Incoming City Council President Joe LaCava said he is “neutral” on efforts by some La Jolla residents to create a separate city, but pointed out that it would be very difficult to accomplish. “I have chosen to remain neutral because clearly La Jollans are looking for someone who can give them objective answers,” he said when the question was asked during a press conference on Tuesday. LaCava represents District 1 , which stretches from Pacific Beach through Carmel Valley to Pacific Highlands Ranch, and noted that his own residence would be in the separate city proposed by The Association for the City of La Jolla , a nonprofit group. He acknowledged that new cities have incorporated in San Diego County in recent years, citing Encinitas and Santee, but noted that seceding from an existing city is much harder. “In the state of California only one community has successfully detached from another city, and that was Coronado in the 1800s. That speaks to the challenge,” LaCava said. We have launched our year-end campaign. Our goal: Raise $50,000 by Dec. 31. Help us get there. Times of San Diego is devoted to producing timely, comprehensive news about San Diego County. Your donation helps keep our work free-to-read, funds reporters who cover local issues and allows us to write stories that hold public officials accountable. Join the growing list of donors investing in our community's long-term future. On its website, the La Jolla association claims residents of the wealthy area would benefit from improved roads, greater safety, prioritization of local projects and having a voice in Sacramento. The proposed city boundaries would be largely based on the 92037 Zip Code but not include UC San Diego. “It’s a small group that has brought this forward.. They go under the tag line, if I’m not mistaken, of ‘imagine,'” said LaCava. “To run a city takes more than just ‘imagine.’ There are a lot of details that have to be worked out.” Seceding from San Diego would require voters in both La Jolla and the rest of the city to approve the separation. Volunteers have been collecting signatures to petition the Local Agency Formation Commission to study the feasibility of a separate city of La Jolla, one of the steps required before a vote is possible.

Northern California weather updates: Chain controls on I-80 as Sierra snow falls, rain causes valley flooding

Denton ISD has hired nearly all of the school security officers required by House Bill 3. One such armed officer is required on every campus in the district, and 20 out of 24 of them are already on the job in DISD. Mary Martin, the director of the district’s safety and security division, said the officials hired have a combined 423 years of experience in law enforcement. Jeff Russell, a Denton ISD area superintendent and lead administrator on the year-old safety and security team, said Martin wasted no time in fulfilling the school board’s expectations for campus security. The district has an established network of school resource officers, a group of trained and active police officials. When the 88th Legislature passed HB 3 in 2023, Texas schools had a short list of choices to comply with the new law: They could staff campuses with school marshals ; allow a trained district employee to carry a firearm on campus; hire trained and commissioned peace officers; or hire an officer from a private security company. “I’m going to ... flash back a year ago from August, when we did our House Bill 3 presentation and what we said we would do with this unfunded mandate,” Russell said. “We said we would pursue excellence. We said that our neighboring districts were going to pursue compliance, but that’s not good enough for the students of Denton ISD.” Martin, who has been a teacher and a police officer, said the biggest challenge in the past year was working through the Texas Education Agency’s District Vulnerability Assessment. “I had no idea what it was,” Martin said. “But I found out real quick. We get that done every four years. And TEA chose us, as the district of this size, to be the first one to do [the assessment] with all of their new TEA investigators.” Martin said TEA assessed 75% of the district’s campuses. The security team toured campuses with TEA investigators. They found that Denton ISD has been improving, Martin said, and the district earned praise from investigators on health services that are related to emergency response. “We are the only district that they had seen that tagged our [Automated External Defibrillators], kind of like fire extinguisher tabs, so they could go to it and they could see the last check, and that it was current and up to date,” Martin said. “They actually are taking that to other districts across the state. They felt that was well thought out.” By law, Texas public schools are required to have at least one automatic defibrillator on each campus. The devices are used to treat people suffering cardiac events. Texas school districts are also legally required to provide CPR ano defibrillator training to employees and volunteers each year. Aside from tackling the state’s vulnerability assessment, Martin and the team have spent the past year recruiting people to fill security positions. In filling the new security posts, Martin said, the team hired officers with experience in patrol, SWAT, traffic and accident investigation, and school resource officer work. The new hires also have experience in mental health investigation, university policing, firearms training and leading trainees through Texas Commission on Law Enforcement training. At least one of the security officers had served as a school resource officer for Denton ISD before. Martin said the team has working partnerships with seven police departments in the district’s attendance zone: Denton, Aubrey, Corinth, Denton County Sheriff’s Department, Elm Ridge, Little Elm and Oak Point. The new hires join a team that serves students during the school year and during summers and that hosts camps and a police explorer program. New security officers will join school resource officers in connecting with students and cultivating communities on campus. The team spent the first year “not knowing that’s what this program was going to be about,” Martin said. “But that’s exactly what this program is about. And we hope to continue that with the work that each of our SSOs are doing. SSOs are doing that in partnership with our SROs, and then just continually strengthening the safety and the security of our school district through this large partnership.” Success!

The meeting took place on Friday in Palm Beach, NATO’s Farah Dakhlallah said in a statement. In his first term Trump aggressively pushed Europe to step up defence spending and questioned the fairness of the NATO transatlantic alliance. The former Dutch prime minister had said he wanted to meet Trump two days after Trump was elected on November 5 and discuss the threat of increasingly warming ties between North Korea and Russia. Trump’s thumping victory to return to the US presidency has set nerves jangling in Europe that he could pull the plug on vital Washington military aid for Ukraine. NATO allies say keeping Kyiv in the fight against Moscow is key to both European and American security. “What we see more and more is that North Korea, Iran, China and of course Russia are working together, working together against Ukraine,” Rutte said recently at a European leaders’ meeting in Budapest. “At the same time, Russia has to pay for this, and one of the things they are doing is delivering technology to North Korea”, which he warned was threatening to the “mainland of the US (and) continental Europe”. “I look forward to sitting down with Donald Trump to discuss how we can face these threats collectively,” Rutte said.

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Supermarket giant Carrefour’s support for French farmers’ protests against a trade agreement between the European Union and the South American bloc Mercosur has sparked a strong reaction in Brazil, including a refusal to supply beef to Carrefour stores in Brazil. Carrefour CEO Alexandre Bompard announced in social media posts last week that the French company would stop buying beef from all Mercosur countries, which also include Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. Bompard wrote that he agrees with French producers' arguments that Mercosur beef is an unfair competitor due to lower production costs resulting from fewer environmental and sanitary requirements.

MONTREAL — Municipal officials have opted to end water fluoridation on the Island of Montreal in a move spurred by a petition from a resident who claims he has the support of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. A council representing Montreal and the suburban municipalities on the island decided Thursday evening to stop putting fluoride in the water of six West Island suburbs that have been treating their water since the 1950s. The city’s water department had recommended earlier this year that fluoridation be stopped, in part due to cost, though public health officials support fluoridation as an effective way to reduce tooth decay. But mayors of the affected suburbs say they only learned of the city’s plan in September, years after the department began studying the issue. They say residents weren't consulted and the process was undemocratic. Ahead of the vote Thursday, Montreal city councillor Maja Vodanovic said the city wants the drinking water supply to be uniform across the island. “The City of Montreal took this decision to be coherent,” she said. “We’re doing it in the best interest of all.” In a report dated March 2024, the water department says it began reconsidering the use of fluoride in the water supply after receiving a “citizen petition” in 2020. That petition was launched by resident Ray Coelho, who said in a recent Facebook post that his campaign is supported by Kennedy. “I’ve spoken to RFK on a few occasions, he congratulated me on ending fluoridation in Montreal,” he wrote earlier this month. The Canadian Press was unable to reach Coelho for comment. Kennedy, a vaccine skeptic who has been tapped by United States president-elect Donald Trump to be his health secretary, claims that fluoride is an "industrial waste" linked to a range of health problems, and has said the Trump administration will remove the mineral from the U.S. public water supply. Coelho has an active social media presence, and he posts often about the Israel-Hamas war, calling Israel a “genocidal terrorist state.” He ran in the 2019 federal election for the now-defunct Canadian Nationalist Party, a far-right white party that was deregistered by Elections Canada in 2022. He told the Montreal Gazette he is no longer associated with the party. "I really question what type of due diligence Montreal does when they receive petitions," said Heidi Ektvedt, mayor of Baie d'Urfé, one of the six affected suburbs. She said Coelho appears to be "inspired by conspiracy theories," and said many of the residents in her suburb are "furious" about the city's plan. "What's going on in the United States should not creep into decision-making in our country," she said. Georges Bourelle, mayor of Beaconsfield, called Coelho a "far-right extremist," and said he doesn't put "a lot of credibility on petitions." None of the affected communities, including Beaconsfield, has ever requested that fluoride be removed from its water, he said. Only two of Montreal’s six water treatment plants use fluoride. Those two plants serve five per cent of the island’s population in six suburbs in Montreal’s West Island. There is only one other municipality in Quebec that puts fluoride in its water. In its report, the water department says it costs about $100,000 a year to fluoridate the water at the two treatment plants. The city also refers to problems with the supply of fluoridation products in recent years that have led to shutdowns at the two plants and health concerns for workers handling the chemicals. At the council meeting, Vodanovic said people drink only one per cent of the potable water produced by the city, while the rest is used for other purposes. “We don’t think that something like fluoride should be put in 100 per cent of the water,” she said. The report acknowledges that major health organizations, including the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Health Canada, support putting fluoride in drinking water. Montreal’s regional public health directorate told the department in November 2023 it favours fluoridation. But the report says that health considerations are "beyond the scope of expertise of the water department." Bourelle and Ektvedt said they were only told about the city's plan to stop putting fluoride in their communities' water during a September meeting — four years after the water department received Coelho's petition. Ektvedt said she was "speechless" when she learned of the recommendation. "It is an undemocratic decision made by the City of Montreal," Bourelle said. "It shows a complete lack of respect of the population affected." He said the affected suburbs have only a small percentage of the voting power on the council, calling the process "a flagrant example of abuse of power by the majority at the agglomeration council."
