Former NFL player faces rape charges

“As far as everyone else knew, Carlie was a fun-spirited person to be around.”

Son of Chargers star denied bail

City News Service

REGION — Former NFL tight end Kellen Winslow II pleaded not guilty June 15 to charges that he allegedly kidnapped and raped two women and sexually assaulted three others in Encinitas over the past several months.

Vista Superior Court Judge Robert Dahlquist said Winslow was a danger to the public and ordered him held without bail.

Winslow, 34, was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of burglarizing a residence in a mobile home park. He bailed out of jail and was re-arrested June 14 on an outstanding warrant charging him with kidnapping, forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sodomy, indecent exposure and residential burglary.

Deputy District Attorney Dan Owens said Winslow is suspected of luring a 54-year-old transient — who was hitchhiking — into his Hummer, where he allegedly raped her on March 17.

Winslow allegedly picked up a 59-year-old woman on May 13 and raped and sodomized her, Owens alleged.

Owens said Winslow allegedly threatened to murder those victims if they screamed.

Winslow allegedly exposed himself on May 24 to a 55-year-old woman attending to her garden, Owens said. Winslow is also accused of breaking into the homes of a 71-year-old and an 86-year-old woman at the mobile home park on June 1 and June 7.

Winslow was put under surveillance after his June 7 arrest.

Owens would not say when the alleged crimes were reported or how long the Sheriff’s Department knew of the prior incidents.

Winslow faces multiple life terms, if convicted. He is due back in court June 25.

Family and friends, including his father, were in attendance at the arraignment.

Winslow II is the son of San Diego Chargers legend Kellen Winslow, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The younger Winslow grew up in San Diego and attended the University of Miami. He played for four NFL teams between 2004 and 2013.

Suicide prevention in North County an ongoing effort

By Kelli Kyle

ENCINITAS — Twice a month, Paul Wilson gathers with a group of eight to 20 others at the Encinitas Community Center.

They are meeting as Survivors of Suicide Loss, a support group for those who have lost loved ones to suicide.

“It’s basically a group of survivors talking about how they’re getting through life day to day, sometimes moment by moment,” Wilson said.

On June 17, 2015, Paul and Janine Wilson lost their 16-yearold daughter, Carlie, to suicide.

At Oceanside High School, Car-

lie had many friends, and was on the cheerleading and track teams.

What most people did not see was the anxiety Carlie had experienced since middle school, or the two psychiatrists and four counselors she had seen to help her cope.

“The dark side that she was going through was only shown to mom and dad and occasionally her brother,” Wilson said. “As far as everyone else knew, Carlie was a fun-spirited person to be around.”

The tragedy Wilson experienced is not uncommon — death by suicide is often shocking to those who knew the individu-

al. The recent suicide deaths of fashion designer Kate Spade and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain made many people wonder what caused those public figures to take their own lives. This nods to the larger, ongoing conversation about suicide prevention.

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control. An annual report from the County Health and Human Services Agency shows that in North County, the suicide rate is about 12.8 percent — the TURN TO SUICIDE ON 7

San Dieguito names interim schools chief

By Carey Blakely

Retired Oceanside Unified School District Superintendent Larry Perondi will temporarily take the helm of the San Dieguito Union High School District until the board can select a longer-term replacement.

Starting on July 1, Perondi will serve as interim superintendent once the current superintendent, Eric Dill, steps down. Dill announced his resignation on May 25 after accepting a business administration position with Santa Clara Unified School District.

The board will vote to approve Perondi’s contract at its next regular meeting on Thursday, June 21. The compensation offer is $1,100 a day.

In a dis- Perondi tr ict-issued press release, board President Beth Hergesheimer stated, “Bringing in an experienced and respected superintendent like Mr. Perondi to handle the demands of that office will allow our leadership team to continue their focus on the daily activities of running the school district.”

Perondi has been retired since 2014. He served as superintendent of Oceanside Unified School District for seven years and, prior to that, as the district’s deputy superintendent for two years. Perondi spent the majority of his career as a teacher and administrator for the Sweetwater Unified School District, launching into education as a middle-school art teacher in 1975.

The San Dieguito Union High School District board has hired the firm Hazard, Young, Attea, and Associates to conduct its superintendent search. The firm specializes in education consulting and school executive searches. The board and the firm will convene for a special meeting on June 22 to discuss the plan and time frame for hiring a new superintendent.

Rancho historic home tour set for July 14

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — It’s that time of year again when the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society is putting the finishing touches on its annual historic home tour in the Covenant. This year, it is partnering with the Women in Architecture Palomar Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.

On July 14, attendees of the home tour will visit six homes that are described as vintage in addition to a property designed by the renowned

Lillian Rice.

According to Sharon Alix, the executive director of the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society, those taking part in the tour will view six vintage homes and one Lillian Rice Row House, which is now a commercial property.

The other five homes have not been publicly identified but will range from Spanish haciendas, to pueblos and more. Alix thanked the homeowners who were generous enough to open their homes on this special day.

The ticket price is $50 per person. Ticket prices for Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society members are $45 each. Advanced ticket purchase

is required to take part in the tour.

The Women in Architecture worked directly with the homeowners for the July tour.

On home tour day, buses will transport attendees to their destinations. Alix said attendees are both repeat guests of this annual event from in the area and out of town.

On a personal level, Alix said she enjoys the home tours.

“I love to see how residents are preserving the older homes in such a glamorous way. They make them suit their lifestyle, but they are not damaging the older home,” Alix said.

She said add-ons are completed TURN TO HOME TOUR ON 6

49th District activists turn focus to November

By Kelli Kyle

VISTA — On June 5, approximately 158,000 voters turned out in the 49th Congressional District — covering North San Diego County and Southern Orange County — to determine which two candidates would face off in the November midterm election. The spots went to one Democrat, Mike Levin, and one Republican, Diane Harkey.

This was the moment when Terra Lawson-Remer could finally exhale.

“I think people are tired, but really inspired,” Lawson-Remer said.

For more than a year, Lawson-Remer and about 2,000 other citizens in the 49th Congressional District came together as Flip the 49th! Neighbors in Action to coordinate the removal of Republican Congressman Darrell Issa from office. While some protested outside the congressman’s

office, Lawson-Remer got together with a small group to plan a strategy to help the Democrats win the next election. Now that they have a candidate on the November ballot, Flip the 49th!

Campaign Manager Johnny Papagianis said members of the group are resting briefly, then making efforts to ensure that Democratic candidate Levin wins.

“Now it’s a one-on-one contest,” Papagianis said.”

There’s no let-up. I think that everybody I’ve worked with throughout this process, everybody gets this. I don’t anticipate there being any drop-off.”

Since Flip the 49th! did not support any one Democratic candidate, Lawson-Remer said the group is also working to reconnect with members of the party.

“We need to go through a process of rebuilding some bridges and building those relationships so that we can

focus together on the common overarching goal, which is to defend the values that make America what it is and to take back the country that we love,” Lawson-Remer said.

Since 2003, the 49th Congressional was held by Issa. Before that, two Democrats held the seat non-consecutively for one term each, with Republican Brian Bilbray taking the seat from 1995 to 2001. Diane Harkey’s campaign manager, Bryan Shroyer, said the Republicans have had their own campaign efforts operating just as long as the grassroots Flip the 49th!, and they are ready for the challenge.

“Bring it,” Shroyer said.

“When voters of this district hear what Diane has to offer versus our opponent, they’re going to side with Diane.”

Flip the 49th! is currently working to rebuild within its party, but Shroyer said he sees their past approach as

divisive.

“Diane’s message speaks to the voters in the 49th, as opposed to dividing people into different segments like our opponent.”

Additionally, Harkey’s campaign is not concerned by the higher Democratic voter turnout in June’s primary.

“The primary turnout is not indicative of what we’re going to see in November,” Shroyer said.

If Levin does not win in November, Papagianis said there would be mourning, but he is confident the citizens will find a way to organize — like getting involved with local government or speaking up about national matters.

“If there’s a bill coming up in Congress, I’m confident that people will turn up and make their voices heard after the election no matter what the outcome is,” Papagianis said.

Republican Diane Harkey and Democrat Mike Levin were the top two vote-getters in the June 5 primary and will face off in November to replace GOP Rep. Darrell Issa in Congress.

Neither Papagianis nor Lawson-Remer could think of an organization doing similar work — something that troubled Lawson-Remer.

Still, the group received national attention for its efforts when it saw more Democratic voters than Republican voters in the primary.

Lawson-Remer described these results as providing even more energy for the campaign and its volunteers.

“I think people should be proud,” Lawson-Remer said. “This is one of those rare things where you really can say this belongs to everyone.”

The next five months will tell which candidate makes it into the House of Representatives — and whether Flip the 49th!

Neighbors in Action will meet the second part of their goal on Nov. 6.

ENCINITAS — Encinitas got a new feather in its environmental cap through a national award given in Boston on June 8.

At the 86th annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Encinitas received an honorable mention in the “small city” category of the 2018 Mayors’ Climate Protection Awards.

It was one of five small cities to earn that designation, while Schenectady in New York took the top prize in the category.

The awards program, co-sponsored by Walmart, recognizes mayors for their efforts in protecting the climate and promoting sustainable energy use. An independent panel of judges made their selections from a pool of applicants.

Mayor Catherine Blakespear attended the conference in Boston and found the experience of “being surrounded by other mayors” both “inspiring” and “a tremendous opportunity for Encinitas.”

She said, “Mayors

serve and shape their cities. Hearing directly from them provides insights into ways we can be a better city.”

The award initiative recognized Encinitas for adopting “a gold-standard Climate Action Plan (CAP)” and for appointing an administrator to oversee its implementation. The city’s ambitious goal is, by 2030, to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by 41 percent below 2012 levels.

The other small city honorable mentions went to Richard C. David, mayor of Binghamton, New York; James Morgan, mayor of Derry, New Hampshire; Jeff Duclos, mayor of Hermosa Beach, California; and Liz Alpert, mayor of Sarasota, Florida. The winner for a large city was awarded to Steve Adler, the mayor of Austin, Texas.

Blakespear said, “Recognition sparks action, which is why this award is important.” She identified environmental protection as “among the highest priorities for the city.”

from mornings on KFMBFM 100.7 hosted the evening’s events.

Following cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the silent auction area, party-goers were treated to some of the finest cuisine in San Diego.

When the “live” auctions began, Gala attendees demonstrated their sincere belief in the cause.

Showing faith in the Center’s work, it was the Fund-an-Item Programs that received the highest bids of the evening. Chain restaurant operator and partner at Paradigm Investment Group LLC, Dan Shea, along with Lucky Duck Foundation, supported the Pets Without Walls Program with a $100,000 donation ($121,250 total program donations

raised for the evening).

The Center’s Adoptions Emergency Medical Care Program Fund-a-Need also received an impressive collective total of $75,250.

“This event touches me every year,” said Helen Woodward Animal Center President and CEO Mike Arms. “Every contributor, from the guests to the restaurants to the sponsors and donors, come together for the purpose of changing the world for orphan pets.

It’s a truly wonderful night.”

It’s time to speak up against the demonization of immigrants

By Joshua Lazerson

Legislature must amend list of non-violent crimes

T

here isn’t a woman alive who was ever raped while either intoxicated or unconscious who doesn’t consider the entire experience violent.

But that’s not how these crimes are defined legally in California. The same for human trafficking of a child, abducting a minor for prostitution, drive-by shootings at inhabited homes or cars, felony domestic violence, solicitation to commit murder, among others.

The failure to designate these heinous offenses as violent is an aberration that can be fixed by the state Legislature, one that should have been accomplished last year, after passage of the 2016 Proposition 57 began allowing early paroles of non-violent criminals in exchange for certain achievements and good behavior in custody.

No sociologist or psychologist has ever claimed that earning a college degree (one achievement that can help create eligibility for early prison releases) reduces the likelihood a parolee will repeat his or her prior crime.

Official state statistics now do not link Proposition 57’s early paroles with crime increases. But the Association of Los Angeles Deputy District Attorneys early this year claimed violent crime in some cities was up by 50 percent since 2013, about the time Gov. Jerry Brown’s prison realignment program took hold. Under that plan, designed to comply with federal court orders to ease crowded conditions inside state prisons, many inmates have been shifted

california focus thomas d. elias to county jails, while lesser offenders sometimes serve little or no jail time.

Combining that with the early releases of Proposition 57 is a sure-fire ticket to increased crime, says the prosecutors’ group.

One way to decrease the exodus of felons from prison would be to change some definitions, something a few lawmakers tried to accomplish last year.

But a series of bills aiming to expand the list of crimes defined as violent died in legislative financial committees. Too expensive, was the verdict. That was the reason given when the Assembly Appropriations Committee just about one year ago killed a bipartisan measure aiming to classify all rapes and all human trafficking as violent.

Keeping in custody the approximately 120 prisoners who could then have been affected by that proposed change would have cost $1 million a year. If just one of the men involved were prevented from repeating such a crime, those dollars would likely have been among the best-spent in the state budget.

No one has tracked how defeat of the measure actually affected crime in the streets. But Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims told one reporter the new parole laws combine with realignment to erode public faith

in the justice system.

She cited reports of arrestees saying immediately after their capture that Proposition 57 and the 2014 Proposition 47 (which lowered many felonies to the misdemeanor level) would cut their prison time by half or more. Soon after, Whittier Police Chief Jeff Piper blamed lenient new laws for the early 2017 slaying of Officer Keith Boyer, shot by a recently paroled felon involved in a car accident.

“We need to wake up,” said Piper, whose claim was never proved. “Enough is enough. This is a senseless, senseless tragedy that did not need to be.”

Meanwhile, in the final proposed state budget of his long career, Brown wants to spend $50 million more in the next year (on top of more than $100 million spent last year) on programs to help former inmates stay out of jail. Currently, 46 percent of state inmates released in the latest year for which data is available were convicted of new crimes less than three years after release.

Official numbers are not yet in on the effects of Proposition 57 on violent crime, but there is no doubt property crimes in big cities rose sharply in the two years after Proposition 47 passed.

Efforts are underway again in the Legislature to change at least some crime designations to violent. This time, they must succeed, or it’s a good bet that lives will be lost as public safety is diminished.

We moved to Solana Beach from Maryland in 1969, and my brother and I started 4th grade at Skyline Elementary School when the current four-lane Lomas Santa Fe Drive was the twolane Skyline Drive.

The bilingual Latino kids that I met for the first time became my friends and Little League teammates. It never occurred to me to wonder whether they were citizens or not.

They were neighbors and friends.

Some of those kids’ families had been here for generations as pillars of the community. Others had been here for a shorter period of time and struggled financially. The truest thing I can say is that they were people like all people — most of them were working hard, living their lives, trying to position their children for a successful future.

I left this area for 15 years, returning to live in Encinitas in 1992. Since that time, I have had, and have today, many colleagues and friends who are Latino.

As has been true with all immigrant communities in America, many of my friends and colleagues who now have college degrees, supervisory positions, and

are doing great things, are the children of parents who worked or work still as domestic workers and gardeners and in other service positions.

Today, we live in the context of a Presidential administration that demonizes people who seek to cross our border. These are people who were moved by common human sentiments: fear, need, hope, a will to achieve and a belief that there is a better life.

I believe that people can have legitimate disagreements about questions of immigration.

There is, however, a tremendous degree of hypocrisy when we demonize those crossing the border given the tremendous benefits they bring to our country generally, to our North County region specifically, and given the fact that most of us are children of people who chose to make the same journey and create new lives here.

President Trump chose to characterize many of these seekers as criminals. I would suggest that the criminality lies with a President who separates parents from children and denies his direct culpability, while the majority of his political allies stand in the deep shadows of their own

silences.

It seems to me that if you take the position that immigration is a clear and present danger, you deny the very basis of American genesis.

At every turn of the wheel, immigrant populations have been despised and hated before gaining acceptance as essential threads in the American fabric.

If we truly love this country, based not on historical fantasy but on an understanding of its complicated and frequently ugly history; and our ability as citizens to draw upon the best and most humane aspects of ourselves, then this is a moment to stand up and say, “Enough.”

The failure to do so makes us complicit in policies and pronouncements that reflect the worst in us, damaging the fabric of this country.

This is the time to speak up against “false news” and other untruths, wherever they originate, in favor of our own integrity, and the humanity of those whose only “crime” is seeking a better life in this favored, if imperfect, land that we all share.

Understand your Medicare protections

By Greg Dill

As a person with Medicare, do you have any rights and protections?

You certainly do!

You have rights whether you’re enrolled in Original Medicare — in which you can choose any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare — or Medicare Advantage, in which you get care within a network of health care providers.

Your rights guarantee that you get the health services the law says you can get, protect you against unethical practices, and ensure the privacy of your

personal and medical information. You have the right to be treated with dignity and respect at all times, and to be protected from discrimination.

You also have the right to get information in a way you understand from Medicare, your health care providers, and, under certain circumstances, Medicare contractors. This includes information about what Medicare covers, what it pays, how much you have to pay, and how to file a complaint or appeal.

One very important right is to get Medi-

care-covered emergency care when and where you need it — anywhere in the United States.

If you’re admitted to the hospital, you’ll have to pay your regular share of the cost, or a copayment, for emergency care. Then your plan will pay its share.

REGION — An initiative to split California into three states has qualified for the November ballot.

What initiative author Tim Draper has dubbed “CAL 3” surpassed the 402,468 projected valid signatures needed to qualify by random sampling, Secretary of State Alex Padilla announced June 12. Splitting California would require congressional approval.

One proposed state would be called California or a name to be chosen by its residents after a split. It would consist of Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey and San Benito counties.

A second state, Southern California or a name to be chosen by its residents, would consist of Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Imperial, Kern, Kings, Fresno, Tulare, Inyo, Madera and Mono counties. The remaining 40 counties would be part of the state of Northern California or a name chosen by its residents.

“CAL 3” has no connection to efforts to have California secede from the United States.

CRC fights hunger, homelessness and domestic violence in North County San Diego by providing shelter, food and nutrition services, case management, counseling and more.

RANCHO SANTA FE — In the heart of historic San Juan Capistrano, bulldogs, their owners and dog lovers joined together to support the Southern California Bulldog Rescue on June 2 at Sundried Tomato. For its sixth consecutive year, “Bullies Uncorked” was hosted by Rancho Santa Fe resident and philanthropist Holli Lienau.

Nearly 100 guests were in attendance and more than $11,000 raised.

An avid animal lover, Lienau also has a soft spot for English bulldogs. She already had three dogs of this breed. Her 3-yearold bulldog, Miss Matty, was a rescue from Southern California Bulldog Rescue.

Lienau said the nonprofit partners with another organization named poundWISHES, which assists shelters and rescues with helping find dogs their forever homes.

“Miss Matty was dumped at a shelter in Riverside County. She had a severe case of demodectic mange at 3 months old — it was medically treatable,” Lienau said. “After Miss Matty was nursed back to health with medication and special baths, SCBDR uploaded her information on poundWISHES, and I fell in love with her just like that.”

Lienau describes bulldogs as unique.

Yes, they can be strong-headed and pushy, but they are also sweet and very affectionate, she said.

The co-founder and director of the organization, Skip Van Der Marliere, was on hand enjoying the day. Established in 1997, Southern California Bulldog Rescue saves between 400 to 450 bulldogs per year.

“This includes owner surrenders, shelter rescues and surrender from vet offices,” he said. “There are also other dogs we count as rescue assisted — dogs we help keep in homes with donations of medical care, bags of food and reunite with original owners.”

While Southern California Bulldog Rescue is in Orange County, Van Der Marliere said it branches out to San Diego, to the borders of Arizona and Nevada, and stretches up toward Visalia and Fresno.

Van Der Marliere said “Bullies Uncorked,” is a popular wine event with appetizers and fabulous food. The organization relies on fundraisers since it does not have a steady revenue of income.

“Bullies Uncorked is one of our star events,” he said.

Like Lienau, Van Der Marliere said he also gravitated to bulldogs.

“They’re a companion breed, so I think they fill a lot of what I need in a dog. There’s a right dog for a family, and I needed a breed that was going to be a companion for me, surround me and enjoy the attention I want to give,” he said, noting how he had five bulldogs. “I enjoy that in the breed, and this is what the breed gives — it fits my lifestyle, and they fit into my family, and that’s what I value most.”

Bueno Bueno Mexican Kitchen provided food for the afternoon soiree.

In addition to wine tasting, sangria, hors d'oeuvres and adopted bulldogs with their pet parents, silent auction and live auction items were sought after. Three live auction experiences were gifted from Lienau, founder of the organization, “Holli” day … Any day! Lienau is hosting all three events.

The first live auction item was a Baja California Wine Tasting and Food Pairing Party at San Juan Capistrano’s Bueno Bueno Mexican Kitchen.

“This is a private wine tasting which

will feature premium wines from Baja’s premier wine growing region, Valle de Guadalupe. Local Baja ambassador, Fernando Gaxiola, will lead us through a selection of fabulous wines and Bueno Bueno will provide their deliciously paired appetizers,” Lienau said.

The other two live auctions, which went for more than $2,000 apiece, take place at Lienau’s vineyard in Rancho Santa Fe. Guests will be picking Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc and Petit Syrah grapes.

“From the two auctions, four lucky people will join us at our Annual Grape Harvest and Harvest Pizza Party. They will spend a morning with us harvesting the grapes in our vineyard,” said Lienau, adding how the highest bidders will also have an overnight stay at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. “Then these lucky people will relax during a pizza party at our beautiful outdoor kitchen complete with a pizza oven.”

Lienau said everyone loves to come to her vineyard and pick grapes. In fact, they ask her to come, she said.

“I'm like, OK, ‘You can pay to come and sweat in my yard and harvest grapes,’” Lienau quipped, adding how most times it’s a warm morning, but great fun and an afternoon of wine and pizza as a reward.

While the auction winners are having a good time this harvesting season in September, Lienau will remind them of the fact that their generosity helped bulldogs in need.

about taking part in the home tour, but have yet to make a reservation, Alix said to consider doing it sooner rather than later.

Tickets are limited because these are private residences and homeowners only want a certain number of guests in their home for the tour.

Alix anticipates that the tour will take at least

While the homes are five to eight minutes away from one another, the larger homes in the 8,000 square footage range will take more time to tour.

ENCINITAS — Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear announced this weekend that she is seeking re-election to another two-year term in November.

Blakespear, who voters elected in 2016, made the announcement in a newsletter to supporters.

“I’m excited to announce that I’m running for re-election as your Mayor in Encinitas this fall, and I wanted you to be among the first to know!”

Blakespear wrote.

Encinitas’ mayor became an elected position with a two-year term after voters passed Propositions K and L in 2012, which created the elected post and set the term of service.

Blakespear became the city’s second directly elected mayor in 2016, succeeding Kristin Gaspar, who was elected to the County Board of Supervisors.

She defeated Gaspar’s husband, Paul Gaspar, in the 2016 election by nearly a 2-to-1 margin.

Blakespear, 42, in her newsletter touted the city’s environmental commitments — including the city’s landmark climate action plan update — the work on the most recent housing element proposal, road and rail corridor projects and commitments, and active engagement of the citizenry through various forms of communication as her successes during her first term.

“And it all happens against the backdrop of consistent financial discipline, plus the highest commitment to maintaining public safety,” Blakespear wrote. “We’ve been very successful so far! These priorities need an ongoing champion and I would be honored to have your support to continue the good work we’re doing.”

Blakespear has dealt with her share of controversies during her mayoral term. Some residents criticized her for her support of dividing the city into council districts in response to a legal threat filed by a Malibu-based attorney who claimed the city’s atlarge election system was biased against Hispanics.

Candidates for Encinitas office, including Blakespear, can’t officially file election paperwork until the filing period, which runs from July 16 and Aug. 17. a.m., giving ticketholders an early to start to enjoy the day in the Covenant, such as lunch at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. Following lunch, the tour buses will be ready to motor on.

Encinitas to keep portable restrooms for homeless

By Aaron Burgin

ENCINITAS — The city will continue to provide portable restrooms at five locations citywide even after the county declared an end to the hepatitis A outbreak.

The City Council voted 4-1 to keep the portable toilets and hand-washing stations in place at a cost of $20,900 for the 2018-19 fiscal year.

Despite the end of the hepatitis A outbreak, city officials said the underlying cause of the outbreak — the city’s homeless population — is still present.

“The fact that the hep A outbreak happened is a symptom of people living on the streets, and that hasn’t changed,” Mayor Catherine Blakespear said. “I think it’s important that we have them.”

The council approved the expenditure as part of its discussions of the upcoming

third highest in the county.

This figure is slightly below the national average, but higher than California’s state rate.

Still, San Diego County is one of the few counties in the state with a strategic plan for prevention, approaching suicide as a public health issue with many facets.

“It’s about helping people build skills and resiliencies so that when life inevitably throws whatever stressors at us, that we’re prepared and ready to deal with them,” Stan Collins, media representative for the county Suicide Prevention Council, explained.

In nearly all cases, suicide deaths occur when risk factors stack up, leading to strained mental health.

This is not the same as having a mental illness — the CDC released a report finding that more than half of people who died by suicide in the U.S. did not have a known mental health condition. Collins said many times, these deaths stem from deeper emotional pain.

“I’d say nine times out of 10, suicides happen when pain outweighs hope,” Collins said. “The root source of that pain could be a variety of different reasons, but the pain is typically what’s universal.”

San Diego County’s Suicide Prevention Council works to raise awareness on suicide prevention. It provides resources on suicide prevention, including a 24/7 Access and Crisis line, a mental health newsletter and QPR trainings. QPR stands for “question, persuade and refer,” describing the process people can go through if they suspect a colleague is considering suicide. The council’s co-chair, Carol Skiljan, facilitates these trainings.

“This is the entry level suicide prevention training for adults,” Skiljan said.

fiscal year budget. Without the vote, the portable restroom program would have sunset on June 30.

Mark Muir voted against the proposal. He said that he wanted the council to return with a more comprehensive program that included more aesthetically appealing portable toilets.

“I am more concerned about the plan’s costs and where is it going to be,” Muir said. “I would like to see a plan come back to address this in a different way.”

Councilman Tony Kranz said that he shared some of Muir’s concerns about the aesthetics, but said the concerns about combating the issues that led to the health crisis outweighed his concerns about the restrooms’ appearance.

Encinitas, in the wake of the county declaring a public health emergency on Sept. 1, 2017, installed

the portable toilets and hand-washing stations in October 2017 at five locations: Swami’s Beach, Moonlight Beach, Encinitas Community and Senior Center, the City Hall lower parking lot and Leucadia Roadside Park.

Officials, however, relocated the fifth portable restroom across the street a month later, after residents complained that the restroom had created a homeless hangout and increases in smoking, drinking and littering in the small pocket park in the heart of Leucadia.

Since relocating it, city officials said the complaints have been kept to a minimum.

The hepatitis A outbreak killed 18 people and sickened nearly 500 others before the county ended the public health emergency in January 2018.

“We’d like to have everybody take this training.”

Skiljan is also the executive director for Yellow Ribbon, an organization that advocates for suicide prevention among youth.

Her goal with Yellow Ribbon and the Suicide Prevention Council is to let the public know that suicide is preventable.

“Our vision is zero suicides in San Diego County,” Skiljan said. “Our mission is to do all the work that we need to do to get to that.”

Suicide prevention hasn’t always been a popular subject. Years before assuming his current role, Collins volunteered with Yellow Ribbon in the 1990s.

His close friend had recently died by suicide, and Collins became aware that the conversation on suicide prevention was virtually nonexistent.

“All the lessons I learned growing up about sex, drugs and rock n’ roll, and don’t do this you might die, don’t let your friends do this they might die,” Collins explained. “No one ever talked to me about suicide — and that’s the way my friend ended up dying.”

Since then, Collins devoted himself to furthering the conversation around suicide prevention. He said he has noticed an evolution of sorts.

“When I used to tell people what I did 15, 20 years ago, it would be awkward silence,” Collins said.

“I feel like we’ve done a lot of work in our society to make people more comfortable with those conversations.”

Even now, this work continues in San Diego County.

At the time of his daughter’s death just three years ago, Wilson said Oceanside High School did not have any suicide prevention education in place. Since then, the state of California passed legislation that makes suicide prevention a mandatory part of the curriculum.

“San Marcos High

School has a great program, and other schools in San Diego County have programs that other schools don’t,” Wilson said. “I think they do need to mandate something for all schools, absolutely.”

Wilson wants to see even more visibility for suicide prevention and mental health in the future.

“It’s definitely coming,” Wilson said. “It doesn’t happen overnight, let’s face it.

But I think we are seeing it start to turn.”

The conversation about suicide and suicide prevention is ongoing. If you or someone you know is considering suicide, call the 24/7 San Diego Access & Crisis Hotline at 888-724-7240.

with a wide range of developmental and learning disabilities and supporting their families. TERI serves more than 800 clients in Southern California with more than 19 programs based at its main campus in Oceanside, California, along with 12 residential homes throughout San Diego County,” she said, adding that the nonprofit has been recognized both nationally and internationally.

Klein explained that the June 2 event was not a direct fundraiser, but instead, a cultivation event to introduce potential donors to TERI. It offered guests a springboard into TERI’s vision for its capital campaign, the Campus of Life.

“The TERI Campus of Life is designed to be an

innovative, university-like environment that will build upon TERI’s successful model programs and services that empower individuals with developmental disabilities and serve as an inclusive center for the local community,” Klein said.

She also added that the public would have access to its various entities such as its performing arts and music center, the aquatic center, the health and wellness fitness center.

“TERI is currently fundraising to meet a $500,000 challenge grant from the Walter J. and Betty C. Zable Foundation for a projected $1.5 million total gift from the foundation for the final phase of campus construction, beginning late this summer,” Klein said.

Co-hosting the June 2 event was Shari Sapp, a Rancho Santa Fe resident,

who is also on the TERI board of trustees.

“It was a beautiful day — full of joy and laughter and celebration, Sapp said. “people who attended cheered the riders and enjoyed listening to the TERI band while they socialized and shopped for TERI produce and art. TERI provides a critical service to people with special needs and their families by providing care, education, activities and opportunities.”

Sapp added that she supports the TERI Campus of Life because it has the potential to be a wonderful resource in the community where individuals of all abilities can come together to learn from one another and enjoy each other's talents.

Coastal Commission rejects Del Mar’s STR ordinance

By Bianca Kaplanek

DEL MAR — The California Coastal Commission rejected Del Mar’s proposal to limit short-term rentals to minimum seven-day stays for a maximum of 28 days per year in nearly all residential zones.

The panel instead approved at the June 7 meeting a plan that will allow rentals of less than 30 days for a minimum of three consecutive days for no more than 100 days annually.

Del Mar council members adopted the ordinance governing vacation rentals late last year but because it is an amendment to the land-use plan (LUP) local coastal program it could not

take effect without approval from the Coastal Commission.

In making the unanimous decision, the commissioners relied on the California Coastal Act goal to provide affordable access to the coast and Del Mar’s certified LUP, as well as about 90 minutes of public testimony, during which 14 of the 21 speakers stated opposition to the city’s ordinance.

Commissioners also received more than 150 emails — mostly from STR advocates — that included one petition with about 500 signatures supporting vacations rentals and another with 100 signatures support-

ing the city ordinance.

Some speakers showed videos of past vacation renters from outside the state urging the commission to reject Del Mar’s proposal.

People on both sides of the issue presented conflicting data on whether shortterm rental rates are, in fact, more affordable than room rates at the city’s six hotels.

Chairwoman Danya Bochco said testimony by the owners and what they charge weighed heavily in her decision. Donne Brownsey did a quick internet search during the meeting and said she found the booking websites showed proof STR rates are signifi-

M arketplace News

cantly lower than what the hotels charge.

Also impacting the decision was resident Greg Rothnem’s research that indicates most complaints to the city and Sheriff’s Department come from people other than short-term renters.

Amanda Lee, Del Mar’s senior planner, said the ordinance is consistent with the city’s LUP and would help preserve Del Mar’s housing stock by providing a disincentive to convert homes to short-term rental units.

Deborah Lee, the commission’s district manager, said while there is concern about affordable housing, that is a separate issue.

“The units in Del Mar are not going to be providing affordable housing,” she said. “These units do not need to be protected as affordable housing options because they’re not going to meet that.”

Commissioner Steve Padilla said he was “deeply concerned and troubled” with correspondence from Del Mar Mayor Dwight Worden that short-term rentals in Del Mar “just aren’t affordable and never will be.”

“That ignores your own LUP language … that says you want to provide” access to “people of means and people of lesser means,” Padilla said. “I’m not aware there’s

an exemption to the statute for wealthier communities.”

Brownsey said affordability and accessibility for all Californians are the core of the Coastal Act. She said she was concerned that “a major pipeline for many of California’s residents to enjoy the essential beauty of California’s coast is going to be restricted in a way that’s absolutely going to affect low-income folks.”

“Many families cannot afford seven days,” she added.

Coastal Commission staff recommended a threeday minimum stay for a maximum of 180 days a year.

Ranch dentist practices dentistry done differently RANCHO SANTA FE — The decision to open a dental practice was the easy part.

What proved more challenging to Jennifer and Brennon Dean was the task of creating something that not only lived up to their ideals, but also to the high quality worthy of a community like Rancho Santa Fe. Jennifer Dean, or Dr. Jen as her patients call her, said the last year since Rancho Santa Fe Cosmetic and Family Dentistry has opened its doors has been a dream come true. “I love my patients,” she said. “Everyone has been welcoming and excited to have a dentist in the area.

They appreciate my style of dentistry. Rancho Santa Fe residents have an expectation for quality care, and it’s nice to have that recognized and appreciated.”

Dr. Jen has been practicing for about a decade, but she wanted to set out on her own. “She wanted to practice in a specific way,” Brennon Dean, her husband and the

practice’s office manager, said. “She is heavily focused on exceptional quality. She spends an extraordinary amount of time with each of her patients.”

Dr. Jen is on a first-name basis with all of her patients, which isn’t that unusual considering the relationships she establishes with each of them. “It’s very important that my patients have a direct line of communication to me,” she said. “I am available by email, text and even my personal cell phone and I follow up with my patients after a visit, even just a cleaning, to check in and address any questions or concerns they might have.”

Rancho Santa Fe Cosmetic and Family Dentistry sees patients of all ages, offering general dentistry as well as a full range of cosmetic services. “We do it all,” Brennon Dean said. “From Invisalign to veneers and even fullmouth reconstruction and the highest quality teeth whitening. We want our patients to

Jennifer Dean, or Dr. Jen as her patients call her, said the last year since Rancho Santa Fe Cosmetic and Family Dentistry has opened has been a dream come true. Courtesy photo

be proud of their smiles.”

Being a family practice, it’s important to the Deans that their patients feel completely comfortable when they are there. “We’ve cre-

ated an atmosphere that is inviting and welcoming,” Brennon Dean said. “Amenities are very important to us.

Each of our rooms has a 40inch HD TV, massage chairs,

a charging station and more.

We offer hot towels, we have refreshments and snacks. It’s a blend of modern yet relaxing.”

For patients who might have issues with transportation to Rancho Santa Fe Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, Dr. Jen says not to worry. “We are happy to arrange transportation to patients who don’t drive or don’t have access to it,” she said. “For some people just getting to the dentist is half the battle, so we alleviate that burden in order to provide them with the quality care they deserve.”

To that end, Rancho Santa Fe Cosmetic and Family Dentistry offers a membership program. “When it comes to dental services and treatment, it was important to me that people feel that quality care is available and accessible even without insurance,” Brennon Dean said. “For just $379, they can get two cleanings a year, exams, X-rays and fluoride treatment. This also includes emergency exams

and X-rays. And beyond that, members receive 20 percent off any additional work they have done.”

The membership program is something Dr. Jen felt strongly about creating. “Over half of our patients are members, and it’s something that works really well for everyone,” she said.

“It saves my patients money instead of paying out-of-pocket for traditional dental insurance, and I don’t have to worry about a company trying to dictate the treatment or the quality.”

Rancho Santa Fe Cosmetic and Family Dentistry is located at 5531 Cancha De Golf Suite 102. They are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information about Dr. Jen, the practice and the membership program, call (858) 367-3058, email ContactUs@RSFDentist.com, or visit www.rsfdentist.com.

Paleontologist’s paradise in New Mexico hit the road e’louise ondash

P

aleontologist Sherrie Landon stoops to scoop up a fossil — a small, grayish rock, somewhat smooth on one side, dimpled with identical tiny craters on the other.

“Alligator skin,” she pronounces with certainty — a stunning statement considering we are standing in the Bisti/De-Za-Nin Wilderness in northwest New Mexico, an arid landscape dotted with alien-looking land forms. The nearest civilization is Farmington, New Mexico, about 40 minutes north and ideally located for exploring all that the Four Corners area has to offer.

We had never heard of “the Bisti” until a few weeks ago when planning a trip to the Farmington area.

Bisti’s 45,000 acres of other-worldly protected wilderness is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and patrolled largely by ranger Stan Allison, who ar-

rived here a year ago after a 13-year stint at Carlsbad Caverns National Park.

Today Landon and Allison are giving us a crash course in all things Bisti, and I’m mentally debating whether to tell the world about this amazing place or keep it to myself. Apparently, I’m too late for the latter.

“Visitation is definitely increasing and I think much of it is due to folks seeing beautiful pictures on the internet,” Allison says.

“We have only had a traffic counter on the trailhead parking lot for the last two years, so we don't have hard data, but folks who have been observing visitation over the years have noticed a definite uptick.”

So the secret is out, and as we hike the valley floor, I understand why the news has spread. The colorful layered mounds and crazy formations change with every turn. But where we see arid panoramas, Landon sees former river delta, tropical forest, dinosaurs and cataclysmic wind and wave action that created this 360-degree bizarre panorama.

We get that the multi-colored layers of earth — lignite, mud, vol-

The Bisti Wilderness, about 40 miles south of Farmington, New Mexico, offers 45,000 acres of badlands, some of it eerily unearthly. Sixty-five million years ago, this was a tropical river delta, home to dinosaurs that are unique to this area. Paleontologists say there still are many fossils to be discovered here. Photo by E’Louise Ondash

canic ash, sandstone, shale and coal — were deposited over time. It’s something else, though, to imagine tropical forests and large creatures roaming this onetime Shangri-La 80 to 65 million years ago, which is to say that Bisti a paleontologist’s paradise.

“We are constantly uncovering different species and a lot of them are unique to this area,” Landon says.

“The (Museum of Natural History and Science) in Albuquerque gets 95 percent

of the fossils that come from here. They love me.”

One top find three years ago was the skull of a rare pentaceratops — like a triceratops but with five horns. A cast of its head and dinosaur footprints can be seen at the Farmington Museum.

Because “the fossils belong to the people” and there are plenty more to be found, Landon supervises the tedious process of removing these fossils and assures that “the land is left exactly as they found it.”

This can involve National Guard helicopters, flatbed trucks, and an excavation process that places the different colored dirt in separate piles to assure that the layers are replaced exactly as they were.

The Bisti is one of the

driest places on earth, so we drink liberally from our water bottles as we traverse the freakish terrain. When lunchtime arrives, we sit in a small strip of shade created by a petrified tree trunk.

“I think that people are attracted to the (Bisti) because a badlands environment is so unusual and different than hiking in the mountains or in a canyon,” Allison says. “The badlands offer an uncommon experience to travel somewhere with very little vegetation, no trails and interesting landforms both in terms of shape and color.”

It’s easy to understand how visitors can get into trouble if they aren’t prepared with sturdy shoes, hats, sunscreen, abundant water and a compass or GPS. They also should sign

in and out at the parking lot register. There are no trails, signage or amenities. It is, after all, a wilderness.

So how do you check on visitors in this vast, unmarked place?

“I pretty much know where the people are,” Allison explains, probably because most don’t wander too far from the parking lot, and the only way to see the Bisti is on foot. No vehicles allowed, either, not even bicycles — although it sure would be a thrill to careen up and down this other-worldly topography.

REGION — An immigrant who once bundled ink-fresh newspapers at a newspaper printing press took control of the San Diego Union-Tribune on June 17, and promised in a letter to readers to fight fake news as if it were cancer.

Dr. Patrick SoonShiong, a biotech billionaire who has dedicated most of his fortune to fighting cancer, this week finalized his $500 million- plus purchase of the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, and some community newspapers.

His purchase of the Union-Tribune returned it to the control of a Californian nine years after an investment group bought it from the Copley family of San Diego.

And it marked the end of 16 years of often-chaotic control of the L.A. Times, a 135-year-old institution, by the Tribune Company of Chicago.

From those who had long careers in other professions to those returning to passion from youth — the creative expressions in their work are as unique and varied as the stories that brought them to it.

Come be inspired by the power of art to transform not only the viewer, but the artists themselves.

The exhibit includes 47 juried in local artists including: Patrick Murphy “My Second Act came in the form of a Parkinson's disease diagnosis four years ago. Little did I know that it was actually a permission slip for me to become the artist I had only imagined.

It launched my journey into developing my own unique style of award-winning Dimensional Fine Art.” Linda Anderson “After a MFA degree

“Yuja,” an art quilt by Linda Anderson

from Otis Art Institute in 1974, I taught art for a few years. Then I kept morphing into other arenas that also interested me: a trainer for decorators on how to use art and accessories in home designs; return to school for a MA in counseling and work as a Marriage and Family therapist; a short stint as an executive recruiter; substitute teaching while being a stay at home mom; sailing away with my family for 3 years and ending up in Trinidad and Tobago and becoming the school guidance counselor and holding parent training programs all over the island country.

But behind it all, I always knew I would one day return to my roots as an artist.

It happened in 2009 when

we returned to the US and I saw my first art quilt. I immediately went home and taught myself how to create doing the 2 things I have loved consistently: sewing and drawing and painting.

Capturing ordinary and extraordinary moments with people around the world, moments that reinforce our sense of shared identity..... this is what drives me each and every day in my studio.”

Cross humbled by Women of Dedication Luncheon honor

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — The theme of the 53rd Annual Women of Dedication Luncheon hosted by the Salvation Army was Wonder Women — an apropos designation to the 12 women who devote their time, talent and compassion to help others.

One of those women was Del Mar resident Deborah Cross, who is also board president of the Rancho Santa Fe based nonprofit The Country Friends.

The May 30 event was held at the San Diego Marriott Marquis attracting hundreds of guests.

Joining Cross were other honorees including Suzi Day, Laurnie Durisoe, An-

gela Harris, Dayna Hoff, Kimberly Hunt, Regina Kurtz, Radine Sally Watt Oxley, Rana Sampson, Claudia Thompson, Vickie Turner and Kathryn Vaughn.

“It was such an incredible day for me to be honored as a Wonder Woman,” Cross said. “It was a very humbling experience to be included in such an amazing group of women. Everyone was so kind and complimentary of our abilities and contributions to San Diego charities. The Salvation Army outdid themselves with the event this year with over 700 people in attendance. All of our friends and family so enjoyed every moment of the experience.”

Cross’ three children

flew out for the event from Nevada, Florida and New Hampshire. Also, Cross’ husband Les, had his brother and sister-in-law journeyed from Australia.

About 50 people were there supporting Cross, in addition to a large group of members from The Country Friends.

Following the luncheon, each honorary was honored with an original personalized parody written by Bryan Verhoye to a well-known song. Vocals were by MacKenzie Carmill and The San Diego Master Chorale.

“The entire day was so exciting, but without a doubt being called up on stage and listening to a spe-

cial song written just for me was so moving,” she said.

“I was so glad to have Les walk down the runway with me — I was feeling a bit overwhelmed.”

Honorary Chairs for the 2018 event were Susan and Bill Hoehn.

Emceeing the event and serving as auctioneer was Clint Bell.

During the luncheon, guests were reminded how the event was one of the leading fundraisers for the Salvation Army. Live auctions included a San Diego Padres special package, a New York experience, Cabo San Lucas getaway and a Big Bear adventure.

Bell also championed a paddle raise for specific

contributions to fund Salvation Army programs to help the homeless and those susceptible to human trafficking. There was a price point for everyone ranging from $100 to help provide to new shoes to children going back to school, to $25,000, which would give a dozen homeless women and men one year of housing.

Contributions for the day went to support an array of programs such as the Salvation Army’s adult rehabilitation center; Coordinated Assistance to Residential Stability; Christmas Programs Assistance; Door of Hope; Family Services based in Center City, El Cajon, Kroc Center, Oceanside and San Diego Citadel; Homeless Outreach; Pine Summit Camp and Conference Center; Senior Nutrition Sites; and Shelter Transition Employment Program Services.

“The Salvation Army is an incredible organization,” Cross said. “I learned so much about the organization and the good works they do here in San Diego and around the world. After this experience, I will definitely stay involved and would encourage others to

have such fond memories of summer. It meant long, lazy days to read fat books, enjoy carefree beach time and homemade ice cream.

I actually remember the simple times of living in my bathing suit, day and night. For the girls, that lasted until you were about 12, if you were lucky. Then suddenly you realized there was a great deal of pale, not terribly toned or hairless flesh being revealed. And it changed everything.

Getting ready to put on even a one-piece suit has always required way, way too much preparation. Remember, this was before science came up with acceptable long-term methods of body hair removal and effective indoor tanning options.

There was no such thing as a last-minute trip to the pool.

I had to shave, uphill in the snow, both ways.

Generally, that left various areas from stem to stern inflamed, stinging and generally as unattractive as before I started. If there was waxing to be had, it had not made itself known to the women in rural El Cajon. It was the blade or nothing.

And then there was the annual misery of buying a new bathing suit at the store. Yes, I can hear that universal groan from women around the globe, of every make and model. Few

men will ever be faced with what looks like an arctic avalanche stuffed into unforgiving spandex — under dressing room lights — in a three-way mirror. It will take your breath away, and not in a good way.

I’d love to think that things have become easier for young women today.

When I look around the beach, I’d swear today’s young girls all have longer legs and tinier waists. But in my heart, I know every woman thinks she looks dreadful.

As long as there are celebrities out there with abs off of which you could bounce a quarter, the rest of us slackers will be sucking in our stomachs. Yes, of course, I could dedicate every spare daylight hour to working out, but we both know that’s never going to happen. This doesn’t mean I am happy to be marching around with a muffin-top. It means that I firmly believe 80 hours a month of workout time for maybe six hours of stomach exposure is not a reasonable effort-to-results ratio.

I have been tempted to tattoo, across my middle avoirdupois, “Two children and proud of it!” As that would just draw further attention to my bulges, I have resisted. Instead, a grateful nation sends out a special, extra-loud shout-out to the designer of the tankini and the swim skirt. I’ll take one in knee-length, thanks.

On the road again with Taste of Wine’s roadies taste of wine frank mangio

T

aste of Wine’s travel writers, Nancine and Scott Hagner, are indeed a happy dedicated couple with a lot of time for wine and the open road.

When they launch into their plans for their next wine country journey, I want to break out the Willie Nelson classic “On the Road Again … just can’t wait to get on the road again,” then open a Zinfandel or Syrah, two of their favorite reds.

This time, the wine country of Sonoma was in their sights and off they went from their base in San Diego in their posh motor home. Their wine event was the 29th annual “Passport to Dry Creek Valley,” three days of celebration, fantastic wines, music and food.

Dry Creek is in Northern Sonoma county just up Dry Creek Road from Healdsburg, the hottest town with the most tasting rooms in Sonoma.

But the rest of Dry Creek is much more rural than other parts, a differ-

wine lovers into the tasting room. Once in, the 2011 Tuscan Sangiovese should keep you there. Lorenzo Petroni somehow managed to import a Brunello varietal and make it a great wine in Sonoma soil at 800 feet and extreme rock and stone.

Niner Winery is a Paso Robles standout on the west side of Highway 46 near the 101, three near-perfect properties of some 223 acres in Paso and in Edna Valley close by.

Our “roadies” were privileged to meet top hand Andy Niner, CEO and president. Niner emphasized the winery’s focus on “sustainability and high quality wines.” They are known for their estate grown wines like Cabernet, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

My personal favorite of the blends is the 2014 Niner Fogcatcher from two of their vineyards, Heart Hill and Bootjack Ranch ($100).

In it, you’ll find 37 percent Cab Franc, 29 percent Petite Verdot, 28 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 5 percent Malbec. Now that’s a full house of rich and glamorous wine. And 28 months in new French oak seals the deal.

Congratulations to winemaker Patrick Muran on a masterpiece. See more at ninerwine.com.

SANTA ANA — Three more physicians have been charged in connection with an alleged $580 million kickback scheme on spinal surgeries and other services, federal prosecutors said June 14.

Orthopedic surgeon David Hobart Payne, 60, of Irvine, was accused in a grand jury indictment of taking about a $450,000 bribe to direct around $10 million in surgeries to Pacific Hospital of Long Beach.

Lokesh Tantuwaya, 51, of Rancho Santa Fe and Rock Springs, Wyoming, was accused in an indictment of receiving $3.2 million in kickbacks for directing or performing $38 million in surgeries to the hospital.

Jeffrey David Gross, 52, of Dana Point, was accused in an indictment of receiving $622,000 for performing or referring $19 million in surgeries to the hospital.

Nine people have been convicted so far in the scheme that dates back 15 years.

The former owner of the hospital, Michael D. Drobot, 73, was sentenced in January to more than five years in federal prison. Drobot has been cooperating with authorities as they continue to investigate the fraud.

ent vibe where the owners are winemakers or on site pouring their wines. You find 41 wineries with microclimates that cast a complex thread of weather conditions, from fog to relentless sun.

The Hagners love to snug up to the backcountry wineries on roads less traveled. As Dry Creek Road narrows, they discovered Truett Hurst Winery and their ‘60s theme passport party.

Among tasting favorites were the 2016 Three Vineyards Old Vine Zinfandel, close to rocket fuel but oh so “yummy,” Nancine’s favorite descriptor. The other Truett Hurst memory maker was “Lucy,” a well-balanced red blend Zin at a great price point ($42).

DeLorimier is another well respected winery on the Dry Creek trail, pouring a 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon ($42) and a 2015 Italian Primitivo which some say was the genesis of Zinfandel ($36).

By happy accident, our “roadies” happened on to a rustic old winery on a ratchety one-way road, with the old world Italian name of Patroni Winery. It’s just a few miles north of the city of Sonoma.

Mobile dental program aims to keep seniors smiling REGION — For 18 years Dr. Roya Mirkhan has provided top-quality specialized dental services to patients in San Diego. With a large number of elderly patients, she recognized a set of challenges unique to the senior population when it came to dental needs. The idea for ButterFlies Smile® was born out of Dr. Mirkhan’s compassion for her patients and her realization that she had a way she could help them address their dental health and improve their overall quality of life at the same time.

One area Dr. Mirkhan specializes in is dental implants. “I treat a lot of elderly patients for their implant needs due to teeth loss,” she said. “I see how they eventually have a hard time making it to my office and I was getting a lot of family requests for home care for

their dental needs. I decided to establish a state-of-theart dental mobile care service to be able to take care of these patients in the best possible way. I can see them anywhere, and treat them, even if they are medically compromised.”

ButterFlies Smile® was designed to address the important social concern of the often neglected senior population by offering minimally invasive treatments at a discounted price for those living in assisted living, retirement and memory care facilities in San Diego. “We are able to eliminate travel time, waiting time, idle time in the chair and inevitable delays that can make a trip to the dentist take as long as three hours,” Dr. Mirkhan said, adding that it is especially helpful for those who have difficulty traveling due Dr. Roya Mirkhan.

Local company helps outdoor enthusiasts enjoy the sun safely ENCINITAS — Matt Goldberg likes to see the sunny side of life — literally and figuratively.

The active Encinitas father was able to turn an early melanoma diagnosis into a successful business that enables families to enjoy the outdoors while staying safe from the sun’s harmful rays.

Goldberg is the co-owner of Neso Tents, which makes shade and shelter tents for the beach, camping, sports and other outdoor activities. An engineering degree and a concept from a friend, together with his diagnosis led him to create the tents.

Unlike bulky beach umbrellas, Neso Tents offer sun protection of UPF 50+, easy portability, as well as simple setup. “We saw a need for something different, that people could bring to any outdoor adventure and feel protected,” Goldberg said. “The innovative

design features anchor bags that can be filled with sand or rocks. This allows us to create a lightweight sun shade that can be brought with you all over the world.”

The name Neso had a local inspiration. “I was living on Neptune Avenue with a friend of mine while trying to come up with a name,” Goldberg said. “As surfers, we know that the moons are critical to the tides. We did some research and found that the farthest and most newly discovered Neptune moon was Neso.

We had found our name.”

Neso Tents come in two sizes. The Neso 1 is 82 x 80 inches. The Neso Grande is 110 x 110 inches. Both sizes are available in solids as well as prints. The Neso Tent is water-resistant and washable and comes with rust-proof aluminum poles.

The Neso Grande also boasts a cooler pocket for snacks and drinks in its carrying case.

portable and lightweight products that allow families to get out in the ever-present North County sunshine.

“Our team is united in our love of the outdoors.” Goldberg continued, “We are friends, surfers, travelers and hikers. We also share a commitment to taking care of our bodies and our planet. Most importantly, we understand that time with our families is precious.”

Neso’s mission and its products are resonating with customers. “Now sold in 57 countries and counting, our goal is to help not just North County, but people all over the world, enjoy themselves because that’s what life is all about!”

Understanding sunscreen: The A’s and B’s of UV skin damage Everyone knows that daily sunscreen use is a great way to minimize skin-cancer risk and fight the signs of aging.

The Passing Parade

N i n e t y - s i x-y e a r- o ld Barney Smith of Alamo Heights, Texas, is known around those parts as the King of the Commode for his life’s work: more than 1,300 decorated toilet seats, all displayed in the retired master plumber’s Toilet Seat Art Museum. But now, he concedes, it’s time to put a lid on it: “I’m beginning to feel like I’d rather be in an air-conditioned home in a chair, looking at a good program,” Smith, who is bent with arthritis and uses a cane, told the Associated Press on May 22. Inside the metal-garage museum the collection includes toilet lids decorated with a chunk of the Berlin Wall, a piece of insulation from the Space Shuttle Challenger, Pez dispensers and flint arrowheads, along with the toilet lid from the airplane that carried Aristotle Onassis' body back to Greece after his death. Smith told his wife, Louise, that he would stop at 500 pieces, but that was 850 lids ago. “If I would have just read my Bible as many hours as I spent on my toilet seats, I’d be a better man,” Smith said. Louise died in 2014, and Smith took a fall recently and broke some ribs. Now he’s looking for someone who will keep the museum intact: “This is my life’s history here.” [The Associated Press, 5/22/2018] Precocious

On May 20, as a handful of adults enjoyed the swings at Angel Park in southwest Atlanta, two children walked up and asked to use the swing set. The adults agreed and started to walk away, reported The (Macon, Georgia) Telegraph, when the boys, about 6 and 12 years old, pulled out rocks the size of baseballs and what appeared to be a black handgun. They threw the rocks, hitting one man on the calf and causing an abrasion, according to Atlanta police. The older boy held the gun and pointed it at the adults, who ran away as the boys ran in the opposite direction. Earlier in May, two children were reported for an alleged armed carjacking in the same neighborhood. [The Telegraph, 5/21/2018] Compelling Explanation

The band’s inventor, Aaron Fechter of Creative Engineering in Orlando, Florida, refurbished the band members with new masks, skin and costumes, and the playlist is set to include old standards as well as more contemporary hits.

Summer opportunity to host Japanese youth REGION — In 2007, families from Torrey Pines High School began hosting the senior members of the Ritsumeikan Uji High School football team from Kyoto, Japan, as they traveled to Torrey Pines to learn more about American football, and the English language.

The Panther players and coaches are returning again in August, and TPHS is looking for Falcon football families to host the young men beginning Aug. 4 through Aug. 16.

“I promise you, this is an opportunity to meet and be exposed to student athletes that will remain a part of your family for the rest of your life,” said organizer Ed Burke. “Without exception, you will meet and get close to a polite, bright, and grateful teenager that will win your heart, and expose you to a very warm and welcoming culture.”

Hosts will be asked to provide housing, meals,

and transportation to and from Torrey Pines High School each day that they are here. There may be times when they will be on an excursion and provide their own meal, but normally you will be expected to provide them with three meals a day. Hosts will receive a $15 a day stipend for each boy you host, to help offset expenses. Some families have the room and prefer to house two players.

“In all of our previous years we have never had a negative incident, and the trip usually ends with the team loading onto the bus with 20 sobbing boys looking out at 20 Americans in total tears,” said Burke. “Many of our previous host families are still in touch with the student who stayed with them, and some have used the experience to visit their guest at his home in Japan.”

If interested, contact Ed Burke at edandloretta@sbcglobal.net or call at (760) 331-7412.

Registration open for county property auction REGION — San Diego County opened bidder registration June 18 for the online re-offer property tax auction to be held next month.

If owners don’t pay property taxes for five years or more, the county can auction properties to recover back taxes.

The upcoming auction, to be held July 20-25, will feature 691 properties, mostly timeshares. There also will be 33 unimproved plots of land as well as three improved properties,

The available properties were left over from a May auction, during which 323 parcels were purchased for a total of $3 million.

Potential participants must register at sdttc.mytaxsale.com by 5 p.m. on July 12. Registrants will need to pay a refundable $1,000 deposit and nonrefundable $35 processing fee.

Solana Beach recognized as a ‘Bicycle Friendly Community’

By Bianca Kaplanek

SOLANA BEACH -- In recognition of its efforts to promote nonmotorized, two-wheeled transportation, the city recently received the silver level League of American Bicyclists’ Bicycle Friendly Community Award.

The honor “truly added us to an elite group of other communities across the nation,” City Manager Greg Wade said when he presented the award at the June 13 meeting to Councilman Dave Zito, who sought the designation three years ago.

“Under the leadership of this City Council, the quality of life in Solana Beach is being enhanced through environmental sustainability and active transportation initiatives which have clearly demonstrated the city’s commit-

ment to bicycle friendliness and complete street standards,” Wade said.

“This recognizes our commitment to improving conditions for bicycling within the community and also the city’s investment in bicycling promotion, education programs, infrastructure and pro-bicycling policies,” he added.

Founded in 1880 by “Wheelmen” on high-wheel bikes to get roads paved, the league represents bicyclists in the movement to create safer roads, stronger communities and a bicycle-friendly America.

Through information, advocacy and promotion, affiliates work to celebrate and preserve the freedom cycling brings to members everywhere, according to its website.

Since the creation of the Bicy-

cle Friendly Community program in 1995, more than 1,500 community applications have been processed, resulting in 450 recognized communities.

Within the county, Solana Beach joins Coronado and Oceanside in achieving silver level status.

Chula Vista and San Diego hold bronze level awards.

Wade said the program “emphasizes that bicycling can be a simple solution to some of the challenges we face as a community.”

“Solana Beach and its residents know that bicycling is about mobility, sustainability, health and so much more,” he added. “Local community support and advocacy is also vital.

“Solana Beach is fortunate to have a group like BikeWalkSolana to advocate on our behalf,” Wade

said. “This award truly would not have been possible but for the efforts of BikeWalkSolana. They tirelessly give to the community and … particularly with this grant application … which was no small feat.”

He said the process was “thorough and intensive and took quite a bit of effort.”

In addition to recognizing BikeWalkSolana and Zito, Wade thanked members of the Public Works Department for their help.

Zito said the award is a “reflection of the attitude that we have in the city of making sure it’s an active-transportation-friendly city.”

Each year the league assesses all 50 states through a voluntary application process. Award status last four years. Silver is the third

highest level. Recipients can upgrade to gold and platinum.

To reach gold level, Solana Beach can continue to expand its bike network, upgrade existing facilities to increase protection and separation between modes and partner with neighboring jurisdictions on comprehensive plans for better regional connectivity.

The city can also encourage local businesses, agencies and organizations to promote cycling to their employees and customers and seek recognition through the Bicycle Friendly Business program.

Additionally, Solana Beach could work with law enforcement to ensure that enforcement activities are targeted at motorist infractions most likely to lead to crashes, injuries and fatalities among bicyclists.
