Logan Jenkins of the San Diego Union Tribune Writes:

The ranking is too good to be true because, well, it’s not based on accurate information. U.S. News & World Report consulted a federal database that blew a couple of key facts about the local high school. First of all, the senior class was tabulated at 79, which is pretty weird since the junior class had 818 students. According to Kevin Holt, San Marcos superintendent, the 897 total for the two classes combined is correct but the breakdown is way out of whack.

Resident writes:

I spotted an adult mountain lion at 4:15 this morning while running on San Elijo Rd towards Rancho Santa Fe. After passing  the gas station, the animal crossed from my right, approximately 15 feet in front of me and ran across San Elijo Road towards a dirt path near the condos by Albertson’s.

The following safety tips are provided by the California Department of Fish and Game. They are based on studies of mountain behavior and analysis of attacks by mountain lions.

Serenity Kisling & Her Son Shade (5 years old)

Sheila Etheridge a Mariner’s Landing resident in San Elijo Hills,  sent this sad news about her sister and asked for SEH community support.

Sheila Writes:

My sister Serenity just turned 39 and is fighting stage 4 breast cancer again. It has spread to her bones and lungs but she continues to fight! It’s been 11 weeks since she has held her 5 year old son Shade. This is because she’s staying in Texas undergoing treatment at MD Anderson. Her friends and family are gathering this Saturday and any donations to help pay for her medical expenses are greatly appreciated! Please spread the word by sharing the link below on your Facebook page. Also learn more about my sister on Facebook.com/serenitysjourney.
