Tween dancer Merrick Hanna has 'Got Talent' BY PAM KRAGEN amously taciturn TV talent judge Simon Cowell isn’t one to gush. But when it came to appraising the robot-style dancing of 12-year-old Merrick Hanna on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” this summer, he hasn’t held back. “This to me was one of the best performances I’ve ever seen on the show,” said Cowell, after the Encinitas middle-schooler auditioned in May. Since then, Merrick has continued to rise in the weekly competition series. Recently, he made it through to the semifinals, where he will compete against 21 other top acts (Merrick will be performing on the Sept. 12 episode). Merrick — who started dancing three years ago and specializes in styles known as “popping” and “animation” — said he can hardly believe the response he’s received from Cowell (who gives him a standing ovation after each performance) and the TV audience. “I’m not expecting them to stand and I don’t expect the applause, because I look at the other acts performing with me and they’re all

Council continues Encinitas to crack down to explore transition on late-night noise to district elections BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY As the Encinitas City Council on Sept. 6 continued deliberating how to transition Encinitas into district elections, the council members agreed that one thing would not change — the five distinct communities. Whether the council moves to five districts and a rotating mayor, or four districts with an elected mayor, would not change the established communities of Cardiff, New Encinitas, Old Encinitas, Leucadia and Olivenhain, the council members said. "If you live in Olivenhain today, you will live in Olivenhain tomorrow," Council member Joe Mosca vowed. But Chris Skinnell, the special counsel the city hired to help develop the district plan, said because of the diverse

populations in each community, it would be impossible to have the districts and communities be one in the same. For example, the city’s largest community, New Encinitas, current has about 17,000 residents. In comparison, Olivenhain has about 5,500 residents. Three residents came to the meeting to speak regarding their opposition to the city moving to district elections, a decision the city council unanimously agreed to at its Aug. 30 meeting. The residents said people take pride in their communities and worried how districting may affect that. "This seems really divisive," said resident Lori Michaels. "It's really carving [the city] up into a very segmented pie." SEE ELECTIONS, A16

BY BARBARA HENRY Two retired Sheriff's deputies will begin inspecting downtown's alcohol-serving establishments and providing other late-night aid in October as the city launches a new ordinance that aims to reduce the area's partying woes. "These are sworn deputies. These are officers with experience in defusing intense situations and dealing with unruly behaviors," acting city planning director Roy Sapa’u said Aug. 30 as he described the retiree proposal to the City Council. The council unanimously backed the idea, saying it was an innovative pilot project and would be more affordable than hiring city code enforcement employees. Plans call for the two retirees, who will each make up to $28,800, start work on Oct. 1 and stay in the job until June 30. They'll work three days a week from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. when downtown's bar-hopping scene is at its liveliest. "I think this is creative and great and I'm so thrilled the staff came up with it," Mayor Catherine Blakespear said. Councilman Tony Kranz agreed, but said he was concerned that retired deputies

might not want the jobs, given the late-night working shifts. "They're retirees and that's kind of late at night," he said. "I know at 9 o'clock I'm ready to hit the hay and I'm not retired yet." Sheriff's Lt. Ted Greenawald told him that he didn't expect it to be a problem to find people to take the jobs. "Some of our retirees are 50 and a day, so we have some pretty spry retirees," he said. On Sept. 1, Encinitas substation Capt. John Maryon said he was getting ready to fill the positions and had just sent an e-mail to the head of the Sheriff's Department's 960 program — the temporary work program for retired deputies — describing what the two jobs would entail. "I'm hopeful, hopeful I can sell it," he said. The 960 program typically provides retired deputies for courtroom weapons screening or building-entry guard duty requests,. No other San Diego-area city has used them in the way Encinitas is envisioning, he said. As retirees, they're limited in what they can do under pension program guidelines. They can't work full-time and they can't be used to replace regular, full-time deputies. SEE NOISE, A17

‘For Your Sweetheart’

Tovey raises awareness about diabetes’ connection to heart disease BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe Attack’s Malcolm Tovey is taking part in For Your Sweetheart, a national campaign to raise awareness about the critical link between type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Tovey, a type 2 diabetic, was unaware of the link until he discovered he had two blocked arteries and would likely die from heart disease if he did not make a healthy lifestyle change. The For Your Sweetheart campaign, which was developed and sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly and Company, also encourages people with type 2 diabetes to learn more about their risk factors for the sake of their “Sweethearts,” the people they love. “Ever since I found out about the link between diabetes and heart disease, I’ve done everything to make positive lifestyle changes,” said Tovey, who received assistance from his own Sweethearts, daughter Briana and girlfriend Angela. “I’m very careful about my diet, I’ve increased my exercise and dropped 50 pounds.” Due to the complications associated with diabetes, such as high blood sugar, high blood pressure and obesity, cardiovascular disease is a major complication and the leading cause of death associated with diabetes. People with diabetes are two to four times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease than people without diabetes. Approximately 50 percent of deaths in people with type 2 diabetes worldwide and approximately two-thirds of deaths in people with type 2 diabetes in the U.S. are caused by cardiovascular disease. When Tovey looks back, pre-diagnosis, there weren’t that many overt signs that he was diabetic. He sometimes lacked energy and had gained weight but he led a very active lifestyle — he has been with Rancho Santa Fe Attack soccer for 20 years and is the current director of coaching, he’s a PE teacher at The Nativity School and the varsity soccer coach at The Bishop’s School.

“That was my first mistake, I was completely in denial,” Tovey said. About 13 years ago, Tovey was in the hospital for a broken leg when the doctors discovered he had two blocked arteries and would have to undergo an immediate cardiovascular surgery to put in stents. The blocked arteries were attributed to complications from his type 2 diabetes. He had plenty of time in the hospital to think about the choices he’d made as he had to wait for three days after the stents were put in before surgery to repair his broken leg. “The broken leg may have saved my life,” Tovey said. The experience made him completely re-evaluate the way he treated his disease and motivated him to take his health and wellbeing seriously. But he didn’t do it alone. “My daughter has been very influential in helping me,” Tovey said of Briana. “I have a sweet tooth and I call the little princess the fridge police.” Both Briana and Angela help keep him on track, unhealthy food never lasts long in the household. Tovey said his Sweethearts took the diabetes diagnosis seriously from the start and encouraged him to speak with his doctor to get COURTESY more educated — “You don’t want to mess with them,” he said. This year Briana and Angela purchased a 24-hour blood Malcolm Tovey and his Sweetheart, daughter Briana. glucose monitor that registers Malcolm’s blood sugar online. After her father was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, If the results get too high, alerts can be sent to his family Briana helped him make good choices for his health. members. “Diabetes is a silent killer, it just creeps up on you slowly “They’ve been a wonderful support mechanism,” Tovey and you don’t even realize it’s happening,” Tovey said. “When said. “External support is massive but you really have to I was diagnosed, it was quite a shock.” intrinsically buy into the program yourself for it to be truly Tovey said he didn’t take his diagnosis seriously and he effective.” didn’t have the information he needed to make the correct The reformed chocoholic said as much as possible he now choices. It was hard for him to grasp that he was a diabetic — makes the right food choices and, as a coach and PE teacher, after all, he was an athletic coach and teacher and he works to share that message with his young players and exercised nearly seven times a week.

Kids try new robotic surgery technology in Oceanside

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Kids from the Boys & Girls Club of Oceanside stepped into the shoes of surgeons on Aug. 30 when they had the chance to try out a new robotic system for operations. The system, called the da Vinci Xi, is now being used at Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside, as well as at various hospitals around San Diego. Tri-City is currently the only hospital in North County utilizing the technology, according to a news release. Dr. Adam Fierer, general surgeon at Tri-City, brought the machine to the club to explain the new technology and have the children see what it was like themselves. “I think we had maximized our playbook with the old system,” Fierer said. “Where we wanted to go needed the new technology.” The Xi — which the hospital began using three months ago — replaces the old Si

system, which had a similar functionality. Both machines use a robotic arm and camera system to get into tight spaces that might be difficult for a doctor to place his or her hand into, Fierer said. As doctors control the robot with their arms, like a remote-controlled car, the robot moves its arms around, and all of the footage of the surgery from an attached camera can be seen live on a screen. But the biggest improvement with the Xi is that it has a bedside cart, in which the Xi system is mounted on a boom rather than centrally stationary on the cart. Prior to the Xi, doctors would have to flip the operating room table backward so the anesthesiologist was standing at the food of the table, instead of at the head of the table. Now, instead of moving the table, the surgeons simply shift the boom around. The technology is mostly used for the

Fierer said. “It really allows us to broaden our scope of practice and really accomplish operations better, faster and safer,” he said. Fierer said he believes it was a natural choice for the children to see how the machine worked. “Kids are naturally interested in cool things, robots certainly,” he said. “Hopefully, this is a couple generations of healthcare workers in the making. I think it’s exciting for them to learn a little bit about medicine, which is a strange field to most of them.” BRITTANY WOOLSEY Alexander Duffy, 14, of Oceanside, compared the robot to a video game with an Dr. Adam Fierer, right, of Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside, assists 14-year-old objective of placing rings on colored shapes. Alexander Duffy with a demonstration of “It was amazing,” he said. “I could see how the hospital’s da Vinci Xi robot for surgeries. it’s an advancement for medical science. It was cool to see what I could do and for the abdomen or chest cavity but it is also ideal for doctors to share their experiences with us. operations for colons, hernias and kidneys, What I did is almost similar to what they do.”

San Dieguito Academy student experiences life in a global community Tasha Gardiner-Feldman, a San Dieguito Academy student, has returned from the experience of a lifetime in a small community near Matagalpa, Nicaragua. For six weeks this summer, Tasha lived and worked with a team of Nicaraguan teenagers and local community leaders to make a contribution to the global COURTESY community. Tasha Gardiner-Feldman The summer project that develops in Nicaragua leadership skills and allows teenagers to participate as contributors on a global stage is hosted by the local San Americas. The Amigos mission is to enable a world where each young Diego chapter of Amigos de las

person becomes a lifelong catalyst for social change. This summer the San Diego Chapter of Amigos hosted 32 local high school students in smaller Latin American communities. Within their local communities, each of these Amigos dedicated a part of their summers to making a global impact in a diverse range of social fields, including Environmental Sustainability, Public Health, Civic Participation, and Youth Entrepreneurship. The 2018 Amigos summer program

has already started. Veteran Amigos in nine separate Latin American countries have already begun the process of facilitating partner agency relationships and identifying host families to support the 2018 class of Amigos. Amigos has added even more social programs for this summer, including Sports & Leadership, Leadership through Media, and Gender Equality. Since 1965, Amigos has been providing youth leadership programs in Latin America with a focus on safety first and always. The

Through death and grief, a couple finds love late in life BY SEBASTIAN MONTES omething inexplicable happened the first time Judy Wilson and Gene Humphrey sang next to each other. A long-standing practice at the Encinitas chapter of Tremble Clefs — a choir for people with Parkinson’s disease and their loved ones — places the sopranos and tenors on one side of the room, with the altos and baritones on the other. The two had rarely interacted in the two years they had both been members. But then chance — or was it fate? — put them side by side to sing “Love Can Build a Bridge” that day three years ago. “The hairs on our arms were going snap, crackle, pop,” Judy recalled one recent afternoon in Gene’s Del Mar home. “I was moving away and it didn’t matter because my little hairs were still trying to reach out for his. It was so ridiculous and I’m going, ‘What is this?’” Maybe it was the inscrutable will of the cosmos. Maybe it was just simple biology. Whatever was going on that day, their chemistry is palpable in the way they look at each other as they reflected on their late-in-life love story after a practice session with Tremble Clefs. The group, for them, has offered far more than a social outlet and the chance to perform at high schools and senior facilities. Tremble Clefs is a community, they say, that helped them grow forward into new lives after catastrophic loss, learning from and building on the pain of losing a loved one to the pernicious affliction. “For anyone whose spouse is dying slowly, you’re losing them all the time,” Gene said.

SEBASTIAN MONTES

Judy Wilson and Gene Humphrey met through the Encinitas chapter of the Tremble Clefs, a choir for people with Parkinson’s disease and their loved ones. “Years before they’ve died, they’re dying for you. Your love for them is still there but the relationship is so different.” Gene’s previous marriage had lasted 40 years and spanned his reinvention from a purveyor of fine furniture into a clinical psychologist devoted to a spiritually-based doctrine of personal growth. He had joined Tremble Clefs with his then-wife not long after her diagnosis in 2002. For years they soldiered on, bracing for the inevitable. By the time her final days arrived, he was ready to endure the loss, devastated as he sang to her at her bedside yet overcome by a gratitude he couldn’t possibly

contain. “As my wife was dying, I realized that I had, over the course of my marriage, developed a profound capacity to love,” he said. “I could feel that pouring out of my chest and onto her as she was lying there. I realized that with her death I didn’t lose that capacity; I had gained it.” In a sense, Judy’s husband died the day he tried to strangle her in their kitchen. A violent nature had been growing in him the deeper he slipped into his dementia, she said, darker and darker until the day he wrapped his hands around her throat, a grip from which she barely

broke free long enough to call neighbors. They took him to the hospital that day, and he never came home again, spending a year and a half in secured care until his death. She had by then started counseling through Elizabeth Hospice, and a year after his death, a friend convinced her to join Tremble Clefs — never mind that she hadn’t the faintest notion of the voice that had gone a lifetime untapped inside her. “I had to come up with a new life,” she said. “I had to work a lot on that, to get on with getting on.” Even from the onset of their whirlwind romance, Gene and Judy refused to shy away from the sorrow they had each endured. Instead, they embraced it, finding solace and common ground in the struggles they went through. For all its triumphs, their courtship hasn’t been free of problems of its own, whether that be their initial doubts or the long work they’ve faced in dealing with Gene’s hoarding problem. But the duo would not be deterred, and on March 14 they got engaged on the bluffs south of town, which she reciprocated a few weeks later, on the same spot, also on bended knee. In June, Gene put his home of 26 years up for sale. The moment it sells, they’ll trade in the life they’ve known for an RV and the open road — heading north if it’s warm and south if it’s cold, knowing that enough family and friends are strewn across the continent that they’ll never have to stop. As they mused about riding off into the twilight of their lives, their answers intertwined SEE LOVE, A17

BRITTANY WOOLSEY

Staff and volunteers from the Helen Woodward Animal Center carry a trio of puppies rescued from Hurricane Harvey.

Pets rescued from Hurricane Harvey arrive in San Diego BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY More than 60 rescued cats and dogs from Texas have made their way to San Diego. Staff members from Helen Woodward Animal Center in Rancho Santa Fe returned to the center Sept. 5 with 65 dogs and cats of all ages, who were rescued by Operation Pets Alive! and other Houston shelters to make room for animals that were displaced as a result of Hurricane Harvey. According to a news release from the Woodward Center, Houston shelters became too overcrowded to accommodate the victims who needed a place to keep their dogs and cats. "The help is important and necessary but has also left little-to-no room to take in stranded orphan dogs and cats," explained the Woodward Center. Montgomery-County Animal Shelter and Operation Pets Alive!, of Montgomery County, Texas, joined forces to save the nearly 700 pets from potential euthanasia and give them dry places to stay with food, water and required medical attention. The Woodward Center agreed to help with the rescue efforts, made possible by Southwest Airlines. The airline and its employees donated their airplane and time to ensure the animals arrived safely,

according to the Woodward Center. Jennifer Shorey, operations director for the Woodward Center, was one of the four staff members who flew to Texas on Aug. 31 to volunteer to help the animals. She described the trip as emotional, as she held a 10-week-old rescued puppy. “We wanted to be helpful in any way we could,” she said. “We were working a lot at the convention center, which became a relief center for a lot of the pets that had been displaced and evacuated. ... We worked directly with the shelters to take animals out of the shelters for those who were displaced. None of these are owned animals. They were all sheltered or in foster homes. We did what we could to alleviate that pressure because there’s going to be an influx of animals that are displaced from the hurricane.” The animals will be available for adoption beginning Sept. 7, Shorey said. People should visit animalcenter.org to see adoption updates of when animals are available. Helen Woodward is asking that members of the public who wish to make Harvey-related donations give to Operation Pets Alive! at operationpetsalive.org or the Montgomery-County Animal Shelter at mcaspets.org, and not Helen Woodward.

Katie Nager teaches a worker at Widows and Orphans Support Organization Uganda how to use an iMac computer.

A worker helps construct a dormitory for Widows and Orphans Support Organization Uganda, which Katie Nager and the Yoga Del Mar community raised about $2,000 for.

Yoga Del Mar raises money for school in Uganda BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY The Ugandan children stood in a line about a mile long, tossing bricks to each other for what would become their new student dormitory. For Katie Nager, watching this process was seeing her good efforts put into action first-hand. Nager, studio manager at the 17-year-old Yoga Del Mar and international relations master’s degree student at San Diego State University, spearheaded a community effort to raise about $2,000 for Widows and Orphans Support Organization Uganda (WOSO) earlier this summer. For a week in late June to early July, visitors at the yoga studio dropped off cash and checks, as well as donated to an online fundraising campaign. Staff members also donated parts of their paychecks to the efforts, and more than $2,000 worth of electronics — such as MacBooks, calculators and Microsoft Office programs — were also donated by the community. "The Del Mar yogi community was just phenomenal," Nager said. "I was pretty floored by their generosity, especially in a time when things are so chaotic and there's so much divide among communities. To see everyone come together to help a community on the other side of the world felt healing for everybody." She said she believes people were compelled to help after learning about the

poor conditions and hardships the Ugandan students there face, such as 150 girls sharing one dormitory. The children lived far away from the school, so they would stay overnight, she explained. Nager, who does community development work in San Diego and has volunteered in Africa and Tanzania in the past, took the donations with her to WOSO in Uganda from July 6 to Aug. 2. The trip was part of her thesis for school, she said. While she enjoyed raising the money, showing the workers there how to use the electronics was the most rewarding part, she recalled. "There is only one main office, which all of the staff share," Nager said. "Thanks to the donations, the main office now has its first computer. There were just files stacked to the ceiling. To be able to give them something like this was just awesome. This software will allow them to create files and apply for grants and have solid data to apply with instead of just estimations." Projectors and solar panels were also donated, which means the students can now have movie nights. While she was there, the school also began constructing the new dormitories, which were partly paid for through the donations from Yoga Del Mar. "It was so amazing to see how much you can make change happen so quickly on the other side of the world," she said.

Music and laughter filled the air at the Encinitas Elks Lodge South Coast District Follies & Steak Dinner. The action-packed summer event, held Aug. 12, featured comedy, songs, dancing and skits performed by various Elks Lodge members from Oceanside to El Cajon.

Matthew Phillips

COURTESY

San Diego musician to play KAABOO BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY n up-and-coming San Diego singer-songwriter is getting the chance to play alongside some of the biggest musical acts when he performs at KAABOO Del Mar later this month. Matthew Phillips, alongside drummer Adam Graham, will bring his mix of alternative rock and pop to the festival's TRESTLES by Voss Stage on Sept. 17 from 11:40 a.m. to 12:25 p.m. The set will include four original songs and two covers by the Goo Goo Dolls and Lifehouse, Phillips said. The 25-year-old lifelong San Diego resident was one of three winners of the Discovery Tour, which traveled to venues around Southern California before selecting musicians and comedians to join KAABOO's eclectic lineup. This time around, 70 musical acts such as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Pink, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Muse and Weezer will grace the event’s stages from Sept. 15 to 17. The festival will also include works from visual artists, food from craft vendors and more experiences. Phillips shared his excitement for KAABOO and his career thus far in an interview. For more information about Matthew Phillips, visit matthewphillipsmusic.com and follow him on Instagram at mattsmusicofficial How long have you been a musician and how did you start

playing? I've been playing music for seven years. I started in church as a guitar player, and I moved into being a worship leader. Then, I started to play with other musicians as a session guitar player. I found my way into being a solo artist out of default for just wanting to make my own music. How would you describe your sound? It's a mixture of a lot of things. I would consider my music rock/alternative with pop elements to make it a little bit edgy but still family-friendly. Two of my biggest inspirations are the Goo Goo Dolls and Lifehouse. I cover their songs in my sets because I love what they're doing and I try to emulate people who are successful in the industry. You've mentioned on your website that your sound in your live shows is akin to listening to your album. How do you accomplish that? I was a sound engineer, so I've developed a rig that essentially enables me to have a 15-piece band with only two people. I'm doing something that not a lot of people are doing. I have a lot of instruments in the background of my music — like strings and bass — that I've played that really make this huge sound that normally I would have to have many more people on stage for. How did you get the chance to play KAABOO? I saw a Facebook ad for GigTown that said KAABOO was looking for local acts.

I've worked with GigTown many times before, so I knew it was legit. I signed up, put my music in there and KAABOO invited me to come play a show at the Music Box, which is my favorite venue. I was overjoyed to play there for this competition. What does it feel like to you to be playing alongside artists like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tom Petty? Those two names you just mentioned played the Superbowl. I'm getting goosebumps right now just saying that. It's overwhelming, but it's what I want to do. I want to be playing festivals like this all over the world. This is my passion and dream. How does playing KAABOO compare to the rest of your musical career? This is one of the biggest festivals I'm going to play for some time. This is definitely the biggest one I've played thus far. What are some of your favorite memories so far as a musician? There was a really awesome moment when I sold out the House of Blues [in San Diego]. I had just finished my last song, the stagehand looked at me and I asked, "San Diego, should we do one more?" There was this roar that happened that was a moment I'll never forget. It was so cool to have that much support and love. What are your goals as a musician? I want to tour around the world and not just be a national act.

Del Mar doctor takes an alternate route with autism and ADHD BY SEBASTIAN MONTES For three decades, Dr. Lisa Loegering steeped herself in the pharmaceutical-heavy, symptom-centric treatments of western medicine. But now, at the private practice she started last year in Del Mar, she’s carving a different path — one that relies on a nutrients-based treatment to correct deficiencies in her patients’ brain chemistry. Truth is, Loegering always harbored an interest in alternative medicine, even back during the decade she spent at the UCLA School of Medicine for her medical degree, residency and fellowship in child development and behavior. That interest only grew during her two decades of working with children at the Scripps Clinic and in the Sharp healthcare system. It was then that

attention-deficit disorder was booming and Ritalin and Adderall were standard treatment throughout the pediatric world. Parents were relieved to see their kids do better, but invariably, the side effects would arrive swiftly and sometimes be severe. “I’m sure I prescribed way too many pharmaceuticals back then,” she said. “In western medicine, you diagnose symptoms and you treat that. But you rarely look at why it happened.” More and more, she saw families turning to alternative practitioners. In those early days it was hard to separate fact from fiction, but with time, those practitioners matured the science, studies and data, giving the movement critical mass. And when she saw her father respond to a

nutrients-based treatment after his Parkinson’s diagnosis, she knew it was time for her to enter a new medical arena. First came the Institute for Functional Medicine, where she learned about building personalized treatment plans based on a detailed understanding of a patient’s genetic, biochemical and lifestyle factors. After that she immersed herself in the data-rich environment of the Walsh Research Institute, the central tenet of which is the fact that many of the vitamins, minerals and amino acids that come from food are also the building blocks in neurotransmitter synthesis. She fused those fields together with her experience as a board-certified pediatrician into the approach she launched early

COURTESY

Dr. Lisa Loegering, a Del Mar resident for more than 20 years, is a board-certified pediatrician who now specializes in a nutrient-based course of treatment for children with autism and ADHD. She launched her private practice, Integrative Pediatrics of Del Mar, last year. last year at Integrative Pediatrics of Del Mar, where she specializes in difficult cases of kids with autism and ADHD as well as anxiety and depression. “I didn’t want to be in any kind of traditional setting. I don’t want the short appointments. I already did that,” she said. “I wanted a different venue where I could use all my skills. I love alternative medicine and it made sense with my extensive experience in traditional medicine. Really, to be able to help people, to put that all together to do the most good for the kids in the most need, that’s my

main goal —to be a parent’s answer to a difficult situation.” The practice on Camino del Mar has grown over its 18 months, yet remains small enough to ensure she can give her cadre of families the intimate attention needed for her meticulous treatment. But she cautions that the treatment isn’t for everyone. Starting with a 60- to 90-minute session, she puts together a patient profile using their medical history and analyses of blood and urine to give her a vantage into the biomarkers involved in producing

neurotransmitters. From there she can she carefully crafts a set of lifestyle interventions that include supplements, vitamins and changes to diet designed to target specific changes in brain biochemistry —naturally, rather than with foreign molecules that compel the brain into abnormal states. “Not everybody’s biochemisty is right for pharmaceuticals,” she said. “For a lot of these kids, the pharmaceuticals are not working right. Some kids probably do need pharmaceutical help, but a lot of these kids are on three medications and they’re totally sedated. That’s probably not good for them, so I’ll try to get them down to two or even one.” The treatment requires vitamins in the morning and more at night. Extensive lab work is common. The regimen is typically pricier than a bottle of pills. And while pharmaceuticals can yield immediate results, her route is slower, gentler and more deliberate. Some patients need up to four months before results start to show. “It takes a certain kind of SEE DOCTOR, A17

For the love of the craft

“

Encinitas local opens up The Brewers Taproom in Encinitas Village Square BY KAREN BILLING The best of San Diego’s independent craft brews can now be found in one place with the opening of The Brewers Taproom in Encinitas Village Square. Owner Chris Duncan curates the rotating tap list, featuring 25 offerings from purely independent and small breweries, beers you typically wouldn’t find anywhere but their own tasting rooms. The taproom opened up on July 26 and celebrated with a three-day grand opening “extravaganza” on the last weekend in August. Duncan said “New Encinitas” was in need of a spot like this — a small, unique hangout for friends and beer lovers. “We don’t brew beer, we honor the brewers that do. This will be something special in Encinitas, the local gathering place we’ve been waiting for,” said Duncan, a longtime Encinitas local. “Everyone says they love this location because it’s so easy, it’s right here in the neighborhood.” Duncan kept the look of the bar simple, aiming to replicate the feel of a brewery tasting room with stained concrete floors, corrugated metal siding and a reclaimed wood

Duncan’s background is in the healthcare and pharmaceutical business, where he worked for 23 years before deciding instead to focus on something he was passionate about: really good beer. “I’ve been a beer nut all my life,” Duncan said. “I even used to do my own homebrewing but the beer

I asked myself, ‘Why am I working so hard to make mediocre beer?’” Duncan first explored purchasing a craft beer distribution company and through the process he learned all about the challenges that small breweries have with distribution — they don’t make enough to compete with larger breweries and they have to hustle to get their beers into establishments. “I thought what they really need is a place dedicated to them,”

oday’s life is filled with too much stress. The solution: Create your own personal “Breathing Room.” The new big trend for 2018. These are spaces people are creating where they can pause to take some long, deep breaths, meditate and hit the reset button on your busy day. Adding green plants can help to give that space a feeling of peace and beauty and they help to clean the air too. If you are in need of a “Breathing Room” here are some plants that work and some tips to keep them healthy. The best Breathing Space has both hanging and upright plants. Begin with a corner or other space either inside or on your patio. Add in a chair and a small table. Your favorite meditation reading is good. Then surround yourself with some of your favorite foliage plants

to give your space definition and a sense of privacy. Easiest hanging green plants: Most fun is the Spider plant in a Macramé hanger. Spider plants are so much fun because at the end of each long stem is a baby Spider plant waiting to take root and grow. Yes, it’s back to the ’60s when plants in Macramé hangers were the rage. Evelyn’s memory: Standing by the fridge working on a partially-done Macramé creation. Of course, typical Evelyn, it was never finished. Oh well. Today I will just buy one for my “Breathing Space.” Do you have Macramé memories? Everything comes back if we wait long enough. Plants: Ivies grow fast but can be tricky indoors. The heart shaped Philodendron and its cousin the variegated Pothos are almost foolproof. Hoyas have thick, waxy leaves and even have an occasional

A Spider plant flower. A spider plant is fun and super easy. Fiddle leaf fig or Ficus lyrata is currently the most popular with big broad fiddle-shaped leaves. All of the Ficus family make good house plants. Outdoors, it’s smart to keep them under control in a container. The Hawaiian Ti plant is one of my favorites. I love the dark red leaves of this easy-to-grow Cordyline. Of course, you must have a Peace Lily with its glossy green leaves and beautiful white flowers.

Care: The easiest way for healthy, happy house plants. Cool water showers. Yes, just like you hop in that shower to get clean, your house plants need an occasional shower. Insect pests thrive on dusty, dry leaves. A shower every few months will help to keep them away. Shower hints: Your bathroom shower is the easiest place. Cool water, a bit of liquid soap is OK as long as you rinse well. You can run the water through the soil several times to rinse out any excess accumulation of salts. If you have softened water an outdoor shower is best but not crucial. Do not put your indoor house plant out in the sun to dry off. Quick way to a damaging sun burn and resulting ugly plant. Feed half-strength any liquid fertilizer every two months. The less light your plants are getting the less fertilizer they need. If you are looking for an easy almost invisible way to hang plants, raid the ocean fishing tackle box for some strong line. Double or triple it and it makes a super strong hanger. When leaves have burned tips, just trim them off. Peace and Love and enjoy some Breathing Room.

Fundraiser to help mothers of critically ill newborns BY MARLENA MEDFORD Suzanne Seui was expecting her fourth child when she received devastating news: Her daughter, Manaia, would be born with a rare and serious condition that causes intestines to push into the chest cavity. It would require major surgery soon after birth, and an extended stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). “My heart hurt for her,” she recalled. “It pained me to know she was going to face so much at such a young age.” Seui knew because this was not her first visit to the NICU. Her older son was born with cerebral palsy — something she said overwhelmed her with stress and sadness. But this time around, Seui said she has found saving grace in Miracle Babies, a nonprofit that gives support and financial assistance to mothers of critically ill newborns in the NICU. “Knowing I have support this time around has made such a huge difference,” she said. “It makes me feel like I can get through this. It makes me feel like I can overcome anything for my kids.” Miracle Babies will be raising money to help hundreds of women like Seui during its annual gala, slated for Saturday, Sept 23, from 5 to 11 p.m. at Rancho Valencia in Rancho Santa Fe. The event — this year

themed “Celestial Serenade” — will feature a cocktail reception, dinner, live entertainment, dancing, and silent and live auctions. Dr. Sean Daneshmand founded Miracle Babies in 2009, and said aside from fundraising, the gala provides an opportunity to learn more about the full scope of work the nonprofit does. “Our big picture goal is to make society better as a whole — and we believe we can start doing that by supporting mothers because they are raising our next generation,” he explained. “If we can help give children respect and hope, I believe we will see more compassion and unity in the future.” Daneshmand explains that focusing on the mother’s wellbeing has a ripple effect that impacts her newborn — something he has witnessed firsthand as an OBGYN who specializes in high-risk pregnancies. “In the NICU I have seen mothers from all walks of life and they all love their babies the same way —regardless of their age, race, religion or socioeconomic status,” he said. “But, of course, not all mothers can to be at the NICU around the clock for months on end. And that’s a shame because a mother’s voice, her touch — that all has a profound impact on the baby’s recovery.” Through Miracle Babies,

FROM HANNA, A1 come as a complete surprise. Shawn’s mother, 80-year-old Judith Lynne Hanna, is a noted dance author and scholar and has taught dance anthropology at the University of Maryland. Merrick describes his grandmother, who was backstage at his “AGT” audition, as a big influence on his life. But the inspiration for his performance style came from another “America’s Got Talent” act, the San Diego-born hip-hop dance crew Jabbawockeez. “The reason I chose this style over other styles of dance is that I really liked robots and saw Jabbawockeez doing animation and thought it looked similar to a robot.” Two of Merrick’s three performances on “America’s Got Talent” have been bittersweet dances about a lonely robot boy, set to songs by Alec Benjamin, “I Built a Friend” and “Lost Boy.” Merrick started taking dance classes at the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA with instructor Cameron Greene. They’re still working together, but Merrick is now one of Greene’s only students. Merrick also takes instruction and choreographic assistance from Poppin John of the SoulBiotics Krew. But for the most part, the Hannas say Merrick comes up with his own songs, story ideas and choreography. The biggest challenge this past summer has been finding new songs and dance steps each time he makes it through to the next level. Many of his suggestions have come from his fans on social media. “It’s very challenging to create a performance that tops the last one,” he said.

Baby Manaia has spent the past couple months in the NICU following a major surgery. With the help of Miracle Babies, her mother Suzanne Seui has been able to spend more time bonding with her, which has helped her recovery. Daneshmand has helped thousands of mothers stay with their critically ill newborns. In fact, so far this year alone, the organization has provided financial assistance to more than 500

“America’s Got Talent” is just Merrick’s latest competition. He has also been a contestant on “So You Think You Can Dance The Next Generation” and “Lip Sync Battle Shorties.” He has also performed on “The Ellen Show” and commercials for H&M, Honda and Gap Kids. Juggling the show and family has been a challenge this past summer. Merrick and his mom have spent weeks at a time at an L.A. hotel while the series rehearses and tapes in Pasadena. Last weekend they came home for three days, just long enough to do laundry and a little family bonding before heading back up again on Sunday. For the semifinals, Merrick will have to miss the first two weeks of school, though Aletha said all of the children on the show get a mandatory three hours of school instruction each day. Shawn said Merrick has received so much interest as a result of the show, the family is considering a temporary relocation to L.A. Merrick said he hates the idea of leaving his school and his friends behind but he does want to pursue an acting career. Whether he makes it through to the finals is the next big question. Although he has some big fans on the judging panel, Merrick hasn’t generated the buzz among TV viewers as some of the other acts this season. He said the shock he expresses on-camera during the results episodes is genuine. “It’s not like I’m really nervous I’m going to get eliminated, I expect to get eliminated,” he said. “I’m not expecting to move on each time, so I just really want to enjoy the experience and live in the moment.” – Pam Kragen is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

FROM ELECTIONS, A1 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. The city received a letter July 20 from Santa Monica-based attorney Kevin Shenkman, who threatened to sue the city if it did not move to district elections. In his four-page letter, Shenkman 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 accused Encinitas of being discriminatory against Latinos, saying 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. Shenkman has targeted many cities around California to move from at-large elections to district elections. In San Diego County, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Poway and Vista recently complied with his demands. Palmdale has so far been the only city to contest Shenkman in court, but ultimately lost in trial. Mayor Catherine Blakespear considered districting an important transition to avoid litigation. 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. "We would be a test case because there is not a settled case in this," Blakespear said. "It's about choosing your battles, and I don't think this is a battle we should be choosing."

services to deal with the emotional trauma of having a critically ill newborn. The nonprofit also funds medical research, and hopes to begin offering educational support for children who spent time in the NICU, as many have lingering learning challenges. Seui said she will be forever grateful for Miracle Babies, and encourages others to support its mission however they are able. “This is literally a chance to change someone’s life,” she said. “I can promise you I would not have made it through this very difficult time of my life without Miracle Babies. And I’ve formed relationships and gained knowledge that I will carry with me. Miracle Babies has helped me be a better mother, which will benefit my children — and I’m so thankful for that.” Tickets to Miracle Babies’ gala can be purchased on the event website at www.miraclebabiesgala.org. Sponsorship opportunities are also available starting at $5,500. Underwriting opportunities and in-kind donations are also being accepted. For more information please contact Miracle Babies at (858) 633-8540 or via email at gala@miraclebabies.org. For more information about Miracle Babies, visit www.miraclebabies.org

Each council member seemed to not completely be in favor of districting but agreed with Blakespear. Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz suggested the decision for four districts with an elected mayor, or five districts and a rotating mayor, should be left to the voters. He also suggested a scientific survey in conjunction with the city's decision on how to regulate marijuana. Blakespear opposed the election, citing the city's need to make a decision within 90 days to avoid a lawsuit. During the 90-day period, the city will work with a demographer to develop a series of maps with options for how the city could be districted. Residents are also invited to share their thoughts in public forums and make maps of their own on paper and through an online program in the coming weeks. The next public hearing is scheduled for Sept. 20. Mosca suggested putting an overlay for elections but not changing community boundaries. He also said the city's best option could be districts going east to west so each council member is representing important corridors like Coast Highway 101 and El Camino Real. He also wanted to avoid people solely identifying with coastal and inland living. Council member Tasha Boerner Horvath said districting could be a positive thing to give more residents a chance to voice their opinions. "The voices of each person in that district are louder because there's someone representing them," she said. Blakespear said regardless of what happens with the districting, the communities and their characters will stay intact. "Community character is not maintained by the electeds," she said. "It's the events and the feelings and the people who put those on."

Maybe they’ll sow the seeds of new Tremble Clefs chapters. But no matter what, they’ll carry their message to anyone who’ll listen that it’s never too late to find love. “Something I want people to know is that I’m in my late 70s and this is the most passionate relationship I’ve had in my life,” Gene said. “And I just turned 75,” Judy says. “Most people feel like it’s over. But what I would love to tell people at this age is that you can find out things about yourself, you can learn to sing, you can fall in love. I’ve been given these gifts all at an older age. I think people lose hope sometimes. We’ve found what we’ve found because we have such an enthusiasm for life and living it to the best of our abilities. It’s a wonderful thing. People should never lose hope.”

Breweries that have been featured in the taproom include Aztec, Monkey Paw, Council, Lost Abbey and the one-year-old Longship Brewery. One brewery that Duncan is especially excited about is Burgeon Beer Company, a Carlsbad brewery started by a trio of La Costa Canyon High School graduates, a place close to Duncan’s heart as all three of his sons attended school there. “Their beer is great and it’s neat

You’re basically correcting underlying deficiencies and prodding the body to make more neurotransmitters. That takes time.” For those who stay with it, the pay-off is well worth the trouble and expense, she said. Side effects are rare, and her treatment can make the brain more receptive to other forms of therapy — for example, Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) for autism. And while autism remains without a

FROM NOISE, A1 Plans call for the Encinitas retirees to inspect alcohol-serving establishments to check that they're not exceeding occupancy limits or noise standards. They'll also be investigating the complaints about public intoxication, loitering and noise that are reported to a city hotline number. Those complaints typically haven't been followed up immediately after they're reported and this system will provide that benefit, Councilwoman Tasha Boerner Horvath said. Maryon said the retirees will have the power to make arrests, but that won't be their primary job. Regular, full-time deputies will typically handle any arrests, he said. Encinitas City Manager Karen Brust and the city's planning department

because they’re local guys,” said Duncan noting that Burgeon’s brand new Study Abroad IPA, a mix of Mosaic, Galaxy and Nelson hops, quickly became the taproom’s number one seller last week. Duncan usually only orders one keg of each brew he selects so when it’s kicked, a new one will rotate right into its place, “It keeps people coming back because they never know what’s going to be on tap,” Duncan said. Brewers is not allowed to fill growlers by law but they do have a selection of bottles and cans to go and while the taproom doesn’t serve food, customers are welcome to bring in outside food. Some have taken to grabbing a burger from Habit or a slice from Flippin Pizza and coming in and enjoying it with a beer.

“It’s kind of surreal,” Duncan said of opening the doors on a dream. “My friends come in and say ‘You actually did it.’” Duncan is in the tasting room every day, serving up brews from behind the bar or visiting with guests. Since opening, it’s been so much fun seeing many friends he and his wife Lorie haven’t seen in years, friends from YMCA Adventure Guides and Little League teams — his son’s second grade teacher even stopped in for a taste. “It’s become a total local neighborhood gathering place,” Duncan said. “We are so grateful for all the support.” The Brewers Tap Room is located on 1456 El Camino Real in Encinitas, open daily from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Find them on Facebook @TheBrewersTapRoom

eczema and trouble sleeping. “Parents will say after a few months their child is like a different child. Some parents will say they don’t get sick at all anymore,” she said. “There are a lot of side benefits. I know that it works, it just works at different rates and it takes a lot of work.” Dr. Lisa Loegering will be giving a series of talks at local libraries about her approach to treating ADHD, the first of which is at 6 p.m. on Oct. 17 at the Carmel Valley Library.

put forward the retiree staffing proposal, saying it could help Encinitas have a successful launch of its "deemed approved" ordinance. The ordinance, which takes effect Sept. 9, creates a new certification system for alcohol-serving establishments, requiring them to meet noise and public nuisance standards or face fines and ultimately the loss of their permits. Sought for years by downtown residents, the ordinance aims to combat problems with late-night noise, public drunkenness and other alcohol-related issues along the city's Coastal Highway 101. Though the focus is on the downtown region, the ordinance will apply to all of the city's 134 restaurants, bars and other establishments that serve alcohol for on-site consumption. On Aug. 31, Councilman Mark Muir

asked whether the retirees would be sent to other parts of town than the Coast Highway region. Greenawald responded that they would focus on the downtown and would only go to other areas in emergency situations. Councilman Joe Mosca asked whether the retirees would be in uniform or plain clothes, saying he worried that uniforms would set the wrong tone for the program. The city manager told him that it was up to the city to decide, and she was recommending plain clothes. On Sept. 1, Maryon said that was his preference as well, mentioning that he already has uniformed officers patrolling the area and the retires would find it easier to do their observation duties if they were not in uniform.

FROM SCHOOL RATINGS, A2 the street, Torrey Pines High School. We are happy to be ranked number one in the county, but how great is it that Torrey is number two and SDA is number six? We have great educators in this district,and it is a district that has learned to do more with less, since we are the lowest funded high school district in the state of California,” says CCA Foundation Executive Director, Joanne Couvrette. “The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation’s theme for this year is ‘Grit and Gratitude’ and we are very grateful for our teachers, our students, and our parents who keep the focus on education and enrichment.” The top-ranked San Dieguito Union High School District is number 77 out of 77 high school districts in state funding, receiving just $8,319 per student in Local Control Funding Formula monies. The state average is $9,750 per student. “There are currently 12,799 students enrolled in the district, so if the district were to receive just the average funding it would be $18,315,369 more for these top-ranked high schools and their talented teachers and students,” the news release stated. The school foundations, through the generosity of its donors, contribute approximately $6 million to the school district programs each year, to fulfill their unified missions of enriching the experiences of district students. The gap in funding for the top-ranked district in the county is much higher when compared to a district with comparable demographics, the Los Gatos-Saratoga District, which receives $4,934 more in per student funding, according to the news

release. With the district’s current enrollment of 12,799, an additional $4,934 per student would amount to a total of $63,150,266 if the district were funded at an equivalent per student rate as Los Gatos, the news release said. Many parents credit the school district administrators for maintaining such a high level of performance on such a comparatively low amount of funding. Said one district parent in the news release, “I think we need to sing the praises of this school district’s management team, who are obviously proving that you can do a lot with a little. The number one district on the smallest budget is a very impressive accomplishment!” Canyon Crest Academy recently hosted a parent panel for the school’s new student orientation, which included former and current CCA parents answering questions and giving tips to parents of the entering freshman class. According to Kelley Vacheron, former CCA Grad Nite chair, and parent of three CCA graduates, “This is a private school education at a public school price, free! Of course, we all pay our taxes, but there are a lot of families out there paying a $35,000 tuition who cannot boast this level of education. We are so lucky. This is a great community of parents, who are involved in the school in so many ways.” She also mentioned that Canyon Crest Academy is also one of the few schools in the county to offer a Grad Nite at the school site, when many other schools have moved it to an offsite location due to lack of volunteer support, the news release said. Couvrette encouraged parents at the orientation to sign up to volunteer, saying,

“I know a lot of the kids will tell their parents that they shouldn’t volunteer anymore, once they are in high school, but we have plenty of volunteer opportunities at the school and your student won’t even know you are here. Every year, the schools depend on the PTSAs and foundations to help them find volunteers to staff registration, Back-to-SchoolNight, Wellness Days, and much more.” “Most of us in this district take it for granted that we have great schools, staffed by hard-working, dedicated teachers and administrators, so we never even think to attend a school board meeting unless we have a complaint to voice. But wouldn’t it be great if every parent took the time to attend just one meeting this year to let our district

officials know we support their hard work, and encourage them to continue to put students first and focus on the mission in a positive, productive way to keep our district at the top of the educational landscape,” says Vacheron in the news release. Parents are invited to attend the next SDUHSD school board meeting, and all school board meetings, to express their gratitude and voice opinions on all educational concerns. The next meeting is on Sept. 14 at 6:30 pm at the school district offices, 710 Encinitas Blvd., Encinitas.

FROM BALLOT MEASURE, A2 consultant that she wanted him to keep the largest sites — the ones able to hold the most housing. Many of them are located at major intersections in town, including the Encinitas Boulevard and El Camino Real intersection. Fellow subcommittee member Kurt Groseclose, a former city planning commissioner who supported Measure T, said he wanted the consultant to emphasize sites that were the “most viable,” or the most straightforward to develop without requiring major zoning code changes. Some downtown sites might not meet this criteria. And, subcommittee member Bruce Ehlers, who sits on the Planning Commission and opposed Measure T, said he wanted the subcommittee’s final list to contain the “least objectionable” sites. He suggested eliminating ones near Cottonwood Creek Park as well as one on a steep hillside site near the intersection of Encinitas Boulevard and Rancho Santa Fe Road. Audience members also had a few suggestions. Two women said they wanted one of the two sites at El Camino Real and Encinitas Boulevard removed so the traffic impacts would be reduced, while folks who live near Coast Highway 101 said they thought there were too many proposed sites along that route. City officials are facing ever-increasing pressure to get their housing planning project done. Encinitas is the only city in San Diego County and one of less than a dozen statewide that lack a current, state-certified Housing Element — a state-mandated document that spells out how a city proposes to accommodate its future housing needs, particularly those of low-income residents. In addition to the state, the city is facing pressure from the development community. Encinitas has been sued multiple times over its housing plan situation, and several more lawsuits have been filed in recent months, including one by the Building Industry Association of San Diego County The city has put forward multiple proposals for meeting the state requirement in recent years, with the most recent option being Measure T. That ballot measure aimed to meet the state’s future housing requirements as well as the state’s current target, and proposed easing the city’s building height restrictions to accommodate all those extra units. Opponents seized on the building height issue, saying relaxing the height limit would lead to the development of huge structures that would destroy the city’s character. At Tuesday’s workshop session, subcommittee members said they’ll be concentrating on meeting the state’s current housing target for the city and will likely propose a plan that would allow roughly 1,500 additional homes — or less than half what Measure T offered.
