A12 THE COAST NEWS FEB. 25, 2011 TRAFFIC CONTINUED FROM A1 time was of the essence citing family pets that were killed by speeding cars. Despite a majority of support for the project, at least two speakers disagreed with the level of danger speeding drivers impose on the neighborhood. Both longtime residents said the pro- BUENAVIDA - San Marcos 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, open floorplan, wood floors, master suite, 3 car garage, outdoor entertaining area, gated community $440,000 PARADISE BY THE SEA - in Carlsbad 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 3,404 square feet, formal dining room, 3 car garage, large yard, ocean view. $880,000-$960,000 FREE estimates posed traffic-calming measures were excessive and unnecessary. Trish Collins has lived in the area for almost 30 years and said she hasn’t seen evidence that traffic is any worse now than it was when she first arrived. “It appears to me that the traffic-calming proposes a solution for a problem that does not exist,” she said. Jerome the Gnome 500 Grand Ave., Carlsbad 760-729-3333 Collins said the city has no record of any injury accident along Gardendale. Pat Lococo said she has lived in the area for two decades without incident. “I have never, ever felt endangered,” the Village Center Drive resident said. The council voted to seek engineering cost estimates for the work proposed. The cost is estimated to come at a price tag of $200,000 to $350,000. “That’s a ridiculous amount of money to spend on speed bumps,” commented Perry Schrieber, after the meeting. While he agreed that more could be done to slow traffic, the local resident said that there were other priorities the city should finance before paying for such a project. “It just seems exclusive to me,” he said.

So what does this messy county Republican Party headquarters move have to do with Oceanside’s three councilmen, Felien, Feller and Kern? All are elected members of the San Diego County Republican Party Central Committee, which is the governing and decision making body of the county Republican Party just like the Oceanside City Council is for Oceanside. Two of those three Oceanside council members who, as Republican Party governing body members, must have participated in the decisions which Tea Party leader Eastman describes as fraud, waste and stealth have been posing as financial experts who can solve all of Oceanside’s problems. Knowing the result of the thoughtless, financially wasteful decisions made by members of the governing body of the county Republican Party as expressed by Eastman, red TREATMENT CONTINUED FROM A4 book “Madness in the Streets” as documenting proof Protection Advocacy programs have become a “playground for anti-psychotropic medication activists.” Just like Jared Loughner’s violent action in Arizona and the Virginia Tech shooting, San Diego has potentially violent mentally ill citizens too.

With the Leucadia 101 Streetscape Plan now fully approved by the Encinitas TURN TO MORE LETTERS ON A13 flags must be raised regarding Kern and Felien’s use of requested extra staff time to assist in making recommendations for what they consider to be “government reform” in Oceanside. Can those who did not stop the use of stealth, the fraud, the abuse and the waste that Tea Party leader Eastman alleged was evident in the Republican Party headquarters move make credible city government “reform” recommendations in their roles as Oceanside leaders? How can they clean up Oceanside government if they can’t even clean up the county Republican government? If Tea Party leader Eastman is correct in her analysis of the San Diego County Republican Party office move decisions approved by county Republican leadership, any budget recommendations by Kern and Felien will need thorough investigation for evidence of the same flagrant monetary waste, crony capitalism and abusive attitude Eastman concluded was shown in the party leaders office move decision making.

Even though their numbers may be small, their acts far outweigh their population proportions. Laura’s Law provides the least restrictive process to address paranoid and potentially violent mentally ill citizen’s protection from tragic events.

Materials were provided by the government, the plans by Help for Schools. “In 2010 we delivered free school supplies to the villages of Tapazan, El Conacaste and El Magueyal in the region of Chiquimula,” Vallela said. “I have requests from many other locations and have seen about 20 other schools around the country that I would like to help some day.” Because the villages have no electricity, Villela also donated rechargeable, battery-operated amplifier systems to enable students to better hear and understand their teachers. “I am grateful to the people of San Diego since their support has made this project possible,” he said. “God bless them all.” Villela is also grateful to MORE LETTERS CONTINUED FROM A12 City Council, Leucadia is on the verge of exciting new things to come. The Streetscape Plan calls for creating a more pedestrian- and bike-friendly community along the Highway 101 corridor and picks up where the downtown Encinitas improvements left off. To kick off the ground breaking, 101 trees will be planted (of the 900plus the plan calls for) this spring. Envision the day where you can safely walk in downtown Leucadia, utilize bike lanes to bike down to Cardiff or north to Carlsbad, enjoy the many wonderful existing (and new) cafes while dining outside on expanded sidewalks and relax under a newly planted tree canopy. This, and more to come, is truly cause for celebration for residents and visitors alike. Come learn more about the exciting plans and the Leucadia 101 Main Street Association (www.leucadia101.com), at the annual CASITA CONTINUED FROM A9 Casita Center, located at 260 Cedar Road. With a focus on loose parts, David Rockwell’s Imagination Playground offers a changing array of his children, Leslie, Edwin Jr. and George; stepdaughter, Shayla; and wife, Elvia for accompanying him on his mission trips and sharing his vision for empowering these schoolchildren with an education. In addition to private donors, Villela has received financial support from businesses including Staples, Carlsbad; Unipac, Carlsbad; O’Brien’s Boulangerie of Del Mar; Ochoas Auto Repair, San Diego; Restaurante El Salvador, San Diego; Q-Sports, San Diego; Sonican Trucking, Chicago, Ill.; and Mike Guardia, Galveston, Texas. Edgar Escobar, owner of O’Brien’s Boulangerie in Del Mar, is a native Guatemalan and strong supporter of Help for Schools. “Edwin stops by the bakery and shows me pictures of what he’s doing and it motivates me to want to help more,” he said. “These little Leucadia 101 Main Street Association meeting to be held at 6:30 p.m. March 3 at Encinitas City Hall (Poinsettia Room).

Elena Thompson Board member, Leucadia 101 Main Street Association War on Big Bird Well, the war is on again. Republicans want to kill off Big Bird, Bert, Ernie and all noncommercial public television programs for our children. Republicans want to take all the federal funding away from the Public Broadcasting Service, or PBS. More than half of all Americans utilize the services of PBS including public TV, public radio and their media. Parents and teachers utilize educational technologies and services like interactive educational materials and professional development. And who can forget learning our ABCs or numbers with the Sesame Street towns really don’t have anything. I have Guatemalan employees and ask them to participate in any events that crew? So kids, let your parents know that you want the government to continue to fund Big Bird and all the fine programming on public radio and TV. And adults, let your representatives know that you do not want to cut funding for PBS. These media outlets provide some of the best educational and unbiased, noncommercial programs available to the public today. However, if you think it’s OK for your kids to watch the Cartoon Network all day and learn about nothing except junk food and toys in the commercials, then just ignore the message in this letter.

Last year, Chula Vista balanced their budget on the backs of senior citizens by cutting their senior center hours to four per day. Now the city wants to save the $62,000 per year it costs for four hours and close the center completely. I’ve been watching our Oceanside councilmen who say they want city government reform. I am beginning to believe they really don’t want to provide services to seniors even though before the election they loved them. In fact those who say they want to cut waste probably mean senior services are 5560 or visit www.fupegua.org. Opportunities are also available to sponsor a school in the name of a person or a business. waste. This seems like the plan in every city that is ruled by people who say they want limited government. Budget cuts are their excuse to cut our city services out of the budget at the same time they keep budgeted welfare money for big campaign contributors like developers. Please call Oceanside City Councilman Jack Feller who has been a friend to seniors. Ask him not to support Councilmen Kern and Felien who want control of budget priorities. Alessandra Colfi Oceanside TRI-CITY CONTINUED FROM A9 A13 care focuses on treating chronic and nonhealing wounds, such as those that are common with diabetic patients. Many patients have lived for months or even years with nonhealing wounds. At the centers, patients breathe 100 percent oxygen inside of a pressurized chamber for a prescribed period of time. The therapy quickly delivers high concentrations of oxygen to accelerate the healing of wounds and is effective in fighting certain types of infection. Much attention has been given to increasing rates of diabetes in the U.S. This additional facility will allow Tri-City to meet the medical needs of more patients. Physicians can refer patients directly to the Wound Care Center for treatment.
