Artist paints music mural at former concert bar “ F ” BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY our years ago, Bar Leucadian was still known as a local destination for concerts. When its live music license was revoked after some trouble with the law, the bar was forced to close earlier and the performances stopped. Artist Michael Rosenblatt is paying tribute to the musical sounds that once filled the establishment. The Carlsbad man is about halfway through painting a mural outside the bar dedicated to musicians from around the San Diego County area. “A lot of the other murals here are great in their own way, but nobody has thought of doing one dedicated to musicians in this area,” Rosenblatt said as he applied a coat of fresh paint to

the 20-foot-by-50-foot brick wall on the side of the bar on a recent Friday. The piece, which he started in late March and expects to be completed in mid-May, features about a half dozen musicians, mostly from North San Diego County and Encinitas. He considered this a way of paying tribute to the musical talent in the area. Though the work has a different theme than others in the area — Rosenblatt has worked on multiple murals in San Diego County , including two others at

Bar Leucadian — the colors and ocean themes seen around the city are still prevalent in the piece. Prior to painting the mural, Bar Leucadian worked off a one-day permit to host a party with live music for fundraising for paint supplies. The event raised thousands of dollars, Rosenblatt said. “There were lines out the door,” he said. “I’ve never seen so many people come here.

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Encinitas is barreling forward with its booze crackdown. After years of wrangling, piecemeal measures and mounting uproar from neighbors along the Coast Highway 101 corridor, the Encinitas City Council on Wednesday, April 19, signed onto a package of sweeping reforms that focus on bars and restaurants with on-site alcohol service. The wide-ranging package of reforms includes: Alcohol service to stop at 10 p.m. for new businesses along the coastal corridor, with possible later cutoffs once they prove their good behavior; establish a noise ordinance downtown and update the standards elsewhere; stiffer fines for code violations; and measures to curb party buses and the long lines of patrons waiting to get into bars. But for the coalition of residents who have railed against the changing tone of the coastal corridor, the most important aspect is the “deemed approved ordinance,” which will allow the city to enforce nuisance codes according to uniform standards across the city. The Encinitas Planning Commission plunged into the issue in October. That culminated on April 7 when the commission presented a set of eight recommendations. The council on Wednesday broadened some of those recommendations and tweaked others. They want to include Cardiff and Encinitas Ranch in the forthcoming analysis and to pay for the new enforcement regime by hitting problem businesses with fines, rather than setting a flat fee on all businesses that serve alcohol. “It has to be the violators that pay for that increased enforcement. The businesses who are doing well, who don’t need that enforcement, shouldn’t be paying a yearly fee for being able to serve alcohol,” said Councilwoman Tasha Boerner Horvath. SEE ALCOHOL, A17

Grad student rides the waves to research surfers’ bacteria BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN C San Diego chemistry graduate student Cliff Kapono has surfed waves all over the world, collecting body surface and fecal samples from fellow surfers to answer the question: Do those who surf in different oceans and seas have the same bacteria and/or chemicals? An aggregate of microorganisms (including bacteria, fungi and viruses) inhabit the human body and, in some cases, are essential to its functioning. But there are other organisms living on humans that, whether or not they make people sick, are harmful. “There have been studies that show people who recreate in the ocean are more likely (than those who do not), to become exposed to harmful bacteria,” Kapono said . “So we have reason to believe surfers might be exposed to harmful bacteria, and we want to be able to identify some of this bacteria, and if so, we can point to sources of exposure and this knowledge may help us keep our beaches cleaner.” In fall 2016, Kapono embarked on a worldwide adventure to surf in remote places and connect with surf communities to ask for samples to bring home to analyze at the UCSD labs of biologist Rob Knight and pharmacologist Pieter Dorrestein. He named his project the “Surfer Biome” and visited England, Ireland, Morocco, San Diego, San Francisco and Hawaii, from where he hails. “I usually spend a few sessions surfing with people out in a place, I make friends, and then, hopefully, they’re willing to

associated with wet and dry weather. “The general purpose of that study was to see whether surfers got sick at similar rates as swimmers in the ocean,” he explained, “The conclusion was surfers did get sick at similar levels as the general population who went in the ocean.” The Surfer Health Study concentrated on gastrointestinal illnesses, but also “surfers usually talk about sinus infections, ear infections, rashes and infected cuts,” Wilson said. Kapono said he grew up surfing in Hawaii, and from this passion the idea for his thesis research was born. “My mentor Pieter Dorrestein provided everyone in our lab (the opportunity) to apply the technology we had available to something we were passionate about, and he knows I’m passionate about surfing. He gave me the opportunity to ask, ‘How can we apply this (technology) to surfers?’ So we sat down and talked for a few hours about how we could apply the resources and research, and then we came up with the Surfer Biome project.” Kapono said all the samples he collected in San Diego (including one he donated) came from La Jollans — more specifically, surfers from Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

UCSD graduate student in chemistry, Cliff Kapono, who is researching ocean bacteria , surfs at Black’s Beach, Jan. 17. participate,” Kapono said. “It’s easier to recruit (surfers) in water than on land. Once you’re out in the water, for the most part, there’s not as many rules. It’s just you and the other person in the ocean.” The collected samples have been sequenced (transformed into data) and Kapono is in the process of analyzing the data. He hopes to get results by the summer, and then include the results in his thesis and earn his Ph.D. “We expect to find molecules (in common) as a result of a lifestyle around the beach — whether it’s bacteria from the ocean or chemicals from sunscreen, these are some of the things we expect to find, but there’s no evidence so far.” Rick Wilson, a senior scientist at San Diego

Surfrider Foundation, said the study sparked his interest. “We’re (curious) to see what Kapono determines, whether there’s such thing as ‘surfer biome,’ or if their biomes are uniquely different in different locations.” He added that he would be “surprised” if there was a unique set of bacteria that all waveriders shared worldwide. “You would think that there would be differences, because there are different things and levels of pollution in the various oceans — population densities and such.” Wilson said he participated in the three-year Surfer Health Study conducted by Southern California Coastal Water Research Project and published in September, 2016 that followed surfer illness rates, as

Solar School

Local schools like Cathedral Catholic reaping benefits of solar panels on campus BY KAREN BILLING Cathedral Catholic High School recently completed work on its 1.1 megawatt solar system on campus, housed on carports over the school parking lot. The system is expected to help the school achieve savings of $80,000 to $100,000 a year in its electrical energy costs. The project was commissioned on Valentine’s Day in February and the school held an official ribbon cutting and blessing of the solar system on March 14, reinforcing Cathedral’s mission of educating students about the importance of “caring for the earth and its people through the use of renewable energy and other smart environmental strategies.” “We’re focusing on being a green school. We want to be responsible citizens and good caretakers of the earth. That’s part of our commitment as Catholics,” Cathedral Catholic President Stevan Laaperi said. “The savings we realize as a result of going solar will reduce our energy costs and help keep tuition increases to a minimum. This will enable broader community access to the amazing education we provide here at Cathedral Catholic.”

COURTESY BAKER ELECTRIC SOLAR

The Cathedral Catholic solar project is projected to save the school up to $100,000 a year in electrical energy costs. The Catholic Diocese of San Diego had asked Cathedral to look into solar as a possibility, particularly if they could find outside funding. Baker Electric Inc. offered Cathedral creative financing for the system through a power purchase agreement. With the agreement, the school hosts the system that is paid for and owned by a third party, purchasing energy at a lower rate — Cathedral has the option to purchase the system outright in six years. Over the last two years, Baker has been responsible for all of the civil, electrical and structural design of the project, made to complement the school’s building colors and façade,including the incorporation of brick.

“We’re were very pelased by the asethetics of the project,” Laaperi said, noting they are not obtrusive structures and blend with the school’s Tuscan architectural style. According to Scott Williams, director of commercial solar for Baker Electric, the Cathedral project is one of over 22 solar projects for educational facilities they have completed in San Diego County. By the end of 2017, they will have built an estimated total of 5.89 megawatts. As Cathedral’s system is 1.1 megawatts, it shows how significant the project is. “It’s the largest photovoltaic system we’ve built for a school in San SEE SOLAR, A20

Nag your children and keep them safe, local physician says BY JOE TASH One of the most important duties for the parents of teenagers, according to Solana Beach family medicine physician Ellen Rodarte, is to nag their children. “We have to constantly nag them and warn them about the risks of things. That’s our job,” said Rodarte, who practices at Sharp Rees-Stealy’s Del Mar medical center. “They are supposed to be Dr. Ellen Rodarte annoyed with us and say ‘leave us alone’ and we are supposed to nag them.” In particular, said Rodarte, 43, teens need to be reminded of the risks of using drugs and alcohol and sexual activity, topics that may be uncomfortable for both sides. And the recent ballot measure that legalized marijuana for recreational use in California means that the potential dangers posed by the drug must be reinforced for young people.

Rodarte, who grew up in Solana Beach, went away for medical school and then came back to practice, sees everyone from newborns to adults in her practice. But she has a special message for the teenagers who come in to her clinic. “Every teen visit is an opportunity to talk to families about two important subjects - drugs, alcohol and tobacco, and the other is sexual activity,” she said. It’s especially important to talk to teenagers about risky behaviors and their consequences, she said, because the part of the brain that can understand consequences doesn’t fully develop until a person is in his or her early 20s. “It’s just how their brains are built. Their brains are built to crave risk, said Rodarte. “They are at high risk to do bad things in their teen years. We know in medicine that we have to talk to teens about some of these risky behaviors and what the consequences are.” Rodarte said she will start the conversation with both teens and parents present, and then ask the parents to leave so that she can speak to the teens privately. Confidentiality rules prevent her from sharing what the teens tell her, unless SEE CHILDREN, A21

Angels Foster Family Network helps children in need of homes BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY More than eight years after fostering a little boy, Terra Jones and her husband still have a place in the child’s life. The Encinitas couple, who also have two biological daughters and adopted another girl a few years ago, began fostering the boy, who was four months old at the time, through Angels Foster Family Network in San Diego. Jones said fostering was a good way to give back. “We decided it was a good opportunity to do what we wanted to do, which was help children in need,” she said. The boy, who came from a household with domestic violence, was with the Jones family for 11 months. But after reuniting the boy with his mother, who was in the military, the family continued to be in his life by watching him while the mother was deployed. And each time he visits Southern California, he calls the Jones house home for a weekend. “We developed a really good relationship with his mom and were able to support her,” Jones said. “We’ve been a real support and resource to her. That encouraged us to keep going. It’s just been really neat to see him grow up.” Over the course of five years, beginning in 2009, the family fostered four children, including the boy. Their time with the children ranged from two-and-a-half weeks to two-and-a-half years, which was

In a photo taken a few years ago, Terra Jones’ daughters pose with their former foster brother, who they connected with through Angels Foster Family Network. when they were fostering the girl they eventually adopted. Jones became a board member at Angels after the adoption. “We love the way that Angels focuses on attachment of the young kids, particularly under the age of 2, and just really giving them a strong basis for a future, whether

they’re with their birth parents or they’re adopted by someone,” she said. The families maintain relationships with the birth families during the fostering process, she said. Each family has to be screened with background checks and psychological tests, and must prove they are financially stable.

Families may foster one child or sibling set at a time to better create a bond. Fostering situations can last anywhere from a couple days to more than two years, depending on what the court decides. Jones said Angels, which receives calls from Social Services regarding children needing homes, has a “deep need” for more foster parents. “We’re turning away kids every day,” she said. “The county calls, and we have to say we can’t provide families for these kids. We want to be able to say yes to every child that needs a home.” An effort to raise funds for Angels will take place May 12 at the nonprofit organization’s Putting on the Ritz event. The evening, which takes place from 6 to 11 p.m. at the US Grant Hotel in Downtown San Diego, will include dinner, an auction and dancing. Proceeds will go toward funding for Angels. “There are a lot of expenses to providing the proper training for these families to be well-equipped to provide a loving home for the kids,” Jones explained. “Funds also go toward support groups for the families. There are just a lot of expenses on top of what the county can provide. This kind of event is important to keep Angels going and to bring more families in.” To purchase tickets and for more information, visit www.angelsfoster.org/fosteringfutures/

Woman going through chemotherapy completes Encinitas Half Marathon

COURTESY

La Jolla Cultural Partners

Dana Sobotka, who is actively going through chemotherapy, right, crosses the finish line of the Encinitas Half Marathon with friend Christopher Coats.

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Three minutes of running. One minute of walking. Repeat. More than three hours later, there’s the finish line. Not Dana Sobotka’s usual pace. Tears stream down her cheeks. “Are you OK?” an Encinitas Half Marathon race official asks. Sobotka’s cheeks move upward, and she uses her hand to wipe away the tears and sweat. “I’m more than OK,” she responds, still smiling. “I’m better than chemo.” For the 41-year-old San Diego woman, running had been a regular part of her life since childhood. She often participated in races with friends, and they would usually schedule half marathons months ahead of time. Last October, life threw Sobotka a curve ball when she discovered a lump in her breast while showering. In mid-November, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. How could this have happened? Sobotka was a runner. She was the person who ate organically and drank water from glass bottles. Cancer doesn’t discriminate, she learned. “It was really hard when I got my diagnosis,” she said. “But I ran a half-marathon three days after I found my lump because that’s just how I dealt with it.” Sobotka persisted. After waking up from her double mastectomy surgery in January, the

doctors told her the disease had spread to her lymph nodes, which meant chemotherapy. “I’m putting poison in my body when I don’t even put anything with high-fructose corn syrup in my body,” Sobotka said, angered. By the time she found out about the chemo, she was already signed up for the San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon in June, which would be right around her peak doses of the treatment. She was unsure she could still take part in the race. Then, she found out about the inaugural Encinitas Half Marathon, which her friends were also participating in. She signed up for the event, which was held March 26, two weeks after her first round of chemotherapy. Knowing she couldn’t run in the same manner she used to, she set a timer with intervals. Three minutes of running. One minute of walking. Repeat. It wasn’t the usual pace she was used to, but Sobotka — dressed in pink gear adorned with breast cancer ribbons — was proud of herself for participating, even if it meant finishing toward the end of the race. Her time clocked in at three hours and three minutes, nearly an hour past her personal record, which she earned just after her 40th birthday. “Last year was about getting my personal record, and this time was about

honoring my body,” Sobotka said. It wasn’t that long before when Sobotka learned that staying active was still allowed and encouraged during her therapy and battle with cancer. After participating in LIVESTRONG fitness classes — held twice a week for cancer patients and survivors at the YMCA — Sobotka was relieved to learn from her instructor, Jen Foley, that exercise was, in fact, supported and “evidence-based” for those battling the disease. “There are so many benefits to exercising during cancer treatment and even through chemotherapy,” Sobotka said. “It is different than years ago where it was all about rest. And, for sure, there are days where you need rest but getting out there and doing some exercise actually helps to combat the fatigue.” Most days — between taking care of her health and her two young daughters — Sobotka said she will try to go out for a walk. Though she can’t run or exercise with the same ability she’s used to, Sobotka said she is still happy to be able to be active. “To think about something that’s been a part of your identity and getting that taken away from you when there are so many other things you can’t control... that’s the one thing I can control,” she said. “I can control whether or not I can get myself out there. One foot in front of the other still gets you to the finish line.”

They will not be surprised to learn of the accolades recently bestowed upon her. On the occasion of National Nurse Practitioner Week in November 2016, the North County chapter of the California Association of Nurse Practitioners awarded her their Nurse Practitioner of Excellence Award. She went on to receive two more awards. On March 21 at its annual educational conference, the California Association of Nurse Practitioners honored her with the Nurse

Practitioner Bridging Health Care Needs Award. In June when the American Association of Nurse Practitioners meets for its annual conference, in Philadelphia, Silk will be among the nurse practitioners from each state recognized with the AANP State Award for Excellence. She has had a very diverse clinical career and has been instrumental in the development of the role of nurse practitioner through her advocacy and leadership. Since the beginning of her career, she has sought to provide care to the poor who are without any healthcare. She found her calling to SEE TRIFECTA, A21

Surf documentary ‘Secrets of Desert Point’ to premiere at film festival BY SEBASTIAN MONTES The camera opens on grainy 16 mm footage panning right across exotic tropical landscapes — a lush countryside, ancient temples, an austere island of rock and jungle rising from a heavy sea. Cut to a left-curling wave, churning clean and steady and seemingly without end. So begins the new surf documentary Secrets of Desert Point by Opper Sports Productions in Solana Beach — a story 40 years in the making, drawn from season after season of unspoken excursions to the unmapped beach surf pioneer Bill Heick and his friends discovered on the southwest tip of Lombok island, far beyond the furthest outposts of the surf scene that had erupted out of nearby Bali and Java in the 1970s. “It’s one of the last great dirt-bag adventures of the 20th Century,” said director Ira Opper. “Today, surfing is about sponsorship, professionalism, surf camps — it’s kind of a cushy world. Back in the day, it was about exploration, adventure, travel. This story signifies everything that’s great about the soul of surfing. You go out and you discover a spot. You keep your mouth shut, because you want to surf a perfect wave with your buddies. That’s the ultimate experience.” Heick’s hardscrabble crew — known as the Golden Beards in Indonesian surfing circles — managed to keep their secret for a decade. But as certain as Desert Point’s unforgiving riptide, their once-hidden spot would go on to become world-renowned. The story of that discovery, however, will

Bill Heick filming in the 1970s.

Golden Beards portrait in early 1980. come to light for the first time when “Secrets” makes its debut April 24 as part of the Newport Beach Film Festival. The project marks a departure for Opper Sports Productions. For more than 20 years, Opper has been producing some of the most widely recognized surfing content online and in television formats. This 45-minute documentary is his first foray into feature-length filmmaking. Opper hadn’t seen Heick in more than a decade before he showed up at Opper’s door in 2015, a hard-drive in hand, loaded with hour upon hour of never-before seen footage. Heick had wanted merely to

compile the footage into a sort of vanity project for that band of merry surfers. But once Opper realized the trove of footage at his disposal, he brought on a production team that included writer Steve Barilotti, Encinitas-based editor-at-large for Surfer Magazine, and editor Julian Clark, whom Opper had discovered when judging a La Jolla High School film festival. What the team built from those archives reaches back to Heick’s trips with his father — legendary ethnographic filmmaker William R. Heick — to document dance rituals of little-seen cultures on the other side of the Pacific. From there unfolds the

story of surfing and survival in its most feral forms, camped out months at a time, year after year, on a malaria-infested beach. It took 18 months and more than 800 hours of editing to winnow that footage down to the 45-minute documentary that will premiere next week at Newport. “Sometimes the passion of the project overtakes any obstacle,” Opper said. “This was just a story that we all wanted to tell. It was so core and honest and pure and had so much stoke in it, what these people went through to ride a wave.” “Secrets” premieres at 5:15 p.m. on April 24 at The Triangle 3 Theatre in Costa Mesa. After Newport, the film heads next month to the San Diego Surf Film Festival before plunging into the film-festival circuit. A trailer can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=NVd_iKp8ziQ

Ariana Miller Heart of a Child Concert funds music SDUHSD names Bridget therapy programs through Rady Children’s Hospital Sabin 2017 Classified BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Siobhan Marroquin’s singing cuts off mid-verse, stopping her hands against the strings of her ukulele. With her son Joey, 3, propped up behind a keyboard in front of her, she frets that his older sister Grace, who’s visiting with her father, isn’t going to like such a slow tempo. Lindsay Zehren, a music therapist with Sorrento Valley-based Resounding Joy, sits cross-legged with a guitar on the floor next to them both. With reassuring tones in her voice, she gently strums the chords they’ve been piecing together over the past few months. They cycle through the verses another time, settling somewhere closer to mid-tempo. There’s an unspoken urgency: Joey was put on hospice last month. “We know the challenges aren’t over, but we’ve got what we need,” they sing together. “We have our love, our faith, and

Concert, which funds music therapy programs at Rady Children’s Hospital. Ariana had flourished under Resounding Joy’s care even as she succumbed to congenital heart disease. After she died in 2008, her parents Jeff and Anita Miller wanted other young cardiac patients at Rady to enjoy the same support Ariana had. Since 2011, the concert has funded music therapy for more than 1,000 families and has become a top showcase for San Diego’s most accomplished young musical acts. This year’s concert will be held Saturday, April 22. The $70,000 raised last year enabled Zehren to give home therapy to five families a week instead of only two. But still, more than 100 families languish on the wait list. The Marroquins were one of the families lucky enough to make it off that list. SEE MUSIC, A21

Employee of the Year

The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) has named Bridget Sabin as its 2017 Classified Employee of the Year, according to a press release. Sabin, Registrar at San Dieguito Academy, has been with the district since 1995. She is a standout employee for a number of reasons, the press release said. “I can’t imagine anyone working harder at their job than Bridget. She is one of the most professional, thorough, and organized people I have ever worked with,” said Administrative Assistant Lois Delanty. When discussing the extra effort Sabin regularly takes to make sure all students feel a personal connection to the school, Assistant Bridget Sabin Principal Jeanne Jones, explains, “Each winter Ms. Sabin leads a gift program called the Angel Tree, for students who have had a difficult year…Students are touched that their school cares about them.” As Registrar, Sabin prepares, maintains and monitors the permanent school records of high school students; reviews, evaluates and records course credits and grades earned; and works as part of a team to ensure graduation requirements are met. In addition to being named the SDUHSD Classified Employee of the Year, Sabin was selected as the San Diego County Classified Employee of the Year. This prestigious award allows Sabin to advance to the California Department of Education Classified Employee of the Year program.

Brick15 music club in DM closes

BY GEORGE VARGA Brick15, the Del Mar coffee house and live music club that opened last July and featured top national singer-songwriters, closed on Monday, April 17. The reason for the closure was a lack of financing and sufficient customer support to remain in operation, according to Laura and Liam Murphy. The Carmel Valley couple owned and operated the 1,800-square-foot venue, which was located at 916 Camino Del Mar. “We’re pretty speechless at the moment,” Laura Murphy said Monday in an email to The San Diego Union-Tribune. “While we continued to believe in our vision, and are extremely grateful to the many kind folks who shared our dreams, there are not enough of us. While business growth was good, it was not fast enough to attract or secure the financing we needed, and we are now unable to continue. When the last of our possible investors backed out, we were forced to face the reality that we

had reached the end of our run.” Laura Murphy is the former night manager of Club Passim in Cambridge, Mass., a highly regarded folk-music club. A former neuroscience researcher, she and her husband opened Brick15 with the hope of emulating the musical excellence and success of Club Passim. They succeeded on the first count. In its nine months of operation, Brick 15 hosted performances by such acclaimed singer-songwriters as Erin McKeown, Nickel Creek alum Sean Watkins, noted troubadour Kim Richey, Encinitas-based Jack Tempchin, who wrote “Peaceful Easy Feeling” for the Eagles, Throwing Muses’ co-founder Kristin Hersh, NPR Tiny Desk contest-winner Gaelynn Lea, and — just nine days ago — Iain Matthews, the co-founder of the pioneering English folk-rock band Fairport Convention. “They were bringing in a lot of great people that I never thought I would get to see here, and especially not in a perfect little room like that,” said Tempchin who played

several times at Brick15, including streaming a Facebook Live performance. “(The Murrays) are the real deal and they are super-dedicated to the music. I thought they had all the skills to make it work and I thought the coffee shop alone would have been profitable. It’s sad they had to close.” “We’ve been through a lot over the years,” Laura Murphy said, “but this is definitely heartbreaking,” Brick15 had three concerts booked for this week, including a Thursday show by veteran folkie Eric Andersen. Those performances have been canceled, as have all the Brick15 shows that had been booked through October. In a message Monday to people on the Brick15 mailing list, the Murphys wrote: “We intend to do our best to issue ticket refunds and pro-rated membership refunds as part of our liquidation process. “Thank you to everyone who believed in us, we are sorry we let you down.” -- George Varga is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Laurence Luckinbill’s ‘LYNDON’ at NC Rep May 8-9 Broadway actor Laurence Luckinbill stars as Lyndon Johnson at the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach May 8-9 at 7:30 p.m. He was the greatest master of Congress in history, and came to the presidency after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Johnson proved himself to be a brilliant and disciplined liberal Democrat who created 200 pieces of domestic legislation for the American people. His plan to create a Great Society was a magnificent dream. It is an astonishing record of great achievement. He was a great man, a great American, and

FROM ALCOHOL, A1 Current rules call for $100 for a first violation and $200 for the second. Boerner Horvath wants $1,000 in both instances. When some councilmembers worried that might be too steep, she said she’d be willing to consider $500 then $1,000. “If you want somebody not to do something, you make the first penalty high. You don’t make the first penalty low,” she said. “I believe that 99 percent of [owners] are operating correctly today. This will not affect them.” Perhaps the most crucial — and intensive — discussions will be over how exactly to gauge what they have termed “oversaturation”: a combination of the number of locations serving alcohol, their hours of operation and other factors. Councilmembers agreed that the city should develop oversaturation standards unique to each area of the city. “They really are very different,” said Mayor Catherine Blakespear. “We want to make sure we don’t have a one-size-fits-all, blanket approach [and] potentially create problems where we’d like to encourage vibrancy. … El Camino Real, they could use a little night life after 10 p.m., potentially. We don’t want to chill that activity.” After the council’s unanimous vote, bar owner Dale Polselli was dismayed that the council has pushed forward on the Deemed Approved

Ordinance (DAO) despite the success of reforms developed over the last few years. Polselli came to the 101 corridor in 2008 when he bought Saloon from the family that founded it more than 60 years ago. He expanded into the building next door in 2014, establishing the bar Shelter. That year, the planning commission held off on a DAO and instead moved forward with a program of more proactive code enforcement. It has produced detailed quarterly reports on that enforcement program. “We were given a mandate by the city council back in 2014 to improve the situation. There’s not one metric that says that we haven’t — it’s in fact the opposite,” Polselli said. “If you look at all the metrics, all the quarterly reports, they show compliance, they show positive change. But instead of staying the course of what has proven to work, we’re imposed with additional regulations.” As that process unfolded in 2014, many of Encinitas’ bar owners rallied together to form the Encinitas Hospitality Association. That group has waned over the past few years. Only a handful of bar and restaurant owners attended Wednesday’s council meeting. It left Polselli feeling outnumbered and outmaneuvered. “I’m not sure there is recourse when you’re up against five councilmembers, five planning commissioners

and a citizen committee that’s backed by a multi-billion dollar religious organization,” he said, referring to the Self-Realization Fellowship, which for years has lobbied city leaders to restore the corridor’s tranquility. “We’re small-business owners. We don’t have those kinds of resources, and that’s evident when we see our arguments falling on deaf ears.” Boerner Horvath expects the umbrella ordinance to be ready before the council’s break in July. “We’re probably looking at six months to a year,” she said in a later interview. Despite so much work left to do on the specifics, members of the Encinitas Citizens Committee left satisfied that things are going to change, with a swarm of congratulations and relieved handshakes. “Whether it’s the change we’ve been waiting for, time will tell, based on what the council actually decides on,” Encinitas resident Margaret Wolff said as she was leaving city hall. “But it feels like there’s been movement forward, which has helped everybody feel like we’re being heard.” Wolff first moved to Encinitas in 1979, then moved to Berkeley eight years ago before moving back last year. “And I was absolutely shocked by the difference in the character of our city in the seven years that I was away,” she said. “I don’t want hip. I don’t want cool. What I want is safe, and I want peaceful, and I want happy.”

ith approval granted by the San Diego County Board of Education in January, the School of Universal Learning (SOUL) Charter School is on its way to opening this fall within the boundaries of the San Dieguito Union High School District. Co-founders Marisa Bruyneel and Michael Grimes say the response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive, which has bolstered their commitment to their mission and the work ahead. They remain enthusiastic and upbeat even as they face the not insignificant challenge of securing a facility. “We know it’s the most difficult piece of the puzzle,” Bruyneel said. Grimes said they have options that could work but none are ideal. “Nothing is quite right yet,” he said. “We know there’s the perfect space out there for us somewhere.” Miles Durfee, Southern California Managing Regional Director of the California Charter Schools Association, said, “For every charter school, the biggest barrier is always the facility.” Durfee said they may have to settle for something less than perfect, which could be temporary until a permanent facility can be secured. Worst case would be deferring the opening for a year, which Durfee said sometimes happens with newly authorized charter schools. But he’s optimistic SOUL will open on schedule. “There’s still a lot of time to get a facility in place,” he said. “I’m not worried yet.” SOUL has funding from the state for its facility, and Durfee said this matters because they are not simply begging for free space. The charter school would pay to lease land or rent a facility, he said. So any organization or school district with space or land available that’s looking for a way to increase revenue might find leasing to SOUL an attractive option. “They would pay market rate on a lease for the property,” Durfee said. “Private schools do that all the time.” Grimes said they need 7,000 to 8,000 square feet the first year, when they open with only two grades – seventh and ninth. The second year, when eighth and 10th grades are added, they’ll need about 15,000 square feet of space. Eleventh grade will be added the third year, and 12th grade the fourth year.

SOUL plans for an anticipated total of 600 students (100 per grade in grades 7-12) when fully operational. Students and teachers Other than finding a facility, the co-founders said they are on track with the other important needs: funding, enrollment and staffing. Grimes said their facility budget is $250,000 for the first year and double that the second year. Besides outside funding and funding from the state based mainly on the average daily attendance of students, SOUL was awarded $375,000 from the Public Charter Schools Grant Program which, according to the California Department of Education website, provides “startup and initial operating capital to assist schools in establishing high quality, high performing charter school operations for California students and their families.” Bruyneel said they’ve held two parent sessions to date and have been impressed with parental response. “Parents are so aligned and so supportive,” she said. “The greatest part of this process is meeting parents,” Grimes said. “They ask good questions, and we appreciate their enthusiasm.” He said he’s confident enrollment goals will be met. Students need teachers, and Bruyneel said they’ve completed their first round of hiring. “We know the school will only be as good as its teachers,” she said. “They need to be able to implement our vision and must embody SOUL principles.” She said applicants are being asked to describe themselves on four levels: self, world, community and teaching. They can submit their applications in any form they choose. “We got amazing videos,” Grimes said. “Teachers who have applied have been incredible.” Some applicants are new to teaching, some are former substitutes, and others are current teachers. Applications are coming in locally as well as from across the country, Bruyneel said. SOUL will start with a staff of 17: eight core curriculum teachers (for math, science, English and history), two elective teachers (music/arts/media arts and foreign language), four support staff and three administrators (Bruyneel, Grimes and founding team leader Dr. Wendy Kaveney).

www.encinitasadvocate.com Demonstrating progress Because the school was only authorized for two years instead of the customary five, SOUL will have to demonstrate progress in only about 16 months before the founders need to go back to the SD County Board of Education in early 2019 for reauthorization. Grimes acknowledged that SOUL may not be able to show significant academic growth in just one year. But he said they will test students at the beginning and end of the school year and have a way to measure what they feel is equally important: emotional and social development. In addition, students will present a project every nine weeks at a review night for parents and teachers. And at the end of each semester, students will be required to do a “presentation of growth” that the community can attend. In this way, said Bruyneel, “each student takes part in their own assessment.” Bruyneel said she and Grimes “have been developing the concept for SOUL for a very long time.” The two met through mutual friends (they are not married to each other) and have what Bruyneel said is a “perfect alignment” and the same vision for what education needs to be. SOUL’s mission is to “provide exceptional education that awakens individuals to know who they are, discover their passions and purpose, and thrive holistically, to achieve both mental and life mastery.” This is not the typical public school parents and students are familiar with. Besides academic achievement, SOUL’s integrated holistic program seeks to help students understand their place in the world, their inner worth and value, and their unique ability to shine with talent all their own. Beyond all that, the further draw for parents and students includes the small school environment, project-based learning, an entrepreneurial focus, and a combined middle and high school. “Students deserve to have the option to attend a smaller school, and one that is dedicated to developing them mentally, emotionally, socially, physically and personally,” Bruyneel said. “SOUL intends to change the educational paradigm and ensure that students graduate high school with the tools and skills needed to thrive.” She called this “a revolutionary model of education” and said they are “looking forward to being the first charter school in the San Dieguito district.” “They are definitely unique in their program,” said CCSA’s Durfee. SOUL, Durfee said, aims to offer San Dieguito students an educational option in a district where not every student’s needs are being met in the traditional way. “It’s a great story of leaders who

have a great passion,” he said. A partnership This is not to say that SOUL’s founders don’t applaud San Dieguito’s achievements. “We acknowledge your schools have already forged a path of excellence,” Bruyneel said to the SDUHSD board at its Oct. 13 meeting, when the board denied SOUL’s petition. Grimes said SOUL would be giving the district another exceptional school to its options. Students deserve choices, they said, as not every school meets every student’s individual needs. Although the county is SOUL’s authorizing agency, that does not mean that SDUHSD no longer has a role to play in SOUL’s ability to fulfill its mission. San Dieguito could do more to help identify a facility, which could be structured as temporary housing if the district is reluctant to make the arrangement permanent. Such a deal would generate income that would help reduce San Dieguito’s enormous $9.2 million deficit. In the spirit of cooperation, San Dieguito could also allow SOUL students to try out and play on the district’s high school sports teams. “Sports team participation would be nice to have,” Grimes said. After all, these students would be attending the district’s high schools if SOUL were not an option. “The district may enter into an agreement with a charter school on this,” Durfee said. “As I understand it, there are districts that do partner with charter schools in this way.” Although the district cannot be compelled to do this, Durfee was hopeful that SDUHSD can be convinced “to openly partner in the best interest of the whole student’s needs.” “Every issue can find a viable solution,” Grimes said. Even though he has said in the past that he wishes them well, SDUHSD superintendent Eric Dill was the only speaker to oppose the authorization of SOUL at the SD County Board of Education meeting in January. Nevertheless, Bruyneel and Grimes insist the relationship is healthy. “We all want to work together,” said Grimes, who stressed that he hoped the district “can see us as another great option for their students as opposed to seeing us as competition.” SOUL will have a booth at the Earth Day Fair at Balboa Park on April 23 and at the Encinitas Street Fair April 29-30. A private “Celebration of SOUL” is planned for May, “to celebrate our success and say thank you to the community,” Bruyneel said.

well-received.” Rosenblatt considered the Bar Leucadian as having a “historic quality to it” due to the live concerts it used to hold. Todd Laird, who took over ownership of Bar Leucadian after the previous owner’s legal troubles, said he hopes to be able to hold live musical performances at the bar again someday. The previous owner “had everything stripped of him” after getting into trouble with the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control, as well as the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, Laird said. According to The San Diego Union-Tribune, the bar’s liquor license was temporary suspended for 45 days in 2012 after undercover investigators purchased cocaine from patrons and employees of the bar over a four-month period. The Union-Tribune reported that for years, Bar Leucadian had been “linked to crimes and quality-of-life problems in the area.” “Deputies received frequent reports of loud noise, public drunkenness and urination, and many people arrested for drunken driving had done their drinking at the establishment,” then-sheriff’s Capt. Sherri Sarro of the Encinitas Station told the Union-Tribune. Laird said since he has owned the bar, there have been no visits or threats from the sheriff’s department. He hopes this will help him in persuading the city to allow live music at the bar again. “We want to get back to that and want our music to stop at 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays,” he said. Local music promoter and musician Scott Clayton has fond memories of booking the bands at Bar Leucadian for the final five years of the establishment holding a live music license. “It’s basically where I cut my teeth in the biz,” he said. “The place was jumping seven days a week.” Rosenblatt expects to host a reveal party at the bar once the mural is complete.

Diego County,” Williams said, noting that they have built larger PV systems for other schools outside of San Diego and have built larger utility scale projects as well. “We’re proud of helping schools lead positive change in the community, endorsing clean energy and reducing their electric bill so they can use those funds saved to develop educational programs,” Williams said. “The benefit of schools installing solar is that they set a great example of environmental stewardship and the positive use of renewable energy.” The solar installation builds on the school’s previous environmental endeavors such as installing 80,000 square feet of artificial turf and switching to efficient LED lighting, which consumes 90 percent less power than old-style incandescent bulbs. They also installed car chargers available for faculty, staff and students during the school day and to the community at large in the

evenings. “Our bills have been substantially lower so it’s already doing what it’s supposed to do,” said Laaperi, noting that their typical SDG&E bill had hovered around $40,000 a month and the last one received was about $4,000. Cathedral is not the only local school taking advantage of solar power. Canyon Crest Academy down the street installed a solar system over the carports in its parking lot in 2010. As of last year, the solar systems at CCA and La Costa Canyon High School had paired to save the district more than $3.4 million in energy costs. Solar also factors into the construction of San Dieguito Union High School District’s new Earl Warren Middle School campus, set to open this fall. At neighboring Solana Ranch Elementary School, the Solana Beach School District is realizing approximately 60 percent off-set with its solar installation. “Solar panels reduce overall operating expenses at the school, are a good alternative renewable

energy source, and will continue to generate power for 20-plus years with low maintenance costs,” said Caroline Brown, the district’s executive director of capital programs and technology. Solar projects are planned for each of the Solana Beach School District’s projects funded by their general obligation bond Measure JJ. Solana Pacific Elementary School, located in Carmel Valley, is scheduled for a solar panel installation this summer. Brown said they will expect approximately 45 percent off-set by installing solar canopies in the parking lot. Solana Highlands Elementary School in Carmel Valley is also scheduled to receive solar panels on the south-facing roofs with an expected off-set of approximately 40 percent. Skyline Elementary School in Solana Beach is undergoing a complete reconstruction during the 2017-18 school year and is scheduled to receive solar panels in the parking lot as well over the student lunch area. The district anticipates a 60 percent off-set at Skyline, according to Brown.

FROM MUSIC, A11 They’ve made the most out of their sessions with Zehren, building a close rapport over their three months of work to craft their family song. Zehren leads them through other songs, too — Light of Mine, Twinkle Twinkle, If You’re Happy and You Know It, and the like. If she lingers too long between songs, Joey vocalizes a sound — yearning and meek — that they’ve come to recognize as his way of saying “More.” Joey suffers from an extremely rare chromosomal disorder that affects his heart function, breathing, hearing and motor skills. His type of cerebral palsy all but robs him of control over his body. His communication barely rises above the most rudimentary levels. But from their very first session, his mother had no doubt that it was taking effect. “You could see it in his eyes. That first day, having the different instruments in his reach, he just lit up in this new way,” she says. “Lindsay noticed it, I noticed it, the nurse noticed it. The nurse and I were teary-eyed and starting to cry. Grace was like ‘Wow, Joey’s really playing, mommy!’ It

Some parents get angry when she speaks to their children about such sensitive topics, but Rodarte said she feels it is her duty to make sure that teens get the information they need about risky behaviors. If the parents don’t want her to talk to their kids, said Rodarte, then she tells them they must have such conversations at home. The point, she said, is to hammer home the negative consequences over and over by telling teens stories from real life about people they have known, or even the parents’ own experiences.

was this amazing moment of realizing we had found something to reach him with.” Over the sessions that followed, Zehren honed a package of songs right for them — music that lets Joey reach out and gives his mother and sister a way in. “He’s just really blossomed in the last few months,” she says. “Despite going physically downhill, emotionally and mentally he has gone so tremendously forward. It’s really helped him feel like he can have more trust in a world that isn’t geared for kids like him.” This is the Joey that she’s going to remember, the joyful boy with the indomitable spirit in the pediatric ward at Rady’s, unsoured by infections and one painful procedure after another, smiling and cooing at doctors flabbergasted by his resolve, the kid with the Pink Floyd t-shirt whom nurses at Rady’s nick-named “crazy legs” for his penchant to thrash gleefully anytime music would strike up in the ICU. “He’s just this sweet, unrealistically happy guy, despite all he’s been through,” she says, watching warmly as Zehren shows Joey a lollipop-colored hand drum, which he nuzzles, his face bending into an unmistakable smile.

“You’re amazing,” Zehren says, half-singing, her face tenderly approaching his. “You really are.” Doctors don’t know how much time Joey has left. His mom admits it’s probably less than she had hoped. But Zehren will be back next week, and the week after — for as long as Joey is physically able. If circumstances allow, she’ll record them performing their song together — a legacy project Resounding Joy does with many of its families. When Joey’s light does finally go out, his mother will play the song at his funeral. “It describes him and describes Grace and their special bond so well,” she says. “It’s been such a gift to be able to share that with them, to have something that Grace and I can always —” Her voice trails off. She looks again at her son. “Music,” she says, “music is eternal.” This year’s Ariana Miller Heart of a Child concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 22, at Irwin M.

though adults can legally use the drug, it is still illegal for those under 21 years old. While occasional use of marijuana may not be the end of the world, she said, abuse of the drug can have a host of ill effects on a developing teenage brain, from being a gateway to harder drugs, to “amotivational syndrome,” basically not wanting to do anything. Studies have also suggested that heavy marijuana use as a teenager can lead to higher risk of developing schizophrenia later in life, she said. Marijuana is also addictive, she said. Although the withdrawal symptoms are not as severe as narcotics or certain other drugs, she said that withdrawing from pot can cause anxiety and irritability. Since today’s teens face a lot of pressure at school, parents can help by modeling positive stress relief activities, such as

exercise, relaxing with friends and getting plenty of sleep, Rodarte said. Rodarte and her husband, who is also a physician, have three children, ages 5, 7 and 9, so she has a bit of time before she will have to deal with teenage brains in her own family. But she is prepared to follow her own advice and talk often to her children about the dangers of drugs, alcohol and sexual activity. Resources for parents, she said, include the website www.drugabuse.gov, and the book, “The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist’s Survival Guide to Raising Adolescents and Young Adults,” by Frances E. Jensen and Amy Ellis Nutt. “Our teens need extra support,” said Rodarte. “They need parents who are involved and present, and (set) loving, firm limits.”

Nurse Practitioner serve as the foundation for the innovative care she would provide to farm workers, sometimes in the fields. She returns annually to Brazil at her own expense, as well as transporting crates of medical supplies to the desperately poor island nation of Fiji where she provides care in small, austere clinics, patient’s huts or at times under palm trees. As an advance practice nurse, she has provided clinical education to prepare nurse practitioners as well as UC Irvine medical students. To enhance the systems of care that serve the underserved, she has performed

research to determine the best quality and most efficient care for this population, particularly women and children. Nurse practitioners are nurses with postgraduate degrees educated to provide high quality, comprehensive, patient centered care in every aspect of healthcare. They are becoming a significant provider of primary and specialty care as demand grows due to increasing numbers of insured Californians. They are also found providing care to patients in many hospital departments. — Press release

The American Gut project — which has been running for four years and has raised $1,383,751 from 9,019 contributors — allows citizens to mail in their samples and receive results on their personal participant site. Kapono said it would be a good idea for surfers who want to know how their microbes change after surfing during a storm to participate in the program. “If they surf after a weather event, they can send their sample in,” he invited. For Wilson, the Surfer’s Biome research opens more queries for the future. “The more interesting question is, assuming surfers have a unique biome, what does that mean? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Are surfers more resistant to disease? Or is it bad in that they’ve been exposed to certain microbes, causing changes that are not so good?” In Kapono’s view, his research has potential to change political direction in the defense of the environment. “The benefits of doing a project like this is we can influence a
