San Dieguito celebrates new math, science building

BY KAREN BILLING Since the beginning of the school year, students have had a state-of-the-art new home for math and science on the San Dieguito Academy High School campus. The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) celebrated with a ribbon-cutting event on Friday, Sept. 29.

“What we have behind us would not be possible without a supportive community,” SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said at the ceremony in front of the two-story, 25,000-square-foot building. “It’s so gratifying to work in a place where five years ago our residents came together and said, ‘We want to invest in our schools’ and they passed Proposition AA and that’s what made this building possible.”

Dill said the campus’ old concrete buildings from the 1950s more closely resembled “fallout shelters than classrooms,” many of them without

windows — now students have ocean views from some of the spacious rooms. SVA Architects and Erickson Hall Construction were able to complete the district’s vision, bringing 19 new classrooms in total. Where two science classrooms used to have to share one lab, there are now eight labs. The “well-thought out,” fully-equipped instructional spaces are more reflective of a college learning environment, said SDA Principal Adam Camacho.

Math teacher Gail Lee said that in her 19 years at SDA, math teachers had always been scattered in classrooms all over campus.

“Now I think we have an amazing opportunity because we are all together finally,” Lee said, noting over the last few weeks of being in the building she is finding herself collaborating more with not just fellow math teachers but with the science department.

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A decision on whether to cultivate marijuana and allow delivery services in Encinitas will be left to the city council in October after the task force assigned to the issue was left undecided at its final meeting Sept. 28.

The Adult Use of Marijuana Act subcommittee was created in February with directions from the Encinitas City Council to return with information about cultivation, delivery and whether the city should move forward with a scientific survey.

Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz, who sits on the task force with council member Joe Mosca, said he was generally in favor of cultivation to support local farmers. But Mosca — concerned about general safety, banking regulations and a possible ballot measure from a proactive group — said the city should ban the substance outright. Kranz said he could support delivery for medicinal uses only, but neither council member thought a survey could benefit the city.

The group was presented with two possible ordinances at the meeting. One, at 13 pages long, would permit cultivation on agriculturally-zoned properties in the city, while the other, at five pages, would essentially maintain Encinitas' status quo by not allowing cultivation, storefronts or medicinal dispensaries citywide.

Because Kranz and Mosca could not come to an agreement at the meeting, the decision will now be left to the city council.

The task force said it expects the council to make a decision sometime in October at a special meeting, to allow time before a Jan. 1 state deadline.

Horvath

Boerner Horvath, a Democrat who was elected to a four-year council term in November 2016 after serving on the city's planning commission, said in a news release she will continue to support North County residents if elected to the state position.

"In the Assembly, I will be your champion on issues we care about," she said in a statement. "I will lead on policies that empower hardworking

families, fully fund our public schools, safeguard our most vulnerable populations, and protect the natural beauty of California. I will use my experience in the private sector to grow our economy and ensure that our state’s government reflects the same spirit of innovation that our businesses and residents are known for.”

When she ran for the Encinitas council seat in 2016, Boerner Horvath

listed preserving community character as her top priority. She told the Encinitas Advocate last October that keeping local businesses thriving, safe streets for everyone and protecting beaches, parks and trails were also issues she would focus on.

Authorities seeking info on commercial building fire

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Fire investigators are trying to determine what ignited a blaze that destroyed a single office inside an Encinitas commercial building Monday night, Oct. 2.

A resident living one street behind the business reported seeing light smoke about 10:55 p.m. Monday in the building on North Coast Highway near Civic Center Drive in Encinitas, Encinitas Fire Battalion Chief Jim Mickelson said.

Fire crews reported the smoke was increasing in intensity as they arrived on scene. Firefighters entered the building – the site of Traveltrust, a travel agency, and possibly other businesses – where they found a “middle office and computer room completely involved,’’ Mickelson said.

Flames had also spread to the ceiling and attic area directly above the office.

It took crews about 25 minutes to get it under control.

Encinitas Fire Battalion Chief Mike Spaulding said the fire caused an estimated $300,000 in damage and the sheriff’s bomb-arson team was trying to determine what sparked it.

PGA Jr League All Star golf team from Encinitas shines in recent competitions The San Diego County League #1 PGA Jr League All Star golf team from Encinitas won the Southern California/Aloha section sub-regional in Los Angeles at Industry Hills Golf Club Sept. 9. Representing Southern California, the All Star team then traveled to Harding Park Golf Course in San Francisco to compete in the West Coast Regional where they faced teams from Oregon, Washington and Northern California in a four-team round robin. The All Star team beat Oregon and Washington but lost to Northern California, tying for first place with a 2-1 record. The tie breaker was the most total points scored against all the other teams and the All Star team lost by 1.5 points, very close! The All Star team missed out going to Nationals again this year which will be conducted in Arizona next month.

Olivenhain Municipal Water District to host native plant workshop

Area residents are invited to attend a free workshop at the Elfin Forest Interpretive Center honoring Susan J. Varty on Thursday, Oct. 19, from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The workshop, presented by the Olivenhain Municipal Water District, is designed for individuals who are interested in incorporating native plants in their gardens to increase water efficiency and support local ecology.

Speaker Greg Rubin is a local landscape contractor who specializes in native gardens and is co-author of two books on native plants.

His presentation will touch on all aspects of native landscaping, and how it differs from

CLEAR SPRING FARM

conventional ornamental horticulture.

Topics of discussion include native soil ecology, how to capture that ecology in the home landscape, design concepts and styles, plant selection, irrigation design, watering schedules, maintenance, mulches, and pest and weed control. There will also be a special emphasis on the widespread damage being wrought by Argentine ants and some ways to deal with them.

Fall is an ideal time to add new plants to your garden as cooler weather and rain helps young plants become established. Many homeowners and businesses are choosing to incorporate native plants into their

17575 RANCHO LA NORIA RANCHO SANTA FE, CA 92067

landscapes due to the advantages they offer.

Native plants are climate appropriate and typically require less water and maintenance than traditional ornamental plant options.

Local ecosystems benefit from the use of native plants, and gardens can be designed to stay colorful year-round by choosing plants that bloom in each season.

The Interpretive Center is located at Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve, 8833 Harmony Grove Road in Escondido. Registration for this event is required no later than Tuesday, Oct. 17, at 5 p.m. Seating is limited. To register for this event, please go to www.olivenhain.com/events.

Teen describes harrowing attempt to kidnap her

BY TERI FIGUEROA The two men near the pickup truck left the Encinitas teenager uneasy, but she went about her business, and started waxing her surfboard in her neighbor’s driveway. She was on her knees, back to the men, when she suddenly saw a foot to her left.

Just as fast, there was a hand on her neck, pushing her down.

“It was pretty strong and forceful and aggressive and it came out of nowhere,” the girl testified Wednesday Oct. 4, in a Vista courtroom.

She said she caught herself with her hands, confused by what was happening late that afternoon on July 26 on Neptune Avenue near Grandview. On her hands and knees, she heard the assailant say, “Alright, let’s do this.” That, she said, “triggered my brain what was happening.”

The teen fought off the attacker in the driveway, confronted him briefly as she backed away, then hurried inside of the home. The men left. Two days later, sheriff’s deputies arrested a pair of Escondido roommates.

Encinitas hires new development services director The City of Encinitas has announced the hiring of Brenda Wisneski as its development services director. She will assume her role on Oct. 9.

This critical position oversees the engineering and planning divisions for the city, which are responsible for the following areas: capital improvement, inspections, traffic engineering, city planning, building and regulatory permits, housing resources, land development and code enforcement.

Wisneski comes to the City of Encinitas after serving as the Deputy Community Development Director for the City of Newport Beach. In total, she brings 26 years of city planning experience with her to Encinitas with previous roles working for San Clemente, Dana Point and Newport

Beach municipalities.

“I am honored to be joining the City of Encinitas team, especially in a role that plays a part in advancing the city’s vision for its future,” said Wisneski of her new position. “The City of Encinitas is a remarkable community, and in overseeing priority initiatives like the coastal restoration project, Beacon’s access and bluff stabilization, active transportation projects such as walkability and bike path accessibility, and Leucadia 101 streetscape, among others, we can enhance the vibrancy of the Encinitas community.”

In her role, Wisneski will be supporting the City of Encinitas City Council’s four areas of focus for the next two fiscal years: • Improve connectivity and mobility

for all users.

• Make the rail corridor a better neighbor.

• Promote green initiatives and protect natural resources.

• Attain a legally compliant housing element.

Wisneski will be managing the oversight of the recently reorganized development services department, which includes a staff of 53 full-time employees.

She holds a bachelor of arts degree in environmental studies and urban planning from UC Santa Barbara, and has also studied air quality and land use planning at UC Irvine. She is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners. — Submitted press release

SDUHSD to split into trustee areas for elections

BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) has begun the process of changing the method in which its trustees are elected.

At a Sept. 27 special meeting, the board passed a resolution to transition from an “at large” election system to a “by-trustee area” election system — meaning the district will divide into separate trustee areas and one governing board member will be elected by the registered voters in that area rather than the community at-large.

The new district map would be effective for the 2018 election.

In 2002, the California legislature enacted the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) which prohibits the use of at-large elections of governing board members if it “impairs the ability of a protected class to elect candidates of its choice or its ability to influence the outcome of an election.”

Under CVRA, the only way a school district can protect itself from potential CVRA litigation is to divide into the “by-trustee area” system — in recent years school districts and cities have been targeted by law firms for violations of the CVRA. In the case of Jauregui v. City of Palmdale, plantiffs argued that the city’s at-large method of election resulted in vote dilution for Latino and African American residents. A 2013 trial determined that the at-large method violated CVRA and the city settled for over $4.5 million plus interest and spent over $1.5 million in attorney fees.

SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill encouraged the community to be involved in the process as the district creates map options for the new trustee boundaries.

Two public hearings will be held prior to the creation of maps to take in public comment. The first will be held at the board’s regular board meeting on Thursday, Oct. 12, 6:30 p.m. at the district office and a second will be a special board meeting on Thursday, Oct. 19 at 6 p.m. at the district office.

After the map options are created there will be three public hearings throughout November. The board will vote on the area boundaries after the third public hearing, at the regular board meeting on Dec. 14.

Once created, proposed maps will be posted on the district’s website at cvra.sduhsd.net.

Encinitas girl shines in independent film

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A young Encinitas girl is making waves on televisions and big screens.

Kathleen Sheehy, 7, started doing commercials for brands such as H&M and BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse last year.

"She has a very outgoing personality, and I thought it might be something fun for her to do because she likes to meet people and talk," said Kathleen's mother, Lisa Mouradian. "We met with a local modeling agency, and they said she would be perfect for commercials."

The second grader at St. James Academy in Solana Beach who enjoys putting on shows for guests in her Encinitas home was selected for an even bigger role last summer, when she became a part of the cast of the independent film "Love All You Have Left."

The movie — produced by Caroline Amiguet Sivertson and Matt Sivertson, of San Diego — follows a couple who becomes distraught after their young daughter, played by Kathleen, suddenly passes away. One day, the mother goes to investigate noise in her attic and finds a teenage girl who claims to be Anne Frank.

Mouradian said the girl’s death is handled with class and enough ambiguity that the subject wasn’t too hard for Kathleen to tackle.

"They don't show the footage [of her dying]," Mouradian said. "They just show the little girl going off to school with her backpack and then the parents come home with their funeral clothes on.

Because of the emotional aspects and dialogue in the film, the mother said Kathleen will not view the film until she is older.

"It was very fun," she said. "We went to the beach and got ice cream. I loved that I got to meet people and have fun with the other girls."

LCC, SDA water polo teams set for Oct. 10 showdown

BY KEN GROSSE No matter the sport, the time or the circumstance, whenever La Costa Canyon and San Dieguito Academy face off, the stakes are simply more special. That will definitely be the case when the two local rivals match-up in boys’ water polo, Tuesday night, Oct. 10, at the Ecke YMCA Pool (7:30 p.m.).

In a sport where three of the top five ranked teams in the county reside in the North Coastal region as well as seven of the 20 CIF Division I programs, the Mavericks and Mustangs are pushing to get closer to the top echelon, a position now inhabited by the likes of Carlsbad, Cathedral Catholic and Vista. LCC, which competes at the CIF Division I level, is 6-7 this fall while San Dieguito, a relatively new program which just this year elevated from CIF Division III to II, brings a 12-4 mark to the table Tuesday and, like LCC, had not played its first Avocado League West contest at press time. Both head coaches know Tuesday’s showdown will be a good measuring stick of just where their programs are.

For fifth-year SDA head man Scott Kling, a victory would mean another step in the right direction. Taking over a team that had won just five games in three years, Kling has guided a steady Mustang ascent, including last fall’s trip to the CIF Division III finals

KEN GROSSE

SDA Junior Matheus Gensler where they lost to Helix in a tight contest. The ultimate goal is to reach Division I and be able to challenge the traditional powers come post-season.

Tuesday night could be a rung on the ladder heading in that direction.

“We’ve never defeated anyone in the district — LCC, Torrey Pines or Canyon Crest,” says Kling matter-of-factly. “It would be a huge game for the entire school if we could win. Beating an established Division I team would kind of announce ‘Hey, we’re stepping up.’ It should be closer this year, I feel we’ve caught up a little bit.”

A tad newer to the series, second-year LCC head coach Grant Harrington (in his third season overall at the school) understands the

significance but puts it in the context of the long-term view. “We don’t really talk about it that much because we like to focus game-to-game and we’ve got a pretty tough schedule — San Marcos, Canyon Crest and Torrey Pines — right in front of that one this year,” said Harrington. “But I know our team loves this game. Everyone has friends on both sides, there’s typically a nice crowd and it’s a good opportunity to test yourself in a high-intensity environment before CIF. “Since we’ve had the advantage lately, it’s been a fun game but San Dieguito’s done a great job of developing a solid core of players and has some nice wins. I expect it to be competitive from start-to-finish.”

KEN GROSSE

LCC Senior Gavin Simmons Featuring good overall team speed, SDA uses a quick-paced attacking game, looking to create offense early in the shot clock and keep opponents off balance. Senior Nate Conger and junior Matheus Gensler are the big guns but Kling calls depth his club’s chief weapon. “We can go 10 deep on our bench and still have the same type of fast, tenacious defenders that we have in the starting lineup,” says Kling. “We had a young team last year but they’ve grown together and while some of these guys aren’t going to be leading us in goals or steals, they allow us to keep a level of play that has made us more successful.”

Conger, a “fantastic driver,” has compiled 45 goals while Gensler, a power player capable of working at

two-meters or up top, has netted 44.

“Both excel at taking the game into their own hands but have also become proficient at bringing others into the offense,” notes Kling.

The Mavericks emphasis begins with the back line and senior goalie Gavin Simmons. According to Harrington, “We are a defense-oriented team and the focus is on protecting our cage first and foremost. Gavin gives us an aggressive presence in goal and provides the kind of support which allows us to use a more aggressive defensive strategy.”

Simmons has racked up 124 saves this fall and a team-high 57 steals.

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Concertgoers can travel back in time to the early 1600s to mid-1700s when the San Diego Baroque Solists presents a series of upcoming shows.

The five-member group will perform at Saint Paul’s Cathedral, 2728 Sixth Avenue in San Diego, on Oct. 7, and at the Saints Helen and Constantine Greek Orthodox Church, 3459 Manchester Avenue in Cardiff, on Nov. 17.

The San Diego Baroque Soloists will be joined by the 80 voices of the San Diego Master Chorale, under the direction of John Russell, and add more string players at the Oct. 7 concert.

Alison Luedecke, of Encinitas Ranch, who co-founded the group three years ago with head violinist Pierre Joubert, also of Encinitas, said San Diego Baroque Soloists was created to focus on early music performance.

Luedecke, who plays the harpsichord, said despite the music being from a different time, the musicians and their audiences are still very enthused about the songs.

“It’s very alive,” she said of the music that followed the Renaissance era. “A lot of [the music] has an improvisatory feel, which is always interesting to people.”

She said that because the group does not follow a conductor, the members feed off each other’s energy.

“We are just really in tune with each other and we’ll spontaneously change the dynamics and tempos a little bit,” she said. “There is a sense of aliveness and being in the moment

San Diego Baroque Soloists will perform in concerts Oct. 7 and Nov. 17. that I guess you could do in smaller ensembles.”

For its upcoming shows, San Diego Baroque Solists will focus on three iconic composers from the period: Georg Phillip Telemann, George Frideric Handel and Henry Purcell.

Luedecke said Telemann, Handel and Purcell each show variety within their compositions.

“When you start comparing and contrasting the different composers of similar times, you’ll hear even more contrast and little quirks in motives,” she said.

www.encinitasadvocate.com FROM AUDITIONS, A4 band. In preparation for the Gala, Hoff and O’Bryon are committed to working with CCA students throughout the rehearsal process.

Auditions will be held Oct. 16 at 3 p.m. in CCA’s Choir Room. The audition process will be vocal performer master class and candidates should be prepared with the musical sides, which will be available through CCA’s Envision website (cca-envision.org). Callbacks are to be held immediately following the initial audition.

For callbacks, singers may be asked to sing 16 bars of a pop song or rock song from the 1950s or ’60s. Auditioners are asked to please bring sheet music for their song, properly prepared in a three- ring binder. A pianist will be present to accompany all auditions. Auditions are open to all CCA students and alumni.

Hoff is best known as a Tony Award-winning actor from Broadway's Jersey Boys, The Who’s Tommy, and two Grammy Award-winning cast albums. This California native has enjoyed a 40-year career in theatre, film, television and radio.

He is a producer and founding member of the musical group The Midtown Men, currently on their seventh national tour.

Hoff’s passion for the arts has continually intersected with his business pursuits in entertainment, technology and brand development. His involvement in philanthropy led to his family’s longtime commitment to The V Foundation for Cancer Research, and struck a personal chord when his youngest daughter was diagnosed with pediatric leukemia, and his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. He

FROM KIDNAP, A3 accused of assaulting and trying to kidnap the 15-year-old girl with the intent to commit rape.

Each faces nine years in prison if they are convicted. Each has pleaded not guilty.

The two were in court for their preliminary hearing, which was expected to wrap up Thursday, Oct. 5 (after press time for this newspaper). At the conclusion, Superior Court Judge Robert Kearney will decide if there is enough evidence to order the men to face trial.

Fifteen years old at the time of the attack, the girl was the first to take the stand during the preliminary hearing for the men. With her parents and other family in the courtroom, the girl had a victim advocate behind her as she testified, and a golden retriever at her feet, a canine trained to provide comfort.

Now 16, the victim testified that her parents were out of town, so she was staying with a friend, but had ridden her bike home to fetch her board for a solo surf session.

The teenager testified that she “had a weird feeling” when she saw the men hanging out by a pickup as she approached her home. She saw them looking at her — so she hopped a neighbor’s fence to reach her home, because she didn’t want them to know where she lived. She got her board out, and sat in the neighbor’s driveway as she waxed her surfboard. Neptune was busy, neighbors and surfers walking past as she knelt over her board.

Suddenly, she was under attack.

Fueled by adrenaline, she fought back, fought him off. She looked at both men as she told them, “That’s not cool. You can’t do that.”

The second man, she said, looked surprised — “kinda freaked out” — and that he apologized as she backed away from the man who had grabbed her. But then she heard the second man

say “Go into the house” — a statement she said was not made to her, but to her assailant.

The girl rushed into the neighbor’s home, looking for a place to hide, terrified they would follow. The neighbor — a close family friend — was not home, but the teen had permission to enter the dwelling.

She peered out a window and saw them leave.

She tried to settle herself, for perhaps five or 10 minutes, then tried to reach out to friends and family by phone. When she spoke to her dad, he told her to call 911.

According to testimony, photos taken by authorities show red finger marks on the back of her neck.

In court, she identified Owens as the man who grabbed her, and White as the second man, the driver of the truck.

Deputies located the truck two days after the attack, and arrested White. Owens was arrested later that day.

In a recorded interview played in court, White told deputies that they were hanging out when Owens suddenly took off toward the girl. He thought his friend might try to talk to her — but then he suddenly grabbed her neck.

“It clicked in my mind something wasn’t right,” White told detectives during the recorded interview, and said he yelled at Owens to stop.

He said Owens later told him he “had this primal urge come over him.”

Another detective testified that a friend of the two men reported that Owens, on hearing that White had been arrested, laughed “hysterically.”

Owens reportedly told the friend that White was not at fault. Rather, according to the friend, Owens explained that he had been thinking of snatching up a girl for a few days — a desire triggered after meeting the friend’s girlfriend.

Olivenhain Municipal Water District recognized for government transparency, sound business practices Olivenhain Municipal Water District was recognized Sept. 27 at the California Special Districts Association conference in Monterey for achieving the “District of Distinction” biennial accreditation for the fifth time.

OMWD was the first water district in San Diego County to achieve this accreditation, and remains one of only 32 other agencies designated as a District of Distinction.

or Jews, this is the season for reflection, atonement, forgiveness and renewal.

In that spirit, I wish to apologize to anyone I’ve offended through my personal contact or written word.

My passion for education issues sometimes overrides my sense of decorum and respect for others, others who also share a passion for education. When passionate people are convinced they know the “one true way,” nature’s bad side can take over.

I am guilty of often dismissing other opinions and ideas simply because they do not agree with mine. For that I am truly sorry.

My passion sometimes manifests itself into frustration, anger, suspicion and intolerance.

This, coupled with my notorious predilection for impulsiveness (Why do I feel the need to hit Send without more careful consideration of the message’s tone and impact?), is a trait I must learn to tame.

I recognize that most of the people who dedicate their time and energy to the cause of bettering educational opportunities in our community are good souls. They may just see a different path to the end than I do.

I’m going to start my renewal by apologizing to those of you I’ve insulted or hurt, and ask for forgiveness.

In this age of incivility, it’s easy to catch the bug. Insulting behavior is contagious, and enough of it day after day normalizes the nasty way people often relate to one another.

I am as guilty of indulging in this behavior as others. Acknowledging this character flaw is my first step toward addressing it.

Next steps are to care less.

By that I mean to disconnect emotion from knowledge and be less critical of opinions different from mine. It’s not nuclear war if I don’t get my way on, say, later start times. This is not the end of the world.

The point is, as someone once said, it’s OK to disagree; just don’t be disagreeable.

A new low With that in mind, what happened at the Sept. 14 San Dieguito Union High School

District board meeting was a new low, even for SDUHSD board meetings that have become more tumultuous and disorderly over the past year or so.

Speaker after speaker criticized one individual by name, with accusatory finger-pointing and vitriolic fury.

Parent Wendy Gumb, the recipient of this unadulterated anger, sat in the back of the room while audience members clapped, whistled and cheered at the conclusion of every speech that vilified her.

I understand that many people are upset at her for assuming her mission is to tear down the district’s foundations. And this outrages many people.

But Gumb says these are false rumors, and explained her goals.

“My objective is that our public school district demonstrates full disclosure of the transfer of money in and out of our public schools and that taxpayers can clearly follow the money trail all the way down to a program level at the specific sites,” she wrote in an email.

After the lengthy public comment period ended for the High School Foundations Update item in the board packet, SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill spoke about speakers’ endorsements of the district’s foundations, calling them the envy of other school districts.

“One of the reasons I’ve stayed here for 16 years is because of what I’ve seen in this room,” he said, referring presumably to the support for foundations and not the explosive jeering and angry speeches.

Dill admitted that mistakes were made in accepting one donation in particular that didn’t follow board policy properly.

“Did we make an error in not presenting this to the board in 2013? Yes we did,” he said. But he said there was no ill intent.

Commented trustee Joyce Dalessandro, “There may have been some mistakes made, but were they so egregious?”

Foundations are good, transparency is good, and mistakes were made. Lord knows, I’ve made plenty of my own.

including compensation data of board members and staff, most recent financial audit, current district budget, board meeting schedule and agendas, and election procedure and deadlines.

Additionally, OMWD’s Board of Directors and executive staff must prove compliance in public governance, ethics, and harassment prevention training. OMWD also demonstrated outreach best practices that engage and inform the public in its governance and operations.

SDLF is an independent, nonprofit organization formed to promote good governance and best practices among California’s special districts through certification, accreditation, and other recognition programs. — Submitted press release But the district seems on track to fix those mistakes and enact policies that ensure proper handling of donations and greater transparency in the future. This is good.

What was truly egregious were the unremitting personal attacks directed at Gumb.

No private citizen deserves that kind of public treatment.

Good intentions By the same token, the attacks on the motives of the anonymous donor (who’s not really so anonymous any more) were also unacceptable.

Having spoken with him at length, I understand that his intentions were good.

Yes, there were problems at the district level with the foundation’s agreement with the donor, and policies were perhaps not followed appropriately. But this was not his fault.

The district seems poised to fix these problems and develop tighter guidelines in the future that more clearly define the roles of the schools, the foundations and the district – and clarify how the three should interact.

Perhaps there needs to be a threshold level for significant donations to the foundations that requires prior school board approval.

Perhaps foundation donations should be listed each month under the “Gifts/Donations” board agenda item.

Perhaps a more clearly understandable explanation should be provided of how and when foundations can rent or offer at no charge district facilities to outside parties.

Whatever policies will be enacted, the district and board appear ready to address past mishaps so they don’t happen again.

What’s even more important, though, is that we conduct ourselves, myself included, in a more civilized, dignified way.

Board presidents might consider exercising their right to pound the gavel to stop the jeering and quiet an unruly crowd. A second warning should clear the room.

Citizens should, of course, be allowed to speak, but public comment, and audience reaction to it, should be respectful.

We must remember, as the saying goes, that the children are watching. In this case, unfortunately, they literally were.

Maintaining civility and good behavior at board meetings in an era of incivility is a worthy goal. Maybe in our small microcosm of what’s becoming a toxic world, we can make small changes that begin to set things right again.

www.encinitasadvocate.com FROM POT, A1 Hundreds of residents flooded the council chambers at the meeting, taking nearly three hours of public comments, both for and against marijuana in the city.

Bob Echter, of Dramm & Echter Inc. in Encinitas, pushed for Encinitas to allow farmers like him to cultivate the plant on their properties to keep their businesses booming.

Echer said he would like to grow on a small portion of his 800,000-square-foot agricultural property to offset threats to the farming industry, like the rise of minimum wage and the scarcity of water.

Kranz said he wanted to support farmers like Echter.

"We are a historic agricultural community, and we have a group of people who have been committed to growing and keeping our agriculture industry alive," he said. "We, as a state, have legalized a new crop. For me, it makes sense to not tie the hands of our growers and let them get into that market."

Other proponents also argued delivery services could be beneficial to medical patients, that marijuana has been in Encinitas for years — whether or not opponents

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - OCTOBER 6, 2017 - PAGE A17

“realized it” — and cultivation could provide tax money for other city projects, like train track trenching.

Encinitas residents also largely approved marijuana with the passing of Prop. 64, which legalized the recreational use of marijuana in California in November 2016, proponents argued at the meeting. About 65 percent of people voted in favor of the initiative.

But opponents urged the council to not allow marijuana in the city to prevent access for children, crime and more DUIs. Maureen "Mo" Muir, wife of council member Mark Muir and board member on the San Dieguito Union High School District, as well as Leslie Schneider, who sits on the Encinitas Union School District Board, challenged Echter.

They said marijuana could negatively influence the city's youth, bring in crime and hurt property values.

Jason Yarbraugh, who spoke for Muir and Schneider during a rebuttal period against Echter, said the city should not let the benefits of a few people negatively affect the rest of the city. He called out Kranz for having a possible bias, which Kranz disputed.

"This has kind of been the Bob Echter show The events will begin at 7 p.m., Oct. 13, at Seaside’s North County location in Encinitas. A limited number of VIP tickets are available that include light food, beverages, reserved parking, preferred seating and a reception with Houston and the opportunity to speak directly with her as she signs books. The VIP reception begins at 5:45 p.m. More information and tickets can be purchased at bit.ly/2f5QbP0

for marijuana," he said. "Were you elected to represent Bob Echter and his hundreds of employees, or were you elected to represent the citizens of Encinitas?"

Yarbraugh called out Kranz for having a possible bias toward Echter, which the deputy mayor disputed.

Others said they were not in favor of marijuana in Encinitas because of decreasing property values if they live near the agricultural sites that would grow it.

Richard Bodger, a local organic avocado grower, said some farmers would rather not grow marijuana, and the city allowing farms to decide if they want to grow it could create unfair competition.

He said farmers should instead focus on growing largely imported, expensive fruits and vegetables instead.

"Our cultural heritage is in food," Bodger said. "My new motto is grow organic food in Encinitas, not pot."

The city was challenged last month when the San Diego-based Association of Cannabis Professionals (ACP) informed the city of its intent to circulate a petition that, if it received enough signatures, would place a ballot measure for a local election to have residents

decide if cultivation and storefronts should be allowed in Encinitas.

The ACP will have to obtain about 6,000 signatures from Encinitas voters to quality for an initiative on a special election ballot or about 4,000 signatures for a general election initiative, Mosca explained in a recent interview prior to the meeting.

Sapphire Blackwood, who works with the ACP, said the group would rescind its ballot measure should the city decide to pass marijuana regulations, including solely allowing cultivation in the city.

Mosca said the city could use the possible ballot measure to see what the residents want.

"It wouldn't be my place as a city council member to say no to a ballot measure. If they gather the signatures, it would go out to a vote,” he said. "It's all over the place in terms of what the will of the people is. If it's going to go to the vote of the people then I would yield to that."

Kranz argued there are too many risks if Encinitas took that route.

"I personally hope the council will take action and end the petition because it also calls for retail sales," he said. "It would be expensive for the city to conduct an election."

is representing Encinitas’ interests on a state level.

“When I look at our region we really deserve somebody who represents the values of our district, and I don’t see that we have that now,” she said in an interview. “I looked at it and said there are many ways to serve our city. We lose out that we don’t have somebody. ... Last year, I made a promise to voters to fight for the things that matter to us most, and since taking office I have realized that one of our biggest challenges is that we don’t have an Assemblymember willing to fight for us in Sacramento.”

She said her focus remains on issues that “empower hardworking families,” such as affordable housing, renewable energy, infrastructure projects and education.

Her Assembly campaign website, tasha4assembly.com, lists nearly 30 endorsements from community leaders such as Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear, Encinitas Council member Joe Mosca and State Assembly members Todd Gloria and Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher.

Boerner Horvath said she is proud of the people who have

supported her state campaign so far.

“I am excited about the campaign ahead,” she said. “I understand that there is likely to be more than one Democrat challenging [incumbent] Rocky Chavez next year, which I think is a positive thing. If the Democratic candidates can focus on running issue-oriented campaigns in the primary, it will improve our likelihood of success in the general election.”

Blakespear said Encinitas would benefit from having Boerner Horvath in Sacramento.

"While I enjoy serving with Tasha and will miss her, I believe there are lots of great people who can be effective locally," she said. "The state legislature needs more people like Tasha and I applaud her initiative, ambition and willingness to jump in."

However, others are skeptical of Boerner Horvath's choice to run and worry about her commitments to Encinitas while running her state campaign.

Encinitas Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz said he does not plan to endorse Boerner Horvath.

He said he was surprised she would begin a campaign 10

months into her council term, especially when "there are two other great Democratic candidates for the Assembly already."

"I'm not sure where she will find the time to do it all, but that's her challenge, not mine," Kranz said. "In my opinion, political ambition is best spread out over time and after accomplishing some of what you claimed were your goals when you asked voters to support you for the seat you have."

Former Encinitas Deputy Mayor Lisa Shaffer, who supported Boerner Horvath's campaign for council, said in an email she was "disappointed" in Boerner Horvath.

"As someone who encouraged Tasha to run for City Council, and who actively contributed to her campaign, I feel betrayed, and I believe other Encinitas voters will feel the same way," Shaffer said. "We elected Tasha so that she would work for us on issues she championed, such as safe routes to school and active transportation. I did not expect her to use her Council seat as a stepping stone to higher office before even completing her first year."

also said he was surprised Boerner Horvath would run early into her time on the council. He said he assumed the Democratic Party talked her into running and hopes she will represent all constituents, and not just those in her party.

"I just think it's important to understand and not be so party-centric that you're not open to other ideas or consensus building," he said.

"I don't know if Tasha can do that. I guess we'll find out."

He said he has not yet decided if he will be supporting any Assembly candidate and in the past has generally not endorsed candidates running for any office.

Boerner Horvath argued she remains committed to Encinitas’ issues as she continues to serve on council while running her campaign.

“I’m a very hardworking, tenacious person who’s dedicated with a high work ethic,” she said. “I was still a mom and businesswoman while running my [council] campaign. ... It’s absolutely possible to run a strong campaign and be a strong council member. Just as two council members work full time and are able to serve on the council, I will be more than able to run my campaign and serve on the council simultaneously.”

She said she has accomplished more in her eight months serving on the council so far than some officials do during their entire term.

She said she is proud of the strides she and her fellow council members have made regarding improvements to safe routes to school, Beacons Beach and the city's youth commission, as well as movements toward a state-certified housing element and alcohol regulations.

Democrats Michelle Cassel Gomez and Elizabeth Warren have also announced candidacies to attempt to unseat Chavez, a Republican, for the 76th Assembly District position, which represents the cities of Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside and Vista, as well as the Camp Pendleton Marine Base. Candidates must file between Feb. 12, 2018 and March 9, 2018 for the June 2018 primary election.

Encinitas City Clerk Kathy Hollywood confirmed that if Boerner Horvath is elected, the five-member city council would have to fill the council member’s vacancy, either by appointment or election.

www.encinitasadvocate.com FROM SDUHSD, A1 Chemistry teacher Russ Davidson, who has been at SDA for 18 years, said he is grateful for the opportunity teachers had to provide input into what the building and the classrooms should look like. He said the result is “amazing” — “a structure flexible enough to teach kids for the next 80 years like the last building did, that provides all of the technology, all of the physical resources and all of the instruction spaces to meet the needs of kids today,” he said.

At the ribbon cutting, Camacho thanked the students who put up with the dirt, noise and displacement that came with the construction project.

Camacho said the ribbon cutting represented another exciting day in San Dieguito’s rich 81-year history. He said he felt privileged to be the principal overseeing the construction of the new learning facility and the other projects in

FROM SHOWDOWN, A7 Germuska, the squad’s top scorer with 37 goals as well as 37 steals, and sophomore Carter Dean.

“Peter has great experience and knows the game well,” said Harrington, “and Carter does an excellent job defensively on the perimeter where we typically match him up with the other team’s best player.”

No matter the outcome of this season’s clash, both coaches know there will still be ample ground to cover before they’re in the same neighborhood with North County’s elite programs. The two also agree on the reasons for the current gap.

“They have their own water, which allows them to develop club teams on site,” says Kling.

“All of the elite programs have that type of situation. Their players are working together

progress, including the culinary arts classrooms expected to be complete this November and the new English, social science and arts building that is estimated to begin construction in December with a completion date of July 2019. The new building, at 43,000 square feet and 33 classrooms, will be the second largest classroom building in the district once completed.

“SDA has always been and will continue to be all about quality. It is a school where educational experience is motivated and measured by our authentic culture, our talented teachers and staff, our collaborative efforts with our community and, of course, our amazing students and their successes,” Camacho said. “The core of their success will come from our district’s laser focus on continually learning and executing what is best for kids. The new SDA math and science building is a perfect example of that.” throughout the year and they’re constantly feeding themselves through the youth teams.”

Harrington added, “Having a club team out of their home pool is a huge advantage. They have the ability to control and maximize their practice times. Our three teams — varsity, JV and novice — all practice together from 7 to 9:15 p.m.”

So, both coaches clearly know where they want to be and what’s standing in their way. But first things first. And that comes Tuesday night when either Harrington or Kling will likely leave the pool feeling much better about where his group is in the process. The big winner in this one, however, should be North Coast water polo fans who will be treated to two improving programs, a collision of contrasting styles and several high-caliber individual players in what should be an entertaining atmosphere.
