Council updated on community park BY JOE TASH About 16 months after the opening of the $43 million Encinitas Community Park, the City Council received an update on the park’s usage and potential plans for future improvements at its meeting on Wednesday, May 18. Among the highlights of the report, which was presented by interim Parks and Recreation director Jim O’Grady, were:
• The park, which includes sports fields, trails, picnic areas, a playground and skate park, has stayed within its $377,000 annual operating budget. • Each week, some 1,000 people and their four-legged companions use the dog park, while about 1,500 visitors use the skate park. • The park receives nearly 9,000 impressions on Instagram every two weeks.
• More than 1,000 trees have been planted in the park so far. • The park’s sports fields have logged nearly 5,000 hours of use. • The dog park has received a five-star rating on Yelp. • From January through December 2015, the Sheriff’s Department received 143 calls for service at the park, or an average of 3.3 per acre. “It’s really such a wonderful multi-purpose park.

Encinitas keeping an eye on bark beetles BY JARED WHITLOCK The city of Encinitas is monitoring local parks for bark beetles, pests that can damage or even kill trees. Bark beetles thrive during drought conditions and have killed millions of trees in California. An initial city survey of local parks found bark beetles have infested two pine trees at Wiro Park in Olivenhain and another tree on public property near Village Park, according to Michael Stauffer, senior parks management analyst. Stauffer last week said one possible solution to
counter the pests is injecting a pesticide called TREE-Age into the trunks of the three afflicted trees. "We care deeply about trees in this community, and anytime a tree shows signs of stress, we’ll identify the problem, monitor it and take a targeted approach," Stauffer said. Parks Supervisor Bob Keeley said the city will take action soon because there’s a risk of losing the three trees, and the city wants to stop the bark beetles from spreading. SEE BEETLES, A10

D.A. clears deputies involved in ‘suicide by cop’ cases BY PAULINE REPARD Sheriff’s deputies in Alpine and Encinitas were legally justified in shooting two mentally ill men, bent on “suicide by cop,” who threatened them with weapons last year, the District Attorney concluded. District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis released reviews on the cases recently after sending the reports to the Sheriff’s Department in April. There was no bodyworn camera or other video of either shooting to release under a new policy, adopted a week ago, to make such footage public. The two shootings were similar in that both of the men who were shot were depressed, told family members they would make a cop shoot them, and threatened a deputy with a weapon — a loaded shotgun in one case, a screwdriver in the other. One man had been drinking heavily for days, the other was off his psychiatric medicine but had it in his system. In both cases, a sheriff ’s deputy ordered the man to drop the weapon. In one, the deputy walked backward to keep his distance. Both men died of their wounds. Dumanis found that both deputies acted reasonably under their circumstances. In one case, Simon Hubble, 33, diagnosed with mental illness, had walked out of a treatment program and showed up at his parents’ Alpine home talking of suicide by cop or heroin overdose. The sober-living staff called the Sheriff ’s Department on May 27
last year. Three deputies headed to the remote home and learned of Hubble’s background with mental illness, arrests, and suicide attempts. His parents said he had driven away but threatened to use a screwdriver to attack a police officer, who would then have to shoot him. Deputy Aaron Miller spotted Hubble and they both got out of their cars. The report said Hubble walked toward the deputy, holding a screwdriver in front of him. Miller twice used a Taser on Hubble, to no effect. Miller backed away, telling Hubble he didn’t want to shoot him, while Hubble advanced. The deputy backed to a berm along the edge of the dirt road and then, fearing he’d fall and be attacked, fired three rounds at Hubble at a distance of 15 feet, hitting him twice in the chest. Deputies rendered aid, but Hubble died. Miller had been a deputy for six years. “Deputy Aaron Miller had few choices available to him as he faced Mr. Hubble alone on a remote dirt road in Alpine,” the District Attorney’s report said. “He gave Mr. Hubble multiple opportunities to reconsider his actions. Deputy Miller ... ultimately pleaded with Hubble to not force him to shoot him.” In the second incident, Gary Kendrick, 56, had been depressed and drinking for several days, and had attempted suicide in 2013. On March 27 last year he armed himself with a 12-gauge shotgun, but it jammed when he SEE DEPUTIES, A8

Canyon Crest Academy names new principal The San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Trustees and Superintendent Rick Schmitt recently announced that Brett Killeen, assistant superintendent of human relations in the Vista Unified School District, is returning to the San Dieguito Union High School District to serve as principal of Canyon Crest Brett Academy (CCA). Killeen Killeen takes over for Karl Mueller, who was recently selected to lead the Coronado Unified School District as superintendent. Killeen, who is in his 25th year in education, 17 of which have been in leadership, previously served as the principal of Torrey Pines High School from 2006 to 2013. Prior to this experience, he was a high school principal, vice principal, high school English teacher, middle school language arts and reading teacher, BTSA support provider, and coach in the San Bernardino City Unified School
District. Killeen and his family have well-established roots in the community. In addition to living in the area and leading Torrey Pines, his wife, Claire, teaches elementary school in Encinitas, and his sons attended Oak Crest Middle School and San Dieguito High School Academy (SDHSA). His eldest just finished his freshman year at Point Loma Nazarene University, where he is majoring in music and business, and his other son is a junior at SDHSA. Their daughter is a 7th grader at Diegueno Middle School. Asked about the transition from his current position in Vista Unified to the CCA Principalship, Killeen said: “I will forever be thankful for the opportunity to learn and lead in the Vista Unified School District -- it’s truly a fantastic team doing great work for kids every day. It is difficult to leave such a great position where my contribution to kids is through the hard work of our committed adults. “The opportunity to return to SDUHSD to lead an amazing school like CCA, however, is too great to
pass up, and I will once again be able to make a more direct and personal contribution to students at the site level as part of a district with a rich history of success. The high school principalship -particularly at a special school like CCA -- provides an educational leader the unique opportunity to support and work with all constituencies (students, classified staff, teachers, administrators, parents, and community members) on a daily basis.” With respect to CCA specifically, Killeen said, “I’m familiar with the history and culture of CCA, having worked with Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Kohn, and I’ve been a friend and colleague of Mr. Mueller’s for 10 years. I’ve been following the successes of CCA’s creative and inspiring students, teachers, and staff, and I look forward to joining this special team and becoming a part of the fabric that makes the school and district so special.” Killeen will finish out the year in his present position in the Vista Unified School District, and he will start in his new position on July 1, 2016.

Cardiff School District gathers community feedback to address aging facilities and safety needs — Submitted press release Cardiff School District, a small, two-school district, is considering a school improvement bond measure for major capital improvements to its facilities ahead of the upcoming November 2016 ballot. The District’s primary needs are to improve safety and make major repairs and facility improvements to the aging 55-65-year-old buildings on the Cardiff School campus. Cardiff School was founded in 1913 with 23 students. It was rebuilt in 1950, modernized in 2002, and currently serves 369 kindergartens through third grade students. Ada W. Harris Elementary School, which presently serves 350 third through sixth grade students, was originally constructed in 1960 and was completely rebuilt in 2002 using a school improvement bond measure. The Cardiff School District Board of Trustees began to review facilities needs as a result of the findings in a recent Facilities Master Plan (“FMP”) presented to the board by the San Diego County Office of Education, Facilities Solutions Groups in the fall of 2015. The identified FMP needs, totaling over $2.9 million, included major facility repairs at
Cardiff School, such as the replacement of 65-year-old inoperable, classroom windows, leaking roofs, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. While the schools have been maintained over the years, many of the Cardiff School buildings are 55-65 years old and do not meet 21st century learning standards. Additional facilities needs of approximately $4 million have also been identified by the board, including the replacement of aging portable classrooms on both campuses, a safety retrofit on the brick building on the Cardiff campus, and the completion of other facilities projects not addressed in the 2000 school improvement bond measure, such as addressing handicapped accessibility compliance in the 1950’s Cardiff School kitchen.

30 years after cancer treatment, Encinitas man still rocking BY JOE TASH When Russ Zinser speaks to people with cancer, he urges them to look beyond their disease and its treatment. “That’s one of the messages I give when I talk. Figure out what you’re going to do when you get out of the treatment process, and plan on getting out,” said Zinser, 66, an Encinitas resident who will celebrate 30 years of being cancer free on June 19. Zinser will share his empowering message at an event for cancer survivors scheduled for 11 a.m. on Sunday, June 12, at Scripps Green Hospital in La Jolla. That date is one week before the 30th anniversary of the bone marrow transplant he received to combat chronic myelogenous leukemia, or CML. The disease is caused by a genetic mutation, and Zinser said doctors declared him cured about a year after the procedure, when tests could no longer detect the mutation in his DNA. Before he could reach his goal of a cure, Zinser had to undergo the grueling process of the bone marrow transplant, which entailed a hospital stay of about seven weeks. Dr. William Miller, a Scripps Clinic hematologist/oncologist who treated Zinser, said the transplant involves administering high-dose chemotherapy and total body radiation with the goal of obliterating the patient’s diseased bone marrow, and with it, his or her own immune system. A new immune system is then put in place through the transplant, using bone marrow from a donor, which in Zinser’s case was a sibling, said Miller. (Zinser recalled that receiving the donated marrow was like getting

While bone marrow transplants are still used for some forms of cancer, in the case of CML, the cancer that Zinser had, a new drug became available in 2001 that effectively turns off the cancer cells and puts the patient into remission, Miller said. Today, said Miller, researchers are working on new treatments that will harness the power of
patient’s own immune system and focus that power on killing cancer cells. “That’s a cause for huge excitement and I share that excitement,” he said. Zinser, a retired management consultant, said that at the time of his transplant, he was told to expect to be out of work for a year. “I just would not accept that,” he said, and instead was back on the job, bald and wearing a hat, in four months. A few months after that, he was back to his passion of staying physically fit through running, playing softball and other activities. During his hospital stay, he taught himself a music-making computer program, and later, fulfilled his goals of writing both songs and prose. One of his two novels, a science fiction tale called “In the Balance,” is available on Amazon.com. He also put out his own rock
L OU M ARTIN SELLS
THE
music CD. Among the lessons he learned from his battle with cancer, said Zinser, is “that life is fragile and you could be gone in a second. Things that I may have put off, I didn’t put off anymore.” These days, said Zinser, he keeps busy playing golf, keeping fit, making music and gardening. He also enjoys the companionship of his family, including his wife, children and grandchildren. “There’s not a lot of down time,” he said. Anyone who has a suspicious ailment should get it checked out as soon as possible, rather than putting off a doctor visit out of fear of hearing bad news, he said, crediting early detection of his cancer with his successful treatment. A positive attitude also helps, said Miller. “It’s not easy to fight a potentially fatal disease to a standstill and win, it takes a huge amount of effort. Having a person who believes that can be done and is willing to fight for that outcome has been a recurrent source of inspiration in watching my patients over the last 30 years,” Miller said. “My impression when I’ve interacted with (Zinser) over the last 30 years is that he’s enjoyed his life very much,” said Miller. “It does make a difference, it makes it possible to fight your disease and live your life as well as it can possibly be done.” Those who want to attend the cancer survivor’s event on June 12 at Scripps Green Hospital are asked to register by June 6 at 858-554-8533. Another cancer survivor’s event is planned for June 25 at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. Register by calling 1-800-SCRIPPS (1-800-727-4777).

The Mustangs championship was the program’s first in more than 20 years. The Mustangs were led by No. 1 doubles teammates Kyle Bone and Cole Urcelay, who were 17-4 on the season. The Mavericks got solid contributions from players whose versatility allowed longtime SDA coach Joe Tomasi the flexibility to rotate them in singles and doubles roles. Key contributors included Jacob Bear, Cruz Martinez, Cole Bridges, Cole Urcelay and Kyle Bone. Bear and Martinez are freshmen.

‘Top secret’ wartime story revealed at the American Legion The San Dieguito American Legion Post 416 has been located in Encinitas since WWI. They have been operating out of original American Legion structures located in North County San Diego since 1930. Membership has more than doubled in the past year, while active duty and veterans are coming together for support of one another. On April 30, the American Legion hosted a fundraiser in honor of retired Navy Captain, E. Royce Williams. Williams disclosed his story from the Korean War that has been kept “top secret” for more than 50 years. William’s code name is the “The Forgotten Hero of the Forgotten War” and this is why. As a U.S. Navy Aviator, Captain Williams single-handedly shot down four Russian MiG-15s in a 35-minute mid-air battle during a 7 on 1 encounter, during this historical moment, while simply doing his job. “I had the opportunity to meet with President Eisenhower after the fierce engagement and didn’t even mention the topic to him,” Williams said. His wife, of more than 40 years; and his brother, also a naval aviator, were never told about this encounter, said Williams. Retired Rear Admiral Doniphan B. Shelton, who accompanied Captain Williams to the American Legion Post 416 fundraising event, would like to see Captain E. Royce Williams recognized properly for what he did Nov. 18, 1952.

Duncan Hunter (R-Calif) office along with two four star admirals’ endorsements. Supporters are on a nationwide campaign to gather 100,000 signatures to demand re-review for recognition.
Remarkably, the San Dieguito American Legion Post 416 of Encinitas’ membership has been moving upwards at staggering rate for the past year with “no slowdown in sight.” The active duty and veterans in the community are reaching out to support one another. San
Dieguito has more than 140 new or transferred members who have recently joined the American Legion Post 416 Encinitas, all whom are currently serving on active duty or are recent discharged wartime veterans. “The community service members have found a place to enjoy camaraderie right in the middle of downtown Encinitas”, said Steve Lewandowski, Post Commander of 416. Lewandowski said service members are utilizing the American Legion post events room and are seeking out services, which is what the American Legion is all about. Lastly, the public is reminded there will be a special event held at the San Dieguito American Legion Post 416 on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30, at 10:45 a.m. at 210 West F Street, located in downtown Encinitas. Nashville recording artist Amy Scruggs will be singing the National Anthem and her band will be entertaining the troops, while Post 416 offers the Memorial Days Ceremony. The American Legion is open daily Monday through Friday 1-9 p.m. Dinner is served, 5-8 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday the American Legion is open 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Dinner is served 5:30-7 p.m. Active Duty, veterans and families of veterans are always welcome.

How to WRECK Your Retirement by overlooking possibility of need for Long Term Health Care LONG-TERM CARE is the #1 Financial Risk faces by retirees. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, at least 70 percent of people over 65 will eventually need long-term care, either at home or in a nursing home, and that can be very expensive. The average stay for a woman entering a nursing home is almost four years; if she’s in a semiprivate room that costs in San Diego is about $375,000. For married couples, the chances that one spouse will need long-term care rises to 91%.

community-funded districts, the board concluded that the district’s general fund is insufficient to support the large capital facilities improvements needed. A review of external funding options led to the conclusion that a school facilities improvement bond measure is the most appropriate and viable option for the district. School facilities improvement bonds are the most common financing tool for school districts throughout the state and locally in San Diego County, and a cost-effective approach to fund major facilities improvements. A school facilities improvement bond measure is based on local assessed valuation and the funds are raised target to specific capital improvements and is overseen by a citizens’ committee. The timing for a school facilities improvement bond measure is advantageous due to the combined effect of high assessed valuation and historically low interest rates. Additionally, the upcoming November election is expected to have high voter turnout and will enable a large percentage of the Cardiff community to weigh in. Locally in Cardiff, voters approved a school improvement bond measure with over 80 percent approval in 2000, which was primarily used to rebuild Ada Harris School. Cardiff property owners are currently paying $33.24 per $100,000 of assessed valuation annually for the 2000 measure which is set to expire in 2025. The original $11 million measure was estimated to cost property owners $43 per $100,000 of assessed value, but refinanced in 2010 to save the community over $500,000. The district currently has a total net bonding capacity of $28.4 million based on Cardiff’s total assessed valuation of $2.67 billion. Project Scope The concern of continuing to invest in an aging 55-65-year-old infrastructure prompted the board to consider a long-term facilities solution for Cardiff School. To date, the board has reviewed plans and budgets from architects and engineers, and consulted with a California public schools’ financial advisor, and has a continuum of options to improve facilities in the district, all of which would require a pursuing a school improvement bond measure. One such plan proposes rebuilding the old classrooms and multipurpose facility on the
FROM DEPUTIES, A2 fired it at his chin at his Encinitas home. He told his wife he would shoot himself if police came. He was in the backyard with the shotgun when a neighbor came over to try to intervene. Kendrick threatened to shoot him. Kendrick was sitting in the yard, gun barrel to his chin, with a vodka bottle nearby, when two deputies got there. Deputy Steven Block, a three-year veteran, approached with a rifle in hand and took cover at the corner of a garage. Block shouted for Kendrick to drop the gun and Kendrick taunted the deputy to shoot him, the report said. Then, it said, Kendrick raised the gun in the deputy’s direction. Block fired three times.
Cardiff School campus and includes designing classrooms for the 21st century learner, increasing safety by improving the campus layout and designated student drop off, and addressing the lack of current parking. Buildings constructed on the campus during the last bond would remain and be architecturally enhanced to reflect the community’s overall vision for the campus. A cost analysis by an outside consulting firm estimated the cost of this project to be $22 million. It is estimated that a school facilities improvement bond could add additional property tax of $26.25 per $100,000 of assessed valuation to Cardiff residents. Obtaining community feedback Many of the community’s residents have attended Cardiff School or have children or grandchildren that attend the iconic school, which overlooks the Pacific Ocean on San Elijo Avenue. Providing a superior education has always been a priority for the Cardiff community. Today the school is viewed as a cornerstone of Cardiff. As such, the board feels that it is important to obtain the community’s feedback regarding the major capital improvements needed at the school. Earlier this month, the district formed a Facilities Focus Group to solicit community input on the scope of the projects and need for a school improvement bond measure. The Focus Group consists of a diverse group of Cardiff residents, business owners, parents, alumni, faculty and other community leaders. The Board of Trustees will use the input from the Facilities Focus Group as one method to obtain community feedback in order to make an informed decision. In addition to the Facilities Focus Group, a formal telephone poll to registered Cardiff voters will gage support for the issue from the greater Cardiff community. An online survey will also be used to solicit input from the families of currently registered students. Timeline going forward Community feedback will be reviewed at the June 9 regular board meeting. A decision regarding future direction will be made by the board in subsequent public board meetings. Currently, Special Board meetings have been scheduled for June 13 and June 16. All meetings are open to the public, and community input is encouraged. The deadline to pass and submit a resolution for inclusion in the November ballot is Aug. 12.
Kendrick sat up and raised the gun again, so Block fired again, killing Kendrick. There was one round in the shotgun’s chamber and six more in an attached shell holder, prosecutors said. Kendrick had a blood-alcohol level of .28 percent, much higher than the .08 percent legal standard of drunken driving. “Block was faced with a situation of imminent danger when Kendrick pointed his shotgun at Block,” the District Attorney’s report said. “Block reasonably believed Kendrick was going to kill him.” The Washington D.C.-based, Police Executive Research Forum, which conducts research on modern policing issues and produces policy and training recommendations, studied police use of force on the mentally ill for 18 months. The
group issued a report in March with 30 recommendations ranging from affirmation of the sanctity of life to outright bans on using deadly force on a suicidal person who isn’t threatening to harm anyone else. The research group advised police agencies to draft policies and train officers in critical decision making, de-escalating a tense situations, and recognizing mental illness. In San Diego County, police and sheriff ’s recruits get at least a required 11 hours of training on mental health issues. The regional police training academy also offers a voluntary one-day course in dealing with the mentally ill, as well as four-hour refresher courses. — Pauline Repard is a writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune

SDUHSD Board Vice President Joyce Dalessandro was especially happy about the plans for Torrey Pines High School in this round of bonds. “Forty-two years ago when Torrey Pines was built it was in the plans for a performing arts center,” Dalessandro said. “I’m so glad we are finally getting there, I really appreciate that.” The district is looking to start construction in winter 2017 on the performing arts center and it is expected to be complete in 18 months. SDUHSD Trustee Amy Herman said she is glad that the district is in the position to be able to meet capacity and growth needs in Pacific Highlands Ranch as it is growing at such a rapid rate.
Arborist Tim Clancy with Four Seasons Tree Care said he hasn’t seen any bark beetle-infested trees recently in Encinitas. "Having said that, we’re mainly focused on commercial properties and HOAs," Clancy said. He added that experienced landscape companies typically take care of trees at HOAs and businesses, so there’s less of a chance of seeing bark beetles on those properties. Bark beetles attack trees weakened by drought, disease or other factors. They can contribute to the death of trees, though only a few aggressive species are known to be the sole cause of tree mortality, stated a recent city newsletter. One sign of infestation is when needles quickly die and change color. The best defense against bark beetles is to keep trees healthy, and they’ll naturally defend themselves by releasing sap that prevents beetles from laying eggs, according to the UC Statewide IPM program. So, residents should irrigate drought-stricken trees, diversify their landscapes, refrain from over-pruning and avoid injuring tree roots during construction.
FROM PARK, A1 providing relief from the sun for users of the playground and dog park areas in particular. “We know that shade is a desperate need,” O’Grady said. Eventually, some of the trees will grow larger and provide more shade, he said, but, “That’s a long time to wait, we’d rather do something sooner than later.” City staff has contacted companies that provide shade structures for playgrounds, and received estimates of $150,000 to $180,000 for a large
structure that would cover the entire playground, said O’Grady. However, he said staff believes the goal can be achieved for less money by strategically placing smaller shade structures. Staff is also considering adding additional shade trees, new paths to provide access to popular areas of the park, and more sophisticated lighting controls to save on electricity costs when the park is not in use. O’Grady said the city can make a renewed effort to seek donations for park improvements, including a program in which inscribed bricks

are sold and installed on the property. Council members seemed open to the ideas. Mayor Kristin Gaspar suggested that fundraising efforts might be more successful if they were targeted toward a specific goal, such as raising money for shade structures or additional storage for sports teams. The potential health risks posed by prolonged exposure to the sun’s rays make the shade structures “a wise move,” said Councilman Tony Kranz, especially for the playground area. Kranz also said that city staff should keep in contact with
neighbors of the park to make sure they are not impacted by noise or other issues caused by the park’s ongoing activities. According to the report, among the calls received by the Sheriff’s Department, 30 were for juveniles causing a disturbance, five were for noise disturbances, 10 were for suspicious persons, 20 were for trespassing and 20 were for being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. No date was set for further discussion of the proposed improvements to the park.

San Dieguito Heritage Museum Petco Foundation invests in lifesaving to host Deep Pit BBQ May 21 work of Rancho Coastal Humane Society Come celebrate local heritage at the 28th Annual Deep Pit BBQ on Saturday, May 21, from noon- 3 p.m. Bring the kids and grandparents out to the “Ranch” to enjoy some succulent deep-pit BBQ, local craft brews, a petting zoo, kids’ games, photo ops, and live music by the band, “Two of Us Plus One,” a silent auction, bake sale and more. The Deep Pit BBQ has become a community tradition. The meal includes slow-roasted beef, rolls, beans, cole slaw, macaroni and cheese, and green salad. Wash it down with a local craft beer or wine. We also have soft drinks and water available. For dessert, you can purchase some delicious baked goods from the Bake Sale! The annual event follows the early Mexican tradition begun locally in the late 1800s when the German settlers of the Olivenhain Colony learned the deep-pit barbecue style from the vaqueros, their cattle-herding neighbors. Adding their own home-grown lima beans and delicious desserts, these early homesteaders passed the old family recipes which have been passed down through the generations. The famous ritual continues at this year’s barbecue, as the loyal longtime crew slowly roasts the tender beef all night over hot coals in a deep covered underground pit. Staying up all night while poking at the fire, reminiscing, and looking at the
stars is a much sought-after job. Cooking barbecue slowly in a deep pit is the perfect technique to cook beef to its tastiest and most succulent level. The Deep Pit BBQ has become a community tradition as friends and families, new and old, enjoy visiting with each other, learning about our local history, and eating great food! There will be a fun-and-games zone for the kids, old-time photo ops, a silent auction, an opportunity drawing (you might win $100 cash), the soft classic rock band, ”Two of Us Plus One,” featuring music from the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s and more, tours of the Museum, the old Del Mar fire engine, and the Museum’s stagecoach and Model T. You can sign up for a tour of the Teten House, dating back to the 1800’s and one of the original homes in Olivenhain. And you might find a treasure or a new T-shirt at the Museum Store. There’s something for everyone! Tickets are $25 for adults in advance ($30 at the door); $15 for teens 13-17; $7 for children 5-12, and children under 5 are free. Food is served from 12:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. The Deep Pit BBQ will be held at the Museum at 450 Quail Gardens Drive, Encinitas. Tickets for the event are available at the Museum or on the Museum website www.SDHeritage.org. For additional information, call 760-632-9711. Please RSVP at SDHeritageMuseum@gmail.com.
The lifesaving work of the Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) in Encinitas is getting a boost thanks to a $100,000 grant from The Petco Foundation. “This will contribute to the mission of your Rancho Coastal Humane Society,” said RCHS President Jim Silveira. “Our Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS) program helps to save the lives of animals that would not survive in other parts of the country. We partner with shelters, sanctuaries, and rescues from Mississippi to Hawaii and beyond. This grant from the Petco Foundation will expand our reach and enable RCHS Society to help even more animals. “Spay and Neuter is another area that will be helped by this grant,” Silveira added. “Here in San Diego County, a pet must be spayed or neutered before it can leave a shelter. RCHS is developing a program that will provide affordable spay/neuter services for rescues throughout the county. Thanks to the Petco Foundation this program could become a reality sooner than we anticipated.” The Petco Foundation awards

Remembering Doug Perkins
W
hen Doug Perkins died May 6, the local community – indeed, the entire San Diego region – lost a great champion for children and the underserved. Locally, many knew Perkins as a long-time trustee of the Del Mar Union School District. But there was so much more. Perkins was early to understand the importance of San Diego’s proximity to Mexico and the need for cooperation between the two border regions. As one of a group that founded the South County Economic Development Council, he served from 1990 to 2004 as its executive director. Current SCEDC president and chief executive officer Cindy Gompper-Graves said, “He was a visionary and would see opportunities when others didn’t. Now it’s the thing to do, to be binational, but back then it wasn’t.” A major South County EDC accomplishment was the opening last December of the Cross Border Xpress, a pedestrian walkway connecting the Tijuana airport to the United States. Gompper-Graves said Perkins conceived of the need for the bridge more than 15 years ago and worked tirelessly to bring it to fruition. “It’s a huge success and is nothing short of miraculous” that it was completed, she said. Gompper-Graves called Perkins a kind person and hard worker who didn’t brag about his work but “just went in and got it done.” Workforce Partnership The San Diego Workforce Partnership, which funds job training programs, was another of Perkins’ passions. Judy Lawton, owner and CEO of The Lawton Group, worked with Perkins in the early years of the SDWP. “Doug was in, out and around the SDWP for so many years,” Lawton said. “He was well-known and very well-respected.” The two worked together in 1978 at a training agency, “which was for each of us the beginning of our adventures into making life better for economically disadvantaged people in our community,” she said. “He was smart, savvy, chronically tardy and always a champion to others in need,” Lawton said. “His tenacity and passion served him well, and he should be remembered for all the good he accomplished for

Great workforce mind/partner. He’ll be missed.” Taxpayers Association The San Diego County Taxpayers Association also benefited from Perkins’ involvement. Scott Barnett, who began his political career in1984 at age 21 when he was elected to the Del Mar City Council, served seven years as executive director of the SDCTA. In 1995, the SDCTA’s 55th year, Barnett wanted to recognize the milestone. It was Perkins, he said, who came up with the idea of doing a local version of then Senator William Proxmire’s Golden Fleece Awards to highlight government waste. Thus was born the SDCTA’s now famous Golden Fleece and Watchdog annual awards dinner. “If not for Doug, the awards would never have happened,” Barnett said. He said Perkins would often say, “The essence of democracy is informed dissent.” “I have plagiarized this line many times,” Barnett said. “In 30 plus years of working in politics, Doug was without doubt one of the most decent guys I’ve ever met,” he said. County Board of Education Perkins, owner of Pacific Gateway Group, served on the San Diego Chamber of Commerce Education Committee, worked for three years on the Executive Committee of the California State Council on Vocational Education, and was a board member of the Able-Disabled Advocacy group. He was also a Deacon of the Solana Beach
they say they grow is from one of the elementary school gardens. If you want your kids to understand farming then join the 4H Club or FFA, both very active and great youth programs. I prefer schools focus on education. Go by and see Farm Lab across from Quail Garden but don’t be fooled by the Community Garden. They are just a tenant that pays next to nothing. Bruce Stirling, Encinitas Presbyterian Church, where he volunteered to help local residents attain legal citizenship, provided career counseling, and assisted military families at Camp Pendleton. His stroke in February 2015 prevented Perkins from serving on San Diego County’s Board of Education, to which he had been elected in November 2014. Although his opponent was endorsed by a long list of big names in education and benefited from teachers’ union money, Perkins won decisively. Perkins was well-known in the Del Mar community, but his name was not generally recognized throughout the rest of District 5, which stretches from Del Mar to Fallbrook along the coastal region. “I never thought he had a chance,” said his wife Carolyn. Perkins’ improbable win was a resounding defeat for the union-backed candidate and victory for a man who believed in strong fiscal oversight, fairness, and nonpartisan decision-making in the best interests of students. Del Mar board Perkins was appointed to an open seat on the Del Mar school board in May 2008, and successfully ran to retain the seat in the 2008 and 2012 elections. One driving principle guided him as a school board member: “He was concerned that money not be spent at the administrative level but that it gets to the kids,” Carolyn said. All three of the Perkins children attended Del Mar Heights Elementary School from kindergarten through sixth grade, then finished their grades 7-12 education at San Dieguito schools. Heights principal Wendy Wardlow remembers Perkins both as a father (“He was so proud of his children,” she said) and as a trustee. “Doug was vibrantly involved with everything we were doing,” Wardlow said. “We didn’t always agree, but I could talk to him and he would listen.” Calling him thoughtful and respectful, she said he influenced her in many ways. “I’ve tried to be a better leader because of Doug,” she said. Although a staunch Republican, Perkins’ friends crossed all political boundaries. Doug Rafner, president of the DMUSD school board, said it was a privilege to work with Perkins on the board for more than four years. “Doug was a warm, kind, generous person, and a good friend,” he said. Perkins “held a torch for the conservative side of all things,” said Rafner, a registered Democrat. “But you had to know who you were dealing with when you worked with Doug Perkins.” He said Perkins put students first in every decision and set aside ideological differences. “Although it was easy for him to see things through his conservative lens, Doug would welcome other viewpoints,” he said. “I think this was all part of what SEE SUTTON, A20

Air Superiority has your rodent issues covered BY EMILY SORENSEN ired of dealing with gophers, ground squirrels and other rodents in your yard? Air Superiority can help you rein in the rats in a unique way. Air Superiority, owned and operated by Tom Stephan out of Ramona, sells barn owl boxes that can be mounted on 16-foot metal poles or in tall trees. These boxes are designed to attract barn owls, who will live in the box and feed on the rodents surrounding your property. “There are three methods of rodent control,” said Stephan. “There’s poison, there’s traps, and there are barn owls.” Stephan said that poisoning rodents is only effective about 20 percent of the time, and the rodents become used to eating poison. Poisoning rodents also leads to the death of baby barn owls, he said, and using traps means handling the bodies of the rodents. Both methods also only deal with rodents after they’ve invaded your property, he said. “Barn owls will hunt on your property and around it, preventing (the rodents) from getting to your property. Barn owls can consume up to 2,000 rodents a year,” he said. Boxes are required to attract barn owls to your property because they are vulnerable to crows during the day and need a safe place to hide. Stephan recommends buying two boxes, as the male of a breeding pair will be kicked out of the female’s box once eggs are laid, so he will need his own box. Air Superiority offers three styles of barn owl boxes, ranging from basic to luxury. The largest, “Hoo’s Hoo,”

Air Superiority's Tom Stephan, with a basic owl box. has an optional camera that can be installed so homeowners can get an up-close look at the owls living on their property. For an additional fee, Stephan will also install the box on your property, which will ensure it is in the right location and at the right height to attract barn owls. For Stephan, birds of prey have been an obsession since childhood. “I wanted to be a falconer as a kid,” he said. .
“I cut my teeth as a falconer as a kid in Poway. I climbed up to every raptor nest (I saw) as a kid, so when I needed a job, I became a tree trimmer.” Stephan spent 20 years in the tree trimming business, and in 1992, was bidding for a job when he spotted an owl box hanging low on a large sycamore tree in her yard. The woman mentioned that her late husband had installed the box, and sadly no owls had ever nested in it. “I said that I’d throw in properly installing the box with my bid, and she accepted.” Three days later, Stephan said she called him, saying a pair of barn owls had begun nesting in the box. Since that first box, Stephan said he has installed about 32,000 owl boxes. “That’s a lot of boxes,” he said. The boxes weren’t originally marketed as rodent control, but after several years of reports from clients on their effectiveness, Stephan began marketing the boxes as such. In addition to years of experience with birds of prey and installing owl boxes, Stephan also uses a proprietary formula in his boxes to keep bees away, as bees can take over a box for a hive. “It’s guaranteed to keep bees away for the life of the box,” he said. To find out more about barn owl boxes or to purchase one for your yard, call (760) 445-2023 or visit barnowlboxes.com. — Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of its advertisers.

Sun Exposure, Heat, and Varicose Veins— Is there a Link? It seems as though we just had the wintery weather of El Niño, and already things are heating up. But this is typical of life in Southern California. However, whether or not people are happy with this weather change, what is often noticed is an increase in varicose veins when things start to heat up. Why is this? Does sun exposure increase the chances of getting varicose veins? In a word, no. So while it’s good to always wear sunscreen on your whole body when
exposed even an hour to the sun, the sun’s rays will not contribute to you acquiring varicose veins. Remember, much of your likelihood of getting varicose veins comes from genetics. These veins are the enlarged, rope-like veins that appear near the surface of the skin, usually in the legs and ankles. The main contributor of their development is weakened vein walls and faulty valves, exacerbated by increased pressure in the lower extremities. The veins that normally pump blood back up the legs falter, and the blood then collects, pooling up and increasing pressure on the veins, which further weakens and damages them. This condition affects about 40% of women and 25% of men. So why is there a noticeable increase in varicose (and spider) veins in warmer months? Another word: heat. It’s not the sun that is the problem; when you are exposed to warm weather, leg veins dilate and enlarge, which can cause them to fill with more blood. Blood is also brought closer to the
skin to help cool down the body, making veins look larger. People who already experience symptoms will likely find an increase in the appearance of these veins. This means that if you have symptoms of varicose veins, you should avoid heat, such as long hot baths or submersion in hot tubs and steam rooms. And if your legs are aching because of swollen veins, opt for ice packs, staying far away from heat packs. What should be done to relieve varicose veins? Unfortunately, these do not go away on their own, even if the weather cools off. It may be time to consider sclerotherapy, an injection of the chemical sclerosant directly into a varicose vein in order to damage the inside lining of the vein. The subsequent scarring causes the vein to close. This can be done in an office lunch visit, 5-30 minutes, depending on the number of veins to be injected. There is minimal recovery time. Sclerotherapy has over an 80% effectiveness rate among patients. Among its many benefits, sclerotherapy costs much less than surgery or EVLT/RFA (endovenous laser
Look to these local authorities for professional guidance on daily living at delmartimes.net/columns
therapy or radiofrequency ablation) and requires no hospital stay. Is now the best time to get sclerotherapy? Some people prefer to have the procedure done in fall or winter, when the weather is cooler, because compression stockings and leggings are often recommended post-procedure. But if you are planning a summer trip, now may be an ideal time to nip the condition in the bud. Keep in mind that varicose veins are a medical condition. If you are in pain or even discomfort, your quality of life is being affected. Treatment can provide immediate relief for some and quick relief for most everyone else. Prolonging treatment can actually lead to serious conditions such as deep vein thrombosis.

DID YOU KNOW...? It is said that, in 1941 the Ford motor company produced an experimental automobile with a plastic body composed of 70% cellulose fibers from hemp. The car body could absorb blows 10 times as great as steel without denting. The car was designed to run on hemp fuel. Because of the ban on both hemp and alcohol, the car was never mass produced. DID YOU KNOW...? Barbie was introduced at the New York Toy Fair on 9 March 1959; her real name is Barbie Millicent Roberts and her parents are Ruth and Elliot Handler. Barbie has four sisters: Skipper (1964), Stacie (1992), Kelly (1995) and Krissy (1995).Ken, Barbie’s boyfriend, debuted in 1961. Unfortunately, they split up on Valentine’s Day 2004.

FROM SUTTON, A16 made Doug Perkins so special.” Calling Perkins an insightful and wise leader, DMUSD superintendent Holly McClurg said, “Doug was a wonderful man, and I had such respect for him.” “DMUSD is better because of his strong leadership and his love for our district’s children, staff, and community,” she said. Tragic loss Perkins grew up in New Jersey and received his undergraduate degree in Spanish and counseling from Bucknell University and his master’s degree in education from the University of Maryland. Besides his family and conservative causes, Carolyn said Doug had three other passions: the beach, public education, and music. He was loyal, a hard worker, trustworthy and honest, she said. “He could not tolerate dishonesty,” Carolyn said. “You never wondered if what he’s saying is true.” He did not have any serious underlying health issues, she said, so the stroke came without warning, during a Sunday morning church service in early February 2015. Despite doctors in church who tended to him quickly and a fast-response ambulance, it was a massive hemorrhagic stroke from which he never recovered. Perkins lived for 15 months after his stroke, Carolyn said, but never had a good quality of life. He died May 6 at the age of 65. He is survived by his wife, three children, one sister, two brothers, and his father Harry Perkins, age 91, who resides in New Jersey. There are many reasons why Perkins’ death is tragic. His family’s pain is immeasurable. And for the public, who can no longer benefit from his intelligence, passion, wisdom and charm, we’ve lost a powerful voice for children and for the poor and struggling among us. The loss is irreplaceable. A celebration of Doug Perkins’ life will be held Friday, June 10 at 2 p.m. at the Solana Beach Presbyterian Church at 120 Stevens Avenue in Solana Beach. [For the complete version of this tribute to Doug Perkins, please go to this column at encinitasadvocate.com.] Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.
