VISTA — A woman who ran a dog boarding and training business out of her home in Vista allegedly kept dozens ofRANCHO dogs in tiny kennels in her garage, SFNEWS deprived them of food and water for up to 20 hours at a time and left them bloody and severely injured, according to a lawsuit filed in Vista Superior Court. The complaint alleges RUSSELL that Vista resident Lauren Russell “refused to use harnesses provided (by owners) and instead would apply her collars to yank the dogs by the neck, would kick and scream at dogs, use shock collars, slam doors on them, and engage in other extremely abusive behavior,” according to a declaration by former employee Lexi Siwecki, who left after a month working for Russell. Lucky Pups Dog Rescue and four dog owners who had previously used Russell’s home setup for boarding — Jenna Allers, Sherry Bowman, Patricia Crowson and Sami Jo McClish — brought a civil case forward in September in hopes of shutting down Russell’s business.

Del Mar approves River Path extension plan Path shovel-ready despite $1.4 million budget shortfall By Laura Place
DEL MAR — The city of Del Mar has approved plans for a 2,000-foot pedestrian path along the San Dieguito Lagoon, the third and final phase of its multiyear River Path project. The planned path will extend from the existing trail along the lagoon, ending at the Grand Avenue Overlook, stretching southeast to the Crest Canyon Reserve Trail entrance at Racetrack View Drive. It will include 700 feet of decomposed granite pathway, around 1,300 feet of planked boardwalk, fencing, and a pedestrian crosswalk across San Dieguito Drive. Once completed, the path can be used for pedestrians to walk, jog, bike and birdwatch while enjoying the lagoon’s natural beauty, according to the city. The City Council discussed the project in depth on Sept. 18 and adopted design plans by Michael Baker International on Oct. 3. “We’re looking at something that is going to bring joy to so many people’s lives,” Councilmember Terry Gaasterland said at the September meeting. Del Mar completed the first two phases of the River Path project in 2015 and 2016, establishing pedestrian paths for segments between Camino del Mar and the Grand Avenue Overlook. The third phase will connect critical parts

A perspective on Tri-City
A
By Jack Cumming
ttending a board meeting at TriCity Medical Center these days is a somber affair. The neonatal unit has closed. The board is largely political. But even Rocky Chavez, the leading board politician, could not prevent LAFCO from redistricting births away from Tri-City, leading to the pall of loss and sadness that now hangs over the place.
communities it serves? The new CEO, Dr. Gene Ma, works hard and does his best. The talk is that there is a plan to revive the place. Someone mentioned an “affiliation,” whatever that might mean. But meantime, the hospital serves roughly just 120 inpatients. North County has many hospitals. There are two Palomar hospitals, Scripps Encinitas, leaving many Medicare Advantage Plan seniors in the lurch,
ly.
By its nature, the buildings are already adapted to universal design (a design that accommodates people of all ability levels). One can imagine refurbishing and repurposing the hospital buildings as affordable housing, a growing need for the community. In the meantime, the elected board reflects current political interests — those of hospital workers and other politically correct
The board of directors couldn’t prevent the redistricting of births away from Tri-City, leading to the pall of loss and sadness that now hangs over the place. The bright spot at the recent meeting on Sept. 28 was Jennifer Paroly, the capable leader of the Tri-City Hospital Foundation, who gave a sparkling account of the upcoming gala on Nov. 11. One wonders why such a talented person is in a fundraising and social role while the strategic needs of the hospital are so pressing. The other cogent moment during the meeting was a resident who pleaded with the board and the administration to share more with the community. The resident suggested regular, open-discussion town hall meetings. I don’t know if that much citizen input is permitted under the strictures of the Brown Act, but it sounded like a good idea. This resident also suggested that there should be a periodic State of the Hospital report to the community. Why, he asked, didn’t the hospital rouse community outrage to make LAFCO aware of the destructive political action it was positioned to take to the detriment of Tri-City and the
and now Kaiser’s new hospital in San Marcos. That leaves Tri-City’s Emergency Department to serve the time-critical needs of residents in Carlsbad, Vista and Oceanside. It may not be a trauma center, but it serves roughly 4,000 people a month who go there when they have a fright or worse. One can imagine keeping the Emergency Department to stabilize time-critical medical needs, with the stricken subsequently transported to a medical center of excellence where they could get high-order treatment. There is also a local need for the recently activated outpatient behavioral unit, which attracted Chavez to serve the hospital, and it is a cause that he has served well. That leaves the rest of the substantial and valuable acreage that the Medical Center now occupies. There is a need for adaptive housing for disabled veterans, others needing affordable housing, and middle-income older people who can no longer live independent-
constituencies — rather than a carefully recruited board with the skills and qualifications needed to bring excellence and high standards to the business and medical direction of the medical center. That has not been a mix that has brought the community the successful medical center that local citizens should expect. The sad malaise of defeatism was apparent during the short, perfunctory board meeting on Sept. 28. A visitor at this dismal proceeding, made less meaningful by the conversation-stagnating influence of the Brown Act, came away saddened and discouraged. Can Tri-City Medical Center find new life in a metamorphosis that makes the community proud? Time will tell. Jack Cumming is a Carlsbad resident and health care actuary experienced in health care finance. Cumming has long volunteered to support TriCity Medical Center and its community mission.
wo things you can count on when it comes to ballyhooed state forecasts on things like California’s housing and population: They’ll be incompetent and inconsistent. Usually, they will also be outdated even before they’re issued. For years, this state has plagued its cities and counties with inaccurate, vastly varying predictions of housing need. In 2018, the state’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) predicted California would need to build 3.5 million new housing units by 2025. Four years of unpredicted population loss followed. HCD never listed this as a reason, but by 2021, it was saying the need had dropped to 1.8 million living spaces. This year, despite more net out-migration from the Golden State, the projected housing need was back up again, this time to 2.5 million. The state offered no explanation for its inconsistency, apparently expecting no one to remember the previous estimates, none of which developers came anywhere near fulfilling. Now it’s the turn of the population forecasters in the state’s Department of Finance. Ten years ago, they predicted tremendous California growth, apparently not noticing that most cities were already pretty well built out, and that massive population growth would either have to land in huge new swaths of urban sprawl or spur tearing down and rebuilding in existing neighborhoods to make them far more dense. There’s been no population growth, but policymakers in the Legislature have nevertheless chosen to pursue density, virtually all their new housing laws aiming to encourage more crowded living conditions and assuming that those in the new buildings will own few cars and use mass transit. Of course, mass transit usership has not risen notably even as new construction arose near light rail stops. So much for that forecast. Where the Finance Department in 2013 predicted California would have 52.7 million residents by 2060, it now figures the number will be 39.51 million, just about the same as today. But wait: This forecast turns out not worth the many sheets of paper on which it was printed. For lo and behold, there’s now large-scale buyers’ remorse among California emigres in places like Austin and Dallas, Texas; Tucson and Glendale, Ariz.; and several parts of Florida. Californians moved to those places in droves immediately before and during the coronavirus

pandemic. Charmed at first by Austin, where many hightech workers moved when the virus freed them from working in offices, they’re now finding it difficult to move easily from gig to gig as they could in places like Silicon Valley and the Irvine area of Orange County. That’s because while there’s a fair amount of technology innovation in Austin, the California technology hubs remain dominant in their industry, providing far more options for switching jobs without risking long-term unemployment. Some emigres also complain about the central Texas weather, featuring many more 100-degree summer days and far colder winters than they experienced in California. But once you sell a California home and turn your equity into a larger Texas manse, it can be difficult to move back without a major drop in standard of living. So there’s less potential mobility for emigres who left their previous options behind. And so one recent survey of Austin newcomers saw many yearning to return to California. It’s much the same in cities like Orlando, Fla., and Tucson, both of which attracted many Californians with lower-priced, more sumptuous housing than they could afford in coastal parts of California. There’s suddenly a strong possibility many of the recent California emigres will move back, even if it means enduring a somewhat lower standard of living for a while. But the reports indicating this likelihood came after release of the California Finance Department forecast. So the state forecast was probably outmoded before it was printed. California growth likely will rebound, but probably not soon to levels seen from 1950 to 2010. That’s partly because this state has become denser than before and thus less attractive to many folks who seek green surroundings. All of which should reassure property owners who would love to get rid of the many vacancy signs on new apartment buildings coming online every week in California, and demonstrates the error of assuming that today’s trends will continue indefinitely.

Kaiser strikers wrap up
Tech exec pleads guilty to fraud role By City News Service
Employees return without contract, may strike again By Laura Place
REGION — Days after the completion of a historic three-day strike by Kaiser Permanente health care workers, union representatives announced they are prepared to strike again if an agreement isn’t reached by the end of the month. Around 75,000 Kaiser Permanente workers in California, Colorado, Oregon, Virginia, Washington and Washington, D.C. returned to work last weekend after carrying out a three-day work stoppage last week from Oct. 4-6, in what was called the largest health care worker strike in history. Bargaining was set to resume on Oct. 12 and 13, and employees have made it clear they are not backing down. The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions served official notice to Kaiser officials on Oct. 9 that another strike, this time lasting one full week, could begin Nov. 1 if negotiations are not successful by then. “Healthcare workers have made clear they hope not to strike again, and that while taking the legal steps necessary to prepare for that possibility, they are primarily focused on encouraging Kaiser executives to follow the law and to listen to the needs of patients and healthcare workers who are buckling under the current short staffing crisis within Kaiser facilities,” the Coalition said in a statement. Kaiser officials confirmed that they received notice of the potential second strike, and said they are ready to resume negotiations. “We are scheduled to return to the bargaining table on October 12 and Kaiser Permanente remains committed to reaching an agreement that is good for our employees, our members, and our organization, and we will continue to bargain in good faith with the Coalition,” said Kaiser spokesperson Jennifer Dailard. Around 4,500 San Diego region Kaiser employees participated in last week’s action, lining the streets at 6 a.m. on Oct. 4 outside of Kaiser hospitals including Zion and San Diego medical centers, San Marcos Medical Center, Palomar Medical Center, and Tri-City Medical Center. “We’re making history today,” said Carlsbad licensed vocational nurse Catherine Engler, speaking outside of Kaiser’s new San Marcos hospital that opened in August. “Our members love their jobs and TURN TO KAISER ON 13

O’side split on density cap By Samantha Nelson
OCEANSIDE — After failing to set a new limit on downtown housing density last week, the City Council will again discuss potentially capping residential developments between 85 and 100 units per acre later this month. In 2019, the council changed its downtown density cap from 43 units per acre to unlimited density. The change, in combination with the state’s density bonus law, led to development projects far denser than anticipated, such as the 712 Seagaze project, an eight-story development with 115 studio apartments and 64 hotel rooms on a 0.36-acre lot downtown. According to Manuel Baeza, a principal planner with the city, the Seagaze project created a density of about 321 units per acre. “Changes to the state density bonus law limited the city’s ability to apply development standards (building height, setbacks, parking) without penalties, thereby enabling such high-density projects with multiple code waivers,” Baeza told the City Council on Oct. 4. As a remedy, staff proposed to set a new cap at 100 units per acre for mixed-use projects downtown. To incentivize developers to build more affordable housing, staff also recommended allowing a 75% density bonus on top of that 100-unit limit if they include 15% affordable housing for very low-income households or 20% low-income and a 35% density bonus at 30% moderate income. According to City Planner Sergio Madera, if the staff’s suggestion was approved, downtown projects could exceed 200 units if developers invoke the maximum density bonus allowed. Under the state’s den-

sity bonus law, a developer is permitted to build 50% more units than would otherwise be allowed if at least 15% of units under the base density are reserved for very low-income, 24% for low-income, or 44% for moderate-income. Density bonus projects are generally between 35% and 50%. While Councilmember Eric Joyce acknowledged staff made a “worthy effort” to address the rapidly increasing density downtown, he felt the 100-unit cap was a 200-unit cap in disguise that added far more above-market rate homes than affordable housing. “The redundancy is we’re saying we’re getting 25% affordable units but doubling the market rate units, so it’s not really 25% affordability,” Joyce said. For Joyce, going with the city’s inclusionary housing requirement – which currently requires developers to include 10% affordable units in a proj-
ect and will soon bump up to 15% – would be a better deal, leading to more affordable housing with smaller, less dense projects. These projects still invoke the state’s density bonus law, adding more market-rate units. Joyce originally suggested bumping the cap to 75 units per acre before amending it to 85 units instead. He intended to ensure downtown developments wouldn’t exceed 150 units per acre under density bonus. “We need smart and reasonable housing,” Joyce said. Deputy Mayor Ryan Keim disagreed with Joyce’s reasoning, explaining that developers need to add more market-rate units to compensate for the money lost in building affordable units. “Affordable housing is not free,” Keim said. “All that stuff costs money. If we’re going to provide af-
fordable housing, there has to be density. I’m fine with not having affordable housing in the coastal zone, but we have to realize that with what you’re proposing we’re not going to get affordable housing downtown… it’s easy to come up here and have these ideas and say we want affordable housing, but we want to fit the neighborhood scale. At a certain point, we’ve got to pick one or the other.” Joyce’s motion to set an 85-unit cap, striking staff’s suggested incentives, died for lack of a second. Councilmember Peter Weiss’s motion to establish an 85-unit cap with the incentives failed following a 2-2 vote, with Weiss and Councilmember Rick Robinson in favor and Joyce and Keim opposed. Mayor Esther Sanchez was absent from the meeting due to an illness. The council will resume discussion on the density cap in downtown on Oct. 18, per city code.
REGION — The lead investor of a company that was sold to San Diego's Qualcomm for more than $150 million – which prosecutors allege was part of a fraudulent scheme involving one of Qualcomm's former employees – pleaded guilty on Oct. 5 to a federal money laundering charge. Ali Akbar Shokouhi, 64, of San Diego, was charged last year for his role in allegedly selling a microchip technology startup known as Abreezio to the San Diego tech giant in 2015. Though the sales pitch represented that Abreezio's technology was invented by a Canadian grad student, prosecutors said it was not disclosed that the student was the sister of one of Shokouhi's co-defendants, Karim Arabi. Arabi actually created the technology at issue and did so while working as a vice president of research and development at Qualcomm, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Prosecutors said Arabi's employment agreements held that inventions he created would belong to Qualcomm, so the defendants hid his involvement with Abreezio. Shokouhi, also a former Qualcomm employee, was actively involved in obscuring Arabi's connection to Abreezio, according to his plea agreement. This included referring to Arabi by another name in his text messages with co- defendants. Abreezio's ex-CEO, Sanjiv Taneja, 60, of Cupertino, also pleaded guilty earlier this year to a money laundering charge. Once Qualcomm began investigating the transaction, Arabi told Taneja to delete their email correspondences, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. Prosecutors say the defendants laundered the money they received from the Abreezio sale through foreign real estate purchases and interest-free loans. Shokouhi and Taneja await sentencing, while Arabi remains charged and is due back in court next month.

Solana Beach superintendent, trustee leave roles By Laura Place
SOLANA BEACH — The Solana Beach School District has announced the retirement of Superintendent Jodee Brentlinger and the resignation of longtime school board trustee Vicki King, leaving a vacancy that will be filled via an appointment process. Brentlinger will retire in early January after five and a half years at the district’s helm and 35 total years working in public education, the district announced Sept. 29. “My time in SBSD has afforded me the opportunity to combine my passion for students with phenomenal teachers, support personnel, leadership, an active and supportive parent community, and a dedicated Board of Education; all equally focused and com-
mitted to student success,” Brentlinger said. She said she decided to part ways from the district in order to be closer to family who she has been “physically separated from for an extended period of time.” Board President Debra Schade commended Brentlinger for her commitment to prioritizing student voices by leading the creation of a new district vision and student promotion profile. Brentlinger was also committed to seeing through campus modernization efforts promised under Measure JJ, and improving communication across the district, Schade said. “Superintendent Brentlinger will be greatly missed, however we are grateful her legacy leaves the District in an excellent

position to continue and build upon her accomplishments under new leadership,” Schade said. Staff is initiating the process of searching for a new superintendent, which will involve opportunities for community input, the district said. Seventeen-year board
member King also shared the news of her resignation last week, stating that her last board meeting will be Nov. 8. She said that after much consideration, she will be moving on from district governance to pursue a career as an educational consultant. “I wanted to have a
greater impact, and in order to have this greater impact, I couldn’t be on the board,” King said. “It’s exciting and it’s kind of difficult, because it's been a tremendous experience all around with the district.” She said the district accomplishments she is most proud of from her tenure include providing scratchmade meals for students through the child nutrition program, passing the $105 million Measure JJ bond to modernize campuses, and the way the district came together to support students during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. “There’s a lot I’ve learned, and we really have an incredible district and leadership, from the board all the way down to every single staff member.

Encinitas forms new commission

ENCINITAS — The Encinitas City Council appointed seven representatives to the new Public Health and Safety Commission during its Sept. 27 meeting. The commission’s directive to identify public health and safety concerns, recommend solutions to the City Council and promote cooperation between law enforcement and other entities is intentionally broad, according to Mayor Tony Kranz. “Folks sitting on this commission have a wide berth in which direction they want to take, which topics they want to discuss, and I’m looking forward to letting these seven commissioners steer the ship,” Kranz said. Kranz recommended Lauren Andrade, Alex Dominguez, James Morton, Robin Sales, Marlon Taylor, Daniel Vaughn and Mali Woods-Drake to the commission. The council approved the list 4-1, with Councilmember Bruce Ehlers in opposition. “I don’t think it represents a cross-section of the citizens of Encinitas,” Ehlers said. “I thought it was overly weighted to folks appointed to the Equity Committee.” Three of the seven — Woods-Drake, Taylor and Sales — served on the city’s now-defunct Equity Committee, established in 2021 in response to a Minneapolis police officer killing George Floyd and ensuing calls to examine systemic racism. The Equity Committee spent a year discussing inclusiveness and accessibility in Encinitas. The committee and its recommendations to the city, which included creating the Public Health and Safety Commission, were controversial. Some insisted the commission was unnecessary,
attempt to include more minority voices. The Equity Committee’s final recommendations issued in May 2022 covered a broad spectrum of issues, including advising to issue a proclamation on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, hiring a DEI leader, requiring at least one woman or one person of color in each applicant pool for boards and commissions, improving accessibility of city communications, including renters in housing conversations and increasing utilization of the Mobile Crisis Response Team. While some residents worried the Equity Committee would encourage decreasing funding to law enforcement, that was not recommended. The Public Health and Safety Commission may revisit some of these same areas. Kranz said the commission might explore law enforcement, fire safety issues, homelessness, housing and mental health. Kranz is pleased that Andrade, an Orange County Fire Authority fire captain, and Dominguez, a former commanding lieutenant at the San Diego County Sheriff’s Fallbrook substation, will bring a law enforcement perspective to the commission. “I will tell you that any conversations that hint at defunding the police, I will proactively squelch because that’s a non-starter for me,” Kranz said.

Casita Center celebrates National Blue Ribbon award By Laura Place
VISTA — The Casita Center for Technology, Science and Math is celebrating its recognition as a 2023 National Blue Ribbon School, an award given to around 300 schools nationwide. Casita is a public magnet school in the Vista Unified School District with an International Baccalaureate Primary Years program and a focus on STEM. It was one of two schools in San Diego County chosen for the award. The United States Department of Education selects Blue Ribbon Schools each year. The award focuses on high-performing schools and those making great strides in closing student achievement gaps. Most recipients are elementary schools and a small number of middle and high schools. For Casita, it was their first time being selected. “This recognition is a testament to the incredible learning environment
that our staff, learners, and community members have created by working together and continually striving for academic excellence and innovation,” said Casita principal Jenny Chien. On Oct. 6, the campus was a sea of blue as students and staff celebrated their Blue Ribbon status with music, dance performances, speeches by district leaders, and campus tours. Students spoke about the things they love about the school, including its various learning spaces concentrated on the environment, communications and broadcasting, Spanish language, art, the night sky, and economics. Within the school’s sustainability lab, students can access handson learning in the 2-acre schoolyard habitat, which also doubles as an ongoing restoration project of wetland and coastal sage scrub ecosystems.
10,000-square-foot botanical garden with California native plants and fruit trees, allowing for even more environmental science learning and further lessons in the kitchen lab. “I think the thing that makes Casita a special place for learning is definitely the labs,” said Coraline, a Casita fifth grader. “Let me just say, I wasn’t surprised to hear that we won this award.” Casita also received a certificate of special recognition from Congressman Mike Levin (D-California), congratulating them for their award. “All teachers, staff and students should be extremely proud of this accomplishment,” Levin said in a video message. Three hundred and thirteen schools nationwide were named Blue Ribbon Schools, both public and non-public.

OCEANSIDE — The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has awarded Oceanside $201,000 for the city’s Water Recycling and Desalination Planning Project. Oceanside received the award after applying for WaterSMART funding to investigate expanding water reuse and increasing water recharge, according to the city’s water utilities department on Oct. 4. The federal funding will be used to evaluate the expanded use of treated effluent at the San Luis Rey Water Reclamation Facility to produce recycled water, and expansion of the Advanced Water Purification Facility for groundwater recharge and higher quality recycled water and seawater desalination, according to the city. “The city of Oceanside is focused on water reliability by ensuring resources are used efficiently and sustainably,” said Lindsay Leahy, water utilities director. “Expanding water reuse and groundwater recharge will provide our community with local, reliable and drought-resistant supplies well into the future.” According to a city statement, the study will “allow for the city to prioritize and plan infrastructure projects to gain greater water independence as we advance towards the city council’s goal of a 50% local water supply by 2023.” “As we confront climate challenges and the persistence of drought conditions, the city of Oceanside’s water recycling and desalination planning project is critically important to preserve water and ensure residents have reliable water sources,” said Rep. Mike Levin, D-Dana Point.

social media in August, and complaints came to the County of San Diego Department of Animal Services as early as February. A judge granted a temporary restraining order in mid-September, ordering Russell not to keep any dogs that are not her own in her care until the court can hear the matter and make a more permanent decision. The next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 13 at 10:30 a.m. Based on past behavior, the plaintiffs have said they worried that Russell will continue to operate her fraudulent dog boarding business. According to the plaintiffs’ complaint, Russell routinely misrepresented her business, which she ran out of her home in Vista. She doesn’t have a business or kennel license and has forged a diploma and college transcript from the University of Hawaii, falsely claiming that she has a degree in animal science, the complaint said. Russell also allegedly used at least eight business names and produced fake Google and Yelp reviews to drown out negative reviews from customers like Allers, Bowman, Crowson and McClish. Allers’ dog, Forrest, stayed with Russell for five days and returned wet, shaking and visibly scared, Allers said. He had six foxtails and 38 burs in his fur, a rash over his abdomen, blood in one of his ears and a limp. Bowman’s dog, Avicci, stayed with Russell for about a month. Bowman had prepared specialty food for each day of Avicci’s
boarding, but a former employee told Bowman it was all thrown into the crowded garage for all dogs to consume immediately. Russell allegedly fed all of the dogs generic food, did not give them their medications, and dumped out half of the pills upon pickup to make it seem like she had. Crowson’s dog, Lilly, stayed with Russell for about a month. “Lilly came back from Russell with every vertebrae in her back and her hip bones visible, which is nothing like the condition in which she had been dropped off,” according to the lawsuit. “She also had open sores on her which she never previously had and was absolutely filthy. Crowson had to give Lilly three baths to wash off the filth.” The plaintiffs’ experiences do not match the “like family” experience Russell advertised. Russell told the plaintiffs their dogs would be one of two to three she keeps in the home, get two to five training sessions per day, and leave following guaranteed commands like “stay” and “heel.” Russell has since relocated to Nashville, but Haslet said she continues to try to operate a boarding business there. Since the temporary restraining order was issued, Haslet said several five-star reviews of Lauren the Dog Trainer, one of the names Russell used for her business, were posted from accounts with no other business reviews. Haslet said she has seen Russell join Facebook groups and create an account on Rover.com in her mother’s name. Russell could not be reached to comment.
SAN MARCOS — Bradley Park in San Marcos will soon be home to the region’s newest bike park following years of advocacy from local bike groups and residents. The 8-acre bike park will include a pump track, perimeter trail and jump lines for beginner, intermediate and advanced skill levels. The site is slated for the vacant southwest corner of Bradley Park, where the city’s Fourth of July fireworks show has historically been held. Currently, residents have to go south to San Diego’s Pacific Highlands Ranch Community Park, Greg Cox Park in Chula Vista or Sweetwater Bike Park in Bonita to access skills parks with the same level of amenities. The San Marcos City Council approved plans for the project last month, and construction is set to begin in the coming weeks, said Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation Andrea Gonzalez. The city worked with local developers to obtain around 14,000 cubic yards of donated dirt for the park rather than having it imported. City spokesperson Tess Sangster told The Coast News the park is expected to be completed by summer 2024. The local clamor for a bike park hit a flash point in 2019 when San Marcos community members protested the city’s removal of a bike jump line constructed by local youth on a protected open space. At a subsequent public meeting with over 100 attendees, residents communicated the need for a local bike park. This kicked off fund-

raising efforts by San Marcos Parks and Recreation staff as well as the nonprofit Friends of San Marcos Parks and Recreation. The $1.1 million project is supported by $800,000 from the city’s General Fund, along with around $236,000 in grants from the Friends, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors’ Neighborhood Reinvestment Grant, and the state Parks and Recreation Proposition 68 Per Capita Program. “We are so excited about this opportunity for our community,” the Friends of San Marcos Parks and Recreation said in a social media post in late September. “We were able to contribute $140,000 toward the construction of this new bike park, and can’t wait to see it bringing joy to all who use it in the future!” A huge proponent of the project has been the San Diego Mountain Biking As-
REGION — A proposal by San Diego County Supervisor Joel Anderson to end taxpayer-funded deportation defense for non-citizens with certain types of criminal convictions failed to gain any support this week. Neither Supervisors Terra Lawson-Remer nor Chairwoman Nora Vargas would second his motion to put the proposal forward for a vote, which Anderson requested as a courtesy. Supervisor Jim Desmond was absent from Tuesday’s meeting
due to a family commitment. Anderson’s proposal would have directed the chief administrative officer to look into the county’s Immigrant Rights Legal Defense Program and report back in 120 days on: — specific criminal convictions that would disqualify a person from becoming a U.S. citizen either temporarily or permanently; and — if any Immigrant Rights Legal Defense Program participants have any such convictions on their record; and
fill.
“It’s been vacant for decades and decades,” Murphy said. “All we’re doing is bringing in soil and building it up.” Mayor Rebecca Jones said the city’s fireworks show will still be able to take place at the park next summer, even with the construction of the bike park. Plans are currently in the works for two other bike-skills parks in North County. The city of Carlsbad is planning to begin construction next spring for a bike park with a pump track, jump lines, and flow trails at Veterans Memorial Park. The city of Escondido has also approved funding for a bike park at Jesmond Dene Park that will be named for the late city council member John Masson, who passed away in 2020. Escondido officials have not shared a timeline for the park’s construction.
Coyote released after care By City News Service
RAMONA — A male coyote pup who came to San Diego Humane Society's Ramona Wildlife Center with a broken tibia in May has been released back into the wild near Palomar Mountain. He was joined by five other coyotes rehabilitated by SDHS' Project Wildlife program when released late Monday, Oct. 9. When the pup was

sociation, which advocates for bike recreation opportunities throughout the region as well as conservation and maintenance at bike trails. Executive Director Susie Murphy explained that bike parks give jurisdictions a lot of bang for their buck, as they are cheaper to construct than other kinds of parks and are open to riders of all experience levels. “We believe that bike parks are a great way for people of all ages, but kids particularly, to ride safely,” Murphy said. “I think probably over the past decade, bike parks have been seen as a newer, novel amenity that cities can build at sites that aren't amenable to other kinds of parks.” Bradley Park is an ideal spot for the park due to its central location, which can be reached by car or bike, Murphy said. There are also limitations to how the vacant land can be used since it is the site of a former land-

The proposal also would have directed the CAO to suspend any and all work on immigration case assistance for those people with criminal convictions or pending charges. An initial report on the IRLDP showed that county funds are being used to provide free legal defense in immigration court for 34 non-citizens “with very serious criminal convictions,’’ such as drug trafficking,
money laundering and “aggravated felony convictions which could include drug offenses, murder or rape,’’ according to the agenda. In a statement after the vote, Anderson said he had hoped his colleagues would at least allow a vote on his proposal. “I’ve always been proud of the work I do to represent my constituents, and I’ve never shied away from a vote,’’ he said. “I’m saddened my colleagues chose to avoid voting on the merits of my board letter.

van Lampson is my intern this year, doing research, strategizing, and writing copy. He’s graduating from college in May with a BBA and a concentration in marketing. Bright and industrious, this 24-year-old entrepreneur already has his own music label. He’s also starting his own marketing agency to help nonprofits maximize their online presence. And with the school year now in full swing, he’s seeing job fairs as the next item on his agenda. Evan attended his first fair last week and used his marketing smarts to his advantage: He dressed for where he wants to be in life, rather than where he is now. Because while the other students wore jeans, sneakers and T-shirts, Evan shined his shoes, donned a blazer and wore nice trousers. The difference was instantly noticeable to everyone, and his distinctiveness allowed him to score several coveted interviews. Not content to do a half-assed job, Evan reinforced his uniqueness to potential employers by sending out handwritten thank-you notes. “They’re classier and way more memorable than emails,” he observed. Plus, with handwritten notes largely a relic of the past, Evan is sure to have gained even more recognition.

Many of my older friends bemoan today’s youth, calling them lazy and unmotivated. The problems with generalizations aside, I see Evan Lampson and take comfort seeing his drive, vision and work ethic. Obviously, as with any demographic group, some are lazy, others hardworking. Which suggests anyone looking to hire young talent should be watching out for subtle clues.

ENCINITAS — The San Diego Green Building Council’s electric home cooktop program has a new pick-up and drop-off location starting Oct. 14 at the Solana Center for Environmental Innovation in Encinitas. The program is designed to allow anyone who is interested in induction cooking to check out a portable Duxtop 9100mc induction cooktop for four weeks, free of charge, to experience the benefits of cooking with induction. “Helping our communities thrive with a healthier kitchen environment through expansion of our loaner cooktop program, especially with an organization like the Solana Center, helps SDGBC reach even more of the San Diego community where they already are,” said Colleen FitzSimons, executive director of the San Diego Green Building Council. The council is a nonprofit that champions local, sustainable building and community practices that advance the region’s climate, water, waste and energy objectives. Induction cooking is the most advanced cooking technology currently available and provides faster cook times, precise temperatures, reduced air pollutants from carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, increased energy efficiency and a lower environmental impact. “Partnering with SDGBC on induction cooktop distribution provides an exciting new climate solution which helps supporters reduce their impact on the environment, strengthen community resilience, and support San Diego environmental organizations without a big investment of time or energy,” said Solana Center Executive Director Jessica Toth. The Solana Center is an environmental nonprofit that has provided waste diversion and environmental education in San Diego for over 40 years. The induction cooktop program is funded by the San Diego Community Power for Energy Innovation Grant. Reserve an induction cooktop and learn more about the program at www.ehomecooktops.com.

Big city mayors applaud new bill Under the CARE Act, Newsom signs a petition for a person with mental health disorders can conservatorship be submitted by a family someone who rechanges into law member, sides with the person, social By City News Service
REGION — San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria and other state elected leaders have applauded Gov. Gavin Newsom for signing Senate Bill 43, which is intended to modernize California’s mental health conservatorship laws. “With today’s signing of Senate Bill 43, Gov. Gavin Newsom once again demonstrated his steadfast commitment to meaningfully addressing California’s mental health and addiction crises,’’ Gloria said. “SB 43 will help us reach a small, but very visible, segment of our homeless population who, up until now, have been allowed to languish on the streets, often dying alone and forgotten by society. SB 43 will save lives.’’ Under the previous law, mental health conservatorships can be used only when a person is a danger to themselves or others or cannot provide for their food, shelter or clothing. SB 43, which goes into effect Jan. 1, 2024, expands eligibility for conservatorship to situations where people cannot manage their medical care or personal safety. It also adds substance-use disorders in addition to mental illness as an applicable condition, according to Gloria’s office. “California is undertaking a major overhaul of our mental health system,’’ Newsom said. “The mental health crisis affects us all, and people who need the most help have been too often overlooked. We are working to ensure no one falls through the cracks, and that people get the help they need and the respect they deserve.’’ The California Big City Mayors, a coalition of mayors from the state’s 13 largest cities, supported the signing of the bill. “It is inhumane to leave those who are profoundly mentally ill and unable to speak for themselves on our streets,’’ Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said. “In order to confront the homelessness crisis with the urgency required, we must address housing as well as the behavioral health crisis at the same time.’’ The signing of the bill, authored by state Sen. Susan Talamantes Eggman, D-Stockton, comes on the heels of last year’s passage of CARE Court, which is intended to assist people living with untreated mental health and substance abuse challenges. CARE Court – also known as the Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment Act – went into effect in San Diego County and six other California counties on Oct. 1.
services, first responders, community organizations or law enforcement. A judge will then decide whether that person is eligible for treatment — with input from the county’s Behavioral Health Services. If so, a CARE plan will be developed. The county expects to spend between $15 million and $20 million in the first year for about 1,000 people to be considered. About a quarter of the people engaged are estimated to qualify and transition to confirmed cases, with others guided toward previously existing behavioral health programs, a county statement read. The plan, while nominally voluntary, could include behavioral health treatment, stabilization medication and a housing plan. However, if someone refuses treatment, a judge could also recommend they be placed into what would, in essence, be a conservatorship, which would force them to receive treatment. According to county officials, participation in the program can be no longer than one year unless extended due to individual circumstances – up to a total of two years – and includes periodic hearings to report on progress. The program is offered at no cost to its participants.
Supervisors OK $3M to help migrants
On a 3-0 vote, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors agreed on Oct. 10 to spend $3 million for services to help migrants and asylum seekers with various needs, such as translation assistance and transportation. Board Chairwoman Nora Vargas, along with colleagues Joel Anderson and Terra Lawson-Remer, voted yes. The proposal was a timely one, just weeks after thousands of migrants and asylum seekers were brought into San Diego County – many of them dropped off at transit stations by U.S. border agents. Supervisor Jim Desmond was absent from Tuesday’s meeting due to a long-standing family commitment. Proposed by Vargas, the $3 million – provided through the American Rescue Plan Act – will also help migrants and asylum seekers to help them move beyond San Diego County with geographic information, access to equipment and Wi- Fi to contact sponsor relatives, food snacks, water, hygiene kits, restrooms and other services.

Locals honor Encinitas artist By Abigail Sourwine
ENCINITAS — Friends and artists gathered Oct. 8 to celebrate the life of Mark Patterson, the late Encinitas artist known for his iconic "Surfing Madonna" mosaic currently displayed on the side of Leucadia Pizzeria. In addition to his beloved artwork, Patterson, who died last month at the age of 70, also helped establish the Surfing Madonna Oceans Project, an organization that has served over 1,800 children with disabilities at its annual Special Needs Surf Camp, hosted the longest beach run in the world and offered scholarships and awards for local youth and art. Local artist Jim Babwe, who earned second place in a poetry contest hosted by the nonprofit group, read his poem, “An Attempted Ballad for the Surfing Madonna,” during Sunday's celebration of Patterson's life hosted by the nonprofit group. “Let her ride her big blue wave and remember why a work of art is not a crime," Babwe’s poem reads. "Artists don’t belong in court or locked up into cages. The rest of us understand. She’s a local surfer girl, a work of art, a creative for the ages.” Patterson inspired other artists, including Peggy Sue Zepeta, who has created several artworks depicting deities riding the waves. A fan of Patterson's work, Zepeta said she was excited when she finally had the opportunity to meet him. She quickly saw that he was a wonderful person, Zepeta said. Scot Cheatham, a friend of Patterson’s since 1978, brought a box made by the Encintias artist when he was working on a fishing

boat in Ketchikan, Alaska. The design tells the story of the raven stealing the sun, which is part of many Indigenous histories. “Mark was an artist from the beginning, and this is my most prized pos-
session,” Cheatham said. Cathy Carey, president of the Surfing Madonna Oceans Foundation, was one of several speakers who shared stories and tributes to Patterson at the event. “Today, the Surfing
Madonna mosaic holds a place of spiritual meaning for some creative meaning for others, but for all, it is a message to save the ocean,” said Carey. “He was a kind of loving man and was well loved in return.”

Bomb threat rattles school San Marcos High students, faculty put on lockdown By Laura Place & Jordan P. Ingram
SAN MARCOS — San Marcos High School lifted a temporary lockdown and canceled classes for the rest of the day after a bomb threat was phoned into the school as students arrived to class Oct. 6, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. Officers and deputies with the Sheriff’s Department, CSUSM University Police Department and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives responded to a report of a potential bomb threat at 8:06 a.m. and placed the school on lockdown a few minutes later. Students were immediately told to shelter in place, and law enforcement swept the campus for any suspicious devices or materials related to the threat, according to the Sheriff’s Department. San Marcos Unified School District officials have since announced that no threats were discovered on campus after a thorough search. The Sheriff’s Department said around 11 a.m. that parents, relatives and guardians of students at San Marcos High School could pick up their children at the campus. “Deputies will be conducting extra patrols of the school throughout the day,” a sheriff’s social media post said. “Thank you for your

patience and cooperation during this incident.” Dozens of parents waited anxiously outside the school during the three hours of the lockdown, trying to get information from their children. Parent Melinda Staab said she was terrified when she first received an alert from the district about the lockdown, and that she immediately called her daughter, a junior at San Marcos High, who was sheltering in place in her classroom. “She answered the phone whispering,” Staab said. “The kids were frightened.” At around 11 a.m., the district informed families that no threats had been discovered on campus. Classes were canceled for the remainder of the day, because many students still arriving to school that morning when the lockdown occurred were unable to access campus. “We take all threats seriously and are grateful for
the quick response of our law enforcement partners who worked alongside us to keep our campus, students and staff safe,” said Amy Ventetuolo, a spokesperson with the San Marcos Unified School District. One sophomore described being in their jazz band class when the lockdown started, and said students crowded into the band room to hide. For a while, they worried that there was a shooter at the school. “It was really scary. Just because there are so many shootings lately, we thought that could be happening. A lot of people were crying, including me,” the student said. “I’m really glad everyone got out safely,” another sophomore said. The threat came just hours before the Knights' homecoming game tonight against Mt. Carmel. On Saturday, the school is also holding its homecoming dance, A Knight at the Car-
nival. Ventetuolo confirmed that both events will continue as planned despite the temporary lockdown. Law enforcement investigated a separate threat against another San Marcos school just days prior. On Oct. 2, the San Marcos Unified School District informed families of a shooting threat made on social media over the weekend against San Marcos Elementary, although the school did not go into lockdown. The department said the threat was determined not to be credible, and that the social media posts had been traced back to a San Marcos home. Ventetuolo said the shooting threat and bomb threat are not believed to be connected at this time, but that investigations are ongoing. The Sheriff’s Department announced the arrest of a 12-year-old child in Los Angeles County on Oct. 7 in connection the bomb threat.
announced that no threats were discovered on campus after a thorough search. Shortly afterward, detectives identified a possible suspect from Los Angeles County. At 7 a.m. Saturday, sheriff’s detectives served a warrant at a home in LA County and confirmed that the phone used to call in
the threat was found in the bedroom of a 12-year-old, authorities said. The San Marcos sheriff’s station confirmed that the child was arrested and released to the mother’s custody. The San Marcos Unified School District, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s
Department, California Highway Patrol, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and canine units from the Cal State San Marcos Police Department were involved in the arrest, authorities said. The child’s identity was not released due to the suspect’s age.

Port vice chair gets censured
State helps clubs ‘Stop the Hate’
By City News Service
SAN DIEGO— The San Diego Board of Port Commissioners — the agency tasked with governing 34 miles of state tidelands along the San Diego Bay — voted unanimously Oct. 10 to censure and then remove its vice chair from her leadership position. The board also agreed to make a redacted version of its investigation report public. Sandy Naranjo, National City’s representative on the board, was tasked over alleged violations of the Brown Act, California’s law that guarantees the public’s right to attend and participate in meetings of local legislative bodies. “Commissioner Naranjo breached her duty of care by levying serious allegations against a district employee that, upon prudent or even minimal inquiry, would have readily been discredited as false,” the port board resolution on the item reads. “Commissioner Naranjo’s failure to execute her duty of care critically undermines the confidence and trust of the district's staff in the board's leadership, exposes the district to legal liability and has the potential to compromise the integrity of the district.” The details were unclear, but the accusations claim Naranjo withheld information from the board regarding her claims against a district employee, failed to cooperate in disclosing external financial engagements and “breached her fiduciary duty of loyalty when (she) acted in furtherance of her own personal self-interests in retaliating against a district employee for doing their job at the expense of the district's best interests,'' the resolution reads. In a statement prior to the board’s special meeting, Naranjo’s lawyer Cory Briggs told CBS8 the port was “fabricating charges” against Naranjo. “The port is clearly fabricating charges against my client and not providing evidence to back them up, all in hopes of marginalizing my client and dissuading the press from looking into the legitimate legal and ethical concerns she raised about a member of the port’s leadership team.” The board moved forward to censure, officially reprimand or condemn, Naranjo, remove her from her position as vice chair of the board and prohibit her from holding any other district leadership appointments. The commission does not have the authority to oust her from the board.

NUMEROUS HOMES and vehicles in the Rancho Bernardo neighborhood were destroyed in the 2007 Witch Fire. After years of residents’ concerns, the city of Encinitas has updated its Olivenhain fire evacuation plan, splitting the neighborhood into five zones and using Encinitas Boulevard as a potential evacuation route.

Olivenhain fire plan updated By Abigail Sourwine
ENCINITAS — Residents of the Olivenhain community in Encinitas think the latest fire evacuation plan is a step in the right direction following unsatisfactory reports in 2021 and 2022. “I think you’ve taken a fresh approach very different than your previous administration,” Councilmember Bruce Ehlers, who represents Olivenhain and has lived there for decades, said. “I see huge improvements in this report. Olivenhain covers five square miles and has about 6,200 residents and 380 horses in 2,300 housing units, according to Encintias Fire Capt. Josh Gordon, who presented the new plan. CalFire deems the area a very high fire hazard severity zone, and residents take fire preparedness seriously. Some longtime residents remember feeling ill-prepared for the Harmony Fire in 1996, which was headed toward Olivenhain before the wind changed its course. Olivenhain resident Camille Perkins held up melted relics from the Harmony Fire: a piece of aluminum that melts at 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit and a piece of glass that melts between 2,600 and 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit. “Everything burns when it’s hot enough,” Perkins said. Encinitas Boulevard Apartments, nicknamed the Goodson Project, will replace two single family homes and a residential care facility with 250 apartments, adding to the population in the area. This project and past fires such as the Witch Fire in 2007, Cocos Fire in 2014, Poinsettia Fire in 2014, and Bernardo Fire in 2014, made an effective evacuation plan all the more important. The new plan splits the Olivenhain area into five

zones. The fire department collaborated with the county to use a software called Zone Haven to help residents identify which zone they are in and allow staff to run drills to see how a potential fire might behave. As for the routes themselves, former plans did not use Encinitas Boulevard to evacuate, which residents said was a missed opportunity. Gordon agreed, and the new plan includes En-
cinitas Boulevard and will work with the sheriff’s department to direct traffic in the direction of greatest need. Additional alternative routes like Avenida La Posta are also included in the new plan. Taking the area’s narrow roads and high concentration of livestock into account, the department can add an additional two hours to the estimated evacuation clearance time, currently
set at five to six hours, if the time is available. The evacuation clearance time is an estimate of how long it would take for every resident to get to safety in case of an emergency. The greater evacuation clearance time can help with early communication to the community. “When I can activate or declare an emergency and have evacuation warnings and orders early, that opens up the San Juan County Fairgrounds, which now is a destination that we can take horses to immediately,” Gordon said. While residents were pleased with the updates, some still called for a fully stocked firehouse in Olivenhain. Fire Station 6 on Rancho Santa Fe Road is the closest to Olivenhain, and it is the only one in Encinitas without a large fire engine or truck. “We needed increased improvements before the Goodson project, but now it’s even more critical,” said resident Susanne Klausenstock.
OCEANSIDE — The Boys & Girls Clubs of Oceanside received a $250,000 “Stop the Hate” grant from the California Department of Social Services as part of a statewide effort to curb hate crime violence. In a continued effort to curb hate crime violence, the state agency awarded $91.4 million to 173 organizations to support victims of hate crimes by providing services to survivors and facilitating anti-hate prevention measures. In the last 10 years, reported hate crime events have increased by 89.6%, and the number of victims of reported hate crimes increased by 41.9% from 2020 to 2021, according to oag.ca.gov. Closer to home, CBS News reported that hate crimes skyrocketed in San Diego, up 65% percent from 2021 to 2022. BGCO believes that change is needed and begins with the hearts and minds of children. The Club will use grant funds to run its Youth United program, a diversity and inclusion program that utilizes an age-appropriate curriculum reflective of the evolving racial justice discourse, with 600 members at all club locations. The main program goal remains to create an environment that embraces inclusion and diversity, making prejudice, discrimination and hate unwelcome and unacceptable. Hate crimes targeting people with disabilities are also on the rise. To address this critical issue, the club will use grant funds to implement hate crime education and training for its Real Options for Adults with Disabilities (ROAD) staff and members. The Club will also provide extensive outreach and education to the local community through impactful marketing materials and via the community food truck program. “Our club has a long history of providing diversity, equity and inclusion and anti-hate programming to our members, and this incredible grant will allow us to expand on that,” said CEO Jodi Diamond. “It is imperative to the health of all of our members to create a safe, supportive and inclusive environment, and this important partnership with CDSS will allow us to accomplish that. While there is much work to do, I remain hopeful that acceptance and inclusion will win over hate.” For more information about the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oceanside, contact Ashley Tousignant, call 760-433-8920 or visit BGCOceanside.org.

SD County hoops star faces trial
Ex-MLB star Garvey enters Senate race
By City News Service
By City News Service
REGION — Ex-San Ysidro High School basketball star Mikey Williams was ordered Oct 10 to stand trial on charges of assault with a firearm and shooting at an occupied vehicle for allegedly opening fire on a group of people in a car outside his Jamul home. Williams, 19, was bound over for trial following a preliminary hearing regarding an alleged March 27 shooting outside his home. The defendant, whose real name is Michael Anthony Williams, was committed to play at the University of Memphis, but the school’s athletic department recently said that while Williams is enrolled in online classes and is on the team roster, “he will not have access to team-related facilities or activities until his pending legal process in California is complete.” Williams faces up to 28 years in state prison if convicted of all current charges, though Deputy District Attorney George Modlin suggested after the hearing that additional charges could be forthcoming. According to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, gunfire erupted just before midnight following an argument “about guests in the house being asked to leave.” As a Tesla occupied by six people drove away, it was struck by gunfire, prosecutors say. However, no one inside the car was hit. Three juveniles testified Tuesday that Williams threatened them at his home moments before the car they were riding in was struck by gunfire. One girl testified Williams told the group, “We better get to stepping or you'll leave with bullet holes.” Another girl testified he said, “We’re up in the mountains so no one will be able to save us or help us.” A boy stated Williams told them, “Y’all better leave before I kill y’all.” None of the witnesses who testified Tuesday stated they actually saw Williams open fire on the vehicle, though some of the witnesses said they saw him holding a gun. Witnesses also testified that no one in the group who arrived at Williams’ house was armed or made any threats toward him. Williams’ defense attorney, Troy Owens, asked a judge to dismiss the charges against his client, and noted the lack of direct statements from any witnesses about Williams shooting at them.

T
he Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club is in the spotlight again, and that’s not sur-
prising. The same goes for John Chanfreau, who eyes players and sees himself. “A little bit,’’ he said. “When they tell stories about being in some faraway country, I tell them just imagine it 25 years ago.’’ Chanfreau is the club’s general manager, and he’s nearly as busy as when he was a pro crisscrossing the tennis landscape. He’s no longer chasing a paycheck in that manner, but for those who do, he’s in their corner. “It’s nice to be able to give them a facility that feels like they are really playing in a pro event,’’ Chanfreau, 46, said. “Sometimes they have to go to a park to play, and no one is there watching.’’ That wasn’t the case at this week’s TaliMar Rancho Santa Fe Open, where appreciative and encouraging spectators were attentive to those competing for the $60,000 in prize money. It’s the third year that this slice of the Women’s Tennis Association Tour has planted its flag here. Those attending get a peek at the players embracing the grind and earning their dough and stripes on the US Tennis Association Women’s Pro Circuit. Among the local players in the field were Oceanside’s Megan McCray, Torrey Pines High’s Alyssa Ahn and University of San Diego’s Solymar Colling.
sports talk jay paris McCray won a SoCal Pro Series event four months ago at RSF, and Ahn won over spectators with a first-round upset of No. 6-seeded Martina Okalova of Slovakia. The teenager from Torrey knocked off a player ranked No. 624 in the world with a quick commute, to boot. “I just live 15 minutes from here,’’ she said. Everyone here is chasing, to some degree, their 15 minutes of fame with the tenacity that they track that yellow, fuzzy ball. It’s easy to tune into marquee tennis events and ooh-and-ahh at its elaborate trappings and the big paydays that accompany them for the game’s biggest names. The truth is there are countless other under-the-radar events for those going up and down the tennis ladder. A significant climb could come as quickly as a career-changing tumble that will test one’s resolve. Chanfreau played at the high school and junior college levels and then chased his dream. To do so, he would give tennis lessons to pay for his next tournament while squeezing in school at night.
It’s a rinse-and-repeat cycle for many that illustrates how daunting the odds can be for young players longing to make their mark. “I didn’t have a ton of funding, so I know how hard it is and all the hard work that goes into it,’’ Chanfreau said. “And that’s what makes having an event here so fulfilling because I know what it’s like for them.’’ The USTA showed its love for RSF with a recent honor. It was named among its outstanding facilities in its category for private small venues with less than 12 courts. That had Chanfreau making a summer trek to the US Open, just another stop on his journey that led him to RSF nearly four years ago. Before that, Chanfreau had stints at the Palos Verdes Tennis Club and an 11-year run at Lomas Santa Fe Tennis Club in Solana Beach. With Chanfreau settled in at RSF, just maybe the Rancho Santa Fe Open players will be familiar faces as their futures unfold. “It’s neat to be able to see some of these players from 50, 100 feet away,’’ Chanfreau said. “Three months from now, you could be watching them from 50 rows up.’’ If so, Chanfreau will have a front-row perspective of their challenging path to get there.

REGION — Former San Diego Padres first baseman Steve Garvey this week announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat previously held by the late Dianne Feinstein, who died last month. Garvey, who lives in Palm Desert and played most of his celebrated career for the Los Angeles Dodgers, will run as a Republican. In a video announcing his run, Garvey appeared to downplay the party affiliation. California has not elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate since Pete Wilson was reelected in 1988. Garvey, 74, said in his Oct. 10 campaign announcement that he played in front of millions of fans for the Dodgers and Padres. “I never played for Democrats or Republicans or Independents. I played for all of you,” Garvey said in the video. “Now I'm running for U.S. Senate in California, a state that I believe at one time was the heartbeat of America, and now is just a murmur. “It’s going to be a common-sense campaign. It’s going to be difficult, but we can do this together — you and I. It’s time to get off the bench. It’s time to put the uniform on. It’s time to get back in the game.” More than a dozen candidates have entered the race for the Senate seat, most notably some high-profile Democrats — current Reps. Barbara Lee, Katie Porter and Adam Schiff — and Silicon Valley executive Lexi Reese. Laphonza Butler, a labor leader and former head of the Emily’s List political action committee, was appointed to the seat by Gov. Gavin Newsom to fill out the remainder of Feinstein’s current term. Butler, 44, has not indicated whether she will run

for a full term in the March primary. Garvey has never been elected to public office. In response to Garvey’s announcement, Schiff wrote on X, formerly Twitter, “Before he was a multimillionaire Republican celebrity, he was a first baseman. Based on his announcement, it sounds like he’s ready to take up the fight for everyone born on third base — think they hit a triple. Go figure.” On his campaign website, Garvey lists top priorities of his campaign, citing education, quality of life, public safety, national security, homelessness and support for small businesses. Garvey played for the Dodgers from 1969 through 1982. Garvey was the National League MVP in 1974 and MVP in the NL Championship Series in 1978, the second year it was awarded. In his 12 full seasons with the Dodgers, he was an eight-time All-Star selection, starting five times, and the All-Star Game MVP in 1974 and 1978. Garvey played the final five seasons of his major league career with the Padres, helping lead them to their first NL pennant in 1984.

Alabaster Jar’s decade of helping trafficking survivors Nonprofit offers place for victims to rebuild lives By Samantha Nelson
ESCONDIDO — Tucked away in a historic neighborhood is a home with a handful of beds for women who have rebuilt their lives after surviving hardships, trauma and exploitation. Grace House is a home run by the Alabaster Jar Project, a nonprofit organization that provides housing and resources for survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Along with Grace House, the organization runs a resource center that provides clothing, hygiene supplies, support groups and other services to survivors on the nearby Foundry Community Church property. Now in its tenth year, the Alabaster Jar Project began as a ministry through The Church of Rancho Bernardo until it became a standalone nonprofit in 2013. Susan Johnson, one of its founders, is now the organization’s director. Johnson grew up in the Oceanside and Camp Pendleton area. As a youth, she witnessed some of her friends join gangs that ran sex trafficking operations or become victims of sexual exploitation. At the time, the term “sex trafficking” wasn’t used, but she knew it wasn’t right. “This was happening when I was between 12 and 14,” she said. “I didn’t put my foot into that door, but I was very close to it.” As an adult, when Johnson heard about her fellow church members’ interest in starting a mission project

that served trafficking survivors, she knew she had to be part of it. Johnson soon realized how minimal the region’s resources for trafficking survivors were. “I began volunteering with North County Lifeline by picking up people from the police department, driving them to emergency shelters as far as National City,” she said, noting that the shelter there only had five beds and a futon. “We were busting our butts to find safe places and seeing women get turned away from domestic violence shelters.” Survivors of sexual exploitation often face stigmas from others who view them as criminals, not victims or survivors. “They looked at the women differently,” she said. “They would say, you’re not running from an abusive
husband, you’re running from a pimp.” Alabaster Jar Project has since grown from operating out of Johnson’s car’s trunk to the current resource center and Grace House, which provides a five-bed transitional housing option for women that removes such stigmas. Grace House is not considered an emergency shelter but a transitional housing program where clients stay between a year and two years, depending on their situation. While the house only shelters women, the resource center serves everyone regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation or religious background. Amanda Moon Ellevis, a survivor who now serves as the organization’s public relations manager, became homeless after leaving her trafficker. Even though she
was safe from her abuser, she struggled to find a job, home, and basic needs. “When you have no address or access to a shower, it’s really difficult to find a job or home,” she said. “Pulling myself up by my bootstraps didn’t work at the time.” Ellevis reached out to another organization but was turned away because there weren’t any available beds. They referred her to the Alabaster Jar Project, and she was almost immediately accepted into the Grace House program. There, she stayed for 13 months, during which she found a job and fulfilled her passion for writing by taking over the Grace House newsletter. She eventually moved into her own apartment and became stable while attending a support group at the resource center every week. “We’re all survivors there,” she said. “We would share and process our traumas together, and it became an anchor in my healing.” She wanted to begin volunteering for the organization, but they wouldn’t let her – instead, they opted to pay her for her work. “Alabaster Jar Project will not let survivors volunteer,” she explained. “They have to be compensated because the organization does not want to create a scenario in which they re-exploit them.” With an annual operating budget of around $500,000, the operation depends on charitable donations and some grants. The organization recently celebrated its 10th anniversary with a fundraising gala that generated about $28,000 for the program. Over the summer, Escondido awarded Alabaster Jar Project a $50,000 Com-

they love their patients. This is the last thing they wanted to do, but they have to fight now for their health and their families.” Engler has been with Kaiser for 36 years and is also the vice president of OPEIU Local 30, which represents Kaiser workers in the San Diego region. Engler said their contract expired on Sept. 30 and that workers waited all night Tuesday to hear if an agreement had been reached. “If this doesn’t get resolved in these three days, then we’ll be working without a contract. And if it still doesn’t get resolved, we’ll strike again in November for a week,” Engler said. A range of workers were involved in the strike, including licensed vocational nurses, medical assistants, emergency department technicians, surgical, radiology and X-ray technicians, ultrasound sonographers, teleservice representatives, behavioral health workers, and more. Union members claim Kaiser Permanente has negotiated in bad faith and re-

fused to agree to a pay scale that corresponds with the skyrocketing cost of living, among other demands. California workers have asked for a $25 minimum starting pay for all employees, which Kaiser has countered with $23. Executives have de-
fended lower pay offers by stating that in some markets, employees are already paid 28% above the market average. “Kaiser Permanente, our industry, and our employees are now operating in a new cultural, labor, and post-pandemic environ-
ment that we are all working hard to understand,” Kaiser spokesperson Jennifer Dailard said in a statement Wednesday. “We are committed to finding workable solutions for this new environment that meet our responsibility to balance taking care of our employ-
munity Development Block Grant for its services. This is the first time the organization has received grant money through the federal CDBG program. Some community members were displeased to see that the Alabaster Jar Project had been chosen over Interfaith Community Services, which provides several services to homeless individuals, including a shelter and recuperative care facility. Mayor Dane White, who was moved by the Alabaster Jar Project’s mission after visiting the resource center, recently told the Escondido Times-Advocate that the city wanted to give CDGB funding to applicants who had yet to receive the grant. Over 20 organizations applied for the grant. Interfaith had received CDBG funding from the city for over 10 years. Last year, the organization also received $400,000 from the city’s Covid relief funds. Recently, Interfaith had to move its 49-bed Haven House shelter into the 106bed Abraham and Lillian Turk Recuperative Care Center due to an approximately $1 million shortfall in funds. Alabaster Jar Project has worked with Interfaith and other similar organizations throughout its years of service. For Johnson, receiving the grant was bittersweet due to some of the backlash she faced. “We were so excited for this grant, but I felt like we couldn’t celebrate it,” she said. Some also suggested the organization was undeserving of the grant because it is “non-inclusive” of all gender identities. Johnson also faced backlash following her comments at the Aug. 9 council
meeting where the grant awards were announced. There, Johnson had explained that although the organization serves all gender identities, its shelter can only house clients with “female anatomy.” She regrets her words. “It was my own blunder,” she said. “I shouldn’t have said that.” The organization is now set to receive LGBTQ awareness training from the North County LGBTQ Resource Center. “I reached out to them after viewing their statements at the Escondido City Council meeting and a few others they made in social media that showed how misinformed they were around trans identities and how they needed to get under the state requirements about inclusive shelters,” said Max Disposti, executive director of the North County LGBTQ Resource Center, via email. Under state law, nonprofit shelters and transitional housing programs that seek public funding can provide single-sex shelters but cannot turn away or separately house transgender people. The awareness training is paid through a county grant. Disposti said he hopes to impact the organization, and both Johnson and Ellevis have expressed excitement about beginning the training. “We want to be more aware of this population who also needs services, and in my mind, we’ve been serving them all along,” Johnson said. Johnson noted that although the organization primarily served women initially, other gender identities, including nonbinary people and even men, have begun using the resource center’s services.
ees and being affordable to our members.” Despite this, workers say they are still struggling to make ends meet. “To me, it’s important to make sure that we keep our wages competitive, and the most important thing of all is to keep safe staffing for all our members,” said Cassandra Pressney, a hospital unit coordinator in San Marcos. “I think there’s a disconnect between the corporate office people, and the people on the ground doing the work.” Kaiser leaders initially appeared optimistic about reaching an agreement as the strike loomed, negotiating throughout the night on Tuesday. U.S. Secretary of Labor Julie Su was also reportedly in touch with Kaiser officials to see if an agreement could be reached to prevent a strike. Dailard said Kaiser hospitals and emergency departments remained open during the strike and that they were able to continue meeting patient needs. Kaiser also hired thousands of temporary health care workers days earlier to help cover staffing in the event the strike did take
place, the Union-Tribune reported. “We have robust plans in place to ensure members continue to receive safe, high-quality care during the strike,” Dailard said when the strike began. Nine laboratory locations in San Diego County were closed as a result of the strike, according to Kaiser’s website. Dailard said while parties were unable to reach an agreement before the strike, they did reach a number of tentative agreements. In addition, Kaiser said they have “addressed the unions’ priorities” in their offers so far, including offering across-the-board wage increases over the next four years, implementing minimum payout opportunities, enhancing health and retirement benefits, and renewing tuition assistance and training programs. In response to employees’ demands that Kaiser needs to do more to address severe understaffing that is resulting in decreased quality of care for patients, Dailard said Kaiser has also reached its goal of hiring 10,000 people nationwide in 2023.

Farewell to Karina’s Taco Shop after 40 years in Leucadia lick the plate david boylan
I
thought I might get a little numb to writing restaurant obituaries around Encinitas, specifically Leucadia, in the name of “progress,” given the frequency they’ve occurred over the past few years. So when the news that Karina’s Taco Shop was closing hit me, I had a decision to make. Maybe I would just accept and embrace the changes and become numb to the loss of the old-school, family-run restaurants that drew me to this coastal paradise. I’m also a firm believer in a healthy mix of old and the new, side by side. With that, there is still time, albeit short, to show your support to Karina’s, a family-run business that has been in Leucadia for 40

years. But you better do it quickly, as they will be closing their doors for good in mid-November. The backstory goes something like this: In 1981, in Spring Valley, the late Don Arnulfo Contreras and his wife María Inés Curiel opened the first of many Karina’s restaurants, named in honor of their daughter. Like many of his peers, Don Arnulfo recognized the desire of many of his fellow immigrants for an authentic establishment offering traditional Mexican cui-
sine. The Leucadia location followed in 1983, and the family currently operates 10 restaurants around San Diego.
Given the plethora of Mexican joints along coastal Leucadia, where personal allegiances can be formed based on proximity, my early pick was Juanita’s based on its walkable location. Since I moved north, Karina’s piqued my interest as it was a block away. When I heard the news they were closing their doors, I made it a point to frequent it more often and get to know the women who worked there, some of whom are part of the family business, including Elizabeth and Mayra. I even had the good fortune of meeting and getting to know Karina herself and their mom Ines. I also had the pleasure of eating my way through a
good portion of the menu. I have to start with my favorite, their 7 Mares Soup which translates into 7 seas soup. It’s a delicious homemade soothing bowl of goodness with house-made fish stock, shrimp, cod, calamari and plenty of hearty vegetables. It’s one of those healing soups similar to the chicken soup at La Especial Norte. It’s a huge serving and could be easily split by two people. They run out quickly, though, so it’s best to call ahead to ensure they have it available. Campechana is a shrimp cocktail, and it’s another sizable portion of hearty shrimp and avocado. Shrimp plates are served with tortillas and come with
either a Diabla or Ranchero sauce. Their fish tacos and burritos are solid as well. Those in the know on Karina’s swear by the burrito selection and size, including their famous Bomb Burrito, which is basically a giant California burrito with some extra fixings. Enchiladas, Tortas, Quesadillas and Tostada’s are all represented nicely with chicken, beef, pork and seafood options. Breakfast is a popular option as well, with folks lining up early for their hearty Supreme Burrito with three eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, cheese and sour cream. Get to this local gem while you can at 916 N. Coast Highway 101 Encinitas.

The joy of the morning glory; collecting seeds jano’s

have a purple morning glory growing in my window box. It is the only tag-along flower that survived a move from my small house in Vista to another somewhat larger home in Vista. When my son and I moved last November, we went from living in a small house with a large yard to a bigger house with virtually no yard at all. So, I transferred my three-foot window box onto a tiny 48-inch plot of grass at the entryway and planned to fill it with flowers. The dirt remained empty for most of the summer. Then, two tiny heartshaped leaves popped up through the dirt one morning. From many years of growing this plant, I knew it was Grandpa Ott’s morning glory. The two leaves progressed into a four-foot vine, climbing onto a tomato cage as the weeks passed. Finally, the magnificent bi-colored purple flower arrived, opening on queue at 8:00 am. True to its name, the flower stayed open until the bloom finished its show in

URGENT COMMUNITY ALERT
Law enforcement officials from across the county are warning the public about a sharp increase in overdose deaths connected to the highly potent and often deadly drug, fentanyl.
More than 700 people died last year in San Diego County.
CREATING A LOCAL SEED COLLECTION
The Carlsbad Library has begun a yearlong seed collection purchased from Johnny’s Seed Company and also accepts seeds from local gardeners to be placed in small envelopes containing approximately one ounce that are free to library patrons. The Carlsbad Community Garden Committee is also active in organizing the distribution of the library collection. Suppose you want to join the seed collection revolution. In that case, the gardeners from the Carlsbad Senior Center Garden class
have begun a weekly harvest of seeds and have harvested over 50 packages for the donation program. Contact the Senior Center at (442) 339-2650 X 2 to register for the free garden class held each Tuesday morning at the Pine Street Community Garden.
2. Place the seed pods in separate bowls. 3. Spread the tablecloth on a large table, and place a white paper on the cloth. 4. Place seedpods in a sieve and press lightly through the sieve to clean. 5. The “chaff” will fall through the sieve and land on the white paper. This is how you will be able to separate the chaff from the seed, allowing for better germination. 6. Place seeds in separate envelopes - label and date. 7. Exchange with friends or donate to the Carlsbad Library Seed Collection. Call Darin Williamson @ (442) 339-2970 for further instructions.
HOW TO COLLECT SEEDS
What you will need: Suggested plants to harvest: Marigolds, sunflowers, nasturtium, and cosmos; Four large plastic bowls Tablecloth White, 8 x 10 paper Small coin envelopes (available at stationery stores), do not use plastic bags; Black Sharpie marker 1. Choose four plants that you would like to harvest. Be sure that the seed pods are dry and brittle. In the case of sunflowers, ensure the seeds are hard and dry (usually black, not green).

Take an Epic Beer Trip across the sea with Capt. Kurt
A
By Jeff Spanier
year ago, in this article, I introduced readers to Brad and Tamara Carvalho, Two4Brew. The Carvalhos were on the second leg of their adventure. They had sold their home in Alaska, packed up the RV, and were touring America, visiting breweries and looking for a new place to call home. Truly an epic beer run. This summer, I met Kurt Sima, who has taken his passion for beer and beer traveling to another level. As a way to share his enthusiasm for craft beer and traveling, Sima created Epic Beer Trips, guided European vacations anchored in craft beer experiences. Captain Kurt, as he’s called, leads group trips to Scotland, England, and Ireland to enjoy great beers, meet brewers and enjoy a variety of daily activities, both beer related and unrelated. Cheers: What’s the Epic Beer Trip’s philosophy? Sima: Travel the globe, drink beer and have fun! Cheers: How did your beer journey get started? Sima: My daughter gave me a book called 1600 Places in the World to Drink Beer. And I told my daughter, before I die I am going to go to all 1600 places. When I go to these places, I have a bartender or server sign the book. It took on a life of its own. Cheers: And that led to Epic Beer Trips? Sima: That book was really the seed of the whole thing to see how many places we could see, how many different beers can we drink. As I was getting to the end of my other career, we took an ex-

Follow Spanier’s advenCheers: Are there some tures @ilikebeerthepodcast common traits of your Beer on Instagram. Trippers? Sima: Well, they like beer. Some of them really like beer. But the real common thread is they like to have fun. They realize some things are planned on the trip, and some things are unplanned so you can go do your own thing. People on my trips want some planning and they want some time to do their own thing. Cheers: If someone has a trip like this on their bucket list, and they can do it once, what country needs to be high on their list? Sima: If you’re a beer lover, not just craft beer but many types of beer, I’d say England. We start in Manchester and stay at BrewDog. We go to Liverpool and do the Beatles Magic Mystery Tour. We do a beer and pastry event at BrewYork. Then we head to Leeds for Northern Monk. We base the trip out of Manchester because there are just loads and loads of great craft breweries there.

PUBLIC NOTICE TO INTERESTED PARTIES: Please be advised that the City of Carlsbad is considering amendments to its Local Coastal Program (LCP) text, land use map and zoning map, as summarized below. This amendment is proposed by the City of Carlsbad and is currently under review. This notice hereby opens a six-week review period after which the City Council will consider all comments and act on the proposed amendment. A Planning Commission hearing on the project is expected to take place on October 18 and will be duly noticed. The City Council hearing is expected to take place in January 2024 and will be duly noticed. Copies of the LCP amendment are available for review at the following locations: (1) Carlsbad Planning Division, 1635 Faraday Avenue; (2) City Clerk’s Office, 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive; (3) Carlsbad Main Library, 1775 Dove Lane; (4) Georgina Cole Library, 1250 Carlsbad Village Drive; and (5) the California Coastal Commission, 7575 Metropolitan Drive, Suite 103, San Diego, CA 92108-4402. PROPOSED LCP AMENDMENT SUMMARY LCPA 2022-0015 (PUB 2022-0010) HOUSING ELEMENT IMPLEMENTATION AND PUBLIC SAFETY ELEMENT UPDATE Overall, the project implements programs of the Housing Element and updates the Public Safety Element, both components of the city’s General Plan. The Public Safety Element update is not a part of the LCP amendment, as the General Plan is not a part of the LCP. However, implementation of Housing Element programs requires amendments to the LCP land use plan and implementation plan to ensure consistency across documents that regulate land uses in the city’s Coastal Zone. These amendments would assist the city in meeting projected residential growth through the year 2029 as mandated by the state. Residential growth is estimated through a formal process known as the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). To meet projected growth, changes to land use and zoning designations on eight sites in the Coastal Zone are proposed. The sites are identified in the Housing Element and as further directed by the City Council. The sites consist of vacant and developed properties currently designated for low-density residential, commercial, industrial or public land uses. As proposed, most sites would be redesignated to medium or high-density residential land uses. In some cases, sites would retain their commercial or other non-residential designation and medium or high-density residential would be an additionally permitted land use. Refer to exhibits 1 and 2 for a location map of the eight sites and a table identifying the existing and proposed land use designations and zoning for each. Including the proposed property redesignations, the amendments proposed to the LCP land use and implementation plans are summarized below. Please see attached exhibits for full details. • LCP Land Use Plan o Change Section B.1. (3) (b) of the LCP East Batiquitos Lagoon/Hunt Properties segment to reflect proposed changes to the Green Valley Master Plan, including revision of the current land use designations stated in the plan to match those that currently exist; show the revised minimum density proposed for the RMH (now R-15) designation to implement a Housing Element program; and add the residential R-23 designation to reflect that proposed for rezone site 19, which is in the Green Valley Master Plan. o Amend the land use and zoning maps to recognize the proposed residential land use designations for eight sites in the Coastal Zone. • LCP Implementation Plan o Zoning Ordinance - Revise several chapters of the Zoning Ordinance (Title 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code) to reflect current naming conventions for residential land use designations (e.g., R-15 would replace RMH); recognize new Local Coastal Program high density residential land use designations (R35 and R-40) as well as the existing R-30 designation; establish new or modified development RD-M Zone standards, including for building height, setbacks and lot coverage; in the Planned Development Chapter, clarify applicability of standards to the R-30, R-35, and R-40 designations and provide height standards for the R-35 and R-40 designation; finally, add text to clarify the preemption by state law of some of the city’s Growth Management Plan provisions. Changes to the Zoning Ordinance would apply throughout the city, including the Coastal Zone. o North County Plaza Specific Plan (Site 1) - Amend the plan to incorporate residential (R-40) in addition to the plan’s existing commercial and open space designations. Revise the building height standard from 35 to 45-feet; clarify housing affordability requirements that would apply; make other miscellaneous revisions to recognize the addition of the R-40 designation. The North County Plaza Specific Plan applies to an entire single parcel currently developed with a shopping center. o Green Valley Master Plan (Site 19) - Revise the Green Valley Master Plan (figures and text) to redesignate a mostly vacant commercial parcel to residential (R-23) in Planning Area 2 of the master plan; make other miscellaneous adjustments to recognize this redesignation; reflect current naming conventions for land use designations and to reflect the designations that currently exist in the plan as opposed to those existing at the time of the plan’s adoption; clarify housing affordability requirements that would apply to Site 19; clarify development standards that would apply to the existing commercial portion and to Site 19 in Planning Area 2. All changes proposed are to planning-level documents only – the project does not propose development on any of the eight sites. Any future development proposal would be subject to separate city review and approval. The following exhibits represent the proposed LCP amendment (LCPA 2022-0015) and are available at the locations referenced above and online at: https://www.carlsbadca.gov/departments/community-development/planning/agendas-minutes-notices. Overall project information is available at www.carlsbadca.gov/housingplan. 1. Map of the rezone sites (Notes: Sites are shown both in and out of the Coastal Zone; the change in land use and zoning for Site 9 identified on the map has been already approved by separate action.) 2. Table of existing and proposed land use designations for each of the eight sites 3. Revisions to Section B.1. (3) (b) of the East Batiquitos Lagoon/Hunt Properties segment of the LCP 4. Changes to chapters 21.16, 21.18, 21.22, 21.24, 21.45 and 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance 5. Changes to the Local Coastal Program land use maps for each of the eight sites in the Coastal Zone 6. Changes to the Zoning Map for seven of the eight sites in the Coastal Zone (Note: No zoning change is proposed or necessary for Site 19) 7.

INCE’, VICE PRESIDENT CALIFORNIA TD SPECIALIST IS A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. “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 on 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 the outstanding lien that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 844-4777869, or visit this internet Web site www.stoxposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case T.S.# 86572. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.” For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the
last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (844) 477-7869, or visit this internet website www. STOXPOSTING.com, using the file number assigned to this case 86572 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid; by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code; so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
