Online campaign renews Cardiff rail trail debate

BY JARED WHITLOCK

■ Officials celebrate new recycled water project for Village Park. A2

Lifestyle

A resident’s online campaign to stop the Cardiff rail trail has reignited debate over the biking and walking path five months after it won city approval. Resident Joe Alkhas last week started norailtrail.com. It calls for the Encinitas City Council to reconsider a plan to put the rail trail east of the tracks along San Elijo Avenue in Cardiff. As of Nov. 16, more than 750 people had signed a petition on the website, generating emails that flooded the inboxes of council members, transit officials and the editors of local newspapers. The petition states the rail trail will ruin community character by fencing off beach access, and that the path “is a threat to the natural beauty and character of Encinitas.” When reached over the phone this week, Alkhas said the number of people who signed it is proof that more public input was needed before deciding on the rail trail’s route. “It was extremely irresponsible that more people weren’t notified in a systematic,

In May, the council voted 3-2 for the San Elijo Avenue alignment, rather than an alternative of putting the rail trail west of the tracks on Coast Highway 101. Deputy Mayor Catherine Blakespear this week said the San Elijo Avenue route will better serve local neighborhoods and get people out of their cars.

A subcommittee tasked with updating Encinitas agriculture rules is no longer in favor of relaxing residential livestock buffers, which would have made it easier to raise chickens or goats without special permits. The subcommittee at its Nov. 12 meeting voiced support for maintaining current city livestock setbacks — the distance chicken coops and goat pens must be kept from neighboring homes. Subcommittee members Councilman Tony Kranz and Deputy Mayor Catherine Blakespear said that after hearing more from the public, regulations for chicken and goats don’t seem to be broken. The subcommittee also said they don’t want to distract from other goals in the proposed agriculture ordinance, namely reducing the permitting burden for upstart farms. “Currently, people who want to have chickens and goats do,” Blakespear said after the meeting. “And there’s no reason to stir up the pot by changing things that don’t really need to be changed.”

“We don’t have a safe and comfortable way to bike and walk between downtown Cardiff and downtown Encinitas,” Blakespear said. “It’s not equivalent infrastructure to put the rail trail on the 101, because people don’t live on that side of the tracks.” She added that the Highway 101 alternative had another major drawback: the loss of one car lane in sections to accommodate the path. Regional plans state that the coastal rail trail, designed to boost biking and walking with a multi-use path, will eventually run from Oceanside to downtown San Diego. Most of the Cardiff section of the rail trail would go on the dirt stretch on the west side of San Elijo Avenue. The petition argues the rail trail would result in concrete over this scenic landscape. Blakespear said that’s not in the plans — the goal is to make the biking and walking path as natural as possible. She has said as much in emails. The three councilmembers in favor of the San Elijo Avenue route — Blakespear, Lisa Shaffer and Tony Kranz — have responded to petition emails with their own counterpoints. SEE RAIL, A26

Encinitas council exploring city funds for public art BY JARED WHITLOCK

During the meeting, Kranz said critics of the draft ordinance have made the case that chickens should be allowed only in rural areas like Ramona. In reality, he added, chickens are already OK in some instances under Encinitas regulations. “One of the things we had realized is that in trying to update our urban agriculture ordinance, it was inviting criticisms that were essentially unnecessary,” Kranz said. Blakespear said the draft ordinance is

Encinitas appears unlikely to follow in the footsteps of neighboring cities that dedicate a fixed percent of city funds toward public art. Instead, the Encinitas City Council on Nov. 18 said city money for public art should be considered on a project-by-project basis. As a trial run, the city will explore the possibility of including city-funded art with the soon-to-be constructed Marine Beach Safety Center at Moonlight Beach. Arts commissioner Tim Lueker said steady city funding for arts would promote city character and make Encinitas more of a cultural destination. “If you have interesting and substantial art projects,

people come to see them,” Lueker said, adding more visitors would boost the local economy. Solana Beach has a development fee to pay for murals, sculptures and installations. Carlsbad diverts 1 percent of capital improvement projects toward arts funding. No such funding mechanism is in place in Encinitas. A city program for public art would likely need $200,000 to $250,000 a year to have a meaningful impact, according to a report from the Encinitas Arts Commission. Funding for public art could potentially come from a new building-permit fee, the city’s capital improvement program or raising the tax on short-term vacation SEE ART, A24

Recycled water project in Village Park takes big step forward BY JARED WHITLOCK A drought-proof source of water will soon flow to much more of Village Park in Encinitas. Local water officials on Nov. 16 celebrated the completion of the first phase of the Village Park Recycled Water Project. It will supply homeowners associations, three local schools and common areas in the community, reducing the need for costly imported water. “Every drop of recycled water saves potable water for the entire county,” said Olivenhain Municipal Water District board member Christy Guerin. The Olivenhain water district teamed on the project with the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority, tasked with transforming raw water into recycled water so it’s suitable for landscaping, agriculture and other uses. Officials from the agencies marked the big step forward with a valve-turning ceremony in front of the storage tank, which once housed potable water but was converted to store up to 1 million gallons of recycled water. The cost of the first phase was $2,031,370. Of that, the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority provided $1,200,614 and the Olivenhain water district contributed $180,756. The remaining $650,000

It’s estimated that the project, expected to be finished by summer 2016, will provide more than 114 million gallons of recycled water to Village Park per year. By comparison, the Olivenhain water

district delivers more than 700 gallons of recycled water annually throughout its territory, which includes the eastern half of Encinitas, parts of Carlsbad, Elfin Forest and 4S Ranch. Recycled water will first go to Diegueno Middle School, Flora

Water officials celebrate a project that will greatly increase recycled water in the Village Park area of Encinitas. Vista Elementary and Oak Crest Middle School, and then 30 of about 50 HOAs in Village Park will follow, according to George Briest, the Olivenhain district’s engineering manager. This project is a good example of the North County Regional Recycled Water Project, an effort to beef up recycled water infrastructure throughout the

region, said Olivenhain district General Manager Kimberley Thorner. One goal of the partnership is to link up agencies that have a demand for recycled water with North County facilities that can supply it. “It’s amazing what you can do when agencies work together,” Thorner said.

Encinitas author’s book explores past and future of coast BY JARED WHITLOCK To the human eye, Southern California’s coast might seem pretty static. But looking back over millions of years, periodic earthquakes, tsunamis and constant erosion have drastically altered the landscape. MiraCosta oceanography professor Keith Meldahl drives that point home in his new book, “Surf, Sand and Stone: How Waves, Earthquakes and Other Forces Shape the Southern California Coast.” The book takes readers from San Diego to Santa Barbara, looking at how the coast came to be. “The past tells us a number of things,” said Meldahl, an Encinitas resident. “You realize this area is extremely active geologically. The coastline has retreated hundreds of feet. That might not be apparent when you’re walking along the beach.” Meldahl said understanding the past can help residents and government officials prepare for rising sea levels and an increase in coastal erosion. Given the large scale of sand loss across Southern California, a solution may require a mixture of beach replenishment projects and “managed retreat” — moving property back from the bluff, he added. For this area, he favors sand replenishment, calling it the “least-bad scenario.” “I don’t like the idea of spending millions of dollars on sand replenishment. However, it’s probably unrealistic here to move all property back from the bluff.” That’s not to say the book is solely geared toward decision-makers or oceanographers. Rather, Meldahl wrote it to help the average person understand coastal forces and issues.

Former NFL player makes handoff from career to camera BY JARED WHITLOCK Deep down, Ty Schmitt knew he wanted to be a photographer. It just took hypnosis for him to realize it. The Seattle Seahawks drafted Schmitt as a long snapper in 2008, but a severe back injury during his first NFL preseason ended his career. He then fell into a deep depression. Desperate to find a path in life, he turned to a hypnotherapist in Arizona. The session included hours of escalating relaxation techniques. At the end, the hypnotherapist asked him what he would do if money were no object. It was then he discovered an unrealized passion for landscape photography. The thing was, Schmitt had neither training nor experience. “I got a chance to look deep down inside, and for some reason, landscape photography jumped out,” he said. “And so I said, ‘I

intrigues you.” In only a few years, despite being self-taught, he built a career as a photographer. He chalks up this quick ascent to “an obsession for photography that’s with me day and night.” Many of his pictures capture how light plays on landscapes. “I think it’s the coolest thing to experience nature like that.” Bliss 101 in Encinitas is hosting “Chasing Light,” Schmitt’s first gallery showing, from 6-9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21. A San Diego State University graduate, Schmitt lives in La Jolla. Schmitt found his calling, yet does he miss playing football? “To be honest, I’m so much happier doing what I’m doing now, because it’s actually something that comes from within. Rather, the NFL was something I pursued because others wanted me to pursue it.” Visit www.tyschmitt.com to view his work.

Pacific Ridge freshmen donate bikes to nonprofit preschool program A group of Pacific Ridge freshmen recently donated five balance bicycles to the David and Jillian Gilmour Early Education Campus in Vista. The “pre-bikes” are built without pedals or training wheels. Young riders push along using their feet while developing crucial coordination skills that make for an easy transition to two wheels. As part of a leadership unit in Pacific Ridge’s ninth-grade Service Learning Program, students worked in small groups to design, assemble, and hand-deliver each bike. They also spent time working with the children one-on-one, teaching the proper technique for developing balance and having fun. The David and Jillian Gilmour Early Education Campus is operated by Early Education Enrichment Systems (EES), a nonprofit child development agency with locations in North County, San Diego, and the South Bay.

10 Questions with Annika Walden of Cardiff 101 Main Street 10 Questions is an Encinitas Advocate feature spotlighting interesting people in the community. Annika Walden became executive director of Cardiff 101 Main Street in August 2015 after assisting with program development, graphic design, and social media over the past few years as assistant director. A native of Encinitas, she graduated from the University of Lund in Sweden with a bachelor’s degree in industrial and organizational psychology. Her experience includes Main Street Associations, public relations firms and marketing agencies in San Diego, where she collaborated in creative and engagement efforts such as Encinitas Street Fair, Farmers Markets, and Encinitas Bike to Work Day. Walden seeks to grow and expand Cardiff 101 while sustaining social wellness, economic development and environmental programs that leave an impact in North San Diego County. What brought you to Encinitas? I was born and raised in Encinitas. My first house was on Normandy Hill Lane behind Weidner’s Gardens. They used to have chickens and a rooster on their property. I have fond memories chasing those poor hens around … I hope they have forgiven me by now. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in Encinitas? Nothing … Encinitas is perfect. In all seriousness, I would like to see safer bike lanes, more walkable streets, and better usage of open space. The few things I truly miss about my stint in Europe was the accessibility to public transportation, outdoor dining, and the cheese. Who or what inspires you? Oh dear … I feel like this is a make-or-break question. I try not to idolize people too much, but “what” inspires me does come from the human soul and its laughter. There is nothing really better then having a deep-bellied laugh with good people, good wine, and delicious food. Pretty much any Julia Roberts film gets me going. She is just magical, and that laugh! If you hosted a dinner party for eight, who (living or deceased) would you invite? Bill Murray, Jose Mujica, Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert. The deceased would include: Otis Redding, Pablo Neruda, Richard Harris and Eleanor Lambert. What are your favorite movies? “The Life Aquatic” and “Darjeeling Limited,” directed by Wes Anderson. What’s the most challenging aspect of what you do, and what’s the most rewarding? The most challenging aspect of my job has been learning that is it impossible to please everyone. When you serve a large community, it can be hard to adhere to the needs of every individual, but that is what makes the job interesting. I have definitely learned to be diplomatic and patient.

COURTESY PHOTO

Annika Walden, executive director of Cardiff 101 Main Street: ‘I’ve definitely learned to be diplomatic,’ she says. The most rewarding aspect of the job is the sense of community I experience every day. During my last event (The Cardiff Surf Classic), it was amazing to see all the Cardiff families down at the beach watching their children surf and mingle with one another. It really was a beautiful weekend. What do you do for fun? I enjoy surfing, reading, lots of yoga and drinking fine wines. What is it that you most dislike? That is an easy question: Cruelty to others. What do you hope to accomplish next? I would like to come up with a creative way to highlight our wonderful parks in Cardiff. I am so proud the city of Encinitas chose Glen Park to be the first organically managed park! What is your motto or philosophy of life? Soft on nature, soft on you.

Busy local artist donates artwork to help others BY KRISTINA HOUCK In an effort to address addiction and homelessness in San Diego County, local artist Dennis Ellman is donating his artwork for charity. With 100 percent of proceeds benefiting McAlister Institute and San Diego Rescue Mission, the community is invited to purchase his pieces during an art show and sale Dec. 3 at NTC at Liberty Station. “I’m truly hopeful this one-evening event generates interest in supporting McAlister Institute and San Diego Rescue Mission,” and raises awareness of homelessness and addiction, Ellman said. “These are conversations that need to happen if we hope to impact the number of addicted and homeless in our community.” The event will take place from 6-8 p.m. Dec. 3 at NTC at Liberty Station, Barracks 17, 2640 Historic Decatur Road, San Diego.

Woman discovers relative was ‘Butcher of Plaszow’ BY DIANA SAENGER Many of us think we know who we are, but every once in a while a surprise reveals we don’t know everything about our past. That’s what happened to Jennifer Teege when she discovered her grandfather was Amon Goeth, the real-life Nazi “Butcher of the Płaszów” concentration camp, portrayed in “Schindler’s List.” Teege spoke about her extraordinary experience Nov. 15 as a guest of the 21st annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair. Teege was born in Germany to a German mother and Nigerian father. Her mother left her abusive father and placed the 4-week-old Jennifer in an orphanage. Her mother and grandmother made only occasional visits to see her. “When I was 3, I went to live with a foster family who adopted me when I was 7 years old,” Teege said. “I wasn’t sad. I felt lucky and happy that I got a foster family. It was better than being in the orphanage, and it was a loving family with two adopted brothers.” Growing up in a happy home, Teege was able to make her own pathway. She lived in Israel for four years and became fluent in Hebrew. She earned a degree from Tel Aviv University in Middle Eastern and African studies. Later, she took a job in advertising. At age 38, and married with two children, Teege made a trip to the library and picked up a book at random. After scanning through it, she was hit by a thunderbolt — the realization that her grandfather was Amon Goeth, the infamous Nazi commandant of Płaszów concentration camp, and that her kind grandmother lived with him at the camp. “To discover this important piece of my identity was shocking by itself, but then learning the details I only understood after reading the book, made it even worse. I had no knowledge about this story from my family.” She said it took some time before she broke the news to her husband and sons. “I was trying to cope with it myself, which took months and years,” she said. “I was getting help from a therapist, and it wasn’t something I shared with my kids, as they were only in preschool. But later in life I thought it was important to tell them, because a family secret can become toxic due to guilt or shame. I believe it was better to lift these secrets so they could process it.” After time, Teege co-partnered with journalist Nikola Sellmair to write her memoir, “My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me; A

Black Woman Discovers Her Family’s Nazi Past.” “It wasn’t something I decided immediately; it was a process,” she said. “It’s an individual story, but with so many universal aspects that I thought it was worthwhile to share. I understood when I was in Israel that the story was bigger than myself. I hope people can understand why it’s important to see the difference between my biological grandfather and my character inside.” For now, Teege intends on continuing her speaking tours, many of which attract concentration camp survivors. “This summer I was in New York, and a woman over age 90 was there, a survivor,” Teege said. “We had a conversation, and she gave me a book she wrote about her life after the war. She came to Sweden, and later to the States, and despite all the past, has been able to have a full life. She’s learning ballroom dancing at 90. She hugged me and told me that my book gives her some closure. “I met another survivor when I spoke in Israel. His daughter told me he was the son of the shoemaker who made my grandfather’s shoes. He shared all kinds of details with me about his experiences, and his family said he’d never done that before, and that I was his best birthday present. … These are only a few examples of how this book touches others and they touch me.”

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - NOVEMBER 20, 2015 - PAGE A9

Local residents spread message of patriotism with Flag for Hope BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe resident Tim Shanahan has become proudly invested in Flag for Hope, a nationwide social movement of people coming together to recognize America’s shared humanity and send a message of peace and hope for the future. “It’s an effort to pledge allegiance and try to unify the United States again,” Shanahan said. “If I can bring attention to the flag like this and all the outstanding citizens across the country, maybe we can do some good.” Flag for Hope began as a pop-up art project started by artist and Army veteran Marcus Antonio. The goal is to collect about 4,000 American hand and finger impressions in red, white and blue paint on a giant canvas to create the American flag. They plan to travel to more than 150 cities in the country in their efforts. Also, the 50 stars on the flag will represent iconic Americans who have contributed to the strength and well-being of the country. Stars so far include Muhammad Ali, Sandra Day O’Connor and John McCain. Flag for Hope has been collecting fingerprints since August and had initially intended to present the flag and an accompanying documentary to the Smithsonian Institution on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. But the movement has become so big that they are now aiming for February 2016. Shanahan grew up in West Allis, Wis., a suburb of Milwaukee, five blocks from the home of 1994 Olympics gold medal speed skater Dan Jansen and his family.

Mille Fleurs owner Bertrand Hug added his fingerprints to the Flag for Hope, with Flag for Hope’s Tim Shanahan of Rancho Santa Fe. The origins for Shanahan’s involvement in Flag for Hope came from Jansen and Mike Eruzione, from the 1980 gold medal-winning Olympic hockey team, who contacted Shanahan to ask if he could connect the project with some of his notable friends. Chris Cavedon of Rhode Island, who has contributed $2 million of his own money to help fund the project, had contacted the pair of Olympians. Shanahan is an Olympian himself, having been an alternate on the Olympic men’s

handball team at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. He was in the Olympic Village when 11 Israeli athletes were taken hostage and killed by a Palestinian terrorist group called Black September. Since the 1970s, Shanahan has been close friends with Muhammad Ali, writing the book, “Running With The Champ,” to be released by Simon & Schuster next year. Shanahan was able to get Ali involved in Flag for Hope, as well as get the prints of other celebrity participants like Bill Gates,

Brian Wilson, Blake Shelton and Kris Kristofferson. Shanahan has known Kristofferson for years and said the Army veteran, singer and actor is deeply patriotic and very proud of his father, who was a U.S. Air Force major general. “He said when he looks at the flag he only thinks of his brothers who fought in the war, saying, ‘All gave some, but some gave all,’” he said of Kristofferson, who is a star on the flag. Shanahan also submitted his childhood friend Bob Wieland to be a star on the flag. Wieland is a Vietnam War veteran whom President Ronald Reagan once called “Mr. Inspiration.” Wieland lost both legs in the war and went on to become the first and only double amputee to complete the Kona Ironman without a wheelchair. Shanahan set everything aside to focus on Flag for Hope and has traveled to cities “nonstop” to keep building on the flag. “It’s a great privilege and honor to do what we’re doing,” he said. The stories of everyday Americans who participate are all truly moving and touching, he said. In New Orleans, the flag got the prints of restaurant owner Allen Jaegar, whose family has lost their business three times to hurricanes, including Hurricane Katrina. They persevered to save and restore the home and business they created. In Maine, the project visited the “Freeport Flag Ladies,” who have waved their American flags every Tuesday since 9/11.

Leucadia Main Street to host Small Business Saturday event Nov. 28

Leucadia 101 Main Street and more than 35 businesses along the North Coast Highway 101 corridor will be hosting Small Business Saturday on Nov. 28. “These business owners are your neighbors, friends and they are definitely some of the hardest-working people you can find,” said Nick Winfrey, president of the Leucadia 101 Main Street Association. Start with a morning Bike N’ Brunch — a tour of North Leucadia by bike, stopping for free coffee, and a special bottomless mimosa brunch at Le Papagayo at the end. The ride starts at 10:30 a.m. at the Leucadia Roadside Park, 866 N. Coast Highway 101. All day, shoppers can enjoy live music, scavenger hunts, prizes, store promotions and gifts in exchange for purchases. With each purchase, participants get a raffle ticket for a chance at $1,000 in prizes. The Leucadia Main Street crew will also be hosting mini scavenger hunts for different $100 gift cards. The goal of Small Business Saturday is to encourage residents to shop where they live. One study from Civic Economics found that for every dollar spent at a small business, 48 cents recirculate into the community, compared with only 14 cents spent at a chain retailer.

Solana Beach Storage boasts a record of quality customer service BY DIANE Y. WELCH

La Jolla Cultural Partners

Transitions are part of life. Whether it’s relocating to embark on a new career, going to a four-year college, paring down from a family home into a condo, or world travel — chances are when you experience the change, you’ll need to store your stuff. For North County coastal residents, that’s where Solana Beach Storage fills the need, a company that proudly considers itself in the people business. “We are assisting people with big changes in their lives,” said Ellen Wayne, director of marketing. “We do things differently here, and we offer services that truly set us apart from other storage facilities.” Solana Beach Storage, locally owned and operated, is conveniently located on Stevens Avenue, where it has been since 1973 and was the first storage company located there. Community oriented, with more than 40 years since its founding, Solana Beach Storage is a member of the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce and shows its local involvement by lending its trucks out for events like Movie Night at Fletcher Cove, Fiesta Del Sol and Chamber events in Solana Beach. “We really enjoy being out in the community and meeting everyone,” said Wayne. The main factor in its longevity is a track record of unsurpassed customer service. It offers a free truck and helper — who assists with loading the truck — with every room

The largest measures 10 feet by 20 feet, with extra space in a loft up to 300 square feet of storage that is ideal for business and personal storage.

Faith motivates local attorney in high-profile legal battles BY JOE TASH Charles LiMandri was a successful civil litigator when, in 2003, he decided to combine his religious values with his legal skills and file a court brief in support of keeping the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance. While he had long been active in community service as a member of his children’s school board and the Rotary Club, among other endeavors, “I wanted to give back in a more direct way,” said LiMandri, 60, a Rancho Santa Fe resident. That direct involvement led to more cases, and ultimately to what may be his most prominent effort — working in both the legal and political arenas to preserve a 43-foot cross atop Mount Soledad in San Diego, where it has stood since 1954. After two decades of legal wrangling and political maneuvers, cross proponents — who argue that the monument is both a war memorial and a landmark — may have won the day this summer, after the purchase of the land beneath the cross by a private nonprofit from the federal government for $1.4 million. Over the past 12 years, LiMandri has taken on a variety of “pro bono” cases, meaning he absorbs

the cost of the legal work. The common thread, according to LiMandri, is defending traditional family values and religious freedoms. A devout Catholic, he is convinced that his cherished religious liberty is in jeopardy, because of court decisions and shifting cultural mores. Roughly half of his practice, which employs four full-time and one part-time attorney, is devoted to such nonprofit work, while the rest is focused on business litigation in such areas as insurance, real estate, personal injury and maritime law. In 2012, after supporting the pro bono work on his own for nearly a decade, LiMandri launched the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund, which can accept donations and grants to support the causes close to the attorney’s heart. “We’re focused on religious liberty, or people’s right to self-determination, to follow the dictates of their conscience,” LiMandri said. That quest has led LiMandri into controversial waters: He has defended four San Diego firefighters who defied orders to participate in a gay pride parade, and the operators of a New Jersey organization that offered referrals to men who sought therapy to

The results have been mixed. In the Mount Soledad cross case, San Diego voters strongly supported retaining the cross, while courts

over the years have ordered it to be removed. In the firefighters’ case, the first trial resulted in a hung jury, while LiMandri won the second trial and a subsequent appeal. This summer, LiMandri suffered a stinging loss when a jury decided against his client, Jews Offering New Alternatives for Healing, or JONAH, which referred clients to “conversion therapy” designed to change their sexual orientation from gay to straight. LiMandri said rulings by the judge doomed his side. For example, six expert witnesses for the defense were disqualified from testifying, and the judge also issued jury instructions disallowing references to homosexuality as a disorder. Also, the defense was harmed by testimony about controversial nudity techniques used by one of the conversion therapists. The case was exhausting and intellectually draining, said LiMandri. “I don’t fight these battles to lose.” After the case ended in late June, LiMandri said, he just wanted to return home to San Diego from New Jersey and resume his private practice. But shortly after he got back, his phone rang with a request to defend David Daleiden,

president of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), from a lawsuit stemming from a series of undercover videos filmed by Daleiden and his associates. According to LiMandri, the videos documented discussions by officials with the nonprofit group Planned Parenthood involving the illegal sale of fetal body parts. However, Planned Parenthood and its supporters contend the videos were heavily edited in order to mislead the public, and nothing illegal or improper occurred. The videos have triggered efforts by some members of Congress to defund Planned Parenthood. A hearing on a motion by LiMandri and his legal team to dismiss the lawsuit will probably be heard in January. Supporters of LiMandri’s pro bono work applaud his dedication to cases such as JONAH and CMP. “Chuck is a brilliant litigator with a national reputation. He also is a guy who charges on his white horse where angels fear to tread. He’s fearless and principled, and smart,” Maggie Gallagher, chairperson of the Freedom of Conscience board of directors, and a Washington, D.C.-based writer, wrote in an email in response to a query from a reporter.

Coastal Roots Farm launches apprenticeship program Coastal Roots Farm announces the launch of its farm apprenticeship program, as well as the hiring of Simcha Schwartz, the Apprenticeship and Associate Program Director. “We’re so proud to bring such a diverse and amazing group of young farmers to this community,” said Daron “Farmer D” Joffe, interim executive director of Coastal Roots Farm and director of agricultural innovation and development at Leichtag Foundation. “These four individuals bring tremendous skill sets that we will develop. They will help us achieve our mission of producing nourishing food that’s good for the earth and for the people who eat it, as well as sharing our harvest with communities in the San Diego region (who) lack access to healthy food.” Coastal Roots Farm is at the Leichtag Foundation property, 441 Saxony Road in Encinitas, and is part of the Encinitas Environmental Education (E3) Cluster. This summer, it was announced that Coastal Roots Farm will manage the Encinitas Union School District’s Farm Lab production farm, which is next to the Leichtag Foundation property. The

will provide each apprentice with onsite housing, a living wage and professional development. While all apprentices will learn the basics of community farming, each will be focused on a specialization and will

help to develop that aspect of the farm. The apprentices will help shape the future of Coastal Roots Farm as it expands its production, outreach and educational programming. Coastal Roots Farm is an independent organization incubated by the Leichtag Foundation to help foster a vibrant, healthy North County and to address gaps in the local food system. The Leichtag Foundation established Coastal Roots Farm in response to North County residents’ interest in sustainability and social justice, and because of the high number of low-income households lacking regular access to fresh, healthy food.

Children shop for clothes at Target Encinitas with the help of the Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito's Operation School Bell program.

New school clothes help set tone for learning Sixty-two volunteers from Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito (ALRSD) worked more than 500 hours to make Operation School Bell a success. Ten shopping events at Target, Encinitas, resulted in 908 children receiving new clothes for school. Volunteers work all year to secure funds for programs that will enhance the lives of children in North County San Diego. Operation School Bell has been a yearly program since 1998. It has proven to better

prepare students to attend school. During the shopping events, each child was helped to choose school clothing at a value of $70, which has a positive impact to help offset the family’s financial struggles. ALRSD is a 100 percent voluntary organization whose members help fight poverty barriers to education, one child at a time. Proof of enhanced self-image of these young learners is demonstrated by the joy they reflect as they model prized shoes and clothing to parents and school staff.

EUSD to receive 2015 Golden Bell The Encinitas Union School District has been chosen by the California School Boards Association (CSBA) to receive the state’s leading educational honor, the 2015 Golden Bell Award. The Civics Learning Program, titled, “E Pluribus Unum – Out of Many, One,” at El Camino Creek Elementary School was awarded in the Juanita Haugen Memorial Award for Civics Education category. The 2015 Golden Bell award will be presented at a special ceremony during the upcoming California School Boards Association’s Annual Education Conference in San Diego. The “E Pluribus Unum” program at El Camino Creek actively engages student learning, citizenship, and advocacy through a tiered discovery process. Throughout this process, the Rule of Law, case law, court systems, and current events that have had an impact on civil rights and

responsibilities are highlighted. In April 2015, Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye presented El Camino Creek Elementary School with the 2015 Civic Learning Award of Excellence. Superintendent Dr. Timothy Baird commended the site leadership in awarding the 2015 Golden Bell for the civics education program at El Camino Creek Elementary School. “El Camino Creek’s commitment to engaging students in civic learning is evidenced by the success of this program,” he said. “EUSD is grateful to CSBA for this recognition.” The Encinitas Union School District has been recognized as an Apple Distinguished Program, a National Green Ribbon School District, and has received both a 2014 Golden Bell and 2015 Magna Award for its Health & Wellness Program.

Biz Spotlight: Chimney Sweeps protects homes BY MARTI GACIOCH Ahhh, the wonderful warmth … the crackling, popping sound of hot flames on resin … the sweet aroma of fragrant wood burning … colder temps are here and few things create a comfort zone more than a cozy night by the fireplace. But the real danger of a sudden chimney fire could quickly disrupt this idyllic scenario. Chimney fires are often caused by negligence, lack of structural maintenance and water damage. They start when residue deposits (creosote) begin burning on chimney parts like tiles, stovepipes, flues, etc. Fortunately, Chimney Sweeps can help prevent a costly chimney disaster. British-born master sweep Steven Carter, founded Chimney Sweeps in 1985. His family-owned and operated business serves all of San Diego County by providing annual chimney safety checks, chimney maintenance, and the repairs necessary to keep chimneys safe.

“Chimney fires are most common in brick chimneys and pre-fabricated chimneys,” explained Julian Carter, manager and son of the founder. “The average loss due to chimney/fireplace-related fires in the United States exceeds $100 million each year.” Unlike other home elements, homeowners rarely consider a chimney important too maintain, Carter said. therefore chimneys are often neglected or barely maintained. Deteriorated by seeping moisture, chimney obstructions (such as bird nests), smoke-damaged passages and loose masonry materials, it’s just a matter of time before a chimney fire occurs. Fortunately, annual safety checks and maintenance helps prevent far costlier repairs down the line. Water is another major threat to chimney safety, but waterproofing brick and mortar chimneys with appropriate sealant can prevent those materials from

“I hate when we go out to a customer’s house and they don’t realize their chimney’s been leaking a long time and is falling apart. Most people think it’s fine just sitting up

San Diego Vein Institute 760.994.9263

The Web of Reality: Spider Veins in Young Women Do you work out frequently? Do you have sudden pain or tightness or swelling in your legs? Do you look at the blue patches of veins on your legs and think, “But aren’t I too young for spider veins?” Think again. The truth is that women in their 30s can get spider or varicose veins. Women in their 20s can get them. And even teens and—occasionally—children can get them.

Think of spider veins—known by phlebologists as telangiectasias—as the niece of varicose veins. Varicose veins are the more dilated and rope-like veins under the skin, which are generally more painful, while spider veins result from the enlargement of the tiny subcutaneous veins, which are usually painless. Veins that deliver blood to the leg can get blocked for a variety of reasons—one-way valves can stop working, causing the other more visible veins to dilate, taking on extra blood. Women who work out frequently or stand for long periods of time are very likely to get some spider veins. Really, anything that increases stress in your vascular system puts extra pressure in your veins, causing them to bulge. Of course, if you experience a very sudden change to your veins, you do want to rule out deep vein thrombosis, especially if you experience leg pain or swelling. However, this tends to be less likely in active people.

They can be uncomfortable and unsightly, but spider veins pose no threats to your health (even if they occur on places such as the face), and you certainly should not stop your normal ﬁtness routine if a few spider veins appear. But you can never go wrong with getting a suspicious vein checked out to be completely safe. There are a few rare genetic conditions that may cause patches of veins to form on your torso and arms, and you will deﬁnitely want to get those checked to rule out a more serious condition. For active young women, the occurrence of spider veins is not something that can be completely prevented. Diet and sun exposure can play a role, and pregnancy greatly increases the likelihood of getting them. But the unfortunate truth is that some women are just genetically predisposed to get them. While it isn’t urgent to remove spider veins through laser therapy, many women, especially

younger ones, opt for this easy and painless treatment, especially since spider veins can worsen over time. The good news is that laser treatment is relatively painless and quite easy, requiring minimal recovery. You can have them removed in 5-30 minutes—a quick lunch break—and be back to work directly after. For many people, this is far more convenient that wearing support stockings regularly. The other nice factor to laser therapy is that there isn’t a “right age” to wait to get treatment, which is even safe for children, though they may be more sensitive to the pain. If you’re tired of your spider or varicose veins and are ready for treatment or just want some more information on laser treatment or sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit our website at www. sdveininstitute.com.

Pacific Ridge Girls Varsity Tennis team wins CIF Championship The Pacific Ridge Girls Varsity Tennis Team won its first California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Championship on Oct. 30. The fourth-seeded Firebirds captured the Division II title with a 15-3 win over No. 3 Patrick Henry at the Barnes Tennis Center in Point Loma. Throughout the week, Pacific Ridge advanced through the playoffs with victories against Monte Vista (#13), Eastlake (#5) and San Marcos (#8).

The championship win is an exclamation point on a perfect division record, as well as a fitting redemption. During last year’s Division III finals, the Firebirds fell to Eastlake in a heartbreaking double tiebreaker. “This team was as cohesive, supportive, and determined as any team I have seen, and the Division II CIF Championship was a well-earned, fitting reward,” said Pacific Ridge Athletic Director Hans Richter.

San Dieguito Art Guild Holiday Bazaar

Mary Sue Brubaker, event co-organizer and artist Karen Fidel (www.karenthepotterylady.webs.com)

San Dieguito Art Guild presented its fifth annual Holiday Bazaar Nov. 14 at the Encinitas Community Center. The guild, which is an all-volunteer nonprofit that operates the Off Track Gallery located in the Lumberyard Shopping Center in Encinitas, offers art workshops, classes and demonstrations by professional artists. “This event gives local artists a venue to offer their handmade items to the public,” said gourd artist Grace Swanson, one of the event organizers. “And gives the shoppers a chance to purchase one-of-a-kind artworks, which cannot be found in the malls. There are no imported items at this Bazaar. In addition, the buyer is purchasing work directly from the artist and can meet them face to face.” The event included a silent auction of artworks donated by the participating artists, hot apple cider, treats, a raffle and art for sale by artists: paintings, jewelry, photography, gourds, glass, ceramics, mosaics, fiber art, cards, prints and more.

Royal Academy of Performing Arts presents Winter Wonderland Nov. 21 Royal Academy of Performing Arts will once again be producing its enchanting and entertaining “Winter Wonderland 2015” on Saturday Nov. 21 at The Mandeville Auditorium, UCSD, La Jolla. Show times are 2 p.m. and 6:30 pm. The audiences love having the “best of both worlds” as they are taken on a magical journey through The Nutcracker Ballet followed by a Dance Company Showcase. The Nutcracker will include Snow Scene and excerpts from Act 1 and the entire Act 2. Parents love the fact that the whole show is

FROM ATTORNEY, A13 Even those who disagree with LiMandri’s conservative positions praised his passion. “Chuck has been an effective opponent and a worthy opponent and a good litigator. I just disagree with him on the cases he chooses to prosecute or defend,” said James McElroy, a San Diego attorney who led the legal battle to remove the Mount Soledad cross from land that was once owned by the city. “Ultimately he’s a nice guy, a family guy; we just disagree very strongly on the issues of the day.” For example, although LiMandri said thousands of people have changed their sexual orientation with the assistance of conversion therapy, groups such as the American Psychological Association and the World Health Organization have

performed by our very own students age 3-17. After the intermission, the Dance Company Showcase consists of all genres of dance including ballet, jazz, lyrical, tap, hip hop, contemporary and musical theater. The entire production is less than two hours. Tickets: $18:50. Discounts for large groups and charities. We also raise funds for The Monarch School for Homeless Children and Radys Children’s Hospital. Call RAPA at 858-259-7272 or visit www.rapasd.com or www.royaldanceacademy.com

come out against the practice, a viewpoint shared by McElroy. “Gay people are not sick, they’re not ill, they don’t need to be cured,” said McElroy, who sits on the board of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which brought the civil lawsuit against JONAH, alleging that conversion therapy amounts to consumer fraud. Former San Diego city attorney Mike Aguirre, who battled LiMandri in court on the firefighter case, and also once appointed him to represent the city in the Mount Soledad cross case, said, “We’ve had our differences, but I’ve always respected him … He lives his values. And these days, so few people do that.” LiMandri said the work consumes a lot of his time and energy, and has even hurt his legal practice. “I’ve lost clients over the work I do; they’re afraid of being

associated with me.” He would like to spend more time with his family. He and his wife, Barbara, who was working as a paralegal when they met, have five children. He’d also like to exercise more, and read books for pleasure, such as the historical novels he enjoys. But he feels compelled to follow the example of one of his personal heroes, Sir Thomas More, an English lawyer who defied King Henry VIII based on his religious convictions, and was beheaded for his trouble. More was elevated to sainthood in 1935 by Pope Pius XI. “We’re trying to preserve a Judeo-Christian culture which permeates society,” LiMandri said. “There’s no financial incentive. But there’s a big incentive to better society for future generations.”

Six tips to lessen the stress for heart-healthy holidays BY POULINA UDDIN, M.D. The holiday season is almost here, bringing with it the usual traditions of family gatherings, shopping, cooking, baking and parties. Sometimes, however, these normally festive activities can lead to not-so-festive feelings of stress and anxiety. Many people feel pressured to fit all of the holiday extras into an already-packed schedule, or spend an unrealistic amount of money on gifts. The holidays also can trigger an increase in depression, particularly for people who don’t have family or friends nearby, or who have recently lost loved ones. Any of these negative emotions can be harmful to your health. Add in the tendency to eat or drink too much, and the holidays can take a toll — especially on your heart. The heart-healthy tips below can help you make the most of the holidays and maintain your well-being. 1. Set realistic expectations. The holidays are only perfect in advertisements. In real life, we need to decide what is most important and adjust our expectations and priorities accordingly. What do you absolutely need to get done? What would you really like to do, as opposed to what you feel you “should” do? Learn to say no to an invitation if you would rather spend a quiet

night at home. Use a caterer or buy cookies if you don’t have time to do it yourself. 2. Make a plan. Use a calendar to plan your activities so you can easily see where you need to be and when, and minimize the stress of being rushed or overbooked. Remember to schedule in travel time, as well as extra time in case of traffic or unforeseen delays. Schedule time for exercise (more on this below). Finally, include downtime for yourself. Block off an hour or two with no commitments, so you can do whatever you’d like, or nothing at all. 3. Take advantage of technology. Avoid the stress of crowds and traffic by going digital. Skip the mall and shop online. Send personalized electronic greeting cards. Visit with long-distance friends and family via social media such as Skype or FaceTime. 4. Celebrate in moderation. Between special events, dinner parties and treats at work, the holidays can serve up a tempting array of foods that are high in fat, sugar and salt — none of which are good for your heart. Obesity, too, is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease. It’s fine to treat yourself, as long as you don’t overdo it. Have a healthy snack before a dinner party to take the edge off your hunger, and start with small servings (you can always go back for more). If you drink

alcohol, limit yourself to one or two drinks. 5. Stay active. When your schedule is packed, exercising often is one of the first things to go. Don’t skip your workouts and tell yourself that you will make a New Year's resolution to lose weight. Staying active during the holidays is more important than making a plan to become active afterward. Getting just 30 minutes of exercise a day, such as a walk, jog or bicycle ride, has important cardiovascular benefits and can help reduce your stress level as well. Break it up into 10-minute chunks if that makes it easier. If possible, take advantage of the calming benefits of nature and exercise outdoors. 6. Take a time-out. If you do find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious or irritable, give yourself a break. If you can, get away from whatever is causing your stress, even for just a few minutes. Have a cup of tea at the mall or step outside at a crowded party. When you can’t physically remove yourself, do so mentally by taking a few minutes to focus on your breathing. Simply taking five deep, slow breaths can interrupt your body’s stress response, lower blood pressure and slow your heart rate. You’ll feel calmer, and your heart will thank you.

FROM ART, A1 rentals by 1 percent. Mayor Kristin Gaspar said the proposed funding sources would add to the already steep cost of living in Encinitas. “When people are just trying to get up and going as a new artist, it would be terrible to price them out of our community,” Gaspar said. Michael McSweeney with the Building Industry Association said a building-permit fee for public art would tack onto housing prices. Councilwoman Lisa Shaffer said the city is lucky to have an already thriving public arts scene. She advocated for a policy in which publicly funded art is included with city projects. But to receive city funding, artwork would have to compete against other budget priorities. Councilman Tony Kranz suggested that city department heads identify city projects that are ripe for publicly funded art, and recommendations would be forwarded to the arts commission for review. Then the council would vote on them. The council also directed staff to bring back more information, including a potential process for deciding which public art proposals receive funding.

Union Kitchen puts the South in Southern California

BY KELLEY CARLSON There’s an abundance of south-of-the-border fare in Encinitas, but it’s a bit more of a challenge to find Southern food. However, Union Kitchen & Tap is one of the local restaurants that help fill that niche, bringing comfort cuisine to this coastal city since 2011. Much of the meat is smoked in-house – including beef belly, pork belly and chicken — and it’s enhanced with dressings and sauces that are made from scratch. The menu changes twice a year, driven by the vegetables and herbs that are grown in the on-site garden. Summer selections highlight produce such as radishes, peas and tomatoes, while winter has more of an emphasis on root vegetables. Guests may be surprised to see this reflected in some of the craft cocktails, such as the Genevieve with snap pea juice, Hendrick’s Gin and lemon; and the Smoked Peach Old-Fashioned. “We try to push the envelope a little bit,” Assistant General Manager Kim Venezia said. But a number of libations are offered year-round, including the Strawberry Fields and the Spicy Pear. There are also some signature foods that Union Kitchen & Tap keeps on the menu at all times. For starters, there’s the BBQ Beef Belly Tacos with sweet onion slaw, cradled in honey cornbread pancakes; the Stone Crab Claws in a spicy Worcestershire broth, with grilled bread; and Poutine. On the lighter side, patrons can select from salads such as the Roasted Beet with chipotle maple vinaigrette. The restaurant’s most popular entrees are the Union Gumbo with andouille sausage, pulled smoked chicken, green onions and

jasmine rice; and the Shrimp & Grits. But there’s plenty more to choose from, including Wild Boar Ragu, Wagyu Steak Frites and Mary’s Brick Roasted Chicken. Flatbreads are also in demand, with varieties such as Prosciutto and Fig. A lunchtime favorite is the Fish & Chips, featuring true cod fried in stout beer batter. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekends and holidays, Union Kitchen & Tap presents a brunch menu, with an option of bottomless mimosas (served within a two-hour time frame). One of the highlights is the Chicken and Cornbread Waffles. Several boneless, buttermilk fried chicken strips rest atop a sweet waffle that can be garnished with butter and burnt honey maple syrup. To spice it up, add a few dashes of the house hot sauce. Other options range from Biscuits and Gravy and Confit Duck Hash & Eggs, to the Green Omelet. Union Tap features a special nearly every day. “Social hour” lasts from 3 to 10 p.m. Monday and 3 to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, with deals on beers (ranging from Bud Light to Pizza Port’s Swami’s IPA), house wines, craft cocktails and assorted foods. Industry workers can get half off their bar tab on Tuesday evenings, while everyone can enjoy 50 percent off bottles of wine on Wednesdays and Sundays. From 6 p.m. to close Thursdays, mules are $5. In addition, there’s a late social hour from 10 p.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday. Union Kitchen & Tap is at 1108 S. Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas. It’s open from 9 a.m. to midnight Sunday; 11 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday, and 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday. Call 760-230-2337 or go to localunion101.com.

pet of the week ChoColate, a 10-yearold American Staffordshire Terrier mix, is looking for a calm home to give her all the love she’s been missing. She was rescued by our Humane Law Enforcement team after spending her entire life outside on a heavy chain. She was in rough shape when she first entered our care, now that she has had a chance to recover, we’ve seen this shy, fearful girl blossom into a very affectionate companion. She takes her time getting to know new people, but once she feels comfortable, she loves to snuggle close and give kisses. Chocolate deserves a special home with a family who can be extra patient with her as she adjusts to her new surroundings and spoils her with all the love imaginable! Chocolate is available for adoption at the San Diego humane Society’s San Diego Campus at 5500 Gaines Street. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (619) 299-7012.

FROM RAIL, A1 Blakespear also said the Cardiff alignment wasn’t a “hasty decision,” since there were multiple public meetings on the topic. Petition emails have come from as far away as Alaska, though most have been from local residents. Alkhas, who lives on San Elijo Avenue, said ideally he would have started the campaign before the council’s vote. But, he added, business and personal matters prevented him from doing so sooner. Since the council majority isn’t budging on its position, Alkhas said the consequences could be felt during the 2016 election. At the very least, the rail trail should go back to the now-engaged public, he added. Alkhas said residents who have weighed in so far have been clear that they don’t want the rail trail on San Elijo Avenue, largely because it would trigger a fence east of the railway and block coastal access. Transit officials last spring stated that the rail trail would indeed come with a fence. But regardless of the rail trail, a project to double-track a 1.5-mile stretch of railway between downtown Encinitas and Cardiff would require a fence, said Dahvia Lynch, chief planning officer with North County Transit District (NCTD), this week. SANDAG, the agency behind the double tracking, estimates it will begin sometime next year. It’s also in charge of the Cardiff rail trail and anticipates construction on the path will start in 2017. NCTD, which owns the railway, mandates that SANDAG improvements along the tracks have to include fencing, Lynch said. She added it’s also a matter of safety. Citing the fencing, the

three councilmembers in favor of the rail trail also previously voted to seek state approval for an at-grade rail crossing (as opposed to over or under the tracks) at Montgomery Avenue in Cardiff. Plus, they’re pursuing a “quiet zone” at the intersection, which entails installing safety improvements at the crossing to reduce train horn blasts. Councilman Mark Muir said the quiet zone isn’t guaranteed, so the at-grade crossing could actually mean more horn noise in the area. “Now you’re maybe creating a secondary issue,” Muir said. He joined Mayor Kristin Gaspar in opposing the San Elijo Avenue alternative. He said the Cardiff community has long voiced concerns over the rail trail, and that most residents opposed the San Elijo Avenue option during a community meeting last spring. “This opposition was predictable,” Muir said of the petition. He added it’s unfortunate that taxpayer dollars are being spent on a project that’s unpopular locally. Councilwoman Lisa Shaffer said it’s dangerous biking and walking on San Elijo Avenue, forcing people to commute by car. The rail trail will change this, she added. Shaffer also said the campaign’s website has spread misinformation, including that rail trail funding is coming from city coffers. The $5.1 million project is being paid for by a grant and Transnet, the county half-cent sales tax for infrastructure. “I can understand why, if you tell people the city is about to block their access to the surf and make their street dangerous, they would click to sign,” Shaffer said of the petition. She added that’s “not an accurate picture.”

FROM FLAG, A9 Arizona, a 95-year-old World War II veteran who was in the hospital recovering from a leg amputation put his fingerprints on the flag. The team brought the flag to him in the hospital. In Minnesota, Anne Sweeney, whose brother was on the plane that struck the South Tower of the World Trade Center on 9/11, shared her story and prints. In Massachusetts, Rick and Dick Hoyt of Team Hoyt joined the flag. Dick Hoyt has run the Boston Marathon 32 times with his son Rick, who has been in a

focused on encouraging community gardens and small commercial farms by cutting red tape and reducing costs. Such operations require a $1,600 minor-use permit to get going, while the subcommittee is advocating for a simplified $250 agriculture permit. “The goal is to have a clear path,” Blakespear said, pointing out that the recently launched Encinitas Community Garden was delayed over and over by an uncertain permitting process. Proponents of the agriculture ordinance have said it would encourage a new crop of farmers and keep the city’s agricultural heritage alive. Opponents argued the subcommittee’s prior livestock rules would have created noise and sanitation issues. The ordinance previously called for allowing up to 15 chickens in residential areas without permits if the coop was at least 15 feet from surrounding properties. Current regulations require a 35-foot setback for raising up to 10 chickens, a distance that means only those who have large backyards can keep chickens without getting city approval. The rules are similar for goats, while the draft ordinance would have made it OK to have two goats without permitting. Those with smaller yards can still keep chickens and goats if they obtain an agriculture permit. The city would look at potential impacts to neighbors in deciding whether to grant

The “subcommittee at

its Nov. 12 meeting voiced support for maintaining current city livestock setbacks — the distance chicken coops and goat pens must be kept from neighboring homes.

one. Besides questions about setbacks, the seven members of the public at the meeting didn’t weigh in on the subcommittee’s reversal on livestock buffers. The subcommittee’s draft ordinance in August went to the Encinitas Planning Commission, which voted to continue the hearing so that city staff could answer questions over how the ordinance will be enforced and whether cities with similar ordinances have experienced problems. Blakespear and Kranz said while the subcommittee is now pushing for the current livestock setbacks, the Planning Commission could still advocate for relaxing them. The ordinance will eventually go to the full council for consideration. A recent citywide “robocall” criticized the idea of loosening livestock setbacks. When asked after the meeting whether this played a role in the subcommittee’s change of heart, Kranz said the robocall generated support

for the ordinance. “I got more feedback from people who thought it was an outrageous phone call than I heard from people who thought we were doing the wrong thing,” he said. Another part of the draft ordinance would let homeowners sell fruits, vegetables and “value added” products like jam from residential farm stands for up to 12 daylight hours a week without permits. That’s so long as the products were produced onsite and the stand is no more than 120 square feet. The subcommittee also aims to take new San Diego County beekeeping rules and extend them to more city households. Under an ordinance recently passed by the County Board of Supervisors, homes can have two hives within 25 feet of roads and property lines and 35 feet of neighboring homes without a permit. City code allows beekeeping only in areas that are zoned for very low-density housing, but the subcommittee wants these county rules to apply to all single-family residential zones. When approving the new regulations, the county board cited the importance of pollinators for agriculture. Supervisors also said they want more European bees to combat Africanized bees, which are known for swarming in large numbers. “We’ve traditionally followed county code with agriculture, so it’s understandable to follow their lead,” Kranz said after the meeting.

San Diego sparkling below. Shanahan said it was a great moment, hearing Hug explain what the flag means to him. “I am a French-American, and I would have never achieved what I have achieved in America in France,” Hug said. “When I look at the American flag, I think of freedom and opportunity. “I’m just a simple owner of two outstanding restaurants in San Diego, so proud to be an American ... I will never stop thanking America for this opportunity to be a successful American.”

In San Diego, Shanahan thought of Bertrand Hug, the owner of Rancho Santa Fe’s Mille Fleurs restaurant and downtown’s Bertrand at Mister A’s, as an ideal addition to the flag and someone who would be a fine representation of the city. “Bertrand and his wife, Denise, are two of the most patriotic people in the country,” Shanahan said. “I knew this would be perfect for him.” Hug placed his fingerprints on the Flag for Hope atop Mister A’s, with
