A woman killed over the weekend in a fiery desert crash has been identified as a much-loved Oceanside native who worked 13 years in the city’s Police Department.
Brett Ann Gregory, 53, worked 10 years as a community service officer in the department’s front office, where she helped people with police reports, fingerprints and other walk-in services. She became a 911 emergency dispatcher in 2015.
“She dealt with the public with grace and dignity,” said Bonnie Stauffer, communications supervisor for the Police Department. “She was loved by all. There’s not a better person that I know.”
Gregory was on her way to meet her family for a weekend campout when the collision occurred, Stauffer said.

I have decided that if there is any true wilderness left in San Diego County it will probably be found on the San Diego River between the Santa Ysabel Valley and the El Capitan Reservoir.
Their inability to tack against the wind cost the novices three agonizing hours from the time they reached Mission Bay until they landed. Somewhere in the bay there was a slip Rusty had rented at which to dock his boat, but he wasn’t sure where it was. At 8:00 p.m. Tuesday evening. Rusty and Albert finally brought the Shangri La in, running her aground near Campland, north of Fiesta Island. They had spent fifty-six hours at sea.

Alas, the coronavirus lockdown put the skids on adorable and adoptable San Diego puppies competing in Puppy Bowl XVII in New York. The dog-beat-dog version of the Super Bowl airs on Animal Planet at noon Sunday (with “tail gate commentary beginning at 11 a.m.)
Unlike past years, furry gridiron wannabes on the West Coast and in the Midwest were deemed geographically undesirable this year as safety precautions dictated that participants drive, not fly, to the New York venue to compete.
Nevertheless, the folks at Helen Woodward Animal Center in Rancho Santa Fe, who sent puppy players in 2019 and 2020, will take part but on their own turf.

San Diego County Sheriff s Department
The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department has found a man who disappeared over the weekend when he was separated from his group while riding motorcycles in Borrego Springs.
The SDSO launched a search for James “Jimmy” Rawlins III, 55, who had been riding an “endure-style motorcycle” with a group Sunday morning, off-roading in the area of state Route 78 and Yaqui Pass. The rural area is south of Borrego Springs, west of Ocotillo Wells, and about 14 miles south of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Visitor Center.
At around 9:50 a.m. Sunday, Rawlins was separated from his group.
