Judge nixes bid to toss HOA’s complaint By Jim Trageser
DEL MAR — A Vista Superior Court judge has denied a motion by the city of San Diego and Surf Sports LLC to dismiss a lawsuit over the use of the former Del Mar polo fields, allowing a dispute about the property’s decades-old land restrictions to proceed. Judge Victor Torres’ Sept. 9 decision did not address the merits of the lawsuit, leaving its central claims unresolved. The Fairbanks Polo Club Homeowners Association filed a lawsuit in April 2023, alleging that the city has allowed Surf Sports, or Surf Cup Sports, to hold large soccer tournaments and other events at the fields beyond what a 1983 grant deed permits. Developer Watts Industries/ San Diego, now Ocean Industries, transferred the property to the city in 1983 under a grant deed that required it to remain open space and

Carlsbad mother killed in suspected DUI hit-run By Jordan P. Ingram
CARLSBAD — Authorities have identified the pedestrian killed in a suspected DUI hit-and-run on Carlsbad Boulevard as 45-year-old Carlsbad resident Vanessa Wheyland. Wheyland was crossing Carlsbad Boulevard and Redwood Avenue with her husband and 12-year-old son when she was struck by a vehicle around 7:45 p.m. on Sept. 15, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office. She was taken to Sharp Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside, where she was pronounced dead at 8 p.m. The medical examiner determined that Wheyland died from multiple bluntforce injuries and ruled her death an accident. Carlsbad police arrested Fernando Saldana, 26, of Escondido, after investigators used evidence from the scene, witness interviews, license plate readers and air support to locate him. At his Sept. 18 arraignment, Saldana pleaded not guilty to murder, gross vehicular manslaughter, DUI causing injury or death, and leaving the scene of a collision resulting in injury or death. Prosecutors also said Saldana was driving with a suspended license, according to news reports. A judge denied bail. According to prosecutors, Saldana allegedly abandoned his damaged vehicle on Oak Avenue and fled the scene before calling 911 around 10:22 p.m. and admitting that he was the driver. Saldana had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.084 when he was tested several hours after the collision, prosecutors said. He had completed probation for a 2023 misdemeanor DUI conviction two months earlier and had received a Watson advisement — a formal warning that causing a death while impaired in the future could lead to a murder charge. Police booked Saldana at the Vista Detention Facility. The investigation remains ongoing. Wheyland was a mother of three, and her fami-

ly and friends packed the courtroom for Saldana’s arraignment, many wearing white ribbons in her honor. A memorial near the Carlsbad State Beach jetty has grown in the days after her death, while an online fundraiser for her family had raised more than $160,000 as of Sept. 18, according to news reports. “She is someone that won’t be duplicated ever,” Wheyland’s friend Bridgett Ashby-Aldrich told CBS 8. “We lost a very special person.”
Carlsbad renews Axon body-worn camera contract
The Carlsbad City Council unanimously approved a five-year, $1.85 million agreement with Axon Enterprise Inc. to continue providing police body-worn cameras, evidence storage and related services. The agreement, approved Sept. 15 as part of the consent calendar, also adds software that will connect video sources and detection feeds through the Police Department’s Real Time Crime Center, according to a city staff report. Carlsbad first contracted with Axon for bodyworn cameras in 2016 and
renewed the agreement in 2021. The latest renewal establishes a third five-year term, with the previous contract set to expire this month. The council approved the renewal as an amendment to a broader agreement with Axon, approved in February, for a police case records management system. The amendment allows the city to use the terms and conditions negotiated under that agreement. The 10-year records management agreement totals nearly $2.96 million, including about $1.52 million for first-year implementation. Adding the cameras and related services brings the combined cost to about $4.81 million, according to the report. The city stated in its report that body-worn cameras “have been proven to assist in the collection of evidence, enhance public trust and improve officer and community safety.” “Body worn cameras also allow for evaluation of many performance or misconduct complaints by the public,” the report continued. “Video footage may also be shared to enhance public understanding and awareness of police incidents and activities.” Carlsbad police have released body-worn camera
footage to provide accounts of several high-profile incidents in recent years, including a March 2024 skateboard attack on Officer Michael McKinney that left him with a skull fracture and brain bleed. The attacker, Kyle McCord, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the assault in March 2025. The department also released footage of a September 2023 police shooting that wounded a 16-year-old boy who police said pointed a gun at an officer, and a June 2020 arrest in which officers used a Taser on Marcel Cox-Harshaw, an unarmed Black man. The latter release followed public attention over a bystander’s cellphone video, though both officers’ body cameras fell off during the encounter, leaving about two minutes of audio without a clear view of the arrest. Axon stores captured video through its cloudbased evidence.com system. The report says standardized equipment across the region allows Carlsbad police to share evidence with other agencies in the county. The agreement also provides replacement bodyworn cameras every 2½ years at no additional cost. Beyond the cameras, the renewal covers interview room recording technology, tools to redact protected audio and video before public release, drone video storage and digital evidence collection. It also includes a feature that automatically links body camera recordings to incidents logged in the department’s computer-aided dispatch system. Additional user licenses will support recently added staff in the department’s Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving unit. The only new technology included in the amendment is the Fusus Real Time Crime Center platform, which combines video sources and detection feeds in a single map-based interface to help police coordinate responses, according to the report. Staff de-
scribed the platform as part of the department’s longterm strategy for addressing crime. The city is purchasing the equipment and services through an existing competitively bid Sourcewell contract. The city will fund annual costs of approximately $370,600. — Cameron Adams
Large tree falls over parked cars near apartments
A large tree fell on private property and landed near several vehicles on Sept. 16 near the Santa Fe Ranch Apartments in Carlsbad, prompting a response from police and firefighters. Dispatchers received the call reporting a fallen tree just after 6 p.m. on
Sept. 16 at Calle del Sur and Calle Caracas, according to Carlsbad Fire Department spokesperson Holly Gonzales. One fire engine responded, and firefighters checked for injuries and determined no one was inside the vehicles. Video recorded the following morning shows a splintered trunk and heavy branches sprawled across a parking area near community mailboxes, with branches covering portions of parked vehicles. Responders turned the incident over to the homeowners association to handle the fallen tree, Gonzales said. The cause of the collapse and the extent of any property damage were unknown. No injuries were reported. — Jordan P. Ingram

Encinitas trades Vista beds for Rescue Mission City planning Buena Creek exit by year’s end By Cameron Adams
ENCINITAS — The city plans to end its shelter partnership with Vista and secure up to 12 dedicated beds through the San Diego Rescue Mission, a shift local officials say would cut costs while giving people experiencing homelessness access to a broader range of services. In a unanimous vote Sept. 16, the City Council authorized an extension of its agreement with Vista to continue services at the Buena Creek Navigation Center through Dec. 31 and directed staff to pursue dedicated beds at the Rescue Mission’s South County Lighthouse in National City. The city would also continue using the county’s regional shelter network. Staff members are expected to return Oct. 14 with an amendment to the city’s existing Rescue Mission contract to formalize the arrangement. Mayor Bruce Ehlers said that even if the costs were equivalent, “I’d go with San Diego Rescue Mission.” “But the cost is lower, too, so it’s even better,” Ehlers said. “Buena Creek Navigation Center served its purpose, I think we’re mov-

ing up with this.” The proposed Rescue Mission beds would cost $87 per occupied bed per night, with an annual maximum of $381,060 if all 12 beds were occupied every night. Encinitas would retain exclusive access to the beds but would not pay for nights they remained empty, according to a staff report. Continuing the Buena Creek partnership would cost Encinitas an estimated $715,000 annually, up from $488,758 in fiscal year 2025-26. The projected increase would raise the average nightly cost per bed from $112 to $163. The projected Buena Creek expenses include $132,000 for the lease, $575,000 for shelter operator Retread Inc. and $8,000
for utilities. According to the report, the higher operating costs would support an additional housing navigator, housing assistance, a vehicle, insurance, move-in support and other program improvements. Buena Creek will remain open after the Vista City Council voted unanimously Aug. 25 to fund the shelter through Dec. 31, 2027, with plans to assume responsibility for all 48 beds, including the 12 currently reserved for Encinitas. City Attorney Ajit Thind determined the city could retain its beds under the existing contracts if the council approved funding, but staff said continued shared operations would require coordination with Vista.
The city approved the original partnership in September 2023, agreeing to pay one-quarter of the shelter’s costs in exchange for exclusive use of one-quarter of its beds. Retread Inc. was selected as the operator in January 2024, and the shelter opened March 4, 2024. The adults-only, low-barrier shelter provides interim housing and services to help residents move into permanent housing. According to the report, it served 158 distinct Encinitas clients through June 2026, with 50 moving into permanent housing and 20 into temporary housing. Another 76 either returned to homelessness or could not be interviewed about their destinations. The Rescue Mission already provides Encinitas with two full-time outreach specialists and a full-time housing navigator under an agreement approved in November 2025. Adding dedicated shelter beds would expand that partnership. In written comments submitted before the meeting, Encinitas attorney and progressive political activist Bob Ayers urged the city to prioritize North County placements and use the Rescue Mission’s outreach and case management services to help people find housing closer to home. “City policy should align with proven Functional Zero frameworks (like
Redondo Beach’s) by demanding shelter solutions that keep North County residents local, rather than exporting them 30 miles away,” Ayers wrote. Paul Armstrong, the Rescue Mission’s chief of staff, told the council that services are tailored to individual needs and that the shelter’s 30-day stays can be extended depending on the circumstances. “We do look for any shelter placement that’s going to be right for that individual,” Armstrong said. “What we say is it’s a heart issue and so we address the issues of the heart and so yeah, we’re building a relationship with the person that we’re working with and we’re helping them figure out a path forward.” Councilmember Joy Lyndes said she appreciated that individualized approach and the organization’s status as a certified CalAIM provider. According to the report, that certification allows the Rescue Mission to connect eligible clients with medical care, behavioral health services, care management and housing support through the state’s Medi-Cal initiative, at no additional cost to the city. Lyndes also said placing people in National City could separate them from their support networks. The staff report places South County Lighthouse about
30 miles from Encinitas City Hall, compared with about 20 miles for Buena Creek. Armstrong said the Rescue Mission is “actively looking” for a North County building to provide shelter closer to Encinitas. “We will have a North County lighthouse,” he said. According to the report, Encinitas’ dedicated beds would transfer to the North County shelter once it opens. Ehlers offered to write a letter of support if needed to help secure a closer facility. “If there’s something we can do to help you, let us know,” he said. Deputy Mayor Jim O’Hara also voiced support for the Rescue Mission and its reported outcomes. Between Nov. 24, 2025, and June 30, 2026, the organization recorded 101 placements through its Encinitas services, including 15 in permanent housing and 86 in temporary or transitional settings. The report notes that those totals include repeat placements and lists three returns to homelessness. Those figures cover a shorter period than the Buena Creek totals and measure the Rescue Mission’s broader placement efforts rather than outcomes at a single shelter. “It’s clearly working TURN TO SHELTER ON 12

Judgment in Encinitas
T
he municipal election in Encinitas will soon be upon us. Ballots go out October 5. Voters will fill three of five council seats: mayor, the open District 3 seat, and District 4. Control of the council is at stake, and the campaign turns on one question: whose judgment do you trust? That matters because the biggest test may lie ahead. In 2027, the city begins planning for the housing cycle due in 2029, deciding how much and where Encinitas becomes more dense. The next council will face renewed pressure from Sacramento, housing advocates, and development interests. What’s remarkable about this campaign is how much the challengers have adopted the current council’s own issues and solutions — visible on Rimga Viskanta’s campaign website and again at last week’s League of Women Voters forum, where the candidates agreed far more than they disagreed. Mayor Bruce Ehlers is running for reelection, joined by incumbent Marco San Antonio in District 4 and Ed Sprague for the open District 3 seat. The 2024 election replaced a Democratic-led council with one having no party majority — one Democrat, one Republican appointee and three independents. The incumbents have a record to run on: cutting costs, improving public safety, progress on homelessness, infrastructure investment and resisting pressure for higher housing density. They did all that without the sales tax increase, Measure K, which they opposed, their opponents supported, and voters rejected. Of four North County cities, Encinitas was the only one to turn down a tax increase. This year’s challengers — Viskanta, Arielle Golden, and Brad Lefkowits — are partisan allies endorsed by the Democratic Party and by state Sen. Catherine Blakespear. In a town with a large Democratic registration edge, that helps — but it wasn’t enough in 2024, when Ehlers won 52 to 48
percent. With relatively little disagreement on current issues, the challengers have instead criticized the council’s “tone” and “temperament” — criticism aimed largely at Deputy Mayor Jim O’Hara of District 2, who isn’t on the ballot. That leaves character and judgment as the more critical issue: how have these candidates acted when confronted with difficult choices and competing interests? Ehlers’s opposition to overdevelopment isn’t campaign rhetoric. He was a principal author of Proposition A, the 2013 measure requiring voter approval before the city can enact major upzoning or density increases. It passed 52 to 48 percent despite being materially outspent by opponents, including the Chamber of Commerce. For more than a decade, voters have known where Ehlers stands on development and local control. Viskanta’s record is a different story, one I wrote about in this paper in 2023. Judgment shows in how officials spend other people’s money. At her first meeting as San Dieguito Union High School District board president in December 2022, Viskanta and two colleagues voted 3-2 to amend a teachers’ contract approved in 2021. The existing formula would have raised the district’s health-care contribution by 6.15 percent, roughly matching the rise in premiums. The amendment raised it nearly 20 percent, adding an extra $300,000 a year — with the district getting nothing in return. The union had previously accepted a smaller contribution in exchange for higher wages. It wanted another bite of the apple, and Viskanta’s majority obliged. When a minority trustee on the dais tried to lay out the numbers publicly,
Viskanta shut him down. In my view, this was a corrupt bargain that rewarded the teachers’ union for its support of Democratic school board candidates. I’ve written about this problem before, and my view is unchanged: it makes no sense to have union advocates sitting on both sides of the table when issues arise in which they have an interest. Similarly, as board president at Encinitas Union School District, Viskanta managed the 2020 controversy over reopening schools by forestalling a vote on the issue. Teachers opposed returning to the classroom while parents clamored for it. Those episodes matter because officials make decisions when organized interests are applying pressure. Housing will provide the biggest test. The developments we’re seeing now were launched before the current council took office. State law makes approval of housing on the 15 sites upzoned by the prior council largely a ministerial duty. The resulting traffic, parking, and affordability problems were substantially baked in. The question is what happens next. Developer money and independent spending have long shaped Encinitas politics. Blakespear, whose tenure as mayor was strongly associated with increased housing density and accommodation of state housing mandates, backed the challenger slate early. Her support, coupled with Viskanta’s record, gives voters something to consider as they decide how these candidates might respond to the next round of pressure. By 2027, that won’t be theoretical. Encinitas will again be deciding how much density to plan, where to put it, and how to defend local control. Campaign positions can converge. “Local control” can appear on everyone’s website. Past judgment is harder to rewrite. Garvin Walsh is a resident of Cardiff-by-the-Sea. He is an elected member of the San Diego County Republican Central Committee.
tarting in the seventies, I was a hardcore defender of Encinitas. I was a bastion of anti-development. But I eventually realized there was a political rub. You see, as a card-carrying left-winger, I don’t believe in excluding people based on economic standing. Somehow I hadn’t realized that also applies to housing. Even in my beloved Encinitas. I realized it may have been wrong to protect this place from other people who might want to live here. I finally understood that NIMBYism is inherently right-wing. That was the rub. Local politics is supposedly “nonpartisan.” But every decision we make is political. When you eat a McDonald’s burger or buy an electric car, you’ve made a political decision. Let’s stop pretending local politics is any different. Bruce Ehlers’s position and the current council align with Republican Party values. Bruce was even endorsed by the San Diego County Gun Owners political action committee, or PAC. So, those of us who consider ourselves “liberal” but support the current rightwing council are fooling ourselves. Bruce Ehlers is a nice guy, certainly less extreme than the other council bros. (Kudos to Joy for persevering!) But his anti-housing rhetoric has not been honest. Yes, it got him elected, and it’s easy to understand why. New housing is going up all over the place. I don’t like it either. So, it’s been easy for Bruce to say, “I’m going to put a stop to that and protect Encinitas from development.” But that’s a rhetorical trick, the kind that inflames folks who are upset

ublic education is the bedrock of our community, but our focus has drifted. As a candidate for the Oceanside Unified School District Board of Education in Area 1, I regularly hear the same message from parents, neighbors and school staff: Move past the political noise and return to the basics of teaching. That means prioritizing teacher-led instruction in reading, writing and mathematics while reducing digital distractions. By moving screens away from the center of the classroom and refocusing on academics, we can prepare students for the workforce, trade schools, higher education or the military. My commitment to this district is personal. I am a retired Navy lieutenant commander with master’s degrees in global leadership and postsecond-
about the changes happening around them. The truth is that Bruce and the current right-wing council have done little to stop the dreaded development. That’s because little can be done. It’s largely a romantic endeavor, a Don Quixote sort of thing. Truth is, there’s more housing being built because people want to live in California, because there’s a homelessness problem, because there’s a housing shortage. California has recognized this problem. And it’s hard to fight the state. Encinitas has been sued five times and paid a million dollars trying. The council also knows that the state can impose a “builders remedy” if we fail to meet their numbers. (That’s when developers can act without limits on their building designs.) So far, it’s all talk. On the other hand, Rimga Viskanta, Brad Lefkowitz, and Arielle Golden are being honest about housing. Their words may not have the same romantic gleam, but they’re the truth. Rimga is such a “high-road” character; she may think what I’m saying here is too divisive. But I stand by my conclusion: there’s no such thing as a NIMBY, anti-California voter who is also a progressive. If you’re OK with renaming lakes, distorting the truth, and disenfranchising American voters, then I understand why you’d be a NIMBY. But if you’re generally progressive, don’t be fooled: the current Encinitas City Council’s values are those of the Republican Party. If your values lean more leftward, vote for Rimga, Brad, and Arielle. Darius Degher is a musician and poet. He lives in Encinitas. ary education.

SDG&E Powerlink plan draws strong opposition By Jim Trageser
SAN MARCOS — More than 75 people spoke in person or by phone last week to urge the California Public Utilities Commission to reject San Diego Gas & Electric’s proposed Golden Pacific Powerlink, a 145-mile, 500-kilovolt transmission line, as currently designed. For the roughly 70 area residents who spoke in person Sept. 17, dozens more crowded the San Marcos City Council chambers to support them for the commission’s public hearing. Dozens of project opponents were decked out in a variety of bright yellow T-shirts proclaiming “Save Fallbrook,” “Save Temecula,” “Save Palomar Mountain” and “Save Warner Springs.” Speakers included elected officials, university professors, chamber of commerce and planning group representatives, ranchers, firefighters, small-business owners, retirees and parents raising families. Many came from communities along the proposed Powerline route, including Warner Springs, Temecula, Palomar Mountain, Oak Grove, Lake Henshaw and Borrego Springs. Several brought young children. Roughly 10% of the speakers on this issue were there to back SDG&E’s proposal. Other regulatory items before the PUC also drew public feedback, although the Powerlink received far more comments.

Supporters of the proposed transmission project included representatives of electrical workers unions, the San Diego Building Industry Association, and the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce. The Golden Pacific Powerlink is a proposed 500-kilovolt electric transmission line that would run 145 miles from the existing Imperial Valley Substation near El Centro northwest to a proposed new substation east of San Clemente, just north of Camp Pendleton. The transmission line would bring enough electri-
cal power to supply between 1 million and 1.5 million homes. While supporters spoke of the economic impact of providing well-paying construction and electrician jobs, as well as meeting California’s growing demand for electricity, opponents’ comments focused on the negative impacts such a project could bring: • Elevated risk of fires from arcing lines • Danger of firefighting aircraft hitting the lines • Increased costs for fire insurance • Decreased availability
of fire insurance • Environmental damage from constructing 200-foot-tall towers • Lower property values due to increased fire risk and visual blight Those living in the proposed path also objected that the electricity carried by the proposed Powerlink would not serve their communities, but would instead be transported through their neighborhoods en route to Orange County. San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones spoke first. While she publicly opposes the proposed route, Jones
used her remarks simply to welcome everyone to San Marcos and encourage those in attendance to stay involved. County Supervisor Jim Desmond, whose District 5 includes much of the proposed route, reminded the five PUC members that the existing Sunrise Powerlink was intentionally routed around Anza-Borrego Desert State Park — while the new proposal cuts right through it. “The future is smaller, modular, atomic power plants, rather than power lines going everywhere,” Desmond told the commission. Temecula Mayor Jessica Alexander followed Desmond, urging commissioners to look beyond the proposed route’s technical details and consider the families whose homes and safety could be affected. “These are not lines on a map: These are families,” Alexander said. “Safety must not be compromised for cost or efficiency.” As each speaker finished, the audience greeted them with an enthusiastic ovation — a pattern that held throughout the threehour hearing, except for the muted applause for those speaking in support. Matt Rahn, a Cal State San Marcos faculty member who founded and leads the university’s Wildfire Science and Urban Interface degree program, said transmis-
sion lines can slow wildfire response by forcing aerial crews to navigate around lines hundreds of feet above the ground. “These are operational risks you should take into account,” Rahn told the commission. Ann Atkins, who owns a ranch in Fallbrook with her husband, Bob, said they lost everything in a previous fire and that adding another substantial fire risk would only drive up fire insurance costs. Bob Atkins added that previous fires in the area had been caused by arcing transmission lines. A rancher from Anza-Borrego said he had already received a letter from SDG&E letting him know the utility would be surveying his property, which he said was likely a precursor to seizing part of it for the proposed line. “How many eminent domains will happen with this project?” he asked the PUC. At one point, a speaker turned and asked the room how many supported the route. When he asked who opposed it, the room erupted in cheers. Temecula-area real estate agent Racheal Allen reminded the commission that for most families, their home is their single largest investment. Another Temecula resident warned that arcing transmission lines could

Grandview bluff failure forces trail closure By Samantha Nelson
ENCINITAS — Grandview Beach access will remain closed for the foreseeable future following a bluff collapse late last week. The bluff failure occurred just north of the staircase leading to the beach. No injuries were reported. Jessica Gilera, a spokesperson for the city of Encinitas, said the city learned of the bluff failure early Sept. 18 and took “immediate action to secure the area including
fencing around the beach entry point and signage.” The city is also concerned about the potential for additional bluff failures within 300 feet north and south of the staircase, prompting the closure. “Crews are actively working to address the situation,” the city’s closure notice states. California State Parks maintains the area north of the staircase where the bluff collapsed. “At this time, we do not
have an estimate for when we can safely reopen entry to the beach at Grandview and are directing beachgoers to avoid the area and access the beach at Beacons or Ponto Beaches,” Gilera said. Bluff failures have become more common in recent years, raising ongoing concerns about coastal erosion and public safety near the base of the bluffs. The previous major bluff collapse at Grandview occurred Aug. 2, 2019, when a roughly 30-foot section of
sandstone broke loose and fell onto a family gathered on the beach. The collapse killed Encinitas residents Julie Davis, 65, and her daughter, Anne Davis Clave, 35, along with Davis’ sister, Elizabeth Charles, 62, of San Francisco. The victims’ family later filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Encinitas, the state and two private entities, alleging that groundwater seepage, poor drainage and irrigation
practices, nearby development and other conditions had weakened the bluff. The city initially attributed the collapse to the natural erosion common along California beaches. The city has experienced other bluff failures in recent years. On May 2, 2022, a reactivated landslide at Beacon’s Beach sent soil toward the beach, created numerous cracks in the slope and damaged the switchback trail. No injuries or structural damage were reported.

limited it to “passive non-commercial recreational uses.” A later deed amendment limited certain events, including soccer tournaments, to 25 days a year. The homeowners contend that Surf Cup’s activities exceed those limits and bring excessive traffic and noise to the area. The city and Surf Cup dispute the allegations. The city leased the fields to a polo club beginning in 1986. Surf Cup later used the property under a sublease before signing its own lease with the city in 2016. Surf Cup intervened in the Fairbanks Polo Club HOA’s lawsuit as a defendant in 2023, arguing that the outcome would directly impact its operations. The case also raises questions about whether Ocean Industries lawfully transferred its rights under the deed to the homeowners association in 2017. While the lawsuit was pending, the San Diego City Council voted in October 2025 to remove the deed’s land-use restrictions. The city also amended Surf Cup’s lease to limit large events to 40 days per year. The Sierra Club filed a separate lawsuit challenging the city’s decision to remove the restrictions. In his 12-page decision, Torres identified three questions at the heart of the cases: what the deed permits and what remedies might apply to any violations; whether Ocean Industries’ assignment of rights was valid; and whether the city validly removed the deed restrictions. Torres set an Oct. 30 hearing to consider consolidating the two cases.

Encinitas studying return of red-light cameras By Cameron Adams
ENCINITAS — The Encinitas City Council has directed staff to study a new state pilot program and other options for bringing back red-light cameras, including their costs, potential locations and effects on traffic safety. Senate Bill 720, which took effect Jan. 1, offers a graduated fine structure and other guidelines for cities seeking to implement red-light cameras. Under the program, drivers would receive a $100 citation if they had not been ticketed in the previous three years, with fines rising to $500 for repeat violations. The law treats citations similarly to parking tickets, meaning violations would not count toward a driver’s DMV record, and requires cities to reinvest revenue in traffic safety projects. In addition to studying the SB 720 pilot program, the council directed staff to explore other programs and return with information about costs, potential camera locations, traffic data and data management. The council also asked staff to examine whether flashing yellow lights could alert drivers to an impending red light. Councilmember Luke Shaffer recommended exploring flashing yellow lights, saying the overall goal was to find ways to improve driver behavior. “Tonight our whole job isn’t actually to start the pilot program or vote on the pilot program,” Shaffer said during the Sept. 16 meeting. “It’s just to vote whether we want to study [whether] to do a pilot program. So, as far as doing a study, I think it’s a no-brainer. We need the study. We need to see what’s going on.” City Traffic Engineer Abe Bandegan said he had difficulty answering questions about SB 720 and related topics because staff members “haven’t really dug deep into the operation of the program” and had not previously been directed by the council to do so. The council voted 4-1 to proceed with the study. Deputy Mayor Jim O’Hara cast the dissenting vote, citing concerns about civil liberties, safety, private companies controlling data and potential legal issues. “Once you give your

rights away, the government usually doesn’t give them back,” O’Hara said. He said ending the pilot program would be “not as easy as putting it in.” Citing data from Solana Beach, he also questioned whether the city needed to gather more information. “If you want data, the data is out there,” O’Hara said. “We don’t need to use our residents as experiments to get the data if that’s really what we’re looking for.” In February, the Mobility and Traffic Safety Commission recommended that the council explore bringing back red-light cameras under SB 720 and identify possible locations. Encinitas installed redlight cameras at Encinitas Boulevard and El Camino Real in 2004 and at El Camino Real and the junction of Leucadia Boulevard and Olivenhain Road in 2005. In June 2013, city data showed collisions at Encinitas Boulevard and El Camino Real fell from 25 in the three years before camera installation to 10 during 2010-2012. At El Camino Real, Leucadia Boulevard and Olivenhain Road, collisions declined from 26 to 23 over the corresponding periods. Across both intersections, collisions attributed to red-light running fell from 12 to eight. Supporters cited safety benefits, while critics questioned the reductions and raised con-

cerns about $500 tickets. Following a 2019 council vote against renewing the program’s contract, camera enforcement ended when the contract expired in May 2020. During public comments, some speakers opposed bringing back the cameras, citing their reactive nature, surveillance concerns and questions about their effectiveness in improving roadway safety. Steve Linke, a former member of the Carlsbad Traffic Safety and Mobility Commission, presented data he collected from state agencies comparing crashes at the two Encinitas intersections during and after the camera program. His analysis showed crashes declined by more than 50% after the cameras were removed, a trend he said differed from those at neighboring intersections in his data set. “The crash numbers are low and the data is very noisy, so it will be challenging to assess the success of putting any cameras back in, but this gives you somewhat of a perspective,” Linke said. “I’m not opposed in any way to a pilot program, but the Encinitas data suggests cameras may actually increase crashes and injuries, and they would not, likely, address the root causes of the three recent very tragic fatalities. So, resources may be better focused on other strategies more likely to be effective like distracted driving enforcement.”
Other speakers questioned the analysis, citing its small sample size and failure to account for the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. John Chalekian, father of Emery Chalekian, a 12-year-old girl who was fatally struck by a vehicle in April 2025 as she crossed an intersection in a marked crosswalk, said his personal interest in the subject, and his academic and professional experience examining similar studies, led him to a different conclusion. Chalekian said insurance companies favor red-light cameras “because the value of a human life is pretty strong and the cost of a fatality is severe.” “The net findings of the red light camera safety studies suggest they reduce the most dangerous types of crashes leading to meaningful reductions in injuries and fatalities,” he said. “Although increases in rearend collisions are observed, these crashes are typically less severe. Perhaps there is no utopia, but the fender bender in comparison to the loss of a human life seems [like a] favorable trade-off.” Lara Grimmer, a founding member of Safe Streets Encinitas, which formed after Emery Chalekian’s death, said red-light cameras would influence driver behavior. “Upon encountering a yellow light, the presence of red light cameras are known to shift a driver’s perspective from ‘I can probably get away with it if I punch the gas’ to ‘it’s safer and smarter to stop,’” Grimmer said. Capt. Shane Watts of the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station said physical limitations can make enforcement difficult, particularly at the city’s larger intersections. “It can be challenging where the motor positions themselves,” Watts said. “It’s either they’re going to be on a sidewalk, or they’re going to be in the bike lane, which presents problems. “People tend to obey the law when we are present and they can see us, just like with stop signs.” Mayor Bruce Ehlers said further discussion of red-light cameras was part of a “patchwork of solutions to change the behavior” of drivers. He said he was interested in whether the cameras could have a “halo effect” on driver behavior elsewhere in the city and ex-

pressed concern about drivers running stop signs. “I don’t mean California stops,” Ehlers said. “I mean don’t-even-hit-the-brakes, right on through Rancho Santa Fe Road. I see it every night.” Councilmember Marco San Antonio supported further study of red-light cameras but said: “The starting point has to be data.” “It’s something that needs to be explored,” San Antonio said. “One death is too many. I do believe vision zero is a possibility. It’s a goal, and I would love to shoot for that. “We can’t do it if we don’t try something different – we don’t try something new or I know this is not new but this is a new program.” He added that SB 720 had some “guardrails to address some of the people’s concerns about privacy.” Councilmember Joy Lyndes said roadway safety was “a top priority” and would require a range of tools, potentially including red-light cameras if further evidence and discussion support their use. “I know we all value human life,” Lyndes said. “If it saves one life, it’s totally worth it. So my thought is why wouldn’t we enforce red light running?”
Planners advance Vulcan pedestrian path
The Encinitas Planning Commission has advanced plans to build a decomposed granite pedestrian walkway between Vulcan Avenue and the railroad tracks in the northern part of the city. The pathway would be 6 to 8 feet wide and approximately 1.23 miles long, according to city documents. The project would also include constructing a wooden pedestrian bridge over a drainage culvert and relocating existing roadway signs. The stretch currently features unmarked parallel street parking. Some portions roughly resemble what the completed path-
way would look like, while others consist of dirt interspersed with patches of native grasses and other vegetation. The project would not remove any trees in the public right-of-way or eliminate parking, according to the city. The commissioners unanimously approved the project’s design review and coastal development permits at their Sept. 17 meeting. The pathway would run along the west side of Vulcan Avenue, extending from Leucadia Boulevard in the south to just short of La Costa Avenue. There, it would connect with a walking path built as part of the Triton apartment project. That pathway runs around the new apartment complex and connects with ongoing pedestrian improvements along La Costa Avenue. According to city documents, the pathway’s gradual slope and width would make it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The city estimates that comprehensive maintenance of a decomposed granite pathway of that length would cost approximately $1,000 per month, including reapplying hardening agents, removing weeds and replenishing material. Commissioner William Whitaker said the city has done a good job maintaining similar surfaces used elsewhere. “So I’m confident that was a good choice,” Whitaker said. The Encinitas City Council has not yet funded the project. Funding could next be considered at the beginning of the budget cycle starting July 1, 2027. Commissioner Bridget Kimball said she wished more could be done along that stretch but appreciated that the project represented a step in the right direction. “I understand this is a good compromise and is an improvement over what we have now,” Kimball said. — Cameron Adams

Pier bridge rebuild inches ahead By Samantha Nelson
OCEANSIDE — The City Council certified an environmental impact report for the proposed $82 million reconstruction of the Pier View Way Bridge, advancing the project as the city faces a roughly $60 million funding gap. The program’s environmental impact report covers the bridge reconstruction and the city’s lifeguard headquarters, located at the base of the concrete structure. The council voted unanimously Sept. 16 to certify the report, with Councilmember Peter Weiss absent. “This is a very critical project for the city of Oceanside,” said Mayor Esther Sanchez. The report also covers the second phase of the beachfront improvement project, including improvements to the Junior Seau Beach Community Center, replacement of the Junior Seau Pier Amphitheater and Bandshell, and program-level planning for Betty’s lot. The first phase included a new restroom at Tyson Park and a new restroom and police substation next to the bandshell. The city circulated the draft report for public comment from Nov. 20, 2025, through Jan. 9, 2026. The report outlines measures to protect wildlife and cultural resources during construction. A qualified archaeologist and a Luiseño Native American monitor would also oversee initial ground-disturbing work, with exceptions for excavation within engineered fill. Either monitor could halt work if previously unknown tribal cultural resources were discovered, allowing the finds to be evaluated before construction proceeds. Reconstruction of the pier bridge was initially estimated to cost about $27 million. But the need for additional technical studies,

investigations, permitting and support services pushed the estimated cost to $82 million, leaving the city with a funding gap of about $60 million. The city has sought federal and state funding through annual lobbying efforts since 2017. Those efforts have had some success, including Rep. Mike Levin, D-San Juan Capistrano, securing $2 million in federal funding. However, the city’s options are limited. Transportation grants, for example, are unavailable because vehicles no longer use the bridge. City Engineer Brian Thomas said most grant programs require projects to be ready or nearly ready for construction before awarding funding. He estimated it could take “roughly 18 months” to finalize the project. The city also needs permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the California Coastal Commission. “Until we can get permitting, they’re not going to even look at the project,” Thomas said. Built in 1927, the pier bridge originally provided vehicle and pedestrian access to the pier. The city converted a public dining room at its western end into its lifeguard headquarters in 1987. According to city staff,
the bridge and lifeguard headquarters have experienced “significant deterioration” despite ongoing maintenance. With the structure nearing the end of its 100year lifespan, Thomas said the city had two options: rehabilitate it to extend its life by up to 30 years or replace it with a structure designed to last 75 to 100 years. The California Coastal Commission’s requirements to address sea-level rise helped shape the city’s decision to rebuild the bridge. “I know this is really important to our citizens,” Sanchez said. “We have to come up with $60 million.”
Lagoon work clears Del Mar planning hurdle
The Del Mar Planning Commission approved an environmental review for proposed projects along the San Dieguito Lagoon on Sept. 15. The first agenda item was the development agreement for the La Atalaya proposal, which will tie all permit expiration dates to the same date. The development — known locally as the “Snake Wall” parcel — lies west of San Dieguito Drive south of Jimmy Durante Boulevard. The 18-acre property is divided into eight lots, two with single-family homes.

Chris Murphy, of Oak Grove, told commissioners he was there on behalf of local wildlife. “The wild creatures could not be here today due to their aversion to carpooling,” Murphy said, drawing laughter from the dais and crowd. David Baxter, who serves on the Fallbrook Public Utility District board, said the project also puts the area’s water supply at risk. The Santa Margarita River provides much of the water for Fallbrook and Camp Pendleton, and he said that if a line blew into the river during a storm or mishap, the river could be unusable for a sustained period. The few who spoke in favor included members of

The other six could each accommodate a single-family home. The final item was the “San Dieguito Lagoon Levee, Habitat Enhancement, and Trail Project Final Mitigated Negative Declaration.” The document covers hiking trails, a flood-control levee and habitat restoration along the lagoon channel south of the fairgrounds. The city wants to add a vegetative berm along the channel’s south bank near its public works yard and an existing hiking trail to provide additional flood protection. Because several public agencies are involved, work on the other projects may not be imminent. Both recommendations now go to the City Council for final review. — Jim Trageser
Damage forces closure of bike park
Bradley Bike Park was briefly closed last week after city staff found a gate lock cut and several jumps damaged. City employees found the damage when they arrived to open the park Sept. 15, a city spokesperson said in an email. “On Tuesday, Sept. 15, City of San Marcos staff arrived at Bradley Bike Park to open the park to the public. But staff found that the lock on the gate had been cut and there was damage to multiple jumps that appeared to be caused by improper use.” The city received several reports that a group had used the park Monday, Sept. 14, and apparently posted a video of themselves riding motorized bikes, which are prohibited at Bradley, the spokesperson said. The city filed a report with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office. — Jim Trageser nancial immunity for fires caused by their equipment, concrete tower bases replacing flood-absorbing soil and the numerous fault lines the proposed path crosses. Jeniene Domercq, a member of the Fallbrook Planning Group, summarized the hearing at one point by waving her arm across the gallery. “What you see in front of you is 145 miles of opposition,” Baxter said. As this was a public hearing to gather input, no vote or commission discussion took place. The Public Utilities Commission has five members appointed by the governor and confirmed by the state Senate. According to its website, the PUC “regulates privately owned electric, natural gas, telecommunications, water, railroad, rail transit, and passenger transportation companies, in addition to authorizing video franchises.”

youth sports and recreational facilities are an important part of that,” said Noelle Denke, FPUD's public information officer. “In this case, the funding helped support improvements that provide safer, better facilities for the many children, families and adults who use the park.” Musco Sports Lighting, the lighting supplier, and the electricians who installed the lights also gave the sports park significant discounts. The park contributed about $100,000 of its own funds toward the new lights. “It was a true community effort,” Guerrettaz said. Guerrettaz said the sports park hopes to continue making improvements to complete its buildout, including adding more lights, a scoreboard and additional parking. The park offers three multipurpose fields for soccer, softball and baseball games, plus an arena for arena soccer. The Fallbrook Sports Association recently requested $300,860 from the county’s Park Land Dedication Ordinance funds to install three new Musco light poles on Field 1. The sports association received tentative approval from the County Service Area 81 Fallbrook Local Parks Advisory Committee. The San Diego County Board of Supervisors is expected to consider the request for final approval later.

through the Permanent Local Housing Allocation program, including $226,857 initially available upon approval of the application. Applying that initial amount to the proposed shelter arrangement would leave up to $154,203 for the city’s general fund to cover. City Manager Jennifer Campbell thanked Vista for the “new and innovative” partnership and said a tour of South County Lighthouse with Armstrong left her optimistic about expanding the Rescue Mission agreement. “Very impressed to see the facility, very exciting,” said Campbell. “It’s nice to be able to actually visit to know where we’re going to be sending our folks, and it was clean and looked great.” Campbell said staff would bring the proposed contract amendment to the council Oct. 14 for approval.
FALLBROOK — New lights at Ingold Sports Park are a win-win for the community, providing clearer field lighting for athletes while reducing light pollution in the night sky. The new, lower-power, dark sky-compliant LED lighting system is a significant improvement over the previous lights, according to park organizers. Josh Guerrettaz, the park’s director, said the park switched from halogen to LED lights about eight years ago, but the lights weren’t the correct kind. Proper sports lighting focuses on the fields and doesn’t spread out. The old lights polluted the night sky with extra light but left dark spots on the field, making it harder for players to see. The Fallbrook Sports Association, the nonprofit operator of the sports park, applied for and received a $215,000 grant earlier this year from the Fallbrook Public Utility District’s Community Benefit Program to help pay for the new lights. The association was one of nine community organizations that received grants during this funding cycle. The sports association also received $51,400 from the utility district for routine park maintenance. “The program is intended to support projects that benefit the community, and

and to me it doesn’t matter if it’s 30 miles away or 20 miles away,” O’Hara said. “It’s about getting the best for these people that we can do and and clearly it’s working.” Councilmember Marco San Antonio said he appreciated that the Rescue Mission’s programs serve “not just adults.” “I love that you’re able to accept families and children,” San Antonio said. “For me, that’s a win.” The report identifies the organization’s Mission Academy, a separate, yearlong residential rehabilitation program, as an option for families with children. The program has expanded its capacity to 228 people. Staff also identified potential state funding to help cover the dedicated shelter beds. Encinitas is eligible for an estimated $684,575 over five years

Four rapes reported at CSUSM in fall semester By Jim Trageser
SAN MARCOS — Cal State San Marcos officials have confirmed that four rapes were reported during the first three weeks of the new semester. Although campus administrators and university police have released few details while the incidents remain under investigation, The Coast News confirmed the following re-
ports through screenshots of security alerts CSUSM students shared on social media. Campus officials also confirmed the alerts were authentic: Sept. 5 — The Quad Sept. 6 — University Village Apartments Sept. 13 — Black Oak Hall Sept. 18 — The Quad The reported rapes were disclosed through “timely
warning crime bulletins” required under the federal Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act. The alerts are sent to all currently enrolled students, faculty and staff. The University Police crime log showed no arrests by campus police since Sept. 5 as of noon Sept. 20, including no arrests for sexual assault. University spokesperson Jerry McCormick told
The Coast News by email that University Police, a branch of the state police, are investigating a different suspect in each case. In each incident, the victim reported that the alleged perpetrator was a known acquaintance. McCormick added that sexual assaults on college campuses are most prevalent during the first weeks of the fall semester. “The first six weeks of

O’side buys new drones
By City News Service
By Samantha Nelson
OCEANSIDE — The city is moving forward with the purchase of two new drones, costing nearly $700,000, for the Police Department to use as first responders following a successful yearlong pilot program. The City Council approved a 13-month dronesas-first-responders pilot program in April 2025. The program officially launched last August and is nearing its conclusion. Over the past year, the drone has used City Hall as a launch site to respond to approximately 1,300 calls for service. Of those responses, about 392 were resolved without officers responding to the scene. The drone averaged a 1-minute, 49-second response time and often arrived at scenes faster than officers on the ground. At the Sept. 16 council meeting, Police Capt. Nick Nuñez said the drone has helped locate missing people, assist with water rescues, locate stolen vehicles and direct ground officers during pursuits. “We feel like this trial period has been extremely successful for us,” Nuñez said. According to the Oceanside Police Department, its drones are unarmed, used during routine patrols, used for neighborhood surveillance or intended to replace officers. Police Chief Taurino Valdovinos explained that the drones’ cameras point toward the horizon as they respond to calls for service to avoid recording normal activity. Access to recorded video is tightly controlled and never shared with outside agencies or used for immigration response, he said. The council unanimously approved a fiveyear contract with Axon Enterprise to purchase two Skydio drones for up to approximately $682,000 in a 4-0 vote. One drone will remain stationed at City Hall to respond to calls in the western portion of the city. The Police Department is currently looking for an appropriate launch site in the eastern portion of the city.
the fall semester at universities across the nation are often called the ‘Red Zone,’ when the risk of campus sexual violence is elevated. “Because the beginning of the academic year can be a particularly vulnerable time for students, CSUSM begins prevention and consent education before students arrive on campus and continues those efforts throughout the year through

Governor declares emergency for El Niño By City News Service
REGION — Gov. Gavin Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency on Sept. 22 in California ahead of what state officials say could be a historic El Niño season, directing agencies to stage equipment, protect infrastructure and prepare communities for severe winter weather. The looming El Niño event is already breaking records, and forecasters expect it to continue to strengthen, potentially becoming the strongest in recorded history. Officials warn El Niño could bring heavy rain, strong winds, mountain snow, and coastal flooding. “California is strongest when we look out for one another,” Newsom said. “That is what this action is about. Giving communities the support they need, giving first responders the tools to do their jobs, and giving families the confidence that their state is ready. We are preparing for this El Niño early because every Californian deserves to be safe in their home, connected to their community, and protected when severe weather comes.” El Niño is a natural climate pattern marked by warmer-than-average ocean temperatures in the tropical eastern Pacific, which can shift weather patterns and bring wetter, more intense, powerful winters to California. A study published in the journal Science last month found El Niño events are
now more than 36% stronger than before the industrial era, with that trend accelerating over the last 40 years as the planet warms. According to the governor’s office, the emergency proclamation mobilizes state resources and streamlines procurement to prepare for El Niño’s anticipated impacts, like strong storms and coastal flooding. The declaration orders state agencies to lead the state’s flood-risk-reduction efforts, stage flood-fighting supplies such as sandbags and pumps, and pre-position other critical equipment. The California National Guard will also be called in to assist with emergency response, Newsom said. “California is already taking steps now to protect communities from a potentially historic El Niño because we know how serious these weather extremes driven by climate change can be,” California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot said in a statement. The proclamation also directs the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, along with state agencies, to expand multilingual public outreach efforts about preparedness for severe weather, flooding, emergency alerts, evacuation readiness, power outages and more. Forecasters say this fall and winter could be dangerous, and possible impacts include repeated heavy rain, strong winds, mountain snow, flooding, landslides,
debris flows, large waves, and coastal flooding. Officials said Californians should prepare early. El Niño is strengthening, they say, with a greater than 90% chance of a very strong event this fall and winter and a 75% chance it could reach historic strength. The Pacific is unusually warm, and that warmth can shift storm tracks and load the atmosphere with more energy over the months ahead. Weather forecasters said the huge waves fueled by Hurricane Marie, which hit Southern California this month, could indicate the powerful effects of El Niño. The weather pattern usually emerges every two to seven years, and lasts nine to 12 months, officials said. Of particular concern are large waves predicted in November and December, Hollander said. “Storms are among the deadliest disasters we face here in California,” Cal OES Director Caroline Thomas Jacobs said. “People underestimate the power of water.”
ESCONDIDO — A 47-year-old man was killed after he stepped into the path of an oncoming vehicle in Escondido, authorities said this week. The crash occurred at about 7:45 p.m. on Sept. 21 in the northbound lanes of Centre City Parkway near Ninth Avenue, according to the Escondido Police Department. Police said the driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. Authorities noted that drugs, alcohol and speed on the part of the driver were not considered factors in the collision. A bystander gave medical aid to the victim before he was transported to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly afterward, the department reported. Centre City Parkway was closed for about four hours while investigators combed the scene. In Bonsall, a woman convicted of driving drunk and crashing head-on into another vehicle on a Bonsall roadway, killing a passenger in the other car, was sentenced Sept. 17 to 11 years and eight months in state prison. Janely Bautista, 32, was found guilty by a Vista jury last year of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and other charges for the March 17, 2024, crash that killed 53-year-old Ricardo Becerra and severely injured his wife, Maria Becerra, who was driving. The California Highway Patrol said Bautista’s Chevrolet Silverado veered into the oncoming traffic lane of Gopher Canyon Road just before 11:30 p.m. and struck the victims’ Toyota Camry. Both victims were hospitalized, and Ricardo Becerra was pronounced dead. Prosecutors allege Bau-

tista had a prior DUI conviction and a blood-alcohol level of at least 0.15% at the time of the fatal crash. On the Oceanside coast, emergency crews came to the rescue Sept. 17 of three men who wound up treading water in the ocean off the coast of northern San Diego County after the boat they were in sank. The occupants of the 39-foot vessel sent out a mayday after it began taking on water at about 5:30 a.m. Thursday, according to the Oceanside Fire Department. As authorities worked to locate the foundering boat, transmissions from it ceased, and the men aboard stopped responding to radio calls. At that point, U.S. Coast Guard personnel used triangulation to determine the boat’s last known location, about six nautical miles northwest of Oceanside Harbor. The federal agency then requested assistance from the OFD Marine Safety Unit. Members of the city team spotted the stranded men floating in life jackets, motored over to their position and pulled them aboard the rescue vessel. An onboard paramedic evaluated the trio and determined that they were suffering from exhaustion and mild hypothermia, and the marine safety crew provided them with water, food and dry clothing. The rescued men, who declined further medical attention, told the fire department they were the only people aboard the boat. They did have a dog with them, however, and had been unable to find the animal after entering the water.

Strike Force has new QB for 2027
C
By Noah Perkins
oming off back-toback-to-back appearances in the Indoor Football League Western Conference championship game, the San Diego Strike Force has extended 2026 IFL Coach of the Year Taylor Genuser and defensive coordinator Adam Shackleford through 2028. The Strike Force opened September by re-signing several players for the 2027 season, including defensive backs William Barber, Herman Smith, Devin Hafford and Malik Jones, running back Tyrell Greene and longtime kicker Ernesto Lacayo. Notably absent is veteran quarterback Nate Davis, whom Lacayo recently called “the Dan Marino of indoor football.” Davis, a second-team All-IFL selection after throwing 64 touchdowns this season, announced Aug. 30 on social media that he was becoming a free agent after an “incredible journey” with the Strike Force. Davis joined the Strike Force in 2023 and helped turn the team from a 1-13 league doormat into a perennial playoff team. “I’m playing no matter what,” Davis, who will be 40 next season, told The Coast News upon entering free agency. “They wanted to go younger.” The Strike Force acquired quarterback James Cahoon in a trade after he led the Jacksonville Sharks with more than 1,800 passing yards and 32 touchdowns while completing 64% of his passes through 11 games. “He’s a mobile quarterback, which is what our team wants,” Lacayo told The Coast News.
Encinitas native wins Mexican League title
Former major leaguer and Encinitas native Phil Evans is a Liga Mexicana de Béisbol champion after the Toros de Tijuana won the 2026 Serie del Rey. Tijuana beat the Ol-
mecas de Tabasco 2-0 in Game 6 on Sept. 15 to win the championship series in six games. It was the third title in franchise history. Evans, 33, hit .314 with five home runs and 34 RBI in 67 regular-season games as the Toros went 60-31. He also scored Tijuana’s first run in a 2-0 Game 3 victory over Tabasco in the Serie del Rey. The championship season reunited Evans with former Mets teammates Justin Turner and Wilmer Flores. “I tell them every day, ‘You guys ever think 10 years ago we’d be in TJ together?’” Evans said of Turner, 41, and Flores, 35. “It’s like a running joke, but we’ve been having a lot of fun with it. And, I mean, we’re still playing ball, so we can’t complain. It’s a funny full-circle moment.”
Vista boys hoops coach steps down
Anthony Bolton has stepped down after 10 seasons as Vista High School’s boys basketball coach, ending a tenure in which he guided the Panthers to a 140-145 overall record. Bolton took over the program for the 2016-17 season and led Vista to a 28-5 record. The Panthers followed with records of 23-9 and 21-10 before sliding to 10-18 in 2024-25 and 5-22 last season. The Vista graduate’s connection to the school dates to his playing days. Bolton was the Palomar League co-Player of the Year in 1999 and averaged 19.7 points and 8.0 rebounds as a sophomore. Bolton, a 6-foot-7 forward, played at Palomar College before continuing to Cal State Fullerton. He averaged 10.8 points and 4.1 rebounds as a junior and 12.2 points and 4.9 rebounds as a senior for the Titans. Before returning to Vista, Bolton was an assistant at Mission Hills. He was inducted into the Palomar College Athletic Hall of Fame in 2015.

San Marcos flag football rolls By Noah Perkins
SAN MARCOS — Before San Marcos High’s flag football quarterback Finlee Hovis had ever taken a snap, she was an eighth grader throwing a football in physical education class at San Elijo Middle School. Her PE teacher, Joey Neptune, took notice and told Knights coach Gary Keeton about a “phenomenal, mature athlete” in his class. “I watched her throw the football from afar and thought, ‘That’s the person I’m going to build my program around,’” Keeton told The Coast News. “I decided that when she was in eighth grade, and sure enough, it’s panned out.” Hovis, a 5-foot-9 junior and three-time team captain, now leads San Marcos’ offense with 33 touchdown passes against four interceptions. She has added 11 rushing touchdowns and over 600 yards on the ground for the 13-1 Knights, who have outscored their opponents 453-86 and are ranked No. 35 in the state. But the talent Keeton saw as an eighth grader was still raw when Hovis became the Knights’ starting quarterback as a freshman. “Freshman year, there was nothing natural about it,” Keeton said. “She was very raw to the game, very raw to football technique
and skills. She’s a quick learner, very coachable, and her maturity played into that as well. And she just picked it up. Her technique is great. Her arm strength has increased greatly. She’s taking her game to another level this year.” For Hovis, it doesn’t hurt having junior track standout Miyah Holmes, who excels in the 100 meters, to throw to. “She may be the fastest girl in San Diego County,” Keeton said. Holmes has 54 receptions for 972 yards and 17 touchdowns this season, averaging 18 yards per catch. She has also rushed for 160 yards and five touchdowns. “Just tremendous ball skills, hand-eye coordination,” Keeton said. “She makes some phenomenal catches. We see this every practice, every game. She’s traveled around the country to different camps — Alabama, Georgia — and she’s received MVP honors all over the place. L.A., she’s gone to all those camps up there and all those clinics. She’s kind of known nationwide.” Keeton also pointed to junior Brielle Johnson, a middle linebacker who had a pick-six in San Marcos’ 60-0 win over Coastal Academy. “Brielle Johnson, just an imposing figure on the field,” Keeton said. “She’s kind of
my leader, leader on the defense, like Finlee is on the offense.” The Knights have other two-way contributors in sophomores Sydney Bentle and Ella Chadwick. Bentle plays cornerback and wide receiver and is an “absolute playmaker” and “phenomenal athlete,” according to Keeton. Chadwick plays linebacker and wide receiver. Freshman Taylor Grigg, a newcomer this season, has made an impact at linebacker and running back. Keeton said the Knights use her as a ball carrier and check-down option, where her quickness allows her to make plays in space. San Marcos’ only loss came Sept. 11, a 14-0 de-
feat to Huntington Beach. The Knights have won six straight since. (This story went to press before their Wednesday night home game vs. Poway.) “Our focus now is, we love the success, but we want to take it day to day,” Keeton said. “We want to keep improving each practice and each game as we get into league play and the playoffs. We want to be entering pretty hot, like we did last season. We got hot our last five or six games and went on that nice little run in the playoffs. We’re kind of following the same blueprint this year.” San Marcos went 13-10 last season and lost to Imperial in the San Diego Section Division I semifinals.
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:56-57
For RBV, loss can’t dampen sense of progress By Noah Perkins
VISTA — When Terrence McKinnie took over Rancho Buena Vista’s football program, the Longhorns were coming off a 1-9 season. Three years later, McKinnie says RBV is a different program. The Longhorns went 6-5 last season and are 2-3 after a fourth-quarter comeback attempt fell short Friday night. “The team has matured,” McKinnie told The Coast News before the season. “We have about 30 seniors who have been in the program,
and they know what I expect and what the standards are. We’ve gotten the football players out there now — guys who are playing for each other. We’ve also changed some things and brought in some new coaches.” The Longhorns trailed Fullerton 28-7 entering the fourth quarter before scoring three touchdowns in the final period. Fullerton held on for a 34-28 victory. Quarterback Van Piercy completed 14 of 25 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns, while running back
Ean Perfect carried 12 times for 128 yards and two scores. Sean Richards caught four passes for 67 yards and a touchdown, and Mason Imoto added a 25-yard touchdown reception. Isaiah Simmons had six catches for 62 yards, while Lincoln Bryan added a 34-yard reception. “Those values are no longer simply expectations — they are being demonstrated every day through the players’ preparation, accountability, resilience and willingness to compete for one another,” the Rancho
Buena Vista coaching staff said in an email to The Coast News. “Friday night’s performance showed just how far the program has come.” North County scores

ncient Peaks Winery owner Karl Wittstrom is guiding his truck up, up, up a rocky, bone-jolting dirt road bordered by manzanita, white sage and coast oaks. The dusty path takes us to the top of an unnamed mountain that is the inspiration for the name of his winery. For three days, we will explore the Paso Robles American Viticultural Area, about a four-and-a-half-hour drive from North County. The thermometer registers 102, so we are grateful for the air-conditioned cab, and it’s difficult to imagine that Wittstrom’s 14.000acre Santa Margarita Ranch is normally the coolest and wettest spot in this AVA. “We get up to 100 inches of rain a year,” he says. At the 2,500-foot summit, we survey the expansive view, land once inhabited by Chumash and Salinan Indians as early as 10,000 years ago. Today, 1,000 of the ranch’s acres are a patchwork of 16 varieties of grapes grown sustainably in five types of soil, thanks to longago geological activity. Coming down the mountain, a young, wild pig and her eight or 10 black piglets dash in the other direction. They are cute and quick and popular with visitors, but according to Wittstrom, a nuisance population that has gotten out of control. They damage vineyards, orchards, irrigation systems and can spread disease. Wittstrom and two partner families — the Filipponis and Rossis — bought this former Robert Mondavi property in 2005. “Doug (Filipponi) and I both grew up in the area and farming is something we both love,” Wittstrom says over a perfect hot-weather lunch of butter lettuce, marinated chicken breast and smoky balsamic vinaigrette. The pairing: a crisp, chilled Ancient Peaks Sauvignon Blanc. “But farming is fickle and the wine industry is always changing — like jeans. One year it’s bellbottoms, the

next year it’s skinny jeans. Now bellbottoms are back.” Which is to say that tastes change, and that goes for wine too. Sales are down recently, and reasons cited are an over-saturated market, health concerns, and preferences of millennials and Gen Zers. They drink less or no alcohol, or conversely, favor cocktails or legalized marijuana. Surveys also indicate that these demographics perceive wine to be complicated and stodgy. To help reverse the trend, 20 Paso Robles wineries formed the CAB Collective to promote cabernet sauvignon and red Bordeaux varietals, and created a midweek experience called the CAB Trail. Come to Paso midweek, stay at the Allegretto Vineyard Resort, and enjoy free wine-tastings or charcuterie boards at the member wineries. “The program offers an … insider look at Paso Robles' celebrated vineyards and hospitality, while encouraging guests to explore beyond the weekend rush,” says Linda Sanpei, collective spokesperson. Some wineries also have diversified; they offer experiences like Ancient Peaks’ zip lining, e-bike tours, guided nature and foraging hikes (think pine nuts and chanterelle mushrooms), and horseback riding. “We are trying to develop programs that showcase the ranch,” Wittstrom says. At Castoro Cellars, visitors can sample zinfandel, pinot noir and pinot grigio, catch some live music, and take e-bike tours and play disc golf among the vines.
Castoro’s self-appointed historian Sherry Sweeney, who holds court in the tasting room, gives lessons in the area’s geological history and the petrified whale vertebrae that line the windowsill. Back at the Allegretto, guests can wander the grounds and see the vast art collection of owner Douglas Ayres. Docent Karyl Lammers conducts thrice-weekly tours and relates how Ayres sought and found peace after the death of his teenage son. This quest influenced the design and construction of the hotel inside and out. For quiet moments, the resort offers a chapel; a Star Garden Trail that features 12 stations, each representing a constellation of the Zodiac; and a motion-activated Sonic Labyrinth Sound Circle. Walk through the circle and hear soft, hypnotic tones that change with your position. Resort guests also can stroll through some of Allegretto’s 20 acres of vineyards, cultivated organically using regenerative farming practices. At day’s end, Allegretto guests can descend the hotel’s double winding staircase to the upscale-but-casual Cello Ristorante & Bar for perfectly prepared Mediterranean and Italian fare. There are daily specials, like Chef Gregg Denter’s Italian sushi — delectable rolls of prosciutto, goat cheese, figs and a luscious balsamic vinaigrette.

Coast Thai-Way: SE Asian comfort food in Leucadia lick the plate david boylan
F
irst off, I am stoked we have a solid concept led by an experienced restaurant industry team on the corner of Coast Highway and Daphne in the heart of Leucadia. Some iconic businesses, like Mozy Café, have occupied that space over the years and it deserves a solid, yet creative and fun team like the folks behind Coast ThaiWay. That said, Leucadia has never been a community that embraces the generic. From the characters who have populated its beaches and businesses over the years to its wonderfully eclectic collection of restaurants, there has always been a preference for the independent, the soulful and the slightly unexpected. Coast Thai-Way, the new Lao Thai restaurant from owners Stella Bayphouthongkham and Bee Sukcharoen, checks all those boxes. Located at 698 North Coast Highway 101, Coast Thai-Way brings something fresh to the local dining scene while fitting comfortably into the laid-back rhythm of Leucadia. Stella and Bee have transformed it into a destination that combines traditional family recipes and ingredients with the bright, complex flavors of Southeast Asia. And to top it off, the team they have in place is fun, energetic, steeped in the knowledge and history of their cuisine, and poised to be around for the long haul. The partners also coown Mekong Cuisine Lao & Thai on Convoy Street, and that should really tell us all we need to know about their experience. But Coast ThaiWay is not simply a North County version of Mekong. The concept is tailored to its coastal location with seafood, seasonal produce and Southern California influences blended with the Lao and Thai dishes that have been part of Bayphouthongkham’s family for generations. Her family emigrated from Laos in 1990, landing in San Diego, and never left. Food was definitely a big part of her life growing up and connected her family to their roots. Being able to cook and eat the food her parents grew up on was a big deal in a brand-new country. At 18, she started college and got a job at a local Thai joint, her introduction to the industry, and also where she met her partner Bee. They hit it off instantly...and lucky for us! Fast forward to their dream location in Leucadia. For the less adventurous of us looking for something

It also allows Nulux to move projects from quote to completion in approximately six weeks, according to the company. Nulux Baths also recognizes that homeowners do not want their bathroom disrupted for months. Depending on the project, inhome installation generally takes only two to five days.

ith climate scientists foreca sting what could be among the strongest El Niño seasons on record this winter, North San Diego County residents should begin to take the necessary steps to ensure their homes withstand the inclement weather. Local cities like Oceanside are already taking precautions by clearing drains and channels as well as reviewing emergency flood response. Such actions follow the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s prediction that the chance of a very strong El Niño is above 90%, meaning the event could rank among the strongest on record. Gov. Gavin Newsom has also proclaimed a state of emergency as of Sept. 21 to mobilize state resources ahead of the winter storm season. According to the governor’s office, the move “directs state agencies to begin protecting vulnerable communities, prepare roads and critical infrastructure,
stage emergency supplies, and help local partners reduce flood, landslide and coastal risks.” As state and local governments begin to prepare, so too should homeowners. Acting sooner than later can save time and money in the long run.
Clear drainage When it comes to preparing the yard for heavy rain, the best place to start is clearing any drains and gutters on the property. Even though a home may not be close to a body of water, that doesn’t mean it won’t flood — especially if a major drain is clogged nearby. It’s also important to make sure all stormwater flows away from the property and to the proper channels. Homeowners who have areas of their yard where water puddles may want to consider regrading or repaving, if possible.

Slow drain? Anderson’s $63 reason to stop putting it off
T
he shower ends, but the water lingers around your ankles. The kitchen sink drains slowly enough to interrupt cleanup. The toilet backs up, again. A stubborn drain has a way of becoming part of the household routine. Until one day, working around it becomes more trouble than making the call. For North County homeowners at that point, Anderson Plumbing, Heating & Air offers a straightforward starting price: $63 or Free Drain Clearing. Under the promotion, technicians restore flow to a qualifying mainline drain for $63. If they cannot restore flow, the drain-clearing attempt is free. The residential offer includes no dispatch fee and requires an accessible cleanout, the access point a technician uses to reach the drain line. Homeowners experiencing backups in a kitchen sink, shower, bathtub, toilet or laundry area can describe the problem when scheduling and confirm whether it qualifies. That gives homeowners a specific service and price to ask about before an appointment. It also provides an opportunity to understand why a drain is causing trouble, particularly when

the same problem keeps returning. Clearing an obstruction may get water moving again. A damaged pipe or recurring root intrusion may call for additional work. The promotion covers the qualifying drain-clearing service; separate diagnostics, repairs or replacement should be discussed and priced separately. Anderson offers camera inspections to look inside sewer lines, along with
snaking, hydro jetting and sewer repair or replacement. The company identifies aging cast-iron pipes, shifting soil and root intrusion among the challenges it encounters in San Diego County, including root problems in Escondido and San Marcos. For homeowners who have invested in a garden, patio or mature landscaping, the prospect of digging up a sewer line can be especially unwelcome. An-
derson’s trenchless services may offer an alternative in suitable situations, reducing the excavation needed to repair or replace a line. The choice depends on the pipe’s condition and the property. A backed-up drain is only one reason to call the company. Anderson has served San Diego County since 1978, with services that reach from the plumbing beneath a home to the equipment that heats and cools it.
A shower that runs cold can lead to a conversation about water heater repair or replacement, including traditional and tankless models. A persistent leak may require detection and pipe repairs. Aging plumbing, worn fixtures and concerns about water quality are also within the c o m p a n y ’s scope, with services including repiping, fixture replacement, filtration and water softening. For rooms that never seem to reach a comfortable temperature, Anderson provides heating and air conditioning repairs, maintenance and installation. Its offerings include furnaces, heat pumps, ductless systems and indoor air quality services. The breadth of those services allows homeowners to address an immediate problem while also asking about projects ahead, whether that means replacing an aging water heater or planning heating and cooling improvements. There is a personal side to the service call, too. Before a dispatched technician arrives, Anderson says it sends an email in-
troducing that person, including industry experience and some background. The company also provides ongoing employee training. For a homeowner opening the door to someone new, that introduction offers a little familiarity before the work begins. North County residents can connect with Anderson through its San Marcos location. When calling about the drain-clearing promotion, describe which fixtures are affected, how long the problem has been happening and whether it has returned after previous service. Ask about eligibility and access requirements when booking. The drain you have learned to live with may be worth a conversation. At $63 for qualifying service, Anderson is giving homeowners a reason to start one. For information about Anderson Plumbing, Heating & Air or to schedule service, call the San Marcos location at (760) 762-4388 or visit andersonplumbingheatingandair.com. Ask for the $63 or Free Drain Clearing offer.

FOR HOMEOWNERS, choosing the right installer may be the most important decision in the entire process. Stellar Solar was founded in San Diego County in 1998. Courtesy photo
Why Stellar Solar is the trusted choice for solar, battery storage
S
tellar Solar, headquartered in Oceanside, and one of California's most experienced solar and battery storage companies, recently earned two of the region's highest consumer-voted honors for 2026. Named Best Solar Company in the San Diego Union-Tribune Readers Poll and Best Solar Energy Provider in The Coast News Best of North County Awards, further solidified its reputation as one of the top-rated solar installers in San Diego County. The awards coincide with Stellar Solar's 28th anniversary, marking nearly three decades of helping homeowners and businesses lower electricity costs through high-quality solar panel installation, Tesla Powerwall, Enphase battery storage, and custom renewable energy solutions. To celebrate, Stellar is offering up to 50% discounts on solar and battery storage. This is made possible through a combination of our proprietary Energy Service Agreement, Energy Community discounts and the SDCP battery rebate. That combination will save you up to 50% and at the very least 35% depending on what your home qualifies for. These are real, up front discounts and rebates not some made up hype from a sketchy installer. For North County homeowners considering solar and battery storage,
choosing the right installer may be the most important decision in the entire process. Equipment matters, but system design, installation quality and long-term service ultimately determine how well an energy investment performs. That is why so many local homeowners choose Stellar Solar. Founded in San Diego County in 1998, Stellar Solar brings 28 years of experience to every project. The company has completed more than 17,000 residential and commercial installations, giving its team the practical knowledge to handle everything from straightforward rooftop systems to complex projects involving batteries, electrical upgrades, EV charging and whole-home electrification. Stellar Solar’s local roots are especially valuable in North County. Its team understands SDG&E rate structures, regional permitting requirements and the energy needs of homes throughout Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Vista, San Marcos, Escondido and neighboring communities. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all package, Stellar designs each system around the homeowner’s electricity usage, roof, budget and long-term goals. That personalized approach is increasingly important. Under today’s time-of-use rates, solar panels alone may not deliver the same value they once did. Panels generate power during daylight hours, while many families consume the most electricity in the late afternoon and evening, when utility rates can be higher. Adding battery storage allows homeowners to save excess solar energy produced during the day and use it later. A properly designed solar-and-battery system can reduce reliance on expensive grid power, provide greater control over
household energy use and keep selected essentials operating during an outage, depending on the system’s design and capacity. Stellar Solar installs leading battery technologies, including Tesla Powerwall and Enphase systems. Its experienced consultants help homeowners compare options based on usable capacity, backup needs, equipment compatibility and budget. Homeowners should also consider who will be available after installation. Solar is a long-term investment, and warranties are only as reassuring as the company standing behind them. Stellar Solar’s longevity and dedicated service capabilities provide something newer, or out-ofarea installers may struggle to match: an established local team that supports customers beyond the day their system is switched on. Stellar Solar holds an active California C-10 electrical contractor’s license, and its customers work with knowledgeable professionals throughout consultation, design, permitting, installation and activation. Before signing a contract, homeowners should ask how long the installer has been operating, who performs the work, how service requests are handled and whether the proposed system reflects their actual energy habits. Stellar Solar’s track record offers reassuring answers to each of those questions. For North County homeowners ready to lower their dependence on the utility, prepare for outages and make better use of California sunshine, Stellar Solar offers the experience, technology and local accountability that matter most. Schedule a complimentary solar and battery consultation at Stellar Solar.net or call 866-7876527.
wning a rental property can sound simple enough. Find a good tenant. Collect the rent. Fix something when it breaks. But Rich Brocchini and Baryic Hunter know that waiting until something goes wrong is rarely the best way to protect a home. Before founding 33 Property Management, the two spent decades in the fire service, eventually rising to chief officer positions. Their careers taught them to assess risk, anticipate problems and protect people and property before a small issue becomes an emergency. Today, they apply much of that same thinking to rental homes. “Property management is not simply collecting rent,” Brocchini and Hunter said. “It is about communication, risk management, relationships and anticipating issues before they become problems.” That philosophy has helped 33 Property Management earn Best of North County Gold for the second consecutive year, recognition the founders say is particularly meaningful because it reflects the trust of the clients, residents and community they serve. For homeowners with a rental property, however, the real test comes when something goes wrong. A small leak can become water damage. Deferred maintenance can become an expensive repair. A poorly screened tenant or prolonged vacancy can quickly erase whatever an owner hoped to save by managing the property themselves. Brocchini and Hunter say owners commonly worry about protecting their investment, finding qualified residents, avoiding extended vacancies, controlling maintenance costs and keeping up with changing laws and regulations. That is why they encourage homeowners to look beyond price when choosing professional management. A lower management fee, they say, can ultimately become expensive when accompanied by poor tenant screening, delayed maintenance, extended vacancies, compliance issues or inadequate oversight. Instead, homeowners should ask practical questions: How are residents screened? How quickly will someone respond when there is a problem? How are maintenance requests and emergencies handled? How will the manager communicate with the owner? Those questions get to the heart of what professional management should provide. “We actively protect and steward” the properties entrusted to the company, Brocchini and Hunter said. Their firefighting back-

grounds give that idea another dimension. Years spent around homes and buildings gave the two firsthand knowledge of residential construction, building systems, life-safety issues and the ways seemingly minor problems can grow into serious ones. Preventive maintenance and regular inspections are therefore not simply administrative tasks. They are part of protecting the asset. 33 Property Management provides services ranging from marketing and tenant screening to rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections, financial reporting and compliance. The company says regular in-person inspections can help identify potential maintenance problems before they grow. That local presence can matter, too. Whether an owner is seeking Cardiff Property Management, Solana Beach Property Management or San Marcos Property Management, Brocchini and Hunter believe knowing the community and being able to get to a property quickly can make a meaningful difference. And not every client is a large real estate investor. Many are homeowners with a single rental property, perhaps a former family home, an inherited property or an investment intended to provide income in retirement. For those owners, managing the home themselves may work perfectly well until the calls, repairs, regulations and responsibilities begin consuming more time than expected. Professional management should give some of that time back. 33 Property Management sums up its approach in a simple promise: “Your Property Is Our Priority.” For two former firefighters accustomed to protecting homes and the people inside them, it is more than a slogan. It is a continuation of the service philosophy that has guided their careers. To learn more about 33 Property Management or schedule a consultation, visit 33PMG.com or call 858859-4157.

For those who live in flood-prone areas, stocking up on sandbags is a must. In Oceanside, sandbags are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Oceanside residents must bring a shovel and a photo ID to pick up free sand and 10 free sandbags at Moody’s El Corazon Recycling, 3210 Oceanside Boulevard, open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Prefilled bags are also available for purchase. Those who live elsewhere should check with their local municipalities to see if free sandbags are available.

Have emergency kit In severe storm cases, some people may be left stranded at home for several days – often without power. Having an emergency kit would ensure an individual is stocked up on food, water, first-aid and other necessary supplies. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, a basic emergency kit should include the following: • Water and non-perishable food supply for several days • Extra cell phone battery or charger • Battery-powered or hand crank radio that can

Inspect home’s mechanical systems During the winter storm months, homes will be working extra hard to ensure their inhabitants are comfortable. Burgeson’s Heating and Air Conditioning recommends scheduling professional inspections of the home’s HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems. This includes replacing air filters to prevent microbial growth and particulate circulation indoors, ensuring the condensate drain line is clear, checking operation of the sump pump if there is one, knowing where the main water shutoff is, inspecting line connections under sinks and toilets, testing all GFCI outlets, installing whole-home surge protection, and planning for power outage scenarios.
Stay safe Residents are encouraged to sign up for AlertSD, a countywide emergency alert system that sends notifications to a cell phone during emergencies. Additionally, downloading the Genasys Protect phone application, which shows the exact zones of an emergency and helps residents to get out and back home. Making additional emergency plans with the family is also recommended. Remember to include pets as well.

Green Thumb: Where North County’s garden dreams grow
A
giant polar bear wearing a lei sits among the flowers. Beyond him, archways frame new paths to explore, blossoms compete for attention and the gentle sound of fountains invites visitors to slow down. At Green Thumb Nursery in San Marcos, the discoveries begin before you have even decided what to shop for. Come for a few herbs, and you may find yourself contemplating a rose garden. Turn a corner, and an unfamiliar plant becomes the inspiration for an overlooked patio. With more than four acres to wander, this plant nursery in San Marcos makes room for the kind of browsing that turns errands into outings. That combination of wonder, selection and personal attention has earned Green Thumb Gold in The BEST of North County for four consecutive years. “Every time I visit, I can’t wait to get my hands dirty!” customer Craig Burns wrote in a Google review featured on the nursery’s website. Family-owned and operated, Green Thumb has served Southern California gardeners since 1946. Its San Marcos location carries that tradition forward with a welcoming atmosphere and a selection that rewards curiosity. The variety stretches from colorful annuals and perennials to roses, flowering shrubs and fruit trees, offering possibilities for a single patio pot or an entire backyard. Native plants, succulents, cacti and other drought-tolerant varieties inspire landscapes suited to North County’s climate, while vegetables and culinary herbs bring the promise of fresh ingredients just steps from the kitchen. For shoppers accustomed to big-box garden
departments, discovering varieties beyond the usual offerings is part of the fun. Gardeners can explore plants for sun and shade, browse supplies for ponds and water gardens, or find bird feeders and garden accents that bring another layer of life to the yard. Fresh plant shipments give returning visitors new reasons to explore. The greenhouse brings that same sense of possibility indoors. A first-time plant owner can find an approachable favorite, while a collector can browse exotic and hard-to-find houseplants. Colorful pottery, garden containers and larger planters help visitors picture each discovery in its new home. There is plenty to take in, but help is never far away. Green Thumb’s staff brings the enthusiasm of people who enjoy sharing what they know. A question about a leaf, a bloom or a struggling plant can become a useful conversation about light, soil and care. The team helps gardeners connect what catches their eye with what will work in their space. “Super knowledgeable and helpful staff as well!” customer Rick Campbell wrote in another Google review displayed on the nursery’s website. For gardeners who took up the hobby during the COVID-19 pandemic, that support can open the door to a new chapter. The first windowsill herbs may have sparked an interest in growing vegetables. A thriving houseplant may have inspired the confidence to bring a larger plant into another room. Here, those ambitions have somewhere to grow. Staff can help customers explore containers, choose plants for a different part of the home or think through a more substantial outdoor project. You do not need to arrive knowing all the termi-
nology. Bring your questions and an idea of the space you hope to transform. The inspiration extends beyond plants. Fountains, statuary, patio furniture and garden art add personality to outdoor spaces, while seasonal décor brings fresh reasons to visit throughout the year. Halloween and Christmas decorations, gifts and Department 56 collectibles make holiday browsing part of the San Marcos garden center experience, too. Visitors can keep the inspiration coming by subscribing to Green Thumb’s free
email newsletter through its website for special offers, coupons, gardening tips and information about classes. With so much to discover, even longtime customers can find themselves pausing over something new. Perhaps that is the real pleasure of Green Thumb: arriving with a little curiosity and leaving eager to get your hands in the soil. Visit Green Thumb Nursery at 1019 W. San Marcos Blvd., San Marcos. Call 760-744-3822 or visit Gre- THE GREENHOUSE at Green Thumb Nursery in San Marcos, enThumb.com. Allow a lit- with more than 4 acres to satisfy new or longtime gardeners.

WaterSmart winner
A VIEW of San Marcos resident Renee Robbins’ garden, which took first place for Vallecitos Water District in the regional WaterSmart Landscape Contest. Courtesy photo
As a Vallecitos customer for more than 45 years, Renee Robbins was excited to create a beautiful, water-wise garden. The yard was originally covered with old juniper, so Renee decided to replace it with more than 15-20 varieties of native and plants that require little water. At the center is a thriving fig tree that has become a favorite feature of the landscape.
She uses the compost to fertilize the garden, thanks to some help from her son, Jonathan, who earned his biodynamic farming certification. Renee chose to follow organic and biodynamic gardening practices, using compost and water wisely to support a healthy landscape. She also installed a drip irrigation system to deliver water efficiently.

MATTSON
CONTINUED FROM FRONT
home to his family and children. “My good friend, Micah Mattson, has been reported missing,” Pontius wrote on social media. “If anyone out there has information on his whereabouts, please call the number on this post. Anything to help bring him home to his family and kids.” Gloria Orejel, a spokesperson for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, confirmed to The Coast News that Mattson’s body was discovered on Aug. 31 near High Road and Del Oro Road in Lucerne Valley, about 150 yards from his vehicle. Mattson’s remains showed signs of severe decomposition, and the coroner’s division confirmed his identity, but law enforcement officials did not provide any other information. “The deceased we located was indeed Micah Mattson,” Orejel said. “It is unknown how long he was there. The cause and manner of death are pending.” When Jared and Micah’s longtime friend Ryan Wiley later visited the area together, they noticed water and supplies in his brother’s truck, but had no additional details related to the circumstances surrounding his death. “I don’t know what exactly happened to him,” Jared said.
Rock-n-roll dream
Mattson grew up in a family of five siblings: older brother Aaron, sister Sarah, Micah and younger twins Jared and Jonathan, near Moonlight Beach and Juanita’s Taco Shop in Encinitas. The family also spent part of their childhood in the Los Osos area on the Central Coast before returning to North County San Diego. As a student at San Dieguito High School, Mattson became friends with future Kut-U-Up bandmates Coté and Brendan Raasch through their shared interests in skateboarding, surfing and music. During the 1990s, Mattson became one of the first skaters in their circle to earn sponsorship and appear in skate videos. He rode for Zero Skateboards

and was part of the Encinitas Skate Posse, a group of local skaters — Kyle Leeper, Peter McBride, Oli Norris, Chris Lambert and Wiley — who filmed late-night sessions at empty grocery store parking lots and the YMCA skate park. Another popular hangout was the Santa Fe House, where Mattson lived across from the hospital on Santa Fe Drive. The home became a gathering place for local and visiting skaters and musicians. Local ramp builder Jeff King expanded the skating setup from the backyard into the rental home, building wooden transitions that let skaters ride up to the kitchen counter and roll down the hallway. “The whole house became skateable,” Raasch said. “It was like a young rock-and-roll dream.” As a skateboarder, Mattson was known for his speed, smooth style and willingness to try difficult drops, including attempting to ollie a gap near City Hall before getting “absolutely smashed” on the landing of a “crazy” steep embankment, according to Raasch. “He was always getting hurt,” Raasch said. “He was on crutches like half the time.”
experiences became the subject of a cult documentary, “Riding in Vans with Boys.” During a 2002 tour stop in Atlanta, Raasch and Mattson stepped into a hotel elevator and found themselves riding with Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston. Raasch started to introduce himself and Mattson, but Brown interjected, informing the friends that he already knew their band. When the elevator doors opened, they emerged chatting with Brown and Houston, which amused their tourmates. For Raasch, the encounter was one of many memorable experiences with Mattson. “Some of the best times I’ve had in my life were with that guy,” Raasch said. “A lot of the best stories that I have to tell in my life include Micah, and I’m pretty sure that there’s a lot of other people that would be the same way.” Bandmates described Mattson as a creative guitarist and singer who also became an early member of Yovee, a melodic indie rock and folk-inspired band with a mellower, Americana-style sound.
“Micah wrote some of the coolest parts of the music for our band,” Coté said. “He was a really unique guitar player.” Mattson’s musical influence extended to his younger brothers, who went on to form the instrumental psych-jazz duo, Mattson Two. Jared remembered listening to his older brother play along with Metallica and Smashing Pumpkins and sneaking into his room to listen to his CDs, a catalog that helped shape the twins’ early musical tastes. Mattson also pushed his younger brothers to spend less time playing video games, often taking them outside to play football in the rain and encouraging their mother to arrange guitar lessons. By 15, Jared recalled spending an entire day learning the guitar solo from Ozzy Osbourne’s “Diary of a Madman” when Micah’s truck pulled into the driveway. Micah came into the room, put both hands on his head, stared wide-eyed at his younger brother and said, “Oh my god,” before declaring that Jared had surpassed him as a guitarist. “That moment was a huge deal for me, something that I remember to this day,” Jared said. Micah later introduced the twins to Thomas Campbell, a self-taught artist, filmmaker and skate photographer who was also co-owner of Galaxia, an independent Santa Cruz record label that released music by Tommy Guerrero, Ray Barbee, Bonnie “Prince” Billy and the Black Heart Procession, among others. During a band rehearsal, Jared recalled Micah walking into the twins’ room, holding out a phone, smiling silently and giving them a thumbs-up. Campbell had been listening on
After high school, Mattson, Coté and Raasch formed Kut U Up. The indie punk band performed at local venues, including the Casbah and Kraken, before touring with Blink-182 and Green Day, where their road

Mattson also worked for years as an Amtrak conductor, a career that grew from his love of travel, touring with the band and the writings of Jack Kerouac. “He just liked to live on the road. I think that’s where he preferred to be,” Raasch said. But Mattson’s railroad career also exposed him to traumatic experiences. Jared said his brother struggled with post-traumatic stress after encountering deaths on the tracks while working as a train conductor. Amtrak engineer Philip Lombardo, who worked with Mattson, expressed sadness for Mattson’s death on behalf of his railroad colleagues. “I worked with Micah at Amtrak, and wanted to express how sad I am, and everyone at the railroad is feeling,” Lombardo wrote in a message. “Really, really loved being his engineer.
GREAT guy. The only guy I’ve ever met that in the middle of a railroading crisis would turn to me and say, ‘Phil, did you ever experience beantooth?’” Outside work and music, Mattson spent much of his time surfing, camping and riding his bicycle. Coté recalled trips to Baja California and long-distance bike rides, including one from San Francisco to San Diego. Mattson’s vehicle was often packed with a bicycle, surfboard, skateboard and camping equipment, always ready for another adventure. If he wasn’t driving, cycling or skating, Mattson was known to keep friends company on long drives. “He was so curious about everything, and just down for whatever,” Coté said. Since Mattson’s death, social media messages from friends around the world have shown how many people felt a connection to him, including some who had met him only a few times. Friends have also started an online fundraiser to support the Mattson family and help with funeral expenses. “Micah was a sweetheart, and it was awesome to film him around Encinitas at spots he’d been skating and dreaming about since he was a kid.,” wrote Jamie Thomas, founder of Zero Skateboards and longtime friend of Mattson. “I’m grateful for every moment we shared, and he will be dearly missed.” As a silver lining, the loss of Mattson has since prompted friends to check in more often and make a greater effort to stay involved in one another’s lives, Coté said. For Jared, the memories have only reinforced the admiration for his older brother. “Micah is my hero,” Jared said.

the other line and visited the next day to hear them play in person. Thus began a relationship that helped the brothers continue developing their music and reach new audiences. Campbell later bought them about $100 worth of CDs at Lou’s Records in Leucadia, introducing the twins to a wider range of musical influences, and invited them to perform at an art show in Los Angeles featuring artists Barry McGee and Stephen Powers — marking the first performance by the Mattson Two. Jared credits his brother’s introduction to Campbell with helping put the brothers on a path that eventually took them to Chicago to record at the home of Tortoise drummer John McEntire. “Micah just had a huge impact on my life,” Jared said.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. 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. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Starting March 1, 2026, Federal Law may prohibit ZBS Law from issuing a Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale in connection with this trustee’s sale until information about the winning bidder is reported to the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. See, 31 CFR § 1031.320 (https:// w w w. e c f r. g o v /c u r r e n t / title-31/subtitle-B/chapter-X/ par t-1031/subpar t- C/ section-1031.320). If this trustee’s sale qualifies as a “reportable transfer” under 31 CFR § 1031.320(b), and you, as buyer, qualify as a “transferee entity” under 31 CFR § 1031.320(e)(1) or “transferee trust” under 31 CFR § 1031.320(e)(2), you will be obligated to provide information about the Beneficial Owner(s) of the transferee to ZBS Law or ZBS Law’s designated representative. If you qualify as an exempt entity or trust under 31 CFR § 1031.320(n) (10-(11), you may be required to provide evidence of the exemption supported by a

2 school arrests in San Marcos By Jim Trageser
SAN MARCOS — Two students were arrested Aug. 31 in separate incidents at San Marcos High School and Mission Hills High School, including one involving a knife and another that left a sheriff’s deputy with a minor injury, authorities said. At San Marcos High School, deputies responding to a report of bathroom vandalism restrained a student in a classroom. The student told deputies he had a knife, according to an emailed statement from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office. “On Aug. 31, just after 10:30 a.m., a San Marcos High School student was witnessed committing vandalism on campus while inside one of the bathrooms. Deputies from the San Marcos Sheriff’s Station arrived at the school and contacted the student in a classroom, but the student became uncooperative,” the Sheriff’s Office said. “The student had to be physically restrained to prevent injury to anyone else in the classroom. The student admitted to deputies he was in possession of a knife. Deputies arrested the student for vandalism and possession of a weapon at school.” At Mission Hills High School, a dispute involving three students led to an arrest after one student allegedly threatened another and resisted a school resource deputy’s attempt to detain them, causing a minor injury to the deputy, law enforcement officials said. “On Aug. 31, just before 1:30 p.m., two students at Mission Hills High School were involved in a verbal altercation. Student 1 challenged Student 2 to a fight, but Student 2 walked away. Later that day, Student 2’s friend (Student 3) approached Student 1, and they challenged each other to fight. Students 1 and 3 had to be separated by campus security. “A Sheriff’s School Resource Deputy arrived on scene and witnessed Student 1 threaten to physically harm Student 3 after they were separated. The Student Resource Deputy attempted to detain Student 1, but they resisted and caused a minor injury to the deputy. Student 1 was arrested for obstructing/resisting a peace officer and for battery on school grounds.” The Sheriff’s Office declined to identify the students, citing its policy regarding minors. A San Marcos Unified School District spokesperson said administrators coordinated with law enforcement in responding to both incidents. “School administrators worked with our School Resource Officers on both matters, which were handled in accordance with established school safety protocols.”

September 12, 2026
Thomas Philipp Speelmans passed on September 12, 2026 after a brief illness. Thomas, son of Frank and Edith Speelmans, was born on April 19, 1956 in Santiago, Chile. At age five his parents returned to Germany for several years before emigrating to Illinois for
his father’s work. Another relocation brought the family to Katonah, N.Y. During his high school years, he pursued, among many interests, his lifelong love of aviation. At 18 years old he earned his pilot’s license, an accomplishment that foreshadowed the career he would follow. After graduating from Purdue University in 1978, Thomas began his career in the aviation industry. His professional journey took him to American Avitron, Lear Siegler and eventually TWA in New York City. With TWA he had opportunities to travel extensively which expanded his appreciation for travel, aviation and the many cultures he encountered along the way.

In 1985, turmoil within the airline industry led Thomas to a career change and he joined Flying Tigers at LAX airport. Four years later he took another important step by striking out on his own as an independent aviation consultant and contractor, drawing on his extensive experience and knowledge of airline operations and fueling facilities. In 1997 Thomas relocated from Los Angeles to San Diego, beginning a new chapter in both his personal and professional life. He met his wife Heidi in 1998 and they married in 2005. The years also brought them many riches in the form of their growing family. Thomas was looking forward to retiring from

When not focusing on his career, Thomas was a gourmet cook, a yogi, a gardener, a blacksmith and a dog lover. The beach was his happy place. (A private scattering ceremony will be held.)

He spent his career as a tool designer for Convair. John’s passion for baseball was a defining aspect of his life; he was not only an avid fan but also a dedicated coach. He spent countless hours coaching Little and Pony Leagues, inspiring and mentoring young players with his enthusiasm and love for the game. His influence on the field was matched by his creativity and joy in fly-

John shared a beautiful life with his devoted wife, Frances, and together they raised three wonderful children: Stephen, Darryl, and John. His family was his pride and joy, and he cherished every moment spent with them, creating memories that will be treasured forever. As we remember John, let us hold close the love and laughter he shared with us. His legacy will live on in our hearts, a testament to a life well-lived. Services are being planned.

Mulberry Nails adds a fresh touch to Encinitas
Y
our next favorite nail appointment might begin with something you barely notice: the air. At Mulberry Nails in Encinitas, there is no familiar acetone smell greeting you at the door. Instead, warm orange chairs, soft lighting and thoughtful details invite you to settle in, choose your treatment and let the rest of the day wait. The new woman-owned studio on Coast Highway 101 brings a resort-spa feeling to an everyday beauty ritual, pairing European-inspired clean beauty standards with an unmistakably California sense of ease. For founder NJ, the vision is personal. “I wanted to create a space for women to come and disconnect and give themselves some self-care,” she said. Excited to call Encinitas home, the owners describe an experience considered from every angle. As NJ’s husband Mike explains, the sense of wellness should extend from the surroundings and the air guests breathe

to the products used during their appointments. Some details are immediately apparent. Others quietly support the experience: dual HEPA filters, a new window for fresh airflow and a dedicated clean room where, according to the owners, instruments undergo
surgical-grade sterilization. Even the walnut knobs serving as bathroom hangers reflect the thought behind the space. A complimentary beverage offered to guests adds another touch of hospitality. Together, those choices make an ordinary grooming appointment feel more
like a small escape. That same intentionality shapes Mulberry’s approach to clean beauty nail care. Its waterless manicures and waterless pedicures replace soaking bowls with hot towel cleansing and softening treatments. Guests still
receive the shaping, attention and finishing touches they expect, delivered through a different kind of ritual. The signature manicure combines tailored shaping, cuticle care, hydration and polish. The pedicure adds callus buffing and a renewing scrub — welcome attention for feet that spend plenty of time in sandals. For those who love an understated look, the MulBARE-y manicure and pedicure skip polish in favor of smoothing, a high-shine buff and nourishing cuticle oil. Natural nails take center stage throughout the studio’s menu, which leaves out acrylics, dip powder and artificial extensions. Color lovers have plenty to look forward to, too. Under the Mulberry Commitment, every shade meets the studio’s minimum “10-free” standard. Scrubs and lotions are carefully vetted and intentionally selected, extending that philosophy beyond the polish bottle. The commitment also includes a practical promise: a seven-day, no-chip, gel-like
finish, guaranteed by the studio. Guests can personalize their appointments with a French Manicure, minimalist nail designs or a Dazzle Dry polish upgrade that delivers a gel-like look without an LED lamp. The setting also lends itself to shared occasions. Consider a private gathering for a corporate wellness day, a team-building outing, a wedding celebration or a birthday with friends. A little pampering offers an appealing way to bring people together, and the studio welcomes inquiries about reserving the space for a group. For neighbors discovering Mulberry, the invitation is simple: Give yourself permission to pause, enjoy the details and leave with nails you cannot wait to show off. Ready to experience it? Book a nail appointment in Encinitas at mulberrynails. com or call 760-704-8195. Find Mulberry Nails at 960 S. Coast Highway 101, Suite 104. Come welcome a new local business — and discover a little self-care worth making part of your routine.
Great smiles never go out of style
F
inding your favorite beach is the easy part of moving to Encinitas. Finding a dentist who makes you feel as comfortable as the one you trusted for years? That can take a little longer. Dr. Claudia Cortadi wants to make that introduction easier. At Ablantis Dental, new faces are welcomed with conversation, personal attention and something people might not expect from a dental visit: a good laugh. The Encinitas dentist and her team are celebrating recognition in this year’s Best of North County, an honor she credits to the patients who have helped make the practice feel like family. “It means so much because it came from our patients,” Cortadi said. “I’ve been practicing dentistry for more than 25 years, and knowing that our patients took the time to vote for us makes me incredibly grateful.” For newcomers and longtime neighbors alike, that relationship starts with being heard. “We take the time to get to know the person, not just their teeth,” she said. Someone may arrive missing a dentist they loved. Another may be ready to discuss a concern they have quietly worked around for years. Cortadi wants both to feel comfortable asking questions, explaining their priorities and taking time to understand their choices. Her outgoing personality helps. Conversations turn to shared interests, family updates and jokes. Sometimes, she said, a patient arrives

nervous and is laughing with her within minutes. “Changing that feeling from anxiety to trust is one of my favorite parts of what I do,” she said. That welcome is a team effort, and Cortadi wants the people beside her to share in the Best of North County celebration. Gabriela has worked alongside her for 20 years, helping establish the practice’s family feeling. Selena brings energy and care to the clinical team. Jessica helps patients navigate insurance behind the scenes. “Every person on our team contributes to making patients feel welcomed and cared for,” Cortadi said. They remember family stories, vacations and what is happening in patients’ lives. Those conversations help make the next visit feel familiar.
For many patients over 50, the discussion eventually turns to the bigger picture. After having dental work completed a little at a time over many years, they want to know how everything fits together. Their questions are practical and personal: How can they keep their teeth, eat comfortably, replace missing teeth and enjoy a smile that looks natural? Ablantis Dental offers preventive cleanings and exams, fillings, same-day porcelain crowns, dental implants and cosmetic dentistry, including whitening and veneers. For patients with several concerns, Cortadi discusses comprehensive treatment plans that address comfort, function and appearance. She encourages patients to ask about worn, broken or missing teeth instead of as-
suming those concerns are simply something to accept with age. The goal might be enjoying a favorite food again or smiling freely in family photographs. After larger restorative or smile treatments, she often hears the same reaction: “Why did I wait so long?” Getting started begins with a conversation. A consultation gives patients time to explain what bothers them, discuss possible treatments and decide whether the practice feels right. “There is no pressure,” Cortadi said. “I want patients to understand their choices and feel comfortable before making decisions.” Ready to find your dental home in Encinitas? Ablantis Dental is welcoming new patients with a $128 special that includes an exam and digital X-rays. It’s an opportunity to get to know Dr. Cortadi and the team behind this year’s recognition. Call 760-334-0128 or visit AblantisDental.com to ask about the offer and schedule your appointment. The practice is at 351 Santa Fe Drive, Suite 110, in Encinitas.
