City Hall

Council fires city attorney

By Cameron Adams

ENCINITAS — The Encinitas City Council is charting a new course for its city attorney position.

During its Oct. 15 meeting, the Encinitas City Council announced it would terminate its contract with Jones Mayer Law and City Attorney Tarquin Preziosi, a decision made earlier in closed session.

The city’s agreement with the firm was first approved in March 2022 and amended in July 2023, according to a city spokesperson. Preziosi, a partner at Jones Mayer and general counsel to the San Dieguito Water District, has served as city attorney since March 2022. Preziosi, who was admitted to the State Bar of California in 1998, could not be reached for comment via email.

The city has 45 days from the date of the decision to appoint an interim city attorney. After that, officials will pursue a long-term contract with another attorney or firm.

According to the Oct. 20 meeting agenda, the council will discuss filling the vacancy in a closed session.

Councilmember Jim O’Hara said the timing “worked out well for creating a good culture in City Hall,” given the relatively new council and staff hires.

“We all appreciate all the hard work that Mr. Preziosi put in, but we’re just going in a different direction,” O’Hara said. “We decided the goals of the city required a change of direction in that area.”

While it remains unclear what

Health

care groups form JPA to steady operations, finances

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO

— The Palomar Health Board of Directors has approved the creation of a joint powers authority between the healthcare district and UC San Diego Health, aiming to address financial struggles and improve healthcare access for district residents.

The final authorization of the Palomar/UCSD Health Au-

According to UCSD Health, the new joint powers authority, or JPA, is intended to “stabilize and expand healthcare services for the community” in the state’s largest public healthcare district by area.

Leaders from both UCSD Health and Palomar Health said the agreement will be mutually beneficial by enhancing management and operations and expanding services across all Palomar Health facilities.

The partnership also allows UCSD Health to extend its reach into North County.

Initial plans include creating a comprehensive cancer center at the Escondido campus, developing two unfinished floors for destination healthcare services and adding other medical subspecialties.

Palomar Health leaders emphasized that the JPA is not a merger or a takeover by UCSD Health.

Vista sees surge in short-term rentals, tax gains

By Leo Place

VISTA — A year after adopting a short-term rental ordinance, the city of Vista has seen a surge in registered properties and transient occupancy tax revenue, though some work remains to bring more rentals into compliance.

Under the ordinance that went into effect last June, all operators of shortterm rentals (also known as STRs or vacation rentals) are required to obtain a business license and short-term rental permit, and to register for and pay the transient occupancy tax (TOT).

Staff provided the Vista City Council with an update on the city’s progress with STRs over the past year.

Within the month after the ordinance passed, Vista saw the number of registered rentals increase from 36 to 49. As of Oct. 10, that number is up to 103.

Revenue from TOT also grew substantially, from an annual total of $139,729 at the end of the 2023-24 fiscal year to $368,566 in the most recent year, including late fees and interest.

“We have seen positive growth trends from our short-term rental registration, and it has more than doubled since June of 2024 and our tax collection has increased by more than 150% from the prior year,” said City Management Analyst Lisa Hand.

Restrictions in the ordinance include a two-night minimum stay for non-hosted rentals, quiet hours from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m., a limit of five local STRs per owner, a cap on the number of guests equal to double the number of rooms plus one, and a prohibition against events such as weddings.

These rules also make it easier for residents to find information about registered STRs and contact owners if needed. A public portal on the city’s website contains information about each registered STR, and owners must display a contact number at the front of the rental in case of any issues.

“The ordinance makes it harder for short-term rental operators to evade registering and paying transient occupancy tax. There’s more transparency and accountability since we know who is operating short-term rentals, where they are, and whether or not they’re paying their taxes,” Vista Budget and Policy Manager Sarah Taylor said. “This helps us and the public understand what’s happening in the community.”

Reducing unfair advantages for STR operators who aren’t paying TOT also levels the playing field for all operators, Taylor said.

Vista staff are aware of 13 operating STRs that remain noncompliant under

the ordinance. Code enforcement staff have issued administrative citations to these properties with $500 fines.

If the owner still does not comply, the second fine is set at $1,000, and the third fine and any subsequent citations within the same year are $1,500 each. The STR permit is also revoked after the third citation within a one-year period.

“TOT is the property of the city, and so the operator is collecting on behalf of the city. So, at no time does the operator own, you know, that money,” said City Attorney Walter Chung.

The city has contracted with Deckard Technologies to identify and monitor STRs, and to perform outreach to operators about the ordinance.

Deckard has set up online portals for streamlined STR registration and TOT payment, a public portal

with information about STRs in the city, and a 24/7 hotline and online portal for complaints.

Deckard CEO Nick Del Pego said Vista city staff have been great to work with and noted that identifying vacation rentals is a “never-ending game,” since new ones are always coming on the market.

Once new STRs are identified, Deckard will send letters to the owners to inform them of the registration and TOT requirements, as well as the other rules under the ordinance.

“It’s really about the education, you know, telling them how to do business properly in the city of Vista, and how to make sure that they’re doing the right things by your community,” Del Pego said.

Del Pego said they come across over 1,000 STR listings in Vista, but many are the same rental across various websites like Airbnb,

VRBO, Booking.com, and more.

Councilmember Corinna Contreras said she would like to see more data on how long it takes for STR-related complaints to be addressed in the city and wondered whether the city might need to hire another code enforcement officer.

However, she said she is pleased with how the program is going in its first year, especially the increased TOT.

“I’m really pleased to see how this program is working. It’s a huge amount of funding that we didn’t have before. I’m just think-

The Vista City Council unanimously adopted a resolution on Oct. 14 calling for increased local control over housing regulations, following the state’s recent passage of a transit-oriented development bill that could allow denser development near local transit.

Mayor John Franklin brought forward the resolution, titled “Supporting Actions to Further Strengthen Local Democracy, Authority and Control as Related to Local Zoning and Housing Issues,” on Oct. 14 in response to increasing state legislation overriding cities’ control of housing density and zoning.

Franklin said Senate

Bill 79, signed by the governor earlier this month, further diminishes this local control by allowing multi-family housing up to nine stories near designated transit hubs. Qualifying developments must be approved by cities regardless of local zoning laws.

State legislators say Vista is one of the San Diego County cities that could be impacted by SB 79, along with Oceanside and San Diego. “I don’t want to live in a high-rise, high-density place. If that’s the future of our city, I probably don’t want to retire in a place like that, and one of the strongest reasons I brought this forward and why I’m serving on this council is I want to be able to live out all of

Culture collision

By S.H. Chambers

When two cultures meet, a willingness to make accommodations can help prevent unintended harm. Take driving, for example.

Shortly after I arrived in New Delhi in 1978, I was led into a crowded office where I was asked two questions about road signs, one of which I got right. I was then presented with a license to drive in India. That afternoon, when the American Embassy School’s business manager handed me the keys to an old white Ford Bronco, he advised me to keep to the left hand side of the road.

That was it.

My first foray into Delhi’s swirl of pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, rickshaws, hand carts, bullock carts, cars, buses, dogs, and cows wouldn’t have been so daunting if it weren’t for the Tata trucks.

Overloaded and underpowered, they belched black diesel smoke as they careened up and down crowned and crowded roads that were often only a lane and a half wide. Many of these trucks were piloted by Sikhs, readily identified by their beards and distinctive turbans.

Community Op-Ed

Stand united with survivors

By John Van Cleef

October

is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to confront a reality that is too common yet too often hidden in silence. Domestic violence — when someone uses coercion or violence to control a partner — causes devastating harm, stripping survivors of safety, stability and sometimes, even their lives.

In California alone, domestic violence programs answer more than 400 hotline calls every day. Behind each of those calls is a person, a family and a community left to grapple with the trauma.

heartbreaking statistic illustrates how deeply connected domestic violence is to broader community challenges.

Ending domestic violence requires more than crisis intervention. It requires prevention.

Last year, CRC provided 3,987 individuals with prevention education and resources, helping to break the cycle of abuse and build safer communities.

To

It was clear to me that if I were to rely on my American driving habits things would not end well. I was used to trucks that: (1) obeyed the speed limit, (2) slowed down when being passed, (3) gave ample room to other drivers when passing, (4) avoided lengthy stays in the fast lane, and (5) used turn signals early and often, especially when changing lanes. The truckers of my youth acted as the stewards of the highway, striving to ensure the safety of all.

I had to make some accommodations.

I quickly figured out the rules in Delhi: (1) The bigger vehicle has the right of way. More precisely, (2) Wherever the bigger vehicle chooses to go, it has the right to go there. Therefore, (3) Get out of its way. Further, (4) Assume that it will exercise this right whenever it wish-

In practice, these rules worked surprisingly well. Unlike thick manuals filled with detailed explanations of various painted lines and colored lights, with intricate instructions telling who should yield to whom in various hypothetical situations, everyone intuitively grasped these simple rules, even villagers who couldn’t read or write. You just had to know your place in the pecking order and watch out for the kings of the traffic jungle.

Yes, there were collisions, but, for the most part, those who followed the rules got to where they were going in one piece.

I drove in India for two years. By making these accommodations, I never had an accident. I hit no one and no one hit me. Not even a bump.

India’s culture is incredibly rich, complex, and wonderful. Compared to it, others often seem crude, drab, or sterile. I have to say though, I didn’t care much for its traffic.

Forty years later, on the way home from Oregon, I took Highway 99 between Modesto and Bakersfield, a stretch of road I hadn’t been on since a family trip to Disneyland in 1958. To my surprise, in less than an hour, I was cut off three different times by three different semis.

The third time, a 40-ton semi I was passing swerved into my lane. As there was no shoulder in the median, I had to slam on the brakes to avoid being crushed against

To my surprise, all three semis were being driven by Sikhs. It belatedly dawned on me that they were probably fellow graduates of the unofficial Delhi Driving School, and were driving as they had been taught: The Delhi Way. In other words, it was not their job to look out for me in my car, it was my job to watch out for them in their trucks.

After the third encounter, I passed a billboard advertising trucking insurance. Although most of it was in Punjabi, I got the message. Here endeth the lesson. (“The Untouchables,” directed by Brian DePalma, 1987.)

This past August, Harjinder Singh was driving a semi on the Florida Turnpike and made an illegal u-turn. Tragically, the driver and two passengers in the minivan that broadsided the semi were killed. Mr. Singh, a Sikh, was residing in the country without proper legal documentation and failed an English proficiency exam.

The question of how he got a commercial driver’s license has been the cause of much finger pointing. The story went viral, resulting in a surge of pointless nativism.

Sorting all this out calls for two hands.

On the one hand, there are now about 750,000 Sikhs in the United States. Those I have known have all been honest, hard-working, and law-abiding. The few

Domestic violence is not a private matter. It is a public health and public safety issue that demands a united community response.

This year’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month theme, “With Survivors, Always,” reminds us that survivors deserve safety, support and solidarity. These are not optional ideals — they are basic human rights.

And they can only be realized when neighbors, leaders, schools, businesses and nonprofits work together to create a culture where survivors are supported and abuse is prevented.

At Community Resource Center (CRC), we see firsthand the courage it takes for someone to seek help. Last year, CRC answered more than 3,000 calls to its 24-hour domestic violence hotline.

Eighty-two individuals found refuge in our emergency shelter, with over 1,600 bed nights provided in our shelter and transitional housing, and our Therapeutic Children’s Center offered trauma-informed care to 52 children, helping them heal from the violence they had witnessed.

Each of these numbers tells a story of survival and resilience. But they also reveal the magnitude of the need.

For many survivors, escaping violence isn’t as simple as leaving. Lack of affordable housing, economic insecurity, immigration status and discrimination based on gender or sexual orientation can trap people in dangerous situations. Too often, survivors are forced to choose between homelessness and abuse.

As one of our survivors told us: “The abuse got really bad, and I had to leave everything to be free of him so that I could be safe. Homelessness was preferable to abuse.”

In fact, 22% of unhoused individuals in California report experiencing domestic violence. This

We must invest more in healthy relationship education for youth, community outreach that shifts cultural norms and policies that expand housing and economic security. Prevention lowers the risk of violence, strengthens the social safety net and creates pathways to healthier, safer lives. At CRC, we believe ev-

eryone has a role to play. Community members can volunteer their time, donate to organizations like ours or advocate for policies that prioritize survivor safety and economic stability.

Schools and parents can teach young people what respect, consent and healthy communication look like.

Businesses can support employees who may be experiencing abuse. And as a community, we can break the stigma by listening to survivors, believing them and ensuring they know they are not alone.

Domestic violence is preventable. But prevention requires a commitment from all of us — to see survivors, to support them and to build a future where abuse is not tolerated.

This October, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we invite our community to stand with survivors, always.

Together, we can break the silence, end the cycle and create a safer, more compassionate Encinitas and North County for generations to come.

City greenlights as asbestos pipe concerns linger

By Cameron Adams CARLSBAD

— The Carlsbad Planning Commission approved a 12-unit infill housing project on Jefferson Street despite plans to connect the new development to existing asbestos pipes in the city’s water system.

Dave Padilla, Carlsbad’s assistant utilities director, said the Jefferson Street system is among the oldest in the city and was likely built in the 1960s when asbestos piping was standard.

“We have quite a bit of asbestos in the pipe in the system,” Padilla said. “We will develop a program to phase it out from our system, but it's going to take time.”

that create lasting economic vitality. From neighborhood boutiques and family-owned restaurants to innovative startups and professional service firms, the Chamber celebrates the diverse range of businesses that give Solana Beach its distinctive character and welcoming spirit.

Beyond supporting business, the Chamber serves as a unifying force for the entire community. It hosts events that bring people together, encourages civic involvement, and acts as a bridge between local leaders, city officials, and residents. The Chamber’s ongoing efforts ensure that Solana Beach remains a place where people not only choose to live and work but also take pride in contributing to its growth and well-being.

The Chamber thrives because of the people behind it. Local business owners, volunteers, and students like Clare bring fresh ideas, commitment, and creativity that keep the organization strong and responsive to the needs of the community. Every person who participates helps build a more connected and resilient Solana Beach.

Businesses, organizations, and individuals are invited to become part of this community effort. Membership in the Chamber offers opportunities for visibility, collaboration, and shared success. To learn more about joining or to explore upcoming events, visit solanabeachchamber.com.

The inhalation of asbestos fibers has been linked to mesothelioma and lung cancer, according to the Mayo Clinic. However, asbestos pipes are not considered hazardous unless the material is released when a pipe is broken or crushed, according to the state Department of Toxic Substances Control.

Padilla said a water master plan update, expected in four to five months, will identify remaining asbestos pipes and projects to replace them. To avoid releasing fibers, old pipes would be uncoupled at connection points rather than cut.

The replacement sections would use polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, piping. Workers must wear protective clothing and masks and follow strict procedures to prevent exposure.

The Jefferson Street project will redevelop a 0.34-acre site that currently contains a single-family home slated for demolition into four three-story residential condominium buildings, according to city documents. The 12 units are the maximum allowed under the state density bonus law, which the developer met by designating one unit for very low-income households.

Each unit will be about 1,670 square feet with two

or three bedrooms, roof decks, and attached garages equipped with vehicle lifts. A new internal roadway between units will provide access to the garages.

Due to concessions allowed under the state's density bonus law, the developer must only replace water main sections where new connections are made — in this case, three seven-foot segments — rather than the full 100-foot frontage along the property.

Jonathan Frankel of Rincon Homes, based in Carlsbad, said the company’s fees will help fund the city’s broader pipe replacement effort.

“We are responsible for paying our fair share of this greater replacement project,” Frankel said.

The commission approved the project in a 6-1 vote. Commissioner Alicia Lafferty cast the lone dissenting vote, saying the developer should replace the

CITY ATTORNEY

CONTINUED FROM FRONT

prompted his dismissal, Preziosi recently faced criticism in a complaint letter alleging the council violated the Brown Act during its Aug. 20 meeting when members voted to address a series of recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests in the city.

The Aug. 27 complaint, submitted by Cardiff-bythe-Sea resident Garvin Walsh, alleged the council improperly discussed recent ICE activity without properly listing it on the 72-hour meeting agenda.

Walsh alleged that the council improperly attempted to invoke the Brown Act’s

entire frontage.

Lafferty said neighbors would not get a “continuous benefit” when components are replaced piecemeal and “don’t complete the whole process.” She added that taxpayers will ultimately cover the cost if Rincon does not.

Some residents voiced other concerns about the project. Carlsbad resident Tai Huoh, who lives on Jefferson Street near the project, criticized the project’s parking plan, saying it would worsen congestion along the corridor.

“All of these recently proposed condominium projects on Jefferson Street don’t provide enough onsite parking spaces,” Huoh wrote the council. “Each unit with only one parking space is unrealistic. The condominium residents will end up parking their second cars on the already parking-crowded Jefferson Street and side streets. We

“immediate need” exception, which requires a twothirds council vote finding that immediate action is required and proof that the need arose after the agenda was posted.

The emergency item was adopted during an Aug. 20 meeting after ICE agents arrested the parent of an Encinitas student near Park Dale Lane Elementary School earlier that day, sparking protests outside City Hall.

Although the item was not listed on the agenda, Preziosi advised that it qualified as an emergency since the triggering event occurred after the posting deadline.

Walsh’s complaint,

need street parking spaces for our guests, gardeners, and repairmen, not for the future condominium residents.”

Longtime Carlsbad Village resident Brad Ingino urged the commission to reject the project, saying new high-rise development is eroding the community’s small-town character.

“I have lived and rented in Carlsbad Village for 15-18 years now,” Ingino wrote. “The influx of fourand five-story buildings has destroyed our skyline and threatens the very ‘village’ aspect that makes this area so unique and special — and worth preserving. Please, please, please, for the love of God and our lovely Hamburg, deny this proposal and limit future ones. Garfield Street already looks like little Newport Beach. You can always build more, but you can never go back. If you lived here, you would understand.”

Commissioner Nicholas Foster noted the City Attorney’s Office has cautioned commissioners that denying a project requires “very strong, concrete, adverse findings against public health and safety.”

“This comes down to three words: density bonus law,” Foster said. “As much as people like it or hate it, it’s a pretty strong law.”

Commissioner Roy Meenes said he considered it an “excellent project” that meets state and local housing goals.

however, criticized Preziosi’s “27-second response” as “wholly inadequate,” arguing that he failed to cite a statute, explain the twothirds vote requirement to elected officials or warn that the exception should be narrowly applied.

“Mr. Preziosi’s failure to apply the brakes led to a rush to judgment that prevented the Council from obtaining the facts related to the incident, which turned out to be legitimate law enforcement activity,” the letter reads. Under threat of litigation, the council later rescinded its actions “out of an abundance of caution” to eliminate any potential legal risk, Mayor Bruce Ehlers said in September.

Neon sign gets LED lift

By Jordan P. Ingram ENCINITAS —

The Encinitas City Council is moving forward with plans to replace the historic downtown gateway sign’s neon lights with an energy-efficient LED system and perform long-overdue maintenance on a landmark that welcomes visitors and residents downtown.

On Oct. 15, the council awarded a four-year contract to YESCO LLC for the project, with a total agreement not to exceed $253,785.

The project, located at 485 S. Coast Highway 101, will replace the aging neon system with modern LED lighting and new aluminum letters spelling “ENCINITAS.” According to city staff, the existing letters are significantly corroded, and refurbishing them would cost more and last fewer years than replacement.

YESCO, the lone bidder meeting the city’s standards, estimated the letter replacement at $47,573 and the LED conversion at $123,431. City officials said the new lighting will reduce energy use, cut maintenance costs, and extend the sign’s lifespan by an estimated 14 years.

As part of the approval, the council also agreed to appropriate $205,205 from the city’s streets maintenance operating budget to fund the project. Annual maintenance costs of about $28,800 are projected for fiscal years 2026-27 through 2028-30.

The gateway sign, a replica of the original from the 1920s, has become a historical symbol of Encinitas. While it has received occasional cleanings and minor repairs, the structure, installed in 2001, has not undergone major maintenance in more than a decade, city staff said.

Public Works staff said the update aligns with the Climate Action Plan by improving energy efficiency and reducing the city’s carbon footprint.

At least one resident opposed the upgrade.

“Leave the Encinitas Gateway Sign alone. It is fine just the way it is,” resident Marie Dardarian wrote in a letter to the council.

The new agreement with YESCO begins this month.

O’side adds another high-rise downtown

By Samantha Nelson OCEANSIDE —

The City Council has approved another high-rise, high-density mixed-use apartment complex in downtown — this time directly across the street from Oceanside High School.

The 901 Mission Avenue project will replace a 1.51-acre vacant lot bordered by Mission Avenue, Horne Street, Seagaze Drive and Clementine Street with an eight-story building featuring 273 apartments, including 28 units reserved for low-income households.

The development will join several other high-density projects nearby, including a proposed 230-unit project at 801 Mission, a delayed 206-unit project at 810 Mission, and the recently approved 401 Mission Avenue project, which will replace the Regal Theater with 332 units.

Another nearby project, 712 Seagaze Drive, will feature 179 all-affordable studio apartments in an eight-story building. The city has also delayed its final decision on the Oceanside Transit Center redevelopment, which, if approved, would add another 547 residential units.

At 901 Mission Avenue, 54 housing units will be 479-square-foot studios, with six reserved as affordable and 48 at market rate; 142 one-bedroom units ranging from 609 to 863 square feet, with 14 affordable and 128 market rate; and 77 two-bedroom units ranging from 1,052 to 1,186 square feet, with eight affordable and 69 market rate.

The ground floor will include a leasing office, lobby and 4,006 square feet of space for future commercial

use.

Four stories will be devoted to a parking garage with 322 off-street spaces — 294 reserved for residents, providing at least one per unit, and 28 for commercial or other uses.

Although not required to include that much parking because the site is within a half-mile of the Oceanside Transit Center, the developer opted to do so to ease concerns about parking constraints and offer an added amenity for residents. Street parking will still be allowed and is not included in the parking count.

Although the city enacted a downtown density cap in December 2023, the project is exempt because developer JPI Companies submitted its application a month earlier.

The project also invokes the state’s density bonus law, which allows additional units, waivers and concessions for developments that reserve at least 10% of their units as affordable.

In early 2024, the City Council increased the local affordable housing requirement to 15%, but, like the density cap, that change does not apply (and reverts to the 10% standard) because the application was submitted before the change took effect.

JPI is also behind the Jefferson Ocean Creek project, which is building 295 units near the Crouch Street Sprinter Station, including 30 low-income homes, with completion expected by the

end of 2026.

During an Oct. 15 public hearing, Colin Hofmann, JPI’s director of development, said the company aims to “foster communities, not break them down,” while building housing and retaining residents.

“We’re very proud to boast across our portfolio nationwide an over 83% retention rate for residents due to our communities and what we bring to the residents,” Hofmann said.

Hofmann said the company has been working with Oceanside Unified School District to ensure future commercial tenants will not distract or pose a nuisance for students. The project site sits directly across Horne Street from the high school.

He said the new development would improve the area by replacing a vacant lot he described as “a prime spot for afterschool fights” that has also seen growing homeless activity.

“This site is an awesome opportunity to connect the Eastside to the downtown district,” Hofmann said. “We’re looking at this as a gateway — especially in the city’s cultural corridor.”

Hofmann added that rental rates are being set with consideration for Marines who rely on housing vouchers while stationed locally, noting that more than 80% live off base.

No bail for man in mother’s death

By Leo Place VISTA —

A man accused of beating and killing his 80-year-old mother at his family’s Vista home will remain in custody without the option of bail, a Vista Superior Court judge ruled on Tuesday.

Tad Johnson, 55, was arrested and charged with the suspected first-degree murder of his mother, Linda Johnson, on Oct. 14. He pleaded not guilty to the charge at his arraignment on Friday.

On the day of the alleged attack, police arrived at the residence along Riviera Drive after receiving a report of a battery. They discovered Linda Johnson with traumatic injuries, and she died the next day at the hospital.

At a bail hearing on Tuesday at the Vista Courthouse, Deputy District Attorney Ted Minahan said the evidence indicated that Johnson had used his hands to strike his mother in the face and head repeatedly.

Minahan described Johnson’s swollen right hand, extensive injuries to Linda Johnson’s face, and the presence of blood a few feet from where she lay when police arrived.

“This wasn’t some bar fight,” Minahan said. “The victim is an 80-year-old woman who was repeatedly struck and died due to those blows.”

Criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos, who represents Johnson, urged the court to set bail at $100,000 and said his sister and brother-in-law were prepared to take him in if he were to be released on bail.

Geragos claimed there

is not enough evidence at this time of either murder or malice by Johnson, and that the only thing possessed by the District Attorney’s Office was an outof-court statement made by Johnson to officers that “he was struck first and he struck back.”

Judge Valerie Summers declined the request for bail, stating that photos of the victim showed extensive injuries. While Johnson has no criminal record, she said he could still pose a danger to the community, considering the vulnerability of the victim.

“The level of violence against a vulnerable victim is something I consider,” Summers said.

Lt. Juan Marquez said last week that they were still investigating who owns the home where the attack took place, but said it is believed to be a family member’s. The Medical Examiner’s Office will announce the cause and manner of death.

Johnson will be back in court on Oct. 27.

Shooting unsolved

A late-night shooting left one person injured in Escondido last week.

Officers responded around 10:45 p.m. Oct. 16 to reports of a shooting at 475 North Midway Drive, where they discovered a person suffering from at least one gunshot wound, according to the Escondido police.

Police said there was no suspect description. Authorities urged anyone with information to call EPD or Crime Stoppers at 619235-8477.

JACKSON is the Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s pet of the week. He is a 15-year-old, 10-pound, male, domestic short hair cat with a blue and white coat.

Jackson was transferred to RCHS from a crowded shelter partner through Friends of County Animal Shelters. He was previously adopted and spent three years in his home. When his owner died, Jackson was returned.

He likes to play with fake mice, feather toys and toys with cat nip. His previous care provider says Jackson is “gentle as a lamb.” He will “talk” to let you know when he wants attention. He loves having his belly rubbed and he loves to be brushed.

The $75 adoption fee includes a medical exam, neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, registered microchip and a one-year license if the new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services.

Seahorse’s adoption fee is $399 plus a $36 microchipping fee. All pets adopted from HWAC are altered and up-to-date on vaccinations and micro-chipped for identification.

San Diegans participate in ShakeOut event

By City News Service REGION

a million San Diego County residents participated last week in the Great California ShakeOut, the statewide earthquake preparedness drill, now in its 17th year.

A total of 980,458 participants were registered in San Diego to stop everything on Oct. 16 for a minute to

“drop, cover and hold on’” at 10:16 a.m. Statewide, more than 10.3 million Californians registered.

During last year’s event, about 10.6 million statewide registered to take part. The exercises began in 2008.

“What we do to prepare now, before the next big earthquake, will determine how well we can survive

and recover,” according to a statement posted to ShakeOut.org. “Great ShakeOut earthquake drills are a oncea-year chance for everyone to practice ‘drop, cover and hold on’ and learn other earthquake safety tips.’’

According to ShakeOut. org, the objective is to emphasize precautions during a 7.8-magnitude or larger quake along the southernmost portion of the San Andreas fault. Officials believe such a tectonic shift could produce waves of movement for hundreds of miles, over four minutes. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, some 2,000 people would die, tens of thousands would be injured and more than $200 billion in damage would result. The cataclysm would have 50 times the intensity of the Jan. 17, 1994, Northridge earthquake.

San Diego County has a 93% chance of a major earthquake within 50 kilometers of the region within the next 50 years.

Mission Hills coach resigns amid probe

SMUSD hasn’t confirmed basis of investigation

By Noah Perkins

SAN MARCOS — Mission Hills High School head football coach Chris Hauser, who was placed on paid administrative leave for the past month amid a district investigation, announced Monday he will step down from his positions as coach and teacher.

Hauser cited family and health priorities for his decision, which comes ahead of his planned retirement from the San Marcos Unified School District at the end of the school year.

In an email to players and families obtained by The Coast News, Hauser wrote:

“Dear Grizzly Players and Families: It’s been a good run. I’m proud of our program and players’ achievements through 20+ years leading it, but family and health circumstances signal that it’s time for me to step down from my head coach and teaching responsibilities to attend to those priorities preceding my retirement from the district at the end of this school year. My family and I appreciate all of your support, encouragement and respect for our privacy. We wish all MHHS Grizzlies and the program continuing success.”

Hauser, along with as-

sistant coaches Thomas Altieri and Edward Nuckols, was placed on paid administrative leave in September after the district opened an investigation into an ongoing yet unspecified matter.

According to multiple sources close to the program who spoke to The Coast News, the incident involved alleged physical hazing in the team’s locker room. In September, the San Marcos Sheriff’s Station confirmed an investigation at Mission Hills High School but de-

clined to provide additional details, citing the involvement of minors.

“The district is subject to staff and student privacy laws that prohibit sharing specific information and is therefore unable to provide additional comment at this time. We are actively working toward a conclusion of the investigation and will provide an update directly to Mission Hills High School football families once additional information is available,” said Christine M.

Lee, public information officer for San Marcos Unified. Hauser was hired in 2004 as the school’s first head football coach. Over more than two decades, he led the Grizzlies to an Open Division Championship in 2013, several Avocado League titles, and coached future NFL players Chris Olave and Fred Warner.

A starting senior football player, who transferred to Mission Hills for the 2025-26 season and requested to remain anony-

mous, told The Coast News his move was motivated by the program’s strong college connections and practice environment.

“It was about getting better opportunities to go places. The coaches here have more connections with college coaches. The way (Hauser) runs practices — the environment is like a college-style setup, preparing you for the next level,” the player said.

While Hauser achieved significant success on

the field, the incident last month bookends another controversy from 2007. Then, during a game, Scott Eveland, a 17-year-old linebacker, told the team trainer that a severe headache made it difficult to see clearly and asked to remain on the bench, according to his mother, Diane Luth. Hauser reportedly overruled the trainer and put Eveland back into the game. Eveland collapsed from bleeding in the brain and suffered injuries that left him severely disabled.

“The trainer said, ‘You don’t have to play,’ but the coach overruled him and put him in,” Luth told KPBS in 2024. “And that was the last of the Scott that we knew.”

“Who’s watching your children? That’s really it,” Luth continued. “The crux of it is who — because there’s great coaches out there. I wish Scott had had that coach.”

In 2016, the family of Eveland reached a nearly $4.9 million settlement related to his injuries. The San Marcos Unified School District agreed to pay $4.375 million, and sports equipment manufacturer Riddell contributed $500,000.

Under Hauser this season, Mission Hills opened the season 4-0. Now with interim head coach DJ Zapata leading the team, the Grizzlies have gone 3-1 and sit third in the Avocado League, with two regular-season games remaining.

Buzz mostly good for CSUSM women’s golf team

By Noah Perkins

SAN MARCOS — With tight fairways, thin air and fast greens at nearly 5,000 feet of elevation, CSUSM women’s golf expected Pueblo Country Club to be a challenge.

The yardage book, however, didn’t mention bees.

CSUSM junior Kiara Hernandez was cruising with three birdies and a 4-over 75 at the NCAA DII Regional Preview Invite on Oct. 13, when a bee sting to her palm caused her hand to swell dramatically, cutting her opening round short and forcing her to withdraw on the final hole.

“I couldn’t really grip the club,” Hernandez said. “A bee landed on my golf ball earlier in the round. I should have taken that as a sign. I felt like I was playing fairly well. My putting has been a little on and off, but I was hitting good shots. The course itself is tough, and those greens can get tricky with all the slopes.”

Despite losing Hernandez, the Cougars rallied through two rounds to finish fourth out of 21 teams with a 615 (+47), led by redshirt senior Avery Foster, who posted a 2-over 144 (71-73) with six birdies to secure a run-

ner-up finish individually.

Chloe Rahn contributed CSUSM’s only eagle of the tournament on the par5 16th hole in Round 2 and finished tied for 54th at 158 (79-79) with two birdies.

Abby Sickles matched that total, carding a 16-over 158 (82-76) with three birdies in her second round, while Carmella Carlisi wrapped up her tournament tied for 70th at 162 (+20) with one birdie.

“Avery had a great round,” Hernandez said. “I saw her on the second day hitting really impressive shots. She understood how to adjust and adapt, which

is what it came down to. The elevation played a huge part—our balls were flying much farther than usual. On some holes during the practice round, I was taking almost 30 yards off my normal yardage just to adjust.”

Currently ranked sixth in the nation in Division II women’s golf, CSUSM opened the fall season strong, capturing back-toback team victories. The Cougars won the RJGA Shootout at Estrella in Goodyear, Arizona, with a two-round total of 579 (+3), and followed it up with another win at the Lady Bull-

dog Desert Classic in Palm Desert, California.

“The team’s in a really good spot,” head coach Greg Hutton said. “We’ve got a young team this year, so the biggest thing in the fall has been getting the freshmen into the lineup and giving them experience at the college level, which is just so much different than high school. The internal competition and the history of this program motivate everyone to perform at a high level, and I think the experience they’re gaining now will make them even stronger heading into the spring sea-

son.”

Last year, graduating senior Madison Murr became CSUSM women’s golf’s second national champion, winning the individual NCAA Division II national championship in Boulder City, Nevada, with a threeround total of 14-under 202.

The Cougars finished the national tournament as the No. 2 seed in the eightteam match play bracket but were eliminated in the quarterfinals by Central Missouri, marking the team’s third consecutive NCAA national tournament appearance.

“Our team right now is strong — everyone is capable of playing good golf,” Hernandez said. “It’s fun, but it can also be competitive, and we’ve made it a supportive environment where if somebody plays a good round, everyone’s happy for them. Golf is an individual sport, but you have to play it as a team. It’s important for seniors like Avery [Foster], Hannah [Anderson], and me to show the freshmen that it’s okay if you don’t play your best, because you still have your team to rely on. That trust off the course creates a better culture on the course, and this year, it’s good.”

The Cougars travel to Hayward for the East Bay Fall Tournament at Stonebrae Country Club on Oct. 27-28 before the season break, and will resume competition Feb. 9-10 at the San Diego State Classic at The Heights Golf Club.

“If you were a mediocre program, the kids might see the break as just a time to check out for a while. But with this group, they’re self-motivated—if you’re not out there putting in work, somebody else is,” Hutton said. “During the winter break, many will compete in amateur events or practice internally to keep that competitive fire going, because they want to win and push themselves even when not officially competing.”

Foster was named CCAA Women’s Golfer of the Week on Oct. 15, becoming the third Cougar this fall to earn the honor after Hernandez (Sept. 17) and Rahn (Sept. 30).

“[As transfers, Avery and Kiara] have really added leadership as upperclassmen, guiding the younger players, setting the tone, and showing the way on and off the course,” Hutton said. “They are both great players.”

Several weeks ago, I noticed an obituary in The Coast News for a dog named Tasha. Tasha had spent her life being a faithful companion, bringing love and loyalty to her family and friends alike. Still, an obituary seemed a bit over the top… until I started noticing them in other community newspapers, and I recognized my error.

Market visiting masses ask mr. marketing rob weinberg

By Phil Hudson

San Diego isn’t a small market — it’s a visitor engine.

In the last cycle, the region welcomed approximately 32.5 million visitors and set a record $14.6B in direct visitor spending.

That demand centers on tent-pole events like Comic-Con (135,000+ attendees; ~$160M regional impact) and the San Diego County Fair (877,452 in 2024). If you run hospitality, attractions, retail, or restaurants, your playbook should match that scale.

Win the search map before people land. Treat Google Business Profile as your second homepage. Add event posts tied to real dates (menus, shows, tours), keep hours and inventory current, and answer common questions in the Q&A. Travelers plan on mobile and pick the business that looks ready right now.

Publish for discovery, not just followers. On Instagram and TikTok, caption with neighborhood + experience (“Little Italy happy hour,” “La Jolla tide pools at sunset”). Post short demos and behindthe-scenes from places visitors actually search. Pin evergreen posts (reservations, parking, kids-menu, accessibility) and keep the link-in-bio updated.

Merchandise the calendar. Build micro-offers around high-traffic windows — Comic-Con, Del Mar racing, fair season, and the Holiday Bowl — and create shoulder-day incentives (Sun–Wed perks, early seatings, late check-outs). Package with nearby partners: one price, clear inclusions, bookable in two taps.

Reduce friction from click to cash. Make “book/ buy now” obvious on every page and profile. Use tapto-call, reserve, and order online actions. Track with clean UTMs, and fix email deliverability (SPF/DKIM/ DMARC) so confirmations don’t land in spam. Then re-market to visitors who opted in—turn a weekend trip into a repeat.

Bottom line: San Diego already brings the audience. Brands that show up where visitors decide, speak in local specifics, and remove booking friction will capture more of a very large pie. The opportunity isn’t reach; it’s readiness.

Losing a pet isn’t just losing a dog, cat, gecko, bird, etc.— it’s losing a constant companion, a furry therapist, and, let’s be honest, the only one in the house who doesn’t judge you for eating peanut butter straight from the jar.

All of which suggests that creating an obituary for your pet is cathartic, both for you and for those who knew your family member for so many years. After all, they might also be hurting because of your pet’s death.

Buying an obituary for your beloved pet instability

As a kid, my sisters and I were always witches, and we weren’t even in costumes.

On Halloween night, I like to jump out of bushes and scare people. Last year, I jumped out, and the lady yelled, “You almost made me pee my pants!” I answered, “You almost made me pee my pants from laughing.”

Everyone makes fun of their parents. My girls are no exception. If they think I’m being off-the-wall, they pick up an old true crime book I have with Jeffrey Dahmer’s picture on the cover that says, “He was a quiet man who worked in a chocolate factory.” They hold the book up, and one of them acts like a news reporter and says, “She was a quiet woman who did stand-up comedy.”

I could never be a Mormon. I’m selfish — I want my man all to myself or not at all. Can Mormon women have more than one husband? If they could, none of them would like to, because then they wouldn’t be a Mormon — they’d be a moron.

I’m a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. While doing my family history, I found out I’m related to Annie Oakley. I called my ex-husband to tell him.

“I think I’m a lot like Annie,” I said.

“No, you’re not — Annie rode horses,” he said.

“I can ride a horse,” I said.

“Annie stood up in the stirrups,” he said.

“So did I — in the gynecology office,” I said. “The doctor was yelling, ‘Get down from there! What’s the matter with you?’”

Now that my divorce is final, I realize I love my cat more than I loved that man. I love that cat more because it buries crap and never brings it up again!

France’s national postal service, aptly named La Poste, released a croissant-scented stamp on Oct. 8, France24 reported. Nearly 600,000 of the fragrant marks are intended to honor the “emblem of French gastronomy,” the postal service gushed.

“I had a stock of 1,000 stamps available,” said Valence post office director Anthony Richet. “And on the first day, more than 400 stamps were already gone.”

The stickers can also be used for international mail. [France24, 10/8/2025]

Didn’t See That Coming

Zimbabwean opposition lawmaker and poet Desire Moyo, 45, lost his life in a bizarre accident in the early morning hours of Oct. 10, the BBC reported.

As Moyo and four others drove along the Bulawayo-Gweru highway, they crashed into an elephant.

The other occupants of the car were injured; one of them said the elephant was struck on its backside, after which it turned around and started fighting the car.

It is believed the elephant’s reaction did the most damage and led to Moyo’s demise. [BBC, 10/10/2025]

Congregants at Legacy Faith Church in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, on Sept. 28 were confronted by their pastor, Phillip Thornton, wearing and wielding an assault-style rifle to illustrate his points during his sermon.

WHP-TV reported that

Thornton used the firearm to symbolize “clearing the room,” or using spiritual violence against unbelief. At times, Thornton pointed the gun at the congregation, with a laser bouncing off church members.

The church released a statement after concerns were brought to light, saying the gun was “disabled (firing pin removed), cleared and publicly shown to be ammo free.” But Thornton also said, “I could get you, any one of you.”

The statement closed with gratitude for bringing “great attention” to the church. After all, there’s no such thing as bad publicity. [WHP, 10/10/2025]

First of all, apparently in the United Kingdom, ladybugs are called ladybirds. Regardless, one woman is fighting an epic battle against the cute spotted beetles in Hertfordshire, the Daily Star reported on Oct. 10.

Lois Mallett-Walker’s home has been invaded by “around 300” ladybugs, where they’re covering her curtains, windows and walls.

And, she said, “One peed on me and it stank.”

The 35-year-old tried to shoo the bugs outdoors but ended up vacuuming up some of them. “I love ladybugs, but it was far too

Megan Ashlee Davis is a college student in Texas, Chron.com reported on Oct. 10. She is not a server at an Olive Garden in St. Louis, and she didn’t get arrested for assault after throwing a basket of breadsticks at a customer.

But Davis’ life has been turned upside down since a Facebook account called Pure videos posted a (real) mug shot of Davis and claimed she had retaliated for a bad tip by tossing the treats at a diner. “It’s probably like my worst nightmare coming to reality,” Davis said.

She admitted that the mug shot came from a night in August, soon after her mother died, when she was arrested for public intoxication. But this recent post has garnered harassing and creepy comments. “People are disgusting out there -- and scary,” she said. “I feel small. Like, how do I even fix this?” [Chron.com, 10/10/2025]

Surveillance cameras spotted Mateo inside the courthouse in Independence on Oct. 2 around 3:30 p.m. After speaking with workers there, he slipped into parts of the courthouse that are not covered by the cameras. Around 7:30 p.m., he was recorded entering a courtroom, where he apparently spent the night. The next morning, a witness saw Mateo and alerted officers; they found him wearing a judge’s robes and carrying three bags. Inside the bags were a small brass dog statue, pens and a sticky note with login credentials on it -along with three laptops, data storage, electronic devices and other office supplies. Mateo said he planned to sell the items to the highest bidder. [KSHB, 10/6/2025]

Small-town charm on display at Harvest Faire

By Samantha Nelson FALLBROOK

— Hundreds of people — and scarecrows — gathered downtown over the weekend for Fallbrook’s annual Harvest Faire.

The chamber took over the event in 2013 from the

For the past 12 years, the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce has hosted the fall celebration, featuring local artisans, food vendors, pony rides, tractors, a beer and wine garden, art competitions, pie and costume contests, and other seasonal activities for families to enjoy.

“Scare Crew,” a local group behind “October Scarecrow Days,” which invites businesses and shops to display unique scarecrows throughout the month.

The group previously held a smaller version of the Harvest Faire in the parking lot next to the Fallbrook

Library before the chamber expanded and moved it to Main Avenue.

According to the chamber, the Harvest Faire captures the charm of smalltown America during the autumn season.

“It's got a very local feel,” said Lila Hargrove,

chief executive officer of the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce. The Harvest Faire offers a smaller, family-friendly setting compared to the larger Avocado Festival, which spans several blocks of Main Avenue and draws thousands each April.

This year’s event featured 114 booths, many hosted by locals eager to share their handmade crafts with the community. Hargrove, who grew up in Fallbrook, said she enjoys seeing familiar faces and families come together to celebrate the season.

Finding authentic Filipino food in San Marcos

Given the plethora of culinary options in coastal North County, with more restaurants opening weekly it seems, I do get caught up in “the bubble,” as we call it, when there are worthy eateries throughout the area to explore.

Lutchi and Mary Authentic Filipino Food is in San Marcos off the 78 in a nondescript strip mall, as many solid restaurants tend

ingredients, form the base of Filipino cuisine, known for bold flavors, a result of blending sweet, sour, and salty tastes, and dishes I can’t get enough of.

When the Spaniards arrived in the 16th century, they had a significant impact on Filipino cuisine. Dishes like lechon (roasted pig), adobo (a vinegar-andsoy-sauce-based stew), and torta have Spanish roots. The Spanish word “adobo” means “marinade,” a technique introduced to preserve meat and a typical Filipino dish.

Lutchi and Mary’s chef, Ed Batuigas, began his culinary journey with his family. His grandmother had a Carinderia — a common type of eatery in the Philip-

and Pampanga home cooking.

When I walked into Lutchi and Mary, it felt like going into a Filipino family kitchen rather than a formal restaurant.

The casual dining room, with personal touches and aromatic scents… along with the Filipino patrons, made me feel as though I was not in San Marcos but had been transported to somewhere much more exotic.

The menu at Lutchi and Mary offers a variety of Filipino classics. I always start with at least two or three orders of Pork Lumpia as I love to snack on it over a couple of days. Sizable portions are a bonus of Filipino food, as there’s

(tapsilog), sausage (longsilog) or fish (bangsilog).

Where Flavor, Wellness & Creativity Meet

Pansit is popular as well, consisting of thin or thick noodles with combinations like bihon-canton or palabok. Hearty stews include Oxtail Kare-Kare or Beef Caldereta —slowcooked, comforting, and perfect for cooler weather.

And there is the old

to be. I was turned on to this joint from a friend who lives nearby in San Marcos and was adamant that it would be worth the drive to check it out.

The first thing I noticed upon entering Lutchi and Mary was that it was packed with what appeared to be all Filipino folks, and that’s always a good sign. But before I get into their back story and the menu, I thought a brief overview of this fascinating and delicious cuisine would be in order.

Filipino food is what I would describe as the original “fusion,” and I mean that in the best possible way. Indigenous ingredients such as rice, coconut, and various seafood, fruits, and vegetables like ginger and mango were later fused with influences from Chinese, Malay, Spanish and American traders and colonizers.

These new ingredients and techniques, like stir-frying from China and stewing fused with local

pines that serves affordable and locally inspired dishes. Chef Ed’s mom had a catering business when he was young, and he learned by watching and absorbing — kitchen-trained, you might say.

I was persuaded to try one of their standout offerings, Pork Sisig, a signature dish. It’s crunchy pork belly sautéed with garlic, onions, scallions, and chili, served with rice.

my days here in Vista, because I love this place,” said Franklin.

Vista city staff will provide more information about the local impacts of SB 79 at a future meeting, Franklin said.

Other council members agreed, saying that while they support increased housing, the state is overreaching with one-size-fitsall solutions.

future projects,” said NCTD Chief of Staff Mary Dover.

At the same meeting, the City Council also voted to support proposed legislation known as the Make Polluters Pay Superfund Act, at the urging of local youth activists.

The council heard about the legislation from high school students involved in Youth v. Oil, a California youth initiative fighting to end reliance on fossil fuels.

“SB 79 needs to have some function within cities. I just feel like it’s too broad and paints too broad of a brush, and takes away too much control from local municipalities in trying to design effective building near transit corridors,” Councilmember Dan O’Donnell said.

O’Donnell also noted that unlike some cities, Vista’s government has been supportive of housing development and is considering projects in good faith.

Councilmember Contreras said while she would vote in favor of the resolution, she believed it was too broad and likely would not accomplish anything.

She suggested advocating for specific changes, like banning density bonus projects within a quarter mile of high fire hazard zones, echoing concerns shared about the Monte Vista residential project last month.

“If we want the state to listen, we have to be strategic and more specific,” Contreras said.

North County Transit District, which owns the rail tracks running through Vista and larger North County, said they believe SB 79 will apply to their stations for the Sprinter, connecting Vista, San Marcos, Oceanside, and Escondido.

There are three Sprinter stations in Vista at Buena Creek, Civic Center Drive, and the Vista Transit Center. SB 79 also allows projects on land owned by transit agencies if it is located within a half-mile of a qualifying stop.

At least 50% of the total square footage for these projects must be residential, and at least 20% of the total units must be deed-restricted for lower-income households.

“NCTD’s SPRINTER stations are expected to be covered under the law as signed by Governor Newsom. NCTD coordinates with local jurisdictions on redevelopment plans at all stations to gather community input and will continue to engage stakeholders on any

troduce the bill again at the start of California’s 2026 legislative session in January.

Students noted that North County has had its own close calls with fires, and said the area could face a disaster like what happened in the Palisades someday.

“Every year, North County San Diego is hit by wildfires, and every year, it gets worse, which is directly attributable to climate change. By holding the oil companies accountable for their actions, we are actively taking steps to ensure our future,” said Aaron Arellano, a junior at Bonsall High School.

I don’t want to live in a high-rise, high-density place. If that’s the future of our city, I probably don’t want to retire in a place like that.”

The act seeks to make these oil and gas companies cover the costs of impacts costs shouldered by the state from natural disasters driven by the warming climate, such as fires and floods, to offset the burden on taxpayers who suffer from the impacts of climate change.

If passed, the California Environmental Protection Agency would charge fossil fuel companies by assessing their greenhouse gas emissions from the past three decades. The money would be placed into a “superfund” and earmarked for disaster preparedness, natural resource protection, zero-emission fleets, and other climate initiatives.

Sofia Carrasco of Youth v. Oil cited research indicating that just 90 companies are responsible for around two-thirds of historic greenhouse gas emissions.

“If they’re the ones responsible for climate change, why are we the ones suffering the consequences?” asked Carrasco, a student at Canyon Crest Academy.

Make Polluters Pay galvanized support in the wake of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, which have caused an estimated $25o billion in damages. However, it stalled in the legislature by the summer, facing major opposition from the oil and gas industry.

Sponsors plan to rein-

Franklin opposed, the council approved a resolution stating the city’s support for the act. Councilmembers commended the students for speaking up.

“Thank you for showing up strong and taking this seriously, because a lot of adults do not take this seriously, but you understand that it’s your future and your livelihood,” said Councilmember Katie Melendez. “We want to make sure that you have a planet to grow into.”

O’Donnell also supported the resolution, and Jeff Fox said while he would vote in favor to show solidarity with the council, he had concerns about the council’s ability to influence state and federal issues.

Franklin opposed the resolution, echoing arguments from opponents to the act about it ultimately passing on increased energy costs to residents.

“When we lash out like this with a tax that will hurt working families, we have to think about the real world impact on the people that we represent here in Vista,” Franklin said.

In response to these concerns, students said the bills would focus just on the largest polluters — companies whose oil and gas products have resulted in over one billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions between 1990 and 2024.

Escondido schools invest $1.2M in YMCA pool

Swim lessons free for EUSD students starting in

Grade 3

By Samantha Nelson ESCONDIDO

— By the end of the school year, thousands of elementary students will have benefited from free swimming and water safety instruction at the renovated YMCA pool through the Escondido Union School District’s after-school program.

For years, the school district has partnered with the Escondido YMCA to provide afters-chool activities and summer programs to students while parents are still at work.

Now, under the partnership, students starting in third grade at all 18 of the district’s elementary schools who take part in the YMCA after-school program will learn essential water safety practices and either how to swim or improve their swimming skills.

The district will provide transportation to the YMCA pool from each of the campuses, which will rotate weekly to ensure everyone gets a chance to swim. The plan is to provide a full-day enrichment program during the summer as well.

The program marks one of the largest school district-led swim safety efforts in the region, according to the school district.

For several years, the

YMCA remained closed to the public after the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020. During its closure, the pool fell into disrepair until the district stepped in with funds to complete a massive renovation, including adding new concrete around the pool, resurfacing the pool, and new changing stalls.

Using after-school state funding, the district decided to invest $1.2 million into renovating the YMCA’s pool as a means to provide swimming lessons for students in the program.

Since the pool is outdoors, and swimming les-

sons held throughout the full school year, incoming Superintendent Andy McGuire said part of the renovations included heating the pool for students to enjoy during the colder months.

“We thought it was a worthy investment to get this pool back up to speed,” McGuire said.

The state funds the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program, also known as ELO-P, which is considered to be California’s largest investment in after-school programs for districts statewide. The funding allows students to participate in after-school and summer pro-

grams for free, prioritizing students from low-income families, foster youth and English-language learners.

The district partners with the YMCA and other organizations to provide enriching after-school programs, like intramural rugby, soccer and dance, and also works with teachers to provide academic intervention opportunities after school as well.

According to McGuire, the district is rebranding its initiative as the “Explorers” program, reflecting a theme of offering diverse opportunities — like swimming — for students to discover their

own interests. McGuire said a few thousand of the district’s 12,000 enrolled students participate in after-school programs across its campuses.

Future phases of the district’s YMCA partnership will include access to nearby outdoor soccer fields, a farm-to-table instructional garden, a teaching kitchen, and outdoor activity zones on the green space between the YMCA’s two main buildings on North Broadway.

Students in the YMCA after-school program at Conway Elementary — also known as Conway Academy

of Expeditionary Learning — were among the first to kick off the swimming program.

Before lessons begin, students learn basic water safety. Some students already know how to swim when they start, but others do not.

Although it wasn’t fifth grader Roxy De La Cruz’s first time in a pool, she hadn’t learned to swim until joining the program. Before, she was afraid of the water. Now, after just a week of lessons, she’s confident swimming in the deep end.

“I like swimming because it helps me to get used to it, and making my body more attracted to it,” she said.

She also enjoys the challenge of pushing herself to try something new.

The district hopes the program will inspire students to pursue water sports when they reach high school.

“Who knows what kind of future Olympians we could be creating out here,” McGuire said. “It just becomes part of the school experience here in Escondido.”

For now, the pool will be primarily used by students, but the renovations mark the first step toward reopening it for the wider community.

“There’s definitely a want from the community to get this facility back up and running like it was before, and our investment gets it moving in the right direction,” McGuire said.

(c) Type of Protection Required.

(1) All Industrial, Commercial, Agricultural and Irrigation services shall be protected with a Reduced Pressure Principle Back ow Prevention Assembly (RPA), (2) An approved Double Check Detector Check Assembly shall be provided for all private re services.

(3) If an auxiliary water source is used for re service, then a Reduced Pressure Detector Check Assembly will be required.

(4) All temporary construction meters shall be protected with a RPA Assembly

(5) All properties that have a well on site must have a RPA Assembly on all water services to the property.

(6) All single-family residences with re sprinklers systems installed must have a Passive Purge System installed on their water system, on a designated xture, such as a toilet.

(7) The type of protection that shall be provided to prevent back ow into the approved water supply shall be commensurate with the degree of hazard that exists on the consumer’s premises. The type of protective assembly that may be required (listing in an increasing level of protection) includes: Double Check Valve Assembly (DC), Reduced Pressure Principle Back ow Prevention Assembly (RPA), and an air-gap separation (AG). The water user may choose a higher level of protection than required by the city. The minimum types of back ow protection required to protect the approved water supply, at the user’s water connection to premises with varying degrees of hazard are given below. Situations which are not covered below shall be evaluated on a case-bycase basis, and the appropriate back ow protection shall be determined by the city or Health Agency.

SALEM WITCHCRAFT

The North San Diego County Genealogical Society will hear from John Putnam, who will discuss “The Salem Witchcraft Hysteria.”

Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, takes place Nov. 1-2 and is a time to honor and celebrate ancestors and loved ones who have passed on.

The traditional holiday has roots as far back as 3,000 years ago in pre-Hispanic Mesoamerica.

The celebration at La Colonia Park in Solana Beach saw hundreds of attendees from Solana Beach and beyond, including residents who no longer live

there but whose families have a long history in the area.

Detailed altars, or ofrendas, are the highlight of the La Colonia celebration.

The steps on the western edge of the park featured over 40 multi-tiered ofrendas honoring friends and family.

Additionally, the stairs featured several ofrendas inside the trunks of classic cars by the Viejitos Car Club on the other side of the park.

Lupe Trejo and Yvonne Gonzalez created an ofrenda honoring their ancestors Jesus and Candelaria Gonzelez, who were among the first families to settle in La Colonia.

The two women grew up in La Colonia and try to visit with their own families whenever they can.

“It is always home, because our roots are here on this land,” said Trejo. “We try to come back every year.”

The family of cousins

Erika Rodriguez and Diana Aspeytia also set up an ofrenda, with several photos of their grandparents Raymundo and Justina Huesias, who immigrated to La Colonia from Jalisco, Mexico in the 1960s.

Raymundo and Justina had a family of 12, and Erika and Diana are part of a group of 39 total cousins.

“We moved out of La Colonia in 2002. It’s different, it’s so different … but it’s nice to come back to see a lot of the families who are

still rooted here,” said Aspeytia.

This year’s event also honored the veterans of La Colonia de Eden Gardens. On the east side of the park, visitors could view a display of posters featuring photos and information about individual veterans.

Families also enjoyed delicious food and shaved ice, participated in the Catrín and Catrina contest, and watched live music and dancing by MiraCosta Ballet Folklórico.

Healthy legs start here: Advanced vein care in North County

Dr. Adam Isadore, MD, DABR

Vascular & Interventional Radiologist

Board Certified Vein Specialist

Oceana Vein SpecialistsOceanside, CA

If you’ve noticed cramping, aching, swelling, or visible veins in your legs, you’re not alone. Millions of Americans suffer from varicose veins and spider veins, and while many see them as just a cosmetic is-

sue, they can actually be signs of underlying vein disease. Left untreated, these conditions can lead to leg discomfort, fatigue, cramping, swelling, and unsightly visible leg veins.

That’s where Dr. Adam Isadore and his team at Oceana Vein Specialists in Oceanside, CA come in. As a board-certified vein and vascular specialist with advanced fellowship training in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Dr. Isadore has dedicated his career to providing stateof-the-art, minimally invasive vein treatments designed to restore both the health and appearance of your legs.

A Modern Approach to Vein Care

Oceana Vein Specialists combines cutting-edge technology with compassionate, personalized care. Us-

ing advanced ultrasound diagnostics, Dr. Isadore can pinpoint the source of venous reflux—the underlying cause of varicose veins—and create a customized treatment plan that targets the root of the problem, not just the surface symptoms.

“Our focus is on helping patients feel better, not just look better,” says Dr. Isadore. “We see so many people who have lived with leg pain, swelling, and fatigue for years without realizing there’s a simple, in-office solution.”

Common Treatments

Offered at Oceana Vein Specialists Include:

Endovenous radiofrequency ablation – a minimally invasive office procedure to treat underlying diseased veins.

Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy – precision image guided treatment for smaller

varicose veins and surface veins.

Cosmetic spider vein sclerotherapy – a quick, effective way to erase small surface veins.

Phlebectomy –removal of large bulging veins through micro-incisions with no downtime.

All procedures are performed in-office using local anesthesia, allowing patients to walk out immediately and return to normal activities the same day. No matter your vein issue, Dr. Adam Isadore at Oceana Vein Specialists can help!

Why Experience Matters

With more than a decade of experience treating thousands of

patients across Southern California, Dr. Isadore is recognized for his technical expertise and patient-centered approach. His dedication to comfort, results, and safety has made Oceana Vein Specialists a top destination for vein care in North County San Diego.

Nana’s Lil Helpers brings holiday joy to seniors in need

VISTA - As the holiday season approaches, the local nonprofit Nana’s Lil Helpers is renewing its call to the community: bring light to nursing home residents who might otherwise feel forgotten. The group was founded in 2019 after its founder’s grandmother entered longterm care and lost many of her personal items. That moment inspired a mission to restore dignity and warmth to seniors who have so little.

Nana’s Lil Helpers delivers new, unwrapped gifts to low-income residents in care facilities across North County San Diego. Pajamas, blankets, slippers, toiletries, reading glasses and small comforts are carefully selected with input from nurses and social workers who know what is most needed.

“The moment I learned staff were handing out unlabeled clothes from my Nana’s closet and residents were left without their own items, I knew I had to do something,” the site explains. Since that first drive, the organization has grown year by year with the simple belief that everyone deserves to feel loved and valued.

The deadline for this season’s donations is Dec. 13. Drop-off locations are available throughout Vista, Carlsbad, Oceanside and San Marcos, giving residents across North County a chance to take part. Volunteer opportunities include

having Nana’s Lil Helpers reach out to our residents. They look forward to your special Christmas gifts every year.”

location.

• Make a monetary donation through PayPal or Venmo.

• Volunteer your time or space for gift wrapping or distribution.

wrapping gifts, distributing flyers or hosting a drop box. One hundred percent of monetary donations go directly toward gifts. Supporters can also “adopt” a resident to provide personalized presents.

A thank-you note from one facility reads, “It’s always been such a blessing

The organization’s gift list may sound modest: cozy pajama sets, jogger suits, blankets, beanies, gloves, non-slip socks, toiletry kits and reading glasses. But for an elderly person living on a fixed income, these simple items carry deep meaning. They represent ownership, comfort and care. Nana’s Lil Helpers makes sure each one is given with love and intention.

As December draws near, the message is clear. Many seniors will spend the holidays hoping for a moment of connection, a small reminder that someone remembers them. The smallest gesture can change that story.

How to help:

• Visit the organization’s Amazon wish list to send new items directly.

• Drop off a new, new unwrapped gift at any listed

• Volunteer your time or space for gift donation through PayPal or Venmo.

Picture a nursing home resident sitting quietly, waiting through another day that feels like every other.

Then imagine the moment they open a soft blanket or a pair of slippers chosen just for them. That moment says, “You matter.”
