Encinitas Juniors are SoCal champs ELL is now competing for a spot in the Little League World Series

BY CHRIS SAUR There are 325 local Little League programs in Southern California and, in the Juniors division, Encinitas Little League stands atop them all.

After earning the SoCal title by defeating Dos Pueblos in the three-game Division III championship series July 30 (which followed District 31, Section 6 and D-III South Subdivision crowns), ELL is currently playing in the Western Regional tournament in Vancouver, Wash.

If the locals emerge as champs from the 13-team event, which ends Aug. 10, they are off to the Little League Juniors World Series in Michigan the following week.

The regional tourney began Aug. 3 with each of the teams — Nevada, Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Wyoming, Utah, NorCal (Walnut Creek) and an all-star host squad from Vancouver — competing in a pair of pool-play games. Encinitas opened against Walnut Creek on Aug. 3. The top 10 seeds after pool play begin a single-elimination tournament on

BRIAN STRANGE – ARTFULLY SELLING OCEAN LIVING

BY CHRIS SAUR In his many years of working with San Diego’s homeless youth, Cardiff resident Jeffrey Sitcov has learned that the most important part of helping those kids is gaining trust.

Doors of Change, a nonprofit founded by Sitcov, has helped fund and develop programs in San Diego’s Youth Emergency Shelter (formerly Storefront Shelter) since Sitcov closed his physical therapy practice to start the organization 15 years ago.

“I wanted to do something for kids, because it’s getting worse … the escalation of violence,” Sitcov said. “There’s got to be some organizations that are helping these youth make better choices. I had no idea there were homeless kids.

“I went to the shelter and they said to me, you need to go on outreach and see how we get the kids off the streets. That night changed my life.”

Encinitas man’s award-winning short film highlights a local artist Watch ‘26th and Logan’ for free online

BY CHRIS SAUR There is a beautiful symmetry between the filmmaking process and the subject matter in Encinitas resident Brian Mahoney’s new documentary “26th and Logan.” And the end result has earned Mahoney acceptance into four film festivals so far and a pair of awards, winning at the Hollywood International Independent Documentary Awards and, most recently, an Award of Merit at the Best Short Film Festival.

But just as important to Mahoney as the awards and festivals, is allowing people to see his film, which chronicles local artist Josh Hunter as he creates a piece from scratch with no prior planning and only five days to finish. Less than two years after finishing his official training — an inclusive year-long accelerated program through the UC San Diego

Digital Arts Center, Mahoney, 43, was talented enough to figure out a way to make a compelling film about the creative process.

The subject of “26th and Logan” — which can be seen for free at www.vaxonfilms.com — is Hunter, 39, creating a piece from scratch in the empty room of a refurbished building in a period of only five days. At the ensuing show, the artwork of Hunter and many other artists in other rooms served as a way to showcase the property.

“I just love to tell stories and the reason I really love documentaries is there is no script that I’ve given anybody,” Mahoney said.

“They are just doing what they do and I’m following them around. Then I come home with all of this film and it’s like a big jigsaw puzzle and I have to decide ‘what’s the story I’m going to tell.’ ” Hunter added: “After the first day, I didn’t even really notice he was there. We are good friends and we hang out a lot, so he wasn’t really in my way and I never really

what was going to happen … and yet still making something out of that pressure. And he really captured that.”

Mahoney was born and raised in Las Vegas and worked in the family business — casinos — until moving to Encinitas in 2007. He lives with his wife Shannon and three kids, 6-year-old Paxton, 5-year-old Van and daughter Lennon (one and a half), who are actually responsible for Mahoney finding his newest passion.

“I started doing a lot of video work just filming my children. I started editing the videos together and the more I started doing it, I really enjoyed it,” Mahoney said. “I went to UCSD …

and graduated last September and then created my own company, Vaxon Films, where I do a lot of promotional videos for people, music videos, live events etc.

“I do that other work, but documentary films are really what I love to do and where my passion is. I love telling these local stories about people doing interesting things.”

Mahoney was living on Beach Street in Encinitas in 2011, when Hunter moved to the city and settled there as well. As neighbors for the next three years (Hunter moved to Mission Hills in 2014), the two struck up a friendship that eventually resulted in collaborating for “26th and Logan.”

“We’d always talked about doing something together, just because he is in that art form and I am in the art form of making film and we just knew at some point we would be able to come together,” Mahoney said.

“When that opportunity popped up for him … we didn’t really have any idea what it was going to be.

Once I started following him around … the more I thought it could be something bigger.”

The film community seems to agree, as Mahoney’s documentary has been accepted to the 2016 Miami Independent Film Festival and Los Angeles CineFest, among others.

Though a relative newcomer to the circuit, “26th and Logan” isn’t Mahoney’s first film to earn accolades, as “Down and

Out: The story of Forrest Lang” — a short documentary sharing the story of a tattoo artist and the struggles he has gone through in his life — has won three awards, including at the 2016 San Diego Film Festival, and “Kids for Peace” was an official selection of the 2016 Love International Film Festival.

Hunter is no stranger to artistic success either, including co-creating and doing the illustrations for “The 27s: The Greatest Myth of Rock & Roll,” which took silver at the 2009 Independent Publisher Book Award for Popular Culture.

From Atlanta, Hunter moved to Colorado to go to business school before realizing art was his calling.

He worked on the book project after getting an art degree from The Art Institute of Chicago.

Married to his wife Ginny, who is featured in the piece he completes in “26th and Logan,” Hunter works as an artist for himself — check out his work at www.joshhunterart.com — and has a company called Helicon Creative, an independent company that does marketing, digital and branding work for companies.

Recently, he’s been working on creating a new body of work as he steps out of the traditional gallery space and looks more toward working on social media and digital platforms.

“That particular project (depicted in “26th and Logan)” has really pushed me to grow quite a bit,” Hunter said.

NCTD must up enforcement due to increase Ecke Family YMCA names Reese as in unauthorized rail corridor crossing Executive Director

A rash of recent incidents has forced the North County Transit District (NCTD) to significantly increase enforcement activities against trespassers along both the Oceanside to San Diego and Oceanside to Escondido rail corridors.

“There’s an increasing problem we are seeing, and it needs to be stopped — now,” said Jaime Becerra, NCTD Chief of Transit Enforcement. “Every day, people are blatantly risking their life as they illegally cross these tracks. What they don’t realize is that they are also risking the lives of hundreds of other people, too.”

Those crossing the track illegally or trespassing on the railroad right-of-way will face criminal penalties for their

violation of the law by NCTD’s Transit Enforcement Division Officers, or the San Diego County Sheriff’s Transit Enforcement Services Unit. The penalties for trespassing on the railroad right-of-way can result in fines up to $500 and/or six months in jail.

Each time a train comes to an emergency stop due to trespassers on or near the track, there is a risk of injury to the passengers and train crews who didn’t expect a sudden stop.

“A train doesn’t stop like a car, and it definitely can’t swerve like a car,” Becerra explained.

In addition to the risk of injury, emergency stops require an inspection of the rail after they occur. This legally mandated inspection delays passengers

on that particular train, and can adversely affect the rest of the rail corridor. The inspection and delays can result in not just a cost of time, but an economic burden to passengers unable to get to work, and to taxpayers who pay for the inspection.

“With a trespasser on the rails, the best-case scenario is that hundreds of passengers are inconveniently delayed due to an emergency stop. But far too often the results are tragic,” added Sean Loofbourrow, NCTD Chief of Safety.

“There is no such thing as illegally crossing a railroad track safely. It’s always unsafe, and it’s always wrong to jeopardize the safety of others just for the convenience of crossing where you want to cross.” – Submitted press release

Local laddies and lassie are serious about Scottish Highland Games

COURTESY

Mike Baltren, general manager of Ambition Athletics in Encinitas, prepares to toss a caber in a recent Highland Games event. A small group of athletes who are affiliated with the local gym have gotten serious about Highlands Games and are traveling around the U.S. to compete at different Scottish Fesitivals.

BY CHRIS SAUR When you ask General Manager Mike Baltren about the philosophy behind the Encinitas-based gym Ambition Athletics, he says: “We are just there to teach people how to make themselves better. It’s not all about just being in the gym and grinding away. It’s a few days a week in the gym and then, go outside, have fun, do the things that you like to do.”

Baltren and a few of his friends have taken that advice themselves, in a really unique way: Scottish Highland Games. In addition to traditional workouts at the gym, Baltren, his girlfriend Felicia Baker and training buddy Sean Smith have been practicing and competing in Highland Games at Scottish Festivals around the U.S. for the past few years.

Baltren got into the sport in 2011, joining gym owner Max Shank, who originally had the idea.

“We are former athletes and we are always training,” said Baltren, a former Division III hockey player at UMass-Dartmouth. “We

There were four of them, all affiliated with the gym, getting into the sport that first year, competing at the local competition in Vista.

The group got a little bigger in 2012. That year, it was a big event as a lot of friends, family and gym members came to watch the crew compete in the San Diego Scottish Highland Games and Gathering of the Clans.

In 2013, the local group

added some women to the mix, growing their numbers even bigger to almost double digits.

As they began to get more serious about it, traveling to events throughout the west coast, the crew has shrunk down to the three core members: Baltren, a 35-year-old who came from Massachusetts and lives in Pacific Beach, Baker (30, born and still residing in Vista) and Smith, a 40-year-old who lives in Carlsbad and teaches business at MiraCosta

College. The three spend a lot of time at the gym in Encinitas.

Baker played softball in high school, while Smith participated in various prep sports, including baseball, football, basketball and track, and was a thrower on the track and field team at University of La Verne.

Baltren said a lot of the best Highlands Games athletes participated in high school or college throwing (discus or shot putt).

The trio trains locally, sometimes in and around the gym, alongside Brian Austin, an Encinitas resident who is a longtime Highland Games competitor. They can only do some of the practice in the gym because the nine events that make up a competition all involve throwing very heavy objects.

Events include stone tosses (shot put style and over a bar) for height and distance, hammer throws, tossing a sheaf (bundle of straw in a bag) with a pitch fork, and what some call the signature event, the log throw. In that event, called “caber toss” the caber is a prepared tree or SEE GAMES, A17

Salk Institute women scientists talk progress, share research results

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN On July 20, the Salk Institute celebrated a “Women & Science” event with the presentation “Nutritional Genomics: Health and Well-being” where three postdoctoral female scientists shared their latest discoveries in the field of human health and well-being.

Congressman Scott Peters introduced the speakers by sharing on the misrepresentation of women in science and the urge to push students towards the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. “We need to encourage our young scientists to pursue careers in science.

Supporting young females in science is a worthy investment,” he said, adding that he co-sponsored the STEM Act, a law passed in 2015 that strengthens education efforts in those areas and expands the definition of STEM to include computer science.

The first postdoctoral student to present was Amadine Chaix. She’s researching how time-restricted feedings could affect “metabolic fitness” at the Satchidananda Panda Lab. Chaix uses mice as models to study human diseases like diabetes. She theorizes that weight gain or loss is not only dependent on the equation between fat intake and exercise, but it’s also determined by the time patterns of food intake.

Her experiment consists of measuring weight and the prevalence of diabetes — high levels of sugar in blood — in mice that have access to food 24 hours a day versus those whose food intake is limited to daytime hours. Her results so far show that the mice who only eat during the day are leaner and have decreased risk of

diabetes compared to those who eat at all hours.

Her research also shows that modifying those behaviors, chiefly by not allowing the free-eating mice access to food after 8 p.m., the mice that are heavier and more prone to diabetes saw an improvement in body weight and health.

“For the animals who had free access to food, a change to time-restricted feeding lowered body weight,” Chaix explained.

Next was Maryam Ahmadian, who studies the recent discovery of what is known as “brown fat” and how it affects human weight. “We know obesity is becoming more of a health problem (along with) all the medical complications attached to it, like heart problems and diabetes. … Some people eat really well, exercise and don’t lose any weight,” she explained.

assistant professor Janelle Ayres’s lab looking into how infectious bacteria promotes health.

“You must imagine that these microbes are interested in having us healthy in order to sustain themselves,” she said, implying that the most successful infectious bacteria are those who make us sick but don’t kill us.

Rao’s experiment involved infecting mice with two different salmonella virus, the common one and a mutation. She elaborated, “I’m interested in sickness behaviors. Disruptions in sleep, social withdrawal, reductions in grooming, anorexia …

(Only) the animals infected with the mutant salmonella stopped eating and died, (therefore) we identified a salmonella bacteria gene that impacts our behavior.” The potential outcomes of her study include preventing or stopping anorexia and control appetite to stop obesity.

“Brown fat adapts to changes in temperature and activates in cold temperature,” she said, implying that brown fat mobilizes when exposed to low temperatures as a mechanism to warm up the body, contrary to white fat, which makes up the vast majority of the fat in the human body and responds to other metabolic factors.

She was looking for answers to the question, “How can we target brown fat?” when she found a nuclear receptor that affects it, Estrogen Related Receptor (ERR). Ahmadian explained, “Mice without ERR couldn’t heat themselves up in cold situations. Brown fat can’t be activated without ERR. Now I’m looking at compounds that can activate ERR and how we can use them to combat obesity.”

Local residents to participate in annual lung cancer walk

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Marlene Nadler-Moodie was given only three months to live when she was first diagnosed with lung cancer.

Four years later, the local resident is participating in the seventh annual San Diego Free to Breathe Run/Walk on Aug. 7 at Embarcadero Marina Park North.

“Nothing’s going to stop me,” Nadler-Moodie said.

After dealing with a dry cough for several weeks, Nadler-Moodie finally made a doctor’s appointment.

It was a busy time. In addition to her travels, in 2012, she was working as a full-time clinical nurse specialist in psychiatry at Scripps Health. She was also serving as president of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association.

“It didn’t really bother me at all,” said Nadler-Moodie, who has lived in San Diego since 1983 and Carmel Valley since 1990. “I kind of assumed it was from travel.”

Otherwise healthy, Nadler-Moodie’s physician gave her the green light, but also ordered a chest X-ray.

The X-ray led to a CAT scan, bronchoscopy and appointments with specialists within the next several days. She was eventually diagnosed with inoperable stage-three lung cancer.

“That was kind of ‘Wow,’” she said. “One day you’re that and the next day you’re something else.”

With the surgery too risky, Nadler-Moodie underwent chemotherapy and radiation, eventually losing her hair. The hardest part,

however, was telling her two adult sons about her diagnosis.

“My philosophy was I’m going to live every day; I’m not going to die every day,” said Nadler-Moodie, noting that she and her husband have traveled out of the country at least 16 times over the past four years.

The cancer eventually spread to both lungs, changing her diagnosis to stage-four lung cancer. Open and willing to try new treatments, Nadler-Moodie tried targeted radiation, the drug Tarceva and an immunotherapy drug called Opdivo. In recent months, she has had two new treatments through a clinical trial with a lung cancer specialist at UC San Diego.

She will have another treatment and scan just prior to participating in the Free to Breathe Run/Walk.

“I hope I’ll be thinking good thoughts,” Nadler-Moodie said.

While researching lung cancer online, Nadler-Moodie learned about Free to Breathe, a nonprofit that serves as a partnership of lung cancer survivors, advocates, researchers, healthcare professionals and industry leaders dedicated to doubling lung cancer survival by 2022.

This is the fourth year her team, Marlene’s Wish, is participating in the event, which features a 5K run/walk, one-mile walk and quarter-mile kids’ dash. A total of 415 people participated in the event last year, raising $40,900. This year organizers anticipate about 500 participants and hope to raise $50,000.

“We’re doing something good for lung cancer,” Nadler-Moodie said.

More people in the United States die from lung cancer than any other type of cancer.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 212,584 people in the U.S. were diagnosed with lung cancer in 2013, and 156,176 people died from lung cancer.

Longtime nurse and Solana Beach resident Terri Wyatt has worked closely with lung cancer patients over the years. She encourages early screening to help with lung cancer survival.

Recent guidelines from the American Society of Clinical Oncology suggest annual screening with low-dose computed tomography for smokers and former smokers at high risk for developing lung cancer.

High-risk factors include being between the age of 55 to 74, having smoked for 30 years or more, and either continuing to smoke or having quit within the past 15 years.

“By the time somebody has symptoms, they’re usually stage four,” said Wyatt, who has worked as a nurse at Sharp Memorial Hospital in Kearny Mesa since 1984. “It stays hidden for a long time. That’s the thing that makes lung cancer so difficult and why it’s one of the leading causes of cancer death.”

With a team from Sharp, Wyatt is participating in the Free to Breathe Run/Walk for the second year.

“Just because you have lung cancer, it’s not necessarily a death sentence. I think that’s an important part of participating in these walks, plus raising money for more awareness and research,” said Wyatt, who has had an uncle and a friend die from lung cancer. “You just never know when you might be touched by lung cancer.”

The San Diego Free to Breathe Run/Walk begins at 7:45 a.m. Aug. 7 at Embarcadero Marina Park North, located at 400 Kettner Boulevard in San Diego. Special recognition will be given to top finishers and fundraisers.

All proceeds will support Free to Breathe.

The lung cancer research and advocacy organization has raised more than $14 million to support research and educational programs since 2005. This year, the organization will be funding two new lung cancer research grants totaling over $1.2 million dollars.

Adams is dominating Cape League competition Encinitas native plays college baseball at USD

MASON SHOULTZ/USD PHOTO

Encinitas native Riley Adams tears around the bases during a University of San Diego game this spring.

BY THOMAS JOYCE In order to prove oneself as the best, one must compete well against the best competition possible. This summer, Encinitas native Riley Adams is doing just that.

More than 3,000 miles away from home, Adams is playing catcher for the Orleans Firebirds of the Cape Cod Baseball League.

In doing so, the Canyon Crest Academy product is playing in what is widely considered to be the top summer collegiate baseball league in the country.

The rising junior at the University of San Diego might be used to playing ball in and around his hometown. But geography is not preventing Adams from enjoying his Cape League tenure this summer.

“It’s been a blast playing against some of the best competition in the country and that college ball has to offer,” he said. “I can’t complain there. Everything’s been great so far.”

Statistically, Adams has been one of the best players on The

Cape this summer. Through 28 regular season games, Adams had hit .346 with six doubles and an .831 OPS. And yes, he was named a Cape League All-Star.

What has been the secret to Adams’ success? He said he is confident and does not overthink what he does.

“I go into every game thinking I’m going to hang with the best of the best,” Adams said. “It is a good feeling, but it’s only one summer and I’ve got many more years to go.”

There is a heavy scouting presence at Cape League games and given Adams’ performance, it seems likely teams would be looking at him as he is eligible for next year’s draft. He was selected out of high school by the Chicago Cubs in the 37th round of the 2014 MLB draft, but did not sign.

If he is thinking about the draft this time around, however, he did not admit it.

“There’s so much that could go on in the next eight months or so,” Adams said. “I’m not thinking too far ahead, I’m just going out there and playing ball.

That’s all I can do, so I’ll stick with that.

“I’m keeping it simple,” he continued. “See the ball, hit the ball. Catching, I’m just trying to

build a good relationship with the pitchers because that’s the most important part. I’m not trying to do anything too fancy. I’m just going out there and playing baseball like everyone else is.”

Adams is taking this summer to work on becoming the best player possible in every aspect of the game. He mentioned both his hitting and defense as areas he could improve upon.

Of course, Adams is optimistic he will be able to parlay his Cape League success into a big year at USD next spring. It should not be difficult for him either, as he hit .327 with six home runs and a .955 OPS in 56 college games this spring.

And as far as schools go, Adams knew when he was offered the opportunity to play for a Division I program locally, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

“It is quite a nice thing to be so close to my family,” he said.

“They get to come to every single game. USD is a beautiful campus.

I’ve got some great coaching and some great teammates. I’m very fortunate they’ve helped me along the way. I’ve got no complaints and no regrets about forgoing the draft in 2014 to go to USD. It’ll pay off for me in the end.”

Surfing Madonna Oceans Project announces new mosaic Newest work to be displayed at the Moonlight Beach Marine Safety Center

BY BARBARA HENRY The Surfing Madonna Oceans Project has unveiled its plans for a giant kelp forest mosaic that’s proposed to go on one side of the city’s new lifeguard tower at Moonlight Beach.

The design, which foundation members showed to the city’s Arts Commission in mid-July and released to the media on Tuesday, features diverse creatures found in the underwater forests just yards from the San Diego County’s coastline.

In the upper part of the rendering, a harbor seal gazes directly at viewers, while at the base, an octopus creeps along the seafloor, and in the midsection, bright orange Garibaldi fish swim among the kelp fronds.

“It does bring attention to our oceans and the need to protect them,” Surfing Madonna foundation board member Francine Filsinger said Tuesday, adding that she hopes people who walk by

the mosaic years from now will be inspired to remove any trash they find at the beach so it doesn’t wash out to sea. “I think it’s a great ambassador.”

Jim Gilliam, Encinitas city arts administrator, said the mosaic is planned for the northwest corner of the city’s long-planned lifeguard tower near the first-aid station.

Construction on that tower is expected to begin later this year after the summer beach season ends. “(The mosaic) is a massive installation— eight by 15 feet— it’s going to make a significant statement,” Gilliam said. Leucadia artist Mark Patterson created the famous Surfing Madonna mosaic. The kelp forest project will be a collaborative effort, Filsinger said.

Ocean artist Peggy Sue Florio Zepeda did the rendering, artist Scott Walt will do the mosaic, Peggy’s husband Bob Zepeda will do the finishing work, and Patterson will assist as

needed, she said.

The city’s Arts Commission unanimously endorsed the design last month, and the rendering is now continuing its way through the city’s art review process, Gilliam said.

The next stage will be a 30-day display of the plans at City Hall and the library, he said, adding that the process will likely begin next week.

The City Council is expected to review the proposal this fall, he added.

Gilliam said the city arts commissioners were particularly impressed by the mosaic’s proposed clear surface coating, which he called “ingenious.” It will both cover the piece and act as invisible grouting between the individual mosaic tiles, allowing light to flow through the entire piece, he said.

No city money will be used for the project— the Surfing Madonna foundation is creating and donating the estimated $20,000 needed to

bring it to life, Filsinger said.

The nonprofit foundation, which was established in the wake of the controversy over the Surfing Madonna mosaic, has become a major fundraiser for coastal programs in the region. It has contributed $200,000 to the community since 2013, foundation figures indicate.

Patterson’s piece that inspired the foundation’s creation — a giant mosaic featuring Our Lady of Guadalupe on a surfboard with the words “Save the Ocean” along one edge — was deemed religious in nature after it was covertly installed on a downtown railroad bridge support. Its removal was ordered, and it’s now on display on private property nearby at the intersection of Encinitas Boulevard and Coast Highway 101. For more information, visit www.surfingmadonna.org.

Local novelist/screenwriter to sign latest at Warwick’s

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Author Stephen Metcalfe, whose writing accolades include production drafts for the films “Pretty Woman,” “Dangerous Minds” and “Mr. Holland’s Opus,” will sign and discuss his latest novel “The Practical Navigator,” at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9 at Warwick’s Books, 7812 Girard Ave., La Jolla.

After making his fiction debut with “The Tragic Age,” Metcalfe follows with his second novel, “The Practical Navigator,” which was released this month.

The tale focuses on Michael Hodge — the father of a Stephen Metcalfe 7-year-old boy on the autism spectrum, and the son of a woman in the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s — and what happens when his estranged wife comes back into the picture.

According to press material, “The ocean has become more turbulent than ever and Michel’s carefully patched together world begins to flounder and

drift. Can Michael Hodge help everyone in his life find happiness without sacrificing his own? He’s not sure of that either.

“All he knows is that safe harbor, a sheltered haven for himself and the people he loves, is far away.”

Set in a town “similar to La Jolla,” the book uses the main character’s love of surfing to give credence to the literal and figurative ocean in his life, and mentions places like Bird Rock and the Muirlands.

Metcalfe said, “It is about a man making his way through the important relationships in his life and navigating some (metaphorical) rough waters.

Part of it is witnessing someone do the best they can with the issues they face, which I think people can relate to, because there is no one that does not try to do the right thing in these tough situations.

“Another issue is a parent coming to terms with a son with a disability.”

With art somewhat mimicking reality, Metcalfe’s son Wesley has an autism spectrum disorder. In 2011, Metcalfe wrote the script for the documentary “El Abuelo,” a film about a boy with autism who does not speak and befriends an elderly migrant worker who helps him “find his voice.” Wesley later starred in the film “With Me” that centered on his experience with a service dog to ease

Stephen Metcalfe will sign “The Practical Navigator,” at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9 at Warwick’s bookstore. the social anxiety that comes with some forms of autism.

Wesley is now 19, and Metcalfe said, “I am so proud of him.” Drawing from the first-hand experience of a parent

facing a medical uncertainty affecting their child, Metcalfe gives his protagonist a level of understanding that can only come from real life.

“The time that was the scariest for my wife (Claudia) and I as parents is when you first get the diagnosis, when you have no information. For us, that was 15 years ago, and at that time, there wasn’t nearly the amount of information there is now,” he said.

Also reflecting on the personal nature of why he got into novel-writing, Metcalfe said, “Because I started writing in college, and I was into theater, the first things I wrote were plays. The plays led to writing for the movie industry. And while I was fortunate to write for the movie business, I was doing other people’s projects. It seemed time to do my own work.”

Clinging slightly to the movie industry, Metcalfe called his appearance at Warwick’s “an opening night.”

“Unlike theater or a movie, with novels, you have no opening night, there is no audience. But by having an evening at Warwick’s, it becomes like a coming out party and that could only happen in one’s hometown,” he said.

“It’s my opening night.”

Work ethic drives San Dieguito Academy hoopster Travis Snider Coach likes what he sees from 6-foot-4 sophomore

BY GIDEON RUBIN It’s easy to have big aspirations.

Doing the work required to achieve them is the hard part.

It’s Travis Snider’s willingness to put in the work that sets the incoming San Dieguito Academy sophomore apart, according to Mustangs basketball coach Jason Stewart.

“Tons of kids will say ‘I want to play varsity, and I want to do this and I have these aspirations and goals,’ but when it comes time to work out and you go the gym you see they’re not there,” Stewart said. “They’re at the beach, they’re at the movies or they’re hanging out with their buds.”

Snider, who last season played on the SDA JV team, is a strong candidate to make varsity as a sophomore during the mid-November tryouts. At 6-foot-4, he stands out, and his work ethic and determination have set him apart. So far, Stewart likes what he sees.

“It’s rare when you come across guys who want to be coached and who consistently want to get better, not just with their words but with their actions, that’s what makes him special,” said the third-year SDA head coach. “He’s the one who’s consistently asking and doing the things that will make him a better player.”

MARY PLOUSHA

Travis Snider, who will be a sophomore at San Dieguito Academy in the fall, takes a shot while playing for his Gamepoint club team this summer.

Snider is already very good. Despite his young age, he’s attracted the attention of collegiate scouts and is a Division I prospect with tremendous upside, according to Stewart.

Snider is part of a talent-rich, incoming sophomore SDA class that also includes guards Yarin and Ron Arbib (identical twin brothers) and Baylor Brimmer, who’s also 6-4.

“I’m definitely excited about the potential of San Dieguito Academy,” Stewart said.

Double Take L A DI E S CO N S IG N M E N T B O U T IQ U E

Snider has been playing competitive ball since he was in fifth grade. Early on in his development, he played point guard, a position that helped him develop his ball-handling skills, court awareness and basketball IQ. “Because he was a taller guy playing point guard, he had to have more basketball IQ,” Stewart said. “Travis has the ability, because of that experience, to be able to comprehend what’s going on on the floor.”

Snider, who projects to play a stretch four position in college, says he remains committed to developing those skills.

“I’ll definitely be more versatile if I can get my ball-handling skills up to speed,” Snider explained. “Both my parents have instilled that in me, making sure that I can be an asset on all parts of the court.”

Snider works hard off the court too.

He’s a straight-A student who says he puts academics ahead of basketball.

He’s hoping to leverage his basketball skills to help him land a scholarship at an elite college, and plans to attend law school.

“If basketball doesn’t work out, you’ll have your education forever,” he said.

But these days basketball is working out very well for Snider.

He just concluded a summer playing for the Gamepoint club team and is attending player development camps ahead of the fall SDA tryouts.

Snider also referees youth recreation league games and wants to coach a youth-level team (8-to 12-year-olds) next year.

“I want to instill my love of the game to younger kids, I want to pass that on,” he said.

“I want to show COURTESY them how much Travis Snider fun basketball is and what it can do for you overall.”

If his work ethic rubs off, Snider should be a pretty good coach.

“You can have all the talent in the world but you have to have a work ethic or you won’t make it very far and that doesn’t just apply to basketball,” Snider said. “That applies to all aspects of your life. My parents instilled that in me, they showed me that I wouldn’t be anywhere without work ethic and determination and hard work.”

Stewart has seen those qualities become part of Snider’s identity.

“Travis works out consistently,” said the coach. “You can stick your head in the gym and find Travis there eight out of 10 days. That’s who he is and that’s the first step of any progression in any profession.”

EUSD Special Education Program hosts Summer School Olympics

T

he Encinitas Union School District’s Special Education Program held its 17th annual Summer School Olympics on July 28 at Olivenhain Pioneer Elementary School.

The event celebrates the end of the summer school program, and was the vision of Lori Miller, a popular Adaptive Physical Education Teacher who died of cancer four years ago. The program has continued to thrive in her honor.

This year, cheerleaders from La Costa Canyon High volunteered to help and gave a performance in the parade which opened the event.

“Encinitas Union School district strives to bring together community by having peer volunteers as well as local youth volunteers to take part in the transformative power of this event,” said EUSD Pupil Personnel Services assistant Tami Wilson. “We know the challenges our students must overcome and the

barriers they face every single day, this event showcases their abilities and successes while creating an atmosphere of community that brings about awareness.”

The day began with a parade of athletes displaying their classroom banner and was followed by the students rotating to nine different stations to participate in events. The summer special education program features eight classrooms of around 90 students with a range of disabilities, and the Olympic events are designed to accommodate children of all levels of need. Students worked on skills in basketball, bowling, bean bag toss, baseball, obstacle course and more.

The morning concluded with a ceremony honoring each student with a medal and a certificate of achievement.

COURTESY

Artist can apply to put a piece on this blank wall on 718 N. Coast Hwy 101 to work on up to and during the Aug. 28 LeucadiART Walk.

Organization to sponsor work of art to coincide with LeucadiART Walk The Aug. 28 LeucadiART Walk, presented by Leucadia Main Street 101, will have a special feature this year as a sizable wall along the historic Highway 101 corridor will be the newest space for artists to creatively enhance the community.

The wall is a southern-facing, blank canvas at 718 N. Coast Hwy 101. Artists are invited to submit proposals in any medium to create a unique piece of art. There will be an artist stipend of at least $2,500 and all supplies and rentals associated with creating the piece will be paid for as well.

The installation of this large scale exterior project will coincide with the upcoming LeucadiART Walk on Aug. 28 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In its 12th year, The LeucadiART Walk is North County’s largest fine art event, bringing 5,000 people to Leucadia for a full day of festivities that include live art demos, a craft beer garden, live music, live dance and a Children’s Art Pavilion made possible by Scripps Health, the Encinitas Friends of the Arts and the Oceanside Museum of Art. Artists submitting proposals must be available to work live on the day of the LeucadiART Walk.

“This is a unique opportunity to stretch the boundaries of public art as we have seen it so far in

Leucadia,” Carris Rhodes, executive director of Leucadia 101 Main Street Association, said in a news release. “We really encourage artists to be as wild as they want to be with their submissions, it would be great to see texture, mixed media or collaborations emerge from this project.”

To see this project to the finish line, Leucadia 101 Main Street will be partnering with the property owner and the Leucadia Arts and Cultural Foundation — a brand new community-based nonprofit organization.

Grant funding from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and the Mizel Family Foundation city of Encinitas Grant Program is making this gift to the community possible.

Interested artists should submit their work to carris@leucadia101.com and full application requirements can be found at www.leucadia101.com. All applications must be received by Aug. 10 and the selected applicant will be notified by Aug. 17.

Applicants must be prepared to begin work almost immediately after being selected.

For more information, contact the Leucadia 101 Main Street Association at 760-436-2320.

Varicose Veins: Symptom of Aging or a Sign of Something Harmful?

First off, the heading isn’t meant to make anyone with blue rope veins on their legs live in fear. But it is important to know that varicose veins are a medical, and not a merely cosmetic, condition.

Varicose veins and even spider veins are signs of chronic vein disease. When you

have vein disease, you have a higher risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a clot in the vein, because of poor blood flow in the weak veins. If it breaks free and travels to the lung, the consequences could be serious—this becomes a pulmonary embolism (PE), and of the 300,000-600,000 people who get DVT or PE each year, 60,000 to 100,000 will die from it. In some cases, DVT or PE can lead to a lifelong disability, or lead to chronic leg pain and swelling that will never go away.

When you hear the term chronic vein disease, or CVD, it usually refers to chronic conditions that are related to the abnormal or diseased veins. Varicose and spider veins are included in this, as are leg swelling and pain. But chronic vein disease also refers to the following:

Chronic venous insufficiency Skin changes on the leg Leg ulcers Phlebitis Vascular malformations There are other symptoms of CVD aside from the ugly veins, and it should trigger an immediate trip to the doctor if you have any of the following: Warmth of the skin Redness and itching Leg fatigue that won’t go away Lightheadedness Rapid pulse and, in extreme cases, Chest pain As I’ve discussed in previous columns, vein disease can happen to anyone, at any age, including young women and men. It is hereditary, with about 75% of patients

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

having a family history of CVD. Unfortunately, there is no cure for varicose or spider veins, and once you get them, they will come back, as they are symptoms of a weakness in the veins where blood can pool. However, it is important to have them checked by doctors. While the basic treatment of wearing compression stockings can help, it is best to have them removed with non-invasive treatments such as sclerotherapy, as well as making lifestyle changes to respond to your vein disease and keep it in check.

To have your veins checked and treated, visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com or contact us at 760-944-9263. Make sure you also visit your primary care physician to monitor your vein disease.

BARBIE, a 2-year-old Labrador

mix, is looking for a patient family to love. Barbie previously lived on a large property with other dogs, but her owner decided she could no longer care for them. When she first entered our care, Barbie was very shy and fearful of new people, often cowering and shaking in her kennel. After working with her trainer with positive reinforcement, Barbie is feeling much more confident. Her ideal home would be with a patient, loving family who can take their time getting to know Barbie. With a few extra treats and letting her approach when she’s ready, Barbie is a very sweet companion who is eager to please. If you can give Barbie the home she deserved, please visit her at San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus, 3450 E. Valley Parkway or call 760-888-2247.

Local businesses join forces to do good Three local business — including Swell Coffee Co. in Del Mar — are teaming up to host a movie night on Aug. 12, which will benefit Boys to Men Mentoring and its largest fundraiser of the year, the 100 Wave Challenge.

Boys to Men is an organization dedicated to supporting young, often fatherless boys on their journey to manhood.

“The surfing mentality has always been to leave everything better than you found it — whether it’s the ocean, the environment or in this case, the next generation,” said John Valles, the founder of Swell Coffee Co. “Partnering with Bird’s Surf Shed and Surf Rider Pizza came naturally because we share this common value.

Together, we hope to make it effortless and enjoyable to support an important cause.”

The fundraiser event begins at 6:30 p.m. at Bird’s Surf Shed, as the surfboard shop will turn into a theatre for the night and screen the movie “Chasing Mavericks” while guests socialize and enjoy specialty coffee drinks provided by Swell Coffee Co. and movie munchies courtesy of Surf Rider Pizza. One lucky raffle winner will leave the movie night with a new surfboard hand-shaped at The Boardroom Show in Del Mar, donated by friends at Revchem.

Tickets can be purchased by visiting http://tinyurl.com/htwg65a and guests are encouraged to sign up to paddle out for the Boys to Men Mentoring 100 Wave Challenge on Sept. 17.

FROM GAMES, A4 log that is 16 to 22 feet long and weighs between 100 and 180 pounds. Competitors cup their hands under one end, take a running start and then pull up so that the caber flips forward.

The throw is scored for accuracy, as the log should go straight forward to land at the 12:00 position of on imaginary clock. If the log doesn’t flip, a side judge will make a call as to what degree it made it to (up to 90 where the caber would flip forward).

With such unorthodox events to learn and perfect if they want to be successful and participate in more prestigious events, Baltren, Baker and Smith have gotten serious about practicing the past two years, and it has paid off. And the help of Austin has been key to help them get to the next level.

“He’s been involved (with Highland Games) for probably a good 10 years,” Baltren said. “He’s been a good mentor for us, a really good coach, because he is a veteran (of the sport).

He has a really good eye for technique and it really helps us out because, on some level, this is still new to us.”

Last year was the first time the three really started to travel to events, with Baltren competing five times and Baker doing six. The Highlands Games are just one part of large Scottish Festivals that take place all over the country.

“The community is pretty awesome, you see a lot of the same faces out at the events,” Baltren said. “There’s a lot of people that are willing to not only give their time to put on the games, but also to help each other out and teach each other.”

So far this season, the three locals have gone to competitions in Phoenix, Long Beach, the northern California town of Woodland and, earlier this month, went to Oregon for the Portland Highland Games. In Phoenix, at the Arizona Scottish Gathering and Highland Games in March, Baker competed in the Women’s World Championships.

Later this month, Smith is off to Buffalo, N.Y. for the two-day Scottish Masters Athletics International, where more than 5,000 people are expected to compete. He is ranked fifth in his master’s class, but hopes to break into the top three by the end of the games.

“It’s difficult, but it’s fun. Plus, everything has to be done while wearing a kilt,” Smith said. “You definitely have to be comfortable in showing a little leg.”

FROM CHAMPS, A1 Sub-division champ, was a worthy opponent.

“Those guys did a lot of things well,” Buscher said. “Their pitching was strong in the first two games and they were fundamentally solid. They were very patient at the plate, made you throw strikes, they didn’t swing at bad pitches and they put the ball in play and made you make plays.

“The first two games were back-and-forth close games. It was good, exciting baseball.”

When the series opener got underway on July 28, Dos Pueblos immediately showed its efficient playing style, using a double, sacrifice bunt and sac fly to take a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning.

ELL answered right back in the bottom half when Pete Gagne ripped a single to bring home JP Kraus and EQ Workinger. The 2-1 Encinitas advantage lasted until the third inning, when DPLL used a couple of unearned runs to go ahead 3-2.

But in the bottom of the fourth, the locals turned to some of their lesser-known players to get the runs that would eventually win the game. Cody Martinez got thing started with a single and Nathan Laumann — used mostly as a pitcher by ELL — reached base on an error. Tanner McConlougue followed with an artful squeeze bunt, bringing home pinch runner Jack Maes to tie the game at 3-3.

“Tanner’s squeeze bunt was definitely the play of the game,” Buscher said. “That rally was generated and conducted by kids that haven’t been getting as much playing time.

It was a great inning for us.”

The next batter, Kraus, smacked a double and Laumann motored home to score the eventual winning run in the 4-3 decision.

On the hill for Encinitas, Workinger went five innings and allowed just one earned run.

ELL opened Game 2 of the series (on July 29) with a quick run in the bottom of the first inning, but helped Dos Pueblos take a 4-1 lead by walking four batters in a four-run top of the second. DPLL would have scored even more if not for an exceptional play from Workinger, who threw a dart from left

field and nailed a runner at the plate to end the inning.

Encinitas battled back to tie the score in the bottom of the third as Cooper Dulich led off with a single and Kraus reached base on an error. After Workinger moved the runners to second and third, Wyley Sharp’s sac fly knocked in one run.

Jobe Cubillian smacked a double to right, scoring Kraus, then went to third on a balk.

He came home on Gagne’s infield single, deadlocking the game at 4-4.

Dos Pueblos, however, was playing to stay alive, and did just that with a run in the fifth inning that made it 5-4, a score which held through the end of the contest. That tally was another example of DPLL playing the game the right way as a batter doubled, went to third on a groundout and scored on a sacrifice fly.

“They just did all the little things right,” Buscher said.

That outcome set up a winner-take-all Game 3 on July 30 and ELL made no mistake about which was the better team, capturing the Southern California championship with a 10-0 victory.

With Gagne tossing five shutout innings, and allowing just two hits, Encinitas led the whole way after five walks and a hit batter led to five runs in the bottom of the first. In that frame, Kai Haseyama had a sac fly and Connor Blough worked a walk that forced home the fourth run.

“They kind of helped us out a little bit there,” Buscher explained. “We had two hits in that inning and scored five runs.”

The locals added two runs in the fourth inning, then triggered the mercy rule by tallying three more times in the fifth. In that final rally, Sean Alvarez singled and scored the first run and Cubillian ended the game with a smash over the right fielder’s head.

That sent Encinitas to the regional tourney, and put it one step away from the World Series. Should ELL qualify for the Aug. 14 World Series in Taylor, Michigan, it will be one of five U.S. regional winners who will take on one team each from Asia-Pacific, Australia, Canada, Europe-Africa, Latin America and Mexico. life-threatening illnesses, diseases and disorders, by providing financial, emotional support and resources to their desperate situations. In addition, the “Pillars of Hope” award was presented that evening which honors top doctors, educators, therapists and practitioners.

FROM HOMELESS, A1 the outreach personnel for the first time in their six months of working with her, giving her food and water and other help.

When Sitcov saw that, and realized how homeless youth have so much trouble trusting anybody, “It was like I got hit over the head with a hammer, and I said ‘This is what I need to do.’ Ever since then, I’ve been committed to getting kids off the streets of San Diego, for the past 15 years.”

Sitcov’s organization has been the biggest private donor to the shelter for the past 12 years — to the tune of $2 million — and in 2013, it developed Taking Music and Art to the Streets, which won an award for youth program of the year. Three years later, the program has been endorsed by San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, Congressman Scott Peters, Senator Marty Block and Assembly member Toni Atkins, and served over 3,000 kids.

“In order to get these kids to want to get housing and want to get off the street, they have to trust you, and we’ve found that the easiest way to do that is through music and art,” Sitcov said. “The reason it has grown so quickly, is it’s a safe environment for these youth. They get free music or art lessons, free dinners, free clothes, free shoes, free haircuts, free medical evaluations, free chiropractic … and the biggest thing, if they come for six classes, they earn an instrument of their choice (or $50 worth of art supplies).”

But Doors of Change doesn’t stop there.

“We started the music and art program there and it has been phenomenal, but then we said ‘We need to go to the street, to these 18-24 year olds, and let’s do something to gain their trust so they will want to get housing,’ ” Sitcov continued. “(In the past 15 years), we have helped over 1,800 homeless kids between the age of 12 and 17. But while we were doing that, we realized that there was one group that no one’s helping and it kept coming back to that same group, 18 years old to 24 years old. It’s like a void … no one’s helping these kids, because they are (technically) adults, even though they are emotionally still teenagers.”

With over 2,000 homeless youth between the ages of 12-24 on the streets of San Diego each day (the sixth-highest number in the country), until recently, there are were just 34 beds for youth ages 18-24 with minimal skills.

Thanks to a program that started at another facility 18 months ago, Doors of Change has added five beds to that number with its Housing Program for Self Sufficiency. While one of those five beds is at the original facility in Vista, Doors of Change opened its own facility near San Diego State six months ago. It now houses four young people (three men and a woman), giving them much more than just a bed during their two years in the program.

“It cost $40,000 per kid per year because we monitor them and give them a lot of help with case workers, psychologists, social workers, job-readiness training, etc.,” Sitcov said. “These kids don’t want to be homeless, but they don’t believe they can succeed. We have to help them, nurture them, so they can see that they are valuable human beings. We want to teach them to help themselves.”

The residents also learn life skills,

“

These kids don’t want to be homeless, but they don’t believe they can succeed. We have to help them, nurture them, so they can see that they are valuable human beings. We want to teach them to help themselves.

”

Jeffrey Sitcov, Doors of Change founder shopping, cooking, job interviews, writing resumes and doing basic chores like cleaning. Guest speakers, giving the kids an idea of potential careers, are brought in every Tuesday.

An Encinitas business, Zephyr Partners, is not only one of the biggest donors and source of volunteers, but it is working toward getting the kids paid internships at one of its partner companies.

Speaking of donations, Sitcov’s ability to raise money has been a cornerstone of everything Doors of Change (which, until a few years ago, was called Photocharity) has been able to achieve.

When he first started 15 years ago, he worked with the famous Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, where for three years he spoke during about 30 of the shows each year and took donations, raising about $150,000.

At the now-closed sports bar Yogi’s in Cardiff, Sitcov spoke during football Sundays for 11 years, passed a hat around and even sold guitars autographed by famous musicians to raise more money.

“The biggest thing is, people don’t understand that there are homeless kids, or they don’t understand the severity of the problem,” Sitcov said. “I found that if you can educate the community about the issue … people want to help. We are blessed to have a lot of people who have supported our efforts, but there is a big majority in North County.”

Initially, Photocharity was founded (and named) because Sitcov’s work taking concert photos created helpful relationships with musicians. Billy Joel and Kenny Loggins trusted Sitcov because they had worked with him on photos and agreed to sign memorabilia to sell.

Through Loggins, Sitcov met concert promoter Bill Silva, who asked Sitcov to be the house photographer for concerts at San Diego State.

“This allowed me to have an in into the music industry to start meeting people, share the vision with them and get them excited about helping homeless kids,” Sitcov explained.

The list of musicians that have helped over the years doubles as a list of the most popular artists in the world. It includes The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, BB King, Etta James, The Who and Joe Cocker. Sitcov currently has a Fender Stratocaster guitar and case, signed by The Rolling Stones, that he is auctioning off and expects to sell it for around $40,000, enough to sponsor one kid for a year in the Housing Program for Self-Sufficiency. Visit www.doorsofchange.org to see that and other memorabilia, or get more information about the organization.

In the future, Sitcov is also looking to open an emergency shelter for homeless youth ages 18-24, another way to earn their trust and get them to want to get off the streets. He is also working toward a second long-term housing facility.
