CITY CHIPS AWAY AT LEUCADIA FLOODING PROBLEM JOE TASH

The intersection of Fulvia Street and Hymettus in Leucadia often floods after rainstorms, which spills over onto the property of resident Cash Manning BY JOE TASH ncinitas officials plan to tackle chronic flooding problems in Leucadia in the coming year with a series of projects aimed at better controlling stormwater runoff following rainstorms. The flooding issue, which came up most recently during a public hearing on a proposed residential project at the corner of Hymettus Avenue and Fulvia Street, has plagued residents of various parts of Leucadia for years. City officials, including members of the City Council and the director of Public Works, say there is a commitment to addressing the problem. Mayor Kristin Gaspar said she and her colleagues are “well aware” of the flooding issues in Leucadia. “This is something I have pushed for,” Gaspar said. “I think we’re finally at the council all on the same SEE FLOODING, A22

Parents voice accusations over Encinitas yoga classes BY CHRIS SAUR A June 7 Encinitas Union School District (EUSD) board meeting that started with a joyous retirement ceremony for 13 of the district’s elementary school teachers and four staff members, saw a dramatic shift in mood after the topic turned to the budget and an $800,000 allotment for controversial yoga classes. The

classes are in the health and wellness part of the district’s enrichment wheel program. Several parents, who spoke about the yoga classes during public comment, accused EUSD Superintendent Tim Baird of serious offenses such as fraud, collusion and knowingly presenting tainted research to justify the program.

EMBRACE

THIS INCREDIBLE MARKET. IT WON’T LAST FOREVER.

The yoga program, which has expanded into a weekly fixture in EUSD schools since starting small in 2012, was previously funded by grants from the Encinitas nonprofit Sonima Foundation. The foundation has provided about $4 million for the yoga program, including $800,000 of funding this school year.

That funding has been discontinued, but Baird says the program is valuable. The enrichment wheel program not only allows students a chance for specialty classes like yoga, but that in turn provides collaboration time for classroom teachers during those periods. SEE YOGA, A10

BY CHRIS SAUR Firm support for Safe Routes To Schools (SRTS) programs — from both sides of the dais — highlighted the June 8 Encinitas City Council meeting, which featured city staff presenting its proposal for the 2016-17 Operating and Capital Budgets. While the budget will be officially approved at the June 22 meeting, the council heard details of more than 30 city projects on June 8, eventually voting 5-0 to instruct city staff to finalize the budget basically as presented. Out of nearly $79 million designated for General Fund Expenditures and Other Use, $905,000 is being earmarked for improvements near three Encinitas school sites. “I support this budget proposal and I specifically support the Safe Routes To Schools projects,” said Councilwoman Catherine Blakespear. “I think that it’s really important that we address these safety concerns around our schools. I think, as we heard from all of the public testimony today, the public is crying out for public safety improvements. “(These projects) are good value for the money. I think the process was a good process, coming from the school and I commend (city manager Karen Brust) for organizing it that way.” Councilmen Tony Kranz and Mark SEE BUDGET, A21

Roberts, Gaspar to face off for county supervisor seat Giant ficus trees spared from removal, for now

BY JOSHUA STEWART Incumbent Dave Roberts is set to face Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar for county supervisor in a November runoff election, a race that puts two politicians with experience governing coastal cities against each other. Roberts finished first in Tuesday’s primary election with a modest lead over Gaspar in the Third District. Escondido Mayor Sam Abed trailed in third place and is out of the running. Roberts, a former Solana Beach councilman and mayor, credits the relationships he’s built with communities and voters as the key to his success. Nearly every day, and sometimes multiple times, he would meet with his constituents at neighborhood meetings, ribbon cuttings, or ceremonies. He used those interactions to not only introduce himself and make allies, but to listen to their concerns and talk about how the county serves their community, Roberts said. “I think it helped tremendously,” Roberts, a Democrat, said. “I think it’s extremely important to be out and about.” Roberts said these countless interactions gave him an understanding of the county and his constituents that Gaspar and Abed lack. Gaspar, a Republican, said she gained a spot in the runoff because voters were upset about a costly

scandal that involved Roberts’ office last year, and they found Abed, a firebrand conservative, too polemical for a moderate district looking for pragmatic representation on the Board of Supervisors. “His approach and his demeanor, to me, was a defining factor. I think, also, if you take hard party lines, that can be something of a turnoff,” she said. She believes voters considered her — a Republican mayor with an ethical image in a city with a Democratic majority— as a good choice. “I think that’s where there is a real clear distinction between myself and Mayor Abed, it’s how we do our business,” Gaspar said. Abed did not return a request for comment but in a Facebook post he blamed business organizations that supported Gaspar for his loss. “This will only help Dave Roberts maintain a critical County seat in November. What a shame,” Abed wrote. Gaspar said she will continue to press Roberts on a scandal that hurt his office last spring. Four of his staff members abruptly resigned and made a series of allegations against the supervisor, including a charge that he offered a subordinate a raise and promotion in exchange for misleading a county inquiry into his office.

Three filed formal complaints that the county later settled for $310,000. The District Attorney’s Office investigated but declined to press charges. Roberts said he did nothing wrong beyond making bad hires. “There should be zero tolerance for elected officials behaving improperly while they are in office and we need to expect more from our leadership,” Gaspar said. On policies, she said she’ll emphasize public safety. The county seems to be focused on short- and medium- term public safety projects, she said, adding that there needs to be more emphasis on long-term goals, particularly with fire safety. Roberts’ campaign manager Gary Gartner said he’s concerned that organizations that backed Gaspar in the primary will spend large amounts in the fall, making for a challenging race. In the primary, a group funded by the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce and the business-oriented Lincoln Club spent $108,865 for mailers and literature supporting Gaspar as of May 21. Despite the potential efforts from political organizations, Gartner said he thinks Roberts will do well. “In 2012 he won by less than 2 percent and he had an avalanche of negative mail against him, too,” he said. The Roberts campaign will focus on SEE SEAT, A16

BY JOE TASH The city has granted a temporary reprieve to four large, venerable ficus trees that had been scheduled to be cut down during the week of June 6-10. The trees are located between the sidewalk and the curb, on city property, two in the 600 block of Third Street, and two in the 1000 block of Second Street. Property owners had approached the city because the trees’ roots had caused damage to underground utilities and sidewalks. The trees were planted decades ago, and their leafy green canopies, which span 40 to 60 feet, provide cool shade for the streets and sidewalks below. But officials determined they should be cut down to prevent additional damage. The trees, due to their large root systems, should not have been planted so close to buildings, they said. This week, however, Encinitas Public Works Director Glenn Pruim told his staff to hold off on cutting down the trees, so that a discussion could be held by the City Council’s Urban Forest Subcommittee. There are as many as two dozen of the large ficus trees along downtown streets, said Pruim, and the subcommittee will consider an overall plan for their replacement. “I wanted to take a pause and look at this holistically, rather than just removing these four trees,” he said. While that process could take a while, he said, the city might have to act more quickly if an issue arises with damage being caused by one of the trees. Residents have contacted this newspaper, concerned about the trees’ removal, both for aesthetic reasons and because of birds nesting in the trees. If and when the ficus trees are cut down, the city plans to replace them with other, more suitable trees, officials said.

Leucadia Club gets pushback on alcohol permit request BY BARBARA HENRY A private club for career-minded people on Coast Highway 101 in Leucadia shouldn’t be allowed to serve alcohol to the general public, Encinitas planning commissioners said June 2. Instead, the club needs to rework its pending liquor-license application with the state Department of Beverage Control and seek a different, more costly license that would restrict the club’s beer and wine sales to members and their guests. To assist in the process, the Planning Commission agreed Thursday, June 2, to delay its vote on city use permits the club needs to accompany its liquor license application. The public liquor license “is the wrong license for the organization, and I don’t want to set a precedent,” Commissioner Glenn O’Grady said of the group’s initial application. Still, the three-month postponement and the change in the application won’t guarantee the club will get its permits and be allowed to sell alcohol. “I don’t want to give you the false sense that you’ll be a shoe-in,” Commissioner Tasha Boerner Horvath said, noting that the area near the club has a high number of alcohol-related crimes and an “over-concentration” of businesses

licensed to sell alcohol. The Leucadia Club received a city minor use permit in 2014 allowing it to operate next to Pandora’s Pizza in the Leucadia Plaza, near the southeast corner of Leucadia Boulevard and North Coast Highway 101. The private club proposal was somewhat controversial and the city permit contained a string of conditions, including a ban on alcohol sales and the requirement that no more than 20 club members can be in the facility at any one time. Founding club member Charlie McDermott told the commission June 2 that the wild rumors tossed around by opponents four years ago were baseless. He said the club has had so little impact on the neighborhood that people don’t realize when it’s open. The Leucadia Club is a social-networking group that brings people from a wide range of backgrounds together and has helped arrange financing for some business endeavors, he said. The group wants to only serve alcohol in the evenings after 5 p.m. and they’ll be charging something like $20 a glass, so it’s unlikely that people will be over indulging. SEE ALCOHOL, A22

Encinitas police want help tracking down tracker thieves Encinitas police are asking for assistance from the public in identifying two men that are suspected of shoplifting a pair of Fitbit Blaze fitness trackers (estimated value $400) from a Target in the 1000 block of North Camino Real. Just before 7 p.m. on May 29, the two suspects were captured by surveillance cameras as they picked two Fitbit trackers from the display shelf and took them to another section of the store to remove the security tags. One of the suspects then hid them in his jacket. The first suspect is a white male between 20 and 30 years old, who stands 5’9” and

weighs approximately 180 pounds. He was wearing a black letterman jacket with the letters “EC 06” and “Price” on the back, black pants and black shoes.

Train today for annual City of Hope walk set for September BY KRISTINA HOUCK With a goal to cure cancer, local walkers are currently training for a two-day walk that will benefit one of the nation’s leading centers for cancer treatment and research. Although the fifth annual San Diego Together4Hope 2-Day Walk isn’t slated until September, organizers are encouraging people to train early for the 40-mile event. “It’s just a wonderful time to get with people who care about something that is worthwhile,” said Encinitas resident and event organizer Gail King. “We’re making a difference in the lives of people who have cancer and their families.” Training walks begin 16 weeks prior to the event date and are usually held every Saturday starting mid-June, with walks scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays as the event becomes closer. A training walk schedule will be posted on the event website at together4hope.org. Reservations are required as space is limited for each week’s free training walk. “The training is imminently important,” said King, who noted that the group held 34 training walks last year. “It’s different than running.” The two-day walk will take place during the last weekend of September. Check-in is at 7 a.m. on the first day, Saturday, Sept. 24, followed by an opening ceremony at 7:30 a.m. Participants will walk around De Anza Cove in Mission Bay, where a 5K walk/run and standup paddleboard course will also be held in the

The 5K walk/run starts at 8 a.m. Two standup paddleboard sessions will take place at 8 and 9:30 a.m. The route for the second day of the walk, Sunday, Sept. 25, is still being planned. Lunch will be provided to all walkers on both days. During the walks, pit stops will be located along the routes. In addition to restrooms, pit stops will have complimentary refreshments and snacks. Minor medical supplies will also be

available. “You meet new friends,” said King, who met her husband during a training walk. “I’ve made so many friends through the training walks and through the actual walk.” Having participated in other walks, King pitched an idea for a two day, 40-mile walk in San Diego County that would benefit the City of Hope, one of the nation’s leading centers for cancer treatment and research. With many volunteer hours and

support, the first-ever San Diego Together4Hope 2-Day Walk was held in 2012. “Time goes by so fast. It’s just amazing,” King said. She and the other organizers, who are all grandmothers, are now known as “Grandmothers 4 Hope.” The 2015 San Diego Together4Hope 2-Day Walk was held the last weekend of September. On the first day, participants walked around De Anza Cove in Mission Bay. On the second day, participants walked from Moonlight Beach in Encinitas to Magee Park in Carlsbad and then back to Moonlight Beach. “It’s beautiful,” King said. “We live in a very beautiful area.” A total of 17 people participated in last year’s event. Each participant raised a minimum of $1,000 by walking 40 miles over the course of two days across the county. Participants will be asked to raise at least $1,000 again this year. Altogether last year’s event raised $32,000 for the City of Hope, which is located in Duarte, northeast of Los Angeles. Over the past four years, the group has raised more than $160,000 to combat cancer. “We have one goal: cure cancer,” King said. “We’re always looking for that cure.” For more information or to register for the event, visit together4hope.org.

Stormwater program has local students making waves BY CHRIS SAUR A group of scientists working at schools within the Encinitas Union School District (EUSD) has achieved great success with its Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP), including earning a $720,000 grant to implement its plan and winning an award from the California Stormwater Quality Association. Even more impressive is that the scientists are actually a group of fifth- and sixth-graders at six local elementary schools; El Camino Creek, Flora Vista, La Costa Heights, Mission Estancia, Ocean Knoll and Olivenhain Pioneer. The program started in 2013 with just two elementary schools and has expanded each of the past two years. Under the direction of Bill Dean and his colleagues at the environmental education company Dean and Associates, more than 100 students at the local schools have been donning rain gear, gathering data and devising solutions to the stormwater pollution on their campuses. Dean organizes the program like a business, the students submit applications and are hired as interns. Reducing pollution in those storm drains is important to the students, who know that it eventually flows into the ocean. “I thought we were making a change in the school in a good way, preventing it from sending out dirty water,” said Ellyanna Cinzori, a sixth-grader at Ocean Knoll. “I think it’s fun that we get to help save the ocean because I love going to the beach,”

gather the date on stormwater quality and take it further by then coming up with solutions on how they could reduce the pollution?” “I wanted to try it with young students and I felt like if I created a structure for them that they could work in, that they would raise their level of understanding up to it. And they did it.” Dean’s faith in the fifth- and sixth-graders of the Encinitas area was well-founded, as in June 2015 the SWPPP program got a DROPS grant of more than $700,000 from the California Water Quality Control board. The program also won an award from the California Stormwater Quality Association, beating out several professional organizations and earning a chance to present at the association’s annual conference in September. It’s those presentations that Dean and Ocean Knoll Principal Jennifer Bond agree is perhaps the most impressive aspect of the program. Learning that kind of sophisticated communication, they say, will benefit the kids greatly as they grow up and get into the working world. “Seeing how they start out shy and don’t really feel comfortable talking in front of a group or especially having an educated conversation with strangers on a topic, to now, at the end of the school year, how they are able to present in front of large audiences of people, from students to adults that they don’t know at all … they are just empowered to see that their knowledge and their voice can make a difference,” said Bond, whose daughter Naia Riggenbach is a fifth-grade SWPPP intern. “To me, that is the biggest impact of the program. It’s really cool because I know that they are going to take this and use it for the rest of their lives. “When (our fifth- and sixth-graders) are the ones up there presenting to the educators in that field and they are being able to have these conversations, answer their questions, help them get programs started in their communities ... it gives you goose bumps.” Riggenbach said she and her “co-workers” wore galoshes, raincoats, googles and gloves to collect samples in the rain. “That was fun!”

Ocean Knoll students — from left, Ellyanna Cinzori, Reese Goldboss and Camilla Rodriguez — collect a rain event sample at the lunch drain as part of the award-winning Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP). Each year there’s a crop of new interns as well as students coming back for their second year. The students have weekly “staff meetings” during lunch to work on the project. At the beginning of the school year, the students learn about how rainwater collects, picks up pollution, goes into the storm drains and eventually ends up in the ocean. These lessons include studying blueprints of the campus and learning about specific pollutants and their effects. In November, the visual observations begin with students breaking up into five groups, each one covering a specific drain at their school. “I thought it was fun how we would go out and take observations from our drain. My favorite time we did it was when we got to check out the construction site (on campus) and observe how it was affecting our drain,” said Ocean Knoll sixth-grader Erica Brunst. “We observed what makes our drain clogged, the sediment and oil, where it comes from and how it gets there.” Structuring the program like an actual business, Dean said each student has a specific job. They work together to collect stormwater and send it to the Encina Environmental Laboratory for testing, which is specific to the possible pollutants in each drain. For example, the samples from the drain in the parking lot are tested for oil. “When we ran tests, we had to fill out forms so that when we sent it to Encina, they would know what they were testing for,” explained sampling supervisor Kate Paxton, a sixth-grader at Ocean Knoll. “It was kind of exciting, it made you feel more grown-up, more in charge of things. It was kind of like running our own little business, which was kind of cool, and making a difference made it a lot better.” By January, the students have an actual set of hard data and begin to develop and design solutions, which they call Best Management Practices (BMPs). Students create BMPs in three categories. The first, nonstructural BMPs, can be done immediately.

It’s never too late to be a great father Encinitas senior takes plunge into parenting through fostering

BY JENNIFER COBURN Dick Kurtik says being a father is hard work, but it’s not rocket science. He should know. The retired chemistry teacher has been married to a veteran of the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab for nearly 20 years. Together, the couple decided to take the plunge into parenting for the first time, serving as foster parents of infants and toddlers through Angels Family Foster Network. The 73-year-old Encinitas resident says he had never taken care of an infant on his own until six years ago when his niece asked him to babysit her four-month-old daughter, Lucy, for the day. “My wife was working at the time, and initially I was terrified,” he says with an easy laugh. “I was amazed that I was capable.” He soon found that he was more than just capable, but quite good at it. To his delight, he gained tremendous satisfaction from caring for his grandniece. “We went on walks, I tried to make her laugh, basically, I just gave her love.” Initially it was Kurtik’s wife, Susan, who suggested becoming parents who foster. She researched options and found Angels Foster Family Network to be the best fit for them. “We liked that the organization limited the number children in foster care in a home to one child or sibling set,” so children could receive the focused attention they need. The Kurtiks also felt they were best equipped to provide care for infants and toddlers, which is the age range Angels serves. The couple attended an information

They were also surprised to hear about the connection between many of the parents who foster and biological families. These were truly respectful partnerships rather than adversarial relationships, and that had great appeal to the Kurtiks, especially Dick who enjoyed playing a mentorship role during his 33 years teaching at Moorpark Community College in Ventura. “Fostering goes beyond caring for the baby, it’s caring for the parents too,” he explains. Though reunification with a child’s

biological family is always the goal in foster care, it’s not always possible, as the Kurtiks discovered with their first placement, an infant who spent several months with the couple. The San Diego County Department of Child Welfare, which works in partnership with Angels, realized that reunification was not an option, and the Kurtiks’ placement was adopted by another family. The Kurtiks stay in touch with the little girl and her “forever family” and enjoy frequent visits, which now include their new foster placement, a baby girl who has been with them for nearly two months. “Our family keeps growing!” Dick says. The Kurtiks’ grandniece, Lucy — Dick’s original charge — is now 6 years old and has a 3-year-old brother Enzo, and both are crazy about the most recent addition to the family. “Lucy always wants to hold the baby, and kiss the baby,” he says. “Did I ever think something like this would happen? No. But it’s very rewarding. We just want these children to have the best chance at succeeding in life as they can.” Space may be the final frontier to some. But for Dick Kurtik it’s fatherhood. He plans to celebrate Father’s Day setting up a visit with the baby girl’s biological father, then heading to the park at the beach. “She likes the swing,” he says. “I don’t feel as though I need a special day. We try to get as much as we can from every day we’re together.” For more about Angels Foster Family Network, visit angelsfoster.org.

PREP TRACK AND FIELD

Mavericks finish strong season with fun-filled appearance at state BY CHRIS SAUR With a group of seven La Costa Canyon athletes competing at the CIF State Track & Field meet June 3-4 at Buchanan High in Clovis, including one in senior Kyle Brown taking a third-place finish in the pole vault, coach Bob Sisler’s favorite memory didn’t happen anywhere near the track. “They ended up going to the mall one day and pitched in to buy a build-a-bear dog and donated it to be our team mascot,” Sisler said. “Now, that will be with us for years to come. “Taking this group of seven to state was good, they are a fun bunch.” And while Brown’s mind also wandered to the social aspect of the trip — “It was a fun experience going up with the team, traveling and bonding with everyone” — his second straight trip to the California finals was a successful one by most accounts. Already holding a San Diego Section championship (Brown jumped 16-04 to clinch that title on May 28) and the school record of 16-05, the senior standout cleared 15-08 in Clovis. An ultra-competitive athlete, who will take a year off, then

compete in college starting in the fall of 2017, Brown was disappointed to miss a state title, but admitted that his goal before the season was to clear 16 feet. “I did that in the first meet of the season, which was kind of a surprise, so everything else was just icing on the cake,” Brown explained.”

He was joined at the CIF Finals by sister McKenna Brown, the section champion in the 1,600 meters (4:58.92), as well as her counterpart Bryan Johnson, a Mavericks senior who took the SDS boys 1,600 crown in 4:18.71. McKenna Brown battled late-season sickness to finish 17th in the state by crossing in 5:03.32

in the preliminary heat. “Coming into the season, my main goal was to go to state. It was such a cool experience,” said the sophomore speedster. “I’m so glad I got the opportunity to do it and I think I’ll be even more prepared for next year.” Johnson, who also missed time with illness earlier in the season,

took 24th (4:17.53) at Buchanan High. The other four LCC representatives were sprinters, as seniors Michelle Gould and Makaila Eddington, sophomore Kendall Nicholas and freshman Taylor Fardig used a school-record 48.51 (second place) in the 4x100 relay at the section meet to qualify for the state championships. “It was all really exciting because they announced our time on the speaker and we realized that we got our school record,” Nicholas said. “That’s what we’ve been striving for all season is to break that record, and then we also get the chance to go to state.” This early taste of success should pay big dividends for youngsters like Nicholas and Fardig, who Gould said are the reason that the Mavericks have a bright future. “It was a lot different from middle school, it was a lot harder and pushed me to be a lot better,” Fardig explained of her ninth-grade season. “Overall it was a great experience for me to be able to bond with people who are older than me and were able to pass on techniques to me.” With such a strong mix of SEE TRACK, A16

FROM YOGA, A1 Baird has decided that the yoga program should continue to be funded next year, with health and wellness money being built into the 2016-17 budget. The first public draft of that budget was presented at the June 7 meeting and the final budget will be voted on by the school board at its June 24 meeting. “The (teacher) collaboration time is very important and the health and wellness time is very important,” Baird told the Encinitas Advocate. “Survey data from parents, students and teachers shows strong support for this program, including a survey that was done this year that 75 percent of people saw value in the program. “More important than dollars, to teachers, is time. If teachers were not seeing benefits (in their time) from this program, they would be screaming. How many teachers did you hear (questioning this) tonight?” The public comment consisted of six parents and Flora Vista fourth-grader Jake Saidy — who said he felt the money was too much to spend on yoga and suggested it be a voluntary after-school program — strongly disagreeing

with the idea that the weekly yoga program is critical. The speakers ranged from those saying that the district’s priorities were out of whack, to those who believe laws have been broken. The parent group says that proponents of the program such as Baird, use a 2012-13 study to justify the program. This study, conducted by the University of San Diego’s Center for Education and Policy Law (CEPAL), compared Encinitas students that had participated in a full year of the yoga program and those that had had it for only half of the year. Parent Greg Robin detailed what he called a conflict of interest as he explained that Scott Himelstein, the center director at CEPAL, was also on the advisory board of the Sonima Foundation. (Himelstein is no longer listed on the Sonima website). Robin reminded listeners that Baird is on that same advisory board. Robin also read from what he called “the actual findings of the research” on yoga in schools saying “the CEPAL study failed to support the hypothesis that all-year yoga students would perform better than half-year yoga students in measures of fitness, behavior, attendance, academic performance or

emotional well-being.” Robin added that he had found evidence of payment to Himelstein of “almost $500,000 … for biased research” by the Sonima Foundation, which was founded by Encinitas businessman Paul Tudor Jones and his wife Sonia Jones. “This isn’t about yoga, this is about a billionaire couple, basically directing school policy in our district,” said Robin, who went on to accuse Baird of misrepresenting the results of the study to expand the EUSD program. Anna Hysell, a lawyer and a mother of children in the district, took it a step further. Hysell said she has launched an investigation into Baird and the Encinitas school board “and what we have found is completely illegal.” She accused Baird of colluding with Himelstein and the Sonima Foundation to falsify research about the yoga program. She urged the board and those in the audience to visit a website where she has compiled her evidence at www.encinitasparents4truth.com. The district has information about its budget and specifically the Health and Wellness program at ww2.eusd.net. Hysell said Baird is committing fraud and is subject to prosecution. She went on to say that she plans to hand over her evidence to the U.S Dept. of Education’s Office of Inspector General and California Audits and Investigation Unit, and that she has already notified the San Diego District Attorney. Baird said that the group’s information is not correct. “There were many things that were incorrectly said (during public comment), and I will address those that are appropriate,” Baird said. “There’s been a lot made about me being on an advisory board. It was an unpaid

position and all it meant was, I’m a superintendent in a district where they first implemented this program and they asked me once a year to tell their real board what were the effects of this program in our district, what I was seeing and did I want funding to continue the next year. I made a 10-to-15-minute report to their board once a year, and that lists me as an advisor. That was my job as the superintendent. “Beyond that, this has been a good program for our district. It would be negligent of me as superintendent to say ‘let’s throw away a good program’ just because someone else was paying for it and now we have to try to figure out how to (pay for it ourselves). “But I know the board has to look at budget priorities, and that’s a difficult responsibility.” Interestingly, following the emotionally-charged public comment that featured loud reactions from the more than 50 concerned parents and community members in the audience, the board turned to a more broad-ranging discussion of how to best get input from their parents, teachers and students when Leighangela Brady presented the first reading of the Local Control Accountability plan. With just a few people left in the audience, Brady, the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services, talked about the process for getting feedback from parents, students and teachers. She also detailed changes to programs, plans and allocations of funds that the district planned to make thanks to that input. When the conversation touched on Health and Wellness, Brady and several of the board members reiterated the value of the teacher collaboration time provided by the enrichment wheel classes, including yoga.

Fast-rising Intrepid Theatre on the move

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY JAMES HEBERT Some young theater companies burst onto the stage scene in a roil of raw ambition and energy. But Intrepid Theatre — as has become its style — did things a little differently. Seven years ago, it showed up in San Diego more or less literally in the middle of the night. The occasion was a midnight staging of “Macbeth,” a debut show that signaled both the company’s early devotion to the Bard (its original name was Intrepid Shakespeare) and its classical-meets-contemporary sensibilities. You won’t need a flashlight to find Intrepid now. In one of the more extraordinary stories in local theater, this company founded by two now-married actors, Christy and Sean Yael-Cox, has put together a string of exquisitely realized shows that have pulled in audiences and wowed critics, particularly in the past three years. In February, Intrepid pulled off an impressive feat for a small theater company: It won the annual Craig Noel Award for outstanding dramatic production for the second year running. (The awards are presented by the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle, of which — full disclosure — I’m a member.) That’s especially remarkable when you consider that the honors — for “The Quality of Life” in 2015 and “All My Sons” the previous year — came in competition with shows from comparatively huge, nationally renowned institutions in this theater-rich town. As Intrepid has risen to a new plane of recognition of success, it also has outgrown its all-Shakespeare mission (although the

NANCEE LEWIS

Intrepid Theatre’s Christy and Sean Yael-Cox will stage the upcoming season at Horton Grand Theatre. company still tours the Bard’s plays to schools as part of its extensive education program). But one thing about the company remains the same: It still has no permanent performance home. That looked due to change starting last year, when the city of Encinitas (where Intrepid has frequently produced) announced it had entered into negotiations for the company to build a new theater on a long-vacant plot designated more than 20 years ago for a performing-arts use. Now, though, the price tag for even the small “starter” facility Intrepid originally proposed (and was planning to pay for) has risen to

about $2.5 million, Christy Yael-Cox says. That’s some five times the original estimate. That cost, she says, makes it impossible for Intrepid to continue pursuing the project, at least for the time being. So Intrepid is now set to announce that it will sign a lease to produce its next season of shows at the Horton Grand Theatre, now operated by Coronado-based Lamb’s Players Theatre as its second space. That’s where Intrepid’s two most recent productions (a vibrant revival of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and the current staging of the musical “Woody Guthrie’s American Song”) have gone up in a guest residency with

Lamb’s. The lease will be for one year, at least initially. “I have mixed feelings about this, because I love Encinitas,” Yael-Cox says. “All of our programming has been up there, all of our education programming is up there, all of our camps are up there. “I really want to see that happen for Encinitas, because I love the city of Encinitas, and I love how vibrant and diverse a community it is.” But “the big challenge is there is no facility for us there right now. We have to produce somewhere in order to stay alive as an organization, and we have bounced around the county.” At the same time, the Horton Grand is “a great space for us, in a great part of town. And we’re not in a position to (sit still).” Catherine Blakespear, an Encinitas City Council member who is now running for mayor, was part of a two-member subcommittee (with Mayor Kristin Gaspar) delegated to work with Intrepid. The effort represented at least the fifth serious bid to build a theater at the Encinitas Ranch Town Center site since a prospective performing-arts space was incorporated into the mall plans in 1994. But the meetings petered out “after it became clear they weren’t going to be able to build a theater that would suit their needs and that would be compliant with all the various regulations the city would have,” Blakespear SEE THEATRE, A22

any factors are catalyzing the current housing market boom in North San Diego County – one of which is the impactful concept of sustainable, “green” construction. Across San Diego County, permits were pulled for about 10,000 residential units during 2015 (a nine-year high). Local experts called for a similar number in 2016. “We will expect a very similar year to last year,” said Borre Winckel, president and CEO of the Building Industry Association. About 25 percent of the new homes will be detached single-family residences, with the other 75 percent consisting of attached condos and townhomes. And due to state regulations, new homes will be built with sustainable practices in mind. “Right now it’s all about climate change but it comes at a cost,” Winckel said. “We are all concerned about limiting greenhouse gases. Unfortunately, probably the only housing that can be completely built with sustainability in mind are the very dense, ultra-expensive homes – what we call Class A housing products.” Sustainable Focus There is renewed focus on supporting sustainable, high-performance, new home construction and remodeling, even if a complete “green” build is out of reach for the majority of homeowners in North San Diego County. Some of this is due to the amount of support available to builders across the region. According to the National Association of Home Builders, the organization encourages its members through research, innovation and the use and acceptance of scientifically supported, cost-effective and proven technologies, methods, products and materials. And as homeowners, builders and developers will tell you, implementing sustainable practices is about more than optimizing the construction process. It’s also about enhancing the environment. Some of the top sustainable techniques being implemented in new builds and home

Courtesy of Davidson Communities at Enclave Rancho Santa Fe renovations include smaller-sized homes for reduced environmental impact and the installation of solar panels, Energy Star windows, rainwater harvesting systems and tank-less water heaters. “There are extremely efficient water use systems to help with water conservation,” Winckel said. “Some of the systems you’ll find in the high-end homes included water recycling technology. Energy consumption is a big issue here, and many homeowners are equipping their garage with charging stations. Solar panels are huge. And then of course all of the sustainable building materials that contractors can put to use today.” These materials can include reclaimed lumber, recycled plastic, recycled glass, bamboo flooring and natural tiles.

levels and energy-efficient lighting are sustainable finishing touches that help reduce a home or unit’s dependency on electricity. The Sweet Spots Energy-efficient building techniques are also in full force in multi-home units and apartment complexes – and tenants are moving in groves to enjoy the new “green” amenities. The most expensive and sought-after housing market remains Coastal North County, which includes Encinitas south to La Jolla and inland to Carmel Valley and Rancho Santa Fe. Avino is a new residential community featuring one-, two- and three-bedroom luxury rentals in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Surrounded by 1,300 acres of preserved natural habitat and centrally located near top schools and entertainment venues, this 14-acre, eco-friendly

community offers great access to Torrey Pines State Beach and Del Mar Racetrack. It also offers a solar-powered clubhouse and a direct-access garage with electric charging stations. According to a 2015 report by the San Diego Union-Tribune, some of new proposals in the concept or planning phases included Warner Ranch, which called for 780 homes on the north side of state Route 76, and Newland Sierra, the revised Merriam Mountains project that would put roughly 2,135 homes north of San Marcos and Escondido. This rapid growth has led builders to join networks like San Diego Green Homes, a group of building product and service providers dedicated to architecting homes that are environmentally friendly, energy efficient and healthier. “We hope to facilitate the networking process by connecting people with architects, contractors, and material providers in their area, and assist them with building more responsibly,” details the entity’s website. More Value, Less Inventory The average price for new homes in coastal North County in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $1.14 million, according to statistics from Market Pointe. While home values increase and inventory shrinks, there are constraints facing the housing market, particularly in coastal North County. These include the high costs of permits and regulatory compliance, and a reluctance to approve higher density housing. A study released in 2015 by Point Loma Nazarene University found that, on average, the cost of regulation in San Diego County amounts to about 40 percent of the price of a new home. Those costs include fees for building permits, as well as for schools, sewer lines and water connections. So while “green” building is all the rage on the coast, builders and developers are also toeing the line between finding new land, following stringent state regulations and appeasing a population in need of more moderately priced options in new housing.

Watkins Landmark Construction provides ‘Custom Quality with Commercial Efficiency’ I

n the fall of 2004, Jody James Watkins formed Watkins Landmark Construction. It was his goal to build a construction company that specializes in cutting-edge projects that leave a lasting impression on the client, the users, and the surrounding community. Hence the term “Landmark” in the company name. He sought to bring his experiences from working on such award-winning projects as the aforementioned Petco Park and Indian Wells Tennis Garden, Pfizer Campus Biotech Research Buildings, and the Pacific Athletic Club to Watkins Landmark Construction. Each of these projects required a custom level of quality done at the efficiency only a commercial contractor can obtain. This was the basis for our first company slogan “Custom Quality with Commercial Efficiency.” Another part of our company vernacular is the “elevator pitch.” The company elevator pitch is, “Our niche is we don’t have a niche!” We are mighty proud of the fact that we are builders first and foremost. Not just builders of restaurants, or churches, or tenant improvements. We build all types of projects … not just a certain type. Jody has said more than a few times that he

The Tennis Garden would get bored if the company only built one type of project. However, it is more than just that singular reason for our pursuit of a wide scope of projects. We believe that our diversity is our strength. We are builders. No

qualification of project types needs to follow. These days, forever moving forward, our company motto is simply “Build to Serve.” While this motto is a play on words, considering our biggest project to

date is a state-of-the-art tennis stadium featured at the BNP Paribas Open, it also emphasizes the core or company. Watkins Landmark prides itself in over-serving the client. We figure out what our client is unable — or unwilling — to say. Construction is not just about “Substantial Completion.” It’s about the journey. There is a saying within our company that goes, “If we get to the interview, then we will win the project.” This is based not only on our high win percentage if we get to the interview, but the amount of preparation that we put into every bid. Our competition will usually present the estimate and project schedule. We present the estimate complete with assumptions and value engineering alternates, project schedule, project organizational chart, site plan and a similar project portfolio. We are not often the lowest bidder, but we are the most complete. We also pride ourselves in providing the most value-engineering alternates that will assist the owner in any budgetary challenge. While this formula might seem simple, it goes the extra mile and our award percentage per interview is over 90 percent. SEE WATKINS, A15

Jody James Watkins, founder of Watkins Landmark Construction. FROM WATKINS, A14 Since Watkins Landmark was founded, we have made fun part of the day’s work. We are a family company at our core.

here at Watkins Landmark. Our core values are Persistence (mentioned earlier), Personable, Pride in Work, and Trustworthy. Personable is a value that is scrutinized from the first interview. “Can this candidate pass the beer test?” is always asked after every interview. The meaning of this question is, “Would I sit down and have a beer with this individual?” We have declined to hire very qualified candidates because they would not hold our clients interest in a conversation. Pride in Work is a core value held by every true builder. All employees at Watkins Landmark will tell you what “Drive By Pride” means. It is the feeling you get when you drive by a project that you had a hand in building weeks, months, or even years after substantial completion. It is one of the values that will attract highly qualified candidates in the construction industry, to our company. Trustworthy is the last of the core values set by Jody James Watkins. It is a self-explanatory core value. From the beginning of Watkins Landmark Construction, Jody wanted to only surround himself with people he can trust unequivocally. Hence, several of our earliest employees have worked with Jody at previous companies. These are people that Jody not only had great respect for, but called them his friends as well. It was these relationships that formed the foundation of our culture. For questions or more information, please call us at (858) 259-1240 or visit us at www.watkinslandmark.com.

their candidate’s resume to try and show that Roberts is a supervisor who has delivered results to all corners of the district and that he can can build on his successes in a second term. “This election, I believe, is about the voters and what the voters want and expect from a county supervisor, and I am going to continue to meet their needs. They want their quality of life protected,” Roberts said. Republicans have a voter registration advantage with 38 percent of voters, while Democrats have 33.2 percent in the Third District. An additional 27.3 do not belong to any party. The district includes parts of the county’s central coast, a part of San Diego as well as inland cities. Results are unofficial, but with all precincts from Tuesday’s primary election reporting, Roberts leads Gaspar 39.1 percent to 33.6 percent, while Abed is in third with 27.3 percent. There are still 285,000 mail in and provisional ballots across the county that need to be counted, but only a portion are within the Third District.

talented young athletes and skilled veterans, it’s no wonder this season exceeded Sisler’s expectations. In addition to the good representation at the state meet and the impressive individual accomplishments at the section championships, the LCC girls dominated the regular season. “We always have some very high expectations, but to see the girls go undefeated and win league, was fantastic,” Sisler said. “The girls really put out some good efforts when they needed to … they really put it on the line and made it happen. “The guys don’t have quite the depth that the girls side has, but we have some tremendous individuals.” Gould, a workhorse who finished in the top six in two individual races and

ninth in the 4x400 relay in addition to keying the sizzling 4x100 quartet at the section meet, will run track at Colorado State next season. “She’s been that way ever since her freshman year. This girl’s got something special,” Sisler said. “She makes those relay teams better — she can really run the turn like nobody else — and that’s why that team went to state. She added a sort of a glue too, with her maturity and care about everyone else on the team.” Gould ran a 57.49 in the 400 meters and a 25.61 in the 200, and teamed with McKenna Brown, Sarah Abramson and freshman Jessica Riedman to take ninth in the 4x400 (4.11.92). “I had high marks that I was hoping for,” Gould said of her individual races. “I was injured all last season, so ending up fourth overall for the 400 and sixth

in the 200, I’m really happy with that.” At the CIF Finals, Gould and her 4x100 relay crew crossed in 21st, posted a time of 49.61 and generally had a ball. “Our main focus at the state meet was having fun. We went in with the idea that we had nothing to lose and just wanted to enjoy ourselves,” Eddington explained. “It was cool for us to be able to run against super good teams and just really exciting to be a part of that.” Notes: La Costa Canyon sent four athletes — including Kyle Brown — to the 2015 state championships. Three other Mavericks had exceptional section-meet performances but came up just short of qualifying for the CIF Finals. Junior Teigen O’Donnell was fourth in the 100 hurdles (15.33 seconds), while freshman Kristin Fahy matched that finish with a 10:51.74 in the 3,2000 and Riedman took fifth in the 800 (2:16.40).

FROM STORMWATER, A6 students distributed comics and the group at La Costa Heights did fundraising for kids dealing with the water problems in Flint, Mich., using that to increase awareness about the pollution in their own storm drains. The other categories of BMPs are simple structural changes (adding spikes to keep birds away and screens to cover the drain) and the more expensive and involved structural changes (switching out the parking lot pavement with bioswales). “Our idea was to put a rock wall (around the drain), but have some pieces of the rock open so the water could go in but not the trash, so the water would be cleaner,” fifth-grader Camilla Rodriguez said of her group’s work on the Ocean Knoll drain in the lunch area. “We worked together as a team to come up with idea.” After hearing student presentations the past two years, the

Encinitas Union School District implemented some of those BMPs, putting screens over some of the drains and even buying a piece of equipment that cleans the lunch area properly. Finally, near the end of the school year, the actual Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is written up and presented. While the students work on their public speaking with presentations to their classmates throughout the year, they also take their presentations to much bigger audiences. More than 100 students from the six schools combined speeches and videos, all made by them, in a presentation to the Encinitas school board on May 31. “After we finished our slides for our BMPs for each group, we would just practice (our presentations) a lot,” said Ocean Knoll sixth-grader Riley Lievers. “I was nervous. (Afterward) it felt like we had done something good.” The presentation earned high praise from EUSD

Superintendent Tim Baird and all five board members. “I just want to say how impressed I am with your knowledge, your work and your commitment to this program,” trustee Marla Strich told the students following the presentation. “Other districts hire consultants to do this kind of thing, but we have our kids do this for us … and they do it well.” In addition to the school board, the students have spoken at local rotary clubs and given presentations to the San Diego County Water Utilities Association, the San Diego County Science Education Conference and the San Diego County Office of Education. With the program having such success in its first three years, Dean and his two other instructors, Kathy Hacker and Camille Sowinski, are looking into bringing SWPPP to all nine EUSD elementary schools next year.

WHAT IS COMPLETE HEALTH DENTISTRY? Complete Health Dentistry combines Oral Health with Medical Health and Wellness to ensure that a dental patient’s whole health is improved as much as possible through proactive dental care. As a Complete Health Dentist, Dr. Mark Galli can have a signiﬁcant impact on the Medical health of his patients through better detection and reversal of warning signs that signal potentially serious systemic conditions. Taking blood pressure, testing for microbial pathology in the gums, and recommending proactive dental treatment are a few of the unique ways that Dr Galli helps reverse disease and preserve a patient’s health. It also saves time and money in the long run because it is likely that less future dentistry will need to be performed. The Surgeon General reports that 80 percent of Americans have some form of periodontal

Dr. Mark T. Galli, D.D.S. has over 20 years of experience providing Complete Health Aesthetic and Family Dentistry for patients in Encinitas, Carlsbad and North County. Dr. Galli graduated from UC San Diego in 1990, UCLA dental school in 1994, and started his private practice in Encinitas in 2001. Dr. Galli’s team utilizes the most advanced technology to make patient visits easier to smile simulations and even digital crown design and fabrication. Some of the services they provide include Preventive care, CEREC® OneVisit Porcelain Crowns, Invisalign, Porcelain Veneers, Whitening, Fillings, Gum/Periodontal treatment, Digital Custom Smile Design, Sedation Dentistry, and more.

(gum) inflammation. Research has linked periodontal inflammation with conditions such as heart disease and high blood pressure. Gum inflammation can increase your risk for diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis and low birth weight or premature births. “Many people are at risk for systemic disease because of the condition of their mouth,” says Dr. Galli. “And for those who don’t see their dentist regularly, or are having trouble keeping their gums healthy, the risks are cumulative.” “We want to make sure patients understand how important the health of the mouth is, as it is the gateway to the rest of the body. Chronic inflammation is the root of many diseases that can be improved if that inflammation is healed. The surface area of the gum tissue in your mouth is about the same size as the palm of your hand. Now imagine if you had a wound the size of the palm of your hand on your body. This would allow bacteria to enter your bloodstream and would create chronic inflammation not only in the area of the wound, but all the other systems of the body where the bacteria can reach. This compromises your immune system and its ability to fight illness all over your body.” Through accurate screening and personalized treatment recommendations, effort is directed towards the total health of the patient (as opposed to just the teeth). In turn, the Dentist can work more closely with the Physician to achieve more optimal Dental and Medical health for the patient. Complete Health Dentists are helping to screen and identify risk factors in everyday dental patients from the very beginning of the appointment by doing something as simple as blood pressure and periodontal screening. Blood pressure is a very important and often overlooked baseline indicator of a patient’s overall health. Other procedures that identify disease and risk factors are the screening for head and neck cancer, a thorough exam of the teeth and intraoral structures, and digital x-rays. By looking thoroughly at all the associated structures if the mouth, the Complete Health Dentist can identify dental and health issues early, often before they get potentially serious. Dr. Galli and his team take great pride in helping their patients achieve optimal health thru regular dental visits and proactive care.

The SRTS spending finds $305,000 going for improvements in the Cardiff School District, with Paul Ecke Central Elementary School and San Dieguito Union High School District receiving $300,000 each. Cardiff officials and parents — several of whom, including Cardiff School principal Julie Parker, spoke in public comment at the meeting — will see new sidewalks constructed, other pedestrian enhancements and a new entrance to nearby Encinitas Community Park constructed. The park entrance will open up a key thoroughfare between Cardiff School and Ada Harris, which the speakers said is a route countless families can use to drop their kids off at the two schools. Paul Ecke had an even larger contingent of speakers, with principal Adriana Chavarin heading the list. Their pleas to the council to accept the planned expenditure were granted as the school will get a queuing lane, a parking lane, a new sidewalk, and a retaining wall and a raised median to accommodate those other changes. The San Dieguito Union upgrades will put a sidewalk on the north side of Requeza Street between Westlake and Sunset High, which will not only benefit Sunset, but also enhance the route for students headed to nearby San Diegiuto Academy and Ocean Knoll Elementary. The San Diegiuto Union improvements also include a crosswalk and bulb-out to be installed at the corner of Nardo Road and Requeza Street. Ocean Knoll had more requests, outlined in a detailed presentation from Steve Gerkin during public comment, and 9-year-old Simon Bye even spoke on behalf of Capri Elementary. Encinitas Director of Public Works Glenn Pruim said those two schools’ requests were part of a flood that the city received after the initial round of inquiry had passed. “The process was that we first went to the superintendents and we charged the superintendents to work with their schools and their parents,” Brust added. “The projects that we are representing to (the council), are the ones that we received from the superintendents. “What we can do is share these additional projects with the superintendents and let them weigh-in for future (funding).” There is hope for those schools, however, as Pruim and City Finance Director Tim Nash said that the budget recommendation includes $200,000 which has been held back for “projects that come up.”

FROM FLOODING, A1 page and committed to making progress in the Leucadia area.” “My bottom line is we need to ask what can we do and we need to devote some resources to it,” said City Councilwoman Catherine Blakespear. For residents such as Cash Manning, who has lived for 20 years in a 1920s-era home at the corner of Hymettus and Fulvia, the action can’t come soon enough. Several times a year, he said, throughout the time he has lived at the property, the street adjacent to his house has flooded, causing stormwater to pool more than a foot deep on his property. The constant flooding, he said, has damaged his home’s heating system and foundation. Manning contends that a contributing factor to the flooding problem, along with a lack of storm drains, is new development, such as the nine-home project diagonally across from his property that the council approved last month on a 4-1 vote over the objections of neighbors. “I’m not against development,” he said, but, “You’ve got to have the infrastructure (in order) to build.” Manning and his neighbors argued last month that the new project would exacerbate the flooding, because the building of homes, patios and driveways would cause the land to absorb less water, sending more onto the flooded street. But the developer and hydrology experts, as well as city planning officials, contend that new stormwater management measures, such as retention basins and permeable paving materials,

FROM ALCOHOL, A4 “We are not interested in serving a bar full of drunks,” he said. He urged the commission to reconsider its recommendation that the group seek a private club liquor license, saying that could cost upward of $13,000. There’s no sign on the building, so even if the broader license is granted, the general public probably won’t be wandering in to buy drinks,

will actually prevent runoff from leaving the property, thus improving the flooding situation. Leucadia’s flooding woes can be traced to a perfect storm of factors, such as lack of an adequate storm drain system and “funky topography” whose undulations create low-lying, flood-prone areas, said Encinitas Public Works Director Glenn Pruim. For a number of years, the city’s long-range capital improvement budget included a proposed $90 million comprehensive project to upgrade Leucadia’s drainage system, said Gaspard. The price tag, almost as much as the city’s annual operating budget, was overwhelming, and the proposal never moved forward. Last year, the council instead decided to focus on smaller, incremental projects designed to improve Leucadia’s flooding situation, Gaspard said. Blakespear agreed. “We need to look at what we can do, rather than have an attitude of we can’t do anything.” To that end, the proposed city budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1 includes a number of projects to address flooding and drainage issues in Leucadia, said Pruim. They include $350,000 for a study of drainage improvements along Vulcan Avenue in South Leucadia; a long-term plan for streetscape improvements along the Coast Highway corridor that will capture stormwater and let it percolate into the ground; and $100,000 for a separate study of stormwater management at Leucadia Roadside Park, which could include capture of stormwater for use in landscape irrigation.

McDermott said. Commissioners said, however, that once the license and permits are granted, the place could morph into something else and there’s already 10 beer- and wine-serving restaurants in the area, plus a winery and a “cash and carry-out” place. The county Sheriff’s Department has requested that the permit request be denied because of concerns about the high rate of

FROM THEATRE, A11 said. (A potential partnership with the center’s owner also had its complications.) “It was never unpleasant, and we never had anything fall apart. It seemed what happened was just the realities of the cost, and their fund-raising abilities. “But we would love to have them in our city. I was really enthusiastic about it, and I hope it does still come to fruition.” Yael-Cox, too, remains hopeful: “I think there are ways for this city to find a way to get it done, if they really want to get it done.” Hearing the music Meanwhile, Intrepid’s mission continues: The company is planning to announce its next season later in June. Although Intrepid collaborates with a wide range of local theater artists, a common denominator of some of its most successful shows is the identity of their director: Yael-Cox herself. She directed both “The Quality of Life” and “All My Sons,” as well as this year’s revelatory “Virginia Woolf,” which starred another married couple — Robert and Deborah Gilmour Smyth, principals at Lamb’s Players. There’s a certain truth and authenticity that’s hard to put one’s finger on but has come to feel radiantly clear in shows staged by Yael-Cox, who

In addition, said Pruim, a $275,000 line item would cover the construction of dry wells at a number of flooding “hot spots” around Leucadia, a list that includes the flood-prone intersection of Hymettus and Fulvia. The dry wells are holes drilled into the ground and filled with rocks, which fill with stormwater, which then leaches into the ground. Although a dry well currently exists at Hymettus and Fulvia, silt carried by stormwater has clogged the spaces between the rocks, reducing its effectiveness in capturing runoff. The $275,000 would also cover installation of a drainpipe under the railroad tracks north of Leucadia Boulevard, alleviating flooding on the east side of the tracks that spills over onto Vulcan Avenue. In the meantime, the city takes such measures as sending out pumper trucks after rainstorms to remove stormwater from flooded streets and intersections. During upcoming budget deliberations, the council will consider the Leucadia flood control projects, including any adjustments to the proposals. Manning blames a combination of development and lack of infrastructure for much of the flooding problem, in particular a state law — called density bonus — that allows developers to build more residential units than allowed under city zoning if at least one unit is set aside for low-income occupants. “You see stuff they’re building and you say, what are they thinking, where’s the water going to go?” he said.

alcohol-related crimes in the area, they added. McDermott and an attorney for the club both said the Sheriff’s denial request was a common occurrence in San Diego County, but commissioners said this hasn’t been the case in Encinitas. Boerner Horvath, who was appointed to the commission last June, said she had reviewed many alcohol permit requests since she joined the commission, but this was the

began acting in Shakespeare as a child in Toronto but had not directed until Intrepid’s 2010 production of “King John.” She talks of how that comes from embracing a collaborative spirit with her cast. “I’ll just sit there, ask them a million questions — about the story but also about the words. I trust language, so I know that the story is in the words. You go back to the words. Because that’s all we have — that’s the heart of what we have in this form of storytelling.” Kathy Brombacher, the founding artistic director of Moonlight Stage Productions in Vista and a former Intrepid board member, is among admirers of her approach. “I love the brilliant way that Christy interprets the text,” says Brombacher, who also praises the acting of Yael-Cox (a Rancho Bernardo High grad) in such works as “Hamlet.” “Christy has an amazing ear for excising anything that isn’t truthful, and really coming from understanding and a human point of view. People are really excited to work with her because of that.” There’s another level to Yael-Cox’s relationship to dramatic text, though, and it’s one she hesitates to talk about because it feels so personal. But it also has come into more clear focus thanks to the couple’s young son, who is on the autism spectrum.

first one that was opposed by the Sheriff’s Department. In its request to deny the permits, the Sheriff’s Department noted that in 2015 it had 715 calls for service within a one-third mile of the club and 71 of them could be directly attributed to alcohol use, including 39 public intoxication cases. Henry is a freelance writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune in Encinitas.

“I think one of the great insights and joys for me about having a child on the spectrum is looking at myself in relation to my child, who has auditory processing (issues). And being able to identify my own auditory-processing things that I think I’ve had my whole life. “This is a funny thing to talk about, but for me, I hear the words like music. The way my son hears loud noise, sometimes, like music. “I hear language musically, so I can hear when the notes are wrong. I know when the notes are wrong. I can tell that it’s wrong, but I don’t know why. “I started in theater at such a young age working on Shakespeare, so that was probably part of why I liked it so much. If you play the ‘notes’ right in Shakespeare, then it magically comes to life and makes sense — this strange language. “If you don’t play the notes right, it turns into gobbledygook, and nobody understands what you’re talking about. “I think that’s why I fell in love with theater so much, is because I could hear it. I could hear the music of it. And that was really exciting.” That singular talent for finding the song in dialogue promises to continue wherever Intrepid calls home. And San Diego theater audiences will be listening closely for what comes next. James Hebert is The San Diego Union-Tribune’s theater critic.

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - JUNE 10, 2016 - PAGE A23

EACEA and EHS receive first funding from SD County Supervisors to improve Pacific View School The Encinitas Arts Culture and Ecology Alliance (EACEA), in partnership with the Encinitas Historical Society (EHS), was recently awarded a $25,000 grant from San Diego County to be used for basic repairs and renovation of Pacific View School in downtown Encinitas. Under SD County’s Neighborhood Re-Investment Program, nonprofits such as EACEA and EHS can receive funds for “for one-time community, social, environmental, educational, cultural or recreational needs.” In the letter of award received from Supervisor Dave Roberts’ office on May 10 the entire San Diego Board of Supervisors awarded EACEA’s fiscal sponsor, the Encinitas Historical Society, an initial grant to be used for specific Pacific View School improvement projects under a recently signed Right Of Entry (ROE) agreement between EACEA and the city of Encinitas. “I am excited by the Encinitas Historical Society’s budding partnership with the Encinitas Arts, Culture and Ecology Alliance,” said Roberts. “Headquartered in The 1883 Schoolhouse, the historical society is a great resource that brings our local lore to life. As the arts alliance develops its site into a world-class center, I look forward to a unique collaboration with the historical society that engages visitors and gives history, the arts and our environment the appreciation they deserve.”

HOME OF HOME OFTHE THEWEEK WEEK

Under the agreement which received a unanimous vote from Encinitas City Council on Feb. 24, EACEA has the right to enter Pacific View to perform basic repairs and maintenance to keep the 63-year-old school from falling into further disrepair. Some NRP-approved projects include a new steel gate for the PVS main entrance at Third and E, window repairs and inclusionary fencing for the EHS’ historic 1883 Schoolhouse. Funding should be in place by August and EACEA and EHS will have 12 months in which to perform the work. Garth Murphy, president of EACEA and Carolyn Cope, president of the Encinitas Historical Society, expressed their gratitude in a joint statement: “We wish to thank the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and Dave Roberts, our County Supervisor, for having the confidence in our alliance and mission to award us this first major grant toward the rehabilitation of the new Pacific View Academy of Arts. Their $25,000 grant is the auspicious first step of funding we will require in order to bring this ambitious project to full fruition. We extend our gratitude to all those who lent their support along the way, and the Encinitas City Council whose foresight in acquiring the property, and taking us under their wing, laid the foundation for this new arts and sustainability education center.” Visit www.savepacificview.org; www.encinitashistoricalsociety.org.
