Encinitas council approves budget, ballot words

BY CHRIS SAUR After a full house and long public comment periods at its previous two meetings, the Encinitas City Council on June 22 put final touches on two high-profile issues, agreeing on wording for the Housing Element Update ballot question and voting to officially pass the 2016-17 budget.

As Encinitas is on a two-year budget cycle, much of the 2016-17 Operating and Capital Improvement budget was proposed

and discussed last year. On June 8, the council heard public comment, held discussions and instructed staff to make small additions and changes to the budget, creating the final product which they voted 5-0 to adopt on June 22.

With an estimated city revenue of $91.8 million, Encinitas’ operating expenditures are expect to total $79.1 million, while the budget sets aside $26 million for capital improvements.

The biggest piece of that pie is the

$6.7 million portion allocated toward the North Coast Highway 101 Streetscape project. This money will then be ready when the meticulous planning and coordination is completed and construction is ready to begin, hopefully near the end of 2017 or early 2018.

While that expenditure, part of a total $8.1 million designated for the project, remained unchanged, the council did request more money added to the Annual Street Overlay

program. With $3 million already scheduled to be spent on street paving, the council added an additional $780,000 to ensure the city’s goal of increasing Encinitas’ average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) up to 76 or higher.

To reach this mark, any city road with a PCI of 35 or lower will be fixed.

Council member Mark Muir, who pushed for an even higher PCI goal, has been especially vigorous in his SEE BUDGET, A14

BY CHRIS SAUR To the dismay of nearly 75 protestors, who lined the street outside of the Encinitas Union School District office board room before the June 21 meeting, trustees voted to approve a 2016-17 budget that includes more than $400,000 set aside for the Enrichment Teacher Program — which will include at least one day of yoga per week.

BY KAREN BILLING At its June 16 meeting, the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board heard some new ideas to promote overall student wellness as part of the district’s Local Control Accountability Plan. Last week’s meeting was a first review of the 2016-19 plan, which is expected to be adopted at the June 30 meeting.

Under the state’s Local Control Funding Formula, all districts are required to prepare an LCAP which describes how state funding will be used to fulfill its annual goals and priorities for all pupils. The district will receive $1.8 million in supplemental grant funding due to the formula based on numbers of low income, foster youth and English learner pupils.

The district met with parents, students, educators, community members and district staff to develop the vision for the plan. In feedback gathered since the fall, Associate Superintendent Jason Viloria said there has been a real emphasis placed on social and emotional support and student connectedness.

The LCAP outlined the district’s proposal to add a new site social worker role, placed at all of the high school campuses to help support the counselors. They will also add three mental health providers, each of whom will come with two to three interns to assist.

Viloria said the district is working to create a “team effort” where these new positions can work along with the counseling department and an additional school nurse to help students in need. He said staff all feels this model is appropriate.

SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt said as students these days face more pressures, having support at school is something more districts are moving toward.

New associate superintendent has special education focus Muir, Salazar vote against the new contract

BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board was not unanimous in the hiring of its new associate superintendent of administrative services. On June 16, the board voted 3-2 to appoint Mark Miller to replace Jason Viloria, with board members John Salazar and Mo Muir voting against the motion.

SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt said they are lucky to bring such an accomplished administrator to the district, noting Miller is an “incredible find” who will help them work toward the continuing goal of improving special education.

Miller is currently the assistant superintendent of special education services with the Capistrano Unified School District in Orange County. Prior to that, he worked as the director of special education, director of alternative education and high school assistant principal with the Irvine Unified School District.

Miller is actually returning to San Dieguito as he previously spent six years as a special education teacher at La Costa Canyon High School.

“We have a group of parents who are very interested in seeing improvement in special education and I think he’s the person to lead that,” said SDUHSD Associate Superintendent of Business Services Eric Dill, who takes over as the district’s interim superintendent on July 1 when Schmitt leaves.

Salazar’s objection was not to Miller himself but to the timing of the hire, since Superintendent Schmitt will be leaving and a new superintendent might want to hire his own cabinet or might not even see the need for the position, which was added last June.

“Why are we doing this now when we’re on the fast-track to hire a superintendent?” Salazar asked.

Salazar also opposed giving Miller a four-year contract, rather than a one-year contract or interim status.

Schmitt said, as he noted last year when SDUHSD established the associate superintendent of administrative services position, the position change was part of the reorganization of the educational services department and became necessary as the district’s work quadrupled because of the “unprecedented scope and scale” of new education standards. The position provides leadership in areas such as enrollment, special education, program shifts, bell schedules, athletics, summer programs, technology plans and the Local Control Accountability Plan and other state programs.

Muir and Salazar also voted against the establishment of the superintendent of administrative services position last year.

Schmitt said there were discussions about filling the position after Viloria’s departure and SEE MILLER, A18

Volunteers recently worked to expand coastal dunes for endangered species at San Elijo Lagoon.

Volunteers expand coastal dunes for endangered species

BY KRISTINA HOUCK While some San Diegans built sandcastles at the beach this past sunny Saturday, dozens of local volunteers spent hours building “sandcastles” for wildlife. About 40 people helped dig and dump sand June 18 to expand coastal dune habitat for endangered species at San Elijo Lagoon.

“We’re really lucky in where this lagoon is — siting in between two communities that, I think, actually get it,” said Doug Gibson, executive director and principal scientist for San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, the nonprofit land trust for San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve. “For them to give up part of their weekend shows that they don’t just understand what we’re doing, they want to be a part of it.”

The San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy aims to protect and restore the resources of the lagoon, its watershed and related ecosystems for current and future generations. For the past decade, the conservancy has worked to restore natural dunes by removing invasive plants and enhancing the habitat for the avian, reptile and plant species that rely on them.

“The amazing thing is how resilient these

Western Snowy Plover

areas are,” said Gibson, who has been with the conservancy for 20 years.

Ice plants, he said, had covered some of the area for decades. Once the invasive plants were removed, however, native plants began to pop up.

“The seedbank underneath there is viable.

They’re able to hibernate for a long time and remain viable,” Gibson explained.

Located on the east side of Coast Highway 101, between Cardiff-by-the-Sea and Solana Beach, the approximately 6-acre dune site is home to a variety of plant and animal species, including the threatened western snowy plover and endangered California least tern.

The conservancy organized the volunteer event in an effort to expand the coastal dunes, providing nesting and roosting habitat away from the stressors of the surrounding populated beaches. Once the sand is sculpted and seeds are eventually planted, the space would extend the dunes by almost an acre.

“We revised our coastal permits and decided that this was the angle we were going to go,” Gibson said. “Already, to me, this looks amazing.”

COURTESY

Volunteers helped haul and spread sand, 25-pound bucket by bucket, to expand the coastal dune site in the lagoon’s west basin.

The excess sand came from the conservancy’s annual inlet excavation.

Completed last week, the inlet excavation improves tidal flow and coastal water quality.

Approximately 1,800-cubic yards of sand were onsite at the dunes for the event.

Kelly Sawyer and her son, Jack, were among the dozens of volunteers supporting the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy. The mother-son team was volunteering with Teen Volunteers in Action, a nonprofit that develops young males into community leaders through a structured program of volunteerism, philanthropy and personal development.

“It’s good to help your community,” said Jack, an entering ninth grader at Santa Fe Christian Schools.

“And it’s a great organization,” Sawyer said.

Brian Heid and his son, Trevor, were also on hand, getting an early start to their Father’s Day weekend by volunteering with the conservancy. Trevor, an entering ninth grader and football player at La Costa Canyon High , was one of a few members of the school’s football team helping out.

“This was kind of our front yard for many years as a kid,” said Heid, who grew up in Solana Beach.

“I feel like I’m doing a little bit,” he added.

“If I do a little bit more each year and everybody does a little bit more each year, we’ll keep areas like this preserved.”

Although hauling and spreading the sand was tiring, especially on a hot day, Gibson helped encourage the volunteers, explaining the importance of their efforts.

“They’re going to be able to drive by this area 50 years from now and it’s going to be this vibrant, functioning dune habitat that they helped to create,” he said.

“We need to make these connections that when you come out and help our events, these are areas that you can come back and visit over your lifetime and see how it progresses,” he added. “That’s a connection we’re trying to make, and maybe if we make that connection, the actions and the behaviors that people have towards the environment will change as well.”

Fourth of July fire safety tips The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a professional public display, according to the Encinitas Fire Prevention Bureau.

Fireworks, including safe and sane, sparklers and poppers, are dangerous and illegal. In the City of Encinitas, use or possession of fireworks is a misdemeanor and subject to a fine and/or imprisonment.

Sky lanterns also present serious fire and safety hazards. Sky lanterns are airborne paper lanterns with a fuel source that are known to travel significant distances and start fires far from where they were launched.

Encinitas launches interactive Work Program map on city website The city of Encinitas has developed an interactive map of the city’s Work Program projects to simplify and expedite residents’ access to city project information online.

This new application is called Story Map and can be found on the city’s website homepage “In the Spotlight” section or by going to www.encinitasca.gov/workprogram.

The story map serves as a portal for information on any project included within the city of Encinitas Work Program for fiscal years 2015-16 and 2016-17. Residents visiting the story map will be able to search and find any of the 34 current Work Program projects, corresponding visuals and a progress report.

Each project’s progress report will provide

a description of the project, the project goal, what’s been completed for the project so far, key milestones, budget and work that’s planned to be completed in the near future.

The progress reports will be updated quarterly.

“The story maps that staff have created for city projects will enable greater accessibility to information,” said Encinitas City Manager Karen Brust. “Our goal at the city is to make it easier for residents and business owners to know exactly what the status is for each and every city project, which supports our goal of increasing transparency.”

The application is accessible from any web browser and can also be used on smart phones and tablets.

Encinitas resident Aviva Paley is off to Jerusalem next week for the 2016 ROI Global Summit, an exclusive, high-profile gathering of young global innovators taking place June 26-30.

Lux to bring five international artists for 10th season Two of the residents will use materials and ideas from the local area

BY CHRIS SAUR To celebrate its 10th anniversary season beginning in September, Lux Art Institute in Encinitas has announced the five resident artists who will come to Encinitas from all over the globe, but also, in some cases, connect their art to the local area.

Each of the five — Camilo Restrepo (from Colombia), Xawery Wolski (Poland), Siro (Italy), Vibha Galhorta (India) and Jorge Pardo (Cuba) — will be living and working at Lux, as part of the institute’s residency program. Having the artists not only show their work, but also create at least one piece during their stay, provides a special opportunity for visitors who can actually see the art happen.

Current Lux resident artist Angela Kallus, who lives in Fort Worth, Texas, told the Encinitas Advocate that the program is a unique experience.

“For one thing, I don’t work in such a beautiful place at home, it is a mess at my study,” Kallus said with a laugh while she worked on her resident piece. “(Doing the work in front of people) is a new thing for me. It’s actually kind of weird to do this thing that I usually do alone, in a public place. I don’t mind it though.”

She added that the nice residence and the beautiful setting were conducive to making great art.

defend and adorn. His process involves constructing individual beads from clay and stringing them together to create a larger sculpture. He also has a proclivity for travel, and each work is created from the clay of specific countries. Currently, the U.S. is missing from this link, but his residency piece will fill this gap and bind the U.S. to his oeuvre.” In studio: Nov. 12-Dec. 17. On exhibit: Through Jan. 7.

Siro (Italy) CHRIS SAUR

Angela Kallus, the current resident artist at Lux Art Institute, makes flowers for her residency piece while also being available to speak with the public. Behind on the wall is her most recent finished piece.

Kallus’ pieces, which she has been making for 17 years, involve using a pastry decorating bag to create flowers out of different colors of paint. When the flowers harden, she connects them to a flat surface to form sort of a three-dimensional painting.

Kallus will be working on her newest piece at Lux Art Institute until July 9. That work, along with some of her other pieces which are on display now, will be at Lux through July 30.

A few months later, Restrepo will come to Lux from Colombia to kick off next year’s season.

After Restrepo, Wolski, a sculptor, comes to live and work at the institute, where he plans to use local clay to create one of his masterpieces.

Following Siro’s residency, Galhorta is at Lux to create one of her large-scale

sculptures out of ghungaroos-metal ankle bells, a part of traditional India dress. An artist who explores local and global issues with her work, Galhorta will study North County coastal water systems and the sculpture she creates while at the institute, will reflect that research.

For more information, visit www.luxartinstitute.org.

Here’s a brief guide to each of next season’s five Lux Art Institute residents:

Camilo Restrepo (Colombia)

In Lux’s words: “Punctuated by bright colors and cartoonish characters, Camilo Restrepo’s works represent internal and external dialogues: one relating to the psyche and a desire for perfection, the other reflecting the horrors in drug-laden Colombia.” In studio: Sept. 10-Oct. 20. On exhibit: Through Oct. 29.

Xawery Wolski (Poland)

In Lux’s words: “Aspects of clothing — particularly the dress — subsume Xawery Wolski’s artistic practice. Wolski views the dress as a second skin used to cover, protect,

In Lux’s words: “Siro’s paintings derive from his dreams, subconscious and fleeting thoughts, as well as abstract ideas unearthed from old journals. His works reject traditional narrative painting in order to demonstrate his own personal language.” In studio: Jan. 21-Feb. 18. On exhibit: Through March 18.

Vibha Galhorta (India)

In Lux’s words: “Vibha Galhorta’s large-scale sculptures confront the changing topography of the world to highlight the impact of globalization and growth on specific communities and regions. Using ghungaroos — metal ankle bells that are a feminine symbol within Indian culture — Galhorta creates works describing the ecological issues plaguing India and its water supply. In studio: April 1-April 29. On exhibit: Through May 27.

Jorge Pardo (Cuba)

In Lux’s words: “Jorge Pardo’s visually alluring work examines the crossing of contemporary painting, design, sculpture and architecture. Using a broad palette of colors, patterns, and a mix of organic and industrial materials, Pardo’s works range from murals to home furnishings to collages, buildings, pools and gardens.” In studio: June 12-June 17, 2017.

Encinitas attorney wants to increase awareness of Bird’s Nest custody Family law specialist John Griffith says, if possible, it’s the best arrangement

BY CHRIS SAUR Certified family law specialist John Griffith has been dealing with custody battles since his own nearly a decade ago.

The 38-year-old partner at the Encinitas law firm Griffith, Young and Lass knows there are many kinds of custody deals that divorcing parents can choose, but he wishes there was more awareness for a unique arrangement called Bird’s Nest custody.

Under this arrangement, the kids stay in the primary marital residence, while the John Griffith parents move in and out, either weekly or every few days. This allows the children to keep their routines, stay in their same room and remain near their friends and their school.

This specialized form of joint custody isn’t common, or even viable in all cases — either due to the cost of maintaining three households or the inability of the parents to remain amicable enough with each other to make it work — but, if possible, Griffith says it is the best arrangement.

“If nesting is sustainable, you can afford it, it’s the best thing for the kids, in my

opinion,” said the Thomas Jefferson School of Law graduate. “Every case where kids are faced with the realistic risk of having to move away from the neighborhood they grew up in, is a case where I have pushed nesting. I have cases where it’s just heartbreaking, the mom can’t afford to stay in the same neighborhood and these kids have to move away from their friends and change schools.

“I’ve got couples that still love each other and are working together, getting through the divorce as easily and nonconfrontationally as possible. In situations like that, I think nesting works out a lot better.”

Even in the affluent cities in San Diego’s North Coastal region, nesting isn’t done very often. Though Griffith said he often presents it to parents as a possible option — especially during the pendency of divorce — in eight years practicing he has only ever seen two couples give the option a try. Nesting is thought to have been first implemented by a couple in Virginia in 2000.

“I think a lot of people don’t know it is a potential option,” Griffith explained.

“Maybe, if it came out in pop culture that it was popular, maybe if we saw on Entertainment Tonight that a celebrity couple was doing nesting, we could at least bring some awareness to it as an option.”

In addition to lack of awareness, Griffith adds that the sad truth is, divorcing parents don’t always do what is best for children, SEE ATTORNEY, A14

Q&A

‘American Sniper’ author Scott McEwen on Chris Kyle and more

BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ illions of Americans read “American Sniper,” and millions more saw the movie.

Most were mesmerized, deeply moved, and ultimately even more appreciative of what our military — and their families — endure on a daily basis. What they must do to keep us — and each other — safe.

With the current controversy about the number of medals Chris Kyle earned, the time seemed right to ask the man who convinced Chris to tell his story, and who was a co-author of the book and an advisor on the movie set, Scott McEwen, to sit down and answer a few questions for us.

Meet Scott and ask him your own questions during a special screening of “American Sniper” at ArcLight Cinemas in La Jolla, Wednesday, June 29, at 6 p.m.

(4425 La Jolla Village Drive, San Diego, 92122).

What led to you writing American Sniper with Chris Kyle? How did the project come about?

I met Chris while he was still active. We met through some mutual friends who were Navy SEALs, and spent a lot of time together when he was in town and not

How much time did you spend with Scott McEwen Chris? How well do you believe you knew him?

What was your biggest take-away from writing this book?

I think that our nation needs to respect those that have made the decision to defend us in the military, and support them in the event they are in need of medical help on return (VA). These men and women have made a commitment to do a service for this country, and we SEE AUTHOR, A19

The Bacon Brothers to perform at San Diego County Fair

BY ROB LEDONNE Throughout the 1980s and ‘90s, Kevin Bacon was one of the biggest stars in the word. An actor and dancer, Bacon starred in such monster hits as “Footloose” (his infamous 1984 breakout role that centers on a town that bans dancing), “A Few Good Men” (the legal drama alongside Tom Cruise) and “Apollo 13” (the Ron Howard-directed space epic with Tom Hanks). In addition to his acting prowess, Bacon has been steadily releasing music under the moniker of The Bacon Brothers, a duo he’s in with his brother Michael. Since releasing their first album in 1997, the duo has been consistently touring and spreading their country folk sound for the past 19 years.

“It feels like a long time,” says brother Michael while on a brief respite in the middle of their current tour. “I mostly focus on how much we improve.” Adds Kevin, “I can’t believe it’s been that long. I mostly can’t believe we have done seven records and very few covers. Proud of that.”

Even before coming out with their first album, Kevin and Michael were performing together for years before that, starting as kids growing up in Philadelphia. While Kevin went off to pursue acting (one of his first roles was in the comedy classic “Animal House”), Michael focused on music and soon composed the scores for countless television series, mostly on public TV. Regarding the long-term commitment to their respective crafts, Michael noted, “I think both of us were taught at an early age that if you’re good at something you need to have a way of expressing that.”

Despite releasing seven studio albums, it miraculously never slowed down Kevin’s film and

television career. The actor is so prolific he’s known for being the inspiration behind the “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon,” a party game where you have to trace any actor back to Kevin in six roles or less.

(Bacon later capitalized on this by founding the website SixDegrees.org, which links charities with potential donors.)

In addition, the Brothers are also spokespeople for the American Egg Board, the company behind the Incredible Edible Egg campaign. (Tagline: “Wake up to eggs with the Bacon Brothers.”)

The duo is also constantly touring, something that they have a love-hate relationship with after the past two decades of life on the road.

“We can succeed as a band in any type of venue,” says Michael. “Mechanical bulls, opera houses, casinos —bring ‘em on!” On the other hand, while Kevin still enjoys performing he points out, “I’ve lost my taste for traveling.”

Come June 26 at 8 p.m., the duo hits Del Mar to tackle San Diego’s County Fair with their entertaining live show that ranges the musical gamut and features tracks from their latest album, 2014’s 36 Cents. They are also set to preview the brand new upcoming song “Driver.”

“Live shows are more akin to theater,” notes Kevin on how performing music on stage relates to acting. “There’s no take two at a live show, while being in the studio is a lot like doing a movie.”

Adds Michael of the experience, “I love seeing different parts of the country and love playing for receptive audiences. We have a great crew and band. They make it easy.”

“Unbroken Ground,” a 25-minute film that explores the critical role food plays in finding solutions to the environmental crisis, will be screened at Patagonia Cardiff, 2185 San Elijo Ave., on July 6 at 7 p.m. as part of a nationwide premiere tour.

The evening will include a panel discussion with director/filmmaker Chris Malloy following the screening, as well as local beer and the opportunity to taste Patagobia Provisions’ organic food sourced from partners in the film.

Released by Patagonia Provisions, “Unbroken Ground” discusses how

the vast majority of food is produced using methods that reduce biodiversity, decimate soil and contribute to climate change.

Patagonia Provisions believes that food can and should be be grown, harvested and produced in ways that restore the land, water, wildlife and human health. Malloy, from Farm League, tells the story of four pioneering groups — and the people behind them — leading the way with regenerative agriculture, restorative grazing, new crop development and selective-harvest fishing.

Partnership offers expert education for students who need it most A new partnership in Encinitas aims to build a community for local students — particularly those with unstable school surroundings. C2 Education, a national tutoring and mentoring service, works with the Encinitas Library and high school volunteers to assist San Diego County Office of Education’s Migrant Education program in its mission to cultivate a positive educational atmosphere where all children can learn, grow and foster positive relationships.

Every Thursday night from 5:30

p.m. to 8 p.m., you can find students from across San Diego County gathered at the Encinitas Library, pouring through pages and engaged in an evening of tutoring and mentoring. Recently, C2 Education joined forces with the program to create an enhanced educational aspect with quality one-on-one times with C2 Education’s staff. In addition to the educational benefits, say organizers, the evenings continue to build a strong sense of a community and foster a spark to chose a career path.

“The partnership has been extremely beneficial for the children I work with, and for a variety of students in Encinitas,” said Gabriela Beas, migrant services aide at the San Diego County Office of Education.

“As a migrant myself, these kids are important to me, and I want nothing more than to see them succeed.”

San Diego County Office of Education’s Migrant Education program assists children of migratory farm workers and fishers in graduating from high school. The

program provides support services through collaboration with school districts and other community agencies to maximize the potential of students. Working closely with parents, each district designs its own plan of services to provide the most effective program possible to ensure equitable opportunities and increase graduation rates.

“This opportunity has allowed us to help all students of San Diego county, not only those enrolled in our program,” says C2 Education San Diego Program Director Sherie

Ibarra. “One evening our tutors may sit on the floor reading to a second grader, the next they may help a high school student with their chemistry AP homework. Whatever the kids need, we are there to help them achieve their dreams.”

The free homework help is open to the public and registration is not required.

For more information about C2 Education’s locations and how they can help students reach their academic potential, visit www.c2education.com.

Locals raise money for youth homelessness A pair of local residents are using reclaimed redwood and cedar garden boxes to raise money for homeless kids in San Diego County and engage the community.

Encinitas resident Jimmy Achey and Cody Price, from Carlsbad, have formed Calibrabox.com, where they showcase Achey’s unique garden and planner boxes, which are filled with a variety of succulents and flowers and sold at the Del Mar and Encinitas Farmers Markets.

Achey, a general contractor at the Calibri Building Group, collects scrap wood from local construction job sites and repurposes it.

On Sundays at Soul of Yoga, Achey works with children, teaching them about about renewable and green practices as they participated in putting SEE HOMELESS, A14

Surf Cities National Charity League Class of 2016 Senior Recognition On May 29 at the Hyatt Aventine in La Jolla, the Surf Cities chapter of the National Charity League (NCL), recognized its senior class, the Class of 2016, for its hard work and philanthropy efforts over the past six years.

This annual event is a time-honored tradition in the National Charity League, Inc. The girls join NCL in 7th grade and volunteer throughout their six years at a variety of organizations in San Diego County. This rite of passage ceremony celebrates the transition from the teen years to the wonderful future that lies ahead of them.

NCL is committed to the development of mothers and daughters as leaders and is dedicated to improving local communities through hands-on volunteerism.

The National Charity League, Inc., Surf Cities Chapter was founded in 2006 in North San Diego County and today the Chapter has more than 300 members serving 18 local philanthropies and volunteering more than 5,000 hours a year within the local community.

For more information on what charities are served by the Surf Cities chapter,please visit www.NCLSurfCities.org.

Combining scientific facts with outdoor fun for San Diego County sixth graders has been a winning combination since 1946. More than one million children have participated in hands-on lessons through the Cuyamaca Outdoor School, more popularly known as “Sixth Grade Camp.” According to AB1330, “children who attended outdoor school significantly raised their science scores by 27 percent…”

Sixth graders look forward to their sixth grade camp experience but the $350-$400 cost is prohibitive to families experiencing financial difficulty.

Community support helps these children attend camp and relieves the financial burden on school districts.

Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito (ALRSD) recently

presented the Cardiff School District a check for $1,725.

ALRSD’s Operation School Bell/Scholarships Program awards money annually to local school districts to help with the costs of sixth grade camp.

Pat Talmon, ALRSD’s vice president of Philanthropic Programs, presented the check to Jill Vinson, district superintendent.

Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of children and adults affected by trauma, violence and poverty. It is one of more than 120 chapters of National Assistance League, a nonprofit organization dedicated to putting “caring and commitment into action.” To learn more about ALRSD, visit www.alrsd.org.

the soil and plants into the boxes.

“The joy and wonder that the children have from making these wonderful garden boxes is amazing,” Achey said in a press release.

When the boxes are sold, 20 percent of the money goes toward the Standupforkids.org nonprofit, a children-focused charity that is helping homeless young people in San Diego County.

Price, a local radio host, met Achey when the former brought his two daughters to a box-building charity event at the Tierra Madre farm. They two then joined together to form Calibrabox.com.

“The children learned so much in the few hours we were there,” Price said. “When I met Jimmy, I knew I had to get more involved in the fight to help the homeless children of San Diego.”

To date the group has raised $1,500 to fight youth homelessness.

even if money isn’t the issue.

“The worst possible part of a divorce is how the divorce affects the kids,” he continued. “And when parents learn that, sometimes they change their behavior and sometimes they don’t. And the parent that is willing to change their behavior, to put the needs of the kids first, is usually the one that ends up getting custody of the kids.”

Griffith grew up in a military family. He spent eight years of his childhood in Germany, attended high school in Texas, then college in L.A. and Georgia. After law school, he worked for several firms before starting his own practice five years ago. He was joined first by Katie Young, then Amy Lass made it Griffith, Young and Lass three years ago.

Griffith married Young three years ago and the two have a daughter due in September.

Son Jadon, 12, from Griffith’s previous marriage, completes the family unit.

“I went to law school knowing I wanted to be a family law attorney because I went through a divorce of my own while an undergrad,” Griffith said. “A lot of times when I represent people that are going through tough custody battles, I can kind of relate to them.”

FROM BUDGET, A1 support for the road improvements, and the council as a whole was eager to put money into the Encinitas streets, which saw their average PCI fall each year from 2009 through 2012, when the number dropped to 69.

In that same vein, the 2016-17 budget found $1 million in Safe Routes to Schools money to do improvements to streets near three school sites.

Among the many projects allocated Capital Improvement funds, other key expenditures include $2.7 million to build the long-awaited Standard Pacific Park in Leucadia, $2.5 million for a potential railroad crossing at Montgomery Ave. in Cardiff (this money has been set aside

FROM YOGA, A1 program’s benefits made it worth continuing with funding from the district. Those advantages, they say, are not just for the participating children, but also in the fact that regular classroom teachers use the time to collaborate, improving the students’ overall educational experience.

Opponents of the program feel money can be better spent on support for core subjects.

“The mistake that some people make is that this is about yoga. It’s not, it’s about how they are going to pay for it,” said Bruce Stirling, a parent of a fifth-grader at Flora Vista and one of the many red-clad protestors who gathered to hold signs prior to the meeting.

“The parents (in Encinitas) raise a tremendous amount of money to supplement the curriculum. We pay for science and Phys. Ed. and math specialists and the like. We provide millions of dollars to get that done because they say they don’t have any money.

And yet they are able to find $800,000 for yoga.”

An original plan to replace the $800,000 of yoga funding with district money was modified after discussion at the school board meetings on May 24 and June 7. The updated plan, which is in the 2016-17 budget approved by the board on the June 21, has $416,000

should the council be able to find a solution to several issues including horn noise and fences) and $1 million for drainage-related items. This includes working on flooding issues in Leucadia.

Before voting to adopt the budget, the council spent some time at the June 22 meeting, figuring out the exact wording for the Housing Element Update ballot question, which will be put to voters in November.

While the budget was a hot-button issue June 8, the housing plan aroused passions during public comment at the June 15 meeting.

After much debate — and one key change capping at two the amount of stories allowed in developments in one site in Cardiff — the council eventually felt it had to go through

set aside for 13 full-time District Enrichment Teachers (folding over the previous Health and Wellness instructors into these positions) with most of the leftover, $346,000, being used to pay for 40 percent of the salaries of 27 site-specific Enrichment Teachers.

Each of the district schools will then shoulder the remaining 60 percent of the site-specific positions, which provide instruction in art, science, engineering, coding, music, world languages, physical education, or other enrichment programing.

The agreement is for this to be a one-year pilot program for the next school year, after which it can be re-evaluated and outside funding could also be secured.

Several parents, and even fourth-grader Georgia Sporrer, went to the mic during public comment to stand up for the benefits of yoga itself and the new program as a whole.

Rebecca Conley, president of the Paul Ecke Central PTA, thanked the board for listening to parent concerns and felt that those concerns were met in the new proposal.

“Unfortunately, it appears that some people are using inflammatory rhetoric to put politics before the needs and education of our children,” Conley said. “What’s good for our kids is simple. It is balanced education that

with a housing plan. And because of the recent Prop A, that plan must now go to the Encinitas voters.

The ballot question will be: Shall City Council Resolution No. 2016-52 and Ordinance 2016-04, which collectively update the City’s General Plan Housing Element, amend related General Olan provisions, and amend Specific Plans, Zoning Code, Zoning Map, Municipal Code, and Local Coastal Program in an effort to comply with state law, incentivize greater housing affordability, implement rules to protect the character of existing neighborhoods, maintain local control of Encinitas zoning, and resolve existing lawsuits, be adopted?

Encinitas voters will answer yes or no Nov. 8.

includes a well-rounded health and wellness program and additional funding for our school-based enrichment programs. The budget proposal in front of (the board of June 21) does this in a fiscal responsible way.

“This (new version of the proposal) goes farther and also relives a huge financial burden currently borne by parents through school-site PTAs. Thank you for hearing our pleas for fiscal relief and partially funding enrichment programs previously exclusively funded by the PTAs.” Before voting to adopt the budget that included this program, board members amended the language to specify that they were approving the Enrichment Teacher Program and that would include yoga at least once a week, but it would be up to the individual school sites to determine how the remainder of that time was spent.

Board member Carol Skiljan stressed that parents need to understand that the Enrichment Program is not coming at the cost of core subjects, which are being taught capably by the classroom teachers, especially when they have time to collaborate and learn from each other’s strengths.

“The reason why we are calling this enrichment is because it is the augmentation

of what’s happening in the classroom. We have very highly skilled teachers in this school district,” Skiljan explained.

“Frankly, I think it is insulting to have parents say ‘Oh we need to hire someone to teach science.’ Obviously, we need to do a much better job of helping parents to understand exactly what is going on in the classroom.

“Part of what we are trying to achieve here is the ability to have our teachers collaborate for part of the school day. To decide on the curriculum and learn from each other.”

Opponents of putting this money into the 2016-17 budget, however, were not appeased by the changes made to the plan, nor by the board’s amendment that sites can choose to limit the yoga to once a week.

“It’s a step it the right direction, but the principle of the matter is, yoga shouldn’t be funded at all until core areas are paid for,” said Anne-Katherine Pingree, the parent of a child from El Camino Creek. “To ask parents to raise money to pay for a science teacher or a P.E. teacher — at our school, we have to pay for a P.E. teacher — it’s not right for us to have to pay for that while they have money for yoga, even one penny. All of that money should go to core academics and then, if there is money left over, let the schools decide.”

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 PLAN, A2 on that list are: preserving open space/natural area (88 percent), trails and pathways (87 percent) and community/neighborhood parks (84 percent).

Taking into account that most respondents felt their needs were being met in terms of beaches/beach viewpoints, the highest priority for the future, according to GreenPlay’s summary of the findings, is adding, expanding and improving the city’s open space/natural areas and trails/pathways, including but not limited to improving connectivity.

The compiled results were presented June 20 at a community workshop, after which around 40 interested citizens — including Deputy Mayor Lisa Shaffer — added their input. Those results, including the input from June 20, were then presented to the Encinitas Parks and Rec Commission for discussion the next night.

Preliminary recommendations based on all of that information are expected next month, and a meeting to unveil those to the public is scheduled for Monday, July 18.

After that, the Parks and Rec and Planning Commissions will discuss the plan before making their recommendations to the Encinitas City Council. The council is expected to receive those recommendations late next fall or early next year.

“I would describe (the Parks Master Plan) as a cross between the city’s long-range vision for parks, trails and open space … and the strategic plan, which usually is an action-oriented plan, usually about two or three years in duration,” explained Encinitas interim director of Parks and Recreation Jim O’Grady. “This is more of a 10-year look ahead.”

At the June 20 meeting, consultant Art Thatcher from GreenPlay outlined the information gained from what he feels was a statistically valid survey. 499 mailed surveys were returned, a 14.5 percent response rate when 10 is typical, and another 582 open link surveys were filled out. Not only was it deemed to be a strong sample size, but a look at the demographics found it to be solidly representative of all the different areas and types of people in Encinitas.

So, in addition to working toward adding and expanding the city’s open spaces and trails, what do the people of Encinitas want from their parks and recreation plan?

Community events was identified as the most important parks and rec program, but the city seems to be filling that need, according to the highest percentage of respondents.

Meanwhile, working on improving the condition/maintenance of existing parks and recreation facilities is something residents would like to focus more on.

Graphs comparing the relative importance of parks and rec programs and facilities to those needs actually being met, singled out an aquatic facility and programs as an area to look at as well.

Another part of the presentation was an inventory summary of Encinitas’ 39 outdoor sites, four indoor facilities and more than 30 miles of trails. This was done by Design Concepts, and was presented by Dave Peterson, the firm’s director of specialized planning.

Peterson, who visited all of those sites personally, outlined needs for more shade at parks, connectivity of trails and storage at sports fields, as well as what he saw as missed opportunities for public art and measured loops to add to the community’s focus on health.

However, despite those possible areas of improvement, Peterson also showed great strengths in the existing city park system, including the fact that 95 percent of Encinitas residents have walkable access to some type of recreation. He added that the number could be even higher with a few small improvements, such as creating access through existing pedestrian barriers.

It is also worth adding, as several residents at the June 20 meeting noted, that some of the more rural areas of Olivenhain may have all the recreation they need on their own larger properties.

In a summary at the end of the presentation, Thatcher highlighted some other recurring themes for the city’s plan to address. These included continuing to look at ways to increase programming opportunities — such as events, outdoor recreation, nature/environmental and fitness/wellness — as well as possible increases in opportunities for active recreation with courts and athletic fields. Another recommendation was to increase the marking, branding and awareness of new and existing programs and facilities within the parks master plan.

FROM MILLER, A2

FROM CARDIFF, A5

he wouldn’t have made the recommendation if they hadn’t found someone as “talented and accomplished” as Miller to step into the role.

“Any superintendent would’ve taken him, we were really lucky he had an interest in us. Mark is going to be a fit on anybody’s team… he’s incredible,” Schmitt said. “(His work) is important, the community expects it and we need the work done immediately, I didn’t want to wait.”

As far as the four-year contract, Schmitt said all of SDUHSD’s associate superintendents have those contract terms and they thought Miller deserve the same treatment as his colleagues.

In voting against the hire, Muir’s reasoning was a lack of parent input.

“Parents have said special education is not getting the attention it needs,” Muir said, noting that at recent meetings, such as the superintendent search forums, parents said they wanted to collaborate more with the district. “If this is so important the parents should have been involved.”

Schmitt said while it’s unlikely that parents would sit in on executive session interviews, they have been engaged with the district in multiple ways, including the district’s development of its Local Control Accountability Plan.

“One of the things we liked about Mr. Miller is that is what he does; his specialty is engaging the special education community,” Schmitt said. “He will do that and hit the ground running.”

Also, the district would rebuild Cardiff School’s 65-year-old classrooms, replace aging temporary portables with new classrooms at Cardiff School and Ada Harris School, and make health, safety and security improvements, including constructing a new Cardiff School multipurpose room (the old MPR is 55 years old) closer to the school’s main entrance to provide a safer campus layout. Additional projects include promoting energy efficiency with solar, sustainable buildings, and replacement of inefficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.

“The board’s main priority is the students,” Mark Whitehouse, president of the Cardiff School District Board of Trustees said in the release. “Our district has excellent teachers and administration, great families, supportive business owners, and a long history of being one of the best school districts in San Diego, as a result of our focus on the students. The learning environment should also reflect this.

“Modern, naturally lit, well-ventilated classrooms will improve student learning. This project will also provide an opportunity to address student safety through a new, cohesive campus layout.”

Before passing the resolution, the board discussed setting up an Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee to ensure sound fiscal management of bond proceeds. It also agreed that, to keep the cost within the $22 million budget, priority would be given to solar energy in favor of additional parking, paving and completion of the Ada Harris track. Solar and other energy efficiency initiatives will significantly decrease utility costs and the expected savings will be used to tackle ongoing maintenance needs.

Research will also be done on the public suggestion of working with the city of Encinitas and other state agencies to increase parking and improve traffic flow with crosswalks on the west side of San Elijo Ave., across from the school.

The board agreed that it is an optimal time for a school facilities improvement proposition, the most common and cost effective funding tool used by San Diego and California school districts. Historically, low interest rates and high

FROM SDUHSD, A1 navigate the stress of teenage years,” Schmitt said.

Viloria said the district is still working on how the process will work, as well as training teachers to be able to identify students who are struggling socially and emotionally — he said overall staff is very excited.

“This was an identified need,” Viloria said. “We only have so much supplemental dollars to spend so this was the area that it was determined to be the best moving forward.”

SDUHSD board member Mo Muir has long advocated for more counselors at the school sites. The district has added more counselors over the last three years, improving the ratio from 550:1 to 445:1 but Muir believes that ratio is still too many.

“I’m just afraid kids will fall through the cracks because there are so many kids in need,” Muir said.

According to Schmitt, if the board approves the new social worker job description at the next

voter turnout in a Presidential election year make this a good time to place a long-term facilities solution on the ballot for a large percentage of Cardiff residents to weigh in.

Locally in Cardiff, voters are no stranger to supporting major school renovations through local propositions, as they approved a school improvement proposition in 2000 with over 80 percent of the vote. Funds from that proposition were primarily used to rebuild Ada Harris School and also provided the Cardiff School campus with modernization of the old buildings, as well as a new library, computer lab and administration building and an art and science lab.

This new $22 million proposition is estimated to add a property tax of approximately $26.25 per $100,000 of assessed valuation to Cardiff residents. Similar to a home loan, the estimated pay off of the proposition would be 30 years.

The Cardiff School District Board of Trustees approved the resolution after over two years of research and gathering data and then obtaining community feedback this spring.

In the fall of 2015, the board was presented with a Facilities Master Plan conducted by the San Diego County Office of Education, Facilities Solutions Groups that listed major renovations such as the replacement of 65-year-old inoperable, classroom windows, leaking roofs, and outdated plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Further facilities analysis showed needed upgrades or new construction projects, including the replacement of aging portable classrooms on both campuses, a safety retrofit of the brick building on the Cardiff campus and ADA compliance in the 1950s Cardiff School kitchen.

After discussing the need for major school improvement renovations, the board spent time this spring gathering community feedback.

If the school improvement proposition is approved by voters, further considerations for the architecture and design of the rebuilding will be undertaken with significant community input. A desire to honor the school’s history, charm and reflection of the unique character of the Cardiff community would frame the process, concluded the news release. – Submitted press release board meeting, the district’s ratio will reduce further, by approximately 30 students per high school counselor. According to the most recent California Department of Education data, the average ratio of students per counselor in California is 945:1.

SDUHSD Vice President Joyce Dalessandro said she thinks the addition of social workers is a “fantastic start”— she said the district has to start somewhere, see how many children are in need and work from there.

Other goals outlined in the LCAP include improving student achievement through support and intervention and ensuring all graduates are college and career ready.

At the June 30 board meeting, the board will also approve the 2016-17 budget, a projected $129 million in revenue and $136 million in expenditures, a deficit of $6.7 million. The budget meets the board’s recommended 4.5 percent level of reserve funds, with an end balance of $13

million.

SDUHSD Associate Superintendent of Business Services Eric Dill said the district has a pattern of adopting a budget with deficits and in many cases ending the year with a surplus.

“We have low revenue and high expenditures but over the next course of the year we will work to bring those two sides together.

We have a long history of doing just that,” Dill said.

“We’re committed to stability and sustainability over time and we’re always taking a multi-year look at all of the factors that go into the budget.”

The budget reflects an increase in revenue due to an estimated 5 percent growth in property tax revenues and an increase in the state’s LCFF funding.

Expenditures are up overall due to items like the 5.5 percent salary increases, additional staffing at Pacific Trails Middle School due to next year’s addition of eighth grade and additional campus supervisors, a suggestion made by the board during its budget workshop.

FROM AUTHOR, A7 should honor their sacrifice.

What do you hope others take away from reading the book and seeing the movie?

I hope people gain a better understanding of what our military men, women and families go through in deploying and being in harm’s way for extended periods of time.

Not just the SEAL teams, but all military. The sacrifice is real, and many times life altering (if not ending.) People should know that this is going on, even though only 1 percent of our society actually serves.

How do you respond to the current charges that Chris exaggerated his contributions?

I find that the claims of discrepancy in Chris’ medal count are unfounded. The claims are essentially based upon an alleged comment by “an unnamed Navy official” who purportedly said that Chris earned fewer medals than were found in his official record — a document that’s called the DD-214 — and the assertion that Chris was only given three or four commendations that could be gleaned from certain other documents. But they didn’t offer any backup to prove that’s all there is. Meanwhile, they released the DD-214, the official government record, and that shows Chris being awarded at least two Silver Stars and five Bronze Stars.

I’m not aware of a document that lessens the medals that were contained in the DD-214.

Do you think it matters how many medals Kyle actually received? Why? I think it is important that you strive for as much accuracy as possible any time you are writing a true story about someone’s life and

accomplishments. The men and women of our military take medals seriously as recognition of their accomplishments while serving this nation, and for that reason alone it matters-a lot. However, in the overall picture of Chris Kyle’s service (or any member of our military men and women’s service) I do not think the “medal count” even begins to tell the story of the man or the woman. What matters about Chris Kyle’s story is that he strove to bring as many of his fellow service members back to this country alive as he could. Chris served with honor and distinction, and ultimately gave his life helping a fellow service member. That is his legacy, not the number of awards or medals he received.

You have written far more than “American Sniper.” What is next from Scott McEwen?

I have been very busy. I’ve got my newest novel, “Ghost Sniper,” in a four-novel series called “Sniper Elite,” which releases this summer, July 12. Sony/Columbia are now in production on a movie based on the Sniper Elite series. Also, in September we release “American Commander,” a book on the life of Ryan Zinke, a current congressman from Montana, who was a SEAL for 23 years and was one of Chris’ commanders. It is really a book about American exceptionalism, devotion to this country, and what it takes to make and maintain the SEALs and the U.S. Military in general, the strongest force for good on the face of the planet. My favorite subjects.
