Ordinance on accessory dwelling units explored BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY The Encinitas City Council on May 17 further explored the possibilities of accessory dwelling units to help the city meet its housing requirement. The council voted unanimously to bring a new ordinance presented by staff at the meeting regarding the accessory dwelling units — which are additional structures built on

pre-existing residential lots to accommodate more housing — to the planning commission, with suggested changes. The council has expressed support for such units as a way to provide additional, affordable housing options in Encinitas. “Accessory dwelling units seem like an important part of that [housing] puzzle that we are working
on, and this seems like a really great step toward that,” Mayor Catherine Blakespear said. Under new regulations proposed by staff, one accessory dwelling unit should be allowed per single-family dwelling; owners should live on the land; the units can only be rented, not sold; accessory dwelling units cannot exceed 1,200 square feet if detached or attached (if attached,
1,200 square feet or 50 percent of the living area of the primary residence, whichever is less); one parking space should be available for most newly constructed units (unless they are within a half-mile of transit, created within the area of an existing structure or in a historic district); the units cannot be rented for less than 30 days; and the maximum height is SEE DWELLINGS, A22

City continues its discussion on pot cultivation in Encinitas BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY The city’s Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) Subcommittee met with residents and business owners again on May 15 to continue exploring the possibilities of cultivation and delivery in Encinitas. The subcommittee — comprised of Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz and Council member Joe Mosca — invited consultant Neil Hall, with SCI Consulting Group, to offer legal perspective on the issue and insight from other cities.
Hall said he has been working with 10 different California cities to regulate marijuana since the passing of Prop. 64, which legalized the recreational use of marijuana in California. He also consulted the city in the past regarding cannabis, according to Kranz. The city is looking at Santa Cruz, Sacramento and Berkeley as possible models for an ordinance, said City Attorney Glenn Sabine. Hall said Encinitas should develop a flexible ordinance that includes definition,
operational standards and its priorities, among other items, in the ordinance. “The list is just very, very involved,” he said. Sacramento, for example, has struggled, Hall said. That city's ordinance did not pass in the last election "partially because of the way it was written." Encinitas should also consider water supply, water waste from cultivation and adding regulatory and land-use ordinances without conditional use permits. SEE POT, A22

BY KAREN BILLING Throughout last week, a memorial grew in the parking lot in front of Torrey Pines High School, where in the early hours of Saturday, May 6, a 15-year-old Torrey Pines student was fatally shot by police officers after brandishing a BB gun. The student had a suicide note in his pocket. Coming together for the first time since the tragedy, San Dieguito Union School District (SDUHSD) board members offered their condolences at the May 11 board meeting. “It’s been a really hard week,” said Torrey Pines student board representative Isaac Gelman. “We’re thankful for all of the support and all the love that we feel coming from the whole community around us.” Meredith Wadley, the district’s director of school and student services, began work early on Saturday, May 6, to bolster mental health support on campus at Torrey Pines that Monday, May 8, bringing in additional counselors, psychologists and social workers to help students cope. “People wouldn’t have had the help they needed without Meredith,” SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said. Wadley provided a report on student wellness at the May 11 meeting, speaking about how the district works to promote social and emotional well-being on campus and create a sense of connectedness and safety for students. “It takes a village to provide support and services to our students,” Wadley said. “Working together, our counselors, school social workers and school nurses provide SEE STUDENTS, A22

Coastal Commission reverses city on long-debated Cardiff rail trail
COURTESY
AVID college readiness students at San Dieguito HS Academy celebrate college signing day on May 5.
BY PHIL DIEHL Go east, the California Coastal Commission said Thursday night, May 11, changing the proposed route for the long-debated Coastal Rail Trail in Encinitas. The commission voted to support a 1.3-mile route east of the railroad tracks along San Elijo Avenue from Chesterfield Drive north to Santa Fe Drive. “I’m shocked,” said Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear, who had spoken
eloquently to the commission in favor of placing the bicycle and pedestrian paths along Coast Highway 101 west of the railroad tracks. “I’m very disappointed,” Blakespear said. “We’ve been working on this for the last year. I don’t know what else we could have done.” Coastal Commission staffers said the eastern route provided a much-needed new transportation corridor in the
Cardiff neighborhood, and that it was more consistent with the regional plan for the entire trail. Commissioner Greg Cox, a San Diego County supervisor, made a motion to support the western plan, saying it was “a more logical solution,” but his motion failed, and then the commission voted to support the route along San Elijo Avenue.

Encinitas Educational Foundation and Sullivan Solar High school district to to hold educational solar seminar May 24 review costs of College Fair Power Encinitas Educational Foundation and Sullivan Solar Solar Power’s certified energy practitioners.
BY KAREN BILLING As the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) begins planning for next year’s College Fair Night, it will look at ways to scale back and reduce where possible due to concerns about the cost of hosting the event at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. At the May 11 SDUHSD board meeting, board member Mo Muir balked at the cost of $12,959 to provide catering services at the April 24 event. Paired with the facilities rental at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the College Night cost about $25,000, expended from the general fund and the Torrey Pines High School Foundation. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill admitted that he has “sticker shock” as well in seeing the cost of the food services, which they were invoiced for after the event. The fairgrounds requires that the renters use their catering services. SEE FAIR, A16

First digital sign in Encinitas sparks debate BY BARBARA HENRY Some backlash over a newly installed electronic sign — the first permitted in Encinitas — is leading city officials to re-examine the city's sign regulations. Approved by the city's Planning Commission in July and recently installed in front of the Saints Constantine and Helen Church along one of the city's major roadways, the 5-foot-by-8-foot monument with an inset electronic display screen invites people to church programs and offers Bible verses in white letters on a sky blue background. Wednesday night's (May 10) message read, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." The sign was having the opposite effect, however, on Encinitas resident Cindy Beck, who assisted with the city's incorporation effort some three decades ago and has served on several city commissions. "This sort of thing leads to urban decay," she told the City Council on Wednesday, May 10, urging them to make sure no more digital monument signs are permitted in town. Beck, who spoke during the time that the council sets aside at each meeting for items not on the agenda, said she was "incredulous" when she learned the church had a city permit for its new electronic sign
BARBARA HENRY
The first digital monument sign in Encinitas offers a message for passing drivers on Manchester Avenue on the morning of May 11. on Manchester Avenue, directly across the street from San Elijo Lagoon. Noting that there are "five other religious institutions, three schools, a tennis club and two retirement homes in this same area," she said she feared that every one of them would soon try to install electronic signs with "garish, glowing advertisements, changing all day and night." "What a horror to think that this beautiful open space and dark sky part of Encinitas at the south entrance/exit to our city could become the electronically digitized SEE SIGN, A8
SDUHSD passes resolution opposing youth access to pot BY KAREN BILLING At the May 11 board meeting, the San Dieguito Union School District (SDUHSD) board approved a resolution opposing youth access to marijuana through commercial storefronts and commercial cultivation. Since the passage of Proposition 64, public agencies have been working on establishing regulations for the sale and cultivation of recreational marijuana in their jurisdictions. State and local governments must have
regulations and local ordinances in place by Jan. 1, 2018. “This is a concern of ours and one of the things we’re watching is how the attitudes have changed on the use of marijuana over time and to see if there’s change with the passage of Prop 64,” SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said, noting they will learn more from the results of their annual student Healthy Kids Survey. “One SEE POT, A8
SDUHSD aims to collaborate with SOUL charter BY KAREN BILLING SOUL School of Universal Learning is readying to become the first charter school approved within the San Dieguito Union High School District boundaries this fall. At the May 11 board meeting, SOUL founding team member Wendy Kaveney shared that the school is working diligently to bring a “greatly-needed new model of education” to the district. They have hired an “incredible” teaching team and enrollment has grown organically to 50 students, without spending a dollar in advertising, she said. “Many families have cried with us while they’ve shared their stories, that we’ve been exactly they have been searching for and exactly what their child needs,” Kaveney said. “The families are excited to have a new option.” The San Diego County Board of Education approved SOUL as the county’s first charter school application in January — SOUL aims to use a holistic approach to education with experience-based and project-based learning, electives such as entrepreneurship and essential life skills, as well as a focus on meditation, self-development and reflection.
M A PREVIEW Y2 7 TH
The SDUHSD board rejected the application in October 2016 — the board had been ready to approve the school with conditions but SOUL declined the conditional approval option, leaving the board only the option to deny. Where the school will be located in Encinitas is unknown. SOUL will open this fall in two grades, seventh and ninth, before expanding to include grades 7-12 over the next four years. According to SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill, the school first approached the district about using 12 SDUHSD classrooms in April but the school is now looking for about seven classrooms. SDUHSD board member John Salazar asked for the update on SOUL to be on the agenda after reading a column on the school’s progress by this newspaper’s education columnist Marsha Sutton. Salazar said that he would like the district to have more dialogue about sharing with SOUL — Salazar said he believes that the district should rent space to SOUL if needed and that charter school students should be allowed to participate in district athletic programs, at the very least the no-cut sports.

City puts in efforts to make Encinitas more bike-friendly
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Bikers, city officials and public safety authorities agree that Encinitas is a great place for a bike ride, but improvements can still be made. With hills and limited dedicated bicycle lanes, Andy Hanshaw, executive director of the San Diego Bike Coalition, said Encinitas is more appealing to experienced riders rather than casual ones. “Making biking a viable transportation option is something that all of our cities should be focusing on and finding ways to make it safer, more comfortable and more accessible,” he said on a bike ride on Coast Highway 101 in downtown Encinitas in May, at the beginning of National Bike Month. “We designed our cities for people to get around by cars, and now we’re trying to figure out more options for safety and getting people around by bikes, transit and walking.” Encinitas city staff members said a number of improvements have been made in recent years for cyclists. These have included “sharrows” for bikes to share lanes with cars, installing dedicated bike lanes on Coast Highway 101 and widening streets. The city has also painted buffers with cross-hatching next to bike lanes to make them more recognizable and create more protection for bikers, said Traffic Engineer Rob Blough. In the future, the city might paint bike lanes a different color to make them more distinguishable, he added. Mayor Catherine Blakespeare said she is committed to helping Encinitas become more bicycle friendly. “That means the city needs to build the bike paths, paint the buffers that separate cars from bikes, think about routes between places when doing construction projects and have mobility top of mind in decision making,” she said. “I’ve heard from cyclists who ride from La Jolla to Oceanside, and they say Encinitas is the scariest part, particularly downtown Leucadia where the cars travel fast and the bike lanes are narrow. This is not great.” In 2011, a bicylist, James Steven Swarzman, died after he was struck in a hit-and-run near North Coast Highway 101 and Jason Street. About three months later, Joseph Ricardo Fernandez, of Carlsbad, was convicted of the crime.

BRITTANY WOOLSEY
Andy Hanshaw, executive director of the San Diego Bike Coalition, rides his bike near Moonlight Beach in Encinitas on a recent Monday. The challenge with designing improvements is keeping everybody — from bikers to car drivers — happy, said Kamran Saber, interim city engineer. “We’re dealing with so many challenges, like a confined right-of-way,” he said. “Widening Coast Highway is a daunting task, and it’s not really supported by everybody. The business owners want parking, the drivers want the lanes and the bikers want their own lanes. We try to accommodate all these things and find the best fit that is responsive to all these different styles.” Starting last month, the city began sitting down with interest groups — like Encinitas 101 MainStreet Association, Leucadia 101 and Bike Walk Encinitas — in non-binding, informal meetings, Saber said. The city has been working on developing its segment of the Coastal Rail Trail, which was reviewed and denied by the Coastal Commission on May 11.

The Encinitas Cruise Nights event is held on the third Thursdays of May through September.
Classic cars line up on Coast Highway 101 The Encinitas 101 MainStreet Association recently announced the lineup for its 18th annual presentation of Encinitas Cruise Nights, including new nightly themes and live bands. The series, sponsored by O’Reilly Auto Parts, is held on the third Thursdays of May through September, from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. New this year will be three half street closures located on F Street, G Street and H Street. This will make room for more car clubs and live music along South Coast Hwy 101. The newly formed Encinitas Cruise Night Committee members are ecstatic to still have this beloved community event continue. Encinitas 101 Executive Director Thora Guthrie said, “We’re excited about this year’s
new, expanded format. By closing off half blocks, we can accommodate more cars and more clubs. Luckily, we are able to cover the additional costs of the street closures with generous support from sponsors like Ace Hardware, Rancho Auto Body, and First Street Bar.” Guthrie added, “The community loves this event, so we’ve done everything we can to keep it running, in spite of losing some of our club locations to development.” As always, Encinitas 101 welcomes all classic and vintage vehicles to this free monthly event, where drivers take spaces along Coast Highway 101 and in adjacent parking lots, or simply cruise up and down the main street.

Encinitas runner finishes 'world's toughest foot race' BY PAM KRAGEN Three years ago, Encinitas software consultant Vivian Lee took up running as a hobby. By mid-October, she could join just 92 people in the world who’ve run marathons on all seven continents and at the North Pole. Last month, Lee, 46, completed the Marathon des Sables, which is billed as “the world’s toughest foot race.” In temperatures up to 120 degrees, she ran the equivalent of six marathons in six days across sand dunes, trails and mountains in Morocco’s Sahara Desert, carrying all of her food, water, clothing and sleeping gear on her back. It was the fifth of eight marathons she must complete to join the Marathon Grand Slam Club. Since she ran the grueling North Pole Marathon in April 2016, she has finished races in Australia, Europe, Asia and Africa. She plans to finish the remaining three — in South America, North America and Antarctica — by mid-November. “I’m Type A for sure,” Lee said, of her single-minded drive. “When I see a goal that’s tempting and challenging, I nail it down and go for it.” Lee grew up in Beijing and moved to the U.S. to attend college. She now works in software design at a company in Carlsbad. She and her husband, Jay Yu, have two sons, ages 10 and 13. She loves to travel and exercise (Pilates, barre, swimming and tennis) and enjoys pushing herself to the extreme. In 2014, she joined a friend to run the San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon and became hooked on long-distance running. The following year, she completed the “triple

Now she’s taking on the world. Lee said she got the idea to shoot for the Marathon Grand Slam when she did the North Pole Marathon over the frozen Arctic Ocean last year. During that race, competitors slogged through knee-deep snow, a -40-degree wind chill and the threat of polar bears. Only about 500 people have finished the North Pole race since 1992. The elite group has bonded over Facebook, where they encourage each other and team up to run other ultra-marathons. One of her fellow North Pole runners last year was Michel

Ribet of La Jolla, 80, who has run marathons on all seven continents. “In running extreme marathons, 20 percent of it is physical and 80 percent is mental,” Ribet said. “I’m not superman. It’s all about taking care of yourself.” With the encouragement of Ribet and her fellow runners, and the support of her husband, she decided to go for the grand slam. “I drank the Kool-Aid. I saw that other people were doing it and even though it seemed hard, I decided to tackle it,” she said. Last July, she checked off the Australian
continent by running the Cairns Marathon in Queensland. On her birthday last November, she ran in the footsteps of the original marathoners at the Athens Classic Marathon in Greece. Then over the Christmas holidays, she ran the ChiangMai Marathon in Thailand. In April, she ran the Marathon des Sables, which was the hardest physical challenge yet. To prepare for the race, Lee ramped up her distance running, especially in beach sand, took hot yoga classes, videotaped herself packing her backpack, did overnight tests with her sleeping bag and even gained a few pounds to bulk up her slim frame. But nothing prepared her for the rigors of the Sahara. The 156-mile Marathon des Sables, which opens each day’s run with a recording of AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell,” is considered the toughest staged run in the world. There’s an insurance policy for corpse repatriation, all runners must carry snake and scorpion anti-venin and three runners have died since the race was launched in 1986. Participants have to pass stringent health checks and wear equipment like a GPS tracker, cooling sleeves, compression socks, large hats and “shoe gators,” Velcro-lined wraps that keep sand out of their running shoes. Lee said running in the ultra-fine Sahara sand felt like jogging in water, but the biggest challenge of the race was dehydration. Runners take salt tablets to retain water and avoid kidney failure. For the first two days, Lee said she struggled with heat and fatigue. But by day three, salt-related water retention SEE RUNNER, A20

FROM SIGN, A3 monument center of coastal North County," she said, later adding, "Is this the future face of our precious beach town? Please, no." Mayor Catherine Blakespear told her that it was the first time she'd heard about the sign and vowed to look into the issue. Councilman Tony Kranz said he agreed with Beck's concerns about the possibility of more electronic signs proliferating in town and said he wanted modifications to the city's sign ordinance to prevent that because "I'm certain the community doesn't want electronic signs in abundance." Councilwoman Tasha Boerner Horvath, who served on the city's Planning Commission when it approved the sign proposal last year, said commissioners put many conditions on their approval, including limiting how luminescent the sign could be and how often the message could change. In a recording of that July 21 meeting, commissioners can be heard debating what standards to set for the sign just before they unanimously approve the proposal. They decided to allow the message to change no more than once an hour. They also directed city planning department employees to start revising the city's sign ordinance, so they can include standards for digital signs, and they decided that any other digital sign proposals will be handled on a case-by-case basis by the commission until that revision process is complete. That revision hasn't yet occurred, city employees said May 10. In a telephone interview Thursday morning, May 11, Father Michael Sitaras of Sts. Constantine and Helen Church told a reporter that most of the comments he's heard about the sign in the weeks since it went up have been positive. An employee at MiraCosta College next door to the Greek Orthodox church even sent him a thank you note for the "encouraging" messages on the sign. They change the messages a few times a day, he said. During the morning and evening commuter period, they post information about the church's on-site preschool program, while at other times there are Bible passages or listings for church services. In late summer, they plan to advertise the church's huge annual Greek festival. The electronic sign colors are very subdued, and they match the colors of the church, he stressed, saying that the monument is in front of their church and how it looks is extremely import to them. "We want be good neighbors and we want to be sensitive to the people that pass by, but we do want to tell people about our events," he added.

FROM POT, A3 thing we definitely have seen with the normalization of the use by adults is the spillover effects as it becomes more easily available for youth.” SDUHSD Vice President Joyce Dalessandro said it’s important to share the district’s stance but the cities and jurisdictions have the ultimate control. In January 2017, the city of San Diego legalized recreational pot dispensaries and opened up the possibility to allow farms, manufacturing facilities and testing labs. There are 15 dispensaries throughout the city; the closest location in North County is on Roselle Street in Sorrento Valley. The city of Del Mar has an existing prohibition in place for both medical and non-medical marijuana related businesses and the city of Solana Beach also has a ban in place for medical marijuana cultivation delivery and dispensaries. The San Diego County Board of Supervisors banned medical and non-medical marijuana facilities within the unincorporated areas of the county in March, and in 2014 Encinitas residents rejected Measure F, an initiative which would have allowed medical marijuana dispensaries in the city. The Encinitas City Council is currently considering allowing pot cultivation. SDUHSD board member Mo Muir requested that the board consider a resolution and brought forward the language drafted by the San Dieguito Alliance for Drug Free Youth. “Once kids get off track, it’s very tough to get them back on,” Muir said. “We want our kids to be successful in college and successful in classes and drugs take that away.” The resolution states that marijuana use is harmful to the adolescent brain, that “frequent users of today’s highly potent marijuana lose an average of eight IQ points” and that students who use marijuana are 60 percent less likely to complete high school and graduate college.
The resolution also states that following the legalization of marijuana in Colorado, teen use is 50 percent above the national average and marijuana-related traffic deaths have increased. “Commercializing marijuana would increase its availability and normalize its use, leading to increased negative health consequences, particularly among young people,” the resolution reads. SDUHSD board member John Salazar said he would vote for the resolution but as he has stated in the past, he doesn’t believe resolutions really do anything. He said he thought all of the information in the resolution was fine although he believes pro-marijuana advocates will find a way to argue against many of the statements. “We’re taking a very logical opinion for a school board but I do believe there’s going to be laws in place that require these facilities to be a certain distance from schools. None of that’s going to matter. I think there’s going to be a lot more marijuana use down the line from particularly our high school students and it seems like the citizens of California approve it.” “We better be prepared…just about every single board meeting we expel students for bringing marijuana to school and selling it,” Salazar continued. “If they’re caught with marijuana they’re not expelled but if they’re selling it they are and I don’t think that’s a real good practice. I think we better figure out a way to rehab these kids and not just expel them.” The district does have READI (Recovery Education Alcohol Drug Instruction), a two-day program that provides support for students with substance abuse issues. If a student is caught in possession of drugs or alcohol, under the influence of drugs or alcohol or in possession of drug paraphernalia, they are given the choice of a five-day suspension or enrolling in the READI program.

ost of us never take the time to really understand our investment portfolio. When it comes to mutual funds and other investment products, we tend to familiarize with the fund provider and take their advertising as viable credibility. Most investors rely on their stockbroker or financial planner to provide advice without conflict. Think about that for a second; if your advisor is paid to transact in order to generate a commission, or if they’re paid more to recommend one product over another, what is the likelihood that they’re providing no-conflict advice? Mutual fund companies offer multiple varieties of funds, focused on different asset classes, regions and industries and when you take the time to dig down, you’ll find that there is a real lack of transparency with regard to two things: current holdings and actual fees. In addition, many mutual funds have the same stocks in their portfolio, leading to what is called overlap so if you own three or four funds from the same family, there’s
The Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) Foundation and the CCA Speech and Debate Team are hosting a presentation titled “How to and Why do the College Interview” to help students throughout the area to prepare for and succeed at their college interviews. Working with the Regional Admission Counselors of California (RACC), the Foundation and team have invited admission counselors from several universities outside of California to come and give their advice on college interviewing skills. The panel of speakers will provide a presentation and conduct a few live mock interviews to help illustrate how to get the best outcome on college interviews. The event will be on Tuesday, May 23, from 6-8 p.m. at the CCA Learning Commons (aka Library/Media Center).
The “How to and Why do the College Interview” event is open to the public. Tickets are available online at canyoncrestfoundation.org. Tickets will also be sold at the door.

FROM BIKE-FRIENDLY, A4 support bikers and pedestrians — on Encinitas’ west side, closer to the coast, but the Coastal Commission voted to place it on the east instead. The city has also been working on its Streetscape Project, for Coast Highway 101 from A Street to La Costa, for about a decade, Blough said. He said the project will make the area modernized with traffic-calming techniques, pop-outs on the curbs, roundabouts and reversed back-in parking. Some lanes will be dropped in some areas so there is one lane each way, Saber added. “This plan creates an excellent balance for the drivers, pedestrians and the bikers,” Saber said. “It used to be everything for drivers,
FROM SOUL, A3 Salazar said he also believes the district should allow home-schooled students in SDUHSD district athletic programs, as well as students at Sunset to participate in other schools’ sports programs. “I think what SOUL can offer our students is something that as a big district we can’t offer. We just had a horrible, tragic event on Saturday and that made big news because the police were involved. We’ve had other students hurt themselves as well, they’re just not publicized. I think SOUL can offer something to the real vulnerable students out there,” Salazar said. “We have a lot of bravado on this board and a lot of the board members love to say how they care about kids. Here’s another opportunity to show it and prove it.” Salazar said as the district faces a $8.5 million deficit, the charter school could be a revenue source if the district agreed to rent them classroom space.
but to some extent, the pedestrians and the bikers were neglected. But now, with this new trend nationwide, this project is the product that will satisfy all facility users.” In regard to safety, Blough suggested bikers should be aware of cars turning. “When you’re going straight, you need to look to your left, because a car’s going to be coming, and they kind of pass you, then they don’t see you out of their blind spot, they turn and you go over their hood,” he said. “Those are one of the most common accidents there are. We don’t have a lot where people are getting hit from behind.” Capt. John Maryon, of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department’s North Coastal Station, said the main violations are made by the bicyclists riding on the
Dill said he has met with SOUL co-founders Melissa Bruyneel and Michael Grimes and has gone over all of the available space options in the district, such as Diegueno Middle School and La Costa Canyon. Dill said the spaces had logistical issues and weren’t really a great fit for either school, such as there not being 12 contiguous classrooms and portables were available but only at the back of campus. “If there was an opportunity to be their landlord, we would like to explore that for the very reasons Mr. Salazar mentioned,” Dill said. Dill said he plans to continue discussions with SOUL as they gain a better understanding of their enrollment and space needs. SOUL would need to submit a formal facilities request by Nov. 1 for action before the 2018-19 school year. “We have completely left the door open for future conversations,” Dill said. Dill said athletics did not come up in the last meeting with SOUL, only in a phone call
wrong side of the road while motorists are making unsafe turns into the bicyclists. He said he does not see a pattern for dangerous areas in the city, but most bike-related accidents happen during the lunch hour (11 a.m. to noon), as well as the main time when people are driving home from work (4 p.m. to 6 p.m.). In 2016, there were 16 injury accidents, four property damages from bicycles and 23 people injured, according to statistics from the Sheriff’s Department. So far in 2017, there have been three injury accidents, one case of property damage and seven people injured. “The motorists and the bicyclists need to be patient with each other and work together to make the roadways safer,” Maryon said.
after the column was published. As per the current district practice, if a student transfers to Sunset they are not eligible to participate on the teams at the other four high schools. SDUHSD also does not allow students from one high school to play for another. Dill gave the example of a student who wants to go to San Dieguito but also wants to play football (San Dieguito does not have a football team). “They can’t have it both ways, they have to choose SDA or La Costa Canyon or Torrey Pines if they want to play football,” Dill said. “That’s just one of the many factors that students and families take under consideration during our high school selection process of what’s available at each campus and what’s the best fit for that student and that family.” Dill said there are also concerns about students from another school displacing a student on a team that does attend the school. In his first year of dealing with
athletics, Dill said he has had several discussions with parents upset about students not making teams. “Our athletic programs are for the students enrolled at that school,” said Dill, noting that in the past they have been approached about private school and home school students playing for SDUHSD schools and also have not allowed it. Salazar said he thinks SDA students should be able to go play football — the parents are taxpayers and the district should offer the same opportunity to all students. “Philosophically I agree but the devil’s in the details and the implications of doing something like that…it’s not done anywhere that I know of,” SDUHSD Board President Amy Herman said. “I appreciate the thought, it’s a step and the discussion has begun. I want to continue the good relationship and communication with SOUL charter and welcome them to our area. I think Mr. Dill has proven that he’s open to cooperation and communication.”

FROM RAIL TRAIL, A2 Dozens of people attended the commission’s meeting in San Diego to speak about the issue. However, the rail trail came up late in the day and by then some people had left, and others were allowed limited time to speak. “It’s a travesty,” said Sandy Coventry, a Cardiff resident. “We were not represented.” Only a few residents supported building the trail along San Elijo Avenue. “We need new infrastructure, and we need it on the east side where it belongs,” said former Encinitas Councilwoman Lisa Shaffer. For several years the city and the San Diego
Association of Governments had pushed for the eastern route on what is now a rough dirt pathway in the Cardiff neighborhood. But once SANDAG released its four-year, $410,000 design for the eastern route in 2015, city officials decided it was not what they wanted. Critics called the proposed 10-foot-wide concrete bike path a “highway” for bicycles, saying it was ugly, unsafe, and not what they wanted along that section of the tracks. Instead, the Encinitas City Council switched its support to an alternate route — the western alignment along Coast Highway 101. That route now has the unanimous support of the City
Council, Blakespear told the commission Thursday in her prepared remarks before the vote. “A bike highway like this should be placed in an area that is already paved, not in a natural, wild environment with a functioning informal dirt trail system,” Blakespear said. “SANDAG has the money, plus a $1 million grant from Caltrans,” she said. “It could begin in less than a year and be in use by the public in 2019. None of that can be said for the east-side alignment.” Choosing one route doesn’t eliminate the other, said Gabriel Buhr, the commission’s SEE RAIL TRAIL, A23
FROM FAIR, A2
“If we’re having a close to $9 million deficit in this district, we should look at every opportunity to save money or make money,” Salazar said. “These colleges charge outrageous amounts to our students and I think we should return the favor to them.” Dill said the goal is to bring as many colleges as possible to the event for students. Dill said if they begin to charge schools, there might be colleges that students wouldn’t be able to see. Salazar said in the day of internet, he is not even sure hosting a college night is necessary. “I’ve been to many of them. It’s a lot of just glad-handing and them selling themselves,” Salazar said. Board members, student representatives and staff shared their opinions about how the college night is beneficial. SDUHSD Associate Superintendent Mark Miller said the event gives the district’s lower socioeconomic students an opportunity they might not have had otherwise, to talk to a school representative face to face. Muir also said that it’s beneficial for students to learn
about financial aid and how much money is out there for them to take advantage of. “I’ve been approached by many parents who brought their kids, their kids saw schools and were interested in schools that they never ever thought they would look at,” SDUHSD Vice President Joyce Dalessandro said. “I’ve been thanked so many times for providing this service to our students as well as the county because seeing an array of colleges…is an amazing opportunity for kids to really hear about all kinds of schools.” Mikenzie Bub, the student board representative from Sunset High School, said she went two years ago not even close to graduation, and it was helpful to see just how many options are available, from big to smaller schools. “For me, I wanted to look at like 30 schools but that’s really expensive so it’s definitely a step-up from a virtual tour where you can go talk to an actual representative, to give you information that you can’t find on the website,” said Emma Schroeder, the student board representative from Canyon Crest Academy.
“If we didn’t have to use their catering services, we would not have,” Dill said. SDUHSD Board President Amy Herman said informal planning meetings have already begun for next year’s event and they intend to discuss the cost and how it is handled next year. Muir wondered if they could possibly host the event at one of the school sites, to save money on facilities rental. Isaac Gelman, the student board representative from Torrey Pines, envisioned how the event could move back to Torrey Pines and take advantage of not only the school courtyard but the spacious new learning commons. As Herman explained, the college fair started at Torrey Pines but outgrew the site. Since moving to the Fairgrounds it has grown and grown every year — this year’s sixth annual event had 200 colleges represented and 40 colleges were on the wait list. Colleges are not charged to attend but board member John Salazar said maybe they should be.

Betting on hope
T
he San Dieguito Union High School District projected a $9.2 million deficit at its March board meeting. At the May board meeting, the projected deficit was recalculated at about $8.5 million. Some might consider that a positive trend. But $8.5 million in the hole is nothing to smile about, with less that two months left until the end of the fiscal year, on June 30. In March, SDUHSD superintendent Eric Dill expressed confidence that revenue will grow by the time the books are closed. To support his hopeful outlook, he pointed to last year when a $2 million deficit turned into a $4 million surplus. But, as the saying goes, “Hope is not a plan.” Complicating the situation further, the district showed projected reserves dwindling fast – from 12.2 percent in 2016-2017, to 8.8 percent in 2017-2018, to 4.9 percent in 2018-2019, to 3.3 percent in 2019-2020. “Multi-year deficit spending continues to erode the reserves,” Dill wrote in his March 9 board report. Then there’s that pesky pension problem. The troubled California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS) is demanding increased pension contributions from school districts to stay afloat. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, school districts were required to provide 8.25 percent of teacher salaries in 2013-2014 to CalSTRS, and that number is projected to go up to 19.1 percent by 2020-2021. The California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), which manages pension and health benefits for more than 1.6 million California public employees, retirees, and their families, is in no better shape. School districts can be expected to increase their contributions in coming years to CalPERS as well. According to the California School Boards Association, the new projected rate for 2020-2021 approaches 24.9 percent, with a top rate of 28.2 percent in 2023-2024. Budget stability? This brings us back to that $6.5 million annual expense for 12.5 percent district-wide salary increases, approved by a 3-2 board in late 2015 and early 2016, discussed last week. In email conversations at the time the contract was up for approval, Bob Croft, head of the San Dieguito Faculty Association (teachers union), wrote, “Our new contractual agreement provides the financial security, health benefits, and contractual language stability that our members deserve. “This agreement also provides the budget certainty and security for our district’s future. I can only speak with great confidence that San Dieguito’s educators have very much earned every aspect of this new agreement.” “It provides budget stability,” said then Superintendent Rick Schmitt. “Our community has supported our employees over the years.” To justify the raises, the district emphasized that teachers have not received a “master contract raise” since 2007. The wording is important. Although it’s true that there has not been a contract raise in years, teachers receive salary increases annually based on what’s called
step-and-column adjustments, given for longevity and educational credentials. These step-and-column raises occur yearly regardless of whether there’s a change in the contract. Annual step-and-column increases float between $850,000 and $950,000, according to Dill. He estimated about $250,000 per year for column increases when we spoke last year. As discussed before, a first-year teacher at Step 1 and Column 1 before the contract change would earn $42,545 for a standard 186-day work year. Add in a $1,000 stipend for the required English learner credential, $11,000 from a flexible health spending account transferred into salary, and the 12.5 percent raise. So in one year’s time, that teacher’s salary goes from $42,545 to $61,573 – and that’s excluding any step-and-column raise. Square all this with Dill’s comment about the deficit at the March 9 meeting: “We need to hold tight on expenditures.” Public disclosure Last year Del Mar resident Michael Robertson filed a complaint about the teachers’ contract to the state’s Public Employment Relations Board, claiming insufficient time was provided for public review of the proposed labor contract. It’s a reasonable claim, given that the contract was first posted on the district website late in the day on Dec. 16, 2015, for a board vote to take place the next day. That gave the public less than 24 hours to review the document – assuming the public even knew it was there to review. His complaint was denied, as Robertson expected. “It’s long odds because the system is rigged,” he said. ”The people judging my complaint are union sympathizers.” He appealed the decision. Although Robertson’s tenacity is legendary, his challenge failed. “This makes a mockery of the entire process,” he said, adding that the principles of open government are violated when the public is given less than one day to review such an important document. Schmitt did attempt to post the proposed contract early, but SDFA union president Croft refused to ask his members to ratify the agreement until the day before the board meeting. The district, by advice of counsel, was told the document could not be made public until the union approved it. “It is nonsense that a public document cannot be made public unless the union ratifies it,” said attorney and education activist Sally Smith. “The board failed in its fiduciary duty to the people by hiding the contract.” Smith cited Government Code 3547 which states in part: “Meeting and negotiating shall not take place on any proposal until a reasonable time has elapsed after the submission of the proposal to enable the public to become informed and the public has the opportunity to express itself regarding the proposal at a meeting of the public school employer.” SDUHSD Associate Superintendent of Human Resources Torrie Norton said the district was forced to delay posting the contract until it was ratified by a majority of union members “to allow more teachers the chance to vote.”
www.encinitasadvocate.com Said Croft, “The SDFA Executive Board decided to allow an extended time in which our members may submit their ballots on the new agreement.” But by delaying the deadline for teachers to vote, the public was effectively denied the opportunity to review the contract. And it’s not like there was any dissension among teachers – it was a done deal, and a great deal which was ratified overwhelmingly by union members. Responded Croft at the time: “With the district deciding on the delay – not SDFA – why wouldn’t SDFA then want to take advantage of that opportunity to ensure our membership had additional time to submit their ballots? SDFA’s Executive Board most certainly wanted to do our best, given the circumstance, to allow as many members as possible to submit ballots and have their voices heard. I believe that is simply SDFA working to meet the needs of our members.” Head-in-the-sand It’s clear the public was not given sufficient time to review the contract, one that was in serious need of public scrutiny given the startling size of the salary increases. When board members Joyce Dalessandro, Beth Hergesheimer and Amy Herman voted in favor of this labor contract, they also voted in favor of secrecy and against public disclosure. Transparency and open government took a big hit that night, as did the district’s bottom line. Nevertheless, the November 2016 election saw voters reaffirm their faith in Dalessandro and Hergesheimer by re-electing them – indicating taxpayers are comfortable with their positions on fiscal issues. Still, this rosy optimism seems unwarranted and feels more like a head-in-the-sand approach to governance. Trustees have three primary duties: to hire and review the superintendent, to enact policies, and to ensure fiscal solvency for decades to come, not just until their next election. In a May 12 San Diego Union-Tribune article, Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown is quoted as saying, “[T]he economic recovery is not going to last forever … We don’t live in a world of straight-line revenues that go higher every year.” There are serious financial issues facing San Dieguito because of the contract approval, escalating pension costs and declining reserves. Ignoring these problems does not make them disappear. Voters decided last November that the status quo is what they wanted. So be it. Let’s hope things go well. Then again, hope is not a plan.

FROM RUNNER, A7 caused her legs and feet to swell to the point she had a hard time pulling on her shoes. This swelling occurred during the hardest stage of the race, a 53-mile section that must be completed in 35 hours. Because her shoes were so tight, she developed blisters on the tops and bottoms of her toes and on her ankles. Then when the sun went down, her head lamp was so dim she couldn’t see more than few feet in front of her as she ran by herself in the desert. “Racing alone at night was scary. I had to stop every 10 to 15 feet to figure out if I was still on course. I prayed a lot,” she said. Fortunately, around 8 p.m., a trio of French runners — two men and one woman — came along behind her, saw her struggling in the dark and invited her to join them. They all agreed to run through the night without stopping to rest. By 3 a.m., they were so exhausted they started calling out each others’ names to push each other on. Lee said she almost passed out right before dawn, but as the sun rose she and the others caught their second wind. The quartet finished the stage in 21.5 hours and ended it with a burst of energy, running full out together for the final 100 yards. To celebrate, Lee went to the French trio’s tent and shared all of her freeze-dried ice cream with them. “Food is the most precious thing you have out there because you have to carry it all with you. Being able to share this with them that morning was a wonderful experience,” she said. Lee finished the Marathon des Sables on April 14 (her husband and friends watched her cross the finish line via online web cameras). By the end, her feet were a mass of blisters, her
legs were so swollen she couldn’t get her compression stockings off and she’d lost nearly six pounds. Despite the challenges, Lee said she never considered quitting because she had a cause to support. She is running the Marathon Grand Slam to raise money for the Ninos De Fe Children’s Home, a shelter for abused, abandoned and orphaned children in Tijuana. Because of the challenges these children face, she feels she has it easy by comparison. “I never thought of quitting but sometimes I cursed myself,” she said. “I kept telling myself when things got bad, it could be worse. I wasn’t dying after all, so I’d say ‘you have no reason to quit. There’s no organ failure yet.’ ” Next on her list for the Grand Slam tour is the Inca Trail 26.2 Mile Marathon in Peru. Because of its high altitude — runners start at 8,000 feet, climb to “dead woman’s pass” at 13,779 feet, then drop back down into the ruins of Machu Picchu — it’s considered the world’s most difficult marathon. After that, she’ll run the Chicago Marathon in October and finish up at the Antarctic Ice Marathon in November. When she’s finished, Lee said she plans to seek out more multi-day staged races like the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, a weeklong, 103-mile race through the Alps in France, Italy and Switzerland. Not only does she like the physical test, she also likes the intellectual challenge of training and planning for each unique stage of the journey and problem-solving when things go wrong. “I don’t see the point of doing the same course over again. Running a new course is like a first date,” she said. “I like the surprise element.” --Pam Kragen is a reporter for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Marjorie May ‘Marje’ Halterman March 1, 1923 - April 1, 2017
SOLANA BEACH — “It’s not what kind of life one has, it’s how it’s lived.” Marjorie was born in Quincy, IL, on March 1, 1923, daughter to James Franklin “Frank” and Nellie Gray Anderson. The third of seven children growing up in the depression, Marjorie learned early the rhythm of life, constantly gaining experience that was interwoven throughout with joys, sorrows, adaptations, giving, and taking. Marjorie developed a love of art very early. As a second grader, a chalk snow scene of hers was displayed in the city library in Quincy. In high school, the Quincy art school awarded her an art scholarship. Marjorie left Illinois in 1946 for Long Beach,
CA. Here she found employment at the Long Beach Naval Station in bookkeeping and in film retouching. Her classes in early childhood education led to a job as a Head Start teacher. It was in Long Beach that she met and married Jacob Henry Halterman and started a family. Marje spent many summers in the Sierras
with her family, inspiring her love for nature and the outdoors. Marje valued her time as a member of the San Diego Sierra Club. She loved hiking in the mountains and working in the kitchen at the Nature Knowledge Workshop at Foster Point. Marjorie loved gardening and was quite active at Quail Botanical Gardens, now the San Diego Botanic Garden. She took great pride in her own gardens, was an excellent seamstress, and enjoyed corresponding with her family and friends. She lived independently into her 90s. Her many passions played an important role in her volunteer work with the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. It was here that she did most of the painting, producing scores of sceneries in
a relationship with the theatre that lasted nearly 35 years. Marjorie is survived by a brother, Carl Anderson; three children, Leslie Klusmire, James Halterman, Lisa Halterman Blackburn; three stepdaughters; and three grandchildren. For those who knew Marjorie, join us for a celebration of her life at the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach in the Cafe, Saturday June 10, 2017, at 10:30 am. Memorial donations in honor of her passion for the theatre may be made online at northcoastrep. org or Mail: North Coast Repertory Theatre c/o Marjorie Halterman Memorial Fund, 987 Lomas Santa Fe, Suite D, Solana Beach, CA 92075.

FROM SUMMIT, A10 of online resources – to help them explain the U.S. government system to their children. In addition to Nava, the speakers were San Dieguito Academy senior Bianca Allende Boyd, CSUSM 3rd-year student Selena Calmo-Hernandez, Guajome Park Academy teacher Joey Pearson, 6th grader Max Seibert, 5th grader Arianna Trette, and San Dieguito Academy senior Katie Wimsatt. Pearson also contributed to the event by singing “America the Beautiful” during the opening segment. As the culmination of the event, many of the children shared something they had gotten from the day. They also learned about several community service events they can participate in. Among the highlights of the event were these: After a 5th grader asked "Why is the TV so special?" the group discussed how sometimes people will believe anything just because it is on the news. A first grader who initially was hesitant and a bit shy about participating asked, at the end, if he could come back the following Saturday. At home that evening, he "taught" his father about the government. And, one of the facilitators shared this experience: “When I was facilitating a discussion about immigration and the wall, a lot of kids didn't quite understand why the president would want to keep people out. Despite this confusion, they were able to recognize that we're all human. One of the second graders wrapped up our discussion by saying, ‘We’re all humans and should respect each other.’ The kids argued against building a wall based on a basic yet often overlooked argument: we’re all human.” The Wagon Circle plans to hold the next Youth Summit on Aug. 19, location not yet determined. The group plans also to host an event for young adults (ages 14-25); the focus of that event will be ways to make their voices heard, empowering them and encouraging them to hope for a better future while investing time and energy in the North County community through service.

FROM STUDENTS, A1 interventions to all students.” Interventions include social personal counseling, group counseling, parent conferences with community resource agencies, classroom support, lots of positive reinforcement, threat assessment of students in crisis and a lot of collaboration with each site’s Associated Student Body leadership and Peer Assisted Listeners to develop school-wide activities. As part of her report, Wadley said the national recommendation for school counselors is 491 students to one counselor and the state of California averages 822 to one. The San Dieguito district’s counselor ratio is 430 to one, “putting us below national and statewide averages,” Wadley said. Counselors help students on a variety of issues, including personal, social and emotional challenges, as well as college and career counseling. “They’re really looking to empower our students to take control of what’s happening of their lives and be the drivers of what’s going on,” Wadley said. “The goal of our counselors is to assist students to develop the ability to monitor and direct their own learning in addition to their personal and social growth…We really want to develop resilient individuals.” The district also employs 12 school psychologists. The recommended ratio for students to school psychologists is 1,450 to one — SDUHSD is just under that recommendation at 1,076 to one. For the 2016-17 school year, the district also added a new level of support with school social workers. The district’s four social workers are on the
high school campuses two to three days a week and on the middle school campuses one to two days a week. Wadley said the social workers keep a flexible schedule based on the needs of campuses. School social workers have initiated over 3,000 contracts to date. Wadley said that number doesn’t include any follow-up and many times a social worker has continued to work with that student or family through as many as three to seven follow-ups. The district this year has also expanded health services and wellness services by adding a second school nurse. The district has two nurses — the state’s recommended average is 6,000 to one so SDUHSD is just above that ratio at 6,400 to one. SDUHSD board member John Salazar was surprised at the low number but SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill pointed out that for many years the district only had one nurse so it has, in fact, doubled its numbers this year. Salazar said it might be time to double it again. In addition to nurses, there are also 10 health technicians across the district. Wadley said that the continued focus for her department is on developing that multi-tiered support system for students — with counselors, school psychologists, nurses and social workers. “We will continue to focus on maintaining and increasing services for all students, parents and staff,” Wadley said, thanking the board and the superintendent for the support to allow them to do the work they do. “We want to ensure that strong support instructions are in place at all school sites to offer school connectedness and a sense of community for all of our students. I think more than ever, we realize how important that is.”

FROM POT, A1 “Both industry and non-industry people support following the rules because it protects everybody,” he said. No decision was made at the meeting. Instead, the discussion, which began April 12, continued, with the crowd appearing split on how Encinitas should write its ordinance regarding the drug. Some pushed for responsible delivery systems, expanded research options and limited cultivation on farms. Bob Echter, of Dramm & Echter Inc. in Encinitas, who has advocated for cultivation on a portion of his 800,000-square-foot agricultural property, said he has had follow-up discussions with several other growers and residents who are interested in licensed cannabis businesses for processing and creating medical products. “In short, allowing smart uses for cannabis will allow Encinitas to maintain its position at the forefront of commercial agriculture,” said Echter, who added he has created a draft ordinance with a consultation team. But opponents warned about possible dangers toward the youth and community overall and shared concerns that some proponents did not live in
the city and were just looking for monetary profit. Nancy Perry-Sheridan, a Cardiff resident, referred to a recent resolution passing by the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) that it did not support youth access to marijuana in the cities within the district, including Encinitas, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Solana Beach, Carmel Valley and Rancho Santa Fe. “Commercializing marijuana would increase its availability and normalize its use, leading to increased negative health consequences, particularly among young people,” the resolution reads. Mosca said the city council is also against youth access to marijuana but questioned how that can be regulated when cities outside SDUHSD sell the drug. Encinitas has no plans to allow storefronts, he said. Perry-Sheridan said education and communication are key in that matter. Mosca also said the city is working to regulate access for youth by banning marijuana edibles in city parks and beaches. Hall warned that would be tough to regulate, and cities that have attempted to do so have not so far been successful. “Edibles are something you would have a lot of difficulty in detecting,” he

the same as the primary dwelling. Such units have been favored by residents to help Encinitas reach its mandated state numbers for housing. Blakespear suggested the units should not be limited for homes of larger sizes, but City Senior Planner Kerry Kusiak said 1,200 is the limit under state law. Council member Tasha Boerner Horvath said lots should not be limited to one accessory unit, but rather 1,200 square feet total for one or multiple units. Blakespear also cautioned staff to bring their ordinance to the Coastal Commission early on in the process to avoid opposition, referring to the commission's denial of the city's proposed Coastal Rail Trail being on the west side earlier this month. Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz also said the ordinance should be adjusted for zoning. The council at the meeting also decided to continue the city's affordable unit policy, which went into effect in 1996 and provides amnesty to property owners of units that were constructed without permits. Currently, there are 34 existing dwelling units that have been permitted in the program, two dwelling units in the process and two dwelling units with active construction permits, according to the city. The council last December gave direction
said. Peggy Walker, a youth prevention educator, urged the city to not have a marijuana ordinance at all and ban it outright. “As long as we have marijuana, it is going to be sold to kids,” she said, referring to illegal re-sale markets. She said she cannot yet support delivery and commercial cultivation because “we’re not there yet.” The city should wait until the state writes its final regulations before writing drafts of its own, she suggested. The city is also discussing the possibility of conducting a scientific survey. Mosca and Kranz deliberated on looking at the city of Vista’s survey results before conducting a survey for Encinitas. Last October, the city council opposed Prop. 64, and in 2014 Encinitas residents rejected Measure F, an initiative that would have allowed medical marijuana dispensaries in the city. Sixty-five percent of voters in Encinitas supported Prop. 64 in the November election. Sabine at the Feb. 15 meeting advised that if a city does not take action regarding non-medical marijuana, the state can issue a license for a business in a city without the city’s input.
to city staff to pursue legislation to ease building codes for unpermitted accessory dwelling units in the city. One of the hopes is Encinitas avoiding a situation like the Oakland Ghost Ship Fire, in which 36 people on Dec. 2 died in a warehouse that contained unpermitted residential units, according to a city document. In March, the council drafted a locally-initiated bill regarding the units. The suggested bill, carried by California Senator Patricia Bates, would allow a local inspector to certify that the accessory dwelling units meet basic health and safety codes. The council on May 17 directed staff to continue to work on the bill to seek legislative relief to "allow local building officials discretion and flexibility to issue permits for existing, unpermitted dwelling units provided that health and safety standards are maintained," according to a city document. Encinitas is the only city in San Diego County without a Housing Element, a required document that spells out how a city proposes to rework its zoning to accommodate its future housing needs, particularly those of low-income people, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. The city’s original plan, which it is still working off of, was created in the 1990s. State law currently mandates Encinitas should zone for 1,093 high-density units, according to city officials.

The McNally Company Antiques holding Estate Sale May 26-27
The McNally Company Antiques is holding a two-day Estate Sale for their dear friends Christian and Cecily Castenskiold. Chris, as he is known, is the grandson of King Frederick VIII and Queen Louise of Denmark. He is the son of HRH Princess Dagmar and Master of the Royal Hunt Jørgen Castenskiold. In April 1992 Chris was honored with the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. The Estate Sale will be held Friday, May 26 and Saturday, May 27 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at 3933 Via Valle Verde, Rancho Santa Fe (Whispering Palms). Available at the Estate Sale will be antiques, furnishings, paintings, sterling silver, many Royal Copenhagen plates and memorabilia, bronzes, Sevres French clocks, designer
clothing, gentleman's formal attire, fine hats, and accessories, bric-a-brac, outdoor furniture, and much more. For more information and photographs go to and www.estatesales.net and search via the zip code 92067. Chris and Cecily moved to Rancho Santa Fe in August of 1987 where they worked together and on Nov. 1, 1987 started two magazines, 619 Social Calendar and Ranch & Club, which they owned and operated until 1995. For 29 years, they could be seen in the Village of Rancho Santa Fe at social events, either visiting, walking or dining with friends. Rancho Santa Fe will certainly miss the touch of royalty that the Castenskiolds brought to the town as will the McNallys.
FROM RAIL TRAIL, A16 coastal program manager. “It’s not one or the other,” Buhr said. “It could be both.” The city could build one section of the trail first and then build the other later as an alternate route when more money is available, he said. The eastern route would cost an additional $4 million for drainage improvements, retaining walls and bluff stabilization work, Blakespear said. It would develop an area of natural lands and wildlife that the city wants to preserve. Another objection to the eastern route was that it would include a fence that would stop people from illegally crossing the tracks toward Coast Highway and the beach. However, North County Transit District has said the fence will be built no matter where the Rail Trail goes.
The western route along Coast Highway 101 would follow and expand on existing bicycle and pedestrian paths on both sides of the highway, and would reduce vehicle travel lanes to accommodate the paths. “It’s for riders of all ages and all sorts of trips,” said Linda Culp, a principal planner for SANDAG, said of the Coast Highway bike paths. Planned since 1989, the Rail Trail will eventually stretch about 44 miles from San Diego through Oceanside. About one-third of the overall trail has been completed so far, and only Solana Beach, Encinitas’ neighbor to the south, has completed its entire 1.7-mile segment. The Cardiff segment in Encinitas is about 1.3 miles of the city’s entire 2.2 miles of the trail. — Phil Diehl is a reporter for The San Diego Union-Tribune.
