Schmitt honored by county on his last day

BY KAREN BILLING As Superintendent Rick Schmitt conducted his last piece of business, overseeing Thursday night’s San Dieguito Union High School District meeting, County Supervisor Dave Roberts proclaimed June 30 Rick Schmitt Day throughout the County of San Diego. “I think when we look around the state of California and look at well-run high school districts, people think of San Dieguito and they think of you — quite frankly, that’s why you got stolen from us,” said Roberts, who is also a parent of two children in the district. “Everybody that I talk to around the state just praises you. We all admire you, we all respect you.” Schmitt planned to leave the day after his last meeting in Encinitas to start immediately at his new post as superintendent at the San Ramon Valley Unified District on July 1. Schmitt was a part of the district for 13 years, serving as principal at Torrey Pines High School for three years, six years as the associate SEE SCHMITT, A4

Co-founder Bill Sparks shows off a proclamation from the mayor of Encinitas in appreciation for all Los Angelitos de Encinitas does for the community.

Los Angelitos de Encinitas provides academic and athletic opportunities BY CHRIS SAUR ore than nine years ago, Bill Sparks and his wife, Sarah Garfield, noticed some Encinitas residents that were struggling. Since then, it has been their mission to help local low-income families give their kids the same experiences available to other Encinitas children, and they’ve done it by founding the nonprofit Los Angelitos de Encinitas. When their son, David, now 19, started at Paul Ecke-Central Elementary School, Sparks and Garfield, his wife of 22 years, wondered why there was a class full of Hispanic kids separated from the rest of the students. After doing some research and finding out that dual-language immersion could be beneficial to both English- and Spanish-speaking students, Sparks and Garfield began advocating for that approach at PTA and school board meetings.

When they were able to receive a special exemption for David to be placed in the Hispanic class for a few hours a week — resulting in the young boy playing soccer with his new classmates every day at recess — a new idea was born. The family noticed that while these kids loved soccer, hardly any of them could afford to play in the Encinitas community soccer league. As they worked toward that goal, eventually creating a team of 14 Hispanic kids and David that played indoor soccer at the Magdalena Ecke YMCA, more ideas began to take shape. Since becoming an officially sanctioned nonprofit in 2008, Los Angelitos has partnered with the Encinitas and Cardiff soccer leagues to make it possible for hundreds of low-income children to play the sport, teamed with the Encinitas Union School District to created 40 SEE NONPROFIT, A19

SDUHSD approves 2016-17 budget, vote not unanimous BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board approved its 2016-17 budget in a contentious 3-2 vote on June 30. Trustees Mo Muir and John Salazar voted against it. The budget includes a projected $129 million in revenue and $136 million in expenditures, a deficit of $6.7 million.

The budget meets the board’s recommended 4.5 percent level of reserve funds, with an end balance of $13 million. The budget reflects an increase in revenue due to an estimated increase in property tax of 5 percent and an increase in state funding under the Local Control Funding Formula.

Expenditures are up overall due to the 5.5 percent salary increases approved for all employees, additional staffing at Pacific Trails Middle School and an increase in counselors, psychologists and social workers. Despite the 3-2 vote, trustee Amy Herman said she appreciated how many of the board’s suggestions were

added to the budget this year, such as more class options and sections at Torrey Pines and La Costa Canyon, more counselors and more campus security. “I’m proud of the work this team did,” Superintendent Rick Schmitt said. “Everything you all asked for we were SEE BUDGET, A18

Panel allocates $100M for highway, rail improvements

Man, woman hit by train in Encinitas BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A commuter train struck a man and woman who lay down in front of it July 1 on a stretch of tracks near Swami’s Beach in Encinitas in an apparent attempt to commit simultaneous suicide, sheriff’s officials reported. The engineer of the Coaster locomotive saw the pair in his path near South Coast Highway 101 and K Street in Encinitas about 3:15 p.m. while heading south at roughly 50 mph, Deputy Amber Reeves said. The driver activated his brakes and sounded his horn, but the couple did not move and were hit by the slowing train. Medics took them to a hospital for treatment of injuries of undisclosed severity. The case was being investigated as an attempted double suicide, Lt. Eddie Brock said. The incident forced delays in rail service in the area into the late afternoon.

North Coast beaches are wider thanks to 2012 effort Local beaches that were replenished with sand in 2012 as part of a regionwide shoreline preservation project are on average 33 feet wider and three to six feet higher than in 2009, despite the big waves from the last El Niño winter, according a new study by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. As part of the study, Scripps researchers measured and compared sand levels at several beaches over the past seven years. The baseline year was the winter of 2009-2010, and the most recent measurement was conducted in the winter of 2015-2016. Due to El Niño, the first and last winter seasons included in the study were considered to be the most erosive between 2009 and 2016. “San Diegans and tourists who flock to our shoreline to have fun will enjoy wider and sandier beaches because of the collaborative effort between SANDAG, local cities, and the SEE BEACHES, A17

The first phase of the North Coast Corridor Program, a $6 billion investment in infrastructure and environmental improvements along the coast between La Jolla and Oceanside over the next 30 years, should begin construction in late 2016 after the California Transportation Commission voted June 30 to allocate $103.7 million to the San Diego region to extend carpool lanes on Interstate 5 and add a second track to a portion of the coastal rail line in North San Diego County. The funding will enable the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to begin construction on a $700 million package of improvement projects in Encinitas and the surrounding areas. Goals of the projects, acorrding to a news release, include expanding travel

choices by extending the carpool lanes on I-5 from Lomas Santa Fe Drive to State Route 78; increasing the efficiency and reliability of the rail corridor with two double tracking projects across the San Elijo and Batiquitos Lagoons; bike/pedestrian improvements in Encinitas and Carlsbad; upgrading the interchanges at Encinitas Boulevard and Santa Fe with new bike/pedestrian paths and restoring the San Elijo Lagoon, specifically to improve tidal flow and water quality and expand the salt marsh habitat. “This transportation corridor is among the most important assets in our region,” SANDAG Chair and San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chair Ron Roberts said in the release. “Once again, we are pleased that by combining state funding with our local TransNet half-cent sales tax, we are able to move forward with much SEE PROJECTS, A17

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - JULY 8, 2016 - PAGE A3

Encinitas woman continues her family’s mission of Holocaust Education Samuels donates her survivor grandfather’s artifacts to museum BY CHRIS SAUR A Cardiff woman has made a donation of family artifacts to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C., and Corey Samuels is urging others to do the same. Samuels made the decision to give the photographs, ID cards, patches and more artifacts connected with her grandfather Henry Oertelt — a survivor and Holocaust lecturer — to the museum after they were nearly lost in a flood. “People who have survivors in their family should know that this option is available,” Samuels explained. “The curators at the Holocaust Museum were great. It was a really personal experience. She spent a whole afternoon with us, talking about my family’s story and looking at the different artifacts. But people can also just ship the items. “There are things in there like a Hitler Youth armband and some pretty gruesome liberation pictures, that I wouldn’t have ever felt right disposing of, but I couldn’t think of where they would be appropriate to be displayed either. So this was a perfect opportunity.” The donation is the culmination of the family’s five-decade mission to educate others on the Holocaust and keep Oertelt’s incredible story alive. Also part of the journey is the short film “Becoming Henry” that

Samuels made with Stephanie Silverman Houser in 2014. Oertelt was liberated by General Patton’s Third Army during the Flossenburg death march in April 1945. He arrived in St, Paul, Minn. in 1949 and was, at first, reluctant to tell his story. “Part of the story that’s in the short film is the story of how he, after surviving, in Minnesota met the commander who freed him from a death march, at a cocktail party. Just a crazy chance event,” Samuel said. “And around that time, there was a university professor who kept asking my grandpa over and over again if he would come speak to his class. He was finally convinced to come talk to the class one time, and it led to this 40-year (stint lecturing about his experiences and the importance of tolerance, political involvement and confronting hatred).” Oertelt wrote a book “An Unbroken Chain: My Journey through the Nazi Holocaust” on which the movie is based, was given three honorary doctorate degrees — from St. Cloud State University, South West State University and St. Olaf in Minnesota — and received a key to the city of St. Paul on April 23, 2006, which was named “Henry A. Oertelt Day.” Oerfelt’s daughter (who is Samuels’ mother) Steffi Oertelt Samuels, co-authored the book, created a teacher’s guide and also spent most of her life dedicated to Holocaust Education. After spending their lives educating and sharing experiences, Steffi Oertelt Samuels and Henry Oerfelt died less than a year apart, Samuels in 2010 and Oerfelt in January of 2011. Corey Samuels, however, had already

Houser wrote and produced the film, which is nine minutes long and played at nine different film festivals. Fortuitously, its final stop was the La Costa Film Festival in September. Samuels, who had lived elsewhere for most of her life, had moved to Encinitas less than two years earlier. “I had friends who were working as volunteers and mentioned a film festival,” Samuels said. “One of those friends encouraged me to submit the short film, but what was cool was that by the time the

reviewer saw it, they said they had already seen it somewhere else. It was neat that they wanted it for the festival.” The film was also co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust and will live on by being shown at that facility. Close friends after working together on the film, Samuels and Houser were in Florida a few months ago for a fundraiser with the U.S. Holocaust Museum’s South Florida Business and Professional Advisory Committee, which has made a commitment to rescue the evidence of the Holocaust. At that event, Houser told her that a suitcase of Samuels’ mother and grandfather’s writings and artifacts that they had used in the filmmaking had nearly been lost in a flood at Houser’s Ft. Lauderdale home. “She came to me and said our family was going to have to figure out what to do with these artifacts and, at the same time, we happened to attend this event for this institute and it just seemed perfect,” Samuels explained. “For my family overall, this gives us a beautiful way to sort of wrap up the story that my grandfather and my mother have been working hard to keep telling, and to know that it is saved somewhere. “As my mom knew she was not going to be around much longer, her literal last wish was ‘Please remember to keep my writing, keep my part of the story.’ It turned out that (the museum) considers the testimony, both of her and my grandpa, that’s written in the speeches they delivered, to be part of the record. I feel like if my mom knew that her actual writing was in there, she would be so excited and proud.”

Doing good through the art of the deal Retired Encinitas businessman Tom Grant likes to kick-start projects through philanthropy BY PAM KRAGEN From the time he was tall enough to pick an orange, Tom Grant has been making deals. He worked in his dad’s San Gabriel Valley citrus grove as a boy, spent 14 years in the Navy supply corps and reserves and ran his own contracting business for nearly 40 years. Now 84, retired and living in Encinitas, Grant has refocused his deal-making expertise on the philanthropic world. In 2005, he and his wife, Mary Ellen, gave $1 million to kick-start the campaign for a new critical care center at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. And recently — in memory of Mary Ellen, who died in June 2015 — Grant gave a $100,000 matching grant to the Angels Foster Family Network. His goal was to inspire other donors to help him transform the small nonprofit’s fortunes. Grant calls his timely donations “make it happen” opportunities. “I understood from an early age that when things are wrong, they need to be fixed,” he said. “When I see a need, I make it happen. Opportunities come in all kinds of covers, both business and philanthropic.” In the case of Scripps, Grant had medical issues that landed him more than once in the Encinitas hospital’s emergency room, where he saw first-hand its critical need for expansion and upgrading. And with Angels Foster Family Network, he saw how quickly a group of committed donors could improve the outcome for San Diego foster kids.

“I like to do financial engineering where money can be an incentive,” he said. “Our gift was matching, where every dollar I donate is ‘hocus pocus, magic wand’ turned into $2. That’s just good business.” Grant’s gift — announced at the Angels gala May 20 in Carlsbad and matched that night by a combined 200 donors — was the largest single gift in the organization’s history, said Jeff Wiemann, executive director. The 18-year-old organization provides services for 85 San Diego foster families. With this new money, Wiemann said Angels can now recruit another 20 to 25 families. “This gift is transformational,” Wiemann said. “It will truly accelerate our growth.” Grant grew up in Redlands where he said he was his “dad’s shadow,” learning the value of hard work and ethical business practices from the ground up. Eight days after he graduated from Redlands High School, the Korean War began. Rather than face induction into the Army, he negotiated a deal to serve in the U.S. Navy Reserve while studying business at the University of Redlands. “Thanks to my dad, I understood the significance of a deal, a good deal and a better deal. I took the better deal,” he said. At the university he met fellow student Mary Ellen. They married 10 days after he graduated in 1954. Their nearly 61-year marriage produced three children, eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild. In 1959, Grant started his own business,

Tom Grant, a retiree and longtime philanthropist, recently donated $100,000 to the Angels Foster Family Network on behalf of his late wife, Mary Ellen. Grant General Contractors, and in 1980 he brought his son, Jim, on board. Two years later, Grant moved his family and business to North County, and when he was forced to retire for medical reasons in 1997, Jim took the helm of the Carlsbad business and bought him out. Jim Grant said he and his older brother Bill (now an orthopedic surgeon in Virginia) grew up much like their father did, with a hands-on education in business. Jim started working at age 11 and by their mid-teens, both brothers were toting tools and lumber on job sites. “The values he taught us were to always do what you say you’re going to do and walk a straight line,” Jim said. It wasn’t until after Grant reluctantly retired that he put his mind to giving back. When he identified the need for the new emergency room at Scripps Encinitas, making it happen became what he calls his “supplemental job.” Not only did the Grants give the first donation toward building the $94 million critical care wing that opened in 2014, they also gave tirelessly of their time. In 2008, the hospital honored Mary Ellen with a Distinguished Achievement Award for the

FROM SCHMITT, A1 superintendent of educational services and one year as deputy superintendent before becoming superintendent in 2013. He thanked the board for their faith in him and the opportunity to serve in all of those leadership roles. Both of Schmitt’s children graduated from Torrey Pines High School and he said he wasn’t expecting to leave SDUHSD, but it was an opportunity to lead a growing school district and to return to the Bay Area where he and his wife started their family many years ago and where much of his extended family currently lives. Schmitt took time to thank his executive team of associate superintendents, noting

countless hours she volunteered in its thrift shop. When she passed away last year, Grant said he wanted to find a way to memorialize her. Jim Grant had the perfect solution, Angels Foster Family Network, which he and his wife, Kim, have supported for several years. “Mom’s life was at home. Her whole life was devoted to being a great mom,” said Jim, who lives in Encinitas. “Angels seemed like the perfect memorial and when I brought it up with Dad, it resonated with him.” As he did with Scripps Encinitas, Grant said he didn’t commit to giving to Angels until he studied the organization’s finances and felt confident the right man was in charge. Angels’ Wiemann, who has worked in the nonprofit and for-profit fields for nearly 20 years, is also a Navy veteran. “Tom is an amazing man just like his son, which of course makes perfect sense,” Wiemann said. “They both believe in working hard, doing what is right for all involved and selflessly giving back to their community. At Angels we know every person who interacts with a child has the opportunity to make an important difference in their life. Tom embodies this belief .” Founded in 1998, San Diego-based Angels Family Foster Network operates on a budget of $2.35 million, of which 82 percent goes to program expenses. The program provides $1 in donated services for every $2 in federal funding provided to foster parents, who will typically care for four to six children. The money raised is used to recruit and train foster parents and provide them with case managers for 24-hour counseling and support. As a show of how valuable these foster parents find Angels’ services, Wiemann said they give about 50 percent of the organization’s donations. “They’re strong believers in how the program has helped them,” he said. Grant said his late wife was a “mother par excellence” to their children — Bill, Jim and youngest child Mary, also of Encinitas — so he knows she would be very proud of the Angels donation in her name. He thinks the organization operates on the same guiding principles that he has always followed in business and in life: “Do the right thing, pay your bills and the cream will rise to the top.” — Pam Kragen is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune. that none of the district’s many great accomplishment would happen without his “partners.” He thanked his executive assistant Joann Schultz, noting that he benefited from her 30 years of knowledge of the district, as well as all of the trustees on the board. He also noted he was very proud that three of the district’s leadership team will be going on to superintendent positions: Torrey Pines High School Principal David Jaffe to the Rancho Santa Fe School District; Canyon Crest Academy Principal Karl Mueller to the Coronado Unified School District; and Associate Superintendent Jason Viloria to the Laguna Beach Unified School District. “I have fond memories all around as an employee and a parent,” Schmitt said.

Encinitas man teams with La Jolla duo on unique business The Surf Society is ‘The Netflix of surfboards’

BY CHRIS SAUR Tyler Swain has seen a lot in the past decade, traveling around the world with surf photographer David Pu’u and filming surfers, then serving as a camera operator, producer and cinematographer for MTV and other production companies on shows like “Nitro Circus” and “Living Lahaina” and movies such as “Jackass 3D” and “Bad Grandpa.” But now, the 31-year-old has returned to live in Encinitas — where he surfed D Street or Swami’s nearly every morning as a teenager — and joined with Matt and Ben Murphy to work on The Surf Society. The Murphy brothers own and operate Bird Rock Surf Shop in La Jolla, where Swain also works, and came up with the innovative business idea a couple of years ago. Now up and running, The Surf Society is described on its website as “The Netflix of surfboards.” “It’s a membership program, where you can ride any surfboard you want, any time you want, you just pay a monthly fee. So it’s a subscription-based thing,” said Swain, who is The Surf Society’s vice-president of operations. “I don’t think anyone has ever done it before. You can ride-top brand boards anytime you want.” Matt Murphy is the CEO of The Surf Society and Ben Murphy is the CFO. The three have known each other since Swain was 6 years old, living in Escondido. “It’s a new concept so right now we’re just

Encinitas resident Tyler Swain is the VP of Operations at The Surf Society, a new business that is being described as “The Netflix of surfboards.” trying to educate surfers about our business and provide the best service — and boards — possible,” explained Matt Murphy. “We feel The Surf Society works for just about every surf demographic.” The subscription, which is currently going for $69.95 per year, allows beginners to learn and progress faster because they can be matched with a board suited for their ability. Intermediate and experienced surfers benefit by being able to use all of the newest shapes without having to purchase one of each board. “You wouldn’t want to play a round of golf with just one club and you can’t truly surf with just one

style of board,” Murphy continued. “If it’s small, get a longboard or a fish. If it’s big, get a step up. If it’s pumping, grab the newest high performance Channel Islands model.” Based on initial signup trends, as well as other market research the group has done, The Surf Society is looking for locations in Encinitas to open their first headquarters. For now, interested surfers can visit www.thesurfsociety.com or the Bird Rock Surf Shop in La Jolla to get more details or sign up. Swain is particularly excited to bring the opportunity to Encinitas and the beaches he’s enjoyed surfing since he was 12 years old.

“(But) I wouldn’t consider myself really surfing until 16. The day I got my license it was every day before school,” Swain said. “It was before Surfline and all that stuff. There used to be this (homeless man) who stood on a corner and you would pull up, hand him a dollar and ask him ‘What’s the surf doing today.’ He would (give all of the stats) and say ‘My call would be Swami’s or D Street’ and he was always spot on.” After finishing high school, Swain was accepted to Brooks Institute for film school and moved up to Ventura — where he just happened to move into a room in Pu’u’s house. The famous surf photographer eventually took Swain on surf trips around the world. “Me and him bonded, every single trip he went on, around the world, he took me,” Swain said of Pu’u. “He let me shoot the film and he would shoot the photos.” Swain has surfed and filmed all over Hawaii and more exotic places like the Seychelles Islands, Nova Scotia and El Salvador. On one of the surf trips, Swain met one of the producers of the then MTV show “Jackass” and told Swain he would be a good fit at MTV. Swain quickly dropped out of school, at age 19, and began working on TV and films. “I did a bunch of reality shows,” Swain said. “Living Lahaina was a fun one because I got to live in Hawaii. That was with a local guy, Matt Allen.” Allen is now the owner/operator and an instructor at the Maui Surf Academy in Encinitas. As for Swain, now that he is back from L.A. and living in Cardiff, he still surfs nearly every day in the area, but won’t disclose the location. “I’m old school mentality, I don’t say where I surf,” Swain said. “I don’t like to draw a crowd.”

Encinitas beats local rival for District 31 Majors crown ENLL reaches championship contest before falling to cross-town ELL

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY CHRIS SAUR It was a bit of déjà vu for local baseball fans at the Little League All-stars District 31 Majors tournament on July 4, as Encinitas defeated Encinitas National for the championship. For some of the Encinitas players, it was their fourth consecutive year winning the District 31 crown, and the second year in a row they faced off against ENLL in an all-Encinitas championship game. This year’s result was a 13-0 victory for ELL that featured a great all-around performance. “It’s pretty cool. Win or lose, these kids will see each other in school and always have these memories,” said Encinitas manager Gary Pederson. “They are our big rivals and last year they beat us in an earlier game so we had to beat them twice to win the championship.” One victory was enough this summer as the terrific trio of Garrett Warner, Carson Quinn (two innings) and Bryce Gilmore (11 pitches, nine strikes in the final frame) held Encinitas National to just two hits. It was an impressive feat as ENLL features big boppers Brennen Davis and Mike Prince and had put up scores of 22 and 19 runs in earlier tournament games at Mountain View

Park in Escondido. But on July 4, it was ELL providing the fireworks. After taking a 2-0 lead in the top of the first, the eventual winners scored four runs in the second inning, highlighted by Pete Knorr’s mammoth home run. Following a scoreless third inning, Encinitas came through with seven runs in the fourth to send the game into mercy-rule territory. Bode Horton, Gilmore, Knorr and Warner each had two hits for ELL, while Teagan Pederson and Braden Mazone each walked twice. Knorr’s homer was his second of the tourney, joining Pederson and Mazone to lead the team in that category. Pederson also contributed big time with his arm, tossing 7 2/3 scoreless innings in two of his club’s toughest D31 games — a 4-3 win over Del Mar on June 21 and the 4-2 victory over Poway American to send Encinitas to the title tilt. ELL finished 5-0 to emerge from the 14-team tournament with the D31 crown and earn a spot in the Section 6 tourney, which begins July 16 in Vista. On Friday, the Encinitas players and coaches were scheduled to appear on the Fox 5 Morning Show. The final score of the championship game overshadowed an excellent D31 run by

Encinitas National, which pounded Carmel Mountain Ranch, 22-11, in a wild tournament opener. A 10-9 loss to Poway American made ENLL’s road tougher, but it bounced back with victories over 4S Ranch (6-5 on June 25), Solana Beach (7-1, on June 27), Escondido American (19-3 on June 29) and Del Mar National (7-6, on July 1). That set up a rematch with Poway

American, and ENLL won that game, 4-3, on July 3 to set up the all-Encinitas final. In addition to Davis and Prince, ENLL got strong performances from Jake Batista, Brody Bevacqua, Christopher Castor, Cole Dondanville, Hayden Drumm, Chase Gianni, Thomas Greupner, Justin Grossman, Noah Lazuka, Crew Schenk and James Tucker.

Encinitas Juniors Little League squad takes D31 title All-star tournament run continues July 9 in Escondido BY CHRIS SAUR Behind a stellar pitching performance from right-hander E.Q. Workinger and a five-run explosion in the top of the sixth inning, Encinitas used a 5-1 win over host 4S Ranch on June 30 to capture the Little League All-stars District 31 Juniors title. ELL was still alive to play in the championship contest thanks to clutch hitting two days earlier from Connor Blough, who singled home Kai Haseyama to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh inning, and Wyley Sharp, who blasted a walk-off homer to left field in the first extra frame. With 4S Ranch reaching the title round from the winner’s bracket, the locals needed that first 2-1 win and the June 30 victory to wrestle away the crown. “I didn’t want the summer to end,” Sharp told the Encinitas Advocate. “(On June 28), I was leading off the inning … and (the pitcher) just left a fastball over the plate and I tried to drive it. Everyone was yelling just to get on (base) and I really wanted to win, I just got lucky and hit it over the fence.”

After winning the D31 tournament — which was played at the 4S Ranch Sports Complex — ELL qualified for the Section 6 tourney and will open on July 9 at 1:30 p.m. at Hidden Valley Middle School in Escondido. Expect Encinitas to travel well, as its red-clad fans made up the majority of the more than 150 spectators cheering at the June 30 game. Sharp said that spurred on the team in the decisive sixth inning. “We had more fans out here and that really drove us,” said the standout shortstop, who was one of a large group of ELL players that was on an 11-12 All-star squad that came within one step of the 2014 Little League World Series, bowing out in the West Regional. Before his team’s big offensive inning, Workinger and 4S Ranch righty Tanner Lappin were locked in an impressive pitchers’ duel, each holding the opposing lineup scoreless through five innings. Workinger went the distance, allowing four hits — but just one that went out of the infield —and striking out four in a dominating

performance. The one 4S Ranch run was unearned, and came after Encinitas was already ahead 5-0. “Our team just performed really well, it feels amazing,” Workinger said. “We just came out and we fought. We fight hard, it’s really fun to play with this team. “(On the mound) everything was working. My offspeed was working and I was locating my fastball really well. My catcher Pete (Gagne) was calling everything right.” After going pitch-for-pitch with the ELL hurler through five innings, Lappin finally blinked first — with Workinger providing the initial spark. Workinger led off the sixth inning by smashing a double down the left-field line, then 4S Ranch intentionally walked Sharp. Jobe Cubillian followed by ripping an RBI double to center field, before a 4S Ranch error made it 2-0. One batter later, Nick Sando kept the Encinitas rally going with an RBI double to left-center, knocking Lappin out of the game. New pitcher Sam Roberts got a rude introduction when Nathan Lawman singled in the fourth ELL run, then the crafty Cooper Dulich put a surprise bunt down and Sando scampered home to make it 5-0. The 5-1 win was the biggest spread in any of the three games the two teams played in the

In posting blowout victories over Del Mar (10-0 and 11-1) and Escondido National (15-0) in the other D31 contests, ELL got additional contributions from J.P. Kans, Jack Maes, Tanner McGonlough, Cody Martinez and Jean Alvarez. “There’s 14 All-stars on this team, 14 kids that have all come together as one,” said Encinitas skipper Bob

Former NFL star leads prostate cancer awareness campaign BY GIDEON RUBIN During the prime of his NFL career, Mike Haynes could stare down the likes of Joe Theismann and John Riggins and not blink. His singular focus helped make Haynes one of the NFL’s most valuable defensive players of his era in the 1980s, helping lead the Los Angeles Raiders to a Super Bowl XVIII championship over the Washington Redskins. It wasn’t until he was in the confines of a doctor’s office where the larger-than-life NFL Hall of Famer, who lives in North County, met moments that to this day he can’t account for. Haynes was with his wife, Gigi, awaiting prostate cancer test results. “When the doctor says your test results are positive I was lucky to have my wife with me in the room because I didn’t hear anything he said for probably the next five to 10 minutes,” Haynes said. Haynes, who is now 62, was 55 at the time of his diagnosis. He has since undergone successful treatment and is now promoting awareness of the disease as a

spokesman for the NFL, which has teamed up with the Urology Care Foundation (the official foundation of the American Urological Association: Visit www.urologyhealth.org). The awareness campaign was held in conjunction with June’s Men’s Health Month. “If you’ve never had that experience you don’t know what it is until you experience it yourself,” Haynes said. “My life kind of flashed ahead of me to where you’re thinking about family, different things I wanted to do and things I wanted to do for them, all kinds of things. “It caught me off guard. I was not really ready for this.” The diagnosis came as a surprise to Haynes, who followed a healthy lifestyle program almost to the letter after his retirement from the NFL. “I was getting up every day and doing a little exercise, doing a little yoga and eating healthy meals, getting good sleep,” Haynes said. “You feel like you’re doing a lot of things to help you live a long time and then when you get news like

PGA Junior League Golf is growing in popularity Youth play offered at courses in Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach With the nationwide program exploding in the past few years, 20 facilities in the greater San Diego area will be hosting multiple PGA Junior League Golf teams this season, including Encinitas Ranch, Rancho Santa Fe Golf Course, The Farms and Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. PGA Junior League Golf is designed as a fun, social and inclusive opportunity for boys and girls ages 13 and under to learn and enjoy the game of golf under the direction of PGA and LPGA Professionals who serve as team captains. In all, a record 30,000 kids around the country participated on 2,500 Junior League teams last year, a 233 percent increase since 2013. Kids wear numbered jerseys and play on teams with their friends, utilizing the two-person scramble format for competition, in order to reinforce the team concept and create a nurturing environment for learning the game, according to a news release. The program has also gained the support of several PGA and LPGA Tour players, including Rory McIlroy, Michelle Wie, Rickie Fowler and Lexi Thompson, who are Official Ambassadors for PGA Junior League Golf. “Golf is a great sport for parents to consider for their kids, and PGA Junior League Golf brings a fun, team concept to a game that can be played for a lifetime,” said Scott Kmiec, senior director, PGA REACH. “Through PGA Junior League Golf, PGA and LPGA Professionals are providing golf instruction to boys and girls along with teaching them the character skills and values of the game that they can carry into their adult lives.” PGA Junior League Golf is the key youth program of PGA REACH, the charitable arm of the PGA of America.

that you realize, ‘Wow,’ you do those things because you want to live a long time, but that doesn’t guarantee that you will. That was a shock.” Haynes made an immediate impact in the NFL. He was named the league’s Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1976 with the New England Patriots and in 1984 playing for the Raiders he was

named the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year. Other honors include being named to the NFL’s 75th Anniversary All-Time Team and the 1980s All-Decade team. The former Arizona State standout became the first person in his family to graduate from college. “You realize that when you go through situations like this that all these different things that you’re super proud of don’t really matter” when you’re diagnosed with a disease such as prostate cancer, Haynes said. The father of six had three young children at the time of his diagnosis. His oldest son, Tate, will be a senior this fall at Cathedral Catholic High School, where he plays quarterback. His daughter, Ivy, is a lacrosse player at Del Norte who’ll be a sophomore later this year, and his youngest son, Rex, is in middle school. “I just wanted to see them grow up and go to college and be good people,” Haynes said. “I didn’t want to leave my wife in a horrible situation. “Even though doctors were

saying ‘Mike you caught it early, you’re lucky. Don’t worry,’” Haynes said, “I just thought they were being nice.” Haynes’ doctors weren’t just being nice. Their prognosis proved to be accurate. Haynes’ experience with prostate cancer, however, compelled him to take on his new role raising awareness about the life-threatening disease that he acknowledged he knew little about before the diagnosis. Haynes pointed to some alarming statistics, noting that one in seven men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime, and more than twice that many African-American men (one in two-and-a-half) will develop the disease. He said it’s important that one takes care of their health, but also important to know one’s risk factors, including family history. Even more important, Haynes said, is to be proactive. “Get your robes on guys and get out there and get tested,” Haynes said.

Hidden Treasures community story art project

n June 25, a large crowd gathered at the Encinitas Community Center for the Hidden Treasures story art community project event. Attendees were treated to inspiring stories from six of Encinitas’ unsung community heroes — Anne Heyligers (St. Andrews Food Pantry), Doug Jones (CERT, Cruise Night, Y’s Men), Pat Lydersen (Park Dale Players) , Bill

Sparks/Sarah Garfield (Los Angelitos) and Elizabeth Sugarman (Sugar Sweet Farm) — and were able to view art work that accompanied their stories and was created by local artists Dody Crawford, Dorte Bistrup, William Feeney, Danny Salgado, Bella Colletta and Wendy Gauntlett Shaw. The artwork is now on display in the lobby of the Encinitas Library.

What Proﬁle? When Spider Veins Happen to Young People Spider veins—the bane of elderly women, or so the myth goes. But the truth is that anyone can get spider veins, including younger women and even men. So what are they, exactly? Spider veins aren’t quite the same thing as varicose veins, which are the more dilated and ropelike veins under the skin and which can be quite painful (and possibly harmful to the health if left untreated). Instead, spider veins, known as telangiectasias, are enlarged venules, which are the very small veins and blood vessels. Fortunately, in most cases, spider veins are painless. There are many reasons people get spider veins—they are caused by increased pressure on the veins. As we age, our venous walls weaken and then blood can pool (the

typical cause of varicose veins, for example). But what about in younger people? Most commonly, spider veins are associated with pregnancy, as the body undergoes a tremendous amount of pressure. But who else is at risk? Similarly, people who are obese are more prone to them as their blood vessels are also under greater pressure, as the body has to work hard to circulate the blood up from the feet and to the heart. But the truth is that perfectly healthy and even ﬁt people can get these pesky veins. Young athletes are often prone to them, especially behind the knees, as their strenuous workouts will elevate the blood pressure, and their legs often take a pounding. Spider veins appear when the body’s vascular system is under stress. The extra pressure in the veins makes them bulge and expand. In fact, even though they may be unsightly, they are quite normal. For some people, spider veins are genetic, which means nothing you can do can truly prevent them from occurring, and they can show up at any time. It’s part of your makeup. And if your parent had spider veins as a teenager, there is a good chance you will, too.

The appearance of spider veins is not something that should worry you, and in general, there are no health risks associated. However, there are some very rare cases of genetic conditions that can cause spider veins to appear in multiple patches on the arms and torso, so if you spot these, have them checked out just to be safe. It’s always good to have any type of venous condition on your medical record, and you’ll always want to know of any genetic predisposition that can lead to something more harmful than a cluster of dark veins. But you shouldn’t live in fear of spider veins; in most of the cases, they are completely benign. You should be aware, though, that they won’t go away on their own. To actually remove spider veins, you will need to undergo the very simple laser therapy. When treating spider veins with laser therapy, the laser damages the blood vessels, making them clot and dry up, at which point, they will get reabsorbed by your tissue. This non-invasive treatment can be done in the ofﬁce on a very short lunch break, for instance, or after track practice or yoga class. This treatment is different from sclerotherapy, generally used for the

treatment of varicose veins, which entails an injection of medicine directly into the blood vessel. The difference with laser therapy is that after treatment, you should avoid sun exposure for up to ten days to prevent a browning or discoloration of the skin. As with any laser treatment to the skin, there may be a small amount of spotting that appears in the area of treatment, but this will go away in a short amount of time and is nothing you should worry about. Be aware, though, that once you’ve gotten spider veins, they are likely to return, especially if you continue the same activities that caused them in the first place. If your veins are prone to swelling and bulging when under pressure, the rest of your veins will continue to do so; treatment is not a cure or prevention. For some people, spider veins can cause insecurity—they aren’t called “butterfly veins,” after all—and there is nothing wrong with wanting them removed. The key with laser therapy—as with every treatment—is to choose a doctor or specialist who is board-certified and experienced in the procedure.

OUR READERS WRITE Triple tax threat The proposed $22 million Cardiff Elementary School District’s tear down and replacement plan is not only costly and educationally disruptive, it appears to be totally unnecessary. The district reasons for its plan and expenditure do not justify the proposed expenses, especially since there is an alternative common sense, no additional tax, plan available. Common Sense Plan The Cardiff buildings scheduled for demolition appear structurally sound and fully functional except for neglected maintenance items. The cited roof, window and termite problems can easily be resolved with district money already allocated or on hand. The portables can be removed and not replaced because the district is currently 30 percent overbuilt and has a surplus in student capacity. With some adjustments in the distribution of classes, the current multi-purpose room could be modified to accommodate all Cardiff Elementary

students using money in the district’s annual maintenance budget. All food preparation is done at the central Ada Harris School kitchen. The existing Cardiff warming kitchen could be modified, modernized and ADA problems solved without major expense by using serving windows. The district could work with the city on the joint use of parking and traffic safety problems and save virtually all costs. The County Department of Education is presently working with five other districts to obtain solar installations at no taxpayer cost. The district should pursue such a pay as you go lease. The school administration wants another new school and the district wants to avoid spending on maintenance so it can have more money for employee salaries and benefits. Other than addressing these hidden wishes, the Common Sense Plan works for both students and taxpayers. The Cardiff District is one of the six richest in the county, yet it has trouble living within its income. The district doesn’t have a money

problem, it has a management problem. Rather than addressing this problem head-on, the district is trying to get the taxpayers to pass its bond and pay three times for the same facilities. 1. Property taxes (some of the highest assessments in the county) 2. 2000 Bond (taxpayers on the hook until 2025) 3. 2016 Bond ($47 million taxpayers cost over 30 years for the $22 million bond) If the electorate passes the 2016 Cardiff Elementary School Facilities Improvement Bond and the district is not forced to fully fund building maintenance, it will be only a matter of time before the taxpayers will be subjected to another onerous new tax proposal to correct the same problems. Vote “No” on Cardiff School Bond. Robert Bonde Dr. Bob Bonde was a members of the 1999 Cardiff Elementary District School Citizen Committee that planned the new Ada Harris School and modernized Cardiff Elementary School and supported the 2000 School Bond.

Integrative medicine aids life after cancer TO YOUR HEALTH

ore than 14 million people in America count themselves as cancer survivors today, and the number is expected to grow to almost 19 million by 2024. And while this positive trend is certainly reason to celebrate, significant challenges often remain for patients, even after they are declared “cancer free.” “The end of treatment often brings a mixed-bag of emotions,” said David Leopold, M.D., who directs cancer survivorship services at the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine. “Suddenly, patients are on their own and they don’t know what to do or how to move forward. It’s like stepping off of a cliff.” Integrative medicine is helping to bridge the gap for a growing number of cancer survivors. Integrative medicine complements traditional medical care with a “whole person” approach that addresses emotional, behavioral and spiritual well-being. The number of cancer survivors seeking integrative services at Scripps has more than doubled in the past few years. “Cancer survivors repeatedly have a group of problems that lend themselves well to integrative medicine,” said Dr. Leopold. “From managing pain and combating fatigue to dealing with anxiety and relationship changes, our goal is to focus on patients’ needs.” Scripps offers a holistic approach to help meet the

diverse needs of cancer survivors. Programs and services cover diet, exercise and lifestyle improvements, stress and pain management, as well as mind-body techniques aimed at improving quality of life. Survivors have a wide range of integrative services to choose from, including meditation, acupuncture, yoga, massage, nutritional guidance, healing touch (a gentle biofield therapy) and more. “Half of survivors have ongoing issues with fatigue without a clear cause,” said Dr. Leopold. “About a third experience lingering pain. Many have anxiety, as they worry about disease progression or recurrence or try to adapt to a new normal. Our goal is to give people back a sense of control that they may have lost following diagnosis.” Cancer is a significant life event and people need to work through the changes that result. “What we have found is that cancer leaves an invisible brand on a person. Patients need strategies to cope,” said Del Mar resident William Stanton, M.D., an oncologist and the medical director of the Scripps Cancer Center. Scripps has developed an exceptionally high level of collaboration between its oncology and integrative medicine departments. Such teamwork between the two medical disciplines has been shown to provide patients with quality of life improvements, and in some cases, to extend life. “The more people that touch a cancer patient, the

better off they are,” said Dr. Stanton. “It’s important for patients to feel like they are surrounded by opportunities for help.” Another bright spot for the cancer survivorship movement is the growing availability of proton therapy, which delivers less radiation to healthy tissue surrounding a patient’s tumor. Less radiation to normal tissue lowers the probability of side effects and treatment-related cancers. “We’re curing more people of cancer today and they’re living longer after their treatments,” said Carl Rossi, M.D., medical director of the Scripps Proton Therapy Center in San Diego. “More than ever, we need to be cognizant of the potential effects our treatments may have on patients’ long-term health. Radiation kills cancer, but it can also potentially cause cancer and other serious health problems, so the less of it we deliver to patients’ healthy tissue, the better.” Because it is composed of positively charged heavy particles, a proton beam can be controlled to deposit the bulk of its radiation dose within the tumor, with little to no radiation to nearby healthy tissue. By comparison, X-ray beams are composed of massless particles of energy with no electrical charge, and as a result, deliver radiation to healthy tissue in front of and after the tumor site. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

FROM PROJECTS, A2 needed improvements that provide congestion relief and enhanced rail services. “The vote by the CTC demonstrates the importance of having a dedicated local source of funding to leverage outside dollars to get key regional infrastructure built.” Approximately 25 percent of the North Coast Corridor program funding will come from TransNet, the voter-approved, half-cent sales tax for local transportation projects, which is administered by SANDAG. “The CTC vote marks a pivotal milestone for the North Coast Corridor Program and moves us closer to the start of construction” said Caltrans I-5 Corridor Director Allan Kosup. “We look forward to beginning construction on the first set of transportation and environmental enhancements near Encinitas later this year.” To date, 67 percent of the coastal rail corridor in San Diego County has been double tracked. About $1 billion of rail improvement projects are under development or planned in the corridor over the next few decades, with the goal of fully double tracking the entire 60-mile stretch of the rail corridor within the county. This stretch of the rail corridor is part of what is formally known as the

FROM BEACHES, A2 state to invest in sand replenishment projects,” said SANDAG Board Chair and County Board of Supervisors Chair Ron Roberts. “We are pleased that our efforts have helped restore eroded beaches and preserve recreational opportunities.” Between September and December 2012, the Regional Beach Sand Project placed 1.5 million cubic yards of sand at Moonlight, Cardiff and Bariquitos beaches in Encinitas, along with beaches in Solana Beach, Carlsbad, Oceanside and Imperial Beach. The Scripps study specifically highlighted the results of the replenishment project at three sites: Cardiff, Solana Beach and Imperial beaches. Researchers noted that the relatively larger grain size of

Los Angeles – San Diego–San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor (LOSSAN). LOSSAN is the second busiest intercity rail corridor in the nation, supporting commuter, intercity and freight services. Train operations on the line include Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner; the Southern California Regional Rail Authority’s Metrolink; the North County Transit District’s COASTER passenger rail service; and Union Pacific and BNSF Railway freight rail services. Each year, more than 2.7 million intercity passengers and 4.9 million commuter rail passengers (Metrolink and COASTER) travel the LOSSAN corridor. One in every nine Amtrak riders uses the corridor. Averaging more than 700,000 vehicle trips daily, the I-5 North commute corridor serves as a critical north-south link connecting San Diego to Los Angeles County, Orange County, and Baja California, Mexico. The corridor serves as a gateway for commuters, recreational users, goods movement, business centers, and local residents, providing access to 22 percent of the region’s total jobs. More information on the North Coast Corridor Project is available at .keepsandiegomoving.com/ North-Coast-Corridor/ NCCHome.aspx. sand deposited at the beaches — their coarseness — enhanced the effectiveness of the effort. Coarse grains are harder for currents to move than finer grains, as the coarser grains tend to fall more quickly to the bottom. SANDAG coordinated the $28.5 million Regional Beach Sand Project with funding from the cities of Carlsbad, Encinitas, Imperial Beach, Oceanside and Solana Beach, as well as the California Department of Boating and Waterways. A prior regional beach nourishment project was completed in 2001. SANDAG has been monitoring beach widths across the region over the past 20 years.

FROM BUDGET, A1 able to deliver and I’m proud of that. This team made it happen and some of it was daunting…There’s so many good things in that budget that I think will benefit the kids.” Salazar’s concerns were related to the district’s reserve level dropping from $19 million to $13 million and that with 82 percent of the budget going to salaries and benefits, it leaves very little to cut should the district need to. “The main reason I voted ‘no’ on the budget is that with a nearly $7 million projected deficit we are quickly spending our reserve funds. If the district does not get the future retirements of teachers it is hoping for (and replacing them with new hires at lower salaries), we will have no other option then but to cut staff which would raise class sizes,” Salazar stated. “I just do not believe this budget is in the best interest of our students or taxpayers.” Schmitt said there will be years when the district spends more than it collects and even during the hardest times, when its reserves were as low as 6 percent, the district was able to deliver and keep all of its programs alive without cutting staff or disrupting student performance. He

FROM MURDERS, A2 families in person this week before he releases more detail on the double-murder suicide case. (This newspaper went to press Thursday morning.) The killings took place June 27, inside the Via de la Valle home owned by Hannah’s father, Michael Arya, before his death in April. Friends and family members have said Hannah came home from an Arizona boarding school with Shin, a longtime friend and business associate of her father, joining her as a sort of chaperone. It was not clear why Amini went to the house. Investigators said someone called 911 about 11 a.m. to report possible child abuse at the home. Nelson declined to reveal what was heard or seen, but he said a couple of juveniles and an adult acquaintance of Hannah’s had been in front of her house, then went a short distance down the street to call for help. No calls for help were made from inside the house. Deputies summoned by the call got no answer at the door but saw through a window a woman lying dead on the floor. They broke in and found the other two bodies in other parts of the house. The lawyer, a family friend of Amini and her husband, James Moliere, described her as delusional and suicidal since the death of her brother, who lived in the home with his Russian girlfriend. He died at age 59 after a three-year battle with lung cancer. “She (Amini) had it in her head that friends of her brother were

said the district was able to manage and reduce its costs by doing things like not hiring new people and not considering raises. Salazar questioned how it will work for the district to not consider raises with the language in the teachers’ contract that states SDUHSD teachers must be number one in the county. “Wouldn’t we be required to give everybody a raise if another district pays more?” Salazar asked. Schmitt said it’s not a requirement at all and that particular clause has been in the contract for many years — in 2012, SDUHSD wasn’t number one but there wasn’t a demand for salary increases which he attributes to the district’s ability to communicate and negotiate with teachers. “Anything contractual is negotiable,” he said. Muir said deficit spending is “not a responsible way to prepare a budget” and said her reason not to support the budget was due to her belief that class sizes will be increased due to the language in the teacher contracts. Muir said many teachers have contacted her and told her the class sizes are too full. “You’ve mentioned that in public numerous times and you’ve been corrected numerous times. You are

wrong,” Schmitt said. “We are not increasing, the contract has nothing to do with that. We are actually the healthiest in class size we’ve been in a decade. We’ve actually reduced class sizes. “It’s been explained to you multiple times. You’re wrong, you’re reading (the contract) wrong, no one else reads it that way,” he said. “Pretty much everybody who’s looked at the contract besides you has said that,” Muir said. “I’m not going to argue with you other than to point out that we have not raised class sizes, the record shows that,” Schmitt said. “We believe we’re in great shape. The teachers believe we’re healthy in class size, the parents haven’t complained about it, the kids are thriving.” Muir remained unconvinced and said they would have to agree to disagree. After the 3-2 vote, Herman asked Associate Superintendent of Business Services and soon-to-be Interim Superintendent Eric Dill what would happen if the majority of the board voted against the budget. Dill said if it didn’t happen on June 30, the end of the district’s fiscal year, the district would be cut off from its financial system. “That’s just one item, just one area

that you disagree with, so you would vote against the entire budget and basically shut down our district on that one item?’ Herman asked Muir. “The most important thing in this district is low class sizes,” Muir stated. Herman, SDUHSD Vice President Joyce Dalessandro and SDUHSD President Beth Hergesheimer all expressed disagreement with Muir’s statement: “The most important thing is to serve our students,” Hergesheimer said. “Teachers, curriculum, I mean we could go on forever. You can’t say that’s the most important thing, besides which, it isn’t increasing,” Dalessandro said. Muir stated that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Several parents in attendance also spoke out about the district’s addition of social workers next year. As outlined in the district’s Local Control Accountability Plan, the district proposes to add a new site social worker role at all of the high school campuses to help support the counselors. They will also add three mental health providers, each of whom will come with two to three interns to assist. The new social worker and mental health support provider job descriptions were approved by

the board at the June 30 meeting. Earl Warren parent Louisa Triandis, an adjunct lecturer in social work at the University of Southern California, said she has seen a real need for more mental health support for students and complimented the district on an excellent plan. San Dieguito High School Academy parent Pamella Franzwa, a social worker who is also a clinical associate professor at USC, also spoke in support of social workers that are uniquely trained to look at the person and the environment and could help bridge the gulf that can happen between the child and the school. She said the new role will serve a “critical function in students’ social and emotional development.” Mary Turk, a Torrey Pines parent, said, “These days, all kids have a rough go of it and anything you can do to help them to navigate appropriately and get a handle on the feelings and all the stressors that they have now will lead to them becoming more productive members of society and they can be the best they can be. I see a huge benefit and applaud you for having the wisdom to address this issue.”

going to blame her for her brother’s death, and perhaps people would come after her in lawsuits, to ruin her financially,” said Carl Starett, an El Cajon bankruptcy attorney. He said Amini’s husband tried twice to have her admitted to a hospital when she became suicidal recently. On June 13 she was talking of harming herself, but refused to accept admission to the hospital, Starett said. Two days later, after she’d visited her brother’s house, a family friend told Moliere that Amini needed help. He took her back to the hospital and she stayed overnight before being discharged. “I wish she’d gotten the help she needed,” Starett said. “We don’t have any information, specifically, about why she snapped. ... The only answer seems to be that she had a severe mental breakdown that wasn’t caught and treated.” Hannah was attending Verde Valley boarding and day school in Sedona, Ariz. In social media postings her many friends remember her as a kind, loving and beautiful girl. She took part in equestrian events at school. Shin looked out for Hannah after her father’s death, according to Leyla Kaya, who used to babysit Hannah and work for Arya. He owned Global Capital Group in downtown San Diego, a mortgage and real estate firm, and for a time owned Cafe Lulu in downtown San Diego. Kaya described Hannah as “savvy” and intelligent, with an interest in politics. Shin, who grew up in La Jolla and went to La Jolla High School,

was a successful broker herself, her sister said. Her sister, who spoke to The San Diego Union-Tribune on condition that her name not be published, said Shin and Arya had been neighbors at one time. She said Shin was with Hannah on Sunday, June 26, making dinner for her and a teenage friend. “She had nothing to do with their family stuff,” the sister said in a telephone interview. “My sister was a practicing Buddhist. This is very odd. She’s always talking about cause and effect. I can’t understand how this has happened.” She described Shin as caring, strong, straightforward and assertive, yet vulnerable. Shin was unmarried and had no children. Kaya spoke of Shin as sophisticated, sassy, charming and tough. She once sold a house to tennis star Serena Williams. “She went through a rough patch (when Michael was dying),” Kaya said. “She finally felt at peace and felt like her whole life was changing for the better.” Kaya said Hannah flew into San Diego on June 25, and was planning to stay on through the Fourth of July. Kayla was supposed to pick her up, but plans changed and Shin drove down from Los Angeles to get her. Then Kaya, Shin and Hannah ate dinner at Cafe Gratitude in Little Italy and got yogurt before going to the airport to pick up the girl’s friend, who flew in from Portland, Ore. Shin was happy that weekend, talking about a $70 million project she had just secured in La Jolla, Kaya said. “None of this makes sense. It’s

very confusing, shocking,” Kaya said of the killings. “Mia was an innocent bystander. She came to help Hannah.” She said Arya went through a messy divorce, and Hannah lived with Arya and his girlfriend, Marina Ryzhkova. “Everything he could give his daughter, that was his goal,” Kaya said. She added that Arya and his sister never had a close relationship. Ryzhkova returned to Russia sometime after Arya’s death, and signed away her trustee rights to act for his estate in the event that Amini could not fulfill that role, according to Starett. With Amini dead, another family member could step in as trustee, or a professional could be appointed by the court, he said. Starett said he has known Amini’s husband, Moliere, for 35 years. Moliere, a software engineer, was married to Amini for 16 years and they had three sons, ages 10, 12 and 15. She was a stay-at-home mother who also managed rental properties she and her husband owned. Starett said Amini was the trustee of the Michael Arya Revocable Living Trust, and in that role had to manage the estate assets, such as paying the mortgage, utility bills, and Hannah’s tuition. Under terms of the trust, Hannah was to inherit 50 percent of the estate, and the other half was to be split among Amini, Arya’s girlfriend, Marina Ryzhkova, a niece and a nephew. Arya bought the Rancho Santa Fe house for $950,000 in 2014,

according to a real estate website. The two-bedroom, three-bathroom home of 2,395 square feet was built in 1986, and is currently valued at $1.32 million, the website said. “There’s no financial incentive I can see for her (Amini) to kill Hannah,” Starett said. He noted California law prevents a murderer from reaping financial benefits from the killing. He also said he knew of no serious dispute within the family over Amini’s role as trustee or her share of the inheritance. “The pressures of being trustee might have gotten to her,” Starett added. “There were some checks that weren’t written in a timely fashion. That could have led to some family friction.” Hannah’s mother, who lives in Oregon, remarried after her divorce from Arya. Starett said public records show that on June 10, she filed a lien against the estate for child support, discovery costs and attorney’s fees totaling $125,246. A judge confirmed an order for the liens to be recorded. Starett said he doubted Amini would have had time to receive mailed notice of the lien before June 27, so it was not a likely trigger for the slayings. He said Amini’s husband is “numb” while dealing with the murder-suicide and their three sons. “He’s got to pick up the pieces and go back to work,” Starett said. “James has told me had he known this would happen, he would have done everything he could to prevent it.” – Pauline Repard is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - JULY 8, 2016 - PAGE A19

FROM NONPROFIT, A1 low-income spots in the Aspire afterschool program at Paul Ecke-Central and joined with the YMCA to bring hundreds of low-income kids into its programs, most recently swim lessons. But it all started in 2007 with those 15 kids playing soccer in the YMCA’s Challenger League. “We went to the YMCA and asked for discounted pricing to be able to enter their indoor soccer season. They said fine, we’ll give you a discount if you provide your own uniforms,” Sparks explained. After playing one day in mismatched T-shirts, Sparks was able to provide uniforms for his team by finding discounted pricing in Mexico. “I felt like Santa Claus,” Sparks said. “None of them had played on an organized sports team, none of them had had a uniform before, I think a lot of them went home and slept in them that night.” Following that season, and a year and a half of negotiations with the Encinitas Soccer League, Los Angelitos was able to work out all of the details and the program’s doors were finally open to low-income families. Now, about 25 percent of the players (boys and girls) in the Encinitas and Cardiff soccer leagues are from the low-income families. “Our formula, and we’ve tried to replicate this throughout the community with other organizations that already exist … is that we do that outreach, we do co-registration with our partners and we do co-pays with the families and we negotiate with the community partners to give us what would normally be the financial assistance price, but to accept our criteria,” Sparks said.

HOME OF HOME OFTHE THEWEEK WEEK

That criteria, Sparks continued, is the same one used to determine eligibility for the federal Free and Reduced School Lunch Program. Los Angelitos has convinced the local community programs to recognize eligibility for reduced registration costs by that same criteria, and then further reduces the costs to the family through fundraising and economy of scale. For a young soccer player, for instance, if registration cost is normally $200, Los Angelitos’ deal with the Encinitas community league is to charge $135 per child, a cost Los Angelitos then splits with the family. Some families even pay their co-pay over the course of a couple of months, as Los Angelitos thinks getting the kids into the programs as soon as possible is goal number one. Around the same time as the deal with the soccer leagues was worked out, Sparks said he and his wife would often hear that the low-income kids were having trouble academically. And they knew that getting them into the school’s structured afterschool program — where they could get instruction as well as supervision — would be the perfect way to remedy those problems. “Regardless of one’s political affiliation, you can get people behind the idea that it is more efficient and less expensive to pay what we would call preventative costs … then to continue to pay for the costs of a whole host of social issues,” Sparks said. “If we integrate and provide this assistance at the front end, the outcome is going to be more successful for all of us. “At Paul Ecke-Central, we saw that the best way to help these families is to provide a safe, productive environment for their children after school. We went to the school district, trying to get these kids into the existing afterschool programs, which are not affordable for them.”

And the Trailblazers program was born. For the past eight years, Los Angelitos has been giving approximately $18,000 plus another $8,000 of co-pays from the families, while EUSD contributes approximately $20,000 more to allow 40 of Paul Ecke’s low-income children to attend the Aspire afterschool care on site for the entire school year. An additional part of Trailblazers is a volunteer program for successful high school students to come to the afterschool program and act as study buddies for the low-income students. They find this to be beneficial not just for the elementary school students, but as a great experience for the mentors, who also get a strong extra-curricular to put on their résumés or college applications. In addition to the soccer and afterschool programs, a third major focus for Los Angelitos has been swim classes through the YMCA. Sparked by the initial deal for the indoor soccer team, Los Angelitos has developed a successful partnership with the YMCA, which has worked with the organization to get hundreds more low-income kids into the indoor soccer program, the summer camp program and, this year, swim programs. “Not only is it a life risk, but as a social barrier, it is huge,” Sparks said of kids not knowing how to swim. “So many of us that live here, our focus is on the beach, surfing,

swimming, enjoying weekends with our families at the beach. But (without their kids being able to swim) this segment of our community is excluded from that because it isn’t a safe environment for them.” This year, local sponsors have worked with Los Angelitos to provide 150 low-income children with swim classes for a full year until they reach a competent swimming level. While Sparks and Garfield are the co-founders, and they credit their children — David and 17-year-old Ella — for embracing the program, another key member of Los Angelitos is board president Gaby Beas. “She is a product of this community, raised by her grandparents who worked for the Ecke family in the fields,” Sparks said of Beas, whose day job is the Director of North County Migrant Services for San Diego County. “She provides the hub, she knows all of these families from her work with the county. And she’s a dynamo.” Sparks, Garfield, Beas and other board members — John Earnhart, Josh Devall and Janisse Martintez — are currently working toward a partnership with the city of Encinitas, which would allow Los Angelitos to use their outreach and liaison services to connect low-income families to even more opportunities.
