Council meeting gets contentious BY CHRIS SAUR It was such an eventful evening at City Hall on Oct. 26 that a No on Measure T demonstration, complete with balloons as props, outside before the City Council meeting was one of the least contentious parts of the night. The public speakers that opened the City Council meeting spent more than 15 minutes attacking the

measure, also known as a Housing Element Update or At Home in Encinitas, which is on the Nov. 8 ballot — then the tone got a little more tense when a group of speakers numbering nearly double digits spoke out against immigration and Encinitas officially joining the nationwide Building Welcoming Communities Campaign, which happened back in

June. But all of that was the undercard to the main event, a heated discussion about a letter from David Hutchinson, a former city Traffic Commissioner who lives in Cardiff, accusing two Council members (Catherine Blakespear and Lisa Shaffer) of repeated violations of California’s Ralph M. Brown Act, designed to guarantee government

BY PAULINE REPARD AND TERI FIGUEROA A man accused of carjacking a father and young son before being shot by a sheriff’s deputy in Encinitas on Oct. 24 is a gang member who spent years in prison for a string of violent North County home invasion robberies and burglaries, records show. Joseph Martin Ramos, 35, was wanted by authorities for a recent burglary series in the area at the time of Monday’s shooting. Ramos, who also goes by “Joey,” was hospitalized after one of the deputy’s rounds grazed his chest and upper arm and a second one hit his left ankle. He was booked into jail Oct. 25 on charges of

SEE COUNCIL, A22

kidnapping, carjacking, being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, and a burglary warrant, sheriff’s homicide unit Lt. Kenn Nelson said. Ramos and an accomplice pleaded guilty in 2004 to three of 19 felony counts that included binding one home robbery victim with duct tape. Another victim testified to being robbed at gunpoint. Ramos got a 12-year prison sentence. It wasn’t immediately clear how much of that time he served, but a sheriff’s official said he was not currently on parole. Ramos was charged in three separate crimes in 2002, including a 2003 felony conviction for possession of drugs and a gun. SEE HEISTS, A20

BRIAN STRANGE – ARTFULLY SELLING OCEAN LIVING

Deputy Steve Gusman of the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station saved a woman from a burning car on Oct. 23 at around 1:20 a.m. on the 3300 block of Manchester Ave. Gusman was driving northbound when he observed what he initially thought was a cloud of fog rolling in from the ocean, but also smelled smoke. He turned his vehicle around in an effort to further investigate, then stopped his vehicle and walked toward the marsh on the south side of the road. When Gusman looked down, he observed a dark-colored Honda Civic that had recently left the roadway, and there was smoke and a red glow coming from underneath the vehicle. He could not see the occupant of the vehicle because the interior was filled with smoke, but then he heard a female voice coming from inside. The driver and sole occupant appeared to be in shock and Gusman quickly opened the door, reached in and removed the woman from the smoking vehicle, placing her over his shoulder and carrying her up the embankment to safety. Just moments later, the vehicle became fully engulfed in flames. If not for the actions of Gusman, the occupant would have been severely injured or perished. There were no reported injuries, but Gusman was treated at the scene by paramedics for smoke inhalation. Meanwhile, the 54-year-old female driver was evaluated and determined to be under the influence of alcohol. She was later transported to the Vista Detention Facility, where she was booked into jail. — Submitted press release

The city of Encinitas is seeking public input at the last of five pop-up workshops, this one set for Saturday, Oct. 29 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Just Peachy, 1254 N. Coast Highway 101. The workshop is part of the city’s Coastal Mobility and Livability Study, and is designed for the community to give input on the improvements that are needed to make it easier and safer for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders and others to get around Encinitas. The public is invited to stop by the informal workshop at any time for a five-minute discussion, and kids are welcome. Encinitas’ Coastal Mobility and Livability Study is examining how people travel within the city, what types of changes are needed and how the corridor can be more livable — for example, how to quiet train noise and enhance community character. “Engaging the community is critical to the success of Coastal Mobility and Livability Study,” Encinitas’ Acting Planning Director Manjeet Ranu said in a news release. “We want to hear from and talk with everyone that is interested in the future of the City.” According to the release, public input will be used to inform development of draft concepts, which will be presented for public feedback in another round of workshops in early 2017. Community members unable to make the pop-up workshop are encouraged to voice their opinion and provide input via the Coastal Mobility & Livability Study PlaceSpeak topic discussion. For more information on the Coastal Mobility and Livability Study, visit www.encinitasca.gov/cmls or contact Anna Yentile or Andrew Maynard, co-project managers at cmls@encinitasca.gov or 760-633-2710.

Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar and County Supervisor Dave Roberts

Roberts, Gaspar try to differentiate themselves from each other BY JOSHUA STEWART In the last stretch running up to Election Day, county Supervisor Dave Roberts and Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar are making greater efforts to distinguish themselves from each other as early voting has commenced. Roberts, a former Solana Beach mayor and councilman, is portraying himself a polymath with a collaborative streak who has shown he can serve the district for another four years. “I am supported by the people across the political aisle,” he said in an interview. “Just look, I am supported by Democrats, Republicans and independents.” “Wouldn’t you think that the former Republican mayor of Encinitas, the former Republican supervisor would support my opponent?” Roberts said, referring to his predecessor, Pam Slater-Price. Gaspar is running against what she sees as gaps and faults in the incumbent’s résumé. She has brought plenty of attention to accusations from former Roberts’ staffers of wrongdoing by the supervisor, which cost the county $310,000 in legal settlements last year. She said Roberts lacks a strategy to help county government reach long-term goals, adding that she has the business acumen to help guide the county and the judgment to avoid the scandals that dogged Roberts. “I can always make you proud. I know you can always look at me as a role model, an example in your community. Issues come and go,” Gaspar said at a forum. Gaspar is continuing to criticize Roberts for a scandal that rocked his office last year. And now, Roberts is starting to swing back. Their contest is the only county supervisor race on the ballot. Roberts finished first in the primary with 38.7 percent of the vote, while Gaspar received 34.2 percent. Escondido Mayor Sam Abed, like Gaspar a Republican, received 26.9. Roberts, the sole Democrat on the board, is running on his attendance record at hundreds of community meetings, his assignment to committees and government boards, and the times he’s teamed up with other supervisors to develop social service programs. He works well with people around the state, he said, and because of his collaborative nature he and his four colleagues on the board almost always unanimously approve legislation. His last four years in office show he’s good for four more, he said. “Just look at what (Supervisor) Dianne Jacob

and I have done on mental health in the last four years,” he said. And it was a group effort to improve programs for young people in the justice system, and handle an influx of offenders in the community from state prisons to local jails. “The Board of Supervisors works very well to make sure we give the tools and resources to our public safety folks,” he said. He has criticized Gaspar for split votes on the Encinitas City Council, a political division he says shows his opponent doesn’t know how to collaborate and iron out disagreements. “She said she couldn’t get anything accomplished because it’s a 3-2 council … Look at all that I’ve gotten accomplished in four years because I worked with my colleagues,” Roberts said. Supervisor offices are technically non-partisan, but election politics often follow party lines. Gaspar said she votes with her colleagues in Encinitas around 90 percent of the time, and while Democrats have a voter registration advantage, her constituents elected her, a Republican. Gaspar is running on her experience as the chief financial officer of a physical therapy firm she runs with her husband, a job that she says has afforded her business sense to help the county set long-term goals and run efficiently. Gaspar said she wants to introduce greater accountability measures into government programs to make sure that they meet goals. The chief administrative officer does an exemplary job managing county business, she said, but with metrics in place it will be easier to evaluate the value of various programs and services. “Until we put accountability programs in place, we can’t say if we are deploying our resources appropriately,” Gaspar said. “My operational style is not one of micromanaging, but at the same time, I want to see programs that are accountable,” she later added. She’s also running on the fact that she’s not Dave Roberts. Last year, four women abruptly resigned from the supervisor’s office and accused their boss of having his staff do political work on county time and that Roberts had an improper but non-sexual relationship with an employee. Three women filed formal claims that the county later settled for $310,000. SEE ROBERTS, GASPAR, A19

ENCINITAS CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES

Tony Brandenburg

BY CHRIS SAUR With five candidates vying for the three Encinitas City Council seats needing to be filled with the Nov. 8 election, it can sometimes be hard to find an issue where one of them stands apart from the other four. But there is certainly one such instance as candidate Tony Brandenburg is against Tony Brandenburg Measure T — the Housing Element Update that is also on the Nov. 8 ballot. The other four candidates — incumbents Tony Kranz and Mark Muir, and challengers Tasha Boerner Horvath and Phil Graham — all support the measure, with varying degrees of enthusiasm. “Measure T is probably our most important issue. We need a better plan that guarantees low cost, affordable houses will be built,” Brandenburg, a former Superior Court Commissioner and a retired Chief Judge from the Intertribal Court of Southern California, which serves the federally recognized Indian tribes, said in an email to the Encinitas Advocate. So who is this candidate who stands apart from the crowd? Other than spending his high school years in Boston, Brandenburg has lived in Encinitas for more than 50 years. After graduating from Palomar College, he earned a master’s degree from the University of Connecticut and a Juris Doctorate from the Thomas Jefferson School of Law. The former United States Marine has also had a Doctorate awarded to him by Connecticut State University. Brandenburg has served as President of the Encinitas Facilities Foundation, the Olivenhain Town Council and the San Diego County Judges Association, and is currently the Secretary for the Palomar College Foundation and Vice Chair of the Encinitas Planning Commission. “I believe my experiences both on and off the bench (where he served for 30 years), along with my record of successful SEE BRANDENBURG, A23

Tasha Boerner Horvath

BY CHRIS SAUR Community character has been discussed often at Encinitas City Council campaign events this election season, and candidate Tasha Boerner Horvath is very happy that’s the case. Boerner Horvath listed the issue as the most important one when looking toward the future of Encinitas, which is why she’s been working to preserve the city’s community character as a member of the Planning Commission since

June 2015. “By far the most important issue in Encinitas is land use, which is complicated by our outdated municipal code,” Boerner Horvath said in an email to the Encinitas Advocate. “We must modernize our code to better preserve our neighborhoods and ensure that Encinitas continues to have communities with character. “I have worked with fellow Planning Commissioners to improve the compatibility and quality of many projects and to begin the process of updating our code. Encinitas needs a leader like me, who has a proven track record of balancing property rights, community character and making improvements where necessary.” Boerner Horvath is an Encinitas resident like her great grandfather (L.P McChesney, a local inventor and one-time president of the San Dieguito Irrigation District, now known as the San Dieguito Water District), grandfather (a town plumber who built her family’s house near Stone Steps in the 1950s) and mother, who attended the same elementary school (Paul Ecke Central) that Boerner Horvath’s children (Máté, 8 and Maya Kate, 5) do now. However, Boerner Horvath also has the experience of living in other places — Riverside, college at UC Berkeley, Claremont Graduate University where she got her master’s degree and SEE HORVATH, A23

Phil Graham

BY CHRIS SAUR Though he is running against a pair of incumbents and two current Planning Commissioners, Encinitas City Council candidate Phil Graham says it is the specific experience he possesses that will be most helpful to the city in this election. With that experience guiding him, Graham Phil says the most important issues to focus on — Graham as voters choose between him, incumbents Tony Kranz and Mark Muir, and Planning Commissioners Tasha Boerner Horvath and Tony Brandenburg to fill three open City Council spots on Nov. 8 — are public safety and protecting taxpayer money. “I will ensure that we properly fund police and fire and that we have a deep, mutual, trust-based relationship,” Graham said in an email to the Encinitas Advocate. “The main responsibility of the City Council is to prioritize the spending of taxpayer dollars. We have a backlog of hundreds of thousands of infrastructure projects that need to be funded, but have foolishly wasted taxpayer dollars on the Pacific View site, the Cardiff Rail Trail and legal fees due to overall poor leadership. “I will be the taxpayer watchdog on the Council, ensuring we have the money to spend on core services and infrastructure.” Born and raised in San Diego County, Graham got his B.S. in business administration and entrepreneurship at USC, then a master’s in business administration from the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Arizona. A father of four and avid surfer who has ridden waves in seven countries and run triathlons in six countries, Graham has worked with Mother Teresa in India and interned in the Reagan White House. Since moving to Encinitas 12 years ago, Graham has lived in Olivenhain, Leucadia and New Encinitas (Village Park) before settling into his current home in Old Encinitas. During that SEE GRAHAM, A23

ENCINITAS CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES

Tony Kranz

Mark Muir

BY CHRIS SAUR If residents voting for Encinitas City Council are looking for a candidate that knows the city, Tony Kranz says to look no further. Kranz moved to Encinitas when he was just a year old (in 1960) and went to Ocean Knoll, St. John’s and Oak Crest before graduating from San Dieguito High School in 1977. Tony An incumbent who has served on the City Kranz Council since 2012, Kranz says his familiarity with the city makes him a good choice for one of the three open seats. Kranz is running against fellow incumbent Mark Muir, Planning Commissioners Tony Brandenburg and Tasha Boerner Horvath, and former Assembly candidate Phil Graham in the Nov. 8 election. “The other candidates are all fine people and would bring their own perspective to the City Council, but none of them graduated from San Dieguito and have the experience of being part of Encinitas when it was the ‘Flower Capital of the World,’” Kranz said in an email to the Encinitas Advocate. “That said, I look forward to serving the community with two of them.” A graduate of Palomar (AA degree) and Cal Poly, and a printing and graphic arts project manager by trade, Kranz spent time living in Alaska (where he was a member of the Army National Guard) and Minnesota before settling back in Encinitas in 1997 with his wife Cynthia. They have three adult children, James, 31, Brian, 29, and Stephanie, 26. In addition to his work on the Council, Kranz’s public service includes being the Vice Chairman of the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor board, a Joint Powers Authority, representing the North County Transit District. “Locally, I have been working to build more safe, legal ways to get across the railroad tracks and to reduce the impacts of trains on our quality of life,” Kranz said. “To these ends, the city received a $4.7 million grant from the state to build an under SEE KRANZ, A23

BY CHRIS SAUR Encinitas City Council candidate Mark Muir, who is running for reelection after five years on the Council, has truly been serving the public for his entire adult life. A native San Diegan, Muir was a career firefighter who eventually rose to the rank of fire chief for the city of Encinitas. In his five Mark Muir years on the Council, he has not accepted the retirement salary because “I’m retired and have the time to dedicate myself to protecting, preserving and promoting our wonderful city.” His current service extends beyond the City Council, as he is the Encinitas representative on the boards of the Encina Wastewater Authority; the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority; County Service Area (CSA)-17; North County Dispatch Joint Powers Authority (Chairperson); the Regional Solid Waste Association; the Santa Fe Irrigation District/San Dieguito Water District Badger Water Facilities Finance Authority; the Santa Fe Irrigation District/San Dieguito Water District Joint Facilities Advisory Committee; and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), and was recently elected as Chairperson of the San Diego County Water Authority. Muir has been named one of the top 25 leaders in the past 25 years, a Community Hero by the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce and awarded the San Diego County Taxpayer Golden Watchdog for his leadership on the creation of the North County Fire Management Services Cooperative Agreement. It all adds up, he says, to qualifications that he hopes the public considers when deciding which three of the five candidates — Muir, fellow incumbent Tony Kranz, Planning Commissioners Tony Brandenburg and Tasha Boerner Horvath, and former Assembly candidate Phil Graham — SEE MUIR, A19

M C C: S T M MiraCosta College is on the front lines of serving those who have served us. The college has 1,800 active-duty military, military dependents and military veterans enrolled at its campuses and has expanded its already expansive outreach efforts to current and former members of our armed forces. And while many community colleges focus on building the vocational skills of returning servicemen and servicewomen, MiraCosta also is helping veterans transfer to fouryear universities. The most recent example: An Oct. 21 workshop featuring UCLA admissions ofﬁcials working with veterans and active duty military members who are interested in transferring to the prestigious Westwood campus. UCLA speciﬁcally partnered with MiraCosta College because of its extensive outreach to veterans and its large population of students who have served or are serving in the armed forces. “I am a big advocate of outreach to service members and veterans,” said Brendan Duffy, who earned a degree from MiraCosta College in 2006 before transferring to UCLA, and who now works for Major League Baseball’s Advanced Media division in New York. “I think that the community college-to-UC/CSU track is one of the few remaining paths to upward mobility, and members of the military community should do everything they can to take advantage of California’s high quality – and highly subsidized – opportunities. Nowhere else in the country can you take classes for under 50 dollars per unit that will provide you with a direct path to a top-30 research university.” Jerry Borja, a MiraCosta College student whose eight years with the Marine Corps included tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, is planning to transfer to Cal State San Marcos next fall to study nursing. “There are a lot of opportunities here to get you set up to transfer to a four year college or university,” he said. “I work in the Veterans Center on campus and I’ve seen people go to UCSD, San Diego State, USC, UCLA. If you want to get there, MiraCosta College is going to help.” MiraCosta’s dedication to supporting veterans just earned the college

a designation as a Military Friendly School by Victory Media. The college is also known for: • Creating Southern California’s only Veterans Business Outreach Center to support service members from San Diego to Santa Barbara who are leaving the military and embarking on self-employment or entrepreneurship. The Veterans Business Outreach Center is based at the college’s Technology Career Institute in Carlsbad and showcases workshops that provide entrepreneurial training and counseling and assist clients in developing five-year business plans. • Joining with the Veterans Association of North County and Carlsbadbased ViaSat to create a new electronic assembly course benefitting those who are transitioning from the military for jobs as electronic assemblers at an advanced manufacturing company.

MIRACOSTA COLLEGE

IMPROVEMENT

MEASURE From Carmel Valley in the south to Camp Pendleton in the north, North San Diego County depends on MiraCosta College to prepare students for four-year college and future careers.

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - OCTOBER 28, 2016 - PAGE A9

PREPARING STUDENTS TO TRANSFER

As the cost of attending University of California and State University schools rises, more students are starting their education at the community college level. MiraCosta College helps to ensure that students who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford the high price of a university still have the opportunity to succeed in college and careers.

PREPARING STUDENTS FOR CAREERS

MiraCosta College is an essential part of the North County economy. We are a critical partner to local employers in biotech, manufacturing, and other industries that help our area and economy thrive.

SERVING OUR VETERANS

MiraCosta provides job placement, job training and counseling to approximately 1,800 Navy, Marine and other military veterans and their families each year.

COST OF MEASURE MM To continue providing a high-quality education for local students, the MiraCosta Community College District has placed MEASURE MM, a local facilities bond measure, on the ballot this November. The measure may generate $455 million to upgrade our college and will cost approximately $14.99 per $100,000 of assessed value (not market value) per year.

THE MEASURE WOULD PROVIDE LOCALLY-CONTROLLED FUNDING TO: Improve the Veterans Center to provide job training, job placement, counseling and support services Upgrade career training facilities for science, health care, technology and skilled trades Update instructional technology for improved student learning in core subjects like math, science and technology Improve access for students with disabilities Repair or replace leaky roofs, worn-out ďŹ&#x201A;oors and restrooms, old rusty plumbing and faulty electrical systems Update science centers and labs to allow for state-of-the-art courses in biology, chemistry and physical sciences

FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY WOULD BE REQUIRED All funds would stay in our community to support our local community college and students No funds could be taken by the State No funds could be spent on salaries or pensions

Classic themes show through CCA’s modern take on Romeo and Juliet

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY CHRIS SAUR William Shakespeare would not recognize some aspects of the upcoming Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theater presentation of Romeo and Juliet, as director Steve Lipinsky has chosen to set it in modern times complete with texting, tweeting and punk music during the transitions. Still, the backbone of the play, Shakespeare’s poignant language, isn’t changed because it doesn’t need to. “This story is so relevant today, when it comes to relationships, insecurities, parents trying to tell kids what they can and can’t do and trying to do the right thing,” said Lipinsky, whose version opens Oct. 28 for a five-night run at Proscenium Theater on the CCA campus. “Juliet and Romeo find each other at a time when they need someone to understand them, and that’s what we are all looking for — even as adults — trying to find that person who sees us for who we are and accepts us for who we are.” Lipinsky, 42, is a guest artist directing his third play at CCA. A San Diego native who spent many years as an equity theater actor, he has been teaching acting for the past 19 years. He teaches at Canyon Crest, privately and has

previously worked as the head acting coach at the San Diego Shakespeare Society and with the North Coast Rep Theatre School. “(For this job) I am teaching Shakespeare, I’m putting on a play, but I also see it as an excuse to teach confidence,” Lipinksy said. “These kids are going into the world and they may not become actors, but if they can stand on a stage and say these things with confidence, you can use that anywhere.” While the content is relatable today, that relatability is enhanced by Lipinsky’s use of modern technology, an idea that came from his 23-year-old cousin and is being integrated correctly into the play thanks largely to assistant director Constantine Mickens, who graduated from CCA last year. “They are using their cell phones, they are texting, they are tweeting,” Lipinsky explained. “We have some of those (texts/tweets) projected on the stage. But everything that is tweeted or texted on the screen is the actual Shakespearian language.” He added that the punk music during transitions is relatable to modern times while also fitting thematically with the play, which deals with teenage rebellion.

CHRIS SAUR

Cameron Lee-Bellows, left, and Aly Charfauros play the title characters at Canyon Crest Academy’s upcoming presentation of Romeo and Juliet, directed by Steve Lipinsky. Meanwhile, the bare bones set shifts the focus even more to the actors, including sophomore Cameron Lee-Bellows as Romeo and senior Aly Charfauros as Juliet. “I spend a lot of time with these kids in terms of telling the story,” Lipinsky said. “When I put together the play, a lot of it has to do with the cast that I have and how they start to interpret the language and take on the characters. I shift the play a little bit to work with who they are and what they are bringing to the table. “The reason I chose (Cameron) was his emotional accessibility. There aren’t a lot of high school boys who can connect to their heart in a public way. When I saw

his ability to show his vulnerability, I said ‘you’re in.’” Lee-Bellows, who has played The Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz and Biondello in Taming of the Shrew along with roles in 13 The Musical and The Secret Garden, has brought a little of himself to this classic character. “Romeo is definitely someone I’ve never really played before and is a difficult character to establish,” Lee-Bellows said. “I kind of put myself in the character by relating my own experiences with his and finding a middle.” For Charfauros, whose first lead in a musical was Shen Te in The Good Woman SEE PLAY, A19

Bestselling author Alice Hoffman to speak at RSF Library Guild event Nov. 10 BY LOIS ALTER MARK “As a reader, the books I’ve really loved are the ones that helped me through something,” said bestselling author Alice Hoffman. “And, as a writer, there’s nothing more special than when someone feels that way about a book I’ve written.” There’s little doubt thousands of readers will be feeling that way after reading her new novel, “Faithful,” which she will be talking about on Nov. 10 at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. This Author Lunch is presented by the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild, in partnership with Warwick’s. “Faithful” is the story of Shelby, a Long Island, New York teenager whose life is changed forever after she survives a car accident which destroys her best friend’s future. The book will be published on Nov. 1. “I’d been working on ‘Faithful’ for a while, put it away to write three big historical novels but kept coming back to it because I was really interested in Shelby,” said Hoffman. “I wasn’t sure what the story was but I knew I was writing about someone who had survivor’s guilt.” Fans of Hoffman’s work know that survivorship is a recurring theme in her books and one that the author herself is quick to acknowledge. “I think it’s because of my grandparents, who came from Russia and had such a hard life – and yet they survived,” explained Hoffman. “I was always in awe of what they managed to deal with and accomplish. I’m also a breast cancer survivor and ever since then have been even more fascinated by the idea of why one person lives and one person dies. “Sometimes you don’t even know why you’ve written a book until you’re finished,” continued Hoffman. “Maybe I was feeling guilty about surviving cancer when other people close to me had not survived.” Hoffman also credits Anne Frank’s “The Diary of a Young Girl” as a major influence on her subject matter. “It was huge,” she said. “I think when you read that book at a young

age, it’s so powerful. It has this incredible voice of a girl who’s so positive and so filled with life. Also, it really makes you think about the idea of who survives and who doesn’t. It’s kind of the big mystery and the big question.” Mystery is another signature of Hoffman’s writing – but more in the way of magic than thriller. “That’s from what I read growing up. I loved anything with magic. I loved fairy tales, I loved myths, I loved my grandmother’s stories and folk tales – that’s what I gravitated to,” she said. “The themes of fairy tales are so interesting psychologically and they’re actually so adult. They allow kids to subconsciously understand the deeper meaning of finding themselves and going through dangerous paths to become heroic.” Hoffman’s characters have shown their own heroism in so many different ways – some quite ordinary, others quite extraordinary – in her 25 novels, three books of short fiction and eight books for children and young adults. “I really try hard not to write from reality. I’m not that

interested in reality as either a reader or a writer,” she laughed. “Emotionally, true things do come out and I always think in some way I’m sort of writing about myself or my questions or what I’m interested in, but I don’t want to write about real people or real things. I really want to write from my imagination.” Over the past 40 years, Hoffman’s imagination has taken her readers all over the world and back and forth in time, yet one thing has remained consistent – her voice. “I had a professor who always said that every writer has a single voice and that nobody else can write like you,” she said. “And that’s true. It’s your voice. It’s like a fingerprint.” In “Faithful,” Hoffman’s voice especially comes through Shelby’s mother, a character who may physically spend more time in the background but whose love and emotional support are always very much present. “I feel very motherly toward Shelby,” admitted Hoffman. “In the end, I think I was really writing about this mother-daughter relationship. That, to me, is the heart of the book.” She went on, “I’ve been a mother and I’ve been a daughter, and I think I was a worse daughter than I was a mother. But even though we fought and, at times, didn’t even talk to each other, I always knew my mother was on my side. Always.” Hoffman believes that the things we hate our mothers for when we’re young are often the same things we admire and respect about them when we get older. Her wish for this book is that mothers and daughters will read it together to see and understand each other’s side. “I always feel like if you have one person standing by you, that’s all you really need,” she said. Hoffman will be speaking at the Author Lunch at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club on Nov. 10 at 11:30 a.m. Proceeds will benefit the Rancho Santa Fe Library.

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - OCTOBER 28, 2016 - PAGE A17

Casa Aldea will provide upscale senior living BY CHRIS SAUR orth Coast seniors looking for an assisted living and memory care facility that mixes upscale and vibrant, with the latest technology and a smaller, family-style feel won’t have to search any longer. Casa Aldea Senior Living, which embodies all of those qualities and more, is expected to open in early 2017 next to the Santaluz community and golf course. Owned by Aldea Partners, a group that also owns a facility in University City for seniors who need a little less care, the new facility will be managed by Integral Senior Living (ISL), which is headquartered in Carlsbad and managing around 60 facilities in more than 10 states. Casa Aldea will offer 47 assisted living apartments and 17 apartments in the secured memory care area. All residents have access to 24-hour onsite nursing in addition to a large care staff. Incoming residents, who start at age 60 in most cases, can be independent — and some care is included in the base pricing — but the idea for Casa Aldea is that they can offer more care as needed (including hospice) so seniors don’t need to move to a new place if their situation changes. “They can truly age in place,” said

Executive Director Tiffany Yin. “In terms of the amenities and the staff, we are going to have a very high expectation of customer service. We plan to give our residents an experience unlike any other.” Those amenities — which are in addition to the beautiful atmosphere provided by the two-story building with architecture influenced by Mediterranean and California styles — include a full-time concierge; 24-hour receptionist; gym; clubhouse with pool table; large theater for live performances or movies; full salon and spa; simple but upscale apartments (think granite counter tops and high-end bathrooms) and a large garden area. The garden area is beautifully landscaped with walking paths, a gazebo, raised planters for resident gardening and even bocce ball and a putting green. And then there is the food. Casa Aldea will offer ISL’s award-winning Dining by Design program, with anytime dining at both a restaurant and a more casual bistro/bar area, as well as outdoor dining and a private dining area available for parties. Additionally, there will be an extensive 24-hour room service program. The food will be courtesy of Chef Rene Cota, who has 30 years of experience providing fine dining at senior facilities.

“He is amazing,” Yin said. “(Other facilities) were very sad that we got him.” Built with the environment in mind, Casa Aldea will utilize solar power and has an energy-star certification to guarantee the lowest carbon footprint currently possible. It is also being built with technology in mind. Not only will it use the most up-to-date current technology, but it has been set up to easily advance with the times. Seniors and their families can reserve apartments now, and those that pre-lease will become members of the Casa Aldea charter club, which will come with bonuses such as financial concessions, welcome gifts and invitations to special events. But even non-charter members will feel like they are part of a family with only 64 total residents. “It will appeal to residents that want the resort-style feel and the customer service and the food and all of that, but they don’t want so much space,” Yin said. “We are more of a boutique-style community with all of the high-end feel.” For more information, visit www.casaaldeaseniorliving.com.

OPINION

The development “Lilac Hills” in Measure B is not suitable for a rural area. Many people in this rural community have orchards, vineyards and horses. Building many homes here is completely out of character with the area and it is against the current county zoning laws. The project would build around 1,700 homes in a mostly rural zone where current restrictions allow only about 100 homes to be built. This is unfair to the people who bought homes in the area based on those zoning laws. Even more so, it’s unfair to let the entire county vote on something when the most of the people voting don’t live among the people of this area. The good news is that the county did not approve their plan. The bad news is that now the vote goes to us; but we can do something about this. An objective analysis of the measure prepared by San Diego County indicated that the development would contribute significantly to regional traffic, likely leaving taxpayers with a bill of more than $1 Billion to address projected impacts. Vote no on Measure B to protect the environment and preserve open spaces for the people of this fine north county inland community. Steven Dusseau Encinitas

Vote no on Measure T In a few weeks, every voter will have the opportunity, and responsibility, to exercise their right to vote. Among the items on Encinitas ballots will be Measure T. This measure was formulated by the City Planning Commission based on the expressed wishes of the City Council. Citizens’ input had very little impact on the final form of the measure. Despite the city’s propaganda, no genuine citizen input was received or considered in the process of preparing this measure. Meetings billed as informational, and designed to elicit citizen input, were actually presentations of the city’s plan as a fait accompli. No serious discussions were had of the potentially disastrous impact of this much density increase to the city’s already over stressed infrastructure. During the Environmental Review stage, I read the Environmental Impact Report underlying the Housing Element Update. I confined myself to the sections dealing with traffic and noise. What I read was a completely inadequate examination of existing traffic patterns, based on single event observations at specific intersections. Analysis of projected future impacts on traffic was based largely on CalTrans parameters which consider a less than 15-minute wait to access a freeway on ramp to be acceptable. In addition to inadequate roadways, one of our biggest problems is parking, both commercial and residential. The lack of adequate off-street parking means many residential streets are effectively one way streets.

Yet the city proposes to allow even less off-street parking in newer developments. While the idealistic basis of this may be to encourage people to walk, bike or use public transit, the real effect will be to make our streets even more congested, impassable and dangerous for those foolish enough to walk or bike. I have lived in Cardiff for 30 years. I love this community and want to share it. I understand that growth is inevitable. A lot of it has occurred in the time I’ve lived here. But we must think about the existing quality of our infrastructure before we stack more houses and cars on the pile. The city must find a way to address the traffic, parking and noise issues we already have. In her recent op-ed piece, Councilwoman Lisa Shaffer referred to the high cost of having to potentially defend litigation if Measure T is not passed. What about the cost of failing infrastructure? What about the failure of the measure to address in any real way the state’s actual mandate, which is to provide affordable housing for all citizens. That is not in any way built into Measure T. Higher density will provide smaller— but just as costly per square foot — units. It will do nothing to address the real housing needs of those who live 6 or 8 or 10 to a single-family property in some of our neighborhoods because they cannot afford anything else. Let the city know all of its citizens need to have a voice in drafting a reality-based housing plan. Vote no on T. Barbara Murray Encinitas

The terrible Measure T By now you will have received oversized cardboard shingles in the mail from pro-development groups urging you to vote yes on Measure T. But, if you really want to preserve your peaceful neighborhood, community character and quality of life, you must reject Measure T. It is bad for the city. It is bad for you. And it does not provide affordable housing. All five Council members have aligned themselves with the building industry and want to disenfranchise you from having a voice in the future of your beach community. They have become useful lackeys by selling your rights out to greedy developers. They even overturned their own ordinances to settle frivolous lawsuits brought on by the building industry and land barons. They tell you that Measure T, as written, is required by state law. What they do not tell you is that Measure T goes way beyond state requirements. They scare you into believing that your state bureaucracy will impose its will onto this city if Measure T is voted down, that the state may sue. Rest assured, the state does not have the power to overturn the will of the people. It would violate your democratic rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. They tell you that “Measure T doesn’t add any housing.” They must take you for dummies. Developers already stand in line to quadruple their profits by taking advantage of property

rezoned for high-density, four-story structures with drastically reduced setbacks and parking areas. They tell you that only “13 small areas” were selected to allow for more housing. Folks, this is only the beginning. If approved, Measure T changes the General Plan and Municipal Codes irreversibly to allow higher densities of taller structures throughout the city. Resist urbanization of your unique beach town and the nefarious attempt to destroy your quality of life through increased traffic, pollution, noise and crime. They tell you that Measure T “ensures local residents continue to have control over new development.” But history has demonstrated that development-driven local governments don’t give a hoot about residents. They sell out to special interest groups every time. In Encinitas, they exploited the need for a Housing Element Update to destroy your right to vote on future zoning changes and on other changes to your General Plan. If you question these statements please read the entire 237 pages (originally over 800 pages) of the Housing Element Update before you vote. Measure T is a terrible plan. Demand a better plan that does not trash your General Plan. Demand one that will actually create affordable housing. Vote no on T. Dietmar Rothe Cardiff-by-the-Sea

Vote yes on Prop MM A yes vote on Prop MM is smart citizenship because community colleges have proven to be cost-effective, inclusive and effective. In my case, I don’t think I could have achieved my educational goals without it. When I left high school after sophomore year, I started on an unconventional road toward a university diploma that would not have been possible without MiraCosta College. Even though I wanted other experiences before going back to school full-time, my ultimate goal was a bachelor’s degree. Fortunately, I was able to enroll part-time at MiraCosta at age 16, and, for the next three years, I combined education, travel and work until I was ready-and-able to transfer to UC Santa Barbara as a junior, ultimately graduating with Highest Honors. At the time, I think most people were not convinced that I would succeed. And who could blame them? The prevailing narrative about college is that only one path leads to success. Fortunately, it turns out that community college is another path to many different types of higher education. The quality of the teachers, the flexibility of the schedule and the affordability of enrollment kept me engaged while allowing me to navigate my own course. If our community is at its best when everyone has access to higher education, then support for community colleges is vitally important. Vote yes on Prop MM and help MiraCosta improve its capacity to serve the students in our own neighborhoods. It’s a no-brainer. Chris Goldsmith President, Belly Up Entertainment

I didn’t even know I was capable of playing Juliet because she is a very rash, immature and just childish, young girl. “One of the most fun parts for me when I was finding the character was finding that I was that young girl … to a point I’m still maturing.

FROM MUIR, A7 should fill the open Council seats on Nov. 8. “My strong public service experience, fiscal record and community representation make me the most qualified candidate to fight for a balanced budget, prioritize spending and protect our local quality of life,” Muir said in an email to the Encinitas Advocate. The biggest challenge Muir says the Council faces right now is passing the Housing Element, which is on the ballot Nov. 8 as Measure T. “It’s a difficult process to educate and inform voters on the opportunities and consequences of having or not having a legal, balanced and quality housing plan that addresses community character and protects our small beach town quality of life,” Muir explained. “I think it’s important for the community to educate themselves on Measure T and make an informed decision.” Other issues Muir would like the chance to continue working on from the Council dais include preserving community character

FROM ROBERTS, GASPAR, A3 “All of these things, as a business person, would have put me out of business,” she said. “My leadership style is one of collaboration. I treat people with respect and autonomy.” For most of the election season, Roberts has had to defend himself against attacks based on the scandal. Gaspar brought it up twice at a recent forum hosted by the San Diego Farm Bureau. “Unfortunately, due to Mr. Roberts’ behavior, he immediately disqualified himself from serving,” Gaspar said. Gaspar’s campaign recently launched a “Hall of Shame” website that features Roberts alongside former disgraced San Diego Mayor Bob Filner and former Rep. Duke Cunningham, who was sent to prison in a bribery scandal. Roberts has started to fight back. He’s criticized Gaspar for supporting Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying that shows she’s not a moderate but an extremist. Since the primary, Gaspar has said that Trump lost her support. And Roberts said Gaspar will bend to special interests, and noted that the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Lincoln Club, and a consortium of developers spent heavily to help his opponent get elected. “People don’t give over a half-million dollars and don’t expect something in return,” Roberts said. Records show that two campaign committees backing Gaspar have contributed over $640,000. Gaspar said she’ll scrutinize any project and won’t green-light a development unless all the harmful impacts are neutralized.

you aren’t and know the difference between yourself and the character.

That’s why I’ve worked hard to ensure our city dedicates resources to improving our environment, to protect our community from overbuilding and recently requested that the Council do more to acquire open space and recreational trails. “I’m dedicated to protecting and preserving our local neighborhoods and community.” Muir and his wife Maureen, a San Dieguito Union High School District board member, have one son, Scotland. Mark Muir earned an associate degree in fire science, a teaching credential and a bachelor’s degree in emergency planning, and he’s currently working toward completion of a master’s degree in public administration from San Diego State University. Gaspar and Roberts have both declined to say how they will vote on Measure B, a ballot item that would amend the county’s general plan and zoning to allow for the 1,746-home Lilac Hills Ranch development. Currently the land is zoned for up to 110 homes. Both candidates said that complex land use decisions are best left in the hands of county supervisors, who have had the time to study the nuances and fine details of urban planning and development. Roberts has not taken a position on Measure A, a ballot item that will raise the county sales taxes by a half cent in order to partially fund transportation and infrastructure projects for four decades. Gaspar is opposed to the measure. The contest to represent District 3, an area that runs from northern San Diego up the coast to Encinitas, and encompasses Escondido, Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch, Carmel Mountain, Tierrasanta and other areas, has been one of the more-watched local races this year. Around 90 percent of the district is in an incorporated city that provides public safety and public works services and sets land use policies. But the supervisor is part of a five-member board that’s responsible for a $5.4 billion budget, countywide social services and public health initiatives, emergency responses, among other things. They also set land use policy, shaping unincorporated areas of the county that are largely outside their district but could still have impact on traffic, the environment, water and other issues within their area. — Joshua Stewart writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune

In the past few months, Ramos was suspected of committing several home break-ins around North County in which guns were stolen, sheriff’s officials said. Escondido police obtained a warrant for his arrest in one of their cases. Warrant documents said Ramos threatened some homeowners with a gun. He is suspected of confronting a contractor at gunpoint inside one Escondido home and chasing him on Oct. 3. In some of the burglaries, home surveillance cameras caught images of the suspect, since identified as Ramos. Deputies in Encinitas were aware of the warrant when they saw him on Orchard Wood Road about 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 24, Nelson said. “They thought he might be getting ready to commit another burglary,” Nelson said. He said Ramos took off in a black pickup. Deputies backed off on a pursuit because it became dangerous, but kept following him. Nelson said Ramos abandoned his truck at Rancho Santa Fe Road and Manchester Street, ran into a

parking lot and carjacked a silver two-door Toyota Scion. The owner, a 27-year-old man, was buckling his 7-year-old into a back car seat. The victim later told deputies Ramos pointed to a handgun tucked into his waistband and demanded to be driven away. Deputies saw the Scion leaving, so they trailed it, Nelson said. They pulled it over on North Coast Highway 101 south of La Costa Avenue. Nelson said Ramos jumped out, pointed his pistol at the father and son, then ran. About 50 feet away, Ramos stopped and pointed his gun at a deputy who was running after him, Nelson said. The deputy fired seven rounds at Ramos. The Scion owner later told investigators that Ramos aimed the gun at him several times while he was driving. “He was scared,” Nelson said. “He had a gun pointed at him, and his 7-year-old son was in the car.” The father and son were not injured. — Pauline Repard and Teri Figueroa write for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Nothing but love for CCA tennis seniors BY KAREN BILLING anyon Crest Academy Lady Ravens tennis team held its senior send-off for four special players on Oct. 20. Coach Larry Belinsky said that seniors Juliann Li, Emma Burton, Amanda Schiffman and Lily Richard leave behind a legacy of success, noted by the banners hanging on the school’s tennis court from the school’s first CIF Division 1 Championship in 2014 and CIF finalists in 2013. The varsity squad had a very strong season at 12-3 and will head into CIF Championship play this week hoping to bring home another banner. At the send-off, Belinsky took time to personally acknowledge each player. He said he admired and respected Co-Captain Emma’s ability to stay calm and focused even under the most stressful moments. “You have such a sweet and kind demeanor and never seem to let things get you down,” he said. Belinsky said fellow team Co-Captain Juliann was always striving to improve, a quality he thinks holds true in everything she does, not just tennis. “Your dedication to hard work and discipline will undoubtedly take you far in life,” Belinsky said to Juliann. He said Lily, the team’s fashionista, was a great team leader with a “bubbly, positive and tenacious attitude” and he was always impressed with her manner on and off the court. “On one hand you are loyal, caring, sensitive, respectful and charming,” he said. “On the other, you are a fierce competitor, a force to be reckoned with who I have never seen back away from a challenge.” To Amanda, the coach said he was proud that she had accomplished so much on the varsity squad over the last four years, including the championship and serving as co-captain in 2015. “I feel very honored to have been

associated with you as well as your loving family,” Belinsky said, wishing her luck in college. Athletic Brian Baum said the banners speak for what the tennis seniors have done during their time at CCA.

“I expect a lot of our student athletes and I think these four have demonstrated that over their four years here, being great role models for the individuals behind you (the Junior Varsity team), showing them how to behave, how to act and how to be a leader. That’s

what’s more important for me than the banners hanging out there,” Baum said. CCA looks to continue its strength in tennis as the aforementioned JV team went 14-0 this season and recently won the Avocado West League Championship.

Will My Caffeine Habit Cause Varicose Veins? Many of us would not get through the day without a cup of coffee or other kind of caffeine pick-me-up. For some people, the routine cup of coffee is a morning treat; for others, they may as well be hooked up to an IV, pumping in cup after cup to keep themselves going. Caffeine also comes in alternate forms;

some people prefer sodas, while others opt for black tea. A few people may not even realize they are consuming caffeine in their chocolate products. But more people now are taking note of the role that caffeine, particularly coffee, plays on the body. After too much caffeine intake, people can experience jitteriness and nervousness, as well as insomnia, muscle tremors, and upset stomach. Caffeine acts as a diuretic, though generally mild, but it can lead to some dehydration. The effect that most people ﬁnd themselves concerned with is a faster heartbeat after drinking more than the recommended amount of caffeine, which is up to 400 mg a day (or four cups of coffee). As caffeine is a stimulant, though, it does elevate heart rate and can increase blood pressure. This has many people wondering about the effects that caffeine intake can have on

the veins and whether or not ingesting too much caffeine can cause varicose veins. Caffeine does constrict the blood vessels, though this is a mild and short-term effect. But while elevated blood pressure can put a strain on your veins, generally, varicose veins are caused by a weakening of the venous walls. This weakening can occur with elevated blood pressure over a prolonged period of time—but it’s not generally the kind of damage that caffeine can do alone to the veins. The truth is that varicose veins tend to be hereditary, though people can experience varicose veins as a result of trauma, hormones, or standing and sitting for extended periods of time. Avoiding caffeine will not prevent a person from getting varicose veins. There is no foolproof method to preventing varicose veins, and once you get them, you are more

likely to see a recurrence of the blue, ropelike clusters under your skin. When this occurs, it’s time to consider sclerotherapy treatment, a painless in-ofﬁce treatment. Ultimately, you should probably avoid caffeine if you have elevated blood pressure, or you experience any of the negative symptoms associated with caffeine intake. However, if you are relatively healthy and experience good circulation, the impact on your veins is minimal and temporary. So go ahead and enjoy your cup of coffee—but like most things, moderation is key. Know your body and watch out for changes in how you feel, or if you see varicose veins start to form, or if your legs begin to swell with frequency. Varicose veins are a medical condition and most insurance plans will cover the sclerotherapy treatment required to remove them.

FROM COUNCIL, A1 During public comment, several residents — including former Encinitas Mayors Teresa Barth and Sheila Cameron, and Kathleen Lees, who is on the board of the Leucadia-Encinitas Town Council and was named in the third instance referenced in the letter — spoke harshly about the item even being on the agenda. Lees said her contact with Blakespear regarding the recommended list for the Coastal Mobility and Livability Study, formed in July, was far from a Brown Act violation, but, in fact, an example of government transparency, which is the spirit of the Brown Act. Since the first two instances mentioned came more than 90 days ago, and therefore no longer subject to Brown Act scrutiny as the Council and public was reminded by public speaker Marco Gonzalez, a local attorney, the focus turned to the most recent accusation. This incident highlighted words spoken between Shaffer and Blakespear regarding the Pacific View lease, which came moments

after a subcommittee meeting between fellow Council member Tony Kranz and Shaffer about the issue. Mayor Gaspar heard this conversation outside her office and said it met the criteria for a “serial meeting” violation of the Brown Act. Under the provisions of the Brown Act, City Council members are prohibited from having what are described as “serial meetings,” or conversation so that views of more than two members of the Council are discussed in succession outside of public view. Shaffer said there was no discussion of details of a draft lease for the Pacific View and “to the best of my recollection, I came out of the meeting, I passed by Council member Blakespear’s office, she said something like ‘how’s it going.’ I said something like ‘I’m working on the Pacific View lease’ and she said something like ‘we have to get that moving’ and that was it. “At the time we didn’t have a draft lease … to date no action has been taken to either approve or reject any specific plan, so for there to be a real Brown Act

violation, we would have had to have had a substantive discussion about the issue — which we didn’t — and the Council would have had to take action in some way that was influenced by the discussion — which we haven’t. “It’s a silly charge and pure political theater.” Kristin Gaspar’s husband Paul is running to replace her as Mayor, and Blakespear is his opponent. Several speakers mentioned that as the real reason the Mayor brought the issue before Council. “It is unfortunate that it took place, it was a violation of the Brown Act,” Kristin Gaspar said. “This was a five-minute conversation that took place out of the office, no matter how you want to spin it.” Blakespear did not speak during the Council discussion — they eventually voted 5-0 to put the issue to rest — but she told the San Diego Union Tribune on Oct. 25 that “the Brown Act is not meant to prevent normal human interactions.” She added that the Oct. 26 agenda item is “the Mayor’s politically-motivated

attempt to discredit me” to help get her husband elected. A few hours earlier, the Committee Opposed to Encinitas Measure T had a demonstration outside of city hall and co-chair Bruce Ehlers spoke and took questions from a group of around 40 residents. The committee had balloons set up at different heights — green for the height buildings are allowed to be under the current Encinitas zoning codes and red for the height they say will be allowed if Measure T passes. Similar demonstrations, complete with the balloons, are scheduled throughout the weekend at the sites around the city that will be affected by the Measure T vote. “Many people have difficulty visualizing the future impact of new buildings based on paper plans. Our balloons demonstrate the excessive height proposed in Measure T’s zoning changes,” Ehlers told the Encinitas Advocate. “Whether you are next to them staring up or attempting to look over them from a distant location, these balloons provide real world images of Measure T’s negative impact on our city.”
