Saul Glickman, left, and his wife, Shirley Glickman, write postcards at the Seacrest Village senior living facility to elected officials regarding the immigration ban on Feb. 7.
Seacrest seniors make their voices heard at postcard-writing event BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY fter decades of facing racism themselves for their Jewish beliefs, Saul Glickman and his wife Shirley Glickman said they were frustrated when they learned about the immigration ban against Muslims. The 84-year-old husband — who grew up in a predominantly Jewish part of Brooklyn — shared memories of being one of a few Jewish men in the Airforce in the 1950s, while his wife told a story of being called a “Christ killer” as a child by some of her classmates. The couple, who live at the Seacrest Village senior living facility, said the immigration ban seemed all too familiar, but they believe it has no place in the United States. They were two of about 25 older folks who voiced their opinions by writing postcards to elected officials in Washington, D.C. on Feb. 7. “Being a Jew, you’re always going to be detested by a rather large portion of people,” said Shirley Glickman, 81. “The only place I’ve ever felt totally safe was in Israel. ... This [Women’s March] movement is so thought-provoking, and I’m so angry. We don’t have another 20 years. If we stand back and let our judiciary system get screwed up, that wouldn’t be right.”

The postcard-writing event was a follow-up to the Women’s March on Jan. 21 in which thousands of people across the country showed their support for issues such as respect for women, access to health care, reproductive rights, race and gender equality, and immigrants’ rights. About 50 residents at Seacrest also participated in the march in their own way by making laps around the center while carrying signs. “What was so marvelous is we had them free-stand walking, some on crutches, a lot of walkers and a couple wheelchairs,” said Dee Rudolph, an 86-year-old Seacrest resident who spearheaded the event. “Every stage that was possible to move was there.” Joshua Sherman, communications and creative manager for the Leichtag Foundation, who participated in the Women’s March in Washington, said he was so inspired by the march at Seacrest SEE POSTCARDS, A17

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY After a wide-ranging discussion Feb. 1 regarding where the city should go with its pending Housing Element, the city council and residents met once again at a special meeting Feb. 6 to go over its options in moving forward with a plan. The council voted unanimously to create a Housing Element task force — consisting of Mayor Catherine Blakespear, Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz, former Planning Commissioner Kurt Groseclose and No on T spokesperson Bruce Ehlers — to discuss the plan moving forward. The group will also give periodic updates to the Planning Commission. The idea of maximizing accessory units and a housing task force were the most recommended methods among the discussed options to help the city create its state-mandated Housing Element after its last initiative — Measure T — failed in the November election. 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. Mayor Catherine Blakespear, a lawyer, has said the zoning plan update — which has been opposed by members of the community — is necessary to comply with state law and avoid lawsuits.The city, which currently has about 25,000 housing units total, is already facing two lawsuits — one from the Building Industry Association and another from a local developer.

CCA students march to protest Trump immigration policies BY JOE TASH Students at Canyon Crest Academy peacefully protested President Donald Trump’s immigration policies during lunchtime on campus on Thursday, Feb. 2, carrying signs and marching silently through common areas at the school. Between 100 and 150 students took part in the march, said Safi Jafri, 16, a junior at CCA who organized the event, using social media to promote it to his friends on campus. School officials made sure that marchers followed education code guidelines, which they communicated to Jafri and his fellow students, and said afterward that the event went
smoothly. “The student-led free speech activity was calm, quiet, and respectful. They followed our expectations and their actions were consistent with the law. There were no issues of any concern between this group of students and other students,” said CCA Principal Brett Killeen in an e-mail. Members of the media were not allowed on campus to observe the march, but afterward, about 20 students, all juniors and seniors, came out to the sidewalk in front of the school, carrying their signs and speaking to reporters.

Encinitas student, detained 23 hours at LAX and then deported, returns to U.S. BY KATE MATHER Sahar Muranovic’s hands trembled as she waited for her sister. The 27-year-old scanned the crowd Sunday morning, Feb. 5, at Los Angeles International Airport, hoping that her family’s anxious, weeklong ordeal — which began when her older sister was detained, then deported — would soon come to an end. Television cameras crowded around Muranovic. Her sister’s friend fiddled with Facebook Live, ready to broadcast the reunion to friends and family scattered across the globe. Muranovic stood silently as she clutched a bouquet of flowers. “Oh my God,” she said suddenly, her hand covering her mouth. “Is that her?” Muranovic ran down the terminal, wrapping her sister in a hug. Eight days after she was barred from entering the U.S. and forced back to Vienna, Sara Yarjani had returned. Yarjani, an Iranian graduate student, was among those caught in a confusing legal limbo after President Trump signed an executive order temporarily banning people from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the U.S. He signed the order Jan. 27, about seven hours before Yarjani landed in Los Angeles on a flight from Oslo. Yarjani — who arrived with a valid
two-year student visa — was detained for 23 hours as her family frantically sought help from the American Civil Liberties Union and attorneys stationed at the airport. Calls and emails to customs officers got nowhere, even after a federal judge in New York issued a stay on deportations of those detained. Armed customs agents ultimately escorted Yarjani to a plane bound for Vienna, where she had been visiting family. The days since have become a legal flurry, as attorneys across the country petitioned various federal judges to intervene. Perhaps the most significant ruling came Friday, Feb. 3, when Judge James L. Robart issued a temporary restraining order against Trump’s travel ban, effective nationwide. As soon as the ruling came down, Muranovic said, her phone began buzzing with messages. “Have you seen this?” friends wrote. “Get her on a flight right now.” Yarjani’s family scrambled to find her a flight back, her sister said, worried that the window that was temporarily opened by the judge’s order would soon be shut. Yarjani, 35, came to the U.S. in September 2015 to study holistic health at the California Institute for Human Science in Encinitas. Although her family is Iranian, Yarjani said in an interview last SEE DEPORTED, A18
Encinitas cracks down on vacation rentals BY JARED WHITLOCK Several hundred Encinitas homeowners have been targeted by a city crackdown on unregistered vacation rentals that are advertised on websites like Airbnb. In the last three months, the city has sent letters to 305 homeowners stating that an ordinance passed in 2006 requires a permit and tax payment on short-term rentals, which are private homes rented for 30 consecutive days or less. Roughly 165 letters are still to be mailed. Encinitas officials said a high number of unregistered vacation rentals prompted the enforcement push. According to a city analysis last year, only about one-fourth of the 688 short-term rentals in Encinitas that are listed on various home-sharing websites had city permits. Lance Hetherington, a property owner who received a letter, said he didn’t realize he’s required under city law to pay a 10 percent tax on rental revenue and obtain a permit that costs $140 annually. “I wasn’t up to speed on permitting, but I am now,” Hetherington said. The two-bedroom house he’s rented to travelers for roughly the past year is on the same lot as his small home. Hetherington, who was unemployed for three years, said he listed it through HomeAway.com to help pay the bills. When it isn’t booked, it’s a place friends and family can stay, he said. The city’s letter gives homeowners 14 days to apply for a permit and start paying taxes — or cease renting and advertising their short-term vacation rental. Hetherington plans on pursuing the former option, even though he’s not exactly thrilled by the 10 percent tax, part of which
is earmarked for beach replenishment projects. “I’m OK with paying taxes to the city. I see why it’s necessary. I just think they’re a little high,” he said, adding that he’ll either have to raise rates or absorb the loss. The city passed its short-term rental ordinance more than a decade ago — well before the boom in online rental websites — due to complaints over rowdy out-of-towners. The ordinance was enforced on a complaint basis until last year when the city hired a temporary employee to track unregistered rentals. Mayor Catherine Blakespear said enforcing the ordinance is important for the sake of neighborhoods. A key component of the law, she said, is a requirement that landlords display a sign outside their home with a name and telephone number in case of any problems. “Systems work best when neighbors are able to communicate with each other directly, follow the rules in place, and not involve city code enforcement,” Blakespear said. Coastal cities like Encinitas — described on websites such as Airbnb and VRBO.com as a charming seaside community, close to golden beaches and good surf — have seen vacation rentals explode in popularity over the past several years. Del Mar and several other cities are still wrestling with how to regulate rentals, some of which have been operating for decades. Some residents argue the rentals result in a revolving door of strangers with little regard for neighborhoods. Others say they’re an important source of income for owners and SEE RENTALS, A18

‘Not the Last Butterfly’ inspires hope at SD Jewish Film Festival Feb. 12 BY KAREN BILLING For 11 years, local artist Cheryl Rattner Price has been sharing a glimpse of hope, a lesson for life and giving voice back to the anonymous child through The Butterfly Project, an effort to create 1.5 million ceramic, painted butterflies to represent the 1.5 million children killed in the Holocaust. Now a film documenting the project’s inspiring mission is taking flight. “Not the Last Butterfly” will be screened at the San Diego Jewish Film Festival on Sunday, Feb. 12 at 10:30 a.m. at Edwards San Marcos Stadium 18 and at 1:30 p.m. at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla. Each screening will include the opportunity after the film to paint a butterfly that will be featured in an art installation at Jewish Family Service’s Joan & Irwin Jacobs Campus. Student tickets for the film are free courtesy of the Lipinksy Family Foundation. Rattner Price co-directed and co-executive produced the documentary with Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker Joe Fab. Rattner Price and Jan Landau started The Butterfly Project in 2006 at the San Diego Jewish Academy. Landau had been inspired by the Holocaust poem “The Butterfly.” After the war, the butterfly became a symbol of hope for survivors, that there can be renewed life, there can be a transformation. Landau had also been inspired by a documentary film called “Paper Clips,” about a Holocaust memorial created in
COURTESY
Terezin survivor Ela Weissberger and filmmaker and co-founder of The Butterfly Project Cheryl Rattner Price. Tennessee where students committed to collecting one paper clip for each of the six million people who perished during the Holocaust, writing letters to ask for paper clips and getting an entire community involved. They ended up receiving paper clips from all over the world, filling a rail car with 11 million paperclips representing the six million Jews and 5 million gypsies,
homosexuals and other victims of the Holocaust. The car stands as a permanent memorial in their schoolyard. Rattner Price, a ceramics artist, was SDJA’s artist-in-residence at the time when Landau approached her about doing the project. The lesson of The Butterfly Project is not scary and doesn’t shut kids down in the “awful” way that Rattner Price said her
generation was taught about the Holocaust. The project created a way to teach children about the history of the past in a way that let’s them feel hope. “I fell in love with the process of helping other people to learn about this topic and expressing something personal,” Rattner Price said. “You’re breaking children’s hearts when you share this story with them, they feel powerless and sad. The idea is to make a butterfly and join with others who have learned that through their voice they can make a difference and stand up when somebody else is being hurtful. “It makes us so motivated. It’s so important. We need to help our young generation to know everything they can about history and learn when we come together around a common idea we can not only honor and tribute but change lives.” Rattner Price calls herself an “obsessive photographer” and since 2006 has documented every step of The Butterfly Project through photos and video — from the installation at SDJA using boxes of ceramic butterflies received from all over the country and world, how they have spread the project to schoolchildren throughout the country and beyond, overseeing art installations in other communities. “All of these cities did amazing, gorgeous installations and I felt responsible to share those stories. As a mosaic artist, I collect bits and pieces and keep everything and that’s how I started making this film,” Rattner SEE BUTTERFLIES, A18

Encinitas baker tastes sweet victory on ‘Cake Wars’ BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Twelve years ago when she started baking, Monika Stout just wanted to impress her children with homemade birthday cakes. But last summer, the Encinitas woman impressed people who most would consider harder to please — the judges of Cake Wars. Stout, 53, won her episode of the Food Network reality competition television show last July. The episode aired last month. Keeping quiet about the win — and its $10,000 prize — was a challenge, she said. “Some people knew we had been on the show, so they wanted us to tell them what happened,” Stout said recently in her kitchen as she prepared a chocolate mocha cake. “We couldn’t tell them. I would tell them we made it past the first round.” The episode started out with four bakers and their assistants. Some bakers were eliminated after the first “Batter Up” round, in which they were asked to create a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cake with pizza ingredients. Stout and her assistant, Louise Pass, decided to sculpt Michelangelo popping out of a pipe. The cake, which took an hour-and-15-minutes to complete, was made with tomato spice and Mascarpone frosting with a caramel drizzle and candied pepperonis with cayenne pepper. Then came the big cake, which was Stout’s goal to create all along. (She said her victory was a nice extra accomplishment.) The winning confection was a chocolate mocha cake with candied pecans and butter cream with a butterscotch drizzle. The

About five winning Cake Wars creations will be on display at the San Diego Cake Show, which Stout and Pass both sit on the board for at the San Diego Cake Club. The public event will take place March 18 and 19
at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Tickets are available now at sandiegocakeshow.com. Stout, who has never gone to a formal culinary school, said she is hoping to use her earnings from the show toward a trip to Ireland later this year with her husband. Stout, a graphic designer who has been baking since she was 40 and took classes at
La Costa Canyon High School, said the hobby was an instant love for her. “The minute I started doing it, I was like, ‘Oh, yeah. This is what I was meant to do,’” she said. She has since taken classes all over the country and also teaches decorating classes in her home kitchen — which is a certified cottage food operation — and at Standlee’s Cake & Party Shop in Chula Vista. Stout said she enjoys baking because of how calming it can be and how exact the recipes are. She’s not as fond of cooking. Croissants are an ideal treat to create when she is stressed out, she added. “Everything has to be precise and perfect for croissants to work out,” she said. “For me, that’s like zen.” While the baking originally started out as something for Stout’s children, her now 20-year-old son’s and 24-year-old daughter’s sugar cravings have died a bit. “They’re over it,” Stout said, laughing, adding that the kitchen counters and their cabinet space are usually filled with homemade desserts. Still, she’s got her own sweet tooth to please, anyway. “I like chocolate,” she said with a smile as she stirred a generous amount of cocoa powder into her mixture. “I’m like any woman.” She said she spends about 15 hours a week baking. Reservations can be made four-to-six weeks in advance on her website, trulyscrumptiouscakes.com or by calling her at 760-803-0869.

Danny Danon, Israel's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, speaks to high school students at San Diego Jewish Academy on Jan. 31.
Israeli Ambassador offers advice to San Diego Jewish students BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Danny Danon, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations, offered words of support and advice to students at San Diego Jewish Academy in Carmel Valley on Jan. 31. Danon, who was in town for another speaking engagement, was invited to speak to students from San Diego Jewish Academy, Torah High and Southern California Yeshiva High School, said San Diego Jewish Academy Head of School Chaim Heller. The Ambassador referred to Israel as “the only free country in the Middle East,” and encouraged the students to take pride in their heritage. “Be proud to come from this country,” Danon said in front of hundreds of students. “We should minimize the damage of this change of resolution and start to do a real dialogue.” Students asked Danon questions about the state of the U.N., and he responded by saying he would like to see the U.N. be more effective. According to the New York Times, President Donald Trump has been looking at
ways to change the United States’ commitment to the U.N., including the possibility of ending funding for any U.N. agency that engages in certain activity. The criteria for the defunding includes “organizations that give full membership to the Palestinian Authority or Palestine Liberation Organization, or support programs that fund abortion or any activity that circumvents sanctions against Iran or North Korea,” according to the Times. Danon suggested a reform of the U.N. instead. “The U.N. is on high alert because of the new president,” he said. “I spoke with the new American Ambassador yesterday... and I told her we need to reform the U.N. We shouldn’t shut down the U.N. We do need the U.N. but we need to reform the U.N. to make sure the money goes to the right places.” Damon also told students that if they see reporting that they believe is biased, they should write letters to the editor to voice their opinions and “be unafraid to make the SEE ADVICE, A18

Encinitas foundation Participants needed for excessive sweating research study hosts charity cycling event for ALS
La Jolla Cultural Partners
The California Dermatology & Clinical Research Institute in Encinitas is looking for volunteers to be studied in a large national clinical trial of an investigational topical treatment option for hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. Research has found that hyperhidrosis is more prevalent, severe and socially debilitating than previously reported, according to a news release from the institute. Additionally, nearly 5 percent of people in Encinitas live with severe excessive sweating, and 75 percent of those with excessive sweating say the
condition has negative impacts on their lives, according to the institute. “This new research shows that the number of people living with debilitating excessive sweating is nearly double previous estimates,” said Dr. Stacy R. Smith, with California Dermatology & Clinical Research Institute, Encinitas. “There is a clear and pressing need for more treatment options to give these people relief.” The International Hyperhidrosis Society, a global nonprofit, encourages those suffering from hyperhidrosis to consider
participating in this excessive sweating research. “We are calling on our millions of brave and powerful hyperhidrosis sufferers to help further the treatment development desperately needed,” says International Hyperhidrosis Society Executive Director and Co-Founder, Lisa J Pieretti. Potential study participants must be at least 18 years old and experience excessive underarm sweating. For more information, call 866-72-SWEAT or visit sweathelp.org/enroll.

Billy Crystal talks La Jolla Playhouse, Oscars, comedy, (#$@*!) cellphones BY GEORGE VARGA Billy Crystal is surely not the only comedy legend who earned his first big laugh as an elementary school student, but he may be the only one who credits his initial success to being clumsy in the cafeteria line. “I had my food on my tray,” he recalled. “I tripped, by accident, and dropped the tray — and everybody laughed. The next day I came in and dropped it again! And here I am, 60 years later, still dropping trays.” What Crystal is not noted for dropping are f-bombs, whether it’s in his interviews, his books, his Broadway hit, “700 Sundays” (which got its start at the La Jolla Playhouse in 2004), or in his classic comedy movies, which include “When Harry Met Sally,” “City Slickers” and “Analyze This.” But the veteran star made a four-letter exception during a recent 30-minute phone conversation previewing his Feb. 16 solo show, “Spend the Night with Billy Crystal,” at Jacobs Music Center’s Copley Symphony Hall. His uncharacteristic expletive came during a discussion of cellphone use at concerts, plays and other live arts events. It’s an increasingly ubiquitous phenomenon that prompts the otherwise affable star to seethe with frustration and anger. “You have no idea how disconcerting and insulting it is that somebody is so short-minded as to be texting, or checking their messages, while you’re talking on stage,” Crystal said. “It’s awful, especially in theaters. “I was performing on Broadway and someone in the second row, a woman, was on her phone — constantly — as soon as I came out. I started playing the whole show to her, saying: ‘Get the f--- off of your phone!’ ” “Pardon me,” Crystal said to his interviewer, who required no apology for the justifiable epithet. “Then I could see her mouth go, to whomever she was talking to: ‘I have to go; he’s looking at me’.” Crystal let out a loud sigh of exasperation. “Men will put their phones in their shirt pockets, and it lights up and looks like E.T.,” he lamented. “And, on stage, you hear it ring and are interrupted by it. Using cellphones is one of the worst traits about audiences and it’s like it’s accepted now. “One of the things I hate about performing is the disrespect people have. So I hope people will be more responsible. We work very hard with the ushers in the theaters I perform in to make sure people don’t use their phones.”

Billy Crystal is no stranger to San Diego — his autobiographical Broadway hit ‘700 Sundays’ got its start at La Jolla Playhouse in 2004. Why audience members pay good money for their tickets, only to rudely blather on phones or text and check emails during performances, remains a mystery. Not so, the solution, which has less to do with policing by ushers than with common sense and respect from attendees. “It’s up to people to turn their phones off,” Crystal agreed. “This need they have to be in touch with (other) people all the time is really sad to me. I get it if you are a doctor who’s on call. But, otherwise, if you’re coming to a show, aren’t you coming to get away from all that?” Here are highlights from our far-ranging interview with Crystal, who discussed … The La Jolla Playhouse: “My experience in La Jolla was such a great one. When we work-shopped ‘700 Sundays’ there in 2004 with Des MacAnuff, who would later direct the show, it was a turning point in my life. I think we did 14 or 15 shows there, and — five months later — we were on Broadway. It was so fast! And it was incredible to work with such talented people as the ones in La Jolla. It gave me the SEE CRYSTAL, A16

Rooms at Surfhouse are named after local surf spots.
Brothers Nikki Harth, left, and Sander Harth are opening Surfhouse, a boutique motel in Leucadia, to show visitors the area’s surf lifestyle.
Brothers show their love for Leucadia through new boutique motel Surfhouse BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Brothers Nikki Harth and Sander Harth have taken their love for Leucadia and created a place where visitors can enjoy the area’s essence. The San Dieguito Academy graduates are opening a boutique motel, called Surfhouse, in the heart of Leucadia at 960 N. Coast Highway 101. “Sander and I were born and raised in Leucadia, just up the street,” said Nikki Harth, 26. “We just wanted to reinvest in this little area, because this is where our heart and soul is. [The building] came on the market and was just kind of perfect.” Still, the eight-room building — which the Harths found for sale in late 2015 — needed a lot
of work. The interior, including electrical work and plumbing, had to be redone. And the exterior had to be re-stuccoed. But for the brothers who grew up surfing at Beacon’s Beach a few blocks away, the location was ideal. An open house event will be held Feb. 11 from 2 to 5 p.m. so people can get a sneak-peek at the rooms before they are available for booking, which could be as early as Feb. 15, the brothers said. Fish 101 will grill up fish tacos and make poke bowls at the event. Attendees are encouraged to make donations there toward the Leucadia Main Street Association. The Harths said they would

Only 100 tickets will be offered for this opportunity drawing. Attendance at the gala is not required to bid on packages in the online auction. Canyon Crest Academy Foundation offered a similar opportunity drawing last year and the winners took Broadway by storm. Tina Blumenfeld, the winner, shared the following review of this once-in-a- lifetime
experience. “We had a wonderful dinner at a beautiful four-star theater district restaurant with Hamilton cast members Thayne Jasperson and David Guzman. They shared all their wonderful memories from being in the original cast of Hamilton since day one, including backstage stories. The show was every bit as amazing as the hype, and lived up to its reputation of being the most exciting thing on Broadway in decades.” Tony-nominated performer Susan Egan, the original Belle in Broadway’s Beauty and the Beast singing with 50 of CCA’s most talented students and alumni. The Rendezvous in Paris gala will be held on Feb. 25 at Canyon Crest Academy and will include dinner, a live auction, and an amazing show. More information can be found at ccagala.com.
The Grauer School’s theatre students to present play ‘The Man Who Came to Dinner’ The Grauer School’s Theatre Department will present the play The Man Who Came to Dinner by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman on the following dates: Thursday, Feb. 9; Friday, Feb. 10; and Saturday, Feb. 11. The performances are open to the public, and they will be held on The Grauer School’s campus, located at 1500 S. El Camino Real in Encinitas. Performance times will be at 7 p.m., and tickets can be purchased at the door for $7 per person. The Man Who Came to Dinner is a brilliantly witty play that is one of the most beloved comedies of the American theatre. This is the 6th annual play presented by The Grauer School’s Theatre Department and director Erin Langen, Theatre Arts Program Director. Langen draws on her own acting experience and theatre background to direct students in the annual play and Theatre Café Night performances during the school year. This play features a large cast of 20 Grauer students, half of whom are newcomers to acting.
COURTESY
The Grauer School students and actors Sierra Pia and Luke Ruggiero. Langen remarked, “Grauer programs are inclusive, so all of our students have access to them. The theatre world is an open and welcoming community, and it’s important to me that Grauer’s theatre program reflect
that. The theatre program is at a college preparatory level and each actor is required to fully develop their characterization, so one of my most meaningful tasks as the director is to encourage the students and guide them with techniques to help them be focused and professional.” The Man Who Came to Dinner is set in the small town of Mesalia, Ohio, in the weeks leading to Christmas in the late 1930s. The story is centered around the character of Sheridan Whiteside, a radio celebrity who comes to town and injures himself so he is forced to spend a month in Mesalia. Grauer senior Luke Ruggiero, who plays Whiteside, is an experienced actor who has performed in many local youth theatre shows and Grauer plays, most recently starring as Seymour in San Diego Junior Theatre’s production of Little Shop of Horrors and starring as George in Grauer’s production of Our Town last year.

Donors urgently needed to increase Red Cross blood supply The American Red Cross urgently needs blood donors to make an appointment to give this winter so that patients can continue to receive lifesaving treatments. Michael Harper knows how critical it is to have a readily available blood supply. “I used over 300 units of blood when I was younger after an auto accident. Blood donations helped save my life,” he said. “Now, I would like to donate as much or more than I have received.” Blood donations are urgently needed now and throughout the winter to
maintain a sufficient blood supply for patients in need. A blood drive will be held at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas on Feb. 20, from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m., 354 Santa Fe Drive. To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). All those who come to donate from Jan. 30 to Feb. 26, 2017, are eligible to receive a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card via email for making blood and platelet donation a priority this winter.

OUR READERS WRITE Yes, there is global warming
protect them.
In response to Robert Westcott’s uninformed letter last week, global warming is a fact that can no longer be disputed. The average temperature of the earth has increased over the past 50 years at the fastest rate in recorded history. That fact is well documented and 97 percent of scientists agree. Carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gasses collect in the atmosphere and are trapped. CO2 in too high concentrations is a pollutant. Trees and plants are being destroyed, which adds to the problem. Burning fossil fuels to make electricity is the largest source of heat-trapping pollution, producing about two billion tons of CO2 every year. That is much more than needed by plants. Our electric car is powered by the solar panels on our roof. We all need to focus on renewable energy sources. I applaud the city of Encinitas for working on a climate action plan. Valerie Chereskin Encinitas
Climate action plan is necessary
Mom and Pop shops being forced out It’s such a shame that rents are getting crazy expensive in downtown Encinitas and cool Mom and Pop shops are being forced out. Last week another long-established retail shop Gardenology, in business for 14 years, closed after their lease was up. I heard the new lease was going up to $16,000 a month, which is just crazy. On my morning run loop through town I noticed another permit application in the window for a beer tasting room in a vacant shop next to Ironsmith coffee. This store front was unable to rent for over 15 months due to, I’m sure, the high rent. It appears that beer and wine establishments are the only businesses that can afford the skyrocketing rents in downtown Encinitas and retail businesses are being forced out when their leases are up. We already have Culture Beer tasting room opening soon in downtown Encinitas. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good IPA beer but it’s just sad that we are losing some great retail places to too many alcohol- serving establishments and coffee houses. Isn’t it about time that the city of Encinitas puts a halt to one more beer bar permit? It is the Mom and Pop stores that make Encinitas a great place to live and the city and government should be doing something to

The Encinitas Advocate on Jan 13 mentioned that the city has a “climate action plan program administrator” and, in the Feb 3. edition, Robert Westcott, of Encinitas, wrote “There is no global warming” and, therefore, a climate action plan is not required. Well, I disagree. On Sept. 20, 2016, 376 members of the National Academy of Sciences, including 30 Nobel laureates, published an open letter to draw attention to the serious risks of climate change. It stated, in part, “Human-caused climate change is not a belief, a hoax, or a conspiracy. It is a physical reality. Fossil fuels powered the Industrial Revolution. But the burning of oil, coal, and gas also caused most of the historical increase in atmospheric levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases. This increase in greenhouse gases is changing Earth’s climate.” As a science teacher with multiple degrees, I have seen many instances where a person is either misinformed or simply never studied the body of data on a theory and, as a result, forms an invalid conclusion. A true scientist or layperson, who follows the scientific method, is always skeptical and looks at all the data. They don’t base their conclusions on the most “convenient data,” like a YouTube channel and, sorry Mr. Westcott, there is a massive body of data that supports anthropogenic global warming. Your solution is to simply label all the studies that you don’t agree with as “fake data.” Stick your head in the sand, it is your choice. I drive a plug-in hybrid electric car and I am hoping some day that all of our cars and homes will be powered by solar. Thank you Crystal Najera for your work as the Encinitas Climate Action Plan Program administrator and thank you for promoting electric vehicles and solar power. Jack Ross Encinitas
Schools should be made safe for all On Jan. 20, during a Torrey Pines/Canyon Crest Academy basketball game, a group of students began chanting “Build that Wall.”
EVENT BRIEF
Correction/clarification A Feb. 3 article called “Housing Element stokes debate” incorrectly spelled Victoria Balentine’s name as Victoria Balentino. Also, she worked for the Newport Beach-based Community Development Partners, an affordable housing developer.
When I heard about this, I contacted the school administrators, who confirmed the incident occurred. As this was the second time a San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) athletic event featured a group of students chanting “Build that Wall,” I also asked the administration to send out a public notice indicating they were aware of the incident and reaffirming the district’s commitment to a safe and supportive school environment for all students. Unfortunately, school administrators chose to remain silent. And not only silent, but somewhat disingenuous. When Marsha Sutton wrote her article after the election titled “Stop the Hate,” she indicated she had asked school administrators if there were any issues that had occurred on any of the SDUHSD school campuses involving harassment or hate speech. She was told that there were none. This despite the fact that at the last board meeting it was acknowledged that before the election the administration was aware of an incident at a Torrey Pines football game in which students also chanted “Build that wall.” Fast forward to Feb. 2 when students at Canyon Crest Academy coordinated an event on campus protesting the President’s travel ban. Parents were aware of the event before it even happened. How and why? Because the principal at CCA sent out an e-mail to the parents notifying them of the “peaceful, silent march” – and those are his words, not mine. Furthermore, in addition to notifying parents, he assured us that he had “met with the students involved and discussed appropriate parameters” for their activity. This doesn’t make sense to me. A peaceful event supporting a safe, supportive, and inclusive school environment regardless of ethnicity mandates an email in advance warning parents? And even offering students who might be offended by the protest an alternate location to eat lunch? But chant “Build that wall” – there is no email, no notification, no affirmation that SDUHSD schools are safe for all, and no public acknowledgment of the event or that administration even met with the students who yelled this form of hateful speech. But, apparently (and for which they want us to be thankful), our administration is concerned enough about our children that when a peaceful event occurs, they make sure to talk to the students involved ahead of time and warn the parents via e-mail. It appears that if they are truly concerned about making schools safe they are doing so only for some -- but not for all. Rajy Abulhosn Carmel Valley

CLASSIFIEDS FROM TEEN DRUG USE, A2 In another case, three students who ate gummy bears, possibly laced with the hallucinogenic drug LSD, which they got at a party, also ended up at a local hospital emergency room. While all of the students recovered, the incidents did raise concerns, the officers said. “We don’t want people to feel panicked,” said Albers. “But we have to be careful not to live in a bubble and think these problems can’t impact us here. That’s our big challenge.” The officers urge parents to pay attention to their teens and be aware of changes in behavior that could signal a problem. Those include changes of dress or in their friends, or increasing isolation. Angry outbursts or a sudden drop in grades could also be indicators of a problem, they said. One way to keep tabs on what is happening with youths is to monitor their social media use. “You need to be intimately aware of your child’s social media,” said Albers. “They can so quickly end up in something way over their head. Often, the first contact police have with a minor comes over something less serious, such as a curfew or truancy violation. In those cases, and
FROM CRYSTAL, A9 confidence to be funny and touching.” His “Spend the Night with Billy Crystal” tour: “We call it that because people feel like they are at the dinner table with me. It’s that personal to them, and that relaxed, and that’s what I love about it. I’m on my feet 90 percent of the time, telling stories and recollections, showing film clips. It’s a very fun night of re-living memories.” Drawing from current events in his show: “You know, I don’t do much of that, though it’s hard not to now. These other comics out there say something, and somebody boos or yells. There’s so much anger out there. I’ll talk about current events in a certain way, but it’s not my focus. What’s funny today won’t be funny tomorrow. … It’s a very confusing time and a very edgy time now. Somehow, it doesn’t feel like this is our country — it will take some time for things to settle.” His breakthrough role on the TV series “Soap”: “I never thought about it as ‘This will make me famous.’ I thought: ‘This is a really daring show, and if we can do it right, it could be important.’ It wasn’t about what it would do for me, but what I could do for this character. I thought that, if we could play it right, we could do something that hadn’t been done before (a gay character in a sitcom) on TV. I hadn’t seen it in so many years and recently found some DVDs of ‘Soap.’ I watched it, and thought: ‘You know what? This was on 40 years ago!’ I was really proud about it.” Craving the spotlight from a young age: “I needed that attention.
www.encinitasadvocate.com also when drugs are involved, students can be placed in a diversion program, in which they attend classes, do community service or other tasks, which allow them to avoid prosecution and a record with the juvenile justice system. “We want to help kids make appropriate choices so as not to affect their future,” said Albers. When teens get involved in more serious drug use or violence, prosecution is also a possibility. “We always want to work with the carrot first, but there are times when the stick comes into play,” Briggs said. Joe Olesky, who has run an alcohol and drug abuse prevention program for the San Dieguito Union High School District for the past 12 years, said parents must talk to their children, and be aware of what is going on in their lives. “It’s about parents being in the know,” said Olesky. “Parents need to sit their kids down (and tell them) this is a drug-free environment.” Each year, the San Dieguito district sees about 150 to 220 students in its drug prevention program, said Olesky. Most have been caught with drugs or paraphernalia, or found to be under the influence. About 20 percent attend voluntarily or at the behest of their parents.
The program includes classes, community service, journal-writing and follow-up treatment. Parents also are given drug-testing kits and told to have their children use them, Olesky said, and parents must attend weekly meetings. Among the drugs being used by teens today are marijuana, LSD, xanax and opioids, which include prescription pills and heroin, said Olesky. Particularly troubling are highly concentrated extracts of marijuana that are much stronger than the leafy form of the drug. “The biggest thing we have to talk about in the entire country is the opioid epidemic. Heroin, fentanyl and narcotic prescription pills are still very much being used by our kids,” Olesky said. Xanax is a prescription drug used for anxiety or stress relief, and often can be counterfeit, officials said. From the law enforcement perspective, an effective intervention by parents, school officials and the police can prevent relatively minor offenses by teens from spiraling out of control into more serious crimes. “Bad decisions start to compound,” Albers said. “We try to interrupt that compounding effect whenever possible.”
To get out in front of people, it’s one of the places I feel most comfortable. I’m an uncomfortable person in front of small groups. But in front of 200 people, or 2000, I’m comfortable.” His tenure as a middle-school substitute teacher: “When I would come in, I was what they called a ‘per diem floater.’ So I would report every day. If anybody was out, I’d take over any kind of class, even if It was something I wasn’t skilled at, which was everything! But mostly, I’d teach was English and phys ed. I’d take questions from the students and sometimes break in new material. Because I was just starting out in comedy. And if somebody is in a chair, looking at you in a classroom, it’s really no different than in a comedy club.” Doing a Spinal Tap reunion: “Hey, yeah, of course. One last tour! But I want the royalties on the ‘Mime is money’ hats! (Crystal’s character in the 1984 movie, “This is Spinal Tap,” was “Morty, the mime, waiter,” who memorably declared: “Mime is money! Come on, move it!”). Advice for Jimmy Kimmel on hosting the Oscars: “I was talking to Kimmel the other day. He’s very witty and did a really good job on the Emmys. When everybody asks me about hosting the Oscars eight times. I tell them: ‘Just look like you want to be there. Work hard to write good jokes and don’t over-stay your welcome. Just pick your spots and make sure the show moves along.’ The most important thing is having a really good time. And it’s difficult for the audience, because they’re all nervous and uncomfortable. So pick jokes that work.”
Jack Palance doing one-armed push-ups during his 1992 Oscars Best Supporting Actor acceptance speech: “I think it was the greatest set-up for a joke in Oscars history. Plus, I was one who had helped create that part (for Palance) in ‘City Slickers.’ Jack was in the first movie I ever saw as a kid, ‘Shane.’ And here I was in ‘City Slickers,’ acting with him in a role he won an Oscar for doing. It was such a thrill. And that happened to be one of the better shows in the history of the Oscars. Because he did (the push-ups). it gave me a running start for the rest of the show. Did I send him a thank-you card? Um, no — he already had the Oscar!” His creative impetus: “I haven’t stopped working since high school; I really haven’t stopped. I love to tell stories. I love to create things from out of the blue, and create new people, characters, stories, movies. Whatever they end up becoming is just an extension of the stories you tell from the time you’re a little kid. I was always imitating my relatives. … I was always interested in creating someone else and becoming someone else.” Retirement: “I never even use the word. I got to know (comedy pioneer) George Burns pretty well. I was with him in Las Vegas when he was 95, and I watched him do an hour and a half performance. Afterward, I asked him: ‘Will you ever retire?’ And he said: ‘To what? What would I do?’ ” ■ IF YOU GO: “Spend the Night with Billy Crystal,” 8 p.m. Feb. 16.

www.encinitasadvocate.com FROM HOUSING, A1 Encinitas,” encouraged the city council to look at the potential of accessory units for low-income housing. He said the city needs to work more closely with Housing and Community Development [HCD] to develop a state-compliant plan that is acceptable to residents. “Because the housing problem is getting worse instead of better, HCD should be asked to consider allowing Encinitas to conduct a supply side study to try to determine if, over time, an excess supply of market rental rate accessory units will naturally produce the desired low-income rents needed without the current onerous covenants, restrictions and reporting requirements,” Bonde said. Eileen Troberman, a 65-year-old business owner in Encinitas who has lived in the city since 1987, said she has lived in an accessory unit for the last 18 years and could not afford current rents otherwise in the city.
ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - FEBRUARY 10, 2017 - PAGE A17
Blakespear, who has said she would like to get a plan back to the community within a year, said Feb. 6 she would love to see accessory units be at least part of the solution. However, she said, the city would need to look into how and if they could be pursued. Council member Tasha Boerner Horvath, who said there are accessory units in her neighborhood, added the city may have to trade off parking for accessory units. “I think the problem of accessory units and parking is something we all need to face together,” she said. “A lot of the units will have more than one accessory unit, and that’s something we should consider. ... We have to grapple with that as a community.” She also said the city should look at the potential of using in-lieu developer fees to help fund affordable housing, as well as look at reducing the average unit size to discourage the luxury condominiums that are often looked down upon.
FROM POSTCARDS, A1 that he reached out to Rudolph and local activist Denny Cope to create the postcard-writing event. Cope, who has called local representatives regularly over the last few weeks and visited Seacrest for the postcard-writing event, said she loved that the fight has been multi-generational. Rudolph said the residents marched and are
The city could also look at the potential of “tiny homes,” Boerner Horvath said, but such developments might pose similar parking problems as accessory units. She considered working on the Housing Element “one of the most important things [the council is] going to do for the community.” Boerner Horvath said the task force should work to come up with a plan that is less complex than Measure T, better communicated and includes interactive parcel maps. Council member Mark Muir said it was important that representatives from all five communities and of different age groups were involved in the task force. “At the end of the day, you have to have a completed project because you have to sell it to the community,” he said. “In the end, I think we’ll all have something we can agree on. ... I think we have the talent within the city to put together a good task force to come together for something we’ll all love.”
writing letters to politicians for younger generations. Her message to the elected officials was simple: “We just want them to keep on, keep on, keep on.” Shirley Glickman said she marched in solidarity with her daughters and granddaughters, who participated in protests in New York. Agnes Herman said she was writing for human rights and freedom.

Sclerotherapy is an injection of the chemical sclerosant directly into a varicose vein in order to damage the inside lining of the vein. The subsequent scarring causes the vein to close. After the injection, pressure is applied over the veins in order to prevent the blood from returning once you stand up. Repeated sessions are sometimes necessary, depending on the extent of the varicose veins. Once the procedure is over, there are some common tips for post-treatment recovery. All doctors and therapists will recommend that patients wear compression stockings after sclerotherapy treatment. Some will recommend that patients wear them for several days, while others will extend the recovery time with compression stockings to several weeks. Compression stockings help maintain pressure throughout the legs
(and veins), promoting healthy circulation and reducing the bruising. It is always best to follow the recommended time frame for wearing compression stockings after treatment. Bruising around the injection site or sites is common among sclerotherapy patients, and the appearance of bruises can last up to two weeks—the bruising period is almost always longer for patients who are on blood thinners. But just as every patient is different, so are the healing times. A small bruise, post-treatment, for a couple of weeks is nothing to worry about. If the bruise increases in size and deepens in color more than a few days or a week after treatment, or an abscess appears around the injection site, go immediately to the hospital, as you may have an underlying condition that causes such a rare reaction. To be extra cautious, some doctors and vein treatment centers recommend avoiding any over-the-counter medications that act

as anti-coagulants or blood thinners, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and even omega 3s. While there is no “down time” required after sclerotherapy treatment, it is good to avoid any strenuous activity or exercise. That being said, regular low-impact exercise, especially walking, is encouraged by most doctors and vein treatment centers beginning immediately after treatment. It will be important to report to your doctor any slow or lack of healing, either at the injection site or any localized clotting. There may be some discoloration of the skin at the injection site, but this is generally nothing to worry about and can be corrected with topical creams or even laser therapy. Remember, there are plenty of fake remedies out in the world, which are a waste of money and could delay potentially crucial treatment. Varicose veins are a medical condition and could be a symptom of a much bigger vascular problem, and they are a condition best treated early on.

FROM RENTALS, A3 also boost the local economy. Blakespear said while she periodically hears concerns about short-term vacation rentals in Encinitas, the city hasn’t discussed strengthening its rules. “It doesn’t seem like we’ve reached a fever pitch around this issue, and I do think that it’s because we’ve had an ordinance in place for some time,” she said. Since beginning proactive enforcement on Oct. 24, Encinitas hasn’t issued any fines, which start at $250 and reach $1,000 upon fourth and subsequent violations. “Once we go through this initial effort, I think there wouldn’t be as much leniency, because people should be on notice now,” said City Finance Director Tim Nash. The unlicensed rentals were identified after a temporary city
employee — armed with the online listings — determined the general area of each rental and then matched the online photos to images on Google Street View. Those pictures are included with the letters. Helen Jones said she was surprised to receive a letter because her property hasn’t been offered as a short-term rental since the summer of 2015. Still, she said, she complied with the tax and permit requirements. She also sent a response to the city clarifying that, though her listing was still online, it was done only as a matter of convenience, in case she decides to one day rent it out again. “Just to make sure I’m OK with the city, I’ll take the listing down,” she said. Nash said most of the homeowners he’s spoken with so far said they simply weren’t aware of the city’s ordinance. Others — like Jones — have sent responses saying their units
FROM BUTTERFLIES, A4 Price said, noting one particularly moving experience filming butterflies installed at a school in Warsaw, Poland. “As an artist I got in way over my head, not realizing how difficult it is to make a documentary film.” She had over 200 hours of footage when she connected with Joe Fab, the producer, director and writer of “Paper Clips,” which had inspired the whole project. Once Fab came on board, Rattner Price’s documentary tightened up and took shape — it was no longer a scattered mosaic. For the film, they were able to use the story of 86-year-old Holocaust survivor Ela Weissberger. While in the Terezin Concentration Camp in the Czech Republic, Weissberger remembered a teacher, Friedl Dicker-Brandies, who inspired the children to express their pain and deal with the shock and trauma of the camp through secret art projects. Weissberger not only placed a butterfly on the wall at SDJA but the filmmakers were able to take her back to Terezin, where she left a butterfly in memory of her teacher, who helped thousands of children at Terezin before being murdered at Auschwitz. The film was an official selection of the 2016 Virginia Film Festival in November and, in January, the film was shown at a private screening at the U.S. Embassy in
FROM PROTEST, A2 leave campus at lunchtime, school officials said. Safi had printed and distributed T-shirts with the phrase, “1984 = 2017 #THISISHOWITSTARTS,” a nod to George Orwell’s dystopian novel, “1984,” which chronicles a futuristic society where leaders manipulate facts and the truth to control the population. Safi and other students said Trump’s executive order banning entry to the U.S. by anyone from seven Muslim-majority nations, as well as his rhetoric before and after the election, prompted them to speak their mind. After the march, Safi, who is Muslim and the child of parents who emigrated to the U.S. as young children from Pakistan and India, said he has been troubled by both the anti-immigrant rhetoric in recent months, and the new president’s official actions on immigration.
are no longer being rented, and a few were landlords who didn’t realize their long-term tenants were renting to vacationers. The city’s initial attempt to enforce the registration rules hit a snag months ago when the first batch of 40 letters went out — and half went to property owners not hosting vacation rentals. Nash attributed the error to bad data from a consultant that the city ultimately scrapped in favor of the temporary employee. “When we sent out those letters that weren’t accurate, yes there were some folks that were upset. But since then, I would have to say most people understand why we’re doing this,” Nash said. He said the city budgeted $15,000 for the temporary employee, and paid the consultant $4,188 — some of which it might recoup. Whitlock is a freelance writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune.
FROM ADVICE, A7 change.” “These students should be very proud and not listen to what they hear in the media,” Danon said in an interview after his presentation. “They need to take a stand. It was absolutely important that they know that now more than ever.” Heller said he was grateful the Ambassador could inspire the students to be more proactive. “It’s incredibly moving that the Ambassador of the United Nations from Israel would take time out of an incredibly busy schedule to come and meet with students in San Diego who care so deeply about Israel,” he said. “I hope the students know that each of them makes a difference. If you see something that is wrong, you send a letter to the editor, call up a newspaper, call up the television station and become an active participant in this democracy.” Beny Mizrachi, student government president at San Diego Jewish Academy, said he was thankful Danon could speak to the students. “It was really cool to have him speak and get his perspective on the issues that Israel and the world are facing,” the 12th grader said. “It’s a really unique thing that we don’t get often in high school.”
Latvia and a screening at the JCC Manhattan. The film is scheduled to be shown this year at the Palm Beach Jewish Film Festival, a special screening at the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival, and the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library in Kansas. They have also submitted to festivals as far away as Hong Kong and Australia. The Butterfly Project carries on, with the goal to reach more than 60 local schools a year, with an educational team that includes Landau and retired teachers, many of whom have family members who were Holocaust survivors. They will continue to teach this impactful lesson, not only to reach 1.5 precious butterflies made but to transform resistance through art and education and empower people to take action against injustice. As one student says in the film: “I learned that if I don’t do anything, then nothing will change.” “The beauty of this for me as an artist, I feel like I’m continuing Friedl’s legacy,” Rattner Price said. “She wanted to help the children by doing art to help them handle that trauma and have hope for the future. “I’m very lucky. It’s amazing how it has all come together and it’s really exciting what is happening.” Tickets for the film can be purchased at sdjff.org.

FROM DEPORTED, A3 week that she is a permanent resident of Austria and has lived outside Iran for most of the last two decades. She returned to Vienna over winter break to visit her family. The days after Yarjani’s deportation were stressful and scary for her family, her sister said. Muranovic, who lives in Vancouver, Wash., said she hasn’t been able to sleep or eat, unsure whether her sister would be able to return. Muranovic caught an early-morning flight from Portland, Ore., to Los Angeles for her sister’s arrival, “just to make sure she’s OK.” “I’m still nervous,” she said before the flight landed shortly after noon. “I don’t know if they’ll change the rules suddenly, if customs doesn’t comply.” Muranovic, who is married to a U.S. citizen and holds a green card, said the entire episode has made her rethink her own plans to travel outside the country. She won’t do it, she said. She’s too afraid that she wouldn’t be allowed to return. When asked if that fear spread beyond traveling, Muranovic quickly listed why she loves her life in America: an “amazing support system” of friends and her husband, their two dogs and cat, their city. But she also described a scene from just a few days ago, when a Lyft driver asked her
where she was from. “I was too scared to say Iran, so I said Austria,” Muranovic said. “I don’t want to tell anyone I’m from Iran.” As Muranovic hugged her sister Sunday, reporters crowded around them, peppering Yarjani with questions. Yarjani said she passed through customs without any issues this time, adding that she recognized some of the same officials who detained and deported her eight days before. The sisters kept their arms wrapped around each other as a tearful Yarjani thanked the lawyers, her friends and her school for their help. “Whenever I was in Europe ... if ever anybody criticized America, I would be the one defending it and saying, ‘You know, whatever you say, I feel that some of the greatest, most beautiful, most accomplished people also live in that land,’” she said. “From everything I’ve seen with the love and support from last week, that’s even more true.” As Yarjani and her sister slowly moved toward the airport’s doors, pushing their luggage through a swarm of television cameras, someone cheered from a nearby restaurant. The din of the terminal was quickly replaced by applause, welcoming Yarjani home. Kate Mather is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune. Los Angeles Times staff writer Teresa Watanabe contributed to this story.
“This is the country I love, I pledge allegiance every morning at school. I would fight for this country,” he said, but that some of Trump’s statements have seemingly questioned the loyalty of himself and millions of other Muslim-Americans. He and his fellow students said such actions as the immigration ban could be the beginning of far worse discrimination, and compared it to the Holocaust and internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Safi said he decided earlier this week, “I have to do something bold but yet respectful. I have to speak out when I feel injustice to me, my brothers and sisters and mankind.” The march, he said, “was truly amazing for me. a very heart-warming feeling.” Other students who took part in the march echoed his feelings. “No refugee should be turned away from this country,” said Saumya Khanna, a CCA junior.
Referencing the World War II era, when Jewish refugees from Europe were banned from entering America, some of whom were subsequently murdered by the Nazis, she said, “No one wants to see that happen again.” Junior Luca Giles, a transgender student, said, “No one deserves to be discriminated against for who they are or things they can’t control.” And Alex Poplawsky, also a junior, said she also sees disturbing similarities between the World War II era and today’s anti-immigrant rhetoric. “As a minority, I know what it’s like to feel discriminated against,” said Poplawsky, who has Jewish and Mexican heritage. “I don’t want anyone else to go through that.” Junior Kane Bush said, “I’m marching in solidarity with people who are repressed.” While many students cheered on the marchers, some students opposed their message, said Safi, and held up signs saying,
“Build the Wall,” and “Make America Great Again,” which was Trump’s campaign slogan. But the marchers continued silently on their way, he said. On a Facebook page Safi set up to spread the word about Thursday’s silent march, posts later Thursday said some students were planning a pro-Trump rally at CCA for the next day, Friday, Feb. 3. Killeen, in a statement issued Thursday, said he and other administrators became aware of Thursday’s planned march through social media. School officials notified CCA families and let them know that if they wanted a quiet space for lunch, away from the event, they could go into classrooms, the gymnasium or other places. Killeen also said in an e-mail that San Diego police school resource officers and extra administrative staff were on hand Thursday to “ensure for a safe and largely normal day.”
