Encinitas budget adds funds for lifeguard coverage, towers BY JARED WHITLOCK Inside the Moonlight Beach lifeguard tower, Encinitas Capt. Larry Giles gazed out at the ocean through binoculars. He closely watched a skiff that was having a difficult time docking at an offshore platform. Downstairs, a crying youth was being treated for a stingray injury. Moments later, a lifeguard bolted down the tower stairs and rushed out to the surf to aid a struggling swimmer. With Moonlight Beach and other city beaches gaining in popularity, such instances are becoming more common for Encinitas lifeguards. To keep up with the sharp increase in people, the recently adopted city budget includes an additional $153,541 for seasonal lifeguard staffing annually. The budget also earmarked funds for two new lifeguard towers so lifeguards can keep an eye on crowds that spread out in search of towel space. “There’s just more people in Encinitas and the county — period,” Giles said. “This translates to more people at our beaches.” One of the new lifeguard towers will be placed at Sylvia Street, just north of the epicenter of Moonlight Beach. The other will go near the Seabluffe complex in Leucadia. These areas have dangerous rip currents and are a significant distance from the current lifeguard towers, Giles said. Giles said the two lifeguard towers still need to be constructed, so they might not debut until next spring. Combined, the towers will run $86,891, with an additional $13,410 for associated equipment. He stated in past years Encinitas had around 35 seasonal lifeguards for city beach operations, and with the new budget, he’s hiring another 10 or so seasonal lifeguards this summer. There are four full-time city lifeguards, a number that will remain the same. Bolstered summertime staffing, at an annual cost of

Encinitas bans ‘puppy mill’ sales ■ Fairy Festival fun held at SD Botanic Garden. Page 17 ENCINITAS ADVOCATE An Edition of 3702 Via de la Valle Suite 202W Del Mar, CA 92014 858-756-1451 encinitasadvocate.com
BY JARED WHITLOCK Encinitas joined a list of more than 80 cities banning the sale of commercially-bred pets — known to critics as “puppy mills.” The city doesn’t have any stores that sell commercially-bred pets. But the Encinitas City Council on June 24 unanimously approved an ordinance with the goal of stopping so-called puppy mills from setting up shop. “I think it’s much better to pass it preemptively,” Deputy Mayor Catherine Blakespear said. The cities that have passed puppy mill ordinances prior to having

such stores haven’t faced legal challenges, Blakespear stated. The ordinance prohibits the retail sale of dogs and cats, except if they’re from an animal shelter or nonprofit humane society. But the legislation exempts breeders who sell dogs and cats at the location where the animal was born and reared. Supporters of the ban packed council chambers, saying pets and dogs from puppy mills are often treated poorly and kept in cramped cages. Leslie Davies said aniSee PUPPY, page 20
San Dieguito district board approves 2015-16 budget, accountability plan BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board adopted its Local Control Accountability Plan and 2015-16 budget at its June 16 meeting. In the next school year, the district’s funding will transition from Basic Aid to the Local Control Funding Formula and is expected to see a 3 percent increase in property taxes and an increase in state funding as well as one-time discretionary state funding. The budget projects revenues of $92 million with $87 million in expenditures and $21 million in reserves. The budget was approved in a 4-1 vote with trustee Mo Muir opposed. Muir said she still wants more counselors and lower class sizes and she has not seen that represented in the budget. She also still has concerns about the new associate superintendent position given to Jason Viloria (formerly the executive director of educational services) and what she believes to be a $30,000 increase in salary.

Water board OKs $430,851 fine for stormwater violations BY JARED WHITLOCK The Regional Water Quality Control Board earlier this month approved a $430,851 settlement over stormwater violations that let sediment pollution flow into Rossini Creek, a tributary of the San Elijo Lagoon. The city of Encinitas and its contractor, USS Cal Builders, had faulty drainage controls at the Encinitas Community Park, resulting in rains in December 2012 and March 2013 pushing park sediment into nearby Rossini Creek, according to the settlement.
During this period, the 44-acre community park at 425 Santa Fe Drive was in the midst of construction. It opened in January. “The mismanagement at this construction site was really unexpected, given the level of experience of both the contractor and the city of Encinitas,� said Chiara Clemente, the Water Board’s enforcement coordinator, in a statement. After months of negotiations with the Water Board, the city in February waived a public hearing and agreed to the full $430,851 fine. But the Water Board still had to sign off on the settlement.

Woman dies when boat capsizes off Encinitas BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A woman believed to have been an undocumented immigrant died June 18 after a collision between a crowded smuggling skiff and a U.S. Customs and Border Protection vessel off the North County coastline, authorities reported. The agents, members of the CBP Office of Air and Marine, spotted the panga early that morning near Encinitas, hailed the occupants and ordered its pilot to yield. The motorboat continued on, prompting the government agents to fire warning shots, said CBP spokeswoman Jackie Wasiluk. The two vessels then collided, causing the skiff to capsize and sending its 20 occupants into the ocean. The agents pulled the group out of the water, then performed CPR on an unconscious woman, Wasiluk said. A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew airlifted her to a medical facility, where she was pronounced dead. The cause of the unidentified woman’s death was not immediately clear. The other migrants were taken to shore. Medics took four of them to a hospital for treatment of apparently non-life-threatening injuries and tended to the remaining 15 at the scene. The entire group was believed to have entered the United States illegally, the spokeswoman said. It was not immediately known whether the suspects might have been transporting any type of contraband.
San Dieguito Union High School District enrollment workshop scheduled to be held Aug. 31 BY KAREN BILLING A tentative date of Aug. 31 has been set for a workshop on how the San Dieguito Union High School District will enroll high school students in the future, including the possibility of drawing new boundaries. At that meeting, there will be a presentation on the options, limited public comment and board discussion with a recommendation on what they would like the district to do. At the June 16 district meeting, Superintendent Rick Schmitt said the district’s recent commitment to add more classes to La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines high schools in the 2016-17 school year may put a dent in the high school enrollment challenges facing the district. One of the No. 1 drivers of students to the open-enrollment academies of San Dieguito and Canyon Crest is the bell schedule and program options; Schmitt hopes that giving students more options will affect how people feel about high school enrollment.

Carjacking suspect arrested in Carlsbad BY CITY NEWS SERVICE An Orange County man allegedly carjacked a sedan at an Encinitas strip mall on Wednesday, June 24, abandoned it a short time later in Carlsbad and then made a failed bid to disguise himself and escape on foot. The 64-year-old owner of a 2009 Toyota Corolla had just finished using a walk-up ATM in front of a Chase bank branch in the 100 block of North El Camino Real when he saw a man walk up to the vehicle and get into the driver’s seat about 7:45 a.m., sheriff’s Sgt. Joe Tomaiko said. The victim, who had left the keys in the vehicle, hurried over and reached inside through a window to try to halt the theft. Instead, he was dragged alongside his car for a short distance before tumbling to the pavement. He suffered no serious injuries, Tomaiko said. Deputies searched the area for the red Corolla and asked area law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for it. Less than 15 minutes later, police in Carlsbad found the compact car ditched in a beach-front neighborhood in the 3000 block of Ocean Street and saw someone running away from it. As officers chased the fleeing man, later identified as Maxwell Post, 24, of Costa Mesa, he allegedly forced his way into a home and stole clothing from a resident “in an attempt to change his appearance,� Tomaiko said. Officers took the suspect into custody moments later as he emerged from the home. Believing that Post was under the influence of a controlled substance, deputies took him to a hospital for an evaluation before booking him into county jail, Tomaiko said.

Ex-KemperSports employee arrested Deadline looming in Dave Roberts cases for alleged misuse of public funds sure to litigation” on three claims. The agenBY JOSHUA STEWART, The Carlsbad Police Department arrested Dawn Snow, 52, of Murrieta, a former employee of KemperSports, on June 23 on charges involving the misuse of public funds at The Crossings at Carlsbad, the city-owned golf course. The charges include multiple counts of burglary, grand theft and embezzlement totaling more than $595,000 during Snow’s seven-year tenure as Kemper’s controller at The Crossings golf course. Snow left her position at KemperSports in August 2014. “We take any possible misuse of public funds by a city contractor very seriously,” said Interim City Manager Kathy Dodson. “The Police Department has conducted a thorough investigation, and now the case has been turned over to the district attorney’s office for prosecution, which we will fully support.” KemperSports has handled all golf course operations and management through a competitively bid contract with the city of Carlsbad since the course opened in 2007. Kemper-Sports managers notified Carlsbad city staff in October 2014 about possible misuse of a company credit card by the former controller. After an internal investigation conducted by KemperSports, the company reported its findings, which included the possible theft of public funds, to the Carlsbad Police Department on Nov. 26, 2014. “This appears to be a case of one longterm employee who abused her company’s trust,” said Dodson. “Nonetheless, we will be conducting a thorough internal review of our management protocols to ensure city contractors are held to the very highest standards when it comes to financial controls and oversight of city funds.” Upon learning of the alleged misuse of public funds, the city of Carlsbad immediately initiated its own independent audit of
golf course finances dating to 2007. The findings from this audit were provided to the District Attorney’s Office to assist in the prosecution. KemperSports has committed to reimburse the city for all losses by the city as a result of these crimes, said Dodson. Snow was booked into the Vista Detention Facility Tuesday morning. The case will now be handled by the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office. Arraignment was scheduled for June 24 at 1:30 p.m. in Department 14 of the Vista Courthouse. — Submitted City of Carlsbad press release KemperSports CEO Steve Skinner applauded the work by the Carlsbad Police Department and the District Attorney’s office, which resulted in Snow’s arrest. Skinner issued the following statement: “During a review of accounting at The Crossings at Carlsbad, KemperSports corporate finance staff uncovered accounting irregularities that were the result of embezzlement by a previously employed staff member at the property, Dawn Snow. Consistent with company policy, the company immediately notified city staff and local law enforcement officials. In addition, the company enlisted the assistance of a third party forensic auditing firm to assist local law enforcement officials in the investigation. “KemperSports has been working closely with law enforcement, the District Attorney and the city to determine the best course of action to bring charges against Dawn Snow. We appreciate the cooperation and assistance of the city, District Attorney and police department in working with us to move swiftly towards this arrest. “KemperSports has assured the city that it would reimburse the city for any possible losses that were the result of Dawn Snow’s criminal actions.”
SPECIAL TO THE ENCINITAS ADVOCATE A deadline regarding allegations against the county and Supervisor Dave Roberts is just days away. The Board of Supervisors has until the end of Saturday to settle a claim filed by Diane Porter, Roberts’ former scheduler, or open the door to a lawsuit. Porter is asking for $250,000 in the claim she filed last month. The Board of Supervisors has 45 days since Porter filed her claim to either pay her or make an agreeable counteroffer. If supervisors reject her claim or make no decision, Porter could then file a lawsuit. The county must also make a similar decision in the coming weeks regarding claims from Roberts’ former Chief of Staff Glynnis Vaughan and former policy adviser Lindsey Masukawa. They filed claims on May 21 and June 8, respectively. The three former staffers all allege Roberts misused government resources, offered a raise and promotion to entice an employee to mislead a human resources inquiry, and had an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. Roberts denies the allegations and says he has done nothing wrong. Even if the county does not settle by the deadlines, it might still be able to stave off a lawsuit because parties can still reach an agreement after the 45-day period closes. “Settlement discussions can, and often do, extend after the 45-day window, up to and including trial — sometimes even posttrial,” county spokesman Michael Workman said in a statement. The Board of Supervisors was scheduled to meet on Tuesday in closed session with county lawyers to discuss “significant expo-
da does not say whether those are the claims by Porter, Vaughan and Masukawa. In closed session, supervisors and county lawyers typically discuss legal strategy and the possibility of making less-expensive counteroffers. Porter asked for $250,000, and Vaughan seeks $475,000. Masukawa did not say exactly how much she wants, but in legal documents she said she’s seeking in excess of $10,000. Supervisors previously decided against paying Roberts’ former staffers. Before Porter and Vaughan resigned from their jobs in April, they asked the county to approve severance packages equal to six months of their salary. For Vaughan, that was $75,000, and $29,000 for Porter. Supervisors denied their request, but later issued a rare statement. Supervisors said they decided against severance because they believe Roberts, not the county, should personally pay this expense. “The vote was made in the context of whether taxpayer money should be used to resolve issues resulting solely from the actions of one Supervisor and multiple staff members he hired and managed,” the statement said. The supervisors added that their action was not related to whether or not they believed the allegations to be true or false. Roberts had a different view of the board’s action. “You don’t give somebody severance for quitting their job when their reasons are not true,” he said in a May interview. While settlements are determined in private, state law requires that details be made public.

Cardiff 101 is latest in Encinitas to earn ‘Main Street’ designation BY JARED WHITLOCK Encinitas now has three certified California Main Street communities, a rare accomplishment. State and city officials gathered June 23 at City Hall to recognize the latest group to earn the designation: Cardiff 101 Main Street. The California Main Street Alliance awards the certification to organizations, cities or town that reinvigorate historical business districts through economic development and preservation. “It’s unusual for a city your size to have three separate designated Main Street programs,” said Laura Cole-Rowe, executive director of the California Main Street Alliance. She called it “phenomenal for Encinitas.” Cole-Rowe added that Cardiff 101 has worked hard to transform itself over the past five years into a full-fledged main street program. Cardiff is the 28th certified Main Street in California. Groups with the designation follow a four-point approach of organization, promotion, design and economic restructuring. “You have to really demonstrate buy-in from the community to receive the designation,” said Tess Radmill, executive director of Cardiff 101 Main Street a day before the event. To that end, Cardiff 101 has two staffers, Radmill and assistant director Annika
Walden, but it’s supported by a number of volunteers and businesses. Radmill said Cardiff 101’s application showed the group regularly meets with businesses in the area to help them reach their goals. And Cardiff 101 touted its major role in a recently completed master plan for the San Elijo Corridor. The document serves as a blueprint for enhancing walking, biking, traffic circulation and community character in Cardiff. Also, the application emphasized that community building events, such as Dog Days of Summer, have been growing at a steady clip, she said. The other groups with the designation: Encinitas 101 Main Street and Leucadia 101 Main Street. Radmill said having separate organizations for each of these areas is important because they’re each so different. “It speaks to the diversity of the communities,” she said. With the designation, Cardiff 101 will form closer ties with other certified California and national Main Street organizations. So it can attend more workshops, and it’s eligible for more grants. At the event, Mayor Kristin Gaspar said each of the Main Street organizations have given their communities a unique feel. “The unique feel to the areas — that’s something that’s very special about our city,” she said.

Women’s skateboarding event rolls into Encinitas Community Park BY JARED WHITLOCK The Encinitas Community Park will have its first big skateboarding event later this year. At its June 17 meeting, the Encinitas City Council unanimously approved Exposure 2015, meant to spotlight women’s skateboarding. More than 5,000 people are expected at the Nov. 7 event, which will feature a skateboarding contest for women and girls, as well as learn-to-skate clinics. After the meeting, Amelia Brodka, the founder of Exposure, said she was grateful and excited. “The design and layout of the Encinitas Community Park is a great place for the community to gather,” Brodka said, adding it’s an ideal spot to share “our empowering message.” “Each year, we are excited to give back to Encinitas by donating proceeds of our event to the Community Resource Center’s domestic violence program,” she said. Brodka created Exposure to garner more attention, cash prizes and sponsors for female riders. In her documentary “Underexposed,” she chronicled how
Hannah Chumley skates the bowl during Exposure 2014 at the Magdalena Ecke YMCA skatepark. This year’s Exposure event will take place at the Encinitas Community Park. Photo by Jared Whitlock tough it is for female skateboarders to make it professionally, given so few sponsorship opportunities. The council welcomed the event, though Deputy Mayor Catherine Blakespear said organizers and the city should “hold the line” on helmet rules during Exposure. In March, Sheriff’s deputies cited five helmetless riders at the community park, drawing criticism from skateboarders. A month earlier, the council approved an update to the city municipal code in order to make it clearer that all skateboarders must wear helmets. Exposure’s contest will have vert, street and bowl events, according to a city staff report. Also on tap: yoga clinics. Last year, Exposure was held at the Magdalena Ecke YMCA skatepark. It featured $20,000 in prize money. The 13,000-square-foot Encinitas Skate Plaza is in the 44-acre community park, at 425 Santa Fe Drive.

Jose Sinatra does it his way, bringing ‘farewell tour’ to Encinitas BY JARED WHITLOCK He tells audiences his music “turns worldwide hatred into a missile of love.” He blows kisses to the crowd. He dons tight leather pants and puffy shirts, complete with gold necklaces, oversized plastic glasses and a pencil mustache. His name is Jose Sinatra, and he spoofs lounge singers who hit the stage with big egos and syrupy love songs. He will perform at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 27 at Ducky Waddle’s Emporium, at 414 N. Coast Highway 101 in Leucadia. Sinatra has deemed this his “farewell tour,” which is merely clever marketing on his part. “I’ve seen Cher and The Who use the word ‘farewell,’” Sinatra said. “And it’s worked pretty well for them, even though they keep coming back. Literally, it’s not the last show, but if I continue to say ‘farewell,’ eventually it will be right.” Sinatra has been performing since 1982, accompanied by backing bands like the Troy Dante Quintet. “Why was it a quintet? Because he had five fingers,” Sinatra quipped. His last band, the Troy Dante Inferno, called it quits in 2007. Sinatra has flown
Jose Sinatra, also known as “The Hose,” is embarking on a “farewell tour” that he maintains will restore order to the world. Photo courtesy of Dan Chusid Photography solo since, performing a few songs at various events. But he said there hasn’t been a full Sinatra set in years, though there might have been one or two. His memory is a little spotty. Nonetheless, Sinatra added he was compelled to tour to “restore order to the world.” “Within a year of the band breaking up, the economy tanked and global warming increased, as well as terrorism, hurricanes, tsunamis and reality television. Are those coincidences? I think not.” While Sinatra is a solo act, other musicians will back
him at Ducky Waddle’s — sort of. He recently unearthed video recordings of former band members, which he said will play on a projector in the background. “I’m not just going to do karaoke. That’s cheating. But I think it’s different if it’s your own band.” Sinatra continued: “We got along great as a band 99 percent of the time. But what this guarantees — if there are any arguments in the band, I always win them.” He sings original songs and covers that he makes his own. A standard is the 1970s hit “Lovin’ You,” with a guttural scream replacing the high-pitched notes. And he does mashups. “To Sir, With a Whole Lot of Love Boat” mixes Led Zeppelin, Lulu and the TV show “Love Boat” theme song. “It’s a little complicated,” Sinatra said of the song. A North Park resident, he has brought his adult-themed act to just about every nightclub and venue in San Diego over the years. National and international audiences have gotten a taste, too. Notably, Jose Sinatra and the Troy Dante Inferno flew to Australia a decade ago for a month-long engagement at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. And Sinatra hosts the weekly “OB-o-ke” karaoke nights at Winston’s in Ocean Beach on Sunday nights. At various points of the interview, he dropped the act and answered questions as Bill Richardson, his real name. Richardson, 62, said that sometimes the lines blur between real life and Sinatra. Even offstage, he’s known to most as “The Hose,” Sinatra’s nickname. “I think only my family calls me Bill,” he said with a laugh. Richardson’s inspiration for the shtick came from lounge singers who talk to audi-
ences in breathy whispers. Wayne Newton’s stage patter was particularly influential, he said. He broke into an impression of Newton: “I just want to tell each and every person in the audience how special they are. With my music, you know, I try to touch people’s hearts. But an artist can only give so much of themselves.” His act is anything but sincere, yet he’s dead serious about hitting the right notes. “I want to sing well and sound authentic, so then people will catch themselves saying, ‘Did he just say what I think he said?’ That’s what I like about doing this,” Richardson said. The audience is almost always in on the joke after a song or two. Yet he’s ruffled the feathers of a few drunken boyfriends who were upset about Sinatra hitting on their girlfriends. His music defies easy categorization. “It combines the warm intimacy of a lounge act, with the passion and brainlessness that are usually associated with heavy metal,” Richardson said. Striking a more serious tone, Richardson said he’s slowed down with age. Heart problems led him to stop smoking and drinking alcohol about two years ago. Giving up Sinatra’s larger-than-life persona, however, is unlikely. “I still get a really big kick out of it,” he said. And at that thought, Richardson transformed back into Sinatra, describing how his fashion sense draws heavily from the 1970s film “Superfly.” “That’s style to me,” he said. “It represents the take-charge attitude of the modern male, which ‘The Hose’ embodies.”

District nutritionist asks Congress to serve up flexibility on lunch programs • Rules are now so strict that students don’t like the results, and program costs are rising, expert testifies BY KAREN BILLING School lunch restrictions have gotten tighter across the country and the San Dieguito Union High School District has complied to ensure its food is nutritious as well as appetizing to middle school and high school students. However, complying with those standards has resulted in fewer students eating those healthy school lunches and rising costs are making a mess of the meal program budget, officials say. It is frustrating to Siri Perlman, district nutrition specialist, that the district can sell a pack of sour worms candy, but they can’t sell Sabra-brand hummus packs because they are too high in fat for the regulations. The federal guidelines are well-intentioned, she said, but what school districts need is a little more flexibility. As Congress prepares to reauthorize the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 this fall, Perlman was invited by the School Nutrition Association to discuss the impact of new nutrition standards on school meal programs in two congressional staff briefings June 11 in Washington, D.C. Perlman was one of six speakers representing lunch programs throughout the country. Nutrition directors from Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Kentucky and New York joined her before Congress. The group participated in two briefings, one with the Senate Agriculture Committee staff and select staff from the Senate and House Appropriations Committee. A second meeting was with the House Education and Workforce Committee staff. “It was an amazing opportunity, and I feel so Director of Nutrition Services Rick privileged to work with people from our field and adMariam and Siri Perlman, the vocate for change in areas we feel are inconsistent district nutrition specialist. with the end goal to provide healthy, nutritious meals to students,â€? Perlman said. “We support the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, but there needs to be more flexibility to in order to be successful both financially and participation-wise.â€?

Left: Nutrition Services Assistant Corky Wilkinson shows off the healthful salad options, which include garbanzo beans and redpepper rings. Courtesy photos Snack Smart challenges Historically, San Dieguito’s reimbursable meal program has been subsidized through its a la carte food sales. With the new regulations that took effect in July 2014, a la carte revenue dropped significantly and the district anticipates a loss of $175,000 this school year. Under the federal government meal program, the district is reimbursed per full meal sold. For the meal to be reimbursable, students must take at least three of the five components offered, and one component must be a fruit or vegetable. Schools offer four menu items daily plus alternatives of a hummus pack, yogurt parfait or peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They are no longer allowed to sell the entrees from the combo meals a la carte unless they are under 400 calories and sold the day they appear on the reimbursable meal program menu, or the day after. If they’re not on the menu in that time frame, the items must be less than 350 calories with less than 35 percent calories from fat, and less than 35 percent sugar, and must meet several other restrictions. Snack food items must be less than 200 calories and meet many of the same restrictions. To meet those requirements, portion sizes have had to decrease, resulting in smaller bagels (and cream cheese or jelly are no longer allowed to be sold with them), smaller versions of the popular paninis, and four sushi rolls rather than eight (because of sodium content). Perlman said it’s hard to overcome the student customers’ perception that they are paying the same price for less. See LUNCH, page 21

‘What’s better than surfing, rock ‘n’ roll, and doing it all for charity?’ • Switchfoot Bro-Am surf contest and concert rolling in July 11 to Moonlight Beach in Encinitas BY KRISTINA HOUCK San Diego’s Switchfoot might be a Grammy-award winning band that’s sold millions of albums and toured thousands of cities around the world, but the band’s favorite time is when they give back to their hometown through the annual Switchfoot Bro-Am. “It’s the best day of the year for us,â€? said the band’s guitarist, Drew Shirley. “What’s better than surfing and rock ’n’ roll and doing it all for charity? We do it because we believe in the cause.â€? Benefiting the Switchfoot Bro-Am Foundation, the Switchfoot Bro-Am surf contest and concert is back again this year and promises to be better than ever. The July 11 lineup at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas includes Needtobreathe, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, Colony House, and of course, Switchfoot. The event typically brings more than 10,000 people to the beach. “I’ve watched it grow from this little organic surf contest and concert on the beach that we dreamed up 11 years ago, to a community event that’s embraced by not just the surfing and music community, but by everybody in San Diego,â€? said the band’s drummer, Chad Butler. “I think it’s indicative of the heart that our community has. People in San Diego know that we are so blessed to live here, and people are looking for ways to give back. This is a fun beach day that gives some really deserving causes the spotlight.â€? The annual event launched in 2005, after the band decided to do something to give back to their hometown. Over the past decade, artists such as Jason Mraz, OK Go and Chris Shiflett from the Foo Fighters have headlined the show. “We’re a rock band, we travel the world and play music, but we have a heart for our own community,â€? Shirley said. “We get to visit some really cool places around the world playing music, but we always love the feeling of coming home to San Diego,â€? added Butler, who grew up in North County like his band mates. “As kids growing up, we felt so lucky that surfing and music kept us out of trouble,â€? he said. “We looked for a way to involve our two favorite passions in one day, to do something bigger than ourselves, to do something good and rally the community together.â€? Since its inception, the Bro-Am has raised more than $1 million for San Diego-based children’s charities. Last year’s event was the most successful to date, netting $140,000 for 2014 beneficiaries. “That’s the San Diego community, and the generosity of people that have gotten behind the event,â€? Butler said. “We owe this event to the community for making it what it is today,â€? added Shirley.

Some of this year’s beneficiaries include A Step Beyond, which offers dance education, academic support and family services for underserved youth and their families, as well as Doors of Change, which provides free music lessons to homeless youth. Event proceeds will also benefit the Encinitas Youth Scholarship Program, Surf Industry Manufacturers Association and StandUp for Kids. “This is a really fun way to get involved, and raise money and resources for these orgaSee SWITCHFOOT, page 14

Noted Encinitas jazz musician wins Doris Duke Impact Award BY ROB LEDONNE When Mark Dresser, an acclaimed jazz bass player and Encinitas resident, found out he was named one of the small number of winners of this year’s Doris Duke Impact Award, he was humbled. “No, I didn’t see it coming,” said Dresser of the honor, which gives a financial boost to the tune of $80,000 to deserving artists across the nation. “At a certain point, someone anonymously nominated me to apply. So I did.” Dresser was recognized by the New York-based organization thanks to his contribution to jazz music, which has been his life’s work. “It’s gratifying,” Dresser said from his office at UCSD, where he’s been a professor since 2004. “I realize that especially in my field, this is not done alone. If my music has made an impact, it’s made its impact through the efforts of everyone involved — from my community of collaborators to the musicians that help forge my music forward.” Acclaimed jazz bass player Mark Dresser Long a familiar face in the San Diego music scene, Dresser studied in the ’70s at has been a professor at UCSD since 2004. UCSD under longtime faculty member Burt Courtesy photo. Turetzky before dropping out to join the San Diego Symphony. Throughout his life, it was his passion and talent for jazz that helped him through the ups and downs of a turbulent and sometimes chaotic industry. “There’s been moments of defeat and regrouping, but the moments of determination make it all work,” he said. “I’m very happy to receive it, since I realize that there are lots of people worthy of this award who are out there in the trenches making art and music because they have the need to do it.” In total, $1.6 million was given 20 recipients this year in three specific fields: jazz, theater, and dance. The use of the prize money is completely unrestricted, and, according to the foundation, is designed to “help artists thrive and continue to make daring work in the face of the financial challenges.” Said Dresser, “These organizations take it upon themselves to help artists make the best of it and be more entrepreneurial and wise about money.” The moment he was notified he was one of 20 chosen for the honor came completely out of the blue. “I got a congratulatory phone call from people on the staff, which was just lovely,” he said, remembering that they noted one caveat. “They said how important it was not to reveal I won the award until the right time.” As for how the award will help Dresser and his craft, he joked that the “national recognition doesn’t hurt, so that should help push things along.” Noting the influence UCSD had on his life, Dresser also spoke highly of the school. “As part of the faculty, I’ve been able to develop here as well. So not only is it a win for me, but it’s a win for everybody involved in my life.”
Filmmaker to speak June 27 at ‘Trace Amounts’ screening at La Paloma Writer, director and producer Eric Gladen will be speaking in a panel discussion following a screening of “Trace Amounts,” his recently released documentary film. The movie is open to the public and will be shown at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 27, at the La Paloma Theater in Encinitas. Tickets will be available at the door. Gladen was inspired to create his movie after he sustained a severe laceration after which he had to go to the ER, where he was treated with a tetanus shot. The movie outlines his life from that episode on, his journey to recovery, as well as the science, evidence and historically significant actions pertaining to pharmaceutical products. Besides director Gladen, “Trace Amounts” features co-director Shiloh Levine, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., author, “Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak,” Dr. Bob Sears, Orange Countybased pediatrician and author of “The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child,” and Los Angeles based pediatrician Dr. Jay Gordon, author, “Preventing Autism.” The panel discussion and question-and-answer session after the screening will include local medical professionals, teachers, scientists and attorneys. The movie and current legislation measures that are being considered in California will be discussed. The La Paloma Theater is at 471 S. Coast Highway, Encinitas.

A Fresh Look on Finances with Aubrey Morrow CFP®
Are You Financially Organized? OK, this question conjures up a number of images and questions. The initial answer is, “I don’t know. I’m not sure…what is being financially organized anyway?” If the question were asked, “Would you like to be physically fit?” We know the answer. Let’s explore what being financially organized is all about. It’s all about your assets – how they are created and how they are protected. Everyone wants to have more money, create wealth and be happy. It’s just not easy. We have busy lives with family and work – and time just slips by each day and many times our financial dreams start fading away just like those New Year’s resolutions we make each year. Let’s reduce the question to some financial basis: Your Investments: Do your investments match the stage of your life? Younger can be more aggressive – in or nearing retirement more conservative. Are your investments structured for income or growth? Are your investments diversified with cash, stocks, bonds, real estate and alternatives? Do your investments cause you to pay excessive taxes? Retirement: Are you taking advantage of all the plans available? You should. When do you plan on retiring? How much income will you need to enjoy it? What will be the source of your income? Years ago, I taught classes at a local university and had a student ask, “Mr. Morrow, when should I start planning my retirement?” My answer was “now.” Think about it. Income Taxes: Check your most recent Federal & California income tax returns to see how much you paid last year. Federal is Form 1040 (see line 63) and CA is form 540 (see line 64). Total and divide by 12 to see what you paid, on average, each month last year. Have your Kleenex box nearby. Proper planning might save taxes. Taxes aren’t taxes… taxes are dollars. Risk Management (Insurance): Are you properly insured for life insurance, disability, health, long-term care, auto, homeowners, casualty, Umbrella? Best time to know is before it’s needed. Estate Planning: When was the last time you reviewed your wills, trusts, powers of attorney for health and legal? Debt: Do you have debt? Check the rates as interest rates are historically low. Do you have good or bad debt? Should you pay off debt or have a mortgage? Everyone should strive to be financially organized. It just makes good financial sense. If you would like to learn more and how to get started in getting financially organized, visit www.MoneyTalkRadio. com website. We can provide a 10-page booklet, Are You Financially Organized? and an Initial Planning Guide. It’s time you take control of your financial life.

He is a Registered Representative offering securities and advisory services through Independent Financial Group, LLC, member FINRA and SIPC. FDL and IFG are not affiliated entities.

Here comes the sun: Leichtag Foundation land goes all in on solar energy The Leichtag Foundation is growing food and harvesting sunshine. The Leichtag Foundation property in Encinitas has installed a solar photovoltaic system to provide 100 percent of the energy required for the operations of Leichtag Foundation and its developing farm. “Energy, how we make it and how we use it, is changing,” said Jim Farley, president and CEO of Leichtag Foundation. “We understand the inseparable linkages between land, water, energy, and healthy nutritious food.” The solar PV system was inOne of the free elecstalled by Stellar tric-car charging staSolar, one of the tions at Leichtag area’s most experiFoundation. enced solar installation companies, based in Carlsbad. “It’s a privilege to be partnering on this project with Leichtag Foundation, which is gaining a reputation as one of the region’s most progressive energy innovators for agriculture,” said Kent Harle, Stellar Solar founding partner and president. This is the first solar PV project in San Diego County to aggregate several meters for
an agricultural use under a new ruling by the California Public Utilities Commission. This is also the first solar PV project in Encinitas to include free electric vehicle workplace charging for employees and guests, too. Three electric vehicle chargers will be installed and three more can be installed at a later date. Employees and guests will be able to charge their electric cars for free, thus encouraging the transition to lower or zero-emission transportation choices. This project was led by Peder Norby, consultant to Leichtag Foundation on matters of energy and water, and its vineyard. Norby is also on the San Diego County Planning Commission and consultant to the city of Carlsbad. According to the City of Encinitas Climate Action Plan, 70 percent of Encinitas emissions are from transportation choices, 15 percent from residential and 11 percent from commercial and industrial. With the transition to solar, Leichtag Foundation will have emissions reduction of 48,000 pounds of CO2 annually (not including emission reductions from vehicles). In addition, solar PV will provide significant economic savings of more than $500,000 during the system’s lifetime. One of the Leichtag Foundation’s strategic areas is building connections between San Diego and Israel through engagement, relationship building, and interest alignment. Israeli technologies are leading efforts around water and energy: IDE Technologies,

OBITUARIES
Charles “Chips” Dreilinger 1945 – 2015 Charles “Chips” Dreilinger, Dean of UCSD’s Muir College for 23 years, rarely missed a Muir College student event. Originally recruited to work within the constraints of the University of California to develop a campus culture having the “qualities of student life and learning found among small liberal arts colleges,” he was dedicated to helping students engage and connect. Late hours never discouraged him. A man of keen wit, intelligence and compassion, he touched the lives of thousands of
students and introduced ongoing traditions including Muirstock, the Unolympics and the Muir Musical. Large groups of students were invited into Chips’ and his wife Anna’s home for annual homemade pizza parties and to their mountain cabin for apple pie after the quarterly Muir College highway cleanup in Cuyamaca State Park. An avid horticulturist, Chips enjoyed cultivating a variety of succulents, cycads, cacti and other unusual species of plant life, expanding his collection when he retired in 2002. A beautiful succulent garden he helped create can be visited just east of the Muir College dining hall. Chips, who died peacefully at home in Encinitas, California on May 25, was a loving and dedicated husband, father and grandfather. He leaves behind his wife Anna (Douglas) of 50 years, sons Sean, Daniel and Seth, daughters- in-law Rachel and Allison, grandchildren
Nick, Sequoia, Olivia and Flynn, his mother Harriet, brothers Douglas, Peter and Evan, many cousins, nephews and nieces and hundreds of exotic plants. Chips was predeceased by his faithful companion Jed, a Lab-Golden service dog. Chips was born in 1945 in Brooklyn, New York, to Samuel and Harriet (Kaplan) Dreilinger. He grew up in Cedarhurst, NY, graduated from Lawrence High School, and was educated at Antioch College and Claremont Graduate School. Prior to being recruited to John Muir College at UCSD, he served in various administrative positions at Antioch and as Associate Dean and Acting Dean of Students at Hobart College in Geneva, NY. In lieu of flowers the family suggests a donation in remembrance of Chips to Paws’itive Teams (www. pawsteams.org) - a local organization that trains and places service dogs and where Chips was matched with Jed.

nizations, but also awareness in the community,” Butler said. Because the event is free, most of the funds will be raised three days earlier, during the annual auction night soiree at a private Olivenhain estate. The evening will feature a live performance by Switchfoot, silent and live auctions, opportunity drawings, and food and drinks. “It’s really a fun gathering of the community,” Butler said. “It’s just an incredible evening.” As in recent years, this year’s surf contest and concert will be streamed online, allowing viewers around the world to tune in and catch the Bro-Am action live. For the first time in Bro-Am history, however, an online auction will allow fans to bid for unique items. The online auction will run June 28 to July 11. “There’s a chance for people all over the country and around the world to get involved, donate and bid on some really cool packages,” Butler said. Tickets to the auction night soiree cost $185. VIP tickets cost $260 and include a meet and greet reception with Switchfoot. The surf contest will take place 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. July 11 at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas. The concert will run from noon to 5 p.m. A free shuttle will be available from San Dieguito Academy. Parking is also available at Encinitas City Hall. For information, visit www.switchfoot.com/bro-am.

Betty’s Pie Whole Saloon makes the rounds from sweet to savory BY KELLEY CARLSON For the past 1 1/2 years, Betty’s Pie Whole Saloon has been offering up a slice of Americana to local residents. The bakery is owned by Betty Hunt (née Elizabeth Harris), who describes herself as a “pie-wrangling, karaoke-singing Southern lady.” It’s the “naughty” sister of another popular Encinitas bake shop, Elizabethan Desserts. But like many siblings, the two are as different as night and day: While Elizabethan has a classic, “girly” ambience, Betty’s is cheeky and has a rustic theme, complete with swinging saloon-style doors. Betty’s may also soon start drawing lively evening crowds, as Hunt said she hopes to put the restaurant’s outdoor stage to good use with live entertainment or karaoke. What truly sets Betty’s apart from other eateries is its focus on pies. These consist of buttery crusts made from scratch, filled with savory and sweet ingredients that are sourced as locally as possible. And there’s no ordering by the slice (hence the name “Betty’s Pie Whole”) — customers either order individual-portion pies or 9-inch delights to share with friends and family. Some of these pies can serve as meals, stuffed with meats (poultry products only), vegetables and cheeses. To kick-start the day, patrons can feast on Boyd’s Break-the-Fast Pie —named for Hunt’s brother — with eggs, potato, turkey bacon, smoked poultry sausage and cheese in a biscuit crust. For a midday or evening course, there’s selections such as the Mama Jo’s Meatball Pot Pie and the Get-Along-Kielbasy, and a Mac ’n’ Cheese Pie that “you can stuff your feelings with,” Hunt said. But Betty’s signature is Grandma Lucy’s Chicken Pie. Guests can catch whiffs of the parmesan herb pastry before it’s even placed on the table. As they cut through the flaky crust, juices erupt through the surface. And each forkful is chock-full of free-range chick-
en, diced baby carrots and zucchini, and peas. Of course, Betty’s has its sweet pies, too. Varieties include Apple Crumbly, Apple Lattice and Strawberry Rhubarb Lattice. Chocoholics can satisfy cravings with the gooey Mississippi Mud Pie, featuring a crumbly chocolate crust replete with layers of chocolate pudding and whipped cream, drizzled with chocolate, and dotted with mini marshmallows. Customers can further enhance it with freshly churned homemade vanilla ice cream. Betty’s also has specialty pies throughout the year, including a hearty Thanksgiving Pie with roasted turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, a buttermilk sage biscuit crust and cranberry chipotle sauce on the side. It can be ordered with five days’ notice. In addition, Betty’s has themed pie nights: Spaghetti and Meatball Pie Monday, Tamale Tuesday and Turkey Burger Wednesday. While Betty’s primarily caters to pie lovers, there are a few other food options, including Hunt’s Chicken Chipotle Chili, and dips such as the smoky Gold Rush Cheddar Beer Dip, perfect with Triscuits and other party “poppers.” Among the “sips” is the refreshing Southern Peach Sweet Tea, presented in a mason jar. Customers can also buy tubs of homemade Sweet Betty’s Butter in flavors such as maple, honey and cinnamon. Betty’s Pie Whole Saloon, at 155 Quail Gardens Drive, is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday.

Filling Doug Perkins’ shoes
Integrated pest management the way to go
BY MARSHA SUTTON “Former Del Mar Union School District trustee Doug Perkins has resigned his position on the San Diego County Board of Education, after suffering a massive hemorrhagic stroke in February.” That opening sentence Marsha Sutton in reporter Karen Billing’s story in this newspaper last week is heartbreaking. According to his wife, Perkins is making progress in his recovery. Nevertheless, she wrote in her online journal that she made the difficult decision to resign him from his District 5 seat on the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) board, effective June 8. Perkins, who served for seven years on the Del Mar Union School District board, won his SDCOE seat in 2014 after a hardfought campaign against an opponent endorsed by the American Federation of Teachers and supported by AFT money. Perkins’ improbable win was a resounding defeat for the union-backed candidate, and represented a victory for those voters who rejected questionable campaign tactics and instead chose to support a candidate whose track record was one of strong fiscal oversight, fairness and nonpartisan decision-making in the best interests of students. The resignation means the District 5 seat is open, and applications are now being accepted. Applicants must reside within District 5 (which stretches from Del Mar, east to part of Poway, and north to Fallbrook) and must submit applications by noon July 1. County board members will interview candidates and appoint a new trustee at their July 8 meeting. If trustees do not appoint someone 45 days from the day Perkins resigned, which would be July 23, the county Board of Supervisors will make the appointment. Here’s where this gets interesting. Lyn Neylon, SDCOE board member from District 2, also resigned, effective June 30. So the five-member board will be down to three members who will appoint Perkins’ replacement. The appointment to replace Neylon will come a few weeks later. We already know who one applicant will be for Perkins’ seat: Neylon herself. “It’s my intention to throw my hat in for District 5 because I’m moving back to North County,” Neylon announced at the June 10 SDCOE board meeting. Her resignation letter is effective June 30, and the deadline to submit an application for Perkins’ seat is noon July 1. Tricky timing. The issue of residency Peg Marks, SDCOE legal services analyst, spoke to board members at the June 10 meeting, advising them on the proper procedure for the appointments. She noted the following details: •Vacancies on the SDCOE board must be filled by appointment. There is no option for an election, unlike for school districts. •Rules regarding the filling of vacancies for the county board of education are governed by the San Diego County Charter and not by California Education Code. •The applicant interviews, board discussion and appointment are subject to the Brown Act and must be public. The applicable government code (section 240-245) states the following rules for
establishing residency: •It is the place where one remains when not called elsewhere for labor or other special or temporary purpose, and to which he or she returns in seasons of repose. •There can only be one residence. •A residence cannot be lost until another is gained. Music Watson, SDCOE’s chief communications officer, said it’s not a requirement to have lived in the district for a prescribed period of time, although board members may choose to take that factor into consideration when appointing Perkins’ replacement. A candidate must, however, live in the district at the time the application is submitted. Neylon declined to discuss her intention to run for the open seat in District 5 or the timeline for her move. “At this time, I’d prefer not to comment,” Neylon said in an email. “Almost everything the SDCOE board does is out in public, and I have no wish to supersede the board as it goes through this process by speaking to the media about my personal choices.” As of the June 10 board meeting, she still resided in District 2 and was the District 2 representative on the county board. As of press time, no candidate has applied to fill Perkins’ seat — only Neylon has publicly stated intentions to do so. Increased monthly stipend The San Diego County Office of Education provides services for the county’s 42 school districts, 119 charter schools and five community college districts. This includes 774 schools and about 504,000 students, including more than 11,000 children educated each year through SDCOE’s Juvenile Court and Community Schools. County Schools Superintendent Randolph Ward was hired in 2006, replacing former Superintendent Rudy Castruita who served from 1994 to 2006. To see a map of the five SDCOE districts and read trustee bios, see: http://www.sdcoe. net/Board/pages/board-members.aspx. The application to fill the vacancy in District 5 can be found here: http://www.sdcoe.net/Board/Pages/board-vacancies.aspx. The appointee will not serve the full four years of Perkins’ term, which expires in January 2019. Rather, he or she will serve until the next general election in 2016. At that time, voters will elect someone to fill the two years remaining in the term. Then another election will be held in 2018 to select someone to serve a full four-year term. As an aside, board members recently voted to increase their monthly stipend 5 percent, and gave themselves a raise effective July 1, 2015, to $536.03 per month. The last raise they approved — again, 5 percent — was last July 1, 2014. An annual 5 percent increase seems to be the trend. Board members also receive a generous benefits package. Basic Aid districts Neylon appears to be an intelligent, dedicated, energized trustee who might very well be an excellent District 5 board member. Still, it’s reasonable to question her qualifications to fulfill the needs of District 5. According to Neylon’s bio on the SDCOE website, she grew up and lives in the South Bay area. Her school districts in District 2 include Sweetwater, South Bay, Chula Vista, National City and San Ysidro — the communities at the southernmost edge of See EDUCATION, page 21
A special thanks to the Encinitas Advocate for highlighting the Council’s decision to pursue a strict Integrated Pest Management (IPM) policy on City-owned properties, develop a pilot for a pesticide-free park and educate the community about safe alternatives to pesticides. Many locally are already involved in the IPM movement which recognizes that pesticides should be used sparingly, as a last resort. The Encinitas Union School District, San Diego Botanical Gardens and the Leichtag Foundation’s farm all successfully operate under such a policy. The City’s desire to strengthen their approach to IPM speaks to our increasing knowledge of the harms that pesticides have on our health – not to mention the health of our environment. As a mother, my research has focused on children and prenatal exposure. However, as a previous educator for the Parkinson’s Association, I am aware of the strong link between pesticides and Parkinson’s as well as cancer and other “adult” ailments. The American Academy of Pediatrics issued a statement in 2012 saying that children’s exposure to pesticides should be reduced because research has found associations between early life exposure and pediatric cancers, decreased cognitive function and behavioral problems. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that children are at a greater risk from exposure because their organs are still developing and their systems may not provide adequate protection. Also, their behaviors increase their chances of exposure (e.g. playing on the grass where pesticides are commonly applied, putting objects in their mouths). According to the EPA, effects of exposure range from dizziness and nausea to serious, long-term neurological, developmental and reproductive disorders. In 2014, a study published by University of California, Davis, showed a link between residential proximity to agricultural* pesticide applications during pregnancy and autism. Results regarding organophosphates showed a 60 percent increased risk in having a child diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. Results regarding pyrethroids, a class of pesticides considered safer than organophosphates and commonly used in home pest control, showed an even greater risk. *Agricultural applications include those at parks, golf courses, right-of-ways, etc. Clearly, the City is taking the right steps to keep its citizens safe by ensuring its IPM program is implemented to its fullest potential, piloting a pesticide-free park and sharing safe alternatives with the community.

Local school hosts benefit concert on Encinitas farm The Village Backyard Benefit Concert, featuring Caravan la Vie (members of Todo Mundo), Paul Cannon, Urban Grass, and Fast Heart Mart, was held June 13 at Farmer Leo’s in Encinitas. The event was held to raise funds for the Village Farm School, a local nonprofit, progressive co-op farm school where “children spend time learning in the classroom, on local farms, and being of service in the community.” Katie Brillault and Jack Cooper with The money raised at the event Odom and Cecilia goes to expand the school’s “current campus so they can serve even more families in their growing school. They also hope to work to develop a more robust farm program at their campus where they can bus in underserved children from all over San Diego for farm days, spreading the healing and empowering benefits of getting your hands in the dirt and growing your own food with youth who might not otherwise get to experience it.” In addition to local musicians performing, the event featured conscious food trucks, acro-yoga, children’s cirque performances, and a “unique assortment of raffle prizes and handmade merchandise.” For more information, visit Entertainers www.villagefarmschool.com.

LIFEGUARD • An extra two hours of coverage for “north tower,” as well as a person to cover lifeguard breaks and emergency calls. During the other three seasons, it will cost $78,969 annually for additional parttime staffing. That includes extra coverage at Swami’s Beach, which was previously unstaffed during weekends from October through April. Giles said this is a response to summer-level crowds now hitting local beaches year-round. “When it’s busy and we’re short-staffed, we can only be reactive,” he said. “We want to be out there making contacts and educating people, if the surf conditions are dangerous, as an example.” Various projects have made local beaches a magnet for visitors, Giles said. He cited a 2013 revamp of Moonlight Beach that saw a new concession building and restrooms. And sand replenishment projects over the past two decades widened local beaches, he added.

Michael Grove, associate superintendent of educational services, said the district received 2,175 responses from their survey on enrollment, a 10 percent response rate. His summer reading assignment includes going through all of those surveys to ensure the board has all of the information needed to make a decision. The survey input will be paired with input from the six public meetings that were held. With the district’s current enrollment practice, San Dieguito and CCA are open boundary schools. If more students select the school than there are available seats, the district decides who gets in through a random lottery. No preference is given to proximity. Residents of West Encinitas, Leucadia and Cardiff by the Sea, surrounding San Dieguito Academy, have been gathering signatures over the past month on an online petition to get the district to change the open enrollment policy to ensure that students can attend their neighborhood school.
BUDGET Encinitas Capt. Larry Giles scans the shoreline from the Moonlight Beach lifeguard tower. Lifeguard coverage was expanded to keep up with more people visiting local beaches. Photo by Jared Whitlock the beachgoer increase: more special events and added surf PE classes. City stats show 837,061 people came to Moonlight Beach in 2014, up from 543,290 in 2013. Katherine Weldon, the city’s shoreline preservation manager, said people are counted via heat sensor equipment. Additional money for the city’s lifeguard program competed against a multitude of other projects and staffing requests during the budget process. Councilwoman Lisa Shaffer this week said the council recognized the need without much discussion. She added lifeguards were due for a staffing increase, since more people are coming to Encinitas’ beaches. “Those lifeguards are the first line of human safety and education,” Shaffer said.

mals trucked to pet stores across San Diego County come from puppy mills as far as 2,000 miles away. They’re not properly cared for during the journey, she added. Dale Bartlett, from the Humane Society of the United States, said the pet industry is taking notice of cities’ anti-puppy mill ordinances, and that’s going to improve how dogs are treated and acquired. Greg LaFave, the sole speaker against the ban, said puppy mills are a problem, yet added an ordinance isn’t necessary. “There is a reason Encinitas doesn’t have a puppy mill ordinance,” LaFave said. “It’s because the problem is not here.” Councilmembers said they received hundreds of emails asking them to adopt the ban. Councilman Tony Kranz, who initiated the agenda item, urged the public speakers to also advocate for anti-puppy mill legislation at the state and federal level. He noted that former state Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2009 vetoed AB 241, which was aimed at curbing puppy mills. AB 241 would have forbid individuals or businesses in the pet breeding market from owning more than 50 unsterilized dogs and cats. Schwarzenegger said the legislation was an arbitrary cap and could penalize reputable breeders. Mayor Kristin Gaspar said she typically
favors education over bans, though not in this case. She added education alone won’t change the puppy mill business model. Encinitas city staff recommended that the council wait to pass the ordinance until lawsuits challenging anti-puppy mill legislation are resolved. Notably, a store called Puppies ’N Love filed a federal lawsuit after Phoenix, Ariz., prohibited the sale of commercially bred cats and dogs, according to the staff report. Although in Arizona, a ruling could be binding locally, since Encinitas is in the Ninth Circuit court’s jurisdiction. Councilwoman Lisa Shaffer said the risk of the Arizona lawsuit is negligible. “Whenever the court rules, however they rule, we will take their ruling into consideration,” Shaffer said. “If we have to make adjustments to our ordinance we can consider what adjustments have to be made at that time.” Encinitas’ ban follows similar legislation in Oceanside, Chula Vista and the city of San Diego. Four Encinitas businesses offer rescue dogs and cats for adoption: Petco, PetSmart, Pet Haus and Rancho Coastal Humane Society. The vote in favor of the ordinance was 4-0. Councilman Mark Muir was absent from the meeting.

Superintendent Rick Schmitt reiterated that the new position and salary increase is cost- neutral because of the re-organization of the educational services department, which results in one less position and a $35,000 savings to the taxpayers. Viloria’s salary will increase from $144,772 to $162,265 as he moves to the new position. Muir maintained that she does not believe it to be cost-neutral. The Local Control Accountability Plan, a requirement of all school districts as a result of the Local Control Funding Formula, accounts for how the district will spend allocated funding from the state for the next three years. The plan must describe the annual goals for students and call out details for students designated as the most at-risk in California, such as low-income Englishlearners and foster youth. The Local Control Funding Formula funding comes in base and supplemental formats. The base grant is the per-pupil amount; the supplemental grant is additional funding for those three groups. San Dieguito’s 2014-15 target for supplemental expenditures was about $950,000 and in the 2015-16 school year, the amount has grown to $1.6 million. Supplemental funding will be used to provide increased support for English learners, intervention courses for those performing below grade level, college readiness courses, professional development for teachers on strategies to support English learners, and increasing course access for all
FINE
students. Superintendent Rick Schmitt said that the LCAP is the culmination of a year’s worth of work by Viloria, including surveys and meetings with various community groups. Manny Aguilar, president and board chairman of one such group, the La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation, addressed the board about the LCAP. The community Aguilar represents in Solana Beach recently underwent an assessment in partnership with the National Latino Research Center at Cal State San Marcos, which determined that education was the No. 1 priority for the residents. Aguilar said he wanted to ensure that his community continues to have the opportunity to provide input for the district. He said parents have concerns about their children’s transportation to school and low graduation rates. He said they want a parent center, creation and implementation of effective communication strategies, and potentially, a community liaison funded with state money — “the Spanish-speaking element, that’s what’s missing right now.” “I think there are a lot of opportunities to figure it out,” Aguilar said. “The community really does want to be a part of the solution.” Schmitt said that Viloria would continue to work with stakeholder groups like Aguilar’s and work on incorporating suggestions.

The settlement states the city will pay $206,393 toward a habitat restoration project at the San Elijo Lagoon, which the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy will oversee. Clemente said the habitat restoration project “reflects the keen interest in the health of the San Elijo Lagoon and coastal waters of the community.” Negotiations are ongoing between the city and USS Cal Builders over how much of the remaining $224,458 the contractor must pay. Those funds will be deposited in the California Water Pollution Cleanup and Abatement program, which provides public agencies and nonprofits with funds to combat pollution when there are no responsible parties available to do the work. “It’s not clear yet how much was the city’s responsibility and how much was the contractor for not doing what they’re supposed to do,” Councilwoman Lisa Shaffer said this week of the violations. Given the violations, Shaffer said the city should ensure city contracts are comprehensive — and that they’re followed. “We ask our staff to look at what happened and to see what they can learn from it, and I think they have taken it very seriously,” she said. Shaffer also said she wished the violations hadn’t occurred, but at least a portion of funds will go to the San Elijo Lagoon restoration. The San Elijo Lagoon is designated as a natural preserve, along with an impaired water body because of excess sediment and silt causing damage to salt marshes there. Excess sediment can result in flooding and damage local ecosystems, according to a news release from the Water Board on the settlement. Abnormally high levels can smother aquatic animals and habitats, as well as hinder the ability of organisms to breathe, find food and reproduce. And sediment can carry metals, pesticides and other organic chemicals downstream. A state construction stormwater permit and the Water Board’s municipal stormwater permit require sediment management during construction to avoid these types of discharges, the release also states. The maximum penalty for the violations was $2.7 million.

LUNCH
continued from page 8
Food costs have increased because of the ingredient requirements. As a dietitian, Perlman loves that they are serving wholewheat lavash bread, brown rice sushi and fresh fruit, but those items do cost more. Unfortunately, the price increases have been passed on to the consumer. Just last month, the board approved increasing school lunch prices from $3.75 to $4.25, the first price increase in seven years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The feedback we hear from some students are that the prices are too expensive,â&#x20AC;? Perlman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;High schoolers can go offcampus at lunch, so at schools like San Dieguito, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a mass exodus at lunch. Imagine us trying to provide a Greek salad or a whole grain burrito with barbacoa, and students are going off getting a Frappuccino.â&#x20AC;? At San Dieguito, students flock to the convenience store down the road on Santa Fe Drive, where they have had to institute rules of no more than 10 students in the store at a time because of the lunchtime rush. Across from Canyon Crest Academy, students can now walk to the growing Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, where lines at Starbucks now stretch out the door onto the sidewalk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting healthier, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re losing our students to those places,â&#x20AC;? Perlman said. She said the intent of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act is admirable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but the unintended consequence is that it renders their program financially unsustainable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we lose our customer base and prices go up, how can you sustain that?â&#x20AC;? Perlman asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And how would the community feel if we have to dip into the general fund?â&#x20AC;? Making health teen-friendly For their part, Perlman is proud of how innovative the district has been to come up with ways to meet the regulations and keep the food exciting for students. The regulations mandate that 100 percent of grains served are are 50 percent whole grain, so the district has worked hard with its bakery to develop a whole grain-rich sourdough bread that students like. They are looking to find a macaroni and cheese dish with whole grain noodles and low-sodium and low-fat cheese sauce that students will like.
The schools are also no longer allowed to sell Gatorade, which Perlman said they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too sad to see go, although that has caused a major hit in their revenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new Smart Snacks regulations have not had the intended effect in our district,â&#x20AC;? Perlman says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many students are upset that healthy reimbursable meal entrees can no longer be sold a la carte, and that some popular options like hummus and pretzels are off the menu. With a la carte choices so limited, many students go off campus for fast food, soda and sugary snacks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Allowing reimbursable entrees to be sold a la carte every day would provide students with a larger variety of nutritious choices and help to restore our financial solvency. Food is only nutritious if they eat it.â&#x20AC;? The business of nutrition Perlman, a registered dietitian, has been working in wellness for 10 years. Before joining the district two years ago, she served as the coordinator of nutrition education and PE programs in the Lawndale Elementary School District. At Lawndale, she was the site coordinator for the Network for Healthy California for five years and the Physical Education Program grant for two years. Perlman is also president of Chapter 34 of the California School Nutrition Association, which has re-established last September after having been dormant for 10 years. Her invitation to visit Congress was unexpected. Rick Mariam, the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of nutrition services, had been interviewed for an article in the Los Angeles Times. But his thoughts were not included in the resulting article, and Perlman took issue with the fact that their concerns were lumped into being portrayed as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;lunch lady lobby.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be characterized as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lunch lady lobbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and not nutrition advocates was very frustrating,â&#x20AC;? Perlman said. She wrote a letter to the editor, and a firm working with the School Nutrition Association reached out to her about joining SNA members in expressing her concerns to Congress. As Perlman said, SDUHSDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nutrition program runs like a small business â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it has to make money to pay for its operating costs and avoid dipping into reserves or the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general fund.
EDUCATION
The chicken Caesar wrap on wholewheat lavash is a top seller, and they serve unique sides like roasted garbanzo beans. The district also worked with students as they developed a pupusa, an El Salvadoran dish. Students helped rename it the more teen-palatable â&#x20AC;&#x153;stuffed bean and cheese quesadilla,â&#x20AC;? and they advertise it on campus with posters touting the house-made curtido slaw that tops it. Many of the food items are prepared at the central kitchen at Canyon Crest, then trucked to the sites. The other items are made in individual school kitchens. Perlman said her kitchen staff takes pride in their work and are always interested to see how the students like what they make. They carefully layer the granola in the yogurt parfaits, hand-roll the burritos and stack the turkey sandwiches just so. A lot of labor goes into all these new items â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but unless they get student buy-in, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a loss and they have to be pulled from the menu. Besides lunch service lines, each high school has its own school eatery: At La Costa, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Calf-A, San Dieguito has the Mosaic CafĂŠ, Torrey Pines has the Corner CafĂŠ and Canyon Crest has The Nest. The district has
tried to keep the cafĂŠ environments fun and inviting, and students take ownership by running the cafes through Regional Occupational Program business classes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With limited staff and funding, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing the best we can to get buy-in for all of the healthy choices,â&#x20AC;? Perlman said. The tweaks Perlman advocated in Washington were to allow a la carte items to be sold at any time, for the initial requirement of 50 percent whole grains (instead of 100 percent) to be restored, and to increase the per meal reimbursement by 35 cents because the full meal reimbursements are not covering their costs. She said if they can get help in those areas, it would go a long way toward recovering lost participation and allow them to remain fiscally solvent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As someone who only now is getting involved with our national organization, I was so impressed with the professionalism but down-to-earth nature of the SNA staff, and meeting and working with all the representatives from other states,â&#x20AC;? Perlman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt really good about our field and all the positive work that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. It inspired me and reinforced the work Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing at San Dieguito.â&#x20AC;?

San Diego County. Can a new resident of District 5 have the necessary depth of understanding of the unique needs of the North County coastal school communities in District 5, many of which are classified as Basic Aid? Because they are financed mainly through local property taxes rather than the state, Basic Aid districts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff, Rancho Santa Fe, San Dieguito, among others â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are funded entirely differently than any of the school districts in District 2. And this matters a great deal. The concerns are different, the needs are different, the demographics are different. Not better and not worse â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just fundamentally different than the non-Basic Aid school districts. Board members with two yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience may understand how SDCOE operates, but without the in-depth knowledge of the local school communities they will be representing, is that board experience enough? The second concern is that Neylon, according to reports in the San Diego Union-Tribune, won her seat in 2012 with heavy backing from the American Federation of Teachers. By choosing Perkins in 2014, voters in District 5 rejected Perkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opponent, who was also supported by the AFT. The San Diego Union- Tribune noted that the other three SDCOE trustees, the three who will choose Perkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; replacement, are all backed by the same teachers union.
Perkins was alone among the five SDCOE board members, the only one not AFT-endorsed. In picking a successor to Perkins, will board members consider that voters in District 5 chose a non-AFT candidate in 2014 to represent them? Or will the board feel an unspoken obligation to support Neylon, as a fellow AFTbacked trustee, for District 5, and simply shuffle the seating arrangement in the boardroom? Tragic loss There are so many reasons why Perkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stroke is tragic; the loss of his presence on the county board of education is one of them. He would have been a wonderful addition to the board, and the public has been denied the benefit of his intelligence, passion, wisdom and charm. Hopefully, the remaining three county board members will have a number of highly qualified candidates applying to fill the seat, and one hopes they choose someone aligned with the positions and issues that were important to Perkins â&#x20AC;&#x201D; issues apparently important to voters as well. Perkins cannot really be replaced on the board; the most that can happen is that board members fill the vacancy. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope they do this in a way that best honors Doug and all he gave to his community as a devoted public servant. Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.co
