Marijuana advocacy group to petition city BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A group of marijuana advocates is planning to circulate a petition aiming to let the voters decide how the substance should be handled in Encinitas, superseding a decision the city council has been working on for months. The San Diego-based Association of Cannabis Professionals is looking to gather enough signatures to place a local initiative on the ballot regarding how marijuana should be regulated, according to a letter sent to city

staff on Aug. 22. It is also seeking to file similar petitions in Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, Chula Vista and Santee, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. In 2014, Encinitas voters rejected a similar ballot measure from the same group, according to Mayor Catherine Blakespear. But in 2016, Encinitas residents passed Prop. 64 with 65 percent voting for legal recreational marijuana. Encinitas' marijuana subcommittee,

Council moves to begin districting process BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Encinitas residents have one word for an out-of-the-area lawyer trying to force the city into district elections: no. But the city council, seemingly stuck between a rock and a hard place, was swayed by too many risks, including the loss of as much as six figures or more from the general fund. It voted unanimously at its Aug. 30 meeting to begin the motions to comply with the demands of Santa Monica-based attorney Kevin Shenkman. Shenkman — who successfully targeted Carlsbad, Oceanside, Poway and Vista to

implement district elections — accused Encinitas of being discriminatory against Latinos and threatened the city with a lawsuit if it did not move to district elections. In a city document, city staff said if Encinitas were to defend a potential lawsuit, the defense costs and attorneys' fees would likely exceed $1 million, with additional exposure exceeding $1 million for plaintiff attorney fees should the city not prevail. "It's not a question of if it's fair or right," said Council member Tasha Boerner Horvath, adding she believes there is no evidence the city is

discriminatory. "It comes down to a fundamental question: can we win? ... I think our chances of losing are actually really high." 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. During a 90-day period, city staff, a hired demographer and special counsel will work to create maps for four districts with an at-large mayor or five districts with a rotating mayor.

BY KAREN BILLING One of the most important lessons in public school education is that in California, all students have a “free school guarantee” – meaning no students can be charged a fee to participate in educational activities. The San Dieguito Union School District (SDUHSD) is hoping to hammer that fact home, holding informational meetings with its district attorney to educate administrators, athletic directors, booster parents, foundation and middle school PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) members. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said the meetings are an effort to get everyone in the district on the same page regarding donations so that the language that goes out to parents is always clear and consistent. At a meeting held at Torrey Pines High School Aug. 24, attorney Jordan Bilbeisi, of Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost, said while the law can be “murky” on some issues, one thing is clear: “If it’s needed to participate in an educational activity, you can’t charge for it.” Bilbeisi offered parents and staff suggestions on best practices and language to avoid in the ask for donations for school programs. Over the last school year, the district faced questions regarding school site fundraising, the role of the foundations and was forced to investigate allegations of “pay to play.” Another recent complaint was filed against the La Costa Canyon High School cheerleading team, regarding the “large financial obligation” each member of the squad would be responsible for. Parent Beth Westburg also recently questioned the district board about Canyon Crest Academy Foundation’s “Guide to Suggested Donations,” which asked parents to consider a $180 donation to help fund the school’s academic needs this school year along with listed suggested donations for specific programs such as robotics to dance.

ATP students tour new La Costa Canyon home BY KAREN BILLING On Friday, Aug. 25 parents and students toured the new Adult Transition Program classrooms at La Costa Canyon High School. The Adult Transition Program (ATP) supports special needs students ages 18 to 22 and helps prepare them for adult life — the meet and greet was a way for students to explore their new home. After parents voiced concerns about ATP’s placement into portables on the Earl Warren Middle School campus, the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) responded by moving the program into three permanent classrooms on the La Costa Canyon campus. In just a few short weeks, district staff got the classrooms ready to go for the first day of school Aug. 29. The program has its own entrance from the LCC parking lot, leading to one classroom in its own building with a large outdoor space around it and two classrooms in an adjacent building, linked by a work space and bathroom. The classrooms have computer work stations, multiple windows and one has a small kitchen set up. The outdoor space

Parent Lucile Lynch said that the location of the program in the northernmost part of the district may be an adjustment for some parents but in terms of the actual space, it was a huge improvement. “It’s probably the best the ATP program has ever had.

Medical examiner: Pedestrian, meth deaths up in 2016 Pedestrian fatalities in San Diego County reached their highest number in decades, while methamphetamine-related deaths and homicides also increased last year compared to recent years. Those were among the findings noted in the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s just-released 2016 Annual Report. “These statistics closely follow trends reported in 2015,” said Dr. Glenn Wagner, the County’s Chief Medical Examiner. “The report provides a view of recent death trends in San Diego County based on a subset of the total cases.” The report offers an overview of cases and examines trends in causes of death for the approximately 8,500 cases the ME’s Office investigates annually – a little less than half of the 19,000 to 21,000 deaths recorded in San Diego County every year. After an initial review, many of those cases are then determined to be sudden, unexpected natural deaths. The data in the report focuses on the 3,070 cases in 2016 that the Medical Examiner’s Office fully investigated. Of those cases, 47 percent were accidental, including deaths

related to prescription drug overdoses, motor vehicle trauma, and industrial or agricultural and home-based trauma. Another 33 percent were determined to be natural deaths, 14 percent were suicides, a little more than 4 percent were homicides, and in nearly 2 percent, the cause was undetermined. The report notes that of the 307 motor vehicle fatalities last year, pedestrian fatalities went up to 101 cases, excluding two suicide pedestrian deaths. This is an increase from 93 pedestrian fatality cases in 2015. The 101 unintentional pedestrian deaths were the highest number since 1994 when there were 103 cases. Another trend was a general increase over 15 years in unintentional deaths due to drugs and medications, up to 544 in 2016 compared to 268 in 2000. In illicit drug and prescribed medication deaths, methamphetamine remained the single largest cause in 2016 with 240 cases. The number of methamphetamine death cases is also at its highest number in 16 years, increasing steadily since 2000 when there were 62 cases. Among the substance-related deaths, alcohol

had the second most cases with 106. Heroin overdoses were the third largest cause of deaths with 91 cases, and were most common in the age range 20 to 29. Opiates represented the largest group of medications in the 2016 drug deaths, which included heroin, morphine and benzodiazepines. In 2016, San Diego also saw four cases involving designer drugs. The drugs included an acetyl fentanyl death, a death from mitragynine (a plant-based opioid commonly referred to as kratom), and two deaths from U-47700, an opioid analgesic not intended for human use. The data also showed that homicide rates increased compared to the last three years. In 2016, there were 116 homicides, compared to 93 in 2015, 90 in 2014, and 88 in 2013. In 2012, there were 122 cases. Last year, 50 cases were due to firearms, 26 cases were due to cutting/stabbing, 22 were from blunt force, and seven were from asphyxiation. The other 11 were from less common mechanisms such as poisoning, drowning or environmental exposure. SEE DEATHS, A18

Nominees sought for outstanding environmental achievements The City of Encinitas' Environmental Commission is seeking nominations for individuals, organizations or businesses for its 2017 Environmental Award Program. The awards honor those who demonstrate exemplary environmental stewardship and achievements, and are given in two categories: one for individuals and nonprofits, and one for businesses. Nominations are open until Tuesday, Oct. 17, and winners will be honored by

the Encinitas City Council during a November meeting. To submit a nomination, please visit tinyurl.com/yalg5fbh "These awards give our environmentally-friendly residents and businesses the recognition they so greatly deserve for being forward-thinkers and community leaders in environmental stewardship," said Encinitas Environmental Commissioner Jim Wang.

The awards program is co-sponsored by the Encinitas Environmental Commission, the City of Encinitas, and Coastal SAGE Landscape Architecture. The 2016 winner in the individual/nonprofit category was Brad Roth for his tireless commitment to Cottonwood Creek Conservancy. For more than 20 years, Brad has devoted countless hours to the preservation and restoration of the creek, often educating, inspiring and

leading teams of volunteers. Last year's winner in the business category was Encinitas Foreign & Domestic Auto Repair, a company that is eco-friendly throughout: it is solar powered and energy efficient, recycles whenever possible, and segregates and isolates aerosols, cleaners and other toxins.

Making films to make the world a better place

BY LISA DEADERICK athaniel Goodman has learned to embrace more of the moments of his life, including the difficult ones. When he was 9, he and his parents were in a car accident that almost ended his parents’ lives. While he was spared from any serious injuries, he’d spent the year that they were recovering doing what he could to be supportive and help out around the house, and those things helped distract him from the trauma and grief. “At first, I didn’t want to preserve my memory of the accident. I wanted to move on, erasing evidence of trauma. But troubling moments become part of who we are, for better or worse, giving our lives depth and humility,” he says. “That’s one of the reasons I started to make movies: to preserve moments and capture emotions, even the vulnerable ones.” Today, he’s the founder of Filmmaking for Good, a nonprofit he started to help other nonprofit organizations share stories about the work they’re doing in the community through his promotional videos. He meets with clients, spends time shooting footage and interviews, and edits the material into films that those organizations can use to raise money and awareness. That work enabled him to apply for and be selected as one of the winners of this year’s Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Award (dillerteenawards.org), in which each of the 15 recipients nationwide receives $36,000 for taking on global issues and working toward change. Goodman, 19, a Canyon Crest Academy graduate who lives in Carmel Valley with his parents, Wende and Ira, and will be a freshman at Brown University this fall. He

JOHN R. MCCUTCHEN/SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE

Nathaniel Goodman took some time to talk about Filmmaking for Good, what it means to him to be selected for the Diller award and how he’s learned to find value in failure. Q: Tell us about Filmmaking for Good. A: Filmmaking for Good has one very simple goal: to promote as many nonprofit organizations and youth groups as possible to raise awareness and funds, from which more people can be served and inspired to serve. It all started in high school, when I saw there was a disparity between organizations doing good work effectively and those doing it ineffectively. I noticed that the missing piece of the puzzle was media outreach, so I thought of no better way to bridge the resource gap than to bring my skills to struggling nonprofits.

Q: Why was this kind of work something you felt like you wanted to do? A: It combined my natural inclination to produce films with my community involvement, in a variety of settings. It was a talent that I loved practicing, and it was needed by almost every organization I participated in. People like to watch a multidimensional project involving moving pictures over reading a one-dimensional narrative, in most instances. Q: How did you get into filmmaking? A: From an early age, I would watch my father craft short videos of family events and observe my mother work on her still life paintings. Though I would not classify our family as artistic — my father is an eye surgeon and my mother is a substitute teacher — I was always encouraged to find a mode of expression that’s dear to me, so I could march to my own drum. I picked up my first camera when I was 5, unwitting of the potential that lay within the little black box. Following my traumatic car accident, I knew I wanted to pursue storytelling because it helped me capture emotions and maintain memories; many of which make up the life that was almost swept away before my eyes. I’ve found filmmaking to be instrumental to my development. It’s able to convey certain emotions and realities in ways literature, photography, and music cannot. Q: What happens when a nonprofit has a service project they want your help with? A: My project works not only through word of mouth in the community, but also via my website and YouTube channel. On these online platforms, prospective nonprofit organizations can view my previous projects and arrange a time to meet with me, wherein

we discuss ways I can visualize their project in the most compelling way possible. Overhead is pretty minimal, as I have my own camera equipment, computer and editing software. Rarely do I need to outsource my work. Q: Were you familiar with the Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Awards before receiving one this year? A: I was vaguely familiar with the awards before applying. Up until my senior year, I never thought I would stand a chance winning an award bestowed to only 15 Jewish teens in the entire country. Each year in high school, I saw press releases on teens who had previously won the award. I was inspired by their dedication to service and innovation in the community, so I sought to make the most of the resources around me to create a meaningful service project, without the slightest intention of applying for the award in the future. However, upon entering senior year, my parents encouraged me to apply. They have always been an integral source of support in my life. I am forever indebted to them for giving me the support and confidence I needed to thrive in the application process and beyond. Q: The term “tikkun olam” means to “repair the world.” When you think about this, what do you see in the world that needs repairing? A: When I think of “tikkun olam,” a few things come into my mind: I think of Frederick Douglass’ maxim that, “it’s easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” This quotation strikes me because I’ve noticed that much of the world’s political and social problems stem from poor education of youth. That is why many of my videos focus on youth-centric nonprofits and my SEE FILMMAKER, A16

Eighteen puppies from Louisiana arrived at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society on Aug. 19 to assist a Louisiana shelter in rescuing pet victims of Hurricane Harvey.

Rescued animals arrive in San Diego to make room for pets affected by hurricane

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY More than 100 dogs and cats from a Louisiana shelter arrived in San Diego this week to make room for pets affected by Hurricane Harvey. A Wings of Rescue flight carried the 85 dogs and 20 cats from Acadiana Animal Aid Shelter to Gillespie Field in El Cajon on Aug. 28. The following day, 42 of the animals -including 18 puppies, 10 adult dogs and 14 cats -- were taken to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) in Encinitas. The rest of the animals were taken to Labradors and Friends Rescue, and the San Diego Humane Society, which deployed its special response and rescue teams on Aug. 29 to assist in Texas. Once Acadiana Animal Aid Shelter is

empty through these efforts, the animals affected by Hurricane Harvey will be taken to the shelter to be reclaimed by their owners, according to the San Diego Humane Society. John Van Zante, public relations director for RCHS, said all of the animals will be examined and receive their vaccinations. He said the testing for each dog will be $600. "Particularly with pets coming from other parts of the country, we want to make sure they didn't bring any health issues with them before we send them to their new homes," Van Zante explained. The animals should be available for adoption in the coming weeks. People interested in adopting a pet or donating can go to rchumanesociety.org, call 760-753-6413 or visit the shelter at 389 Requeza Street.

Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church welcomes the San Diego community to experience Hellenic cuisine, entertainment and hospitality during the 39th Annual Cardiff Greek Festival on Sept. 9 and 10. Under its iconic gold dome, the church grounds will once again be transformed with the sights, sounds and aromas of Greece. “We look forward to sharing Greece’s rich history and tradition with the community every year through the festival’s food, music and dance,” said Rev. Father Michael Sitaras, Pastor of Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church. “The spirit of Greece is alive in us. Let us share it with you!” For a $3 admission (children under 12, active military, police and firefighters with ID are free), festival attendees will be transported into a quaint Greek village, serenaded by a variety of live entertainers on three stages throughout the weekend, including renowned Southern California Greek band The Olympians. The parish’s youngest members – ages 5 through high school – will perform folk dances in traditional costumes. You’ll have the opportunity to put your best fancy footwork forward and shout “Opa!” with guided dance instruction. Delicacies will be available, such as souvlaki (shish-kabobs), Greek-style roasted lamb and chicken, pastitsio (baked layers of macaroni, seasoned meat, cheese and béchamel sauce), moussaka, loukaniko (sausage), dolmathes (stuffed grape leaves), and gyros. Vegetarian fare includes tiropitas (cheese triangles in

filo), spanakopita (spinach pie), mezethes (appetizers), and Greek salad. The Kafenio (café) boasts mouth-watering desserts and coffee. Father Sitaras will host tours of the church and enlighten guests about the mosaics, iconography and Byzantine architecture. “What many visitors don’t realize is that our gold dome is just as magnificent on the inside as it is on the outside. I love that moment of stunned wonderment when guests first see the intricacy of the Byzantine artwork.” An open marketplace will typify a traditional bazaar featuring Greek imports, pottery, fine jewelry, artwork, a Greek deli, cooking demonstrations, and an array of other treasures. The Kids Fun Zone with games will ensure children enjoy their time as much as the adults. You can even take a free photo with The San Diego Padres mascot Swinging Friar and the Pad Squad at the photo booth from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. both days. A chance to win a 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA or $25,000 will keep the festival’s excitement going until the very end. The Cardiff Greek Festival will be celebrated Saturday, Sept. 9 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday, Sept. 10 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on the grounds of Saints Constantine and Helen, 3459 Manchester Avenue, a half mile east of I-5 at the Manchester exit in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Free parking is available at the adjacent Mira Costa College. For more information, visit www.cardiffgreekfest.com.

Rescued dog finds permanent home after life-saving surgery BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A dog who was abandoned on the side of the road, captured the hearts of people all over the country and sparked media attention now has a new chance at life. As of Aug. 24, Orson, a 2-year-old English Settler mix, is living permanently with the Encinitas family that has cared for him for months, as he was going through surgery and rehabilitation for a deformed front leg. He was found abandoned by the side of a freeway in Mexico. A good samaritan took him to a Baja Rescue Group before he was transferred to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) in Encinitas in April. When the 35-pound pup arrived, RCHS staff discovered Orson had a bone in his right, front leg that was too short. His original adoptive family agreed to have Orson’s leg fixed but eventually returned him without the surgeries after learning the costs would range from $5,400 to $5,800. “Our medical fund was depleted after we recently accepted dozens of dogs and puppies rescued from commercial breeding operations, also known as puppy mills,” explained RCHS President Jim Silveira. “[Orson’s original adoptive family] did not have the surgery and returned him in worse condition than before.” RCHS reached out to its volunteers and successfully raised the money needed for the surgery with Dr. Joshua Jackson at Veterinary Specialty Hospital. Orson had a fixator installed to stretch the bone, and his back right knee was also operated on for another problem. RCHS received dozens of applications for Orson, including from the family that has been

Orson caring for him since May. Their home was the right fit, RCHS decided. The Lofshult family, including their two other dogs, officially adopted Orson on the morning of Aug. 24 after receiving clearance from the vet. Diane Lofshult said when she first met Orson, she wasn’t expecting that she would adopt him because she didn’t want to be a “foster failure.” “That’s what it’s called when you adopt your foster,” she explained, laughing. “But if you have to fail at something, that’s not a bad thing to fail at. I did think about if this was the best

situation for Orson, and when I saw how well he got along with our other dogs, I knew he was home.” While Orson’s surgery was a success, he will suffer some long-term effects, such as a slight limp, said Kathy Zerkle, RCHS vice president of adoption services. His family will also have to watch for arthritis, and they have been training him in the pool for water therapy. As he entered RCHS Thursday morning, Aug. 24, Orson trotted in with a smile on his face, as if he knew he was on his way to his forever home and like he was no longer in any pain. Lofshult described Orson as a sweet, mellow

Experiencing the benefits of a ‘chair’ massage

‘New’ UCSD Center for Integrative Wellness treats guests to a day of ‘fun’ LET’S REVIEW BY WILL BOWEN From the looks of it, the overflow crowd at the Aug. 19 launch party for the new-and-improved Center for Integrative Medicine (CIM) at UC San Diego was having lots of fun and getting healthy in the process at the Sanford Consortium on North Torrey Pines Road. Actually, it’s not quite right to call this a “launch” party, the event was more like firing a booster rocket. The CIM has been in operation for several years but recently added two more centers to its offerings to position itself at a stronger vantage point

for achieving its vision — transforming western medicine! “This is both a launch event and a rebirth of Integrative Health here at UC San Diego,” said managing director Lauray MacElhern, MBA. “With our new structure, now incorporating five distinct centers, we are in a much better position to truly transform health care in San Diego and beyond.” Under the CIM umbrella are: Center for Integrative Medicine, Center for Integrative Education, Center for Integrative Research, Center for Mindfulness, and Center for Integrative Nutrition. At CIM, massage, acupuncture,

acupressure, osteopathy, naturopathy, guided visualization, mindfulness, yoga, Tai Chi, meditation, herbs and wholesome diet plans are offered for clients to use as preventative health care or in connection with their regular treatments and medications. The approach taken is that care-givers should listen to you, get to know you (your past and your future dreams), and then design a personalized approach for your unique health needs. The day started with registration and “smoothies,” blended drinks of pineapple, mango and bananas, or kale, celery and spinach. Next came a relaxing guided meditation by CIM chair Carol Wegner, who afterward introduced cardiologist Dr.

Mimi Guarneri, who provided the morning keynote address. Guarneri talked about her frustration putting stints in people’s hearts only to have them come back for another surgery because they had not improved their diet and lifestyle — the cause of the problem in the first place. Her experience, she said, led her to ponder the question “How can we create health?” Guarneri said that 80 percent of heart problems could be addressed by improving patients’ diets and exercise plans, and getting them to give up smoking. She reported that 1 in 10 people live with diabetes, which is also related to diet and SEE WELLNESS, A16

Bread and Barley rises in Encinitas

Ray Herrera at Bread and Barley in Encinitas said. For example, he noted Anaheim-based Bottle Logic Brewery only distributes to one other business in San Diego County. All of the food is also made from scratch. Besides burgers, the menu boasts selections of sandwiches, desserts, appetizers and salads. One of the most popular dishes is a breakfast burrito with

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A popular Los Angeles gastropub has opened its doors at a second location in Encinitas. Bread and Barley debuted at 542 North Coast Highway 101 officially on Aug. 16. It had a soft opening beginning in late May. The restaurant, which first opened in Covina in 2014, is known for its hamburgers and rare beer selection, said Ray Herrera, owner of the Encinitas location and family member of the original Covina owners. “We just take pub food and put a Bread and Barley spin on it, which makes it unique to us,” said Herrera, who previously owned an engineering company but sold it four years ago. He used some of the money from that sale to enter the restaurant business. After discussing with his family about opening up a location in San Diego, he began scouting possible sites about two-and-a-half years ago. Herrera, a 24-year resident of Encinitas, had previously negotiated for a space in Del Mar for six months before pulling out of the deal, deciding the space wasn’t ideal. Then he discovered the property in Encinitas, which was vacant and located next to Birdseye Kitchen and near The Pannikin. “We found lots of locations but none of them really had the vibe that we were looking for until we found this property,” he said. Herrera said he negotiated with the city of Encinitas for about nine months and discussed the project with residents in the meantime. During that time, he implemented suggestions from the public regarding parking and noise. The restaurant was also made to be dog-friendly. The vibe of the space follows a 1920s-era theme. A sign in the back room reads “vote against prohibition.” Herrera described the restaurant as a modern speakeasy with no secret doorway. Bread and Barley has 20 beers on tap plus bottled selections. Most of the beers are hard to get elsewhere, he

Cranes for a Cure

Local mother honors her son’s memory with 2,000 crane display at New Children’s Museum Sept. 6-Oct. 2

BY KAREN BILLING n origami crane starts with a simple square piece of paper, rising from a series of meticulous folds. Kathy Liu has made thousands and thousands, with beautiful paper of all colors and patterns, attached to strings, adorned with beads, added to a cheerful mobile or to be a part of a meaningful display. She makes the cranes in memory of her son Joey, who died from a rare form of kidney cancer at age 10. Origami was something that Joey really liked, he loved to fold since he was in kindergarten and by second grade he was extremely good. “When he was here, I never folded,” said Liu. “Now that he’s not here, I fold every day.” Every September since she lost Joey in 2014, she has made a display of 2,000 paper origami cranes as part of her nonprofit Joey’s Wings Crane for a Cure project. The 2,000 birds represent the 2,000 children that die from childhood cancer every year and this year they will take flight at San Diego’s New Children’s Museum from Sept. 6 through Oct. 2 in honor of Joey and Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. In Chinese and Japanese culture, cranes mean health and hope and good luck. The belief is that if you fold 1,000 cranes, your wish will be granted — Liu has only ever had one wish and that’s a wish for a cure. As it stands now, only 4 percent of federal

funding is spent on childhood cancer research and Liu is on a tireless mission to change that. Liu and her husband, Luke, and son, David, moved to North County from Gainesville, Fla., last year. Through Joey’s Wings, Liu raises awareness and funds for childhood cancer and supports children and families going through the same fight. She makes mobiles for young patients, cranes to cheer up a hospital IV pole, she makes earrings with delicately folded tiny cranes to sell, and, over the last holiday season, made crane ornaments that she sold in front of Ralphs to raise money for Rady Children’s Hospital. There’s a Joey’s Wings 5K and a gala in Florida every year and the Burn Running Club, a nonprofit in the Bay Area, also holds an annual race to support Joey’s Wings. Now that Liu is in San Diego she is focused less on events and more on lobbying efforts. In May, she represented California with 200 advocates from all over the country for Childhood Cancer Action Day, meeting with legislators on Capitol Hill. “Childhood cancer is so sad, people don’t want to talk about it,” Liu said. “It’s a challenge (to receive funding) because it’s rare. Seven children every day in America die from cancer and 46 are diagnosed, 263 children die every day around the world from childhood cancer. If we find a cure it’s not just for our kids, it’s for kids all over the

He was a very talented artist and loved playing music, painting and origami. He also was a whiz at math, winning a Florida Math League Contest. He loved science, was an avid reader and like many kids his age, he loved Legos and Minecraft and soccer. In March of 2013, 9-year-old Joey was diagnosed with a rare type of kidney cancer that is very hard to treat. By the time he was diagnosed, it had spread from his kidney to his abdomen, chest and neck. As there was no standard treatment, for 20 months the Lius tried a variety of options and Joey had two major surgeries at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. While in Cincinnati to try

He was 10 years old and in the fifth grade. He never completed his last painting he had been working on in the hospital, painting a dragon while lying on his side because he was so weak.

Good Food Showcase to take place Sept. 15

San Dieguito Art Guild Board of Directors

COURTESY

New board announced for San Dieguito Art Guild A new board of directors for the San Dieguito Art Guild was announced Aug. 28 at the group's monthly board meeting. Incoming officers are: Jon Lovegren, Webmaster; Janet Scura, Co-Wall Chair; PJ Puterbaugh, Secretary; Ellablanche Salmi, Co-Gallery Manager, and Marissa Wright, Hospitality. Returning board members are: Karen Fidel, Membership; Carol Korfin, Calendar Chair; Joyce Nash, Co-Wall Chair; Judianne Shannon, Co-Gallery Manager; Grace Swanson, Co-Publicity; Lynn Ely, Monthly Show; Ellen Cramer, Co-Calendar Chair; Sandy Heath, Co-Calendar Chair; Linda Melemed, Treasurer; Lin Holzinger, President; Linda Melvin, Floor Chair; Judy Salinsky, Co-Publicity; Jeffrey R. Brosbe, Jobs Chair; and Sharon Ford, Newsletter Editor. The San Dieguito Art Guild, founded in 1965, is dedicated to furthering artistic understanding and fostering artistic growth of members and the community at large by promoting interest, education, knowledge and skills in the visual arts. The Guild is a nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization made up of over 200 talented local artists. The Guild owns and operates the Off Track Gallery, 937 South Coast Highway 101, Suite C-103, Encinitas, 760-942-3636, OffTrackGallery.com.

Local farmers, Good Food businesses, distributors, food service providers and food systems advocates will participate in The Good Food Showcase on Sept. 15 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Leichtag Commons, 441 Saxony Road. The Good Food Showcase feeds the growing appetite for locally grown and raised products among San Diego and Southern California school districts, hospitals, universities, preschools, restaurants, local government, and community organizations, according to a press release. The Good Food Showcase puts a fresh spin on the traditional product showcase model to promote local agriculture sales and support the good food movement. Local farmers and other good food exhibitors have seen growing benefit from Showcase participation, as noted by the 50 percent increase in reported sales from attendance in 2015 to 2016, from $80,000 to $120,000. For growers, the Showcase offers an opportunity to meet directly with prospective buyers and explore the burgeoning farm-to-table movement. As reported in the “State of Farm to School in San Diego County Report,” dozens of San Diego County school districts source locally and regionally- grown food valued at nearly $18 million, $6 million of which is local produce. In fact, school districts have increased their local food purchases by nearly 500 percent from 2013-14 to 2015-16. School districts are joined by hospitals, preschools, universities, and restaurants in

growing the movement, as local sourcing has proven to promoting healthy eating. Kevin Gorham, an Aquaponics Specialist at Solutions for Change, said, “I know we’re all busy as farmers, as distributors, as growers and we all have plenty to do and it may seem like a stretch to take time out of your day to come to events like this [the Good Food Showcase] and just talk to people, but I would say that this might be the most productive day you have at your farm all year. These sorts of relationships are what will make your farm really sustainable and help our community grow.” Research also suggests local sourcing can return twice as many dollars to the local economy as conventional purchasing practices. With over 3,000 small farms and 300 organic farms, San Diego County could experience a major economic boon through increased local sourcing. For institutions and restaurant attendees, the Showcase presents a rare opportunity to connect with local produce growers and distributors, to essentially see the face of where their food is coming from. CHIP’s food systems core funding: The Good Food Showcase is hosted by Community Health Improvement Partners, a San Diego nonprofit organization with the mission of advancing long-term solutions to priority health needs through collaboration and community engagement. See bit.ly/2wD9slq to register for the event and find out more event details, including a growing list of registered attendees.

The San Diego mother founded Moms Making Six Figures nearly nine years ago after a “major life event with a family member.” “I think it just made me realize that choosing to prioritize my life over our financial life was not what I wanted to do,” she said. “For most people, it takes something major like missing children’s events over and over again, or having your child look at you and say they know the nanny more than they know you.” The nationwide company allows women and men to work from home in the marketing field, on their own time, so they can accommodate both their families and their work lives. The business — which has about 300 independent contractors across the country — does marketing for a U.S.-based manufacturer of more than 500 consumer products sold online. Bartolotta could not name her client due to legal reasons, though she said the high-quality wellness items are a great value and include healthy snacks, nutritional goods and safer cleaning products.

Team members do not have to be parents, but do have to be at a point in their lives where they are ready to make changes, Bartolotta said. Most of the contractors start off balancing Moms Making Six Figures with an already-existing job before making the transition, she said. “I think when you do something and you’re successful at it, it’s hard to imagine yourself somewhere else,” she said. “It’s hard to take that leap to do something you might fail at. For a lot of people that do it, you just get to a breaking point where you just can’t do this anymore. Something has to give.” She said while those on the team could make six-figure incomes or more, it all depends on how much work they put in. She always recommends to newcomers that they should spend at least five to 10 hours a week on the work to see results. Over the years, she has witnessed many of these parents who once had stressful careers, become happier and calmer. The company is looking to bring on more people, she said.

Blind surfers to hit the Beach at the 22nd Annual Blind Surf Event Sept. 10 On Sept. 10, the 22nd annual — and largest of its kind — Blind Surfing Event for the sight impaired will be held at South Ponto State Beach in Carlsbad from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Last year the event hosted more than 50 visually impaired from San Diego, Los Angeles and Orange counties. They will once again have the opportunity to experience the local famous shorelines from a surfer’s point of view. Urban Surf 4Kids and Stella Maris Surf Association, with the support of local certified surfers, will instruct and assist the blind and sight-impaired participants in the water and challenge them to balance atop surfboards. Lions Clubs through out San Diego County will provide transportation for our guests to and from the beach. The Encinitas

Lions Club will serve breakfast and a BBQ lunch, sponsored by McDonald’s, Tip Top Market and Hansen’s Surf Shop. Free commemorative T-Shirts will be distributed to all participants and volunteers. Since Helen Keller challenged the Lions to be “Knights of the Blind” they have helped where needed. Urban Surf 4Kids helps homeless and orphan children realize their potential. Directions: In Carlsbad, from the 5 Freeway, take the Poinsettia turn off, go west to Pacific Coast Highway. Turn left (south) and proceed about two miles to South Ponto Beach.

FROM WELLNESS, A8 exercise. “The United States spends more on health care than most other countries, but is way down the list when it comes to the overall health of its population,” she told the crowd, adding that it’s cost effective to look at health in terms of prevention, and noted that each dollar one invests in their health will save them $6 in the long-run. Next to speak were doctors Rusty Kallenberg, Daniel Slater and Michael Kurisa. Following them, Erin Raskin, DACM, L.Ac. spoke about how massage, acupuncture and aromatherapy could help patients feel more comfortable, while naturopathic doctor Adam Silberman explained how healthful foods could be used as medicine. Michele Fiorella, M.D., insisted that “humanism” was a core value expressed in all classes taught

FROM MARIJUANA, A1 shops in the city. In the Aug. 22 letter, the Association of Cannabis Professionals suggested retail shops should be permitted, with a maximum of one retailer per every 15,000 Encinitas residents. This would mean at least four shops in the city since the population is nearly 60,000, according to the 2010 census report. Consultations from medical professionals would not be permitted at the shops, and the retailers would be 1,000 feet away from schools. Security, including operable cameras, alarms and a

through CIM. Paul Mills explained that the Center for Integrative Research was looking into Chinese, Tibetan, Ayurvedic and Native American medicine, trying to find valuable therapies and pharmaceuticals. Gordon Saxe, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H., provided additional information about the healing power of foods in a smart diet. Christy Cassisa described the role mindfulness and meditation plays in health care. The concluding speaker was microbiologist Rob Knight who discussed the importance of bacteria in and on the body, noting that, “The DNA of the bacteria that lives inside your body and on your skin is a better predictor of your propensity for health or disease than your own DNA!” After the speakers, a macrobiotic lunch of yams, sprouts and sauerkraut was served.

The afternoon workshops allowed participants to choose a chair massage or acupuncture treatment, followed by dance or art therapy, followed by guided visualization in mindfulness and self compassion. Outside the building, a truck arrived with a Spiral Machine inside its glass panels. The Spiral Machine takes 360-degree photographs of your body as it spins around on a circular platform. The results (which depict structure, alignment and body fat) are used to design a personalized exercise program for participants. For this attendee, it was a fun and inspiring day that made me happy that all these noninvasive and pleasant-feeling therapies were available in the medical setting and thus covered by insurance and Medical/Medicare.

security guard, would be at each site. The shops would operate between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., seven days a week. The Association of Cannabis Professionals also suggested commercial cultivation sites should be allowed, with a conditional use permit, and all growing should take place inside a building or greenhouse, with no visibility from the street. Regulations on manufacturing, distribution and personal use cultivation were also mentioned in the letter. If the group gathers enough signatures and its initiative is approved by the voters of Encinitas

or the city council, the initiative would amend city code to authorize marijuana-related businesses, regulated in terms of lighting, signage and security. The conditional use permits would expire after five years, and no felons may work at the businesses. “If the Encinitas City Council enacted regulations around marijuana businesses, including opting to prohibit all marijuana business outright, the results of an election on this ballot measure would supersede our decision,” Blakespear explained in her newsletter. “So ultimately, the voters may well decide this issue."

FROM FILMMAKER, A4 volunteer work is devoted to at-risk youth. If we can build better youth, then we can build a better future, and thus a better world. Q: What does it mean to you to receive the award? A: It is such an honor to be selected and I’m so grateful to the Helen Diller Family Foundation for giving me this opportunity to further my vision for helping others. Receiving this award is not only an honor, but it’s also a validation of the importance and potential of our work; this award allows me to carry on the Jewish tradition of “tikkun olam.” Q: What’s been challenging about running your own nonprofit? A: What is difficult about this project is putting what a youth director and I have planned into a cogent narrative. Resolving this issue requires several in-person meetings so I can fully understand what they envision. Another challenge is promotion, of not only my service project, but also the individual videos I make for organizations. I start tackling these obstacles by connecting with the community on Facebook — I’ve found that just a simple share or like can go a long way in garnering viewership and awareness for a cause. Q: What’s been rewarding about the work you’ve been doing? A: Seeing people get excited about an issue because they watched my video. Because igniting some fire in the belly is the first step to making greater change. There is also a great sense of satisfaction from the process of making films itself. I love working the camera and meticulously editing a project on the computer. Q: What has this work taught you about yourself? A: It’s taught me how to be self-sufficient, but also important is that this work has showed me that there are things that I am not good at. So, working with a team or

outsourcing a project can be equally important. I’ve also learned the importance of keeping my word, and being careful who I give it to. There have been times when I’ve stretched myself too thin with academics, conservatory, service, etc., that I drive myself to exhaustion. Q: What is the best advice you’ve ever received? A: To not let my plans interfere with life’s spontaneity and freedom because it’s the spontaneous encounters that may expose us to failure, and failure is the best way to learn. As Peter Diamandis says, “fail early, fail often, fail forward.” Q: What is one thing people would be surprised to find out about you? A: That I play ping pong almost every day. Q: Describe your ideal San Diego weekend. A: On Saturday, it would be to meditate with the sunrise at Torrey Pines Preserve; work out; read a book on personal development, neuroscience, or economics; go surfing with friends; hang out with my family; play ping pong; and end the night watching “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” On Sunday, it would be a walk on the beach with family, journaling to assess my failures of last week and goals for the upcoming week, work out, go to the San Diego Zoo (I’ve actually never been before), and get boba tea on Convoy Street with friends, and cook Indian food with my mom. What I love about Carmel Valley ... I was born in Arizona, raised alongside scorpions and coyotes. While Scottsdale showed me how to get along with similar people, I didn’t know how to thrive in a diverse environment until I moved to Carmel Valley. Today, I carpool with students from Beijing — adopting motivating phrases like “jia you,” which means “work harder” — and learn how to count in Arabic from my lab partner. The discussions I share here have shaped the way I value different perspectives. – Lisa Deaderick is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Giant Expectations (left) rallied past Calculator (center) and Mr. Hinx en route to a 1 1/2-length victory in the Grade II, $200,000 Pat O’Brien Stakes on Saturday, Aug. 26 at Del Mar. Calculator finished second, 2 3/4 lengths clear of third-place runner Silent Bird (not pictured). Under jockey Gary Stevens, Giant Expectations traveled the 7 furlongs on the dirt in 1:21.08. “There was some ‘jockeying’ going on out there, especially between (Kent) Desormeaux (on Silent Bird) and me,” Stevens said. “We were going in and out, but my horse loved it (the competition). He’s a bulldog. … I thought he was sitting on something big. He showed it today. And I think he’ll actually be better off if they run him a mile. (The win gave him automatic entrance into the

Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile.) He’ll have more time to settle going into that first turn, and I expect he’ll run big.” The winner – trained by Peter Eurton – is owned by Exline Border Racing and Gatto Racing (Dan Gatto of Encinitas). In the day’s supporting feature, Battle of Midway drew off to a 6 1/4-length win in the $100,000 Shared Belief Stakes.

FROM JOEY, A12 Joey’s name. “The painting wasn’t for Joey to finish. The rest of the painting is for us and the researchers to finish and find a cure,” Liu said. Liu started Joey’s Wings in her son’s memory and she has kept busy. Joey’s Wings is working with the UT Southwestern Medical Center’s kidney cancer program, considered number one in the world — Joey’s Wings donated $100,000 to the lab, which was able to hire a full-time researcher to study the cancer. Joey’s Wings also funds massage therapy for patients at Shands Children’s Hospital, which she would also like to do for Rady Children’s Hospital. Personally, Liu volunteers every month at the Ronald McDonald House, cooking for the families. In Washington, DC, Liu joins fellow childhood cancer advocates to lobby for increased funding — one of the greatest challenges of pediatric cancer research has been a lack of access to new treatments for children. One of Liu’s strongest fights with Joey was for compassionate use, a way for patients to try new drugs that have not yet been approved. With Joey, she petitioned drug companies for the use of a new immunotherapy drug that

targeted the type of tumor Joey had. One of the drugs had been successful in adult cancer trials but pediatric trials had been delayed. Liu argued to get compassionate use of new drugs, pushing drug companies from April to September of 2014. The FDA approved the drug Keytruda on Sept. 4 for off-label use and an oncologist in Cincinnati agreed to try the drug with Joey. By October, after the first injection, his tumor was still growing but he showed no major side effects. After a second injection, all tumors stopped and those in his neck shrank significantly. However, at that point, Joey’s tiny body had weakened and his kidney stopped working. “If he could’ve gotten it sooner, it could’ve given him more time,” said Liu, who now works to assist parents in petitioning for compassionate use of drugs as it is a very “daunting” process. “Only three drugs have been approved for childhood cancer in 50 years. Most have no hope because there’s just not drugs for children and a lot of patients need compassionate use.” She is happy to see positive steps forward as on Aug. 17, the RACE for Children Act became law. Under RACE for Children, companies developing cancer drugs are required to develop drugs for children when the molecular targets are relevant to childhood cancers.

COURTESY

Kathy Liu in Washington, D.C. in May, lobbying for funding for children’s cancer research. Additionally, RACE will result in more research dollars going to pediatric cancer clinical research. “This is huge,” Liu said of lobbying efforts

making an impact. “I will keep lobbying every year.” She plans to return to Washington, DC next year despite the fact that her life just got a whole lot busier: She recently accepted a full-time teaching job in the San Diego Unified School District, teaching Mandarin immersion classes at Barnard Asian Pacific Language Academy. Liu continues to fold and her efforts with Cranes for a Cure inspire others around the world, who send boxes and boxes of paper cranes, recently one even came from Australia. “There are so many touching stories,” she said, noting one boy sent her 3,000 cranes he made after he lost his dog in a car accident. He had seen one of Liu’s cranes at the post office, where Liu had given one to a postal worker who had been going through chemotherapy. Along with the 3,000 cranes the boy had sent a note: “Losing my dog was very sad, I cannot imagine losing a child.” Liu lives with that loss every day and every day she works to spread awareness, folding her cranes, finishing Joey’s painting, working for change and a cure. “I feel the cranes bring healing and peace,” Liu said. “By doing this, I feel more at peace and feel the spirit of Joey. That’s the inspiration of how I keep doing this.” For more information, visit

OPINION

FROM DEATHS, A2

FROM DISTRICT, A1

Suicides increased slightly last year with 431 cases compared to 427 cases in 2015. The County urges anyone who is struggling with depression or is concerned about a loved one to seek free mental health and substance abuse counseling. Call the County’s Behavioral Health Access and Crisis Line at (888) 724-7240. Suicide prevention and awareness information is also available at up2sd.org. As drug-related deaths continue to increase, so have the number of cases handled by the forensic toxicology laboratory. In 2016, the laboratory handled more than 2,100 cases, a hundred more cases than the previous year, and the highest increase in 16 years. In 2001, the laboratory handled fewer than 1,700 cases, but those numbers have steadily increased over the years. “In general, the findings are valuable to the law enforcement, mental health and drug rehabilitation communities and help guide how we direct resources to county initiatives like Live Well San Diego and the associated task forces on suicides, elder abuse, domestic violence, child fatalities, methamphetamine and prescription drug abuse,” said Wagner. “The death investigation work done by this office is a combination of service, education and research.” County Medical Examiner investigators are also involved in many research opportunities and are members of various multidisciplinary death review committees, including those that work to reduce trauma deaths and improve the trauma system. Pathologists, investigators and other staff also share their expertise at conferences and in academic settings, including providing a teaching rotation program for pathology residents from UC San Diego School of Medicine and Naval Medical Center Balboa, as well as brief clerkships for medical students from around the country. – By Yvette Urrea Moe, County of San Diego Communications Office

letter, dated July 20, he said Encinitas is diluting the votes of minorities with its current at-large election system, thus violating the state's Voting Rights Act of 2001. He also said 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. But residents argued that's not the case. They contended there have actually been two Latino council members, Teresa Arballo Barth and Mary Lou "Lou" Aspell. The population in the city is also dispersed, and a district with a hispanic majority doesn't exist, residents said. Limiting the number of districts to four would also make it difficult for the city to maintain its five communities and their unique characters, they said. "This process will cost us millions either way, so use our tax dollars to fight it," said former mayor Sheila Cameron. Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz also suggested the city should do research to see if it has a defensible case before

FROM DONATION, A1 “A reasonable person would conclude from this flyer that one must pay to participate,” wrote Westburg. Bilbeisi said that in many cases there is a quick fix — such as using the word “voluntary” for donations instead of “suggested.” Donation requests should avoid using the word “fee,” he said, also suggesting that groups avoid presenting parents with anything that looks like a bill or invoice and instead encouraging voluntary participation in fundraising. Bilbeisi said fundraising always needs a disclaimer: “This is not required for your student to participate in this activity.” Bilbeisi said in their request for donations, groups can state the consequences if a person does not donate to a team or program but he tends to discourage that — “Nothing prohibits it by law but I don’t think it’s a best practice,” Bilbeisi said. Last season, Dill said the district investigation found an email that did cross that line — an email from the Torrey Pines volleyball team requesting funds for transportation stated “If you don’t pay the fee you can’t ride the bus. The foundation has asked that everyone get the bus fee in ASAP, or your son may not be allowed to ride the bus to and from games. If they do not ride the bus, they cannot play.” In that case, Dill said the district is offering refunds to those who felt the fee was mandatory. “The district has to be transparent to the public to keep and retain their trust,” said SDUHSD board member Mo Muir,

who attended the Aug. 24 meeting. "The district is responding to foundation inquiries by being transparent and having training workshops on fundraising to make sure every aspect of our district from foundation leadership, coaches, staff and PTAs are all aware of the laws and follow them.” To further discuss the issue, the SDUHSD board’s Sept. 14 meeting will have an item on the agenda regarding foundations and donations. Bilbeisi’s presentation offered an overview of pupil fees, charging a fee to a student as a condition for participation in a class or extracurricular activity. An ACLU investigation in 2010 revealed that school districts across the state were illegally charging students for extracurricular activities and for textbooks and materials. Dill said before 2004, SDUHSD was doing a lot of those things and they did a thorough job with reviewing and correcting the district’s curricular piece. The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) filed suit against California to stop illegal practices and protect equal access to education and in response to the ACLU suit, Assembly Bill 1575 was passed in 2012. Bilbeisi said the bill essentially codified what was already the law regarding fees, although the law is still largely undeveloped and uncertain — it states no student is required to pay for “participation in an educational activity,” which essentially everything falls under. The law states schools can’t require students to make payments to obtain a lock, locker, book, class

making a rushed decision. If the city were to move to districts, they should go to two districts and elect the top two candidates from each of those areas, said former deputy mayor Lisa Shaffer. Another option would be for the city to have five districts and a rotating mayor, which would completely rule out at-large elections. The council was urged to place a measure on the upcoming 2018 ballot for voters to decide if they want four districts with an at-large mayor or five districts with a rotating mayor. Mayor Catherine Blakespear said while she believes the current election system is working and districting wouldn't be an improvement, the "risks significantly outweigh the benefits." She compared Shenkman's threat with the housing element lawsuits Encinitas has faced over the years. She also believes the city's failure to develop a state-compliant housing element could be used against them in court. "That's the dollar signs ringing up and ringing up," she said. "Our backs are up against the wall." City Manager Karen Brust was directed to come back to the council with a communication strategy and identify the team working on the project.

apparatus, musical instrument, uniform or “other materials or equipment.” A fee waiver policy shall not make a pupil fee permissible. Schools cannot require students to make a purchase needed for an educational activity (such as a supplemental textbook or supplies) and all supplies and equipment needed to participate in a school activity must be provided free of charge. Athletic directors at the meeting wondered how far does it go: Would they have to provide track spikes? Field hockey sticks? Socks? Would the district be liable for a school-provided football helmet in the case of an injury? Bilbeisi said the law is “murky” but the district does need to provide all supplies free of charge. The intent is to not create a “two-tier” educational system by offering a higher educational experience for students with better means. One cheer parent said that can be difficult as these programs do cost money — in the cheer team’s case, it costs about $1,500 per member, if 10 kids chose not to donate, who gets the bill? Dill said the district would be required to cover that cost. SDUHSD board member John Salazar said he has been bothered by the perception that students don’t go out for certain sports because they cannot afford it. He would like to see posters on every campus that read: “Come out for sports, it’s free, we don’t want your money.” Some booster parents said that culture already exists, that parents do understand what it costs to run

the program and are happy to contribute if they can. One Canyon Crest Academy parent said the soccer team has a “suggested” $500 donation but she said she knew families who said their children played for four years and they never donated a dime. Another thing the law gives parents is the option to use the Williams Uniform Complaint process to apply for reimbursement for previously charged fees. The district is required to provide a 60-day turnaround for any complaint and complete an investigation — the parent can also appeal to the California Department of Education. The law does not prohibit soliciting voluntary donations but it does prohibit course credit or privileges in exchange for donations. “Recognition is OK as long as they are not getting specific privileges,” Bilbeisi said. Dill said they have seen some fundraising tactics regarding recognition that are not best practice — such as a list of names with those who have yet to donate. And despite the allegations of “pay for play,” Dill reiterated that athletic coaches do not receive a list of who has and has not donated, nor do they want to. Some boosters in attendance said that it is important for them to be able to recognize those parents who have given above and beyond so that all kids can participate. “We have great parents that support the schools,” Muir said. “We so appreciate their time and monetary contributions. We can never thank them enough.”

The Coldwell Banker “Homes for Dogs National Adoption Weekend” runs Sept. 9-10.

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage and local shelters join forces for ‘Homes for Dogs National Adoption Weekend’ On Sept. 9 and 10, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage San Diego offices and local shelters are joining hundreds of Coldwell Banker offices and animal shelters around the country for the Coldwell Banker “Homes for Dogs National Adoption Weekend.” For adoption event locations, please contact a Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage affiliated agent or office. The nationwide adoption weekend is part of the “Homes for Dogs Project,” a three-year campaign launched by Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC and Adopt-a-Pet.com, North America’s largest non-profit pet adoption website. In just the first year alone, the organizations helped to facilitate more than 20,000 adoptions. Coldwell Banker launched “Somebody to Love,” in April 2017, a national advertising campaign which told the stories of a man and a homeless

dog who find each other. It was lauded one of the highest ranking ads of all time by Ace Metrix, and was praised by the New York Times as being a “commercial to love.” “We are lucky enough to help people in the San Diego community find new homes every day,” said Jamie Duran, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Orange County, Riverside County and San Diego Companies. “Now, we get to extend that service to homeless pets in need. It’s a win-win.” Find more information about the event and where to adopt a pet in the area, visit adoptapet.com/ homesfordogs.
