Rancho Coastal Humane Society to open Wildlife Center in the fall BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Injured and sick wild squirrels and some types of birds will soon have a place to recover in North County. The Rancho Coastal Humane Society will open the San Diego Wildlife Center in the fall. The center, which will be located in an industrial part of Carlsbad on Camino Vida Robles, will provide a space for North County residents to take injured seed-eating squirrels, songbirds and shorebirds, said John Van Zante, public relations director for the Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas. The humane society has worked for several months to open the center, he said. It had to work with the state to get proper permitting and inspections. "You can't just decide to help wildlife one day and have it happen immediately," Van Zante said. "There are a lot of laws regarding wildlife. The legwork on this to get to where we are now has been quite long and quite intense." He said if someone finds an injured wild animal, they are encouraged to take

If the animal is treatable, it will get treatments and medications and stay there until it is stabilized. Once it is stabilized and recovering, the animal will be transferred to a barn at Rancho Coastal Humane Society to continue its trip

back to health until it can be released back into the wild. Van Zante said wild animals play a huge role in North County, and used to be even more prominent in the area. "This is kind of a return to our roots," he said of the importance of the Wildlife Center. "When Rancho SEE WILDLIFE, A21

Tasting room brews debate, gets approval BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Planning Commissioner Kevin Doyle listened to his colleagues' arguments on why a popular San Diego brewery shouldn't be allowed in Encinitas — an oversaturation of bars downtown and all the attendant ills that come with it. City staff, on the heels of the city’s sweeping reforms to crack down on alcohol, were urging the commission to say no. He listened to impassioned testimony from Encinitas’ powerful contingent of anti-alcohol advocates. He worried aloud about the lack of parking downtown, about the crowds that would flock to the proposed Modern Times tasting room, and tipped his hand that he’d vote against the proposal, all but sealing its fate. "I'm not happy for anybody," Doyle said. "This situation is unfortunate. This is not an easy issue to wrap our heads around. This whole issue has really torn me up." And then, his thinking turned. Fellow commissioners Greg Drakos and Al Apuzzo doubled down on their stance

that Modern Times was everything the city could want in a property owner. Doyle changed course, sending up a round of applause from one half of the packed room. "The location is a bad location for retail," Doyle said of the vacant spot at 470 South Coast Highway 101 across from the La Paloma Theater. "No one wants to go down D Street down that hill. Now, we finally have Handels Ice Cream. We're starting to bridge people to that area. [Modern Times] can be that bridge." Doyle’s change of heart swayed the Planning Commission’s 2-2 deadlock on July 20 — commissioners Bruce Ehlers and Glenn O'Grady were opposed — and gave Modern Times’ 150-seat proposal a dramatic green light. The commission heard from a packed room of residents and business owners who appeared split over the new business, which would be open seven days a week from noon to 10 p.m. and not SEE BREWERY, A21

Two men wanted for robbing Leucadia gas station BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Detectives with the San Diego County Sheriff's Department's North Coastal Station are investigating an early morning July 25 armed robbery at a Leucadia gas station. A man who identified himself as the shop owner, and asked not to be named, said at the time of the incident, around 5 a.m., his cashier was stocking in the back of the Shell gas station store, located at 865 Orpheus Avenue. Video surveillance shows one suspect patrolled with a shotgun while the other yanked the register. The cashier, hearing the noise, then came out into the otherwise empty store to discover the men. One of the men pointed the gun at the cashier and asked, "You good homeboy?" The cashier took shelter in the bathroom, the owner said. The suspects made off with the entire register that contained hundreds of dollars, the owner said. "They were in and out within 30 seconds

wanted the money. They could have stolen a lot more but they didn't. They knew exactly

what they were doing." Video surveillance shows the two men appeared in their late 20s and were fit with dark hair. One man was wearing a bandana covering his nose and mouth, while the other was wearing a full mask. The robbers had at least one gun, with either a red handle or red bandana wrapped around it, according to the Sheriff's Department. No one was injured. Video surveillance footage can be viewed at https://vimeo.com/226949851. The owner said he believed his shop, which is right off the 5 freeway, was in a safe area. However, the shop was previously targeted in another armed robbery in 2009 at a similar time. The same cashier was working the store at that time. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call 888-580-8477. Tips may be submitted anonymously, and informants may be eligible for up to a $1,000 reward for information leading to a felony arrest.

Water main break causes service interruption for some Encinitas residents BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Some Encinitas homes were left without running water for nearly 12 hours July 24 as crews worked to repair a water main break near Lone Jack Road. The Olivenhain Municipal Water District was alerted by emergency dispatch about the break of the eight-inch main line on the 3100 block of Brookside Lane at about 1:45 a.m., said Joey Randall, assistant general manager of the water district.

The valve was isolated to draw down the water pressure and minimize water loss and flows, Randall said. The 21 affected customers had their water shut off beginning at about 4:30 a.m. The water was restored about 4:15 a.m. and the water district provided each home with 2.5 gallon jugs of water, Randall said. Traffic was controlled as crews worked, and the road was open at all times, according to the water district. "Luckily, the pipeline was off to one side of the road so

He added the leak was fairly minor compared to others. "We don't like any emergency event, but relatively speaking this was on the less impactful end of the spectrum of water main leaks," Randall said.

SOUL charter school lands in Solana Beach BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District’s first charter school, the School of Universal Learning (SOUL), has finally found its home. SOUL will open for its first day of school on Aug. 29 at the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Harper Branch in Solana Beach. Securing a facility had been founders Michael Grimes and Marisa Bruyneel-Fogelman’s biggest challenge and now that one has been locked down, it is finally feeling real. “It grounded everything and made it official,” said Grimes. “When the first student walks in the door it will be a culmination of all of our life’s work,” said Bruyneel-Fogelman, a Carmel Valley resident. “I’ll be emotional. I’ve worked for that moment for a long time.” Grimes and Bruyneel-Fogelman said they believe strongly in supporting students in a positive environment and teaching to all parts of a student’s being, including social skills and personal development, and creating a connection to their passions and purpose so they are able to thrive holistically. Education at SOUL will include experience-based and project-based

All of the Common Core State Standards will be mastered and students will be assessed with MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) tests and Smarter Balanced Assessment tests like all public schools. A typical day will also include their unique “Integra” program in which students participate in a

morning meditation, a midday focus on self-development and an end-of-the-day reflection session. Together, Bruyneel-Fogelman and Grimes have been working on their vision for SOUL for the last six years. As the opening of SOUL represents a dream come true, it will be hard to keep the two educators out of the classroom. Both hope to take part in teaching life skills or entrepreneurship

classes and the plan is for one of them to be in the classroom connecting with students while one is in the office. It has been a long, six-month search to find a place for the school to call home. The San Diego County Board of Education approved the charter school in January for a two-year term and SOUL just signed the lease in Solana Beach on July 17. They had been targeting Encinitas for SOUL’s campus and ruled out several commercial locations due to lengthy permitting and zoning processes and lots of red tape. They also considered several churches, nearly every church in the district up to Carlsbad. Grimes and Bruyneel-Fogelman said that after visiting the Boys & Girls Clubs and meeting with Andrew Brosche, the chief operating officer, they found a perfect match. “He said, ‘We love kids here’ and we knew, finally, this is a go,” Grimes said. “They’re so excited for us to be there and we really couldn’t be happier.” “It’s such a beautiful partnership because we’re so aligned in our mission to serve youth,” SEE SOUL, A22

North County first responders receive threat recognition training BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY More than a dozen North County police officers, firefighters and other public safety officials gathered at the Veterans Association in Oceanside July 18 through July 20 to learn how to better protect themselves and be more aware in situations. Sentir Global — an intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and training organization — led the efforts to heighten the authorities' awareness. Lee Wakefield, CEO of Sentir Global, said this is a type of training the participants had not yet endured. It is offered for all North County first responders, including police officers, firefighters, border patrol officers and paramedics. "The reason we want first responders to have this knowledge is that in Syria, in Paris, in Brussels, in London... first responders are now becoming targets," he said. "We don't want firefighters and paramedics having tunnel vision without being able to look at a potential situation where they're going to become a victim." While he did not want to detail the lessons learned in the workshops, Wakefield said the trainings are especially important today, when people possess short attention spans and attachments to hand-held electronic devices. "We're looking at human behavior because we now have two generations of young people who have communicated with their thumbs on their phones instead of looking at human behavior and interpreting it," said Wakefield, retired in 1998 from the U.S.

BRITTANY WOOLSEY

Lee Wakefield, CEO for Sentir Global, leads a threat indicator class full of first responders on July 20 at the Veterans Association of North County in Oceanside. Marine Corps. "What we're doing is helping them look at human behavior differently than they have ever been taught before." He said individual situational awareness is "so low" that people are easily becoming

targets of thefts, attacks or not being able to observe an attack and then report accurately what occurred. He added with the recent attacks in Paris and other events, as well as advancements in

technology, those working in public safety have to be on higher alert. Nearly 40 percent of the course is live scenario-driven events and analysis of videos and photos, Wakefield said. Participants were shown videos from real-life situations in which a tragedy might have been prevented had the officer known what signs to look out for. These included indicators — following human behavior-based predictive analysis — for situations where a person would harm themselves or others around them. "You have to think like the enemy," one instructor told the crowd. Tim Pruitt, an 11-year police officer with the Oceanside Police Department, said he was grateful training like this existed. He said minimal training of this kind is offered at his department. "We touch a little on that in the academy, but the academy is just basic stuff," Pruitt said. “This is definitely informative and stuff we don't talk about regularly.” He said he was most looking forward to learning cues that could signal potential trouble or dishonesty. Wakefield said Sentir Global is also planning to host similar workshops on threat recognition and situational awareness for local school districts and the general public this fall. More first responder trainings in North County will take place quarterly, Wakefield said. Those interested in more information can visit sentirglobalus.com or email Wakefield at lee@sentir.us.

Q&A with SDA grad and musical wunderkind BY SEBASTIAN MONTES hat if Kraftwerk had grown up sneaking around Del Mar’s choicest skate spots instead of fantasizing about the autobahn in 1970s Germany? Aaron M. Olson didn’t set out with such lofty aims, but the likeness is clear as the Del Mar native plays composer and frontman to L.A. Takedown, his seven-piece band building a name on the indie rock circuit on the strength of a well-received second album. Olson, a 2003 graduate of San Dieguito High School Academy, studied classical music history and theory at San Francisco State University before settling into the Los Angeles music scene. In 2015 he put out L.A. Takedown’s debut album, a single, sprawling 42-minute track that the L.A. Times contemplated as a new soundtrack for the city of angels. Olson then gathered together friends, including his older brother, and turned L.A. Takedown into a fully fleshed band churning out cinematic post-rock that never strays too far from Olson’s pop sensibilities. L.A. Takedown’s second album II (pronounced “dos”) dropped on May 10, drawing accolades from the likes of Noisey and NPR, and carried the band into a tour this spring that included an emotional stop at the Casbah in Little Italy. Having now settled back into his L.A. life — with an oh-so-apt gig at the Silver Lake Library — Olson took time to reminisce about his first

awkward shows at Del Mar Hills Elementary School, the subliminal influence of concerts at Powerhouse Park, the Del Mar Fairgrounds’ surprisingly hip acts, and how an hours-long walk to Black’s Beach became, 15 years later, the namesake inspiration for his band’s latest video. The conversation below has been edited for length and clarity. You started L.A. Takedown as a project to score a friend’s short films. The name comes from a 1989 movie by Michael Mann. Your songs are cinematic, instrumental compositions. Is that cinematic feel the essence of what you’re trying to do? Olson: What I’m really trying to do is to make music that I would enjoy listening to, and it just so happens that I enjoy film scores. So I guess my goal is to make music with that feeling of a film score but that also infuses elements of a three-minute pop song. Because I really am a big fan of pop music, from the Beatles to things like Tears for Fears. I’m trying to do things with instrumental music that can work those elements into it. I just love instrumental music. Growing up in Del Mar in the late ’90s and early 2000s, in the circles I ran in, everyone was really into Tortoise and all those Thrill Jockey and Drag City records, so I grew up with that ingrained in me. Did you have formative musical experiences at Del Mar Hills Elementary School? Olson: I had a band in elementary school. We would practice at our drummer’s house; he

lived just north of the Del Mar Plaza. We played at a couple assemblies. It was just whatever songs we happened to be able to figure out. I remember playing some probably pretty bad versions of Jimi Hendrix. I remember playing “Hey Mickey” — I have no idea why. This is 5th and 6th grade, so we were just figuring out our tastes, I guess. You went on to San Dieguito High School Academy. Do you remember your music teachers there? Was there someone who had a big influence on you? Olson: The two things that I did as a kid were music and skateboarding. They would kind of waver on which would be more at the forefront. Once I got to high school, I started meeting more musicians, and all the music

classes offered at San Dieguito were a big thing for me. When I started we had Dr. Van Decker. He provided a lot of resources. He brought in a recording arts class; he also started a MIDI class. Those were pretty big for me, to be able to spend two hours a day sitting in recording arts class or working on computer music. With a MIDI I could make impossible music — just the fastest, unending runs and scales, polyrhythmic stuff that I couldn’t play on my own. I think, in turn, that got me into Philip Glass and Tangerine Dream and things influenced by minimalism. Those were things that weren’t available at many high schools, for sure. Did you know then that you wanted to make SEE AAROM OLSON, A22

CCA graduate named Bank of America Student Leader BY KAREN BILLING This summer over 200 standout high schools students were selected to participate in the Bank of America Student Leaders program. The program offers high school students who are engaged community citizens the opportunity to build their workforce and leadership skills through a paid summer internship at a local nonprofit, as well as attend a national leadership summit in Washington, D.C. Five students from San Diego were selected, including Alexander Zhang, a recent graduate of Canyon Crest Academy who will attend Columbia University in the fall. “Through Student Leaders, we’re building pathways to success for young adults in the region and giving voice to the next generation, who will help develop a more diverse and inclusive society,” said Rick Bregman, San Diego market president of Bank of America. “By engaging young people in meaningful and relevant work experiences that helps build resumes and manage paychecks, we can help advancing economic mobility.” Zhang and the rest of the students from San Diego were given a paid internship at 2-1-1 San Diego, a resource and information hub that connects people with community, health and disaster services. “We are thrilled to partner with Bank

of America in the Student Leaders program,” said John Ohanian, 2-1-1 San Diego president and COO. “These extraordinary high school students bring their passion for leadership to 2-1-1, helping us increase our impact while leveraging their distinct skills.” Zhang was one of 200 San Diego students to apply for the Student Leaders program. “I was looking for something to do this summer as last summer I worked in a lab and I wanted to keep my options open,” said Zhang. He was drawn to the Bank of America program for its community service aspect, as in his sophomore year, Zhang founded the Music Outreach Club, bringing classical music performances to nursing homes, hospitals and community events. In addition to his talents on the bassoon and piano, Zhang is also very science-minded and is proud of two research projects he has been involved with while at Canyon Crest Academy. Two years ago after his grandmother became ill with a blood disease, possibly myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), he wanted to learn more about the disease and contacted Dr. John Che, a local bioinformatics professor at UC San Diego. “Since then, we've developed a classification system using MDS patient data that could be used for personalized

treatment, possibly improving the diagnostic rate from the current 50 percent to 80 percent, or even higher,” said Zhang, who was able to present the study as first author at the American Association of Clinical Chemistry’s international scientific conference in Philadelphia last August.

Last summer, Zhang was selected as a full-time intern at The Scripps Research Institute, sponsored by the Life Sciences Summer Institute. He spent seven weeks focused on developing a vaccine for Dengue fever. He was invited to present his findings at several regional conferences. After visiting family in China this summer, Zhang has been at the 2-1-1 internship for the last two weeks. The interns’ project for the summer is to create a youth ambassador program, targeting youth in the community to make them more aware of the services 2-1-1 provides as well as create volunteer activities for students. “We hope to target the special needs of students at each school and emphasize how 2-1-1 can help alleviate some of those problems,” Zhang said. At 2-1-1, he has seen how a nonprofit runs from top to bottom, which he says will help him at Columbia University where he hopes to continue his community service efforts with Music Outreach. On July 9-14, Zhang traveled to Washington, D.C. for the Bank of America’s Student Leadership Summit along with the leaders from across the country. They were able to attend multiple seminars with a variety of speakers, including Barbara Bush, the co-founder of the Global Health Corps. SEE BOA, A22

Lytle helps San Dieguito Synchro swim club shine at Junior Olympics BY GIDEON RUBIN Grace Lytle is gaining national recognition in a sport few in northern San Diego County know much about. When she brings it up, the typical response is “I didn’t even know that was a thing out here,” Lytle said. Synchronized swimming is very much a thing out here. Lytle is among 40 or so members of a local club team that’s literally venturing into unchartered waters. San Dieguito Synchro swim club sent 16 northern San Diego County athletes to this year’s Junior Olympics, all of whom made the finals for the first time in club history. Danielle Coggburn took over the Northern San Diego County’s club six years ago. The club was founded in 2004. Lytle, who’ll be a freshman at Canyon Crest Academy this fall, and Olivia Dalry (Cathedral Catholic High School) placed 11th in the intensely competitive 13-to 15-year-olds duets competition. Sixteen-to 17-year-old duets Samantha Whitley and Mari

Burigana (La Costa Canyon) placed 10th. Lytle and Dalry were among five local athletes who were part of a 15-to-19-year-old combo team that placed eighth. Phoebe and Lily Kreps (both of San Dieguito Academy) and Joanne Wang (Santa Fe Christian) were the other members of the team. Rose Bonhome and Kylie Hayasse (both of CCA) and Jamie Xiao, (Santa Fe Christian) were part of a 16-and 17-year-old team that placed 10th. Alexandra Suarez left Cathedral Catholic after her junior year to train with the Team USA in Moraga (Contra Costa County). Suarez and Lytle are among three club members who were invited to compete with the national team. Lytle is the club’s youngest swimmer and has tremendous upside, Coggburn said. “She’s the youngest girl on the team but she’s the hardest working and I would say one of my top kids.” Coggburn said. Lytle credits the club with bringing the sport to an area that

Synchronized swimmer Grace Lytle until relatively recently offered athletes no outlets. The only other club in San Diego County is in Chula Vista. “If I wasn’t in my club,” she said, “I would’ve never found this sport.” Coggburn said she’s committed to helping local residents find the sport. Coggburn was once a rising star.

She was training with Team USA in Santa Clara when she suffered a career-ending shoulder injury. She moved to the San Diego to complete her education, earning a master’s degree in special education at San Diego State University. But she could never shake her love for a sport she started competing in when she was 10

growing up in Seattle. “I think it’s a such a unique sport, people really don’t really know much about it,” Coggburn said. “It’s kind of like one of the things that you see in the Olympics every four years maybe. It’s a niche sport.” Lytle started synchronized swimming when she was 6. She SEE SWIMMER, A17

Denmark’s ‘Queen of Crime’ author includes San Diego in her upcoming novel BY LOIS ALTER MARK he’s known as Denmark’s “Queen of Crime,” but author Sara Blaedel is likely to expand her reign locally with the upcoming American release of her entire Inspector Louise Rick catalog along with a brand new trilogy set in the United States. In fact, in “The Running Girl,” which will be published in January, Louise’s best friend, journalist Camilla Lind, drives down to San Diego in a scene inspired by Blaedel’s own experience. “I did a three-month road trip in the U.S. with my son back in 2008,” she explained. “We ended the tour in San Diego on the night President Obama was elected. So many people included us in their happiness and celebration, and I totally fell in love with the city.” Blaedel stayed downtown in the Gaslamp, where she spent a lot of time walking around, exploring and taking notes for possible future books. “The feeling there reminded me of the old part of Copenhagen,” she remembered. “It was so cozy, and I have tons of great memories from our stay. When we left, I had a strong feeling that I wanted to come back.” While she plans a book tour that she hopes will bring her back to San Diego and give her a chance to walk along the beach in Del Mar, many of her local readers are considering trips to Denmark to see why the Danish people are considered the happiest people in the world and to walk in the footsteps of Inspector Louise Rick. “Louise lives in my old apartment on Frederiksberg in Copenhagen,” said Blaedel. “I moved out a couple of years before I started writing the first book, and I handed it over to

Sara Blaedel and Grand Chef Per Hallundbaek. her. She lives on the fifth floor, and I know exactly how it feels for her to carry up all her grocery bags, what the view from her window looks like, who her neighbors are. It really brings her to life for me because I am totally with her.” Fans can see Louise’s apartment from the street while they tour her neighborhood, stopping at the small shops and cafes for a kringle, a delicious Danish pastry, or a signature open-faced sandwich called smorrebrod. They can also easily check out the “dark side” of Copenhagen, which is featured in Blaedel’s book “The Night Woman.” “It’s actually only a few streets in the part of town named Vesterbro and it’s not scary at all,”

ctory

she said. “It used to be known for prostitution and drug dealers but it’s now one of the hippest areas. I find the mix of people fascinating.” Blaedel also recommends a drive to Roskilde, a beautiful old town where many royals are buried and where “The Killing Forest” and “The Stolen Angel” are set. But to really get a sense of “hygge,” the philosophy of coziness by which the Danish live their lives and which has recently become a trendy goal for Americans, you have to follow in the footsteps of the author herself. According to Blaedel, that means heading to Hornbaek, the small fishing village where she has her summer house. That’s where she writes her books and gathers for intimate dinners with friends. Although most visitors spend their vacation in Copenhagen, seeing traditional sights like Tivoli Gardens, the canal along Nyhavn and the Little Mermaid statue, Blaedel recommends also making time to get out of the city and explore other parts of Denmark. One of her favorite places is Falsled Kro, a luxury country retreat on Fyn. She’s been going there since she was a little girl, and it’s the epitome of hygge. “When you drive on Fyn, it feels like you’ve turned back time,” she said. “It’s so beautiful and unspoiled, and I love the landscape and the views over the water.” She also suggests a stay at Kurhotel Skodsborg, the leading Nordic hotel spa, where the focus is on wellness and pampering. This world class spa features more than a dozen different cooling and warming experiences, including the classic SaunaGus – aromatherapy in the sauna followed by a brisk dip in the ocean. The SaunaGus is a staple for Blaedel, even in

the winter. She then wraps herself in a blanket and makes herself at home by the fireplace in the living room-like library which bears her name. “I was so honored when they named the room after me!” she said. “I always look forward to giving readings in that room. It’s very comforting to be surrounded by all that warmth when I’m telling dark stories.” Blaedel also suggests driving all the way up north to Skagen, an artist’s paradise where the sun shines for more hours a day than anywhere in the country. “It’s a five-hour drive from Copenhagen, and that is almost what it takes to cross all of Denmark,” she said. “But it’s definitely worth it. “And,” she adds, “if you have time, drive to Jylland. There are so many wonderful places to see like Aarhus and the west coast. Oh, and sail to Bornholm, a small island located between Denmark and Sweden. It’s totally different from the rest of the country, and it’s a must-see.” Although Blaedel still returns to her summer house frequently, she now lives in New York City. Her first book set in the United States, “The Undertaker’s Daughter,” takes place in Racine, Wisconsin, which has a large population of Danish immigrants. “I am always interested in seeing America through a Danish woman’s eyes,” said Blaedel, who won The Golden Laurel, Denmark’s most prestigious literary prize. “I’ve been on several book tours across the country and I like to imagine what it would feel like for me to settle in different cities.” Maybe San Diego will be next.

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - JULY 28, 2017 - PAGE A9

Female scientists share their breakthroughs at Salk lecture BY WILL BOWEN A full house of 300 or so (mostly women and mostly over age 30), sat in rapt attention straining to understand the panel of enthusiastic medical scientists who spoke at the “Women Innovators in Human Health: From Bench to Beside” conference July 11 in the Prebys Auditorium of the Salk Institute in La Jolla. “This lecture series started back in 2012 with just 30 people,” beamed Lisa Cashman, Salk Institute program developer. “We kept at it and now we have over 300 people here today. I’d say that’s quite a success story!” The host for the event was Rafaele Tordjiman, M.D., Ph.D., founder and chair of WITH (Women Innovating Together in Healthcare). Tordjiman said she was educated in clinical hematology and internal medicine in the hospitals of Paris, France. In 2001, she moved to the United States to take a position with Sofinnova Partners as a special adviser. “WITH is a network of accomplished women who have talent in industry, medicine, research, charity and finance,” Tordjiman explained. “The organization was established to inspire and support women working in the life sciences so they can reach their full potential and deliver innovative healthcare solutions for the benefit of patients worldwide.” Carol Gallagher, a doctor of Pharmacology with the venture capital firm of New Enterprise Associates, introduced each of the three lectures that comprised the conference. Gallagher described herself as an entrepreneur, investor and operator with more than 25 years of experience in commercial drug development, working with both large and small pharmaceutical companies. The first talk of the afternoon, titled “Discover, Innovation and Translation” was given by Michelle Booden, Ph.D., senior director in the Office of Technological Development at Salk. Booden explained the long and winding road of how basic medical research gets transformed into useable products that are then brought to the market for sale to the public. Booden said the key to successful drug development was, “sell the problem not the product.” The next speaker was Razelle Kurzrock, M.D., who discussed “Bringing precision medicine to patients.” Kurzrock is the director for the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy at UC San Diego’s Moores Cancer Center. Kurzrock said that she and her team design personalized strategies for treating patients with cancer. Rather than focusing on just giving patients a specific cancer drug, they try to create the best strategy of intervention using a customized combination of anti-cancer and immune-stimulating medicines. “We try to develop and test a strategy not a drug,” she said. To achieve this end, her team develops a comprehensive understanding of a patient, including a genetic profile. “We want to move from being drug-centric to being patient-centric,” she explained. “There are 300 different cancer drugs, meaning there are 45,000 possible ways to combine any two of these

Next up in the ‘Women in Science’ series ■ ‘Design and Discovery Fashion Showcase,’ 5:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 4, at the Salk Institute, 10010 North Torrey Pines Road. This promises to be a fun collaboration between Salk researchers and students from the Mesa College Design Program. The students will create and model fashions based on Salk science. Reserve a seat by contacting Betsy Collins at (858) 500-4883 or becollins@salk.edu 300 drugs and 4.5 million possible combinations of any three drugs. My job is to find the best combination.” Kurzrock says her patient-centered approach is necessary because “every tumor is unique ... every cancer can be thought of as a one-of-a-kind malignant snowflake. Basically, our goal is not so much to kill the cancer with a drug, but rather to get the patient’s own immune system working again so it can fight off the cancer as it is meant to do.” The final talk of the day was a joint venture involving Sheila Gujrathi, M.D., and Esther Martinborough, Ph.D. They took turns explaining the development of the drug Ozanimod, which is used to treat Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Gujrathi is a physician executive, who worked for the company, Receptos, as its Chief Medical Officer from 2011 to 2015. She is currently an independent board director at Five Prime Therapeutics. Martinborough, who was educated at the Swiss Institute of Technology in Zurich, is the executive director of research at Receptos. They explained that MS is an autoimmune disorder, in which the body attacks itself. In this case, the immune system attacks the myelin sheath, which covers the nerves. Although there is no cure for MS, the drug Ozanimod reduces the symptoms by up 86 percent and has fewer side effects than its predecessor, a drug called Fingolimod, they said. The doctors also discovered that Ozanimod is helpful in the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s Disease. After the presentations all adjourned for a reception with refreshments. Larry Greenfield, M.D., a retired radiologist who used to work at St. Jude’s Hospital in Los Angeles, and his wife Carol, were in attendance at the conference. They said they started coming to the “Women in Science” series in 2013 and have been so impressed with the researchers that they decided to help support them. Also at the reception was JoLynn Clark, a registered nurse who works in the Medical Imaging at UC San Diego Health Care. Clark said she frequently attends Salk events because “the talks are always fabulous and have the latest information to help you make the best decisions about your health care. I highly recommend these events.”

Electrifying Guitars

Book to reveal the secret life of guitar creator Leo Fender BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN There are many people who claim the title “inventor of the electric guitar,” but perhaps the one whose name has percolated the most on the local, national and international level is Leo Fender. Now his wife Phyllis Fender and Randall Bell, the son of one of his employees, are publishing a book to shed some light on the myths that chased the man throughout his life and beyond. “Everybody who was aware of Leo thought of him as this silent man, who all he did was work,” Phyllis began, “which in a way was true, he was a workaholic, but when he married me, he became a husband, a stepfather, a grandfather, a son in law, an uncle … he was surrounded by people. And these people he just loved.” Phyllis said Leo had never been around babies in his life before their partnership started in the late 1970s. “He was astounded at children, and we had such happy time. (During family meetings) he was always talking and laughing, and I wanted the world to know that inside this silent giant, there was a man who appreciated family, dinners, playing and watching the kids swimming in the pool.” Though the book “Leo Fender: The Quiet Giant Heard Around the World,” will be released Nov. 1, hardcover copies are available for pre-order at amzn.to/2pyi34i “I can hardly wait to see it on the market,” Phyllis said. Randall’s father worked for Fender, and he grew up close to the guitar creator’s work. “I

Randall Bell and Phyllis Fender grew up with all things Fender, my parents’ kitchen table was made by Stratocaster wood, and my dad introduced me to every person at the factory!” he said. The making of the book happened at a pie shop near where Bell’s parents and the Fenders lived. “I would take out my smartphone and ask Mrs. Fender questions and she kept me fascinated with the answers … I did some research but that’s how the book came together,” he explained. The plot is, essentially, about Leo, Phyllis

‘Leo Fender: The Quiet Giant Heard Around the World’ will be released Nov. 1. said, “Every page has a piece of Leo on it.” Bell elaborated, “It starts with the day he was born, goes to the chronology of how he invented the electric guitar, and it ends with his passing away in the Fender home. There are stories that make you laugh hysterically, others make you cry … he was an interesting guy who

never took himself very seriously.” One of the key stories in Leo’s life is how he designed and built electric guitars that would eventually become the widely used Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster. “At the time he thought about making guitars, he had a radio shop downtown where he repaired anything electrical,” Phyllis said. “This was during World War II when the communities around here had ‘war bond’ dances. Some people asked Leo to put something up with amplifiers so they could have a dance and set it up for the band, which he did. But one time, as he was finishing his work, he decided to sit by the band and listen to them. Watching the band, he observed some guitar players playing like crazy, but he couldn’t hear anything, he couldn’t hear them over the horns, drums and bass. That touched his heart and immediately, the next day, he got a piece of wood out and started designing what would eventually become the Stratocaster and Telecaster.” Bell added, “There were the standard acoustic guitars people were trying to amplify, but it wasn’t working very well. Leo got the idea and put a pickup on a solid body guitar, when you think of guitars today, you think of the solid bodies … this was far more functional than trying to electrify the acoustic guitar.” When asked what Leo might think about the new book, Phyllis replied, “He would be surprised and he would say ‘that’s not about me, none of this has ever been about me, it’s only been about the instruments.’ ”

Pacific Ridge team bridges borders to host basketball clinic

COURTESY

Pacific Ridge School students in Rosarito Beach, Mexico, where they hosted basketball clinics and scrimmages with local children and youth league players.

Solana Beach Storage

Pacific Ridge School students know that sports have the ability to transcend language barriers and borders. They recently spent three days in Rosarito Beach, Mexico, hosting basketball clinics and scrimmages with local children and youth league players, according to a press release. Six players from the Pacific Ridge boys varsity basketball team went to Rosarito on Monday, July 17, to teach lessons at youth camps in the area. About 70 kindergarten-aged children lit up when coached by the older students, learning basic skills such as dribbling and shooting. The group is working with Mexico-based nonprofit Responsibility, which provides schooling and summer programs for children living near the Tijuana municipal dumps. The children are

learning English so the basketball lessons give them a valuable opportunity to practice their language skills. The Pacific Ridge players served as coaches and coordinators, spending each morning teaching campers basketball basics and hosting fun games like relay races. The Pacific Ridge team spent its afternoons in spirited competition playing against local youth basketball clubs. Pacific Ridge Basketball Coach Chris Burman called the games highly competitive. “There have been some really close games. It’s great for our players to spend time together and try something that’s totally unique,” he said. In addition to giving the team a chance to practice basketball over the summer, the trip gives students the opportunity to connect with

communities in a different country. Coach Burman, who is also a Spanish teacher at Pacific Ridge, was able to connect with youth basketball leaders in the community thanks to his ties to the area. Many teachers at Pacific Ridge utilize connections all over the world to help students expand their global outlook each year. The youth basketball camp isn’t the first time the Firebirds have jumped into team service work. Each year, the basketball team volunteers at Carlsbad’s La Posada de Guadalupe homeless shelter. In the winter, they provide a meal and partner with other Pacific Ridge School service learning groups to put on a performance. This is the second year the basketball team hosted basketball clinics in Mexico.

The Curious Fork gluten-free restaurant and bakery features healthy fare and cooking techniques BY KELLEY CARLSON For people seeking a taste of the gluten-free lifestyle, The Curious Fork can help satisfy that craving. The restaurant and bakery has been promoting healthy fare and cooking techniques to Solana Beach and nearby communities since 2014. “I believe to experience (life), you need to continue to learn and you have to remain curious,” owner Barbara McQuiston said about the philosophy behind the Barbara establishment’s moniker. McQuiston exemplifies that McQuiston idea, as she left a 35-year career in the defense and aerospace industry to explore her passion for food. She attended the San Diego Culinary Institute, interned at L’Auberge in Del Mar, and invested her life savings to start The Curious Fork. Because McQuiston is affected by celiac disease – a digestive and autoimmune disorder – it was natural for her to focus on gluten-free fare and beverages.

She describes her menu as a “unique selection.” Breakfast is served all day in the restaurant, and consists of items such as Chicken and Waffles and the Classic Breakfast – two eggs with chives, hash browns, toasted English muffin and a choice of bacon, ham, chicken sausage or avocado. For lunch, there are soups, salads and sandwiches. Crowd favorites include the Carnitas Cuban Sandwich (slow-cooked pork butt, ham, Swiss, dill pickles, aioli and dijon) and the Turkey Avo Sandwich with tomato, lettuce, provolone, aioli and dijon, both served on baguettes. There’s also a bakery area that houses a range of treats – from pies to quinoa loafs and challa – and customers can order items such as cakes and breads. Baked goods from The Curious Fork are also sold at Seaside Market and Harvest Ranch Markets, and “we hope to be in Jimbo’s very soon,” McQuiston said. She is currently in talks with other grocery chains. Catering is available, as well – patrons can select trays or make reservations for parties in the restaurant. Additionally, people can sign up for farmers market box pickups from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

From sea to splashing sea.

Cooking classes are held weekday evenings and weekends at The Curious Fork. Fridays. The boxes – from Garden of Eden Organics – contain everything from vegetables and grains to citrus and herbs. “Everything is locally grown and harvested,” McQuiston said. One Thursday a month, she teaches a one-hour class that uses all the ingredients from one of these boxes, and the contents vary – she doesn’t know what she’s working with until the night before or the morning of the class. “It’s very much a surprise class,” she said with a laugh. Those who participate in the Garden of Eden Organics farmers market box pickup can also pick up their box Thursday night at the class. McQuiston and her staff present other cooking classes, as well, and topics range from vegan and seasonal to family offerings. Even children can get in on the action, with themed events such as Cupcake Wars and Harry Potter. “Kids really get into cooking now, which is great,” McQuiston said. “It’s wonderful to see the

kids all excited. I love teaching them different things and showing them how to eat healthy.” The classes average about two hours, held on weekday evenings and weekends, and the cost usually falls between $30 and $60 per class. Some of them are hands-on, and others are demonstrations. “But at all of them, you get to eat and enjoy the food,” McQuiston noted. The class calendar is available at www.thecuriousfork.com/collections/classes. To further aid with food preparation, The Curious Fork sells cookbooks, and there are fair trade items available for purchase that are “fun, artistic and beautiful,” McQuiston touted. Meanwhile, she is making plans for the future, such as the launch of wine tastings and small plates. The Curious Fork – at 512 Via de la Valle, Suite 102, in Solana Beach – is open from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

Encinitas signs off on conservatory project at Botanic Garden The Dickinson Family Education Conservatory project at San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas has taken a huge step forward. Final permitting was recently obtained by the Garden from the City of Encinitas for the 8,232-square-foot facility set in the nationally-acclaimed Hamilton Children’s Garden. Now that permitting has been granted, it paves the way for the greenhouse-like structure designed by Deforche/Green House Works to be erected. This unique building, that is being created and shipped overseas from Belgium, is scheduled to be delivered to the Garden this September. Among the unique plants being acquired for the Conservatory are two species of Anthuriums considered to be royalty of the plant kingdom and often referred to as the King and Queen of this family of plants that are emblematic of the tropical forest canopy. The Garden expects to receive several specimens of both the King and Queen Anthuriums along with eight other species of rare plants cultivated and shipped from Ecuador later this month. These rare plants from Ecuador, and literally hundreds of other species, are being acquired from botanic gardens across the United States to adorn the Conservatory’s 14-foot diameter “plant chandeliers” creating suspended islands of exotic plants that will be reminiscent of the of the floating islands in the movie “Avatar.” “These lovely hanging gardens will be suspended from the ceiling of this new event/visitor space,” said Julian Duval, SDBG president & CEO. “The structures for the plant chandeliers were created out of natural trunks and branches of drought-stricken catalpa trees harvested from Dehesa road in Campo – just ½ mile east of Sycuan Casino. These catalpa tree limbs and trunks were supplied by the Garden to Weldon Exhibits, the company that engineered these one-of-a-kind structures from the Bay Area. Two weeks ago, the completed plant chandeliers were delivered to the Garden, where they were placed in Greenhouse 8 at Leichtag

Commons. Greenhouse 8 provides us with an environment conducive to begin growing tropical plants on them. “The Dickinson Family Education Conservatory will serve as a community meeting space where people of all ages can connect with plants and nature, fulfilling the mission of the Garden,” added Duval. “At the same time it will provide a truly magical space, an awesome visitor experience certain to inspire the care needed to preserve these unique plants and their environment.” When completed, the Conservatory will consist of: • A multi-purpose Main Hall: • Featuring tropical “plant chandeliers” that span 14 feet that can be raised to form a canopy or lowered for eye-level viewing. •Six large fixed hanging islands of unique plants. •A 37 ft by 14.5 ft planted green wall and 3 planted movable walls by Sage Vertical Gardens out of Chicago •Elegant glass and metal design by Deforce/Green House Works out of Belgium •Open floor space to accommodate auditorium seating for up to 350 Complete with state-of-the-art audio/video equipment •A demonstration and catering kitchen: • Hosting cooking and educational classes, many geared toward children to encourage healthy eating habits and educate them on where their food comes from • For farm-to-table, weddings, and other special events • An outdoor Amphitheater: •With seating for 265 guests • Complete with a 2,000-sq.-ft. patio area and outdoor lighting • The Conservatory was designed with three distinct purposes in mind to: • Grow Education – Sharing knowledge and experiences of the natural world • Grow Engagement – Connecting our community members with nature • Grow Conservation – Building stewardship and respect for the environment For more information, visit sdbg.org. — Submitted news release

Local athlete Chris White headed to Junior Olympics

Chris White is heading to the USA Track and Field Junior Olympics in Lawrence, Kansas. Chris, who is an incoming sophomore at The Grauer School, recently took first place in the javelin for 15/16-year-old boys at the USATF Region 15 Qualifier meet in Escondido, where he competed with the best athletes in track and field from Hawaii, Nevada, San Diego and Southern California. His throw of 45.81 meters qualifies him to throw at the Junior Olympics against the best throwers in the nation. Chris has been throwing the javelin since he was introduced to the sport in elementary school at a Track and Field Camp held each summer by Del Mar Union School District PE teacher Ian Philip. While javelin is not a sport in high school in Southern California, Chris has found throwing opportunities through local track clubs. Chris recently won the javelin throw for 15/16-year-old boys at the California State Games with his best throw of the season (46.38 meters), as well as the AAU Region 23 meet held in late June. This will be Chris’s fourth trip to the Olympics throwing the javelin.

prides herself for taking on an ambassadorship role. “I’ve always felt a lot of pride in my sport because it really isn’t something you see all over the place,” Lytle said. “People see it in the Olympics and they see it as a pretty sport and they’re like ‘Oh maybe it shouldn’t really be considered a sport,’ but I want people see the effort and the amount of training that we go through.” The training synchronized swimmers do to excel at their sport includes ballet, palates, stretching and strength training. “There’s so much that goes on behind the scenes that you don’t see,” Lytle said. “I want people to know that we work really, really hard.”

Lytle also works really hard on the mental side of her craft. She believes calming down her nerves before competitions is at least as tough as the physical part of competing. “I feel that because I’m surrounded by my friends, people who’ve been in my life that I feel like I can lean on, that helps, but I definitely do get really, really nervous for competitions, Lytle said. “It’s stressful for sure.” When that doesn’t work, she turns to her Plan B. She recently went to a camp where coaches encouraged swimmers to manage their anxiety by going into “robot mode.” “It’s like, if you feel like you can’t do it, you just have to switch onto this mode

where you know what you have to do and you just perform the way you’ve been training,” Lytle said. She’ll have to turn to her human instincts, however, balancing the competing demands of her sport, academics and other endeavors. “It can get quite stressful at times,” Lytle said, “but I feel that because I was brought in at such a young age and I’ve sort of grown up with it, I’ve learned to balance my schedule. “I’m an early riser so I get stuff done in the morning before school and then I come home and I do my homework, but it’ll be different in high school because I’ll have more work.” For more information, visit sdsynchro.org

San Diego’s coastal real estate market booming The current market is seeing ideal conditions for sellers, including high prices, low interest rates, lower inventory and multiple offers on desirable properties that often help pull in more than asking price. There is no indication that the new high sales and average prices in San Diego beach communities are due to seasonal factors, rather values are climbing because of tight supply and high buyer demand for coastal living. Homeowners and sellers should be pleased to know that year-over-year average sale prices from June 2016 to June 2017 increased in the double digits in many communities, including Carlsbad (92008), Solana Beach (92075), Oceanside (92056) and Encinitas (92024), according to MLS data. As long as San Diego coastal communities continue to see limited inventories and high demand of buyers seeking the area’s famous lifestyle, it’s likely that even current record real estate values will increase in the near future. It’s an opportune time for motivated sellers who want

FROM BREWERY, A1 serve food. (Patrons are welcome to bring their own food.) The establishment would also allow the off-site sales of growlers and cans of beer. Peak hours would be from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. after nearby businesses close, said Modern Times CEO Jacob McKean. He said the brewery — which also has locations in North Park and Point Loma — has a proven track record of encouraging customers and employees to come by mass transit. The building also has four parking spaces behind it. McKean said this will help free up street parking and prevent intoxicated driving. He added the brewery has never had any complaints at the North Park location in a mixed-use building, does not allow minors, and discourages party buses. The brewery also vocally supported a deemed approved ordinance (DAO) that Encinitas passed in April, which will allow the city to enforce nuisance codes, according to uniform standards across the city, he said. "We welcome a regulation that ensures we're a positive presence in the community," McKean said. "If responsible owners like us are not allowed to open, that shows there is a defacto moratorium for new licenses." Commissioners Greg Drakos and Al Apuzzo agreed. Drakos said the city should not discourage new businesses from coming in because of "bad actors."

FROM WILDLIFE, A1 Coastal opened in 1960, there was a dirt path behind the shelter we now know as the I-5 Freeway. There would be all these foxes, sea lions, raccoons, possums, skunks and other animals in the area. So, when the shelter started there was a lot of wildlife in this area."

to put their home on the market, particularly those who have been waiting years for a rebound. All markers in the industry have aligned making the current real estate market one that sellers can be confident in.

"Evolution will root out the bad businesses over time," he said. "We should take advantage of these great businesses that want to be in our town." Apuzzo added that because of the DAO, if the city would deny Modern Times, it would give the impression that Encinitas has a moratorium on liquor licenses downtown. In April, Encinitas passed a wide-ranging package of reforms including: Alcohol service to stop at 10 p.m. for new businesses along the coastal corridor, with possible later cutoffs once they prove their good behavior; establish a noise ordinance downtown and update the standards elsewhere; stiffer fines for code violations; and measures to curb party buses and the long lines of patrons waiting to get into bars. McKean estimated Modern Times would bring tax revenue in the “low six figures” for the city. But O'Grady and fellow commissioner Bruce Ehlers said they believed Modern Times would bring in more people in an already over-saturated downtown. Staff said there is a total of 38 alcohol establishments on Coast Highway 101 between Encinitas Boulevard and K Street. Ehlers also added that the sheriff's department has seen an increase in complaints at alcohol-serving establishments downtown. Nearby residents and business owners also believed Modern Times would not be a good neighbor.

"I don't want our town to become like Las Vegas," said Carol Main, a 46-year resident of Leucadia. "The sole purpose to enjoy beer is not my vision of this town." McKean said alcohol-serving establishments should not be lumped together. "Craft beer is not the enemy here," he said. "Irresponsible license holders are the ones creating these complaints today." Drakos agreed, making the motion to go against staff's recommendation for denial, with Apuzzo and Doyle following suit. Modern Times will appear before the planning commission again later this year for approval of conditions. In an email following the vote, McKean considered the meeting “an emotional rollercoaster.” “We’re very happy that the commission understood that we share the city’s values, and that our presence will be a benefit to downtown,” he said. “The opponents of our application expressed dissatisfaction with the behavior of some licensees downtown — a sentiment we share — but they were not able to offer a plan for changing it. The argument that won the day for us is that letting high-quality, responsible operators like us open downtown is the only way to begin changing the culture and reputation of the area's nightlife.” Union-Tribune Community Press reporter Sebastian Montes contributed to this report.

As Encinitas grew, the majority of the animals migrated east, but some animals still linger around the city, he noted. It is important to note that animals don't live in the humans' community; the humans live in theirs, Van Zante said. "In Coastal North County, there is a lot of wildlife," he said. "Anywhere you are in San Diego County, you are surrounded by

wildlife. What we want to do is make it so people in this part of the county — who find sick or injured wildlife — have a place to go where it's closer and easier for them to take action. Every animal deserves a tomorrow." For more information about the Wildlife Center and to donate, visit sdpets.org.

FROM BOA, A6 The seminars focused on issues of politics, social work and nonprofits, and the leaders also had the opportunity to visit local representatives on Capitol Hill. The San Diego group was able to speak with Congresswoman Susan Davis from the 53rd congressional district. “I really enjoyed Congresswoman Davis. She asked a lot of questions about college and higher education for students,” Zhang said. “She really took the time to listen to us and what we thought.” Zhang said it was very meaningful to meet his fellow student leaders, all from very different backgrounds but all sharing a similar mindset of being passionate about helping their communities. “Being in San Diego, I feel sheltered from a lot of the problems others face and like I’m living in a bubble,” Zhang said. “I found that people

FROM OLSON, A4 music professionally? Olson: I didn’t admit it to myself but I knew that I loved to make music. I had a band in high school. It was instrumental. We really just played at our battle of the bands. This was at the turn of the 2000s; I was just a teenage kid heading down to Che Cafe at UCSD, where underground bands passing through San Diego would play — you would see Pinback play there when they were starting out. I was never old enough for Belly Up when I lived there. Same for Casbah. Playing the Casbah [on L.A. Takedown’s recent tour] was kind of kind of like a mini-dream come true, because that’s where all the cool bands would play that I could never go see. The cover art for the new album is a painting by your dad, of two fingers holding a white pill. The image resurfaces in one of your videos. What’s the story behind that? Olson: He painted it in 1975, before I was born. It just lived in our house forever. It was 4 feet by 4 feet, this huge painting that I never even questioned. It just always made sense. Then when I was thinking of album art, that popped into my head, and it was like ‘Oh yeah that’s beautiful.’ As far as I know that’s the only painting he has completed. Were your parents musical? What kind of stuff was in their record collections? Olson: They always listened to music a lot. My mom played piano a bit, casually. I definitely grew up on Bob Dylan, The Beatles. Stop Making Sense [by The Talking Heads] was played quite a bit. And Graceland [by Paul Simon]. Those were the albums

FROM SOUL, A3 Bruyneel-Fogelman said. At the Boys & Girls Clubs Harper Branch in Solana Beach, SOUL will be utilizing rooms that previously sat unused all day and also will be able to take advantage of the club’s “wonderful” outdoor spaces, such as the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle’s garden. The rooms have a maximum capacity for 125 students so the only downfall is that the club won’t work as a long-term location, meaning SOUL is still on the journey toward a permanent home. Once SOUL gets 80 students from the San Dieguito Union High School District, the district is required by Prop 39 to provide classroom space. SOUL will have to petition for the rooms by Nov. 1. “Our long-time goal is to build our own facility, and hopefully that happens sooner rather than later,” Bruyneel-Fogelman said. Enrollment has been guided by word of mouth and SOUL currently has 50 students — SOUL is

from other states have a lot of different problems in their communities that I am not familiar with, things I’ve heard about but never known. To talk to someone who was familiar with those kinds of problems, that was really eye-opening.” For Zhang, one of the most powerful messages he got from the summit was from guest speaker Omerina Cabrera. Cabrera grew up in Bronx, New York, with a single parent, experiencing homelessness three times. She and her twin brother struggled to stay in school and she was on track to drop out until she found a counselor and mentor that changed her life. The mentor cared and encouraged Omerina to pursue a better future, helping her get placed in an elite New England private school. She is now going to George Washington University. Unfortunately, her twin brother did not have the same support — he is now incarcerated, showing how much of a

difference it made for someone to encourage and guide her. “It was very inspiring to me because education is something I’ve taken for granted,” Zhang said. “It’s powerful to see she has succeeded.” While Zhang did not apply for a specific major at Columbia, he is interested in chemistry and would like to be on the pre-med track and plans to attend medical school after he graduates. The experience in Washington, D.C. helped him learn a lot more about healthcare and global health in general. When he gets to medical school he is interested in pursuing the field of public health or traveling to third world countries to participate in global health service projects. “I’m interested in using the idea of science and its knowledge to positively change the world,” Zhang said.

in heavy rotation growing up. And because of my mom I listened to a lot of Bonnie Raitt. My brother and I got those records, and I still collect records. The new album has a song called ‘Bad Night at Black’s Beach.’ Care to elaborate? Olson: I was in junior high and my brother was in high school and he was with some friends. This would’ve been just before everyone had cell phones. I was going to meet them down at Black’s Beach, so I was like ‘Oh yeah I’ll grab my Walkman and my backpack, I’ll walk down there on the beach,’ which is kind of far thinking back on it, from 15th Street to Black’s Beach. I finally got down there, exhausted, and there was no sign of my brother or his friends. I remember seeing a fire in the distance, so I walk towards it and as I get closer I can see that there is a guy standing there, he was just standing at the fire with his T-shirt on and nothing else, just fully Porky Pig-style and I was just like ‘What am I doing, where is this night taking me?’ It was this ongoing trek across the sand for hours finding weird things. When I made the song I was trying to conjure the feeling of endlessly walking dunes or sand and then I remembered that night, that’s totally what that was. It’s also a reference to an old western called Bad Day at Black Rock, and it’s also a reference to a Byrd’s song that I like called Bad Night at the Whiskey. I’m a big fan of The Byrds. Chris Hillman, their bassist, went to San Dieguito. Not a lot of people know that. Your music has this if-Kraftwerk-grew-up-on-the-Pacific-Ocean thing going on. Is that what you’re going for? Olson: I don’t think I had that in mind but I think that’s accurate. I’m flattered by that

description. That is what it is. I can’t help it, I’m definitely a California person and I’ve always lived on the Pacific Ocean and growing up in Del Mar was a huge part of that. I never surfed or anything but my friends and I would go skateboarding around Del Mar all the time. The parking lot down at 15th Street beach, there was a bump off the sidewalk we used to skate a lot. Del Mar folk did not generally take kindly to us skateboarding around. We used to skate this ledge at L’Auberge and we’d always get in trouble for that. I used to skateboard a lot at the Vons next to where my mom lived. There used to be a video rental store called Video Vault. They had a nice ledge there, by the Jack in the Box. I went to my share of summer concerts at Powerhouse Park. I saw James Brown at the Del Mar Fair. It was right before he died, so getting to see him, that was super rad. And I saw The Flaming Lips there. The Del Mar Fair was surprisingly cool, especially for the fair circuit, they would get really cool bands. It wasn’t like they would have Peter Cetera or something. Actually, they did have him this year. Oh really?! [laughs] I would be stoked to see Peter Cetera now but in high school I would have been like ‘Laaame.’ Right, there’s not exactly anger in your music. I’m not really setting out to make angst-y music. I’ve enjoyed my share of that, but the closest thing now is that sometimes our songs have some metal elements in it. Growing up with the ocean right there, it was kind of paradise. I definitely loved growing up in Del Mar. It was just so pleasant and chill. It afforded me a little Zen to find my creative self.

limited by its petition to the 7th and 9th grades in the first year. The second year SOUL will offer 7-10th grade, 11th grade in the third year and 12th grade in the fourth. By full build-out, they would like to have 100 students per grade. “We feel like it’s a school that will sell itself,” Grimes said. “Once more people hear about it, I know our enrollment will fill up.” Over the last several weeks they have been holding planning sessions with their “incredible” staff as educators are coming together from all over to be a part of SOUL. They have scored a math teacher who spent several years teaching in Colombia, an English teacher was the “Teacher of the Year” for the state of Arizona and a science teacher taught who has taught in Singapore and Chile and developed curriculum for young adult entrepreneurs in Uganda. The art teacher, Justin Moodie, grew up in the San Dieguito district and attended Earl Warren and Torrey Pines. He began his career teaching at Canyon Crest Academy and Carmel Valley Middle School and is coming to SOUL from the Bay Area where he just earned his

administrative services credential from the Principal Leadership Institute at UC Berkeley. SOUL will also be holding a “SOULbration Benefit” on Saturday, Aug. 5 at the Boys & Girls Clubs Harper Branch in Solana Beach from 6-10 p.m. (address:533 Lomas Santa Fe Solana Beach, 92075). The event will feature live music, food and drinks, a silent auction and a raffle to celebrate the school’s accomplishments and coming school year. Visit bit.ly/2eGj3jP At the benefit, SOUL will also launch its crowdfunding effort “Project 1:Be the SOULution,” which will help raise funds for the school to implement all of its innovative programs. “We’re not just a school, we’re a movement to create a new model of education,” Bruyneel-Fogelman said, noting every dollar counts. “Everyone has $1 to help support the transformation of education. There are so many discussions about education reform and all of the problems. We want to be the solution.” To learn more about SOUL, visit soulcharterschool.org

FROM FIELDS, A1 The fields are slated to be used by the junior varsity and freshman baseball teams from La Costa Canyon High School and San Dieguito High School Academy, as well as lacrosse and soccer teams from San Dieguito. The La Costa Valley fields were completed last year using funding from Proposition AA and have been open to daily use for the last few months but haven’t yet been available for rental. The district was planning to approve a contract with Carlsbad to manage the use of the fields. “This is disappointing in that we felt partnering with the city would be a win for the district, the city and the community,” SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said in an email. At this point, Dill said district staff will now prepare to administer the use of the property to accommodate district athletic programs and community recreation groups. “We will make every effort to accommodate as many organizations who would like to reserve the fields as we have done with our school sites,” Dill said. Recently, several Encinitas youth sports leagues came forward urging the district to reconsider the partnership with Carlsbad, speaking with members of the Prop AA Independent Citizens Oversight Committee as well as before the school board on July 13. “I’m very concerned about the district fields being handed over to Carlsbad,” said Scott Platenberg, a “soccer dad” of children at San Dieguito schools and a member of the executive board of Encinitas Express Soccer League. “As a board member I know the struggles we constantly face to find field space for our program. We have a great problem—we have more kids who want to

play more soccer. We have a hard time finding fields in this community; Carlsbad does not have that problem.” Jon Sevinson, the president of the Encinitas Express, argued that if Carlsbad were to administer use of the fields it would leave Encinitas teams “scraping the bottom of the barrel” for field use. “Only a small percentage of Carlsbad pays into Prop AA and into the district while the city of Encinitas is entirely within the district,” Sevinson said. “Encinitas has a serious lack of field space and this would be a wonderful boon for us.” The city of Carlsbad’s policy is that Carlsbad athletic organizations get first rights to use of fields and they also don’t charge city athletic organizations for use of city fields. Sevinson said Encinitas Express paid the district $30,000 to rent field space at Oak Crest and Diegueno Middle Schools last year as well as the turf field at San Dieguito High School Academy, which costs significantly more because of the turf. If the Calle Barcelona fields were available, he said the Express would utilize those fields rather than San Dieguito’s turf field to keep costs down for league families. Sevinson said he was pleased that the district is moving away from the contract with Carlsbad. “I think it’s the right decision for the district and the community,” Sevinson said. Dill said the district will work on a plan of operations going forward until they find another organization willing to take over the operation of the site. “We will now reconsider approaching the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito and the YMCA to explore other long-term operation agreements,” Dill said. “However, we must keep in mind that the ballot measure language assured community access to the fields and we would not want to restrict access to fee-based organizations only.”
