"I personally went to the rally because the hateful message sent to our mayor struck close to home for me," said Corrales, who regularly volunteers with the Leucadia Main Street Association, in an email. "Mostly I felt a duty to support Catherine because I am a survivor of rape. I cannot stand to see one more female (or male) sexually assaulted, harassed, or oppressed. This crime is real. Rape is not a joke, and these violent individuals who commit such crimes need to be punished accordingly." The group made and displayed signs that showed support for the mayor and a desire to "end hate speech now." SEE MAYOR, A23

BY MAURA DOLAN A landowner who objects to a condition of a building permit but proceeds with the project anyway cannot later successfully sue to have that condition removed, the California Supreme Court decided unanimously Thursday, July 6. The state high court ruled against two homeowners in Encinitas who built a seawall to prevent their houses from sliding into the ocean. While building the wall, the owners went to court to challenge two conditions of a permit from the California Coastal Commission. One denied them the right to replace stairs to the beach that had been destroyed in a storm and the other required the owners to obtain a new permit for the seawall after 20 years. “The crucial point is that they went forward with construction before obtaining a judicial determination on their objections,” Justice Carol A. Corrigan wrote for the court. As a result, Corrigan said, they forfeited their right to have the permit condition overturned. “In general, permit holders are obliged to accept the burdens of a permit along with its benefits,” the court said.

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Encinitas residents are rallying around Mayor Catherine Blakespear after authorities say she was sent a threatening text message earlier this month. The mayor, who was elected to a two-year term in November, was sent the text on July 2 from a disposable cell phone, according to Capt. John Maryon of the Sheriff's Department's North Coastal Station, which is investigating the incident. Authorities said the sender wrote they had fantasies of committing violent sexual acts against the mayor, who was referred to as “Cathy” in the text. Maryon said a crime report was taken and the department is taking the threat seriously and is conducting a full investigation. "To send something like that is not right, and it's illegal," he said. About 15 residents agreed that the text

City reminds residents of PACE program The City of Encinitas is gearing up for another busy summer of visitors in the downtown area, and is reminding residents about the PACE Program, which is a proactive code enforcement effort to help ensure health, safety and peacefulness in the downtown Encinitas area and surrounding neighborhoods. The program was established three years ago to help minimize potential impacts from alcohol-serving establishments. Matters like underage drinking, noise, disorderly conduct and litter are primary focuses of the program, along with operational issues such as occupancy loads, idling vehicles, entertainment licenses and responsible beverage sales and service. When the PACE program started in the summer of 2014, compliance rate was approximately 36 perecent. Today’s compliance rate is close to 95 percent. “The program is a collaborative approach between the City, the sheriff’s department, local neighbors, and alcohol-serving businesses aimed at upholding the City’s municipal codes,” explained Roy Sapa’u, acting city planner. “The objective of the program is to increase awareness and knowledge of the city’s codes in order to better ensure health, safety and peacefulness in our community.” PACE takes a proactive approach to resolving these issues by conducting inspections of businesses at regular intervals.

Late night inspections are conducted monthly during the busy summer months of June, July and August and routine spot inspections are conducted weekly during that same time period. Special patrols are scheduled as needed, and inspections may be initiated by residents who witness a violation. Under PACE, businesses in violation of the municipal code will be required to come into compliance and may be subject to administrative citations or other corrective actions. In addition to the PACE Program, the City Council approved a new ordinance at its June 28 meeting to further clamp down on these unwanted impacts. The so-called “deemed approval” ordinance will allow the City to evaluate permits for establishments that have recurring public nuisance complaints and require a new conditional use permit with stricter limits. “This new ordinance, together with our already-established PACE Program, will help the City maintain the tranquility desired by its residents and visitors,” continued Sapa’u. “It’s another tool in our toolbox.” If you witness a violation and wish to file a complaint, please call the PACE 24-hour hotline at (760) 633-2622 or Encinitas Sheriff’s Department non-emergency dispatch at (858) 565-5200. Residents must also submit a complaint online at http://bit.ly/EncinitasPACE. — Submitted news release

Encinitas volleyball superstar sets her sights on Texas BY ROB LEDONNE hen Encinitas native Lexi Sun, the top high school volleyball player in the United States, began her athletic career while still a child she originally excelled at another sport. “I grew up playing competitive soccer for Surf in Del Mar and we won back-to-back state championships,” said Sun, who was born and raised in Encinitas. “That was until I was 11 years old. I was a head taller than all of my friends when my parents forced me to try volleyball. At first I was furious. I didn’t want to leave my team that I had grown up playing with, but my parents promised me that if I tried volleyball and didn’t like it, they’d let me go back to soccer.” Sun begrudgingly agreed, but it turned out that her parents had the right idea. In the decade since that fateful shift from soccer to volleyball, Sun has constructed an astounding career, collecting a multitude of accomplishments and accolades playing for both Santa Fe Christian and Team USA’s squads, and capturing national attention thanks to her skill on the court along the way. Named ALL-USA’s Player of the Year last December led ESPN to dub Sun “NCAA Volleyball’s Next Breakout Star” after the rising player signed onto the ranks of the University of Texas Longhorns, which she joins this fall. Notable from the start, Sun’s tenure at Santa Fe Christian wrapped up with the player leading her team to win the CIF Championship her senior year, which she considers her most memorable moment as an athlete. “(I was) alongside my lifelong friends while getting the opportunity to represent

Lexi Sun our school and, most importantly, God.” The CIF win was a perfect bookend for Sun, who spent the summer before her senior year with Team USA, traveling to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where she played alongside some of the top high school athletes in the country. “The head coach, Laurie Corbelli, led our team to the Norecca 2016 Championship,” says Sun of the experience. “Although we didn’t win, it was an honor to put on a USA jersey and gain experience playing against international teams.” For Sun, it was her second time with Team USA. In the summer of 2015, the star player was the squad’s top scorer during World Championships in Peru. Those multiple once-in-an-athletic-life experiences led to Sun’s Player of the Year accolade, which ALL-USA bestowed on Sun based on in-season performance, level of competition and strength of schedule. In addition, Sun was also named Gatorade’s 2016-2017 Volleyball Player of the Year. Receiving the awards made Sun “all the more

COURTESY TEXAS ATHLETICS

thankful for the endless support and encouragement of my family, coaches and friends who helped me get to the position I am today.” Both accolades make Sun the first incoming Longhorn recruit in 20 years to be named Player of the Year, signaling an upcoming renaissance for the team. It’ll also be the first time that Sun has lived anywhere other than her childhood home in Encinitas, but, of course, she’s up for the challenge. In fact, Sun is already in Austin and gearing up for the the upcoming season. “Even though I do miss sunny San Diego greatly, I am excited to get the opportunity to experience a new culture in Texas and make lifelong memories and friendships,” Sun said. “(Right now I’m) working out with the team and taking my first two college classes.” And, naturally, Sun is looking forward to yet another top prize. “I am beyond excited for the fall season to start to get the opportunity to play and compete for another national championship.”

Brothers in Recovery

Two Torrey Pines graduates overcome addictions, open rehab center BY KAREN BILLING After battling the disease of addiction for many years, Torrey Pines High School graduates and brothers Michael and Rob Weir have turned their lives around and are now committed to helping others do the same. Along with partner Wesley Heim, the brothers recently opened Immersive Recovery, a drug and alcohol treatment center for men in San Marcos. “Obviously we put our parents through hell,” Michael said of their struggles with addiction that began as teenagers. “Our parents are incredibly happy that we are making an impact on other people’s lives. When we decided to get clean, it made a huge impact on our family dynamic, we are more bonded and cohesive than we have ever been.” “When we get a guy come to us with nothing and we get to see him get clean and start to work and engage with life, rebuild relationships and move forward in a positive way, that’s really rewarding,” Rob said. The brothers have been working in the recovery field since 2013, when Michael and Heim established a community of structured sober living homes throughout San Diego County called First Step. With Immersive Recovery, they have crafted a high level of care that specializes in “meeting clients where they are.” The individualized care is designed to address and effectively treat the disease of addiction while simultaneously establishing a lifestyle of recovery. Immersive Recovery offers individual, group and family sessions, solution-focused therapy, behavioral therapy, exposure-based outings and activities, life skills training and after care, such as sober living placement and career counseling. The Weir brothers are nationally-certified recovery coaches and their staff includes clinical and medical directors, physicians and outside counselors to guide clients through

Michael and Rob Weir of Immersive Recovery the individual therapy process. The men are reaching a demographic they once fit into — guys with a combination of failure to launch syndrome and chemical dependency. The Weirs said they are proof that drug and alcohol addiction is a non-discriminatory disease. “Just because you live in an affluent area doesn’t mean you’re exempt from suffering from addiction,” Rob said, noting that, sadly, between them they have lost several friends from Torrey Pines High School to drug overdoses. “There’s an epidemic right now,” Michael said. “Opioid abuse is killing more people than ever and it’s really

important we have a strong, quality programs to address the underlying issues.” The brothers said they began drinking and experimenting with drugs in an effort to be a part of the “party scene” at Torrey Pines. “I felt like a normal Torrey Pines kid. It’s just what everyone was doing,” said Rob, who graduated in 2004. Michael said he started with alcohol but was doing cocaine by the time he was a sophomore. “It was the social norm. It was nothing to wake up on a Saturday morning with a hangover,” Michael said. Soon their partying extended into the week days. All of that experimenting and trying to be part of the “in crowd” created bad habits of habitual drug and alcohol abuse for Rob. By the time he landed at University of Colorado at Boulder, he was in a downward spiral that led him to abuse Xanax, OxyContin and opiates. Michael, 30, graduated from Torrey Pines in 2005 and also got deep into opiate abuse. He attended Mira Costa College briefly, but his drinking and drug use soon became his full-time job. “My addiction was so strong I needed to use every day to not get sick,” Mike said. “It becomes entirely possessive and that’s where the issue lies. With addiction, there is nothing else in life but that. It’s rough.” In time, they found their own bottoms. Rob got sober at 25 and Michael at age 26. Their experiences in clinical treatment facilities and programs helped inform what Immersive Recovery needed to be. “We need to be getting guys engaged with their passions, hobbies and interests to give them reasons to stay sober,” Rob said “By creating small, measurable successes, it builds SEE RECOVERY, A22

Encinitas duo make Brekki their big break BY PAM KRAGEN hile training for an ultra-marathon in Australia a few years back, Russell Radebaugh discovered an oats, milk and grain breakfast dish that was not only healthy but kept him full for hours. Three years later, Radebaugh, 35, and his longtime friend and now partner, Greg Peyser, 33, launched Brekki, a new Carlsbad company that manufactures an adapted version of that dish, which is known as Bircher muesli, or overnight oats. Brekki — inspired by the Australian slang word for breakfast — is a mix of rolled oats, almond milk, grains, seeds, nuts and fresh fruit. It sells for $2.99 per 6-ounce refrigerated tub and can be found in the refrigerated section at 16 Whole Foods markets in Southern California. Peyser said the feedback he and Radebaugh are getting from customers has been encouraging. “People taste it and say ‘it’s good’ and they can’t believe it’s non-dairy because it’s so creamy,” Peyser said. “Seeing how the product resonates with people, that’s the golden ticket for us.” Radebaugh and Peyser met a decade ago when they were both college lacrosse players. Radebaugh grew up in Maryland and after college went to work in marketing for the Campbell Soup Co. in Philadelphia. Peyser is originally from New York and has a background in the credit and food industries. Five years ago, he and his wife, Whitney, started a company distributing organic produce in San Diego. The following year, the organic juice company Suja bought the Peysers’ company and hired him to serve as Suja’s director of procurement. In August 2015, Radebaugh joined Suja as the company’s director of marketing. Once Peyser and Radebaugh — who both live in Encinitas — were working under the same roof at Suja, they started talking about one day starting their own company. That’s when Radebaugh brought up Bircher meusli, which he first tasted in 2014 during that visit to his wife, Michelle’s, native Australia. Australians didn’t invent Bircher meusli. It was a mush created in the 1800s by Swiss doctor and nutritionist Maximilian Bircher-Benner as a way to get more raw fruit into the diets of his sanitorium patients. To soften the uncooked oats and grains, they were traditionally soaked overnight in milk or cream. Every weekend for more than a year, Radebaugh and Peyser experimented with different recipes. They decided to use almond milk instead of cow’s milk so it could be sold as a dairy-free, vegan product. They also worked for months to find just the right combination of ingredients for creaminess and consistency. Besides oats, Brekki is made with buckwheat, chia and flax seeds, puffed amaranth grain, sea salt and coconut syrup. The product has about 300 calories with as little as 7 grams of sugar per serving. In January, they flew to the Winter Fancy Foods Show in San Francisco, where they met with a buyer for Whole Foods. Radebaugh said the timing of their

Russell Radebaugh, left, and Greg Peyser of Brekki hold different flavors of their Australian-inspired overnight oatmeal product, which is sold at select Whole Foods stores in Southern California. meeting was ideal because in the year they’d been working on their formula, the popularity of overnight oats exploded in America. Recipes and photos began turning up on Instagram and Pinterest and companies like Starbucks began developing their own overnight oats products. “They did all the heavy lifting for us when it came to product awareness,” Radebaugh said. While the entrepreneurs were confident about their product, they were stunned when Whole Foods contacted them in March with a product order. At the time, they had no office or manufacturing site. But rather than miss the opportunity, they resigned from Suja and rented a “makers” space, where they could have a front office, a manufacturing space and, eventually a retail space, at Carlsbad Gateway Center. Just six weeks later, the first cases of Brekki overnight oats rolled off the assembly line. Up until a few weeks ago, the partners have been doing everything themselves from making the product to in-store demonstrations. The face-to-face interaction with customers has been enlightening, Peyser said, because it helped them find a new market niche. “We’ve seen a great opportunity with health-conscious parents,” said Peyser. “My wife and I are working parents with two kids and we don’t feel bad peeling the seal on this product and giving it to the kids in the morning.” So far, they’ve shipped about 80 cases of their product, but they expect that to grow quickly. Recently, Whole Foods expanded its test market for the product from 11 to 16 stores. Peyser said sales tracking shows the product is growing in sales each week. Brekki is available in four flavors: original, strawberry, raspberry and blueberry. Radebaugh said they’re looking to eventually add some tropical flavors like coconut. They’re also considering some savory flavors, like cardamom or turmeric, so Brekki can become an all-day snack. “We think there’s a market for it,” Radebaugh said, “but people need to get eased into it.” Brekki sells for $2.99 for a 6-ounce portion.

Hikers, are you up for a challenge? Trek five San Dieguito River Park trails to earn rewards BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Love nature and hiking local trails? Then the inaugural Coast to Crest Trail Challenge is for you. The challenge is to hike five trails in the San Dieguito River Park by June 30, 2018. After submitting a selfie taken at each designated photo spot, participants will receive a reward. An extra prize is offered to the first 50 who complete the challenge posed by the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy. “We offered the most interesting hikes with the best views,” said Jess Norton, SDRVC’s conservation manager. The five trails include one in Rancho Bernardo — Bernardo Mountain, which overlooks Lake Hodges. The others are Clevenger Canyon South in San Pasqual, Del Dios Gorge in Rancho Santa Fe, San Dieguito Lagoon in Del Mar and Volcan Mountain in Julian. Details about each hike are below. Those who successfully complete the challenge that began Saturday will receive a certificate and decal, a 20 percent off coupon from REI, $10 in Adventure Bucks from Adventure 16 “plus bragging rights for accomplishing five cool outdoor adventures,” according to organizers. The first 50 who complete the challenge and submit their photos for verification will also receive a SDRVC cooling towel.

response to the offer more could be added to the schedule, said SDRVC Executive Director Trish Boaz. “Volcan sold out in the first three days, so we’ll open a second ... due to popular demand,” Boaz said, adding all the other guided hikes are near full — even those scheduled for next year — so she advises those interested to reserve their spots quickly. She said high interest in hiking Volcan Mountain was also likely due to it being named one of the 10 best hikes in the county. While challenge participants do not need to

go on a guided hike, Boaz said they are “an opportunity to join people who are knowledgeable and can let them know about the biodiversity of the plants and animals at the locations.” Boaz said all the hikes are likely doable for ages 12 and up, ranging from easy to strenuous, but people need to take safety precautions. Norton said she advises hikers to start out early in the morning, especially in the summer before the temperature gets too hot. Also, hike with a buddy and be aware of rattlesnakes. “In terms of safety, the number one concern is ... having enough water,” Boaz added. She said at a minimum people should bring with them 20 ounces (2.5 cups) of water per mile they plan to hike. “Have fun,” Boaz added, saying the river park’s Coast to Crest Trail — spanning a 70 mile stretch between Del Mar to Julian — “should not be the best kept secret in San Diego.” The challenge’s trails are: ■ The Volcan Mountain trail’s free guided hike on July 8 is sold-out, but another will be scheduled, Boaz said.

Local martial arts students earn big wins at World Championship

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Local martial arts students are showing off some serious gear after they were named champions at the ATA International World Expo in Little Rock, Ark., last month. More than a dozen young competitors from the Encinitas and Carmel Valley-based Church's ATA Martial Arts placed in various competitions and won medals at the event held June 20-25. The children, ranging between 2 and 18 years old, train between two and seven hours a day for seven days a week, said Trish Church, chief instructor and owner. "They live at the studio," Church joked. "There's no better place to be than at the studio for your daughters. Lock them in and throw away the key." On July 7, some of the competitors — young girls between the ages of 8 and 11 — showed off their moves during an interview at the center's Carmel Valley location. The girls said martial arts teaches them to work hard for their goals. "It gives you a lot of confidence and builds relationships with friends," said 11-year-old Grace Dabir, who began training when she was 4. "They're like all my little sisters." Grace won in the 9 through 10 age division in traditional forms.

The Church's ATA Martial Arts students below won first place in the divisions listed at the recent ATA International World Expo in Little Rock, Ark.: Olivia Pascua: Traditional Forms Channah Zeitung: Traditional Weapons, Creative Forms Weapons & Extreme weapons Xavier Soriano: Sparring Alycia Chee: Creative forms Grace Dabir: Traditional Forms

Trish Church, chief instructor and owner, of Church's ATA Martial Arts, right, instructs students on July 7 at her Carmel Valley studio. Channah Zeitung, 9, said she feels like her hard work has paid off. The girl — who began practicing martial arts at age 2 after switching over from ballet — won four world titles in the 8 and under division (she turned 9 after the competition), including traditional weapons, creative forms, creative weapons and extreme weapons. After Channah won, it was like a "chain reaction" for the other girls to also win in their categories, Church said.

Students won in categories such as creative forms, traditional forms, creative weapons and extreme weapons. Church, who estimates she has nearly 700 students between her two studios, said she sees the "end goal," and in the studio, the girls are growing up in a safe environment. "The ultimate goal is for them to understand what it is to work hard to set goals to know that, at this age, they can achieve anything," she said. "Everybody works hard in the

Many of her students have gone on to receive full-ride scholarships from prestigious universities throughout the country. She also said that her students typically earn straight “As” in school. Church, who began practicing martial arts when she was 30, said knowing self-defense is invaluable for young girls.

"We're not just one-sided. You'll see a lot of schools that are just sparring schools or that don't compete at all. We're very well-rounded, and we do multiple types of martial arts."

SDA water polo player Dylan Herrera hits the right note BY GIDEON RUBIN n the surface, the skill-sets required to play competitive high school water polo and succeed in the music business don’t offer obvious similarities. Dylan Herrera, an incoming junior at San Dieguito Academy (SDA), is the first to admit that. But from his perspective, both ventures are a lot easier when you can get everyone on the same page. Herrera should know. He’s emerged as a rising star for the school’s burgeoning water polo program, and performs and manages a teen rock band, The Elements, that’s gained recognition this summer. “There’s the teamwork in both, you’ve got to listen to everyone’s critiques and make suggestions,” Herrera said. “For this little play in water polo, you could’ve done this or that, or what songs should go over here or over there, and change the order of that.” Herrera seems to be figuring it out, even when unexpected challenges come up. Herrera didn’t have much time to prepare for his varsity water polo debut. He got called up from the junior varsity at the end of the season when senior goalie Conner Dahl suffered a broken hand. “I didn’t know until a couple of days before CIF (San Diego Section playoffs) that he wouldn’t be able to play,” Herrera said. Herrera immediately noticed a game that was faster and more physical in the Division III playoffs. “It was a lot of pressure,” Herrera said. Herrera immediately impressed.

Dylan Herrera is a member of The Elements rock band. “Dylan really sort of presented himself as a leader and really stepped up his game and got a lot of confidence going into the playoffs,” SDA coach Scott Kling said. Herrera played goalie for the Mustangs for their best playoff run in school history. SDA reached the Division III finals, losing to Helix 8-6. The two teams were tied at 5-5 after three quarters. Herrera had 11 saves. Although he was still on the junior varsity

the SDA water polo team this fall. The Elements will cross-promote their music and their sport next month at the Aquatic Games, an event created by five-time Olympian Tony Azevedo. The Elements will perform during the opening ceremonies on Aug. 2 at Cabrillo High School in Long Beach. Herrera is a relative newcomer to water polo. He was in middle school when he started playing on the suggestion of a swim instructor who noticed during lessons that he had a natural eggbeater kick, which enables poloists to stay afloat keeping their hands free. Herrera will compete next month at the Junior Olympics for the Del Mar Water Polo Club. For now, Herrera is focused on developing his game and enjoying the moment. Playing collegiately isn’t something he thinks about much. “I just want to have fun,” Herrera said. “It would be awesome to play at the college level but it’s no big deal, it’s just really fun to play and hang out with all the guys and just build friendships. “It’d be fun to continue on but it’s just a fun hobby, it’s not like it’s my dream to play in college.” Kling believes Herrera would have a lot to offer a Division II or III program, noting the vast majority of Division water polo scholarships go to players in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. “He’s a real gamer,” Kling said. “He takes on a challenge and sort of breaks it down and SEE HERRERA, A21

Herman Cook Volkswagen a family affair for 50 years

erman Cook Volkswagen in Encinitas is celebrating a big birthday this month and is planning a party to commemorate it. The dealership, at 1435 Encinitas Boulevard, has been in business for 50 years since Herman Cook opened it in 1967. Cook — who began working for Riviera Volkswagen of Manhattan Beach in 1956 and came to Encinitas with his family in 1966 — acquired the land, near Encinitas Boulevard and El Camino Real. San Diego County officials predicted the area to be the hub of the booming city, said Cook’s son, Dennis Cook. “We all kind of lucked out, and it turned out to be a great location,” said Dennis, who has served as president and owner of the dealership since his dad retired in 1980. “In the early days, Encinitas Boulevard, which was then called San Marcos Road, was a two-way road and El Camino dead-ended there. It didn’t go south. South was nothing but sagebrush and cacti.” Now, the area is adorned with businesses and is a high-traffic area in Encinitas.

Dennis said he has also continued to support the city, having served as president of the Encinitas Rotary Club and served as both the chairman and a member of the Board of Managers at the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA. “The community is changing,” he said. “It’s not the sleepy little surf town that it once was. But there are still a lot of people who have lived here for a long, long time and we’re fortunate a lot of those people continue to do business with us.” Dennis, who has worked at the dealership since he was 13, said the dealership is now serving third and fourth generations of the same families. People come back because of the business’ “family-friendly environment,” he said. Both of Dennis’ sons work at the dealership as part owners, making the business a true family affair that Dennis hopes to extend to the customers. “We want you to come in here and feel like you’re being treated like you’re a member of the family,” Dennis said. “You’re not just a number. We don’t SEE HERMAN COOK, A22

Considering a Remodel?

Musicians perform in a past iPalpiti Festival.

COURTESY

iPalpiti Festival returns this week This week, Encinitas will welcome the annual iPalpiti Festival for the 6th consecutive year. The 23 remarkable world-class young musicians from 18 different countries exemplify the true spirit of iPalpiti: to touch the lives of all who hear them through their gift of music. The festival begins with four different Soloist Concerts at the Encinitas Library, from July 13-16, by six virtuoso iPalpiti Soloists. On Wednesday, July 19, at 7:30 p.m., the community will hear the full 23 member iPalpiti Orchestra, conducted by Eduard Schmieder, in a performance at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. The string orchestra iPalpiti (ee-PAHL-pit-ee, Italian for "heartbeats") is

unique in that it draws its members from prize-winning laureates of international competitions for the three week summer music festival, which begins in Encinitas, then moves to Orange County, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and culminates at Walt Disney Concert Hall on July 29. To experience an iPalpiti Festival is to witness the future of classical music. For more information on the concerts and tickets, visit www.ipalpiti.org. Tickets to the library concerts are $15 each, the orchestra concert is $25.

Israeli, Palestinian and American teens to unite through Hands of Peace program A three-week peace-building program with 47 Israeli, Palestinian and American teens will take place in Carlsbad this summer, July 12-31, to break down the walls of conflict in the Middle East and throughout the world, according to a press release. Hands of Peace brings together high school students to build bridges and leadership skills among teens divided by conflict, culture, geography and history. Their activities take place at various locations throughout San Diego County. Now in its fourth year in Carlsbad, the Hands of Peace program empowers young people to find their voice as peace leaders, break down stereotypes and gain the knowledge and critical thinking skills to take steps toward peace in their home communities.

Teen participants have undergone an extensive application process to be part of the program, showing a desire to share their perspectives, listen and work toward peace. Many of the Middle East participants have experienced violence and loss as a result of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and are meeting the other “side” for the first time. The central activity of the program is intensive daily dialogue sessions, led by professional facilitators, in which teens share personal stories, listen and share views about paths for peace. They also take part in educational activities, including a visit to a church, synagogue, and mosque and a community organizing workshop. Other activities include a "Ropes Course, Hunger Van Service

long-lasting relationships with the teens and see conflict through the eyes of those who have experienced it firsthand. “Young people are the key to change and peace, so the

transformations that we see taking place during the summer program give us hope for a better future,” says Gretchen Grad, founder of Hands of Peace.

Rock ’N’ Roll Camp for Girls aims to boost confidence, talents

Participants play in a band as part of a past Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls San Diego. noon. The event is open to the public, and tickets cost $10. "It's a fast program, and it's very powerful," said Grove, who plays the guitar. "We come in with a punch and then they get the honor of playing at the House of Blues, which has been

very supportive." Throughout the week, the girls also participate in empowering workshops that focus on topics like image and identity. They also design band logos, which are then screen-printed onto T-shirts.

Grove said her goal is to help shape the girls into strong women. "We're in an interesting, challenging time right now, especially for females," she said. "This allows the girls to come together and collaborate,

communicate with each other and just have a space for self-expression. It's a great place for them to come and try new things out, have a voice and be heard. I really want to encourage girls to be advocates for each other, as well as themselves, and foster leadership." Grove believes every girl should have a chance to participate in the camp, regardless of financial status. Camp registration is $375, but the nonprofit also provides financial aid to those who need it. Registration is nearly filled, but the camp may still have spots available. Those interested should check the camp's website. Grove said she enjoys seeing the girls collaborate with each other. "When they come in on a Monday, they're coming in as an individual,” she said. “It's like magic over the course of the next couple of days. I can hear their conversations being a little more open-minded, they want to collaborate more and work together." For more information, visit www.rockcampforgirlssd.org.

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A San Diego camp is hoping to empower girls through music later this month. Leucadia resident Melissa Grove founded the nonprofit Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls San Diego two years ago as a way to help the girls build confidence and talents. The San Diego chapter is one of more than 100 worldwide. "My main goal in life is to give children empowering experiences," said Grove, who formerly worked in child development and the theatre. "This allows me to use my gift in the performing arts in a way that I'm passionate about." At the camp, which runs July 24 through the 28 at the San Diego Performing Arts Center, 40 girls — in age groups of 8 through 11 and 12 through 17 — take on the guitar, bass, vocals, drums or keyboards in eight bands and are led by volunteer female instructors. For some, it will be their first time picking up an instrument, Grove said. Each band also writes its own original song. The hard work is culminated with a performance at the House of Blues San Diego on July 29 at

A San Diego Premiere ‘At This Evening’s Performance’ offers laugh-a-minute farce BY DIANA SAENGER Actor John Nutten admits he’s been very fortunate in his career, appearing in films, TV shows and on stage. He’s performed at the North Coast Repertory Theatre before (“Unnecessary Farce,” “The Odd Couple,” “Time Stands Still,” “Breaking Legs”), and said he’s happy to return for the comedy and play-within-a-play, “At This Evening’s Performance,” written by Nagle Jackson and directed by Andrew Barnicle. “When I read the script it made me laugh out loud, something I normally don’t do,” Nutten said. “I found myself having to stop reading at times just to giggle. When I get something that funny, my instinct says of course I want to be a part of this play.” Not only is Nutten excited about the script, he’s crazy about his character Pankoff. “He’s an essential part of the play. He comes into the middle of the action, looks around, and says let’s shake things up a bit,” Nutten said. “The story takes place in a county in Eastern Europe called Strevia, which recently took over another country, Dunsk. Pankoff is now the Minister of Culture who has entered into a powerful situation and sees himself somewhat of a playwright. However, he doesn’t have a theater company and he lacks the skills for writing. He’s also a little bipolar, which is kind of fun in a comedy to play.” Bruce Turk (Gunther Posnik) and Katie MacNichol (Hippolyta Posnik) are a real married couple who play the leads, a married couple. Nutten said they are phenomenal actors and their performance alone is worth the price of admission. Newton’s favorite scene is when he’s trying to convince Gunther to be in his National Theatre Company. “Gunther says he wants the same thing,

“We welcome our neighborhood to sit back, enjoy a glass of wine and indulge in Italian culture while listening to local San Diegan musicians,” said Lorenzo Bucci, Pappalecco chef and co-owner. “The live music completes the authentic Italian experience, turning summer nights into Tuscan getaways right here in San Diego.” The Italian immigrant brother-owner duo, Francesco and Lorenzo Bucci, came to San Diego’s Little Italy from Pisa, Italy to make their “American Dream” a reality. The Bucci brothers have turned that dream into five Pappalecco locations across San Diego County. Made with five simple ingredients imported

from Tuscany, Pappalecco’s food items stick to the culinary principles that emphasize freshness, quality and simplicity of the Tuscan lifestyle, all of which can be enjoyed with a glass of wine and live music at Pappalecco’s Cardiff Music Nights. More artists participating in Pappalecco’s Cardiff Music Nights will be announced in upcoming weeks. The Cardiff location is at 2101 San Elijo Ave., Cardiff, CA 92007.

TO YOUR HEALTH

What is your skin trying to tell you?

ver the past three decades, more people have had skin cancer than all other cancers combined. The sooner skin cancer is diagnosed and treated, the greater the likelihood of a cure. An estimated one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). Melanoma is one of the most common cancers to strike people younger than age 30. It accounts for only one percent of all skin cancers but causes a large majority of skin cancer deaths. The American Cancer Society’s estimates that about 87,110 new melanomas will be diagnosed in 2017. Healthy Habits and Early Detection Can Save your Skin There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Cumulative sun exposure is a major risk factor for developing the first two types of skin cancer. But acute sunburns are often linked to melanoma. Know how recognize the early signs of skin cancer, how it is treated and what you can do to help protect your skin. Self-Check for Moles Anyone who has ever had a sunburn is at risk for melanoma, but genetics also play a part.

People who are fair skinned or have a family history must be more alert about changes in to their skin. “Regardless of their personal risk, San Diegans should be watching for atypical moles, which tend to be multicolored and asymmetrical,” said Hubert Greenway, M.D., chairman of Mohs and dermatologic surgery at Scripps Clinic. “Problem moles are usually located on the head, neck, upper back, torso or lower legs but can be found anywhere on the skin.” Moles should be self-checked monthly. If one is darker, itchy, has ragged borders or appears to be changing, see a dermatologist. Even without symptoms, visit a dermatologist once a year for a thorough exam. Prevent Sunburns and Protect Your Skin In sunny Southern California, 30 SPF (Sun Protection Factor) sunscreen, or higher, should be a daily ritual. Wear wide-brimmed hats to keep sunlight off the head and neck, and sunglasses to protect your eyes and surrounding skin. “Tanning beds should be avoided. They raise the risk of melanoma and also dry the skin, causing wrinkles and premature aging,” said Greenway. “Good fluid intake and using

moisturizers provides adequate hydration to protect the skin.” Watch out for reflected light from water, sand or snow, which intensify the sun’s rays. In addition, try to stay out of the sun during the most intense hours, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Get Treatment Sooner than Later The earlier melanoma is found, the easier it is to treat. Once the disease has spread, it becomes a serious problem. “In its earliest stages, melanoma is removed surgically. If it spreads to the lymph nodes, other therapies may be required,” said Greenway. “Advanced melanoma treatment options are limited in terms of their long-term success, but newer drugs and technologies have led to major gains in the quality of care available for melanoma patients. “The most effective way to beat skin cancer is to prevent it entirely,” said Greenway. Otherwise, early detection is the best bet. “Monthly self-exams and annual dermatologic checkups can be life-savers,” Greenway said. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

Calling all heroes: Local Red Cross seeks public’s nominations for annual awards Do you know an “ordinary” person with extraordinary courage? Someone who has saved a life, helped a neighbor in need, or made a difference in their community? If you know a local hero, the American Red Cross of San Diego/Imperial Counties asks you to nominate them for th 15th Annual Real Heroes Breakfast. “San Diego and Imperial Counties are home to many whose inspirational deeds of courage and humanitarian service are truly selfless,” said Bill Earley, regional CEO of the American Red Cross of San Diego/Imperial Counties. “We need the public’s help to locate those individuals and recognize the local heroes for their incredible actions.” The annual Red Cross Real Heroes Awards Breakfast honors those making an impact through their brave and compassionate actions, demonstrating a true commitment to creating

safer, stronger communities. Since the event’s inception, over 100 heroes have been honored. Watch the inspirational stories of previous honorees at youtube.com/SDICRedCross. This year, honorees will be celebrated across nine categories: adult, animal welfare, community leader, community partner, fire and rescue, humanitarian, law enforcement, military and youth. For a complete list of category descriptions, visit redcross.org/sandiego/realheroes. New this year is the Bill Trumpfheller Community Leadership Award. This award was created in memory of Bill Trumpfheller, a former Red Cross board chair who tragically passed away on Dec. 29, 2016. Trumpfheller will be the first individual to be honored with the prestigious Community Leadership Award. The award is given to an

individual or organization that has demonstrated excellence in community leadership and whose exceptional contributions have improved the safety, development or well-being of others or positively impacted the lives of those living in the region. Heroes are nominated by the public and are chosen by an awards selection committee comprised of local community leaders and event sponsors. Honorees are then selected based on the degree to which their actions uphold the values of the Red Cross humanitarian mission, and leave a lasting and positive impact on the residents of the community. This year’s Real Heroes award recipients will be honored at the event on Friday, Sept. 29 aboard the U.S.S. Midway Museum. Submit your nomination by July 21 at redcross.org/sandiego/realheroes

With new and returning favorite events, Del Mar primed for a ‘fantastic’ racing season BY KELLEY CARLSON el Mar is on top of the world. Not only is the seaside oval the site of this year’s Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships, it will serve as the home of Arrogate, currently the No. 1-ranked racehorse in the universe. The big, gray 4-year-old colt is scheduled to make his next start in the $300,000 TVG San Diego Handicap on July 22, his first since his victory in the $10 million Dubai World Cup in March.

Groups of Chargers — organized by decade — will assemble in the winner’s circle after each race to honor the victors, and then head to the Plaza de Mexico for a photo and autograph session with fans. Video clips from the team’s 56 years in San Diego will also be shown. Another themed day will be “Country Fest,” slated for Aug. 5. “Wear your hats, stylish boots and big belt buckles,” said Chris Bahr, director of events and promotions. “It will be a full day of country leading up to (the) Billy Currington (concert).” According to Bahr, there will be live music, a mechanical bull and trick roping demonstrations. The annual Western Regional Chili Cookoff will kick off at 1 p.m. in the Seaside Concert Area, to the west of the grandstand, where attendees will be treated to free samples and can vote for their favorites. The day will culminate with the performance by Currington, after the races. Yet another new event this year will be Burgers & Brews on Aug. 12. Tickets — which start at $34 — include admission to the track, the evening concert by Ludacris, 10 beer tastings, unlimited samples of patties and a “fry bar.” They can be purchased ahead of the date at burgersandbrews.com.

‘Up close and personal’

For the first time, Del Mar will offer a Premium View VIP area during its Summer Concert Series. A limited number of tickets are available for a space next to the stage, which also features a private bar and restrooms. “It’s a nice area to witness a concert — up close and personal,” Bahr touted. The majority of the performances —

which range from reggae to rock — will be held on “Four O’Clock Fridays.” On those days, attendees can receive half off of signature cocktails during “happy hour,” from the time gates open until 6 p.m. Several of the concerts will be held on weekends. Performances are free with track admission before the start of the final race, or $20 afterward, and are for ages 18 and older. For VIP tickets, go to delmarracing.com/premiumview.

Immersive Recovery offers a comprehensive partial hospitalization program (commonly referred to as day treatment) treating individuals at the earliest stages of sobriety, an intensive outpatient program, and group and individual sessions with a licensed marriage and family therapist

FROM CLIMATE, A1 commit to implementing specific programs and projects aimed at reducing and mitigating the impacts of GHG emitting activities by targeted dates. The new plan will be California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) qualified and will satisfy the CEQA requirements for greenhouse gas impact analysis for new development." The plan is to update the CAP every five years and produce monitoring reports and emissions inventory every two years. Adaptations will be made to prepare for sea level rise and erosion; increased temperature and more extreme heat events; increased precipitation and water supply uncertainty; and increased wildfire and flood risk. Encinitas previously held three workshops and put out online surveys earlier this year. Some suggestions from those meetings made it into the recent update, Najera said. The city's CAP focuses on proposed reduction strategies, such as building efficiency; renewable energy; clean and efficient transportation; water efficiency; zero waste; reducing off-road equipment; and carbon sequestration. Each strategy is broken up into its own list of goals. One resident at the July 11 meeting, which was attended by about 30 people, said that she would like to see future drive-thru restaurants prohibited. Cars at such establishments line up and keep the

Clients are offered dual-diagnosis therapies, 12-Step meetings, Celebrate Recovery meetings, social functions, outdoor activities, exercise, nutritional support, and are given the tools and assistance necessary to pursue successful, productive, drug-free lives. While not licensed counselors, Michael and Rob spend a lot of time with their clients offering both support and hope. They want to offer insight but don’t intend to be a model of what recovery has to look like. “Everyone has their own journey in recovery,” Rob said. “We want them to understand that they’re capable of going wherever it is they want to go.

What better thing could we be doing?” Learn more about Immersive Recovery at immersiverecovery.com motors going, she said. Najera said while prohibiting the restaurants has not been considered, bus and car idling have been on the city's radar. The same resident was also concerned about the coordination of traffic lights, and Najera said signal re-timing is part of the CAP. "It is one of the top three actions," she said. Others expressed desires for electric school and city buses, as well as plug-in electric vehicle charging stations. Those ideas, however, have other factors such as working with the school district for the buses and figuring out who would pay for the stations, Najera said. Zero waste was also discussed, and Najera said that is one of the city’s top priorities. Encinitas is aiming to implement a zero waste program by 2030. Encinitas Environmental Commissioner Jim Wang, who has reviewed CAPs in other cities, said he considers Encinitas to be “pretty outstanding” because it is working to be CEQA qualified and it plans to be 100 percent clean energy-based five years ahead of the City of San Diego. The current public comment period is the last before the final CAP is adopted in the fall. Residents are invited to submit ideas through July 18 at climateaction@encinitasca.gov.

Per the SDRVC, “The Volcan Mountain ridge is iconic as both the headwaters of the San Dieguito River and the highest point in the River Park (5,300 feet at the summit). Ironside Spring feeds Santa Ysabel Creek, which meets Santa Maria Creek in San Pasqual Valley to become the San Dieguito River. “The Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve is home to mixed conifer, oak and cedar forest, native grassland and seasonal ponds. The summit features sweeping views of Earthquake Valley and the Salton Sea to the east, and on a clear day, all the way to the ocean to the west. “Just as striking as the views from the summit is the beautiful Hubbell Gateway at the beginning of the trail.” ■ The San Dieguito Lagoon trail’s guided hike will be on Sept. 23. The trailhead is at the San Andres kiosk in Del Mar. The selfie spot is the Old Grand Avenue Overlook Bridge. It is a 2.76-mile round-trip that is rated “easy,” is open to hiking and biking, and dogs are allowed on leash. Per the SDRVC, “the intertidal marsh habitat at the San Dieguito Lagoon is among the most rare and threatened habitat in California. Starting in fall 2006, an ambitious restoration project created 115 acres of wetlands in addition to the traditional coastal sage scrub habitat. “The Lagoon is a popular spot for birdwatchers as it provides habitat for a number of endangered species. It’s also a popular stopping point for migratory birds along the Pacific Flyway.” ■ The Del Dios Gorge trail’s guided hike will be on Nov. 11. The trailhead is the Santa Fe Valley staging area off Del Dios Highway near Calle Ambiente in Rancho Santa Fe. It is a 4.54-mile round-trip that is rated “moderate,” is open to hiking and biking, and dogs are allowed on leash. The selfie spot is the Rattlesnake Viewpoint.

The summit offers breathtaking panoramic views where golden eagles once nested.” ■ Clevenger Canyon South trail’s guided hike will be on Feb. 24. The southern trailhead is around 5 miles from San Diego Zoo Safari Park in San Pasqual. There are two options. The east fork is a 4.4-mile round-trip with the selfie spot being the wire-mesh chairs bolted to a boulder. There are two summits, at 1,755 feet and 1,635 feet, providing views of Boden Canyon, Palomar Mountain, Volcan Mountain and the Laguna Mountains.

Both options are rated “strenuous,” open to hikers only and dogs are allowed on leash. Per the SDRVC, “the South Trail traverses hillsides full of low-lying coastal sage scrub and taller, denser southern mixed chaparral. Wildflowers emerge in the spring, coloring the hillsides with lilacs and other blooms.”

www.encinitasadvocate.com FROM SEAWALL, A1 oceanfront properties on the top of a steep bluff in Encinitas, brought the case. The city approved a permit in 2009 to replace their wooden seawall with a concrete structure, but a Coastal Commission permit also was required. While the commission was considering the application, a heavy storm caused the bluff below Lynch’s house to collapse. Part of the seawall and the lower portion of a stairway to the beach were destroyed. The owners applied for a new permit to destroy the old seawall and replace it and the stairs. Coastal Commission staff recommended the new seawall be approved. It was to be located eight feet inland from its previous location and would leave more room on the beach for recreation. But the staff urged the commission to reject the stairway under a policy that discourages private access stairs on the bluff. The commission approved the project without the stairway under a 20-year permit. It required the owners to apply for a new permit to

change or remove the seawall or extend its authorization before the expiration date. The owners built the seawall but went to court to challenge the denial of the stairway and the 20-year expiration date. They contended they could not have waited to build until the litigation concluded because their homes were in jeopardy. If that were the case, the owners should have obtained an emergency permit for a temporary seawall while the litigation proceeded, the court said. The owners “obtained all the benefits of their permit when they built the seawall,” Corrigan wrote. “They cannot now be heard to complain of its burdens.” Because the court ruled the owners waived their right to challenge the conditions, the justices did not decide whether they were legal. A lawyer for the homeowners said the ruling would make it more difficult and extremely costly for property owners to fight unlawful conditions by the Coastal Commission. “It is particularly bad for small property owners,"

said John Groen, executive vice president and general counsel of the Pacific Legal Foundation, a nonprofit that advocates for private property rights and represented the owners without charge. "The court has shrunk their right to move forward with projects under protest while litigation proceeds," he said. "Instead, they will be forced to put their lives and projects on hold for years while a court battle over an unlawful condition goes on. " He said the seawall was certified to last 75 years and cost $1 million. Sarah Christie, legislative director for the Coastal Commission, said the ruling reflected mainstream legal principles. “You can build your project, or you can sue, but you can’t do both,” she said. “This is a mainstream legal concept that applies far beyond the Coastal Commission.” She noted that the League of Cities and the American Planning Assn. had filed arguments in support of the state because the ruling will apply to all sorts of permits. – Maura Dolan is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

powerless, this group of community members rallied their collective voice in a public way by making signs and posting their rejection of intimidation and brutality," Blakespear said after learning about the rally. "I am impressed by this human instinct and incredibly touched that so many have circled the wagons around me. It buoys me to be supported so wholeheartedly by my community."
