Business landscape changing in Encinitas BY JARED WHITLOCK Bety Gracida said she’s still coming to terms with the closure of her family’s restaurant. With their rent set to double, the Gracida family shuttered Bety’s Tacos in January after 18 years at the Encinitas Village Square I plaza. In the meantime, they started Bety’s Catering while trying to secure a new brick-and-mortar location, which is proving difficult given rising commercial rents. “Emotionally, it’s tough,” Gracida said. “You have to start all over.” Bety’s Tacos isn’t alone. Other local businesses have closed their

doors in recent months, including the vintage store Home: A Mercantile Company, Coastal Furniture and the long-time staple El Callejon. On the flip side, local economic development representatives say change isn’t easy, but Encinitas continues to attract innovative small businesses that fit the community’s character. Much of the recent change in the city’s business scene has occurred at Encinitas Village Square I, which Festival Development Corporation of Los Angeles bought in 2013. Gracida said Festival Development SEE BUSINESS, A23

10-acre Farm Lab for students continues to grow

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE

BY JARED WHITLOCK n update on the latest at the 10-acre Farm Lab and what’s to come was presented on April 20 to the Encinitas Union School District board. Farm Lab, which aims to give hands-on lessons in science and ecology, began hosting student field trips a year ago. At 441 Quail Gardens Drive in Encinitas, the site in recent months has gained murals on the portable classrooms, features like rain barrels and more crops are sprouting. “It’s now turning into a very vibrant space,” said Farm Lab Director Mim Michelove. Michelove said much is in store for the property in the not-too-distant future,

including a nutrition lab that’s going through the permitting process and could open as soon as this summer. Plans call for produce grown in a one-acre educational garden to be cooked in the lab, which Michelove said would teach students the “science of nutrition.” First, third and sixth graders have visited the site, and all grades will take part in student field trips there come next school year. Michelove recalled how first graders recently designed tools to repel farm pests with sound and movement, instead of pesticides. Students a year ago took part in a timed challenge where they suggested ideas for Farm Lab, drawing upon inspiration from visits to

the surrounding San Diego Botanic Garden and Leichtag Foundation property. Separate from the educational garden, a production farm on the site supplies about 30 percent of a salad bar program for the district’s nine schools, with a five-year goal of providing 75 percent. Michelove said because the production farm is quickly expanding and will ultimately cover 5 acres, the district should hit its 75-percent target quicker than anticipated. “The soil really is wonderful,” Michelove said. “It just really needs nutrients.” Michelove said there’s a concerted effort to save water at the property in light of the SEE FARM, A23

Encinitas opposes state Encinitas brush fire extinguished bill addressing homeless before reaching any homes BY JARED WHITLOCK The Encinitas City Council on April 20 unanimously went on record against California SB 876, saying the proposed bill doesn’t address homelessness and takes away local enforcement power. Introduced by Sen. Carol Liu in January, SB 876 would ensure that homeless people have the right to rest and gather in public spaces, overruling cities with ordinances that restrict the homeless population in certain areas. It also proposes to give homeless people an avenue to sue public entities for violating their rights. A summary of the bill states that, more and more, cities are wrongly targeting the homeless population. “These anti-homeless laws — commonly referred to as ‘vagrancy,’ ‘quality of life,’ or ‘anti-nuisance’ laws — deny people the right to exist in public,” the bill says. “A survey of homeless people conducted by the Western Region Advocacy Project revealed that the majority of people without homes do not know of a safe place to sleep at night where they would not be arrested.” The council’s vote authorized Mayor Kristin Gaspar to send an opposition letter to Liu on the matter. A letter included with the agenda report takes issue with the bill “removing local authority to enforce ordinances.” “Local agencies must be able to protect public health, safety and welfare of their communities,” the letter states.

Encinitas doesn’t have any laws on the books that would be impacted or overruled by the state legislation, according to Bob McSeveney, the city’s senior management analyst. Yet if approved, the bill would prevent the city from passing future regulations on vagrancy and homelessness in public, McSeveney confirmed in an email before the council meeting. The letter goes on to say that the city of Encinitas is working with Interfaith Communities and Community Resource Center to align the homeless with permanent housing. It adds that the bill contains no solutions for ending homelessness, stating cities need more funding for resources like housing, mental health treatment and job training. “The amendments offered in your bill…could worsen the problem by removing incentives for taking advantage of existing resources and services,” the letter says. SB 876 would still allow cities to place limits on public spaces, such as restricting hours. But local laws wouldn’t be able to target the homeless or result in enforcement that’s geared toward the homeless. The council routinely takes stances on state bills as part of its legislative position letters program. Councilmembers didn’t speak to the agenda item. It was on the consent calendar, which is typically approved without council discussion. The bill is currently in the Senate Committee on Transportation and Housing.

BY JARED WHITLOCK Firefighters stopped a brush fire on April 17 that threatened homes in the Scott Place cul-de-sac in Encinitas. The blaze started at 7:45 p.m. just east of Home Depot on El Camino Real. It then spread up the hill, but fire crews positioned atop Scott Place were able to extinguish the fire before it reached the street, according to Fire Marshal Anita Pupping with the Encinitas Fire Department.

Pupping said the flames burned about a quarter-acre of land and got within 200 feet of six homes, which were evacuated. No property damage or injuries were reported. The blaze was put out by about 8:30 p.m. The Encinitas Fire Department is investigating the cause of the fire, according to Pupping. She said a property owner who smelled smoke reported the fire soon after it broke out and fire crews quickly responded.

Thieves targeting unlocked vehicles BY JARED WHITLOCK Thieves are increasingly preying on unlocked cars with valuables inside, according to the Encinitas Sheriff’s Substation. Sgt. Richard Eaton said too often people leave purses, cell phones, computers and other valuables in their car without locking their doors. Eaton said the solution is simple: close windows, lock doors and don’t leave valuables in sight. If you must keep valuables in your car while out and about, hide them before reaching your destination, according to the Sheriff’s Department. Otherwise, someone may be watching while you stash the items. Also, people are urged to hide any signs of valuables, such as cell phone chargers, docking stations and clothing, because a car thief might think there’s something valuable

in the pockets. Eaton said the problem has gotten worse in recent months throughout areas served by the Encinitas Sheriff’s Substation — Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas and Rancho Santa Fe. Of auto burglaries since January, 86 percent of the cases have involved cars that weren’t locked, according to Eaton. Eaton attributed the increase to Proposition 47 — a 2014 California ballot measure that reduced certain property crimes and drug offenses from felonies to misdemeanors. "It’s always been an issue, but not a problem like it is now," Eaton said. People are urged to park in well-lit and well-traveled areas, deterring thieves who don’t want attention. Additionally, residents are asked to record valuables’ serial numbers, which can help track down items in the event they’re stolen and taken to a pawnshop.

Encinitas musician to perform at Gator by the Bay Festival BY ROB LEDONNE For four days during the first weekend in May, crowds are poised to flock to San Diego’s Spanish Landing Park for the annual Gator by the Bay Festival. It’s a bash that unites lovers of crawfish, as well as blues and zydeco music, and one of this year’s featured performers is Encinitas’ own Ben Powell. “I think this is my sixth year at Gator by the Bay,” Powell said from his apartment in Encinitas on a recent typically sunny Wednesday afternoon. “It’s my favorite festival I play at for sure. It’s a very fun setting and it’s great to get to see my friends perform. Everywhere you go there’s different smells and sounds, and it makes it really fun.” Powell has been having his share of fun creating music since he was just a kid. He was first inspired by just looking at his father’s record collection. “I was mesmerized by them,” he remembers. He soon developed an interest that intensified his love of the craft by listening to radio legend Casey Kasem’s countdown show every week and working out his musical muscles in any way he could. “In fourth grade I began taking music classes in school and I chose the sax. I played it until 11th grade, and along the way built drum sets

Musician Ben Powell. out of tupperware and put on shows where I’d lip synch,” Powell said. Despite a brief foray into skateboarding, Powell stuck with music and has developed his own unique sound over the intervening years. “I was asked what my sound was like yesterday and it comes

down to blues,” he noted, adding it can also be regarded as roots as well. “It’s a weird thing to quantify. It’s blues-influenced but I’m actually creating my own sound, and if you play music long enough that’s the idea.” Powell puts it another way: “I’m a

stripped-down guy with some instruments and not a ton of technical help.” Powell, with his resonator guitars, a homemade wine-box footboard, and rack-harmonica has refined his live performances over the years and is no stranger to the festival scene. He’s a veteran of numerous national festivals, including Austin’s famed South by Southwest and the San Diego Blues Fest. In addition, Powell won first place at Colorado’s Telluride Brews and Blues fest in the blues category. Powell’s set lists are made up of tracks from the singer-songwriter’s past six albums and beyond. (His most recent, Rise Up Singing, was nominated for a San Diego Music Award for Best Blues Album in 2014.) All along the way, Powell continues to be inspired by living in North County, a place he’s called home for the past 18 years. “Once in a while I’ll get an inkling to go somewhere else,” he says. “But then I’ll pull out a map to see where to, then fold it up and put it back. I live right by the beach and it’s hard to leave that.” Ben Powell brings his unique sound to the 2016 Gator by the Bay Festival on Saturday May 7, at 1:20 p.m. For more information, check out www.gatorbythebay.com.

Handcuffs are key to locksmith’s heart

Encinitas man has more than 1,000 pairs of antique cuffs in his collection

or most of his life, locks and keys have had a hold on Mark Lyons’ heart. He’s run a North County locksmith business for decades and he’s a safecracker-on-call for local law enforcement agencies. But the passion that has taken the Encinitas resident around the world and cost him more than $100,000 is handcuffs. Lyons owns more than 1,000 pairs of antique cuffs, which makes his collection one of the largest in the world. Amassed over the past 40 years, the collection includes myriad styles of cuffs dating back to the 17th century, as well as leg irons, neck irons, thumb cuffs, a ball and chain and even a 2-inch miniature pair of Peerless cuffs with working lock and key. Many items are rare and highly valuable, including several cuff sets owned by escape artist Harry Houdini, but Lyons’ sentimental favorite is a cheap, mass-produced pair of Japanese-made EIG cuffs from the 1970s that’s worth about $15. “I love those because they were the ones that started it all,” said Lyons, 61. “They’re the first pair I ever owned and they still stack up as my favorite.” Lyons grew up in a suburb of Detroit where he was fascinated from an early age with magic tricks. When he discovered from his dad that a neighbor was a special

Among the more than 1,00 pairs of handcuffs in Mark Lyons’ collection is a pair of rare McKenzie Mitts handcuffs from the 1920s

agent for the IRS, a job that allowed him to carry a gun and handcuffs, Lyons became obsessed with the idea of holding the cuffs. For weeks, the 6-year-old Lyons showed up on the neighbor’s porch every night, begging to see his handcuffs until he finally wore the man down. He finally bought his first set, the Japanese EIGs, from a police uniform supply store in his 20s. Over the years, he has collected antique locks and even jail cell keys, but cuffs have always been his favorite. He loves the many different ways that cuffs have been engineered over the centuries, he’s

fascinated by the ingenious locking mechanisms and he’s an acknowledged expert in handcuff history and spotting fakes (his collector’s guide to fraud on eBay has been viewed 77,000 times since January). As the owner of A-1 Lock & Safe in Carlsbad, Lyons has learned how to open just about anything. About two or three times a year, he gets a call from law enforcement agencies like the IRS, DEA and Sheriff’s Department to open a safe. Most of the time the safes are empty, but once he found one stuffed with marijuana. Three

years ago, he was called out to Lakeside to open a safe and found a body locked inside. A suicidal man had climbed inside the waist-high safe with a gun, used fishing wire to pull the door shut and then shot himself. Because Lyons knows how hard it is to crack safes, he uses several to store the majority of his handcuff collection at a secret location. Lyons said handcuffs have been around since the early age of man, when strips of animal hide, tree bark and vine were used for restraint. After the dawn of the Bronze Age, more secure devices with locks and keys developed. The “golden age” of handcuffs arrived in the mid-1800s when adjustable wrist bars were invented. Another boom occurred in 1912 when Peerless patented reciprocating cuffs that police could quickly snap on a suspect with a swing-through wrist bar. Handcuffs also became popular with the general public thanks to performers like Houdini. Among Lyons’ collection of Houdini-owned items is a set of “German slander trial” cuffs. Accused by officials in Cologne of fakery in 1900, the Hungarian illusionist proved his lock-picking skills in court by escaping from several pairs. Lyons also owns a specially designed 1880s set he calls the “Handcuff King Breakers.” Dressed in disguise, Houdini would often take the SEE CUFFS, A22

llness, pain or just the shock of being diagnosed with a serious medical condition can hinder patients’ ability to understand their treatment options or make decisions about their care. Patients may benefit by having another person by their side to serve as a liaison with caregivers and help ensure that the best possible care is delivered. Known as “patient advocates,” people who support and represent patients can range from trusted relatives and friends to formally trained professionals. Professional patient advocates may include physicians and nurses who offer their services for a fee, as well as individuals who have completed training programs in patient advocacy through educational institutions. While it helps if the patient advocate has a medical background, it isn’t absolutely necessary. The most important factor for an effective patient advocate is to be well informed and up to date about the health care issues relevant to the patient’s case. A great deal of information about specific medical conditions and treatment options is available through trusted, credible Internet sites. Informed advocates can help patients thoroughly understand their diagnosis, explain the benefits and downsides to treatments, and know what to expect in the

Letters Policy To p i c a l l e t t e r s t o t h e e d i t o r a r e encouraged. Submissions should include a full name, address, e-mail address (if available) and a telephone number for verification purposes. We do not publish anonymous letters and there are length limits (about 450 words maximum). E-mailed submissions are preferred to editor@encinitasadvocate.com. Letters may be edited. The letters/columns published are the author’s opinion only and do not reflect the opinion of this newspaper.

long term. Advocates may also help patients navigate the myriad appointments and treatments that serious medical conditions may require, so organization and efficiency are important. They may schedule and accompany patients to appointments, take notes and ask questions, and follow up on home care instructions. It is especially important for very ill or injured patients to have an ally who can review treatment plans, clarify information and help make critical decisions. Advocates also may provide personal support and encouragement to patients, and help ease the anxiety that often comes with health problems. It’s crucial that advocates feel comfortable speaking up if they have questions or feel the need to confirm a diagnosis, medications or surgery recommendations. Medical errors can occur in even the most careful environments, and asking the right questions may help prevent them. To that end, patient advocates need to have good communication skills as well as the “people” skills to interact assertively yet respectfully with caregivers, and work as part of the health care team. In especially complex cases, patients may want to consider hiring a professional

advocate to oversee their care. Individuals, organizations and agencies offer individual patient advocacy services, either as volunteers or for a fee. Many have backgrounds in medicine, nursing, and social work; others may have served as advocates for family members and now offer their services professionally. A new state law that took effect on Jan. 1 underscores the important role that patient advocates play. Under the law, when patients are admitted to a hospital they now have the right to designate a caregiver and a hospital must inform the designated caregiver of discharge plans and any continuing care a patient needs, including counseling about medication and how to perform tasks such as cleaning wounds and moving disabled patients from a wheelchair to a commode or bed. When long-term care is required, hospitals must provide information on community resources that can help with referrals. Also, several university-affiliated programs have begun offering certification programs in patient advocacy, but to date, there are no recognized standards for such a credential. In general, the more experienced and educated an advocate is, the greater the cost. It may be money well-spent to have an objective, trained professional looking out for the best interests of the patient. Effective advocates can facilitate more successful interaction between doctor and patient, and most busy physicians appreciate having someone available to help patients better understand their care. .

Swirls frozen yogurt shop offers unique, delicious flavors BY KELLEY CARLSON ith hot days just around the corner, frozen yogurt shop Swirls is a place where people can enjoy a cool treat. The company touts its yogurt as a healthy meal and snack alternative. It cites a number of benefits, including the lowering of cholesterol through live and active cultures; the promotion of healthy digestion; an increase in metabolism; high calcium, protein and potassium; boosting of the immune system; and the building of strong bones. “We have unique flavors and excellent-tasting yogurt,” said Evan Wilensky, chief executive officer of ESW Investments Inc., which owns Swirls. “You can definitely taste the difference between our yogurt and another frozen yogurt shop because of the premium product we use.” Swirls has been serving the coastal North County area since 2008 and was an instant success, Wilensky noted. Today, there are two locations in Encinitas and Carmel Valley, and he frequents both of them. “I love serving a healthy, quality

product, and I make sure the customers have a great time and experience at all the Swirls locations,” Wilensky said. The 2002 Torrey Pines High School graduate emphasized that he loves being part of the community, and he ensures that the frozen yogurt shop is an active participant in local events such as fundraisers and school activities. Residents have shown their appreciation by voting Swirls as their top choice for frozen yogurt five years in a row in the Best of North Coast readers poll for the Del Mar Times and associated newspapers. Perhaps one reason for its popularity is the variety. There are 52 flavors of frozen yogurt — including nonfat and low-fat — and they rotate daily. The most popular kinds include Cake Batter, Red Velvet, Dulce de Leche, Tart Pomegranate and Cookies ’n’ Cream. On any given day, a customer will find a vanilla flavor, a chocolate option, Cookies ’n’ Cream, either peanut butter or peanut butter cup, and non-dairy and non-sugar selections, Wilensky said. The

Encinitas store serves 10 flavors daily, while Carmel Valley carries 12. Next month, Swirls is preparing to add a new twist to its frozen yogurt lineup. The dessert shop will be offering soft-serve gelato and soft-serve Italian ice, alongside its flagship product. The new flavors are still to be determined, but they will add to the already-diverse array that ranges from tart to traditional. Meanwhile, customers are able to enhance their dessert with an

assortment of toppings, and with 24 available, there’s room for creative concoctions. Fresh fruit is delivered to Swirls locations each day, with offerings driven by the season, and there’s everything from mango and kiwi to strawberries. Among the dry toppings are mini chocolate chips, mini M&Ms, gummy bears, chopped peanut butter cups, rainbow and chocolate sprinkles, and old-fashioned granola. And there are nearly a half-dozen sauces, including chocolate, marshmallow, caramel,

peanut butter and raspberry. Because it’s self-serve, patrons have the ability to perfect their product, which is priced by the ounce. Wilensky revealed that he also has another dessert concept that he has just finalized. He wasn’t able to elaborate on details, other than it is separate from Swirls and not frozen yogurt, but he promised that “everyone will love it, from little kids to seniors. I can’t wait to offer it to the entire community.” The Encinitas Swirls is at 204 N. El Camino Real, Suite G; call (760) 479-2442. The Carmel Valley location is at 12925 El Camino Real, Suite AA1 (Del Mar Highlands Shopping Center); call (858) 794-7033. Hours for both locations are currently 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Marine Colonel Jack Kelly Way Dedication Ceremony to be held Memorial Day A retired Marine Corps colonel who was so beloved that more than 1,000 people attended his memorial service will have part of an Encinitas street renamed in his honor on Memorial Day, May 30 at 1045 a.m. at 210 West F Street in downtown Encinitas. The public is invited to support and attend this dedication ceremony which will be held at the San Dieguito American Legion Post 416, located just a few blocks west of Coast Highway and south of Encinitas Moonlight Beach in North County San Diego. The entire street will be blocked off and the ceremony will be held outdoors. A detachment from the United States Marine Corps will raise the flag as a traditional observance to half-staff and then at noon will raise it to full staff position for the remainder of the day. The Elks, The Nice Guys and the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick’s philanthropic organizations will be present. An outdoor barbeque and live music by National Recording Country Music Artist Amy Scruggs will be included in the Memorial Day dedication ceremony. Street parking will be limited. Attendees are encouraged to utilize Moonlight Beach

parking lot. Memorial Day is a time each year to remember those who died for our nation in war against our enemies. In honoring these good men, it is just as important to remember what they were fighting and dying to defend and to preserve. The San Dieguito American Legion Post 416 Commander Steve Lewandowski states that “Colonel Jack Kelly was probably one of the most likable guys you’ve ever met — he had a certain charisma that drew people to him like a magnet.” The San Dieguito American Legion Post 416 will continue to carry on “The Colonel Jack Kelly Way” legacy of inviting and drawing the community together and thanking them for serving their country. The American Legion members of Post 416 welcome all active duty, veterans and family members in the community. The American Legion is open daily Monday thru Friday 1 – 9 p.m., dinner is served, 5-8 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. – 9 p.m., dinner 5:30-7 p.m..

Rancho Coastal Humane Society to host 'Animal Communicator' — learn to talk with animals Cindy Brody, nationally-renowned Animal Communicator, Reiki Master, author and originator of CinergE, an energetic healing modality that can be applied to all living beings, will be teaching a two- day animal communication class at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, May 7 and May 8. Brody has been working with CinergE for over 30 years. She lives in the Hudson Valley of New York, and travels all over the country teaching and working with horses, dogs, cats, and the people who love them. She has always been a hands-on person. At the age of 9 she discovered she had energy in her hands. While staying with her grandparents on their farm in northwestern Nebraska, she found that the “heat” in her hands could help tame wild barn kittens. Brody’s work saves lives by helping people understand their beloved four-legged friends. A dog who is depressed, a horse that bucks, a cat who marks, has a story and she gives them a voice and saves many animals from being rehomed, or left in a shelter. Her clients are

often surprised about the detailed things that their pets reveal, things that could not be known otherwise by someone outside the home. CinergE is a light touch hands on therapy that is easy to learn. It brings the body back into balance, relieving physical and mental stress. The body then heals itself. In her Developing Intuition and Animal Communication clinic, Brody teaches how to tune into the messages animals have to share through photographs. These easy to learn techniques will help people to listen with their hearts and to hear their four-legged family members inner voices. She will also teach an introduction to CinergE, energy balancing skills to help open intuitive channels. Space is limited, so advance registration is required. The clinic will meet Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, 389 Requeza St, Encinitas, 92024. Contact Danielle at (858) 699-7291 to register.

SAN DIEGUITO ART GUILD

San Dieguito Art Guild to hold 2016 Mother’s Day Art, Garden & Studio Tour The San Dieguito Art Guild, a nonprofit guild, hosts the 2016 Mother’s Day Weekend Art, Garden & Studio Tour. This is a self-guided, driving tour on Saturday and Sunday, Mother’s Day weekend, May 7 and 8, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Tickets are good for both days and homes may be re-visited. Take your mom or best friends on a leisurely tour of the eight North County homes where you can peek into an assortment of fascinating artists’ studios, peruse more then 30 exhibits of locally made art, and relax in each unique coastal garden. Artists from the San Dieguito Art Guild will be positioned in the gardens — showing and selling their paintings, ceramics, glass, gourd art, fiber arts, photography, jewelry, and much more. Free refreshments will be served at every stop. The tour includes an eclectic group of homes, gardens and art studios from Encinitas to South Carlsbad. Step into the “Old World” to view a home with tromp

L’oeil paintings that grace ceilings and walls giving a French provincial atmosphere. View the amazing outdoor kitchen, dining and living room, wisteria covered arbor, and lovely terraced slope. Walk into a living room at another home and you’d swear the walls were stone cut blocks like a European castle. Actually, it’s the homeowner’s faux textured painted walls. This two-day event is the major fundraiser of the year for the San Dieguito Art Guild. Without funds from this tour the Guild would operate at a loss. Tickets are $25 per person and may be purchased at the Off Track Gallery (937 South Coast Highway 101, Suite C-103, Encinitas), at OffTrackGallery.com, or at each home both days of the tour. Children 17 and under are free. This is a favorite tour of many San Diegans — many of whom take this tour year after year. For more information: SanDieguitoArtGuild.com, swanson121@cox.net, 760-805-0434.

Prepare for summer visitors with big pots of blooming plants BY EVELYN WEIDNER The summer influx of visiting friends is about to begin, but oops, the patio is looking a bit tattered. There is nothing in bloom. Yes, the succulents are great, but where is the color that says sunny San Diego? Big pots of blooming plants are the answer. Start with large pots — at least 16 inches or larger. More soil equals more water storage, plus roots have room to grow. Choose the right plants for the right spot. Before you choose ask these questions: How large will it get? How long will it bloom? How much shade or sun? What are the problems to look out for? Note: There are no perfect people and there are no perfect plants. Know what to expect and be proactive. There are organic and traditional products available for almost every potential problem. Buy the product and use it when needed — letting it sit on your shelf does nothing! To bring easy color, create all around mounded combinations that are full of blooms — a showpiece of only geraniums, begonias, petunias or a mixture of plants that grow easily together. Hint: Don’t put a slow grower in with plants that grow really fast. The “piller, thriller, spiller” combination is a popular concept. Your center plant is the thriller, the prettiest bloomer that catches everyone’s attention. The spillers are the fill-ins or hanging plants that surround your thriller plant. Optional is your pillar plant — this is the tall plant in the back to give you some extra height. A few of Evelyn’s choices: geraniums — ivy type is the easiest. Ivy geraniums do everything. Second, a ground cover, basket or a pot of color — they love the sun and thrive in the heat. Money saver: Every once in a while take a few cuttings to start some new geraniums. This encourages even more new growth and gives you some small plants to use in summer sun combinations. Don’t know how? Weidner’s April 30 greenhouse tours will show you (see below for more info). What about the other geraniums that aren’t the ivy type? Upright growers with huge clusters of red, pink or white flowers — super easy and will last for years. Hint: Watch out for the night flying moth that brings the geranium petunia budworm. Keep the spray with the letters “BT” or “spinosad” on the label handy and start a bi-monthly spray on the buds beginning in May. Shifting gears, let’s talk about begonias. There are lots to choose from. Biggest show: begonia dragon wings or incredibly orange begonia encanto, while the prettiest begonia is the

rosebud solenia. All will take a good amount of coastal sun, tolerate the warmer weather and give you a great big show for your money. Best show for the shade garden are the nonstop tuberous with the big bushy upright Angelwings for the background. How about the longest lasting all-year blooms? The mandevilla that’s called dipladenia. Plant in a pot or planter box with full to half-day sun. Water twice a week, feed monthly, and there will be guaranteed blooms all year. Looking for splashier scarlet color? That’s the mandevilla sun parasol group with either a climber or hanging variety. Loves the sun and hot weather — it takes a winter blooming break. The right plant for the right pot — plant blue scaevola into that big pot by the sunny pool or patio. This all-year bloomer loves a big tall container. It’s not messy and keeps forever growing bigger, plus it blooms all year. In a basket it needs to be well watered, but in a large pot, a twice a week soaking will do. How many other blooming plants are ready to bring your garden to life? Fuchsias, impatiens, gerberas, petunias and so many more. To see them all and take a behind-the-scenes greenhouse tour, come to Weidner’s Gardens Spring Open House/Greenhouse tours: April 30 at 695 Normandy Rd. in Encinitas. Tours will be held at 11 a.m., noon and 2 p.m. During the event, learn how to propagate along with all the growing tips you can possibly want. Enjoy a parade of bloomers and succulents in ready-to-go baskets and pots.

La Costa Canyon opened Avocado League West play with a dramatic series victory. The Mavericks rallied from a two-run deficit in their last at-bat, scoring three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat Vista 6-5 in the decisive game of a three-game series on April 16. Ryan Orr had three hits including a double and three RBI to lead the Mavericks and Griffin Teisher and Micky Moniak each added

two hits. The Mavericks lost the series opener 2-1 on April 12. But they rebounded for a 15-7 win two days later as Moniak led a 15-hit attack, going 4 for 5 and completing three legs of the cycle with a home run, two triples and a single. Moniak drove in seven runs and scored four runs. Orr had three hits including two doubles and three RBI and Kooper Christ, Brandon Bay and Reed Labar each added two hits. The Mavericks improved their overall record for the season to 11-5. — Reported by Gideon Rubin

CCA Envision Theater student presents 'Hateful Hands' Jacob Surovsky, senior and Theater Conservatory student, is ready to present his directorial debut to the public this week with his senior thesis, titled “Hateful Hands.” As a third year member of Theater Conservatory, Surovsky has had the opportunity to work on a senior thesis project. In this project, Surovsky has compiled all the techniques and skills he’s learned during his time in Theater Conservatory and applied them to a new piece of live theater. “Hateful Hands” is a fusion of puppetry and William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, two of Jacob’s greatest passions. The show plays off themes of manipulation and the supernatural that are prevalent in Shakespeare’s text, creating a fresh and exciting look at Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy. Leading a cast and crew of all high school students, Surovsky is stepping into the role of director for the first time after four years of theater training in the Envision Theater Program. In addition, over the past school year, he has worked countless hours outside of school constructing full body puppets from scratch for the show. The conclusion to this enormous effort opens this Thursday, April 21 at Canyon Crest Academy. Showtimes are: April 21, 7 p.m.; April 22, 4:30/7 p.m.; and April 23, 2/7 p.m. at the Canyon Crest Academy Black Box Theater. The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization providing fantastic opportunities across academics, athletics, and the arts, and creating an environment where students can thrive. The mission of the foundation is to enrich the experience of every student every day. Your tax-deductible donation to the CCA Foundation is vitally needed to continue our support of these programs.

Grauer archers flex their bows at state tournament The Grauer School’s High School and Middle School Archery teams recently scored big in the California State Archery Tournament, presented by Olympic Archery in Schools (OAS) at the Easton Archery Center of Excellence in the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. The Grauer archers, led by coaches Trevor Olson and Scott Leonhard, already won the 1st-place San Diego County Championship Team trophy last month. On April 2, they returned to challenge the top archers in the state. At the state tournament, the best archers from San Diego teams squared off against the best from Los Angeles. The largest contingent for Team San Diego came from Grauer, as a result of the team’s success at the county championship. Throughout the intense competition, the Grauer athletes were confident, respectful, and supportive, cheering on their competitors as friends. Grauer parent Al Chan, who came to watch his son, Kellen, and the Grauer team compete, remarked, “Archery seems to be an ideal sport for The Grauer School. Our archers compete at the highest level, and the sport’s culture fits so well into the school’s Core Values and small school culture.” The Grauer team had a great overall performance, finishing as the 4th-place team in California. Three Grauer

Members of The Grauer School archery teams. students also scored individual honors ––8th-grader Charlie Merson earned a Gold Medal as the top Middle School Boys competitor, Junior Lily Nash earned 2nd place and a Silver Medal in the High School Girls competition, and Junior Spencer Wirick earned 4th place in the High School Boys competition. Grauer’s Athletic Director Trevor Olson, an archer himself, has developed the archery program at The Grauer School. Olson said, “Archery is a beautiful movement that produces

results far beyond the rings of a target face. With the support of Dr. Stuart Grauer, our Head of School, I’ve been able to take my personal passion and turn it into a successful educational tool for our school. We started archery at Grauer four years ago and the program has grown each year, reaching a new level of success when we joined the Olympic Archery in Schools (OAS) program last year. “OAS is an established nationwide program with a competition structure

where our archers can compete with other top-ranked archers, Olson added. “We’re passionate about collaborating in the growth of the OAS program, so more local schools can realize the potential that a bow can have in the development of a young person’s upbringing. Since The Grauer School is one of only a few private schools in California that compete in the OAS, it is pivotal that we not only continue to nourish archery at Grauer but also help others in the state understand the significance archery has on a teenage student’s mental and physical growth. We’re dedicated to paving a path for future Grauer students and other schools with the ability, courage, and interest to follow in our footsteps.” Dr. Grauer added, “The Grauer School has emerged beautifully in individual and small team sports like archery, surfing, arena soccer, tennis, and various sports that don’t require helmets. We even have a middle school surfer-scholar scholarship program!” The next step for the Grauer Archery team is competing in the OAS Indoor Nationals competition on April 30 at the Olympic Training Center. Competitors from the western U.S. will compete in Chula Vista, California, in a virtual competition against archers from the eastern U.S., who will be shooting at the same time in Newberry, Florida.

FROM CUFFS, A9 generic-looking cuffs— for which he had the only key — to his competitor’s shows. Posing as a policeman with mass-market cuffs, he’d challenge the performers to escape the device so he could humiliate them onstage. While he appreciates questions about cuff history, he’s not too fond of the frequent jokes he and his ex-wife received over the years about the use of handcuffs for sex play. “I just don’t get that,” he said. “When I hear that, I think ‘what a dumb idiot you are.’ We collectors are all about the history and the usage. We’re serious about this stuff.” Lyons also owns a few pairs of McKenzie Mitts, 1920s-era mitten-like steel restraints that cover the entire hand to the fingertips. They were quickly discontinued by law enforcement when they realized prisoners couldn’t go to the bathroom in the rigid devices. Other impractical cuffs he owns are the French chain Berliners that are too difficult to place on a writhing suspect and American thumb cuffs, which are too easy to wriggle out of. There are “nippers,” corkscrew-like single cuffs from the 1880s that can be twisted tight to make a prisoner more compliant; dainty “lady cuffs” for small-boned people; and pre-Civil Warera Palmers ring cuffs that came in five sizes and operated with screw keys. There are also styles with colorful names like the Oregon Boot and Arkansas Toothpick and the “San Diegans,” a pair of cuffs unearthed at San Diego’s Presidio Park in Mission Valley dating to the 1700s. One of his rarest pieces is a pair of Muhlenfeld leg irons, heavy-duty restraints made in Germany in the early 20th century. He believes he owns one of just two surviving pairs in the world. He also spent $6,900 (the most he ever paid) for a rare pair of 1850-era Stotz leg irons from

Germany. Most collectors, he said, favor the beauty and engineering of 19th and 20th century German and Finnish cuffs. Fakery is rife in the handcuff collectibles industry and Lyons is often called on to identify reproductions. The numbers and names stamped into each pair of cuffs can help in tracing an item’s maker and provenance (history of ownership). Crude construction made to look old-fashioned and modern welding techniques are also dead giveaways of fraud. Among Lyons’ collection is a ball and chain, which he said is one of the most faked collectibles sold online and at auction. Ball and chain devices were made to keep prisoners on the farm or road crews from running away. They were cheap and effective but not showpieces. Any ball stamped prominently with a large logo like Folsom, Negro Woman or Andersonville is a fake, he said, and never fall for a ball stamped Alcatraz (the island jail didn’t have much of a problem with escapees). Lyons still actively buys and sells items and is always traveling to meet and exchange with other collectors. The Guinness World Record for the largest handcuff collection is 1,350 items, set in 2007 by Stan Willis of Cincinnati. Lyons isn’t certain about where he ranks in the world behind Willis, but he believes he might be No. 2 or 3. He said the size of his collection and its value— probably around $200,000 today — isn’t what’s important to him. He’s more interested in the detective work involved in finding something unique, tracing its history and sharing his finds with his friends. “You should see us collectors when we get together,” he said. “We can talk about the numbers stamped on cuffs and the tiniest details for hours and hours.” Pam Kragen is a writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune

FROM EDUCATION, A12 annually, including the San Diego County Fair and the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club’s live horse racing. Their mission is to manage and promote a world-class, multi-use, public assembly facility with an emphasis on agriculture, education, entertainment and recreation in a fiscally sound and environmentally conscientious manner for the benefit of all. After considering the benefits of collaboration with Solana Center, the Fairgrounds Board of Directors voted unanimously to proceed with the partnership. The board’s enthusiasm was underscored by Fairgrounds CEO and General Manager Tim Fennell, who exclaimed, “When do we start?” “We are proud to partner with this award-winning organization. Moving forward we will continue our legacy of being environmentally proactive and good stewards of this property and the land and water that surround the Del Mar Fairgrounds,” added Fennell. Solana Center has had a significant presence at the San Diego County Fair’s Infield Farm, where visitors can see thriving vegetable gardens, watch worms turn food scraps into rich soil amendment, see a colony of bees in action, and much more. Solana Center’s booth last year was visited by thousands of people and hosted composting workshops, a rain gutter garden powered by solar energy, a

planting bar for children, and other interactive gardening activities. The interactive booth was sponsored by the City of San Diego’s Environmental Services Department and EcoScraps (http://ecoscraps.com/). As part of the partnership, Solana Center will unveil its Eco Container at the San Diego County Fair this summer. The Eco Container is a re-purposed shipping container that has been transformed into a center for environmental innovation, featuring solar energy, a rooftop garden, greywater demo system, rain barrels, composting, drought tolerant landscaping and California-friendly gardens. Located in the Infield Farm, the Eco Container is a demonstration site and classroom designed to educate all ages about sustainability and inspire people to create energy-saving, water-efficient and eco-friendly living spaces. Solana Center is offering sponsorship opportunities to businesses, organizations and individuals interested in supporting the Eco Container. Solana Center’s future plans are to offer workshops and a water conservation event at the Fairgrounds. For more information about Solana Center’s partnership with the Del Mar Fairgrounds or becoming an Eco Container sponsor, contact Solana Center’s Executive Director, Jessica Toth, at jessica@solanacenter.org. — Submitted press release

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263

The Myth of the Home Remedy Vein Cure Many people go out of their way to avoid surgery or other invasive treatment, which is understandable. For some, there is a genuine squeamishness when it comes to needles and the potential for any level of pain. Then there are those who are wary of the time or ﬁnancial commitment involved in surgical and non-surgical procedures, with added time for recovery. Others yet have a mistrust of traditional or western medicine, preferring the homeopathic approach, favoring herbs, poultices, and essential oils. Thousands of dollars can be spend each year just by one person on supplements and home remedies—even in

the case of varicose and spider veins. There are popular searches on the internet for “Get rid of varicose veins naturally” and “How to get rid of varicose veins at home.” There are certainly plenty of results for supplements and remedies to “melt away your symptoms.” Millions of dollars, in fact, are spent a year, both on personal online retailers and at general nutrition stores, on supplements and creams that have no proven medical effects, have not been approved by the FDA, and in some cases can be hazardous to your health. Supplements are an unregulated industry—and because of the fact that 50% of people will develop varicose or spider veins in their lifetime, and many of those will seek home remedies, millions of dollars will continue to be spent on just vein remedies alone. It won’t matter if they are proven to be effective or not because people will continue to buy them, companies will continue to make and sell them for a proﬁt, and until the companies are forced into regulation, new consumers will continue to pay up, seeking magic potions and snake oils. It is generally a good thing when people

make choices toward an active lifestyle and healthy living, including organic eating and avoiding unhealthful habits, especially with diet. In my columns, I’m an active proponent on doing whatever you can to prevent the conditions for varicose and spider veins to proliferate. But the truth is that some people are genetically predisposed to the condition, and there is no 100% proven prevention for any venous condition. And once you develop this condition, no home remedy will make them go away. Pine bark, witch hazel, grapeseed oil, cayenne pepper, immersion baths, green tea, chestnut bark, St. John’s wort, aloe vera, butcher’s broom, arnica Montana, and even turpentine and enemas have all been cited as cures for varicose veins—but they do not work. Any “improvements” noted from home remedies are a result of the placebo effect. Topical creams and ointments are a waste of money as well, and even exercise is not a cure (although don’t give up on exercise!). I know people’s fears of procedures are real. And for those whose mothers had the old fashioned vein treatments, those fears

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

are not unfounded. But vein therapy has become much less invasive than the outdated veins stripping of years past. All but the most severe treatment is a quick ofﬁce visit that is so simple and non-traumatizing that it can be done on a work lunch break. Laser treatment and foam sclerotherapy are stateof-the-art treatments that, for some, involve almost no pain at all. Varicose veins are a medical condition, and if left untreated, can become something very serious indeed. You do not want to jeopardize your health. But it is good to be informed about your options. Speaking to a medical professional such as a phlebologist can answer many of your questions and put you at ease about treating your vein disease the right way. If you’re ready for a consultation on removing your spider or varicose veins, or if you just want more information on laser treatment or sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit our website at www. sdveininstitute.com.

www.encinitasadvocate.com FROM BUSINESS, A1 recently demanded a huge rent increase from Bety’s Tacos and the other tenants, essentially forcing them out to make way for high-end retail. A phone call to Festival Development Corporation inquiring about plans for the complex wasn’t returned by press time. Along with Bety’s, the plaza once housed Figaro’s Pizza, 7-Eleven, Swami’s Café (it relocated a stone’s throw east) and Martin Fine Art Classes (it moved to 162 S. Rancho Santa Fe Road). One of the few remaining businesses there is Donna’s Tailor Shop, and it’s moving next month to 205 S. El Camino Real in Encinitas. Storefronts have changed hands on Coast Highway 101, too, though spread out over the thoroughfare. Encinitas 101 Main Street has stepped up its efforts to fill vacant or soon-to-be vacant commercial spaces with businesses that fit the community, according to Thora Guthrie, the group’s executive director. “It’s up to the property owner to make that decision,” Guthrie said. “Still, we can play a role in that process. The idea is you don’t just want the first person willing to put up money. You want someone who will make money and fit in with the vibe of the area.” Besides looking for businesses that match the community, Encinitas 101 is salvaging historic business signs, arguing they’re another important factor in the look and feel of the area. Many locals last year were surprised when the iconic Surf Cleaners sign was unceremoniously removed, altering the face of downtown Encinitas. In response, the Encinitas City Council in the future will discuss relaxing city rules to let business owners take down and repair their vintage signs without fear of the signs losing their grandfathered status. Guthrie said it can be jarring when new businesses move in, but given time, many come to realize that they bring unique products and energy. As an example, she pointed to neighboring businesses UNIV, an events and music space called The Studio Encinitas, and To The Stars, a comic book and retail store started by former Blink-182 member Tom DeLonge. Also in that complex is GoodonYa Deli and Café, among the growing number of socially-conscious companies in Encinitas that have registered as b-corps or benefit corporations. “Encinitas is a no-brainer for this kind of entrepreneurship,” said Kristen Buchanan, the owner of GoodonYa, which is a b-corp, a designation for companies that prove with paperwork they pay employees fairly,

FROM FARM, A1 drought. She called attention to innovative Israeli rain barrels at the site, drip irrigation and soil that was amended to retain as much water as possible. Trustee Carol Skiljan said she’s excited by what’s happening at Farm Lab, adding it’s “coming full circle” with the area’s agricultural heritage. A request for Farm Lab’s cost wasn’t returned by press time. Most of the site development is being paid for by Proposition P, a $44 million bond passed in 2010 for facility and technology upgrades. To help Farm Lab expand, Michelove

conserve on utilities or aid the planet in other ways. Buchanan said socially-minded companies are opening in Encinitas because residents value the environment and transparency. She did, however, temper her enthusiasm by saying that permitting for new businesses is difficult and costly. Agreeing on this point was Encinitas Chamber of Commerce CEO Bob Gattinella. He said the city needs to eliminate red tape — otherwise, it risks losing out on new mom and pops that have fewer resources compared to larger companies for navigating the lengthy permit process. Gattinella said as with any city, Encinitas has seen its fair share of businesses leave or close their doors in the past few years. But, he added, new businesses often swoop in quickly to take their place. On that note, he said the city has a pretty low vacancy rate — it was 7 percent on El Camino Real and 4.2 percent in Old Encinitas, which includes downtown Encinitas, according to a chamber tally last December. “Encinitas is a very lucrative area, and businesses want to be here,” Gattinella said. With so much competition among businesses and an improving economy, commercial rental rates have climbed over the last four years. Retail rates per square foot were $2.58 in 2012 and now stand at $4.25 in downtown Encinitas, according to data from the real estate company Cushman & Wakefield. Higher rents have been cited among the reasons some local businesses shuttered, including restaurant El Callejon. Surfy Surfy owner J.P. St. Pierre said another factor is increasingly playing a role in the business landscape: baby boomers retiring. “If a business has been around for 30 years, there might be a son, daughter or someone else lined up to take it over, but that’s not always the case, and the business ends there,” he said. St. Pierre said that while driving on Highway 101 he sometimes wonders what will happen to the long-time businesses on the thoroughfare, adding a “generational shift” is upon us. Carris Rhodes, executive director of Leucadia 101 Main Street, said there have been quite a few new businesses along Highway 101 in Leucadia the past few years, drawing more foot traffic to the area. Although change has been constant, what’s reassuring, she added, is that small businesses keep investing in Leucadia. “If a small business goes out, 95 percent of the time it’s replaced with another small, independently-owned business,” Rhodes said. said numerous grants, donations and sponsorships are on the table. This prompted the board to ask that a future agenda item be brought back on sponsorship policies at district facilities. Farm Lab launched last spring, following five years of planning and permitting delays. The 10-acre site was gifted to the district as part of a development deal, and enrollment projections showed there wouldn’t be enough students to justify another school, according to the district. So, the district board in 2010 approved a farm concept to reinforce science lessons learned in the classroom.

Eye Plastic Surgery:

new pr actice specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive eyelid surgery Dr. Srinivas Iyengar is your San Diego eyelid surgery specialist, standing as the only Encinitas/Carlsbad surgeon certified by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. Board-certified and fellowship-trained, he recently opened his boutique, subspecialty practice, San Diego Eyelid Specialists, on North El Camino Real and is thrilled to treat patients near his hometown. “The community has welcomed me back and I am excited to make a positive difference,” Dr. Iyengar said. Originally a North County native, Dr. Iyengar graduated from the University of Colorado School of Medicine at the top of his class and served as Class President. He completed his surgical internship at Exempla St. Joseph Hospital in Denver, Colo. He completed his ophthalmic residency at the University of Kansas, after which he spent one year helping teach surgery around the world on a DC-10 airplane as part of the Flying Eye Hospital with the non-profit ORBIS International. “That was such a learning experience,” he said. “I was able to combine my interest in international medicine and my love of travel into an experience that helped a lot of people.”

The Importance of Eyelid Surgery Dr. Iyengar’s focus is on helping people improve their vision and confidence with cosmetic and reconstructive eyelid surgery. How do you know if you need eyelid surgery? Dr. Iyengar recommends visiting your eye doctor for a comprehensive evaluation. “This community has some outstanding eye doctors. We are a referral practice for oculoplastic surgery,” he said. “So if a patient’s doctor identifies an issue involving the eyelids or periocular area, they can be referred here for further evaluation and treatment.” Visiting your eye doctor first is crucial to ensuring a positive surgery experience. “The most important thing is patient safety,” Iyengar said. “If a patient suffers from dry eyes, for example, it’s best that they receive optimized treatments to take care of their issue before surgery.” Upper eyelid blepharoplasty, or “droopy eyelid” surgery, is a 30-minute, sameday procedure. Iyengar specializes in upper and lower eyelid surgery, lacrimal surgery, orbital surgery and periocular trauma. This includes upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, midface lifts, ptosis repair, ectropion repair, entropion repair, eyelid tumors, eyelid trauma, Botox, facial fillers and revisional eyelid surgery. “They say that your eyes are the window to your soul,” Dr. Iyengar said. “The eyelids are also integral to protecting and maintaining the health of the eye.”
