SB School District takes stand on access to marijuana BY KAREN BILLING The Solana Beach School District (SBSD) board passed a resolution June 29 opposing youth access to marijuana storefronts and commercial cultivation, seeking to protect its students and all children from the “harmful effects of marijuana” at a young age. The resolution states that the commercialization of marijuana through

storefronts and cultivation not only increases its availability but normalizes its use, leading to negative health consequences. The San Dieguito Union High School District passed a similar resolution in May and the Solana Beach School District worked with Judi Strang, the executive director of the San Dieguito Alliance for Drug Free Youth, to craft a resolution that reflects
elementary school-age students. SBSD President Debra Schade hopes that their resolution can serve as a model for other elementary districts around San Diego County. “The challenge for our board and the professionals working with youth is protecting the youth mind,” Schade said, a nod to the SEE MARIJUANA, A20

BY KAREN BILLING The Solana Beach School District (SBSD) has set attendance boundaries for students generated by new homes being built in Pacific Highlands Ranch in Carmel Valley — some students will be heading to Solana Ranch Elementary School while some will be attending Solana Santa Fe Elementary School in Rancho Santa Fe. The new assignments will take effect in the fall of 2017. On June 22, the board assigned families in Hallmark, Meadowood and a still unnamed development of 69 homes in “Unit 18” to Solana Santa Fe. At the previous board meeting on June 8, the board approved attendance boundaries for Almeria, Olvera and Casabella units to Solana Ranch and units of Artesana to Solana Santa Fe. “We like to be proactive and complete this process so when homes come online they are already assigned,” SBSD Superintendent Terry Decker said. “Over the next four years, we’ll add another 171 homes to the Solana Santa Fe boundary.” Decker said Solana Santa Fe’s current enrollment is at 328 students with a capacity for 437.

New science standards stoke exploration, discovery
BY KAREN BILLING As the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) board learned about the new Next Generation Science Standards on June 28, district science specialists challenged them with a science experiment. Board members and district staff, including DMUSD Superintendent Holly McClurg, donned safety goggles and got to work in pairs. Through the lesson, they learned what the Next Generation Science Standards promotes — instead of teachers telling students what to do, the
students lead their own exploration, look closely and make discoveries and conclusions on their own. As explained by district science specialists Stacie Waters and Nancy Swanberg, the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) were developed by the states to improve science instruction and were adopted in September 2013. Since the adoption, DMUSD science specialists have been working toward the full implementation in 2018. SEE SCIENCE, A20

Torrey Hills School will have new principal this fall
BY KAREN BILLING Kristin Stanton has been selected as the new principal of Torrey Hills Elementary School. Stanton will replace outgoing principal Monica Sorenson, who has requested the chance to teach again and will be in the classroom at one of the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) schools this year. DMUSD Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Jason Romero introduced Stanton as the new leader at the June 28 school board meeting, touting her expertise in instruction, her dedication to supporting the success of others and her ability to build strong relationships with children and adults. “She is a fantastic educator and super child focused,” Romero said. “Her love for children exudes through everything she does.” Stanton has a 13-year career in education that began in the Del Mar Union School Kristin District — she opened up Sycamore Ridge Stanton Elementary School, where she worked for 10 years as a fifth grade teacher. She has been a teacher on special assignment at Torrey Hills for the past two years, responsible for overseeing literacy development and intervention, and English language development support for English learners. Prior to her recent assignment, she served on several leadership committees within the district and county. “I feel like I’ve grown up in this district,” Stanton said. “I’m excited to continue on in this capacity and I want to thank the leadership for helping me to become the leader that I hope to be next year at Torrey Hills. I’m super excited to work with such a talented staff over there and with the community and the kids.”

Del Mar Schools Education Foundation raises $1.3 million for district kids
BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF) presented a check for $1.3 million to the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) on June 30. The contributions will make a big impact on the district’s STEAM + curriculum, which provides integrated, hands-on instruction by credentialed specialists in the areas of science, technology, engineering, arts, music and physical education. Six of the eight schools in the district
increased their revenue this year, led by Torrey Hills School which increased by $26,551 and Del Mar Heights School which saw an increase of $21,837. The foundation also saw a large boost in its corporate partnerships. The corporate matching program brought in $187,909 this year, an increase of $41,465. The foundation also benefited from 22 local businesses that “substantially” contributed to the district. The check presentation marked the end
of Ty Humes’ term as DMSEF President. Ocean Air’s Susan Polizzotto will take over as DMSEF President, leading a board of 32 members. For the first time in the 17-year history of the foundation, all eight schools will have at least three directors on the board. At the June 28 DMUSD board meeting, DMUSD President Doug Rafner thanked Humes for his service and for setting up a “wonderful legacy for the foundation for years to come.”

Top Secret Project takes unique look into the teen domain
CRIME LOG
BY KAREN BILLING The Hazeldon Betty Ford Foundation in Carmel Valley recently hosted The Top Secret Project, in which top addiction specialists work to uncover the mysteries in teens’ bedrooms and show how 150 seemingly harmless items, such as an apple or a can of dust cleaner, could be potentially hazardous in a teen’s domain. Specialist Jessica Wong, the regional director of business development for Hazelden Betty Ford and Cendee Palmer, the outreach manager for Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation in Minnesota, said typically they set up a mock teen’s bedroom with all of the items on display for parents to explore. Taking the show on the road made it a little more challenging but they still packed a lot of the warning sign items and a lot of useful information for the clinicians and parents present on June 28. “We couldn’t possibly talk about every item that a teen uses to either do drugs or that could be harmful or a potential warning sign for some other behavior they’re engaged in,” Wong said. “The conversation that we have with parents is to think about the environment that they have in their home and, in particular, in their son or daughter’s
Top Secret also showed parents what some teens are using for drug storage, such as books with pages carved out, lip balm containers, fake Coke cans, “dupe tubes” that look like feminine hygiene products, and clothing like hats that have secret compartments for stashing drugs. Other items in the Top Secret Project included dust cleaner that some teens are using as an inhalant or finding toilet bowl cleaner or laxatives in a bedroom that could point to a potential eating disorder. “We’re looking for a combination of items,” Wong said, noting that if you walk into a teen’s room and find an apple it doesn’t mean they’re smoking marijuana with it. “But if you find an apple with holes in it, it smells funny and your kid has been acting weird, you might have a scenario you might want to respond to.” In addition to smoking joints and pipes, Palmer shared the multitude of ways that teens are using marijuana, including in vape pens, edibles, THC drinks and marijuana wax. The wax, which teens are making on their own thanks to online instruction videos, is highly concentrated and can be smoked or inhaled. Although some states are cracking down on edibles that too closely SEE TEEN DOMAIN, A22

The Top Secret Project unlocked potential dangers of several items found in teens’ bedrooms, such as this necklace (front) that doubles as a marijuana pipe. bedroom and look at things differently: What could this really be? What could this be a sign of and how can I interpret this and get ahead of some of the things that kids are doing, to help get them help earlier and to keep our kids healthy.”
The presentation looked at different drug delivery systems that kids could have lying around their room, such as trumpet mouthpieces, inhalers, highlighters, fruit such as apples, and wearable jewelry that doubles as a pipe.

It’s All About Safety
Cycling experts say ‘ride with lights’ day and night BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Independent bicycle dealers, industry representatives and bike advocates attended the Rider Safety Visibility Summit, hosted by California Bicycle, Inc. at 7462 La Jolla Blvd. on June 22. Together, they drove a message home: To increase road visibility, bicyclists need to use lights for both day and night rides. NiteRider sales manager Mike Ely, whose mantra is “Lights, lights, lights, no matter what,” told the group, “six or seven years ago, while riding to work one morning, I saw an automobile, a motorcycle and a bike … two of the vehicles had lights on. The bicycle did not.” That’s why he’s dedicated the last few years to persuading cyclists that having and using lights can make a difference in the safety of a ride. “We need to arm ourselves to be a little more noticeable on the roads. It just takes that second — when you pop out of the environment, not blend in with the environment — to not be hit,” Ely said. Former La Jolla politician and bike enthusiast Nathan Fletcher, added, “It’s a cultural change; it’s hard and it takes time, however, just like the cultural change to wear seatbelts in a car and helmets on a bike, it’s possible.” Still, Skii Fleeton-Essenfeld, program coordinator for the San Diego County Bike Coalition, interjected, “That’s fantastic, however, in San Diego we know the best way to keep people riding bikes is infrastructure.
Rules of the Road for Bicyclists ■ Cyclists under age 18 are required to wear helmets in California. ■ Bicyclists are entitled to share the road with motor vehicles, and required to obey traffic laws just like motorists. ■ Cyclists must ride in the same direction as traffic, yield to pedestrians and signal with their arms when changing lanes or turning.
MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
Industry leaders and bicycle enthusiasts gathered at California Bicycle, 7462 La Jolla Blvd. on June 22 to shed light on rider visibility issues. We need to step back from forcing people to wear helmets, have bike lights, and put safety in numbers.” She said her husband was in a collision while riding his bike, even though he was “lit like a Christmas Tree.” Ely agreed that the push for safer cycling infrastructure needs to continue, but “while we push for those things, if cyclists were more visible, the collision and fatality rates would go down, and if that made people feel safer, and they rode more, we’d have more chances (for more bike lanes). One of the things I hear the most is, ‘Are you going to take space away from cars for the seven
people who ride bikes?’ ”
Like a Christmas Tree
At the bike summit, sports industry consultant Edward Clancy demonstrated products that could advance visibility. For example, a Bluetooth-activated helmet with lights and blinkers to let other vehicles know where the cyclist plans to turn next, light-reflecting sweatshirts and jackets, and a rub-on that makes the skin shine in light. Bike shop owner Bob Bandhauer said during the day, the most important thing a SEE BIKE SAFETY, A20
■ During darkness, bicyclists should avoid wearing dark clothing and must have: 1) a front lamp emitting a white light visible from 300 feet; 2) A rear red reflector or solid flashing red light that is visible from 500 feet; 3) a white or yellow reflector on each pedal or the cyclist’s shoes that is visible from 200 feet. ■ When passing a bicyclist, other vehicles should allow at least three feet of distance, slow down, and pass when it’s safe to do so. ■ Bicyclists may occupy the center of the lane when conditions, such as a narrow lane or road hazard, make it unsafe to ride in a position that allows other vehicles to pass.

‘Being Brain Healthy’ author writes new book ‘An Insider’s Guide to the Injured Brain’ addresses survivors and supporters BY LOIS ALTER MARK When local author Ruth Curran wrote “Being Brain Healthy” two years ago, she had no idea it was only the beginning of her contributions to the process of healing from a traumatic brain injury. Her book, subtitled “What my recovery from brain injury taught me and how it can change your life,” is a primer on keeping the mind sharp and clear. It’s filled with the exercises, tips and scientific research that Curran herself turned to while trying to deal with her own traumatic brain injury. “Honestly, once it was published, I thought I was done,” she said. “But what I realized pretty quickly was that the book opened a conversation that I hadn’t really intended – one that would allow a peek into what it actually feels like inside an imperfectly functioning brain.” The interest in “Being Brain Healthy” from people who were not suffering from a brain injury surprised Curran. Readers commented, “Oh, I didn’t realize how that felt” and “Really, you can lose your depth perception?” She decided she needed to write another book and, this time around, she had to address not just survivors of brain injuries but also the people who love, support them
Ruth Curran and Mary Lanzavecchia and interact with them on a daily basis. “Caregivers have unique needs that are often overlooked during the recovery process,” explained Curran. “They are on the front lines, often noticing subtle changes the survivor may not see or may plain out deny. And, in their own way, they need support too.” Curran created her new book, “An Insider’s Guide to the Injured Brain,” as a workbook because, as she explained, “It is invaluable to feel like you are actively pursuing healing. Stories may provide
COURTESY PHOTOS
insight but doing the work offers much-needed hope.” The workbook is meant to be a shared experience between survivor and supporter, so they continually view life through each other’s eyes and take the journey toward recovery together. In fact, the idea of sharing was so important to Curran, she collaborated with Mary Lanzavecchia, a friend and colleague who had also experienced a traumatic brain injury. “By working together, we validated that
our experiences – although different in many ways – were not unique or special to us as individuals,” said Curran. “The partnership gave us the opportunity to understand each other’s perspective. This spilled over to our families and our friends, and everyone involved got to see the world of brain injury through other lenses.” Lanzavecchia agreed. “The similarities in our emotions were staggering and surprising, even when the symptoms themselves were different. It made me feel like someone truly understood me, and we knew those common threads would be meaningful to so many others, as well.” Those common threads included feelings like frustration with the inability to SEE BRAIN, A22

Author plumbs deep, rich life of Ellen Browning Scripps ‘Great Lady’ left a treasure-trove of personal papers
Q: What were the challenges in dealing with all that material?
A: The challenging part is she had really terrible handwriting. I could understand why somebody didn’t dive right into it. I looked at her diary from 1909. It was tiny. I opened it up and thought, Oh, my God, I can’t read any of this. It’s all scribble, scribble. She was a journalist and had a shorthand that was peculiar to her. I studied 17th century British history. I know paleography, and I’m skilled at reading old and bad handwriting. But this took me about a month of reading her most legible letters before I could even touch the diaries. And then everything had to be double- and triple-checked to make sure my transcriptions were accurate. As it turned out, she was a subject well worth my time.
BY JOHN WILKENS Few philanthropists in San Diego’s history have had the impact of Ellen Browning Scripps. Money she made from her family’s string of newspapers helped fund schools, museums, parks, hospitals, oceanographic research, the zoo. She died in 1932. “She’s clearly the Great Lady of San Diego,” said Molly McClain, a University of San Diego history professor who has written a new 366-page biography of Scripps, “Ellen Browning Scripps: New Money & American Philanthropy” (University of Nebraska Press, June 2017).
Q: What did you find most fascinating about her life?
Q: Why did you want to write about EBS?
A: It came about rather by accident. I’d been asked to write a history of The Bishop’s School for its centennial. The development director there asked if I would mind going up to Scripps College and looking at the archives, Ellen Browning Scripps’ papers, to see if she had anything about the school in them. I thought, what a fun project. I’d be thrilled to read her personal papers. Historians love that kind of thing. So I went up there and I just stumbled onto a treasuretrove. There were nearly 20 file cabinets that

For a historian, it was sort of like a bubble bath of material. I thought someone must have written a biography of Ellen Browning Scripps and yet when I looked into it there hadn’t been anything published about her since 1966.
That was the last biography. I thought somebody really needs to do this. I was between projects and I thought this would be fun. And I got myself into what turned out to be a very long project because there is all this material. I felt duty-bound to go through it. That’s what historians do. We read everything.

This was right smack in the middle of the Victorian era when women were not supposed to be able to do these things, and when they did it, they didn’t get much credit.

At the University of Chicago commencement ceremony on Friday, June 9, graduating senior Andrew Chow Maneval of Del Mar was awarded the Stagg medal, which is given to the student with the best all-around record for athletics, scholarship and character. Maneval is the second Torrey Pines graduate to receive this University of Chicago honor. In 2015, Scott Mainquist from Carmel Valley was also chosen for the Stagg award. The Stagg Medal is named for Amos Alonzo Stagg, who was head football coach at the University of Chicago from 1892 to 1932. Stagg is considered one of the great innovators in the development of college football. Maneval and Mainquist graduated with honors from Torrey Pines High School in San Diego, where both were recognized as National Football Foundation athletes. In addition, Maneval was a

It speaks well of a high school to have two of its recent alumni appear on the list of Stagg Medal winners, and San Diego can give credit to the academic and athletic programs at Torrey Pines High School for this recognition. Torrey Pines School football coach Charles Doerrer, who worked with both Maneval and Mainquist during their high school years, had this to say about their achievements at
one of the nation’s top academic universities. “Both Andrew and Scott were exceptional athletes and team captains at Torrey. We are proud to see them grow as model citizens and community leaders.” Scott Mainquist is the son of Meredithe and James Mainquist; Andrew Maneval is the son of Edna and Daniel Maneval. Both families live in the Del Mar/Carmel Valley area. Scott is now studying law at Notre Dame University; Andrew is planning a career in medicine.

On Opening Day, Del Mar Yacht Club celebrates 25th anniversary BY SEBASTIAN MONTES When the party-loving masses return to the Del Mar Racetrack on Opening Day, one tradition will revive among the countless others: Bermuda shorts and flip flops a-plenty scattered throughout the sea of seersucker suits and Italian loafers. Because for the Del Mar Yacht Club, the arrival of the racing season is as much Jimmy Buffett as it is Bing Crosby. “We are Hawaiian shirts and thongs, we are tuxedos, we love it all,” says Greg McDonald, the club’s treasurer. For 25 years, the loosely knit social club has held dearly to its claim on the Seabiscuit skybox, the only one that has escaped corporate clutches. And with yet another sell-out, the club will raise a ruckus 150 people strong — friends, friends of friends, and the occasional celebrity — a far cry from the higher-brow crowds in the corporate skyboxes. Over that quarter century, the club has weathered the tempests of change. They’ve moved anchor (so to speak) from their initial gathering spots; nowadays their favorite haunts are En Fuego Cantina and Bully’s North, where the club’s insignia hangs proudly on the wall. They’ve
long since parted ways with the three boats their founding members hailed in their heyday. And the original 10 “Commodores” have winnowed down through death and departure to four devoted stalwarts manning the club’s figurative helm —Charles Coune, his wife Nadine, McDonald and Nora Nido — self-described knuckleheads keeping the club’s spirit alive. “Some people thought we were done, but it’s been revived,” McDonald said after the last of their 150 tickets sold out recently. There won’t be many better seats anywhere at the hallowed track on July 18 than the Seabiscuit skybox, poised above the horses’ turn for home as jockeys making their final, fateful moves and the crowd holds its collective breath. The sheer amount of track knowledge is daunting to consider, but theirs is a soiree keened more on good times than wild wagers. “Opening Day is always a tough card, trust me,” Charles Coune said. “We do not go big on the betting. A lot of the folks who don’t come to the track much but come on opening day, they see all those strange distances and make all sorts of exotic bets. We like to say they’ve got more

Everybody in the county, it’s the time to be someone.”

High number of players hoping to play for SDJA football team this year BY GIDEON RUBIN Ilan Leisorek made his mark on San Diego Jewish Academy’s soccer program earlier this year as a freshman, leading the junior varsity team to an unbeaten season. Leisorek is now preparing for another challenge. The incoming sophomore is part of a bumper crop of inexperienced but enthusiastic newcomers who showed up for spring football workouts earlier this year in numbers the football program hasn’t seen in years. Leisorek said he’s loved soccer as a participant and a spectator for as long as he can remember. He’s played youth soccer since he was 5 and plays club soccer locally with La Jolla Impact. And although the academically-focused Leisorek isn’t going out for football with the expectation of playing collegiately, he wants to take advantage of the opportunity at SDJA to add football to his sports repertoire. Leisorek played tackle football in SDJA’s youth program when he was in elementary school, and had to convince his parents to let him go out for football this year. The challenges of playing football, along with the comradery and fan enthusiasm are among the qualities that have always attracted him to the sport. Compared to soccer, “I feel like it’s a different type of adrenaline,” Leisorek said. “I want to experience the brotherhood.” He’ll be among 24 players going out for
ALEXEI PROHOROFF
Soccer player Ilan Leisorek wants to add football to his impressive athletic resume. the football team this year - the most they’ve had in years – to share the brotherhood with. Lions coach Skip Carpowich attributes the growth of the program to a renewed enthusiasm that grew from questions about whether the school could field a
team in recent years. The Lions were 5-2 last season, their best since playing 11-man football in 2009 and their first winning season since 2011. Their third-year coach has brought stability to a program that’s been in flux for most of the decade. Carpowich has the Lions competing in summer passing league tournaments for a second straight year. The Lions are back to playing 8-man football in San Diego Section’s Division VI. As is the case with many area small schools, SDJA, which enrolls about 180 students in the upper school (about 600 students are enrolled in K-through-12 at SDJA) fielding a team isn’t always that easy. Rock Academy and Calvary Christian, which both competed in Division VI last season, likely won’t have enough players to field teams this year. Horizon will launch a new program on the Division VI circuit. “Our trajectory now is really good just because we’re just building the program and the kids are coming out,” Carpowich said. “It’s a pretty close-knit community, so there’s already good team chemistry.” The Lions are likely to experience some growing pains. They return just one senior and just seven players with varsity experience. Leisorek is among a group of nine or so up-and-comers who’ve shown promise in spring workouts. Juniors Ruben Veinbergs and Jose Galicot, sophomore Eitan Breziner and freshmen Gabriel Simpser and Alejandro
Waiss are among the others. “There’s a lot of kids coming out to play football, and (Leisorek) is representative of that group,” Carpowich said. Leisorek projects to play wide receiver and defensive back. He set himself apart in spring workouts, winning an endurance challenge award. “He’s not just a really good athlete,” Carpowich said. “He sets himself apart with his character and his intangibles.” Although his football experience is limited, Leisorek believes his soccer background will benefit him, noting that as a goalie he developed field awareness and learned to read plays developing in front of him and to always be ready for the unexpected. “In football you have to be ready to catch the ball at any second,” Leisorek said. “I think my instincts will help me.” Leisorek said nobody at SDJA takes the football program for granted. The Lions became the first Jewish school to field a team in the nation and remains one of the few. “I remember last year they were looking everywhere to find players, you just hear the stories about how every year they have to find players around the school to get them to play and this year it’s a pretty big number,” Leisorek said. “I’m aware that we’re the first Jewish high school to have a football team, that’s really important to me; and I feel like that’s something really cool that’s unique about our school and I want to help it last as long as I can.”

Del Mar History: Think there is traffic now? Did you know that ... Almost 30,000 cars a day sped through downtown Del Mar on what is now Camino del Mar before I-5 was opened on June 21, 1966! Not just the sheer volume of cars but at 40 m.p.h. When you look at the above picture taken looking north from 11th Street, it is easy to see how it got its name, “Gasoline Alley.” Until 1966 it was the main thoroughfare between L.A. and San Diego. What do you think Camino del Mar will look like in 50 years? Thanks to Nancy Ewing and her book “Del Mar Looking Back” for all the good history. For more information about her book and the Del Mar Historical Society, go to www.delmarhistoricalsociety.org or drop the Del Mar Historical Society a note at 225 9th St., Del Mar, CA 92014 or email info@delmarhistoricalsociety.org.

CV resident among honorees recognized Thriving Encinitas American Legion at Jewish Family Service Annual meeting Post 416 installs new team of officers Jewish Family Service of San Diego (JFS) recognized eight individuals and one committee with special awards during its Annual Meeting Luncheon on June 13 at the agency’s Joan & Irwin Jacobs Campus in Kearny Mesa. The honorees included Carmel Valley resident Jacob L. Sperling who received the JFS “Jack and Loraine Stern Volunteer Recognition Award” for his work as a data entry volunteer for Community Impact Committee and Serving Older Holocaust Survivors (SOS). Sperling has been volunteering for nearly two years. A press release stated: “Sperling often shows patience when he is handed a mountain of data to input. He’s constantly looking to improve systems and procedures. He’s friendly and personable with everyone he shares space with. Sperling has gone above and beyond simply being a data entry volunteer. He utilizes his previous work experience to assist JFS’s departments with improving processes. Data entry can be a dry, somewhat tedious task, however, Sperling completes his work with pride and humor. The data he has entered has largely contributed to the outcomes the Aging and Wellness division has to show on a quarterly basis.” Since 1918, Jewish Family Service of San Diego has been a trusted community resource for individuals and families working to build better lives. Operating throughout San Diego County and the Coachella Valley, the agency’s integrated services are focused around three goals:

On Saturday, June 10, Encinitas American Legion Post 416 held its installation for the new team of officers. Post Commander Steve Lewandowski turned over the reins of Commander to former First Vice George Barlow. In the past three years the post has seen a remarkable resurgence. The post was in danger of closing its doors because many of the WWII and Korea-era veterans were passing away at an alarming rate -- within a year’s time the post would have run out of money. So a new team of officers came in with a “Can Do” spirit and they stopped the slide and built things back up. The post has recruited over 500 members to the American Legion family in just the last three years. It also won the “Boots On The Ground” trophy for having the most new members out of the 29 American Legion Posts in San Diego County. The post also received the National Commanders Award of Post Excellence given to fewer than 1 percent of the American Legion Posts in the country. Post 416 was ranked number 1 in the state of California out of 462 American Legion Posts. Most importantly, members of the post have performed more than 20,000 hours of community service for veterans and their families in San Diego County within the past year. Outgoing Commander Steve Lewandowski was awarded Legionnaire of the Year for Post 417 as well as Encinitas Elk’s Distinguished
Outgoing Commander Steve Lewandowski with his numerous awards. Citizenship Award. Additionally, County Supervisor Kristin Gaspar recognized Lewandowski with a proclamation from the county supervisors as “Steve Lewandowski Day” for Saturday, June 10. He was also presented with a proclamation from Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear, presented by Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz, and a proclamation from Assemblyman Rocky Chavez.
Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe to host career-building event for youth The Village Church of Rancho Santa Fe is hosting a free career-building event Sunday, July 30, where successful entrepreneurs and industry leaders will meet with teens and young adults to share inspiring stories of how they practice their Christian faith in the workplace and advice on landing your desired job. The event is part of the church’s new Faith and Work Initiative featuring members of the congregation reaching out to the next
generation of leaders. “Today’s job market is so competitive that young adults need to focus on preparing for a career while still in high school. The Village Church can respond to that need by leveraging the professional richness our congregation provides,” explains the Rev. Dr. Neal Presa, associate pastor. Presenters will include leaders in the real estate, biotech, legal, software and entertainment industries. In addition to a Q & A panel, each speaker will present an overview
of job opportunities in their industry and address how faith has played a role in their work life. Teen participants also will receive advice on preparing for tests such as the SAT, MCAT, LSAT and GRE, and all attendees will have valuable networking opportunities with panelists. “As Christians, we are called to love God and love our neighbor in all that we do,” adds Presa. “The Faith and Work Initiative will help reframe our thinking about the workplace so
everyone can live out their faith in every part of their life.” The free event is open to everyone from age 15 to 30. It will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Village Church campus and lunch will be provided. Registration is now open.

North Shore 8U Gold team earns a berth in the State Championships The North Shore 8U gold all star team had an amazing weekend recently in the double elimination district championship. The team stumbled out of the blocks, losing a tight battle on Friday evening to 4S Ranch (2-3). The loss did not deter their confidence and they showed up Saturday with a plan of running through the loser’s bracket. And the run commenced with victories over Rancho Bernardo (11-2), Carlsbad (4-3) and Scripps Ranch (7-5). The SR victory guaranteed at least a 4th place finish and an invite to the state championship. But North Shore wasn’t finished. They picked up right where they left off on Sunday morning with a rematch victory over 4S Ranch (7-1).

Democrats and the teachers union
T
he strong ties that have historically bound members of the Democratic Party to teachers unions appear to be loosening. When steadfast Democrats in Sacramento resist the unions and sponsor bills like Anthony Portantino’s (later school start times) and Shirley Weber’s (teacher tenure), it indicates that even traditional liberals are beginning to push back against unions that claim “students first.” A May 28 San Francisco Chronicle story titled “Democrats clash over California Schools” highlights the split in the Democratic Party over how best to address the deficiencies in California’s public schools. From the story: “The future of public education in California has become a tug-of-war between camps within the Democratic Party. Democrats aligned with organized labor – who dominated local and legislative races for many years – are now facing formidable challenges from Democrats who see overhauling some union rules as a key to improving education.” Despite years of hand-wringing over how best to accelerate learning and close that stubborn achievement gap, little has changed. “Slightly more than half of the state’s students cannot read and write at their grade level, results from last year’s testing show, and 63 percent aren’t meeting standards in math,” the article states. Former charter school administrator and
Democrat Marshall Tuck, who is running for state superintendent of schools, is quoted in the story, saying, “We’ve learned to live with failing schools. Our party has not prioritized education the way we need to.” Those traditional alliances are being strained, as more and more citizens and politicians see that the state of public education in California has not advanced, despite increased state funding to schools in the last few years. Portantino’s bill to move school start times later is an example of a simple change that would vastly improve student health and academic achievement. Yet the union opposes it. Weber’s bill to extend the probationary period for granting teacher tenure from two years to three – and even to four or five years if teachers are still developing the skills they need to succeed – is also triggering opposition from the union. Weber, a state legislator and staunch Democrat with impeccable credentials, has years of experience on and with local school boards and is a former faculty member of San Diego State University. She understands better than most the inner workings of public education in California. So her push to extend teacher tenure beyond two years is notable and hits at the core of the union’s sole purpose which is to implement policies that benefit teachers.
www.delmartimes.net From a Los Angeles Times May 11 feature story on Weber: “The union is a huge political player with hefty campaign bankrolls. It exerts strong influence over Democratic legislators. Not so much over Weber, though.” She is “not afraid to buck the Democratic establishment.” Tenure The tenure issue is hugely contentious, because the California Teachers Association opposes any extension beyond the two years, claiming, according to a June 8 EdSource report, that “two years is enough time on which to judge a teacher’s long-term potential.” In a San Diego Union-Tribune op-ed two years ago, Weber wrote, “The current K-12 tenure system is irrefutably broken. Most educational experts agree that it takes about five years to master the skills and pedagogies requisite to teaching. But California’s system forces a district to decide to either offer a teacher tenure or issue a pink slip after only about 18 months – clearly not enough time to develop skills or demonstrate competence.” It’s less than a full two years before tenure decisions must be made, due to the required March 15 deadline to notify teachers of their employment status. Many superintendents and school principals would agree with Weber. Said one in an online post, “The 18-month probationary period is frequently too short, especially in the case of beginning teachers who may struggle in their first year and need more time and support to demonstrate their effectiveness.” Weber’s bill, Assembly Bill 1220, was watered down when the Assembly Appropriations Committee, chaired by San Diego’s Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, eliminated the optional fourth and fifth year. The CTA opposes this revised version as well. SEE SUTTON, A19
GUEST COMMENTARY
Perseverance pays off in rate case ruling BY MARK MUIR hen the San Diego County Water Authority filed its initial rate case lawsuit in 2010 against the Los Angeles-based Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, we knew it would be a marathon. Seven years later, we passed another important marker in the long-running litigation when a June 21 ruling by the state Court of Appeal sided with the Water Authority and the San Diego region on several significant issues. The decision includes a few key takeaways: •The Water Authority has a right to significantly more water from MWD than MWD had credited. A correct calculation of the Water Authority’s preferential rights confirms the agency’s right to tens of thousands of acre-feet more water annually for the San Diego region – a water supply about twice the amount produced annually by the $1 billion Carlsbad Desalination Project. •MWD collected tens of millions of dollars in illegal charges from San Diego ratepayers for “water
W
stewardship.” MWD used this money to fund local supply and conservation projects for some MWD member agencies. • MWD’s “Rate Structure Integrity” contract clause is unconstitutional and the Water Authority has legal standing to challenge it. The RSI clause was designed to punish the Water Authority for its decision to challenge MWD’s rates in court and prevent the Water Authority’s member agencies from receiving funding for local water supply project development. • MWD breached its contract with the Water Authority, which required MWD to set legal rates. Unfortunately, the Court of Appeal also ruled against the Water Authority on an issue with statewide implications – whether MWD must base its rates on the costs it actually incurs in providing its various services. Legal, cost-based rates are a fundamental element of the San Diego region’s ongoing efforts to provide a safe and reliable water supply that supports 3.3 million residents and a $222 billion regional economy. The Water Authority argued successfully at the
trial court that state law and the state Constitution require MWD to charge for services only what it costs to provide them. MWD convinced the Court of Appeal to reverse the lower court ruling on this key finding. We are concerned about the chilling effect this ruling could have on water transfers and their benefits for the environment. With so much at stake, the Water Authority will seek review of the appellate court ruling by the California Supreme Court. From the start, this case was expected to land at the state’s high court. While the June 21 decision secured several important victories for San Diego County, we remain determined to see this case through to a successful conclusion – and we will continue to rely on support from the region’s ratepayers, business leaders and elected officials every step of the way. More information about the case, including court documents, is at www.sdcwa.org/mwdrate-challenge. Muir is Board Chair for San Diego County Water Authority.

Brookdale volunteer honored for his exemplary work, 95th birthday
A
95th birthday celebration and appreciation event was held June 25 for Nicholas Episcopo, a longtime volunteer at Brookdale Carmel Valley, a senior living community. In addition to a birthday cake, champagne and delicious Italian food, Episcopo, a military veteran, was awarded a gold medal plaque for his exemplary volunteer work at Brookdale. Episcopo's wife lived at Brookdale for a time and after she died he started volunteering there. Episcopo volunteers in several areas, including as a bingo caller, helping to run the community store and beading class, and as a master Italian cook. Brookdale Carmel Valley Program Director Carol Pisnieski said that in her 25-year career in three states she has never worked with a volunteer who has as outstanding a work ethic as Episcopo does. Several of Episcopo's family members attended the event, including his two sons who are United States Naval Academy (USNA, Annapoli) graduates.

A band performed at the June 25 birthday celebration and appreciation event held for Nicholas Episcopo at Brookdale Carmel Valley. FROM SUTTON, A18 EdSource says 42 states have probationary periods of three to five years. More transparency Weber is also pushing for more transparency in access to achievement data, to understand if Gov. Jerry Brown’s local control funding formula, which grants districts more autonomy and increased funding for underserved students, is having any noticeable effect. “California’s new system for funding public education has pumped tens of billions of extra dollars into struggling schools, but there’s little evidence yet that the investment is helping the most disadvantaged students,” according to a June 18 report by the non-profit CALmatters. “The state has spent tens of billions of dollars trying to lift poor kids and not one penny evaluating whether any of it is working,” said Bruce Fuller, an education policy professor at the University of California Berkeley, in the report. Another example of Democrats willing to challenge union power is Gloria Romero, the Democratic majority leader of the California State Senate from 2001 until 2008, who described her disillusionment with unions and how they use their power, in a 2013 op-ed in the San Diego Union-Tribune which I’ve
saved because it was so eye-opening. Here are excerpts: • “The most influential public-sector union is the California Teachers Association … it commands the most powerful war chest in California …” • “From 2000-2010, CTA spent over $210 million on political campaigning – more than any other donor in the state, outspending the pharmaceutical, oil and tobacco industries combined.” • “Its political war chest is legendary, allowing it to dominate elections, including school board races …” • “California’s teachers are among the highest paid in the nation; yet there is little accountability for student achievement or teacher performance. Tenure and seniority are protected. Laws make it almost impossible to fire teachers for incompetence or misconduct.” •“Until legislators are willing to put student interests over party interests, we will continue to fund failing schools.” False accusations These are welcome conversations to have – all the more remarkable because they have been initiated by Democrats who have concluded that fundamental change is required for even a remote chance of improving academic performance and preparing California’s struggling children for a successful future.
Honoree Nicholas Episcopo with his grandchildren Erica and Wesley.
These politicians make it possible, even acceptable, for citizens who care about education to challenge union-backed positions and candidates, and not be made to feel guilty over false accusations that they don’t care about kids or schools. There’s work to do to ensure that candidates for school board are obligated to no one and nothing except their deep commitment to improving the state of public education. Speaking up at school board meetings and protesting bad policy decisions are critical to the effort. Following on last week’s theme, it’s time to reject the notion that teachers unions represent the best interests of students. That’s not what they’re about. As the link between unions and Democrats begins to unravel ever so slightly, taxpayers on the left side of the political spectrum are becoming more comfortable questioning union goals and criticizing school board members for irresponsible spending and bad fiscal policy. There are good reasons to be disenchanted with traditional union policies and the bully tactics used to push union agendas and their candidates. That does not make people conservatives or liberals. It makes them sensible. Opinion columnist and Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

FROM MARIJUANA, A1 resolution’s statement that youth marijuana use can affect the parts of the brain that influence memory, thinking, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement. “(The resolution) is about being able to bring that child through their brain development in the best possible way so as they enter the classroom we’re able to teach them and they’re able to grow. This is a really important issue for me as well as other members on the board.” Schade said the research on access included in the resolution is “startling.” According to the California Healthy Kids Survey, youth are using marijuana more than tobacco in San Diego County. Government data shows that almost 40 percent of U.S. high school students have tried marijuana, about 20 percent are current users, and close to 10 percent first tried it
before age 13. The resolution states that in Colorado, where recreational marijuana is legal and commercialized, youth use of marijuana is 50 percent above the national average, and marijuana-related traffic deaths increased 92 percent from 2010 to 2014, while all traffic deaths increased only 8 percent during the same time period. In Colorado and Washington, where recreational marijuana is legal and commercialized, emergency room admissions for accidental poisoning due to marijuana ingestion by children under the age of 12 has increased by 25 percent over the last three years. While California passed Proposition 64 in November 2016 legalizing the recreational use of marijuana, Schade said each jurisdiction can put together tighter restrictions and safeguards. Solana Beach has banned medical
FROM SCHOOL, A1 generation factor, Decker said with the new homes they could add about 74 students altogether, leaving 35 spaces still available. He noted that if they see a higher generation factor, adding 105 students over a four-year period, they will be close to capacity at the school. Decker noted that Solana Santa Fe is in the next big round of Prop JJ modernizations, scheduled for completion in 2020-21. SBSD Board President Debra Schade said they may consider moving that up if the district sees accelerated growth in Pacific Highlands Ranch and higher student generation numbers. While most of the homes that the district assigned are yet to be built, there are some families who purchased homes in Pacific Highlands Ranch with the belief that their home school was Solana Ranch. There are three families with two children living in Meadowood that will be impacted by school of attendance change. The students are currently attending Solana Ranch and will be entering the sixth, second and fourth grades. Decker said he is not recommending “grandfathering”
marijuana cultivation and dispensaries and, in March, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors banned medical and non-medical marijuana facilities in the unincorporated areas of the county. In January, the city of San Diego legalized recreational pot dispensaries and opened up the possibility to allow farms, manufacturing facilities and testing labs. Any potential recreational marijuana shop can be within 1,000 feet of schools, parks and other sensitive uses if there is a freeway, wall or some topographical feature in between. The closest marijuana storefront location in North County is on Roselle Street in Sorrento Valley. Each City Council district will be allowed four storefronts and Strang said it appears all four of District 1’s storefronts will be in Sorrento Valley. A second proposed storefront is 1,000 feet from a building that houses the San Diego Youth Orchestra. Strang said they have argued
those students into Solana Ranch but instead having the students go through the traditional method of applying for an intradistrict transfer. Board member Julie Union advocated for making an exception for the students, as there are only three of them. Union said she’s heard from other families who have gone through the intradistrict transfer process and just how “emotional and upsetting” it can be when students don’t find out until the week before school starts where they will be attending. “It’s really impacting on their lives to have to find out every year if they’re in or not,” Union said. As Solana Ranch nears capacity, Schade said the intradistrict transfer decision is one that each family will have to make for themselves — instead of taking the risk of not being able to attend Solana Ranch as it fills with students who live in the attendance area, parents may ultimately decide to just attend their home school of Solana Santa Fe. Schade said the good news for families is that Solana Santa Fe is a “wonderful” school, and the choice for families is between two great schools.
against the location’s proximity to children but as the building also houses businesses, the city considers it a multi-use and not a minor-oriented facility. SBSD Superintendent Terry Decker said it appears there will be a “significant concentration” of shops in that Sorrento Valley area, home to many student and family-oriented uses such as learning centers, art studios, a karate studio and a volleyball gym. Decker said it’s important to increase awareness about their concerns and board member Richard Lieb agreed about the lack of regulation: “We need to be very vigilant about it.” “I think the most important thing that this resolution says is that we do not want these storefronts in close proximity to our students… not only students in our schools but any institution that houses young minds,” board member Vicki King said.
Union still said she would like the district to consider changing the intradistrict transfer process to let families know sooner which school their children will be attending. Board member Vicki King said the decisions on attendance boundaries are tough, especially when acknowledging the “elephant in the room”— the location of the district’s potential eighth school in Pacific Highlands Ranch, 10 acres on Golden Cypress Place in the middle of homes just assigned to Solana Santa Fe and Solana Ranch. Some homes next to the new school may be closer to Solana Ranch — “I think we’re at the beginning of some tough decisions to make,” King said. The district has an option to purchase the land when development reaches 1,500 dwelling units in the Solana Beach School District’s attendance boundary in Pacific Highlands Ranch — that target is expected to be triggered in 2019. “With the accelerated growth in that area ... the decisions are going to get harder,” Schade said. She said making a clear-cut decisions now and being proactive is the best move for the board to make as the next pieces of development loom ahead for the district.
FROM SCIENCE, A1 Waters said that the new standards were developed to address “lagging achievements” of U.S. students. “Children here in the U.S. aren’t being prepared for the jobs of the future,” said Waters, a specialist at Ocean Air Elementary School. “We have to provide a deeper understanding of science and engineering practices and content.” Waters said the inefficiencies of the 1998 California Science Standards were that they did not connect with the real world and there was limited opportunities for student engagement and inquiry. Swanberg said there are three dimensions of science learning in the NGSS that encourage students to investigate and ask questions, define problems, develop and use models, analyze data and communicate their findings and defend their explanations. The NGSS stresses “crosscutting concepts,” helping students explore connections across the four domains of science and to develop a “coherent and scientifically-based view of the world around them.” Swanberg said that under the old model of the 1998 standards, teachers led the investigations and students read textbooks to answer questions. “Now we’re asking for that deeper understanding, for students to ‘do’ and apply concepts,” Swanberg said. Students now lead the investigations and instead of reading just a textbook, they read multiple sources and synthesize what they have learned and read. “Students have more ownership in what they do and are encouraged to make their own discoveries,” Swanberg said. “This is our new vision for science through 2022 and beyond. The teachers are really excited about it.”
FROM BIKE SAFETY, A6 cyclist can have is a bright, blinking front light. “The rear light (although recommended), is not quite as important in the daytime,” he said. He recommended LED lights around the wheels and the bike frame for night rides. “Your wheels are lit up (and
motorists) can see you from every angle. They cost $10-$12 per wheel installed.” Another bike shop owner, Brent Garrigus, said he’s been fighting the battle solo to get bicyclists to wear lights for many years. “Now, if we can get the bike shop owners to work as a group, we can use that leverage with the larger (bike) clubs and say, ‘We’ll

“Lights are great, we sell them all day long, but there’s a bigger factor; distracted drivers,” Garrigus continued. “The big thing

is text messaging. We have customers who won’t ride (because they don’t feel safe),” he said. “If the ticket for texting and driving was $2,000, it would stop.” Circling back to the meeting’s first point, Fletcher offered, “No light is going to solve the whole thing, but if everyone was more visible, it would help.”

FROM ELLEN BROWNING SCRIPPS, A8 came to California that she suddenly blossomed. She had retired from active work in journalism but started investing in Scripps papers. She and her brother E.W. Scripps essentially make a fortune on this new group of papers that are going to become the Scripps-Howard papers. Then having created all this money, she decides to give it all away. She really made San Diego the kind of cultured place that it is today.
Q: When she came to San Diego, she wasn’t that impressed. What made her stay?
A: She found in La Jolla this really interesting community of women, many of them college-educated, a little avant garde. They were writers and artists, kind of Bohemian, and she really took to them. She was rather a free-spirit herself and had very different opinions about religion, about politics, and she found a group of like-minded people. And can you imagine what La Jolla must have looked like without all the buildings? It must have been a paradise. She described the natural beauty as extraordinary, and she was a very keen observer of nature.
Q: What is her greatest legacy in your opinion?
A: I think it has to be the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Clearly that’s one of the greatest scientific research institutions in this country and perhaps the world, making really important progress on issues like climate change. Of her investments, that was definitely the most important.
Q: Why did she stop working as a journalist? COURTESY PHOTOS
‘Ellen Browning Scripps: New Money & American Philanthropy’ is $34.95 at nebraskapress.unl.edu
A: She turned about 50 and her brothers found that they had no more need of her on the newspapers. Her brother James said, “I’ve got these competent young men. You can take it easy, Ellen.” Her other brother, E.W., said, “I’d love to find some work for you, Ellen, but I can’t find a place.” She
was edged out of the family business. She got the gold watch. And that was very hurtful to her because she had been one of the reasons the Detroit Evening News was a success.
Q: Why is it important for us to reflect on the life of someone who made her mark 100 years Molly McClain is a history ago?
professor at University of A: We live in an age much like San Diego, an author and the Gilded Age. These co-editor of the ‘Journal extraordinary fortunes are being created and being passed down. of San Diego History.’ You have people who have more money than they ever imagined. And the question is, what do you do with that? Do you create an American aristocracy, passing it down through family hands, or do you spread the wealth and recognize that there is a large community of people who could be helped by philanthropy? It’s easier to ask ourselves questions about the present when we look at history and say, “What did other people do in a similar situation? Who founded these institutions and why did they do it?”
Q: As you note, the Children’s Pool was her last big gift to San Diego. What would she have made of the controversy about the seals there?
A: On the one hand, she gave the pool for children. That was its intended use. I imagine she would want it continued to be used that way. But on the other hand, she was also a naturalist. She was someone who deeply cared about the environment, loved nature, and would not want to see any harm come to the seals. So I think she herself would be in a sticky spot on that question. — John Wilkens is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

communicate accurately, impatience with the process of healing, grief over the loss of self, the overwhelm of constantly being bombarded with sensory information, and, most of all, the sense of being in a constant fog. “Understanding these feelings can help everyone,” said Lanzavecchia, “because, statistically, we are all more likely to know someone who has had a brain injury than someone who has had cancer.” According to the Center for Disease Control, every 16 seconds, a person in the United States suffers a traumatic brain injury. That means there can be close to two million new survivors annually. In addition, another 800,000 people suffer a stroke each year. “TBI and stroke survivors can face impaired thinking, changes in sensory processing, and altered emotional functioning, among other challenges,” said Lanzavecchia. “All of these issues can have lasting effects on the survivors, their families and their communities.” The exercises included in the book evolved from Curran and Lanzavecchia’s personal experiences. They tested every exercise personally and modified them based on what they learned themselves, from each other and from their family members. This fall, Curran will be following what she believes to be the most valuable, ongoing exercise in the book. Straight out of Chapter 15 of “An Insider’s Guide to the Injured Brain,” she will be leading book clubs for stroke survivors in San Diego. She’ll also be continuing her ongoing work with the San Diego Brain Injury Foundation, a nonprofit organization that offers outreach, support and education for survivors and caregivers locally. “An Insider’s Guide to the Injured Brain” and “Being Brain Healthy” are both available on Amazon, Kindle and Audible.

market to children, Palmer said there is a lot of risk for youth associated with edibles. She gave the example of a marijuana gummy bear — one bear has enough to get one person high but it takes much longer to go through the metabolic system. Younger users that are unaware will tend to pop more than one candy which can lead to THC intoxication or poisoning. In Colorado, emergency room visits for accidental poisoning due to marijuana ingestion under the age of 12 has increased 25 percent since recreational marijuana became legalized. Wong also talked about the rise of prescription drug abuse among teens. “Opioid use is not new….When I started at Hazelden 13 years ago about 10 percent of our clients were admitted for treatment from adolescent young adult perspective for dependence to heroin,” Wong said “At this point, 50 to 60 percent of our clients are admitted with opioid dependence. The difference between what was happening 13 years ago and what’s happening now is the connection that heroin has to the prescription medications that are often times legitimately prescribed for real pain.” The United States makes up 5 percent of the world’s population but consumes 80 percent of the world’s oxycodone and 99 percent of hydrocodone. In 2015, there were 52,000 deaths in one year from opioid overdoses, more than the 38,000 who died in car crashes and more than the 43,000 who died during the HIV/AIDS epidemic in 1995. Wong said sometimes when she gives this presentation, she is approached by parents who say that the information is helpful but their child is still pretty young. She points to a statistic that 13 percent of those with substance abuse disorders began by using marijuana by the time they were 14 years old. “It’s really easy to get into the mindset that ‘This is not my kid, this is not my family, this is not my neighborhood.’ Addiction and mental health are not issues that only effect a certain types of people in certain places. It can happen to all of us,” Wong said stressing the importance of awareness for parents. “The reality is, every kid that enters one of our treatment facilities across the country, the parent has at one point said ‘That will never be my kid.’” Wong said she often hears pushback from parents about not wanting to go into their child’s room or invade their privacy. She said being aware of their space doesn’t mean tearing rooms apart or doing prison-style searches. As a parent she said she could communicate with her daughters via text message but instead she goes into their room to ask what they want for dinner, talks to them and takes note of their environment and their behavior. “The safety of our kids trumps their privacy,” Wong said, using a powerful example from Sue Klebold, the mother of Dylan Klebold, one of the Columbine shooters. In her book, “A Mother’s Reckoning,” Klebold said she might have been able to do something to prevent the tragedy that happened if she had seen before two items she found in his room after his death. One was his stash of St. John’s Wort, showing that he had been trying to seek relief for his depression on his own. The second was a pack of cigarettes which gave her chills because she had suspected he had been smoking and she had asked him several times and he had always said no. When she found the cigarettes, she became aware of how capable he was of lying. Wong said often times parents don’t want to upset their kids but they need to initiate conversations, listen to their children, create an open environment for communication and offer a voice of reason. “Be a parent, not a friend,” Wong said. “If I’m not my daughters’ mom, they won’t have one.” Wong said even though they painted a “heavy picture” about the challenges teens face today, she said it’s important to remember that most teens feel good about the future. “Most kids don’t engage in dangerous behaviors that can be harmful to their health,” Wong said. “There are a lot of kids who are doing the right thing and making the right choices.”

Solana Beach Girl Scouts celebrate 100th anniversary by beautifying Fletcher Cove

Two Solana Beach troops recently teamed up to beautify Fletcher Cove Beach. Brownie Troop 3210 planned and organized the event and invited Daisy Troop 3980 to join them.
o celebrate the centennial birthday of Girl Scouts San Diego, Girl Scouts from Solana Beach and throughout San Diego County have been out in full force, doing good. As part of a challenge called “100 Days of Girl Scouts,” troops and individual members took action in their communities to make the world a better place. Participants included two Solana Beach troops that teamed up to beautify Fletcher Cove Beach. Brownie Troop 3210 planned and organized the event and invited Daisy Troop 3980 to join them. The Brownies got the idea for the activity from Girl Scouts’ WOW! Wonders of Water curriculum, which is part of the “It’s Your Planet — Love It” Journey series. “Our Brownies wanted to share what they had learned on their Journey, and be advocates for clean beaches and oceans by inviting a younger troop to join them in the clean-up,” reported Cheryl Linderman, the
leader of Troop 3210. “Together, the girls picked up trash on the beach and in the park, learned a new song about saving and protecting water, and each made a personal commitment to save water.” Other Girl Scouts brightened the lives of senior citizens, created care packages for pediatric cancer patients, planted school gardens, served meals to the homeless, and made goodie bags for families adopting rescue pets. The 100 Days of Girl Scouts (March 12-June 19) challenge coincided with the national birthday of Girl Scouting. Juliette Gordon Lowe founded Girl Scouts on March 12, 1912 in Savannah, Ga. Girl Scouts of the USA is now the nation’s preeminent leadership development organization, dedicated to building girls of courage, confidence, and character.

Katherine Cosmetics opens Flower Hill flagship store BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe resident Katherine “Annie” Finch has opened her first flagship store for Katherine Cosmetics, her line of beauty products that aims to share a positive message of beauty and to help women and girls feel confident and pretty. The new store opened in Del Mar’s Flower Hill Promenade just three weeks ago, celebrating a grand opening party on June 22. “I didn’t realize what a big deal it was to have a store and how much I would love it and how much the customers would love it,” Finch said. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.” Guests can come in to shop for their favorite Katherine Cosmetics makeup or have an expert makeup application done — whether it’s for a high school dance or charity event, the talented Katherine Cosmetics team is available for the perfect look. The studio is also available to book for parties. Everything in the store reflects Finch’s lifestyle — visitors can sample her favorite coffee or chocolate as they shop the sparkling display of products, in pretty pinks and golds, stamped with positive inspirational notes like “you can and you will.” There’s even a perfectly-lit selfie station in the corner, with a pink neon Katherine Girl script as the backdrop. The four “Ks” in her logo represent the four “powerful” generations of Katherines in Finch’s life that supported the notion that “All girls can do and be anything they want in life.”
Finch’s knowledge of the industry comes from a 23-year career at Estee Lauder in sales, marketing and product development. During her time in New York, she helped launch Aerin Lauder and Tom Ford’s lines before moving to Rancho Santa Fe to retire and ride horses. But she didn’t stay retired for long. Katherine Cosmetics got its start in 2014 when Finch set out to create a line of sport makeup. K-Sport is smudge, smear and sweat-proof even through one of her spin classes at Rancho Valencia or the steamiest of hot yoga classes. With K-Sport, Finch created essential basic items that were all-natural, gluten-free, paraben-free and never tested on animals. “That was really important, to take out all the bad ingredients and put only good ingredients in,” Finch said. Items in the line are dual-action such as lip gloss with sunscreen and her Wow stick, which is a multi-use primer that offers coverage, protection and works as a line-filler. K-Sport also has a very popular waterproof eyeliner — the “can’t live without, must have” product that lasts through riding or running with a useful built-in blending brush. Her next product was her lipsticks, the A+ Friends Beauty line of 11 shades developed and named for some of her closest friends. As a reflection of Finch’s passion for giving back, $1 of each sale goes to its namesakes’ charity of choice. Drawing on her Estee Lauder roots, Finch also launched a fragrance, Katherine Girl — pretty and light with notes of
Kentucky Derby novel launch at Del Mar Library Del Mar Library will host the book launch for a novel by Solana Beach singer-songwriter and storyteller Ross R. Moore on Wednesday, July 12 at 6 p.m. The novel, Third Monday in May, is set in 1875 during the first Kentucky Derby. Moore was the educator at the Kentucky Derby Museum for 12 years. Part historical narrative/part suspense novel, Third Monday in May spins an imaginative tale. What if Abraham Lincoln had survived to attend the first Kentucky Derby? What if there was a conspiracy to assassinate him during the running of the race? The Del Mar Branch Library is located at 1309 Camino Del Mar.

citrus, floral jasmine and magnolia, and drywoods and leather. Finch is especially excited about her new addition of Date Night Beauty eyeshadows, highlighter, brow solution and eyelash kit. “The idea is the brand can take you through everything you need in life, from morning workouts and horseback riding, to coffee with friends and date nights out,” Finch said. While Katherine Cosmetics started online and with social selling, she eventually landed in 300 Dillard’s stores across the country. Online, social media ambassadors called Katherine Girls help spread Katherine’s positive, strong and inspirational message across the world — doing the right thing, being a good friend, sister and daughter, doing what you love, learning and trying new things, and believing in yourself. “Katherine Girls love what we stand for as a brand, being natural and active, helping others and being confident and pretty all at the same time,” Finch said. Finch put all of that and more into her new store. She had never really thought of having her own studio but once she got the encouragement from friends and fellow Flower Hill businesses, she was able to put it together on a quick timeline over the last month. Like the brand preaches: “All girls can do and be anything they want in life.” Learn more at KatherineCosmetics.com or visit the store at 2690 Via de la Valle, Del Mar.

Local teen sings out with others for a cure for ALS “Extraordinary Properties” The premise behind the “Striking A Chord” benefit concert, to be held July 29, was conceived by Carmel Valley resident Megan Spector after her Aunt Marjie Block was diagnosed with ALS. Currently there is no cure for this disease, and the life expectancy of patients is tragically short, typically two to five years from diagnosis. Megan’s aunt has defied this statistic and continues to wage her daily fight with ALS, which is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, named after the famous New York Yankees baseball star. In 2012, Megan organized the original concert, which raised over $35,000 for the ALS Association Greater San Diego Chapter. At age 17, she’s doing it again. With the message of hope leading the way, singers from across the United States will join together to participate in a second concert where 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the ALS Association. Concert proceeds will support finding a cure for this terrible disease. Megan has reached out to the San Diego music community and beyond for support, and has received a welcomed response from exceptional singers who plan on participating. The business community has also rallied behind this concert and sponsors include Cooley LLP, Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Barney & Barney, a Marsh & McLennan Insurance Agency LLC company, and Mike Steelman, The Hegardt Group — Merrill Lynch. The concert will be held Saturday, July 29 at the Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall, 5775

Mitchell Thorp Foundation teams up with SD Aviators for Pillars of Hope Tennis Smash
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KAREN BILLING The Mitchell Thorp Foundation will host the Pillars of Hope Tennis Smash at the Omni La Costa Resort on Sunday, July 16. The “smashing” event will feature a dinner and auction event, as well as tennis action from Mylan World Team Tennis’ San Diego Aviators. Proceeds from the event will go toward the Mitchell Thorp Foundation, founded in 2009 by Brad and Beth Thorp, whose son Mitchell died in 2008 after a five-year battle with an undiagnosed illness. The foundation’s mission is to help families in the region who have children suffering from life-threatening illness, diseases and disorders by providing financial and emotional resources. The event begins with food stations and wine pairings, a cash bar, live music, and a silent and live auction that includes “unbelievable” items such as trips to the U.S. Open and a three-night stay in New York, an Alaskan Cruise and trips to Costa Rica, London, Belize and more. At 6 p.m., guests will leave the ballroom to watch the San Diego Aviators take on the Orange County Breakers, featuring a match-up between the Breakers’ Maria Sharapova and Aviators’ Shelby Rogers. “We like to mix it up and make it fun and interactive for guests, something different than the usual sit-down dinner galas,” Beth Thorp said.

Carmel Valley resident Mara Fortin owns seven Nothing Bundt Cake bakeries in San Diego.
Nothing Bundt success for local bakery owner BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley resident Mara Fortin recently celebrated the 10-year anniversary of her first Nothing Bundt Cakes bakery. Fortin opened her first bakery in Poway in 2007 as the company’s first-ever franchisee. Ten years later she owns seven bakeries, including locations in Del Mar’s Flower Hill Promenade and The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch in Carmel Valley. Fortin likes to say she is not in the business of selling cakes but in the business of relationships, of family and celebrations and of people coming together. “After 10 years, we’re a household name and the go-to place for desserts,” Fortin said. “We’re embedded in people’s lives, we’re a part of people’s celebrations and remembrances. I love it so much.” Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz founded Nothing Bundt Cakes in 1998 in Las Vegas, where Fortin was living at the time and had a very busy life as a medical malpractice attorney. She walked away from the “ridiculous hours” and began crafting a recipe for a new life in her native San Diego, drawing on her undergraduate degree in business. She convinced the owners to let her be a franchisee. Fortin vividly remembers being in the parking lot by her new Poway location in 2007 and listening as a couple of men walked by and seemed baffled by her bakery, wondering “Only bundt cakes? That’s it? What’s a bundt cake?” Many people told her she would be out of business in a year. “Everyone was very skeptical. But I knew
how great the product was,” Fortin said. “The product is just amazing. It’s so beautiful to walk into the bakeries, it’s so warm and inviting and I just knew in my heart I was going to be a game-changer for the dessert market in San Diego and now with seven bakeries, that’s what we’ve done. “Dessert has taken on a whole new life and it’s exciting to me to have played an integral part of completing that vision.” Fortin went on to open bakeries in Chula Vista, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Santee and Mission Valley, the location that continues to be the top two bakery in California. She opened the Flower Hill Promenade location in 2009 and the Pacific Highlands Ranch location last year, which she said has been a “perfect fit.” Since opening the bakery she has become a Pacific Highlands Ranch resident and her daughters attend school locally with Kendall at Pacific Trails Middle School and Karyn at Ashley Falls Elementary School. Many a school event has been gifted with bundt cakes and Karyn’s fifth grade class came to visit the bakery and got a lesson on the business — and cream cheese frosting. Fortin also makes efforts to give back to the community through partnerships with Rady Children’s Hospital and Susan B. Komen of San Diego, donating thousands of cakes a year. “To my customers, thank you for believing in us,” Fortin said. “Without my customers in San Diego, I’m not at seven bakeries. It’s really because of them that I’ve been able to grow.” Visit nothingbundtcakes.com

Solana Beach Singalong belting out tunes three decades later BY SEBASTIAN MONTES For 30 years, a heartfelt chorus has rung out every Thursday night from Fletcher Cove Community Center and down over the bluffs, to be washed out by the gently crashing Pacific. That weekly singalong has two mainstays: the song “Solana Beach, Our City Proud” and Ed Siegel, the psychiatrist and self-taught musician determined not to waver from his three-decade mission of filling Solana Beach with joyous song. Seated at an upright piano on June 29, he looked across the room to see faces familiar as well as new among the two dozen revelers who joined him in verse for the annual patriotic singalong. The chorus has swelled and ebbed over the years, but has always held true. “The people that come, it’s become like a little family of its own in a way,” Siegel would say later. Over the evening’s 90 minutes, he led them through short renditions of ditties etched generations ago into the nation’s consciousness: My Country Tis of Thee, Battle Hymn of the Republic, the Marines’ Hymn and Wild Blue Yonder. Spotted among the singing faithful: Dave Roberts, the former city councilman and county supervisor, who was making one of the many stops on his farewell tour before moving to Connecticut to take care of family. After belting out a few tunes, he chimed in with a few departing words. “This is what makes community. It’s just such a treasure,” he said, before offering the group encouragement and assurance. “We’re going to come back here, so don’t worry. Our roots are here in Solana Beach. Truly, continue this tradition. Every time that I’m back visiting, I’m going to pop back in on you all.”

The annual patriotic singalong took place June 29.
SEBASTIAN MONTES
Solana Beach's weekly singalong took on its annual patriotic theme on June 29. Ed Siegel, who plays piano by ear, has led the group since its inception 30 years ago.
It’s been nearly 20 years since Lynn Salsberg strolled past the singalong for the first time. She added her voice to the chorus that night in 1989, and another night, and so many others, before long becoming one of the group’s regulars. A dozen years later, Siegel told her he’d been asked to whip up a tune to capture Solana Beach’s character. Her home town in Canada had a song, so why shouldn’t Solana Beach? So she put to paper some words to invoke images essential to Solana Beach: the train station, the revitalization

of Cedros Avenue, the 101. She sang them to Siegel, who conjured up the music to go with it, and the duo tweaked their tune for several years until the time came to play it in the community. The fateful performance came when they played it for Skyline Elementary School’s music teacher, who loved it so much that they recorded a version sung by the students. The city council adopted it as Solana Beach’s official song in 2006, and the first verse can be heard on the city’s website.

Siegel drummed up some national attention a dozen years ago for his quest to have the National Anthem changed from the hard-to-sing key of B flat to a more masses-friendly key of G. That campaign landed flat. And when “Our City Proud” became the city song, his attention turned to expanding the song to broader audiences — even if it rubs people occasionally the wrong way. Given his dithers, the song would be sung at Concerts at the Cove, during little league games —anywhere and anytime civic pride is at the fore. “It could even play on the city’s website before city council meetings, instead of that boring background music,” he said. “It would be so much fun.” Or even just more than the first verse on the city’s website, Salsberg said. “We’d love for every kid to be able to grow up with the feeling of the city and what’s here,” she said.

BRITTANY WOOLSEY
Rick Walker, of Carlsbad, quit his job in environmental health and safety to open Bach to Rock in Encinitas.
Bach to Rock opens first Southern California location in Encinitas BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY North County children can now take steps to become the next rock star or classical composer at Bach to Rock in Encinitas. Children can learn how to play a variety of instruments in nine artist-themed learning rooms — like Beethoven, Nirvana, The Beatles and Katy Perry — at the franchise's 23rd location and first in Southern California, which opened June 6. After each level, students also have the opportunity to record songs they learned and perform in a space with other children.
Director and owner Rick Walker, a musician from Carlsbad, wanted to bring Bach to Rock to Encinitas to be around music. "I found this great franchise and it seemed like a way to take what I do for fun and move it into what I do for a living, too," said the former environmental health and safety worker. "I think that's everybody's dream." He said a place like Bach to Rock was needed in Encinitas, which he considers an arts-oriented city. Walker also plans to give back to the SEE BACH TO ROCK, B21
A presentation and book-signing will be held at the Chino Farm in Rancho Santa Fe with Jean-Christian Jury, author of “Vegan: The Cookbook” on Sunday, July 16, from 10:30 a.m. - 12 a.m. A presentation and Q&A will begin at 11 a.m. With nearly 500 vegetable-driven recipes, “Vegan: The Cookbook” is inspired by cuisines around the world and showcases the culinary diversity of vegan cuisine; highlighting regional fruits and vegetables, traditional cooking techniques, and universally delectable flavors. This is a comprehensive cookbook for all diets, accompanied by beautiful photography and straight forward instructions. While working in London, Jury suffered heart failure, which he attributed to his relentless restaurant schedule and poor diet. Heeding this wake-up call, he began delving into the study of raw and vegan food and embraced a healthy diet. In 2007, he opened his first vegan restaurant, La Mano Verde, in Berlin, to much critical acclaim. He is now teaching and traveling internationally.

The event is free, but to ensure that there will be enough books, please RSVP to adele@goodearthgreatchefs.com. The author will only be signing books purchased at the event. The Chino Farm is located at 6123 Calzada del Bosque, Rancho Santa Fe. Visit www.goodearthgreatchefs.com

Marjorie May ‘Marje’ Halterman March 1, 1923 - April 1, 2017
SOLANA BEACH — “It’s not what kind of life one has, it’s how it’s lived.” Marjorie was born in Quincy, IL, on March 1, 1923, daughter to James Franklin “Frank” and Nellie Gray Anderson. The third of seven children growing up in the depression, Marjorie learned early the rhythm of life, constantly gaining experience that was interwoven throughout with joys, sorrows, adaptations, giving, and taking. Marjorie developed a love of art very early. As a second grader, a chalk snow scene of hers was displayed in the city library in Quincy. In high school, the Quincy art school awarded her an art scholarship. Marjorie left Illinois in 1946 for Long Beach,
CA. Here she found employment at the Long Beach Naval Station in bookkeeping and in film retouching. Her classes in early childhood education led to a job as a Head Start teacher. It was in Long Beach that she met and married Jacob Henry Halterman and started a family. Marje spent many summers in the Sierras
COURTESY
with her family, inspiring her love for nature and the outdoors. Marje valued her time as a member of the San Diego Sierra Club. She loved hiking in the mountains and working in the kitchen at the Nature Knowledge Workshop at Foster Point. Marjorie loved gardening and was quite active at Quail Botanical Gardens, now the San Diego Botanic Garden. She took great pride in her own gardens, was an excellent seamstress, and enjoyed corresponding with her family and friends. She lived independently into her 90s. Her many passions played an important role in her volunteer work with the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. It was here that she did most of the painting, producing scores of sceneries in
a relationship with the theatre that lasted nearly 35 years. Marjorie is survived by a brother, Carl Anderson; three children, Leslie Klusmire, James Halterman, Lisa Halterman Blackburn; three stepdaughters; and three grandchildren. For those who knew Marjorie, join us for a celebration of her life at the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach in the Cafe, Saturday June 10, 2017, at 10:30 am. Memorial donations in honor of her passion for the theatre may be made online at northcoastrep. org or Mail: North Coast Repertory Theatre c/o Marjorie Halterman Memorial Fund, 987 Lomas Santa Fe, Suite D, Solana Beach, CA 92075.

Simply Grilled Octopus Serving up the tentacles of life
A
s a lover of all manners of fish and seafood, I’m always on the lookout for something sustainable, heart-healthy and exotic. Feeling a little adventurous the other day, I was encouraged by a local fishmonger to try my hand at grilled octopus. While octopus has been considered a delicacy in Mediterranean and Eastern cuisines for thousands of years, the squeamish American palate (including my own) has shied away from experimentation of this squid and cuttlefish relative ... until now as top chefs have put this dish on their culinary radar. You too can embrace this oceanic treasure, as fascinating as it is flavorful. The Common Octopus is anything but common. This cephalopod with Ann Landers’ problem-solving skills, Einstein’s intelligence, Harry Houdini’s escape artistry, bionic powers to regenerate a lost limb and Navy Seals’ tactical skills (skin pigment camouflage and ink cloud ejection to disarm predators) is a creature of wonder, mystery and awe. Having a ubiquitous marine presence, the mighty mollusk propels itself through both tropical and temperate waters around the world, including the Mediterranean Sea, the
southern coast of Britain, the Western Atlantic, the Canary and Cape Verde Islands, and the African coastal waters. Alas, the octopus dies young and has a tragic sex life, as the male perishes shortly after mating, while the female survives long enough to ensure that her eggs hatch. The cartoonish cephalopod with a giant bulbous head, bulging goiter eyes, a parrot-like beak, a trio of hearts, blue-tinged blood and eight Herculean tentacles (so named from the Greek oktopous, translating to “eight-footed”) with an artillery of double-rowed suctions is a descendent of an ancient species that lurked in the seas almost 300 million years ago. Not surprisingly, the octopus has been an attention grabber of humans since cave dwelling days. While Aristotle mistakenly believed the sea creature had low intelligence, it was still enjoyed as a favorite dish by ancient Greek gastronomes who instinctively knew it was a nutritional powerhouse. A good source of low-fat dense protein, the sea carnivore also has a mother lode of vitamins (C for immune support, A for eye health, and B6 to keep brain cells on their toes, and hike melatonin and serotonin levels for some restful sleep along with mood elevation).
■ Ingredients: • 1 octopus (about 3 pounds) • 1 cup of white wine • 3 thyme branches • 4 garlic cloves, halved • 3 Meyer lemons, quartered • 6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil • Parsley, chopped (for garnish) ■ Method: In a covered saucepan, add cleaned octopus, thyme, 1 cut lemon, garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, wine and enough water to cover the octopus. Bring to a boil and simmer covered (about 10 minutes per pound) or until tender. Prepare the grill, brushing the grid with olive oil, and preheat medium to high. Cut the octopus into quarters. In a small mixing bowl combine olive oil, juice from one lemon, and salt and pepper. Brush liberally on the octopus. Grill quickly so that it sears but doesn’t burn. Remove from grill. Slice if desired. Drizzle more olive oil, garnish with parsley and lemon slices. Serve with green salad and crusty bread. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
Its rich store of essential minerals (copper, iron, potassium and calcium) boosts bone and blood health, and maintains fluid balance. The ample supply of omega-3 fatty acids also amps up heart and brain health, while the antioxidant organic acid Taurine strengthens the ticker muscle, and lowers heart attack risks. So octopus up with fresh or frozen, the whole mollusk (debeaked, where possible), or just the tentacles. Make sure it smells like the fresh, salty sea without any rancid or peculiar odors. Sauté or sear tentacle chunks
and blend in risotto, Spanish paella, frittata or seafood cioppino. Toss with pasta, quinoa, or a seafood cocktail. Construct a seafood Cobb, Greek or Caesar salad showcasing the sliced tentacles. Make octopus sushi or udon soup. Chop and blend with mayo and gherkins, and slather on a brioche for a riff on a lobster roll. Or simply drizzle the whole octopus with extra virgin olive oil, Pink Himalayan sea salt and cracked black pepper, and grill until tender but still a little chewy. Enjoy the adventure and the jaw workout.

Summer Legs and Beyond: Exercising with Varicose Veins It’s summer, there are record temperatures, and you want to be in shape for all those warm-weather clothes. But if you also suffer from varicose veins, not all exercises will be beneficial to fitness and your venous health. The problem with varicose veins When you see varicose veins, the big purplish ropes under the skin, that is blood buildup in veins due to weak venous valves. Varicose veins usually appear in the legs because the veins have to work harder to pump the blood from the feet back up to the heart. The heart, then, has to work harder to pump that blood through the weaker veins. Sometimes, high blood pressure can
develop or be exacerbated by varicose veins.
high-impact run or workout can actually increase the swelling of the veins and add stress to your joints. If you are a runner, consider moving your workout to a soft surface and wearing compression stockings to stimulate blood flow.
Why not all workouts are ideal for people with varicose veins The general rule of thumb is that exercise is a good way to improve venous health. So while varicose veins are mostly the result of genetics, keeping up proper blood flow will help the appearance of the varicose veins and improve your overall vascular health.The key is to use exercise to improve circulation, especially throughout the legs. There is even a chance that moderate exercise may reduce the chances of forming new varicose veins or worsening the already weakened veins.The veins in the calf muscle are especially useful in pumping blood back into the heart, so exercises that strengthen the calf muscles should be a part of your workout plan. Riding a bike, especially a stationary bike, is particularly effective.
That gut feeling Blood flowing back up the leg veins to the heart passes through the vena cava in the abdomen. Increasing the abdominal pressure by such activities as heavy lifting or straining impedes blood from traveling back to the heart. That’s when venous blood pools in the leg veins, causing the unsightly—and sometimes harmful—spider and varicose veins. So weightlifting and lots of sit-ups can do more harm than good for varicose vein sufferers. However, if weightlifting is an important part of your workout regimen, consider less weight with more reps, and avoid putting too much strain on your abdomen.
Walk, don’t run Walking stimulates circulation and burns plenty of calories, and the same applies for low-impact jogging. However, a
The same is true for strenuous yoga; some poses can put extra pressure on the vena cava, impeding rather than improving circulation. Low-impact

yoga that involves smooth transitions and lots of stretching is a better plan. Remember, you should stop immediately any exercise that causes leg pain or even discomfort. Exercises is about doing good, not harm, and there can be too much of a good thing, especially when your vascular health has been compromised by varicose veins. There is no prevention for varicose veins, and no failproof cure. But a healthy, lowimpact, cardiovascular-boosting routine is a great ally for healthy legs. And while varicose veins are common enough and may not always be life-threatening, a good solution to accompany exercise is removing those varicose veins with sclerotherapy, which can be done in just a short office visit. If working out has given you symptomatic vein disease, and if you’re tired of your varicose veins and are ready for treatment or just want some more information on sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit our website.

The Theatre School at NC Rep to present ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ There’s mischief in the woods! The Theatre School @ North Coast Repertory Theatre presents William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Magical fairies with love juice complicate two teen couples’ relationships in this “First Folio” Shakespearean comedy. Benjamin Cole directs his theatre school students in this entertaining summer performance, from Aug. 2 – 6. Benjamin Cole has an abundance of directing experience and has been involved in over two-dozen Shakespeare productions. For this production, he decided to jump back to First Folio, the first official publication of Shakespeare’s work, because “it is the closest to Shakespeare’s original intent in the structure, spelling, and punctuation that we have.” Many modern editors of Shakespeare’s plays chose to standardize “misspellings” and grammatical “mistakes.” Cole believes, ”These newer editions, destroy some fantastic opportunities for interesting interpretations of the text that existed before the regular rules were invented for spelling and grammar. We choose to use the ‘mistakes’ as clues that help make the scripts more active and further connected with the audience.” The cast includes: John
Gabe Krut, Wendy Maddox, Gillian Shapiro, Charoline Salel performing in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Blackstone-Gardner (Theseus), Cohl Capan (Flute), Kobe Cowell (Peaseblossom) and Belle Flanegan (Mustardseed) are all from Carlsbad, Moritz Hetze (Snug) from Carmel Valley, Karina Hull (Helena) from Carlsbad, Gabe Krut (Oberon) and Emmy
MacRae (Starveling) from Carmel Valley, Wendy Maddox (Puck) from Carlsbad, Anny Ouellet (Snout) from Vista, Chris Payne (Lysander) from Cardiff, Jennifer Richards (Hermia) from Carmel Valley, Caroline Salel (Cobweb) from Solana

FROM BACH TO ROCK, B11 community by providing free performances from students and teachers for events. Classes are available for people of all ages, from toddlers to seniors, in individual and group lessons. Most lessons last from a half-hour to an hour. Walker said Bach to Rock is a learning environment where parents can feel comfortable dropping off their children. He added that music helps children develop in a variety of ways.
"There are studies that playing music does increase the IQ," he said. "Kids learn to think a little differently. For me, what's most important, is that cooperative aspect of playing music with other kids and gaining confidence from performing in front of others." Stephanie Brown, who works as Bach to Rock's assistant site director and is a musician in local psych-rock bands, said she wishes she had a similar learning environment when she was a
child. "I was classically trained but I never had a rock band class," she said. "I found that becoming a performer, I had to do a lot of my own work in terms of feeling comfortable on a stage. It's really nice that we can provide that environment for the kids, where they can feel safe and perform. Bach to Rock is located at 282 N. El Camino Real, Suite C.

CIHS to host leading consciousness, healing arts practitioners at conference The worlds of science and healing arts will intersect in Encinitas on July 8-9 as California Institute for Human Science (CIHS) presents “Forefront Consciousness and Healing Science Research: Reports from the Field.” Every summer, some of the most inspiring thought leaders in transpersonal psychology and the subtle healing arts come to Encinitas to share their knowledge and vision at the annual summer symposium of CIHS This year’s program, which is open to the public as well as clinicians and healing arts practitioners, takes a deep dive into
FROM THORP, B4 but they were adamant to do what they could to help other families. And since founding the organization, they learned there is a real need: 78 percent of families whose child is diagnosed with a critical illness experience divorce or separation, and the stress these families experience will test them beyond their endurance, often bankrupting them financially, emotionally and physically. The Mitchell Thorp Foundation now offers several programs to bring other families help, hope and a sense of normalcy. They offer medical and home assistance, healing and rehabilitation, which includes counseling services for all members of the family and a conversion mobility van program.
the most cutting-edge research coming out of the field. The two-day conference will include formal presentations by such renowned researchers and speakers as Drs. Shamini Jain and Gurucharan Khalsa, as well as highly interactive, experiential sessions demonstrating applied healing research at work. The symposium will be held at the California Institute for Human Science, which is located at 701 Garden View Court, Encinitas, CA 92024. Registration is open to the public. Sign up for either one or two days at cihs.edu/index.php/cihs-summer-symposium-2017/
The foundation is getting ready to offer its third van conversion — it takes a little longer as the vans are expensive and the beneficiary families are asked to help with the fundraising efforts for the vans. The recipient of the third van is a single mother who has two children in wheelchairs. One of the most exciting growing programs of Mitchell Thorp is the Youth Leadership Council, started six years ago as a way to get teenagers involved in charity fundraising and events. A board of teens decides how they will spend the money they raise and in the past they have purchased an iPad for a child in the hospital and re-decorated another child’s bedroom. The council has now grown to 56 volunteer students from schools all over the region.
Thorp said she feels a strong personal connection to those her foundation helps as she and her family have walked in their shoes. They feel fortunate to be able to help other parents struggling to make ends meet and willing to do anything they can to save their child. “We would have done anything to save Mitchell, his illness was undiagnosed until his death. It’s still unexplained,” Thorp said. “From that pain, we took it and turned it into something positive and tried to bless other families. It’s been growing ever since and it’s just amazing to see God’s hand in this.” Tickets for the Pillars of Hope Tennis Smash can be purchased at mitchellthorp.org/events - Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.
