As 6 year old girls, Olive and her friends would pretend to be horses by jumping over hurdles, like chairs and broomsticks, with just their legs. Over the next few years, Olive took the hobby further by incorporating her arms into the jumps. “I kind of just picked up this thing where instead of being on two legs and jumping over hurdles, I kind of just bear-crawled

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Dozens of Encinitas Unified School District (EUSD) students recently broke ground on an environmental project that began three years ago. The fifth- and sixth-grade student interns from El Camino Creek and Flora Vista elementary schools — dressed in orange hard hats and bright safety vests — presented their projects aimed at helping the environment and reducing stormwater pollution on March 29 and 30. These projects were designed by students as part of the 2014 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), an annual yearlong, science-based program, which guides fifth and sixth grade students to produce a SWPPP plan for their school site. The interns put the projects together well enough to earn the large Drought Response Outreach Program for School (DROPS) grant from the California Stormwater Quality Association, worth $700,000. Though the SWPPP Internship Program is being offered at all nine EUSD schools, the students at El Camino Creek and Flora Vista were the first to break ground on their projects. Bill Dean, the SWPPP internship founder and principal, said he was proud of how far the children have come in learning about and working on this effort. “Our first group of 14 interns at El Camino Creek began discussing ideas for expensive BMPs that would work at their school site,” Dean said in a statement. “Today, those ideas are becoming reality. It has been thrilling for me to accompany these interns on this real world journey of installing a bioswale with rain tanks in order to improve water quality while saving water. The interns worked with the surveyor, the civil engineer, the landscape architect and the contractors. And now they will watch the project be constructed.” SEE PROJECT, A17

Encinitas to reorganize departments to speed up services BY BARBARA HENRY Both the city’s planning and public works departments will be reorganized in the coming months to create a “one-stop” faster-processing spot for development applications. The restructuring proposal, which received initial approval from the City Council last week, was put forward by City Manager Karen Brust. It calls for transferring the city’s engineering division and storm water functions out of the city’s Public Works Department and into what’s now called the city’s Planning & Building Department. That department would be renamed the city’s Development Services Department, a move that puts Encinitas in company with about a third of San Diego cities, Brust said. It should also help speed permit-processing times because all development-related services will be handled in one department, she said. The city now takes three to four weeks to start processing a permit request, and she’d like to get that below two weeks, she said. Brust, who became city manager in September 2015, said that in her time with the city it has become evident that restructuring of the Public Works Department is needed. That department now contains six divisions and is spread over multiple locations. Leading it has been described as a “huge responsibility” by people filling in on a temporary

basis, Brust said. “It was really apparent that we needed to make some changes,” she said, adding that the city has the opportunity now to make her proposed changes because of several department leaders have left in recent months. The city lost its public works director — Glenn Pruim — late last year when he become general manager of the Vallecitos Water District. They’ve had no luck in the months since obtaining a good-sized pool of qualified candidates for the position, city human resources manager Jodene Dunphy said, mentioning that she sent out 1,500 flyers announcing the job and posted it on various job-hunting web sites. Brust said she believes filling the job as it’s currently written is a huge challenge because it requires both the skills of a typical public works department leader, who handles street repairs and city vehicle maintenance issues, as well as someone with development planning skills. That’s in part why she’s recommending the restructuring of the two departments, she said. She added that even with this restructuring, obtaining qualified candidates may be difficult. In response, the council, in a 4-1 vote with Councilman Mark Muir opposed, agreed to grant Brust up to $60,000 to use the services of a headhunter to fill the public works director’s position and the currently vacant planning director

spot. Muir said he thought Dunphy could adjust her advertising plans for the two positions and thus save the city the headhunter expense. Dunphy and Brust told him that someone who specializes in finding department managers in many cities would be a benefit in this particular case. The other council members said they wanted a headhunter’s expertise to get both jobs filled as quickly as possible. “In this particular instance, I am going to support (the funding request) ... timeliness is very important,” Councilman Tony Kranz said, mentioning that two of the city’s top leadership positions are both vacant at the same time. Brust said that using a headhunter’s services wasn’t a common practice in Encinitas, saying she knew that the city used one to fill the city finance director’s spot before she was hired as city manager, but didn’t know of other examples. She said she plans to proceed with the restructuring in mid-May after the council reaffirms its initial vote. Besides the changes in department director job descriptions, the restructuring will include changes in job duties for employees in both departments and some vacant positions will not filled, she said. Barbara Henry is a reporter for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

The Encinitas Arts, Culture and Ecology Alliance (EACEA), the City of Encinitas’ partner in rehabilitating and activating the former Pacific View elementary school, recently announced that the Leichtag Foundation has granted $25,000 to EACEA to support a part-time program manager. The Leichtag Foundation recognized the potential synergy with the ecology and arts focus of Pacific View and its work at the Leichtag Commons and Coastal Roots Farm. The Leichtag Foundation’s gift is meant to inspire others to be generous in supporting Pacific View as well. The former Pacific View School, on 3rd Street in downtown Encinitas, is being transformed into a center for arts, culture and ecology. Plans are under review at City Hall for the entitlements and permits needed to refurbish the existing school building and grounds to create a wonderful community resource for education, inspiration, and relaxation. The Encinitas Arts, Culture and Ecology Alliance (EACEA), a 501(c)(3) charitable trust, has been operating with volunteers, including board members and local residents. EACEA has received grants from the County Board of Supervisors, the Surfing Madonna Oceans Project, Encinitas Friends of the Arts, Synergy Arts Foundation and many generous individuals. EACEA holds monthly volunteer work parties at the site in downtown Encinitas on the last Saturday of each month. — Submitted press release

Del Mar, Encinitas and Solana Beach nominated for environmental awards BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY The cities of Del Mar, Encinitas and Solana Beach are being recognized for their efforts to be environmentally friendly as “Agents of Change” in the Climate Action Campaign’s NightCAP Annual Awards Celebration on April 12. The award — one of three categories announced for the event — honors public institutions that move toward 100 percent clean energy Del Mar is nominated for unanimously adopting its 2016 Climate Action Plan, while Solana Beach is recognized for being one of the first cities in the region to choose Community Choice Energy as a key climate solution. Encinitas is nominated for exploring and leading a joint Community Choice Energy program across North County cities. In addition, Encinitas Environmental Commissioner Jim Wang is also nominated for an “Unsung Hero” award.

According to the Climate Action Campaign, Wang is “a champion of bold climate action by persistently pushing forward the Community Choice Energy and Climate Action Plan efforts in Encinitas through his role on the Encinitas Environmental Commission.” “I am simultaneously pleased, humbled, flattered, honored and surprised by this prestigious nomination by as noble an organization as the Climate Action Campaign,” Wang said in an email. “And a little sheepish and puzzled, too, that someone considered me in the same company as my co-nominees Dr. Bruce Bekkar and Micah Mitrosky.” People can cast their vote for the awards at climateactioncampaign.org/ nightcap2017/. A ceremony will be held April 12 at 5:30 p.m. at Moniker Warehouse, 705 16th Street in San Diego. Tickets are $100 and VIP admission is $150.

The San Elijo Lagoon rail bridge and tracks that cross through the San Elijo Lagoon are scheduled to be replaced and double tracked in this first phase of the North Coast Corridor project.

Double-track project to add artistic flourish to Cardiff BY BARBARA HENRY A regional construction project that’s adding a second track along San Diego County’s coastal rail line will bring the low-key Cardiff community some artistic attention and name recognition. Under the proposed plan, Cardiff’s name will be spelled out on the posts of a new railroad trestle bridge, which will replace a 60-year-old wooden structure across San Elijo Lagoon, and a proposed retaining wall along San Elijo Avenue will showcase a public art project that reflects the community’s beachy vibe. The Encinitas Art Commission will work with the San Diego Association

of Governments and the North County Transit District to design the art for the retaining wall, the Encinitas City Council decided two weeks ago. Mayor Catherine Blakespear, a Cardiff resident, said she’s envisioning a design featuring giant waves to reflect Cardiff’s surfing culture. Art commissioners will need to think big, she said, so the project is visible to passing motorists along the nearest roadway — Coast Highway 101 — west of the railroad tracks. “It’s going to be seen from a big distance away, so it has to be a broad (image) ... not a little tiny .... design with little fish or something,” she said. “It

has to be big and dramatic, so you can see it.” Blakespear and Councilman Tony Kranz met with SANDAG officials recently to discuss design options for the proposed wall after receiving a request from the Cardiff 101 Main Street business association. The association had learned that the wall was originally proposed to be a “very Caltrans-looking,” freeway-style wall and wanted that replaced with a “living wall” with space for plants, Blakespear said. SANDAG officials have informed the city that they can’t tweak the design and replace the concrete wall with a “fully plantable” SEE BRIDGE, A17

Athena recognizes women, businesses working in STEM BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A San Diego organization is recognizing women working in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math — otherwise known as STEM — and offering them support in businesses that can typically be dominated by male employees. Athena, which was founded more than two decades ago and has offices all over San Diego County, is a volunteer organization that women in technology and life sciences positions are generally recruited into through their employers, said Cheryl K. Goodman, executive director. The mission is to promote and recognize women in STEM, as well as provide leadership skills and networking opportunities, Goodman said during a recent interview at Athena’s Carmel Valley office. “Men are very good at this,” she said. “Not to say that women are inferior at this, but women certainly are underrepresented, and it’s difficult if you’re a female CEO to find someone who understands your problems.” Athena, which has more than 1,000 volunteer members, will hold regular CEO dinners for female leaders to discuss their issues and concerns. Most of the problem-solving has to do with the businesses’ human resources departments, Goodman said. The best way for someone to get involved with Athena is for their company to approach the organization to help with its employee base through sponsorships, she said. “If [businesses] have goals internally to have more engineers or scientists, then we help them through our negotiation classes,” said

Women in STEM are honored at a past Athena Pinnacle Awards event. Goodman, who co-founded SoGloMo, a 360 degree marketing firm focused on mobile and social marketing. “It becomes a membership that the companies will extend to the employees.” Athena will also regularly invite influential people, such as a former head negotiator for the FBI, to talk to women about how they can help in their careers. “When this guy is negotiating, he’s negotiating for life and death,” Goodman said. “And when women are negotiating, they’re negotiating for the corner office. We bring in the best to share those skills and strategies with the community at large — hyper-focused on

An elegant addition to bunnies and colored eggs.

women — because there’s a correlation between lack of negotiation and women earning less.” The biggest event the organization holds each year is its Pinnacle Awards, where women in STEM careers are honored and five high school females looking to pursue careers in STEM are given scholarships. This year’s Pinnacle Awards will take place May 4 at the Hyatt Regency in La Jolla from 5 to 9 p.m. Individual seats cost $290, and tables cost $2,500 for 10 seats. Early registration is encouraged in anticipation of the event selling out, Goodman said. Female STEM workers will be recognized in

categories such as Individual in Life Sciences, Individual in Technology, Individual in Services, Individual in Education, Company/Organization, Biotech Startup and Tech Startup. Industry leaders — both male and female — are also honored at the event. “I think one of the biggest misconceptions about a women-supported organization is that our target market is only women,” Goodman said. “The reality is we work with men, and what we like to do is identify champions.” But STEM is still a growing yet underrepresented field for women, she said. Goodman said Athena hopes to inspire young girls to pursue such careers. “It’s kind of a chicken and egg thing,” she said. “Data suggests that by eighth grade, a girl has made up her mind about what she can and can’t do. It is in that time that most girls decide they can’t be scientists because that’s what boys are good at. Our goal is to partner with organizations to council, train and inspire girls in schools to pursue careers in STEM.” For this reason, she hopes parents will bring their daughters to the Pinnacle Awards. “It’s an event where every young person will get to see the spectrum of innovation and what that looks like,” Goodman said, adding that now more than ever it is important for women to represent themselves in leadership roles. “We are a nonpartisan organization... but the culture we are living in today really highlights how important it is for women to be in leadership.” For more information about Athena, visit www.athenasd.org.

BILY San Diego offers support for parents BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A San Diego single mother struggled with her teenage son. The boy suffered from mental health problems and marijuana abuse. After unsuccessfully going through several outpatient treatment programs and short-term treatments, the mother was desperate for another outlet to help her family. It was then that she discovered the Because I Love You (BILY) San Diego program in Encinitas, which is a support group run by trained volunteers for parents who have become challenged by their children. “I wanted a peaceful home and I needed support to help me make changes to achieve the peace I needed,” said the mother, who preferred to remain anonymous. “Everything I have done has helped put me on the trajectory toward peace in my home. BILY has been instrumental by providing support and suggestions in a non-judgemental forum. BILY has served as my co-parent and has helped me to stay accountable and enforce family rules with minimal conflict.” BILY, which has built chapters throughout the United States since the 1980s, started its San Diego group about seven years ago. The group meets every Monday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Seacoast Community Church, 1050 Regal Road. The meetings are free, and about 20 parents regularly attend. Although the meetings take place at a

The group supports parents with children who are struggling from problems, like substance abuse and mental health issues, and offers resources to help the parents figure out a plan that could work for their families. The children are not present at the meetings as the meetings are focused on the mothers and fathers. More than 700 families have been helped in San Diego since the

Gina Sisca Hazlett BILY San Diego Executive Director group started, Sisca Hazlett said. She said she believes the program gives the parents hope. One of the key elements of the meetings, she said, is parents don’t just discuss their issues. They are given plans each week to

ease the problems at home. “The minute they come in, you see the change,” she said. “It helps them to have an action plan. It empowers them. It gives them peace. Even if things are still chaotic, there’s this peace that comes with having a plan and knowing how to move forward.” An Encinitas mother, who did not wish to provide her name, said a friend recommended BILY to her when her son’s grades were slipping and he was becoming very defiant and getting into trouble with the law. She said BILY has effectively helped her marriage and her family’s situation. “My husband and I learned and keep learning more communication strategies with our family and with each other,” the woman said. “We are on the same page with regard to discipline and our son is doing so much better.” For more information about BILY, visit http://www.bilysc.org/encinitas.

Historical Society kicks off Heritage Tree fundraising campaign The Encinitas Historical Society (EHS) is starting its campaign to raise funds for the much-needed undergrounding of electrical lines leading to the Encinitas Heritage Tree at 406 Fourth Street. “For the past 22 years dedicated citizen Luis Ortiz had brought together volunteers to donate funds to light the magnificent 75-foot star pine tree during the holiday season,” said Carolyn Cope, president of EHS, in a statement.

Jim Filanc from Southern Contracting assisted Ortiz last year as well. The Historical Society has now taken over this community project and is soliciting donations through its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. “Our fundraising goal is $25,000 to pay for the meter pedestal and the underground improvements,” Cope said. Once the work is complete, the electrical usage will be a fraction of the cost from the

past years, when a temporary pole had to be installed and removed yearly as well. “With a flip of the switch our beloved seasonal tree can continue to delight those along our coastline, on both land and sea,” Cope said. The Historical Society’s goal is to complete this project by the end of summer so everything will be ready to go for the “Lighting of the Tree” ceremony set for Friday, Dec. 1. The Park Dale Lane Chorus will

provide their special performance just prior to the ceremonial lighting of the tree as citizens enjoy free hot cider, compliments of the Encinitas Historical Society.

Leucadia resident among exceptional UC San Diego Faculty honored by Chancellor’s Associates The six winners of the 2017 UC San Diego Faculty Excellence Awards were recognized by the UC San Diego Chancellor’s Associates at a ceremony held April 6 at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, in the Robert Paine Scripps Forum for Science, Society and the Environment. Leucadia resident Patricia Rincon, senior lecturer of theatre and dance, was honored for excellence in community service. “All of this year’s award recipients have distinguished themselves as extraordinary scholars and mentors who have enriched the UC San Diego community through their Patricia dedicated pursuit of excellence, Rincon service to their students and commitment to inclusion,” said Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla. A UC San Diego press release stated the following about Rincon: “Bringing our region’s cross-border culture to light via dance has been Patricia Rincon’s passion since joining UC San Diego in 1976. Her teaching is enriched through her worldwide professional work as a choreographer, guest artist and lecturer. As artistic director of the Patricia Rincon Dance Collective, she is known for adventurous programming and cultural investigations using multi-media, live music and performance art. Her projects include the Blurred Borders International Dance Festival and the

immigration documentary film series, “Latino Now: Landscape of Desire.” Her interest in K-12 education led to the research and publication of “Physical Activity in Youth Dance Classes” in the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics. In 2016, she received the KPBS Hispanic Heritage Month Local Heroes Project Life Achievement Award.” “Patricia Rincon’s history as a teaching artist has deep roots,” said Allan Havis, a professor in the department of theatre and dance who nominated her for the award. “Developing outreach opportunities for our campus and department has been an important element of her vision. Professor Rincon has distinguished herself as a model artist, mentor, educator and community benefactor for cultural enrichment straddling international borders.” Honorees are nominated by their academic peers for their exemplary contributions to the university with final selection by members of the Chancellor’s Associates, a group of donors recognized for their annual gifts to UC San Diego which support faculty research through programs like the Faculty Excellence Awards and scholarship support for undergraduate students through the Chancellor’s Associates Scholarship program. Winners are selected based on their academic achievements, reputation and impact on students and the academic community. Each awardee receives a commendation and an honorarium in the amount of $2,500. Visit www.ucsd.edu.

Encinitas Educational Foundation announces partnership with Sullivan Solar Power

La Jolla Cultural Partners

The Encinitas Educational Foundation and Sullivan Solar Power are partnering to implement a solar program that will positively impact the Encinitas and Carlsbad communities through education, financial support and the expansion of renewable energy adoption. As a part of the partnership, Sullivan Solar Power will donate $500 per resident that installs solar with the company through the program, with the goal of generating $500,000 in cash donations to the Encinitas Educational Foundation. To kick things off, Daniel Sullivan, president and founder of Sullivan Solar Power, presented a $5,000 check to the Foundation at the Community Partners Symposium recently at El Camino Creek Elementary School. “We are very happy to be partnering with Sullivan Solar Power. They are a leader in solar power in San Diego County with an excellent reputation and highly-trained electricians performing all installations,” said Jay Bell, president of the Encinitas Educational Foundation, in a statement. “The educational opportunities being offered to our community, families and, most

We look forward to implementing the solar program.” Education plays a large role in Sullivan Solar Power’s vision, which is to fundamentally change the way people generate electricity. In response to a growing demand for independent and accurate facts about solar power for homeowners, the company will host solar seminars for Encinitas Union School District and Encinitas Educational Foundation staff, parents and community members. These seminars are designed to provide

attendees the facts and a better understanding of solar technology, battery storage and integration, available incentives, financing options and societal benefits of solar. “The impact of this partnership is significant and multifaceted. It makes the world a better place for our children by helping families save money each month, lessening local air pollution, decreasing fossil fuel consumption and reducing our carbon footprint,” said Daniel Sullivan, president and founder of Sullivan Solar Power, “We are excited to partner with the Encinitas

Educational Foundation to assist in raising funds for the amazing projects Eninitas Union School District offers while helping empower students and the community members through education." Sullivan Solar Power employees have given a handful of solar lessons to fourth-grade students at various Encinitas Union School District schools. The company will continue to support the solar curriculum for the district with programs like the annual Junior Solar Sprint, where middle school students build and compete solar-powered model cars. Through this partnership, students will also benefit from a donation of a solar power system at the school’s Farm Lab, which provides educational experiences to the students interconnecting the importance of nutrition, agriculture and ecology.

Encinitas women to hold dance concert April 19 BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Two Encinitas choreographers will showcase their talents in a county-wide dance festival this month. Heather Glabe and Sadie Weinberg, who each live in Encinitas’ Village Park neighborhood, will present “Split Bill,” a dance show choreographed by the two women, on April 19 at White Box Live Arts in San Diego. The show is part of the San Diego Dance Theater’s Live Arts Festival, which takes place April 12 - 23. “It’s a great opportunity for us to be able to focus more on just making the work and less on securing a venue and all the pieces that can come into play when we’re putting a show together on our own,” Glabe said regarding being a part of the festival. Weinberg added that as a result of being in the festival, she felt the women were part of a “huge discussion” about what kinds of dances people are making, what the aesthetics are and what the questions are that the dancers are raising. For their one-hour show, Glabe and Weinberg will showcase several modern dance pieces that will be backed with live and recorded music. The work fluctuates between choreographed movements and improvisational dances to allow the performers to show their personality and creativity, said the women, who met each other at a dance class in Carlsbad. “I think the way we’ve really been approaching it is as a split bill, where we’re showing our own pieces,” Glabe said. “We just have found that we have similar questions and

Weinberg, who teaches dance at MiraCosta College, said she has noticed a spike in dancers in North County. “It seems there are a lot of us who, as we get older and move into motherhood, we tend to move more north,” she said. “It’s becoming a little bit of its own community where it used to be that the

dance community was primarily downtown, but it’s starting to percolate up in North County, particularly in Encinitas.” The performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. on April 19 at White Box Live Arts, 2590 Truxton Road on the second floor. Tickets are $20 for the show. For those interested in seeing all the Live Arts Festival shows, a pass is available for $120 to see all 10 performances.

21st Annual Meet the Chefs benefit is April 23 The 21st Annual Meet the Chefs event will be held Sunday, April 23, from 1:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m. at the Hilton San Diego/Del Mar (15575 Jimmy Durante Boulevard, Del Mar, 92014). This culinary experience treats over 350 guests to sample signature dishes from over a dozen premier restaurants and chefs in San Diego, complemented by an extensive selection of wines and champagne. The Hilton’s poolside area lends a beautiful atmosphere to enjoy an afternoon of fantastic food, wine, auction items, opportunity drawings, and live music by Legal Tender. All proceeds raised will directly benefit Casa de Amparo.

A VIP reception includes an exclusive live auction, champagne and wine tastings, hors d’oeuvres, valet parking and admission to the main event. The VIP reception takes place from 12:30 p.m.-1:30 p.m., then transitions into the general admission event. For questions or more information, please contact Christine Ciccosanti at (760) 566-3560 or cciccosanti@casadeamparo.org. Visit www.casadeamparo.org. The mission of Casa de Amparo, according to its website, is to “support those affected by and at risk of child abuse and neglect, through a range of programs and services that promote healing, growth, and healthy relationships.”

The courtesan Violetta has finally found true love, but will dark currents of family judgment and illness doom it from the start? Set in the Roaring Twenties, Verdi’s most beloved opera is filled with memorable music and heartbreaking drama.

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

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.

FROM PROJECT, A1 Contractors will begin installing several bioswales — or drainage retention areas — on the campuses over spring break. New rain barrels will also collect and store runoff during large storms. The students — who often described themselves as “valuable members of SWPPP” in speeches — presented their projects in front of parents, school employees and Encinitas and Carlsbad city officials at groundbreaking events March 29 and March 30. The students also dug into the schools’ lawns with shovels to symbolize the groundbreaking. “I think SWPPPs a great thing, and we can really help the environment when we do it,” said Jack B., a fifth grader at El Camino Creek at the school’s assembly on March 29. “It just helps everybody around us, makes the ocean cleaner, saves animals, keeps the beaches open for people and keeps the drains clean. ... It’s scary that the ozone can be destroyed.” The kids said they recognized the

that’s proposed to go across the lagoon will have just the right number of support posts so that each one can hold one letter of the word “Cardiff,” Blakespear said. The design for that artwork is already done. “The truth is, the people who will see this are surfers — the people on the water — but it’s cool,” she said as she looked at the bridge design, which also will feature silhouette images of diving pelicans. Blakespear said she hopes that city art commission members will create the actual design that’s used for the proposed retaining wall, saying she believes there are several people on the commission who might be able to draw a design. Kranz said he thought the commission might decide to obtain the services of an outside artist, saying having the commission create the work rather than simply approving a proposed design would be “fairly challenging.” Barbara Henry is a reporter for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

jump and run like a horse. “At first, Steve Harvey was really confused when I told him I run like a horse,” Olive said. “Then I showed him.” An arena was set up for the girl with several jumps where she got to show off her talent. “When I got over the first jump, the look on Steve’s face was just completely shocked,” Olive said. She said she wasn’t really nervous to be on the show and enjoyed the star treatment she received. “It was so weird having your own trailer and people pampering you,” she said. “I could get used to that.” Olive — who her mother said weighs about 100 pounds — fears she might not be able to continue the hobby as she grows bigger and gravity becomes more of an enemy. Her mother, Kara Chine, said she is

proud of her daughter. “She’s always been a character,” the mother said, adding that going on the show and submitting the applications was all Olive’s idea. “I’m proud that she takes initiative like that. She’s very independent, creative and she’s just a great kid.” Kara Chine said that on Instagram, sometimes people will call her daughter names, but Olive just brushes it off. Most of the comments are positive, she said. “She honestly doesn’t care,” the mother said. “She just has the toughest skin and she has all these other people who are so supportive and big fans. I think that was the thing that shook me the most. There are more people out there in the world that think this is cool like we do.” Olive’s episode of Little Big Shots airs April 9 at 8 p.m. on NBC.

value of their work and how their efforts will positively impact the environment. Wyatt L., a fifth grader at Flora Vista, said he hopes to benefit vegetation through this project. “This project will be great for the environment because all of the plants will take all the pollution out of the water so only clean water will go into the parking lot drain,” he said in a statement after the school’s assembly on March 30. “If we didn’t have this project, all the yucky, polluted water would go down the drain and harm all of the ocean animals and pollute the ocean.” El Camino Creek Principal Jodi Greenberger said she has enjoyed watching the children learn and grow with this project. “Educationally, this is hands-on learning at its best,” she said. “Just to see what they’ve done as far as their communication skills and collaboration is incredible. What they are doing for our school and for the community is even more amazing. To see their passion for the environment

and environmental stewardship is incredible.” Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear said she was proud of the students and their commitment to the project. “The knowledge they’ve gained from participating will stay with them as they analyze our world and make future career choices,” she said. “They also will buy-in to solutions that minimize the contamination that makes its way into our drains, which is a critical part of raising the next generation of environmental stewards.” Lina T., a fifth grader at El Camino Creek, said she was excited to take a project like this on at such a young age. She wants to inspire other kids to do their part to help the environment. “Overall, it doesn’t really matter about your age,” Lina said in a statement. “If you want to make a difference, and you believe in it and get help from your school, you can really make a difference if you just really put your effort into it.”

OUR READERS WRITE Just another after-school program? In Spanish, “casa” means “home,” but I’m sure many of you know that. What you probably don’t know, is what Casa de Amistad provides for children and families in our community. It is a second home built by mentors who help students reach their potential. Casa de Amistad (Casa) was formed in 1997 to improve the literacy skills and academic achievement of at risk children and teens in coastal North County San Diego. Since then, Casa’s mentoring program has grown from serving three students on the first night to over 230 children, teens and their parents annually. Through my involvement with the Del Sol Lions Club, I have been fortunate enough to volunteer for Casa on multiple occasions and saw firsthand what a substantial difference they make in students’ lives, both academically and personally. I am a public relations and advertising

student at Chapman University and last semester I was assigned a project in my statistics class that required me to collect and analyze data. Math has never been my best subject, so I figured if I was going to be invested in this project, I would have to report on something I cared about: Casa. With the help of Nicole Mione-Green, Casa’s director, I digitized and analyzed 185 parent and 143 student surveys from the 2014-2015 academic year. The goal of my research was to quantify Casa’s effects on its members to definitively determine if it was actually helping at risk students. After eight weeks of recoding and analyzing the survey results, I had my answer. I found that Casa truly was helping underserved students. In fact, 70 percent of Casa’s parents do not have higher than a middle school education and 59 percent of them live below the national poverty line. For the parents of Casa’s students, education is one of the most important things in life and they do all they can to help their children succeed. Casa recently implemented a Parents in Action program which gives parents the

stare into the fire, jabbing it with my poker. It’s been a long holiday week. My kids came home from cities far away, I turned another year older, and caught a vicious cold. Why I’m so content as I poke among the embers I can’t explain. It’s so unlike me. With laundry running for four days straight, crusty food on dishes piled up in the sink, doors slamming and showers running continuously, I should, given my previous pattern, have been royally annoyed. But I don’t care. Although I’m on Day Six of this cold and the bridge of my nose still feels like it will explode, I’m oddly satisfied. The kids are good kids. Sure, they have no regard

Corrections •In a March 31 article about an alleged incident that occurred at a March 25 Capri Elementary School fundraiser, the organization that hosted the Run for the Roses Spring Auction Gala was incorrectly reported. The event was hosted by the Encinitas Education Foundation. •In a March 31 story titled “Adult students captivated by top professors,” a reference to a novel by Ralph Ellison should have said its title is “Invisible Man” (not “The Invisible Man”).

for water conservation, general neatness, or normal sleeping and eating hours, but they are good kids. They came up the walkway with smiles and laughter, their arms filled with bouquets of flowers for my birthday, reminding me that birthdays, which I used to dread, are now most welcome. I am now the age my mother was when she died. So my next birthday, when I surpass her age, will be even more welcome. And it will be one year this month since my father died. So there’s a sense of mortality certainly. But it’s more than that. There’s also a sense of peace that’s beginning to settle in. Instead of anxiety and worry about what might happen if … or what could develop when … or how it could have happened if only … I now have fewer regrets and more gratitude. Leaving our mark on the world is for all but the tiniest fraction of the population a pipe dream that will never come to pass. We influence our little circles of acquaintances, family and friends, but for almost all of us, that’s it. And suddenly, in a peaceful sort of way, that’s acceptable. I was reminded how fleeting our lives can be when I got it into my head to tell my kids everything they would need to know about me and our possessions after I die. It wasn’t even morbid, just practical. But as I took out a few rings and trinkets from grandmothers, mothers-in-law, sisters and

opportunity to learn positive parenting strategies, attend programs addressing community needs and leadership training. Because of this, I looked into parents’ effects on students’ academic outcomes. The data showed that in addition to Casa’s tutors, getting parents involved in their children’s education through this program yielded an immense increase in students’ academic performance. Overall, my research proved that Casa’s mentoring program has a significant positive influence on student’s academic success, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Moving forward, I hope to do more research to determine how to improve the program so Casa has the means to help as many students as possible. To be a part of this incredible nonprofit organization, you can attend their annual fundraiser to benefit Casa’s students on Saturday, April 8, at the Fairbanks Country Club. You can also donate or apply to volunteer to be a mentor by going to their website: http://www.casadeamistad.org/. Katie Page cousins – and told the stories about each item and who it belonged to and why it was meaningful – I looked up and saw the blank looks on their faces. They weren’t being rude; they tried to understand and empathize. But I realized at that moment that they will never know who their grandmothers really were, since they both died long before my kids were born. Great-grandparents? Forget it. It’s one thing to try to impress upon our children the generational longing we have for our ancestral history, and to teach them how they are part of a long line of people who each had lives full of hope and love, despair and pain. How do we impart to our children the desperation for the freedom America offered after hardships unimaginable in other countries from which they escaped? How can I describe the fear that drove immigrants to sew gold and jewels into the linings of their clothing, to run from their homelands with nothing but what they could carry, leaving family and customs and language behind, in pursuit of a dream that for many never could be realized? How do I tell my kids how one little piece of silver may have meant life or death for their ancestors, great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents who, had they not been successful in reaching the Promised Land, neither I nor my children, nor my yet-to-be-born children’s children, would exist? Never be Pope Living in the same house for 21 years, a place where we raised our children, can be a trap. So as we prepared to move away, going through all the collected minutiae of our lives, the detritus that has accumulated over the decades, served to remind me so painfully of how much time has gone by.

But even that, the stuff that used to keep me awake at night, like the mosquito, is losing its grip on me. I’ll never be Pope, a rock star or a famous athlete. Not a famous novelist or a renowned political activist. What have I done with all those years? I have a group of readers who like what I write (sometimes), and a very vocal group who will be overjoyed to never see this column again. But my absence will not be missed for long should I disappear. My editor, bless her heart, allows me the freedom to write when I am inspired.

Free Flight is a unique exotic bird sanctuary located in Del Mar, open to the public seven days a week.

I’ve become a mom, a wife, a writer, a decent daughter, and a loyal friend. Will I be remembered after I’m gone? Maybe for a little while. But not long. I’ve seen how people are mourned, and then time passes and life goes on. They are not forgotten, but nearly so. And that – as my husband’s Aunt Ida said after she had her debilitating stroke – is that. We each leave our mark – and hope our children will remember.
