Residents offer suggestions for El Portal underpass BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Encinitas residents who live near Paul Ecke Central Elementary School provided their input regarding the future proposed El Portal underpass on June 20 at a meeting at city hall. The city council in January unanimously approved $881,967 allotted to San Francisco-based T.Y. Lin International architectural firm to design the under-crossing. Consultants from T.Y. Lin International, as well as city staff members, heard suggestions from about 30 residents ensuring more parking and safety at the under-crossing, which will be in Leucadia. Jeremy LaHaye, the project manager with T.Y. Lin International, said the goal is to provide a mixed-use, safe route for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross under the railroad tracks, similar to the Santa Fe underpass. "We're looking to solve a

problem that's been here in the community for a while," LaHaye said. "We're pretty happy with the [Santa Fe] project and we want to do it even better at El Portal." Construction is expected to begin in Winter 2018 and end after about 14 months, he said. Traffic should not be affected for the most part during that time because "a lot of it is going to be staged in the right-of-way," LaHaye said. "A lot of the work, once the bridge is put in, won't be a huge distraction," he said. Currently, the city is looking at installing a theme at the El Portal under-crossing that will reflect Encinitas' history and align with the nearby Pannikin Coffee and Tea building. Residents also proposed the city look into more parking near the under-crossing, particularly on the west side.

In fact, all of the downtown's alcohol-serving restaurants ought to provide percentage sales data on alcohol purchases on a yearly basis as part of their business license renewals, city planning commissioners said June 15 as they voted to approve the Union's patio permit request.

Casa de Amistad awards $60,000 in scholarships at ‘Future Leaders’ dinner

COURTESY

Casa de Amistad Executive Director Nicole Mione-Green (second row, in peach) with students at the Future Leaders Scholarship dinner.

Casa de Amistad dedicated a night June 1 to celebrate the achievements and successes of its own graduating seniors. Casa de Amistad, a nonprofit tutoring and mentoring program, is committed to serving underserved families in North Coastal San Diego. Casa de Amistad serves over 240 students in preschool through 12th grade on a weekly basis. On June 1, however, 12 of Casa de Amistad’s high school seniors were the night’s main focus. These 12 seniors were invited, along with their families and mentors, for a dinner aptly named Casa de Amistad’s Future Leaders Scholarship Dinner. In 2016, a generous gift from an anonymous donor led to the creation of Casa de Amistad’s first scholarship fund from which the dinner

received its name: the Future Leaders Scholarship Fund. The Future Leaders Scholarship Fund, is directed by a committee of Casa de Amistad volunteers. The purpose of the fund is to offer financial assistance to graduating seniors who will be headed to a community college or four year university. This year, Casa de Amistad awarded $60,000 in scholarships. At this year’s Future Leaders Scholarship Dinner, students planning to attend community college (Mira Costa College across the board) received $500 scholarships, while students attending four-year universities representing schools such as CSU San Marcos, CSU Dominguez Hills, and SEE CASA DE AMISTAD, A22

Continuing a commitment to education and investment in future leaders, the San Diego County Ronald McDonald House Charities/HACER Scholarship Program has presented high school seniors Sophia Kazmierowics of Canyon Crest Academy and Kate Sequeira of San Dieguito High Academy with $2,000 each to pursue higher education. The program recognizes high school seniors of Hispanic descent who demonstrate academic excellence, strong community involvement, personal success and a desire to give back to their communities. This year’s record number of applicants were reviewed by a panel of local judges comprised of community members, and McDonald’s, Ronald McDonald House and education representatives from San Diego County. “Each year, we continue to be amazed by the high levels of academic excellence, personal determination and leadership that our applicants have demonstrated from the early stages of their academic careers,” said Christian Sandoval, San Diego County RMHC/HACER scholarship chair and a San Diego McDonald’s owner/operator. Every year, RMHC of Southern California raises funds to provide scholarships to local high school students. Since 1985, more than 31,000 students across the U.S. have received more than $59 million in scholarships. Visit rmhcsd.org.

Local doctor’s new book promotes healthy lifestyle BY JOE TASH As a practicing cardiologist, Dr. Bret Scher is fully versed on the tools of modern medicine, from drugs to tests to procedures for addressing a variety of ailments. But his fondest dream is that patients won’t develop the conditions that require his intervention in the first place. Scher has put the knowledge he has gained over 23 years of practicing medicine, as well as his observations and research, into a new book: “Your Best Health Ever! The Cardiologist’s Surprisingly Simple Guide to What Really Works.” The self-published paperback volume came out about two months ago, and is available on Amazon.com and on Scher’s website, www.drbretscher.com. In the book, Scher outlines what he calls the five “pillars” of good health, which include developing the correct mindset to achieve better health, good nutrition, movement and exercise, stress management and good sleep habits, and building community. He also details how people can set realistic goals for improved health and achieve them. While he does not advocate abandoning life-saving drugs or surgery for those who need them, he is convinced that the pendulum has swung too far toward medical intervention, rather than emphasizing healthy lifestyles that can prevent disease. “I think medicine has gone far too much to the side of a pill for every problem,” he said. “It’s definitely taken the place of prevention. Good health is preventing a problem in the first place.” Along with his book, Scher writes a blog and is developing a membership website that will feature videos on a variety of health-related topics, from food and cooking to Buddhist meditation. Three days each week, he sees patients at Sharp Rees Steely clinics in the Grossmont area and Kearny Mesa. The other two days are devoted to his healthy lifestyle practice, Boundless Health, talking to clients from an office in Solana Beach. Many of his lifestyle consultations take place over Skype, Scher said. One of the most important elements of improving health, said Scher, is for patients to develop a mindset that will allow them to change their health-related habits, whether it is the food they eat, the exercise they perform or the sleep they get. “We need to believe that we can make the changes needed to be healthy, and we need to know that we can succeed,” wrote Scher in the book. “With that belief, we can transform our lives. Without it, all the knowledge in the world is not enough.” Along with pushing back against the tendency to over-prescribe certain drugs such as statins, Scher said some health-related myths need to be

— Dr. Bret Scher debunked. For example, he said there is a commonly held belief that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and everyone should eat it. In fact, he said there is evidence that skipping breakfast can actually help with such things as weight loss and control of blood sugar levels for diabetics. Even doctors don’t always practice the best health habits, he said. In a doctor’s lounge at a local hospital, he said, he recently observed a tray of bagels, donuts and muffins set out for the physicians. “That’s absurd,” he said. “We’ve been trained that food is about pleasure and not about health.” Scher, 44,and his wife, Amy, have two children, ages 7 and 4. He said he tries to set a good example for his kids, such as fixing them healthy grilled cheese sandwiches on multi-grain bread, that include a layer of veggies, avocado and a slice of cheese. A former triathlete, Scher said he still runs for physical and mental health, and also does interval and resistance training. Other favorite activities include golf and hiking. He insisted that improving health is something everyone can do if they start with the proper mental attitude. “You have to change how you think about your health. That’s where it all starts,” he said.

Local resident retraces Roosevelt’s footsteps in the Amazon BY SEBASTIAN MONTES There were times when Marc André Meyers — drenched in sweat, swarmed by mosquitoes and bees, malaria and cannibals an ever-present danger — knew the desperate straits in which Teddy Roosevelt had found himself a century earlier. The former U.S. president, still smarting from his humiliating defeat in the 1912 election two years prior, had ventured into an uncharted corner of the Amazon, down a tributary known ominously as the River of Doubt. Malaria-stricken and hobbled by an infected gash in one leg, Roosevelt, in his delirium, commanded his fellow expeditioners to forge ahead rather than to doom them to the fate to which he was certain he had fallen. When Meyers retraced that harrowing journey 100 years later, his crew did so as faithfully as possible — navigating the river in flimsy pack canoes, portaging around boulder-choked rapids, slogging days on end through the jungle with mules and machetes. “We didn’t want to use any modern equipment. We didn’t have a doctor. We didn’t have anything,” he recalled one recent morning in his office at UC San Diego, where he is a professor in material science. “We almost couldn’t get through. If we had been one more day without water, we would have died.”

Marc André Meyer — a professor at UC San Diego —ventured into the Amazon in 2014 and 2015 to recreate Teddy Roosevelt’s famous 1914 expedition. Meyers details his nearly fatal journey in his book River of Doubt, which he wrote for a presentation earlier this year to The Explorers Club in New York City For the past 30 years, Meyers’ work has focused on the effects of dynamic events like explosions in order to lay the foundation for new types of armor. Besides his many scientific papers, he has penned several novels, many of them set in South America. That passion dates back to his childhood in Brazil, where his engineer father from Luxembourg had taken the family in order to build a steel plant in the jungle. It was there that he developed a fascination for the Amazon and the tribes living in it. But

beyond topography and environment. “There is a lot of anti-American sentiment because they have this idea that Americans want to take over the Amazon,” Meyers said. “We almost got into it with the same tribe that gave Rondon and Roosevelt problems. Their chief is not a very nice guy. He didn’t let us go through their land. He threatened to arrest us. He sent his thugs after us. They were cannibals, and the chief even hinted at this to us.” When word of his journey got out, it earned him an invitation to speak to the San Diego chapter of The Explorers Club. His tale went over so well that he was called up to the club’s hallowed chambers in New York City. His manuscript — part diary, part travelogue, part scientific compendium — was written for that presentation. Meyers has also published several papers on the feathers, fish scales and seeds collected during his journey. He even built a special gauge to measure the force of the piranha’s bite. But after all that, one portion of the Rondon-Roosevelt expedition remains to be retraced. Meyers plans to finish that off this summer, and hopefully rally support for a monument to the Rondon-Roosevelt expedition. River of Doubt: Reliving the Epic Amazon Journey of Roosevelt and Rondon on its Centennial is available in paperback via Amazon.com.

it wasn’t until decades later, when he read Candace Millard’s 2006 book on Roosevelt’s expedition that he plotted his return. “I turned the last page and said, ‘I have to do this,’” Meyers said. The 1914 expedition was co-led by Candido Rondon, an army colonel and legendary Brazilian explorer. He had built his renown in part by being among the first to lay telegraph lines across huge swaths of once-impenetrable jungle. Rondon had been at it for 10 years when Theodore

Roosevelt arrived in South America to give a series of lectures. “Roosevelt was not in a very good financial position. He was more of a dreamer and doer and politician than he was a businessman,” Meyers said. “When he arrived in Rio de Janeiro, one of the ministers told him about a river that no one had ever gone down. Roosevelt being like he was — hotheaded —immediately said yes. He didn’t give it much thought.” What ensued is now known as the Rondon-Roosevelt Scientific Expedition, a plan to collect specimens and chart the river for about five months that turned into Roosevelt’s brush with death. Whereas Millard detailed the expedition with a historian’s precision, Meyers’ account takes a scientist’s and explorer’s tack of recreating every step — something that had never before been tried. His journey had two goals beyond retracing the original: to collect plant and animal specimens for research into their material structure and to measure the many environmental changes mankind has wrought over the intervening century. Meyers split his effort into two parts: the river portion in 2014 and the land portions in 2015. In some parts, his crew included Jeffrey Lehmann, cinematographer and a fourth-generation Del Mar resident. The challenges they faced went far

Advance Directive

Local lawyer encourages ‘family conversations’ about end-of-life options BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Hemlock Society of San Diego board member Bill Simmons first got involved with end-of-life issues in 2009. “I felt everybody needed to have a written advance directive stating their wishes for end of life,” he said. He started volunteering in hospice, “And in the process of working with them and going out and seeing patients I came to the conclusion that (family) conversations are more important than the advance directives.” An advance health care directive is the legal document where a person describes the kind of decisions they wish to make when they no longer can speak for themselves because of illness or incapacity. In California, the document is typically composed by a lawyer, then signed by two qualified witnesses or acknowledged before a public notary. Simmons believes family conversations are more important than the advance directives because “first, the fact is that in an emergency situation, doctors don’t have time to go find your advance directive, it may be in your record somewhere. Secondly, they tend to naturally talk to the people, the family that’s standing by. “As a lawyer, this is really hard to take,” he continued. “I’m trained to put everything in writing. Is a mantra in law school, ‘Get it in writing!’ ” To illustrate his point, he gave an example. “A person may have survived the 12 first hours (after a health event), some family members are there and they’re discussing the next steps. One family member says, ‘I know my mother under this circumstances wanted no further treatment.’ And a sibling says, ‘Oh we can’t do that. We need to do everything we can to save her.’ And the doctors are often caught in a family conflict, where they don’t know who to listen to. The advance directive can help with that, but family conversation is the way to deal with that.” He elaborated, “I want my whole family to know what my wishes are.” Asked about ways to get the conversation started, Simmons said, “Let’s say, I’m sitting down with my elderly parent and the

younger person says, ‘I see in the newspaper that Bob Help died yesterday of this and that.’ (You may use) someone that they know. ‘If you were in his circumstances, how would you want to end your life?’ So you can use events out of the news to kick it off. And that’s the easiest way. Another one is, they come back from a medical appointment, ‘Did the doctor discuss what would happen if something happens to you and so on?’ You can find wedges to start the conversation. It’s the wedge you’re looking for, because the conversation will flow typically pretty well once you get it started.” In June 1, The New England Journal of Medicine published the article “Delegalizing Advance Directives – Facilitating Advance Care Planning” by Joshua Rolnick, M.D., David Asch, M.D. and Scott Halpern, M.D., that agrees with Simmon’s notion. “Clinicians will rarely provide end-of-life care that conflicts with the stated preferences of family members, even when a formally executed advance directive is available,” the article reads. “The POLST (Physicians Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment),” Simmons continued, “often says, ‘Do not resuscitate me if you find me on the floor past out, because I’m having my third heart attack and I don’t want to deal with that anymore, let me die.’ That’s extreme, and that doesn’t have to be notarized, doesn’t have to be witnessed. Why does the advance directive need to be witnessed?” Simmons said he is a member of the Hemlock society because, “Medicine has advanced so far in the past 50 years that we no longer die of pneumonia in four or five days, we start to decline in a number of years, and then the incline gets steeper and steeper, so death is prolonged, when it didn’t use to be. My parents didn’t have to face this kind of dilemma, prolonged dying. “My goal is to let people know is that there’s a choice, and what that choice is completely up to you. But I don’t want anyway telling me how I need to die.” — Bill Simmons will give the presentation “The End of Life Option Act: Physician aid in dying for the terminally ill,” alongside Hemlock society president Faye Girsh, 10-11 a.m. July 10 at La Jolla Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave.

Climate lobbyists join 1,000 in D.C. to lobby Congress Seven local Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) volunteers traveled to Washington DC June 11-13, when 1,300 volunteers came together for the 2017 Citizens’ Climate Lobby International Conference and Lobby Day. On Tuesday, June 13, the San Diego CCL members joined 1,000 other citizen lobbyists for over 500 meetings on Capitol Hill with Congressional representatives of districts across the country. The overall purpose of the group is “to create the political will for climate solutions by enabling individual breakthroughs in the exercise of personal and political power.” Carl Yaeckel, head of the San Diego South CCL chapter, says “I went to Washington because I believe action by Congress is indispensable for the global fight against climate change. CCL’s bipartisan approach is having success and is the best way to move Congress to act.” The San Diego delegation had meetings with San Diego Representatives Susan Davis, Duncan Hunter, Darrell Issa, Scott Peters and Juan Vargas. Supporters at home reinforced the message of the traveling citizen lobbyists by calling their representatives on Friday, June 9, for a “Congressional Call-In Day” for the climate. CCL is building a movement that builds bridges across social and political divides,

and is lobbying Congress to address climate risks by coming together to discuss bipartisan solutions. Volunteers at the conference asked Republicans to sign the Republican Climate Resolution that states in part, “If left unaddressed, the consequences of a changing climate have the potential to adversely impact all Americans.” They asked both Democrats and Republicans to join the bipartisan House Climate Solutions Caucus, which currently has 20 members from each party. The caucus recently introduced legislation to establish a Climate Solutions Commission and held a public briefing on the impacts of climate change on oceans and coastal communities. CCL also advocates for a revenue-neutral carbon tax, called carbon fee and dividend. A carbon fee and dividend charges fossil fuel producers for greenhouse gas pollution and returns the money to households. A fee on emissions would signal to investors, entrepreneurs, and businesses that the American people are serious about creating a new energy economy, and the dividend would protect Americans from rising costs from the fee. Information about the conference and CCL is available at www.citizensclimatelobby.org, about the San Diego Citizens Climate Lobby Chapters at: www.facebook.com/CCLSanDiego/ --Submitted press release

‘Passion Colors Everything’ art show headed to Encinitas Library Virginia Ann Holt and Grace Swanson team up to display hand painted silks and gourd art in the six lighted cubes in the foyer of the Encinitas Library. The title of their show, “Passion Colors Everything”, describes the big, bold botanicals painted on sensuous silks by Virginia and the brightly colored, carved, and burned gourd art by Grace Swanson. The show runs from June 27 through Aug. 7. The public is invited to a reception by the artists on Saturday, July 8 from 5-7 p.m. at the library. Virginia Ann Holt is a world-class muralist and fine artist. Creating art for the past 20 years using acrylic paints on watercolor paper, Holt used her paintings to decorate greeting cards and coffee mugs, and recently began painting one-of-a-kind silk scarves. Her new collection of hand painted silk scarves reflects Holt’s vivid color palette and unique signature floral, fruit, and abstract designs. Holt’s award-winning rose garden and fruit trees, together with her world travels to many tropical destinations, have been inspirations for her silk designs. Grace Swanson was a watercolor and acrylic artist but discovered the world of gourds about seven years ago. She loves every facet of this art form — from the cleaning, to burning, to sanding, to dying. Swanson says, “ My interest in gourds was sparked by a

I knew about gourds from my childhood in Nigeria, where the people use gourds for everything, from spoons to bowls and for storage. That one class changed the course of my art career. I was hooked on gourds.” Swanson is a member of the San Diego County Gourd Artists, the California Gourd Society, and the American Gourd Society. The Encinitas Library is located at 540 Cornish Drive, Encinitas. (760) 753-7376.

Typical Friday cycling group consisting of Dan Chambers, Stan Bergum, Greg Zimmer, Eric Bernd, Mitch Goldman, Laura Goldman, Greg Holcomb and Doris Bergum.

Local cycling group welcomes new members A group of dads in Solana Beach started riding together on Friday mornings back in 2001. Many Solana Beach cyclists have joined the fun over the past 15-plus years, including moms, and the Friday morning ride is still going strong. This group of now over 40 members regularly meets at Lomas Santa Fe and Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) at 6:30 a.m. every Friday for a group ride down the coast into La Jolla and back. The 25-mile ride with 1,600 feet of elevation is mostly social with a few nice sprints and KOM segments. Post-ride coffee is encouraged.

The club also rides as a group with the Swami’s Club on Saturday meeting at Nytro in Encinitas at 8:05 a.m. and on Tuesday and Thursday at the corner of the 5 and La Costa at 6:30 a.m. The club put together its first Solana Beach Cycling kit about six years ago and just about every day you will see the Solana Beach colors riding PCH and all over North County. The club is open to everyone. New kits, designed by Doris Bergum, will be ordered in the next month. For more details, go to facebook.com/solanabeachcycling

Encinitas native Austin Kay wins baseball championship with Cal Lutheran

BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy alumnus Austin Kay recently capped his baseball career with a satisfying walk-off championship title. The Encinitas-native helped the Cal Lutheran University Kingsmen baseball team win its first ever NCAA Division III National Championship on May 30. The title is only the second DIII national title in school history. “If you would have asked me in February, that these guys and this team would be sitting here, I would have looked at you and said you’re nuts,” said head coach Marty Slimak in a release. “We had so many question marks we didn’t know we could get close to something like this, but as the season progressed these guys started coming together and it was just a great clubhouse.” “The thing that really set us apart was our camaraderie,” Kay said of the brotherly team atmosphere. “We were really in it for each other and that helped us stay loose.” In the College World Series, Cal Lutheran beat Washington and Jefferson in a best-of-three series at Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton, Wisc. Cal Lutheran came out on top after dropping the first game of the series, going on to win 12-4 in game two and 7-2 in game three. Kay, the Kingsmen’s starting shortstop, had several key at-bats in the tournament, including cracking a two-RBI double in game two which broke the game wide open. Kay would be named to the All-Tournament Team, with five hits in the championship game and finishing the tournament with a .345 average and seven RBIs. Kay started playing baseball in the La Costa Youth Organization and it has always been his main sport. “I just loved the game. I started playing it when I was 2 in my backyard,” Kay said. “I put a lot of hard work into it.” Throughout his youth, Kay played mostly infield and also pitched through four years on the CCA Ravens. He was scouted a little bit by colleges but Cal Lutheran offered him an academic scholarship to attend and play baseball. He studied environmental science and graduated this May, redshirting a year due to a shoulder injury that required surgery. This season got off to a shaky start for the Kingsmen as they went 4-6. The team was able to regroup and rip off a 15-game win streak. “We finished the year strong,” Kay said of the team, which would only drop a few more games the whole year, ending the season 40-11. Heading into the College World Series championships, the Kingsmen had won 12 games in a two and 16 of their last 16

After dropping that one game in a brutal 12-2 loss, the team fought back to win the next two. In game three, they put up runs early and poured on more in the seventh and eighth innings, putting the title well within reach. “It was the top of the world kind of feeling, it was unbelievable,” Kay said. “It was something really great to be a part of because of the way we started the season, we weren’t supposed to win it. We hit the ball really well and our pitchers really stepped up.” Kay will remain in Thousand Oaks through mid-July and will then move to Oceanside to start his new job in Oceanside. The college grad will be working as an environmental consultant. “I think in a couple of months I’ll miss it,” Kay said of the end of his baseball life. “But it was a really good way to go out and I’m definitely happy with how my career went.”

Experience luxury apartment living in Altura Carmel Valley BY KAREN BILLING Altura Carmel Valley, built into the hillside of Carmel Valley off Carmel Creek Road, is setting the new standard for luxury rental living. “Luxury apartments are a lifestyle and one you choose if you’re looking for something that has a home feel with upgrades and a huge kitchen, but still has all of the services and amenities we provide,” said Karina Roman, Altura’s sales and operations manager. “Moving is such a life event. People who are moving are always looking for a new start and they’re looking for quality.” Altura began leasing in May and residents have already happily moved into the completed side of the community. When fully completed by December, there will be 181 total units spread out among three-level Italian villa-style buildings nestled on the green hill. Altura features brand new one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments starting at $2,800 a month, as well as three-bedroom, three-bathroom townhomes, which have their own garages. One thing that sets the property apart is its

“stunning” views. Some of the units will look out onto a “gorgeous and tranquil” courtyard while others can see out to the ocean. One unit on the third floor leased the same day Altura opened as the leasers were awestruck by the view — residents will get amazing views of the canyon and Carmel Valley’s open space. “You feel like an eagle,” Roman said of the soaring unobstructed view. Inside the apartments, all of the finishes are standard, including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, wood-style plank flooring and carpet in the bedrooms. The kitchens all feature a five-burner gas stove and each unit has a full-size, front-loading washer and dryer. The bedrooms all have large walk-in closets and residents have the option to pick from a palette of accent wall colors for the bedrooms. Layouts throughout the project cater to people’s different needs — some feature more of a “great room” style, while others have a more traditional dining room space. “It’s very unique with how we’ve used the square footage. There’s a lot of usable space, you’re not losing square footage to a hallway,” Roman said. The spacious Altura is loaded with

Altura Carmel Valley amenities for residents, including two resort-style pools with cabanas, 10 outdoor barbecues and grills in the courtyard. There will be a fully-equipped fitness center with a spin and yoga room, as well as a sports simulator and a bike repair shop. The pet-friendly community features a dog park with a pet spa and local trails are easily accessible nearly out the front door.

“Extraordinary Properties” for “Extraordinary Lives”

Encinitas Estates!

Pizza is served “al taglio,” Italian for “by the slice,” at Napizza in Encinitas.

MARIA WILES

Italian couple brings a taste of home to Encinitas BY PAM KRAGEN It’s no overstatement to call the newly opened Napizza eatery in Encinitas a labor of love. In fact, you could say the same for the company’s last two locations as well. Giulia Colmignoli — who co-founded the Roman-style pizzeria chain five years ago with her husband, Christopher Antinucci — gave birth to baby boys within days or weeks of opening their last two outlets in 2014 and 2015. Now she’s pregnant with their third child, a daughter, who will arrive in early August. “I would just say that she works very well under stress when she’s pregnant,” said Antinucci, 33. The Solana Beach couple were born and raised in Rome where they met in grade school, then lost touch in their mid-teens. Colmignoli went to college in England and Antinucci moved to the U.S. at age 19 to study finance at the University of San Diego. When Atinucci was visiting Italy in 2004, they ran into each other and fell in love. She moved to San Diego and they later married. In 2012 — with the help of a “pizzaiolo,” or master pizza-maker, from Italy — they opened their first Napizza outlet on India Street in Little Italy. A second location opened in 4S Ranch in July 2014, just days after they welcomed their first son, Giulio. And a third location followed in Hillcrest in June 2015, a few months before son Claudio was born. Napizza — a Roman slang word for “slice of pizza” — has flourished because it’s believed to be the only pizza company in San Diego serving authentic Roman-style “city pizza.” Roman pizza is served by the slice (“al taglio”) from large rectangular pans and it has more fresh vegetables and less cheese than American varieties. But the main difference is the low-yeast dough, which rises for 72 hours, making for a dough that’s wet, and a crust that’s light, crispy and filled with air bubbles. Because of the crust’s high moisture content, it takes 15 minutes to cook in a 650-degree oven (rather than the standard 3-4 minutes for bready American pizza). Italian expatriates make up a sizable portion of Napizza customers, but for those who don’t understand the pizza’s unique properties, an entire wall of the Encinitas

Some are all-American, like the Pepperoni and BBQ Chicken pizzas.

OPINION

www.encinitasadvocate.com

To your health: Good news for bad joints

or some people, aching hips or crackling knees means an end to favorite sports such as golf or cycling. For others, everyday activities like climbing stairs or walking the dog are painful. However it affects you, joint pain can keep you from doing the things you want to do. Hip or knee pain can have a number of causes, including arthritis, injury, illness or simply getting older. Many people find relief through dietary changes, physical therapy or medication, but often that relief is short-lived. If debilitating pain returns after these treatments, it may be time consider replacing the worn-out joint. Joint replacement surgery can eliminate pain, improve mobility and let you get back to your usual activities. During the procedure, an orthopedic surgeon replaces all or part of the damaged joint with an artificial implant. In recent years, new surgical techniques and technologically advanced materials have made hip and knee replacement easier, safer and more

effective than ever. “The implants we use today are made of improved materials that are more durable and provide better range of motion, which means you can move comfortably without pain for 20 years or more,” said David Fabi, M.D., a Scripps orthopedic surgeon and joint replacement specialist. “Advanced techniques enable us to perform the procedure with outstanding precision, so the replacement joint mirrors your natural anatomy and movement.” In many cases, orthopedic surgeons use minimally invasive surgical techniques, so patients have fewer and smaller incisions, less discomfort, a shorter hospital stay and a faster recovery. Joint replacement surgery usually takes one to two hours. Following the procedure, most patients go home the same day or the next morning. You’ll be moving and walking around as soon as the first day after surgery. A physical

therapist will start working with you to help you regain strength and mobility. Depending on your individual needs, you may have physical therapy in an outpatient center or follow an exercise plan at home. Generally, patients can resume low-impact activities within six months. Full recovery can take several months to a year. According to Fabi, most patients have excellent results. “Most, if not all, of their pain and stiffness disappears and their mobility greatly improves,” he said. “It’s great to see them return to their usual activities without pain.” If you’re living with knee or hip pain and nothing brings lasting relief, make an appointment with an orthopedic specialist to find out if joint replacement is an option.

OUR READERS WRITE What are they thinking? On June 2 in an epic flip-flop the SANDAG Transportation Committee with Mayor Blakespear voted to move the Cardiff Rail Trail from Coast Highway to the east side of the railroad right of way. Even though just three weeks before, SANDAG told the Coastal Commission that the east side was a bad choice, because of its impact on the environment, loss of open space, loss of beach access, etc. Yes, that’s incredibly hypocritical and dishonest. Even though the east alignment will destroy 2 acres of natural coastal habitat, including native plants and sandstone bluffs; Even though the east alignment will mean loss of beach access and parking; Even though the east side will actually cost taxpayers nearly four times more than Coast Highway. It bears repeating, four times more to build on the east side! SANDAG

had to add an additional $5 million in Transnet Funds (our sales tax) for a total of $11 million for the east alignment. Cynical politicians like to say: ‘Well, it’s not coming out of the City’s budget’; but it’s still taxpayer money and it’s still a huge waste compared to Coast Highway, Even though the east side will cost an unconscionable $11 million a mile, while the Coast Highway will cost less than $3 million total with no environmental impacts and will have probably 10 times more users because of its location on the bluffs above the ocean; Even though SANDAG is critically short of Transnet Funds (after they misled the public about their 2016 campaign for a multi-billion dollar bond); and even though other important transportation projects may not get funded as a result; and even though when asked if other Transnet projects would lose funding to pay for the east side, SANDAG’s response was essentially

“don’t worry about it, there’s more where that came from (like SB1 gas tax increase).” If you’re not upset by SANDAG and Blakespear wasting our tax dollars on the east alignment for the Cardiff Rail Trail … you should be. Now is not the time for the City Council to get wobbly. It is time to assert common sense, to stand-up for our community against overreaching regional agencies, to protect the coastal environment, to preserve beach access and, last but not least, to save taxpayer money. Build the regional class 1 bike Rail Trail on Coast Highway and a smaller local bike/pedestrian path east of the railroad tracks. Mayor Blakespear and the City Council have the power to stop this disaster of a flip-flop imposed on Encinitas by the Coastal Commission and SANDAG. Really! Ralph Thielicke Cardiff

Sixty percent of the businesses he has talked to are willing to participate, he said. Planning Commissioner Michael Glenn O'Grady, who represents Leucadia, said the city should also work to make roundabouts in the area more visible. "You kind of take your life in your hands in those roundabouts," he said. One resident also encouraged the consultants to discuss safety tips with students from Paul Ecke, which is located just east of the under-crossing. LaHaye said the firm is looking to work directly with the school to help educate the students about the construction. "This is a great opportunity to teach [the students] about planning and engineering," he

"This is something that is a learning experience right by their school. It only makes sense to take advantage of that." LaHaye said safety is the consultants' number one concern. "We're looking to solve a safety issue and we don't want to create another one," he said. He said North Coast Transit

FROM RESTAURANTS, A1 Kevin Doyle said, noting that concerns about downtown restaurants morphing into bars late at night have regularly been raised. The proposed alcohol ordinance is part of the city's latest effort to curb years of complaints about alcohol-related problems in downtown, including late-night noise, vandalism and drunken driving. A "deemed approved" ordinance, which will create a new permit system for alcohol-serving establishments, also is in the works and it's scheduled to go before the Encinitas City Council on June 28. After placing various conditions on Union's patio proposal — including a ban on live or amplified music — commissioners voted 4-0, to approve the permit. Commissioner Greg Drakos absent. Up to 50 patrons will be allowed to eat and drink on the patio area, which will be renovated, roofed-over and soundproofed. "We feel it's a benefit to the

FROM SWITCHFOOT, A1 Conservatory, as well as fourth through sixth grade singers from Casillas Elementary in Chula Vista, joined Switchfoot on stage for two songs during the special airport performance. Foreman, after finishing the band’s signature song “Dare You to Move,” said supporting the children is at the band's core. Each year, Switchfoot’s Bro-Am Foundation raises money and awareness for underprivileged and at-risk youth. "I think part of me likes kids more than I like adults," he said, smiling. "I feel like kids are honest and real, and music is the same way where it has this honesty. For me, I think back to when I was a kid and music became this vehicle that I could use to go places. I want that same empowerment for the next generation."

District requires a security camera under the bridge and if a police vehicle were to park at one end of the tunnel, the officer could easily see through to the other end. Máté Boerner Horvath, the 9-year-old son of Council member Tasha Boerner Horvath, said he is looking forward to the underpass to safely walk his younger sister to Paul Ecke in the future.

"It will be a lot shorter because now we have to go around," said the Paul Ecke fourth grader who will be in middle school by the time construction is completed. "There's an intersection we have to go through now, and it just takes forever. The light takes a really long time to circle around. I think it would make a lot more people walk and bike around here."

community. We feel it's something the vast majority of the community would like," said Chris Cox, director of operations for the OMG Hospitality Group, which operates the restaurant and a host of other establishments in San Diego County, including the PB Alehouse. This was the second time that the patio proposal had gone before the commission. In January, commissioners heard the proposal, but declined to take a vote, saying they wanted to wait for the pending release of a city report on the ever-growing number of alcohol-serving establishments in downtown. Commissioners said at the time that they weren't calling for a permit "moratorium" — they just wanted to "push the pause button" for a bit on approving any more alcohol-related permits. After receiving that staff report, the commissioners decided against recommending a moratorium, but instead asked the City Council to enact new regulations, including the "deemed approved" ordinance that's schedule to

go up for a vote later this month. Though the Union's expansion plans have been hotly contested in the past, public comment to the commissioners June 15 was initially upbeat. A representative for the nearby Self-Realization Fellowship said his organization had resolved its issues with the project and would support it as long as permit conditions were met. Later, though, as commissioners began their deliberations, a man in the audience started loudly swearing and yelling out that the commissioners were caving in to the restaurant’s request. Commission Chairman Glenn O'Grady ordered the man to sit down and shut up. Ultimately, O'Grady banged the gavel and declared a recess in the meeting until order was restored. "There are nights when I would expect something like that — tonight I wasn't expecting (it)," O’Grady said once the meeting resumed. Barbara Henry is a freelance writer in Encinitas for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

The band teamed up with Casillas — which was recently recognized as a VH1 Save the Music school and received $35,000 in band equipment — earlier this school year when they heard the choir was learning the band's song "Float." Switchfoot, after surprising the students in class, then invited the children to perform with them at the airport and at Bro-Am. Lilly, a 10-year-old Casillas student, said she was excited to sing with Switchfoot and just be able to participate in the arts in general. "Sometimes people with cell phones and other electronics can just forget the things that entertained us before that stuff," said the girl who is entering the fifth grade. "We're helping to spread the influence of art all around the world." Briandi, another 10-year-old who is

entering the fifth grade, agreed, adding music is important because "it helps your brain develop and is relaxing." Casillas Music Teacher Jonathan Seligman said he is grateful to Switchfoot for performing with his kids and for being humble in the process. Seligman considers the performing arts for kids as vital. "It's a way for them to express themselves," he said. "Our school is very well known for its sports, but there are still those students who are not able to express themselves because they're not athletically inclined. When music first came to Casillas, you just saw a lot of people who were in the shadows of these athletes. For a group like Switchfoot validating this and telling us we're doing a great job, that's huge." Visit www.broam.org

In addition to monetary awards, students received brand new Apple MacBook Air computers. Students arrived to the Future Leaders Scholarship Dinner knowing they received scholarships, but they were not aware of the amount of their awards, nor did they know what kind of laptop they would be receiving. Students and their families were amazed when these awards were revealed. La Costa Canyon Senior Juan Duran described receiving these gifts as have a great “impact” on his financial situation, citing how these gifts lifted stress and uncertainty off of his shoulders: “I am very grateful to have received the scholarship.” Juan will be attending CSU Chico in the fall and intends to study construction management and concrete industrial management. The evening was spent celebrating the students, with kind and encouraging words shared by mentors who have worked with these students over months, and even years. Moving on to universities all over California to study a wide variety of topics, these students are on their ways to becoming future leaders. Visit www.casadeamistad.org.

FROM NAPIZZA, A15 customer orders a slice, it’s crisped up in a high-temperature oven. With the new service, the par-baked slices can now be packaged for home-crisping at 450 degrees. The Encinitas store offers free delivery, even to cellphone customers on the local beaches, via an electric bicycle with a heated delivery case on the back. The company has grown to 70 employees, including a handful of cousins and siblings from Italy. Colmignoli, 36, said the biggest changes at Napizza in recent years haven’t

been in the kitchen but in the corporate culture. Two years ago, the stores were experiencing 120 percent employee turnover each year. She said the mostly Millennial workforce wasn’t motivated by money, so she and Antinucci launched their Live Culture Foundation to improve the workplace experience. Employee turnover has since dropped to 25 percent a year, thanks to programs like employee retreats, yoga days, company-paid education programs, employee-led “fun” and “cause” committees, community outreach efforts, paid paternity leave and vacation benefits after three years.

Although Antinucci said they plan to open another Napizza location later this year, they’re not planning another expansion on the home front. “We’ll definitely open more stores,” Antinucci said, “but we’re done having kids after this.” Napizza • Hours: Opens at 10:30 a.m. daily • Location: 615 S.
