BY JARED WHITLOCK The Encinitas Union School District ranked second to last out of 21 county districts in transparency for voter-approved bonds, a new report from the San Diego Taxpayers Association found. The report included 23 criteria to gauge whether districts are informing the public about how bond

money is being spent. EUSD met only 10 of those benchmarks for Proposition P, a $44.2 million bond that taxpayers approved in 2010. Notably, the district failed to post independent audits to its website. And it didn’t provide detailed descriptions online of bond projects and how they’re progressing, the report states.

“Taxpayers should be able to check how their money is being spent,” said Mark Leslie, president and CEO of the taxpayers association. EUSD Superintendent Tim Baird said the report incorrectly stated that the annual Prop P financial reSee BOND, Page 10

BY JARED WHITLOCK Residents in the eastern part of Encinitas who repeatedly overwater their lawns could face fines soon. The OMWD (Olivenhain Municipal Water District) Board of Directors voted on July 23 to bump up its drought status from Level 1 to Level 2, effective Aug. 1. Under Level 2, suggested Level 1 conservation measures become mandatory. So residents will be prohibited from irrigating to the point where runoff flows onto sidewalks, watering from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and hosing down driveways (unless for health or safety reasons). Also, irrigating will be limited to three days a week

for households. “Level 2 is focused on eliminating wasteful outdoor water usage,” said Joey Randall, management analyst supervisor with OMWD, on July 21. Repeat offenders can expect a letter, a second written warning and then progressively more expensive fines, up to $500 per violation. Enforcement will primarily be up to OMWD employees. To help, Randall said OMWD will utilize “the eyes and ears of the community.” Residents can report violators at the district’s website (olivenhain.com). SDWD (San Dieguito Water District), which serves the western half of the city, will consider Level 2 at its

next board meeting on Aug. 20. The districts’ push for Level 2 is a response to a call to action from the State Water Resources Control Board. It recently required that local districts impose mandatory restrictions, citing the drought’s devastating impact on crops and the economy. “We are in the midst of a historic drought, and the regulations recently imposed by the state board remind us of the critical importance of doing all we can to conserve water,” said OMWD board President Larry Watt. “The move to a Level 2 water supply shortage is an important step to ensure that there is enough water in reserves to meet demands into 2015.”

Jerry Brown requested a 20 percent reduction.

OMWD’s water demand from this past January through April was 20 percent higher than the same period a year earlier. Randall said this was the driest period on record, See WATER, Page 5

Many parents relieved by admission of wait-listed high school freshmen BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District found a way to get all 190 wait-listed freshmen into their schools of choice — a big relief for the frustrated parents of disappointed students who have now gained admittance to San Dieguito High School Academy and Canyon Crest Academy this fall. “I wish you all could’ve been there when I gave my son the news,” Cardiff resident Jim Bush told the school board members at their July 17 meeting. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 14-year-old as happy.” Superintendent Rick Schmitt said the district’s goal is always to match students with their first-choice schools. Admitting all of the wait-listed ninth-graders was made possible by recent approval for new buildings at Canyon Crest and San Dieguito, provided by Prop AA funding, giving

the district a long-term capacity solution to allow it to build bigger classes of 2018, 2019 and 2020. “We are confident that we can accommodate all students who select the academies at grade nine,” Schmitt said. “The solution is a fair one, a just one and it is about supporting kids.” While some parents used the word “miracle” to describe the solution, it was actually the result of a lot of hard work, said trustee Beth Hergesheimer. Schmitt said Michael Grove, associate superintendent of educational services and district staff, took the time to re-evaluate room use, work on master schedules and look at locations of special programs. Some classrooms will be consolidated, and teachers will share teaching space as needed. “I would like to thank the teachers for See ADMISSION, Page 21

Council could sell old fire station property Man injured in Encinitas train accident BY JARED WHITLOCK The Encinitas City Council is eyeing selling a small property that was home to a Cardiff fire station. Known as old Fire Station No. 2, it closed last year when the new Fire Station No. 2 opened. The new station, located on a nearby lot, is roughly four times the size and can house up to six firefighters and ambulance personnel. Councilman Mark Muir said the council took stock of surplus property during budget discussions last spring and the old station site stood out. “I’ve heard people say it’s an eyesore and something should be done there,” Muir said. “We’ve made some big purchases like Pacific View and so it doesn’t hurt to look at options for surplus properties,” Muir added. A council-ordered appraisal of the site from Vanguard Realty Advisors pegged the property’s worth at $410,000 under the current public/semi-public zoning. This type of zoning allows for everything from museums to hospitals.

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A man was struck by an Amtrak train in Encinitas but suffered only an injured right arm, a San Diego County sheriff’s deputy said. The incident occurred at 4:50 p.m. July 19 in the 1400 block of North Vulcan Avenue, said San Diego County sheriff’s Deputy Ed Macken. “Witnesses say the male was attempting to cross the tracks. He lost his footing, stumbled and fell as the train approached,’’ Macken said. The man’s right arm was injured and he was transported to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, he said. The accident was under investigation by the sheriff’s Rail Enforcement Unit, Macken said.

Due to Proposition A, a rezone request would have to go to a public vote. The council will weigh in on the appraisal and what could happen with the property; the agenda item is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 27. “We haven’t made any decisions — it’s still to be decided,” Muir said. At the same meeting, the council will also mull over whether it would like an appraisal of a 9.5-acre site at 634 Quail Gardens Drive. The land was also brought up during budget discussions. The city bought the site in 1999 for a possible park, but hasn’t approved any plans for it. The old station’s address is 1867 MacKinnon Avenue. The price tag for the station appraisal came to $2,900.

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A motorist suspected of reckless driving and DUI led authorities on a high-speed chase July 21 from San Juan Capistrano into northern San Diego County before crashing to a halt and being arrested. The chase began shortly after 2 p.m. in Orange County at Avery Parkway and Interstate 5, when deputies tried to pull over the driver of a Chrysler convertible. The motorist, whose name was not immediately available, refused to yield and sped off to the south on the freeway, at times reaching speeds in excess of 100 mph, according to Orange County sheriff’s Lt. Jeff Hallock. Near El Camino Real in San Clemente, California Highway Patrol officers took over the chase. The suspect crossed into the San Diego area and continued fleeing south before crashing the Chrysler convertible just north of Encinitas, the CHP reported. Officers took him into custody. No injuries were reported. The accident caused heavy congestion on I-5 for miles to the north, according to the Highway Patrol.

SDUHSD cap and gown refunds coming BY KAREN BILLING The check should be in the mail soon, if not already, from the San Dieguito Union High School District for those families requesting a refund from graduation cap and gown rental, according to Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services. A Uniform Complaint against the district was filed by non-district parent Sally Smith last May on the subject of the district levying improper fees. Dill said a review determined that the district was “compliant in all areas” except for the cap and gown fees. At the July 17 San Dieguito Union High School District board meeting, Dill said the district had received 315 refund requests and they are in the process of refunding the rental fees, an amount of just under $15,000. Smith is appealing the district’s decision to the California Department of Education.

Council won’t renegotiate Pacific View purchase price BY JARED WHITLOCK An Encinitas City Council majority declined to renegotiate the $10 million Pacific View purchase price, stating that the potential problems detailed in a recent environmental report are nothing new. The report from city staff, presented at the July 16 meeting, noted that the former elementary school contains asbestos. Also, neighbors could have a legal claim to an access road on the edge of the land, which would reduce the size of the 2.6-acre site by around 10 percent. But Councilwoman Lisa Shaffer said the city has been aware of those findings for a while. “If we found something really unexpected — that we didn’t know was there — we certainly should go back and renegotiate,” Shaffer said. “But discovering that the school building is old and has asbestos is not news.” She added that the city doesn’t have the grounds to renegotiate, since it has known about the road for some time. Shaffer, Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz and Councilwoman Teresa Barth voted to move forward with buying the property from the Encinitas Union School District on terms agreed to last month. Councilman Mark Muir and Mayor Kristin Gaspar, who have contested the purchase, opposed the motion. Gaspar said in light of the report, the city should ask for a discount.

“It’s inconceivable to me that we wouldn’t give residents access to their properties — it’s just impossible,” she said. “So what that’s done is actually reduced the size of this space. And now the price per square foot has gone up on the property.” Gaspar later added the road hasn’t been explored in very much detail at previous council meetings. City Attorney Glenn Sabine said it has yet to be determined whether the homeowners have a legal claim to the road. Ed Deane, senior civil engineer with the city, said the asbestos and other findings wouldn’t preclude development on the site. Many have floated the idea of an arts or community center at Pacific View, but nothing has been set. The city plans to do community outreach in several months to gain input. Barth said it would be more appropriate to discuss the road during the design phase of the process. Transforming the property would involve either retrofitting the buildings, which date to the 1950s, or installing new structures. The city will work to finance the deal by selling $13 million in bonds, with $10 million for Pacific View and up to $3 million for a new lifeguard tower at Moonlight Beach. The purchase won’t be final until financing is obtained, according to Jay Lembach, city finance manager.

An environmental report highlighted asbestos and other potential problems on the Pacific View property. But the council majority said the city was already aware of those findings. Photo by Jared Whitlock The plan to finance the deal will add between $700,000 to $750,000 to the city’s annual debt service — money to pay down interest and principal — for the next 30 years. As a result, the city’s debt-management ratio will increase about 1 percent to 8 or 9 percent. The council’s goal is to stay below 10 percent. Kranz said despite the added debt, the city is still funding all essential services.

“It is going to be something that future generations will very much appreciate,” Kranz said of Pacific View. Gaspar, however, said the money would better spent on core services. “I feel it’s important and that we’re obligated to provide not only the level of service that we have now, but an improved level of service in areas such as our road maintenance,” she said.

Boathouse preservation effort hopes for favorable winds County might be persuaded to fund repairs BY JARED WHITLOCK A rare tour of the Encinitas boathouses was held July 22 for county officials in hopes of lending preservation efforts a tailwind. The Encinitas Preservation Foundation acquired the SS Moonlight and SS Encinitas for $1.55 million in 2008, setting them aside for future generations. Now, the foundation, which rounded up the down payment from several sources, is seeking an estimated $250,000 to pay for foundation work and other repairs. Standing side by side on Third Street in downtown Encinitas, ultimately the idea is that the boathouses would become a museum. San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts, who toured the boathouses with a policy adviser, said the county is interested in contributing money to help achieve the goal. “My goal is to invest in projects that really preserve and build that community,” Roberts said. “And so the boathouses ought to be considered.” Roberts said funds could come from the county’s Neighborhood Reinvestment Program, which is for public projects. If the boathouses are chosen, the aim is to stretch county dollars with a matching donation. He noted that a recent $75,000 county contribution for Forensic Health Services of Escondido spurred a matching donation from a foundation. Along with potential support from the county, a historical-Encinitas bus tour last month raised money for the boathouses. Another tour is scheduled for Aug. 16. Plus, private donations are being sought. Miles Kellogg, an out-of-work marine engineer, built the boathouses in 1928 with salvaged lumber from the dismantled Moonlight Beach Dance Pavilion. Since then, the boathouses have become an architectural landmark. Tom Cozens, a member of the preservation foundation who led the July 22 walkthrough, said there’s been a renewed fundraising push, given the need to seal the boathouses to keep rain out, restore the wood to combat dry rot and improve drainage. And while stable now, the boats are moored in crumbling cement foundation. So far, the foundation has overhauled the plumbing and electrical wiring, but a lot of work remains, Cozens said. “We want the boathouses to shine so the entire community enjoys them,” he said. The foundation is looking to secure the repair money within the next year, Cozens said. Over the long term, additional funds are needed to pay the rest of the mortgage. An additional goal is to place the boathouses on the National Registry of Historic Places. Before nearby homes blocked the sightlines, the boathouses could be seen from Coast Highway 101.

ing reportedly caused a few car accidents in the past, Cozens noted. “They were a huge draw,” Cozens said. “Encinitas was known for the boathouses. And it still is.” A number of people have lived in the boathouses over the years. They’ll continue to be rented until they’re transformed into a museum, which Cozens estimates is about five years away. Inside, each of the boats has a living room, kitchen and two bedrooms, complete with authentic boat doors. And they have viewing decks. Atop the SS Moonlight, Matt Martisen, who has lived there for about a year with his wife, was lounging in a chair and gazing out at downtown.

Conservancy group seeks naturelovers for river valley program Enrollment is open (and limited to just 25 participants) in The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy’s 2015 Exploring Our Sense of Place Program. Register at ExploringOurSenseOfPlace.org. Participants experience the San Dieguito River Valley and watershed in all seasons, following its path from Volcan Mountain in Julian to North Beach in Del Mar. The eight excursions are held monthly from September through May, including a welcome reception at the Del Mar Powerhouse, followed by seven outings with experts in a variety of topics including Mammals and Tracking, Native Americans, Birds of Bernardo Bay, Geology, Chaparral and Water Resources, Piedras Pintadas Botany and the recent multimillion-dollar Wetland Restoration Project at the San Dieguito Lagoon. Recognizing the importance of connecting people with nature, “reflection time” is part of each event. A Graduation Luncheon is served at the San Dieguito Lagoon at the end of the program. More than 175 Explorers have graduated from the program, and many continue to participate in ESP Alumni hikes and educational experiences.

North Coast Symphony presents ‘Pops Picnic’ The North Coast Symphony presents its summer concerts “Pops Picnic” at 4 p.m. Sunday, July 27, and at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 29, at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive (at Encinitas Boulevard and Balour Drive). Broadway and movie score favorites will compose most of the program, including a medley from the recent animated hit movie, “Frozen.” Tables seating up to eight persons will be set up so that the audience can enjoy a picnic supper during the concert. Do bring food, but no alcoholic beverages. Tickets are available at the door: $10 general, $8 seniors/students/military, $25/family max. Visit www.northcoastsymphony.com.

“This view is what sold me on this place,” Martisen said. But there are drawbacks to calling the vessel home. Cooking is difficult in such close quarters; the ceilings are low; and the floors are sloped, he said. But he doesn’t necessarily mind the parade of people in the summer who drive or walk by to snap pictures of the boathouses. “What I like is, they make everyone smile,” Martisen said. Martisen found the $2,000-a-month spot the way most find houses or apartments these days: Craigslist. “I was skeptical. I mean — boathouses, really?” Martisen said. “But my wife was all about it and the location is great.”

Planning Commission clears path for community garden BY JARED WHITLOCK The long-delayed Encinitas Community Garden cleared a key hurdle at the July 17 Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission unanimously decided community gardens are allowed in the Encinitas Ranch Specific Plan, meaning the project doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a minor-use permit to move forward. As a result, Gordon Smith, president of the Encinitas Community Garden Committee, a nonprofit heading the project, said he hopes it debuts in the next month or two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on this for six years,â&#x20AC;? Smith said after the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finally, it looks like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re close.â&#x20AC;? The Encinitas Ranch Specific Plan allows horticulture services and agriculture operations, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t specifically mention community gardens. So the Planning Community had to decide whether a community garden was similar to various agriculture uses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a community garden â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to grow things in an agricultural sense â&#x20AC;&#x201D; doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit into agriculture, we have a problem,â&#x20AC;? Planning Commissioner Anthony Brandenburg said at the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, it seems to flow naturally.â&#x20AC;? Yet the project still needs a coastal development permit to take root. Organizers are working to attach the garden to an existing Encinitas Union

Randall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Put those together, and this led folks to irrigate landscapes or crops more.â&#x20AC;? Level 2 aims to achieve a 20 percent reduction. In the county, water use rose 3.5 percent during the 2013-14 fiscal year when compared with the previous fiscal year. However, water demand has declined 20 percent since 2007. As a result of the state boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action, larger districts like OMWD that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

School District CDP to fast-track the process. The garden proposes to sprout on part of a 10-acre property on Quail Gardens Drive owned by EUSD. Plans call for crops, educational facilities and other features on the rest of the land. After the meeting, Elizabeth Taylor, counsel for the Encinitas Community Garden Committee, said city staff will weigh in soon on whether the garden can be included in the coastal development permit with little effort or whether a lengthier amendment is necessary. Smith said the community garden will have about 80 large planter boxes; about 15 are already built. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People will get to experience what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like growing food for their friends and family,â&#x20AC;? he said. A small farmstand to sell produce might be a future feature, though not for at least a couple years, Smith said. He noted about 30 people have volunteered to set up the garden, and another 40 have expressed interest in plots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even advertised the garden, but word is starting to get out,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. Last month, during a meeting addressing the gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delay, the City Council expressed interest in waiving certain fees for the project if they arise at a later date.

adopt conservation plans by Aug. 1 could be fined $10,000 a day. The OMWD board will consider more expensive water rates associated with Level 2 at its Aug. 13 meeting. Districts opt for â&#x20AC;&#x153;drought ratesâ&#x20AC;? to discourage consumption and make up for lost water sales. SDWD wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mull over drought rates at its Aug. 20 meeting. But the board could eventually enact drought rates if a sharp decline in demand results in a significant financial loss, according to Bill Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell, assistant general manager of SDWD. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell noted if rates

stay the same and consumption declines 5 percent, the district would lose an estimated $430,000 over one year. Starting Aug. 1, odd numbered houses can irrigate Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, with the even numbered homes taking the remaining days. For multi-family units, the schedule is Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Other water agencies throughout the county will vote whether to move to Level 2 in the coming weeks.

Town Council preserves, protects rural Olivenhain Old meeting hall â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;is sort of the physical manifestation of the community spiritâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY KRISTINA HOUCK From the coastal Cardiff-by-the-Sea to the historical Old Encinitas, Encinitas is home to five distinct communities. Semi-rural Olivenhain is probably one of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more distinct communities, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primarily a residential community with few restaurants or stores within the neighborhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of the five communities of Encinitas, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of unique,â&#x20AC;? said Dave Perryman, newly appointed president of the Olivenhain Town Council. Incorporated in 1967, the Colony of Olivenhain Town Council was formed to preserve and protect the rural community, including the Olivenhain Meeting Hall, where town council meetings take place. Completed in 1895, the Olivenhain Meeting Hall was constructed on stilts and featured one 28-by-36-foot-long room. Community historians believe the meeting hall may have been constructed in honor of the colonistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 10th anniversary, since the decision to build the structure was made in November 1894, 10 years after the first settlers arrived. The meeting hall quickly became the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gathering place, and the preservation of the structure was the driving force behind the formation of the town council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of the physical manifestation of the community spirit,â&#x20AC;? said Perryman, an Olivenhain resident for 27 years. The meeting hall was restored in the 1990s, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in December 1993. From annual community-wide events to one-time occasions, it remains the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gathering place today. In September, for instance, residents gathered at the meeting hall to celebrate the life of Rick Story, Olivenhainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longtime UPS driver. Story worked in the community for more than two decades. He died in an off-duty head-on collision last August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole community just came together. It was really

Perryman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forum or a memorial, we provide the vehicle for the community to get together.â&#x20AC;? Located at 423 Rancho Santa Fe Road, the Olivenhain Meeting Hall sits in the heart of the town on a two-acre site shared with the shanty and Germania Hotel. The shanty, which is 10 years older than the meeting hall, was moved to the property in 1979. Also built in 1885, the Germania Hotel was moved to the property from what is now the south end of Seventh Street in 1982. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still here after all these years,â&#x20AC;? said Adeline â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twinkâ&#x20AC;? Bumann, who was recently appointed vice president of the town council. A resident of the community since 1968, Bumann has spearheaded restoration efforts for the historical buildings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can imagine what these two acres would be worth if someone would like to develop it into homes. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to preserve it.â&#x20AC;?

Besides preserving the land and maintaining the historical buildings, the Olivenhain Town Council also organizes some of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest-running annual events. Both the Bratwurst and Beer Festival in April and the Oktoberfest in October celebrate the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s German heritage, which dates to 1884. The April event was established in the early 1970s, while the Olivenhain Oktoberfest first launched a decade ago. Today, both events attract about 500 people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The grounds are full of people,â&#x20AC;? Perryman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody has a good time. The community and beyond supports those things quite well.â&#x20AC;? In addition, the Olivenhain Town Council hosts a variety of other events, including the Outdoor Cinema Series in August and September, the Craft Fair in November and the Holiday Wine Tasting in December. Having been appointed in June, the new leaders of the town council want to continue the restoration of the hotel and build on the success of annual events, while encouraging community participation.

Encinitas couple create interactive tale Come! Sit! Stay! at Cardiff’s Dog Days of battle for Los Angeles water rights BY KRISTINA HOUCK “There it is. Take it.” Los Angeles water department head William Mulholland reportedly said these famous words at the Nov. 5, 1913 opening ceremony of the city’s aqueduct, the 223-mile-long engineering feat he spearheaded. City officials marked the centennial of the completion last year, where Encinitas author Rebecca Carrer celebrated the occasion with the release of her book, “Rain Shadow.” “I took a lot of things that happened — and it was complicated — and wove it together, in a way that, I think, is a really good story,” Carrer said. “Rain Shadow” follows the conflict over the aqueduct bringing water from the Owens Valley to the city. Although rooted in reality, Carrer’s self-published novel is told through the eyes of a fictional reporter. “Usually the story is told in a pretty polemic way,” Carrer said. “There was controversy and bitterness because Los Angeles, essentially, went up and bought water rights and land rights in Owens Valley, and there was a lot of feeling that they were very sneaky about it and misled people about what they were doing.” In addition to her unique way of telling the

Rebecca and Laurent Carrer. ‘Rain Shadow’ is a finalist in the 2014 Digital Book Awards. story, Carrer decided to “show” the story through an interactive book. A finalist in the 2014 Digital Book Awards, “Rain Shadow” incorporates more than 70 pop-ups with background information and historical photos, as well as a clickable map. Carrer’s husband, Laurent Carrer, composed a soundtrack to accompany certain chapters and passages in the book. The music was recorded at Encinitas-based SpragueLand, with local musician Peter Sprague playing on several of the tracks. “To me, it enriches the experience of an historical novel,” said Carrer, who noted there are interactive children’s and self-help books, but few interactive adult fiction novels. “I think it’s a pioneering book.” Although she has worked as a commercial writer for about three decades, “Rain Shadow” is Carrer’s first book. She was inspired to write about the history of the aqueduct after watching the four-part documentary series “Cadillac Desert: Water and the Transformation of Nature.” Married for 23 years, Carrer and her husband have lived in Encinitas since 1999. “Rain Shadow” is available in print on Amazon. An eversion of the book is also available from Amazon and iTunes. For more information or to purchase the book, visit www.rainshadownovel.com.

Attendance has dwindled at general meetings, Perryman said. Until recent years, the council hosted a Fourth of July picnic, but the annual event was canceled due to low attendance. The council tried unsuccessfully to recruit a volunteer to revive the event this year. As the new board president, Perryman plans to make more people aware of the town council and its activities, and encourage others to get involved. “We need to get back to what Olivenhain is,” he said. “We’ve got a vision statement — it’s to preserve and protect our rural community. I think we’ve done a really good job of that. But maybe we need to think about how we support that vision in 2014, as opposed to 1967, when it was first written down.” For more information, visit www.olivenhain.org.

‘Hidden Treasures’ to celebrate unsung leaders in community-based story project BY DIANE Y. WELCH For some people, being active in a community provides a sense of belonging and an opportunity to help shape the community’s character. And when leaders within the community offer service, caring, compassion or wisdom for the greater good — often without reward or recognition — everyone benefits. Lois Sunrich, founding director of the nonprofit Story Arts Inc., is keenly aware of this aspect of selfless service, and has created a community-based story project for Encinitas called “Hidden Treasures” to celebrate these unsung leaders. The project is based around five emerging artists and five hidden leaders from Encinitas, who will be paired to create a citywide Story Arts reading and book arts exhibit that retells the leaders’ life stories while showcasing the artists’ creativity. Their stories will be shared in a group setting, so that everyone participating can also hear them. That idea came from a 2010 project through Story Arts called “Twelve Women, Twelve Months, Twelve Stories,” Sunrich explained. “Everybody in the group came together, once a month, when everyone got to hear each other’s stories.” Hidden Treasures will follow this model, she said. After the stories are gathered, the artists will attend a weekend workshop to make an art piece out of what they heard in the group settings when they were together. “They will be paired off, but they will get the chance to build community, which is a really strong piece of the work that we do,” Sunrich said. This idea has been a common thread for Story Arts for the past 25 years, through the community-based story projects and the publication arm of the organization, which publishes life story books. “Passing stories on is a powerful tool for community building. These stories belong to the community. So we would like to celebrate them and gift them back to the community,” Sunrich said.

Right: Lois Sunrich, holding the orchid, stands next to Adele Sloboda at the Memoir Makers celebration. Courtesy photos With the launch of the project’s concept, Sunrich is asking the Encinitas community for recommendations for those who may be considered hidden leaders, so far unrecognized for their efforts. “It should be someone who we don’t usually hear about. They are in the neighborhood or in the PTA. They are the mailman, somebody’s sister or brother, people who are out there who are making a difference — but no one knows about them.” The artists will also be Encinitas-based and the age range will be broad, but each artist will not be well-known — rather, just beginning on their creative paths. “We will teach them and provide them with the materials and skills to create a book art

that will retell their partner’s story, which will then be exhibited at the Encinitas Library along with a public reading of the stories,” said Sunrich. “We want the artists to understand the power of story, so we are looking for artists who would really like to know more about how to use story in their own art work.” The project is in the funding phase, with about half of the necessary money donated by the Seth Sprague Foundation. A further $10,000 is required, Sunrich said. Story Arts is hoping that the community likes the idea and that local businesses will help fund it. “By seeking funding from the community, it is in keeping with the spirit of the project,” said Sunrich. The official funding launch will be in September, with “Hidden Treasures” projected to be exhibited next spring.

Encinitas Walkers in 2012 at the Lumberyard Shopping Center Fountain, where the group starts its hour-long treks every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Regulars say the camaraderie keeps them coming back. COURTESY PHOTO

Encinitas walking group still in step after 15 years BY JARED WHITLOCK Fifteen years ago, three friends started walking regularly along a route in downtown Encinitas to burn calories. Followers soon joined, and Encinitas Walkers was born. The founders are no longer involved, but the group marches on. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday they meet up. The one-hour trek begins at 7:30 a.m. at the Lumberyard Shopping Center fountain. It then travels to Beacon’s Beach and turns around. The experience is about more than physical fitness, said walker Geri Beckord. “It’s the camaraderie of it,” she said. “Before you know it, the walk is over. It goes so fast when you have buddies to walk with.” She added: “We call ourselves the Walkie-Talkies.” The friendships run deep. Beckford recalled one walker who had heart problems and wasn’t feeling well. So some in the group cooked him dinner. During the recent fires that engulfed Carlsbad, walkers called those living in the area to make sure they were OK. When one regular’s daughter died, many in the group comforted the person and paid their respects in various ways. The group holds regular summer and Christmas parties, so socializing isn’t limited to the pavement. And it seems once an Encinitas Walker, always an Encinitas Walker. Many who have moved out of North County still keep in touch with the group or walk with them when visiting. “We still get Christmas cards from one of the founders who resides in Michigan,” Beckord said. She added: “We were just talking the other day about all the people who have been a part of the group. So many stopped walking for whatever reason, but left an impression.” There are no charges or dues. And newbies are welcome. “Just walk about to the fountain and say hi,” Beckord said. Beckord, who runs encinitaswalkers.org and keeps up with everyone, is the closest thing the group has to a leader. “I don’t do much,” she said. “It’s self-sustaining; people are drawn to it.” The group has about 30 regulars, with about a dozen on a given day, she noted. That’s held steady over time. “It’s the people that keeps them coming back,” Beckord said, adding that the scenery of Encinitas certainly doesn’t hurt.

Festival of Sail breezes to S.D. waterfront The 2014 Festival of Sail, hosted by the Maritime Museum of San Diego, will transform the North Embarcadero into a nautical theme park from Aug. 29-Sept. 1, when more than 20 tall ships and other vessels from around the world will visit. The festival kicks off at 11 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 28, with a majestic parade of tall ships on San Diego Bay. The parade can be seen from the embarcadero, Harbor Island, Shelter Island and Coronado. Festival visitors will be able to tour the ships and enjoy food and drink from dozens of restaurant booths, as well as seeing a petting zoo, pirates, cannon battles on the bay, sunset cruises and shopping for one of-a-kind items among more than 150 festival vendors. The Festival of Sail will be set along the North Embarcadero between Ash and Grape streets. Paid parking lots are available but parking will be extremely limited, so festival visitors are urged to use public transportation. The County Center/Little Italy trolley station is only three blocks from the festival. Visit sdmaritime.org.

Library and county officials, including San Diego County Library Director Jose Aponte, left, and County Supervisor Dave Roberts, third from left, celebrate the arrival of the new sorting machine at the Encinitas branch.

Mechanical sorter lends a hand at Encinitas Library Thanks to a newly installed machine, librarians in Encinitas can spend a lot more time helping patrons instead of in the workroom sorting books. The Automated Handler System â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or book sorter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can do the work of 1.5 employees and can process 1,500 items per hour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a sorting machine, materials are quickly returned to the shelves,â&#x20AC;? said County Supervisor Dave Roberts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More importantly, it means that the lifeblood of the library â&#x20AC;&#x201D; our wonderful staff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can spend more time directly serving patrons.â&#x20AC;? Roberts joined Encinitas officials and library supporters recently at a ribbon-cutting ceremony and demonstration of the machine. Patrons need only to slide borrowed items into a slot. From there, the machine identifies the items and the person who borrowed them, and prints a receipt. A conveyor belt then feeds the item into the book sorter, which determines which bin to shunt the item into. Librarians then roll the bins right to the stacks to reshelve the items. The Encinitas branch is the fifth-busiest branch in the county system. In the last fiscal year, the library logged more than 433,000 visitors, who checked out more than 751,000 items.

ports werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. However, Baird acknowledged that some of the relevant Prop P information was missing or difficult to find. In response to the report, he said EUSD is working to consolidate all relevant Prop P documents to a prominent place on its website, eusd.net. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we have almost all these items, and the other ones we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pulling together as we speak,â&#x20AC;? Baird said in an interview July 17. On July 21, the website contained Prop P financial audits and other criteria, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a list detailing bond work. By the end of summer, the district will have drawn about $22 million from the bond, according to Baird. Also, EUSD hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ordered a performance audit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one metric â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to gauge the effectiveness of certain Prop P projects. But the district is considering doing so in the future, he said. Baird added that an independent Prop P citi-

zens oversight committee and annual financial audits from the company Christy White havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raised any issues with bond spending. He also questioned why the taxpayers association hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reached out to the district to confirm its website findings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they were working on a report, you think they might have called and asked about the information,â&#x20AC;? Baird said. But Leslie said that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the reportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to satisfy our group, where we could show up in a car, pull out a briefcase and dig through the books,â&#x20AC;? Leslie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The point is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; could the average voter in the community whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to put their nickel into this uncover everything they need to understand the bond?â&#x20AC;? Leslie said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glad to hear EUSD is taking steps to improve transparency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not trying to play gotcha,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just want increased transparency.â&#x20AC;? On average, the taxpayers association found county districts met 90 percent of the criteria, im-

proving from 80 percent in its last report in 2011. EUSD wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part of that document because Prop P money had yet to be allocated. San Diego Unified School District and Sweetwater Union High School District received perfect scores. Only Julian Union High School District, which met seven of the benchmarks, performed worse than EUSD. Leslie noted that Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Proposition 39 passed in 2000, reducing the percent of votes needed for bond passage from 66 percent to 55 percent. As a result, the number of school bonds has increased, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more important that voters are kept in the loop, he added. The taxpayers association also noted four best practices for bond issues: an overview of bonds and oversight committees should be posted on districtsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home pages; include all oversight committee documents online; use auditors with a knowledge of best practices; and model oversight committees on well-regarded committees in other districts.

Encinitas native drafted by San Diego Padres BY ROB LEDONNE Maxwell MacNabb, the star La Costa Canyon High School pitcher who went on to greatness while playing at USD, was drafted earlier this summer by the San Diego Padres in a “dreamlike” scenario. “When I saw my name pop up on the computer on the last day of the draft, it was pure excitement,” he said from his hotel in Peoria, Ariz., where the Padres have a training camp. “I had a good feeling, but you never know. It wasn’t for sure I was going to get drafted by anyone. Once it happened, it was a huge weight off my shoulders. I took that day to relax and be calm and not worry about it. I hung out with my friends that night. That was on a Friday, and by Monday morning I was on my way to Arizona for physicals.” For MacNabb, being drafted by the Padres is the latest in a long road of accomplishments in the sport after first playing Little League in Encinitas. “I lived down the street from Park Dale Lane, so I was always at those fields,” he said. “Playing Little League was a no-brainer for me; it was what everyone did in that neighborhood.” However, he didn’t get serious about baseball until high school. “I started to focus on it much more,” said MacNabb, who won “Pitcher of the Year” in 2010 while playing for La Costa Canyon. “Playing for (La Costa Varsity Baseball) Coach Machado and with my friends was the greatest. Those years were some of the most fun.” Perhaps the root of that fun came from the success of the team, which won division titles multiple years in a row, catapulting MacNabb into the awareness of college recruiters. “Once I got into my junior and senior years of high school, I became much more focused,” MacNabb said. “Everything was preparing me for the next step, whether it was weight-lifting or practice. I was gearing up for the college level.”

Maxwell MacNabb Courtesy photo MacNabb’s shot at college ball arrived when the powers that be at the University of San Diego’s baseball program came calling: a Division I team. “Showing up as a freshman to a Division I team so accomplished was definitely a challenge,” said MacNabb, who joined USD’s ranks in fall 2010. “The game is the same, but everything that goes into it gets a little bigger and little faster. But it was a great experience, and another stepping stone learning to be a better pitcher.” McNabb’s success as he traversed those stepping stones caught the attention of the San Diego Padres, a team that he had grown up watching. “When they were calling me and considering me, I almost couldn’t believe that the Padres, who I’ve been a fan of for so long, had any interest in me at all,” he said. The interest came in the form of an invitation to join their minor league system, and MacNabb became one of the 40 players the Padres drafted in June. “Any team, anywhere could have drafted me,” said MacNabb of his luck. “Just getting drafted is a dream come true, but for me, having the Padres draft me made it that much more unbelievable.” For now, MacNabb is attempting to make the most of his opportunity while playing in the rookie-level Arizona League, run by Major League Baseball. “We’re about 25 games in so far,” MacNabb said. “There are some really good guys out here; it’s really fun. Being in Arizona is a little bit of a change, though.” He isn’t sure where he’s going to end up, but he is making sure not to stress about his future. “All I’m doing now is trying to make a name for myself pitching, and the rest will take care of itself,” MacNabb said. “I’m not concerning myself with how long I’ve been here or what level I’m at. You pitch and play, and you don’t know what happens. Growing up and watching (Padres legends like) Tony Gwynn and Trevor Hoffman, and now seeing the ‘S.D.’ logo on my uniform ... it’s surreal.”

Junior Mavericks Running Club teaches kids the joy of running through student mentors, top coaches and fun BY KAREN BILLING The kids of the Junior Mavericks Running Club were kicking up dust on the Diegueno Middle School track recently, a big mix of ages finding their happy pace. A 7-year-old matched the long strides of a mentor college runner with a smile on her face, and a pack of middleschool girls found a way to giggle and jog at the same time. One middle-school boy blazed the track in an all-out sprint, pumping his arms in the correct technique that Coach Robin had instructed. The Junior Mavericks Running Club, in the thick of its summer season, aims to build stronger runners, tweak technique, enhance endurance and teach an overall enjoyment of running that can last a lifetime. Junior Mavericks was founded by Coach Robin Missailidis, the Diegueno Middle School cross country and track team coach since 2006, and Laura Stuart-Platenberg, a masters athlete sponsored by PowerBar. Platenberg used to run marathons but now the mother of four focuses on the more time-management-friendly 5Ks and 10Ks. Missailidis has been an athlete her entire life, mostly tennis and softball. But she has become a cyclist in her adult life — she rides every year in the California Coast Classic Bicycle Tour, a 525-mile ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. She met Stuart-Platenberg in a swimming pool as she was training for a triathlon. The running club was inspired, Missailidis said, “because parents wanted it locally. Every time the season would end, a parent would ask if I could do extra sessions.” It started as just a summer club, but this year Missailidis formalized it as a business and asked her friend StuartPlatenberg to help. About 40 boys and girls, ages 16 and younger, regularly show up for twice-weekly workouts. Whether they are elementary-age students being introduced to running or middle-school runners trying to stay competitive or prepare for high school, the club offers effective workouts. The club runs in six-week sessions, during the layoffs between cross country and track seasons. In the spring, they tend to focus more on the mile for track, and in the fall, they build the mileage a bit for the cross-country distance. The community and camaraderie of the group plays a big role in helping kids develop a love for running. “My daughter met a lot of really nice friends, and that’s when she started liking it,” said Stuart-Platenberg, noting at first that her youngest was reluctant to tag along to practices. “They see that it’s fun to run with their friends, and that running makes them feel good.” The high school students mentor the younger kids, and everyone is motivated by the kid one step ahead of them. The kids even influence the parents watching from the stands, who are motivated to get back into shape. Missailidis said they have had parent run nights where moms and dads can join in. “The beautiful thing about the club is that a lot of kids have gone on to become successful athletes in high school and college,” Missailidis said.

This summer, the program benefited from three college talents: Steven Fahy, a recent La Costa Canyon grad who will run for Stanford in the fall; Ellie Abrahamson, an LCC grad and sophomore runner at Wake Forest; and Anne Charles, a Canyon Crest Academy grad who will run at Cornell in the fall. Three high school students are also helping out this summer: Molly Mineiro, Sarah Abrahamson and Steven Terris, all LCC students who came through Missailidis’ Diegueno teams. Molly, a senior at La Costa Canyon, started running under Coach Robin as an eighthgrader at Diegueno. Getting moving as a middle schooler gave her a head start and helped her realize running was a sport she wanted to commit to in high school. She now runs cross country and the distance events of 3200 and 1600 in track and field at La Costa Canyon. “I love running, and it’s inspiring in a way to see little kids want to come out here and exercise and do something good and healthy for them,” Molly said. Molly and the rest of the mentors were busy last week, leading groups around the track doing drills, running alongside the youngsters at their shorter-legged pace, offering words of encouragement. “We kind of give it to the mentors in the summer,” Missailidis said. “They just enjoy it, and the younger kids love them.” Steven Fahy and Steven Terris took a group off the track and into the neighborhood for

a longer trek. The off-road course is often used as a celebratory run at the end of the six-week training schedule as the kids run to Village Park’s 7-Eleven for Slurpee treats. The club also trains for races such as the Encinitas Youth Cross Country Invitational on Aug. 30, a race for 5- to 14-year-olds on the grounds of the old Olivenhain Meeting Hall. Several club members also competed June 5 at the Jim Ryun Festival of Miles at Balboa Stadium, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Ryun’s feat of becoming the first high school boy to run a sub-four-minute mile. The Junior Mavs had a great showing — McKenna Brown placed second in the middle-school girls division and Gavin Ailshire placed second in the middle-school boys division. McKenna, who went to Oak Crest Middle School, and Gavin, who went to Diegueno Middle School, will both attend LCC in the fall. Both were out leading the youngsters on runs and drills this summer. At the end of some workouts, the coaches select a “PowerBar Athlete of the Day.” The honorees are not always the fastest runners, but are always children who accomplished something they thought they couldn’t do. “You don’t have to be the fastest; it really doesn’t matter,” said Stuart-Platenberg. “The kids will cheer on the slower runners, and there’s a lot less stress than the other sports that they get involved with.” For more on the club, visit juniormavericks.com.

Opening Day Style at Del Mar Del Mar’s racing season kicked off in style once again with one of the area’s biggest social events, Opening Day on July 17. It’s a feast for the eyes, from the colorful parade of fancy hats and jockey silks, to celebrity sightings. Not to mention parties that took place everywhere, on and off the track, all day long and well into the evening. The centerpiece of the seaside oval’s celebration was the Opening Day Hats Contest, now in its 20th year. Officially established in 1995 by Julie Sarno as “The One and Only Truly Fabulous Hats Contest,” it brings out the most serious of hat aficionados, who spend months perfecting their headgear for prestige and prizes. This year’s categories were Best Racing Theme, Funniest/Most Outrageous, Most Glamorous, Best Flowers/ All Others and Best Fascinator. Photos by Jon Clark.

Encinitas Preservation Association hosts historical bus tour The Encinitas Preservation Association hosted another historical bus tour on July 19. The tour offered 50 historical points of interest and scheduled stops, including the Old Encinitas School House, San Elijo Lagoon, Olivenhain Town Hall, and the San Dieguito Heritage Museum, plus a drive through the San Diego Botanic Gardens. The tour highlight was a rare opportunity to tour the Bumann Ranch. Guides on the bus gave a brief history or story about each area. Each ticket supported the preservation of the Boathouses, which are among Encinitas’ most iconic historical buildings. The EPA acquired the SS Moonlight and SS Encinitas in 2008 in order to maintain them and assure they remain in place for future generations. Photos by McKenzie Images.

Rising star: French Corner creates bread, pastries with authentic flair BY KAREN BILLING The kitchen space inside the newly opened French Corner in Encinitas is truly a tiny corner. French chef and owner Alexandra Palombi-Long works on full display behind the countertop, a multi-tasking blur slathering a baguette with her homemade pâté, taking a fragrant quiche crust out of the oven and picking apart organic herbs to grind together for her homemade pesto. She tops a fruit and yogurt parfait with some of her homemade granola and carries it out to a customer enjoying one of the café’s outside tables. “That’s how I like it. The best food comes from the smallest kitchen,” Palombi-Long said. Her classic, authentic French pâtisserie training results in a daily selection of madeleines and meringues and macarons. There are light financier cakes and cylinder-shaped, custard-filled cannelés, a specialty cake from Bordeaux that is very difficult to find in San Diego. Crême brûlée and mousse au chocolat are two of her specialties, and she whips up crepes both sweet and savory. In baskets along the countertop are crisp pastries drizzled in cream and croissants sprinkled in powdered sugar and slivered almonds. Fresh ingredients are stored on baskets on the walls, all manner of utensils are packed together in canisters, and pans are stacked on shelves and hanging from hooks over Palombi-Long’s stove and panini press. Like her cousin, who owns the well-known La Note restaurant in Berkeley, she only pours Mr. Espresso coffee from a Bay-area based roaster that oak-roasts the coffee beans. The coffee menu is pure Paris — try a café au lait or order up a “noisette” (nuh-wah-zet), an espresso with a tiny bit of milk. Palombi-Long was born and raised in Paris in a food family — they’ve been involved in the art of French cuisine since 1920. “For us, it really is a family thing; we love food, it’s what we do. I have a passion for good food,” Palombi-Long said. “I started to love cooking by cooking with my mother. I was helping her in the kitchen as young as I can remember.”

“It was a wonderful experience, because I learned so much,” Palombi-Long said. In New York, she also met her future husband, a military physician with the U.S. Navy. Three years ago, the couple and their three sons decided to pack up and move to California. “We think it’s a fantastic place to raise a family,” Palombi-Long said, who has lived in Carlsbad for the past three years. Palombi-Long started the French Corner two years ago, selling her goods at the Leucadia Farmers Market. As she grew more successful at the market, she started looking for her own brick-and-mortar shop. When the space opened up on the corner of Highway 101 and Phoebe Street, it could not have worked out more perfectly. The space had been a hair salon, so a complete renovation was necessary. Palombi-Long is thrilled with the comfortably cozy result. As she says, good food does not have to be complicated; it just takes simple, fresh, organic inAlexandra Palombi-Long opened The French Corner on Highway gredients. 101 in late May. Photo by Karen Billing “The key is, I do everything I can,” said Palombi-Long. She recalls visiting Paris markets with her mother, gathIndeed, her hand is in nearly everything in the café — ering all of the fresh ingredients they would need in the kitchen that day. Working alongside her mother, she picked she makes the pesto and the vinagrettes, and while the bread comes from a local French bakery, she sits down with up all of her techniques. Her parents owned an antique shop and they also in- the baker to be sure she gets exactly what she wants. The results are beautiful baguettes for her sandwiches, stilled in her a love of art. Along with studying art history, like Le Saucisson with salami, French brie and French pickshe started taking cooking classes. “Cooking comes natural to me — if you give me one in- les, or Le Jambon-Buerre, with French ham, gruyere cheese gredient, I can come up with 100 recipes,” Palombi-Long and European butter. Typically, Palombi-Long and one other employee staff said. “But I needed help to understand different techniques, the café, but she hopes to bring in someone soon to help in skills and cuisines” from different countries. So 15 years ago as a 19-year-old, she moved to New her kitchen. She will train them, of course, but the No. 1 York City, because she had heard it was a “fantastic” and qualification will be a love of food — the passion she hopes “magical” city. It was, and she became immersed in the to share fresh daily with the entire community. Visit The French Corner at 1200 N.

One day at a time, he reaches â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and passes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; yoga milestone Encinitas psychologist, 68, has persevered with exercise regimen for 1,000-plus days BY KATHY DAY One day after 68-yearold Ain Roost reached his goal of doing yoga for 1,000 days, he set a new goal: Do it for one more day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today is 1,001. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no point in quitting,â&#x20AC;? he said on July 16, a day after completing his personal challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My new goal is 1,002.â&#x20AC;? The local resident, psychologist and former Canadian Olympian took his first yoga classes in Marrakech, Morocco, after arriving there on the Marrakech Express from Casablanca in 1969. Along the road to 1,000 days, he said there were â&#x20AC;&#x153;lesser milestonesâ&#x20AC;? like 100 or 500 days. He even got a bit of a kick out of day 666, when â&#x20AC;&#x201D; conceding that he has a strange sense of humor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he acknowledged what is known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;number of the beastâ&#x20AC;? by quoting the Rolling Stonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sympathy for the Devil.â&#x20AC;? (Some interpretations point to a passage in the Bible book of Revelations, calling the number a symbol of the Antichrist.) With meditation and a

focus on mindfulness a part of his personal life that crosses into his professional life, he said one of his philosophies is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;be present a day at a time.â&#x20AC;? But sometimes his goals go a bit beyond that. He was already a practitioner of yoga and a gym regular until a combination of injuries to his knee, shoulder and hip sidelined him. Once he felt well enough to return to his yoga routine, he said, he challenged himself to do yoga for 30 days straight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I got to 30, I just kept going,â&#x20AC;? he said in a press release about his adventure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a habit, regular part of my morning ritual.â&#x20AC;? Part of the challenge, though, was â&#x20AC;&#x153;about more than yoga. It is about setting intentions and following them.â&#x20AC;? He also noted that yoga and meditation are part of every day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kind of like showering and brushing his teeth. Roost was born in Sweden. His parents, who left

Estonia in the face of the Soviet presence, moved to Toronto, Canada when he was 5. As a young boy, he grew interested in track and field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boys like to run and jump and throw stuff,â&#x20AC;? he said, so it was a good fit. Initially he tried decathlon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of running and throwing stuffâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but when he realized he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut out for all the events, he focused on throwing. So discus, javelin and shot put became his sports, earning him a college scholarship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was most successful at discus,â&#x20AC;? he added. Using that talent, he spent â&#x20AC;&#x153;a magicalâ&#x20AC;? 10 years on the Canadian National Track & Field Team that took him to two Olympics, the Pan Am Games and other international competitions. As a young teen, he thought he wanted to be an architect, but as he got older, he became interested in â&#x20AC;&#x153;the mystery of people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; why we do what we do, what are we doing here â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?

Ain Roost set a yoga challenge for himself while recovering from injuries. He credits the practice with improving his strength, balance and flexibility. Courtesy photo The combination of philosophy, spirituality and psychology became a â&#x20AC;&#x153;continual fascination,â&#x20AC;? which pulled him towards a degree in psychology. He received his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota and worked in a variety of clinical settings before choosing private practice more than 10 years ago. He has offices in Carlsbad and La Jolla, with a lot of his clients coming from UCSD and the scientific and medical communities. He also uses his athletic background in performance enhancement work with athletes, writers, musicians and artists.

He sometimes uses the principles of yoga and meditation in his practice as well as his own life, in which he strives always to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;mindful and present.â&#x20AC;? His wife, Amy, is executive director of the Solana Beach nonprofit Silver Age Yoga that offers classes around the county (www. silverageyoga.org). The classes are supported by a grant from the City of Encinitas and the Mizel Family Foundation. She, too, is a yoga devotee, though she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been at it quite as long. When she first met Ain seven years ago, she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care for it, preferring more active exercise like swimming and gymnastics. But because she wanted to have something in their relationship they could share, she started yoga about five years ago. Her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenge inspired her to â&#x20AC;&#x153;get into a different grooveâ&#x20AC;? with her yoga. She said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done 30-day challenges on her own and cited research stating that it takes about that long for a new habit to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;hard-wired.â&#x20AC;?

For nearly 30 years, Rustic Home Furniture has offered one-of-a-kind furniture in North County. Most of the store’s selections are either handcrafted at the San Marcos shop or hand-selected from exotic locations around the world. “Normally, customers have to settle for what’s available,” said co-owner Ashwani Khanna. “Here, you can actually tweak everything.” Specializing in hardwoods and exotic woods, Rustic Home Furniture features a 16,000-square-foot retail showroom and workshop. Furniture is crafted with solid wood and hand-finished with old-world charm. “Everything here is solid wood,” Khanna said. “We don’t use any particle boards or veneers, which is the majority of what you see in the market.” Rustic Home Furniture was established 28 years ago, Khanna said. Always in San Marcos, the business has been at this location for 15 years. Khanna, who co-owns the shop with Paul Hansen, came to the company about 10 years ago. Originally from India, he has been in the industry for three decades and previously operated a furniture store in Beverly Hills. “I enjoy interacting with people and being able to cater to their needs,” Khanna said. “It’s very satisfying.” Rustic Home Furniture is at 1040 Los Vallecitos Blvd., Unit 107, in San Marcos. The store is open from 10 a.m.- 5:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and from noon-5 p.m. Sunday. The store is closed Wednesdays.

Sculpture exhibit blooms at SD Botanic Garden BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Any time of year is a good time to visit the San Diego Botanic Garden, but now is particularly inviting, with the recent installation of the fourth annual “Sculpture in the Garden” show, curated by art consultant Naomi Nussbaum. Nussbaum, born in Zimbabwe, made Solana Beach her home more than 25 years ago, and has become a significant part of the local art community. Since 2011, she’s been assembling a variety of popular and lesser-known artists for the SDBG exhibit, putting out a call for participants a year in advance. She favors San Diego-based sculptors, but always has room for a few extra-regional ones: three this year, from Seattle, New York and Los Angeles, were among the 34 chosen. In all, there are 47 works on display. The garden itself is a beauty, boasting 37 acres filled with almost 4,000 types of plants from around the world. The sculptures, placed in appropriate settings throughout the garden, provide an added feast for the eyes. At a June 29 preview of the exhibit, most of the artists were present, and happy to pose with their pieces, which will be on view through April 2015. A “Sculpture in the Garden” map, available at the entrance, makes self-guided tours easy, and a plaque near each piece gives more information. Summertime Special: If you come on a Thursday afternoon, you can stay for one of the Family Fun Nights, special programs of music and entertainment. They run from 4:30-8 p.m. through Aug. 28. If you go: Sculpture in San Diego Botanic Garden is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily (summer Thursdays until 8 p.m.) at 230 Quail Gardens Drive, Encinitas. Admission: $8-$14 ($2 parking fee); 760-436-3036; visit SDBGarden.org. PHOTOS BY MAURICE HEWITT

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Fitness studio puts clients on healthy path Former ‘Biggest Loser” contestant now helps others reach their health goals BY JOE TASH Mike Messina spent most of his life under a cloud of obesity and related health problems. At one point, he tipped the scales at nearly 400 pounds. Things began to turn around for the 43-year-old Encinitas resident in 2011, when he was selected as a contestant on NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” reality TV show. Although he was voted off the show after only two weeks, Messina decided to stick with the weight-loss and training regimen on his own, and he eventually lost 174 pounds in six months, claiming a $100,000 prize as the show’s home winner. “I wanted for the first time in my life to finish what I started and not quit on myself,” said Messina. Three years later, he has kept the weight off, maintained a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise, and is now using his experience to help others achieve their health goals. Messina works as a health and wellness consultant at San Diego Premier Training, a Carlsbad-based studio that offers group and private training for clients of a variety of ages and fitness levels. Mike Deibler, who owns and operates the studio with his wife, Emily, and a staff of 14 trainers, said Premier Training seeks to offer a complete fitness program for clients, as opposed to large gyms where people are basically on their own as they try to get into shape. “We want to take different approach. We look at what a person is trying to do and give them a plan, show them exactly how to do it,” said Deibler. The studio specializes in such areas as weight loss and overall strength and fitness training, according to Messina. Clients include professional athletes, a high school sports team, teens and adults in their 90s, said Deibler. Access to group training sessions is available for as little as $59 per month. “We can really service a wide range of fitness levels and goals,” Deibler said. “If you just want to be healthy, or become a Ninja warrior, we can accommodate you,” added Messina. The studio is in its sixth year, and has continued to grow. In 2012, San Diego Premier Training moved from its original 1,000-square-foot location to a 5,000-square-foot facility on El Camino Real, south of Palomar Airport Road.

their flexibility,” Schmitt said. “They also believe that ninth-grade students should get their first-choice high school.” Schmitt also thanked the parent community for advocating so strongly for their children. In June, several parents questioned the high school selection and lottery process after 65 students did not get into San Dieguito, and 125 students were wait-listed at Canyon Crest Academy. A community meeting was organized and the parents asked the district to explore the possibil-

ity of changing San Dieguito High School Academy to a boundary school. As it stands, the district’s two academies are non-boundary schools and any student in the district can apply to attend. If demand exceeds capacity, the district by law must conduct an unbiased lottery. Schmitt said issues related to boundaries are complex, but the district is willing to examine high school enrollment through an adhoc task force and a community-wide survey to see whether the district wants to continue to have “schools of choice.” “It’s a puzzle of many pieces that has to be ap-

Owner Mike Deibler works with clients at San Diego Premier Training. Deibler said they’ve continued to expand their offerings — for example, adding a Pilates class, and planning a women’s self-defense course. Deibler said he doesn’t want to expand to the point that the studio loses the close-knit, community feeling that clients have come to appreciate. “We don’t want to be overwhelming; we want people to feel comfortable,” he said. That effort seems to have paid off for the studio’s clients. “I am a die-hard San Diego Premier Training fan!” wrote client Ashley Babiarz in an email. “I credit Mike and Emily with keeping me fit during my pregnancy and helping me get my body back. Thank you SDPT for being a warm, friendly place to get your butt kicked.” According to his bio, Deibler holds a master’s degree in sport and exercise sciences from the University of Florida, and is a certified strength and conditioning specialist with the National Strength and Conditioning Association. After achieving his weight loss and fitness goals, Messina worked as a trainer with a weight-loss and fitness program in Hollywood, which he called his apprenticeship. He joined San Diego Premier Training in May, and his role is to meet with clients to determine their personal fitness goals, then direct them to the best program to achieve their goals. proached deliberately and thoughtfully,” said board member Barbara Groth. “I’m happy to hear there is community support for finding a long-term solution … It’s cool to hear that kids want to be at a school. It’s gratifying beyond our expectations.” As parent Bush noted, it wasn’t just the parents of wait-listed children who spoke up in the past few months, but the entire community, which he felt was “remarkable.” Encinitas resident Simeon Greenstein said he was impressed by the outcry of “brilliant, articulate parents energized by a commitment

to their children” and by the district that was so willing to listen. “I’m thrilled at the way the board and administration actively attempted to address what looked like a no-win situation,” Greenstein said. Parents said that issues still need to be resolved, such as the potential to allow closeness to a school to be a consideration in future lotteries, and to ensure the district keeps its goals for “equity and excellence.” Cardiff resident Chris Schwartz said that all the families who got involved to effect change want to continue to help the dis-

Mike Messina, before and after his weight loss. He is a health consultant at San Diego Premier Training. Messina’s own physical fitness was put to the test seven weeks ago, when he suffered a fractured vertebra after being slammed into a sandbar while boogie-boarding at the beach in Del Mar. He spent two days in the intensive care unit, then wore a neck brace and had physical therapy. Messina is convinced his conditioning helped him bounce back quickly from his injury. He was back at work within a few days, and is now able to play basketball again. “Why have muscle? It’s body armor,” he said. “Call it luck, but had I been out of shape, would I have played basketball last night or been working three days out of the ICU? No.” For information, call San Diego Premier Training at 760268-1023, or visit www.sandiegopremiertraining.com.

trict find a long-term solution. “This is just the beginning of a lot of work, and we know the administration has taken a major leap forward,” Schwartz said. “There are a lot of volunteers waiting in the wings to help get where you need to be.” Amid the joy expressed by parents of newly admitted San Dieguito students, Leucadia resident Sheri Perlman was still looking for her happy ending. Perlman bought her house in the district last year and her two children were denied access into San Dieguito — they were told that no exceptions could be

made. A sophomore and a junior, they remain on the wait list — while all the ninth-grade wait-listers were accepted. “At best it’s unfair, and at worst, it’s illegal,” Perlman said. “Nothing states that ninth-graders get priority. The education code says the lottery has to be random and unbiased.” Schmitt thanked Perlman for her comment and said that Grove would be in contact with her. The San Dieguito wait list has 46 sophomores, 35 juniors and 33 seniors. At CCA, the wait list has 103 sophomores, 41 juniors and 23 seniors.

Pushing boundaries

BY MARSHA SUTTON Few issues cause parents more dist r e s s Marsha Sutton t h a n changes in school boundaries. Who can forget the tumult when in 2002 the Del Mar Union School District moved hundreds of families from one attendance area to another? Resentment still lingers, 12 years later. The San Dieguito Union High School District created its system of boundaries nearly 18 years ago that has worked well over time – until now. SDUHSD was caught off-guard by the intensity of the protests from parents who noisily made themselves heard at recent board meetings and in a barrage of emails and phone calls to district staff and board members. But no one can say the district wasn’t responsive. Administrators may not have anticipated the problem, an oversight some may fault them for, but they’ve mopped up a potentially volatile situation quite nicely for this year … and are recognizing that the issue needs attention for years beyond 2014. San Dieguito Academy is located in Encinitas, just east of I-5, in the northern part of the district. SDA is considered a “school of choice” – meaning any student living within the boundaries of the entire San Dieguito district can choose to attend. The same “school of choice” principle applies to Canyon Crest Academy, located in the southern portion of the district, in the Pacific Highlands Ranch community east of Carmel Valley. Both “choice” schools have what’s called a 4x4 schedule which allows students to complete four classes in half a year, so they can take eight classes each year. The district’s other two high schools – Torrey Pines in the south and La Costa Canyon in the north – utilize a more traditional schedule of six classes a year, the same six classes all year long. TPHS and LCC are “boundary” schools, meaning that any student living within the school’s established boundary is guaranteed admission to that school. So anyone living in the north will go to LCC and in the south will attend TP – unless they choose and

are admitted to one of the two “choice” schools. When SDA was “re-envisioned” 18 years ago, the goal was to attract more students to the aging school. The 4x4 schedule was established, and a new culture was created in part by minimizing a focus on athletics to appeal to students more interested in the arts. This worked well, so well in fact that when Canyon Crest opened in 2004, many of the same principles at SDA were replicated. Fast-forward to today, when so many students want to attend SDA and CCA that demand has exceeded capacity. Lotteries were established, with waitlisted students clamoring to get in. The district is working to make LCC and Torrey Pines more attractive to students, but the major pull seems to be the 4x4 schedule, which so far will not be offered at either boundary school. The other attraction is the obvious one: proximity. Many students living within walking distance of SDA were waitlisted this year, inflaming parents – and rightly so. Families with incoming ninth-graders were not the only ones upset. At a recent community meeting in Cardiff, many speakers were parents of younger children who echoed the same complaints. Election year On July 10, SDUHSD superintendent Rick Schmitt published an update on the issue, acknowledging that enrollment and boundary policies should be re-examined but not offering any real hope for waitlisted students this year. This was not well-received by parents who wanted action this fall. In a letter to the SDUHSD staff and board, Encinitas resident Jonathan Edelbrock wrote that he was concerned about “families who are troubled now” – particularly kids who live near one school but are forced to attend a second-choice school farther away. Edelbrock said the district’s policy of “choice” for SDA “is an utter failure to our families and our community” and that changes are needed immediately to accommodate children wishing to attend their neighborhood school. With pressure building for changes for this fall, the district did an about-face. One day after Schmitt’s letter to the community was published, families with

waitlisted students at SDA and CCA were informed that the district would accept all incoming ninthgrade students. This amounted to 65 kids at SDA and 125 at CCA. “Recent developments with our Proposition AA Master Plan have allowed us to review and slightly revise the long-term capacity of the school,” the district’s message said. Cynical reactions? If you make enough noise, you get your way. And if you make enough noise in an election year, then you really get your way. Of course it’s the right thing to do, to admit students to their closest school. So something had to happen. But how did it happen, when the district seemed so certain just days before that the waitlisted kids would not be offered admittance? And what does it say to the families whose kids were waitlisted at SDA and CCA in prior years who were never admitted? Mike Grove, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of educational services, said that at Canyon Crest, 701 ninth-graders were admitted before the 125 on the waitlist were notified. Of the 701, Grove said 597 accepted. Unfazed by the estimated size of the class, Grove said he expected about 80 of the 125 waitlisted students to enroll, yielding a class of approximately 677 to start the year at CCA. Grove said that prior to the addition of the 65 waitlisted SDA ninth-graders, the district admitted 526 to SDA, of which 478 accepted. “We anticipate that approximately 40 of the 65 waitlist invitees will actually enroll, yielding a ninthgrade class [at SDA] of approximately 518,” Grove said, noting that the district over-enrolls “because we know there will be attrition.” Not every SDA parent was overjoyed. Sheri Perlman’s two children have been on the SDA waitlist for two years now, and were again denied entry to the school closest to their home in Leucadia. Although pleased for the 65 ninth-graders who were admitted this year, she said her “feathers got a little ruffled” when her request for admittance was again rejected. “I don’t want to undo anything for those kids,” she said, “but there’s a sys

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Over-regulation threatens small businesses Bureaucratic strangulation is the biggest threat facing small businesses in Encinitas today. The Planning Department recently decided that a 2-acre, heritage avocado orchard, Coral Tree Farm, can grow crops but can’t offer lowimpact community farm visits, vegetable boxes or small classes without a costly, time-consuming minor use permit. This decision is unreasonable, arbitrary, ill-defined and offers no guidelines for application to future activities. As the pro bono attorney for Coral Tree Farm and a candidate for Encinitas City Council this fall, I am appealing this decision to the City Council. We need city guidelines, and interpretations of those guidelines by city staff, that help small businesses to thrive and adapt instead of regulating them out of existence. Encinitas’ over-arching legal document, the General Plan, clearly supports the business of farming. It states in section 11.10 that the city should “provide an economic advantage, where possible, to agriculture in competing with the forces of urbanization to minimize pressures to redevelop to urban land uses.” Does requiring costly permits, prohibiting outright small Farm-to-Fork dinners and “suggesting” that Coral Tree Farm may have to construct a permanent ADA accessible bathroom, when an existing ADA accessible port-a-potty is already on site, further this goal? We should support building a community around our locally-grown food sources. It’s the natural evolution of our city’s agricultural heritage. There is a lesson to be learned from the sad experience of “Food Truck Fridays,” where gourmet food trucks would come together downtown, on private property, to offer a wide sampling of inventive, locally produced food. After a complaint, the city staff directed the food trucks into the exact same permitting process now being asked of Coral Tree Farm. The result: No more food trucks, no more “Foodie Friday” and the loss of that creative element of our business community. They were vibrant tax-paying businesses creating a cultural event at no cost to the city who disappeared from our community. Other types of home occupations, piano teachers for instance, can fill out a one-page form and pay $36. In contrast, the minor use permit process is so onerous and expensive (at least $1,600) it requires hiring professionals to complete it. The City Planning staff is doing their job very effectively. And their job is to regulate. Whether businesses come or go is not their concern. But it is the concern of the City Council. Without clear direction from them, small businesses trying to farm will suffer the same suffocation by bureaucracy as the food trucks. This is not an acceptable outcome in a city with such a deep and strong agricultural history. Catherine Blakespeare, an Encinitas attorney who can be reached at catherine@blakespear4encinitas.com

tem that they are supposed to follow.” Perlman said the board policy on high school selection says nothing about ninth-graders having priority over students in other grade levels. She praised the district’s staff, calling them “hard-working people” but said they should be able to accommodate the other students, especially those on the waitlist longer. At SDA, according to Grove, there are 46 10thgraders, 35 11th-graders, and 33 12th-graders on the waitlist. At CCA there are 103 10th-graders, 41 11thgraders and 23 12th-graders waitlisted. Huge numbers – 281 in total – not admitted to their first-choice school. Board directive In response to the uproar, Grove said the school board asked district staff to see if capacity could be increased at the academies to accommodate the ninthgrade students. After looking at room utilization at SDA and CCA, “we discovered that we probably could squeeze in some more kids,” he said. The capacity at SDA is about 1,600, he said, “but we can admit more because of attrition.” Opening enrollment at SDA this fall is about 1,670 – “about 20 over what we generally allow.” However, a large class one year often means a much smaller class the following year, in order not to exceed total capacity for the school. “This year the percentage of students that chose an academy went up significantly,” Grove said. “We don’t know whether that’s a one-year blip or whether that’s a trend.” Grove referred to California Education Code 35160.5 as the relevant law that guides district enroll-

ment policies. Sponsored by then Calif. Assemblywoman Dede Alpert, this law, Assembly Bill 1114, passed in 1993. It allows intra-district transfers as long as seats are available. If demand exceeds capacity, then districts must employ an unbiased, random lottery, giving all applicants an equal chance. Exceptions include siblings of current students, threats of bodily harm, and children of district employees. San Dieguito honors the first two exceptions but not the third. In a conversation with Dede Alpert, she said the law was never designed to prohibit children from attending their neighborhood school. She said all schools in San Dieguito could be boundary schools, but then under the law each school would be available to any student throughout the district for any remaining open seats. She also stated that she believed it was legal to have academies as San Dieguito has chosen to do. The district could have all “boundary” schools, all “choice” schools, or a mix which is the current situation. Much of the immediate energy was generated by parents with ninth-graders on the waitlist at SDA who have now been admitted. But that won’t end the controversy. “People are still interested in the long-term solution,” Grove said. “I understand,” he said. “If you live across the street, you want your kid to be able to go to the school they can walk to.” The task force the district is creating to examine the issue will try to find a balance between proximity to a neighborhood school and the flexibility of having a school of choice. The goal, Grove said, is “to brainstorm all ideas” and to “figure out how we can maintain the benefits of

the choice program while trying to better meet the needs of the community.” But the idea of a task force was not universally favored. “I support neighborhood schools and believe the task force is unnecessary,” said SDUHSD board member John Salazar. He said a change “is so obviously needed.” He supports giving first priority to those who live nearby. “Then if there is room, open up to everyone else,” he said. A lovefest The July 17 school board meeting, originally expected to be jammed with angry parents, was instead a lovefest, with congratulations and gratitude all around for solving the immediate problem. With staff, board members and parents falling all over themselves to thank each other, it might have been easy to overlook the one unhappy face in the crowd. When Sheri Perlman addressed the board, she reminded everyone that the 281 students on the uppergrade waitlists are still waiting for their happy ending. Despite unresolved problems, a debt of gratitude is owed to the organized and vocal community members for stepping up and getting done what was needed years ago – a re-evaluation of outdated enrollment policies. Any change in school boundary policies will certainly leave some unhappy. But children must be guaranteed access to their neighborhood schools. Demographics change, student interests change, and neighborhoods change. So it’s time for a change in SDUHSD’s now antiquated system for high school selection, to reflect a new reality. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@ gmail.com.

YOGA continued from page 17

They both point to the benefits of yoga in one’s physical and psychological being — from reducing hypertension and back pain to improving flexibility and strength. Amy said it’s a particularly effective practice for seniors who often cite “fear of falling” as one of their greatest fears. Ain added that for him, the flexibility he gained is perhaps the biggest plus of practicing yoga. He said that his strength and balance are also “clearly improved,” as is his mental balance. The press release about his accomplishment reflects the humorous outlook of this 6’4”, 215-pound man. “It’s tough for a big guy like myself to kiss my knees with my forehead in a forward bend or do a full lotus, but that doesn’t ultimately matter. It’s not about how good you are at it, or how pretzel-like you can make yourself. I just do what I can, and because I feel the benefits I keep doing it” — day after day after day.

16th Art in the Village event is Aug. 10 in Carlsbad Held on the second Sunday of August, The Carlsbad Village Association’s Art in the Village will return Aug. 10, bringing more than 100 local and regional artists for a oneday, open air event.

Starting at 9 a.m., visitors can browse exhibits and listen to live music along State Street and Grand Avenue in the heart of the Village, just blocks from Carlsbad State Beach. “The CVA started Art in the Village as a way to draw attention to the local art community, which was largely under the radar until that time,” said Doug Avis, chairman of the Carlsbad Village Association’s board of directors. “We’re pleased to see its success over the years and growth from a small mar-

ket to a large yearly event that includes artists from all over North County.” As an added feature this year, guests who bicycle to the event will be offered a free valet service staffed by the San Diego County Bike Coalition in partnership with the San Diego Association of Governments and the city of Carlsbad. The valet service will provide secure, supervised bicycle parking so cyclists can enjoy the events without having to hunt for an ideal place to lock up their bikes. Art in the Village will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 10. Artists who are interested in participating should call Show Manager Brian Roth at 760-945-9288 or email info@ kennedyfaires.com.
