Council to decide between two districting maps BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY The Encinitas City Council is moving forward to consider two maps, one of which would decide how the city is split into districts. The council on Oct. 30 at a special meeting decided, with Council member Mark Muir voting no and Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz abstaining, to dwindle down a total of 22 maps to two citizen-submitted ones. Either of the two maps would divide Encinitas into four districts with an at-large mayor. According to the submitter's comments on the city's website, one of the maps, titled "Citizen 15," would "Keep core communities in tact [and] give all four a stake in El Camino Real." The other map, "Citizen 16," would "Keep the

core of communities together, cluster neighborhoods, and give three communities responsibility for the coast, El Camino Real and the Escondido Creek San Elijo Watershed," according to the submitter. Doug Johnson, the demographer the city hired to help with the maps, said it would be impossible for Encinitas to keep all five of its existing communities in tact and meet the demands of attorney Kevin Shenkman, who threatened the city with a lawsuit in July because he said the city is diluting the votes of minorities with its current at-large election system, thus violating the state’s Voting Rights Act of 2001. He also accused Encinitas of being discriminatory against Latinos, saying

“

All the maps have challenges, but equal population is the roughest thing to get. You can't follow natural borders like freeways.

”

Doug Johnson, demographer the city has a long history of hostility toward Latinos as evidenced by the fact that its first mayor repeatedly made racist statements during council meetings in the late 1980s. Shenkman has targeted many cities around California to move from at-large elections to district elections. In San Diego County, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Poway and Vista recently made the moves to district elections to

avoid litigation from Shenkman. Currently, Encinitas residents are asked to vote for two at-large candidates for city council and one candidate for mayor every two years. In the past, the mayor was a rotating position. In August, the city council declared its intent to move toward district elections to avoid litigation and is deciding whether to implement four districts with an at-large mayor or five districts with a rotating mayor. Johnson advised the council that it "can't achieve all the goals perfectly." Populations in Olivenhain and Cardiff made it difficult to not divide New Encinitas, for example, he said. "We have to come up with the best SEE DISTRICTS, A17

J*Company performs ‘Lion King’ songs for Encinitas pre-school BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY La Jolla theatre group visited an Encinitas pre-school Oct. 26 to expose them to the live arts and show them how fun it can be. As youth performers from J*Company presented songs from its currently running "Lion King Jr" show for the 2- to 5-year-old students of Easter Seals Head Start school, the children sat in awe and laughed as they watched a beloved Disney movie come to life before their eyes. The cast performed renditions of "The Circle of Life," "Hakuna Matata" and "I Just Can't Wait to be King" during the half-hour show, followed by question and answer periods. "See Young Simba?" Joey Landwehr, J*Company artistic director, asked the kids. "He's only 10. That's not much older than you. You can do this, too." Landwehr said he believes it is important for children to be exposed to the arts at an early age. He said he hoped the preschoolers seeing his cast, ages 10 to 15, was inspiring enough for them to think about letting the arts play a role in their lives. "Theatre changes lives and saves lives," he said. "Theatre has been proven to help people grow scholastically and socially. I think, especially in this day and age of social media where people don't connect anymore, theatre is one of the only outlets where you have to connect one-on-one. The younger they are, the better. We need to make sure that theatre and the arts are part of every child's life. It makes them a better human being to be able to empathize and connect with other people." David Landis, 10, who played Young Simba, said he was 7 when he began performing. "If you have a dream and you want to follow it, just go out there and do it," said the South

Young actors from J*Company perform “The Circle of Life” from the Lion King for preschoolers at Easter Seals Head Start school in Encinitas on Oct. 26. Carlsbad boy to the kids following the performance. J*Company gives back regularly to the community, Landwehr added. It has a program called Random Acts of Culture where they do select free performances for under-served areas of San Diego. Sharon Murray, a former full-time teacher at Easter Seals, said she set up the event and invited J Company to Easter Seals because the children at the school, which serves low-income families, have likely not seen live theatre before in their lives. In the past, the school brought in professionals such as firefighters and police officers to talk to the students about their jobs, but Murray thought the children should learn about the arts, too.

"We don't have a lot of opportunity for field trips to see art," she said, adding funding for field trips is limited. "When I act things out or sing, [my students] look at me like I'm a crazy person. When I tried to do things with them that were play-oriented, the concept wasn't there. I saw J Company was doing this show, and I thought that was perfect." Murray said she hopes the performance inspires kids, who aren't athletically inclined or have other hobbies, to know that the arts might be an option for them, if they enjoy singing and acting. J*Company will perform "Lion King Jr" at San Diego Center for Jewish Culture, 4126 Executive Drive in La Jolla, Nov. 4 at 8 p.m.; and Nov. 5 at 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. For tickets and more information, visit jcompanysd.org.

Encinitas installs temporary bathrooms to combat Hepatitis A outbreak BY BARBARA HENRY In an effort to improve sanitation and stop the spread of a regional Hepatitis A outbreak, Encinitas has set up portable restrooms and hand-washing stations at five locations where homeless people are thought to congregate. One’s in the lower City Hall parking lot, just across Vulcan Avenue from the train station. Two are at public beaches -Moonlight and Swami’s. One’s at a city park -- Leucadia’s tiny Roadside Park, which has previously had no bathrooms. The final one’s at the city’s Community & Senior Center on Oakcrest Park Drive.

Encinitas started putting out its portable restrooms in early October, and originally only planned to have them in four locations, Assistant City Manager Mark Delin said Oct. 26. The fifth spot -- the community center -was added later after recent reports about people going to the bathroom in the bushes at night near there, he said. Asked how the program was going so far, Delin responded, “We’ve only got one complaint from the public so far about the Porta-Potties, so I think that it’s off to a good start.” Mayor Catherine Blakespear said she received positive comments from subscribers

to her weekly newsletter, but the city did receive one complaint via e-mail from someone who said a person was washing his private parts in Leucadia Roadside Park’s new hand-washing station. While that was the only complaint reported to City Hall by early Thursday, Oct. 26, a reporter touring the various portable restrooms Thursday morning, Oct. 26, saw evidence that the new program was facing some challenges. Both the Moonlight and Swami’s Beach portables appeared to be suffering from overuse. Moonlight’s new portable was so full of human waste and paper that the pile

poked up above the toilet seat. Swami’s waste pile wasn’t quite that high, but the portable toilet had been vandalized -spray-painted graffiti appeared on two of its interior walls. The condition of the portable restroom at Leucadia’s Roadside Park was impossible to ascertain because someone had put a lock on the door, preventing people from using it. And, in the lower parking lot at City Hall, access to the new hand-washing station was blocked by two, small tarp-covered piles of asphalt.

Leucadia Small Business Saturday to take place Nov. 25

The Leucadia 101 Main Street recently announced its third annual Small Business Saturday event on Nov. 25. Leucadia has quickly become one of North County’s most bustling shopping and dining destinations — due to the high quality, diverse, locally-owned businesses and restaurants. “These business owners are your neighbors, friends and they are definitely some of the hardest working people you can find” said Brian Evans, president of the Leucadia 101 Main Street Association. “Take some time to get to know your local business owners and you are sure to uncover a unique story about your community and learn a little about local history.” The Leucadia 101 Main Street encourages shoppers to arrive early and partake in brunch at one of their many local breakfast eateries. Prepare for a day of shopping and walking at places like Priority Public House or Coffee Coffee where they’ll be offering special deals in honor of Small Business Saturday.

On Nov. 25, shoppers can expect a festive atmosphere with special live music, an Instagram scavenger hunt, live art by Theresa Giolzetti, major in-store promotions and gifts with purchase opportunities. The first 150 customers to make a $50 purchase at a participating business will receive a free limited edition ‘Leucadia’ print by local artist Isaac Mitchell. Make sure to shop early because these much-coveted prints will run out quickly. Throughout the day, The Leucadia Main Street will be hosting scavenger hunts for $100 gift cards hidden throughout Leucadia. All clues will be given through Instagram, so be sure to follow @leucadia101mainstreet so you can play along. Like years past, there will be a Hwy 101 cleanup on the morning of Small Business Saturday. Past cleanups have removed over 5,000 cigarette butts from Hwy 101, cigarette butts that would eventually end up in the ocean. This year’s cleanup is in partnership with Surfhouse Adventures, a

boutique motel, dedicated to keeping Leucadia and its beaches beautiful. To volunteer, email info@leucadia101.com with “Hwy 101 cleanup” in the subject line. The goal of Small Business Saturday in Leucadia is to encourage residents to shop where they live. One study from Civic Economics found that for every dollar spent in a small business, 48 cents recirculate into the community as compared to only 14 cents spent at a chain retailer. Enticing new customers to visit established and newly opened businesses is central to the campaign’s goals; customers may find they have been traveling long distances only to realize that they could have purchased the same item or service in their own neighborhood. Participating businesses so far include: Leucadia Plant and Floral, Fully Loaded Micro Juicery, Coffee Coffee, Seaweed and Gravel, Random’s Boutique and Priority Public House. For full details on participating business offers, please visit leucadia101.com.

SDA student to compete in Miss California Teen USA pageant BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Kianoosh Jafari, a 17-year-old honors student at San Dieguito Academy in Encinitas, has been selected to represent the City of Angels in the upcoming Miss California Teen USA pageant. Kianoosh will compete in the pageant in Long Beach from Dec. 1 to Dec. 3. The winner of the competition will go on to compete for the Miss Teen USA title at the national Miss USA competition. Kianoosh is on her school’s varsity speech and debate team and competes in Lincoln-Douglas morality debates across California. She is also treasurer of her school’s “Sweet Friends” type one diabetes support group and leads a nonprofit organization called Noosh’s Pause for Paws that raises funds for local animal shelters. The lifelong San Diego native recently discussed her aspirations for becoming the next Miss Teen USA. For more information about the Miss Teen USA competition, visit misscaliforniausa.com. How were you selected to compete in this pageant? I competed in an official Miss California Teen USA preliminary pageant called Miss City of Angels Teen USA where I was fortunate enough to take home the crown and sash out of dozens of other

pageants for about two years now. As a child, I had always wanted to enter a pageant, but lacked the confidence to do so. However, one day I decided to take the risk and enter a pageant. Ever since, I have completely fallen in love with them. I love the confidence and important life skills they teach women. Not only that, but my public speaking skills have improved greatly, allowing me to apply theses skill to other aspects of my life. Whether it be through school, speech and debate or college interviews, pageants encourage me to be the best version of myself that I can possibly be. Why should you win? The crown and sash of Miss California Teen USA are not just IRMA LOMIDZE Kianoosh Jafari beautiful accessories to me. They represent an opportunity to girls. As a contestant, I competed in promote important causes all across activewear, evening gown, a the state of California. One cause personal interview and onstage that is very near and dear to my questions, all of which were heart is my nonprofit organization, compiled to create a final score. The Noosh’s Pause for Paws, where I contestant with the highest score collect new and used blankets, received the title of Miss City of towels, sheets and other goods that Angels Teen USA and my entry fee animals need and distribute them for the state pageant was paid for. amongst animal shelters in Los What is your history with Angeles and San Diego. With the pageants? How long have you title of Miss California Teen USA, I been doing them, why did you would be able to reach a much get involved and why do you larger audience, thus allowing me to enjoy doing them? gain more donations and help more I have been competing in animals in need.

When and why did you start this nonprofit? What’s your goal with the nonprofit? How much have you raised so far? After begging my mother for a dog for 14 years, she finally allowed me to adopt one. Not long after adopting my dog Oliver, my view towards animals changed forever. Oliver has allowed me to witness first-hand the love and happiness that pets can provide. This love for animals has inspired me to start my own nonprofit organization, Noosh’s Pause for Paws. My ultimate goal is to provide animals with comfort and hope during their times of need. Through the thousands of donations I have distributed to shelters, I have been able to do exactly that and hope to expand my nonprofit and help as many animals as possible. You’re involved in a type one diabetes club at school. Why is this important to you? I have been the treasurer of a type one diabetes support group called Sweet Friends for approximately three years now. I am involved in this club because both my father and my best friend as well as a few other students at my school have type one diabetes. Through this club, I am able to learn more about type one diabetes and how I can support those who are affected by it. In addition, through the “Sweet

Friends” club, we have been able to raise over $1,000 for the JDRF type one diabetes research organization, allowing us to come one step closer towards finding a cure. This has been one of the many contributions I have made to support my loved ones suffering from type one diabetes as well as others affected by the disease What other extracurricular activities are you involved in? I am heavily involved with my school’s Speech and Debate team where I compete in Lincoln-Douglas morality debates. In these types of debates, I am given a hypothetical moral issue and must argue for or against the topic with very little time to prepare. Through my onstage questions at pageants, I have learned to think and respond on the spot to similar topics but in front of larger audiences. I feel that this has further improved my confidence and speaking in debates. What or who do you hope to represent by winning Miss California Teen USA? If given the opportunity to become the next Miss California Teen USA, I would love to be a representative for animals in need.

San Dieguito Academy presents comedic modern musical ‘Calvin Berger’ San Dieguito Academy students will be performing Barry Wyner’s Calvin Berger on Nov. 9, 10 and 11. House opens at 6:30 p.m. and curtain times are 7 p.m. all evenings. Due to popular demand, an additional performance has been added on Wednesday, Nov. 8 at 4 p.m. Loosely based on Edmond Rostand’s “Cyrano de Bergerac,” Calvin Berger is a comedic modern day musical about four students struggling through the beginning of their senior year of high school. Like all students, the lovable characters Calvin, Bret, Rosanna and Matt all have their own insecurities ranging from their looks to their intelligence. Calvin has had a crush on Rosanna for years, but he hasn’t been confident enough to talk to her because of his largest insecurity: the size of his nose. This doesn’t seem to matter to his friend, Bret, who signals her attraction to Calvin without him noticing. To make matters SEE PLAY, A17

Sports Spotlight: North County female athletic directors BY KEN GROSSE Being a modern day high school athletic director is not a job for the faint-of-heart. Unless you’re an intelligent, competitive, versatile, people person who likes to work long hours and deal with a kaleidoscope of issues, don’t bother applying. There are currently 127 member institutions in the California Interscholastic Federation’s (CIF) San Diego Section. Outside of their personal characteristics, 21 of the 127 athletic directors running those programs, have an added distinction —they are women. Eleven of the 21 oversee larger public school programs and five of those are at North County schools — Kari DiGiulio (La Costa Canyon), Charlenne Falcis-Stevens (Torrey Pines), Amanda Waters (Carlsbad), Peggy Brose, the veteran of the group in her 16th year on the job at Rancho Bernardo, and first-year member of the club, Terri Kilpatrick at Oceanside’s El Camino High School. On average they have more than 25 sports and well over 1,000 student-athletes under their supervision (in Waters’ case, an incredible 1,800 of Carlsbad’s 2,300-person student body compete on an athletic team). Being that it’s 2017, some 45 years since the introduction of Title IX legislation that paved the way for gender equality, that number (21) may seem a bit low. But while the quantity might require further explanation, the quality is unquestionable. DiGiulio, and Falcis-Stevens both direct programs that are perennially among the elite in terms of broad-based success at the highest level. The former won 2016-17 San Diego Female Athletic Director of the Year honors after LCC

Charlenne Falcis-Stevens

teams won 10 league and seven CIF titles. Falcis-Stevens’ Torrey Pines program was named the No. 1 athletic school in the state of California in both 2014-15 and 2015-16. Brose’s Rancho Bernardo squads have captured CIF crowns in an amazing 21 different sports during her tenure. Their daily responsibilities range from coordinating team travel to scheduling, lining up officials, managing home events, facility oversight, grades/eligibility, fund-raising, increasingly challenging parental issues and a plethora of other tasks. They cite time management, organization, flexibility and the willingness to effectively delegate as keys to success. “A typical day? I’m not sure that exists,” says DiGiulio. “The

days pass quickly and you never know what will be thrown your way next.” Or, as Brose puts it, “One thing you get used to is starting with a day plan and showing up on site only to have it shot to pieces.” The North County five have a number of similar traits and stories. All were athletes themselves and have been teachers and coaches (most still have a hand in both) at the prep level. Surprisingly, given their accomplishments, the majority had not really spent much thought on a career in athletic administration but wound up there having been identified by colleagues as potential leaders. While Brose, with the support of long-time Rancho Bernardo Athletic Director Mark

COURTESY

Oschner and others, actively prepared herself for a potential administrative role while in the midst of an illustrious 28-year basketball coaching career, the path taken by many of her peers was much more serendipitous. “When the position opened at La Costa Canyon, the superintendent called and asked me to apply,” says DiGiulio, who was at the tail end of an 11-year run as head field hockey coach at Torrey Pines. “He thought I would be a strong candidate but, honestly, I had not considered it until that phone call.” Falcis-Stevens and Waters have relatable stories. “When my principal asked if I was interested in becoming the Athletic Director, I thought, ‘That’s a huge job,’ ” said Falcis-Stevens. “I wondered how I could continue to teach chemistry, coach my team and handle that. “But as head track and field coach, I supervise 10 assistant coaches and 200 athletes. As AD, the skill set would be comparable and I had seen Kari’s effectiveness as the AD at La Costa Canyon and felt, ‘She can do it, there’s no reason I can’t do it too.’” And “do it,” they do. Talking with any of the five, one comes away with a sure sense of their collective confidence, energy and the infectious enthusiasm that can be found in successful leaders of business, industry or athletics — be they male or female. But as one of the latter, they have also been trailblazers of a sort, handling a demanding job in what has traditionally been a male-dominated environment while, in the SEE ATHLETIC DIRECTORS, A18

Dream Dinners offers ease for healthy, home-cooked meals North County residents can take advantage of a home-cooked meal without the hassle of going to the store and prepping thanks to Dream Dinners, which has a location in Solana Beach. The 15-year-old franchise, which has more than 75 locations across the country, offers a variety of new meals every month that caters to different diets. “We help busy families reconnect around the dinner table by making it easy to serve a homemade meal, even on the busiest weeknights,” said Kate Patterson, owner of the Solana Beach store, which has been open for 12 years. “We take care of all the planning, shopping and prep so that all the busy cook needs to do is thaw meals for the week, and cook them.” Patterson, who took over ownership in 2013, said the store’s regular guests save about 20 hours and $200 on groceries and takeout, on average, every month. All ingredients are restaurant quality and locally-sourced whenever possible. Kim Martin, the Solana Beach store’s manager of seven years, said their clientele is anyone who wants healthy, homemade dinners. Meals come in medium and large sizes to accommodate families between two and six people. She said while there are a number of meal delivery options out there today, she likes to

The Dream Dinners Solana Beach team celebrated the company’s 15-year anniversary this spring. think of Dream Dinners as the “original” meal kit business. However, she said, there are a few differences that make Dream Dinners stand out among the rest. “First and foremost, we take care of prepping all the ingredients, which saves a ton of time,” she said. “For example, if a recipe calls for diced green onions, the mail-order dinner options will send a bunch of onions. At Dream Dinners, the onions are chopped and ready to add to the recipe. Also, we believe our cooks know their families best, so all our recipes can be customized.”

When we say “on the surf ” it’s not a figure of speech.

COURTESY

Monthly menus include 17 to 20 different meals, with beef, chicken, pasta and seafood options. Each guest determines the number of meals they want to order based on the number of nights they want to serve a meal from Dream Dinners. “Most choose to serve our dinners at least three nights a week, but some prepare Dream Dinners five or six nights a week,” Martin said. “Some of our guests with larger families come in twice a month.” Customers choose when they want to come in and assemble their meals. The

activity is fun for the entire family to join in, Patterson said. Dream Dinners offers morning, evening and weekend sessions throughout the month. A guest can also choose for Dream Dinners to assemble their meals for them. “About one-third of our guests use our Made For You service, which we are offering free in December to help with the holidays,” Patterson said. “Although we are not a subscription, we encourage our guests to sign up every month. Once serving home-cooked meals becomes a lifestyle habit, they never go back to take-out. They also receive extra rewards under our loyalty program.” Dream Dinners also hosts parties and fundraisers. Special introduction offers are available for first-time visitors who want to try Dream Dinners. To help with the holidays, the company also offers complete turkey dinner meals with appetizers, like mini chicken pot pies. “We’re geared up to take the extra work and stress out of cooking,” Martin said.

Rain, Wind and Fire… “The three menaces to any chimney, ﬁreplace or stove.”

Eric and Leigh Zamora opened Solomon and Co. Hair Studio in August.

BRITTANY WOOLSEY

Leucadia couple opens salon with creative space for artists BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A couple has opened — what they hope to be — the ultimate creative space in Leucadia. Eric and Leigh Zamora opened Solomon and Co. Hair Studio, at 1114 North Coast Highway 101, in August. The small 650-square-foot building includes two rooms: one for Eric's hair studio, with two styling stations, and the other as a space for local artists and musicians to share their work. Leigh said she and her husband, who have lived in Leucadia for three years, wanted to open the space to create a venue for collaboration. "All throughout history, you've had all of the musicians and artists together, drinking wine and eating breads," she said. "Things are growing out of that now. We're hoping to do that same thing here since there are so many creative people here in our community." Each month, Solomon and Co. — named after Leigh and Eric's son — features different creative people, like artists, musicians and jewelry makers. Leigh, who has two children with Eric, said

many kids have shown excitement about their parents showing off their art at the studio. "It's showing all of the upcoming generation too how important it is to express yourself and continue on your creative talent," Leigh said. Eric, who has been doing hair for five years and previously worked in Oceanside, said he wanted to open his own salon to have more creative freedom and control over his time. He specializes in haircutting but also does coloring and styling, Because there are only two salon chairs, customers can get a more private, relaxing experience while getting their hair done, rather than the hustle and bustle of a busy salon with multiple stylists. The salon also boasts an outdoor area, which the Zamoras decorated on a $100 budget, to give visitors a space to relax between appointments or enjoy the art.

‘Beach Bowl’ to determine ownership of the Golden Surfboard: TPHS vs. LCC The final regular season week of high school football games in San Diego County is, traditionally, “rivalry week,” and there is no healthier rivalry than between Torrey Pines and La Costa Canyon. Not only is it an important Avocado League game, the contest this Friday, Nov. 3, will crown the San Dieguito Union High School District champion in the 12th annual “Beach Bowl” with the awarding of the Golden Surfboard. The Beach Bowl game is a fun way for the entire school district of beach communities to celebrate its strong academic and athletic programs, and crown the SDUHSD football champion for the year. Kick-off will be at 7 p.m. at Torrey Pines High School in Carmel Valley. As usual, a large and enthusiastic crowd is expected. In addition to the prestigious Golden Surfboard trophy being at stake, the game is an important Avocado League match for both teams. The Mavericks and Falcons come into the Beach Bowl with identical 6-3 overall and 3-2 league records. La Costa Canyon lost two tough games to league rivals ranked in the county’s top five

The 12th annual “Beach Bowl” winning team Nov. 3 will receive the Golden Surfboard. (number one Mission Hills and San Marcos) for a 3-2 Avocado League record. The Falcons went down to El Camino and were edged out by Mission Hills. This final game of the regular season could vault the winner into a tie for second place, depending on the Mission Hills vs San Marcos result, and will help decide the final seedings for both teams in the CIF playoffs. Last year’s Beach Bowl saw the Falcons reclaim the Golden Surfboard with a victory over their rivals on the Mavericks’ field. This year, the Mavericks hope to return the favor.

Also in the spirit of the friendly district rivalry, the traditional “Survivor” competition between student representatives from both schools will be held at halftime, featuring a variety of fun and athletic contests. Senior students, in male and female categories, at both schools compete in daily physical contests during the week leading up to the Beach Bowl to determine each campus’ representatives in the final Survivor showdown for further district bragging rights on Friday night. Adding to the local flavor of the Beach Bowl theme is San Diego County’s most unique trophy, the Golden Surfboard, a work of art created 12 years ago by students of LCC art teacher, Ron Lenc, out of a surfboard donated by now retired science teacher Jerry Trust. The work of art symbolizes the SDUHSD and the history of the north-south rivalry, going back to 1974 and the days of San Dieguito High School. The current rivals’ school colors and logos are also represented on the Golden Surfboard. —Submitted press release

waiting until the Poway decision — although Muir and Council member Joe Mosca each said they're also curious about that court ruling — Kranz decided to abstain from the Oct. 30 vote. "We're doing a wrong thing but I don't want it to be a no vote so people don't think I have a problem with one map or the other," he said. Kranz also asked if Encinitas could fight this issue in court and form a class action lawsuit with Poway. Christopher Skinnell, the special counsel the city hired regarding districting, said the city could sue but there would be no guarantee it would be the same judge from the Poway case, and therefore the Encinitas decision may be entirely different from Poway's. Kranz and Mosca were unanimously appointed to a subcommittee for potential litigation regarding the California Voting Rights Act at the end of the meeting. Muir, the only voting council member who voted no, said he was tempted to abstain but decided not to. He said he

wished the issue could go to the residents to vote on, but if the city must choose between the two maps, he preferred 16. Other residents urged the council to fight the districting process. Resident Sandy Beck said the city should not give in to a "bully" lawyer's demands. "We are unique here," she said. "We have resolve to fight for our rights. I think you'll see a clear majority of citizens here want you to fight this. We are worth it." Mayor Catherine Blakespear, however, said it is important the city move forward with district elections to avoid possible litigation. The city is already spending money on lawsuits involving the housing element update, she said. Robert McFarlane, a 47-year resident who helped the city incorporate, said, above anything, Encinitas should keep in mind the values it was founded on, of five communities banding together to keep their unique characters alive. Districts will be implemented in the November 2018 or November 2020 election.

map that balances all of those," he said. "All the maps have challenges, but equal population is the roughest thing to get. You can't follow natural borders like freeways." The council appeared to generally favor map 16 but is expected to make a decision at the Nov. 8 meeting. The map would then be adopted Nov. 15. The city must make a decision by Nov. 28 to stay within a 90-day litigation hold window. But many people at the meeting also spoke in opposition to the city moving forward with districts at all. Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz said he believes Encinitas should keep its current at-large system, at least while a similar case in Poway is being heard. Former Poway Mayor Don Higginson filed a federal lawsuit earlier this month challenging the constitutionality of the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA), according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. Because Kranz received little support for

FROM HEPATITIS A, A2 parking lot reported that a barefoot man who appears to be homeless often uses that new portable restroom, but not the hand-washing station. Told of these conditions, Delin said the lock at the Leucadia Roadside Park portable was unauthorized and he would send someone to resolve that situation. The asphalt piles in the City Hall lot were related to the construction activity, he said. “It just happened this week and it’s supposed to be cleaned up within days,” Delin said. All of the portables are scheduled to be serviced every seven days, he said, adding that he wasn’t sure when the last servicing had occurred, but the city would look into the issue given the reports of waste overload at the Moonlight and Swami’s portables. San Diego County declared a public health emergency in response to the growing Hepatitis A outbreak on Sept. 1. As of Tuesday, Oct. 24, the county’s Health and Human Services Agency reported that there were 516 cases of hepatitis A and 19 deaths from the illness in the county. The virus, which causes a highly contagious liver infection, is spread when people come in contact with fecal material. Some people who contract the disease show no symptoms, while others experience fever, fatigue, vomiting, a yellowing of the eyes, dark urine and diarrhea, county health officials report. Because many of the people who have contracted the disease are homeless, there’s been a regional movement to make public bathroom facilities available 24 hours a day. Instead of keeping the doors of permanent restroom buildings open all the time, area cities have been exploring the use of portable restrooms because they are temporary

FROM ATHLETIC DIRECTORS, A7 case of four-of-the-five, also starting a family. It’s a dynamic that is at least partially responsible for the relatively low numbers sitting in the athletic director’s chair. “I’d like to see more female athletic directors in San Diego,” says Brose, “but then I don’t have as many female head coaches at Rancho Bernardo as I’d like either. At some point for many women who are coaches or potential administrators, the family component starts to enter in.” As a group, the quintet has a total of 10 children, including DiGiulio’s four, which makes her something of a phenomenon with her peers. “I don’t know how Kari does it, but I think it’s great” says Falcis-Stevens. “Sometimes it’s tough but I am always able to find the balance in my life. My kids come to a lot of stuff at school and I have quite a few people I can count on for both career and mental support. I’m also very fortunate that I have a lot of veteran coaches on our staff who are passionate, know their programs inside and out and can be invaluable in helping to guide our newer coaches.” And lest you’re thinking that one side inevitably suffers at the hand of the other, DiGiulio is quick to point out that her days start early and she always gets “home in time to be a point of contact with my children after their school day” before often returning to the LCC campus to coach field hockey or check in with other teams’ practices and events. That kind of commitment has not gone unnoticed. “Charlenne is very organized, communicates well with the coaching staff and responds quickly to situations,” says veteran Torrey Pines boys’ basketball coach John Olive when queried about Falcis-Stevens. “It’s never really crossed my mind that she was a female AD but I will say that having an athletic director who has coached is really helpful. She understands the

structures and vandalism to them is considered to be less costly to fix. “There’s only so much damage you can do in a Porta-Potty ... there’s a lot of damage you can do in a fixed restroom,” Delin said. Blakespear said that she initially expected people to complain that the new portables were unsightly, but said she now thinks that portables are so often installed at street fairs and other events that people don’t even notice them. “They’ve been normalized,” she said. Originally, when Blakespear asked city staff members to explore the restroom issue, she had suggested just keeping some of the city’s permanent restrooms open 24 hours, but was told that vandalism isn’t the only issue with that proposal. Other cities have had problems with people sleeping and engaging in other activities in the permanent bathrooms if they are left open all night, she said. Encinitas is paying about $100 a week for each of the portable restrooms — or $500 total a week for all five of them — while the hand-washing stations are provided free by the county, Delin said. The city hasn’t set a time limit on how long it will keep them in place, he said, adding the City Council may make a decision on that when it puts together its new city budget next year. Blakespear said she expects Encinitas will continue to operate the portables in the coming years. “I think of them as being indefinitely — I would be surprised if we took out our only 24-hour bathrooms,” she said, adding that she believes Encinitas should provide bathrooms that are open to the public at night. “I think it’s irresponsible and it’s not a reflection of who we are as a city to say, ‘This is not my problem.’” — Barbara Henry is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

have a lot of power, and I would love to use that power to be a representative for homeless and shelter animals across the country. What do you like about representing San Diego specifically? I have lived in San Diego my whole life.

This city is everything I know and holds an important place in my heart. To be a representative for the city of San Diego at such a large pageant is truly an honor. I love both San Diego and pageantry, so to be given the opportunity to represent my hometown at a pageant is a great way to combine the two.

intricacies of what a coach goes through.” Sixth-year LCC boy’s soccer coach Craig Dean feels that DiGiulio’s strengths carry over to the entire department. “Kari is extremely professional but easy to approach and able to be personal as well,” says Dean, who has led the Maverick boys to a pair of CIF titles in his first five years on campus. “She’s very organized and demands the same kind of organization out of the coaching staff. She sets high expectations across the board while at the same time giving you the freedom to do what needs to be done with your sport. “At first, it’s a little different having a woman in that role but as soon as you meet and speak with Kari, you recognize her knowledge, background and enthusiasm and quickly forget about it.” Among all of their similarities and differences, one thing seems to stand above all — they love their jobs for a variety of reasons but they inevitably circle back to the students as the root of their satisfaction. “Honestly, watching our student-athletes compete, knowing that they have worked so hard for that moment, is incredible,” says DiGiulio, whose father, John Labeta, is Assistant Commissioner of the CIF San Diego Section as well as a former AD at LCC. “So much can be taught and gained, while using athletics as the platform. The majority of student-athletes have this wonderful and charismatic way of life, one that is inspiring.” Her peers echo those types of sentiments. “Watching a group of athletes believe in a program and be supportive and respectful of each other is very satisfying,” says Falcis-Stevens, while Waters added, “The students are No. 1. The favorite part of my job is helping kids. I’m happy when I see them try harder whether it’s in athletics or academics —happy when they change something around in their lives for the better.” And, although there is still the occasional reminder that they are

women in a profession once exclusive to males, they definitely feel comfortable in their surroundings. “There have never been any gender issues on my own site,” says Brose. “I think I had the respect of my fellow coaches when I took this job — they’d seen me in a leadership role already. But, it’s a little different outside and there are still times when somebody at a meeting will say something and I find myself thinking ‘Did I just hear that?’ ” Despite her credentials, DiGiulio has faced a fair share of doubters. “I’ve been laughed at and humiliated in this position, simply for being a woman and been told I know nothing about sports. I consider it something of an insult seeing the sheer shock in people’s expressions when I say that I am the Athletic Director at La Costa Canyon High School.” “When people contact the athletic director, they assume I’m a guy,” says Waters. “I know it’s 2017, but I experience people looking at me like, ‘You’re the AD?’ It still happens.” But none find the sporadic slights a significant deterrent to getting the job done. “When it comes to decision-making, it’s not about being a woman,” says Falcis-Stevens emphatically. “It’s about what’s right for your school and your students. When I’m hiring a coach for a girls’ sport, I’m not necessarily looking for a female coach — I’m looking for the right coach.” The five are also unanimous in encouraging others to follow in their footsteps. “I tell them to ‘Go for it,” says DiGiulio when asked what wisdom she would impart to those aspiring to her position. “Women can succeed in athletics, in anything. I’ve held my own in the thick of it all. I would remind young women to stay confident and never give up on yourself because young girls will always be watching and admiring. I love it when my daughter tells her friends about my job. I see the pride in her eyes and I know I have made an impact.”

COURTESY

Hoehn Porsche Carlsbad Dealership Groundbreaking Hoehn Motors recently held a groundbreaking for the construction of a new Porsche Carlsbad dealership. The three-story dealership, totaling 71,614 square feet, with roof-top parking and site improvements, will be in the same location it has operated for the past 30 years at 6800 Avenida Encinas, Carlsbad, 92011, adjacent to the I-5 freeway. The new Porsche Carlsbad dealership was designed by the multinational architectural firm Gensler in collaboration with the Porsche architectural team. The building’s design represents a modern, clean, unornamented structure that communicates the prestigious Porsche brand. A drought-tolerant plant palette provides a sustainable and low-maintenance site consisting of Queen palms and African sumac trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses, vines and ground cover to complement the character of the building and the vicinity. The design team includes Ridge Landscape Architecture, Michael Baker International civil engineers, Wiseman+Rohy structural engineers, and Syska Hennessy Group providing mechanical, plumbing and electrical engineering.
