Legislation creates snag for housing task force

Flight school: Local educator flies with Blue Angels. A4 BRITTANY WOOLSEY

The Encinitas Housing Element Task Force met Sept. 26 to discuss new legislation that could affect the development of the city’s new housing element.

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY After making significant progress earlier this month toward creating a state-certified Housing Element, the Housing Element Update Task Force had to take a few steps backward Sept. 26 to accommodate new state legislation. At the beginning of the meeting, Barbara Kautz, the special counsel the city hired regarding the housing element, said Gov. Jerry Brown is planning to sign 15 housing-related bills, three of which affect local housing elements. The bills would become effective Jan. 1, 2018. The most substantive changes will make it more difficult to designate non-vacant sites for future

higher-density housing and require more justification for the number of units shown as being accommodated on each site, Kautz said. "It's really a push for trying to find vacant sites," she said. "The whole goal of this is to make cities zone more [vacant] sites." At the Sept. 5 meeting, the task force — consisting of Mayor Catherine Blakespear; Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz; Planning Commissioner and former No on T spokesman Bruce Ehlers; and former Planning Commissioner Kurt Groseclose — had planned to winnow down the list of properties mentioned in the SEE HOUSING, A21

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A group of residents is hoping to send a message to the city council through a petition: marijuana does not belong in Encinitas. Encinitas Citizens Against Pot (ECAP) has started an online petition to object to the cultivation, sale and manufacturing of marijuana in the city. "By standing against pot in Encinitas, we are working to preserve our communities by maintaining the character and property values in our residential and commercial districts, protecting our children from easy access to marijuana and its harmful effects and promoting the safety of our neighborhoods," according to the website, citizensagainstpot.com, which was created in late August. Nearly 400 signatures had been gathered by the afternoon of Sept. 22. The group is hoping to gather about 1,000 signatures from Encinitas residents, said Maureen "Mo" Muir, a San SEE POT, A21

Cardiff Elementary School

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A group of residents has taken public opposition to a redesign of Cardiff School that they said could reduce the size of a community park. A recently established community group called Cardiff Preservation Society launched an online petition at cardiffpreservationsociety.com to attempt to influence the Cardiff School District to halt a redesign proposal that could construct new buildings over George Berkich Park, located near the school's campus. In November 2016, voters approved Measure GG, which allotted $22 million of Prop. 39 general obligation money to the district to fund school modernization for Cardiff School and Ada Harris

School. Measure GG called to modernize Cardiff School by replacing outdated roofs; renovating or replacing existing deteriorating water, drainage and sewer systems; upgrading inadequate electrical systems; improving energy efficiency; replacing aging temporary portable classrooms with new classrooms; constructing a new multipurpose room; improving handicap accessibility; repairing paved surfaces; and upgrading the library, labs, school office building, playgrounds and play fields.

Amtrak to discontinue stops Water districts partner to offer rainwater harvesting workshop in Encinitas and Carlsbad BY PHIL DIEHL Amtrak plans to cease its daily stops at the Carlsbad Poinsettia and Encinitas Coaster stations beginning Oct. 9, in part because of low ridership. Coaster service at the locations will be unaffected. The two stops have the least riders of four North County locations where Amtrak initiated service four years ago, according to numbers provided by the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency, which oversees rail service between San Diego and the Central Coast city of San Luis Obispo. Ridership was just one factor in deciding which stops to retain, LOSSAN Deputy Managing Director Michael Litschi said by email. “We also considered proximity to adjacent stations and availability of other transit options,” Litschi said. “In terms of expectations for the service, the overall goal ... is to provide increased travel options between Oceanside and San Diego by using Pacific Surfliner trains to supplement existing Coaster service where feasible,” he said. Amtrak ridership has increased slightly but steadily at all four stops added in 2013, according to numbers provided by Litschi. The Poinsettia station, which had the least, had daily averages of 23 Amtrak riders in 2014, 28 riders in 2015, and 29 in 2016. The ridership number is the total of riders who boarded or disembarked at each location. Along with the Carlsbad Village and

Ninth Annual

Sorrento Valley Coaster stations, Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner trains added stops at the Carlsbad Village and Sorrento Valley stations as part of a modified agreement with North County Transit District. The Village and Sorrento Valley service will continue. Sorrento Valley is the busiest stop, with 68 Amtrak riders last year. “After reviewing ridership data, and in close consultation with NCTD, it was decided to discontinue the stops at the (two) stations in order to better align Pacific Surfliner stopping patterns with ridership demand,” said Jennifer Bergener, managing director of LOSSAN. NCTD Marketing and Communications Manager Kimberly Wall said Coaster trains served a total of 1.6 million riders in fiscal 2016 and 1.5 million in 2017. Coaster numbers were unavailable for specific stations. Each station along the route between San Diego and Oceanside has 11 northbound and 11 southbound Coaster trains each day. The agreement between NCTD and LOSSAN added three northbound and three southbound Amtrak train stops daily at the four North County stations. Also beginning Oct. 9, Amtrak will increase its stops at the Old Towne San Diego station. Its only other stop between Oceanside and San Diego is in Solana Beach.

Residents interested in learning how to harvest rainwater are invited to attend a free rain harvesting workshop hosted by Olivenhain Municipal Water District in collaboration with San Dieguito Water District and Rain Barrels International. The event will take place at the Encinitas Community Center on Wednesday, Oct. 11, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive in Encinitas. Although average rainfall in San Diego County is just under 10 inches annually,

even a light rain event can provide several gallons of water for later use. For example, a roof with a 2,000-square-foot surface area can capture 300 gallons of water from only a quarter-inch of rain, which is why many residents are now considering harvesting that rain to use in their landscapes rather than letting it run into storm drains.

SDUHSD students outperform their peers on statewide tests Students in the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) advanced in English and math, according to recently released results from the 2017 California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). The exams are administered to all 7th, 8th, and 11th grade students each year in the areas of mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA). District students outperformed the state and county averages by a wide margin. In ELA, 81 percent of SDUHSD students met or exceeded standards compared to 56 percent of students in San Diego County and 49 percent of

students statewide. Math scores show 72 percent of SDUHSD students met or exceeded standards, compared to 44 percent of San Diego students and 38 percent of students throughout California. “Overall, we are very pleased with the results,” said SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill. “It takes an extraordinary effort to improve outcomes in a high-performing district each year. These gains would not be possible without hard-working teachers, dedicated students, and a supportive community.” SEE TESTS, A20

County fair brought out another huge crowd this year BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Nearly 1.6 million people flocked to the San Diego County Fair this summer — just shy of the all-time record set last year but still the best back-to-back performance the fair has seen in its 137-year history. First held in 1880 before settling into its permanent Del Mar digs in the 1930s, the fair is California’s largest — and one of the five biggest in North America. This year’s rendition welcomed 1,565,933 visitors in the 26 days between its June 2 kick-off and its fiery July 4 finale. That’s slightly less than the all-time high of 1,609,481 set last year. Before that, the busiest fair had been in 2012, when the turnstiles clicked 1,517,508 times. Variety is and will always be the key to running a successful fair, said Tim Fennell, the fairgrounds’ CEO and general manager. “One of the things that sets us apart is we do have something for everybody,” he said. “We try to present a very balanced fair, with something for everybody — whether that’s food and shopping or the exhibits or the concerts or coming out to see the livestock.” Fairgrounds officials pored through a wide range of metrics on Sept. 12 at the monthly board meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds. Guided by an increasing array of data points, they hope to sustain the fair’s bulging popularity into next year, the planning for which is well underway.

Food revenues reached $18.99 million this year, with the hungriest fairgoers coming on June 11, when they chomped down an average of $14.20 worth of grub. The Ferris wheel and other rides generated $10.41 million in sales, while $3.7 million more came from the 259,355 cars that parked at the fairgrounds. Almost 5,400 people took this year’s post-fair survey, nearly twice as many as last year. The survey, which helps steer the strategy for next year, captures the bright spots as well as aspects that will need some attention. For one, the fair is seeing more regulars: 86 percent said they attend every year, an increase of 3.1 percent over last year and nearly 6 percent over 2015. And while headliners in this year’s Toyota Summer Concert Series included Patti LaBelle, LeAnn Rimes, Grand Funk Railroad and Toby Keith — whose June 9 concert was such a hit that fairgrounds officials are looking to put more emphasis on booking country acts — the survey suggests that it’s the fair’s scores of exhibits that are its biggest draw, as slightly more than 70 percent of respondents listed exhibits when asked why they attended. But despite a growing emphasis on the festivals within the fair — especially its beer, liquor and wine events — far fewer SEE FAIR, A20

Woman injured in Encinitas hit-and-run fighting for her life as search for driver continues BY DEBBI BAKER A 33-year-old woman who was struck in a hit-and-run collision in Encinitas last week continues to be in a medically-induced coma with life-altering injuries as her parents keep vigil at her bedside. Ashley Mullins Lane, who lives in Oceanside with her two young daughters, was hit Friday, Sept. 22, just before 7:30 p.m. as she was crossing Encinitas Boulevard near South Coast Highway 101. She had just finished working at her job at Lazy Acres market and was heading to the Coaster station to go home, said her father Roger Mullins of Encinitas. After hitting her, the driver of the truck — described as a newer, white Ford 150 Platinum Edition with a shiny silver tailgate — stopped, got out and surveyed the scene before telling witnesses that she appeared to be OK, said sheriff’s Sgt. Luis Chavez. The driver, said to be white and in his 40s, then got back into the truck and drove off. Mullins said he is incredulous at the actions of the driver. “To get out and see somebody laying on the ground and then consciously make the decision to drive away? There’s just no way you can rationalize that,” said Mullins in a phone interview from Scripps Memorial Hospital where his daughter is in the intensive care unit. Mullins Lane suffered several broken

Flight school: Local educator flies with Blue Angels

BY KAREN BILLING Bill Miller recently had the “beyond bucket list” experience of flying with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels on Sept. 20. Miller was one of just three San Diego civilians selected to take a ride in the iconic blue and gold F/A 18 Hornet, in advance of the six-jet team’s performance at the MCAS Miramar Airshow. Miller is the vice principal of Patrick Henry High School, which has a very strong Navy Junior ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) program. Over the summer, some Navy officers were on campus to recognize the program and invited staff to their training facility in Illinois. The officers made

the offer to have the Blue Angels pilots come during the school year to do a presentation — they then floated the idea of someone going up in the air with the Blue Angels and Miller was a willing candidate. For the hundreds who applied for the opportunity to fly with the Blue Angels, the Navy was looking for someone who plays an important role in their community. A UC San Diego graduate, Miller has been in education for 24 years in the Allied Gardens/Del Cerro neighborhood of San Diego, teaching at Lewis Middle School before coming to Patrick Henry. He is involved in Dads’ Clubs at his children’s

schools, and he was also the 2016-17 president of Solana Beach Little League as well as a coach of his son’s team. Miller’s father is also a former Marine. In addition to community contributions, the candidate also had to be physically cleared by a physician and it was recommended that they could run two miles without a problem and swim 100 yards. “I checked off all those boxes,” Miller said, noting that he was also told to be well-hydrated, get a good night sleep and eat light — all necessary to be able to withstand high levels of G Force, the equivalent of the force of gravity multiplied.

On a fairly cloudy Sept. 20 morning, Navy Lt. Brandon Hempler started Miller off with the “easy stuff.” They took off with an accelerated ascent — only 50 feet above the runway they did a straight climb, about 5.6 Gs — traveling up to 10,000 feet in 20 to 30 seconds. They then did some of the types of maneuvers done in the Airshow, including flying upside down, barrel rolls and doing big looping turns with four jets in formation, the wings of the other planes just 18 inches away. Hempler offered Miller the opportunity to do one more thing — a “max G turn,” at SEE BLUE ANGELS, A22

Walk A Mile in Her Shoes event takes strides toward ending domestic violence BY KAREN BILLING The YWCA of San Diego County’s 10th annual Walk A Mile in Her Shoes event will be held on Saturday, Oct. 14 at 10 a.m., beginning at MLK Promenade Park at 4th Avenue and K Street. The lighthearted event, in which both men and women walkers take on the mile in a pair of heels, helps raise awareness about a tough issue — seeking to end the cycle of domestic violence. “This is such a problematic issue, one in four women and one in seven men experience domestic violence in their lifetime,” said Heather Finlay, CEO of the YWCA of San Diego County. “It’s all about manipulation and control and it can happen to anyone.” Heather Finlay, “It’s a difficult subject CEO of YWCA of San Diego County to talk about and it’s often misunderstood what happens in a domestic violence relationship,” Finlay said, noting many feel trapped and don’t have the resources to leave an abusive situation. “It’s very difficult to think that somebody would hurt you and maybe even kill you when they are supposed to love you.” The YWCA is one of the largest providers of domestic violence services in San Diego County, and one of the only resources for male victims. Additionally, their emergency shelter is the only facility in the region that accepts clients at all hours of the day and night. The organization served 8,400 people

The Walk A Mile in Her Shoes event will take place on Oct. 14, supporting YWCA of San Diego County. this past year, up from about 5,000 when Finley took over nine years ago — this year they project they will serve close to 9,000 individuals. After 20 years in business leadership and real estate, Finlay left the corporate world to empower women facing domestic violence. She started as a YWCA volunteer, helping to build the second Becky’s House shelter in 2006, serving on the board for a few years before transitioning into an interim CEO role. She is now in her ninth year as YWCA’s leader.

As the YWCA stresses extensive confidentiality and privacy, Finlay doesn’t work directly with clients but she is able to hear about the support and successful transitions they are able to provide for people in life-threatening situations. “When I hear people have said, ‘Without the YWCA I don’t know where I would be,’ it’s very gratifying and fulfilling,” Finlay said. “It’s so important to lead a healthy, happy life with no abuse or torture.” The YWCA runs three Becky’s House shelters, an emergency shelter and its

Walkers – like these officers – take on the mile in a pair of heels. Cortez Hill Family Center serves homeless families. Becky’s House, a 30-day emergency shelter, offers free services to women, men and children in need of immediate protection from their abusers in a safe, confidential facility. The Becky’s House transitional housing program provides safe housing and family services for up to 12 months in multiple apartment communities. In the program, clients focus on overcoming trauma, developing life skills, SEE SHOES, A22

Author to release second children’s book BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A North County author tells the story of an unlikely pair trying out a new hobby together in her upcoming children's release, "Dough Knights and Dragons." The 40-page illustrated book, being released Oct. 3 by Sterling Children’s Books and written by Dee Leone, follows a knight and dragon who bond over their Dee Leone shared love of baking. However, the friends must follow the law of the land and battle one another. Leone — who recently moved from Houston, is building a home in Rancho Santa Fe and who has been renting short-term properties in Encinitas in the meantime — is also the author of "Bizz and Buzz Make Honey Buns." The former-teacher-turned-author, who is also expecting to release another book in February, recently chatted about her writing career and upcoming book. How did you come up with this story? I was eating and I was wondering how a certain food came about. It was a different food that I originally wrote the story [about,] as sort of an origin tale for that food. It ultimately morphed into a

My family thinks it's hilarious because I'm not the greatest cook in the world. I just thought, 'What would someone else do when they didn't know how to follow a recipe?' This was just buzzing in my ear, so I just thought to write about these little bees who don't quite get it. So, I came up with the idea for the first book and what they would do if they used a little flour and flowers. How did you get into writing children's books?

I used to teach elementary school, so I loved reading to my students all the time. Once I stopped teaching and stayed home to raise my own children, I still wanted to have an in with schools, so I started writing for teachers and children. I originally wrote 20 reproducible books with homework sheets and ideas for arts and crafts in different subject matters. How did you publish those materials? I subscribed to a number of teaching magazines, and I submitted myself into monthly contests. I sent in a poem, and the editor just called me out of the blue and asked if I could turn that into a 96-page educational reproducible book. After that, she kept giving me more and more assignments. I ended up with 20 projects that started out from one phone call. Going from that progression to creating the educational materials for children in a school to reading material that children anywhere can read, what does that mean to you? This is much more fulfilling because you can get this into so many different hands. You have a way to write out a certain message. The kids usually just get it and come up with their own ideas. For “Dough Knights and Dragons,” I would hope they would be encouraged to try different creative problem-solving SEE AUTHOR, A22

‘Exposure’ female skateboarding event returns Nov. 4 to Encinitas

JAMES OWENS

Exposure will take place Nov. 4 in Encinitas.

On Nov. 4, the world’s top female skaters will return to Encinitas for the sixth annual Exposure event. With 130 skaters and a $50,000 prize purse, Exposure has become the world’s largest women’s skateboarding event, according to a press release. Skateboarders travel from Australia, Brazil, Holland, South Africa, France, Colombia, Argentina, Canada, Japan and all over the U.S. to compete in vert, bowl and street disciplines. Past skaters include: Lizzie Armanto, Vanessa Torres, Sky Brown, Lacey Baker, Alexis Sablone, Mimi Knoop, Alana Smith and Nora Vasconcellos. “It’s an amazing event that helps boost women’s skateboarding,” said Jordyn Barratt, who has competed in Exposure since 2013. Barratt made her pro debut in 2016 and placed 2nd in both Pro Vert and Bowl.

Each year, the event features autograph sessions with action sports stars such as: Mitchie Brusco, Cara-Beth Burnside, Pierre-Luc Gagnon (PLG), Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins Pastrana, Steve Caballero, Austin Poynter, Josh Kerr and Tom Schaar. Exposure Skate, a nonprofit empowering girls through skateboarding, is bringing this annual event back to the Encinitas Community Park. This free event runs from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. During this action-packed day, attendees can watch their favorite female skaters compete in the Zevia Vert contest on the Tony Hawk Industries Vert Ramp, in the XS/Vans Bowl contest or in the Zumiez Street Contest. Families can participate in free Yoga and Camp Tanuga Learn-to-Skate Clinics or spend the day shopping and getting autographs in the

vendor village. Exposure donates proceeds to Community Resource Center’s Carol’s House, a local shelter for survivors of domestic violence. “CRC is proud to partner with Exposure to uplift and empower young women and girls. Exposure’s contributions directly support critical services for families that have been impacted and uprooted because of domestic violence including CRC’s 24-hour hotline, counseling services, and children’s programs,” said Rebecca Palmer, director of programs at CRC. “We appreciate Exposure for their partnership enabling CRC to provide tangible support to families during this critical moment in their lives.” For more information, follow @exposureskate on Instagram or visit www.exposureskate.org.

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - SEPTEMBER 29, 2017 - PAGE A9

Surf photo pioneer is using his talents for broader benefit BY SEBASTIAN MONTES The lifetime Aaron Chang has spent in the surf-break can be measured in magazine covers and the innumerable accolades won over his storied career as a genre-defining photographer. It can also be measured by the scar tissue that plagues his sinuses. “I’ve had so many sinus infections, ear infections, eye infections. And I’ve talked to surfers with the strangest diseases ever,” Chang said recently at his Solana Beach gallery. “What’s the common denominator? The ocean.” So when more than 200 million gallons of raw sewage from the Tijuana River Valley poured into the Pacific earlier this year, the indignity felt deeply personal — even more so as the toxic plume spread north and forced beach closures miles up the coast, including in Imperial Beach. It was there, years before his quarter century at Surfing Magazine, that a teenaged Chang had first discovered his love for surfing and photography. As the crisis dragged into the summer, ocean-lovers rallied to the cause, including the San Diego chapter of the Surfrider Foundation and Cerveza Imperial, a Costa Rican brewer that lays claim to making the world’s first and only water-positive beer. To bolster Surfrider’s efforts, Cerveza Imperial called on Chang and Arctic Foam, an Oceanside-based surfboard company that uses algae rather than petroleum to make its boards. Together they crafted four custom boards, each adorned with a photo from Chang’s collection. One he had taken in Tahiti, another in Costa Rica. The other two he took closer to home: the break at 29th Street in Del Mar and a wave curling off Solana Beach’s Tabletops Reef. The boards were auctioned off last month at the California Surf Museum in Oceanside, pumping $8,500 into Surfrider’s Tijuana cleanup. “The Tijuana River situation is the Chernobyl of ocean pollution, and how the U.S., as a nation, allows that to happen blows my mind,” Chang said. “It’s a disaster, and like most things in the ocean, because it’s underwater people don’t see it. Imagine if that plume was a wildfire; it would get major attention. On one fire east of L.A., $280 million was spent to put it out. How much money has been spent on the Tijuana River?” Activism and philanthropy have come increasingly to the fore over the decade since Chang settled into the Cedros Design District. A sampling from the past few weeks alone includes benefits for veterans’ housing, Alzheimer’s disease and the San Dieguito River. Next month, he’ll be back in Imperial Beach for an audience with state and federal officials. “What’s amazing about this gallery is that I’m able to reach out and help a tremendous number of people,” he said. “I’m at the latter part of my career and my life, so that’s my motivation now. There’s nothing more satisfying than being able to use your God-given talents to help people. It is the most addicting and driving thing I’ve ever stumbled upon.” Perusing the Aaron Chang Ocean Art Gallery — its walls hung with some of the iconic images that carved out Chang’s place

World-renowned photographer Aaron Chang partnered with an Oceanside-based surfboard manufacturer to create these four eco-friendly boards, which were auctioned off last month to benefit the Surfrider Foundation’s efforts to clean up the Tijuana River Valley. in the pantheon of modern photographers — is like a stroll past the North County spots he so dearly cherishes. Dog Beach in Del Mar. The bridge at Torrey Pines. Cardiff reef, which he vows to be, on its best days, one of the most underappreciated breaks in the world. That local affection has twice helped convince the San Diego Tourism Authority to name Chang their “Art Ambassador.” And amid his commitment to bettering his community, little else means as much as the chances he gets to partner with schools and inspire the next generation of photographers. The vast majority of those students may never know what a Bellows camera is — let alone how to use one, as he did when he started photography — but he has no problem bridging the mind-boggling differences in technology and media consumption. “When I grew up, I was extremely shy and introverted, and I learned that I could speak to people through my pictures,” he said. “So I understand what it’s like for these kids now, who are growing up with photography as their primary form of communication.” Now 61, Chang shows no hint of slowing down, not in his pursuit of the perfect wave and certainly not in his drive to share his talents and passions with the world. To him, it would simply be irresponsible not to. “I’ve been awarded my success. To some degree, I’ve earned that success, but really I’ve been awarded it,” he said. “If you’re fortunate enough to be given something, it only makes sense to give a portion back. It’s just a basic tenet of life.” Visit aaronchang.com for more information.

Local surgeon helps patients with knee and hip pain

BY JOE TASH As an orthopedic surgeon specializing in knee and hip replacement surgery, Dr. Adam Rosen advises patients on a range of treatment options, up to and including an operation. Rosen will give a presentation about the full spectrum of treatment options for chronic knee and hip pain at Scripps Green Hospital in La Jolla at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 3. The hospital is located at 10666 N. Torrey Pines Road, and the presentation is free and open to the public. To register for the event, call 1-800-SCRIPPS. According to Rosen, the first step for dealing with knee or hip pain is to try a low-impact exercise such as swimming, using an eliptical machine or stationary bike. Along with exercise, Rosen said, a patient may find pain relief by losing as little as five pounds. Next on the spectrum would be an over-the-counter medication such as Motrin or Tylenol. If the patient is still suffering from pain, Rosen said, “That’s where my services come in handy.” Rosen might recommend a cortesone injection and, “If that fails, surgical options like knee replacement are discussed.” In the majority of patients that he sees at Scripps Clinic, osteoarthritis is the underlying cause of their pain, although other physical

problems, such as fractures or ligament tears, could also be the culprit. He differentiated between rheumatoid arthritis, a systemic disease that affects all joints in the body, with osteoarthritis, which comes from wear and loss of cartilage, and can affect a specific joint, such as a hip or knee, on one side of the body. People with osteoarthritis can suffer from pain, inflammation and swelling, caused by bone-on-bone contact in the affected joint. Most patients spend one night in the hospital and then go home, where they can continue physical therapy. Knee and hip replacement patients typically are up and

walking the day of their surgery. “The quicker they get up and moving, the faster they recover,” Rosen said. Most hip replacement patients fully recover in an average of two months, while the average recovery time for knee replacement patients is three months. Hip and knee replacements have been shown to dramatically improve quality of life and reduce pain in patients, and age isn’t necessarily a factor. Rosen said he has operated on a patient as old as 97. (He began his practice at Scripps in 2006 after completing his medical studies in his native Philadelphia.) “Lots of studies have shown that improvement of quality of life is so good, that’s why these patients are having these surgeries,” he said. One advance in knee and hip replacements, said Rosen, is administering a nerve block or numbing agent before surgery, so that the pain is controlled during and after the operation. Doctors are also giving their patients non-narcotic pain relievers starting from before surgery, around the clock, which leads to less use of narcotics post-surgery, he said. A challenge facing orthopedic surgeons, he said, is figuring out why a small number of knee replacement patients don’t do as well as the majority of patients in SEE ROSEN, A22

es, it was purely symbolic. Nevertheless, San Dieguito trustees missed a perfect opportunity at the Sept. 14 board meeting to take a courageous stand in support of later school start times. San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Eric Dill asked trustees to consider adopting a resolution in favor of Senate bill 328 which would have mandated that middle and high schools start no earlier than 8:30 a.m. The vote was 2-3, with the usual suspects on either side. My earlier congratulations for proposing the resolution was premature. This is not an arbitrary or minor debate. This is a serious public health issue for teenagers. Trustees are the guardians of the children who attend their schools. Their job is to adopt public policies that help strengthen academic performance and future success, and improve the mental and physical health and well-being of students. Later school start times addresses all these concerns. There is little disagreement that starting school early is bad for adolescents. The scientific evidence is irrefutable. The American Academy of Pediatrics has recognized the significant problems associated with early start times for middle and high schools, saying chronic sleep deprivation can lead to increased auto accidents, poor academic performance, tardiness, absenteeism and

depression. The AAP advocates start times no earlier than 8:30 a.m., the hour mandated in the Senate bill. But the teachers union was inexplicably opposed to SB 328, as was the California School Boards Association. Both organizations lobbied their constituents heavily to write letters in opposition to the bill, which incidentally did not pass the Assembly on Sept. 15. Democratic Senator Anthony Portantino, the bill’s sponsor, promised to revive the bill in January. CSBA opposed SB 328 but not the research, said CSBA spokesperson Troy Flint in an email. “CSBA does not oppose later start times,” he wrote. “CSBA opposes a statewide mandate on school start times.” In a summer 2017 CSBA publication article, the subtitle explains this view: “The research is significant, but local control must stay intact.” From the story: “The list of potential impacts on adolescents from chronic sleep loss is deeply alarming. On the academic side, the list includes impairments to attention span and memory, as well as dips in attendance or dropouts. Even more alarming are possible impacts to mental and physical health, including increased risk of obesity and metabolic dysfunction, increased use of caffeine and other stimulants, emotional dysregulation, increased risk of anxiety, depression and even thoughts of suicide. …

CSBA is supportive of this research …” However, CSBA has taken the position that this one-size-fits-all approach is better left for individual school districts to determine. Problems with local control In general, local control is preferred. But in this case it won’t work if it’s done piecemeal. Athletics, Dill said at the Sept. 14 meeting, “is the biggest issue here.” The only solution that would require after-school sports schedules to accommodate later school start times is for all high schools to start later and end later in the day. Although Dill didn’t exactly make a forceful pitch for the resolution, he did say the bill “would put everything on a level playing field.” In an email after the vote, Dill drew a distinction between the terms “consider adoption” and “adopt.” “As I read the executive summary, it’s fairly neutral because it talks about the arguments both in favor and in opposition,” Dill wrote. “The recommendation was that the board ‘consider adoption.’” That is different, he clarified, from asking them to adopt it. He did seem to agree, however, that without this state-wide mandate, athletic schedules which are set up for early dismissal would remain the same. So those athletes attending schools with later end times would need to miss last-period classes to participate in their sport. If some districts adopted later start and end times and others didn’t, students “would be forced to make decisions of academics vs. athletics,” Dill said at the board meeting. Local control in this case cannot, will never, work, unless all districts comply. Other arguments against later start times include the inconvenience for parents (keep in mind that school is for students and not parental daycare), and non-athletic after-school SEE SUTTON, A22

the Coaster and the Amtrak lines. No immediate changes are planned for the Coaster commuter service at any of the stations. Encinitas had an average of 37 daily Amtrak riders in 2016, according to the LOSSAN numbers. Carlsbad Village station had a daily average of 41. Stations like the ones at Poinsettia and Encinitas were built to serve the Coaster, which began service in 1995. The Coaster’s northern terminus is at the Oceanside Transit Center, which also is the southern terminus of Metrolink, a commuter rail service with seven routes covering 538 miles in six counties. Oceanside also is the western terminus of the Sprinter commuter rail, which goes through Vista and San Marcos to Escondido. The LOSSAN rail corridor covers 351 miles through the six-county region between San Diego, Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo. It includes 41 stations and more than 150 daily passenger trains. — Phil Diehl is a reporter for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

SDUHSD made progress in closing the achievement gap for students with disabilities and those who are economically disadvantaged. Both student groups demonstrated sustainable year-over-year growth in ELA and math on the CAASPP tests. Scores for English learners improved in math, but fell slightly in English Language Arts. “We are going to continue doing what is working and make adjustments where we need to in order to address the unique needs of all students,” said Dill. SDUHSD Board of Trustees President Amy Herman was also satisfied with the CAASPP results. “In a district known for academic achievement, it is rewarding to see the momentum continuing to build. As long as we continue to focus on our priorities, great things will keep happening in our classrooms.” The San Dieguito Union High School District serves 7th through 12th grade students in the communities of Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Cardiff, Rancho Santa Fe and surrounding areas. Covering 85 square miles, the district includes four high schools, five middle schools, and a continuation high school.

Nearly 54 percent of respondents this year said the theme didn’t weigh at all in their decision to attend, while fewer than 25 percent said it had a “big” or “some” influence — significant departures from last year. Fennell expects to announce the 2018 theme at the DAA’s Oct. 17 meeting. “If you have a great theme, more people come out. A lot of fairs have a slogan and they call it a theme, but here we take it from the front gate to the back gate and everywhere in between.

Mullins describes his daughter, who graduated from Santa Fe Christian High School, as an incredibly intelligent woman and great single mom whose focus in life is her two daughters, ages 12 and 13. “She has her entire future in front of her,” he said. If he could say anything to the person who ran her down he said, “I would just ask what in the world were you thinking when you drove away? What would cause you to do that and live with the guilt for the rest of your life?” He speculated the person is a sociopath with no conscience. He also said that while capturing the driver would not change what happened, if the man had insurance it could help with the bills. “This guy that hit her is just nonchalantly going on with his life – no repercussions whatsoever,” Mullins said. Sgt. Chavez said the investigation is ongoing. There were witnesses to the crash but apparently no one got a photo of the driver, the truck or its license plate.

failed Measure T to reduce public outcry and increase the chance of voter approval. However, as a result of the pending legislation, the task force must now find more vacant land to hit at least a 51 percent threshold, or between 550 to 650 units of high density housing on currently vacant land. The group will likely have to look outside Measure T's sites, as most of the sites designated on the failed Measure T map had existing development, either residential or commercial, already on them. Dave Barquist, the consultant the city hired to help the city develop this draft of the housing element, showed the task force nine parcels of vacant land on Encinitas Boulevard, Quail Gardens Drive, Rancho Santa Fe Road and Manchester Avenue. The task force also looked at a vacant property known as the “burn site” behind the sheriff's station near El Camino Real and Encinitas Boulevard, where trash was once burned. The property is owned by the county. One resident who lives nearby the

FROM SCHOOL, A1 to support the education, safety and security of its students, while honoring the district's role as a community resource for meetings, events and athletics." Cardiff Preservation Society said on its website that Measure GG included little community impact, but since the measure passed, "the school board, architects and contractors are attempting to wipe the site clean and build an entirely new school." They argued the nearby community would be negatively impacted by the removal of the park, as neighbors would see parking lots and the backs of buildings instead of children playing on the fields. "This park is a treasured community asset and it would be a shame for Cardiff to lose this precious space," said Daniel Littrell, who is helping to spearhead the preservation society's campaign. "Once a park is reduced in size and buildings are constructed, that green space is lost forever." The school district said Studio E Architects, the design firm that was hired for the project, used community feedback provided during 2016 Measure GG focus group meetings as the primary

FROM POT, A1 Dieguito Union High School District board member and member of ECAP. However, Encinitas City Clerk Kathy Hollywood said she has not received any notices regarding Encinitas Citizens Against Pot or their intent to file a petition.

Muir said the group is waiting to file its petition until the city council has made its decision on whether to allow the commercial marijuana industry in Encinitas.

location shared concerns that upzoning the property could mean people use her neighborhood as a shortcut around already-existing traffic, causing more congestion in the area. "If this is developed, Encinitas Boulevard is going to be a funnel," she said. Groseclose stressed that just because a site is selected to be part of the Housing Element does not mean it will be developed. Resident Damien Mavis once again promoted his family-owned site, on the southeast corner of Manchester Avenue and El Camino Real, saying it could help the city meet its needs for affordable housing. He announced at the meeting that he has partnered with Community Housing Works to offer 50 percent affordable housing on his site. However, his request has been met with opposition from the nearby San Elijo Lagoon, which threatened litigation should the city decide to re-zone Mavis' site at a higher density. Kranz said he opposed developing Mavis' site, but Ehlers — who shared concerns about developing on Rancho Santa Fe Road and creating more

congestion in that area — stressed the importance of coming into compliance sooner than later. "We get back into compliance, and life can go forward," Ehlers said. The group also began considering placing a proposed Housing Element on the November 2018 ballot, which would have to be approved by the city council by August. Encinitas is the only city in San Diego County without a Housing Element, a required document that spells out how a city proposes to rework its zoning to accommodate its future housing needs, particularly those of low-income people, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. The city’s original plan, which it is still working off of, was created in the 1990s. State law currently mandates Encinitas should zone for 1,093 high-density units, according to city officials. The task force will reconvene Oct. 16 from 5 to 7 p.m. to review all of the city’s vacant sites as potential recommendations for the city council to consider.

drivers for the conceptual design plans. "From the initial stages of discussion around the idea of rebuilding Cardiff School to the passage of Measure GG, we are very excited to see the process underway to improve the quality of the educational facilities for our students,” said Jill Vinson, Cardiff School District superintendent, in the news release. “Our goal as an educational institution is to create a school campus that meets the needs of our students and will be a source of community pride for years to come.” The field space on the northwest side of George Berkich Park will be partially reorganized for kindergarten and extended day buildings, the district said. "Relocating play equipment from the current center of the field to the south end allows for one large, contiguous open field space," according to the district's news release. "This provides more open space for students to play on during recess and P.E., with increased supervision. In addition, the design takes advantage of the natural slope of the campus to create natural, ocean view, tiered seating adjacent to the field. This continuous open space is more flexible, inviting, and usable for both school and community.

The district said that while the overall size of the fields decreases in the conceptual site plan, community athletic programs can continue at the school. The plan includes two youth regulation-sized soccer fields that can be configured within the open space at the park. Cardiff Preservation Society has started an online petition on their website that gathered 43 signatures by press time on Sept. 27. Littrell, who lives near the school but does not have any children within the district, said there are no specific goals with the petition, but he finds it an ideal way to connect with others in Cardiff who share similar concerns. "The petition was an open-ended idea," he explained. "We at the Cardiff Preservation Society are not professional activists and therefore we have been trying different outreach avenues to find the best way to garner support." Littrell said he believes the school district should erect the new school buildings within the footprint of the existing buildings. "We see no reason why the footprint of the school cannot be retained while at the same time building a wonderful new campus," he said.

"Most residents of Encinitas are not aware that the commercial marijuana industry is actively pursuing Encinitas City Council," Muir said. "There has been very little outreach from our city about this issue and residents need to know that they have the right to oppose commercial marijuana in our community." Last month, the Association of Cannabis Professionals (ACP) filed its intent to circulate a petition aiming to let the voters decide how the substance should be handled in Encinitas. The proponent group's goal is to gather enough signatures to place a local initiative on the ballot regarding how

marijuana should be regulated, according to a letter sent to city staff on Aug. 22. It is also seeking to file similar petitions in Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, Chula Vista and Santee, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. Muir said the ACP is solely acting on a financial interest. "They don't care about our community character, protection of our children from well-established dangers of marijuana to developing brains and bodies or whether our home values plummet due to commercial pot businesses in our neighborhoods," she said. "They stand to make millions in profit from this."

8:30 a.m. hour, traffic congestion is likely, so start times would need to be staggered, which means some schools might need to start even later than 8:30 a.m. And some areas in the state, farming or other rural communities, for example, need parents at work at a very early hour. Nevertheless, I believe the benefits to students outweigh the challenges. Trustee John Salazar, who pushed to bring the resolution before the board, said he was pleased that Dill was advocating support and was critical of fellow board members Joyce Dalessandro, Beth Hergesheimer and Amy Herman who all voted no. Board president Herman was called upon last and cast the

deciding vote. “Teachers union is strong. CSBA is strong,” Salazar said after the vote. Salazar was joined in supporting the resolution by trustee Mo Muir. All board members except Salazar said they wrestled with their positions on the matter. The district’s leaders are responsible for providing a safe, healthy learning environment for students. Elected school board members oversee the district and help make and enact policies that benefit student health and academic achievement. Advancing simple strategies that clearly benefit children, like this one, would improve academic success, safety, health and

overall well-being of students. School board members deserve respect for struggling with the issue. They clearly weighed the benefits and drawbacks carefully. But it was disappointing that the resolution was voted down, when the district had a chance to shine and set an example for other districts to follow. If trustees believe the evidence is solid, which they say they do, they don’t need a mandate from the state to implement good policy. They could still make it happen.

The eight pets that were adopted included two kittens, one cat, one dog and four puppies. Hundreds of Coldwell Banker offices and animal shelters around the country hosted similar pet adoption events for the Coldwell Banker “Homes for Dogs” National Adoption Weekend on Sept. 9 and 10. “In addition to encouraging the public to attend and adopt dogs, cats and rabbits, the affiliated agents sent out flyers to get donations of the much-needed items on the Rancho Coastal Humane Society wish list,” said Steve Salinas, the branch manager of the Encinitas and La Costa office of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. “We also collected items in our office in the days leading up to the day of the event. We received bags full of dog toys, harnesses, food, blankets and cat toys. On the day of the event, eight pets found new homes.” The nationwide adoption weekend is part of the “Homes for Dogs Project,” a three-year campaign launched by Coldwell Banker Real
