Search for housing consultant continues BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY The search for a consultant to help Encinitas’ Housing Element Update Task Force develop a state-compliant housing plan continued Feb. 23 when the four-member group met for its second meeting. As he was instructed at the prior meeting, task force member Bruce Ehlers — the No on T spokesman — returned with a list of similar cities that Encinitas might be able to model a housing plan after and receive recommendations from for a consultant. 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 SEE HOUSING, A14

Scores of people held battery-powered candles as they walked down a long cul-de-sac toward Issa’s home, where they stood and sang quietly for a few minutes. Many said they just wanted to make their presence known. “We just want to keep his feet to the fire,” said 70-year-old Faith Attaguile of Encinitas said. “We are showing him that we are not going away.” Issa was at an event in Oceanside, but his staffers

The event was one of a handful of so-called “emergency vigils” held in the state near the homes of U.S. Reps Jeff Denham, Kevin McCarthy, Devin Nunes, Steve Knight, Dana Rohrabacher and Ed Royce. Issa’s spokesman Calvin Moore said “everyone has the right to peaceably assemble and make their voices heard, but dragging the congressman’s wife and family into this goes beyond the pale.” He pointed out that Issa met with protesters and supporters outside his office Tuesday morning, Feb. 21, answering questions for more than 90 minutes, and that his schedule this week has included coffee with constituents, roundtables SEE ISSA, A14

Two Encinitas Union School District schools were the only elementary schools in California to be honored with the Civic Learning Award of Distinction. Flora Vista and El Camino Creek Elementary Schools were honored with the award last month, according to Chris Juarez, principal at Flora Vista.

Nonprofits expand housing options for domestic violence victims The nonprofits Community Resource Center and Community HousingWorks on Feb. 23 announced a partnership to provide expanded housing options to domestic violence victims. The center, which serves victims in the North County and is based in Encinitas, will be able to provide additional transitional housing and direct rental assistance to families impacted by domestic violence. Community HousingWorks builds and owns affordable apartments. “Housing is critical in

achieving stability for families who have been impacted and uprooted because of domestic violence,” said Rebecca Nussbaum, CRC's associate director of programs. CRC officials said they received more than 1,900 calls on their domestic violence crisis line last year. They said they provided the victims with resources and directed them to places where they could receive additional assistance. The partnership is being funded by a grant of roughly $450,000 from the state Office of Emergency Services.

Farm-raised Olivenhain teen wins national 4-H award BY PAM KRAGEN rowing up on a farm can be grueling work for a child. But 18-year-old Samuel Sugarman — who spent his boyhood milking cows, collecting eggs and harvesting honey on his family’s Olivenhain property — figures he was the luckiest kid in town. “I was so sheltered on the farm I thought everyone had this same love for getting dirty, digging holes and playing in the mud,” he said. “So many children don’t have a connection with the Earth and with animals. So I always wanted to share that love of mine with others.” Before he left home for college last fall, Sugarman spent more than five years offering free tours of his family’s Sugar Sweet Farm to hundreds of student, scouting and community groups. Those efforts were honored recently by the National 4-H Council, which named Sugarman the recipient of its 2017 4-H Youth In Action Award for Agriculture. Each year, 4-H chooses four teens who embody the pillars of the organization: agriculture, healthy living, citizenship and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). At a recognition ceremony in Washington, D.C. next month, the teens will each receive a $5,000 scholarship, and one will be chosen for the 2017 4-H Legacy Award. Reached Feb. 23 at his dormitory at Principia College in Elsah, Ill., Sugarman said the 4-H honor means a lot because he believes the organization shaped his life in profound ways. “Through 4-H you have the opportunity to go out and explore the world,” he said. “The biggest lesson for me was that there’s no such thing as failure. Sometimes you don’t meet all your goals, but that’s not a failure, it’s an opportunity to learn from your mistake and do better next time.” Sugarman was just 6 years old when his family — parents Shawn and Elizabeth and younger sister, Sissy — moved to Olivenhain from the Bay area 13 years ago. They settled on a 2.5-acre farm property formerly owned by Loren Nancarrow, the longtime San Diego newsman who was a noted organic

Elizabeth said she’d always dreamed of living on a piece of land with some horses, but she decided to start a farm after a Waldorf schoolteacher encouraged her to do more hands-on projects with her kids. “My kids saw me on the phone, on the computer and in the kitchen, but they never saw me building or making things with them,” she said. “We started with a backyard chicken and bunny project and it was like magic. It was work with no time attached to it. It was togetherness and peace.” Over the years, Sugar Sweet Farm expanded to include horses, goats, sheep, turkeys, pigs, a cow, a donkey and beehives, as well as an organic garden and orchard. The farm sells homegrown products, offers pony rides and private farm parties, but the school and club tours that Sugarman began leading when he was in sixth grade are free to the public. He said the tours always started with a chance to meet the animals, followed by a talk about sustainable agriculture, genetic biodiversity, old vs. new farming practices and the care and feeding of livestock. Much of what he taught on the tours came from his training with the Olivenhain Valley 4-H club, a 100-member chapter that he joined as a boy, and eventually presided over. His

sister Sissy, now 15, serves as chapter president and has taken over running the farm tours. Stephen Kehle, who served as Sugarman’s longtime mentor and adviser in 4-H, said that from the time Sugarman was 9 years old, and exhibiting his own livestock at the fair, he seemed to be on a mission to connect with “city dwellers.” Once, a fair-goer munching on a roasted turkey leg began asking the young Sugarman questions about a “chicken” he was exhibiting. It was actually a 30-pound turkey. “I personally heard Samuel explain to a youth visitor that prices for produce and meat increase when gas prices rise due to the distance between the farm and retailers,” Kehle said. “I don't know a lot of high school students who freely discuss the impact of macro-economic factors on a specific industry.” Sugarman said many children today have never stepped foot on a farm, don’t know how fruits and vegetables grow and don’t make the mental connection between packaged meats at the store and living animals. “I wanted these kids to see where their food came from. ‘You know the turkey you had for Thanksgiving? Here’s a live turkey. See that pig? That’s where bacon comes from,’ ” he said. The 4-H work not only taught him a work ethic and SEE FARM, A19

More NYT bestselling authors than ever at this year’s Writers’ Conference, says President of CCA Creative Writing Club BY LOIS ALTER MARK Don’t be surprised when you start to see more and more bestselling authors coming out of San Diego. Over the past five years, the CCA Writers’ Conference – the only free writers’ conference for high school students in the country – has continued to grow and encourage aspiring young writers, drawing in hundreds of teens from more than 20 area high schools and attracting top names in publishing. On Saturday, March 11, Canyon Crest Academy’s Creative Writing Club will present the sixth annual conference, and it looks to be the biggest one yet. Twenty-two authors will lead workshops in a variety of subjects from screenwriting to poetry to comics and graphic novels. Students will have the opportunity to participate in six different sessions with a choice of four workshops per session. The day will begin with a keynote address by Mary E. Pearson, author of several award-winning books for teens, including the bestselling Jenna Fox Chronicles. “The conference has gained recognition by both authors and publishers, and authors have actually started to reach out to us, requesting to speak, which is really great,” said Julia Camilleri, president of the CCA Creative Writing Club. “This year, we have the largest number of New York Times bestselling authors presenting, and attendance is soaring!” Camilleri, a senior at CCA, joined the Creative Writing Club during her freshman year, and took over after former president and conference founder, Devyn Krevat, graduated. “As a sophomore, Julia stepped into the role of president with poise and competence,” said Kathy Krevat, author of the bestselling Chocolate Covered Mystery series and conference consultant. “She balanced it all with a heavy academic workload and other extracurricular activities.” In fact, Camilleri not only founded an after-school writing club for middle school students but she also piloted a creative writing program for at-risk teens in partnership with Words Alive, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to literacy. In addition, she is working on her Gold Award, the highest award that can be achieved in Girl Scouts. Although all of these projects revolve around writing, Camilleri plans to pursue a pre-med course of study in college, with the goal of becoming a pediatrician. “Writing is a hobby and de-stressing activity that I enjoy on the side,” she explained. “It has and will continue to be a creative outlet for me and an important tool in my future endeavors.” Camilleri believes that any high school student considering a career in writing should take advantage of this conference. “It’s a great learning opportunity, and students even have the chance to meet a literary agent in a workshop about getting published,” she said. “Every author has a unique experience to share about the process of becoming successful. Plus, there’s something for everyone, whether you’re interested in journalism, creative writing, poetry, graphic novels – pretty much any

So many attendees said they ‘found their tribe’ at this conference.” According to Camilleri, fantasy, action and horror tend to be the most popular genres among attendees. Top workshops have been Grand World Building in Fantasy, Writing Great Action Scenes, and College Essay Writing, and all are back by popular demand. This year’s conference is bittersweet for Camilleri because it will be her last. “I love the excitement around the day, and the buzz you can feel during the whole event,” she said. “We start registration at 8 a.m. and there are always students turning up earlier because they’re so excited.” Camilleri remembers dozens of moments that stand out to her from past conferences. “One image that will always stay with me is of a student who had brought all his savings to the conference,” she said. “He was walking back to his car and his hands were piled high with 30 books he purchased and had signed by the authors at the conference. He looked so happy!” This year, Camilleri is looking forward to meeting keynote speaker Mary E. Pearson, whose book, The Adoration of Jenna Fox, will soon be heading to the big screen. She’s also excited about presenting an award to spoken word poet Viet Mai, who will close the conference with an inspirational performance. “Last year, we initiated a Jonathan Maberry Inspiring Teens Award to acknowledge the author’s support of the conference and all that he does to promote teen literacy in San Diego,” said Camilleri.

Neurogenx treats nerve pain at the source levels and increase cellular metabolism.” “Inflammation of the nerve is the major reason for nerve damage,” explains Bahreman, who is the only board-certified neurologist in San Diego County who offers this treatment as an alternative to narcotics or invasive surgery. “With this technology, the (developers of Neurogenx Treatment) were able to prove that the inflammation can be reduced.” The ideal candidate for this treatment, he says, is a person suffering from peripheral nerve damage. It has also been available to patients with diabetes, fibromyalgia and even vitamin deficiency. Treatment is not a one-time-only proposition. “You have to be committed to the program for it to be effective,” Bahreman stresses. That program generally entails 40-minute sessions twice a week for three months, all of it on an outpatient basis. “The response rate is very high,” says Bahreman, who has more than 14 years of experience in neurology

But he points

out that the cost over time is not prohibitive. “It differs from case to case, of course, but when you break it down to the number of treatments, I think it’s less than what you’d pay for a chiropractor or for massage therapy.” Since some patients may be new to EST or perhaps even wary about it,

Bahreman offers complimentary consultations to each prospective new patient. Because its patients come into the office so often during the treatment program, “they know us by name and ask us what’s going on in our lives, and we do the same,” says Eileen Craker, who is Bahreman’s physician liaison and who works with other physicians on referrals for this treatment. “We want to create almost a family with our patients.” Bahreman said he believes that the future is promising for patients of Neurogenx Treatment on both a financial and a medical level. “In the next five years,” he says, “it’ll be even more effective and more affordable.” — Neurogenx NerveCenter is at 8851 Center Drive, Suite 608, La Mesa.

If you suffer from neuropathic symptoms or neuromuscular pain, you’ve got the option of a non-invasive treatment that its proponents say is 87 percent effective. Dr. “The concept is Amirhassan called electro-signal Bahreman therapy, or EST,” says Dr. Amirhassan Bahreman, medical director at the Neurogenx NerveCenter in La Mesa, part of a nationwide chain that has been open since October.

FROM HOUSING, A1 1,093 high-density units, according to city officials. The city’s last effort for a Housing Element — Measure T — failed in the November election. The plan called for allowing additional housing on a series of sites along busy roadways in all five communities of Encinitas. In order to meet state targets for new housing growth, the plan proposed easing city height restrictions and allowing 20 to 30 dwelling units per acre on those sites. Ehlers’ list included cities such as Carlsbad, Solana Beach, Oceanside, Poway, Del Mar, Los Gatos, Corte Madre, Santa Cruz, Palo Alto, Huntington Beach, San Clemente, Newport Beach, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Palos Verde Estates, Manhattan Beach and Santa Barbara. Ehlers, however, said he needed more time to benchmark the selections before the city decided on which cities to call and which consultants they should review. “Before we grab a consultant and bring them in, let’s go down the path and see who did it right,” Ehlers said. The group — also consisting of Mayor Catherine Blakespear, Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz and former Planning Commissioner Kurt Groseclose — agreed to allow Ehlers to come back with further information at the next meeting on March 9 at 6 p.m. at city hall. The task force also all seemed to

agree that the city should rule out working with Veronica Tam, who helped the city in the past with a housing plan. Groseclose said one of the most important things is that the city come up with a plan that is agreeable by at least 80 percent of Encinitas’ population. Steve Chase, acting planning manager for the city, said it was important that if developments were zoned to have low and very low-income housing, such units should be included. “I don’t think any of us want to game this,” he said. “I think we really do want to put these low and very low income units on the ground so we can show HCD what we can do. We need to demonstrate to the state we think we can do this. It’s more than just a game.” Resident Bob Bonde, who has long been considered the Father of Encinitas, pushed for affordable housing, including the possibility of utilizing accessory dwelling units. “We have a situation that is far bigger than political,” he said. “We have a need for affordable housing in our city, and that should supersede politics.” Other residents in the room echoed the need for affordable housing so future generations could afford to live in Encinitas. The idea to count bedrooms by acre versus units by acre also came up again. Barbara Kautz, special counsel for the city regarding the housing element, agreed to see if this was an

option for Encinitas. San Luis Obispo County in 2014 established a procedure to set affordable rent levels and sales prices that were adjusted by size of the housing, in terms of number of bedrooms. Damien Mavis, whose family has owned a property on the Southeast corner of Manchester Avenue and El Camino Real for 30 years, said he’d like to develop his property to help the city reach its state-allocated numbers, including those for affordable housing. Mavis, a developer who said he has built affordable housing by design in the past, said he can voluntarily build at least 20 percent affordable housing. He suggested the city look at him as a “poster boy” for such a project to show the Department of Housing and Community Development that such a plan is reachable in Encinitas. “I can probably be the only builder who can stand up and say, ‘Hey, we can do that,’” Mavis said. “It’s a monumental task, and I think our track record shows we can be a positive contributing member.” The property was included on one of the original three maps considered in the city’s environmental review process. Resident Glen Johnson said the most important idea was that the city follows the law and satisfies residents. “I don’t want this to be a giant salad where everything gets thrown in,” he said. “I want us to be state compliant.”

FROM ISSA, A1 and listening sessions. “If the congressman is ‘missing’ then apparently they haven’t been looking all that hard,” Moore said Thursday shortly before the vigil began. “.. We should absolutely call out this silliness for exactly what it is: manufactured stunts to create political theater.” On Tuesday night, Feb. 21, more than 1,000 protesters attended a town hall in Issa’s 49th congressional district that focused on the possible repeal of the Affordable Care Act, as well as other controversial policies put forth by President Donald Trump. Issa didn’t attend the meeting, opting instead to speak earlier in the day with supporters and protesters who gathered outside his Vista office to praise or decry the efforts of the Trump administration. Had Issa shown up Tuesday night, Feb. 21, the vigil in his neighborhood wouldn’t have happened, said Rev. Beth Johnson, one of the organizers. Since late January, grassroots groups — many formed as part of the Indivisible movement — have protested weekly outside Issa’s office, asking to meet with the congressman. Johnson said the rallies, town hall and vigil highlight “the importance and urgency of being heard.” The activists are getting help from organized labor and healthcare advocacy groups, including a coalition called Fight4OurHealth, which promoted the vigils. The events were planned because people are concerned about changes to health coverage, said Anthony Wright, the executive director of Health Access California — one of the forces behind Fight4OurHeath. Wright said Issa’s discussion with protesters Tuesday morning, Feb. 21, wasn’t good enough. “I would argue that going outside his office at a random time, while appreciated, is not the same thing as having a scheduled event ... that members of the public can make sure to attend,” he said. He said the umbrella group has not led the charge, but rather is helping grassroots groups trying to channel their energy. “I wish we could take credit for all the turnout and energy that is out there,” Wright said. “The level of concern speaks to how personal and important healthcare is to people.”

PET OF THE WEEK

JACINTA,

a 9-year-old Boxer/American Staffordshire Terrier mix, has had a hard life and is now ready to be pampered and loved in her golden years. She loves to spend quality time with her humans getting gentle pets and giving kisses. She enjoys leisurely strolls and long naps on the couch or in the warm sun. Jacinta still enjoys chasing squirrels and rabbits, so she should no go home with any cats, but may do well with another dog with similar temperament to keep her company. Jacinta is a sweet, human-focused pup who can’t wait to be spoiled and loved in her new home. Jacinta is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 East Valley Parkway. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275.

www.encinitasadvocate.com FROM CUP, A1 well as Joe Harper, president and CEO of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, and Craig Fravel, president and CEO of the Breeders' Cup, on an ocean-view deck at the Plaza Del Mar shopping center to kick off eight months of planning and preparation leading up to the two-day racing event on Nov. 3 and 4. Ticket sales for the general public commence at 9 .m. on Monday, March 6, at www.BreedersCup.com/tickets. The ticket office can be reached at 877-849-4287. Prices range from $35 for single-day infield admission, to $1,875 for a two-day package that includes meals at a sixth-floor restaurant in the racetrack grandstands. Fravel stressed that those who want to attend the event, billed as Super Bowl of horse racing, must decide in advance, because tickets will not be sold at the door. "There will be no way to get to (the) Del Mar (racetrack) on Nov. 3 or 4, unless you arrange it in advance," by purchasing tickets online, Fravel said at the news conference. This fall marks the first time the Breeders' Cup will be held at Del Mar in its 33-year history. The first Breeders' Cup was held at Hollywood Park in Los Angeles in 1984. Harper said in an interview that he was already running the Del Mar race meet when he attended the first Breeders' Cup. "I thought, wow, we've got to figure out how to get this thing." Harper, a 40-year Del Mar resident, and his staff have been actively pursuing the Breeders' Cup for more than a decade. In order to land the prestigious event, the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned Del Mar fairgrounds and race track, in 2014 completed a $4.5 million widening of the track's turf course. Other upgrades, such as additional luxury suites, helped seal the deal, Harper said. "It's pretty easy for me to sell something like this," Harper said at the news conference, gesturing toward the panoramic ocean view behind him. "Of all the venues the Breeders' Cup has been to, this has to be the icing on the cake." Local officials hope this year's Breeders' Cup will be the first of many to be held at Del Mar. If the event is a success, said Harper, such a scenario is likely. Other Breeders' Cup venues include the Santa Anita track in L.A. and Keeneland

race track in Lexington, Kentucky. Next year's Breeders' Cup will be held at Churchill Downs, in Louisville, Kentucky, home of the Kentucky Derby, one of horse racing's triple crown events. Attendance at the Del Mar Breeders' Cup will be capped at 37,500 per day, much smaller than the crowds of more than 40,000 that attend opening day of the Del Mar summer race meet. The Breeders' Cup and Del Mar Thoroughbred Club are investing $4.5 million in temporary luxury seating for the event, including two trackside "chalets" each seating about 900 people. Also, 900 box seats are being added to the Clubhouse and Stretch Run areas of the track. The infield will feature "The Beach," a sandy area that will hold up to 250 people with casual seating, umbrellas, a video screen and private bar. Shuttle services, as well as drop-off areas for Uber and taxis, will be available for attendees, as on-site parking will be limited to those with official parking credentials, according to event planners. Over two days of racing, the Breeders' Cup includes 13 races -plus an "under-card," with purses and awards totaling $28 million. Local officials said the event, which attracts horse racing fans from around the world, is expected to generate tens of millions of dollars in economic activity for the San Diego region. The event will be broadcast on NBC. and a weeklong festival, including such events as concerts, a golf tournament and a 10k run, is also planned. Some events are planned for a temporary tent proposed to be erected at Del Mar's Powerhouse Park. At a Del Mar City Council meeting in December, council members supported the concept of the so-called "Barn at the Beach," but wanted more details before giving final approval. Sinnott said city staff is working with Breeders' Cup officials to gather more information about the planned events, and the proposal is expected to come back before the council within a few weeks. A mix of public and private events is planned, and Sinnott said the location of the tent at Powerhouse Park will encourage community involvement in the Breeders' Cup,. as well as bring visitors to Del Mar. "I think (the Breeders' Cup) is a chance for people who aren't familiar with Del Mar and all our assets, like the beaches and good weather, to experience Del Mar," Sinnott said.

Time for term limits

oo many school board members regard their elected positions as full-time careers and have served on school boards far longer than is reasonable. Term limits have been supported by citizens for many elected posts, including the president of the United States, state and federal office holders, and numerous county and city positions. Mark Powell, in a San Diego Union-Tribune op-ed last year, wrote that polling consistently shows support for term limits for elected officials. Yet it’s not done for school board members. Powell, who was just elected to the San Diego County Board of Education, wrote, “Serving as a school board member should not be a career” and that serving for decades can “lead to stagnation and a lack of fresh decision-making.” He said, “School boards thrive when new ideas are allowed to flourish” and that a school board works best “when people are allowed to infuse new ideas and come up with creative and innovative teaching strategies.” In this newspaper’s feature last August on the San Dieguito Union High School District candidates running for school board, incumbent Joyce Dalessandro is quoted as saying, “I love my job!” Dalessandro was just elected last November to her sixth term. No one will deny that experience counts for something. But as Powell said, it’s not supposed to be a job or career. SDUHSD board member John Salazar agrees with Powell and supports the idea of term limits. Salazar, who was first elected in 2010 and re-elected in 2014, said in a March 3, 2016 San Diego Union-Tribune article, “It makes sense to get some turnover.” His proposal as envisioned would not apply to sitting trustees, only to future school board members. Dalessandro, who has served on the San Dieguito board since 1996, said in the same U-T story that she would not support term limits for school board members. “Term limits limit the choice the public has,” she is quoted as saying. “If you have a great board member, they then can get termed out. What is the intelligence there?”

“It takes a long time to learn the in’s and out’s of a school district. It’s a very long learning process,” added Dalessandro, who if she finishes her term of office in 2020 will have served for 24 years as a San Dieguito trustee. Unjustly vilified That it’s a long learning process may be true. But almost all elected officials have a learning curve to get up to speed. No one walks in fully knowledgeable. Yes, long-time board members may be more educated about how school districts operate, due to longevity, and they have historical perspective. But school board members are not unique among all other elected positions. They do not require special knowledge or higher intelligence. It’s nothing that smart, committed individuals can’t learn. After serving multiple terms in office, trustees feel protective of the legacy they’ve helped to create and the need to preserve a particular ideological point of view. But this shuts out others who may have much to contribute and may be quick studies. Encouraging potential candidates with similar views to run in their stead is a tactic frequently employed by veteran trustees who decide they want out. This protects the long-time school board member’s agenda by ensuring that their pet issues remain intact and their particular ideology continues. But does it cross the line when trustees hand-pick their successors, get the backing of special interests, and work behind the scenes to unduly influence the election? Qualified candidates who can infuse a school district with fresh vitality, energy and new ideas are often discouraged when faced with the decision to challenge entrenched incumbents. It takes a special kind of person to take that on. Last year, there was no more qualified, knowledgeable and energized San Dieguito school board candidate than Lucile Lynch. But because she was running against two long-time incumbents, Dalessandro and Beth Hergesheimer, she lost. Perhaps the bigger reason she lost is because she was unjustly vilified by the San Dieguito teachers union which campaigned vigorously for the two

These could be done easily by putting particulate measuring devices along 101 in town. The city owes it to the residents to do a real cost benefit analysis instead of what appears to be “feel good” governance. Bart Denson Encinitas incumbents who had just months before approved a huge raise for teachers. Lynch is a woman who reasonably – and very respectfully – questioned board decisions about the budget, salary increases, spending priorities and vendor contracts. She was not, as the union insisted, a rubber stamp for an anti-teacher agenda. She was an independent thinker who owed allegiance to no one, not least of all the board minority. She was engaged, articulate, dedicated and intelligent. And yet she lost, a loss for students and parents in the district as well. Beating veteran incumbents, especially incumbents endorsed by the teachers union, can be an insurmountable challenge. Fresh enthusiasm For local school districts, the following trustees are serving three or more terms of four years each: San Dieguito Union High School District: • Joyce Dalessandro, first elected in 1996, now serving her sixth term which expires in 2020 • Beth Hergesheimer, first elected in 2004, now serving her fourth term which expires in 2020 Encinitas Union School District: •Marla Strich, first elected in 1998, now serving her fifth term which expires in 2018 Cardiff School District : • Nancy Orr, first elected in 1988, now serving her eighth term which expires in 2020 Solana Beach School District : •Vicki King, first elected in 2006, now serving her third term which expires in 2018 • Rich Leib, first elected in 2008, now serving his third term which expires in 2020 •Debra Schade, first elected in 2002, now serving her fourth term which expires in 2018 The Rancho Santa Fe School District and the Del Mar Union School District each have five trustees, all serving either their first or second terms of office. In the cases of Cardiff and Encinitas, it’s less of an issue when only one trustee out of five is a long-timer. But in San Dieguito and Solana Beach, it’s time for new blood. No one would question that longevity offers advantages. But someone – especially a younger board member who still has children attending district schools – can offset the loss of a veteran by providing the district with new, exciting ways to think about problems and solutions and by contributing fresh enthusiasm that prevents school boards from becoming stagnant. Maybe the limit is two terms, maybe three. But beyond that, it becomes tedious and even obstructionist, as newcomers who would like to contribute to the process as public servants are shut out. At some point, veteran trustees need to step aside SEE SUTTON, A19

www.encinitasadvocate.com – and step aside completely – to give other voices a chance to be heard. Term limits may be the only way to force the issue. *************** There is potential good news on the legislative front for proponents of later school start times. On Feb. 13, Democratic state Sen. Anthony Portantino introduced Senate Bill 328 which would require all Calif. middle and high schools to start school no earlier than 8:30 a.m. The science is clear, he said, that “starting the school day later improves the quality of education, health and welfare of our children.” Portantino’s news release cited studies that confirm that insufficient sleep in teens “poses a public health risk and has an adverse effect on academic success.” In addition, later start times would improve attendance. Since funding is tied to attendance, Portantino’s office said that the

Los Angeles Unified School District, for example, would gain about $40 million per year if attendance improved by just 1 percent. The benefits of later school start times for adolescents struggling with changing circadian rhythms have been irrefutably documented by leading scientific and medical professionals and organizations for so many years that it’s astonishing why districts like San Dieguito continue to be unresponsive. Excuses – like a disruption of bus schedules and after-school sports, and an inconvenience to parents and teachers – ring hollow when districts claim to support their students’ health, well-being and academic success. A 9 a.m. start time would be even better, but 8:30 a.m. is progress. School districts have ignored the data on the benefits of later start times for decades now. Finally, they may be forced to act in students’ best interests. Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com. with the 2016 Congressional Award Gold Medal.
