Trained mental health professionals and peer -support specialists w ork with the family (or other concerned individuals) to identify ways to maintain safety. Perhaps most importantly, IHOT uses their kno wledge, skills, and experience to sway the mentally ill individual to partici- LETTERS CONTINUED FROM A4 fighting chance to do basic things — like cross a street. Tom Reeser, Oceanside Re: Initiative headed for special election Since 1999, I have provided my office as a polling place for elections in Car diff. Presidential, primaries, and local.The lame decision by the Encinitas City Council to hold a special election at a cost to taxpayers of $350,000 on June 18 for an issue that should be handled by our elected officials has made me r ethink closing my office once again for a full business da y this June. Can’t this issue wait until a regularly scheduled election at no cost to taxpayers? Or not at all? If the council finds this issue so important, they should open their own homes and offices as polling spots. Regrettable, my office will not be a vailable. I will miss seeing all m y neighbors coming by to vote. Since our elected officials can’t resist spending our money, the $350,000 could better be used to wards a Wayside Horn System, as the city of Del Mar has done. This would be a much smarter way TASTE OF WINE CONTINUED FROM A22 Spectator’s experts at an average 95 points. Enjoy this wine with veal, well-seasoned pasta dishes, red meats and cheese. Andrea Cecchi is the family winemaker. He makes wines from family vineyards in Castellina, San Gimignano, Maremma and Umbria. In each area he saw challenge and greatness, and realized their full potential. Check out the Cecchi website at cecchi.net. Cellar Gems shine at Encinitas Wine Merchants “You will love our Cellar Gems, but buy them when you see them, ” advised Ellena Cassidy, one of the two partners at the ne w Encinitas Wine Merchants. Cassidy and Mar k Dubiel have just consolidated their retail wine stor e into the wine bar in the Kohl’s center in Encinitas. Dubiel, who has 37 years in the business, also runs a highl y successful Internet wine business, and is able to move some household name wines in “ones and twos” into the retail/wine bar at a big discount.Regular customers always check the pate in treatment. IHOT has been around for less than a year but the early statistics are promising. IHOT has dr amatically increased the likelihood that a person who is hesitant to get help f or their mental health symptoms will actively engage in the treatment process. By getting these otherwise disengaged people into treatment IHOT is proactive in pr eventing violent acts lik e the one our community just e xpe- to allot funds, and a true benefit to thousands of Encinitas and Cardiff residents who are impacted by the train horns. Kurt Hubert, Cardiff Need for city news bulletins Thanks for being the alternative to the U-T and our continued hope f or objective news reporting. I am sure you will grow! I was at an Oceanside council meeting recently and someone complained a bout missing the Oceanside magazine that the city mailed out I believe quarterly with the city goings-on. The magazine was stopped for budget r easons. That got me w ondering why there could not be a quarterly city newspaper bulletin pr oviding the same inf ormation. As I r emember there was plenty of ad vertising and some may spill over into your weekly paper. I am sure a city newspaper bulletin would be cheaper than a magazine. Maybe even friendlier and could be picked up all over the city. Just food for thought. Jack Key, Oceanside Council inconsistent re Ellena Cassidy is the friendly wine hostess behind the bar at Encinitas Wine Merchants. Here she serves up a Paso Robles Pay Dirt blend. Cellar Gems section first and snap up the standouts. “Our menu of 20 wines by the glass c hanges weekly, with Friday being a pr emier wine flight of thr ee pours with nothing but pr emium wines,” Cassidy said. The day I was in, she poured a 2010 Paydirt Paso Robles blend of Grenache, Zinfandel, Syrah, Mourvedre and Petite Sirah ( $29.99). “Paso Robles wines rienced. While IHOT has begun to demonstr ate their success, it still has very limited r esources to meet such an important need. IHOT needs the money and staff to help more San Diegans and to prevent unnecessary tragedies like the one in Encinitas. We will ne ver know for sure whether IHO T’s involvement would have prevented Evan’s death or the injuries of the jurisdiction Encinitas contracts with Peder Norby, at $100,000-plus per year, to be Highw ay 101 “facilitator;” taxpayers involuntarily support his acting as a lobbyist for a roundabout/lane-elimination plan decided against b y Solana Beach and voted down in Del Mar. Norby has now organized various Highway 101 business groups to change their names to “101 Mainstreet Associations,” a generic categorizing, which, on the surface, flies against Encinitas’ diverse communities’ desires to be distinctive. These name changes, and prejudicial special-interest subsidizations through the city , act against the best inter ests of citiz ens who support the right-to-voteon-upzoning initiative, and those residents, particularly those of us adjacent to 101, and local comm uters, who oppose the Highw ay 101 Streetscape Project’s five roundabouts and lane-elimination for motorists. In the case of the initiative, council claims the resulting ordinance requires “divisive” oversight by the Coastal Commission, whereas review actually wouldn’t be problematic. But in the case of Highway 101 Str eetscape, are favorites at the wine bar and blends are very big,” she revealed. Check out this wine oasis.

Carrie Eichmann, Julia Samara, and Matthew Stephens, Masters of Social Work students at San Diego State University council is effectively “thumbing its nose” at the CCC, saying the city can eliminate a lane for motorists on Highway 101, without processing required Local Coastal Program (LCP) amendments, an unwise decision now being appealed. And why are these newly renamed business associations sponsoring the dinner for Mayor Teresa Barth’s State of the City address? Shouldn’t that address be given at City Hall, as has been the custom, with few exceptions, so citizens don’t have to “pay-toplay?” We hope the ma yor also will repeat her address at a regularly noticed Council Meeting. We support neighborhood self-determination, enhancing the canop y, keeping Leucadia funk y, preserving community character, improving quality of life, and extending the e xisting railtrail bicycle lane ASAP. These goals would be f acilitated by empowering private citizens with greater ability to control our own lives, as is being demonstrated by the right-tovote-on-upzoning-initiative, through the populist, grassroots efforts of dedicated activists.

MARCH 22, 2013 CROODS CONTINUED FROM A20 aggression and a giant club to fight off beasts. Such a concept has pr etty much become the standar d interpretation of the ca veman. And why is that? Well, it’s because the rules are designed to keep anything classified as “new” away, out of fear that the unfamiliar will disrupt e verything we’ve ever known. But change can be a good thing. As much as we have come to associate cavemen with the wilderness, that doesn’t mean w e have to relegate them to living in caves. As told in the story of “The Croods,” the search for tomorrow can bring mor e opportunities for the ca ve people — and by extension, the audience — to explore. Nobody said living in a prehistoric volcanic world was easy, but the Cr oods receive an untimel y wakeup call when an earthquake destroys their d welling — yes, it’s a cave. They find themselv es journeying through uncharted territory in search of a new place to call home, all the while trying to stay a step ahead of the fantastical creatures and the ever-changing terrain. But for Grug (voiced by Nicholas Cage), the family patriarch, the situation c hanges even further when an intelligent caveperson named Guy (Ryan Reynolds) enters the picture. In addition to attracting the attention of Grug’s daughter Eep (Emma Stone), Guy introduces the family to the revolutionary inventions he’s discovered, such as fire, traps, and noise-making horns — all of whic h are at odds with the traditions Grug still depends on. Much like Pixar, DreamWorks Animation continues to stay at the top of its game: computer animation. Character movements are as fluid as the crumbling landscape the family struggles to traverse, and the scary action sequences involving creatures evoke vivacious memories from the “Ice Age” films. In terms of color, I liked how the earthy tones of the old world contrasted with the vivid colors of the ne w world; such a distinction helps to establish the adventure undertaken by the central characters and the obstacles they face. The universal nature of its thematic content enables “The Croods” to fulfill the underlying purpose of a family film: giving moviegoers of all ages something to think about afterwards. I was pleased to see how “The Croods” didn’t just consist of an e xciting adventure and fun c haracters and a “happily ever after” ending. It also serves as a contemplati ve lesson about change not necessarily being as terrible as w e often assume, as well as how our fear can become pr oblematic when it gets in the way of what r eally matters the most to us. I admit I was skeptical about this film’s choice of voice casting, but I’ve got to say everyone won me o ver. Nicholas Cage does a good job embodying Grug’s overprotective but well-meaning personality, and Ryan WANT ED: GROWNUPS TO MAKE NOISE, USE S HAKERS ANDSING OFF-KEY. (323) 333-6646www.BlossomMT.com BLOSSOM MUSIC TOGETHER Serving Encinitas & Surrounding Areas @CoastNewsGroup Reynolds is a definite scene-stealer during his moments as the charismatic Guy. Emma Stone brings a spirited curiosity to Eep, imbuing her role with enthusiasm and heart. The three lead v ocal performances are complemented by supporting turns from Catherine Keener (Ugga, the wife and mother), Clark Duke (Thunk), and Cloris Leachman (Gran); all of who provide well-timed moments of family-oriented humor and drama. With spring br eak just around the corner, families will probably be wondering if there is an ything in the THE COAST NEWS movie theaters worth checking out. Well, now is the time to step inside the m ultiplex right now, because “The Croods” is guaranteed to appeal to the kids’ desir e for fun entertainment and give the adults something to enjoy alongside their little ones.
