Two years of volunteering at the Community Resource Center in Encinitas helped inspire a business idea by a Canyon Crest Academy student for a school project.

The city of Del Mar is closing in on an agreement with a grassroots group to withdraw a petition that could overturn a zoning change that the city needs to meet a state housing mandate.

For about 10 years, the Solana Beach nonprofit La Colonia de Eden Gardens has held events, programs and other outreach efforts to promote its mission “to empower our youth to make positive choices and to improve the availability of resources for all residents.”

For a business class project, Canyon Crest Academy senior Danny Applebaum and a group of classmates launched a T-shirt company that commemorates the pandemic-restricted school year students have had to endure.

Solana Beach City Council members discussed potential smoke-free requirements for new housing during their March 24 meeting, when they also reviewed comments from the state’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) about the city’s new housing element.

Faced with a state housing mandate, the Del Mar City Council will enter a three-year window to strike a deal for affordable housing at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, otherwise the city might have to zone for high-density development on its north and south bluffs.

The newly formed Clean Energy Alliance will consider joining California Community Power Joint Powers Authority to improve its buying power in the energy procurement process, among other goals.

Torrey Pines High School completed its first Kindness Relay, an initiative created by junior Bailey Grennan that rewards students for the compliments, acts of gratitude and other kind gestures to their friends, family teachers and classmates.

Goal is to help students in a variety of ways

Doctors have noticed COVID-19 vaccines causing benign lymph node enlargements that have been showing up in mammograms, and have been suggesting that women postpone their regular mammograms for several weeks after getting vaccinated if they don’t have any breast cancer symptoms.

Utility undergrounding will proceed in Del Mar after the long-awaited project was sidelined last year because of COVID-related budget cutbacks and staff reductions.
