Candidates differ on services, enforcement By Samantha Nelson

ESCONDIDO — Hundreds of residents listened as Mayor Dane White and his challenger, Elias Velazquez, explained how they plan to tackle homelessness if elected this November during a candidate forum earlier this month. Organized by the San Diego Rescue Mission, a nonprofit organization that provides services and addiction treatment to homeless individuals throughout the county, the Sept. 1 event at The Grand Ritz Theater was one of the first opportunities for residents to watch the two opponents face off. Donnie Dee, president and chief executive officer of the Rescue Mission, moderated the event. Both candidates have personal and professional experience with homelessness, Dee told the audience. Born and raised in Escondido, Velazquez currently works as information director for Brother Benno’s, a nonprofit organization that serves homeless people in Oceanside. Velazquez also previously interned with the city of Escondido and served as an aide to former Mayor Paul “Mac” McNamara, whom White unseated in the 2022 election. Part of Velazquez’s work with the city included supporting expanded homeless outreach and behavioral health services, according to his campaign website.

O’side seeks bids to stabilize pier’s end By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — The city is seeking bids to stabilize the hammerhead end of the Oceanside Pier more than two years after a fire severely damaged it. According to a recent update from city staff, work on the hammerhead — the pier’s widened western end — is expected to begin next month after a contractor is hired. Work to repair the hammerhead’s deck, railing and lighting will follow next spring and is expected to take eight months to THE CITY is looking to stabi- complete.

reopen to the public before the restaurant destroyed in the April 2024 fire is rebuilt. Following the fire, an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives determined that the blaze was accidental and caused by an electrical failure beneath the planks in the northwest portion of the hammerhead. According to the city, the restaurant leaseholder is still developing designs for the new building. OS Pier LLC obtained the lease after Ruby’s Diner filed for bankruptcy. While repairs to the charred end of the pier are forthcoming,

the city has also been finalizing designs and environmental documents for rebuilding the nearly 100-year-old white concrete portion that supports the pier. The permitting phase will begin after the city finalizes its design and program environmental impact report for rebuilding the pier’s concrete structure. The city has already set aside $11 million for the approximately $80 million project, but it needs more funding before construction can begin. For now, crews are patching deteriorated portions of the structure and hanging safety netting underneath.

Carlsbad urges state to address beach concerns Damaged sign highlights divide in oversight By Cameron Adams

CARLSBAD — A deteriorating sign welcoming visitors to Carlsbad State Beach illustrates the push and pull of coastal stewardship and highlights the city’s limited authority over most of its 7-mile coastline. The city owns and manages only about 1 mile of beach, stretching from just north of Oak Avenue to the Oceanside border. The remaining 6 miles are owned and managed by the state of California through California State Parks. Carlsbad City Manager Geoff Patnoe outlined those jurisdictional divisions in a Sept. 3 update addressing coastal erosion at Tamarack State Beach, the appearance of clusters of stones along the city-managed coastline and the deteriorating sign at Robert C. Frazee State Beach. Patnoe said recent natural ocean activity has severely eroded portions of Tamarack State Beach and the adjacent parking lot, but since both are state property, Carlsbad cannot lead the response or make repairs. The city is monitoring conditions, staying in contact with State Parks, and offering assistance if requested, Patnoe said. Farther north, residents have noticed clusters of small stones gathering along the city-managed shoreline north of Oak Avenue. Known as “cobble cusps,” the formations are created naturally as waves and changing ocean conditions move rocks and stones into scalloped patterns. Patnoe said some residents had questioned whether the rocks were dumped or deliberately placed along the beach. “These cobble cusps are completely natural and are simply the result of waves and coastal conditions moving material along the shoreline,” he added. The division of respon-

sibility has also become an issue at the entrance to Robert C. Frazee State Beach near the grassy triangle along Carlsbad Boulevard, where a State Parks sign has fallen into disrepair. The city has contacted State Parks about the sign since November and asked the agency to repair, remove or replace it, according to Patnoe. He said its condition is below the standard residents and visitors expect, but confusion remains over which government agency is responsible. “It is a State Parks sign, not a City of Carlsbad sign,” Patnoe wrote. “If it were our sign, it would have been replaced a long time ago.” State Parks is considering replacement signs designed to better withstand the coastal environment and require less maintenance, according to the update. The agency’s goal is to replace similar signs at state beaches, including the one in Carlsbad, during the 2026-27 fiscal year. Carlsbad has asked State Parks to expedite the project or remove the deteriorating sign while a replacement is pending. The city’s representatives in the state Legislature are also aware of the request and plan to follow its progress, Patnoe said. “We have a good re-

lationship with our State partners, but I also think it’s important to be transparent with Carlsbad residents about issues like this, especially when people are asking why the city isn’t fixing the sign,” Patnoe wrote. “The simple answer is… we would if we could.”

Encinitas advances fire station plans

The Encinitas Planning Commission has endorsed the city’s plans to purchase a 23,000-squarefoot property in Olivenhain as part of a long-term effort to build a new city-owned fire station. The commission voted unanimously Sept. 3 that the proposed purchase aligns with the city’s gener-

al plan. The proposed site is located just over a half-mile down Lone Jack Road from the existing Fire Station 6. The City Council approved a $400,000 contract with PBK Architects Inc. in October 2025 to design a station on the site. Scott Drapkin, the city’s development services director, said at the Sept. 3 meeting that the city did not yet have a site or development plan. The property is zoned rural residential-floodplain, where city documents say a fire station would be a conditionally permitted use. A minor conditional use permit would be required under city code. Fire Chief Josh Gordon said the station would be comparable in size to Fire Station 4 along Village Park Way. He added that

a timeline for the overall project is difficult to determine but would likely span several years because of the budgeting, design and permitting phases. “We’re planning for that long-term investment, not to just find a spot and try to plop down on it,” Gordon said. Commissioner Robert Prendergast said that while the commission was voting only on the potential property purchase, he supported the broader goal of building a more robust Fire Station 6 to serve Olivenhain and the surrounding area. “I support the opportunity to buy the property,” Prendergast said. “The community clearly needs it and it’s been a priority for the city for many, many years.” Commissioner Bridget Kimball echoed that support.

“I would agree that it’s important for us to have something that is a fully functional fire station for the area there,” Kimball said. “Development going east from there has, in the 25 years I’ve lived here, just continued to grow.” Drapkin also said the neighboring city-owned Little Oaks Equestrian Park would be a “perfect neighbor from a fire station perspective” and could coexist with a new station. “I know it’s a small place, but it is used by the community,” Prendergast said. “It is a horse-driven community and that park is used quite a bit … So, the fact that we were able to find something and still maintain a public park and open space for the community is just even more kind of gravy.” — Cameron Adams

Save local newsrooms

By Laura Rearwin Ward

ews outlet owners, journalists and coalitions of organizations that have come together to support the nation’s most important journalism legislation to date were still in scramble mode this week, even as supermajorities in the California Legislature passed the Community NEWS Act, authored by Assemblymember Chris Ward (D-San Diego). This historic legislation, which would provide meaningful support for the free press and the public’s right to know at the local level, is on the verge of becoming law. California news outlets, journalists, and advocates for civil liberties and government transparency are holding their breath as they wait for Gov. Gavin Newsom to sign Assembly Bill 2222 into law. Estimates indicate the law would direct more than $40 million a year to California local news outlets, including print, broadcast and digital operations, regardless of whether they operate under a for-profit or nonprofit business model. The funding would be distributed through tax credits based on the number of journalists each outlet employs. The structure is designed to serve smaller newsrooms first, as they would receive $20,000 per full-time journalist. That amount would decrease to $15,000 per journalist for newsrooms with more than five, and with additional funding available for new hires. We are one step away from making sustainable local news a reality. However, concern over the governor’s signature is well founded. Newsom has until Sept. 30 to sign the popular bill. This moment brings the California Independent News Alliance full circle. I founded CINA in 2024 after we lost the battle over SB 1327, a similar bill introduced by former state Sen. Steve Glazer that would have been funded by Big Tech. When Big Tech, chain news and other powerful lobbies came out hard

against it, Newsom refused to support the bill. That summer, many independent news outlets fully realized our interests were not being represented by any trade association or organization. We were being picked off one by one as we watched the number of journalists decrease across our regions, and the amount of corruption and misinformation in local communities and municipal governments increase. We joined hands in an

founder Steven Waldman underscored the bill’s importance in a Sept. 1 press release, saying, “If signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, a bill passed yesterday by supermajorities in the California legislature would be the most economically significant law supporting local news in the country, possibly in American history.” Glazer worked shoulder to shoulder with media partners to pass the bill. He was a unifying force, staying focused on our shared goal

The news industry is crumbling in California, and the 200 independent newspapers that remain are feeling the heat. alliance, hoping our voices would be heard and our newspapers saved. On the surface, AB 2222 looks much like the Glazer bill. But this legislation is financed through a measure that would end corporate tax breaks for executive compensation above $1 million, aligning California’s tax rules with federal law. The news industry is crumbling in California, and the 200 independent newspapers that remain are feeling the heat. This legislative season, CINA has been an important voice and a key connector among the huge coalition built throughout the state and nation to breathe life into our sagging industry. That coalition includes: Rebuild Local News

of protecting Californians’ right to know. The lesson learned in the news industry since 2024 is, as Glazer said that year, to “stop fighting to see who will be the last ship off the Death Star” and work together for the good of the people we serve. I trust Newsom will do the right thing and follow the lead of the Legislature, whose members represent the people and communities they come from. He must sign this bill and build in permanent support for the only industry protected by the Constitution of the United States.

I can’t do this anymore… Something is going to break… and I can’t do this to my family and my team.” This was Anthony. Near suicidal and, thankfully reached out for help. That decision became a turning point. Within a few hypnotherapy sessions, his nervous system settled, and regulation began. After more than 25 years working in the healing arts, I remain fascinated by the relationship between the mind and body. Someone can logically know they are successful while their body continues responding as though something is wrong. North County is home to entrepreneurs, executives, healthcare professionals and business owners who often carry an unspoken pressure to keep producing. Living near the ocean does not make us immune to burnout. In our Encinitas practice, we meet people who love what they do but recognize they cannot continue doing it with the same internal operating system. Of course, they don’t want less success… just to stop sacrificing themselves to maintain it. At HeartWise Hypnotherapy in Encinitas, we see this often among North County professionals. Many are living with what we call “chronic productivity.” They are running businesses and raising families, but struggling with poor sleep, irritability, substance use, or a mind that never switches off. Eventually, the nervous system’s cries for help can’t be ignored. But many continue to. A vacation or lighter schedule can help burnout, but only temporarily. Many people return home and find that within days, the same internal pressure is back within the same routines. We see every day in our clinic how chronic stress can become an automatic neurological pattern. Our work with anxiety and stress relief focuses on changing those responses rather than only managing symptoms, and clinical hypnotherapy gives us a way to recalibrate those subconscious patterns. Hypnosis is still misunderstood because many people first encounter it as entertainment. Clinical hypnotherapy is very different. At HeartWise, we combine hypnotherapy

with mind-body approaches to identify subconscious beliefs and learned responses contributing to chronic stress. Many professionals already understand their problem intellectually and know they work too much or need stronger boundaries. So more information is often not what they need. The deeper work involves reducing their nervous system to a lower baseline — neurologically. Through hypnotherapy, neurolinguistic programming, and somatic methods, we create neuroplasticity, which helps the brain develop and reinforce

Many are running businesses and raising families, but struggling with a mind that never switches off. new, healthier behaviors. Sometimes that means uncovering beliefs or earlier experiences that have kept someone operating with an ongoing sense of urgency. Other times, the focus is changing the body’s automatic response to stress. The objective is practical: helping people move through demanding lives without the same internal strain. Burnout is a deep yet subtle cry for help. Hypnotherapy offers a proven method for sustainable change and a better quality of life. Those struggling or just curious are invited to explore how this method can recalibrate their lives. Brian Festa is the clinical director of Heartwise Hypnotherapy and a hypnosis trainer with more than 20 years in the healing arts.

Encinitas opposes state intervention on Santa Fe Budget bill may prevent city redesign plans By Jordan P. Ingram

ENCINITAS — The city has urged Gov. Gavin Newsom to veto a state budget measure that could prevent Encinitas from redesigning portions of Santa Fe Drive after lawmakers approved the legislation in the closing hours of the legislative session. State Sen. Catherine Blakespear, D-Encinitas, recently inserted a provision in Senate Bill 114, part of a broader budget “trailer bill” revising several years of state spending, that specifically bars Encinitas from altering completed portions of the Santa Fe Drive Corridor Improvements Project. The language was incorporated into SB 114 on Aug. 28, three days before lawmakers approved the bill earlier last week. The proposal, now awaiting the governor’s signature, followed Blakespear’s SB 569, separate legislation that sought similar restrictions on removing bike lanes statewide but died without receiving a final Assembly vote. The budget provision attaches new conditions to $3.09 million in state funding awarded to Encinitas for the roadway improvements in 2023. The same

language appeared in the measure’s Assembly counterpart, AB 114, which died on the Senate floor. The policy is narrowly tailored to Encinitas and designed to prevent the city from removing a barrier-protected bike lane approved during Blakespear’s tenure as mayor and later built with state funding she helped secure as a senator. Blakespear defended the measure as a safeguard for a state-funded safety project and argued that the city’s planned redesign would make the corridor more dangerous.

“The idea that we should improve, not remove, remains the same,” Blakespear told The Coast News. “The (Encinitas) City Council majority’s proposed removal of the barrier-protected bike lane will unquestionably reduce safety along that corridor and put bicyclists back alongside traffic, protected only by a white line.” Mayor Bruce Ehlers, however, sharply criticized the move, accusing Blakespear of using an end-ofsession legislative maneuver to accomplish what she had sought through SB 569:

imposing state restrictions that would hamstring the city’s planned redesign of Santa Fe Drive. “A former mayor of Encinitas is trying to force her will on a duly elected council,” Ehlers told The Coast News. “My problem is the subversive nature of her tactics.” The original Santa Fe Drive Corridor Improvements Project narrowed vehicle lanes to 10 feet, added back-in angled parking and installed separated bike lanes with protective barriers. It also included pedestrian improvements and

traffic-calming measures intended to reduce speeds and improve safety near San Dieguito Academy, the city’s largest high school. Under SB 114, Encinitas could not remove or modify the protected bike lanes for at least five years after the project’s completion. From five to 15 years, the city could remove all or part of the bikeway only if it repays the full $3.09 million and demonstrates that the changes would provide equal or greater safety, accessibility and mobility for pedestrians and cyclists. As a budget-related bill, SB 114 can take effect immediately if signed by the governor. Blakespear said her efforts reflect a longstanding commitment to pedestrian and bicycle safety, not an attempt to override the current council. “The through line of all my public service is to try to make it safer to bike and walk on our streets,” Blakespear said. “I’m grateful to be able to ensure that Santa Fe will remain a safer corridor and the city won’t be able to revert or change it to an unsafe roadway.” While citing other examples in cities around the state, Blakespear acknowledged that the Santa Fe Drive controversy helped shape SB 569, which originally addressed homeless encampments and was initially supported by the Encinitas City Council.

On June 11, Blakespear used a procedure known as “gut and amend” to replace the bill’s contents with language governing changes to bicycle infrastructure statewide. Although SB 569 did not specifically mention Santa Fe Drive, the project fit the type of state-funded bikeway the revised legislation sought to protect from removal. Encinitas opposed the amended bill, as did several other local groups concerned about local control. Supporters, including San Diego County Bicycle Coalition and SanDiego350, argued the measure was needed to prevent cities from removing safety improvements because of political pressure or changes in elected leadership. Ehlers traveled to Sacramento to oppose SB 569 before the Assembly Transportation Committee, where he learned that even if passed, the bill would not retroactively prevent the city from proceeding with its Santa Fe Drive redesign. SB 569 advanced to the Assembly floor but was moved to the inactive file on Aug. 31 without receiving a final vote, effectively killing it when the legislative session ended. The provision in SB 114, however, applies directly to the $3.09 million appropriation from the state’s Active TURN TO SANTA FE ON 28

Escondido prohibits e-bike use for riders under 12 By Samantha Nelson

ESCONDIDO — Late last month, a City Council majority approved new regulations for electric bicycles, including a ban on riders younger than 12, after sending a staff proposal back to the drawing board earlier this summer. Staff originally proposed an ordinance in June to update city code to regulate e-bikes. However, the City Council directed staff to fine-tune the policy after many community members said the ordinance was too restrictive. The ordinance, approved on a 4-1 vote Aug. 26, includes definitions distinguishing traditional bicycles from mobility devices, including electric bicycles, electric personal assistive mobility devices, electrical-

ly motorized boards, lowspeed vehicles, motorized scooters, motor vehicles, shared mobility devices and other similar vehicles. Escondido police Lt. Craig Miller of the Traffic Division explained the three classes of e-bikes: Class 1: E-bikes equipped only with pedal assistance and limited to a top speed of 20 mph. These bikes are typically used for recreational assistance. Class 2: E-bikes with both pedal and throttle assistance and a maximum speed of 20 mph. These bikes are most commonly used by children commuting to and from school. Class 3: E-bikes equipped with a speedometer and assistance up to 28 mph. These bikes are mostly used by people commuting

The federal district court rejected the excessive-force claim against all officers present except the officer who took Emmons to the ground while arresting him for resisting arrest and delaying a police officer. The court found that no clearly established law dictated that the arresting officer could not act as he did, so he was entitled to qualified immunity. Ultimately, the case resulted in a favorable ruling for the city and clarified how qualified immunity applies in federal civil rights cases. McGuinness also guided the city through complex legal and policy challenges, including pandemic restrictions and preparing Measure I, the city’s 1-cent sales tax measure, for the November 2024 election. He also served as president of the City Attorneys Association of San Diego from 2019 to 2020. “Mike has served this City with integrity, thoughtfulness, and a deep respect for the role of local government,” City Manager Sean McGlynn said. “We appreciate his dedication to Escondido and are thankful for the strong foundation he leaves behind.” McGuinness plans to spend more time with family and travel in retirement. “I am humbled,” a tearyeyed McGuinness said at the council meeting. “I’ll miss everybody – it’s been extraordinary.” At the same meeting, the council unanimously appointed Assistant City Attorney Dare DeLano as interim city attorney until the city hires a permanent replacement. As part of the promotion, DeLano received a 10% raise, increasing her annual salary to $277,200.

Vista brewery Prohibition for sale By Jim Trageser

VISTA — Kyle Adams says his family’s decision to sell the popular Prohibition Brewing Company after a 15-year run is rooted in joy. Adams sat down with The Coast News during a brief lull in business Thursday afternoon to discuss the family’s decision to put the brewpub in north Vista on the market. “My parents want to retire,” he explained, adding that the equity built up in the property — which the family purchased in 2010 — will allow them to do so. The building at 2004 E. Vista Way dates to the 1960s. When Adams and his parents, Ron and Kathy, bought it 16 years ago, it was a Latino nightclub known as D’Elegantes. Adams said the building was in poor condition, and the family invested considerable time and money in renovating it. Business remains strong, Adams said, adding that the location should make the property attractive to potential buyers. “It’s on a major road, so there is good access. We have 87 parking spaces, more than most places. And there is no real competition: We have houses all around us, and more are being built.” Adams said the approximately $2.7 million asking price covers the business name, building and real estate. The family is also entertaining offers for the brewing equipment, dining room furniture and vintage-themed decor, including lithographs depicting various locations in Vista. “It’s all negotiable,” he said. Buyers interested in continuing to operate the building as a restaurant and/or brewpub can also negotiate for the family’s food and beer recipes. Those beer and ale recipes led to the founding of Prohibition, Adams said. “My parents were in construction. Then 2008 hit, and that dried up” during the recession. “We were homebrewing, and people really liked it so much they demanded we sell it.” The original food menu was fairly limited, Adams said, but the family hired a chef who brought in entrees of his own and created new recipes. “Different chefs have added different things over the years.” Among the restaurant’s more striking features, in addition to the lithographs, are vintage ceiling lights and a hand-carved reproduction of a Mafia-style rack of Tommy guns in one of the dining rooms. Adams said his grandfather, Ted Adams, made all of them, along with several lamps carved in the shape of the distinctive Thompson .45-caliber submachine gun made famous through its many appearances in mob movies set during Prohibition.

kitchen and brewery, the roughly 7,000-squarefoot building includes two indoor dining areas, one with a traditional bar, and an outdoor patio. Roughly 5,000 square feet is devoted to dining, and the restaurant has a capacity of roughly 160 people, Adams said. SRS Real Estate Partners is handling the sale. A final day of business has not been set, but late September is the most likely timeframe, Adams said. The roughly 30 employees are being encouraged to look for new jobs and are free to leave as they find them. Adams said the restaurant will likely close when staffing becomes too limited to continue operating. While his parents are ready to enter retirement, Adams said with a laugh that only one thing is certain on his agenda before he decides what comes next in his career: “A vacation,” Adams said.

Pacific Rim BESS relocated after concerns

After hearing concerns from neighbors, the Carlsbad Unified School District has revised its Pacific Rim Elementary School improvement plans to relocate a proposed battery energy storage system, or BESS. Rob Nye, assistant superintendent for business services at CUSD, told The Coast News that the new BESS location was a “winwin” for all involved. “The neighbors had brought it to our attention that they had some concerns about the original location,” Nye said. “On our end, we have community-based schools. We want to be good neighbors and work with our community – parents, students and neighbors.” The district first submitted a coastal development permit application to the City of Carlsbad in February and later mailed public notices to surrounding property owners on May 11. The plans included a solar canopy connected to a battery system. Sarah Lemons, a spokesperson for the city, said the solar canopy was expected to have a capacity of 25 kilowatts and

that the BESS would be between the size of a refrigerator and a small shed. Residents of the nearby Mariners Point community had reached out to the district, city and The Coast News with concerns about the location of the batteries on the property. Ryan Murphy, CUSD’s director of facilities planning and construction, said he walked the property twice to find a solution that worked for all parties. Murphy said the first walkthrough was with just neighbors, but then he asked the design team to work on alternative solutions before walking the property again with the representatives of the Carlsbad Fire Department, city staff and neighboring residents. “We walked it again and found a solution,” he said. Nye said that the new location was an “equally acceptable location” that met all state design and safety requirements. According to project documents, the new location is more centrally located on campus, near an existing parking lot just off Hidden Valley Road. — Cameron Adams

Publisher buys, rebrands The Paper

Roadrunner Publications, which publishes the weekly newspapers Valley Roadrunner and the Escondido Times-Advocate, announced Sept. 3 that it has purchased The Paper from publisher and editor Lyle Davis and rebranded it as The North County Chronicle. The Chronicle will continue to publish weekly and will be distributed along the state Route 78 corridor. Jeff Pack, a former reporter and page designer for The Californian in Temecula, has been named the editor. David Ross will continue as editor of the Valley Roadrunner and Times-Advocate. Roadrunner Publications’ expansion began in 2015, when Valley Center native Justin Salter purchased the Valley Roadrunner and returned the newspaper to local ownership. The acquisition also includ-

SAN MARCOS — San Marcos wide receiver Ezekiel McIntyre scored three touchdowns Friday night in the Knights’ 28-14 home win over Poway. Add in 10 catches and 148 yards, and the senior playmaker had plenty to celebrate. But for McIntyre, the night was marked not by the three times he found the end zone, but by the one time he gave the ball away. “There’s things I still need to work on,” McIntyre told The Coast News after the game. “Even though I had three TDs, I fumbled and that’s the only thing I’m going to remember from the night.” McIntyre’s big night began on the Knights’ opening offensive play. In muggy conditions, quarterback Jordan Roa found him for 33 yards, then connected with him again for 25 yards to set up first-andgoal. After two incompletions, Roa found McIntyre

for a 5-yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead. Roa and McIntyre connected again in the second quarter, this time for a 24yard touchdown that put San Marcos ahead 14-0. Poway answered with an 8-yard rushing touchdown, but the Knights took a 14-7 lead into halftime. The teams exchanged fumbles in the first half, with San Marcos’ Alonzo Rodriguez recovering a Poway fumble at the Knights’ 49-yard line. The score stayed 14-7 through the third quarter before Mo Henderson scored on a 22-yard run early in the fourth. Roa and McIntyre connected for a third touchdown, a 12-yard score that pushed the lead to 28-7. Poway closed out the scoring with a 39-yard touchdown pass from Levi Graham to Trevor Murphy. “We still have things to clean up,” McIntyre said. “We are a very young team, but we are a team that

loves to finish to the last whistle.” For the Knights (2-1), McIntyre has 25 catches for 347 yards and five touchdowns this season, along with a 50-yard punt-return TD. “The connection that Jordan Roa and I have is something everyone loves to see in a star QB and his receiver,” McIntyre said. “But it’s not just me getting the ball. We have other weapons that will get open too and get the ball. Jordan trusts me a lot because of our connection off the field.” Next up for San Marcos: Sept. 18, 7 p.m., at San Pasqual.

Locals that shaped Yankee welcome him home By Cameron Adams

ENCINITAS – Spencer Jones took the field as centerfielder for the New York Yankees with a reminder of home. Jones left San Diego on Sunday having played 26 games in this, his rookie season at the iconic position of Mickey Mantle and Joe Dimaggio with “Just Cruisin” stitched into his glove. “He told me, ‘If I ever make it, I’ll put it on my glove,’” Jose Balderas, one of Jones’s coaches at La Costa Canyon High School, told Coast News. “And it’s there now.” The saying dates back to a common refrain Balderas would offer when players he coached or others in the community would ask how he was doing. It became a philosophy and rallying cry, Balderas would make shirts for the Mavericks teams whenever the playoffs rolled around. “That was the motto: just cruisin’ along,” he said. “If we play hard and take care of each other, we’ll be fine. We’re here for a reason.” Jones returned to San Diego to play his hometown Padres as a visiting Yankee. He collected two doubles among four total hits, while playing centerfield in all three games. Leigh Jones, his mom,

ENCINITAS NATIVE Spencer Jones had four hits, including two doubles, and drove in three runs during the New York Yankees’ weekend series against the Padres at Petco Park in San Diego. The rookie started in center field in all three games during his first summer visit home in six years. At right, Jones is pictured as an Encinitas Little League All-Star and later as a standout at La Costa Canyon High School. Courtesy photos

said it was the first time he had been home during the summer in six years. She said that “all the stars aligned for this weekend,” including an off-day between the series that ended in Anaheim and the one that began in the Gaslamp Quarter. Leigh said that Spencer spent that time with close

friends, his three brothers and family dogs in and around their Cardiff-by-theSea home. They grilled Cardiff Crack for dinner, made the rounds at favorite taco shops and even spent some time at the beach. Chaz Gagne, a longtime family friend and 11-time Encinitas Little League coach, said that “it was the

old kids hanging around together” playing cards and carrying on like they did back in the day. “Stone-cold sober, they’re just giggling their asses off because nothing has changed,” Gagne said. Jones returned to the Bronx for a pinstripe playoff push capable of playing all three outfield positions due

to his speed, arm and power bat. Through Sept. 6, he has hit 13% better than the league average by weighted runs created plus and has tacked on 9 stolen bases and 9 homers in 223 total plate appearances. Those who The Coast News spoke to said he left his hometown of Encinitas and San Diego County, more

broadly, warmer than he found it due to both his play on the field and easy-going, engaging presence. “He came into this weekend with a lot of friends and left with a lot more,” Gagne said. For the full version of this story, visit thecoastnews.com.

Fire torches Brengle

Carlsbad lauds late civic leader By Cameron Adams

By Jim Trageser

VISTA — A small brush fire Sunday morning near the pickleball courts at Brengle Terrace Park briefly threatened nearby apartments and led to an evacuation order for more than 100 residents before local crews knocked it down. Brendan Halley, a battalion chief for the Vista Fire Department, said the fire burned about 1.5 acres of trees and brush on the west side of the park near the 1200 block of Vale Terrace Drive. According to Halley, the amount and type of vegetation in the storm drain where the fire started made the blaze more difficult to extinguish. “There are stands of eucalyptus there, and some dead pine trees, and it was burning pretty far down in the culvert, so Cal Fire hand crews went down to remove the vegetation so we could get down to the hot spots," Halley said. About 15 fire units were on scene to assist in extinguishing the blaze, with Oceanside, San Marcos and North County Fire departments also responding, fire officials said. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office ordered the evacuation of apartment buildings just north of the fire on Meadow Lake Drive at about 8 a.m. Vista High School was designated as an evacuation center. Vista Fire later learned that about 40 people were assisted at Vista High, Halley said. Witnesses told ABC10 that the fire was first spotted just after 7 a.m. “Forward progress was stopped within 2 hours,” Halley said. “Units were on scene for about 7 hours, cutting down vegetation and watching for flare-ups." No structures were burned, but Halley said some of the apartment buildings may have suffered heat damage from the nearby flames. The cause of the fire remained under investigation as of Tuesday morning.

O’side tackles routes for Capistrano access By Samantha Nelson

OCEANSIDE — The city is exploring several options to improve access to and from the Capistrano neighborhood, a community directly in front of Camp Pendleton’s main gate. For years, residents of Capistrano — a small neighborhood immediately east of Interstate 5 along Oceanside’s boundary with Camp Pendleton — have faced difficulty entering and leaving their community because its only access points are near or directly in front of the Marine Corps base’s main gate. During periods of heavy traffic, entering or exiting the neighborhood can be nearly impossible. While the access issues frustrate residents, they also raise public safety concerns about whether residents could safely evacuate during an emergency such as a wildfire. “My 8-year-old son sleeps with his stuffies in his suitcase in case they have to evacuate,” said Diana De Rosa, a longtime Capistrano resident. In April, the City Council directed staff to study secondary access and emergency evacuation options for the community and return with recommendations. Engineering staff worked with police, fire and Camp Pendleton representatives to evaluate 10 alternatives. Staff presented its findings to the council Sept. 2. The alternatives identified several potential new entrances and exits for the community. The first option examined connecting Capistrano Drive to Prince of Peace Abbey, but the project would take an estimated 10 to 15 years to complete and cost the city approximately $175 million in today’s dollars. The second option examined connecting Capistrano Drive to San Luis Rey Drive through a sewer easement with an exit-only road, but the Fire Department does not favor that alternative. Other options included

building bridges over Interstate 5, connecting Santa Rosa and San Simeon streets to Airport Road, and adding an emergency exit through Camp Pendleton. However, police, fire or base officials opposed some of the alternatives, while others were deemed too costly or time-consuming. Ultimately, the council narrowed the alternatives to three options for staff to study further: Option 6 would connect North Loretta Street to state Route 76 with a two-way access point using the existing signalized intersection at South Loretta Street. Staff estimates the project would cost about $90 million and take seven to 10 years to complete. Option 7 would connect North Loretta Street to SR-76 with an exit-only on-ramp, helping prevent through traffic from entering the neighborhood while having less impact on SR76. The project is also estimated to cost $90 million and take seven to 10 years to complete. Option 8 would create a two-way access road connecting Capistrano Drive to SR-76 at the existing Loretta Street intersection. The project is estimated to cost $60 million and take approximately the same amount of time as the other two alternatives. As part of the council’s direction, Councilmember Rick Robinson asked staff to determine what would be required to add another Interstate 5 off-ramp to separate drivers heading to the base from those returning home to the Capistrano neighborhood. According to base representatives, the first eight options could qualify for up to $20 million in federal funding through the Defense Community Infrastructure Program. The base would not support Option 9, which proposed connecting Capistrano Drive to Carnation Street on the base. Additionally, Option 10, which proposed opening the main

gate to evacuees during an emergency, could occur only under “extreme evacuation scenarios.” Robinson, who served as Oceanside’s fire chief before his election to the City Council in 2022, also emphasized the need to establish a defensible space where residents could gather during an emergency while the city pursues a long-term solution. “If we can’t get cars out, we need a place to move people out of the way,” Robinson said. At a resident’s request, staff will also evaluate access to fire hydrants in the neighborhood.

Phoned threat triggers school lockdown

Carlsbad High School was placed on a prolonged lockdown Sept. 3 after police received a phoned-in threat involving the campus. Carlsbad police responded at approximately 11:26 a.m. and initiated the precautionary lockdown in coordination with school officials. Officers and other law enforcement personnel conducted a thorough, methodical sweep of the campus, checking and clearing each area. Lt. Eric Kovanda told The Coast News that the lockdown lasted at least five hours. Police found no physical threat at the school and said the call appeared to be unsubstantiated. Authorities also reported no indication of an outstanding suspect or danger to the surrounding community. Officers remained at the school to assist with traffic control as students were released. School officials communicated directly with families about student pickup and after-school activities. Police are continuing to investigate the origin of the call. — Cameron Adams

CARLSBAD — Mayor Keith Blackburn concluded the annual State of the City address by paying tribute to longtime former council member Ann Kulchin, a mentor and civic leader who served the city for over three decades. Kulchin, who spent 32 years on the City Council, died at age 93 on March 9, after her State of the City interview was recorded but before the video aired KULCHIN Sept. 1. Blackburn said that when they voted differently while serving together on the council, Kulchin, a former elementary school teacher, would slide him a note, humorously asking, “Do you still like me?” “This was the kind of person I got to work with and someone who served our community for so many years,” he said. “Ann always quoted a poet and said, ‘People don’t remember you for what you said or what you did, but they will remember you for how you made them feel.’” Kulchin was first elected to the City Council in 1980 and played a key role in developing the city’s first growth management plan and building the Dove Library, where the courtyard was named in her honor in 2022. She served on numerous organizations' boards, including Encina Wastewater Authority, North County Transit District, SANDAG’s Shoreline Preservation Committee and the foundations supporting the Agua Hedionda, Batiquitos and Buena Vista lagoons. Kulchin, who also served with the Carlsbad Charitable Foundation and North County Concert Association, received honors including Carlsbad Woman of the Year and California Women in Government recognition. In 2013, she and her husband received the Scripps Encinitas Circle of Life Distinguished Achievement Award. “Ann, you were successful," Blackburn said. "You made us all feel like we were part of your family. Thank you. I miss you so much.” The remainder of the State of the City video highlighted various projects, initiatives and people throughout Carlsbad. Blackburn said that while other cities typically place the responsibility solely on the mayor, he appreciated having the rest of the council address specific topics throughout the video. “It’s always fun to see what [Blackburn] comes up with,” said Mayor Pro Tem Priya Bhat-Patel. During her segment,

Bhat-Patel discussed upgrades and projects at several public spaces. The work included the groundbreaking at Veterans Memorial Park and a percussion exhibit at the Sculpture Garden near Georgina Cole Library. “I’m really excited about what’s next,” Bhat-Patel said from the dais. “We have more spaces that will bring our neighbors together, more opportunities to explore the outdoors that we’re so lucky to have and a community that keeps growing while staying true to what makes it special.” Councilmember Teresa Acosta highlighted a range of environmental projects the city has undertaken. Those efforts included expanding access to electric vehicle charging stations in public parking lots, using 100% renewable energy to power all city facilities and working with local businesses. The city added 14 businesses to its Carlsbad Green Business Network, bringing the total to 72, according to the city. “We feel a deep connection here in Carlsbad to our places,” Acosta said from the dais. “To our land, our three lagoons, our pristine coastlines — seven miles long — and all of our open spaces. We understand that we have to be good environmental stewards and protect our environmental resources.” Councilmember Melanie Burkholder discussed changes to the city’s built environment during her segment. Those projects included adding all-way stops in the Barrio and Village communities and sidewalk improvements throughout the city. “I am excited for this year’s video because our community will see there’s so much happening in Carlsbad to make our city more accessible and more livable,” Burkholder said from the dais, “helping to uphold our incredible quality of life.” Councilmember Kevin Shin danced the Cabbage Patch, a popular 1980s dance move, to express his enthusiasm about reduced traffic congestion following the El Camino Real widening project. The segment also highlighted public safety efforts, including the new Community-Oriented Policing and Problem-Solving team, e-bike laws and a new approach to enforcing fireworks laws. After the video, City Manager Geoff Patnoe said that while he appreciated the opportunity to highlight the work of city employees throughout the year, the 27-minute video could have been “three or four hours long” to cover all their efforts.

Local tennis club celebrates 60 By Cameron Adams

St. Petka hosts Serbian festival By Jim Trageser

SAN MARCOS — Four generations of Americans grew up knowing little to nothing about Serbia, the Balkan nation that re-emerged as an independent country following the breakup of Yugoslavia. Serbia became a sovereign nation again in 2006, nearly nine decades after joining the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, which was established in 1918 and later renamed Yugoslavia. But Serbia has always maintained its culture, history and Serbian Orthodox Church. Local Serbian immigrants founded St. Petka Serbian Orthodox Church in San Marcos in 1986. For nearly 15 years, with occasional breaks because of the COVID-19 pandemic and other issues, St. Petka has hosted its annual Serb Fest. This year’s festival is set for noon to 10 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26. The Rev. Milovan Katanić, the church’s pastor since 2015, told The Coast News that the parish festival introduces North County residents to both the congregation and the larger Serbian community. “It’s an open house: people come and taste our food and listen to our music.” As with most church festivals, volunteers organize and run the event. A Serbian folklore troupe will perform and lead dancing sessions, and Dragana Carić and Boris Batula will provide live music. Parish members will spit-roast pig and lamb and serve Serbian beef goulash made with onions slow-cooked until they

break down into a sauce. Other traditional Serbian foods include ćevapi, a type of sausage served on a flatbread known as lepinje, and palačinke, traditional Serbian crepes. A popular side dish is urnebes, a spread made with salty cheese, sour cream, paprika, roasted peppers, cream cheese, oil and egg yolks. Ajvar is another popular spread made with bell peppers and garlic. While Greeks and Turks both claim to have invented baklava, the decadent layered pastry has been embraced by Serbian culture and made wholly its own. Imported Serbian beer will be sold to those 21 and older, along with rakija, a traditional fruit brandy made from a variety of fruits, including quince, plums and pears. Church tours will also be offered, Katanić said. “We talk about theology, who we are.” However, he laughingly admitted that the questions he receives during tours are rarely about the Christian faith and instead are “Usually about construction!” A recent major roof repair is complete, and exterior scaffolding around the dome has been removed, although interior repairs related to water damage remain. The church also has longstanding plans to have icons written on its interior walls. St. Petka Serbian Orthodox Church is located at 1854 Knob Hill Road. Admission to Serb Fest is $5, with food and drinks available for separate purchase. Identification is required to purchase alcohol.

ENCINITAS — Longtime members of the San Dieguito Tennis Club say it has always been about more than tennis. Sure, the private club has welcomed high-level competitions and athletes to its 5-acre facility nestled into the cliffs above El Camino Real, but social chair Linda Goldsmith said that’s just the beginning. “Come for the tennis, stay for the friendships,” Goldsmith said. The club, founded in 1966, will celebrate its 60th anniversary Sept. 19 with an event occupying courts one and two. More than 150 members are expected to attend, including surviving founding members such as Brenda Humphreys. Humphreys said the club emerged from a passionate tennis scene in Cardiff-by-the-Sea in the 1960s. Before founding the club, the group played at Glen Park but quickly felt it needed more than the single court available then. The group petitioned the county government for more courts — Encinitas was still more than 20 years away from incorporation — but was turned down. “We were very fortunate that we had several families that had the foresight and the means – the money – and we wanted to build a tennis club,” Humphreys said. For $12,000, the group purchased 2.5 acres along El Camino Real. The San Dieguito Tennis Club incorporated and set its original membership dues at $300, with monthly fees of $10. “In those days it was very difficult, especially for young families to come up with $300,” Humphreys said. She added that Al Childs of Solana Beach Lumber provided pro bono accounting services, while Burton Shamsky provided legal assistance free of charge to the burgeoning club. “Everybody volunteered,” Humphreys said. “Every weekend, we had a work crew. Members would come and volunteer and do everything. “I personally tied steel

in these courts … We put up the screens, painted everything.” The club formally opened its doors in 1966 with 44 owner-members. At the time, the club included four tennis courts, a one-story clubhouse, locker rooms and a swimming pool. Over the years, it evolved, adding three courts in 1972 after purchasing additional land in 1968, 1969 and 1972 for a total of $34,000. The club added two more courts in 1985, as well as lights to several existing courts around that time. The clubhouse later added an upper level. The addition was controversial at the time and approved by members in a 51-49 vote, but it has since become a beloved part of the club. “This is like a little treehouse,” Goldsmith said. “We’re like a family and this is our family room.” Brad Humphreys, Brenda’s husband, joined the club in the late 1960s and served as its tennis professional from 1970 until his retirement in 2014. “I taught some four generations,” Brad said. “It’s pretty amazing how tennis is a big part of families and that you can literally play tennis your whole life. You can play with your kids, you can play with your grand-

children.” The professional players who have competed on the courts on the hill include Taylor Fritz, currently ranked among the world’s top 10, and 11-time major champion Rod Laver. The club has hosted numerous U.S. Tennis Association-sanctioned tournaments and other high-level competitions. Among its notable USTA events, the club has hosted the annual San Dieguito Junior Open Championships, featuring singles and doubles divisions, as well as adult league matches. Members say that despite the high level of competition, good company and good food have been club staples throughout its 60year history. “Food goes with everything here,” Brad said. “We even had a cookbook.” “Members make the food, it’s so lovely,” Goldsmith said. “It’s potluck family style.” The club hosted an annual pig-roast luau, where children pitched tents, camped out and roasted marshmallows. “Our children all grew up in the swimming pool,” Brenda said. Members also set off fireworks during Fourth of July celebrations. “In those days we were

allowed to do more things than you can do here today,” Brenda said with a laugh. “Today you couldn’t shoot off fireworks and do all that here.” The club has hosted blood drives, Toys for Tots collections and events supporting victims of domestic violence. “I just feel like our club has played a tremendous role in the community,” Brad said. “As far as I know, we have a perfect reputation.” In 1998, the USTA recognized San Dieguito as its Tennis Club of the Year. The U.S. Professional Tennis Association presented the club with the same honor in 2011. Juan Garcia now serves as the club’s head professional, leading what he described as a membership with many international influences. “A lot of the members have gone from playing juniors here to playing division one tennis and professional,” Garcia said. “Its a good pathway.” Member Jane Sanders said that someone once approached the club with an offer to buy it from the members. “This clubhouse was packed with people who said, ‘No, we are not for sale,’” Sanders said. “No amount of money can replace this,” Brenda said.

Escondido OKs police military gear By Samantha Nelson

ESCONDIDO — The city has once again approved the Police Department’s military equipment inventory report, complying with a statewide mandate now in its fifth year. Each year, police departments across the state must seek approval from their elected governing bodies to fund, acquire and use “military equipment” as defined by Assembly Bill 481, a state law that took effect in 2022. The law requires the Escondido Police Department to develop a military equipment use policy, report annually to the City Council, maintain a catalog of its military equipment,

track complaints related to the equipment and be as transparent as possible with the community. The Oceanside Police Department approved its military equipment report and inventory earlier this summer. “Although the law uses the term ‘military equipment,’ many of these tools are specialized public safety resources used to resolve critical incidents while reducing risk to the community members, officers and suspects,” said Capt. Erik Witholt of the Escondido Police Department. The department’s military equipment list includes drones, a “robotic platform,” consisting of a micro ro-

bot with video and camera feeds, incident command vehicles, armored personnel carriers, breaching equipment, patrol and SWAT rifles, flashbangs in both shotgun- and hand-deployed forms, a long-range

acoustic device, 40-millimeter launchers and chemical agents, including tear gas and pepper balls. In 2025, the Police Department used drones for 225 mission flights, totaling 53.08 hours of flight time.

Surf spoken here

othing, in my experience, can replace the feeling of riding a wave. Nothing! Billabong had it right with their tagline: “Only a surfer knows the feeling.” If you surf, you know it’s true. If you don’t surf, you are left with imagining what it’s like to drop into a wall of water that’s traveled thousands of miles for the pleasure of your company. It’s like a gift from God, all wrapped up in pretty paper after being forged in violence. Once the energy from that once mighty power source has evaporated into the sand, it is left for people like me to write about its short life. I do that as best I can, yet I, like everyone else who attempts to write about surfing, fail miserably. That’s why most of my stories concern people rather than waves. These noble bums have made a lifetime of doing extraordinarily brave, comical and stupid things. Since the age of 13, when I spent my summer hitchhiking to Huntington Pier and playing poker for cigarettes and spare change, I have been collecting such stories. Many of the people I write about are famous: Phil Edwards, Paul Strauch, Dale Velzy, Linda Benson and Margo Oberg have all lived lives that created the templates we all follow. Others, like “Tiny Brain” Thomas, who once drove his friend Bill Graham’s car into the ocean to create a surfing reef, are lesser known. Many of my best stories concern friends like Chicky. “Chicky” was a hipster kid who rarely surfed, but who always depended upon the kindness of strangers. It was he who taught me the art of leaching money, saying, “Walk up to some old tourist lady and tell her your dad ran out of gas and could she spare a nickel or a dime to get you home?” The scam always yielded at least a buck, which in the early ‘60s translated into four gallons of gas, five hamburgers or pancakes for three at the Buzz Inn. By now most of you realize that I have a new book. This volume of short stories is a retelling of my first book, “Good TURN TO WATERSPOT ON 16

Rats in my belfry offer valuable lesson

So for five years we’ve had critters doing the conga line in our attic and drew the line when they started popping up in our kitchen. Now, with winter soon upon us, we finally rat-proofed the attic.

Odd Files Gas Station

A teacher in Georgia recently went viral for a special space she made in her classroom — a “fart corner.” Today.com reported on Aug. 25 that second grade teacher Candy Sydney-Browning created a “gas station” in her classroom for students who just need to let one rip. “I have a very weak stomach, so I cannot take it,” Sydney-Browning said. The gas station is marked with a yellow sign that reads “GUSTY WINDS AREA,” and students are not required to raise their hands to ask permission to visit the gas station. The students have taken the corner in stride. Sydney-Browning said some initially turned around or smiled when someone needed to visit the gas station, but soon no one was paying attention. “It just became a norm,” she said.

A Bat for Breakfast

Dr. Krista Edelman of Virginia woke up around 6 a.m. on Aug. 20 to find a bat attempting to get inside of her mouth, WWBT reported. “I was dreaming that there was a little mouse trying to get into my mouth,” Edelman said. “And then in my dream, I was reaching up to my mouth. And when I did, I grabbed something and ultimately, I had folded the bat’s wings back.” She began screaming, waking her husband, who — armed with mittens, a

After the ordeal was over and animal control had whisked the bat away, Edelman cleaned her mouth and went to work seeing patients. However, after speaking to an infectious disease doctor about the risk of rabies — which is fatal if untreated — and learning about the high incidence of it in her area, she went to St. Mary’s Hospital, where she started a vaccine series. When the bat tested negative for the illness a few days later, Edelman ended her treatment. [WWBT, 8/26/26]

Operation Care Bear

Can we all agree that it’s been unbearably hot this summer? That could be what sent a mother bear and her cubs into a large water storage tank in La Verne, California, on Aug. 29, as reported by KABC. Officials say the animals were probably seeking water when they squeezed through a 1-foot opening in the concrete structure, only to get trapped inside for at least 12 hours. Three nearby residents found the animals after hearing whimpering sounds during a morning run. “We climbed up top (of the tank), and there’s a small hole and right away we see a bear staring at us, kind of holding on to the walls because it was full of water,” said Jamie Kirk, one of the runners. State wildlife officials drained water from the tank, then city and county firefighters cut a larger hole in the structure and lowered a ladder for the bears to climb. “They were exhausted, so it took a few

And I learned all of this because their truck had a wrapper around the entire vehicle telling about Mauzy, the services they provide, and how to contact them. As you may know, these wrappers can cover literally every square inch of a vehicle’s visible space, including the windows. The driver can see out, but all you see from the outside is the wrapper and its message. So anyone in these vehicles is driving a mobile billboard, and someone like me needing their ser-

Organizations are especially good candidates for vehicle wraps when they: Drive frequently in a defined service area; Serve consumers or small businesses locally; and Can communicate what they do in just a few seconds. Making this the perfect marketing tool for plumbing, home repairs, mobile services, pest control, retailers, restaurants and a host

Discretion-based businesses (doctors, therapists), luxury products, online firms, and those who do little driving are probably better advised to stick to social media, print, networking and traditional forms of marketing.

For the few dollars needed to wrap your vehicle, either fully or in part, it may be a worthwhile investment.

Hall of Shame

Disappearing Island

A floating mass of trees in the Williston Reservoir in British Columbia has sparked speculation of a disappearing island. The mass — estimated to be almost as large as two American football fields — was first spotted by satellite imagery in July, then seemed to disappear. On Sept. 1, CBC reported that according to imagery from Aug. 15, the mass had reappeared and was resting along shore near where the Ospika River flows into the reservoir. Electric utility company B.C. Hydro has been keeping tabs on the mass and says the floating trees are intact and not causing any trouble. “We will monitor this just to see what happens, whether it breaks apart and if we then have a debris field instead of one big chunk, that may cause us to take some other action,” spokesperson Bob Gammer said. [CBC, 9/1/26]

Henry Dudley, 27, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, was arrested on a charge of indecent exposure. His alleged crime? Defecation. News on 6 reported on Aug. 28 that Dudley is accused of a yearlong defecation spree that targeted a string of businesses, including Danner Veterinary Hospital. Owner Dr. Dan Danner says that not only did the man use the hospital’s outdoor bins — intended for animal waste — as toilets, but he would also smear his own waste on dumpsters and door handles, leaving hospital staff to clean up the mess. “It would come in runs. Once or twice a month, and then nothing for a couple of months. And then he’d be back,” Danner said. Surveillance cameras in the area helped detectives from the Special Victims Unit identify Dudley, who is currently booked in the county jail while the investigation continues. [News on 6, 8/28/26]

Longtime News of the Weird readers may recognize the name of Calese Carron Crowder, who was arrested on Aug. 28 in Glendale, California, once again, for butt sniffing — just as he was when we reported his arrests in August 2023 and August 2025. ABC 7 reported that surveillance video showed a discount store employee stocking an aisle, with Crowder kneeling on the floor behind her, sniffing her rear. Store manager Jimmy Koh said this was the third incident he has experienced with Crowder, who was “crouching down like he normally would, and he’ll just look around and try to take the chance to sniff, like, any woman’s butt.” As police were responding to the discount store call, another one came in from a nearby Marshall’s. Video footage allowed officers to identify and arrest the serial seat-sniffer. Crowder is being held without bail while he awaits a court hearing. [ABC 7, 9/1/26]

Matlock was playing a video game when he got a notification that his DoorDash order had arrived. When he checked his Ring camera, he saw his delivery driver was in his birthday suit. In the buff. Naked as a jaybird. Matlock threw his food away and asked DoorDash for a refund, which they promptly issued. In a statement, a DoorDash spokesperson called the driver’s behavior “vulgar and completely unacceptable.” “What this consumer experienced was abhorrent, and we’ve reached out directly to offer our support,” they said. “Our team permanently removed [the driver’s] access to our platform. We do not tolerate sexual harassment or misconduct of any kind, and we stand ready to assist law enforcement with any investigation.” [FOX 26, 8/27/26]

San Marcos protects senior mobile home parks By Jim Trageser

The City Council voted Tuesday night to replace a temporary urgency ordinance adopted in 2024 with a permanent zoning change intended to protect senior mobile home parks. The zoning overlay — now outlined in Section 20.270 of the city’s Municipal Code — covers seven mobile home parks in the city that are designated as senior housing and are not owned by residents. San Marcos has 16 mobile home parks, according to a staff report. The affected parks are El Dorado, Lakeview Estates, Palomar Estates East, Palomar Estates West, Rancho Vallecitos, San Marcos

Mobile Estates and Lakeview Estates. Under the new zoning, the parks must ensure that at least 80% of their spaces include at least one resident

age 55 or older. The staff report explaining the proposed ordinance noted that the average rent for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment

in San Marcos is just under $3,000 a month. In addition, the median annual income for seniors in San Marcos is about $55,000, compared with a citywide median of roughly $81,000. While the staff report cited ongoing litigation elsewhere in California over local governments’ ability to protect senior housing designations in mobile home parks, it also noted that the state Legislature recently passed SB 2596. If signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom — or allowed to take effect without his signature — the legislation would permit cities to conduct senior residency surveys if mobile home park operators refuse to do so. This

would close a loophole used by some park owners who decline to ensure the 80% senior residency threshold is met and then argue that their properties can no longer be considered designated senior housing under federal and state law. Councilmember Ed Musgrove said, “Ed Musgrove: This is an excellent adjustment to our ordinance.” Vice Mayor Mike Sannella added, “We’ve been working on this for so long — all the moratoriums, the workshops, the one-on-one meetings. Tonight is a really good night for our seniors and our community.” The measure passed unanimously.

Holiday Parade

The council also discussed the future of the San Marcos Holiday Parade. Earlier this year, the parade’s longtime organizer, the Kiwanis Club of Lake San Marcos, informed city staff that the club could no longer bear the parade’s rising costs and would have to bow out. The Coast News previously reported on the parade’s uncertain future. Council members Musgrove and Danielle LeBlang requested that the matter be placed on the agenda for discussion. Introducing the item Tuesday, Musgrove said, “(The parade) doesn’t necessarily fall on us … but there is a community interest in it.”

LeBlang said, “The estimate for the city to put on the parade for this year is $50,000 to $70,000. That’s not a small chunk of change. The money has to come from somewhere. There’s also staff time that’s not even factored into that.” Responding to a question from LeBlang, staff presented a slideshow indicating that other nearby cities rely on nonprofit community groups to organize and stage their parades, except Encinitas, where the city runs the parade with help from community groups. The city approached other community groups after the Kiwanis notified officials that it could no longer run the parade. Several groups were willing to assist, but none wanted to replace the Kiwanis as the primary organizer. LeBlang noted that the first week of December, when the parade has traditionally been held to avoid conflicts with other nearby parades, is a busy time for city staff because of the Santa Claus breakfast, the City Hall tree-lighting ceremony and the holiday village. City Manager Michelle Bender said she did not believe existing staff could successfully manage all of those events. She also noted that no money is currently budgeted for a parade this year and that funding would have to be diverted from another area, such as road maintenance or public safety. expensive good time you can legally have while indulging in fine coffee, juices or smoothies.

Encinitas takes steps to improve fire readiness Harmony Fire in 1996 underscores wildfire risks By Cameron Adams

ENCINITAS — Nearly 30 years after the Harmony Grove Fire largely spared Olivenhain — destroying three homes before shifting Santa Ana winds pushed the blaze toward La Costa — the Fire Safe Council of Encinitas is seeking to strengthen the city’s wildfire preparedness, beginning with a community workshop Sept. 10. The local wildfire preparedness group was established as part of the Encinitas Public Health and Safety Commission’s work plan. Commission Chair Steve Cesnauskas, a retired firefighter, told The Coast News that the effort follows direction from the City Council to improve fire preparedness throughout Encinitas. “It’s really a big introduction,” Cesnauskas said. “It’s a fact-finding thing to see where we take the next workshop, and what people’s needs and wants are.” Cesnauskas said the council has identified two primary areas of concern: evacuation routes and residents losing their insurance coverage because of increased wildfire risk. “If we can teach you through this workshop of,

FLAMES ROLL across the hills during the wind-driven Harmony Grove Fire in October 1996.

you know, how to harden your home and what the possible evacuation system will look like, how to have a to go bag, how to be prepared, … that’s what this workshop is about,” Cesnauskas said. “And the only way this would really be successful is with community participation.” The inaugural citywide Fire Safe Council workshop is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Encinitas Senior Center. The council hopes to gain community support

from throughout the city. Cal Fire has classified areas in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Leucadia and Olivenhain as being at high risk for wildfire. Cesnauskas said a long-term goal is for Encinitas to qualify as a Firewise Community, which could make the city eligible for federal grants supporting a range of programs and provide greater leverage in negotiations with insurance companies. “It’s a big deal,” he said. Encinitas has experi-

enced firsthand the dangers of wildfire. On Oct. 21, 1996, the wind-driven Harmony Grove Fire began near Harmony Grove and Questhaven roads, and raced through Elfin Forest toward Olivenhain and La Costa. The three-day blaze burned about 8,600 acres, destroyed nearly 100 homes and killed one person, according to media reports. The San Diego Union-Tribune’s Oct. 22, 1996, front page documents the wind-driven Harmony Grove Fire as it swept

through North County, destroying homes and threatening communities including Encinitas. Courtesy image Three homes were destroyed in Olivenhain before shifting winds pushed the fire toward La Costa. The fire, fueled by Santa Ana winds, caused an estimated $52 million in damage. The fire’s cause was never determined, although authorities classified it as suspicious. Cesnauskas added that the recent Pacific Palisades

fires helped many people understand the urgency of emergency preparedness. “I remember the mayor telling me directly, ‘I need you to vet this, build this and get this up and running because I don’t want to be in front of the camera explaining why,’” Cesnauskas said. “We’re trying to be proactive and be ahead of what’s going on.” North County is home to several Fire Safe councils, including groups serving Del Mar, Escondido, San Elijo Hills, Fallbrook, Olivenhain and Palomar Mountain. More than 50 councils operate across San Diego County — the most of any region in the nation, according to the San Diego Regional Fire Foundation. In June, the foundation awarded $276,000 in Project SAFE grants to 30 local councils. The funding supports projects such as vegetation removal, community chipping events, defensible-space improvements, reflective address signs and programs that help residents harden their homes against wildfire. Some councils also help neighborhoods pursue Firewise USA recognition, which may strengthen grant applications and help residents qualify for certain insurance discounts. “For me, this is my opportunity to make a difference in my community and for my family,” Cesnauskas said.

Eat&Drink

At VAGA in Encinitas, specials galore for locals lick the plate david boylan

efore I get into the meat of this story, I must say that as a sunset chaser, I don’t think there is a better coastal restaurant for glorious sunsets and general views as VAGA at the Alila Marea Beach Resort. And if you’re a lover of trains as I am, you will have perfect views of those as well, both north and southbound. Now back to our regularly scheduled feature. There are certain restaurants around North County that locals tend to mentally categorize as “special occasion” places. You know the drill — anniversary, birthday, visiting relatives you want to impress, etc. VAGA Restaurant & Bar at Alila Marea, perched high above the ocean at the north end of Encinitas, has probably fallen into that category for a lot of locals. And that makes sense. Walking into Alila Marea feels like you’ve briefly left North County and landed at some stylish coastal resort several time zones away. Then you get upstairs to VAGA, catch those sweeping ocean views toward Ponto and suddenly remember that you’re still right here in Encinitas. What VAGA appears to be saying these days is: We love the tourists, but locals, this place is yours too. And they back up that message with a full week of events and specials designed to make VAGA less of a once-a-year destination and more of a place you can pop into after work, meet friends for a drink, listen to music, bring the dog or make a Sunday afternoon out of it. That starts with Martini Monday, which may be my favorite concept simply because Mondays generally need all the help they can get. From 5 to 7 p.m., VAGA pairs its burger with a signature martini for $25, with choices ranging from a Dirty Martini and Espresso Martini to its Vagatini. Parmesan truffle frites and bone marrow are available as add-ons. It’s served at the bar, no reservation required, which is exactly the kind of low-commitment scenario that can turn a resort restaurant into a local hangout. Tuesday brings Trivia Night, covering pop culture, entertainment, current events and whatever other random information has been occupying valuable real estate in your brain. The current promotion includes $35 endless margaritas and 50% off light bites. It’s open to hotel guests and the local community. I will

be popping into this one on occasion. Then comes Tunes on the Tide on Wednesdays at The Perch at VAGA Bar. This one feels particularly well suited for Encinitas. Live music, cocktails, an ocean sunset and no need to make an elaborate evening out of it. Current hours are 5 to 8 p.m., and community locals receive 15% preferred pricing. That last part caught my attention because there are few phrases more attractive to a longtime Encinitas resident than “locals pricing.” Thursday is Yappy Hour, because if there is one thing we know about coastal North County, it’s that leaving your dog at home while you go out for a cocktail is simply unacceptable behavior. Bring the pooch to The Perch and humans can en-

joy $12 house margaritas while the canine contingent gets $10 puppy patties. Add the ocean breeze and sunset and you have what might be the most Encinitas happy hour imaginable. The local outreach continues with the resort’s Locals After Dark on Friday and Spritz into Sunset on Sunday, two more experiences aimed at giving nearby residents reasons to come through the doors without needing a room key. VAGA has always had one of the more spectacular restaurant settings in North County. The challenge with restaurants attached to luxury hotels is convincing people who live five or 10 minutes away that they belong there just as much as someone who flew in for the weekend. A lineup like this helps break down that barrier.

There’s also the food, of course. VAGA describes its cooking as San Diego cuisine with “a touch of wanderlust,” built around shared plates, entrees, sides and desserts influenced by neighboring land and sea. The dining room offers floor-to-ceiling views while the patio puts you right into the coastal setting. The lounge and bar lean heavily into San Diego spirits, local microbrews, wine and seasonal cocktails. Weekend brunch is another obvious entry point for locals. VAGA currently serves weekend brunch

My advice is to hop on your bike if you can, or e-bike if you are of that persuasion. Or a ride-share which is still more convenient than driving. I’ve always thought the best hotel restaurants eventually figure out that the surrounding community is just as important as the people occupying the rooms upstairs. Tourists come and go. Locals are the ones who can turn Martini Monday into a habit, build a trivia team, show up for Wednesday music or become that person whose dog recognizes The Perch before the valet stand.

Vista charts growth, weighs Avo Playhouse repairs City targets tourism, discusses theater upgrades

The city issued a request for proposals in November seeking an outside group to operate the Avo on the city’s behalf but received no bids. One primary concern is safety, with staff reporting that ceiling tiles have fallen during events. Council members suggested modifying the previous request for proposals by removing deferred maintenance and improvement costs from the proposed contract to determine whether an organization might be interested in operating the Avo if the city invested in the improvements. Contreras also suggested staff look into grants that could pay for the repairs and upgrades.

By Jim Trageser

VISTA — The Vista City Council approved the proposed Vista Economic Development Strategy for 2026-28, with several council members expressing a goal of strengthening the city’s tourism base. “The VEDS provides a practical roadmap for quality economic growth in Vista,” read a slide included in the staff presentation during Tuesday evening’s meeting. The staff report indicated that Vista adopted its first economic plan in 2009, with the most recent update coming in 2021. Previous plans have focused on building up the Vista Business Park, downtown and the craft beer industry. Rachel Beld, CEO of the Vista Chamber of Commerce, addressed the council during public comment, describing the proposed VEDS as “an ambitious workplan over the next three years.” Councilmember Katie Melendez, who served on the committee that drafted the new VEDS, said the purpose of the strategy is to ensure “our folks here in Vista can have more opportunities.” “I really wanted to focus on economic opportunities for everyone in Vista

— making sure we have a strong tax base in the future to continue projects. One of the things we can focus on in the future is arts and culture. What does our local talent have to offer?” Councilmember Corinna Contreras pointed out that under the 2021 VEDS, Vista was one of only two cities in North County to achieve economic growth over the past few years. Deputy Mayor Dan O’Donnell noted that while the proposed VEDS emphasizes tourism, “We have two hotel projects that are not getting off the ground.” Both

projects have city approval but are being held up by economic factors. He said that as VEDS moves forward, he hoped those two projects would receive top priority before pursuing other hotel plans. Melendez then asked that the VEDS be modified so that the language under Goal 1, which focuses on strengthening manufacturing, would be broadened beyond the Vista Business Park. “We have a number of industrial zones throughout the city.” The council accepted

the amendment and unanimously approved the VEDS proposal.

Avo Playhouse

In other business, the council heard an update from staff about deferred maintenance at the historic Avo Playhouse. Staff reported that last year, the estimated cost of deferred maintenance and upgrades at the city-owned theater, which opened in 1948, was about $1.3 million. The estimate has since risen to $1.8 million because construction and material costs have increased.

ments to Luz Duran Park and heard options for the existing structure, a former sheriff’s station originally built as a residence. Because of its layout, the building has a maximum occupancy of 10 people. The first option would demolish the structure and restore the site to park space at an estimated cost of $161,000. The second option would involve limited rehabilitation to improve safety without increasing capacity, at a cost of $337,000. A major rehabilitation would remove interior walls, add two new ADA-compliant restrooms, replace

plumbing and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems and increase capacity to 49 people. That option would cost an estimated $1.171 million. Converting the garage into interior space as part of the major rehabilitation would provide additional usable space but increase the cost to $1.48 million. Building an entirely new structure on the site would cost more, but state grants are available for community centers. Contreras suggested that staff pursue a state grant of up to $10 million for a new structure that would provide a more usable community center. If the city does not receive the grant, she said, officials could revisit the other options.

Pickleball

The council also voted to immediately limit pickleball hours at Thibodo Park to 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily and add new security measures to the fencing to prevent players from bypassing the existing timed locks. Neighbors have complained to staff and council members about pickleball players entering the courts as early as 7 a.m. They said the sound of paddles and players yelling has been disruptive. The Thibodo Park courts will revert to tennis-only use once the new pickleball courts at Breeze Hill Park are completed.

Replica San Salvador: Step aboard and back in time hit the road e’louise ondash

he sight of the 16th-century galleon San Salvador slicing through the waters of San Diego Bay and beyond must look magnificent, but we can’t see it because we’re on it. No complaints. My friends and I are privileged to be aboard this masterful replica of the ship that carried explorer Juan Cabrillo and his crew into the bay in 1542. It was built and is maintained and operated by the Maritime Museum of San Diego and its dozens of volunteers. Several onboard today teach us about the age of exploration and life aboard ships in the 16th century. “When crossing the Atlantic or Pacific, you couldn’t reprovision,” says Jim Cassidy, a marine archeologist, an 18-year museum volunteer and Escondido resident. “Plus you had the regular dangers, like scurvy, an unfortunate fact of life and a killer. Think loose teeth, bleeding gums, rashes, brittle bones and fractures, gangrene and death. “People didn’t bathe, either, so lice were epidemic.” That caused typhoid

A REPLICA of the San Salvador, the ship that brought explorer Juan Cabrillo into San Diego Bay in 1542, sails off the coast of Catalina Island. The galleon, one of 10 vessels in the collection of the Maritime Museum of San Diego, was built by dozens of volunteers over five years. Current-day passengers can enjoy four-hour cruises that include docent presentations. Photo by Alex Saikowski

fever, and mosquitos in the tropics caused malaria. Bottom line: The lifespan in the 1500s was the mid-40s. Navigators also suffered blindness from using a tool called an astrolabe that required looking into the sun. And if you needed expert medical care? “There was the ship’s barber who was also the doctor,” Cassidy says, “and blood-letting was common.” One more thing: Sail-

ors had to work among the smells of animals — a source of food for the crew — and corpses of those whose religion prevented burial at sea. The San Salvador would have had 100 people aboard — twice as many as today — because the death rate for long voyages was 50% or greater. “This worked out well for businessmen who financed these trips because sailors weren’t paid until the

end of the voyage,” Cassidy adds. Considering all this, my moderate seasickness doesn’t seem so bad. I move to the railing to catch a breeze and enjoy the expansive views of the San Diego skyline, Coronado Bridge and Point Loma’s lighthouses and sandstone cliffs. When we hit a swell, 40 passengers scramble for whatever is stationary. This

gives us a little sense of adventure during the fourhour cruise. Building this replica of the San Salvador, like constructing the original, required a dream, determination, high risk and seemingly insurmountable obstacles. “The Port of San Diego was going to build the replica but then decided it was too big of a project,” says Ray Ashley, a San Diego resident whose multiple degrees and extensive sailing experience earned him 30 years as the museum’s president and CEO. “During my job interview in 1995, they asked me if I could build the San Salvador and I said, ‘Oh, sure,’ because it was a job interview.” Asked what he was thinking, Ashley says, “I ask myself that every day.” Even after extensive research, there were no architectural plans for the San Salvador. “All we knew was the carrying capacity — 299 tons,” Ashley says. Construction began in 2011 with mostly volunteers. One major setback occurred when the rare white oak needed for the hull was ruined with the application of an epoxy. “It was incredibly stressful to go through that,” Ashley says. “We had used half of the world’s supply of white oak. Midway through the project, we had to begin

again. Everything was riding on getting the ship going again. We couldn’t have done it without all the community support.” The finished product has a 75-foot-long main deck, an 82-foot-high main mast, and is nearly 115 feet end-to-end, All of the rigging is handmade. In the end, the project cost about $7 million, but without donated materials and volunteer labor, the cost might have been $13 million. “It was amazing to get through the experience of building the ship,” Ashley says, “and amazing to sail the ship.” Our cruise also includes a history lesson on 16th century economics, exploration and trade from Encinitas resident and nine-year volunteer Ken Golden. He trains and coordinates the museum’s volunteer docents on both the San Salvador and the Californian. A replica of an 1847 revenue cutter that collected customs for the federal government, the 145‑foot topsail schooner was designed for speed and is the official tall ship of the State of California. “I’m able to combine the thrill of deep-water sailing, a fascination with history and love for teaching,” Golden says. “Many have told me they appreciate understanding the context under which these ships sailed, rather than just passing the afternoon on some old ship.”

“Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.” — Author Unknown

In loving memory of

Otto Henry Bandemer III

August 1931 - July 12, 2026

Otto Henry Bandemer III, our loving father, passed away peacefully on Sunday July 12,2026, during the early morning in his sleep at 94 years old. He was born in August of 1931 in Chicago. He was born a fraternal twin, with his twin sister Dorothy, passing away the following day. He was a cherished son of Otto and Dorothy

Bandemer and the oldest of their four children. He grew up in Chicago, enjoying raising rabbits and pigeons, his German Shepard; Greta, baseball, bicycling, tobogganing, ice and roller skating, weightlifting, kayaking, and traveling in his Model A Ford. He became a skilled butcher and earned his way through De Paul University and graduated with his Law degree. He found the love of his life Catherine, known as Kay, in 1954 at the Hub Roller Rink in Chicago. It was the beginning of a love story that would span more than seven decades. In March of 1955, after he graduated from Naval Officers Candidate School in Rhode Island, they got married and he began his dream of becoming a Jag Attorney in the U.S. Navy.

The Navy then sent them to Crane, Indiana where they spent a year before moving to Guam in 1956. They enjoyed the snorkeling, diving and sailing in the area. In 1958 they were stationed in Camp Penelton in Southern California and soon made Carlsbad their lifelong home. Otto and Kay were blessed with four children; Cindy, Bruce, Paul and Michael. He enjoyed taking the kids camping, especially to Woodchuck, Yosemite, to Boy Scouts and Indian Guides, motorcycling, competitions with his Netherland Dwarf rabbits, ﬂying his planes, gliders, and sailing. He was involved with many civic clubs such as the Rotary Club of Carlsbad, Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, taught at MiraCosta College,

served on its Board, and was also involved with the Boys and Girls Club. He enjoyed cruising the open seas visiting many countries, Mountain Man Rendezvous’, many yearly trips to Quartzite with family and friends, memories that became cherished traditions. He and Kay were also long-time members of the Honda Gold Wing club, sharing the open road and countless adventures with a close-knit community of riders who became lifelong friends. He was a proud and loving grandfather to eight grandchildren and four great grandchildren. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the love he gave and the family he built. Services are being planned for September. Please contact the family for details.

John Francis McGuire II passed away on August 25, 2026 while in hospice care in Hilo Hawaii. He is survived by his six sons; John, Mark, Timothy, Steven, Daniel and Brian. John was born in Illinois in 1942 and spent many years as a musician in North County. No Services are expected.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, 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 office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

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 the phone number shown below in bold, using the Reference number assigned to this case on SHOWN ABOVE. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Notice, advances thereunder,

with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid assessments secured by said Notice with interest thereon as provided in said Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Notice of Assessment and Claim of Lien.

Transportation Program for the Santa Fe Drive Corridor Improvements Project. “This is her second sleight of hand she’s used to usurp control of our own streets,” Ehlers said. Blakespear said the conditions are consistent with those imposed under the Active Transportation Program and disputed the city’s claim that it should be free to remove infrastructure built with state money. “(The council majority) thinks they have the ability to do anything they want,” Blakespear said. “But the state has the ability, as it does for matters of statewide concern, to keep our streets safe.” “The proposed removal of the protected bike lane along Santa Fe Drive was retribution against me, and it came at the expense of community safety,” Blakespear said. On Aug. 29, the city sent a letter asking the governor to line-item veto the Santa Fe Drive provision.

The city argued that no such restrictions were attached when it accepted the money, describing the new conditions as changing “the rules in the middle of the game.” “When the City accepted the appropriation and when the City entered into contracts with Caltrans for the project, there were no stipulations attached to accepting the funding,” the letter states. “The amendments ... three years after the appropriation ... put the City and our residents in an impossible position.” The city also contended that the provision amounts to retroactive and special legislation targeting a single municipal project. Budget trailer bills, which make changes tied to state spending, became more common after California voters approved Proposition 25 in 2010, allowing them to pass by a simple majority rather than a two-thirds vote. Critics argue that the process can be used to enact major policy changes late in a legislative session with limited public scruti-

In response, voters approved Proposition 54 in 2016, requiring bills and amendments to be publicly available online for at least 72 hours before a vote. For Ehlers, the late addition of the Santa Fe Drive restrictions exemplifies what makes the trailer bill process controversial: Policy can be inserted in the closing days of a legislative session, leaving local governments and the public little time to respond. “She is using devious methods to impose her past mistakes on her own electorate,” Ehlers said. “Bottom line.”

Redesign debate

The legislative battle is the latest chapter in the dispute over Santa Fe Drive. Planning for the corridor began in 2015 and continued through Blakespear’s tenure as mayor from 2016 to 2022. After winning her state Senate seat, Blakespear helped secure about $3.1 million in state funding for the project. Construction of the western phase began in January 2024 and finished in April 2025, about nine months behind schedule. Upon completion, the redesigned roadway quickly became controversial. Some residents and city officials raised concerns about congestion, emergency vehicle access, parking and conflicts among motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, prompting the city to terminate the eastern

phase contract. Staff evaluated the completed western phase through site visits, video monitoring and a survey of more than 1,000 people. The review found support for the bike lanes, sidewalks and midblock crossing but widespread dissatisfaction with backin parking, narrow travel lanes, traffic and emergency access.

We are the elected, and the buck stops with us.” Mayor Bruce Ehlers Encinitas City Council

The U.S. Postal Service even suspended delivery to 24 homes along Santa Fe Drive after determining the reconfigured roadway was unsafe for carriers. In November 2025, the City Council voted 4-1 to remove the south-side barrier-protected bike lane, the central point of contention in the redesign, while also replacing back-in parking with parallel spaces and widening vehicle lanes from 10 to 11 feet. The reconstruction is expected to cost more than $3 million. The council voted 4-1 again in June to continue designing the changes after city engineers presented the project’s 50% design plans. Under the current redesign concept, the city would retain the separated westbound bicycle path on the north side of Santa Fe Drive while adding buffered bicycle lanes. Ehlers said the redesign addresses several safety problems in the current configuration, including what he described as seven locations at risk of righthook collisions, in which motorists turning across the south-side bikeway

Sept. 11, 2026 could collide with cyclists. In November 2020, Jennings Worley, a 62-yearold physician, was fatally struck in a right-hook collision while riding west in a designated bike lane on Leucadia Boulevard. The driver of a moving truck turned right across Worley’s path at Moonstone Court, fatally striking the cyclist. The mayor also said the narrow roadway makes it difficult for motorists to pull over for emergency vehicles traveling to and from nearby Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. “We believe there are serious flaws, many systemic and embedded in the design, in the south-side separated bike lane and back-in parking and very narrow lanes, so we need to get that fixed,” Ehlers said. Supporters of the existing configuration argue that eliminating the separated bicycle lane would make Santa Fe Drive more dangerous for cyclists. Judy Berlfein, chair of Encinitas BikeWalk and a longtime cycling safety advocate, acknowledged that improvements could still be made but disagreed with the council’s approach of removing the upgrades and starting over. “It’s not perfect. We still need to improve it, but we don’t need to remove it,” Berlfein said. “We need to finish the intersections and address conflicts with vehicles turning into driveways. We don’t have to rip everything out to do that.” Berlfein pushed back against the mayor’s concerns related to right-hook collisions along Santa Fe Drive. “A right-hook collision is a danger anywhere bicycle and vehicle lanes intersect,” she said. “It’s a real concern, but it isn’t unique to this project.” Berlfein also cited recent city speed-monitoring data showing that vehicle speeds have declined along Santa Fe Drive since the improvements were

installed. According to a city-prepared summary, the 85th-percentile speed — the speed at or below which 85% of motorists traveled — fell from 37 mph in 2023 to 29 mph in 2025 for eastbound traffic. Westbound downhill speeds declined from 41 mph to 37 mph. The City Council also reduced the speed limit along Santa Fe Drive from 35 mph to 30 mph between the two monitoring periods, likely helping contribute to lower speeds. “I ride on Santa Fe Drive more than I did before the improvements,” said Berlfein, who has lived near the road for years. “It’s a complicated street, and its width changes from block to block. The city faced a major challenge fitting everything in, and it was never going to make everyone happy, but I think it’s better than it was.” Blakespear said she would not oppose other elements of the city’s redesign, drawing the line at removal of the barrier-protected bike lane. “I would not interfere with their desire to make other changes to the road as long as the barrier-protected bike lanes remained,” Blakespear said. “But removing them and returning the roadway to a less safe condition after using state General Fund money that I requested is something I would fight.” Ehlers said he welcomes a public debate with Blakespear over safety along Santa Fe Drive but objects to using state legislation to settle a local dispute. He accused the state lawmaker of trying to circumvent the local process after failing to stop the redesign through SB 569. “Finally, she has admitted that SB 569 had nothing to do with anywhere else in the state but Encinitas,” Ehlers said. “This ex-mayor of Encinitas is trying to force her will on this current council. We are the elected, and the buck stops with us.”

Sheriff’s K-9 stabbed in face by burglary suspect By City News Service

ESCONDIDO — A San Diego County sheriff’s K-9 was recovering after he was stabbed in the face by a burglary suspect in Escondido. The 6-year-old Belgian Malinois named Nike was requested by the Escondido Police Department shortly before 12:30 a.m. Sept. 5 to help apprehend a suspect during a burglary in progress at a business in the 100 block of South Orange Street, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office. The suspect, identified

as 35-year-old Eric Rodriguez, was allegedly swinging a large stick, throwing objects and threatening police officers, sheriff’s officials said. Nike was deployed to help arrest Rodriguez, who allegedly stabbed the dog in the face several times before officers and deputies restrained him and took him into custody, officials said. Nike’s deputy handler rushed him to a veterinary specialty hospital in San Marcos, where he was treated for five facial lacerations and two puncture wounds.

condido’s youngest mayor, he was homeless and living with a severe drug addiction behind the 7-Eleven on Country Club Lane near Centre City Parkway. During his time as mayor, White has served on the homelessness subcommittee alongside Deputy Mayor Joe Garcia, monitoring the city’s progress in addressing homelessness and making recommendations to the rest of the City Council. White also championed the city’s encampment ordinance, which a council majority approved in 2024 shortly before the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Grants Pass, Oregon’s ban on public camping. The two candidates were asked about the ordinance’s role in maintaining safe access to city parks, sidewalks and other amenities for all residents, including those who are homeless. “The other side likes to say the city just wants to arrest all homeless people, but if that’s the case, we’re doing a terrible job,” White said. “What you need is the ability to tell someone you can’t be here.” White recalled “The Jungle,” a large homeless encampment that was cleared after remaining for years along Escondido Creek between Citracado Parkway and Harmony Grove Road. “When you look at the Jungle and how it was allowed to fester — the longer you let these things sit, the

higher likelihood you have of spreading hepatitis, or allowing things like violence or sexual violence to be perpetrated there.” Velazquez said he agreed with the ordinance but that it needs better enforcement and wraparound services to help homeless people get off the streets altogether rather than simply moving them along. “When you drive around, you’re still seeing plenty of tents and camping,” he said. “We could do a better job of cracking down — but on top of that, we have to remember we can’t just arrest away the problem. If we have someone camping at Grape Day Park, and we ask them to leave, it doesn’t mean that issue has now left.” The two candidates also shared their views on the current state of homelessness and how the city should address it.

city of Escondido is not doing that,” Velazquez said. White said that although he was not pleased with the overall state of homelessness in the city, he believes progress is coming, particularly after voters approved Measure I, a 1-cent sales tax to help address homelessness. Velazquez said the amount the city plans to spend will be “pennies” compared with what it could receive from state and federal governments to address homelessness. The next candidate forum will feature candidates for mayor and City Council at 5 p.m. on Oct. 1 at the California Center for the Arts, 340 N. Escondido Blvd.

BUILT ON SERVICE Ex-firefighters bring relationship-first approach to North County property management company

n any given morning in North County, someone is unlocking a beach bungalow in Cardiff, checking on a rental home in Carlsbad or coordinating repairs at a condominium in Encinitas. Most people never think about the person quietly making those things happen. Rich Brocchini and Baryic Hunter do. For them, every property represents something more than an address. It’s someone’s retirement plan. A family’s first investment. Years of hard work and financial sacrifice. It’s a responsibility they understand well. Recently voted Best of North County Gold for the second consecutive year, 33 Property Management has earned a reputation for bringing a service-first philosophy to North County Property Management. Whether providing Encinitas Property Management services or helping homeowners and investors throughout Carlsbad and surrounding communities, the company’s approach is rooted in responsive communication, transparency

and trust. Long before they were managing rental homes, Brocchini and Hunter spent their careers running toward emergencies. During 31 years in the fire service, they learned to stay calm when others couldn’t, communicate clearly under pressure and make decisions that protected lives and property. Those lessons never left. “Everybody matters,” Brocchini said. It’s a simple phrase, but it shapes every part of their business. Whether they’re talking with a homeowner, resident, contractor or firsttime investor, they believe every conversation deserves attention and respect. Their firefighting experience also gave them a perspective few property managers can claim. Over decades in the fire service, they developed an intimate understanding of residential construction, building systems, life safety systems, building codes and the warning signs that small maintenance issues can become expensive repairs. That knowledge helps

them recognize problems early, coordinate repairs proactively and protect the longterm value of the properties they manage. The company itself began with a leap of faith. After successful careers in real estate, Brocchini and Hunter found themselves wanting something more meaningful than simply helping clients buy and sell homes. “We wanted to build relationships,” Brocchini said. “We wanted to create a company centered on taking care of people.” So, in 2022, they started 33 Property Management. The first nine months tested that conviction. They had a business. They had a vision. They had no customers. Rather than chasing shortcuts, they kept refining their systems, networking throughout the community and trusting that exceptional service would eventually earn its reputation. It did. Today, Brocchini focuses on operations, marketing and community relationships while Hunter oversees the company’s administrative

33 PROPERTY Management founders Baryic Hunter and Rich Brocchini draw on decades of experience in the fire service to bring trust, accountability and a service-first approach to property management. The company has won Best of North County Gold for two straight years. Courtesy photo

systems and logistics. Their complementary strengths have helped build a company where each partner does what he does best. And some of the strongest evidence that their approach is working comes from the people they serve. One client came to 33 Property Management with a portfolio of five properties after working with another management company for nearly a decade. After her first year with 33 Property Management, she told Brocchini and Hunter they had communicated more effectively and provided a higher level of service than she had experienced during the previ-

ous 10 years. Then came feedback that meant just as much: Her tenants expressed their own gratitude for the way the company communicated, responded and treated them. That balance matters to Brocchini and Hunter. Successful property management, they believe, requires protecting the owner’s investment while making sure residents feel heard and respected. It is a philosophy captured in the company motto, “Your Property Is Our Priority.” Whether providing Carlsbad Property Management services, managing
