Laura Eshelman's interaction with a man on the street more than a decade ago has stuck with her.

Ukraine is looking to reform its conscription policies to help bolster troop numbers after nearly two years of war, fueling fears among some civilians who don't want to fight.

At 1 p.m. on Tuesday, March 14 we'll be meeting at Ski Beach for a visibility event at Hubbs-SeaWorld. SeaWorld is helping design a massive, industrial-scale finfish farm that is currently under review to come to the coast of San Diego. This practice of industrial fish farming is bad for a multitude of reasons: it pollutes our waters, creates toxic algae blooms, spreads sea lice, entangles marine mammals, and puts fishermen out of business. Despite an outcry of opposition from local fishermen and conservation groups, SeaWorld is continuing to support this development: we're telling them to stop their support and forget the fish farm! So, join us from 1-2 p.m. on the 14 for a series of speakers including fisherman John Law and San Diego Coastkeeper Executive Director Phillip Musegas. Free pizza will be provided! Meeting location: 3099 Ingraham St, San Diego, CA 92109. View this event on Facebook

Then, as Russia’s war on Ukraine continues to rage, we bring you the story of a North County family torn apart by the war and U.S. immigration policy. Then, most commercial and residential property owners in North Park belong to a business district that pays for upkeep of the high-traffic neighborhood. Starting next month, they will pay an extra tax to pay for landscaping, sanitation cleanup, and hiring private security. Next, at this point, it’s not clear if Elon Musk’s $44 billion Twitter purchase will be able to make a go of it in the long run. But the buy-out has gotten a lot of people thinking about whether the world’s social media platforms should remain in the hands of just a few billionaires. Finally, Warwick’s head book buyer of 34 years shares some thoughts on the industry.
