Residents to appeal approval of Modern Times beer tasting room Citizens panel hopes to overturn decision on 150-seat facility BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A group of residents is appealing the Encinitas planning commission's decision to approve a beer-tasting room downtown in July. The Encinitas Citizens Committee (ECC) will go before the city council, tentatively set on Oct. 11, in hopes to overturn the commission's approval of the opening of the 150-seat Modern Times Beer tasting room, which is set to open at 470 South Coast Highway 101. The tasting room was heavily debated at the July 20 planning commission meeting, with many Encinitas residents and business owners stating alcohol establishments need to be halted downtown. The commission appeared split during its deliberations but ultimately voted 3-2 to approve the business. Commissioner Kevin Doyle was the deciding vote in the July decision, agreeing with fellow Commissioners Greg Drakos and Al Apuzzo that the city should not discourage new businesses from coming in because of "bad actors" within the downtown community, referring to complaints from residents about nearby alcohol-serving establishments. "Evolution will root out the bad businesses over time," Drakos said at that meeting. "We should take advantage of these great businesses that want to be in our town." Shirley Finch filed the appeal on behalf of ECC on Aug. 31, according to a city document. In the appeal, Finch said Modern Times is "not consistent with Encinitas Municipal Code." She also added city staff recommended denial of the project due to "the undue concentration of alcohol-serving facilities downtown" and the Sheriff's Department's identification of downtown as a "high crime area." Finch also said law enforcement resources were not sufficient enough to deal with an additional 150 drinkers. SEE BEER, A19

Surfing Madonna run aims to become world record-holder November beach race seeks to gain ‘Largest Race on Sand’ status BY BARBARA HENRY This year’s Surfing Madonna Beach Run could be one for the record books. Organizers are hoping their Nov. 5 event on Moonlight Beach in Encinitas will win gold medal status as the world’s “Largest Race on Sand” and they’ve invited judges from Guinness World Records to observe the proceedings. “It does add to our cache to be able to tell runners about (the record-setting goal),” Wil Fisher, development director of the Surfing Madonna Oceans Project, said as he described why his organization was seeking world recognition. Word’s already started to percolate out through the running community about what they’re hoping to achieve and they’ve had a 30 percent increase in early signup registrations compared to last year, Fisher said. Last year’s event attracted about 3,800 runners and this year’s goal is 5,000.

Thousands of runners participate in the 2015 Surfing Madonna Beach Run. This year’s event on Nov. 5, which is expected to draw 5,000 participants, could set the Guinness World Record. “We’ve already had one runner who has said, ‘It’s on my bucket list to be in Guinness Book of World Records,’” he added, laughing. Even if they don’t achieve their goal of getting 5,000 people to participate in this year’s event, they’re still likely to obtain their world-class status as long as they

follow Guinness’ requirements. That’s because the “Largest Race on Sand” is a new category that they sought to create — they don’t have to beat a prior winner, Fisher said. Surfing Madonna officials sought the category’s creation by completing an application process SEE RACE, A19

City of Encinitas receives grant for dog park improvements The City of Encinitas has been awarded a $5,000 grant for new commercial-grade dog park equipment and amenities for the Maggie Houlihan Memorial Dog Park at Encinitas Community Park, 425 Santa Fe Drive. The grant was awarded through PetSafe’s annual “Bark for Your Park” campaign, which helps fund new dog park construction, maintenance and equipment upgrades. The company received 215 applications this year, and Encinitas was one of just 25 to be awarded. Improvements may include things such as benches, dog waste collection stations and agility course equipment, and will be installed later in the year. Since the launch of its nationwide program in 2011, PetSafe has been working

to create more off-leash dog parks around the country that bring like-minded members of the community together and provide a place for dogs to receive exercise and socialization. “The goal of ‘Bark for Your Park’ has always been to help communities become better places to live for people and their pets,” said Willie Wallace, CEO of Radio Systems Corporation, parent company of PetSafe. “Finding a pet-friendly community is more important than ever. Dog parks are the second must-have amenity people search for when looking for a new city to call home.” For more information about the improvements, contact Encinitas Park Operations Manager Annette Saul at 760-633-2755. — Submitted press release

City of Encinitas accepts $2 million grant from State Coastal Conservancy The City of Encinitas has accepted more than $2 million from the State Coastal Conservancy to construct the Cardiff Beach Living Shoreline Project in Spring 2018. This dune restoration project is a new approach for California in an effort to protect the shoreline from storm surges while also preserving habitat. Dune restoration is a useful sea-level rise adaptation strategy because dunes can reduce coastal storm damage by buffering the shoreline from waves and tides. Coastal dunes have been heavily impacted by development and very little of this habitat type remains in Southern California, so this proposed project will both restore a heavily impacted habitat and provide a natural sea level rise adaptation at Cardiff State Beach. The project will construct four acres of beach dunes and a dune footpath, and will support a scientific monitoring program from Charthouse Restaurant to South Cardiff

State Beach along the westside of Coast Highway 101. “The City of Encinitas is finding unique and creative solutions that improve the coastal habitat and public access while also protecting infrastructure,” said Shoreline Program Manager Katherine Weldon. “This has been a team effort between the City of Encinitas, State Coastal Conservancy, State Parks and the Coastal Commission.” An added feature of the project includes a newly constructed pedestrian dune trail placed along Coast Highway 101 to allow space for joggers and walkers and reduce traffic in the bike lane. In addition, the San Elijo Conservancy and the City of Encinitas will be expanding their environmental education program to include living shorelines and dune education along with local schools.

How to WRECK Your Retirement by overlooking possibility of need for Long Term Health Care

COURTESY PHOTOS Boys to Men Mentoring will hold its largest fundraiser, the 100 Wave Challenge, on Sept. 23 in Mission Beach.

100 Wave Challenge supports ‘life-changing’ Boys to Men Mentoring BY KAREN BILLING The eighth annual Boys to Men 100 Wave Challenge will hit Mission Beach on Saturday, Sept. 23 from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each surfer aims to raise $1,000 for Boys to Men and attempt to catch 100 waves in 10 hours — it’s a personal challenge for the wave warriors that gives a life-changing opportunity for at-risk boys in San Diego, helping them become the men they want to be. The roster of 200 surf ambassadors includes surf legends Shaun Tomson and Damien Hobgood, as well as dedicated community ambassadors such as Rancho Santa Fe’s Ernie Hahn, the general manager of the Valley View Casino Center. Boys to Men believes that one of the most reliable predictors of a young man’s success is answering the question, “Does he have a man in his life to look up to?” In San Diego County alone, there are 49,937 boys growing up in homes without fathers. A boy without a dad in his life is 20 times more likely to end up in prison, 10 times more likely to abuse drugs and nine times more likely to drop out of high school. Boys to Men mentors go into San Diego schools and offer boys a community of male role models —the mentors tell the truth about their struggles as men, praise boys for their gifts, support them when they screw up and teach them about accountability and integrity. Co-founder Joe Sigurdson said he believes it is a proven model for real change as school records show boys who participated improved their GPA by an average of 27 percent and discipline incidents declined by 85 percent. “A trust is established and it creates a safe place for the boys to start to open up and start talking about the choices they’re making right now,” Sigurdson said. “I love it. It’s so special to see these guys take risks and share their hearts and what they are willing to do to be the man they want to be. We never tell them what to do, they tell us what they are willing to do and our job is to hold them accountable and help.” “This is a miracle. We’re not the solution but we certainly are a solution.” Sigurdson developed the idea for Boys to Men in 1996 with co-founder Craig McClain and his father Herb. It started out as a three-day experiential weekend for boys and, about eight years ago, Boys to Men expanded the programs into the public school system, beginning in Spring Valley. “Those boys responded to the missing male nutrient in their diet,” Sigurdson said.

LONG-TERM CARE is the #1 Financial Risk faces by retirees. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, at least 70 percent of people over 65 will eventually need long-term care, either at home or in a nursing home, and that can be very expensive. The average stay for a woman entering a nursing home is almost four years; if she’s in a semiprivate room that costs in San Diego is about $375,000. For married couples, the chances that one spouse will need long-term care rises to 91%.

Shaun Tomson catches a wave in a past 100 Wave Challenge. “No boy ever dreams of joining a gang, getting hooked on drugs or going to prison. Behind the macho facade of even the toughest gang member is a good boy who just needs a man to care about him.” Eight years later Boys to Men is in 31 schools, with 42 circles gathering every week, reaching 800 at-risk boys, 85 percent of whom are fatherless. With a group facilitator and mentors in the circle, the boys are able to share anger, sadness and confusion they feel from growing up without a good man in their life. The mentors help create a roadmap to the men that the boys want to be. The men are honest in the circle, talking about the choices they made and consequences suffered. “The boys are able to unburden themselves, lighten their load and feel better. And when they feel better they do better. It’s quite a phenomenon,” Sigurdson said. “The more at-risk the boys are, the hungrier they are for this program. They feel it and trust it.” The first 100 Wave Challenge was held in 2010 and 50 surfers helped to raise $73,000. Last year, the event had grown to 168 surf ambassadors, bringing in $373,000. This year they are hoping to raise $425,000. Sigurdson said without the 100 Wave Challenge as the leading fundraising tool, Boys to Men mentoring would not have been able to grow as it has — the challenge now accounts for 68 percent of Boys to Men’s annual budget. This year is one of the largest groups of Surf Ambassadors yet, with 200 signed up. One the 100 Wave Challenge’s most enthusiastic surf ambassadors is Ernie Hahn. SEE WAVE CHALLENGE, A17

‘Mission: Wildlife’ raising funds for human and animal prosperity Accomplished wildlife ambassador Julie Scardina to host fundraiser Oct. 7

COURTESY THE CHEETAH CONSERVATION FUND

The fourth annual fundraiser of Mission: Wildlife will benefit groups that focus on giraffes and cheetahs, both of which are in precipitous decline. efforts include genetic research and anti-poaching patrols. “Up until maybe five years ago, even most people who paid attention to this type of stuff didn’t realize giraffes were in such steep decline,” Scardina said. With lead sponsors that include SeaWorld and the Annenberg Foundation, the Oct. 7 fundraiser, which will be held at Scardina’s home in Poway, will be family-friendly and will feature a live auction and raffle. Attendees who buy the VIP ticket will be able to go early and get up close to the wildlife. SeaWorld’s auction items will include a behind-the-scenes tour. Piper and Heath — the company that helps Scardina plan her trips to Africa — will be auctioning off a safari in Namibia. Also up for grabs: the chance to tag along with the Giraffe Conservation Fund on a week-long field expedition. “That’s a once-in-a lifetime thing,” Scardina said. “Groups like these don’t do that very often.”

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Over an illustrious 40-year career as one of the world’s foremost wildlife ambassadors, Julie Scardina has paraded an innumerable list of species before televised audiences all over the world. She’s being tight-lipped about which of Africa’s wildlife she’ll have on hand next month at the annual fundraiser for the nonprofit, Mission: Wildlife, she co-founded in 2013 with some of her former SeaWorld colleagues —maybe a crested porcupine and a few birds of prey, maybe a cerval or even a sloth. But when it came time to wrangle up a cheetah, she had no such luck. “If anybody knows how to find one, it’d be me,” she joked. Her infectious energy belies the dire straits that cheetahs and giraffes — the two species that Mission: Wildlife is focusing on this year — now find themselves in, a situation that is getting disproportionately slight attention despite being two of Africa’s most beloved species. “People don’t hear a lot about how only 8,000 cheetahs are left, or that giraffes have plummeted by 40 percent in just the last few years,” she said. “These are iconic species that nobody realizes are disappearing.” Each year, Mission: Wildlife benefits a pair of wildlife conservation groups in Africa — small agencies that are having an outsized impact through research, rescue and educational programs that try to forge lasting solutions by involving local humans as part of the remedy. The Cheetah Conservation Fund, based in Namibia, focuses on habitat restoration, research and ways to abate human-predator conflicts. The Giraffe Conservation Foundation, also based in Namibia, is the only NGO (non-governmental organization) in the world focused exclusively on giraffe conservation and research. Their

Scardina witnesses those conditions first-hand in annual excursions to Africa, which she calls conservation safaris. Her first outing came in 2013 when she and several of her SeaWorld colleagues went to Uganda and Kenya. Once they saw the pressures wildlife faced from rapidly encroaching human populations and climate change, they made a pact to find a way to help the kind of small NGOs devoted to on-the-ground impact in African ecosystems and communities. Within a few months they had created Mission: Wildlife. Their first year benefited Ewaso Lions and Save the Elephants. Their second year benefited bonobos and the Uganda Conservation Foundation. The third year came back to Ewaso Lions, as well as the group Painted Dog Conservation. It’s a rotating cast because the crises, Scardina said, are scattered all across the massive continent. “The Africa we all picture in our minds is absolutely still there in certain places, but to ignore everything else that is going on is to not help the problem,” she said. “I want Africa to be prospering 50 years from now, not continuing to lose habitats and have humans suffering along with the animals. That can only happen by helping not only the species thrive but the humans as well.” That’s why Mission: Wildlife reaches out to groups that emphasize getting humans into a mindset that wildlife’s survival can be a source of prosperity. One of the challenges the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) is taking on is that habitat loss and a shortage of prey is forcing cheetahs to hunt outside their protected territories. That increasingly means hunting livestock on ranchers’ land. CCF builds relationships with those ranchers so that they call CCF to relocate the cheetahs instead of killing them. With dwindling numbers and a shrinking range, every cheetah they save has far-reaching impact. “Even those ones and twos and threes, for a species that has so few, it makes a huge difference in the future,” Scardina SEE WILDLIFE, A17

La Costa Canyon’s cross country coach Bill Vice ready for another great season Q&A BY KEN GROSSE In the 20 years since Bill Vice took over the helm of the boys and girls cross country teams at La Costa Canyon High School he has become one of the most successful coaches in one of the most successful high school athletic programs in San Diego. Between them, his two squads have collected nine CIF team titles and finished second seven other times while dominating the Avocado League West and becoming a regular factor at the California State meet. Count LCC Athletic Director Kari DiGiulio among his fans. “Bill is a wonderful coach to work with and his teams’ competitive record speaks for itself,” says DiGiulio. “He demonstrates a strong work ethic daily and expects the same from his student-athletes, which is one of my favorite things about him. There is a reason cross country continues to win — they have a tremendous leader.” Coming off the first race of the 2017 season Sept. 9, the Connecticut native and UConn graduate took the time to talk with the Encinitas Advocate about the method behind his Mavericks’ success, what this year’s teams will look like and how he balances coaching and teaching. Q: Five years ago, you called 2011 a “dream season.” How would you describe where LCC cross country has gone from that point? Vice: That was the first time both teams won a CIF Championship in the same year and I would say it’s been “good dreams”

since then. Every year’s been great. We’ve won four CIF titles in the last five years on the girls’ side and two more with the boys. Those 2011 squads were very, very special, but we’ve continued to have fantastic teams. We’ve been fortunate to get good runners in our program and I’ve been blessed by being in the right place at the right time. Q: Both teams are coming off back-to-back CIF crowns. Talk about what the returning rosters look like and how you expect to fill the gaps. Vice: Both teams have a good nucleus of returners. The girls bring back three of the top five individuals at the 2016 CIF meet. Junior Kristin Fahy is the reigning CIF individual champion, winning last year’s race by more than 30 seconds, McKenna Brown, our only senior this year, was second and junior Jessica Riedman was fifth. We have a pair of freshmen — Sydney Weaber and Emma Welch — who I think could be right there in the top five at the end of the year. Sydney may be ready to score for us right now and Emma, whose father Greg was a great triathlete (former winner of the Ironman in Hawaii), has the genetics and a lot of potential. McKenna’s a little banged up right now but she’s hoping to be ready to compete in about three weeks. With her back and us healthy, we should be No. 1 or No. 2 in the state (D-III). On the boys’ side, the best runners are a pair of junior brothers, Jacob and Garrett Stanford who were second and fourth respectively at last year’s CIF event. They are

mirror twins and run together in races. I have to check out their shoes to tell who is who. A senior, Gavin Alshire, has been slowed down by injury issues in training but when he’s right, he could be our No. 3. Two sophomores, Anthony Seifert and Asher Savage, have shown signs that they could play bigger roles and Josh Cullins, another senior, is coming along as well. We’ve got a nice core and some promising freshmen. Q: In a program that’s been able to maintain the type of level yours has, do you have a kind of standardized set of goals every season? Vice: We do. The culture’s been built over the 20 years I’ve been here. There are high standards but everything’s laid out — what you need to do, what you can’t do and it’s

really been the kids who have created that tradition. They can look back at a year like 2011 and we just kind of say, “This is the way we did it then, this is the way we do it now” and the system has proven itself. Q: Every year’s teams are obviously different, but what are three words that you think best describe the culture of the team year-in and year-out? Vice: I think one would be “committed.” We run pretty much year-round which demands a certain level of dedication on its own. “Goofy” would be another and I say that because who wants to do what they do? We were here at 5:45 a.m. this morning. It was pitch black. We warmed up and did our run in the dark and when they came back, the sun was out. You have to be a little goofy to do that. “Unquestioning” would be the third. The kids know about the past success and figure that we know what we’re doing and that makes it a lot easier. Q: You also teach history at La Costa Canyon. What is your favorite period in history? Does your teaching carry over in some way or benefit your coaching and vice-versa? Vice: My favorite era used to be the Civil War and I still really like Civil War history but I’m starting to become more interested in the Cold War period, probably because I grew up through a major part of it. As far as coaching and the classroom, they’re exactly the same. I’m coaching in the classroom and teaching out here. There’s also carryover from having some of my runners in my classes — we both get the opportunity to see each other in a different light and one environment helps the other.

Osher gives learning opportunities at UCSD campus to people 50 and older BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Carol Roberts is preparing for her first day of school. This quarter, she'll take classes in a range of subjects, from science to politics, at UC San Diego in La Jolla. But Roberts isn't the typical college student. She's 79. The Solana Beach woman will take part in classes at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, designed for people 50 and over on the UC campus, beginning Oct. 2. There are no tests or grades, and there's very little homework, she said. Most days are filled with lectures, talks with experts and field trips. The professors are all accredited. "This is purely for the love of learning," noted Roberts, a former tourism agent. "It's so amazing the breadth of everything that you can learn. You can never say there's nothing for you to learn.

Solana Beach Storage offers convenience for customers

Since opening in 1973, not much has changed for Solana Beach Storage. It is still one of the leading businesses in North County, offering customers, essentially, extensions for their garages. In the beginning, word about the business and its central location in Solana Beach spread easily through word-of-mouth, newspaper ads and articles, said Ellen Wayne, director of marketing for Solana Beach Storage. The addition of the internet in recent years has helped progress the company. “We still rely on our central location and word-of-mouth for new customer referrals,” she said. “Our reputation for customer satisfaction is even more important as referrals are brought to us by Google and other search engines.” As the industry expands, Solana Beach Storage continues to offer services that sets it apart from its competition. One of the most significant differences is that the company provides a free truck and helper for its customers when they move their items. “The best part of this service is the look of complete relief on our customers’ faces when you tell them we will do this for them for free,” Wayne said. Customers also receive free help with organization and lifting while at the facility. Online rentals and reservations are available to help clients book as easily as possible. Wayne said customers of Solana Beach Storage have an advantage in that they are storing their items “in a very clean and centrally-located facility in which they have the even better advantage of accessing their items as often as

Solana Beach Storage offers nearly 1,000 storage rooms, ranging from 16 square feet to 10-feet-by-20-feet. Prices range from $69 to $525 for month-to-month leasing, depending on location and size, according to the company website. Wayne said the company prides itself on assisting its clients with their needs. “Our business is self-storage but the real heart of our business is our customers and our staff,” she said. “We see some customers every day and we have the honor of forming relationships with all members of the community, young and old. We want to get to know each customer and take care of their items and listen to what they need from us.” For more information about Solana Beach Storage, see 5starstorage.com, call 858-754-8750 or visit 545 Stevens Ave. in Solana Beach. — Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

The second in the series, “Women, Wine, Wellness and Wisdom” will be held on Thursday, Sept. 21. from 5-8 p.m. at Casa Aldea, the new boutique senior living community in Santaluz. This event will focus on maintaining your mind, body and spirit, while navigating issues and challenges when caring for aging family members. The vision is to bring together a dynamic group of working professionals, stay-at-home-moms and retired “wonder women” to engage, enlighten and enrich each other. The first event, held in June, was a big success. Fifty women attended the “Women, Wine, Design and Destiny” event at a new property listing in Del Sur. The biggest hit of the Rachel Collins Friedman and event was the psychic. The Linda Lederer Bernstein conversations about her “readings” were highly contagious and enjoyed by all. Linda Lederer Bernstein and Rachel Collins Friedman are Realtors with Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty. They met a little over two years ago at the Helen Woodward Animal Center annual gala. They connected right away and from there enjoyed beach concerts, birthdays and work-related events. From there they became fast friends and confidants. As they say, they live, love and laugh together! “It is so nice to have someone you know you can trust, share with and support.” They wish to create a safe and fun space where women can support and nurture each other through life cycle events. Registration required. To register and for more information, contact Linda at llederer2@gmail.com or Rachel at rcollinsfriedmanrealestate@gmail.com.

Burning gourds and a desire to build a community through visual arts BY LISA DEADERICK Gourds remind Grace Swanson of home in Nigeria. She and her siblings were born and raised there after her parents traveled to Nigeria as missionaries during World War II. After returning to the United States to attend high school, she later moved to San Diego in 1968. Swanson spent years working in watercolor, until she happened across a gourd burning class at San Diego Botanic Garden. “I was hooked on gourd burning immediately. I stopped painting watercolors and switched over to gourds,” she says. “For the past eight years, I have done gourd art. It reminds me of my childhood in Nigeria.” With her longtime involvement with the San Dieguito Art Guild, she’s been able to showcase her gourd art through the guild’s Off Track Gallery, where she first displayed her watercolors. She’s served in nearly every role imaginable over the years, including as secretary, chairperson for various events and committees, and currently as chair of publicity, historian and a member of the holiday bazaar and Carmel Valley Artists Show committees. Swanson, 68, lives in Encinitas with her husband and they have three children. She took some time to talk about her work with the art guild, her artwork, and the challenge artists have of helping others understand the value of their creative work. Tell us about the art guild. The San Dieguito Art Guild was started in Del Mar in 1965. A group of 12 artists in the San Dieguito area gathered on the back porch of Sue Beere’s home, an artist who lived in Del Mar. She and her group started the guild with the mission statement: “SDAG 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 runs the Off Track Gallery in downtown Encinitas, holds workshops, donates money to art-related entities, provides free wall space and event space to TERI Inc. (a nonprofit that serves individuals and families with autism and other developmental disabilities), donates money to local high schools, and more. The guild has about 200 members. Have you always been an artist? I have always been an artist. As a small child, I drew pictures of everything and loved to spend hours coloring and decorating the classroom bulletin board. My art career began right after college. I loved fine arts, but got a degree in graphic arts, realizing that is how I could make a living. What do you love about Encinitas? My neighborhood is quiet, there is no through traffic and it is peaceful. It’s up on a ridge, so we can see not only the ocean, but also all the back country. We always have a cool ocean breeze. And I love that Encinitas is a hub for artists. Tell us about your work with gourds. What drew you to this style? I took one gourd burning class through Quail Gardens (now San Diego Botanic Garden), where I happen to be a docent. I think that I had been painting in watercolor for so many years I was just ready for a change. I painted botanicals and I think I had painted about every flower and plant

Grace Swanson there is in the San Diego area. I already knew what a gourd was from my childhood in Nigeria. The African people use gourds for everything — water, butter, milk, beer, spoons, bowls. A new bride in Nigeria receives many gourds with burned on or gouged out designs. I saw the gourd burning class offered through the Garden and thought, “well, I know what a gourd is. I think I will check this out.” After I took that one class at Quail Gardens, I was in love with the medium. Can you walk us through your process for creating your gourd work? I purchase the gourds dirty and moldy from Welburn Gourd Farm, just north of Fallbrook. I bring them home and scrub them in a large sink in the garage. I never quite know what I will get under all that dirt and mold. The ideal gourd has a nice smooth surface free of holes and cracks. If there are holes and cracks, I need to come up with a design that will allow me to cut out those areas and have it still look like that was part of the design. What is it about this art form that drew you in? What I first loved was burning on the gourd. It may have been the smell that reminded me of home. I love the fact that I can burn on a gourd but still be very much in control. Burning is so permanent; you cannot erase a burn. You either get it right the first time or change the design. In the gourd art world, we have a saying: “There are no mistakes, there are new design opportunities.” What do you think the San Dieguito Art Guild offers the artists in it and the surrounding community? The guild is a hub for North San Diego artists to gather and meet other artists. Art can be a lonely endeavor — working alone at home or studio. The guild and the (Off Track) Gallery give them a place to sell their artwork and to meet other artists and discuss their medium, get feedback, and share their own expertise and advice. The guild offers the community a place to find hand-made artwork at the gallery and attend the classes and workshops we offer. What’s been challenging about your work as an artist? The biggest challenge as an artist is getting paid for what we perceive our artwork is SEE GOURDS, A17

irst, the happy news. At the Sept. 14 meeting of the San Dieguito Union High School District’s Board of Education (after press time for this newspaper), trustees are being presented with a resolution recommended for approval by the district to support Senate bill 328, which mandates that school start times for middle and high schools begin no earlier than 8:30 a.m. The district deserves major credit for coming out in support of this sensible measure. If the bill passes both houses and is signed into law by the governor, the new start times would take effect July 1, 2020. Zero periods would still be allowed, for those few teenage early-birds. According to the backup material in the board packet, the district’s middle schools would be minimally affected, “as all currently start first period between 8:15 and 8:30.” The board packet states that the district’s high schools start between 7:40 and 8 a.m. If the bill passes, “high school end times would fall between 3:30 and 3:50.” Later start times will most heavily affect after-school sports programs. As I’ve pointed out before, mandating this change statewide is the only way after-school athletics programs will adjust sports schedules accordingly. The union position, which opposes SB 328, is that this decision should be made locally and not imposed by Sacramento. But it won’t work unless all school districts comply. If random individual districts adopt this policy, those student athletes will suffer the consequences of having to miss their last period classes for athletic obligations because sports schedules will not change. This measure only works if it applies to all California public schools. Later school start times have been proven in study after study to improve attendance, alertness, academic performance, moods and overall well-being. And now new evidence suggests that later start times could save society oodles of money. A timely report by the RAND Corp. released a few weeks ago states that “shifting school start times could contribute $83 billion to the U.S. economy within a decade.” Estimates show that one extra hour of sleep a night can increase the probability of high school graduation rates by 13.3 percent and college attendance by 9.6 percent. “These positive effects impact the jobs that adolescents are able to obtain in the future and, in turn, have a direct effect on how much a particular person contributes toward the economy in future financial earnings.” The gains, RAND says, “would be realized through the higher academic and professional performance of students, and reduced car crashes among adolescents.” Studies over more than a decade have shown that teens suffer from shifting sleep patterns that cause many unable to fall asleep until late at night. The UCLA Sleep Center states that when puberty hits, a natural shift occurs in a teen’s circadian rhythms, which is called “sleep phase delay.” So going to bed earlier does not address the problem. Teens just can’t fall asleep at an early hour.

In 2014, the American Academy of Pediatrics endorsed later start times for schools serving teens, citing early start times as a contributor to chronic sleep deprivation which can lead to increased auto accidents, poor academic performance, tardiness, absenteeism and depression. Congratulations to San Dieguito for leading the way and supporting a much-needed schedule change for weary adolescents. Here’s hoping trustees support this resolution unanimously, and that the bill passes. Less happy news The board agenda for Sept. 14 includes the unaudited actuals for the 2016-2017 school year, which closed June 30. It shows revenue of $135.2 million and expenditures of $138 million, leaving a deficit of $2.85 million. Despite statements at the beginning of the school year from trustees Joyce Dalessandro and Beth Hergesheimer that ending balances always turn out rosy despite pessimistic early projections, this year the district was unable to eliminate its deficit. In a June email, SDUHSD superintendent Eric Dill said it’s unknown until July how big the deficit will be, “but this time the district is certain to have one.” “I’m not expecting a surplus this year,” he wrote. On the positive side, the projected deficit in March was a whopping $9.2 million, which by May was revised to a still-whopping $8.5 million. So the district managed to close that gap considerably, although not fully. I sound like a broken record, but the staggering 12.5 percent salary raise given to all district employees last year that amounts to an annual expenditure of $6.5 million once again comes to mind. Confusing news A board packet item titled “High School Foundation Update” attempts to clarify the role the four high school foundations play in funding programs and services that the district does not, cannot, or refuses to pay for. The district’s foundations have been under attack recently after complaints have surfaced of pay-to-play for athletics and wording in donation pleas that imply a fee to join teams or programs that by law must be offered free of charge. Foundation over-reach will be considered when the board decides at the Sept. 14 meeting whether to approve or deny a Memorandum of Understanding for a donation by an anonymous donor who gave $400,000 to the Torrey Pines High School Foundation to build baseball batting cages at the school. In exchange for the donation, the foundation agreed to allow this person use of the cages and the school’s fields for private non-profit youth teams of his choosing, after receiving clearance from the foundation. One clause in the MOU states, “The foundation recognizes the contribution of [donor] and applies the funds to the foundation in advance of facility use charges non-profit youth teams would otherwise incur in its use of Torrey Pines High School (TPHS) grounds.” So in essence the district (i.e., a public agency) in this case gives up its right to income and allows the foundations to profit from the use of public property.

www.encinitasadvocate.com In the agreement, the donor was granted the use of the TPHS baseball field facilities at no charge until Aug. 31, 2019. The MOU does state that school use takes precedence. This MOU, now available on the district’s website, was drawn up and signed in May 2015, but without school board approval as required by board policy. Now it comes before the board. Has the district really given its high school foundations the right to offer at no charge public facilities to major donors? Who decides which donors or causes are worthy? Consider these possible scenarios if this floodgate opens: • A donor who wants to fund a new theater arts center and asks to use it for their own purposes during “off” time. • A donor who funds a new weight room and in exchange for the money is given the right to bring in students for personal training purposes. • A wealthy scientist who funds a new science lab for high school students but asks that the lab be made available for private purposes when not in use by students. When most people donate to a non-profit, they donate because they are generous and care about the cause – and they expect nothing in return, except a tax write-off. Arm’s-length news Recently disclosed emails show that Dill as superintendent was heavily involved in foundation activity, despite his claims for years that the district and foundations operate at arm’s length. The latest instance of this was the foundations’ coordinated written response to the article in the San Diego Union-Tribune a few months ago about allegations of pay-to-play for TPHS baseball. Emails uncovered through a public records request by a private citizen show that Dill and district consultant Phyllis Quan worked closely with high school foundation directors to coordinate a response to the story. Quan has been a consultant for the district for many years, her job is to work with the high school foundations. She suddenly resigned her contract a month ago after the board chose to examine an invoice of hers more closely. That invoice for $1,300 is now on the agenda for Sept. 14. Interesting news Another interesting item up for discussion on Sept. 14 concerns sub-dividing the district into five separate areas for school board elections. Many school districts have been threatened with violations of the California Voting Rights Act which “was enacted to ensure that at-large elections do not unfairly discriminate against protected classes of voters who may reside in the agency’s boundaries,” according to the board report. Several North County school districts – including Carlsbad, Oceanside and San Marcos – are in the process of making the change, which would identify five distinct areas within the district. Each of the areas would elect its own board member, who would not run district-wide. The purpose is to give under-represented citizens a voice. This shift speaks to the need for more social justice in government. People who live in poorer neighborhoods who don’t have the means to campaign or run district-wide would benefit. On the flip side, the danger is that sub-district board members will be less likely to support the needs of the district as a whole, being beholden only to their individual constituents. This will be interesting to watch. Opinion columnist and Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

FROM GOURDS, A15 worth. It is not really realistic to consider the hours that go into classes, planning, executing, showing, and trying to sell your artwork. Unless someone has attempted to produce that exact artwork, it is very hard for them to appreciate the knowledge, time and effort that goes into producing a piece. Plus, artists are selling a product that is “not needed” in the same way as food, clothing, a home, a car, electricity or water is needed. A customer must have all these bases covered before he or she can allow themselves to spend money on art. What’s been rewarding about your work? The most rewarding part of working with the guild has been the artist friendships. There is a “language” and an understanding that fellow artists have for each other. We have a

FROM WAVE CHALLENGE, A3 The Rancho Santa Fe resident got involved with Boys to Men after meeting Sigurdson surfing one day on Black’s Beach. Hahn was instantly moved by the important mission of Boys to Men. “Ernie Hahn has been a game changer,” said Sigurdson, who can’t say enough about Hahn’s support. Two years ago, Hahn partnered with the Century Club on a fundraiser for Boys to Men called the One Wave Challenge, an effort to set the record for the most surfers on one wave at the same time — the Guinness World Record is 113. The first year they got 97 surfers up on one wave for five seconds, bringing in $20,000. The second year One Wave Challenge in 2016 was even bigger and better — they had 130 surfers in the water and got 102 people up on one wave, raising $100,000 for Boys to Men.

common goal to produce artwork that is rewarding and that comes from our talents and training. The most rewarding things about my work as an artist is to have other people appreciate and enjoy it. The most complimentary thing people can do for artists is to actually pay money for what we create. What has it taught you about yourself? I have learned that, as an artist, I can be both creative and organized. I can both produce and sell. What is the best advice you’ve ever received? I remember being told in Nigeria that no matter what job you do, you will always learn something from it, and everything you learn will someday be put to use. So, no matter what small job you are given, do it. There will always be something you will learn from it put to use later in your life. What is one thing people would be surprised to find out about you?

I am terribly allergic to dogs. Everyone in North County seems to have one and I try to be enthusiastic when they introduce me to their beloved pet, but just looking at them makes my nose start to itch. Describe your ideal San Diego weekend. My ideal San Diego weekend does not happen every weekend, but what I look forward to most is when I have a booth in an art show. I love to set up my booth, display and sell my gourds, and talk to all the people who walk by. Whether I end up selling a lot or not so much, I love to talk about gourds and gourd art, try to educate them if they want, talk about art in general, or just talk about just about anything. I have done this in gorgeous weather, but also in the pouring rain, hail, extremely hot, and numbingly cold weather. I love it all. – Lisa Deaderick is a reporter for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

“The most important part was it exposed more people to what Boys to Men is and the incredible mentors they have that change young men’s lives and hold them accountable and help them to be who they want to be,” Hahn said. “It’s very, very powerful.” Hahn has become committed to using his time, resources and contacts to give back to his community in a more impactful way through Boys to Men. The organization is now one of the beneficiaries of the Rolf Benirschke Legacy Golf Invitational, which Hahn is member of the executive board and he transformed his 50th birthday celebration this year into the CaddyHack Golf Tournament at Morgan Run on Aug. 7, raising $113,000 for the cause. A year ago Hahn did his first 100 Wave Challenge – raising $18,000. A surfer for 38 years who often hits the beach before work, Hahn was an overachiever and caught 101 waves in

four and a half hours. “Raising money is important but it’s just as important to introduce this charity to more and more people in San Diego that want to open up their hearts and help out,” said Hahn. “These kids are in the toughest kinds of situations and this program changes their lives. I couldn’t be more proud to be involved. My personal goal is to keep working until I get it into every San Diego school that wants to have it.” Currently 25 San Diego County schools are on the waiting list for a Boys to Men program. Knowing what an impact the program can have immediately makes the men’s mission more imperative. “We know that all it takes to change a boy’s life is a few good men, who show up and care,” Sigurdson said. “Every boy deserves this.” To learn more about Boys to Men and the 100 Wave Challenge, visit boystomen.org.

FROM MASSAGES, A9 work." Most massage parlors are not licensed to massage breasts due to state regulations. About a year and a half ago, the center received state authorization for the breast massages and began training its female massage therapists, known as healing arts masters. Johnson said the massages — which require a recommendation from a physician and pay attention to all areas around the breast from the sternum to the back of the skull by moving lymphatic fluids — are beneficial for physical and mental stress. The healing arts masters are trained to deal with any emotions that might result from the stress relief. The breasts are only 10 percent of the actual treatment, Johnson said. Patients may either keep their shirts on or go topless. "We're opening up all of the muscles in the area," Johnson explained. "This is about the other restrictions that are happening throughout the body."

Lymphatic fluid can only move three ways: through manual manipulation, movement and breath, Johnson noted. Bras constrict the breasts, which can make it harder for the fluid to move around properly, and therefore cause congestion. The massage can help relieve fluid buildup that can cause pain in areas such as the chest, neck and back. Johnson said the massage can help people recognize abnormalities in their bodies. The treatment, which costs $215 and is available to everyone and not just Omni guests, is ideal for all people, especially women. It can also help detect diseases, such as breast cancer, early. "The number one thing we have for women against breast cancer is finding it early," Johnson said. "Having that awareness of your body can help you notice changes and find abnormalities early." The Chopra Center is located at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, 2013 Costa Del Mar Road in Carlsbad. For more information, call 760-494-1648 or visit chopra.com.

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263

Is Your Doctor Qualified to Treat Your Varicose Veins? Have you recently gone to your dentist’s office to see a sign posted that she now offers Botox? Does your OBGYN now offer laser treatment for telangiectasias? Is your family practitioner suddenly treating varicose veins in his office? More than ever, there is an uptick in the number of doctors expanding their practices to include cosmetic procedures. Sure, you might want to trust the doctor you’ve been seeing for years, and it’s convenient to go to one place to address all your medical and cosmetic concerns. And it’s okay, since they are MDs, right?

Why not all doctors are qualiﬁed Medical professionals have their

areas of study. But some, enticed by the promise of expanded business (and income), get quick weekend training or conference certification. Some claim that since they already have a medical degree, that it is perfectly safe for them to administer what they see as cosmetic treatment. But board-certified dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, and especially phlebologists have an expertise to see beyond shortcuts and know exactly how to treat a specific condition. Skin and veins require additional, highly specialized expertise, and it takes more than 4-day-long workshops to acquire that. Proficiently handling lasers and injections is its own area of expertise, as well, which requires a lot of education, training, and experience.

Beware the med spa Not all med spas are created equal. Some will have trained MDs, dermatologists, and phlebologists on staff. But that doesn’t mean you will be treated by those people. And while

some do use highly trained nurse practitioners to administer lasers and injections, plenty of places use less-than-qualiﬁed or barely-trained assistants. Some of these are looking for a lucrative opportunity to cash in on the cosmetic enhancement craze, but they only have minimal training. To get around this, they refer to themselves as “aesthetic specialists,” and instead of “patients,” they have “clients.” Most med spas employ aestheticians, who are trained skin care professionals. There are different types of certiﬁcations to practice, but most are not medically trained. For the most part, they may be licensed to perform facials, body treatments, wraps, rejuvenation therapies, spray tanning, and hair removal. There is also a category of medical aestheticians, who work under plastic surgeons and dermatologists to perform chemical peels, advanced hair removal, microdermabrasion, and laser treatments. Their business is beauty— not health.

Look to these local authorities for professional guidance on daily living at delmartimes.net/our-columns

What can go wrong There are reports of some professionals misusing sclerotherapy, or causing severe burns from mishandling a laser. Some patients have reported severe reactions to treatment or having botched procedures that have left large scars. Dermatologists are reporting an increase in their “repair” procedures to fix work done by unqualified (or underqualified) professionals, both MDs and aesthetic specialists. And remember with varicose veins: these are a medical condition. You want your sclerotherapy treatment done by a trained phlebologist or vein specialist with plenty of experience and expertise in treating veins. If you have more questions about the sclerotherapy procedure or are ready to consider sclerotherapy to remove your varicose veins, visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com or contact us at 760-944-9263.

FROM RACE, A1 with Guinness World Records, and they’ve received a detailed list of requirements they’ll need to fulfill in order to win their coveted title. Among other things, the Guinness document states that the race must: • Cover a distance of at least 100 meters • Require that all runners start at the same time and wear race number identification • Occur only on sand that is at least 10 centimeters deep • Be timed by at least two experienced timekeepers with stopwatches that are accurate to a hundredth of a second. • Provide one “steward,” or independent race observer, for every 50 race participants. Easily the toughest requirement is going to

be the stewards one, Fisher said. These event observers can’t be people affiliated with the race organization and they can’t be participating runners, so organizers are avidly seeking volunteers for the job. Now in its fifth year, the Surfing Madonna Beach Run is named after the famed Surfing Madonna mosaic art piece along Encinitas Boulevard just west of the railroad tracks. The run is a fundraiser for the Surfing Madonna Oceans Project, a nonprofit ocean advocacy organization that provides grant money for conservation projects and hosts surfing camps for children with disabilities, among other things.

FROM BEER, A1 Concerns about parking were also raised in the letter. "The planning commission majority ignored the proposed findings prepared by staff and ignored the public safety issues raised by staff and decided the business was 'good' and should be granted a major use permit," Finch said. More than 24 residents helped pay for the $250 filing fee for the appeal, she noted at the bottom of the city document.
