From the North County Times:

Autism has not stopped Carlsbad High School senior and honor roll student Ian Mortimer, 17, from accomplishing his dreams, which Saturday included building a 500-foot rail fence.

“It’s a good, challenging project,” Ian said, as he led a team of volunteers from Troop 784, the Kiwanis Club of Carlsbad and the city of Carlsbad, and family and friends helping to install the fence in “Village H,” just off Carlsbad Village Drive.

The fence was created to protect the nearby property and the endangered species of plants and animals that live on it, said Paula Chester, Ian’s mother.

Thanks, Ian.
