BY DEBORAH SULLIVAN BRENNAN Critics of Encinitas’ school yoga program are challenging two incumbents for a pair of seats on the Encinitas Union School Board, arguing that the board needs to be more responsive to parents’ spending priorities. Encinitas parents Anne-Katherine Pingree and Leslie Schneider have announced their intent to run against incumbents Carol Skiljan and Patricia Sinay. The two challengers have been active in protests against the school board’s recent decision to pay for yoga instruction in Encinitas schools. A third parent, Rimga Viskanta, is also running. In June, the board approved spending $416,000 for a health and wellness program centered on yoga practice, as part of the district’s 2016-17 budget. That amount was scaled back from the $800,000 that Superintendent Tim Baird initially wanted to spend on district-wide yoga instruction, after losing grant funding that previously paid for the program. The decision to devote school funding to yoga infuriated many parents, who said they must raise money constantly to pay for services including science, art, music SEE YOGA, A12

anti-Semitism drew ire from speakers both in favor and against the naming agreement, the City Council voted 4-0 against renaming the library. Mayor Kristin Gaspar sat out the discussion because of a financial conflict of interest.

During an earlier break, suspicious sheriff’s deputies talked to a man in the crowd who had sat through the first hour of the meeting dressed in all black, including ski boots, gloves, sunglasses and a motorcycle helmet, SEE LIBRARY, A18

Storybook Little League run ends just short of World Series Encinitas Juniors fall in extra innings of West Regional title game BY CHRIS SAUR For the Encinitas all-star team — an offensive juggernaut that scored nine runs in a single inning twice earlier in the tournament — a 2-1 loss to Hawaii in the Aug. 10 championship game of the Little League Juniors West Regional tournament was disappointing. But it doesn’t take a spin doctor to find positives in a summer all-star run that included district, section, sub-division and Southern California championships, and ended just one tiny step short of the Little League World Series. “If you put it in context, it’s hard to be disappointed when you finish as the second-best team in the entire West Region of the United States,” said Encinitas manager Bob Buscher. “The whole team went out to dinner (the night of the championship game) to celebrate the accomplishments of the boys. They were just normal 13 and 14 year olds goofing around. They were fine.” The ELL players were far from normal 13 and 14 year olds throughout the summer, including the West Regional tournament, which was contested at Propstra Stadium in Vancouver, Wash. Playing against the champions of other entire states, as well as the NorCal champion, the locals opened the event with

SDUHSD board faces contested election in November BY KAREN BILLING Five candidates will vie for the two San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) seats that will be up for election this November. Incumbents Joyce Dalessandro and Beth Hergesheimer will be joined on the ballot by Randy Berholtz, Lucile Lynch and Robert Nascenzi. See below for more information on each candidate (in alphabetical order). Randy Berholtz: Berholtz is the founder of the Sorrento Valley Law Group and an adjunct professor of law at Thomas Jefferson School of Law. He is also a senior advisor for Mesa Verde Ventures, a life sciences venture fund. He lives in the Del Mar Highlands area, is married and is the father of two daughters, one who recently graduated from college and the other who is a junior in college.

“I am running for this position because I believe I can bring an independent and experienced voice to the board of trustees,” Berholtz said. “I am a 25-year attorney and businessman who has the legal, accounting and finance skills and experience required to ensure that our school district provides students with the best educational resources in the most cost-effective manner.” Berholtz is also an educator with 16 years of experience teaching at local law and business schools, an admissions rep for Cornell and Yale, is married to a languages teacher and is the father of a daughter studying to become a teacher. Berholtz has received the endorsement of the Republican Party of San Diego. Joyce Dalessandro: Dalessandro, a Del Mar resident, has been a member of the SDUHSD board since 1996

and has held the roles of president, vice president and clerk — currently she serves as vice president. “I love my job! San Dieguito Union High School District is a standout among districts in the state and in the nation,” Dalessandro said. “Working every day to preserve and enhance its strengths, keeping each of our schools moving forward, is my goal. Delivering the best education possible to each and every one of our students is my mission.” Dalessandro has a bachelor’s degree in child psychology and a master’s degree in curriculum development. She worked as the assistant dean of students at Adelphi University and has six years of classroom teaching experience. Her two daughters are graduates of Torrey Pines High School and she was a longtime volunteer for the school.

Dalessandro believes that responsible spending has been critical to the district’s success. She said in difficult economic times the reserves the district set aside helped to preserve its programs. In healthy economic times, she said it is the board’s responsibility to “spend down” excess reserves so that taxpayers' money is used to further education. “In this time of change – choosing a new superintendent and sharing the district's vision – stability and experience are of great value,” Dalessandro said. “Positive thinking, creativity, involvement, time, effort, depth of knowledge and passion for education are some of what I bring to the boardroom.” Beth Hergesheimer: Hergesheimer is an Encinitas resident whose three sons have graduated from SEE ELECTION, A17

Stay up to date on rail corridor projects Email updates are available from the city With several capital improvement projects planned for Encinitas’ coastal rail corridor (the area between Leucadia and Cardiff along the coast) by various local agencies — including the city of Encinitas — there are a couple of ways that the public can receive accurate, timely information to mitigate the projects’ impact. It is important to note that some of the projects, most notably the Coastal Rail Trail which has been the source of controversy in the community, still require details and agreements to be worked out. Currently, the Encinitas City Council and San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) are working on securing Coastal Commission approval to build segment 39C (through Cardiff) on the Highway 101 side of the railway. In fact, all of the projects listed — the Rail Trail, Coastal Mobility and Livability Study, San Elijo Lagoon Double Tracking, Batiquitos Lagoon Double Tracking, Chesterfield Drive Rail Crossing Improvements, Montgomery At-Grade Pedestrian Rail Crossing and the Leucadia Short-term Drainage Improvements — are still working on finalizing timelines and work schedules. Which is why the city has created individual project websites at www.encinitasca.gov/railprojects, and is now offering project-specific email updates, which residents can sign up for at www.keepsandiegomoving.com/transnetcontact. General updates are also available by signing up for the city news and City Manager weekly updates at www.encinitasca.gov/newsletters. With many projects approved and in-progress by other agencies, including SANDAG, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the North County Transit

District (NCTD), the city of Encinitas will continue to proactively communicate information to community members as it’s made available. “We recognize that there will be disruptions, so we want residents to know when and where projects are underway so that they can make their plans accordingly,” Encinitas’ Director of Public Works Glenn Pruim said in a news release. “Whether it be residents understanding the best route for their commute, or regular lagoon visitors needing to know about what entrances are open, we’re wanting to inform the public in every way possible so that they understand project impacts and can make decisions on how best to minimize the short term inconveniences.” The following are the projects planned or proposed along the rail corridor later this year or in early 2017, along with descriptions written by the city of Encinitas. •Coastal Rail Trail: Led by SANDAG, there are four segments of Coastal Rail Trail planned for construction in the city of Encinitas. Advertising for construction of the first segment, located in Cardiff, Segment 39C, is scheduled for Feb. 2018. This SANDAG project will help fulfill the vision laid out in the San Diego Regional Bike Plan to make riding a bike a useful form of transportation for everyday travel. The Cardiff segment of the Coastal Rail Trail is intended to provide a comfortable bike riding and walking environment for people of all ages and abilities and would connect many community assets along the way. Segment 39C, currently in the planning phase, falls between Chesterfield Drive to D Street. •Coastal Mobility and Livability SEE RAIL, A16

Urban Ag Ordinance in effect following Coastal Commission approval Approved by the Encinitas City Council in May, the Urban Agriculture Ordinance was adopted by the California Coastal Commission on Aug. 11 and went into effect immediately. The ordinance allows small-scale urban agricultural activities and creates a simplified and affordable regulatory process for those interested in pursuing urban agriculture activities in the city of Encinitas. Key features of the ordinance include a new simplified permitting process for urban agriculture, allowances for Community Garden and Farmers’ Market uses, a Temporary Food Stand allowance as a new use for residents interested in selling agricultural or cottage foods as defined by state law, and an extended beekeeping allowance, which covers more Encinitas homes. Under the new rules, beekeeping is allowed in all single family residential zones. This puts city guidelines in step with county

rules passed last year, which allow two hives within 25 feet of roads and property lines and 35 feet of neighboring homes without a permit. Previously, the city allowed beekeeping only in areas zoned for very low density and two particular single family residential zones. In addition, the approved ordinance relaxes the permit standards for Agricultural Production, Roadside Agricultural Stands and Small Animal Raising. Residents will be able to do all three with Agriculture Permits instead of Minor Use Permits. Applications for Agricultural Permits can be found at www.encinitasca.gov/modules/ showdocument.aspx?documentid=8242 and the cost is $250 (or more if building permits or grading plans are necessary for the project). More information on the changes detailed in the Urban Agriculture Ordinance can be found at encinitasca.gov/modules/ showdocument.aspx?documentid=8263.

Bicyclist injured in Encinitas hit and run On Aug. 14 at about 6:45 a.m., a white SUV or similar style crossover vehicle was traveling eastbound on Leucadia Boulevard in Encinitas when it veered to the right, striking a bicyclist who was traveling eastbound in the dedicated bike lane. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene, continuing eastbound on Leucadia Boulevard. The 41-year-old male bicyclist was conscious at the scene and was transported

via ambulance to Scripps La Jolla hospital with serious injuries to his leg, face and lower back. The injuries did not appear to be life-threatening. The collision is being investigated by the North Coastal Sheriff's Station Traffic Division and anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477. Tipsters can remain anonymous and may be eligible for up to a $1,000 reward for informational leading to a felony arrest.

Sheriffs looking for public help identifying suspect Sheriffs from the North Coastal Station in Encinitas are looked for the public’s help identifying a man who is wanted in connection with a shoplifting case. On Aug. 5 at 8:30 p.m. the surveillance video from the Walgreens in the 1300 block of Encinitas Boulevard shows a man pacing the vitamin aisle and stuffing several cases of vitamins into the pockets of his cargo shorts. He walks out of the store without paying for the items, triggering the security alarms in the front doors. The cashier was helping another

customer when the suspect walked out of the store. Loss is estimated at nearly $700. The suspect is described as a black man standing approximately 6-foot-6, weighing approximately 300 pounds, with brown hair. He was last seen wearing a blue and gray shirt, tan cargo shorts and black and white Converse sneakers. Anyone with information about the theft or the suspect is urged to contact Detective Jaime Rodriguez at the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station at 760-966-3500.

Mickelson helps Aviara Golf Club celebrate its 25th Anniversary BY LOIS ALTER MARK Guests at the 25th anniversary celebration of Aviara Golf Club in Carlsbad last week received an unexpected gift of their own when five-time major champion Phil Mickelson showed up to teach a special golf clinic. The native San Diegan offered an insightful lesson on the basics of chipping. He revealed his best tips, warning players, “Never chip with the ball in between your feet. It’s not a committed shot.” He made the crowd laugh when he added, “I know many of you do that. I’ve seen it.” Mickelson graciously answered questions, demonstrated the swing that has won him 42 events on the PGA Tour and, along with Aviara Golf Academy’s Kip Puterbaugh and former PGA player Dennis Paulsen, shared personal stories about the legendary Arnold Palmer. Palmer designed the course, which hosts the annual LPGA Kia Classic Tournament and which was recently named one of the top resort golf courses in the country by Golf Digest and a 2016-2017 Premier Golf Resort by Golf magazine. Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, home to Aviara Golf Club, was awarded the distinction of number one golf resort in San Diego by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler. To commemorate this special anniversary, the bridge on the third hole of the course was dedicated to Palmer and will now bear his name as well as a permanent plaque. “We are thrilled to be celebrating a quarter century of exceptional golf and unforgettable memories made at Aviara Golf Club,” said Renny Brown, director of golf. “We are proud to honor Arnold Palmer on this anniversary as we have him to thank for this incredible course that has brought so many wonderful experiences to so many people over the last 25 years.” During a brief ceremony, Brown read a declaration from Palmer himself: “To my friends at Aviara Golf Club, I am pleased to send my greetings to all at Aviara Golf Club as you celebrate your 25th anniversary.

LOIS ALTER MARK

Five-time major champion Phil Mickelson at the recent 25th anniversary celebration of Aviara Golf Club in Carlsbad. “I was delighted when I was chosen to design and oversee the construction of Aviara and was pleased how well it turned out. It obviously had withstood the test of time, considering its choice as a tournament site for the LPGA Tour. “How nice that my name will be forever posted on the bridge at the third hole. I certainly appreciate that gesture.

“Here’s to another great 25 years and many more.” With its distinctive coastal layout, Aviara Golf is considered one of the most difficult courses in Southern California. A par 72 stretching 7,007 yards, the course is sculpted through rolling hillsides, with lakes and native wildflowers providing an often-needed calming backdrop. Because it’s so challenging, when Palmer designed the course in 1991, he generously provided insider tips for playing each hole. For example, Hole #8: “This medium length, downhill par 5 is very reachable in two shots, but water and bunkers at the green demand accuracy. The fairway short of the water has a right-to-left slope; so if you lay up, play to the right side of the fairway. Players should lay back enough to give themselves a full shot over the water to the green.” All of Palmer’s original tips are available on www.aviara.park.hyatt.com/en/hotel/golf.html. The 40 golfers who played to celebrate Aviara’s anniversary made sure to read them before their shotgun start round of golf. Guests also had an opportunity to experience the food and drinks of Argyle Steakhouse, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, as well. Located at the Aviara Golf Club overlooking the 18th green, Argyle is honoring this milestone with brunch, lunch and dinner specials throughout the month of August. It’s also introducing its exclusive new Steak Knife Concierge Program. An expert concierge will guide diners through Argyle’s extensive knife selection, explaining the appropriate use of each one and helping them choose the best one for their specific entrée. Apparently, looking sharp is a key tenet of Aviara – both in the restaurant and on the golf course. For tee times, log on to www.golfaviara.com/teetimes.

Artist Grant Pecoff, left, shows off his booth at a previous year’s LeucadiART Walk. The 2016 event is scheduled for Aug. 28.

LeucadiART Walk celebrates the art and soul of Encinitas Fine art, live art, children’s art, live dance, craft beer and live music will make Leucadia come alive on Aug. 28 during the 12th annual LeucadiART Walk. “Whether you’re a longtime Leucadian or a regional visitor, you’ll enjoy perusing the esteemed collection of local artists at the LeucadiART Walk,” Carris Rhodes, executive director of the Leucadia 101 Main Street, said in a release. “Art and eclecticism have always been hallmarks of Leucadia. For the 12th annual event, we have added a variety of ways the community can enjoy the arts through dance, live art, children’s art and music.” The revamped event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., will feature a variety of live art activities, including the painting of a giant 20- by 30-foot wall at 718 N. Coast Highway 101. Through a grant from the city of Encinitas and the Mizel Family Foundation the art walk will actually have seven live art demo locations, including a pottery demonstration by local legends at The Wheel, leather SEE LEUCADIA, A12

The Lux Art Institute will feature five artists from all over the world coming for residency in its upcoming 10th anniversary season, beginning with Colombian Camilo Restrepo. In residency from Sept. 10 through Oct. 2 (the exhibition runs through Oct. 29), Restrepo will work on two separate pieces created from collected newspaper clippings and drawings from his personal sketchbooks. These works will focus on concepts of failure and appropriation in relation to the drug-trade, and will be exhibited at ArtBo in Bogotá upon their completion. An opening reception will be held Friday, Sept. 9 at 6 p.m. at the Lux Art Institute. Punctuated by bright colors and cartoonish characters, Restrepo’s works represent internal and external dialogues: one relating to the psyche and a desire for perfection, the other reflecting the horrors in drug-laden Colombia. Starting with a sheet of acid-free paper, Restrepo inflicts multiple aggressive techniques upon the surface, such as submerging it under water, rubbing it against the street, and crumpling it into a large mass before drawing and painting on SEE LUX, A16

Off Track Gallery hosts reception for young artists During an Aug. 13 reception at Off Track Gallery, three talented and deserving MiraCosta (Oceanside) art students — Joseph Curiel, Xochitl Munoz Ramos and Alexandra Gray — were awarded $500 scholarships. The scholarship money was raised at the San Dieguito Art Guild’s Mother’s Day Art, Garden and Studio Tour last May.

BY GIDEON RUBIN Sarah Colla’s recipe for success isn’t that complicated. She turns to the tried and true formula that great athletes have ascribed to for generations, long before tech gadgets, strange diets and muscle confusion became staples of the sports development vernacular. “Just the hard work and dedication that I put into playing volleyball,” said the San Dieguito Academy standout. “All the work and time that I put in makes me the player that I am.” It seems to be working. As a sophomore last season Colla was named the Avocado League East’s Player of the Year after leading the Mustangs to one of the best seasons in school history, which included winning a league championship with a 9-1 record. They were 25-8 overall for the season. “She’s just a great player on and off the court, and a great player to coach,” said Mustangs coach David Savage. Colla wasn’t expected to be a vocal leader for SDA as a

sophomore last season. She led by example though. “She was already a leader on the court through her actions,” Savage said. But this season, she’ll be counted on to take a bigger role in the leadership department. The Mustangs graduated six seniors, including co-captains Megan Scherer and Lindsey King. It won’t be easy. SDA has been moved from the Avocado League East to the much tougher Avocado League West, which includes some of the best programs in the county, including Torrey

Pines, Canyon Crest Academy and La Costa Canyon. The Mustangs will compete with teams loaded with elite-level club players who play year round. Not everyone at the academically-focussed SDA plays year round at that level. “I know a lot of the players and all of these teams are going to be extremely good,” she said. But Colla isn’t intimidated. “I’m actually looking forward to it,” she said. And all indications are that Colla is up for the challenge. “This is going to be the year she’s going to step into that leadership role and I think she’ll handle it really well,” Savage said. Savage’s view of the Mustangs’ talented outside hitter is shaped by watching her handle every challenge she’s faced. Colla made the varsity team as a freshman and emerged as an impact player by the end of that season according to Savage, who coached against her when he was at Mission SEE COLLA, A16

PACIFIC PAIN MEDICINE CONSULTANTS: WORKING

TO IMPROVE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE

Jeremy Adler wants current and prospective patients to know that his practice Pacific Pain Medicine Consultants is focused on more than pain relief. “We’re about restoring quality of life,” he said. Established in North San Diego in 1984, and opened as the first single-specialty surgical center for pain in California, the practice has grown into a respected national leader in advancing the specialty of pain management. Along with outstanding patient service, Pacific Pain Medicine Consultants provides educational conferences, innovative clinical research, advanced treatments and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. As Co-Owner and Chief Operating Officer, Adler believes that identifying an accurate diagnosis is key to developing a therapeutic plan. Despite controversies around opioid-based pain medication, Adler believes that in well-selected and monitored patients, these medications can be a part of a comprehensive treatment plan. “We aren’t just dispensing medicine for lower back pain or chronic headaches,” he said. “We are working closely with our patients to identify, diagnose and treat these issues which can have a big impact on quality of life.” So when is it time for patients to stop toughing out the pain and seek the services of a specialist? “The time is much sooner than people may think,” Adler said. “If you’re in pain for longer than three to six months, this is considered chronic pain. People may think that pain management only prescribes medication, but this just is not accurate. We have many successful non-medication options for a variety of conditions. With people looking to improve their overall quality of life, we often have many options to help them achieve their goals. This can include improving daily mobility, exercise, recreational pursuits or travel. People want to feel better physically to enjoy these things.” Adler points to a diverse, expert staff of practitioners when explaining why Pacific Pain Medicine Consultants has established itself as a national leader in the space. “We have a five-member team of accomplished professionals,” Adler said. “We get together to discuss our patients, which means you are receiving comprehensive care and expert opinions. This clinical team is also supported by an amazing staff who work tirelessly to ensure that visits are pleasant and productive.” An eye toward the future is another reason Adler’s practice continues to grow and thrive in San Diego County. “We are involved in the future aspects of our practice and industry,” he said. “We conduct clinical research. For example, we offer new technologies for injuries to nerves. We are seeing great advancements in electrical therapies. Our knowledge in these areas is always expanding because we are focused on delivering the most up-to-date care to our patients. Beyond care, we also advocate for our patients through professional leadership, serving on many local, state and national committees and boards.” Reach out to Pacific Pain Medicine Consultants at 760.753.1104 or visit www.pacificpainmed. com for more information.

and physical education instruction. District money would be better spent on those programs, or on class size reductions, rather than yoga, they said. A change.org petition drew 940 signatures against the yoga spending, and about 70 parents and students protested the funding decision outside a school board meeting on the issue. District officials maintained the wellness program was important to student health and performance, and described the 2016-17 funding as “bridge money” until additional grants could be obtained. The board also agreed to devote an additional $384,000 toward other enrichment programs, but some parents said that they lost confidence in district leadership. That spurred several to seek office in order to change the course of school spending. “In spite of overwhelming opposition from parents and community members in our district, the school board voted to spend close to half a million dollars on one non-academic enrichment program,” Pingree said in an email to the San Diego Union-Tribune. “To me, this is about responsible use of public funds. There are a lot of great enrichment programs out there, but academics must be funded first.” Pingree, a mother of four children who have attended district schools, has lived in Encinitas for 13 years. She holds an undergraduate degree in political science and certification as a secondary teacher, and earned master’s degrees in industrial and labor relations and public administration, both from Cornell University, she said in the email. She later worked in human resource management. She has served for two terms as a PTA board member at El Camino Creek Elementary School and for four years on the school site council, and volunteers to help with classroom activities and art education at the campus. If elected, she said, she would emphasize spending on “core academic areas such as science, math, reading, writing and technology,” and reducing class sizes. She also said she would work to increase public input and access to information. Schneider has lived in Encinitas for 18 years, and has two children enrolled in the Encinitas Union School District. She holds an undergraduate degree in business administration and communications and is a small business owner, she said. She volunteers for Camp Pendleton family services and with

The grant also helped create the opportunity for live dance performances as Leucadia 101 Main Street has partnered with the Encinitas Performing Arts Workshop to create a special piece for the event that will be performed every 30 minutes in the barrel room at Solterra Winery and Kitchen, 934 N.

the YMCA’s homeless youth outreach. Schneider has been involved in efforts to persuade the school board to vote against funding the yoga program and said she takes issue with “spending on a lot of extras that don’t directly support core curriculum.” Her goal, she said, is to “hold the board accountable for every dollar they spend – is it supporting core curriculum or is it an extra that we do not need?” Viskanta is the mother of three children who have attended Encinitas schools. She serves as PTA president at Ocean Knoll Elementary, and also sat on the district’s bond oversight committee. She received a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Southern California, focusing on government budgeting and finance, and worked for the cities of Manhattan Beach and Solana Beach, as well as working as a financial consultant, she said. Although she shared concerns about spending on yoga instruction, she said that issue didn’t prompt her to run for the school board. “I just feel like this is a natural extension of my current involvement,” she said. As the daughter of parents who emigrated from Lithuania, she said she’s also interested in increasing services to English learners. “I’d like to see if the district can do more to support those families and help with their academic success,” she said. Sinay was appointed to the board in January 2015, when former board member Mo Muir was elected to the San Dieguito Union School District board. Sinay, a native of Mexico, is the mother of two children who are enrolled in the district’s dual language immersion program in Spanish. She has worked on international development and community issues for organizations including the San Diego Foundation, she said. She holds a master’s degree from American University and now runs a nonprofit consulting business. “My focus has always been about engaging the community,” she said. “With that came the idea that for people to really get ahead and break the cycles of poverty, the importance of quality education for everybody.” Skiljan could not be reached for comment. The district website describes her as a 39-year resident of Encinitas, whose two daughters attended the district’s schools. She was elected in 1992, and is executive director of the nonprofit San Diego Chapter of Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program. — Deborah Sullivan Brennan is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune Pavilion at 616 N. Coast Highway 101 features live music and four different children’s art activities. The pavilion will have a changing station and a water bottle refill location. For the adults, a craft beer garden at 580 N. Coast Highway 101 is serving up Port Brewing Co. and Lost Abbey Beers, along with live music. Open from 1to 7 p.m., the beer garden can be enjoyed after the rest of the event wraps up at 5 p.m. Attendees can avoid traffic by parking at Encinitas City Hall, 505. S. Vulcan Ave., and jumping on the Magic Bus to get to and from the event. Those tired of walking can hop on the bus for free at marked locations along Highway 101. Organizers want the LeucadiART Walk to be a way to connect with local artists and merchants. The event is made possible through a grant from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, as well as local sponsors. — Submitted press release

OPINION

OUR READERS WRITE Democracy is not a spectator sport I never realized it could be so complicated. All I ever wanted was options: the option to feel as safe on my bicycle as I feel in my car. When I drive to work, or to El Camino Real to shop, or Leucadia to see a friend, I feel safe in my car. In my car, I feel welcome by the city of Encinitas. There’s a direct route taking me to my destination. Thank you to those who came before me who made that happen – because 100 years ago, we were just rolling hills of chaparral, with possibly a few dirt pathways for the lone automobile and the more common horse-drawn carriage. I wish I felt as welcome and safe on my bicycle. I wish I had felt confident as a mother about the safety of our son when he cycled to school all those years. The half-mile trip to the high school was so unsafe that he carried a letter in his backpack explaining to any potential police officer that his mother made him ride on the sidewalk, due to the danger of the road. But with miles and miles of paved roads in Encinitas dedicated solely to automobiles, and only a handful of bike paths designed expressly for cyclists – separated from rapidly-moving automobiles – it’s hard to cycle in this town with confidence that you’re safe. It’s with those thoughts in mind that I approach every decision our city makes. I’m not advocating for paving every dirt path. I’m asking that we think of our walkers, cyclists, young people and old people when we approach any project – be it in Olivenhain or along the railroad corridor. I’m asking that we reflect on the current imbalance and work to right it. And so here we find ourselves in an election year – with every statement made by a city lawmaker put under a microscope and scrutinized. If you lean in one direction, you’re apt to assume only negative intent from those you believe don’t represent your interests. And with that, I am saddened that the No Rail Trail folks have chosen to step away from the table. I understand in the big game of politics where they’re coming from – but in the small town of Encinitas if we can’t find a way to work together, to start assuming positive intent, and stop second guessing each and every politician’s move, we will never find the common ground that holds us together. Encinitas is an amazing place – as the world changes rapidly, we must respond proactively. If you love our town, get involved and stay involved – pay attention and speak up. Because remember – democracy is not a spectator sport. Judy Berlfein Encinitas

Sick and tired In reference to “teachers do not support Muir and Salazar,” I am so sick and tired of reading and hearing that decisions made by the San Dieguito school board or anyone for that matter, should have as its first priority “our children.” What about common sense? Common sense

is about everyone, including children. Children do not have to have new structures and new equipment to learn. If a child has a quest to learn something, teachers and others will make that happen for them. That child will get any books or equipment he or she needs. Even if no one helps them, a motivated child will seek knowledge out however they can. There are many examples of this. In a world of iPhones, texting and computer games, it is up to our teachers and parents to get children’s attention and spark an interest in learning. All of us remember one great teacher who inspired our minds. Mine was Mr. Jordan, an English teacher at San Dieguito High in 1969. Mr Jordan would climb up on his desk and recite the witches in Macbeth as he stirred an imaginary caldron. He got everyone’s attention. San Dieguito High back in 1969 was anything but new. We didn’t care, school spirit reigned high and most of us had Mr Jordan. I am tired of teachers or anyone using“children as our “first priority” as a sledgehammer to get things children do not really need. What children need and have always needed are dedicated teachers and involved parents. It seems to me that Muir and Salazar have shown common sense in their decision to “thwart tax-payer-approved Prop AA school infrastructures.” Good for them. Cathy Staver Encinitas

Aug. 12 letter was ‘full of mistakes’ As a longtime Cardiff resident, I am tired of hearing a group of privileged Cardiff residents spewing misinformation and defaming Council members in an attempt to promote their own self-interest at the expense of the community. Specifically, I refer to the letter published on Aug. 12 about the Coastal Mobility and Livability Working Group (CMLWG). The letter is full of mistakes (intentional, perhaps). The “No Rail Trail” group wrote that the Council “hired a consultant to review applications and select a group of qualified residents.” Wrong. The Council hired a consultant to do the Rail Corridor Vision study, and at Deputy Mayor Lisa Shaffer’s suggestion, asked that consultant to provide recommendations on a citizen group that would address the entire rail corridor. The city staff proposed to the Council that the same group provide input on two other studies related to parking and rail crossings. That’s how the CMLWG was formed. The CMLWG is not about which side of the tracks the Coastal Rail Trail should be on in Cardiff. That decision was already made. Get over yourselves. It’s not all about you. The “No Rail Trail” letter alleges that people were removed or added to “the list” through secret meetings. In reality, all Council members received a copy of all the applications for the working group, and a staff report with the

consultant’s recommendations. As with any Council matter, all members are free to consult with any individuals or groups they find helpful, on any Council matter, whenever they want, as long as they don’t talk to two or more other Council members outside of the public meeting. As is appropriate, the Council deliberated in public after hearing from the public, and made a decision, in public, by majority vote. In fact, the “No Rail Trial” group brags that they are being mentored by the Gaspars and some have donated to Kristin Gaspar’s campaign for Supervisor. The list approved by the Council was not the same list proposed by Catherine Blakespear, as alleged. It reflects input from the council members who chose to engage in order to achieve better balance and make sure only Encinitas residents were included. Mayor Gaspar proposed that the Council accept the consultant’s recommendations, which included her mentor, former mayor Jerome Stocks, someone not known to have “collaborative capacity.” Her motion failed to achieve majority approval. The successful alternative motion was proposed by Deputy Mayor Shaffer. So there is a seat at the table for the “No Rail Trail” group if they want it. If they prefer to threaten lawsuits because things didn’t go exactly the way they wanted, that’s their choice. The city and its plans will proceed without them. Don Barth Cardiff-by-the-Sea

How to choose a candidate The 2016 election campaign is already underway in Encinitas. There is lots of buzz about who is running for City Council and for mayor. Sometimes it’s hard to know who would be the best candidate. Slick mailers, multitudes of yard signs and well-practiced sound bites can be persuasive for many voters, but they don’t necessarily lead to good governance. Getting elected requires a different set of skills than being a good Council member or mayor. I encourage voters to focus on what comes after the election, and ask questions like these when considering candidates. For incumbents or those who are vying for a higher office: •How has your service on the Council made Encinitas a better city? •What did you say you’d do when you campaigned the last time? How well have you delivered on those commitments? •Have you displayed leadership skills in attracting support for your ideas from other Council members and the public? •Have you demonstrated integrity and collaborative capacity? •Do you treat all constituents with respect, whether or not you agree with their comments? Are you accessible to constituents who want to talk to you? SEE LETTERS, A18

PAGE A16 - AUGUST 19, 2016 - ENCINITAS ADVOCATE

FROM RAIL, A3 Study: Led by the city, the Coastal Mobility and Livability Study (CMLS) links together three separate mobility studies: Rail Corridor Vision Study, Coastal Business Districts Parking Study and Active Transportation Plan. The goal is to develop a comprehensive plan to determine the location of the various improvements proposed for the rail corridor including: Coastal Rail Trail, parking, Leucadia Streetscape, drainage improvements, pedestrian rail crossings, crossing improvements and a quiet zone. A Public Participation Plan has also been outlined so that community members can plan to participate in workshops, community events and public outreach meetings to assist in developing the plan. The City Council has created the Coastal Mobility and Livability Working Group (CMLWG), consisting of members from the community, so that residents will be directly connected to how the city moves forward with projects in the rail corridor. Made up of 13 Encinitas community members, the CMLWG will work alongside the city to help develop and communicate to the community the various rail projects taking place in Encinitas. •San Elijo Lagoon Double Tracking: Led by SANDAG, this project is expected to begin in the fall of 2016. It will add 1.5 miles of second main track from Cardiff-by-the-Sea to the southern border of the San Elijo Lagoon and replace the more than 60-year-old wooden trestle San Elijo Lagoon rail bridge with a modern, double-track, concrete bridge. The project is needed to meet future increases in passenger and freight rail services, and ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions. •Batiquitos Lagoon Double Tracking: Led by SANDAG, this project is expected to begin in early 2017. The project will add 3/4 miles of second main railroad track from Avenida Encinas in Carlsbad to La Costa Avenue in Encinitas across the Batiquitos Lagoon. The project also includes replacing a 1930s-era wooden trestle bridge with a modern, double-track concrete rail bridge, which will improve lagoon tidal flow.

•Chesterfield Drive Rail Crossing Improvements: Led by SANDAG, in collaboration with NCTD and the city of Encinitas, this project will improve the Chesterfield Drive railroad crossing and occur concurrently with the San Elijo Lagoon Double Track Project beginning in Sept. 2016. This project will improve safety and access at Chesterfield Drive for people walking, riding bikes and driving by constructing sidewalk curb extensions, a pedestrian path, rail crossing signals and gates and improved signage. The city has contracted for the design and installation of additional above ground improvements so that they can be constructed with the Chesterfield Drive Rail Crossing improvements. Once the construction of the above ground improvements, the city will seek the establishment of a Rail Quiet Zone for this location. •Montgomery At-Grade Pedestrian Rail Crossing: This project will complete the design and permitting for the installation of an at-grade pedestrian/bicycle rail crossing in the vicinity of the intersection of Montgomery Avenue and San Elijo Avenue. The project will enable cyclists and pedestrians to cross the railroad tracks legally from the east side to the coast. The crossing is needed to improve safety and ultimately provide additional legal access through the rail corridor in the community of Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Community input on the various crossing alternatives is still being collected and the next community event regarding this project is a wayside horn demonstration planned for late September. •Leucadia Short-term Drainage Improvements: Led by the city, this project is to complete the design and construction of short-term drainage improvements along the rail corridor beginning later this year. The long-term remedy for addressing storm water runoff for the Leucadia area is prohibitively expensive ($90 million). This project proposes to address lower cost alternatives to mitigate the impacts of average storm events in a more expeditious manner. — Submitted press release

FROM COLLA, A7 Hills High two years ago. “I knew we were in trouble,” Savage said of facing Colla as an opponent. The teams met twice and, after experiencing a 3-2 loss to Mission Hills in the first match, Colla helped SDA exact a measure of revenge against the Grizzlies in a 3-0 victory later in the season. Colla is an outstanding athlete with great instincts and excellent aptitude, who Savage said plays bigger than her 5-foot-10 frame. Colla plays on the prestigious WAVE club team. “She’s extremely athletic, very, very physical and very hard working,” Savage said. Colla credits a lot of her development, on and off the court, to the mentorship of her older sister, Amanda Colla, a former SDA standout who plays libero at Division-II UC San Diego. Amanda Colla, who’ll be a junior this year, was named the Avocado League East Player of the Year in 2013. “I’ve always watched my sister when she played volleyball in high school and club,” Sarah Colla said, “The way she presents herself on the court, I’ve always tried to take after her and play the way she did.” Colla attends most of her sister’s home matches at UCSD and continues to seek her

at numerous international art fairs including ArtBo, Zona Maco, CODE Art Fair and Seattle Art Fair. He was recently nominated for the Premio Luis Caballero Award, which is the most important prize in Colombia for artists over 35. The Lux Art Institute is a unique museum experience, as it is the region’s only artist-in-residence program inviting artists to live and work on site while producing a commissioned work of art. At Lux, visitors don’t just see finished works of art, they see the artistic process firsthand by observing internationally recognized artists in a working studio environment. For more information, visit www.luxartinstitute.org. Address: 1550 S. El Camino Real, Encinitas, 92024. counsel. She cites among her goals breaking her sister’s school record for career points at SDA. Colla led the team last season with 409 kills and was among its leaders in most significant statistical categories. She was second on the Mustangs with 69 service aces, tied for second with 30 blocks and third with 269 digs. Colla is a Division-I prospect and wants to play collegiately, Savage said. She has already visited several four-year schools. Colla credits Savage and the new coaching staff he brought in last season with helping turn a very good SDA team to an even better one. The Mustangs finished in a two-way tie for second place in league with a 7-3 record her freshman year. They were 22-13 overall for the season. “They pushed us extremely hard and they got us working as a team,” she said. Colla won’t have to carry the entire leadership role on her shoulders. Libero Kiani Kerstetter is among four incoming seniors who’ll be counted on to help the Mustangs confront formidable challenges. Kerstetter is among the team’s most inspirational leaders, Colla said. “She’s very quiet on the court, very steady and calm, I definitely look up to her,” Colla said. “Seeing how hard she works makes everyone want to work harder.”

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

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.

FROM ELECTION, A2 district schools. She has been on the SDUHSD board since 2004 and currently serves as board president. In addition to her service on the board, she has experience representing educational concerns through PTA, Booster and Foundation roles, and has represented local schools on Legislative Advisory Committees. Her business background includes work in education, hospital, manufacturing and engineering human resources settings. “My priorities have always been to enhance learning opportunities, strive for academic excellence, advocate for all students and ensure accountability. I strive to work collaboratively with board members, students, parents, staff and community,” Hergesheimer said. “I am particularly proud of the way our district came through the last economic downturn, and what we are currently accomplishing through the voter-approved Prop AA Bond work. I would like to see these projects through to completion.” Lucile Lynch: Lynch, a La Costa Canyon parent, is an active district volunteer, attorney and businesswoman. She believes her legal and business background will bring fresh insights to a board “that has lost its independence.” “One of the incumbent candidates has been on the board for 20 years and seeks a sixth term, the other seeks a fourth term. They recently approved a contract that earned the San Diego Taxpayers Association's grand prize ‘fleece’ award for guaranteeing our teachers the highest salaries in all of San Diego County's 42 school districts for the duration of the contract ‘irrespective of teacher performance, student success or the district's financial stability,’ and potentially reducing the district's ‘rainy day’ funding by ‘more than half,’” Lynch said. “What would happen if another district adopted the same provision? We can do better to support our valued teachers while still meeting the district board's fiduciary responsibility.” Lynch has received awards from a 14 public school district consortium for "excellence" in supporting students, and a Congressional Order of Merit. She said she is familiar with the district, its programs, and educational laws governing the district, and over the past few years has been vocal about improving the district’s special education program. “I will work collaboratively, but independently, as a board member to resolve issues and build board unity, better support student populations that have historically performed below state averages, and develop better educational and vocational options to increase postsecondary outcomes for all,” Lynch said. Bob Nascenzi: Nascenzi, a Del Mar Mesa resident, has long been involved with the district as a father of four students. He was an elected member of the Del Mar Mesa Planning Board, and a board member of the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation, serving as president for two years. He was the endorsement chair for Prop AA, and currently serves on the Prop AA Independent Citizens Oversight Committee. Nascenzi is also a Court Appointed Special Advocate for foster children and the co-founder of Tech San Diego where he sits on its executive committee. Nascenzi graduated from Boston College and holds an MBA in finance from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. In his career he has led various technology companies and successful start-ups. “I’ve experienced firsthand what it takes to maximize the return on limited resources,” he said. Nascenzi said he has always been active in the community, initially coaching Little League baseball and roller hockey, as well as volunteering for various business organizations. “I am running for San Dieguito school board because I want to ensure a continued tradition of excellence in our schools for the benefit of the children in our community. We need leadership and experience to guide us through key decisions and differing opinions that our school district is facing,” Nascenzi said. “If elected, I will bring a pragmatic and level-headed voice of reason to the board and my priority will always be the students’ best interests. I want all kids in our community to have the same educational opportunities that my four boys had attending SDUHSD schools.”

FROM JUNIORS, A1

Wyley Sharp got the rally started when he got hit by a pitch (he was hit 12 times during the team’s summer tournaments) and Gagne followed with an RBI double to the fence. Following a walk by Jobe Cubillan, Sando drove home Gagne with a base hit. “Offensively, I thought our approaches at the plate got better and better as we went on,” Buscher explained. “In the semifinal game, we played seven innings and had zero strikeouts, which is remarkable. That put the pressure on the other team and its defense.” Arizona tried to pull away, taking a 6-2 lead it held into the fifth, but ELL chipped away in the bottom of the frame as Kraus walked and pinch hitter Cody Martinez followed with a single. A single by Sharp brought Kraus home, then Gagne blazed down the line to beat out an attempted double play, allowing Martinez to score. The teams traded runs for the next few innings, and Encinitas came into its last at-bat (the bottom of the seventh) trailing 8-5. The familiar dugout chant of “Chop down the tree” was never louder. “The kids were confident,” Buscher said. “You don’t chop down a tree with one big swing, you do it with a lot of swings from a lot of different directions, so ‘chop down the tree’ kind of became our rallying cry ever since the district tournament.” And chop it down they did as Sharp got the rally started by being hit with another pitch. Things looked bleak after a couple of flyouts, SEE JUNIORS, A19

Wyoming and a 10-1 victory over NorCal in the first knockout round. “We had very strong, very deep pitching that allowed us a great deal of flexibility as we went through the tournaments,” Buscher said. “That was certainly key as we got deeper in this tournament (and deeper in the entire summer run).” Showing that flexibility Buscher talked about, the locals had four pitchers — E.Q. Workinger, Nick Sando, Nathan Laumann and JP Kraus — combine on a two-hitter against Wyoming and used six to toss a six-hitter against NorCal as Pete Gagne, Sando, Workinger, Laumann, Kraus and Kai Haseyama allowed just one unearned run between them. Later, in the championship contest, it was Gagne putting the team on his shoulders as he threw eight nearly perfect innings. But before that title matchup, came the, 9-8, seventh-inning comeback win in the semifinal game against Arizona, which everyone associated with Encinitas Little League will remember for a long time. Arizona actually took a 4-0 lead in the top of the first, coming out of the gates hot with a pair of doubles to lead off the game. “That top of the first inning was a bit of a surprise,” Buscher said. “But we came back and scored two in the bottom of the first, which I think was huge (especially because they came with) two outs and nobody on.”

•Are you active in the community? Do you show up at community events, not just private gatherings with your personal networks? For first-time candidates: •Do you have a clear and compelling reason for wanting to run? •How have you been involved in the community? For example, are you involved in a public commission, neighborhood group, school organization or service organization? •Have you regularly attended Council meetings and city-organized workshops and events? •Can you articulate a clear position on key issues likely to face Encinitas in the next four years, such as housing/land use, transportation, rail corridor, sea-level rise

and other climate impacts, etc.? •Does your lifestyle enable you to commit the time needed, not just for Council meetings, but also for serving on regional boards, attending conferences, community events and meeting with constituents? At the upcoming candidate forums, ask tough questions. Ask whether a candidate most closely identifies with Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, and why. What model of public service and leadership will they follow? Encinitas is our precious community and we need to make sure we are doing what we can to sustain and enhance the quality of life we have all come to appreciate. Lisa Shaffer Shaffer is Deputy Mayor of Encinitas and is not running for any public office in 2016

FROM LIBRARY, A1

“But I think more important to me, is the commitment to all of the people who contributed to make the library great, and my feeling that the community who is largely involved in this, is opposed to it. “I think it is important to recognize how generous the Mizel family has been and … I have been so grateful to have a philanthropic family like this in our city.” Since 2007, the Mizel Foundation has matched the city’s Community Grant Program dollar-for-dollar to the tune of $75,000 a year. The program has actually been renamed the “City of Encinitas and Mizel Family Foundation Community Grant Program.” But the council felt that the deal to rename the library not only went against the wishes of many of the people close to the situation, but also was an agreement it was uncomfortable with on a couple of levels. Deputy Mayor Shaffer felt it might hurt the city’s relationship with the county, as none of the other libraries in the country system are named for individuals and the county sent a letter to the city that Shaffer interpreted as an unenthusiastic agreement to the deal. The city of Encinitas owns the land and paid for the $20 million construction of the Encinitas Library building, which opened in 2008 after a fiercely contested ballot measure battle over its proposed location and controversy over its soaring construction costs. Some members of the council also questioned the idea that the name would stand in perpetuity, even if the library moved. Many of the public speakers objected to renaming the library, but were happy to honor the contributions of Patricia Mizel, who served on the board of the Friends of the Library from 1996 until 2009, was the co-chair for many book sale events, set up the organization’s internet book sales account and, along with her husband, established an endowment for the library. The speakers suggested that the council explore naming a wing or a room in the library after her, and it was a suggestion Councilman Kranz had already thought of. However, he said Steve Mizel — an investor who has been an avid donor to programs and construction projects in the United States and Israel — balked at that suggestion. Still, the council’s eventual vote was to reject the deal to rename the library, but to direct city staff to approach Mizel again about a possible alternative.

and “body armor” under his jacket that looked to be a chest protector used by lacrosse or football players. The man, who had signed up to speak against renaming the library during public comment — giving his name as “Mr. Freedom Rider” — was put in handcuffs and led out of the building. He told deputies that since it was a sensitive issue, he had wanted to conceal his identity. After calling in backup and questioning the man in front of city hall for more than 30 minutes, the sheriffs let him go. Meanwhile, the discussion hadn’t even started inside the City Council Chambers. When it did, Deputy Mayor Lisa Shaffer introduced the action item by expressing disappointment on two fronts. First, she said the process for bringing the issue to the council could have been better planned, adding that an initial vote by the council directing City Attorney Glen Sabine to work with the Mizel Foundation to draw up an agreement was misinterpreted by the public as an adoption of the new name. In comments that were echoed later by councilman Tony Kranz, Shaffer also blasted the anti-Semitic emails the council had received by some that opposed the agreement. During public comment, a representative from the Leichtag Foundation — an Encinitas nonprofit devoted to igniting vibrant Jewish Life, advancing self-sufficiency and stimulating social entrepreneurship — came out in support of renaming the “Encinitas Library” as the “Patricia Mizel Encinitas Library,” adding that she was disgusted with the anti-Semitic emails advocating against the agreement. This, in turn, angered others against the agreement, who felt they were being called anti-Semitic. After all of the fireworks, and a majority of public comment urging the council to vote no on the proposal, the councilmembers did just that. It was a tough decision, as the council not only turned down the Mizels’ $1.5 million for the library itself and $500,000 for the Friends of the Library but, as Councilwoman Catherine Blakespear explained, the Mizels have been great to the city of Encinitas. “I have found it hard to settle on what my feeling is, because making sure that (our city is) fiscally solvent and sound … is really important to me,” Blakespear said.

FROM JUNIORS, A18 but the next batter, Laumann, wasn’t fazed. After Sharp advanced to second on a balk, Laumann singled him home to cut the Arizona advantage to 8-6. ELL kept the pressure on as Haseyama walked and Connor Blough loaded the bases when he was hit by a pitch. That brought up Cooper Dulich, who got a couple of strikes on him before what Buscher called “another one of those magical moments.” Dulich ripped a base hit to left field, knocking in two runs to tie the game. Next up was Kraus and the guy that led the locals with a .507 average, did what he had been doing all summer. His single to left brought home the winning run, sending Encinitas to the championship game, one victory from the Little League World Series. “There were different types of leaders on this team, some were the quiet hitting leaders that just keep showing up day after day, base hit after base hit,” Buscher said. “JP led the team in hitting. He’s a quiet guy and he just showed up and performed game after game. “Another kid who did exceedingly well was Cooper Dulich. He hit .448 and was the only kid that did not strike out the whole all-star season. He’s another quiet kid who everybody loved.” Sharp, one of Encinitas’ vocal leaders, finished just behind Kraus, hitting .488 and leading the squad with his three home runs. Buscher added that Cubillan, a 13-year-old, got more and more comfortable as the summer went on, eventually becoming a guy that fired up the team in the dugout. “Jobe just kept evolving and maturing and found his path,” Buscher explained. “This group just really came together as a team, and

always placed the team success ahead of their individual success, and that was key. That was a great part of this team, they put their own individual egos aside.” The exciting semifinal win set up a showdown with Hawaii that ended up as a pitchers’ duel. The teams combined for just three runs in 10 innings, but it was ELL that missed the most opportunities, leaving 11 runners on base. “They made all of the plays, you have to give them credit,” Buscher said. “But we had runners crawling all over the bases the whole game, we just couldn’t get the hit when we needed. It felt like if we could just get one hit, we would have broken the dam.” After Hawaii finally made the scoreboard operator work by tallying once in the bottom of the fourth, the locals answered back in the fifth inning. In that frame, Tanner McConlogue singled, Jack Maes walked and Kraus singled to give Encinitas the bases loaded and nobody out. Still, ELL managed to squeeze only one run out of it, Sharp beating out a relay throw to first that allowed Maes to tie the game at 1-1. With Hawaii’s defense getting the job done, and Gagne throwing lights out for the locals, nobody scored again until the bottom of the 10th. Gagne allowed five hits and walked none, while striking out five in eight innings of work. “Pete pitched a phenomenal game,” Buscher said. “He kept them off balance by mixing his location and speed. We did so many things right in this game, it was just a shame we couldn’t win it.” Hawaii ended the longest run any Encinitas Little League team has made in 60 years by scratching across the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the 10th.
