Youth leagues relieved to keep playing at YMCA, but challenges still ahead

BY JARED WHITLOCK Representatives from Encinitas Express Soccer and Encinitas Little League this week expressed relief over a compromise that will keep them playing at the YMCA Ecke Sports Park.

Still, each league will have field challenges ahead.

Last week, the Magdalena Ecke YMCA announced that its board approved a draft expansion plan that will leave three of the four park fields for league play. That was good news for the leagues’ officials, who feared that they could lose two or more of the fields.

“It will allow us to achieve two things that we wanted: playing under lights and keeping the league largely together, at where we’ve historically been,” said Robert Wade, league president.

The YMCA stated last fall it would need “one or more” of the fields for expansion.

Around the same time, it came to light that the Encinitas City Council previously approved a new clause that would let the YMCA cancel the field lease with 30 days’ notice. League officials then became concerned they could be displaced with little warning.

The YMCA owns the fields, while the city leases and maintains them.

Little League, however, will have to make sacrifices under the expansion plans. Its junior program, 13- and 14-year-olds, plays on Field No. 1, which is slated to become three indoor soccer arenas and a parking lot with up to 180 spaces.

With few other options, the junior program is likely to move to the new Encinitas Community Park. Wade emphasized that in order to play there, new maintenance equipment, batting cages, fencing and reconfigured dugouts are necessary.

Wade anticipates the league — a nonprofit with a limit-

“The big issue for us is equipment,” he said. “We have one set of equipment that we’re able to use, which will change. And operations behind the scenes won’t be so simple.”

Wade said while the junior program could play at the

park, the entire league wouldn’t be able to move there without downsizing, largely because of the lack See YMCA, page 20

BY JARED WHITLOCK Call it east versus west.

Encinitas residents were divided over whether the coastal rail trail in Cardiff should run along San Elijo Avenue or Coast Highway 101 during an April 21 meeting at Cardiff Elementary School.

Originally, the rail trail — a separated path for bikers and walkers — was planned east of the train tracks along San Elijo Avenue. But the regional planning agency SANDAG began looking to Coast Highway 101, since it would be difficult to put the rail trail on the narrow portions of San Elijo Avenue. In that instance, retaining walls would then be required on parts of the road to stave off erosion.

SANDAG held the meeting to get feedback on which route residents prefer for the first segment of the rail trail, which will run from Chesterfield Drive in Cardiff to E Street in downtown Encinitas.

Among the crowd of about 75, resident Julie Thunder expressed concern that putting the rail trail on San Elijo Avenue would trigger an adjacent fence.

Leader of business group explores secession of New Encinitas from city • Community’s departure from Encinitas ‘highly unlikely,’ says head of Local Agency Formation Commission

BY JARED WHITLOCK The leader of a business group thinks New Encinitas is getting the short end of the economic stick. So he’s looking into the community breaking away from the city.

Mike Andreen, owner of the New Encinitas Network, said New Encinitas generates much of the city’s tax revenue, but he maintains most of those dollars go to projects outside the community. “Currently, New Encinitas is suffering from taxation without representation,� Andreen said.

But the idea of secession was met with skepticism from a council member, the head of another business group and the executive officer of an agency that oversees local borders.

Andreen said during a New Encinitas Network luncheon last week, seven of the group’s 22 members were in attendance and directed him to explore secession. He plans to share the reasons for potentially breaking away in a letter that will soon be sent to the Encinitas City Council.

Andreen said with the city’s upcoming budget taking shape, he’s concerned that funding will primarily go toward projects west of Interstate 5, such as the Leucadia Streetscape, a plan to revamp the area’s Coast Highway 101 corridor. He fears that New Encinitas projects like turf and field lighting for Leo Mullen Sports Park could be shortchanged.

Councilman Tony Kranz said the coun-

cil isn’t ignoring New Encinitas. The budget includes road maintenance funds for New Encinitas, and the council is exploring funding the Leo Mullen Sports Park improvements, he stated.

Kranz acknowledged that some of the larger projects in the preliminary budget are along Coast Highway 101. He said that’s because some of the infrastructure there is old and badly in need of upgrades.

He doubts there’s an appetite among New Encinitas residents for breaking away. “I think they enjoy being a part of this larger city,� Kranz said.

Andreen said he’s also investigating secession because a council majority of Kranz, Lisa Shaffer and Catherine Blakespear vehemently support biking and walking projects, at the expense of infrastructure for commuter roads that are key for business.

He added the council majority is “at war with the gasoline combustion engine.�

In response, Kranz said he’s not anti-car, but rather in favor of “complete streetsâ€? that make room for biking, walking and driving. “I’m not trying to force anyone to ride a bike,â€? Kranz said. “If they have a car and want to drive it ‌that’s great.â€?

New Encinitas is one of the city’s five communities, with the others being Leucadia, Old Encinitas, Cardiff and Olivenhain.

It runs from Via Cantebria to the west and Rancho Santa Fe Road to the east, according to city documents. The commercial El Camino Real corridor bisects the community.

A map shows the boundaries of Encinitas’ five communities. Courtesy image Andreen said secession might strike some as “out there,� but he drew parallels to the city’s 1986 incorporation. It won at the polls because residents wanted a greater say over development and spending priorities. “People’s initial reaction to the word ‘secession’ may be to stop and laugh, but it occurred successfully 29 years ago,� Andreen said of incorporation. “There was a reason for it.

Just as there may be a reason today.�

Michael Ott is the executive officer of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), an organization that oversees changes to local government boundaries.

He said breaking away from a city is much more challenging than transforming an unincorporated area into a new city, which was the case for Encinitas in 1986.

To set the wheels in motion for secession, 25 percent of residents in New Encinitas would have to sign a petition supporting the idea. LAFCO, which would have to sign off, would look closely at the fiscal impacts. Also, a communitywide ballot measure in favor of See SECESSION, page 20

Farmers serve up suggestions for agriculture ordinance

BY JARED WHITLOCK Urban farming advocates said Encinitas’ proposed agriculture ordinance should do more to encourage backyard growers during an April 21 meeting at City Hall.

The draft ordinance would relax livestock buffers, make it easier to set up community gardens and allow residential produce stands without special permitting. Proponents say it would encourage healthy eating and give residents a stronger connection to their food.

Many of the roughly 35 people at the agriculture subcommittee meeting supported slashing a proposed $800 permit for new farms that are larger than an acre or would host frequent events. They said such a steep cost could be prohibitive for many.

Councilman Tony Kranz, one of the two councilmembers on the subcommittee, said $800 is a step in the right direction, because a minor-use permit for such farm operations is currently double that. But he stated he’s open to lowering the fee. “A smaller fee makes sense,� Kranz said.

On that note, Deputy Mayor Catherine Blakespear, the other subcommittee member, said the permitting process for these types of farms has been greatly streamlined under the subcommittee’s proposal.

The ordinance would let homeowners sell fruits, vegetables, shell eggs and “value-added� products like jam from residential farm stands for up to 12 daylight hours a week without permitting. That’s provided the products were produced onsite and the stand is no more than 120 square feet in size.

Eric Larson, executive director of the San Diego County Farm Bureau, said residents should also be able to sell flowers from the stands. “You have a lot of hobbyists who grow cactus and succulents around town,� Larson said. “Why should they be excluded from the opportunity?�

Others said residents should also be able to sell produce or goods from neighbors at their stands sans permits.

Blakespear said that could create issues. “You don’t want to have grocery stores popping up,

dents requeen beehives at least every two years to bolster the domestic bee population. This would mean fewer aggressive Africanized bees, he added. “We need pollinators,� Kranz said.

Other residents said the ordinance should include more information about rules for farmers markets and composting.

The subcommittee began crafting the ordinance last summer. A community meeting will be held in the next month or two to gain more input. And sometime later this year, the Encinitas City Council will give it the final thumbs up or down.

San Dieguito district board OKs raise for new executive director position in 3-2 vote Chickens roam around a local farm. To encourage backyard farms, an Encinitas City Council subcommittee is drafting an urban agriculture ordinance, which farmers weighed in on this week.

Photo by Jared Whitlock where they (the stands) sell bananas from Smart and Final,� Blakespear said. “Trying to strike that balance is what we’re struggling with.�

The ordinance also proposes to cut the buffer in all residential zones for raising chickens, goats or bees. Up to two beehives, for instance, would be OK if they’re at least 15 feet from property lines. For three or more hives, the distance jumps to 600 feet and a permit would be required.

One resident said he has a bee allergy and he would be at a greater risk of getting stung if the city approves the ordinance.

BY KAREN BILLING On April 2, the San Dieguito Union High School District Board approved a reclassification of the district’s director of planning services to executive director of planning services. The new class description comes with a change in salary schedule, and trustees John Salazar and Mo Muir voted against a $23,000 raise, which would bring the director’s salary to $140,000 a year.

Superintendent Rick Schmitt said the new classification reflects the job that the director is actually doing — he said the job is unique and hard to fit. Although neither the board nor the superintendent used the employee’s name during the meeting, the director is John Addleman, who has been in the district since 1999. “For me, what makes this process interesting is that in order for a classified employee to be eligible for reclassification opportunity, they have to work out of their class for See RAISE, page 20

Encinitas raises fine for repeated violations of city code to $1,000

BY JARED WHITLOCK Those who repeatedly break Encinitas’ city code — from unpermitted business signs to noise — will soon be hit with a larger fine.

The Encinitas City Council voted unanimously April 15 to double the fine for a third code violation to $1,000.

Council agreed last fall to consider more expensive citations after some residents argued that city fines aren’t steep enough to deter downtown Encinitas bars from breaking the rules.

The city’s fine schedule will stay the same for a first infraction ($100) and second ($200). But now, third and subsequent fines will run $1,000 each, after being previously set at $500.

If the violation continues, a notice is recorded on the property’s title. From there, it could go to court.

Councilwoman Lisa Shaffer said at the April 15 meeting that going from $200 for a second violation to $1,000 for a third would speed up compliance for those who keep breaking the rules.

“I think it’s both symbolic and substantive to shorten the time period and get to the higher fine,” she said.

Shaffer added despite few residents or businesses receiving a third violation, a tougher fine at this level would provide more of a reason to follow city code.

City Planning Director Jeff Murphy said those breaking the rules are given a shot to come into compliance, with more time for building permit violations that can’t be fixed overnight. Last year, 90 percent of violations were corrected without fines after city notification.

Twenty-seven individuals or businesses that remained out of compliance were cited $100 in 2014. Of those 27, seven went on to receive at least two $500 fines.

Cities like Del Mar and San Marcos charge $1,000 for a fourth violation, but Encinitas is the first in San Diego County to jump to $1,000 for a third infraction.

Murphy said the new fine amount will take effect in late May or early June.

Encinitas reviewing park and rec fees

BY BARBARA HENRY SPECIAL TO THE ENCINITAS ADVOCATE Encinitas plans to re-evaluate its park and recreation fees using a new, consultantprovided system that ranks city programs and services based on their benefit to the community.

The study will take place in the coming months, and city parks employees expect to bring any proposed fee changes to the City Council in the fall.

At the council’s April 15 meeting, the panel tried to assure residents that it didn’t want to raise fees and that no one should assume increases were automatically coming.

But GreenPlay — the Colorado-based company the city hired to create the ranking system — is recommending that Encinitas rethink many of its current fees.

According to the company’s report, the city should: • Consider charging for sports field use.

• Stop offering class discounts for seniors, and instead simply offer lower fees to anyone who signs up for classes held during “off-peak” hours.

• Change the city’s nonresident fee for classes and programs from a flat rate to a percentage-based figure.

Council members said at their April 15 meeting that many of the consultants’ recommendations were non-starters.

The panel also voted to eliminate an appendix to the report that listed the ways other cities have increased parks department revenue. That list included everything from charging parking fees at city recreation facilities to allowing cellphone companies to rent space in city parks for tower projects.

“Most of Appendix G, if it ever came before me, I don’t think I could support those things,” Mayor Kristin Gaspar said as she made the motion to eliminate that section from the consultants’ report.

Others on the council strongly agreed.

“I don’t want to raise any fees, I don’t want to cut any programs,” Councilman Tony Kranz said.

However, he and others said, the report had some good elements, particularly the proposal to use a pyramid-style system to set parks fees. Under such a system, the city would charge low or no fees for programs with broad community appeal — ones that would be ranked at the “bottom” of the pyramid. Classes or services that benefited only a few people would sit at the top of the pyramid, and their users would pay much more for that privilege.

Councilwoman Catherine Blakespear said the consultants also were right to recommend that the city review its recreation classes to see whether they directly compete with private companies. For example, she said, the city doesn’t need to offer karate classes because there are several karate schools in town.

While council members had mixed reactions to the consultants’ work, the four residents who spoke on the issue all said the city was making a mistake if it proceeded with the fee project.

“Since when has Parks and Recreation been relegated to the status of a cash cow?” asked Bob Bonde, who has been pushing for the city to reduce Fire Department expenses.

Rhonda Graves, a former longtime city employee, said the consultants’ recommendations bordered on ridiculous, saying they’re suggesting that the city should make a profit on things like its free annual kids Easter egg hunt.

“If the city is so desperate for money … maybe you could turn El Camino and Encinitas Boulevard into toll roads,” Graves said. “Just think of how much this could generate.”

Encinitas school district teachers get raise

BY JARED WHITLOCK Under a new district contract, Encinitas Union School District teachers received a 4 percent salary increase — retroactive to July 2014. They’ll get an additional 2 percent bump come this July.

The district board on April 15 unanimously approved the increases.

“We’re happy to be able to help our teachers out,” Superintendent Tim Baird said when reached for comment April 20.

Baird said the district agreed to the raises largely because of increased property tax revenue, the district’s primary funding source. Also, quite a few teachers retired this year and new teachers were hired at lower salaries, offsetting part of the cost, he added.

The 4 percent increase for the district’s roughly 250 teachers during the 2014-15 school year comes at an expense of $926,385, while the 2 percent raise for the 2015-16 school year will cost $481,720.

About a year ago, district teachers were given a 2.5 percent raise that was retroactive to July 2013, their first increase in six years.

“There are bad years, but whenever the tax receipts are coming in higher, it’s nice to share that with the employees,” Baird said.

As a testament to revenue from property taxes climbing, a mere three years ago the district board planned to lay off 36 teachers, though ultimately the board was able to rescind all layoff notices.

Before the board’s April 15 vote, the average district teacher made $75,386. Starting in July, that figure will increase to $79,918.

About three months ago, the district began negotiations over salaries with the union TOE, or Teachers of Encinitas. The group did not respond to an email request to comment.

Baird said the board will probably approve contracts with each management and the union COE (Classified of Encinitas) in the next month or so. COE represents about 230 “classified” support positions, such as office managers and custodians.

Vigilucci’s restaurant expansion wins OK

BY BARBARA HENRY, SPECIAL TO THE ENCINITAS ADVOCATE Worries that downtown Encinitas’ late-night, alcohol-related problems might spill northward into sleepy Leucadia resulted in extra scrutiny April 16 for an Italian restaurant’s expansion proposal.

After debating extra noise-control measures and questioning whether the place was likely to become rowdy at night, the city’s Planning Commission ultimately voted to approve permit requests allowing Vigilucci’s Trattoria Italiana restaurant to add a 204-squarefoot patio area where patrons can have a glass of wine with their meals.

Before the unanimous vote, commissioners heard from several Leucadia residents who appeared divided over the proposed addition to Vigilucci’s, which has recently taken over what used to be Robbie’s Roadhouse at 530 N. Coast Highway 101.

Leucadia residents should be concerned about alcohol-serving establishments expanding in their part of town because the city has done such a poor job of cracking down on late-night, alcohol-related problems in the city’s downtown, Leucadia resident Susan Turney said, noting that downtown residents have been trying for years to get the city to do more enforcement.

“The city doesn’t control bar noise in the downtown now,” she said.

But fellow Leucadia resident Kathleen Lees said she’d recently been to Vigilucci’s and it’s “not like downtown.”

“I felt like I was in a grown-up place,” she said as she described how the restaurant’s piano player performed Frank Sinatra pieces.

Restaurant owner Roberto Vigilucci told commissioners that the piano player is typical of the type of live entertainment he’ll be providing, adding that he doesn’t plan to bring in bands. And the live music will probably stop by 9 or 10 p.m. each night, he said.

“Leucadia is still a sleepy town,” he added, explaining why he didn’t expect to have much late-night activity at his restaurant.

Commissioners approved his permit requests with one extra condition: A set of doors between the restaurant and the new patio must close at 10 p.m. each night, so noise from inside the restaurant won’t disturb sleeping residents nearby.

They also contemplated requiring the installation of clear plastic soundproofing walls around part of the new patio area, but after much debate decided against it. Vigilucci said the patio area will often be enclosed at night anyway with clear curtains to keep patrons warm, and those curtains will provide some soundproofing.

His architect, Bart Smith, said the scrutiny they’ve received for the patio project has been surprising, given how small the space will be — it’s only going to have room for eight diners. Smith said he knows there’s been an “uproar” about alcohol-related problems in the downtown in recent years.

That’s why this project, which previously would have required only city staff review, now must go before the Planning Commission for permit approval, he said.

SDA students shine at state Thespian Festival with three first-place awards

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Several members of San Dieguito Academy’s Thespian Troupe #2196 competed in the annual California State Thespian Festival, during the March 27-29 weekend. Three groups brought home first-place awards, and all involved had “an exhilarating experience,” according to junior Alex Read, part of the winning five-member dance team.

Competing in such a large-scale event — there were 1,200 talented participants — was slightly overwhelming, said Alex. But the anxiety was tempered by being able to perform with her “best friends,” she added. These friends were freshmen Jenna Steinberg, Rami Ibrahim and Stephen Read, with sophomore Thea Farber.

The dancers performed a self-choreographed tap sequence to “King of New York” from the musical “Newsies.”

Despite a sound hitch during their audition that had them tapping a cappella, they won first place in the dance category.

In the musical theater arts, senior Samantha Steinberg and junior Will Fletcher performed “The Song That Goes Like This” from “Spamalot.”

Choosing the song was the hardest part, said Samantha.

“So we researched comedic male/female theater duets and this one came up.”

The song is a parody that pokes fun at musical duets.

“The second we heard it, we both knew we had to do it, because we’d have a great chance (of winning) with it,” added Samantha. The judges agreed, awarding Samantha and Will first place in the duet musical category, beating out 50 competing duets.

Junior Jessica Morilak joined with Samantha and Will for the group musical number, “I’ve Decided to Marry You,” from “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder,” competing against 10 other groups.

The piece was performed at last year’s Tony Awards and is very popular, Jessica said. Initially, finding a song written

for a male and two females was not easy. But it became “ the obvious choice,” she added, despite the complexity of an arrangement with challenging harmonies and a lot of blocking.

The scene for the song required the difficult stage convention of two doors, “but we realized we could make the door out of chairs and improvised that way,” Jessica said — a winning device that helped place them first in the group musical category.

Winners were given the opportunity to perform on the main stage in front of a packed auditorium of about 1,500 people. The festival was held at Upland High School in Riverside County, attracting troupes statewide. Thespian Troupes are part of the greater California Educational Theatre Association.

Will Fletcher, Margot Leach, Maggie Lombard, Ciara Reiter, Delaney Ryan-Cast also successfully auditioned for the festival’s All State Show competing against all troupe members to perform in a variety show presented on Sunday.

Joining a Thespian Troupe involves strict membership protocols. “To be inducted into the club, you have to earn 10 thespian points for doing shows at school,” said Will.

“Each point is worth 10 hours, so you must complete 100 hours of show-work to join.”

Despite the rules the Thespian Troupe is one of largest clubs on SDA’s campus and has five officers who oversee it.

Samantha is vice president and said that a big draw is being able to take part in the popular Comedy Sportz and to work in shows — whether as tech support or as performers — in SDA’s Performing Arts Center.

The camaraderie and a love for theater arts is also a common denominator for Thespians, and Samantha had advice for future participants of the state festival: Work as hard as you can.

“We totally dedicated ourselves to both our trios and duet — the tap group did that as well — and it really paid

L-R: Jessica Morilak, Will Fletcher, Stephanie Steinberg off,” Samantha said, adding, “and we definitely would not be where we are without (theatre director) Mrs. Siers supporting us and pushing us to be our best.”

Coming soon to SDA’s Performing Arts Theater is the musical “Mary Poppins,” with Samantha Steinberg cast as lead. Visit http://sd.sduhsd.net/ and click on the theater link for show dates and ticketing.

Leucadia musician Darius Degher preparing release of sixth album

BY ROB LEDONNE Because he started writing and performing when he was a child, Leucadia resident Darius Degher said music has been the most consistent thing in his life.

“I do it for myself, because I have to,” said Degher of the creative process. “These albums I put out every few years are kind of like snapshots of my life. They all have pretty substantial meaning for me.”

Degher’s latest is called “Eleven Story Strum,” which, true to it’s name, is a collection of 11 songs written in a story format. “The title was an impulsive one,” he conceded. “I hadn’t thought of a title yet as it was going to the printers.

When I was listening to it while it was being mixed, I realized that they’re all story songs, which is part of my style.”

Degher has been developing his style for the past six albums, but he started honing his craft as a 9-year-old. “My brother was 10 years older than me, and he always had Bob Dylan or Van Morrison records playing,” explained Degher of his earliest influences. “I wrote my first song when I was “I still get excited about 11, and I remember performing it at a sixth-grade assembly.” the idea of giving birth to Along with music, writing has been another constant in a new record,” says Darius Degher’s life. He teaches an online creative writing course for Degher. Photo courtesy of a public school in Sweden. (His wife is Swedish, and the De- Dennis Andersen ghers lived there for the better part of 12 years before relocating to North County.) In addition, last year he released his first book of poetry, called “To See The Sound,” which according to Degher contains poems about “perspective, the shifting ways we see the world, the interplay of our ideals and the senses as we negotiate our lives and deaths.”

It’s the music side of Degher’s creative life that has been on the front burner of late, as he’s been focusing on “Eleven Story Strum.” The album, which Degher produced, was mixed

by San Diego native Jeff Berkley. Drums, meanwhile, were recorded in Los Angeles with some of Degher’s old friends.

“I still get excited about the idea of giving birth to a new record,” said Degher. “As far as people hearing it, I hope that people will really enjoy it, but I also have released enough records to know that doesn’t always happen.”

Throughout the process, he keeps a sense of humor about his art. (As an example, the recent press release touting “Eleven Story Strum” was titled, “Middle-aged folksinger with badly managed career releases new CD!”) “I take inspiration from all sorts of things,” noted Degher. “On the album, some songs are fictional while others are autobiographical.”

“Eleven Story Strum” is slated to be released on May 10, Mother’s Day, and will be available on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapodsy and Spotify. A record release party is scheduled for the same day from 1-4 p.m. at Tower 13 in Cardiff. For more on Degher, visit www.dariusdegher. com.

Former foster youths to share their stories April 28 at community center What’s it like to grow up as a foster child after being abused, neglected or abandoned by your parents? How does it feel to then move from home to home and to face the unimaginable pain of being separated from siblings?

Young adults who have lived through the foster care system will answer those tough questions, and many others, during a panel discussion from 6 to 7:30 p.m. April 28 at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive, Encinitas.

“The Real Word” speakers provide first-hand accounts about life in the dependency system. The speakers, who have shared their stories across the country, describe their challenges and how they overcame them with the help of a Court-Appointed Special Advocate, or CASA volunteer. CASAs represent foster children in court, school — or anywhere else — and contribute greatly to the success of a foster child.

“Real Word” panelists are trained by Voices for Children, a San Diego-based nonprofit whose mission is to provide CASAs to foster children to ensure that their needs are met.

“As the adoptive father of six foster children, I know the challenges that children living in foster care face every day,” said county Supervisor Dave Roberts. “I am proud to support Voices for Children. Working together, we can change the trajectory of foster kids’ lives.

Voices for Children is the only organization in San Diego and Riverside counties that is authorized to recruit, train and supervise Court-Appointed Special Advocates for abused and neglected children. By 2017, Voices for Children hopes to match every child in the San Diego County foster care system with a CASA. “The Real Word” is open and free to anyone 18 or older; the event is not appropriate for children. Registration is required and can be completed online at www.speakupnow.org.

To learn more about “The Real Word” or becoming a CASA volunteer, call 858-598-2213 or visit www.speakupnow.org.

Daisy Scouts mark Earth Day with planting project at Rhoades School Daisy Girl Scout Troop #1280 from the Rhoades School marked the 45th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22 by planting a milkweed garden at the school, in an effort to help the declining monarch butterfly population.

Milkweed is a favorite plant of the monarch butterfly, and the hope is that the garden will attract butterflies to The Rhoades School The Daisies dug the holes, amended campus.

The girls worked in teams to dig the holes, the soil and planted milkweed to help amend the soil, plant, mulch and water the nourish monarch butterflies. school garden. The participating Daisy Scouts earned an “Earth Day” patch for their work on this project.

The Rhoades School has a long-standing tradition of establishing and supporting Girl Scout troops. The school’s Junior and Cadette Girl Scouts recently led a Flag Salute Color Guard Ceremony in conjunction with the Daisy Scouts at The Rhoades’ 35th anniversary celebration; the young Scouts benefit tremendously from the guidance, mentoring and friendship afforded by the older Girl Scouts as they interact.

Troop #1280 is made up of 19 kindergarten and first-grade girls. Daisies are the youngest Girl Scouts in the 103-year-old organization. Troop #1280 meets monthly in Encinitas with the goal of “making the world a better place” and is part of the Encinitas Service Unit and San Diego Council of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America.

Service projects such as the planting, care and maintenance of the milkweed garden help the girls on their leadership journey by giving them an opportunity to discover, connect and take action, a leadership philosophy of the Girl Scouts. The girls are working toward earning their Daisy Petals; each Scout activity is intentionally selected to help teach lessons about the Girl Scout Law and Promise by exploring 10 individual Petal topics ranging from honesty and fairness to friendliness and helpfulness. Next week, Troop #1280 will visit a local assisted living facility to sing and do craft projects with the residents.

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - APRIL 24, 2015 - PAGE A7

Enchantment with magic began early for former North County resident

BY ROB LEDONNE On an early Friday afternoon in Los Angeles, Joel Ward was reminiscing about his North County upbringing. “The North County was my stomping ground,” he said. “It was definitely what started everything.”

The “everything” Ward referred to is an in-demand career as a touring magician and comedian, a profession that has taken him to clubs and theaters across the country, as well as appearances on such shows as Comedy Central’s “Tosh.0” and the NBC late-night mainstay, “The Tonight Show.” Just in the past few days, Ward zigzagged from Utah to Las Vegas to his home of Los Angeles.

Through his current success, Ward keeps his North San Diego County roots firmly in mind, especially since that was where he developed his interest in magic.

“The first time I saw a magician, I was in first grade at Cardiff Elementary School,” he remembered. “It was at an assembly, and I thought it was all so corny. I had my arms crossed and I vividly remember not caring. Then he called me up on stage and performed a trick with me. After the enJoel Ward got hooked on tire school applauded, I got hooked.”

From there, Ward became obsessed with the craft, learn- magic at Cardiff Elementaing tricks from a book his father got him for Christmas and ry School, and it’s led to a successful career. Photo by becoming a well-known kid magician.

“Once I learned my first trick, which was to make a coin Bradford Rogne disappear, I started doing it right away for everyone,” Ward said. “I then began working birthday parties in Cardiff. I was 10 years old.”

He practiced his skills wherever he could, whether it was stints at Sea World, or in Encinitas at the Red Robin or the former Big Jim’s Old South Bar-B-Q. “I knew I wanted to pursue it as a career right away,” said Ward, who moved out of his house by the time he graduated from La Costa Canyon High School in 2001.

After attending MiraCosta College, it wasn’t until a 2001 stint with Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus that he started incorporating comedy into his act. “Up until then, I was performing as a serious magician,” he explained. “After working with Ringling Brothers — where I had to wear costumes — I finally just broke out of that.”

Ward’s persistence paid off as he turned himself into a premier magician who continues to tour the country and has a packed schedule.

“I’m probably traveling more this year than I ever have,” said Ward, who’s already performed at 31 colleges in 2015 so far. “Recently I’ve been focusing on colleges and universities. Students are so much fun; they’re the best audience. They come wanting to have a good time.”

Ward concedes the travel can be “exhausting,” but he said he’s taking his busy schedule in stride. “Right now, everything’s going good,” he said. “You get into a rhythm.”

He still visits North County whenever he can — whether it’s to go surfing or visit his family. “Any chance I get to go down there, I take it.”

For more on Joel Ward, visit joelward.com. His next North County-area show will be at PowPAC, Poway’s Community Theatre, on June 12 and 13. Tickets go on sale soon.

Encinitas artists are focus of major exhibit Encinitas artists Svetozar and Ruth Clark Radakovich are the focus of an exhibit celebrating their paintings at the Encinitas Library Gallery now through May 31.

An opening reception for “Radakovich: A Retrospective, Yugoslavia to Encinitas, 1939 to 1992” will be held from 1-4 p.m. May 2 at the Gallery, with viewing of a trailer for the upcoming documentary, “Forging Love and Wearing Sculpture,” at 2 p.m. A panel discussion follows with artists and art experts James Hubbell, Arline Fisch, Dave Hampton, Jean Radakovich and Francine Filsinger.

Members of the Neave Trio announce the Music Side by Side chamber music program.

Neave trio launches Music Side by Side •A free coaching/training program for emerging chamber musicians.

The Neave Trio (Fisch/Axelrod Trio-in-Residence at San Diego State University) is introducing the first annual Music Side by Side chamber music program, taking place in Encinitas, May 11-16. The Neave Trio will present the free, week-long coaching/training program for established musicians of all ages and abilities who are interested in performing chamber music. Participants will rehearse and perform alongside Neave Trio professional musicians Anna Williams, violin, Mikhail Veselov, cello, and Toni James, piano. The program is in partnership with ACMP, City of Encinitas Arts Division, and Villa Musica Community Music Center, and is made possible by a grant from the City of Encinitas and Mizel Family Foundation Community Grant Program.

“An important part of our ensemble’s mission is to use music to connect with one another and create opportunities for the exchange of ideas and experience” said Anna Williams. “The unique format of Music Side by Side reflects our goal of creating a relaxed environment in which all levels are encouraged. By coaching and performing as members of the participant ensembles, we break down the labels of ‘student’ and ‘teacher’, and create a sense of community and learning from each other.”

Hailed by critics as “brilliant” (MusicWeb International) the Neave Trio has “exceeded the gold standard and moved on to platinum” (Fanfare). The Trio is the first ever Fisch/Axelrod Trio-in-Residence at San Diego State University, with members hailing from the United States, Scotland and Russia. They have enjoyed international success, performing across the United States, South America, UK and Europe in some of the world’s finest concert halls including Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall, Jordan Hall and Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre.

Berkley Hart Selis Twang to play country/folk May 2 in Encinitas Berkley Hart Selis Twang, a relatively new folk/country act of veteran San Diego Music Award-winning musicians Jeff Berkley, Calman Hart, Eve Selis, and Marc “Twang” Intravaia, will perform at 7:30 p.m. May 2 in Encinitas.

The all-ages event takes place at San Dieguito United Methodist Church, 170 Calle Magdelena, hosted by San Diego Folk Heritage. Admission is $18 for members and $22 standard, available at the door or online.

After completing a UK tour last summer, BHST introduced their debut record in October to a sold-out crowd at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, featuring special guest Jack Tempchin. The eponymously titled album combines the country rock of Selis and Intravaia with the country folk of Berkley and Hart to create a fresh sound, rich with vocal harmony and powerful lyrics.

From the heart-warming opening track “This Is Home,” to the heart-wrenching ballad “If I Lost You,” to the heart-stopping rocker “Delilah,” these tracks are guaranteed to touch and inspire. If you like Crosby Stills Nash & Young, the Eagles, and Linda Ronstadt, you will love Berkley Hart Selis Twang.

May 2 at Fairgrounds Pug Rescue of San Diego County, an all-volunteer nonprofit dedicated to rescuing unwanted, neglected, abandoned and relinquished pugs, will host its 24th annual Pug It’s pugs aplenty at the 2014 Pug Rescue of San Diego Party from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. County Pug Party at the fairgrounds. Photo by Karen May 2 at the Del Mar Fair- Billing grounds’ Paddock Area.

From 500 to 600 pugs are expected to attend, as well as several pugs that will be available for adoption. This event is one of the largest gatherings on the West Coast to celebrate the pug breed and to help pugs in need.

This year’s theme is “Vegas Pugs,” and organizers are expecting some of the most creative costumes yet — showgirls, Rat Pack, perhaps Elvis?

The annual event also boasts a shopping boutique with pug-friendly vendors. Popular contests for pugs and their parents will be held through the day such as costume-themed competitions, the Wet T-Shirt Contest, the Cupcake Chomp, Pug Talent Show and the recognition of the Most Distinguished Senior Pug. There will also be a raffle of more than 20 beautiful baskets with gifts and unique items any recipient would love.

Pug-friendly services are also available throughout the day, such as pawticures, pug massages, facials and more. There will be an “Ask the Vet” session to address pug-specific concerns, and a professional photographer will provide portraits, a feature many pug parents look forward to year after year.

All proceeds go to Pug Rescue’s efforts. In 2014, volunteers from Pug Rescue took in more than 150 pugs. According to the organization, nine out of 10 pugs that enter Pug Rescue need some sort of medical attention. Relinquished pugs live in foster care until their forever homes are found and it can take more than $1,200 per pug just to get them ready for adoption.

Admission is $10 for adults, and $5 for youth ages 10 to 18. Kids under 10 are free.

Guests interested in adopting a pug from Pug Rescue are encouraged to fill out an application in advance. Volunteers are also needed. For details, application forms, and photos of available pugs, visit pugsandiego.com or call 619-685-3580.

‘Friday Night Live’ music returns to Carlsbad Village starting May 1 Carlsbad Village welcomes the return of “Friday Night Live,” where live music fills the sidewalks of Grand Avenue, State Street and Roosevelt Street from 7-9 p.m. Fridays in summer.

“Friday Night Live” will kick off May 1, where many of Carlsbad Village’s retailers will stay open late to celebrate the series. Stop into local boutique Aranelle for a free refreshment before you get your groove on. Enjoy a hot cocoa from Carlsbad Chocolate Bar to stroll the streets with, sit on Paon’s outdoor patio with a glass of wine, or check out the local galleries and murals throughout downtown.

Carlsbad Village has been the playground for many renowned musicians, spanning decades and genres, bringing their talent to Village residents. Bassist Ron Blair of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, guitarist Stevie Salas who played with Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger, lead guitarist John Steely of Daughtry and Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Jason Mraz all have put down roots in the community. The shock wave created by these and many are what make Friday Night Live free sidewalk concerts so special. It’s a chance to get the community together over something they’ve always shared, a passion for good tunes.

“Friday Night Live” is a free community event organized by the Carlsbad Village Association. It runs through July 31. For information, visit Carlsbad-Village.com.

‘Stuff You Already Know’ author to share more wisdom at local appearances

BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ The road to becoming a writer is different for every author, but for most there is a catalyst that makes them finally sit down in a chair and write. For career counselor and University of San Diego adjunct faculty member Gina DeLapa, a love of writing that started in childhood became a book as a result of bits of advice written in a journal for her nephew — which turned into the successful “Stuff You Already Know' series, which includes “Stuff You Already Know” and “Stuff You Already Know — And Every College Student Should.”

Aspiring writers will find inspiration in what DeLapa shares about her process. And with graduation around the corner, bring your high school or college students to meet her and learn how to maximize their educational experience at 1 p.m. May 9 at Barnes & Noble Grossmont Center and 7 p.m. May 15 at Bookstar in La Jolla. For more on DeLapa and her books, check out www.stuffyoualreadyknow. com.

Q: You are the author of the “Stuff You Already Know” series. If we already know it, why write the books?

Ha! Great question. The shortest answer can be found in my tagline: “Life’s Ultimate Reminders.” We do know this stuff, but sometimes we all need small reminders to keep us moving in the right direction.

Q: What kind of Stuff will readers find in “Stuff You Already Know for College Students”?

All the stuff they’ll wish they had known in hindsight — from creative ways to choose a major to how to get rid of Camping Carl, the guy who drops by the dorm room and won’t leave. Most of all, students will discover practical ways to maximize the return on their college investment, both inside the classroom and far beyond it.

Q: What was your inspiration for the series?

It really started with the desire to share a few words of wisdom for my non-biological nephew Adam, who was just starting high school. There was “stuff” I wanted him to know, to

make his life easier. I’m proud to say that first book has since been enjoyed by people of all ages, from middle schoolers to folks in their eighties and, of course,

by Adam, who’s now a junior.

Q: Writing figured in your life since you were a child, and you even edited two national newsletters.

But what made you finally sit down and write a book?

I guess I have a lot of opinions! The deal with Adam started as a collection of notes —mostly one-liners — in a red leather journal.

The more I surrendered the whole thing, the more my enthusiasm grew, and the more people flooded into my life to make it something bigger than I could have envisioned on my own — first, a book, and then a series.

The cool thing is, the store where I bought that red leather journal, Bookstar at Costa Verde, now carries my books! If I can throw in a quick, shameless plug, I hope to see as many people as possible at the store event on Friday, May 15. Or at the B&N in Grossmont on May 9.

Q: You have a master’s in counseling and are a career counselor and adjunct faculty member at University of San Diego. How does your training and work play into your writing?

I see so much good in the twentysomething generation. They’re so full of life, so witty, and optimistic. On a good day, they bring out those qualities in me. And I venture to say readers will see those qualities reflected in my writing.

Q: Family has been a huge part of your life. How has family influenced your books?

As a kid of maybe 3 or 4, I remember taking family trips to the public library. I loved books, even just the smell of them. My mother and older brothers taught me how to read before kindergarten. So I think that planted the seed for my love for words. When I was in high school, my dad and I would read poetry together.

Some of it was really sappy, but it really brought us together.

Beyond that, as the

youngest, I probably did a lot of observing. And as a young adult, my mother inspired me by her example to keep a “Lessons Learned” journal. Without that, I don’t think there would be a “Stuff You Already Know” series. Thanks, Mom! Q: What is the easiest part of being a writer?

What is the most difficult?

I get paid to affirm and encourage other people — and to get them to laugh and maybe see life in a different way. It’s an awesome privilege, because let’s face it, life can be hard. On the other hand, so can writing!

Sometimes as writers, we find ourselves telling stories we’ve never shared with anyone, including ourselves — for example, when I wrote (in the first book) about my friend Susie, under the banner of, “Don’t make death harder than it is,” it ripped my heart out to relive that experience. But in the end, the story offered hope and redemption. I would not have left it in the book had it turned out otherwise.

Q: As you became a

Gina DeLapa is a career counselor and USD adjunct faculty member. Her love of writing turned into the “Stuff You Already Know” series. Courtesy photos published author, what was the most important lesson you learned along the way?

Maybe just to get over myself! This really isn’t about me — it’s about passing along what I’ve learned, in the best way I know how, and trusting God with the results.

I’m very careful in all my books to tell the reader, “Filter this through the lens of your own experience, and keep and pass along only what is helpful.”

Q: What was the best piece of advice you were given as a writer?

A guy named Hugh Aaron, a business-owner-turned-author, reminded me that writing itself was its own best reward. “Good thing,” he added, “because it’s tough to sell your wares.” Then he summed up with, “You want to write?

Then write.”

Q: What is the most important bit of Stuff you would pass along to aspiring authors?

Honor your own writing style — whether it’s literary, journalistic, or just pithy one-liners.

When someone tries to stop you or discourage you — as they will — use it as rocket fuel.

I’m serious about that. And to paraphrase my old friend Hugh Aaron, if you want to write, write. Use your writing to make the world better, and writing truly will be its own best reward.

OBITUARIES

Frederick William Steese 1951 – 2015 Frederick Steese, a noted North County CPA and a former president of the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club, died April 15, 2015.

The cause of death was an apparent heart attack, he was 63.

He was born in Burbank on October 17, 1951, graduated from Granada Hills High School and earned his undergraduate degree at San Diego State University and was a Certified Public Accountant

in California.

Fred was outstanding in golf and baseball in high school. A local newspaper in the San Fernando Valley dubbed him “Slugger Steese” for his boxing skills.

Steese joined Leaf and Cole, a public accounting firm in San Diego, shortly after graduating from SDSU. He later joined with Dick Wehmeyer to form Wehmeyer & Steese, a public accounting firm in Rancho Santa Fe. Following Wehmeyer’s retirement, Steese later opened his own firm, Frederick Wm. Steese, in Encinitas in 2002.

“To know Fred was to love him. He was fun, engaged and a marvelous raconteur. He could cite sports statistics and dates faster than anyone I’ve ever known, “ said Bob Page, a former owner of the Rancho Santa Fe Review, and a longtime personal friend.

He was an Aztec for Life whose love for San Diego State was contagious. If you asked him to name the starting lineup for any

Aztec basketball team, no matter how many years ago, he could. He always said statistics came easily for him, “after all, I spend my life in numbers!”

The irony of his death on America’s tax day seems hard to fathom. True to his dedication to his clients, he resisted his friends and wife Vicki’s insistence that he check himself into a hospital as he was struggling with chest pains. Unfortunately, he put work before his health.

“Fred was the ultimate Aztec. He loved his alma mater,” said Steve Thomas, a Rancho Santa Fe resident who shared season tickets with him.

Mike Phillips, a Rancho Santa Fe resident and longtime client of Fred’s, said Fred was “a consummate professional, wonderful friend, and perennially frustrated Aztec, Charger and Padre fan.”

He took great pride in Vicki, his life partner for 30 years. When she returned to school to earn her Masters

degree in marriage and family therapy, he was so proud of her. And when he needed assistance in the office, Vicki was always there for him.

In addition to Vicki, he is survived by his sister, Jackie (William) Dahlgren of Saline, Michigan; nephews, Michael Dahlgren and his daughter, Scarlet, of Saline, and Eric (Erica) Dahlgren, and their son, Jonathan, of Chicago; and cousins, Rick Farrell, Tom (Diane) Farrell, Carol Farrell, Gloria (George) Windrum and Diane (Art) Barry. He was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Mary Jane Steese.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe on Saturday, April 25, 2015, at 4 p.m.

Donations in Fred’s name may be made to the Helen Woodward Animal Center.

Crystal-clear vision illuminates jewelry designer’s work • Brenda McDermott partners with Solterra Winery in Encinitas for April 26 showcase

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Brenda McDermott, founder of Rei of Light Jewelry Designs, believes ardently in the healing properties of gemstones and crystals, which she incorporates into her eclectic mix of handcrafted jewelry.

As an introduction to her spring and summer collections — and to support local business and strengthen community — McDermott has partnered with Solterra Winery in Encinitas to present an afternoon of wine, live music and fine jewelry.

From 2-4 p.m. Sunday, April 26, the winery will host a happy hour menu, entertainment will be provided by musicians Xandra and Day Walker, and McDermott will display her collections.

There will be give-aways of jewelry gift certificates along with several raffles for individual pieces.

Rei of Light Jewelry Design was founded six years ago by McDermott, who is also a Reiki practitioner and Pilates instructor. Her jewelry business is online, with some North County stores also carrying her collections, she said.

Many hours go into creating each original piece, from shopping and selecting the highest-quality gemstones and precious metals, to the design and hand-crafting each item sold.

Sustainable agriculture to be topic Preview CCA’s gala silent auction April 23-29 May 1 for free LIFE Club discussion “Sustainable Agriculture, Urban Farming and Food Justice” is a free lecture presented by the LIFE Club @ San Elijo at 1 p.m. May 1 at MiraCosta College.

By most calculations, the world’s population will reach 9 billion people by 2050, accompanied by unprecedented food insecurity issues. Food production will need to increase by 70 percent to meet the demands of these growing populations. When looking ahead, few issues will be more important globally and in small communities than food, local agriculture and the rebuilding of community. Jim Farley, CEO and President of the Leichtag Foundation, and Mim Michelove, co-president of Healthy Day Partners, will discuss the possibilities of what we can all do to begin the shift towards directly connecting residents to their food source.

The lecture will be in room 201 at the San Elijo Campus of MiraCosta College, 3333 Manchester Ave., Cardiff. Parking is $1/day, unless you are a member of the LIFE@San Elijo Club. To join the club, email lifesanelijo@gmail.com and ask to be added to the mailing list.

North Coast Aquatics swimmers finish fast at Far Western Championships Swimmers from North Coast Aquatics made the trip to Morgan Hill, Calif., to compete recently in the 2015 Speedo Short Course Far Western Championships.

Morgan Hill Swim Club (Makos) hosted more than 90 teams that raced at Far Westerns in the four-day swim meet. NCA swimmers competed in both individual events and in team relays over the course of the meet.

Ten-year-old Talia Cercero placed 8th in the 200 Individual Medley (IM) and 5th in the 500 Freestyle. Twelve-year-old Cassidy Lui finished 6th in his 50 Back, 10th in the 100 Back, and 15th in the 200 IM. Ian Moore, also 12, broke the team record in the 50 Freestyle with an official time of 25.24.

Holocaust-inspired ‘Defiant Requiem’ brings its hopeful message to San Diego

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although he didn’t realize it at the time, Murry Sidlin’s path changed when he picked up a book at a Minneapolis bookstore.

“Music at Terezín” told the story of Rafael Schächter, a prisoner at the Terezín concentration camp in what is now the Czech Republic.

Though imprisoned, Schächter taught about 150 of his fellow prisoners to sing Giuseppe Verdi’s “Requiem” and led them in several performances at the camp.

The story is the inspiration behind Sidlin’s “Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín,” a multimedia concert-drama that makes its San Diego debut May 7 at the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Music Center.

From Israel to Germany, the piece has been performed around the world, including in Terezín.

“I thought that this was a very, very significant Holocaust story,” said Sidlin. “I wanted to bring it to light.”

In the two decades since Sidlin picked up the book,

he has conducted nearly three dozen performances of “Defiant Requiem,” which blends Verdi’s music with video testimonies from surviving members of the original Terezín chorus, actors embedded in the orchestra, and original Nazi propaganda film footage made at the camp.

The concert-drama has been featured at the Kennedy Center in D.C., Lincoln Center in New York City and Symphony Hall in Atlanta.

It has also been performed in Jerusalem, Budapest, Prague, Terezín and most recently in Berlin.

Thanks to the local chapter of the Anti-Defamation League, “Defiant Requiem” is coming to San Diego.

Conducted by Sidlin, the concert-drama will feature the San Diego Symphony Orchestra and Master Chorale.

“The concert-drama has been done at some of the finest institutions,” said event chair Caryn Viterbi.

“We’re very excited, and the ADL is very proud to be able

Murry Sidlin will conduct “Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín” on May 7 at Copley Symphony Hall. Photo by Josef Rabara to bring a performance of this quality in nature to a large San Diego audience.”

For months, Viterbi planned the event with her late mother-in-law, Erna Viterbi. The longtime Rancho Santa Fe philanthropist, who survived the Nazi invasion of the former Yugoslavia, died Feb. 17 at the age of 81.

“My mother-in-law was an incredible woman of great compassion,” said Viterbi. “For her, this wasn’t just a Holocaust story. It was a lesson for all humanity — so we would remember and learn that hatred and bigotry should never be our guide, and that silence is never an option in the face of suffering.”

Like her late mother-in-law, Viterbi is also very involved in the community. She serves as a board member of the San Diego chapter of the Anti-Defamation League and sits on the board’s executive committee.

Founded in 1913, the Anti-Defamation League is an international organization that aims to fight anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry, defend democratic ideals and protect civil rights for all. The San Diego regional office has served San Diego and Imperial counties since 1978.

“People don’t know the story of Terezín,” Sidlin said.

“The responsibility of getting people interested in this story and getting them enthusiastic made me go further with it.

“These incredible prisoners of Terezín would not take this lying down. They insisted on performing, on lecturing, on teaching — continuing human development and responding to the worst of mankind with the best of mankind.”

About 2,200 people are expected to attend “Defiant Requiem” May 7 at the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Music Center’s Copley Symphony Hall, 750 B St. in San Diego.

The event starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $30-$175.

All ticket sales, sponsorships and funds raised for the event will benefit ADL San Diego’s Endowment Fund, Lessons from the Holocaust: Changing Hearts and Minds.

“I hope people will come for a very meaningful and inspiring performance, knowing that the proceeds will ensure that future generations will be educated to understand the dangers of hate and prejudice,” Viterbi said. “It’s an opportunity to hear the voices of our past and reflect on lessons for our future.”

oppose plastic bag ban My husband and I have lived in Cardiff, Olivenhain and Encinitas since 1971, and as a former business owner in Encinitas, we have always supported local businesses.

I resent the wrong-headed “bag ban” that the Encinitas City Council has put into effect in an effort to cram down their “do-gooder” ideas on the whole community. There is no science behind their decision, just their “feeling” that this is the right thing for them to impose on everyone else in the community.

The non-woven polypropylene bag (the kind you might buy in the Whole Foods checkout line) must be used 11 times before its supposed “global warming” impact is less than disposable bags. A standard cotton tote requires 131 uses. And this doesn’t take into account the amount of water it would require to wash the standard cotton tote bag.

Did they take this into consideration, given our water shortage in California? I think not!

Our all-knowing Encinitas City Council members have chosen to impose their will on us. One more example of “Big Brother” in action.

We will be taking our business to other cities, such as Carlsbad, where we don’t have to put up with the council’s imposition of a community-wide nuisance that in the long run will make it more difficult for the poor businesses in Encinitas.

County Supervisors approve Laura’s Law

BY SUPERVISOR DAVE ROBERTS In a landmark vote this week, the Board of Supervisors approved implementation of Laura’s Law, which allows for court-ordered treatment of severely mentally-ill people who present a risk to themselves or others.

I have pushed for San Diego to join other counties in adopting this law since I took office and I admire the work of the county’s Health and Human Services Agency, which prepared an implementation plan that presents nine requirements a patient must meet before triggering mandatory care.

Let’s talk about something retirement communities hardly ever mention. Accreditation.

Because having the confidence and peace of mind of accreditation is important. So, let’s talk.

La Vida Del Mar is accredited by CARF International. It’s an independent organization that sets exceedingly high standards for care and service.

It’s a lot like an accreditation for a hospital or college.

Or a five-star rating for a hotel.

But like most things in life, you have to see it to believe it.

So, let’s talk some more at a complimentary lunch and tour.

Please call 858.345.2521 to schedule.

of nighttime lighting.

While challenges await, Wade said he’s glad that the YMCA’s plans are similar to a compromise that the league pitched last month.

The league proposed to give up Field No. 1 in exchange for the YMCA ensuring that the league could stay on the fields through at least 2024.

Wade said the next step for the league is to secure a deal that would keep the YMCA as its permanent home.

“We hope we move into that conversation soon,” he said.

Susan Hight, executive director of the YMCA, sent a letter to the city last week outlining the YMCA’s plans.

“We believe this plan will benefit the entire community for years to come,” Hight wrote.

Notably, Field No. 2 will remain the same, according to the letter. Fields No. 3 and 4 will be converted into turfed multi-sports fields that can accommodate Little League, Encinitas Express Soccer and others.

Hight said the YMCA will launch a fundraising campaign for expansion improvements in the fall and keep the leagues in the loop regarding future construction plans.

The letter also states that the YMCA will eventually cancel the city’s lease of the fields. Hight did not respond to a request for a phone interview.

“It is the intent of the Y to give the city of Encinitas ample notice before terminating the lease,” the letter states. It continues: “We understand the

Encinitas Express Soccer officials are hopeful the city will turf and provide permanent nighttime lighting at Leo Mullen Sports Park. Photo by Jared Whitlock scheduling needs of the city leagues to plan ahead for their seasons and will be mindful of allowing them time to transition to their new schedules,” Hight wrote. “To date, they have been assured all fields will remain available through 2015. It is also our goal to keep all the current schedules intact until the start of construction.”

Encinitas Express President Rick Lochner said he’s glad the YMCA didn’t take more than one field. But, he added, the plan will still mean the league loses almost half its practice time at the sports park.

“It’s a significant negative impact,” Lochner said.

To make up for the loss, Encinitas Express officials have advocated for artificial turf and permanent field lighting at Leo Mullen Sports Park, another location they play.

Leo Mullen Sports Park is prone to closures because of worn-out grass and flooding.

The Encinitas City Council is due to consider funding turf and lighting at Leo Mullen Sports Park during upcoming budget meetings.

“We hope that they turf Mullen and provide lights,” Lochner said. “If they do, we’re in good shape. If they don’t, we’re in bad shape.”

Lochner said the uncertainty of the field situation is tough, because scheduling is done so far in advance.

“You can’t make commitments for your program if you can’t predict what your field situation will be,” Lochner said. “Right now, we have a lot of uncertainty.”

tion, homelessness or death.

I am proud to serve an agency that provides help for people who need it most.

The following is a transcript of the remarks I delivered before the final vote: Mental illness does not discriminate. It can affect any person of any age, race, religion or income.

Some people who suffer severe mental illness refuse to accept treatment, even though their loved ones, caregivers or case workers urge them to do so. We have seen many cases in which that refusal produces tragic results.

Laura’s Law, which allows a judge to order mandatory treatment if a mentally-ill person shows risky behavior and refuses care, would add another option to existing county programs. I consider this option to be another valuable tool to help families in crisis.

That’s why I was pleased to partner with Supervisor Dianne Jacob to bring this program to the Board and on Jan. 27 to vote in support of ordering a thorough staff analysis of Laura’s Law. That vote directed our staff to return with an implementation plan within 90 days.

Today we have that implementation plan and I am so pleased with the extensive work that our staff has done with the community to get us to this point in time. With an affirmative vote today, San Diego will join other large counties such as Los Angeles, Orange and San Francisco in taking this next step forward.

Our county’s new Behavioral Health Advisory Board recently voted 11-0-1 to support this action. This panel advises our Board of Supervisors and I appreciate its hard look and support of this program. But I want to caution that this option may not be the right option for every family. But it is the right step forward and I hope my colleagues will vote to support it.

Dave Roberts is Vice Chairman of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

SECESSION

breaking away would need a majority to pass, followed by a citywide vote, according to Ott. “It sounds highly unlikely,” Ott said.

In the coming weeks, Andreen said he’ll contact more residents and business owners to see whether they’re interested in the idea. If many are in favor, the next step would be to determine just how this new area would be regulated and the exact boundaries, he stated.

City reports give a rough idea of how much each community contributes to the city’s sales and property tax revenues. As one indicator, the most recent city sales tax report showed the Encinitas Ranch shopping complex in New Encinitas was the top sales tax producer among 10 business clusters in the city. From July to September 2014, the complex generated $610,000 in sales tax revenue.

Another cluster called northwest El Camino Real businesses — also in New Encinitas — came in second, with downtown Encinitas in third.

Encinitas Chamber of Commerce CEO Bob Gattinella said he hadn’t heard any interest among residents or businesses in breaking away.

“I’d venture to say it’s only a handful of property owners that are really interested,” Gattinella said. “I don’t see this getting a lot of traction.”

He also said it’s one thing to want more dollars to flow to New Encinitas, but secession is something else entirely.

“If we want to move Encinitas forward, if anything the communities should work together more closely.”

Jim Schmedding, who manages a local business park and belongs to the New Encinitas Network, said the city has been focused on other communities, even though New Encinitas is the city’s economic engine.

“It doesn’t hurt to ask questions about this idea,” Schmedding said.

TRAIL

continued from page 1

“We should not put millions into developing a natural area that’s going to create a fence,” Thunder said.

It was revealed at the meeting that a small fence would indeed be required in order for the trail to be built on San Elijo Avenue, according to planning officials. But advocates of placing the path on San Elijo Avenue pointed out that regardless of where the trail goes, North County Transit District is planning to fence the corridor in the long term.

In response, Thunder said such long-term plans are less likely to come to fruition.

Resident Michele Jacquin said she’d like to bike and walk more along San Elijo Avenue, but the road doesn’t support either of those options.

“Cars go way too fast, and there’s no place for me on the road,” Jacquin said in favor of the San Elijo Avenue alternative.

Others said that residents would be more likely to use the rail trail on San Elijo Avenue, because it would better connect Cardiff neighborhoods and businesses.

However, some observed that if it’s on San Elijo Avenue, parking would be taken away from the road’s west side. With the path there, parallel parking would be required; cars now park perpendicularly on the dirt stretch.

Some simply voiced opposition to any fencing. Residents noted there are few places to legally cross the tracks, saying fencing would further impede coastal access.

One resident adamantly said that he’d take pliers to any fences that go up.

The fencing, according to officials, would be similar to the small post-and-cable fence next to the Santa Fe Drive undercrossing.

Dahvia Lynch, North County Transit District chief planning officer, said a fence is planned in the long term, though it’s not been designed or funded. She added that more legal crossings would have to be a part of any fencing.

According to preliminary estimates, the San Elijo Avenue option would cost $6 million to $7 million, and Highway 101 would run $4 million to $5 million, stated Chris Carterette, an active-transportation planner with SANDAG. SANDAG has budgeted $5.1 million for the first segment. Those funds come from Transnet, the region’s half-cent sales tax for transportation projects.

On Highway 101, a short physical barrier would separate the rail trail from the road.

In addition to the rail trail, a northbound and southbound bike lane, delineated by paint, are also possible.

However, making space for this option could mean eliminating one northbound lane on parts of Highway 101, or even one lane in each direction.

SANDAG officials have said traffic studies would have to support any lane reduction.

Construction is scheduled to start on the rail trail in 2017.

SANDAG envisions the path one day spanning 44 miles. The trail can already be found in places like Solana Beach.

“You want to give people a place to ride where they feel comfortable,” Carterette said.

two full years,” Schmitt said.

Schmitt said for 23 months, Addleman has been working under-class, doing a “phenomenal amount of work” in finance and planning and working with the Prop AA bond.

“This individual makes the bond program work,” Schmitt said. “I always looked at his salary and thought, ‘I hope he doesn’t leave.’”

Management does not have step-and-column salary increases like other district employees, Schmitt said. Salaries increase as management moves from step one through four, and once they reach the fourth step, their salary does not increase.

In voting against the raise, Muir said, “Not just one person is working hard,” and that district staff is always going above and beyond. She advised that the district be very careful in giving money away.

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - APRIL 24, 2015 - PAGE A21

Water rate scheme struck down by state appeals court • Orange County case could have statewide impact amid drought

BY MORGAN COOK, SPECIAL TO THE ENCINITAS ADVOCATE A state appeals court on Monday, April 20, struck down a water conservation measure in San Juan Capistrano, throwing into question billing structures used by more than half of California’s water agencies amid a historic drought.

The way that Orange County city charges more per gallon for heavier water users than others violates the state constitution, the court found.

In San Diego County, tiered pricing is used by almost every water agency, and the Sweetwater Authority in south county is already being sued by the same attorneys who brought the case in Orange County.

Sweetwater, the City of San Diego and the Padre Dam district in east county have imposed the sharpest increases for heavier users, according to a U-T Watchdog survey of rates.

In San Diego, a heavy user might pay $10.36 per 1,000 gallons, compared to a light user paying about half that.

Gov. Jerry Brown has suggested wider use of such pricing structures as a way to cope with the drought.

The 4th District Court of Appeal found that San Juan Capistrano’s rates violated Proposition 218, passed in 1996, which requires governments to charge the cost of a service, and no more. The court found San Juan Capistrano had not demonstrated that water costs the city more per gallon for heavy users than light.

The 28-page ruling, which spent some time waxing about how Southern California has a “desert heart,” invited San Juan Capistrano and other water agencies to charge more for heavy users — but to do so by proving that the additional gallons do cost more.

“City Water also had to correlate its tiered prices with the actual cost of providing water at those tiered levels,” the ruling states. “Since City Water didn’t try to calculate the actual costs of service for the various tiers, the trial court’s ruling on tiered pricing must be upheld simply on the basis of the constitutional text.”

What the ruling didn’t say is, what kinds of studies would withstand legal challenge in assigning a higher cost for one gallon of water than another.

“They said you have to prove costs, but they don’t say how you’ve got to do it,” said Kelly Salt, an attorney with Best Best & Krieger, LLP, a San Diego- based law firm that is defending the Sweetwater Authority.

Undoing the tiered rate structures could have a double-whammy effect on conservation efforts, as water agencies have essentially provided discounts to frugal users by charging more to water hogs.

There is some evidence that the pricing structures have worked, for the goal of conserving water if not for following the state constitution. Customers in San Diego and Sweetwater use the lowest number of gallons per resident in the county, according to a February study by the Equinox Center, a think tank in San Diego.

“It’s so disheartening to me to find the whole idea of structuring rates to promote conservation being (challenged as) improper under the constitution,” Salt said. “Those who place greater demands on a water system should have to pay for it.”

Figuring out how to assign and justify costs could be time-consuming at an urgent juncture, she said.

“The timing couldn’t be worse given the fact that we’re in a major drought,” Salt said.

“Generally to conduct a cost of service study it takes about six months, and on top of that, you have a 45-day period for mail notice before holding a public hearing to adopt the rate.

So if agencies have concerns about their rates in light of this decision and are now being asked to cut back 10 to 36 percent, it will be more difficult to meet those mandates without a pricing signal to conserve.”

Mike Hensley, one of the attorneys representing taxpayers in the lawsuit against the city of San Juan Capistrano, said he does not think the ruling will undo conservation efforts.

“In fact, I think it will cause cities and water districts to really design systems that are not only constitutionally compliant, but can also do conservation,” Hensley said. “It’s consumeristic: you should only pay for what you use, and it should be cost-based, based on

what you use.”

Hensley’s lawsuit against the Sweetwater Authority was filed in September. It was delayed until the appellate court ruling in the San Juan Capistrano case.

Like the lawsuit against San Juan Capistrano, the case against Sweetwater challenges the agency’s tiered rate structure as arbitrary and therefore unconstitutional.

The authority released a customer survey last month that showed dissatisfaction among high-volume water users and those from high-income households. More than half the survey respondents living in the Bonita neighborhood — a higher income section of Sweetwater Authority’s service area — reported dissatisfaction with the rates.

Charging more for heavy users can be justified, some policymakers believe, because the heavy use causes the need for more expensive sources of water. Agencies obtain water from different sources, and water from some sources costs more than water from others.

“A gallon of water looks like another gallon of water, but the cost of providing it can be very different between those two gallons,” said Michael Hanemann, a water expert and professor at the University of California Berkeley.

For example, a district may have a local source of water, which is relatively inexpensive.

When that water gets used up, the agency has to find another source, such as buying imported water, which carries the added cost of transporting it to the agency’s system.

Under the ruling, agencies that use tiered rates will need to find a way to demonstrate that they charge heavy users for the expense of obtaining water to meet the extra demand.

“The upshot is that within a five-year period, a water agency might develop a capital-intensive means of production of what is effectively new water, such as recycling or desalinization, and pass on the costs of developing that new water to those customers whose marginal or incremental extra usage requires such new water to be produced,” the ruling says.

In the city of San Diego, heavy single-family residential customers pay an average 72 percent more than typical users per 1,000 gallons of water, according to the Watchdog’s review of water rates.

Among the reasons for the higher prices for heavy users is the expense of imported water and the costs of the extra stress heavy users place on the water system during hours of peak residential use, said Lee Ann Jones-Santos, the city’s deputy director of finance for public utilities.

“Our peak capacity is higher,” Jones-Santos said. “And that’s how the system is built, to provide at peak capacity.”

In San Diego County, only a few providers charge flat usage rates for all customers, including the Ramona and Valley Center water districts.

Valley Center charges a flat rate for all single-family residential customers, said Jim Pugh, the district’s finance director. They pay $5.34 per thousand gallons. All the water comes from the San Diego County Water Authority.

Even without tiered pricing, the district has been able to achieve a 52 percent reduction over its water consumption in 2004, Pugh said. As a single-source water provider, justifying a tiered rate structure would be difficult, Pugh said last week.

The appellate court’s opinion in the case against the city of San Juan Capistrano doesn’t eliminate tiered pricing, but it probably rules it out as a conservation measure for districts who can’t adequately justify the extra costs for heavy users, said Doug Parker, director of the California Institute for Water Resources at the University of California “I can ask nicely to conserve, I can put rules on it, I could post water use on the internet, shaming people in front of their neighbors — which I probably wouldn’t want to do -or I could raise the price and they’ll respond to that as well,” Parker said. “In a big drought like we have right now we need to use all the tools. There is no one tool that will get people to use the right amount.”

If districts choose to flatten their rates, either because they can’t justify their tiered pricing or to avoid being sued because the new ruling sets precedent, that could mean higher water bills for typical and light water users and lower bills for heavier users.

Local author examines how environment influences our success in life, business

BY KRISTINA HOUCK As the author or editor of nearly three dozen books on business, Marshall Goldsmith knows what he’s talking about. After all, the local resident has worked closely with some of the world’s top men and women in business, including executives at such large companies as Ford, Pfizer and Walmart.

Marshall In his latest book, “Trig- Goldsmith gers: Creating Behavior That Lasts — Becoming the Person You Want to Be,” Goldsmith examines the environmental and psychological triggers that can derail people at work and in life.

“As we journey through life, we create the world around us, and at the same time, the world around us is creating us,” said Goldsmith. “‘Triggers’ talks about our relationship with the environment and how we often unknowingly are influenced by the environment in ways that we don’t understand.”

Available May 19, “Triggers” includes stories from Goldsmith’s work with some of the most successful chief executives and power brokers in the business world. It also outlines how readers can overcome the trigger points in their lives and enact meaningful and lasting change.

“It’s about creating behavior that lasts and becoming the person you want to be,” he explained.

Originally from Kentucky, Goldsmith didn’t become an author until later in life. He was in his late 40s when he published his first book, “The Drucker Foundation: The Leader of the Future.” At the time, he was a board member of the Peter Drucker Foundation.

Today, Goldsmith is the author or editor of 35 books, which have sold more than 2 million copies, been translated into 30 languages and become best-sellers in 12 countries.

His books are inspired by his work as an executive coach.

Goldsmith, who has a Ph.D. from UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, teaches executive education at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business. He has worked with more than 150 major CEOs and their management teams.

As an executive coach, Goldsmith said he first thought that coaching and the client were the key variables for success. He later realized that the environment also played a mayor role, prompting the subject of his latest book.

“I talk about how to understand the various solutions that we have in life, and I talk about how to read the environment and how to become sensitive to the environmental influences that are impacting us as we go through life everyday,” Goldsmith said.

“My goal is to help my readers become closer to the person that they want to be.”

“Triggers” will be available on Amazon and in bookstores beginning May 19. An audio book voiced by Goldsmith will also be available.

Vegas comes to RSF May 9 with ‘Simply Sinatra’ Las Vegas-style entertainment is coming to Rancho Santa Fe in the form of Steve Lippia with his newest program, “Simply Sinatra.”

In this rousing Frank Sinatra tribute show, Lippia interprets the best of the Big Band era and American classic pop by bringing back the timeless appeal of the “Ol’ Blue Eyes” repertoire, including “That’s Life,” “Come Fly With Me,” “Night and Day,” “All the Way,” “New York New York” and more favorites!

More than a sound-alike, Lippia’s interpretation and delivery, great voice, excellent stage presence and charisma have thrilled audiences where he has headlined at major venues in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, New York City, Europe and symphonies across the U.S.A. Steve Lippia Backed with a 10-piece swing band, with his own vocal styling, Steve Lippia sings with tremendous verve, soul, and power. He has become one of the most prominent, in-demand vocalists in the country, establishing him among the finest interpreters of standards and traditional pop music.

Come to the Village Church Fellowship Hall on May 9 as Steve Lippia belts out many of Sinatra’s greatest hits. Doors open at 6 p.m. with concert at 7 p.m. This concert is “cabaret style,” with reserved seating at tables of 10. All are invited to BYO wine/beverage and picnic finger-food to enjoy with your friends before the concert. Community Concerts will provide wine glasses at decorated tables, plus iced water and hot coffee.

You can see a short video clip of Lippia at www.ccrsf.org. Tickets for “Sinatra” can also be purchased with MasterCard and Visa online. Checks are always appreciated, credit cards also accepted, by mail: PO Box 2781, RSF 92067.
