BY JARED WHITLOCK Jorge Partida, 15, has only been surfing a handful of times. But he’s quickly getting the hang of it.

“I’m helping teach these guys how to surf,” Partida said after exiting the water at Seaside Reef, referring to friends who are also part of Boys to Men Mentoring Network.

Boys to Men connects at-risk boys with male role models to keep them out of trouble and improve access to higher education. Teen boys take part in special school programs, weekend camping trips and twilight surf hangouts, where they learn to surf and get to know each other better.

They hit the waves for the latest surf hangout Aug. 5 at Seaside Reef in Cardiff.

Organizers explained many of the boys in the program are from single parent, low-income households, so they rarely get the chance to surf, let alone hangout at the beach.

Partida said the event is but one way Boys to Men has helped him.

When he was younger, he wasn’t sure how to talk about issues he was going through.

“I felt like counselors didn’t quite understand me,” Partida said. But those in Boys to Men did. He added the program “opened up a lot of options for me to become a better man.”

As part of the program, mentors and the boys meet in a group setting, and anyone in the room is welcome to share personal challenges and emotions with others free of judgment. One-on-one mentoring is also a big component.

“It’s all about doing right by your family and community, and being honest with yourself,” said Boys to Men cofounder Joe Sigurdson.

Encinitas district exploring how to use funds from sale of Pacific View property

Lawsuit challenges Encinitas’ campaign sign ordinance

BY JARED WHITLOCK The Encinitas Union School District recently sold the Pacific View property to the city of Encinitas for $10 million. Now, the district is exploring how to use the funds.

Under a draft district plan, $5 million would go toward school upgrades and energy projects, and the other half would be invested in bonds to pay for future technology upgrades.

The district board is slated to weigh in on the draft proposal at its next regular board meeting at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 18 at the district’s office, 101 S. Rancho Santa Fe Road, Encinitas.

BY JARED WHITLOCK A lawsuit filed July 30 in a federal district court argues that Encinitas’ campaign sign ordinance violates the public’s right to free speech.

City rules prohibit property owners from posting more than two temporary yard signs. The exceptions are 30 days before an election and three days after, when an unlimited number of signs are allowed.

The lawsuit, filed by the local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the law firm Morrison Foerster, seeks to declare the two-sign cap and enforcement of it unconstitutional. And it seeks recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs.

“Political signs are one of the few means of speech guaranteed to reach people in the community,” said David Loy, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of San Diego and Imperial Counties. “They can change the channel or close the website, but they can’t turn off a sign in someone’s yard.”

Loy said the two-sign cap infringes on First Amendment rights, especially given the numerous federal, state

The Encinitas Union School District is looking at how to spend money from the Pacific View sale.

$10K grant helps Farm Lab’s neighborly ‘food forest’ take root

BY JARED WHITLOCK Much is sprouting at the Encinitas Union School District’s 10-acre Farm Lab, from crops for school lunches to a community garden. And another project recently broke ground: a “food forest.”

The idea is to give the community the chance to pick, at no cost, from fruit trees, vegetables and berry plants lining the western edge of the Farm Lab property at 441 Quail Gardens Drive. That way, residents have easy access to fresh produce.

“Farm Lab will educate students, and the food forest will reach their families and the community by teaching them about health and environmental education,” said Mim Michelove, director of Farm Lab. The food forest also aims to give to those in need. Produce from it will be donated to St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church food pantry and the Community Resource Center in downtown Encinitas.

The Encinitas school district recently received a $10,000 grant from Seeds of Change for the food forest. During a grant presentation recently, Michelove outlined plans for the agriculture feature while flanked by the first fruit trees.

Seeds of Change, an organic seed and food company, awarded $200,000 in grants this year across the nation to support sustainable farming.

Recently, the fence at the western border of Farm Lab was moved back, allowing more room for the roughly 150-yard-long food forest. Soon, the land there will be tilled, and Michelove expects the district will plant many fruit trees and other produce in October.

Artichokes and other crops will grow rather quickly, but it could be a year or two before much of the food forest is ripe for community picking. Right now, the district is looking at planting seven to 10 tree varieties, from olives to figs.

Once the first big harvest comes around, signs will go up to explain the purpose of the food forest, and that yes, anyone can forage, Michelove said.

Although the food forest will be set back several feet from the sidewalk, the district is going to see whether the city will install a short fence alongside the road to make the public feel safer, she stated.

Michelove is no stranger to food forests. She was a driving force behind Ocean Knoll Elementary Farm, which already has a food forest. One of her takeaways from the experience: The produce must be accessible to the public.

“People don’t always want to reach over the fence at Ocean Knoll,” she said.

Michelove said the district will probably put in irrigation lines to water the food forest in its first year. But beyond that, it’s looking at drought-friendly infrastructure like “curb cuts” to capture rainwater from Quail Gardens Drive and divert it to the food forest.

“We don’t want to disrupt the sidewalk,” she said. “So we’re going to have to come up with some clever engineering solutions to get the water out of the street, but under the sidewalk, and to the trees.”

She added: “Rainwater that comes off of a street comes with pollution, so the plants that we put in around the trees will start to purify that water.”

The district will keep a close eye on the food forest to prevent fallen fruit from rotting on the ground.

Director Mim Michelove stands at the future “food forest,” on the western edge of Farm Lab at 441 Quail Gardens Drive. Moments later, she received a $10,000 check from the Seeds of Change grant program to finance the forest. Photo by Jared Whitlock “We’ll stay on top of harvesting, and honestly, I think that will come quite naturally, as I think people will harvest before things fall on the ground,” she said.

Besides the food forest, Farm Lab hosts a community garden, which recently got the final green light, and plots will soon be rented out. And students visited Farm Lab’s crops and classrooms for the first time two months ago. In future years, they’ll get hands-on lessons to reinforce science, health and nutrition concepts learned in the classroom.

The district is seeking additional grants and community support to help Farm Lab and the food forest flourish. Those interested can contact Michelove at mim.michelove@eusd. net or contact the superintendent’s office at 760-944-4300.

Man killed in Encinitas freeway crash identified New principal named to Diegueño Middle School

BY PAULINE REPARD, SPECIAL TO THE ENCINITAS ADVOCATE A suspected drunken driver who died Aug. 1 when his stopped car was rear-ended on Interstate 5 in Encinitas has been identified as Sergio Jimenez Solano of San Diego, authorities said.

The county Medical Examiner’s Office said Solano, 27, was wearing a seat belt when his Acura Integra was hit by a Chevrolet Malibu shortly after 3 a.m. in a northbound lane south of Leucadia Boulevard.

Investigators said the Acura may have had a damaged tire, but the reason Solano stopped in the right lane, lights off, and opened the door wasn’t clear. Several witnesses had called the California Highway Patrol to report him as a possible DUI driver who had been weaving across lanes and may have clipped the center divider before he stopped, CHP Officer Chris Parent said.

A San Marcos woman, 38, who was driving the Malibu didn’t see the darkened Acura in time to avoid hitting it, the CHP said. Several people stopped to try to help Solano until paramedics got there, but he died before he could be taken to a hospital.

Woman’s body, found after fire at Encinitas mansion, is identified

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A 23-year-old woman found dead after a fire at an Encinitas mansion with a checkered past died from burns and smoke inhalation, the county Medical Examiner’s Office reported Aug. 4.

Investigators located the body of Shelby Ann Black in an upstairs bedroom early Thursday morning, July 30, while searching through the charred remnants of the roughly 3,500-square-foot Rancho Encinitas Drive home, according to the medical examiner’s office and the sheriff’s department.

Authorities listed her cause of death as third- and fourth-degree thermal burns and inhalation of products of combustion.

A dog was also found dead.

The fire erupted for unknown reasons about 3:45 a.m. Thursday, July 30, at the residence, near Caminito Ricardo. It took fire-

fighters from several area agencies more than an hour to get the intense flames under control.

A resident of the home who was able to escape the burning structure was hospitalized for treatment of burns and cuts. An update on his condition was not immediately available.

The home has been the subject of numerous complaints about drug-related activity and other suspicious activities.

Last December, a search warrant served at the home culminated in half a dozen arrests on suspicion of various offenses, including drug crimes.

Sheriff’s personnel conducted several more searches of the premises over the next several months, making more arrests for alleged drug- and warrant-related offenses, sheriff’s officials said.

ACCELERATING TENANT SUCCESS WITH CREATIVE SOLUTIONS

The San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Trustees and Superintendent Rick Schmitt recently announced the selection of Jeff Copeland as the new principal of Diegueño Middle School.

Copeland was the assistant principal of Canyon Crest Academy School for the past four years and before that, served as the assistant principal at Carmel Valley Middle School for three years. Before that, Copeland worked for 14 years as an English teacher and Teacher on Special Assignment, mostly in the Vista Unified School District.

Copeland holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Columbia College Chicago, an English credential, an administrative services credential, and a master’s degree in education leadership from Brandman University.

Copeland states he is extremely excited about his new position, and he looks forward to being a part of the engaging and innovative school community at Diegueño Middle School and getting to know the students, faculty, parents and staff.

Gaspar’s plans stir interest in 2016 city elections

BY BARBARA HENRY, SPECIAL TO THE ENCINITAS ADVOCATE Word that Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar may be running for county supervisor and — if successful — leaving her mayoral seat in 2016 added fuel this week to what was already expected to be a heated city election season.

“Obviously, if she gets in (to the supervisor’s race), it’s going to make an interesting 2016 — it’ll definitely scramble Encinitas politics,” Councilman Tony Kranz said Aug. 5.

“It’ll cause many people to consider making a run.”

Gaspar’s been keeping mum on her plans for 2016 and couldn’t be reached for comment Aug. 5, but sources told the San Diego Union-Tribune’s Logan Jenkins on Aug. 4 that she had confirmed she would run for the District 3 supervisor’s seat now held by Dave Roberts. There have been rumors for months that Gaspar might be among the candidates. Escondido Mayor Sam Abed already has announced that he is vying for Roberts’ post.

Gaspar, 36, is chief financial officer for Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy and the first directly elected mayor in Encinitas history. She won the mayor’s spot in 2014 — the year that voters began picking their mayor, rather than having the job rotate between the five council members.

At the time, Gaspar was serving the final year of her first, four-year term as a council member and was the council’s current appointed mayor. She’s often described, along with Councilman Mark Muir, as being part of a pro-business, conservative minority on the council that’s facing off against a liberal, environmental majority of Kranz, and councilwomen Catherine Blakespear and Lisa Shaffer.

The council has fluctuated between liberal and conservative majorities over the years.

When Gaspar was first elected, she was in the majority.

Even if Gaspar doesn’t take the plunge into county politics in 2016, Encinitas is about to have a very unusual election year. Nearly all the city’s elected officials are on the ballot in See ELECTIONS, page 8

Man accused of assault, threats at Encinitas beach

BY SUSAN SHRODER, SPECIAL TO THE ENCINITAS ADVOCATE Deputies arrested a 33-year-old man Aug. 5 on suspicion of sexual battery on a woman at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, a sheriff’s official said.

The suspect and victim met at the beach earlier Aug. 5, and had been spending time together, sheriff’s Sgt. Joe Montion said.

Beachgoers in the area of 4th and B streets alerted lifeguards, who called deputies, about a fight between a man and woman about 3:40 p.m., Montion said. Deputies who were already patrolling the beach arrived in minutes, the sergeant said.

The victim, a 49-year-old woman, had minor bruising to the face, he said. The suspect, who is from Encinitas, was arrested and later booked into Vista jail on charges of felony sexual battery, false imprisonment, and making terrorist threats.

Montion said the suspect threatened to kill the victim and would not allow her to leave the area.

One local water district exceeds state conservation target, other misses

BY JARED WHITLOCK Olivenhain Municipal Water District customers slashed their use 33 percent in June compared with the same month in 2013, exceeding the state’s demand that the agency cut back 32 percent, according to a new report.

June was the first month in which California water districts were required to meet statemandated conservation targets, which were established to fight the punishing drought.

Agencies that repeatedly fail to hit their goals could face fines.

“We are very pleased with our customers’ response to the call for conservation in June, especially considering how hot it was,” said Kim Thorner, general manager of the Olivenhain district.

The San Dieguito Water District, serving western Encinitas, reduced water use 18 percent, falling short of its 28 percent goal, according to a State Water Resources Control Board report that was released last week. California officials are gauging whether each agency meets its target by comparing water use against the same month in the benchmark year of 2013.

Bill O’Donnell, general manager of the San Dieguito district, said he knew it would be difficult to achieve the 28 percent cut, because water use in June 2013 was the lowest in a decade.

To reduce water use 28 percent going forward, O’Donnell said the agency is stepping up enforcement of drought restrictions, such as the prohibition on watering landscaping more than two days per week.

The district is also encouraging customers to convert to recycled water.

“The conversion process takes quite a bit of time to complete, so we will not see an immediate impact from this effort,” O’Donnell said, adding it “will result in a permanent reduction in potable water use, though.”

O’Donnell said he doesn’t anticipate any state-imposed penalties based on missing the target one month. The State Water Resources Control Board has said it will help agencies that aren’t consistently meeting their goals before moving to penalties, he added.

San Dieguito was among the six San Diego County water agencies that missed their varying conservation targets. Nine reached their goals.

Overall, Californians slashed their water use by 27.3 percent in June, surpassing Gov. Jerry Brown’s state goal of 25 percent, despite the warmest June on record.

Thorner said the district’s conservation approach includes outreach, increased enforcement, incentives and higher water rates, known as “drought rates.”

“One customer might be motivated to attend a landscape class, while another might take advantage of a rebate for rain barrels, and yet a third may not know that their sprinklers are going off every day until they receive an enforcement letter,” Thorner said.

She added that the district sent out six times as many violation letters in June as it did in May. Before the state mandate took effect, the Olivenhain district reduced water consump-

Photo by Jared Whitlock tion 37 percent in May and 1 percent in April. The San Dieguito district sliced use 18 percent in May and 24 percent in April.

The San Dieguito district covers the western half of Encinitas, while the Olivenhain district includes households in eastern Encinitas, and parts of Carlsbad, Elfin Forest and 4S Ranch.

Just before press time, O’Donnell sent an email noting that San Dieguito district customers reduced use 26.5 percent in July. When asked, Thorner said the Olivenhain district had yet to receive an official state invoice for July, but internal district reports indicate customers slashed consumption nearly 40 percent.

Encinitas artist Jan Trabin finds beauty inside the ordinary

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Wearing an apron and surrounded by industrial-engineered tools in her workshop retreat in rural Encinitas, Jan Trabin continues to find — and create — beauty in the discarded everyday materials that she has collected over the decades.

Most recently, Trabin was juried into the Art Walk NTC at Liberty Station that takes place during the weekend of Aug. 15-16, along with just four other North County artists.

Trabin’s daughter, Lisa Flores, will join her. The two artists find joy in repurposing the prosaic and have exhibited their artworks together for many years.

In the 1960s, when Flores was a child, Trabin took several of her daughter’s childhood drawings and applied them to her own collages, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that evoked an innocence. These pieces were published at the time in Better Homes and Garden magazine and appeared in an article published in the Los Angeles Times.

Flores also worked for her mother’s Los Angeles-based showroom — JTA (Jan Trabin Associates) — which Trabin founded in 1980. “We have spent all of our lives sharing artwork,” Trabin remarked.

Trabin studied art at Long Beach City College from 1956-1960, then graduated from UCLA’s art department with a degree in fine art, followed by working as an interior designer. Her Los Angeles-based high-caliber clients included such notables as entertainer and movie star Olivia NewtonJohn and singer/songwriter Helen Reddy.

Nepal earthquake relief trip sparks nonprofit focused on rebuilding

BY JARED WHITLOCK Hem Rai led a relief trip to earthquake-stricken Nepal in May that helped more than 1,000 people in need. During the trek, Rai and other volunteers realized the next step is longterm rebuilding.

That’s why they formed GlobalHealthandEducation (all one word), a new nonprofit that will build schools and teach preventative health in Nepal. Plans eventually call for the nonprofit to serve other Third World countries.

“All this came together because of what saw and what we did in Nepal,” said Rai, a Nepal native and owner of the Earth’s Elements shop in Encinitas. “It touched our hearts and made us feel like we want to give more.”

In October, Rai and the GlobalHealthandEducation volunteers will go back to Nepal to help build two schools in remote areas. One school will go in Nowakot and another in Hem Rai at his Encinitas Rasuwa, which each lost a school when the 7.8-magnitude store, Earth’s Elements. A sign in front of him earthquake struck in April.

During the May relief trip, the volunteers set up medical promotes Californians for camps in those areas. Rai said locals were “incredibly thank- Nepal, a relief effort he ful” for the support.

“If they contribute their sweat, then they feel like the school is their own, and not something we built for them,” he said.

For the May relief trip, Rai raised more than $14,500 online and at his store, which went toward blankets, tents, first-aid kits and more.

The 17 people from Southern California, including doctors and nurses, who went on the May expedition paid for their own flights. During future GlobalHealthandEducation trips, volunteers will follow suit so overhead costs remain low, Rai said.

Preventive health is another focus of the nonprofit. Rai said many people in Third World countries have misconceptions about how to treat serious health problems.

GlobalHealthandEducation aims to reach remote areas that governments or other nonprofits might overlook.

For Rai, leading expeditions is familiar territory. He has guided climbing treks through-

And Rai grew up in the small mountain village of Helwabasi, making navigating practically second nature.

With so many roads destroyed or washed out in Nepal, the skill was critical during the May trip.

“A lot of infrastructure needs to be rebuilt,” Rai said.

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Art, music and food lovers will have a unique opportunity to attend an afternoon in a beautiful private setting in Encinitas to benefit the Olivewood Garden and Learning Center, a National City-based nonprofit.

From 3-6 p.m. Aug. 16, an exclusive meet-and-greet with several artists from a variety of fields will take place at a private garden enhanced by colorful sea-themed landscaping and sculptural art, known as the Triton Garden Gallery.

The outdoor gallery is on the grounds of the home of event organizer Jolee Pink, founder of Wabisabi Green, an eco-decor business.

Chef Brandon Brooks of Quad Ale will prepare a four-course tasting menu composed of fresh-from the-garden vegetables, locally caught yellowtail, homegrown fruits and more.

The fine art of local artist Donna Butnik will be on display and available for purchase, and guitarist Jimmy Patton and Enrique Platas will sing, with a special appearance by singer Ella Shreiner.

A cash bar will feature Hiatus Cellars wines, a silent auction and free swag bags of local gourmet goodies.

All proceeds from ticket sales and the silent auction will directly benefit Olivewood Garden and Learning Center.

The center’s executive director, Healy Vigderson, said that Pink approached her to do the event as a way to spread the center’s mission to connect people with healthy food and help create a healthy environment, “which is right in line with what she is doing in her Living Coastal business and art gallery. It’s a really great partnership for us.�

Olivewood Gardens’ mission is to connect and motivate students and families from diverse backgrounds through organic gardening, environmental stewardship, and nutrition education, empowering them to be healthy and active citizens.

The center’s 7-acre property was originally home to the Noyes family. Its restored 120-year-old Victorian residence still stands on the acreage and has been continually occupied by only three families.

In the late nineteenth century, the grounds were planted in olive orchards.

Some of those original trees are still standing on the property, said Vigderson. “We have a rich agricultural history,� she commented.

In 1947, the house was sold to Murvel and Esther Newlan. In 1985, it was purchased by John Walton — son of Walmart founder Sam Walton — and his wife, Christy. Shortly after moving into the home, their son Lucas, then age 3, was diagnosed with a severe form of kidney cancer. “They were inspired to plant a couple of organic gardening beds on the property, in the late 1980s when this was not mainstream,� Vigderson explained.

Along with traditional cancer therapies, Lucas was put on a strict juice diet made from produce harvested from their plantings, and within a year, the tumor stopped growing. Today Lucas is 28 and cancer-free. “It is a huge success story and points directly toward the connection of food and health,� said Vigderson.

The Waltons later donated the entire property, with the condition that the gardens that they had created remain in perpetuity. Those beds have now been expanded into a half-acre production garden that provides fruit and vegetables for the Moores

Olivewood Garden and Learning Center connects students and families through organic gardening. An Aug. 16 benefit will be held in Encinitas.

Olivewood Gardens and Learning Center was created to provide programs for the community to use that garden and to inspire and teach others about the connection between food and health.

Consequently, the center is witness to seeing tangible changes in people’s attitudes toward food and their changes in eating behavior, said Vigderson.

People from all over the county visit the center, including students and families.

2016 because of the city’s recent shift to a directly elected mayor system.

When voters approved the change, they made the mayor’s post a two-year term. That means Gaspar must run again in 2016 to keep the job.

Three out of the four City Council seats also are on the 2016 ballot — seats now held by Kranz, Muir and Shaffer.

And under the terms of a deal worked out by the council when voters approved the elected mayor system, one of those three council spot is about to temporarily become a two-year post, instead of a four-year spot, to accommodate the shift to an elected mayor. The lowest vote-getter out of

Both Kranz and Muir said Aug. 5 that they have not made a decision about whether to run for re-election in 2016, whether to seek the mayor’s post instead, or whether to bow out of politics. Kranz, who made an unsuccessful run for mayor in 2014, said it was far too early to make a decision. “The beauty of running in Encinitas, especially as an incumbent, is you don’t have to decide (this soon),� he said.

Shaffer couldn’t be reached for comment Aug. 5.

While some incumbents aren’t yet voicing their plans, some former council members said Aug. 5 that they’re definitely not running for council or mayor in 2016. “Absolutely not,� said Teresa Barth, who served two terms on the council and decided not to seek reelection in 2014.

Jerome Stocks, who served three council terms and made an unsuccessful bid for a fourth in 2012, said he also wasn’t considering a return to politics. “I certainly have no plans to run for anything in 2016,� he said.

After 30 years, local author celebrates ‘overnight’ success

BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ Michelle Gable is nothing if not determined. She started writing in the fourth grade and saw her first book, “A Paris Apartment,” debut just shy of her 40th birthday — and it went on to become a national best-seller, something rare for a new author. Gable still holds a day job, and she fits in her writing between shuffling her kids to their various sports and making lunches. An avid Charger and Aztec fan, she lives with her husband and kids in Cardiff.

Recently, she took the time to answer a few questions for us.

When did you know you wanted to be a writer, and when did you actually put pen to paper?

When I was 10 years old, my father gave me a book called “Someday You’ll Write.” My parents re-gifted this same book to me at the launch of “A Paris Apartment” — which was a few weeks shy of my 40th birthday. So in the 30 years between, I wrote — and wrote and wrote. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to be a writer.

You have a family, a day job, and all the distractions that go with both. When do you write?

Whenever I can! I am an early bird, and get up at 5 or 5:30 every morning. I have daily and weekly word count goals and the trick is to get them in, whether that means before dawn, or while the kids are getting ready for school, or as I’m waiting for dinner to finish cooking. My daughters play competitive softball, and this time of year we can have anywhere from six to 12 games in a weekend, many out of town. I wrote my second book last summer during All Stars, by hand and in pencil between games! You would’ve seen me scribbling away in the car, behind the dugout, you name it! I’m working on copy edits for book #2 now and I had the manuscript with me for three games today.

How long did you work towards your ‘overnight’ success?

Nearly 30 years! And I was with my agent for five years before she sold a book to a publisher. I’m so grateful she stuck with me through the ups and downs and the heartbreak.

It has been said that 81 percent of Americans think they have a book in them.

What would it take for them to become writers?

Determination and persistence. And daily word count goals help too! I believe 90 percent of the secret to getting published is to a) finish the book(s) and b) never give up. Let those rejections roll right off ! It’s also important to study the industry. It’s a business, and a would-be writer needs to understand how it works.

How many rejections did you receive before finding an agent?

Oh gosh, I don’t remember. Probably 35-40?

I read that your agent actually turned you on to the story that is the basis of “A Paris Apartment.” How did that come about?

News about the abandoned Parisian apartment on which my book is based became public in late 2010. I was still smarting from a rather brutal letdown … we’d had a failed auction for a previous manuscript. While five different editors loved the book, it was “too hard to sell a debut author.” I was crushed, because although I could keep writing book after book, how was I going to get over the “debut author” hurdle? Then my agent sent me an article about the apartment and wrote, “There is something AWESOME and Author Michelle Gable has written “A Paris Apartment,” haunting about this story which became a national bestseller, something rare for a and I think you should file it away for a book at some new author. Courtesy photo point.” And I agreed!

What do you recommend a writer look for in an agent?

Someone who represents your genre is key! Then that person must be crazy enthusiastic about your work. Because as much rejection as you’re going to face, the agent is being “rejected” too. They need to feel so assured of your long-term success that they’ll press on undeterred, just as my agent did through five years.

On top of that, it’s crucial to find someone you “connect” with in some indefinable but true way. Agents all take the same commission rate, so it’s not about economics. It’s about the right fit and enthusiasm for a project.

I love the first line of “A Paris Apartment.” How important are first lines in books?

Thank you so much! And I think first lines are very important but even more so are the first few chapters. Many readers will abandon a book if they’re not sucked in by page 10 or 20.

How does a setting serve as a character in a novel?

For “A Paris Apartment,” the city and the apartment itself loom large in the tale. If the

Singer-songwriter Vonda Shepard heads to Belly Up Aug. 13 for ‘Rookie’ launch

BY ROB LEDONNE It’s a quiet Monday in Maine, but Vonda Shepard has her mind on a gig halfway across the country — even though she’s currently on vacation.

“I’m really excited for it,” she said of her upcoming performance Aug. 13 at the Belly Up Tavern, which doubles as the release show for her latest album, the curiously titled “Rookie.”

“The name of the album is kind of a joke for myself,” said Shepard with a laugh. “There’s a song on the album also called ‘Rookie,’ and the lyrics are, ‘I’m not a rookie.’”

In fact, Shepard has been pursuing her music craft for multiple decades. She first skyrocketed to fame in the 1990s, thanks to her involvement with the hit show “Ally McBeal,” for which she was a large part of the drama’s soundtrack, writing the hit single “Searchin’ My Soul” and appearing on screen as well.

However, “Ally McBeal” was just a blip on Shepard’s radar, as she’s been writing and recording since the late ’80s. (She first appeared on the charts in 1987 for the hit song she recorded with Dan Hill, “Can’t We Try.”) Now an independent artist, Shepard took five long years to write “Rookie,” during some of which she admits she had writer’s block. Used to bouncing ideas off a ’70s-era boom box, Shepard pivoted for “Rookie” and upgraded her technology.

“The first two or three years of the process, I was struggling. Then, I bought an instrument called a Zoom” — which allowed Shepard to brainstorm with ease. “That little thing saved me.”

Despite her struggles, Shepard hasn’t wavered in her passion for crafting songs.

“I find writing the most gratifying stage of the entire album process,” she said, adding that it’s also “by far the hardest. But once you nail it and get the song … That’s a pretty exciting thing to do in life.”

The power of the internet also did its part in bringing “Rookie” to life.

“When I set out to make the album, there weren’t a lot of options out there for an artist like me,” Shepard conceded, the days of a thriving music industry in the rearview mirror. “I had two choices: pay for the production myself or try a Kickstarter. So we went with the Kickstarter.”

Originally preparing to raise only $2,000 from the crowd-sourcing website, Shepard and her producer/husband, Mitchell Froom, raised a collective $36,000.

“The end result was that we could make a very high-quality record with the exact mixer I wanted,” said Shepard. “The whole process was very intense. I learned a lot about social media doing it, and I’m really thrilled. The album comes from a great place because we just cut loose and let it rip. Thanks to Kickstarter, we had the freedom to do what we wanted.”

Next comes touring her new work, the first leg of which takes her to Solana Beach and the Belly Up.

Seven new restaurants join lineup for Taste of MainStreet Seven new restaurants will be participating in the 27th annual Taste of MainStreet, to be held Aug. 18 and sponsored by the Encinitas 101 MainStreet Association.

This year’s event will be held from 5:30 8:30 p.m., along Coast Highway 101 in downtown Encinitas. For a $35 ticket, participants can enjoy tastes from at least 40 restaurants, sample wine and beer at 20 Sip Stops, and lis- GoodOnYa Deli/Café, Sonima Wellness, The Taco Stand and URBN Coal Fired ten to live music at seven venues.

Thora Guthrie, Encinitas 101’s executive Pizza are among the new restaurants director, says, “We’re excited to have seven offering samples at this year’s Taste of new restaurants making their Taste of Main- MainStreet. Courtesy photo Street debut, including GoodOnYa Deli/Café, Sonima Wellness, The Taco Stand and URBN Coal Fired Pizza. These new additions help cement our reputation as North County’s hottest dining destination.”

GoodOnYa Deli, whose tagline is “every ingredient matters,” is known for organic and GMO-free food and beverages. Sonima Wellness offers freshly cold-pressed organic juices, “superfood” smoothies, and naturally sourced foods. The soon-to-open Taco Stand, serving handmade corn tortillas and freshly made guacamole and salsa, is the offspring of the highly acclaimed La Jolla restaurant of the same name. The popular San Diego URBN Restaurant Group recently made Encinitas its first coastal location, bringing its New Haven-style pizza to this “Downtown by the Beach.”

Three other new restaurants — Better Buzz Coffee, Ironsmith Coffee Roasters, and Vallarta Express — will also take part in this year’s Taste of MainStreet.

Buy tickets online at www.encinitas101.com or at the Encinitas 101 office, 818 S. Coast Highway 101. The $35/person advance ticket price includes all 60+ food and beverage choices. Same-day tickets are $45/person, but the event is expected to sell out early.

While Shepard, who lives in Los Angeles, would normally make a night out of it and spend time in North County — this upcoming gig marks her third appearance — she instead has to drive up to Los Angeles to fly to her next show in San Francisco the next evening. However, all of the travel is just the icing on the cake now that “Rookie” is finally complete.

“I did write a few extra tunes, and if I’m smart I’ll continue working on them now while I’m still in that inspired phase,” teased Shepard about a possible next album. “The Kickstarter thing was pretty exciting too, so I may continue with that as well.”

Catch Vonda Shepard at the Belly Up on Aug. 13. Doors open at 7 p.m., the show starts at 8.

Arizona bluegrass band performs Aug. 22 San Diego Folk Heritage hosts the touring Celtic band Banshee in the Kitchen.

The all-ages concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 22 at San Dieguito United Methodist Church, 170 Calle Magdalena Encinitas.

Admission is $15 for members and $18 standard.

Tickets are available at the door or online.

AUTHOR apartment was found in London or Berlin or Dallas, it’d be a different book. And it makes sense, really, as we are all influenced by the places we’ve lived.

It is said writers are readers. Who are your favorite authors?

Yes, writers are readers and I am a reader first! I probably go through 100 books per year in a variety of genres. My favorite authors are John Irving, T. Greenwood, Amanda Eyre Ward, Chris Bohjalian, Lily King, Ann Patchett, J. Courtney Sullivan, and Beatriz Williams.

What qualities would you ascribe to most authors?

That’s a tough one! I think, again, determination is central to any author because it is really difficult to finish a novel, regardless of whether it ever sells. Merely typing “the end” is an enormous accomplishment. Beyond that, I’m not sure. I work in finance and some would accuse me of being “Type A” (I argue that I “go with the flow” — but flows can be fast-moving!). I also do a lot of presentations for work, so am comfortable in public and in large crowds. Talking to a lot of my author friends, these are not common traits.

You are now a nationally best-selling author with a second book underway. How is writing different now?

Well for one, I’m writing under contract! Which is awesome and daunting at the same time. When you’re unpublished, you can write whatever the heck you want. Mystery? YA? Sci Fi? Sure, why not? I was so nervous when I turned in my second book because what if she didn’t like it? Or didn’t think the tone was right? She loved it, thank goodness, but this was a big change for me. I also have to be a lot more methodical, as my deadlines are now “real” versus self-imposed.

It’s still weird to think that strangers are reading my book! Cindy Crawford tweeted about it and I’m not even kidding when I say my first thought was, “Does Cindy Crawford know my mother?!”

What is the best writing advice you ever received — and from whom?

Stop in the middle of writing something (a scene, a paragraph) so it’s easier to pick back up the next day. Hemingway did this and it is my #1 trick.

What is your best advice for aspiring authors?

Keep going! Finish the book. Research the market. Find out what path you’re taking and how that path is going to look. And never give up. If the first book doesn’t sell, write another, and another, and another after that. Always be writing something new. Even when your book is out there! Never obsess over the rejections or bad reviews (which I personally don’t read). Keep moving forward.

potentially four times higher than the alternative of placing the money in the district’s general fund.

The district’s draft plan calls for annual bond returns to be spent on new technology. “Every five to seven years you’re replacing iPads, or computers or teacher tools,� Baird said.

Baird said it has been nearly five years since the district purchased the first batch of iPads for students, and it’s starting to replace older iPads that can’t run newer software programs. After a series of iPad rollouts, all students in the K-6 district have an iPad, paid for by the Proposition P bond measure passed by Encinitas voters in 2010.

Proposition P and other revenue sources will pay for most planned school upgrades, but the remaining $5 mil-

lion in Pacific View money could fill in gaps in infrastructure funding, Baird said.

Before deciding just which funds are spent and on what projects, the district needs concrete cost estimates for the upgrades, he added. “Pacific View is sort of our safety net,� Baird said.

The district is looking to modernize classrooms at its nine schools, install solar panels, put in new heating and air conditioning systems, add modular classrooms at Ocean Knoll Elementary and Capri Elementary, upgrade bathrooms and more.

The State Allocation Board, which oversees school districts’ construction funds, approved the Encinitas district transferring the Pacific View funds into its general fund

nearly two months ago. If that transfer had been denied, the money could have been used only to build new facilities or fix up old ones.

Last year, the district planned to auction the former elementary-school property to the highest bidder, after a number of proposals for Pacific View fell through over the years.

However, the city swooped in at the 11th hour and bought the 2.8-acre site, at 608 Third Street in downtown Encinitas.

An Encinitas City Council subcommittee will soon review citizen groups’ proposals for converting the property into a community gathering space.

Calling all cooks for Lima Bean cook-off Save the date of Sept. 26! That’s when the San Dieguito Heritage Museum holds its seventh annual Lima Bean Cook-off and Faire — and they’re looking for creative cooks to compete.

The challenge: Make a lima bean dish that is so good that bean lovers will swoon, and bean haters will be forced to admit to liking them. Last year, hundreds of locals experienced and enjoyed the Lima Bean Faire, so come early to be sure to get to taste all the entries!

The contest has five categories: Appetizer, Salad, Side Dish, Soup/Entrée, and Dessert.

Last year’s winner was Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar’s Lima Bean Ice Cream, so be creative — think outside the bean pod! (Remember, the beans have to taste better than when your mother made them.)

To participate as a chef in either the amateur or professional divisions, please register by calling the museum at 760-632-9711. You will be vying with other chefs in your division for cash prizes, gifts, and the coveted Lima Bean Trophy! The battle is on!

This traditional fall event is free. Pre-event tasting tickets to sample all of the Bean Cook-off entries, plus salads, are $15 for adults and $5 for children under 12, available by calling the museum. On event day, tasting tickets are $20 for adults at the door and $5 for children under 12.

The museum is at 450 Quail Gardens Drive in Encinitas. For information, to register, or to buy pre-event tickets, call 760-632-9711 or visit sdheritage.org.

New patio space, new job opportunities sprout at San Diego Botanic Garden Something special is brewing at the San Diego Botanic Garden: new patio space, as well as hands-on experience for people who wish to enter the workforce.

Thanks in part to a $20,000 Third District Neighborhood Reinvestment Program grant, visitors to the garden can enjoy new patio furniture, shade and other amenities in an expanded refreshment area.

Also growing at the Gardens is a partnership with Employment & Community Options, a local nonprofit serving low-income adults with developmental disabilities. Since 1985, clients from the nonprofit have gained important job skills by performing light maintenance at the Garden. Now, the workers can also gain customer-service experience by working at a coffee stand in the new refreshment area.

Big Band and Jazz Orchestra set to swing Aug. 9 The San Diego Botanic Garden presents “Summer Jazz Concert in the Garden,” featuring the Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame Orchestra, from 5-8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 9.

Spend an evening enjoying the timeless sounds of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Count Basie and more.

The band brings authentic arrangements by these jazz greats to life with a full 17-piece orchestra and two talented vocalists. Swing along with hits like “In The Mood,” “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” the “Bugle Call Rag,” and “All of Me.” CDs will be for sale the evening of the concert. Proceeds from the band’s performances, CD sales, and donations go to support music education in North County schools and to award scholarships to promising students in local high school band programs.

Cost: Garden members $15, nonmembers $25; Garden member children (ages 3-12) $5, nonmember children, $10.

Encinitas school promotes Indian music

BY JARED WHITLOCK Famed percussionist Aditya Kalyanpur started the New England School of Music on the East Coast to spread Indian classical music. And now the school is expanding west — to Encinitas.

“It’s my responsibility to ensure this is passed on to the next generation,” said Kalyanpur, who is known as a maestro of the tabla, or Indian hand drums. “I want to take this tradition forward and beyond the boundaries of India.”

The New England School of Music San Diego, which opened July 30, is at 1613 Lake Drive in Encinitas. There, students of all ages and experience levels can learn kaidas and relas, types of Indian music compositions that aren’t featured in other music schools.

Down the line, the school will also have lectures, performances and an artist-in-residence program, according to Kalyanpur.

Kalyanpur, who spoke over the phone last week while in Los Angeles, had just returned from touring India. He’s also staked out a Western audience, playing on Katy Perry’s song “Legendary Lovers” and recording with the Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards.

He said he chose Encinitas because he knows many eager students in this area. Kalyanpur added that the region has a well-established Indian music scene, citing sitar player Ravi Shankar, who relocated to Encinitas in the early 1990s and died in 2012.

“There is a lot of interest and energy in Indian classical music in the region,” he said.

The New England School of Music has six branches in Massachusetts, and this is the first school outside the state.

PROTECT YOUR SKIN:

EXPLORING THE LINK BETWEEN WEARABLE FITNESS TECHNOLOGY AND CONTACT DERMATITIS What is Contact Dermatitis? Contact dermatitis is characterized by an itchy inflamed rash that can occur anywhere on the body. It is caused by an allergic reaction to a substance that comes into contact with the skin.

As more fitness enthusiasts turn to wearable technology to track their jogs, workouts and vital signs, the risk of contact dermatitis can become an issue.

The professional dermatologists at San Diego’s newest dermatology clinic North County Dermatology Center, who themselves wear these fitness devices, are here to help.

Dr. Margaret Hobson Dupree and Dr. David Thomas are the center’s dermatologists who combined, have over 40 years of dermatology experience. Both received their medical degrees from the Uniformed Services University in Bethesda, Md. They have strong ties to the San Diego area, including Dr. Thomas’ background as Director of Medical Services and Chief of the Medical Staff at the Naval Hospital at Camp Pendleton.

Dermatologists have noticed an uptick in the number of contact dermatitis cases related to fitness bracelets or watches that keep track of various health and workout metrics.

Some consumers wearing 24-hour fitness tracking wristbands have developed contact dermatitis, a red itchy rash caused by an allergy. These types of reactions are developing in response to various materials in the wrist bands including nickel in the metal, as well as rubber and rubber accelerants used in the casings and clasps of these types of devices.

“People may not realize that one of the most common forms of contact dermatitis is a metal allergy,” Dr. Thomas said. “Nickel is the most prevalent of all metal allergens and is found in many household items.”

Most metals contain some amount of nickel, with costume jewelry and cell phones among the leading causes of allergic reactions.

The affected skin becomes itchy, red and can become, over the course of a few days to a week or more, scaly and inflamed and sometimes even blister.

Allergic reaction skin rashes often require evaluation and treatment by a boardcertified dermatologist who can determine the source of the rash and recommend the best treatment.

“There are two ways to prevent a rash caused by contact dermatitis,” Dr. Dupree said. “Stop wearing the device, wear the device more loosely around the skin, or put a barrier between the product and the skin, such as a gauze pad or clear nail polish.”

Dr. Thomas and Dr. Dupree say there are simple, effective treatments for contact dermatitis. They include: s /VER THE COUNTER AND PRESCRIPTION TOPICAL CORTICOSTEROIDS s 3YSTEMIC CORTICOSTEROIDS GIVEN ORALLY OR BY INJECTION RARELY FOR SEVERE RASHES s -OISTURIZERS PARTICULARLY CREAMS THAT PROVIDE MORE PERSISTENT MOISTURIZING effects than lotions, for preventing further dryness and irritation

To find the right doctor for you, visit:

www.NorthCoastHealthCenter.com

“We want people to know that when they see a red rash occurring on the wrist or arm to realize that they could be experiencing an allergic reaction,” Dr. Thomas said. “Ignoring it and hoping it goes away on its own can make the problem become progressively worse.”

Additional information about contact dermatitis and allergic skin reactions can be found by visiting the American Academy of Dermatology, www.aad.org.

at Botanic Garden

BY DAVE ROBERTS Something special is brewing at the San Diego Botanic Garden: new patio space and partnerships that provide coffee service and hands-on experience for people who wish to enter the workforce.

We celebrated all of this during grand opening ceremonies last week.

I was delighted to join folks from the garden and from Employment & Community Options, a local nonprofit serving low-income adults with developmental disabilities.

We gathered on the remodeled patio, which sits among succulents, palms, sculptures and the flowing branches of a Kashmir cypress. The outdoor area includes new tables and umbrellas and space for a coffee stand.

One of the workers stationed behind that stand is John Hiatt of Vista. John is a client of Employment & Community Options. He attends Palomar College and says he hopes to transfer to CSU Long Beach to study journalism.

“It’s very nice to have a job,” John said. “This gets me on my feet.”

It also gets him talking. Conversation skills are important, he said, especially for journalists. Nodding his head in agreement is Ryan White, senior program manager for Employment & Community Options.

Ryan said that for many years, volunteer teams from Employment & Community Options have performed light maintenance at the garden as a way to acquire job skills. The new barista positions pay more than minimum wage, he said, and provide the kind of training that can lead to finding a better job or even opening a business.

Employment & Community Options serves a wide range of adult clients diagnosed with autism, cerebral palsy and other intellectual disabilities.

“Our goal is to integrate our clients into the community,” said CEO Nancy Batterman. “Something like this (coffee stand) is really ideal for that.”

As I prepared to snip a red ribbon with Nancy and Julian Duval, president and CEO of the garden, one word kept coming up: collaboration.

During my remarks, I mentioned that as the property owner, the County of San Diego wants to be an active partner to make the garden even more successful. Nearly 230,000 people visit the garden every year.

Collaboration, I said, is what this county is all about.

“We’re very excited about this partnership,” Nancy said.

In his remarks, Julian spoke to the growing body of scientific evidence that confirms the mental and physical benefits of contact with nature.

“It’s a healing environment at the garden,” Julian said.

I agree. That’s why I am so pleased that the Board of Supervisors approved my recommendation to support the patio improvements with a $20,000 Neighborhood Reinvestment Program grant.

Improvements at the botanic garden will keep coming as Julian, his board members and I discuss continued collaboration.

Dave Roberts represents the Third District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

Scripps Encinitas holds ‘Latch On’ breast-feeding event Dozens of mothers and their babies gathered Aug. 1 at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas to participate in the “Big Latch On” breast-feeding event as part of World Breast-Feeding Week, an annual celebration held around the globe. At 10:30 a.m., the mothers all breast-fed their babies for one minute. The event also included a family parade.

Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar, a breast-feeding advocate whose three children were born at Scripps Encinitas, presented a proclamation recognizing the hospital’s 10 years as a baby-friendly designated facility by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

World Breast-Feeding Week, which runs Aug. 1 to Aug. 7, aims to raise awareness of the benefits of breast-feeding. The theme this year is supporting working women and breast-feeding. Last year, more than 13,000 mothers and children in 31 countries participated in the “Big Latch On.” Photos by McKenzie Images. For photos online, visit www.encinitasadvocate.com.

The Aug. 5 event also gave surfers the chance to practice for the 100 Wave Challenge, taking place 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sept. 19 at Mission Beach. Surfers — including pros, the public and several Boys to Men teens as well as mentors — will each try and catch 100 waves over the course of 12 hours to raise money for Boys to Men. Returning participants include surfing world champion Shaun Tomson, World Championship Tour surfer Damien Hobgood and legendary surfboard-maker Duke Aipa. To learn more or register, visit www.100wavechallenge.dojiggy.com.

Sigurdson said he came up with the idea for the 100 Wave Challenge when surfing a consistent swell in 2009 at Mission Beach.

“The ocean was a machine, and I probably got 30 waves in 90 minutes,” he said. While walking back to his car that day, he realized people would probably donate to see surfers each catch 100 waves.

Boys to Men started 20 years ago, when Sigurdson and a few other adults noticed how many kids in their La Mesa neighborhood seemed without direction.

“Initially, it was just some guys from the neighborhood getting together and helping out these kids that were struggling,” Sigurdson said. “It was so effective these kids started bringing their friends around, and it just grew from there.”

Fairly early on, Boys to Men hired psychologists and counselors to help fine tune the program, Sigurdson said. That led to a program blueprint, which is posted on the Boys to Men website at www.boystomen.org, for others to follow.

“We offered it up to the planet,” Sigurdson said. He added by 2001, he was frequently flying to other cities to aid fledgling Boys to Men chapters.

It has been a resounding success: Boys to Men has provided support for more than 6,000 boys worldwide, including around 1,800 in San Diego, and now has chapters around the world.

Sigurdson said often teens start the program skeptical and holding on to pent-up emotions. With time, many transform into men with a new lease on life.

Dion Gaither, Ayden Naungayan and Garrett Ouquisin, teens in the program, said they appreciate being part of a community they know has their back.

“Everyone inside the circle accepts you,” Ouquisin said.

“When you’re going down the wrong path, or you don’t know what to do, or you’re stuck, you can always turn to anyone here,” Naungayan said.

Later, they paddled out with recently donated surfboards.

During the Aug. 5 event, Boys to Men received 25 Rusty surfboards from North Island Credit Union (the boards were fixed up thanks to the generosity of Joe Roper and FCS Fin Systems.)

PET OF THE WEEK

WANTED

By Private Collector

DANNY and SARA, two 8-year-old Jindo/Boxer mixes, are looking for a loving home together! This beautiful pair has been together since they were 8-weeks old and they depend on each other quite a bit for love and reassurance, especially in their new environment. They came to our care when their owner was moving and could not take them, and they can’t wait to ďŹ nd a new family to share their love with!

They can be a bit shy, but warm up when given time to do so. Danny and Sara would do best in a home alone together.

They would also do better with older, respectful children, as young kids can make them very nervous. Danny and Sara are available for adoption at San Diego Humane Society’s adoption center at Petco in El Cajon at 540 North 2nd Street #540. To learn more about making them part of your family, please call (619) 299-7012.

LAWSUIT

and local candidates whom residents might wish to support in an election. During the 2016 general election, four Encinitas City Council seats are open, he added.

“The number of issues and candidates on the ballot will change over time, but it’s always going to be more than two,” Loy said.

With City Hall closed July 31, Mayor Kristin Gaspar and City Attorney Glenn Sabine couldn’t be reached for comment.

The city’s previous sign ordinance allowed yard signs only 30 days before an election (and three days after). Such rules probably wouldn’t hold up under legal scrutiny, an attorney advised the Encinitas City Council.

So the council adopted the current ordinance last year with the aim of cutting down on litter and visual clutter in neighborhoods, while still allowing free speech.

Although the city’s rules are less restrictive, the ACLU last fall threatened legal action if the city council didn’t amend its ordinance to drop the two-sign limit.

“Obviously, we weren’t able to come to an agreement,” Loy said, declining to go into further details regarding discussions with the city.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of resident Peter Stern, who has complied with Encinitas’ “unconstitutional restriction, although he has wished to post more than two signs,” a press release for the lawsuit states.

Loy said to his knowledge, this is the first time the ACLU has sued a city in San Diego County over its campaign sign ordinance.

The lawsuit also argues that the two-sign cap should be lifted to give political newcomers an opportunity to get their names out there.

“Given the power of incumbency — which often includes name recognition resulting from years in office and free media coverage — it is important that non-incumbent candidates and their supporters build name recognition through the especially important means of yard signs,” the lawsuit states.

Art in the Village celebrates 17th year with Aug. 9 event in Carlsbad Held on the second Sunday every August, The Carlsbad Village Association (CVA)’s Art in the Village will return from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 9, bringing more than 150 local and regional artists for a one-day, open-air event.

Celebrating the dynamic art culture in Carlsbad Village and the surrounding areas, the event attracts thousands of residents and a diverse selection of fine artists, painters, classical and contemporary sculptors, photographers and craftsmen. Artist demos and instruction will take place throughout the day. Starting at 9 a.m., attendees can browse exhibits and listen to live music along State Street and Grand Avenue right in the heart of the Village and just blocks from Carlsbad State Beach.
