San Dieguito district forms special ed task force BY KAREN BILLING For the last several months, parents of special education students in the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) have been working to make their voices heard. Parents have protested in front of the district office, filed a petition and often filled the district board room to
advocate for reform for the special education curriculum and facilities such as the portables for the Adult Transition Program (ATP). In a response to their suggestions, the district board voted to form a special education task force at a special meeting held on Aug. 2. “This is a great first step forward
to working with our community in special education and otherwise and I’m really happy to see this being formed” said SDUHSD President Amy Herman. The formation of the task force came a day after the district announced a short-term solution to the parents’ issues with the ATP facilities, two portables to house

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Thirteen Encinitas boys will represent the United States' western region this weekend when they compete for the first time ever in the Junior League Baseball World Series. The Encinitas Little League All-Stars junior division will head to Taylor, Mich. on Aug. 11 to represent 13 states against teams from the southeast, southwest, central and east divisions. Their first game takes place Aug. 13 against the southwest champion team from Abilene, Texas. The World Series runs through Aug. 20. "They're getting to do something that such a small percentage of little league baseball players ever get to do," said Danny Muckley, who has been managing the team comprised of 13and 14-year-old boys for three years. The boys — who are from five individual teams within the Encinitas Little League junior division — tried
out for the all-star team in June. Seven of them are returning players from previous years. Since making the team, they have practiced up to six times a week and have beaten teams throughout the western region in order to earn their chance to compete in the World Series. "Even making an all-star team is an exceptional accomplishment, but to then be a successful all-star team in one of the hotbeds of baseball, which is Southern California, is really something that these kids and the community are really proud of," Muckley said. This is the first time in the team's 61-year history that it is headed to the World Series. Muckley said the accomplishments are a "culmination of so many variables," including past coaches and SEE BASEBALL, A18

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Encinitas residents and employees will soon have a public spot to charge their electric vehicles. The Encinitas City Council on Aug. 9 unanimously approved a three-year contract with Corridor Power for 10 parking spaces for electric vehicles in an existing City Hall lower overflow parking lot at 505 S. Vulcan Avenue. Council member Tasha Boerner Horvath and Mayor Catherine Blakespear were also appointed to a subcommittee to overlook the project. The arrangement also calls for a drivers’ lounge building, where people can wait or grab ready-made snacks while their cars are charging. Currently, the lot has 25 parking spaces available, but the drivers’ lounge would remove seven of those. Of the remaining spaces, 10 would be used for electric vehicles and eight would be used for public, non-charging spaces. Boerner Horvath said the drivers’ lounge should be branded with information about Encinitas, and the products sold should come from local businesses. City staff analyzed that the parking lot is currently most in demand between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. Staff anticipates peak demand for fast-charging from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. SEE ELECTRIC, A19

breast cancer. “There are so many incredible things happening now, and I kind of want to help bring it to the forefront with the book,” she said. Peddycord, who has been cancer-free for 15 years, said because cancer affects so many people — including those who are diagnosed and those who know them — anyone can read this book and find it to be comforting. “People are telling me it demystifies cancer to talk about the process,” she said, adding she is currently working on her second book. “So many people have said they know people who have gone through cancer and they were afraid to ask about it. It’s been very rewarding from that standpoint, and this seems like the right thing to do.” For more information about “Shouting for Grace” and to purchase the book, visit bit.ly/2vGF3ll

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY When Encinitas resident Sylvia Peddycord set out to write a fictional book, she didn’t imagine her personal life would be written out on the pages. However, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer during the writing process that all changed. In the early 2000s, Peddycord began writing “Shouting for Grace,” which was released in March. Originally, the story was supposed to focus on a mother named Ellie with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but when Peddycord was diagnosed with breast cancer, so was Ellie. “My cancer just became entwined in the book and the characters,” Peddycord said. “One thing led to another, and the cancer just found its way into my writing.” In “Shouting for Grace,” Ellie moves to San Diego to overcome her OCD but decides to goes back home to North Carolina to care for her estranged teenage daughter, Grace. During that time, her world is further complicated with a cancer diagnosis. Peddycord — who is originally from North Carolina before moving to San Diego, like Ellie — described the writing process as “empowering.” While Ellie’s story wasn’t entirely hers, she could vent and share her own experience through someone else. She said the book took her years to write because of her diagnosis and births of her five grandchildren. By the time she was done writing the 306-page book, she said she had trouble publishing it because publishers told her a story about cancer “probably wouldn’t sell.” Eventually, she teamed up with San Diego-based Balboa Press to release the book in March via online distributors, such as Amazon. Her next goal is to get it in bookstores, she said. Peddycord, who formerly worked in finance before becoming a full-time author, plans to donate 10 percent of royalties received from sales through Dec. 31, 2019 to the Breast Cancer Research Fund to help with the fight against

Two poets tie for first place in Encinitas competition BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY ourteen wordsmiths competed in the La Paloma Summer Poetry Jam, presented by Full Moon Poets, on July 30, with two ultimately coming out on top. Leon Alexander and Mario DeMatteo tied for first place at the annual competition. Danny Salzhandler, the evening's host, said both poets were a clear hit with the audience. "When I am backstage I can’t hear the poets very [well] so I have to go by the reaction of the audience," he said. "With Leon and Mario, the audience reaction let me know they were nailing it. They both were right on time with three minutes. ... You can tell how long they practice their poems by finishing right under the limit, according to my my stopwatch." The winners shared their experiences at the competition, as well as their history with poetry in interviews with the Encinitas Advocate.
F
Alexander Leon, 37, of San Diego What were the poems you wrote about and how did you choose them? I chose poems I thought would reach the hearts and minds of the
audience. The first poem I shared, "Internally," is about how my search for true love parallels my understanding of existence, and the paradox of searching for it in a romantic partner, while having it inside of myself. The second poem, "Between the Lines," is about my drive to live a fulfilling life by being willing to take chances and make sacrifices, regardless of consequences. The third poem, "The Wonder Under" is about the internal search for purpose and understanding in life. How did the audience respond to your poems? I felt that my poems resonated with the audience. It was nice to hear responses in the crowd from time to time that were agreeable to lines I recited or that signified some lines were thought-provoking. What was the vibe at the competition like? I felt there was great energy from the other poets as well as the audience. It seemed to be an atmosphere in which the poets and audience were one, rather than poets just putting on a performance for an audience, or an audience being there to see a performance from poets. How did this competition compare with others? This is the first poetry slam I have won. I've only competed or seen
JIM BABWE
La Paloma Summer Poetry Slam first place winners Mario DeMatteo and Alexander Leon, center and far right, respectively, with second place winner Mathew Maichen. other competitions a couple times. This was a much larger venue and crowd than the other competitions I've experienced. I really enjoyed the old-school feel of the theater as well. Have you competed in this
competition in the past? I competed in this same competition about one-and-a-half to two years ago, but didn't make it past the second round. I competed in two competitions in Atlanta when I first began performing
poetry (about five years ago). I actually just showed for open mics, and there happened to be a competition so I had to compete to perform. On a side note, I began performing poetry to help me get over my fear of speaking/performing in front of crowds. How did you get your start in poetry? I started when I was 13 and wrote casually from time to time in high school. I did some rap music in my lower-to-mid-20s. I didn't do much writing from mid-20s to lower-30s. I started writing every once in a while in my lower-30s and even more so over the past couple years (since moving to San Diego from Atlanta), but still not as often as I would like. What do you like about poetry? I like the ability of poetry to relate ideas and feelings in ways that are felt and imagined, rather than just heard by the recipient. Do you have any published books or anything you'd like to promote? I have a website with audio files and text of some of my poems: viathemessenger.bandcamp.com What's next on your radar? I'm looking to find some musicians to perform with and see where the wind blows me from there. SEE POETS, A18

Four candidates in the running for 49th Congressional District election BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Three people have filed so far to run against incumbent Congressman Darrell Issa in the 49th Congressional District of California election next year. Retired Marine Col. Douglas Applegate, businessman Paul Kerr and environmental attorney Mike Levin have thrown their hats in the ring for the primary election on Nov. 6, 2018. The 49th Congressional District of California includes cities in the southern portion of the state, including South Orange County and the North San Diego cities of Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Carlsbad, Vista, Oceanside and Camp Pendleton. Applegate, Kerr and Levin will participate in a candidates forum presented by the Democratic Club of Vista on Aug. 12 from 10 a.m. to noon at 1234 North Santa Fe Avenue in Vista.

active and reserve service, Marine Corps. • What are three things you hope to achieve if elected? 1. Healthcare: I will work to make single payer healthcare a reality. I believe that healthcare is a human right, and a Medicare-for-All system will reduce costs and dramatically increase coverage. 2. Immigration: We are a nation of immigrants. I will fight for sensible, compassionate, comprehensive immigration reform, with pathways to citizenship for our millions of hard-working undocumented residents. 3. Environment: It is too late for half measures. The climate crisis we face demands massive public investment in a comprehensive sustainable energy production and a distribution system for the preservation of our national prosperity, national security, and global environment.

Woman struck by Coaster train in Encinitas dies BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A woman died on the early morning of Aug. 8 after being struck by a Coaster train in Encinitas, authorities said. Deputies from the North Coastal Sheriff’s Transit Enforcement Unit responded to a report of a Coaster versus pedestrian at the intersection of Santa Fe Drive and Vulcan Avenue at 6:28 a.m., according to a news release from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. A preliminary investigation found that the southbound Coaster was traveling at about 50 miles per hour when the 56-year-old woman ran onto the railroad tracks in front of the train, authorities said. The train then went into emergency braking but struck the woman, who was pronounced dead at the scene, the sheriff’s department said. Authorities have not further identified the woman. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call the Sheriff’s Department’s non-emergency line at 858-565-5200.
first hand the challenges new businesses face. I’ll continue working to bring jobs back home and promote policies that allow all to have the opportunity to achieve the American dream. 2. Reform our broken tax code. Fixing our tax code is my highest priority. Americans need to be able to keep more of their hard-earned money and job-creators need a tax structure that will allow us to unleash productivity, create jobs, and grow our nation’s economy. 3. Put veterans first. The heroes who fought and gave it all to serve our nation deserve the highest standard of care and the benefits they’ve earned. As a former Captain in the U.S. Army, I’ll never stop fighting to put our veterans first.

SANDAG Executive Director to retire SANDAG Executive Director Gary Gallegos, who has led the agency since 2001, announced recently that he will retire by the end of the calendar year. “Gary Gallegos will leave us as a giant in regional planning and transportation,” said SANDAG Chair and County Supervisor Ron Roberts. “His drive and effectiveness as a transportation leader are nationally renowned, particularly when it comes to bringing investment into our community and getting creative projects started and completed. While he will be sorely missed, I must honor his decision.” Gallegos, 57, has overseen the agency for 16 years. “While retirement has been on my mind for some time, my goal during the last few months has been to help SANDAG and our incredibly talented team through the process of an independent examination of our forecasting efforts, as well as keep the organization moving forward on major initiatives such as the
construction of the Mid-Coast Trolley extension and South Bay Rapid, along with planning for the Otay Mesa East Port of Entry. “Those goals have been achieved,” Gallegos continued. “The independent examination found that SANDAG did not intentionally mislead the public or the board regarding its forecast. The board has implemented a plan to address issues related to the forecast. And the board will consider additional recommendations from the independent examination.” In 2004, Gallegos led the effort to extend TransNet, a regional half-cent sales tax for transportation; 67 percent of county voters approved the extension. The TransNet program has invested about $3 billion — and attracted another $10 billion in state and federal matching funds — to build about 20 major highway and Managed Lane projects and almost 30 transit projects throughout the region. — Submitted press release

Accomplished singer Gary Puckett to perform at Vision of Children benefit in RSF BY ROB LEDONNE It was exactly 50 years ago this August that music producer Jerry Fuller was in a bowling alley in San Diego when he heard a then-unknown Gary Puckett for the first time. From there, Fuller helped make a star of Puckett and his band the Union Gap, resulting in six consecutive gold records and a number of classic hits, including “Young Girl,” “Woman, Woman,” and “Lady Willpower.” Now, Puckett is getting ready to head back to San Diego for a good cause, headlining a show to raise funds for the Vision of Children Foundation, a local charity whose mission is to cure genetic vision disorders and childhood blindness. “I just like everything the charity stands for,” says Puckett from his Florida home. “Co-founders Sam and Vivian Hardage have a child who has a genetic disorder and they’re very serious about what they’re doing. So many of the charities out there look good on paper, but then you find out most of the money goes to the bureaucracy of it. Vision of Children does a great job at bringing in money that goes directly to research and development.” The Sept. 8 event at Rancho Santa Fe’s Fairbanks Ranch Country Club is a homecoming of sorts for Puckett, who grew up in Idaho and moved to Claremont after graduating high school. It was in San Diego where he planted the seeds for his later musical stardom. “August 17th is the 50th anniversary of recording our first hit, ‘Woman, Woman,’” says Puckett of what’s now a ’60s gold

We had a 30-piece orchestra set up in a circle in Studio A at Columbia Records.” From there the band had a successful run in the late ’60s and early ’70s, laying a
foundation for musical success that’s sturdy to this day. “The songs just get under your skin and that’s what still keeps me active,” said Puckett, who, in later years, moved with his wife to Florida’s Tampa Bay area. “The fact is, the people of my era still love their music and they still want to hear it.

‘We are all in this together’ Local’s Word Rocks project spreads a ripple of love, kindness BY KAREN BILLING or the last six years, Encinitas resident Carol Arêas has been sprinkling happiness and magic one rock at a time through her Word Rocks project. Arêas lovingly paints inspiring words and phrases on rocks and scatters them throughout San Diego and beyond with the hope that someone will find one and it will make them smile. She also hopes that person will help pay those positive vibes forward. “We all have the power to make a difference in someone’s life. We all have the power to change the world and we can do that by being kind,” Arêas said. Arêas led a crafting with purpose workshop at Mint Studio at the Village of Pacific Highlands Ranch on Aug. 4, teaching children the art and joy of rock painting and inspiring kids to be “action takers, magic makers and world shakers” “No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted,” Arêas told the kids. The Word Rocks movement began when Areas was hopelessly homesick after moving to Carmel Valley from her native Brazil in 2011. When she felt sad about missing her family and friends, she would take to walking the beach because it made her feel closer to them. On one such walk along Torrey Pines State Beach, she picked up some rocks, smoothed by the ocean, to bring home to help cheer her up. She painted inspirational words on the rocks and kept them for herself. Soon her collection of painted rocks had grown so large that her then-10-year-old son Antonio suggested

Antonio came up with the name Word Rocks and together they spread the love and started a website to track the rocks’ progress. It has now evolved to an Instagram page with nearly 18,000 followers. With the help of others who have been inspired by her message and by her own travels, Word Rocks have landed all over from the rim of the Grand Canyon to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. A rock painted with
“giola,” the Italian word for joy, was photographed in Italy and an orphanage in Malaysia picked up the project as a way for the children there to use donated art supplies, warming Areas’ heart. “It’s very special to me, especially as an immigrant who had to start a new life,” Arêas said. “It helps me feel connected to the world.” The rocks are just one way that Areas uses to spread love and kindness — she also makes “magic sticks” that she places inside bookstore and library books, and leaves love notes, posters and banners wherever she goes that send messages like “You matter,” “you are not alone” and “We are all in this together.” It is Arêas’ goal to send that ripple of kindness out to every broken or lonely heart, lost soul or just someone who needs a little pick-me-up.

“The perfect note left at the perfect time can really impact someone’s life,” she said, recalling a story of someone who found a rock in Starbucks who wrote Arêas that she had been having a horrible day and was feeling down. After finding the rock, she made it a point to spend the rest of the day focusing on the good. “You don’t have to paint a rock. Leave a love note, smile to people, hold the door open for someone.

Rancho Coastal Humane Society earns four-star rating again Four stars, the highest possible rating, has once again been awarded to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas by Charity Navigator, America’s Largest Charity Evaluator. Out of 100 possible points RCHS earned a score and rating of 99.93. In a letter to RCHS President Jim Silveira, Charity Navigator President and CEO Michael A. Thatcher said, “Rancho Coastal Humane Society has earned our fourth consecutive 4-star rating. This is our highest possible rating and indicates that your organization adheres to sector best practices and executes its mission in a financially efficient way.” “Attaining a 4-star rating verifies that Rancho Coastal Humane Society exceeds industry standards and outperforms most charities in your area of work,"
Thatcher said. "Only 12 percent of the charities we evaluate have received at least 4 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Rancho Coastal Humane Society outperforms most other charities in America. This exceptional designation from Charity Navigator sets Rancho Coastal Humane Society apart from its peers and demonstrates to the public its trustworthiness.” Silveira said, “Charity Navigator identifies eight animal welfare organizations with perfect scores of 100. Just three of them are working animal shelters. Rancho Coastal Humane Society is the fourth highest Charity Navigator rated animal shelter in the United States and the highest rated animal shelter in California.” Charity Navigator urges donors to research before
giving by making sure the organization is a bona fide, tax exempt 501 (c)(3) public charity; examining the charity's finances; and ensuring the charity is accountable and transparent. They also recommend that you follow up on the charity in six months to a year to find out how it is using your money. If you’re pleased, investigate a longer term financial commitment. If not, start over again researching other organizations. For more information about Rancho Coastal Humane Society, visit the shelter at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas, vcall 760-753-6413, or go to www.sdpets.org.

LabRats to host workshop Aug. 26 in Encinitas LabRats San Diego, a nonprofit, after-school education company is hosting a professional development workshop for parents and teachers on Aug. 26 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive. Attendees will learn a proven, scientific based, hands-on approach to help children develop a passion and interest in science. The four-hour interactive professional development workshop is designed to help parents and teachers master the skills, innovative approaches and teaching techniques to inspire students to feel empowered through their own personal STEM journey to excellence. The interactive workshop is instructed by Shawn Carlson, Ph.D., a physicist and innovator in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. His scientific approach has been featured in many national publications such as Newsweek, US News, World Report and
Scientific American as well as numerous newspapers and TV shows. In recognition of his work in science education, Carlson received the prestigious MacArthur Genius Fellowship Award for his work in science. In addition, Carlson is an innovator of “Engagement Education,” a system of instruction designed to motivate students to gain authentic competency in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. “We feature an innovative teaching philosophy developing Self, Social and Custodial Engagement to help students find their passions,” Carlson said. “Our primary goal is to help youth ages 11-18 achieve their own personal best destiny by providing them with adaptive learning strategies and the most empowering and enriching STEM education possible.” To register for the $75 workshop, visit www.SanDiegoLabRats.org.

Dog fest relocates to bigger venue BY BARBARA HENRY After a dozen years of hosting their event in downtown Cardiff, the organizers of what's often billed as the region's biggest dog-focused event have sniffed out a new location. This year's Dog Days of Summer, set for noon to 6 p.m. Aug. 13, will take place at Encinitas Community Park, just west of Interstate 5 on Santa Fe Drive. The 44-acre park contains lots of paw-friendly grass to roll around on and even the city's official dog park play zone. "We definitely kind of outgrew the (downtown street) space, but we also needed a more pet-friendly location," Roberta Walker, executive director of the Cardiff 101 Main Street Association, said. "This gives us the ability to really expand the event ... and (provide) a better experience for everyone." In order to accommodate the change in venue, this year's event will happen on a Sunday instead of a Saturday, and it will begin at noon instead of 10 a.m. With a later festival start time, people can sleep in that morning or go to church before showing up at the park for "an action-packed six hours," Walker said. This year's festival includes all the traditional activities, plus a few new items because of the extra space the park offers, she added. Much-loved annual events include the blessing of the animals ceremony, set for 12:30 p.m. this year, and the "best" contests. There are six contest categories: Cutest Puppy, Best Looking Big Dog, Best Looking Small Dog, Best Trick, Best Dressed and the Dog/Owner Look-A-Like event. Registration is from 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., and it costs $5 to participate. New this year is a free training session at 3:30 p.m on that will teach you how to skateboard while walking your dog. Plus, throughout the afternoon, officials from California Veterinary Specialists will answer pet-related health questions at a new "ask a vet" booth.

The Cardiff Dog Days of Summer, seen here in 2016, returns this year in a new, larger venue and on a different day of the week. People also can get an early start on their Christmas shopping at the new Makers' Market Row, which will feature vendors selling their handmade jewelry and other artistic creations. More space also means more music and a dog agility course area. Instead of one stage, there will be two, including one inside the beer and wine garden, Walker said. The agility course will be open throughout the day and it's free. People who are in the market for a dog might want to scope out what's available at "Rescue Row," where animal rescue organizations will showcase adoptable animals. Some 10,000 people typically attend the annual festival. Free shuttle bus service once again will be offered. People can park at one of two locations: Scripps Memorial Hospital, 354 Santa Fe Drive, or San Dieguito High School Academy, 800 Santa Fe Drive. Dogs are welcome to ride the shuttle buses, and they can even sit with their owners at the festival's beer and wine garden area, though the new specialty beer that Lost Abbey has made for the occasion is for humans, not dogs. – Barbara Henry is a freelance writer who covers Encinitas for The San Diego Union-Tribune

One Love Movement to raise money for charity through yoga BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY More than 600 yogis will gather at the Embarcadero Waterfront Park on Aug. 19 to do yoga and raise money for a good cause. The annual One Love Movement event will feature yoga, live music, vendors, food and libations to raise money to support underserved youth locally in San Diego and abroad at the One Love Shelter in India. Chelsea Koehnen, an Encinitas resident who has participated in the event since its inception in 2011, will serve as one of five instructors this year. The mother of three young daughters said she enjoys the charitable efforts of the One Love Movement and hopes to inspire her children with her participation. "My kids have a pretty privileged life," she said. "I don't think they've ever really seen kids really want anything, and so I think it's really powerful for [founder] Kim [Bauman] to be helping and supporting kids in our area that need support. It's very important for me to have my kids be involved in helping as well and seeing there are other people out there who aren't as fortunate."
Koehnen's 6-year-old daughter, Ella, is president of the kids chapter of the One Love Movement and will be attending the event, along with her 9-year-old and 6-year-old sisters. Instructors will walk around the event to assist participants with hands-on training, Koehnen said, making the event appropriate for yogis of all ages and abilities. Last year, the event had about 600 participants. Koehnen said this year the group is aiming for 700. "There is absolutely something so powerful about sharing the energy and this connection with 600 people," she said. "It's just something you cannot replicate in a regular studio class. When you're outside and in nature, and you have really fantastic live music, the energy is just something that is really empowering. You really feel that essence of connection in mind and body beyond just the physical postures."

North Coast Rep to present Neil Simon comedy
N
orth Coast Rep will begin Season 36 with one of Neil Simon’s enduring comedic masterpieces, “Last of the Red Hot Lovers.” Barney Cashman, middle-aged, overworked, and with no experience in covert maneuvers, is bored with his bland, “nice” life. He is anxiously trying to join the sexual revolution before it’s too late. His bungled attempts at seduction will leave audiences
howling with laughter. Last season’s Laughter on the 23rd Floor by Simon was a smash sellout, so playgoers are advised to order tickets early. “Last of the Red Hot Lovers” previews begin Wednesday, Sept. 6. Opening Night is Saturday, Sept. 9, at 8 p.m. There will be a special talkback on Friday, Sept. 15, with the cast and artistic director. The show runs through Sunday, Oct. 1.

San Diego Botanic Garden to hold 18th annual Gala in the Garden
Joe’s Paving takes a unique approach At Joe’s Paving, CEO Sean Repko says there’s “no guesswork.” With thorough proposals that are Microsoft Excel-driven, the Valley Center paving business stands out among its competitors. “It’s almost like a menu,” Repko said. “You know exactly what you’re getting.” Customers also don’t pay until the work is complete, which helps build trust, Repko said. Repko took over the business in November 2001 after deciding to make a switch from his career in technology, in which he owned his own business. He saw the then-30-year-old company was for sale and worked for the former owner for no pay for 60 days to see if he was up to the challenge of taking it over since he had no prior experience in contracting. Now having owned Joe’s Paving for nearly 17 years, he has grown the business 400 percent, he said. Joe’s Paving specializes in asphalt paving construction for both

residential and commercial clients. Its team takes “a comprehensive approach to service, catering to new home tract developments, private roads, shopping centers, industrial parks, mobile home parks, homeowners’ associations, and much more,” according to its
website. What makes Joe’s Paving unique is Repko’s background and the professionalism of his 60 employees, Repko said. “There are a lot of companies that do what we do,” he said. “You have to have a license, the equipment and you have to be professional with a good track record. We have all that. What differentiates us, in many cases, is you don’t need a college degree to do what we do, but I have a background in economics and finance. My guys are professional and look good with tucked in shirts. I think first impressions are really important.” For more information about Joe’s Paving, visit www.pavingamerica.com or call 760-749-0519.

he most recent misstep at the San Dieguito Union High School District centers on the lack of planning for adequate facilities for the Adult Transition Program, which serves special education students ages 18-22. But there have been others. Besides the ones listed last week, no recitation could be complete without discussing the district’s precarious financial status. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill’s yearly prediction that the district nearly always manages to close its deficit by the end of the fiscal year, thanks to careful planning and conservative estimates, did not come to pass this time. Final figures will be available this month, but Dill told me a deficit is anticipated. At the May board meeting, the deficit was estimated to be about $8.5 million. As the deficit grows, reserves decline. With mandatory pension contributions rising, the trend line is alarming. In May, the district showed projected reserves dwindling from 12.2 percent in 2016-2017, to 8.8 percent in 2017-2018, to 4.9 percent in 2018-2019, to 3.3 percent in 2019-2020. Contributions to CalSTRS (the California State Teachers Retirement System) are projected to increase from 8.25 percent of teacher salaries in 2013-2014 to 19.1 percent by 2020-2021.

damage. The district’s false optimism and poor financial planning will negatively affect all programs unless the state suddenly enjoys a miraculous infusion of cash in coming years. With Gov. Jerry Brown predicting an end to the last few years of economic growth, new money seems unlikely. As a result, parents can expect to be asked more insistently to donate to school foundations and classrooms for items and programs the school district should be funding. School board members are not fulfilling their primary duty to safeguard taxpayer money when they put complete faith in empty promises that the budget may begin the fiscal year looking dire but will end with a rosy outcome. Facility priorities The passage of Proposition AA, narrow though it was, gave the district an opportunity to update facilities and provide new construction to meet 21st-century needs of students. So how did sports become the top priority for Prop. AA funds, over classrooms? Was it right for the district to prioritize millions of dollars to build athletic fields at Canyon Crest Academy before any number of other facility needs, such as permanent state-of-the-art ATP classrooms? Why was construction of athletic fields at the 22-acre La Costa Valley site, where there is no school and no students attend classes, ahead of so many other more pressing needs on the project list? In a related matter, should the district’s foundations be occupying space at all four high schools free of charge? Could these rooms be used instead by students or teachers?

Districts can expect contribution increases to CalPERS (the California Public Employees Retirement System) as well. The projected rate for 2020-2021 approaches 24.9 percent, with a top rate of 28.2 percent in 2023-2024. A major factor eroding the district’s general fund is the 12.5-percent salary increase given to all district employees last year, amounting to an annual expense of $6.5 million. District management in late 2015 and early 2016 assured the board that there was plenty of money for this $6.5 million expenditure well into the future. Three of the five school board members drank the Kool-Aid and approved the increase in compensation which was given to every district employee, not just teachers. Although the financial health of school districts is ultimately a board responsibility, the superintendent oversees all operations in the district, always with an eye toward the bottom line. To be fair, Dill did not propose the $6.5 million raises. Yet as head of Business Services under thensuperintendent Rick Schmitt, Dill knew the numbers and had to realize that it was risky to incur that much in general fund expense, an expenditure that will never go away. Now as superintendent, he’s responsible for undoing the

et to know this new hybrid succulent ice plant everyone is talking about. Meet the new Delosperma hybrids. We all want a blooming hanging basket that takes very little water, loves the sun, is easy care and blooms all summer maybe even longer. This is the new basket that can do it all. It’s one of the ice plants called Delosperma. Get used to the name because you’ll be seeing them more and more. Why them? Because with breeders all over the world working on bringing out the newest and the best, there is already more than one new Delospema. Chances are you never heard the name. Don’t worry, you have lots of company. It’s in the big group we call “ice plants.” They come vibrantly in boom all over our area in spring with colors so intense it almost hurts to look at them. Then as quickly as they appear the blooms are gone, except for a very few that will bloom sporadically during the summer. These new Delosperma will bloom in the sun all summer into fall.
They are native to South Africa in the high mountain area called The Drakensberg, so they are also very cold tolerant, low water and easy. Plus, deer resistant. I don’t know about rabbits but in my experience if the rabbits or deer are hungry enough they’ll try everything except the tires on your car. As a basket, it makes it a whole lot more difficult. Lavender is the original color but the new Delosperma hybrids have sparkling color variations from all over the rainbow and more. Among the most popular new hybrids you will find at your local garden center is Monrovia’s Delosperma Fire Spinner. Selecta, the German breeder, has a new introduction called Lido. These are softer colors with a white eye. These new Delosperma make a great ground cover and an even better basket. They have small daisy-like flowers, dainty foliage and the ability to rebloom during the summer. Forget the ground cover and think blooming low-care sun basket. I planted two 4” Delosperma into a basket and it has grown and thrived in my west

sun balcony. Of course, you can plant any of the Delosperma as a long-blooming ground cover. Come sundown and like most of the daisy flowers, they go to sleep. Weidner’s Gardens is trialing the new Lido and they look great. What’s even nicer is that this is also a perennial so it will be growing and blooming year after year. Another older Delosperma you might recognize is the white Disneyland ice plant. That is a Delosperma. Care is simple. Full to at least a half day of sun. The more sun the better. Water when dry, maybe once a week. But this plant is flexible enough to fit it in with any of your watering schedules. Add in an occasional bit of fertilizer and that is all you need to do.

Lux Art Institute unveils artists for 2017-18 season BY LEAH OLLMAN Lux Art Institute has announced the five artists who will be “modeling creativity” there in the coming season. Each will live on-site for a month, developing a new project in public view during open studio hours. An exhibition of each participant’s work will be presented in the studio space, providing a context for the residency project, and strengthening the visible connection between what the artists make and how they make it. Reesey Shaw, founding director of the Encinitas institution, aims for variety when programming each season, she said, but most of all she hopes to introduce art that is memorable. “You especially want to show kids something they’ll never forget. If the kids are wowed, everybody will be wowed.” Lux presented a particularly ambitious slate of international artists for its 10th season, which just concluded. “I was worried how season 11 would measure up to that,” Shaw said, “but I’m very proud to present this group.” The artists charged with demystifying the creative process in the coming year hail from as far as London and as near as Los Angeles. They explore mythology and art history, geometry and popular culture, through painting, sculpture, and inventive combinations of the two.

FROM EDUCATION MATTERS, A16 Although it’s good that Dill was able to place all three Adult Transition Program classrooms together at La Costa Canyon High School, to the relief of ATP parents, why did he tell the SOUL Charter School founders that there was no room for them at LCC or any of the district’s other schools when clearly there was? Should the district have provided free office space and resources at Earl Warren Middle School to former San Dieguito Faculty Association president Bob Croft, to carry out his union duties? Croft, who retired June 30, was paid a full salary – $125,797 – but hasn’t taught in a classroom since 2010. A substitute teacher was hired each year since 2010, at considerable expense, to teach Croft’s physical education classes. Culture of secrecy Too often San Dieguito operates as an independent, insular government agency with little regard for open communication with its shareholders (parents and taxpayers). This pervasive culture of secrecy percolates from the top down. The lack of responsiveness by Dill to repeated requests for clarification and information continues to disturb board members, the press and community members. The district’s secretive practice of putting little or nothing in emails on controversial subjects is a sneaky way to avoid revelations that might come to light through a Public Records Request. Claiming attorney-client privilege as reason to deny the release of information is an overused excuse that in many cases has no merit. Too much information is labeled confidential and withheld from the public. Whether it’s intended or not, many parents feel disrespected and ignored. This disregard for constituents is indicative of a climate in
circuits and constellations. His compositions are vibrant with color, light, and the mark of the hand, while referencing forms of technology and the energy of the contemporary urban landscape. In studio: June 16-July 14. On exhibit: Through Aug. 4. Lux will also be presenting the work of two additional artists in the Education Pavilion’s Brandes Gallery: Matthew Rosenquist, L.A.-based sculptor of rough-hewn wooden figures in insistently contemporary poses (Sept. 8-Nov. 18); and Santiago Quesnel, a painter of lush, memory-driven landscapes from Buenos Aires, Argentina (Dec. 2-closing date to be determined). Leah Ollman is a freelance writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune. need of radical overhaul. The days when staff could make decisions unilaterally, backed by a board that rubber-stamped all recommendations, are clearly over. Parents are more involved and are advocating more strongly for their children and their children’s best interests. As they should. Breaking open that closed door policy is an important step. What the community needs to see is availability, access and openness. ATP concerns The problems associated with the Adult Transition Program were avoidable, had the district been more transparent and listened and responded to concerns raised months, if not years, ago. Those concerns were not just about facilities but also about the lack of decent, updated curriculum for special education students. This ties into the general complaint that not enough attention was being given to this cohort of students. The situation has been temporarily resolved (at least for the 2017-2018 school year) after the explosive parent forum held July 28 when ATP parents let loose on the beleaguered superintendent for what they perceived as discriminatory treatment of their children. The ATP parents’ desire to move forward in a spirit of cooperation, after all they’ve been through, is laudable. But to avoid a future repeat of this kind of uprising, the district needs to acknowledge its shortcomings and resolve to put into place policies and a culture that respects parents, treats everyone with dignity, responds to inquiries with timeliness and honesty, and upholds principles of full transparency. Perhaps this unfortunate episode can be a moment of awakening for the district. Opinion columnist and Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

FROM POETS, A3
Mario DeMatteo, 33, of Carlsbad What were the poems you wrote about and how did you choose them? The poems I shared were very personal to me, though I always hope they will resonate with people and speak into their lives. The first poem is a fable about a roly-poly who [would] rather be a butterfly. It transitions into my own life experience of being in a wheelchair and often wishing I could walk again, but ultimately realizing that I am perfect just the way I am. It is a poem about overcoming our oftentimes negative perceptions of ourselves and having faith that there is purpose for our lives, no matter our situation. The other poem I did was about falling in love in the kitchen with my amazing girlfriend Karla, surrounded by onion soup, Billy Holiday on the record player and the magic of fireplace storytelling. How did the audience respond to your poems? The audience at the Full Moon Poets Slam is always amazing and super encouraging. How long have you been writing poetry? I've been writing poetry and stories since high school. I started taking it seriously a few years ago while attending Cal State San Marcos and later being introduced to the Glassless Minds Open Mic in Oceanside and also the San Diego Poetry Slam in North Park. San Diego has a thriving underground spoken word poetry scene led by a true legend, Rudy Francisco. Last year, the San Diego Poetry Slam Team placed second in the nation out of 80 teams. One day I dream to be on the San Diego Slam Team, which has been a huge push for me to continue to write and improve. What do you like about poetry?

He continues to tour internationally and recently released a new album, "GARY PUCKETT – LIVE.” Puckett credits the lasting power of his hits, some exactly a half-century old, to the fact that they were a special culmination of quality songwriting, lyrics, melody and production. “I think it’s also because we were totally analog in those days,” Puckett muses about their lasting power. “The music had a warmer sound, instead of now recording digital. People are starting to remember that now,

"Our team this year performed at the next level," he said. The team is raising money for travel to the World Series and other accommodations. It is estimated that travel, food and
I love many things about poetry. It is a great way to tell stories and move a crowd. It is an amazing way to deal with depression or anxiety, by breaking out of our shells and becoming vulnerable with crowds of strangers. The poets I've met over the years are some of the bravest, most compassionate people I know. Poetry can transform really emotional concepts into universal experiences that aid the healing of both poet and audience. It is a very powerful art form, especially performance poetry, where an immediate visceral response is created. What was the vibe of the competition like? The vibe of the slam was super uplifting and encouraging. How did this competition compare with others? I love the Full Moon Poets Slam! It is laidback and super fun. The San Diego Poetry Slam is more serious, because poets are competing to make a very prestigious poetry team. Have you competed in the past? Yes, I have, many times. I will always compete and support the Full Moon Poets Slam. Do you have any published books or anything you'd like to promote? I am the creator and publisher of a Christian graphic novel about Paul the Apostle, set in a futuristic creature world. It is not poetry, but super amazing for Christian parents with kids ages 8-13 as a ministry tool. You can check it out at www.beartruthcollective.com. I am also working on a poetry book as well, which I am really excited to submit to publishers. What's next on your radar? I have a lot of different projects going on right now. Working on two new graphic novels, a children's picture book, a poetry book and personal website, running a business Beartruth Collective, and always growing tons of food in my backyard urban farm. with records becoming popular again.” Now, Puckett is ready to strut his stuff in San Diego once again, all these years after that chance discovery in a noisy bowling alley, and raise much-needed funds for children in need. “The night is really about giving children back their vision in some way, and that’s what Vision of Children is all about,” Puckett says. “That to me is what’s impressive.” Tickets to Concert With A Vision start at $250 per person, with sponsorships beginning at $5,000. Tickets and sponsorships may be purchased online at www.visionofchildren.org. For more information, please call 858-314-7916 or email info@visionofchildren.org.

Encinitas Little League is hoping to raise about $40,000 more than what's already been donated. "We're going to need to ask the community for some fundraising support because it's going to be extremely expensive to send the kids and their families out there to represent California and Encinitas Little League," Muckley said.

The task force will include representation from special education parents and educators, as well as a rotating school board member. According to Dill, the purpose of the task force will be to engage in a long-term strategic planning process for special education services. The group will come together through a series of formally agendized and publicly-noticed meetings to work through a series of topics over the course of the school year. The task force would come up with recommendations for the board to consider for the 2018-19 school year. Some of the topics to be discussed would include alignment of curriculum with California standards, post-secondary transition, parent outreach and engagement, career pathways and electives, community partnerships and

Angus Clark, president of Corridor Power, said the lot would remain free for residents and parking will be available when the spots are not in use. Blakespear said the subcommittee should ensure these rules are enforced, and the spots should also be available for parking when not in use and during select city events. She also recommended escalated remedies for a breach of contract should anything go awry. However, Blakespear said, she's generally on board with the project.

I want to thank everybody for considering this, listening to us and moving forward.” The board will be holding a special education workshop before its next meeting on Aug. 17. said. There will also be 30 plug points for electric bicycles in the lot. In an agreement with Corridor Power, which was first approved by the planning commission in June after being evaluated, the city will collect about $57,432 in total license fees for the use of the city's property over the course of three years. The charging stations will cost about $3 to use for 20 minutes, which is the average charging time, according to Corridor Power. Encinitas residents and employees will be issued free cards to use when they need to charge their cars. Staff did not give dates on when the charging stations and drivers’ lounge building will be available or when construction will begin.
