Andrew Hewitt is leading the charge to bring more “forbenefit” businesses to Encinitas. Entrepreneurs met July 2 at the Leichtag Foundation property to talk about Encinitas being a model for these companies. Leaders during a recent summit called Growing the Impact Economy — convened by the White House, Stanford University and others — identified Encinitas as a potential pilot community in the for-benefit sector, accord-
ing to meeting organizers. If selected, Encinitas would be eligible for federal support, and local for-benefit businesses could tap into national networks of investors. “You walk in the streets, you see the venues, you meet the people, and there’s just something in the air here about moving toward a more sustainable way of organizing the economy and society,” said Heerad Sabeti, an organizer with Growing the Impact Economy who visited Encinitas last week to gauge the city’s potential in the for-benefit sector. Sabeti, also an entrepreneur and adviser to the Center for International Business Education, said companies are increasingly taking up social causes, nonprofits are developing sustainable business models and governments are embracing market-driven approaches. With lines blurring, what’s emerged is for-benefit businesses, also called the “fourth sector,” he added. Sabeti said tax laws are changing to encourage the fourth sector, but in some ways it’s still “the Wild West.” In a fourth-sector milestone, Patagonia was the first registered benefit corporation in 2012. That means Patagonia, which has a store in Cardiff, rewrote its bylaws to include tangible social and environmenSee BUSINESS, page 16
Switchfoot turns up volume with Encinitas studio for youth BY JARED WHITLOCK In 1986, then-teenager Chad Butler frequently banged on his drum kit inside his Carlsbad garage. The noise didn’t sit well with neighbors, who would pound on the garage door to get him to stop. “I’d have my headphones on and wouldn’t notice, so finally my mom would come in and say, ‘The neighbors are pounding on the garage door,’” said Butler, who is the drummer of the alternative rock band Switchfoot. Butler said his story is but one example of how kids in the area often don’t have a place to jam. That’s one of the reasons Switchfoot started Bro-Am Studios. The nonprofit music school for youth is opening this weekend in downtown Encinitas, at 1057 S. Coast Highway 101. “It’s hard to get good at playing electric guitar, un-
less you’re able to turn it up,” said Butler, who resides in Encinitas. “It’s hard to progress as a drummer if you can’t hit the drums.” Instructors handpicked by the band will offer piano, guitar and other instrument lessons for ages 8 to 18 Monday through Thursday. The space includes a roughly 800-foot room for group lessons, complete with a stage for bands to practice and perform. Across a small courtyard, a room about half the size is for one-onone instruction. Outdoor showers were even installed, so band members can shower after surfing local breaks. Butler said the space is a natural extension of the Switchfoot Bro-Am surf contest and concert, happening July 11 at Moonlight Beach. The multiplatinum band launched the event in 2005, primarily to benefit homeSee STUDIO, page 16

BY JARED WHITLOCK Once the self-proclaimed Flower Capital of the World, Encinitas is attracting a new crop of companies. Known as “for-benefit” businesses, they aim to turn a profit and give back to the community. Benefit corporations, one type of for-benefit business, even have an obligation under California law to follow through on social and environmental goals. Entrepreneurs and city leaders met July 2 at the Leichtag Foundation property in Encinitas to talk about how the city can become a national model for this movement. The goal isn’t a pipe dream.

Encinitas council approves new city manager contract BY JARED WHITLOCK New Encinitas City Manager Karen P. Brust will start Sept. 1. The Encinitas City Council on July 8 unanimously approved her contract, ending a six-month search for a city manager. Council began the hunt after former City Manager Gus Vina left to take a city manager position in Northern California. The contract calls for Brust to receive an annual salary of $238,000, plus benefits, a $500 a month car allowance and a $100 a month cell phone allowance. Brust is currently the city manager of San Juan Capistrano, a job she’s held since 2011. Prior to that, she was the city manager of Del Mar. Councilman Tony Kranz said thanks to these roles, Brust has valuable experience dealing with railroad and coastal issues. He also stated it’s a positive she lives in Olivenhain. “And she has her finance bona fides,” Kranz said, noting Brust was also the director of finance at the San Diego County Water Authority for nearly a decade. She received a salary of $218,000 a year plus benefits as city manager in San Juan Capistrano. Mayor Kristin Gaspar said Brust was slated to receive $250,000 starting in July. “So there has been a significant reduction in the salary she was willing to accept,” Gaspar said, adding Brust’s benefits would have also been better in San Juan Capistrano. Vina’s annual salary was $216,000 as well as benefits when he left. Gaspar said because Vina was in a different retirement tier than Brust will be, the city will be spared $17,000 annually in retirement costs. That $17,000 was added to Brust’s base salary to “bridge the gap” during negotiations, Gaspar stated. A subcommittee made up of Gaspar and Deputy Mayor Catherine Blakespear hashed out the contract details over the last few weeks. Councilman Mark Muir said the subcommittee negotiated a good deal for the city.
Karen P. Brust San Diego Union Tribune file photo “I know it wasn’t an easy process,” he said. Muir also stated he’s glad the council was unanimously on board with hiring Brust. Kranz said because Brust was happily employed in San Juan Capistrano she was “in the driver’s seat so to speak” in terms of negotiating. He added that’s in contrast to Vina, who was unemployed when the city interviewed him. Encinitas received 61 applications for the position. Because Brust won’t start until Sept. 1, city department heads will take two-week turns as city manager in the interim.
Local boy raises money for dog’s surgery BY JARED WHITLOCK Dominic Locatelli, 12, recently raised money for a Yorkie’s surgery by selling cookies and lemonade. Not only that, Locatelli started fundraising even before he met the dog. Locatelli heard about Rosie, a 7-month-old Yorkie, after the dog’s story popped up on his mom’s Facebook page. Rosie, a rescue dog, had a heart murmur and was in need of surgery. “I wanted to help because we just had a 17-yearold Yorkie pass away,” Locatelli said. He added that he wants Rosie “to have a long life.” Locatelli, who lives with his family in Carlsbad and plays in the Encinitas Little League, raised $1,100. And 132 people contributed a total of $6,260 through the crowdfunding website GoFundMe. All told, the money Locatelli brought in and the GoFundMe donations covered the surgery costs. A July 2 update posted on GoFundMe states there were complications and it was a difficult surgery, but Rosie no longer has a heart murmur. The update thanked all those who contributed. Locatelli got the chance to meet Rosie a few weeks ago.

County Board of Education appoints Encinitas resident Rick Shea as District 5 Representative At its July 8 meeting, the San Diego County Board of Education appointed Encinitas resident Rick Shea as the board representative for District 5, which runs along the coast from Del Mar to Camp Pendleton and includes some inland North County areas. Shea has lived in District 5 for more than 40 years and has dedicated his career to helping students succeed. Prior to retiring as the special assistant to the county superintendent/ administrative services officer for the San Diego County Office of Education, Shea served as a classroom teacher and head teacher for the Juvenile Court Schools and as a juvenile probation officer. Shea has also served as mayor and a city council member of Encinitas, a board member of the Encinitas Fire Protection District, San Dieguito Water District, Cardiff by the Sea Sanitation District, and North County Transit District. Shea was chosen from a pool of 15 candidates. Each candidate was asked a series of interview questions by the three sitting board members. At the conclusion of the initial interviews, each board member nominated a candidate to go to a final interview. Second-round candidates also included Comischell Bradley-Rodriguez and Miles Durfee, both from San Diego. Shea was appointed by a unanimous vote and was immediately sworn into office by County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Randy Ward. “My desire to serve on the County Board is a continuation of the 30-plus years I have dedicated to public service, education, and to the children of San Diego County,” said Shea. Shea’s first full meeting as a County Board of Education member will be on Aug. 12, when he will help select the appointee for the board’s District 2 seat, which is currently vacant. Shea will hold office until January 2017. A successor will be elected in 2016 to complete the term ending Jan. 2019. “The board is pleased to have received such a large number of applications for the District 5 seat,” said County Board of Education President Dr. Gregg Robinson. “Mr. Shea comes to us ready to do the job.”

When he was selling lemonade and cookies, some asked Locatelli why he isn’t taking the money and buying things for himself. “I already have most of the stuff I need and want,” Locatelli said. “So I thought I’d do something good.” Michelle Robertson-Clark, who started the GoFundMe page, said she’s very grateful for Locattelli’s efforts. “It came out of left field, but what a welcome surprise,” she said. Robertson-Clark is the owner of The Rescued Pup, an animal shelter in Ramona that took Rosie in. Dan Locatelli, his dad, said Dominic never hesitates to lend a hand. “He jumped in with both feet and did this all himself,” Dan said. “It’s very rewarding to have a son who thinks of others. It’s how he’s wired.” Before Rosie, Dominic sold lemons last summer to benefit Rady Children’s Hospital. Previously, Dominic’s appendix was removed there. Dan recalled: “Dominic told me, ‘The nurses are really nice and everyone worked hard. I want the money to go to them.’”
BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Fire crews put out a two-alarm roof fire at an Encinitas restaurant last week. The non-injury blaze was reported shortly before 9:15 a.m. July 2 at Zenbu, a sushi restaurant at 2801 San Elijo Ave., according to fire officials. Another restaurant, Rimel’s, is also located at the Cardiff Town Center strip mall where the fire broke out. It took fire crews from Encinitas, Solana Beach and Carlsbad about an hour to put out the flames. The restaurants were not yet open for business when the fire started. Smoke from the fire was visible from northbound Interstate 5 near Lomas Santa Fe, the California Highway Patrol reported. The cause of the fire was under investigation.
EUSD prepares for $14M bond sale BY PAT MAIO SPECIAL TO THE ENCINITAS ADVOCATE The Encinitas Union School District will sell $14 million worth of bonds in September to pay for several planned construction projects and technology and energy-efficiency upgrades. District staff laid out the plans Tuesday during a school board meeting. Dannielle Brook, assistant superintendent in charge of business services, said the district has $21 million remaining on the $44 million Proposition P bond measure passed by Encinitas voters in November 2010. Proceeds for the $14 million bond sale, which are to be distributed by Sept. 17, will be used to improve campuses in three ways. The first will be to modernize classrooms throughout the district, upgrading infrastructure and providing technology tools for students and teachers. The second involves making schools more energy-efficient by installing solar panels, distributing reclaimed water for irrigation, replacing inefficient heating and air conditioning systems, and upgrading restroom fixtures. The third area will focus on renovating and upgrading facilities around the district. The remaining $7.2 million in bonds left over from Proposition P will be sold in 2017, Brook said.

Encinitas Community Garden gets green thumbs-up at last BY JARED WHITLOCK Residents have been trying to start a community garden for six years. After much delay, they now have all the necessary permits to break ground. City staff gave the final green light on July 1. With that, volunteers and Encinitas Community Garden organizers will set up planter boxes and complete other work at 10 a.m. on July 11 at the garden, 441 Quail Gardens Drive. “It’s been a long journey, so this is great, and it will be really great when we get people out here planting,” said Gordon Smith, president of the nonprofit Encinitas Community Garden, while walking the site. The community garden, set to debut around September, will initially have 60 wooden planter boxes, some measuring 10 feet by 10 feet and others 5 feet by 10 feet. A drip irrigation system is in place to provide water to crops inside the planters. “We’re very conscious of the water situation,” Smith said. He then pointed to another feature: wire mesh at the bottom of planter boxes that’s intended to keep gophers out. Smith said the mission of the garden is to teach residents how to grow organic produce, particularly those who live in apartments or don’t have gardening space. Tools will be provided, and instructors will be on hand. “And we want people renting plots to learn from each other,” Smith said. “This will build community.” Individuals or groups can rent planter boxes, at a cost that will be announced in the next week or two at www.encinitascommunitygarden.org. Volunteers — needed on July 11 to build the boxes and move completed ones on to the largely barren property — can email info@encinitascommunitygarden.org. Why did it take six years for a community garden to sprout? The Encinitas City Council in January 2009 registered its support for a community garden and tasked organizers with finding a site. In the intervening years, garden organizers formed the nonprofit and settled on the Quail Gardens site after scouting locations throughout the city. They also had to wait for the Encinitas Union School District, which owns the 10-acre property the garden is on, to finalize site plans. Anticipating the garden was soon to break ground, the nonprofit and volunteers began assembling planter boxes. But city staff told organizers that a coastal development permit and grading permit are still necessary, which took months to obtain. Organizers did, however, get some help from the Encinitas Planning Commission, which decided last summer that a community garden is allowed by right in the Encinitas Ranch Specific Plan, waiving a $1,600 minor-use permit. Elizabeth Taylor, legal counsel for the nonprofit Encinitas Community Garden, said this was the city’s first community garden, making for a complicated permitting process. With the city working on an urban agriculture ordinance, she’s hopeful future community gardens will have an easier path forward. The nonprofit is leasing the acre plot from the Encinitas Union School District, which recently launched Farm Lab on the surrounding land to give students firsthand lessons in

After much delay, a garden groundbreaking is slated for 10 a.m. July 11 at 441 Quail Gardens Drive. Photo by Jared Whitlock planting, growing and cooking produce. Against that backdrop, Taylor said the community garden will fit in nicely. She added it will also complement the E3 Cluster, a group of six like-minded organizations in the area that formed last year to collaborate on education and health initiatives. E3 members include the Leichtag Foundation, San Dieguito Heritage Museum, San Diego Botanic Garden, Encinitas Union School District, Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA and Seacrest Village. “It fits with what all these are groups are doing,” Taylor said. Along the way, the nonprofit has received a number of donations and grants, including a recent $5,000 grant from the Mizel Family Foundation. Besides volunteers, the garden is looking for additional grants and donations, as well as board members. Those interested can email info@encinitascommunitygarden.org.

Encinitas boy, 10, hoping for wheelchair-accessible van for family BY LINDA MCINTOSH SPECIAL TO THE ENCINITAS ADVOCATE A 10-year old Encinitas boy battling a deadly form of muscular dystrophy is trying to keep upbeat even though it’s getting harder for him to get around. As he becomes more dependent on a wheelchair, Tanner Rico’s family is hoping to get a handicapped-accessible van. “He is slowing down a bit, can no longer get off the floor without help ... However, he is still one happy kid, just wanting to be a boy and have fun ... Unfortunately, Tanner wishes summer did not have to come so soon. He actually cried on the last day (of school) because he said he missed his friends,” said his mother, Traci Rico, on a recent blog post. The family also has a 14-year-old daughter, Pria, who has a rare condition of the respiratory tract, known as recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, that requires surgery every six weeks. She has had 66 such surgeries. Each one she faces courageously bringing with her a prayer quilt made for her. The family’s strong faith and positive attitude have inspired people who know them. “I have watched them battle their son’s debilitating and deadly Duchenne muscular dystrophy and their daughter’s throat surgeries with grace and hope,” said Ron Zehr, who is coordinating the fundraising effort. “But now is the time to step forward and help them, as Tanner becomes increasingly dependent on a wheelchair,” said Zehr, who is a board member of the Encinitas Lions Club. The Encinitas Lions Club is supporting the effort with $5,000, and so far the family has raised nearly $13,000 toward the estimated $30,000 to buy the van. Community members are pulling together to get the van and asking others to join the effort. Traci and her husband, Toni, who live in an apartment in Encinitas, have been juggling several part-time jobs while taking care of their children. Traci was laid off from her accounting job at a small business that had a downturn several years ago. Besides working part-time jobs, she is working on a college degree (trying to keep a 4.0 GPA) to improve her job pros-

Encinitas ultra-runner finishes 100-mile run across tough terrain BY KAREN BILLING While Encinitas’ Jeff Hooker might be hesitant to say he ran 100 miles for a belt buckle, he pretty much did just that. Every runner who finishes the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run under the benchmarks of 24 hours or 30 hours earns themselves a hefty, handmade silver or bronze belt buckle — a coveted prize among ultra-runners. Hooker got 100 tough miles under his belt — and the buckle to boot — by being one of only 254 runners to finish Western States on June 28 in California gold country. Hooker, 48, completed what is considered the oldest and most prestigious 100-mile trail race in 29 hours and 29 minutes. The race takes runners from Squaw Valley, site of the 1960 Winter Olympics at 6,200 feet elevation, ascending to Emigrant Pass at an elevation of 8,750 feet. The remote and rugged trail course ascends 15,540 feet more, then descends 22,970 feet before finishing in Auburn on the track at Placer High School. Western States has a dropout rate of 30 percent; runners must meet the 30-hour cutoff point to be considered finishers. While some 26,000 people ran in this year’s Rock n’ Roll San Diego Marathon and Half, fewer than 10,000 people have run Western States over the race’s lifespan since 1974. So why does Hooker want to run 100mile races? “I don’t know,� he stated honestly with a laugh, except that he loves to run and he had already tackled every distance from 5K to marathon. One hundred miles was just another challenging distance to take down. “The reason why I keep doing it is the community. The trail-running community is very different from the road-racing commu-
nity. It’s a smaller community because not a lot of runners go out and run 100 or more miles. It’s just a different mentality, and a different group of very, very supportive and yet highly competitive people.� In San Diego, they are called SURF (San Diego Ultra-Running Friends). They organize group-training runs and serve as a valuable resource for ultra-runners. Several SURFers began Western States and were cut off by time; Hooker and Joey Bryan were the only locals to finish. Western States was Hooker’s fourth start and third finish of a 100-mile race. He has started the San Diego 100 Mile Endurance Run three times and finished twice — in 2013, he missed the cut-off time after being slowed by 100-degree heat and getting lost at mile 51. Hooker has been training in ultra-running for the past five years, balancing running long with life and work at a computer technology company. He will ramp up training in January for spring, summer and fall ultras, logging 60 to 70 miles a week during training, with long runs of 20 to 30 miles on the weekends. Typically, having a few 30-plus-mile runs will have him feeling sufficiently prepared for a 100-mile race, although before Western States, he ran the 50-mile Pacific Coast Trail Run as a training run. He frequently runs Lake Hodges, Elfin Forest or Los Penasquitos Canyon, and goes out to Mount Laguna or Lake Cuyamuca to get used to elevation and mountain climbs. As Western States has big elevation gains and losses, Hooker focused on his downhill training as well as his climbing. For the first time in his ultra-running career, he also dealt with an injury during training — a peroneal (ankle) tendon started to flare

up in his left foot from overuse, which he handled by visits to a chiropractor and adjusting his training schedule. To race Western States, runners first must qualify and win in a participant lottery. It is extremely hard to get in, and Hooker had one ticket in the lottery, a 48 percent chance to get selected. Team Hooker, which included his wife, Charlene; his daughter, Theresa; his mother, Gayle Griffith; his daughter’s best friend, Sami Amezcua; and Gloria King, his “safety runner� and pacer, traveled to Lake Tahoe the Saturday before the race so Hooker could adjust to the altitude. The foot felt fine and he hiked up the race’s first big climb, 2,550 vertical feet, to get his nerves out. “It ended up being the easiest hill there was,� Hooker said. The race started at 5 a.m. and the winner, Rob Krar, was done before the sun set, in 14:48:59. For others, like Hooker, the race goes into the night with runners donning headgear to light their way. “I break the race into sub-races: the first day, the night race and the next-day race, beSee RUNNER, page 14

Stormtrooper walks 645 miles to Comic-Con •K evin Doyle is making the cross-California trek to honor his late wife, Eileen, a “Star Warsâ€? fan BY PAM KRAGEN, SPECIAL TO THE ENCINITAS ADVOCATE Tens of thousands of fans will descend on San Diego this week for Comic-Con International, but none will make their arrival in the heart-tugging fashion of Kevin Doyle. In honor of his late wife, Eileen, the Minnesota man has spent the past month walking more than 600 miles down the California coastline in his “Star Warsâ€? Stormtrooper costume. The couple were avid fans of the sci-fi film series and its costume guild, and the walk that began June 6 at a “Star Warsâ€? museum in Petaluma and ended Thursday at the San Diego Convention Center is a tribute to her memory. Doyle, 57, said he hasn’t been able to find his creative spark since his wife died from pancreatic cancer in November 2012. He hopes his mind-clearing walkabout will inspire him to return to work as an illustrator and photographer and raise money for a children’s cancer charity he launched in her name. “In the time since she died, I’ve struggled with how to deal with the loss. I’ve been self-destructive and my art suffered,â€? he said. “Being out here, my mindset is an open book. I hope I find enough healing to be creative and work in that way again.â€? On his trek, Doyle has braved heat waves, torrential rainstorms, traffic and narrow ocean cliff trails. But he said his overall
experience has been one of joy and wonder. As word of his walk has spread, people have stopped to give him food and water, make donations, take photos, walk beside him and share their own cancer experiences. “Sometimes they just want to stop and give me a hug,� he said. “I haven’t wrapped my head around it at this point. I’m walking to honor my wife but I had no idea that people would make it their own personal journey.� On Tuesday, Doyle was making his way through Encinitas with the three-wheeled pet stroller he uses to carry his camping and other supplies. For most of the way, he’s been following coastal Highway 101, but he took a detour Tuesday afternoon when he saw a sign for Vulcan Avenue. “I couldn’t resist seeing that, since I love ‘Star Trek’ and the Vulcan hand salute.� Doyle grew up in St. Paul, Minn., and studied photojournalism at the Rochester Institute of Technology. He worked as a staff photographer at a sports arena in Minneapolis and in recent years designed sketch cards for Topps trading cards. He met his wife, Eileen Shige, through their shared love for “Star Wars� and its worldwide costume guild, the 501st Legion. She was a comics artist who sold her artwork at conventions in the Midwest and they loved dressing up in their matching Stormtrooper armor. In October 2009, he

proposed to her dressed as Darth Vader and at their backyard wedding in 2010, an R2D2 robot served as their ring bearer. In 2011, she was diagnosed with cancer and died 13 months later.

I normally wouldn’t write a letter to the editor about receiving a parking ticket, but given the current state of police-community relations in our country, I can’t resist sharing what happened to my husband and I on a recent outing to Moonlight Beach. On our way home from dinner with our kids and grandson, we decided to stop at Moonlight Beach to take in the beauty of our coastline. We parked and stood in front of the car watching the waves, then decided to walk up to the viewing point above the cul-de-sac to see if we could spot the full moon. We’d not been away from our car more than a few minutes when we saw two sheriff cars pull into the cul-de-sac. My husband and I immediately made our way down, not wanting to be in the mix of some potential crime scene. As we got closer to our car, we noticed the deputy looked to be writing us a ticket. My husband called out as we approached. The deputy ignored him. When we got to the deputy, we asked why we were being cited. The deputy said nothing and didn’t once look at us, rather walked to the front of the car and snapped the ticket under our windshield wiper, then walked away while pointing at the sign and said (with his back to us), “No parking after 10 p.m.” We plead guilty to not reading the parking sign. But when a 69-year-old member of the community addresses a 30-something member of our sheriff’s department and the sheriff can’t even bother to turn around and address the person he’s paid to “protect and serve” in a civil manner, then something is wrong with our policing. We’re not Baltimore or Ferguson. We’re sleepy Encinitas, and yet we too have the problem of police who think that we citizens work for them rather than the other way around. As an aside to Encinitas City Council Members: I realize Encinitas is not New York, the city that never sleeps, and your intent is to prevent overnight camping at the beach, but isn’t 10 p.m. a little early to close down parking? I can imagine a tourist parking there and after a brief still to take in the beauty, finding a parking ticket on their car. That scenario wouldn’t be great for public relations. Also, out of curiosity, I went a few nights later and parked near the cul-de-sac, and there again were the sheriff deputies on their beat, writing tickets at 10:30. Seems like “protect and serve” should be changed to “protect, serve, and ‘fill the coffers.’” Sincerely, Amy Roost

New city manager’s salary comes as a shock To the Encinitas City Council: I was shocked to read about the council’s recent new hire. Not so much that you hired someone who jumps around city to city ... How long before she moves on to a larger city? The shock factor is the amount of her salary. A person being paid almost a quarter million dollars a year sure as heck doesn’t need an additional $500 a month for car expenses and $100 a month to talk on the phone. With the number of applicants for the city manager job, it would seem that the council could have considered the word “negotiation.” Lots of people wanted the job, and as is done in the private sector, the “best” is not always the highest paid. We the people, your employees, want an additional sheriff’s deputy downtown at night, not the senior patrol or lifeguards as some of you suggested. When the total expenses (not projected ones), for the Pacific View School fiasco are said and done, I’m sure the amounts will be enough for two or three deputies. Norman T. Keith Encinitas

cause I’m a bit slower,” Hooker said. “I run aid station to aid station. I tell myself, ‘I just need to go eight more miles,’ rather than ‘I’ve got to go 88 more miles.’ “Every race typically has a low, and the low can be small or a big low,” he said. Hooker’s big low came after mile 30 — he’d just had a very long climb to Robinson Flat in the peak of the day’s 98-degree heat. He reached the aid station where Team Hooker was waiting to greet him. Typically, he remembers the ultra-runner’s credo of “Beware of the chair” (meaning once you sit, it’s pretty hard to get back up), but he found a rock in the shade and sat down. “My wife was aghast. She said, ‘You don’t ever sit down!’” Hooker recalled. He usually tries not to spend more than two minutes at an aid station, mostly just taking time to refill his water bottles and get a protein shake from Charlene. Each aid station in Western States is manned by a volunteer crew, whose mission it is to keep their eyes on the runners for any health problems and to keep them on course when they start to feel defeated. One such volunteer was key to getting Hooker back on his feet. “He said, ‘I know you’re hot and tired, but I can see in your eyes that you’re not done yet, so get up and go,’” Hooker said, growing emotional remembering that “wonderful” volunteer’s motivational words. “Those little things, they just get you going because physically you don’t want to. The body will do what the mind believes. That was my mantra I repeated many, many times. And I visualized that belt buckle in my mind.” So on (and on) he went, through crests and descents with names like Miller’s Defeat, Dusty Corners, Last Chance and Devil’s Thumb. The race had fantastic, “awe-inspiring” views that Hooker had to remind himself to stop and take in. His pacer, King, joined him for 38 miles. While he grabbed a cooked potato at one aid station, he mostly subsisted on water and his wife’s protein shakes. “That’s my carrot,” he said of Charlene’s magic almond milk-and-protein concoction. “It really refuels me.” As it was very hot that day, Hooker was really chasing the clock the whole time to try and stay under 30 hours. Not until he reached the Placer High track and saw that he had a 30-minute buffer could he finally let go. He had studied Western States for years and knew every part of the race by heart. His eyes welled up when he talked about how long he had visualized himself on that track, on the homestretch of a 100-mile feat of endurance. At the last aid station at Robie Point, anyone can join the runners for the last 1.5 miles of the course. Theresa (who runs cross country at Santa Fe Christian) and Sami were waiting to run with him. Sami peeled off as they reached the entrance to the track, and he and his daughter did the last quarter-mile lap together — a race photographer capturing the “awesome” moment with smiles on both their faces. “It was amazing how many people were enthusiastically cheering, almost overjoyed for you that you made it,” Hooker said. “To do that for every runner, to have that much enthusiasm, for me that was special. That was the high.” As much as he loves the challenge of 100-mile races, he admits he does really like the end of them. “When I crossed the line, my answer was ‘No, I’m not running this again.’ My answer today is ‘Absolutely,’” said Hooker last week, wearing his belt buckle and a Western States button-up, and walking with a proud hobble. At the end of August, Hooker will run in the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, a mountainous 103-mile quest through the Swiss Alps. Different from Western States, UTMB stays at an elevation of 8,000 feet and involves a lot more power hiking in the rugged terrain. The cut-off is 46 hours; last year’s winner did it in 22 hours. “Even the fast guy and gals go much slower, so it’s a different style of race,” Hooker said. In October, he plans to run the Cuyamaca 100K, a 62mile race. Hooker hasn’t run since Western States and is taking a two-week break from running. “Mentally, it’s hard, because running is a love,” Hooker said. “But I do need to let my body recover and respect that I put it through a lot.”

Locally, a team of 17 volunteer judges saw 64 shows among 27 different groups for the North County awards, said Rob Hooper, NYT executive director. “The number of youth theatre performance opportunities in San Diego County has to be among the highest in the country, and that helps foster an experienced and immensely talented group of performers who can choose from a wide variety of venues and shows — musicals from ‘Annie’ to ‘Zombie Prom,’ as well as comedies and dramas,” Hooper commented. “It’s an honor to be able to enjoy their work during the year and recognize some of their work with the summer ceremonies; their excitement and support for one another when brought together in one place is inspiring.” Award show tickets may be purchased at www.nationalyouththeatre.com. Award winners and nominees receive one free ticket; additional tickets cost $15 each. The public is invited to attend. Follow links from http://nationalyouththeatre.com/news/news_nya_ awards2015.asp for each show. Canyon Crest Academy’s Proscenium Theatre is at 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, CA 92130.

tal goals. Under benefit corporation rules, Patagonia must confirm it’s pursuing these ends every year by publishing an independently verified report. Patagonia has stated it filed as a benefit corporation to lock in its socially minded mission. Alternatively, many traditional companies face pressure or have a fiduciary duty to put shareholder value above all else. Sabeti said going the fourth-sector route can also make sense from a profit standpoint, since much re- Heerad Sabeti speaks July 2 at the Leichtag Foundation search shows consumers pre- property. Photo by Jared Whitlock fer companies involved in social good. Resident Andrew Hewitt organized the meeting to gain community support for making Encinitas a fourth-sector model. “Encinitas was a community encouraged for consideration,” Hewitt said of the Growing the Impact Economy summit. “And it is really up to our community if we step into that opportunity.” His pitch was warmly received from the 40 or so entrepreneurs and city leaders in attendance. Most agreed to meet on a regular basis to nurture the local movement (the next meeting date and location weren’t available by press time). Hewitt listed other benefits to being named a pilot community. Encinitas would be featured in a White House-backed playbook for communities interested in fourth-sector development. And the nonprofit State of the USA would develop metrics to gauge the city’s progress in supporting for-benefit businesses. An email inquiring how many model communities will be named and when was not answered by press time. Hewitt created GameChangers 500, a list profiling the top for-benefit companies. He recalled during the meeting that he began searching for a city two years ago where he could champion the fourth sector. Encinitas, with a number of socially conscious businesses and an environmentally minded populace, fit the bill. Raj Lahoti, the CEO of DMV.org, told the crowd during introductions that he relocated his company to Encinitas two years ago to pursue a triple-bottom line, which means prioritizing not only profit, but also positive environmental and social impacts. He’s also the managing director of For Benefit Ventures, which invests in such companies. “I want to grow this ecosystem,” Lahoti said. Anthony Zolezzi is a nationally known entrepreneur and also an operating partner at Pegasus Capital Advisors, which focuses on launching health products and companies. Zolezzi said he’d like to lend a hand to the local movement. Robert Styler moved to Encinitas a mere day before the meeting. He’s the co-founder of Powur Solar, a b-corp, not to be confused with benefit corporation. The nonprofit B Lab awards the b-corp status. To earn it, companies must complete an in-depth questionnaire — with supporting paperwork — that offers points for conserving utilities, paying employees fairly, volunteering in the community and helping the planet in other ways. “What I liked about Encinitas is that people want to change the world, but they’re very grounded in how they want to do it,” Styler said. “It’s not just this hippie feel of ‘Oh, go with the flow.’ It’s more ‘Here’s the business plan, here’s the structure.’” Companies don’t necessarily have to be a b-corp or benefit corporation to fit the forbenefit mold. San Francisco’s Recology, a traditional for-profit company featured in GameChangers 500, collects and processes municipal solid waste, reclaiming materials otherwise destined for the landfill. But for a socially conscious entrepreneur, there are downsides to picking for-profit or nonprofit, fourth-sector advocates say. Going for-profit often means that social goals take a back seat, while nonprofits are limited in their ability to raise capital. Advocates say national tax laws should be rewritten to allow for a happy medium. Thora Guthrie, executive director of Encinitas 101 Main Street, said Encinitas seems ripe for the fourth sector. “I really look forward to learning more,” she said.
STUDIO

less and at-risk youth, and over the years it has raised more than $1 million for San Diego-based children’s charities. Through working with these charities, Butler said the band became aware of the lack of music opportunities for underserved youth in Encinitas. To accommodate the less fortunate, the studio will run on a pay-whatyou-can model. “Encinitas has a really wide socioeconomic makeup,” Butler said. “Kids here in our own backyard don’t necessarily have all the opportunities that we did growing up.” He continued: “The pay-what-you-can model maybe wouldn’t work everywhere. But because of the diverse socioeconomic makeup, and the generosity of the community, I think it will here.” The idea for Bro-Am Studios was born more than a year ago. Switchfoot guitar player Drew Shirley, whose mom is a music teacher in San Diego, saw firsthand the toll that music cutbacks in public schools has taken on students. “We became aware of the need for kids in San Diego to have access to music education,” Butler said. He added that music not only helps kids’ cognitive development, but it also keeps them out of trouble. “When I was younger and started playing, suddenly I had this language I could speak with people, and the friendships that came out of that have been lifelong.” The studio aims to fill another void. For up-and-coming bands, there are few local places to perform, Butler said. That wasn’t necessarily the case when Switchfoot got its start playing in Encinitas two decades ago.
STORMTROOPER
Back then, there were more all-age venues, like Miracles Café in Cardiff, which closed a decade ago. And the E Street Café, beloved by musicians and poets, shuttered last summer. “It was easier back then; there were a lot of great coffee shops,” he said. So in response, Bro-Am Studios will have small concerts and singer-songwriter showcases. The space, surrounded by businesses like Hansen’s Surf Shop and Univ, was transformed into a state-of-the art studio in recent months. Butler said it’s the ideal place for a music school. “As a musician, I’m inspired by cool spaces,” he said. “If things sound good and you’re surrounded by like-minded people, you want to perform better and you’re motivated.” With all the collaboration that’s sure to happen at Bro-Am Studios, Butler anticipates great bands forming. “I could picture a band that comes out of here that graduates to a global stage, much bigger than Switchfoot,” he said. “I would love that.” Budding musicians can sign up for BroAm Studios lessons at www.broam.org. The Switchfoot Bro-Am surf contest will take place from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. July 11 at Moonlight Beach. 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. “It’s rock ‘n’ roll, surfing and charity,” Butler said. “I look forward to this day all year …And this studio will sort of be a yearround version of that vision.”

ry on. Always an avid walker, he decided to move forward by hitting the road in Eileen’s memory. He completed a Breast Cancer 3-Day in Minnesota in his Stormtrooper costume and then began looking for other ways to memorialize her. Early this year, he planned a trip to California to visit Rancho Obi-Wan, a “Star Wars” museum started four years ago in Petaluma by his longtime friend Steve Sansweet. While visiting California, Doyle thought he’d like to attend Comic-Con and when he Googlemapped the distance between San Francisco and San Diego, the result was 501 miles. Since he and Eileen were members of the 501st Legion, he saw it as a sign. “When you lose somebody, you look for things like that. To me it was like she was telling me that this was something I needed to do,” he said. The walk is raising money for Eileen’s Little Angels, a charity he created to provide comfort bags to children undergoing chemotherapy. He is raising money with an online fundraising campaign (www.crowdrise.com/501milewalk) and hopes to create a line of bandannas, coloring books and blankets decorated with Eileen’s artwork. Although the highway route from San Francisco to San Diego is 501 miles, the coastal route is 645. Doyle has walked between 20 and 45 miles every day to campgrounds along the coast. He always wears his Stormtrooper armor, but only dons the helmet for photographs because it limits his vision and hearing. Besides a bad sunburn on his face, his trip has been problem-free. Doyle said he fell in love with Monterey and Santa Cruz and has been warmed by the friendly, welcoming nature of Californians. One couple in Lompoc joined him for 10 miles of his walk and invited him back to go sky diving after the convention next week. Others have read about his walk on social media and invited him to join them for dinner and a game of volleyball. Through Lucasfilm, Sansweet was able to get Doyle a free four-day pass to Comic-Con and members of the 501st Legion have raised enough money to set him up in a hotel room during his stay. Doyle said he’s planning to visit with other 501st Legion members and enjoy the convention. Then, he’ll make his way back up the coast by train to revisit some of his favorite California cities. “So far, I feel like I’m so much better in the healing process than if I’d stayed home,” he said. “I’m looking forward to heading back up the coast to explore a few more pockets, pull out a chair and sit for a day.”

Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC recently announced that Kyle Murphy, a REALTOR from Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Encinitas office, was named to the Coldwell Banker 30 Under 30 List. This prestigious list encompasses the top young real estate professionals among the 86,000 Coldwell Banker professionals working in 43 countries around the world. This group of real estate professionals honors the heritage of founders, Colbert Coldwell and later Arthur Banker, who started their company at 24 and 28 years old, respectively. Murphy was honored for his drive, determination and work ethic. He believes real estate is based on service and he is confident that there is no one who provides their clients better service than himself. “I am not afraid of hard work. I come in early and stay late,” said Murphy. “I always have my clients’ best interests at heart and will always do everything I can to help them achieve their goals.” He has been affiliated with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage since 2008. Murphy prides himself on giving back to the community. He actively participates in the Can Tree food drive through the Community Resource Center where food, toys, clothing and other items for needy families in the area are collected. During the holidays, they package food and deliver it to families. As a child, Murphy had a learning disability but thanks to his amazing teachers and hard work, Murphy graduated high school and went on time to graduate college where he made the Dean’s list. He is currently planning a day periodically where he can go back to his old elementary school and meet with the kids who have learning disabilities and share his story and encourage them to also overcome their difficulties. “This is a monumental achievement for Kyle and we could not be more proud of him,” said Jeff Hayes, manager of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Encinitas. To think he stands apart from thousands and thousands of tremendous real estate professionals in the entire Coldwell Banker brand is staggering. The future is so bright for Kyle.” “Narrowing the list of talented professionals to decide on the 30-under-30 was an incredibly challenging, yet rewarding, experience,” said Budge Huskey, president and chief executive officer of Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. “The remarkable achievements exhibited by these outstanding young entrepreneurs is nothing short of amazing. They serve as a shining example of what’s possible in our business at any age with the winning combination of talent and commitment. Their activities, both in real estate as well as within their companies and local communities, serve as ex-

RANCHO SANTA FE $1,349,500 4 BR/3 BA Kyle Murphy amples for all and I am so proud they represent the future of the great Coldwell Banker brand.” Murphy feels the old school, tried and true ways of farming, door knocking, and phone calls are the best ways to be successful. He sums up his love for real estate by the motto, “meet people, make friends, earn their trust and their business.” He enjoys meeting new people and hopefully making their lives better through the course of transactions, while at the same time making new lifelong friendships. The Coldwell Banker organization will honor Murphy at its international Generation Blue Experience in Chicago, Ill. Sept. 16-18.
