Trees to be planted at Encinitas sports park

U.S. Army engineers learn about sand replenishment projects BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Encinitas and Solana Beach city officials hosted colonels from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers March 15 at city beaches to show them the sand replenishment efforts the cities have taken on. During the tour, city officials showed the colonels Moonlight Beach in Encinitas and Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach, both of which have portions covered in cobblestones. The North County project, conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is an effort to bring more sand to the shores to help prevent the bluffs from being exposed to crashing waves, particularly during the winter season, and thus help maintain residential properties and public facilities on the upper bluff. The threat of bluff failures has “forced many private homeowners to build seawalls to protect the base of the bluff,” according to a project document. Another goal is to reduce erosion and shoreline narrowing to improve recreational opportunities, officials said, as well as increase public safety. In 2005, a woman fell to her death after she hopped over a safety barrier at the top of the bluffs in Encinitas. Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear considered this an important local project. “Observing a beach filled with cobblestones instead of sand makes the case for funding the

The project — which has been planned for nearly two decades and includes dredging sand from offshore sites to widen the beaches — is expected to cost nearly $174 million in construction costs over the next five decades, and the cities have agreed to share a portion of the costs with the federal and state governments. The 50-year project was unanimously approved by the two city councils in 2015 and signed off by the U.S. Congress last year as part of the federal Water Resources Development Act.

For the Moonlight Beach project, officials want a 50-foot wider berm, 7,800 feet of sand alongshore, a renourishment cycle of five years nine times and 340,000 cubic yards of sand. At Fletcher Cove, a 150-foot wider berm, 7,200 feet of sand alongshore, a renourishment cycle of 10 years four times and an initial volume of sand of 700,000 cubic yards are all planned. The next step is getting funding from Congress, said David Van Dorpe, deputy district engineer. “Once we complete the design, we can get sand back on the beach,” he said, adding it could SEE CORPS, A22

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Thirteen trees will be planted at an Encinitas park after the city council voted unanimously on March 22 in favor of adding the trees. The 15-gallon Tristania trees — which were first discussed last fall as a way to allow for a soccer club to resume using temporary lights to illuminate the soccer field and pave the way for permanent lights — will be planted beginning next month on both sides of the baseball field slopes at Leo Mullen Sports Park, 951 Via Cantebria, to help block lighting from the nearby soccer field. The new trees will cost the city $2,275 to purchase and plant, and $,1300 per year to trim, maintain and water annually for six years. The agreement for the lights at Leo Mullen — which reopened in September with an artificial turf field — came in November after the council told the Encinitas Express soccer club earlier that year that it had to remove the gas-powered portable lights that it had been using in the park for 13 years. The temporary lights installed at the soccer field spurred debate between the soccer club and surrounding homeowners from the adjacent Cambria at Encinitas Ranch neighborhood, who argued over putting up permanent lights at Leo Mullen. It was discovered during that process that the Encinitas Ranch SEE TREES, A22

San Diego County bans marijuana dispensaries BY KAREN BILLING The San Diego County Board of Supervisors banned medical and non-medical marijuana facilities within the unincorporated areas of the county in a 3-2 vote on March 15. Supervisor Kristin Gaspar proposed the ban in January in the

Man pleads guilty in Solana Beach kidnapping case Man suffers ‘serious injuries’ after being struck by car in Encinitas

BY DANA LITTLEFIELD A North County man accused of attacking a 7-year-old girl outside a Solana Beach elementary school pleaded guilty Thursday, March 16, to felony charges and agreed to be sentenced to more than a decade in prison. Nearly two years after he was first charged in the incident, Jack Henry Doshay, 24, admitted to one count of kidnapping and one count of assault with intent to commit child molestation, stemming from the March 23, 2015, incident. Doshay will be sentenced to 10 years and four months in state prison at a hearing set for May 31. Vista Superior Court Judge Timothy Casserly said the defendant will also be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of this life. According to the District Attorney’s Office,

Jack Henry Doshay (right) appeared in Vista Superior Court with his lawyer James Pokorny to enter a guilty plea on March 16. Doshay attacked the young victim outside Skyline Elementary School in Solana Beach shortly after school had let out for the day.

Investigators said a stranger dressed in baseball clothes approached the girl, put packing tape over her mouth and moved her toward a secluded area near the back of the school. When questioned by the judge on March 16, Doshay admitted he forcibly held the victim and moved her a substantial distance without her consent, facts that supported the kidnapping charge. He also admitted he intended to touch the girl sexually. The girl fought back and was able to get away. After Doshay was charged in the Solana Beach attack, he was indicted on charges related to a second incident in 2010 outside an elementary school in Rancho Santa Fe. Prosecutors contended that a 10-year-old girl SEE KIDNAPPING, A22

A man was seriously injured after being hit by a car in Encinitas in the early morning of March 20, authorities said. Deputies from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department’s North Coastal Station responded to a vehicle-versus-pedestrian collision in the area of Leucadia Boulevard and Town Center Place at about 6:32 a.m., according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Department. A preliminary investigation found a 61-year-old driver was traveling westbound on Leucadia Boulevard when she failed to stop for the red signal at the intersection of Town Center Place, the Sheriff’s Department said. The woman struck a 61-year-old male pedestrian who was crossing northbound on Leucadia Boulevard in the crosswalk, authorities said. The man sustained serious injuries to his right leg and was taken to Scripps La Jolla Medical Center, where he was evaluated and treated. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the collision, according to the Sheriff’s Department. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Deputy Michael Power at 760-966-3590.

Cardiff School District sells $14M in general obligation bonds The Cardiff School District has announced the completed sale of $14 million in general obligation bonds. Series A was completed on Feb. 23, and the funds were received March 9, the school district announced in a news release March 21. The district said this is the first issuance of the $22 million in general obligation bonds that were approved under Measure GG in the 2016 election. The money will be used to help rebuild, upgrade and renovate district facilities, as well as improve energy efficiency and “modernize and enhance student learning environments.” “The Cardiff School District Board of Trustees, staff and parents would like to sincerely thank the residents of Cardiff-by-the Sea for their support in passing Measure GG in November 2016 with a 65.9% approval rate,” said Mark Whitehouse, president of the Cardiff

School District Board of Trustees, in a statement. “We are excited to get the rebuilding project started at Cardiff Elementary. It’s a great honor to have the opportunity to improve the learning environment for the current and future students of the community.” Robert W. Baird, which led a syndicate of 25 separate underwriting firms, was the winning bidder with a true bid interest cost of 3.8 percent in a competitive bid sale. The total debt service associated with the Series A bonds will be $26.8 million. The repayment ratio for the Series A bonds is 1.91 to one, which is lower than anticipated and within the statutory requirement of four to one. Cardiff-by-the-Sea property owners will see an increase of $25.75 per $100,000 of assessed value on their December 2017 SEE BONDS, A22

A total of 878 vehicles passed through the checkpoint, held from 7:30 p.m. on March 17 to 1 a.m. on March 18 in the 1800 block of South Coast Highway 101, according to

Additionally, three people were cited for driving with a suspended driver’s license, six were cited for driving without a license, two were cited for driving with no insurance,

one was cited for driving with an open container in a vehicle and one was cited for driving out of the parameters of a provisional driver’s license, according to the Sheriff’s Department. A total of 10 vehicles were towed during the operation. The checkpoint was funded by a grant through the California Office of Traffic Safety, which urges drivers to report drunk drivers by calling 911.

DICK’S Sporting Goods to open Encinitas store DICK’S Sporting Goods will open its 50th California location in Encinitas on April 7.

Man arrested for ‘annoying a child’ in Encinitas BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Officials from an Encinitas pre-school said authorities incorrectly identified a homeless man as trying to lure a girl from the school last week. Deputies from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department’s North Coastal Station arrested 34-year-old Nemo P. Bailey on suspicion of attempting to lure the 11-year-old girl from outside the school’s gate on March 17. However, officials from the school, Oasis Community School, on March 20 said the man was actually attempting to take some shoes from outside the school’s gate. “The transient did not try to lure a child from the premises,” said Liberty Winn, the school’s director, in a statement. “He stole a pair of flip-flops from outside our gate, and asked my 11-year-old daughter and her friend if the shoes were theirs, before he strolled casually away with the shoes. He in no way tried to lure the children, he did intend to take the shoes.” She said she was initially alarmed “and got a flurry of information from the girls, who were shaken up.” She said she assumed he was trying to lure them out and called 911 with that suspicion. “When detectives interviewed the girls, they (and I) learned that that was not the case,” Winn said. “The investigation shows that no attempt to lure the children was made, and his further activity led the Sheriffs to believe he was not a predator. He made a huge mistake speaking to the children, and will be spending time in jail until a judge decides whether to charge him with the misdemeanor of annoying a child.” Winn said Bailey appeared drunk and was singing, smiling and waving at cars “and taking a very leisurely pace down the street toward the beach.” He was located a short distance away at the volleyball courts near Moonlight Beach and was positively identified and arrested for “annoying a child,” according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. Sgt. Scott Bligh said on March 17 that Bailey told deputies he is homeless, came by train from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and had only been in the San Diego area for about three days. Bailey was booked at the Vista Detention Facility without incident. The case is now being handled by the San Diego County District Attorney, which will decide if charges will be pressed against Bailey, according to the Sheriff’s Department. Bligh and the detective on the case could not be reached for an updated comment on the case by press time.

Meals on Wheels helps seniors in need in North County

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY About a year ago when he got in a motorcycle accident near Bakersfield, Noel Tibbals found his life changed. The 70-year-old Encinitas man who once regularly rode waves suffered serious injuries, mainly to his legs. This resulted in surgery, weeks of rehabilitation and difficulty performing simple, everyday tasks like going to the grocery store for food. He began relying on Meals on Wheels for help. “I’m more mobile than I had been, but it’s still nice having this service,” he said, adding he expects surgeries in the future that could render him immobile for months. “It’s nice having the food come in.” Meals on Wheels San Diego County, which has been around for nearly six decades, hosted Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear on March 22 to show her the organization’s mission. Five days a week, the nonprofit delivers hot and cold meals, up to two a day, to people 60 and over who request the services. The standard fee is $7 for two meals, or $4 for one, but there are fee reductions for those who are struggling financially, said Charlotte Fan, North County Service Center manager for Meals on Wheels San Diego County. Boxed lunches are freshly prepared by the organization’s kitchen, and other meals are delivered from Langlois Frozen Foods in Laguna Beach. Of the organization’s 15 routes, six are in Encinitas. Each route, on average, can have between eight and 20 stops. The City of Encinitas, through federal Community Development Block Grant Programs,

BRITTANY WOOLSEY

Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear, left, delivers a hot lunch with Meals on Wheels to 87-year-old Kathy Brown. provides some funding to assist Meals on Wheels. Fan said the organization relies on the money, especially because the number of people needing its services is growing. About 35,000 meals are served monthly in San Diego County, with one-third being in North County. About 500 individuals are served in North County, compared to under 300 individuals three years ago, Fan said. The funding is currently being threatened by the federal government, with a proposed cut of

$6.2 billion from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, $3 billion of which currently funds the Community Development Block Grant programs, a portion of which goes to Meal on Wheels, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. “I’ll be really unhappy if the federal government cuts funding for this important program for local, needy people,” Blakespear said. “For some elderly people in Encinitas, the meal delivered by this great local organization is the

only human contact they have all day. They fill gaps that we sometimes don’t think about for isolated people.” According to Meals on Wheels America, one in six seniors struggle with hunger, and one in four live alone. Fan said Meals on Wheels is grateful for the city’s support but worries about how the organization will be impacted if that funding is cut. The goal, she said, is to continue with the services to meet the needs of the growing number of seniors who needs it. People like Larry Landos, who has been battling prostate cancer, rely on Meals onWheels. “It’s very valuable to me, because I was accustomed to being able to help myself, and then all of a sudden I couldn’t,” said the 69-year-old Encinitas resident. “I thought this was for people much older than me, but if you get a bad disease, it happens.” Kathy Brown, 87, who gets meals delivered regularly, said she enjoys the company of her visitors five days a week. She said if it wasn’t for the service, she “wouldn’t get to eat as much” because much of her family isn’t around anymore. Linda Britton, who has been volunteering with Meals on Wheels of San Diego County for about two decades, said sometimes the volunteers are the only people these people will talk to all day. “A lot of them are just all alone, and maybe for days, no one ever says hi to them,” she said. “So you’re maybe the only person in a day to talk to them, and it makes us feel good, too.” For more information, visit www.meals-on-wheels.org

Symposium offers latest on breast cancer treatments, research BY JOE TASH oan Lunden was busy with her career as a journalist, author and motivational speaker, and didn’t always get her yearly mammograms on time. In 2014, things changed. “I heard those words no one ever wants to hear: ‘You have cancer,’” said Lunden, a former long-time host of “Good Morning America,” and one of the featured speakers at a dinner symposium held Thursday, March 16, at the San Diego Marriott Del Mar, before a sold-out crowd of 370. “I didn’t think it would happen to me.” These days, Lunden travels the country, trying to raise awareness about breast cancer, current treatments, and the importance of early detection and diagnosis. Thursday’s event, sponsored by Susan G. Komen San Diego, provided her with another opportunity to spread her message. After her diagnosis, Lunden underwent aggressive chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. Her signature blonde hair has now grown back, and she appeared energetic and in full health as she addressed the gathering. “I am now NED – no evidence of disease,” she said to applause. “I’m still here and I’m rocking the boat.” The symposium, called “Screens, Genes and the Choices We Make,” was the third annual edition of the event put on by the Komen organization, a nonprofit that funds cancer research, provides diagnostic mammograms and other services. Along with being a forum for breast cancer education, the event raised $210,000, and the money will be used for such purposes as paying for mammograms for women who can’t afford them, said Laura Farmer Sherman, president and CEO of Komen San Diego. On display in front of the hotel was a mobile mammography coach, an RV painted pink and equipped with 3D mammography equipment.

It goes everywhere women are and helps them out.” The mobile unit is a joint effort of Komen San Diego and Community Health Imaging Centers. Sherman said both reservations and walk-up screenings are available. For information about the mobile unit’s schedule, visit www.komensandiego.org. As attendees dined on kale-beet salad and coconut curry (edible centerpieces made of beets and leeks adorned the tables), Lunden moderated a roster of speakers that included cancer specialist and researcher Dr. Deborah Rhodes of the Mayo Clinic and Dr. Dennis Holmes, a surgeon and medical director of the Los Angeles Center for Women’s Health.

Easterseals to recognize Assemblymember Chavez Easterseals California will honor State Assemblymember Rocky Chavez (R-California, Encinitas) with a 2017 Assembly Leadership Award in Sacramento later this month. The event, slated for March 28, will recognize Chavez for his work to increase services for veterans and their families, the Easterseals said in a press release. Chavez,who was elected to the Assembly in 2012 and represented the 76th district, will also be honored for helping to shape early childhood education and family support. “Easterseals is proud to present this Assembly Leadership Award to Assemblymember Rocky Chavez for his efforts to support education for young

children, college and career training for adults and, of course his strong committed support of everyone who serves and has served in the military. His support for veterans and families has been inspirational,” said Carlene Holden, executive vice president of Easterseals

Southern California, in a statement. Chavez said he is honored to received the recognition. “As former USMC Colonel I take great pride in working with organizations to provide educational resources to our service men and women, as well as their families. I am honored to receive the Easterseals Assembly Leadership Award and I look forward to continuing to work with them on their agenda to support college and career training to Californians,” he said. The Easterseals created the Assembly Leadership Award in 2014 to honor public officials, both elected and appointed, for their work to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities, and for all.

San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer also expressed his support of the Komen organization and its work. Rhodes explained that some women have “dense breast tissue,” which can mask a tumor on a mammogram image, and dangerously delay a cancer diagnosis. She and her colleagues, using duct tape to rig up a prototype model, developed a technique called “molecular breast imaging,” which she said can more effectively spot tumors when women have dense breast tissue. “Mammography does save lives,” Rhodes said. “But I don’t think it’s enough for women with dense breast tissue.” Those women, she said, need an additional diagnostic test, such as an MBI, an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or an ultrasound.

In Lunden’s case, she said her mammogram in 2014 did not detect her cancer, but an ultrasound test showed her tumors. Lunden and Rhodes stressed that women need to know if they have dense breast tissue, so they can discuss it with their doctors. Early diagnosis is linked to higher survival rates, they said. One source of more information is the web site www.areyoudense.org. Lunden said one of her motivations for speaking to groups about breast cancer awareness is to carry on the legacy of her father, a cancer surgeon who died in a plane crash when she was 13. Another motivation, she said, is to repay the kindness she received when she was going through treatment. “It’s not a sorority you necessarily want to join. The initiation stinks,” she said of being a cancer patient. “But the community is so supportive. As a survivor, you want to reach out your hand and help the next woman on her journey. Now is my turn to pay it forward.”

Leucadia woman gets ‘Second Chance’ with new book BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY laire Marti had always longed to write a book, but life got in the way. Various careers, including as a fitness instructor in the North County area, took precedence over the Leucadia woman’s passion for writing. But in January 2010, when Marti was diagnosed with breast cancer, books and stories overtook her life once again. “For me, my biggest escape, if it wasn’t yoga or working out, was reading and escaping into another world for a while,” she said. “I like romances because you know they have a happy ending.” She set her mind to begin her writing career, and began steadily focusing on it when she moved to Denver for two years for her husband’s job. “All of a sudden, it was cold outside and I didn’t have any friends,” she said. “So I found myself with time to just sit down and write.” Marti, who still teaches yoga and pilates classes, will release her first book, Second Chance in Laguna, on March 31. The 200-page story follows a woman who gets left behind at the altar by her fiance, who she learns has been cheating on her. She moves to Laguna Beach to write a novel and start over with no

intention to date, but ends up meeting a man who could tempt her otherwise. Regarding her choice of location for the book, Marti said the city in coastal Orange County is unique, romantic and does not feel commercial. She also said it holds a special place in her heart since her husband proposed there. Marti described Second Chance in Laguna as the perfect book to read while at the beach, by the pool or on an airplane. “It’s kind of funny, it’s light, it’s not a big literary novel,” she said. “It’s more of, here’s your escape for a few hours, especially if you’ve ever been really rejected or cheated on. You’re really cheering for her to get over it and find a happy ending.” She said the writing process — which took about six months — was cathartic because she could pull from personal experiences. She remembered how it felt to be cheated on by an ex-partner. “It was easy to pull up those emotions of when you look at the cell phone bill, and you see someone else’s number a bunch of times,” she said. Marti said she was encouraged by other authors at conventions a few years ago to submit her stories into writing contests. She ended up winning first and third place in

two of them. She signed her book contract with The Wild Rose Press in March 2016. Second Chance in Laguna is the first in Marti’s Finding Forever in Laguna series, with the other two books featuring characters introduced in the debut. Marti said she has already finished writing the second book and has written a first draft of the third book. She also plans to write and release historical fiction books, as well as a larger hardback novel focusing on a romance set in 1920s Paris. “I purposely decided to do the contemporaries first because I wanted to master my craft, get my feet wet and learn as I go,” she said. “I wasn’t ready to sit down and write the epic novel yet.” A public launch party for Second Chance in Laguna is scheduled for April 6 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Stratford House Salon and Spa, 1408 Stratford Court in Del Mar. Champagne, wine, cupcakes and snacks will be served. Second Chance in Laguna is available for pre-order at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Wild Rose Press, iBooks and Kobo in paperback and e-book editions. For more information, visit clairemarti.com.

When I was eight, my father died unexpectedly and the lives of his wife and three daughters changed that day forever. My parents were good, loving parents who would do anything for us. Having always lived a bit beyond their means, our young mother was unprepared for her new reality and she struggled with a mortgage, credit card debt, auto loans and only a secretary’s salary. There was no life insurance and no emergency fund. We moved to a less expensive area and we all changed schools. Our lives went from stable and secure, to latch-key kids. You see, my parents loved and adored us, but they didn’t plan for such an unthinkable outcome. In looking back, I now understand why I do what I do. I now understand the passion behind the planning that I do for individuals and families. Technically, it’s called “financial planning” but truly it is “LIFE planning.” In working with women’s groups, I have come to understand how differently women process and live their lives. We do not separate our personal, professional and financial lives in the same manner as men. If this resonates with you, join me for a complimentary, private conversation and education about your financial life and how you can empower yourself to feel confident and in control.

LIFEMATTERS

Maria Bagby

Therapeutic Literacy Center

I’m the second oldest of nine children and because of life circumstances, I was also the one in the family that was the protector of my younger siblings; so, in some respects, I’ve always been a teacher. School came easy for all of us and was our “safe place.” It seemed natural for me to become a teacher, which I did. I won multiple awards for teacher excellence and continued to pursue more study and obtained three Master’s Degrees but still couldn’t find all the answers. I have always felt that it is our job to create choices for children. They have more choices in their future when they have had success in school. Yet, it seemed that no matter what I did as a teacher, I couldn’t reach EVERY child. So many kids are “smart but struggling” and I became determined to find out why. Unfortunately, traditional schools aren’t resourced to provide solutions for children; so, I decided that I had to leave the school system. TLC was born. The center serves the “underdogs.” “We listen to the child and we go underneath those underlying layers to see why and what specifically is causing the problem; then we make a plan to fix it.” Five years later, TLC has become renowned as a deficit-specific treatment center helping students with and without identified learning disabilities find school easier.

CCA Writers’ Conference

Author urges teen writers to heed ‘the Whispers of Story’ BY SEBASTIAN MONTES eality, we know, can be a tangled, chaotic mess. Mary E. Pearson’s words carried out over the auditorium at Canyon Crest Academy on Saturday morning, March 11, an ingot of truth carefully molded for the 200 teenagers who hung on her every word. The New York Times best-selling author — by way of Carlsbad — counseled and consoled the aspiring writers, commiserating with their fears, waxing poetic on the transformative power of storytelling — at one point “a unique kind of magic,” and later, “the only reason mankind has survived” — and exhorting them not to fall prey to regret for things not done and never tried. It was an ultimatum of sorts, a gauntlet thrown down at the feet of anyone as obsessed with story as she is. “The truth is always there — simmering, whispering, a story that won’t go away,” she said. “It’s a recurring ache within us. Maya Angelou said there’s no agony like bearing an untold story within you. She understands that weight, and so do you. That’s why you’re here … You see images and you hear voices and you don’t need medication for it. A pen or a keyboard is your only cure. You have to answer the call.” Pearson’s words opened CCA’s sixth iteration of its annual Writers’ Conference, an all-day confab of accomplished wordsmiths and 200 students who hope to take up their mantle. The two dozen authors on hand — from playwrights to journalists to graphic novelists — dispensed hard-earned wisdom to the eager horde of aspiring writers, insights into the creative process, fine-tuned techniques from their careers spent stringing one word after the next.

Fantasy author Matthew Wolf leading his workshop at the CCA Writers’ Conference.

Keynote speaker Mary E. Pearson talks with a student while signing a copy of one of her books.

Started in 2012 by then-president of CCA’s creative writing group Devyn Krevat, the conference has grown stronger each year, maturing into a mutually beneficial day of mentorship. That success is due in large part to continued guidance from Devyn’s mother Kathy Krevat — herself an accomplished author — as the conference has grown in size (it includes students from a half dozen schools), sponsorship (organizers believe it to be the only free writing conference for high school students in the country), and prestige (this year’s speakers boasted an all-time high of New York Times best-sellers). “It’s making a name for itself, it’s getting more recognition,” said CCA senior Julia Camilleri, taking a moment from tending to the logistics of her final conference. “We’re being sponsored by a publishing agency this year, which is really cool, and authors are starting to reach out to us ask to speak. It’s a really good experience for young authors and it’s a really inspiring experience. You go home and you are really motivated to start writing, even if you were not much of a writer before.”

Saturday’s workshops saw authors and students sharing insights and struggles alike. Graphic novelist Jim Pascoe invoked an anecdote from his work on Buffy the Vampire Slayer to illuminate how one well-placed image can convey action that no amount of dialogue could. Matthew Wolf explained how seemingly trivial details were the key to conjuring a world as massive yet believable as the one he created in his Ronin Saga. Sylvia Mendoza helped her participants compose a would-be news article about the conference, tweaking variations in structure and tone to tailor the article for different kinds of audiences. James Matlack Raney teased apart the appeal of great — and not so great — action sequences from The Iliad to Sharknado. “I had nothing like this,” Raney, author of the Jim Morgan Books, said after his session, the fifth year he’s presented at the conference. “I just kind of learned through hard knocks. I wrote things that were really bad and I just had to put them out there and people had to tell me they were bad. So to come to a place where I could have learned some techniques

TEDxEncinitas is 'changing voices' at April 1 event TEDxEncinitas, an independently organized TED event, will explore the theme of “changing voices” featuring 12 speakers and two performances, all under the age of 24. “In our ever-changing world, all too often we look to the wisdom of the past to create and shape our future,” said Bobbi Cecio, event organizer. “While there is absolutely great value in the wisdom of those who have walked this journey before us, so is there innate and valuable wisdom to be found in the voices of tomorrow.” TEDxEncinitas invites adults to experience this for themselves by hearing these youth voices.

The event will take place on April 1, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m, at San Dieguito High School Academy’s Clayton E. Liggett Theater (800 Santa Fe Drive, Encinitas). Tickets are currently available to the public for $85 at www.tedxencinitas.com. Consistent with the “changing voices” theme, the audience of this primarily student-run event will be limited to adults. The speakers for TEDxEncinitas range from a fifth grader passionate about equal pay for equal work, to a legally blind eighth grader who competes in both musical and athletic competitions. Other topics include

immigration, activism, American culture, farm animal sanctuaries and more -- all from a youth perspective. TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to "Ideas Worth Spreading," usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or fewer) delivered by today's leading thinkers and doers. Many of these talks are given at TED's annual conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, and made available, free, on TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sal Khan and Daniel Kahneman.

before trying would have been awesome. If you’re a kid and you’re interested in writing, this is the place for you.” Whatever the genre, the authors hewed close to one abiding theme: writing is the only way to conquer its inevitable obstacles. Then keep writing. And then write some more after that — no matter the frustrations and doubts sure to arise. “Oh let me count the ways that fear creeps into a writer’s soul,” Pearson mused in her keynote address. “The blank pages, the endless blank pages. They’re like something out of a Alfred Hitchcock film —square white birds pecking and pecking at you. And then there’s the clock: it’s not ticking, it’s screaming at you.” Complicit with fear is failure, but she hammered home again and again that failure is indispensable to success, summoning adages from towering figures as diverse as Thomas Edison and Michael Jordan, as Lao Tzu and Jim Carrey. In each instance, she said, failure was more than merely unavoidable, it was utterly necessary. For Pearson, fear had its root in her own chaotic childhood, both at home and in the world at large. She recalled the duck-and-cover air raid drills, desks shoved together as supposed shelter for the terrified children huddling beneath. She recalled standing for a moment of silence when news broke that John F. Kennedy had been assassinated. She recalled the images in news magazines of people setting themselves on fire in a mysterious place called Vietnam. Family life brought her no respite. Hers was a childhood filled, she said, by relatives seemingly plucked from the Addams family (on her mother’s side) and the Beverly SEE AUTHOR, A20

Local resident and former MLB star Aubrey Huff opens up in new book BY ROB LEDONNE When local resident and former star player for the San Francisco Giants Aubrey Huff decided to write a book about his life, he had no idea how the experience would soon shape him. “It was a very therapeutic book for me to write,” Huff said about the process. “I was reliving some of my anxieties and depression, and as I wrote I found out a lot about me that I had never known before.” Plus, he joked: “It was way cheaper than a shrink.” The result of those therapeutic efforts is “Baseball Junkie,” a book that encapsulates Huff’s life, in raw and honest terms, throughout its rollercoaster of 268 pages. Huff, who talks about the murder of his father early in his life, to his recent new-found Christian faith, put his ups and downs on full display with the help of co-author Stephen Cassar, whom Huff says turned into a “lifelong friend.” “I think the biggest thing I want people to take away is that no matter how much you

Teen Volunteers in Action SD-1 members volunteer at Coastal Roots Farm Teen Volunteers in Action (TVIA) SD-1 volunteered at the Coastal Roots Farm in Encinitas March 12. The teens worked on the Coastal Roots Farm at the Leichtag Foundation property in Encinitas. The TVIA Teens worked to spread mulch to the newly planted trees and plants on the property and planted seeds for future crops to include corn, beans, zucchini and watermelon.

Drives for Rides golf tourney to benefit foundation The fifth annual Drives for Rides golf tournament benefiting the Emilio Nares Foundation (ENF), a nonprofit that helps families navigate their child’s journey through cancer, will be held on Friday, May 5, at the Encinitas Ranch Golf Course. The event will include a golf tournament with raffles and a silent auction, followed by a dinner banquet, during which guests will hear from an Emilio Nares Foundation patient family. The event will be hosted by “gap intelligence,” a values-led market research firm. All money raised from Drives for Rides will support the Emilio Nares Foundation’s Ride With Emilio program, which ensures that no child misses life-saving cancer treatment due to lack of transportation, a proven need among low-income patient families. Ride With Emilio travels more than 100,000 miles each year to provide 4,250 free, hygienic rides to and from cancer

treatments for patients and their accompanying family members. “We feel so fortunate to have the support of golfers, volunteers and the team at gap intelligence who make this event a success every year,” said Richard Nares, co-founder and executive director of the Emilio Nares Foundation. “This fundraiser is critical in enabling us to support families through one of the most difficult times of their lives.” Golfers are pampered throughout the event, beginning with lunch and opening remarks upon arrival, followed by a popular putting contest with prizes. Throughout the scenic golf course, golfers are treated to a beverage service and ongoing games and raffles. Strategically placed signs along the course remind golfers of how their participation raises funds to benefit young patients fighting for the lives. “It has been a cherished tradition of ours to host this fundraiser every

year,” said Gary Peterson, CEO of gap intelligence. “Our support of the Emilio Nares Foundation reaffirms our commitment to the community, and we are excited for an even more successful year of giving back to such an important cause.” The evening program includes a sumptuous dinner buffet and presentation of raffle prizes and silent auction gifts. During dinner, golfers and their families will also hear from 15-year-old patient Yuntasha and her mother La Toya about the critical role that Ride

With Emilio plays in their journey through cancer. Yuntasha has battled cancer for most of her life. She first overcame leukemia when she was 4 years old, and is now battling a brain tumor. Without Ride With Emilio, one 20-minute trip to her treatment at Rady Children’s Hospital would turn into a 2.5-hour ordeal switching buses and hiking up steep hills, which is unsafe and nearly impossible for Yuntasha, who is already weak from her brain tumor, and immunocompromised from chemotherapy.

“I don’t know where we would be without the support and care of the Emilio Nares Foundation team, said La Toya, mother of Yuntasha. “Yuntasha and I are so thankful for the blessing of being honored at this event, which is so important for helping families like ours make it to their treatment appointments.” Drives for Rides registration cost is $200 per golfer. This includes golf, cart, lunch, beverage service, dinner reception and prizes. Sponsorship packages range from $15,000 to $300, with a suite of benefits. Registration opens at 11 a.m. Dinner banquet begins at 6:30 p.m. To register for the event or to make a donation, visit www.classy.org/encinitas/events/ drives-for-rides-2017/e106593. Encinitas Ranch Golf Course is located at 1275 Quail Gardens Drive, Encinitas, 92024. For more information, visit www.enfhope.org.

Pacific Ridge students raise $10,000 to fund girls education in India

COURTESY

A Million Knots group leaders (from left) Aliya Abudawas, Paige Hellinger, Mirai Patel, Madeline Forgey and Emily Regnery spearheaded the event.

Pacific Ridge School students raised about $10,000 on March 3 to fund the education of 36 girls in India. The students are a part of A Million Knots, a student-led service learning group at Pacific Ridge. About 300 people attended the fashion show, which the students created and hosted themselves. The funds were raised through ticket sales, auction items and donations. For the runway, students designed about a dozen outfits, which they sent to India to be sewn. Group members modeled the outfits and auctioned them at the event. “We’re so happy with the community’s support and the event turnout. Now, we can continue sending girls to school for years to come,” A Million Knots Leader Mirai Patel

North Coast Rep to present 'Travels with My Aunt' North Coast Repertory Theatre continues Season 35 with “Travels with My Aunt,” a 2015 New York Times Critic’s Pick that was hailed as “a triumph of theatrical style.” Giles Havergal adapted the Graham Greene novel about eccentric Aunt Augusta who swoops in and shakes up the life of her staid bourgeois nephew. The result is a life-changing, offbeat odyssey created by four astonishingly versatile actors who tackle more than 20 roles. David Ellenstein directs James Saba, David McBean, Richard Baird

said. Patel is a senior at Pacific Ridge and started the group in 2012. In its first year, Patel and her group members raised enough funds to build and staff a school near Alwar, Rajasthan. They have continued to raise the $2,000 a year needed to run the school. Without their help, the girls would likely not go to school. “They’re not just raising funds for a school, but they’re making impossible dreams come true,” said Project Concern International Senior Director Jerome Sigamani at the event. Project Concern International is a San Diego-based non-profit that manages a separate vocational school in India. Students at that school made the outfits for

the show. Sigamani said that the recognition of the students’ skills by Pacific Ridge students was extremely valuable. “They know that someone in the U.S. not only values them, but recognizes their work,” he said. The majority of the funds will go towards the A Million Knots School with a portion going to the vocational school which produced the dresses. Patel is graduating this year, which is part of the reason for hosting a big event. She and many of the group members will travel to India this spring as part of Pacific Ridge’s global travel program. They will visit the school they support and meet with a number of NGOs in the region.

Local woman brings Hollywood skills to North County kids BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A Solana Beach native is passing her skills learned in various Hollywood jobs to local children. Jolene Bogard, who has worked for 30 years in television as a development executive, director and assistant to an unnamed A-list actor, has been teaching acting classes at the Youth Arts Academy - Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito - Carmel Valley, Polster Branch since October 2015. “I think it’s great to foster kids through the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito’s programs because they do awesome scholarships, and I think it’s just wonderful,” she said. As a child, Bogard, the daughter of former Solana Beach Mayor Marion Dodson, always enjoyed live entertainment. “My parents always took me to the theater as a kid, and I always dreamed of being an actress,” Bogard said. “I never believed in myself and never had the self-esteem for it.” Still, being a part of the silver screen was something she continued to long for. She eventually went to college to study television and cinema, then moved to Los Angeles to work in various production roles before meeting her husband and moving to Huntington Beach about a decade ago. There, she found herself with more time on her hands. Bogard decided to volunteer at the Boys & Girls Club of Huntington Valley, where her stepdaughter was involved in plays. “They needed volunteers, and I told them I had a background,” she said. “They ended up firing the director and asking me to stay on

It was like my job was kind of rooting for me.” She then continued to help put on more shows in roles like stage managing and directing, and learned to love working with children. When she and her family moved back to her hometown of Solana Beach in 2014, she pitched a similar program as the Huntington Valley one to Youth Arts Academy, which she learned did not have a theater program. The classes were approved, and she started off in October 2015 with four students. Now, Bogard, who puts on classes several times a week, has about 40 students and puts on multiple productions every year. She also

offers acting summer camps. “I had a really great response from the kids,” Bogard said. “The parents were like, ‘Wow, you do really good shows.’” Her casts are comprised of kids who audition, which costs $300 per audition, and her students from her classes, which cost $50 to enroll in. Her acting classes take place Wednesdays for 5- to 10-year-olds from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and for pre-teens from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. She also teaches improv classes on Mondays from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. In a production of Into the Woods, she said she was successful in “pushing kids out of their comfort zones.”

But, she said, she will take any child actor in any ability level. “They might not have a lead role, but I try to build off their abilities,” she said, adding she is currently working on a production of The King and I. “I have a little boy named Ryan who’s 8, and he comes to every class and every rehearsal. The other day I gave him a pretty big role. I made him the prince. He was shocked, but I told him I thought he could handle it. He showed me he really wants more, so I decided to challenge him a little bit.” For more information about Bogard’s classes, visit heyjojoproductions.com and youthartssd.org.

f you ever feel like everyone except you knows what makes a tomato an Heirloom tomato you are not alone. Here are answers plus some useful tips. An Heirloom is any tomato grown 50 or more years ago, that has not been hybridized. Heirlooms often have wonderful flavor but very little disease resistance. A Hybrid tomato is a cross between two or more varieties intended to make a better plant or different kinds of fruits. Sweet 100 and Sun Gold are two of the small grape types of hybrid tomatoes that are simply delicious. How big will your tomato plant get? Determinate or Indeterminate or some of both. It’s all in in the name. Determinate tomatoes grow bushy and produce lots of tomatoes at once and then that’s it. They die. It’s not your fault. Great for small gardens, containers or making super good homemade sauces. An Indeterminate tomato doesn’t stop growing and producing. That makes them grow big and branchy. Be sure

There is alot to know about tomatoes! to stake or cage them as soon as possible. This also helps to keep the foliage off the ground and reduces your chances of disease. There are a few tomatoes that are a little bit of both. These are called Semi-Determinate They will produce a main crop that ripens together, but will also continue to produce up until frost. Tip: Do not overfeed your tomatoes with nitrogen. You want fruit not just green leaves and branches. Plant your tomatoes deep. Even the tall overgrown ones. You can bury them sideways and they will

COURTESY

make roots all along the stem. Using a tomato/vegetable fertilizer is a good idea and will feed without putting on too much growth. Regular and even watering is best. Pale or yellowish leaves need more food. Purplish leaves show a lack of Phosphorus. If your tomatoes suffered a slow and painful decline or death last year it was probably the victim of a virus or fungal disease. There are many virus’s and other diseases ready to attack. If you had problems last year plant your tomatoes in a

different place with new soil. Choose a tomato variety that has more disease resistance or has letters after the name. Letters like VFN or TSWV. These are varieties that are more resistant to diseases. The more letters after the name the more diseases you are being protected from. It doesn’t always work but sure help. That huge big ugly horn worm comes from a night flying Sphinx moth. The horn is not a stinger and cannot hurt you. Cabbages and all the cousins are host to the those little green looper caterpillars. Bt is the best spray. The caterpillars don’t just curl up and die immediately. Bt forms a toxin in the gut and it takes a day or so for that voracious muncher to die. Mildew comes on members of the Cucumber, squash and Pea families. It will happen if you live along the coast. When it gets too bad just plant a new plant. One or two Zucchini are enough. Remedies for too many Zucchini? When all else fails drop off a full bag of your squashes on some unsuspecting doorstep. Ring the bell and run. Better yet look up Zucchini recipes on the web and you may even want to plant more. There is lots more about tomatoes and veggies that everyone but you seems to know but the next time that happens you can always use the tried and true escape sentence that goes like this. “Hmmm, that sounds very interesting, tell me more.” – Good Gardening from Mother Evelyn

Treatment options for bladder disorders TO YOUR HEALTH

ore than 25 million Americans live with an uncomfortable condition known as urinary incontinence, or loss of bladder control. Urinary incontinence symptoms range in severity. Stress urinary incontinence is the occasional small leakage of urine while laughing, coughing or sneezing. Urge incontinence is a sudden and nearly uncontrollable need to urinate immediately. Often, people with incontinence are embarrassed to talk about their symptoms or seek help. However, both stress and urge incontinence are common problems, and there are numerous successful treatments available. Men may experience incontinence as a result of an enlarged prostate, aging, or other causes, but 75 to 80 percent of those affected are women. For most women, a combination of several factors leads to bladder issues. The top risk factors include excessive weight gain, increasing number

of pregnancies, the manner in which the baby was delivered, family history, advancing age and, lastly, ethnicity. Treatment for bladder issues depends on individual health and severity of symptoms. Most bladder conditions can be handled by primary care physicians, general gynecologists or urologists. More complex and severe issues may be referred to a urogynecologist. These are specialists who have undergone additional years of training “Asking our patients about urinary leakage is an important part of overcoming the embarrassment that women feel about discussing these issues,” says Varuna Raizada, M.D., a urogynecologist with Scripps Clinic La Jolla and Rancho Bernardo. “Our first step is to have an in-depth conversation about the condition and how it affects the patient’s quality of life, and then perform a thorough exam. Sometimes simple office-based testing may be recommended.” With many patients, Dr. Raizada recommends starting with exercises they

can do themselves to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Kegel exercises, for example, involve repeatedly contracting and relaxing the muscles that help support the pelvic floor. Physical therapy may help as well. A physical therapist trained in pelvic floor rehabilitation may use various therapies, including targeted exercises and biofeedback, to restore the pelvic floor muscles to their proper function. If these treatments aren’t successful, medications and surgical procedures can help. It’s important to work with a knowledgeable physician who can determine the best treatment for you. Learn More About Bladder Health Join Dr. Raizada to learn more about maintaining bladder health at a free educational event, Friday, April 21, 11:30-12:30 p.m. at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla, CA 92037. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps Health.

Nature & Culture International helps Ecuador establish 6.3M-acre conservation corridor Culminating three years of collaboration by provincial and local governments, indigenous communities and Del Mar-based Nature and Culture International (NCI), the Provincial Council of Pastaza, Ecuador, established the 6.3-million-acre (2.5 million hectare) Pastaza Ecological Sustainable Use Area on Feb. 24. This vast area is larger than the state of Maryland and considered by scientists to be one of the most biodiverse areas on Earth. Antonio Kubes, prefect of Pastaza Province, who has been a key proponent for the creation of the protected area, noted that the creation of this reserve will underpin the sustainable development of the region, providing benefits to the local population, while protecting a global resource. Renzo Paladines, director of NCI Ecuador, said, “The creation of the Pastaza reserve is a global example of what local and provincial governments working together with indigenous communities can do to protect vital natural resources while ensuring their own long-term sustainable development and livelihoods.” The newly declared Pastaza reserve, coupled with the neighboring 2.5-million-acre Yasuní National Park, will protect an immense swath of eastern Ecuador s´lowland Amazon rainforest. The area provides essential habitat to a wide range of mammals, amphibians, reptiles and flora. Scientists have documented that this area of the Ecuadorian Amazon holds world records for a wide array of plant and animal groups, from amphibians to trees to insects. A single hectare (2.47 acres) in the region may contain more tree species than are native to the continental United States and Canada combined, according to a 2010 Texas State University study. Another study shows that amphibians, birds, mammals and vascular plants all reach near maximum diversity in this region, and the threatened giant otter can be found here along with jaguars and tapirs. The area is also very culturally diverse, and the establishment of the Pastaza Sustainable Use Area will

The process to declare the Pastaza Sustainable Use Area began three years ago and included extensive consultation processes with municipal governments, indigenous nations and communities residing in the area. NCI served as a technical advisor to the Pastaza government, working in concert with stakeholders to develop baseline data, define reserve boundaries, and provide information needed for establishment of the area. Watershed reserves for three of Pastaza’s largest towns have been incorporated into the core conservation zone of the Pastaza Area. “The creation of the Pastaza Sustainable Use Area is a visionary declaration and a true gift to the Earth,” said Byron Swift, president of NCI. “NCI is proud to be a part of this process, and we look forward to working with the provincial and municipal governments and indigenous nations to protect this area for generations to come.” Visit natureandculture.org

FROM AUTHOR, A10 Hillbillies (on her father’s). “We had all the dysfunctional, dark drama of reality TV on a regular basis, minus the big bucks,” she said. “The drama came complete with death, drugs, alcohol, murder, suicide, abuse and always, always the crisis de jour.” It made her more introspective, more attuned to observation and detail, plunging her into ravenous and indiscriminate reading — magazines from Tigerbeat to National Geographic, encyclopedias, novels, romances, science fiction. She loved Pride and Prejudice and Fahrenheit 451, and, of course, helped herself to a healthy heaping of Hemingway. And then came the seminal moment she pulled The Outsiders off a shelf and finally found herself certain of the kind of writer she wanted to be. “It wasn’t a classic, it had never been assigned in the classroom, it wasn’t even well-known. But it’s a book that changed my world profoundly,” she said. “It was a book that was populated by people I recognized — teenagers — and it didn’t shy away from the uglier and real side of life. … It sounded like my world, and it was a book written for me—not my parents, not my grandparents. I read it multiple times, and I cried every time I read it.” As she headed off to college, she found herself swept up in the power of writing to reveal the truth. And yet, she couldn’t muster the courage to reveal her own personal truth. Her working-class parents —neither of whom graduated high school — would never understand their youngest child wanting to pursue something so impractical. “I was afraid it would be like saying I wanted to be a ballerina astronaut,” she said. “It sounded so unrealistic. College was for jobs with pensions and benefits.”

The life that eventually took shape was one of a dream deferred: married at 18 to an accountant with no literary inclinations and having settled into a job teaching elementary school, her passion for writing smothered beneath a mass of denial and delay. One decade turned into the next, her fears always outweighing her yearning to write, until a relative’s offhand remark one day finally sent her desires into irresistible boil. Her excuses fell away when faced with the prospect of another 20 years of regret. “Real writers write,” she said. “They don’t wait for all the planets to align just perfectly … They snatch the moments they can and they create others. They make it happen, and they don’t let fear hold them back. They don’t think about writing someday; they do it, now.” She hunkered down for an entire year to compose her first manuscript, only her husband and children knowing what she had taken on. She kept her parents in the dark, still afraid of their reaction. Finally, ebulliently, she put that piece of herself out into the world. “Well, the world didn’t love it,” she recalled. “I cried. I panicked. I was absolutely terrified. What had I done? But the one thing I didn’t do was give up, not this time.” Undaunted, she learned to find the value of editors who had strewn notes of encouragement between the lines of their rejection letters. She set to work on the craft of writing, schooling herself on point of view, dialogue, subtext, conflict, foreshadowing. She revised her manuscript and submitted it again. When her book still didn’t sell, she embarked on another, honed through invaluable critiques at her very first writers’ conference. She listened, went home, revised—ad nauseam. Five months later, a publisher tendered her

first offer. “I remember being numb, hanging up the phone after the call, and then crying and screaming and dancing in circles in the kitchen with my daughters,” she said. “It was and it will always be one of my sweetest memories.” Pearson went on to a heralded career as one of the nation’s preeminent youth authors, piling up awards and appearances on best-selling lists. Ten of her novels have now been published, in 20 different languages. The Remnant Chronicles is beloved. The Adoration of Jenna Fox has been optioned for a movie. She recently sold her next two novels on proposal. ”Oh, and my parents know I’m a writer now,” she quipped. But no matter the successes, she said, failure has and will always loom near on the horizon, a specter under which all writers by necessity struggle. “Each of you has your own journey. It won’t be like mine, or the person sitting next to you … You have stories to tell that no one else can — as long as you show up,” she said. “So now I challenge you: go forth, hone your craft, learn, grow, become a warrior of truth, learn to dig deep. Slay us with your honesty. Be wicked, be ruthless, cut to the core. Make your truths cold and hard and hot and sticky and loud, so they are impossible to ignore or deny, so they will make us breathless, make us weep, make us angry, make us fall onto our knees with gratitude that we are not alone. Whether you are writing a dark drama, a sweeping fantasy, a poem or a knee-slapping comedy, remind us with every word what it means to be human and what we share. The world needs your voice. Your stories matter. I was girl and had a calling. So do you. I’m waiting to hear your stories. Be fearless.”

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

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.

Football Foundation awards banquet to be held April 7 The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame — Walter J. Zable/San Diego Chapter will be holding its 45th Annual Scholar-Leader-Athlete Banquet Friday, April 7 at 6 p.m. at the Scottish Rite Center in Mission Valley. This prestigious banquet will be honoring 25 high school and two college football players from the San Diego County for their outstanding effort on the football field and in the classroom, including the Willie Jones Most Inspirational Player Award recipient, Oceanside High’s Mykel Bernal. Here is the entire list of players being honored at the banquet: Yu Jay Kurosu (Torrey Pines High), Mykel Bernal (Oceanside High), Chance Sears (Cathedral Catholic High), Jack Cavellier (Cathedral Catholic High), Graham Valentine (Cathedral Catholic High), Patrick Rutledge (Point Loma High), Noah DiNapoli (Saint Augustine High), Nicholas Demos (La Costa Canyon High), Sampson Niu (Madison High), Tyrese Reed (Mission Bay High), Vincent Alexander Cruz (Mira Mesa High), Dominic Gudino (Olympian High), Keenan McDonald (Imperial High), Quentin Frazier (Mater Dei Catholic High), Eli Shelton (Mater Dei Catholic High), Kayvon Brown (Lincoln

FROM RAISE, A3 the work performed?’” she said before casting her no vote. “Awkwardly, I sit here, having been sworn in just 24 hours ago, and I can be the first to admit that I don’t know how to get past that first fundamental question.” Two months later, it turns out, the newest member of the Board of Supervisors will accept the raise, which goes into effect today, pushing her annual $153,289 paycheck up by almost $10,000 for now with an additional boost coming in December. Gaspar issued a statement explaining her thinking, in response to a question from U-T Watchdog. “While I did not vote for the proposal, this is now the official compensation for supervisors,” the statement said. “Not accepting it would create a disparity among supervisors who all perform the same job serving the public.” That position was criticized by good-government activists. “When she voted no she took a moral stand; obviously that moral stand didn’t mean much,” said John Van Doorn, an electrical engineer from Fallbrook who protested the pay raises before they were approved in January. “Now she has what she needs to say when she runs for re-election — that she voted against the raises,” Van Doorn said. “But in taking the money, it’s kind of an empty claim.” The higher salaries for members of the Board of Supervisors kick in as the county faces a deficit of at least $100 million from its $5.4 billion budget. Last month, board Chairwoman Dianne Jacob warned that looming changes in federal spending under the Trump administration could double or even triple that gap.

notes. “I am living proof that material wealth and things of this world will never make you happy. There has to be something greater for you to live for. For me it is my new-found faith in Christ, and my family.” Funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign, “Baseball Junkie” marks the latest phase of Huff’s life. It’s a happy one at that finds him still living in Del Mar. “We moved here immediately after I retired in 2012,” Huff said. “It was a move

that made little sense. We had no extended family here and I’m a Texas boy at heart, but I have really grown to love Del Mar very much. My wife and I have absolutely fallen in love with our church where we’ve grown in our faith and our marriage. And as an added bonus, I get to coach both my boys’ little league teams.” Adds Huff: “Life has never been better for me than it is right now.” “Baseball Junkie” can be found on Amazon.com.

For decades, the salary paid to county supervisors was set at 80 percent of the compensation paid to Superior Court judges, allowing the elected officials to get periodic pay increases without the spectacle of a public vote on a touchy subject. The action that Gaspar opposed in January adjusted the pay scale to 85 percent, effective March 17. The compensation rate will climb to 90 percent of a judge’s salary on Dec. 7, driving supervisors’ annual pay to $172,450 (or more if judges get a raise in the meantime). The increased salary also will boost the elected officials’ county pensions, lifetime benefits that are calculated by the amount of annual earnings. Simon Mayeski, a San Diego small business owner and longtime volunteer with California Common Cause, said if Gaspar was truly opposed to the pay hike, she would have lobbied her board colleagues against taking the money. “They were getting raises already that were more or less in line with other employees lately, less than 1 percent,” Mayeski said. “Not good enough for them, they voted to increase the percentage. That’s the story.” In supporting the proposed raises, supervisors noted that the salary formula had not been amended in almost 20 years. “San Diego County has the second largest population in the state and in terms of square miles is one of the nation’s largest counties, larger in size than two states,” Supervisor Ron Roberts said at the time. “I am very comfortable this adjustment is fair and justified.” Pay hikes for elected officials are often controversial. One such dustup is playing out in Boston this month over GOP

lawmakers who voted against pay increases for lawmakers, then accepted the money. They are being ridiculed as the “vote no, take the dough” caucus. Some California lawmakers have declined to accept pay raises in a show of fiscal discipline. In 2013, after an independent panel approved pay hikes for state legislators, Sen. Mark Wyland, R-Solana Beach, and Assemblyman Rocky Chavez, R-Oceanside, declined the boost for themselves. “Last time I checked the state still has a structural deficit which we have not addressed as a Legislature,” Chavez said at the time. Chavez said on Friday that he subsequently accepted the salary increase because voters were aware of the compensation package when they re-elected him. “I go back to the theory that as long as people know what they are paying me for the job I’m doing, I will take the money,” he said. Gaspar, a Republican, ran as a fiscal conservative, an approach she also took on the Encinitas City Council. After she was elected supervisor, the Encinitas council in January voted itself a 45 percent raise on a 3-1 vote. Gaspar’s conservative ally, Mark Muir, voted against the increase. Muir did not immediately responded to an inquiry about whether he plans to accept the raise when it takes effect in late 2018. Jeff McDonald is a reporter for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

take a few years for the funds to be approved Heather Schlosser, chief of the Coastal Studies Group, said it will take about two years to design and conduct pre-construction monitoring of the beach, including for habitats and surfing conditions. “We have a little concern for the reefs,” she said. “We don’t expect any environmental impacts in Encinitas but we do expect some potential in Solana Beach. We’ll be monitoring both sites for potential impacts.” Construction could conceivably start after those two years, Schlosser said. Col. Peter Helmlinger, who was present on the tour, said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wants to continue to partner with the cities to “lead a successful project.” “At this point right now, it’s been raised to the next level for action to keep the project moving,” he said.

property tax bill. The final maturity of the bonds is in 2046 and the average life of the bonds is 23.6 years and no capital appreciation bonds were sold as per board policy. The District’s series A bonds were priced competitively after S&P Global assigned the series A bonds an ‘AA+’ long-term rating using updated information on the District’s credit profile. S&P Global also raised its long-term rating and underlying rating (SPUR) to ‘AA+’ from ‘AA’ on Cardiff School District’s existing unlimited general obligation (GO) bonds. Cardiff School District also announced that Leucadia resident Randy Peterson has been hired as the district’s bond program manager. He will provide program management for all aspects of the Measure GG bond program, the district said. The district’s Board of Trustees also appointed an Independent Citizens Oversight Committee that will monitor and provide oversight of the district’s use of the bond proceeds. — Submitted press release

told investigators in 2015 that she was 5 when a man lured her to a shed at Solana Santa Fe Elementary School to look at a “white bunny.” When the girl was behind the shed, the man grabbed her by the hips, turned her around and tried to remove her pants, prosecutors said. She screamed and kicked her attacker in the groin. He ran off. After a lengthy hearing, Judge K. Michael Kirkman dismissed two felony charges, both involving a lewd act committed on a child, along with allegations that Doshay committed crimes against more than one victim. Defense lawyers Paul Pfingst and James Pokorny had argued that the description the 10-year-old gave of her attacker did not match Doshay, and that prosecutors failed to present all available evidence related to that issue to the grand jury. They also said a sheriff’s deputy who went to the scene of the incident when it was reported in 2010 and questioned the girl, determined later that the incident was “unfounded,” meaning no crime had been committed. On March 16, the victim in the 2015 incident in Solana Beach had a front row seat in the packed courtroom with her parents and other supporters when Doshay pleaded guilty. And when it was over, she leaped into her mother’s arms for a big hug.

FROM TREES, A1 Specific Plan (ERSP) prohibited lights at the park. Most of those issues were worked out in October when the council agreed to amend the ERSP and pushed through applications for the proper permits for permanent lights at the park. The council at that meeting also directed staff to go forward with a tree-planting plan and a plan for installation of locking gates. Then-Mayor Kristin Gaspar said it would likely take at least a year and a half to receive state approval for the lights because the fields are next to a natural habitat and are within the state commission's coastal review zone, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. Council member Tasha Boerner Horvath proposed the idea of using shade cloth in the meantime to provide shade while the trees are maturing. Jennifer Campbell, the city’s parks and recreations director, said that idea can be explored, but the Tristania trees grow rather fast and will be planted by mid-April.

FROM DISPENSARIES, A1 three existing medical marijuana collective facilities and two other vested facilities to become nonconforming and would need to cease operations within five years. The board also voted 4-1 to extend the moratorium on the establishment of medical marijuana collective facilities with Roberts voting no. “I feel very strongly that we ought to be establishing medical marijuana facilities in keeping with the state initiative,” Roberts said. “The ban is an attempt to have an excuse not to have anything, I’m not going to vote for that.” Roberts and Cox favored the “reasonable” compromise proposed by the planning commission. The planning commission did not recommend the ban and instead recommended limiting dispensaries to five existing operating facilities, banning new additional dispensaries and to consider future ordinances in 2018 when state regulations are in place regarding cannabis farming in agricultural zones. In January, the city of San Diego legalized recreational pot dispensaries and opened up the possibility to allow farms, manufacturing facilities and testing labs. There are 15 dispensaries throughout the city; the closest location in North County is on Roselle Street in Sorrento Valley.

FROM SCHOOLS, A3 Decker said flexible learning environments — which can be easily converted with items like moveable furniture — can be part of the answer. In November 2016, Solana Beach voters approved Measure JJ, which replaced or upgraded aging, outdated classrooms, science labs, libraries and school buildings. Decker said the 60-year-old Skyline Elementary School will break ground on modernization in June. The construction will take place over the next year, when students will be displaced and many of them will go to Earl Warren Middle School across the street. Solana Highlands Elementary School and The city of Del Mar has an existing prohibition in place for both medical- and non-medical marijuana- related businesses, and the city of Solana Beach also has a ban in place for medical marijuana cultivation delivery and dispensaries. At the over three-hour hearing March 15, the supervisors heard from 49 speakers, the majority opposed to the ban, including medical marijuana patients, business owners and farmers. Those in favor asked the board to seek a compromise that preserved access. Borrego Springs resident Jake Fredericks said as the country is in the middle of a prescription drug overdose epidemic, medical marijuana is an alternative that helps people fighting debilitating disease, pain and chronic disorders. “Regulation is the appropriate response to deal with the safety concerns of the community, the will of the voters and the patients’ needs,” Borrego Springs resident Jake Fredericks said. Some in favor of the ban, including several parents and Judi Strang, the executive director of the San Dieguito Alliance for Drug Free Youth, spoke about their current fight against the “normalization of pot use” among kids. The speakers were not against using marijuana medicinally but against the “commercialization” of marijuana.

Solana Pacific Elementary School will also undergo modernization, Decker said. Improvements include a nutrition initiative and solar panels over parking areas. Dill said flexible learning environments have proved beneficial in the high schools. “We’ve created a bunch of boxes when we created our new classrooms, knowing that years from now there could be something completely different that we want to utilize those rooms for,” he said. “We don’t want to be constrained by our furniture and the cabinetry.” He also formally announced there would be no lottery selection for the high schools, at least for the next year, partially due to various bell schedules to accommodate student and parent needs. Chris Brown, who represented the Ramona Community Planning Group and small businesses affected by the ban, said while youth marijuana use and abuse is “troubling and concerning to us all, it is not the result of medical marijuana dispensaries.” In voting against the ban, Supervisor Cox said that his biggest fear is that the county could see an initiative placed on the ballot to deal with medicinal and non-medicinal marijuana facilities that could take away county control and possibly result in even more proliferation of facilities. He said such an initiative would be posed to see strong support as 57 percent of county residents supported Prop 64. “We will have basically abdicated our ability as a board to regulate the use of medical marijuana,” Cox warned. “It will be the logical consequence of this board taking action imposing this ban.” Chair Dianne Jacob said people only need to look to Colorado to realize that the legalization of marijuana has been a “disaster” and hasn’t produced the amount of revenue that it was believed to have generated. She said Colorado has seen an increase in marijuana-related traffic accidents, an increase in marijuana-related emergency room admissions, an increase in youth use and the black market has also surged as the number of drug cartels has

Outside the courtroom, the girl — now 9 — described her attacker as a “big bully” who had frightened her and hurt her feelings when he told her she would never see her mother or father again. “I wish I had the chance to tell the judge to put Jack in jail for a long time,” she said, reading from a white piece of paper covered in plastic. “I was 7 years old when this incident happened, and now I am older. I am confident that the judge did make the right decision on how long to put him in prison and what will happen next. “I am glad police caught him and he’s going to prison now so I don’t ever have to see him again,” she continued. “Like Dr. Seuss always says, ‘Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.’ I’ll always have that memory that I got away and he messed with the wrong girl.” At the end of her statement, she thanked Deputy District Attorney Ryan Saunders and the investigators who worked on the case, as well as family and friends who had supported her throughout the ordeal. And she gave a special thanks to her brother, who had taught her how to fight back. Doshay, the son of a former investment banker who is a minority owner of the San Diego Padres, remains free on bond until sentencing. — Dana Littlefield is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune In Encinitas, Baird said the district is currently “finishing out” the $44 million bond extension approved in Proposition P, which voters approved in 2010 to upgrade Encinitas elementary schools. The district would continue to develop and design its Farm Lab, which is essentially the district’s version of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education, he said. A teacher-collaboration program was also recently approved, Baird said. “We’re in a bubble in our North Coastal area of the kinds of amazing work that’s going on,” he said. “This idea of empowering our teachers to do more and expand what they’re doing is really something you’ll find in all of our districts.” increased. “If voters in California truly knew what law enforcement knows and the Colorado experience, they would not have voted for Prop 64,” Jacob said. “I firmly believe that marijuana use is detrimental to the health of kids and further actions to legalize marijuana would subject them to the many detrimental health effects that marijuana is associated with,” Jacob said. “A ban is in the best interest of public safety and the best interest of the people and the kids in our communities.” Since Gaspar’s proposal for the ban in January, she said she has been subject to a level of “non-civil discourse” including communication that she should be shot, that she is an unfit mother and that she wants to send cancer patients to jail. Gaspar said she is sympathetic to the impactful patient stories she has heard and has plenty of exposure to the issue from patients at her physical therapy practice who have benefited from medical marijuana use. Gaspar said it isn’t the board’s job to debate whether medical marijuana is helping patients — she believes that it is — but it is more about looking at the fiscal impact and the negative impacts on youth. She said with the hundreds of medical marijuana patients she has interacted with, no one has brought up a lack of access.

Recently they have helped La Mesa schools get text books and art supplies and have made 2 donations to the Susan G. Komen foundation. Whether you hire them to sell your home for only 2%, help you buy a home, or hire them to help with any remodeling, they are unique in that you do not pay until you are 100% a happy home and then they make the donation on your behalf. California Happy Homes provides hold-your-hand personal service, does good clean work, delivers a great experience and they help pay it forward to the local communities through their charitable donation. Joe Tropiano the owner, is a San Diego native and has witnessed the power of pay it forward in the Bay Area and knows the feeling of truly helping both homeowners and the local community is powerful and fantastic. Joe comments “It is a feel good

feeling that is spreading and folks are loving the business model.” He has committed the same model to San Diego. Joe started his business wanting to create a one-stop shop model as the worlds of real estate and remodeling are synergistic but can be overwhelming, but a client can have less stress and more options with one point of contact for everything involved. Joe wanted to change the stigma attached to contractors by giving a white collar polish to a blue collar world. With his genuine care for all customers, strict business procedures and 100% customer service, the model is working and he is changing the industry for the better one California happy home at a time. Visit www.californiahappyhomes.com or call 619-633-8955. If you are going to buy-sell or remodel why not use a company that pledges to give back and guarantees their services to make you a California Happy Home! “Pay it Forward” meaning via Wikipedia: An expression for describing the beneficiary of a good deed repaying it to others instead of the original benefactor. “Seeing a small business like California Happy Homes give back however it can is an example of good ethics and a model all businesses should use. Imagine what good we can all do if we work together and pay it forward.” - Mayor’s Office (San Francisco)
