Park Dale Lane Elementary students practice “The Little Mermaid,” which hits the stage at 6 p.m. on May 19 at the school, free of charge.
Zero-budget school play showcases students’ ingenuity BY JARED WHITLOCK ixth graders at Park Dale Lane Elementary are proving that only cardboard, repurposed clothes and creativity are needed to put on a successful play. Neither school nor district funding has been allocated to their production of “The Little Mermaid.” But what the play lacks in money, the students make up for with ingenuity. During play practice recently, students showed off their costumes, including fish they fashioned from recycled cardboard and then painted. Others boasted wire-hanger and fabric octopus tentacles. The set included a ship, made out of boxes that once housed TVs. School officials said that several parents have lent a hand toward set and costume design, but sixth graders have led the way. A zero-budget production might seem like a drawback or big obstacle. However, sixth grade teacher Steve Klass said kids learn that they can build or accomplish things without

Every sixth grader is involved in the play, whether acting or contributing to backstage production. For the last month, they’ve been dedicating an hour each school day toward the effort. Student James McKenzie said that their production could lead students to put on their own productions or continue in theatre. McKenzie enjoyed creating the fish costumes, which involved stenciling a shape on cardboard, cutting it out, painting and adding straps. “I just liked making everything,” McKenzie said. Student Jack Grenda echoed him, saying it was fun to customize the fish. Grenda added that the costumes will be stored so future six graders can use them, fitting what students SEE PLAY, A18
BY JARED WHITLOCK Raising bees, selling produce from a residential stand and starting a commercial farm just got easier in Encinitas. The Encinitas City Council on May 11 voted 3-2 to approve an agriculture ordinance after months of debate over the role of farming in the city’s increasingly suburban environment. Councilwoman Catherine Blakespear said the ordinance enables residents to buy more locallysourced fruits and vegetables, bolstering access to fresh produce and benefitting the environment. “It’s not just part of our sentimental past that we’re connecting to, I think it’s also very much part of our present,” said Blakespear, who was on a subcommittee that drafted the ordinance. The ordinance slashes the cost and amount of paperwork required to launch a small commercial farm, replacing the current $1,600 minor-use permit with a $250 agriculture permit. And residents don’t need a permit to put up a farm stand on their property and sell homegrown produce, as long as the stand is no more than 120 square feet and isn’t manned more than 12 hours a week. Mirroring new San Diego County beekeeping rules, the ordinance also allows up to two hives in residential zones without a permit, provided they’re at least 25 feet from roads and property lines — and 35 feet of homes. City code previously only let homeowners keep bees in very low-density areas. Mayor Kristin Gaspar and Councilman Mark Muir voted against the motion. They liked the idea of a streamlined agriculture permit, but took issue with SEE FARMING, A18

Planning Commission rejects senior complex BY BARBARA HENRY A huge senior living community planned near the San Elijo Lagoon in Encinitas was rejected recently by the city’s Planning Commission, who said the project was nice — but not for that site. “I want you to be successful, I would like to welcome you to Encinitas,” Commissioner Ruben Dario Flores told representatives for Westmont Assisted Living. But he and other commissioners said Westmont’s proposal for the 3.24-acre property— a mostly vacant parcel with one home along the west side of El Camino Real, north of Manchester Avenue — just doesn’t fit with the immediately adjacent neighborhood of mostly single-family, singlestory homes. “This project, as proposed, I couldn’t support,” Commissioner Tasha Boerner Horvath said. Westmont, which operates senior care facilities in Escondido and Chula Vista, is proposing to build a 110,000-square-foot, two-story structure that also contains a partially underground basement. Nearby residents, who turned out to oppose the plans at last week’s commission hearing, compared the place to a Home Depot or a Target, saying it was about the same size. Company officials strongly disagreed with that contention, saying the proposed facility may be large, but it’s going to be a much quieter, less intensive operation than a shopping center — for one thing, the seniors who live there won’t be driving anywhere. Company President Andrew Plant stressed that the facility would create much-needed options for seniors who need help with day-today tasks, such as housekeeping and medication reminders, but aren’t bed-ridden and don’t need a fullscale, nursing home. Lee Vance, chairman of the Encinitas Senior Citizens Commission, said his commission recently unanimously voted to endorse the
Westmont’s plans and urged the Planning Commission to do likewise. “The Encinitas community is currently underserved and needs more facilities like this,” he said as he discussed the senior commission’s vote. “We think it’s important that the senior community has options.” As proposed, the facility would have 132 beds for seniors, with most of them housed in single-room suites. Twenty-one of the beds would be set aside for Alzheimer’s patients and other senior citizens with severe memory loss, company officials said. The facility would employ about 60 people. This was the second time planning commissioners reviewed plans for the assisted living center, and they didn’t like them any better than they had in November when they decided to hold off on their vote. At that meeting, the commissioners had asked Westmont officials to take a second look at their proposal and consider coming back with a redesign with multiple smaller buildings, instead of one giant structure. Company officials said recently that wouldn’t work for several reasons, including senior safety issues as well as business efficiency measures. With one structure, it’s easier to monitor the senior residents, and the place can have centralized heating system and food preparation. Instead of doing a redesign, Westmont conducted a “Visual Character, Visual Quality and Land Use Analysis” study that declared the project would fit in with the El Camino Real corridor businesses — churches, MiraCosta College and several senior facilities in the south Encinitas region. Both commissioners and neighboring residents said they found this study inadequate because it didn’t focus on the adjacent homes, but looked at the regional corridor.

Planning Commission approves long-delayed subdivision BY JARED WHITLOCK The Encinitas Planning Commission on May 5 unanimously backed a 10-lot subdivision that’s been in the works for nearly 13 years. Developer Pacific Canyon LLC sought approval from the commission to exceed the city’s mid-range density — 10 residential lots instead of nine — at the 5.23-acre site, a stone’s throw north of Redeemer Presbyterian Church on El Camino Real, near the San Elijo Lagoon. As part of the project, Pacific Canyon pledged to improve the eroded Lux Canyon drainage channel, which would lead to more natural vegetation. It will also sow native plants in the area. Commissioner Anthony Brandenburg said these improvements will benefit the now-vacant property. "The developer has gone out of their way for viable solutions," Brandenburg said. While the commission approved the lot subdivision, home development at the site is subject to future commission approval, senior city planner Roy Sapa’u confirmed in an email after the meeting. Two public speakers opposed Pacific Canyon’s plan.
"The reason it has taken 13 years is because it’s a tough lot to build on and maybe we shouldn’t be building so much on it," said Timothy Gendreau, who lives near the site. The city stipulated that Pacific Canyon must pay a $350,000 "in-lieu" fee. Encinitas requires that one of every 10 homes in a new development be sold or rented to those who are eligible for housing assistance, but instead of building the affordable units, developers can pay an in-lieu fee. That money goes into a fund that lets the city purchase housing and dedicate it to low-income families. Cyrus Raoufpur of Pacific Canyon said the project has taken so long because various agencies had to sign off, given that the proposed development is near a wetland. Also, the in-lieu fee was an issue, according to a San Diego Union-Tribune article in 2010. Raoufpur previously asked the council to lower the in-lieu fee, but the council voted against the proposal. The commission vote was 4-0. Commissioner Greg Drakos was absent from the meeting

North Pole marathon duo recall the cold, hard facts Runners from La Jolla and Encinitas braved subfreezing harshness and polar bear danger BY PAM KRAGEN No one ever said running a marathon was easy, but imagine covering those 26.2 miles in knee-deep snow, a minus 40-degree wind chill and the possibility of becoming a polar bear’s lunch. Those were just some of the conditions endured by La Jolla resident Michel Ribet, who turns 79 this month, and 45year-old Vivian Lee of Encinitas, who were among the 47 international athletes who completed the 14th annual North Pole Marathon on April 16. For Lee, the North Pole Marathon was her first international race after taking up the sport of running just two years ago. And for Ribet — the oldest runner to ever cross that frigid finish line — the North Pole challenge was the last race he needed to qualify for the Marathon Grand Slam Club. Since 1991, Ribet has run marathons on all seven continents as well as the frozen Arctic Ocean over the North Pole. The elite club has 82 members worldwide. Over coffee in DelMar recently, Ribet and Lee talked about the challenges of the race as well as why they’re both drawn to compete in an event so extreme that only 426 people have crossed the finish line since 2002. “You ask why? I ask why not? People might say

Vivian Lee and Michel Ribet wearing their medals earned for completing the North Pole Marathon. Ribet is the oldest to finish the North Pole race at 78; Lee ran the race to raise funds for a Tijuana orphanage. it’s impossible and very complicated for a person to do. But when you have a passion, it’s very easy,” said Ribet, who spent 20 years racing sailboats around the world before taking up marathonrunning 25 years ago. Lee said she entered the race because she has always wanted to visit the North Pole and combining the travel opportunity with her newfound love for marathons seemed a perfect fit. She also used the race as a way to raise money for her favorite cause, the Ninos De Fe Children’s
Home, a shelter for abused, abandoned and orphaned children in Tijuana. The North Pole Marathon has drawn competitors from more than 50 countries. This year’s race had men and women from nations including India, Germany, Russia, New Zealand and Japan. Although they’re both U.S. citizens, Ribet was born in France and Lee in China. Since the North Pole is a geographic point under an ever-changing cap of sea ice, the race comes with its own complications. This year’s
competitors were stranded for a week near the Pole because the ice cracked open to expose seawater on the airstrip where their planes were supposed to land. Half of the runners, including Lee, were staying in tents near the race zone for days with minimal food rations, and the other half, including Ribet, were stuck in a village two hours away by plane, sleeping on any sofa or floor they could find. Once the crack was finally sealed (by Russian laborers continuously pouring buckets of water into the fissure to freeze it shut) the runners were flown in quickly and set to running at 6 p.m. (the sun never sets at this time of year). The temperature averaged about 13 degrees below zero, but when the winds kicked up, it dropped to 40 below. Russian snipers were stationed on the hills around of the course to keep polar bears away. The first portion of the figure-eight course had snow about a foot deep, but the final 10 kilometers were layered with knee-deep snow, which Lee said was like running a marathon in deep sand. To avoid falls on the potentially hip-shattering ice, the athletes trotted rather than ran. Finishing safely was more important than setting a record. The fastest time, by American runner Dorn Wenninger, was 5 hours, 17 minutes and 33 seconds. Lee finished fifth among the 16 women in the race, completing the course in 7 hours, 4 minutes. Ribet finished 26th among the 31 men at 8 hours, 50 minutes and 10 seconds. Lee said her time was slowed by her decision to check in at the warming tent after every race lap SEE MARATHON, A12
San Dieguito Heritage Museum receives grant California Humanities has recently announced the 2016 Community Stories grant awardees. The San Dieguito Heritage Museum has been awarded $10,000 for its project titled “Families, Farms and Flowers.” Community Stories is a competitive grant program of California Humanities. Grants are awarded to projects that give expression to the extraordinary variety of histories and experiences of California’s places and people to ensure that the stories can be shared widely. These narratives help us find our commonalities, appreciate our differences, and learn something new about how to live well together. The once-thriving floriculture industry in North San Diego County has all but disappeared as farms and fields have been transformed into suburban housing tracts. Not that long ago, flower grower greenhouses dotted the landscape. Now houses grow where flowers once bloomed. The San Dieguito Heritage Museum believes that the stories behind the many flower and plant growers of both the past and the present are worth preserving. Thanks to the generous support of California Humanities, the Museum will be collecting and videotaping oral histories of past and present growers, laborers, plant scientists and other local residents who made this region the
“Flower Capital of the World” in its heyday. Under the direction of Professor Jeff Charles, along with support from other CSU San Marcos students and professors, the Museum will then produce and present a multi-media exhibit. The exhibit will be complemented by a public lecture series, a symposium, and the development of a flower and plant growing curriculum unit for local elementary schools. The grant will also fund a “Story Recording Corner” at the Museum. Mark your calendars: This summer, as a part of the grant project, the Museum will be holding its first, “Sit, Chat and Remember,” an afternoon of memory gathering, on Sunday, June 26. All of those who have memories of the farms and flowers will have the opportunity to share their stories. “California’s population has such a rich and varied story to tell—and we can all benefit from knowing more about each other,” noted Margaret Shelleda, chair of the board of California Humanities. “We are proud to award grants to those who find creative and effective ways of sharing our stories with new audiences and help connect Californians whose histories and experiences deserve greater and deeper appreciation.” For more information on California Humanities, please visit www.calhum.org.

Community surveys have been mailed out to help plan for and prioritize future parks, beaches and trail projects over the next 10 years
Encinitas residents tapped to guide development of Parks Master Plan To collect meaningful community input needed to drive the development of a Parks, Beaches and Trails Master Plan, the City of Encinitas is employing community surveys to further plan for and prioritize future parks, beaches and trail projects over the next 10 years. The two-prong community survey strategy includes a focused scientific resident survey complemented by a survey of the broader community. The City of Encinitas asks that residents participate in one of the surveys. Recently a 25-question survey was mailed out to the physical addresses of 3,500 residents who were randomly selected to create a sample population that is representative of Encinitas’ overall
population. Through this approach survey data will be statistically valid as the 3,500 randomly selected survey pool is representative of the larger Encinitas community. Residents selected for this survey can submit their responses by mailing in a completed survey or by using a unique password provided in their survey letter to complete the survey online. In the coming weeks, the survey will be opened up to the broader community so that any interested residents or business owners will be able to provide their input through an identical 25-question online survey. Full details on how to participate in the open survey will be released soon. SEE PARKS, A12

TED Talks-style event aims to inspire teens
U-T FILE
The Encinitas Soccer League has been pressing for improvements at Leo Mullen Sports Park since last spring, including permanent lights.
Path toward lights at Leo Mullen is clearer BY BARBARA HENRY Hazy arguments over how and whether Encinitas must tweak its rules to allow lights at Leo Mullen Sports Park got a little clearer recently when the city attorney weighed in on the issue. In a statement released May 4, City Attorney Gary Sabine said that to clear the way for field lights, the City Council would simply need to amend a decades-old park planning document — not put the issue on an upcoming ballot, as some initially feared.
As long as the light poles are less than 30 feet tall, they will meet the standards of the city’s existing growth-control regulations, and a public vote won’t be required, Sabine said. That assessment was a mixed bag for the Encinitas Express, a local soccer league that argued lights should be allowed even without an amendment. The league has been using temporary lights at the field for 13 years, until city officials last year said the fine print on planning SEE LIGHTS, A19
BY JARED WHITLOCK TED Talks for local teens — that’s the idea behind a new event. The Encinitas Youth Commission spearheaded "Do life BIG — teen leader event," featuring well-known locals talking about topics such as leadership, government, sustainability and living life with purpose. This free event will be held from 5-7 p.m. on May 20 at the Encinitas Community Center. "Our main goal was to inspire teens and show them different careers out there," said Youth Commission Chair Delila Forrest over the phone this week. She added the event has been in the works for several years. Mayor Kristin Gaspar will greet the crowd, followed by a video welcome from skateboarding icon Tony Hawk, and then the following local speakers will offer words of wisdom: • Tom Jones, Nixon’s global vice president of marketing and creative • Daron "Farmer D" Joffe, director of agricultural innovation and development of the Leichtag Foundation and Coastal Roots Farm •Jonathan Hanwit, CEO of thinkPARALLAX • CBS News 8 Reporter Angie Lee • CW6 News Reporter Neda Iranpour The event will also feature snacks, drinks and music from local singer-songwriter Kennady Tracy. And attendees will be entered into a contest for prizes. Forrest said commissioners have enjoyed hearing from local leaders during their regular meetings, so the commission created the event to give more teens the same opportunity. "We talked a lot about guest speakers that teens would be interested in," she said. Representing grades 7 through 12, the commission advises the Encinitas City Council on teen services and programs, develops an annual work plan and partners with public and private agencies on youth-related matters.

This national research project aims to help policymakers better understand how to support and grow a for-benefit economy. At national, state and local levels, a rapidly growing “fourth sector” at the intersection of the three traditional sectors—public, private, and nonprofit—has been gaining increased attention among policymakers and economic developers.

SDUHSD mulls how to fill superintendent vacancy BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board is weighing its options on how to move forward replacing its leader after receiving the news of Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s departure for the San Ramon Valley Unified School District. SDUHSD Board President Beth Hergesheimer, Vice President Joyce Dalessandro and trustee Amy Herman would like to see a new superintendent in place by July 1, while trustees John Salazar and Mo Muir would like to see an interim superintendent until after the November election in which two board seats will be up for grabs and the board makeup could potentially change. Salazar made it clear he would not support any candidate for the new superintendent position before the election. The board is expected to decide on whether or not to hire a search firm at a special board meeting on Friday, May 20. At a special meeting on May 10, Superintendent Rick Schmitt went over the board’s options to appoint a short-term or long-term interim superintendent, conduct its own search or hire a search firm. The search firms could focus on solely internal candidates or expand to a nationwide search — both options would involve parent and staff engagement. After announcing his departure on April 26, Schmitt met with Hergesheimer and they prepared a request for proposals (RFPs) to send out to two superintendent search firms: California School Boards Association and Leadership Associates. The firms have until May 18 to respond to the RFP. Muir said she felt that the whole board should have been involved in the RFP process and requested the addition of an East Coast firm to the mix and to send out RFPs to a total of five to six firms to give the board more options. “This is a district that has many facets and a lot of depth, a lot of different things going on and a lot of moving parts,” SEE SDUHSD, A13

As mayor, I have focused on balanced budgets, improving fire and police protection, and enhancing our parks, beaches and open spaces. As a mother, I understand the value of investing in our young people.” Gaspar said the three greatest issues impacting District 3 are public safety, balanced budgets with no new taxes, and maintaining county roads and infrastructure. As for attracting and keeping businesses in the county, Gaspar said, “Small businesses are the backbone of the economy at the national, state and community level, but we have not been doing all we can at any of these levels to help businesses thrive.” She added, “Attracting good paying jobs is the key to a sustainable economy in San Diego. We must work closely with the private sector to ensure a strong and diversified
local economy … promote economic growth by balancing environmental protection with long-range planning to develop programs and incentives that create good paying jobs, strengthen our economy and help small businesses grow.” When asked if she supports the county contributing money toward a new football stadium, Gaspar said San Diego should continue efforts to keep the Chargers, but she cannot yet support the current proposal. “In my view, the new downtown San Diego stadium plan needs careful review of the financial plan and intended design.” She said careful consideration is needed to see how increasing tourism taxes will impact hospitality and tourism. Regarding SANDAG’s proposed ½ cent sales tax increase, Gaspar said she opposes the measure due to its lack of balance and project guarantees for the entire San Diego region. ***** Dave Roberts, 55, is a Dave Roberts Solana Beach resident who has lived in District 3 for 21 years.

SDA captures section’s Division II title
La Jolla Cultural Partners
The San Dieguito Academy Boys Tennis Team played in the the San Diego CIF Division 2 Finals May 7 at The Barnes Center, swiftly conquering San Diego High School 12-6. This win was extra special, as it represents the first SDA Boys Tennis Team
CIF win in over 23 years. Team parent Triva Bridges said, “I’d like to congratulate all the players and coaches! This is also a monumental year for Coach Joe, as he celebrates his 20th year with the SDA Tennis Teams.”
The San Dieguito Academy Drama Production class will present Hamlet by William Shakespeare on May 27, 28, and June 2, 3, and 4. Hamlet is a world-renowned tragedy written by William Shakespeare. This rendition will put a modern twist on the classic tale, showing what life is like for the child of a presidential candidate. Claudius and Hamlet Sr. are two brothers running for president when Hamlet Sr. is tragically and mysteriously murdered. Within a month, Claudius marries Hamlet Sr.’s widow, Gertrude. The combination of their strange and incestuous family life and the faces they put on for the public eye is explored by Gertrude’s tortured teenage son, Hamlet. Laden with intricate language and relationships, dramatic action, and suspenseful inaction, it’s a must-see for any person wanting to be immersed in the interesting world of William Shakespeare. All shows start at 7 p.m. at the
Clayton E. Liggett Theater on the San Dieguito Academy Campus, 800 Santa Fe Drive, Encinitas. Tickets are $8 for students and $15 for adults and are available online at www.seatyourself.biz/sandieguito.

OPINION
www.encinitasadvocate.com
OUR READERS WRITE Is it time to replace Encinitas’ representative on the SANDAG board? The City’s representative to the SANDAG Board, Deputy Mayor Shaffer, makes no secret that the City Council vote on March 30 to abandon the Rail Trail San Elijo Ave. alignment in favor of Highway 101 was a mistake. While fellow council members Blakespear and Kranz were persuaded by the numerous changes in the plan and by extensive organized community opposition to
reconsider their positions, Shaffer was the sole vote against the community’s request to preserve the Cardiff rail corridor. Deputy Mayor Shaffer’s opposition is clear and continuing, but as the representative to SANDAG, she must persuade the SANDAG board and staff that the March 30 change of direction was needed and must work to resolve related funding issues with the board. But how persuasive is one’s argument when you have made it clear you really don’t believe it‘s the right course? As the City Public Works Director Glenn Pruim points out, SANDAG is concerned about the City’s decision making on the project and the risk
of another Council change of mind. How confident can SANDAG feel based on the assurances from the losing vote on a 4 to 1 decision? Undoubtedly the Deputy Mayor will argue for the City’s revised position to the best of her ability, but it is, of course, contrary to her stated belief. Is this the best advocacy for the City and is it reasonable to expect our representative to compromise her judgment? Perhaps it is time to put the City’s interest first and for Deputy Mayor Shaffer to step down as SANDAG representative. Ralph Thielicke, Cardiff

FROM PARKS, A4 Results for the surveys will be tabulated and analyzed separately, but both will be used in the master planning process. Raw data from the surveys will first be made available to the public during a community meeting to be scheduled this summer. This raw data combined with input gathered at those community meetings will be used to create a draft Parks, Beaches and Trails Master Plan. The draft plan is expected to be presented to the City Council, as well as some of its advisory boards such as the Parks and Recreation Commission, this fall. These meetings are open to the public and the public’s participation in

Our goal is to develop a master plan for our parks, beaches, trails and open spaces that aligns with the preferences and desires of Encinitas’ residents.” To ensure that the process of developing a parks master plan is as comprehensive and inclusive as possible, the City has engaged the Services of GreenPlay, LLC. GreenPlay is a
nationally recognized firm that has assisted more than 300 cities and counties throughout the country in the development of such plans. Thus far, GreenPlay has worked with City staff to update its inventory of beaches, parks, trails, open space and facilities, met with numerous community groups and leaders, and has hosted an initial community workshop to obtain community perspective on how this plan should be developed.

Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon and was instantly hooked. In 2015, she completed the “triple crown” of San Diego-area marathons. Now her goal is to accomplish Ribet’s feat of running marathons on all seven continents. She has already signed up for a marathon later this year in Australia and hopes to run the Antarctica Ice Marathon in 2017. Ribet was born in 1937 in France’s Normandy region and was living as a starving refugee with his mother and sister in a small village near the D-Day landing zone known as Utah Beach on June 6, 1944. To the 7-yearold boy, the American liberators were heroes, and when they rescued his father from a German prison camp, he vowed to become an American citizen one day in thanks (a goal he finally achieved in his 60s). In the 1960s and ’70s, Ribet was a professional sailor and took part in the first boat race around the world, the Whitbread. But he gave up the sport in
1979 after his best friend and fellow sailor disappeared at sea. He came to the U.S. about 40 years ago, after moving 25 times around the globe in a restless quest to meet new people. Since 1991, he has run 25 marathons worldwide. The first, at Mount Everest in 1991, was the hardest. It involved walking from Katmandu for 19 days to reach the starting line at a 17,000foot altitude. By comparison, the North Pole run was a piece of cake. He hopes to race again in Antarctica next year in honor of his 80th birthday. His exercise regimen involves running 60 to 90 minutes a day, four days a week, and eating a moderate, healthy, preservative-free diet. He said it’s also important to listen to your body and not push it too hard. “In running extreme marathons, 20 percent of it is physical and 80 percent is mental,” he said. “I’m not superman. It’s all about taking care of yourself.” Pam Kragen writes for the U-T.
plan to stop overdevelopment of our neighborhoods and rural lands, worked with the Rancho Bernardo community to save Webb Lake, improved public safety, protected our coastline, enhanced county libraries, improved animal services, funded more youth sports playing fields and strengthened fire protection,” Roberts said when asked why he wants to be re-elected. “I helped secure the county’s AAA credit rating, implemented affordable solar energy programs creating over 5,000 new jobs, preserved over 1,200 acres of open space, secured millions for Psychiatric Emergency Response Teams, co-launched the Alzheimer’s Initiative and led efforts to keep Palomar Forensic Health Center open,” he added. Roberts said the three greatest issues
impacting District 3 are quality of life protection, job creation and keeping communities safe. As for attracting and keeping businesses in the county, Roberts cited his understanding of the private sector and past experiences, including as chairman of the San Diego Workforce Partnership. When asked if he supports the county contributing money toward a new football stadium, Roberts said, “I strongly support the Chargers and value what they bring to our region. However … I do not support spending any taxpayer dollars on a new stadium without a countywide vote of the people. Whichever location is selected for a new stadium must utilize public transportation and be integrated into our communities so that it does not change our quality of life or add to traffic

F
or over 10 years the Girl Scouts Encinitas Service Unit has provided Spring Baskets filled with art and school supplies, snacks, toiletries and handwritten notes to the Easter Seals Leucadia Head Start preschool program. This year the Service Unit, comprised of 12 Scout Troops from Encinitas, increased the number of baskets provided and thus supported not only the Leucadia location, but also the Encinitas location and the Easter Seals
Home-Based Program, serving 180 children in total. Two Rhoades School Daisy Troops facilitated the creation, donation and delivery of 60 baskets. The Daisy Scouts brought the baskets to the preschool locations and personally distributed the items to the preschoolers. The Rhoades School Daisy Troops earned a community service patch for leading this project for their Service Unit.
FROM SDUHSD, A6 Muir said. “Two firms just isn’t enough.” Salazar said he is against hiring any search firm. He said his concern is that the last time the district hired a search firm in 2013, they spent $26,500 and they ended up hiring Schmitt, who was on staff. He said while he supported hiring a search firm at that time, he wouldn’t make that decision again. “I think these search firms are incestuous in the sense that they go off and tell superintendents ‘Why don’t you leave this position and come over here’,” Salazar said. “It’s a scamy thing where the taxpayers are overcharged for an under-needed service. I do not at all support it.” Hergesheimer said she did not want to circumvent the search firm process as the last time she didn’t know who she wanted until they had interviewed all three candidates and saw who else was out there. The process was important for Schmitt to emerge as the best candidate, Dalessandro agreed. Schmitt said if no internal candidates are interested in the interim superintendent
position, another option would be to bring in a retired superintendent for a term, possibly someone with local knowledge of the district. He said he has heard from a number of retired superintendents in the area who are aware of the district position. He said that no internal candidates at SDUHSD have said they are definitively interested in the position. “Some have expressed interest but they have more questions than interest,” Schmitt said. Dalessandro said the only time she would be in favor of an interim superintendent is if it is a short-term assignment because the leader that they choose is unable to come right on July 1. “I really believe we need stability in this district. I really believe for the sake of staff and students and programs and everything having to do with the San Dieguito Union High School District, we need a superintendent in place who will be accountable for everything that goes on,” Dalessandro said. “I want to see a real superintendent sitting in your seat on July 1.”

Solana Beach’s North Coast Rep announces 35th season ‘Hedda Gabler’ marks artistic director’s 100th production BY KRISTINA HOUCK A staple of Solana Beach and North San Diego County for more than 30 years, North Coast Repertory Theatre is ending its 34th season on a high note and entering its 35th year with a combination of fan favorites and local premieres that’s sure to please its patrons. “It started out as a very small organization and over the years, it’s grown and grown and grown,” said Artistic Director David Ellenstein. “We have built a reputation for doing really high-quality work.” With “Way Downriver,” an adaption of William Faulkner’s 1939 short story, “Old Man,” currently on stage through May 15, North Coast Repertory Theatre is also in rehearsal for its next show, the classic, “Hedda Gabler.” Although the second to last show of the season, the play will mark a particularly significant milestone for Ellenstein. It will be his 100th production at North Coast Repertory Theatre. “I can’t believe I’ve been here as long as I have,” said Ellenstein, who has served as North Coast Repertory Theatre’s artistic director for more than 13 years. He started with the theater in January
Richard Baird and Sarah Fetgatter in “Way Downriver.” 2003. “It marks a very large body of work, which is a neat thing to have behind me, but I’m always looking forward.” Written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, “Hedda Gabler” weaves a tale about a woman trapped in a loveless marriage who is driven by a need for power and freedom. Directed by Ellenstein, the show also marks the debut of a translated script by local Ibsen scholar Anne-Charlotte Harvey. The play, which originally premiered in 1891 in Munich, will open June 1 and run through June 26 at the theater.
AARON RUMLEY
As artistic director, selecting the theater’s plays is just one of Ellenstein’s responsibilities. But he wasn’t thinking about his 100th production when he selected “Hedda Gabler.” Ellenstein has to plan each season well in advance. North Coast Repertory Theatre recently announced the schedule for its 35th season. And as soon as “Hedda Gabler” opens, Ellenstein plans to get started on the following season’s lineup. “When we close our final show, we’re in rehearsal for the first show of the next season,” Ellenstein said. “We have no off-time here.”
The 34th season comes to a close with “Ain’t Misbehavin,’” which captures the golden age of jazz in 1920s and 1930s Harlem. The show runs July 13 through Aug. 7. Committed to promoting theater arts, North Coast Repertory Theatre produces seven main stage productions each season. The nonprofit organization also offers a holiday show, four shows from its theater school, and about two dozen special events and variety nights. “We are extremely busy,” Ellenstein said. When selecting each season’s lineup, Ellenstein tries to include a little bit of everything, from classics to comedies. “I put together as eclectic a season as I can because I like to keep it varied and changed up so we never do anything that’s the same,” Ellenstein said. “I really try to mix it up. It’s like putting a jigsaw together when I pick a season.” North Coast Repertory Theatre’s 35th season starts in September with A.R. Gurney’s “The Cocktail Hour.” The comedy, which originally premiered in the 1980s at San Diego’s Old Globe Theatre, explores the world of upper-class families in the Northeastern United States. The play runs through Oct. 2. “It’s a charming play that I’ve always liked, so I thought that it was a really good way to kick off the season,” he said. The theater’s second show will be Neil Simon’s “Laughter on the 23rd Floor,” a SEE THEATRE, A16

Sun Exposure, Heat, and Varicose Veins— Is there a Link? It seems as though we just had the wintery weather of El Niño, and already things are heating up. But this is typical of life in Southern California. However, whether or not people are happy with this weather change, what is often noticed is an increase in varicose veins when things start to heat up. Why is this? Does sun exposure increase the chances of getting varicose veins? In a word, no. So while it’s good to always wear sunscreen on your whole body when
exposed even an hour to the sun, the sun’s rays will not contribute to you acquiring varicose veins. Remember, much of your likelihood of getting varicose veins comes from genetics. These veins are the enlarged, rope-like veins that appear near the surface of the skin, usually in the legs and ankles. The main contributor of their development is weakened vein walls and faulty valves, exacerbated by increased pressure in the lower extremities. The veins that normally pump blood back up the legs falter, and the blood then collects, pooling up and increasing pressure on the veins, which further weakens and damages them. This condition affects about 40% of women and 25% of men. So why is there a noticeable increase in varicose (and spider) veins in warmer months? Another word: heat. It’s not the sun that is the problem; when you are exposed to warm weather, leg veins dilate and enlarge, which can cause them to fill with more blood. Blood is also brought closer to the
skin to help cool down the body, making veins look larger. People who already experience symptoms will likely find an increase in the appearance of these veins. This means that if you have symptoms of varicose veins, you should avoid heat, such as long hot baths or submersion in hot tubs and steam rooms. And if your legs are aching because of swollen veins, opt for ice packs, staying far away from heat packs. What should be done to relieve varicose veins? Unfortunately, these do not go away on their own, even if the weather cools off. It may be time to consider sclerotherapy, an injection of the chemical sclerosant directly into a varicose vein in order to damage the inside lining of the vein. The subsequent scarring causes the vein to close. This can be done in an office lunch visit, 5-30 minutes, depending on the number of veins to be injected. There is minimal recovery time. Sclerotherapy has over an 80% effectiveness rate among patients. Among its many benefits, sclerotherapy costs much less than surgery or EVLT/RFA (endovenous laser
Look to these local authorities for professional guidance on daily living at delmartimes.net/columns
therapy or radiofrequency ablation) and requires no hospital stay. Is now the best time to get sclerotherapy? Some people prefer to have the procedure done in fall or winter, when the weather is cooler, because compression stockings and leggings are often recommended post-procedure. But if you are planning a summer trip, now may be an ideal time to nip the condition in the bud. Keep in mind that varicose veins are a medical condition. If you are in pain or even discomfort, your quality of life is being affected. Treatment can provide immediate relief for some and quick relief for most everyone else. Prolonging treatment can actually lead to serious conditions such as deep vein thrombosis.

FROM THEATRE, A14 comedy about Simon’s early career as a writer for Sid Caesar’s “Your Show of Shows.” The play will run Oct. 19 through Nov. 13. “It is perhaps Neil Simon’s funniest play,” said Ellenstein, who is acting in the play. “It’s got many, many belly laughs in it.” A finalist for the 2015 Pulitzer Prize, “Marjorie Prime” by Jordan Harrison is next in the theater’s lineup. The play is set in the near future, a time when artificial intelligence has reached new heights, and lifelike robots provide companionship for the lonely. Also a San Diego premiere, the play will run from Jan. 11 to Feb. 5, 2017. “It’s really interesting and it’s really good,” Ellenstein said. “My audience will be intrigued by it.” Ellenstein will then direct Tony Kushner’s “The Illusion,” which was adapted from Pierre Corneille’s 17th century play, “L’Illusion Comique.” The play will run from Feb. 22 to March 19, 2017. “It’s a romantic, magical, swashbuckling and fun journey through a father’s search for his son,” explained Ellenstein, who once starred in the play. “It’s a very theatrical and exciting adventure — really what the theater does great.” On April 12, 2017, North Coast Repertory Theatre will open “Travels with My Aunt.” Four actors tackle more than 20 roles in the play, which is based on a novel by Graham Greene. The play will run through May 7. “It is funny and witty and unusual and unexpected,” said Ellenstein, who decided to direct the play after seeing a revival of the show in New York last year. In May 2017, the theater will present “The Spitfire Grill,” a musical based on a film by Lee David Zlotoff and directed by Jeffrey Moss. With the book and music by James Valcq, and the book and lyrics by Fred Alley, the musical is about the journey of a young woman just released from prison who decides to start her life anew in a rural Wisconsin town. The show will run May 31 through June 25, 2017. “It’s a simpler, charming, funny musical set in a café in rural Wisconsin,” Ellenstein said. “It’s got beautiful music. I’m going to need great singers for it because it’s great music.” The season is set to close with the San Diego premiere of Nagle Jackson’s “At this Evening’s Performance.” The play is a comedy about a bohemian theatre troupe that performs in an Eastern European police state. The show will run July 12 to Aug. 6, 2017. “It’s just very funny and over-the-top,” Ellenstein said. When Ellenstein became artistic director, two of his three goals were to establish North Coast Repertory Theatre as a professional-grade operation, and join the Actors’ Equity Association, which promotes fair pay, working conditions and benefits for actors and stage managers. Ellenstein achieved these goals within his first two years at the theater, but still has a goal to build a new home for the organization, which is currently housed in a 194-seat venue at Lomas Santa Fe Shopping Plaza. “We have outgrown this theater in every way possible,” Ellenstein said. “We are exploding it. It just doesn’t house us anymore. We’re too big for it.” Ellenstein hopes to eventually have two theater spaces — a 350-seat theater and a roughly 175-seat second space for more intimate productions. Until a new home is found, however, North Coast Repertory Theatre will continue to do what it does best. “I enjoy lifting the quality of life in the community,” Ellenstein said. “I get great satisfaction about the joy that I bring to the people that come to the theater. The patrons that come here are passionate and enthusiastic about what we do.” North Coast Repertory Theatre is located at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive in Solana Beach.

The cast and backstage crew of Park Dale Lane Elementary’s “The Little Mermaid” production. FROM FARMING, A1 the decreased bee buffer and farm stand rules. Muir said newbies can now buy beekeeping kits in stores like Costco, but many don’t know best practices, potentially exposing their neighbors to swarms. He added that as a retired firefighter, he witnessed how bee stings send those who are allergic into anaphylactic shock. Deputy Mayor Lisa Shaffer said although she’s allergic to bees and has ended up in the hospital because of a sting, she doesn’t share his concerns. Even if the ordinance doesn’t pass, bees are part of life, she added. “They’re there, whether we regulate and manage their use, or not,” Shaffer said. Councilman Tony Kranz, who was also on the subcommittee, said county rules require beekeepers to register as such and own docile domestic bees. He added bee pollination is

critical for farming, and the ordinance would help counter the trend of bee populations dying off. Gaspar said there’s a risk that some will neglect their hives, upping the chance that bees become unruly and attack. She also said that residential produce stands could be a source of neighborhood conflict and visually unappealing. Beekeeper James McDonald and the two other public speakers voiced support for the ordinance. McDonald said San Diego County and local groups are making a concerted effort to teach proper beekeeping. “Really the bottom line is education on how to keep your bees docile,” McDonald said. McDonald added more backyard beekeeping means additional domestic bees, reducing the number of Africanized bees, known for swarming. A chorus of residents nearly three years ago urged the council to overhaul the city’s

are taught about repurposing and recycling. Sixth grader teacher Michele Lyons said the community has rallied around the play. In particular, she noted parent Kay McKenzie has contributed toward costume design and parent Monika Whisenhunt has helped with set design. Parent Lisa Pawlak said the play is a “culminating event for these kids to use their resources and general savvy developed during their elementary school years.” In an email, Pawlak encouraged the Encinitas Advocate to report on the production. “It might be enlightening to the community as a whole — as arts budgets continue to be cut or are generally non-existent — to bring some attention to what can be accomplished by using a little flair, creativity, resourcefulness and vision,” Pawlak wrote in an email.
decades-old agriculture rules to ease permitting and encourage farming on smaller plots. The ordinance, which has been in the works for more than two years, hit several roadblocks along the way. Notably, the subcommittee wanted to relax livestock setbacks — the distance chicken coops and goat pens must be kept from neighboring homes. However, the Encinitas Planning Commission last fall said that would result in more neighbors having to deal with noise and foul smells. In response to those and other concerns, the commission held several meetings to comb through individual parts of the ordinance. Because of community pushback, the subcommittee ultimately opted to stick with current livestock setbacks. Those require, for instance, at least a 35-foot buffer for raising up to 10 chickens, a distance that means only those with larger backyards can keep chickens without a city permit.
Blakespear and Kranz at the May 11 meeting said they were happy to narrow the scope of the ordinance, because their main goal is to ease permitting for upstart farms. Kranz said the ordinance in some cases could lead landowners to choose farming over development. He noted his neighbor is interested in starting a commercial farm on his 2-acre property, and the neighbor is more likely to move forward now given that there’s less red tape. Another part of the ordinance speeds up permitting for new community gardens, a reaction to the Encinitas Community Garden on Quail Gardens Drive taking five years to debut because of an unclear and costly process. Council’s motion included direction to staff to amend the city’s grading ordinance with farming in mind. The agriculture ordinance will come back to the council in the next few weeks for final approval.

This includes the barriers for-benefit organizations face, their social, environmental, and economic impacts, and the services and structures that support them. Encinitas For-Benefit is a community-led initiative to create a for-benefit city, where the purpose of business is social, environmental, and economic benefit for all. In the summer and fall of 2015, Encinitas For-Benefit held a series of community meetings to raise awareness about for-benefit economic development. These organizing efforts celebrating the city’s tradition of for-benefit business practices resulted in Encinitas’ selection as a research site for the Fourth Sector Mapping Initiative. The assessment will provide baseline data for a multisector action plan to grow the for-benefit economy being developed by the Encinitas

FROM LIGHTS, A5 documents suggested the lights weren’t allowed. “It’s an ongoing struggle,” league President Rich Lochner said May 5 in light of Sabine’s analysis. “What he’s saying is that we can’t light the fields right now. There’s a path to lights, but it still requires the City Council to act.” Sabine said he made his determination after researching park planning documents dating back to the days when the site was known as Green Valley Park. The name changed to Leo Mullen in 1996 to honor Mullen’s role “in bringing Little League Baseball to Encinitas and dedication to youth sports,” Sabine noted. The park is on Via Cantebria across the street from the Target store. The City Council had discussed the possibility of field lights in a closed-door session two weeks ago after facing a threat of litigation from the Encinitas Soccer League, which needs lighted fields to accommodate the roughly 24 teams that practice at Leo Mullen. The soccer organization — the city’s biggest youth sports league with some 1,700 members — has been riding a roller coaster regarding its playing fields for more than a year. Last spring, league members began intensely campaigning for the city to make improvements to the Leo Mullen fields after learning that a proposed Ecke Family YMCA construction project would eliminate playing fields at the Ecke Sports Park. Ultimately, the league and the YMCA worked out a deal allowing the league to continue using some of the Ecke fields.

For-Benefit Council. The Fourth Sector Mapping Initiative is a joint project of the Urban Institute’s Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy and Fourth Sector Networks. The project will develop a public research database of for-benefit organizations and fourth sector support organizations in the U.S. to provide insights into the growth, activities, models, and trends in the fourth sector. Encinitas For-Benefit, a program of Engage Encinitas, formed out of a series of community meetings that began in July 2015. These gatherings were spurred by interest from the White House in piloting place-based for-benefit economic development initiatives around the country. The objective of Encinitas For-Benefit is to develop a supportive ecosystem in which for-benefit enterprises can flourish, thereby accelerating the transition to a sustainable, inclusive, and resilient economy.

As the league and YMCA reached for a compromise, the City Council began looking into what could be done to upgrade the Leo Mullen fields, which council members have recently described as being more dirt than grass. Soccer league members were both pleased and dismayed when the council voted to hire a contractor to put artificial turf on the fields. League members had long sought the turf, but the construction plans came at a cost. While researching the turf project, city planners discovered that the original park planning documents might not allow the Leo Mullen fields to be illuminated at night. That was a problem, because league officials were already using rented temporary lights to allow night-time play, and had hoped that permanent lights would eventually be installed. That wasn’t the only conflict. About $172,000 of the roughly $1 million turf project was to be covered by a water rebate from the Metropolitan Water District, and the June 8 deadline for receiving the rebate was fast approaching. The council had proposed adding concrete footings to the turf project that could accommodate future light poles, but pulled that option for fear it would delay Coastal Commission approval of the project and jeopardize the rebate money. Lochner said May 5 the league is likely to ask the City Council to amend the planning document to allow the lights. “We need the lights,” Lochner said. “We can’t (accommodate) all our teams without them.” — Barbara Henry is a writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune.
