Parents, district to tackle special ed with task force

BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District held a special education workshop on Aug. 17, providing a general overview of the state of the program as a whole and sharing goals for the future with the board and a group of highly-engaged parents. Mark Miller, the associate superintendent of administrative services, said this year San Dieguito is prepared to evaluate the special

SAN DIEGUITO UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS education curriculum, improve transition planning for students at all levels and to increase parent participation. The parents will be involved in the district’s recentlyapproved special education task force that will take a look at a variety of topics in order to craft a long-term strategic plan. The group is expected to begin meeting this

fall. “I think we can all agree that the last couple months in this district have been quite a turbulent ride. Often it is with these turbulent times that produce learning on what could’ve been done differently,” Miller said. Miller said district staff has heard numerous concerns from special

Following rescue, lifeguards issue safety tips to beachgoers BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Encinitas lifeguards are warning beachgoers to always be aware of their surroundings after a boy rescued a girl at Moonlight Beach last month. Thirteen-year-old Sean Golding, a Boy Scout, carried 10-year-old Jacinda "JC" Marko out of the water to safety July 10 when she was having an epileptic seizure. The Encinitas Lifeguard Division sees about a half-dozen similar cases each year, but most don't end positively, said Larry Giles, a marine safety captain in the department. He said it's important for beach visitors to always check their surroundings because

“

We're looking for qualified men and women who want to come down and be challenged.

”

Larry Giles, marine safety captain when there are large crowds on the sand or in the water, it creates a "wall effect" for the lifeguards. "If you have a lifeguard sitting on the beach and there are 400 to 500 people in front of that lifeguard tower, there's a shadow area on the other side of those folks," Giles explained. "If somebody just slips below the water in those areas, like this little girl did, it's really difficult and almost impossible to detect unless you're inside those massive areas inside that

surf line." On the day Sean rescued JC, Giles said the beach had 4,000 to 5,000 people on the sand and in the water. The department takes proactive measures like positioning lifeguards in positions they normally aren't and placing them on on-land vehicles and in boats when the beaches experience a large density of visitors or condition-driven situations, Giles said.

BY KAREN BILLING The city of Carlsbad is back in discussions to manage the San Dieguito Union High School District’s La Costa Valley fields. The 28-acre parcel on Calle Barcelona in Carlsbad, home to two baseball fields, a softball field and three soccer and lacrosse fields, was built using funding from Proposition AA and has been open to daily use for the last few months. The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) had been planning to approve a contract with Carlsbad to manage the fields but following the SDUHSD board’s July meeting, the message from the SDUHSD was that Carlsbad had withdrawn its offer. After seeing an article reporting that message in this newspaper, the city of Carlsbad reached out to say the district was mistaken and they did want to continue working with the SDUHSD. At the Aug. 17 SDUHSD board meeting, SDUHSD Associate Superintendent of Business Services Tina Douglas said that there appeared to be a “communication gap.” SEE FIELDS, A22

Encinitas to move toward district elections following lawsuit threat BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Encinitas will move toward implementing district elections, following a litigation threat from an attorney representing rights for minorities. The Encinitas City Council on Aug. 16 announced after closed session that it will direct staff to begin the hearing process to end its citywide elections and move to district elections. Currently, Encinitas residents are asked to vote for two at-large candidates for city council and one candidate for mayor every two years. In the past, the mayor was a rotating position. Encinitas faced criticism from an attorney who successfully targeted Carlsbad, Oceanside, Poway and Vista to implement

district elections. Attorney Kevin Shenkman threatened Encinitas with a lawsuit if the city did not respond by Sept. 2. “Instead of spending millions of dollars and wasting years in litigation, the Encinitas City Council chose to begin the process of moving our at-large election system to a district system whereby our city council will be elected from districts,” council member Joe Mosca said in his weekly e-mail newsletter. In a four-page letter received by the city on July 20, Shenkman, a Malibu attorney, wrote that Encinitas is diluting the votes of minorities with its current at-large election system and thus has violated the state’s Voting Rights Act of 2001.

Moreover, Shenkman wrote, the city has a long history of hostility toward Latinos as evidenced by the fact that its first mayor repeatedly made racist statements during council meetings in the late 1980s. He said the comments from Marjorie Gaines — who died in 1995 — “likely deterred Latinos from running for City Council for many years after her term.” In his letter, Shenkman noted that Encinitas has a total population that is 13.7 percent Latino, yet has not elected a Latino council member in its history. “The contrast between the significant Latino proportion of the electorate and the total absence of Latinos to be elected to the City Council is telling,” he wrote.

Carlsbad, Oceanside and Vista are all expected to shift to district-based elections in 2018 after being threatened by Shenkman. Encinitas, which incorporated in 1986, has five distinct communities, each with their own characters — Cardiff, Leucadia, Olivenhain, Old Encinitas and New Encinitas — Mayor Catherine Blakespear said in a recent interview with The San Diego-Union Tribune. It is likely that Encinitas will follow the other North County cities by leaving the mayor’s spot an at-large election position and drawing up four districts for the council seats, Blakespear told the Union-Tribune. The San Diego Union-Tribune freelance writer Barbara Henry contributed to this report.

Cardiff School District receives perfect score on bond transparency report Cardiff School District received a perfect score of 100 percent on the San Diego Taxpayers Educational Foundation (SDTEF) Bond Transparency Report for its communication and delivery of information to the public regarding the Measure GG facilities improvement bond approved by community taxpayers last November. The $22 million Measure GG bond program provides funding to rebuild, upgrade, and renovate district facilities, improve energy efficiency, and modernize and enhance student learning environments. Cardiff School District is among 23 school districts in San Diego County that have an active facilities bond program and one of

only nine schools that received a perfect score of 100 percent. Cardiff School District has followed the San Diego County Taxpayers’ Association (SDCTA) recommended best practices, including adopting the guidelines set forth by SDCTA for the required Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee (ICOC) and regularly updating its website with Measure GG information. Access to up-to-date information is vital to transparency and the SDTEF Bond Transparency Report. The SDTEF conducts research on issues relevant to taxpayers, including transparency, and then produces a bond transparency report that rates each school

and its bond program. Its goal is for taxpayers to ensure that voter-approved bond dollars are being spent appropriately. The report is also intended to provide tools for San Diego County school districts to use in the ongoing process of improving transparency with respect to school facilities bond programs. “Cardiff School District is committed to being responsible of Measure GG funds and providing ongoing communication with our community taxpayers on the use of these funds,” said Cardiff School District Superintendent Jill Vinson. “We appreciate this recognition from the San Diego County Taxpayers Association.”

Adding to its communication and transparency, Cardiff School District is holding informational workshops open to the public on the Measure GG facility building plans. The next informational workshop about the rebuilding, upgrading and renovating Cardiff School District under the Measure GG program funds is on Aug. 30 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the auditorium at Cardiff School at 1888 Montgomery Ave, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, 92007. The workshop will be led by Studio E Architects and the District’s administration. All Cardiff-by-the-Sea community members are encouraged to attend. – Submitted press release

Redemption Voyage

Local sailor who survived horrific wreck sets off on solo trek to Hawaii BY JOHN WILKENS welve years after his catamaran ran up on a reef near Tahiti — a wreck that cost him his left leg and could have killed his family — a Rancho Santa Fe real estate investor set sail from San Diego Saturday, Aug. 19, on another long-distance adventure. John Silverwood is headed to Hawaii by himself on what he’s calling a voyage of redemption. “It’s something I need to do, to prove to myself that I can,” he said. “I want to get that shipwreck off my back.” Silverwood, 65, departed from Harbor Island West Marina shortly after 11 a.m. on his 37-foot cutter, Espiritu Santo (“Holy Spirit”). A small crowd of well-wishers, including his wife, Jean, and two of their four children, was there to see him off. He expects it will take about three weeks to sail 2,300 miles to Oahu. It’s a trip filled with potential dangers — storms, other ships, equipment failures — and Silverwood said he’s taken precautions to minimize them. He installed jack lines running from bow to stern that he can attach a safety harness to as he moves around the boat. He has a “go bag” stashed next to the life raft. There are backup batteries for the backup batteries. He said it’s hard to imagine much worse befalling him than what happened in June 2005.

“

I want to get that shipwreck off my back.

”

— John Silverwood

NANCEE E. LEWIS

John Silverwood winches up the main sail before setting off on a solo sailing trip from San Diego to Hawaii aboard the Espiritu Santo Saturday, Aug. 19. Twelve years ago, he lost his left leg when the catamaran he was piloting ran up on a reef near Tahiti. Sailing at night in the dark at the western end of French Polynesia, the family’s 55-foot catamaran smashed into a partially submerged coral atoll called Manuae. What had been a grand, 18-month adventure — scuba diving in Aruba, horseback riding in the Galapagos, hiking in the Andes —

quickly became a desperate fight for survival. The Silverwoods — John, Jean and the children, Ben, then 16; Amelia, 14; Jack, 9; and Camille, 5 — scrambled to get off the Emerald Jane as it was battered against the reef by waves. While John was up front, wrestling with the life raft, the 79-foot-tall

mast fell and its spreaders sliced through his leg at the shin, nearly severing it. The family spent 14 hours huddled on the reef, adjusting the tourniquets on John’s leg, trying to keep his shock and pain at bay and their own hopes up, until they were spotted by a French Navy plane. It had been summoned to the area by a signal from an emergency beacon on the boat. Silverwood spent two weeks in a Tahitian hospital. Eventually his leg was amputated above the knee. He walks now with a prosthesis. The family’s saga has been the subject of newspaper and magazine articles, television docudramas and a book John and Jean Silverwood wrote called “Black Wave,” published in 2008. Now there’s talk of a feature film. In the years since the accident, Silverwood has continued to sail, but it’s been mostly short trips around San Diego and up the California coast. Five years ago, he tried to sail to Hawaii with his son Jack in the Pacific Cup race but had to turn around after about 800 miles because of illness. He’s going this time by himself because he sees it as the only way to make a point. “I was the captain of a shipwreck that almost killed my wife, my children, and me,” he said. “If I don’t go solo, everyone thinks the handicapped guy just sat there while somebody else did all the work.” SEE VOYAGE, A20

Seany Foundation to host first bereavement camp BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A San Diego-based nonprofit that has for about a decade provided a chance at normalcy for children going through cancer is now offering support for people who have lost loved ones to the disease. The Seany Foundation, which was started by a North County couple in 2006 after the passing of their son Sean Robins, will host its first bereavement camp Aug. 25 to Aug. 27 in Julian. However, the camp — called Ryan Strong, named after longtime camper Ryan Wilcox who died last year — is not meant to be a place where families dwell on their losses. Instead, it offers coping support and grievance counseling. “This is new territory for us,” said Robby Medina, the Seany Foundation’s Chief Operations Officer and a bone cancer survivor. “This is the first session that’s going to address the remaining family members after a kid or a parent has passed. We’re not exactly sure how it’s going to go, but it’ll probably be pretty rough.” He said 20 families, which equate to more than 100 people, will take part in the camp. He believes the campers will be going through a “wide range of the stages of grief” because some have been dealing with their feelings of loss for a while, and others recently lost their family members. Psychologists will also be available to offer support. “It will de-emphasize the idea of a therapeutic weekend,” Robby said, adding

Children attend a past Seany Foundation camp. the camp will have activities such as wall climbing and arts and crafts. “Our camps bring people together who have a similar sort of experience but we de-emphasize cancer. We offer them opportunities to talk about it but it oftentimes is just very organic and informal.” Like all of the Seany Foundation’s camps, the bereavement one will be offered free of charge for all campers and volunteers. CEO Mitchell Robins, whose son Sean is the namesake for the foundation, started the nonprofit in 2006 with his wife Amy Robins after Sean died of Ewing Sarcoma, a bone cancer.

While going through various rounds of treatments and remissions between ages 16 and 22 before ultimately passing in November 2006, Sean missed out on some quality of life, his father said. However, in his senior year of high school at Francis Parker, Sean was able to act as Daddy Warbucks in his school’s production of “Annie,” was the homecoming king, got accepted into Northwestern University and helped his baseball team win the championship game. Both Sean and his sister wished they had camps like these to go to, Mitchell said. After Sean died, Mitchell — a certified

Then, after discovering the American Cancer Society (ACS) was going to close all of its camps after 32 years of operation, he knew what he had to do.

An Adventure in Listening

UCSD’s Stuart Collection adds a musical piece BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT t’s alive! “The Wind Garden,” the latest addition to UC San Diego’s Stuart Collection, is different from the 18 other site-specific artworks that enliven the 1,200-acre campus. Created by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Luther Adams, it is not a fixed entity, but an ever-changing soundscape performed — with the help of sophisticated software — by a chorus of wired eucalyptus trees. Due to variable winds, times of day and weather conditions, what you hear when you stroll through the grove outside the Mandell Weiss Theatre is different every time. At the official opening Aug. 7, Adams and his team of sound, data, and system designers were happy to talk with visitors about the piece. “It’s a musical composition in the form of a garden, played not by instrumentalists, but by the wind,” said Adams, who has been working on the piece — his first outdoor installation — for years. “Each tree is a cluster of sounds,” explained sound designer/programmer Jem Altieri. “As the day goes on, the tonality shifts from major to minor.

■ The 19-piece Stuart Collection (wholly funded by individual donors and foundations) began in 1981 with a $1.5 million gift from an art-loving Rancho Santa Fe businessman, James Stuart DeSilva. Thanks to Mary Looker, a longtime Friend of the Stuart Collection, it now has a million-dollar endowment for public art on UCSD campus. ■ According to Mary Beebe, director of the Stuart Collection since its beginnings, “This is not about decorating the campus, it’s about providing experiences for people to think about.” Decisions are made by an advisory board of art professionals, and, finally, the university chancellor, but it’s Beebe who finds the artists, helps with their proposals, runs them by the board, and does the all-important fundraising.

Sara disappeared from her home, her bedroom window screen was cut and very little was taken other than her pet baby python snake. Her parents do not know if she left on her own or was lured by someone she met online. “We need to know that our daughter is alive and we need to get her home,” said her mother Eveline Bustillos.

KAABOO executive shares insight on festival BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY KAABOO Del Mar returns to the fairgrounds for its third consecutive year from Sept. 15 to Sept. 17. This time around, 70 musical acts such as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, P!nk, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Muse and Weezer will grace the event’s stages. The festival will also include works from visual artists, food from craft vendors and more experiences. Jason Felts, chief brand and marketing officer of KAABOO, who now lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Del Mar, answered questions about the festival’s past, present and future. For more information about the festival, visit kaaboodelmar.com. Jason Felts

What are you looking forward to most this year at KAABOO?

Bask [Day Club]! I love our differentiated concept of having a Vegas-style day club onsite at KAABOO near the Grandview Stage. This is such a fun party zone. It offers views of the stage while hanging out poolside. I think it’s an amazing way to wrap up the summer with friends.

Is there anything new or different this year that fans can be excited about? We have relocated a few of the stages to

improve the onsite traffic flow to allow guests to move around more freely. We’ve added a new experience called Club Elevate, a late-night dance club. This experience will include live DJs and the option to purchase table seating with bottle service. And, we have added additional infrastructure to our rideshare area. By partnering with Uber, we are ensuring a seamless experience this year for our guests when arriving and departing.

Do you have any favorite memories of KAABOO?

My favorite KAABOO memory so far was watching Jimmy Buffett hanging out in the crowd as just another guest dancing and enjoying the music of another band performing. I found it so flattering that one of our headlining artists decided to come back the day after he performed to enjoy the KAABOO experience himself as a guest.

How would you say KAABOO has evolved over the years?

KAABOO will continue to change and get even better each year as we refine our special formula for our world-class event. This year, one of the biggest changes is moving the Grandview Stage into the east parking lot. We have also taken steps to improve our guest experience by offering new cashless wristbands that will enable guests to move through our bar and food lines faster. And, we have made improvements to our rideshare program, in partnership with UBER, to provide guests with a dedicated waiting area that offers food and drinks,

entertainment, and even bathrooms. We had record-breaking Uber use last year and are excited to be offering an expanded footprint for an improved experience.

and management team at the Del Mar Fairgrounds that share our vision for creating a world-class live music event, it is an ideal location.

What attracted you to Del Mar for KAABOO years ago?

What do you envision for the festival’s future?

Why does Del Mar continue to be the ideal place for KAABOO?

What would you say sets KAABOO apart from other music festivals?

KAABOO is really shifting the paradigm for festivals. I am an avid festival-goer and I attend dozens of festivals each year. You really feel a difference when you’re at KAABOO. From the diverse lineup, to the incredible art exhibitions, to the fact that you will never see a port-a-potty, KAABOO has an upscale feeling which I believe the residents of Del Mar and all of San Diego appreciate.

The Del Mar Fairgrounds is a great partner and the venue lends itself to our vision. With the infrastructure in place and a staff

We look forward to having a long-term relationship with this venue. Each year, we will continue to spread the word about the uniqueness of KAABOO and beauty of the area by inviting guests, both local and worldwide, to enjoy our three-day event.

Encinitas gets a bit of Culture Culture Brewing Company is Encinitas’ first craft beer tasting room BY KAREN BILLING ulture Brewing Company is now pouring in Encinitas as the city’s first craft beer tasting room opened up on Aug. 2. Locals can enjoy a tasty Session IPA and the ocean breeze in the rustic concrete space on Highway 101 with 20 rotating taps. Owners John Niedernhofer, Steve Ragan and Dennis Williams opened the first Culture brewery and tasting room in Solana Beach in 2013, followed by a satellite tasting room in Ocean Beach in 2014. Culture’s goal has always been to create more than just great beer — with monthly art shows, local pop-up shops, film premieres, fundraisers and more. How was the idea for Culture formed and what is your mission with the brewery and tasting rooms? Culture was started by a couple of guys that enjoyed home brewing so much they decided to take it to the next level. Many of the beers we brew are still based on the same recipes the owners came up with at the very beginning. Our brewers are also given a lot of room to experiment and they're always coming up with amazing new brews. The goal from the start was always to make amazing craft beer that was approachable and accessible. We don't come up with goofy names for every beer. If we brew a Brown Ale, that beer is simply called Brown Ale on the menu. The owners are

L EAAL! ME D

definitely craft-beer-purists in that way. The goal of the tasting room is to have the best staff in the beer industry. Each of our servers is cicerone certified so that they can easily and clearly communicate every little detail of the beers to our customers. The hope is that you'll leave the tasting room with more beer knowledge and appreciation than when you arrived. How has Culture evolved since opening? Over the past nearly five years we've grown closer and closer with our surrounding communities. At this time we do not distribute, so you won't find our beer in any bar or bottle shop. The only way to enjoy Culture beer is to have a pint at one of our three tasting rooms. This allows us to become hyper-local in the way that we approach the community. We don't have to worry about appealing to the entire state or the entire country. The people that are enjoying our beers are in San Diego, which allow us to focus on supporting local art, local businesses, local food, and to help raise funds for local nonprofits. That's how each little beach town we become part of influences so much of what the Culture brand has become. Each tasting room has the same beers on tap, but each has its own unique personality that the community has influenced. What made you want to bring Culture to Encinitas? Our brewery and first tasting room is in Solana Beach, so we're close neighbors. Everyone loved the town and we knew it would be the perfect spot for a tasting room. What about your beer makes it stand out?

Friends enjoy Culture brews at the new Encinitas tasting room.

One aspect of our beer that make it stand out is the gluten reduction. All of our beers are gluten reduced below 10 parts per million, meaning even someone with a gluten intolerance could have a pint. Many people confuse the difference between gluten-free beers and gluten-reduced beers. Gluten-free beers are not made with the typical beer ingredients like barley or wheat, so gluten is never part of the equation. Our beers are called gluten reduced because they are made with barley and wheat, but we then remove the gluten using an enzyme. Any interesting releases/collaborations coming up? We are getting ready to release our latest collaboration with Duckfoot Brewing Co. They're a really amazing brewery that also does gluten-reduced beers, so it was a perfect fit. This Friday we will be releasing an Apricot Saison that we put together with them.

Does the Encinitas tasting room plan to bring in art shows and music events like the other locations? Culture takes a lot of pride in supporting local artists. We do a First Friday Gallery Opening in each of our tasting rooms every month featuring a new local artist. This month we are lucky enough to have the photography legend, J Grant Brittain on the wall. On Sept. 12, Culture will host Doggie Date Night from 6-9 p.m. The brewery has teamed up with The Drake Center for Veterinary Care to help out Goof Dog! Autism Companions. The tasting room will screen the classic movie “Homeward Bound” and there will be raffle prizes and a doggie photo booth, all supporting the local organization. For more information, check out culturebrewingco.com. The tasting room is located at 629 S. Coast Highway 101.

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - AUGUST 25, 2017 - PAGE A9

Former LLC baseball star Mickey Moniak adjusting to pro ball BY GIDEON RUBIN ven in one of the nation’s most competitive regions, high school baseball was almost too easy for Mickey Moniak. Moniak made the varsity team at La Costa Canyon as a freshman and hit .444 (156 for 351) in a four-year career that included him leading the Mavericks to two Open Division championship games and vaulted him to elite status as one of the nation’s most highly regarded prep stars. The first overall pick of the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2016 amateur draft is now wrapping up his first full year of pro ball and, for the first time in his life, the game Moniak dominated in local circles hasn’t been so easy for him of late. Moniak is batting .241 (102 for 423) with the Class-A Lakewood (New Jersey) BlueClaws. His average has dropped every month after hitting .284 (23 for 81) in April. He was hitting .136 (8 for 59) through his first 15 games in August. At 19, Moniak is one of the younger players in the South Atlantic League. It’s his first year away from home and the first time he’s playing a full 140-game season. And it’s also the first time he’s ever experienced failure – something those in player development circles preach as being one of the most important parts of the development process. “It’s been different,” Moniak said in a telephone interview from Lakewood. “Growing up you really don’t deal with a lot of failure, especially as much as you do in professional baseball. Guys are here for a reason.” Moniak isn’t panicking. He’s focusing on the

Brother Collin, right, mother Heather, and sister Jordan touch La Costa Canyon baseball player Mickey Moniak, in June 2016 after it was announced that the Philadelphia Phillies selected Moniak as the No. 1 overall pick in the MLB draft. process, not the numbers, listening to coaches and roving instructors in the Phillies’ organization. “There’s nothing that can really prepare you for a 140-game season until you’ve been through it,” Moniak said. “I think going through it this first time has been a huge learning process, just preparing me for further along in my career.” Moniak said his experience at LCC played a big role in his development, noting that

Mavericks coach Justin Machado created a winning culture that’s given him confidence to meet challenges and handle pressure. He also credits Machado with opening up the team’s training facility to professional players looking for a practice field in the offseason. Moniak said he picked up pointers from current and former major leaguers Stephen Strasburg, James Shields and Heath Bell, among others. “It was huge for me, just being around a head coach like Machado who held you accountable

and made sure you were you were on top of your stuff but gave you the freedom to be your own player, and grind it out,” Moniak said. Moniak still values the friendships and camaraderie from his playing days at LCC. He said the program emphasized playing for something bigger than yourself, something he’s tried to bring to his professional career. “I think high school for me was more about playing with my friends and enjoying baseball and not putting too much pressure on myself,” Moniak said. “There were a lot of personal accomplishments that I achieved during my high school career, but I’d say the highlight would just be playing baseball with my friends every day, just going out there and enjoying the game. “Learning to play the game the right way prepared me for where I’m at today.” Moniak admits there has been added pressure playing pro ball. It’s something he knows comes with the territory after receiving a signing bonus worth approximately $6.1 million, according to published reports. Playing in the backyard of a parent club in an East Coast market has brought more scrutiny too. He’s learning to tune it out. “Obviously, being the No. 1 pick there’s going to be some added pressure,” Moniak said. “Maybe I get looked at differently than other guys would, but I’ve always been the guy to put pressure aside and just go out there and have fun. Being my first full year you feel that pressure here and there, but I’ve learned to put that aside and realize that the outside pressure isn’t going to help me succeed in this line of work.”

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - AUGUST 25, 2017 - PAGE A11

Almost a decade after ‘Idol,’ David Cook still on victory lap BY ROB LEDONNE t was 10 years ago next summer when a virtually unknown singer-songwriter living in Tulsa, Okla., auditioned on a lark for a certain reality music television show. Little did he know that try-out for “American Idol” would lead David Cook to later be crowned champion, an achievement that has continued to reverberate throughout the rest of his life. “I don’t feel like it’s been 10 years, but sometimes it looks it,” says Cook with a laugh, thinking back on the experience that shot him to nationwide fame. “My outlook on Idol has been pretty consistent. It was an opportunity and platform and I’m internally thankful that I was in a position to take advantage of that. In that context it’s been nothing but a blessing.” However, Cook also points out: “There’s always going to be, as a byproduct of what it is, people who write you off because of it and that’s a bummer. But the people who do that are denying themselves to find something that might mean something to them.” The career that Cook kicked off on what was then the single highest-rated television show in the United States (Cook reigned supreme over runner-up David Archuleta) garnered him a nationwide audience and subsequent fanbase. It’s that cross-country string of fans that Cook is tapping into for his latest tour, slated to roll into Solana Beach’s Belly Up Tavern on Aug. 31; a gig Cook says he’s looking forward to, considering the last time he was in San Diego was under different circumstances.

“

I believe in keeping your head down and doing your work for as well as you can, as hard as you can, for as long as you can.

”

— David Cook

David Cook will perform at the Belly Up Aug. 31. “A couple years ago I repelled down a building in San Diego in an event called Over the Edge,” says the singer. “It was for a charity I’m involved with called ABC2 to accelerate finding a cure for brain cancer.” For Cook, the charity hits close to home. In the years following his win on “American

FROM UCSD, A4 grove breathing.” He spoke of the musical grove as a kind of chapel. “There’s the central path, and then there’s the apse,” Adams said. “Sit and listen for awhile, and you’ll hear little melodies and points of sound all over the place.” There are benches strategically placed to encourage deep listening. Even when the wind is up, the sounds are not loud, so the more attentive you are, the more you hear. “My work is about listening to nature,” Adams said. “I hope the piece encourages you to slow down and listen in a way you don’t usually do.” There’s another singing tree piece in the Stuart Collection — Terry Allen’s 1986 “Trees” — but that one involves pre-recorded music and readings. “The Wind Garden,” on the other hand, is what Stuart Collection director Mary Beebe calls “a live response to the immediate territory.” Beebe said she and project manager Mathieu Gregoire considered adding something musical to the Collection a decade ago. At

Idol,” the singer was just as focused on his career in music as he was on his ailing brother Adam, who passed away from the disease in 2009. The loss left a lasting impact on Cook, perhaps giving him added perspective and additional perseverance to stay afloat himself in a fickle industry.

That navigation of his career has all led up to the release of his latest single dubbed “Gimme Heartbreak,” which was released in June and marks a departure. “Starting actually with ‘Gimme Heartbreak,’ I tried to write a little differently where I wanted it to go more in a software, synthesizer direction,” said Cook, who’s known for front guitar-driven rock tracks. “My inspiration was bands like Nine Inch Nails and Massive Attack, but to try to bring a more cinematic pop element and combine that with other influences from artists like Halsey and Aurora. I wanted to take all of those inspirations and wrap them around what I normally do. It was different for me because I didn’t want to focus so much on narrative and wanted to find as much imagery as possible.” When it comes to Cook’s stage show, fans should expect a wide range of tracks, from newer songs such as “Gimme Heartbreak,” to “Idol”-era favorites like “Light On,” his 2008 debut single from his self-titled debut album co-written by the late Chris Cornell. It later reached number 4 on Billboard’s Top 40. What’s Cook’s secret to remaining a viable artist 10 years after winning the show that would change his life? He says it simply: “I believe in keeping your head down and doing your work for as well as you can, as hard as you can, for as long as you can.” David Cook rolls into Solana Beach’s Belly Up on Thursday Aug. 31.

The Stuart Collection’s dynamic duo: director Mary Beebe and project manager Mathieu Gregoire an on-campus concert, they were drawn to “The Light That Fills the World,” a shimmering orchestral piece by John Luther Adams. They decided he could fill their bill. “He came here in 2008, and we went all over the campus,” Beebe said. “At first, he was going to do several works, in different places — all natural, none of them using electricity. Once he chose the grove, instead of 32 loudspeakers, he originally wanted 32 musical instruments.”

Said Gregoire, “John’s an extraordinarily hardworking artist, deeply committed to his ideas and research and wonderfully experimental. He’s put hundreds and hundreds of hours into this project.” Beebe chimed in, “I absolutely love that it makes you want to listen. I’ve heard sounds in there that I’ve never heard before.” Stop by “The Wind Garden” anytime and hear for yourself.

Members of the following Assistance League chapters were on-hand to guide children and parents/guardians during this event: Rancho San Dieguito, North Coast, Inland North County, Saddleback

Valley, Long Beach and Capistrano Valley. \ All of the children went home with new tops, pants, sweatshirts, underwear, socks, hygiene kits and a voucher for new shoes. Assistance League is an all-volunteer, nonprofit, nonpolitical, nonsectarian organization founded to recognize the potential of volunteers in helping others attain a better, more meaningful life. Today, 120 chapters with more than 25,000 members nation-wide address the emotional and physical needs of children and adults of all ages.

Muses of The Old Globe exhibit opens Sept. 1 at Women’s Museum of California Explore the stories of extraordinary women who make up the history of the Old Globe Theater this fall at the Women’s Museum of California. Muses of The Old Globe opens to the public Sept. 1 and runs until Oct. 29 at the Women’s Museum in Liberty Station. There have been many female players in the history of the Old Globe since its beginning at the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition, including directors, actors, playwrights, craftspeople, and business leaders. This exhibit will highlight just some of the women who have performed their roles and left their mark at the Globe. Themes of Shakespeare, strong community involvement, and artistic adaptation are unifying threads and from its beginnings, women have played a strong role in the Globe’s story. This exhibit is curated by Darlene Davies, historian of the Old Globe Theater. Davies has been involved with The Old Globe since 1951, acting, writing, archiving, and speaking about the treasured theatre since that time. She has published many articles about San Diego, particularly about Balboa Park and The Old Globe. Having served on the City Advisory Board on Women and on the County Commission on the Status of Women, as well as the Globe Board of Directors, Davies has now combined two areas of interest, connecting stories of women and The Old Globe for this exhibition Visit www.womensmuseumca.org

omic-Con is about more than costumes, movie stars and sci-fi television and film. Attendees looking for the education component at this year’s mega-convention in San Diego were treated to a variety of panels covering a range of topics. Many themes centered on how comics and graphic novels can be used to improve reading skills from kindergarten age through adulthood. Other themes explored how comic books and graphic novels can enhance learning and make core academic subjects, such as lessons in science and history, more interesting and accessible. Panels also featured experts working to prevent bullying, help geeky kids feel more confident and self-assured, and empower women and girls. In “Raising Fankids: Teaching Young Geeks to be Self-Confident and Successful,” panelists included two ninth-grade students and two teachers – all of whom proudly called themselves geeks. The children, Tatti Che and Rafe Gerson, were poised, articulate and insightful. Gerson said the reason geeky kids often lack self-confidence is in part because their achievements have not been recognized. To validate them, schools and teachers must acknowledge them first. “Traditional schools prefer to recognize athletics over academics,” he said. Schools don’t do enough for geeks, Gerson said. “They don’t make the geeks feel cherished.” Many schools allow kids to create their own clubs, which adults on the panel said was a good trend, but Gerson said they should do more. He said adult-created clubs by teachers would attract more kids and give the clubs more status. This comment was particularly relevant. If kids create a Harry Potter Club, it’s likely to garner less interest than if a teacher organized and created the same club.

When asked about fitting in with other groups, Gerson said that belonging implies you must conform. It’s better, he said, to accept yourself for who you are. And who you are, he pointed out, is not necessarily introverted. Saying that geeky kids prefer solitude is false. “It now means you’re tech savvy,” he said. Che said she learned to be self-confident by accepting and embracing who she is. Teacher Pasquale Piro said it is unusual for Che and Gerson to be so self-confident as geeks at such a young age, noting that it didn’t happen to him until college when he realized at last that there was no point in faking it. “I didn’t get super-popular by pretending to like baseball,” Piro said. Gunn’s Guardians James Gunn, director of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” wrote in May on his Facebook page that as a young boy he didn’t fit in and had suicidal thoughts. “I never felt like I belonged, had an incredibly difficult time connecting to other people, and, despite having love around me, I had an impossible time experiencing it, or taking it in,” he wrote. Comics and art were his passions, and that saved him. It’s a message of hope for other kids in the world who feel isolated and misunderstood. The Guardians, Gunn wrote, are “a group of heartbroken misfits whose lives have been bereft of tenderness and connection and who have a nearly impossible time trusting themselves or others. But they're learning, one step at a time.” His message to kids who feel alienated was simple: “You are not alone.” Superheroes, in real life At the “Superhero IRL: End Bullying” panel, executive producer of “The Big Bang Theory” Bill

www.encinitasadvocate.com Prady described the popular television show as being about people who are different. He said pop culture can be a powerful voice, saying, “Every pop culture phenomenon was created by someone who was bullied.” The panel included author Carrie Goldman who is helping to develop curriculum to end bullying for the grades 6-8 middle school years. The curriculum – which teaches English, social science, history and science through stories kids love – uses pop culture to impart core lessons of empathy and compassion. Goldman works with actress and panel moderator Chase Masterson, who founded the Pop Culture Hero Coalition [http://www.popculturehero.org/] which strives to end bullying and empower disaffected youth to stand strong and embrace their own superhero abilities. The panel featured Star Trek star Nichelle Nichols who said she was told by Martin Luther King, Jr. that she needed to continue in her role on the original show as the famous Lt. Uhura, that she was an important role model for African-Americans and women. Also joining the panel was Andrew Aydin, policy adviser to U.S. Representative John Lewis and co-author with Lewis of Lewis’s autobiographical graphic novel trilogy “March.” “March” details Lewis’s history and his role in the 1960s civil rights movement alongside Martin Luther King, Jr. Aydin told the audience to fight against discrimination in all its forms through peaceful, orderly, disciplined and nonviolent protests. Lewis was once again present for a panel at Comic-Con, where the real-life superhero and civil rights icon took a look back at the accomplishments of the “March” trilogy and how it’s inspiring new generations with peaceful ways to fight injustice. “March” is a terrific way to introduce young children to the history of the civil rights movement. Woman power Women and girls took center stage at this year’s Comic-Con. Wonder Woman and the newest Doctor Who (gasp! a woman!) were all the buzz. Panels focusing on sexism and female power struggles in the media dug deeper. At the panel titled “What Rebellions Are Built On,” female panelists discussed deeply ingrained misogyny and white male domination in comics and film. SEE EDUCATION MATTERS, A21

TO YOUR HEALTH

Prepare your child for a healthy return to school

t may feel like summer vacation just started, but many kids in San Diego will be heading back to school in the next few weeks. Before they do, there are several steps parents can take now to help get the year off to a healthy start. Here are a few items for your back-to-school checklist: Make sure immunizations are up to date All children under 18 years of age who enter a California school or day care for the first time, or transfer between schools, must present a written immunization record showing that they have received all required vaccines. A 2016 state law no longer permits parents to refuse mandatory immunizations for their children

based on personal or religious beliefs; only children with medical conditions that put them at risk are exempt. A written exemption statement from a licensed physician is required. Requirements have changed in recent years, so check with your physician to make sure your children are up to date. Immunizations required to attend kindergarten and transitional kindergarten: • Diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTP) • Polio • Hepatitis B • Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) • Varicella (Chickenpox) Immunizations required for seventh grade:

• Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (Tdap) • Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) While not required, these immunizations are recommended: • One dose against meningococcal disease (brain or blood infection) at age 11 or 12 and a booster dose at age 16 • The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine at age 11 or 12 to protect against the HPV virus, which can cause cancer. • Yearly immunization against the flu virus “Vaccinations are important to prevent diseases in the individual and to keep the whole community

The Country Friends presents ‘2017 Art of Fashion’ Sept. 14

KELLEY CARLSON

Collected crossed the finish line first, a half-length in front of his stablemate, the fast-closing Arrogate at the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic Aug. 19.

Collected defeats Arrogate to win $1 million TVG Pacific Classic Trainer Bob Baffert won the Grade I, $1 million TVG Pacific Classic on Saturday, Aug. 19, but not with the horse that many people expected. It was Collected who crossed the finish line first, a half-length in front of his stablemate, the fast-closing Arrogate. Accelerate — who conquered Arrogate earlier in the meet — was 3 3/4 lengths farther back in third. Collected completed the 1 1/4-mile race on the dirt in 2:00.70 under jockey Martin Garcia. “Arrogate, at least he tried today,” Baffert said of his champion horse. “He’s getting there, but I think that when I ran him in the San Diego (Handicap on July 22, when he finished fourth), it messed up his psyche a little bit. I don’t think I have a problem bringing him back in the

Breeders’ Cup Classic. But he’s got to be fresh, just like Collected came in here fresh. And Collected is a very good horse.” The 4-year-old Collected is owned by Speedwell Stable, the nom de course of the Houston-based partnership of Peter and Ann Flour and Kane C. Weiner. Also Saturday, Dream Dancing nosed out Beau Recall to clinch the Grade I, $300,000 Del Mar Oaks, and Hunt continued to show his affinity for the seaside oval’s turf course with a victory in the Grade II, $250,000 Del Mar Handicap. The rest of the stakes winners for the week were Blackjackcat (Grade II, $200,000 Del Mar Mile), Tribalist ($105,070 Green Flash Handicap) and Responsibleforlove ($80,980 CTT & TOC Handicap). — By Kelley Carlson

FROM VOYAGE, A3 As someone who has sailed most of his life — “It’s in my blood,” he said — he’s looking forward to the peace and tranquility he finds in long days and nights on the water. And to the challenge. “When you strip away all the distractions of modern life,” he said, “it’s just you and the boat and the wind, and it’s your responsibility to make it work.” If he’s successful, he’d like to be an inspiration to other amputees. “Maybe they’ll say, ‘If that 65-year-old guy can do it, I need to get up and do something myself,’” he said. He’s also hoping to raise money through the trip for GodSwell

Sailing, a Christian-oriented nonprofit organization he started that takes people with disabilities and life-threatening illnesses out at sea as a form of therapy. The funds would be used to buy a larger boat, a catamaran. As he and friends from his Bible-study group readied the boat Saturday morning, Silverwood said he knows bad things could happen again. “It’s a boat, right? Murphy’s Law. Murphy was probably a sailor.” Mechanical problems had already pushed his departure back two days. But he said he was ready, and he seemed eager to go. His wife said he has her blessing. “It’s something he needs to do,” she said. “I’m OK with it.”

• Felony grand theft (theft from building) - 300 N block 101, noon • Felony assault with a deadly weapon (not firearm) - 1500 block Leucadia Boulevard, 6:50 a.m. • Misdemeanor possession of controlled substance paraphernalia - 100 block Solana Hills Drive, 12:30 a.m. • Misdemeanor use/under the influence of controlled substance - 100 block Solana Hills Drive, 12:30 a.m. Aug. 18 • Misdemeanor drunk in public: alcohol, drugs, combo or toluene - 300 block Santa Fe Drive, 4:02 p.m. • Vehicle break-in/theft - 200 block

She climbed on board for last-minute photos and hugs with him. So did son Jack and daughter Camille. “He’s finally going to get it out of his system,” Jack said. The Rev. Willie Briscoe led a farewell prayer. Then the lines were untied and Silverwood was off. The plan was for him to sail up the coast to Oceanside and pull into the harbor there for a final check of everything on the boat. Then on to Hawaii. “A shipwreck like the one we had leaves a mark on everyone,” Silverwood said. “Why it is that I still love to sail, I don’t know. But I do.” — John Wilkens is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

FROM KABOO, A7 KAABOO truly appears to a more mature demographic. We often have multiple generations enjoying the event together. Also, KAABOO’s art program is another substantial differentiator. Our art program is more robust than most festivals with both the large-scale onsite murals and the full contemporary art exhibition inside ARTWORK. One other major differentiator is all of the experiences on-site – KAABOO is truly more than just music. Our comedy experience, Humor Me, is an indoor, seated comedy club. Our Bask Day Club is comparable to a Vegas-style day club with CLUB Elevate as the nighttime equivalent. The culinary spread in PALATE is also very different. At KAABOO, we strive to have a wide assortment of gourmet food and craft libations available, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. Our PALATE experience really is a mini food and beverage festival within the greater KAABOO event co-mingled within the ARTWORK experience. I am personally excited about the dessert options, as well.

FROM EDUCATION MATTERS, A18 Check out the Hawkeye Initiative, where men are drawn in place of female figures in comics, to illustrate the absurdity of the hyper-sexualized female forms – and the physically impossible bodily contortions. It’s a visual eye-opener. I learned about bad-ass Jessica Jones in the panel “Feminist Marvels,” and the fabulous Flip the Script website at the panel “Women Rocking Hollywood” (where the tag line after each vignette is: “This really happened … only the genders have been switched.”). The shifting role of women in comics means, said one panelist, awareness of the ridiculousness of breasts the size of women’s heads and those unnatural female poses that would break a normal person’s back. Science through comics The panel titled “Motivating Your Inner Mad-Kooky-Curious Scientist” discussed how to use comics and graphic novels in science education. One author spoke about her drive to write comics about aircraft and the physics of flight, and another about comic books focusing on robotics and drones. Schools teach science in the abstract, said author Mairghread Scott, but it’s “better to add the human element.” Kids hear that science is hard and that

FROM SCHOOL, A18 safe,” said Michelle Dern, M.D., a pediatrician with Scripps Coastal Medical Center Encinitas. “Currently we’re having a large breakout of whooping cough (pertussis) throughout the state, and it’s affecting kids of all ages.” In babies, she noted, pertussis can be especially serious. “The law that requires seventh- graders to get a pertussis booster shot really helps protect younger kids and babies, because it’s the older kids who are spreading it.” For college-bound teens, most colleges require proof of select vaccines, including Hepatitis B, MMR, and meningitis. There is a new optional vaccine for the Meningitis B strain which has occurred at several colleges in the last few years; ask your doctor if your teen should have it. If you have questions or concerns about

you need to be really smart to understand it, she said. “It’s complicated but understandable.” Approaches like these that present science in graphic form give kids a chance to unravel the intricacies of scientific concepts and make them more accessible. When kids see documentaries or read about famous figures in science, they figure there’s no way they can possibly achieve such greatness. But Bill Gates and Albert Einstein didn’t start from scratch, one author said. They were geniuses, yes, but Gates didn’t invent the computer, she elaborated. Every inventor or discoverer stands on the shoulders of others. R.L. Stine and “Goosebumps” A genius in his own right is “Goosebumps” author R.L. Stine, whose popular series of scary books aimed at 7- to 12-year-olds debuted 25 years ago, in 1992. To date, about 130 “Goosebumps” books have been written by the prolific author who said in his heyday he would crank out about one a month. Stine, who attended Comic-Con for the first time this year, appeared before a crowd of over 630 delighted fans, filling the room to capacity. The hour flew by as Stine entertained the audience with humorous quips and revelations. He said many people ask him where he gets his ideas. “I don’t think of ideas. I think of titles,

and the titles lead me to a story,” he said, acknowledging this is backwards to the way most authors write. As an example, walking by a cheese store once gave him the title “Say Cheese and Die,” and from that a story was born. Stine said comedy and horror are closely linked, observing that people first gasp and then laugh when someone they know sneaks up on them and scares them. Writing horror or science fiction for children, he said, is different than writing for adults. “When I write for kids, they have to know it’s not real,” he said, noting that it’s the opposite for adults who want believable fantasy. Stine attributed his success to word of mouth. “Advertising isn’t what sells,” he said. “It’s kids talking to other kids.” Several audience members told Stine how his books inspired a love of reading in their children and how the books connected their kids to other kids who were “Goosebumps” fans. Changes in education The tools used in the classroom are changing, and learning about the possibilities for the future in education was for many of us just as fascinating as wading through the crush of the amazing cast of characters on the Comic-Con exhibit floor.

having your child immunized, talk to your pediatrician. You may also find helpful information at physician-recommended websites such as shotsforschool.org or sdiz.org, which are run by California and San Diego County health departments, respectively. Consider a check-up If it’s been more than a year since your child’s last physical exam, it’s a good idea to schedule one now. A comprehensive check-up allows your child’s physician to ensure your child is healthy. That could be especially important if they are playing sports or involved in other physical activities. Consider giving adolescent and teenage children time alone with the doctor to discuss any questions or concerns that might be sensitive or embarrassing. Appointment schedules fill up quickly at this time of year, so it’s better to call sooner rather than later.

Get back into school mode Summer break often means staying up later and sleeping in. Make it easier to transition back to a school schedule by having kids start going to bed and waking up at times that reflect their school calendar. This can be especially helpful for teens, whose natural circadian rhythms make them more prone to being night owls than early birds. “In the two weeks or so before they go back, get kids back into the habit of daily reading and limiting screen time,” said Dr. Dern. “Often parents are more lenient about those things during the summer, so it helps to get these changes implemented before the first day of school.” “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

FROM CAMP, A4 weekend, day camp, resident oncology camp, sibling camp, family camp and the bereavement camp. Camps are focused on families dealing with cancer. Most programs are focused on children, including those with the disease and their siblings who often can get lost in the chaos of hospital visits and treatments. Close to 50 percent of the volunteers are also cancer survivors, Mitchell said. Robby, who was a camper at the ACS camps from age 14 when he was diagnosed and a volunteer once he reached 18, said offering these “quality of life” programs for the kids is important. “It’s not uncommon for these kids to lose their entire childhood when they’re diagnosed,” he said. “It’s a natural reaction for friends at school to abandon you, and life just changes immediately. Camp is there to replace that and build a new sense of normalcy for these kids.” Fostering a relationship with other campers in similar situations creates a strong support group and bond, said

Robby, who met his wife and many of his friends while volunteering at the ACS camps. “These kids understand that this is something they’ll be dealing with for a while,” he said. “Building that community that they met at camp is huge. Only we can provide that by building this camp setting and helping them understand that it’s not a death sentence or something they can’t handle. We build a sense of resiliency that they can get through it with these people.” Mitchell added the camps are somewhere anxious parents can feel comfortable dropping off their children. “The biggest pushback we get is the parents who don’t want to let go of the kids,” he said. “When they go and realize the camaraderie and the friendships they make, they become more comfortable.” Each year — through events like a 5K, movie nights, gala and golf tournament — the Seany Foundation raises close to $1 million to support its mission and continue to offer its programs free of charge.

hired administrators with special education experience. As of July 1, the district’s administrative services department was re-organized, with the key focus of integrating general education and special education. Miller said, “All students are general education students first.” “We have also learned that much work needs to be done around communication and in creating a community of inclusion at our school sites,” Miller said. “One common theme that I’ve heard over and over is that our parent community wants to work with the district in providing a road map for special education…The task force has the potential to be an environment where members can learn specifics about special education services, pour into data and meaningfully participate in civil discourse and ultimately draft a plan around special education.” In the workshop, Miller went over how the district’s special education program was performing through various measurements, such as graduation rates, California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) test scores, and post-secondary education and employment. The CAASPP scores are just one measure to mark student progress. Miller said more students with disabilities are taking the general test while a smaller subgroup of students with the most significant cognitive disabilities take the California alternate assessment. This is a change from the state’s old testing program where a larger population took the alternate assessment. Miller showed charts that showed the percentage of students who met or exceed standards on the CAASPP math test were at 26 percent, compared to 15 percent county-wide and 9 percent of the state.

He added it's helpful when beach visitors stay in areas that are staffed by lifeguards, rather than go into more remote locations. And they should always wear the proper equipment, like a leash attached to their board if they are surfing. And while beachgoers could help those nearby in distress, they should be aware of their capabilities first, Giles said. "It's really a judgment call because not everyone can take care of a situation," he said. "It's up to their ability, and they have to determine if they can do something safely without getting injured if they have to act immediately." In the last two years, lifeguard towers have been added between Stonesteps and Moonlight Beach and Sylvia Street, and another one was added at Seabluff in Leucadia, Giles noted. Another lifeguard was also added to the patrol lifeguard trucks. A new Marine Safety Center at Moonlight State Beach is also expected to open later this year and be fully operational by the end of October. Giles said the department is also looking for more lifeguards. The numbers fluctuate each year, with 62 this year compared to 70 last year, not including part-timers. "We're looking for qualified men and women who want to come down and be challenged," Giles said.

Douglas said the SDUHSD was slated to meet with the city next week to discuss the potential contract, “making sure that it’s a win for the district and that our students have first priority of the fields.” According to SDUHSD’s master plan, the site’s athletic facilities will serve La Costa Canyon High School and San Dieguito High School Academy athletic program needs first and provide a community resource until such time that a new middle school is necessary. The fields have not been made available for rent yet and two local Encinitas sports organizations have requested to use the facility. “We have reached out to our schools so we can book their use first but once we do that we will allow those two organizations to submit their facility use request,” Douglas said. SDUHSD Trustee Beth Hergesheimer said she wanted to ensure the district was considering concerns heard from groups such as Encinitas Express Soccer

Miller said that he knows math is an area in which students with disabilities are struggling. “The way the information is presented does not provide enough details to help the board appreciate how poorly La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines are doing, and those two schools have most of the students with disabilities,” said parent Lucile Lynch. “The lack of scrutiny by school site is one of the issues we repeatedly raised in the special education committee meetings this past year.” According to the School Accountability Report Cards, Lynch said only 8 percent of students with disabilities at La Costa Canyon Canyon met or exceed standards and at Torrey Pines, only 5 percent met or exceed standards, meaning 95 percent are not proficient. “We know we have work to do, math is a specific area that we are not scoring well,” said Miller, noting they are working to shore up the program and provide intervention measures. Miller said the district’s measurement of post-secondary education and employment is “flawed” and they need to come up with a better way to track their students’ success. San Dieguito is working to improve students’ transition to post-school life by developing a plan based on students’ strengths, preferences and interests. One parent said that the district needs to be more thoughtful in its assessments of students and take into account their individual skills — “don’t just put them in retail.” Miller also discussed the due process complaint procedure within the district and how, as much as possible, they work to resolve differences. A due process complaint is a written document used to request a hearing related to the identification, evaluation or educational placement of a child with a disability or the provision of a free, appropriate public

education to the child. The complaint can be filed by a parent or the public agency — the district is required to file when the parent refuses to consent to any part of a special education student’s IEP (Individualized Education Program). Of 1,365 students on IEP in San Dieguito, nine parents filed a due process complaint in 2016-17 and the district filed five. In 2016-17, the district spent $162,347 in legal fees and $634,102 in mediation settlements. “To me, we need to find out why parents (or IEP teams) are asking that students be moved out of the district,” Lynch said. “I know many of the families that are no longer in one of the district’s schools and they all seem to have commonalities that could possibly be addressed by this district in order to retain their presence in a district school.” Across the state, due process complaints have increased over the last several years — “Our expectations are higher,” one parent said. “Parents are fighting more because they know that their kids are capable of making improvements and progress.” In concluding the workshop, Miller said he believes that the district is in a good position to work with the community to examine issues and come up with solutions for all students. “I believe now is the time to move forward and not backward,” Miller said. “District staff has committed to improving student learning, we’ve committed to seeking parent input and we’ve committed to community engagement through this newly-formed task force. I believe that continuing pointing of fingers and continued disparaging of the special education staff is not going to be productive. We have listened.” “We want the best for our kids,” said parent Kaya Hogan. “I’m excited for this to work. Let us tell you want we need.”

League, who worried that if Carlsbad managed the fields they might not get needed field space. “(The fields) are for our entire district so we need to make sure there’s a way Encinitas and other local groups don’t get second-class consideration under Carlsbad,” Hergesheimer said. “As long as that’s being considered, that makes me comfortable.” SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill stated that they plan to accommodate all community groups, not just Carlsbad. “Before we enter into any contract with the City of Carlsbad, we should make sure our Prop AA-funded improvements are being used in a manner that is consistent with the Prop AA measure and meets the needs of our student and taxpayer community,” SDUHSD board member Mo Muir said. Muir also reiterated her desire to hold a public forum to hear what the community wants for the property before the district moves forward. “We could have collaboration and partnership instead of something

happening and we have to react, again,” Muir said. Dill said the district has focused its communication on surrounding residents and met with homeowners associations as they will be the most impacted by the field use. Dill said they have discussed the lights, noise and hours of operation in order to be good neighbors in the community. Last month, Dill said that the district would consider approaching the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito and the YMCA to explore other long-term operations agreements, but the priority now will be the agreement with Carlsbad. “We prefer to work with the city as they know and understand how to manage a city park and those fields are more or less like a city park,” Douglas said. “The city is our first option. If the conversations with the city are not successful, we will look at the YMCA and Boys & Girls Clubs as other options.” The fields remain open to the public during the day. The parking lot gate is closed at night.
