Traffic Commission backs nighttime no-parking zone on Seacrest Way

BY JARED WHITLOCK Concerns about long-term parking, litter and drug use prompted the Encinitas Traffic and Public Safety Commission on Aug. 10 to unanimously support a no-parking zone from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Seacrest Way. The proposed nighttime parking ban would extend to neighboring streets also affected by the issues: Sea View Court and Pacific View Lane. Those residing on the two streets could obtain permits that would exempt them and up to three visitors.

Residents at the meeting said people often exceed the current 72-hour parking limit on the streets, and when they take off, some leave behind liquor bottles and drug paraphernalia. And Seacrest Way has become so congested that cars park at the corners of intersections, blocking the visibility for drivers turning into the street, they said.

“The overnight ban removes the easy and constant convenience to drop garbage, clothing, used tampons, condoms, alcohol containers, drug trash, etc. on Seacrest Way under the darkness of night,” said Rebecca Baker, who lives on Pacific View Lane.

With the commission recommendation, the Encinitas City Council will consider the parking ban in the next few months. Right now, there’s only one nighttime no-parking zone in the city — Devon-

shire Drive near Scripps Memorial Hospital, which was established to discourage hospital employees from parking on the street.

Some stated the Seacrest Way parking problems exist in part because of the 248unit Essex Heights Apartments to the south. They said Essex Heights residents and visitors increasingly choose to park on Seacrest Way, instead of paying for parking passes for the complex.

Nine public speakers voiced support for the overnight ban, with two opposed.

Marilyn McLeod, who lives in the Essex Heights Apartments, said Seacrest Way serves as overflow parking when parking spaces in the complex are filled. Essex Heights residents should at least be given permits to park on Seacrest Way, she added.

“I know some apartment people really rely on that parking,” McLeod said. She added that banning overnight parking is “one-sided,” and that an increased Sheriff’s Department presence or painting more curbs red at intersections should be explored.

Rob Blough, the city’s traffic engineer, said the owner of Essex Heights Apartments is in support of the overnight parking ban and has reported there’s sufficient parking in the complex. But given some opposition to the overnight parking ban, Blough suggested the commission consider overnight

The Traffic and Public Safety Commission came out in favor of a nighttime no-parking zone on Seacrest Way, Sea View Court and Pacific View Lane, after hearing residents’ concerns. Photo by Jared Whitlock permits just for Essex Heights residents and visitors so they could park on Seacrest Way. However, the commission declined to pursue the idea.

“It seems to me if the ownership of the apartments isn’t here raising a fuss, there’s a non-issue there,” Commissioner Dave Hutchinson said.

Concerned residents in the area initiated the nighttime no-parking zone by recently submitting a petition to the city. They said most of the problems are on Seacrest Way, but banning overnight parking on only that street would push the problems to Sea View Court and Pacific View Lane, so See PARKING, page 14

BY JARED WHITLOCK Encinitas wants to pass a new “density bonus” housing ordinance, after recently settling a lawsuit over the controversial development issue.

California’s density bonus law lets developers bypass local zoning and build more housing than normally allowed, and in return at least one of the homes must be reserved for low-income individuals.

The Building Industry Association last fall sued the city in response to the Encinitas City Council tightening the rules for density bonus projects. But a settlement reached last month forced the city to rescind most of those regulations, including the requirement that affordable homes in density bonus developments be at least 75 percent of the size of their market rate counterparts.

The agreement also directed city staff to craft a revised density bonus ordinance, which went before the Planning Commission Aug. 6 and will later go to the council for consideration.

The Planning Commission voted unanimously to endorse the ordinance, leaving it largely intact, including a

key clause over “rounding down” a density bonus calculation.

The ordinance states the city will round down, not up, on fractional base density units, resulting in fewer homes in the developments. Planning Commissioner Glenn O’Grady said the rounding matter should be left to the council, considering its earlier stance.

Although the council had to reverse rules on density bonus projects under the settlement, it retained the ability to round down.

The council agreed that the See DENSITY, page 14

Dave Roberts’ political support hits snags

BY JOSHUA STEWART, SPECIAL TO THE ENCINITAS ADVOCATE Several planned endorsements for county Supervisor Dave Roberts are in limbo after accusations by former staff members about his treatment of employees and use of public resources to aid his re-election effort.

It’s the latest challenge for the North County politician that comes on the heels of a one-sided breakup with his campaign consultant and a slowdown in his fundraising.

With at least one opponent planning to run against him in the June primary and others considering it, Roberts finds himself personally financing more than half of his campaign, working with a new consultant, and redoing his plan for endorsements.

His new campaign manager, Gary Gartner, said he isn’t worried, and the re-election effort is on a new but stable course.

“The election is under a year away, so we’re going to be reorganizing a re-election campaign this fall, and we’ll move forward with endorsements and other things we do in a campaign,” Gartner said.

San Diego political consultant Tom Shepard parted ways with Roberts in the spring.

Roberts’ political future has become uncertain after three women in his office who resigned in April filed claims with the county that allege the supervisor used public resources in his re-election campaign, had an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate, and offered an employee a raise and promotion in exchange for misleading a county human resources inquiry into his of-

fice.

Roberts has rejected all the accusations, and none of those ex-staffers has filed a lawsuit.

Nevertheless, Democrats and Republicans alike, as well as business leaders and some labor groups, have put the brakes on endorsements for Roberts’ campaign.

In all, 21 endorsements that Roberts planned to unveil this spring never happened.

A schedule for trumpeting the endorsements was included in an internal memo that the supervisor’s former policy adviser, Lindsey Masukawa, included in her claim.

State and local press, “Local San Diego insiders/electeds” and “Sacramento chattering class folks,” were all supposed to hear about these early endorsements to create “a drumbeat among insiders about Dave’s inevitability,” the document says.

Sheriff Bill Gore was the first to dial down his support. In a statement to NBC 7 in June, he said that “In light of the recent allegations made by staff members, I have had further discussions with Supervisor Dave Roberts and advised him that I was deferring my endorsement to a later date.”

Gore was out of his office Tuesday and could not be reached for comment.

Pam Slater-Price, Roberts’ predecessor on the board and one of the most high-profile supporters in his 2012 campaign, said she’s taking a wait-and-see approach before backing Roberts for re-election. She was scheduled to endorse him on March 26, but said she has had ongoing concerns about how he was running his office even before See ROBERTS, page 14

Pedestrian killed by train near Leucadia Oaks Park

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A Coaster train killed a man Aug. 12 near Leucadia Oaks Park.

The pedestrian, who was not immediately identified, was struck shortly after 12:20 p.m. on the train tracks in the 1500 block of North Coast Highway across from the park, authorities said.

Witnesses saw the man walk toward the railroad tracks as the train was approaching, according to a San Diego County Sheriff’s Department press release.

The train operator activated the horn and emergency braking system, but was unable to stop the train before it struck the man who was pronounced dead at the scene. The Sheriff’s Department was investigating the death.

The North County Transit District reported via Twitter that passengers would be taken from the Encinitas station to the Oceanside Transit Center via bus while the tracks were being inspected.

Pedestrian struck by truck on freeway on-ramp

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A 55-year-old woman illegally crossed a freeway on-ramp and was hit by a truck in Encinitas, suffering head trauma and a possible fractured left leg, a sheriff’s sergeant said.

The woman walked against a red light at the Encinitas Boulevard on-ramp to southbound Interstate 5 around 8:10 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 8, and was struck, said sheriff’s Sgt. C. Ingraham.

The truck had a green arrow and made a left turn to enter the freeway.

Its driver did not see the woman until she was hit, Ingraham said. The woman was taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla.

The driver was cooperative with investigators. Ingraham said he did not believe alcohol was involved in the crash.

Planter boxes now awaiting gardeners

BY JARED WHITLOCK Looking to rent a wooden planter box at the Encinitas Community Garden?

Now is the time.

This week, garden organizers announced plot prices and that they’re taking rental applications at encinitascommunitygarden.org.

Last month, the community garden, at 441 Quail Gardens Drive, broke ground after years of permit delays.

Planter boxes measuring 10 by 10 feet will cost $120 a year, and boxes that are 5 feet by 10 feet will run $60 annually. The start-up fee for both sizes is $50.

A ribbon-cutting for the community garden is slated for Oct. 3 at a time that’s yet to be set, according to Gordon Smith, president of the nonprofit Encinitas Community Garden. The community garden will initially have about 60 planter boxes, with more planned.

The garden aims to teach residents how to grow organic produce, particularly those who live in apart-

Surfrider takes legal action to back Coastal Commission in Encinitas seawall case

Photo by Jared Whitlock ments or don’t have gardening space. Tools will be provided, and instructors will be on hand.

Over the last month, volunteers have built planter boxes, set up irrigation lines and more — but work remains.

Volunteers are encouraged to lend a hand at the garden site from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 15.

The community garden is roughly one acre, and the nonprofit is leasing the space from the Encinitas Union School District, which recently started Farm Lab on the surrounding land to bolster nutrition, science and agriculture education.

In July, garden organizers obtained all the necessary permits, ending a six-year quest to start the garden. At that time, organizers stated that with the city working on an urban agriculture ordinance to relax permit rules, they’re hopeful that future community gardens in Encinitas will have an easier path forward.

BY JARED WHITLOCK San Diego Surfrider Foundation on Aug. 7 took legal action to support the California Coastal Commission in a potentially precedent-setting case over an Encinitas seawall.

Surfrider’s move follows a June announcement that it’s backing the coastal commission’s ability to review and put a 20-year time limit on a Grandview Beach seawall.

Pacific Legal Foundation, representing two Encinitas homeowners, sued the coastal commission, arguing that the agency’s power to reassess the need for a seawall in 20 years infringes on private property rights.

Late last year, the California Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, potentially affecting the lifespan of seawalls across the state.

Surfrider’s supportive “friend of the court� legal brief argues that diminished coastal commission oversight could lead to limited beach access and recreational opportunities, according to a Surfrider press release.

The group has stated that seawalls choke off sand that’s key for maintaining healthy beaches and wave quality.

With a Grandview Beach seawall behind them, San Diego Surfrider staff and volunteers in June voiced support for the California Coastal Commission’s power to review seawalls. Surfrider on Aug. 7 filed a “friend of the court� legal brief to back the commission. Photo by Jared Whitlock “We are confident the court will uphold the longstanding California tradition of preserving affordable public access to the coast,� said Staley Prom, Surfrider Foundation’s legal associate, in the press release.

The press release also cited a Stanford Law School study that found “coastal armoring has diminished California’s beaches.�

A 2010 storm destroyed the 100-foot wide Grandview Beach seawall. The coastal commission approved a new seawall on the condition it expires in 20 years. At that point, the homeowners would have to reapply to the commission and, if denied, the wall would be torn down.

The homeowners, Thomas Frick and neighbor Barbara Lynch, have said that a 20-year limit on their joint seawall would hurt their property values and put their homes at risk.

In June, attorney J. David Breemer, with Pacific Legal Foundation, said the California Coastal Act gives homeowners the right to protect their property if it’s threatened. He also stated that it’s unrealistic to never have seawalls.

The California Supreme Court is expected to hear the case later this year.

Scripps Encinitas seeks sponsors for Healing Arts Collection pieces • Public invited to preview, underwrite artwork at Aug. 27 event: ‘Art has a healing aspect to it’

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The days of the white-walled hospital are long gone, as research has shown art can help patients and families in the healing process.

Looking to bring more color to the hospital and raise funds for expansion efforts, Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas is inviting the community to view renderings of artwork and sponsor the pieces on Aug. 27, during the Healing Arts Collection at Scripps Encinitas, held at Make in Carlsbad.

Once completed, the art pieces will be displayed in family waiting areas and corridors at the Leichtag Foundation Critical Care Pavilion at Scripps Encinitas.

“Any kind of stress that our patients experience is not good,” said Dr. Randall Goskowicz, anesthesiologist and medical director of the operating room at Scripps Encinitas. “All of these works will be from artists that are concentrating on local themes. That’s going to enhance people’s sense of comfort when they come into this facility.”

From carvings and paintings to mosaics and sculptures, the collection includes 29 original installations showcasing images of nature and serenity that are reflective of North San Diego County scenery.

“When you’re in the hospital, you’re usually under a lot of stress, whether you’re a patient, family or friend,” said Encinitas philanthropist Paul Ecke III. “Art has a healing aspect to it. There’s already artwork at Scripps Encinitas, but this would bring a whole bunch more.

Artwork is a positive for the hospital and the hospital grounds.”

Ecke has a long history of giving back to Encinitas and the greater San Diego region.

He became actively involved with the campaign for Scripps Encinitas about five years ago, championing fundraising efforts to support the construction of what is now known as the Leichtag Foundation Critical Care Pavilion. Opened in 2014, the critical-care building includes a new 26-bed emergency department and inpatient rooms at Scripps Encinitas.

The 72,321-square-foot Leichtag Foundation Critical Care Pavilion is the centerpiece of the hospital’s $94 million second phase of expansion, which also includes a new central energy plant, new medical imaging technology and various infrastructure improvements on and around the medical campus.

After a close friend of Ecke’s had a heart attack and was treated at Scripps Encinitas, Ecke remained involved in the hospital’s fundraising, now with an even clearer purpose in mind.

“Those are the kind of things that open up your eyes,” said Ecke, who serves on the community advisory board and the kitchen cabinet of the community advisory board at

You’re never going to die. As you get a little older, you realize health care actually is important.

“I’m glad to be involved then and I’m glad to be involved now.”

By sponsoring a signature piece of the Healing Arts Collection, donors will support the addition of new, inspiring artwork for the hospital as well as its expansion efforts. Sponsorship for each piece begins at $25,000.

Solana Beach artist Christie Beniston specializes in creating art for public spaces, such as her large-scale mosaics and sculptures along Highway 101 and at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, Flower Hill Promenade and Rady Children’s Hospital. She also designed a fountain mosaic at Scripps Encinitas.

Listed at $200,000, Beniston’s proposed piece for Scripps Encinitas is another fountain mosaic called “Endless Knot.” The abstract pattern weaves in and out of a diagonal “knot,” representing continuity, longevity and resilience, she said.

“All throughout my career, but especially at this point, it’s been really important for me to create work with meaning,” said Beniston, who has lived in Solana Beach since 1995.

“Public art changes the space and the way you feel about the space that you’re in. I think in a healing environment, it’s so important to create those areas where you can just be and reflect.”

Encinitas artist Deanne Sabeck creates sculptural installations of light, using glass that is bent, cast and sometimes etched with text or imagery.

Already funded for $50,000, Sabeck’s glass and steel sculpture will feature an infinity See ARTS, page 14

“Point Break Live!” is a spoof of the 1991 cult film “Point Break,” starring Keanu Reeves. The show is at 7 p.m. on Aug. 30 at The Belly Up. Courtesy photo

Interactive play pays homage to cult favorite flick ‘Point Break’

BY JARED WHITLOCK Ever dreamed of starring in the 1991 cult favorite movie “Point Break”? Now is your chance.

“Point Break Live!” — 7 p.m. Aug. 30 at The Belly Up — parodies “Point Break,” which features Keanu Reeves as an FBI agent who infiltrates a gang of surfers who rob banks.

The live action play begins with a twist — the audience picks who among them will play Reeves’ role, Johnny Utah, alongside professional actors. The person who is chosen is handed a wetsuit and fed lines via cue cards.

“The person is led around like a deer in headlights, and that’s sort of Keanu’s thing — the deer-in-headlights look — so it works out really well,” said Thomas Blake, the play’s director and producer, with a laugh.

Blake said the show is a tribute to the movie’s unintentionally hilarious dialogue and action (a fan favorite from “Point Break” — Reeves firing a gun into the air and yelling).

The live show re-enacts “Point Break” from start to finish, so count on robbers in Richard Nixon masks, skydiving and an epic 50-year storm — re-created with squirt guns.

Blake described it as “rock ’n’ roll theater.”

“It’s theater for people who don’t necessarily like theater,” he said. Blake added: “The stigma that theater is super-controlled and only for older crowds — we shatter that whole thing.”

Blake, who grew up surfing in North Carolina, said “Point Break” was a guilty pleasure as a teen.

“From a surfer’s point of view, it’s so bad that it’s so good.”

In 2007, Blake leapt at the chance to direct West Coast productions of the show, saying he’s proud to be involved in a project both his surfer and theater friends can appreciate. And the movie’s cast apparently enjoys the play, too.

Actor Gary Busey, who portrayed Angelo Pappas, Johnny Utah’s FBI mentor in the film, played Johnny Utah during a “Point Break Live!” show a few years back.

“We couldn’t get him off the stage,” Blake said. The movie’s director, Kathryn Bigelow, came to a show in 2007 and is also a fan. But what about Reeves?

“We haven’t gotten him to come yet,” Blake said. He jokingly added that if the actor shows up, he hopes he’ll be picked to portray Johnny Utah.

Blake said the goal is to keep the play fresh, so the script is constantly reworked.

And it helps, he added, that a new Johnny Utah is picked every show — everyone from an 85-year-old man to a guy who didn’t speak English has played the part.

“Point Break Live!” is a staple in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and Blake said The Belly Up was chosen to host the play, given the concentration of surfers in the area. If it’s a success, the play could be regularly held there, he said.

“We’re testing the waters,” he said.

He added that the play appeals to a wide audience, but surfers will find it especially funny.

“Surfers pick up on some of the more subtle things in the movie that are cheesy or aren’t quite realistic. Like one shot will be 12-foot waves in Hawaii, and then the next shot will be 2-foot waves at El Porto.”

10 years later, Hurricane Katrina inspires recollection by Encinitas author

BY ROB LEDONNE Ten years ago this month, Encinitas screenwriter Jennifer Gremillion was living in New Orleans, not realizing that a storm brewing deep into the Atlantic Ocean would change her and her family’s lives forever. “It was a very difficult time,� Gremillion recalled. “Everyone was rattled.�

Her experience through the ferocious storm is the focus of her book “Life Storms: Hurricane Katrina / Surviving Life Storms Through Thriving Life Scripts,� a harrowing, emotional, and inspirational look at the upheaval Katrina brought to Gremillion’s family and many others. “Everyone had to make the decision to either stay or go,� she noted of the evacuation process. “That night we drove to Baton Rouge, and what should have been a onehour drive took nine. The trip started off with my grandmother reversing her car and wrecking it, so it was very stressful.�

When the storm hit, the house Gremillion and her family lived in was destroyed and they lost all of their possessions. In addition, her mother in-law lost not only her business but her own house.

Throughout such turmoil, Gremillion kept a positive attitude. “Losing everything was freeing because it allows you to realize the material stuff doesn’t own you,� she explained.

After the storm, the Gremillions moved

13 times over the course of the next couple of months, finally winding up and starting over in Encinitas, a place they now consider home. “A family here in San Diego wanted to help victims of the storm without writing a check,� Gremillion said of her impetus to move to North County. “We got here when there was a lot going on, so we weren’t sure if we should stay. But we did.�

A writer by trade, she first became enamored with the craft after watching the 1997 film, “Good Will Hunting.� Inspired by the movie’s script, she became a screenwriter, writing comedies and dramas and even a sitcom. “Life Storms� marks not only her first book, but her first time writing about a personal experience. “For me, the hard part was figuring out what I’m going to share and what I’m going to hold back,� she said. “In this book, there is no holding back. It’s very transparent.�

Part of her mission to share as much as possible in the book includes talking about one of her sons, who has the rare disease giant pigmented nevus — a life-threatening skin condition — and happened to have a major surgery scheduled for just days after the hurricane. “The scariest part of that time was my son’s disease,� said Gremillion. “Right now my son is doing great, but we were told he

Graphic designer expands her palette to include software, sewing

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Soothing aqua blue, lime green and shades of coral dominate the palette of fine artist Laura Cunningham. Her skill in graphic design and her eye for evoking a tranquil beauty combine to create artworks that are calming, reflecting scenes found in the North County coastal area.

Defining her work as mixed-media, Cunningham said her pieces start with a photograph. Many of the shots are of Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, close to where she has her studio. That just begins the process.

“I look at the image and know that I will be doing a lot of manipulation to it,” she said.

The initial digital photograph doesn’t have to be perfect. She crops the image, adds layers of color and combines it with graphic design to demonstrate the moods and essence of the ocean.

“Sometimes I’ll put in layers to make it look aged, or sometimes I’ll add circles to the image,” said Cunningham, who said that she feels that circles are very soothing.

“I don’t like the images to be straightforward and pure,” she explained. “I like them to be pulled into the graphic world.”

Cunningham’s tools include computer image software, an industrial-sized printer that transfers her enhanced photographic images onto canvas, and a sewing machine, which she uses to add textural interest and contrasting color to her pieces. Many of her works have loose threads hanging from the canvas, deliberately so. “I tell people if they want to cut them off, they can,” she joked.

The completed canvas is surrounded by a hand-made frame. “I use yardsticks and paint on them and I distress them. I also use cigar boxes and collage onto them,” she said.

Each piece is not complete until it has a small tag stapled to the side that contains a simple quotation that matches the image’s theme. “That’s why I call my work mixed-media, because there is a lot going on in them.”

Born and raised in Laguna Beach, Cunningham has spent most of her life in southern California. She attended

Cal State Long Beach, completing a bachelor’s degree in fine art, then received her MFA in Graphic Design from The Academy of Art in San Francisco.

Cunningham came to North County for a work opportunity as a graphic designer for No Fear apparel, taking photographs of the merchandise, editing them and designing the complete layout of the catalogs. “It was a good experience for me, because I got thrown into a lot of responsibility right off the bat,” she said.

Other opportunities came in publication design until Cunningham opened up her studio in Encinitas where prospective clients may visit by appointment.

Pieces of Cunningham’s work are available from Bliss 101 in Encinitas, in Charisma in Coronado and in several other coastal galleries and in retail showrooms in Laguna Beach and Hillcrest. She will be taking part in Art Walk NTC at Liberty Station during the weekend of Aug. 15-16, having been juried in with just four other North County artists.

A high point this year is that Cunningham was also juried in to take part in the three-day Kaaboo arts festival at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, Sept. 18-20, and has an exhibition at the Encinitas Library from Aug. 10 through Sept. 10.

‘Emotional Footprint’ important to consider on path of life, writes local psychiatrist

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Aware of our carbon footprint, most of us consider the impact we have on the future of our world. But local psychiatrist Dr. Saul Levine believes we also need to consider the “emotional footprint” we leave behind.

“We all affect each other — and sometimes in minute ways,” he said. “This goes for families, it goes for friends, it goes for people on the streets and in stores.”

In his book, “Our Emotional Footprint: Ordinary People and Their Extra-Ordinary Lives,” Levine shares a series of reality-inspired novellas that follow the life stories of 10 different passengers in a single railcar.

These individuals embody the extraordinary relationships, life changes and unexpected events that make up the “ordinary” human experience. Through the lens of the four Bs — being, belonging, believing and benevolence — the book examines their lives, how they’ve affected others in the course of their lives, and how they may have been resilient in the face of defeat and gracious in times of success.

“Where does this book belong? It belongs everywhere,” said Levine.

Born in Montreal, Québec, Levine earned his bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate’s degrees from McGill University. While living in Toronto, he served as professor of psychiatry and head of the department of psychiatry at Sunnybrook Health Science Centre at the University of Toronto from 1970 to 1993.

Now professor emeritus in psychiatry at UC San Diego, Levine has worked at the university ever since relocating to Del Mar in 1993.

In 2011, he retired as professor of clinical psychiatry and head of the department of psychiatry at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego. He continues to teach at the medical school, has a private psychotherapy practice with patients of all ages, and serves as an expert witness and mediator in family and civil disputes.

ENCINITAS

2015 VW Jetta S Dr. Saul Levine has written “Our Emotional Footprint.” Courtesy photos has published five other books and is published widely in magazines, newspapers and scholarly journals.

Although he didn’t start his latest book until his retirement, “I’ve been thinking about writing this book for many years, and it all came together when I came down here,” Levine said.

One of the inspirations behind “Our Emotional Footprint” was Levine’s late father. His father escaped the brutalities in Europe before World War II and came to the “New World” as a young man.

“My father came over from Europe impoverished,” Levine recalled. “We had no money as a young family.”

Despite disappointments, his father, Mike Levine, always remained resilient.

“He was my model,” Levine continued. “He was grateful that he escaped the Nazis, he was grateful that he was given a place to live. He worked hard all his life. He taught me appreciation of life. He was always grateful.”

The book is intended to encourage readers to evaluate their own lives. After working with people for decades, Levine developed a theory that he said helps them to do so.

“Everybody wants to be rich and materialistic and get all the toys we can get,” he said. “But when you’re alone and thinking about whether you’re satisfied with your life, it ain’t the toys. It’s never the toys.”

Levine observed that humans are “remarkably resilient.”

His father’s story is just one example of how resilient human beings can be in the face of adversity, a concept he explores further in his book.

“We all have setbacks and we all overcome them — most of the time,” he said.

“Nobody gets away unscathed,” he added. “All our lives are dramatic. We all have loves and we all have losses. We all have failures and we all have successes. That’s life.”

With that in mind, Levine developed the theory behind his new book. We all need to consider the “emotional footprint” we leave on our loved ones, our community and for the next generation, he said.

“We’re not paying attention to how we affect each other — how we can be intolerant, nasty, rude, disrespectful, demeaning,” he said. “People are, and when they do, it has a negative consequence.”

Referring again to his father, Levine said he left no valuable personal belongings behind. He did, however, leave a “positive emotional footprint.”

“When he passed away, the world was poorer for it,” he said. “It lost a good soul.”

Levine hopes the book, published in April, will inspire readers to evaluate their lives as they read about the lives of the 10 railcar passengers.

“We really have to think in terms of our emotional legacies and what we’re teaching our kids,” Levine said.

“Emotional Footprint” is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iUniverse Bookstore.

ROBERTS

continued from page 2

news of the resignations broke.

“I felt he had to show he was competent to run his office and do a good job as Supe rather than constantly running for office!” the Republican said in an email. “I didn’t see that was happening and I was very disappointed, so I no longer wanted to support him until he could demonstrate that he had his head straight and wanted to really dedicate himself to run his office, earn the respect of his staff and settle into the job. I treated my job very seriously for 20 years, and I expected that he’d do the same.”

Even so, she said she hasn’t seen anyone else she would rather endorse. Escondido Mayor Sam Abed, a Republican, is the only announced opponent to the Democratic supervisor.

Gartner said much of the current political climate facing Roberts was created by what he says are false accusations from disgruntled ex-staffers, and that he hopes Slater-Price will eventually endorse Roberts.

“Pam is a good friend and a longtime supporter, and we hope in the end she will support Dave, because he’s the best candidate running, based upon his leadership and actual votes, not the politics,” Gartner said.

Others, including Assembly Speaker

Toni Atkins and Reps. Scott Peters and Juan Vargas — all San Diego Democrats — and Republican District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis were lined up to endorse the supervisor this March and April.

None has done so yet.

Gartner said other endorsements are in the works.

Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner said she’s backing Roberts.

“I intend to. I think he’s doing a great job for us,” she said, noting that the allegations against him haven’t been definitively proved, one way or the other.

“His positions and policies are what’s important for me,” she added.

Gartner said changes in political support and the campaign and the inner workings of Roberts’ office aren’t something voters seem to care much about.

“I don’t think that voters are concerned about the internal workings of an office and employees who quit their jobs. I think they’re concerned about their performance in office, and having a supervisor who is in their community in an active way,” he said.

He noted that the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association of San Diego County and San Diego City Firefighters Local 145 still plan to endorse Roberts.

Commissioner Peter Kohl supported the commission action, but said enforcement could be an problem, since parking violations aren’t necessarily a priority for the Sheriff’s Department.

“Sometimes it may take a while before a patrol deputy or traffic deputy can even show up,” Kohl said.

Residents also complained that having so many cars on Seacrest Way makes it difficult for street cleaners to get rid of debris.

new ordinance should include this calculation method.

“The council has spoken, if you will, for now on that issue,” O’Grady said.

However, during the public hearing, several people representing development interests took issue with rounding down and other ordinance provisions.

David Meyer of DCM Properties said the ordinance runs contrary to the state law and will land the city in court again.

“This ordinance’s intent is clear: to obstruct and discourage the use of density bonus in Encinitas,” Meyer said. Earlier, he stated density bonus law is designed to encourage affordable housing, and Encinitas is the “poster child” for why the law exists.

Resident Gerald Sodomka countered that the reality of density bonus doesn’t match the law’s intent. He said a density bonus developer pledges one or two affordable units, and the extra homes granted are sold at market rate.

“We’re not getting a lot of affordable units under this law,” Sodomka said.

Others argued that density bonus projects stuff too many homes onto parcels, hurting neighborhood character.

When compared with the rounding-down method, the rounding-up formula typically results in at least one additional market rate home in a density bonus project.

For example, take a lot with 1.4 acres of developable land that’s zoned for a maximum of eight dwellings per acre. City zoning would allow 11 units, but if a density bonus developer reserves one home as affordable, the rounding-up formula would net 16 total units, versus 15 with the rounding-down formula, according to Planning Director Jeff Murphy.

Another major part of the ordinance states that affordable homes in density bonus developments must be “of decent quality and comparable” to their market rate counterparts.

This relaxes the council’s prior rule, which stated that affordable homes are required to be at least 75 percent of the size of market rate density bonus dwellings. Legal counsel advised the city that it’s illegal to demand specific size requirements for affordable units, but it’s legally OK to say they must be comparable to market rate homes.

The Planning Commission’s vote was 4-0. Commissioner Tony Brandenburg was absent from the meeting.

symbol “signifying the infinite wisdom and connection of the mind, body and soul to heal itself.”

“I firmly believe that art has a lot of power in helping people keep a positive attitude, which is really important for any kind of trauma or healing,” said Sabeck, a 25-year Encinitas resident, who has previously installed art at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. “The mind-body connection is really significant when dealing with health issues.”

With the event just weeks away, doctors, nurses and staff are also getting involved.

Goskowicz, who has been an anesthesiologist at Scripps Encinitas since 1999, has participated in the hospital’s philanthropic efforts for years. He also helped raise funds for the critical-care building.

“Now that we’re raising money for the operating room, which is nearer and dearer to my heart, it’s an obvious choice to be involved,” he said.

Goskowicz’s medical group, Anesthesia Service Medical Group, is sponsoring one of the paintings, which will be displayed near

the operating room.

“We are a community hospital. This is our place,” said Goskowicz, a Carmel Valley resident whose children and parents have been treated at the hospital. “My goal has always been to not lose that close community-feel to our facility, while at the same time, enhance our capabilities.”

The event will take place from 5-8 p.m.

Aug. 27 at the Make office campus, formerly the Floral Trade Center, at 5600 Avenida Encinas in Carlsbad. Registration is required for the event.

“This is a way for people to get involved,” Ecke said. “People don’t always think about hospitals and emergency care.

But when you need the medical services of your local hospital, which for me and many of my neighbors is Scripps Encinitas, that’s the only thing that matters. That’s why I’m passionate about it. I don’t ever want to go there as a patient, but boy, am I glad that they’ve got great facilities and great staff.”

Fourteen past presidents of the Del Mar-Leucadia Branch of the American Association of University Women celebrate the 60th anniversary of the branch (1955-2015). Back (L-R): Joan Adamo, Sharon McKenzie, Joanna Schwend, Karen Gallagher, Edith Fine, Jacque McGee; Front (L-R): Jane Sanders, Barbara Bladen, Carol Smith, Nancy Kohrs, Margaret Edwards, Darlene Palmer, Fran Miller, Pat Kellenbarger, Barbara Jenkins Lee.

AAUW Del Mar-Leucadia Branch celebrates 60th anniversary The Del Mar-Leucadia Branch of the American Association of University Women recently celebrated its 60th anniversary. Fourteen past branch presidents representing six decades of leadership attended the event and shared their memories of past branch activities. Margaret Edwards, a founding member of the branch and a past president (1959-1960), recalled the early issues which led to the founding of the Del Mar-Leucadia Branch in 1955 to serve the north coastal communities. She also installed the 2015-2016 Board of Directors.

Guest speaker Gabriella Chan, a branch college scholarship recipient, spoke about her dreams and her goal of becoming a physician assistant. She is majoring in Biological Sciences at California State University San Marcos where she is on the Dean’s List.

Outgoing branch president Fran Miller thanked the members for their support of the branch mission to empower all women and girls. As a result of member commitment to that mission, the branch sent eight girls to Tech Trek camp at UCSD this summer and awarded five college scholarships. Members donated money to AAUW Funds which will support fellowships and grants, promote research into issues affecting women and girls, and continue to fight sex discrimination on the field, in the classroom, and on campus to ensure all students have access to education.

Branch member Arleen von Schlieder was honored as the 2014-2015 Named Gift Honoree for her commitment to the branch, her focus on increasing the membership and her willingness to step up and organize several successful branch activities.

At its first board meeting, the incoming Board of Directors elected and appointed the branch officers and chairs. Leading the branch for 2015-2016 are President Linda Quinby, Vice President Erma Cox, Recording Secretary Jackie Stone, Treasurer Bobbi Karnes, Membership Sharon Connors and Sharon Corbett-Parry, Programs Arleen von Schlieder and Judy Howarter, AAUW Funds Fran Miller and Kathy Zacher, Public Policy Andrea Henne, College Scholarships Barbara Bladen, Tech Trek Betty Reed, College/University Liaison Marcy Senese and Parliamentarian Nancy Kohrs.

Membership in the American Association of University Women is open to all graduates who hold an associate or higher degree from a regionally accredited college or university.

The Del Mar-Leucadia Branch reflects the varied interests of its members with informative, educational monthly programs and special interest groups such as Great Decisions, dining groups, book groups, film groups and Gadabout. For more information, visit www.delmarleucadia-ca.aauw.net.

of taxpayer dollars There are lots of PR pieces out now about the “Farm Lab.” The recent description of the EUSD FarmLab program in the newspapers and local magazines, by EUSD Superintendent Timothy Baird and the Leichtag Foundation, is misleading and would be laughable if it wasn’t another example of public servants throwing away taxpayer dollars for pet projects destined to fail.

Not only is funding for the Farm Lab coming mostly out of Prop P funds, which was pitched to taxpayers as a necessary debt to cover technology and construction upgrades to aging schools — not to build a farm — but the food production claimed by EUSD and the Farm Director are outright false.

Much of the food they grew was grown at other sites or were started in a greenhouse and transplanted to the “farm.”

This is theater, not agriculture. There’s not a farmer among them.

It costs approximately $30,000 per month just to hold on to the “Farm Lab.” In addition, the EUSD board and Baird have borrowed and spent over $1.5 million on the Farm Lab to date and plan to spend much more. Received a $10,000 grant? That only covers carrying costs for about 10 days. They would have to grow and sell 60,000 heads of lettuce every month all year long just to break even. Why are they giving away produce at the expense of students? Sustainable?

If our nine Encinitas elementary schools had fully funded libraries, art programs, science programs, physical education programs, music programs and a full staff of educators, then maybe?

Where in the language of Prop P does it say we can make this type of expenditure? What does this have to do with educating elementary school children? Do you really think the voters are on board with this? I guess we will see.

Want to see the Farm Lab, or “Food Forest,” as it was comically referred to? Drive by the chain-link-fenced lot on Quail Gardens Drive and have a look at what millions of your tax dollars buys.

Comfortable 3rd Corner offers unique approach with wines

BY KELLEY CARLSON Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a corner in The Lumberyard where locals wine, dine and unwind.

That would be The 3rd Corner, a wine shop and bistro owned by Ed Moore, open in Encinitas since 2008. (The flagship location in Ocean Beach opened two years earlier.)

Rather than perusing a lengthy list, patrons can walk around and shop for wines to enjoy with their meals. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something to fit every budget, with prices from $7 to $2,000. More than 800 wineries from around the world are represented, and the bottles are sold at retail price and opened tableside for a $5 corkage fee.

Customers may also take their bottles â&#x20AC;&#x153;to go,â&#x20AC;? and 3rd Corner Wine Club members can receive 15 percent off their purchase.

Third Cornerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach to wine is much easier on the pocketbook than that of other restaurants, as General Manager T.J. Ryan noted that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common practice to significantly mark up vintages.

The restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fare is also moderately priced, with entrees typically in the $18 to $20 range. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s served late into the evening, giving night owls an alternative to taco stands and fast-food restaurants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can get a nice meal at midnight,â&#x20AC;?

Ryan pointed out.

For example, guests can start with the Grilled Shrimp Skewer appetizer, drizzled with creamy lemon vin, resting on a bed of corn salad. Another option is the Cheese & Salami Plate, a smorgasbord of artisan cheeses, meats, fruits, date jam and pecans.

As for main dishes, one of the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signatures is the Pan Seared Sea Scallops. These soft, buttery mollusks are among a medley of tomatoes, garlic, capers, olives,

green beans and potatoes, dressed with beurre blanc. Another standout entree is the Duck Confit.

Other highlights include the Braised Beef Shortrib, featuring tender meat atop creamy mashed potatoes, surrounded by carrots and green beans; and the flavorful Mushroom Risotto with truffle oil, asparagus and Parmesan.

To round off the dinner, there are desserts such as Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding.

A three-course prix fixe menu is available from 5 to 9 p.m. Sundays for $19, with an optional wine pairing for $10 more.

Guests who want an earlier meal are treated to sandwiches and salads such as the Local Kale Kitchen Sink, with tender greens grown on a nearby farm and a variety of veggies.

Also, brunch is served from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. For $20.95, diners receive mimosas and a choice of entree, such as Chef Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hash or the Capâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n Crunch French Toast.

While 3rd Corner places a strong emphasis on wine, other libations are offered.

Cocktails range from the summery Pineapple-Elderflower Martini, sprinkled with thyme, to the Spicy Watermelon Martini, with a cayenne-sugar-ringed glass rim, and the tangy Blood Orange Margarita.

The 3rd Corner, at 897 S. Coast Highway, Suite F-104, is open from 11:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday and 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Monday. Starting Labor Day, Sept. 7, the restaurant will be closed Mondays.

Happy hour is from 3 to 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. to close, Monday through Saturday.

• Recognition by San Diego Magazine in its April 2015 issue, “Best of North County,” for “Best Outdoorsy Programming,” • Funding for a major Conservancy initiative, the River Path Del Mar extension project, to be completed by December 2015.

“Savvy donors want to see the impact of their donations more than ever,” said Perla Ni, CEO of GreatNonprofits. “People with direct experience with SDRVC have voted that the organization is making a real difference.”

The Top-Rated Nonprofit Award was based on the large number of positive reviews that the SDRVC received — written by volunteers, donors and clients. People posted their personal experiences with the Conservancy.

In addition, the Conservancy will be added to GreatNonprofits #GivingTuesday Guide — an interactive guide to top nonprofits through the years. Look for this near the holidays.
