FEB. 22, 2013 Ironworkers and political leaders listen as Juan Galvan, business manager of Iron Workers Local 229, speaks to a crowd. Complaints range from not hiring local workers to bad on-site practices. Photo by Promise Yee Ironworkers rally for rights By Promise Yee OCEANSIDE — Union and nonunion ironworkers joined together to rally next to the construction site of the Springhill Suites Marriott Feb. 16. Complaints ranged from not hiring local workers to bad on-site practices on the building project that broke ground Sept. 18. “We’ve got to call their headquarter s and say it’s not OK to come into a city, to bring workers from somewhere else and pay a lower standard than we have fought for here,” said Lorena Gonzalez, San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council secretary treasurer, said. “I’m out here to try to get the comm unity aware of what’s going on with this project,” said ironworker Cesar Cabrera.“This project is being done by out of state contr actors, out of state workers. It’s not allo wing the citiz ens who are unemployed, jobs.These contractors are coming in and not paying area standards.” Speakers said frugal hiring pr actices are taking too many shortcuts. It’s been reported that out of state workers are being paid less than the local prevailing wage. It’s also claimed that job safety and fair work practices are not being followed. Speakers at the rally said workers are being taken advantage of because of our difficult economic times. “Hopefully when a job lik e this come to town they are able to negotiate with local contractors, local workers and get the citiz ens who are unemployed in this to wn work,” Cabrera said. Among those at the rally were five Southern California workers who walked off the job and joined the r ally. They said work conditions were unsuitable. Required safety equipment was not pr ovided and w orkers were not given sufficient breaks, enough water or earned overtime pay. Currently 80 Arizona workers are on the job. Mayor Jim Wood and Councilwoman Esther Sanchez also attended the r ally and spoke in support of hiring skilled local workers. Sanchez said the fir st of fi ve blocks of planned downtown redevelopment was expected to bring jobs to the comm unity. She said she wants to work on changing hiring practices to ensure skilled local workers have an opportunity to get work. Oceanside is known to have one of the lowest countywide ratios of jobs to residents. “The idea w as always putting people to work from our local w orkforce,” Sanchez said. “We lose on two levels, getting people back to work and all the money going out to Arizona.” Attempts were made to r each Marriott International Inc. and Stage Hospitality management group.Those contacted said they could not address questions. Follow up will continue to be made to reach the project manager. Commission will decide fate of bike lane By Jared Whitlock ENCINITAS — Bic yclists aren’t out of the woods yet. The California Coastal Commission will rule if a ne w bike lane can remain on Coast Highway 101 during a public hearing, likely to be held in several months. So far, two residents and tw o state coastal commissioners have filed appeals against the pr oject, triggering the hearing. Recently, a traffic lane north of Leucadia Boule vard was eliminated to make way for an 8-foot bike lane, despite objections from the Coastal Commission. A month ago, the Coastal Commission urged the city to hold off on the bike lane, arguing the project requires a Coastal Development permit, as well as an amendment to the city’s local coastal pr ogram, because it significantly impacts the road. In response, city staff said the bike lane is e xempt from the permit and amendment, stating it's a minor project. Council agreed, voting unanimously three weeks ago to move forward with the longstanding plan for the bike lane. But Council’s approval risked penalties from the Coastal Commission, an agency that oversees land use and beach access thr oughout the state.The penalties range from a cease-and-desist order to fining a city $6,000 a da y for projects that ar en’t in compliance with its standards. But according to Eric Ste vens, an analyst with the Coastal Commission, financial penalties ar en’t on the table. “At this point, there’s no talk of financial penalties, ” Stevens said. However, the Coastal Commission could or der the city to undo the bik e lane and restore the road to how it was before with a majority v ote from its 12-member body at the hearing. Also, the city installed “sharrows” — lane mar kings that remind cyclists and motorists to share the road — at the same time as the bik e lane. Stevens said that sharrows from Grandview Street to La Costa Avenue could also be subject to an appeal and removed, but the Coastal Commission hasn’t made that determination yet. The Coastal Commission conducts hearings on a variety of issues during its monthl y meetings throughout the state. Stevens said the bike lane appeal will go before the Coastal Commission when the agency has its ne xt meeting in Southern California, either in June, July or October — at which point the Coastal Commission will be in San Diego. At the meeting, the Coastal Commission has the option of requesting no changes to the bik e lane, forcing the city to remove it, asking the city to make small changes to the bike lane or requesting a study of the bike lane to gauge its impact. Stevens said there are potential concerns with ho w the bike lane affects coastal access and safety. “We haven’t weighed the pros and cons of the pr oject,” Stevens said. “We weren’t aware of it until recently.” Ed Deane, senior civil engineer with the city, said the Coastal Commission wasn’t notified several months ago that city staff determined that the bike lane is e xempt from the state permit and local amendment. The city hasn’ t provided a notice of exemption for quite some time, he said. “We haven’t done that since 1995,” Deane said. Deane said a meeting with the Coastal Commission after the Council meeting w as “productive.” And he said he’ s encouraged that financial penalties aren’t being pursued. “That doesn’t seem to be a path they want to go do wn,” Deane said. THE COAST NEWS SWAT standoff ends with suspect’s suicide By Tony Cagala ENCINITAS — A 10hour standoff between SWAT teams and a 22-yearold man ended at 1:38 Thursday morning when members of the Sheriff ’s Special Enforcement Detail entered the home and found the man dead from a selfinflicted gunshot w ound, according to the Sheriff ’s Department. By 4 p.m. Wednesday residents near the 700 block of Del Rio Avenue were lining sidewalks and all were saying the same thing, they heard two pops early in the afternoon; they all said that they thought nothing of it, until a “million cops” showed up. Shortly after 1 p .m., deputies from the Encinitas Sheriff’s Station received a call to the residence. According to Capt. Duncan Fraser of the Sheriff’s Central Investigations Division, the call came from the mother of a 22-year-old male.The mother had recently obtained a restraining order against him, though the cause for the restraining order wasn’t yet known, Fraser said.The man, whose name has not yet been released has had prior contact with law enforcement in the past on “some issues,” Fraser said.

Stand with others who say “end the violence.” Tell our leaders we need them to support gun safety and President Obama’s common-sense proposals. America faces a defining moment. We need a national law that: 1. Requires background checks on all gun purchases - like we have in California right now. 2. Limits the size of ammunition clips 3. Prevents private citizens from owning weapons intended for military and law enforcement. What can you do? Call or write your Congress person!
