Kevin Wylot is a renaissance man at the tender age of 17 BY CHRIS SAUR
When people look back at the life of 17-year-old Kevin Wylot of Encinitas, it may force a change to one of the English language’s oldest figures of speech. Rather than “Jack of all trades,” the phrase could be forever become “Kevin of all trades.” Wylot, a recent graduate of San Dieguito Academy, played his first solo recital as a classical guitarist on June 26. He said it went well, even Kevin though it’s a wonder he even has time to Wylot practice. The Encinitas native since birth also builds drones from scratch, has built two electric guitars, is an amateur photographer, teaches classes as a summer camp counselor at La Jolla Country Day, is about to earn his Eagle Scout rank, plays high-level ice hockey and rides a motorcycle, all while posting a 3.6 GPA. Young for his grade, Wylot will leave for college at the prestigious Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York before he even turns 18. At the school, which is touted as the nation’s oldest technological research university, he’ll major in mechanical SEE TEEN, A18
City of Encinitas has suits coming and going Settlement with DCM announced the same day citizen group files new suit BY CHRIS SAUR It was one in, one out for the city of Encinitas on June 27 as it announced the settlement of one housing-related lawsuit, and another was filed the same day. The Encinitas City Council decided to settle a suit brought by DCM Properties Inc. in January. That lawsuit challenged the city’s failure to update its Housing Element, provisions of its density bonus ordinance and Encinitas’ Proposition A as inconsistent with state law. Though the council already voted last month for a Housing Element Update — which, because of 2013’s Prop A, must be put on the November ballot — it decided to settle with DCM (as it had with another lawsuit filed by the Building Industry Association of San Diego last year) to avoid costly litigation.

The featured soloists at a previous iPalpiti Festival perform at the Encinitas Library at sunset. The festival returns to Encinitas next week with four concerts at the library, followed by one at the St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church on July 16.
Sublime sounds of iPalpiti Festival coming to Encinitas Seven world-class young soloists will be featured BY CHRIS SAUR With its beautiful beaches and delicious restaurants, Encinitas is truly a feast for the senses. Not to be left out, the ears of local residents are in for a treat later this month when the annual iPalpiti Festival returns to the city for the fifth straight year. In its 19th year overall, the festival will kick off in Encinitas July 7-10 before heading north to the Greater Los Angeles area. On July 16, the tour comes back down to Encinitas for a final performance. The initial four concerts, each set for 7:30 p.m., will feature seven world-class soloists from around the globe performing in front of the picturesqe ocean backdrop at the Encinitas Library. First up among the soloists, on July 7, is Duo Gurfinkel, made up of twin brothers Alex and Daniel from Israel. The pair will perform popular miniatures from Mozart, Paganini, Gershwin and Klezmer, among others, in special arrangements for two clarinets. The Gurfinkels were discovered by Zubin Mehta, Conductor of the Israel
Philharmonic. “Daniel and Alexander Gurfinkel are two of the most talented musicians among the young generation of Israeli’s today,” Mehta said in a release. The next night, violinists Davide de Ascaniis and Haoyue Liao, cellist Carl-Oscar Østerlind and pianist Jacopo Giacopuzzi will perform in different combinations in a program titled “Dvorak and Sibelius.” Giacopuzzi is a 28-year-old-Italian, who moved to the United States in 2012, while de Ascaniis was born in Italy in 1991. Liao is Chinese, and Østerlind is Danish. The July 9 event will bring back Duo Gurfinkel and Giacopuzzi to join American violist Julia Clancy to perform pieces from Germany and Spain. The four-night extravaganza of excellent featured soloists wraps up July 10 with all seven of them taking the stage to perform Brahms’ Clarinet Trio Op. 114 and Clarinet Quintet Op. 115.

Woman’s suspicious death Two victims identified in being investigated in Encinitas Rancho Santa Fe deaths Homicide detectives were called to a home in Encinitas early June 27 to investigate the death of woman that was deemed suspicious.

Firefighters were called to this home on Spanish Bay Court in Encinitas early June 27 to investigate a suspicious death.
BY DANA LITTLEFIELD Two of three people whose bodies were found this week inside a Rancho Santa Fe home have been identified as the homeowner’s teenage daughter and his longtime friend, a real estate broker from Los Angeles, sources said Wednesday. Although county officials have not yet released the names of the two women and one teenage girl who died inside the home, friends and relatives have confirmed through phone calls and social media that the youngest was Hannah Arya,15, whose father Michael Arya bought the house 18 months ago.
He died in April after a battle with lung cancer. On June 19, Hannah posted a photo on her Instagram account showing herself as a child sitting on her father’s lap. The message posted with the photo read, “Happy Father’s Day! I miss you more and more every day.” After the bodies were found on Monday, people who follow the teen’s social media account posted messages expressing their sadness and shock over her death. They described her as a kind, loving and beautiful girl. “Rest in peace, beautiful soul,” one SEE VICTIMS, A19
Solar parking canopies save SDUHSD $3.4 million Encinitas brings in Campbell to be Solar shade canopies installed at Canyon Crest Academy and La Costa Canyon High School have saved San Dieguito Union High School District more than $3.4 million in energy costs to date. OpTerra Energy Services worked with the district on program development, financing, design and construction of the two megawatt solar photovoltaic-covered parking structures. The project is expected to save the district more than $10.5 million over its 15-year lifetime. In addition to the money the district now saves on electricity costs, the sale of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) generated by the system provides
the district with a new source of revenue. With a successfully performing solar installation for over five years, San Dieguito stands out as a leader in renewable energy for the San Diego County school system. OpTerra designed and built the carport shade structures in 2010 and continues to operate, maintain, measure and guarantee the system’s performance. Project costs were offset by a $4.7 million rebate from the California Solar Initiative and other available funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. San Dieguito also tapped into funding SEE CANOPIES, A17

Digging danger at Cardiff State Beach Holes in the sand can collapse, trapping people inside BY PHIL DIEHL A recent close call prompted North County lifeguards and emergency workers to warn people Tuesday, June 28, about digging deep holes at the beach, and to demonstrate how quickly the holes can collapse. A 10-year-old boy was completely buried June 16 as he dug a hole in the sand at Cardiff State Beach, Encinitas lifeguard Capt. Larry Giles said at Tuesday’s demonstration, held at Moonlight Beach. “He dug it deep enough where he could actually crawl inside, and it collapsed on him,” Giles said. Fortunately, about 15 people were nearby and immediately started digging, while one person went for lifeguards, he said. The child’s head was buried for about two minutes. “They were able to get to the child’s airway first, which was the right thing to do,” Giles said. “Basically, they just got him out. He inhaled some sand, but they transported him to the hospital and he recovered.” With the July Fourth weekend coming up, one of the busiest of the summer, lifeguards and paramedics said they want more people to be aware of a hazard that’s often forgotten or ignored. Annie Howe, an Encinitas lifeguard for nine years, said she often has to warn beach goers
CHARLIE NEUMAN
Paul Reeve, of the Encinitas Fire Department, carries a baby-sized mannequin that he and other emergency personnel pulled from a deep hole in a sand-collapse rescue demonstration Tuesday, June 28, at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas. that their excavations are getting out of control. Some people are surprised or even shocked by the warning, she said, but usually they cooperate agreeably. No hole in the sand should be more than knee-deep for the smallest person in the group, Howe said. Even a collapse that doesn’t cover someone’s head can be dangerous, firefighters said. Sand is heavy, about 100 pounds per cubic foot or 2,700 pounds for a cubic yard. That much weight can press down on a
tunein tunein
person’s chest and prevent them from breathing. “If someone’s not breathing, you’ve got four to six minutes to save them,” said Battalion Chief Robbie Ford of the Joint Fire Management Services, which covers Del Mar, Encinitas and Solana Beach. A Riverside County teen nearly died in July 2010 when a sand tunnel collapsed near the Oceanside Pier. The 18-year-old had dug a trench 8 feet long, 4 feet wide and 5 feet deep, and was creating a tunnel off the trench when it collapsed and trapped him, according to a
San Diego Union-Tribune story from that time. Bystanders had unearthed him by the time paramedics arrived, but he had inhaled a large amount of sand and was taken to Tri-City Medical Center for treatment. A 26-year-old man died July 21, 2014, at Half Moon Bay in Northern California when a hole he had dug “nearly twice as deep as he was tall” collapsed on top of him, according to the San Jose Mercury News. It took dozens of beach goers and a crew of more than 30 county firefighters 35 minutes to dig him out. There were 52 documented fatal or near-fatal “dry sand hole collapses” in the United States between 1995 and 2007, according to a training report created by San Diego lifeguards. The victims are almost always boys. To publicize the dangers, lifeguards and firefighter-paramedics demonstrated sand-collapse rescue techniques using mannequins Tuesday morning. July weekends are the busiest times of the year for San Diego County beaches. The cove at Moonlight Beach could see 30,000 people in a single day. The entire three miles of beach in Encinitas gets 3.5 million visits a year, Ford said. Lifeguards are already busy watching for swimmers in distress, so they need the public’s help in practicing beach safety, officials said. “We can’t police it all on our own,” Ford said. “We need the public to be aware.” – Phil Diehl is a writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Olivenhain walking partners are cleaning up the street Dodds and Fontana have been picking up trash for nearly 25 years BY CHRIS SAUR For a pair of Encinitas residents, a morning walk has become more than just a leisurely stroll. Chris Fontana, 75, and Dot Dodds, 84, have been walking together for 25 years, and for much of that time, the pair has been picking up trash along Long Jack Road in Oilvenhain. They see it as a way to clean up at least a small part of the community they love. “It’s rural and it’s peaceful and we don’t want it to be trashy,” Fontana said of Olivenhain. “When we see something that’s out of place, we pick it up and put it in our own trash cans.” “We know what to do even if they don’t know what to do,” Dodds added about the litterbugs. Fontana moved to Olivenhain in 1990 and she began walking her dog along the local trails. About a year later, she was walking by Dodds’ nearby house and the two met and decided to start walking together. They were 50 and 59 years old and they enjoyed exploring all of the trails Olivenhain had to offer, especially back then. Since then, Fontana has had both of her knees worked on and Dodds had one of hers done last year. “Now we pretty much stay to the level

Over time, and as construction picked up along Long Jack Rd. creating more trash, the two decided to do something about it. And their neighbors are certainly grateful. “I’ve had people come up to me in Ralph’s and say thank you,” said Dodds, the more outspoken of the two. She added that the most interesting item they’ve found was red satin panties several years ago. Born in 1931 in Michigan to a British father and a Canadian mother, Dodds and her mother moved to Oregon in 1946. When a Navy sailor asked her to marry him, Dodds accepted and the young couple moved
down to Ocean Beach in 1948. Dodds returned to Oregon to have a child but, following a two-year hospital stay with tuberculosis, she moved back down to San Diego. She has three kids in all. Dodds went to the University of South Carolina at age 35, majoring in art but mostly trying to get out of the house. “My mother-in-law moved in with me. Wouldn’t you go to college?” She is still painting and has works displayed at Off Track Gallery and The San Diego Watercolor Society, where she is also a volunteer. She is also active at Seacoast Community Church. Dodds came to Olivenhain in 1981 with her second husband, Joe (aka “Mr. Wonderful”),

who passed away in 2001. “Olivenhain is a unique place, more about horses and agriculture,” Dodds explained. “I like it here. Chris and I have watched our kids grow up, we’ve watched the neighbors’ kids grow up and I can’t imagine being anywhere else.” Not surprisingly, Dodds and Fontana have struck up a great friendship over the years, as long as they stay away from one specific topic. “We share books, we share recipes, we share stories of our kids,” Fontana said. “We try to avoid politics because we don’t necessarily see eye to eye.” Both Fontana and Dodds have hosted Election Day polls at their houses for years, Fontana and her husband, Bob, doing it again last month. Both natives of Southern California, the Fontanas have been married for 59 years since meeting in La Jolla. They lived in Ocean Beach, then, in 1964, moved to University City, where they lived for 26 years before coming to Olivenhain. The Fontanas have three kids, seven grandkids and three great grandkids, and Chris still works as an enrolled agent, licensed by the IRS to prepare taxes for about 150 clients, many of whom are her friends. Like Dodds, Fontana does a lot of volunteer work, most recently serving as president of The Wednesday Club in San Diego. Fontana also was president of the San Diego History Center and the Ruben H. Fleet Science Center, among other things. And, of course, keeping Lone Jack Rd. free of trash.

Flower growers share stories at recent Heritage Museum event

Flower growers and their families share memories at the Sit Chat and Remember event on June 26.

round 60 past and present flower growers and their families got together on June 26 for the “Sit, Chat and Remember” event, presented by the San Dieguito Heritage Museum. The museum, with the California Humanities Community Stories Grant, invited growers to bring pictures and memories, and recorders were on at the five tables to document the information presented. The goal was to help tell the story of “Flowers, Farms and Families,” which is the mission of the Heritage Museum. The June 26 gathering was hosted at The Barn on the Leichtag property, with stories being shared at a table for former Ecke employees, as well as a table for Robert Hall, Ades and Gish and Thornton Growers family members. In addition, a professional video person was available in a quiet side room to record videos of special family and flower growing tales. The event was such a success that another is planned soon with a date to be announced. Credit for organizing the event goes to Evelyn Weidner; Jeff Charles, history professor at UC San Marcos; Zane, a UC San Marcos intern; Edgar Engert, former Ecke employee and museum board member; longtime Ecke and Leichtag employee Dempsey Sawyer; Jim Farley and the Leichtag organization; and seven dedicated “Table Monitors.”

Mentors work with fatherless boys to train for 100 Wave Challenge
S
an Diego-based nonprofit Boys to Men Mentoring Network (BTM) launched its summer surf series at Seaside Reef in Solana Beach on June 23. The summer surf nights are a chance for fatherless teenage boys and their mentors to bond, and train for the organization’s annual fundraiser, the 100 Wave Challenge. World Championship Tour surfer and Encinitas resident Damien Hobgood is participating in the 100 Wave Challenge this year, along with legendary surfer and motivational speaker Shaun Tomson and legendary surfer and surfboard shaper Duke Aipa, among others. The goal of the 100 Wave Challenge — which will be held Saturday, Sept. 17 in Mission Beach — is for each surfer to raise
at least $1,000 and attempt to surf 100 waves in one day. There will be sections in the water for long boards, short boards, stand-up paddle boards, boogie boards and body surfers. For more information on the 100 Wave Challenge, please visit 100wave.org. Launched in 1996, Boys to Men is a nonprofit group mentoring program that helps keep young men out of the criminal justice system and improve their access to higher education. It also provides boys a place where they can hear other boys and men tell the truth about the problems they face and a community where boys know they are not alone. BTM has mentored over 6,000 boys and has trained mentors in 24 states.
The city of Encinitas Parks and Recreation Department received a $1,500 donation from Healthy Day Partners to fund the initial start-up for an organic garden as part of the Seaside Day Camp. The goal of this project is to create a small organic garden at Glen Park Scout House to educate day camp students about urban agriculture, nutritional sciences and the benefits of eating farm-to-fork. The garden will also eventually provide fresh organic edibles for camp snacks that the students themselves helped grow. The donation was provided by Healthy Day Partners, a local nonprofit that supports programs that engage students through school gardens, wellness and environmental education, and is being used to fund the initial start-up of the small garden. The donation was used to cover the costs of garden planter boxes, organic soil, seeds and starter plants. Healthy Day Partners hosted an educational session at the camp on June 22 and taught campers how to plant organic plants and keep the garden healthy. Campers were able to get their hands into the soil, dig holes and place the individual plants in them. Glen Park is the city of Encinitas’s first organically managed park. “The community garden

Through hands-on interaction, the garden will allow the next generation of Encinitas residents to learn lifelong lessons about agriculture and the food they eat. We thank Healthy Day Partners for their support on this.” Healthy Day Partners was founded by Mim Michelove and Camille Sowinski to promote community health by assisting schools, school districts and the greater community with environmental and wellness education programs. These
efforts include providing guidance on school gardens and farms; waste reduction best practices, composting efforts and resource conservation initiatives. “Healthy Day Partners was created to provide our local schools and community with sustainable programs that help students and residents make informed, healthy lifestyle choices,” said Michelove. “Through our experiences at Ocean Knoll Elementary School’s Farm and the Straight to the Plate program, we’ve seen how impactful agricultural and nutrition programs can be. We are thrilled to support the City’s efforts to help educate the next generation about healthy food through this engaging community project.”

‘Starcrossed’ a life-changing lesson for first-time producer, director BY KAREN BILLING Local actor Ben Reed and Chase Mohseni, a graduate of La Jolla Country Day, have collaborated together on the recently released film “Starcrossed.” The movie represents over two years of work for a pair of well-earned firsts: Reed’s first time producing a film in his 25-year career as an actor and 28-year-old Mohseni’s first time as a writer and director of a full-length feature film. As a producer and actor, Reed helped bring Mohseni’s “rich and darkly romantic” script to life — a story of two lost souls Ben and Cat, both with older lovers, who make a connection over a matter of hours. The film also features Mischa Barton, Grant Harvey, Kristin Carey and Eric Roberts. “I’m so happy for Chase that he’s getting a great response from his first film written and directed,” Reed said.”I’m very proud of him in a fatherly kind of way.” Reed has lived in North County for 17 years, commuting to Los Angeles for work and returning home for his most important role as husband and father of five. His work over the years has included appearances on “Seinfeld,” “NCIS,” “CSI” and “House,” as well as playing Thor on the television show “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.” He had a role in the Academy Award-nominated “American Sniper,” playing Bradley Cooper’s character’s father in flashbacks. Mohseni, who now lives with his wife in Los Angeles, stoked a love for film at a young age, catching dollar films at the Silver Cinema in Rancho Bernardo, which has long since closed and is now a church. At La Jolla Country Day, he played on the same football team with Reed’s son and got to know the family and his teammate’s actor father. As his interest in film developed, Mohseni would often share scripts and short films with Reed and when he was in graduate school, he even had Reed star in one of his short films as a favor. Mohseni went on to earn his undergraduate degree in screenwriting and a Master of Fine Arts in film production from
Ben Reed, Chase Mohseni and Eric Roberts

Loyola Marymount University School of Film and Television. By 2013, he had made five short films but nothing close to the scale of this feature film. “’Starcrossed’ was the biggest project I’ve ever undertaken. A lot of naivety allowed me to actually do it and think anything is possible,” said Mohseni, who enlisted Reed to fine tune the script and characters and to serve as his producer. “It was a lot of fun, Ben is very collaborative and creative so it was wonderful to work with him,” Mohseni said. Getting “Starcrossed” to where it is now has been a long process. The film was shot over 16 days at the end of October 2013. Post-production work began in January 2014 and it premiered at the San Diego Film Festival in September 2014, one of just over 100 movies selected out of 3,000 submissions. After the festival came more editing and tweaks and a search for distributors. “You learn a lot about storytelling through the whole process, it made me a much better editor and made me a better writer,” Mohseni said. “I learned not to fight the film. The film tells you what it wants, you work for the film. If you can get past yourself and ego, you can make a really good film. The process has been very humbling but in the best way possible.”
The experience was just as eye-opening for Reed, who was serving as a producer for the first time. He learned a lot about raising financing, putting a team together and taking control of how the whole film looked more than just acting out his part and calling it a day. “It was a lot of work but it was also the most fun and most stress I’ve had in this business in 25 years. I loved the whole process of production, I loved being in the post-production studio and putting the film together,” Reed said. “Then you’re really making art.” In June, they celebrated the theatrical release of “Starcrossed” in Los Angeles, as well as the film’s release On Demand and online. “We knew we would have a short release in LA because of the type of independent film it is so most of our viewership will be On Demand and online,” Reed said. “We’ve had great feedback from iTunes, Amazon and Time Warner, and we’re very happy with how it’s been watched and purchased and reviewed.” Reed said it will be interesting how the process works now that they have begun international distribution. Reed now has his own production company, Buckup Productions, and is enjoying being on both sides of making a movie. He is currently working on the film “Ocassus,” set to begin shooting in Argentina. He is currently filming “The Meanest Man in Texas” and has finished work on “Persephone: Pictures at the End of the World,” in which he plays a preacher leading a group preparing for an asteroid to strike Earth. Mohseni is working on a few projects currently as a screenwriter. Ideally, he likes to write projects for himself to direct but he says there is a lot to be learned by writing on someone else’s team. He takes everything in this “addicting” process of making movies as a chance to grow. “It’s exciting to finally have the film out there and see people interacting with the film,” Mohseni said. “I take it all as a learning experience, you have to remove your emotions and learn through the process, take it all in your toolbox as you move forward.”

Encinitas native John Cresto focused on Futures League BY THOMAS JOYCE He had the opportunity to do exactly what he wanted to do when he grew up. At 18 years old, however, Encinitas native John Cresto decided he would give himself more time to mature. This summer, the rising sophomore and starting shortstop at Santa Clara University is playing for the Sanford Mainers of the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL). Last year, the conversation was a little different. Drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 18th round of the 2015 MLB draft out of Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego, Cresto had a decision to make: do what he’s wanted to do his whole life or further his education. He chose education. “Yeah there was a good consideration to it,” he said of signing. “In the end, it all worked out. I get to go to Santa Clara — a beautiful university, a great place. There, I’m improving my skills and bettering my mentality for baseball. And hopefully, my junior year, the draft comes again. “We’ll see what happens.” Typically, it is tough for teams to sway high schoolers drafted outside of the first 10 rounds to sign because there is a signing bonus cap. Essentially, they are only allowed to spend a certain amount and their top priorities tend to be their top picks. With that in mind, the Cubs might not have been able to make an enticing enough offer to sway Cresto away from school. Not to mention three strong

go to school first,” he said. “I’ve got great coaching at Santa Clara. It’s just going to allow me to become mature for the process, my junior or senior year.” As a freshman at Santa Clara, Cresto hit

.263 with six home runs and a .737 OPS in 49 games. Seeing Cresto as part of their team’s future, his coaches sent him and a handful of his teammates to the NECBL this summer. “It’s one of the best leagues in the country,” he said. “I’m here to get the best experience, face the best pitching and to improve my skills so we can come out on top next season. “It’s nice,” he added. “I’m seeing very good competition. The pitching is pretty decent and I get to meet all these great guys from all over the place. The coaches are great as well. It’s a good time.” Through 12 games with the Mainers, Cresto had hit .231 with a .348 on-base percentage. Cresto said this summer he is trying to stay consistent and trust his hands more. As a freshman, he struggled a bit defensively at shortstop. But he is confident he will be able to stick with it. “Shortstop’s one of the toughest positions on the field,” he said. “But it’s the most fun for me. I feel like if I continue to work on my speed and quickness, I’ll be able to stay with it.” Even if he does not stick with shortstop, it could be beneficial for him to keep playing it now as shortstops tend to be athletic enough to play nearly anywhere on the diamond. “You see a lot of the pro teams take shortstops or middle infielders and can move them all around,” said Cresto. “Wherever they want you, no matter the position, it’ll all work out.”

San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy adds canyon trail Steep climb takes hikers to commanding view of San Elijo reserve, ocean
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY PHIL DIEHL The San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy opened a new trail last week that takes hikers through a previously off-limits slot canyon to a high overlook of the surrounding preserve and the nearby ocean. The short trail expands the 7-mile system used by hikers and runners within the 979-acre lagoon ecological reserve at the border of Solana Beach and Encinitas. The reserve is maintained by the conservancy and the county and state parks departments. Annie’s Canyon Trail is “a great addition,” said conservancy Executive Director Doug Gibson. “There are two sections. One is a moderate climb, and the other is a little more difficult.” The slot canyon has always been part of the reserve in a remote area on the eastern end. It was difficult to reach and marked by no-trespassing signs that only “kept out.. the law-abiding citizens,” Gibson said. Others went there illegally to drink and smoke, he said. Some people call the area “the mushroom caves,” a reference to
mind-altering psilocybin mushrooms sometimes consumed there. The sandstone cliffs were covered with graffiti, carvings and spray paint. “People were destroying this sensitive area,” San Diego County Parks and Recreation Director Brian Albright said on June 22. “We are going to change that by opening it up and shining a light on it. It’s no longer off the beaten path.” The high sandstone bluffs are unlike anything else accessible to the public along Southern California’s coastal lagoons, Albright said. Letting people in and controlling illegal activity provides a positive public presence that keeps the ecological reserve healthy, he said. “One thing that makes the San Elijo Lagoon unique is that the conservancy is very robust and well established,” he said. “Their volunteer base is stronger than any other lagoon organization that I’m familiar with. It’s a great partnership for us.” A long-time patron of the conservancy donated $100,000 to cover the costs of the trail project, Gibson said.
BILL WECHTER
Finishing the harder route of the trail, hikers, left, reach the summit of Annie’s Canyon Trail, which offers views to the ocean. The hike was part of the trail’s opening ceremony held recently at San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve in Solana Beach and Encinitas. The new pathway is known as Annie’s Canyon Trail in her honor, though the donor wishes to remain anonymous. Conservancy volunteers helped build the trails, clean up years of trash, and install fencing, stairs and switchbacks, he said. They scraped
off the graffiti to return the canyon to its more natural state. Now that the area is open to the public, it will be closely watched for any new vandalism. Wildlife cameras have been installed in some areas and could document any destruction.
“We think this is the right thing to do,” Gibson said. “It’s a cool thing to get into a slot canyon right along the coast, something created millions of years ago. Every rain event it erodes a little more.” – Phil Diehl is a writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune

Color Your Community at July 9 mural celebration Several murals have already been finished in first phase of Alley Activation Program Interested local residents are invited to help beautify Encinitas at the Color Your Community event on Saturday, July 9. Encinitas 101 MainStreet Association is hosting the mural celebration from 4 to 7 p.m. that day in the alley between D and E streets where several murals have been completed as part of the first phase of the Alley Activation Program. A highlight of the celebration will be the opportunity for attendees to actually paint a portion of a new mural. There will be other hands-on art activities for all ages as well, and the muralists will be painting live on site, while others talk about their completed murals. In addition to live music from local musicians, multi-media artist and live art entertainer Amy Burkman will conduct choreographed speed painting performances on location during the celebration. Her large canvases will then be auctioned off to raise funds for more murals and alley enhancements. Also at the celebration is Tasha Wahl’s Butterfly Effect. Attendees will be invited to pose for a photo inside the giant butterfly on the wall of Detour Salon and post with the #broambethechange and #butterflyeffect to
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Snapchat, with Butterfly Effect donating $1 for each post up to $5,000. The Annual Switchfoot BroAm is at Moonlight Beach that same day from noon to 5 p.m., raising money for six San Diego charities. “We love cross promoting these two events,” said Thora Guthrie, executive director of Encinitas 101 MainStreet Association.“The Switchfoot guys give so much back to Encinitas and enhancing our community is what E101 is all about too. It’s no coincidence that our events are on the same day, giving everyone that comes to downtown Encinitas that many more opportunities to support our community.” The Alley Activation Program was initiated by Encinitas 101 MainStreet as a way to add public art by local artists to an otherwise blighted area of downtown Encinitas. In a short time, the program has been successful in increasing pedestrian traffic and decreasing unsavory activity that had existed there for decades. The Alley Activation Program has received local acclaim and support by the city of Encinitas through Mizel Family Foundation grants. Additionally, the program was awarded a Community Enhancement grant from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. Contributions to the Alley Activation Program can be made by contacting Guthrie at 760-943-1950 or tguthrie@encinitas101.com.

Project Left Behind, started by Danielle Dietz-LiVolsi and her husband Kevin, is backed by donations as well as a portion of the profits from the couple’s NuttZo organic seed and nut butter. After they adopted their two sons from Ukraine, they become committed to helping orphans around the world. In addition to Hogar Semillas de Jesus Children’s Home in Peru, Project Left Behind also supports an orphanage in Nepal and one in India. NuttZo was developed in Dietz-Livolsi’s kitchen to feed her two adopted boys, who were severely nutrient deficient. The company launched in 2008 and today NuttZo is blending two flavors — the Peanut Pro and non-peanut Power Fuel that are sold in all Southern California Whole Foods and Jimbo’s. More than just giving, Dietz-LiVolsi has been to Peru four times, Nepal twice and once to India last year. The May 11-23 trip was Project Left Behind’s second voluntour trip to Peru. Dietz-LiVolsi’s focus when planning the itinerary is always on other people’s stories and how the volunteers can all be inspired by them. “Our stops are always about one person who is changing the world, one person at a time,” Dietz-LiVolsi said of the “phenomenal” and “amazing” people the group encounters. “It’s a really inspirational trip for the volunteers to go on.” Their first stop in Cusco, Peru was Casa Mantay, a group home for teen mothers who have escaped abuse and neglect. “The teen moms can be 12 to 16 years old with children so it can be heart-wrenching. But it is a safe place for mothers to live and heal together in a healthy, enjoyable living environment that develops social, educational, psychological and career skills,” Dietz-LiVolsi said. The women brought suitcases full of diapers and gently-used clothing for the kids and young moms. The group next traveled to the Kausay

Wasi Clinic in the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Coya, Peru, run by an American woman, Sandy Prado, and her Peruvian husband, Guido Prado, previously Peace Corps volunteers. The couple, now in their 70s, brings in teams of doctors to facilitate the small clinic — offering everything from dentistry to general surgery. They provide healthcare to some of Peru’s poorest population, primarily farmers, connecting with people in the area through radio broadcast and by a messenger riding a motorcycle into the Andean Mountain Range telling people what kind of doctors will be visiting. “The clinic is small and quaint but what they’re doing is huge,” Dietz-LiVolsi said. The group brought donations of medical supplies and eyeglasses. From the clinic, the group visited the Project Left Behind’s supported orphanage in Urubamba, Peru. The Hogar Semillas de Jesus Children’s Home was started 10 years ago by Peruvian educator Isabel Baufume. She receives zero funding from any local or government institutions and the 21 children in the home attend a private school which does not charge for education but they still must provide uniforms, books and school materials for the children. “They need a consistent group to help them meet their basic needs of food, clothing and shelter for these 21 children,” Dietz-LiVolsi said. “They are the happiest kids.” The volunteers worked hard over two days to build a stone floor and a garden for the home. “They were tired and dirty each day but still had big smiles on their faces,” Dietz-Livolsi said. On the last day, the group made lasagna with the children — a favorite memory for many of the women. The group had fundraised before the trip and brought clothing and toys to the children, as well as letters from Junior Girl Scout Troop 1085 in Encinitas. The troop has supported the orphanage for years — fundraising in the past to purchase a stand-up freezer and a dryer for the home. “To be honest, the letters were the favorite thing of everything we brought,” Dietz-Livolsi said, noting the children happily read each one.

A winning recipe for healthy relationships with food Jimbo’s co-owner Colleen Duffy-Someck writes ‘Dancing in the Kitchen’ cookbook BY KAREN BILLING In Colleen Duffy-Someck’s kitchen, every meal is a different dance. In her new cookbook “Dancing in the Kitchen” she writes about a two-step stirring of beans, a twirl for the carrots and following the leads of hunger and fullness in her own healthy relationship with food. The co-owner of the “Jimbo’s…Naturally” grocery chain wrote the part cookbook, part self-help memoir to show people the steps in creating healthy, delicious food and to help inform decisions about how and why we eat our food. “Cooking to feed yourself and those you love is a lovely dance, a dance that is definitely worth learning,” said Duffy-Someck. “It is my honor to share my story and recipes with you in hopes that they may show you a new way of dancing in the kitchen.” Duffy-Someck has always had a passion for food and making healthy food taste good. When she moved to California from Minnesota, Duffy-Someck worked at a macrobiotic restaurant just down the street from Jimbo’s’ first store on 30th and University. Eventually she found her way into working at Jimbo’s behind the deli counter, making her specialty spins on nori rolls and Maple Nut Crunch Granola – both store favorites whose recipes are included in the book. She also met her future husband
and owner of Jimbo’s, Jim “Jimbo” Someck. The two eventually began dating, on the one-year-anniversary of the store in 1985. After marrying in 1988, the chain and their family continued to grow: They celebrated the openings of the Carmel Valley, Escondido and Carlsbad stores, as well as children Michael, Josh, Noah and Sara. New Jimbo’s have been added in 4S-Ranch and Horton Plaza and there are plans to expand into a bigger store at Del Mar Highlands Town Center. A lot of the recipe development for the items in the cookbook came from making all of her family’s food from scratch. For years she doled out recipes here and there for friends but didn’t think seriously about publishing a cookbook until she started working on the book four years ago. As she started typing, the stories just started to flow out and she surprised herself by sharing the story of her 20-year battle with bulimia and anorexia. “I never thought I would share that story,” Duffy-Someck said. “I must’ve just needed to do that.” Her eating disorder began after she moved away from home to go to college and it grew out of severely limiting herself as to what she could and couldn’t eat. She would lose it when she ate something that she wasn’t “supposed” to. While she lightly touches on her struggles
with an eating disorder in the book, it mostly deals with her recovery and help for others to do the same. She writes about quality not quantity, finding a balance and being mindful. “If you want to eat something not so healthy, sit with it consciously, eat until you’re satisfied, always stay connected,” said Duffy-Someck, who doesn’t hesitate to have a croissant with her coffee, savoring every bite and eating until she’s satisfied. She listens to her body and pays attention to what her body wants and needs. “Tea really helped me. Drinking tea was a time to sit and be quiet, take a breath.” While the recipes in “Dancing in the
Kitchen” are all vegan, she said the book is for all diets. “My book is not written to tell people how to eat,” she said, noting she encourages people to make the dishes their own by adding meat, cheese or butter to their banana pancakes. “That’s your dance with your food.” For her vegan-tailored recipes, she always offers an alternative — while her recipe may list agar flakes, simple gelatin will do. She admits there will be some variations depending on the types of products used — not all maple syrups or almond butters are the same and consistencies will differ, it’s all a matter of experimenting. Even salt can taste different and veggies can vary depending on the season. “Don’t think you’ve failed,” she advised. The book includes recipes for grains like mullet and quinoa, salads and soups. “My kids weren’t big on salads so soups were a way to get them a lot of veggies,” Duffy-Someck said of recipes for pinto bean and miso soup. Her book includes a recipe for clear broth, which she likes to call “liquid gold”— she uses it for making rice, preparing soup or as an alternative for tea. Duffy-Someck is also a big advocate for beans — on any given day you can open her fridge to find cooked beans. While busy lives can make it difficult to make meals at home from scratch — prepping beans ahead of time will ensure you have some on hand to toss on salads, make into hummus or use in SEE FOOD, A17

What Profile? When Spider Veins Happen to Young People Spider veins—the bane of elderly women, or so the myth goes. But the truth is that anyone can get spider veins, including younger women and even men. So what are they, exactly? Spider veins aren’t quite the same thing as varicose veins, which are the more dilated and ropelike veins under the skin and which can be quite painful (and possibly harmful to the health if left untreated). Instead, spider veins, known as telangiectasias, are enlarged venules, which are the very small veins and blood vessels. Fortunately, in most cases, spider veins are painless. There are many reasons people get spider veins—they are caused by increased pressure on the veins. As we age, our venous walls weaken and then blood can pool (the
typical cause of varicose veins, for example). But what about in younger people? Most commonly, spider veins are associated with pregnancy, as the body undergoes a tremendous amount of pressure. But who else is at risk? Similarly, people who are obese are more prone to them as their blood vessels are also under greater pressure, as the body has to work hard to circulate the blood up from the feet and to the heart. But the truth is that perfectly healthy and even fit people can get these pesky veins. Young athletes are often prone to them, especially behind the knees, as their strenuous workouts will elevate the blood pressure, and their legs often take a pounding. Spider veins appear when the body’s vascular system is under stress. The extra pressure in the veins makes them bulge and expand. In fact, even though they may be unsightly, they are quite normal. For some people, spider veins are genetic, which means nothing you can do can truly prevent them from occurring, and they can show up at any time. It’s part of your makeup. And if your parent had spider veins as a teenager, there is a good chance you will, too.
The appearance of spider veins is not something that should worry you, and in general, there are no health risks associated. However, there are some very rare cases of genetic conditions that can cause spider veins to appear in multiple patches on the arms and torso, so if you spot these, have them checked out just to be safe. It’s always good to have any type of venous condition on your medical record, and you’ll always want to know of any genetic predisposition that can lead to something more harmful than a cluster of dark veins. But you shouldn’t live in fear of spider veins; in most of the cases, they are completely benign. You should be aware, though, that they won’t go away on their own. To actually remove spider veins, you will need to undergo the very simple laser therapy. When treating spider veins with laser therapy, the laser damages the blood vessels, making them clot and dry up, at which point, they will get reabsorbed by your tissue. This non-invasive treatment can be done in the office on a very short lunch break, for instance, or after track practice or yoga class. This treatment is different from sclerotherapy, generally used for the

treatment of varicose veins, which entails an injection of medicine directly into the blood vessel. The difference with laser therapy is that after treatment, you should avoid sun exposure for up to ten days to prevent a browning or discoloration of the skin. As with any laser treatment to the skin, there may be a small amount of spotting that appears in the area of treatment, but this will go away in a short amount of time and is nothing you should worry about. Be aware, though, that once you’ve gotten spider veins, they are likely to return, especially if you continue the same activities that caused them in the first place. If your veins are prone to swelling and bulging when under pressure, the rest of your veins will continue to do so; treatment is not a cure or prevention. For some people, spider veins can cause insecurity—they aren’t called “butterfly veins,” after all—and there is nothing wrong with wanting them removed. The key with laser therapy—as with every treatment—is to choose a doctor or specialist who is board-certified and experienced in the procedure.

OPINION
OUR READERS WRITE Veterans care about gun violence in America A dangerous man entered a nightclub and killed 49 people and wounded dozens more as last call approached. It was the deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman in the United States. In San Diego County in July 1984, 21 people were killed and 19 wounded at a fastfood restaurant. It was the second deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman in the United States. In January 2011, a man walked up to a supermarket parking lot and shot former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords through the head at point-blank range, and shot 16 others. There are many others. This has become a national crisis. Mass killings and gun violence in our communities have reached epidemic proportions, and our communities have become battlegrounds. Not too long ago, I wore a uniform and took an oath to protect our Constitution and the Second Amendment. As a combat experienced
veteran, I am outraged how we as a country continue to allow military style assault weapons and high capacity magazines — designed to kill enemy combatants — to be purchased so easily at home. Sensible and comprehensive rules that address gun violence and protect the public are long overdue. We may not be able to save every person from every act of violence, but by enacting sensible measures, I know we can save many American lives. To victims, families of victims and survivors from Orlando, San Ysidro, Tucson, and the many others — I care. A vast majority of Americans support sensible public safety laws that prevent gun violence and promote responsible gun ownership. We must end loophole-ridden laws that allow known or suspected terrorists from easily obtaining military assault style weapons in America, and end the private sale ‘’loophole’’ for unlicensed sellers at gun shows. Senators Diane Feinstein and Chris Murphy proposed laws that addressed the easy access
dangerous people and terrorists have to military style assault weapons and high capacity magazines. According to the Governmental Accountability Office, known or suspected terrorists pass firearm-related background checks 91 percent of the time. Simply put, Senator Feinstein’s amendment would say to those on a terrorist watch list, you cannot buy a weapon in America. I ask my fellow Veterans to be courageous, again be patriots, and protect America at home. I ask you to support reasonable rules for assault weapons and high capacity magazines to protect our communities. I recently joined former astronaut Mark Kelly and many other veterans at Americans for Responsible Solutions. We advocate for responsible gun ownership policies and measures to reduce gun violence in America. I encourage you to do the same. Visit us at www.americansforresponsiblesolutions.org.

Important to act fast to treat stroke TO YOUR HEALTH
W
hen someone has a stroke, minutes can make a difference. Stroke happens when a blood vessel that supplies oxygen and nutrients to the brain becomes blocked, often by a blood clot that travels from elsewhere in the body. The longer the vessel remains blocked, the worse the damage may be. Deprived of oxygen, the brain tissue begins to die, and the functions controlled by the dying areas — such as speech, movement or cognitive abilities —can be severely and irreversibly damaged. If enough of the brain tissue dies, the stroke will be fatal. Immediate medical care is critical to prevent the loss of brain tissue. If the blood vessels can be opened within three to six hours, there is a significant chance of recovery. “A paradigm shift in the way we manage strokes has occurred during the last two years,” said Frank Coufal, M.D., neurosurgeon and co-director of the Comprehensive Stroke Center at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. “Our community should be increasingly mindful of this change so that they can take advantage of the new life-saving technologies that are available.” Know the Symptoms and Act F.A.S.T. The sooner stroke is identified and treated, the better the chances for recovery. If you suspect someone is having a stroke, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association recommends using the F.A.S.T. test. FACE: Ask the person to smile. Does one
side of the face droop? ARMS: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? SPEECH: Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Does the speech sound slurred or strange? TIME: Time is crucial with stroke treatment. If you observe any of these signs even if the symptoms don’t last - call 911 and get the person to the nearest stroke center or hospital as soon as possible. Make a note of the time when the first symptoms appeared, as this can be important to treatment. In addition to F.A.S.T. symptoms, other stroke signs can include sudden confusion, problems understanding speech, vision problems in one or both eyes, dizziness or problems with movement or coordination, and severe headache. New Treatment May Reverse Damage New proven treatments can minimize or even reverse stroke damage. A procedure known as an embolectomy may be used on patients who have had a major stroke and are treated within six hours of the onset of the stroke. Due to the severity of the stroke, these patients have suffered a significant disability, such as weakness on one side of the body, problems talking or seeing, or loss of movement. In such cases, the physician may be able to insert a long, thin tube called a catheter through the patient’s groin, direct it up to the blocked blood vessel, and deploy a type of stent that immediately opens the blood vessel and attaches to the clot. The physician is then able to remove the clot and immediately restore blood flow to that area of the brain. “I have seen patients who come in having had devastating strokes — they can’t walk,
they can’t talk, they can’t see on one side — and physicians use this device,” said Mary Kalafut, M.D., neurologist and co-director of the Comprehensive Stroke Center at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. “The blood flow is restored and they are completely back to normal. This is very exciting technology.” Technology Offers Insight into Stroke Causes In some cases, physicians may not be able to determine why patients have had strokes even after they do complete work-ups. Now, a new technology may be able to help. A tiny device — about half the size of a pinkie finger — implanted just beneath the skin of the chest can monitor a person’s heartbeat continuously for up to three years to detect a condition known as atrial fibrillation (Afib), which causes the heart to beat erratically and is a leading cause of stroke. Often, patients with Afib don’t know they have it because it comes and goes, and may not be active during a routine physical. By monitoring patients for several months, this device enables physicians to identify Afib and, if necessary, prescribe blood-thinning medication to prevent blood clots and reduce stroke risk. Like other types of cardiovascular conditions, stroke risk can be reduced by not smoking, getting regular exercise, eating a heart-healthy diet, maintaining a healthy body weight and keeping blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar under control. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff at Scripps Health.

FROM DEATH, A3 fragmentary and has not been completely verified. It is based, in part, on hearsay and is intended for early information use rather than being a formal investigative report. “The Medical Examiner's Office has completed the autopsy regarding this incident. The decedent has been identified as North County resident Yvonne Marie Paquette, age 47. The cause and manner of death are pending toxicology results. There were no signs of obvious trauma to Paquette. “Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Homicide Detail at (858) 974-2321, after hours at (858) 565-5200. You can also remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477 and be eligible for up to a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.” The first two paragraphs of this report were by Debbi Baker, a writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune.
FROM CANOPIES, A3 support from the Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs) program. Working with a coalition of San Diego stakeholders led by CleanTECH San Diego at the start of its energy project, SDUHSD was one of the local participants eligible to access funding from $154 million in allocations to finance renewable energy projects for public facilities under CREBs. The total CREBs allocations to the San Diego region made up 19 percent of the total allocations going to public agencies nationwide at the beginning of SDUHSD’s solar construction. “Using a dynamic set of funding streams to support our project, the solar canopies have saved the district millions so far. And that money is put right back into the classroom,” said SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt. “On top of that, students are able to witness firsthand how energy efficiency and sustainability affects each and every one of them as a result of the solar on campus.” The positive impact of SDUHSD’s solar project will continue to guide new development across the district, including the new Earl Warren Middle School campus, which will include solar generation as part of its construction.. – Submitted press release
FROM FOOD, A15 a soup throughout the week. The Mexican Lasagna is something that everyone seems to like, using beans and corn tortillas and sauce all layered in. Duffy-Someck likes to add an egg to the top, she puts cheese on one-half so Jimbo can have his vegan half and her kids add slices of avocado and salsa. Some of the more unique items in the cookbook are her desserts — such as her pumpkin pie filling with fresh-cooked pumpkin and almond butter and the almond crème topping (in place of whipped cream) for people who don’t have dairy. Grandma Duffy’s Cookies are made without Crisco, white flour or white sugar. The book also includes instruction on making your own nut milks — encouraging people think beyond almond and try for cashews or macadamia nut milk that can be used in recipes for pancakes, pies, muffins and cakes. While the cover was shot professionally, Duffy-Someck’s 13-year-old daughter Sara did all the photography for the book during a “cooking marathon” earlier this year. More than anything, Duffy-Someck hopes that readers will come away armed with tips and tricks to build their own healthy relationship with food. “If my suggestions don’t work for you, don’t quit until you find out what works for you, because we are all worth it. Don’t let anything stop you from feeding yourself well,” she said. “There are a lot of ways to do things. This is one way, take what you want and leave what you don’t. Choosing to not be afraid and make mistakes is how I was able to fly and I’d love for everybody to be able to do that.” “Dancing in the Kitchen” is available at all Jimbo’s locations, Good on Ya Deli in Encinitas, The Curious Fork in Solana Beach, Anjali Lifestyle Spa in Carmel Valley and online at www.DancingintheKitchen.io and Amazon.com.

Of Wylot’s 10 years playing guitar, nine of them have been as a member of the Encinitas Guitar Orchestra, where he’s learned from director Peter Pupping, who Wylot said has been a huge influence. Though Wylot could see himself playing at coffee shops or weddings throughout his life, he wanted to take the opportunity to play at his own recital before heading off to college later this summer. “It was really just for my piece of mind, doing a final concert before I leave because I don’t know what path I’m going to take with guitar after I leave college,” he explained. “So it was great to be able to play all of the pieces that I know really well.” At the hourlong show, Wylot performed 15 songs without a hitch for a crowd of about 50 people.

expected,” Wylot said. “I raised a lot of money for college and expenses.” While there are a lot of his peers playing guitar, Wylot likes the fact that his focus is on a more challenging, less popular genre. “Playing classical guitar is special,” he said. “I know a lot of people that play electric or steel-string and stuff like that … and they all play the same songs. I’ve only met one other person (my age) who plays classical guitar. It’s extremely hard and a lot more focused on the details, which I like.” But despite all of that focus on guitar, Wylot also finds time for other activities. He’s played hockey for La Jolla Country Day’s varsity team and club programs such as the San Diego Gulls, the Oilers and the Jaguars. He used to build drones as a business, but now it’s just a personal hobby. “I’ve just always loved doing stuff, doing projects,” Wylot said. “I build drones pretty seriously, they are like $6,000 or $8,000 drones. I do everything on them, the programming, which is a huge part of it, and just building everything, there are a lot of parts.” After college, Wylot wants to move back to the area that he’s spent his whole life and get a job as an engineer, with one caveat: “If I get drafted into the NHL, I would definitely do that, but I doubt it.” competitions for the three-week summer music festival.

FROM SUITS, A1 Meanwhile, it is that original settlement with the BIA that is the subject of a lawsuit filed June 27 by the Encinitas Residents Alliance (ERA), a coalition of Encinitas neighbors that is getting support from the nonprofit advocacy group North County Advocates (NCA). The aim of this newest lawsuit is to challenge the settlement agreement with the BIA as unconstitutional. The ERA would like to see that pact invalidated, and specifically to overturn the Council’s approval of the CityMark Hymettus Estates density bonus project in Leucadia, one of six pipeline projects ERA claims are treated specially as a result of the BIA deal. “This illegal agreement binds the City in their decision making and gives unique, preferential treatment to six density bonus projects including Hymettus Estates,” Bruce Ehlers, a former Encinitas Planning Commissioner and NCA board member said in a news release. “It changes how they calculate the number of units permitted and the net result is almost double the number of housing units allowed by our local zoning.” At issue in each of the three lawsuits is the previous city ordinance regarding density bonus-related development and its incongruity with California’s density bonus law, which allows private developers to build more homes on a property than city restrictions allow if they agree to build some low-income homes in their project. The amount of homes that must be set aside as low-income is calculated by multiplying the net acreage of a property by the number of dwelling units. In July 2014, the Encinitas City Council voted to round fraction numbers down in that calculation and this decision was challenged by BIA, and later DCM, as going against state law. As part of the June 27 settlement with DCM, the city agreed to round up any fraction in that calculation, a move it felt comfortable with in no small part because the state legislature is currently considering AB 2501, which is supported by the governor and would require cities to round up in that calculation. In addition, the city is already placing the proposed Housing Element Update and related general plan and zoning amendments

Finally, in the June 27 settlement, DCM will receive $125,000 in attorneys’ fees in exchange for the release of the claims alleged in the lawsuit, including a challenge to Prop A itself. According to a city release “the City Council considered waiting to see whether AB 2501 would be enacted or seeking a court decision at trial. Unfortunately, the anticipated cost of continuing the lawsuit through either of those paths was extremely high.” The release went on to say that “the Council recognized that in Encinitas where projects are relatively small, the effect of rounding up is typically to increase slightly the number of market-rate units and not affordable units. Despite strong local sentiment to persist in rounding down, after taking into consideration the legal expense of pursuing this issue, the low probability of prevailing in court, and the likelihood that State law will require the City to round up, the Council decided it was fiscally prudent to agree on the settlement terms.” ERA contends in its lawsuit that allowing the density bonus calculation to be rounded up instead of down at Hymettus Estates (approved May 25, 2016 for development at 378 Fulvia Street) and not reducing net acreage due to a large stormwater detention pond on the property goes contrary to municipal code. It goes on to say that “these advantages are significant for developer CityMark because rounding down would only permit seven houses to be built using density bonus, not the nine houses the city approved.” Without density bonus, only five houses could be built. The lawsuit also challenges the city’s approval of the Hymettus Estates Environmental Impact Report (EIR), which ERA says “failed to adequately disclose and analyze all environmental impacts and the violation of Encinitas’ Municipal Code when it exceeded height limits and ignored other code requirements. Further, the City’s failure to disclose communications with the developer violated ERA’s right to public records.” The city of Encinitas had no comment on the ERA lawsuit, according to city spokesman Chance Shay.

I look forward to collaborating with residents and city staff to provide meaningful experiences for everyone enjoying these community treasures.” According to Encinitas Deputy Mayor Lisa Shaffer in her weekly newsletter, O’Grady will stay with the city as its interim Assistant City Manager while Brust searches to fill the position permanently. “Jim has done a great job as acting Parks and Recreation Director,” Shaffer wrote, “and I know the City Manager will be much more effective with the Assistant City Manager position filled.

FROM VICTIMS, A3 commenter said. Hannah was a student at Verde Valley School, a boarding and day school in Sedona, Ariz. Her mother lives in Oregon. “She was so smart and she was just full of life,” Leyla Kaya, a friend and former employee of Michael Arya, said during a phone interview Wednesday. Kaya said she had struck up a friendship with Mia Shin, 56, the real estate broker who was close friends with Michael Arya, and had tried to look out for Hannah as much as she could after the father’s death. She said Shin was one of the two adults found inside the house. Kaya said she, Shin and Hannah spent time together in downtown San Diego on Saturday while they waited to pick up one of Hannah’s friends from the airport. Hannah had flown into town that day as well. “The energy in her eyes, I was just so amazed by her,” said Kaya, who said she had known and spent time with Hannah when she was a much younger child. She described the teen as “savvy” and “intelligent,” a young woman with a mind for politics. “Michael was a walking encyclopedia,” Kaya said. “And his daughter was his little prodigy.” Shin’s sister also confirmed Wednesday that Shin was one of the two adults found in the home on Via de la Valle. The sister, who asked
not to be identified by name, said the family grew up in La Jolla — Shin went to La Jolla High School — and was visiting with Hannah at the time of their deaths. The sister said Shin was acting as a “chaperone” to Hannah, who had returned to her father’s home in San Diego during her time off from school. The sister said Shin had known Michael Arya for many years (they were once neighbors) and had tried to keep in touch. She said when she spoke to Shin briefly on Sunday, Shin was making dinner for Hannah and a teenage friend. She described her sister as a tough but well-respected businesswoman, who thrived in the “dog-eat-dog” world of real estate. The sister and Kaya said they believe Shin was an innocent victim in the slayings. As of Wednesday, only one autopsy had been completed and authorities were waiting for the Medical Examiner’s Office to finish the others before releasing information , sheriff’s homicide Lt. Kenn Nelson said. He said Michael Arya’s girlfriend, Marina Ryzhkova, 29, from Russia, was not involved in the slayings and had left the country. The investigation began with a phone call to the Sheriff ’s Department shortly before noon on Monday from a friend of one of the victims reporting possible child abuse, Nelson said. – Dana Littlefield is a writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Sun FireDefense bringing safety and protection to North County residents Jim Moseley, the founder and CEO of Sun FireDefense, is going global. His company recently was awarded a contract to support new high-rise development in Dubai. But residents of the North County area of San Diego can also take advantage of his products’ technology developed for the NASA Space Shuttle and expanded to protect homes from being destroyed by fire.
Space Shuttle and the MARS project. These properties keep oxygen out of the wood in a way that never gives the fire a chance to ignite. You can hold a 5000F map gas torch directly on a piece of SPF3000-treated wood for five minutes without it catching fire. This is three times the temperature of a house fire.
A Los Angeles-area resident, Moseley’s fire-protection applications – including a clear spray and window coverings – earned him the 2014 Patrick Soon-Shiong Los Angeles Business Journal’s Innovator of the Year award.
Q: What other products are there like yours? What sets yours apart?
“We are trying to get it out to as many homes as we can,” Moseley said. Question: Is it true that 50 percent of homes that burn to the ground aren’t even in the direct path of a fire? Jim Moseley: Yes, the burning embers travel miles beyond the actual fire and even with A-rated shingles and tiles that are difficult to ignite, the embers build enough heat on the roof to transfer through to the plywood underneath the roof to burn it down. Q: How can your product help? Can you explain the process a homeowner goes through to properly treat their home with your products? JM: Just by merely spraying the plywood or decking underneath the roof and under the eves, this greatly reduces the risk of this happening when applied by our licensed contractors. Also, by installing our SPF3000 window coverings, it will keep the radiant heat from a wildland fire from blowing out the windows and the fire burning the home down from the inside out. Q: What is the science behind your product – basically, how does it work? JM: We have several ingredients which include alumina, zirconia and inconnel. These are all aerospace components that were used on both the
JM: Really this is the only long-term solution, meaning seven to 10 years, guaranteed for five years. The only other alternatives are gels and foams that have to be applied just before the fire or they dry up and become ineffective. The problem with that is two-fold: Getting to the house while the fire is in close proximity as well as the waste of money if the house is gelled or foamed and the fire never reaches the house. Q: How much does it cost to treat a home with your spray product? JM: It costs $3 to $4 per square foot of area treated not including the labor which usually runs between 50 cents to $1 per square foot. On older shake wood homes we recommend two coats because the extra absorption is so important. Q: What is your main hope in treating more homes with your products? JM: Our goal is to save at least the 50 percent of the homes that aren’t in the direct path of the fire and reduce the loss of human life and property that can’t be easily replaced. Building a new home costs a minimum of $200 per square foot. Why not spend $3 to $4 per square foot extra to protect it for the peace of mind? People don’t realize how much money is spent just in relocating as well as time to rebuild after a fire. It’s not merely the house, but all of the contents, family heirlooms and art that is being protected along with the structure that is important to consider.
