SDUHSD board passes resolution declaring all schools a ‘safe place’

SDA boys soccer team scores big wins in the classroom. A7

BY KAREN BILLING Speaking at the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board meeting March 9, San Dieguito High School Academy teacher Rob Ross said that a few weeks ago he noticed that one of his students seemed stressed in class. When he asked if she was OK, she burst into tears. The student told him she couldn’t concentrate in school because of the fear and

anxiety she was facing — her parents are undocumented immigrants and they had been discussing plans if they should suddenly “disappear” due to deportation. Ross said that in his work with Latino leadership and supports groups, more students have reported feeling widespread fear to the point of terror, families who have been here for decades

BY KAREN BILLING San Dieguito High School Academy Principal Bjorn Paige recently announced he will be leaving the school at the end of the school year. In July, he will become the principal of the Arts & Communication Magnet Academy in Beaverton, Oregon, a school of over 700 students in grades 6-12 with a focus on fine and performing arts. "If SDA could be personified, that person would be Bjorn Paige: kind, funny, accepting, quirky and smart. He truly supports what is best for every student and he values the work of the Foundation,” said Leslie Kulchin Saldana, executive director of the San Dieguito Academy Foundation. “He embraces San Bjorn Paige Dieguito's history and celebrates its alumni and traditions of its 80 years. We are extremely sorry to see him go and he will be missed.” Instead of saying “goodbye,” Paige said he wishes to say “thank you” instead. “This is not a move inspired by leaving, but a move about going to,” Paige wrote in a message to the community. “In my heart I am an Oregonian, a fellow of moss and foggy afternoons, of flannel shirts, rainstorms and used bookstores. I grew up beneath fir trees, and while I have loved my time in California, I have never stopped missing green. My path leads through a forest.” “I’m excited, a little nervous, and ready to begin a new adventure.” Paige was named the principal at San Dieguito in 2015 and was an enthusiastic leader of the school — he once addressed the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board in a full Pokemon costume and kept the community updated on everything SDA on his active Twitter feed.

Man killed by train in Leucadia BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A man died when he was struck by a train in Leucadia on the afternoon of March 15, authorities said. A preliminary investigation found that at about 2:45 p.m., a man stepped onto the train tracks in the area of Leucadia Boulevard and North Coast 101, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. The man was then hit by an oncoming Amtrak traveling southbound at about 90 miles per hour, according to Sgt. Jason King of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. “The train went into emergency braking but the train struck the male,” the Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said. Details about the man, including an approximate age, were not immediately known. Rail services in the area were closed as authorities investigated, King said. Leucadia Boulevard between North Coast Highway 101 and North Vulcan Avenue was also closed in both directions, and drivers were instructed to choose alternate routes. “Unfortunately, due to the speed of the train, our debris field is quite large,” King said. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Sheriff’s Department’s non-emergency line at 858-565-5200.

SDUHSD looking to close $9.2 million deficit by June BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board approved its second interim budget for the 2016-17 school year at its March 9 meeting, a projected income of $131,982,190 and projected expenditures at $141,226,363. Over the next few months, the board will look at ways to chip away at a deficit of $9.2 million, focusing on savings found away from the classroom. Chief Financial Officer Delores Perley said very little has changed since the first interim budget approved in December — revenue has increased by $2 million and expenditures are up by $1.5 million. The

district is projecting to maintain an 11.6 percent reserve of $16 million but multi-year deficit spending will continue to erode the reserves. Reducing the deficit and restoring the reserves remains a priority, Perley said. As the district begins to prepare for the end of the school year and preparation of a new adopted budget, staff will look at ways to save when possible by lowering operational budgets to reflect actual spending, she said. SDHUSD Trustee Mo Muir again reiterated her disappointment with the $9.2 million deficit and expressed concerns about rising retirement costs. SEE DEFICIT, A21

Authorities seek ID of Walmart grand theft suspects Investigators from the San Diego Sheriff’s Department’s North Coastal Station are seeking help from the public to identify two women wanted in connection with a commercial burglary and grand theft at a Walmart in Encinitas. The incident occurred Feb. 25 at around 6 p.m. when two black women walked out of the store, at 1550 Leucadia Boulevard, with two Samsung 55-inch televisions, valued at about $1,600, according to a news

release from the Sheriff’s Department. The women did not make any attempt to pay for the items as they exited the store, authorities said. The first suspect was described by the Sheriff’s Department as a 5’6” black female, about 35 years old and weighing about 155 pounds. She has long, straight black hair and was last seen wearing a blue baseball cap, pink sweatshirt, blue jeans and white high-top tennis shoes. The second suspect was described as

Parents voice concerns about SDUHSD coach selection process “ ”

BY KAREN BILLING As the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board was set to approve a number of contract coaches for school athletic teams at its March 9 meeting, some parents wanted assurances that all coaches are being properly vetted. Parent Wendy Gumb said she believed that in the case of some coaches at Torrey Pines High School, the correct hiring process was not followed. Gumb said it’s important that all coach positions are posted as per board policy and that people are allowed to apply and positions are not just given to “people that are favorites of the foundation or coaches or certain parents.” Torrie Norton, SDUHSD associate superintendent of human resources, said notices were posted for all of the coaching positions

on the list and interviews were conducted. Norton said coaches are vetted by human resources and candidates must go through CPR(cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and first aid training, drug screening and finger printing. Additionally, the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) requires that coaches complete sudden cardiac arrest training, a concussion training and a six-hour long coach’s training course. At that point, Norton said the school sites are then notified that the coaches have been cleared so that they can begin working with students.

SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said the district also holds mandatory coaches meetings prior to every season. Certificated teachers in the district do have priority in the hiring process for coaches, but Dill said it is challenging because they can’t force teachers to coach. “When we don’t have willing certificated coaches that’s when we go out to ‘walk-on’ coaches,” Dill said. Former Torrey Pines parent Elaine Kooima said the issue she has found with some contract “walk-on” coaches is that they have zero or minimal SEE COACHES, A21

Encinitas moves forward with climate action update BY BARBARA HENRY Encinitas is pushing forward with plans to have a draft update of its Climate Action Plan ready for City Council consideration in June. That was the message city employees and consultants had March 9 for the city’s Environmental Commission, which is tasked with handling the city’s latest efforts to reduce its carbon emissions and thus Encinitas’ small part in causing global warming. The new plan, which will replace one that the council adopted in 2011, will continue to offer various ideas that the city can use to

reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, but it also will set specific carbon-reduction targets that the city must try to achieve in the coming decades. By 2020, the city is proposing to cut its carbon emission rates by 4 percent, by 2030 that figure jumps to 41 percent and by 2050 it’s 78 percent. As a base line, the city uses its 2012 carbon emission rate of 474,635 metric tons. In addition to these general carbon-reduction targets, the plan will have goals in individual categories, such as reducing residential SEE CLIMATE, A21

Deputies seek help finding missing elderly man Authorities are seeking the public’s help in finding a missing 70-year-old man who was living in Encinitas and whose whereabouts has been unknown since December. Brian Gregory Smith was last seen Dec. 21 when he checked Brian out of a medical rehabilitation Gregory facility in Escondido, according Smith to a news release from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.

Family members reported him missing to the San Diego County Sheriff’s North Coastal Station in late January. Smith does not have a car or permanent address, authorities said, but he had been living in Encinitas and spent most of his time in the North County area. The Sheriff’s Department described Smith as 5’10” with brown hair and hazel eyes. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the Sheriff’s Department at 858-565-5200.

Developer eyes Del Mar blufftop for oceanfront resort BY LORI WEISBERG A local development team has taken the first step toward transforming a prime oceanfront site on the Del Mar bluffs into a resort that would also include a public park. The Robert Green Company, which recently opened the upscale Pendry hotel in downtown San Diego, is teaming with Encinitas-based Zephyr, a housing developer, to acquire seven parcels of land located just south of Solana Beach, north of Del Mar dog beach and west of the fairgrounds. Currently owned by three different families and under private ownership for at least the last century, the triangular-shaped piece of land has long been occupied by only a couple of gated homes, while the northernmost piece remains vacant. Adjoining the site on the south are four acres of city-owned land laced with winding walking trails. The Encinitas developers announced last week they have entered into a long-term SEE DEVELOPER, A18

ENCINITAS ACUPUNCTURE CLINIC HELPS PATIENTS ALLEVIATE PAIN AND INCREASE ENERGY Since opening Acupuncture 4U in Encinitas two years ago, Dr. Qin Fu has helped patients alleviate pain and bring their bodies back into balance through acupuncture and other Chinese methods. Whether it’s for anxiety and stress, back pain, allergies or skin conditions, clients come to Dr. Fu for a variety of ailments and concerns. “There are many benefits of acupuncture,” says Dr. Fu, who has practiced Chinese medicine for nearly 30 years. “One of the main ones is increased energy. He finds that everyone carries a lot of stress, and energy is key. “If you don’t feel good, the first thing to address is low energy,” he says. From the young age of five, he learned about Chinese herbs from his family, who have been in the herb pharmacy business for three generations. After studying Western and Chinese medicine in China, Dr. Fu immigrated to the United States in 1990. He settled in San Clemente and began helping at his family’s acupuncture business in the herb pharmacy. After working there for 10 years, he moved to San Marcos and built a new office where he stayed until 2008. As his practice grew, he moved back to San Clemente. Two years ago, he relocated to San Diego and set up an acupuncture practice in Encinitas where he helps patients ranging from two and a half years old to 98. Seventyfive percent of those who come are 35 years old and older. Practiced for centuries, acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine. Dr. Fu says it is based on the belief that a person’s health depends on the smooth flow of energy in the body. That energy, called Qi (pronounced Chee) flows through pathways in the body referred to as meridians. “If the movement of Qi is blocked, emotional or physical pain may occur,” says Dr. Fu. “When the Qi is again flowing smoothly it helps bring back balance and energy in the body; the pain is relieved and the body is able to heal itself.” Tiny thin needles are inserted at certain points throughout the body to help with energy flow and treat specific health problems. Dr. Fu says that the points have been mapped by the Chinese for more than 2,000 years and electromagnetic research has recently confirmed their locations. Sometimes, he says new patients have concerns about the needles. “The acupuncture needles are as fine as a strand of hair and flexible,” explains Dr. Fu. “Some patients feel no pain at all and most patients feel only minimal discomfort as the needle is inserted.”

Fu’s wife, Yueling Chen, understands their concern from first-hand experience. An Olympian, Chen received a gold medal in the 1992 Olympics for speed walking. She used to walk 20 miles per day while training. “Someone on a talk show in China calculated that in six years I walked two and a half times around the earth,” says Chen. With all of the training, she hurt her back and retired from the sport. She moved to the United States where she met Dr. Fu. He encouraged her to try acupuncture to help her back pain but she was reluctant at first. “I was scared of needles and at first I didn’t want to do it,” she says. “I think most people are nervous because they think the needles hurt. They are so tiny and thin they really don’t.” Chen says acupuncture changed her life. “He [Fu] told me it was going to be very good for me and I wouldn’t regret it,” she says. “Since then, I’ve felt good and the pain is gone.” She was even able to compete in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. They married in 2004 and have two daughters, ages seven and 11. Chen works in the office and together they try to help as many people as they can. Dr. Fu makes it a priority to spend an ample amount of time with patients to diagnosis their problems. “The key thing about Chinese medicine is finding the root of the problem,” he says. “I’m happy to share that with my patients. They learn a lot after they experience the treatment.” Dr. Fu is often told he has a good energy and a natural ability to connect with those he treats. He often encourages his patients to eat well and says that nutrition is a very important part of good health. In addition to acupuncture, he also uses Chinese herbs and other Chinese methods in his practice including Qigong, which incorporates physical exercises and breathing; cupping therapy, where suctioning is created on the skin; and Tuina (pronounced twee naw), which is a therapeutic massage. The number of treatments depends on an individual patient’s needs. In Chinese culture, acupuncture is often used as a preventative measure. Dr. Fu says that after a few treatments, his patients learn to take better care of themselves and are more aware when a problem is just starting so it can be addressed before it becomes chronic. “Chinese medicine is never-ending learning,” says Fu. “Every day is a new process. It’s more than just physical. If your Qi is moving better, you can think clearer and have more energy.”

SDA senior writes children’s book focused on STEAM

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A senior at San Dieguito Academy wants young girls to know they can play important roles in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) alongside the boys. “Even though I love it now, I don’t want more girls to feel like I did,” said Nikki Arm, 18. “When I was in elementary school, there were robotics teams, but I only knew of boys joining them. I saw it as maybe I wasn’t allowed to join.” The Carlsbad girl has written a book called Riley Loves Robotics, which is aimed toward encouraging young girls — with a target age range in second through fifth grades — that they have a place in STEAM. The book, which Arm is currently attempting to raise $6,000 for on Kickstarter, is the first in a series of books on STEAM that she is planning. She hopes to release Riley Loves

Robotics by the summer to her Kickstarter supporters. She said she hopes to influence more females in STEAM with the books, which started as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award Project about two years ago. Arm, who is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, said she wanted to combine her loves of creative writing and science. “The number of girls in STEAM is growing, but it still needs help,” she said. “A lot of young girls love reading, but a lot of them kind of shy away when you start introducing sciences. I figured this would be a good way to pull them in when they might not otherwise look at it.” Arm said it is also important for boys to know girls can have STEAM careers, too. “I want them to not really think twice about seeing girls involved in these things,” she said. “It won’t be anything strange to them as they’re

It would just be part of the norm.” Each book is divided into three sections, including an illustrated rhyming story, a detailed section about the STEAM topic and a glossary. Arm said she sparked an interest in STEAM when she was in elementary school but didn’t yet pursue it because she thought it was restricted to boys. When Arm got to high school, she saw other girls on the robotics team, Team Paradox 2012, and decided she wanted a piece of the action, too. Now, she is the head machinist

for the team, which won the San Diego Regional FIRST Robotics Competition on March 10. The team will advance to the world championships next month in Houston. Arm said she plans to study mechanical engineering and marine biology in college to eventually build deep sea vehicles to explore the deep ocean.

The San Diego Botanic Garden has been recognized as a recipient of a “Top 10 North American Gardens Worth Traveling For” Garden Tourism Award. The Canadian Garden Council and the American Public Gardens Association placed the San Diego Botanic Garden as ninth on the list of gardens from around the world. It was the only California-based garden on the list. Garden tourism plays a significant role in tourism, which is the world's fourth largest industry, according to a news release from the Garden Tourism Awards. “For example, more people visit gardens in the United States than go to Disneyland and Disney World combined, and more than visit Las Vegas annually, making Garden Tourism one of the largest sectors in the tourism market,” said Dr. Richard Benfield, author of “Garden Tourism,” and chair of the International Garden Tourism Network.

Prep Boys Soccer

San Dieguito Academy nets big wins in the classroom BY GIDEON RUBIN When a high school sports team features athletes who excel academically, it is admirable. When an entire team does so, it’s pretty special. It’s for that reason that these days the San Dieguito Academy boys soccer team is bursting with pride. The Mustangs entire roster of 24 players was named to the San Diego Union-Tribune’s All-Academic team. The team’s combined GPA was 3.8, including eight players with GPA’s of 4.0 and up. Two others posted a 3.97 GPA and a 3.96 GPA. “Really, really great groups of kids,” Mustangs coach Keith Whitmer said. “We want to win games at SDA but we really pride ourselves on our academics.” “The minimum (qualifying GPA) is 3.2,” he said. “And we crushed it.” Senior Ethan Boutelle typifies the Mustangs’ academics-first culture. Boutelle, a co-captain, was was among the Avocado League West’s leading scorers this year and helped lead the Mustangs to the San Diego Section Division I quarterfinals. Boutelle is among two Mustangs players carrying a 4.25 GPA (Noah Bussell is the other). In Whitmer’s estimation, Boutelle projects as a potential Division I collegiate prospect. Boutelle wants to

It’s pretty impressive.” Whitmer, a first-year coach at SDA, said his players responded to the team-first emphasis he’s tried to instill. “We had goals as a team in terms of really changing the environment and really shifting the focus on making this more of team environment and the kids bought in right away,” Whitmer said. ”It was important for me to get them to believe in themselves.” Despite a tough going in one of the county’s toughest leagues (the Mustangs placed fifth, and were 4-12-4 overall for

the season), the team’s smarts translated into a high soccer IQ, Whitmer said “I don’t think it was indicative of the talent that we had,” Whitmer said. “We were in every game, they never ever quit.” The Mustangs proved Whitmer’s point in the postseason. As a No. 12 seed, they upset No. 5 Southwest San Diego in the first round. Southwest San Diego was unbeaten as Metro Mesa league champions. The Mustangs lost to No. 4 La Costa Canyon in the quarterfinals in a hotly contested 1-0 game. The team’s progress throughout the season was impressive. “In the playoff run, we got it right,” Whitmer said. “All of a sudden everything seemed to click. “The way we wanted to play all season seemed to click in the playoffs and it was exciting.” And something to build on for a program that Whitmer enjoys coaching, and believes is on the rise. “These are great kids to be around, they’re super smart and they’re super motivated,” Whitmer said. “The opportunities these kids are going to have with going to colleges are phenomenal,” Whitmer said. “In addition to being talented kids, they’re great kids, that was a highlight for me. I had so much fun during that four-month season, it was a blast.”

Local resident launches company to provide personalized cancer care BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe resident Blaise Barrelet recently launched CureMatch, a new company he believes could be the future of cancer treatment. CureMatch is a decision support platform designed to offer personalized medicine in cancer care. Operating on the belief that cancer is a personal disease that shouldn’t be treated with a one-size fits all treatments and procedures, the software technology enables matched combination therapies that are unique for individual patients based on the molecular profile of the patient’s tumor. “Matched combination has been shown to have higher response and survival rates than traditional chemotherapy or targeted mono-therapies,” Barrelet said. Barrelet, a native of France, has lived in Rancho Santa Fe for 18 years. A self-described “tech guy” and “serial entrepreneur,” he has started several successful businesses, including WebSide Story in 1996, one of the first internet businesses in San Diego. The company was also one of the first to provide web analytics for websites and he ended up selling it to Adobe Software in 2004 in a billion-dollar deal.

Barrelet then retired a “little bit” but didn’t really like being sidelined so decided to get back in the game helping other start-up businesses. He founded Analytics Ventures about five years ago, a venture-formation fund that works with scientists to create new data-enabled technology and software businesses. Barrelet’s latest venture, driven by a desire to help cancer patients, was a result of his own experience. Four years ago, while his wife was pregnant with their fourth child, he received the shocking diagnosis of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). “The doctor told me ‘There’s good news and bad news. The good news is: it takes time to kill you. The bad news is: there is no cure,’” Barrelet said. “At first I felt really numb, I didn’t understand, I had it all, I had fun building companies and I had made lots of money. My next reaction to cancer was anger: ‘Why me?’ The third reaction was: ‘I’m going to beat this.’” He was fortunate to be living in San Diego, where the top CLL specialists in the world work at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. Barrelet wasn’t sure that chemo was the best course of action for him so he started the process of learning all he could

about targeted-therapy drugs, drug combination therapy and the use of DNA sequencing. The more he learned about the “amazing” and “phenomenal” developments in the cancer treatment field, and the more his health benefited from the alternative to chemotherapy, the more he was determined to start a company that would help others. CureMatch uses technology originally created and licensed by a multi-disciplinary team at Moores Cancer Center and the San Diego Supercomputer Center. Using the latest molecular profiling tools, such as next-generation sequencing, CureMatch identifies the unique nature of the patients’ tumor and helps personalize the most advanced treatment options, including targeted therapy and immunotherapy. With combination therapy, it’s possible to use combinations of drugs to target multiple cancer mutations at the same time. Barrelet said CureMatch is the result of his two incredibly smart co-founders: Igor Tsigelny and Razelle Kurzrock. Tsigelny, a research professor at San Diego SuperComputer Center and Moores Cancer Center, is world-renowned

OTTO

expert in structural biology, molecular modeling, bioinformatics and structure-based drug design. Kurzrock is a pioneer in pathology and combination therapy who serves as the director of the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy and Clinical Trials Office and is senior deputy director for clinical science at Moores Cancer Center. The way a non-medical person like Barrelet likes to explain what they do is by using the analogy of boats floating on water — cancer is the water that comes and punches holes in the boat. Every hole is a genetic aberration. Barrelet compares chemo to using a bucket to bail water out of the boat as it is sinking and mono-target therapy can plug the biggest hole in the boat but water can still find a way in. Cancer treatment has changed and there are now 300 FDA-approved cancer drugs designed to go after the

variety of different holes in a boat. “What we’re doing at CureMatch with matched combination therapy is quite complex —effectively plugging every hole in the boat. Of the 300 cancer drugs there are 4.5 million possibilities to combine drugs. It’s so complex because there’s so much data,” Barrelet said. “We take the data and make insight out of it and figure out the best drugs for each patient.” CureMatch produces the top five to 10 combinations for each patient and scores them with a unique scoring system to rank treatment options to optimize patient care. The patient then goes to their oncologist with actionable knowledge — it is not a substitute for the physician’s decision, but provides the physician with a score for any options they have in mind and provides new combinations of drugs. With cancer care, Barrelet said he hopes to see something similar to what happened with HIV, which is now primarily treated by combination therapy due to patient advocacy. “Cancer patients are the best ambassadors. When you know you’re going to die, you’re willing to do anything. That’s the best way to change things,” Barrelet said. “To me, it’s so enjoyable to do something using my skills, net worth and knowledge that is about more than just making money. This is about saving other people, empowering patients and making a difference.” To learn more, visit curematch.com

The Community Resource Center’s annual English Tea event will take place April 1. about $50,000 for the CRC’s programs. Much of the funding will go toward the center’s domestic violence program, officials said. “If you knew someone who was experiencing domestic violence, where would you turn for help?” said CRC’s CEO Isabel St.Germain Singh, in a statement. “CRC provides safety and stability for households in crisis from domestic violence, as well as education programs and counseling that aid in the prevention of such violence. The annual English Tea provides necessary funding so that CRC can continue to meet the needs

of those coming to us for help.” In 2016, CRC’s domestic violence program served 143 households, including 124 children, through their Carol’s House domestic violence shelter, transitional housing, counseling and therapeutic programs, officials said. Additionally, 98 percent of CRC’s domestic violence program households did not return to their abusers in Fiscal Year 2015-2016. The CRC’s domestic violence hotline in 2015 and 2016 also received almost 2,000 calls, said Heather Johnson, the CRC’s SEE TEA, A21

Need a Financial Plan? Scott Ashline at La Jolla’s Northwestern Mutual can help BY DAVID L. CODDON There’s no one-size-fits-all formula for successful financial planning. Everyone has different needs and dreams for the future. That doesn’t deter Scott Ashline and his team at Northwestern Mutual. In fact, he relishes the challenge. “What I really enjoy is discovering what are clients’ objectives and trying to figure out ways we can help them,” said Ashline, for 25 years a wealth management adviser at Northwestern Mutual. “It’s like solving a puzzle.” Ashline’s team is composed of practitioners in comprehensive financial planning, estate planning, business planning, retirement income planning, investment strategies and risk management. “Each person has a different specialty,” he explained. “We really do your overall financial planning. For some people it’s ‘How much do I need for my kids’ education?’ For others it’s retirement strategies, and for others it’s life insurance or setting up retirement plans.” In other words, and Ashline emphasizes this, “We’re not just investment managers.” Northwestern Mutual is a

longstanding company, founded way back in 1857 in Wisconsin. Its three San Diego County offices include the Golden Triangle area, downtown San Diego and Carlsbad. Ashline, originally from Colorado, is a graduate of Boston College and says with pride that financial planning is the only type of work he’s done from the start. “Interaction with clients” is what he said he likes most about it. No wonder that in 2016, Scott and his team were number one in the Western U.S. (out of over 1,000 advisors) for the third consecutive year for the financial security award. This recognizes planners for their overall success in comprehensive planning. That’s a distinction perhaps earned by understanding the ups and downs of the financial world, by being visionary and by reassuring his clients. “The challenge is keeping them focused on their long-term goals,” Ashline said. “A lot of times the latest news tends to infuse fear in people into doing nothing. I see that a lot in some of the estate planning markets in terms of what’s going to happen with estate taxes.” He urges clients

who may be anxious to be proactive, to keep moving forward, and to trust his team: “Do what you do best,” he advises, “and let us help you figure out your longer-term goals.” Ultimately, Ashline said, the goals are the same for all of his clients, regardless of their financial portfolio. “At the end of the day, everyone has the same kind of objectives. It comes down to math. I always say my job is to get people to save and invest money before they spend it. “No one is hard-wired to save money. We’re about getting people to save first and then spend. Getting people disciplined.” There may be no ideal client, but Ashline knows what a good one is: “Somebody who really wants to do great things for their family and for the community. They’re in it for a bigger purpose than just making a lot of money.” Northwestern Mutual is at 4225 Executive Square, Suite 1250, in La Jolla.

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263

Can My Varicose Veins Affect My Blood Pressure? Some truths about venous hypertension. Statement: I already know my varicose veins can be caused by my elevated blood pressure. The real picture: Sure, elevated blood pressure can be accompanied with varicose veins as a symptom. But elevated blood pressure might not be the cause of everyone getting varicose veins. Very often, varicose veins are hereditary. They are caused by a

weakening of the venous walls. Statement: But only older people or pregnant women can get varicose veins. The reality: While many women do ﬁnd themselves with varicose veins during pregnancy, and while venous walls do weaken with age, the truth is that anyone can get varicose veins, including men and young people. Varicose veins can occur from standing too often, or from sitting too often, either at work or during traveling. When the venous walls weaken, too much strain from a heavy workout elevates the blood pressure, and the veins and valves have to work very hard to pump the blood from the feet and legs back up to the heart. Conversely, when the body sits for too long, blood can pool in the weakened veins because the body isn’t working hard enough to pump the blood back up to the heart. But again, sitting, standing, and working

out too much in and of themselves don’t automatically cause varicose veins. However, varicose veins are common enough in people that a moderate workout routine and an active lifestyle are good practices for just about everyone. Statement: So, if varicose veins may be caused by elevated blood pressure, that means the reverse can’t be true, that varicose veins don’t affect my blood pressure. Right? The reality: Not so fast. Doctors are still working on learning the full effects that varicose veins have on blood pressure. However, what they do know is that varicose veins can contribute to venous hypertension. When blood pools in the veins in your lower extremities, that puts additional pressure on your heart, which has to then work harder to pump all of that pooled blood back up the body. This is especially dangerous to people who already

Look to these local authorities for professional guidance on daily living at delmartimes.net/columns

have an underlying heart condition. That is why varicose veins are themselves, in fact, considered a medical condition. Statement: I don’t have to worry, then, if I don’t have varicose veins. The reality: Incorrect! Many people suffering venous hypertension have no visible symptoms. This is why regular medical checkups are a must, especially if you have a family history of high blood pressure, hypertension, or heart disease.But since varicose veins are known to have a negative medical effect on the body, apart from being unsightly, it can be worthwhile to get them removed with a simple inofﬁce sclerotherapy treatment.If you have hypertension caused by varicose veins or are ready to consider sclerotherapy to remove your varicose veins, visit us at www. sdveininstitute.com or contact us at 760944-9263.

'A Night of One Thousand Spotlights' fundraiser March 25: Helping girls around the world Caitlin McGuire, a high school student from Rancho Santa Fe, was looking for a way to make a difference. In the spring of 2015, she attended a fundraiser, held by a close family friend for Sahasra Deepika, an organization providing residential care, education and hope to underprivileged girls in Bangalore, India. “Sahasra Deepika Foundation for Education touched my heart. I realized how lucky I am to have options that many girls around the world do not. I want to help expand the opportunities available to the girls at Sahasra Deepika,” said Caitlin. Fast forward to June 2016 when Caitlin spoke to Sarva Rajendra, president of Sahasra Deepika Foundation For Education (USA), about the school’s needs. Caitlin became a Youth Ambassador for Sahasra Deepika and accepted the mission to raise awareness. While speaking with Rajendra, Caitlin learned that the school needed funding for an outdoor amphitheater. Caitlin immediately made a connection, “I have been dancing since I was 3. Dancing allows me to express my passions and emotions. I decided to ask my friends to help the girls in India explore their passion for performing arts, so they can have the opportunity to experience the joy we feel,” she said. Caitlin quickly designed a logo of a girl holding a heart under the stars and named the fundraiser “A Night of One Thousand Spotlights.” The name Sahasra Deepika means one-thousand lights. She then contacted friends from different local high schools to coordinate a performance showcase of song and dance for the event. Madison Coe, also from Rancho Santa Fe, was the first to join in. “Once I heard about this opportunity, I thought about how amazing and special it could be,” said Madison. “Having access to a performing arts program has helped me pursue what I am most

passionate about, which is music. I believe everyone should have the option to express themselves through the arts,” she added. “A Night of One Thousand Spotlights” will take place at Temple Solel in Cardiff on March 25, from 5-8 p.m. There will be a cocktail hour under the stars, with heavy appetizers and a silent auction. Guests will then sit down for dessert and coffee, while they are entertained by high school students singing, performing music and dancing. The acts include a specially choreographed classical Indian Dance performance by Nrithyallaya Dance Academy of Vista, and performances by Evolution Dance of Carlsbad, All Star Dance of Solana Beach and more. Sarva Rajendra, president of Sahasra Deepika Education Foundation (USA), will be flying in from Washington D.C. to speak about the organization and the importance of girls’ education in the world today. “The world needs more leaders like Caitlin, who is extending the hand of friendship to girls in need and striving to make a difference in their lives. ‘A Night of One Thousand Spotlights’ is going to be a very special evening. On behalf of everyone associated with Sahasra Deepika, we thank Caitlin, her friends and all of those working behind the scenes to make this event a success,” said Rajendra. Caitlin, Madison and their friends are working hard to reach the fundraising goal of $20,000, which will allow the school to build an outdoor amphitheater. “Madison and I have exchanged video messages with the girls at Sahasra Deepika. We plan to go to Bangalore, India, meet the girls and see the theater, once it’s built,” said Caitlin. The girls and their families have reached out to the community for support and the response has been overwhelming. “A Night of One Thousand Spotlights’” title platinum sponsor is Natural High, a national organization based in San Diego, whose mission is to inspire and empower youth to find their Natural High and develop skills and courage to live life well.

Local children receive new shoes Who does not love a new pair of shoes? Over 50 4-year-old children were recently treated to new shoes with the help of Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito (ALRSD). The children attend St. Leo’s Headstart in Solana Beach and enjoy weekly tutoring sessions with volunteers of ALRSD. The Solana Beach City Council awarded ALRSD with the monies for this shopping event and Councilmember Jewel Edson arrived to lend a hand with shoe selection. Shoe purchases required some money but the smiles on the faces of the children were free and priceless. For information, visit www.alrsd.org or call 760-634-1091. Assistance League Rancho San Dieguito is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of children and adults affected by trauma, violence and poverty.

FROM DEVELOPER, A4 agreement with the landowners to acquire and develop their property, culminating more than a year-long effort to strike a deal. They have yet to formulate specific development plans but the centerpiece would be a luxury resort that could be complemented with hotel-branded villas, restaurants and walkways, not unlike the concept behind the Montage blufftop resort in Laguna Beach. “I was born and raised in San Diego, and until a year ago, I had never set foot on this property because it’s all private,” said Robert Green, whose downtown hotel project was a partnership with Pendry’s parent company, Montage International. “One could just build 25 super luxury single-family homes, but that would mean the only people who could enjoy that property would be those 25 families. The idea of building a luxury hotel is much better for the community not only financially, but it also opens up the property to public access forever so anyone can come and stay there, and dine there.” Green would not reveal the financial terms of the deal with the landowners. One of those owners, Ross Gilbert, has called the blufftop area home for nearly 30 years, likening it to “living as close to heaven as possible.” The idea of converting the area to a resort, he said, “is a natural for this particular location.” Another property owner had earlier received approval to convert a portion of the land into five gated mansions, but those plans are now on hold, said Brad Termini, CEO of Zephyr, which specializes in luxury mixed-use housing projects on the coast. “We went to the city and said it would be a shame to have that site closed off to the public for another 100 years, so we want to introduce

a plan that has exceptional public benefits and welcomes the community to the site, rather than a plan that gates large mansions for the next 100 years, said Termini, whose company is currently building a 170-unit condo project near Doheny State Beach in Dana Point. Before the developers even map out specifics of the project, they will be meeting with the surrounding community, including neighboring residents in Solana Beach, to solicit input. Dates have not been set, but the city of Del Mar requires such community feedback before projects are designed. While there have been inquiries in the past from developers about building out the blufftop land with a hotel, the Green-Zephyr project marks the first formal undertaking of such a development, said Del Mar City Manager Scott Huth. “Our hope is that the public can walk between the proposed project and the edge of the bluff to enjoy those views, and the developers know that’s a goal and they’re embracing that,” he said. “This property has good access to the highway and fairgrounds nearby but there will also be challenges. It’s how do you design something that works in the community and also addresses neighbors’ concerns in Solana Beach. It’s going to be a very delicate combination of listening and coming up with a design that doesn’t increase impacts to the communities around them,” Huth said. Development of a hotel, though, is several years off, considering the need for an environmental impact report and a lengthy entitlement process that would include a hearing before the California Coastal Commission. “We’re in the first stage of a very long road,” said Termini, “so it’s difficult to provide timing on this.” — Lori Weisberg is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Toby Keith, Darius Rucker to perform at county fair BY JOE TASH Country music stars Toby Keith and Darius Rucker, comedian Jeff Foxworthy and R&B singer Patti LaBelle are among the performers who will entertain visitors at the 2017 San Diego County Fair on the main grandstand stage. The list of performers was released on Tuesday, March 14, after the board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds, approved the entertainment contracts. Other grandstand acts will include La Arrolladora Banda El Limon, Switchfoot, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, gospel singers Tasha Cobbs & Hezekiah Walker, and Calibre 50. For the full lineup, and to purchase pre-sale tickets on March 16 and 17, visit www.sdfair.com (Promo code CACTUS). General sales begin March 18 on Ticketmaster. Some of the shows are included with fair

admission, while others require a separate ticket. The fair runs from June 2 through July 4, and will be closed Mondays, except for July 3, and the first three Tuesdays. The full run of the fair is 26 days. The top-paid performer this year is Keith, who will be paid $350,000, according to the 22nd DAA board agenda. Rucker will be paid $200,000, and LaBelle will earn $95,000. Foxworthy’s contract is for $125,000. The board also approved contracts for performers in the Paddock and Solid Gold concert series, which will include the Yardbirds, Elvin Bishop/Charlie Musselwhite, Los Lobos, Rita Coolidge, Don McLean and the Pointer Sisters. Adult fair admission will be $18, up from $16 last year. Seniors and children between 6 and 12 years old are $11, and a pass for the full 26-day run will sell for $26.

Case of measles confirmed in San Diego County BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A case of measles has been confirmed in a San Diego County resident who traveled out of the country and may have exposed others at two North County medical facilities, the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) announced March 15. One of those locations is the Scripps Coastal Medical Center Urgent Care in the 100 block of Cedar Road in Vista, where exposures may have occurred on March 8 from 7:30 p.m. to midnight and March 9 from 4 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. The other potential exposures occurred at the Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas emergency room and radiology department in the 300 block of Santa Fe Drive between March 9 at 6

p.m. and March 10 at 8 a.m., and the second floor in-patient hospital ward on March 10 from 5:30 a.m. to 8:15 p.m., according to the HHSA. The health department is contacting people who were known to be at those locations during the exposure periods to determine if they have been vaccinated and their potential for developing measles. People with symptoms are asked to phone their doctor’s office in advance, rather than visit an office directly, so that infection control measures may be implemented to prevent exposure to others. Measles develops seven to 21 days after exposure. For more information, contact HHSA at (866) 358-2966 or visit www.sdiz.org.

moral obligation to say something,” Ross said. “In my 17 years of working with immigrant students in this district, it is my conclusion that we are indeed getting their best, and in this moment, we need to reassure them that we are on their side.” At its March 9 meeting, the board showed they agreed with that message of tolerance and inclusion by unanimously approving a Resolution in Support of All Students and Declaring All Schools a Safe Place.” The resolution was proposed by the board following comments heard at the Feb. 2 SDUHSD board meeting regarding the district’s policies on discrimination and promoting tolerance at the schools. Canyon Crest Academy parent Rajy Abulhosn referenced a basketball game between Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest Academy where students briefly chanted “Build that wall.” SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said that, in light of recent national events, the district has received a number of questions regarding its policies. “This resolution was drafted to reiterate and reaffirm the board’s commitment to providing a world-class public education and safe schools for all students irrespective of their immigration status, ancestry, color, disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, nationality, race or ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, socio-economic status or beliefs or association with any of those,” SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said. “What the resolution would also do is embrace the diversity of our community… reaffirming that we are opening and accepting and that we have safe schools for all of our students.” The resolution also affirms that the district complies with the law by not inquiring about immigration status nor maintaining documentation of a student’s legal status or disclosing that information to third parties. Everything included in the resolution is already included in various existing school policies. “(The resolution) puts it all together within one place and makes a statement to our students so they know that we support them and that they’re safe,” SDUHSD President Amy Herman said. The resolution was met with support and thanks during public comment from parents, teachers and students — Torrey Pines’ Grace Bashour, an immigrant from Syria, and Noah Garcia, representing Torrey Pines’ Genders and Sexuality Alliance (GSA),

FROM PAIGE, A1 was the principal of Diegueno Middle School and assistant principal at La Costa Canyon High School. In his message he wrote that the person he is today is the result of the experiences he has had at the three SDUHSD schools over the past decade.

said the district’s resolution was meaningful to them, providing them with a “backbone of support.” “Ultimately my goal in speaking up wasn’t to create dissent or simply to expose problems, it really was my hope that we could bridge gaps and facilitate solutions,” Abulhosn said. “This resolution does that and I am very appreciative.” Brenda Robinette, a teacher in the English-language learner program at Torrey Pines, also thanked the board for the resolution, as she considers it an honor to serve and care for some of the most diverse students in the school. “I especially love working with kids who know how special it is to be able to go to school in the United States, where they get the opportunity to create the kind of future that they know they deserve,” said Robinette. She said teachers dedicate themselves to make sure every student feels important, successful and valued. “The resolution reflects what is in each of our hearts.” Torrey Pines teacher Don Collins, who runs the Peer Assisted Listeners (PALs) program at school, said he works hard to foster student connectedness at school, especially with new students — he said the 2,600-student school had more than 200 transfer students from around the world. He said student wellness centers on students feeling connected and being treated with dignity and respect. “Your proclamation is a good-faith promise to promote a safe and inclusive place for all students to come and learn and grow. You heard from two amazing students who found a home, who found friend groups and, as a result, they became student leaders. They had to start somewhere, and that somewhere had to be a safe place. They had to be themselves and they had to be themselves to thrive,” Collins said. “This proclamation makes it a clear and loud statement to all the student families: You matter to us, we are here to teach you.” Erin Charnow, who teaches math in the Newcomer Academy at La Costa Canyon and serves as an advisor for the GSA club, said she has the opportunity to reach some of the school’s most vulnerable populations. The majority of students in the Newcomer Academy are new immigrants from Central America, primarily Guatemala, and she said hearing the board’s proposed resolution put them at ease and alleviated fears they had about even coming to campus. She ensured them it is their right in America to have an education— “It’s suddenly given them a voice which they didn’t feel they

had,” Charnow said. Charnow also shared the resolution with her GSA club, many of whom are only out in the club and not to their families. “To say that the school is the one place they can be themselves, means so much to them,” Charnow said, noting one student was made to use a special bathroom and use a utility closet to change for PE at their last school after coming out. SDUHSD Trustee John Salazar said he doesn’t typically like resolutions because they have no teeth. He questioned what would be done differently after the resolution is passed. Dill said he would be communicating the board’s position to 18,000 district contacts and reiterating that message until it becomes the district’s accepted “brand.” The resolution also directs Dill to work with site principals to engage in activities that promote tolerance and inclusion and to provide training to staff. “Aren’t we pretty much already doing that?” Salazar asked. “We are doing that but there’s nothing that says we can’t do a better job,” Dill said. “One of the issues that we have is that each school is doing something different…I think we need to start looking at a more unified approach…find what works and set to replicate and repeat that from school to school.” During public comment, parent Lucile Lynch also wanted to ensure that there was action behind the resolution, including addressing transportation needs of students in the La Colonia and Eden Gardens communities, and equal education and workforce training for students with disabilities. Not everyone at the meeting was in support of the resolution. “I object to this resolution, I see it as an attempt to state a political opinion…it is not a proper use of the time, the attention and the resources of this district,” said Carmel Valley resident John Turnage. Turnage said he felt that it is a much better use of public resources to pay attention to issues that can be addressed by legitimate functions of the district rather than to apply “good intentions to political situations which they cannot effectively influence.” “If we feel fear and anxiety about recent events, it is not coming from the district,” Turnage said. “It’s not coming from here and I think that pretending that it might come from here is likely to produce the same fear and anxiety that you’re trying to comfort people about.”

He wrote he was thankful for the Maverick spirit and kindness of La Costa Canyon and the “magic” of the great teachers and staff at Diegueno, who once all dressed like pirates. “To San Dieguito, my kindred spirit of a place, my gratitude is matched only by the love I feel toward the people who make up this

great school. I leave San Dieguito more changed by it than it will ever be by me. For that I am thankful,” wrote Paige. “Our school district is more than just a collection of great schools; SDUHSD is a life-changing force for good, filled with nurturing adults, curious students, caring parents, and a sense of hope.”

www.encinitasadvocate.com FROM COACHES, A3 training on how to work with high school students. Kooima pointed out that the California Educational Code states every high school student is entitled to fair and equitable treatment and have equal opportunity to practice and access to competitive facilities. Supervisory staff is also required to investigate and protect every student from harassment, intimidation and bullying. Kooima said she was disappointed in the district’s response when she reported inequitable treatment and harassment to multiple players by a Torrey Pines contracted coach. Kooima said she was “humiliated” and her complaints were reduced to a “trivial concern” by then- Principal David Jaffe and former Superintendent Rick Schmitt. She said she was told her complaints were just about “playing time” and she was told the principal did not have to meet with her because she did not follow protocol. “No protocol was ever stated or given to me and it is not published on any website.

FROM TEA, A9 domestic violence program coordinator. The women are then referred to different agencies or CRC’s services, including Carol’s House and transitional housing. Moore said many of the women become known to the CRC before they reach out for help because of the center’s educational and outreach programs. “At some point, a woman makes a decision to leave her abuser,” Moore said. “We don’t always get the same women because sometimes we will help them be placed out-of-area because it’s safer for them.” Accepted women can spend between 45 and 60 days at Carol’s House — and in a case-by-case situation, can be extended to 90 days — where they work with counselors to help the women get back on their feet, Johnson said. Offerings for the women at the CRC include financial counseling, nutrition and food support, help to get food stamps and help to see if they qualify for any kind of aid. “When the women are in the shelter, we offer them the whole range of the classes that we offer to the community,” Moore said. “Often, these women have been so overshadowed by their abuser that they don’t have a checkbook, credit card or job skills.” Johnson also noted the center’s nationally-recognized therapeutic children’s center.

FROM DEFICIT, A2 SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said the district is aware of inflation of retirement costs and they are built into the budget. He said he expects the district to see some revenue growth, but he ensured the board that they would not be spending every new dollar that comes in. Even if the district receives a “rosy revenue” picture from Governor Jerry Brown in May, he said he would still advise the district to move forward in capturing operational savings. “We need to hold tight on expenditures and we need to make effective use of increased revenue as it comes in to help

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - MARCH 17, 2017 - PAGE A21

Also, there is no law that says following protocol is more important than the well-being of a student. None whatsoever,” Kooima said. “And the law states that every case of bullying must be investigated immediately. I got blown off.” Kooima said she believes that this kind of “awful, abusive treatment” is still happening at district schools and requested that the board carefully choose contracted coaches and to take complaints more seriously. SDUHSD Trustee John Salazar agreed that the district should look more carefully at coaches, noting there is one pending complaint against one of the district sports teams, currently under investigation. Salazar said he is also concerned with an allegation regarding district coaches that have close connections with club teams — he is concerned that coaches are making money off of students, requiring them to play for club teams in order to make the school team. He said when he hears allegations and complaints like that, he intends for the district to deeply investigate those issues. “It’s a place where a kid can be a kid, where they don’t have to worry about what mom is doing and if she’s OK,” Johnson said. “They can kind of be in their own world and play.” Domestic Violence Program participants are also provided transitional housing at a lower rental cost and are able to continue receiving concurrent services. The CRC also helps homeless people and offers counseling on a sliding scale, tax preparation services and mailing addresses. “Our mission is more to prevent homelessness,” Moore said. “If a family is having to choose between living in their car and having nutritious food, they can enroll in our food program ... We offer all of those services people need to remain a real person. Once you slide into homelessness, it’s really hard to get back ... We’re large enough to make an impact, but flexible enough to meet the needs of the community.” English Tea event officials are still seeking auction items and sponsorships. Anyone who wants to get involved should call Moore at 858-775-3955. Tickets for the event are available through March 20 at www.crcncc.org/event/englishtea. Tickets are $75 for general admission — including tea sandwiches, scones, sweets and tea — and $800 for an eight-seat VIP champagne table that includes lunch and desserts, as well as preferred seating, tableside champagne service and recognition in the event program. bolster the reserves and close the deficit,” Dill said. The board will hold Local Control Accountability Plan (required by the LCCF) and budget workshops in April and May. In May, Dill will bring forward recommended additions and subtractions to be built into the budget. The budget will be brought back for approval in June. “Year in and year out, we reach a point around now where things are looking pretty desperate, but a great portion of that is because we are so conservative in our projections,” said SDUHSD Vice President Joyce Dalessandro. “By year end, it always looks better. I can’t think of a year that it didn’t. And I’ve been here a lot of years.”

FROM CLIMATE, A3 electricity use by 2 percent and natural gas use by 4 percent by 2030. The goal isn’t simply to create a planning document, but to be able to assess whether the city is actually achieving its goals to reduce green house gas emissions, said Crystal Najera, the city’s Climate Action Plan program administrator. Hours before the city’s Environmental Commission met, the new head of the federal Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, said at an energy conference that he didn’t believe carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels was a primary contributor to global warming — a comment that was taken to mean that the new Trump administration would be rolling back regulations put in place by President Obama’s administration and putting itself at odds with the world’s climate scientists. The federal government’s shift in stance on climate change was on city Environmental Commission members’ minds March 9. “My concern is we’re going to lose four years of progress on the federal level,” commission Chairman John Eldon said after asking city staff members what carbon emission standards they were using and whether those were state or federal figures. The March 9 meeting was focused on setting goals for carbon reduction and hearing ways to achieve those goals. Staff members displayed six poster boards that contained proposals they unveiled at two recent public workshops. During those sessions, participants were given colored sticker dots and told to rank various proposals. Suggestions that received high numbers of stickers included: • adopting a leaf-blower ordinance to limit the use of gas-powered, leaf-blowers • creating a local shuttle bus system to increase

public transit use • developing a citywide “active” transportation plan • establishing an urban tree planting program • increasing coordination between regional transit services and area schools to encourage public transit use. Some people wrote down their own suggestions on sticky note pads and stuck them on the city’s display boards. Those suggestions included banning single-use plastic silverware, providing compost bins next to trash cans at city buildings and parks, and requiring new home to have gas instead of wood fireplaces. During the March 9 meeting, people had a few more suggestions. Julia Chunn-Herr, policy manager for the San Diego County chapter of Surfrider Foundation, said she would like the city to pay attention to the distance that its water travels, noting that some of the county’s drinking water requires a great deal of energy to get from far-distance sources to residents’ faucets. “Much as we look at energy sources, we should look at water sources,” she said. Arborist Mark Wisniewski told the commission that proposals to help reduce green house gases by planting trees aren’t always as effective as people might think. For example, he said, palm trees are virtually useless in achieving that goal because they don’t have much greenery on top and they require annual trimming using heavy equipment, which produces more green house gas emissions. People can continue to comment at public meetings on the plan in the coming months. They also can do so online via a city-sponsored conversation on PlaceSpeak at: https://www.placespeak.com/en/ topic/5252-climate-action-plan-update/ %20-%20/overview#/overview Barbara Henry is a freelance writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

OUR READERS WRITE Encinitas needs a real bike infrastructure In response to Bart Denson’s letter (March 3) “Cars and bikes: A real cost benefit analysis needed”: I must respond by first pointing out that his requested “cost benefit analysis” has already been done. Forbes magazine has reported that “bicyclists in the United States save at least $2.5 billion a year by riding instead of driving.” Additionally, if drivers replaced just one four-mile car trip with a bike each week for the entire year, it would save more than 1 billion gallons of gas, for a total savings of $4 billion a year, based on our country’s average gas price per gallon for gas ($2.30/gallon).

Is a cost analysis really needed when the health benefits of bicycling are obvious? Mr. Denson is frustrated because people are “exercising along our highways/streets,” causing him inconvenience as he drives his car, which is spewing carbon dioxide. The EPA tells us that the average car emits about 411 grams of carbon dioxide per mile. Unless Denson is a climate change denier, certainly the environmental benefits of bicycling over driving must be obvious to him, without a cost benefit analysis. May I also point out that Mr. Denson’s car, in its lifetime, scatters an additional 40 pounds of worn tire particles, brake debris and worn road surface into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, government funding of safe bicycling projects is not keeping up with the increase of people who are commuting to work. How useful

Harvesting food awareness in Encinitas, Part Two

hen developers were granted permits to build new housing in Encinitas in the 1990s, they were required to reserve land for schools to serve the children of the new homes. A 10-acre parcel on Quail Gardens Drive was set aside for this purpose and was deeded to the Encinitas Union School District in the early 2000s. Because the projected number of students did not materialize, the land sat empty for years, said Tim Baird, EUSD superintendent. The state frowns on unused school land and was moving forward on an assessment of about $60,000 per year, Baird said, prompting the district to have serious discussions about the property. Although he said the district didn’t need a school then, he felt the district eventually might. “This was the last big parcel of land available to us,” he said. “We therefore knew that whatever we did on the land, we had to be able to turn our work into a school at some point in the future.” The unique idea of Farm Lab met all requirements. The property was eventually transformed into an outdoor classroom that offers hands-on learning about bio-diversity, crop production and environmental science. Only one acre of the site is currently growing food for the district’s schools, but three more acres on the northern side of the property are being primed for future farming, with cover crops and soil amendments building soil fertility. We love our worms! Water usage and conservation are a major focus in Encinitas schools. “We have a whole series of lessons around water use,” said Baird. Each of the nine K-6 campuses offers filtered water, and drip irrigation nourishes the crops at Farm Lab. Farm Lab Director Mim Michelove said the San Dieguito Water District measured water usage at Farm Lab last summer, when more water is used than at any other time of the year.

“They calculated that … we used less than half of the water used in an average San Diego home,” she said. “That amount is consistent year-round, although we obviously use even less in cooler months.” Three Israeli-designed rain barrels, using an innovative yet simple concept to capture rain water, are in place at Farm Lab. Michelove said the rain barrels utilize a uniquely designed release valve at the bottom that eliminates bacteria and sediment. The health department has restrictions on how rain water can be used in schools. For now, the water can be used for landscaping purposes, and the district hopes to eventually use the water to flush toilets. Recycling is also part of the district’s environmental lessons. Children learn to sort their trash and food waste carefully, using special bins at every school site including Farm Lab. One of the six bins is labeled “worm composting food.” I asked Michelove if this awareness has taken the yuck out of worms. “We love our worms!” she replied, smiling. Farm Lab also loves the idea of providing food for the community by way of a Food Forest along the edge of the property. A tree garden has been planted along Quail Gardens Drive which will bear many varieties of fruit in about three years, free for the community. Michelove said about 25 drought-tolerant trees have been planted, including pink and yellow pomegranate, nectarine, papaya, fig, plum, apple, persimmon, loquat, pineapple guava, and black and green coastal olives. The trees were planted through a joint effort of volunteer community members and the California Conservation Corps. The trees and supplies were purchased with funds provided through donations. Signs along the walking path will provide information about water conservation and urban

would a survey of the actual amount of local bicycle traffic be, when you cannot factor in how many citizens are choosing cars over bicycles because riding a bike in Encinitas is not very safe? I suggest improving our bicycle infrastructure by making safe bicycle paths. Only then could we compare how many more people choose riding a bicycle over driving a car. Currently, there is no safe bicycle route to get from Leucadia to Cardiff or from downtown Encinitas to Solana Beach. Instead of a cost benefit analysis, the city of Encinitas needs a real bike infrastructure which encourages our citizens to get out of their cars and onto a bike! Ronette Youmans Encinitas agriculture. Not without controversy Despite all this, Farm Lab is not without controversy. Some parents have said Farm Lab is as controversial in the community as the yoga program has been. Said parent Danica Edelbrock, “As a health expert and a mom concerned with the environment for future generations, I applaud the idea of the EUSD Farm Lab. The importance of teaching children about these concepts is crucial to them growing up healthy and respecting our planet. “I would however like to be assured that the curriculum has been written by, and that farming practices are being managed by, educated leaders in these fields. I would also like to be assured that the [bond] proposition monies are being used wisely, that all children in the district have benefited from this program, and that the agriculture yields are in fact accurate.” Most seem to agree that the idea is good, but they question the cost. Baird said he plans to prepare a complete budget showing income and expenses for Farm Lab in the next month or so. Baird offered assurances about the crop yields at Farm Lab, saying, “The produce amounts that Mim gave are accurate. We are still purchasing some produce outside of the district farm and gardens, but our goal is to get as much as possible from our own fields.” Complaints have focused on the Farm Lab director herself, some questioning her qualifications and abilities. But Baird backs her, saying, “She is the best person in the world to be in this position doing this important work.” “Mim has acquired more money in donations and grants than her entire salary last year,” which Michelove said was about $80,000 not including benefits. Michelove was a co-founder of the non-profit Healthy Day Partners, which the website says was established “to provide schools with sustainable programs that help students make informed healthy lifestyle choices … [and to] support programs that engage students through school gardens, wellness and environmental education.” Michelove, through Healthy Day Partners, contributed to the success, Baird said, of the one-acre garden and farm at Ocean Knoll School, regarded by many as a showcase of nutrition and agricultural SEE SUTTON, A23

One common criticism of the program is that the students are learning how to garden, harvest and prepare farm-grown food not at Farm Lab but at the schools’ gardens. Michelove said the Ocean Knoll farm is where the district piloted most of the programming and philosophies now implemented at Farm Lab. “OK Farm serves as proof of concept, prior to the natural extension of this work at Farm Lab,” she said. The future of learning Geographically, Farm Lab is ideally positioned in what’s known as the Encinitas Environmental Educational Cluster, or E3 Cluster. The E3 Cluster is a rare convergence of nonprofit organizations within close proximity to one another: EUSD’s Farm Lab, Leichtag Foundation, Coastal Roots Farm, San Diego Botanic Garden, San Dieguito Heritage Museum, Seacrest Village Retirement Community, the YMCA, and others. It’s a location that gives students access to learning opportunities rarely realized in other school communities. This has contributed to Farm Lab’s growing reputation, which has resulted in official visits from schools in central and northern California, from Los Angeles, and some San Diego County schools. “Out of state visitors have come from Colorado, Wisconsin, and even from Ontario, Canada,” Michelove said. Jim Farley, president and chief executive officer of the Leichtag Foundation, is proud of Leichtag’s association with Farm Lab, through Leichtag’s offshoot – the nonprofit Coastal Roots Farm.

The idea is to get kids into farming, Farley said. He’d like to see the next generation “heavily engaged in growing their own food” and believes programs like Farm Lab are an important step in that direction. Farley called Farm Lab a “transformational experience” that he acknowledged was in the early stages. “We’re just beginning to understand the possibilities here,” he said. “This is the best farm-school program in the country,” said Michelove. “This is where the future of learning is going.” Involving San Dieguito The long-term goal is to turn Farm Lab into a pre-K through adult learning center. What’s missing is a way to continue the learning after EUSD students leave sixth grade. Farley said the San Dieguito Union High School District can help fill the gap by extending EUSD’s program into middle and high schools, to allow students to stay connected to the land. Mike Grove, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of educational services, agreed and called Farley’s ideas visionary. Grove said he sees numerous ways the program could enhance learning, in classes such as AP environmental science, chemistry and culinary arts. He said San Dieguito Academy and La Costa Canyon high schools both have thriving culinary arts programs, and SDA has its own garden. Grove said discussions need to happen with teachers “to make them aware of the possibilities.” According to the United States Botanic Garden, 200 years ago a vast majority of Americans worked in agriculture, but today fewer than 2 percent do. EUSD is trying to do its part to connect future generations more closely with the land. As Farley likes to say, “Farm on!” Part one of this topic appeared in the March 2, 2017 issue.
