RANCHO SANTA FE — A new automatic system to lock classroom doors as well offer global lockdown capability is currently being installed in the Rancho Santa Fe School District. A 4-1 school board vote on March 14 approved the $424,000 system. The district's capital facilities fund will pay for the lock upgrades.

The electronic access control system went out for public bid, and Accurate Security Pros, Inc. is doing the installation.

According to Brad Johnson, chief business officer at the Rancho Santa Fe School District, a little over a year ago the district hired School Safety Operations to assist with a hazard and vulnerability assessment.

Jeff Kaye of School Safety Operations “looked at various safety measures throughout campus, and we at the time, were starting to finalize some of our research on the electronic access control system and folded that into part of the recommendations,” Johnson said. “Since then, we’ve brought presentations to our board of trustees and also shared this information with our Safety Advisory Committee and finally got approval to procure the system through one of our contractors.”

The electronic system chosen to manage the system is Identicard.

While the total cost of the system is $424,000, Johnson said a couple of other modifications will be made to gates and a few minor hardware adjustments so the total project cost may be closer to about $435,000.

Johnson said parental feedback was an essential part of the process, which included the Safety Advisory Committee.

USPS launches cactus stamp series at Palomar College succulent garden

By Steve Horn

SAN MARCOS — The U.S. Postal Service unveiled a new succulent-themed stamp series on April 15 at a press event held at its succulent garden situated at Palomar College’s San Marcos campus.

The USPS has printed the stamps as part of its Cactus Flowers Forever stamp series. Sold in books of 20, two of the species featured on the stamp set dwell in the succulent garden.

At the press event, officials representing both USPS and Palomar College spoke about the new stamps.

In her remarks, Lisa Baldwin, USPS San Diego

Postmaster and master of ceremonies for the unveiling, praised the beauty of the garden in introducing the stamp series.

“Cacti in bloom have been described as ‘Mother Nature’s fireworks,’” Baldwin said. “We would like thank Palomar College for hosting this stamp unveiling within their celebrated cactus and succulent garden. The opportunity to showcase both the new Cactus Flowers stamps and the amazing horticulture found in these gardens was a perfect match.”

Palomar College President Joi Lin Blake called the garden, open by ap-

pointment only due to its possession of a host of rare and endangered species, a hidden gem in the area.

“This small garden, less than one acre in size, may be the most unique spot on the San Marcos campus; certainly, it is the college’s best-kept secret,” she said. “In fact, this small garden may be the most unique sanctuary of its kind in San Diego County.”

Ethel Kessler, art director for USPS, designed the stamps via existing photographs taken by John P. Schaefer. Schaefer, the president emeritus of University of Arizona, was a friend and colleague of the late naturalist photographer Ansel Adams.

Kessler’s art, she explains on her website, aims to tell “America’s story.”

"There is something extraordinarily fulfilling knowing that the talents, intuitions, and strategies you have nurtured over many years contribute to the success of your local and global community," says Kessler on her design firm’s website. "I wouldn't want it any other way."

The Palomar College cactus and succulent garden has existed since 1964.

Palomar College’s San Marcos campus at-large maintains the status of an arboretum, with plants and tree species lining the premises, as well as a standalone arboretum located within its epicenter. Only University of California-Davis shares an arboretum status with Palomar College among California higher education institutions.

Dick Henderson, manager of the Palomar College succulent garden, maintains it on a voluntary basis and has done so for the past 20 years. He spends up to 20 hours per week working in the garden and offers tours by appointment.

ENCINITAS — A Coaster train zooms by the intersection of Chesterfield Drive and San Elijo Avenue and something is missing.

Noise.

Well, except for the “woosh” from passing vehicles, but gone are the bells and the ubiquitous, jarring sound of the train horn alerting passersby of its approach.

The half-mile stretch of silent railway is the city’s first “quiet zone,” a federally designated area where train horns don’t have to sound because of enhanced safety measures installed at the train crossing.

It quietly (no pun intended) went into effect at 12:01 a.m. April 28 and stays in effect 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

City officials celebrated the milestone the morning of May 1, offering remarks at 10:05 a.m., 11 minutes after a Coaster train passed through the corridor without blowing its horn.

“This quiet zone was established under federal rules so that train engineers are no longer required to sound their horn at this intersection,” said council member and North County Transit District chairman Tony Kranz.

He added: “It should be noted that the rail engineer may still blow the train horn for any safety concerns he or she may have.”

The quiet zone’s completion is part of a suite of projects along the Coastal rail corridor that runs through Encinitas, which includes double tracking a portion of the corridor, upgrading bridges and improved safety measures at crossings.

It was developed and funded by Encinitas and involved a host of agencies, including the San Diego Association of Governments, North County Transit District, California Department of Transportation, the Federal Railroad Administration and the California Public Utilities Commission.

SANDAG’s budget for the Chesterfield Grade Crossing was approximately $6 million and was supplemented by city funds of approximately $770,000 for the installation of crossing gates, lights and other safety measures required to implement the quiet zone, according to a release.

The city completed the required safety measures earlier this year.

City officials are currently working on a plan to create another quiet zone that would stretch over most of the rest of Encinitas, which will likely cost millions of dollars.

Bags & Baubles draws hundreds, raises thousands

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — More than 400 guests attended the ninth annual Bags & Baubles fundraiser benefiting the Face Foundation at a private estate in Rancho Santa Fe. While the numbers are still being tallied, it’s expected that the April 28 fundraiser will reach its $130,000 goal to help pets receive life-saving veterinary care.

According to FACE Foundation Executive Director Danae Davis, Bags & Baubles is the nonprofit’s largest fundraiser of the year alongside its dog-friendly Golf Tournament which lands every November.

“Our events make up over 25% of our annual income and provide us a huge opportunity to share our work with the community,” Davis said. “When people bring their friends and families to our events, they are spreading the word about FACE and the issue we are trying to solve — economic euthanasia. Our events provide an opportunity for those to get involved through volunteerism, and for everyone involved to have a great time while saving lives.”

Davis described the event day as spectacular due to the perfect weather, high attendance numbers, and top-shelf items.

There was something for everyone at Bags & Baubles.

“The first item to sell was a Van Cleef 18k Tiger's Eye Ten Motif Alahambra Necklace that was generously donated to us — it was beautiful,” Davis said. “Most of our high-end brands like Judith Leiber, Prada and Nancy Gonzalez sold really well, but our vegan brands and accessories did really

well, too.”

Davis gave special thanks to the fabulous shoppers who helped FACE raise the necessary funds for pets in need. Just this year, FACE has saved more than one pet every single day from economic euthanasia.

Hosting Bags & Baubles is a team effort. Donors provided shoppers this year with more than 400 handbags, nearly 100 pieces of fine jewelry, over 60 pairs of designer sunglasses, and an over-

Patisserie. Opportunity drawings were also abundant during the day such as a Tory Burch packages, Kate Spade package, and Padres tickets.

Davis said while everyone had a great time, it was even more meaningful that at the very core, people were there to help FACE save pets and support families.

“Every day, we get contacted by distressed pet parents trying to save the lives of their beloved pets facing emergency medical

In addition to the generosity of donors, Davis noted how 100 volunteers helped make Bags & Baubles a success.

“We couldn’t have pulled this event off without them and our wonderful sponsors who underwrote everything from food to event supplies,” she said.

In addition to a shopping extravaganza, patrons enjoyed complimentary food and beverages donated by Hooters and Opera

situations who deserve a second chance at life,” she said. “These pets deserve to stay with their families that are fighting hard to care for them, but simply do not have the funds needed for a sudden, emergency treatment. We aim to save lives and keep families whole by avoiding economic euthanasia.”

Should we be allowed to love our natural lands to death?

By Diane Nygaard

The recent controversy over mountain biking at the Carlsbad Highlands Ecological Reserve is not a new issue, and is not one that can be easily resolved. Some would argue that these are public lands. Our tax dollars paid for them so we should be allowed to use them.

But these lands were acquired in many ways — including donations and exaction from developers to mitigate for land that has already been lost for more housing or strip malls. Ecological Reserves, like the Carlsbad Highlands, are lands that are specifically set aside to protect plants and wildlife that are at risk of becoming extinct.

Can we use these lands and not harm the plants and wildlife they are intended to protect? That answer depends upon the land, and the kind of use that is proposed.

Some areas can’t tolerate any use — nesting birds could abandon their eggs if disturbed by an inquisitive dog, or soil compaction from walking can destroy dormant plants in a vernal pool that might not even be visible most of the time.

But sawing down mature plants, digging holes

and building jumps is vandalism, not “use.” No one has the right to vandalize these lands that have been set aside for all of us.

In other areas, low impact public use can coexist with native plants and wildlife. But that determination must be made at the time the land is set aside. That ensures sufficient funds are committed to manage the land so that all allowed uses will not cause damage, or if they do, that damage can be reversed.

Legally, public use of these lands is a privilege, not a right. And it is a privilege that we all want to protect.

But whether we have “use” of the lands or not, we all benefit from having natural lands incorporated into the fabric of our communities. Our air is cleaner. Our watersheds are less polluted.

Our spirits are enriched by views that don’t include cars and houses, by the sound of the gnatcatcher or the smell of artemesia in the spring.

We all see how our communities are changing as growth occurs, and we know that much of that change is inevitable. More houses are built, so we have less open space land. Those houses bring more people who now

have less land to recreate on. And we all love our natural lands and want to spend time there. Houses, and mountain bikers, and people and native plants and wildlife can’t all exist on the exact same piece of land. But we all need to support ways that allow these, sometimes competing, interests to coexist.

That means providing places for healthy outdoor recreation like mountain biking that doesn’t damage sensitive areas like Carlsbad Highlands, adequately funding the California Department of Fish and Wildlife so they can protect our native plants and wildlife, and supporting sound planning that reduces sprawl development and provides for growth while still protecting natural open space.

We can recognize these conflicts, and commit the funding, and effort to do better than we have been doing.

Or, we can ignore these conflicts at Carlsbad Highlands and elsewhere, and allow ourselves to love these lands to death.

t first glance, there appears to be no relation between two plagues now affecting California and much of America, the return of measles and a rise in anti-Semitic rhetoric, vandalism and violence.

But a closer look reveals both are based on misinformation transmitted via the internet and social media, which then becomes widely believed. Both also employ scapegoating.

Neither plague originated in California, or even in America. But Californians and their government can move to stem the spread of both within this state.

With the measles, there’s a grossly overblown autism claim. Vaccinations, goes the frequently repeated trope, often cause autism. This great exaggeration has lurked in the minds of some non-scientists for many years. Its best-known proponent is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He leads anti-vaxxers who — lacking proof — charge vaccinations increase the incidence of autism, a problem some doctors believe is overdiagnosed. Lacking anything else to blame, some parents make vaccinations the scapegoat.

So far, there are several dozen cases of measles in California this year, and no deaths. Nationally, more than 700 cases are reported, the most in this century – and the year is still young.

Lies and scapegoating are also behind the anti-Semitism plague that most recently manifested as murderous gunfire in the Chabad of Poway synagogue. Some of those lies are perpetrated by a movement seeking a worldwide boycott of everything to do with Israel, the world’s only Jewish country, along with divestment from invest-

california focus thomas d. elias ments there and sanctions against anything Israeli.

It’s called BDS – boycott, divest, sanction.

This drive is most vocal on college campuses, including Stanford University and UC campuses like Davis and UCLA. Hotly contested California student government votes for and against pushing university administrations toward BDS show the efficacy of widespread anti-Israel propaganda, which many times bleeds over into outright anti-Semitism. They also show how ill-informed students can be.

One lie is that Israel is an apartheid state, despite taking in and making full citizens of many thousands of black Ethiopians, not to mention millions of ethnic-Arab Jews expropriated and exiled from several Arab countries at the time of Israel’s founding. Plus, the more than 1 million Arab Palestinians living in Israel have citizenship and full voting rights.

It was likely no accident that the 19-year-old Poway synagogue shooting suspect was a Cal State San Marcos student exposed to BDS rhetoric on campus.

Just as it was no accident when another white American fired on worshippers in the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh last fall after seeing Nazi-like ideas on social media.

Is it reasonable to expect impressionable young people to disbelieve what they see or read when similar tropes are purveyed in the New York Times, arguably America’s most

influential mass medium?

Especially when the editors who print them go unpunished despite the newspaper’s apologies?

When the President of the United States says there were “good people” among white supremacists who chanted “Jews will not replace us” — a slogan based on another lie — during their infamous 2017 Charlottesville demonstration/riot, is it reasonable to expect no one will act on it?

The notion that Jews seek to replace white Protestant Americans is immediately disproven by the fact that Jews have fought and died in every American war and have lived here as long as anyone other than Native Americans. How can Jews replace white Americans when almost all of them are themselves white Americans? But here, as elsewhere, when economic times get tough, Jews get blamed. Such scapegoating spans two millennia.

Of course, anti-Semitism has a far longer, more complex history than anti-vaccination ideology.

But anti-vaxxers refusing to inoculate as many as 30 percent of pupils in some schools make California children vulnerable to contagion, where formerly they were not.

Falsehoods like those slandering Jews and vaccinations can only take root among folks willing to believe almost any conspiracy theory about people and things of which they know little.

The sad reality is that the rhetoric of anti-vaxxers and anti-Semites will never stop. It can only be combated by education, which means public school curriculum must change or these very contemporary plagues will never end.

Tackling mental health and addiction

THE RANCH’S BEST SOURCE FOR LOCAL NEWS

By Marie Waldron

Mental health and drug addiction are often co-occurring disorders, with a big impact. I have been working on commonsense, bi-partisan solutions to these problems since my days on the city council.

As a member of the Mental Health Caucus, I serve on several committees that deal directly with these issues, including Assembly Health Committee and the Select Committee on Health Care Delivery & Universal Coverage. I am also a member of the Stanford 5 Year

Initiative on Neuroscience, a working group that fosters communications between policymakers and researchers regarding mental health and opioid addiction.

This session I introduced legislation to strengthen the voice of local mental health boards to help meet the needs of the mentally ill and a bill to allow payment to substance use providers in every county. In addition, I have joined with Assembly Republicans to support expanding current programs providing loan repayment for physicians and mental

health providers who practice in underserved areas, including rural parts of this region.

Those suffering with mental illness and substance abuse can turn their lives around. There is a lot of work to do. By making access to treatment available and affordable while reducing stigma, we can restore lives.

Solana Beach skate park opens Supervisor Gaspar to seek reelection

By Lexy Brodt

SOLANA BEACH — “This is pretty sick,” said Alec Beck with the Tony Hawk Foundation, as over four dozen skaters of all ages grabbed their boards to break in Solana Beach’s brand new La Colonia skate park.

Lingo and all, few words could have better captured the feeling in the air at the park’s grand opening on April 27. Parents watched as their young kids cautiously navigated the park’s various dips and slopes, while local professional skaters whizzed past to negotiate a rail or “Hubba” ledge.

In addition to the skate park, the city also unveiled a small basketball court and free-standing nanogrid — called EnergiPlant — providing WiFi and ports for phone-charging. The park’s design takes the look of the ocean, with a donor wall in the shape of a wave revealing the names of individuals and businesses that contributed $500 or more to the project.

The project’s construction has quickly unfolded over last 10 months, a chain link fence around the perimeter giving away sneak peaks of the design to come.

But efforts to make the skate park a reality started over a decade ago.

In 2007, the city came up with a Master Plan for the whole of La Colonia Park, envisioning elements such as the skate park, an expanded tot lot and a courtyard honoring veterans — which was completed in 2016.

But after the city’s anticipated funding source was shut down at the state level, the city had to approach the Master Plan “piecemeal,” said former Councilwoman Lesa Heebner, who was on the council during much of the project’s timeline.

The skate park remained a city priority, with residents hoping a it would give area kids “something positive to occupy their time,” Heebner told The Coast News.

In 2016, the Parks and Recreation Commission started looking ways to chip

SOLANA BEACH sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders hold up their winning designs for a skate park pre-opening challenge offered by the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society.

Students were encouraged to submit deck designs conveying the “importance of our new skate park to our community,” or documentaries describing the history of the park. The challenge attracted about 50 entries. Photo by Lexy Brodt

away at the Master Plan.

Fueled by the momentum and enthusiasm of the local skating community, the commission opted to focus on “what resonated,” Commissioner Linda Swindell said.

And what resonated was the skate park.

The approximately $1.1 million project was largely paid for out of the city’s Capital Improvement Program Fund, but it was also able to garner various financial support from local entities and community members.

A $5,000 donation from the Tony Hawk Foundation “kicked off” the project, said Mayor Dave Zito during the park’s grand opening. From there, the city received a $100,000 Neighborhood Reinvestment Program grant from the county, as well as donations from the Surfing Madonna Oceans Project, Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society and the Coastal Communities Foundation.

The Parks and Recreation Commission raised money through fundraisers at Culture Brewing, and the

Fire Department hosted a pancake breakfast.

As the city secured funding for the skate park, the project’s consulting architects — Van Dyke Landscape Architects — gathered input from local skaters and community members to come up with a design. The final product was constructed by California Skateparks.

And the feedback so far?

“It’s been great,” Swindell said. “The consensus is: people think it’s fun, it’s well-designed for the space.”

Local resident Dan Soderberg was one of a couple hundred residents and family members watching from the park’s grassy area during the grand opening, as his young son tried out the skate park. Soderberg, who also skates, said he looks forward to having a place where he can do something fun with his kids.

“I think it was well-needed,” he said.

Prior to the skate park, skateboarding was not allowed on any public property in the city.

Zito, who cut the open-

ing ribbon as a large group of eager young skaters looked on, said he’s “very happy” about the progress being made to the park.

“While I admit these facilities will not be used by everybody, I think if you look at the park as a whole, it’s turning into a very wonderful location for our entire community and the entire neighborhood to come and gather,” he said.

up to run against Gaspar, a Republican, for the technically nonpartisan board.

Terra Lawson-Remer, a former U.S. Treasury Department adviser during the Obama administration, Escondido City Councilwoman Olga Diaz and fire captain and Palomar Health Board member Jeff Griffith are all running against Gaspar.

In response to Gaspar's announcement, the San Diego County Democratic Party referred to her as a “Trump Republican.”

“Kristin Gaspar can try to make voters forget that she’s spent the last two years supporting Trump’s outrageous border wall and racist, anti-immigrant agenda,” said party Chairman Will Rodriguez-Kennedy.

“San Diegans rejected Trump in 2016, and we will make sure that voters know that Kristin Gaspar shares Donald Trump’s values, not ours.”

REGION — San Diego County Supervisor Kristin Gaspar announced May 3 that she will seek a second term.

Gaspar, the former mayor of Encinitas, is the only member of the current board eligible to run for re-election in 2020. Supervisors Dianne Jacob and Greg Cox will be termed out after spending more than 50 combined years on the board, while supervisors Nathan Fletcher and Jim Desmond were elected to their first four-year term last November.

The announcement quelled speculation that Gaspar may launch a second run for Congress. She finished fifth in the June 2018 primary for the 49th District seat, a race eventually won by Rep. Mike Levin, D-Dana Point.

“Using innovative approaches to government is important to me and serves as a catalyst for the private sector and nonprofits to get more involved,” Gaspar said. “We are changing lives by engaging the community, investing in prevention and working together toward solutions.”

Gaspar represents the board's District 3, which includes parts of North County, including Encinitas, Escondido, Del Mar and Solana Beach.

BEACH BASH 40th annual Fiesta del Sol hits Solana Beach this month

Special to The Coast News

SOLANA BEACH — In 1979, gasoline was 86 cents a gallon, Michael Jackson released his breakthrough album “Off the Wall” and the average national rent was $280.

It was also the first year for Fiesta del Sol in Solana Beach.

Now 40 years later, Fiesta del Sol, presented by the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with Belly Up and the city of Solana Beach, will be grooving by the beach with another exciting beachside festival the weekend of May 18 and May 19.

Fiesta del Sol opens each morning at 9 a.m. with the arts and crafts fair and closes each evening at 9 p.m. after the conclusion of the last musical performance. The Fiesta del Sol takes place adjacent to Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach within the area bordered by South Sierra Avenue and Acacia Avenue.

“Being the longest running event in Solana Beach, we are going to go big this year,” said Maryam Hintzen, chief executive officer Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Bureau.

“The Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce has hosted this free two-day event for 40 years as a kick-off to summer in Solana Beach and to give back to our amazing community!”

The two-day event encompasses at least nine blocks and six parking lots in the city and will offer up everything from food to concerts for kids, adults and everyone in between.

“We looked back at the 39 years that this festival has been going on and continue to be amazed how

much it has grown from a tiny beach party to attracting more than 55,000 people last year,” she said.

Fiesta del Sol truly has something for everyone this year: food trucks, specialty food vendors, and an arts and crafts area showcasing an eclectic array of arts and crafts exhibits with original paintings, locally handcrafted jewelry, pottery, clothing, one-of-akind items, etc.

Also on hand will be a children’s entertainment area just for kids with rides, games and hands-on activities, bounce houses, arts and crafts and other fun activities designed especially for children. The main stage showcases children’s dance groups, musicians and martial arts exhibitions in the mornings.

There will be a sponsor VIP lounge, fireman and lifeguard dunk tank, Solana Beach Fireman’s Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, wine and beer gardens, rides, hundreds of vendors and much more — all free!

Hintzen said she and her small team have been planning for the event since January and are all “excited to share our gorgeous city with the community once again during this amazing event.”

And according to Hintzen “with a brand-new interactive website and the best performers of any Fiesta del Sol, 2019’s party is shaping up to be legendary!”

“Once again, the Belly Up is providing an exceptional lineup of musicians to perform over the twoday event; which also includes our local community talent,” she said.

Local dentist, an RSF resident, faces new allegations of fraud

By Jordan P. Ingram

ENCINITAS — After a string of criminal and professional violations spanning four decades and three states, a Rancho Santa Fe dentist faces new allegations of fraud by a former patient of Correct Choice Dental Group in Encinitas.

Gerry Simoni, 62, of Escondido, filed a civil complaint on April 24 in San Diego Superior Court’s smallclaims division against James Charles LaJevic, accusing the dentist of fraudulently billing $2,750 for dental services that were never performed.

Simoni further alleges that LaJevic, 71, charged him for procedures not included in his original treatment plan.

The complaint is the third claim filed in Superior Court against the embattled practitioner by a patient or professional associate in the past six months.

“I did what I could to come to a mutual agreement, but he has ignored all my requests,” Simoni said.

“It’s clear to me that he has no concern for his patients, especially those who he has damaged.”

According to Simoni, LaJevic offered him a “great price for procedures” if he paid him $4,500 upfront for four crowns, Invisalign treatment and scaling and

root planning on all four quadrants.

When Simoni received an itemized bill after months of treatment, he said LaJevic had charged him for services that never occurred, including scaling and root planning (SRP) on all four quadrants.

According to Simoni, LaJevic called him on April 2 to inform him that he would not provide any more treatment and to “never step foot inside of his office again.”

“I was in shock to say the least and felt sick to my stomach because I knew he had just stolen a good part of my money,” Simoni said.

Simoni said several more attempts to contact LaJevic were ignored.

Ongoing legal woes

The legal action comes just four months after Simoni’s daughter, Christiana, filed a Jan. 22 lawsuit against LaJevic alleging professional negligence after a wisdom tooth extraction resulted in paresthesia.

After filing suit, Christiana said she advised her father to see a different dentist but learned that Simoni had already paid LaJevic upfront for treatment.

“I feel like he got off lucky considering what happened to me,” Christiana

his dentistry is questionable.”

These incidents are the latest in LaJevic’s tumultuous dental career that includes a series of well-documented professional and personal misconduct ranging from gross negligence and fraud to felony-tax evasion.

History of violations

James LaJevic

said. “My dad got scammed but the quality of my life got taken away.”

In November 2018, Dr. Gary Braunstein, of Encinitas Dental Care, filed a complaint in small claims court after LaJevic refused to reimburse him $4,750 for a patient’s treatment.

The patient, Christine Praefice, had received a refund from Care Credit, a health care financing company, based on her claim of assault and malpractice by LaJevic, according to court documents. “(LaJevic) just abuses people,” Braunstein told The Coast News in January.

“He is not honest with people, billing fraudulently and

As previously reported

by The Coast News, in 1994, the Pennsylvania State Board of Dentistry found “sufficient evidence” to sustain 12 of 47 allegations levied against LaJevic, including gross negligence, practicing dentistry with an expired license, taking office drugs for personal use and abandoning a patient mid-treatment.

At the time, the board noted that “Dr. LaJevic’s continued practice of dentistry in the Commonwealth was an immediate and clear danger to the public health or safety,” according to court documents.

Pennsylvania law enforcement agents also learned that the dentist was filling prescriptions for Valium and a narcotic cough syrup for “office use” with an expired Drug Enforcement Agency Certificate of Registration.

Following the state’s investigation, the Pennsylva-

nia Dental Board suspended LaJevic’s dental license indefinitely in 2001 after discovering that he had falsified renewal applications for his expired DEA certificate.

The Pennsylvania Dental Board later granted a full reinstatement of LaJevic’s dental license after he completed a clinical re-examination and passed a specified ethics exam.

LaJevic left his Pennsylvania practice in good standing and moved with his wife and office assistant Lori Werder to Nevada.

According to a verified complaint filed in District Court by the Nevada State Board of Dental Examiners, LaJevic and Werder were practicing dentistry without a state-issued license.

The longtime couple reached a stipulation agreement with the court, admitting no wrongdoing and paying a $7,000 fine.

LaJevic and Werder then moved to California where LaJevic was granted a probationary license on Oct. 16, 2015.

Wheels of justice?

In granting LaJevic’s license, the California Dental Board acknowledged LaJevic’s past violations but approved his license anyway.

Carlos Alvarez, enforcement chief with the California State Dental Board, said

that dental licenses in the state can’t be denied solely on past convictions or violations.

“We have to look at (the applicants’) entire history,” Alvarez said. “Do they have any proof of certificate or rehabilitation from other states? Did they meet the conditions of any other administrative actions? Everything is taken into consideration before we issue a license.”

Alvarez said that every complaint submitted to the board is reviewed by dental consultants to see if the dentist fell below the “standard of care” which is determined on a case-by-case basis.

The most egregious cases are sent to the attorney general’s office for further investigation and prosecution.

But other than filing complaints, only criminal allegations, such as fraudulent billing and sexual misconduct, offer the possibility for repeat offenders to have their license permanently removed.

“This dentist needs to be investigated immediately,” Simoni said. “There is no doubt in my mind that he should have his license revoked in California so he cannot do any more damage to other people.”

LaJevic could not be reached for comment.

Streetscape project still on schedule

By Lexy Brodt

DEL MAR — Although the long-awaited Streetscape project is well underway, it has not been without its fair share of obstacles.

After withstanding an especially rainy winter and failed storm drain pipes,

ager Scott Huth initially anticipated the project’s completion would possibly be delayed to the end of summer.

“We are behind schedule,” he said.

The $7.2 million project aims to beautify the city’s

work effort and fund the replacement of damaged and corroded pipes found at 10th and 11th streets.

The damaged pipes weren’t the only thing the city uncovered during the course of construction — Huth said that wet material

THE CITY’S long-awaited Streetscape Project has experienced some setbacks, mostly due to inclement weather and the discovery of failed storm drains. In the meantime, city staffers are working with area businesses to reduce construction impacts, according to Deputy Director of Public Works Mohsen Maali. Photo by Lexy Brodt

the city is expanding its construction schedule to include some evenings and Saturdays.

Mohsen Maali, the city’s deputy public works director, said the new schedule will help the city recover time lost due to unforeseen site conditions.

He anticipates the project’s final touches will still be completed on schedule — in July, in time for race season.

At an April 15 City Council meeting, City Man-

downtown stretch from 9th Street to the Del Mar Plaza, bringing in new sidewalks, paving, bike lanes, landscaping, street lighting and furnishing. The project is largely funded by Measure Q — a voter-approved 1% sales tax hike.

At the April meeting, council approved the allocation of an additional $424,000 — out of the city’s AB 939 fund and Measure Q monies — to expand Spurlock Landscape Architect’s

underneath the sidewalks required staff to bring in new materials, and the discovery of unmapped utilities required design changes.

The city has also been working with local businesses to lessen the impact of the construction — and some have been taking a hit.

Mary Arabatzis, the co-owner of Camino Del Mar restaurant Beeside Balcony, presented at a March City Council meeting with concerns about how the in-

clement weather and construction were negatively affecting sales.

“The clouds have parted, and the construction has started,” Arabatzis said, calling the noise pollution and dust “horrible for customers.”

She also said customers were having a hard time finding parking due to construction-related street closures.

The city has been working with the Business Support Advisory Committee and the Del Mar Village Association to respond to requests, “scheduling noisy and dusty work during the least-disruptive times,” Maali said.

Councilman Dwight Worden, a liaison to the Business Support Advisory Committee, compared the current negative impacts on local businesses to the pain of getting a shot at the doctor’s office.

“The upside of that is, it’s temporary,” he said.

For now, the city has been hanging “business open” and “pardon our dust” signs and banners around town, to lessen the blow.

“We understand that heavy construction is not good for business, but we are confident that a finished project will greatly beautify downtown Del Mar and turn it into an even greater destination,” Maali said in an email to The Coast News. “That will pay great dividends to our business community for decades to come.”

SUPPORT FOR U.S. EQUESTRIANS

Olympic equestrian gold medalist Will Simpson, left, donated a rib dinner for 20 for auction as part of the April 26 U.S. Equestrian Team Foundation Spring Soirée, a fundraising event that took place at the Pomponio Ranch in Rancho Santa Fe. The event, which raised more than $200,000, served as a benefit for U.S. Equestrian high performance programs, including developmental and elite, to ensure athletes and teams representing the U.S. have the necessary support to compete at the highest level of the sport.

than people realize,” Depolo said. “We are working together for the good of our community and our fire department.”

Depolo said the general population is surprised to learn that the fire department needs additional funding and thinks it is all is covered through taxes.

“The ability to have these extra funds to do more is in everyone’s best interest,” he said.

Bonita Baumgartner, who serves as secretary of the foundation, said she is looking forward to getting the word out that the foundation is up and running and supporting the brave men and women in the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District.

Baumgartner said the district serves more than just Rancho Santa Fe. Its other areas include 4S Ranch, Santa Fe Valley, Bernardo Lake Estates, Bernardo Pt., The Summit of Rancho Bernardo, Fairbanks Ranch, Whispering Palms, Del Mar Country Club, Rancho Santa Fe Farms, Rancho Santa Fe Lakes, Santa Fe Sur, Rancho Farms Estates, Del Rayo Estates, Montecito Rancho Santa Fe, Sun Val-

ley, The Bridges, The Crosby, Cielo, Harmony Grove Village, Elfin Forest and more.

Baumgartner said the foundation was created to raise funds for firefighters to be better prepared to protect the community during wildfires.

“We have already granted monies for a drone to assess fire situations better and get personnel in and out of areas with a greater degree of safety, a detox sauna for firefighters after they have been exposed to toxic smoke inhalation, and a new septic system in Station 6,” she said. “We are hoping to raise funds for solar on station roofs so they can be more efficient, provide new, better equipment for firefighter protection and safety, fire engines where needed, individual station improvements, and increased educational tools.”

In addition to raising funds, Depolo said the fundraiser is a chance for residents to meet while learning more about the foundation and what it does.

“This event is to spread the world that we exist, and we are here to help,” he said.

Sage Bleu Catering will provide the hors d'oeuvres for the event, and there will also be musical entertainment.

“This event is an opportunity to make a difference in your community while providing support for our brave men and women that support us in medical emergencies and fire suppression,” Baumgartner said. “We hope to see you there.”

The Rancho Santa Fe Fire District Foundation fundraiser will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. May 18 at the Cielo Village Square, 18029 Calle Ambiente in Rancho Santa Fe. To learn more about the event, or to RSVP, call (760) 703-3994 or visit https://www.rsffirefoundation.org/

respond to the 1,001 questions and requests that my youngsters fire over their shoulder in a constant stream from the minute their eyes open until they drop off to sleep. I truly was amazed at how often my kids needed a verbal response. This steady stream of chatter had become second nature to me until I found I could not be heard.

With no voice, you cannot get your children to look at you, or even slow down long enough to be caught.

For better or worse, my voice has always been a major part of my persona. I achieve a volume, especially with my children, that is the bane of my neighbors and the envy of every fishwife and drill sergeant.

I use it often and with excellent success in the discipline of my children. It also allows me to respond to their every beck and call from upstairs or down.

Alex Nava

April 5, 2019

It is with immeasurable sadness that we share with our community the passing of our enigmatic and charismatic son, Alex Nava.

He lost his eightmonth long battle with opioid addiction on Friday, April 5, 2019.

He had called the Village Park area his home for all of his 24 years. Alex’s smile is what we will remember.

He was a light in the world. He was authentic and genuine, with a greeting full of affection,

Ruthanne Gaertner, 83 Oceanside April 27, 2019 John Lee Walters, 70 Oceanside April 30, 2019

and his smile and goofiness will remain with us.

It is our hope that Alex’s light will help someone find their way through the disease of addiction and stay alive. Some of us will forever remember Alex as he stood outside of his childhood home wearing his favorite boots and Magic Girl costume. And then there were the days he wore nothing at all, except those boots.

Alex leaves behind his mother Lisa, father Antonio, brother Andrew, and sisters Angela Morgan and Ariana.

His Nava and Morgan families extend across the U.S. and Mexico.

In lieu of flowers, the family is graciously accepting donations to contribute to continued expenses, and there will be a one-time donation in Alex’s name to a program to be determined.

anything else I have tried.

I have never felt so powerless as when I let fly a shriek at my son, who was blithely ignoring me about something, and managed nothing more than a fine imitation of a strangling bullfrog.

My sprinting speed has increased since physical contact has become critical for getting any message across. My hands are blistered from clapping, and I have remastered the fine art of the two-finger whistle I learned as a kid.

Finally, I sat both children down, and reminded them that mom’s throat was sore and that I had no voice.

They must not stand upstairs and holler at me, expecting the usual audible response. They must watch me more closely when we are out to know if I need their attention. It feels like pearls before piglets, but I have to keep trying or I will never recover. The really strange moments came during the weekend away with a close friend and her

children. Fortunately, she too is a mom who knows how to express herself, so she got to express herself for both of us.

Then I kept turning and whispering. “Tell my son to stop splashing his sister, please. Ask my daughter to stop running near the pool, please,” and so on. It was like a bad ventriloquism act.

They would hear her, turn, look at me, see my scowl or furious hand motions, and finally, obey.

Instead, I have let some transgressions, usually noted, just go by. The kids love it, but I’m not sure they realize it is temporary. They may be in for a cold shock when I heal. For now, I’m gargling frequently, picking my fights carefully and wishing I had made my children fluent in sign language.

She gave her life in raising me and helping me to grow. She’s been there through the happy times and comforts me when I’m feeling low.

She makes sure I know I am special and important to her. She was there through wet diapers, skinned knees, dates, first kisses, and the vows of love, “I DO.” She’s my best friend as well as MOM. We’ve cried, we’ve laughed, we’ve hugged. I thank you, Mom, for all your love!

We proudly honor Mothers on Mother’s Day and every day!

A lot of history in one day in Arizona

V

isiting central Arizona can be a lesson in contrasting civilizations, both in time and culture.

On one hand, there are Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot national monuments, both providing glimpses into Southwestern civilizations that thrived between the 11th and 15th centuries. The inhabitants of these communities lived off the land and local rivers and had few personal possessions, creating virtually no waste and leaving nothing behind but the walls and windows of their homes. e’louise ondash On the other hand, there are historic Jerome and its little suburb, Haynes, both re-populated, re-purposed mining towns of the 19th and 20th centuries that are packed with paraphernalia of the past and present.

Seeing all four in one-day makes for an interesting, educational and fun-filled road trip.

hit the road

MASSIVE QUANTITIES of rusted farming and mining equipment, auto and machine parts, household items and anything ever made of metal have found a home at the Gold King Mine and Ghost Town, formerly Haynes, Arizona. In the late 1800s, a mining company dug a shaft hoping to find copper; instead it discovered gold.

The mine, still visible, is 1,270 feet deep. It closed in 1914. More at goldkingmineghosttown.com.

THE HISTORIC MINING town of Jerome sits on the side of Cleopatra Hill at 5,200 feet in central Arizona. It was copper that drew fortune seekers to the area in 1876, and organized mining began in 1883. Mining ceased in 1918 when an uncontrolled fire burned through the 88 miles of tunnels under the town. Open-pit mining followed; these mines finally closed in 1953. Most of Jerome’s 15,000 people left, and squatters and artists found a home there in the ’60s and ’70s. Thanks to the Jerome Historical Society, many of the buildings have been preserved. Today Jerome is bustling with visitors who can spend the day learning about the town’s history at the society’s mining museum; perusing the many boutiques; enjoying everything from cowboy grub to fine dining; and taking in the view.

WALLS BUILT between 1000 and 1400 by the Southern Sinagua, early inhabitants of Arizona’s aptly named Verde Valley, still stand high on a ridge in central Arizona. Called Tuzigoot, which in the Apache language means “crooked water,” the village housed up to 200 people in up to 87 rooms. Tuzigoot has been designated a national monument.

Helen Woodward hosts celebration for animal alums RANCHO SANTA FE — Helen Woodward Animal Center invites adopted alumni and all furry princes and princesses to a royal celebration of animal rescue.

The center’s annual Puppy Prom calls on four-legged friends to reunite since finding their happily-ever-after and rejoice … on the dance floor. Helen Woodward Animal Center’s seventh annual Puppy Prom is 10 a.m. to noon May 18 at Casa Sol y Mar, 12865 El Camino Real.

Dressed in fairytale attire for the storybook ball, pups and their parents are invited to enjoy corsage and bowtie making-stations, opportunity drawings, photos with prom-themed backdrops and treats for all.

Once again, Casa Sol y Mar will host the happy event and provide free light appetizers for the humans,

with 20 percent of all additional food/beverage sales from the event going back to HWAC. The festivities will culminate in the crowning of Best Dressed Prom King and Queen. Enter with a $10 fee, which supports the center.

Helen Woodward Animal Center loves its kitty alumni too and will honor them with a Best Dressed Kitty King and Queen Contest. To enter your rescue kitty, go online to submit a photo of your cat (dressed in their prom finery). Photos will be shared on our social media sites and voted on at the Puppy Prom by attending prom-goers with prizes awarded to the Best Dressed Kitty Prom King and Queen.

For more information, to RSVP and to register your cat or pup for the Best Dressed contest, head to animalcenter.org/puppyprom.

Pet of the Week With star-like qualities, Spot has a special gift for being in front of the camera, although it helps when you have no “bad side.”

Spot is a 10-month-old, domestic short hair who is curious, friendly and loves showing off his fluff. One look at his cute round face is enough to quickly become his greatest fan. He weighs about 8 pounds.

He’s waiting to meet you at Helen Woodward Animal Center. His adoption fee is $126. All pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center are vaccinated and micro-chipped for identification. Helen Woodward Animal Center is at 6523 Helen Woodward Way, Rancho Santa Fe.

SDUHSD selects top teacher, classified employee REGION — Matt Cunningham was named 2019 Teacher of the Year and Debbie Johnson was awarded the 2019 Classified Employee of the Year title for the San Dieguito Union High School District.

Cunningham began teaching in 1989 at San Dieguito High School and remained for 10 years before transferring to La Costa Canyon High School where he has been teaching for the last 21 years.

Cunningham has taught English at all levels of high school. He is known for his total dedication to the success of his students, and his unwillingness to never give up on them.

Debbie Johnson

Matt Cunningham

Cunningham has always shown a commitment to teaching the whole child, as opposed to simply delivering the curriculum.

When his students are writing in class, Cunning-

ham leads by example and does the same.

He shares his passion for the written word with his students, and it is “simply contagious” his supporters said.

Johnson, administrative assistant for Technology Services, has been with the SDUHS district since 1993 and in her current role for more than 18 years.

Those who nominated her highlighted Johnson’s “can do” attitude, patience, problem-solving skills, and student-focused service as some of the reasons she is an outstanding representative of classified employees.

As the district winners, Cunningham and Johnson will now advance to the San Diego County Employee of the Year Program administered by the San Diego County Office of Education.

A superbloom of craft breweries across North County craft beer in North County Bill Vanderburgh

S

ixty of San Diego’s 158 breweries and 46 satellite tasting rooms are in The Coast News’ coverage area.

The newest is Guadalupe Brewing’s tasting room in downtown Vista, which just opened on April 20. (You can see the full list of breweries and tasting rooms at my blog, CraftBeerInSanDiego.com.)

Thirteen additional breweries and tasting rooms are in planning for North County, too. Chances seem good that about 10 of them will open before the end of 2019, bringing the total to 70.

That might seem like a lot of craft beer locations, but it is equivalent to one location for about every 11,700 inhabitants in The Coast News coverage area. (By the end of 2019, it will be closer

to one for every 9,700 residents.)

That per capita rate doesn’t take into account all the visitors to the region who also help us drink our beer.

Consider Stone Brewing — the largest brewery in San Diego County and the ninth largest craft brewery in the country, according to the Brewers Association’s most recent ranking of breweries based on volume of production in 2018. Stone draws a huge number of beer tourists from around the globe to its World Bistro and Gardens at its Escondido headquarters.

Other old favorites of beer aficionados, such as Lost Abbey (in San Marcos) and Pizza Port (founded in Solana Beach and now with five locations, three of which are in North County), have been joined by newer ventures that are also drawing a lot of attention, such as Burgeon (Carlsbad), Bagby (Oceanside), and Wild Barrel (San Marcos).

Together, the concentration of high-quality craft breweries in San Diego fully justifies the moniker “The Capital of Craft.” The rep-

utation of San Diego breweries draws tourists from around the world. Beer vacations — or “beer-cations” as they are sometimes known — help add to our local economy.

The craft beer industry had an economic value of over $1.1 billion to the San Diego region in 2017, according to a 2018 report authored by the Office of Business Research and Analysis at

California State University, San Marcos. The number of breweries and the total volume of beer produced has only increased since 2017, so the current value of craft beer to the region is undoubtedly higher now.

Differences in local policies have a significant impact on where breweries and tasting rooms are located. While San Marcos has nine breweries, Encinitas

has just three tasting rooms and no breweries. Encinitas has 70% of the population of San Marcos but only 30% as many beer locations per capita. Vista has 20 breweries and tasting rooms, or one for every 4,701 people, making it about four times more brewery-dense than Encinitas and more than seven times more brewery-dense than Escondido. That means Escondido is missing out on economic benefits, not to mention making it harder for its residents and visitors to enjoy a very popular pastime.

Some people worry that the craft beer market is oversaturated. It is true that there is more competition than before, but the rate of closures among breweries and tasting rooms in San Diego is still far lower than that for bars and restaurants. Nationally, only 13.2% of the beer consumed is craft beer, with most of the rest still being “American adjunct light lager” produced by international conglomerates. Given that fact, there is still plenty of room for craft breweries who make quality beer and

have a smart plan for reaching new customers.

A recent report from the Brewers Association, a trade group that represents small independent brewers, shows that nationally craft beer sales grew by 4% by volume in 2018, despite the overall beer sector being down 1%.

Small and independent breweries now account for 13.2% of the volume of beer sold in the U.S. In dollar figures, however, since craft beer is normally sold at higher prices than mass-produced beer, these small independent breweries now own a 24.1% market share.

The number of craft breweries in the U.S. reached an all-time high in 2018: 1,049 new craft breweries opened and 219 closed, bring the total to 7,346 on a net growth rate of 13.2%.

San Diego, a more mature craft beer market than most other parts of the country, experienced a more modest net growth rate of 2% in 2018: 22 breweries closed and 25 opened.

However, there was a 40% increase in the number of satellite tasting rooms.

Belching Beaver builds beer and wine togetherness

B

elching Beaver is one of the leading craft beers in San Diego County. Sure I know, the area is loaded with crazy stories from the over 130 breweries in this region, some beer is garage made, others are billion dollar businesses.

At least 115 wineries operate in the county. Neither wine or beer are treated equally at drinking and eating establishments … until now. Belching Beaver has been a little different in its fast-growing history.

Their motto … DAM GOOD TIMES! Hospitality Director and Wine Sommelier Ralph Lizarraga and I talked about how the name Belching Beaver came to be.

“Well, I wasn’t there but the owners had a marathon drinking meeting over a name for this incredibly

taste of wine frank mangio good beer,” he recalled.

My guess is they chewed on it for hours, finally said they felt like belching beavers, and it was a done deal.

They are now in nine states and five countries, and locally they have five tasting locations and a production brew house in Oceanside.

Lizarraga went on that “the beaver shows up in just about everything we do and offer, from small bites to large dinners and he’s always grinnin’ and laughin’ like he’s havin’ a good time.”

The beer list never stops flowing from digi-

tized taps that change daily. There are 66 taps in the Tavern & Grill, including 34 “Beavers” and the rest other brands. Beaver names you’ll want to try include Peanut Butter Milk Stout, Here Comes Mango and Phantom Bride.

From burgers and Belching Beaver beer in the bar area, to comfy booths, decorative flame décor, and an executive chef with upscale entrees and lots of quality wine to pair, the grill side of Belching Beer Tavern & Grill will impress you.

Chef Romiro Guerra gave us a quick tour of the menu. His top rated appetizer is the Fried Cauliflower, locally grown and organic. His Chef’s Special was the Bone-in Ribeye, fire gilled with potato and vegetable, blue cheese crust and house-made steak sauce. I

Ramona wines score well at 8th annual competition

Congratulations to 10 of the Ramona Valley Vineyard Association members on their award winning wines, in competition in nearby San Diego’s Toast of the Coast County Fair competition. I was one of the founding judges in the first year of this event. Ramona is one of the few districts in Southern California where there is a trail of over 40 wineries for a day’s worth of premium wine tasting.

Significant victories went to Woof’nRose for Best Cabernet Franc and Best of Ramona Valley AVA. The judges tasted 820 wines from the 135 wineries including wines from Napa Valley, Sonoma, and Paso Robles. Other Gold winners from Ramona included Eagles Nest Winery for its Picpoul Blanc white dessert wine and Speckle Creek for their 2017 Falanghina.

Orenich started with a small darkroom in his garage and blossomed into a fine-art photographer with impressionable skills and an accomplished eye for composition.

There are very few spots on our planet that Orenich, his camera, and his passion for creating compelling images have not traveled.

Elements of nature, common to our lives can be transformed to creative imagery.

Orenich’s latest exhibit, “Face of Humanity,” is a view into the people, the culture and country of Tibet.

In this amazing exhibition, you will find a photographic journey of a culture on the brink of extinction. Its breathtaking vistas, monasteries, and spiritual culture being sub-

ject to 60 years of occupation.

Orenich traveled to the end of world, endured outlandish conditions, along with unimaginable situations in order to give us the scenery of a century.

Enduring altitudes to over 19,000 feet and sub-zero temperatures gave a real

appreciation to the resilience of the Tibetan people.

“I can say it was a life experience to be with these people, how they live, the welcoming of their culture”. “This should not be a forgotten land.”

This kind of humanity is the reason why Orenich continues to explore and

uncover the secrets of remote destinations in our world.

“Having traveled the world for most of my life, I've come to appreciate the fact we are more alike than different,” Orenich said.

Other parking info: Free parking with free shuttle service is always

available from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Follow the parking signs and you will find plenty of parking just off Lomas Santa Fe on Stevens Avenue and at the dirt parking lot just south of the entrance to Pelly’s Golf Center across from the Del Mar racetrack. Also, hundreds of free parking spaces in lots along Highway 101 and South Sierra Ave-

The event planners respect local businesses who will remain open during Fiesta Del Sol and it is important to allow parking for their customers who are conducting business during Fiesta Del Sol, they said.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Although the Big Cat might be receptive to more “purr-suasion” to get you to agree to a workplace change, make sure you can distinguish the fine line between facts and flattery.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your positive attitude in the workplace helps to get you noticed by the right people. Now go ahead and use some of that new self-confidence to help shore up a personal relationship.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Although you might still have to work out some problems with a business partner, things go more smoothly on the home front. An investment opportunity might need more study.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Don’t be reluctant to act on your suspicion. Even if others see nothing wrong, the astute Scorpio could sense an underlying problem that isn’t always obvious on the surface.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A new opportunity presents some obstacles that need to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Delaying action in hopes that the problems will go away could be counterproductive.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A friend or family member’s request might carry some hidden factors that could later create problems. Be sure you know all the facts before you make your decision.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A setback in implementing a plan could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Use the downtime to rework your original concepts and see where changes could be made.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might not be consciously fishing for compliments, but admit it — won’t you feel great when your efforts are noticed? So accept the praise gracefully. You earned it.

Eureka!, an all-American concept, opens its doors

and attend and graduate from MiraCosta College while juggling all those responsibilities.

The film begins with

Zahlia Alcala speaking to the audience about this man, who is not revealed to be her father until near the end.

But the film’s strongest message, the three said, is not looking at Ignacio Alcala as an immigrant, but rather as a man, husband, father and dedicated person paving a better path for him and his family.

“His story is so unique,” Odalis Ramirez said. “He really, truly embodies ‘El Sueño Americano.’ When I heard his story and what he had to overcome and where he is now, it was so inspirational. We wanted to capture and put it in the limelight that he is one of many immigrants, but is making something of his life.”

Melissa Ramirez said Ignacio Alcala’s best quality was his drive to further his education no matter the obstacles in front of him.

The deeper message, she said, is “if he can do it, so can we,” thus providing inspiration to others and

showing no matter the difficulties in one’s path, people can achieve their goals.

The production did hit a snag three days before the filing deadline, Zahlia Alcala said. The three lost all of their edits, so they had to go back and re-edit the entire movie over those three days, putting in countless hours to submit the film.

On Feb. 1, Ignacio Alcala’s birthday, the three students submitted the film and weeks later were notified of their win and all-expense paid trip to New York City from May 9 to May 12.

The trip is twofold: to celebrate those award winners and to award the national winner, who will move on to the international competition in Japan later this year.

“We were all crying,” Melissa Ramirez said upon hearing the news. “It’s just something extremely incredible. It’s a ceremony for the winners, but we are also planning on having a good time and seeing the city.”

VISTA — Looking through the lens of her father, Vista High School sophomore Zahlia Alcala found a vision.

So she, along with Vista High sophomore Odalis Ramirez and Vista Visions Academy sophomore Melissa Ramirez, turned her father’s journey from immigrant, to successful businessman and eventual college graduate into a compelling five-minute documentary film titled “El Sueño Americano!”

(The American Dream).

And the result was being awarded one of the top honors for high school film students, the Panasonic KWN New Vision Award and a trip for the trio to New York City.

“I thought of my dad because of all the hard work he does,” Zahlia Alcala said.

“I introduced it to the club and they all thought it was a good idea.”

The three budding filmmakers started the project

Theatre Camps for ages 12-21 For more intensive fun creative skill-building for Tweens and Teens The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep offers three different two-week full day performance camps for ages 1221.

Students will go from the audition process to performance in a fast paced, fun, and creativity enhancing experience to present a one-hour production in just two-weeks!

Director of Education, Ben Cole, says: “As a teen I always felt like the weird kid. I loved to read and be silly with my friends, but didn’t have a focus for all my energy. Then I found theatre and I realized everyone there was just as

“Some of our students have a lot of theatre experience and want to expand on their abilities, and some are just trying theatre for the first time. Our experienced staff specializes with meeting these different needs and keeping our relatively small class sizes focused and active,” adds Cole.

All camps focus on actor training, not on spectacle, and culminate in a showcase performance for family and friends.

We combine weekly private music instruction with group band rehearsals in front of live audiences in a concert setting.

Odd Files Florida!

Police officers in Indialantic, Florida, responded to at least seven calls about a man disturbing the peace on April 7. Patrons of Starbucks and Sassy Granny’s Smoothies, among others, were startled when 61-year-old Thomas Devaney Lane started yelling, calling himself “the saint” and threatening to unleash his army of turtles on the community. According to WKMG, Lane went along with an officer to the police station, where he screamed at the dispatcher and pounded on the walls, but then left the building.

He was located later at a 7-Eleven, verbally assaulting customers. As officers stood by, Lane called 911 and told the dispatcher, “I need to leave now or you will all be sorry you (expletive) with the saint.” Lane was charged with disturbing the peace, resisting arrest without violence and misusing 911.

Hormone Replacement Therapy: Looking at it with fresh eyes

By Jeffrey Pearson, D.O., F.A.O.A.S.M.

For decades, physicians and patients alike have been fearful of HRT, the logic being that – “if hormones are safe, then why do our bodies stop producing them? Clearly, they must turn evil after a certain age.” Alas, that is not true and enlightened physicians do their patients a service by recommending them for their patients at the appropriate time.

HRT is a means of replacing something necessary that gets lost. Best example would be an automobile – while it requires fuel to run, it also requires oil in the engine in order to prevent it from breaking down. Oil doesn’t suddenly “turn bad” after the first 100,000 miles. Neither do our hormones turn bad after a certain age.

While we run on food for fuel, our bodies require hormones to keep parts in repair.

What is a hormone?

It’s a chemical messenger wherein a gland tells another part of the body to do something. Most people are familiar with insulin (which regulates sugars and fat) and thyroid hormone (which regulates metabolism).

Likewise, estrogen and testosterone

perform important functions in our bodies (and incidentally, men and women produce BOTH of these).

Yes, our bodies do stop making these latter two hormones usually in our early 50’s (some earlier, some later). However, it is NOT because they suddenly “turn evil.” Rather, it’s due to the simple fact that 100 years ago, we were dead.

Think about it. A white female baby born in 1910 had a life expectancy of 52 years of age, a white male baby lived an average of 49 years. Blacks fared much worse. Remember: they did not have antibiotics nor any good treatments for high blood pressure or cancer. People died early and often, hence we didn’t see cataract, joint replacements or other surgeries because our bodies weren’t around long enough to wear out.

Thanks to science – the discoveries of antibiotics and treatments for other diseases, we’ve extended the lifespan for both men and women by 30 years. However, this is artificial life extension and not due to natural evolution. So, while we have the ability to prolong life into the 80’s, 90’s and even

WITHOUT HORMONES, our bodies continue to break down after a certain age.

100’s, without a body’s hormones, our bodies continue to break down. Look around and you can see the result of this – elderly men and women with spine changes causing them to hunch forward, among other things. And, it’s totally preventable.

Everyone is familiar with the more common complaints of women going through “the change” – hot flashes, sleep problems, mood changes, for example. These are generally transient lasting months to a few years. The old doctor’s advice was “Don’t worry, dearie, you’ll get

over them.”

However, the primary benefit to HRT is longterm protection against the body’s eventual breakdown. In women, hormones keep the “soft and squishy parts” soft and squishy.

Without estrogen, women’s bodies do not absorb calcium from the gut leading to osteoporosis (leading to fractures of spine, hips and wrists most commonly).

Estrogen, when started at menopause, helps protect women from heart disease and some studies suggest that they might help stave off Alzheimer’s.

Testosterone has re-

that, let’s say, if we were to smear estrogen onto a breast or testosterone onto a prostate that they would induce cancerous changes.

For example, it’s well established that the men with the highest levels of testosterone never develop prostate cancer at the time – those, of course are teenage boys.

And, furthermore, it’s the men with the lowest levels of testosterone who fare far poorer if they do develop prostate cancer.

However, if a breast or prostate were to develop a mutation that went on to become cancer, then HRT probably is not a good idea for those people. That’s an important distinction. In other words, hormones most likely do not cause cancer, but if a cancer were already to be present, they may feed them. (end of part 1 of article series)

In both men and women, it regulates sex drive (libido), brain function, muscle and bone mass, strength, and fat distribution. “But surely [Copyright, Jeffrey Pearthere must be a downside to son, D.O., F.A.O.A.S.M.] HRT, right?” That’s what Dr. Pearson is a Board-cerwas commonly believed, but recent studies have de- tified Family Physician and a past recipient of the national bunked many of the fears.

Smart home tech helps older Americans age in place May is Older Americans Month and this year’s theme of connecting, creating and contributing is made easier with smart home technology that helps our aging population connect with family and friends wherever they are in the world, create a safe and healthy home environment, and continue contributing their invaluable knowledge and life experiences in their community.

Smart home technology also makes it easier to “age in place,” which is important considering 90% of adults age 65 and older say they prefer growing older in their current home rather than uprooting and moving to an assisted-living facility.

Not only does technology empower seniors to live independently longer, it is often a less expensive option than moving. And it can be less intimidating than people think.

Technology is made “smart” by connecting devices to a high-speed Internet connection. Through a national smart home tour of

“Connected Independence” homes that had its origins in San Diego, Cox Communications has been demonstrating to communities across the country how smart-home technology gives seniors the ability to live independently at home, while providing adult children and caretakers peace of mind that their loved one is safe.

The connections technology can also combat the feelings of isolation common in older adults, as it’s easier to connect with friends, family and caregivers without leaving the home.

A connected home allows seniors to get the things they need in their daily routine while maintaining the quality of life at home.

Here are some technology highlights from Cox’s “Connected Independence” smart home tour: Telehealth allows patients to have live, personal interaction with their doctors via video conferencing while at home. This technology relieves patients from having to find transporta-

Consignment Classics — a better way to buy and sell home furnishings ENCINITAS — It’s Friday afternoon, and plenty of activity is happening inside Consignment Classics.

Families, friends and couples of all ages are perusing the aisles of the showroom. And with an expansive 20,000 square feet, there is indeed the space to hold something for everyone.

Consignment Classics has been an Encinitas staple for nearly 15 years, and it’s easy to see why.

Those looking to fill their homes or even just find that perfect missing piece are likely to find what they are looking for at a price point they can afford.

In addition to their main storefront, they also have a 4000 square foot décor showroom located right across the driveway that’s filled with a constantly changing selection

of unique items. On some days, they bring in more than 500 new pieces, so you’re always sure to find something that fits your style.

Furniture for every room, from new to vintage and mid-century is just the beginning.

The showroom is also adorned with rugs, sconces, art and jewelry. Customers can, and often do, spend hours treasure hunting with friends.

Items range from new to gently used, and the staff takes great care to ensure that every item is chosen and inspected carefully.

For those looking to downsize, the back of Consignment Classics is the place to go.

Customers can bring their consignments in daily between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., no appointment is neces-

tor, said the existing lock system is Schlage, so they looked at the Schlage suite of electronic locks to preserve the same manufacturer for all the locks on the site, both electronic or mechanical, such as closets.

New system features will include global lockdown capability, lockout capability, ID card readers, perimeter gate controls, and door monitoring by way of electronic locks with a LED light “lock” indicator on the school’s 71 classroom doors.

Holbert went on to say that the system’s zone control will allow individuals

into certain areas and not others.

“There was also a desire to get away from a physical key that when the master is locked, you have to rekey the entire site,” Holbert said.

Another safety enhancement will be a camera system outside of the school’s solid wood front doors with a large interior monitor for viewing.

According to Superintendent Donna Tripi, the work for the electronic access control system began during spring break and is continuing with work that can be done while school

is still in session. However, when the students leave in June, the rest of the installation will be completed along with lock testing.

Tripi said the new system will afford a safer environment.

“The teachers especially will have the proximity cards and won’t have to worry about whether their classroom doors are locked or not. Because right now they can’t tell, and they have to go completely outside of the door to lock the doors at this point,” she said. “There will be a much easier and safer way to conduct business day to day.”

encinitas @ consignmentclassics.net.

Many Rancho Santa Fe residents choose Consignment Classics as an altern-

tiave to estate sales that are prohibitted in their community. The decision is easy given the convenient location, as well as the ability

to consign everything from furniture to fine jewelry.

So how does consignment work?

Once your item has been accepted, you sign a contract that earns you 50% of the consigned selling price.

If your item doesn’t sell after 30 days, the sale price may be discounted.

It’s a simple way to unload unneeded items without any hassle, let the staff at Consignment Classics do the work for you!

As one employee said, “Once people realize it’s here, they ask ‘why would you shop anywhere else?’”

Consignment Classics is located at 201-D S. El Camino Real in Encinitas.

2 Canyon Crest Academy seniors named U.S. Presidential Scholars REGION — A pair of San Diego County students were named Presidential Scholars on May 7 by the U.S. Department of Education.

Canyon Crest Academy seniors Anne Liu and Michael Chen are among 10 California students to be honored as national scholars for academic excellence.

The Department of Education named a total of 161 high school seniors to the 55th class of Presidential Scholars.

The White House Commission on Presidential Scholars chooses each annual class based on their academic achievements as well as their demonstrated community service and leadership. More than 5,200 students qualified for this year’s class, according to the Department of Education.

Candidates either qualified through their SAT and ACT scores or were nominated by each state’s education officials.

The Department of Education and the White House will honor the Presidential Scholar class next month in Washington, D.C. Each student will receive a U.S. Presidential Scholars medallion during the ceremony.

“I want to congratulate this year's class of Presidential Scholars on their achievement both inside of the classroom and out,” said Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. “Their hard work and commitment to excellence, no matter what challenge they are tackling, will serve them well throughout their lifelong learning journeys.”

LICK THE PLATE

TASTE OF WINE

CONTINUED FROM 14

iar it’s because Alex pops up in Lick the Plate often bringing his culinary prowess to help launch some of my favorite places to eat in the area including Clara in Carlsbad.

The menu is simple yet obviously chef-driven with a focus on fresh ingredients and a playful mix of offerings. It has three sections, 1.0, 1.2, and 2.0 with prices ranging from $4 to $23, which is very reasonable given the quality of the food and the skill creating it in the kitchen.

The 1.0 section includes some of the best values on the menu including some of the best frites I’ve had anywhere. These are obviously hand-cut and they are amazing. The Pulpo & Papas (octopus and potatoes) is charred with a Piquillo Pepper and is a simple delight. The Albondigas & Marinara (meatballs in a red sauce) comes with ricotta and fired basil and is a very hearty starter that could almost be an entrée for one and it’s very good.

Heirloom Tomato & Burrata was another standout drizzled with a high quality Balsamic. Gazpacho rounded out our samples of starters and their version of chilled tomato soup had pickled cucumber and was light and refreshing.

Our 1.2 adventure started with the Mussels al Vino in a shallot-wine broth with herbs and some perfectly toasted bread for soaking up that delightful broth. I could eat their Yellow Tail Crudo with curry-pickled strawberries every single day and it would never get old. It’s that good. And while Mac & Cheese is nothing new on menus, they do it right, serving it in a mini cast iron skillet with pancetta and grantine.

another level and the pancetta was a nice touch.

Moving on to the 2.0 portion of the menu I was thrilled to see a simple Steak & Frites with Chimichurri as it is one of my favorite dishes ever. The steak came out sliced at a perfect medium rare and those spectacular frites I mentioned earlier are there to soak up the juice. Valentina is my new local go-to joint for steak frites and I’m quite happy about that.

Pescado del Dia is the daily fish option and on separate occasions I’ve had a really nice Grouper and Sea Bass. Preparations will vary on this but rest assured they will do it right. Gnocchi with a mushroom confit, ricotta and a brown-butter sauce was perfect rich and creamy

yet not too heavy. Some dishes I will be back for include the Chicken Palliard and Cochinita Pibil, a slow roasted pork dish with origins in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
