Storybook season for San Dieguito Academy tennis 20-year veteran Tomasi wins coach of the year after boys take section title

BY CHRIS SAUR If a screenwriter pitched the story of San Dieguito Academy coach Joe Tomasi’s 2015-16 tennis season to a movie studio in Hollywood, it might get rejected for being too similar to some of the classic sports movies. On second thought, unoriginal doesn’t seem to bother modern movie studios. Somebody call Kevin Costner!

Council chooses housing plan, now it’s up to Encinitas voters BY CHRIS SAUR With no choice but to adopt a city Housing Element Update — not only to stay within state law mandated by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), but also to live up to the terms of a 2015 lawsuit settlement with the Building Industry Association — the Encinitas City Council on June 15 voted unanimously to adopt two resolutions and a related ordinance to go forward with a plan recommended by the planning commission and city staff. Residents of Encinitas, however, will have a choice as the final direction from the city council was for staff to prepare to place the Housing Element Update on the Nov. 8 ballot, in accordance with Prop A, the “Encinitas Right To Vote Amendment,” which passed narrowly in 2013.

The success continued this spring as the SDA boys squad, seeded fourth, won four straight playoff matches to take the SDS Division II title. For that performance, the Mustangs’ first team championship since 1993, Tomasi was named the section’s Coach of the Year. “The kids just got on a roll and couldn’t do anything wrong that whole week,” Tomasi said SEE TENNIS, A18

District receives results from community Scripps invests $53.5M on school improvement bond measure into community benefit 74 percent of voters surveyed by telephone would support a measure Cardiff School District, a small, two-school district, received results from its community outreach efforts to gauge the support on proceeding with placing a school improvement bond measure on the November ballot for major capital improvements to its facilities, according to a press release. The public meeting of the Board of Trustees took place Thursday evening, June 9. Having 7,110 registered voters in the district, the board felt that it was important to obtain feedback regarding the major capital improvements needed at the schools before embarking on the school improvement measure. The board

sought input from an expansive group of residents using a variety of different methods including, telephone polling of the registered voters in the district, surveying currently enrolled district families, community meetings from a diverse facilities focus group, and listening to public comments from residents at board meetings. Overall, results indicate that the Cardiff-by-the-Sea community would support a school improvement measure for major capital improvements. “We are very pleased with the high level of community participation in the polling, surveys and public comment

opportunities regarding the future of our students’ education,” said Mark Whitehouse, president of the Cardiff School District Board of Trustees. “Built over 100 years ago, Cardiff School was once a model in California for its facilities and excellent learning environment. The board wants to ensure the community is continuing to give our students the highest quality learning environments available and appreciates the support and feedback to proceed with doing so.” Polling Results Voter polling data revealed that 79 SEE BOND, A17

Unplanned opening on the planning commission BY CHRIS SAUR New Encinitas needs a new voice on the city’s Planning Commission as Ruben Flores, a commissioner since 2014, has stepped down for personal reasons. According to Encinitas Deputy Mayor Lisa Shaffer, Flores felt he could not continue due to a demanding new job. He was named the director of commercialization for UC San Diego’s Office of Innovation and Commercialization in March. Fellow planning commissioner Tasha Boerner Horvath, who represents Old

Encinitas, is sorry to see Ruben go, but says this is an great opportunity for someone from New Encinitas to step up and make a difference. “Ruben has been a role model to me because of his Ruben intelligence and sound Flores judgement,” Boerner Horvath told the Encinitas Advocate. “Getting somebody like Ruben will be really hard. It’s important, especially for New

Encinitas, to have a planning commissioner who really understands the area. “Ruben was a strong champion for community character.” The unscheduled vacancy leaves the city looking for an applicant who lives in New Encinitas to fill the reminder of the term, which ends in March 2017. Applications are due by June 30. Members of the Encinitas Planning Commission meet on the first and third Thursday of each month to make final SEE PLANNING , A17

services in North County

Scripps Health, through Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas, invested $53.5 million into community benefit programs and services in coastal North County during fiscal year 2015. The nonprofit health system recently released its 2016 Community Benefit Report detailing its community benefit activities for fiscal year 2015 (October 2014 through September 2015). Across San Diego County, Scripps invested $353.6 million into community benefit programs. A copy of the report is available online at www.scripps.org/communitybenefit. Scripps cares for some of the most vulnerable people in San Diego County, often at low to no cost to them. While the largest portion of its community benefit efforts in coastal North County went toward uncompensated care, Scripps also invested in training for new physicians, health screenings, health education, support groups, blood drives and other important community needs through Scripps Encinitas. “Our commitment to the San Diego community continues as strong as ever with thousands of employees, physicians and volunteers working together to meet our patients’ needs,” said Chris Van Gorder, Scripps president and CEO. “Scripps is proud to continue our legacy of making a vital and measurable difference in the communities that we serve.” Meeting community needs in North County, Scripps divides community benefit services into three categories: uncompensated health care, community health improvement services and professional education and health research.

Encinitas moves toward regulating drones

Miller selected as SDUHSD Associate Superintendent of Administrative Services

Panel says incidents at beaches raise public safety concerns BY BARBARA HENRY Encinitas is considering regulating the use of drones in public places, saying the devices have become a safety problem, particularly at Moonlight Beach. The city’s Traffic and Public Safety Commission voted Monday, June 13 to recommend the City Council draft a law governing the use of drones — a task that will be challenging because federal regulations restrict states and cities from setting limits on the use of the nation’s airspace. The panel’s chairman, Brian Grover, said the city can’t let the safety problems go unchecked. “I think an ordinance is definitely needed,” he said. The purchase and use of unmanned, motorized aircraft systems — commonly called drones — has exploded in recent years, and that’s only expected to increase in the coming decade. The Federal Aviation Administration estimates that commercial operators and

hobbyists will buy 2.5 million drones this year and by 2020 that figure is likely to grow to 7 million, a new city staff report notes. As the number of drones flying the nation’s skies has climbed, so have the conflicts between drone users and people who don’t like the objects flying near them. In Encinitas last summer, a beach-goer was arrested on felony vandalism charges after he tossed a T-shirt over an uninvited drone as it hovered over his beach party. The charges were later dropped, but the T-shirt thrower — Carlsbad resident Augustine Lehecka — became a bit of a folk hero to people who have had their own conflicts with drones and feel their privacy has been invaded by the low-flying devices, which often contain cameras. Lehecka is not the only person who has had issues with drones at Encinitas beaches, said Larry Giles, captain of the Encinitas Lifeguard Department. There have been several other recent

incidents, including a two-day dispute between surfers and drone operators at Swami’s beach, he said. Noting that the beach corridor is regularly transited by aircraft, particularly military helicopters, Giles said he worries about a mid-air collision happening between a drone and a helicopter above the sands of Moonlight Beach. Encinitas already regulates the use of hot air balloons and gliders, and drone use should be added to that list, he said. City traffic engineer Rob Blough said crafting regulations won’t be an easy task and will require extensive legal advice from the city attorney. The Federal Aviation Administration has the authority to regulate airspace and is now crafting nationwide regulations on drone use, Blough noted. Ultimately, the rules the FAA sets will supersede anything that cities and states decide to do, but the SEE DRONES, A9

Kennady Tracy is Encinitas Youth of the Year Accomplished singer/songwriter is just 15 years old

BY CHRIS SAUR When Kennady Tracy, a 15-year-old singer/songwriter from Encinitas, received her Encinitas Youth of the Year award from Mayor Kristin Gaspar at the June 8 city council meeting, it wasn’t her first time on stage with a powerful politician. Nearly two years ago, at the tender age of 13, Tracy spoke and performed at The Grammy Museum’s Jane Ortner Education Award Luncheon, where she shared the stage with the event’s keynote speaker, First Lady Michelle Obama. “That was really cool to be on the same stage as her and watch her speak, it was just super,” Tracy told The Encinitas Advocate. “I do a lot of programs up in L.A. at The Grammy Museum … it’s just a really good environment. They do

all sorts of really cool events and programs for songwriters, musicians and producers.” It wasn’t luck that made Tracy one of the four students picked to perform at that event, the soon-to-be junior at San Dieguito Academy is an extremely accomplished musician. Driven by her love for performance and need to write constantly, Tracy has been penning songs for most of her life in addition to playing guitar and singing. Her first EP “Collection” dropped in the summer of 2014. “I was always writing songs, just because … (even) when I was like 5 years old,” Tracy said. “I’m always writing something, that’s my favorite part of all of this. I started playing open mics when I was in sixth grade, like 11 years old. I played my first set at my

elementary school.” Once Tracy got a taste of performing, she was hooked and hasn’t looked back since. Recently, she has opened for artists such as Janelle Monae, Mix Master Mike and Switchfoot, and performed at venues from Seattle to L.A. to Lestat’s in downtown San Diego. “You do it once and then you just want to keep going,” Tracy said, her face lighting up at the thought of being on stage. “When I have friends who are starting to get into performing, I always tell them, if you do it the first time, you’re going to get hooked on it. And it’s worked with every single person I’ve seen perform for the first time.” Entrenched in the local music scene, Tracy hosts a weekly open mic night at The Studio Encinitas and says she loves performing at

Encinitas recognizes four special residents Four local residents were honored as Youth, Senior and Parks and Recreation Volunteer of the Year at the June 8 Encinitas City Council meeting. The Senior Commission awarded Cecilia Matsko the Service to Seniors award for her dedication to volunteer work at the Encinitas Senior Center. The Nominators say Matsko is an exemplary volunteer, who always puts the needs of others before herself and has a constant smile on her face. Senior Center patron Maria Lewis describes Matsko as “a lovely, dear person with a sweet smile. I enjoy coming to the lunch program and being served by her.” The Senior Commission also awarded Carolyn Cope Senior Citizen of the Year honors. Cope epitomizes a senior resident giving back to her community, nominators say, through her dedicated work on many volunteer causes and countless civic and public affairs. She is president of the Encinitas Historical Society and teaches children’s groups about the history of Encinitas.

John Rodrigue was named Outstanding Parks and Recreation Volunteer of the Year. In the last year, nobody has demonstrated significant leadership and commitment to enhancing and supporting parks and recreation experiences in Encinitas like Rodrigue, according to nominators, who added that many who know Rodrigue attest to the impact that he has made on the youth he has coached and mentored at the Encinitas Community Center through the teaching of basketball. The Youth Commission selected 15-year-old Kennady Tracy as Encinitas’ Youth of the Year award recipient based on her dedication to empowering youth and teens in her community. For more on Kennady, see the accompanying article on this page. In early 2017, the three city commissions will once again be soliciting nominations for these award categories for great work accomplished in 2016. Only Encinitas residents are eligible for the awards program. For more information, go to www.encinitasca.gov and contact the staff liaison listed for each commission.

teachers that they have witnessed or observed. The rigorous balloting process ends with hundreds of nominations. We love and appreciate our teachers who do so much for our youth and this is a small way to say thank you.” This year’s recipients include: Cindi Schildhouse of La Costa Canyon High School, John West of San Dieguito High School Academy, Abby Brown of Torrey Pines High School, Anne Whattoff of Canyon Crest Academy, Angela Halpin of Carmel Valley Middle School, Jason Moldovan of Diegueño Middle School, Diane Dekker of Earl Warren Middle School, William Reynolds of Oak Crest Middle School, Kaitlin Hildebrand of Pacific Trails Middle School, and Danika Severino of R.

LC Canyon’s Moniak is No. 1 MLB draft pick Former Encinitas National Little Leaguer selected by Phillies

BY JOHN MAFFEI Mickey Moniak isn’t big on astrology. But his horoscope in a Thursday, June 9 paper couldn’t have been more right. “Your focus is on achieving a longtime goal,” it read. “Certain friends are well aware that you are on the verge of hitting a home run. Follow-through is imperative. . . . Tonight onward to the next step.” Hours after the paper hit the family driveway on June 9, Moniak was chosen by the Philadelphia Phillies as the first player taken in the Major League Baseball Draft. The 18-year-old La Costa Canyon High School standout is the fifth San Diego County player to go No. 1 overall. And he’s just the sixth high school outfielder since 1980 to be taken with the first pick. “Every kid dreams of playing in the big leagues, but to go No. 1 overall is insane,” said Moniak, who played some of his earliest baseball in Encinitas National Little League. “To

share this with my family and friends is awesome.” More than 100 family members and friends gathered at the home of Bill and Julie Gage, Mickey’s uncle and aunt. By Mickey’s side when the Phillies called his name was cousin Tanner Gage, who was paralyzed from the waist down after a fall from a Santa Barbara cliff in 2014. “It was important to me to have Tanner with me,” Moniak said. The Phillies loved Moniak’s baseball tools, his .476 batting average as a senior at La Costa Canyon, his seven home runs, San Diego Section-record 12 triples and his gap-to-gap defense in center field. “When you pick No. 1, you pick human beings as well as players,” said Phillies General Manager Matt Klentak. “You have to look at the player’s makeup. Mickey’s makeup is off the charts.” Still, the Phillies and Bill Moniak, Mickey’s father, were talking on the phone up until five minutes before the start of the draft. “We knew the Colorado Rockies would take Mickey with the fourth pick if he was still there,” Bill Moniak said. “So we had that comfort zone. “The Phillies, obviously, were very interested. We agreed on a deal, and that was it.” MLB’s predetermined slot for the

Brother Collin, 16, right, mother Heather, and sister Jordan, 10, touch La Costa Canyon baseball player Mickey Moniak, 18, after it was announced that the Philadelphia Phillies selected Moniak as the No. 1 overall pick in the MLB draft Thursday. No. 1 overall pick’s signing bonus is about $9 million, though Moniak’s figure is believed to be closer to $7 million. Moniak, a 6-foot-2, 190-pounder who bats left and throws right, said he didn’t know the Phillies were taking him until the last minute. “I was sitting in a chair, waiting to go on TV,” Moniak said. “I got a hug and a wink from my dad. I knew then it was the Phillies.” Members of the Phillies front office saw Moniak on numerous occasions this spring. At most of his games, there were

dozens of pro scouts watching. And he performed, earning San Diego Section Player of the Year honors as well as Gatorade National Player of the Year. Moniak also performed well for Team USA in Colombia, Japan and Taiwan. “I thrive on the big stage,” he said. “Pressure gives me extra incentive. I’ve always been able to perform under pressure.” Matt Moniak played at San Diego State. Bill Moniak, Mickey’s grandfather, played six years in the Boston Red Sox organization, where his hitting coach was the legendary

Ted Williams, a Hoover High product. “My dad and grandpa had a big influence on my approach at the plate,” Mickey said. “Things like what pitch to look for on certain counts. They’ve always been there for me.” Graduation ceremonies at La Costa Canyon High were June 10. “That makes for a pretty eventful couple of days,” Mickey said. “I want to get signed and get started on a pro career as soon as possible. “I can’t wait to get going.” (For the record, Moniak is a Taurus.) — John Maffei is a writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune

Canyon Crest Academy student modernizes play for film festival “Lady Windermere’$ FAM” puts a new spin on Oscar Wilde’s original BY CHRIS SAUR When his play “Lady Windermere’$ FAM” premieres at the San Diego International Fringe Festival this month, it will be another notch on Phillip Magin’s already impressive résumé. The 17-year-old, who just finished his junior year at Canyon Crest Academy, has been acting since he was 9 and recently won a National Youth Arts Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Grumio in the CCA performance of “Taming of the Shrew.” Throw in co-host for the news show on CCATV, presenter for TEDx Youth San Diego, Leadership Council Member for Teen Volunteers in Action, performing as Prospero in “The Tempest” at the Old Globe Theatre and winning awards for his performances in the Student Shakespeare Festival in Balboa Park, and one starts to get the idea about this talented young man. There’s the short film (Zeke Zeppelin) Magin produced and directed at age 15, which was accepted into the All-American High School Film Festival, and another short film that won an Audience Choice Award at CCA’s Mini Cine Festival. In fact, “Lady Windermere’$ FAM” comes to the Fringe Festival six years after Magin’s first written play was produced, that came at the North Coast Repertory Theatre at age 11. But acting has always been his main priority. “When I was little, I was always into performing or using my imagination to write,” Magin said. “When I was in third grade at Solana Vista Elementary, I auditioned for the ‘Emperor’s New Clothes.’ I remember I worked really hard and it was down to me and one other guy for the Emperor, and I got it. I was really excited and I remember thinking, I really want to do acting.” Magin has come a long way from there, and the Fringe Festival is a great fit for his current project: “What I love

In the 2015 Fringe Festival, Magin acted in a play called “My Mother is In the Audience,” which was written by Surovsky and was one of the highest grossing plays at the event that year.

In addition to writing, directing and producing “Lady Windermere’$ FAM,” Magin is also acting in Surovsky’s “Hateful Hands” during this year’s festival, which runs from June 23-July 3. Magin said he gets a lot of the humor he puts into his plays from his family. Dad John works for Decision Sciences in Poway, mom Alexandra does marketing at a health products company and 15-year-old brother Logan plays lacrosse and runs cross country. That inspiration extends to immediate family, as the inspiration for “Lady Windermere’$ FAM” started with a gift from Phillip’s aunt. “My aunt gave me this copy of the complete plays of Oscar Wilde. It was winter break, I finally decided to open it up, and the first play I read was called ‘Lady Windermere’s Fan,’” Magin said. “It’s a classic play from the 1800s. I thought the plot was really interesting and some of the quotes were funny, but mostly it’s just so long and boring and there’s all of these monologues. “I love Shakespeare and I think his plays are much more relevant than Oscar Wilde’s are today. It got me thinking, someone should really try to adapt these plays for a younger audience.” And “Lady Windermere’$ FAM” was the result of that thinking. Set in modern day London, the story centers on a 30-something director who is tasked with putting on a performance of “Lady Windermere’s Fan.” However, the director is disillusioned with the art form so he decides to rewrite Oscar Wilde’s play for younger audiences. Things get complicated when the director, Barry, has to deal with his drug-addicted artistic associate, an affair with the actress playing Lady Windermere and a group of temperamental actors, including eccentrics Walter and Rosalie. Eventually, Barry asks a 10-year old — played by 12-year-old Mo Hetzer — to write his play and the youngster SEE FILM, A19

The Encinitas Relay For Life will take place at the San Dieguito Academy High School Track on Aug. 6, beginning at 10 a.m. and ending on Aug.7 at 8 a.m. Event organizers are seeking volunteers, sponsors and teams to participate. An American Cancer Society fundraiser, Relay for Life celebrates the lives of people who have battled cancer, remembers loved ones lost and fights back against the disease. Each year, more than four million people in over 20 countries take part in the Relay for Life to raise much-needed funds and create awareness to save lives from cancer. “We often get people asking us if it’s a run, but you do not have to run. It’s more of a

community fair that’s based around cancer awareness and fundraising,” said Nick Johnston, event organizer. “We are encouraging participants to sign up on the website and fundraise, but people are welcome to join us on the day of the event, as an individual or part of a team, without signing up prior to the event.” The Encinitas Relay for Life is in need of sponsors. Sponsorships are available in a tiered system where the level of advertising is based on the donation amount. The deadline for sponsorships is July 1. Businesses can contact Johnston for information at NickRelay4Life@gmail.com. SEE RELAY, A9

Pillars of Hope Tennis Smash to benefit children with life-threatening illnesses

The Mitchell Thorp Foundation and San Diego Aviators of World Team Tennis have partnered up to present the Pillars of Hope Tennis Smash at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa on Sunday, July 31. This smashing event will feature top-ranked professional tennis players in the world such as James Blake, Shelby Rogers and more, all coming together for a great cause. Proceeds from the dinner, tennis play and silent and live auctions will benefit the Mitchell Thorp Foundation (MTF), a public 501c3 organization that was founded in 2009 by Brad and Beth Thorp in honor of their teenage son, Mitchell, who died of an undiagnosed illness in 2008. The Foundation’s mission is to help families in the region, who have children suffering from life-threatening illnesses, diseases and disorders, by providing financial, emotional support and resources to their desperate situations. In addition, the “Pillars of Hope” award will be given out that evening which honors top doctors, educators, therapists and practitioners. These individuals are pillars of strength in the community, immensely supportive, and these honorees continue to go above and beyond the call of duty in caring for their patients and educating the public on health and wellness. Beth Thorp talked about the programs: “MTF has four programs that have given families relief from their desperate situations. Ninety cents to every dollar goes to these

FROM DRONES, A3 federal regulations aren’t forecast to be approved any time soon, he said. One recent success story was the city of Poway, which banned the launching, operating or landing a drone when a state of emergency has been declared in the city, Blough said. Poway sought that restriction because of concerns about the potential for collisions between drones and water-dropping aircraft during wildfires. After the Moonlight Beach T-shirt-throwing incident, drone opponents encouraged Encinitas city officials to draw up regulations. The council asked the public safety commission to look into the issue earlier

FROM RELAY, A8 Relay For Life is a family-friendly event for the entire community. Teams will camp out overnight and take turns walking or running around the SDA track. It’s a 22-hour long event, and because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have at least one participant on the track at all times. There will be games and activities to provide entertainment and build camaraderie. The fundraiser will also include guest speakers, live entertainment and a special luminary ceremony to honor those who have been affected by cancer. Johnston, a 2016 SDA graduate, began volunteering last year. “We raised around $12,000 last year. We’d like to raise

The commission’s chairman said Monday that he knew first-hand about how aggravating drones can be, saying he’s been at Moonlight Beach when three drones were flying overhead at one time. “I think there’s an obvious public safety issue,” Grover said. However, he and other commissioners said, they’d like the city to a strike balance, rather than seeking a complete ban on drone use. Grover said he’s seen how useful the devices can be for commercial operations, particularly real estate sales, and said they can also can be great fun when capturing surfers riding the local waves.

Solana Center’s Eco Container unveiled at San Diego County Fair The Solana Center introduced its Eco Container on opening day of the San Diego County Fair. The re-purposed shipping container, which has been transformed into a center for environmental innovation featuring solar energy, a greywater demo system, rain barrels, composting, drought-tolerant landscaping and California-friendly gardens, was officially unveiled on June 3 with County Supervisor Dave Roberts cutting the ribbon. Roberts also spoke and Encinitas Deputy Mayor Catherine Blakespear was in attendance. Creaters of the Eco Container, sponsored

by Kashi, say it is designed to educate and inspire visitors about sustainability, and demonstrates how to incorporate energy-saving, water-efficient and eco-friendly practices into our daily lives. The container is set in the fair’s Infield Farm. Fairgoers can see vegetable gardens, watch worms turn food scraps into rich soil amendment, visit a butterfly garden and see a colony of bees in action. In addition, the Center’s interactive booth, sponsored by the city of San Diego’s Environmental Services Department, features free composting demonstrations at 2:30 p.m. on Sundays through the end of June.

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263

Pregnancy and Varicose Veins: Baby Blues and Purple Veins It’s not uncommon to experience varicose veins, but the chances are upped for women who become pregnant. Why is this? Pregnant women produce a lot of extra blood to support the fetus as well as their own growing body. As a result, blood vessels get extra stress and pressure, especially in the legs. The veins of the legs have to push that extra blood back up the leg to the heart—and have to pass through the pelvic blood vessels, which experience tremendous pressure from the expanding uterus. On top of that, by the 30th week of pregnancy, the body has been producing so much extra progesterone that it relaxes the vessels, leading them to do less work. Blood then begins to pool in the veins of the legs, which is what’s happening when you have

varicose veins. But what you also find is pooling of the vessels of the vulva and the rectum, which, because of the side effect of constipation, causes hemorrhoids—which are actually varicose veins. The Good News: Varicose veins are unlikely to put mother or baby at any risk. And women who did not have the varicose veins before pregnancy are likely to see them minimize or even disappear within a few months after they give birth. The Bad News: If a woman has varicose veins during her first pregnancy, she’s almost assured of having them during any subsequent pregnancies. They can be itchy and achy, and while that’s nothing to be alarmed about, pregnant women with varicose veins should monitor these veins in case they become inflamed and make their practitioner aware of them as this can be an indication of a blood clot. While the chances of a clot are remote, safety of mother and baby is the priority. Can Varicose Veins be Prevented? Since they can be hereditary, women whose mothers had varicose veins during pregnancy should be prepared to have them as well. And while there is no surefire way to prevent varicose veins, there are a few steps that can help:

1. Stay active. Walking during pregnancy and other low-level exercises help keep the circulation going and get that blood pumping back up to the heart. 2. Wear support stockings. These help the legs push blood back upward, counteracting the belly weight that wants to keep that blood below waist-level. Pregnant women should put them on when they get out of bed to help blood from pooling in the legs before circulation can get boosted again. That being said, 3. Wear loose clothing. If the body size increases, so should the clothes. Tight clothes, even (especially) underwear, can cinch blood vessels and impede proper circulation. This includes tight socks and shoes and anything around the tops of the legs. And while the body is growing, 4. Watch the weight gain. Women should follow their doctor’s weight gain recommendations, which is usually around 25-35 pounds. An excess of weight increases the strain on the circulatory system, which is already under pressure from the growing baby. 5. Don’t do anything to strain the body. Avoid heavy lifting (even if it wasn’t “heavy” before pregnancy). The no-straining rule should also apply to visits to the

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

restroom, to stave off hemorrhoids. 6. Sleep on the left side. Back sleeping can put the baby’s weight on the vena cava, the large vein that carries blood to the heart from the feet and legs. The left side is preferred to assist in circulation to the heart and to avoid putting pressure on the liver from the fetus. 7. Keep the blood pumping. This becomes harder toward the end of the pregnancy, but it is an important practice for pregnant women. If not walking as much, moms-to-be should do leg lifts and ankle rotations. But it’s also important for them to be able to get off their feet and elevate the legs when sitting, so the blood pumps back to the heart. The key with all of these is to improve circulation while reducing stress on the veins and vessels as much as possible. Can Varicose Veins be Treated During Pregnancy? Sclerotherapy is a treatment that includes injection of a saline solution into the vein. This is a very effective and painless solution—but should not be done during pregnancy. Best to wait until after the birth, and then treatment is as simple as a quick doctor’s ofﬁce visit.

FROM BOND, A2 percent of the district’s registered voters surveyed by telephone believe in the need for more funding and 74 percent would support a measure, if placed on the November 2016 ballot, reported by Jon Isom, president of Isom Advisors, a financial advisory firm to school districts throughout California and currently working with 40-50 California school districts on similar bond measures. With voter support well above the 55 percent threshold needed to win in November, Isom Advisors recommends the board proceed with placing a bond measure on the ballot. Facilities Focus Group Results A Facilities Focus Group, comprised of 31 diverse residents representing local businesses, the community, parents and district staff, met three times to obtain information, discuss and ultimately provide feedback on the facilities needs. At the final meeting the group was asked to rank project priorities. Replacement of the 20-30-year-old portable classrooms, rebuilding the 65-year-old Cardiff classrooms and rebuilding the Cardiff Schools’ multipurpose room to increase safety and occupancy ranked among the highest three priorities, all with over 85 percent of the participants supporting these projects. Lower support was given to repaving the Ada Harris School upper parking lot, retrofitting the Cardiff School campus historic brick building and increasing parking at Cardiff School. In addition, 56 percent of the Facilities Focus Group were in favor of a $22 million bond. Additional feedback from the Facilities Focus Group included strong support for eco-friendly building projects such as installing solar panels to offset energy costs. Parent Survey Results Parents of currently registered students were asked to complete an online survey to rate the current facilities and also rank project priorities. Of the 173 responses received, 94 percent rated the quality of education in Cardiff School District as excellent or good. The Ada Harris facilities ratings were favorable, with 79 percent considering them as excellent or good. Cardiff School facilities ratings were mixed, with 59 percent of the group rating the facilities as adequate to poor. The highest ranking project priorities included the Cardiff School multipurpose room, replacing the portables, and the Cardiff School classrooms. The parent survey indicated that 80 percent would be in favor of a $12 million to $22 million bond. Public Comments Public comment during the public board meetings has been mixed. Comments range from agreement that a bond measure is needed, with various opinions regarding the dollar amount, to others who oppose all bonds and new taxes. Other Considerations In addition to the community input, the board is considering the optimal timing for a school facilities improvement bond measure due to the combined effect of high assessed valuation and historically low interest rates. The upcoming November election is also expected to have high voter turnout and will enable a large percentage of the Cardiff community to weigh in. Timeline Going Forward It is expected that a resolution regarding the school improvement bond measure for major capital improvements will be voted on by the Board at a special board meeting scheduled for June 16 at 5 p.m. at the Cardiff School auditorium. All meetings are open to the public, and community input is encouraged. The deadline to pass and submit a resolution to the County Registrar of Voters for inclusion on the November ballot is Aug. 12. — Submitted press release from the Cardiff School District.

FROM PLANNING, A2 determination on applications such as Coastal Development, Conditional Use Permits, Tentative Tract Map, Zoning Code interpretation, and projects in more than one community planning area. The Commission also makes recommendations to the city council on issues such as General Plan interpretation and amendment, Zoning Code amendment and Zoning Map amendment, among others. Interested citizens, who are registered to vote in the city of Encinitas, can apply online at www.encinitasca.gov. Physical applications may be picked up at the City Clerk’s Office at 505 South Vulcan Ave. or obtained by email by sending a message to khollywood@encinitasca.gov.

OPINION

www.encinitasadvocate.com

Farewell letter from SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt Dear Friends, It is with both a sense of sadness and excitement that I bid farewell to our San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) community to accept the position of Superintendent in San Ramon. As I’m sure many of you are aware, I have worked very hard over the past 13 years to support the students, staff, and parents of the SDUHSD. I could not have succeeded so readily without the support and guidance of my co-workers, Penny Cooper-Francisco, Jill Contway, Bob Croft, Terry King, Lesley Rhodes, Peggy Lynch, Ken Noah, Eric Dill, Mike Grove, Torrie Norton, Joann Schultz, Matt Colwell, and Jason Viloria, for the guidance they extended to me and for the countless hours of support and encouragement that they gave so freely. I was extraordinarily lucky to have such able,

unselfish, and dedicated partners. I would especially like to thank Board of Trustees, Joyce Dalessandro and Beth Hergesheimer for giving me the opportunity to work at such an incredible school district. Ms. Dalessandro and Ms. Hergesheimer were board members when I was first appointed to the SDUHSD Cabinet in 2006. I would also like to thank each of you who took the time to offer me patient support, good will, and wisdom. You, the teachers and staff of the SDUHSD are unquestionably the brightest, most innovative, hardest working professionals with which I have ever worked. Finally, I would like to thank the wonderful students and their parents who shared their thoughts and lives with me, enlightened me and improved me not only as a school leader, but more importantly, as a person.

I feel extremely fortunate to have worked at the SDUHSD during its renaissance of innovation and creativity, while continuing to honor the district’s history and tradition. The past 13 years have been among the happiest and most challenging of my career, even when the work proved challenging. As I move on to a new phase in my life, my memories of the SDHUSD will remain rich and full. I always tried to put students first, listen to parents all while supporting staff and recognizing the positive impact each of you had on our students. Please stay passionate, active, involved, and informed. I’m looking forward to finishing strong right up to my last day on June 30, 2016. With fond memories, Rick Schmitt, SDUHSD, 2003-2016

FROM HOUSING, A1

Most of the tweaks involved adding options to mitigate traffic problems should the voters agree to the plan in November. The Housing Element Update isn’t an actual plan for new development, but merely a change that gives the current owners of property at several sites around Encinitas the right to build/develop — rights they previously didn’t have. This extra availability of sites for housing puts the city in compliance with the HCD’s affordable housing rules. But while about half of the 31 residents speaking during public comment supported the council adopting the resolution, nearly everyone had an opinion on which exact sites should be designated in the plan. The Sustainable Mixed Use alternative eventually chosen by the council — which was agreed upon by almost everyone as the most environmentally-friendly plan — would see 13 sites among the five neighborhoods of Encinitas change property rights (see accompanying graphic on page 1). In Leucadia, a patch of land along Highway 101 just north of Leucadia Blvd., could now see mixed use development, while Old Encinitas sites on Highway 101 south of Encinitas Blvd. and on Encinitas Blvd. between Quail Dr. and Quail Gardens Dr. would be designated. Two sites in New Encinitas are next to each other on Encinitas Blvd. at El Camino Real and another is on El Camino Real just north of the Leo Mullen Sports Park. Olivanhain could see

side-by-side sites on the corner of Encinitas Blvd. and Rancho Santa Fe Rd. Cardiff, which had by far the most residents on hand to speak during public comment, gets designated sites between Encinitas Community Park and Santa Fe Dr., and in the Seaside Market area on the corner of Birmingham Dr. and San Elijo Ave. It is that final site where the council directed city staff to limit development to two stories, in accordance with a previous Cardiff planning initiative. With just that change and the other small tweaks to the EIR resolution, the council adopted the entire Housing Element Update, which was presented as a group of initiatives under the heading: At Home in Encinitas. “You’re seeing two different (resolutions) in front of you, but they are carrying the same measure, which is At Home in Encinitas,” special council Mike Durkee explained to the city council and the audience. “It is a composite measure that will go everywhere from updating the Housing Element and amending the related provisions of the General Plan, to then implementing that into your zoning code, municipal code, design guidelines and local coastal plan.” With the plan for the Housing Element Update selected, city staff will now work to create the exact language for the measure to go on the ballot. On that same Nov. 8 ballot, Encinitas residents will also be voting for Mayor and three open spots on the city council.

teams looked at total games won to break the tie, and Mission Hills had the edge at 74-73. Both Urcelay and his coach recognized it as the moment the SDA season turned around: “We had lost by one game, and after that we all just put our heads down and got serious for the rest of the season,” Urcelay said. “We got together and talked about what we needed to do and how we needed to do it. We all felt it. Once we got on the winning streak, we all thought ‘Wow we can really do it’ and that just pushed us even further.” While the sophomore standout won the team award for most set victories, Urcelay was just one of the five Mustangs to win more than 40 sets in 2016. Doubles player Blake Stoner-Osborne, a junior, won the coaches award for remaining focused and productive all season, despite playing with several different partners as Tomasi searched for the correct combination. In the championships round, the lone Mustang senior, Armen Billmoria, played with Stoner-Osborne. As the team’s older statesman, Billmoria provided leadership all season long.

“(Billmoria) wasn’t the strongest player on the team but he works the hardest out of us and has the most spirit,” Urcelay said. “(As a team) we were always playing seriously and trying to improve ourselves, but were also joking around and having a good time. During practice, on bus rides, in matches, whenever we’re together, we are always just having a great time.” At No. 3 doubles, sophomore Jun Lee and junior Colton Dils combined to give SDA a big punch at the bottom of the lineup. “I don’t think they lost to another No. 3 doubles team all year,” Tomasi said. The Mustangs’ singles crew usually featured the young trio of freshman Jacob Bear, freshman Cruz Martinez and sophomore Cole Bridges, who each got better and better as the season went on. With only one player, the graduated Billmoria, not coming back next year — and the addition of promising incoming freshman Shervin Dehmoubed to fill that spot — the Mustangs’ future is bright. Maybe Hollywood would be interested in a sequel.

“I would love to just keep us the way we are … and say no to high-density housing,” said City Councilwoman Catherine Blakespear, who was teleconferencing in from Tennessee. “But we do live in the real world and … we have to think about the consequences.” After two hours of public comment and anther 90 minutes of deliberation, the five members of the council agreed just before midnight to adopt the Sustainable Mixed Use Places alternative, a plan that came about following more than a year of public outreach and diligent work by city staff. It was chosen from four possible alternatives and, after hearing from several Cardiff-by-the-Sea residents during public comment, the council approved it with slightly altered language to remove the possibility of development beyond two stories at one site in that neighborhood. While the council had hoped to examine each site in each plan, and have the option to remove or add sites, city staff and a pair of lawyers hired as special counselors for this project explained that those changes would likely cause the need for a new Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Performing a new EIR would take too long to get the plan on the Nov. 8 ballot. Adopting the original EIR was the other resolution passed by the council on June 15, although a couple of small changes were made.

FROM TENNIS, A1 of the playoff run. SDA hosted Mater Dei Catholic in the opening round, winning 14-4, then got past visiting Mira Mesa, 15-3. That set up a road match at top-seeded Helix, where the Mustangs prevailed, 12-6. In the championship contest against San Diego High, SDA won the first 11 matches to clinch the title just one hour into the outing. “I didn’t even realize that we had gotten such a big lead. But when we found out, everyone on the team just lost it. It was amazing,” said sophomore Cole Urcelay, who led the Mustangs in wins in 2016, most of them gained as a No. 1 doubles team with junior Kyle Bone. “All of our work and effort and everything we had put in, finally paid off.” Adding to the storybook nature of SDA’s season, was a clear defining moment on April 12. Playing at Mission Hills, a solid opponent but one that ended up behind the Mustangs in the standings, the locals dropped an ultra-close decision. With the sets tied at 9-9, the two

FROM SINGER, A4 music education. “I love working with younger kids on music because I remember — it wasn’t that long ago — when there was an older kid that would be willing to sit with you and help you out, it’s like the coolest thing ever,” Tracy said. “I know how that felt so it’s cool to know I’m giving someone else that feeling.” Though she is a mentor to young children — making enough of a difference to earn the city’s Youth of the Year Award as voted on by the Encinitas Youth Commission — Tracy herself is not even old enough to drive by herself. So how does she get the material for all of her songs, which she says are mostly sad songs about relationships? “For the past five years, I haven’t really written personal songs and a lot of songwriters, that’s all they can do,” Tracy explained. “I’m just super observant, so I write a lot about other people, subconsciously even. All of my musician friends are at least a few years older than me … and I guess I just pick up on (those

experiences).” As young and talented as she is, Tracy isn’t immune to writer’s block. When hitting a wall a couple of weeks ago, Tracy got some words of wisdom from one of her musical heroes, Halsey. During their 20-minute conversation, the 21-year-old sensation, who co-headlined her own tour last year, had some advice that got Tracy back on track. “(I was thinking) I want to start to write songs that are happy, and that play on the radio and people can sing along to, but I just can’t do it,” Tracy said. “And (Halsey) said ‘You just have to write what you want to write and people will find a way to relate to it.’ That was like whoa. And she writes a lot more personally so I was like ‘I think I’m just going to do that, give it a try.’” While Tracy lists Halsey and Ed Sheeran as her biggest musical influences, she also feels inspired daily by her family. Dave Tracy is a stay-at-home dad for Kennady and her 13-year-old brother Keaton, while Pam Tracy is a vice president with Gail & Rice, which produces special events and entertainment around the country. Tracy also has her own website at www.kennadytracy.com.
