bay,” Malan said.

Conversations about the need for increased personnel have been ongoing for several years, but the department’s calls have grown more urgent over the past couple of years. Vista Sheriff’s leaders have warned that Vista is falling behind other cities not only in addressing gang activity, but also in its overall crime reduction technology.

Deputy Mayor Dan O’Donnell, who brought forward the item, said he recognized the repeated requests for an additional gang detective and the support from the city’s Commu-

nity Safety Commission for this proposal last year.

“I just want to point out, for the record, that you are not the first captain to request this,” O’Donnell said to Malan. “I made a promise a long time ago that if there was a need, whether it was equipment, mental health resources, training, or if it was an additional deputy, so long as you could justify it and explain to me what the need was for our city, then I would always be happy to support you.”

Some council members asked whether the Sheriff’s Office could simply reassign a deputy from another unit to the gang-enforcement detective role. Malan said it’s not that simple, since it is a specialized role that must be advertised department-wide if a vacancy opens.

The rest of the council, except for Contreras, also supported the proposal by the end of the discussion.

“I have seen gang crime absolutely terrorize neighborhoods in north and south Vista,” said Mayor John Franklin. “It is up to incorporated cities to pay for their own policing.”

Contreras questioned why Vista needs another detective when overall crime in the city has reduced over the years. Malan noted that gang investigations make up one small piece of the pie.

Because gang investigators will follow investigations outside of city boundaries when needed, Contreras also said it would make sense to have a cost-sharing agreement with the county for gang detectives.

Contreras also noted that the city owes thousands of dollars to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office to reimburse Vista Fire Rescue for services at the Vista Detention Center, and that this debt should be paid off first.

“Right now what I’m hearing is that we’re going to have a second gang detective in perpetuity, and I just question what the return on investment is,” Contreras said. “I think the county should pay if this is, you know, such an extraordinary need.”

Other council members said they supported having

further conversations with the county Sheriff’s Office about the money the city is owed, but they did not want to put the issue of the gang detective on hold.

“I’m definitely not going to stop a need now, for a conversation that we have to have with a different organization,” said Councilmember Jeff Fox.

City Manager John Conley said the Vista has sufficient funds in the budget to cover the additional position.

Contreras also said she would be more supportive of adding two more traffic deputies, as that would better meet the needs of local residents. Other council members said they would like to bring this discussion back at another time.

According to sheriff’s Sgt. Jeff Creighton, who supervises the North County Regional Gang Task Force, there are 17 Hispanic gangs in North County alone. In Vista, these include the Vista Home Boys (VHB) and Active Vandals, as well as Encinitas Tortilla Flats, Varrio San Marcos, Varrio Posole Locos in Oceanside, among others.

“That’s not to include any sort of outlaw motorcycle gangs or their puppet clubs or support clubs, as well as other Black and Samoan gangs that we see in Oceanside in some of the other cities, as well as any sort or White pride-type gangs as well,” Creighton said.

He noted that while street gangs do claim specific turf, they often cross city boundaries, particularly when engaged in narcotics trafficking.

Malan said there were 56 felony narcotics arrests in Vista in 2025, including

one operation that resulted in 11 arrests early in the year. Councilmember Katie Melendez asked the Sheriff’s Office to bring back data breaking down how many of these arrests were gang-related.

“I would like to know that, and I think that that’s an important question for prevention … people who may or may not be recruited by gangs to sell drugs, those are folks that would benefit from some kind of intervention, especially since this is a socioeconomic circumstance that they might find themselves in,” said Melendez.

The Vista Sheriff’s Station also operates a youth program called Rise Above, which seeks to deter young students from gang activity.

Stabbing suspect

found dead in Esco flood channel

Police are investigating the death of a stabbing suspect who was found hanging in a flood control channel last week after an earlier domestic violence-related assault, authorities said.

Officers with the Escondido Police Department responded at 7:47 p.m. to Palomar Medical Center,

where they learned a man had allegedly stabbed a woman while the two were in a vehicle near Mission Avenue and Auto Parkway. According to police, the suspect fled on foot after the stabbing while the victim drove herself to the hospital. She was listed in critical but stable condition.

Detectives with the department’s Crimes of Violence Unit searched the area for the suspect, who was believed to be armed with a knife.

At 10:04 p.m. April 30, detectives and paramedics with the Escondido Fire Department responded to a report of a man hanging in the flood control channel footpath near Fig Street. Officers identified the man as the same suspect wanted in connection with the earlier stabbing, police said.

The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives are seeking additional witnesses to the stabbing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Escondido Police Department at 760839-4722 or Detective Greg Clark at 760-839-4450.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned o may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying o all liens senior to the lien being auctioned o , before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s o ce or a title insurance company,

Starting March 1, 2026, Federal Law may prohibit ZBS Law from issuing a Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale in connection with this trustee’s sale until information about the winning bidder is reported to the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. See, 31 CFR § 1031.320 (https:// www.ecfr.gov/current/ title-31/subtitle-B/chapter-X/ part-1031/subpart-C/ section-1031.320). If this trustee’s sale quali es as a “reportable transfer” under 31 CFR § 1031.320(b), and you, as buyer, qualify as a “transferee entity” under 31 CFR § 1031.320(e)(1) or “transferee trust” under 31 CFR § 1031.320(e)(2), you will be obligated to provide information about the Bene cial Owner(s) of the transferee to ZBS Law or ZBS Law’s designated representative. If you qualify as an exempt entity or trust under 31 CFR § 1031.320(n) (10-(11), you may be required to provide evidence of the exemption supported by a declaration under penalty of perjury. If the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale cannot be issued due to a quali ed transferee’s failure or inability to provide the necessary reporting information, the quali ed transferee will be responsible for all fees and costs to re-notice the trustee’s sale. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, bene ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866) 266-7512 or visit this internet website www. elitepostandpub.com, using the 26-77457. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be re ected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (866) 266-7512, or visit this internet website www. elitepostandpub.com, using the 26-77457 to nd the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for

Encinitas balks at state’s vacation rental changes

City OKs native garden, postpones Wiro Park plans

By Cameron Adams ENCINITAS —

The Encinitas City Council last month decided to stick with its current short-term rental ordinance and continue negotiating with the California Coastal Commission over a proposed reduction to the city’s three-night minimum stay requirement for non-hosted vacation rentals.

In 2021, the council initiated a reevaluation of how the city would regulate property owners renting units on a short-term basis, including through platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo, according to city documents.

In December 2022, the council adopted two ordinances seeking to establish limitations on short-term rentals, including a 4% cap on non-hosted short-term rentals west of Interstate 5; a 2.5% cap citywide; a 200-foot minimum radius between non-hosted shortterm rentals; and language regarding permit renewal or revocation.

According to city data, Encinitas currently has 319 short-term rentals throughout the city and 257 west of Interstate 5. Regarding the proposed policy, the city has 251 non-hosted units citywide and 207 west of Interstate 5. Those account for 0.96% of the housing stock citywide and 2.2% west of Interstate 5.

In October 2023, city staff submitted that suite of proposed changes to the California Coastal Commission. At a Feb. 5, 2026, hearing, the commission approved all the amendments, but with modifications changing the city’s current three-night minimum stay to a two-night minimum for non-hosted short-term rentals.

That left the current City Council at a fork in the road: keep its existing three-night minimum stay or accept the Coastal Commission’s modification.

Councilmember Joy Lyndes — who was part of the original 2021 ad hoc subcommittee along with then-Mayor Tony Kranz — said she would prefer to accept the Coastal Commission’s modification for now in order to establish the other limitations and then return to the state agency to renegotiate the stay minimum.

“I see it as a tradeoff,” Lyndes said. “Is it more important for us to have the cap and the 200-foot radius or to double down and say, ‘We’re going to keep the three nights for non-hosted?’”

Councilmember Luke Shaffer said the three-night minimum was “a much greater deterrent to a certain type of group” more prone to excessive partying than the 200-foot distance minimum.

Shaffer also questioned

the value of the percentage caps, saying he believed the marketplace for short-term rentals was “self-regulating right now to some level.”

During the April 22 meeting, the council voted 3-2 — with Shaffer, Deputy Mayor Jim O’Hara and Councilmember Marco San Antonio voting in favor, and Lyndes and Mayor Bruce Ehlers opposed — to deny an ordinance that would codify the Coastal Commission’s modification and instead have city staff return at a later date with a different ordinance proposal that included all the policies the city wanted.

Ehlers said locking down most of the regulations — particularly the 200-foot minimum distance and the percentage caps — now would make the subsequent request to the commission “much, much smaller” by only needing to tweak the night-stay minimum rather than renegotiate everything.

Charlotte Brenner, a planner with the city, said the “unexpected modification” was part of an effort by the Coastal Commission to preserve beach access.

“The Coastal Commission found that a threenight minimum stay requirement does not align with the traditional 5-day work week, thereby limiting availability of coastal access for visitors and creating an equity issue,” Brenner said.

Shaffer countered that Encinitas beaches remain accessible to all because free parking is available near the coast.

Neighboring cities

At the same Coastal Commission meeting in February, the nearby coastal North County city of Del Mar received approval for a three-night minimum stay.

Brenner said that, based on extensive data submitted by the cities, the commission concluded that Del Mar served fewer visitors “because they’re such a small city.”

Solana Beach has a seven-night minimum stay requirement.

Noting the subset of the city included in Del Mar’s calculations and the weeklong minimum in neighboring Solana Beach, Ehlers speculated that Encinitas would have a strong argument for adjusting a two-night minimum stay to three nights if it accepted the rest of the tools the commission approved.

“I think we can make one heck of a good argument in the future when we come back to it that we could get a three-night stay,” Ehlers said. “And I think three nights is the correct one. I think seven is too much.”

Shaffer said that between Del Mar’s midnight curfew and the fact that “Solana Beach doesn't have the greatest nightlife, that puts us as the first major nightlife north of PB (Pacific Beach)."

He added that holding out for the three-night minimum would help deter the worst effects associated

with such uses.

“When you hit the two nights, it's easier for a bunch of college kids to throw down a bunch of money and you know, frat houses to come in and have a place to party for a night,” Shaffer said. “And it's just not what this community was designed around. I don't mind tourism, but done right.”

Lyndes said the 200foot minimum could also play an important role in maintaining community character.

“When you're getting a whole street that ends up being taken over by shortterm vacation rentals, you no longer have a residential street,” she said. “You have an active hospitality zone. And that's my fear.”

Lyndes said preventing disruptive short-term stays while being fair to vacation rental owners creates “a delicate balance.”

“I would rather make the bet right now on the sure thing that limits the number of short-term vacation rentals by the cap and by the distance because I think that's going to be a real value to our communities to preserve our community context and to preserve our quality of life,” she said.

O’Hara said the discussion touched on broader conversations surrounding housing.

“We need to figure out how to limit corporate ownership of properties in Encinitas,” he said. “It's not helping anybody. It's not helping our short-term rentals, it's not helping our long-term rentals, it's making it less affordable. I think to a certain degree you [Lyndes] just brought it full circle to the quality of life question.”

O’Hara said the issue had “no perfect answer — big shocker there as far as government goes” but ultimately voted to return to the Coastal Commission at a future date in order to lock in the three-night minimum stay.

Leucadia garden

The City Council approved plans for a native plant demonstration garden at a Leucadia park while sending proposed changes at Wiro Park in Olivenhain back for additional public input.

The project marks one of the first visible implementations of the city’s recently adopted native plant ordinance, part of a broader push to reduce water use, replace turf and encourage

uments.

Howard Pierce, a landscape architect with MW Peltz and Associates, said the native plants would be divided into three communities — oak woodland, transitional areas and pollinators — to take advantage of the site’s varying conditions.

Pierce said his team would “be very careful about the existing root systems” of trees that will remain and that the irrigation system can “isolate the garden on its own system so that we can control irrigation in the native garden.”

drought-tolerant landscaping across Encinitas.

Earlier this year, Encinitas adopted a historic native plant ordinance and approved plans for the Leucadia Oaks Native Plant Demonstration Garden, with further development assistance to come from the community.

David Norgard, the city’s parks operations manager, said Leucadia Oaks Park is a “well-loved park” with many different spaces for a variety of uses.

Plans for the park call for modeling the use of native plants and creating an educational opportunity for community members to see how their homes might incorporate similar features. The approved fiscal year 2024-25 budget included $150,000 for the design and installation of the garden, according to city doc-

“The oak woodland plants are typically plants that are found in forested or highly treated areas,” Pierce said. “They grow well under oaks. They adapt well to the shade that they receive because of the trees. A transitional plant would be somewhere in between — that going from full sun to part shade so they can accommodate both. And then pollinators are usually a plant that requires full sun, but that’s where all the flowers spring yearly and every year they attract butterflies, lots of wildlife, hummingbirds, that sort of thing.”

The plans also call for removing much of the turfgrass. Pierce said, “turf is highly intensive from a maintenance standpoint and also requires a lot of water — two things that are in direct contrast to what we’re trying to achieve with native plants.”

He added that several non-native trees would be removed, along with portions of an existing postand-rail fence. The design includes new fencing and a pathway to guide visitors through the garden.

He added that elements of the final plans are still in progress.

Mark Wisniewski, a local advocate, used additional donated time to suggest changes during public comment at the April 22 meeting when the plans were discussed.

He advocated for expanded educational components, three benches instead of the planned two, and the inclusion of a water feature for birds and other pollinators.

Wisniewski said he hopes two mature southern live oaks can be preserved, noting they are estimated at about $40,000.

“They do provide shade at different times of the day — the park bench, the table and benches are shaded,” he said. “The plant underneath it — that snapdragon, the firecracker — the Calscape website says it’s a great plant for underneath oaks and hummingbirds love it, other birds and butterflies. So, it’s already making a demonstration native plant garden just by leaving it in place at no cost.”

San Marcos plans 260 affordable units in Creek area

By Leo Place

SAN

MARCOS —

San Marcos and developer Affirmed Housing are entering into an exclusive negotiating agreement for the potential development of 260 affordable housing units across two cityowned parcels in the Creek District.

One parcel, known as the Creekside parcel, is located along Creekside Drive between Bent Avenue and Eastgate Drive and measures 0.83 acres.

The other parcel, known as the Truss parcel, is located along Via Vera Cruz just south of the Galleria Vera Cruz shopping center, and measures 2.91 acres.

San Marcos has retained the two sites, around a quarter mile apart, for an eventual affordable housing development since the state dissolved redevelopment agencies back in 2012.

The city issued a notice of funding availability for the development of the parcels in 2024 and selected a proposal from Affirmed Housing.

On April 28, the City Council approved the exclusive negotiating agreement with Affirmed Housing on the consent calendar.

“The proposed developer, Affirmed Housing, presented the strongest proposal with the highest value to the City with no local or state funding, and

payment to the City for the land,” a city staff report states.

Affirmed Housing proposes constructing 203 units ranging from one to two bedrooms (including two manager’s units) at the Truss parcel, split between four stories. The ground floor would feature live-work units, according to Affirmed Housing’s proposal.

At the Creekside parcel, Affirmed Housing proposes 57 one-bedroom units, including one manager’s unit, in a three-story building.

All units at both sites would be deed-restricted to income levels ranging from 30% to 70% of the area me -

dian income.

“Affirmed Housing is committed to addressing the City of San Marcos’ housing needs by proposing a thoughtfully designed, scattered site development aimed at serving low-income families,” the developer’s proposal states.

The exclusive negotiating agreement lasts through April of 2027, with the eventual goal of reaching a project agreement and selling the two properties to Affirmed Housing. During the agreement period, Affirmed Housing must submit detailed designs, a financing plan, and a development schedule to the city.

The value of the two properties is currently es-

timated at around $5 million, according to the city staff report.

The project will eventually be reviewed by the City Council for approval.

San Marcos is also planning the eventual extension of Creekside Drive, which would run alongside the two buildings just north of Paseo del Arroyo Park and the San Marcos Creek.

Affirmed Housing also developed the Alora and Estrella projects, which replaced the former Mariposa Apartments in San Marcos’ Richmar neighborhood with 196 new affordable apartments between two sites.

Encinitas OKs four-way stop near YMCA

In an effort to slow traffic and improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians, the Encinitas City Council approved adding a four-way stop on Saxony Road and removing the existing chicane.

The roadway changes affect the intersection at the northern entrance to the Ecke YMCA.

In addition to the fourway stop signs, the plans call for adding marked crosswalks and restriping portions of the roadway to provide on-street parking and bike lanes. The project is expected to cost $90,000, according to city documents.

The change was first proposed by Deputy Mayor Jim O’Hara at the Jan. 28 City Council meeting.

At that meeting, O’Hara said the goal was to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety while also addressing dangerous driver behavior on that stretch of road.

“What we’re looking to do is make it safer for pedestrians specifically and also to slow traffic down and create less of a cutthrough street for Saxony,” he said.

Jane Best, an Encinitas resident who lives nearby, called that stretch of Saxony Road “a highway” at the January meeting.

The plans were approved unanimously by the City Council at the April 22 meeting.

Escondido finalizes new gift policy

Escondido elected officials unanimously agreed early last month to establish a new policy for receiving gifts from donors to ensure consistency, accountability and financial responsibility for maintaining donated items.

The policy establishes a formal framework for evaluating, accepting, declining, documenting and acknowledging donations to the city. Prior to the new policy, approved by the City Council on April 8, the city historically accepted donations through a combination of department-level practices and individual council actions, depending on a donation’s nature and value.

The city regularly receives donation offers from individuals, community groups and nonprofit organizations. While the city notes that it appreciates the community’s generosity, it must still consider the financial obligations, legal liabilities, maintenance responsibilities and operational impacts that a donation may entail.

According to city staff, the policy provides consistency for accepting donations that the city previously lacked. It also clarifies that donors must approach the city with gifts, not the other way around.

“The donor has to approach the city, and it’s clear there can be no reciprocation from the donor,” said City Manager Sean McGlynn. “All these gifts need to be coming from an applicant to the city.”

The policy covers monetary contributions, personal or real property, public artwork or artifacts, equipment or in-kind goods and services, securities, endowments and other assets.

The city’s 40-foot-high archway on Grand Avenue was a gift made possible by a $1 million donation to the Escondido Community Foundation, which then used the funds to donate the arch to the city.

Donations exceeding $200,000 will automatically be sent to the City Council for consideration following staff review.

City to fix Ponto sewer line

By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD

— The City of Carlsbad has identified and begun the process of repairing a section of sewer pipe in the western part of the city.

During a routine inspection of the North Batiquitos Interceptor Sewer in the Ponto Beach area on April 14, a city consultant identified a partial collapse in a 27-inch-diameter vitrified clay pipe, according to city documents.

To expedite the repair process, City Manager Geoff Patnoe declared a local emergency on April 30 that will remain in place until the May 12 City Council meeting.

Because the damaged pipe was identified during a routine inspection, repair work is expected to have no impact on sewer or water services, including no leaking sewage.

“This is an example of why we invest in regular inspections and ongoing maintenance throughout the City of Carlsbad,” Patnoe said in a statement. “As infrastructure ages, unforeseen repair needs could arise from time to time.”

Both the pipe and the repair area are located near the intersection of Poinsettia Lane and Avenida Encinas in a rail corridor area and within a protected habitat that includes sensitive species.

“The city is working closely with partner agencies and environmental specialists to ensure all work is completed safely and with minimal impact to the surrounding area,” the city said in a release.

Construction will include temporarily rerouting sewer flows to remove and repair the partially collapsed pipe. The work is expected to begin this week and take approximately two weeks to complete.

Construction

The City of Carlsbad clarified rules governing the temporary staging of construction equipment and materials on public property or public rights-of-way for city-related construction or maintenance projects.

Jeff Murphy, deputy city manager, said the need for nearby staging space is typical for street improvement projects.

“For small projects, staging areas can usually be located within the public right of way near the construction site,” Murphy said. “However, for larger or longer duration projects, staging within the same right of way is not always feasible.”

In those cases, construction crews often prefer to stage building materials on a nearby public road or other public property. Murphy said the municipal code did not previously provide a clear mechanism to allow for those alternative tempo-

In loving memory of Doris “Dody”

Crawford Tucker February 3, 1951November 23, 2025

Doris “Dody” Crawford Tucker passed away peacefully, but unexpectedly, on November 23, 2025, at her home in Encinitas.

She left just as she lived - surrounded by art, music, and quiet, comfortable in a space that reflected her spirit: creative, independent, and deeply attuned to beauty in all its forms.

Born in Mazatlán, Mexico, Dody was one of five children.

She spent her early years moving between Indiana, Kansas, and Arizona, developing an independence and creative perspective that would shape her life.

It was in Arizona where she met Gary Tucker, beginning a lifelong partnership.

Gary’s work brought them to Cardiff-by-the-Sea in 1977. They married in 1978 and welcomed their first son, Morgan.

The family later moved to Oceanside, where their second son, Niles, was born, before settling in Encinitas, which became their forever home.

In 1984, Gary and Dody purchased the Moonlight Beach 7-Eleven, where the two of them could be seen frequently, becoming a fixture in the community for more than two decades.

Together, they became part of the fabric of Encinitas, he through his daily presence, and she through her artistic contributions.

Dody was an artist in the truest sense - curious, expressive, and wholly original.

She was a longtime contributor to the Encinitas Arts Alive program, where her banners lined downtown streets for many years, bringing color and imagination to everyday life.

Her connection to Arts Alive and the 101 Artists’ Colony remained deeply meaningful throughout her life, a reflection of her enduring desire to stay connected to the creative community she loved.

For Dody, art was not separate from her life. It was how she experienced the world, through color, texture, and feeling, and how she chose to share that perspective with others.

She was endlessly curious, engaging deeply with films, music, and unexpected ideas, always searching for meaning beneath the surface.

Drawn to the unconventional and avant-garde, she had a sharp intellect, a dry sense of humor, and a perspective that was entirely her own.

At the same time, her life was grounded in quieter rituals: tending to her garden, caring for her dogs, and shaping a home that reflected her sensibilities.

Share the story of your loved ones life... because every life has a story.

“Although it’s di cult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.”

She valued solitude, authenticity, and the freedom to live life on her own terms.

Dody will be remembered for her independent spirit, artistic voice, keen intellect, and unapologetic uniqueness.

She shaped how those closest to her see the world, what they notice, what they question, and what they find beautiful.

She leaves us with a passage from her favorite book,The Void Captain’s Tale: “From nothing are we born, to nothing do we go; the universe we know is but the void looped back upon itself, and form but illusion’s final veil.”

Dody loved deeply and was loved by many. She was preceded in death by her husband Gary, her parents Robert and Leonor, and her sisters Teresa and Linda. She is survived by her sons Morgan Tucker (Emily Tucker) and Niles Tucker (Michelle Tucker), and her siblings Guy Crawford (Wendy Crawford) and Janet Crawford (Michael Wortham). She leaves loving memories with her grandchildren Phoebe Tucker, Evan Tucker, and many extended family members and friends.

Those who wish to remember and celebrate Dody’s life are encouraged to attend the 2026 Encinitas Arts Alive banner launch on May 9, where the work of local artists will once again line Coast Highway.

It is a living reflection of the creative community she loved and helped build.

Ex-Navy pilot’s Mendoza malbec finds Leucadia

One of the side benefits of the regular sunset sessions at Beacons I attend is the wide range of interesting and creative people I’ve met there.

One is Ray Hoffmann, former US Navy aviator and accomplished winemaker. Turns out his winemaking adventures have taken him to the Mendoza region of Argentina, known for its malbec, and also Michigan wine country.

With that, it was a great opportunity for me to get educated on a wine I knew little about and be treated to a world-class paella din ner with Ray and his family and a fun Lick the Plate in terview that can be heard at lick-the-plate.com.

LTP: Before I get into your amazing wine, you had a fascinating career and family history as aviators in the US Navy. Tell me about that.

RH: Dad was career Navy pilot. Grew up East and West Coast but spent most of my childhood in California. Went to middle school at Twin Peaks in Po way, then dad got relocated to Annapolis, Maryland. When I graduated from Annapolis High School in 1978, my dad retired and moved to Holland, Michi gan, to start a new career. He served during Vietnam and my brother and I grad uated from US Naval Acad emy and both went to flight school in Pensacola, Florida.

My brother and I were career Navy pilots, each serving 20-plus years in air craft carrier naval aviation. My first duty station was at Miramar in the mid-1980s, then I was transferred to Lemoore in the early 1990s where I flew FA-18s for the remainder of my career.

LTP: How did you get from a family of aviators to the wine business…in Ar gentina?

RH: During our time in California, my folks frequently visited wineries in Napa and Central Coast areas and developed a love for wine. We were introduced to wine pretty early. While I enjoyed wine, I was much more a beer drinker. I ventured to Paso Robles to the wineries and started making wine in Paso with friends that were getting into the wine business. Of course, I would bring home brew, because as winemakers know, it takes a lot of beer to make a good wine!

I developed my winemaking expertise in Paso Robles and used my California style in producing our Hoffmann Vineyards line of wines. Meanwhile, back in Michigan, my parents would make trips to California and buy wine and eventually, my dad invested in Chateau Chantel (CC), located on the Old Mission Peninsula in Traverse City. He helped CC purchase a vineyard in Mendoza to expand their red wine portfolio and start a wholesale line.

Chateau Chantal eventually sold the vineyard to Hoffmann Vineyards in 2013. CC transported the finished product to Michigan for blending, and Hoffmann Vineyards kept a small portion of the reserve grapes for a new line of wines: Three Boys Rock and Pirates Rock Malbec.

the decision to add that to your offerings, and how it is different than others?

RH: My partners in Mendoza wanted to make a rosé in the 2021 harvest, and it’s a rosé of malbec. After we crush, we keep the must on skins for a day or two to get the color we want, then press off the juice before fermentation.

Our 2021 Rosé was a little too dry for me, so I made some adjustments in the 2023 elaboration to bring out more fruit character, and the result is a dry, fruity, balanced and crisp rosé that pairs well with just about anything. Great chilled on a warm day, with appetizers or even a main course like paella.

About 30 years ago, during one of my winemaking weeks with winemakers Tobin James and Larry Gomez (Via Vega), we decided to make a seafood paella. Larry had made paella and taught me the recipe. Took us half a day to make it, but it was delicious, and I had to learn and master this dish!

Classrooms are not locker rooms, schools say

Issue at heart of class-action suit against SFC

By Noah Perkins SOLANA BEACH —

Across North County campuses, public school officials say there is little ambiguity about where visiting student-athletes prepare for games: they either arrive dressed or use designated locker rooms and athletic facilities to change.

What school district officials describe as uncommon — and outside their own athletic policies — is the use of classrooms or auxiliary spaces as changing areas for visiting teams.

That distinction is now central to a class-action lawsuit against Santa Fe Christian Schools, filed and served last month by three student-athletes from Francis Parker School who allege they were secretly recorded while using a choir room during a basketball game at the private Christian school earlier this season.

In statements provided to The Coast News, officials from the San Dieguito Union High School District and the San Marcos Unified School District — neither of which is involved in the current litigation — said their practices are designed to separate instructional spaces from athletic use, consistent with California Interscholastic Federation standards.

“Scheduling is coordinated in advance of each season, with game and practice

schedules submitted ahead of time,” said Christine Lee, an SMUSD spokesperson.

“Site teams then develop facility use plans to minimize conflicts, with games and contests typically taking priority over practices when space is limited. When hosting visiting teams, schools follow standard protocols to support a safe and organized experience.

“If locker room access is requested and available, it may be provided, with visiting team staff responsible for supervising their students. Schools also coordinate logistics in advance to support smooth operations. Our schools utilize designated athletic facilities for team use and do not use classrooms or other non-traditional spaces as locker rooms.”

After reviewing practices across the district’s five high schools, Edwin Mendoza, San Dieguito Union High School District’s communications coordinator, said the district follows similar standards.

“Athletic events are coordinated by school-based athletic departments that ensure appropriate scheduling, supervision, and facility use,” he said. “These practices are consistent with the expectations set by the CIF and the CIF San Diego Section for safe, well-supervised athletic environments.

In most cases, visiting teams arrive dressed and do not require locker room facilities. When changing is needed, it is limited to our sites’ visitor locker rooms, restrooms, or other designated changing areas intended for that purpose.

“Visiting coaches are expected to remain with their teams while on campus, and locker rooms are to be locked when teams are not present. Our district schools do not use classrooms or other instructional spaces as locker rooms.”

The lawsuit against Santa Fe Christian Schools centers on a different arrangement, alleging that visiting student-athletes were directed to a choir room to change into their basketball uniforms.

Ellen Adler, attorney for the Francis Parker students, said the students first learned they had been videotaped after Santa Fe Christian contacted Francis Parker administrators to report an “incident in the choir room that had created a mess.”

A spokesperson for Santa Fe Christian said school personnel reviewed classroom security video after becoming aware of “damage to the choir classroom” following the game, using it to determine what occurred before contacting visiting school administrators.

A spokesperson for Santa Fe Christian said the choir room is occasionally used as a meeting space for visiting teams, while any changing is directed to nearby restrooms. Security cameras are installed in classrooms throughout campus, but not in locker rooms or restrooms.

Citing pending litigation and privacy concerns, neither school would pro-

San Marcos HS alum finding his role with Aztecs

By Noah Perkins

Torrey Pines alum

Kevin Vance, in his first season as head coach at San Diego State, offered Aztecs freshman infielder Max Farrell some advice at the start of the season: take it one pitch at a time.

Farrell, a Carlsbad native out of San Marcos High School, earned first-team All-CIF San Diego Section honors as a senior. Vance arrived at San Diego State after an NCAA Men’s College World Series run as an assistant coach at the University of Arizona.

Two North County natives are now figuring out Aztec baseball from the same dugout.

“The biggest adjustment is the pace of play and the level of play,” Farrell told The Coast News. “Physically and mentally, you’re playing four or five times a week. You have to take your health seriously, focus on recovery, and prepare mentally. You don’t have time to soak in a bad performance or live in the success of the last game — you have to focus on each game, each pitch.”

“He’s taken his lumps as a freshman,” Vance said, “but he has a really good approach. Max is the hardest worker on our team. When we’re working with him, it’s a coach’s dream. We have

to tell him to go home, stop hitting in the cage. That’s the type of kid he is.

“From our perspective, that’s exactly what you look for — guys who want to get better every day. And he does, almost to a fault. Sometimes we have to tell him, ‘Hey man, go rest.’”

Adding to the adjustment of Division I baseball, Farrell has moved around the batting order for the 30-18 Aztecs (first in the

Mountain West at 13-5) and has also learned a position he had never played before: first base.

Farrell credited his adaptability to San Marcos head coach Jeff Dufek.

“[Dufek] preached working hard and having a blue-collar mentality,” said Farrell, who hit .340 with 17 home runs and 74 RBI in 98 games as a Knight. “That’s what sticks with me — every day, no matter the circum-

stances, just putting your head down and working as hard as you can.”

At SDSU, Farrell, a 6-foot right-handed hitter, is hitting .287 with six home runs and 34 RBI.

“Going one pitch at a time has helped me a lot,” he said. “Not getting too nervous or too emotional about the situation — just focusing on what’s important now and trying to win.”

“He’s got a natural

knack for hitting,” Vance said. “He’s on a different level than most freshmen — physically and mentally mature in a lot of ways.”

Farrell has also leaned on SDSU’s upperclassmen as he’s adjusted to the college game, crediting teammates Tyce Peterson, Jabin Trosky and Dawson Santana as mentors during his freshman season.

“We have a great team full of good teammates,” he said. “They help guide me and keep things loose, whether things are going well or not, just keeping me in a good headspace.”

On Farrell’s decision to stay local, Vance said, “The dude loves San Diego.”

“Playing at Tony Gwynn

Stadium is everything I’ve been dreaming of,” Farrell added. “At the beginning of the season, coming out to empty stands and practicing, I didn’t know what it would feel like to play in front of a big crowd. So when I came out of the clubhouse and saw everyone here, it was definitely an exciting moment.”

The Aztecs’ regular season runs through May 16, with the Mountain West Championship set for May 21-24 in Mesa, Arizona.

“I think the team has made a lot of big jumps,” Farrell said. “We’ve continued to get better, and I don’t think we’re playing our best baseball yet. There’s another level for us.”

SDA grad reaches for stars in NASA design challenge

By Cameron Adams ENCINITAS — Nicolai Diaz has

always been a dreamer.

Diaz, a 2023 graduate of San Dieguito Academy, said he was “always known as the space kid” and had an Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University pamphlet thumbtacked to the wall of his bedroom.

He now attends Embry-Riddle, studying aerospace engineering, will spend the upcoming summer working on a lunar lander project, and led the development of a device used during spacewalks on the International Space Station that will be tested by astronauts and engineers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston at the end of the month.

“Looking back, if I told my 8th-grade self that this was happening, his mind would be blown,” Diaz said. “It’s been such, such an incredible, incredible thing to be going through and such a privilege to challenge myself and to be challenged and to be able to meet all these amazing people.”

Diaz and six other Embry-Riddle students — “six of my good friends, well, now good friends,” he said — took part in NASA’s Micro-Gravity Neutral Buoyancy Experiment Design Team Challenge. The annual program asks college undergraduates to design, build and test a device that addresses a real-world prob-

lem with space exploration.

This year’s challenge involved finding a better way to attach the space drill to astronauts’ tool belts when outside the International Space Station.

“We came up with prototype after prototype after prototype,” Diaz said.

They called their team the “Micro-Nauts” and gathered at a coffee shop in January to see if their proposal would be selected for the next round of testing from among thousands of submissions.

The Micro-Nauts were one of 16 teams selected to advance and were joined by two other Embry-Riddle teams.

“The first thing that we thought, of course, after our celebration, was, ‘Wow, we’ve got a lot of work cut out for us,’” Diaz said. “But we knew that it was going to be absolutely amazing and absolutely worth every second, every late night.”

They launched a GoFundMe and assessed how much the university could contribute to test, develop, retest and tweak their design.

Diaz said he cannot wait to test their device in NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Lab later in the month.

“We’re going to be in the earpiece with the astronauts that are in the pool with the life-size replica of

the international space station doing these procedures and pushing our device to its limits,” he said.

The project will not be the only space-related reason bringing Diaz to the Lone Star State this summer.

On May 11, he will begin an internship with Firefly Aerospace, working on the Blue Ghost.

Firefly Aerospace, based in Cedar Park, Texas, was the first private company to successfully land upright on the moon, according to a news release

“They’re about the size of a startup, but they’ve got the momentum of a company that’s been around for

a long time,” Diaz said. “So they’ve been doing some really great things and it’s an incredible opportunity to have this internship. It wouldn’t be possible without the experience that I’ve been doing, like the NASA project.”

The project comes shortly after NASA completed Artemis II, a nearly 10-day mission around the moon that splashed down off the coast of San Diego on April 10. The expedition marks the agency’s latest push to return astronauts to the lunar surface and eventually send humans to Mars.

Diaz credits much of his success to an emphasis on the why rather than focusing on the what.

“A lot of the people I know at Embry-Riddle, a lot of my good friends, spent their extracurriculars doing robotics and doing all these extra projects,” Diaz said.

“I think what’s really funny is, I tell them, ‘Hey, I did sports. I did theater in my early days of high school. I did these things that aren’t really STEM-focused.

“When it comes to extracurriculars in high school, specifically, it’s more about the passion underlying. I know I want to go here, and I know I can still do the other things that I enjoy, and I know I can still push myself. And hey, even if I’m not matching up with all these people that have this background, it doesn’t

mean that I shouldn’t try.”

Genomics leader Craig Venter

dies in San Diego Research scientist J. Craig Venter, whose work helped define modern genomics and launched the field of synthetic biology, died April 29 in San Diego after recently being diagnosed with cancer. He was 79.

The J. Craig Venter Institute, which is based in La Jolla and Rockville, Maryland, announced the institute’s founder, board chair and chief executive officer’s passing on Wednesday. Venter died following a brief hospitalization for unexpected side effects that arose from cancer treatment, according to the institute.

Venter helped move genomics from slow, gene-bygene discovery to scalable, data-driven science — and demonstrated that genomes could be designed and constructed.

“Craig believed that science moves forward when people are willing to think differently, move decisively, and build what doesn’t yet exist,” JCVI President Anders Dale said. “His leadership and vision reshaped genomics and helped ignite synthetic biology.

Fooling the rodents for the sake of sunflowers

jano’s garden

Iwork with a group of 10 senior gardeners in a community garden at the Carlsbad Senior Center. In our 20-foot raised bed, we grow mostly vegetables, in an effort to grow what we can eat.

Our one exception is sunflowers, which is the favorite flower of the group. We use the mammoth Russian variety, which grow to 7 feet. For the first two years in our senior garden, we essentially won the prize for the tallest flowers growing in the entire community garden. Our beauties rose to 7 feet, and we carefully harvested seeds to plant the following year. The flowers were planted against a metal lattice fence in the middle of the garden plot.

But last year, a squirrel appeared. He seemed to enjoy the area directly beneath the metal lattice, and made a huge hole there. He also ate almost all of the sunflower seeds. As a horticulturist, I researched all the possibilities of ridding our garden of this nasty rodent.

Due to the fact that the property is owned by the city of Carlsbad, we were

unable to use a conventional trap that a homeowner might use. If a trap was set, someone would have to remove the varmint and take him somewhere. But where? We decided to try to get rid of him with a non-chemical deterrent.

Deterrents

After doing the research, we finally decided upon a product called Repels-All by Bonide, which contains “putrescent whole egg solids, garlic, fish oil and

cloves,” designed to give off a scent that deters animals from the area.

We applied the product to the rodent’s hole each week, but I returned daily to find the dirt roughed up and the sunflower seeds eaten.

Finally, after five applications, we gave up! He continued to come back to our spot, and we decided to wait until the following year.

What rodents want

I interviewed a veterinarian who told me that lo-

cal squirrels prefer to sleep in cool, damp areas and find a spot where they can burrow each night. He (we called our squirrel a “he”) wasn’t doing too much damage to most of the crops, and just wanted a place to sleep.

An unusual solution

Last month, as we planted our usual crops, I hesitated to take a chance on planting sunflower seeds. I still had seeds left over from last year, so I decided to go for it.

One of the gardeners in the class, Doris Shiller, said, “What if we just ignore him?” I decided that the squirrel and I were going to have

to share the fence, so I began planting. After creating six mounds for the crop, I planted 10 seeds per mound.

After watering, I placed red Solo plastic cups on top of each mound and secured them with small rocks. As soon as the sprouts popped through the ground, I cut a hole in the top of the cups.

In a few weeks, they were growing strong with the stems leaning against the fence. On one side of the fence were our sunflowers, and on the other side was the squirrel’s burrow deep underground.

Peaceful coexistence

We continue to throw dirt into the squirrel’s hole,

but he doesn’t seem to disturb the crops. He is still there, and we see the dirt being thrown out of his hole every few days, but the sunflowers have survived, thanks to the red cups! As is the case with so many frustrating situations in our vegetable garden, in the end we must simply decide what will stay and what will go.

Online trust has shifted digital 101

By Rich Henrich

Scroll through any buying decision today and you’ll see the pattern: before clicking “buy,” people check the stars. Platforms like Google Reviews, Yelp, and Amazon have quietly reshaped how trust is built—and where it’s lost.

For years, brands leaned on advertising and influencer campaigns to shape perception. That model hasn’t disappeared, but it has been re-ordered. Consumers now look for proof before persuasion. A polished post means little if it isn’t backed by dozens—or hundreds—of consistent, real customer experiences.

This shift doesn’t diminish the role of influencers; it refines it. The most effective creators today don’t manufacture hype—they spotlight what’s already validated. When a business has strong, authentic reviews, influencer content becomes an amplifier. Without that foundation, even the best campaign struggles to convert.

For business owners, the implication is clear: growth is no longer driven by visibility alone. It’s driven by verifiable trust at scale.

That means engineering experiences worth talking about, making it easy for customers to share feedback, and using that feedback as a core marketing asset—not an afterthought. The companies winning right now aren’t guessing what resonates; they’re building systems that consistently generate and showcase real customer sentiment.

The opportunity is significant. Reviews influence everything from local search rankings to conversion rates, and they compound over time.

When paired with strategic content and the right voices, they create a powerful flywheel: experience, review, amplification, repeat.

The question isn’t whether your business is being reviewed—it is. The question is whether you’re actively shaping that narrative, or letting it happen without you.

For those ready to lead in this new landscape, the path forward is both simple and demanding: earn the trust, capture it, and then scale it. Reach out, we can help you.

Odd Files

Special Delivery

When Ashley Blair boarded her flight to Portland, Oregon, she was about 38 weeks pregnant. By the time the plane landed, she was a new mom. Brielle Renee Blair was born on April 24 on a Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Portland, the Associated Press reported.

Two passengers, paramedics Tina Fritz and Kaarin Powell, helped deliver the baby. With limited supplies available on board, Fritz and Powell had to improvise.

They gathered blankets from other passengers and even shoelaces, to tie off the umbilical cord. Blair gave three “super, really good pushes, and the baby came out really quickly,” Fritz said. “It was nice. ... Baby pinked up right away. She was gorgeous. Mom was a rock star.”

Personnel from Portland Airport Fire & Rescue “found the mother and baby healthy, and the new family was transported to a local hospital for observation,” Port of Portland spokesperson Molly Prescott said. [AP, 4/28/26]

Unleash the Bees

Rebecca Woods, 59, of Massachusetts, was found guilty of assault and battery after unleashing hives of bees on officers who were in the process of evicting a friend of hers, The Guardian reported on April 28. One officer had to be hospitalized and others were stung repeatedly.

In addition, Woods lost about a thousand bees in the kerfuffle. Some were crushed by the hives as she tried to move them, and some were female honeybees that perished after employing their stingers.

Woods’ lawyer, Mary Saldarelli, said that Woods’ own experiences with being evicted compelled her to intervene on her friend’s behalf, a cancer patient in his 80s.

• Meanwhile, in Arizona, two men were attacked by what sheriff’s deputies called a “moving black cloud of hundreds of thousands of angry bees,” People Magazine reported on April 29.

The Greenlee County Sheriff’s Office described the men as “completely covered head to toe in bees.”

Firefighters donned protective gear, but the bees still managed to sting several on their heads. No ambulances were available, so the men got a ride to the hospital in the fire truck while firefighters picked the bees off them.

Officials were unable to locate a hive, and suspect the bees were part of a migrating swarm. Both men have been released from the hospital. [People, 4/29/26]

Oddly Specific

A speed limit sign in Appleton, Wisconsin, is giving motorists pause. UPI reported on April 29 that the Outagamie County Recycling and Solid Waste announced their new speed limit: 17.3 miles per hour. Program Coordinator Jordan Hiller hopes the sign is just disruptive enough to make drivers slow down and be more aware of their surroundings.

Hole-y Ground

Christine Keilback, 58, of Manitoba, found herself in a hole, UPI reported on April 28. No, really, an actual hole. She had just stepped out of her friends’ car when she fell feet first into a hole in the ground.

Buried up to her armpits, she waved at passersby and had her friends snap photos while they waited for Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service to rescue her.

“When they came around, it was quite surprising to find my head and shoulders just above the ground. The ground had just given away very fast. I have no recollection of the fall. It just happened very quickly,” Keilback said.

Paramedics used a harness to pull Keilback out of the hole, and she made it out unharmed. City officials who surveyed the situation determined that the hole was not a sinkhole as suspected, but a catch basin with a missing cover. They found another coverless basin nearby as well.

“I mow the lawn there,” she said of the second hole. “I mean, it could have happened [again]. Wouldn’t that have been something?” Both holes have since been covered. [UPI, 4/28/26]

Shell Game

A 19-year-old Taiwanese woman attempted to board her plane in Bangkok with an unusual carry-on item: 30 Indian star tortoises, worth $9,000, strapped under her clothing. Yahoo News reported that Thai authorities grew suspicious of her movements, and a search uncovered the protected species.

“The suspect had used adhesive tape to immobilize the animals, packed them into cloth bags and attached them to her body to evade detection,” Thailand’s wildlife conservation department said.

The passenger was charged with illegally transporting animals and evading customs controls, and given the preponderance of wildlife smugglers who use Thailand as a transportation hub to sell endangered animals on the black market, authorities are investigating whether she could be linked to a larger smuggling ring.

The tortoises are under the care of wildlife conservation officials. [Yahoo!, 4/30/26]

Crying Wolf

A 40-year-old South Korean man could spend five years in prison and pay a fine of $6,700 for using AI to create an image of a wolf roaming the streets of Daejeon.

A wolf named Neukgu escaped from the Daejeon Zoo in South Korea, Oddity Central reported on April 30. A South Korean man heard the news and used a prompt to create an AI-generated image of Neukgu.

The fabricated image spread rapidly, and authorities closed schools and sent emergency teams to the area.

Neukgu was eventually found just outside of Daejeon, but authorities believe it could have been captured much earlier had it not been for the AI shenanigans.

“A single AI-manipulated image delayed the wolf’s capture by up to nine days,” they said. “The prolonged deployment of police and firefighters caused significant disruptions to their primary duty of protecting the public.” [Oddity Central, 4/30/26]

Artificial Intel

It started as an experiment. Almira Osmanovic Thunstrom, a medical researcher at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, wanted to see what language learning models would do with obvious medical misinformation, Oddity Central reported on April 29. So they made up an eye condition — bixonimania — and uploaded a couple of fake studies to a preprint server. The studies contained language that would make it obvious to human readers that the content wasn’t real. “I wanted to be really clear to any physician or any medical staff that this is a made-up condition, because no eye condition would be called mania — that’s a psychiatric term,” Osmanovic Thunstrom said.

One paper acknowledges “Professor Maria Bohm at The Starfleet Academy for her kindness and generosity in contributing with her knowledge and her lab onboard the USS Enterprise,” and both studies say they are funded by the “Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation” and a “larger funding initiative from the University of Fellowship of the Ring and the Galactic Triad.”

But within weeks, LLMs like Gemini and ChatGPT were referencing the imaginary ailment as if it were real.

“Bixonimania is indeed an intriguing and relatively rare condition,” Microsoft’s Copilot reported, and according to Google’s Gemini, “Bixonimania is a condition caused by excessive exposure to blue light.” The team’s experiment points to the risk of depending on LLMs. “It looks funny, but hold on, we have a problem here,” Alex Ruani, a doctoral researcher in health misinformation at University College London, said. “This is a masterclass on how mis- and disinformation operates.

If the scientific process itself and the systems that support that process are skilled, and they aren’t capturing and filtering out chunks like these, we’re doomed.” [Oddity Central, 4/29/26]

fiscated animals are in a crowded facility and in danger of being euthanized.

“They are no better off today than they were before the raid,” Redman said. “It’s a terrible situation and there has to be more scrutiny of the San Diego Humane Society.”

Redman’s comments were disputed by Nina Thompson, director of public relations for the SDHS.

“San Diego Humane Society’s Humane Law Enforcement team responded to this property after a thorough investigation and the execution of a search warrant. What our teams observed on-site does not align with the claim that these animals were well cared for,” Thompson said in a statement Sunday. “Our teams, alongside veterinary professionals and multiple partner organizations, have documented animals suffering from severe neglect. This includes widespread malnutrition, emaciation, untreated open wounds, and a lack of basic, standard husbandry. Because this is an active and open criminal investigation, our ability to share all the details is limited at this time.”

The statement said SDHS actions are guided by evidence, veterinary expertise and its legal responsibility to protect animals from suffering.

“We can also share that some animals were in such critical condition, the only humane option was to euthanize them on site to prevent further suffering,” she added. “For every such decision, we have established a strict protocol requiring multiple veterinarians to confer and agree that euthanasia is the only humane course of action. For large animals, a veterinarian from East County Large and Small Animal Practice is also involved in these evaluations.”

Thompson said the animals now in the care of the SDHS “are receiving thorough medical evalua tions, proper nutrition and safe housing. Our absolute goal is to provide care, stabilization, and live out comes for as many animals as possible through adop tion, foster or placement with trusted partners.

“The suggestion that these animals are on a ‘wait list for euthanasia’ is completely untrue.”

A spokesman for San Diego County said that investigators were gather ing evidence to determine whether a criminal case should be handed over to the District Attorney’s Of fice for prosecution.

Wiro Park

At the same meeting, the council sent proposed changes to Wiro Park in Olivenhain back to the Planning Commission to gather

more public feedback.

The plans call for replacing the existing sand play area with a rubberized surface and upgrading the climbing structure and swings, according to city documents.

said Wiro remains a “gathering spot and a celebration location and a place for my community, my children, and now my grandchildren to enjoy.”

Clark said few nearby residents were notified or aware of the proposed changes. She said the neighborhood, which frequently walks to and uses the park, would like a more active role in shaping its future.

“What we’ve had has been superb and we want to make sure that the next 30 years gets that same kind of treatment for the next group of families and stuff that are coming through,” Clark said.

Based on a recommendation from O’Hara, Mayor Bruce Ehlers moved to send the discussion to the city’s Parks and Recreation Commission.

San Antonio said that as a parent of young children, he has visited the park and wants to see more local input moving forward.

“I definitely think that we should bring this back just so the residents all around the park are able to at least put their two cents worth in,” San Antonio said. “I know we’re never going to agree on everything, but we can make sure that we find that nice, even compromise.”

brief as a blanket — and she threw it at him.

According to the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office, Patterson then beat Lanway and stabbed her multiple times in the head, leaving her with stab wounds to her ear and neck.

He later called 911 and said, “She threw something at me. I was scared.

I stabbed her in the side of the head,” prosecutors wrote in sentencing documents.

Lanway was taken to a hospital, where she died.

At trial, Patterson testified that he acted in self-defense, though prosecutors argued he had no injuries and that Lanway had medical issues that prevented her from walking easily or seeing out of one of her eyes.

“Too often, circumstances surrounding do-

mestic violence are made even more dangerous when people are living in vulnerable conditions like being homeless, but our prosecutor and law enforcement believed the victim’s life mattered and deserved justice,” San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan said in a statement.

“This was a devastating and senseless loss of life and Angela’s attacker is being held accountable for his actions.”

Little Foxes Summer Camp at Fox Point Farms — register now

This summer, kids ages 4-9 are invited to spend their days outdoors exploring, creating, and connecting with the land at Little Foxes Summer Camp in Encinitas.

Running June 8th through August 14th, the ten-week camp is rooted in real farm life at Fox Point Farms. Campers care for animals, ride horses, plant and harvest in the fields, learn about pollinators, and create hands-on projects inspired by nature.

It’s not a class-

room-style camp, it’s experiential, playful, and guided by the rhythms of the season. Each day blends structured farm learning with outdoor exploration and

plenty of room to move. With a maximum of 25 campers per week, Little Foxes offers a small, intentional environment where kids build confidence, curiosity, and responsibility, all while having fun in the fresh air.

Extended care from 1-4 p.m., day passes, and weekly lunch options are available. Families can learn more by scanning the QR code or visiting:

At Fusion Academy Solana Beach, students can catch up, get ahead, or explore something new through completely personalized 1 to 1 and small group options designed around their individual goals.

At Santa Fe Christian, a spokesperson said that legal counsel is reviewing the matter and that the school was advised not to comment further.

“At Francis Parker School, we believe our most important commitment is to the physical and emotion-

course credit, receive tutoring in any subject, focus on remediation or enrichment, or preview fall material in a way that works for them.

Summer at Fusion looks different by design. Each class or tutoring session pairs one student with one teacher, which means schedules are fully customizable.

Families can plan learning around vacations, camps, sports, and summer travel — without the stress of rigid calendars or missed opportunities.

through a hybrid format. Whether your student needs focused academic support or wants to build confidence and momentum heading into the fall, Fusion meets them exactly where they are.

Learning here feels supportive, encouraging, and personal — helping students stay engaged while still enjoying everything summer has to offer. At Fusion Academy Solana Beach, summer learning is flexible, intentional, and built entirely around your student — and your family.

“We are saddened to learn of the situation involving Santa Fe Christian Schools and extend utmost empathy to the students and families throughout San Diego who have been affected. Schools must provide environments where student privacy is protected — a responsibility we take seriously in this challenging digital age.” Kaufman declined to comment on possible disciplinary actions related to the choir room. Regarding other student-athletes potentially being videotaped while using the choir room as a makeshift locker room, Lee said San Marcos Unified School District is aware of the situation, but “at this time, we have no information to suggest that any of our students have been impacted.”
