Delays to lifeguard project will impact beach season BY BARBARA HENRY Throughout much of the busy summer season, people will find unexpected construction activity and fewer places to park at Encinitas’ Moonlight Beach. Construction of a $3.7 million lifeguard tower, which was initially proposed to conclude before Memorial Day, now looks unlikely to be done until the end of July, city associate civil engineer Stephanie Kellar said last week. Many days of rain between October and March and each “post-rain cleanup” day afterward put the project about a month behind schedule, she said. And, that has only been one of the causes of project delays. The city also faced unexpected trouble with the demolition of the old lifeguard tower because asbestos and lead were discovered in the building, she said. Then, there was a seawall issue — the city expected to SEE LIFEGUARDS, A21

Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear addresses a crowd of about 115 people at the 24th annual Mayor’s Interfaith Community Prayer Breakfast on May 4 at the Encinitas Community and Senior Center.

Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast focuses on the homeless BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Showing compassion toward the homeless was among the strongest messages given to a crowd of about 115 people of all faiths at the 24th annual Mayor’s Interfaith Community Prayer Breakfast at the Encinitas Community and Senior Center on May 4. The event, held on the National Day of Prayer, welcomed about a half-dozen religious and community leaders of various faiths to address the crowd. Mayor Catherine Blakespear, in her opening speech, urged those in attendance to think about the homeless.

While the attendees woke up in the morning under warm covers, with the luxury of taking a hot shower immediately after, Blakespear reminded them that those living on the streets weren’t as fortunate. “Most of the things we take for granted are a luxury they can’t afford,” she said. Blakespear noted the 2017 Point-in-Time Count, in which volunteers ventured across the city on an early January morning to count the homeless. According to that survey, homelessness is up in the city, with 117 individuals living on the streets or in shelters in Encinitas, compared to 93 people SEE PRAYER, A4

Cannabis festival coming to Del Mar Fairgrounds BY SEBASTIAN MONTES here the turf meets the surf meets the spliff? The Del Mar Fairgrounds has inked a contract for its first-ever cannabis festival — and the largest by far ever in San Diego County. As many as 6,000 people are expected for the Sept. 23 event, which organizers are calling the Goodlife Festival. Attendance will be limited to age 21 and up. No sale, sampling or “gifting” of THC products will be allowed, but attendees will be able to bring their own marijuana to consume in designated areas. Goodlife will allow

the sale of cannibidol and hemp, both of which lack THC’s psychoactive punch. The festival is the brainchild of Lawrence Bame of Westward Expos, which has put on home and garden shows at the fairgrounds for more than 30 years. He’s been percolating the idea for a cannabis festival for the past five years. Passage of Proposition 64 in November, which legalized recreational marijuana, was the turning point he needed to move forward with Goodlife. “It’s the new dawn,” Bame said. “This has been a long, long process. Nobody took this lightly.” SEE FESTIVAL, A22

Small Business 101 Workshop is May 16

Dozens of entrepreneurs received valuable tips and information to help their business succeed in Encinitas’ thriving business sector during the Small Business 101 Workshop held on Feb. 23. The City of Encinitas, in partnership with the San Diego County Library and San Diego Law Library, hosted a seminar to help local entrepreneurs in their quest to start a small business in the city. Experts provided insights on what these small business entrepreneurs need to know for everything from accounting and insurance, to business loans and community resources. The next workshop is planned for May 16 from 1:30-4:30 p.m. at the City of Encinitas City Hall. “The goal of this workshop was to connect local entrepreneurs with business experts in the community so that they can be successful in starting a business in the Encinitas community,” said Mark Delin, assistant city manager for the City of Encinitas. “All of the attendees were enthusiastic and engaged with the panelists.

It was fantastic to see such interest in this type of forum and we’re looking to build on the success of this event with a series of business seminars.” Experts presenting at the seminar provided information on City of Encinitas resources, legal issues regarding starting and managing a small business, accounting, insurance, small business loans, and local community organizations and resources. “The workshop was a tremendous way to connect residents to local experts to share advice and opportunities, plus further discuss how to successfully launch and operate their own business here in Encinitas,” said Thora Guthrie, executive director of Encinitas 101 MainStreet Association. People interested in future small business seminars can sign up to receive the “Small Business 101 Interest Group” email updates on the City of Encinitas website.

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - MAY 5, 2017 - PAGE A3

Lifelong friendship built letter by letter BY PAM KRAGEN “Hi George! How are you? I’m fine. How are ya doing in school? I’m 12-½.” With these words, cheerfully written on round smiley face stationery in November 1975, sixth-grader Lori Rubin launched an enduring pen pal relationship with New York eighth-grader George Ghossn. For 42 years they continued to exchange hand-written letters about once a month. But up until two weeks ago, the lifelong best friends had never met in person or even spoken on the phone. Then, when Lori, whose married name is Gertz, made a whirlwind visit to New York in mid-April, she and Ghossn finally met face to face. They hugged and cried together and then spent two hours reminiscing. On Tuesday morning they met again, this time in Encinitas for a presentation on the importance of friendship at The Grauer School, a private college prep academy that Gertz’s son, Jonah, attends. In an interview afterward, they sat close together and spoke with the familiarity and shared history of siblings. Gertz, 53, occasionally stopped talking mid-sentence to stare over at Ghossn, 56, incredulous that they were in the same room together after so many years. “I’m sorry. I’m having a moment,” she said. “I can’t believe that my George is here. I just love you so much.” Ghossn, of East Islip, N.Y., admits he’s the reason for the long-delayed meeting. Superstitious by nature, he worried that meeting Gertz would upset the delicate

balance of their old-fashioned letter-writing relationship. Every few years, she would write to ask if they could meet in person. He always declined. Then he lost his parents and both of his brothers and said he found himself all alone in the world. Alone, except for Gertz. “I didn’t want to meet her because I was afraid she wouldn’t like me, or that she’d be disappointed,” Ghossn said. “But then I had a lot of loss in my family and I realized she is my family and I needed to meet her. Now I wish I’d done it sooner. Our relationship is better tenfold.” Both agree that their friendship has taken on a richer dimension and they’re planning to spend the Christmas holidays together at the Encinitas home Gertz shares with her husband of nearly 20 years, Craig, and their children Jonah, 18, and Talia, 12. Craig, an attorney, was happy to finally meet George on Tuesday. One of the first things Lori told her future husband years ago was that giving up her friendship with George was non-negotiable. “Oh yeah, I always knew. George came with the package,” Craig said. The friendship was born as the result of a chain letter, a 1970s fad where teens sent out letters to strangers in the hopes of getting even more back. Gertz was disappointed in the response she received from the chain letter so she picked Ghossn’s name off the enclosed address list and sent the 14-year-old New Yorker a pen pal request. He agreed. In her first letter she asked if he minded that she was Jewish (he didn’t). In his first

letter, he sent a school photo (which she loved). Then, with little exception, they continued exchanging letters over the years on stationery, notebook paper, scrap paper and even Post-It Notes. In the early years, they wrote about school, their families and friends and their hobbies. As they moved into their teens and their trust in each other deepened, they gave each other advice on issues like his girlfriends over the years (he and Gertz never had any romantic feelings for one another) and the chaos in her family. His letters were direct and candid. Hers were deeply felt and poetic. She would go on to become a published author. “Her words are so beautiful,” Ghossn said. “She always knew the perfect thing to say so that no matter how much loss I felt, her words were enough. They made me feel better. They brought me out of the darkness into the light.” Gertz said she sees letter writing as a sacred and ancient art that younger generations no longer value. Because letter writing takes so long, it allows her time to reflect, self-edit and dig deep into her soul to express what she’s feeling. Both she and Ghossn have saved virtually all of the letters they exchanged. As they grew older, college and careers became the focus of the letters. Ghossn went to work for the Suffolk County Water Authority and started performing in musical theater, sending Gertz photos of himself in costume for various roles. Gertz got a journalism degree, moved frequently and became a writer and marketer.

K.C. ALFRED/SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE

New York resident George Ghossn and Encinitas resident Lori Gertz have been pen pals for 42 years and recently met in person for the first time She married and sent Ghossn birth announcements and family photos. Several years ago, her family left the Midwest and moved to Encinitas. In 2006, their relationship shifted in a more serious direction. Ghossn sent Gertz an emotional letter scrawled on an airplane cocktail napkin about his mother’s recent death. With cards and support, she helped him through the first of many losses. He was there for her as well when the bottom fell out of her world a few years later. In 2003, the Gertzes adopted an infant girl who, unbeknownst to them, was born with fetal alcohol syndrome and severe mental SEE FRIENDS, A21

FROM PRAYER, A1 last year. She said finding help for these individuals is one of the city’s top priorities. Last year, through its “Opening Doors” program, the city housed 19 people previously living on the streets of Encinitas. “When I think about the combination of unfortunate circumstances that must exist for someone to live unsheltered on the street, I recommit the city, in partnership with our community organizations the Community Resource Center and Interfaith Community Service, to do what we can to create a better future for our most vulnerable community members,” she said. Greg Anglea, executive director of Interfaith Community Services, urged the crowd to think of the different perspectives that people have. Interfaith Community Services recently made and donated 1,200 hot meals for about 200 people living on the streets, he said. Additionally, the program helped 691 homeless individuals move into homes in the last year. To those people, a hot meal and shelter are rare. “When you don’t have those things, it makes a world of difference,” he said. “We need to understand we all have valid perspectives.” Prayers for the youth, community, world peace and spiritual growth were also given.

achievements like football, wrestling or la cross but theater? Now, things are changing as more students are willing to venture and explode their passion for arts.

Cardiff SEA hosts Scratch Day for children to increase coding skills

Cardiff SEA (Schools Education Association), a nonprofit organization representative of parents, staff, and community members to support and improve the education of children, will participate in Scratch Day, a global event where kids learn and increase coding skills on Saturday, May 13 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Ada Harris Elementary School at 1508 Windsor Rd, Cardiff, CA 92007. The event is open to all ages and abilities, and no previous programming experience is required. “Scratch Day gets kids excited about computer programming. Not every child will grow up to be a programmer, but every child should learn basic computer skills required for tomorrow’s job market,” said Ido Tuchman, Cardiff School District parent and

Scratch Day event coordinator. “The earlier kids start coding, the more fluent they will be in programming concepts.” Scratch Day is a global collection of events where people all over the world, of all programming levels, and those new to Scratch, congregate to meet, share and learn. Attendees can collaborate on different Scratch projects, attend workshops, share their ideas and experiences, and overall, have fun. “Computer programming skills are in high demand across industries, said, Jill Vinson, superintendent for Cardiff School District. “Opportunities such as Scratch Day enable students to engage in computer programming and develop their skills in a collaborative, creative, and fun atmosphere.

We appreciate the effort and vision of Ido Tuchman and his team of volunteers who are working hard to bring this event to our community.” Scratch is a free computer programming platform and online community for kids developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). With Scratch, kids and adults can create their own video games, animate stories, and explore computer science concepts. The Scratch Day event is free, but attendees must have an admission ticket in advance. There are only a limited number of seats, so those interested are advised to get their admission tickets early. For Scratch Day tickets and more details, visit www.busylabs.org/scratchday.

Launchbox’s Dan Negroni: Stop complaining, stay relevant BY SEBASTIAN MONTES It’s been three years since Dan Negroni traded in his life as a “CEO for hire” and started pouring his energies into his millennial-centric consulting firm Launchbox (launchbox365.com). And it’s been one year since that new life crystallized into his book “Chasing Relevance,” his take on how to get people over their generational hang-ups. We caught up with the 52-year-old Del Mar resident in Launchbox’s Sorrento Valley office last week and reflected on generational misconceptions and the future of the workplace as we know it. (Some answers have been edited for length.) Q: Complaints about millennials have been common fare for years now. Are the lessons being learned? A: I think the world is overbaked with the negative soundtrack for millennials. Everyone tells me “Oh millennials suck.” That’s not been my experience. I’ve meet 5,000 this year and 95 percent of them are amazing. The No. 1 thing they want is to learn and grow. And the next generation is coming up, Generation Z. Never before have there been five generations in the workforce, but you do now with the Gen Z. So I don’t think people can avoid it anymore. Q: You cite figures that millennials make up nearly 40 percent of the workforce. Why has it been so hard to assimilate such a large group? A: Let’s call Gen Z and millennials “digital natives.” That’s really what the distinction is. We’ve always complained about the generation beneath us — Socrates was complaining about Plato. What’s different now is they’ve grown up in a world where their every need has been served by digital. Tinder, Uber Eats, you can

order anything from Amazon and get it within a day. Everything is much easier. But then they get out of college and go into the workplace and everything is archaic and old and nothing’s easy. Here’s the challenge: the digital natives have no memory of what it used to be like. The people in power, they have a complete memory of what it used to be like, so they see the world as it was, which is not that relevant to the digital natives. So the disconnect is both sides. Young people need to get out of the me me me. They need to show up, be real and make it about others. Old people need to do the same thing. Stop complaining that you want it your way: that ship has sailed. Q: Sounds like the older millennials are growing up… A: They are our future, our employees, our customers and they’re even our bosses. So there’s this whole perspective that’s shifting. I mean, 37 is a grown-ass person right? You may be reporting to that person, they may be your boss and you may be my age, 52. So you better understand their perspective if you want to succeed in that workplace. Just as they should understand you, by the way. Both sides need to shift to making it about others, and stop whining and complaining. Q: This has implications that go far beyond the workplace… A: If we got out of our own way and started understanding millennials in the workplace, imagine the window they could give us to this next huge generation — 83 million strong — of consumers and buyers. That’s this huge thing that people don’t get; if I figure out how to treat my millennials right, there’s great insight into

Dan Negroni

SEBASTIAN MONTES

how my new next-generation customer wants to be treated. Isn’t it about time we start paying attention to what they want? They’re bigger, they want to be more innovative, and soon they will be able to afford to move to places like Del Mar. Q: On that note, what impacts do you see millennials having locally? A: Clearly, the corridor of Del Mar Heights has a lot of millennial professionals — service providers, accountants, the big law firms, a lot

of high tech employers in that area, too. But local officials have a problem: they don’t want growth and they don’t want traffic, but millennials like urban areas. So therein lies the challenge for those towns. The other challenge is the cost: how does a millennial afford to live in Solana Beach or Del Mar or Rancho Santa Fe? What does that say about those areas: do they become less innovative, less hip, less cool? Yes is probably the answer. Q: What does the future have in store for Launchbox? A: Our dance card is getting really full. We’ve added coaches. We’re expanding our workshops. The next big project is a partnership for a huge summit here in San Diego for millennials. That’ll be in February, and it’ll be sponsored by one of the biggest companies in San Diego. We’re also launching a podcast next month and we’re working on a TV show for coaching. We’ve also figured out a way to create an app that is like a career/workplace coach, that creates self-engagement and encourages growth. Q: It’s been a year since your book came out. Has that lived up to your goals? A: The book was written for a bunch of reasons, mostly to get the messaging and the tools out there. It became No. 1 on Amazon in its category. To sell 6,000 copies within a year when you self-publish is pretty cool. But more important is the impact it’s had on people’s lives, where you get people coming up to you saying, ‘I tried what you said in this section and I did it and it worked,’ or ‘I understand how to be a better parent to these millennials.’ So I think it’s doing what it was supposed to do.

The Office star Creed Bratton headed to Belly Up for night of music and comedy BY ROB LEDONNE There aren’t many people in entertainment who can say they’ve been a part of a smash television show as well as a hit band. As one of the stars of NBC’s hit comedy series The Office and a former member of the ’60s rock group The Grass Roots, Creed Bratton is one of the few who has that distinction. “From a philosophy point of view, you could say that everyone has their own destiny,” notes Bratton from his Los Angeles-area home. “If something changed or things were different, would I be where I am with these two successes under my belt?” One of the most popular comedies in television history, The Office, which starred Steve Carell as the bumbling Michael Scott and focused on a hapless group of workers for fictional paper company Dunder Mifflin, aired on NBC from 2005 to 2013. Along the way it was a ratings and critical hit, netting multiple Emmy awards. The half-hour sitcom also catapulted a then-unknown

group of actors into cult heroes, including Bratton who played an eponymous colleague who was equal parts strange and mysterious. “Everyone took their characters seriously,” said Bratton of the reason for the show’s hit status, which even inspired an Office convention in Scranton, Penn. “What we’d hear all the time is that it was real. I think that’s why we had such an audience. We didn’t have a laugh track and allowed for long awkward moments and emotion. When you see something like that, you’re like ‘Wow, this is refreshing.’” Over the show’s nine seasons, Bratton had a hand in some of the show’s most memorable moments. “I felt like the weird elder statesmen, and it was quite the part. I’m not that weird in real life, unfortunately for the fans,” Bratton laughs. “That's just the character. Otherwise I’d be in jail, or the character would be!” Bratton says one moment stands out in particular. “I shot a six-and-a-half-page scene with Steve Carell during season two’s

Halloween episode, when his character tries to fire me and I turn it around to have someone else fired,” he remembers. “The day after it aired, I see (costars) Rainn Wilson and John Krasinski walking toward me. They gave me a big bear hug and whispered in my ear, ‘You knocked it out of the park buddy! You killed it!’ I had to walk away because I was going to start crying. It meant so much to me because I respect these guys.” When it came to the show’s final season, Bratton notes, “There were a lot of tears and hugging. I worked on many, many shows where the people do not like each other. We genuinely like each other, we all get together. We even get together and play, we used to jam in my trailer.” Little known to fans of the show, how Bratton wound up on The Office was the result of a foray into music where he achieved success with The Grass Roots. The ’60s rockers, who topped the charts with hits ranging from “Let’s Live For Today” to “Midnight Confessions,” featured Bratton as

Creed Bratton their vocalist and guitarist. Incredibly, in despite of their immense success, members of the band were never paid for record sales thanks to a bad contract, leaving the members, including Bratton, destitute. “I’m amazed I was able to survive considering there was nothing coming in,” he notes. As a result, the ordeal led Bratton to leave music behind and pursue acting. However, Bratton isn’t bitter. “Everything happens for SEE CREED, A21

Reza Mahini, Persian Master Musician, and the Del Ava Ensemble to perform at Passport to the Silk Road May 13 The Silk Road was the main route for commercial goods, carried from country to country, in the 12th century. But the greatest value of the Silk Road was the exchange of culture. Every element of civilization, including the arts, became a mash up for Eurasian people and many cities became hubs of culture and learning. Encinitas Friends of the Arts (EFA) will recreate this cultural exchange at Passport to the Silk Road, on Saturday, May 13, 6-10 p.m. at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive, Encinitas, 92024. In keeping with EFA’s mission to celebrate diversity through arts and culture, the event will foster an appreciation and fresh awareness of the ancient and modern Silk Road, and raise funds for much-needed arts programs in the city. Passport to the Silk Road will include many of Southern California’s finest cultural artists, musicians, and dancers. Among the performers will be Grand Master Reza Mahini, with the Del Ava Ensemble, a classical singer of Persian music who plays tar, setar and daf. He has been hosted in Thailand, Dubai, Malaysia and the Philippines as well as Australia, New Zealand, Japan, France, Italy, Finland, Russia, South Africa. Delicious silk road-inspired food and drink will be provided while attendees enjoy a Zen painting demonstration by Cardiff artist Rosemary Kimbal, henna body art, shopping at the Silk & Spice Bazaar, and opportunity drawings of artwork and rare collectibles. As part of EFA’s ongoing Passport Series, this event is expected to sell out. Seating is limited. Advance tickets are $40 for EFA members, $45 for the general public or $50 at the door. For tickets and information, visit www.EncinitasArts.org. For more information, please email FriendsoftheArts1@gmail.com or call (760) 633-2746.

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. This two-day event is the major fundraiser

an Dieguito Union High School District trustee John Salazar has asked SDUHSD superintendent Eric Dill and board president Amy Herman to place on the May 11 board agenda the proposed state bill that would require all public middle and high schools to start school no earlier than 8:30 a.m. “Let’s show some leadership and support this bill,” Salazar wrote to Dill and Herman in an email. “It is good for the kids, and will bring in more revenue too.” The bill – SB 328 – has gained approval by the Senate Education Committee and is moving through the legislature, despite opposition from the California Teachers Association. Bill author Democratic Sen. Anthony Portantino said sound research from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control indicates overwhelmingly that later start times are healthier for teenage students whose sleep patterns in adolescence make early rising difficult. Studies conducted over the last two decades have shown conclusively that later start times promote student health and well-being, raise academic achievement and improve attendance. Reduced absenteeism means more revenue for school districts, most of which are funded based on the average daily attendance of students. It’s not just adolescents who would benefit from later start times. A recent study published in “Frontiers in Human Neuroscience” cites more data showing that “early education start times for students in the 14–24 age range are linked to chronic, irrecoverable sleep loss of more than two hours each day.” Based on this extended age range, the authors posit that college classes starting earlier than 9 a.m. are as equally detrimental to college

students as they are for high schoolers. The NPR article on this is titled “Down With 8 A.M. Classes: Undergrads Learn Better Later In The Day, Study Finds.” School districts have been presented with irrefutable evidence for decades, but few have taken any action. At last, someone in the California legislature is forcing their hand. Some history Back in 2002 and 2003, former Torrey Pines High School parent and community activist Wayne Dunlap worked tirelessly to get SDUHSD to change the start time at TPHS from the ungodly hour of 7:15 a.m. to the barely reasonable 8:15 a.m. The only trustee back then who is still serving on the SDUHSD board is Joyce Dalessandro, who was first elected in 1996. Dunlap lost his battle, even after gathering hundreds of signatures and armed with studies and more studies to show that later start times are better for students. Emails Dunlap wrote to me at the time reveal the depth of his insight into the insurmountable problems he faced. “School boards are not usually pro-active,” he wrote. “They come together once a month to discuss an agenda that is pretty much set by school officials, not the board. Then they go home. Rarely do any of the board members push their own ideas. “Also, school boards are the most status quo organizations in our society … They are easily swayed by status quo arguments … Hence, not much is changed and our schools remain doing things the same without much question. “So, if you want something done, you have to mount a strong, consistent, well-organized, intelligent campaign to get something on the board agenda and then passed. The community must initiate change because the school system

will not.” Dunlap and supporters asked for one hour – they got 30 minutes. This was called a compromise by the board and a huge disappointment by the petitioners. Amy Herman said she would be willing to discuss the issue at the next board meeting but was not comfortable voting on it yet, even though any vote on whether to support the bill would be purely symbolic. She said she’d like to hear more from parents on how later start times would impact them. San Dieguito supt. Dill said the item will be placed on the May 11 agenda for discussion only, no vote. No-hate zones In an unrelated subject, San Diego Unified School District’s controversial new anti-bullying campaign designed to help protect Muslim students has received nationwide attention. In developing the initiative, SDUSD was aided by the Council for American-Islamic Relations, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization. Under the plan, SD Unified may include social studies lessons on Islam, list Islamic holidays on the school calendar, and create “safe spaces” for Muslim students at schools. Critics have said it favors Muslim students over other cultures and religions, and still others say it violates the separation of church and state. The district denies that it’s giving Muslim students special attention. Though this is a noble effort, there are students of other religions that may need protection as well. For example, according to the Anti-Defamation League, anti-Semitic incidents nationwide at non-Jewish elementary, middle and high schools increased 106 percent last year, from 114 in 2015 to 235 in 2016. This increase accelerated in the first three months of 2017, when 95 incidents were reported. “These incidents need to be seen in the context of a general resurgence of white supremacist activity in the United States,” said Oren Segal, director of the ADL Center on Extremism.

FROM SUTTON, A18 County in 2016 over 2015. And in the first three months of 2017 the ADL said there was a four-fold increase over the same time period in 2016. In a news release, Tammy Gillies, ADL’s Regional Director in San Diego, expressed her concern for this upward trend in anti-Semitism, stating, “Not only have we seen a dramatic increase in anti-Semitic incidents directed at the San Diego Jewish community, but perhaps most concerning of all is the dramatic increase of these incidents in schools.”

“Schools are a microcosm of the country,” said ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. “Children absorb messages from their parents and the media, and bring them into their schools and playgrounds. We are very concerned the next generation is internalizing messages of intolerance and bigotry.” The 2016 presidential election and the heightened political atmosphere played a role in the increase, according to the ADL. Yes, there’s appalling bullying of Muslim students based on religion, but Muslims aren’t the only ones targeted. I would bet there are few adults

FROM LETTERS, A18 carefully reviewed all available options over many years. Numerous public hearings have been held, and we have concluded that Highway 101 is the best solution for the Coastal Rail Trail in our community. However, the final decision rests with the California Coastal Commission (CCC) which will vote on May 11 in San Diego. Complicating the story is Coastal Commission staff (San Diego office) who recently released a report recommending against the Highway 101 improvements suggesting that the commissioners place the Coastal Rail Trail on the east side of the tracks, back into the Cardiff Rail Corridor! A proposal that our city and residents had fought against since 2006 when it was first proposed. Any project put into the rail corridor will be destructive to over 30 species of coastal native plants, beautiful sandstone formations, a

who did not experience some kind of bullying or torment from peers in their school days – for being too tall, too short, too stocky, too thin, too disabled, too dark, too pale, too gay, too geeky, too Greek, too Italian, too Asian, too Hispanic, too African-American, too Irish, too Christian, too rich, too poor, too ... different. Perhaps a program that seeks to educate students and eliminate hatred against all forms of bias would be a better and more broad-based approach. The ADL’s “No Place for Hate” incorporates ways to counter bigotry in all forms, including sexual orientation as well as

natural meandering path, over 100 parking spaces, and would strip the neighborhood of their beach access by the addition of a fence (required by NCTD). So, now we have bureaucrats who do not live here and have no personal stake in local projects deciding our issues for us. The CCC staff’s argument is that the Highway 101 Plan through Cardiff is not consistent with the regional Public Works Plan (PWP), a set of rules and bylaws developed years ago with very little public input. They are arguing technicalities that are not clear and certainly not in the best interest of Encinitas. It’s difficult to understand staff’s preference for placing the Rail Trail on the east side of the tracks because we see that substantial portions of the Coastal Rail Trail is or will be located on Highway 101 in our adjoining coastal neighbor cities of Solana Beach, Carlsbad, Del Mar and Oceanside. In any case, we believe that

prejudice based on religion, race and gender. The goal of “No Place for Hate” is “to inspire a national movement led by students and educators who are committed to using the power of positive peer influence to build inclusive and safe schools in which all students can thrive,” according to the San Diego ADL website. “No Place for Hate,” the site states, “is an organizing framework for K-12 schools committed to creating sustainable change that leads to improved school climate.” The program utilizes anti-bias and anti-bullying resources “to form one powerful message that all students have a place to belong.”

the California Coastal Commission has sufficient discretion to find Highway 101 complies with the PWP. The city’s commitment to the Highway 101 alignment is clear and unmistakable. We are convinced after an extensive review that Highway 101 more than any other alternative will improve coastal access, preserve coastal open space and the natural environment, protect coastal native plants and animals, increase safety for the most number of people, and will cost significantly less than other alignments. Let’s get the Cardiff section of the Coastal Rail Trail built on Highway 101 now while local and county agencies are in agreement and the public fully supports it. Highway 101 needs the improvements, and our open space needs preserving. Mark Muir Council member, City of Encinitas

“No Place for Hate” is just one example of an inclusive K-12 educational program that addresses how to battle all kinds of discrimination. There are more. Educating children against Islamophobia is essential, but so is education against other forms of bigotry. All children at schools and colleges have the right to study and learn in environments that are non-threatening and free from bullying. Entire schools should be safe spaces.

Author discusses novel about a boy and his fears BY JOHN WILKENS Encinitas writer Sally Pla’s debut novel, “The Someday Birds,” is a coming-of-age story about a 12-year-old boy named Charlie who is forced out of his comfort zone on a cross-country RV journey to see his brain-injured father. It’s aimed at middle-grade readers, but it has messages for all ages, like the fact that even though Charlie has autism, that Sally Pla word never appears in the book. Q: What first got you thinking about this story? A: I guess it goes back to my three sons. When they were younger, we took a lot of road trips in the old clunker minivan. We wanted to do the Griswold family vacation. We were living in Wisconsin at the time, and one summer we went east to see Williamsburg. Another summer we went west and saw Yellowstone. A lot of the places in the book were ones we visited as a family. It was hard on my middle son, who is autistic. He likes things to be orderly and likes things to stay the same. He likes to know what’s going to happen next. These trips challenged all of that. It pushed him a little, and I guess I wanted to use those trips as a metaphor for the inner growth that we all have to go through. I wanted to show the journey of a boy who was learning to be more at ease in the world. Q: Charlie, the main character, has autism, but you don’t use that word in the book. Why? A: I wanted people to be able to see Charlie, get to know him as he is and not filtered through any label that you may read on a book jacket. He’s just himself. And it’s not really a book about

autism. It’s a book about this boy and his journey. So many of us take journeys and come up against things that scare us or challenge us in life. It’s about coming of age and growing and changing. I just wanted to put a book in the world for people who are neurodiverse where they could see themselves, but also for kids who aren’t, where they could just accept it as completely normal, that here is a character who may be a little different from them. You can slip inside his skin and experience the world that he does and feel that he’s just another person. And not have that label or that diagnosis color what you think about him. Q: I understand you had yourself evaluated for autism recently. A: I did. Writing Charlie’s voice brought up a lot of questions for me. It came so easily, his voice, and I started to question my own childhood and some of the struggles I went through. I relate so well to autistic kids. It just got to the point where I decided to get evaluated, and now I have an autism diagnosis myself. I don’t like to put that front and center because I’m still trying to figure out what that means for me. I feel like I have overcome a lot of that in my life. I can get out there in the world. I travel and speak to people. I don’t feel like it inhibits me too much anymore, but boy, when I was a kid, I had so many of those struggles and issues with social anxiety and auditory processing. It definitely affected me, and writing the book put me right back there in childhood and in touch with a lot of that. Q: What were the difficulties for you in telling the story through the voice of a 12-year-old boy? A: It’s the funniest thing. This is the second novel that I’ve tried to write. The first one was a very elaborate literary novel where I was trying to

The Encinitas Coastal Rotary Club hosts Third Annual Golf Ball Drop Fundraiser May 13 The Encinitas Coastal Rotary Club will host its 3rd annual Golf Ball Drop, cocktail reception and silent auction at the Encinitas Ranch Golf Course Saturday, May 13, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. At the event, individually numbered, color-coded golf balls will be released from a helicopter onto hole No. 1 on the course. The color-coded ball closest to the hole will win $2,000. The second and third closest color-coded balls win $1,000 and $500, respectively. Funds raised will benefit the Navy SEAL Foundation and other local community charities. “This is the third year we’ve hosted the Golf Ball Drop, and we hope it is our most successful yet! Winners do not have to be present to win, but they will miss a fun party if they don’t come,” said Gretchen Mitchell, a sales associate affiliated with the Encinitas office of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage and the chairperson for the Golf Ball Drop event. “We would like to thank our sponsors for making this event possible, especially Coldwell Banker, which has sponsored The Golf Ball Drop from its inception!” The event will start at 5 p.m. with a cocktail reception at the Encinitas Ranch Golf Clubhouse and Terrace. The balls will be dropped at approximately 6:45 p.m. Tickets to attend the reception are $30 and

work in a lot of different voices, including an autistic character. It got so convoluted. I made so many mistakes and I learned so much from it and then I put it away. It’s my trunk novel. In the meantime, I had some serious health crises and I thought, gosh, if I only have one book in me, if I really want to write a novel, what do I have to say to the world? I wanted to write something from my heart. And this voice just came to me really naturally. Q: Charlie’s passion is birds. Are you a birder yourself? A: I’ve turned into one as a result of researching the book. It’s based some on my son. When he was about 4, he had an interest in birds. He just loved drawing them. His grandparents had the big Audubon baby elephant folio on the living room coffee table, and every day he would go with his crayons and color pictures of birds. We have hundreds and hundreds of pictures of birds that he drew. Then he moved on and developed other interests. But I kind of wanted to honor that time in his life when he loved birds so much. Q: Many of the people Charlie and his family encounter on the trip are kind to him. Was that intentional? A: I think it was because if you have social anxiety like Charlie does and you are pushed outside your comfort zone, every kind encounter with somebody who shows compassion to you is friendly, is enormously enabling. It’s constructive in a bigger way than it would be for someone who doesn’t have those disabilities. I wanted to give Charlie that. I wanted to show any kid who is struggling to come out of themselves a little bit that there is kindness there. The world is a kind place. We felt that in our own travels. That’s one of the joys of road trips, to realize that you can make these wonderful

connections with people. There’s something magical in that, and I wanted to give that to my main character. Q: How old were you when you knew you wanted to be a writer? A: I think maybe it was second grade. I had a teacher who gave us these little story assignments and she encouraged me so much and loved mine that by the time I was 9 I was writing a novel about a rat in the dump. It just went from there. As an adult, I was a business journalist for a while and a freelance journalist when my kids were young. I couldn’t give myself permission to write a novel because who does that, really? Now, later in life, I found I had the time and the inclination and I just wanted to give it a shot. About five years ago, I started in earnest. Q: Tell me your publication story. A: I got a residency to a place called Hedgebrook, this lovely place on Whidbey Island off the coast of Seattle, where they give you a cabin by yourself in the woods and they make all your meals for you and all you have to do is write. It was amazing. I finished the novel there. I was there with five other women writers. We met every night in the farmhouse for dinner, around a big table in front of a roaring fire, and read each other our works. When I would read little bits of this, everybody was so encouraging and gave me such great advice about finding an agent and not getting discouraged. I found an agent relatively quickly, with Full Circle Literary in San Diego. We put it out on submission and it sold pretty quickly. I feel really lucky. “The Someday Birds,” by Sally J.

Add to that some redesign work on the electrical system, the windows and the doorways, and the project’s estimated completion date now looks to be late July, Kellar said April 26 during a report to the Encinitas City Council. The delays will have an impact on the beach, its main parking lot and any special events held in the area this summer, she added. The city’s already scrambling to deal with one special event issue. A hugely popular summer concert — the Switchfoot BRO-AM benefit event on Saturday, June 24 — is scheduled to occur just two weeks after the windows are set to be delivered for the lifeguard tower project. The annual concert typically attracts upwards of 17,000 people and raises money for nonprofit organizations that help children, particularly homeless and at-risk teens.

A large chunk of the beach is fenced off around the site of the future lifeguard tower and about 15 spots in the beach’s main parking lot have been eliminated to provide space for a construction equipment staging area. Council members said they would like to recover as many parking spots as possible before the summer beach season begins, and they suggested moving much of the staging area equipment down the hill to the tower construction site or over to the city’s downtown fire station a few blocks away. “The important thing is that we do everything we can to minimize the impact (to beach visitors),” Councilman Tony Kranz said. City lifeguard Capt. Larry Giles said he wouldn’t recommend putting any additional equipment or supplies in the beach area,

People have been breaking into the construction site and stealing wood to use in the beach fire pits, he said. Kellar told the council that she wasn’t sure whether using the city fire station as a construction staging area was a good idea either, saying regularly transporting the equipment across several city blocks might be “a bit more complicated” than using the parking lot at the beach. However, she said, they will try to rework project fencing to free up more parking spaces in the lot and more space on the beach below. There is one bright spot related to the project. “As of now, it does appear that we’re going to be within our project budget,” Kellar told the council, saying that they appear to have enough money in the project’s contingency fund to meet the extra expenses. --Barbara Henry is a freelance writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

FROM FESTIVAL, A1 Unlike Los Angeles, the Bay Area and other canna-friendly jurisdictions, cannabis gatherings in San Diego have been limited to events such as the San Diego Cannabis Farmers Market and LocalSesh —discretely promoted affairs in rented-out venues with a few hundred attendees. (A cannabis trade expo at the San Diego Convention Center in August did not allow marijuana on site.) But with the visibility that comes with as high profile a venue as the Del Mar Fairgrounds, San Diego’s cannabis activists are hailing Goodlife as their movement’s coming-out party. “This will be the biggest show at the most prestigious location in all of San Diego County,” one organizer said. “It’s our time to shine. If you look everywhere else, they have their cannabis festivals. But what’s going on in San Diego? Not much. This is the next step up for San Diego. Definitely a watershed moment. After this it’s going to be so mainstream it’s not even funny.” Cities across North County have clamped down on cannabis as much as state law allows, uniformly barring dispensaries and grow operations. But because the fairgrounds is state-owned, city and county officials are powerless to resist. So for one day, at least, Del Mar will be an oasis of pot-tolerance. Cannabis events have sparked controversy in even the pot-friendliest of places. In Denver, Seattle, San Jose and Los Angeles, local officials and venue owners have shunned the gatherings, forcing organizers to look farther and farther afield. The purge in Los Angeles last year fanned promoters out into the dusty hinterlands in search of somewhere to put down stakes. One of those refuges has been the San Bernardino County fairgrounds. Until last spring, the 87-acre facility had never hosted a cannabis event, and their arrival whipped the surrounding towns — known as the High Desert — into a fever pitch. Tempers there flared in the run-up to the fairgrounds’ second cannabis event, the three-day Chalice California festival in July, which billed itself as “the biggest hash festival in America.” The Victorville City Council called on fairground managers to cancel Chalice and bar any other cannabis event. The fair board responded by adding more events to the calendar. One of the board members resigned her seat in protest. The 22nd District Agricultural Association Board of Directors, which runs the Del Mar Fairgrounds, does not appear to have been aware that the deal had been inked for the Goodlife Festival. Board president Russ Penniman was unavailable for comment on Monday afternoon. Board member Frederick

• Misdemeanor shoplifting 1500 block Leucadia Boulevard, 4:50 p.m. • Felony obstruct/resist executive officer with minor injury - 400 block Encinitas Boulevard, 6:33 a.m. April 26 • Misdemeanor drunk in public: alcohol, drugs, combo or toluene 1200 block Evergreen Drive, 7:48 p.m. • Vehicle break-in/theft - 1900 block Calle Barcelona, 5 p.m. • Fraud - 2000 S block 101, noon • Other sex crime - 0 N block Vulcan Avenue, 10:30 a.m.

Schenk said the board does not hear about events this far in advance. “I’m not educated enough on the issue to have a position,” he said. “Between now and September, I’m sure that the board will become much more aware.” When asked about the festival Monday night, May 1, the Del Mar City Council was caught unaware. Councilman Dwight Worden said he wants to “look into it a little bit.” “What they’re doing is now legal; they have a right to be there,” he said, before acknowledging that the council’s influence over the fairgrounds is “limited at best.” The Del Mar version will be far smaller than cannabis festivals held at other state fairgrounds. Whereas more than 100,000 people took over most of the San Bernardino fairgrounds for the Chalice festival, the Goodlife Festival will be limited to the paddock area. Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager of the 22nd District Agricultural Association Board of Directors, said any concerns he may have had were put to rest after talking with his counterparts elsewhere in the state. “The voters voted, it’s legal and we’re a public entity,” Fennell said. “It’d be hard to deny somebody like Lawrence access to a public facility. Other DAA’s have been doing it for years legally. How would I deny this?” Bame is partnering with an array of local cannabis promoters and entrepreneurs to plan Goodlife’s schedule of exhibits, entertainment and seminars. Doctors will be on site to speak in panels and to give evaluations for medical marijuana cards. A large part of Goodlife’s rationale, Bame said, is to reach a wider — and older — demographic that is proving to be the fastest-growing group of cannabis users. “We want to make sure we’re not just hitting the typical stoners,” said one of his partner organizers, who declined to be identified. “There’s those old folks in Del Mar who are going to see this and will want to come down to check it out, to learn what we’re all about, so we’re going to mainly go after them. Our focus is not going to be the typical festivals like High Times or Chalice. This is going to be a cool little hybrid with music and educational components.” And already, Bame is prepared for the inevitable backlash. “If this gives people anxiety, maybe they should consider medicating with cannabis,” he said. “The reality is that cannabis is legal in the state of California, end of subject. There’s rules and regulations and whatnot, and we intend to follow all of them. If people have political or other objections, they can have those objections. But I think that train already left the station.”
