San Dieguito Academy tennis program cheering new courts • Tight-knit coaching staff keeps team strong over years
■ New San Elijo Lagoon nursery sows native plants. Page 3
Lifestyle
BY JARED WHITLOCK For three years, the San Dieguito Academy tennis program was without a home. With the school’s tennis courts ripped up for construction, players and coaches had to frequently fight afternoon traffic on Interstate 5 to make it to practices and games in Oceanside. Before this, they had to make do with cracked, sloped courts. But two weeks ago, the tennis program cut the ribbon on six new courts, marking a new era for the SDA boys and girls tennis teams. “Before, a lot of other students didn’t even know we have a tennis team,” said senior Alex Weingarten. “They can see us out here playing. There’s more school spirit.” The cost of the courts was $1.2 million, paid for by the voter-approved Proposition AA school bond. To celebrate the Grand Opening, a doubles tournament for ages 12 and up is slated for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 14 at the school (see end of article for more information). ‘Three-headed monster of coaching’ Joe Tomasi, who has been the school’s tennis coach for nearly 20 years, said the past three years had been tough, given all the traveling to other courts. He believes the program’s three coaches, with 46 years of collective experience and a tight-knit bond, helped keep the program strong. “It’s not uncommon that siblings who are years apart play for us,” Tomasi said. “The kids and their families get to know us. They know what we expect, they know our routine and they know how much we ask.”

gle, where I’m stricter about routines,” Tomasi said. Syvrud added with a laugh: “It’s a good combination.” Junior Jennifer Kerr said the three coaches bring different perspectives and their personalities balance each other out. Kerr added the players, like the coaches, are close. See TENNIS page 19

BY JARED WHITLOCK Encinitas could ban glyphosates, a common herbicide linked to potential health problems, from being sprayed on city parks and property. The Encinitas Parks and Recreation Commission on Oct. 20 voted 4-0 in favor of including glyphosate in the city’s do-notuse chemical list. In the next month or two, the Encinitas City Council will consider the ban. Commissioner Elizabeth Brady said if the council adopts the measure, the Parks and Recreation department should post signs to advertise it. “I think it would be really well received by parents of young children,” Grady said. Glyphosate is the main active ingredient in Roundup, the world’s best-selling weed killer. The World Health Organiza-

tion’s research arm recently found that the chemical is possibly carcinogenic to humans, according to the city’s staff report. Carcinogens are substances that can lead to cancer under certain circumstances and levels of exposure. Jason La Riva, parks and beach superintendent, said the city’s integrated pest management policy states the city won’t use any possible or known carcinogens. Earlier, he stated that research has linked glyphosates to the decline in monarch butterflies. Council in June directed city staff to develop a proposal eliminating glyphosates on city property. The Encinitas Environmental Commission also voted in support of eliminating the chemical. The Netherlands and other countries See BAN, page 19
workshops in November BY JARED WHITLOCK Encinitas is rolling out workshops focused on the look and feel of housing element units. The five November workshops, one in each of Encinitas’ five communities, aim to get public input on housing element design guidelines and zoning standards. “These rules are important because we want to ensure that new housing is compatible with community character and is high quality in design,” stated Mike Strong, senior planner with the city. The Encinitas City Council is looking to put the housing element — a map listing locations throughout the city that can accommodate state-mandated housing — to a public vote in 2016. Last February, the council approved three maps with candidate housing element sites for environmental analysis. In January, the environmental documents will be released for 60-day public review. Around this time, the city will also hold an open house on the environmental analysis, Strong said. See HOUSING, page 19

Encinitas revises low-income housing rules, but may face legal challenge BY BARBARA HENRY, SPECIAL TO THE ENCINITAS ADVOCATE New regulations for higher-density housing projects won unanimous approval last week from the Encinitas City Council, but builder representatives are already threatening legal action. The new rules — approved during last week’s council meeting — lay out how Encinitas will adhere to a state law that, in part, requires cities to let builders boost the number of units in a housing project if some of those units are set aside for low-income residents. Encinitas’ first attempt at crafting a housing ordinance that reflects that law — yet satisfies local concerns — led to a lawsuit last year by the Building Industry Association of San Diego County, which ultimately cost the city $200,000 to settle. Officials have now taken another stab at a housing ordinance, but builders say it’s still not working. “Absent significant revisions to the draft ordinance, we do not see the benefit of further discussions or negotiations with the city,” David Meyer, president of DCM Properties Inc., wrote in a letter to city officials last week. He said the group would pursue the matter “through the California court system, likely leading to another costly legal expense for the taxpayers of Encinitas.” BIA officials have said the $200,000 settlement earlier this year only resolved part of
Public invited to weigh in on marine safety center at Moonlight Beach BY JARED WHITLOCK Residents are invited to weigh in on plans to replace the aging Moonlight Beach lifeguard tower with a new, 2,150-square-foot marine safety center. The meeting, part of the permitting process for the center, will be held at 6 p.m. on Oct. 29 at City Hall, 505 S. Vulcan Ave. Lifeguards say the current lifeguard tower is afflicted by concrete and termite damage, along with a leaky roof. It’s also too small to support lifeguard operations. The center, according to plans, will include a first aid room, locker room facilities, observation areas, a sheriff’s desk space and areas for lifeguard office operations as well as equipment storage. Design and construction costs are estimated to be about $3 million. The Encinitas City Council last year approved $13 million in bonds to pay for the marine safety center and the $10 million purchase of the 2.8-acre Pacific View property. City officials have stated construction is scheduled to begin sometime in 2016.

their issues with the city’s housing ordinance, and more legal action is likely. The source of conflict among the city, the building industry and people who live near potential development projects in Encinitas is a state law known as the “density bonus law.” Hugely controversial in Encinitas, the law allows developers to exceed city housing density limits on certain properties if they agree to set aside some new homes in their projects for low-income people. Proponents say the law helps reduce the state’s low-income housing shortage; opponents argue it’s been abused by developers looking for ways to skirt municipal zoning regulations. Criticism has been particularly fierce in Encinitas, where opponents contend that the city has gained very little low-income housing, but has had to put up with many new developments that contain far more homes than normally would be allowed. In response to intense community opposition to these “density bonus” projects — particularly the Desert Rose proposal for the city’s Olivenhain area — the City Council directed city planners to increase development restrictions last year. Those changes landed the city in court with the BIA. One part of those new restrictions — a requirement that a project’s low-income units had to be similar in size to its marketrate units — was dropped under the terms of the court settlement. A replacement requirement, which was approved at the council
meeting, requires that the low-income units and the market-rate ones have the same number of bedrooms, but doesn’t mandate that the square footage of the homes be similar. Under the new regulations, Encinitas also will continue to calculate a lot’s baseline housing density by “rounding down,” rather than “rounding up.” The BIA contends that state law requires the city to “round up” fractional units when calculating how many homes originally would be allowed on a given lot. Barbara Kautz, the attorney the city has hired to handle its density bonus legal issues, told the City Council that she thought the city would prevail in court on this issue. A third of the cities that she has contacted always round up and a third always round down, “so this seems to be a practice that’s determined locally,” she said. Councilwoman Catherine Blakespear, who’s an attorney herself, said she believed the new ordinance complied with state law and would help increase low-income housing in Encinitas. Bill Butler, an Olivenhain resident who has been one of the leaders in the fight against the Desert Rose project, said he wished the city could place more restrictions on density bonus projects, but said state law makes that difficult. “As I understand it, the ordinance has probably gone as far as you can go,” he said.
SDUHSD joins coalition fighting increased electricity costs for schools BY KAREN BILLING As a result of rate shock, the San Dieguito Union High School District board voted at its Oct. 15 meeting to join a collation of 38 other San Diego County districts to protect state funding being diverted to pay for escalating electricity costs. Associate Superintendent Eric Dill said county schools have been facing “massive increases” in electricity costs — an average 39 percent surge as a result of the General Rate Case approved by the California Public Utility Commission (PUC). Countywide, it is estimated that this escalation will cost public schools more than $25 million. While San Dieguito’s overall electrical consumption was flat last year, its annual bill went up by more than $300,000. Dill said these higher costs diverted nearly 20 percent of the state’s Local Control Funding Formula base grant toward paying electrical bills rather than its intended use of providing educational opportunities to students. “Unlike businesses, which can pass increased costs of doing business on to their customers, schools do not have the ability to generate revenue to absorb utility increases,” Dill said. “We cannot adjust our business hours, we cannot relocate and we cannot close the doors on our children.” By joining the coalition of 38 school districts in the county, the board is asking for solutions like enacting legislation to create a separate rate class for school districts, capping costs, providing a guaranteed bill credit or grandfathering rates for schools to help preserve state funding from going to public utilities rather than to education.

New San Elijo Lagoon nursery sows native plants BY JARED WHITLOCK Native plants are needed to restore the San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve, but many of them can’t be found commercially. That’s where the new San Elijo Nursery, one of the few of its kind in Southern California, comes in. San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy officials and donors on Oct. 21 cut the ribbon on the nursery, located near the reserve’s Santa Inez trailhead, on the border of Cardiff and Solana Beach. In a cloth greenhouse onsite, conservancy biologists are overseeing an effort to propagate plants that are native to the 979-acre reserve. When mature, they’ll be used to restore the lagoon, creating habitat for wildlife. Another goal of the effort: public engagement. “This offers another opportunity to bring the community to the reserve to learn about the habitat — its value, its importance,” said Doug Gibson, conservancy executive director and principal scientist, during a speech at the ribbon cutting. Students, along with the rest of the community, will be able to get their hands dirty at the nursery, learning the art and science of horticulture. The hope is that they’ll also gain a greater appreciation of natural areas and land stewardship, Gibson said. “Volunteers and students will help with planting, for example, or separating seeds from plants so they can be placed into soil,” he said. “Someone might not be interested in volunteering to pull weeds, but maybe they’re interested in this.” Gibson said he’s wanted a lagoon nursery for years, but was initially reluctant to pursue it because similar endeavors across Southern California didn’t last. But, he later told the Encinitas Advocate, the conservancy is now to the point where it has a strong volunteer base that will play a big role in the nursery over time. And thanks to established conservancy
education programs, volunteer stewards will be trained in gathering native plant seeds in the reserve and propagation. “I’m confident this will be something that has enough support to continue and perpetuate itself,” Gibson said. The 1,000-square-foot nursery, which broke ground last spring, can hold 3,000 seedlings. Propagation will focus on native plants such as coastal sage scrub and southern maritime chaparral. Many plants native to the reserve aren’t commercially available. For those that are, the conservancy in the past often had to wait for contract growers to scour and collect seeds. Gibson said the nursery will make the conservancy more self-reliant, as well as reducing the group’s carbon footprint and likely saving on costs. “If there’s a plant species we want to enhance, we’ll already have a seed bank for it,” he said. The nursery will aid restoration in conservancy focus areas, such as Stonebridge Mesa, at the eastern end of the reserve. Joe DeWolf, community restoration program specialist, said the conservancy will only collect and propagate plants that are native to the lagoon. “We want to protect the genetic integrity of the lagoon, which is important for restoration,” DeWolf said. The plants and seeds in the nursery aren’t for sale, he noted. The nursery is on San Diego County land, and it’s made possible through a partnership with the county Department of Parks and Recreation. Funding and support came from the Elizabeth Leonard Family Foundation, Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club, Oakhurst Builders and Ned & DeeDee Reynolds. Also, Supervisor Dave Roberts allocated county neighborhood reinvestment funds toward equipment purchases. Visit www.sanelijo.org to learn more about the conservancy and future events.

10 Questions for Encinitas educator Yvonne Andrés of Global SchoolNet 10 Questions is an Encinitas Advocate feature spotlighting interesting people in the community. Dr. Yvonne Marie Andrés is an Encinitas educator who is recognized as an e-learning pioneer and visionary. She is the president and CEO of the nonprofit Global SchoolNet Foundation and founder of the Global Schoolhouse. Andrés began her career as a Title I teacher, school-based program coordinator, and technology mentor for the Oceanside Unified School District. Her activities include designing, producing and facilitating programs that demonstrate the power of engaging San Diego youth in projects that focus on their local community, while increasing global awareness. Named one of the 25 most influential people worldwide in education technology, in 2000 she was invited to meet with President Bush to launch the Friendship Through Education initiative. She is the creator and producer of International CyberFair and the U.S. State Department’s Doors to Diplomacy program. She frequently writes about effective education programs from around the globe that blend online and offline learning. She has provided leadership throughout the U.S., Canada, Asia, Europe, Australia, South America and Africa, and in 2007, was awarded the Soroptimist International Making a Difference Award for advancing the status of women and children. In August 2012, Andrés was selected as one of San Diego Magazine’s Women Who Move the City, recognizing dynamic women who create positive change and contribute to the community. In 1992, Andrés developed and coordinated the original Global Schoolhouse Project with a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation, digitally bringing together youth from Tennessee, Virginia, California, and England to conduct an environmental watershed pollution study and share findings via state-of-the-art video conferencing using desktop computers and the Internet. Andrés wrote “CERF’n Safari: Educators’ Guide to the Internet,” the first teacher’s Internet guide. In 1994, she accepted an appointment to the Governor’s Information Technology Council for California, where she co-authored “Getting Results.” Andrés co-wrote Cisco System’s “Going to School on the Internet” and “Harnessing the Power of the Web for Classroom Use.” She also wrote Apple’s “Getting Started on the Internet.” She was the executive producer of Dr. Jane Goodall’s first website and Microsoft’s first education website. In 2014, Andrés co-wrote “CyberFair: Opening the Doors to Collaboration” and “School and the Community: Collaboration in the Context of New Educational Standards: Experiences of Russia and the United States.” These two publications reveal successful models for collaboration among schools, nonprofits and businesses — in the context of the new educational standards in Russia and the United States. She is now co-chair of the Youth and Education working group of the U.S.-Russia Social Expertise Exchange (SEE). This program encourages cross-cultural understanding, preparing young people of both countries to work to solve or prevent global problems via student-centered methods such as education exchanges, seminars, and conferences. What brought you to Encinitas? I am originally from New York and moved to Oceanside after college, where I began my teaching career. I moved to Encinitas in 1998 because it has a very positive “vibe” and because of the abundance of educational and spiritual offerings. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in Encinitas? I would add more live entertainment and cultural events. And, I would like to see the La Paloma movie theater improved and become part of the Landmark Theater family, showing quality independent films. I would also add more safe bike paths. I can’t think of anything I would subtract, except for the terrible back-up of traffic trying to get onto the freeway at Manchester. Who or what inspires you? Two categories of people inspire me: 1) People who are highly creative — musicians, artists, film producers, writers, inventors, etc. 2) People who give back to the community, without expecting personal gain in return. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, who (living or deceased) would you invite?
Dr. Yvonne Andres is president and CEO of the nonprofit Global SchoolNet Foundation. “The most challenging aspect of my job is finding the resources to reach more youth,” she says. Courtesy photo I choose living folks — who I would love to exchange my own ideas with. These folks would include Stephen Colbert, Ray Kurzwell, Bill Gates, Alvin Toffler, Dr. Jane Goodall, President Obama, Vladimir Putin, Oprah Winfrey — and of course you, to write about this amazing dinner. What are your favorite movies? This is a very long list, because I really, really love films and going to film fests. However, my favorites are those that make me laugh or think more deeply about topics, such as “Good Will Hunting,” “Back to the Future,” “Forrest Gump,” “Network,” “Sideways,” “Run Lola Run,” “Nebraska,” etc. What’s the most challenging aspect of what you do, and what’s the most rewarding? The most challenging aspect of my job is finding the resources to reach more youth. This is especially problematic in a time when youth need to develop global perspectives on important issues such as economics, business, technology, environment, diplomacy, culture and other challenges of international and cultural awareness and understanding. What do you do for fun? Play tennis, badminton, bike riding, camping, watching films, live music, and hanging out with my adorable Chihuahuas. What is it that you most dislike? “Glass half empty” complainers and chronic worriers. It’s hard to be positive, productive, or be an effective problem-solver when someone is complaining or worrying about every little thing. What do you hope to accomplish next? My biggest wish is to modernize the Global SchoolNet website (first built in 1994) so that we can engage more youth and improve more communities in more countries. What is your motto or philosophy of life? Great love and great achievement involve great risk.
Recycled water facilities closer to reality as regional environmental report is approved On behalf of its North San Diego Water Reuse Coalition partners, Olivenhain Municipal Water District’s Board of Directors certified at its Oct. 14 meeting the Final Program Environmental Impact Report for the North San Diego Water Reuse Coalition Regional Recycled Water Project. The Program Environmental Impact Report was prepared to establish baseline conditions for the project and to disclose potential environmental impacts and mitigations necessary to complete its construction. The project is a comprehensive, cross-jurisdictional partnership matching areas of high recycled water demand to facilities that can produce enough recycled water to meet that demand. The project also explores implementing advanced water treatment to reuse water for potable purposes. Water recycling and reuse reduces North County’s dependence on increasingly scarce and expensive imported water, and helps the agencies to achieve the state-mandated potable water reduction of 20 percent by the year 2020. “Our region has established a tradition of collaboration and cooperation among neighboring agencies and cities,” said Ed Sprague, president of the OMWD Board of Directors. “This is yet another mutually beneficial infrastructure project that will allow us to better serve our ratepayers and the residents of North County.” Dennis Lamb, general manager of Vallecitos Water District, said, “With the need to diversify and look to all sources of water, the coalition has brought both sides of our industry together, adding the reuse of our wastewater resources to the region’s portfolio and looking to the protection of the ocean by reducing or eliminating ocean discharges of treated water.” The participating agencies — Carlsbad Municipal Water District, City of Escondido, Leucadia Wastewater District, City of Oceanside, Olivenhain Municipal Water District, Rincon del Diablo Municipal Water District, San Elijo Joint Powers Authority, Santa Fe Irrigation District, Vallecitos Water District, and Vista Irrigation District — began collaboration in 2010 to more cost-effectively reduce potable water use at a regional level through water re-
cycling and reuse. Work on the Program Environmental Impact Report followed in 2010 when the coalition developed its first memorandum of understanding. The group developed a Regional Recycled Water Facilities Plan in 2011, and many individual elements of the project have already begun. Upon completion of all long-term projects, the North San Diego Water Reuse Coalition Regional Recycled Water Project will add nearly 32 million gallons per day of recycled water and potable reuse water to North County’s water supply portfolio, offsetting the annual water demand of more than 70,000 households. “I strongly support cost-effective, regional solutions for developing critical water infrastructure,” said David Zito, Solana Beach deputy mayor and chair of the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority, “especially when these projects create locally produced, drought-resistant water supply.” To date, the project has earned nearly $5 million in grant funding from the California Department of Water Resources. Also, the coalition continues to work with San Diego County’s federal representatives in hopes of achieving up to $50 million in federal funding for the project. These pursuits have significantly reduced the costs of infrastructure investment to North County ratepayers. “Once again, our region is showing a proactive approach by expanding the ways we provide water to our ratepayers,” said Kimberly Thorner, general manager of OMWD. “This multi-agency approach establishes a workable method to water reuse throughout North County. Ultimately, it will expand our ability to provide water to our customers while protecting ratepayer funds.” Added Greg Thomas, general manager of Rincon del Diablo Municipal Water District, “Rincon Water is very proud to be a member of the NSDWRC, working closely together with sister agencies to produce a sustainable water portfolio for our customers’ long-term benefits.” — Olivenhain Municipal Water District press release

DreamWorks Studio chief talks business to Bishop’s students BY JAMES PALEN Students at The Bishop’s School had an opportunity to talk one-on-one with DreamWorks Studios Chief Operating Officer Jeff Small recently, taking back to the classroom a message promoting hard work and hope for those dreaming of careers in the filmmaking industry. Small, who joined DreamWorks in 2006 and works there under director Steven Spielberg, was invited to the school Oct. 15 as part of The Bishop’s School’s Endowed Leadership Lecture Series, which dates to 2003 and has included such speakers as famed San Diego Padres’ pitcher Trevor Hoffman and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. After a light-hearted and joke-filled presentation about his rise from working at Walt Disney Studios to his role at DreamWorks today, Small fielded questions from the curious crowd of sixth- through 12thgrade students, who wondered about everything from what his favorite movie was to how a studio knows when to take a chance on a little-known actor. One of those students was senior Dylan Rohn, who said that while he used to tell himself he wanted to be a filmmaker, he’s realized he already is one. “I’ve pretty much been making films as long as I can remember,” Rohn said. “I’m making one right now. I keep increasing my levels of professionalism.” Known in the area’s filmmaking crowd as a rising young producer of multiple short documentaries, Rohn has been involved in the Teen Producers Project since before he started high school. His projects, including the 7-minute film “Problem Solved” — written, directed and edited by Rohn — have
won awards and have at times been featured on the KPBS News Hour. Rohn asked Small how industry professionals can find a balance between the money-driven business side and the part that drove them to enter it in the first place — their passion — while minimizing any conflict between the two. “I’m looking at it from the artistic perspective,” Rohn said. “This is something that really brings a level of joy to my life that nothing else can approach.” Small said the basic economics of filmmaking make for a symbiotic relationship between artistic and financial motivations, making little need for a filmmaker to compromise his passion as his main source of motivation. “The joke is that movies don’t make money unless they’re good,” Small said. “It all starts with a great story. It all starts with a great filmmaker. And very few filmmakers make movies because they want to make money. They really don’t. At some point, they do want to make money — let’s be honest — but they really make it for the reasons that you say.” Spielberg’s movies, Small added, are made because the stories speak to him creatively, and that artistic connection to a film is what would give it a greater shot at economic success, he suggested. During the roughly 45-minute allschool assembly, Small referred to the various roles any of the students interested in the film industry could fill if filmmaking was their passion. “I got into the movie business, and I came from a long way away in Marietta, Georgia,” Small said. “This is not the rubber tire business; it is the movie business. But if
Senior Dylan Rohn was one of several students choosing to sit down one-on-one with DreamWorks Studios COO Jeff Small after an assembly Oct. 15 at The Bishop’s School. Photo by James Palen you decide it’s what you want to do, I have no doubt that you’re going to do it.” Discussions arranging Small’s appearance at The Bishop’s School began more than a year ago, he said, after separate planning had begun for him to participate in the school’s annual auction to raise money for student financial aid and faculty growth. School spokeswoman Keri Peckham didn’t reveal how much the “Lunch With Jeff Small” auction item raised, but staff said it raised enough to help with scholarship programs. The idea of bringing Small in for an all-school assembly as a part of the package seemed natural, Peckham said. “We realized in speaking to him (about the auction) that he would be a great candidate for the Endowed Leadership Lecture Series,” she said. After the assembly, Small met for lunch with the auction winners, and later attended a private reception and pre-release screening of the DreamWorks film “Bridge of Spies,” starring Tom Hanks, at La Jolla’s new luxury cinema, The LOT.

Dia de los Muertos festivities coming Nov. 1 to Encinitas Community Center Encinitas Friends of the Arts (EFA) and the city of Encinitas Arts Division announce the second Encinitas Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival. The free event takes place from 1-5 p.m. Nov. 1 at the Encinitas Community and Senior Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive, Encinitas, CA 92024. The historical roots of the celebration date to the pre-Hispanic cultures of MesoAmerica and the indigenous peoples, especially the Nahua (Aztecs, Mayans, Toltecas, Tlaxcaltec, Chichimec, Tecpanec) and others native to Mexico for more than 3,000 years. Dia de los Muertos expresses a positive perspective; it is not a mournful commemoration but a happy and colorful celebration where death takes a lively, friendly expression and is not frightening or strange. “This event raises awareness and an appreciation for this significant Latino cultural celebration,” said Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar. Danza Azteca Yolotli will start the celebration by blessing the Ofrenda with ancient traditional dances. Other performers are Ma- Nadia Arambula, director of Ballet Folkriachi Divinas, Ballet Folklorico de San Die- lorico de San Dieguito, performs at last guito, Ballet Folklorico El Tapatio, Mariachi year’s Dia de los Muertos festival. CourteJuvenil Azteca, Ballet Folklorico Buena Vista, sy photo and Besos de Coco, the hot Latin jazz trio. The event includes art workshops for children, artist demonstrations, a student exhibit by Paul Ecke Central school, a Catrina Contest for the best skull makeup, and opportunity drawings throughout the day. Outside will be food trucks, vendors, and the Por Siempre Car Club with ofrendas — remembrance altars — in the trunks. A Community Ofrenda will feature a replica of the Surfing Madonna by artist Mark Patterson. “Adding the Surfing Madonna to the Ofrenda makes this a uniquely Encinitas event,” said city Arts Administrator Jim Gilliam.

CCA Envision cinema students Fairgrounds officials call Kaaboo Festival a win big at New York festival hit with merchants, despite noise complaints BY GLORIA LIMAS Canyon Crest Academy Envision Cinema Conservatory students won awards in multiple categories at the All American High School Film Festival in New York City, the largest high school film festival in the world. “The All American High School Film Festival was a great experience for our students,” said CCA Envision Cinema Coordinator Mark Raines, who noted that it speaks to the caliber of students in the Envision Cinema program. “To have nine Canyon Crest Academy Envision Cinema Conservatory films in the world’s largest students TJ Gascho, Julia Eliju, Chris Razniak and high school film festival is Thomas Wade. Courtesy photo quite an accomplishment for one school program.” Filmmakers Julia Elihu, Erin Bentel, Daria Miller and Danny Sandler won the Overall Audience Choice Awards under the Teen Indie Awards with their film, “Celine & Simon.” The film was also named a finalist for Best Drama, Best Direction and Best Screenplay. The film “Lily’s Journey” was named a Best Documentary finalist. It was produced by Julia Elihu, Andrew Boyles, Gabrielle de Boucaud, Thomas Wade, and Akeel Najimudeen. Julia Elihu was named a female rising star finalist for the featured films she co-directed, “Lily’s Journey” and “Celine & Simon.” The festival also recognized her as a finalist in the Rising Star category, an award for up-and-coming female filmmakers. “Winning the Audience Choice Award was really exciting, for myself personally and for the Envision Cinema Conservatory program at CCA as a whole, because the honor came from the largest high school film festival,” said Julia. “It really demonstrated to me how my film was not only able to affect people in my local community but also people from all across the country and from other parts of the world. It was also powerful to see how people were able to relate to the film in different ways.” Raines said more than 1,400 student films were submitted to the festival from 48 states and 31 countries. CCA had nine films selected to be featured in the more than 300 films screened at the festival. The student filmmakers traveled with teacher Mark Raines to the awards ceremony in New York.

BY JOE TASH Del Mar Fairgrounds officials gave high marks to the first-ever Kaaboo music festival which was held at the state-owned property in September, and said they are looking forward to the event’s return next year. The comments came Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the board meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, the agency that oversees the fairgrounds. Kaaboo’s director of community relations, Julie Coleman, was at the meeting to make a presentation to the board. Earlier in the day, she met with officials from Del Mar and Solana Beach. “This was a home run,” said fairgrounds general manager Tim Fennell of the music, food and arts festival, which was held Sept. 18-20. “Everybody who came had a fabulous time.” Kaaboo officials have declined to release attendance figures for the threeday festival, which included seven stages and more than 100 musical acts such as headliners No Doubt, the Zac Brown Band and the Killers.
“We’re a private company. We try to keep things close to the vest,” Coleman said. Apparently, the festival’s organizers did not even share attendance figures with 22nd DAA officials, which prompted board member Stephen Shewmaker to request the information on a confidential basis. Fennell said he estimated the event drew 50,000 to 60,000 people over the three days, which he expects to increase by at least 20 percent next year, “just from word of mouth, it was that good of an event.” Both Coleman and fairgrounds officials reported no major traffic, parking or security issues. The biggest complaint, said Coleman, was regarding noise, especially on Sunday, when the heat and humidity were high and caused the sound to carry further. Many complaints came from as far away as Carmel Valley and Del Mar Heights, she said. “We’re working with the team to reduce those noise impacts for future years,” she said. All outdoor music and
amplified sound ended promptly at 10 p.m., and that will continue next year. In addition, the festival’s organizers will increase sound monitoring equipment, analyze stage locations and install more sound “blocking and diffusing elements,” in order to decrease the number of noise complaints, Coleman said. Next year’s festival is planned for Sept. 16-18, and organizers, although pleased with the first-year attendance, expect more people to turn out in 2016, Coleman said. She added that they will be prepared to deal with the traffic and security issues that come with larger crowds. While some nearby residents may not have liked the sounds emanating from the fairgrounds, the event was a big hit with local businesses. Representatives of two Del Mar hotels told the 22nd DAA board Tuesday that the event boosted revenues during what is normally a slow month, and See KAABOO, page 18

‘Wellness doctor’ helps students at Rancho Encinitas Academy learn to deal with stress
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KRISTINA HOUCK With classwork, exams, homework and extracurriculars, school can be a stressful time for students. That’s why two local schools are showing students how to cope with their stress. “The earlier kids learn to deal with stress, the better,” said Dr. Brian Alman, a 25-year Encinitas resident who has a practice in Del Mar. “They’re going to have anxiety and stress their whole life. It doesn’t go away with age.” This is the second year Alman has provided students at Rancho Encinitas Academy and Encinitas Academy at REA with tools to manage their stress and practice selfhelp strategies. With more than 35 years of experience and nine books on health and wellness, Alman holds monthly workshops so students can learn the simple techniques he outlined in his latest book, “Less Stress for Kids: A Stress-Management Program for Parents, Teachers, and Children K-8.” “I’ve learned through research, writing and working with people what works and what doesn’t,” Alman said. The techniques can take as little as a few seconds or as long as a few minutes. One simple trick students have learned is to say their name as they exhale. This helps them focus on their breathing and quickly alleviate anxiety. “It has to work and it has to be quick, because if it doesn’t work right away, people aren’t going to practice it,” Alman said. For those that like the technique, Alman encourages them to also state their goal as they inhale. “You will automatically relax and feel more comfortable within two or three
breaths,” he said. “If it’s your own name and your own goal, it will always work.” When the program launched last year, Alman held sessions for teachers and parents so they, too, could help students learn to breathe, relax and take care of themselves. Since the training, teachers have had copies of the book and continue to practice a new technique with their students every week. “Dr. Alman has not only taught students numerous ways to deal with stress and anxiety in their lives, but his book has also continued, beyond our session with him, to give my students the tools they need to not only recognize the signs of stress, but to give each student numerous different ways to turn that stress into something positive,” said third- and fourth-grade teacher Claire Killeen. Karey Jaeger, a middle school teacher who serves as co-director of Edison Academy, agreed. “Our school strives to provide an environment where our students grow personally, socially and academically,” she said. “My students have greatly benefited from the sessions. They report using the techniques in many different situations.” Established in 1990, Encinitas Academy serves students with mild to moderate learning disabilities in third through eighth grade. Rancho Encinitas Academy opened five years later with a mainstream school for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Headed by Director Paul Wulle, both private schools are now located on the same two-acre campus in Encinitas, where they have a combined 70 students.
Dr. Brian Alman Courtesy photo Dr. Brian Alman working with students. Photo/Chad Voisen “In all the schools I’ve taught at all around the country, this one stands out as the most personalized, holistic and caring atmosphere,” said Alman, whose seventh grade daughter, Alaina, attends Rancho Encinitas Academy. Both schools offer small classes that emphasize a child-centered approach to learning. Curriculum is aligned with Common Core Standards. Art, music, physical education and yoga classes are also available. Alman’s program is one of the newest offerings at the campus. Students said they have benefited from the wellness sessions both at school and outside of school. “When I was mad at my brother, I used the inhale thing and stopped myself,” Gianni wrote in a testimonial.
“I remember he told me how to fall asleep and it worked,” Sophia wrote. “We closed our eyes and there was music, and we felt like we were somewhere else,” Tanner wrote. Despite a busy schedule with private clients and workshops, Alman looks forward to his sessions with the students every month. Another session for teachers and parents is also planned for this school year. “I love helping people help themselves,” he said. For more about Alman, visit www.drbrianalman.com.

‘End of the Rainbow’ promises sincere, sober look at Garland late in career BY DIANE Y. WELCH Intrepid Theatre Co. of Encinitas recently announced its next presentation for Season Six, a San Diego premiere of Peter Quilter’s “End of the Rainbow.” The production will be staged at the Lyceum Space Theatre in Horton Plaza, downtown San Diego, opening Nov. 1, running through Nov. 29. An Olivier Award and Tony Award nominee, “End of the Rainbow” is a musical drama based on iconic star Judy Garland’s comeback concerts in Christmas 1968 that portrays the singer/actress as she struggles to rekindle her career after failed marriages, suicide attempts and addiction. The comedic drama features an ensemble of Garland’s famed hit songs and displays both the glamour and the melancholy of stardom. Acclaimed international actress Eileen Bowman — recent recipient of the Craig Noel Award for playing Adelaide in Lamb’s Players’ “Guys and Dolls” — performs the lead role of Garland. In the show, Garland is 46, and with the most recent love-of-her-life, Mickey Deans, at her side, she attempts to recapture her youthful magic and find lasting happiness. “It’s very exciting to be playing Garland,” said Bowman. “I’ve never played anyone who has actually existed,” she added. “It’s a daunting task, you want to get it right.” Bowman has an “uncanny ability to capture the humor, beauty and reckless nature of this infamous silver screen icon,” said Intrepid’s artistic director, Christy YaelCox.
Fascinated with Garland as a child, Bowman watched her in “The Harvey Girls” and “Meet Me in St. Louis” and was so intrigued with the star that she did a book report in grade Eileen Bowman as Judy school based Garland. Photo courtesy on Garland’s of Simpatika.com biography. “I remember thinking her life was so traumatic, even back then, and that no one should have to go through what she went through,” said Bowman about the abuse that Garland suffered as a product of the film industry. As an actress, Bowman feels that vulnerable pain. “We’ve been doing some very heavy scenes in rehearsals. You go to a place that can be very dangerous, so you have to know when to pull out.” There is also a depth of despair in the character. “To play that, I really have to navigate myself to a safe place to protect myself,” Bowman stressed. The show hits highs and lows emotionally. “Judy Garland was hysterically funny and had a cutting sense of humor,” said Bowman. “But when she got drunk or got high on something, that sense of humor would cut right to the bone.”
In the show, Garland is depicted with the duality of her inner child contrasting with her professional persona. “So we see her humor, but also witness her awful, awful potty mouth. She cursed like a sailor, but that’s who she was,” said Bowman, who commented that the challenging role will be a pivotal one. “I feel like I’m growing up playing this role,” she added. Yael-Cox’s approach to the show is one of subtlety; her direction as a woman brings a sensitivity to the role of Garland by peel-
ing off a complexity of layers to reveal and understand her character. “Christy is a smart, smart woman and she is treating this show with velvet gloves. It’s not about a drugged-out woman, we are going in-depth into her in a sensitive, scaled-down way, and hopefully the audience will feel everything that we are going through,” Bowman said.

Film showing, book sale to benefit Encinitas Educational Foundation From the team of filmmakers who brought us “Race to Nowhere” (2010), “Beyond Measure” (2015) shines a light on tenacious and cutting-edge alternatives changing school in America. Presented by the Encinitas Educational Foundation, the film will be shown at 9 a.m. ($15) and 7 p.m. ($20) on Nov. 10 at La Paloma Theatre, 471 S. Coast Highway 101, Encinitas. Tickets: http://www.eefonline.org/beyond-measure. Where “Race to Nowhere”(2010) achieved national prominence from examining stress among young students from competitiveness and overscheduling in school and at home. “Beyond Measure” follows public schools across America as educators take matters into their own hands, innovating from the inside by challenging our high-stakes education culture, even at the risk of their own jobs. The film’s featured educators are the advance guard in a rapidly increasing national movement to reinvent school. The film’s release coincides with the release of director Vicki Abeles’ new book, also titled “Beyond Measure.” The book suggests steps big and small that readers can take to reclaim their schools and their children’s lives. “Beyond Measure” is available at Barnes and Noble Booksellers in Encinitas and will be sold during both film showings on Nov. 10. From Nov. 9-14, the store will donate a percentage of the proceeds from the book’s sale to the Encinitas Educational Foundation. A portion of the night’s proceeds from D Street Bar & Grill or The Roxy Restaurant, near La Paloma Theatre, will also be donated to Encinitas Educational Foundation, so stop by before or after the show.

Puppy abandoned on 10th floor of Grand ‘Power of Parenting’ forum offered Hyatt San Diego now ‘checked in’ at RCHS Oct. 28 at San Dieguito Academy A tiny shepherd-mix puppy abandoned on the 10th floor of San Diego’s Grand Hyatt Hotel has been transferred to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) in Encinitas, where it is expected to be available for adoption in about a month. The puppy was found wandering the 10th floor of the hotel last week. When an elevator door opened, the pup tried to board. A quickthinking guest who saw that the puppy wasn’t going make it in time blocked the door to keep the pup from being crushed. Hotel officials checked with every guest on the 10th floor. None Hyatt will be put of them claimed the puppy. They nicknamed him “Hyatt Hound,” and up for adoption he stayed in an office at the Grand Hyatt for two days, giving the ownat the RCHS. er an opportunity to claim him. In a Facebook post, the Grand Hyatt stated, “Thankfully, we are a pet-friendly hotel and therefore have all the means to love and care for him while we find him a good home.” When nobody came forward, Hyatt Hound was taken to the County of San Diego Department of Animal Services, then transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through the FOCAS program on Oct. 15. He is expected to remain in private foster care until he is 8 weeks old, then become available for adoption. “As close as we can tell, little Hyatt looks like he might be a German shepherd mix,” said RCHS Foster Care Coordinator Kelly Peters. “He weighs 2 1/2 pounds and appears to be between four and five weeks old. He will get a complete medical examination and he will have up-to-date vaccinations and be neutered before he is adopted. He will also have a registered microchip. That will assure that he can be identified if he ever goes wandering again.” “In spite of the circumstances, Hyatt is a lucky puppy,” said Kathy Zerkle, vice president of adoption services at RCHS. “Unfortunately, puppies get abandoned every day. This is the first time we’ve ever had a puppy abandoned on the 10th floor of luxury hotel.” For information about Hyatt puppy and other dogs, cats, and rabbits that need forever homes, or to make a donation to help pay for Hyatt’s care, visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza St. in Encinitas, call 760-753-6413, or visit www.sdpets.org.

The state density bonus law encourages developers to build more units per acre than local zoning allows, ostensibly for the sake of including one or more affordable units. For example, a proposed Leucadia density bonus project would be nine houses, including one affordable unit, where local zoning would allow only five. For Encinitas density bonus projects, “affordable” means the state/federal very low- and low-income categories apply. For a household of four, very low income is $41,300, while low income is $66,100. Both are maximums. To rent a three-bedroom unit, very low-income earners can pay $949 per month, and low-income earners can pay $1,139. To buy that unit, very low-income earners can pay $949, while low-income earners can pay $1,328. To date, there have been 18 density bonus projects completed in Encinitas. Nine more are far enough along in the process not to be affected by the new density bonus ordinance. Those 27 projects contain 573 units. Of those, 49 (8.6 percent) are or will be affordable. Of the 38 affordable units completed and occupied, 35 are rented and three were sold. How many of the 11 affordable units in the nine pending projects will be rented or sold is not yet known. City staff provided the facts and figures cited above in response to a public records request. Doug Fiske, Leucadia

We still operate out of the little yellow house where it began, but today we’re surrounded by a thriving community. Rancho Coastal Humane Society is asking our supporters, friends, and neighbors to Give, Love, and Grow with us.” For tickets or information about sponsorship and donation opportunities, visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza St. in Encinitas, visit www.sdpets.org, call 760753-6413, or e-mail Nick Winfrey at nwinfrey@sdpets.org.

PET OF THE WEEK ELLEN, a 1-year-old Rex mix, and Portia, a 1-year-old Silver Marten mix, are two sweet girls in need of a new family to call their own. They were transferred into our care as part of Rabbit Rescue 2015, in which 83 rabbits were rescued from a Southern California farm. Since entering our care, they have received medical care, a nutritious diet and loving care for the first time in their lives. Ellen and Portia can be a bit shy, but are easy to handle and pick up. They would love to find a home together that will give them the care they need and the space to run and play. They will need to be housed inside where they can feel safe and comfortable. Ellen and Portia are available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Oceanside Campus at 572 Airport Road. To learn more about making them part of your family, please call (760) 757-4357.

they want the event to come back. “We’re excited about the future, we’re excited about next year. We see nothing but upside for the community,” said Bob Harter, director of sales and marketing for L’Auberge Del Mar. According to Coleman, the average age of attendees was 38, and average household income was above $100,000. The composition of the audience was 43 percent male and 57 percent female, according to her presentation. The event generated an estimated $218,000 in sales tax on merchandise, food, beverages and vending, while local hotels were sold out for the weekend, generating transient occupancy tax of more than $65,000, Coleman reported. A report on the 22nd DAA board agenda said Kaaboo received favorable reports from the Sheriff’s Department and there were no security or traffic issues. Among the festival’s attractions were a Sunset Cliffs stage, which included a beach, boardwalk, volleyball court, swimming pool, cabanas, beach chairs and “elegant, air-conditioned portable restrooms,” said the report. The festival also included an art show, premier wine tasting, gourmet food and vendors. Fennell said the 22nd DAA will net between $800,000 and $900,000 from the event, including rent, parking fees and other sources of revenue. Among the issues raised by board members was that people who called to complain during the event were only able to leave a voice-mail message. While Coleman said festival staff returned all calls by the next day, director Russ Penniman said it would be better to have the calls answered by live staff. “Somebody needs to actually be there. People get frustrated when they hear the machine,” Penniman said.

have restricted the use of glyphosates, citing potential health impacts. Glyphosate isn’t the first pesticide to be targeted for a ban in Encinitas. A year ago, the Parks and Recreation department stopped using neonicotinoid insecticides on city property. Studies have implicated neonicotinoids — commonly sprayed on trees, shrubs and lawns — in the bee die-off. Two weeks ago, the city began testing a pesticide-free area at Glen Park because of health and environmental concerns. If organically maintaining the park is deemed a success, the initiative could move to more or all city parks. But one drawback of a chemical-free approach is that it would probably be more expensive, city staff noted this summer. Alternatives to glyphosates cost 80 percent more, but the added expense could be potentially offset, since non-glyphosate solutions have higher dilution rates and would be strategically applied. The agenda item didn’t draw any public speakers. Commissioners John Gjata and Joseph Mosca were absent from the meeting, and one of the commission seats is vacant.

The Encinitas Planning Commission and council this spring are slated to whittle down candidate sites and settle on a final map. Then, a vote on whether to approve the map will be held November 2016. The city’s push to certify a housing element, which entails rezoning select parcels for higher density to accommodate 1,300 units, comes after years of stops and starts. Residents a few years ago vehemently opposed a plan to cluster housing elements on El Camino Real, leading the city to reboot the process. Council has made the case that an approved housing element would reduce the chance of lawsuits from affordable housing developers and make the city eligible for more grants. The upcoming workshops will be an open-house style format. Written feedback will be collected during the meetings and be part of the public record, Strong said. The first workshop will be held 6-8 p.m. on Nov. 5 at Cardiff Elementary School, 1888 Montgomery Avenue. Visit athomeinencinitas.info for additional workshop locations and dates.
TENNIS

Deb Abrahamson, the JV tennis coach for 18 years and fitness instructor at SDA, adds a motherly touch to the coaching staff, players and other coaches agreed. She’s a part of what each of the coaches half-jokingly called a “three-headed monster” of coaching. “We love it,” Abrahamson said. “We don’t know what we’d do with ourselves at 3:10 when the bell rings and we couldn’t come out on the tennis courts.” She added the new courts are a major milestone for SDA tennis. Looking back at other significant moments, she noted the team has participated in breast cancer awareness events, such as Race for the Cure San Diego. Also, players wear pink in October to raise awareness. “Wearing pink has caught on with other teams,” she said. “We’re proud of that.” The tradition began as a way to honor Tomasi’s late sister, who died of breast cancer nearly a dozen years ago. In turn, Tomasi has been involved with breast cancer education. Notably, Tomasi and players have attended seminars at Scripps Hospital on the topic. That’s one reason the California Coaches Association recognized him a decade ago for his dedication to coaching and caring in the community. “Her passing was very unfortunate, but it did happen, and a lot of people have done good things in the aftermath,” Tomasi said. The SDA tennis program has won a number of league championships over the years, and Tomasi said the teams continue to get better. These days, the program can compete with the best schools in the area, he added. “Kids are making the choice to come to SDA because of our program,” he said. A Tacoma, Wash., native, he played tennis in college, but had to give it up after injuring his neck and left shoulder in a car accident. Being sidelined was difficult to stomach, but later, he discovered a passion for coaching. “I love this,” he said. “Twenty years later, I’m still jumping up and down when good things happen on the court.” He encouraged tennis enthusiasts and former players to attend the Nov. 14 doubles tournament. “We always like seeing people in the community and catching up with former players.” Registration for the tournament is $35 if paid by Nov. 9, with proceeds benefiting the tennis program.
