New Sheriff’s captain believes in community policing BY JARED WHITLOCK

John Maryon recently took over as captain of the Encinitas Sheriff’s substation, but he’s by no means new to the community. This is Maryon’s fourth stint at the substation. He first worked as a patrol deputy in 1996, then in the community-oriented policing unit, and later was assigned to a street narcotics detail. “I’ve experienced local issues from the deputy level, the sergeant level and the detective level,” he said. Rising through the ranks at the substation made him a big believer of community-centric policing. The approach calls for officers to walk the beat and get to know residents and business owners. “As a younger deputy working in patrol, I didn’t always see the whole picture,” Maryon said while sitting in his office. “Later, I gained the understanding of ‘OK, I need to go out and meet people and get the community’s trust.’ You want to work with the public to solve problems.”
ENCINITAS ADVOCATE
The philosophy served him especially well when he was assigned to the local narcotics detail. Maryon said public tips and informants led to key arrests. “I knew the area,” he said. “I knew the community. I knew the pockets of places with drug issues. And I had good connections to citizens.” Community-oriented policing isn’t only about fighting crime, though. It can also be applied to quality-of-life issues, a big deal locally, Maryon said. “In the overall scheme of crime, someone parking in the red zone of a local school might not seem like a huge deal. But to the families dealing with it during pick-up — that’s their issue and should be our issue.” Maryon added that he has implored deputies to police as if it were their neighborhood. He’s also an advocate of “information-led policing,” as evidenced by his desk. It had a stack of paperwork that showed where and when calls for service occurred. Maryon said he soon planned to pore over SEE SHERIFF, A4

Psychology study helps lower water use in Encinitas BY JARED WHITLOCK Cal State San Marcos researchers have tapped behavioral sciences to help the Olivenhain Municipal Water District achieve state-mandated water cuts. University interns this summer handed out door hangers with five different conservation messages to 11,000 households in the district, and the researchers later tracked water use at these homes to see how residents responded. A “collective action and commitment” door hanger netted the best results — a 6.5 percent drop in water use. This hanger featured examples of residents reducing their water use, which worked because people tend to follow the behavior of the group, said Christine Jaeger, a CSUSM graduate student and project manager on the study. So it’s

A chart shows how much residents cut back each month under the five different messages. key to show instances reinforcing that conservation is a community norm. The bottom of the door hanger asked residents to sign a pledge to conserve, and about a third did so. Interns then returned the next day to pick up signed
commitments. “We know that commitments are generally effective,” Jaeger said. “They solidify a behavior. And signing your name is a pretty strong commitment — stronger than checking a box, for instance.” SEE WATER, A18

Commission rebuffs proposal to close F Street for events BY JARED WHITLOCK
The Encinitas Traffic and Public Safety Commission on Nov. 9 roundly rejected a proposal to close F Street, between Coast Highway 101 and Fourth Street, for the Encinitas Station Farmers Market and Classic Car Cruise Nights. In voting unanimously to reject the idea, the commission directed staff to explore other downtown streets that could be potentially shuttered for events. “I like the concept, just not here,” Commissioner Brian Grover said.
Commissioner Charlie Lisherness said in light of staunch public opposition, it was easy to rule out closing F Street. All of the nine public speakers said this would block access to businesses and homes. Most also said it would create traffic headaches. “It’s probably the worst thing I’ve ever heard come out of the city of Encinitas so far,” said Charlie Sougias, owner of Charlie’s Foreign Car Service, to audience applause. Councilman Tony Kranz in September proposed that the commission get feedback on closing the street,

The Encinitas Traffic and Public Safety Commission came out against a proposal to close this stretch of F Street during community events. because future development at F Street and Coast Highway 101 will displace Classic Car Cruise Nights
and other community events. “I was thinking it would be good to begin the
conversation to see about the possibility of designating F Street — between the 101 and, say, Fourth Street — as a gathering place for events,” Kranz said at that time. Kranz also stated that F Street might be a good home for the Encinitas Station Farmers Market, at Vulcan Avenue and E Street every Wednesday night. Encinitas 101 Mainstreet Association, which hosts the Farmers Market, is interested in relocating the event to increase parking and visibility, said Thora Guthrie, the group’s executive director. Guthrie
too voiced concern with closing F Street, but said closing a different downtown road for community events should be looked at. City traffic engineer Rob Blough at the beginning of the meeting said that if the commission favors the proposal, closing the road would require various permits and approval from the council. Blough also noted that the Encinitas Fire Department listed reservations over the idea, including that it would be tougher to hook up to fire hydrants during emergencies.
Encinitas bans Roundup weed killer in parks BY BARBARA HENRY, SPECIAL TO THE ENCINITAS ADVOCATE The use of Roundup and other glyphosate-based, weed-killing products is no longer allowed in Encinitas city parks. The City Council unanimously approved the ban Oct. 28 and city parks
employees estimated they would be ready to make the changeover by Nov. 2. Replacing Roundup and other similar weedkillers with alternative, glyphosate-free substances is expected to cost Encinitas an extra $3,000 to $4,000 a year — a small amount, given the great public health benefits, Councilwoman Lisa Shaffer
said. “Three thousand to $4,000 is nothing,” agreed Councilwoman Catherine Blakespear. Roundup is often referred to as the world’s most frequently used herbicide, both in agricultural areas and in residential yards. Publicity material from Monsanto, the
multinational corporation that produces Roundup, states that when the product is applied correctly according to label directions, it “does not pose an unreasonable risk to human health, the environment or non-target animals and plants.” Environmental health advocates disagree,
contending that glyphosate has been linked to human health problems, including cancer and illnesses involving the central nervous system. Countries including Mexico, Russia and Netherlands recently have banned its use. In early September, the state of California’s Environmental Protection

Agency announced that it was proposing to list the glyphosate as a “substance known to cause cancer.” At the council meeting, an Encinitas beekeeper said the city’s proposed ban was great for bees and for people. “What’s killing our pollinators is killing us too, and I’m absolutely delighted SEE BAN, A4

Public asked to help identify burglary suspect BY JARED WHITLOCK San Diego County Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to an arrest in an attempted burglary in Encinitas last month. Surveillance video taken about 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 25
showed a man trying to burglarize the home of an elderly woman in the 2400 block of El Camino Del Norte. The suspect tried to open a door in the home, and the security alarm went off when he attempted to pry a window open. A photo from the surveillance video was
released Nov. 9. The suspect is described as a white male, between 35 and 45 years old, about 6 feet 2 inches tall with a normal build. He has a mustache and brown wavy hair that’s brushed back, according to deputies. The man was last seen wearing thick wrap-around
sunglasses, a green short-sleeved shirt and khaki cargo pants. The same home was burglarized May 26 while the homeowner was attending her husband’s funeral. Suspects in that case entered the home and tried to steal a safe, but were unsuccessful.

10 Questions with Max Opferkuch: ‘Music is always providing a challenge’ 10 Questions is an Encinitas Advocate feature spotlighting interesting people in the community. Avid musician Max Opferkuch, 17, is the principal clarinetist with the Mainly Mozart Youth Orchestra and the San Dieguito Academy Wind Ensemble. A high school senior at San Dieguito Academy, he wasas born in San Diego, and have lived in Encinitas nearly his whole life. “My father is a local jazz musician, so I grew up hearing lots of music in my home,” said Max. “I started music on the piano at the age of 5, and took up violin at the age of 10 and clarinet at the age of 12. I’ve stuck with the violin for seven years now, and the clarinet for five, and clarinet has become my primary instrument.” He’s also performed with the San Dieguito Union High School District honor band, the Coastal Communities Concert Band honor band, the California Band Directors Association All-State bands, the binational Youth Orchestra of the Californias, and in side-by-side performances with the San Diego Symphony and the Mainly Mozart Festival Orchestra. He won the Grand Prize in the 2015 San Diego Clarinet Society Young Artist’s clarinet competition and the 2015 Coastal Communities Concert Band Don Caneva Memorial Scholarship. Max hopes to continue to study music in college, as well as exploring other areas of interest, such as the natural sciences, and discovering new ones. “Whatever field I go into, whether or not I ultimately become a professional musician, I plan to continue playing music for the rest of my life,” said Max. What brought you to Encinitas? My parents. My family moved to Encinitas when I was less than a year old, and I’ve been living here ever since. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in Encinitas? Not that these things don’t already exist, but I’d love to see more arts outlets, and more opportunities for high school students to get out there and involved in the community.
FROM BAN, A2 to see this go forward,” said James McDonald, owner of the Encinitas Bee Co. McDonald, who helped lead the successful campaign earlier this year to eliminate the city’s use of bee-killing, neonicotiniod insecticides, said that banning the use of glyphosate-based products would stop the build-up of toxins in honey and honeycomb, and protect baby bees. Blakespear mentioned that Glen Park became the city’s first “organic” park earlier this month. He asked what will be different between Glen Park and the city’s other parks once the new

FROM SHERIFF, A1 the stats to see whether officers should be redeployed or work different times. Outside law enforcement, he has gotten to know many in the community because he lives in south Carlsbad with his wife and two kids, who go to La Costa Canyon High School. Plus, he has coached various local youth sports. “It really makes it more personal here to keep it safe when your family is shopping here, and your friends’ homes could potentially be victimized by burglaries and thefts.” Maryon, who grew up in
San Diego, originally wanted to be a pilot. A friend later persuaded him to give law enforcement a try. Twenty-three years into the career, he hasn’t looked back. “It’s exciting — it’s something different every day. I don’t like sitting still and being indoors all day.” Maryon previously served as the Sheriff’s Department homicide lieutenant. When Maryon was promoted to captain, his first choice was the Encinitas substation, also called the North Coast Station. “I thought, ‘I’d love to come here, since I have community ties.’” He replaced Theresa

If you hosted a dinner party for eight, who (living or deceased) would you invite? That’s a tricky list to narrow down. If I wanted some musical insight: Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Stravinsky, Daniel Bonade, Anthony McGill. What are your favorite movies? A couple of my favorites have been “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” and “2001: A Space Odyssey.” What’s the most challenging aspect of what you do, and what’s the most rewarding? Music is always providing some sort of challenge for me, whether it’s learning a new piece, working on my technique, sound, and phrasing, or simply finding time to juggle music and school work. But any challenges I’m presented are well worth the great music I get to play and the people I’ve met playing it. What do you do for fun? In case you hadn’t already guessed, I do a lot of music and music-related activities for fun. I also enjoy spending time with my family and getting together with my friends. What is it that you most dislike? Being sick, especially when I’m busy. What do you hope to accomplish next? First and foremost, I’m working on getting my college applications and music prescreening tapes out the door. Beyond that, I hope to do well in my college auditions and in the rest of my senior year and get into a school where I can have a great educational, musical, and personal experience. What is your motto or philosophy of life? Beethoven said, “To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.” I think that’s applicable both to music and to our lives. Adams-Hydar, who will be handling internal operations within the Sheriff’s Department. As captain, he oversees not only Encinitas, but also Del Mar, Solana Beach and unincorporated areas like Rancho Santa Fe. One focus for Maryon is combating an increase in shoplifting along El Camino Real in Encinitas, particularly with the upcoming holiday shopping season. He didn’t want to give away methods for how the Sheriff’s Department is tackling this, but said to trust that it’s a priority. Another growing problem is thieves preying on joggers and surfers who park on Coast Highway 101 and
stash their car keys nearby or on the beach. Maryon said deputies are increasingly keeping an eye out for thieves and also warning residents to keep their keys on them. Downtown Encinitas issues, including vandalism, vagrancy, littering and drug use, took center stage this summer during Encinitas City Council meetings. Maryon said he’ll continue dedicating more resources to the area and partnering with the city on issues. He added that he’ll look to the community as a partner in the process. “It’s not an us versus them. We have to do it together.”

From war to peace: Subject of famous photo shares story at The Bridges BY DIANE Y. WELCH A photograph captures a defining moment in 1972 during the height of the Vietnam War. A little girl is screaming in pain, trying to outrun the napalm that bombed her village of Tang Bang and that burned her body. The image is forever seared into a global consciousness. Today that child is 52 and is a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Peace. Phan Thi Kim Phuc is considered an international treasure for the work that she now undertakes to help other victims of war-torn countries. The picture, awarded a Pulitzer Prize for AP photographer Nick Ut, illustrated the horrors of war thrust upon an innocent 9-year-old child. Some say the power of that image helped end the war. Phuc shared her subsequent story of “Love, Hope and Forgiveness” with a rapt audience as part of “The Insiders’ Series” at The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe on Nov 3. Invited by residents Jennifer and J.R. Meyers, Phuc’s presentation brought
tears and reverent silence as she described the haunting day that defined her life and how since then she has suffered unimaginable pain. Phuc’s life was saved by Ut that fateful day in June, 43 years ago, when he covered her naked body and accompanied her to a hospital, where she was given up for dead and placed in the morgue. Her family found her three days later, still alive, but barely. A doctor arranged to have Phuc transferred to a Saigon hospital. After 17 operations, she survived. “Inside me was a strong little girl determined to live,” she said. With her skin horribly disfigured, Phuc soon discovered — despite her survival — that the pain within her body would never go away. From this act of violence, Phuc’s presentation traced her life, weaving a tale of tenacity as she grew stronger — aided by her loving mother — then went to school and was transferred to Havana University to study English and Spanish, where she met her future

husband, Bui Huy Toan. Long haunted by “that picture,” and the fact that the Vietnamese government had used her as a propaganda tool, Phuc knew in her heart that if she was ever going to be allowed the freedom to live on her terms, she would have to defect. The chance came as the couple were returning to Cuba after a honeymoon in Moscow when their plane took a refueling stop in Newfoundland. They had only split seconds to decide. But Toan agreed to Phuc’s plan and they never got back on the plane, defecting to Canada where they were free to start a family and lead
bombed her village asked for her forgiveness. Capt. John Plummer had suffered his own open wound since that fateful day, and Phuc did not hesitate to forgive him. “It was a true reconciliation, more powerful than any weapons of war,” she explained. Through her experience, Phuc has learned invaluable life lessons that we can all benefit from. Her belief in her Christian faith, her hope for humanity, and her ability to see the positive aspects of life have changed her perspective from a wounded victim to an ambassador of peace and forgiveness, despite her constant pain.

That plan changed when a photographer sought Phuc out and took a photograph, which once again had her unwittingly gaining worldwide attention. As her story was being retold, Phuc was invited to speak at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., in 1996, where she humbly spoke of peace. “I saw the rows upon rows of names. It was very emotional for me,” she recalled. But the event became far more than a public speech when the serviceman who had piloted the plane that

Dancers, puppets, lamas star in ‘Oldest Boy’ at San Diego Rep BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT What if you were a young American mother and one day a couple of Tibetan monks came to your door, told you your 3-year-old son was the reincarnation of a revered Buddhist lama, and asked you to let them take him to their monastery in India, so he could be raised as the spiritual teacher they knew him to be? That’s the central question of “The Oldest Boy,” a luminous new production coming Thursday, Nov. 12, to San Diego Repertory Theater. Written by multi-awardwinner Sarah Ruhl, it’s a far cry from the playwright’s “In the Next Room, or The Vibrator Play,” staged by the Rep in 2011, though it does sound a lot like “Little Buddha,” a 1993 film by Bernardo Bertolucci, in which a Seattle couple is visited by Tibetans who think their son may be a reincarnated lama. But “The Oldest Boy” has a style and approach all its own. For one thing, the 3-year-old boy is played by a puppet, worked by a pair of
dancing puppeteers and voiced by a Tibetan actor/singer/dancer/ musician who is, in fact, the Oldest Boy. Tsering Dorjee Bawa, born in Tibet, raised in India, and based in the Bay Area, was an integral part of the New York production at Lincoln Center Theater last year, appearing onstage, and acting as a cultural consultant who made sure all the Tibetan details were right. Fresh from playing the Oldest Boy at the Marin Theatre Company in Mill Valley, he is reprising the role here. Ruhl, who, besides being a MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, Tony nominee, and this year’s most-produced female playwright in the country, is also the mother of three children, has said that the play was inspired by conversations with a longtime babysitter, originally from Tibet. After recounting her harrowing escape from Chinese–occupied Tibet to India, the woman shared a more recent story about Tibetan friends of hers in
Boston who were visited by Buddhist monks and informed that their son was a reincarnated lama. They were now living in India, where the boy was in a monastery, being raised as a Buddhist priest. The story made Ruhl consider what it meant to be a mother wanting the best for her child, but torn between personal attachment and spiritual commitment. And so “The Oldest Boy” was born. Director Sam Woodhouse said Ruhl is one of his favorite writers. “She’s profound, whimsical, intimate and expansive,” he said. “And ‘The Oldest Boy’ is a fascinating, extraordinary piece of work.” He called the play “funny, mysterious, magical, beautiful and exotic.” It’s a meditation on loving and letting go with gorgeous costumes (some from a Tibetan cultural center in the Bay Area), ethnic dance, gongs, bells, drums, masks and puppetry. Plus, it’s a chance to learn something about Buddhism, and the resilience and beauty of Tibetan culture.

Novel details unique life, voice of 19th-century female writer BY JOE TASH When novelist Elizabeth Berg came upon a few choice facts about the 19th-century French writer Aurore Dupin — who smoked cigars, often wore men’s clothing and worked under the pen name George Sand — she hungered for more details. Berg searched for a novel to read about Sand to help her gain an artistic appreciation of the writer, who penned more than 80 novels and plays during a 40-year literary career that began in the early 1830s. “There were no novels, so I had to write one,” said Berg, who spoke at the Nov. 5 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society, kicking off the group’s 2015-2016 season. The result of her efforts is “The Dream Lover,” a novelized, first-person account of Sand’s life, published in 2015 by Random House. Berg steeped herself in knowledge about the period of her novel, which is set in Paris, at Sand’s inherited country estate, Nohant, and in Italy. She read biographies, many of Sand’s novels, as well as books on the history and fashions of the times. She also read letters between Sand and some of her famous friends, such as Gustave Flaubert, author of “Madame Bovary.” Most of the story is true to life, said Berg, although she did imagine some key scenes and also invented both dialogue and the thoughts of her main character. “She had such an extraordinary life, there was very little reason to gild the lily,” said Berg, the author of some 25 books, including the novels “Open House,” “Talk Before Sleep,” and “Durable Goods.” The book details Sand’s childhood, and the critical decision she made at age 27 to leave an unhappy marriage and move to Paris, where she launched her literary career. “We rolled slowly through the gates of the estate, and then the driver turned the carriage onto the main road, which made a clicking sound, and the horses began a rapid trot. When we passed the cemetery that lay directly to our right, I looked over the graves of my father and my grandmother. I thought
about the ways in which one is shaped, starting from birth and even before, into the person one becomes. One cannot stand isolated from those who came before him, and fate decrees that there are many other things over which one has no control. Yet if one has courage and resolve, there are ways to make changes in one’s life,” Sand muses as she departs from Nohant, in an excerpt from “The Dream Lover.” Sand takes a job reviewing plays for a literary magazine, and is told by her editor that she must buy her own tickets for the performances. The editor said women were allowed to sit only in expensive box seats, but men could stand or sit in cheaper parts of the theater, and that if she dressed in men’s clothing she could save money. Later, Sand embraced her male persona, enjoying what she perceived as more respectful treatment. In the novel, Berg addresses the feminist issues confronted by her chief protagonist, who chafed at the laws and customs of the day that were discriminatory against women. For example, although Sand inherited her grandmother’s estate, her estranged husband retained fiscal control of the property even after the couple’s separation. Also, a man could divorce a woman for infidelity, while a woman had no such legal right. “She prized the ideal of marriage and family life, but she didn’t see the ideal playing out, she saw a lot of inequities playing out,” Berg said. “She was a product of the age of Romanticism. She was in love with being in love.” The novel chronicles Sand’s romances and friendships with many prominent male and female artistic figures, from writers such as Balzac and Alfred de Musset, to the pianist and composer Frederic Chopin, to the famous actress Marie Dorval. Through her reading, Berg believes that Dorval was the great love of Sand’s life. But the two never established a permanent relationship, and Dorval died, broke and nearly forgotten, at 51. Sand died at age 71 at Nohant, in 1876.

Seeing red (or pink, or white) through the holiday season BY EVELYN WEIDNER You buy your beautiful poinsettia and you want it to look gorgeous all through the holidays and maybe for at least a few weeks afterwards. Will it happen? Here are Evelyn Weidner’s best pointers for poinsettia success. • Buy a good poinsettia to start with. If you start out with a poinsettia that has been sitting in a shipping box for a week or two, it will look good when you buy it, but it is already on its way down, because poinsettias do not like being caged up in the dark. • Do not buy a poinsettia that has leaves already falling off, or flowers that have botrytis rotting spots on them. • Buy the right poinsettia for the right place and get the right advice. • Buy from a reputable source where you can talk to someone who knows which poinsettia is best for your spot. Example: You want to put your poinsettias outside in the open. Make sure the plants are short enough so they won’t fall over in the wind. Ask for poinsettias that

With proper care, poinsettia plants should last you through the holidays and maybe even beyond. take the outdoors best. Bury your pots halfway down to make them last better. A happy poinsettia is not too wet and not too dry. The smaller the pot size, the more often they need to be watered. Larger pots have more soil and need water less often. Your finger is the best moisture meter. Lift the pot and feel the weight. Dry pots are light and the soil is dry to the
touch. Water well and then let it drain. Crushed ice works great! Watch the leaves for that first hint of wilting — then water. If you let your plants dry to the point of leaves being really wilted and drooping, you will lose all those leaves. Trust me. They are already dying; it just takes a few more days for them to fall off. Or you are trying to be good, so you leave your pot sitting in water.
This is like drowning the roots. Roots that have drowned are like house plumbing that is all clogged up. The water cannot move through, so your plant dies a slow and painful death. The best spots are where you get good, bright light, but not hot sun. To be honest, I have put poinsettias in dark corners and light corners, and I can’t see much difference. Just not in front of hot air vents or on top of hot TVs. There is a natural progression in poinsettias, just like all living things. The first parts of your poinsettia to go are the little yellow true flowers. The red parts that we call the flower are really modified leaves (bracts). The next natural step is to lose some of the bottom leaves. Not all of them, but some. Your poinsettia bloom should last well through the holidays, and it is not at all unusual to have them still good for Valentine’s Day. By St. Patrick’s Day, it is time to cut back the blooms. If you do not cut off the red bract blooms, your poinsettia cannot grow naturally during the summer.

Handcrafted celebrates one-year anniversary in Solana Beach
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KRISTINA HOUCK It’s been one year since Handcrafted opened its doors in Solana Beach’s Cedros Design District. Having owned similar shops over a nearly 30-year career in the retail industry, Danny Burris said the business is off to a great start. “We’re pleased,” said Burris, who co-owns the shop with his life and business partner, Michael Gamble. “Handcrafted is doing better than any of the other galleries in its first year.” Originally from Louisiana, Burris has owned and operated several galleries. In 1987, he opened his first gallery in his hometown of Baton Rouge. He later opened two more in North Carolina, where he met Gamble, an accountant, and another in Hawaii. The couple have worked together since and will celebrate their 13-year anniversary in November. After backpacking through Central America, the pair opened Pura Vida Gallery in 2004 in Jerome, Ariz., where they have a home. In Spanish, “pura vida” means “pure life,” but to Burris and Gamble, the words convey the outlook of the people of Costa Rica when they say, “Pura vida. Life is good.” “As long as you surround yourself by beautiful handcrafted items that really mean something, life is good,” Burris said. Although business was booming in Arizona, Burris and Gamble missed the beach. So a decade after opening the Arizona store, they opened a location in San Diego. “We missed the ocean,” recalled Burris, who also lives with Gamble part-time in Del

Handcrafted features products from more than 100 American artists. Mar. “When I found South Cedros, it piqued my curiosity. Serendipitously, we got a space here.” A Pura Vida Gallery, Handcrafted opened in October 2014. The store features products from more than 100 American artists. From fine art and fabrics, to jewelry and home décor, the Solana Beach storefront offers something for just about anyone. “We carry functional, affordable art,” Burris said. “We feel everyone should be able
to afford a piece of handcrafted art.” He hand-selects everything that is carried at Handcrafted, traveling to art shows across the country to find the perfect collection for the store. And because he’s been in the business for nearly three decades, Burris has known some of the artists he represents for years. He’s always on the lookout for new artists or local talent, such as Alpine jewelry designer Denise Disharoon and Oceanside
fashion designer Tami Zohar. “I’ve met every artist in the gallery. I actually know who’s making these,” Burris said. “The things in your home mean something when they’re handcrafted.” Handcrafted is at 415 S. Cedros Ave., Suite 120, in Solana Beach. The store is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. “I like sharing the beauty of the artwork with customers,” Burris said. “It’s really my favorite thing.” Call 858-847-2385 or visit www.handcraftedsolanabeach.com.

In her documentary "Underexposed," she chronicled how tough it is for female skateboarders to make it professionally, given so few sponsorship opportunities. The Encinitas City Council approved the event in June, and at that time, Brodka said the Encinitas Skate Plaza has the ideal design and layout for the event. The Encinitas Parks and Recreation department helped host the event, which featured bowl, street and vert contests. It also had vendor booths, a yoga clinic and learn-to-skate clinics. Proceeds will go to Community Resource Center’s Carol’s House, a North County domestic violence emergency shelter. For a list of contest winners, visit exposureskate.org. Photos by Jared Whitlock.

Local leaders endorse ‘It Can Wait’ campaign New research shows that 7 of 10 people engage in smartphone activities while driving — checking email, posting to social media, and even snapping selfies. AT&T’s national “It Can Wait” campaign is reminding people of the dangers of distracted driving through virtual reality. AT&T held an event Nov. 6 at its Encinitas retail store with local officials to showcase the dangers of texting and driving and discuss tech solutions to curb the behavior. Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar, Deputy Sheriff David Rosenthal and other members of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce were there to test the virtual reality simulator and encourage customers to sign the pledge board. The “It Can Wait” simulator provides an immersive and realistic look at the dangers of distracted driving. Parents got help setting up the AT&T DriveMode app, a free app that can be enabled to silence incoming text message alerts, and help avoid distractions, allowing

Encinitas Dia de los Muertos Encinitas Friends of the Arts (EFA) and the city of Encinitas Arts Division held the second Encinitas Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Festival Nov. 1 at the Encinitas Community and Senior Center. The historical roots of the celebration date to the pre-Hispanic cultures of Meso-America and the indi genous peoples, especially the Nahua (Aztecs, Mayans, Toltecas, Tlaxcaltec, Chichimec, Tecpanec) and others native to Mexico for more than 3,000 years. “This event raises awareness and an appreciation for this significant Latino cultural celebration,� said Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar.

Real Bar & Bistro offers lunch and dinner service daily and brunch on Sunday.
Solana Beach’s Real eatery still surprising locals with fresh combinations Despite a new name and an updated menu, there’s one thing that always remains at Real Bar & Bistro: real food and drinks. The Solana Beach restaurant opened as Real Food & Spirits at the start of 2013. Almost three years later, brothers and co-owners Mark and Colin Urquhart are still surprising locals with fresh ingredients and a fusion of flavors. The restaurant brought Executive Chef Willy Eick on board not long after the New Year and officially changed its name in the spring to better represent what Real Bar & Bistro is all about. “Really, what we are is real,” Mark Urquhart said. “Food are our ingredients. Our ingredients are not food.” With sustainability an important part of Real Bar & Bistro, most ingredients are locally sourced. The produce, meat, poultry and fish come from local gardens, farms, ranches and fisheries. Dough, pasta, meat, sauce, cheese and other items are made from scratch in-house. “We focus on clean food,” Urquhart said. “Our food is authentic.” Urquhart opened the restaurant with his younger brother after working in medical sales for a decade. After four years of planning and searching for a location, they selected the Solana Beach storefront, equipped with a high-temperature wood oven and another commercial oven. “This was something we wanted to do because it was an opportunity to really pursue our passion, bring some great people together and be part of the community,” said Urquhart, a Solana Beach resident who grew up in Del Mar and Solana Beach. Real Bar & Bistro offers lunch and dinner service daily and brunch on Sunday. The menu features a variety of salads, soup, pasta, pizza and dishes with meat, poultry and fish. There are also plates to share that are perfect for a date, from fresh

oysters to fingerling potatoes. “A lot of it is trying to trigger nostalgic moments in people’s lives or taking my nostalgic moments and putting them in front of people so they can have the same experience,” said Eick, whose dishes are often inspired by his own memories. The wood-fired octopus pickle puree includes sunflower seeds, potatoes and IPA vinaigrette — items his father would enjoy while watching football. In an effort to “elevate” simple dishes, Eick also combines unusual ingredients to create a unique experience. The fingerling potatoes, for example, are made with buttermilk, brigante cheese, honeycomb and mint. “It works well together, and it’s an uncanny combination,” Urquhart said. “We take risks. We’re trying to break the mold and take our guests on a journey.” Real Bar & Bistro is at 124 S. Solana Hills Drive in Solana Beach. Lunch starts at 11 a.m. daily with dinner service from 4-9:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Brunch is also available from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Gracie, a 25-year-old Thoroughbred, is looking for a Companion Home. This beautiful girl was transferred from another shelter. She has spent the last few years at a retirement center, where she helped people learn how to ride. Now that she is a bit older, she doesn’t move as easily as she used to. She can buck and play on her own just as well as younger horses, but she is no longer rideable and is looking for a Companion Home only. Gracie gets along well with other horses, as long as she can “rule the roost.” This beautiful girl would love to spend her golden years sharing her sweet nature with a loving family. Gracie is available for adoption at San Diego Humane Society’s escondido campus at 3450 east Valley Parkway. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275 or email livestock@sdhumane.org.

The 6.5 percent reduction is an average of July, August and September of this year. Monthly totals in the study were compared with use in June 2015, the first month in which water agencies across California were required to cut back in response to a punishing drought. Messages fell into three categories: reminders of penalties for violating drought rules, community efforts to save water and general information on water restrictions, including the prohibition on watering landscaping more than two days per week. Some of the door hangers in the two former categories also included a call for a signed pledge. It’s common for water agencies to put up door hangers that simply list drought restrictions, but that traditional messaging doesn’t appear to be effective. The study found this information-only approach reduced use by 2.5 percent from July to September — about the same as a control group that didn’t receive any materials. “When we give people just information, it’s not really motivating,” Jaeger said. “They need a little kernel of motivation to follow through.” She added that past conservation research, known for looking at curbside recycling, has established the importance of pledges in sparking behavior changes. Studies have shown that in non-recycling households, recycling increased substantially for those who made a commitment. Another batch of door hangers, which had a reminder of penalties for violating drought restrictions and then a request for a signed commitment, worked second best with a 4 percent drop. The message was most effective in the first month, but water savings quickly declined over the next two months. The study also analyzed how those with especially green lawns responded to the five messages in July. Among them, the “penalties and commitment” door hanger was the least effective of all approaches, with a 4.5 percent drop. “They probably didn’t appreciate this reminder they could be penalized —
maybe they heard it before,” Jaeger said. Given the findings, water districts may want to go easy on language that threatens penalties when dealing with these customers, she said. On the other hand, the “collective action and commitment” door hanger sparked a 15.7 percent drop for those with green lawns in July, as opposed to a 10.4 percent decline in the general population. “These findings suggest that commitments made after receiving collective action information lead to long-term water reductions,” the study states. The Olivenhain district is just exceeding its state-imposed mandate to slash water use 32 percent when compared with baseline months in 2013. The study is comparing July, August and September of 2015 water use with June of this year, and before the studied months, water consumption had fallen. Joey Randall, customer services manager with the district, said the study is partly responsible for the continued decline in water use, helping the district surpass the state requirement. Randall said the water district soon plans to retool its customer drought communications with the study in mind. “We do know that only putting the drought restrictions on paper doesn’t seem to cut it,” Randall said. “Potentially because people have seen those so many times — they’re desensitized.” Jaeger said it’s likely that a variety of messages are needed to persuade customers to cut back long-term, from reminders of penalties for violating drought restrictions to highlighting community efforts to conserve. But that’s as long as these opposing messages don’t appear on the same door hanger. She added that residents’ pledges to save water are critical, but these requests also have to be varied over time. “It probably wouldn’t be effective to ask the same households to make the same commitments over and over again,” she said. Besides conservation messaging, the Olivenhain district has met its target by increasing water rates and stepping up enforcement. SEE WATER, A19

FROM WATER, A18 However, district officials have stated they’d prefer education when possible, a big reason they partnered with the university. In May, the district’s board approved $48,191 to cover
many of the study costs. The Olivenhain district includes 20,000 households and covers the eastern half of Encinitas, parts of Carlsbad, Elfin Forest and 4S Ranch. Most of the households in the study were in Carlsbad and
Encinitas. Jaeger said the university is open to sharing the research with more water agencies. “Our goal was to create something that’s scalable,” she said.
